There's a distinctly nautical flavour to May's Member of the Month, as the award goes to ... drum roll ... captainccs.
captainccs, or Denny Schlesinger as he is known in the real world, is to be found almost exclusively in the PHP forum, where he offers help and advice based on his many years of coding experience.
I recently caught up with Denny and ask him a few questions to mark the occasion:
Congratulations on being awarded the MoTM badge for May, captainccs. How do you feel?
Pleasantly surprised.
I see from your SP profile that you're located in Venezuela. Is that your home country, or did something else take you there?
I describe myself as a "Caraqueño born in Berlin." We left Germany on account of the war.
Oh, I see. At least that explains why you have a German flag on your blog.
Anyway, I've got to ask: your avatar is currently a parrot (a Mitred Conure if I'm not mistaken). What's with that? You're not a pirate, are you?
Any captain worth his salt has a parrot.
A little bird tells me (groan) that you've been coding for over fifty years. That's a long time. How did you get started?
When I dropped out of school my dad got me a job as a programmer at the IBM Service Bureau in Caracas. They gave me a desk, a 50 page manual, took me to a client and told them I was the computer expert assigned to their account. On the way back to the office I asked my boss what the difference was between a listing and a tabulation. I've never stopped asking questions since.
And what changes have you seen over this period (e.g. the emergence of new technologies, developments in hardware).
Too many to list. Let's just say that my first mainframe, with 2000 vacuum tubes but with less processing power than a modern hand held device, took up a whole room and required two huge air-conditioners to keep it cool.
Wow! I can hardly imagine that.
You must also have worked with a range of programming languages. Which is your favourite and which do you dislike most? Why?
Programming is more art than science. A good language is one the artist feels comfortable with, one that helps in the creation process instead of putting unnecessary burdens on the programmer.
Pascal was never designed to be a production language, it was designed to teach orderliness. RPN languages like Forth are the most powerful but very difficult for programmers to keep track of things with, so they wither and die. HyperCard and FileMaker are difficult to work with because they are too compartmentalized. Large projects are difficult without objects. OOP is nature's way: molecules make cells, cells make organs, organs make animals, animals make families, families make clans or tribes or city states or nations. The difficulty is designing good objects. Currently my language of choice is PHP.
People often have asked me if I program in English or in Spanish. "No, in C." I reply or in whatever was in vogue at the time. LOL
So, how does SitePoint fit into all of this? How did you find out about the forums and what made you want to stay?
SitePoint is one of the best destinations to find answers to your programming questions. Of course, I found SitePoint by googling, by looking for answers to my questions.
There is one other site that might have more professional programming answers but they have too many hoops you need to jump through. They work too hard at keeping themselves pure. SitePoint has the right mix to keep you coming back.
What do you like best about SitePoint and what areas do you think could do with some improvement? Please don't be shy
I visit the PHP forum almost exclusively. The one thing that bugs me no end is the darn tooltip that keeps blocking what I'm looking at. Too much of a good thing is bad.
With all this talk of coding, I'm presuming this is what you do for a living. Is that correct?
I'm retired with almost no clients left. I now code mostly for the fun of it.
On a culinary note, what is Venezuelan cuisine like? Do you have a favourite dish?
I've lost 30 pounds since I switched to my "caveman diet" a quasi vegetarian regime.
Arturo Uslar Pietri was a well respected Venezuelan intellectual and a frequent speaker on TV and radio. He said that the "real" melting pot happened not in the bedroom but in the kitchen! Venezuelan cuisine is a mixture of European, African and Amerind. Although there are two or three "national dishes" the variety is really extensive.
One such national dish is the hallaca (hayaca) which is one of the three obligatory Christmas fares. The hallaca is a savory (not spicy) stew wrapped in a corn dough, wrapped in plantain leaves, and tied up with string. At an IBM 100% Club meeting hallacas were served, of course, to show off our stuff. Someone is reputed to have asked an American visitor: "How do you like the hallaca?" "It's great but the salad is a bit tough" (you're not supposed to eat the banana leaves).
I see you have a blog where you share your thoughts on everything from error reporting in PHP to making banana fritters. What inspired you to start that?
I registered Software Times in 1998 to teach myself about the WWW. As the name implies, the site was to be about software but it grew in other directions as well. My first host was a Mac/Filemaker server. At the time Filemaker and Excel were my programming tools of choice with Claris Home Page 3.0 as my HTML editor. But Filemaker and Home Page were neither mainstream nor very practical so I switched to LAMP which turned out to be a great choice.
Software Times remained pretty much private until I got fed up with an investing forum I frequented and I started to post about investing. Other subjects became important enough to have their own indexes. Software Times now has software, cooking, Venezuela, and books as secondary indexes but I'm about to kill the books section.
And finally, as a coding veteran, what words of wisdom can you give to people who are just starting off?
Get organized and keep it simple. A programmer spends most of his time debugging, not writing code. The less organized you are and the more complex your code, the more time you are going to spend debugging instead of coding. Write reusable code which raises your level of efficiency. And most important, write for the website visitor, respect good user interface guidelines. Apple's are the best and they are freely available online. And remember that Google is half your audience: if your website cannot be found on Google it might as well not exist.
Sherlock Holmes was the best debugger there ever was except he worked on crime instead of on software, but the method is the same. Look for the evidence to trap the criminal bug.
Oops, I almost forgot the obligatory silly question: pirates or ninjas?
Good answer
Now please join me in offering your congratulations to Denny and thanking him for his on-going help and support on the forums.
Congratulations, captainccs. Thanks for your great contributions to the forums, and well done to you and Pullo on a great interview. Very entertaining.
Congrats captainccs; well deserved, and congrats to Pullo on a fantastic interview.
Congrats! Well deserved Captain
Mayday, mayday. Not SOS. May 1st. day!
Thanks guys. SitePoint is a terrific destination and all you guys together make it so! :award:
BTW, it's easy to work with Pullo. Thanks.
Thanks, Denny, but Pulio ?!? I didn't inadvertently call you captaincss, did I?
Aw, now that's low. As you know you did, but you had peers who caught it so it didn't get published that way
Bugs, bugs everywhere! Sorry!:eek:
Shhh!! :shifty:
A little bit of whitespace between the top and the bottom of the letter "L" is not going to start a war, I hope.
Oh, oops! Completely forgot this was public now Oh well, cats out of the bag now.
Cutlasses at dawn
On a boat and the loser walks the plank (too corny? bah!)
At dawn? No way. That's the time for my daily hangover. You have no idea how hard it is to put the Sun down. It takes a good number of sundowners. And the darn thing just pops up again next day. Sorry, dawn is out of the question. You'll have to see my appointments secretary to set up an appointment, with Cutlasses of course!:drink:
With cutlasses the loser doesn't walk...
Okay, but I still vote on a boat, so at least we can ditch the body afterwards out in the open sea...
Congratulations, Denny. Very well deserved recognition for your sustained contributions to the forums and a very impressive interview by Pullo, Dave, aaarghhh. Really top notch!
Your recollections of Claris products, particularly HyperCard and Filemaker, brought back some splendid memories of my early home computing experiences. Had a huge amount of fun with those programs. "The good ole days."
Very honored to have you in our midst.
ronpat, thanks! Were you ever on the Claris FileMaker forum on CompuServe? That's where I got the captainccs (Captain Caracas) handle.
Congrats captain.

I have two CSS issues I can't seem to fix on the following page:
Issue 1: I can't get the main header navigation to float to the right of the container (currently floating to the left). Any fix for this would be greatly appreciated.
Issue 2: The blue buttons near the bottom of the page > the first one is correct (white text on blue button), but the second and third buttons which are the exact same markup have blue text (so it's invisible on the blue BG).
I know these are probably really basic issues, but I am struggling to fix them.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Not really sure what you mean. Menu is currently sitting to the right.
Issue 2: The blue buttons near the bottom of the page > the first one is correct (white text on blue button), but the second and third buttons which are the exact same markup have blue text (so it's invisible on the blue BG).
Same thing, really. They all look the same to me. What browser are you using? Maybe you need to refresh the page / clear the cache.
Hi Ralph,
Sorry I probably didn't explain that very well:
Issue 1: The menu site to the right, but I need the menu to be right aligned to the container so it sits all the way across (at the moment it's sitting in the left of it's container).
Issue 2: Oh sorry, it's just the visited state that it's happening – I refreshed and it is fine until you click on it and then look again.
You could just switch the LI floating from left to right (layout.css line 20):
media="screen, projection"
#navigation ul, #navigation ul li {
float: right;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
But the LIs will sit in reverse order. So you could perhaps add this instead:
#navigation {
width: auto;
In terms of fining the link, add this:
a.button:visited {color:white;}
Nice one! Fixed, thanks.
Hey can I please ask you one more question on this menu?
Currently I have the "//" dividers as content in the CSS (as li:after), and I have styled the last one as white so you cant see it. But it's still there and it stuffs up the right alignment of the menu.
I tried to remove the last // with CSS but couldn't work out how to do it. Any ideas?
You've left off :after in your override rule. You'd need to do something like this:
#navigation ul li:last-child:after {
content: "";
Great – thanks!
Thordendal, I recommend that you take a quick look at the HTML. There are some peculiarly placed
 tags that MIGHT cause problems.
Line 333

Line 347

Line 378

Open
 Close
 is not an "expected" combination. and Close
 without a preceeding Open
 is likewise unexpected.
I don't get the impression that any of them belong in the code. If that's true, then the page is "working" because of the forgiveness of browsers. No harm in giving it a look.

In addition to the Church's library, there is a large church archives department containing many records not at the FHL. Among them are diaries of early Utah settlers and an extensive collection of official church records. For a clear discussion of the department's holdings, see Glenn N. Rowe, "The Historical Department and the LDS Church," in David J. Whittaker, Mormon Americana: A Guide to Sources and Collections in the United States (Provo, Utah: BYU Studies, 1995).

For over a year on the first and third Wednesday mornings of each month, the Wake-Up Wednesday coffee ministry has been offering free coffee, muffins and a smile!
Politicians have destroyed our form of government. Gone are the days when we sent a farmer, a shop keeper or the guy down the road to Washington to represent us. Now we send slick, fast-talking lawyers who become intoxicated by the wealth and power that they now have at their fingertips.
Reading "The Local Agenda" headline in Tuesday's Times, "Transit remains unknown," saddened me. In April 2012, the Rapid Transit Subcommittee within the Infrastructure Transportation Committee of VISION 2030 presented an innovative transit plan for Hall County. No government cost was involved; and the plan could be immediately implemented.
On April 23-24, 378 Gainesville residents took action to change the face of cancer for generations to come by enrolling in the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study 3. This landmark study will take a long-term look at lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors that cause or prevent cancer, which will help the Society better understand cancer risks and causes and develop new prevention and treatment options.
Soon after the subject of gun control arose following the string of mass murders and the Newtown massacre. People began a gun- and ammunition-buying frenzy that will result in thousands of weapons and billions of rounds of ammo available to terrorists, criminals and mentally ill young people. The former two will have ready access to those arms by burglarizing homes, businesses and parked vehicles. Mentally ill children will have all this weaponry available from the buying and hoarding of guns by their parents.
Thank you to the person who found and returned my 48-year-old lost engagement ring to an employee of Northeast Diagnostic Clinic. I lost it during a visit to the clinic on April 15. After discovering the ring was missing, my first thought was that the ring fell off when I washed and dried my hands in the restroom. I collected the trash bags in each of the restrooms I had visited and reported my loss to the very caring receptionist.
Ominous dark clouds can be seen approaching on the horizon as America deals with the latest acts of terrorism conducted in our land. If the best we can do is to deny basic inalienable rights that were granted to us by our creator, what have we become?
Due to coverage of the tragic act of terrorism last week in Boston, the failure of the U.S. Senate to pass background check legislation was not widely reported by the news media. As is usually the case, the National Rifle Association holds enough power over our elected officials with their financial resources to defeat them in the next election if they do not vote as the NRA dictates.
Am I the only one that is concerned about the forfeiture of the Fourth Amendment during the Boston manhunt?
The viewpoint of Professor Lynn Stout of Cornell Law School in Sunday's Times is that the cheating scandal of the Atlanta Public Schools reveals "the dark side of offering incentives." She is really saying that test scores should not be used to measure a teacher's performance.
The Hall County commission and others want to back out of a decadelong relationship with the Red Rabbit, the city of Gainesville, and public transportation uses. Why?
As I write this, I'm looking out my window at the most horrendous amount of damage I have ever witnessed in my 70 years of life. On the night of April 11, we experienced the awesome power of a tornado. I knew something was about to happen; our dogs sensed something. In the period of about 90 seconds, I heard something comparable to a 747 passing over the top of our home.
Because my family had other commitments April 15, we didn't get to the public meeting at Mulbury Park concerning Cherokee Bluffs. I wish we could have been there.
Here are 10 reasons Hall County taxpayer involvement with the Red Rabbit is a bad idea:
In response to Fred Dissen's letter Tuesday ("Pro-gun TV ads cross the line"): So you are pro-gun. You are mistaken about the "out-of-state-funded TV gun commercials" attacking our Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. The ads are to show that people who support the Second Amendment also support stronger gun control and ask that they contact these senators to express their views.

Statue of Mary Todd Lincoln and Abraham Lincoln
Visible from Main Street, the statue is believed to be the only one depicting the couple together. In June of 1867, Mary Todd Lincoln traveled to Racine, Wisconsin, to spend leisure time while her sons, Robert and Tad, were in Washington to testify in a legal trial. While in Racine, Mary spent time looking into Racine College for her son, Tad.
Many years later, Lena Rosewall, a historian of the lives of Mary and Abraham Lincoln, felt that Mary had offered more to further her husband's career than for which history had given credit. After Rosewall passed way in 1935, her entire estate of $20,000 to was donated to create a memorial statue of Abraham and Mary together. The executors of Rosewall's estate chose Frederick C. Hibbard to create the statue. Hibbard created the statue of Abraham and Mary from gray granite in two years. He wanted to portray Mary and Abraham as peaceful and hopeful before the struggles of the Civil War erupted. The statue was dedicated on July 4, 1943.
Sustainable Energy Generation
The campus hosts three small wind turbines and a solar panel wall. Students have access to web-based power generation statistics offered in real time. While contributing only in a minor way to the overall power needs of the campus, the units serve as a learning tool for students and a symbol of Gateway's commitment to the environment.
Lake Michigan
The Racine Campus offers an incredible view of Lake Michigan. Whether summer or winter, students can enjoy the changing moods of the lake from inside the Student Commons or one of the outdoor sitting areas.
Native Prairie
Gateway has planted a native prairie on the lake side of the Lake building to help educate students about the importance of utilizing native plantings. The native species planted here are better able to thrive in our natural conditions.

After reading a few pages, I am very confused about how the move lists are suppose to be. It is very inconsistent; making it hard for me to improve this site. Sorry for complaining, but I just want to know how the move sets are suppose to look like. MezzoDragon 16:14, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
- I think there's no model for the moves at all... --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:28, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
- Really? That is problematic for me. I want to improve this wikia. However, since there is no way to probably list the moves, I am kinda at a lost. Perhaps there should be a model for the moves every Pokémon learns. That could greatly improve this site, I assume. If anything, it will make adding moves a lot easier for me.

Groene at the Legislature: Holding NRDs responsible
Groene, colleagues short-sighted on NRD funds
More opinion
NFU urges smooth, transparent transition to Fair Trade framework
New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
Public hearings have been held for 7 of the 11 legislative bills and resolutions I introduced this year.
Community college funding
The Legislature's Education Committee will consider LB 651 to repeal the property tax levying authority of Nebraska's six community colleges. Under this bill the community colleges would be funded by state general funds in the same manner as the University of Nebraska and the Nebraska State Colleges.
Beer tax
The General Affairs Committee will hear testimony on LB 653. The bill would increase the tax on beer by 5 cents per gallon.
Fifty percent of the revenue generated by the increase would be distributed to the State Patrol Cash Fund. The remaining 50 percent of the revenue generated by the increase would be used by counties for law enforcement purposes. The amount distributed to each county would be based on sales reports filed by beer wholesalers.
New game, parks district
Four of my bills and the resolution I introduced were referenced to the Natural Resources Committee.
LB 494 is my final bill this year to be heard by this Committee. LB 494 would create a new district for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. The new district would become the Commission's ninth district and would include the counties of Box Butte, Cherry, Dawes, Sheridan and Sioux. A new member would be appointed to represent the district and would serve a term to end on Jan. 15, 2019.
The new district proposed in LB 494 would include a significant number of unique hunting and fishing opportunities which are unavailable in other portions of Nebraska.
An additional board member from our legislative district could promote our resources and help build the tourism industry in western Nebraska.
What to prioritize
Each year senators, committees and the speaker of the legislature give priority designation to legislative bills. Each senator is allowed to select one bill, and each committee may prioritize two of the bills that were referenced to it for a public hearing.
The speaker may select up to 25 additional bills as speaker priorities. This special status increases the chance that these bills will be scheduled for debate by the full legislature.
In a 90-session priority bills must be designated before the 45th legislative day. On Feb. 20, Speaker Greg Adams of York announced that his office would accept senator committee and speaker priority bill designation letters on Monday, Feb. 25. The deadline for submission of a speaker priority request is 5 p.m. on March 14.
Senator and committee designation letters must be submitted to the speaker before the legislature adjourns on Friday, March 15.
A senator can prioritize a bill that he or she introduced. However, it is also a common practice for senators to select, with permission from its primary introducer, a bill that may be of particular importance to Nebraska.
In the next few days, I must decide which bill to designate as my priority for 2013. I will base my decision on what I feel will create the greatest benefit for our district and our state.
As always, I value your input, and welcome phone calls, emails and personal visits from you.
Rancher Al Davis represents District 43 in the Legislature, consisting of north central Nebraska. The seat was formerly held by Sen. Deb Fischer. Contact Sen. Al Davis, State Capitol, PO Box 94604, Lincoln, NE 68509, or phone (402) 471-2628 or email email@example.com.

The big question entering Thursday's summit is whether Herman Van Rompuy, the European council president, can find the right balance between the UK's demands for an austere long-term budget and France and Italy's calls for a more robust one. The more Van Rompuy stretches toward the Brits and fellow budget hawks by reducing his proposal, the more those on the other side of the debate pull back. Eventually, the whole thing could snap.
But on the eve of the big meeting, Van Rompuy may have found a clever way to give his budget more elasticity: By increasing the gap between budget commitments and payments. Read more

Barbados Church Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: Barbados Church Records, 1637-1850 .
Record Description
This collection of church records includes the years 1637-1887.
This collection of church records includes baptisms, marriages, and deaths for the Anglican Church during the years 1637-1850, and for other denominations the years 1660-1887.
Church records are created by an authorized priest, so the events in the life of parishioners may be kept in registers for preservation and future use.
The Anglican and other Church records of Barbados are a reliable source for genealogical research. For research after the civil registration implementation of birth and marriages in 1890 and for deaths in 1925, it is suggested to research both civil and church records and to compare the information.
The Anglican Church, which originally was referred to as the Church of England, was the first official religion in Barbados. The original Diocese of Barbados and the Leeward and Windward Islands established in 1824 was subsequently divided into five: Guyana in 1842 and Antigua in 1842, Trinidad in 1872, Windward Islands in 1879. Windward Islands continued to be administered by the Bishop of Barbados until 1930. These five together with the Dioceses of Jamaica created in 1824, Nassau and the Bahamas in 1861 and Belize (formerly British Honduras) in 1891 make up the Anglican Province of the West Indies.
The events of baptism, marriage, and death in the life of their parishioners were recorded in registers, where the record was handwritten in English and kept in the parish archive.
Nonconformist churches such as Moravian, Baptist, and Methodist churches began to be established from the 1780s and may also be a useful source of family records. Other religion churches in Barbados include Wesleyan, Catholic, Jewish, and miscellaneous congregations other than Anglican.

How to Use the Record
To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:
⇒ Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page
⇒ Select the "Parish" category
⇒ Select the "Denomination" category
⇒ Select the "Record Type and Year Range" category which takes you to the images.
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Begin your search by finding your ancestors in the index. Name indexes to baptisms, marriages, and death or burials make it possible to access a specific record quickly. Remember that these indexes may contain inaccuracies such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
When searching the index it is helpful to know the following:
- The place where the event occurred
- The name and surname of the person
- The approximate date of the event
- The name of the parents or spouse
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family.
For example:
- Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.
- Occupations listed can lead you to other types of records such as employment or military records.
- Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- The name of the officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other counties.
- Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- Use the marriage number to identify previous marriages.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
Keep in mind:
- The information in church records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another.
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for a different index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.

Brock Osweiler took the money and passed, heading from the Broncos to the Texans for $72 million. He returns to the Mile High City, where he shouldn't expect a kind reception from the fans.
Nor from the Broncos, who are in a nasty mood after dropping two straight. They still have a defense that can be dominant, and the Texans have been among the most inconsistent teams in the league, despite their record.
With J.J. Watt gone for the season, Houston is getting solid work from 2014 top overall pick DE Jadeveon Clowney, who's tied for the NFL lead with eight tackles for loss.

The inner self continuously inspires the individual to do evil and wicked acts except for Allah's Will. One can only be saved from these evils of the inner self through establishing a sincere and deep connection with Almighty Allah. One of the most effective ways of this connection is to pray to Him. A person may ask Almighty Allah to cleanse his inner self, open his mind and have a deep faith, by knowing that He answers to the prayers of His sincere servants as revealed in Surat al-Baqara, 186. However, the ways of establishing a close connection with our Lord are not limited to prayer. The inner self can be cleansed from ambitions, fears (fear of the future and fear of losing) and selfish desires, by thinking about His Might, the perfection of His Creation, talking about the blessings He granted, citing His name and glorifying Him and worshipping Him.
Giving Things Loved and Being Self-Sacrificing
One's inner self is inclined to gather and collect possessions, to be stingy, not to share these with anyone, to think of oneself as a priority, to be selfish and to avoid self-sacrifice. A person has to abide by the commands of the Qur'an revealed by Almighty Allah completely in order to be saved from these weaknesses. However, Almighty Allah reveals that the most auspicious way to put off the feelings of selfishness and stinginess in the inner selves is to give things:
"So have taqwa of Allah, as much as you are able to, and listen and obey and spend for your own benefit. It is the people who are safe-guarded from the avarice of their own selves who are successful." (Surat at-Taghabun, 16)
Condemning the Inner Self
One of the most effective methods of cleansing the inner self is to continuously condemn it. As believers know they will be truly saved and rewarded with Paradise by condemning their inner selves, they check themselves and their actions by asking questions like "What did I mean with this word? What was my purpose in doing this act? What do I hope to gain from this thought inside my heart?" When they do a mistake or wrong action, they share this with other believers and so try to prevent them from falling into the same mistake and also criticize the inner self to torment and crush it which is something it does not like due to superiority complex. Because the inner self is very inclined "to give itself individuality" and to embrace these mistakes as a result of this sense of self and to cover evil acts in this way.
It would not do any good to a person, who followed the wicked desires of the inner self and did not condemn and cleanse it in the world, to condemn his inner self in the Hereafter. However, Almighty Allah swears an oath on the inner self which continuously condemns itself following the Day of Judgment:
No! I swear by the Day of Resurrection! No! I swear by the self-reproaching self. (Surat al-Qiyama, 1-2)
Listening to the Voice of One's Conscience
Conscience is a great blessing Almighty Allah grants to His servants to be saved from the evil and wicked acts of the inner self. It directs the person to Allah, the truths revealed by religion and goodness, and ensures the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. In a sense, conscience is the voice of Allah directing us to the truth. If the person listens to this voice and fully understands the basic principles revealed in the Qur'an, he would be directed to the right path. When a believer is stuck to make a choice from a couple of alternatives in his daily life, he listens to his conscience when he chooses the alternative that complied with Allah's Will the most and that is the most useful for the benefits of the religion. It is the conscience that steps in the first and inspires the person as to which alternative is most appropriate for Allah's good pleasure. However, in the second phase, the inner self steps in and tries to direct him towards other alternatives. To do this, it generally whispers excuses to people. However, Almighty Allah heralds that He will save those who listens to their consciences instead of the whispers of the inner self that brings no benefit to the person:
But as for him who feared the Station of his Lord and forbade the lower self its appetites, the Garden will be his refuge. (Surat an-Nazi'at, 40-41)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/2/2013 (1644 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An aboriginal man who falsely accused two Winnipeg police officers of taking him on a "star light" tour two years ago will make a public apology Thursday morning.
Evan Maud made national headlines when he claimed in early December 2010 that two officers drove him out to the city's outskirts late at night, stripped him of his coat and left him there to walk back to the city.
Maud also claimed he was kicked off a Transit bus when he made it to the city.
But the allegations quickly unravelled when GPS devices on the officers' vehicle showed it never left the city.
Further proof came from video surveillance from two Winnipeg Transit buses, which showed Maud on the buses when he was supposed to have been walking in the freezing cold — and he was never kicked off.
Maud was charged with mischief for making a false report.
Winnipeg Police Association president Mike Sutherland said Maud had been involved in a mediation process, working with Onashowewin, an aboriginal restorative-justice program.
Sutherland said Onashowewin organized the public apology at its Broadway offices Thursday morning.
"We're not looking for a pound of flesh," Sutherland said. "But (the apology) is the least he can do."
Onashowewin has not confirmed the apology will be taking place.
Sutherland said the WPA had prepared a civil suit against Maud but added it's been put aside in anticipation the apology would be sincere, complete and made in public.

Pennington delivers walk-off win in nightcap
Gregorius sets up victory with eighth-inning HR off Darvish
PHOENIX -- Paul Goldschmidt was ready to pinch-hit in the ninth inning, but D-backs manager Kirk Gibson went with his gut and let Cliff Pennington hit.
"Just had a feeling it was Penny's night and put it on him, and he came through for us," Gibson said.
Pennington hit a Robbie Ross pitch down the right-field line for the game-winning walk-off hit as the D-backs rallied to beat the Rangers, 5-4, in Monday night's Game 2 of a doubleheader at Chase Field.
Arizona had won the first game, 5-3.
Miguel Montero led off the ninth with a double to right off Jason Frasor and after A.J. Pollock struck out, the Rangers brought in lefty Ross to face the left-handed hitting Eric Hinske.
Martin Prado, who injured his knee in the first game and had to be scratched from the lineup for Game 2, told Gibson he could pinch-hit if needed. So Gibson sent Prado up for Hinske, and the Rangers decided to walk him.
Rather than pinch-hitting for Pennington, Goldschmidt was on-deck to hit for the pitcher, and Gibson's faith in Pennington was rewarded.
"He's been really good, obviously, all year," Pennington said of Ross. "I knew he had a really good cutter, mid-90s fastball, and so I just tried to make sure I didn't try and pull it because you can't pull that cutter. So I was just trying to stay inside it and got it to come through."
Pennington, who entered the game hitting .198, has played sparingly since Didi Gregorius was added to the roster. That made his game-winner, the third of his career, especially sweet.
"Obviously you always want to do it," Pennington said. "Any player wants to do it at any time, but when you're not swinging the bat as well as you want to swing it, it feels even better. If you're going to just get a few you might as well make them count."
It was a strange game for the D-backs. They started and finished strong, but in between they struck out 15 times.
They got off to a hot start against Yu Darvish.
Gerardo Parra led off the bottom of the first with a single on the first pitch from Darvish and Gregorius also swung at the first pitch on a triple to right, driving in Parra.
"I saw Parra hit the first pitch so I thought maybe [Darvish] thinks I'm not going to swing so I'll just go ahead and swing too," Gregorius said.
Gregorius hit a cut fastball from Darvish, a harbinger of things to come.
Eric Chavez drove in Gregorius with a sacrifice fly and the D-backs led, 2-0.
Darvish, though, settled in and was dominant for the next six innings as he matched his career high with 14 strikeouts.
While Darvish was mowing the D-backs down, his offense was chipping away at starter Trevor Cahill and Texas eventually took a 4-2 lead with a two-run sixth inning. One of the runs would score thanks to a throwing error by Pennington, something he would more than atone for in the ninth.
Darvish was cruising until allowing a leadoff single to pinch-hitter Wil Nieves to lead off the eighth.
One out later, Gregorius stepped to the plate and Darvish missed with a pair of cut fastballs to fall behind 2-0.
"He'd been throwing me a lot of cutters almost the whole game so I was like, 'Well, I'm going to wait for a cutter right here,' because I knew he was going to throw another cutter," Gregorius said. "He threw the first two cutters in the dirt and then he threw me a third cutter. I was looking for a good pitch that I could hit a line drive, put good wood on it."
Said Darvish, "I had to get a strike in there, I didn't want a 3-0 count. I just tried to hit the corner but I missed and he hit well. "
It all added up to a doubleheader sweep of the team with the best record in the American League as the D-backs picked up a game and a half on the three teams directly behind them in the National League West standings.
"This team has great character," Gibson said. "I'm very proud of them tonight."

DAVID Cameron has come out in support of Worcestershire's £53 million cash injection - after admitting the nation has been "too London-focused".
The Prime Minister has insisted the county's Growth Fund deal will mean "real change for Worcestershire" by delivering on some key projects.
As your Worcester News revealed yesterday, it includes finally building Worcestershire Parkway rail station, part-dualling of the A4440 Southern Link Road and £700,000 on flooding protection for New Road.
The Government will give the county £47 million over the next five years, with £6 million being added to the kitty from European funding.
Mr Cameron says despite Worcestershire bidding for £280 million, he believes the deal is fair.
"For too long our economy has been too London-focused and too centralised," he said.
"This historic deal means real change for Worcestershire with plans including better transport links to help people get to work and businesses to grow.
"It will also mean investment in skills such as engineering apprenticeships to give young people the skills they need to get on and ensure businesses in the Worcestershire have the workforce they need to prosper.
"By trusting local people, backing business and investing in infrastructure, skills and housing, we can create thousands of new jobs.
"That means more economic security, peace of mind and a brighter future for hardworking people across Worcestershire."
His defence comes after your Worcester News revealed how only eight of the 50 projects proposed for funding by Worcestershire's Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) will get any funding by 2019.
Other projects to get cash includes Worcester Technology Park, an expansion of Malvern Hills Science Park and £800,000 on vocational training and apprenticeships for young people.
The LEP's strategy is a 10-year one worth £280 million, with more cash expected from 2020 onwards.
Worcester MP Robin Walker said: "Of course we'd all like more money, but as a result of the funding we do have it means things we've been talking about for 20 or 30 years will now happen.
"On that basis it gives me far greater confidence than before that Worcestershire will get a fair deal.
"Under the old Regional Development Agency system so much funding for this region would go to Birmingham, and rural money would end up getting sucked by Herefordshire and Shropshire, so we'd get stuck in the middle.
"This is the start of situations like that changing and with the funds we have got, a great deal of key things can now be achieved such as parkway."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With the VIX "fear index" still wallowing in the teens and the S&P 500 relentlessly making new highs, "complacency" has been the word most commonly thrown around this year to describe the stock market.
But there are signs creeping in that the market has been anything but complacent in recent weeks. Trading volume has been light, with the August lull being just partly to blame, and Treasury yields have declined to 52-week lows. Yields pierced 2.4% late Thursday night, after President Obama announced plants to go forward with an air strike in Iraq. The 10-year note was surging 11/32, driving the yield to 2.375% Friday without much help from the Federal Reserve as it continues to taper its bond-buying program.
The main reason volume has been so thin and Treasury yields are being pressured is investors have been de-risking from stocks and flowing out of junk bond funds and high-yield bond funds in search of safety. They want a place to hide right now. That correlation can be clearly seen in the chart above, which shows the inverse relationship of high-yield corporate bonds, tracked by the iShares iBoxx High-Yield Corporate Bond Fund (HYG), vs. the VIX.
The disruptive forces are bearing down from everywhere -- the friction between the West and Russia over Ukraine remains strong, with the Kremlin recently slapping one-year agricultural sanctions on Western nations. Tensions in Iraq have escalated to a point where rebels have seized the country's largest dam and the U.S. has begun limited bombing of militant targets to protect Americans and Iraqi citizens there. The Ebola scare and containment fears have led to flashbacks of the early 2000 SARS outbreaks and reminders of the bird flu.
It seems reasonable that geopolitical tensions could get worse from here or just not improve for a very long time, especially as it pertains to Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin's iron grip on his country and ability to steer it as he wishes on the world stage will continue to come at the expense of Western interests.
"Putin can ride out the storm a lot longer than any other politician in the world," said Luke Rahbari, chief risk officer at Stutland Volatility Group and a veteran options trader. "He can keep going at this for a while." With the sanctions, Europe's economy has become even more vulnerable lately, and that impact could bleed into the U.S. economy and elsewhere.
The flock to Treasuries is expected to intensify when the Fed abandons its role in driving the hunt for yield since 2008.

It is another change of tactics in a war that has been going on for 50 years. This week, consumer electronics companies led by Apple, HP, Sony, Panasonic and Research In Motion, broke off the latest round of talks to reform the Europe's convoluted system of private copy levies.
The copy levies are surcharges placed on devices such as MP3 players and printers by 22 European countries, to compensate writers, artists, and musicians for small amounts of personal copying of their material. It is not to be confused with illegal filesharing; the copy levies are intended to cover handfuls of copies in the private sphere, which many countries allow. Read more

Practice/Training Policies
All teams must have a practice chaperone of the same gender attend all practices.
At least one person on the team must have originally signed player registration forms for each player in attendance.
Use only the time and space assigned. In general, we've tried to allocate one-half a division's normally-sized field for practices. Cone off your half-field upon arrival.
We've also tried to group teams together in case they want to run a scrimmage towards the end of practice.
Do not share the field with any non-AYSO people. Only those teams/groups with permits for the specific time should be on the field. It's against our policies (and insurance) to allow others to play near us. We pay to have exclusive use of these fields.
Be especially aware of possible baseball players at fields with baseball infields that can present a potentially dangerous situation.
If anyone is having problems with other sports, school teams, or other soccer teams, or adults, please notify your Division Commissioner and contact the park monitor.
Grass Fields contact: Park Rangers
Non-Emergency Police Number
A copy of our field permit is typically kept in the storage unit of fields where we have games and accessible online by Division Commissioners.
As on game days, as a condition of our field permit with the city, no animals, no smoking nor alcohol are allowed at our activities, regardless of the normal park rules. Nothing but water is allowed on artificial turf fields.
Please be sure to finish your practice on time - both coaches & parents should be respectful of the schedule for the benefit of both their fellow teammates/volunteers & other users of the parks.
Maximum practice lengths are as follows, field space permitting:
U7 & U8: 60 minutes
U10: 90 minutes
U12: 105-120 minutes
U14, U16, & U19: 120 minutes
In case of rain or lightning during a practice, please refer to the Rain & Lightning Procedures.

MORE than 400 women have signed up for this year's Wirral Race For Life in aid of Cancer Research UK.
The Globe-backed event will be held in Birkenhead Park on Sunday, July 27.
Last year, 3443 women took part and raised a fantastic £153,104. Its organisers need 3600 women and girls to stride out this time around to help raise £350,000.
Jennifer Ward, Cancer Research UK's North West events manager, said: "Race for Life events are not competitive. They are not about being fit or fast.
"Instead, they are an amazing way to celebrate life but also remember those who have been lost to the disease.
"Participants may be walking, jogging or running but what's inescapable is the power and strength that comes from thousands of women joining together to confront cancer."
Wirral nurse Julie Lloyd, who lost her mum and mother-in-law to cancer, took part last year.
She is unable to run this time around because of a back injury, but will shout encouragement from the sidelines on the day, and is urging mums, daughters, sisters and friends to register for the event.
She said: "Cancer has been very prominent throughout my life.
"I have lost family members and friends to the disease and as a community nurse I have supported and nursed lots of patients with cancer.
"Taking part in Race for Life was my way of fighting back against cancer for taking both my mum and mother-in-law.
"It was an incredibly emotional event, but I know they would have been proud of me and that by taking part I was able to help other families have more precious time with their loved ones."

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
There is more data available than ever, which, in many ways makes it more difficult for sales and marketing professionals to find the data they need to pinpoint the companies that have a high propensity to buy their product or services. A 2012 report by Aberdeen Group found that salespeople, on average, spend 200 hours of non-productive time annually searching for customer data. This lack of insight into business behavior has led to a decline in the efficiency and effectiveness of B2B sales and marketing.
Increasingly, B2B companies are taking a cue from the B2C world and using business behavior data to help marketing with prospecting – specifically qualifying leads. But it begs the question, what is business behavior?
Consider the insights the B2C world has been collecting for decades. B2C companies have been tracking consumer behavior – with every swipe of a credit card or click on an ad, B2C companies are gathering data so they can predict what you're likely to buy – and when you'll buy it. These consumer behavior patterns are analyzed to help B2C companies improve their product development decisions, marketing campaigns and sales outcomes.
Consider the purchase of a mini-van – it often signifies a major life event. The consumer will most likely be in the market for baby-related items, such as a crib, diapers, baby clothes, etc. Armed with this information, many B2C companies send targeted advertisements that are in line with this upcoming "life event." The same approach is applicable in the B2B arena. If an existing customer increases its operational spend and purchases additional trucks, you could reasonably assume that business is doing well and the company might expand its business. Conversely, if a company decreases operational and material spending it might indicate business is struggling. Knowing the specific details of events going on with customers and prospects helps companies to determine which companies represent an opportunity or a risk.
Business behavior data – what companies buy, how they pay, where they invest, when and how they hire, and how their behavior changes over time tracked across multiple data sources – can be used to help sales and marketing professionals better target the right customer at the right time.
What to Look For
Here are some examples of how B2B sales and marketing professionals can use business behavior data to improve the effectiveness of their efforts and avoid risk, acquire and upsell current and prospective customers:
Risks: If an existing customer experiences a significant decline in spending and purchasing behavior, it could mean that you might not get paid. While the credit worthiness of the company may not reflect the company's declining performance, business behavior insights will alert you to these risks well in advance so that you can be sure to get paid. In addition, these insights can also be used to identify companies that you should avoid pursuing altogether.
Acquire: Using business behavior data allows a company to identify its ideal customers' "buyer DNA." By identifying its ideal customers' DNA (what they buy, how much of it they buy, geographic locations served, etc.), a company can easily find lookalike companies that share that same DNA and answer the all-important question: does this company have a high propensity to buy my product? Targeting companies that match your best customers' buyer DNA for a sales or marketing campaign is more efficient and valuable than basing it solely on demographic data like SIC or NAICS codes.
Upsell: Gaining visibility into an existing customer's behavior is enabling B2B companies to develop sales strategies that are based on information as to what the company is likely to do or need in the future. For example, if a B2B shipping services provider sees that one of its customers is buying more boxes or raw materials or is signing a lease on a new facility, it provides an advanced clue that the customer is most likely fulfilling more orders and will need more shipping services. This gives companies an advantage when serving its existing customer base.
Traditionally, B2B companies have relied on demographic, firmographic and credit data to profile, segment and target their current and prospective customers, but it hasn't provided a holistic view of customers and prospects. This leaves marketing and sales professionals needing more data to meet goals. Business behavior data helps fill in the gaps and provides insight into areas that were not available before.

LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Britain's 2008 Olympic road race champion Nicole Cooke retired from cycling on Monday with a parting shot at the drugs cheats who she said had "robbed" her.
"I do despair that the sport will ever clean itself up when rewards of stealing are greater than riding clean. If that remains the case, the temptation for those with no morals will always be too great," Cooke, 29, told the BBC.
"I have ridden through some of the darkest days of the sport in terms of corruption by the cheats and liars."
Cooke, who won gold in Beijing and took the world title in the same year, played a supporting role in the London Games as her rival Lizzie Armitstead took silver in the road race.
The 2002 Commonwealth Games champion spared no punches in her assessment of those who demeaned the sport by doping.
"Yes I have suffered as a result, in many ways, but so what? I am not alone, I am one representative of that group, those who do it right," she said.
"I have been robbed by drugs cheats but am fortunate, I am here with more in my basket than the 12-year-old dreamed of."
"But for many people out there who do ride clean, people with morals, many of these people have had to leave the sport with nothing after a lifetime of hard work - some going through horrific financial turmoil."
Cooke, who won a number of prestigious one-day races in Europe, said she had been offered drugs during her career in cycling.
"I have faced up to the temptations but have always remained true to the 12-year-old inside me.
"I have had days where temptation to start on to the slippery slope was brought in front of me. I said I would do my best until I had to drop out of the race, but I was not taking anything." (Writing by Justin Palmer; Editing by Clare Fallon)

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Continuing to make an impressive imprint within the community, the Saint Leo women's lacrosse team did their part in ensuring that research for childhood cancer continued as they participated in the inaugural Chick-Fil-A Fall Stampede 5K/Family Walk, last Saturday from Curtis Hixon Park.
A Saint Leo Student-Services initiative, the women's lacrosse team joined a host of other Saint Leo students, faculty, and staff in completing the 5K run. The race raised crucial money and awareness as researchers make on-going strides in finding a cure for multiple childhood cancers.
"It was great to see such a spirited Saint Leo community turnout, said head coach Lesley Graham. "We loved being able to be a part of it. We bonded as a team, and got to do so at an event that raises awareness and funds for such an important cause."
100 percent of donations went directly to the Children's Cancer Center, with funds going to advanced research, as well as essential programs to assist local families touched by the disease.

Experience of pain in childbirthEdit
Pain controlEdit
- Non pharmaceutical
Some women prefer to avoid analgesic medication during childbirth. They still can try to alleviate labor pain using psychological preparation, education, massage, hypnosis, or water therapy in a tub or shower. Some women like to have someone to support them during labor and birth, such as the father of the baby, the woman's mother, a sister, a close friend, a partner or a doula. Some women deliver in a squatting or crawling position in order to more effectively push during the second stage and so that gravity can aid the descent of the baby through the birth canal.
The human body also has a chemical response to pain, by releasing endorphins. Endorphins are present before, during, and immediately after childbirth.[1] Some homebirth advocates believe that this hormone can induce feelings of pleasure and euphoria during childbirth,[2] reducing the risk of maternal depression some weeks later.[1]
Water birth is an option chosen by some women for pain relief during labor and childbirth, and some studies have shown waterbirth in an uncomplicated pregnancy to reduce the need for analgesia, without evidence of increased risk to mother or newborn.[3] Hot water tubs are available in many hospitals and birthing centres.
Meditation and mind medicine techniques are also used for pain control during labour and delivery. These techniques are used in conjunction with progressive muscle relaxation and many other forms of relaxation for the mind and body to aid in pain control for women during childbirth. One such technique is the use of hypnosis in childbirth.
A new mode of analgesia is sterile water injection placed just underneath the skin in the most painful spots during labor. A control trial in Iran of 0.5mL injections was conducted with normal saline which revealed a statistical superiority with water over saline.[4]
- Pharmaceutical
Different measures for pain control have varying degrees of success and side effects to the woman and her baby. In some countries of Europe, doctors commonly prescribe inhaled nitrous oxide gas for pain control, especially as 50% nitrous oxide, 50% oxygen, known as Entonox; in the UK, midwives may use this gas without a doctor's prescription. Pethidine (with or without promethazine) may be used early in labour, as well as other opioids such as fentanyl, but if given too close to birth there is a risk of respiratory depression in the infant.
Popular medical pain control in hospitals include the regional anesthetics epidural blocks, and spinal anaesthesia. Epidural analgesia is a generally safe and effective method of relieving pain in labour, but is associated with longer labour, more operative intervention (particularly instrument delivery), and increases in cost.[5] One study found that the women receiving epidural analgesia had more fear before the administering of the epidural than those who did not receive it, but that they did not necessarily have more pain.[6] Medicine administered via epidural can cross the placenta and enter the bloodstream of the fetus.[7] Epidural analgesia has no statistically significant impact on the risk of caesarean section, and does not appear to have an immediate effect on neonatal status as determined by Apgar scores.[8]

10 Last-Minute Holiday Decor Ideas
No need to panic if you're not ready for the holidays. We have some great last-minute decorating tips and ideas to get your home looking festive!
No need to panic if you're not ready for the holidays. We have some great last-minute decorating tips and ideas to get your home looking festive!
Almost all of these ideas can be made using items you may have around the home and didn't even realize can be used as decor!
Try one of these 10 last-minute ways to spruce up your home in an instant and create a happening holiday atmosphere.
Group Gifts as Centerpieces
In a pinch for a holiday centerpiece? Wrap a few gifts and arrange them on the table, similar to how stores merchandise items in windows or on counters, to create a quick and easy display.
Dangle Bells on Knobs
Hang bells in offbeat places like cabinet knobs and hallway doorknobs to add a fun musical touch throughout your home.
Float Tea Lights in Red or Green Water
Arrange a set of identical drinking glasses along your dining table. Fill the glasses with water and use red and green food coloring to tint the water. Float tea lights in the water for a festive display.
Hang a Christmas Stocking on the Front Door
Didn't have a chance to pick up a fresh evergreen wreath for the front door? Hang a Christmas stocking on your front door to greet guests with a holiday flair. Use sticky tack on doors that you don't want to poke a hole into with a tack.
Complimentary Ornaments on Colored Glass Make an Instant Centerpiece
Rather than piling ornaments into a glass vase or bowl, think about the holiday platters and vessels in your cabinets. Red glass cakestands or bowls are an ideal base for trendy green ornaments. Keep balls on the plate by using glue dots or double-stick tape.
Accent Home Decor with Bows
A simple organza bow can perk up chair backs, a lamp base or many tabletop home decor items. Use a wide ribbon like the one in our photo for a grand accent or multiple layers of ribbons for a similar effect.
Create a Festive Aroma
Dust off your fondue pot and create a festive aroma in the living room by adding water, spices and cut fruit into the pot over a low flame. Make it decorative by using mini crab apples, cinnamon sticks, and clove-studded Clementine Mandarins.
Adorn Candles with Ornaments or Jewelery
One of the simplest ways to accent a pillar candle is by inserting a straight pin into its side and hanging an ornament on the pin using the hook or a ribbon. Or you can dangle an earring from the pin as well. Place the candle on a large decorative plate, such as a gold charger, and surround the base with mini ornaments.
Give Hand Towels a Seasonal Touch
Don't forget about the powder room! Layer complementary color hand towels on your bathroom counter and fold over the top edge to resemble a Christmas stocking. Attach a seasonal accent such as wired pinecones or a bow using a safety pin.
Make a Winter Display Using Salt and Branches
Create a beautiful winterscape by adding salt, to resemble snow, into clear glass containers and inserting sticks. Place the display on a fireplace mantle or ledge with overhead lighting to bring out the shadows on the top surface of the salt.
