The Best New Restaurants 2012
The Selby says: "I think this picture is a chef's fantasy — anyone who can cook sees this picture and feels something. It's the ultimate chef's table. You see the jungle coming in above him, this amazing fire, this incredible array of tropical fruits and vegetables. So you can really imagine yourself there. It's about endless possibilities."
The Selby says: "La Tete Dans Les Olives is a working shop, a pantry, and a restaurant. Cedric Casanova serves five people a night, and during the daytime, it's a little shop where they serve products from Sicily. It's a photograph about doing something that's really incredible and creative with the limited resources you have, and I think that that spirit is really important for the times we live in. Cedric was in the Cirque du Soleil as a slack rope walker and he's super-energetic and creative. It's an absurd concept to serve five people a night, but he does it for the passion of it."

About XGEVA
XGEVA is the first and only RANK Ligand inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that is indicated for the prevention of skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. XGEVA is not indicated for the prevention of SREs in patients with multiple myeloma. XGEVA is the first novel bone metastases treatment for patients with advanced cancer in nearly a decade. Delivered as an every four week 120 mg subcutaneous injection, XGEVA provides a unique option for urologists and oncologists to prevent SREs in patients with advanced cancer.
XGEVA is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to RANK Ligand, a protein essential for the formation, function and survival of osteoclasts (the cells that break down bone). XGEVA prevents RANK Ligand from activating its receptor, RANK, on the surface of osteoclasts, thereby decreasing bone destruction.
The clinical program for XGEVA spanned more than 50 tumor types in more than 5,700 patients. In clinical trials, XGEVA demonstrated a clinically meaningful improvement compared to the previous standard of care in preventing bone complications. XGEVA is also being investigated for the potential use to delay the onset of bone metastasis in advanced prostate cancer and adjuvant breast cancer.
Amgen has submitted marketing applications for XGEVA in the European Union, Australia, Canada and Switzerland. In Japan, Amgen is working with its licensing partner, Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited and a marketing application was submitted.
For more information on XGEVA, please visit www.XGEVA.com.
Denosumab is also marketed as Prolia® in other indications.
Important U.S. XGEVA Product Safety Information
XGEVA can cause severe hypocalcemia. Correct pre-existing hypocalcemia prior to XGEVA treatment. Monitor calcium levels and administer calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D as necessary. Advise patients to contact a healthcare professional for symptoms of hypocalcemia.
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) can occur in patients receiving XGEVA. Patients who are suspected of having or who develop ONJ while on XGEVA should receive care by a dentist or an oral surgeon. In these patients, extensive dental surgery to treat ONJ may exacerbate the condition.
The most common adverse reactions in patients receiving XGEVA were fatigue/asthenia, hypophosphatemia, and nausea. The most common serious adverse reaction in patients receiving XGEVA was dyspnea. The most common adverse reactions resulting in discontinuation of XGEVA were osteonecrosis and hypocalcemia. Please visit www.amgen.com for full prescribing information.
About Vectibix
Vectibix is the first fully human anti-EGFR antibody approved by the FDA for the treatment of mCRC. Vectibix was approved in the U.S. in September 2006 as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with EGFR-expressing mCRC after disease progression on or following fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy regimens.
The effectiveness of Vectibix as a single agent for the treatment of EGFR-expressing mCRC is based on progression-free survival. Currently no data are available that demonstrate an improvement in disease-related symptoms or increased survival with Vectibix.
Retrospective subset analyses of mCRC trials have not shown a treatment benefit for Vectibix in patients whose tumors had KRAS mutations in codon 12 or 13. Use of Vectibix is not recommended for the treatment of colorectal cancer with these mutations.
In December 2007, the European Medicine Agency (EMA) granted a conditional marketing authorization for Vectibix as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with EGFR-expressing mCRC with non-mutated (wild-type) KRAS after failure of fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy regimens. Vectibix has been launched in more than 30 European Union countries, Russia, Israel, Switzerland, Australia, Canada and Japan.
Applications in the rest of the world are pending.
Important U.S. Vectibix Product Safety Information
WARNING: DERMATOLOGIC TOXICITY and INFUSION REACTIONS
Dermatologic Toxicity: Dermatologic toxicities occurred in 89 percent of patients and were severe (NCI-CTC grade 3 or higher) in 12 percent of patients receiving Vectibix monotherapy. [See Dosage and Administration (2.1), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Infusion Reactions: Severe infusion reactions occurred in approximately 1 percent of patients. Fatal infusion reactions occurred in postmarketing experience [See Dosage and Administration (2.1), Warnings and Precautions (5.2), and Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.3)].
The most common adverse events of Vectibix are skin rash with variable presentations, hypomagnesemia, paronychia, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea, including diarrhea resulting in dehydration.
Important European Vectibix Product Safety Information
For full prescribing information please see the Summary of Product Characteristics.
Vectibix is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with EGFR-expressing, metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) with nonmutated (wild-type) KRAS after failure of fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy regimens.
Vectibix is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions to the product and in patients with interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis.
Other common adverse events of special importance associated with Vectibix and/or EGFR monoclonal antibody therapies include dermatologic-related reactions, pulmonary complications, electrolyte disturbances and infusion-related reactions (including rare reports with fatal outcome). These events should be monitored carefully, see Summary of Product Characteristics for information on appropriate management of these adverse events. Acute renal failure has been observed in patients who develop severe diarrhoea and dehydration.
Vectibix should not be used in combination with IFL [bolus 5-fluorouracil (500 mg/m2), leucovorin (20 mg/m2) and irinotecan (125 mg/m2)] or in combination with bevacizumab containing chemotherapy.
Vectibix should not be administered in combination with oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy to mCRC patients with mutant KRAS tumours or for whom KRAS tumour status is unknown.
About Aranesp
Aranesp was approved by the FDA in 2001 for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure (CRF) for patients on dialysis and patients not on dialysis. The European Commission granted marketing authorization for the same indication in 2001 and subsequently updated it for CRF patients with symptomatic anemia in 2008.
In 2002, the FDA approved Aranesp for the treatment of anemia caused by concomitantly administered chemotherapy in patients with nonmyeloid malignancies.
The European Commission authorized the treatment of anemia caused by concomitantly administered chemotherapy in patients with non-haematological malignancies in 2002 and extended it to include non-myeloid malignancies in patients receiving chemotherapy in 2003.
Important U.S. Aranesp Product Safety Information
Aranesp is indicated for the treatment of anemia due to the effect of concomitantly administered chemotherapy based on studies that have shown a reduction in the need for red blood cell transfusions in patients with metastatic, non-myeloid malignancies. Studies to determine whether Aranesp increases mortality or decreases progression-free/recurrence-free survival are ongoing.
Important European Aranesp Product Safety Information
For full prescribing information please see the Summary of Product Characteristics.
Aranesp is indicated for treatment of symptomatic anaemia in adult cancer patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving chemotherapy.
Aranesp is contraindicated in patients with poorly controlled hypertension.
Controlled clinical trials have not shown significant benefits attributable to the administration of epoetins when haemoglobin concentration is increased beyond the level necessary to control symptoms of anaemia and to avoid blood transfusion.
In controlled clinical studies, use of Aranesp and other ESAs have shown:
In some clinical situations blood transfusion should be the preferred treatment for the management of anaemia in patients with cancer. The decision to administer recombinant erythropoietins should be based on a benefit-risk assessment with the participation of the individual patient, which should take into account the specific clinical context. Factors that should be considered in this assessment should include the type of tumour and its stage; the degree of anaemia; life-expectancy; the environment in which the patient is being treated; and patient preference.
In patients with solid tumours or lymphoproliferative malignancies, if Hb >12 g/dL, the dose should be reduced/held to minimise the potential risk of thromboembolic events.
Discontinue use after the end of chemotherapy.

A9 TV, 4 September 2011
The signs leading to faith are crucial for the whole Islamic world. Bediüzzaman revealed that 80-90 years ago; he described it most excellently and convinced a whole mass of people on the subject, masha'Allah. In the past people used to be told only how to pray, or how to fast. But do you ask whether someone has faith? No. Do you enquire what kind of faith in Allah he has? No. Does he believe in the hereafter, in paradise and hell, in the scriptures, in the prophets of the past and in angels and djinn? How can someone who knows his faith is weak concentrate on things like how to perform the night namaz, the details of the prayer between night and morning or the fine points of ritual ablution without looking at these first? Someone may have weak, or no faith. They abandon prayer. He is unwilling to get up in the morning to pray. "I am tired," he says. "I will do it this afternoon." They invent that kind of formulae for themselves. That is why the signs leading to faith are so vital and important.
(About the Harun Yahya messages on London busses saying "God exists.")
Masha'Allah. The nation's eyes and hearts have opened up. A response to the dajjal [antichrist] in his own country. The dajjal came from there, Darwin. He is finally being refuted after 100 years, insha'Allah. We have obtained excellent results, insha'Allah.
Masha'Allah. Allah has created this. I am just a helpless, weak and wretched servant of Allah. But nobody preaches the word to greater perfection than we do. If there is anyone better, they should say that "so and so is better." I will then go and kiss the soles of his feet. I will first kiss the soles of his feet, and then his socks. No, alhamdulillah, we are the only one. Thanks be to Allah. And we are Muslims' pride and pivot. The sharp sword of knowledge. By Allah's leave, once Muslims draw that sword they totally annihilate disbelief, using knowledge and learning. Even those most opposed to me secretly read my books. Even those most unlike me use my books to preach with. Otherwise there is nothing they can do. How else can they do anything? The people in front of them are materialists and Darwinists. What answer is he supposed to give? The other person does not believe in Allah. So read about it from Harun Yahya first. And once they say, "Read," the matter is finished.
There is no reincarnation in the Qur'an. Allah says there is no return. That a screen comes down and they can no longer return. And what logic could there be to reincarnation? A person is tested now. How can there be reincarnation when he is being tested? For example, let us imagine I do something as a child. I try to do better. I try to do it better when I am 20 and 30. I gain experience. Because there is a rise in knowledge and experience. But in reincarnation they say, "You were a man in India, and now you have been reborn in this body." We ask, "How do you know?" and the other person says, "I vaguely remember it." In order for that to be of any use, all that man's memories would also have to enter the new body. Then one could acquire experience and grow by acquiring new experiences. But since they are all gone they say, "I cannot remember anything." Since there can be no new growth, since one cannot expect any moral improvement or superiority, and since no experience is acquired, what is the point? "My soul will be perfected," they say. But how can the soul be perfected if no new knowledge or experience is acquired? Reincarnation is therefore totally illogical. A hollow belief. I talked this over with the Knights Templar who came here and convinced some of them. It is illogical.
(About Hazrat Khidr (as) Being Involved in the Events of September 11)
The logic of Hazrat Khidr (as) and that of ordinary people are not the same. They are very different. Hazrat Khidr (as) makes very fine calculations. He throws a stone into the water. The ripples reach the shore and pull an insect back into the water. A frog in the water catches the insect. The frog makes a leap to do so, and frightens a horse. He has the most amazing systems. Hazrat Khidr (as) makes plans in chain form, by Allah's leave. September 11 is also an event that led to a powerful growth in both Islam and religious belief. There has been a huge rise in religious belief. And a huge turning toward Islam. He led to the invasion of Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq. The invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq is a portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as)? Hazrat Khidr (as) read it in the book, didn't he? It is in the hadiths. Let me say that Hazrat Khidr (as) makes highly detailed plans. He has also made a very fine plan for Libya and in Egypt. He is making a highly detailed plan for Turkey. He shapes politics and directs armies and events. I said that the truth of the matter is that they placed an atom bomb in those buildings. They set up a similar arrangement. But it is not an atom bomb in the sense we are familiar with. It is the kind of bomb used in the destruction of the people of Lot. The same bomb was used there, too. Someone put the bomb in the bottom of the building. It is something that results from the combination of two very simple substances. It is something people would never think of. When they arrive there, they say, "We will destroy whoever is in there. You must leave early in the morning." The Prophet Abraham (as) says, "Lot (as) is there." "We know all about it, so relax," they say. "Only his wife will be one of those left. Nobody must look back," they say. In other words, this bomb or weapon or substance has a different impact. I don't know whether any further detail is required.
For example, Azerbaijan was invaded. That is in the hadiths. What happened when Azerbaijan was invaded? Azerbaijan became very religious. It embarked on a desire to unite with Turkey. What happened in Turkey when PKK terror declined? There was a huge tendency toward Turkish-Islamic Union and a turning to Islam and the Qur'an. What happened in Bosnia after the slaughter? The entire region became Muslim and highly devout. Was there any such thing before? No. Hazrat Khidr (as) is involved in all these things. He shapes events, with wisdom and a purpose. He directs and designs the course of history. By Allah's will. Hazrat Khidr (as) is a writer of history. He produces history and is an instrument in it. He is again shaping history now. He is clearing the way for Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Jesus the Messiah (as) and is directing the course of history. That is his duty. Then he will clear the way for the Day of Reckoning and directing its course. He will withdraw at the final moment of the Reckoning, because his work will be finished. If you ask Hazrat Khidr (as), he will regard his activities as perfectly normal. But they seem wondrous to us, relative, in other words. For example, Jesus the Messiah (as) will regard himself as an ordinary Muslim. If we speak with Hazrat Mahdi (as), he will believe that he is just a sinful servant of Allah. He will have no great majesty. They also possess the chacateristics of Hazrat Khidr (as). They will also direct the course of history, with Allah's encouragement. And each one is a student of Hazrat Khidr (as). In the same way that the Prophet Moses (as) was a student of Hazrat Khidr (as). Hazrat Mahdi (as) is also a student of Hazrat Khidr, and Jesus the Messiah is his student, too.
We are saying, "The freemasons demolished the building." Looking beneath the surface of events we come across Hazrat Khidr (as). Go a bit deeper and you come across angels. Then there is the unsullied power of Allah. We relate the natural cause in a line of progression. In other words, they have all come about for the best. They are not inauspicious. Rasulullah (saas) speaks of a "corruption of dust and smoke." That is inescapable. It is Hazrat Khidr (as) who is at work. He will shape the course of and make history. That is destined. For example, our Prophet (saas) saw what Hazrat Khidr (as) would do in his own time. He describes things to be done by Hazrat Khidr (as), 1400 years beforehand. He described them because he was outside time. He steps outside time. The atom bomb used was not the classic kind we are familiar with. "A cry was enough," Allah says in several places in the Qur'an. Angels will come to the region and say "Salamun Alaykum. We are here. We are at work." "You must leave, and so and so. They can remain behind. There is nothing wrong with that," they say. They generally use the morning. When it is getting light. That is the time when Hazrat Khidr (as) and the angels come to them. Hazrat Khidr (as) also has other features. You would be amazed by them. And, by Allah's leave, events that appear very complicated due to the chain of natural events but that are really very simple also come about.
The issue lies in the atom bomb, doesn't it? A reaction takes place when two substances react. There are similar systems in the world. But people are unaware of them. I mean that science has not yet discovered them. And it cannot do so, by Allah's will. Very simple systems. There are the technologies used in the times of the Prophet Moses (as) and the Prophet Solomon (as), for instance. For example, electricity was widely used in Pharaoh's time. Building technology was widely employed in the palaces. They used a laser-like system to cut stone and metal. But we do not know how. In other words, there is very vague information. What we can establish now is that this substance inside a thick block of lead. They also speak of a green stone placed inside the lead in granule form. A green, light-emitting rock. We do not know what it was. I will write a book about in and set out the details in due course, insha'Allah. These things can be established from here and there as one looks at history. When one looks at photographs from the time, photographs of those rocks and reliefs, for example, we can see some of these things.
Global Publishing, the firm known as Global that seels these books, is a company well known to me and set up by our Muslim brothers for Allah's approval. It is not a company established for profit-making purposes. It is a firm established to produce and sell books at cost. Its owners are also well known to us. They are humble and devout people who act solely for Allah's approval. I would not allow it if they had profit-making motives. I guarantee that. I stand as surety for Global Publishing. They engage in most excellent activities. The books they produce are excellent and superbly printed. They also distribute them. May Allah preserve them. They genuinely make no profits. I know that. Their proceeds merely go to meet ink and paper and printing costs. That is how I signed up with them. And that is how they are still working, insha'Allah.
(An answer to the question "Since Allah knows the future and determines destiny, why did He create satan?")
Allah does not like to be alone.He wants there to be conscious entities and human beings. He wants entities that appreciate Him and His creations, that are good and know all things and that are pleased with Him. But when human beings are created directly… You know He created the Prophet Adam (as) and Hazrat Eve (as) in paradise. That desired excitement, depth and submission do not form. Hazrat Adam (as) was a great prophet, but those things did not come about. But in the face of satan, earthly desires and hell, then human beings acquire a wonderful depth. Everything acquires a significance after that. A cup has a significance, and a mug, and life acquires a wondrous richness, and beauty acquires significance. There is no testing without satan. And without testing, the meaning of life largely fades away. In other words, it becomes unclear. Imagine a plain white wall, nothing else. That is where you end up. For instance, why do we like this cup? We like it in comparison to other cups. The only reason is that comparison. This pen of mine is attractive. Why? Because we compare it to other pens. Otherwise we would think it very ordinary. But it becomes a blessing when compared to other objects.
For example, what could we strive against in the absence of satan? We need to strive. Maybe I could not preach like this without satan. These things need to be described because of the existence of earthly desires and satan. When these things are described, one becomes a follower of Hazrat Mahdi (as), and that is delightful. There is an excitement, and you become brave and passionate, don't you? You smash disbelief with your mind and ideas. That is a delight, a beauty and real excitement. But without those you destroy the beauty and excitement of life. Allah creates satan, and earthly desires and the dajjal in order to add excitement to life. He creates Hazrat Mahdi (as) against the dajjal. He sends back Jesus the Messiah and creates Hazrat Khidr (as). Allah gives rise to events. The result is excitement and beauty. Life acquires meaning. Monotony and dullness are eliminated. There are the angels, for instance. Allah loves human beings with faitfulness much more than the angels. An angel is not enough for Allah. He wants human beings. Allah greatly prefers human beings. Because they strive against satan and earthly desires and have faith in Allah without seeing Him. Allah much loves this aspect of human beings, of human beings with piety. For example, Allah tells our Prophet (saas) that He created the universe from his light. He loves our Prophet (saas) very much. Allah refers to the Prophet Abraham (as) as "Khalil al-Allah, My Khalil", meaning 'Friend of Allah'. He also loves him very much. Allah delights in beauty. He loves all beauty. He loves attractive people and lovely views. He loves attractive speech and wants us to delight in all these. He loves them Himself. But we are of course weak. There is no weakness in Allah. For example, Allah sends His verses in a musical, majestic and harmonious form. If He wished, He could send them in a completely bland form. There might be no harmony. He might just have written them article by article. Allah produces Abu Lahab and Abu Jahil for our Prophet (saas) to strive against. Allah inflicts Hazrat Wahshi on Hazrat Hamza. He causes him to be martyred. It is also Almighty Allah Who causes Hazrat Wahshi to eat his liver. A fervent spirit of zeal arises among Muslims then. Hazrat Hamza feels no pain, as he is in paradise. There is no pain of martyrdom. He feels nothing at all. His soul has long since been taken. The aim there is to give rise to a feeling of zeal among Muslims. For example, Allah had Afghanistan invaded, in order to inspire feelings of zeal. He had Iraq invaded. It is also Allah Who allows children to be hungry and wretched. It is also Allah Who creates them. And feelings of zeal arise in us. Otherwise no child would suffer. A martyred child would feel nothing. But Allah shows us these things in our minds, to test us. We cannot know their state in the outside world. That is between them and Allah. But you must know that no innocent entity will suffer in any way. But that is how Allah shows it to us in our brains. In order to encourage and excite us and to hold us to account. "Allah does not oppress people," says Allah in one verse. That is impossible. He may appear to die in agony; but he does not really suffer. His soul has long since been taken. There is a verse that says that Allah places no greater burden on any person than he can bear.
I am 55 years old. I cannot remember any burden I was unable to bear. They put me in a mental hospital, for example, among the most crazed lunatics. I thought of the verse, and I was not distressed at all. I was perfectly comfortable there. They put me in a ward with mad people in the hospital. I was perfectly comfortable there, too. Nothing happened. Everyone where I was held had killed someone. They brought people who had killed while in prison to that ward. They were all around me. But I made friends with them and talked to them. The prison colonel even said "I am sending them all to the master." In other words, the people on my ward were people who had killed many times over; not just one or two, either, it was full of them. "They have become unable to even hurt a fly and filled with love alongside the master," he used to say, insha'Allah. You can ask. The colonel is still around. He is young. The prison colonel used to tell everyone. These are part of the test. It is Allah Who creates them. Fights start over nothing in prison, anything can happen. But nothing did. For example, the mental patients broke down my door and they killed seven people during my time there. But nothing happened to me, alhamdulillah. I was not even uneasy. I was perfectly relaxed. Allah makes difficult conditions pleasant. The lunatics there thought I was a doctor. They were astonished. Wondering what I was doing there. Most of them were on another planet, shouting and screaming. They were unaware of how to meet their natural needs. But I lived quite comnfortably there. Doctors and nurses used to appear and they would be amazed. That stems from the frightening atmosphere in the place. Why does this all happen? The test, so one can have a fine pass. I have always encountered difficulties right from childhood, alhamdulillah, and that has strengthened and honed me. Otherwise, who knows how I might have turned out? One stops growing. These difficulties are also the reason why I am so joyful and full of love. They are instrumental in one thinking deeply, becoming a person who reflects deeply. Allah likes such things. And finally, He bestows paradise as a reward and causes one to live there for all time. Only then can paradise seem delightful. The other way, one will not enjoy it at all, paradise. If you put someone into one of the masions of paradise he will look around baffled if Allah so wishes. He will not appreciate the foods in paradise. But if he has suffered troubles here, and difficulties, if he has fought against satan and the dajjal and his own earthly desires, then they acquire a huge significance. Even a small in paradise will amaze one. Allah speaks of an "fine silk and rich brocade" worked with fine pearl. But one needs a profound soul and mind to appreciate such fine work. Otherwise, one will not even see it. Someone who is unable to see the details in insects, ants or the cell here on earth will be unable to see the details in paradise. We look at a bee in this world and it takes our breath away. So our breath will be taken away when we see a bee of paradise, insha'Allah. There are animals there, too. No animals are missing from there, they are all there in the Presence of Allah. Not one will cease to exist until the end of time. When we ask it of Allah, Allah will produce whichever one we wish for us. A cat or dog or horse, whatever one loves. Not even an insect will cease to exist in any way. It is impossible for anything that has once existed in the Sight of Allah to cease existing thereafter. May Allah forbid, He Himself would have to cease to exist for that to happen. And since it is impossible for Allah to cease to exist, they cannot do so, either.
Surat al-Alaq,
"Recite: In the Name of your Lord Who created,
created man from clots of blood.
Recite: And your Lord is the Most Generous,
He Who taught by the pen,
taught man what he did not know.
No indeed! Truly man is unbridled
seeing himself as self-sufficient."
"…seeing himself as self-sufficient"it says.
"Truly it is to your Lord that you will return.
Have you seen him who prevents
a servant when he goes to pray?"
To prevent him reading the Qur'an or praying or meeting with other Muslims. They are all covered by this, insha'Allah.
"Do you think he is rightly guided
or enjoins righteousness?"
If he serves Islam and the Qur'an and strives for Allah's approval.
If he tells people to be the best they can and seek the best for Allah's approval.
"Or do you see how he has denied and turned away?"
He who denies the sufficiency of the Qur'an and turns his back on Muslims.
"Does he not know that Allah sees?"
Pagans do not realize that Allah sees. They act according to their own lights. They would not do that if they knew that He sees.
"No indeed! If he does not desist, We will grab him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock."
Allah says that He will seize him, even if he is wearing a turban or anything, insha'Allah. If he has a head covering, He will seize him by that.
"Let him call his attendants."
"Let him call on his community, people, brothers or anyone" says Almighty Allah.
"We will call the Guards of Hell,"
In His words, do not allow him to prevent you. Do not submit to his refusal to allow you to read or discuss the Qur'an, to pray or to speak with other Muslims.
"No indeed! Do not obey him, but prostrate and draw near."
You must continue to pray and strive to serve Islam and the Qur'an. "…and draw near" says Almighty Allah.
"Truly, Man is unbridled."
Bediüzzaman says this here; "it refers to the person of the dajjal and his sorcery and to his attacking the believers." It refers to the way of the dajjal. The abjad [numerological] value of this verse gives the date of the death of Darwin. This is how Bediüzzaman interprets this verse, "Truly, Man is unbridled." "It refers to him since Darwinism and materialism are opposed to people of faith, since he produces materialist, Darwinist and Leninist thinking against people of faith, together with an aggressive ideology."
Surat al-Fatiha,
This was revealed in Mecca and consists of seven verses.
"Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds."
Look, the Lord of the Worlds. That means there is more than one world. Not just the Earth, the Milky Way and the world we see.
"the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful,"
He is always protective and loving, and always does good for people.
"The King of the Day of Judgment." That means the Day of Reckoning, and the dominion of Islam, insha'Allah. Allah is the Lord of the Day of Reckoning and He Who brings it into being.
"You alone we worship,"
With no polytheism or bigotry. There can be no polytheism for the global dominion of Islam. Does fanaticism consist of worship of Allah alone? No. No, under bigotry people worship all kinds of nonsense. They worship the sources of nonsense. What does the verse say? "You alone we worship. You alone we ask for help."
Not from anyone else. Only from Allah. Almighty Allah does not seek the help of the superstitious.
"Guide us on the Straight Path,"
On the path of the Qur'an, the life of a Companion.
"the Path of those You have blessed,"
Whom has Almighty Allah blessed? People like Imam Rabbani, Abdulkadir Geylani and the 12 imams.
"not of those with anger on them, nor of the misguided."Not to the path of Darwinists, materialists, atheists and bigots. Because these have been punished and have strayed. Allah has punished them, and they have gone wrong. Not to the path of the dajjal. Surat al-Fatiha refers to both the way of the Mahdi and the way of the dajjal here.
We must seek shelter in Allah as we read these verses. One characteristic of satan is that he causes one to forget. But that effect vanishes the moment one remembers Allah. The dajjal detests the Qur'an. The believer is a huge admirer of the Qur'an. Hypocrites and hypocrisy may appear to espouse the Qur'an on the surface. But they do not want people to read the Qur'an.
Surat al-Fatiha is one that harbors many secrets. Bediüzzaman estimated from Surat al-Fatiha, using abjad, how long the activities of the followers of the Nur would last and thus produced a date for the Day of Reckoning from the Surah and also from the hadiths of our Prophet (saas).
Fanaticism is a huge threat. It spreads like filth and germs. It is amazing how it ruins lovely people. It turns their hands and faces into those of monkeys. Fanaticism takes away their humanity. You may as well throw acid into their faces. They both ruin people. That is why the whole world trembles in the face of fanaticism. It is a terrible scourge. Fanatics are utterly ruthless. For one thing it causes corruption. Someone who falls into that filth inevitably becomes immoral. He becomes gossipy. He spread slander and corruption. He becomes loveless and full of hate. He cunningly commits crimes. He no longer loves anyone. These immoral types first become inimical to Allah. Then to the Prophet (saas). Then these vile types invent a religion all their own. They encourage others to follow it. But they do not follow it themselves. Fanaticism is that kind of devilish trickery. It is satan's filth. It ruins the world. It is one of the two horns of satan. One is Darwinist thinking and communism, and the other is fanaticism. Bigotry is the filth of satan. Satan is ruining and devastating the world with these two weapons of his, these two horns on his head. He is also ruining the Jews. There are Jewish bigots, too. And Christian bigots. He ruins them, as well as Muslim bigots. It was the fanatical spirit set up by satan that brought down the Ottoman Empire. He entered the Ottoman Empire through Darwinism and bigotry. That tore down the whole mighty Ottoman Empire. He drowned the Ottoman Empire in those two pools; fanaticism and Darwinist, materialist thinking. They were crushed between satan's two horns. What is the Mahdi doing? He is using knowledge to tear out those two horns of satan's. And as a follower of the Mahdi I am striving to break those horns with ideas, scholarship and science. These people are full of hate. But Muslims are excellent people, and full of love.
May Allah inflict no troubles on Azerbaijan, insha'Allah. Pray to the heads of state. "O Lord, inspire their hearts. Increase their faith. Lift the corruption of the bigots from them," you must say. "Noble Aliyev, we are with you. We are opposed to communism and Darwinism and bigotry. Let us purify the state together. Let us raise it to the finest level," you must say. What can he say to that? Simply, "May Allah be pleased." But if they blatantly try to impose bigotry then the state will automatically start to defend itself with violence, as a reflex action. Everyone will then suffer, may Allah forbid. It is very hard to distinguish between the true and false. Muslims will always defend the state. They will repair the state. The state will not be brought down. You must pray, and help and support it. You must protect the state. There are two ways of doing that, openly or in secret. The state is made up of the nation. It cannot be left to its own devices. The state is inseparable from the nation. You have to love and defend the nation for the state to survive. What can the state do if the nation opposes it? It will collapse, may Allah forbid. The state cannot be abandoned to satan and the dajjal. Or to the fanatics. Iblis and his path, the pagan and paganism and the hypocrite and hypocrisy all spread ruin and devastation. They are scourges. We will always support truth and the righteous. We will carry out repairs and support those who make repairs, insha'Alla.2011-10-14 22:48:00

Temperatures dropped into the 30s in parts of Orange County on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, but sunshine returns after the morning chill, the National Weather Service says.
A cold, dry mass of air over the region is bringing the low temperatures; the frost could form in areas protected by wind, and damage to some plants is possible.
High-pressure air over the western United States should push temperatures a little higher through Friday, with mostly sunny skies Thursday and Friday – though lows could again drop into the 30s Thursday night.
Highs should be 63 to 68 Thursday, 62 to 67 Friday.
Partly cloudy skies are expected to return Saturday as low pressure moves in along the coast, with highs in the 59 to 64 range.
The low brings a chance of rain Saturday night as skies grow mostly cloudy, and the same picture prevails Sunday, with highs of 57 to 62.
The chance of rain continues into Sunday night, and, forecasters say, rain becomes likely Monday, with highs about the same as Sunday's.
Christmas Day looks partly cloudy and 59 to 64.
Wednesday also is partly cloudy and 61 to 66.

With the addition of Steven G. Allen on October 18, 2016, NCSE's Project Steve attained its 1400th signatory.
NCSE is pleased to congratulate Jason R. Wiles on receiving the Evolution Education Award for 2016 from the National Association of Biology Teachers and the Excellence in Teaching Award for 2016 from the Association of College and University Biology Educators.
In a column published in the November 2016 issue of Scientific American, Steve Mirsky continues to relate his excursion through the Grand Canyon with NCSE.
A new survey from the Pew Research Center suggests, "Political fissures on climate issues extend far beyond beliefs about whether climate change is occurring and whether humans are playing a role ... These divisions reach across every dimension of the climate debate, down to people's basic trust in the motivations that drive climate scientists to conduct their research."

YORK police are appealing for information after a minor crash in the city.
A small silver car - around the size of a Fiesta - reversed out of a car park at the Woodman pub in Bishopthorpe and collided with a white VW Polo, but the driver left the scene without leaving any details.
It happened between 5.15-5.45pm on Monday, July 28.
PC Nicola Elliot said: "It may be that the driver of the silver car is unaware that a collision has taken place. If this is the case, I ask them to contact me so that I can take a statement from them.
"I would also ask anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward, as soon as possible, as they may have vital information which could help my enquiries."
PC Elliot added: "I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who works in a vehicle repair shop, who may have been asked to repair the body work of a small silver car around the date of the collision."
Contact York police on 101 and ask for Nicola Elliot, email email@example.com, or call call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111, quoting reference 12140129474.

Brown, Rudnick, Berlack, Israels LLP, through its Center for Public Interest, recently donated $25,000 to the MBA's 2008 Mock Trial Program. Brown Rudnick has been the exclusive financial underwriter of this program, contributing a quarter million dollars since 1998.
"Brown Rudnick's commitment is integral to enhancing our ability to provide thousands of our young citizens with an early introduction to the legal system," MBA Executive Director Marilyn J. Wellington, said.
The popular high school Mock Trial competition kicked off its 23rd year on Jan. 28. More than 15,000 students at more than 100 schools across the commonwealth are participating. At least 100 lawyers across the state will serve as volunteer coaches and judges.
Last year, Sharon High School won the state championship and placed seventh in the national tournament.
First organized in 1985, the tournament places high school students in a simulated courtroom to assume the roles of lawyers and witnesses in a hypothetical case.
"We are delighted to support MBA Mock Trial Program, which reaches every corner of the Bay State, enriching both high school students and their attorney coaches," said Al Wallis, executive director of the Brown Rudnick Center for the Public Interest.
For more information on the 2008 Mock Trial Program, or to volunteer to judge the final rounds of the competition, click here.

I could agree there are tons of creative music from vocaloid, however, that creative music comes from the fans, their creativity and their soul. Vocaloid is just a blank painting, it's the fans who paint over it and give it shape, maybe that's the essence of the fakeness of Miku Hatsune and half of the pop starts, they're just a product, and the art comes from a different source The main …

Saying Miku is Vocaloid is like saying a tree is a guitar, just because is the prime matter of a product doesn't mean the prime matter IS the product, you idiot Or are you forgetting Kaito, the Kagamine siblings and Luka? no matter, they are nobody, just the damn main "personas" of the damn program you apparently love so much
- CBS: Hatsune Miku "World's Fakest Pop Star":
8:42@ "So "Miku does not exist materialistically" was your argument all along? We all know that as a fact. She's virtual." That was the argument all along, but idiots are denying that simple fact and making up lame excuses to keep arguing just because they don't want to admit that she does in fact NOT exist That was the point all along, that she doesn't exist, that she is not real, and people just keep denying that simple truth, so yea, that was my argument, that was the blogger's argument, and …

This year's Eid al-Fitr prayer was performed as usual at Ala Too Square (where Statue of Lenin is), located in front of the Parliament building in Bishkek of Kyrgyzstan.
Emilbek Kaptagayev, Head of Presidential Administration, congratulates the citizens for Eid al-Fitr and expressed his wishes for peace and stability. Kaptagayev also emphasized that once upon a time, Kyrgyzstan had lived in peace that lasted for ages and said; "There are people living in Kirgizstan who are from other nations and faiths. The history gives our country a trial and the painful events happened in our country recently lead us to comprehend the value of peace and stability within society."

Suraiya's StoryTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
There used to live a Muslim woman in a small town of India. Her name was Suraiya. She was blind, deaf and voiceless. This meant that she couldn't see, hear or talk. Her husband suddenly died through an accident. Now, she needed to be told that her husband had died. How can this be done?
AnswerOne would come to Suraiya and break the bangles that she would be wearing on her hands. In India, there is a ritual that when a Muslim woman becomes a widow, she breaks her bangles.

Breaks and shifts in the genetic data in living things are described as mutation. These affect and damage the DNA in the cell nucleus. Every cause giving rise to mutation-generally, some form of chemical effects or particle emissions-is known as a mutagenic factor.
Substances such as mustard gas and nitric acid may be given as examples of chemical mutagenic factors. X-rays or the radiation leaking from a nuclear power station are examples of radioactive mutagenic effects. Particles emitted from a radioactive element can cause damage to DNA. When high-energy particles strike DNA bases, they alter their structure, and usually cause changes of such dimensions that the cell cannot repair them.

Getting locked out of a hotel room wearing only underwear…hanging from a tree and having your pants fall down…could these two things actually happen to the same person in the same year? Yes, if that person is Greg Heffley! That wimp can't catch a break. He gets deodorant, a travel dictionary and a laundry bag for Christmas. The cute girl at school does finally write in his yearbook, "I don't really know you all that well, but you seem O.K., I guess." Which isn't bad, until you read what she wrote in Greg's best friend Rowley's yearbook "You are so adorable & funny! I hope we have the same homeroom next Year. Stay cute!" Whew. It's tough being Greg! Author: Jeff Kinney

A WEST Somerset choir is celebrating after singing its way to the national selection for a prestigious UK contest.
Urban Voice were awarded 'Choir of the Day' when they took part in the Bristol leg of 'Choir of the Year' at Colston Hall on March 30.
They now have the chance to sing at the Royal Festival Hall in October in the category finals.
Competition came from the other best singing groups of the region as far afield as Wales and Teignmouth.
Urban Voice won after singing Karl Jenkins' 'Adiemus' and a special arrangement by their former musical director, Paul Doolan, of 'Hail Holy Queen'.
Ken Burton from the BBC's 'Sing While you Work' and Stephen Connolly, a former member of King's Singers, judged the competition.
Each choir was judged on its musicality, technical ability and overall performance.
The category finals will be held at London's Festival Hall on October 19 and following that, six choirs will make it through to the Grand Final at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall on December 7.
The competition is recorded and broadcast by the BBC in special Choir of the Year programmes on BBC Radio four and BBC Radio three.
Choir leader Steve Bray said: "We have won a couple of titles at local arts festivals but have never competed at this level before so we didn't really know how we'd do or how we would stand up to the other choirs.
"It is absolutely fantastic to have got through this first round and the whole experience has been absolutely amazing. I am so proud of Urban Voice."
The choir will be performing their summer concerts on Saturday, June 7, at the Hobby Horse in Minehead and Friday, June 13, at Porlock Village Hall.
Tickets will soon be on sale at the Regal Theatre in Minehead and the Porlock Visitor Centre.

So delicate and lovely.
This fragrance is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Lots of fresh, clean, flowery scents layered to create a really pleasant aroma. The cream is thick and really moisturizes, and leaves behind the scent nicely, not too strong, but it does have staying power. I can still smell it on my skin the next morning. Love this cream, keep it on my nightstand and use it every night before bed.

ORGANISERS of Bridgwater Flower Show say the standard of entries at this year's show was "extremely high".
Mayor and Mayoress Steve and Stella Austen opened the show at the town hall on Friday and returned on Saturday to present cups and trophies to the winners.
The event, which attracted 300 visitors, was sponsored by local businesses and also benefited from a £600 contribution from Bridgwater Town Council.
Cllr Austen said: "We were pleased to be asked to both sponsor a couple of the categories and to open the flower show and present the winners with their cups and shields this year; it is a magnificent event by local residents.
"The colours of the flowers and the size and quality of the vegetables along with the photographs, paintings and arts and crafts are inspiring. However there is always room for a few more entrants and hopefully the show will inspire other people to have a go."
Results will be in next week's Mercury.

A STUDENT at Richard Huish College has been named Higher Apprentice of the Year at the Somerset Apprenticeship Awards.
Patrick Millard increased sports participation by 20% during his three year apprenticeship as a sports coordinator and college sport maker at the Taunton college.
He completed a level three apprenticeship in sports development and then progressed to a higher apprenticeship in business and administration.
His qualification played a part in him getting into Avon and Somerset Police where he is training to be a police officer.
There was another reason to celebrate for Huish as Taunton and Somerset NHS Trust (Musgrove Park Hospital), which runs an apprenticeship scheme in partnership with the college, won Large Employer of the Year.
Huish had two other apprentices who were nominated for Advanced Apprentice of the Year while Christina Branfield, employed by Musgrove, scooped the Intermediate Apprentice of the Year Award (Level 2) at this year's South-West Healthcare Apprenticeship Awards.

Did you know?
Although the Kruger's bushveld camps are in very remote areas, day and night guided game drives are usually available.
You'll find the Kruger National Park's bushveld camps hidden away in some of the most remote wilderness areas of the park. There are only five of them. The remotest is Sirheni in the far north, and the southernmost is the beautiful little Biyamiti camp.
Between these two extremes is Bateleur, the oldest bushveld camp; Shimuwini, with its massive baobab trees; and Talamati, situated in a big open valley.
But all of these fenced bushveld camps offer something a little different, and all are individually memorable.
The camps are much smaller – usually about 15 cottages – than the busy main camps, more intimate and more expensive. But what you're paying for is peace and exclusivity when you arrive home from your exciting game drives. You won't find a camp shop, a pool or a restaurant, but what you will find is much more bush and far fewer people, because all these bushveld camps are strictly off-limits unless you are staying there.
Bateleur, named after the majestic eagle of the same name, is in the north, 40km southwest of Shingwedzi. Two small dams and a hide overlooking a waterhole will keep you ticking off your mammal and bird lists all day.
Biyamiti, in the south near Crocodile Bridge Gate, is noted for its abundance of game, including lion, rhino and elephant. Wild dog and cheetah sightings are also possible.
If you're a birder, head for Shimuwini, situated on a dam on the Letaba River. Giant baobab trees march along the banks. Look out for the dramatically handsome sable and roan antelopes, and the resident leopard.
There's also a resident leopard that prowls the dam in front of Sirheni camp, whilst at Talamati in the Kruger's central region, big herds of plains game roam the open grasslands, usually with predators in their wake.

Best time to visit
The Kruger National Park is wonderful at any time of year. Winter is best for game spotting because the vegetation is low and game has to come to water holes and permanent dams to drink. But in summer, the bush is lush and beautiful and there are lots of baby animals and scores of migrant birds.
Tours to do
Book a sunset guided game drive. You get the best of the sunset plus the excitement of a night drive by spotlight.
Get around
A 4x4 or van is the best option because you sit higher up, which makes it easier to spot game. Or book a guided game walk.
Length of stay
At least two nights, more if possible. Book well in advance, at least 11 months ahead if you want the best choice of accommodation.
What to pack
All your food and provisions as there is no shop nearby. Wood is available on site for your braai.
Best buys
Kruger National Park mammal and bird guides. These are more helpful and easier to use than one big field guide that tries to cover everything from beetles and snakes to birds and mammals.

San Clemente mixed solemnity and conviviality Saturday as veterans, residents and members of the city's "adopted" 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines from Camp Pendleton attended an observance of Veterans Day and the 237th anniversary of the Marine Corps.
Lt. Col. Robert Weiler, commander of the 2/4, addressed the audience, and Pete Jacobs and his Wartime Radio Revue performed big-band hits from the 1930s and '40s at Park Semper Fi, home of San Clemente's Marine Monument.
Later, the Dorothy Visser Senior Center hosted an anniversary ceremony for the Marines that included a birthday cake 2 feet long and a foot and a half wide.

Why did this occur? I also tried putting a semi-colon (;) after print('nice temp'), but it didn't work. How can I correct this? Thanks!

Fans cheer Canadian gold
Crowds flock to local establishments for 5 a.m. Olympic gold-medal game between Team Canada and Sweden
Monday, Feb 24, 2014 04:15 pm
Olympic fever swept through St. Albert�s watering holes on a frosty and thirsty Sunday morning as dozens of residents gathered to watch Canada�s men�s hockey team defend its Olympic gold medal against Sweden.
�It�s like the best day ever. It�s like Christmas,� said a beaming Chris Coward, wearing his Canadian colours while sipping on suds around a crowded table in the back corner of the Crown & Tower Pub.
The Inglewood Towne Centre fixture was among several St. Albert licensed establishments to open its doors to accommodate hockey-mad fans after the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission announced Friday that bars and restaurants in the province could serve drinks starting at 5 a.m. without having to make a special licensing application.
The outpouring of enthusiasm from Albertans after Canada downed the United States 1-0 in Friday�s semifinal prompted the AGLC to issue the special waiver.
It was a no-brainer for Troy Marchak, owner/operator of the Crown & Tower, to roll out the welcome mat for one of the most important hockey games in Canadian history.
�You�ve got to do it and here we are,� said the happy-looking Marchak, while surveying a sea of red and white Canadian jerseys occupying every table and seat in the pub, including the pool table.
�I�m three quarters capacity at 4:40 (in the morning). Go Canada!�
It was standing room only from wall to wall at puck drop, as servers skated through the congestion to fill orders from parched patrons. The lineup at the ATM was equally as long as the conga line of revellers in front of the bar waiting for their favourite beverage to be poured.
�This is awesome. I knew it was going to be busy but I didn�t think it was going to be this busy. We came here at 4:30 and it was packed already,� said Garrett Meek, a defensive lineman for the Saskatchewan Huskies who played for Team Canada at the recent International Bowl Series in Texas.
�This is a lot of fun. The Olympics always brings the best out of everyone and it�s awesome being Canadian when the Olympics are on too. Look around: guys have their faces painted, flags are worn as capes and just seeing all the red and white stuff makes me proud to be a Canadian for sure.�
Chris Youzwa was among a number of super fans dressed up for the gold-medal showdown.
�It�s really cool to do this. It makes me feel great, especially at this time of the day. It�s the best,� said the man in red. �I love my country. Hockey is No. 1. It�s the best sport. It�s going to be great when we take gold.�
Show of support
The outpouring of patriotic pride didn�t surprise Carson Cribb.
�Nowhere else would there be a bar in the world that is packed at four o�clock in the morning for a hockey game,� said Cribb, who was one of the lucky ones to get a prime seat location before the pub filled up faster than a Shea Weber slapshot.
�Everybody supports their country. They all love hockey. It�s a great way to watch the game.�
Cribb was joined at his exclusive table by Dan Wiun, an eager participant in the early Sunday morning festivities.
�You�ve got to show our support. It�s just cooler to watch the game around a bunch of people, especially being in a good environment here in our country,� said Wiun, a noted hitter in rep baseball with the St. Albert Cardinals.
Mike Croft was one of the lucky few to squeeze his way inside the pub only minutes before game time.
�It was be here or be square,� Croft said. �It just feels fantastic. I love the fact that there is so many people here. I was amazed to actually find a seat.�
Croft�s buddy, Tom Perry, joked that the last time he got up this early to watch a hockey game was when his son played.
�I�m feeling the pride,� said Perry with two full glasses of coffee and Bailey�s in front of him. �It�s very Canadian in here and I�m feeling extremely Canadian right now.�
It was party time when Canadian icon Don Cherry lit up the screen with a checker/scramble board of a suit filled with the letters C-A-N-A-D-A as the crowd roared its approval.
The din escalated for the opening face-off and reached ear-splitting levels when Jonathan Toews scored in the first period.
Patti Coward almost spilled her beer jumping off a bar stool on the goal by the Chicago Blackhawks� star.
�I�m very pumped,� said Coward with a smile as shiny as a gold medal. �I�m rooting for Canada because Jonathan Toews is playing. Toews is my maiden name.�
The joint was rocking when Sidney Crosby�s breakaway goal made it 2-0 in period two.
�It�s a pretty proud moment for everybody to be here to witness this. Everyone here is having fun. It�s good to see it packed too. It�s awesome,� said Taylor Fraser, an assistant coach for the junior B powerhouse St. Albert Merchants who was getting his game face on in preparation for the team�s playoff match that night against the Beverly Warriors.
Bedlam erupted when Chris Kunitz sealed the deal with 10:56 to play.
�Holy smokes! It doesn�t get any better than this!� shouted a jubilant Sterling Sware, who was high-fiving everyone in sight during the 3-0 goal celebration.
During the countdown to victory everybody got into the act during a heartfelt rendition of O Canada. The male and female mix of youth � many of whom looked like they pulled all-nighters before game time � and veteran clientele pulled it off like champions.
�This is absolutely crazy. I mean this place has been packed before 4:30 and it�s just amazing to be here with so many people who want to cheer on Team Canada,� said Chelsea Mills of the Morinville mixed slowpitch champions Booze on First, Second and Third.
�Half the women on my ball team are here and to party with them and celebrate a Team Canada gold medal, I mean you can�t beat it.�

Mike Heck published a review of LiveCycle ES2 titled "Adobe LiveCycle gives business apps a shot in the arm."
"The quality of the accelerators' coding and documentation was impressive. I installed and modified the eSubmissions Solution Accelerator, which lets users collect and approve PDF documents required for filing new drug applications with regulatory agencies. Since this accelerator bundles review, commenting, approval and ondemand building blocks, I estimate the development cycle was cut in half for a production-ready application."
Thanks Mike for the great feedback!

CHIPPENHAM Town chief Mark Collier insists revenge will not be on his mind when he side lock horns with Weymouth at Hardenhuish Park this weekend.
The Bluebirds slipped to a disappointing defeat to the Terras in Dorset last November, with Collier's men going down 4-1 in only the Chippenham manager's fourth game in charge.
But the Bluebirds boss says that bouncing back from last week's home 1-0 reverse at the hands of Arlesey Town will be the sole priority for his team on Saturday.
"We're not really thinking about revenge because the only thing that's important to us is getting a win on Saturday," said Collier.
"The defeat at Weymouth was one of our poorest performances – we started well but then were second best for 70 minutes of the game and made a lot of mistakes defensively.
"Weymouth are a big non-league club and they'll be coming to Chippenham Town thinking they can get all three points. It's up to us to make sure that doesn't happen.
"We're well aware of the position we find ourselves in but we are going through a period of transition.
"We want to start picking up some wins and moving up the table, and I'm comfortable that we will do that."
Chippenham were without a game last weekend and Tuesday night's rearranged trip to Hungerford Town will now take place on March 18 due to the Berkshire outfit's Red Insure Cup commitments.
Collier said: "Having another break is a bit of a shame because it stops you building up any momentum.
"But we're not alone in that and I'm sure that it won't be long until the games are coming thick and fast."
Bluebirds striker Tom Knighton left to join Bridgwater Town last week but Collier is satisfied with his attacking options.
"Ideally, we want four strikers competing for two positions but it's not just a numbers game – we're looking for quality not quantity," said Collier.
"We've got a number of options and Joe McClennan can also play in behind the strikers too.
"We're probably looking at potential signings for other positions, especially because strikers at this level cost the most money."
Injured midfielder Iain Harvey will miss this weekend's clash with Weymouth.

Microsoft's new Internet Explorer 10 web browser is set to arrive Oct. 26. Shortly thereafter, on Nov. 15, Google Apps will no longer support IE 8. The move will make Google one of the first major companies to drop support for Microsoft's 3-year-old browser.
That doesn't mean that Google Apps sites will suddenly stop working in IE 8 — users will see a message suggesting they upgrade to a newer release — but don't expect things to keep working in the long run.
The end of IE 8 support isn't a change from the normal Google Apps browser policy — which is to support the two most recent versions of each browser — but unlike dumping support for IE 6 and 7, dumping IE 8 effectively means Google Apps no longer supports Internet Explorer on Windows XP.
The problem for XP users — which, according to NetMarketShare still comprise roughly 39 percent of Windows users worldwide — is that upgrading to IE 9 also requires upgrading to a newer OS release.
Microsoft never released a version of IE 9 for Windows XP, so the only real upgrade path for those that want to stick with Windows XP (and continue using Google Apps) is either to install a different web browser or use Google Chrome Frame.
There is of course one other option — dump Google Apps. Google, however, doesn't seem worried that Windows XP users are going to abandon Google Apps in droves.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.
