Jet City Improv Starts 2013 With a New Feature Show, AUSTEN TRANSLATION
Start the New Year off elegantly -with improv? Really? Austen Translation is an extraordinary unscripted play based on the works of Jane Austen -the grande dame of English romantic fiction. With hits like Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Pride and Prejudice, Austen's books have turned mortal women (and men) into slobbering mounds of tearful flesh. Jet City Improv has partnered with Book-It Repertory Theatre to help turn those tearful mounds into giant balls of laughter and joy. In this brand new feature-length improvised comedy, audience suggestions are translated into Jane Austen's very dignified, and very proper, world of landed gentry, grand ballrooms, English manor houses, love, valor, sense and... sensibility.
Austen Translation tells the story of a bright young heroine's journey to navigate the designs of her family and the delicacy of her heart. Each performance, the trained improvisational actors will give prominence to the name of one lucky audience volunteer before gathering other suggestions to create a new cast of suitors, sisters, and spinsters for every performance. Some volunteers from the audience will even have the chance to sit down on stage for tea with the more respectable members of society to give their take on the gossip of who's engaged and who's not.
Show creator and Jet City Improv artistic director Andrew McMasters explains, "I have had the idea for a number of years to create an ensemble piece based on Jane Austen's work. When I spoke with Book-It, they were thrilled to partner and help make this happen. The chance to tell a brand new story every night is very exciting for us and Book-It was instrumental in sending us down the right path to success. They know their Austen!"
The cast features some of Seattle's best improvisers and actors: Molly Arkin (Blood Squad), Chris Allen (JCI's Final Transmission), Jon Axell (JCI's Election Show), Jeannine Clarke (JCI's Where No Man Has Gone Before), Mandy Price (JCI's Goin' Steady:The Musical), Kate Jaeger (Balagan's Avenue Q), Randy Miller (JCI's Clues), Graham Tordoff (JCI's Gauntlet), Laura Turner (JCI's Lost Folio), and Elicia Wickstead (Blood Squad).
The production runs Thursday and Friday nights from Jan. 3 to Feb. 8 with a special opening night gala on Jan. 3 featuring a question and answer with the actors, cake and champagne. There are no performances on Jan. 24 and 25. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 (with proper identification) for students, seniors, military personnel and TPS members.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Saint Leo University Head men's basketball coach Lance Randall served as a guest speaker this past weekend at a Gainesville Coaching Clinic. Randall, a highly touted motivational speaker and clinician, shared his basketball knowledge with coaches from Florida, Alabama and Georgia.
Named the Sunshine State Conference's Coach of the Year in his first season at the helm, Randall has brought his history of successful coaching to Saint Leo, helping the Lions win 19 games and earning the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth in 2012. He was only the third coach in the 45 year history of the program to earn Coach of the Year honors.
Randall recently released the 2012-13 men's basketball schedule, setting another high standard for a team that went 18-12 a season ago.

How to manage and style your hair until you hit your perfect length
6 Organic Products That Fight The Signs of Aging
You've hit that awkward in-between stage. But don't touch the scissors. "You'll only be more frustrated in the end," said hairstylist John Barrett. Instead, he recommended "being patient and knowing you still have many options." Here, he shares his tips for how to manage and style your hair until you hit your perfect length.More
The secret to growing out bangs successfully may surprise you: Schedule regular trims. But didn't we just tell you to step away from the scissors? While completely chopping off regrowth only causes you to cycle through more bang remorse, regular bang trims actually help your fringe grow longer more quickly. "Trimming promotes healthy hair, and healthier hair is more apt to absorb moisture and vitamins to help it grow," said John Barrett, owner of the John Barrett Salon at Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan. He suggested booking a bang trim every six weeks, noting, "not only will trimming bangs keep them looking great, but also trims make bangs easily blendable into the rest of your hair."
"Keeping your hair moisturized is important; moisture prevents breakage, which is key to successfully growing out bangs," Barrett said. To keep your hair well-hydrated, treat your strands with deep-
conditioning masks. "Deep conditioning should be done about every other week or so [for unprocessed hair], and every week for processed hair," Barrett explained. When styling, choose products with a bit of weight to them, such as a clay, which works to keep those stubborn short hairs from standing at attention when they should be keeping in line.

Music, Theater, Dance
8 minutes/ 3.5 miles
297 West Street Lenox, MA 01240
(413) 637-1600
Tanglewood, the 200-acre summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, attracts thousands every year to concerts by world-famous performers from mid-June to Labor Day. The 5,000-seat main shed hosts larger concerts; the Seiji Ozawa Hall (named for the former BSO conductor—James Levine took the helm in 2003) seats around 1,200 and is used for recitals, chamber music, and more intimate performances by summer program students and soloists. One of the most rewarding ways to experience Tanglewood is to purchase lawn tickets, arrive early with blankets or lawn chairs, and have a picnic. Except for the occasional celebrity concert, lawn tickets remain below $20, and concerts can be clearly heard from just about any spot on the lawn. Inside the shed, tickets vary in price, with most of the good seats costing between $38 and $100.

The Colonial Theater
11 minutes/6 miles
111 South Street Pittsfield, MA 01201
The Colonial Theatre is located at 111 South Street, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts. Built in 1903, the theater was host to many theater greats including George M. Cohan, Sara Bernhardt, John Barrymore, Eubie Blake, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Billie Burke, John Phillips Sousa and the Ziegfeld Follies.
The theater was designed by Pittsfield architect Joseph McArthur Vance. Its ornate turn-of-the 20th century interior has been well preserved by its various owners. Although the theater was closed in 1951, its grandeur had been protected through the years by George Miller and his son, Steven. Miller preserved many features of the Colonial during its conversion from a theater to the Miller's Art Supply Store, making it possible to eventually restore the theater back to its earlier grandeur.
The Colonial Theater was named by Hillary Clinton as a National Historic Treasure in 1998. Following this announcement, the community invested more than $22 million to refurbish the 100-year old Colonial Theatre, one of the only theaters of its kind from the Vaudeville age, described as the "one of the finest acoustical theaters in the world."
The Colonial Theatre Restoration completed work in 2006 and it is now open to the public. Many notable performers have since graced the stage, including James Taylor, the Lovin' Spoonful, and many other musical and theater acts.

COMMUNITY help to spruce up Halesowen town centre in time for its first Britain in Bloom inspection has snowballed, with drab and derelict areas being transformed.
People power – and help from Dudley Council – has resulted in an army of volunteers painting benches and bollards, planting litter picking and clearing rundown areas.
Eve O'Connor, chairman of Halesowen in Bloom, said "guerrilla" gardeners are transforming the town centre and business owners are cleaning and tidying up their frontages.
New owners of the former George pub – who plan to open a tea room - have weeded the disused car park and put out hanging baskets.
An overgrown area at the bottom of Church Lane has been cleared and the council has installed litter bins and benches.
Mrs O'Connor said: "It's been really brightened up and made lovely."
She said the support over the last few weeks had been "phenomenal", adding: "I am absolutely over the moon with the successes and environmental improvements throughout the town and also with the bringing together of people."
The organising committee has launched a Facebook page and a Twitter account which has helped galvanise support, with before and after photographs highlighting the improvements which have made made ready for judges' tour of the town on Monday July 21.
Committee member John Young said: "People seem to be seeing things are happening in the town and are responding. It's going great guns."
But fundraising to pay for the makeover is still £300 short of the £5,000 target.
Mrs O'Connor said there was time for people to sponsor hanging baskets for £75 in memory of a loved one – with a card in their honour displayed in a town centre notice board.
She is also appealing for a last minute sponsor for the flower bed outside St John's Church, who, for £250, can have their name and logo featured.
Meanwhile, Halesowen North councillor Hilary Bills is busy organising the Halesowen in Bloom family treasure hunt.
Ten imaginary plants have been created by local primary schoolchildren and hidden in shops and cafe around the town.
Families have a week to find them and complete their maps which will be available in the foyer of Halesowen Library from Saturday.
They should be posted into the treasure hunt box back at the library by 3pm Saturday July 19 ready for the prize draw at 3.30pm at the Victorian Fair stand in Somers Square, with books and toys donated by WH Smith for the winners.

Eat This and Lose Belly Fat!
"Every dietitian I know agrees that avocados are a must-eat food. They are a great source of healthy fats, which help fill you up so you'll be less likely to want a snack later on. Plus, they taste really decadent. I love putting avocado slices on my salad; research shows that it helps your body absorb nutrients. And they are the perfect food if you're on the go. When I fly, I stash an avocado in my carry-on. I cut it in half, sprinkle on a little salt and pepper, grab a few crackers, and I've got a perfect plane snack." —Carolyn Brown
"No matter what we think about dairy, most of us agree that it's too easy to overdo. Yogurt, cheese—even that whey protein in an energy bar is dairy. It sneaks into more than you might expect. That's why R.D.'s love unsweetened almond milk. It has a consistency similar to cow's milk but half the calories—and you still get vitamin E. I love using almond milk in smoothies, and I also swap it for milk when I make oatmeal and pudding." —Carolyn Brown, a registered dietitian at Foodtrainers in New York City

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Wednesday was a difficult day for the students, faculty and staff at Episcopal School of Jacksonville.
It marks the one year mark since a murder-suicide on campus in which Head of School Dale Regan was killed in her office.
Police said Shane Schumerth, a teacher she fired earlier in the day, went back on campus and shot and killed her, then himself.
The Episcopal family memorialized Regan on Wednesday as the school dedicated the Dale D. Regan Plaza around the school's great oak tree, which is hundreds of years old.
A 12,000-square-foot wood deck was constructed to protect and preserve the root system of the great oak tree, which has been there for centuries, and it's something that was important to Regan.
The area was a gathering place for her and her sons before she was tragically killed.
"She gave freely to me and my brother," Regan's son, John Regan, said at the ceremony Monday, "and even though she is gone on, when I come back to visit this tree, even though I am too old to climb its branches, I will sit in the shade and I will be happy, because I am the boy who loved the tree very much, and this plaza makes me happy. I love you, mom."
Colorful ribbons made by students decorate surrounding trees in the plaza. Sacks said the colors signify the light she brought to so many people's lives.
"She was passionate about teaching and about the students, and this really brings together the campus for everybody," Sacks said. "This school is a place of life and learning, and that's what we remember about her."
Also in the crowd for Wednesday's ceremony were former graduates, parents and others from the public touched by Regan's life and death. State Attorney Angela Corey was one of her students.
"Under her tutelage, we discovered gifts we did not know we had," Corey said. "It is no coincidence that more than one of us, that Dale saw more potential in us than we could see for ourselves."
Those in attendance went to read poems, sing and talk about the impact Regan had on their lives. They said she left behind a legacy of love and now a symbolic place of peace.
"Dale meant a great deal to this school over the years, from the time she set foot here to her death," said David Foerster, the school's founder. "We miss her."
"She was a very loving and giving person, always spoke to me by name, always a kiss on the cheek," said Randy Gordon, of the class of 1979. "This tree has a lot of meaning to those on the school here."
Over the last year, people have donated $300,000 to the Dale D. Regan memorial fund, which made these projects possible.
School security increases in wake of killing
Regan's killing was the first school shooting death in Jacksonville since 1993. And unlike other school shootings where students typically are responsible, it was a teacher who pulled the trigger.
"It was very tragic. You realize how precious life is, and things can happen in a moment's notice," Gordon said. "It brought Jacksonville together to realize this kind of thing can happen and we have to take precautions."
The school has made several security changes to ensure that something like this never happens again.
"We have checkpoints now on campus, increased communication with law enforcement," Sacks said. "We increased the number of emergency drills we do. We revamped our emergency communication plan and crisis communication plan and all that."
Sacks said the school has hired an extra security officer, expanded and upgraded its 911 notification capabilities, created stricter campus visitor policies, and implemented a workplace violence prevention policy.
On campus, the school has installed a digital patrol check system for 24-hour security patrols. And it's completed a cyber re-keying project, limiting access to the building without first being approved.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/8/2013 (1460 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It was an odd sensation. With sushi restaurants popping up on almost every corner -- and without actually having eaten even a single piece recently -- I was beginning to feel as though I'd OD'd on them. But one day I realized it had actually been more than five months since my last mouthful of raw fish, and all of a sudden, raw fish was what I wanted.
There's a lot of it around, much of it good to some degree or other (restaurants that serve bad raw fish won't last long) but when the yen (no pun intended) struck me I didn't want my raw fish merely good, I wanted it great, which was when I thought of Yujiro, where I'd had the best I could remember since Edohei closed.
This Japanese-owned restaurant (an increasing rarity these days) started as a tiny, almost exclusively takeout place on Academy Road, but later blossomed into the full-scale restaurant at the above address. I last ate there about seven years ago, at which time it was rather dark and cramped and awkwardly divided down the middle by a wall. But the wall is gone, and the space has since been redone in spare minimalist style and neutral tones, with the only notes of colour in the lovely orange glow of tiny Japanese lanterns.
The ambience now is airier and serene, but the real payoff is in some of the freshest, finest fish available, whether as sushi or (even better) the incomparable sashimi. Good sushi can be made with good fish, but with nothing to disguise it, sashimi fish has to taste even fresher and more flavourful, and the sashimi I had at Yujiro were superb: hamachi (yellowtail), which is on the regular menu ($16 for seven pieces), and one night's salmon trout from Norway ($15 for five pieces, $22 for nine).
The specials' sheet changes daily, and I still long for the monkfish liver I had years ago -- slightly reminiscent of foie gras but, unfortunately, available only rarely. But this is where my passion for uni was rekindled -- my first sea urchin ever was in Cannes, where it was just hours out of the Mediterranean, and glorious. Since then I've had it mostly in Japanese restaurants, but most of it, sadly, has just tasted mushy.
But one night Yujiro's specials sheet offered sushi with a choice of uni -- one from Hokkaido, the other from Vancouver, at $6 and $3.50 respectively, per piece. The differences between them were slight -- the Hokkaido uni might have been slightly sweeter and possibly a tad creamier -- but I'd be grateful for either. That night there were also specials of foie gras with barbecued eel on sushi rice, which I managed to resist ($12) and, for the open-minded (or adventurous), horsemeat sashimi ($12). But I did try the grilled, skewered beef tongue, which was flavourful throughout, but also, literally, impossible to chew through in parts ($6).
The sushi rice is moist and flavourful and the other ingredients are top-notch. You can have the standard California roll, made with imitation crab, mayo, flying fish roe and avocado at $5.50 for six pieces, but I prefer the deluxe version with real crab, for $7. The rice noodle and cucumber sunomono salad also comes with a choice -- $6 with imitation crab (or shrimp or octopus), or $8 for the deluxe with four sizable chunks of the real thing.
Nigiri sushi are a perfect balance of rice and toppings, and range from $3 to $3.50 per piece. The rolls (maki or inside out) are mostly $3.50 to $12, among them one relative rarity -- the delicious soft-shell shrimp roll with avocado and tobiko. I'd have been happier with the special maki of barbecued salmon skin, salmon, tuna, scallop, real crab and tobiko roe if the rubbery nori wrapping hadn't been too hard to bite through, and the oversize filling (which needed three bites) hadn't fallen apart. I could also pick a nit about the skimpy amounts of pickled ginger with all the dishes.
There are five dishes listed simply as fish, with four of them at $6 each, including the excellent barbecued salmon belly. Seared black cod with a slightly sweet miso sauce is the exception at $12, but it's fabulous. Appetizers and side dishes are also excellent: agedashi tofu -- three soft, fresh-tasting squares, deep-fried in a delicate coating and served with dashi sauce ($4); diced tuna goma ae with avocado and a sweet sesame dressing ($12); and lightly grilled tuna tataki with a citrusy ponzu sauce ($13). The pork-filled gyoza dumplings were bursting with juices ($5.50), and fine flavoured shrimp tempura came in the lightest possible batter (four pieces $6, eight for $11).
Prices are higher than some sushi spots, but so is the quality. Even something as simple and standard as miso soup had more flavour than most, and there are several affordable choices of the same quality as the more expensive dishes. Dinner bento boxes, for instance are $18 to $20, with appetizer, salad and ice cream, and at dinner, seafood-topped donburi are $16 to $20 with miso included.
Lunches are even better buys, with bento boxes ranging from $10 to $14 filled with miso soup, a delicate little salad, an appetizer, two pieces of inari sushi (rice in skin-thin fried tofu) and two main items. Alternately there are lunch donburi at $8 each, with miso soup and salad. They were out of the beef with onions and yam cake, but I liked the fried katzu don pork topped by an egg. I can't say the same for the utterly flavourless diced chicken thigh.
There are ice creams and bean cake for dessert, but I'd always opt for the exquisite banana tempura -- tiny chunks of fried banana, topped with slices of strawberry, chocolate and peanut butter sauces (yes, peanut butter) and whipped cream ($5.50). A must, even if you think you're too full for dessert.
All dishes are beautifully presented and the service is perfect.

A9 TV; 28 August 2011
If people really understood the logic of communism they would realize the importance of the intellectual struggle against it. But we cannot get anywhere by sending messages of hatred or saying "we will never give in." In other words, these messages will not stop or affect them. That system will continue working fine. But we can get results through an intellectual struggle.
Bediüzzaman responds to those who fail to support the establishment of Islamic Union by saying, "I am not strong enough, there is nothing I can do, how can I save the world?" in the following words. There are also those who say, "The dajjal [antichrist] has come, Hazrat Mahdi (as) has come, everything is over and done with, so we can just wait for the Day of Reckoning." "Do not say we have an excuse by saying we do no harm, but we have no power to do good, so do not reprove us," says Bediüzzaman.He says;"It is not acceptance of your apology, it is your failure to work, out of laziness and apathy, and your not striving for true Islamic Union that is the true harm and injustice for you." (Damascus Sermon, 48) Some people are doing this now.
Such great events are taking place, the way of the Mahdi is expanding so visibly that even the blindest can see it. Some people are trying to halt the flow, but it cannot be done. Allah shows that quite clearly and explicitly. "Hazrat Mahdi (as) has come, Jesus the Messiah has come, so wake up and pull yourselves together, the moral values of Islam are coming to dominate the world," He is saying. Look carefully at the world and you will see. How Allah is breaking their pride and how He is obliging them to understand Islam and the Qur'an. There is not a superb reply to the way of the dajjal [antichrist] on the side of busses in England. The dajjal said something else. But we have said the truth. Whenever the dajjal says something, we fire back a response. We are waging a joyous intellectual struggle against rebellion and madness, insha'Allah.
Hazrat Khidr (as) is roaming the earth. Almighty Allah is warning the world from all sides. But note that He does not take away the need for free will. Those who do not look carefully cannot see. But everyone has a different way of waking up. Some people wake up to light music, others to a slight breeze and others again when you call their everyone by name. Some people you have to go and shake. You lift their foot up and they still don't wake up. We will wake up in a manner they understand. And Allah is still waking people up. We are Almighty Allah's instrument, insha'Allah.
Our beloved ones go to the Messenger of Allah (saas). They join Hazrat Hamza, Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Umar and Hazrat Hussein. One verse says that "they are waiting." New people join them every day. Almighty Allah says that they do not realize they are dead. Amazing. In other words, they are in another world, but new people arrive, other people come. They do not realize they arrive as dead people. Only when Allah so wishes. They forget the world, for instance. It never occurs to them. They imagine that there is a normal universe, a normal world. They are unaware they have died. Other people know, but they do not. They live normal lives and are tested. They pray and worship and remember Allah. They obey our Prophet (saas) and abide by the faith. But they do not realize they are dead. They have complete heedfulness. Martyrs do not commit sin there. Allah does not permit it. There is no chance of falling into sin there. They live and worship as Muslims there. Later, they realize they are dead. They realize when they go to paradise. But they do not realize at any intermediate stage. Allah creates a great many dimensions. There is the dimension of the Prophet Jesus (as), and of Hazrat Khidr (as), and of the angels, and the dimension of the martyrs. But Khidr (as) knows. If you ask Hazrat Khidr (as), he will say his life is perfectly normal. It merely seems extraordinary to us. The words "Hazrat Khidr (as)" take our breath away. Go and ask Hazrat Khidr (as) And he will regard it as very unextraordinary. He is used to it.
Allah takes many martyrs prior to every victory. That is the law of Allah. Allah took many martyrs before the capture of Mecca. He then gave them Mecca. The same with the capture of Constantinople. Allah did that during the foundation of the Ottoman Empire. That is the law of Allah. Then Allah grants dominion once a specific limit is reached, a specific number, insha'Allah. There is no dominion without martyrs. Look at history and you will see none, insha'Allah.
Seventy or eighty percent of our women do not cover their heads. We try to teach the idea they should be loved and respected. Because the fanatic mindset harbors a mighty hatred toward women who do not cover up, a huge loathing. A young girl goes to school, covered up, and they again behave disgracefully. Insults and oaths and they turn her away at the door. The person they are attacking is a young girl. They are unable to go to school. The TV has shown it. That is all wrong. Women with uncovered heads are immaculate believers, 100% Muslim. Women who cover their heads are also 100% devout Muslims.
Preach the Sunnah of our Prophet (saas), the Qur'an, love and compassion. Spread general culture. Use all the means made available by art and science. Use the finest means to tell people of love and beauty. Use the internet, hold meetings in assembly rooms. You can do excellent things. What is the point in sitting and making people uneasy?
It would be a terrible mistake to portray tendencies that will upset the nation and the state and turn people away from Islam as beneficial to Islam and the Qur'an. The Muslims of the world now have room to breathe under the protection of the way of the Mahdi. Under the other logic, Muslims have been oppressed and persecuted, they have suffered and produced a situation that will turn people away from Islam. They have put people off Islam. We are trying to put right the damage they have done.
Islam will come about through science and reason, and describing the miracles of the Qur'an. Through showing Allah's miracles in the universe. When the miracles of the Qur'an are proved and documented by scientific methods, an easing will enter people's hearts. This method will be highly effective. It is also important to give glad tidings and to adopt an inclusive logic. Some people hate Jews, Christians, women who go uncovered, women who cover up, men who do not let their beards grow and this and that. They refuse to pray behind a clean-shaven man.
Although Islam favors beauty, love, kindness, freedom and democracy, they give the impression that Islam has a very different perspective. They try to portray it as a scourge that kills, that closes people's minds, that turns them away from life, that depicts life as different to what it really is, and that deprives people of all joy and enthusiasm.
There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, but they are captive. Three hundred people are persecuting 1.5 billion Muslims. They go off and invade Libya or Iraq. When we talk to ignorant, supposed, religious scholars, they are very sure of themselves and refuse to listen. They put their noses up in the air. Then after they have caused Muslims to suffer a terrible disaster, they say "Oh well, what's done is done." But the perfect structure resulting from the unification of Muslims would resolve the matter totally. In other words, Islamic Union, Turkish-Islamic Union will appear as soon as the defective and abnormal aspects within Muslims are corrected. But the 'leading Islamic scholars', the scholars obstruct the truth and our telling the truth and also prevent people progressing swiftly on to Islamic Union, Turkish-Islamic Union, and the spread of the way of the Mahdi. Of course they can never succeed in that. That is another matter. But we have to provide a rational, well documented criticism. If you have noticed, I never criticize in an unconstructive manner. My criticism is positive and constructive. So people can straighten themselves out as a result.
I am causing everyone, in England and America and everywhere to love Islam and the Qur'an, masha'Allah, with great joy and love. I prove the fanatical nature of the fanatics, while never resorting to any exaggerated form of language. There is a dimensional gulf between fanaticism and Islam. People used to confuse fanaticism and Islam.
The way of the dajjal has two arms, and it attacks from both. One is direct atheism, Darwinism and materialism. The other way it attacks is through fanaticism. But I have broken both of the dajjal's arms. Both the fanatic arm and the atheist one. The dajjal is now taking flight with his one blind eye. We are bringing him down wherever we touch him. I keep hitting him and he keeps jumping up and down.
We will bring about Turkish-Islamic Union through knowledge, science and learning, insha'Allah. With affection, masha'Allah.
Enraging the dajjal is one of my greatest pleasures, insha'Allah. The supporters of the dajjal have been spluttering with rage since they saw those signs reading "God exists" on the side of busses in England. The fanatics are also hugely jealous.
People imagine that when the moral values of Islam rule the world, vast groups of loathsome fanatics will be all over the place. Not at all. We will never allow the fanatics to create such a horrible world. We will bring about a luminous, heavenly world, a life resembling that of the Age of Felicity, through knowledge and learning and love. The way that the Messenger of Allah (saas) had that lovely smell. Like a rose. They could smell him from 10 meters away. The way he used to joke and play with women. In the way that the Prophet Solomon (as) used to joke with Balqis, telling her to enter the pool. We will resemble the Prophet Solomon (as), the Prophet Moses (as) and the Prophet Abraham (as), insha'Allah. The luminous, radiant, joyful, transparent, high-quality and fragrant values of Islam will rule the world.
Fanatics also disgust one another. They gossip about one another. Go among the fanatics and have a look, if you like. Go and attend one of their discourses. They immediately start tearing one another apart. They immediately start backbiting. You will immediately start seeing their corruption and filth.
Every single fanatic is a Pharaoh in his own right. The same with the dajjal's people. For example, they say; "We will finish the PKK terror organization off in this way and in that way. We will capture their chairmen and their leaders." Every member of the PKK, every communist, is a Pharaoh in his own right. They regard themselves as greater than Allah. Bediüzzaman describes that aspect of theirs in his Rays. "Each one is a kind of Nemrud, tries to be a kind of Pharaoh," he says. For that reason, yes, Abdullah Öcalan is a Pharaoh, but all the members of the PKK and all communists, all the communists who shed blood inside the PKK, I mean, all communist murderers, are a kind of Pharaoh and exceedingly arrogant. They never admit defeat. No matter what you do. They need to be taught properly and to correct their pharaonic natures. If one can free them from being like Pharaoh, if one can expel the satan within them, then they will stop being monsters. But you cannot slay the monster using classical methods. You have seen that the monster cannot be slain like that. That is how Allah creates it. In other words, there is a satan alongside each one of them. They are all Pharaohs. In the same way the dajjal is in human form, these are satans in human form. They are a specially created iblis army. "We will defeat them," they say. You cannot defeat them, my friend. You can only defeat them if you chase away the iblis inside them. You will see that you cannot. You can only defeat them with ideas and faith. The Qur'an tells you so. But they say, "I do not heed the Qur'an, I will use my own methods." Try it. But you cannot do it. You see the situation every day; a fight to the death. People say: "This is improper behavior, disgraceful, you should be ashamed of yourselves, have you no faith or belief? Have you no fear of Allah? How can you do these things in the month of Ramadan? In this holy time?" But they just rolling around laughing.
They are therefore mistaken. Bediüzzaman's diagnosis is totally accurate. There is no other way. Bediüzzaman's diagnosis is this; "The solution is the way of the Mahdi, Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers." "They will make use of the Risale-i Nur and wipe out the way of the dajjal and the way of the sufyan," he says. The PKK terror organization is the army of the dajjal. Allah bestows a special power and strength on the army of the dajjal. They are supported by satan. And each one is a kind of Pharaoh. He speaks of "the movement of Nimrod." He says that "materialist philosophy will spread in the End Times." Bediüzzaman says that the solution is the way of the Mahdi, that we can only respond with the collapse of Darwinism and materialism. This will eventually happen. You will see. It is coming. You will see that.2011-09-30 20:14:26

Life in The Upper South...
Recently, Keely, her boyfriend Taurus, Isaac, and I went to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. Tenn-Ren is held on weekends throughout the month of May, in a shady faire-ground just south of Nashville, Tennessee.
Many of the Tenn-Ren faire-goers wear costumes. Some costumes are medieval, some are Renaissance, some are fantasy, and some are just amusing. For people who enjoy dressing up, it's a garb fest!
Of course, you don't have to wear a costume. It's fun just to walk around and look at the merchant's wares and watch the various shows. Isaac didn't dress up but Keely, Taurus, and I did.
Here are some images from Tennessee Renaissance Festival, 2007:
Knight in chain mail
Isaac tries finger-armor
Winged women on parade
Renaissance costumes for sale
A faire-goer in his own skin
Elf ears for all
Keely at the Pirate's Cove
Renaissance Festival puns
The Scots were looking spiffy
Dressed in a style all their own
The lovely Queen and her court
Another look at the Queen
Many styles of garb in the crowd
Keely and Taurus

The rag lady poses
Isaac experiences feathers

Three well-dressed picnickers
He leads, she follows

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Everyone has had the experience where you have something on the tip of your tongue, but you can't remember it. One way to try to recall the information is to think around it. Another way is to stop thinking about it and let your unconscious mind process it for a while. Sometimes the fact will jump into your mind the moment after you stop thinking about it. Normally, once you remember the fact, it seems obvious and you can hardly imagine why you couldn't remember it in the first place.
This proves a few facts about memory. First, it shows that memory is not all or none. In other words, sometimes you can recall a partial or incomplete memory. Second, just because the information is in your mind doesn't mean you can recall it whenever you want. Organizational problems sometimes prevent recall for information that exists.

Advocates for our Staff
At UC Riverside, our staff members have a voice for important issues that affect the workplace and their lives. That voice is the Staff Assembly, a body that promotes the interests and well-being of all staff career employees as allowed by law. The Staff Assembly works in conjunction with the Office of the Chancellor to support the university's mission.
All career staff employees are members of the Staff Assembly and are invited to attend quarterly meetings. Members also are encouraged to run for an Executive Board position or become a member of a standing committee. Elections are held in the spring and terms run through the academic year.
UCR Staff Assembly is a branch of the Council of University of California Staff Assemblies (CUCSA), which formed in 1974 to improve communications between UC administration and staff and among the staff of the individual campuses
Our Staff Assembly also sponsors social events and outings, such as a winter holiday party and trips to the Long Beach Aquarium, recognizes outstanding staff at an annual awards ceremony, participates in philanthropic and community service activities and raises money for Staff Assembly Enrichment Scholarships.
Staff Assembly Enrichment Scholarships support activities that enrich the personal and professional lives of UCR staff. All career staff employees who have completed the probation period are eligible to apply. Scholarships are available in one of three categories:
- Career development, including certificate programs, career development conferences, workshops, or course.
- Degree attainment expense.
- Personal development and growth, such as self-improvement programs, exercise classes, and yoga.

Hypoglycemia is a low level of blood sugar. A person may
tremble, feel nervous or jittery, break out in a cold sweat, have a headache,
or feel sick to his or her stomach.
If blood sugar, also called glucose,
continues to fall, a person may experience mood changes, such as irritability,
anxiety, restlessness, anger, or confusion. And he or she may have symptoms
such as weakness, blurred vision, dizziness, fatigue, and poor coordination.
Hypoglycemia may also result from taking certain medicines or drinking alcohol. It can also be caused by certain health problems, such as not processing

Treatment for a sudden (acute) episode of hypoglycemia
involves eating or drinking some form of sugar to restore blood sugar to a

hi guys i'm new here,well my thing is to completelly shut down a website which is located or made in Copenhagen,Denmark which is registered trough GoDaddy.com i have his domain name,administrative contact and technical contact address and email,also his domain servers. the only thing that worries me is this:
Registry Status: clientDeleteProhibitedRegistry Status: clientRenewProhibitedRegistry Status: clientTransferProhibitedRegistry Status: clientUpdateProhibited
is that the problem to shut down the website or not?if somebody can advise or tell me what to do or i can do i can give my email to someone of you i also can find on the same page the IP address of that website.
hope you can help me,thank you guys.
Hi abused. Welcome to SitePoint.
What do you mean by 'shut down website'? Do you want to take it offline, or delete it completely, or ...?
I've moved this to hosting (although I was a bit in doubt to move it to domains) because I think that it fits better in this area (it is a mix of hosting and domains)
The hosting part is easy. Simply remove all the files in the remote server and inform your ISP that you will be ending your hosting contract. They will delete the DNS zones for that domain as well as dispose of the hard disk space contracted.
The domain part is more difficult and this is the area where you seem to have problems with. You not only the contact details (either owner or administrative) but you need to be one of them (or at least to have their username and password to access the domain control panel which can be the same as the hosting's or not).
Some providers have an option to indicate that they don't want that name anymore, other simply will tell you that you don't have to renew the domain name when it expires.
Check goDaddy's faqs to know their policy about this particular subject
Edit: By the way, you shouldn't be worried by the clientProhibited messages... that's natural because you can't connect with the registrar's database directly.
erm, wrong 'Hosting' Nuria
Moved to 'Web Hosting'!
Sounds kinda like you're asking how to take down someone elses website.. is that what you're trying to get info about? O_o
hi, your questions seems like you want to completely shutdown your website. if that's your main purpose then remove all the files that you have from your server and then ask your hosting company to cancel your account. after that you can inform the company from where you have booked domain and ask them not to renew your domain name.when the time will come for renual of the domain name don't do it. as simple as that
you can send them the mail.if you already moved your site to new admin then you can delete account from go daddy.if that not happend then donot worry no one can use your details for wrong way because all domain register has a godfather which is call as ICANN.
If you no-longer want to host a website, tell your server / service to stop serving it - simple really.
If you want to drop the domain, don't renew it when it comes around, most providers won't let you cancel a domain before their renewal date.
The "Registry Status" just means that the domain has been locked by the registrar so that it can not be modified or transferred to a different registrar unless the owner specifically unlocks it. This is ostensibly done to forestall other registrars from "hijacking" domains (but it also puts obstacles in the way of the domain owner moving away from GoDaddy - which is probably more important).
If you have the password just go in, unlock it and make what ever changes you need to make. Presumably you want to change the name servers to point the domain to something else?
Remember that the domain name is just the address to get to the website - it isn't the website itself. But obviously, if the address isn't pointing to the hosting package you have effectively shut it down.
Cheers - Ingenyes.
The fastest way would be to call the provider and just have them delete you off their servers. Of course you can always back up your data before hand or manually delete it.
You could easily remove the files from your Web site via an FTP client, or you could contact your host and have them take it down—essentially just deleting your account.

FIRST LOOK: Kingston DDR2 Next-Generation Memoryby Wesley Fink on 3/18/2004 9:30 PM EST
- Posted in

7 Comments
Back to Article
Pumpkinierre - Friday, March 19, 2004 - linkWith the hot, possibly speed limited (where's that 3.4?) Prescott and double cost slower memory not forgetting PCI-E costs and problems, looks like intel may have got themselves another rambus/willamette scenario. With dual channel Sckt939 newcastle, nF3-250 fron nVidia and DDR1-550 coming from Hynix, lets hope AMD can profit this time.
PrinceGaz - Friday, March 19, 2004 - linkAlthough initially its sure to be both more expensive and provide little if any performance benefit over standard DDR, its clear that pairing up a bandwidth-hungry P4 processor with DDR2 memory will become the norm within a year and we'll be looking at DDR only mobos for them by then in much the same way as we considered PC100/PC133 SDRAM ones a couple of years ago.
Its more interesting where this will leave AMD and its Athlon 64 -- presumably they need to redesign the processor to support a new faster memory-standard and that probably isn't even possible without changing the current Socket 754/939/940 to something new. Though Socket 939 isn't even here yet. While the Athlon design isn't as sensitive to memory-bandwidth as the P4, sooner or later (probably later) its sure to switch which is going to leave existing A64 owners in a dead-end. But in the meantime AMD customers should benefit from cheaper memory as well as the cheaper mobos they're used to. Reply
IamTHEsnake - Friday, March 19, 2004 - linkUntil the price is in tone with performance DDR2 is not something I want. I'll bet the high end pc4400 DDR1 will even beat the 533ddr2 Reply
gherald - Friday, March 19, 2004 - linkbob, they don't expect much yet. they're getting ready for when the ddr-2 chipsets *are* out.
it would be pretty stupid to wait untill the ddr2 boards are out and *then* start looking into producing modules Reply
jcsamp - Friday, March 19, 2004 - linkDoes anybody know what kind of difference the FBGA chips used here have with GeIL's WLCSP chips it uses on its Golden Dragon line? It seems the benefits listed in the article are similar to those GeIL reports. Reply
bobsmith1492 - Friday, March 19, 2004 - linkHow do they expect to make money off of these if no one can use them (therefore no one would buy them) since there are no compatible motherboards (available)? Reply
Jeff7181 - Friday, March 19, 2004 - linkI'll be very interested to see a memory latency comparison when some DDR-II motherboards hit the market. Reply

Digest — By Capt. Dave Lear
Ahi Central
|Part 2: Ahi Scouts Appear
According to folklore, the ahi scouts appear whenever the mango trees start blooming or once the termites come out at night and gather under streetlights. That's usually around May, when the water warms up into the upper 70-degree range. Once the big schools arrive, all manner of craft, from sportfishermen like Legend to small, outboard-powered center consoles and runabouts, zip offshore in search of sashimi on the fin. Obviously, this is the time you want to be here.
Besides birds and bait, the other leading indicators for ahi are porpoise schools. The friendly mammals typically eat the same food as the yellowfins, so when you find one, you'll often find the other. Deep-running lures like chrome jet heads trolled around the edge of the porpoise entice the tuna; another popular method is to chum and soak cut bait down deep among the tidbits.
Since the ahi can easily top 200 pounds (and there's always the chance for a monster blue), tackle runs heavy. Legend uses Penn International 80- and 130-pound bent-butt outfits (two flat, two riggers) that are fished from the fighting chair. Small lures for spearfish are run "way back" on a 50.
"We'll often get blind strikes once the ahi arrive," Pruner says. "You'll be trolling along and bam, both rods will go off with a double. Then you've got your hands full."
Unfortunately, I'll have to take him at his word. In spite of finding expansive schools of porpoise, the ahi scouts eluded us during my two early-season days aboard Legend. I did break the ice with a spirited 35-pound mahi mahi and briefly had on a blue marlin that we estimated at 275 pounds. Still, I saw enough to realize Ko Olina's potential. Apparently so does the local sportfishing community--the state's first in-water boat show and ocean expo was held there in late May, and the World Billfish Challenge Tournament was slated for August 16 to 20, all of which makes Pruner excited about his role as a Ko Olina pioneer.
"This area has it all," he explains. "You're minutes away from a very fishy area, plus you have all the benefits of a world-class resort right next door. Golf, spa, tennis, plus big-game sportfishing--what more could you want?" Sounds like someone with a bad case of ahi fever, doesn't it? The only known cure is salt spray and a bent rod.

Sci-Fi Style
L.A. Goes NYC
Chandler in L.A.
If there's an L.A. uniform, it's denim. Low-rise jeans, miniskirts, and washed jackets are all key, but the current must-have is the cutoff—pockets showing, preferably. Chandler Suggs, 21, a salesperson at the boutique Live! on Sunset, owns several pairs. She pulls hers out on hot, sunny days. And let's face it—L.A. has plenty of those.
L.A. Goes NYC
Chandler in NYC
I traded Chandler's shorts for white jeans and stripped the rest of the denim from her look (in NYC, that's a joke just waiting to be told). We toughened her up with two of spring's biggest trends: the military-inspired jacket and spike-heeled boots that are not made for walking. Good thing everyone drives in L.A.

I'm fascinated by roadside billboard advertising. The reason is this: With most other forms of advertising, your ad finds its audience: You broadcast on Idol, and wherever they are — the gym, living room, bed room, bar — people who want that show see your ad. With a billboard, you're stationary — everyone who sees your ad has to drive by … and in one direction! How do you know that the strip from Oak Cliff to Waxahachie is where most men who've had vasectomies want to get their procedure reversed? Why not Sylvan to Arlington? Inquiring minds….
So I was curious the other day, driving to a friend's house for dinner, to see a billboard along I-30 East with a dinosaur on it. It looked like the kind of thing you'd see at a theme park. It said "The mighty T-rex!" or something, and then, "674 miles ahead to Cincinnati, Ohio." (It's actually in Northern Kentucky.)
What strange hell is this? Why advertise in East Dallas for a museum in the Midwest?
Then I looked more carefully at the ad. It gave its website: CreationMuseum.org.
And I began to understand.
What in the blazes could a dinosaur — the perfect symbol not only of Earth's scientific age, but of evolution itself — have to do with a museum whose name seemed to imply a biblical devotion?
So I went to the website. And it is astounding.

The Kenyan military says it. The African Union says it. Even al-Shabaab says it. But President Uhuru Kenyatta not only refuses to say it; he actively denies it.
In a speech televised to the nation more than 40 hours after 49 of his countrymen were massacred in a terrorist attack on a coastal town, Mr Kenyatta has blamed not Islamist jihadis from al-Shabaab, the al-Qaeda-linked Somali militancy who claimed responsibility for the raid, but "local political networks".
"The attack in Lamu was well-planned, orchestrated, and politically motivated ethnic violence against a Kenyan community, with the intention of profiling and evicting them for political reasons," he said in the speech on Tuesday afternoon. "This therefore, was not an al-Shabaab terrorist attack."
Few corroborate his view. Eyewitnesses, who say gunmen targeted men who could not recite the Islamic creed, are among those convinced it was indeed a terrorist attack. Western diplomats and security experts – who have heavily criticised the Kenyan government's response to insecurity in recent months – say it is appalling the government is politicising the latest massacre rather than addressing the rising security crisis.

Topic: immunotherapy
It seems as if immunotherapy will be the way of the future, but I am looking for the experience of others in this line of treatment.
I am still on 2nd line chemo (FOLFIRI), but I'm seriously researching the dendritic cell vaccine and viruses. Some only use cryopreserved tumor samples. Some docs do it only with fresh tumor, while others use another method.
I've been in contact with Dr. Gustavo Moviglia in Buenos Aires, who has been doing similar work, but without the virus. He met with me in person in NYC -- quite an impressive and kind man. I am considering his treatment, but prefer to learn more before heading to So America. I also prefer to find docs in the US.
Raymond Chang was also recommended to me, but I wanted to get some patient reviews before spending $875 for a one-hour consult. He works with the Nesselhuts in Germany on dendritic cell vaccines..
I wish you (and all of us) the best of luck!

Thomas Bach, the new president of the International Olympic Committee, is the ninth person to hold the position since it was established in 1894. The election of Mr Bach, once an Olympic gold medal fencer, comes shortly after the investiture of Ephraim Mirvis as chief rabbi of Britain and the Commonwealth. Britain has had chief rabbis since 1704. Rabbi Mirvis is just the 11th to hold the post.
When the Olympic movement and British Jewry appoint bosses, they expect them to stick around.
Contrast that with company chief executives, who are being thrown out in almost unprecedented numbers. Read more

Man accused of trying to use fake credit cards, ID at mall
Published: Sunday, May 5, 2013 at 7:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 5, 2013 at 7:34 p.m.
The Coral Gables man first tried to buy $800 worth of gift cards at the Victoria's Secret store in the Oaks Mall, but his credit card was rejected. Next, he tried to buy $2,000 worth of gift cards at the GNC store, but his card was flagged as fraudulent, a report said.
When Gainesville Police finally sorted it all out, the man was arrested and admitted that he was part of an organized credit card fraud ring and that he was expecting to get paid $5,000 for his part.
Instead, he's in the Alachua County Jail on a $35,000 bond.
Police said that Oscar Acosta, 28, was in the mall around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday when a security guard alerted GPD that he was attempting to use bogus cards for big purchases.
The man at first identified himself to GPD Officer Joseph Register as Leonel Pujol and he gave him a Louisiana driver's license and several credit cards in that name. A records check showed the driver's license was fictitious. While being questioned in the mall security office, Acosta asked to use the restroom. After he exited, police checked the stall and found several more fake IDs and credit cards in the top tank of the toilet.
Acosta was arrested on two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, tampering with evidence, scheme to defraud, two counts of using a fake identification, and giving false information to police.
He was being held at the Alachua County Jail on Sunday on $35,000 bond.
