THE rest of the country may have been feeling blue on Monday – but not Rovers supporters.
There was no chance of the Ewood Park faithful wallowing on what is believed to be the most miserable day of the year.
Not after their side's mightily impressive performance against Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday.
And not after a promising start to 2014 which has also seen Rovers win at Elland Road for the first time in a decade and, with the minimum of fuss, wrap up two knockdown deals.
One player, Tom Cairney, is already an integral member of Gary Bowyer's team and another, Rudy Gestede, showed against City what an asset he could become.
After the annus horribilis that was 2013 you cannot blame Rovers fans for feeling cautiously optimistic about what lies ahead, on the field at least.
Boss Bowyer, never one for going overboard, is sensible to suggest that this is not a time for getting carried away.
Especially when you consider just two weeks ago it felt like the whole world was going to cave in – and all because his side failed to break down a stubborn and well organised Sheffield Wednesday.
But, bar the freak first half against Birmingham City, what has happened since then has been encouraging.
Now the challenge facing the Rovers players is maintaining the standards they set against Leeds United on New Year's Day and against Manchester City at the weekend. And that means beating Doncaster at Ewood on Saturday.
Donny, in complete contrast to Rovers, go into the match desperately short of confidence after an eight-game winless run.
Now it is difficult to predict the outcome of Championship matches from one week to the next.
But if Rovers are to hold genuine play-off aspirations – and, sitting just two points shy of the top six, they are certainly well placed for a promotion push – then this is a game they must win.
Given the way they played against City – who they frustrated and threatened in equal measure – and Leeds before that, there is absolutely no reason why they cannot claim the three points.
And if they do they will send their supporters bouncing into work on Monday with a smile on their faces once again.

BOURNEMOUTH BMX club is on track to succeed after winning an £8,000 grant to upgrade its facilities.
The popular Iford-based club has secured its position as a national race venue after installing a new safety start gate and carrying out improvements to the start hill.
The improvements were funded by an £8,000 grant from Bournemouth council's Community Action Fund. The initiative was set up by the council to provide financial support to groups who are helping to reduce antisocial behaviour, reduce health inequalities and boost community engagement.
Cllr Lawrence Williams, cabinet member for leisure, tourism and culture, kick-started a day of celebrations, which included open-track sessions and coaching. He said: "The BMX club provides a great service and we are delighted to have been able to support them with this funding.
"The Community Action Fund was set up to help organisations exactly like this.
"The facilities they provide are used and enjoyed by a number of our residents.
"I look forward to seeing the benefits these improvements to the track will bring."
Mike Whittaker, chairman of the BMX club, said: "Everyone at the club would like to say a big thank you to the council for helping make this happen.
"The benefit to the club from these improvements will be huge, a real benefit to grassroots BMX racing."

Donnell Rawlings Brings FROM ASHY TO CLASSY to the RRazz Room, 1/25-27
Live at The RRazz, San Francisco's premier nightclub, will present DONNELL RAWLINGS with his hit comedy show "From Ashy to Classy... Live & Uncut" from January 25 to January 27. With his firm grasp of the outrageous, Donnell (HBO's "The Wire") was born to make people laugh. He grabbed America's funny bone on "Chappelle's Show" with characters like Ashy Larry and the distinctively jheri-curled Beautiful. Now Donnell goes even further, taking on the entire American culture with impersonations of everybody from Michael Jackson (RIP) to Barack Obama, and bringing his audience to tears with his razor-sharp insights and fearless observations.
DONNELL RAWLINGS is an overnight success a decade in the making. His unique brand of observational humor earned Donnell co-hosting duties on Power 105's (NY's #1 Hip Hop and R+B radio station) morning show "Egypt and Ashy in the Morning". He is now co-hosting "The Big Tigger Morning Show" on WPGC in Washington D.C. currently, Donnell can be seen regularly on E!'s hit show "Chelsea Lately," MTV's new show "Hatin.'". His new 1 Hour Stand-Up "Ashy to Classy" premiered on Comedy Central and is now available in stores on DVD.
He also enjoyed reprising his character of Day-Day Price on HBO's Emmy-Award winning series "The Wire" during a 3 episode arc, during the show's final season (2007-2008). In 2007, Donnell co-created and starred in Heavy.com's hit web series "From Ashy to Classy," in which Donnell portrays the loveable yet clueless culture critic, Ashford Lawrence. The series was picked up for a second round of episodes and remains one of Heavy.com's most popular shows. Additionally, Donnell has starred in "Reality Bites Back" for Comedy Central and tours heavily with his stand up dates.
Donnell has performed his intelligently bold stand-up throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean. He has appeared on award winning Law & Order series: "Special Victims Unit" (SVU) and "Criminal Intent" (CI). Donnell can also be seen on NBC's "Third Watch" and the Emmy Award winning HBO Special: "The Corner". Coming up next Donnell also has a supporting role in Queen Latifah's new movie Percentage. From his weekly guest appearance on New York's Hot 97 Morning Show, to his role in the blockbuster Spider-Man II and his position as resident "Funny Guy" on the Ricki Lake Show, Donnell's rise to stardom may not have been "overnight", but the journey has given him the life experience to keep his humor edgy and relevant. Donnell's peers have noticed his talent and potential. Wayne Brady commented that Donnell provides "amazing work on the show," and Dave Chappelle feels that "Donnell brings so much to the table... this very funny guy makes it look natural and easy."

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated January 7th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: PKK actually called a temporary truce for now; they are not making any attacks right now. This can be observed. As far as I understand they are in a process of recovery and are setting up a new strategy. Most probably, by getting the communists of Syria and the Iraqi communists into the picture, they are thinking about making a very strong attack. At the moment, as far as I see, there is an intense effort in respect of breaking the resistance in the public opinion. They imagine that the people would -supposedly- say; "Wow, what a sympathetic person Abdullah Ocalan actually is! What a nice person he is! Look, he wants the goodness of our nation, he is putting an end to terror and anarchy. Even the Prime Minister failed to put an end to it, the government couldn't do it, the world couldn't stop it, but Abdullah Öcalan is actually putting an end to it. So this man is the real leader." PKK is masterminding a plot to create such a mindset, in its own twisted way and this is very unskillfully and very badly done. And this plot is masterminded in the English secret service. This is a project, a plot put forth by some "vigilant" secret service members of the UK. And now many people are looking at this plot with hope. As a matter of fact what should be done here is to develop an attitude against this very quickly through scientific struggle and to alert the people. All parties should cooperate, all Muslims should cooperate. We should not let any kind of separation or break up, we should want the unity of Islam altogether in harmony and also adopt a worldwide attitude against PKK. Apart from this, one should under no condition believe the slackening propaganda that has been carried out.

Hi,I'm working with a client who currently has two domains. Instead of just redirecting domain A to domain B, the whole site has been duplicated. Not sure why their previous web developer set it up this way as it seems like a messy way of setting things up: SEOgets diluted and two sites need to be maintained. What would be the benefits?
Anyway, I am building a new site for my client and simply want to redirect domain B to domain A. The site only exists at domain A. I can easily set this up, however I'm concerned that all the domain B pages that have been indexed by Google will now return 404 errors.
Is there a way to redirect all the domain B pages to domain A? Do I simply do this on the hosting company's cPanel OR do I need to set up a rewrite file of some sort?
Copy/Paste in .htaccess file of domain B and change newdomain.com to domain A
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newdomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
You could also make a landing or intro page for each domain that links to your main site but also can be used to post some more content that is optimized for the keywords of that specific domain.
No they won't. If you do a 301 redirect from each page in B to the corresponding page in A, then they won't generate 404s. Furthermore, any page rank that B previously enjoyed will now pass to A.
Correct. Everything he said.
I have always been wondering that is there any difference between redirecting one of your domain to another using .htaccess and the redirecting function provided by the domain provider?
I always assumed the domain provider just inserts the htaccess code for you. Im 99% sure thats the case.

Couple arrested in connection with residential break-in
August 8, 2013
A man who pulled over to let a vehicle pass him on his narrow country lane Sunday afternoon was startled to spot several items he recognized in the back — a weed eater and a leaf blower that belonged to him.
The owner of the residence in the 10000 block of Dawkins Lane apparently interrupted the burglary in progress, finding his door open and his house ransacked, according to dispatch reports. He called at about 4 p.m. to report that a man and a woman were in the grey or blue Isuzu and left heading toward Allison Ranch Road.
As a Nevada County Sheriff's deputy responded, the vehicle drove by, but the deputy was unable to immediately turn around, Sheriff Keith Royal said. A deputy in a second unit also saw the vehicle and saw someone throw the weed eater out the window, Royal said.
A be-on-the-lookout advisory was issued for the Isuzu, which was eventually located in the Kmart parking lot on West McKnight Way in Grass Valley.
A man identified as Michael Wayne Roberts, 52, was in the parking lot and had the keys to the vehicle in his possession, Royal said. The female suspect, identified as 34-year-old Melissa Renee Robertson, was located nearby. The suspects reportedly were identified by the victim.
The leaf blower and other items, including jewelry, were found in the vehicle, Royal said.

Roberts was arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary and was booked into county jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. Robertson, who initially gave a fake name, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary and criminal conspiracy and was being held without bail.

Did you know?
Stellenbosch is known as the 'city of oaks' because of all its oak trees, which were planted by its founder, the early Dutch governor, Simon van der Stel.
Overture restaurant consistently makes it onto the list of one of the best dining experiences on offer in South Africa, and for good reason.
Situated in Stellenbosch, home to some of the finest restaurants in the country, Overture has claimed a name for itself mainly because of the excellent and original dishes constructed by celebrity chef, Bertus Basson, and his counterpart, Craig Cormack.
Basson doesn't hold back on the dining experience and, while he is happy to experiment, traditional classic cooking methods still shine through. The menu changes to reflect the seasons, and if it's not in season there's little chance that Basson and his team will consider including it on the menu.
If you are visiting during the summer months, try the twice-baked parmesan soufflé made with parmesan cream and beetroot variations, or sample the cauliflower risotto, charred baby leak, Paradyskloof pine rings and ricotta paired with a delightful Mimosa Chardonnay 2009. For your main course, what about the matured entrecote (a cut of beef) or ox tongue, with pumpkin, gem squash and pomme cocotte (potatoes cooked in butter), with a bottle of Hidden Valley Gems 2008? Finish it all off with an almond and apple tart with a crème anglaise, raisin purée and cinnamon ice-cream. (And that's just the lunch menu...)
On offer is a four or five-course chef's menu and an eight-course tasting menu, with the option of wine-pairing which allows you to taste a different wine with each course, carefully selected by the sommelier.
Dining is unhurried, as it should be. The restaurant has glass windows to let in the incredible views of the Hidden Valley and the open kitchen gives an air of festivity. You can enjoy a wine tasting at the Hidden Valley wine tasting centre. You need to book ahead, as Basson's culinary skills are in demand.

My assignment is to work with North Carolina Riverkeepers who monitor hog pollution and its consequences in North Carolina. I do that by helping to document such pollution by air, ground and water. Over the past 16 years more than 80,000 pictures and 100s of hours of video have been compiled. This documentation presents a clear and convincing picture of the environmental problems associated with industrial hog pollution. The Waterkeeper Alliance and its licensed Riverkeepers, Baykeepers, Soundkeepers and Coastkeepers use this evidence in bringing citizen enforcement actions against the hog industry and others who are destroying our nation's waterways.
There are now approximately 2,500 industrial swine facilities raising 10,000,000 hogs in North Carolina's coastal plain. This is a radical change from conditions that existed prior to the mid-1980s. Then, there were approximately 24,000 family farmers raising a little over 2,000,000 hogs. Based upon a study of Dr. Mark Sobsey of the University of North Carolina that compared hog to human waste, these hogs are producing more fecal matter in Eastern North Carolina each day than is produced by all the citizens (combined) in North Carolina, California, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, New Hampshire, and North Dakota. This incredible amount of fecal matter is constantly being flushed from the confinement buildings where these animals are kept under what are often grossly inhumane conditions. Once flushed, the feces and urine from these animals is stored in the open environment in huge earthen sewage pits called lagoons. These lagoons constantly discharge to the surrounding environment. As the lagoons fill up, the waste is sprayed onto heavily ditched fields under the pretext of growing crops. It is a waste disposal system that results in runoff to the public trust waters. It is a major polluter of the air (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and methane gases), ground water and wetlands, streams, creeks and rivers.

Hearing test (audiometry). In this test, conducted by a hearing specialist (audiologist), you hear sounds directed to one ear at a time.

CHANGING hearts and minds has not been a simple task for Dougie Freedman in his continued efforts to usher in a modern era at Wanderers.
Squad rotation, split training shifts, possession-based football – even compulsory yoga sessions have come as a culture shock in some quarters since the Scot walked through the doors back in October to succeed Owen Coyle.
Although moves towards a different, even continental, way of thinking had already been made by interim management team Jimmy Phillips and Sammy Lee for a short spell prior to his arrival, the scale and speed of Freedman's revolution behind the scenes has possibly gone un-noticed by the fans, whose attention has been firmly fixed on underperformance in the league table.
Some aspects, such as style of play, and his oft-maligned rotation policy, have been hard to miss.
Other alterations behind the closed gates at Euxton have been less publicised, yet their impacts have changed the general feel of the football club and shaken up much of the established order.
But whether or not you prefer the old school approach and values favoured by previous regimes, or welcome a new era, one thing is crystal clear when dealing with the savvy former Palace boss; he has brought a game-plan with him from London, and he is sticking to it.
Despite becoming the first manager since the war to remain unbeaten in his first six games, progress in league position terms has been limited. And for that reason, Freedman is yet to gain the full momentum of support from the terraces.
Under his tutelage Wanderers generally look more robust defensively and are now coming to terms with a more patient brand of football. Marrying the two together has been the difficult part.
Freedman inherited a club still suffering from a monstrous relegation hangover but feels he is now making enough progress to start reversing the slide and begin moving up the table. Indeed, he even stated this week that a late dash for the play-offs wasn't beyond the realms of possibility.
As a player, the Glaswegian fell through the trap door from the top flight at Palace and today's opponents Forest, and knows full well what impact it can have on a squad of footballers.
"If you get relegated, the chances are that you haven't been near the top of the league that year, so your style of play has to change accordingly," he explained.
"Then when you drop down you have to adopt completely the opposite approach with the same players. All of a sudden, the onus is on you to win games.
"That, I think, is the key to teams being relegated and not bouncing straight back up.
"Since I came to the club I have tried to change some things, some attitudes. We haven't won as many games as I'd have liked but we haven't lost many either – there have been a lot of draws in there.
"But that is what I have tried to change because I have experienced it as a player. And most importantly, it can take time."
Freedman is currently studying for his UEFA Pro Licence in Scotland alongside legendary Everton striker Duncan Ferguson, and his studious approach to coaching also reflects earlier experiences in Italy, where he spent time with AC Milan and Palermo to gain his earlier badges. From his first game against Cardiff City, Freedman demonstrated a willingness to chop and change according to the opposition. And though the squad rotation approach does not appeal to everyone, it is undoubtedly the path he has chosen to tread.
"I just think that in the intensity of the modern day game you absolutely have to rotate your squad," he said. "It's unfortunate that the more experienced players in their late 20s and early 30s don't quite understand that as much. They are a little less patient and think they should be playing 46 games.
"It's difficult for me, as a coach, to understand that.
"Tyrone has done very well over the last three or four games. We took him out against Watford because I wanted to try a different way of playing and I thought that Sam Ricketts would be better suited.
"I think the whole squad – everyone, in fact - has got to understand that I have got to play certain players in certain games."
Freedman admitted to making a mistake recently in asking Keith Andrews to continue playing despite a reoccurring Achilles problem. The Irishman has now been sidelined because of a thigh strain associated with his original injury.
That experience has underpinned the manager's resolve to use his squad – now boosted by the return of some of its key players such as Mark Davies, Stuart Holden, David Wheater and, soon, Matt Mills, to its full in the final third of the season, "I made a mistake by playing Keith for the last couple of games because he had an injury," Freedman told The Bolton News. "I have to learn from that.
"I do want my team to play in a fresh and enthusiastic way. People will come out for tactical reasons, rest, or injuries, but there will be a reason.
"You do come across certain sections of the fans wanting their players to play, people who have opinions on who should be playing and that we should have the same starting 11 for the last 46 games, it's mind-blowing to me as a coach how people can think that way.
"I think in such a way that we have got a squad, so you might as well use it."

Meh, Android have also had the same thing for a long time now.
Sorry, but Mundie is right. Everyone was disappointed in apples lack of new features on the 4S. I mean, an upgrades this or that is great. But they did focus on something that Microsoft and android has had. And whether you can call Siri a game changer or not has yet to be seen. I mean, the thing is still in beta and it barely does anything useful. Overall, I agree with Mundie.
The WP7 voice search works great, which is what confuses me so much. I also have to laugh a bit about Siri being in beta. Still stealing ideas from Google by releasing a beta product? :P
funfact: everybody knows siri but no one knows their 1 year old version of it. even though i believe its true. but what does it say about their pr strategy
The truth is, while there has been "voice commands" available on phones for a few years, there has not been anything available that is quite as advanced as Siri - given, Siri is still in Beta and the servers go down about once every few weeks.The first thing that comes to mind every time I hear any of the WinPhones reps talk is, and I quote: "whine whine whine... Whiney Whine Whine. Our platform is no where near as good as Android and/or iOS... false claims, false claims, lies lies lies... and slander slander slander."Yep, that about sums it up. They need to knock off all of the smut talk and actually do something. Pointing fingers and slinging insults does not win back market share. What complete and utter crybaby losers! Just put up or shut up Microsoft! And given their track record, they probably are not going to put up or shut up.And the bit about focusing on Siri to take attention away from the lack of "new features". There are only so many things a phone, laptop, tablet, and/or desktop can do. What do they expect? -- a can opener enable iPhone?What awesome features do the WinPhones have that the iPhone 4S doesn't? Huh?I rest my case.tim/klouud
Tellme on a Windows phone and Voice Commands on an android device are a freaking joke. I just tried all three devices right here in front of me the only device that understood what I wanted was Siri on iPhone 4s. I wanted to call home. How simple. Let them keep denying Apple there kudo's and APPL stock will continue to soak and make the competition looks as silly as there inferior products stated above.
"Android, Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, United States in October, 2003 by Andy Rubin...to develop, in Rubin's words "...smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner's location and preferences". Despite the obvious past accomplishments of the founders and early employees, Android Inc. operated secretly, revealing only that it was working on software for mobile phones."
"Google purchased the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., in 2005."
"The operating system was unveiled with the iPhone at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 9, 2007, and released in June of that year."
Get your facts straight before you comment, otherwise it makes you look like a dumbass, dumbass.
Actually, the Windows Phone Tell Me is really advanced, almost like Siri.
So, you're comparing the founding of Android (in 2005) with the unveiling of the first iPhone OS in 2007? So, you think they developed the entire OS in 2007? Or 2006? How about 2005? I guarantee they were working on the iPhone before the founding of Android. So, before you start calling people a dumbass, I'd get YOUR facts straight before you comment. I hereby retract your initial dumbass proclamation and transfer it back to the originator. Dumbass.
Edit: iPhone development actually began in 2005, as well (iPhone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). The same year Android was founded. So, the claim that iOS was ripping off android is baseless.
Edit again: I realized that Android was founded on 2003, not 2005 as I stated. I hereby take the dumbass title upon myself.
Lets start with this: Google (Eric Schmidt) stole their idea for Android from Apple. Thats a fact.
Don't believe it? use Google to search "Android before the iPhone" in images. Know what you'll find?
You'll find an Android phone that looks like... err... a Blackberry? - you damn right. Because
all, and I repeat, all Google can do is steal other companies ideas and call it "innovation".
Google wouldn't know innovation if it mushroom- slapped em across the face. But the theft and blatant ripping off
doesn't stop there, no, not by a longshot: Google is being sued by Oracle, and is going to get its *** handed to it in court.
Why? heres the kicker: They blatantly stole Oracle's Java code and implemented it (the actual source code, what morons!)
In - you guessed it - Android! And one more fun tidbit, fanboy, since Im having so much fun schoolin' ya:
Google has to pay Microsoft 5 bucks (a lot of money, don't you try to shrug this off) on every Android device sold, because of -
you guessed it - A copyright infringement Lawsuit settlement! And now they are looking towards a webOS guy (Matias Duarte) to save em.
Ha! Wow Google! You guys are worse than Samsung!
And WP7? Microsoft? Are you taking hallucinogens?
Microsoft has been an utter failure in everything outside of PC's and the Xbox 360 since it entered the Millenium!
If it weren't for its cash cows (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), MS would be up ****'s creek without arms, legs or a damn paddle.
It even messed up on its own bread and butter - Vista, an operating system! How lazy and incompetent can you get??
Hows the zune working out for ya? oh yeah, thats dead. How are tablets workin out for ya, it was you guys who originally thought of it,
wasn't it? lets remember where MS got its start: Bill Gates, a guy who stole every piece of software he ever laid eyes on, from Dos to Windows.
Where did he get the idea for windows? - From Apple, of course.
And Apple are damned thieves too! Without Xerox PARC there would be no Mac OS.
You see where Im getting at, fanboy?
How completely uneducated and juvenile your comments are?
Go read a book or ten, and get back at me. I can do this all day.
Wether you like iOS, android, or ect... Who cares as long as your happy "F"-it
Just be happy we have all this technology
And to all these people with confetti for brains, talkin' 'bout "oh, Android has that", or "windows has that":
(i'd be saying this regardless of the company who owns the tech, it just so happens to be Apple who owns Siri)
Siri is light years away from Android and Windows voice interface solutions. Have the words Artificial Intelligence
Not dawned on you yet? Do you need it pantomimed? or are you struggling with understanding the concept? (clearly).
This isn't saying mundane, simple phrases to your phone like "Call Annie" or "search for Mickey D's" - This is telling your phone
to set your alarm clock, set a calendar reminder, set a geotag location based reminder, read a text message to you, reply for you, do I really need to go over the list to drive the point across? Well, I refuse, damn it.
Get off of your couch, get into your car, head to the nearest Apple store (I dont care if your allergic, you will do it!),
Pick up an iPhone 4s Demo model, and talk to Siri. then compare it to your Android phone.
if there is an ounce of objectivity in your body, you will realize how dead wrong you were.

We all know athletes go to the gym to work out their bodies, but did you know many of them are also working out their brains, too? Top athletic performance comes from more than just physical training, so more and more athletes are aiming to get that extra edge through peak performance training of the brain.
Dr. Sanford J. Silverman is a licensed psychologist who specializes in helping people "work out" their brains, clinically referred to as peak performance training. This peak performance training helps athletes improve their mental focus, which in turn boosts their physical abilities to perform successfully.
This training does not solely benefit athletes, but business professionals also sharpen their performance in the office through peak performance training techniques. The strengthening of metal focus provides individuals with the ability to function more efficiently regardless of what their goals and profession may be.
Such training occurs through the use of advanced technologies and coaching by Silverman. He utilizes techniques such as neurofeedback, interactive metronome, quantitative EEG brain maps and S.M.A.R.T. brain games. Although the names of the programs sound complicated, the activities are simple for the trainee to understand. Each method works on multiple levels to observe brain patterns, and with Silverman's coaching, individuals are able to use the technologies to improve their brain's performance abilities.
The interactive metronome process involves the individual clapping on beat with chimes he or she hears for an extended period of time. As the patient is geared up with headphones and plates on their hands, he or she claps as they hear the tone, while their progress is visible on the computer screen in front of them. The placement of a circle on the screen reveals how close to the beat the individual is on each clap.
Other training activities include playing video games without a controller. The patient improves metal focus by being hooked up to a computer that measures the brainwaves. The patient controls the boats in a boat race video game with his or her brain and mental focus. A computer screen to the left of the computer with the video game depicts the brainwave patterns revealing the patient's success in mental focus on the video game.
These training programs may seem like trivial activities, but they in fact improve the brain's ability to focus in many ways. This peak performance training influences the brain on multiple levels, improving the recipients' work-life, athletic performance and personal relationships with one's self and others. The programs also improve the individual's confidence, self-esteem and ability to multitask.
The most crucial aspect of Dr. Silverman's peak performance training is the individual tailoring of a program for every person who comes in. He hosts an initial consultation with each participant before the training begins. This meeting provides all the necessary information to develop a specific and beneficial training program for that particular individual.
With the consultation complete and Silverman's personalized training plan in hand, the patient then comes in for one or two sessions per week to conduct the training. During these sessions, the doctor will utilize a certain combination of the brain technology techniques previously mentioned.
Josh Otero, longtime patient of Dr. Silverman's said that the training has really helped him become more efficient and effective.
"I'm more aware of what I bring to the table in my professional life, and I'm much more confident and comfortable in interacting with others," Otero says.
He also says that the training has helped him in three major ways, including his professional career, athletic performance and his personal life.
"It helps me train better in my running; it's made me much more patient with my kids, and I've been able to streamline my business by focusing on the clients that will bring the most potential for me," Otero says.
Dr. Silverman's Center For Peak Performance has helped hundreds of individuals like Josh Otero improve their mental fitness. Silverman says his goal is to train people to have clearer direction in life in order to achieve their goals to their highest potential, whatever they may be.

PLANS to revamp Bromsgrove's market as part of the town centre regeneration work will be discussed at a meeting of Bromsgrove councillors this week.
At the last meeting of Bromsgrove District Council's cabinet, held earlier this month, a report on the market was considered.
New terms and conditions for market traders were agreed by senior councillors who also decided to recommend the purchase of new market stalls, costing £60,000 funded through reserves and balances.
After reconstruction work on the new High Street is completed the plan is to have 33 individual stalls provided to traders, while all pitches have already been successfully allocated with only small additional pitches left.
It is being proposed to have a new dedicated market where the High Street is at its widest at the north end of High Street, near The Strand.
This will have space for a further 14 market stalls, with the area suitable for expansion for speciality markets including the Farmers Markets, Food Festivals, and antique fairs.
An officers report recognised that there had been an absence of a comprehensive policy for the market and the physical layout of the High Street, which led to the market being "slightly disorganised" with no pattern and traders spreading goods across the highway.
This is being addressed with the new High Street featuring dedicated market zones, with stall set out in pairs, ensuring lines of sight are maintained for pedestrians and CCTV.
Stalls are proposed to be uniform in appearance, green and white in colour, featuring the council crest and Better Bromsgrove motive, and designed to be in a pop-up marquee style to minimise labour costs in the setup and dismantling of the market.
The street market recommendations will be considered at the meeting of the full council, being held at the Council House on Wednesday evening, July 16.
The market originally moved to High Street in March 2009, following the closure of the Market Hall.
It then moved from the High Street earlier this year for the construction work, and is currently being held on market days - Tuesdays, Friday and Saturdays - at a temporary position near ASDA supermarket.
• Meanwhile Worcestershire County Council is reporting that the construction of the new High Street is progressing well.
Councillor Anthony Blagg, county council for Bromsgrove Central, said: "The High Street improvement project has progressed well and completion of this key work, funded by Worcestershire County Council and Bromsgrove District Council, is due for completion in time for a series of events in and around the High Street planned for the August Bank Holiday weekend.
"Contractors Griffiths will continue to install new paving and other street furniture as the end date nears.
"I'd like to thank both residents and traders for their patience and support during this scheme."

A Residential Hostel for Female Christian Students in Pakistan
Friday, December 20, 2013
Project Code: 328-07-19
In Pakistan, obtaining education is still a major problem, with roughly 50% of the country's nearly 190 million inhabitants still unable to read or write. In Christian families especially, most of whom belong to the poorest levels of society, children very often have to go out to work in order to help their parents survive such extreme poverty. Christian children are often discriminated against and disadvantaged in the state-run schools and face many obstacles in trying to gain admission to higher education. Archbishop Joseph Coutts, the chairman of the Pakistani Catholic Bishops' Conference, explains, "In certain subjects, where a given average mark or score is required, Muslim students can gain extra points by attending instruction in the Koran, with the result that they can then gain admittance to university. Christians, of course, do not have this opportunity. AChristian name is often enough to ensure that a candidate is refused entry to a course of studies. In the state schools, Christian pupils are often insulted, unfairly treated or pressured to convert to Islam by their teachers."Illiteracy is particularly high among girls. This fact was highlighted recently in the West by the case of 16-year-old Malala Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban for campaigning for the education of girls and who was a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize as a result. In recent years, in northwest Pakistan in particular, Islamic extremists have destroyed dozens of schools, targeting girls' schools in particular.The Catholic Church runs many schools in Pakistan. In the Diocese of Faisalabad alone, the Church maintains 82 schools. And Catholic women religious are in the forefront of the drive to provide education to girls. In the village of Chak 6/4-L (many villages in Pakistan are known only by numbers), the Sisters of the Holy Family already maintain a residential home for 45 girls whose families live in the remote desert regions and who would otherwise have no opportunity to attend school. For even where schools do exist, they are often so far away that the girls would have to walk for miles, which is something extremely dangerous, above all for Christian girls in Pakistan. Again and again there have been cases of rape and abduction. Now the Holy Family Sisters would like to build another hostel, for female students who wish to pursue their studies beyond Year 10 and take their higher secondary level (A Level) exams. Many of these girls are extremely gifted and the Sisters would like to give them the chance to continue at school and take their higher exams. A number of these young girls are also hoping to becoming religious themselves after completing their schooling. Consequently, assisting them in their education is also an investment in the future of the Church in Pakistan, a future in which the women religious will always play a vital role. In this society, where there is such strict segregation between the roles of men and women, their work is of incalculable value, above all for women and children. Such well educated and soundly formed religious Sisters can provide excellent role models for young girls and women and help them to discover a sense of their own dignity and of the value of a good education, thereby opening up new avenues for them in the future.ACN has promised a contribution of $9,400 towards the cost of this project. Will you help build this hostel for female Christian students in Pakistan?

Fund managers are in the unhappy position of being able to see the oncoming train but unable to move because their hands are tied. Even though they think climate change is a source of investment risk, their short-sighted clients are not letting them do anything about it.
According to research by FairPensions, nearly 90 per cent of fund managers think climate change is an investment issue, but feel they can't do anything because of short-term analysis and lack of demand from pension funds.

After a historic overhaul of the California correctional system last year, local officials have taken a more prominent role in deterring released offenders from returning to jail.
While the pressing need to pare a drastically overcrowded state prison system was the driving force behind the inmate-realignment plan, officials also hoped that giving more responsibility to local law-enforcement agencies would help address a state recidivism rate that has hovered around 70 percent.
In the year after realignment's rollout, the arrival of new prisoners in local jails and probation offices may have grabbed most of the headlines, but a patchwork of local rehabilitation efforts and community programs will be just as key in determining whether realignment ultimately is a success or a failure.
Leading the way on the local rehabilitation side of realignment has been the Orange County Probation Department, whose officers and supervisors determine what services are needed to assist those released to their charge, whom they call the post-release community supervision population.
Probation has 31 officers, three supervisors, and a division and assistant director focused solely on offenders supervised under realignment. Some officers have been embedded with law-enforcement agencies, including the Santa Ana, Anaheim and Garden Grove police departments and the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
"Our goal is to hold offenders responsible and get them on the right track," Chief Probation Officer Steve Sentman said. "Some of them need to serve time in custody to get there. Others don't need the custody, but need the services that our department and other county agencies provide."
Everyone released in Orange County under the realignment guidelines – specifically felons who served time for "nonviolent, nonserious and non-sex-related crimes" – is required to check in with officers at Probation's Santa Ana office within 48 hours of release.
On-duty officers within Probation's post-release division update personal information, including fingerprints and photographs, which is shared with police agencies in the communities in which those released plan to live. Health care technicians are available to assess substance-abuse or mental health issues.
Once the individuals are accounted for, the more difficult job of making sure they don't end up behind bars again begins.
At a glance, the classroom nestled in a nondescript Santa Ana building looks like a typical high school or college facility, as a group of 30 or so students converse with an instructor while working through fraction problems. Several other students huddle in front of a computer, working on a project to create classroom "currency."
The students are part of the Center for Opportunity, Reentry and Education, or CORE, a program created and run by the Orange County probation and education departments to give offenders the educational and life skills to turn around their lives.
The center, which can accommodate up to 40 people, requires a minimum 30-day commitment from its participants, who are required to attend from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
As realignment increases the local focus on rehabilitation, the CORE center has become a model for future "day-reporting centers" envisioned in the county plan.
Along with allowing participants to craft much of the program themselves, CORE also focuses on having successful participants at the center mentor new arrivals.
Among those success stories is Marvin Thomas, who after being released from jail decided to turn around his life.
Thomas said he came to CORE to earn his high-school diploma and to learn how to enter the job market. Now, a short time before finishing the program, Thomas is looking ahead to studying automotive or motorcycle technology at the college level.
"I feel great. Coming from where I started from before, it was a struggle for me," Thomas said. "They allow you to express yourself. They don't judge or discriminate."
On July 30, the first Orange County day-reporting center for realignment offenders was opened in Santa Ana, near the Probation Department offices and Civic Center.
Like CORE, the day-reporting center focuses on education and employment training, and it is expected to eventually accommodate up to 140 participants.
At an open house shortly after its opening, officials from BI Inc., which runs the center, gave a tour to representatives of local law-enforcement agencies, touting a "reward-based program" that requires offenders to regularly report to the facility while taking part in treatment, training, education and testing.
Of course, not every offender is ready or willing to turn around his life, and for those unable to abide by the terms of their release, the realignment changes have provided tools for probation officers.
"There are a myriad of informal sanctions," Chief Deputy Probation Officer Chris Bieber said. "It can be as simple as a verbal reprimand or having them write a self-reflective letter to the probation officer. We can enroll them in a 'thinking for a change' behavioral-treatment class that we have at our day-reporting centers. We can implement increased reporting or increased compliance checks."
Among Probation's new tools under realignment is the flash incarceration, which allows the department to jail probationers for up to 10 days for violations.
While the ability to temporarily send someone to jail without a prior court hearing has drawn concern in some quarters, probation officials argue that it gives them the flexibility to punish offenders without the disruption a longer term behind bars would bring to their lives.
"If you can get the same impact to the same person and maybe they don't lose their housing, their job and what little support and traction they have," Sentman said.
While the larger impacts of realignment on the jail system and the local crime rate are a concern for local law-enforcement agencies, most agree that, given enough financial resources, local agencies are better suited than the state to provide rehabilitation services.
"I have so much more faith in the Orange County Probation Department than I do the state Department of Corrections," said Tustin police Chief Scott Jordan, who heads the Orange County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff's Association. "I think we are just more responsible, and we are held to a higher standard."

Hi Everyone,
However I have a small problem which is a little irritating and am wondering if one of you might point me in the right direction to resolve this problem.
The problem: Whenever I refresh my window or change pages the interface first displays the font-size in the size stored in the css modules and then my font-size script runs and the desired font-size is displayed from the value stored in the cookie. This causes a blinking in the interface - first showing the font-size from css and then the font-size in the cookie.
I'm using  where the function font-sizer() changes the font-size in the interface to the user's desired font-size in the cookie. However, this function is running one step too late, i.e. right after the css font-size is displayed in the interface.
Would it be possible to inhibit the 1st display (css version) and display only the font-sizer() version? This would eliminate the blinking.
If this could be done in either javascript or jquery I would be interested in any information you might offer in order to fix this blinking problem.
Thank you in advance for your help.George
I think that as long as the function doesn't reference or alter the DOM and only the CSS you could call it in the .
The trade off would be a slower initial page load.
Thanks for taking interest in my question Mittineague . Could you please tell me what you meant when you said, "you could call it in the ". Call what?
Thanks again.
To me it's a better way than using inline (in the tag) javascript anyway, but something like

Iwo Jima Flag Raising
February 23, 1945 — Iwo Jima, Japan
Corporal Harlon Block served with his team to raise the American flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. Raised in a pacifist Seventh-day Adventist home, where killing and possessing weapons were forbidden, Iwo Jima seemed a very unlikely place for him to end up. He was born in Yorktown, Texas, in 1924, where he led his football team to the Conference Championship. Harlon volunteered for the Marine Corps and became a member of the Parachute Replacement Battallion. Later, he was assigned to the 5th Marine Division, led by Sgt. Mike Strank, and with these men, he traveled to Iwo Jima. Harlon Block was Sgt. Mike Strank's second-in-command and took over when Mike died. His leadership position would be brief, however, as Harlon was killed by a mortar blast only hours after Strank on March 1, 1945. He was barely 21. A comrade's son, James Bradley, later wrote, "It is doubtful that in his short life Harlon Block ever kissed a girl." This young man came from a background that didn't support war, but his duty to his country led him to give his life for freedom. He is buried in Harlingen, Texas, beside the Iwo Jima Monument.

Eeeek! Aaaak! Google Glass is turning into a movable feast of porn! Actually, it isn't. The funniest part of this week's XXX-rated anxiety attack: Only 17 of the more than 2,000 folks beta-testing Google Glass had downloaded the porn app that got people so worked up, says Jesse Adams, a spokesman for Mikandi, the megaporn marketplace that briefly hosted an app called, um, Tits and Glass.
Of course, Google Glass isn't even for sale, but it's such an irresistible target that the search giant is spending time knocking down rumor after rumor: Google Glass will be equipped with facial recognition -- privacy doomed! Uh, no. At least not yet. And even if it were built into Glass, facial recognition technology is still far from reliable on consumer-grade gear, making it next to impossible for anyone using it to identify a random person.
[ InfoWorld's Galen Gruman explains why there's much more utility to Google Glass than the popular media portray. | Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. ]
Google isn't the only tech giant taking unfair shots this week. In a much less sensational and more nuanced turn of events, Apple is defending itself against the Department of Justice, which is taking time out from persecuting news organizations. The trust-busters at the DOJ are after Apple for allegedly fixing the price of e-books. Never mind that Apple's entry into the market whittled down Amazon.com's monopolistic slice of the e-book pie by about one-third, from 90 percent to a still hefty 60 percent.
I have real concerns about Google's serial invasions of user privacy and about some of Apple's actions in the marketplace, particularly its spiteful, anti-Android jihad. But neither company is guilty as charged in the tech press this week, and you are well advised to chill out. Maybe have a cocktail or two, or -- if it's all really getting to you -- ask your doc for a Xanax.
Google shuts the door on wearable porn
If you've followed Google for any length of time, you know that many of its products are works in progress, often pushed out the door in an unfinished state and labeled "beta," sometimes for years. After several conversations with both Mikandi and Google, it's clear to me that events moved faster than Google could manage.
There's been a lot of back and forth about who did what to whom, but here's what happened: Some product person at Mikandi came to the obvious conclusion that porn, always one of the Web's killer apps, would play very well on wearable displays.
Mikandi checked out Google's online developer policies and didn't see anything that explicitly banned explicit content, so the porn site went ahead and made an announcement about Tits and Glass last week. Here's where the course of events is a bit murky: Mikandi says Google revised the terms of use after it made its announcement. Google said it did so before. It doesn't matter which is true. The point is that Google had no intention of allowing Mikandi to move ahead with its plans and put a stop to it pretty quickly.
Mikandi then figured it could use Glass to make porn videos (talk about up close and personal), but Google has blocked the company's access to the API, Adams tells me.

A9 TV; 7 November 2011
Age, beauty and everything are feelings inspired in our hearts by Almighty Allah. Otherwise we would know none of these. Thanks be to Allah. Thanks be to Allah for giving us the concept of beauty. Thanks be to Allah for giving us the concept of handsomeness. We might never have known it. Everything might have been lovely, but we might never have known. Fresh water might have seemed bitter to us. Food might have caused unpleasant sensations in us. Roasting meat smells very delicious. Apples and oranges and everything are delightful. But our bodies might have been repelled by those same smells. Allah has created our perceptions in perfect form, masha'Allah. But these smells are pleasant; ultimately, they are the vibration of molecules. Allah represents the vibration of molecules as the blessing of a pleasant smell or taste in our brains, masha'Allah.
(An answer to the question "Is there any objection to taking Christians and Jews as friends?")
For instance, if I say, "I believe in the Trinity," may Allah forbid. That is what the Qur'an forbids. I can love them as people. Of course I can be friends in human terms. How else can you tell people about Islam and the Qur'an? This is a very foolish idea. Allah has created him as a Christian. Why should I be his enemy? Why should I hate him? Of course I must love him. The same with the Jews. They are from the line of the prophets. Why should I hate them? I pray for their happiness, and for them to be Muslims. Why should I hate them?
(About Mr. Adnan Oktar's female followers)
I look at your cleanliness, I see it in various places, on certain channels and out on the streets. I see coarsened young people, coarsened young women. Coarsened and wild like animals. They know nothing of kindness and good manners. They are wild like animals. Their facial expressions are savage. Their talk is unbalanced and they are suspicious and restless and tense and ready to lie at a moment's notice. They are always false and unbalanced. Then I look at Muslims and they are pure, chaste, modest, sweet, polite and respectful.
(About the argument over not adopting Christians and Jews as friends)
Allah tells us not to be friends with the idolaters. You must not be friends with immoral people. Or people with no faith. In other words, there are immoral Christians and immoral Jews. As there are immoral Muslims. Will you take them as friends? Take the immoral man who rapes his own daughter. Will you be his friend? What will you do? You will stay away from him. Christians and Jews may also be immoral. That applies in all societies. That is what the argument is all about. It does not mean we should not be friends with innocent Christians who cause no trouble for anyone. Because that would conflict with verses. Because Allah tells us in verses that we can marry them. And marriage means that you have taken someone as a friend. You share the same pillow. You call her, "My love" and "my darling." You embrace her. She is now your wife. The verse says you can marry Jews and Christians. How can someone tell his wife he is not her friend when he marries her? One must consider the meaning of the verse. One must consider what the verse means. The verse tells one not to go along with their false actions and beliefs. But Almighty Allah does not say, "Behave with hostility toward an innocent Christian or Jew who minds his own business." Because Allah tells us not to be friends with the idolaters. But they never mention them, for some reason. What are the idolaters? All kinds of immoral or bigoted types who ascribe equals to Allah. Can you be friends with a sinner? No, you will stand against him. If he is immoral and cruel and oppressive, you will stay away from him. It is like that.
You should interpret verses with verses. You do not know how to interpret verses with verses. So are you denying other verses? Look, Allah says you will find those who say they are Christians to be closer to you. Would you deny that? Allah says we can marry Christians and Jews. Would you deny that? The Qur'an refers to those Christians who behave wrongly. To those who attack Islam and the Qur'an, not to Christians who mind their own business. You do not look to see what the verse says next. Have you read the next part of it? No. They reject the other verses. They pick and choose. They say, "I agree with this part of the verse, but not the other part." How many times have I made this clear? Why did our Prophet (pbuh) take a Christian wife? Was he her enemy? Did he marry her because he was her enemy? Why did our Prophet (pbuh) marry a Jewish woman? Because he was her enemy? Maria is our mother. We respect her memory. She was a Christian. She was a Christian when our Prophet (pbuh) married her. Do you know better than our Prophet (pbuh)? Do you know better than Allah (may Allah forbid!)? There is a verse that reads, "do not approach the prayer when you are drunk." Now these people concentrate only on the first part, or only on the second. If you take away the reference to alcohol, it says you should not pray at all. You have to take the verse as a whole, in context. You must interpret verses with other verses. But they do not consider other verses.
(In answer to the questions "Could you tell us about the moment of death and afterward?" and "Could you tell us something more about the reality of matter?")
I have already set out the reality of matter. I had begun to set it out. A brother of ours from daily Yeni Asya wrote in, Ümit Şimşek Hodja, I think. "He awakens a feeling of terror in people, it frightens them," he said. As if to say, "Would it not be best if the Hodja did not discuss this matter?" I have heard that from many people. "It evokes an intense feeling of terror," they say. So I then enquired what I ought to do. I said I could describe it in a more moderate way. In a gentle way. But people who fully understand the reality are terrified. They fall to their knees from fear of Allah. A huge terror may indeed enfold them. That is why I want to describe it gently and moderately. That is what I will do from 2012 on. Otherwise, if I wanted and by Allah's leave, I could describe it in such a way they would feel it in their own bodies. People have such a mechanism. They can feel it and realize it in their own bodies.
Allah sets everything out in the Qur'an. But He sometime describes things symbolically. He sometimes speaks of the fires of hell, for instance. When He speaks of the fires of hell, I think of molten metal or flames spouting forth. I think of a person leaping up and down if he has burned his hand. It is impossible even to speak of someone falling into fire. One loses the ability to reason and literally goes into shock. Yet people in hell talk quite calmly. They even show off. They behave badly. They still insist on not believing in Allah even there. Their strange behavior persists even there.
But children's souls are taken long before they die. At the moment of death it is as if a veil is lifted, and one moves from one place to another, as if waking out of sleep. People are often groggy and bemused when they wake up. Hazrat Ali (pbuh) says, "it is like waking out of sleep." Indeed, people sometimes imagine they have woken up, whereas they are actually still asleep. That is the system. It is quite clear, as if one had just woken from sleep, insha'Allah. That is the reaction they make when they first wake up. That appears in the Qur'an; "Who has raised us from our place of sleep?", they say we were sleeping, we were in a sleep. They try to work out where they are. Then the unbelievers say, "Alas for us!" "This is what the All-Merciful promised us. The Messengers were telling the truth." It was true, they say. But they still continue to show off in the hereafter. They show off in the flames. In other words, it is not fire as we understand and know it. For example, Almighty Allah speaks of flames the size of camels. We do not know because it is relative. But we will understand it there. We will also see hell. All Muslims will see it. They will not enter it. But Muslims will pass by. They will see it for themselves. They will also see it as an image. They will have the opportunity to watch hell all the time, as if on a screen. But as the Qur'an says, Muslims will never be frightened or uneasy. They will be at ease right from the moment of death, when their souls are taken, and at all times thereafter. Allah gives constant guarantees on that. There are many verses about that. Allah says they will never be disturbed or made uneasy and their hearts will be at peace and at ease. But unbelievers will be stressed and terrified, the whole time. They follow the callers, and rush to where the sound comes from. The area is very large. Allah shows this to Muslims so they can enjoy it, for a change. Muslims get used to paradise once they have entered it. It becomes normal life for them. Being finite is very peculiar. It seems strange to us, doesn't it, being finite? Everyone is bemused. We know it instinctively. Being finite does not seem logical to us. Being eternal does seem normal to us. That is why people actually begin their normal lives once eternity has begun in paradise. They live their true lives. And after that such questions never enter one's mind. But faith still persists in paradise. Paradise is founded on trust in Allah. Because, may Allah forbid, a person may wonder there, "Will Allah permit me to live forever?" The believer trusts in Allah, and his heart is at peace. As you know, the Prophet Adam (pbuh) harbored doubts in. Satan told him he would not exist for ever. "There is a tree there. If you eat the fruit from it the materials in it will affect you and after that you will be eternal," he said. "What Allah said is untrue [may Allah forbid]" he said. "Go and eat that fruit, and the you will live for ever." Trust me, I am telling the truth," he said. And the Prophet Adam (pbuh) believed him. That is amazing. His wife also believed it, as did he. They went and ate. The moment they ate, Allah lifted the imaging of those garments of paradise. They then covered themselves up with the leaves of paradise. They tried to cover their bodies. Then, as you now, Allah sent them down to the dimension of this world. Then when he saw his weakness in this world, his body's natural needs and his helplessness, the Prophet Adam (pbuh) wept, he was so shaken up. He never imagined that human beings could be so helpless. He was amazed to see that feature of his body. Because he was used to there being no such thing in paradise. Then he looked at this world and everything was very harsh. Of course one develops a perfect faith and character. Then Almighty Allah took him back to paradise. We can see how essential the test is. Some people ask, "What need is there for the test? It would be better just to go to paradise direct." But it is not as you imagine. May He forbid, in that case people might still have doubts about Allah in paradise. They may not be sure that Allah keeps His word. Because the concept of virtue also exists in paradise. Punctiliousness over what is lawful and unlawful also exists in paradise. Muslims go there with the training they receive here. They still fear Allah there. They both love and fear Him. Fear of Allah does not cease in paradise. The believer will always love and fear Allah, insha'Allah.
I could go into more detail about the secret behind the death of small children. But let me just say this. They do not suffer. Let me just say that. But there is another aspect. If any of our brothers are curious about this in private conversations, I can also say this. Allah is infinitely al-Halim [The Forbearing], infinitely merciful. It is He Who teaches us mercy. It is He Who teaches us pity and forgiveness and love. We learn these things with the compassion we learn from Him. We learn them by the will of Allah, insha'Allah.
But we may encounter the flames and phenomena of hell in a way we never imagined. For example, we think of the chains of hell as being chains of metal. But we may encounter chains of a kind we never imagined. There are the gates of hell and of paradise. We think of gates as being of metal or of wood. But there may be gates of light we never imagined before. They may be dimensional gates. There may be things we had never imagined. Allah is not obliged to describe them. He just tells us to "believe." We will see when we get there. Allah has provided no detail. But He does speak of things no eyes have seen and no tongues have tasted. We do not know. These things are not such as we can fully comprehend. But it will be like waking from sleep. Once you awake it is all over, insha'Allah.
(Surat an-Nahl, 18)
"If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
We are in a sea of boundless blessings. Atoms and molecules are a blessing. Matter is a blessing. Water is a blessing, flowers are a blessing. Insects and everything are a blessing. Everything is very lovely, insha'Allah.
(About Mr. Adnan Oktar's female followers)
Allah shows the difference between the cruelty of unbelief and the radiance of faith. The light and radiance on Earth are very powerful, masha'Allah. The reflection of that light is very powerful. People see that faith produces a miracle. The profound and huge difference between manners, honesty, kindness, and beauty in the face on the one horrible, coarse spirit of unbelief appears as a miracle. Allah works a miracle. That means that lack of faith does the most unbelievable damage. I should not say unbelievable, may Allah forbid, because it is believable, saying unbelievable is just a linguistic habit. You all have the warmth and light imparted by honesty and propriety. There is a huge difference between you and shallow, showy young girls. That is why iblis [devil] and satan and the way of the dajjal [antichrist] are striving with all their might to neutralize you and me. But they have only caused your radiance to grow still further. That is all they have been able to do. They have tried all forms of torture and persecution and defamation. They have tried all forms of vile behavior. But we have always stood up to them, laughing and smiling. Our Prophet (pbuh) says that in the End Times "The dajjal will persecute and torment the Mahdi most. But just when the dajjal thinks he has achieved results, the Mahdi (pbuh) will appear before him with a smiling face." What does that mean? That will also apply to the followers of the Mahdi. And since we are also followers of the Mahdi, we also stand up to them with a smiling face and joy and light after all their torments.
There are no such things as aliens. There are djinns. One will only be in contact with them. As in the time of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). The djinn will serve man, in other words.2011-11-27 20:04:31

Danica Patrick became the first woman to secure pole position at a Sprint Cup race on Sunday when she was fastest in qualifying for the Daytona 500.
Australian Marcos Ambrose qualified 24th fastest with a 46.203sec lap in his Ford Fusion while Patrick covered the 2-mile (3.2187km) superspeedway in 45.817 seconds ahead of next Sunday's showdown - the premier race on the NASCAR calendar.
It was the biggest achievement of her four-year NASCAR career, going out eighth in the qualifying session and averaging a speed of 196.434 mph (316.13km/h).
The previous highest female qualifier in a Cup race was Janet Guthrie who started ninth at Bristol and Talladega in 1977.
Patrick's time was also the fastest pole lap at Daytona since Kenny Schrader's 196.515 mph lap in 1990, and the first time a rookie had claimed pole for America's Great Race since Jimmie Johnson in 2002.
"Hopefully, there are good things to come," Patrick said.
She waited about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot. Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off.
Gordon was the only other driver who topped 196 mph. He locked up the other guaranteed spot in next week's season-opening Daytona 500.
"It's great to be part of history," Gordon said. "I can say I was the fastest guy today."
The rest of the field will be set in duel qualifying races on Thursday.
However when the line-up unfolds, all drivers will line up behind Patrick's No.10 Chevrolet SS for "The Great American Race."
Four Chevrolet SS will start in the top five, with Patrick's Stewart-Haas teammates, Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart fourth and fifth.
"We say it's not really us, but she's got to do her part, too," team owner and fellow driver Tony Stewart said.
"She did a really good job. I'm proud of all of us."
Patrick has been the talk of Speedweeks. Not only did she open up about her budding romance with fellow Sprint Cup rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr, but she was considered the front-runner for the pole after turning the fastest laps in practice on Saturday.
And she didn't disappoint.
The result surely felt good, especially considering the former IndyCar driver has mostly struggled in three NASCAR seasons. Her best finish in 10 Cup races is 17th, and she has one top-five in 58 starts in the second-tier Nationwide Series.

Mitt Romney and Mormon Theology

Interesting post. I agree that "the way Mormon theology shapes Mitt Romney's policies deserves inquiry," but what you've laid out here is something approaching an ahistorical caricature of Mormon thought, in which LDS theology is both simple and stagnant. "This may not be so much Ayn Rand as Joseph Smith" is a clever turn of phrase, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything resembling Romney's disdain for the 47% in Joseph Smith's corpus of writings and sermons. By contrast, Smith embraced and advocated the more general collective responsibility for each other.
There is, to be sure, a strain of Mormon theology that prizes individual success. I'm not convinced, as you apparently are, that this automatically translates into "policies that ruthlessly favor rich over poor, promote arrogance about the difference between truth and falsehood, and may lead to yet another war." To reduce Mitt Romney's political positions to little more than consequences of what you imagine his theology to be reduces the complexities of his life and the culture and society in which he lives to a degree I, as a historian, an comfortable with. Mitt's Mormonism matters, but so does his status as a privileged heterosexual white male, his successful career as a businessman, and the hard-right turn his political party has taken in the last 4 years.
- Dware at: October 29, 2012 at 3:11 PM said...
This is one of the more chilling analyses of Mormon political philosophy I've seen...and one of the most compelling arguments for defeating Romney next week. Thanks for putting this together so concisely.
Dware, I disagree strongly that Romney's theology presents "one of the most compelling arguments for defeating him" but I think you're probably right in pointing out that Pahl's actual motivation for posting was purely political and not at all scholarly.

From Jay Leno's rising unpopularity to the TomKat split, we give you the best-read Arts stories of the year
1. Jay Leno: the most hated man in television right now
In this Aug., 2012, story, TV critic John Doyle looks at reaction to Jay Leno's offer to work for free as Tonight Show ratings declined and staff was being let go .
"…it was an extraordinary offer to make," Doyle writes. "Leno earns about $26-million a year but, as legend has it, puts it all in the bank because he makes so much money from the many stand-up gigs he performs every year. He can afford to work for free, obviously, but in the TV business, nobody works for free except the Interns. Nobody."
"And yet Leno's offer barely made a dent in the showbiz news cycle. Why? Because these days everybody loathes Jay Leno. In fact, dissing Leno has become a sport."
2. Why this Canadian porn star's past isn't holding her back in Bollywood
Many Canadians may not have known the name Sunny Leone before reading this story by Stephanie Nolen.
"Sunny Leone, born and raised in Sarnia, Ont., is one of the biggest stars in the North American adult-entertainment business," writes Nolen. "She's been a Penthouse Pet of the Year, starred in high-grossing hits such as Not Charlie's Angels XXX, has her own line of sex toys and a production company. Her Punjabi parents left India more than 30 years ago to find a new life in Canada. Now Leone is back in the land she calls her 'birthright,' seeking a new life of her own – and she's a whole new kind of famous."
But would a Canadian porn star make it in Bollywood? Nolen set out to find the answer.
(Priyam Dhar for The Globe and Mail)
3. Kristen Stewart should not have apologized, and here's why
After photos were published of Kristen Stewart kissing Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, the actress made a public apology to boyfriend Rob Pattinson.
Bad move, argues Sarah Nicole Prickett. "Whom Stewart is having sex with should concern whom she is having sex with and whom those people are having sex with – and nobody else. Stewart is not a Mormon running for public office on higher moral ground. She is not your sex-addiction swami. She's an actor and a human and 22 years old."
What do you think? Add to the nearly 300 comments on the story to have your say.

4. How to get under Aaron Sorkin's skin (and also, how to high-five properly)
"Aaron Sorkin knows the weight of last words, and his last words to me, as we walk-and-talk out of the HBO press room, are: 'Write something nice,'" writes Sarah Nicole Prickett. "He says this in the 'Smile, honey' tone of much less successful jerks. It's not advice the Oscar-winning, show-bossing Jonathan Franzen of screenwriting would take himself, thank what gods there be. In Sorkinville, these gods are men."
As the story unfolds, we see how an innocent (and, okay, one not-so-innocent) comment from the writer puts Aaron Sorkin on edge. And as his new HBO series The Newsroom attests, so does the eclipse of an era in which all-powerful male iconoclasts held the reins of America the good.
5. The TomKat split: Is Hollywood getting a divorce from Scientology?
When Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise earlier this year, there may have been more at stake than custody of Suri. As Leah McLaren found, the decades-old dream of L. Ron Hubbard to marry his religion to the entertainment industry was put in question as well.
"…Hubbard's Project Celebrity just hit a major roadblock – one that illustrates that the dangers of unbridled publicity can be just as potent as its benefits," writes McLaren. "In what is shaping up to be the biggest tabloid story of the year, Scientology's reigning power couple – Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes – are in the middle of an acrimonious, bi-coastal split."
"The detonation of TomKat has escalated from just another celebrity divorce story into a full-blown public trial for Scientology and its ties to the entertainment industry."

FASHION outlet Scary Canary has shut up shop ahead of plans to open a new base in the town's High Street.
The popular shop in Victoria Passage, run by Stacey Smith and her partner Steve Pilcher, has been going for four years but its forward-thinking business bosses have decided to pursue something new.
They have taken on the top two floors of what's left of the old three-storey McDonald's unit at the top end of the High Street - above quirky coffee shop The Coffee Collective which took over half of the downstairs part of the store last summer.
Stacey said: "It's a new adventure for us.
"The lease was coming to an end and we wanted a new challenge."
The pair, who marked their last trading day in Victoria Passage on Saturday March 1, have already got the keys to the new base which Stacey has described as being "like a bombsite" and they plan to spend the next few months renovating before opening in style in the summer.
The new venture, however, will be more of a shopping by appointment-type affair - and customers will be invited to browse at regular events featuring live music and film screenings.
Stacey said: "We're trying to make it more exciting. People will be able to book personal shopping experiences - or come and watch a band at the same time rather than just boring shopping.
"The High Street's changing and you have to make it more interesting for people."
She said music, film and art events organised by Scary Canary in the past have proved popular so they hope to run more of them in the future and make the new venue a real community venture.
A date for the official opening event has not yet been set but it is likely to be in summer.
In the meantime fashion fans can continue to buy clothing and accessories online at www.scarycanaryclothing.co.uk/
People can also keep up-to-date by checking the Scary Canary Facebook site www.facebook.com/ScaryCanaryClothingShop or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

GREENWOOD, S.C. — A South Carolina teenager is dead and four others are recovering after they were gunned down at a birthday party.
Greenwood police say a 15-year-old died from a gunshot wound to the chest, while the other four suffered injuries that didn't appear life-threatening Saturday night. Police aren't identifying the teen, or even saying whether the victim was a boy or girl.
Police say a large crowd gathered for a birthday party when several shots were fired by an unknown number of people.
The shooting happened not far from the Greenwood Detention Center. Police have not said what prompted the shooting.


text: Bonamico captain of Class AA all-state first team By Chris Johnson December 11, 2013 Story Share BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. - Last year seems like a lifetime ago for Anthony Bonamico.After an ankle injury wiped out virtually all of his junior season, there were some questions as to how effective Bonamico would be in 2013 as Bridgeport's featured running back in an offense that was being tweaked from the school's traditional stick-I to a power pistol formation.The new look resulted in a school record for points scored, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns and paved the way to a Class AA state championship for the Indians.Bonamico was at the forefront with 2,180 rushing yards on 205 attempts (10.6 yards per carry) and 33 total touchdowns. Today, he was named the Class AA first-team all-state offensive captain by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association."I couldn't have asked for a better senior season," Bonamico said. "To come back from that injury and for us to win the title with the group of guys I had as teammates. The individual honors are great but what we accomplished with a collective effort as a team is what matters most."Two of his teammates joined him as first-team honorees in Tyler Morgan as an offensive lineman and A.C. Caldera as a defensive back. Caldera, who ran for 1,188 yards and 21 touchdowns - including both in the 14-13 AA title-game victory over Wayne - was considered even more important on the other side of the ball by his coaching staff. He had 36 tackles and five interceptions to help lead a Bridgeport defense that allowed just 11.6 points per game this season. Morgan was also a huge part of the defense as the team's leading tackler from his middle linebacker spot."I think everybody knew Tyler and A.C. were both capable of having great seasons but they both stepped up even more than we could have imagined," Bonamico said. "They both had great seasons on both sides of the ball."Wayne, which extended its overall win streak to 36 consecutive games before falling to Bridgeport in one of the most memorable state title games Wheeling Island Stadium has seen, had four players earn first-team honors in offensive lineman Alex Elkins, defensive lineman Curtis Followay, linebacker Mason Hodge, who was named the first-team defensive captain, and defensive back Grant Ferguson.This year's all-state team also comes with a little bit of history. Lincoln's Emily Knight is the first female player ever in West Virginia to earn first-team honors. Knight was selected as the first-team kicker after leading Class AA through the regular season in made field goals with six. She also converted 32 PATs and handled kickoff duties for the Cougars. "Since I was a sophomore and started playing football, my teammates, the coaches and the community have been supportive of me and didn't single me out for being a girl," Knight said. "For people throughout the whole state to treat me equal is an unbelievable feeling. I'm so thankful and grateful for this honor."Joining Bonamico as first-team running backs are Westside's Mike Mullens (1,654 yards, 18 touchdowns) and Bluefield's D.J. Stewart (1,312 yds, 23 TDs).Fairmont Senior's Austin Norman completed 113 of 190 passes for 2,119 yards with 26 touchdowns and just four interceptions and was named as the first-team quarterback.The first-team wide receivers are Lincoln's Dillon O'Dell (52 receptions, 1,234 yards, eight TDs) and Bluefield's D.J. Edwards (57 receptions, 1,010 yards and 10 TDs).Joining Morgan and Elkins on the offensive line are Robert C. Byrd's Justin Noble, Ravenswood's Kyle Hickman and Mingo Central's Zach Hott. Ritchie County dual-threat QB Alex Lipscomb was selected as the offensive utility player after throwing for 1,606 yards with 20 touchdowns and running for 1,161 yards with 10 scores. Along with Follaway, Nicholas County's Austin Hill and Fairmont Senior's Vince Delligatti were selected as defensive linemen.Delligatti's teammate Luke Hrapchak is a first-team linebacker along with Hodge and Summers County's Erik Lindsey.Philip Barbour's Al Johnson (five interceptions with four defensive and/or special-teams scores among his 14 total TDs) joins Caldera and Ferguson at defensive back along with Wyoming East's Casey Saunders.Ravenswood's Isaac Crow was picked as the punter, while Sissonville's Nathan Miller nabbed the defensive utility spot.Frankfort's Brady Watson and Mingo Central's Alex Lee were named the second-team captains on offense and defense, respectively.Bridgeport and Wayne each had three second-team selections. For the Indians, Hunter Renquest was picked as an offensive lineman, Brandon Hartz as a defensive lineman and Dante Bonamico as a linebacker. All three of the Pioneers' second-team choices were on defense in lineman J.C. Maynard, linebacker Nathan Spurlock and defensive back Cody Stiltner.Watson was joined at second-team running back by Sissonville's Dominic Walker and Herbert Hoover's Shaun Dotson.Lincoln's Jarrod Kellar is the second-team quarterback. The receivers are Webster County's Dalton Davis and Fairmont Senior's Neil Scherich.In addition to Renquest, second-team offensive linemen are Wyoming East's Ryan Cantrell, Keyser's Drew Roy, Fairmont Senior's Andrew Summers and Ritchie County's Ryan Parsons.Summers County's Isaiah Brown was chosen as the second-team offensive utility player and Bluefield's Francisco Desiderio was picked as the second-team kicker.Robert C. Byrd sophomore Juwan Jones-Wright was picked as a second-team defensive lineman along with Hartz and Maynard. The two linebackers joining Bonamico and Spurlock on the second team are Nicholas County's Wil Mayes and Bluefield's Cory Coppola.Rounding out the defensive backs with Stiltner and Lee are Philip Barbour's Dylan Johnson and Chapmanville's Brady Cox.The second-team punter is Lincoln's Ty Seibel, while Ravenswood's Rhys Jelich was named the second-team defensive utility player.
