TO REST OR NOT TO REST: The question has come often in recent weeks, and Dungy answered as he has answered all along.
Question: Would he rest his starters if the Colts clinch homefield advantage?
Answer: He just doesnt know.
At least not yet.
If were fortunate enough to win, what Ill try to do that next week is what I do every big decision I try to make for this team Ill pray about it and try to get some wisdom from the Lord, Dungy said. If we decide to play our guys, which Im sure theyll all want to play, Ill pray that that dont get hurt, and that we can go out there and keep winning.
Dungy was asked if his decision to play running back Edgerrin James and quarterback Peyton Manning despite a 32-point lead with four minutes remaining was indication he might play starters if the Colts clinch home-field advantage?
Thats one theory to have, Dungy said. Those guys, they want to play. They want to play all the time and you have to take that into consideration. We dont let them vote, but I do take into consideration how they feel.
Ive never been in that situation before. I know what I think Ill do, but you never know until you get there. I really havent spent a lot of time trying to worry about it, because weve got a big fish to fry this week before we get to that.
Dungy said the decision to leave James and Manning in was made during the fourth quarter.
We basically had set up that we were going to do one more series with those guys, Dungy said. We didnt know where we were going to get the ball or how much time was going to be left. Normally, when we get into a situation like that, where were ahead, we say, Were going to play one more series, or, This is it.
James rushed for 10 yards on the drive to surpass the 100-yard mark for a second consecutive game, and the ninth time this season.
We sometimes get that information, Dungy said, smiling. As a matter of fact, we did have that information (Sunday). Ill ask, usually. You dont let that interfere with whats happening in the game, but once the games in control, you do think about some of those things.
TAKING A BREAK: The Colts had a third Monday off in five weeks this week, with the exceptions being the weeks of victories over New England and Pittsburgh.
Those games were on Monday night.

How To Makeover Your Bathroom For LESS Than $150
A top photo stylist in New York and currently the head stylist at e-retailer One Kings Lane, Andrew Stewart transformed a client's "big white box," as he calls the original apartment, into a youthful, cozy, multifunctional home. The console — which, like many of the furnishings, came from One Kings Lane — and Ocelot wallpaper by Farrow & Ball help establish the nook inside the front door as its own entryway. The studio has only two windows, but the big wall mirror brightens up the space.
1. Use All Available Space — Even on the Walls
Stewart mounted the Samsung TV on a swing-arm device, eliminating the need for a bulky media center. It swivels to face the bed and pushes back flush when not in use. Sconces by the bed free up space on the surfaces of the bedside tables.
2. Think About the Room in Terms of Zones
The Benchmade by Brownstone sofa "is like a pretend wall between the living area and bedroom," Stewart says. Comple-mentary rugs reinforce the idea that the area has "rooms." Thom Filicia Griffith Park rug. Sea-grass rug, One Kings Lane.
3. Create and Optical Illusion With Your Curtains
Curtains hung well above the window impart airiness and height. Stewart kept the curtain design basic but used extra fabric for fullness. "I wanted the window treatments to feel clean but not monastic," he says.
4. For Help Choosing a Palette, Look to Your Closet
Stewart had the client show him the clothes she wore all the time. What did he find? "Dusty purples and metallics," he says. "She already loved these colors. So that became our palette." Walls in Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion in Dove Tale.
5. Old-School Solutions Still Work
The bed sits on a set of simple risers to create space for storage underneath. "It's a well-known dorm-room trick," Stewart says. The custom bed skirt, in a spirited pattern that matches the headboard, keeps the storage out of sight.

Why 1-0 is a good sign
Here is why winning an NFL season opener is usually a positive indicator for a team:
The combined record of Super Bowl teams in season openers has been 66-10-2. Last year's finalists, New England and Philadelphia, each won.
Since the 16-game schedule was adopted in 1978, and excluding the strike-shortened 1982 season, 199 of 378 opener winners (52.6 percent) reached the playoffs.
Last season, 11 of the 12 playoff teams won in Week 1. The Colts were the only eventual playoff team to start 0-1.
Since 1978, 110 of the 378 opener winners have won division titles. Last season, the Colts were the only eventual division winner who did not win their first game.
Best, worst in openers
Here are the best and worst teams in NFL season openers, based on winning percentage. The Indianapolis Colts rank 21st at 30-30-1 (.500).
1. Jacksonville 7-3 (.700)
2. Dallas 30-14-1 (.682)
3. Houston 2-1 (.667)
4. Denver 29-15-1 (.659)
5. N.Y. Giants 40-28-4 (.588)
1. New Orleans 11-27 (.289)
2. Seattle 9-20 (.310)
3. Baltimore 3-6 (.333)
4. Arizona 27-43-1 (.386)
5. (tie) Buffalo 18-27 (.400), Carolina 4-6, Philadelphia 28-42-1.
Ambitions are seldom more believable than before an NFL season opener, when each team has Super Bowl dreams.
The Indianapolis Colts are again a title contender and on the road. The Sunday night opener at Baltimore is the Colts' sixth consecutive season opener away from the RCA Dome.
The first in this string of five previous road openers was one of the more memorable ones for Colts offensive tackle Tarik Glenn and center Jeff Saturday. The Colts started out at one of the league's loudest venues, Arrowhead Stadium at Kansas City, and won 27-14.
"They did the whole Derrick Thomas tribute and had the airplanes flying over the stadium," Glenn said, recalling a ceremony honoring the late Chiefs linebacker in 2000.
"It marked the year for us to really come out and play well as a team. I think it changed . . . how we went out and played games when we went to a hostile environment."
The Colts have won four of the past five road openers. They've had winning seasons and reached the playoffs in four of those years.
Glenn anticipates a similar environment against the Ravens.
"Baltimore is going to be just as hostile and just as sweet," Glenn said of his ninth season-opening start. "It's always fun to play in different stadiums to get a different feel."
Saturday, making his sixth consecutive start in a season opener, recalls the intensity of running out to face the Chiefs.
"They were predicted to be a great team. We were up and coming at the time," he said. "The crowd was unbelievable. It was a sea of red. It was a perfect setup to the game, when you walk out of the tunnel and the place is going crazy.
"At the end of the season, (the opener) is just another game, but you always want to start with a win and get your season started the way you thought about it throughout the offseason. It may be only one game, but it's a real ramp up."
The Colts are 30-30-1 in season openers, the league's only .500 team in first games. After moving from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984, they lost their first eight openers before beating Cleveland 14-3 at the Dome in 1992.
Since the arrival of quarterback Peyton Manning in 1998, the Colts are 5-2 in openers. Tony Dungy is 5-4 in first games as a head coach, 2-1 with the Colts and 3-3 while with Tampa Bay.
Dungy recalls an ominous opening as head coach with Tampa Bay in 1996.
"We had the stadium issue coming up. The vote was going to be the next day, and we lost 34-3 to Green Bay," he said. "Everybody said, 'Oh, you've driven the Buccaneers out of town.' "
And then there was his debut with the Colts, his first look at Manning and coordinator Tom Moore's powerful offense in a 28-25 victory at Jacksonville in 2002.
"I said, 'Boy, this is going to be a lot of fun,' " Dungy said.
This season's opener is special for Colts safety Gerome Sapp, who played for the Ravens in 2003, then was cut at the outset of 2004 in a move that divided the team's decision-makers. Sapp said the Ravens intended to cut Corey Fuller, but Fuller talked them out of it by reminding them how he got Deion Sanders to sign with Baltimore.
"I don't think guys can really imagine what kind of atmosphere it's going to be on a Sunday night in Baltimore," Sapp said. "I'm sure they're going to introduce their defense, Ray Lewis will do his (pregame) dance and the excitement in the air will be amazing."
Sapp says he has no hard feelings about being cut. He still keeps in touch with many of his former teammates.
"I was thinking about my rookie year and opening at Pittsburgh and thinking, 'Damn, this is the Steelers.' That was my first game. I was like, 'This is for real now,' " he said.
"I remember seeing the logos on their helmets. And one side doesn't have a logo. I had never looked at that closely on TV, but being out on the field, I was like, 'I'm really playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is the NFL.' "

HomeComputer HardwareComponentsPower Supplies
What Is A Computer Power Supply?
A computer power supply unit, or PSU, is the component that supplies power to a computer. A power supply is designed to convert 100-AC power from the power mains to usable low-voltage DC power for the internal components of the computer. Some power supplies have a switch to change voltage, while others have automatic sensors.
The most common computer power supplies are built to conform with the ATX form factor. Specifications of the ATX standard enables different PSUs to be interchangeable with different components inside a PC. ATX power supplies also are designed to turn on and off using a signal from the motherboard, and provide support for modern functions such as the standby mode available in many computers. For laptops, see Laptop Batteries to find a compatible product.
How to Choose A PSU
Most desktop power supplies are the same size and fit in most cases, excluding some small form factor cases. Your total components will dictate the amount of wattage you need for your power supply, although having extra doesnt hurt and allows for later expansion if needed.
There are four different types of power supplies. Modular, Non-Modular, Semi-Modular and Fully Modular.
Modular: These cables are detached from the power supply and are plugged in. The advantage of Modular power supplies is that you have better control over your cables.
Non-Modular: These cables are built into the power supply and they are static and cannot be moved. The benefit is they are generally cheaper than most modular PSUs of the same quality.
Semi-Modular: Some cables are built in with others being detachable. For some brands you can buy the cables to meet the size requirements you need for the cables, much like full-modular.
Fully-Modular: All cables are detachable.

Wilson gives LA health scare, but should be OK
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Reliever Brian Wilson gave the Dodgers a brief scare during Monday's exhibition game against Oakland.
While facing Addison Russell leading off the eighth inning, Wilson attracted the attention of pitching coach Rick Honeycutt, catcher Miguel Olivo, then manager Don Mattingly and finally assistant trainer Greg Harrell.
"Rick said something looked funny," Mattingly said. "I talked to Stan [Conte, the team trainer]. He said he's fine."
After a brief conversation, Wilson continued without taking a warm-up pitch. He allowed a long double to Russell, then an RBI single to Jose Martinez. Wilson then retired Luke Montz on a fly ball to right field and Mattingly returned to the mound to remove Wilson when he reached his 15-pitch limit.
The pitcher handed Mattingly the ball and went to the dugout with no apparent injury, relieved by Carlos Frias.
After talking to Wilson, Mattingly concluded that the reliever had too much time to warm up while the Dodgers scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh, recalling that Wilson was hit in a game in Cincinnati last year under similar circumstances.

Kale can be gritty, so I gave the chopped leaves a quick spin in the salad spinner. No need to dry thoroughly, since it's going into soup.
If you don't have ham stock, you can use some ham flavor base, or you may not need it if you have flavorful ham. I'm a fan of this Goya Ham Flavored Concentrate, but I've also used Penzeys or Better Than Bouillon brands.
I wanted to eat it that day, so I cooked my soup on high for just under four hours. You could also cook on low for a longer time.
Cannellini Bean and Kale Soup with Ham and Sherry Vinegar
(Makes 6-8 servings but this freezes well; recipe created by Kalyn.)
I used a 4.5 quart Crockpot Slow Cooker for this recipe, but any size from 4-5 quarts will be fine.
1 yellow or white onion, finely chopped
1 T minced garlic (or less if you don't love garlic like I do)
1 small bunch of dark green kale, stems removed and coarsely chopped
2 cans cannellini beans (15.5 oz. each) or 3 cups cooked cannellini beans
3 cups diced ham (use ham with less than 10% fat for South Beach Diet)
4 cups ham stock + 2 cups chicken stock (or use 6 cups chicken stock plus some ham flavor base)
1-2 tsp. or packets ham flavor base (optional, but recommended if using chicken stock)
1 cup water (plus more for stovetop cooking)
red pepper flakes to taste (I used just a pinch)
freshly ground black pepper to taste (I used a lot of pepper)
Spanish sherry vinegar or other mild vinegar for serving (optional, but just a small amount of vinegar drizzled on the soup when serving added a lot of interesting flavor)
Crockpot Instructions:
Pour in ham stock, chicken stock, and 1 cup water, plus ham flavor base if using. Add red pepper flakes and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, or until kale is fully cooked and softened and flavors are well blended. Serve hot, with a little vinegar drizzled on the soup when serving if desired.

On most nights, Tom Yeh puts his 3-year-old son on his lap, opens a children's book and reads aloud. It's a much-loved activity for both father and son as the characters are brought to life.
A year ago, while reading the children's classic Goodnight Moon, Yeh, an assistant professor in computer science, began thinking about how to make books more accessible to visually impaired preschool-age children.
Although his son has no visual impairment, Yeh, whose research is focused on human-centered computing - how humans and computers interact - set his sights on printing children's picture books using a 3D printer. Characters and objects described in the storyline would actually pop off the page when printed in 3D, enhancing the reading experience for visually impaired children.
"I really enjoy reading stories with my son," says Yeh, "and I thought I might be able to contribute to making books for visually impaired children more tactile." Yeh leads the Sikuli Lab at CU-Boulder, where he is training a team of talented students to conduct research to make computers see better and interact with humans more naturally. Sikuli means "God's Eye" in Huichol, the indigenous language of Mexico, and it symbolizes the ability to see and understand.
His research program spans humancomputer interaction, computer vision and software engineering, with a goal of enabling people to use machine intelligence to solve practical problems.
Yeh is looking at ways to represent 2D graphics in a 3D, tactile way, and on a scale that's appropriate for young children's cognitive abilities and interests. By combining these factors into computational algorithms, he and his researchers are developing an interface that will allow parents to print their own customized books at home using a 3D printer.
The idea, says Yeh, is similar to Pandora radio, which offers curated music playlists based on individual preferences.
"Three-dimensional printing holds the key to simplifying the making of tactile picture books," says Yeh. "As 3D printers become cheaper and more powerful, soon people will own a 3D printer at home, just like now they own color printers at home. Every kid needs a special book that provides the experience he or she needs," says Yeh. "It is impossible for mass production printing to do that so that it's easy to make changes and customize. With the price of 3D printers coming down, it's not out-of-reach for a school classroom or a parent to print books. For a child, being able to read together with a parent is very important."
Yeh's prototype book, appropriately enough, is Goodnight Moon.

Persol, the premier Made in Italy brand of sunglasses, is sponsoring the 67th Venice International Film Festival, and for the second year in a row, is presenting the PERSOL 3-D PRIZE for the most creative stereoscopic 3-D film of the yearPersol, a brand long been synonymous with elegance and allure, has become a legend in the history of Italian and international sunglass design. Movies have always been embedded in its DNA. In fact, since the 1960s various styles of Persol sunglasses have played a major role in some of Italys most important movies, and they have become the personal choice of many unforgettable actors and stars in the world of cinema and international star system.
The strong bond with the world of cinema has remained unchanged over time, and has resulted in the collaboration between Persol ePersol and the 67th Venice International Film Festival. Persol will in fact be present at all the Festivals key points in Venice, and it will accompany journalists and celebrities for the festivals entire duration. Persol will be also happy to present celebrities in attendance at the Lido with their own exclusive models to wear and to protect them from the incessant flashes of the photographers.
The main player and undisputed standard-bearer of a long tradition of quality and authentic style which is the Made in Italy brand, Persol is today more than ever an icon of timeless allure and elegance. Persols glasses collections have always been characterized by traditional elements that are distinctive of the brand, and that have made famous the quality, design, and technology of Persol lenses and frames. The attention to detail can be seen especially in the decision to offer various sizes for its sunglass and eyeglass frames; this guarantees the same custom fit and level of comfort as with the most important fashion designers working under the Made in Italy brand.
The Persol 3-D Prize for the most creative stereoscopic 3-D film of the year, which was awarded last year to Joe Dantes The Hole (one of Italys summer box office surprises), will be given again this year to the movie that makes the most creative use of stereoscopic 3-D technology. The movie will be chosen from among those produced and released in Italy (or presented at Italian film festivals) between September 11, 2009 and August 10, 2010. The Persol 3-D Prize will be awarded to the full-length movie that best explores the new frontiers of this medium of cinematic expression. Members of the Jury for the Persol 3-D Prize will be chosen directly by the Festivals directors.
If on the one hand Persol represents the Made in Italy brand and a tradition of craftsmanship par excellence, on the other it has always focused on selecting materials, and designing and manufacturing in the most accurate manner; it makes use of the most sophisticated level of craftsmanship as well as the most advanced technologies. In its quest for excellence, Persol continues to implement innovative strategies and technologies; its collections always refer to its long tradition by refashioning and updating it. For this reason Persol is happy to award a movie that embodies the extraordinary amount of innovation and the continuing evolution of avant-garde technologies that moviemaking the seventh art has achieved through the latest generation of digital stereoscopic 3-D technology.
The collaboration between Persol and the Festival confirms and renews the harmonious bond between the brand and the international world of the big screen. The collaboration also testifies to the brands commitment to the world of culture and the arts at their highest levels in terms of quality, exclusivity, and refinement, the same values that have always inspired the development of Persols collections.
Fabio dAngelantonio, Chief Marketing Officer of the Luxottica Group, affirm: We are proud to be continuing our felicitous collaboration with the Venice Biennial for the fifth season in a row. In particular, for the last two years Persol has been developing its support of cinematic arts by rewarding the creativity and innovation of 3-D moviemaking, which embodies an avant-garde vision and the most moving experience possible on the big screen.

Orifice Rangeabilty; Bubblers for Difficult Service
Our Readers Ask and We Answer. How to Choose Suitable Flowmeters? Who Is Interested in the Loop Slooth? How to FIx My Bubbler Application Plugging Problems?
Ask the Experts is moderated by Béla Lipták, process control consultant and editor of the Instrument Engineers Handbook (IEH). Preparation of the 5th edition of the handbook requires three co-editors. If you are interested, send in your resume. To ask a control question or to join our team of experts answering the questions in this column, write to email@example.com.
Q: I am trying to choose a suitable flowmeter to measure the flow rate of argon gas. I received a data sheet for one that appears very strange to me. The data sheet says that the flow element was an orifice, and the limits of flow were from 5 Nm3/h to 280 Nm3/h!!! The operating pressure was 21 barg. We are not using the orifice plate flowmeter for this application because its rangeability is only 3:1. I have looked for a flowmeter to cover this large range (56:1), and so far no success! Would you please help me in this regard?
A: The flow measurement range of a conventional orifice-dp cell combination is limited to 3:1. Intelligent dp cells can switch their range to achieve a rangeability of 10:1, but in most designs, the error in percent of actual flow will increase as the flow drops. A more accurate reading is obtained if, instead of range switching, you place two d/p cells on the same orifice, a high- and a low-range one.
If you need a range that exceeds 10:1, you can use several parallel pipe runs of different sizes and open or close as many runs as needed to keep the actual flow always between say 50% and 90% of the maximum flow in the active runs.
My choice for this high-pressure gas flow application would not be to use orifices at all. For a > 50:1 range, I would use one or preferably two Coriolis meters in parallel. If at low flows, you can live with an error of about 5%, one Coriolis meter is enough. Other high- rangeability flowmeter options include thermal (20:1), turbine (10:1), utrasonic (10:1), and vortex (10:1).

Q: We have a bubbler application that has a plugging problem. We have tried various configurations of the tip to reduce the pluggingangled, notched, etc., with little relief.
I remember that many years ago in another difficult application another engineer used a dip-tube diaphragm. I believe there were separate diaphragms on the high and low sides, and that the diaphragms had very small holes. There was a very light purge, on the order of 1 SCFH or less, through a dp regulator for each side. This was very successful.
Unfortunately, that engineer is no longer with us. Now Im working for another company, and nobody at that plant can remember where the diaphragm was purchased.
Both applications are not pressure vessels. The new application runs at 20-25 psig.
Can you recommend some vendors for this application?

A: Is the questioner referring to the PMC 1:1 pneumatic repeater design (www.pmc1.com), which I have previously modified to build a submersible variation to replace bubbler tubes? PMC now makes an electronic dipstick version. The same folk also make submersible electronic transmitters. PMC does have a pneumatic dip tube replacement as a standard product.
These units were originally built for the pulp and paper industry (PMC was once the Paper Machinery Company), but I have found them handy in mineral processing units over the years.

A: A prominent cause of plugging of bubble tubes is dehydration of the solution or slurry in the vessel by the purge gas. One solution is to hydrate the purge gas in another bubbler of clear solvent before it enters the main bubbler. Another possibility is the use of a liquid purge.
Greg Shinskey
Process Control Consultant
Wolfeboro, NH 03894
A: I do not know where you can get diaphragms such as the ones you mention.
In my experience, however, the smaller the bubble orifice and/or purge rate, the easier it is to get plugging. Large-diameter orifices (I have seen 6-in. diameter bubble pipe tips) are often used in wastewater wet wells with good results. It may take a while for the expanded section to fill and equalize if the purge gas is stopped or the bubbler end uncovered, but the large orifice did work pretty well.
I do remember once seeing a bladder-type pressure sensor setup, but I do not remember the manufacturer.
I will also mention that notches in a bubble pipe tip are often used to make the bubbles release in the best spot with regard to error from liquid moving past the orifice.
Al Pawlowski, PE
ALMONT Engineering
Baton Rouge, La., U.S.
A: It is well-known that plugging problems decrease as the square of the diameter of the dip tube. The problem writer gave no information as to the cause or definition of plugging in his application.
If the problem is salts build-up, then a small purge of the appropriate solvent will help keep the relative humidity high enough to reduce the drying effect of the dry gas. Higher liquid flow rates might wash the salts out.
If the problem is freezing polymers, a few users heat the purge gas and/or use a steam- jacketed dip tube.
At one time, it was thought that a notch in the end of the dip tube caused the gas bubbles to be smaller and thus cause less pressure noise. Note that anything more than a very small notch would result in some difference in dip-tube pressure as the supply flow rate changed. It is very important to be sure that the purge gas supply is ALWAYS at a pressure higher than the vessel. Otherwise, the vessel fluids back up into the dip tube and often stay there. The purge gas flow is controlled by a needle valve, not the pressure regulator, and observed with a small rotameter. If a supply pressure regulator is used, it must be a non bleed type so that if the vessel pressure becomes higher than it should be, process fluids will not enter the dip tube system. Some engineers argue that the constant flow regulator sometimes recommended will open on loss of supply pressure and allow back flow.

Evolution Hoax
Surah Ibrahim, 5
We sent Moses with Our Signs: 'Bring your people from the darkness to the light, and remind them of the Days of God.' There are certainly Signs in that for everyone who is steadfast, thankful.
This is also mentioned in Shiite sources. It means remind them of the day of God, remind them that the Mahdi (pbuh) will come, remind them of those days. Insha'Allah.
Surah Ibrahim, 7
And when your Lord announced: "If you are grateful, I will certainly give you increase, but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe."
"I will cause war, and rebellion and civil war. I will cause aggression and economic crises. I will ruin you," God says. There are people who say; "Are these things happening?" They even say that as they lie in their hospital beds. Their own families all wiped out. It has happened, you are living through it, but you are unaware. Have a look at the state of the world, of the Islamic world. And you will understand.
Surah Ibrahim, 8
Moses said, 'If you were to be ungrateful, you and everyone on the earth, God is Rich Beyond Need, Praiseworthy.'
Look, this indicates the system of the dajjal(antichrist). The prophet Moses (pbuh) is foretelling the disaster that will happen in the End Times. His Mahdi is sufficient. Almighty God imposes His glory with the Mahdi, on the whole world, with His title of Jabbar.
Surah Ibrahim, 13
Those who were unbelievers said to their Messengers, 'We will drive you from our land unless you return to our religion.' Their Lord revealed to them, 'We will destroy those who do wrong."
Some people ask what will happen in Syria. God says He will destroy the wicked. They ask what will happen in Egypt. God says He will destroy the wicked.
Surah Ibrahim, 14
We will leave you the land to live in after them. That is the reward of those who fear My station and fear My threat.'
And after them and before them. Because they are destroyed. What is this desire for the land of yours? The world. God tells us the place. The land. He says He will let them settle there. Definitely. "We will leave you the land to live in after them," says God. For those who fear God, not those who love Him. "I love God," some people say. When asked if they fear God, they respond; "No." If you do not fear Him you will lose your senses. One's free will is compromised. "I love God," he says. And then how do you behave? In selfishness, egotism, greed and aggression. Can someone who fears God do those things? No. Can someone who fears God tell lies? No. But one can do it with love of God. "I love God," he says. "So how can you do these things?" we ask. He says; "God will forgive me." "How do you know?" we ask and he says; "Because I love God." Look, he has no fear of God. He could do anything, may God forbid, because he has no fear of God. God says this is a reward of those who fear His threat. If people fear God, He regards them as believers and grants them blessings. God does not speak of those who love Him. In that case, God would say, "It is enough for them to love Me." But God does not say that. God always insists on fear of Him. When one fears Him, the result is perfect moral values. Because one will not lie, behave basely, trick people or be proud and arrogant. How can someone who fears God be proud? But one can be both proud and arrogant if one does not fear God. One may also be disloyal. One says, "I love you very much." Fine, may God be pleased. But do you have loyalty? No. Patience? No. Affection? No. Telling lies? Yes. Selfishness? Yes. Envy? Yes. Jealousy? Yes. You do all those; So? "I love you," the person says. What is that love like? Like a huge void. It has no basis. But a person who fears God says, "I love you." He is modest and loving and respectful and obedient and true-speaking. Loyalty is a blessing for him. That is real love then. A love that is full. The other love is empty.
Surah Ibrahim, 15
They [the prophets] asked for God's victory, and every obdurate tyrant failed.
Imams and mahdis. They asked for victory. Victory from God. In other words, they asked for the global reign of Islam, for the honor of Islam to reign across the world. For the moral values, beauty, love, esthetic understanding, conception of democracy and freedom of Islam to reign across the world; that is what victory means here. Then at the end, every obdurate tyrant failed. What does tyrant mean? Someone who tries to get results through force and arms. God does not call people who try to get results through love tyrants. God does not say that people who get results through reason and democracy are. Whom does He refer to as tyrants? Those who use force. God says that people who try to get results through the use of arms and violence, by terror, by frightening and bombing, by killing and murdering, through military means, are tyrants. If you send troops in against the innocent, you are a tyrant. If you send the police in against the innocent, you are a tyrant. But if you do everything according to the law, lawfully, you are not a tyrant. They send the troops in against the people in Syria, and that is tyranny. Is that democratic? No. They are behaving tyrannically. They crush people with troops. They crush them tyrannically, with the police, in Egypt. Is this lawful? No. The military and the police have a duty to protect justice, the law, the truth, goodness and beauty. They cannot do this by being a tool in the hands of despots. They asked for God's victory, and every obdurate tyrant failed.
God is saying that they were destroyed.
Surah Ibrahim, 24
Do you do not see how God makes a metaphor of a good word: a good tree whose roots are firm and whose branches are in heaven?
...An excellent thing to say. Like a fine tree. With its roots firm and its branches in the sky. Passages of this kind also appear in the Torah and the Injil. So revelation does not change. The commandments of revelation do not change. We look at the Torah and the Injil and they say the same thing. Pure revelation and God's commands never change, insha'Allah.
Surah Yunus, 36
Most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Conjecture is of no use whatsoever against the truth. God most certainly knows what they are doing.
It is all speculation with most of them. We look at the bigots – speculation. The extremists – conjecture. We look at the Darwinists, all speculation and guesswork. There need to be definite facts. What can one do with conjecture? Nothing at all. God certainly knows what they are up to.
Surah Yunus, 41
If they deny you, say, 'I have my actions and you have your actions. You are not responsible for what I do and I am not responsible for what you do.'
If they oppose you with lies, which is what Darwinists, materialists and fundamentalists do. They are always lying and in opposition. "I have my actions and you have your actions." In other words, live and let live. What is this? It is the essence of democracy. They say there is no democracy in the Qur'an. "You are not responsible for what I do and I am not responsible for what you do." He does not say He will punish you for things for which you are not responsible, God says that you are not responsible for the actions of others. This does not require any conflict.
Surah Yunus, 47
Every nation has a Messenger and when their Messenger comes everything is decided between them justly. They are not wronged.
Every community has a Messenger, a Mahdi, an envoy. What is the abjad value? 2021. It gives just one figure; 2021. The total value of the letters is 2021. Every nation. Muslims are a nation. "Every nation has a Messenger…" 2021 is when their Messenger will come. He will rule among them justly, and no injustice will be inflicted on them. Look, justice is what Almighty God concentrates on most of all. When the Mahdi (pbuh) comes, what will his main task be? To be just. A vast justice will rule the world. Justice is the greatest comfort. You will be ruined in the absence of justice.
Surah Yunus, 48
They say, 'When will this promise be kept if you are telling the truth?'
"When is the Mahdi (pbuh) coming? When is Jesus Messiah (pbuh) coming? Tell us," they say. When will the Day of Reckoning come? Look, they are very interested. Not because they want to do anything, but they still want to know. They ask this out of an instinctive curiosity.2013-10-03 05:27:44

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. today reported March 2014 Honda and Acura vehicle sales of 133,318 units. Acura division gained 10.5 percent (14.7 percent based on the Daily Selling Rate, or DSR*)on sales of 15,580, with light trucks increasing 45.8 percent for the month on sales of 10,387 units. The Honda Division recorded sales of 117,738 vehicles in March.
Despite heavy incentives from several major automakers, Honda market share remained strong in March with a nearly 30 percent month-over-month increase as the U.S. auto market clawed back from one of the worst winters in memory.
"With all of the independent data showing the competition getting back on the juice of heavy incentives and fleet sales, we couldn't be more pleased to see our core models—Accord, Civic and CR-V—attract such significant interest from retail buyers," said Jeff Conrad, Honda division senior vice president and general manager. "And with the all-new 2015 Fit going on sale this month, our model lineup is only going to get stronger."
Acura's flagship SUV, the MDX, drove a 10.5 percent division increase as Acura light truck sales climbed nearly 46 percent from a year earlier. RDX also contributed to its remarkable string of monthly increases, with sales rising for the 23rd straight month.
"It's unusual to have such strength and consistency in the hyper-competitive luxury SUV segment," said Mike Accavitti, Acura division senior vice president and general manager. "It's clear that MDX and RDX possess the key qualities that give lasting appeal."
*The daily selling rate (DSR) is calculated with 26 days for March 2014 and 27 days for March 2013. Year-to-date, the DSR is calculated with 75 days for 2014 and 76 days for 2013. All other percentages in release are unadjusted; see table for adjusted DSR figures.

Pfizer Animal Health's Escherichia coli (E. coli) mastitis vaccine now has a new name: ENVIRACOR J-5.
The vaccine was previously known as ESCHERICHIA COLI BACTERIN – J5 STRAIN and UPJOHN J-5 BACTERIN.
The vaccine is designed to help producers control coliform mastitis, as part of a comprehensive dry cow management approach. It includes the original E. coli J-5 strain that that is designed to help boost immunity and protect against clinical signs associated with E. coli mastitis.
In conjunction with the name change, Pfizer Animal Health also conducted a new study in which pregnant cows were vaccinated with ENVIRACOR J-5 according to label directions and compared with negative controls following an E. coli challenge.
The study found:
- ENVIRACOR J-5 vaccinates experienced a 41% (2 ½ days) shorter duration of E. coli mastitis, translating to more salable milk, when compared with control cows.
- Vaccinates experienced a 50% reduction in E. coli environmental shedding, helping control the spread of this environmental pathogen.
- Work with your herd veterinarian to establish best practices for proper nutrition, hygiene, cow comfort, record-keeping and culturing to enhance management efforts.
For more information about ENVIRACOR J-5 and a complete dry cow program, talk with your veterinarian or Pfizer Animal Health representative. Also, visit www.milkqualityfocus.com/drycow to learn from producers who do the best for their cows with complete dry cow care that includes ENVIRACOR J-5.

CHICAGO -- Early this season, it was the Sharks who looked unbeatable.
But Friday night, the team that started 7-0-0 ended up on the wrong side of history, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Chicago Blackhawks, who set an NHL record by completing the first 17 games of a season without a regulation loss.
Still, it was how the Sharks lost -- on a short-handed goal at 2:24 of the third period by rookie Brandon Saad after San Jose defenseman Brent Burns backed away from the shooter -- that had coach Todd McLellan doing a slow burn.
"I thought we let a player in a situation that wasn't very dangerous skate into a primary scoring spot without even challenging him," McLellan said.
So Burns needed to be more aggressive?
"Absolutely. The average hockey fan can tell you that," McLellan said.
San Jose got its lone goal from Patrick Marleau in the loss that dropped the Sharks to 1-5-3 since their winning streak ended. Viktor Stalberg and Saad provided all the offense Chicago needed to improve to 14-0-3.
While Chicago was in the spotlight and had the most to gain, the Sharks clearly had the most to lose. This was the third -- and final -- meeting between the teams, all in the past 18 days, and after Chicago won the first two, this was San Jose's last chance to show it could compete with the league's best.
But nobody in teal was taking any satisfaction from simply coming close to beating the Blackhawks.
"You never do. It's a win or loss league," said Logan Couture. "That's the way this thing goes."
The Sharks held their own in the first period against a Blackhawks team that has shown it can skate circles around any opponent on a given night. And the reward came with 14.2 seconds before the first intermission when Marleau crashed the net and slid a rebound under Chicago goalie Ray Emery's pads for a team-leading 11th goal of the season.
But Chicago tied things at 16:40 of the second period when Stalberg carried the puck down the left sideboards and threw it toward the crease from behind the goal line. The puck caromed into the net off goalie Antti Niemi, who took responsibility for the bad break.
"I should be tighter on the post there when he goes behind the goal line," Niemi said.
While the Sharks' power-play ineffectiveness continued with an 0-for-4 performance, the goal by Saad was the first one San Jose has given up short-handed.
Burns backed off from Saad as he came through the Sharks zone along the left sidewall, and the Sharks defenseman said after the game that he was trying to keep the Blackhawk away from the net.
"I cut into the middle so he wouldn't come into the middle. I tried to force him wide. That's pretty much how I saw the play," Burns said.
Even then, it took a well-placed shot by Saad that bounced off the far post and into the net to beat the Sharks. And Niemi blamed himself for that goal as well.
"I should have the shot anyways," Niemi said, noting Burns didn't get between himself and Saad. "He didn't screen me and sometimes when they try to go there hard, they screen. It's my shot."
The loss bothered the Sharks because they felt they were still in the game after two periods.
"We talked like it was right there in the second intermission, but for whatever reason we didn't bear down and they scored the short-hander," Joe Thornton said. "It just killed us."
And McLellan, once again, wasn't taking very much comfort in the fact his team did a better job of skating with the Blackhawks than it did a week ago in a 4-1 loss.
"We lost. It's not what we came here to do," he said. "We'll look for positives in it, but it's still a loss at the end of the night, it's still two points that we won't get back. The effort was much better, the battle was better. But we still only scored one goal and we gave up the winner on the power play, so we should all be a little unhappy."
San Jose's record dropped to 1-3-1 on its season-long road trip that winds up Saturday in Dallas.
"You know what? We can sit there and bang our heads against the wall night in and night out. We've got to try different units, different pairs," McLellan said. "I thought the last two games, we were a little more dangerous. There were some pucks going to the net that had a real good chance of going in. We'll continue to work on it."

Chess Match & Tournament Books
The 1958 Interzonal Chess Tournament in Portoroz was one of the most important and strongest tournaments in chess history, and is still regularly discussed in chess circles today. This is the tournament where the 15-year-old Bobby Fischer earned the grandmaster title and first became a contender for the World Chess Championship. It is also the tournament where Mikhail Tal finally got his first chance to compete in a grandmaster tournament outside of the Soviet Union, and started one of the longest non-losing streaks in chess history on his march to the World Chess Championship.

In 1938, a major controversy existing in the international chess world. Alexander Alekhine had recently regained the title of World Champion by convincingly defeating Max Euwe in a rematch for the title.

The Book of the Louis D. Statham Lone Pine Masters-Plus Tournament 1975
Lone Pine 1975 was the first ever truly Grandmaster Swiss event. Today, with many grandmaster Swiss events taking place every year, such as the Aeroflot Open, the Reykjavik Open, and many others, not to mention the World Open, bringing together 22 grandmasters to play in a Swiss tournament does not seem that remarkable. Even the title, Grandmaster Chess, seems to be a bit hackneyed with so many grandmaster events being played today.

Whenever any grandmaster of chess is asked the question "Which chess book helped you the most" or "To what book do you most attribute your success", the answer is almost always the same. What is it that makes this book so much better than the others? Is it the deep analysis, the explanation of the ideas or is it the personality of the author himself in his exuberant explanations of how the struggle creates art.

7 Lemons We Can't Help But Love
Doubling as an NYC taxi, the little NV is a smart hauler. Nissan found that the work crowd typically uses only one cargo door for loading, so the NV200's curbside rear door is much larger than the roadside one. And because commercial truck drivers constantly hop in and out of their vehicles, Nissan designed the seats with wear patches. The NV will soon take on a Chevrolet badge as the 2015 City Express.
Coolest Feature: The NV200 comes with a cubby between the seats that fits a laptop or file folder for record keeping.
The small van from Ram is based on the Fiat Doblo (pictured above) but will receive a new face similar to big brother Promaster's. Dodge Caravan fans need not worry—the ProMaster City is aimed solely at commercial customers.

Martin Brodeur has done a lot during his career. He's not the best goalie of all time for nothing. During Game No. 1,200 on Saturday, though, he pulled off something that was impressive for a wholly different reason.
Brodeur, as the crescendo to a bizarre sequence that started with him losing his stick, wiped out attempting to save Evgeni Malkin's shot on an empty net. Just watch—explaining exactly what happened is hard.
Brodeur was in the corner retrieving his stick when Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury fired the puck up to Malkin, who rang a shot off the post while Brodeur was still making his way back. The puck slid across the goal line, and Brodeur nearly kicked it in the net himself.
At the time, the game was tied 1-1. New Jersey wound up winning 3-1, thanks to two third-period power-play goals. Pittsburgh took an astounding 12 minor penalties during the loss, their first in six games.

Kershaw puts Dodgers first; Lilly back in action
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Dodgers Opening Day starter Clayton Kershaw said he wanted to pitch for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, but skipped it because of last year's hip impingement.
"I was definitely tempted," Kershaw said after striking out seven and allowing three runs (two earned) in three innings against the Angels on Thursday. "It would be a huge honor, and I would have loved to. But I think I owed it to the team to show I was healthy, even though I had those two starts at the end last year. I know they didn't feel great about me going. I hope I can go in four years. I definitely will have regrets watching it."
Kershaw skipped a start in mid-September because of the hip discomfort, but bounced back to make three more starts, allowing only two earned runs in 21 innings. Included was a five-hit shutout for eight innings against Colorado and a three-hitter for eight innings against the Giants.
Meanwhile, fellow lefty Ted Lilly made his first appearance since last year's shoulder surgery and allowed a solo home run to Howie Kendrick in two innings.
"I was better than I thought I would be," said Lilly. "Just to be able to command my fastball. I felt pretty good with the breaking ball, and the slider was OK. I feel better than last year, but the offseason it took awhile. It was almost a month before Spring Training when I thought I'd be ready. Before that, I had serious doubts about being ready for spring. My shoulder took awhile to rebound, but I'm at the point now where I don't feel I'm coming off surgery."
Lilly is in a dogfight for a role if everybody is healthy, as the Dodgers have eight starters for five positions. Because of the time it takes for Lilly to warm up, manager Don Mattingly said he's not a likely candidate for a bullpen role.
Lilly reiterated that he wants to start, but he wants to "win a world championship with the Dodgers" more.
