The Rip Curl Gromsearch National Final hit Salt Creek at full throttle over the weekend with a full capacity of groms from across the nation. The national final was a fun and explosive celebration for all the groms qualified from one of the six national events that took place coast to coast. The event boasted some of the best talent from the 4 different age divisions including: Boys 12 & Under, Boys 14 & Under, Boys 16 & Under, and Girls 16 & under.
Rippable 3-5 ft. waves were wrapping across Salt Creek point all day Saturday allowing all groms the opportunity to connect multiple maneuvers all the way to the sand. Considering the small stature of the groms, the well overhead waves provided endless possibilities to draw perfect lines and repeatedly bash lips. As the sun peaked through in the early morning hours the waves starting firing off the point, and an unstoppable energy ignited across the beach with parents, friends, and fans attending the event to cheer their favorite groms on.
Branden Ragenovich from San Clemente, California came charging out of the gates landing a huge 180 frontside air on the first wave of Rip Curl's Gromsearch National Final. It didn't take long before other competitors in the Boys 16 & Under division flipped the switch. Jonathon Dupont out of La Jolla, California connected multiple maneuvers; slapping hard turns, powered hard off the lips, and flawless cutbacks in the hook earning him an event high score of 8.85. However, it was only the select few of the boys 16 & Under division competitors that proved they were able to combine their progressive surfing with dedication and consistency and push their way into their age division final.
Hometown hero and a kid to definitely be aware of in the future was Jamie Parkhurst (San Clemente, CA), whose frontside attack earned him sixth place in the Boys 16 & Under final. Taking fifth was Nic Lamb out of Santa Cruz and landing a solid fourth place finish was the smooth tailsides of Brandon Ragenovich from San Clemente, CA. First, second and third place went to the powerhouse trio from La Jolla, California, David Dupont (3rd place), Nico Becerra (2nd place), and Rip Curl's own supergrom Leandro Usuna taking the win.
"I'm so stoked to be competing with all the other guys, they all rip, and I'm stoked to be able to win a contest put on by my sponsor, Rip Curl!" exclaimed Leandro Usuna.
The competition in the Boys 14 and under division was intense with heats filled of some of the best groms in the region. Pushing their way through each highly competitive heat and into the final were Mike Powell out of Ocean Isle, NC (6th place) and edging it out for an equal 5th was Eric Owens (San Clemente, CA). Jeff Lukasik boosted his way into a solid 4th place finish while Daniel Shea drew strong lines landing him a well-earned 3rd place. Pushing his surfing to new competitive levels was Rip Curl's own Logan Strook, whose hard snaps earned him a second place finish. Brighton Brandenbuger ended up taking the title with the best overall surfing maneuvers.
The Boys 12 and under division showcased some of the hottest groms from throughout the nation at their best. The heats were fierce and filled with amazing talent keeping the judges on their toes. Surfing their hearts out and pushing hard into the main event were Kalohe Andino out of San Clemente(6th place), Eric Templeton out of New Smyrna Beach, FL. (5th place), and Virginia Beach ripper Michael Dunphy (4th place). Eddie Elles out of Huntington Beach, CA clinched 3rd with his explosive hits off the lip. Rip Curls own mini-grom, Dane Zaun out of Hollyglenn, CA pushed hard on the lefts, combining aerial maneuvers with stylish cutbacks landing him a solid 2nd place finish. Brent Reilly out of San Clemente had the crowd on their feet as he connected one section after another and threw in the occasional aerial maneuver allowing him to take home the Rip Curl Grromsearch National Final– Boys 12 and under title.
In the Girls 16 & Under final the future of America's women's surfing was on display. Fearless, dedicated charger Lexi Wilson out of Santa Cruz, CA surfed her way to a well-earned 6th place finish. Directly in front of Lexi were the impressive cutbacks of Erica Tow (San Clemente, CA) landing a solid 5th place finish. Coming in fourth was Caity Griffin out of Cardiff, CA and pushing her way into a 3rd place finish was hometown favorite Lexie Papillion. Putting up a solid fight for the title was the solid surfer out of Carlsbad, CA, Erica Tow. Combining wave knowledge with progressive surfing and taking home the Girls 16 & Under Rip Curl Gromsearch National title was Erin Griffin (Cardiff, CA).
"I want to thank Rip Curl for putting on such a good event and I also want to thank my sponsor, Plumeria Surfboards", said Erin after her Gromsearch victory.
"The national final couldn't have gone better," said Rip Curl team manager Scott Banuelos. "The groms were stoked, the waves were insane, and the beach was packed," he added. Every competitor was stoked to receive numerous prizes from all the Gromsearch sponsors: Transworld Surf, Dragon Optical, Reef, and Hansen's.
Rip Curl is proud to put on such an exciting event allowing groms from across the nation to surf in a fun and competitive environment.

|Part of a series on
A Mappila (Malayalam: മാപ്പിള), also known as a Muslim Mappila, Moplahs or Jonaka Mappila, is a member of the largest Muslim group in the Indian state of Kerala. The community arose primarily as a result of the pre- and post-Islamic Arab contact with Kerala, mainly based upon trade.[1]
Muslims of Kerala, of which Mappilas constitute a majority, make up a large community in Kerala state: 26.56% of the population. As a religious group they are the second largest after Hindus (54.75%).[2] Mappilas share the common language of Malayalam with the other inhabitants of Kerala. Islam reached Malabar Coast as early as the 7th century AD and was assimilated with the culture and traditions of the local people. Over the centuries, the strong relations of the Mappilas with the traders from Arabia have created a profound impact on their life and culture. This has resulted in the formation of the unique tradition in literature, art, music, and history of the Mappilas[3][4] Most of the Mappilas follow Shafi'i School, while a large minority follow movements that arose within Sunni Islam.
There's a difference of opinion on the exact origin of the word "Mappila" ("Moplah" in Colonial sources). By and large it is considered to be derived from a combination of the Malayalam language words maham ("great") or mam ("mother")[5] and pillai ("son").[6][7] Some people believe that Mappila means "Son-in-Law" as the Muslim visitors often married local women and thus became sons-in-law. (Tamil Mappilai = Son in law). Another opinion is that many of Hindu Nairs who adopted islam, were sometimes termed as the "Muslim Pillai", from this the term "Mappila" may have originated. "Pillai" is another term for the Hindu Nair community.
Mappila was a term originally used to denote visitors and immigrants to Malabar including the Muslims, Christians and the Jews, who became the trading communities of ancient Kerala. The Saint Thomas Christian community of southern Kerala are also called "Nasrani Mappilas".[8] The Muslims of ancient Kerala were referred to as Jōnaka or Cōnaka Mappila (Yavanaka Mappilas), to distinguish them from the Nasrani Mappila (Saint Thomas Christians) and the Juda Mappila (Cochin Jews).[9]
According to the 2001 census, about one-quarter of Kerala's population (or 7,863,842 people) were Muslims. Some have settled in other states within India. There are substantial numbers of Mappilas in nearby districts of Kodagu, Mangalore, Bangalore, Coimbatore, etc. Furthermore, a substantial proportion of Mappilas numbering between 3 million and 4 million people have left Kerala to seek employment in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. Remittances from these expatriate communities makes Kerala one of the main contributors of foreign exchange to the Indian economy.[10] former Minister of State for Railways E. Ahamed, is a notable politician from this community.
A small number of Mappilas have settled in the southern districts of Karnataka and western parts of Tamil Nadu, while the scattered presence of these people in major cities of India is comparable with other major communities in Kerala. The diaspora groups of Mappilas in Arab states of the Persian Gulf and Malaysia are comparatively large and, among the natives, they are also known as "Malabaris" or "Malwaris."
The long-standing Arab and later Portuguese contact (e.g. Goa) with the coastal areas of India left its permanent mark in the form of several communities. The Mappila community of Kerala came into existence through the immigration of Arab traders to these regions.[11][verification needed]
Early history[edit]
Islam came to South Asia before Muslim invasions of Indian subcontinent. Arab traders used to visit the Malabar region, which was a link between them and ports of South East Asia, to trade even before Islam had been established in Arabia. This relation started as early as the 4th century CE.[12] The Mappilas are the descendants of communities of Arab traders who had come to Kerala. These Arabs were primarily from the Hadramawt valley of Yemen.[13] The Mappilas are believed to be the first community of Muslims in India, and Islam may have been brought to the coasts of Kerala by the Arabs within a few years of Muhammad's proclamation of his mission in the 7th century CE, and Mappilas who were Islamized by the Arabs may be considered as the first native Islamic community in South Asia.[14]
The trade of Arabs in the Malabar coast prospered due to the rich availability of pepper and other spices from its land. With many other factors, the support they got from local Hindu rulers helped them to establish a monopoly in the commercial activities in the Indian Ocean.[15]
According to tradition, the first Indian mosque was built in 621 CE[16] by the last ruler of the Chera dynasty, who converted to Islam during the lifetime of Muhammad (c. 571–632) in Kodungallur and facilitated the proliferation of Islam in Malabar.[17] But this tradition hasn't found any historical evidence.[14] There are a few more legends of the Mappilas which relate them with early Hindu culture in Kerala; first one is regarding one Uppukutan Mappila who appears in the legend of Parayi petta panthirukulam (The twelve tribes born of a Pariah Woman) and another one is the story of Ouwayi, a Jonaka Mappila, who through extreme devotion made the goddess of Kozhikode appear before him.[18]
The 14th century Muslim traveller Ibn Battuta was surprised when he discovered that the Mappila communities near Calicut were the followers of Imam Shafi'i while the rest of the Indian Muslims were not.[citation needed]
European Era[edit]
The monopoly of overseas trade in Malabar was safe with the Arab-Mappila alliance until the arrival of Portuguese in Kerala.[19] At the time, a good number of Mappilas were enlisted in the naval force of Zamorin, the ruler of Calicut. The naval chiefs of the Zamorin were usually from the Mappila community; they were given the title of Marakkar. Initially, Portuguese traders were successful in reaching in an agreement with the Zamorin and hence got support from Mappilas. However, fearful of losing their monopoly in the trade-routes to Europe via the Indian ocean, the Mappila merchants persuaded the Zamorin to attack the Portuguese, killing the traders left behind by Vasco da Gama. This led to war between Calicut and the returning Portuguese fleets, who allied with their Hindu rival in Cochin.[20] During this period, Portuguese forces tried to establish monopoly in spice trade using violent methods against the Arabs and other Muslim merchants from the Middle East.[21] The possibility that a few Muslim traders from Basra, Damascus, Tunis and Egypt joined the Mappila community during this period can not be ruled out.[citation needed]
Portuguese-Zamorin relation deteriorated and the military of Zamorin, including Mappilas, engaged the Portuguese colonial forces in 1524 CE.[21] The Portuguese attacked and looted the town of Calicut. They set the town to fire and, in the arson, many buildings including the Jami' Mosque of Mappilas were destroyed.[22][23] Ships containing trading goods were drowned, along with thousands of merchants and their families; anyone who was an Arab was killed. All this resulted in the Mappila losing control of the spice trade they had dominated for more than a thousand years as well as losing more than half of their population at the hands of their enemy.
In the Mysorean invasion of Kerala, Mappilas gave support to the invading military of Hyder Ali in 1765.[24] In the following Mysorean rule of Malabar, Mappilas were favoured against the Hindu landlords of the region and the most notable advantage for the community during this time is the grant of customary rights for the Mappila tenants over their land. However, such measures of the Muslim rulers widened the communal imbalance of Malabar and the British colonial forces taking advantage of the situation allied with the Hindu upper-caste communities to fight against the Mysore regime. The British won the Anglo-Mysore War against Tippu Sultan and, consequently, Malabar was organised as a district under Madras Presidency. The British repaid landlord communities with a slew of measures: The first one being the abolishing of tenant rights over land.[25] The partisan rule of British authorities brought the Mappila peasants of Malabar into a condition of destitution which led to a series of uprisings against the landlords and British in 1921; it took in the form of a communal war known as Mappila Rebellion that lasted for six months and cost the lives of about 10,000 people.[25][26] Mohommed Haji was proclaimed the caliph of the Moplah Khilafat (Caliphate) and flags of "Islamic Caliphate" were flown. Eranad and Valluvanad were declared Khalifat kingdoms.[citation needed] The riot was controlled by the British military and many Mappilas lost their lives in the military action and many were taken as prisoners, mostly to Port Blair.
The book Moplah Rebellion 1921, offers an alternate explanation of the 1921 Moplah rebellion and its root causes.
Moplah led Khilafat movement and India's nationalists movement[edit]
Since the death of Tipu in 1792, the Malabar region had witnessed attacks by Moplahs on Hindus, and also attacks specifically on Hindus who tried to reconvert back to Hinduism, after Tipu's death. The book by C. Gopalan Nair, clearly shows a pattern of murders by the Moplahs the earliest being recorded in 1836, consistently year after year, leading to the 1921 riots. The Moplah resistance was not aimed at the British from 1836 to 1920. It was aimed at consolidation of the Muslim religion in Malabar district, to make sure Muslims did not re-convert, and also to instil fear of Muslims in that area, to push Hindus out of the area.

Choyikutty and his son were wounded and the Moplahs set fire to his house. They left Malappuram and on the way mortally wounded a Brahmin and proceeded to Trikalur Temple. The troops and the police surrounded the temple and opened fire. They effected an entrance by blowing in the doer, placing dynamite cartridges against it.
- 1 May 1885. A gang of Mappilas, consisting of T. V.

The^pctirn had become a convert to Islam many years ago and had reverted to his original religion fourteen years ago.
- 11 August 1885. A Mappilla named Unni Mammad entered the house of Krishna Pisharodi under the pretence of buying paddy. At that ti me the Pisharodi was bathing. Mammad Unni rushed past the attendants and with one blow of a hatchet, inflicted a mortal wound on Pisharodi's head.
- In 1894, a gang of Moplahs in Pandicad started on the war-path. They wandered about; defiling and burning temples where-ever they could, besides attacking and killing such Nairs and Brahmins as fell in their way.
- On 25-2-1896 a gang of twenty Moplahs went out on the • war-path from Chembrasseri Amsom and for five days in ever increasing numbers terrorised the countryside ; Hindus were murdered or their ' Kudumis ' cut off, and they were summarily converted to Islam. Temples were desecrated and burnt, Houses were looted in the search for food, money and arms. Finally on 1 March hard pressed by the pursuit of the troops, the fanatics entered the Manjeri Karanammulpad's temple.
- In February 1919, a gang of fanatics headed by a dismissed Moplah Head-Constable, began to give trouble. Following their usual methods they broke into and denied the temples, killed almost every Brahmin and Nair who fell in their way and finally died in resistance to the Police Force sent out against them.
The above events indicated that the British were handling a Moplah revolt, since the death of Tipu. The Moplah riots became an uncontrollable, macabre event, due to the poor foresight of the Indian National Congress. Having known that the Ernad taluk was smouldering with religious discontent, and violence since the death of Tipu, the Indian National Congress, at the instance of Gandhi decided to tie up with the Khilafat movement.
".....Mrs. Besant, who attended this Conference, made a splendid speech, protesting against the second part of the Resolution, but she was defeated and the non-cooperation resolution was carried by a large body of Moplahs, who formed the bulk of the audience and be- longed to the Ernad Taluk. " There were nearly a thousand delegates at the roughest calculation, most of them being peasants with a large sprinkling of Moplahs, coming from every nook and corner of Ernad Taluk in all stages of attire, some of them just corqe ; from the plough and the farm." (West Coast Spectator, dated 29th April, 1920). These were duped by political: leaders into passing a resolution on Khilafat, which they did not understand. ...."[27]
The seed was thus sown on 28 April 1920. If the Conference had been held at any other station outside Ernad Taluk, the Khilafat Resolution would never have been passed. Manjeri was the scene of more than one Moplah outrage, and was the last place where the Conference should have been held. In Ernad Taluk, the Moplahs preponderate and there was nothing surprising in the passing of the Khilafat Resolution with an overwhelming majority of Moplahs at the Conference.
The next stage was the visit of Messrs. Gandhi and Shaukat AH to Calicut on 18 August 1920, and their speeches on Khilafat and Non-co-operation which led to the establishment of Khilafat Committees in Malabar.
Once the stage was set for a broader role of the Moplahs in the Non-cooperation Movement, the stage was set for the raising of a Moplah corps for the purpose of this agitation. But throughout this time, the Khilafat movement did not align its activities with Congress. Instead it setup 100 Khilafat committees across the Malabar district, and recruited on its own. The speeches made in those meetings where done by religious leaders of the mosque, and not the political members of the Congress or the nationalist movement.
So, in enrolling, and allowing the Moplahs to organize themselves into a movement, Congress had committed a major blunder, as the book itself mentions "These were duped by political: leaders into passing a resolution on Khilafat, which they did not understand. ...."[27]
In the months to follow, the Moplahs raised a corps of 15,000 people, though the final arrests made at the end of the rebellion mentions the number as 38,000 plus. These corps started doing their own parades, and sooner that later, the religious agenda of Jihad had been brought in, as the macabre killings during the rebellion suggest. The book captures the fear of the District administration, following the growth of this armed resistance, and increase in ferociousness of their activities and plans.
"....but now, the District Magistrate felt that the unchecked continuance of such combustible demonstrations of contempt and defiance of constituted authority would result in riot and danger to human life, especially so, as one outcome of the previous meetings was an organised system of intimidation throughout the District ...."[27]
By end of 1920, the situation had gone out of control. The Moplahs, passed the Khilafat edict, declared Ali Musaliar as the Caliphate leader, and passed a resolution that they would collect taxes henceforth and not the British. These events snowballed into the eventual riots.
A section of Muslim community, to this day claim that the riot was a class revolt. However, it is clear from the above series of events starting from 1836 show that the Moplah uprising was there in the works for almost a century. It was sufficiently inflamed, and the series of mis-steps by the Indian National Congress in 1920, led the Moplahs to use religious doctrines to assemble a corps of armed resistance members. This was further aided and fueled by the religious speeches in Mosques, and the leadership of this movement by a cleric, Ali Musaliar. During the riots, much of the Kovilagams, and mansions of the upper class was raided, looted, women kidnapped and raped, and menfolk butchered. So, the Khilafat movement, had misused the legitimacy of a freedom struggle to put in place its own agenda of Caliphate, and the macabre, murderous agenda as set forth by its religious leaders.
In the aftermath of the riots, the following Moplah leaders were sentenced to death by the Courts of Madras, under British law in India.
- Ali Musaliar (Leader of the movement)
- Kunhi Kadir, Khilafat Secretary, Tanur
- Variankunnath Kunhammad Haji (decapitating a retired Muslim Inspector, and parading his head in a spear)
- Kunhj Koya, Thangal, President of the Khilafat Committee, Malappuram
- Koya Tangal of Kumaramputhur, Governor of a Khilafat Principality
- Chembrasseri Imbichi Koya Thangal ( Notorious for his killing of 38 men by slashing the necks and throwing them into a well.)
- Palakamthodi Avvocker Musaliar
- Konnara Mohammed Koya Thangal
The modern theological orientations amongst the Muslims of Kerala are primarily divided into three; Sunnis, Mujahids (Salafis) and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, though all these belong to the Sunni branch of Islam. The Sunnis referred here are identified by their conventional beliefs and practices and adherence to the Shafi'i madh'hab, while the other two theological orientations, the Mujahids and the Jama'ats, are seen as movements within the Sunni Islam. A minor group of followers may be found with Tablighi Jama'at. Both Sunnis and Salafis again have been divided to sub-groups.
It is a popular form of social entertainment among the Mappila community of Kerala, south India, prevalent all over Kerala. It is generally presented by females numbering about fifteen including musicians, as a part of wedding ceremonies a day before the wedding day. The bride, dressed in all finery, covered with gold ornaments, is the chief spectator; she sits on a peetam, around which the singing and dancing take place. While they sing, they clap their hands rhythmically and move around the bride using simple steps. Two or three girls begin the songs and the rest join the chorus.
Mappila Paattukal[edit]
Mappila Paattu or Mappila Song is a folklore Muslim devotional song genre rendered to lyrics in Arabic-laced Malayalam, by Muslims or Mappilas of the Malabar belt of Kerala in south India.[28] Mappila songs have a distinct cultural identity, as they sound a mix of the ethos and culture of Kerala as well as West Asia. They deal with themes such as religion, love, satire and heroism. Most of the mapillapatu are mixed with Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil etc. it keeps many 'ishals' (tunes), prasams (rhyming parts) and things like that. Moyinkutty Vaidyar is one of the oldest poets in mapilapattu.
Kolkkali is a popular dance form among the Mappila Muslims in Malabar. It is played in group of 12 people with two sticks, similar to the Dandiya dance of Gujarat.
Duff Muttu[edit]
Duff Muttu[29] (also called Dubh Muttu) is an art form prevalent among Mappilas, using the traditional duff, or daf, also called Thappitta. Participants dance to the rhythm as they beat the duff.

A strong recovery by premium car makers has led the German group Daimler to ramp up output and forecast a handsome profit for 2010 on Tuesday.
Investors were told two weeks ago to expect an upgraded outlook however, and profit-taking drove Daimler's share price down sharply in Frankfurt.
Daimler raised its core earnings guidance for the year to six billion euros (7.8 billion dollars) as second-quarter net profit pulled from a loss to hit 1.3 billion euros.
"We anticipate significant revenue growth in 2010 and we are targeting EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) from the ongoing business of six billion euros," an English-language statement quoted Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche as saying.
The group had earlier forecast earnings of four billion euros this year.
Its second-quarter net profit compared with a loss of 1.06 billion euros in the same period of 2009, meanwhile.
Daimler shares were nonetheless slammed on the Frankfurt stock exchange, losing 3.63 percent to 41.59 euros in late trading to top the list of falling stocks as the DAX index of leading shares was 0.39 percent higher overall.
Dow Jones Newswires quoted a trader as advising investors to "sell on good news."
On July 16, the auto giant reported a second-quarter operating profit of 2.1 billion euros, reversing a year-earlier loss of one billion euros.
The group said then that sales in the three months to June jumped to 25.1 billion euros from 19.6 billion euros a year earlier.
The results were led by Mercedes-Benz Cars, Daimler's auto division, and by stronger heavy truck sales, a sector in which Daimler is the world leader and which had suffered from the global economic slowdown.
"After surviving the crisis, Daimler has returned stronger to the race for the title of world's leading luxury car maker" that pits it against rivals Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen, and BMW, said Frank Schwope, an auto expert at the NordLB bank.
The leading contributor to Daimler's operating profit was its auto division, which transformed an operating loss of 340 million dollars in the second quarter of 2009 into a profit of 1.3 billion this time around.
The unit should earn an operating profit of four billion euros for the full year, Zetsche told a telephone news conference.
Like rivals, Daimler has benefited from a surge in demand from China, but the chairman said his group would not cut prices to gain market share there or focus excessively on one country.
"It's an important market," Zetche acknowledged, but the German group will not put "all our eggs in the same basket."
Chinese sales represent 14 percent of the total for Daimler "but volume remains smaller than in North America and in Europe so we're still very balanced," Zetsche noted.
Meanwhile, another key Daimler division showed signs of life, with sales of heavy trucks adding 300 million euros to the bottom line, compared with a loss of 508 million euros a year earlier.
Sales of Mercedes vans and busses also improved, and Daimler's financial services division showed a profit of 171 million euros.
Zetsche said in the statement that "our strategy is paying off: We have a very dynamic development of unit sales and revenue in all divisions."
The group forecast total sales would "increase significantly" this year from the 2009 figure of 1.6 million vehicles.

The sector of UK has developed a lot in the act years. The Overseas Property Investments have increased many folds in the recent years. The reports by Cushman and Wakefield have state that the loans in the area have hit the barrier of 98 percent which are much higher than the past years, the CRE that is estimated in this kind of commercial real estate is about to reach a target of 50 billion pounds that was never expected before.
However, with the rising technology and interest in the property the number has risen well in the recent past. The European region shows greater chances of getting the right kind of packages for the Overseas Property Investments. The people living outside Europe are very much interested in dealing with the properties over here and to invest in the property as well.
The present year has shown an uplift of 40 billion and the number seems to be increasing by time as well. The stats show that the economy position and the latest revenues are much more in favor of the Overseas Property Investments, which is being made by the foreign investors belonging to Asia and especially south Asia. The Irish Bank Resolution Corporation has said that the investors have obtained the loans for this purpose in the right time and in the great amount as well. This shoes the interest of the developers in the commercial property of England. As the government has proposed new and feasible rules for the investment in property, it certainly has become one of the greatest kinds of investment opportunity as well.
Mr. Montero who is a partner In EMEA corporation has stated that most of the loans have gone to the investors investing in the commercial area. The banks have never seen this kind of loan taking in the past. The first quarter has seen a great kind of rise in the loan transaction that was never expected before.
The greater kind of influences in the transactions at the greater kind of investments has provoked greater interest in the investment opportunities for the investors in the area. The investors have started to share in the Overseas Property Investments as well. The deals that were made in the area through the ideas and the transactional basis were counted to be up to 784 million, which is a great number too.
The large companies have successfully grabbed many deals based on large sized portfolios. The investors are getting more and more out of the deals that are made in the right kind of direction. The major companies have found newer ways to get their hands in the Overseas Property Investments and to get the finest kind of deals in their pockets too. The large portfolio sizes of the companies have made them to and the high profile deals in the company's account. The Finance reports suggest that there is a great deal of demand and supply in the transactions that were made in the recent year due to the commercial property investment. Thus there are loads of ways to invest in the area.

BEGINNER: error while loading shared libraries
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to get started with OpenFOAM (OpenFOAM-1.6), but I problems even running the tutorials! I'm trying to do the lid-driven flow tutorial. The foamInstalltiontest says that everything should be fine. Since I'm not a very experienced Linux user, I describe everything I do in detail since I might make fundamental mistakes that I hope you can help me detect....
The installation was made by a friend in a path called
and within this I created (whole pathway)
to which I copied the tutorials. I type in the terminal:
cd /usr/OpenFOAM/Karin/run/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity
According to the tutorials I should just have to type in the terminal:
to generate the mesh, but when I do this I get the following error message:
blockMesh: error while loading shared libraries: libmeshTools.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
In the case of installing OpenFOAM into a user defined directory, the path to the executables must be given. Did u check this part. For example if you just type the first part of blockMesh, like "block" and then hit tab to autocomplete. Does it show blockMesh?
Otherwise, try installing OpenFOAM into your home directory. If you wanna go as easy as possible with this one, try those scripts
by MadsR (who is also in this forum)
try this thread if you still have problems
Or just download the original OpenFOAM 1.6 from the website, unpack them as described on the website and follow the README instructions inside the OpenFOAM-1.6 folder.
Thanks for your reply!
When I type "block" and then tab blockMesh appears. However, if I type "libmesh" nothing appears. Does that mean that the file libmeshTools.so is missing? If so, can I download it?
I tried before to download straight to my user account, but couldn't get the installation test to work... Then I disocverd that it was downloaded on the other location and decided to use that instead.
I think that the path that are supposed to be set when openfoam is not installed in the home directory, are set right. Therefore, there might be a mistake that your friend made when he set up OpenFOAM.
This is is how to set the environment variables according to the OpenFOAM README.
*** Installation in alternative locations

Employee recognition programs can do a lot for employee morale and, indirectly, the company's bottom line. But before your company begins handing out gifts and special awards to the staff, check with the Payroll department. Why? Most gifts are fully taxable to employees. That's not much of a performance incentive. There are legal ways to avoid the tax trap, however.
The two most common employee recognition awards are for employee-of-the-month and attendance. Common as they are, though, many employers miss the tax-free mark on such awards. For example, giving a gift certificate or gift card is a popular and easy way to reward an employee. It's also completely taxable, since a gift certificate has a face value. There are three categories of tax-free employee recognition awards.
1. De minimis fringe benefits. Awards qualify as de minimis fringe benefits and may be excluded from recipients' incomes if they are:
- given occasionally;
- non-cash; and
- nominal in value.
Examples: plaques, certificates of achievement, mentions in internal newsletters.
2. Length-of-service awards. That gold watch, for example, can be pricier, but may not be given for fewer than five years of service.
3. Safety achievement awards. These awards are tangible, but must be limited to 10% of eligible employees a year. Managers can't receive these awards.
Length-of-service and safety achievement awards come with some additional strings. First, these awards must be part of a meaningful ceremony. Meaningful is flexible. Second, the maximum that any one employee can receive tax-free depends on whether you have a written plan that doesn't discriminate in favor of upper management. If you do, you may exclude up to $1,600 a year from an employee's pay. The average cost per recipient of all awards in a year can't exceed $400. If you don't have a plan, you may exclude only up to $400 from an employee's pay.
Many other items qualify as de minimis fringe benefits, in addition to employee recognition awards. What do all de minimis fringes have in common? Again, they're non-cash, have a nominal value, and are provided infrequently to employees. This makes them, overall, administratively difficult to account for. Examples: parties and picnics; traditional holiday gifts with a low value, such as turkeys; occasional tickets to the theater or a game; coffee and doughnuts; local phone calls; personal use of the company's photocopy and fax machines; and fruit, books, or other gifts given to employees on special occasions.
WHAT ABOUT OVERTIME?The value of employee gifts that are based on hours worked, production, or efficiency must be included in their regular rates for overtime calculation purposes. Safety achievement awards may fall into this category. Flip side: Length-of-service awards and de minimis fringe benefits can be excluded from the regular rate calculation.

Now that really irritates me. I hit the reply button, typed in a rational response and by the time I hit "Post Now", someone had closed the thread.
Well, it continues here....
Todd, you may not have preferences for parasitic ones, but they should not be treated as equal players. It makes for an unhealty playing field.
I rarely speak out about CJ and parasites (I'm too busy ragging them about their technical problems), but something about that statement really irked me. You should not have any parasites, preferential or not!!!!
April 9th, 2004, 02:41 PM #2
BTW, my intention was not to reopen a closed thread (I know that is frowned upon), but hey, I was in the middle of a reply post when it got closed and I was a little miffed that someone did that without any notice.
Sure would be nice when someone closes a thread if they would identify themselves and why. Yes, there were some out of line comments, but none I've seen here before that closed threads that quickly without reason.

I think that it may be closed because had little sense to continue the "Network Size Dispute" thread with parasite stuff.
May be those comments may be posted in a related thread, Ron I do not have anything against you or others, but sometimes it feels bad when one post about something and then nobody replies about it because other users posted unrelated "attacks", then even Todd came but replied to attacks and forgotten my original theme...

I did. I have never locked a thread in the past even though I have always had moderator rights. In this case, I thought the thread was getting off track and Ssanf was irritating me – nothing new but I am getting tired of it.
I completely understand everyone's concerns regarding parasiteware. We have a CoC that lays out how publishers need to treat our links and publisher webpages. We work very hard to keep these publishers in compliance and ensure that they are not out of compliance. Is the CoC perfect? No. Is it better than nothing? Yes. I believe that by working with certain publishers to ensure their compliance, it protect all the other publishers.
I do not enjoy playing moderator but I want to make these boards a place where people can discuss issues intelligently and openly without throwing mud or calling names.Todd Crawford

Seems a waste to use my 3,000 post for this, but since most of my posts are related to CJ I guess it is appropriate.
Thank you for letting us know who closed the thread. Like you using your moderator privliges rarely, I rarely (less than a handful of times) have been critical about CJ and parasites. It's just something I'm tired of, frustrated about, and simply not going to accept anymore.

Well, Leader how come you have never been a featured publisher?
CJ tells us plainly and clearly which kind of publishers they value. Featured publishers right now are
· MyPoints
· NetFlip
· Ebates
One would presume these certainly are among the ones that fall under the category of "top performing and up and coming" deserving publishers that the 10 have been hired to help.Comments are opinion unless otherwise noted. Remember, pillage first. Then burn. Half of all people in the world have IQs under 100. You best learn to trust ol' SSanf!

Someone hijacked the English language and made all the spelling funny.
Sorry about Hi Jack'ing the network size thread. I was just going to say that if parent company Valueclick decides that it is not in the affiliate network business, then LS is the top dog in affiliate marketing.
It is just that my blood boils whenever I think of the way that BeFree ran their program several years ago. I did not intend my post to be taken as a personal attack on Todd, but on a dangerous mindset that must be avoided. I will try to avoid saying hi to Jack in a post about Jill.

Featured Publishers:
From a quick look 8 out of 11 look ok.
They're only going to feature the biggest of the big, plus they have to have permission for them to feature you. What Leader said is true, the more you make the more help you get, that's with any network. I just got my issue of Internet Retailer where they did a story on just that, about FatWallet and how when they first started they were basically ignored until they started to produce.

Well, Leader how come you have never been a featured publisher?
Because takes more than being in the top 20 at a couple of merchants to be in the top 10 or 12 out of the entire network.
But that doesn't mean that anyone HAS to be a parasite in order to get featured. I'm sure that they'd be quite willing to feature me if I was bringing in a suitable amount of millions!There is no knowledge that is not power. ~Hemingway

I'm sure I'm somebodies top publisher.
I feel bad for them if that's the case.

Congrats Ron on your 3000th post and joining the rank of the professional ranters. Wear your getting a closed subject as a red badge of courage. Trust's pointed out the obvious reason the hire some Ad Whore interns to learn the ropes of pushing that link of CJ DOPERS. All affiliates posing as merchants getting clicks and traffic for other affiliates will feeding the networks with their doubling dipping schemes.
Tough to figure out how to earn a legit value-add commission and also run POS hijacking and getting credit for non-commission-able paths to a merchants site without some assistance. Is their an honest way someone can recommend to a veteran.Webmaster's... Mike and Charlie

...Or may be my post are overlooked because I am from the very south...? How come I usually post and other people start a whole new thread under my thread!
I am going to fill a petition under the ONU and Press Junction to not be censored by this thread camuflated attack called "out-of-topic invasion".

There's no doubt about it, finding good SEO talent is hard. Part of the reason for this is it doesn't take a rocket scientist SEO to know that you can make a lot of money just by participating in affiliate programs or other offering out there.
It's been suprising to me, however, recently to learn just how much some of these in-house SEOs are making in their spare time. I won't name any names, but I've recently been in contact with no less than 4 different SEOs who either work for an agency or an in-house marketing team that claim to make more than 6 figures on the side.
My question is this…if you are making 6 figures in your spare time, what the hell are you doing going to the office every day? Is it for the benefits – if so, I can find you some good health insurance you could probably pay for in the time you spent at home instead of at the office. Is it for the comraderie? I've held a ton of office jobs, and have lots of friends from them – but if I was making 6 grand from side activities I'd find other places to make friends.
And what about the employers? I know most large advertising firms have strict rules against moonlighting. But is running an affiliate deal really moonlighting? You're not in competition with your employer, who probably won't touch the deal with a ten foot pole.I'd be interested to hear from others on what their employers do in regards to this phenomenon. And I'd like to hear from some of the folks who are making this "scratch" (as one person told me to call it). Why do you stay at your job? If it's for the money, couldn't you make twice as much if you spent the time you spend at the office working more deals?
There is one other option. All of these people are lying to me to make themselves look good. I doubt that, but it's always a possibility. In the meantime, I'll be looking at some affiliate deals to start up. Hey, I know search as well as the next guy. Why can't I make 6 figures in my spare time?

First month of birth control - pregnancy?
Patient : Hello, I've just nearly finished my first month of being on a contraceptive pill. I took it as directed (start on the first day of your period and after the first week I will be covered from pregnancy). I have only had unprotected sex twice, the first time I was on the pill for 8/9 days (so after the first week) and my partner didn't come inside of me (sorry I had being so explicit), we used a condom after it. The second time was well into the 3rd week and we had full unprotected sex. I haven't missed any pill and I have done nothing to combat the affects of the pill. I have in the past few days had to use antibiotics but we used full protection as I know this can suppress the effectiveness of the pill. I'm due my period in a few days (Friday) and I am slightly freaking out that I am pregnant. I know I'm likely not to be but it would be nice to have someone to go through this with and explain it to. I have had the tiniest little bit of blood (I literally mean really tiny) in the past day or so and I'm just really confused about it all. My doctor didn't really explain much, he just gave me it, I have educated myself to a hight standard prior to starting this method of contraception, as I have been in a relationship for 3 years and we have only ever used a condom as our contraception and never ever had a pregnancy scare. I'm 21 years old and I normally wouldn't be so freaked out, however I would just really like someone to go over it with me and tell me not to be so worried! Thank you Mollie

install wine .9.20 to slackware 10.2 help?
tried to install wine with installpkg, and came up with a bunch of errors when i run "winecfg". can anyone recommend a work around to get it configured properly, or experiences/ techniques that did work. looking to get a built package working as opposed to compiling from source.
install worked ok (though apparently missing some config dialog):
root@box:~# installpkg wine-0.9.20-i486-S10.2.tgz
root@box:~# winecfg
my "c" partition is "fat-c" as per fstab. i'd like to set up a directory specific for wine. would a seperate partition (fat-c) be needed or would a directory (in linux) suffice labebled as "c:" work? would fstab, and mtab entries work along with registry mod be needed? please recommend how to go about configuring this?
btw, i've stfw, and only found one item specific, and the reply given was something like well it worked with my system :(. and i also tried to find posts here through the search engine, but received much unrelated.
thanks in advance!
some additional info during install attempts. picked up wine 0.9.20 files from here:
http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=9432 (wine-0.9.20-i486-1kjz.tgz) and here:
also noticed this:
there seems to be a lack of directory set up, and missing files. i manually created the .wine directory after the initial error stated it was missing. then upon looking in the .wine directory, it's a missing dos file(ie c: directories) which i'll assume is the problem right now.
i'll give 0.9.7 a try to see if it works
any machine integrity commands to verify that it's not my machine at issue would be helpful
thanks again!
update: 0.9.7 will load the graphical config tool when "winecfg" is entered at the console, whereas 0.9.20 doesn't.
there is still a problem when configuring the C drive partition though. i'll try manual entry in winecfg tool for mount point.
did "removepkg wine", and deleted leftover .wine directories, and reinstalled 0.9.7, ran "winecfg", and added "c" drive. looks like there is some progress being made. (recommended alternate was wine 0.9.9- couldn't find it, and tried 0.9.7 which looks to be OK).

ADAPTATIONS. Here is Fred of the Betorians , a species that lives in Lursaville . Lursaville is full of trees that Fred climbs to get the species' preferred food. The Betorians use their tails to climb up the trees.

Here is Fred of the Betorians, a species that lives in Lursaville.
Lursaville is full of trees that Fred climbs to get the species' preferred food. The Betorians use their tails to climb up the trees.
Some of the Betorians, such as Ethel above, have short tails or no tails at all. They are forced to scrounge on the ground and have found alternative food sources. However, they are not the most likely to survive because the food is more scarce than the food in the trees.
A destructive force depletes all of the trees and NONE survive leaving behind barren lands. The Betorians no longer need to climb trees to find their food. What will they do?
Ethel and the other short tails may now have an advantage over the other Betorians.
Ecological succession occurs, but only low growing grasses and bushes return.
Fred and the other long tails must now eat the low growing foods. They do not need to climb to reach them.
Ethel and her friend Marge, who has no tail at all, now have an advantage. They know the best low growing foods to eat.
Over time, thousands and thousands of years, the an advantage. They know the best low growing foods to eat.Betorians become a species without tails. Since they didn't need them to reach food that was high off the ground, those with small or no tails were able to survive better than those with tails. They adapted to their changed environment, survived, reproduced, and passed on their genetic trait of not having a tail.

- Artist: Mike Bailey
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 6/10/2003
|your cart is empty
Mike Bailey's new release, Point, is an unexpected gem: an eclectic mix of tunes from a low-profile songwriter with a knack for writing mysteries. It's not that Bailey's songs are inaccessible; some of the tunes on Point are downright catchy. But most have something else locked away: Find the one lyric that's the key, and the whole song opens up to reveal a deeper, and often darker, meaning. Take, for example, the song Annie, which at first listen appears to be about loneliness and finding friendship; but learn that it's about anorexia, and lines like 'The more I see of you, the less they see of me' take on a meaning that's so different and so obvious that you wonder how you missed it the first few times around. Then, there are songs like 'Something's Happened,' a story about a woman who quits her job, leaves home and settles on an isolated mesa, and about the man who follows her. There's no key to what that 'something' is, but after listening to the song enough, and absorbing the music, you might just get to understanding what that 'something' is, even if you, like Bailey, can't put it into words. Earnest vocals, soul-reaching songs and musical tripwires make Point a pleasure.

"When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." - Chief Aupumut, Mohican. 1725
The woman screamed in anguish, fist pumping against her chest, "What are you doing! Stop…stop can't you hear their screams!" She dropped to her knees in the middle of the clearing and crawled toward them begging, "What have you done? The forest bleeds…"
Rough hands dragged her away.
"Stupid Indian hag! Go home with your superstitious bullshit." A man yelled after her, following close behind waving a wad of papers in hand. "Land's mine brought and paid for. Git out of here and don't come around here no-more!" He sneered, eyes gloated with victory. Dumb Injun actually thought he'd leave the trees standing. Lies, all lies.
He was privy to the rumors circulating through town, about the wild woman who rescued strays by the edge of the forest. Animals that is, not people. She stayed to herself, preferring the company of trees and beast over neighbors. The new land owner let loose a hard laugh; Too bad witch, to each his own.
To each his own, the raven haired woman whispered, tears streaming down her face. Her chant lifted by the wind, flew swiftly toward the four directions. With a dagger she carved her plea in blood upon her skin. While whispers echoed in the ears of ancestors long gone and those yet to be born. She called forth the forest phantoms each by their sacred name; she called them one and all.
In the silence which followed, the moonlight vanished behind a storm cloud of raven wings carrying the old ones answer. They descend in darkness to flood the woman's mouth – choking, devouring her soul as they plundered the depths of what remained of her human shell. Her loyal dog ran the gamut and jumped into the swirl of wings and darkness; only to be swallowed whole. At night's end a beautiful creature stood muddied and half skinned, a rabid beast beside her. For vengeance has its price…
Don't go in the forest, for the forest contains secrets best left alone. The deeper you stroll; chances are you'll come across the savage undead. With a demented smile, she'll greet you warmly before tearing out your throat and leaving the remains for her loyal companion.
The woods they bleed no more.
"I cured with the power that came through me. Of course, it was not I who cured, it was the power from the Outer World, the visions and the ceremonies had only made me like a hole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds." - Black Elk, Oglala

If you're after a full ticketing system that includes reserved seating capabilities, we suggest taking a look at one of our awesome customers.
Do you offer a native iOS/Android component?
No we don't, not yet at least.
However, both Android and iOS have a component you can use to display part of web pages as part of your native mobile app. You could use these components to embed a seats.io seating chart.
For more information, please refer to the documentation for Android's WebView and iOS's WKWebView components.
How can I design a floor plan for a multi-level venue?
If the venue for which you're designing a floor plan has multiple levels, with seats located physically above
and below each other, you have two possible solutions: either you draw the venue as if the floors were not on
top of each other, with the seats on the lowest floor closest to the center of the floor plan. Or you can draw
the floors next to each other on the same seats.io chart.
Which of these two is the best option depends on a number of factors, but mainly on the actual number of floors. As a rule of thumb, we recommend to draw floors next to each other if you have more than 2 levels.
Can I temporarily reserve seats?
Yes, you can. See this recipe for more information.
I want to suggest best available seats for my users
For selecting best available seats, you have two options: what we call 'client side' and 'server side'.
Client side means that the ticket buyer sees a seating chart with the suggested best available seats highlighted. He can then choose to go with the suggested seats,
or pick other seats. To have the seating chart select best available seats, pass in the selectBestAvailable parameter to the chart.
On the other hand, server side best available is implemented as a server-side API call. When changing object status, you can request best available seats, instead
of passing in seat IDs. We figure out which seats are the best ones. With server-side best available, ticket buyers don't see the selected seats in a seating chart.
How do I sell season tickets?
Easy: specify an array of events instead of a single event in the renderer and in the API.
Can I print my floor plan?
Yes of course!
To do so, you'll need to render your floor plan in an html page, and then use the print functionality of your browser.
Use this code to render the floor plan:

var chart = new seatsio.SeatingChart({
divId: "chart",
publicKey: "[your public key]",
event: "[your event key]",
mode: "print"
Note the use of
mode: "print". This option will remove the zoom controls and make sure no object is selectable. For more info on the print mode option, check this page.
How can I prevent people from leaving empty spaces when selecting their seats?
In order to warn attendants about orphan seats, you should use the chart config setting
orphanSeats: 'warn' and pass a callback for
onOrphanSeatsChange like so:

var chart = new seatsio.SeatingChart({
divId: "chart",
publicKey: "[your public key]",
event: "[your event key]",
orphanSeats: 'warn',
onOrphanSeatsChange: function(orphans) {
if(orphans.length === 0) {
// ... code for a valid state, e.g. enabling the 'next' button in your form
} else {
// ... code for an invalid state, e.g. disabling the 'next' button in your form
Using warn will still allow orphan seats but these will be displayed with an exclamation mark and a tooltip asking the attendee to not leave any empty seats. That said, you should use the
onOrphanSeatsChange to validate the chart and prevent submitting a form with orphan seats.

Ghanaians head to polls in presidential run-off
People in Ghana have begun voting in a run-off election to choose the country's new president.
With two closely matched candidates, the race to succeed President John Kufuor has been tense and the campaigning incessant.
The governing New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Nana Akufo-Addo defeated John Atta Mills of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) by a slender margin in the first round, but not by enough to avoid this run-off.
Ghana has held successful elections before and has witnessed a peaceful transfer of power from one leader to another.
But there is a great deal of bad blood and mistrust between the main two political parties and accusations of election rigging have been made by both sides.
The NDC said it had noted irregularities in early voting in the run-off, while the NPP said opposition leaflets were trying to inflame tribal and ethnic tension.
President Kufuor has called for calm.
"I am appealing to all Ghanaians ... we should all keep cool, go and vote, as a peaceful exercise, as a legitimate exercise," he said
The polls are being closely watched as a litmus test of whether Ghana has truly consolidated its democracy.
Some 12.5 million people are eligible to vote in the election.
