Tuesday, 14 Jun 2011 08:38 PM
NEW YORK — Bono, The Edge, and Julie Taymor hugged each other and were all smiles as they posed for photos on the red carpet before "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" officially opened Tuesday night, a very public reconciliation from the creators who fell out as the show's problems mounted.
"We absolutely love Julie and always have. As artists, we've been very, very close. She poured her whole life into this project," Bono said outside the Foxwoods Theatre. "Tonight she's here to host it."
For her part, Taymor was gracious, saying the $70 million show was an attempt to do something different and difficult. "I'm delighted to be here tonight," she said. I'm very proud of it."
Taymor, the Tony Award-winning co-writer and director, was fired from "Spider-Man" after delays, accidents, poor audience reaction and money woes turned the musical into a punch line. The show was reworked from top to bottom and officially opened after a record-setting preview period.
Some critics couldn't wait to sink their teeth into the fresh Broadway offering. The Hollywood Reporter published its review online several hours before the 10 p.m. EDT embargo, prompting a furious response from producers.
"Everyone in this production has waited a very long time to get to this point, and it is incredibly disrespectful that certain members of the media won't wait a few more hours to post their reviews. We trust that no other outlets will stoop so low," it said.
Among the celebrities on hand for opening night were President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea, Matt Damon, Barbara Walters, Steve Martin, Liam Neeson, Vanessa Redgrave, Spike Lee, Andrew Lloyd Webber and John McEnroe.
"These guys have persevered," McEnroe said, before using a tennis analogy. "It's like a long five-setter but they're still in it."
The principal cast — Reeve Carney as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Jennifer Damiano as Mary Jane Watson, T.V. Carpio as a spider-woman named Arachne, and Patrick Page as the Green Goblin — have been with the production since the tortured beginning.
Asked what he'd learn about putting on a show on Broadway, lead producer Michael Cohl smiled. "It's much more difficult than I ever expected," he said. "God shows you: When you get cheeky, calm down. You ain't seen nothing yet."
The show's planned opening was initially set for Feb. 18, 2010, but financial issues forced producers to suspend work. A new opening was set for Dec. 21, but that was pushed back to Jan. 11, then again to Feb. 7 and then to March 15. "Spider-Man" has broken the record for the longest preview period in Broadway history.
Injuries to several cast members — including a 35-foot fall by a stunt actor playing the web-slinger that left him with a skull fracture and cracked vertebrae — have marred the production, as well as the defection of a lead actress after she suffered a concussion.
Many theater critics grew impatient and their reviews that appeared in early February — a violation of the established agreement by critics to wait for opening night to weigh in — were mostly savage pans.
Producers finally intervened in March, firing Taymor and shutting down the show for four weeks to retool. Taymor was replaced by Philip William McKinley, who directed the Hugh Jackman musical "The Boy From Oz," in 2003.
McKinley, former director of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey, said the red carpet reminded him of the Big Top. Asked how he felt, McKinley said: "Relief as well as excitement," adding "Here we go."
Co-book writer Glenn Berger and newly hired playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who has written comic books and for the HBO series "Big Love," toned down the story's darker themes, and expanded the romantic angle between Peter Parker and Mary Jane.
Consistently strong weekly revenues are critical for the show to break even and to begin repaying investors. Last week the show earned $1.2 million — a little more than 60 percent of its $1.9 million potential.
"We've heard all the news about it," said author Janet Langhart, married to former Defense Secretary of Defense William Cohen. "Finally we're turning on the light."

Distinct Epigenomic Landscapes of Pluripotent and Lineage-Committed Human Cells

Ecker and Bing Ren
SummaryHuman embryonic stem cells (hESCs) share an identical genome with lineage-committed cells, yet possess the remarkable properties of self-renewal and pluripotency. The diverse cellular properties in different cells have been attributed to their distinct epigenomes, but how much epigenomes differ remains unclear. Here, we report that epigenomic landscapes in hESCs and lineage-committed cells are drastically different. By comparing the chromatin-modification profiles and DNA methylomes in hESCs and primary fibroblasts, we find that nearly one-third of the genome differs in chromatin structure. Most changes arise from dramatic redistributions of repressive H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 marks, which form blocks that significantly expand in fibroblasts. A large number of potential regulatory sequences also exhibit a high degree of dynamics in chromatin modifications and DNA methylation. Additionally, we observe novel, context-dependent relationships between DNA methylation and chromatin modifications. Our results provide new insights into epigenetic mechanisms underlying properties of pluripotency and cell fate commitment.

Facilitators and Impediments of the Pluripotency Reprogramming Factors' Initial Engagement with the Genome
Cell, Volume 151, Issue 5, 21 November 2012, Pages 994-1004
Abdenour Soufi, Greg Donahue and Kenneth S. Zaret
SummaryThe ectopic expression of transcription factors can reprogram cell fate, yet it is unknown how the initial binding of factors to the genome relates functionally to the binding seen in the minority of cells that become reprogrammed. We report a map of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (O, S, K, and M) on the human genome during the first 48 hr of reprogramming fibroblasts to pluripotency. Three striking aspects of the initial chromatin binding events include an unexpected role for c-Myc in facilitating OSK chromatin engagement, the primacy of O, S, and K as pioneer factors at enhancers of genes that promote reprogramming, and megabase-scale chromatin domains spanned by H3K9me3, including many genes required for pluripotency, that prevent initial OSKM binding and impede the efficiency of reprogramming. We find diverse aspects of initial factor binding that must be overcome in the minority of cells that become reprogrammed.

Cell-Type-Specific Control of Enhancer Activity by H3K9 Trimethylation
Molecular Cell, Volume 46, Issue 4, 25 May 2012, Pages 408-423
Yina Zhu, Dominic van Essen and Simona Saccani
SummaryCell-type-specific control of gene expression is critical for the development of multicellular organisms. To investigate the mechanisms which underlie this, we have studied the regulation of the model genes Mdc and Il12b, whose stimulus-induced expression is tightly restricted to specific cells of the immune system. Surprisingly, we find that neither the promoter nor the enhancer sequences of these genes are sufficient to direct this cell-type specificity. Instead, the activities of upstream enhancers are repressed in nonexpressing cells by high levels of trimethylated H3K9 in their flanking regions. Genome-wide analysis indicates that this manner of regulation is shared by numerous enhancers of cell-type-specific genes. In dendritic cells and macrophages, the stimulus-induced demethylase Jmjd2d controls H3K9me3 levels at these regions, and is thereby required for Mdc and Il12b transcription. By experimentally assaying multiple enhancers in a variety of cell types, we show that regulation by H3K9me3 is a widely used mechanism which imparts specificity to the activities of otherwise broadly functional enhancers.

Graphical Abstract
► Development of a method for kinetic measurements of chromatin modification in vivo ► Mathematical model defines propagation and extent of heterochromatic domains ► Oct4 can be rapidly activated by directed transcription within 48 hr in fibroblasts ► Heterochromatic islands are stably propagated in the absence of initial stimulus
- Posttranslational histone modifications are important for gene regulation, yet the mode of propagation and the contribution to heritable gene expression states remains controversial. To address these questions, we developed a chromatin in vivo assay (CiA) system employing chemically induced proximity to initiate and terminate chromatin modifications in living cells. We selectively recruited HP1α to induce H3K9me3-dependent gene silencing and describe the kinetics and extent of chromatin modifications at the Oct4 locus in fibroblasts and pluripotent cells. H3K9me3 propagated symmetrically and continuously at average rates of ∼0.18 nucleosomes/hr to produce domains of up to 10 kb. After removal of the HP1α stimulus, heterochromatic domains were heritably transmitted, undiminished through multiple cell generations. Our data enabled quantitative modeling of reaction kinetics, which revealed that dynamic competition between histone marking and turnover, determines the boundaries and stability of H3K9me3 domains. This framework predicts the steady-state dynamics and spatial features of the majority of euchromatic H3K9me3 domains over the genome.

it is customary and expected to give 50% of its retail value.. so if something is vvorth $100, it is standard to give $50 for example.. but that's not alvvays the case..
Mike and Frank definitely come across as consistently lovv balling people, and it just seems its the elderly vvho get the brunt of these lovv offers.. just b/c its junk sitting in the back yard, doesn't mean they should get ripped off, nor does it mean if the seller agrees, its a fair deal and the seller should knovv better. its a business and Mike and Frank need to make money but clearly there is a reason vvhy so many people are saying they are super cheap.. Pavvn Stars members even mentioned they lovv ball you..
there are deals that come across as fair.. but like in last nights premiere, one guy vvas giving them fantastic deals, approx. 10% of the retail value on some items..and Frank and Mike tried to continue and take advantage of that.. yes its a business, yes they acknovvledged the great deals they vvere getting but it just seemed distasteful vvhen Frank ask the guy to throvv in an antique toy car vvith this old tv, saying the toy car is only valued at $50, then right after saying he'll sell it for $100 .. so yes, $50 is a fair price.. but he vvanted it to be included for free vvith a tv that vvas valued over $300 (one tvventy five for the tv and the toy car) .. but the seller definitely lost out on the deal as he vvanted one tvventy five for the TV.. and ended up adding this toy car to the deal.. vvhich, just seemed unfair..
its not that the deal vvas a rip off or bad but i didn't like that vvhen the guy said the car vvas vvorth $100, Frank disagreed saying it vvas only vvorth $50 to his face, only for a fevv minutes later to say indeed the car vvas indeed vvorth $100.. it just seemed distasteful after the seller vvas giving them great deals!

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I had so many problems with the first receiver out of the box that I took it back. Bose did replace it with no hassle. I then had problems with the remote which they replaced. The second system would turn on in the middle of the night on it's own. I do like the multiple zones and for movies the sound isn't bad although I have a small space. The actual CD/DVD player they selected to put in the unit is of very poor quality. I can play discs in both my computers that the Bose will never read. The slightest scratch or error cause the unit to lock up. So does using the optical input on the aux input. It lacks midrange sound and if you play music while the surround is on the rear speakers sound just goes on and off periodically making it annoying. You have to have the TV on in order to follow menus because they scrimped on the display, which sucks if you use a projector and have to turn it on to select settings for music. I would not buy this or any other Bose product again. They are over priced and you are paying for marketing. The only reason I bought this unit was because of the small form factor with the speakers, which sounded good in the showroom. It works in a small condo without being obtrusive.

A Washington Post poll would have confirmed popular wisdom. It is blue collar workers who suffer the most during economical crisis. Poll "reveals that may low-wage workers in the United States are struggling to pay for their essential needs, such as housing, food and health care". And "the gap between the lowest and highest US wages has widened as it never has since the 1920s".
'Low-wage US workers suffer the most'
Sun, 03 Aug 2008 21:06:34
A recent poll shows that economic difficulties have worst hit the country's low-income workers, who face growing financial insecurity.
The poll, conducted by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University, reveals that may low-wage workers in the United States are struggling to pay for their essential needs, such as housing, food and health care.
The data was collected from 1,350 randomly selected people between the age of 18 and 64, who earned $27,000 last year by working a minimum of 30 hours a week.
Low-wage workers, who generally regard themselves as the working class, are more likely to be from the younger age groups. They also tend to be less educated than the general public, as most hold no more than a high school degree. Around half have families that earn an approximate sum of $42,000 annually, which is no more than double the poverty-level income for a family of four.
The gap between the lowest and highest US wages has widened as it never has since the 1920s. Low-income workers have not experienced a pay-rise for some time. This is while the larger portion of work rewards goes to the better-educated and better-paid employees.
With US inflation up 5 percent in the past year, the majority of those surveyed said they found it more difficult to pay for gas, save for retirement or put money aside for their children's college education. Most said they had trouble affording health care and housing, and nearly half said they had difficulty paying for food.
The majority are even trying to lower their expenditures by minimizing their electricity and heating costs or postponing necessary medical or dental care.
Half of low-wage workers said they felt 'less secure' financially compared to a few years ago, while 41 percent said they had borrowed money from friends or relatives to get by. Almost half said they would only survive a month before landing in financial trouble if they suddenly lost their jobs.
Nearly half of respondents said their personal financial situation was worse under President Bush, while only 11 percent said things had got better. The majority also said the best years for finding a job has passed.
A majority of those surveyed said they expected the government to provide cheaper health insurance, more affordable fuel, financial aid for higher education, and public works jobs. Half of low-wage workers also said the globalization of trade had made things worse for the country as a whole.
Rahul, good stuff.
rahul, I like this story. It's good stuff. That's a pretty much a given, as Trump never feels a thing.
The guys on top scoop up more and more of the profits, never thinking to share it with the workers who have made their profits possible. Ethical? NOT!

Japan has more than 30,000 suicides a year for over 14 years— one of the highest rates among industrialized nations. On average, someone in Japan dies by his own hand every 15 minutes, usually a man. The Aokigahara Forest is the most common place to commit suicide in Japan, and it is widely thought to be the second most likely site in the world, after the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The reasons are complex.

Earlier this year I came up with an idea to start a college scholarship program as my way of giving back to individuals, like myself, who were pursuing higher education. Having limited resources, I decided that that was not an excuse to hold off on executing my plan. So I went on ahead and launched the DreamHouse "Make A Difference" College Scholarship opportunity this past July. There were only two requirements to apply: college enrollment and a 500-word essay. Students would have until September 30th to submit their essays, and myself along with my review committee, whom I recruited for this particular project, would choose what we thought to be the best essay. The winner would receive a $500 prize.
With that said, I'd like to congratulate Mr. Christion Pettaway of Mount Vernon, New York. Christion is a Freshman at SUNY Delhi and is currently majoring in Architectural Design and Building. Christion submitted an essay on strengthening communities, concentrating on the concept that it takes a village to raise a child. "Since the youth are the future, it is in the best interest of everyone to help them be the absolute best that they can be." I agree with that 100% Christion! Congrats again! Me and my DreamHouse family wish you much success in all that you do. Keep winning!!!

Yale Fox is one of the world's only Nightlife Psychologist – if not the only one. With a deep rooted passion for music, Fox studies its effects on human behavior, particularly within nightclub culture. During the day he is a social media and branding consultant for many of the world's most known companies.
Yale Fox is an expert in evolution at the Biological, Psychological and Sociological level. His research once focused on the evolutionary origin to music, and what factors influence popular taste. In 2010, Fox wrote a paper on how music can be used to drive bar sales in a nightclub environment. It was written under supervision of Dr. Kip Pegley at Queen's University in Canada. He was also the first to write and publish about Musical ADD which he did so under supervision by Dr. Robert J. Brym at the University of Toronto. In 2011, he successfully proved the link between the state of the economy and what's trending in popular music.
His research has appeared in dozens of publications, international documentaries, textbooks and online periodicals. Although still passionate about music, Fox has shifted his focus to a few different areas:
1. Examining the imperfections of biological evolution. Agreed, it's a miracle how we all exist today – but we are far from perfect.
2. The increasing number of Internet connected mobile devices and their effect on every day life. Social Media and Technology are a natural extension of the human body. He discusses what that means for the future.
3. The unequal distribution of power among classes in society, and how we can use mathematics and technology to fix this problem.

Yesterday or the day before, I decided to change the theme for this blog, and I did change a few things like the header picture, it was nice but I just realised that its quite embarrasing =.=" So I changed it back to the same old image, the one I'm using right now.
I bet I sound like I'm desperate for a new blog post.
I really, really need to move down the last post. Aiman and Adzwin, if you're reading this, you know why.

3 Powerful Tips To Overcome Fear
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Nervous by Ethiopian |
As usual, I'm sharing another article I found over the internet. This is a MUST-READ article!! It's not a long one. It won't take you more than 10 minutes to read the whole article. So, please, continue reading (^__^)v
As humans we all experience fear, even some of the most successful and confident people experience fear. Fear can be a good thing because it prevents us from taking steps that can harm us, but quite often our fears are based on exaggerated assumptions. These fearful thoughts come in the ways of working towards our goals & dreams.
Some of the common fears we experience:
- Fear of failure
- Fear of being rejected
- Fear of not meeting our own expectations
When we realize that we're being excessively fearful, how do we over come them? Here are 3 ways:
1. Have Proper Perspective
The reason for the fear is often because our perspective of the situation is skewed. Our fears are based on wrong assumptions. By correcting these assumptions we get a proper perspective on our situation.
Put your fearful thoughts in perspective by asking the following questions:
- What is the worst that can happen if my fear came true?
- What is more likely to happen if that fear were to be actually realised?
- What is the best outcome possible for me, if I acted in spite of my fear?
Once you've answered them, discuss these questions with a close friend. Getting another point of view on the situation will help in getting a proper perspective. You'll realize that:
- The worst possible outcome isn't so bad, and is something you can handle.
- The best possible outcome is very rewarding.
2. Replace Fear with Curiosity
I learnt this lesson from a National Geographic ad. When you're fearful you create a barrier of separateness between yourself and the world/other people. This perception of other becomes a threat, and you have thoughts like "What will he think of me?", "What if it doesn't work out?", "What if I fail?". These thoughts close a person from taking action.
But when you're curious it opens you up, and brings in enthusiasm. Thoughts of fear are replaced with thoughts of curiosity.
So to be more curious, replace the negative thoughts of fear like "I'm afraid they'll not like my idea" with "I'm curious to know what others think". Become an interested person who's open to new ideas & experiences.
3. Trust in Allah:
Allah says in the Qur'aan: "Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." [Qur'an Chater 2 Verse 277]
If you have trust in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, then you can overcome anything. Allah also reassures us in the Qur'aan that:
"If Allah helps you, none can overcome you: If He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? In Allah, then, let believers put their trust." [Qur'an Chapter 3 Verse 160]
If you believe from the depths of your heart that the Creator of the universe wishes the best for you, then no matter what happens, you won't be worried. As long as you know you're taking the right action then no matter what the outcome is, you'll surrender to it with peace. There's nothing to be afraid of, because there is nothing better than being content with the knowledge that the Creator of the universe is doing what is best for you.
Once you've taken action in spite of the fear, take time out to celebrate! This will reinforce in your mind that having the courage to face your fears is a rewarding experience.
Be fearless – Be Muslim.

We're running out of time
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Looks like I haven't been writing here for quite sometime. I had Biochemistry exam last Tuesday and there will be two coming exams for me next week. Physiology and Philosophy. =.="
The article below is about 'TIME', I copied from a book review.
We live in an era where time has little value and the accumulation of wealth overshadows our desire to attain beneficial knowledge. As you go through this treasure trove you soon come to realise how we are regretfully not of those people who know the true value of time. Instead we fritter it away, giving other irrelevant tasks weight compared to attaining and spreading beneficial knowledge, and we have lost a zeal for investing in good deeds – the one thing which will outlast us when we leave this world.
Time is defined as in the book The Value of Time by Shaykh 'Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah as 'the loftiest and most precious of all primary blessings' and 'is the substance of life, the sphere in which man exists, the citadel of his spirit, and his subsistence – him benefiting himself and others'. As many of us know, Allah swears by time in the Qur'aan in Surah Al Asr, so we should ask ourselves that if we are at a loss with time then wouldn't the intelligent and wise people invest their time in the actions that will outlast his existence in this world? One highlight of this short yet comprehensive treatise is that it can change your perspective of time, so you come to realise the invaluable deed of attaining knowledge as being your goal in life.
Let's give some thought to this paragraph:
'Is your life in this universe anything other than the time which passes between birth and death? Gold can vanish, but you may acquire many times what you lose. But you cannot return lost time that has passed! Therefore time is more precious than gold, and dearer than diamonds or any precious stone or any profit, FOR IT IS LIFE ITSELF.'
"for Allah has warned us of those who are wasteful with time and says: Did we not grant you a life long enough for him who reflected to reflect therein?" [Quran Chapter 35 Verse 37]
Just remember, during the Mahsyar period, at the Siratul Mustaqim bridge, there will be angels on the right and on the left of the bridge monitoring each of us to pass by, either as fast as the lightning, or the wind, running, or walking and of course, there will be many who will not be able to pass through as the hell fire will be continuously pulling their leg. For every 1000 people who will be passing through it, only 1 one will succeed. ONLY ONE!!! 999 will fall into hell. Na'uzubillahiminzalik. Our time is running out. Use it wisely, for this dunya and particularly the akhirat. InsyaAllah.

What I got from facebook today
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
These are some of the 'materials' I got after browsing my facebook account today.
A friend of mine posted :
"When you are in the light, everything follows you. But when you enter into the dark, even your shadow doesn't follow you."
Another 'material' is a video.
Let us pray to Allah the Almighty that Palestine will be free. InsyaAllah.
One more thing, do you think that the keffiyeh a.k.a Palestinian scarf has becoming a trend to people around the globe? Even to the non-Muslims?
I think it's true. For the past few weeks, I was searching for any Poles who wear the Palestinian scarf to wrap it around their neck. And guess what. There were many of them! But I'm quite sure that they didn't know that the pattern of the scarf they were wearing is the pattern of the Palestinian scarf!
Awww, they're so cute! |
This is a picture from ebay, i found it while I was searching for the scarf. But of course, the people here don't wear it this way! xD |
You see the picture above? There's a story behind it. Here's what I got from the internet.
Dunkin' Donuts, the biggest world coffee chain with bakery and pastry, has pulled an ad where the TV chef Rachael Ray wore a scarf similar to the Palestinian scarf. This caused protests from some conservative people.
Ray had been hired in March as face and spokesman for a Dunkin' Donuts ad. Dunkin' Donuts is a company that operates many stores in United States and other countries. They offer breakfasts, foods and breads.
In a recent ad distributed by Internet, Ray appears with the "keffiyeh", the traditional Palestinian scarf (also used by other Middle East citizens), on her shoulders while she holds an iced coffee cup in her hand.
Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin wrote on her website: "The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad".
Some related links:
Youtube 1 (Most of the civilians don't even know about it. It's all POLITICS.)
You tube 2 (It's. Just. A. Doughnut. Ad.)
p/s: I just found out that the phrase "when you are in the light...." was quoted by hitler (i did a little Googling)

The Last Sermon of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
The last sermon of the Prophet-peace be upon him- is known as Khutbatul Wada'. It is mentioned in almost all books of Hadith. Following Ahadith in Sahih Al-Bukhari refer to the sermon and quote part of it. See Al-Bukhari, Hadith 1623, 1626, 6361) Sahih of Imam Muslim also refers to this sermon in Hadith number 98. Imam al-Tirmidhi has mentioned this sermon in Hadith nos. 1628, 2046, 2085. Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal has given us the longest and perhaps the most complete version of this sermon in his Masnud, Hadith no. 19774.
This Khutbah of the Prophet-peace be upon him- was long and it contained much guidance and instructions on many issues. The Prophet-peace be upon him- gave this sermon in front of a large gathering of people during Hajj.
Whosoever heard whatever part of the sermon reported it and later some scholars put it together. It is a great khutbah and we should all pay attention to its message and guidance. Following are the basic points mentioned in this khutbah:
O People
Lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefor listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.
Lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefor listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.
O People
Just as you regard this month, this day, this city as sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. Allah has forbidden you to take usury (interest); therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity.

You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity.
Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all interest due to Abbas Ibn 'Abd al Muttalib (the Prophet's uncle) shall henceforth be waived.
Beware of Satan for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.
O People
It is true that you have certain rights in regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives, only under Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat you women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with anyone of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.

Perform Hajj if you can afford to.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white- except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim, which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not therefor, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone. People, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well therefore, O people, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and the Sunnah (Hadith), and if you follow these you will never go astray. All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listened to me directly. Be my witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed your message to your people."
"…This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My Grace upon you, and have chosen Islam for you as your religion…" (Quran 5:3)
"I will try to follow your way
And do my best to live my life
As you taught me
I pray to be close to you
On that day and see you smile
When you see me
Sallu 'ala Rasulillah, Habibil Mustafa
Peace be upon The Messenger
The Chosen One"
And do my best to live my life
As you taught me
I pray to be close to you
On that day and see you smile
When you see me
Sallu 'ala Rasulillah, Habibil Mustafa
Peace be upon The Messenger
The Chosen One"

Reviving The Islamic Spirit (RIS) Winter 2010-Toronto
Reviving the Islamic Spirit Knowledge Retreat is an annual program held around the RIS Convention to give seekers of knowledge an opportunity to study traditional Islamic sciences, in contemporary context, with some of the leading scholars of our time. Knowledge is the greatest gift a believer can share and it is through such gatherings that students are introduced to the depth and breadth of Islamic scholarship. Rarely do Muslims living in the west get such opportunities and hence RIS KR strives to provide a conducive environment for students to purse their quest for knowledge and enlightenment by studying the traditional sciences preserved through a chain of transmission handed to us through great scholars of the past.
The theme for this winter is 'Living Life Prophetically'.
Find more infos about this convention through these links:
I sure wish I could attend this convention! But...
Oh well, if it's God's will, I'll go there someday. Someday.. InsyaAllah

One word. MASTERPIECE.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Oh my gawsh!! This is brilliant right? Jon Schmidt is totally a genius. FYI, he is the one who arranged this masterpiece. He is known as the new age classical pianist. And I think it really suits him. The combination of the cello and piano was..was..I don't know what to say but it's definitely awesome. I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song. Maybe later on it will dwindle away.
Many people have made a cover of it on youtube. Some even add drums and guitar and some add drums using iPhone. When I get back to Malaysia, (which is in like nine months from now, sheesh) I am definitely going to learn this piece and play it myself, insyaAllah.
Compared to the songs by musicians I've listened to like Paul Mauriat, Yanni, Richard Clayderman, Kenny G etc. I think Jon Schmidt's 'Love Story meets Viva La Vida' is the most beautiful piece I've ever listen to.
It's so calm, yet it gives me a little bit of adrenaline rush and some goosebumps. It makes me think of beautiful views (like in a fairytale :p) ughh puh-lease. And it reminds me of 'Letters to Juliet' movie.
By the way, I'm in Warsaw now. Ready for my second year of medical school. Wait, did I just typed ready? LOL. I hope I am. (Ready I mean). Warsaw is a little better now. The Poles as well. They are less rude..hehhe..Maybe I took less notice of them. Or maybe I managed to ignore them. That must means less stress. Yay! :p
One more thing, I found this first quote and it led me to the second.
1) Life is a tragedy for those who feel but a comedy to those who think.
2)A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
3)Life is no Nintendo game. (hahahh...do you recognize that??) :DD it's one of the songs in my recent playlist.
In a nutshell, (cehh skema, ayat karangan BI, bluekk) Live life! Viva la Vida! Tapi ingat Tuhan jugak ye :DD

Would I have any luck fighting this?

Would I have any luck fighting this?
I got a speeding ticket several days ago, and upon looking over it I've found multiple errors and misnomers.
1) He spelled my name wrong.
2) He got the model of my car wrong, actually left it off altogether.
3) He indicated that he verified I have insurance, when in fact he didn't. He even told me he wasn't going to.
4) He put a very ambiguous road name. He indicated "Farmersville Pike" when there are at least three roads nearby which technically could be called Farmersville Pike. The correct road name is "Germantown-Farmersville Pike".
Furthermore, during the traffic stop he made himself look pretty foolish. I have a CCW, and you're supposed to declare whether or not you have a weapon with you in the car. Normally I do so the very second I get a chance, without interrupting the officer of course.
The officer asked me as soon as I rolled my window down, actually never giving me a chance to declare it myself. I said "Actually yes, I do..." and he went on to tell me I'd committed a crime by not declaring it to him, even though he never gave me a chance. He went on to say "You've VERY lucky I'm not arresting you over this... Actually, I'm not really sure if I could arrest you or not... but you'd be in a lot of trouble if this was anyone other than me!!"
He basically told me I was lucky he wasn't arresting me over a law he actually doesn't even know the ins and outs of.
Would I have any luck fighting the ticket? I really would love to get it dismissed, but I also don't want to to waste my time and have to pay court costs if there isn't much of a chance in fighting it.
This is only the second speeding ticket I've ever gotten, and I've never been to court before, so I really don't know much about the process.

Has anyone stayed in Winsor House Heritage Inn, Wesleyville or the Captain's Legacy Bed and Breakfast? Which is nicer and more scenic area? Also is it worth seeing this area?
Thanks so much. Joan

We stayed at the Captain's Legacy last summer and enjoyed it very much. Nice room(Captain's Quarters), friendly hosts, and good breakfasts. Twillingate was one of our favorite areas even though the weather wasn't great while we were there. Many pretty fishing villages in the area.
Report Abuse
Joan, although I haven't stayed at either of the accommodations you inquired about in your initial post, I did stay in another B&B in Twillingate this past May that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. www.harbourlightsinn.com
Regardless of which of these two facilities you choose, I believe that you would enjoy your stay in the Twillingate area in September more than Wesleyville. The rocky coastline makes this area is more geographically interesting and there seemed to be more options for tourists open during the shoulder season (May & September). If the ferry is still running, you could spend a day going out and back to the Change Islands to view the smaller fishing villages and experience the rocky coastline from the water.
The Highway 330 loop will give you an entirely different feel with its salt water marshes and sandy beaches, although I was disappointed that we often did not have a view of the ocean from the highway. Finding an open restaurant proved to be a challenge when we were there in late May, although I do not remember specifically driving into Wesleyville to look for tourist facilities.
Newfoundland is a treasure and I'm sure that you will enjoy having the island pretty much to yourself in September, just as my husband and I did last May.

Hope you see this reply and thanks so much for the info. We have decided on last week of May and first week or so of June. I really want to see icebergs. Did you get many foggy days when you were there? We will probably stay at the Captain's Legacy and going to Trinity, St. Anthony, Gros Morne. We were in Nfld. 35 years ago, so will see a huge difference.
Thanks again, Joan -

Joanda, you might still see iceburgs off St. Anthony in July. We had to take a tourboat farther out than it usually goes, but we saw a beauty a few years ago. Just in case you change your mind.
Report Abuse
Joan, my husband and I decided to go last May as we were also in search of the illusive iceberg. Here's a website that you may want to bookmark to aid you in that quest: http://ice-glaces.ec.gc.ca/App/WsvPageDsp.cfm?ID=1
As luck would have it, no growlers or bergy bits came close enough to shore during our time on the Rock (5/23 to 6/8) to entice the boat tour operators to venture that far out, although we heard reports of one off shore up by St. Anthony which was not on our itinerary in '06. By staying in St. Anthony, Twillingate, and Trinity, you should maximize your chance of catching a berg somewhere along Iceberg Alley. Although we didn't get many truly sunny days as one would experience in the Mid-West that time of year, the only time we really encountered fog for an extended period was on the south shore of the Avalon Peninsula by Cape St. Mary's.
I'm sure that you will see much more tourism than when you were last in Newfoundland thirty-five years ago as we noted changes from our only other visit in 2000. The people are still warm and genuine and you won't have any problem finding accommodations that time of year, although I'd still recommend making advanced reservations so that you'll assure yourself of having a bed each night as we were the first guests of the season at some of the lodgings we stayed at last year. My other word of caution is that you may not find a tourist attraction or two open even though you arrive after the posted start date. Last year we scheduled our flights so that we would arrive in Gros Mourne on May 24th in order to take a boat tour on Trout River Pond. When we arrived, a full week after the posted start date as listed in the Newfoundland Guide, we were told that the boat wasn't going out that day as they needed 8 passengers to make the trip cost effective. After my husband and I offered to pay the price of eight fares inorder to take the trip, we were finally told the truth..... the boat was still in dry dock, in the process of being repainted! LOL, Newfie's have their own timeline for everything, so be prepared for some flexibility in your schedule! -

In June 2006 we saw lots of icebergs on our way by boat to and from this Inn;
