Scientists in the Netherlands have developed meat in a laboratory after taking cells from a living cow: "Cultured Beef is created by painlessly harvesting muscle cells from a living cow. Scientists then feed and nurture the cells so they multiply to create muscle tissue, which is the main component of the meat we eat. It is biologically exactly the same as the meat tissue that comes from a cow." Is this meat halal or haram to eat? Thank you for your answers! |
Interesting question. Wonder what was the reason for this scientific experiment? Really, it does not so much matter as to why it was done as what good comes from it. If it was done out of necessity, for the survival of the human race due to food shortage, I would say, we need to eat it to survive. But the world news issued no reports of the human race running the risk of becoming extinct due to any global food shortage. So what does one do when one is not sure about something??? Don' do it. Stay away from it. Why? Because it is the more intelligent option. Whenever Mohammed SAW faced a choice between easy and difficult, he chose the easier option. Aishah (ra) said: "Whenever the Prophet (saw) had to choose between two options, he always opted for the easier choice." (Al Bukhari). This same principle answers the question: To eat or not to eat (fabricated meat). Why would you want to eat it if you can eat the wholesome, nature inspired stuff? There's no question of that not being hallal! Science....there' some good in it but there's more wasteage of time and money than one can comprehend. |

you don't see the applications of cloned beef? or the ability to grow beef in a lab?

I do see it. That's why there is no good in it. Sallam.

you don't think it would be good to have cows immuned to diesease? cows who can produce more beef with less water or feed needed? cows that don't need hormones or innoculations? the ability to eliminate mad cow diesease or e coli?

Do you really think that cloning will stop with the cloning of the cows only? Also, diseases are evolving continuously, so it's aconstant battle trying to stay abreast of them. You don't se that cloning will be applied to as many living things as scientists and other sources feel it's of benefit to them. What about human cloning, do you think that's moral and ethical? Getting back to the subject of cows, do you really think that if rearing of cows from birth to maturity it normally takes 15 months to 2 years, then just because the cloning may cut this time by a numbe of months, cattle growers will not use hormones to speed it all up just a little bit more? Where does it stop? You see humans often create more problems than they solve when they think that they have come up with a brilliant idea! The human mind cannot possibly take into consideration all the factors and how a new 'brilliant' idea will have an effect on other aspects of our lives.

i hope cloning won't stop with cows. why do you think i mentioned the headless frog. clone me without a head and i have unregectable organs. the point of growing a cow in a lab is more for space exploration then competing with natural born cows on earth. i'm not sure were it stops. so are you against cross pollinization? you do know many of the species of grains we eat didn't exist 100s of years ago. crop yields are greatly increased because of new species of rice. you say there isn't a global food shortage. much of that is do to scientific advancements of the last century.

Jana Kramer (Photo: Jon Kopaloff)Drama…passion…rage…violence…romance! Breakout country star Jana Kramer shows off her already well-established acting skills (she famously starred on popular TV series One Tree Hill prior to her music career) in her brand-new video for "Whiskey," the second single off her self-titled debut.
Not to worry, however. Although Kramer steams up the lens with the decidedly bad boy actor portrayed in the video, the singer—who was just nominated in the New Female Artist category at the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards—is by no means repeating this behavior in real life. As fans know, she's currently 100% happy with her boyfriend, fellow country up-and-comer and decidedly nice guy Brantley Gilbert.
Kramer has plenty of admirers besides her official beau. She was recently named one of 100 hottest women of 2013 by Men's Health. If you happen to be near Abilene, Texas this weekend, you can catch her in person when she plays the Abilene Civic Center on Saturday.

N.C. Voters to Have Final Say on State Marriage Amendment
North Carolina's legislature placed the fate of marriage in that state into the hands of the citizenry on September 13 when the state Senate voted 30-16 in favor of a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as only between a man and a woman. That vote came one day after the state House approved the amendment by a 75-42 margin, setting up next May's ballot referendum, which will require a simple majority approval by voters in order to inscribe the marriage protection measure into the state's constitution.
Parents Group Warns of Sleazy Network TV Cartoons
The Parents Television Council (PTC), a conservative watchdog group, has released a new study of network cartoons that are being viewed by kids, and, predictably, the findings are grim. In Cartoons Are No Laughing Matter, PTC used data from the Nielsen research group to identify the network cartoon shows most viewed by tweens and teens from ages 12 to 17. Based on those findings, "PTC examined 123 episodes of animated programming that aired on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel and Nick at Nite for the presence of sexual content, violence, drugs and explicit language between March 21, 2011 and April 14, 2011," the report stated. The findings were disturbing, to say the least, with nearly 1,500 documented incidents of explicit language, drug use, violence, and sexual content during the time period studied.
Court Rules in Favor of S.D. Pro-Life Law
An appeals court has ruled in favor of a South Dakota pro-life statute requiring abortionists to inform a woman 24 hours before an abortion that she has "an existing relationship" with her unborn baby, and that the procedure will "terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being."
Majority of Americans Say Abortion Is Wrong
A new national survey has found that a majority of Americans think that abortion is wrong. While 48 percent of 1,000 likely U.S. voters queried in the late August Rasmussen Reports phone survey said they considered themselves pro-choice, with 43 percent identifying themselves as pro-life, 55 percent said they think abortion is morally wrong most of the time. Another 30 percent said they think abortion is morally acceptable in the majority of cases, with 15 remaining undecided on the issue.
Judge: Illinois Can Cut Off Catholic Charities Over "Gay" Adoption
An Illinois judge has ruled that the state can end its relationship with Catholic adoption groups because of their refusal to place children with homosexual couples. Reuters News reported that charities connected with the Catholic dioceses of Springfield, Peoria (left), and Joliet had filed a lawsuit in June 2011 "to prevent Illinois from canceling their contracts to provide child services shortly after a state law took effect legalizing same-sex civil unions and after the Attorney General opened a probe into the groups' policies."
Vermont B&B Sued by ACLU Over Gay "Wedding" Event
The owners of a bed and breakfast in Vermont are being sued by a lesbian couple and the ACLU for refusing to host the couple's "wedding" reception at their facility. As reported by CNSNews.com, the lesbian couple, Kate Baker and Ming Linsley, plan to "marry" this autumn in Vermont, one of the handful of states that have legalized same-sex marriage. Nearly a year ago Ming's mother, Channie Peters, contacted the Wildflower Inn (picture at left) about scheduling the couple's reception there. But according to the ACLU, when she explained that the couple would consist of "two brides," she received a subsequent e-mail from a planner at the inn, explaining: "After our conversation, I checked in with my innkeepers and unfortunately due to their personal feelings, they do not host gay receptions at our facility."
Study: Fewer Doctors Willing to Do Abortions
Only about one in seven obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States is willing to perform abortions, a new survey has found, down from the numbers claimed by a similar 2008 poll. LifeNews.com reported that the latest research, published in the September issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology medical journal, "finds 97 percent of physicians surveyed say they have encountered patients wanting an abortion while only 14 percent of doctors are willing to do an abortion. That's lower than the 22 percent of doctors who said they would do an abortion in the last poll, from 2008."
Cohabitation Has Replaced Divorce as Biggest Threat to Children
A new report from a pair of organizations dedicated to strengthening the institution of marriage shows that an alarming number of U.S. couples are deciding to have children without being married — a decision that places those children at risk for physical, emotional, financial, and other social problems.
Gallup Poll Demonstrates Solid Pro-life Views Among Americans
A recent Gallup poll on abortion laws passed in state legislatures across the nation found that, for the most part, Americans favor measures that make various restrictions on the procedure. But the survey also found that a majority of Americans do not necessarily favor laws that allow healthcare providers to opt out of providing abortion medication or procedures or laws that bar government funding for abortion providers.
Defense of Marriage Act Repeal Discussed at Senate Hearing
The Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings July 20 on a possible repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the 15-year-old law that defines marriage in federal matters as between a man and a woman, and allows states the option of not recognizing the same-sex marriage laws of other states. The hearings highlighted the stark difference between the views of homosexual activists, who testified that the foundations of marriage are personal happiness and financial security, and those of pro-family advocates, who explained that traditional marriage is crucial to the stability and survival of society.

Eye melanoma
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/eye-melanoma/DS00707
Where eye melanoma occurs |
Melanoma is a type of cancer that develops in the cells that produce melanin — the pigment that gives your skin its color. Your eyes also have melanin-producing cells and can develop melanoma. Eye melanoma is also called ocular melanoma.
Most eye melanomas form in the part of the eye you can't see when looking in a mirror. This makes eye melanoma difficult to detect. In addition, eye melanoma typically doesn't cause early signs or symptoms.
Treatment is available for eye melanomas. Treatments for some small eye melanomas may not interfere with your vision. However, treatment for large eye melanomas typically causes some vision loss.
Where eye melanoma occurs |
Eye melanoma may not cause signs and symptoms. When they do occur, signs and symptoms of eye melanoma can include:
- A growing dark spot on the iris
- A sensation of flashing lights
- A change in the shape of the dark circle (pupil) at the center of your eye
- Poor or blurry vision in one eye
- Loss of peripheral vision
- Sensation of flashes and specs of dust in your vision (floaters)
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. Sudden changes in your vision signal an emergency, so seek immediate care in those situations.
It's not clear what causes eye melanoma, also called ocular melanoma. Doctors know that eye melanoma occurs when errors develop in the DNA of healthy eye cells. The DNA errors tell the cells to grow and multiply out of control, so the mutated cells go on living when they would normally die. The mutated cells accumulate in the eye and form an eye melanoma.
Where eye melanoma occurs
Eye melanoma most commonly develops in the cells of the uvea, the vascular layer of your eye sandwiched between the retina, the thin layer of tissue that lines the back inner wall of your eyeball, and the white of your eye (sclera). Eye melanoma can occur in the front part of the uvea (iris and ciliary body) or in the back part of the uvea (choroid layer).
Eye melanoma can also occur on the most outer layer on the front of the eye (conjunctiva), in the socket that surrounds the eyeball and on the eyelid, though these types of eye melanoma are very rare.
Risk factors
Risk factors for primary melanoma of the eye include:
- Light eye color. People with blue eyes or green eyes have a greater risk of melanoma of the eye.
- Being white. White people have a greater risk of eye melanoma than do people of other races.
- Increasing age. The risk of eye melanoma increases with age.
- Certain inherited skin disorders. A condition called dysplastic nevus syndrome, which causes abnormal moles, may increase your risk of developing melanoma on your skin and in your eye. In addition, people with abnormal skin pigmentation involving the eyelids and adjacent tissues and increased pigmentation on their uvea — known as ocular melanocytosis — also have an increased risk of developing eye melanoma.
- Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. There's some evidence that exposure to UV light, such as light from the sun or from tanning beds, may increase the risk of eye melanoma.
Complications of eye melanoma may include:
- Increasing pressure within the eye (glaucoma). A growing eye melanoma may cause glaucoma. Signs and symptoms of glaucoma may include eye pain and redness, as well as blurry vision.
- Vision loss. Large eye melanomas often cause vision loss in the affected eye and can cause complications, such as retinal detachment, that also cause vision loss. Small eye melanomas can cause some vision loss if they occur in critical parts of the eye. You may have difficulty seeing in the center of your vision or on the side. Very advanced eye melanomas can cause complete vision loss.
- Eye melanoma that spreads beyond the eye. Eye melanoma can spread outside of the eye and to distant areas of the body, including the liver, lungs and bones.
Preparing for your appointment
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you have an eye problem, you may be referred to an eye specialist (ophthalmologist).
If your doctor suspects you have an eye melanoma, you may be referred to an eye surgeon who specializes in treating eye melanoma. This specialist can explain your treatment options and may refer you to other specialists depending on the treatments you choose.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
- Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions. At the time you make the appointment, be sure to ask if there's anything you need to do in advance, such as restrict your diet.
- Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for which you scheduled the appointment.
- Write down key personal information, including any major stresses or recent life changes.
- Make a list of all medications, vitamins or supplements that you're taking.
- Consider taking a family member or friend along. Sometimes it can be difficult to remember all the information provided during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For eye melanoma, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- Do I have eye melanoma?
- Where is my eye melanoma located?
- What is the size of my eye melanoma?
- Has my eye melanoma spread beyond my eye?
- Will I need additional tests?
- What are my treatment options?
- Can any treatments cure my eye melanoma?
- What are the potential side effects of each treatment?
- Do I have to have treatment?
- How long can I take to decide on a treatment?
- Is there one treatment you feel is best for me?
- How will treatment affect my daily life? Can I continue working?
- How will treatment affect my vision?
- I have these other health conditions. How can I best manage them during treatment?
- Should I be referred to additional specialists? What will that cost, and will my insurance cover it?
- Are there brochures or other printed material that I can take with me? What websites do you recommend?
- What will determine whether I should plan for a follow-up visit?
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
- When did you first begin experiencing symptoms?
- Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?
Tests and diagnosis
To diagnose eye melanoma, your doctor may recommend:
- Eye exam. Your doctor will examine the outside of your eye, looking for enlarged blood vessels that can indicate a tumor inside your eye. Then, with the help of instruments, your doctor will look inside your eye. One method, called ophthalmoscopy, uses lenses and a bright light mounted on your doctor's forehead — a bit like a miner's lamp. Another method, called slit-lamp biomicroscopy, uses a microscope that produces an intense beam of light to illuminate the interior of your eye.
- Eye ultrasound. An eye ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves from a hand-held, wand-like apparatus called a transducer to produce images of your eye. The transducer is placed on your closed eyelid or on the front surface of your eye.
- Imaging of the blood vessels in and around the tumor (angiogram). During an angiogram of your eye, a colored dye is injected into a vein in your arm. The dye travels to the blood vessels in your eye. A camera with special filters to detect the dye takes flash pictures every few seconds for several minutes.
- Removing a sample of suspicious tissue for testing. In some cases, your doctor may recommend a procedure to remove a sample of tissue (biopsy) from your eye. To remove the sample, a thin needle is inserted into your eye and used to extract suspicious tissue. The tissue is tested in a laboratory to determine whether it contains eye melanoma cells. Eye biopsy isn't usually necessary to diagnose eye melanoma.
Determining whether cancer has spread
Your doctor may also recommend additional tests and procedures to determine whether the melanoma has spread (metastasized) to other parts of your body. Tests may include:
- Blood tests to measure liver function
- Chest X-ray
- Computerized tomography (CT) scan
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Abdominal ultrasound
Treatments and drugs
Your eye melanoma treatment options will depend on the location and size of the eye melanoma, as well as your overall health and your preferences.
Waiting to treat small eye melanomas
A small eye melanoma may not require immediate treatment. If the melanoma is small and isn't growing, you and your doctor may choose to wait and watch for signs of growth. If the melanoma grows or causes complications, you may choose to undergo treatment at that time.
Operations used to treat eye melanoma include procedures to remove part of the eye or a procedure to remove the entire eye. Options may include:
- Surgery to remove the melanoma and a small area of healthy tissue. Surgery to remove the melanoma and a band of healthy tissue that surrounds it may be an option for treating small melanomas. What procedure you'll undergo depends on the size and location of your eye melanoma. For instance, surgery to remove a small melanoma affecting the iris is called iridectomy. Surgery to remove a melanoma in the choroid is called choroidectomy.
- Surgery to remove the entire eye (enucleation). Enucleation is often used for large eye tumors. It may also be used if the tumor is causing eye pain. After the eye with melanoma is removed, an implant is inserted into the same position, and the muscles controlling movement of the eye are attached to the implant, which allows the implant to move. After you've had some time to heal, an artificial eye (prosthesis) is made. The front surface of your new eye will be custom painted to match your existing eye.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-powered energy beams, such as protons or gamma rays, to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy is typically used for small to medium-sized eye melanomas.
The radiation is usually delivered to the tumor by placing a radioactive plaque on your eye, directly over the tumor in a procedure called brachytherapy. The plaque is held in place with temporary stitches. The plaque looks similar to a bottle cap and contains several radioactive seeds. The plaque remains in place for four to five days before it's removed.
The radiation can also come from a machine that directs radiation, such as proton beams, to your eye (external beam radiation or teletherapy). This type of radiation therapy is often administered over several days.
Laser treatment
Treatment that uses a laser to kill the melanoma cells may be an option in certain situations. One type of laser treatment, called thermotherapy, uses an infrared laser and is sometimes used in combination with radiation therapy.
Cold treatments
Extreme cold (cryotherapy) may be used to destroy melanoma cells in some small eye melanomas, but this treatment isn't commonly used.
Coping and support
Coping with vision changes
If your cancer treatment causes total loss of vision in one eye, such as happens when an eye is removed, it's still possible to do most things you were able to do with two working eyes. But it may take a few months to adjust to your new vision.
Having only one eye affects your ability to judge distance. And it may be more difficult to be aware of things around you, especially things occurring on the side without vision.
Ask your doctor for a referral to a support group or an occupational therapist, who can help devise strategies for coping and adjusting to your altered vision.
There's no sure way to prevent eye melanoma. While there's little evidence to suggest that ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun may increase the risk of eye melanoma, wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV light can reduce your risk of other eye problems, such as cataracts.
When selecting sunglasses, look for ones that have:
- Protection against two types of UV light. Two types of UV light can damage your eyes — UVA and UVB. Look for sunglasses that block both types.
- Uniform tinting. Look for lenses that are uniformly dark. Avoid lenses that seem lighter in some spots and darker in others.
- Dark lenses. Try the sunglasses on and look into a mirror. If you can clearly see your eyes through the lenses, the sunglasses aren't dark enough.
- Frames that block light from the side. Some frames, called wraparound frames, are made to block light from the side.

Due to low visibility this afternoon flights to/from the airport are experiencing disruptions. Passengers are advised to call their airlines for more information. For airline contact details please click here. We apologise for the inconvenience.
London resident John Oates gives you an insider's tour around the city that never sleeps, sharing some secrets that only the locals know.
0700-0900. London takes breakfast seriously. Head for Soho and the impressive Dean Street Townhouse (69-71 Dean Street, 020 7434 1775), a smart boutique hotel which serves porridge followed by a full English (eggs, sausages, bacon, tomato, mushrooms and black pudding). The outdoor tables are great for people-watching. Alternatively, try the New Zealand-style café Kopapa (32-34 Monmouth Street, 020 7240 6076) in nearby Seven Dials. There's plenty of lighter fare such as granola on offer, as well as the popular 'Turkish eggs' (poached eggs with whipped yoghurt, hot chilli butter and flat bread).
0900-1100. Finance workers will have been at their desks for hours so it's a quiet time to explore the City and its warren of medieval streets. Start at Bunhill Fields, reputed to be the largest unconsecrated cemetery in Europe. It's the last resting place for John Bunyan, Daniel Defoe, William Blake and George Fox. Then take a walk from nearby Finsbury Circus to St Dunstan in the East, a medieval church whose interior was destroyed by the Blitz and is now a public garden. Other City highlights include the view of St Paul's Cathedral from the rooftop of the swanky One New Change shopping centre on Cheapside (it's free) and the Museum of London (150 London Wall, 020 7001 9844), an engaging place to get to grips with the city's history.
1100-1300. A stroll along the north bank of the Thames from The Monument – Sir Christopher Wren's 61-metre-tall memorial to the Great Fire of 1666 – to the gleaming towers of Canary Wharf is a cracking way to see the spectacular transformation of London's docklands. It should take about an hour and a half so you have time for coffee or a beer in one of the many pubs along the way, from The Hung, Drawn and Quartered (26-27 Great Tower Street, 020 7626 6123) at Tower Hill to Gordon Ramsay's The Narrow (44 Narrow Street, 020 7592 7950), originally a customs house, in Limehouse. On the way, pop into The Wapping Project (Wapping Wall, 020 7680 2080) – a former hydraulic power station, now a gallery and restaurant – to see what art is on display within its industrial space.
1300-1500. Canary Wharf's restaurants are buzzing Monday to Friday – although they are much, much quieter at weekends. Wahaca (The Park Pavilion, Canada Square, 020 7516 9145) serves great, albeit relatively pricey, Mexican street food. The fish tacos and pork pibil (marinated pork served in a parcel) are particularly good, washed down with hibiscus water or a mojito. Or there's Iberica (12 Cabot Square, 020 7636 8650), which brings a taste of Spain to E14 with gorgeous tapas and exquisite jamón ibérico. If a sandwich will do, head for Birley Salt Beef (1 Canada Square, 020 7719 0061) and then you'll certainly have time for a wander around the brilliant Museum of London Docklands (1 Warehouse, West India Quay, 020 7001 9844), whose galleries tell the story of how London grew up around the river.
1500-1700. From here, take the 10-minute journey on the Docklands Light Railway to Greenwich's Cutty Sark station. The Cutty Sark (King William Walk, 020 8312 6608), Britain's iconic tea clipper, reopened in spring 2012 with interactive displays plus a stunning space directly beneath the ship. The National Maritime Museum (Park Row, 020 8858 4422) has also been vastly improved, with the sleek Sammy Ofer wing and plenty of spiffy new installations. Zip up the hill to the Royal Observatory (Blackheath Avenue, 020 8858 4422) to stroke a 4-billion-year-old meteorite and take a snap of the Meridian line. Alternatively, wander through Greenwich market for arts, crafts, antiques and collectables (closed Monday). Then head back down to the waterfront to catch a City Cruises or Thames Clipper boat from Greenwich pier to Tower Bridge.
1700-1900. It's a 10-minute walk from Tower Bridge to the Whitechapel Art Gallery (77-82 Whitechapel High Street, 020 7522 7888), founded in 1901 and still pivotal to the continued growth of east London as one of the world's most vibrant contemporary art districts. It's also now home to the Dining Room, a smart restaurant with a menu devised by Gordon Ramsay protégée Angela Hartnett. You should have time for a whizz round the galleries (closed Monday) before heading to Shoreditch for a drink. This area remains fashionable and vibrant, with bars and restaurants opening all the time; one new arrival to check out is the capital's second BrewDog bar (51-55 Bethnal Green Road, 020 7729 8476), which serves a range of craft beers from around the world in addition to BrewDog's own acclaimed brews.
1900-2100. There are plenty of places to eat in Shoreditch, but for something really special, wander into Bethnal Green where Portuguese chef Nuno Mendes is at the helm of the Michelin-starred Viajante (Patriot Square, 020 7871 0461) in the grand Town Hall Hotel. Featuring installations from fashion and lighting designers as well as some of the East End's best young artists, it offers six-, nine- and 12-course tasting menus in the evening. Alternatively, head north to Dalston for cheap and cheerful Vietnamese on Kingsland Road – if you can't choose, try relative newcomer Anh Dao (106-108 Kingsland Road, 020 7739 3841).
After 2100. Dalston is also a great place to end your evening, assuming that you enjoy your entertainment a little offbeat. Friendly Cafe OTO (18-22 Ashwin Street) has one of London's most adventurous programmes of live music, and the consistently excellent Arcola Theatre (24 Ashwin Street, 020 7503 1646) is just next door. The same street also holds the Dalston Roof Park (18 Ashwin Street, 020 7275 0825), which is great for a summertime drink and also hosts events such as film screenings. Jazz fans should head over to The Vortex Jazz Club (11 Gillett Street, 020 7254 4097), a small venue which books top-rate acts. Confusingly enough, the nearby Dalston Jazz Bar (4 Bradbury Street, 020 7254 9728) rarely plays any jazz, but often gets packed to the rafters with good-humoured revellers until the wee small hours.

First a little explanation. I have a very big crazy project, where more than 124 hours of DVD material is editet into a few minutes of fast cuts. I am using the original VOB files and separate wav files to edit. Because of the growing size of the project and my disk slipping full with *.cfa files that are almost twice the size of the VOB files, I checked "Save media files next to originals when possible" and let Premiere re-conform everything. Although not advised, this saved me internal disk space (as the project files are on an external disk). I find it weird anyway that project related files are stored in some temp folder by default. Not very incterchange-friendly.
I did all this in CS5. Now I've opened it in CS6, and it's started to conform all the material again. So I guess I would need to delete all the *.cfa and *.pek files to ensure no redundant files are on the disk.
This made me think about using the conformed material as the actual file, so I wouldn't need the VOB files anymore, and premiere would never need to conform it again. This is what Premiere seems to do anyway. Is there any way to do this? Or would I need to batch process all the files in Predule and batch replace the clips in Premiere, if possible?
The CFA & PEK files are what PrPro actually uses to do the editing. They are created from the original Audio files, and are stored, where you direct PrPro to do so. If they are removed, then PrPro will regenerate them, when the Project is Opened. If you are moving them about, you are probably better off just changing the location in Edit>Preferences, and then Deleting them. Clean the Media Cache. When you Open the Project, sit back, have a cup of coffee, and just let PrPro regenerate them, where you have relocated them.
This ARTICLE will give you more info on the CFA & PEK files.
Also, it might be helpful to know the full specs. of your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, free-space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
Good luck,
I though the CFA was video info. But it's audio, and all the VOB files have 5.1 audio so that explains the size.
I would have preferred that premiere asked me to convert all the files rather than just 'secretly' creating new files.
I am actually not moving them about, I'm just opening the project in CS6 and it starts to confrom everything again. I could choose a local folder for all those files, but I find it really weird that this folder is not project related. It just dumps everything in there and leaves them forever. I don't want that. At a certain point you'd need a separate drive just for temporary CFA and PEK files.
This project totals almost 1TB including all the CFA and PEK files. This is not part of my paid work so I just want to leave all related files on the external (2TB) usb 3.0 disk except for the actual "*.prproj" files for backupping. (I have all the wav and VOB files also backupped on an older external disk.)
Anyways thanks for the help
I'll delete all the PEK and CFA files and let the PC work in the night if it's the only way.
edit: Is there a way to NOT import audio from VOB files?
Is there a way to NOT import audio from VOB files?
Yes, you can rip the discrete Audio and Video Streams from the MPEG-2 contained in the VOB. There are many ripping software options, though I do not know which ones might offer the option of separate, demuxed Streams. There is a list of some ripping software in this Encore FAQ Entry. I am sure that there are many, many more, and also demuxing utilities.
Also, PrPro is not very "secretive" about the Conforming and Indexing process - there is a progress bar that displays in the GUI, informing that the operation is in progress, and giving a graphical progress representation.
Good luck,

Use of critical chain projectmanagement in an AMIS project.
4 years ago
At AMIS we have a group of Project Managers who exchange experiences and knowledge with each other. This group read the book of Lawrence P. Leach about Critical Chain Project Management and the group agreed that we would try out the ideas described in this book in our projects. The book takes the ideas from Goldratt (The goal) and transfers them from a Production environment to a Project environment. The results described in the book (projects delivered for far less (up to 40%) than the original time and budget) made us very enthusiastic.
The key issue described in the book is to find the 'bottleneck resources' in a project, and make sure that these ones are always at work at full capacity. In case of a System Development Process it usually is a top developer or a functional designer. To make sure they can go on with their work, one has to arrange that there is a buffer of work in the chain before them, so they cannot run out of work. One must also make sure that these scarce resources are working on the things that only they can do, for making the team realize their goal (Project delivered in time and on or below budget), and nothing else.

Growing concerns about the skyrocketing.
National debt -- -- that number to the right of me just taken away over the last several years.
Right now every household in America.
-- a 140000.
Dollars if you break it down that way of our sixteen trillion dollar national that.
And with trillion dollar budget deficits.
-- gonna -- up right back with Callaway has five.
And with a look at this frightening situation paid out.
Hey Martha you know -- we blew right on past that sixteen trillion dollar debt number that we focus so much attention on earlier this year we are well on our way out to seventeen trillion dollars in debt.
Here's a live look at the -- clock again which now stands -- -- 161000000000289.
Billion plus.
It means that every US household holds a owes a 140000.
Dollars of data -- so huge.
It dwarfs anything in history even though Americans of earlier generations were alarmed at their government's reckless spending.
In 1835 under president Andrew Jackson the -- was a mere 34000.
Under Abraham Lincoln and 1865 and risen to three billion dollars in 1929 at the time of the stock market crash it had risen to seventeen billion.
And then towards the end of World War II was 259.
But all those numbers pale in comparison to today's debt under President Obama more than all the previous presidents.
-- -- -- That it's a pretty picture.
Not that I -- thank you very much -- -- -- Callaway in Washington you know at some of these warnings have been national debt is nearing dangerous levels here to explain what that means Stephen Moore senior writer cannot senior economic writer.
For the Wall Street Journal what does that mean -- the warnings -- Steve.
I've felt like you know the the amazing thing about this doubt -- I was thinking when I first came to Washington.
Which was in the early 1980s that gut level was about 2.5 trillion dollars.
-- sixteen point two -- up and by the way every president going back to it at Dwight Eisenhower has promised that they were going to be out of the budget and we and the debt keeps getting bigger and bigger -- -- the real tragedy is that over the last five years.
The debt has increased by almost six trillion dollars that's more money then went borrowed from 1776.
Through the year nineteenth answers they so if they had ever traveling -- What's the danger in this economically speaking for us.
I think the dangerous to Paul -- one is that if you look at the budget right now.
If we continue on this pace of borrowing which were expected to do trillion dollar deficits for as as far as the eye can see.
We're looking at somewhere in the neighborhood.
Of a trillion dollars cost each year bell.
-- only servicing deduct the interest payments on the -- which means.
That that that current that taxpayers won't get anything in return any government services they'll be paying taxes just a paper -- past fiscal sense.
I think that's the big problem the other related problem -- Is think about what happens to be interest rates start to rise as you know interest rates are as low as they've been since the Great Depression now no economist -- -- Thinks that rates are gonna stayed -- while.
As interest rates start to rise over the next 235 years guess who's gonna pay the highest -- for that.
The biggest -- in the world the US government so I think those of the danger.
Every house on the US it was a 140000 dollars of this every council.
The country borrow six billion every day -- by the time is our hands full borrow 239.
Million dollars.
And the crime here is that for every dollar -- revenue the government brings in it spends two dollars.
And six cents.
And now -- -- have you heard any serious discussion.
About reversing this trend because that's what you're talking about a little while waiting.
That's what we've been -- about the last month but I often is these fiscal -- negotiations.
But here's the kind of frightening thing about that spell it let's say the President Obama and John Boehner and the Republicans reach a deal and they're able to cut.
You know one or two trillion dollars from the data over the next ten years which is kind of the upper limit of what electing you -- but I -- you don't just think about we just said.
-- two trillion over ten years -- which is nothing what does it probably.
Yeah that does nothing and we were supposed to borrow another eight trillion dollars and ten years will dog got nothing to reduce our national debt.
And so you know we're not we're not even treading water -- here -- we're losing ground year after year it's gonna require from some.
Fairly steep reductions in spending and the other thing we have to do is accelerate economic growth in this country you know -- -- last week.
Let me just make one other point -- we saw last week that the that the Federal Reserve is pumping.
You know record amounts of money into the economy one of the things that we're doing now for the first time in our nation's history.
Is that that that treasury is borrowing all this money and bill guess who's buying all the -- it's actually the bad reserve bank and wherever they get.

Click Here to view large photo
After recent exhaustive testing against a class field of quality opposition, the Chaparral 216SSi Bowrider has been awarded the title of Australia's Greatest Bowrider.
As part of Trailer Boat magazine's annual 'Australia's Greatest Boats' series for 2011; judges tested a number of boats and awarded points for ten different criteria including innovation, quality of finish, handling and ride, ergonomics and value for money.
The Chaparral 216SSi scooped the pool, scoring solid nines out of ten across the board including one perfect ten for design layout and appearance.
'One judge was nearly forced into buying a 216 by his family, they were so impressed,' Says Scott O'Hare from Chaparral Australia.
'We love the whole bowrider range, but now the 216SSi will always be a favourite as our first local award winner.'
Chaparral have a rich history of winning awards around the world, with 14 boats of the year in the coveted US Powerboat and NMMA awards system, as well as 29 awards for product excellence. They have the highest possible customer satisfaction rating in the US CSI program with accolades across their entire model range.
'Chaparral are consistent in their approach to innovation, performance and quality. Their R&D program is at its highest level in the company's 46 year history and we are proud to represent such a great product in Australia and New Zealand,' adds O'Hare.

Lindsay Lohan's sit-down with Oprah Winfrey is among these memorable interviews in recent history.
Monica Lewinsky interviewed by Barbara Walters
On March 3, 1999, Walters interviewed Monica Lewinsky a short time after the news broke of an affair between Lewinsky, a White House intern, and then-President Bill Clinton. Walters asked Lewinsky, "What will you tell your children about this matter?" and Lewinsky replied, "I guess Mommy made a big mistake." The interview was seen by a record 74 million viewers, the highest rating ever for a journalist's interview at the time.

Sean Connaughty 2012 part of Untitled 9 exhibit juror Chris Larson
SooVAC's latest show features art in crawl spaces, closets, and on walls
By Sheila Regan Fri., Nov. 9 2012 at 10:24 AM
Work by Sean Connaughty
This Saturday, the Soo Visual Arts Center opens its "9th Annual Juried Exhibition." The show features an eclectic mix of photography, collage, video, drawings, and installation curated by University of Minnesota assistant professor Chris Larson. The work in "Untitled 9" can be seen in some curious spaces -- a broom closet, the crawl space behind walls, in the office -- and all of the pieces have a sense of camouflage and transformation.
Work by Rachel Breen
"Through a quiet sense of natural wonder," writes Larson on SooVAC's website, "13 artists noiselessly manipulate, cut, dissect, blur, and disintegrate architecture, bodies, and the landscape. Murmuring." Indeed, while the art varies in genre and style, Larson has put together a collection of work that is shifting and hidden.
The most notable example is an installation by Leslie Kelman, on display in the crawl space between two walls. You can only see it if you peek your head in through the broom closet, or look in through a window on the side of the building. It's meant to be uncomfortable, says SooVAC executive director Carolyn Payne, and explores both an unusable domestic space and an unusable industrial space.
Work by Matthew Yaeger
There's also an installation by Sean Connaughty, built in a space that used to be a closet. A wall has been built over it, with a window that allows you to look into an aquarium. Inside the aquarium are concrete floats with plants inside of them. It's rather space agey, and like much of Connaughty's work, uses natural and living materials to create a world that is both alive and strange.
Then there's Rachel Breen's interesting piece of copper. It's covered up with black paper which has been torn and has holes poked all over it, creating a pattern. The copper shimmers through, glowing, a hidden source of light.
There are a couple of video pieces in the show, including a work by Timothy Barnes that includes footage of a window drape set to Kenny G music, and Sara Wichterman's video about humans and fire.
A number of pieces in the show deal with architectural forms. Matthew Yaeger's wall construction looks like a fort made of wood, paper, plastic, and other miscellaneous items. It's a kind of skyscraper made of random materials that look as if they could have been accidentally assembled that way. Matthew Winkler also has an architectural type of piece made of paper folded and cut in an intricate pattern that creates wonderful shadows on the wall. Noel Worden's photograph, and Jesse Drexler's M.C. Escher-like collage also deal with architecture and the idea of a thing not being exactly what it seems.
Other artists featured in the exhibit include mixed-media work by Mary Bergs, photography by Monica Howell and Joseph Kaercher, and Haley Prochnow's very interesting collage work.

Chris Larson Holds Our Hand, Tells Us We'll Make it Through Another Winter
By Gregory J. Scott
Is it just us, or is the local art scene wrapping up the 2012 season with unusual bombast? In just the last week alone, we've seen David Byrne, of Talking Heads fame, swoop into Minneapolis with an epic John Cage impression, converting a warehouse into a wheezing, plinking, post-music fantasia. We've seen Madonna splatter a dude's brains with a gunshot blast on the stage of the Xcel. And the Walker just welcomed MOMA's Cindy Sherman retrospective with a blockbuster, come-as-you-aren't party, replete with make-up artists and costume stylists.
By Haley Prochnow, courtesy SooVAC
Fun stuff, for sure. But as we stare down another winter, we've got a hankering for something quieter, more meditational, maybe even melancholic—a little pathos for the ruminative slide into the darker months. Where can we get that?
Well, if you're around this weekend, you can get it at Soo Visual Arts Center. The Uptown art space opens its ninth-annual juried show, and this year's competition was judged by a big-name doozy of a local artist: the adored prairie-land poet Chris Larson.
We have loved pretty much everything this guy has ever done. Remember when he drenched a quaint rural cottage in thick sheets of ice? Or when he installed that strange tree house in the Walker Art Center, breaking hearts with sense memories tied to the scent of wood? Or how about when he arranged shotgun-blasted wood sculpture in the hoity-toity Chambers hotel? Larson is often referred to as our most quintessentially "Minnesotan" artist—which is maybe unfair and too limiting. But his work evokes a very place-specific introspection; his aesthetic is that of snow-muffled farmland sounds. And with the SooVAC show, we get to peek into his artist's mind.
By Jesse Draxler, courtesy SooVAC
So what did he pick? In his words, "murmuring" works from local artists that "noiselessly manipulate, cut, dissect, blur, and disintegrate architecture, bodies, and the landscape." Sounds about right.
Stand-out names include collage man Jesse Draxler, whose architectural deconstructions seem to merge M C Esher with the opening sequence from The Twilight Zone, and Sean Connaughty, who's known for his slightly alien "pods" made from earth materials. But on preview, we're most impressed with delicate collages from Haley Prochnow. We're most intrigued by the promise of hidden crawlspaces behind the gallery walls, installed by Leslie Kelman.
Check SooVAC's website for a full listing of the artists. Or, better yet, swing in Saturday, November 10, for the opening. See you there.

Athletes wait their whole careers to accomplish a special feat, one that they will remember for years to come.
For pitchers, that one special moment could be throwing a no-hitter. That is the No. 10 moment on the Towson Top Ten for 2011-12.
Junior pitcher
Katie Lingmai and the Tigers took the field against Drexel on Saturday, Apr. 7 looking for a much needed Colonial Athletic Association victory.
Lingmai proved to be in control early and untouchable for most of the game.
In the bottom of the first, Drexel had its lead off batter reach via a three-base error. However, Lingmai responded by getting a strikeout, a ground out and a pop up to strand the runner. That was the only runner to reach third base against Lingmai all day.
The Dragons threatened again in the second as the leadoff batter reach via a walk but Lingmai stranded the runner at second base. She retired the Dragons in order in the third.
In the fourth, Lingmai got all the offense she would need as senior
Courtney Wittner had an RBI single and junior Kelli Lyons provided an RBI ground out.
Lingmai would allow just one more base runner the rest of the way en route to the 2-0 victory for the Tigers. Lingmai finished with four strikeouts in the game and earned her 10th victory of the season.
For Lingmai, it was the second no-hitter of her career and ninth in program history for the Tigers.
Check back on June 14th for the No. 9 moment in the countdown.
