THERE is just one week to go until Worcestershire gets ready to 'Push the Boat out' as part of a national festival of sailing and windsurfing.
Five sailing clubs and centres in the county will be giving the chance to everyone - regardless of age, experience or ability - to get out on the water to sample sailing and windsurfing at no or low cost.
The 'have a go' sessions are part of the national RYA Push the Boat Out weekend, which takes places on Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18.
Venues in the county include Top Barn Activity Centre, just outside Worcester, Aztec Adventure in Upton Warren, Arden Sailing Club, Defford near Pershore, Trimpley Sailing Club, in Bewdley, and Upton Warren Sailing Club.
Croft Farm Sail and Paddle at Croft Farm Water Park just over the county border in Tewkesbury is also taking part.
There are 250 clubs, centres and organisations nationwide - and 40 in the Midlands - opening their doors to the public as part of the weekend.
Booking is essential for some of the activities and refreshments will be available.
People taking part in the 'have a go' sessions will need a change of clothes, soft soled shoes and a towel and the clubs and centres will provide everything else.
RYA Push the Boat Out is part of National Watersports Month this month. For details and to find your nearest event, visit rya.org.uk/go/ptbo.

Wartburg outlasts Central baseball team in doubleheader
WAVERLY— Wartburg College subdued the Dutch offense for a second time in a weekend series, limiting the Central College baseball team to just nine hits as the team endured a 13-0 loss before suffering a 5-1 setback in the Iowa Conference doubleheader Sunday.
The Knights (25-5 overall, 14-2 conference) tallied runs early, scoring four runs in the second and four more in the third inning. Wartburg posted a two-run fifth inning and added three more in the sixh. The Dutch (15-12 overall, 7-9 conference) were unable to score a run with only three hits in the opening game. Dirk Lindaman (senior, Ankeny) took the loss on the mound, pitching four innings.
In the final game, Wartburg took another early lead, scoring one in the first and one run in the second. Wartburg batted off a home run in the fifth before driving in two more runs in the seventh and eighth innings. Central attempted a comeback in the top of the ninth with Adam Ariola (second base, junior, Bloomington, Ill., Normal HS) slugging a home run. The Dutch had three left on base after the third out. Ariola had three hits on the day and one RBI.
Judson McKown (junior, Maple Plain, Minn., Orono HS) pitched all eight innings for Central and was charged the loss.
The Dutch have the week to prepare for another Iowa Conference series against Buena Vista University (14-12 overall, 6-10 conference) at the A.N. Kuyper Athletics Complex field in Pella. The four-game series begins at 1 p.m. on Friday. Video webcast and live stats of the games will be available through the Central athletics website at www.central.edu/athletics.

NVIDIA's Spring GeForce Game Bundle Announced - Metro: Last Lightby Ryan Smith on 4/16/2013 8:00 PM EST

Back to Article
HisDivineOrder - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkSo... Metro Last Light or Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider / Crysis 3, and Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon.
Wow. That's such a tough choice. nVidia, you gots to do better. Stop nappin' and just swimming in all the Titan moneys you're making and get on the ball. Or don't and watch the enthusiast market give up on you once AMD stops fooling around and gets those frame latency drivers and Crossfire drivers all sorted out. Reply
DigitalFreak - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - link"once AMD stops fooling around and gets those frame latency drivers and Crossfire drivers all sorted out."
So, Nvidia has a few more years before they have to worry? Reply
D3m - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkDon't worry about frame latency they'll fix it. It's the never settle reloaded that Nvidia should be worried about. Reply
chizow - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkI can buy the Never Settle Reloaded bundle on Ebay for $60, how much will it cost to get AMD to fix it's CF runtframe and frame latency problems? Reply
B3an - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkFrame latency and the micro stutter issues on Crossfire (which i can sometimes see with my eyes so don't need tests to show me) are FAR more important than a game bundle. And this is AMD, so who knows how long until they actually get this stuff PROPERLY fixed.
I'm a Crossfire owner BTW. Reply
chizow - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkAgree, Metro: LL is a big step up from the F2P crap, but it's still not as good as the previous holiday bundle (Borderlands 2 and Assassin's Creed 3). It's also far short of AMD's last few Never Settle bundles with the titles you've mentioned above.
I would never base GPU purchasing decisions solely on bundled games, but the fact of the matter is these games are valid currency whether they save you money on a game you were already planning to buy, or allow you to sell the code thereby subsidizing the cost of the card (or additional cards you buy for multi-GPU). Reply
Forrest29 - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkDo I get the game if I already own the card? Reply
ShieTar - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkMeh, its just Shooters either way. As a RPG player I've been throwing away bundled games for years now. And I don't really see any of the above cards, with the possible acception of the 660, being bought by somebody who thinks "I'll gladly ignore the AMD option, because I want a free copy of this game".
Seriously, I rather hate the whole business model. It's not like 4A are giving these games away for free, and its not like nVidia isn't adding the cost of the game to the price of the hardware. So basically they nVidia decides that everybody has to pay 5$ for a game license, so that the people that actually want it can save 45$ against buying the full-price version. And I bet 4A will use the number of licenses sold to nVidia to brag about how many "copies" of their game they sold.
I'd much rather decide for myself what I want to buy, and what I think it is worth, instead of constantly having companies bundle their offers, or worse yet increase their prices just so they can reduce it back to normal after I agree to join some data-gathering bonus program.
But maybe I'm just suffering from Grumpy-Old-Guy Syndrome. Reply
euroboardgames - Thursday, August 01, 2013 - linkHomer: I don't think you realize what you're saying...
Lisa: BABOON!
Bart: I knew someone was gonna say it, but I can't believe it was her.
Well said, Shietar. Reply
Hrel - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkI would love to see you guys dive into how big of a problem the 192bit memory interface is on the GTX660. The HD7850 has 1GB of RAM but a 256bit memory interface. Which is why I find it confusing that Nvidia has 2GB of RAM on the GTX660 but only a 192bit memory interface. Is AMD just going WAY overboard or is Nvidia short changing us? All the people I advise on parts care much more about longevity than pure performance or even cost. I worry that the 192bit memory interface will become a problem in 2-4 years when gaming at 1080p. At that resolution I don't expect any issues with the amount of RAM, 2GB, but the ability of the card to address it all. Reply
ShieTar - Friday, April 19, 2013 - linkThe 660 is running at about 25% higher memory speeds, and thus the 25% smaller interface is almost completely compensated. The resulting bandwidth is also basically the same as it was for the 5850 and the 470. This is not an aspect of videocards that is rapidly changing right now, and I don't see why that should change in the next 2-4 years. Reply
geniusloci - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkAMD has better cards AND better bundles. Reply
chizow - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkBundles, yes
Cards, no
Drivers, HELL NO LOL. Reply
Senti - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkDrivers: they are both awful. Yesterday great nVidia drivers two times bluescreened me in one morning out of absolutely nowhere. Reply
BishopLord - Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - linkDidn't bluescreen me. I could say the same about AMD Drivers (when I used the AMD card, 4850 and 5850) every single day I'm on the computer I would get "video driver crashed". WTF? It wasn't like it was just one PC, it happened on two separate PC's. Could have been the damn card, but oh well, right?
Besides, I invested a lot of money in Nvidia 3D Vision. AMD cards won't work with this. I'm very happy with the Nvidia cards I have and will never go back to AMD (with the exception of my netbook because it has a built in AMD GPU). Reply
wavetrex - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkI agree, AMD's 7000 generation is (slightly) better in (almost) every possible way
The only thing they have trouble is Crossfire ... but seriously, that's a very-very small part of the market (people with multiple videocards).
1. AMD's cards are a bit cheaper at the same performance, or a bit faster at the same price (Also have bigger, faster memory buffers, which will be essential for new games with more textures)
2. AMD's game bundle is much more delicious
3. AMD has MUCH better compute power right now (which gets used more and more... OpenCL on Kepler is a joke...)
4. AMD already has the next generation architecture ready (8000 series, which will most likely come before the end of the year)... nVidia is still waiting for new process node, that will take a while.
I am not a fanboy, just stating the facts... NV needs to get their heads out of the sand (read: Mobile space) and continue competing properly in desktop/mobile high-performance space, or they will keep losing market-share rapidly ) Reply
Hrel - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkAgreed, I can't make a single Nvidia recommendation right now on Desktop. Laptop sure, AMD still has switching issues. Where Optimus works great. But that's not really such a big deal. Kinda happy to see it though, cause Intel if just WALLOPING AMD on CPU's. Reply
chizow - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - link1. Titan > All
2. True.
3. Titan > All. Not sure about the state of OpenCL on Titan, but serious compute users are using CUDA anyways.
4. 8000 series is a rebrand for AMD (fact) while there are rumors Nvidia is ramping up a Kepler refresh 700 series line-up in time for Computex in early June. Reply
D3m - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkAre you sure HD 8000 is a rebrand? And what compute users are using CUDA? Reply
wavetrex - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkTitan is an ultra overpriced card. At 650$ it would be great, awesome, the best card ever. At 1000$ is just an apple-type ripoff.
nNidia itself is switching to OpenCL :) CUDA was nice, but it's slowly and surely becoming outdated (just like it happens with every other proprietary technology in the history of computing)
Heck, there are even here a lot of articles in which various AAA software (like Adobe Photoshop or Aftereffects are switching/using OpenCL in their latest versions to accelerate processing). And more and more software pop-up and take advantage of this extra computing horespower.
Sure, Titan is more powerful... but again, 1000$ ... HELL NO.
8000 Is not rebrand, it's GCN 2.0 (tuned/optimized), start googling for that info. There's already a card out which is using GCN 2.0 ... Radeon 7790, which is NOT a rebrand and NOT a higher clocked 7770.
Please research your facts next time, ktnxbye. Reply
D3m - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkMore like GCN 1.1 for HD 7790. Reply

Liberty Sustains 16-5 Setback at Radford
The Radford Highlanders posted a 16-5, five-inning victory over the visiting Liberty Lady Flames, sweeping a doubleheader on Tuesday at RU Softball Field.
With the win, its fifth in a row, Radford improves to 14-19 on the season, including 8-3 in Big South games. Liberty falls to 6-33, with a 1-13 record against conference opponents. Liberty committed four errors, while Radford totaled three miscues.
Abby Morrow (6-4) earned the win for Radford, allowing two unearned runs on one hit while striking out one in four innings pitched. Kelsey Weddle pitched the final inning, giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits.
Grace Nordan (1-3) drew the loss, yielding 16 runs (seven earned) on 11 hits, while walking five and fanning one.
Jessie Hutchens went 2-for-3 with a home run and six RBIs, while Becky Mantel scored four runs for Radford. Whitney Davis and Summer Robinson both had two hits, while Mackenzie Blackwell hit a home run.
Katie Zavodny batted 1-for-2 with two runs scored and a stolen base, the 98th steal of her career. Zavodny is now tied for second in Big South history for career stolen bases. Megan Robinson, Holly Seiz and Marybeth Sciolino had one hit apiece for the Lady Flames.
Liberty pushed across two runs in the top of the first, as Zavodny drew a walk and stole second. Allen reached on an error after one out, and swiped second base. Zavodny scored by way of a wild pitch, and Allen crossed the plate when Nia Chiles committed an error with two outs.
Radford responded with four tallies during its first time at bat. Mantel and Chiles both reached to start the inning, and Davis, Casey Burns and Kayla Bishton came through with consecutive one-out RBI singles, making it 3-2, Highlanders. Blackwell drove a liner that was dropped in deep center field, scoring Bishton for a 4-2 lead. Nordan fanned Hayley Tabora for the third out.
The Highlanders added two to their lead, scoring twice with two outs in the second inning. With two outs and the bases loaded, a Liberty error on a Burns grounder allowed Mantel and Chiles to cross the plate. Nordan got Bishton to ground out, ending the inning.
Blackwell led off the bottom of the third with a solo shot to left. Robinson singled, and Mantel was hit by a pitch. Hutchens boosted Radford's lead to 9-2 with a two-out, two-run single, before being thrown out at second.
Morrow set the Lady Flames down in order during the second and third frames, retiring eight straight batters. Seiz singled to left with one out in the fourth, good for Liberty's first hit of the game. The sophomore then stole second, but was left there when Kassidy McCoy hit a groundout.
Radford posted a seven-run fourth inning, with just two earned runs due to a Lady Flames error extending the inning. Hutchens made it 16-2 with a grand slam, capping the scoring in the fourth.
Weddle came on in relief of Morrow to start the fifth inning. Sciolino, Zavodny and Robinson all singled in a row, with Robinson sending Sciolino home with her base hit. Allen hit a sacrifice fly, plating Zavodny, and Robinson scored on an error on the play, bringing Liberty to within 16-5. Sammi Shivock then grounded out to the pitcher, ending the game via run rule.
The Lady Flames and Highlanders conclude this week's series with a 2 p.m. game, tomorrow at RU Softball Field.

SMWC Professor Reinvents an Indiana Classic
February 4th, 2013 | SMWC
By Lisa Luper, communications intern
How long does it take to compose a song? For John McIntyre, D.M.A., associate professor of music at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, two weeks is plenty of time. McIntyre was asked by James Chesterson, president of the Terre Haute Community Band (THCB) last spring to compose a new arrangement of "Back Home Again in Indiana" for a special "Year of the River" performance, which took place January 27, 2013, at Indiana State University.
McIntyre started working on the song right after Christmas on the flight to and from his hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska, for the holidays. It was finished in time for the THCB's first band practice on January 9, 2013.
When asked how he wrote such a complicated piece so quickly, McIntyre smiled. "I don't usually get writer's block," he said.
McIntyre began by listening to different arrangements of the song, which was published by Ballard MacDonald and James F. Hanley in 1917 and has been an Indiana favorite since. He decided how he wanted his version to sound and put it together with parts for brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The arrangement begins with the verse, which is often omitted.. Beginning with a straightforward, patriotic feel, it transitions to a lighter, swing style, then shifts again to a big band style.
Since the song is in the public domain, McIntyre is legally able to publish it. He would like to begin by publishing the score, but hopes to eventually record it with a band.

Optimizing Performance for the Adobe Flash Platform contains a treasure trove of tips on less obvious performance enhancements. For example, chapter 3, "Minimizing CPU usage", highlights the following CPU management features:
- Pause and resume SWF files based on screen exposure: This is an automatic feature in Flash Player since version 10.1. Flash Player minimizes processing when SWF content goes off-screen.
- Instance management: This feature introduced the
hasPriorityHTML parameter. By default, Flash Player doesn't start SWF content that is not visible. You can override this behavior in most cases by using the
- Sleep mode: On mobile devices, Flash Player and AIR detect when the device backlight goes into sleep mode. When this event occurs, rendering of SWF content stops, and frame rates drop to 4fps. Because the frame rate stays above zero, all open data connections can remain open.
- Freezing and unfreezing objects: You can use
ADDED_TO_STAGEevents to keep objects that are no longer in the display list from consuming unnecessary CPU cycles.
- Activate and deactivate events: By using events to detect when your application is activated or deactivated, you can reset the frame rate, freeze or unfreeze objects, or perform other CPU optimizations.
- Mouse interactions: Detecting mouse interaction on many objects simultaneously can be CPU-intensive. You can reduce that overhead by disabling mouse interactions on objects that do not respond to mouse events.
- Timers versus
ENTER_FRAMEevents: To execute code at specific intervals you can choose between a timer or
ENTER_FRAMEevents. The optimal choice for your situation depends on a number of factors, such as whether your application uses animation.
- Tweening syndrome: Minimize the use of tweens, especially for content intended for low-performance mobile devices.
Visit the Optimization Guide to find out more about these topics and many others, including memory management, efficient use of the ActionScript language, rendering, networking, and database access.

Last game for a week, so enjoy it. We'll have to fill the six off days with some jibberish and stuff here.
Same lineup, with Lundqvist in goal.
And yours truly (which means me) will be on the radio (1050-AM and newyorkrangers.com) with Kenny Albert during the first intermission. Could be a Boneheads shout-out.

A9 TV; 24 October 2011
"Alif Lam Ra. Those are the Signs of the Clear Book.
We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an so that hopefully you will use your intellect." In order to think. That is what Allah wants. For people to think deeply.
"We tell you the best of stories in revealing this Qur'an to you, even though you were unaware of it before it came."
What are the stories regarding the Prophet Joseph (pbuh)? The truth. We see they have been changed in some other places. But what does Allah say here? "The best of stories." The full truth. "…even though you were unaware of it before it came." Secret knowledge. Allah gives him [our Prophet (pbuh)] secret knowledge. Our Prophet (pbuh) does not know. But Allah tells him the exact truth of the life of the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). "When Joseph told his father, 'Father'!"Look, he calls him Father. "I saw 11 bright stars," that means there is something about the number 11. "…and the sun and moon as well. I saw them all prostrate in front of me'."Another form of revelation. Allah reveals future events to him, but Almighty Allah describes it in circuitous language. His father said, "My son, don't tell your brothers your dream."What does Bediuzzaman say? "May everything you say be true, but do not tell the truth to everyone everywhere." It may be true, but there is no reason you have to tell people. "…lest they devise some scheme to injure you." Meaning he has to behave with hidden knowledge. That means he has to behave cleverly. One should not loudly proclaim everything that is true. Only at the right time and place. One can tell the truth when the requisite maturity has appeared. "Satan is a clear-cut enemy to man." Allah is saying that he is an enemy to Muslims. "Accordingly your Lord will pick you out." Look, "Accordingly your Lord will pick you out." He will elevate you. "…and teach you the true meaning of events,"look, there is revelation here, too. Things that will definitely happen. "…and perfectly fulfil His blessing on you as well as on the family of Jacob as He fulfilled it perfectly before upon your forebears, Abraham and Isaac."In other words, the people of Israel and the children of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh). "Most certainly your Lord is Knowing, Wise."What is the indication here? The people of Israel will live according to a deep faith. They will fully adopt the spirit of Islam and the Qur'an, and Islam will rule the world. "In Joseph and his brothers there are Signs for every one of those who wants to ask."
For those who ask, but not for those who are not interested. For those who are interested. For those who think deeply, insha'Allah. "When they declared, 'Why! Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than we are..."They are jealous of that love. You can see that some people are jealous of the love shown to me in this century, can't you? "…although we constitute a powerful group." We are a stronger community. "Our father is clearly making a mistake." Look, they can even become so desperate as to accuse a prophet. The diseased, false spirit can do that. Look. "Our father is clearly making a mistake." The hypocrites behaved in the same way toward our Prophet (pbuh). It makes no difference to them. Look at the excesses of the hypocrite; "Kill Joseph," he says. Look at the solution these people come up with! That savage, ruthless, fascist mindset, that cruelty that stems from a failure to live by the religion. That sadistic mindset. We can currently see that sadism and ruthlessness in many places in the Islamic world. "…or expel him to some land so that your father will look to you alone." Either kill or imprison him. Why? People are crazed with jealousy. What outcome does that jealousy want? It wants him to be imprisoned or killed. One or the other. They want to martyr him. "…and then you can be people who do right" it says. If you neutralize him, you can replace him. Now why does the extremist mindset that attacks Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in the End Times want this? So that they can come to the fore instead. They want to push themselves forward. They want to elevate themselves. If Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is in the front, then they must necessarily be behind. So what are they to do? They need to eliminate the way of the Mahdi. And those who prepare the way for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). What do they do? They attack Bediuzzaman. What do they do? They attack Sayyid Salih Ozcan. They attack our brother Sungur. And what do they do? They attack me. Because we all prepare the ground for the way of the Mahdi. "…and then you can be people who do right." In other words, you can be a pure, select, good Muslim community with piety. What do you want in particular?" they ask. "You can be one of the faithful, select communities if you oppose the way of the Mahdi and neutralize Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)," they say. Those who do not want to be pious themselves imagine they can make themselves select by eliminating good people who are pious. This is satanic behavior.
"One of them said, 'Do not take Joseph's life but throw him to the bottom of the well, so that some travellers may discover him, if this is something that you have to do'."
"One of them…" that very likely refers to Hazrat Khidr (pbuh). Look; "Do not take Joseph's life but throw him to the bottom of the well, so that some travellers may discover him."That requires revelation. How could he know a passing caravan would pick him up? Only through revelation. We can see from this that Hazrat Khidr (pbuh) is involved, insha'Allah. Because this is just one of Hazrat Khidr's (pbuh) methods. What would the Prophet Moses (pbuh) say if he saw it? He might have said, "Why did you throw that sweet child into the well? Did you wish to kill him?" That is what the logic suggests. Or someone else might also have said that. "…some travellers may discover him." Knowing this and having direct knowledge that he would be pulled out by a passing caravan is a property of Hazrat Khidr (pbuh).
"(After reaching that decision) They said, 'Our Father! What is wrong with you that you refuse to trust us with Joseph when in truth we only wish him well'?"
They refuse to show respect, with a hypocritical spirit, even though he is a prophet. "What is wrong with you?" Look at that language! The hypocrites used that kind of crude language against our Prophet (pbuh). I am not saying they were hypocrites, of course, but their language was hypocritical. "… you refuse to trust is with Joseph…" He must have his reasons for not trusting them. Of course the prophet does not trust them. "…when in truth we only wish him well." That means you must not believe what hypocrites say. "We wish him well…" that is a fabrication. You wish him harm. "Why don't you send him out with us tomorrow so he can enjoy himself and play about?"Look, they are pretending to do good. "All of us will make sure that he is safe." That means one must not trust what such wrongdoing people say. They may use deceitful language. One must be on one's guard. "He said, 'It grieves me to let him go with you I fear a wolf might come and eat him up while you are heedless, not attending him'."
For one thing we must not grieve, this is a lapse by the prophet. "…while you are heedless," look how he shows the way on two points. One must never reveal a weakness. A Muslim must never let a weakness show. Because hypocrites and unbelievers will take advantage of it. He reveals two weaknesses. He says, "while you are heedless," one. "I fear a wolf might come and eat him up," two. He shows them two paths, two weak points. "They said, 'If a wolf does come and eat him up when together we make up a powerful group..."Really, hypocrites may squabble among themselves, but they watch out for one another. I am not saying that community is hypocritical, but it has a hypocritical character. "…in that case we would truly be in loss!"That is out of the question. We will neither do nor permit such a thing. The reference to the wolf is highly significant. He could have referred to many other animals, but he referred to a wolf. There are many savage animals. He could have said a snake, or a bear, or a hyena, or a scorpion. They would all be dangerous for a child.
"But when, in fact, they did go out with him and gathered all together and agreed to put him at the bottom of the well,..." see how they act in an organized manner. "…and agreed to put him at the bottom of the well," they all decided together. "We then revealed to him that," he received revelation, from Allah. "You will inform them of this deed they perpetrate at a time when they are totally unaware."
In other words, they will not be aware of you. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not be detected either, but he will reveal them what they have done. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will expose all the immorality of the hypocrites, those with no character and the generally base and immoral. For instance, he will expose all their lack of character one by one, saying, "you did this wrong thing and you behaved badly in such and such a way." That is what the Qur'an is referring to. "That night they came back to their father in tears,"why did they choose the evening? Because that is when everyone has gone to bed, when it is dark and everything is quiet, and so no search could be made. Their father could not say, "Go and look for him," because it was dark. That is why they chose the evening. People choose the evenings to commit treachery. They carry out their attacks in the dark. Because state officials had all gone home. But everything is busy during the day. They were weeping. Hypocrites and frauds always speak through tears in order to impress people. There is this public weakness, that when they see someone weeping they always imagine he is in the right. That is why those who wish to be thought of as in the right generally resort to tears. To gain public support. The more they cry, the more support they gain. Almighty Allah says this is a hypocritical tactic. Of course, this is not an immutable law. There may be exceptional cases in which people genuinely weep out of emotion. But generally it is a hypocritical tactic.
"…saying, 'Father, we went out to run a race..." They invented a terrible tale. This comes out in every hypocrite. They invent a terrible scenario. "…and left Joseph together with our things,"They provide details to lend their story credibility. Hypocrites and frauds always provide details. "This and that happened," to make it sound credible. Naïve people will believe it if you provide lots of fine detail. "…and then a wolf appeared and ate him up…" What did their father say? "I fear a wolf might come and eat him up." "…while you are heedless." What do they say? "…we went out to run a race…" so we heard nothing. Look how they attack those two weak spots. They think he will fall for those two weak spots. Because he let his weakness show. And they go for those weak spots. "Even if we tell the truth you won't believe it." This is another hypocrite tactic. "You would never believe it." People like that swear whatever it is, is true. "You would never believe it," they say. They begin by saying, "May Allah convince you that…" But he does not believe. "They then produced his shirt with false blood on it."That means they will meddle with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) with false evidence and documents in the End Times. They will interfere with Muslims. That is what Almighty Allah is indicating. False documents may be produced. "He said, 'It is merely that your lower selves have suggested something to you which you did;"Look, since he is a prophet he immediately realizes the kind of fraud being perpetrated. "…but beauty lies in showing steadfastness,"the moral fortitude of the prophet. "It is Allah alone Who is my Help in face of the event that you describe."Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will know the liars. This is a special ability.It is given to prophets by revelation, and will also be inspired in him.
"It is Allah alone Who is my Help in face of the event that you describe."
He says they are lying all over. "Some travellers came that way and then dispatched their water-drawer who let his bucket down [to draw water]."Why a bucket? Because that refers to the age of Aquarius, which we are in now. The age of the way of the Mahdi. "Good news!... I've found a boy," he says. What does our Prophet (pbuh) say? "Hear the glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)", "a boy." Because even in old age, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will look like a young man. "They then [pulled him out of the well and] hid him away among their goods."In other words, they regarded him as unimportant. He was not appreciated at first. They will also regard Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as unimportant and fail to recognize him. "Allah knew very well what they were doing."
Almighty Allah says that destiny was working. "They sold him for a pittance, a few small coins," they failed to appreciate him and regarded him as of little value. They will also fail to appreciate Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). "…considering him to be of little worth.."They fill consider Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) to be of little worth, at first. "The Egyptian who had bought him told his wife, 'Look after him with honour and respect. It's possible he will be of use to us or perhaps we might adopt him as a son'." Pharaoh does the same thing, being unaware. He protects him, not knowing he is the person who will bring the entire system down.
"And thus We established Joseph in the land to teach him the true meaning of events."He explains in the most excellent way. That is a most excellent analysis. "However, most of mankind do not know."
Allah does whatever He wishes, but most people are unaware of that. They are heedless. "And then when he became a full-grown man, We gave him knowledge and right judgement too." Allah teaches him what He has made lawful and unlawful and bestows very special knowledge on him. "That is how We reward all doers of good."
"The woman whose house it was…" The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) lived in the same house as her. He spoke with the woman. You know how they talk about someone "not being in contact with a woman"? But he lived in the same house as her. In other words, she was not lawful for him. They lived in the same house. "The woman whose house it was solicited him,"she wanted to have relations with him. "She barred the doors and said, 'Come over here'!" The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) had become very attractive. So that the woman was no longer able to restrain herself. But she had spoken with the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) before. But for some time she had been affected by his attractiveness, beauty, impressiveness, looks, behavior, state of mind, morals, body, cleanliness and everything. And eventually she went wild and said she wanted him. "Come over here!" She is quite open about it. But the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) says, "Allah is my refuge." He says they can talk, but not enter into sexual relations. Because the woman wants sexual relations. "He is My lord and has been good to me with where I live. Those who do wrong will surely not succeed'.""I will not engage in relations with you," he says. "She wanted him." Prophets are incredibly attractive. All prophets are very handsome and impressive. Allah creates them so women will like them. "and he would have wanted her, had he not seen the Clear Proof of his Lord."The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) also wanted her. One cannot want another person without seeing them first. He saw her and felt a sexual desire for her. "That happened so We might avert from him all evil and lust. He was Our chosen servant."
"He was our chosen servant." He declined sexual relations. Allah strengthened his heart and inspired him, so he refused relations. But he saw and spoke to the woman, and even desired her. "They raced to the door." The woman's desire has now reached insane proportions. She is that affected by the Prophet Joseph's (pbuh) beauty and attractiveness. And she is an arrogant woman, the wife of the sultan of Egypt. But she still goes crazy. They race for the door together. The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) is in front, with her behind him. She tries to catch the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). "She tore his shirt at the back." She was so crazed by lust that she grabbed onto his short and tore it. Of course she did that in trying to catch him. "They met her husband by the door." Allah brought them together at that exact moment. "She said…" Look, she is driven crazy by lust but is also lacking in moral conscience. Because loving for Allah is one thing, and loving for lust is something very different. "How should a man whose intention was to harm your family be punished for what he did except with prison or painful punishment?"It was not him doing it, but her. Look, "A man whose intention was to harm your family…" She slanders him. We can see from this that slanders of a sexual nature will also be uttered against Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), by women. They may use a prostitute. They may use loose women. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be falsely accused of adultery in this way. Or maybe he will be accused of attempted rape or something like that. "…with prison…" Look, she wants him to be imprisoned. That means that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will also be imprisoned, as a result of slanders by a prostitute or loose women or people of that kind. Because our Prophet (pbuh) says that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is "like the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). That is in the hadiths. "…with prison or painful punishment " She also wants him to suffer pain. "…painful punishment" or "prison." She is totally crazed by lust, animal lust. She does not love for Allah's approval. If she loved for Allah's approval, she would never do that. Because when she cannot assuage her lust it turns into an animal ferocity. And her behavior is unbalanced. She exhibits a totally two-faced character. That perfidious woman exhibits the character of a prostitute and is highly aggressive.
The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) said, "It was she who tried to seduce me." The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) defends himself and denies the accusation. He moves to defend himself. He is on trial. "A witness from her people then declared…" That means there will also be witnesses against Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). There will be witnesses for and against him. "If his shirt is torn in front, she speaks the truth and he has clearly told a shameless lie.
If his shirt is torn at the back, then she has lied and he has clearly told the simple truth."
This is the expert witness speaking. The expert's opinion has been asked. "He [her husband] saw the shirt torn at the back and said, 'The source of this is women's deviousness. Without a doubt your guile is very great." Women certainly are devious. Generally speaking, among themselves and across the world. My apologies to them, but the majority are like that. They stick together and are devious. "Your guile is very great." Women certainly are very well organized. Men not as much so. But women have the power to organize incredibly well on subjects such as this. They gossip and establish contacts. My apologies to pure, honest and devout ones, of course. "Joseph, ignore all this…" In other words, "stay away from this woman," he says. The man is a democrat and behaves justly.
"Joseph, ignore all this." And to his wife, he says, "and you, my wife, should ask forgiveness for your evil act."Look, he approaches matters in an Islamic manner. "There is no doubt that you are in the wrong." "You are the one who has sinned," he says. "Some city women said, 'The governor's wife solicited her slave."They immediately start gossiping. "He's fired her heart with love." But it is lust here, sheer lust, not love. Love is not like that. Lust is fine and lawful if combined with love, but lust alone is very dangerous. There are some psychopathic types, for instance who strangle or kill their women. Or women who shoot their men.
"We see that she's the one to blame."They call the woman a sexual deviant, a wicked woman. "But when she heard of their malicious talk, she sent for them..."She sends out an invitation because they are all against her among themselves. Women cannot bear to be the subject of gossip, and always plot against it. Women are generally very well organized in such matters. I used to hear things where we lived when I was a child. They cannot bear to be gossiped about. "She sent for them and made a sumptuous meal and then she gave a knife to each of them [to peel fruit with]. She said [to Joseph], 'Go out to them'." She was so sure of the Prophet Joseph's (pbuh) attractiveness that she thought no woman would be able to resist him. She thought they would feel an extraordinary passion for him. "When they saw him [his extraordinary beauty], they were amazed by him and cut their hands."Their hands and feet trembled, they could not pay attention to anything else. "They were amazed by him and cut their hands." Because they could not control themselves and concentrated on him alone. Because they fixed their lust on him, they ended up losing concentration and cutting their hands with those knives. "Allah preserve us!" Look how they speak like Muslims and say "Allah is unfettered, Subhanallah [Glorious is Allah]." "This is no man." They say he cannot be human. "What can this be but a noble angel here!"They said thatsuch an attractive and impressive person could not possibly be human. They originally disregarded him, but after he was given knowledge and wisdom he took their breath away. That means that faith is the root of love and passion and attractiveness. Allah combined a great electrical energy and love and desire for him. Allah made him His instrument.
"She said, 'You see! It's him you blamed me for."You accused me, but you have also been affected, she said. You have also lost control, she says, so I am innocent. So I was right all along, she says. "I tried seducing him but he refused." Here she is telling the truth. She says that she desired him. "But he refused." He refused to enter into sexual relations, she says. "If he does not do what I order him [to engage in sexual relations], he will be put in prison and brought low."
What will they do against Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)? They will gather up all kinds of frauds and cheats, prostitutes and liars, to attack him, by radio and television, and humiliate him and have him imprisoned. That is what the Qur'an refers to. They will try to belittle him. They will have him imprisoned. We can see from this that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be imprisoned.
"He [Joseph] said, 'My Lord, the prison is preferable to me than what they call on me to do."I refuse to sin and engage in sexual relations, he says. They can imprison me if they like. I will suffer death or go to prison or anything for my cause. That is his logic. "Unless You turn their guile away from me, it may well be that I will fall for them and so become a man of ignorance."
He seeks shelter in Allah. He is reluctant to engage in sexual relations. Protect me, O Lord, he says. Because, "it may well be that I will fall for them…" "His Lord replied to him and turned away from him their female guile and deviousness. He is the One Who Hears, the One Who Knows."
Allah will thwart their guile. That means the plots against Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will also be foiled eventually. They will plot, but Allah will thwart them. "Then, after they had seen the Signs [the evidence of Joseph's chastity], they thought that they should still imprison him for a time."The low, base types within the state at that time set about committing that betrayal and wickedness. Because they knew he was innocent and telling the truth; yet they still imprisoned such a luminous individual as the Prophet Joseph (pbuh), because a base and treacherous spirit ruled them, because injustice prevailed, because there was no sense of justice, because justice could be bought and sold cheaply, because the judiciary at the time were wicked, because the system was a perfidious one and because a state within a state was in operation. "Two servants entered prison along with him."
The Qur'an is plain, clear and explicit. Anyone who honestly abides by the Qur'an will be saved. Nothing else. Anyone who passionately loves Allah will be saved. Allah has not created the religion and the Qur'an to be complicated. There is nothing hard to understand in it. Lawful and unlawful things are all clear in it. The Qur'an is very clear and explicit. It is easy to understand. Someone who is honest, sincerely places his trust in and submits to Allah, who lives as a Muslim and who is scrupulous over what is lawful and unlawful will go to paradise. That is all there is to it.
Sickness draws one closer to Allah. It is the most effective means of drawing close to Him. Sickness is a great blessing. It is specially bestowed by Allah, as a blessing, not as an affliction. It is only an affliction for unbelievers and hypocrites. But it comes as a blessing for believers. It teaches one to submit to Allah. It can increase one's faith fourfold. And a really severe disease can increase it even more, insha'Allah.
Surat an-Nahl, 97:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan.
"Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer," in other words, if they behave honestly, with sincere religious observance, doing good deeds for Allah, living honestly and sincerely, fearing and loving Allah, then "We will give them a good life." There is a miracle here. Their lives are always good. Allah says He will give a good life to whoever it may be. "And We will recompense them according to the best of what they did."
Allah says He will also reward them in the finest way in paradise.
"Whenever you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed satan."
Why do we often pray to Allah? We ask our Lord to protect us from "the accursed satan."
"He [satan] has no authority over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord."
It is not enough to believe and say that one believes. What must one do? Submit to Allah. In all things. One must not fear disease, troubles, attacks or anything else, the ferocity of unbelievers and hypocrites. One must just fear and submit to Allah. He must know everything is created by Allah and submit to Him. "He [satan] has no authority…" Then there would be no doubts and a Muslim will be at ease. Satan has no compulsive power. One must believe in Allah, and also put one's trust in Him. In that case, he [satan] has no power over a person. If a person has faith but does not put his trust in Allah, then satan will afflict him. He has faith but no trust in Allah… If one is afraid of this or that, or if one worries whether one has cancer when a mole appears on one's body. If one says, "I wonder whether they will try and trick me, if anything bad will happen, or maybe a disaster, or if something will collapse on my head…" That is unacceptable. What will happen, will happen. A Muslim must place his trust in Allah, insha'Allah.
"He [satan] only has authority over those who take him as a friend and associate others with Allah."Who can satan use his power with? Those who take him as a friend and place their trust in him. Allah says he will rule them completely. He says satan will have authority over them and "those who associate others with Allah." Allah says that satan has authority over those who ascribe equals to Him, who have a hypocritical or unbelieving character. They go astray. Satan sometimes uses children, sometimes a person's profession or business. "Your goods, sons, the work you fear leaving undone, your fathers, your wives, your business and your homes. Expect these things if you regard your friends as more important than Allah, His Messenger and striving on His path," Allah says. People like that have gone along with satan. They think about their children, their parents, their families, their business and friends, Facebook and this and that, but they forget all about Allah. All these things are only of any value or meaning when they are for Allah's sake. They are worthless if not for His sake. Allah tells us to expect these things if one regards these as more important than Him. He says that He will then bestow an appropriate recompense, insha'Allah.
Surat an-Nahl, 102
"so that He may strengthen those who believe," Some people believe, but are not strong. What must one do? Strengthen one's faith. But how? Faith comes from the truth, from deep reflection. "Say: 'The Holy Spirit has brought it down from your Lord with truth, so that He may strengthen those who believe, and also as guidance and good news for those who submit'."
The Qur'an is good news and a guide. It is a book that guides one to happiness. If you obey the Qur'an you will obtain happiness, insha'Allah. And it is good news. What does Allah tell us of? Of His mercy. Of paradise. Of global dominion. And of good and peaceful lives in this world, insha'Allah.
(About sickness)
Sickness comes as an affliction to unbelievers and hypocrites, but for believers it is the most effective means of drawing close to Allah. The more severe the illness, the more the believer draws close to Allah and enjoys an astonishing proximity to Him. There is a huge difference between the power to achieve depth in the absence of sickness and in the presence of sickness. A person acquires the most magnificent ability and draws close to Allah in the most amazing way. In the event of fatal diseases, the patient develops the most wondrous power to draw close to Allah, as well as an astonishing proximity and seriousness and perfection. For example, Allah inflicted an unbearable sickness of the Prophet Job (pbuh). The sickness lasted for a very long time. "O Lord, I have received a tribulation from satan," he said. And what did Allah say? "Move your foot." Be active, being active is of the greatest importance. It is important to walk a lot, rush about, do housework and go about here and there. It is no use sitting immobile all the time. And that can even be harmful. Second, Allah told him to "Drink water." Dehydration harms the body. It is important to be active and to wash properly, as that also strengthens people. A lively, active person who does not heed himself will be healthy, but someone who is not will fall ill. It is very important to abandon oneself to Allah and say "Whatever You do, I belong to You." Otherwise a person will fall ill. What must we say? "O Lord! I wish to struggle [for Islam]. I want Islamic Union, so give me strength." It is no good saying; "I want to be freed from sickness so I can visit my children, finish school, go to work and make money, make more friends of Facebook, go to our summer house and have fun and that kind of thing." Asking for good health in that way is no good. Why must we ask for good health? "O Lord, give me strength so I can help You and serve as Islam. As a manifestation of You." But it is fine to ask for it in that sense. The Prophet Job (pbuh) did not ask for good health so he could go and have fun. Why did he desire it? He asked Allah for strength so he could propagate His religion. That is why if someone who prays for good health does so solely so that he can relax and take things easy, that prayer will not be heeded, by the law of Allah. It is not a prayer that Allah will heed. In order for prayer to be pure and genuine you must say, "O Lord, I have dedicated myself to You." What did the blessed Maryam (pbuh) say? That she had dedicated her child to our Lord, for Him, for His approval. In order to spread His religion and for His approval and so that people might live by the religion of Allah. What does Almighty Allah say to our Prophet (pbuh)? "Take yourself away from all things, from all aspects of life and put all your care, effort and energy into spreading the religion of Allah, the global dominion of the moral values of Islam." He tells him to concentrate all his energies on disseminating Islam. And our Prophet (pbuh) was never ill. Allah says that He has lifted that weight from him that had bent his back. He says He has given him ease and well-being. That is why all the prophets have had troubles, because they come in proportion to one's faith. Terrible troubles will afflict Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). But he will not let it show. Our Prophet (pbuh) never showed it, either. When he had a stomach ache they heated a stone and our Prophet (pbuh) would wrap it up and place it next to his stomach, hidden in his clothing, so nobody ever realized. That is why one must honestly and sincerely submit to Allah and ask for good health in order to spread His religion. To strive for religion, in other words. Not so that one can lie back and take it easy in this world. That is no good.2011-12-08 21:56:52

Distraught Bronte Vintage Gather-ing bosses were forced to cancel the second day of the weekend charity extravaganza due to torrential rain.
Activities went ahead as planned on Saturday at the showfield in Haworth Road, Cullingworth.
But after appalling weather over-night, event organisers decided at 8am the following day Sunday's schedule would have to be axed.
"The field was just a quagmire so we had no option but to cancel for safety reasons," said spokesman Trish Wood.
"We were absolutely gutted. It was the first time in the event's 16-year history we had been in this situation.
"The weather on Saturday was poor but everything still went ahead. But we had a lot more rain overnight and it would just not have been safe trying to move things around the site.
"The field was a mudbath and tractors were having to pull things out that were stuck. It was horrendous.
"I would like to say a huge thank you to the army of volunteers that worked tirelessly helping to sort things out. They were all heroes."
The event has coined in more than £300,000 over the years for Manor-lands, the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice. Mrs Wood said it was not yet known how the cancellation has affected this year's proceeds.
"It still seems totally surreal," she added. "We've had lots of messages of support that are greatly appreciated."
Attractions on Saturday included stalls, motorbike stunt displays, a dog agility show, falconry, horse rides, traction engines, tractors, classic vehicles, bouncy castles and bands.
A planned raffle will now take place at Manorlands. The Bronte Vintage Gathering group's next event is harness racing on June 29.

For some reason the processor cuts my short ribs into squares instead of leaving them English or flanken style.
Since I was going to grill them indirect I set up a drip pan and filled it with some Johnny's Au Jus, some mirepoix, and some limp herbs I found in the fridge.
After they were done they reminded me of Lyle Lovett.
I thought the sauce would reduce more but I still had lots of liquid so I strained it into a pan and reduced it that way. The vegetables and herbs were quite spent!
The sauce was already seasoned and flavored so the ingredients I added boosted things up a bit. In retrospect a little less tarragon would've been good, as it was almost too noticeable in the end product. More noticeable than even the rosemary.
Overall the short ribs were very good. I didn't season them with anything other than salt or pepper and because of the sauce I didn't use any smoke wood, but they still picked up a little bit of a smoke ring and had a good beef flavor. They did keep a little bit of chew but they definitely weren't tough, nor were they overcooked to the point of falling apart.

Police return to lake tied to Hernandez case
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 11:06 p.m.
BRISTOL, Conn. — Police divers have returned for a second day of searching in a lake in the Connecticut hometown of Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots player who is charged with murder.
Authorities have declined to comment on the search at Pine Lake, a 54-acre man-made lake in Bristol, except to confirm it is related to the Hernandez investigation.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the death of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old Boston semi-professional football player whose body was found June 17 about a mile from Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, Mass.
Authorities believe Lloyd was killed with a .45-caliber Glock, which hasn't been recovered.
Divers spent eight hours Monday at the lake, which has an average depth of 4 1/2 feet and is 12 feet at its deepest point.

NURSES have reacted angrily after ministers refused to agree an across the board wage rise in the NHS.
Unions have accused ministers of 'taking a scalpel' to pay and plunging morale to new levels, with some warning of industrial action in the coming months.
The recommended increase of one per cent will be given to some staff from April, but an estimated 600,000 health workers in England will only receive their normal incremental pay rise.
The same approach will be taken next year, leading unions to warn that NHS workers faced another two years of below-inflation pay increases.
Steve Flanagan, the Royal College of Nursing's regional director, who represents staff at East Lancashire's main hospitals and mental health service, said the decision ignores the recommendation of an independent pay review body for NHS staff.
He said: "Nurses across the North West will be angry at this announcement. NHS staff in the region are being told to be grateful, while their contractually-agreed terms of employment are torn up.
"North West nurses accepted in 2010 that the NHS needed to make efficiency savings. Four years on, having kept the NHS afloat through one reorganisation after another and despite the economic situation improving, they are still being asked to bear the burden of financial mismanagement which they weren't responsible for.
"In Scotland both the current and previous governments provided this small pay increase, showing they value patient care."
Unite said it will consult its 100,000 NHS members about the possibility of industrial action, while Unison and the GMB refused to rule out similar moves.
But health secretary Jeremy Hunt said implementing the pay body's recommendations in England would be 'unaffordable and would risk the quality of patient care'. He said about 6,000 nursing jobs would have had to be cut if everyone in the NHS had got the one per cent rise.

Sixth-ranked Gators not taking FSU lightly
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 5:40 p.m.
Florida coach Billy Donovan provided a brief history lesson before his team's first road game of the season tonight at Florida State.
Today's game
Who: No. 6 Florida Gators (6-0) vs. Florida State Seminoles (4-3)
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Donald L Tucker Center, Tallahassee
Gainesville TV: ESPNU
Gainesville radio: AM-850, 103.7 FM
Donovan was specifically asked about Florida State's struggles to start the season. The Seminoles are 4-3 and coming off back-to-back home losses against Minnesota and Mercer.
"I remember one year, it may have been with Noah and Horford and those guys, they lost back-to-back games and we went in there and they beat us," Donovan said. "I don't think that means anything to me at all."
No. 6 Florida (6-0) isn't about to take Florida State lightly. The memories of UF's 70-66 loss to FSU at the Donald L. Tucker Center in 2006 are still too fresh in Donovan's mind to suggest otherwise.
"We're expecting that Florida State is going to play their best basketball," Donovan said. "That's what we're expecting and I don't think our guys are expecting anything less."
It has been a topsy-turvy season for the Seminoles. Florida State lost its season opener at home to South Alabama, but looked terrific in winning back-to-back games against BYU and St. Joseph's in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Florida State's trademark smothering defense under 11th-year coach Leonard Hamilton has been spotty. The Seminoles are giving up 69.3 points per game while allowing opponents to shoot 41.1 percent from the floor.
"It's a rivalry game and they are going to be ready to play no matter what, no matter how many games they've lost before," Florida junior forward Will Yeguete said. "They're going to think it's a good win for their resume. So I think they are going to play harder than any game that they've played before. We just have to make sure we're ready to face their physicality."
The Gators have managed to play physical enough in winning their first six games by an average margin of 26 points. Florida is plus-11.2 in rebounding margin this season with 25 blocked shots. The Gators have held opponents to 48.5 points per game on 35 percent shooting.
In attacking FSU's defense, Yeguete said it will be important to play unselfish.
"We're just going to need to be strong with the ball and make sure we screen, make the extra pass," Yeguete said. "I think it's going to be huge to be unselfish in this game because they pressure the ball a lot and they gamble a lot. So we're just going to make sure we play as a team."
Florida could be without starting forward Erik Murphy, who has sat out practices since Friday with a hip injury he suffered against Marquette. If Murphy can't go, center Patric Young will likely return to the starting lineup with Yeguete, Scottie Wilbekin, Kenny Boynton and Mike Rosario.
"We've played with guys out, such as Scottie, Casey (Prather)," Rosario said. "This is a major key right now, us not having Murph. But I feel like Will can give us good minutes at that spot, and you know, I feel like everyone is prepared."
Donovan's message since Florida's 82-49 lopsided win over Marquette is to avoid complacency. In breaking down tape of the game, Donovan said he noticed some breakdowns in transition defense and said the margin of victory would not have been as great had Marquette hit some open shots.
"They need to guard against it," Donovan said. "When you are walking around and people are telling you how great you are, how good you are, what we did to Wisconsin and Marquette and all of this other stuff, I just tell them there is nothing there that helps them become better players."
G Kenny Boynton 6-2 Sr. 14.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg
G Mike Rosario 6-3 Sr. 11.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg
F Will Yeguete 6-7 Jr. 7.5 ppg, 7.7 rpg
F Erik Murphy 6-10 Sr. 12.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg
C Patric Young 6-9 Jr. 10.3 ppg, 7.8 rpg
G Michael Snaer 6-5 Sr. 14.1 ppg, 5.6 rpg
G Ian Miller 6-3 Jr. 7.0 ppg, 3.0 apg
F Montay Brandon 6-7 Fr. 6.0 ppg, 2.7 rpg
F Okaro White 6-8 Jr. 13.4 ppg, 5.3 rpg
C Kiel Turpin 7-0 Jr. 4.6 ppg, 2.4 rpg
Notes: Florida is 41-22 all-time against Florida State. The Gators have won three straight in the series, including a 55-51 win in Tallahassee in 2010. … Florida is off to a 6-0 start for the ninth time in program history and fourth time under Billy Donovan. … At 1,676 career points, senior guard Kenny Boynton needs just eight points to tie Stacey Poole (1,678 points) for fifth on UF's all-time scoring list. …Defensively, the Gators have held opponents to 26 points or less in 10 of 12 halves this season. … Junior forward Casey Prather is averaging 9.5 points and 3.5 rebounds off the bench in two games since returning from post-concussion symptoms. Prather is a perfect 7-for-7 from the floor. … Florida State is coming off back-to-back home losses to Mercer (61-56) and Minnesota (77-68). … The Seminoles are shooting 47.6 percent from the floor and 39.1 percent from 3-point range. … Guard Terry Whisnant is shooting 47.6 percent from 3-point range for FSU while senior guard Michael Snaer is shooting 41.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Call Goes Out for CCC Veterans to Attend Bastrop State Park Celebration of Federal Work Program's 75th Anniversary
BASTROP, Texas — Most of the men whose skilled hands during the 1930s and early 1940s helped build the structures that form the backbone of the Texas State Park system have passed on as the 75th anniversary of the Civilian Conservation Corps approaches. Those CCC workers who are still alive today are in their 80s and 90s.
The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department is trying to track down as many surviving CCC workers as possible to invite them to a special event on March 28-29 at Bastrop State Park. The event coincides with the 75th anniversary of the CCC's creation in 1933, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the executive order to put the Depression-era's young men back to work conserving the nation's natural resources by planting forests, building parks and other means.
Former CCC workers are invited to contact Janelle Taylor (512-389-4665), so she can extend an invitation to the March 28-29 celebration. Bastrop State Park is one of only six state parks in the United States built by the CCC designated a National Historic Landmark.
"We really need to find these guys and honor them," Taylor said. "We need the public's help." This group is so humble that unless someone tells them they need to contact me, they probably won't call."
About 100 former CCC workers attended a celebration at Bastrop State Park in 2003 for the 70th anniversary. During previous CCC reunions, Taylor and others have been collecting oral histories that provide a rich archive chronicling the CCC veterans' significant achievements so that future park visitors and others can learn about these remarkable men's achievements.
Thirty Texas state parks operated by TPWD bear the distinct mark of the young CCC laborers who erected permanent structures that reflect the National Park Service's trademark "rustic style." By 1935, 27 CCC companies were working in Texas state parks, building roads, bridges, swimming pools, dams and hundreds of sturdy, handsome rock-and-timber structures, such as Indian Lodge in Fort Davis. The 101 companies of young men at 130 CCC camp locations throughout the state developed 56 parks in Texas between 1933 and 1942 before many of them headed off to World War II.
For more information about the celebration, call (512) 389-4665.

HDR photography for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G wasn't something Apple provided under iOS 4.1, but that doesn't mean 3GS and 3G users have to be left out of the fun (if you're jailbroken that is). Redmond Pie has a great guide up showing how to enable the HDR camera option provided you've jailbroken them under iOS 4.1 and aren't adverse to SSHing and editing some files. The process really isn't that difficult, but as always, if you're not comfortable altering files on your iPhone, we don't recommend it. So hit up the source link for a detailed walk-through. And if you're not sure if it's worth it yet, read our take on HDR photography on the iPhone 4 or our full iOS 4.1 guide.

How to enable iOS 4.1 HDR photography on iPhone 3G and 3GS [Jailbreak]
I am not quite sure how you guys think the title is misleading, it isn't. It says jailbreak required, which should basically mean "yes an older firmware" - a jailbreak is not out yet. as vusum stated, i put IN the article it applies to older firmware versions.
Sorry for the shameless self advertising here but there is a much easier way to do that, which I talked about on my blog yesterday: http://www.iphonedownloadblog.com/2010/09/13/hdr-camera-enabler-brings-h...
Basically you can install an app directly from Cydia. And yes, it is for iOS 4.1, only for the very few of us who could jailbreak 4.1 with the unofficial version of PwnageTool. Mixed reports about the results though.
@Sebastien: It's only easier if you've jailbroken 4.1 :p
Re: titles -- It's never easy, we try to strike a middle ground between concise and clear and depending what people's preconception is, they'll either get it or fall too far on one side or another.
We're not perfect. Blogs aren't perfect. We love our readers.
-- Sent from my press conference.
We try and make sure legitimate links don't get deleted but it happens from time to time. When I clicked on the link, my computer blocked it and brought up the typical harmful content box. I deleted as I figured it was spam. I'm also on my work computer, which sometimes blocks things it shouldn't. Didn't mean to delete a legitimate link.
Alright, suggest a better title thats not ridiculously long and I'll change it? Happy??
Also care to explain how a title wording makes me a "fangirl"? Im extremely interested in hearing that reasoning. In my experience people only seem to throw that term around when they have no valid argument
The title isn't misleading but the content of the post is. Within the post it says
"Redmond Pie has a great guide up showing how to enable the HDR camera option in older firmware versions via SSHing and editing some files."
But the Redmond Pie article linked to in this post states that this only works on jailbroken 3G and 3GS with 4.1, not older versions. If you try it with a none 4.1 iPhone, the info that you enter into the plist file just gets removed.
@Steve thank u for explaining that in a civilized manner I can't edit from my phone but I'll shoot rene and email or update it when I get home. I misread the Redmond pie blog. Sorry about that.
Now that 4.1 JB is out is there a discovered way to enable the HDR on the 3GS new bootrom? I tried the plist modification and it didn't do a thing.

A BUILDER who threatened a taxi driver with a piece of wood in a dispute over a fare could be facing jail.
Graham Banks, 40, had held the plank above his head, screamed and shouted at Zaiynul Sultan and told him: "If you don't go, I will kill you," in the trouble outside a Nelson house.
Mr Sultan, who started to reverse down the street, told police Banks then came out armed with a knife and hammer and was banging the hammer on the wall as he walked towards him, Pennine magistrates heard.
The defendant, who claimed his beer had been spiked at an event he had attended, told the court his behaviour had been stupid. He admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards Mr Sultan on June 28.
Banks, of Fletcher Street, Nelson, was committed to the crown court for sentence, on September 1, as he is currently subject to a 12- month community order with supervision, imposed by Judge Beverley Lunt last August.
The higher court had been told how Banks had stolen his mother's pensioner partner's £20,000 life savings and faked a burglary to cover up his crime. Banks had stolen a safe belonging to the 72-year-old victim from the Nelson home the three shared and had hurled it in a field and taken the cash.
He then went to Blackpool, where he stayed four days in a £50-a-night guest house and spent the proceeds.
The justices heard how the cabbie picked up the defendant and his partner and dropped them off in Nelson. Both got out and started to walk towards a house, but neither had paid.
Mr Sultan asked the woman about the fare and she said she thought Banks had paid. The victim waited a couple of minutes outside the address, only to then be confronted by the defendant with the piece of wood. Mr Sultan radioed his base, police were called and Banks was later arrested.
The defendant, who was not legally represented, told the hearing he had had three pints and one tasted a bit funny. Banks said: "I felt like I had been spiked."
He added: "I have never been aggressive after drinking in the past."

Banning Texting While Driving in Kentucky
You've seem it many times before: you're driving down the Pennyrile or Frederica and you get cut off by someone either talking or texting on their cell phone. Let's face it, it's infuriating to say the least and with roads right now sometimes treacherous because the weather it is downright dangerous. Regardless of the time of the year, texting while driving (in my opinion) is a pretty dangerous task to be undertaking.

PHILADELPHIA - Adding to the Penn Sports Network experience this season, former Unviersity of Pennsylvania women's basketball standout, Jess Knapp, will be joining the broadcast team as the women's basketball analyst.
Knapp will join Penn women's basketball play-by-play announcer Dan Fritz, who is in his third season at the position. Knapp, is a three-year letterwinner and served as team captain in each of the last two seasons. Last year, she played the final 13 games of her career on two torn ligaments in her left knee. The Carlstadt, N.J., native missed just five games before returning to the floor. She started the final nine games for Penn and led the team in rebounding six times in that span. Her efforts earned her the 2011-12 Big 5 Sportsmanship Award.
Knapp also missed her entire freshman year due to injury. Despite the injuries, she played more than 2,000 minutes in a Red and Blue uniform and started 71 games. Over her career, she scored more than 500 points, grabbed more than 500 rebounds and dished more than 100 assists. She finished fourth all-time at Penn with 946career blocks. As a sophomore, she led the team in rebounding and blocked shots - her 40 blocks that year rank fifth in single-season school history. As a junior, she finished fourth in the Ivy League in blocks and was second on the team in points, rebounds, field goals and free throws. In her final year, Knapp was limited by her injury, yet still rled the team in blocked shots, rebounding average, was second on the team in steals and third in scoring and assists.
In addition, Knapp earned 2011-12 Academic All-Ivy and Academic All-Big 5 accolades as a psychology major at Penn and graduated in 2012.
