Smorgon was located between Vilna and Minsk. It was considered a small town in the district, but in truth it was livelier, if not even greater, than the district town Oshmien. It was easy to make a living in town there were more than a few wealthy Jewish families. Although most of the residents were simple shopkeepers and workers, Smorgon was considered a rich town. There was enough flour and the Jewish residents sought to plant also Torah as much as possible.
The main source of livelihood in Smorgon was the leather manufacture. The owners as well as the workers were totally dedicated to their work; however, spiritual matters were not neglected and Torah study was always first. When the Volozhyn Yeshiva was closed in 1892, some of the Balebatim [well-to-do and respected leaders of the community, lit. house owners] brought a number of students and teachers to Smorgon, thereby establishing, amidst the weekday atmosphere of business, a kibbutz [group] of learners and worshippers, who were immersed in Torah study with body and soul.
Most of the members of this kibbutz (called kloizniks), were adult men ordained as rabbis. But the group included younger men as well, who had just left the yeshiva to begin their independent lives. There were no regular lessons at the kibbutz, but the kloizniks would study in pairs, learning from one another.
One of the kloizniks (1895) became later famous as the
[Page 230]
Yiddish writer A. Weiter. His real name was Aizik Meir Devenishki, and the kloizniks nicknamed him the Bianiankener after the name of his town of birth. Aizik Meir Devenishki was probably 15-16 years old at the time; he was one of the oldest of the younger group.
Considering the standards of the times, the kibbutz was doing well financially. The kloizniks did not have to eat days. They even received a weekly support that could amount to 2 Rubles and 50 Kopeks a week for those who had been ordained as rabbis. The others received 30 Kopeks a week, sometimes less. But nobody was hungry the community would not let anyone fall. The money for the weekly payments was collected from various sources: at circumcision ceremonies, weddings, contract signing ceremonies, even at funerals. It was said that the community would collect money for that purpose from the living and from the dead. The collector, who was also the supervisor in the yeshiva and the beadle of the synagogue, was a short Jew, with a face that looked like yellow parchment. His name was Feitel. This Feitel would fast for days, sleep on a bench in the synagogue and be content with very little, as long as his kloizniks were taken care of. He was for them a father, albeit sometimes a very angry father.
Life in Smorgon was peaceful and comfortable. Businesses flourished, as did Torah study. However, this serene situation did not last long. Something happened in the shtetl that caused an uproar. It was kept secret for a long time, but in the end the secret came out. Horrible things became known, and the entire town was distressed.
In the outskirts of Smorgon lived a former activist named Ivan Frantzovitch Sinitzki, who was considered trouble by most of the balebatim in town. Sinitzki was a true Russian (although Polish by origin), a fine, respected gentile, who helped Jews whenever he could. However, he was one of those who intended to turn the world upside down change things that were there since creation. He was part of the Russian intelligentsia and he devoted his life to enlighten the masses. Among the Jews of Smorgon he found fertile ground for his ideas. Most of his students and followers were Jewish adolescents boys and girls.
[Page 231]
Sinitzki's influence was definitely felt in Smorgon. The sons and daughters of the best Jewish families would go to Sinitzki's house to listen to his lessons. Among them were the rabbi's daughter Liebe Ginsburg (who later became Mrs. Lyessin) and her sister Beile. The balebatim in town were furious, but kept silent: their own children were involved in this.
Sinitzki's influence reached even the Beit Midrash, the study-house where the kloizniks studied under Feitel's supervision. Sinitzki had two representatives there: young Nuchimovski and Shimshelevitz; they preached socialism the great and important meaning of Labor.
The idea of socialism we could understand and accept; but we could not consent to the activity of assimilators assimilators were treif, impure. We were nationalists.
Shimshelewitz, who was also a Hebraist, recommended a Hebrew book, The Enlightened Carpenter. This was a small book, part of a series of Hebrew books published by Ben Avigdor under the general name of One-Groshen-Books. This book described a Torah student, a genius from Volozhyn, who left his studies and became a carpenter, an enlightened carpenter, whose idea and goal was to be useful to humanity. Shimshelewitz told me that this was a true story. He knew the young genius who became the hero of the book: his name was Avraham Walt. Shimshelewitz also revealed the secret: this Walt had been in Smorgon a while ago and had a long argument with Sinitzki. Walt was indeed a genius he said a socialist, a poet, but he had not yet left Judaism. He was a fiery nationalist he was a genial person, a great personality
The Enlightened Carpenter caused controversy and indignation, in particular among the kloizniks
The book set forth among Jews the idea of work as a socialist concept. This idea was later adopted and promoted by A. D. Gordon, as the Religion of Work [Dat Ha'avoda].
[Page 232]
I was greatly impressed by Shimshelewitz's words
Even before I met Walt personally, I felt the effect of his ideas. Shimshelewitz would bring us pages of poems written by that mysterious person, who had become the hero of a tale. The poems passed from hand to hand; they were full of Jewish suffering and pain, and willingness to sacrifice his life for Jews.
But Shimshelewitz brought to the kloizniks not only national poems by Walt; he brought also revolutionary poems . this was actually his main goal. The poems had a significant effect; they greatly inspired some of the younger kloizniks.
The revolutionary poems were known not only among the kloizniks. Craftsmen and other workers were aware of them as well, and in 1896 circles of Jewish workers began to organize. Most organizers came from Vilna; among them was a friend of Walt (Lyessin), Shmuel Levine (Dr. Shmuel Levine, who died in New York about 30 years ago). Levine worked among the kloizniks as well and he talked with admiration about one of them, a genius, who became a great poet and socialist. He meant his friend Walt.
By that time, strikes began in town. This was already too much for the Balebatim they were furious. At the same time, a preacher came then to our town, Simcha Cohen, who was a singer as well as a speaker. He would sing his sermons in a threatening voice that penetrated the souls of his listeners. In his sermons he asked the fathers not to spare their sons, but to do everything in their power to annihilate the idol worship [socialism] from their midst. The effect of the sermons was great: it caused trouble in many families, where sons and daughters of rich Jews helped enlighten poor laborers, show them how they have been exploited and organized strikes against their own fathers.
Even among the kloizniks in the Yeshiva incidents began to happen. Feitel the supervisor caught one of the students, Botwinik (from Rakov) reading from a book that he kept on top of his open Gemara [Talmud volume]. Actually the book was an entirely
[Page 233]
innocent book: it was a grammar book of the Russian language by Kirpitchnikov. But a rumor began, that the Rakover was one of Sinitzki's men. The result of Kirpitchnikov's grammar book incident was sad indeed. One of the Smorgon Jews, the rich man Baruch Nathan, slapped the Rakover and drove him out of the Bet Midrash.
The fact that a kloiznik was beaten upset the entire kibbutz in the Bet Midrash. Older pious people were angry at Nathan, who dared to raise a hand on a teacher. The Rakover was a friend of mine, we lived in the same neighborhood; and although I did not always agree with him and we had many arguments about his friendship with the assimilates, I suffered the consequences of the well-known saying woe to the wicked, woe to his neighbor . Smorgon had become too crowded for me. Many of my acquaintances had moved to Minsk.

Not without excitement and longing I bring up my memories today on the sheet of paper before me As in a play, the images of my childhood pass before me through a bright transparent mirror, and I hold them one by one.
Smorgon my hometown my cradle stood in you, I took my first steps in you, in your streets I learned my first lesson in human relations, and bought wisdom in your Heders and schools.
My house in you was small, but the whole world resided in it. It was saturated with faith in God and love for the nation of Israel.
Untypical for girls, my father of blessed memory entered me to the Heder of Rabbi Gershon Yankel in Karka Street (Krever Gas). I was a small tender girl then. I was barely five years old.
Even now I can see in my dreams the long wooden benches adjacent to the tables. There were various strange engravings on them, birds and animals that the children's imagination carved, some with a small cheap knife, and some with a nail or a piece of glass. Next to this long table sat a congregation of babies, boys and girls, and learned prayers, the Chumash and the Bible. Next to the class room was a small room that served as the residence of the Rabbi and his Polish woman, dark and narrow was this room and its entire space was filled with two wide beds. The naughty among us played hide and seek under the beds of this gloomy room.
Attached to the Rabbi's house grew a tree that its bough almost covered the roof and sloped towards the fence. I remember that the teacher's goat was tied to this tree. The goat, the only daughter, was spoiled but kind hearted and overflowing with milk for the children of Rabbi Gershon Yankel. One day, the goat disappeared, and it was Tisha B'Av in the rabbi's house. The Rebbetzin clasped her hands, cried and shouted in a voice full of fear.
The goat is lost and gone, Woe to me! our provider! Needless to say, that we, the small children, participated in the great grief of the rabbi's wife.
My mother of blessed memory educated us in the spirit of tradition and religion. Every morning, when we got up, she placed us, the children, in a row and we repeated after her word by word: Modeh Ani Lefanecha [I am grateful before You], and at bedtime, when we climbed on our beds, she gave us a copper laver full of water and a bowl on its side to wash our hands and say: Hamapil hevlei sheina [the Bedtime Shema].
[Page 235]
Our mother insisted that also her daughters will pray Shacharit, Mincha and Maariv every day.
And what is remarkable in this? After all, our mother was the daughter of a rabbi, the granddaughter of R' Yosile der Villner, and also the uncles were teachers, judges and rabbis like R' Yodel der Zurferner, R' Zalman and others.
Every Friday, after Kabalat Shabbat, my father used to bring a poor guest to the house, and mother brought a needy Yeshiva Bocher [an unmarried Yeshiva student] every Tuesday.
My father was a scholar, a reader, a respectful man with a pleasant voice. His teaching was organized and in his spare time he taught us. How I loved to hear my father explaining the Bible. His explanations opened my eyes, and to this day I haven't forgotten the knowledge that I acquired from him in my childhood. On summer evenings and on the Sabbath he taught me Pirkei Avot and Barchi Nafshi in the winter.
The first planted words of wisdom and morals in my soul, and the second the love for poetry and the wonders of God. I grew up a little and started to study in the Reformed Heder [Heder Metukan] of the teacher Schinuk of blessed memory. He was an excellent teacher, a grammarian, an enthusiastic lover of Zion, and an advocate of the Hebrew literature. Parallel to my studies in the Reformed Heder I also studied in the Russian Elementary School.
Nevertheless, I preferred my Hebrew studies over the Russian studies. When I started to read Hebrew books on my own I didn't let them go. I was shaken when I read Ahavat Zion [Love of Zion] and Ashmat Shomron [The Guilt of Samaria] by Abraham Mapu. For many days I wandered dreamily and my eyes rose longingly to Zion.
Our teacher Schinuk had a large part in nurturing the Zionist dream among the children of Smorgon. He inspired us with his stories and lit a sacred fire in us for the love of our nation.
I remember a short essay that I wrote at that time under the influence and the teaching of our favorite teacher. The essay was about a way-of-a-dream, and this is its summery: One day the teacher Schinuk came and said to us: children we are going on a trip. The teacher took us and transferred us on eagles' wings to Eretz Yisrael. And here, our feet are standing at the gates to Jerusalem. We climb the mountains around her and descend into the valleys. In a valley, between fields and vineyards, Jewish farmers are reaping with joy, and the sounds of happiness and joy are being heard from all sides. Blue sky stretches over our heads. Jewish shepherds are sitting on the hills playing their flutes and their sheep are dancing in front of them. We come to a vineyard and our teacher picks a cluster of grapes and tells us: let's carry it with a pole for two- we carry the cluster of grapes and bring it to our brothers in the Diaspora.
I woke up and it was a dream. The teacher Schinuk of blessed memory checked the essay and praised the writer (it's me) publicly. He asked me to give him my essay so he could read it before the members of the Zionist Federation. I remember the phrase that the teacher wrote on the essay in addition to the grade:
[Page 236]
Indeed, your feet will step on the land of Zion and your eyes will see the return of our people to their country.
Not before long, the Reformed Heder of Schinuk of blessed memory received a burst of power. A young Jewish woman, a graduate of the Zionist School ''Yehudia'' in Vilna, who was qualified as a teacher, came to Smorgon, married our teacher Schinuk, and helped him with his revival work.
Maybe this teacher from ''Yehudia'' in Vilna was the cause of my deepen desire to be a teacher. That thought gave me no rest and I looked for ways to make it happen. My parents' financial status was strained, there were many children at home and my sisters came of age. O where will my help come from? My prayer and my secret tears were received in the heavens. Spirit and salvation came to me from a place that I've never expected.
In those days, Dr. Epstein of blessed memory lived in Smorgon. A precious Jew and an ardent Zionist. Though, he was a doctor for his people's illnesses, meaning, body illnesses, he didn't prevent himself from giving medicines for the illnesses of our people's spirit and soul. The city's Zionists gathered in his home for holiday parties or for reading parties from the nest Hebrew literature. And since I was gifted with a nice voice and read poems with the correct emotion, I was invited to one of these parties to read the poem Igeret Ketana[A brief letter] by Hayim Nahman Bialik. It seems that I succeeded in reading the poem, because soon after Dr. Epstein invited me and had a long conversation with me. He asked me about my aspirations, examined me carefully, and had made this decision.
The next day, Dr. Epstein came to my father, sat with him for a long time, and persuaded him to send me to a kindergarten teachers' school in Warsaw. My father didn't want to hear about Warsaw. Rumors spread: that girls were abducted in Warsaw in order to send them overseas but my father accepted Dr. Epstein's offer to send me to ''Yehudia'' in Vilna. And thus I arrived to Yerushalayim deLita. The gates to the Torah and knowledge opened before me in this Jewish metropolis, and I lived the life of national and cultural revival of that generation. On holidays I returned to Smorgon. In one of these days - we presented in this city Chana and her Seven Sons with Moyshe Kulbak, who later became famous. Smorgon, my Divine city, accompanied me in all the many stations of my life, in all my long wanderings around the world, in the steppes of Russia and Siberia, and in the European countries. And now, when I check my way of my life, I find that a lot of the grace and beauty of my hometown, from the good and noble, are embedded in [the remainder is missing]

I was born in Smorgon in 1903.
I studied at the Russian Elementary School which was located in Minsk Street. There were five classes in the school. The school's principal was Skott, and the teachers were Horowitz the author of the grammar book, Dubkis, and Filler. Mrs. Scott was the principal of an elementary school for girls
In 1911, at the age of eight, I entered the Elementary School's preparatory class. The school had about 250 students. Each student, who was accepted, had to be able to read and write Russian, be versed in the multiplication table and the four rules of mathematics.
Skott taught the Bible which was translated into Russian. We also prayed in Russian. We started the morning with a prayer for the king.
I studied four years in the school. The studies continued without interruption even during the war which broke out in 1914.
The big recruitment day came. The recruits, meaning, the reserves up to age 45, were transported to Oshmene [Ashmyany]. Their number reached tens of thousands.
During the first year of the First World War, convoys of Jewish refugees from Kovno, Jonava, Kurlandia [Courland] and also from cities in Poland arrived to Smorgon's station.
Immediately, our city organized a War refugee aid committee.
We welcomed the refugees in the train station. We brought them food. Smorgon's notable women worked in an improvised kitchen. Samovars were brought and tea was boiled. We watered and fed the poor people who fled from the German's sword, or deported from their place of residency according to the decree of the commander-in-chief of the Russian Army, Nikolay Nikolayevich, the Jews' enemy. We received the refugees who wanted to remain in our city with open arms. Some of them stayed with us for a whole year.
The Germans entered the city and captured it on the eve of Rosh Hashanah. They robbed the grocery stores and the wine stores. They handed out chocolate to the city's children to earn their trust.
The Jews treated them with open sympathy. Not out of love for Wilhelm [Kaiser Wilhelm II], but out of hatred for Czar Nikolay II, the Czar who was hostile towards the Jews. Under his orders, his wicked people, who pretended to be nationalists, carried out pogroms against the Jews in the cities of the Pale Settlement.
The conquerors didn't harm the civilians.
One fine day we heard shots from the Firibeiz? side, meaning, across the Viliya River.
[Page 262]
The Russians built a new bridge over the river, because the Germans demolished the old bridge and also blew up the railway line. The battle was fought almost within the city limits, buildings were ignited and fires broke out.
The Russian infantry seized the city and took it from the Germans. Cossacks' troops arrived after the infantry.
After a few days, an order arrived from Nikolay Nikolayevich to burn the whole city and expel all of its Jewish residents.
Those who refused to obey, about forty people, gathered in the Koidenav Shtiebel. The Cossacks burnt the house on them.
The Cossacks stormed the few dozens men and women who hid in Kovrsky's liquor workshop. They tortured the women and set the distillery on fire.
All of us, who were expelled from the city, walked towards Minsk. We arrived, some in a cart and some by foot, to Maladzyechna. From there we traveled by train to Minsk. In Minsk they put us in the synagogue. We were welcomed by the workers of the Red Cross and the members of the Refugee Aid Committee. Only a few refugees from Smorgon remained in Mink. The majority of the refugees traveled to various cities: Bogorodsk, Krakow and Poltova. Some traveled farther and reached Siberia. Some immigrated to the United States through Harbin [China] and Japan.
When we were expelled we didn't have the time to take food, clothing or underwear with us, we left with nothing. A few refugees bundled a little food in a tablecloth and the women took Sabbath candles.
We had a big oven in our house and the neighbors used to keep their Sabbath meals in it. Our uncle lived in the Bears Street. He was a busy factory owner and didn't know what was happening in the city. As usual he came to our house on Saturday to attend the Shabbat meal with the family. He entered, and to his astonishment he saw the Cossacks sitting around the table eating Jewish food, fish, meat and cholent, that they took out of the oven. They showered him with blows and he fled for his life
After the feast, they took kerosene from our storeroom, poured it on the Jews' houses and set them on fire. - - -
In 1920, some began to return to Smorgon. These were the forerunners meaning, the families who lived in Minsk and their return journey wasn't long. Most of Smorgon's residents returned in 1921-1922. Some of those who returned stopped on the way and lived temporarily in Vilna, and some came straight to Smorgon. They settled in the cellars of the surviving buildings. A few busied themselves in building new houses to replace those that were burnt. For building material they used the wooden beams that they removed from the trenches which remained intact. They were built two, three, or even four stories below ground.

Liposuction is an elective surgical procedure. It reshapes the body through the removal of excess body fat.
Some common reasons for choosing to have liposuction include:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Liposuction results are not the same for everyone. Some factors that may affect results include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your doctor will likely:
Leading up to your procedure:
There are 2 anesthesia options for liposuction. Your doctor will help you to decide which is best for you.
A special fluid containing saline (salt water), additional anesthetic, adrenalin (to minimize bleeding), and bicarbonate (to minimize pain from injection) will be injected into the fatty areas. You may have an incision for the fluid injection. 1 of the following 3 extraction techniques will be used:
After the fluid is added, a small incision will be made near the area to be suctioned. In traditional liposuction, the doctor will use an instrument called a cannula to suction the fat. A cannula is a hollow tube, like a drinking straw. A vacuum pressure unit, which is attached by a hose to the cannula, will provide the suction for the procedure. Once fat has been removed, the incisions may be sutured closed or left open to drain.
The following are different types of liposuction available:
The length of a procedure depends on:
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
When 5 liters of fat or more is removed, an overnight stay will be required.
During your stay, the care center staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
Results of the liposuction will not be seen right away. Depending on the amount of fat removed and the body's ability to heal, visible results may take weeks or months to appear. Typically, swelling begins to decrease within a few weeks of surgery. However, it may take months to fully subside. Bruising may last 3 or more weeks. Numbness may persist for several weeks before it begins to fade. After the swelling and bruising disappear, the true result of the procedure is seen. If postoperative weight is maintained, the results of the liposuction can be permanent.
To help with your recovery at home, you may need to:
If desired results are not achieved, or if the skin remains loose, additional surgery may be needed.
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Samsun Aks; TV Kayseri, 26 January 2011
The theory of evolution is a system of enchantment. It has no evidence. But there is no end to their demagoguery. They do not use fossils, they do not explain the structure of proteins, they have no lab results, all they have is demagoguery. You should bring your fossils to the studio. Since you say you have transitional fossils, at least bring us photographs of them. Publish the structure of protein, so people can see. You say it came about by chance, so let us see. You know it did not form by chance. And if protein did not form by chance, that is absolute proof of creation. That is an end to the matter, that one point puts it to rest.
They make a grave mistake to use terms such as "insha'Allah and masha'Allah" as the subject of jokes. Because in the End Times, in the time of the way of the dajjal, those who use the terms "insha'Allah and masha'Allah" will rule the world. Insha'Allah means by Allah's leave. Masha'Allah means, how finely Allah has created. Therefore this is a recitation of the name of Allah and fine words in themselves. There is nothing funny about them. They are not words to be laughed at or joked about. It is hateful to joke about religious matters. If someone lacks the wit to make proper jokes and tries to use religious matters as the subject of jokes, then Allah will visit sickness and troubles on him. Allah will visit scourges upon him that he never expected, and he will duly suffer.
"There will be a turban on his head, and a man will emerge from that turban and point to the Mahdi, saying, "This is the Mahdi, the caliph of Allah! Follow him!'" (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 25)
If someone has a turban, then he will be inside that. A person may wear a coat, and he will be in that. That means that a worthy scholar wearing a turban will appear and tell people of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and draw their attention to him. That means that in the End Times there will be a scholar who wears a turban who is aware of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and will speak of him. A person cannot emerge from a turban. A person could never fit inside one, so he cannot emerge from one and start pointing to the Mahdi. Only an angel could do that, and that would eliminate free will. It would be a cessation of the law of Allah. If we take it as a man wearing that turban, then it is very clear. Someone will emerge and say, "This is the Mahdi, the caliph of Allah! Follow him!" People's attention will be strongly drawn to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Allah knows the truth. The hadith suggests our Sheikh. He wears the finest turban. He givs the turban its just dues. "A man from inside the turban" it says. This is Sheikh Nazım who most imparts the glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Together with his followers, Ahmet Yasin Hodja and his other followers. It is very clear, by the law of Allah. It is perfectly logical for the hadiths to refer to Sheikh Nazım Hodja in the End Times. Because he is a very important person. The Mahdi will plant a dry stick in the ground and it will immediately flourish and bear leaves. A dried stick, a branch, a staff. By its flourishing, it means he will be instrumental in many people attaining happiness, in their coming to Islam. We can interpret that as meaning they will come to the Qur'an.
" The River Euphrates will be cleft open and a mountain of gold will pour forth from under it. "How has the Euphrates been cleft? One has to work hard to do that with bulldozers and diggers. "Gold will pour forth from that mountain." What is electricity? As valuable as gold. What is obtained from there will be very valuable. Gold was the unit of currency of the time. There were no dollars or lira, gold was the currency. It says that gold will flow. It speaks of something flowing, insha'Allah.
Kaçkar TV, 26 January 2011
Ukraine is a fine part of the Turkish-Islamic Union. They will also attain plenty, abundance, wealth and beauty within the Turkish-Islamic Union. They will also experience that joy, insha'Allah.
Sunni-Shiite enmity is one of the worst dangers and corruptions. Shiites are immaculate people who say, 'La Ilaha IllaAllah Muhammadan Rasulullah," The reason why America is suspicious of Iran is that Iran has not submitted to the Mahdi (as). But once Iran submits to the Mahdi (as) America will have no more say. What America is concerned about is that invisible belief in the Mahdi. America has no quarrel with the Mahdi (as) as described by the Sunnis. That is in any case what America wants. It wants Turkish-Islamic Union. In that case, Iran will cease to represent a danger and will pose no risk. Turkish-Islamic Union will bring peace, ease and abundance to the whole region. Everybody knows that.
The number of Muslims is more than enough for Islamic Union. What is the one thing needed to be done? Islamic Union. They must say they want it, and if they do, then Islam will rule the world. If they say that, it will happen. This is a structure stemming from some unfortunate Americans. The American state has made an official announcement on the subject. "We want Islamic Union because it will bring peace to the region," they say. That is the view of people at the highest level. But you do not want it. Why not? Because it might pose a risk to your sheikh, family, assets or holding companies.
There are intensive efforts being made to isolate Muslims and make them a detested community. They also use various ignorant teachers to that end. And they enjoy wide global success. A huge hostility toward Muslims is spreading in Europe. They are following a policy of hatred that may even go as far as war. Many Muslims want to lead Muslims and Christians into a fire that will put the Crusades right and make them components of a policy that will lead to terrible slaughter. But I have put a stop to that corruption and am still doing so. That is my work. I speak with masons, Knights Templar , Catholics, Jews and other groups. I tell them of Islam and the Qur'an, and the way of the Mahdi and Islamic dominion. They now hold conferences about Turkish-Islamic Union in masonic lodges. The talk about the benefits of Turkish-Islamic Union, its goodness, the peace and justice it will bring to the world, its benefits to art and science. I watch over them with protection. I want them to be well. I do not want blood or corruption. I want the world to be brothers. I want everyone to be happy under the umbrella of Islam. The way for that to happen is my meeting and talking. Not through enmity. Not through blood and hatred.
"In his (Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh)) day, life expectancies will increase. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah)"
This phenomenon in the hadith, life expectancies growing in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), refers to Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) scrupulousness stemming from Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) regarding his community and the nation of Islam as his own children and brothers. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will take great care over his community's food and drink. That is what is expected of a rational person. For one thing, it appears there will be no circulatory diseases in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Because he will take great pains over their nutrition, that they should do sports, be happy and not suffer. What is it that drags a person down? Sorrow, fear and pain. The result is psychological breakdown. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will eliminate psychological breakdown. People will live longer because they enjoy happiness and joy. They will remain young and fit. There will be great progress in science and technology, and huge discoveries in medicine, and these will all contribute to that. Since he takes great care over what is lawful and unlawful, since people's food will be in line with the Sunna of our Prophet (saas), people will be very healthy, and that will stem from healthy eating. Since people will be freed from unlawful foods the result will be even greater health. Millions of people die because of alcohol and cigarettes. But they will be unable to find alcohol and cigarettes, so they will be happy, they will enjoy the happiness of faith, love of Allah and passion for Allah. Ease, comfort and joy will thus come to people's hearts. As a result, people will live longer.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/12/2012 (1720 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers general manager Joe Mack says a continent-wide search for a new assistant GM determined the best man was already working in the Bombers offices all along.
Mack told reporters in a conference call Wednesday afternoon the club considered 16 to 18 candidates from across North America for its vacant assistant GM job before deciding to promote special-teams coach Kyle Walters to the position.
"A lot of people had extensive experience in pro football in the CFL and the NFL, to be quite frank," Mack said. "But with Kyle, he's been in the league for three years (and) it's a huge positive he's played in the league and been captain of a team.
"And (the fact) he's been a head coach of a CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) program just added to his overall value."
It's known the Bombers also pursued TSN analyst and widely respected Canadian "draftologist" Duane Forde to take the assistant GM job.
But the Free Press reported last month \the Bombers balked at Forde's salary demands and decided to hire Walters instead at Mack's urging.
Mack said he intends to involve Walters in all aspects of the Bombers front office, from draft research to negotiating with agents. The Bombers potentially have 12 free agents this winter.
Walters does have some experience negotiating contracts -- he acted as his own agent during his playing career.
Asked if he will groom Walters to be his successor, Mack hedged.
"I think any good organization ought to be conscious of a success plan. Our intention is certainly for Kyle to grow in the position and be a candidate if that does occur."
Mack said the final say on all decisions -- including on draft day -- will remain his.
"Although everyone will be involved in the process... it will always be the general manager's final decision when it comes to personnel," he said.
Walters replaces longtime former assistant GM Ross Hodgkinson, who was sacked last month.
Walters, who had a seven-year CFL career as a defensive back in Hamilton, joined the Bombers in 2010 after four years as head coach of the Guelph Gryphons of the CIS.
In 2011, he added duties as the Bombers' Canadian college draft co-ordinator, and on Wednesday added the title of director of Canadian scouting to his new assistant GM title.
"I'm excited to get going," Walters said. "From a Canadian draft standpoint, I'm just planning on building on what we've already been doing the last couple years.
"Instead of spending four to six weeks after the season trying to cram everything in... I'm excited at the opportunity to get out more during the season and be less focused on coaching and more being able to be at the schools and see practices and kind of spread the workload out throughout the entire year."
Walters was part of the decision-making that went into some very successful recent Bombers draft picks, most notably offensive lineman Chris Greaves, slotback Cory Watson and middle linebacker Henoc Muamba.
But Walters was also in the room when the club used their fourth-overall and third-overall selections the last two years, respectively, to pick receiver Jade Etienne, who has one catch in two years , and offensive lineman Tyson Pencer, who has yet to play a down in the regular season because of a recurring shoulder problem.
Mack said he still holds high hopes for both Etienne and Pencer. Walters says his grading of all eight CFL teams' performance in recent drafts has the Bombers at or near the top.
Walters, 39, is married with two children. The family resides year-round in Winnipeg.
Mack said he has already had preliminary discussions with head coach Tim Burke about hiring a new special-teams coach, adding that decision likely won't be made until the new year.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/HowTo:Walk on Saturn without falling over
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit HowTo:Walk on Saturn without falling over
Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 11:25, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
|Your humor is great. This is the common side of your articles: they don't lack any jokes. My favorite parts are about "Certificate", "History", "Introduction". Sorry for not being able to tell you any suggestions of improvement.
|I appreciate your idea: to make a guide on walking on Saturn. This article has a very different structure from other HowTo s. But this doesn't make it bad. The particularity of your work is that:
|Prose and formatting:
|Very good! You have several problems: punctuation (...), capital letters (LIFT OFF, YOU) and several rhetoric questions which are not common in encyclopedias or even in HowTos. They are not that significant because they don't spoil the impression of your article but you still need a little bit of work. Other few remarks are:
|I have never seen an article where all the images were so relevant. I don't think that images could be better. I had an impression that you took photos yourself knowing which ones you needed.
|Average score.
|Final Score:
|Very well done for your first HowTo guide. It is very funny and is good enough for VFH but I think that you should improve the length of your sections and the information they contain (Concept), several formatting problems (Prose). I laughed a lot of times while reading your article!

Tendon & Ligament Strength Training
Learn Lost Arts
of the
Old Time Strongman
The now common association of "pumped" muscles as an indication of strength is a relatively modern phenomenon. While big bloated muscles may look good at the beach, they won't do much for you on the field, in the ring or on the lifting platform. Functional muscle is the mark of a champion athlete.
The importance of tendon and ligament strengthening techniques are rarely seen in today's training literature.
What little material that you will find on this subject has been developed more from a rehabilitation perspective and will do little for a strength athlete. Roger LaPointe, President of Atomic Athletic, has done hours of historical research in a variety of different sources in a effort to unlock the secrets of tendon and ligament development.
Tendon and Ligament training will help strengthen bones, connective tissues and joints for dramatically increasing power while simultaneously decreasing the chance for injury.
In addition to this research, Roger provides his own training experiences and techniques. His teacher for a number of years was Dick Smith, the original coach of the legendary York Barbell Olympic lifting team. "Smitty" taught Roger a number of the training methods that helped the York team win gold medal after gold medal. Roger has had great successs with these techniques while running his own company and working full time.
This one-of-a-kind video shows the time tested methods of increasing the strength of the ligaments and tendons using pre-drug era concepts and lifts that you just don't see anymore
Over 51 minutes of lifting action:
-Power rack training for beginners and veteran lifters. You'll never look at your rack the same way again.
-Singles for size and strength. It can be done, heres how.
-Chain lifting techniques. This technique can double or triple the effects of your barbell training.
-Iron Ring training for building ultimate grip power and claws for hands.
-How to use the weightlifting machines that you might find in any gym to build tendon and ligament power. Now you can build super strength wherever you go.
-A special apearance by the Kool-aide man!
Tendon and Ligament training is the "secret weapon" that can help you become a champion.
On this Item!
Atomic Tip: Using the Hand & Thigh Bar with the Chain Lift Bar for a Kennedy Lift will allow you to go much heavier than a Jefferson Lift (barbell Straddle Deadlift), as you can "set" the bar in the partial movement. While you certainly can use bumper plates, cast iron 100's are far more dense. Make sure you use accurate ones, or at least weigh them so you can get the weight right from one end of the bar to the other. Obviously, you want the chain lift bar to have a balanced load, without loose wobbly collars.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/1/2013 (1690 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Address transparency
I am not an expert on the Indian Act or the government omnibus bill that is in the works, but I imagine more than 90 per cent of the people protesting with the Idle No More movement are in the same predicament as I am. This, however, is common knowledge. Chief Theresa Spence's Attawapiskat reserve contains approximately 1,800 people, many of whom live in Third World conditions, yet she receives millions of dollars from both the federal and Ontario governments along with revenues from mining and casinos.
One can only hope that after she is finished with her meetings with the federal government that the residents of the Attawapiskat confront her and demand financial transparency and fairness.
Don Hermiston's Jan. 3 letter highlights many ignorant and incorrect beliefs regarding Attawapiskat. Clearly, Hermiston can correctly operate a calculator to determine that $17.6 million divided by 1,550 people equals $11,354 per person. He is perpetuating the erroneous belief, however, that Attawapiskat is handed a blank cheque for $17.6 million and is squandering it.
An examination of Attawapiskat's audited financial reports, readily available on the Internet, clearly shows that their spending is in line with most other jurisdictions. For example, $5.5 million of the $17.6-million budget was spent on teacher's salaries in the last fiscal year. Although their school is still closed due to a toxic oil spill, students are still attending school in portable classrooms.
Hermiston's comments are typical of those who like to falsely imply there is no financial accountability on First Nations reserves. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Stephen Harper began this finger-pointing when he intentionally misled Canadians into believing that Attawapiskat had wasted $90 million instead of building muchneeded housing (clearly a deceptive number). Hopefully, Canadians and Canadian media outlets learn more about Spence and the history of Attawapiskat soon and we stop hearing more of the same tired and blatantly untrue accusations.
An inconvenient truth
Exporting assault weapons approved (Jan. 3). The recent decision to allow the sale of automatic weapons to Columbia uncovers an inconvenient truth about Canada. Although it would be logical to blame the Harper government for such short-sighted profit-motivated weapons trade, the truth is that Canada has been in the top 15 arms exporters for many years — regardless of the kind of government we have had (Stockholm Peace Research Institute).
Our national self-opinion holds high the ethic of peacemaking, but our exports tell a far different story. Weapons and war equipment making industries proliferate in our country, including Winnipeg. Do we really want to continue to have such blood on our hands?
Pope acted quickly
Jerry Storie's base attacks on Pope Benedict XVI ( Infallible hypocrisy, Letters, Dec. 29) need rebuttal. Joseph Ratzinger's whole family was absolutely opposed to all Nazi ideas and actions. Sixteen year-old Joseph was conscripted, given military training and assigned to serve in an anti-aircraft battery in Germany. To survive, he had to do this. What else would his critics have done?
The abominable, 20th-century tragic sexual abuses (mostly homosexual) among a tiny minority of Catholic clergy, brought on by the sexual manias of the 1960s and compounded by the deliberate subversion of some seminaries by sodomists, shocked Pope Benedict when he heard about them. He promptly condemned them, and took corrective actions.
In his global visits, he has met, and apologized to, many of the victims. He took very firm measures to tighten up church laws and procedures to try to prevent the abuses recurring and to hold those responsible for them accountable in civil and church courts.
All these grave sins and crimes were in contempt of rational Catholic requirements, carried out by a fraction of one per cent of the staff and members who make up the human side of the divine church, established and commissioned by Jesus Christ. It is the guilty persons who deserve blame, not the church.
Sexual addicts dislike Pope Benedict because he knows very well what is wrong with their absurd, evil, destructive lifestyles, and courageously teaches accordingly, under his 2,000-year-old papal mandate. They should be thanking him for warning them about nature's heavy penalties for those who mock its laws.
Even plumbers know that one never puts two parts of the same gender together if one wants a good result; and they also know where, when, how and why such parts were meant, by their complementary nature, to ideally fit together.
Reynolds reaches deep
Re: Reynolds' raw reporting some of best in 2012 (Jan. 2). Congratulations to Lindor Reynolds on being recognized for her touching column on Ana Marquez-Greene.
Reynolds is a wonderful writer who reaches deep into her soul to convey the feelings of the person or family she is writing about.
She never just gives us just the facts; we can turn on the TV for that. Instead, she gives us a connection to the person or issue she is writing about.
It can't be easy to write this way. It's what makes her so special, and it must be emotionally draining sometimes.
Doubly stigmatized
Re: Bid to reshape dementia attitudes (Jan 3). I note in your article regarding dementia that there is a tendency for people to see the disease and not the person who is suffering from it.
Unfortunately this is a common experience for those individuals with Alzheimer's disease, as it is for anyone with just about any type of mental illness. What is truly disturbing, however, is how this attitude is reflected in the minds of policy-makers when it comes time to allocate health-care resources. Here we have a group of patients who are doubly stigmatized by being both elderly and with mental illness, and cannot effectively advocate for themselves.
As a psychiatrist who provides care to the elderly, I can only hope that as the demographics of our society evolve over the next few decades, and we have an ever increasing number of people who fall into this double jeopardy of age and mental illness, the message will eventually get through that we cannot forget about these people when it comes time to plan how our health care system will respond to their needs.

Opposition hears manufacturers' calls for lower dollar
Jan 28 (BusinessDesk) - An Opposition party inquiry into the manufacturing sector heard from a cross-section of exporters at Parliament this morning, all of whom argued a lower exchange rate was more important to them than any specific government support to their industry.
Led by the chief executive of the New Zealand Manufacturers and Exporters Association, John Walley, the inquiry heard dire predictions about the state of the New Zealand economy if its ability to manufacture elaborate, high value products were allowed to continue eroding.
"The biggest thing is the exchange rate," said Walley, a long-time critic of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's singular focus on controlling inflation.
High-tech entrepreneur and Labour Party backer Selwyn Pellett told the inquiry his companies had exported more than $450 million of goods and services since starting in 2001, when the exchange rate was US39 cents, compared to US83 cents today.
Pellett was uncertain he would have started his business if the exchange rate had been so high 12 years ago. He was about to bank about $10 million in gains on the sale of his shareholding in Endace, a software company he helped found, but would not invest that sum back into the New Zealand economy at present.

Eric Bledsoe had 15 points and six rebounds in just 18 minutes on Saturday when the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1. The 23-year-old guard shot seven of seven overall and helped the Clippers pull away in the fourth quarter.
Chris Paul is a free agent at season's end but is sounding more and more positive about re-signing with the Clippers. Even so, Paul knows the Clippers will have a difficult time keeping Bledsoe long-term -- much less past this season.
"There's no way he can be here next year because we probably won't have enough money to pay him," Paul said.
Bledoe has one season left on his contract.
"He should be a starting point guard in this league next year," Paul said of Bledsoe.

Opus Technologies' Titanium MT-200 Mid-tower Chassisby Purav Sanghani on 4/23/2004 3:06 PM EST

appu - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 - link"Since the MT-200 did not come with any case fans, we decided it would be best to install third party fans to simulate a typical system. We installed four 80mm fans, just as many as the Thermaltake VM3000 Skull series had. Though an optional 120mm fan can be mounted at the front of the chassis as an intake, we thought it would be best to test the case in the same state that the VM3000 was tested, since they are basically the same chassis."
While the reasoning above was fine as far as
bechmarking is concerned (where variables have to
be kept to a minimum), it would've been great to
look at temp. and noise figures with that 120 mm
fan also plonked in. After all, one also has to
test the strengths of individual systems and not
just their performance across a level playing
field. It's a bit like testing a CPU's overclocked
performance after getting stock speed readings.
My two cents. Reply
KristopherKubicki - Saturday, April 24, 2004 - linkYeah its just some titanium alloy over the skin of the unit. i think it looks nice, but you have to see it up closee i suppose.
Kristopher Reply
Zepper - Saturday, April 24, 2004 - linkI doubt there is any real titanium in that case - just a relatively close color match. The basic chassis is sold under many names including: Athenatech, A-GPB, Enermax (the few of their Ti finish units I can find are going for ~$100 each), Key Power, Bow Technology and now Opus. Even Fry's/Outpost sells a custom version - one of the best looking of the bunch, IMO. And you really can't beat the internal design.
. I particularly like the version with 4 5" bays at the top and another 3 5" bays in the bottom. You can install two 5-drive, hot-swap cages in there with room left for 1 optical and 2 more stand-alone HDs. Not to mention plenty of room for the largest ATX mobos. Helluva cheap server box!

roostercrows - Saturday, April 24, 2004 - link"titanium is softer than steel"."it also can't be polished"
what unknown alloy of steel compared to what micron thin titanium coating on what unknown alloy of steel? all steels are alloys. using what test? Knoop Microhardness, Vickers Microhardness, Rockwell C Hardness, Rockwell 15N, 30N or 45N Superficial Hardness? it's important to know what you are comparing before you opine and even then it's tricky. mild steel is 20-25 HRc, tool steel is 44-57, chrome is 65-68, carbide is 72-81 and titanium nitride is 84-88, diamond is about 98. in theory and just for fun let's compare the edge of a "kill bill" samouri sword at about 58-60 Rockwell "C" (some chinese sword have 62-64) to a TIN (titanium nitride)sword. Uma would be dead and we don't want that. no "kill bill" three?
also, it's easy to put a very high polish on even annealed pure titanium with a Rockwell "C" of 11. i would love to find a case made completely of titanium alloy and aluminum alloy, just to have one as i use water cooling and i don't need the case to radiate much heat. plating or polishing makes less heat get radiated away, like chrome plating the fins of an air cooled motorcycle. it makes it run hotter not cooler.
i also like the 3.5" I/O module
Operandi - Friday, April 23, 2004 - linktrue, using Ti dosn't make much sense, unless it really looks that much differant then steel or Al.
Other then that it looks like a pretty sweet case. Reply
Odeen - Friday, April 23, 2004 - linkGuys... Titanium is NOT a good material to be anywhere on a computer enclosure. While it IS far more rust-proof (A coat of oxide forms on titanium as soon as it is exposed to air, and stays there to prevent further corrosion) than steel, titanium fails as a computer enclosure.
Titanium is softer than steel - it scratches far more easily. It also can't be polished. What's worse, titanium does not transfer heat as "readily" as steel. While this is a great trait for a watch (a titanium watch doesn't feel as cold against your wrist as a steel watch when you first put it on), you WANT the case to radiate as much heat as possible. Hence, aluminum cases do a little better than steel, and acrylic cases suck for thermal management.
Still, neato case. I like the 3.5" front I/O module, I could use one for another black case I might have :) Reply

Silver Sparrow in the MediaJuly 8, 2011 • No Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog, Promotions
Tayari Jones's new novel Silver Sparrow has been garnering rave reviews from critics and fellow writers alike. Jennifer Weiner, best selling author of In Her Shoes, called it "an amazing, amazing read" yesterday on NBC's "Today Show." We couldn't agree more. Check out some of Silver Sparrow's recent media love, and be sure to read the excerpt at the bottom of the page.
- Watch The Today Show's segment on the best Summer Beach Reads, as chosen by authors Jennifer Weiner and Harlan Coben. Silver Sparrow was the first book they recommended.
- Listen to Wednesday's "Diane Rehm Show" to hear Diane Rehm's hour long interview with Tayari.
- "Weekend Edition Saturday" recommended Silver Sparrow as one of seven books for summer reading.
- And don't miss these great interviews with Tayari Jones on The Root, Jacket Copy, and Bookslut.
Praise for Silver Sparrow:
"Silver Sparrow, her third novel, is an astonishing leap forward . . . It's Jones' talent for these two voices, so vulnerable and deep-hearted, and for plot . . . that makes her novel impossible to put down until you find out how these sisters will discover their own versions of family." —Los Angeles Times
"Populating this absorbing novel is a vivid cast of characters, each with his own story… Jones writes dialogue that is realistic and sparkling, with an intuitive sense of how much to reveal and when…thus laying the groundwork for one of literature's most intriguing extended families." –Anita Shreve, The Washington Post
"A love story … full of perverse wisdom and proud joy … Jones's skill for wry understatement never wavers." —O, The Oprah Magazine
"Tayari Jones's immensely pleasurable new novel pulls off a minor miracle … Subtly exploring the power of labels … Jones crafts an affecting tale about things, big and small, we forfeit to forge a family. There are no winners in this empathetic and provocative story, only survivors."—MORE Magazine
"Charting a vast emotional unknown is Tayari Jones's compelling third novel, Silver Sparrow, in which a teenage girl's coming of age in 1990s Atlanta is shadowed by her dawning understanding of a corrosive secret – her father's second family." —Vogue
"If your mom is a fan of emotionally charged morality tales (and whose mom isn't?), she's going to devour Tayari Jones's third novel, Silver Sparrow, in a single sitting. Jones, a native Atlantan, once again mines her town for material and strikes serious pay dirt." —Essence
"Award winner Tayari Jones weaves a tale of Black bigamy and two families in the fascinating fiction of Silver Sparrow."— Ebony

tyft86 - Tuesday, January 21, 2014 - linkWhen are we going to see some reviews of the new AC routers hitting shelves? eg: Netgear Nighthawk, Asus AC68U? Reply
althaz - Tuesday, January 21, 2014 - linkThis! I need a new router, but it's kinda hard to decide which one to get. Reply
Mayuyu - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkTry SmallNetBuilder. They're the standard in wireless reviews. Reply
nathanddrews - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkI second this. To answer the OP, the Nighthawk is the clear winner on performance by a wide margin.

juhatus - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkAnd looking at the 1star comments on amazon, wait for Netgear to fix firmware before buying..?
In the mean while I'd rather recommend Asus RT-ac68u, been good so far.. on stock firmware. Reply
Maltz - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkI've had a Netgear router... I'll pass. The hardware was great, but the firmware was atrocious. And remained so for over two years after the model first shipped. I finally gave up waiting and got an ASUS. I've been very happy with it. Reply
stunta - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI have been using the Nighthawk for a couple of months now. No firmware issues. Best domestic router on the market IMO. Deserves an AT review. Reply
coolhardware - Monday, January 27, 2014 - linkI had WiFi connection issues with the Nighthawk, specifically some of my devices would connect at much lower speeds than with other routers (we're talking 54mbs vs. 300mbs). I had very high hopes for SAMBA after reading the smallnetbuilder review, bit alas SAMBA would flake out during transfers involving many small files. I found the traffic reporting feature to be subpar compared to other manufacturers and that is an important feature for me (as I have a monthly GB transfer limit). The final nail in the coffin was that even general web usage (on my admittedly slow connection) was subpar compared to my previous router. Thus the Nighthawk* was returned to Amazon and I reverted to my trusty last-gen ASUS router.
*I could handle these quirks/bugs on a cheap router but not a high-end one. Reply
kmmatney - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - linkI have the NightHawk as well. I haven't had any WiFi dropouts,and it has been generally stable. To be honest I haven't really noticed much of a performance gain over my old $25 refurbished WNR2000, although it does seem to handle more connections (I have about 20 devices in the house) and has a stronger signal. I don't have any AC drevices yet, so I guess I shouldn't expect any improvement. I think most of the problems with the NightHawk have been more of the advanced features (like USB storage) that I don't use, but do want to try eventually. The problem with reviews is that they normally test things in a controlled environment, and not with 20 random devices, all at different speeds, connected to it. It will have to last me a long time to make it worth the money. For now, the only real benefit for me is the strong signal - much stronger than my old router. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, January 24, 2014 - linkThat table looks like it would be a great reference if I intended to use a stock firmware; but since I'd be flashing my new router to DD-WRT as soon as I was confident it didn't have an out of the box problem that'd require a warranty claim, it falls well short of what I need. Reply
kmmatney - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - linkAs a NightHawk owner, I really wouldn't call it a clear winner. You'd hardly notice the difference between it and the second place router that is $50 cheaper, or even the $84 D-link AC1200. I haven't had many stability issues with the NightHawk, but I'm not sure it's worth the money. Reply
B3an - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkI wish AT would get some new people on board so there can be more (detailed) reviews. Reply
msahni - Tuesday, January 21, 2014 - linkHI there
what happened to the ASUS RT-AC87U and what about the AMPED AC1900 RTA30.
Come on guys we don't expect ANANDTECH to give us yesterdays news tomorrow ..... Reply
tyft86 - Tuesday, January 21, 2014 - linkDon't worry I'm still waiting for the MacBook Pro Retina 2013 review...it's now 2014! Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkI'm waiting for 802.11ac-2013 which should give 7Gbps on 5Ghz, and at least 1Gbps for 2.4 Ghz. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkJust defined standard probably means we're at least a year away from seeing products that support 11ac-2013 (shouldn't it be 2014 now?), but it's definitely cool sounding. Even if you can only get 1/3 the promised bandwidth, the ability to do over 2Gbps of real throughput over WiFi would be awesome. The problem is, to get 7Gbps you need 160MHz channels and eight streams; we're still waiting for retail four-stream implementations, and most are still topping out at 80MHz channels, plus 160MHz means you're carving out a huge portion of the spectrum so you'd need to be free from other 5GHz network interference to get it to work. Some day, though, I'll be able to finally rid myself of my last Gigabit Ethernet cables. Maybe. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkBetter wait for 802.11ac-2013 that will give at least 1 Gbps for 2.4Ghz and a whooping 7Gbps for 5Ghz.

1andrew - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkI thought AC was supposed to be 5 GHz only. I live in a complex and I can see about 15 2.4 GHz access points and I'm the only one on 5 GHz. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - link11ac is 5GHz only, but it's also backwards compatible with 11n/11g so you also get 2.4GHz support. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkYeah, that's what I thought. I understand there isn't enough spectrum for larger 2.4g channels and 2.4 is too noisy for a higher level of QAM to be effective; but I kinda wish MU-MIMO was backported to the 2.4ghz part of the router. Being able to send streams to several legacy devices at once would be a nice improvement for on legacy devices. Reply
azazel1024 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkUhhh did I miss something here? I was unaware that any of the AC1900 routers were 4 stream 2.4GHz capable. To the best of my knowledge, they all use "Turbo QAM" in the 2.4GHz space, which is effectively an extension of 802.11n allowing a 256 character QAM encoding scheme to increase per stream speed to 200Mbps from 150Mbps on 40MHz. Normally 802.11n uses 64 character QAM.
So I think that the intial opening describing the router is incorrect. Reply
azazel1024 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkAlso ditching your GbE cables is probably a pipe dream. Clients are going to be rare that have that many antennas, ignoring the bandwidth bit.
I think where 7GHz capable 802.11ac is going to come in is MU-MIMO. Have 4 867Mbps clients...great, each one can get 2 antennas dedicated to it and you can actually utilize most of that 8 stream bandwidth that the router/AP has in store.
Its a rare laptop that has more than 2 antennas in it and smaller devices are not even that common that have 2 antennas in them.
I doubt we'll see more than 2 antennas in anything smaller than a tablet and frankly I think more than 2 in a tablet is also going to be rare. Just isn't that much real estate.
If you were thinking of doing more than 2 antennas anyway, you'd probably be served going with two BIGGER antennas in the client device than you would be with trying to cram a 3rd antenna in there (at least for most applications).
Even if you were bridging and could bring to bear that >5Gbps of theoretical bandwidth, being 5GHz, in the same room you might hit 3Gbps, downhill with a tail wind. You'd probably hit 1Gbps two rooms over and dropping further from there. The wider the used bandwidth, the lower the long range performance is (in 2.4GHz, at high attenuation/range, 20MHz provides both better throughput and longer range than 40MHz does. In 5GHz the same principle applies. So 802.11ac at 20Mhz has better range and performance at long ranges than 802.11ac does at 80MHz and I imagine more so with 160MHz).
Beyond that, by the time anyone is seriously consider AC7000 routers, I'd imagine 10GbE copper is going to be reaching at least enthusiast pricing levels, if not exactly current GbE pricing and adoption.
My 10GbE wire speeds will crush your theoretical AC7000 wireless speeds :-P Reply
trivor - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkStay away from Netgear - I bought (at the time) the highest end dual band (WNDR 3700) and had nothing but problems with it - dropping connections, rebooting the router 1-2 times/week. I replaced it with an ASUS RT56u and it has been superb - especially in comparison to the Netgear. Netgear has lost my business for good. Reply
coolhardware - Monday, January 27, 2014 - linkTrivor, I had the same bad experience with Netgear and I reverted to my old trusty ASUS :-) Reply
tygrus - Saturday, January 25, 2014 - linkThe problems are: the reduction in available bandwidth dependant on location (country regs and local interference); real world installation is affected by many neighbours using the same frequencies for wireless or wanting overlapping reception between routers for coverage of a larger premises; even with a promised 300Mbps I get 10% usable with a 30Mbps / 3MBps transfers. Reply
richard1941 - Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - linkHigh gain antenna? What is the gain, in dbi? When they talk about a high gain antenna, I envision a dish or a yagi that must be pointed at the target. This maximizes the signal in the desired direction, while reducing the interfering signals in other directions. That is what you need to access a distant WiFi, like the McDonalds that is about 200 yards from me.
There is a relation between gain and beam width that is based on the physics law of conservation of energy. It is preposterous to call the antennas shown here as "high gain".
Note that the FCC has specific rules related to high gain antennas. However, even with the required power reductions, the range can be greatly extended. Reply

Heart-Shaped River: Craig Childs finds his center in Canyonlands
"Not all maps are made of paper. The best ones are spooled in memory."
The best place to start is where the river makes its first delicate incision into the stony lands south of Green River, Utah. Downstream of teapot-shaped Dellenbaugh Butte, thicker sandstones rear up from the ground, and Canyonlands begins.
This is where I began, too, in the 1980s, a scrawny kid in his late teens working for a fly-by-night canoe outfit. My mom was dating the owner, which is how I got the job running trips around the Intermountain West on the North Platte, Yampa, Gunnison and Colorado rivers. I was supposed to convince clients I knew what I was doing even though I had never seen most of these rivers before. When a 10-person trip on the Green River into Utah's Canyonlands came up, some of it through Canyonlands National Park, some through surrounding Bureau of Land Management holdings, my mom's boyfriend put me on it.
The Green River is born far north of here in the Wind River Range of Wyoming, and briefly halts at the sediment trap of Flaming Gorge Dam. South of I-70 in Utah, it carves into an arid warren of sandstone canyons. Eventually, it meets the Colorado River, and their confluence forms a V in the center of Canyonlands, drawing a perfect tail of a heart.
I'd never seen anything like it. The clients raged at me for forgetting to bring coffee. What did it matter? I was falling in love.
Growing up, I had preferred the edges of the playground to the mania of foursquare and tetherball. I was a reflective only child, and human interactions and relationships seemed too fleeting to count on. Maybe it was because we moved so often, back and forth between Arizona and Colorado. But rocks and dirt -- and the landscapes they built -- were something I could depend on. They offered a sense of permanence and stability, even though in the scale of geologic time, I knew they were anything but. The Southern Rockies and their descending layers of desert were burned into my head. Now, I carried this connection a step farther, following the placid, mud-swirled Green deeper into this eroded country.
One day, I hiked up a side canyon with my clients. We weren't on a trail, and for all I knew, we were heading straight into a dead end. But through notches and over boulder-aprons, the sandstone kept opening and opening again. We could see into tower-capped canyons and alcoves. There were a few maidenhair fern-draped seeps, but everything else was nearly naked of vegetation and painted in dazzling shades of red. I began jogging. The clients shouted at me, and I called for them to follow. I ran faster, scrambled higher, and finally reached the top of a knoll that felt like the center of an enormous compass.
The few clients who hadn't turned back caught up with me, out of breath and smiling. Where were we? they wondered. What had we come to see?
I waved my arm across the arterial mass of buttes and canyons all around us. "We're here," I said. "We've found it!"
Not all maps are made of paper. The best ones are spooled in memory, better served by songs and stories than by something that lays flat in a drawer or glows on a computer screen. The map that I've been making -- as diligently as a monk in a stone scriptorium -- is of Canyonlands. The national park takes up 337,570 acres, surrounded by a hefty perimeter of 1.4 million acres of BLM known as Greater Canyonlands. It lies west of Moab, south of the Book Cliffs, east of the San Rafael Swell, and north of Lake Powell.
At first, I carried topographic maps of the region. Folded with corners soft as cotton, I kept them stuffed in my pack. At home, I pored over them, covered floors with them, my imagination tracking their possibilities.
By the time I graduated from college, I traveled to Canyonlands often, running half-naked through slickrock fins, returning July, October, January. I wanted to understand the place. I counted ants and shadows, summering in caves, waiting for the intense and odorless heat to die before venturing farther. On the river, both the Green and Colorado, I went alone and drifted on my back, a bowline tied to me so my boat and I would not float apart. Canyon walls opened and closed gently, big blocks of 500-foot-tall sandstone cleaved like chunks of cherry-red chocolate. When I shouted, my echoes came back like snowflakes, never the same.
As I entered my 30s, my obsession grew. I couldn't get enough, going out for weeks. My friends were those who did the same. The dotted lines that defined borders and trails meant nothing to us. We did not recognize where national park became BLM. What we saw was an interlocking network of contours and notches and climbs and ways to slip through.
We had our own place names. Dead Guy is what we called one route, after a complete human skeleton in a natural rock shelter near the top of a steep, boulder-filled drainage. Bereft of skin or fabric, its bones were half-buried in dust. The person had either died or been interred there centuries earlier. We didn't mess with the skeleton or mark it on a topo with an X. It was a mental juncture for us, a reference. We'd say, Let's meet at the Dead Guy.

Oh Rachel Pally…you just don't know what you're doing to me. I'm sitting here waiting until I hear those magic words "Sample Sale." Then I can head over and grab one of you creations below from your White Label. You're warehouse is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. I love living in L.A.
If you don't know, the Rachel Pally's White Label is made exclusively for sizes 1X, 2X, and 3X. But, beware these sizes "can" be a little generous. I think that's because her designs are meant to be chic and comfy at the same time. Imagine that…looking fab and feeling fab at the same time! And what I love about them is how wonderful the material feels on your skin. Yummy!
Take look below at some of my White Label favorites! I'm especially loving the Misha Dress!!
Which one do you love?

My, my, may I just say what a busy November it was. It's probably one of the fastest months for me this year… now I'm seeing December around the corner. Events were back to back this month, with Photoshop World being the biggest and the one that took up most of my time even a few weeks before November.
Lucky Singapore and Malaysia, they had an awesome day filled with Photoshop CS3 showcases. You can imagine what happens to a room filled with over a thousand people, and one thing is common: They are Photoshop fanatics. The challenge to make a wonderful, feature-packed, engaging day lies on us, the presenters.
How do you pick and choose what to show in a day when it comes to Photoshop? Definitely appropriate to borrow one of Oprah's quotes (and forgive me if you've seen this before… it could be my favorite): "There's so much to talk about".
I am elated to have worked with Julieanne Kost, a psychology graduate, a photographer, an artist, and most of all a Photoshop Geek at heart. I would have posted up a photo of us together if I had one… but we had so much fun, it never occured to me. But the next time I meet her I will definitely take that photo 🙂 Singapore definitely enjoyed Julieanne's company and I myself have picked up a lot of nifty little bits of info regarding Photoshop. Like, I didn't know there was a difference between the feather command in Refine Edge as to the feather command under the Select Menu! And did you know that using the perspective crop is better than the perspective distort (it might not be visually obvious, but when we get into the nitty gritty of the mathematical pixel stretching and squishing… hah!).
More about Julieanne here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2445 and http://http://www.photoshophalloffame.com/winners/jkost.html
Kuala Lumpur had the chance to host Michael Stoddart from Sydney Australia. Not only is he a very talented presenter, He is also Adobe Asia Pacific's Senior Sales Manager. Catch a glimpse of the not-so-serious Michael on a flicker page. The fun, the jokes, the laughs… there is definitely more to Photoshop than just shortcuts and magic eraser…
Here I found some blogs about how the event went, and I'm happy that the attendees found value and enjoyed the day: http://iansalang.blogspot.com/2007/11/adobe-conference-asia-pacific-dont-play.html
After Photoshop World, I need to hit the ground running (again!) and prep for a 45 minute presentation to a group of enthusiast who proudly call themselves the FSUG (Flash Singapore User Group). What to present? Juicy stuff from the Max. See some more detail here… http://http://arulprasad.blogspot.com/
To close my November off… I had to deliver an Acrobat 3D version 8 for Manufacturing in our cozy and freezing PageMaker room…
And maybe some November rain too.
Man, am I so looking forward to December!

A WEALTHY businessman who beat up two bar workers has avoided jail after agreeing to pay £4,700 compenstation.
Wojciech Zawodny, who earns £7,000 a week as a survelliance expert in Dubai, was on a drinking binge with his cousin in Colchester town centre when trouble erupted.
Simon Peacey, bar manager at Fashion Cafe, in Queen Street, refused to serve him because he was too drunk and asked him to leave.
Zawodny, 32, attacked Mr Peacey, throwing him against the bar and on to the floor. He sustained a broken hand.
When barmaid Laura Harris tried to intervene, Zawodny punched her in the chest.
Security staff from a nearby bar were called and ejected Zawodny, who was arrested shortly after the incident at 11.30pm on Sunday.
Zawodny admitted one count of grievous bodily harm and one charge of common assault when he appeared at Colchester Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Magistrates said the assault was so serious, it crossed the custody threshold.
They considered sending Zawodny to Chelmsford Crown Court for sentencing.
During their deliberations, James O'Toole, representing Zawodny, said his client earns £7,000 week as a director in Dubai and wanted to be dealt with quickly so he could return to work in Dubai.
He said: "He would be in a better position than most to pay substantial compensation."
Zawodny was ordered to pay Mr Peacey £4,400 and Miss Harris £300. He was also given a sixmonth prison sentence, suspended for a year.
Mr O'Toole said Zawodny was disgusted, appalled and ashamed by his behaviour.
It is understood magistrates dealt with Zawodny's offence as the least serious type of grievous bodily harm.
If they had treated it as a more serious category, he almost certainly would have been jailed.
Speaking after the hearing, Mr Peacey, 49, from Colchester, said the magistrates' decision has sent out the wrong message.
He added: ""The way I look at it, if he didn't have all that money, what would have happened?
"I don't think that is the way the case should have been dealt with."
He added: "Everyone is saying 'it's good you've got the money' but if he's done this, he could go round any bar and do that.
"Does this mean if he has got money, he will be able to get away with it?
"It's our job not to serve people who are too drunk - I asked him nicely and he just picked me up."
Colchester MP Sir Bob Russell added a person's income should not determine the outcome of a court case.
He said: "The law is there to provide equality for all who come before the courts and the size of somebody's wallet should not be a consideration by the magistrates as to whether they deal with that case at the local court or send the person to crown court to be sentenced.
"This is not Monopoly where you get a 'Get out of jail' card from the community chest."
Sir Bob has pledged to bring The Gazette's story to the attention Justice Secretary Chris Grayling.
A spokesman for Digital Barriers Middle East, where Zawodny works as a director, said: "I can confirm that we have only become aware of the incident very recently and are currently undertaking our own enquiries into the circumstances."
A Sentencing Council spokeswoman said: "We do not comment on individual cases.
"The magistrates in the case, who were in possession of the full facts of the case, decided their sentencing powers were sufficient and retained jurisdiction.
"The courts are required by statute to consider whether to make a compensation order in every case."

Quote:I suppose... as...as an outsider can you understand my severe reluctance to consider that kind of activity even remotely "bright" in a sense? No disrespect to Mr Parker or anyone else, but it strikes me (forgive the unintended pun) as foolish to in such a blase manner disregard someones powers by letting them strike that way, even merely once. I have too much respect for their ~potency~ so to speak... a fundamental act of core self-protection if you will.
Quote:In a parallel manner I would not allow some clown with a live bladed sword to chop watermelon off my belly, kick vegetables out of my mouth, etc. Different presentations but the same type of "unnecessary", avoidable danger.
