The techniques of this age are very delicate; they work into the subconscious. Nothing is done by crude tactics. We must be cautious about this point while analyzing the hypocrites of this age, for the internet, books, and writings that are available to them. They can reach all over the world, and they can get into contact with many people at the same time.
According to satan, crime and rationale are totally different. Satan thinks he is very rational. Satan, for instance, introduces himself in a very honest way. He says, "I fear Allah." As if he is not the one that has engaged in wickedness. Satan engages in so much irrationality. For instance (Surely Allah is beyond this) he is of the conviction that Allah is irrational and he is rational. He puts forward, in his own way a rationale and claims, "All people are abnormal. The only one who is good is me. I will prove this if You grant me some time." All right, you dog, wouldn't you abide by Allah rather than engaging that wickedness? Wouldn't you obey Allah straightforwardly, prostrate to Adam and live like a Muslim? He has a very complicated system. He has his own morality, and a rationale of his own. Someone who looks at satan may not understand. Satan says, "I fear Allah". When one considers very carefully, he can prevent the damage satan makes. It is a very violent existence. An unbeliever is out in the open, for instance. But a hypocrite is wicked and he employs an enormous array of reasoning.
A hypocrite thinks that all the news and talk is against him. You say, "Dog" and he says, "Do you call me?" You say, "You reptile" and he says, "Do you call me?" Is your name "dog", why do you take offence? In the Qur'an, Allah says, "They fear that a surah against them will be revealed." The fact is that, surahs are general. Names of hypocrites are not mentioned in the surahs.
We can see examples of this in life everywhere. Sincere and honest people read the verses about hypocrites and take lessons from them. But when a hypocrite reads them, he does not accept them. But he understands that they address him. A Muslim does not accept that the address is to him but he takes refuge in Allah and strives not to be so. If he really sees such behavior in himself, he immediately corrects himself. But a hypocrite sinks into mud.
A hypocrite is very meticulous. He takes the related part of the Qur'an and the hadith, while accusing Muslims, he finds parts according to his own distorted rationale, and shows it as evidence. While accusing our Prophet (saas), they were very much disturbed by the love he had towards women. If you look at atheist websites, you can see this clearly. How great that he was a man of love, a man of passion. He had very much respect for women. He attached importance to them, how nice. But he was very determined against hypocrites.
Unbelievers tell their disbelief out in the open; they are not insidious. But hypocrites are different. They do everything secretly. They are most sensitive about the Qur'an's dominance over the world. While satan's dominance is in question, can they ever say, "Let Islam reign over." A hypocrite is tortured, and unable to make that statement. He can mention anything; the benefits of prayer, fasting but he cannot talk about the merits of the dominance of Islam.
…They imagine every cry to be against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah fight them! How they are perverted! (63/4)
They imagine every cry to be against them: we say "Dishonorable man", and the hypocrite takes offense. "Why do you say that to me?" He says. We say, "We tell it to hypocrites." He says, "You told it to me." How do you know? Do we give any names? But every time they take offense. While I am saying this right now, 20-30 hypocrites get excited and say to themselves, "Why do you tell this to me"
They are the enemy: they are the enemies of Allah, our Prophet (saas), Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Islamic Union. But when we say enemies, they are not seen in the open; they look like sheep since they wear the fur of a sheep. But they show their teeth like a fox.
So beware them: A Muslim avoids a hypocrite by knowing his character very well and analyzing it. Hypocrites are the most wicked movement because they work under the full veil of Islam. Their secrecy is very powerful. That is why they need to be identified carefully. They lived among the
Companions of our Prophet (saas), they prayed together with them and look like real Muslims having fear of Allah. They can only be distinguished in their hypocrisy by way of Speech. One cannot say, "they are the hypocrites," however they can be figured out.
When you see them, their outward form appeals to you, and if they speak you listen to what they say. But they are like propped-up planks of wood.
Allah says, "You can understand them from the way they speak". But in another verse it is told: "…if they speak you listen to what they say…". What is meant here is that; when Muslims pay attention to the way they talk, they can discern the perversion in their speeches. It is not easy to notice them; the wisdom of a saint, or a very profound wisdom is needed. Allah tells this to our Prophet (saas). Not everyone can understand them. The master of this is Hazrat Mahdi (as). The hypocrites of the End Times are more intense because there are more details. Hypocrites play with reason and that reason becomes trouble for them.
A hypocrite has many advantages. Unbelievers, and unfaithful people take sides with them. Satan inspires in their brains. That is why they are talented in speaking. They employ a grand rationale. This has to be found out. The master of this is Hazrat Mahdi (as); he will see all the details about being a hypocrite.
A hypocrite does not provide crude signs of his hypocrisy. When he is caught, he gains experience, he changes colors like a chameleon. He takes another form when he is told: "This is a sign of hypocrisy." But while running away from there, he cannot avoid showing his back, or neck. He is caught every time he tries to escape.
Only the Prophet Solomon (as) chained the satans and put them into his service. They worked like donkeys. Likewise Dhu'l-qarnayn (as) also accomplished this. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also do it. That is why today there is a struggle between the followers of satan and servants of Allah. Satan says, "I won't give dominance over the world" while Hazrat Mahdi (as) tells to satan: "I will break your horns."
There is nothing the government can do about Darwinism. The government has its own agenda. They make Darwinism propaganda out in the open in the TRT (the government's television channel). Have you ever heard in any broadcasting channel of the government where Creation is being communicated? You will never hear that. Have you ever heard people on any broadcasting channel of the government telling that there is no transitional fossil, as evolutionists suggest? You can never hear that. We have put Bilim Teknik (a scientific journal of Darwinists) into a position that they can no longer make evolution propaganda.
Mr. Erdogan is a son of an ordinary Muslim. What does a rational person desire? He desires freedom. He wants to stop a criminal organization [the alleged Ergenekon Organization] desiring to shed blood.
What else can a man ask for if he goes to Allah's Presence after he is being put on trial here, engaging in good deeds that will please Allah? People want to be attached to this world. But there is nothing to cling to in this world. Allah created this world with many deficiencies. For instance in order to look normal a woman needs to take care for herself in a very detailed fashion. Allah created the life with many difficulties. For instance one is obliged to sleep. The world is not a place to be madly attached to. We are responsible to have a more profound, rational outlook. Death is a mercy and beauty for a believer. But of course a believer prays Allah for a long life so that he can serve Islam. It is a blessing to pass away after giving long services to Islam. But if Allah gives a short life, it is also a blessing.
(About the news appearing in the press that people practiced cannibalism in ancient times) They are so ignorant. Until recently people in Vietnam, Cambodia were communists and they ate human liver, human brain. In the films they made, these are shown very clearly. This means that the communist mindset, barbaric mindset existed in all times. In all ages there existed both irreligious, communist people and faithful believers. Why do you not mention the believers that existed then? Until recently people in Africa were cannibals. A believer does not do that; he leads a beautiful, clean life. At those times there were also pure people; there is a sewing-needle dating back to 30-40 thousand years. A flute of 35 thousand years. 30 thousand years ago there were maniacs eating human flesh as well as people who fried delicious lamb and ate it.
Our Prophet's (saas) love for women troubled them a lot. When our mother Zaynab saw our Prophet (saas), she felt love in her heart towards him and she wanted to marry him. Our Prophet (saas) also wanted to marry her. Indeed Allah says, "she was already in your heart." Our Prophet (as) was refraining from the fitnah of the hypocrites of the time. Zaynab divorced and married our Prophet (saas). She was a very smart person. A prophet comes once in a lifetime; if she wants to use this right what is wrong with this? Some people are embarrassed of it; I, on the other hand, am proud of it.
Stephan Hawking is a poor man; his body, brain, soul have collapsed. One can no longer get sound information from him. We need to feel compassion for a person who has lost his health; if he says so, this is not our concern. He is in a wretched situation out of poor health. They say that he has written so. How can we know that? He is a man who cannot move a limb. And what would be the difference if he were robust? There are lots of irreligious, faithless professors. We roll-up what they write and cram them in their ears. We cannot expect someone in such a wretched situation to provide sound information.

So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. For they tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for men to see: (Matthew 23:1-5)
Marriage, food, comfortable life are important for a hypocrite. He says, "I will fulfill my daily prayers if you want me to." He says, "I can also fast." But the dominance of Islam, striving for this end does not concern him. He says, "Don't ask this from me." He pays alms, and performs his daily prayers. Poor Muslims are not his concern. Unity of Islam is not his concern. Suffering Muslims is not his concern. He lives to make trade, have a comfortable family life. He wants to live in a risk-free world. But when we look at our Prophet's (saas) life, we see risks, hardships, and struggles.
Do you make the giving of water to the pilgrims and looking after the Masjid al-Haram the same as having faith in Allah and the Last Day and striving in the Way of Allah? They are not equal in the Sight of Allah. Allah does not guide wrongdoing people. (Surat at-Tawba, 19)
A hypocrite does everything; he distributes water, performs his prayers and everything. The sole thing he does not want is the dominance of Islam. We see this in all hypocrites and idolaters.
All idolaters and hypocrites have enmity for women. They do not see women as beautiful and aesthetical beings. They feel disturbed of women's existence. They are perverts. They even consider baby girls as potential threats to their honor and bury them alive in the soil.
Those verses mentioning unbelievers also mention hypocrites. But not all attributes of hypocrites refer to unbelievers. For instance a hypocrite is insincere but an unbeliever is outspoken. He is not insidious. He is out in the open. A hypocrite is like a floating mine; he leaves a believer and becomes trouble for another believer. He definitely finds a pretext to oppose Muslims. When you ask what he dislikes in a believer, it is no bigger than a grain. And that is because he simply does not understand. If he understood, it would be different. Meanwhile he takes refuge in the mess of a swine. He resides right in the middle of it. He tries to show the believers' one gram of error as an excuse even though no such error exists. And in order to run away from the believers, he then enters into a ton of mess. He goes to work and sits among the unbelievers. He becomes very close to them. , He goes right where he finds benefits and money with his eyes closed.
The hypocrites of the Masjid al-Zeraar [during our Prophet' (saas) time] made an enormous masjid. The masjid of Muslims, on the other hand, was a modest one. They put tremendous effort. They claimed that they were disturbed by Muslims in some ways but their masjid was a perfect one. Let's say that our Prophet (saas) and his companions troubled you. Thus why did you go and join unbelievers, faithless people? What does the Prophet (saas) do to you? They envied our Prophet's (saas) strength, might and health. They were sterile men; their brains, souls were sterile. Muslims, on the other hand, were people of beauty and might. They were jealous of our Prophet's (saas) beauty and might. When they were asked to strive on Allah's path, they immediately left the masjid for home. They claim that they will watch over their parents or relatives. The truth is, they have benefits there. They never go there if they did not have any interests. [For example,] why would a tick go and stick to the most filthy part of a swine if there was no blood? Does a tick admire a flower, a palace? There is no blood there. The blood of swine, that is what a tick likes. And when asked, he says it is obligatory. How is it obligatory to construct another masjid? Our Prophet (saas) demolished the Masjid of al-Zeraar. Our Prophet (saas) was addressing everyone [during a speech] but they [the hypocrites] were shaking in their shoes. They all thought that they were the only ones being addressed.
A person may be beautiful but what would she do if there were no one to admire that beauty? That beauty should definitely be appreciated. Otherwise that beauty remains desolate. There should be someone who appreciates the beauty in its true sense. Not in a mean and vulgar fashion. Acknowledging that it is a manifestation of Allah, and with love of Allah. A flower is beautiful but what happens if that flower is not seen by anyone? That flower remains there. Allah creates beauty but He also creates the one who appreciates it. One could see beauty but be unable to appreciate it. He can only technically say it is beautiful but never take any pleasure from it.
Every piece of news regarding the spread of Islam is like the impact of a bullet in a hypocrite's brain. An unbeliever feels disturbed but a hypocrite is terrified of Islam's dominance. A hypocrite has made a promise to satan. He says, " I will be like you." Not being like satan makes him feel terrified.
Cohens are the descendants of the Prophet David (as). Hazrat Ali (ra) is also the descendant of the Prophet David (as). Hazrat Mahdi (as) , is a descendant of the Prophet David (as). In this sense, the real Cohen is, in fact, Hazrat Mahdi (as). Allah will grant the responsibility of the Prophet Solomon's (as) masjid to Hazrat Mahdi (as). The Israeli people will be true Jews. Then they will also abide by the genuine Torah. They will practice the real commandments of the Torah. Then, they will also see the real Torah commandments by the light of faith.
The Qur'an has made life simple. Allah unchained the loads of Jews by the Qur'an. Many Jews neglect to abide by the commandments in the Torah. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will show them the pure and true Torah. The pure and real Torah is in the Qur'an. Then they will see that they cannot be genuine followers of the Prophet Moses (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as) without being a follower of our Prophet (saas). For this reason when Hazrat Mahdi (as) comes, he will command Jews with the original Torah and Christians with the original Gospel. The original is within the Qur'an. When its original is found, we shall again see that it is in compliance with the Qur'an. When we look at the Gospel of Barnabas, it is seen that its commandments are in compliance with the Qur'an. When we look at the other lost and burned Gospels, we see that their commandments comply with the Qur'an.
People from my Ahl al-Bayt will definitely face trouble, be abducted and exiled after me. After me my Ahl al-Bayt will meet trouble and hardship…. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 14)
While telling this, our Prophet's (saas) face became pale. That is what the narrators tell. His face became pale because he knew that he was Hazrat Mahdi (as). Our Prophet (saas) is full of love.
His face blushes when he feels disturbed about something.
In the hadith it is said that there will be controversy about Hazrat Mahdi (as) just as there are conflicts about Jesus (as). What is the controversy that has been going on for 2000 years about Jesus (as)? Will he come or not? That has been discussed for 2000 years. Allah says," He will descend"; some people say, "He will not descend." Hazrat Mahdi (as) has come. What will you do right now? You were saying that he would not come and the portents would not appear. You were saying that those portents were superstitions. Have all of the 150 portents appeared? Are you trembling because of the severity of the portents? So they are true. Whether you want it or not you serve him. Our Prophet (saas) said that they would make controversy about Hazrat Mahdi (as) just as they do it for Jesus (as). Some Muslims say, "Jesus (as) will come, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come. Some say, "Jesus (as) will come but Hazrat Mahdi (as) won't come. Our Prophet (saas) said, "Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear at a time when they lose all hope."
The Prophet Jesus (as) is alive and currently active. Khidr (as) is on duty at related places. Khidr (as) wants the Islamic Unity. Why? Because it is a command of Allah. Satan's army flops down on the ones who support and announce the good news of Hazrat Mahdi (as) At the same time, the ignorant people are in a state of collapse.
We said, "We will demolish Darwinism." They asked, "How will you demolish it worldwide?" "They have tens of thousands of men, tens of thousands of professors. They have radio stations, televisions, millions of followers. You are a person in Istanbul. And there are a handful of young people around you. How will you accomplish it?" But I scientifically destroyed Darwinism. Why can you no longer say it? Find a transitional fossil, a missing link. Those missing links have been a great trouble to them. They have been pounded to death. They show a so-called missing link, and I pound them with science. They show another one and I pound them again in the scientific sense. It is prohibited not to tell the truth. They will tell the truth.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a person who fears Allah very much. He fears no one but Allah. While he fears Allah, how can he claim to be Hazrat Mahdi (as)? Why should he fear if he is sure that he will enter paradise? This is another sub-proof showing that he will not claim to be Hazrat Mahdi (as).
Hazrat Ali (ra) says, "Hazrat Mahdi's (as) birthplace is a big city". A city. Any big city because the Companions of our Prophet (saas) said that when our Prophet (saas) mentioned "a city" they asked which city it is. Why would they ask if it were a fixed place? Our Prophet (saas) says, "Constantinople."

The second annual Lemonade Day Detroit will be held this year on June 9, 2012. Lemonade Day Detroit, sponsored by Huntington Bank, is for children in Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties. It is a free, annual, community-wide, educational initiative designed to teach children how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand, which will appear all over Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties, from neighborhoods to retail spaces and everything in between.
In 2011, 28 cities in 16 states, hosted Lemonade Day. At a time when Detroit's story is one of strength and resiliency, Lemonade Day Detroit continues that message by helping the youth of the community learn valuable skills and the positives of business, to help them become the next generation of leaders. As Michigan continues its rebirth, new industries and businesses will undoubtedly emerge. And those businesses will be imagined, formed and run by our young people. We're excited to bring Lemonade Day to Michigan as a means of helping the youth of the community learn valuable skills and the positives of business. We hope Lemonade Day Detroit will launch the careers of our future business leaders.
The goal of Lemonade Day is to give children of all socio-economic backgrounds, in all neighborhoods, the opportunity to learn about starting their own business – and learning how to make money to "spend a little, save a little and give a little". Kids of all ages learn to set goals, develop a plan, secure an investor, create a product, make a profit and give back to their community however they choose.
Started in 2007 by Houston philanthropist and local entrepreneur, Michael Holthouse, Lemonade Day has become a national event where children register for free backpacks filled with age-appropriate information on how to start and become successful running a business. Children who participated in Lemonade Day 2010 poured more than 5 million glasses of lemonade and gave $2 million plus to charities of their choice. The support of our businesses, service organizations and foundation for Lemonade Day Detroit ensures the program is free. Each child will register to receive a backpack filled with all the tools for them to plan and set up their lemonade stand. Last year, 2,600 little entrepreneurs across Southeast Michigan registered for Lemonade Day Detroit.
Huntington National Bank is the perfect presenting sponsor: The bank is helping Lemonade Day Detroit young entrepreneurs learn financial management. All 51 Huntington branches will serve as registration and backpack pickup locations.
Lemonade Day Detroit is sponsored by:

Rox blanked for second straight game by Wainwright
Rookie Arenado breaks up no-hitter with a single in the eighth inning
ST. LOUIS -- Rockies rookie Nolan Arenado said he wasn't thinking at all about history -- not the history that Adam Wainwright was seeking nor the dubious place in the record books that the Rockies seemed headed.
Wainwright was bidding for his first career no-hitter until Arenado lined a single to center field in the eighth inning of the Cardinals' 3-0 victory over the Rockies at Busch Stadium.
The Rockies managed two hits -- the other a Dexter Fowler ninth-inning single, which ended his 0-for-20 streak -- but lost for the fourth straight time, and served as foils for Cards pitchers flirting with history on both Friday and Saturday.
Wainwright was pushing for a perfect game until Helton's one-out walk in the fifth. The first 13 batters Wainwright retired combined with the 27 that Shelby Miller put down the previous night tied a Major League record -- 40 -- for hitters retired by one team against another, set by the 1996 Rangers against the Tigers.
Arenado's single ended a team run of 49 hitless at-bats. The next hurdle is scoring, something the Rockies haven't done in 26 innings. As the Rockies have lost five of their last six, Carlos Gonzalez is 3-for-22 with 10 strikeouts, Helton is 3-for-16, Arenado is 3-for-21, Fowler is 1-for-21, and the Rockies are 1-for-24 with runners in scoring position.
Wainwright's domination came a day after Cardinals rookie Miller gave up a first-inning leadoff single to the Rockies' Eric Young, then retired 27 straight while striking out 13 in a 3-0 victory. Had Wainwright completed the no-no, the Rockies would have joined the Astros of Sept. 14-15, 2008 -- the only team in history to manage just one hit over two games, when they were stymied by the Cubs.
"I was just trying to hit the ball hard," Arenado said. "We know he's pitching a great game, and we haven't been getting a lot of hits lately. We try not to think about, 'Let's get a hit here.'"
The Rockies risk slipping into the mindset of hoping for hits instead of figuring out how to win. With right-hander Jhoulys Chacin (3-2) loading the bases three times in five innings, but only allowing two runs, the Rockies were technically within reach, even though they didn't seem to have a chance against Wainwright.
The Rox insist their goal goes deeper than getting a measly hit here or there.
"Imagine if we're hitting, and we're in close games," Fowler said. "Imagine when we hit. We've got to be optimistic about that whole thing."
Say this about the Cardinals: they're good, especially on the mound. They lead the National League Central with the Majors' best record at 23-12. Miller lowered his ERA to 1.58 against the Rockies on Friday, and the Cards have another starter (whom the Rockies thankfully won't see) with a sub 2.00 in Jake Westbrook. The other three starters -- Wainwright, Jaime Garcia -- with whom the Rockies must contend Sunday in an attempt to avoid being swept -- and Lance Lynn are all below 3.00.
The Rockies demonstrated offensive talent during their 13-5 start. However, the hitting has been almost non-existent lately. They've won just one of their last six series, although the pitching has been decent for much of that time.
Maybe it's just a bad time to be in a funk. Wainwright is 5-1 with a 1.17 ERA in 10 appearances, including six starts, against the Rockies.
"Wainwright commanded everything," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It's a combination of things, us going a little cold and at the same time running into a couple of pitchers that weren't missing."
A savvy power pitcher, Wainwright used his cut fastball and didn't miss with his curveball. After watching Miller dominate with his fastball on Friday night, Wainwright had a standard to meet.
"I felt good. You follow Roger Clemens a couple times like I have been, it makes you focus a little bit more." Wainwright said, referring to Miller. "Those young guys are pushing me. I appreciate it."
The Cardinals also scored a run on three hits in 1 2/3 innings against Rockies lefty reliever Josh Outman.
Arenado's single came on a 1-0 pitch one batter after Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter slid on the outfield grass to rob Todd Helton of a hit.
"It's hard," Arenado said. "Obviously, it starts to get deflating. But this team is very resistant. This team is all about winning. Every inning, it was, 'Let's go and win this game.' It wasn't, 'Let's get a hit.'"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/1/2013 (1686 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In a slow-growing city finally feeling optimistic, "100 per cent private-sector-driven" is a badge of honour. Until recently, it was unusual to see a major development get by without a massive infusion of public funds.
Unfortunately, "100 per cent private-sector-driven" is just a label. Much like "100 per cent pure" strawberry jam that contains high-fructose corn syrup or "all-natural" bacon that still has some nitrates, claims about the absence of taxpayer help for major Winnipeg developments often fall short.
For example, there's no question Longboat Development Corp., assumed a tremendous risk in bankrolling the Centrepoint development, the $75-million-plus hotel, office and residential complex on the northwest corner of Portage Avenue and Donald Street. But claims of 100 per cent private-sector investment are inaccurate when $660,000 of city funds went into preserving the Mitchell-Copp Building's facade, a parkade is rising with the help of a low-interest, $5-million city loan and a city-provincial property-tax mechanism allows for area improvements.
Likewise, there's no question IKEA Canada and Fairweather Properties are leading the redevelopment of the former Tuxedo Yards. But the commercial development was made possible with the help of $22 million of infrastructure incentives.
Now, a new hotel planned to support the $200-million expansion of the Winnipeg Convention Centre has also been sold as 100 per cent private-sector-driven. The only problem: Downtown development agency CentreVenture, an arm's-length government agency, just spent $6.5 million acquiring land for the supposedly private-sector-driven hotel.
Last year, when the Winnipeg Convention Centre selected Stuart Olson Dominion to oversee its $200-million expansion, Dallas-based Matthews Southwest was supposed to build a hotel north of the convention centre at no cost to the public. But Matthews Southwest quit the project, leaving officials scrambling to find somebody to build the hotel, almost without a doubt on property recently purchased by CentreVenture.
In December, city council approved a line-of-credit increase for CentreVenture to help it acquire the Carlton Inn, which sits immediately north of the Winnipeg Convention Centre. CentreVenture previously purchased the Bell and St. Regis hotels as part of an effort to eliminate public-intoxication problem spots in downtown Winnipeg.
The Carlton Inn purchase appears to be in line with that mandate. As well, CentreVenture CEO Ross McGowan said he would like to see a mixed-use development rise on the Carlton Inn site, which sits in the middle of downtown's sports, hospitality and entertainment district.
"We are acquiring the Carlton Inn as a strategic development," said McGowan, denying the hotel purchase is part of the convention-centre expansion.
However, CentreVenture's funding request made explicit reference to the Carlton Inn purchase as serving the convention-centre expansion. The convention centre itself doesn't hide the fact its new hotel will almost certainly wind up on the Carlton Inn site.
"CentreVenture buying the land doesn't mean the hotel is public-sector-sponsored," insisted Klaus Lahr, the convention centre's general manager. "Just because they bought it, it doesn't mean anything other than they are the new owners."
It's unlikely the new hotel builder will require the entire Carlton Inn site, so CentreVenture could split the land into two parcels and potentially recoup the $6.5-million purchase price. But there is a risk it will not, as the entire land had an assessed value of only $1.9 million before the sale.
That means there is public-sector cash on the table to support the convention-centre expansion above and beyond existing commitments from three levels of government. That contribution disappears only when the hotel deal is done.
There is no question the redevelopment of the Carlton Inn property will be good for the convention centre, good for downtown and good for Longboat, which plans to develop the MPI-owned surface parking lot between the hotel and Cityplace mall.
But you can't call a construction project 100 per cent private-sector-driven when one government agency is buying the land on behalf of another government-funded, non-profit organization. In fact, it's unclear why CentreVenture had to help out the convention centre at all.

After we featured the new group Fort Worth Transgender Support on the cover of Dallas Voice, leaders with another Cowtown trans group, Trans-cendence, informed us it has started up again.
Chris Christian, the group's co-leader, said the group was inactive for some time due to busy schedules and leadership changes. Christian first heard about the group last year after it was started by two members in June. He started becoming more involved in March and recently created a new website.
Christian said he didn't know about Fort Worth Transgender Support, but he wants to collaborate with them on events and socials.
"The bigger the trans community is, the more support you have," Christian said.
Christian said he found the group helpful because some groups reacted negatively to him not starting his transition yet. And while GEAR at Resource Center Dallas welcomed him with open arms, he wanted a group closer to home. He said Trans-cendence accepts everyone under the gender umbrella from cross-dressers to trans and gender-queer people.
"We welcome everyone, even people who are questioning and don't know," he said.

leexgx - Thursday, November 04, 2004 - linkthe 939 AMD cpu will only be my upgrade path (unless i wait and some thing els comes out)
my NF7-S v2.0 mobo has 2x faster mem speed then an s754 so in my view it be an Downgrade if i whent to it
my upgrade (dream at the mo :)
MSI K8N Neo2 (waiting for the nForce4 ultra to comes out) or something like it (but nf4 chip)
3500+ 939 (mite even wait for the 4000+ or the FX55 to come down in price)
2x 512 ddr 400 OCZ low latency stuff (or other stuff that mite run better then OCZ) Reply
MiLaMber - Sunday, October 31, 2004 - linkHmm
Why on earth bring out this board for s754 NOW??
Do they honestly think ppl would have waited this long for s754? They SHOULD have made it s939.
I see this as lost revenue for DFI.
Fantastic board yes, but for those who are looking to currently upgrade, will there be many who opt for this baord over a s939?
I wish they had brought it out as a s939, as I would forget about buying an MSI K8N Neo2 in an instant.
Its all well and good having the best board, but you need to have some savvy to, and think about when the introduction of your board will result in the greatest revenue!
And thats just plain common sense. Reply
tchuyev - Monday, October 25, 2004 - linkSo... using 3 SATA disks in a RAID0 array (using SATA ports 2 & 3 + 1 or 2, along with 2 * 512 OCZ PC-4200), I can't overclock the motherboard any higher than 240 FSB, right ?
Using both the nForce & Marvell SATA controlers with the same 3 SATA disks on a RAID0 array : is it more likely to cause a performance drop - comparing to 2 disks on ports 3 & 4 - more than anything else ?
In my case, wouldn't it be thus better to go for a Silicon Image 3114r instead, like on the Asus K8N-E Deluxe ?
Thanx a bunch ;)

JustAnAverageGuy - Sunday, September 12, 2004 - link"With our stock 3200+ and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, the DFI is one of the better 2nd generation 754 boards. Standard performance tests demonstrate the DFI LANParty UT is very competitive with other recent Athlon 64 boards in Direct X 9 games, which is all we would expect. UT2004 and Far Cry include results from Socket 939 and Intel 775 for comparison. Since both the 939 and 775 results were with faster CPUs running an nVidia 6800 Ultra AGP 8X/PCIe, it is remarkable that the scores are as close as they are."

Wesley Fink - Thursday, September 09, 2004 - link#40 - Both versions of the 3200+ are now mentioned at the bottom of page 9 - 2.0GHz with 1024k cache and 2.2GHz with 512k cache. Our test 3200+ was a 2.0GHz 1024k version. Reply

rjm55 - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkI'm releived to know 1GB dimms work fine. It didn't make sense that other 754 had no problems with 1GB dimms and this one did. I'm glad DFI cleared up the confusion. Reply
Wesley Fink - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkI just spoke with Oskar Wu, the board's designer. Oskar says they have 1GB dimms from Samsung that work fine on the LANParty UT, and that the Samsung 1GB dimms use 512MB chips in their construction. He said the only reason for the caution on 512MB chips (not dimms) was because they have not verified operation with dimms made with 1GB chips. All of the 1GB dimms I have here for testing use 512MB chips in their construction.
Oskar also stated that 2 dimms work best in dimm slots 1 and 2, and not 1 and 3. He said try 1 and 2 and you will get better performance with 2 dimms. Reply
Bozo Galora - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkI just went there to check it out - #33 was wrong.
It supports 512 MegaBIT DEVICES - DRAMS, not sticks. Reply
cnq - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkYeah, I saw that too. I didn't know that any 754 motherboards forbade using a 1GB DIMM. Who knows, maybe it's a misprint on DFI's part...we can always hope.
laxxy - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkwhere does it say it supports only 512M?
it states that it
> Supports up to 3GB memory when using DDR333
> Supports up to 2GB memory when using DDR400
??? Reply
Bozo Galora - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - link#33 - yeah whats up with that
best perf with one stick, but only 512

ukDave - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkGreat article Wesley. Lucky for you guys in the states DFI's RMA process is actually good, here in Europe (UK) we have to deal with DFI NL (Netherlands), and they tbh are crap. So bad in-fact some retailers are debating whether to carry future boards from DFI. I certainly hope they do though, as this board sure looks like a belter, and it WILL be replacing my Asus K8V-SE Deluxe which has no PCI lock (although its still a great board). Reply

Wesley Fink - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - link#23-#26 -
You are correct. Since the board was sent without the usual manual, I assumed the SATA ports between the AGP slot and CPU socket were SATA 1 and 2. I now have the manual file, and in fact those ports are identified as SATA 3 and 4.
The 250GB SATA drive was connected to SATA 3 for the overclocking tests. Reply

SLIM - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkGreat article man, but I almost blew by the part where you mentioned that the Far Cry and UT results were with a 9800pro vs 6800ultras. You might consider putting asterisk on those graphs and bold or highlight the huge difference in graphics cards.
It might help those who prefer to only look at the pretty pictures.

Myrandex - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkI think the yellow looks cool, but a UV reactive plastic would have been cool along with it. This does seem a bit more of a 'budget' type board when compared to other LanParty series boards. I sure do like it a lot, and I have considered moving from my old MSI K8T Neo board to this one (so I am kinda happy about it being S754). I do wonder about the two SATA cables near the AGP socket, as they are extremely out of the way, and it brings more cable clutter to the center of the board. Reply
Wesley Fink - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - link#16 - The test bed had a MaXLine III 250GB SATA hard drive with 16MB of buffer. We first tested with the SATA on Channel 1 between the AGP slot and the CPU -- the plan was to see where SATA failed and then switch to IDE to find the top OC. When we reached DDR600 then DDR616 while running this SATA drive we saw no point in the IDE switch. This board is really stable in OC - even with SATA. Reply
rjm55 - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkYou say on page 6 that you ran the overclocking tests with a SATA hard drive. Can you please confirm that you did DDR616 running a SATA hard drive, because I've read that SATA drives can hold back overclocking. Reply

Ecmaster76 - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkTalking about weak SATA connectors...
I just built a Shuttle XPC for a friend and it had custom SATA connectors on the board and (slightly) custom cables that make things a lot better. The board connector is a lot like a USB socket, it has an outer support ring with the original SATA data pins in the center (its backward compatible). The cable has added bits on it that make it snap into the board connector. No more accidentally pulle cable. I wish the SATA mechanical specs would be revised to such a system or something similar. The electrical aspects of SATA are awesome but they didn't put much though into the connectors. Reply

In autumn, Operation Enduring Freedom commenced,
which some party-poopers wanted to nickname
Operation Infinite Self-Indulgence.
We tied flags to the antennae of our cars
that snapped like fire when we drove.
In winter there was Operation Gentle Sledgehammer,
which seemed linguistically a little underdigested,
but we lined up squads of second-graders
to stand at attention while we beat a drum.
Let me make it clear that I was
as doubtful as anyone about Operation Racial Provocation
but I loved Operation Religious Suspicion,
which led to Operation Eye For An Eye,
which was succeeded by Operation Helping Hand;
—Let me tell you that was a scary-looking hand!
But that was also a very successful Operation.
Someday you will be required to perform a terrible deed
in order to save yourself,
but save yourself for what?
That would be a question for Operation
Self-Examination to answer,
which is a very painful operation
performed without anesthesia
in a naked room full of shadows and light.
Perhaps I might suggest, instead,
Operation Self-Medication, or Operation Endless
Mindless Distraction?
In the meantime Operation Collateral Amnesia
is proceeding very smoothly
When it is over we want call it Operation One Big Happy Family—
Is that okay with you?

Consumers Sponsored by
According to a new study from The NPD Group, Inc. titled Men's Grooming Consumer Report, more than nine in 10 men (ages 18+) are using some sort of grooming product today, which can include facial and body skin care, shaving, hair care and fragrance. However, only one-quarter of men are currently using facial skin care products such as facial cleansers and moisturizers, lip and eye products, and anti-aging treatments.
The men's facial skin care market has grown 11% in dollar sales in 2011, compared to 2010, according to The NPD Group.
When looking at those men using facial skin care, over one-third (37%) reported using facial cleansers (excluding bar soap) and facial lotions/moisturizers. Three in ten (30%) were cited using lip products, and over one-fourth (26%) are using acne treatment products.
Even within facial skin care, men purchase the more commonly used products that target basic cleaning and moisturizing, while those that offer more specialized benefits such as treating acne and preventing or diminishing the signs of aging, are less likely used by men.
"There is a huge opportunity with men for facial skin care. The challenge is getting them involved and engaged," said Karen Grant, vice president and senior global industry analyst, The NPD Group. "Seventy-five percent of men ages 18 and up are not currently using facial skin care products. There is a feeling that facial skin care products are not needed unless you have a specific skin problem such as acne. For men to use a product, he first must be aware that there is an underlying need that requires addressing.

Did you know?
The project runs for a 1-week minimum, starting on the first Monday of every month.
If youre between the ages of 18 and 40, fit and filled with a sense of adventure and purpose, then apply for the Kaapsehoop Horse Trails Volunteer Project. You'll be welcome whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider.
The project is based at Kaapsehoop Horse Trails, near the historic gold-mining town of Kaapsehoop in Komatiland's Berlin Forest in the mountains of Mpumalanga.
The trails, which lie at the end of a 7km forest trail on a 17 000ha private concession, date back over half a century, with young and old learning, riding, exploring and just having fun on horseback.
Far from being pampered pets, the horses you'll work with on the Kaapsehoop Horse Trails Volunteer Project live in the mountains with the wild horses of Kaapsehoop. Each morning the horses are called in and prepared for the trails rides. If there are no riders, the horses get the time off and stay in their natural environment.
What's the Kaapsehoop Horse Trails Volunteer Project all about? Leon Smith, who runs the project, says that the idea is 'to make a difference to people's lives through horses'.
Not only will your own experience and horizons be broadened but you'll also be helping others. The project works with the local community – Zulu, Swazi and Shangaan people – helping them plough their fields with the horses and develop organic vegetable gardens.
You'll stay in a comfortable cottage on site, work Monday to Friday with weekends off (time to explore Mpumalanga 's scenic wonders and the nearby Kruger National Park).
Among other skills you'll learn general equine husbandry, how to look after saddles and bridles, horseback riding, archery and a survival course, plus counteracting alien vegetation and working with projects in the local forestry community.

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated April 19, 2011)
Allah created every animal from water. Some of them go on their bellies, some of them on two legs, and some on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things. (Surat an-Nur, 45)
Allah creates what He chooses. There is no doubt that Allah is mighty enough to create all things.
Allah says that water lies at the origin of all living things. Water constitutes the greater part of the human body. All living things are largely water.
We have sent down Signs making things clear. Allah guides whoever He wills to a straight path. (Surat an-Nur,46)
Abjad (numerological) calculation gives a date of 2044.
They say, 'We have belief in Allah and in the Messenger and we obey.' Then after that a group of them turn away. Such people are not believers. (Surat an-Nur, 47)
People generally believe, but a while later they then abandon prayer and religion. You will probably have seen many people who change their attitudes later on. The Qur'an is referring to that.
When they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger, so that he can judge between them, a group of them immediately turn away. (Surat an-Nur, 48)
Allah says there will be a group that refuses to accept when it is suggested we all behave according to the moral values of the Qur'an.
But if right is on their side, they come to him most submissively! (Surat an-Nur, 49)
When something happens, people first of all want their own rights to be protected. But one side will always lose out in justice. I mean, they will regard themselves as losing out. If two people go to court, one will be in the right. But both try to be in the right at the same time.
Is there a sickness in their hearts or do they have misgivings or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust to them? No, it is simply that they are wrongdoers. (Surat an-Nur, 50)
They do not trust in the justice of our Prophet (saas). The Qur'an is referring to that. What must believers do? They must listen and obey. I mean, they must leave justice to our Prophet (saas). And that also applies to the time of the way of the Mahdi. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will decide on justice. People will fall into doubt or uncertainty. They will not say their rights have been violated. Because there may be depths to the matter they are unaware of. They will have trust, insha'Allah.

Gavin likes getting up early because it's so quiet.
Pete likes to get up early so he can get to work before the rush hour starts.
Who enjoys getting up early? Who chooses to get up early, but may not particularly enjoy it?
The answers are obvious, given the context.
Then here's the answer the book gives:
Gavin enjoys getting up, Pete chooses to get up. Like + -ing means 'to enjoy', like + infinitive means 'you think it is a good idea and you do it if possible.
I don't know. This doesn't feel right. This book I'm using is British, that's why I have to really get prepared for a class, otherwise I could be caught with my pants down. This is probably a differentiation that only the Brits make?
Besides, if Gavin likes to get up early so he can get to work before rush hour starts, and that doesn't necessarily mean that he likes it, does he really like it, in the strictest sense of the word?
A British grammar book I consulted said that like can be followed by either the ing or the infinitive, with no difference in meaning, then it goes on to say that sometimes (my quote), they may not be interchangeable.

Looking at Bigger Cigars
Posted: Jul 28, 2010 9:16am ET
Back in 1995, when I was hired by Cigar Aficionado, I was a huge fan of big cigars (I was also thinner, had no beard, and my hair was all black, but that's another story.) When I wanted a cigar—and I always wanted a cigar—I reached for the big ones, double coronas and Churchills especially. Sure, I loved robustos too, enjoyed big pyramids as well, but I didn't look upon coronas and petit coronas with as much favor.
Things changed. I had my smaller cigar revelations that opened my eyes to just how good a smaller smoke can be. First came the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos No. 3, which is 5 1/2 inches long by 44 ring gauge. (We include them in our corona category when we rate them.) If you haven't smoked one of these, stop reading my blog right now, go to your favorite cigar store and buy one (better yet, buy a couple.) You'll know what I mean. It's one of the all-time great cigars, and it's downright diminutive.
Then came the Cohiba Siglo I experience. It was 1996, and I was sitting on a balcony in Pinar del Río, Cuba. I opened up a box of Cohiba Siglo Is for the first time. Puny little smoke I thought, looking at the four inch long, 40 ring gauge petit corona. I didn't expect much. Wow, was I wrong. It was bold and full of taste. How could there be so much flavor in such a small package?
I moved away from really big cigars for awhile. Sure, I smoked them (I smoke cigars of all sizes, for tasting as part of my job) but when I smoked for pleasure I tended to go with robustos, corona gordas, coronas, lanceros, almost anything but the doubles and Churchills I loved as a younger smoker. One reason was my newfound love for the smaller cigars, but another was the constraints of time on smoking large format smokes.
But recent events have put me back on the big cigar train. I got a hold of some glorious Ramon Allones Gigantes recently (one of Cuba's superb double coronas), and puffing on them reminded me of just how good big format cigars can be. They are cigars that cannot be rushed, cigars that command as much as two hours of smoking time. I fired up one recently with a good friend on my deck, sitting outside on a not-too-hot summer evening, catching up on things. The cigars, each one brilliantly made, with wrappers as fine as silk, got better with every puff, and were eminently complex, rich and delicious.
Double coronas and Churchills aren't the hottest sellers in cigar stores—the best sellers are robustos and corona gordas—but when they're great, they are very hard to beat. If you've drifted away from them, consider making time for them once again.

Nice commentary Dave. Think I will have to bust out one of those RA's tomorrow night. Somehow I think it will be a good evening.
David Savona New July 28, 2010 2:41pm ET
The ones I smoked were (and are) fantastic. And they're recent production RAs, very nice indeed. Hope you enjoy yours as well.
Art Sacks July 28, 2010 9:27pm ET
I remember the Hoyo DC`s 10 and 15 yrs ago were so rich and refined. I smoked them by the box.Now i admit to smaller rings. But when i have time i revisit the classic large sizes.
Brent Strayer Minneapolis, MN August 9, 2010 12:43am ET
I totally agree with your comments about not finding time to enjoy smoking the bigger cigars. I love double coronas but there is never enough time to smoke them. BecAuse of this I started smoking the Oliva Serie V belicoso. They are small enough they don't take hours, but they offer a full bodied taste and just enough cigar to satisfy.

January 15, 2008 — Houston — Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Management is in alliance with Houston educational organizations in a compelling new program designed to equip principals in K-12 schools with exceptional leadership skills and business acumen. A goal of the initiative is to dramatically change and improve the academic performance of students throughout the community, particularly in underserved schools. The program as designed, is unique not only in Houston, but throughout the US. The "Rice Education Entrepreneurship Programs," (Rice EEP), will provide training that equips principals with skills to better deal with the complex challenges in today's schools. The launch of the program was funded through a $7.2 million grant awarded by Houston Endowment. "We are excited that Houston Endowment's support will allow Rice to create and offer a new and uniquely rigorous academic program aimed at improving education management and teaching–and-learning performance in Houston's schools. The new program will engage successful local practitioners and national thought leaders as instructors in a postgraduate program for current and future principals in our city schools," said Rice University Provost Eugene Levy, PhD. "Houston Endowment's visionary support allows us to combine the resources of Rice's internationally distinguished Jones Graduate School of Management with education courses and practical experiential learning to offer a new concept for preparing school leaders. We look forward to the important impact that we anticipate this program will have on the educational achievement of Houston's public school students." "School leadership is a key determinant of student success," stated Houston Endowment president Larry R. Faulkner. "This grant represents a significant investment in those individuals who not only have demonstrated excellence in the classroom, but who show promise of becoming some of the finest school leaders in the nation. By helping to defray the costs of a graduate degree, we hope to encourage them to continue to devote themselves to K-12 education, particularly in underserved areas." Collaboration among several Houston area organizations has brought a wide array of expertise to the table: Teach For America and Houston A+ Challenge have contributed to the innovative program which comprises three customized learning tracks for three different groups of participants. One of the tracks, The Rice MBA for Professionals for Educational Entrepreneurs, is unique in the marketplace in that it is designed specifically for educators. The program is expected to bring strong new K-12 leadership into the Houston area and merges the best of Rice with exemplary regional education innovators and national thought leaders. It will create a powerful network of 45 education change agents who will develop strong collegial relationships that will serve them well as they face challenges and successes throughout their careers. "The K-12 school system at large in the Houston community calls for transformational thought leadership in its management ranks that can greatly improve the quality of education for the community for the long term," said William H. Glick, dean of Rice's Jones Graduate School of Management. Increasing the number of strong school leaders requires developing individuals from both the current pool in the education system and by attracting new talent from our community and the US. The collaboration with Teach For America provides a set of candidates who are seeking a rigorous general management education at Rice. The programs will identify and admit candidates who can assume a senior leadership position, most likely as principals, upon graduation. There will be three academic tracks for program participants that involve either the Rice MBA for Professionals or Rice Advanced Management Program for Education Entrepreneurs (RAMP-EE) which is a non-degree certificate program. The three groups of participants include:
Track A: 15 academic professionals with five to seven years experience who seek to supplement their degree with a Rice MBA-EE (two-year commitment). Houston A+ challenge will work in collaboration with the university to provide coaches to assist the MBA students in assimilating what they have learned into school settings. With its considerable experience in working with local school leaders, Houston A+ will encourage students to serve in the Houston area schools. Rice will also provide tuition reimbursement for those who select to work in under-served schools for a designated time. Admission deadline for this track is June 2, 2008 and courses start the following Fall. Track B: 15 aspiring principals that have a master's degree and require principal certification who will participate in an intensive summer education program and a customized RAMP program Track C: 15 sitting principals who will study management through a tailored and innovative curriculum in educational entrepreneurship through participation in the RAMP-EE program
All three tracks will participate in a unique summer education curriculum that attracts speakers who are both regional and national thought leaders. A majority of the summer curriculum will be based upon the Texas State Board of Educator Certificate (SBEC) framework and include classes in: value and ethics of leadership, human resources, communication and community relations, curriculum planning and development, instructional leadership, among other subjects.

Health topics
Tularaemia is a disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. It primarily affects mammals, commonly rodent species. Humans can become infected through bites from certain ticks and flies, through contact with the tissues or secretions of infected animals, through inhalation, by ingesting undercooked meat from infected animals or from drinking contaminated water. Laboratory-acquired infections have been documented. Symptoms and signs, which in humans usually develop 3–5 days after infection, depend on the route of infection. They may include fever, ulcers and swollen lymph nodes, eye inflammation, sore throat, pneumonia, or a severe, acute flu-like illness. Tularaemia can be treated with antibiotics

Hi all,
I am fairly new to pottery but wanted to try throwing different clay bodies in various difficulties. One thing that really fascinated me are high grog content clays. The coarser the better. I came across this moon jar that I wanted to attempt but wasn't sure how I could come up with it. The artist said it is a mixture of porcelain and abereiddi stone + white jun glaze. Can someone advice on how I can get this clay body?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Porcelain is porcelain. The key is his addition of a local stone -- abereiddi -- which he wedges into the porcelain and then fires. The stone is likely a high iron content stone, so it shows through the white jun glaze. Basically, he adds the local stone to his clay. Whether he mixes his own porcelain or buys a commercial porcelain -- unknown. But he adds the stone. Likely fired to cone 10 or hire to get the stone to melt properly.

South Allegheny clinches section title despite sloppy play
It would have been perfect if South Allegheny had clinched the school's first section title in girls soccer with an artistic display worthy of the description "masterpiece."
In reality, the Gladiators' 5-0 victory over Beth-Center, which gave them the outright Section 2-A championship, was filled with poor passing and missed scoring opportunities in a game they dominated from start to finish.
"The field played into it, and it was a pretty bad field, but it really comes down to not finishing, and some days they're like that," South Allegheny coach Jesse MacPherson said. "Some days they finish, some days they don't."
South Allegheny (13-0-0, 10-0-0) pressed the attack throughout the first half and pushed quality shots at Beth-Center senior goalkeeper Taylor Meckley. But, to her credit, she turned every attempt aside until late in the half. That was when South Allegheny freshman Amber Brownfield set up senior Shannon Wygonik for what turned out to be the game-winning goal.
It might also be the last goal Wygonik scores for a while. She left the field at the intermission with a wrist injury and was taken to a hospital for examination. The preliminary diagnosis was a possible break.
Though players have been known to play with casts, it is generally frowned upon because of the amount of contact and the damage that could be inflicted upon an opponent. That would mean, if Wygonik — one of the team's leading scorers — could play, she would have to do so without a hard cast and would have to be medically cleared.
"If she's not able to play that would be huge," MacPherson said. "I expect she probably will be back (for the playoffs), but she's one of our two main scorers, so it would be tough if she couldn't come back. It was nice winning our first section title and to win it outright, but we hope that Shannon can come back."
Without Wygonik going forward, the onus of finishing would rest on the shoulders of Brownfield, who is among the WPIAL's top finishers with 18 goals. She picked up her 18th in the second half against Beth-Center when she spun left around sophomore defender Chelsea Snyder, dribbled in alone and fired off a shot that beat Meckley high to the far left post for a 2-0 lead.
"I tried that move so many times and I couldn't get away with it," Brownfield said. "When I finally did, I scored."
Brownfield also added her second assist of the game on midfielder Melanie Girovski's goal with 17 seconds remaining in regulation. But despite clinching the school's first section title, there was no celebration on the field as the players instead readied themselves for a tougher test Tuesday against Serra Catholic. The Eagles will certainly be a more desperate foe after they were eliminated from WPIAL playoff contention after their loss to Charleroi on Monday.
"Luckily we have three games that should be tougher going forward," MacPherson said.
"They know that if they don't come out and play better, they're not going to win them."
Still, though it may have been a lacking performance as compared to some other outings, South Allegheny retains quite a bit of pride in its accomplishment.
"It really means a lot," Brownfield said.
"I didn't think it would be like this."

A student whose driving resulted in serious injuries to the driver of another car is facing a possible disqualification.
Laura Jones, 25, was driving her father's Land Rover Freelander on the A59 at Beamsley when she lost control, Skipton magistrates were told on Friday.
Prosecuting, Caroline Midgley said a witness saw the Freelander overtake the lorry and narrowly miss another one coming the other way.
He then saw the Freelander on its roof and barrel into another car, said Mrs Midgley.
Jones, despite extensive damage to the Freelander, suffered minor injuries, but the driver of the other car suffered serious injuries and spent the next five days in Leeds General Infirmary.
Jones, of Hodgson Fold, Addingham, wrote to the court admitting driving without due care and attention on November 20 but included no mitigation.
But following the accident, she had told police she was a student in Harrogate, had been using her father's car and had no recollection of the accident.
Magistrates adjourned sentencing until May 2 for Jones to attend because they were considering a driving ban.

I just came back from Lowe's with my new Char-Griller. I can't wait to get it seasoned and give it a test run, or two, or three,....
I wanted to thank everyone for their posts concerning this smoker/grill, especially BBcue-Z and BigDaddy. It really helped me decide to buy one of these as opposed to building a new smoker. Now, not only do I have a smoker, but I also have 2 grills, too (I bought the optional side fire box. BBcue-Z, thanks for the seasoning steps and the aluminum foil tip.
Putting it together was a snap. If anyone is interested in this smoker, I would recommend going to Lowe's first. The Lowe's by me had 2 price tags on it: one for $120 and another for $90. I asked the guy there which is correct. He told the $120 was correct, but since it had a cheaper price tag on it, he would sell it to me for $90. He didn't have to ask twice on that!!
If anyone has any additional tips with their Char-Griller, I sure would appreciate it you posting it.

Hello, this is my first (and best) attempt at making a game with PyGame. I decided to go simple with it and do Pong. There is no AI only 2 players. (P1 = w (up) s (Down) P2 = up key / down key) The goal is 5. I created the music for it which I know pong doesn't have music I just wanted to also make Midi's for the game. If anyone notices anything with the code that could be changed or even made an easier way. Don't let me know exactly how to do it because I still want to try on my own. Thanks for everyone that views this and gives feedback.
