Very dusty in the recovery. Poorly cleaned the apartment. The toilet in one of the rooms upstairs was not working properly. The aerial cable to the TV was not in order.
Some sloppy finishing works in the apartment. The backyard was overdue and muddy.
Very nice kitchen. Spacious apartment.
Sum: "Luxury appartment" not quite descriptive.
The apartment we rented in 2014 in Gallowgate was much nicer.
Geir Otnæs
Veldig støvete i oppgangen. Dårlig rengjort i leiligheten. Toalettet på et av rommene oppe virket ikke skikkelig. Antennekabelen til TV var ikke i orden.
En del slurvete oppussingsarbeid i leiligheten. Bakgården var forfallen og møkkete.
Veldig fint kjøkken. Romslig leilighet.
Sum: "Luxury appartment" ikke helt beskrivende.
Leiligheten vi leide i 2014 i Gallowgate var mye finere.
Geir Otnæs
Large, clean, well organized, very quiet and well positioned to visit all Glasgow, Kelvin Park and metro 2 steps.
There was a small problem that was quickly resolved by Ronnie and Andy on a simple e-mail to which they responded pronto.
WIFI ok
Grand, propre, bien organisé, très tranquille et bien positionné pour visiter tout Glasgow, Kelvin Park et métro à 2 pas.
Il y a eu un petit problème qui a été très rapidement réglé par Ronnie et Andy sur un simple é-mail auquel ils ont répondu illico.
WIFI ok
I have previously rented apartments through Wimdu - and this time the whole process enjoyable uburokratisk and functioning. The apartment in tip top condition (is however in the ground floor, that for a Dane bit of a basement apartment) is located two minutes from a subway station and also within walking distance from the city. Close to park and sights. Can be recommended
Jeg har tidligere lejet lejligheder gennem Wimdu - og også denne gang var hele forløbet behageligt uburokratisk og velfungerende. Lejligheden i tip top stand (ligger dog i ground floor, dvs. for en dansker lidt af en kælderlejlighed), er beliggende to minutter fra en subway-station og i øvrigt i gå-afstand fra city. Tæt på park og seværdigheder. Kan klart anbefales
Really good appartment, more than enough for 4 people. Situated close to town centre, 15min walk to bus station, and similar to the train station. The wi-fi worked prefectly, really good beds and furniture. There is an Aldi opposite the front door so it´s esay to go there if you miss something.The only 'but' is the toilet fan, extremly noisy for us. Everything else, great. I´ll recommend this one if you are planning to visit Glasgow.
We had a wonderful time in Glasgow visiting family and your flat met our need perfectly. Everything was as described from arrival to departure. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the living and dining rooms were great. We will definitely contact you when we plan our next visit.

My Weight is in Danger
i am sick with myasthenia Gravis and this is my first year with that disease. my real problem is that i should have Cortisone 3 times a day and that may be for a long time. i feel sad that my weight start to increase, my face soon will be like a ball and i am just 17 years old. i wonder if there is anything i could do to control my weight before i become like a ............ help me with any diet or any instructions could help me while i have that Cortisone.
Information from Robert Goetz, PharmD, DABAT
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease that affects the voluntary muscles. An autoimmune disease is one in which the body attacks itself. In patients with MG, the immune system attacks parts of the nervous system involved in normal muscle activities like walking, standing, and lifting things. This disease goes through periods when it is active and times when it is quiet. The exact trigger for an MG attack is unknown. However, the result is that patients with the disease get muscle weakness and the weakness worsens over time.
Since MG is a disease in which the immune system is overactive, one of the ways that doctors treat it is to reduce the activity of the immune system with medicines. Cortisone is a steroid that the body makes in small amounts every day. Doctors use higher doses of cortisone than the body usually makes to reduce the action of the immune system. This can help to prevent your body from attacking your receptors and decrease muscle weakness.
Unfortunately, these drugs cause many side effects including increased appetite, weight gain, insomnia, nervousness, and Cushing's syndrome. The symptoms of Cushing's syndrome include: fat deposits on the abdomen, upper back (sometimes called buffalo hump), and face (this round or puffy face is sometimes called moon face). It can also cause thin skin, easy bruising, cuts or scratches that take a long time to heal, pink or purple stretch marks, depression, acne, irritability, thicker face and body hair, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and weak, brittle bones.
Your doctor will want to help reduce the severity of these side effects by using the smallest effective dose of steroids for as short a time as possible. This could be as little as 2 months, or it may take your doctor years to find the right dose for you. After a while, your doctor may also have you take your medicine every other day to reduce these side effects.
We cannot provide guidance on the best way to reduce weight gain. However, we are forwarding your request to experts in the diet and nutrition section for further consultation.
Prepared by Anna Alexander, PharmD Candidate at the University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy.
Information from Lisa Andrews, MEd, RD, LD
Thanks for your question. While I cannot give you specific diet information online, below are some tips to help you control your weight while taking steroids.
1. Limit sugar from sweetened beverages and dessert. Steroids affect blood sugar metabolism and may cause high blood sugar as well weight gain over time. Limit fruit juice as well as the extra calories may increase weight. Choose whole fruit instead.
2. Cut back on empty calorie snack foods such as chips, pretzels, cake, cookies, pie, etc to help with weight loss.
3. Limit high sodium foods to prevent further swelling in your face and other parts of your body. Cut back on fast food, processed meats, snack crackers/chips/pretzels, frozen meals, canned soup and other high sodium items.
4. Exercise as tolerated. If you are able to do any type of exercise during treatment, this will help maintain muscle mass and reduce further weight gain. Walk, bike, use a treadmill or swim to burn calories and build muscle during treatment.
5. Choose more high fiber food to fill you up. Go for whole wheat bread over white, brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, etc to help curb your appetite and manage cravings. Snack on raw vegetables and fruit in place of granola bars, crackers, etc.
6. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Medication may leave you dehydrated, which can increase appetite. Aim for ~6-8 (8 oz) glasses of plain water daily.
If none of these suggestions help, I suggest you locate a Registered Dietitian to help you individually with your diet. You can locate one through the American Dietetic Associate web site.
Best of luck!

Did you know?
The Comrades Marathon, an annual Pietermaritzburg to Durban or Durban to Pietermaritzburg event, is the world's oldest and largest ultra-marathon road race.
The KwaZulu-Natal Midlands is located between the magnificent Drakensberg mountains, KwaZulu-Natal's game reserves and the eThekwini-Durban metropolitan area. The largest urban presence is Pietermaritzburg, a deeply historical city characterised by museums, historical routes and perfectly preserved Victorian architecture.
Art galleries, antique stores, an African-inspired shopping mall, interesting buildings, Butterflies for Africa, the Golden Horse Casino, the Howick waterfall and museum, and the surrounding Midlands Meander tourism route are popular attractions to include on your itinerary.
Pietermaritzburg, the administrative capital of the province, was founded by the Voortrekkers (Dutch-speaking colonists who moved from the Cape to the interior) in 1838 and was once the capital of the Boer (Dutch-speaking farmers) republic, Natalia.
It is regarded as the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent resistance, satyagraha, as it was here that he decided to fight racial discrimination against Indians after being forcefully removed from a train for sitting in a first-class carriage.
Investigate this heritage on an historical walking tour or take a half-day for full-day driving tour. Places worth seeing include the KwaZulu-Natal Museum, Tatham Art Gallery, KwaZulu-Natal Railway Museum, Voortrekker Museum, Msunduzi Museum Complex, Comrades Marathon House and Macrorie House. The Pietermaritzburg Botanical Gardens, Garden of Remembrance and Church Street mall with its African Arts and Crafts Centre.
Beyond the city limits, the Victorian-inspired streets give way to beautiful countryside, characterised by rivers, farms, nature reserves and lush green hills that roll away to the distant Drakensberg mountains.
This is the home of the Midlands Meander, South Africa's first and finest arts and crafts tourism route. The meander is scenic and bursts with attractions, featuring around 130 destinations offering everything from handmade arts and crafts and homemade treats to world-class accommodation. Explore studios and galleries, country kitchens and homesteads and experience the true warmth of South African hospitality.
The Midlands also features a wealth of natural attractions. Visit the Midmar Dam and enjoy a picnic, lakeside walks and water sports, try some game viewing at Tala Game Reserve or the Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve, or pop in at the Albert Falls Dam Nature Reserve, and go for a game drive, game walk or a spot of bass fishing, or take a trip further inland to Howick to see the magnificent falls of the same name.

How to get here
Fly from any of South Africa's major cities to King Shaka International Airport north of Durban. Take the N3 inland.
If you're driving from Johannesburg take the N3 freeway direct to Pietermaritzburg. From Cape Town, take the N2 freeway to Durban. From Durban, pick up the N3 to Pietermaritzburg.
Best time to visit
Pietermaritzburg is an all-year-round destination due to its warm climate. Spring to autumn (September to May) is the best time to visit the Midlands, as days are warm and sunny, and the nights moderate. Winter (June to August) produces mild days, but very cold nights.
Tours to do
Historical tours of Pietermaritzburg; Victorian and Edwardian architectural heritage tours of Pietermaritzburg; the Midlands Meander tourism route; Midmar Dam; Albert Falls Dam Nature Reserve; Church Street mall, Garden of Remembrance, historic Railway Station, KwaZulu-Natal Museum, Gandhi statue, the Botanical Gardens and Butterflies for Africa, all at Pietermaritzburg.

Deena & Ozzy Americana Crossbody Bag
Whenever I travel, I reach for a smallish bag that I can throw across my body . . . and I have always referred to it as my "safety bag." You know, because it makes it that much harder to leave it, lose it, or have it stolen. Of course, "crossbody" is a much more elegant term to describe this particular style of handbag. And this is a particularly lovely specimen to secure your tickets, make-up, snacks and other essentials as you bop to the beat at Music to Know.

- Locality
- Isle Of Wight
In 1608, shortly after the Jamestown settlement was established, Captain John Smith crossed the James River and obtained 14 bushels of corn from the Warraskoyack Tribe, first residents of present-day Isle of Wight County. Established in 1634 as one of the original 8 shires of the Virginia Colony, the county remains largely a rural community with its quaint towns of Windsor and Smithfield. Agricultural products, like tobacco, cotton, peanuts, soy, corn and the famous Smithfield Ham have helped sustain the county's economy throughout its history.
Begin your visit in Smithfield at the Visitor Center, also home to the Arts Center @ 319. This unique facility offers tourist information, a gallery/gift shop and the opportunity to chat with resident artists.
Further down Main St. is the Isle of Wight County Museum, with an overview of the county's history, a country store, and the world's oldest ham. Visit the gift shop for souvenirs that reflect the agricultural nature of the area. Stroll down Main St., with its unique shops and art galleries, and stop by the Taste of Smithfield to pick up a little ham for the road.
Darden's Country Store is a classic country store, where visitors can tour the family's smokehouse and farm or work their way through a corn maze. Summer Wind Vineyards & Christmas Tree Farms offer tours, or you can visit the alpacas at Woodland Trail Farms.
In Windsor you'll find the Commonwealth Gin, a working cotton gin offering tours, and the Zuni Gourmet Peanuts store. Indika Farms is one of several Century Farms that have been in operation for at least 100 consecutive years. Many offer tours with advance notice.
The Olde Towne Curb Market, held each Saturday morning from Memorial Day to Labor Day, with specialty markets monthly throughout the year, is packed with plenty of locally grown produce, handmade goods, and live music.
Museum staff is available for programs with advance notice. Tours are offered seasonally.

Vascular Surgery
Palms Turn Red When Walking
My palms turn red, (like a blushing color), when I walk, and my skin by my cuticles, (nailfolds), turns red also, when I walk. My hands throb slightly. If I raise my hands up, the redness goes away.
What type of specialist should I make an appointment with, and what kinds of tests will he do?
I showed my current doctor the redness, and he did not seem concerned, and said the redness was "blanchable erythema." But I am worried and want to find out what is causing this. Two family members had heart attacks. I want to find a specialist, since my doctor did not refer me to one.
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. A vascular medicine specialist might be able to help (not a vascular surgeon).

To be born a woman of color in this world is a difficult thing; as cumulatively we occupy the bottom of the race and class hierarchy. We are unique in that we have no institutionalized other. Our lives are often filled with violence and poverty. For every Oprah Winfrey or Tyra Banks there are millions for whom each breath is a struggle. For those of us that are negotiating multiple areas of stigmatization life can be that much more difficult.
I first heard about Duanna Johnson when I read about an assault against her by the Memphis police department. As they savagely struck her, they did not see her humanity, and they certainly did not see her struggles. These two white men, empowered by our society, saw a transgender black prostitute that they viewed as beneath them.
Even when medical aid was finally called, they treated her abusers, leaving her to bleed from an open wound on her head. As a prostitute Duanna had added a spoiled identity status to her already marginalized social position.
Being a transgender woman and hearing someone call you a he/she as they repeatedly strike you is meant to further remind you that are less than nothing. This is a message that our so-called black leadership internalized, as the voices of Jesse Jackson and camera-whore Al Sharpton were strangely silent.
One would believe that police brutality would be enough to cause anger in the black community, but few care about a drug addicted black trangender prostitute enough to sound the alarm. Though she was just as innocent as Sean Bell who met his death at the hands of police, her social status was enough for people to justify ignoring her.

Akon banged Nicole Bahls
Seen here having the only part of her that matters interviewed, recent site-staple Nicole Bahls found herself on the receiving end of Akon's penis last night, according to Globo.com. My Portuguese is a little rusty, but essentially the article says Akon's sister Danielle arranged the meeting and then it's just a dumb sketch of the old cannonball chamber, Mikey! WHERE'S THE GOLD?!
Thanks to Gustavo who's cool enough to admit Michael Jackson didn't come over to his house. But his sister did!

In many campaign settings for Dungeons & Dragons, Karontor is the giant deity of deformity, hatred, and beasts. His symbol is the head of a winter wolf.
Karontor manifests as a uniquely hideous fomorian giant dressed in rotting, stinking furs and wielding a club. He may also appear as a winter wolf.
In many campaign settings, the giantish pantheon of gods consists of the leader Annam, as well as Grolantor, Hiatea, Iallanis, Karontor, Memnor, Skoraeus Stonebones, and Stronmaus. Other powers worshiped by giants or giant-type creatures include Baphomet, Kostchtchie, and Vaprak.
Karontor, like his brother, Grolantor, is of the third generation of the giant pantheon, one of the so-called "runts." He is far more evil than his brother and far more intelligent.
Karontor dwells in a mausoleum of beast and giantish bones in Minethys, the third layer of Carceri, which he calls the Rack of Injustice. He is served by petitioners and by a pack of ever-hungry winter wolves. He was banished to Carceri by Annam, who wearied of the endless fights between his sons and found Karontor the easiest to rid himself of.
Karontor despises giantkind; this reflects his own deep self-loathing. He spends much of his time in introverted self-reflection, sending avatars to kill and destroy during his infrequent fits of rage.
Karontor is worshiped by many fomorian and verbeeg giants, as well as other giants considered deformed by most.
Karontor's priests are encouraged to kill good creatures, using trained beasts (especially wolves) for this purpose. They urge their followers to war and conflict.
Myths and legendsEdit
Some myths say that Karontor was once beautiful and shining, but his jealousy of Stronmaus caused him to twist into a form as hideous as his heart. As the corruption grew, he descended into the underworld where he learned dark secrets from an ancient race of subterranean hags. On his return, he used this magic to twist some of the fairest mortal giants into fomorians and verbeegs as hideous and corrupt as he is.

With nine changes to last week's impressive Wimbledon squad this was always going to be a hard ask, against a well-organised, beefy Beckenham team set on claiming their first win of the season. And so it proved.
While there was no lack of commitment from most of the team (and certainly not from the indefatigable Julian Callanan and Jason Anquetil), there was a total lack of teamwork and cohesion.
As Wimbledon's errors proliferated so Beckenham's confidence grew; they became quicker to the breakdown and more aggressive ball in hand and in the rucks, securing probably more turnovers than Dons conceded the whole of last season.
Although Wimbledon opened the scoring with a penalty by Mike Simmons they failed to take advantage of the stream of penalties awarded to them and within 15 minutes the game had moved to and stayed in their half.
A most unusual breech of Don's defence in the centre gave Beckenham's no.10, Forest, a soft try and soon after, another dreadful lapse let wingman Benham in for a second.
Wimbledon were lucky only to concede a further three points before half time.
Once Anquetil had been yellow-carded three minutes after the re-start and a penalty from Narby had put Beckenham 16-3 ahead, Wimbledon heads dropped and they looked a beaten side. A try from Beckenham's no.8 Curry confirmed that they were.
The one bright spot in an otherwise abject performance was that Dons were able to rouse themselves for the final ten minutes and string a few moves together, leading to a try in the corner for Anquetil.
Another looked on the cards but, as always happens when one team is playing much the better rugby, the luck of the bounce went with Beckenham and Wimbledon lost possession once again.
They'll have to secure a lot more at home next week against Gravesend – and use it rather more effectively.

HOUSTON - Shots were fired at a Houston Independent School District bus, and it was caught on camera.
Crime Stoppers released the surveillance video of the March 27 incident on Thursday.
KPRC Local 2 has been fighting for the release of the video for weeks, but HISD had fought against making it public.
The shooting happened near the intersection of Bellaire near the Southwest Freeway about 4:40 p.m.
HISD spokesman Jason Spencer said two men on the side of the road got into an argument with the students who were on the bus.
The students attend Beechnut Academy.
The video shows students reacting when a gunshot blasted out the window.
Several shots were fired, investigators said.
Crime Stoppers officials said they wanted to release the video because they thought that it could help lead to an arrest.
One of the reasons HISD gave for not releasing the video was that the students' faces were visible. Blurring out video is common for television news stations. The video that was released already had the students' faces blurred.
Parents said they were upset that it took so long to release the video. They also said the school district didn't notify them about the shooting.
"I'm bothered by it, No. 1 because I didn't hear about it and then," mother Tiffany Victoria said. "To hear that they're not trying to release the video, for whatever reason, it makes it questionable to me."
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
If you have a news tip or question for KPRC Local 2 Investigates, drop them an e-mail or call their tipline at (713) 223-TIPS (8477). Copyright 2012 by Click2Houston.com. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

This Friday marks a full year since Steve Jobs left us, and the tributes and memorials are starting to ramp up. They are nicely timed to coincide with rumors about the next life-changing Apple device, the iPad Mini. (Perhaps, being smaller, it will change our lives only 80 percent as much.)
Over at the LifeLibertyTech blog, Marcel Brown has uploaded a newly digitized version of a speech Jobs gave in 1983 (pre-Macintosh) to a design conference in Aspen. In it, Jobs presages things like the iPad, the iTunes Store, and the wireless communications revolution.

At Slashgear, Chris Burns resurrects a year-old video tribute to Jobs from his top design brain, Jonathan Ive, talking about the "really dopey, truly dreadful" ideas that Jobs would sometimes generate, as well as the bold, quiet, utterly profound ones.
CNN asks the always pointed question: Who will be the next Steve Jobs? Will it be Amazon's Jeff Bezos? (To my eye, he looks more and more with each passing day like Austin Powers nemesis Dr. Evil.) Mark Zuckerberg? (We recently learned he can actually put on a jacket and tie without breaking into a rash, so maybe there's hope yet.) Or the new Chief Yahoo, Marissa Mayer? (Now newly back on the job after delivering a yet-to-be-named 8-pound, 14-ounce baby boy; say what you will about Marissa, at least she ships on time.)
Those are the usual suspects proposed by CNN, along with Apple's Tim Cook and Jonathan Ive; Tesla and SpaceX's Elon Musk; and Seth Priebatsch.
Seth Priewhosis? He's the 22-year-old CEO of mobile payments company LevelUp, as well as the author of an iPhone app called SCVNGR (or "scavenger") that's designed to help gameify our educational system [video]. Yeah, I hadn't heard of him until 15 minutes ago, either. He looks like the kid you'd hire to rebuild your website who would then ask you if it was OK to take your daughter to the movies.
I think all of these folks are very smart; I have special respect for Musk, who of them all is the only one to try and break out of the computer/software/services mold and really change the world (and, possibly, outer space). But I don't think any of them will prove to be as influential or as revered as the late Apple CEO.
Bezos is probably closest to Jobs in his combination of tech savvy and consumer awareness, as well as his demanding attitude. He understands the need for simplicity nearly as well as Jobs did. But I don't see him as visionary. The Kindle is nice, but it was hardly the first great e-book reader or a great tablet. The Amazon store is an amazing example of high-end logistics at work, but I wouldn't call it revolutionary. It is ultimately just a store.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas - An 83-year-old woman has been accused of scamming people who paid her to help them with their legal issues.
Dorothy Clark Canfield has been charged with theft between $20,000 and $100,000.
Montgomery County sheriff's deputies said Canfield operated International Profession Placement Services in Willis and claimed to be a paralegal.
Canfield told clients that she could facilitate immigration paperwork for residency or citizenship in the United States, investigators said.
Detectives said at least seven people paid her $2,500 or more for services between September 2011 and September 2012, but the agreed upon services were not completed.
Canfield was arrested after an undercover investigator went to her, claiming to be in the country illegally and needing help filing documents to obtain legal status, deputies said.
Canfield has been booked into the Montgomery County Jail with bond set at $500,000.
Canfield has been in legal trouble in the past. In 1986, she was convicted on a felony theft charge in Walker County and sentenced to seven years probation. She pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery in Montgomery County in 1993 and was sentenced to 10 years probation. In 2009, Canfield was convicted of theft by check and served two years in prison. She was released in January 2011.

April 16th, 2012
CLAREMONT, Calif -- The Master's College men's track team competed at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational, hosted by Pomona-Pitzer College in Claremont Saturday. The Mustang men are now just two weeks away from the Golden State Athletic Conference Track and Field Championships, and Pomona-Pitzer served as another step in their progression towards the end of their 2012 season.
Starting off the day, Anthony Pizzo and John Gilbertson competed in the men's 1500m race. Both men used Saturday to sharpen-up their skills in preparation for the prestigious Mt. SAC Invitational this coming Thursday and Friday; Pizzo will race the 10k Thursday night, followed by Gilbertson in the 5k on Friday. Racing in the first and fastest of four heats of the 1500m, Gilbertson and Pizzo finished 2nd and 3rd respectively, with times of 3:51.98 and 3:54.32.
The men's 3000m steeplechase featured the representing trio of TMC's Matthew Crichton, David Eller and John Hurd. Crichton led the way for the Mustangs setting a new school record of 9:26.99 and finishing 3rd overall. Defeating Nathan Kemp of Westmont, Crichton is primed and ready to claim the top spot in the GSAC in the fast approaching conference championships. Freshman John Hurd ran well and achieved a new personal best of 9:52.39.
The second heat of the men's 5k proved to be an exciting race with senior Nathan Seyler leading the way for TMC. Carrying the race for the majority of its 12 & ½ laps, Seyler ran a big final 400m, creating separation between himself and the rest of the field. Crossing the line in 15:24, Seyler won the race and set a new lifetime best for 5000m.
Next on the schedule is Mt. SAC, April 19th and 20th, where the duo of Anthony Pizzo and John Gilbertson will represent the Mustangs among some of the most elite competition in the nation.

THE ENERGY Zone and the THOMAS centre are holding a guitar amnesty over the next four weeks, hoping to collect enough musical instruments to provide music lessons for men going through drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
THOMAS, based in France Street, takes people from within prison or hospital, through detox and residential rehabilitation, and provides holistic recovery services.
The Energy Zone has been hosting art classes for THOMAS' service users and organisers say they have been immeasurably popular as it allows them to 'express themselves in a medium other than words'.
Donna Talbot, project manager at The Energy Zone, said: "These lads can come in to the centre, feeling down but by the time they've finished their art, they have completely turned it around.
"A lot of the lads are interested in music and we really want to be able to provide that outlet for them but sadly, I'm not musical myself and so that's why we're appealing for help."
The Energy Zone will now act as a drop-off point for any unwanted guitars.
It is also appealing to any generous music teachers or guitarists to volunteer some time to work with the bunch of eager new students.
Donna added: "The benefits of music therapy are just astounding and it really does make a difference to people's lives.
"Instead of sitting around watching telly or being on their own, they will be working together, learning a new skill and expressing themselves."
To donate a guitar or to offer to teach, call Donna on 01254 291278 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

AMC Entertainment said it has entered into an agreement to buy four Rave Cinemas movie theaters, including the two in Baton Rouge.
AMC, based in Kansas City, Mo., would not disclose the purchase price for the theaters.
Along with the locations at the Mall of Louisiana and the Interstate 12-O'Neal Lane intersection, AMC will also get Rave theaters in Montgomery, Ala., and Destin, Fla.
Sun Dee Mills Larson, a spokeswoman for AMC, said in an email that the goal is to complete the acquisition by the end of the year. AMC plans to retain the staff at all of the Rave theaters it is purchasing.
Larson said she had no information as to if the theaters will retain the Rave name or if they will be rebranded as AMC screens.
AMC noted that of the 61 screens it is adding as part of the theater purchases, 46 percent are capable of showing 3D movies. Theaters charge moviegoers a few extra dollars for tickets to 3D and the large format IMAX screens.
AMC operates movie theaters in Hammond, Harahan, Harvey, Houma and Metairie, with a total of 68 screens in Louisiana. The Metairie and Harahan locations have IMAX screens, like the Rave at the Mall of Louisiana.
AMC operates 22 of the 50 highest-grossing movie theaters in the U.S. The company has about 340 theaters in 32 states and the District of Columbia.
Last week Rave announced a deal to sell 32 theaters to Cinemark USA for an estimated $240 million.
Cinemark has a theater in the Perkins Rowe development at Bluebonnet Boulevard and Perkins Road.
Rave Motion Pictures 16 at O'Neal Lane opened in March 2003, while the Rave Mall of Louisiana 15 opened in July 2006.
The mall theater added an IMAX screen, which opened in March 2011.

The lawyer for Kimberley Ultramarthon burns victim Turia Pitt is confident recent negotiations with the event organisers will lead to millions of dollars in compensation and avoid a distressing litigation process.
Greg Walsh, who also represents four men injured during the race, said discussions with RacingThePlanet two weeks ago were "constructive" and he was "reasonably positive" of negotiating compensation outside of court.
"It's in [RacingThePlanet's] interest and in the insurer's interest to do that because this litigation is going to be very hard fought and it's going to cost a lot of money," Mr Walsh said.
"Two weeks ago I had constructive discussions with them. I'm reasonably positive."
Ms Pitt, 24, is seeking between $8 million and $10 million – the upper end of compensation that can be sought via the civil legal process – to cover ongoing medical costs and loss of income after she suffered life threatening burns.
Ms Pitt and fellow ultramarthon participant Kate Sanderson, 36, each received burns to 60 per cent of their bodies when a fire swept through Tier Gorge about five hours into the 100-kilometre race on September 2 last year.
The state government on Tuesday announced it would make an "act of grace" payment of $450,000 each to the women.
But Tourism Minister Kim Hames said it did not mean the government accepted any legal, causal or moral responsibility to compensate the athletes.
"Moreover, the West Australian government rejects any contention that actions or conduct by any department or agency of the state in any way contributed to the injuries sustained by Ultramarathon participants," he said.
A damning parliamentary committee inquiry into circumstances that led to the tragedy found numerous government departments had failed to properly handle the event, including Tourism WA which provided sponsorship without requesting or properly assessing the event's risk management plan or confirming insurance policies were adequate.
Mr Hames said while he accepted the adverse findings against government agencies, none of the wrongdoings had "made any difference or would have contributed in any way" to the outcome.
He said the state solicitor's office had not recommended an extra-gratia payment but the government had decided to recognise the "severe distress and injury" suffered by Ms Pitt and Ms Sanderson.
Mr Hames said the payment also recognised the unlikelihood of successful court action against RacingThePlanet.
However, Mr Walsh said initial concerns that legal action would be too difficult because the organisers and insurer were located overseas could be overcome.
"That's not a problem, as far as I'm concerned," he said.
"RacingThePlanet should now stand up and ... resolve the case.
"Turia has gone through a horrendous experience, as has Kate, and I want to avoid any further stress and anxiety."
Mr Walsh said while the act of grace payment was "inadequate" in the context of Ms Pitt's needs, she appreciated any money that helped her receive further treatment.
Ms Sanderson's brother Ian said the payment was only one-tenth of the $4 million-plus his sister needed to cover her ongoing medical bills and the cost of moving to a specially modified home.
Other athletes injured during the race, including Michael Hull and Martin Van Der Merwe, will not receive any money from the government.
Mr Hames said while the government sympathised with the men their injuries were not sufficiently extraordinary.
"People are seriously injured in this state for a variety of reasons ... that doesn't make it the responsibility for the taxpayers of WA," he said.
The state opposition's Michelle Roberts said the act of grace payment was inadequate.
She claimed numerous athletes, including Ms Pitt, only entered the race because they were offered free entry to help the organisers reach a minimum of 40 participants and attract more funding from the government.
She said the government was liable for the tragedy because it had sponsored the event but failed to ensure it had the appropriate risk management plan and insurance information prior to making the sponsorship payment.
"The government is being mean spirited," Ms Roberts said.
RacingThePlanet's Mary Gadams has previously denied liability and told the parliamentary inquiry in a submission that it had taken reasonable steps to identify and reduce risks and maintain the safety of all involved.
Ms Gadams has not responded to inquiries.

Related story: Redlands Jo-Ann's employee terminated during cancer treatments
REDLANDS - A protest is planned today over the dismissal by Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft of a 20-plus year employee while on medical leave for breast cancer.
The protest is planned for this afternoon at the company's Redlands location at 1625 W. Lugonia Ave. in support of Deborah Browning, 60, of Highland, who was fired from her post as a customer service representative. She had been with the company since 1990.
Since word of her situation broke on Friday, it has gained the attention of many, including the NBC station in Los Angeles, which aired Browning's story on its 6 p.m. newscast.
In addition to media attention, there have been calls for a boycott of the company on several social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Browning said she was stunned by the response.
"When I got the call from Channel 4 news, I was in shock," she said. "I told (my sister), `Oh my God, I think we opened a can of worms.' And she said, `Well, Debbie, after 20 years and everything you've done, you didn't deserve this treatment. Anyone would want you for an employee."'
Browning's termination date was effective Nov. 9.
A spokesman for the company said the case is under review.
Highland resident and business owner Ben Munoz, also a cancer survivor, is spearheading today's protest.
"When I read (the story) that was linked on Facebook, I was overwhelmed with sadness. Plain sadness," he said. "We want to make it aware to the people what this company is doing wrong. This is a lady that has dedicated 20 years to a business and they put her away like that?"
Munoz said the protest is slated in the afternoon, but calls were still being made Friday to plan the effort.
He added that if the protest falls through today, he will plan another.
"And if it happens, we're going to do it again," he said. "It's wrong."
Munoz is encouraging those who wish to join the protest to contact him by phone at 909-519-3854 or find him on Facebook at facebook.com.
Browning began working for the company full time in February 1990 in Washington state at a subsidiary of the company, Beth's Fabric and Craft.
She moved to Highland in 2000 and began working for Jo-Ann's in San Bernardino until it closed and merchandise and staff was shifted to the Lugonia Avenue store in Redlands.
She was diagnosed in December 2011, several weeks after her hours were cut to 29 per week, and she lost her health benefits.
She went on medical leave in March.
Per company policy, the leave would continue up to 26 weeks, but the company would consider an extension of leave if appropriate documentation was provided.
Browning said she followed directions and kept the company in the loop as she continued to receive treatment, paid for by Medi-Cal.
She was still dismissed, Browning said.
"Our human resources team is in the process of reviewing this case," Beth L. Shivak, manager of corporate communications for the company, said in an email Tuesday. "The personal matters of our Team Members are treated with a high degree of confidentiality, so, at this time, we cannot discuss the details of this situation beyond that."
Browning still hopes to have her job waiting for her when she is approved to return to work by her doctor - she is still receiving 10 weeks of treatment as preventive care.
"I would like to keep the time I had, and the same pay. It's a hope, but we will have to see what happens," Browning said. "I was never late for work, I never called in sick. I went to work one time with a case of food poisoning, but it didn't hit me until I (arrived). I had my head in a trash can crying, `No, I can't go home - nobody else can close tonight.
"I just loved going to work."

Windows Mobile 7 is Zune, Mobile Xbox, and Phone in One Chic Package
Jason Mick
February 15, 2010 10:15 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Windows Mobile 7 offers a bright, fresh look that surprisingly bears no resemblance to the iPhone, unlike its competitors.
The new Windows Mobile 7, set to release this holiday season, essentially acts an Xbox handheld, a Zune video/music player, and phone rolled into one. The Music+Video hub looks almost identitcal to the Microsoft's Zune HD software.
(Source: Microsoft)
The phone also offers a clean, rich RSS-like social network feed akin to the new Google Buzz service.
(Source: Microsoft)
New mobile OS from Microsoft to launch this holiday season, hardware will be consistently high quality
There's a sort of beautiful symmetry in Microsoft's mobile phone operating system announcement which
aired today
at the 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Holiday season 2009 Microsoft unleashed Windows 7, a desktop operating system that turned people's preconceptions upside down and fueled
unprecedented sales
. This year it will look to do the same, with the release of
Windows Mobile 7
Forget the
talk of delays
(okay, so the OS will land
in 2011), forget all the complaints about the past Windows Mobile operating systems, forget Microsoft's
slipping market share
; you need to look at Windows Mobile with a fresh set of eyes because it is completely different.
The first surprise is in the base operating system. The past Windows Mobile operating system code base is about to become officially retired, relegated to some forgotten change management repository. In its place will be an entirely new mobile phone operating system built atop the existing OS on Microsoft's Zune MP3 players.
In that respect Windows Mobile 7 could be hailed as the long awaited "
Zune phone
" as it shares much of the look of the Zune, with bright, flat square icons, large text and nary a chiclet in site. The look provides the first true alternative to the iPhone (competitors like Palm and Google have largely emulated Apple's chiclet grid look) and will likely appeal to many customers.
Microsoft's phone is built around six key hubs -- People, Pictures, Games, Music+Video, Marketplace, and Office -- each a colorful and unique digital playground.
People will stream updates from Facebook and Windows Live, sort of like a RSS feed on steroids (or the recently unveiled
Google Buzz
). Despite the reinvention, people will find scraps of similarity; the Music+Video hub is virtually identical to the software on the Zune HD. It incorporates a music/video store, a media player, and mild social networking.
Games is another place people will find familiar looks. Games is essentially Microsoft's long awaited mobile Xbox handheld. With the iPhone tearing up game sales charts, its clear that this is long overdue.
Marketplace will be Microsoft's rival to the App store. Here's a surprise --
no past Windows Mobile apps will work on the phone or be in the store
. That's right, unlike some (Palm), Microsoft's OS reinvention includes wiping the slate clean with apps. That downside is that means less apps and some unhappy developers, the upside is that customers can expect cleaner, fresher applications. Another slight surprise is that there will be no desktop Syncing other than standard Zune syncing; everything else will be done over the air.
Office and Pictures are much like you'd expect -- a photo gallery, and a promising, improved portable version of Microsoft's Office software.
Another critical piece of the interface is the browser -- the browser will be a multi-touch version of Internet Explorer. While it's no shocker that it's not blazing fast given how slow its desktop brethren are, the browser still looks pretty nice. And you can bet Opera and Mozilla already have faster browsers in the works.
Email will be handled through a mobile Outlook client that looks to be a fusion of beauty and efficiency in a tight package. The client has full support for Microsoft Exchange.
Microsoft is opting for an approach somewhere in between Apple's as its past mobile phone approach when it comes to hardware. Previously it had virtually no restrictions. Now, it's being choosy. While it still is not designing the phone itself, it has made hardware guidelines extremely strict. Every phone must meet certain speed requirements, support multitouch, have a Bing button (for quick searching), have an FM radio built in, and meet battery life requirements. Certain alterations, such as custom skins (like HTC's), are banned.
In short Windows Mobile 7 looks to be another dynamic holiday launch for Microsoft. Former Microsoft VP Dick Brass (see his
recent criticism
) better be taking note -- because this new phone OS is arguably the most revolutionary thing to happen to the phone market since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007. Looks like Apple might finally have a true fight on its hands for the title of trendiest smart phone.
"Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town." -- Charlie Miller

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/12/2012 (1698 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In terms of its presence on TV in 2012, it could fairly be said Manitoba had a song in its heart, a jig in its step and doomsday-level danger in its not-too-distant post-apocalyptic future.
As a result, despite what seems like a contradictory collection of descriptors, it was a pretty entertaining year for locals who like to see their home province represented on the small screen.
Beyond our borders, 2012 was a better than average year for the tube, filled with the inevitable assortment of continuing excellence, new promise and old-favourite departures.
But mostly, this will be a year remembered for its heavy dose of on-screen local talent.
One of the biggest TV stories hereabouts happened early in 2012, when three talented teens from Sagkeeng First Nation, performing under the group moniker Sagkeeng's Finest, became the unlikely winners of Citytv's Canada's Got Talent. Vince O'Laney and brothers Brandon and Dallas Courchene topped a field of 12 finalists that included everything from rappers and country crooners to opera singers and circus performers, receiving the most votes from viewers nationwide and prompting CGT judge Martin Short to describe their act as "pure joy."
The Sagkeeng lads weren't the only locals to make an impact in the reality/competition genre. Winnipeg song-and-dance artist Colleen Furlan enjoyed an impressive run on the CBC series Over the Rainbow, which sought a new star for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Toronto production of The Wizard of Oz. While she fell short of winning the ruby slippers, her top-three finish showcased an enormous, promising talent and also demonstrated that Manitobans can mount an impressive campaign of support when a performer catches their interest and sparks their emotions.
On the other side of the TV fence -- scripted, fictional series as opposed to reality shows -- Manitoba had an equally interesting year. The biggest impact was delivered by Winnipegger Tracy Spiridakos, who was plucked from relative obscurity and cast as the lead actress in a U.S. network series that turned out to be one of prime time's best rookie offerings in 2012.
NBC's Revolution, which also airs on Citytv, is an intriguing speculative-fiction drama about a world without electrical power of any kind, but Spiridakos and co-star Billy Burke generated plenty of sparks as they fought their way across blacked-out America in search of her character's kidnapped younger brother.
Revolution was the highest-rated new drama of the fall season among the coveted 18-to-49 demographic, earning an early full-season pickup and distinguishing itself as the most PVR-ed new show of the year.
Still on the subject of bleak fictional futures, local product Sarah Sanguin Carter -- last seen alongside James Woods in the CBS drama Shark -- returned to TV in a series that made a big buzz (both literally and figuratively) on the sci-fi scene. Carter landed a co-starring role in Falling Skies, a Space import that stars ER alumnus Noah Wyle as the leader of a band of rebels trying to save the world from ugly-bug alien invaders.
All in all, a lot of small-screen entertainment provided by made-in-Manitoba talent.
In the broader TV landscape, small-scale U.S. cable outlet AMC probably had the biggest impact on prime time in 2012. Its roster of original series, led by Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead and The Killing, can rightly be considered on par with the scripted stables of premium-TV giants HBO and Showtime.
Also worthy of particularly high praise in 2012 was the U.S. public broadcaster PBS, which continued to earn raves for imported British fare, led by Downton Abbey and Sherlock and newcomer Call the Midwife. It also contributed two of the best showbiz-biography documentaries in recent memory when American Masters aired extensively detailed profiles of talk-show legend Johnny Carson and entertainment mogul David Geffen.
Prime time's rookie crop in 2012 was led by NBC's aforementioned Revolution, ABC's country-soap drama Nashville and Fox's sibling sitcom Ben and Kate, along with such made-for-cable fare as HBO's edgy post-Sex and the City comedy Girls and Julia Louis-Dreyfus's Emmy-calibre comedy Veep.
On the farewell front, 2012 was the year viewers said goodbye to ABC's Desperate Housewives, Fox's House and CTV's Flashpoint; each went out in a style that perfectly suited its prime-time character.
There's no doubt that 2013 will provide viewers with an equally mixed and interesting bag of TV tricks. One thing is certain: it'll take quite a convergence of Manitobans on the small screen for the New Year to match the local flavour that 2012 had to offer.

Alastair Cook is the right man to captain England in future despite the abject Ashes tour to Australia, Graham Gooch insisted on Wednesday.
Debate has raged on the future of the England team following the 5-0 Ashes whitewash and Andy Flower has already resigned as team director.
Cook's position has also come under scrutiny, but England batting coach Gooch has no doubts the 29-year-old is the right man for the job.
"I sincerely believe he is," said Gooch, who was speaking at Essex's Chelmsford ground as the county unveiled the 1EasyCall Stand and announced partnerships with ROL Cruise and Springfield Hospital.
"He's well respected. He will put his body on the line for his country.
"I don't see any reason why he will not be a successful leader again in the future.
"Yes, he needs to make improvements. Yes, he needs to look at things himself, the way he goes about things.
"But that's the same with any player, and any cricketer, throughout his career. They're always looking to upgrade and make improvements to themselves and the way they go about their cricket," added Gooch, himself a former England captain and Essex opener.
No doubt Cook is undergoing moments of introspection at his Bedfordshire farm after a calamitous series which was also the conclusion to Kevin Pietersen's controversial England career.
The England captain will have distractions before resuming international duty in the summer as his wife, Alice, is expecting their first child, due in March, and he is anticipated to feature for Essex early in the domestic season.
Gooch said: "I'm sure he'll have a good rest and I'm sure he'll look forward to coming back here and playing for Essex at the start of the season.
"He'll be committed to do well for Essex before the international season starts."

Anyone in the Lotteries on Sunday?
I've got 2 tickets in the huge "never" group. 619 folks vying for 35 spots. Or in another way, to start my 2 tickets will be in the bucket with the 1801 others (yes I put the list into Excel and summed them up).
I'm not holding out too much hope... but hey stranger things have happened.
Arkansas Traveler - Oct 7
I've got 5 tickets in the "everyone else" group. Looks like my odds are about 50/50.
Good luck on Sunday!!
Not me... I guess I should have thrown my name in. Not that I really want to run it in 2013, but it would get the ball rolling on that 2^N tickets thing. Too late now.

What do you think of the Anna Frost essay for entry without completing the bona fide qualifying standards?
What do you think of the Anna Frost essay for entry without completing the bona fide qualifying standards?
I haven't seen it, do you have a link?
I *think*, but am not positive, that the only person they have ever admitted w/o a qualifying race (ie, using their Qualifying Standard III) is Gerry Roach, of mountaineering fame.
I think she is great runner but she's never done anything over 100k, right?
Reading the comments, it sounds like they've let others besides Gerry qualify that way. (It is a legitimate way, in the rules, to qualify, I just didn't realize the BoD used it that often)
You'll ruin your knees!
I'm not holding out too much hope... but hey stranger things have happened.
Get in or not, there is no hope!
Good luck...

Hi Lynn, How's it going? See you at DN.
I hear ya... but if you get in it's more like panic.
As expected, didn't get thru the "never" lottery. Anyone know the "official whinning period" to whine about how low the odds were for the "never" category?
A friend of mine got in thru the "everyone else", so it looks like I'll be pacing at HR again next summer.
Sorry you didn't get in, Sandy.

There are two anniversaries approaching which began a total transformation of the Rangers' landscape.
One of them is tomorrow, July 15. The other is Aug. 28. Can you tell me what happened on either of those dates?
Reached out to some former Boneheads about guest posts. Sam Weinman (over in Scotland for the Open Championship) and Jane McManus (now at ESPN-NY) can't do it. But they both said to say Hi to you guys.
Josh Thomson, 26, will do one. I will have the schedule posted later today or tomorrow.
Also asked my former sports editor — don't want to use his name without permission, but he was in the big chair back when I was hired in the late 1970s and he was also the Rangers beat writer who gave me my start and so graciously gave me the opportunity later to do it on a full-time basis — if he'd be interested in posting. He lives in Florida and told me he's "the Delray Bonehead."
How about that?
AFTERNOON UPDATE, 4 P.M.: The Rangers just announced they've re-signed minor-league forward Brodie Dupont.

four of my pressure cookers and a steamer basket photo by vsimon
I know you want to. But it is scary. What if it does not like me back? What if it blows a gasket? Not to worry, modern pressure cookers have many safety features. You will not decorate your ceiling with the contents. And this will be the start of a satisfying, long lasting relationship.
Start with a first date.
Set a date, set aside some time. A half an hour of undivided attention is a great start. First, touch, feel and inspect your cooker. Remove the gasket, put it in again. Fiddle with the pressure gauge. Lock the lid, and feel the secure closure.
Take that first step. Cook water, just water. You cannot ruin water.
Get to know how your cooker handles pressure. Does a skinny column on the top pop up? Does a purple or yellow button raise? The directions will tell you, and you will know it when you see it.
Find out how little heat is needed to maintain pressure. Try different settings on your burner and see. Once it is at pressure, you may be surprised how little energy is required to keep it going.
Try several ways to relieve pressure. Turn off the burner, and let it go slowly. Or run cold water over the cooker to drop the pressure quickly. Is there a quick release button? (This is pretty drastic, I avoid these.)
Think about all the things you can create with your pressure cooker. Look below to see a partial list of what I make.
Is there potential here? Was it a great first date?
What are you looking for in a pressure cooker?
Assess your situation and desires. Are you a family of 1 or 10? Do you want to cook beans? Do you want the option of a quick release of pressure?
Based on 10 years of pressure cooking, hundreds of recipes, with 6 different pressure cookers, I have some favorites. A 6 quart, stovetop, thick bottomed, stainless steel cooker is the place to start.
For most, a 6 quart cooker is the best size. I have one 8 quart size, that I use when making a big batch of bean soup. But the 6 quart size works just fine with 1 pound of dry beans or spilt peas. Or up to 4 pounds of meat. A 4 quart cooker is too limiting as the only cooker in a household.
I prefer stove top cookers because they can go to the sink and get a bath of cold water. Pressure drops in just a few seconds.
Electric cookers have their place, and I use one. They can be programmed to cook for a certain time. You load, lock the top, and set the timer. On their own, they come to pressure, cook for the allotted time, then stop cooking. Admittedly, that is easy.
But they cannot take a bath, a serious draw back for me. That means I cannot cook things that take just a few minutes, then need to cool down quickly. Like potato salad. The potatoes would get way overdone, way too mushy.
Now to the thick bottomed part of the recommendations. I started with an inexpensive Presto cooker. And burned lots of stuff in it. You cannot stir things in a locked cooker. And a thick bottom makes all the difference.
And invest in a stainless steel model. It can be used on any cook top, including induction. Aluminum cannot. And cooking in aluminum is no fun, sometimes your food turns out gray. 🙁
I have short handles and long handled cookers (see the picture above). Long handled ones are a lot easier to open.
Presto cookers have a noisy, rattley top. It is annoying to listen to when it is up to pressure.
Some cookers come as a set. Additional non-pressure lids are useful, so you can use the cooker as a traditional pot. Even after all these years, I don't use the little steamer baskets some sets have. I do like a bigger pasta insert though. Not for pressure cooking, but when using the pot unpressured. And I like having several sizes of cookers. But these are not necessary.
You might be able to find pressure cookers locally. Often you cannot. I have a few listed in our Kitchen Store.
I have been happy with Fagor, T-fal, Cooks Essentials, and Kuhn Rikon brands. I have not reviewed specific models available now because they are different than my older versions.
Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers are pricy. But they have great customer service. They come with a 10 year guarantee. After almost 10 years of nearly daily use in our personal chef business, the bottom of my cooker separated. I was not sure I could produce the receipt, and maybe I registered the cooker when I bought it. Kuhn Rikon replaced the whole pot (not the lid) without any difficulty.
And I have replaced gaskets for numerous cookers over the years. They wear out and the cooker won't hold pressure as well. I order them over the internet.
What do I make in my pressure cookers?
Here is a just a small listing:
Greek Lemon Chicken Soup
White Chicken Chili
Mexican Beef Stew
Peninsula Cranberry Pot Roast
BBQ Country Ribs
Pork Chops with Herb Gravy
Pork Chops Marsala
Green Bean and Potato Salad
Fruited Wild Rice
Whole Grain Rice, Chicken and Grape Salad
Split Pea Soup
Rice Pudding
And many more dishes, you get the idea. I use my pressure cookers nearly every day. You will too when you fall in love with them.
Please tell us what you make, or would like to make in a pressure cooker. See the poll in the right side bar. Or please leave a comment.

The famous Brazilian footballer Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, also known as Kaka, says that even at the age of 12 he knew "that it is faith that decides whether something will happen or not."
At the age of 18 Kara, a devout believer, had an accident in a swimming pool and broke a vertebra. Kaka criticizes the doctors who said it was a matter of luck that he could walk normally, and says that he and his family regarded the situation as a blessing from Allah: "They [the doctors] were talking about luck, and my family was talking about God. We knew that it was His hand that had saved me."
Kaka has the words "God is faithful" stitched on his clothes and says, "My family and my belief in God … are the things which determine my life. I do want to live my life in the right way and live my life close to God."
It is most important for one to trust in the infinite might of Allah and to live in the awareness that it is Allah Who creates all things. Almighty Allah reveals in the Qur'an that all things happen under His control:
[He is] the Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Surat al-Baqara, 117)2009-01-16 00:00:00

Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 better on the Nintendo Wii U? Find out here.
The Finite Playlist = 20 games in 40 minutes. A weekly podcast from veteran games journos Chet Roivas and Jon Denton.
From a technical standpoint no. I've yet to see for myself, but the game runs best on the 360 from what I hear. I own the Wii U version and it runs almost as well as the 360 versions as the previous iterations I've tried out. The only problem is the framerate dips in one or two parts of the campaign and there's some lag when playing online (though my connection isn't the best, so I attest it more to my router than the Wii U).
Even if it's not the definitive version, it's still a perfectly viable option for Wii U owners as long as they can ignore the rare framerate dips. It's honestly no worse than what PS3 owners get.
New controller in wich you can play with another person in different screens, and access to your inventory, kill streaks and map faster than every other version: Overruled.
Now that we ignored the selling factor, we can be honest: If you have enough money, you can have the best version, and play in three screens with 120+ FPS, using a mouse and a keyboard.
Unless suddenly technical standpoint in PC is overruled too. In that case, you can only say "the version I bought for the console I own is the best".
Problem solved. Unless you're in N4g. Oh, wait. Damn.

MISSING Rui Li was last seen by her daughter before disappearing overnight.
Teenager Lu Yao saw her mother late on the evening of Friday, May 23, but the 44-year-old nurse has not been seen since.
Concerned police launched a murder investigation just hours after Ms Li was reported missing on Tuesday morning based on "information received".
However, there have been no sightings of her since that night.
Officers investigating her disappearance called a press conference at Poole Police Station to appeal for more information.
They are particularly interested in finding out more about a Ford Transit Connect van, registration HD53 FCG, believed to have been travelling to the Watford area on the morning of Saturday, May 24.
Detective Superintendant Kevin Connolly said Ms Li was seen leaving Poole Hospital at 6.15pm on Friday, and then again at her home address of Burnham Drive in Bournemouth by her daughter.
"There have been absolutely no sightings or contact with Rui Li since that time," he said.
"Rui Li is a nurse, and is very reliable with excellent timekeeping. She has never disappeared before. Her disappearance is completely out of character."
He added: "Since that moment, we have not heard from her, nobody has spoken to her, she has not phoned anyone, she has not had any contact with work colleagues - she has basically disappeared completely."
A statement from Lu Yao was read aloud at the conference.
It reads: "The last time I saw my mum, she looked happy and was smiling - talking about my studies.
"My mum is a very conscientious and caring nurse and never lets anyone down. She is a very loving mum, supporting me with my studies from when I came to the UK from China.
"She prides herself on her timekeeping and my mum has never gone missing before."
She added: "Mum, if you're safe and just want to get away please just let us know you are ok.
"If anyone knows where my mum is, please tell the police."
Can you help the police to find Rui Li?
Det Supt Connolly said he is appealing for anyone with information to contact police.
Officers are particularly looking for:
· Anyone who knows Ms Li and has any information about her whereabouts, or who has seen her, since she left work at Poole Hospital on Friday evening
· Anyone who lives in the area of the addresses currently being investigated by police and who noticed anything suspicious, particularly in the early hours of Saturday morning
· Anyone with information about the Ford Transit Connect van
· Anyone living or working in the area of the addresses being investigated who may have seen any unattended vehicles parked outside their home or business
