As Valentine's Day rolls around again, many couples will find themselves in the same old flowers-and-dinner routine.
There are many places around the Valley that offer something a little different this year, whether for first dates or long-married couples. Here are some to think about:
1. Romance in the Garden: On Feb. 16, the Desert Botanical Garden is hosting a candlelit outdoor concert by Chris Burton Jácome Flamenco Ensemble. Dinner, wine flights and bottles of champagne are available. Can't celebrate on Thursday? Take Saturday to hear sexy music under the stars with a glass of wine.
Ullman Terrace, 6-9 p.m. Dinner tickets must be purchased ahead. 480-481-8188
2. Chocolate Affaire: From Feb. 8-10, experience downtown Glendale's festival of chocolate, wine and romance. Watch chocolatiers making their specialties and sample treats like chocolate-covered bacon. Bring the kids for crafts and rock-climbing, and take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage through the historic district.
Starts Friday at 5 p.m. Park in garages at 59th Ave & Glenn Dr.
3. Citrine Natural Beauty Bar: Fragrances definitely play a big part in everyone's Valentine's Day. Melissa at Citrine will take time to blend you a customized fragrance from the purest organic essential oils. Ingredients like Somalian Frankincense and Egyptian Jasmine are aphrodisiacs, or try a blend that matches your astrological sign.
At UNION Biltmore. 602-955-2354. Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun. 12 p.m.-6 p.m.
4. Picasso at the Lapin Agile: Written by Steve Martin, this play is being performed by the Brelby Theatre Company in Glendale. Think Einstein and Picasso at a Paris café in 1904, add Steve Martin's intelligent humor, a special cameo and great acting, and you have an idea of what to expect.
7:30 p.m. Thurs-Sat through Feb. 23. Tickets $20. Brelby.com. 6839 N. 58th Ave.
5. The Spouse Whisperer: If you're looking for laughs, head over to Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino to hear Mark Cordes' tongue-in-cheek, sharp-witted humor about marriage and middle age. This hysterical look at couples' life is a great change of pace for Valentine's Day.
Ovations LIVE! Showroom, 7:15 p.m. Tickets $15. 877-840-0457
6. Roka Akor: While prix-fixe menus are a staple of many V-Day dinners, this one stands out. Items like wild boar bacon, lobster tartare and mushroom tempura will be served in three seatings: 5, 7 and 9 p.m. Voted one of the top ten sushi restaurants in the U.S., Roka Akor is an excellent date spot as well as a culinary destination. This menu will be served through the 16th if you can't make it Thursday.
$98 per person. 7299 N. Scottsdale Rd. 480-306-8800
7. The Bassics of Love: On the 14th, the ASU Kerr Cultural Center is featuring Chunyang Wang, who studied at Julliard and played in the New York Asian Symphony Orchestra. Wang will perform timeless classics from Rachmaninov, Mozart and Piazzolla on double bass and piano.
7:30 p.m. Tickets from $10.50: vip.me/AAMOdCWkHBM. 6110 N. Scottsdale Rd.

I cannot move div by A, W, D, S keys: http://jsfiddle.net/8Observer8/mHAHz/128/
Thank you!
1) You don't match the right keys. It might be browser specific, not sure with jQuery, but mine are different than what you input.
2) You do
instead of
Gotta match the class, not a
3) You need to add a 'position' attribute to the square's css properties.
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/mHAHz/130/
@thetenfold ;
Thank you very much! How to move continuously (very fast and continuously)?
What do you mean continuously? back and forth? Use window.setInterval to find when it gets to either side and have it fade the opposite way.
I want to move div how a "small car".
I think this div needs to be moved like Link in Legend of Zelda. So instead, he probably needs to listen for repeated key events as the key is held down (the key keeps making new events while it is held down?).
Probably the script is slow because for each key it's findgin .square again and again. It should be faster if .square is found once and saved into a variable. Before document.onkeydown event listener.
Thank you very much! This is the example from your link: http://jsfiddle.net/bDMnX/7/ I wanted to make this. Thanks!

Nevertheless, there's been a lot of stuff to cover from a more industry perspective(perhaps less around devices), various SoCs, architectures etc, I was wondering if there would be a new podcast once you guys are back from MWC to do a more "traditional" podcast spanning 90+ minutes. They are a goldmine and some of the best in-depth tech talk out there. Reply

gregounech - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkSame here, a full featured audio only podcast is what you guys do best as far as giving us some insight into the industry and what you are doing to get things moving in the right direction whereas articles rarely achieve this goal (it provides us with some different kind of info which is still very interesting of course).

Now that that is out of the way I wanted to bring your attention to a great series of posts over at the ARM Mali blog that has some pretty interesting tidbits.

Shocking result was that tegra3 didn't do fp32 and had some weird intermediate implementation between 16 and 32. Reply

Things That Gain from Disorder
By Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Random House, 518 pages, $33
IF modernity can be characterized in part by a tendency toward ordering, prediction and systematization, then it is little wonder that Nassim Nicholas Taleb displays a marked fondness for ancient writers.
Best known for his 2007 book The Black Swan, an investigation of low-probability, high-impact events, the Lebanese-American author and academic again mixes formal philosophy with on-the-street pragmatism.
The "antifragile" is anything, according to Taleb, that improves from shocks, random stressors or a lack of information. This is in contrast to the fragile or robust, which are either hurt or remain unchanged in response to pressures.
Taleb, a former trader who became independently wealthy during the 2008 financial crisis, is able to speak with authority on fragile systems.
His overarching goal is to encourage the development of systems that do not require faultless prediction but instead operate under opaque conditions. Without regard for traditional disciplinary boundaries, Taleb traverses biology, architecture, business, economics and medicine in his endeavour to identify and rectify hidden fragilities.
There is much to appreciate here. At its best, Antifragile is a plea for radical honesty: to see the world as it is, not how we wish it to be, and to acknowledge the limits of our ability to definitively identify and control the random. Antifragile presents both pragmatic and theoretic discussion, and the chapter on ethics is particularly powerful.
Taleb makes a very convincing case for adopting an antifragile perspective in the realms of medicine, biology and economics. Consider the abundance of information on health and medical treatments available to the average person. Taleb argues that this has lead not to improvements but to over-intervention with unforeseen, often dangerous side-effects.
His solution is simple and elegant: reserve treatment for severe cases with obvious, definitive benefits and allow the body's own resources to address less significant illnesses. A very similar argument is found in other areas. Not surprisingly, Taleb is against governments stabilizing faltering businesses, preferring to let the stronger, more competitive survive.
At times it becomes difficult to maintain enthusiasm reading Antifragile. At over 500 pages, one gets the sense that a crisper, leaner version might be less repetitive and more engaging.
Taleb's abundant sense of humour helps, but an element of self-indulgence remains. This too is evident in the degree of self-reference. The reader, whether interested or not, will learn much about Taleb's personal preferences and idiosyncrasies.
Off-the-cuff attacks on both specific people and generalized fields abound. Taleb is never shy of leading with his chin, even if this risks pettiness or reductive thinking.
Problematic too is the lack of footnotes. There are literally dozens of claims on everything from the health effects of bicycling to cultural practice that are not easily verified.
Considering the breadth of Taleb's argument, it is interesting that he never hits upon language as one of the most antifragile systems. Nevertheless, Antifragile is a powerful, persuasive work by a writer who is clearly well-read and possessed of diverse interests.
It is at times a slog and the reader will learn far more about Taleb's antipathies than they might wish, but will also find a window opened to seeing the world from a fascinating perspective that is, one hopes, more resilient in the face of the random and unexpected.

A POPULAR post office has relocated and found a new home inside a busy convenience store.
Steven and Catherine Bindon, owners of Steve's Shop in Manor Road, Charfield have taken on the responsibility of running a post office counter in their shop after the local long-standing postmaster retired.
Their predecessor was John O'Neill, a South Gloucestershire ward councillor for Charfield, ran the former post office on Wotton road for 20 years.
He closed its doors on February 28 and Mr and Mrs Bindon installed a post office counter in Steve's Shop, which is celebrating 26 years in business this year, that weekend.
The post office counter opened on Monday, March 3.
Speaking to the Gazette Mrs Bindon said: "The post office is going through a huge period of change. We wanted to make it more accessible for people. The old post office was open from 9am to 5pm but this is not the way forward. The post office is now going to be open for longer hours. It will operate the same hours as Steve's Shop which opens from 6am to 9pm seven days a week."
Mrs Bindon said she was settling into the role as postmistress, but it was taking some getting used to.
"It's been what they call a baptism of fire. This first week has been tough. As we are finding out feet things are calming down. It's been a massive learning curve," she said.
Mrs Bindon said the idea for locating the post office in Steve's Shop was the brainchild of local residents.
She said: "People asked us 'have you ever thought of having a post office in here?'. There was the possibility that we were going to lose the post office altogether and that people would have to drive to Wotton to send letters. We felt very strongly that we wanted to keep it here."
The post office counter at Steve's Shops means that people will not have to travel outside of Charfield to run simple postal errands.
"People will be able to do 90 per cent of the things they did when John had the post office," said Catherine.
Mr Bindon added: "We've been a lot busier. It's going to take some time to get used to but we'll get there in the end."
Mr O'Neill said he wished the Bindons every success in their new adventure.
"They know where I am if they need me. It's a lot to take in and a huge adjustment but they will settle into the job soon enough," he said.
Services that are provided include bill payments, first and second class mail, special delivery, stamps and currency exchange. Car tax can also be paid in cash, by cheque or debit card at the counter.

The corn market seems to benefiting from spillover strength. Although seasonal pressure stemming from the ongoing harvest is probably weighing upon corn futures, prices rose modestly Monday morning. That very likely represented a response to strength spilling over from the soy complex. December corn futures edged up 1.5 cents to $4.3475/bushel by late Monday morning, while May added 1.75 cents to $4.5625.
Rumors of Chinese buying reportedly boosted the soy complex Monday. Although there has been no official news during the government shutdown, persistent rumors of Chinese buying are apparently pushing soybean and product prices to start the week. Ideas that last Friday's drop was overdone may also be encouraging buyers. November soybeans bounced 10.5 cents to $12.7725/bushel in Monday morning trading, while December soyoil gained 0.13 cents to 40.41 cents/pound, and December soymeal climbed $5.5 to $408.9/ton.
Wheat futures proved surprisingly weak Monday morning. The wheat market moved generally lower in early-week trading, with wire service sources citing a lack of news on the export front. However, a private source boosted its estimate of forthcoming Western Australia production about 800,000 tonnes or 6.6% early this morning, which seemingly sparked the subsequent decline. December CBOT wheat was flat at $6.9225/bushel around midsession Monday, while December KCBT wheat sagged 0.75 cent to $7.595, and December MGE futures slumped 0.5 cent to $7.5425.
Friday evening cash strength boosted cattle futures today. CME traders were reportedly expecting country cattle to trade at steady-higher levels Friday evening. Indeed, fed cattle prices apparently surged to $128/cwt (cents/pound) later that day. Those bullish expectations apparently limited the futures response this morning. December cattle futures rallied 0.45 cents to 132.92 cents/pound by late Monday morning, while April advanced 0.22 to 135.50. Meanwhile, November feeder cattle gained 0.25 cents to 169.52 cents/pound, and January ran up 0.30 to 169.05.
The hog market moved mostly lower this morning. Growing anticipation of a fall surge in hog supplies may be exerting persistent downward pressure upon CME hog prices at this point. Mixed cash calls and rising cattle prices probably limited the pressure, but there are strong reasons behind the hog and pork complex's history of major losses at this time of year. December hog futures dipped 0.17 cents to 86.32 cents/pound around lunchtime Monday, while April declined 0.25 cents to 89.60.

Reviews of this property
We werden hartelijk ontvangen door vrienden van de verhuurder. Het appartement zag er prima, schoon en ruim uit. We hadden meer dan genoeg ruimte voor ons tweeën en voelden ons meteen thuis. Winkels zijn in de buurt en het openbaar vervoer is om de hoek. Een heerlijke plek om thuis te komen na een dag sightseeing in Budapest. Al met al helemaal super.
Sehr schöne, gepflegte Wohnung im 2. Stock,die auf dem Naphegy liegt. Lage super. 2 Haltestellen von Pester Stadtzentrum. Die Wohnung hat Blick auf den hinteren Teil des Schlosses und Blick in die Stadt. Man sieht Hotels an der Donau und das Vigado und die Zitadelle von der Terrasse. Wenn mit Auto kommt, muss man Parkgebühren zahlen.
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön eingerichtet.
Zsolt ist ein sehr sympatischer,netter Gastgeber.
The flat was really spacious, nice, peaceful and clean. All equipment functioned well. View from balcony was to Gellert-mountain, and between the trees the Pest side of city could be partly seen. It was very quick and easy commuting back and forth to city centre. Zsolt was available and answered all our questions friendly and was in all ways helpful. Wifi funtioned in part of the flat, the signal was strongest in the kitchen. Because of the extremely hot weather air conditioning was very useful although it was only in the bedroom. Easy to recommend!
Kan kun på det varmeste anbefale denne lejlighed og denne udlejer.
Zsolt er meget venlig, og han sørgede for at vi følte os velkommen, lejligheden levede til fulde op til beskrivelsen, central beliggende, men dog forholdsvis roligt kvarter, i gå afstand (5 min.) fra Borghøjen og kun to busstop fra centrum i Pest.
Beautiful spacious apartment, very well equipped, in quiet neighbourhood, supermarket at 5 minutes walking distance and in easy reach to city center (bus stop around the corner, only 2 stops to metro station) and nice view on Gellert Hill. During our stay it was very hot but the balcony was a good place to relax. A perfect ''home'' for your trip to Budapest. Zsolt is a very kind host, very accurate, reliable and has a good sense of hospitality.
Franca & Ton
This beautiful appartement keeps all promises !!!
Or to use a british phrase:
It s an accommodation to feel as snug as a bug in a rug ;o)
Literally everything you could need during a stay - either for holiday or for working - is available in the flat.
You don t need to care about any domestic stuff.
The flat is fuel of light and has a comfortable size.
Especially the terrace with a marvelous view on the Pest site, the Citadelle and the National Gallery is an axtra highlight - I really enjoyed this view every single night!
The bus stations are located next to the house. There is one busline which connects you directly to Keleti train station (only 20 min) and several bus lines which are driving every 6 minutes to Ferenciek ter (Metro connection).
So I ve needed not more than 15 minutes on my daily way to the office next to Dózsa György Ut.
Takeover / handover off the residence worked very well.
The appointements have been complied. The introduction left no open question.
Towels, bedlinen was prepared and let you feel welcome.
TV, SAT, Wifi - all worked well and gave me to many options of amusement ;o)
Zsolt was reachable and helpful on every day-/nighttime over my 10 days stay - it was a pleasure to communicate with him.
It s my actual want to recommend this lovely apartment !
warm regards
Reviews for this host's other properties
A lovely flat, very cosy, lots of amazing music to listen to. Close enought to the city centre. The smell of gas outside the flat in the corridor was a bit disturbing. Zsolt was very helpful and everything worked as planned.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Cozy, well-kept apartment for two with nice green neighbourhood, you feel like at home. It is really a heart of Buda. 5 min from two metro/tram/bus stations. Very good contact with the owner and his friends at the place. We surely recommend this place for people who will feel the original atmosphere of the Budapest :)
- Quality assured accommodation

Final Results (PDF)
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Penn junior Olivia Chang shot 76-75--151 to finish as co-medalist at the ECAC Championships, a 36-hole tournament that took place Friday and Saturday at the Twisted Dune Golf Course.
Chang shared the honor with Dartmouth's Sarah Knapp, who carded 78-73 to get her 151. They were atop the leaderboard in a 54-player field. For Chang, it was her first tournament title as a collegian.
"I am so proud of Olivia and Amanda for their solid play at ECACs," said Head Coach Mark Anderson. "This is Olivia's first collegiate win, and she has worked hard to earn it. We worked on a swing change that would allow her to be more consistent and hit more fairways and greens. She was very solid during both rounds, leading the team in fairways hit and greens in regulation. She has also worked on her mental game, focusing more on the process of executing each shot with confidence that the result."
As a team, Penn finished fourth out off 11 teams. The Quakers had a first-round 316 on Friday and followed up with a 322 on Saturday to finish the event at 638. Boston University won the team title, shooting a two-round 631 which was two strokes ahead of second-place Hartford. Sacred Heart (637) was third, one stroke ahead of the Quakers. Dartmouth, the only other Ivy League team in the field, shot 647 as a squad and placed sixth.
Sophomore Amanda Chin was right behind the winning duo; she shot 77-75--152 and tied for third along with Sacred Heart's Malin Wallheede. Senior Isabel Han carded 78-84--162 and tied for 20th in the field, while Allison Oakes shot 85-88-173 to place 37th and Libby Hooton shot 86-88--174 to tie for 38th.
Penn's final fall tournament will take place Oct. 20-21 at Sacred Heart University.

By Samuel Frere-Holmes
On Thursday, July 3, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the unemployment data for the month of June. Although the overall unemployment rate changed for the better, dropping to 6.1% on the back of 288,000 new jobs, youth unemployment revealed itself as a lasting problem.
In contrast to the general trend, the jobless rate of Americans aged 16-19 increased, from 19.2% to 21.0%.
Youth unemployment is a pressing issue and obstacle to economic stimulation. Especially at ages where jobs come at a premium, the longer one goes without being employed, the less time one has to acquire vital skills for the workplace, and for business relations in general. Without such aptitude, the likelihood down the road that said individual will become a participating member of the economy or find an appealing job gradually decreases.
As Will Stone points out, these trends could have "ripple effects for decades to come not only for young people's lifelong earning potential but also for their contributions to the tax base and the strength of the U.S. economy overall."
As American youth are inevitably curtailed in their economic expansion down the line, so is the rest of America, and the negative effects on young people will translate to dimmed economic output across the board.
The potential negative effects are perfectly summarized by Christina Gagnier in a recent Huffington Post piece, as the points out that, "The inability to find work impacts the ability to meet financial obligations and save for the future, delaying purchases and investments that propel our economy forward."
Although Gagnier is referring to negative effects on the 16-19 year olds, a general postponement of American economic progress will see a lag in investments and purchases on the whole.
At the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, we have spent the past 26 years investing in teaching workplace skills such as opportunity recognition and flexibility, teaching the youth vital skills to help them navigate their jobs and the American economy.
"Today's high unemployment is a ticking economic and social time bomb," said Amy Rosen, President and CEO of NFTE. "Without jobs, young people miss learning vital jobs skills and engaging the economy productively. With more than one in five American young people looking for work, it's more essential than ever that we teach and empower them to be entrepreneurs so they can make their own jobs and even hire their friends."

MediBac Clearing® controls acne without compromising skin's integrity, which means skin is clearer and healthier.
Dermalogica's MediBac Clearing® system is formulated specifically to treat adult acne. Each product, with its unique acne-fighting and clearing ingredients, is designed to be layered upon the skin to provide around-the-clock, maximum control of the main factors that contribute to acne.

Nice travel size!
Comments about mediBac clearing skin kit:
I feel like it is doing something to my skin but I'm just not seeing a difference. The acne isn't leaving.
Comments about mediBac clearing skin kit:
For years, I've struggled with acne. Now, I'm 27 and still experience it. I've heard SO many good things about dermalogica, so I decided I'd finally give it a try. I've been using it for a while now and my face continues to break out ALL over, frankly, it's gotten worse. The acne I had when I began using the product hasn't even disappeared. My cheeks have even begun to break out now, which has never been a problem for me. I'm really disappointed that I spent so much on this, but am at least glad I didn't spend for the full sized products.
Comments about mediBac clearing skin kit:
I'm 38 this year and started having acne problems for the first time in my life the last 3 months. It started with a few persistent ones and soon they were popping up randomly around my face. Dalacin and antibiotics could not control or treat the acne so I had to look for alternatives. After using the breakout control recommended by my spa therapist, I found Dermalogica products to be very effective and decided to try this. I've been using this kit for about 3-4 weeks now. The acne has almost completely cleared and my skin is returning to its previous condition ie. smoother, smaller pores and fewer tiny bumps. There's a bit of acne scarring which always happens on my skin (especially for large acne) but I know it will clear up given time. For now, I'll continue using this to control the acne as well as look for something to speed up the recovery/treatment of acne scarring.
Comments about mediBac clearing skin kit:
I use the products as directed and have seen amazing results. I hardly have any acne. Maybe a small spot but if I use the product the blemish disappears the next day.
Comments about mediBac clearing skin kit:
I have used a variety of dermalogica products from moisturizers, face masks and exfoliants. I have been satisfied with everything I have purchased so far. It is a bit pricey but it's worth the cost. The clearing kit is very gentle on face, great for sensitive skin.
Comments about mediBac clearing skin kit:
I've been trying to find products that work and contain no alcohol. This does both!

Do you have questions about this product?
Get answers from Dermalogica Skin Therapists and our community.
Q:im 16 years old would I be able to use this product in contrast to the teen acne kit or will it affect me ?
1 answer
A:Hi Dayana,
Q:I have dry, sensitive (can't use benzoyl peroxide), acne prone (at least one new breakout everyday), nursing a 3 week old. I'm 30, have cystic acne around my chin, blackheads and whiteheads. Everything I've been prescribed is too harsh and causes more breakouts. Is this product the right one for me? I'm desperate
1 answer
Q:Skin purging ?: I've been using this kit for roughly a week now and i've noticed that my skin has felt better. However i've had a lot of little pimples come up in that time. typically they last 1-3 days and are smaller than i'm typically used to. Is this what you call your skin purging in that the products are brining all the impurities to the surface or is this something that could be a permanent thing ?
1 answer
Q:What moisturizer should be used with this system?: I went to a facial therapist who recommended this system but didn't prescribe a moisturizer!
2 answers
A:Thank you for your inquiry. Active Moist is an oil free moisturizer and will help to hydrate your skin without causing breakouts. If you have very oily skin we suggest using Oil Control Lotion. This moisturizer is very light weight and will help to absorb excess oil.

There is so much knowledge right here in our SitePoint community that it really does seem criminal to waste it. For that reason, we've been working on an idea to harness some of that knowledge and put it to good use. And eureka - we've decided to try and write a collaborative book. (I must admit, the idea wasn't mine - we have Alex Dawson to thank for it).
A team of keen staff have had their heads together for a while now drafting up a bit of a process that we think might make this project work. So here it is in a nutshell.
How will it be structured?We're looking for article length pieces on your subject of choice -- which when collaborated will hopefully result in a patchwork of fun and interesting 'stuff'. Any subject is welcome within the web design / development field whether theoretical or practical. We've compiled a list of subjects (below) to give you some ideas, but feel free to stray if you feel that you have something else to say that is relevant and of interest.
How you structure your contribution is entirely up to you. You might want to write a tutorial, a tips and tricks style article or a thought provoking piece. The main requirement is that it be unique, interesting and fresh (not just remixing existing material).
Who can take part?Anyone can have a shot provided they have a good handle on the English language and they know their subject well.
Where can I sign up?If you would like to take part, put your name down in this thread, along with a rough title for your piece and a brief explanation (so that we don't get duplicates). The subjects are broad so several submissions may fall under one category.
We are allowing one month for signing up and three for submitting your work. That means that you must sign up by Friday 9 July and submit your draft by Friday 8 October.
Once you're happy with your draft you can email it to email@example.com.
At this stage we are planning on producing the book in PDF format with the option to print on demand.
Contributors will get a free PDF of the book and will be allowed to write a very brief self-promotional bio. They'll also be able to claim to be a published SitePoint author.
It is important to note that while this is a community project, the book will be published under the SitePoint brand so we ultimately have the right to veto contributions and to edit accepted contributions in any way deemed necessary.
If we have too many submissions in one section we reserve the right to reject some drafts after submission. The material will be returned to you to use as you see fit.
So here is that list:
General Internet:
Planning Website:
Getting Online:
Content creation:
General Design:
Web coding:
Ill definitely watch out for your ajax articles
Above is my bread and butter. I'd like to talk about HTML5 and CSS3 if chosen for either. I also do photography.
Also, I note that CSS has been largely ignored so far. In addition to the above, I would like to write a mini-CSS reference with succinct examples and explanations of selectors, specificity and inheritance.
Hi - I just heard about the community book from the Sitepoint Facebook page. If it's not too late, I'd love to write about: Interaction Design, User-experience Design and the Psychology of Design.
I wrote an university paper earlier this year on the Gestalt Principles of perception and how they can be applied to interface design, and I'd love to include some of the material I wrote then. I would also like to cover visual metaphors and the power of affordance in visual interface design.
It is about time I updated you all on this anyway (sorry Coyote - for the record, your article is great and yes, you are being included).
We have 12 excellent submissions and 5 on the way. They are all going through a first round of reviews before being submitted for editing. You will be hearing from us shortly if you have submitted.
We do still have space for more articles if people are prepared to get writing immediately.
ucomeau, that subject is definitely open and we would love you to submit. Do you think you could get something written up within 2 weeks?
Would love to be involved with this. Specifically:
* Domain names - good naming processes and dns
* Self-hosting - server setup/vps etc
* Apache Setup - virtualhosting/log analysis
* Web Standards (W3C, Validation)
* Debugging Code (Browser Bugs)
* Frameworks (CSS)
* Markup Languages (XHTML, HTML5, XML, RSS, Microformats, Sitemap)
* MetaData Languages (Robots.txt)
* Stylesheet Languages (CSS)
* Database (mySQL)
* Client-side (JavaScript)
* Server-side (PHP)
* General Writing
* Copywriting
* CMS systems
* Social Media
* Online/Offline Advertising - general
* Online/Offline Marketing - general
* SEO / SEM (Searches) - general
* SMM / Social Networks - facebook/twitter/linkedin
* CRM integration - salesforce
* Email Marketing
Its a fair list I know and I won't be able to write everything under the sun but would like to offer my services.
One of the suggested categories is Social Networking, and—so far as I know—no one is currently writing on that topic, so this sounds perfect. I'm sure that Sarah (Hawk) will contact you though to confirm.
How long should the article be, and what's the timeline?
As Robert said, 1500–5000 words is the ideal. I don't think a firm timeline is set, because this is a unique undertaking, but I would suggest getting started straight away. If you are confident with your subject, I would suggest aiming to have it done in a week or two. (Once I finally got around to starting mine, it took about a week.) But again, see what Sarah has to say, as none of this is really for me to say.
According to today's Community Crier newsletter #175, you still have some space left for a few more submission... could you possibly confirm this? I just heard of the project and would love to contribute at least one article!
Just sent you guys an email as well in case that's faster... hopes hopes hopes that submissions can still be made
xhtmlcoder: The next step is that anyone who has signed up to participate should either clarify what they want to write about (if they have not already done so - such as those who didn't give anything more than a category), or if they have already stated what they want to write about, they should go ahead and begin writing their content! As for content length, I think we're aiming for what you would get in the average article (so probably between 1,500 and 5,000 words - which is pretty consistent with most medium to long article sites) which should probably give people enough space to put their work across without getting too wordy. Though it's worth saying that when it goes to the editors at HQ if the content is too long or requires a bit of work, I'm sure they will make the necessary edits to ensure it fits.
Hi, I may have something to contribute to the Website structure or information design categories. I'm an academic librarian with an English major background (and now I work on the library's web site), and I suggest the following:
Working Title: "Building from the ground up"
Description: So you've got a great product or idea. But how can your users use your web site to access the information about it? Here are some practical tips on building your web site structure so that information is properly accessed and clearly organized.
This sounds great. This is what I would be working on if picked.
Category: Audio + Video
Working Title: Planning a Successful Video shoot
Subtitle: The Role of the Video Producer
Article Description: Most of the information out there on video for the web focuses on the actual production and the processing of the video of the web. There is a dearth of information about what the logistics are and what the process is to plan a successful shoot or series of shoots with video that has high production value. I would cover preproduction (budgeting, scheduling . . .) post-production, how distribution choices affect production and post-production, branding (watermarks, titles . . .), crew positions and areas of responsibility.
I'd love to be involved in this. Here's my suggested contribution!Category: General wrting/accessibility
Working title: "Writing for the impatient eye"
Description: Forget everything you've ever been taught about writing. All those big words you learnt at school and the theses you wrote in college have no place on the web. It's time to be ruthless with your writing and get straight to the point. Hurry.. we don't have much time!
Hi there!
I would like to write a bit about blogging and social media, how they are meant to build relationships, draw traffic (maybe briefly touch on a few different topics here, maybe a quick SEO overview and how it relates to blogging), mentioning a few of the major social media options (Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn specifically), and possibly throw in a little about WordPress as well.
Would that work?
I might write about Form Validation and Security since there seem to have been lots of questions lately that indicate that a lot of people don't understand it and since it doesn't clash with what anyone else is doing.
Great ideas! I can't wait to read some of the topics you are planning to write about, guys...
I am in, sign me up! I am going to write about online and social marketing for small businesses.
Hi jerryp941,Thanks for your interest but I'm afraid you're a bit late this time round.
Will new comers can also take part in this and have a classic opportunity to write for SP?
Andrew, I could use a template like that right now!
Articles I can write:
Web coding / Database: Why do we have all these new NoSQL databases like MongoDB, CouchDB, etc.? What are they good for? Why would you choose one of them rather than the traditional RDBMS?
Web coding: Progressive enhancement. How to develop with progressive enhancement, and why.
There are just 5 days left to get your submissions in...
Any more takers?

I don't want to get carried away – it is all too easy to admire someone's goal and their tenacity while forgetting to evaluate them based on their results and in their historical context. At this point, it takes Govian willpower to say that his structural reforms to the education system have been a success – for three reasons.
Firstly, and rather obviously, we hardly know anything about the performance of children that have attended free schools, or those who have been taught under the Gove era. Ofsted reviews of free school suggest they are no better than others. What we know about the features of the best performing schools across the world (mostly teacher quality but also data-driven classrooms, high aspirations, longer hours, etc.) are only sporadically apparent in the first waves of free schools.
Secondly, the National Audit Office and others have raised serious concerns over the transparency of the selection process, free schools' availability where they are most needed, and the looming trouble in the department's capital budget. Collateral damage from a battle against an incalcitrant bureaucracy? Perhaps. When you blast a blob goo comes out. But one can not read these reports and celebrate success.
Thirdly, Mr Gove may have been the most radical reformer in the coalition but his changes should be seen in their proper context. Checking them against Thatcher's legacy is important. So too is realising that they are a turbocharged version of the reforms began under the Blair government – free schools are academies. (Literally – they are academies under law.) I sense a tendency among some Conservatives to confuse how Mr Gove revolutionised the party's views on education with him being the first and only person in the country to want to shake up the schools system.

An Austin, Texas, clean energy company's website says it plans to develop a $1 billion methanol plant at the Port of South Louisiana in LaPlace.
Zero Emissions Energy Plants Ltd. said on its website that construction of the facility is set to begin in the third quarter of 2013 and the plant will be operational by the end of 2015.
ZEEP said the facility will produce 5,000 metric tons per day of methanol. Methanol is used as a feedstock to produce plastics, textiles, paint and plywood. ZEEP said the LaPlace facility will take advantage of the price difference between low-cost natural gas in the United States and premium global liquids.
The proposed project surfaced in a study released Tuesday by LSU's Center for Energy Studies that explored the impact of low natural gas prices on manufacturing in Louisiana. ZEEP was cited as one of many companies that are constructing or propose to build plants that will benefit the state's economy over the next several years.
ZEEP's website said its management team has significant experience implementing major energy projects and served as executives with organizations such as TransCanada, Cheniere, Credit Suisse and BNP Paribas.
Ronald E. Oligney, named on the website as one of the founders, has 20 years of experience in the energy and environmental industry and served as an adviser to the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Barry Williamson, another founder named on the website, is a former member of the Texas Railroad Commission and served as director of the U.S. Mineral Management Service under President George W. Bush.
Despite the backgrounds of ZEEP's management, information about the company is hard to come by. There's no contact information on the company website. According to online records with the Texas Secretary of State's Office, ZEEP's business address is a private home in suburban Houston.
A woman who answered the phone at Oligney's home in metro Austin said he was out of the country.
Officials with the Port of South Louisiana referred all comments to Linda Prudhomme, business development director, who was out sick Tuesday.
Torri Buckles, director of economic development for St. John the Baptist Parish, said she was not familiar with ZEEP's plans to establish a plant in LaPlace. She also referred comments to Prudhomme.
Louisiana's economic development department did not immediately respond to questions about whether it is working with ZEEP.
This would be the second new methanol plant in south Louisiana recently. In June Methanex Corp. formally announced plans to move an idle methanol facility from Chile to Geismar.
The $550 million project should be completed by the end of 2014 and is expected to create 150 new jobs. Methanex said the project will create 1,500 construction jobs. Methanex said last month it will probably move a second plant from Chile to Geismar.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The state is investigating an Ohio inmate's claim that he was raped after a prison guard placed him in a cell in handcuffs.
The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction says the female guard was placed on administrative leave with pay Jan. 19 for alleged failure to follow agency policy.
State Highway Patrol records show the staff member was accused of leaving handcuffs on the inmate when he was placed in segregation with another inmate on Jan. 18 at Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima.
The patrol says the inmate alleged that his cellmate assaulted him while he was still handcuffed.
The patrol is investigating the guard for alleged dereliction of duty.

So i read that NMs on this game pop every 5 mins after the hour... no more 2+ hour NMs? that must mke NM camping stupidly easy and noncompetitive (also makes you think they dont drop anything fantastic) i mean I have no desire to fight for a claim with that system.. if some other guy get sit.. then its like.. oh well... I can wait 5 mins... by the time I come from the bathroom itll be my turn lol.
Also what is harder yo get.. relic weapons in THIS game or in FFXI? I seen posts on here with a lot of people claiming to have relic so they must not be stupidly difficult to get? About how long would you say it takes? (they probably also cant compare in power to FFXI relics then).
Lastly is the new job system vital to the game? Lets say I like Pugilist and none of the new jobs (monk, drg etc etc) interest me... would I miss out on anything if i decided t remain a pugilist for ever and never choose a job? like do pugilists get everything normal jobs get? (relic weapons class specific equipment etc etc) or would i HAVE to take up a job if i want to experience EVERYTHING (i.e stuff pugilists or non job classes can get)?
because currently no job interested me and the only one that sounds appealing is a pugilists... since he has high evasion and is pretty close to a thief (only downside being hand to hand instead of daggers)... but thfs can steal so technically it would make sense they could fight with their hands too if necessarry lol. and with a guide I found i found the perfect abilities to "steal" from other weapons to make a thief like class (only thing missing is an increases drop rate trait). So if I decided to stick to my pugilist thief build (until when or if ACTUAL thief is ever introduced) would there be things I wont be able to do or experience as a {Pugilist? (such as getting a relic weapon)?

VICTORIA COUNTY, Texas - An unsafe lane change led to the discovery of nearly 600 pounds of marijuana stashed in a horse trailer headed to Houston, according to officials with the Victoria County Sheriff's Office.
The discovery was made in January, but a federal criminal complaint was not filed against the driver of the truck towing the trailer until March. Documents filed in federal court read Gustabo Ochoa Torres was initially stopped by a Victoria County sheriff's deputy after making an unsafe lane change on Highway 59. Court records read the deputy became suspicious of Torres' reasons for heading to Houston. Court records show Torres then gave the deputy permission to search the trailer.
The federal complaint shows the deputy's K-9, "Rocky," alerted to the possible smell of drugs in the trailer, which contained two horses. The deputy suspected a false compartment had been built into the trailer's tack/dressing room, according to court documents. Federal agents wrote the deputy then drilled through the trailer's wall and "discovered wheel bearing grease and evidence of marijuana on the drill bit."
Court documents read the deputy discovered 88 bundles of marijuana, weighing nearly 600 pounds, hidden in the trailer's compartment. Agents wrote Torres then told them he picked up the truck and the trailer in the parking lot of Greenspoint Mall before driving to a motel in Rio Grande City. Court documents read Torres said someone picked up the truck and trailer from the motel's parking lot and returned it the following day with two horses.
According to the criminal complaint Torres told federal agents, "he knew he was smuggling marijuana but did not know the quantity." Agents wrote Torres also told them "he was to be paid $15,000 for the trip." Court documents also read Torres explained the trip was arranged by a man named "Tony" he met at a pool hall in the Spring area.
Torres is accused of possession with the intent to distribute marijuana.

Well, I just translated this, and here is what Google Translate said: "Easier said than mountain passes." I assume that means "easier said than done". Am I right?
You didn't translate it; you had it translated. Google Translate did all the heavy lifting, then you made a (lucky) guess.
Literally, the proverb is "Easier to say mountain than to go across it". Perhaps you could "seriously" learn Welsh if you wanted to. But, as the Welsh say, ni heuir ni fedir! (Good luck getting Google to translate that one!)
Oh, will you stop picking the nits? Obviously I didn't "translate" it according to your narrow definition of the word. So what? Enough of this. You know I don't know Welsh as well as you or the "serious" learners do, so please stop replying in Welsh (especially with things you think I can't translate!). It's really getting on my nerves, and you should consider yourself very lucky that this post isn't all in Leafoosish! If I were to post in Leafoosish, this exchange would be fair, but fortunately for you, I'm choosing to post in English so you can understand it. Until you pay me the same courtesy, I'm not going to participate in this pointless discussion. Ne ser-el â ren, pur la gonell!

holy crap I can't keep up. But I have thoughts on Accents.

2) Jake made fun of me for my accent - what the hell! Something about banana made him giggle
Oh Mighty Wing
I agree! I could certainly detect the PA accent!
Really? I've met many a PA'er who think I'm from somewhere else.
And I liked your accent - in case I didn't mention that earlier!
Yeah. Yours is hard to describe. Not really a east coast accent. More of a rural PA thingamajig. A good buddy from college (fellow midwesterner) worked at Penn College for several years. You sound the way that he did after he lived there for awhile.......in a more femine sounding way, of course.
Oh, do you Nashvillians have southern accents?

Research Projects and Lab Classes
Protocols for research projects and lab classes conducted at Ball State University involving infectious agents or materials must be registered with the Institutional Biosafety Committee prior to using the infectious materials:
The Principal Investigator or course director should submit a protocol through IRBNet at least three weeks before the proposed project is to begin.
The Institutional Biosafety Committee will review the completed form and may make recommendations to the investigator regarding biosafety practices.
Infectious Agents
Ordinarily, separate forms should be submitted for each different infectious agent, but in cases where several infectious agents are handled and contained in a similar manner, a single protocol form listing all of those agents will suffice.
Submission of a protocol form provides registration for the use of the infectious agent(s) for up to three years, at which time an updated form should be submitted.
If the investigator intends to significantly alter or modify the way a previously registered infectious agent is used, a new protocol form should be completed and submitted.
Student investigators seeking grant funding for research involving the use of infectious agents do not need to submit a protocol form if a faculty advisor has previously registered the procedures to be used. This registration by a faculty supervisor is strongly recommended, especially when the student project is part of ongoing research in the faculty advisor's lab. Otherwise, the student investigator must submit his/her own protocol form.

The Experience Services platform is built on top of a Java content repository (JCR). Day Software developed the JCR, CRX, that is in use by Adobe.
The term Java content repository can be used interchangebly for the Content Respository API for Java or for a software implementation of that API. The JCR is at heart an object database, with a hierarchical description of data. The API has standard methods to interact with an object database. It describes methods for importing and exporting data. It describes methods for searching the object database. Defined in the API, also, is data versioning.
Object databases (ODB) are interesting beasts. Most any type of data that is stored within a computer's file system can be store in one. A Web site, with its whole directory and file structure, could be replicated in one. In addition, code can be stored and called inside an ODB. An ODB can be much more than the computer's file system. Metadata can be defined for objects and the type of metadata stored can contain anything that the ODB can store.
My first introduction to an object database was with Userland Frontier back in the '90s. The ODB contained scripts that ran a language called UserTalk. Website management capabilities were added to it and that is what I used it for. I learned the power of the practice of separating content from the code of the implementation. The information for the Website could be stored in the ODB not as HTML pages, but as content. The HTML was defined in separate templates, and the content and HTML code stayed distinct from one another until it came time to deploy. Then the pages would be created and placed online using FTP. A Web server was added to the ODB and Frontier became a content management system. Frontier had a lot of potential, but the company that developed it eventually stopped maintaining it.
The JCR at the core of Experience Services actualizes the potential that Frontier had, plus some. By itself, an object database does not do much. It is the parts that are hung from it that give it power.

Everyone is concerned about getting a contagious disease,
such as
hepatitis B,
hepatitis C, or
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), from a used
needle. Most people are not considered at high risk for these infections, even
if they accidentally come into contact with infected blood or body
Transmission of HIV from an accidental contact is extremely rare. The degree of risk depends on:
Protect yourself from accidental exposure by disposing of
sharp objects properly and wearing protective gloves. The hepatitis B vaccine
is safe and effective in preventing hepatitis B, so be sure to have current
The U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following steps if you have
any exposure to blood:
Call your doctor right away. In some cases, medicine to prevent infection may be
recommended and should be started right away.

Do you design for different devices (mobiles, smart phones, tablets, any other?) using Fireworks? What is the workflow you follow and what the current limitation in them? I am assuming that people are already using Fireworks for mobile designing when I look at examples like this one.
I can lead you into some question to understand your style or working and understand the limitations. The below first set of questions give an idea of the assets and their layout across different screen sizes.
- Do you design for only one screen size and then move onto a new screen size from ground zero?
- If you design for multiple screen, how do you reuse the assets? (Symbols?)
- In case you are designing for multiple screen sizes and the assets are being re-used, how do you layout the design depending on the screen sizes? (Nine slice scaling?)
The second set of questions will help me understand the resolution differences are handled during designing phase
- Desktop screen is generally set at 72dpi resolution whereas the device resolutions are far higher. How do you visualize the resolution differences when designing on a desktop for a tablet or mobile screen?
- Once the design is done, how do you see the end result? Emulate it on the desktop or host the file and browse to it from the device?
- Which fonts do you generally use for multi screen designing? Does the desktop screen rendering give a font render
Once the designing is done and needs to be shown to the client, how does that happen?
- Do you look for some interactions which might help you win the deal?
- How do you currently explain the state change on gestures and other touch sensitive actions?
If you think I am going in a direction of my own, please feel free to correct me and explain how real world wireframing, prototyping, designing, interaction designing for different screen is done.
During the feedback it will be good to help me understand your workflow with the missing pieces you expect to be present to make your lives easy. Any suggestions on improvements in the existing feature set in this context is welcome.

Rockies again unable to capitalize against Cain
Colorado chases Giants ace after five, but scores only two off him
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants ace Matt Cain struggling guarantees nothing for the Rockies.
Cain needed 65 pitches to make it through the first two innings and walked five in five innings, yet emerged with a 7-3 victory against the Rockies at AT&T Park on Sunday afternoon in front of 42,597, giving the Giants a three-game series win.
The result knocked the Rockies a game behind the National League West-co-leading Giants and D-backs. But the Rockies' next four games -- on the road Monday and Tuesday, at home Wednesday and Thursday -- are against the Astros, whose 14 wins are second-fewest in the Majors.
Sunday wasn't the first time this season the Rockies let Cain (4-2) off the hook. On May 16, the Rockies built a 6-0 lead against Cain at Coors Field, only to lose, 8-6. On Sunday, Cain walked the bases loaded with one out in the first, then gave up Michael Cuddyer's two-run double.
But Cuddyer's hit accounted for one of only two the Rockies managed off Cain, who finished with six strikeouts and dominated once he made it back into the strike zone.
"It's hard when you have a lot of situations in front of you and you're not able to do anything," said Rockies left fielder Carlos Gonzalez, who struck out twice against Cain and three times overall during an 0-for-5 performance. "I left a lot of runners on base. We all did."
Cuddyer's double and pinch-hitter Jordan Pacheco's RBI single in the eighth were the Rockies' only hits in 16 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Cain -- 17-7 in 30 career starts against the Rockies -- was responsible for much of that.
"That game was all about Matt Cain and him settling down to give us five innings," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
After Cuddyer's first-inning double, Todd Helton was left kicking himself after striking out on a high fastball.
"I sort of set my sights down low and just bit on it," Helton said.
Cain ended the first by working Wilin Rosario into a liner to left. Cain walked DJ LeMahieu and Dexter Fowler in the second, but induced a Nolan Arenado flyout to center and struck out Gonzalez for the second time.
"He found his breaking ball somewhere along there -- I think about the third inning -- and he was throwing strikes with it," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.
Also, the game ended with fears about Cuddyer, who returned from a neck injury at the start of the series and went 4-for-11 with a home run, three doubles and six RBIs, but exited in the sixth inning. He was hit in the right forearm by Giants pitcher George Kontos and left the game after running the bases, but X-rays were negative, and the Rockies announced he had a right forearm contusion.
Still, Cuddyer, whose forearm was wrapped heavily in the clubhouse afterward, was not sure he could play Monday and wasn't totally sure he could avoid a return to the disabled list.
"It's swollen, sore, stiff, all that," Cuddyer said.
Buster Posey opened the second with his seventh home run of the season, off Rockies starter Jon Garland (3-6), and the Giants tied it in the fourth on Brandon Crawford's fielder's choice.
Garland gave up seven hits and threw 102 pitches in five innings. But his pitch count was elevated by two unusual plays with two out, one of which hurt.
In the second, Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki caught one of his spikes in the dirt and tripped while fielding Cain's grounder with two on. Cain reached to load the bases, but Garland induced a Gregor Blanco ground ball.
With the score tied at 2 and one on in the fifth, LeMahieu, fighting the sun and wind in short right field, lost Hunter Pence's fly ball for an error. Brandon Belt doubled in two runs, and Andres Torres doubled Belt home for a 5-2 lead.
"When it went up with the wind -- I saw other people catching fly balls -- I knew it wasn't going to stay straight, and once it got above the stadium, the wind took it," LeMahieu said. "I tried to keep my feet moving, but I misjudged it completely."
Garland felt he made progress and would have done better had a few pitches been called his way early, but that didn't trump the fact he lost for the fifth time in his past six decisions.
"It's tough when you put your team down three and you end up losing the game to sit and say that you made strides," Garland said, "but to a certain degree, yeah."

Wiyot tribe receives 48 condor feathers for World Renewal Ceremony
LOLETA- The Wiyot tribe has 48 California Condor feathers that will be used to bring back the tribes traditional World Renewal Ceremony on Indian Island. The tribe has not been able to hold the ceremony for 154 years and have been working to get their traditional land back and safe for the event.
The feathers were donated to the tribe from the Sia Essential Species Repository which collects and distributes the feathers for cultural proposes to federally recognized tribes. The feathers are traditionally used to make crafts and will be used during the ceremony.
The last World Renewal Ceremony was held in 1860 when it was interrupted by a massacre that killed 200 Wiyot women and children. The tribe has since purchased 1.5 acres and received 100 acres back from the City of Eureka. In 2013 the EPA told the tribe the island was safe for tribal use.
"We're getting ready and it means a lot," said Cheryl Seidner former Chair of the tribal council.

A9 TV, September 11th, 2012
Faith in Allah is normal behavior for a rational person. We look and see cars and houses and other people. Allah shows us these things in our brains. What can we say about that?Believing in Allah takes nothing away from people. But unbelief does. It also leads to disaster. The result is anarchy, terror, loss of joy, evil and unease. The way that the state in Turkey provides a Darwinist, materialist education and says, "Allah did not create the universe. Allah did not create human beings and living things. They came into being by chance. The same with events in the universe. Allah does not create them. They are the work of chance," leads to sterility. And that leads to great misfortune, may Allah forbid, because it is untrue. It is untrue scientifically and rationally, and in terms of good conscience. We must tell the truth, whatever it is. We must say whatever science tells us. The state should put fossils on display. There are tens, hundreds of thousands of fossils in Turkey. Let us put them on display so people can see them. People can then come to their own conclusions.
What is so peculiar with Richard Dawkins? He goes and argues with kids, with clergy, Catholic priests, Protestants, rabbis and high school students. There is one single person in the world that he avoids; me. He is assured that I will, in the ideological sense, crush him like a bulldozer.
People have overrated him, but I lifted his veil. In that sense, right now no one takes Dawkins seriously. He has lost his credibility. In the past people used to see him like a legend. Now that we have lifted his veil, they simply ask, "Is that him?" and the case closes. He is in a stalemate in all respects. He used to freely say whatever he wanted. He used to say, "Proteins come into being by chance." When we sent the Atlas of Creation in abundant amounts, all Europeans awakened. They asked him to explain how proteins came into being by chance. Then he said, "Surely it can't be, my brother." "So explain how does it happen?" they demanded. " It was aliens who made them " Dawkins answered. This is the outline. When we asked, "Who made the aliens?" As a response, we hear nothing other than a long pause. Right at the level of protein, I killed him in the ideological sense. From Turkey, from where I sit, I ideologically crushed the guy. In fact there is no need to come face to face with him but, by default, only to display how I crushed his ideas. Otherwise, there is no particular reason for it. Indeed, I have already crushed him in the ideological sense by raising awareness of the people in European countries. I educated the people who asked that question to him; they learned from my books. He asked that question from my book; otherwise, they did not know that a protein could not have come into being by chance. We taught it. They awakened after us. The person who questioned him was the person to whom I sent the Atlas of Creation. He wanted him to explain, but Dawkins has nothing to explain. He merely looks at the ceiling.
What else could he say? He says that it cannot be by chance. He says that what Darwin said was impossible. He says that protein could only come into being through high intelligence, a very high consciousness. He says, "It could be the aliens, what else can I say?" He can not say that it "is Allah Who created them." The issue is over.
A9 TV; November 30th, 2011
You must not be tense about that issue. For example you can say, "It is impossible for a protein to be formed by chance. Another protein is needed for a protein to be formed." That would stick with him for all eternity. If you ask him, he would say, "No I am not impressed. I am not listening to you." It is not important. You cannot get results by criticizing the social structure of communism. This is not the way to strive against communism. You would be defeated. You cannot handle this. You must destroy the essence of communism. What is the essence of communism? On what it is established? It is established on the dialectic philosophy. What is the dialectic philosophy based on? It is based on Darwinism. How is Darwinism destroyed? It collapses when you hit it on two points. For example, you will say proteins first and fossils second. There are 350 million fossils, you will say. They have not changed in any way. They are the same as animals now. There is no chance. 350 million. They have not changed. Despite this, there is no evidence Darwinists can show. They cannot show a single transitional form fossil, not a single one. Now this ends it all. But we are making it simpler. Look, we are not even mentioning chromosomes. We are not mentioning chromosomes. We are only saying; "Is it possible for a protein to be formed by coincidence?" Of course, he would say, "It is possible" due to his ignorance; but you will say to him, "Look, what is Dawkins saying? What is Dawkins saying? He says, "Only aliens could do it." He says, "It is not possible, it has to be designed. It is impossible through coincidences." Because a protein cannot be formed without proteins. So, what is Marxism based on? It is based on Darwinist philosophy. It is a theory based on Darwinism. What happens when Darwinism is gone? Marxism is caught out in the open. Like a house without a basement. A house without a basement; think about it, there is a house hanging in the sky. What happens? It collapses. This is what you will do. Do not bother about masonic symbols. You cannot cope with them.
A9 TV, 29 April 2012
People say, "It happened by chance." They eat a strawberry and say it came about by chance. They say that oranges, bananas, melons, water melons cherries and everything are all the work of chance. Human beings also emerged by chance, and squirrels and birds and butterflies… So Allah says He will put you in a place that resembles chance. Not in those words, but so you can understand. That is a feature of hell, everywhere is as if random. Fire spurts up from the ground, people are like monkeys, heads are on back to front, and some people have no faces at all. They used to talk about mutation. Allah says there was no such thing, but here it is for you now. I am saying this for clarity's sake, though Almighty Allah does not really say that. Allah shows them what mutation and chance would really mean. See what food that emerges by chance is like. There is the thorny, horrible and foul-smelling foods. Horrible food and the water is filthy and boiling. Yet here they drink sweet, fresh water. The water in hell is disgusting and boiling. That is how it should be. There is magma underneath, so what happens when water makes contact? It will boil. What happens when you put water on the stove? It boils. There is magma beneath the Earth's crust, yet fresh, ice-cool water emerges. Allah says that if you do not give thanks and believe in what I have done, I will show you what chance really is. That is what they deserve. But they still do not believe. They say, "Tell your Lord to send us a blessing." Their immorality and craziness persist even there. They never abandon it. And Allah punishes them, while easing the hearts of believers, of course, insha'Allah.2012-10-31 11:32:09

THREE ducklings greeted author Rachel Joyce when she gave a Swindon Festival of Literature talk about her work at the Arts Centre yesterday.
It was hoped that the ducks would have hatched for the Farmageddon event, with author Philip Lymbery, which took place on Tuesday. Unfortunately they didn't but festival director Matt Holland knew that former actress Rachel kept chicks and ducks at her Gloucestershire home, so put them stage side to give her a warm welcome.
Rachel spoke about her two books, The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry and Perfect. She said: "I'm really enjoying being part of the festival and being pretty local I think it is important to support events in my area. It is clear to see that Matt works so hard to make the festival a success.
"I have to admit I've never been to a festival with ducklings before, they are very cute."
The mother-of-four, who also writes plays for BBC Radio 4, fielded questions about balancing work with spending time with her family, the role her late father played in inspiring her work and dealing with criticism.
"Calling a book Perfect sets yourself up for a fall but what I'm trying to say is perfection implies some kind of aspirational state to reach but that isn't the case as life is always changing. In Perfect, when people look for perfection, problems tend to follow," Rachel said.
"I hate that we have a society where we are seeking ratings. I once got a three star rating on Amazon and then I followed what the person had given five stars to and one was a double-bladed potato masher which put things into perspective."
Fans were treated to details about Rachel's new book The Long Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, due to be released in October, which is a follow up to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
Matt felt that Rachel's insights into the inspiration behind her work were fascinating. He said: "This has been a typical example of what we try to achieve when we invite authors as you get to see the person behind the book and what inspired them. I could feel the audience understanding that Rachel is just an ordinary human being with a life, like the rest of us, who also happenst to have a great talent.
"We are just over a third of the way into the Festival of Literature and the response has been brilliant. It has been great to see loyal followers as well as new faces. I think the variety of people attending different events shows we are offering something for everyone."
Another festival event yesterday saw poet Martin Figura give a talk at the Arts Centre. The festival, now in its 21st year, runs until May 17.

Even so they always do this. I'm assuming Evad3rs will wait for 7.1 before launching anyway.
Apple probably left some "obvious" holes in 7.0 and "figured them out" for 7.1. (IE 7 will be jailbreakable but 7.1 won't) .... 7.01 and 7.02 probably represent basic updates and fixes to the crap the forgot for the 7.0 launch. I say obvious, but I really mean very difficult...
It's obvious to the people who invented and wrote the code, but difficult when you're a programmer trying to backward engineer your way through thousands upon thousands of lines of someone else's crap code.
Apple seems to secretly love the jailbreak community - it's where some of their greatest "original" ideas come from!
They are all thieves!
I hope JAILBREAKing Team is ready for this, i really want to see a jailbreak on ios 7 ASAP
I think what it means is they want to stay on schedule with the 7.0 release - nothing to do with counter-JB'ing measures. They can't know what exploits JB devs have and this paranoia is misplaced.
You might almost have predicted the ceding of one/several updates in such fast succession on the heels of an overhaul on the scale of 7.0.
Well hopefully one of them re-enables Keychain
Now try and tell me IOS is better than Android. YOU CANT.
IOS7 isn't even released to the public yet and they are already working on a fix (IOS 7.0.1) then they are working on a fix for that (IOS 7.0.2) then more fixes and maybe an extra feature (IOS 7.1) so HOW can you tell me IOS is better?
Pathetic. its worse than releasing beta games and having 0-day updates to fix the bugs and make it final.
IOS7 is nice but its still got lots of bugs. I think they should wait till IOS7.1 before releasing a jailbreak to keep the exploit till then. If they jailbreak now they will loose an exploit for 7.1.
I wont update till the next jailbreak but I would like to see IOS7 on the iPad3 but as Apple are so lame and refuse to give the iPad3 features the iPad4 is getting I dont really care about it anymore. Apple suck, pity their devices are pretty good. I always said the iPhone and iPad would be the best devices ever and everyone would own one if Apple didn't make it.
If you let Samsung make the OS for the iPhone it would be the number one device and everyone would want one. Maybe not Samsung but you know what I mean. Apple might make ok devices even if they are behind by about 3 years they still ruin it by refusing to give it features it can clearly have (Siri on iPhone4, that new share feature to iPad3, SMS/MMS support to iPads).
Guessing here, but I would gamble a jailbreak for io7 is more likely sooner than later. With all the radical changes coupled with the idea of it being something new, it's bound to have holes and bugs like the first run of anything new. Besides what's-his-name isn't working for Apple anymore...Keeping my fingers crossed.
As much as I'm liking the look of iOS 7, I'm not updating until a jailbreak is released. There are simply too many tweaks I've gotten over the years to justify downgrading to stock iOS, even if iOS 7 implements many previously jailbreak-only features.
I understand Apple's delicate position regarding the matter, but they need to acknowledge the fact that many brilliant ideas for improving iOS come out of the jailbreaking community. It really is as simple as letting the user install anything but for some reason this is impossible for Apple to do. If they do manage to close all loopholes and a jailbreak isn't possible, they'll pay the price. All future versions of iOS would probably look the same.
