Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Relaxed Fit Pleated Performance Dress Khaki Pants:
I've been buying these pants for years and they last a very long time. Each pair comes with a spare button, but I have never had a button come off these pants. If you want pants that will go the distance, these are the ones.
Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Relaxed Fit Pleated Performance Dress Khaki Pants:
Very Good Value for the price (on sale).
I am a Eddie Bauer loyal when is about pants.
Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Relaxed Fit Pleated Performance Dress Khaki Pants:
All of a sudden I had an issue with the cuffs. They started to come apart. I have my pants dry cleaned always. They hold up and always look great. They were replaced at no cost to me. I have worn Eddie Bauer pants for over 40 years and this is the first and only time I ever had a problem.
Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Relaxed Fit Pleated Performance Dress Khaki Pants:
Bought these for my husband who has worn this style/type of pant for years. He commented the other day, "I think this is my favorite pair of pants ever. Quality, comfort...They're the best yet. We'll see how well they wear." (He works in them and bicycles to and from work nearly everyday.) I was impressed when we unwrapped them. The fabric seemed thicker, softer...The color a dark, rich black. They were obviously 'dress' as opposed to 'casual'.

The rumours that Vladimir Putin is about to replace Aleksey Miller as the chief executive of Gazprom continue to swirl around the markets across Europe. As usual it is hard to know what is true and what is dreamt up by Mr Miller's enemies. Removing Mr Miller would not, however, solve Gazprom's problems. What the company really needs is a new strategy. What should it be. ? Read more

Canada (0-1) has lost its opening match of the Caribbean T20 tournament by 9 wickets to Winward Islands (2-0). Skipper Jimmy Hansra called right on the toss and backed his men to put up a score. The powerplay overs may have proved him right as Hiral Patel (11) and Ruvindu Gunasekera (38) raced to 48-1 from 5 overs until Patel's departure sparked a stunning collapse.
Wickets fell in quick succession as only Raza Rehman (34) on debut shepparded the tail to take Canada past the century mark. Canada finished on 111-7 in 20 overs.
In reply, Canada were unable to get early penetration into the Winward Islands attack as only Henry Osinde (1-13) was able to pick up a wicket. Johnson Charles (61) did most of the damage for Winwards as they coasted to a 9 wicket victory.
The match was broadcast live across Canada on Sportsnet ONE and was the first time in history that Canada appeared on a major national network in Canada.

Media Matters: The good, the bad, and the ugly
I have a dearly beloved, inspiring, mischievous coworker who loves to get me fired up by sending links to articles with subject headings like, "something else for you to blog about." In case you haven't met him, watch out for the NSVRC Rural Projects Specialist, because he'll inevitably brighten your day and make you work harder to end sexual violence all at the same time. To appease my spritely coworker, and to highlight some of the most recent media pieces that have me stomping, cursing, and singing, I'm going to offer my commentary here today.
Let's start with the ugly. It's grotesque that someone out there in the universe felt it would be appropriate to make light and make merchandise about child rape. Recent reports of t-shirts with "I'd rather shower at Penn State than cheer for the Wolverines" led to an explosion of merchandise. Thanks to ever-classy Urban Dictionary, you can create your own awful definition and have it printed on hats, shirts, mugs, mousepads, and temporary tattoos! Thank goodness that we citizens of the earth have the opportunity to display publicly ideas that perpetuate rape culture. Maybe if people keep joking about the ongoing sexual abuse of children, institutions will forget that it's important to prevent such things. After all, it makes a great t-shirt!
Very shortly after seeing this atrocity, my sweet, well-meaning coworker forwarded an article about the Friar who is just convinced that teens are out there seducing priests and this whole sexual abuse scandal isn't really as serious as we think. In the article, he is quoted:
"People have this picture in their minds of a person planning to — a psychopath," Groeschel said. "But that's not the case. Suppose you have a man having a nervous breakdown, and a youngster comes after him. A lot of the cases, the youngster — 14, 16, 18 — is the seducer."
This is bad. Let me be clear in my response. At no time, in no circumstance should the word "seduce," or any variation thereof, be used to describe an act of sexual violence. If you disagree, I invite you to comment. It would be *so fun* to explain all of the different ways in which an adult spiritual leader having sex with a child is nonconsensual, abusive and violent.
To balance out all of the yuck that came through my inbox, I have one more story to share. Research on the "Buffy Effect" coming out of Texas demonstrates that viewers have fewer negative impressions of women when they watch strong female characters. Imagine that. It seems that negative effects of media can also be counter-balanced. Media producers among us, please, be the change.

Biologists Assess Resource Damage From Hurricane Rita
AUSTIN, Texas — Wildlife and fisheries biologists with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department say the full impacts on natural resources from Hurricane Rita may not be realized for some time, but assessments in East Texas and along the upper coast in recent weeks indicate substantial damage to some ecosystems.
"The implication of that extensive an inundation of saltwater into freshwater wetlands will depend upon the resiliency those marshes," said Larry McKinney, Ph.D., TPWD coastal fisheries director. "If we see any significant losses then we will have to deal with that, including erosion issues and perhaps an expanded low oxygen 'dead zone' out in the Gulf of Mexico that could eventually reach the Texas coast."
Nearly all of the major rivers and their tributaries in Southeast Texas experienced substantial fish kills as a result of Hurricane Rita. These include most streams east of the Trinity River and several tributaries to the Trinity River. TPWD regional director for inland fisheries Dave Terre in Tyler said he does not believe the storm crippled fish populations.
The old Jasper State Fish Hatchery sustained damage to some of the infrastructure, but the facility itself is still intact and functioning. "We don't think we lost anything in the way of fish," reported Dr. Gary Saul, hatcheries chief with TPWD's Inland Fisheries Division. "We have a big mess to clean up, but that's it so we were lucky. It shouldn't impact us as far as production. We have catfish coming out of there the end of the month for some of our community fishing areas and they should be trucked out as planned."
Winds topping 100 mph wreaked havoc on Pineywoods forests, felling numerous precious mature hardwood trees. "We do not know the extent yet of tree damage to forested interior areas on our WMAs and public hunting units and the U.S. Forest Service Lands or the Big Thicket National Preserve," said Nathan Garner, TPWD regional director for wildlife in Tyler.
Wildlife biologist Bobby Eichler noted that deer have had easy access to acorns this fall as a result, but that staple food source for whitetails and squirrels will be reduced for many years to come.
The debris is also causing problems for hunters preparing for the upcoming deer season. Instead of making last-minute preparations to camps, stands and feeders, many hunters have to start from scratch. As hunters begin piecing back together deer camps, the U.S. Forest Service is urging caution against wildfire due to a lack of rain during the storm combined with the additional fuel source from debris.
Waterfowl biologists are concerned that storm damage to marshlands in Louisiana and Texas could pose problems for wintering ducks and geese that rely on those food sources. "There's still a seed source out there, but a lot of the submerged stuff is unavailable," said Dave Morrison, TPWD waterfowl program leader. "Mottled ducks are a big concern. Did they get out of there or did they stay and get hammered? We just don't know yet."
Reports from primary waterfowl wintering areas like the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge and the J.D. Murphree WMA indicate the presence of "black water" in parts of the marshes where submerged vegetation and invertebrates were wiped out, while other parts are showing some positive initial results. "Some of the marsh had millet washed in from the rain, which should attract and hold some ducks," offered Len Polasek, TPWD regional director for wildlife along the upper coast. "We've found some damage and erosion on some of the levees at the Murphree area from the storm surge and around the water control structures at Salt Bayou on the Intracoastal."
Polasek said public waterfowl hunting will take part as scheduled on area WMAs, but due to irreparable damage to the check station at Salt Bayou, hunts for that unit and the Big Hill Unit will be conducted from the Murphree area.
Scientists say hurricanes, droughts and other environmental extremes are a natural part of the processes that have shaped Gulf estuaries, ecologically important areas where freshwater from rivers enters saltwater bays. Estuarine ecosystems historically have normally rebounded fairly quickly from such events. Scientists say what complicates the picture now are human influences.
"In the last hundred years, we have lost about half of our Texas coastal wetlands, diverted freshwater inflows into bays and diminished water quality in coastal waters to the point that hurricane recovery may be prolonged in some areas," McKinney said.
"Our estuaries are remarkably resilient and productive so they will come back but there are limits and Rita and Katrina remind us of those limits on both an ecological and human scale."

I went inside, packed up my gear and headed out to Garner Valley to see what the flowers and butterflies were doing. My plan was to head over to Fobes Ranch Road to photograph some landscapes and then head over to Lake Hemet to see the wildflowers in bloom.
It turned out to be a little cloudier than I thought. The sun remained hidden from view with only an occasional sunray escaping from the dark mass of clouds. I clicked away, nonetheless, and kept my eyes peeled for any unusual wildflowers or butterflies.
As I walked around on the road, I saw what looked like a plant topped with fried eggs. Unfortunately it was pretty far off and behind a barbed-wire fence. On my last trip to Garner Valley, I had an encounter with barbed wire that left a 6-inch gash above my right ankle.
I decided to keep my distance and use the camera's zoom lens to get closer to what I found out later was a prickly poppy, Argemone munita.
After taking about 150 photos, I decided to make my way over to the lake but roadside wildflowers proved to be too tempting so I pulled over to walk up and down the roadside.
I found sand verbena, sapphire woollystar (Eriastrum sapphirinum), an unknown species of orange globemallow, California evening primrose, spearleaf mountain dandelion, twiggy wreath plant, small bluish flax flower and summer lupines (Lupinus formosus).
Even though I ended up across the highway from Lake Hemet, I never made it to the lake as my camera battery warning light started to blink. That means I have taken too many photos to edit in one session so I headed home. I need to get a backup battery, or maybe not. My new card can hold nearly 2,000 photos so an extra battery could mean trouble.
On the morning of July 6, with a little less cloud cover than the previous trip, I decided to head out to Lake Hemet. This time it was it was straight to the lake, do not pass "Go," do not collect 200 photos.
It turned out to be that rare day when conditions are perfect for taking landscapes, flowers, butterflies, furry critters or you name it. This was truly one of those days where you are glad to be alive and outdoors.
Unlike a camera, my brain can record millions of images and the batteries last for decades but it is still nice to have camera images to jog the brain and remember days like this.
On Lake Hemet Road, I stopped once again and walked up and down looking for interesting flower species. I found narrow leaf milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis), southern honeysuckle, low carpet clover (Trifolium spp.), twiggy wreath plants (with paler flowers and purple pollen) and an unidentified fiddleneck-like plant.

A9 TV, 12 May 2012
Irreligion is a most terrible thing. People must not be against religion. Society finds itself in a huge problem. There will be great conflicts and events. Brother will fight brother, and country will fight country. May Allah forbid. Love, compassion and affection will all desert the heart. People will wish to kill one another for the most trivial reasons. There will be a huge desire for war and bloodshed. There will be a huge spirit of terror and anarchy. People will crush and slaughter one another, May Allah forbid. But religion is bestowed by Allah as a blessing, a beauty that eliminates that corruption. People are created to be unable to live in any other way. Satan has seen that religion is on the rise. Satan is being defeated for the first time, in the End Times. "Satan will die at the Mahdi's (pbuh) feet in the End Times," he says. Satan tells Allah, "You will find none to believe in You." "I will eliminate them all apart from pure servants," he says. We are now in the time when the Mahdi (pbuh) will slay satan. When he will annihilate him. That is why satan is wriggling so.
Satan was hugely cunning, he had a great weapon, a social weapon. He took music and entertainment. He took nice clothes, fine cars, pleasant houses, beautiful women, fine young men, lovely places, good speech, lovely voices and fine pictures, everything that comes to mind. Satan showed himself and his followers science and technology and everything. They formed the impression there was no other alternative. The bigots also said, "Music is yours, science is yours, art is yours, entertainment is yours, attractive people belong to you, dressing well, nice perfumes, being well-groomed and attractive, having a fine presence, being nice and attractive being high class and everything all belong to you. We have come to hell here." "We have a duty to loathe women," they said. In other words, "we must hand a stick on the wall and beat women and treat them like animals," they said. "We will regard them in the same category as monkeys and pigs. When they say anything, we will do the exact opposite." They have made their position clear.
But I stood up and said, "Everything you think you have given to unbelief actually belongs to Muslims." The earth moved. That was so painful for them. They had nowhere left to hide. Because that was their armor. "I have art, so keep away!" he said. And Muslims kept away. "I have attractive people, so keep away." And Muslims kept away. "I have fine cars, so keep away!" "I have science, so keep away!" When the bigots heard science or saw art, they fled. They fled when they saw high quality, classy people. The bigots could not go to high quality, classy places. They could not even walk past them. Even if they did, they would be chased off. That was the situation. There was a huge wall. Nobody could get over it. Since it could not be crossed, unbelief and pride, the followers of satan, people with a Darwinist-materialist mindset, those who deny Allah and all of them felt themselves safe and at ease. They were really comfortable. For example, someone goes to a disco and sits there with his legs apart, or goes to a nightclub … There were 100% certain nothing could happen. They were sure that no real Muslim would ever turn up.
They failed to take true Muslims into account. When true Muslims appeared, when sincere Muslims began growing in numbers, all their bastions and walls came tumbling down. Beautiful women belong to Muslims, and fine houses, and nice cars, fine pictures, smart shoes, goo streets, yachts and places of entertainment have all come into the hands of believers. They came into the hands of patriots and the true lovers of the nation. They were horrified when they saw this. "Have you stopped being a Muslim and abandoned the Sunnah? What kind of Muslim behaves like that?" they say. "Come and let us teach you faithfulness," they say. They imagine they can take away Muslims' strength and bring back the old system. In other words, their last throes, their final offensive is to say, feebly and foolishly, "Women are dressed highly attractively, your cars are very smart, you have elegant boats and shoes. None of this is permissible in Islam." But it is, all these things belong directly to Muslims. There is just a miscalculation here, and I am putting that right. What you see is not a nightmare, you are seeing the truth. These things all belong to true patriots, believers, good and honest people. Allah has taken away all blessing from cheats and people of no character.
The funniest thing to me is how these show-offs and jackals life separated from religion, imagine that religion can never touch them and who genuinely believe there is something bad in religion and that religion means the end of life, have looked and seen that religion is most excellent, pleasant, blessed and essential. And it has entered every part of life. That shocked them. They tried to stop it. Some of them liked it, of course. "If I had known religion was like this I would long since have become a Muslim," they tell me. The great majority are like that, but some still try to hold out, but in a very feeble and childish way. They say; "Women must not use make-up, you must not listen to music, women should not be well-groomed, men should not be well-groomed, they should not wear elegant clothes, and do not laugh." I look at Facebook and these rogues are all in showy clothes and all entwined with girls. When Allah had fixed such filthy and stupid people, your beauty, wealth, joy, quality, class, nobility, chastity, general culture and kindness paralyzed them. You have produced a glorious exact opposite of the Muslim image they were familiar with. They imagined they were the ones propping science up. But the essence of science lies with you. They imagined that art was theirs. But then they saw they were offering filth and calling it art. They saw that the essence of art lies with you. They imagined joy was theirs. They were drinking alcohol and behaving disgracefully, laughing horribly, but then they saw that real laughter lies with you. They found that hard to come to terms with. They imagine they dressed very well, but they saw that you are the ones who dress well. They thought their girlfriends were very pretty, but then they had another look and saw they resembled apes. Horrible and bad tempered and stupid. They are really suffering from the blow of that. The shock of that is still with them. They went to consult the bigots. The bigots make one loud noise, and they make a separate one. Both sounds are howling. Both sides are suffering. There is no way out. Islam will rule the world. Satan has no way out on this road. They cannot win. As well they know.
Surat al-Muminun, in the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful
"It is the believers who are successful:" Allah says that success, salvation, is for believers alone. So believers can relax, insha'Allah. If they are believers. But they must still be torn between hope and fear.
"those who are humble in their prayer;"
There are some people who behave in such a way as to lose themselves. That is not "humility." It means being lucidly and sincerely concentrated on Allah. Not like those frauds who lose control and go into raptures. "those who are humble in their salat," He says. Humility means praying to Allah, giving one's heart to Him will full concentration.
"those who turn away from worthless talk;"
This verse is very important. Allah inspires us with knowledge of what is empty. We know. A great many people spend their lives wound up with worthless things. Empty things trouble one, bring one down and make one old and sick. People imagine that empty things are relaxing. When they fill their time with them. But they just chisel away at one's life span. They wear one down. They wear down the mind and the memory and the body. The way Allah tells us to turn away from worthless things is to do with our physical and psychological health. It is not just a religious observance. But since people are unaware of this, they imagine that spending time on worthless things is relaxing. Empty things drive one crazy. They eat away at the brain, the mind and the body. But worthy activities make one healthy. You both earn Allah's approval and become very healthy.
"those who pay alms;" who give to the poor and needy according to their needs. Who spend on the path of Allah and Islam. "those who guard their private parts –" who protect their chastity and honor. Who do not engage in illicit relations.
"except from their wives or those they own as slaves, in which case they are not blameworthy;"
Except from their lawful and official wives. Or from their concubines, women who serve them.
"but those who desire anything more than that are people who have gone beyond the limits –"
But if they enter into sexual relations apart from these, then Almighty Allah says that is unlawful.
"those who honour their trusts and their contracts;"
What is a trust? You entrust something to someone, and they look after it. You entrust a possession and they take care of it. Someone entrusts money to you, and you take care of it. But there are some people who are entrusted money, and then when the owner asks for it back, they say, "I spent it." They have betrayed that trust. You entrust someone to someone else and they go off and leave them, so harm befalls them. That is a betrayal of the person. You entrust and object and they break it. That is a betrayal of the item. So they person is also betrayed.
"those who safeguard their prayer:"
What does safeguarding their prayer mean? Allah does not say 'prayers.' Because there is not just one prayer. There are five. Someone who immaculately safeguards the prayer, who prays without exception. Not someone who prays in the morning but not at noon, or who prays at noon but not in the evening. Someone who performs them all, one after the other.
"such people are the inheritors of majesty in this world and blessings in the hereafter." Global reign will be theirs, he says. This verse at the same time refers to the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Because the global reign will be in the time of the Mahdi. What is this? The system of the Mahdi, insha'Allah.
"who will inherit Firdaws [paradise], remaining in it timelessly, for ever." Almighty Allah says they will inherit this world and paradise. They will remain in paradise forever, says Almighty Allah.
"We created man from the purest kind of clay;"
Not just mud, but ceramic clay. People imagine that the creation of man was with clay. No. Allah says He created man from pottery. From classic, fired pottery. Imagine a pottery stature of a person. Allah says He gave that statue a soul and it came to life. From need? No. As a marvel. You see it in films, for instance. A statue suddenly comes to life and starts walking. That takes one aback, startles one. Allah says he did that as a good thing. But Allah has no need of clay or pottery. What has clay got to do with a human being? To make it interesting, as an adornment. Because clay cannot normally turn into cells, blood and bone. This is a marvel, insha'Allah. Allah says He made a statue of a human being. Pottery. Regular, baked pottery. You know, the kind of pottery they cell. It suddenly opens its eyes and begins blinking. It begins breathing. It gets up. It stands up in amazement.
When He created the prophet Adam (pbuh), Adam was amazed and knew the name of nothing. He could not speak at all. Allah taught him the names one by one. "What is this?" for instance. A stone. Allah taught him everything one by one. What is this? A branch. And this? A tree. And this? A shoe. He taught him them all. Almighty Allah taught him the names of everything. So he soon learned the names of all things, and learned how to speak. Then Allah said He had created a spouse for him, from His spirit. Almighty Allah creates his spouse using the same method, a method known to Him. He looked at her. A love developed, as that is how Allah created them. Then they had children. Their brothers and sisters, Almighty Allah made them lawful for one another at first. That was not incest. It is fine if Allah makes it lawful. Blood brothers and sisters got married at first. Then after their numbers reached a certain level, Allah made it unlawful. In other words, moral values stem from the Qur'an. It is fine if Allah says it is lawful. But bigots have a problem with this. They try to find an answer to that, too. Bigots dislike the moral values revealed by Allah.
Surat Al'Imran, 59-60;
"He created him from earth and then He said to him,'Be!' and he was."
At once. What do people say. "Evolution took millions of years." No way. Allah made a pottery statue, "and he was." He suddenly stood up. "He Who has created all things in the best possible way. He commenced the creation of man from clay;" Baked clay, earth. Allah says He shaped man out of clay. Almighty Allah. Look, "When your Lord said to the angels, 'I am creating a human being out of dried clay formed from fetid black mud. When I have formed him and breathed My Spirit into him, fall down in prostration in front of him!'" says Almighty Allah. "He created him from earth." This is pottery clay. What is baked earth? Pottery. Allah emphasizes that it is dense clay. The term makes it clear it is pottery clay. Not just any old mud. Classic pottery clay. The kind of clay that rings when hit, that emits that ringing sound.
(In response to a viewer who asks, "If the Mahdi (pbuh) has come and is alive, why do people who recognize him not say this is the Mahdi (pbuh)? I also want to follow him. Allah knows. I would be grateful if could make a statement about this.")
In my view the presence of the Mahdi (pbuh) will be felt. There is no question of that not being understood. There was a problem of being in Bediuzzaman's time but not recognizing him. What does "I am not sure" mean? If I were in Bediuzzaman's time, I would dedicate my life to serving him. I would not have allowed him to be tortured, by the law of Allah. They could not have done it. He would have been served really well. Could one say "I am not sure" on seeing Bediuzzaman? "I am in two minds, he looks like him, but then again he does not." It is clear that he was the Mahdi of that time. A five-year-old could recognize him. They deliberately misunderstanding. How could he not be recognized? There is no question of his not being recognized. For example, people say not to discuss what the way of the Mahdi is. Why should they ban the reading of the Treatise of Light? Look, they are 100% sure that the Mahdi has appeared, not just 99%. They are 100% sure. That has never been seen before. They say people should not read the parts of the Treatise of Light concerning the Mahdi, some 300 pages. If you talk about a meeting, they tell you not to mention this subject. You cannot mention the hadiths or make any statements. They raise a chorus, those who take an interest, and shout out loud. "The Mahdi (pbuh) will not come! The Mahdi (pbuh) will not come." Never in the 1400 years of Islam have so many people said the Mahdi will not be coming. A chorus of tens or hundreds of thousands, millions of people, saying, "The Mahdi will not come." Never before. People have always said the Mahdi will be coming. One or two people in corners may have said the Mahdi will not be coming. But these have always been regarded as rather eccentric. Such a mass of people saying that the Mahdi will not come is a characteristic of the End Times, and Rasulullah (saas) says this is one of the main portents of his appearing. "Many people in the End Times will say that the Mahdi (pbuh) will not come," he says. Rasulullah (saas) says that "the Mahdi (pbuh) will appear in the midst of all this talk." "The Mahdi (pbuh) is one of my children," he says.
(In response to a viewer who asks, "The other day on a program they talked about how ray technology and time travel appear in the Qur'an and how this may be real, not a fantasy. There is something I have also heard on your program. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear with the banner, sword and short of our Prophet (saas). How can anyone wear a shirt that is 1500 years old. How could someone who does not claim to be the Mahdi (pbuh) carry and wear the banner, sword and shirt of our Prophet (saas)? Will he say, "I am the Mahdi. Follow me"? Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will travel in time in some way. He may have a time machine he built himself, or else, by the will of Allah, he may assume a form similar to that of the Prophet (saas) during his ascension and travel like that. Thanks to that travel he will personally be a follower of our Prophet (saas) and personally wear his sword and shirt. We will come to serve with complete confidence in himself.")
For one thing, the shirt is not 1500 years old, but 1400, more or less. It is approaching 1500 years. It is not a short, but a mantle. Have you seen the mantle of Rasulullah (saas)? Go and see it in Topkapı. The most perfect weaving technique. It is woven in the most perfect and unseen manner. It is woven in a really top-class way, making it very long-lasting. Allah made it like that. It has been restored, to make it so that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) can wear it. That is one thing. Rasulullah's (saas) is also bright and sound. That is still around. Two. The mantle, not the shirt, of Rasulullah (saas) is one thing. The sword is two. Both are still very sound. How can he wear them? He will just stretch out his hand. He will say "in the name of Allah" and put them on. Simple as that. He will take the sword. The sheath is ready. He will affix it to his belt. He will say "in the name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful". He will draw the sword and wave it. The sword of Rasulullah (saas). He will wave it again as a blessing and show it, saying Ya Allah Bismillah. That will be a major event. Many people there will die, may Allah forbid. That will be done as a blessing. He will then put on the mantle, as a blessing. He will not claim to be the Mahdi then. The people around him will say, "You are the leader and the imam of Muslims." He will not say he is the Mahdi. "You look a lot like the blessed Mahdi," they will say. He will say, "May Allah be pleased. That is merely your good opinion." In other words, leave the details to me. They are not a problem.
The Sacred Mantle is in the form of a shirt. It is as if brand new. Insha'Allah. Like armor, insha'Allah. The spirituality of Rasulullah (saas) will enfold him, insha'Allah. What does Rasulullah (saas) say? "The Mahdi (saas) will wear this mantle of mine. Preserve it. Keep it, for the Mahdi will come." And he shows his sword. "My chills, the Mahdi, will use this sword. Preserve this, too." And the scholars of Islam scrupulously preserved the mantle and sword for the Mahdi to use. He ordered their preservation. "He will use this sword of mine and will wear this mantle," he says. They have been preserved just as they were. He will take them and say "I seek refuge from the accursed satan. In the name of Allah". That is all. But he will not claim to be the Mahdi. He will say, "I am the most humble servant of Allah." But the scholars will say, "We know it is you." The whole Islamic scholars. Bediüzzaman says; "The whole Islamic scholars will come together an try to make his assume this work." The entire scholars will support him. All of them. Apart from the bigots. "I am a weak and lowly servant of Allah. Thanks be to Allah," he will say. "Allah has bestowed this honor on me," he will say. The Mahdi (pbuh) will make no pretension to being the Mahdi. Nor will he allow those around him to address him like that. "Blessed one, you much resemble him," they will say. "You really look like him. You have the same appearance, your life and dates are the same, the flow of events is the same. You really look like him, And we…" they will say. "We are in a state of spiritual intoxication. We are drunk with joy," they will say. "He matches the description exactly," they will say. That is what will happen.
There is no question of traveling in time. Time comes to him, not he to time. Khidr travels through time. Look at Khidhr, he enters the mirror and comes out again. He walks through walls. He assumes the form of a table. He is a most amazing and fascinating person. He is not a Muslim or a Christian or a Jew. He follows his own sharia. He has not obligation to pray or fast or worship. He is bound by his own law. He receives revelation from Allah, and he kills. "That is what I thought best," he says. Khidhr heeds neither the laws of states nor the law of Islam. Nor does he heed Judaic law. But when, through revelation from Allah, he sees a threat to Islam or the way of the Mahdi or Jesus the Messiah, the he will kill, or kill for no reason. He can kill without breaking necks. He can kill with nobody knowing. Nobody can tell who was responsible. That person is found dead. And you can investigate all you like, you can never find the culprit.
He is a master stonemason. He builds perfect walls. In that sense he is the forebear of the freemasons. The great elder, insha'Allah. At the same time, he is very loving. He will bomb or destroy a building if necessary. He can bring down a whole apartment block or other building. Let us imagine a system like the Twin Towers. He destroys it, and you can never find the culprit. He brings it down. But you cannot find the cause. But he produces a chain reaction. He knows what will happen when He brings it down. He knows the background, that is history. He knows what will happen afterward. He goes and destroys the building. He shapes the course of history. By Allah's leave. He may say "This person is a danger to Islam and Muslims" when he is still only 17 or 18. "He will be a threat in the future," he may say. "He will damage the way of the Mahdi." Or he may say, "This person will harm the way of the Mahdi" at the age of 25. Then he will break that person's neck and kill him. Leaving no evidence or clues behind. You can never attribute it to him.
The Prophet Moses (pbuh) was amazed when he killed the youngster. Suddenly, for no reason. "Do not ask me why I killed him," he says. He sabotages that ship. So it sinks to the bottom. "Do not ask. I will do these things," he says. He put a lot of work in on the wall, making it just perfect. Khidr (pbuh) is wonderful craftsman. He also served as a master mason on the construction of the palace of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Look, we still do not know how those stones were brought in and carved. They say they may have been cut using lasers. They could not have been cut using iron, by hand. They say it is only possible with lasers. I am not exaggerating. I am saying the truth. Go and look. The proof is there. Nobody can prove anything else, scientifically. No-one. Nobody can explain how that stone got there. That granite rock the size of an apartment block. It is carved to perfection, as if with a razor blade, in a single block. I have shown pictures of it in Israel. There are many places that cannot be explained. He is a great stonemason. The masons are huge admirers of Hazrat Khidr (pbuh).
"The Mahdi (pbuh) will follow in my path, he will not waken the sleeper nor cause anyone's nose to bleed." "He will shed no blood." That is definitive. "He will leave no Sunnah unrestored and no subsequent addition to removed." What is a subsequent addition? Something invented by bigots. Bigots imagine that he will raise the matter of bigot policies and turn people away from the truths of the Qur'an. That is the exact opposite of what Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will do. But all subsequent additions that are not compatible with the Qur'an are nonsense. Inventions. "In the End Times," says our Prophet (saas) "he will apply the requirements of the faith, just like me." "He will reign over all the world, like Dhu'lQarnayn and Solomon (pbuh)." "Is that possible?" they say. "Allah did not bestow global reign on the Prophet (saas), so He will not bestow it on the Mahdi (pbuh)," they say. How stupid! Our Prophet (saas) himself says, "He bestowed reign on Dhu'lQarnayn and Solomon, but not on me." "But He will bestow in on my child, the Mahdi (pbuh)." Global reign has been bestowed on three people, Dhu'lQarnayn and Solomon (pbuh) and the Mahdi (pbuh). Who says this? Our Prophet (saas). Instead of heeding these words of our Prophet (saas), whom they should love and respect, these imbeciles, these impudent guys – and my apologies to those who speak out of mere ignorance – take it upon themselves not to go along with what the Prophet (saas) says. "He will restore all things to Muslims." He will restore all rights to Muslims that have been taken away from them. "The world will be filled with justice, instead of oppression and injustice." Look, he says that torture will disappear. Oppression will cease. "He will distribute all things equally, in true and just measures." People look to socialism and communism. But what does our Prophet (pbuh) say? "He will distribute all things equally, in true and just measures." He will share them among everyone. What need is there for socialism? This is social justice. "Thus the denizens of the earth and sky, the birds in the air and the wild animals in the forests and the fish in the sea, will all be content with him." In other words, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will also love all animals. "Nobody from the community of Muhammed (saas) will not be pleased with him." Everyone will be pleased with him. "They will ask whether there is nobody in need, and everyone will answer that they have no needs" says Rasulullah (saas). "Mercy will rain down from the sky, and mercy will increase on earth and he will find all treasure." The Mahdi (pbuh) will discover those sacred relics. "All countries will open their gates to him." All countries, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and all. "People will come and shelter with him from all sides, as bees shelter in their hives." The bee hive is also a symbol in freemasonry. It represents the Mahdi (pbuh). And Adonai. The hive and the bee. "Three thousand angels will assist the Mahdi (pbuh). Gabriel will head the angels, and Micheal will be at the end." Gabriel will constantly help the Mahdi (pbuh). That is why no hypocrites or unbelievers will be able to overcome the Mahdi (pbuh). "The wolf will graze with the sheep in his time." The characteristics of savage animals will disappear. "Children will play with snakes and scorpions, and people will reap seven hundred measures of what for every one measure they sow." That refers to modern agriculture. "Usury" is a great scourge at the moment. "There will be no more evils such as plague, adultery or alcohol. Life spans will be extended and all entrusted things will be returned. Evils will be eradicated. Nobody will be left who is not a believer." Love of believers has begun spreading. This was not really talked about before. But we hear about it everywhere now. "His word will be loved among people." People will be delighted with the Mahdi (pbuh) and will love his words. They will want to listen to him. That is a characteristic of the Mahdi (pbuh). His conversation al words are delightful. "Allah will put an end to corruption through him." All anarchy, the PKK for instance, will come to an end. "Peace and security will reign on earth." There will be no more conflict or clashes with police. "A woman will be able to go on the pilgrimage, with five other women, without fear, with no man to accompany them." Look. Without fear! This means there was fear before. They could not travel freely before. But our Prophet (saas) says women will be able to move round freely with their friends.

I know this is kind of a sore topic in these current economic times. Indeed, since good-paying jobs are so rare nowadays, even the very idea of this blog post's title might strike many people as ridiculous. Well, once you get out of the survival mode many job seekers are definitely in, the realization will strike you, sooner or later, that there is more to work than the paycheck you get every 15 days. In fact, the longer you work at a job, the more you start asking yourself 'why?' Of course, you only ask this question if you don't like what you do or if you feel there is something missing from what you do 8 hours a day, day after day, five days a week. Indeed, this post's title truly gets to the meat of the issue of job fulfillment. Would you work at your job even if you don't get paid? If you answered 'no', buck up. You are hardly alone. In fact, most people would say they wouldn't do their jobs if they aren't getting paid.
While it's nice to get paid a gazillion bucks doing what you'd love to do, it probably isn't going to happen anytime soon. So instead of me going into a Tony Robbins mode and saying you should quit your jobs and start shooting for the stars, I'm going to focus on giving you advice that is closer to home. Indeed, this advice is more practical since it involves something easier to do than giving everything up and going for broke shooting for your dreams. Instead of looking for the ideal job, here's a crazy idea: why not find a way to be happy with your current job. I know it sounds wacky. But if you think about it, it is way more realistic than burning all your ships behind you and going for broke Instead of finding El Dorado you might just find an abandoned Taco Bell. It's better to work with what you have than trying to come up with something that currently doesn't exist and, in all likelihood, will never exist.
Working for Passion
The first step in transforming your current job into something you'd do even if you weren't getting paid is to find the aspects of your job that fulfill your passions. For example, one girl I know was heavily interested in finding a way how to make your hair grow faster (some great tips by grow hair guru), which might be quite odd to some people. Not to her. It was her passion. What part of your job matches stuff that you get passionate about. Believe it or not, even the most mundane job will have something that appeals to your passion. For example, if you manually pop cucumber pickles into jars for a living, get passionate about pickles or serving the people that will enjoy that food. Find a glimmer of passion in whatever you do. The same applies to everything else in life. The last few months I gradually became the victim of a slower and slower computer. With the same passion I put into my job I starting combating this annoying problem. After finding several (paid) tools I finally found a great website (http://www.speed-up-pc.org) with a lot of free tips to make your computer faster. After a few hours and using several little tricks I got my computer to run very smoothly again! A little bit goes a long way.
Working for A Sense Of Meaning
Aristotle taught that people are purpose-driven creatures. We do things because these things give us a purpose. Find your passion in what you do and derive a sense of purpose from it. Think of things greater than yourself. Living for others and feeling part of something bigger means that whatever you're doing is never meaningless, pointless, and boring, like learning as rookie cook how to hard boil eggs, which is possible for anyone by reading simple guides like this one from EggTutor. We're all part of something bigger. Realize it. Believe it. Celebrate it daily.

My job involves HTML-izing a lot of reports. Most of these start off as Word docs, and many contain images.
The images usually have a note below, like this:
[image here]Figure 1: picture of a mouse
I want the page to look tidy, so I try to nest smaller images within the document and let the body text wrap around them. This is easy to do with a div, and I'm using this CSS:
.imgleft { float:left; padding:0px 10px 5px 0px }
(there's also one to float the image right).
This works just fine, until I have a note for the image. Since the note text has no way of knowing how wide the image is, I have to use
 tags to keep the text from pushing the div to the right and creating blank space. The only word-around is to assign a width to the div, but since all the images are a different width, that gets clunky.
I don't know of any way to put a div around the image and not let the text push it wider. Does anyone else?
I can't think of a way to do that with CSS, but you could do it with JS.
A CSS alternative might be to work out the likely minimum width of potential images, and then set that as a width or max-width for the caption. That will mean it won't be as wide as some images, but does that matter?
Having the image wider than the text is fine. The only thing is that if we have a wider image, and a long string of text, it'll grow vertically, and make whitespace that way.
[ s u p e r d u p e r w i d e i m a g e ]figure 1:this is asuper wideimage.
I should just mandate an image width of like 40% of the content area width, then make everyone re-size their images
Is this what you have in mind?

How to Ask Him Out Without Him Knowing It
Sick of waiting to be swept off your feet like the heroine of a Victorian novel? Quit playing hard to get and take control of your dating destiny (you know, without being scary-aggressive).
-Angelica Catalano, YouBeauty.com
Seinfeld fans may recall an episode where a guy makes ridiculous bets with Elaine ("Dustin Hoffman was in i"). His intention: To purposefully lose and have to buy Elaine dinner. This artful scheme of asking someone out without them knowing it sounds like the stuff of fiction, but it happens more than you think.
Emily Neimanis, an associate producer in Rochester, NY was once tricked into having a date when she was a junior in high school. "I thought it would be a normal Saturday night hangout with many people. But when we got there it was a total set-up," she says.
There was only one other couple there. "I was of course confused, but it turned even more 'datey' when we all went into the basement (lights off) and watched a movie." Classic.
The best part: The other couple left Emily alone with the guy. It worked, though—Emily ended up dating him for two years.
Read What's Your Magic Sex Number?
Sneaky dates happen well past high school. YouBeauty reader Margot shares, "I reconnected with my old high school chem lab partner after 10 years at our reunion this summer, and he invited me out to a hockey game," Margot says. "I thought we were going with friends… but he ended up asking if I wanted to get dinner with him after. It was like an ambush date!" At first, it seemed like his approach didn't work. But Margot and he began growing a relationship, and are still together today.
Ambush-dating someone doesn't have to be awkward. Admit it: At some point, you've wanted to ask a guy out but couldn't muster up the nerve because either you were afraid you'd come off sounding like a spaz, or you were scared of rejection (or both).
First off, you may be met with shrieks of horror when you confide in your friends and family that you're going to ask a guy out. And it's not just your old-fashioned mom who insists you assume the conventional role of "the pursued." It's also your forward-thinking friend who lives by the "He's Just Not That Into You" logic: A guy will chase you if he really wants to see you. But in reality, this isn't always the case, according to YouBeauty Relationship Expert David Sbarra, Ph.D. A man may not initiate, even if he really wants to get to know you.
"Men don't ask women out for all kinds of reasons that have nothing to do with interest level—they're shy, scared, self-conscious, et cetera," Sbarra says.
Before swearing off a man who doesn't step up right away, consider this: He might not want to be forward and "overstep his boundaries."

Rangyayo (or Anglicised name Rangyan) is the language spoken on Rangya Islands (no bigger than Luxembourg or roughly twice as big as Hong Kong) near Okinawa prefecture of Japan in East China Sea.
In Sinitic mythology, Rangya Islands hold the secrets of elixir of life. There are magical fruits growing on the islands that can heal any disease, grant eternal youth, and even raise the dead.
Historically, various emperors in ancient China sent their alchemists to the eastern seas to find the fabled elixir, but to no avail. Historical text stated that Rangya was found instead.
Rangyayo is an agglutinative, nominative-accusative and head-final language. It has no grammatical genders. Nouns are declined according to case but not number, gender or definitiveness. Verbs can be conjugated according to voice, tense and aspect.
1. /ŋ/ appears only in the syllable coda.
2. /s, z/ are palatalised [ɕ, ʑ] before /i, j/
3. /h/ is palatalised [ç] before /i, j/; and is bilabialised [ɸ] before /u, w/
4. /ts, dz, tsʰ/ are palatalised [tɕ, dʑ, tɕʰ] before /i, j/
5. /ɾ/ is an alveolar flap [ɾ] in the syllable onset; and is [l] in the syllable coda.
1. /i/ is pronounced /ɪ/ before velar codas /ŋ, k̚/
2. /u/ is /ʊ/ before velar codas /ŋ, k̚/
1. /ju/ is pronounced /jʊ/ before velar codas /ŋ, k̚/
2. /uɪ/ is a falling diphthong [uɪ] after a consonant in an open syllable; and is a rising diphthong [wi] when it is a syllable of its own or in a closed syllable.
I will share more about Rangyayo here when I have more spare time as lately I have been busy editing the Rangyayo page at conlang.wikia.com
If anyone here is interested in East Asian conlang or linguistics, you are welcomed to join my East Asian Conlangs MSN group, or you can PM me your MSN contact so I can add you to the group.

Really, it always amazes me how these top tens are done in such manner they make Twilight the supreme perfection, to emphasize a point. Especially the ones that begin with "Top 10 reasons.."
Well guys, if you hadn't noticed, those aren't real reasons or even close to what a reason should sound like.
So I would like to say the following....
The reason why the Twilight series are amazing isn't because they are amazing.
Carlisle Cullen isn't awesome because he's secretly Santa Claus and he brings you presents every year.
The awesomeness of Edward Cullen doesn't come from the non-fact that he "was" in Harry Potter.
The reason why the Volturi want to destroy the Cullens....."because they are afraid the Cullens will destroy them and take their power", and..."because they are afraid."
Reasons you should be on team Rosalie...don't.
So basically the reason you should be on team Seth is because Boo Boo Stewart is hot.
Bella is stupid...because people just can't take the fact Kristen Stewart is beautiful. Leave.Kristen.Alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what are you saying? That Twilight is wrong because of the-supposedly-sexual scenes in Breaking Dawn? Oh they didn't need to explain everything in detail?
Ohhhhh wait...they don't.-.-'
It was actually a huge mistake that Catherine Hardwicke did not include Twilight page by page in the movie. Such a shame they took 4 seconds away for the waitress.
Alec's cuteness is all you need to keep you going through all those pages and pages of Edward angst and Bella whimper.
So basically that doesn't even begin to cover it, but I just wanted to point out how fans tend to lose their common sense and start acting like a 3 year old. I'm telling you, Edward is REAL!! REAL I TELL YOU!

The NT420S was specifically engineered to provide confident performance in rain or shine. The outer shoulder has large, continuous blocks to improve dry traction, while the inner shoulder channels away water for wet performance. The NT420S has a non-directional tread pattern that can be rotated front to back and side-to-side. This freedom of rotation can provide even wear across the tread and reduce the irregular wear that is commonly associated with directional tires. Even wear ensures a quieter, more comfortable ride and longer tread life. The result is a stress-free, high performance radial.
I have had these tires on numerous Yukons over the past 3 years. However, this last set that I bought in March of this year is horrible. It feels like a mud-tire. It is vibrating my Yukon apart!!!! The supplier/distributor won't even listen to me. I plan on taking them to court if I have to.

Yes, I suppose so. (I can tell that you're asking about the door lying on [something].)
Mynd oddi tanynt means "going from under them", which sounds a bit off. Mynd danyn nhw would be the usual way to say "going under them" in modern Welsh. Tanynt sounds quite literary. If you want to use that form, it would be better to cast the whole sentence in the same register, i.e. Haws dywedyd cathod na myned tanynt.
Oh, okay. That particular sentence was my somewhat clueless attempt at correcting "haws dweud na chathod i fynd oddi tanynt".

In a new Financial Times ebook, on sale globally today, Barney Jopson and other FT writers lift the lid on a company which has grown from online book business into overlord of a corporate eco-system over which it wields extraordinary power. Read more

If last week saw creative directors playing musical chairs, with Hannah MacGibbon out at Chloe, to be replaced by Pringle's ex Clare Waight Keller, and Patrick Robinson dumped by the Gap, today it looks like it's corporate's turn. British accessory success story Anya Hindmarch has announced a new CEO, its first outside exec ever, in the form of James McArthur, while at Boucheron PPR says Jean-Christophe Bedos is being replaced by Pierre Bouissou, who left as managing director of rival LVMH's Berluti last year.

A STUN-GUN and drugs were found during a police raid on a home in High Wycombe this afternoon.
Officers swooped on the house in Green Street at 12.30pm and retrieved a substantial amount of Class A and B drugs, and the stun-gun.
A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of drugs, firearms and immigration offences, police confirmed.
He is currently in police custody, Thames Valley Police added.
Det Insp Robin Hughes, investigating, said: "The misuse of drugs and any drug related activity are huge priorities for the police in Wycombe.
"I hope that today's activity shows that if you choose to carry out such behaviour in our policing area, then expect to be caught."

Latin American Studies
Program overview
Major/minor: Latin American Studies
Latin American Studies is a flexible, interdisciplinary program designed to provide students with a broad knowledge of Latin American culture and history. Our majors select courses from a range of disciplines including anthropology, art, economics and business, history, Latin American literature and culture, politics, religion, and Spanish.
In addition to our standard course list, students also enjoy a variety of topics courses and independent study opportunities to explore subjects of particular interest.
One Course At A Time
The One Course At A Time curriculum allows our students to be immersed in one class for three and a half weeks without the interference of other course work. Because of the small class size (cap of 25 students), it is a great opportunity for students who want to have in-depth discussions and personalized instruction.
Off-campus study
One Course At A Time makes it possible for students to travel to travel to countries like Guatemala for immersive language instruction. Cornell's associations with the ACM (the Associated Colleges of the Midwest) and SIT (School for International Training), also provide access to semester-long programs in Costa Rica, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. In addition, Cornell faculty lead various block-long courses to Latin America: the Spanish department regularly takes students to Mexico and Bolivia, and students in areas as diverse as economics and business, education, and biology have all traveled to Latin America recently. Many of these programs are outlined in greater detail on the Spanish website.
Latin American Studies prepares students for many different kinds of graduate school or career experiences and can be especially useful in such careers as government service (both foreign and domestic), the ministry and other forms of church service, journalism, teaching, international business and trade, social work, and international service organizations in the United States and abroad.

Mont Bleu
Beauty products are obviously of interest to me. A beauty product with Swarovski Crystals…extra interesting, and gorgeous! Two of the three beauty products that were sent to me have them as an added decorative touch to the products. The Swarovski Crystals have a very unique light reflecting quality to them due to the unique amount of edges. Mont Bleu is a company whose glass nail files I have previously reviewed, and they have sent three beauty products for me to share with you today: a compact mirror, tweezers and a glass foot file.
Mont Bleu is based in Prague, Czech Republic, and they produce and decorate, their products with crystals from CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements. Check out the Mont Bleu online shop.
This is the amazing photo that Mont Bleu uses on Twitter (they spell it Mont Blue there).

PopCap Makes Life Fun!
We're the leading creators of easy-to-learn, irresistible games that everyone can enjoy — including award-winning hits like Bejeweled®, Zuma®, Peggle® and Plants vs. Zombies™.
Years in the making, our games are sprinkled with a whirlwind of smile-inducing awesomeness and polished to a timeless sheen that keeps the world coming back for more. And best of all, you can play our games everywhere: PC and Mac, iPhone and iPad, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Facebook... maybe even the moon!
The PopCap Story
PopCap's founders Brian Fiete, John Vechey and Jason Kapalka join forces to make simple, fun, ad-supported Java games that are free to play.
The Internet bubble bursts, ad income dries up, and our fearless founders are left holding their first great hit — Bejeweled® — with no way to keep their business afloat.
Undeterred, they create their first downloadable PC game,
Bejeweled Deluxe®. Soon orders begin rolling in. By the hundreds... every hour... day after day... from all over the world.
The rest is... well, the #1 puzzle series of the 21st century!
The success of Bejeweled lets PopCap experiment with other game ideas. We start off by creating Bookworm®, featuring Lex, the world's greatest literate invertebrate.
Bookworm earns Computer Gaming World's Puzzle Game of the Year. Bejeweled arrives on mobile phones, lottery tickets, even airplane entertainment. Oh, and we manage to create another gigantic hit, Zuma®.
Bejeweled® 2 arrives and is a huge hit. If that's not enough,
Computer Gaming World inducts Bejeweled into the CGW Hall of Fame — it's the first puzzle game since Tetris to receive the honor.
PopCap is blossoming from a tiny little game studio into one of the world's leading game creators. And our games are growing up, too — with adaptations arriving on platforms like iPod and Xbox 360.
Peggle® becomes a smash hit for our casual games audience, and finds success among hardcore gamers, too. Oh, and with all our success, we're growing fast. Our first international office in Dublin, Ireland, is hard at work, and we're planning our second international studio in Shanghai, China.
Bejeweled Twist™ offers a new spin on the world's #1 puzzle game, and Bejeweled Blitz, PopCap's first social game, debuts on Facebook. It doesn't take long for both games to become fan favorites.
We release our newest game, Plants vs. Zombies™, and it quickly becomes one of the biggest hits in PopCap® history. Meanwhile, our games (including Bejeweled and Peggle) are huge hits on Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo DS, and iPhone.
Plants vs. Zombies becomes the fastest-selling game in iPhone history, and then the fun-dead action becomes the top game on XBLA. Zuma Blitz becomes our second social game, and quickly gets millions of players worldwide. And because we like to keep busy, we release our biggest, brightest gem: Bejeweled 3!
So here we are: we've come a long way in just over 10 years, but one thing has never changed: we're all about making great games. We have over 400 whip-smart, talented and happy employees in offices all over the world — from Seattle, San Francisco and Vancouver, B.C. to Dublin, Shanghai and Tokyo. And we're as busy as ever dreaming up new ways to make life fun!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/5/2012 (1935 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It is THE event on the hockey calendar for many and showcases a number of the world's elite players chasing a coveted championship.
And yet the entire tourney is predominantly met by North Americans with a collective shrug of the shoulders.
But consider this while fans get all wrapped up in the drama of the Stanley Cup playoffs: the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships, which begin Friday in Finland and Sweden, is billed as the biggest annual winter sports event worldwide.
Now, we know what some of you might be thinking: even the dullest NHL playoff game beats the heck out of France vs. Kazakhstan at the worlds. No argument there, whatsoever.
But here are three reasons why the event might be worth your attention over the next 16 days and a collection of other tidbits in our handy-dandy worlds primer:
Suiting up for Canada are Jets captain Andrew Ladd and leading goal-scorer Evander Kane; Jim Slater is on the American squad while Alex Burmistrov will be representing Russia.
There could have been more but Ondrej Pavelec (who starred last year for the Czech Republic) is not playing and neither are Tobias Enstrom (Sweden) and Americans Blake Wheeler, Zach Bogosian and Dustin Byfuglien, all of whom were approached but ended the season battling or recovering from injuries.
Last week Ladd said this about facing a Jet teammate like Slater at the worlds:
"It's funny... if you've been around awhile you're playing against guys you've known for a long time all the time in the NHL. You get used to it. Most of us are so competitive you want to beat the guy so bad anyway. There's more incentive to do better."
When it was suggested that he'd never hear the end of it if the Americans were to win, Ladd grinned and added: "No... so that's not going to happen."
Before you get all high and mighty about Canada's place in international hockey's pecking order, consider this: Sidney Crosby's golden goal in Vancouver was more than two years ago and, since then, our lads have stumbled at the worlds, finishing fifth last year and seventh in 2010. That has dramatically affected our IIHF ranking, now fifth.
This tournament's final standings are massive as it sets up the seeding and qualifying for the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. The top nine countries earn byes to the Olympics with three more berths coming from qualifying tournaments that will be held during the NHL season.
It's never too early to make a good first impression, as the saying goes, and already national hockey federations have begun piecing together tentative rosters for Sochi in 2014. Ladd said when Team Canada officials called, he jumped at the opportunity to keep playing but also admitted playing in an event like this 'doesn't hurt' a guy's chances for 2014.
Worth noting: four members of Team Canada are making their third consecutive trip to the worlds -- Jordan Eberle and Devan Dubnyk (Edmonton), John Tavares (New York Islanders) and Kane (Winnipeg). That speaks of their skill set, their patriotism and, yes, how lousy their NHL teams have been over the last three years.
No host team has won the tournament since the Soviet Union in 1986. Finland, co-hosting the event with Sweden, is attempting to become the first team since the Soviets in 1979 to defend a gold medal on home ice.
Team Canada's lineup features three 2010 Olympians -- Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Duncan Keith.
Former Buffalo Sabres/New York Islanders boss Ted Nolan, the NHL's Coach of the Year in 1996-97, is the head coach of Latvia.
Former Winnipeg Jet assistant coach (mid-'90s) Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is the Russian head coach.
Petr Nedved, now 40, will be making his IIHF debut for the Czechs. Nedved defected to Canada and represented our country at the 1994 Olympics, but also the Czechs at the World Cup.
Ladd's scouting report on Team Canada: "We've got a lot of skilled forwards, we've got some 'D' that can move the puck and some great goaltenders. At the end of the day with Brent Sutter coaching you're going to have a hard-nosed team and we're going to play hard. It's just about finding roles and everybody buying in."
Everett Silvertips defenceman Ryan Murray, eligible for this June's NHL draft and ranked second by Central Scouting, is seeing regular ice time with Canada.
Canada's captain will be Getzlaf, with Dion Phaneuf and Patrick Sharp wearing the 'A'.
The Jets' Slater was named Thursday as one of U.S.A.'s assistant captains along with Nate Thompson of Tampa. Jack Johnson of Columbus will be the American captain.
A new format sees the 16 countries split into two groups, using the IIHF rankings. Each team will play seven preliminary-round games with the top four teams in each group advancing to the quarterfinals. Teams that finish last will be relegated to Division 1.
The tournament will see 64 games played with the top teams having to play 10 games to reach the final.

4. Czech Republic
5. Canada

text: Lawmakers nominating new leaders for 2013-14 By Lawrence Messina December 9, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Senate President Jeff Kessler and House Speaker Rick Thompson each kept the unanimous backing of his fellow Democrats during closed-door party-line Sunday meetings to nominate top leaders for the upcoming 81st Legislature.With Senate Republicans planning to caucus Monday, House GOP members re-nominated Minority Leader Tim Armstead as their choice after gaining 11 seats in a November election that narrowed the Democrats' share of that chamber to 54 out of 100 delegates. The newly elected members took part in Sunday's 35-minute meeting.The House GOP leader since 2007, Armstead told his caucus that the House Chamber has never seen so many seats occupied by Republicans in the more than 80 years since the state Capitol's completion. During the 1943-1944 Legislature, the GOP held 44 of 94 seats."All of our members are very excited about the opportunities that this provides,'' Armstead, of Kanawha County, said Sunday of his party's inroads. "They ran very hard on the issues that we all believe are important to the people of West Virginia. ... We're ready to get to work and make those things happen.''The House and Senate will each gavel in briefly Jan. 9 to elect a speaker and president as well as non-member officers: clerk, doorkeeper and sergeant-at-arms. The House must choose new officers for the latter two posts. Fellow Democrats nominated Sen. Joe Minard of Harrison County on Sunday to fill a vacancy as that body's clerk.Minard would have to resign his Senate seat to take that office, creating a third vacancy there. Sen. Orphy Klempa resigned after Sunday's caucus as he's been elected to the Ohio County Commission. Sen. Walt Helmick of Pocahontas will do the same when he's sworn in as state agriculture commissioner on Jan. 14. Both Klempa and Helmick are Democrats. Republicans picked up three Senate seats on Nov. 6, increasing their margin in that chamber to nine of 34 members.Armstead said the House GOP agenda will include an intermediate court of appeals, a targeting of taxes on non-real estate property and changes to the state's public schools system in the wake of a much-discussed education audit. At least some of those topics are also on the to-do list of Democrats, including Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin."With the education audit, we want to see what [Tomblin's] recommendations are,'' Thompson, of Wayne County, said before his nomination for a fourth term as speaker. "We are going to work his recommendations, and we may go beyond them.''Kessler also cited education changes as well as the budget and inmate crowding as top issues Sunday. Kessler became president in November 2011 following Tomblin's election as governor in a special election. He previously served as acting president while Tomblin, who was president, acted as governor from late 2010 until that time after now-U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin resigned as the state's chief executive."I'd also like to take on, and have been following very closely, child poverty issues,'' Kessler said. "I think that's something that we need to make a linchpin of the [2013] session as well.''Armstead, Thompson and Kessler are all lawyers. Senate Republicans are expected to re-nominate Minority Leader Mike Hall, a Putnam County financial adviser, during their Monday meeting.Each Legislature lasts two years. Besides annual 60-day regular sessions, lawmakers hold a three-day series of interim study meetings most months during that time. The Legislature will recess from Jan. 9 until Feb. 13, when the 2013 session begins in earnest with Tomblin presenting his proposed budget and State of the State address.

Though the air is growing noticeably crisp and Labor Day seems to mark the official end of summer, by my account it's still grilling season until I'm in my winter coat. So turn to the coals this weekend, and fire up your grill to prepare more than just your conventional steaks and burgers. Meat lovers and vegetarians alike can appreciate the charred, smoky flavor of the grill on anything from fruits to flatbreads.
Here are five unusual foods to grill this weekend:
Get the Recipe: Pork Chops With Yuzu Miso Marinade (pictured above)
Kick off your grilling festivities with this Japanese-inspired pork chop glazed with red miso, sake, sweet Japanese rice wine and red yuzu. Simply grill until the sizzling chop is charred and juicy.
Get the Recipe: Beet, Bacon and Herbed Goat Cheese Flatbread
This chewy, char-grilled flatbread offers a triple whammy of flavor: sweet roasted beets, smoky bacon and creamy goat cheese make a surprisingly delightful topping combination.
Get the Recipe: Grilled Bananas With Maple Crème Fraiche
Opt for the sweeter side of grilling with these grilled banana halves. Top the tender, warm bananas with cool maple crème fraiche to complete this summertime treat.
Get the Recipe: Grilled Focaccia Sandwich
This hot-off-the-grill focaccia makes the perfect gooey salty pocket of Parmigiano cheese and prosciutto.
