About the Book
Historical romance was born when Kathleen E. Woodiwiss gifted the world with the groundbreaking The Flame and the Flower. Now, twelve New York Times bestsellers later, "The first lady of the genre" (Publishers Weekly) returns with her most breathtaking masterwork—a glorious celebration of a secret love that is dangerous, irresistible, forbidden, and . . . Everlasting
Handsome and kind—a black-haired Scotsman with vivid blue eyes—Raven Seabern is an emissary for his king, and unlike any man Abrielle has ever encountered. From the moment their eyes meet, he intrigues and mesmerizes her—and dancing in his arms at a royal banquet leaves her weak with the desire to surrender. But their love can never be, for Abrielle is betrothed to a "monster." And the well-being of everyone she cares for demands that she honor her promise.
Still, the fire lit that night will not be doused. Raven knows he has found the true one and must never let her go—though secrets, deceptions, dishonor, and unimaginable peril will surely be their fate if they follow the dictates of their hearts.

So you end up trying to mimic the sound it was making… only to feel ridiculous.

Disabled room
After receiving a call warning us of a long walk to room it wasn't far at all and very manageable for my wife and no steps.
We had been upgraded from the small double which I only booked as said walkin shower. Room given had walk in shower and was very nice. Also used the swimming pool. My criticism is we had trouble finding via sat nav as no property number so ut took us to next village. Post office should give them their own postcode.

My Trip
I was very impressed with the service provided by the manager and his staff, they went out of there way to make my trip enjoyable.
As I came on my motorbike I even had the camera focused on my bike at managers suggestion. Taxi service and restaurant was first class, (next trip I'll take the other half ).

Value for money. Nice clean rooms
Overnight stay on business.
Value for money. Nice bar area. I chose from the bar menu rather than the restaurant and the good was nice. This place has a pool but I didn't try it. Ample parking on site. Nice and quiet in the room. Situated on the side of a dual carriageway but set back so no road noise. Nothing else nearby within walking distance.
I will stay again.

Easter stay
Great hotel and friendly staff.
The inside of the hotel was fab but the outside needs a little tlc. Don't let that put you off though, very comfortable room.

No character or atmosphere in that building
It was in fact horrible feeling to stay in this dungeon.
It stings in the hallway and the rooms are very poorly furnished, the bed wasn't the comfortable one either.

On arrival the hotel looked a little tired and in need of some attention, once inside the decor and furnishings gave a totally different look.
The reception was very well presented and staff helpful and attentive. Similarly the room was comfortable and the en-suite beautiful. Breakfast was taken by order with cereal, coffee and fruit juice available on a self help basis. Although a bit out of the way I have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends and will stay again.

Business Trip
Suitable for my purpose and the pool was a bonus in otherwise a typical business trip.
Food was good, I had something off the lounge menu. Corridors felt cold due to the long distance I had to go to my room, this is noty an issue as far as the overall view of the hotel. The external appearance could put some off as a stop off passing by?

Is it Obligatory for Women to Dye Their Hands with Henna? – Shaykh ibn Baz0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 19:25
Is it obligatory for a woman to dyer her hands with henna, because some people claim that a woman is imitating men if she does not henna her hands? Please benefit us.
Shaykh ʿAbd al-Azīz bin ʿAbdullah bin Bāz:
Without a doubt, dyeing her hands with henna is highly recommended. Some narrations are reported which are weak, however it is better for her to dye them with henna. In regards to its ruling, if its permissible or prohibited for her to leave her hands plain, I'm not aware of any basis this saying. Nonetheless, it is better and preferable for her to dye them with henna, so that they will not resemble the hands of a man.
This is what is better and is more preferable, since there are narrations which mention this, and it is from the sunnah that is well-known among women and it was a norm at the time of the Prophet ﷺ and after his death to dye the hands with henna, and it is highly recommended for women.

Praying for Allah to heal non-Muslims is permissible0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 17:12
Question: Is it permissible for those who utilize the Quran to treat the sick; to recite the Quran to treat non-Muslims?
Answer: It is permissible to treat non-Muslims with the Quran if they are not combatants at war with the Muslims; and if it is done in a manner in which the non-Muslim does not handle the Mushaf. This treatment is implemented by reciting the Quran over them, and praying to Allah to heal them and guide them.
And with Allah lies all success and may the salutations and peace of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and Muhammad's family and companions.

What is the soundness of the statement concerning the hellfire coming to an end? Shaykh Fawzaan0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 11:57
What is the soundness of the statement
concerning the hellfire coming to an end?
Q: What is the soundness of the statement which is attributed to Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (May Allah have mercy upon him) concerning the hellfire vanishing (i.e coming to an end)?
A: You are not in need of (busying yourself with) this issue, and you will not be asked about it on the day of judgement. It is not from the affairs of your religion, (rather) it is from those inquisitive issues. Leave it. It is attributed to Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (May Allah have mercy upon him) and Allah knows best, however it is not an issue from which there is a religious benefit.

CAREFULLY CHOOSING WORDS [IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES] WHEN ADDRESSING OTHERS – AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE FROM PROPHET IBRAAHEEM (ALAYHIS-SALAAM)0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 14:11
Allaah (The Most High) said:
When he said to his father: "O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything? "O my father! Verily! There has come to me of knowledge that which came not unto you. [19:42-43]
Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) said: Look at this speech that is attractive to the hearts. He [Ibraaheen (alayhis-salaam) did not say to his father, ''Indeed, you are a Jaahil (an ignorant person) lest his father is turned away due to rough speech, rather [Allaah said that Ibraaheem said]:
So follow me. I will guide you to a Straight Path. "O my father! Worship not Shaitan (Satan). Verily! Shaitan (Satan) has been a rebel against the Most Beneficent (Allah). "O my father! Verily! I fear lest a torment from the Most Beneficent (Allah) overtake you, so that you become a companion of Shaitan(Satan) (in the Hell-fire)." [19:43-45] [Ref 1]
A Benefit from Imaam Ash-Shanqeetee (rahimahullaah) regarding harshness and softness in their appropriate places; he said:
It is idiocy and an offence to (apply) harshness in a place where leniency is to be (applied), and it is weakness and spiritlessness to apply leniency in a place where harshness is to be applied. If it is said: Apply leniency, say: Leniency should be in its place, for the leniency of a young man in other than its place is ignorance." [Ref 2]
[Ref 1: Qisas Al-Anbiyaa' page 45' by Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah)]:

The Opinion Of The Majority Is Not Consensus: Shaykh Salih Al Fawzan0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 12:54
The Opinion Of The Majority Is Not
Consensus: Shaykh Salih Al Fawzan
Q: Is the opinion of the majority (of scholars) deemed ijmaa (consensus)?
A: No, the majorities' opinion is not considered as consensus, it is only deemed as the majorities' opinion and that's it. For this reason the four Imams (whenever they all agreed on a matter) it was not said about them they had consensus on the contrary it would be said that they agreed. The four imams had agreement in such and such an issue however it is not said a consensus (among all scholars). An agreement (among the four) is not a consensus (among all the scholars).

Speaking whilst doing wudhoo?0 comments Posted by أم حذيفة حياة لأندلسية at 10:48
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen was asked about speaking whilst doing wudoo': is it makrooh?
He (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: Speaking whilst doing wudoo' is not makrooh, but in fact it distracts the individual, because when the one who is doing wudoo' washes his face, he should bear in mind that he is obeying the command of Allah, and when he washes his arms, wipes his head and washes his feet, he should bear this intention in mind. But if someone speaks to him, and he speaks to that person, this focus is disrupted and he may also get confused about his wudoo', and he may be faced with waswaas as a result of that. So it is preferable for him not to speak until he has finished his wudoo'. But if he does speak, there is no blame on him for that.

Stick with your true brothers0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 12:24
Umar ibn al-Khattāb رضي الله عنه said:
"Stick with your true brothers. You can live in comfort with them, as they are a delight in times of ease, and you can lean on them in times of hardship. Assume the best about your brother until he comes with something that should alarm you from him. Avoid your enemy, and beware of befriending anyone but the trustworthy, and there is no trust for the one who doesn't fear Allāh. Do not befriend the corrupt, as he will teach you his corruption, and do not reveal your secrets to him, and only consult those who fear Allāh, the Exalted."

Carelessness of some Women concerning Travelling by Airplane without a Mahram0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 10:58
This justification is weak in reality, because the Mahram who accompanies her does not admit her onto the airplane, he only admits her to the departure lounge.
Even if all of these things did not happen, and the airplane landed at the correct time of arrival and the Mahram who was supposed to meet her was present, there might be some man sitting next to her on the airplane who does not fear Allah, the Most High and does not respect the worshippers of Allah, and he might be attracted to her and she to him, which might lead to Fitnah (temptation, trial) and unlawful deeds, as is well known.

Make Du'aa for Every Single Need
Shaikh 'Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, said, "You must, Yaa akhi, supplicate to Allaah for all of your general and specific concerns, both the difficult and easy ones, and if the only thing to be gained from making du'aa was the fact that it was considered worship of Allaah, it would befit a person to covet it."

The Ruling of Combining the Walīmah for Marriage with the Walīmah of the Aqīqah0 comments Posted by أم حذيفة حياة لأندلسية at 20:54
*Question:* Some of the people do the Walīmah for marriage along with the Walīmah for the Aqīqah. Is this action correct or should each be done separately?
*Answer:* There is no harm in that. If one combines the two Walīmahs then there is no harm.

Abu Hanifah And Al-Irjaa: Shaykh Rabee Ibn Hadee0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 14:42
Q: Is it correct that which is attributed to Abu Hanifah that he was Murji'ee?
This article has been taken from maktabasalafiya. blogspot. com/2016/07/abu-hanifah-and-al-irjaa-shaykh-rabee.html
A: This is correct and no one denies this. Abu Hanifah fell into irjaa and no one denies it, neither Hanifi nor Sunni, no one denies this. Ahlus Sunnah sternly censured him due to this and for other reasons. Therefore it is not allowed for a Hanifi or anyone else to follow the mistakes any individual no matter who it may be. Not Abu Hanifah, not Malik, and not Shaafi'ee, however I do not know of errors in creed with theses individuals except Abu Hanifah, as he fell into saying the statement, "the Quran is created" but eventually repented from that as is firmly established (and or affirmed) by the scholars. However his (mistake with regards to) irjaa, him repenting from such was never affirmed, nor has anyone claimed such. No one from the Hanifis or other than them to the best of my knowledge.

The Categories of Women who Approach their Husbands for Intimacy0 comments Posted by أم حذيفة حياة لأندلسية at 17:31
Women, in most cases--if not all, except a few--approach their husbands as it relates to the affair of the bed (intimacy) and the reason, in my view, places them in one of three categories:
1. The First Group: She approaches her husband in the bed out of obedience to Allāh as an act of worship; seeking a reward from Him, Majestic be He, for pleasing her husband by fulfillment of his sexual desire, (helping him to) lower his gaze, and hoping for a righteous child.
2. The Second Category: She approaches her husband in the bed hoping for pleasure, and nothing else.
3. The Third Category: She approaches her husband in bed in order to prevent him from looking at other women purely out of jealousy.
No doubt the first has brought together (the benefit) and comprehended the affair.

From the Worst of Mankind1 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 17:42
Translator: Abu 'Abdis Salaam Al Juyaanee
Source: "Sharhul Kitaabit Tawheed" pages 107-109
و رواه أبو حاتم في صحيحه
Narrado por Ahmad (رحمه الله) con una cadena (*de narración) buena, bajo la autoridad de Ibn Mas'ud (radi Allahu 'anhu) remontándose hasta el Profeta صلى الله عليه وسلم,
Verdaderamente, de los peores de la humanidad son aquellos sobre quienes será establecida la Hora y estén vivos, y aquellos quienes han tomado las tumbas como lugares de adoración (masaajid).
También narrado por Abu Haatim (رحمه الله) en su Sahih.
This Hadeeth is reported on the authority of Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) reachingback to the Prophet ﷺ,
Verily from the worst of mankind are those whom the Hour will be established upon and they are alive, and those whom have taken the graves as places of worship (masaajid).
This is because the Hour will only be established upon the worst of creation. As far as the believers their souls will be taken by a pleasant wind prior to this (i.e. the establishment of the Hour).
Those who take the graves as places of worship are from the worst of mankind because they are a means and cause for the people falling into shirk (polytheism), innovation, and erroneous acts. This is because once the people view such a thing as correct they will naturally conclude and say, "Since they have built (a place of worship over this grave, the occupant of it) must then be supplicated to and called on in times of peril.
However, there is no problem if the grave is in close proximity to the cemetery. This is because the walkway in that case will separate between the two, and this is superior (to masaajid being on top of graves).
This is correct just as we have previously mentioned (when speaking about) extremism, that results in the one whom they are extreme about being taken as an object of worship instead of or along with Allah. Due to this the people exaggerated the status of some of the righteous. They thus, took them as objects of worship instead of or along with Allah. Examples of this are like the graves of Al Hassan (radiAllahu 'anhu), Al Hussain (radi Allahu 'anhu), Faatimah (radi Allahu 'anha) and other than them. This nation has likewise exaggerated the status of the Messenger ﷺ and consequently fallen into (shirk by) worshipping him (by supplicating to him and the like) and seeking his aid in times of peril instead of or along with Allah; this (also happened) in the times of antiquity when the people of Nuh ﷺ exaggerated the status of the righteous until they eventually worshipped them (which is polytheism) as we have already mentioned.

It has spread amongst the students of knowledge, i.e. the taking (of hair) from ones beard, so some advice is desired.
Ash-Shaykh Al-`Allaamah Salih Al-Fawzaan:
They are not students of knowledge nor scholars, the ones that take (hair) from the beard are not students of knowledge, the students of knowledge are the ones that act upon the Sunnah, and the Sunnah is to leave the beard, the one that takes from his beard is not from the students of knowledge!

Mentioning Allah While Using The Bathroom: Shaykh Salih Alish-Shaykh0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 12:55
This is hated, so it's befitting for the Muslims to avoid it. Ibn Umar stated that a man passed by Allah's Messenger -sallahu alayhi wa salaam- while he was urinating and conveyed the salaams, however the Messenger -sallahu alayhi wa salaam- did not respond. That was because returning the salaams is dhikr.

Question: Is it permissible for a woman who has been beaten by her husband to the point that she has been hospitalized to seek a Khul'ah?
Answer: Yes it is permissible for her to do so because this situation constitutes bad and harmful living conditions. She would give back the dowry and be released from the marriage by way of the Khul'ah. Rather, if she was in a place where there's an Islamic Judge, the judge would dissolve the marriage due to this abuse...

A Few Characteristics of the Haddādiyyah Sect0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 21:15
Author: Abu Dihyah Dawud Adib
It is important that we understand the following point very well: the Haddādiyyah Sect is extremely dangerous! We should always ask Allāh not to make us like them, to not cause us to emulate them while wearing the garments of Salafiyyah. For indeed, whoever imitates a people is from them!
Two of their characteristics are:
Fanatacism towards personalities, which is a common characteristic among the People of Blind Bigotry and Partisanship.
The Haddadi sect provides moral, intellectual, theological and logistic support to Dā'ish.
🔈 Abū Bakr bin Abī Dāwūd said in his Hā'iyyah:
Shaykh Sālih al-Fawzān explains this line of poetry saying:
Thus, this is the methodology of the Khawārij, from which sprung other repugnant branches [of methodologies and principles]. Therefore, do not hold these beliefs nor incline towards them, instead consider them false opinions [principles and concepts]. Keeping in mind that this is referring to those who only hold these opinions [principles and concepts] yet they have not carried out these actions. So how much more those who also hold these corrupted beliefs and concepts and carry them out?
Shaykh Rabī described the Haddaadis, saying:
The Haddadis have an evil principle with them which is [the following]: Whenever they have attached to a [Salafi] individual that which he is in reality innocent of and [that Salafi has already] announced openly that he is indeed innocent of it - (i.e. what he is being falsely accused of) - they [the Haddādis] continue to hurl those accusations against that oppressed [Salafi] individual with that which they [the Haddadis] have [falsely] assigned to him.
Consequently, [by utilizing this technique] of their repugnant principle [they have concocted] they have exceeded the [methodology] of the Khawarij
In conclusion, we should check ourselves to see if any of these filthy principles have crept into our minds, hearts, or behaviors.
Oh Allāh! Do not make us like the people we warn against!

Islamic Position With Regards To The Shiite: Shaykh Rabee Ibn Hadee0 comments Posted by أم عبد الرحمان الأندلسية at 13:24
Q: What is the Islamic position with regards to the Shiite coming out of Iran, especially as it relates to the abundance of them present at the Sanctuary (in Mecca) and the elders from them? How do we interact with them?
A: Interaction with them falls between two (varying) circumstances. You either have the ability to affect them and to (properly) call them to Allah (worship of Him based on revelation) just as you would call the Jews and Christians to the truth making it clear to them. If this is the case, call them to Allah and if you do not possess the ability to do so (which is the second circumstance) then distance yourself from them. Allah only burdens an individual with that which he can bear.
And this is a calamity that has befallen to which there is no escape. It has befallen and is a trial for us, as we are unable to prevent them from entering the Two Sanctuaries. As a result we are tested by way of them just as the companions were tested by way of the hypocrites. So this is the reality. Consequently the strong students of knowledge and the scholars must take on the responsibility of inviting them to Allah, presenting (to them) the proofs, and referring them to the truth. Either they will accept and if not then the proof is established against them.
As for the small student of knowledge he distances himself and abandons them. He should not be like some who say "the Shiite are our brothers, the difference between us and them is like the difference between Malik and Shaafi'ee." Those who say this are deceivers who misled the Muslims. A multitude of adherents to the Sunnah have plunged into the arms of the Shiite due to this watering down (and distortion) of the affair. Multitudes in Africa, (specifically) in Sudan and Egypt. Have you not heard about what transpired in Egypt during the medieval era? The batini Shiite ruled Egypt and circulated throughout the land shiism along with the batini ideology, then Allah granted Sallahuddin Al Ayyubi victory in conquering them. Subsequently their government fell and the Sunnah's influence returned to Egypt. There remained some who upheld the batini ideology under the cloak of Sufism and this is the reason why they can't outwardly display neither shiism nor the batini ideology.
Unfortunately in this era the craving of the Shiite has intensified with respect to returning shiism and batinism to that country and they have begun to spread their poison. Did you all hear the answer (to the initial question)? The Questioner asked about the Shiite and ones conduct with them. We replied with it being binding upon the strong students of knowledge and the scholars to invite them to Allah, and to make clear the truth. Perhaps Allah will guide whomever He wills from those among them. As for small students of knowledge they are to avoid, shun, and show no regard towards them. And we say the opposite of what some deceivers say from those involved in politics "the Shiite are our brothers, the difference between us and them is like the difference between Malik and Shaafi'ee."
This is inventing a lie on Allah and misleading the Muslims, subsequently causing many from those who attribute themselves to the Sunnah to be flung into the arms of the Shiite.

Understanding Rhetoric and Evaluating Bias in Text
Students can learn about bias in text and the rhetorical principles proposed by Aristotle.
By Emily Cherry
As a high school English teacher, I think it is very important that my students be able to critically evaluate the reliability of text and identify bias in print. Every year, I implement a non-fiction unit in which students are introduced to a variety of texts and I ask them to examine the author's credibility. For most of my students, this is a new and rather uncomfortable process.
Aristotle's Rhetoric and Method of Persuasion
In order to get the most out of the unit, I choose a topic that will get my students interested and excited. In the past, I have chosen topics like: fast food, racial profiling, and juvenile justice. These are topics that most of my students have strong opinions about, and I am easily able to find a variety of articles representing a multitude of viewpoints. Before I pass out the articles, I want them to be able to identify author's bias. In order to help my students do this, I introduce the idea of Aristotle's art of rhetoric and method of persuasion; Ethos, Logos, and Pathos.
Ethos and the Character of the Speaker
I usually begin by explaining that an effective argument, according to Aristotle's rhetorical design, needs to contain three components: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. The first, Ethos, is based on the character of the speaker. This is essentially the reputation of the author. When my students begin to analyze articles, I ask them to do research on the author's background and check for credibility. This means doing a "background check" so to speak. I want them to discern whether or not the author has the appropriate credentials to speak with authority about the subject.
Logos and the Facts
The second means of persuasion (according to Aristotle) is Logos, which is based solely on logic or reason. When we are analyzing the article, I also ask students to look for facts and statistics that prove the argument. These are the arguments that are hard to refute. For example, let's say the topic that we are studying is whether or not fast food contributes to obesity. If an article on fast food references caloric counts of the servings at specific fast food restaurants, this is an example of Logos. The author has provided an irrefutable fact.
Pathos and Emotion
The final example of rhetoric that we analyze is Pathos, which is emotion. These are the arguments that appeal to our sense of right or wrong. When I go over Pathos, I often cite specific examples of advertisements. Advertisers love to play on Pathos - they evoke anger, fear, and/or desire to get us to want to buy their products. Often I will encourage students to bring in examples from magazines to demonstrate examples of Pathos that they find.
Extension Activities
Once I feel that my students have a grasp of rhetoric, I give them reading assignments in which they are asked to analyze different articles. With their knowledge of rhetoric, students have a better understanding of writer bias and the reliability of the media. A fun extension to this project is to have them write a persuasive essay demonstrating their new-found knowledge of rhetoric. Below are some excellent lessons that deal with rhetoric.
Rhetoric Lesson Plans:
Political Commercials: Leading or Misleading Voters
Students analyze political commercials for their persuasive qualities. They then try to decide whether or not the candidates were being honest or dishonest in their approach.
Students play a game similar to Clue in order to analyze logical deductions.
Students create a persuasive presentation that represents the different components of persuasion.
Students examine critical census data and how it is determined. Students then take the information and write a persuasive essay.

A lovely hue of blue, not too tight on the ankle and the ideal shape to wear with a tucked-in, loose-fit silk shirt and flats, this is exactly the sort of style we'd wear time and again, dressed up or dressed down.

California least terns cared for the most
Audubon Society nest site research and maintenance at Fiesta Island
Dave Good 11:15 a.m., Sept. 25
Democratic state senator Juan Vargas, running against ex–state senator Denise Ducheny to replace Bob Filner in Congress, has continued to collect big money in its 2010 state campaign account, Juan Vargas for Senate 2010, a recent filing with the California Secretary of State's office shows.
During the year ending December 2011, the former state assemblyman and insurance-company lawyer raised a total of $165,955.84, $34,050 of it in the last six months of the year.
The fund spent $533,979.68, leaving it with a year-end cash balance of $9,707.99.
The list of donors who made contributions to the Vargas committee during the second half of the year is a roster of labor unions and corporations with an interest in California legislative business, including the California Professional Firefighters ($2000); labor's Committee on Political Education ($2500); eBay, Inc.($2000); the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians ($7800); United Airlines, Inc. ($1000); KPMG, LLP ($1000); Ernst & Young, LLP PAC ($1000); and Anthem Blue Cross ($1900).
But the Vargas committee was still left with outstanding debts of $375,784.66.
Much of the money was owed to consultants, according to the report.
The top creditor is listed as Shallman Communications of Encino, owed $125,000.
(According to a June 2010 acount in the Los Angles Wave, the company sued L.A. city councilman Bernard Parks for nearly $150,000 that Parks allegedly owed the consultant.)
Other creditors of the Vargas campaign, the statement says, included George M. Bresnahan, who received $25,000 but was still owed $100,000; Vargas staff chief Jim Anderson, who was owed $56,000; and Eduardo H. Garcia, Jr. of Coachella, who was owed $25,000.
Besides being district liaison for Vargas, Garcia is also the mayor of Coachella.

OFD reminds residents of city burn policies
Fri, 14 Mar 2014 23:44:13 GMT —
Ottumwa residents are reminded of the city's zero tolerance policy for anyone caught burning garbage.
The fire department will respond if they receive a burning complaint.
If the fire is determined to be illegal, the Ottumwa Fire Department will extinguish the fire and a fine will be issued.
Upon first citation the property owner will be fined $335. A second citation brings about a $585 fine and a third offense will have you paying $835.
â??Now that it's getting a little bit warmer out it does seem to be an issue that we have every year where people decide to get out there in the fresh air and try burning things, what we try to get them to remember is that is we can only burn in the city of Ottumwa is you can only burn natural vegetation,â?? said Cory Dillon of the Ottumwa Fire Department.
It's only legal to burn yard waste like tree limbs, leaves and grass within city limits.
Yard waste can also be disposed of at no charge at the Ottumwa/Wapello landfill.
The recycling center accepts grass clippings and leaves only. Curbside yard waste collection will resume again in April.

Present methods of Township garbage and refuse collection and disposal, have met with general public satisfaction. It renders reasonably complete and clean service, under municipal supervision. In license fees it returns approximately $500 per year to the Township treasury; this year, there are twenty licensed collectors, each paying a fee of $25.00).
In order to meet requirements, each licensee must use covered trucks, and serve all customers in a uniform manner, that is, carry garbage, ashes and other refuse from the building interior, carefully deposit such material in the truck, return each receptacle to its original position, and finally convey the truck contents to the dumps. No receptacles are allowed to stand on Township property, between the curb line and sidewalk.
In general, the monthly rates for the above described service are based upon a charge of $1.00 for buildings with oil heating systems, and $1.50 in the case of coal heating.
At the end of 1936, after public bids were taken, a contract was awarded for the care of the Township dumps. This contract, covered by a bond, returns $400 to the municipality. This amount, plus the total license fees paid by garbage and refuse collectors, returns $900 to the Township without sacrificing any element of service.

Three for All is a collaborative trio which looks to create music that balances intricate pre-composed material with the "instant composition" that we know as improvisation. The group's configuration is singular in that there is no chordal instrument (piano, guitar, etc.) and no pitched bass instrument to outline a traditional harmonic foundation.

Just as odd as his hiring, Tom Tintor's coaching style will not be found in any manual.
The North Port High girls basketball coach has a two-platoon system featuring his 10 best players. He does not partake in offseason conditioning. His practices are fun. His team has not run a lap and he did not schedule to play in a Christmas tournament.
"It is unconventional," he says. "The boys coaches just come in and shake their head."
Yet, Tintor's Bobcats are the only area girls basketball team still in the postseason playoffs.
North Port will play in the Class 8A-Region 2 final Saturday at 7 p.m.against District 5 runner-up Orlando University at the Bobcats Cage, the third straight regional home contest.
"You have to coach by personality sometimes," said Tintor, whose club finished second in Class 8A in grade-point average one year ago and should be at or near the top again this year. "You have to see what the kids like. There are some kids I have to give a little freedom. If I put pressure or put the squeeze on them, they just totally go into a shell or reject it. But they've been pretty good."
Pretty good does not describe the Bobcats. They already have set a school record for wins. Their two region victories – 68-30 over Lithia Newsome and 71-34 over Tarpon Springs East Lake – are the first two in the history of the program.
And they do it with contributions from everybody.
"We've got 10 kids who can play, so they might as well as play," Tintor said.
He wanted a strong point guard on each and divided his two post players.
"The rest are interchangeable," Tintor said.
The first squad consists of senior point guard Ashley Mashaw, junior post Darmesha Washington and sophomores Le'Kyra Smith, Rohanda Burke and Jel Dosen.
Coming off the bench are junior point guard Shayla Fortuno, sophomore post Camille Frederick and senior Keosha Harris and juniors Ashley Jones and Lily Dosen.
"These girls have bought into it," Tintor said. "They're all pretty equal."
At a practice earlier this week, the second team beat the first team, 19-2.
"A couple of kids on the second group might be better than the kids starting, but I would like to have some spark when they come in there," Tintor said. "The first team is a little quicker."
The first team plays man-to-man defense. The second team plays a couple of different zones, but can also play man.
"It just seems to work," Tintor said. "They've really jelled. I never hear a peep from a parent or kid about playing time. Or why am I not on the first team. None of that. I've been doing this for quite a while. That's rare. They've all accepted their place. They know that works, and it works real well. Everybody gets to play. Nobody sits the bench. Nobody's coming in for the last two minutes of the game. Everybody is playing around 16 minutes."
Tintor tried the same strategy a few years ago with different reaction.
"We won our first 11 games," he said. "Then, the girls started squawking about playing time, so we stopped. And then we were three or four games under .500."
Led by Washington's 9 points and 8 rebounds, nine players are averaging 4 or more points. There are nine players with 24 or more steals.
"Statistically, we don't have any kids lighting the world up, but they are only playing half the game or a little more than half the game," said Tintor, assisted this year by Dale Huffman and Bruce Reichenbach.
And they are fresher. Without much conditioning, getting a Christmas break, Tintor notices more spring in his players' legs, which is conducive to his all-out style of play.
"It seems to be working," he said. "I just can't slow the kids down. We can't have that kind of offense. We can't walk the ball up the court and run picks. We just are playing with what we have.
"We want to have 32 minutes of mayhem. We want to be nasty, nasty defense and just try to disrupt everything the other team does. We're not going to look pretty doing it. We just want the pace to be ours."
Practices are similar. Tintor never stresses winning, just playing hard.
"Just like the game," he said. "Our practices are the same thing every day. It's a routine. They can run that practice themselves and basically they do. We play music for 20 minutes, do fast break stuff, our full court stuff. We get all our conditioning done in 9 minutes. They really enjoy that. It's really a fun practice. We've never run a lap. We've never run a line. We don't do that kind of stuff. There is a lot of laughter and a lot of smiling. There is not a lot of yelling and screaming. But they get after it."
It was a five-and-a-half minute stretch of mayhem caused by Jones against Riverview in the opening round of the district that spearheaded the Bobcats' rise. North Port trailed by six heading into the final quarter before pulling out a 44-43 victory. Jones grabbed six rebounds in her first two minutes of the fourth quarter, along with forcing a couple of jump balls and turnovers.
"We were out of that game for 31 ½ minutes, and she came in and spurred us," Tintor said.
That led to a district title and the first two regional victories, including one on Valentine's Day.
"It's the one day of the year where you're supposed to spend a lot of time with the person you love. And that's where we are," Tintor said in his pregame speech Tuesday. "They just laughed and got pumped.
"I never had a team like this. There are no cliques. There is no jealousy. There is no animosity."
In search of the first Final 4 appearance in school history, Tintor received help from the boys side. Varsity assistant Tom McLaughlin made the trip to Orlando to scout University against Orlando Colonial.
"I saw some of his boys reports and they are pretty detailed," Tintor said. "We should get some pretty good information."
Do not expect the Bobcats to change their style based on what McLaughlin reports.
"You're not going to change what you've done overnight," Tintor said. "I'm more concerned what we are doing than what the other team is doing."
Tintor was minding his own business in 2004, when he walked past the office of then director of athletics Jim Clark, who was telling his secretary the new girls basketball coach he was about to hire decided to decline the offer.
A basketball coach since 1971 on the elementary school, junior high school, summer teams, AAU teams, high school, junior varsity, community college level, Tintor overheard the conversation, stuck his head in Clark's office and said, "I'll coach," despite the fact he never has coached a girls or women's team in the past.
"And that was that," Tintor said. "I wasn't even thinking about coaching."
Now, he is thinking about the Final 4 and the first team regional title in school history.
"Everything we've done since districts is icing on the cake," Tintor said. "Getting this one would be unreal."

Sonic Heroes
Review by CosmicFalcon
"A definite Sonic boom!"
Well... I've waited a long time for this game. It has been one of the more hyped up of the recent Sonic games, mostly because of its new three character game play and its release on all three major consoles. I picked up this game on the EU release date, and I must say I am overall thoroughly pleased.
I was somewhat disappointed with the previous Sonic Adventure games. These were Sonic's first real jump into the world of 3D gaming. For this Sonic Team decided to add new styles of game play to go alongside the regular speediness of the Sonic genre. Mostly these other formats - such as treasure hunting and the dreaded fishing - were met with anger from the many veteran Sonic fans. Sonic Heroes does away with these slower styles of playing and Sonic Team promised us that it would be a return to Sonic's roots. I was brought up with the Mega Drive (Genesis) Sonic the Hedgehog games so needless to say I was pleased at this prospect. The next thing I heard about the game was that it would sport a new style of game play where, instead of playing as one character as in the previous instalments, gamers would control a team of three heroes. This news was met with mixed responses, as some saw it as a new gimmick to make sales. Personally I liked the idea, and no matter how much the original Sonic idea was loved, it simply isn't enough to keep churning out games that are fundamentally the same, as Sega seem to be doing with the Sonic Advance series.
But enough of the history lesson, on with the review...
This was the big thing for Heroes, the new game play system. I couldn't wait to try it out. As it turns out, the team game play works pretty well. It is simple enough to change your team leader, and doing so hardly disrupts game play. The transition is smooth; you'll find yourself speeding down a path as Sonic, seeing enemies up ahead, seamlessly switch to Knuckles - where you'll slow down rather than jerkily stop - to take out the robots. It is a shame that they placed monitors everywhere to tell you what character to use, though, rather than letting the player use their brains. Sonic Team were true to their word, the speed and roller coaster feeling is definitely back, as well as the slight hint of puzzles and obstacles that the 2D games challenged us with.
However, it isn't all praise on the game play front. The poor camera that haunted the Adventure games is back. I found it slightly more noticeable in Heroes, but not horrible. Many people repeatedly talk about how the camera causes needless deaths, but this rarely seems to happen for me in any of Sonic's 3D outings. It is generally best not to use the camera controls, as they will cause you more problems rather than solve any. Moreover, on some levels there are areas where the camera physically prevents you from surviving. You'll bounce of a couple of springs; head back toward the camera and have to hold forward to land on the rails. The only problem is, forward is the wrong way, and making any moves while the camera is facing the wrong way will cause death. This is more the level's fault then the overall camera work, and any magnificent manoeuvre tends to cause a zoom-out, which throws off your controls.
Another flaw in game play is just that - the magnificent manoeuvres. When you hit a loop, all you have to do is merely hold forward and you'll pull it off. Anything else sends you to your doom. Rarely there are portions where you'll seem to have no control, as if you're just telling Sonic to ''keep running'' and he's doing the rest.
The enemies in this game have a small variety; many are the same with minor differences. The majority of robots are easy to destroy, and there's a big leap between those and the ones that are significantly harder to beat. Switching to your Power character and mashing B can generally beat most, however. While it is a distraction from holding forward and jumping, it proves little challenge. The bosses are much the same, in that you can beat them mostly by repeatedly tapping A with your Speed character. There are exceptions to this of course.
It's harder to point out the good things in game play because it is simply good overall. The fun factor of this game is intense, and I can see myself playing it again and again, even once I've beaten it all. As you progress you unlock 2-Player modes to keep you occupied - providing you have opponents to play. It takes a while before new 1-Player features are unlocked, but once they are they're sure to keep you occupied if you are intent on beating them.
A very good 9/10
I have to say that this is definitely one of the games strong points. The CG scenes, while few and far between, are deliciously beautiful. Sonic Team have evidently put a lot of time into these scenes and it has paid off. While the characters seem somewhat shinier than before, and their mouths have moved to the sides of their faces, which seems odd sometimes, everyone is looking better with the aid of the GameCube's awesome graphical capacity. What they've done here could have been done with the ports of the two Sonic Adventure games, had they put more time into them.
In the levels the quality of graphics doesn't fail them. The surroundings are bright and detailed - the background of Rail Canyon Zone is a spectacular view. The characters are looking good, although when Sonic falls to the ground, the way his quills spread out looks somewhat odd. Also, when attacking with the Homing Attack, characters seem to flip around more, and Sonic's spikes tend to fly around a lot. Not really a problem, I just found this quite odd. The enemies are simple in design to begin with, but when you get further into the game you will see some nice designs such as the 'Hammer Bots'. Sometimes, however, the graphics don't do so well under close scrutiny. But you won't really have time for that when speeding through the levels at Sonic speed!
Despite the graphical intensity of the game the single player mode never falls below 60 fps - which is very impressive, and necessary for a game so heavily based upon speed. In multiplayer mode the frame rate falters slightly, down as much as to 30 fps, but it still doesn't cause too much hassle in my opinion.
I give this 10/10, no major problems, and hardly any minor ones.
Sonic Heroes truly has a wonderful sound track, and I put the sound test to good use. Each level has music perfectly suited for it, whether it is a casino city or a fleet of ships high in the air. The team themes - replacing the character themes of previous games - can have cheesy lyrics, but they don't let the overall feeling down. My personal favourites are the themes of Team Dark and Team Chaotix. The themes fit the characters just as well as the level music. Boss battles are accompanied by tunes of the same standard, and there are no obvious places where the music falters.
The sound effects get full marks for nostalgia. Veterans of the Sonic series will recognise various sounds from hitting pinball bumpers to bouncing off forest mushrooms. Any new sound effects fit in well. I find it hard to comment about sound effects for this game because of the way the blend so nicely into the level and game play, they're almost part of the music and level you're playing. Whether old or new, the sound effects certainly give the game a Sonic feeling.
Now for the voices. Many reviews have given low marks here, saying that you'll want to play the game on mute. I find that I disagree. While the voices of Tails, Big and Amy can get annoying (especially when they must talk every time you switch to them in the levels, and then some) they are more than bearable. All the voices fit the characters. Big would definitely talk with that slow and dull tone, Amy is more than annoying, and Tails - let's face it - is just a kid, even if he is a genius and a hero. Espio has a great voice, I think, which fits his character perfectly.
I will say 7/10 for this, because while the voices do fit, Amy's ''I'll take the lead!'' can get very annoying very quickly.
Some may say ''What story?'' and I don't blame them. Unlike the Adventure games, Sonic Team have very much taken the emphasis off of having a deep storyline. However, it is merely simple, not non-existent. The starts of the stories are almost too simple. Team Chaotix' story offers the most mystery right off the bat, as does Team Dark's if you've played previous games.
Heroes brings the return of three of the Chaotix - Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, and Vector the Crocodile. It is nice to see these characters back, as I liked them when they first appeared in Knuckles Chaotix. It is best to note that Chaotix was not a Sonic Team game. This explains why the trio have had their characters completely revamped, and revamped well.
The story begins to pick up towards the end of the game - with the exception of Team Rose. However, it is still simple because it allowed Sonic Team to add the variety of level designs that where present in Mega Drive games. Having the choice of a deep story or lively, varying levels, I would choose the latter. You have to keep in mind that story has never been a driving factor for Sonic. If you want a good story, watch a movie, or play an RPG.
Here's an 8/10 for they could have had a little more on it.
Sonic Heroes is filled with long levels that can take you anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes to complete, or even more, on your first try. And that isn't even counting any times that you die. Some have been known to take a full half hour to complete some of the later levels. Because of this the initial game life for Heroes is impressive.
As you go along you will unlock 2-Player modes, of which there are many. If you have friends or family who will enjoy a good Sonic VS match then you have an almost immortal game right here. Otherwise, these unlockable will mean little to you. There are two unlockable features for 1-Player, the second of which is a challenge to unlock and even more to beat. If you really enjoy Sonic and want a good hard challenge then this will be for you, otherwise once beaten the game doesn't give you anything new.
On the other hand, Heroes hardly needs anything new. I find myself constantly going back to play some of my favourite levels, and probably will continue to if and when I complete the game 100%. This replayability will probably appeal more to the Sonic fans, whether they're new to the franchise or not.
This gets an 8/10, only for small or nonexistent unlockables and rewards.
Total Score: 42/50
Final Score: 8.4/10
Recommended - a great game, but better for fans.
Rent Or Buy?
This is a definite buy for any and all Sonic fans, whether you've played one Sonic game before or all of them. Otherwise, I still say buy, unless you have a slight or great disliking for the blue blur, in which case rent it first.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

We think it's a perfect fit and we can't wait to show the great fans in Utah what the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship is all about."This will be the first time in 40 years that a National motocross has been held in the state of Utah."Utah is excited to welcome the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship and the opportunity it brings to showcase Utah to a nationally televised audience and to generate significant economic impact to our great state," said Gary R.

The factory Proton effort will double in number for the first time this season when Bryan Bouffier joins Guy Wilks in the Malaysian manufacturer's team.
Bouffier, who gave the Proton Satria Neo Super 2000 its competition debut last season, will contest Barum Czech Rally Zlin with the fledgling squad. The agreement is currently for the eighth round of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge only.
"It was always the plan to run a second car and Bryan is a great driver to have on board because of his experience," said Chris Mellors, whose MEM operation is responsible for Proton's IRC campaign.
Proton's best result since joining the IRC on June's Belgium Ypres Rally is the fourth place Wilks recorded on Rally Russia last month.
"We've got ideas of how we can go even faster," Wilks added. "It is still a new car and the most important thing for us is to get to the finish of each event so we can build the experience."

The new AAP study (PDF) shouldn't really shock anyone. Just as they did back in 1999, the group is recommending that kids under 2 stay away from TV entirely. But this study offers up more support in terms of evidence that kids at that young an age really have no idea what's going on in the shows that they're watching. They don't get the context, they don't get the storylines or the characters -- it's all just weird light on a screen to them, according the AAP.
Dr. Ari Brown is the author of the new study and a pediatrician in Austin. "When TV started," she says, "there were not very many shows directed toward infants. Now we have infant- and toddler-based programs marketed explicitly or implicitly for educational use. What we've learned is kids don't get it. There's a digital developmental divide. Under 2, they will not understand content or context. Kids over age 2 do get it. There's improvement in language or social skills."
Brown says that beyond not being very beneficial, there are indications that TV for kids under 2 is actually harmful. It disrupts sleep patterns, it hurts concentration skills.
Of course, kids today often don't have "TV time" as much as they have "screen time" and those screens could mean a TV set, a computer, an iPad, a smartphone, a video game or something else. And many of those screens are a lot more interactive than the regular old TV.
As for the potential benefits or harms of an interactive screen, Brown says the AAP doesn't have a position on them yet because it's much too early to have conducted proper research. "It may be that with an interactive program, the child is doing the same thing as with a toy they can manipulate. It may be interactivity that will allow them to learn cause and effect, sequencing, ordering. There may be some real value to that, but we don't know yet."
Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Children's Hospital Boston, says when it comes to kids and gadgets, proceed but proceed with caution: "We know blocks, we know books, we understand not just what is going on in the moment but also the long-term implications of these things. We don't know what the long-term implications of an iPad are simply because they haven't been around long enough. So I don't think we should block out the unknown, but look at it in terms of short-term responses and say you know what, it seems to me my child is reading the same or better on an iPad than he or she did on a book, so I'm going to do that. But also say, there's nothing quite like getting a bunch of Legos and putting them together, which an iPad can never do. When reading time is over, turn it off and turn loose on the Legos."
Also on today's program, the future will look more like "Back to the Future," using a car that we think of as being from the past but using a technology of the future.
Let me try that last paragraph again: they're building an electric DeLorean.
