The Bears define big plays on defense as an interception, forced fumble, fumble recovery or touchdown and have a points system to chart it.
The first year the board was up, Charles Tillman led the team with 11 points. The second year, Tillman led with 10. Last year, he had a team-high 13. This season, Tillman has a record 21, with a chance to add to it Sunday.
Tillman has led the team in big plays every year for nine seasons, according to coach Lovie Smith.

"He's off the charts," Marinelli said. "I've said that now for three years really. There's nobody in the history of the league who can pull the ball out like he does. Nobody."
Front office chess: So long, Dane
For 16 weeks, Dane Sanzenbacher managed to be in a position other than the 53rd man on the Bears' roster. On the 17th week, he was 53rd.
As a result, the Bears had to waive him Tuesday to make room for safety Troy Nolan. The Bengals then claimed him.
The Bears had five healthy wide receivers ahead of Sanzenbacher on the offensive depth chart. And they were carrying a sixth, Joe Anderson, who was ahead of Sanzenbacher as a special teams player.
Sanzenbacher was active in five games and played 65 snaps, but he caught only one pass. There were times when the Bears really needed a wide receiver to step up. Sanzenbacher, whether it was his fault or not, never did.
Sanzenbacher fit Mike Martz's offense a lot better than he fit Mike Tice's. To thrive, Sanzenbacher needs a short, quick passing game. He needs an accurate passer who makes quick decisions.
He didn't have what he needed in Chicago, and the Bears didn't lose much in waiving him.
Sanzenbacher never is going to be Wes Welker as he is not nearly as quick or explosive.
But he can be more than he was as a Bear — if he finds the right offense.

In case anyone's wondering why I didn't respond after the first couple messages, it's because my own actual flesh-and-blood daughter wasn't feeling well and needed some extra attention. (She had this, in case you're wondering.) Real baby trumps fictional baby every time. Sorry.
I guess I'm still surprised so many people thought it was going to be Batman. I mean, from this scene way back in the first post Year One issue, I thought I was making it obvious it wasn't Bruce Wayne. Speaking as a father -- and as a guy who knows a lot of fathers -- this is not how a father would act, buying off the mom with a teddy bear and a college scholarship. If Bruce had been the dad and tried to appease Selina with this stunt, she would've clawed his eyes out, protective lenses in the Bat mask or not. This is Batman giving a friend support, not Batman trying to weasel out of child support.
Plus, Batman is the most overly prepared guy in the DCU. Do you really think someone who went to all the trouble of formulating insanely complex plans to take down his JLA buddies on the million-to-one chance he'd need them wouldn't take much simpler precautions in other (i.e. romantic) situations? Are we talking about the same guy?
If the Sam Revelation (as historians will now call it) made you drop the book, sorry to see you go. But if you're willing to stick around, I promise plenty of thrills and chills in the upcoming months (c'mon -- aren't there any movie fans out there with an opinion on Film Freak?) and a few twists and turns in just how Sam and Selina made that baby. Well, of course, we all know how they made the baby, but the scene of them getting romantic in CATWOMAN 59 didn't necessary lead to lil' Helena. There's more in store for those two, and the stakes get much, much higher. And, as some of the posters said in the comments thread, life -- especially when it involves S-E-X -- can get very complicated. Things don't always go as planned.
As always, feel free to share you comments here. I'm not asking you to agree, but I am requesting you keep any references to cups of urine to an absolute minimum.

Jennings missed Thursday's game against Chicago with a groin injury and a rehab workout on Tuesday didn't go as well as he or the team had hoped. Still, the Packers are hopeful that the Pro Bowl receiver will be ready to go for Monday night at Seattle.
"It wasn't what we expected Tuesday when we went down to the practice (facility)," coach Mike McCarthy said after Thursday's practice. "We were going to warm him, rehab him before practice and hopefully have him do some work on the practice field (but) we didn't get to that. Maybe we were a little too optimistic and he's not quite where we hoped he'd be by now. He wants to go, but we're just being smart."
The offense, which wasn't productive with Jennings against San Francisco in Week 1, wasn't productive without him against Chicago in Week 2. Of Aaron Rodgers' 22 completions, six went to Jordy Nelson and James Jones, Randall Cobb and Donald Driver had one catch apiece. While defenses logically would shift their coverage toward Nelson if Jennings is out, that hasn't been the case, Nelson said.
"Everyone is going to play their coverage, play their defense that they do best," Nelson said. "I haven't seen any difference from the end of last year to last week."
Between this injury and the concussion that kept him out for a couple of weeks of training camp, Rodgers and Jennings haven't had a lot of time together.
"Not really concerned, but I think it's something we have to think about. We have a lot of game reps together. I'm not sure where's he at with his legs and his conditioning and his running. If he's out there, it's going to help our offense, but we definitely haven't had a lot of reps in training camp and the season thus far. It's going to be important to be on the same page and that's got to come through getting him out there and giving him some chances to catch the ball."
Did not participate: TE Tom Crabtree (shoulder), WR Greg Jennings (groin), LB Jamari Lattimore (ankle). Limited: WR Randall Cobb (hamstring), CB Davon House (shoulder), G Josh Sitton (knee), RB James Starks (toe), DE C.J. Wilson (groin). Full: LB Terrell Manning (concussion); LB Nick Perry (wrist).
"Randall practiced today and did the things he needed to do," McCarthy said. "Josh had a knee bruise in Tuesday's practice, but he was limited. I expect them to be OK by Monday."
Did not participate: CB Byron Maxwell (hamstring). Limited: WR Doug Baldwin (shoulder); RB Marshawn Lynch (back); TE Zach Miller (foot). Full: WR Charly Martin (chest); T Russell Okung (knee).
— The Packers are starting the season with games on Sunday, Thursday and Monday. What day is it, Coach? "Well, the toughest part is your personal life and remembering what day it is, really," McCarthy said. "But today is a Wednesday for us so we're fortunate as long as we're at work because everything is on schedule, we get into our routine and we were able to be on an in-season type practice schedule the last couple weeks of training camp. So, really, the challenge isn't at work; it's when you leave here (that's difficult)."
— Rather than being the starting quarterback opposite Rodgers on Monday, Matt Flynn will be back in his familiar role of holding a clipboard. "I'm just excited to see the guys," Flynn told reporters in Seattle. "Some of my good friends I've spent every day with the past four years are going to be up here. It's going to be fun to be on the other sideline, and I'm sure we'll talk some trash to each other and things like that. It will be fun. (I'm) excited to see 'em all again."
— According to the Elias Sports Bureau via the Packers, Green Bay's seven-sack, four-interception, 168-yard defensive performance against Chicago was the first of its kind in the NFL since Atlanta got eight sacks, four interceptions and allowed 122 yards against Carolina in 2002. In Packers history, they've had seven sacks and four interceptions on two other occasions: eight sacks and four interceptions against Atlanta in 1966 and eight sacks and five interceptions against San Diego in 1978.
— A couple of days after a workout with the Packers, Green Bay signed to the practice squad California (Pa.) cornerback James Nixon, an undrafted rookie who spent most of training camp with Arizona. Nixon (6-0, 180), who ran 4.31 in the 40 at his pro day, spent his first three seasons as a two-way player and kickoff returner for Temple. He transferred to the Division II school for academic reasons. As a senior, he started two of 12 games and didn't record an interception.

My first ever internet order to America. DHL did a great job of delivery with excellent tracking, arrived in four days. Kit in good condition, when opened was very pleased with the quality and comprehensive instructions.Started to build, tricky in places but straightforward, one or two hiccups along the way but was pleased enough to order Waverley tuners to finish. I may order some bone pins to keep the quality up. The guitar plays exceptionally well and having built it I find that the final setup is the closest I have ever had a guitar to my playing taste. I enclose a photo nearing completion but I am sure you have seen one of these before.
Built my first Guitar, a dreadnaught, during my attendance at a Luthier Guitar building course in July 2011. I have just completed my second and third guitars, the third being built from this kit with one alteration being that I used an Adirondack top. The result is superb and having quality tools (mostly acquired from StewMAc) means you enhance your chances of a great result. Guitar building can be addictive!
Quality of the kit and customer service was excellent, but I unexpectedly and necessarily ended up buying specialty tools that cost more than the kit itself. Even though a newbie can complete the kit on their own, I highly recommend finding an experienced luthier to help with some of the more complicated procedures that will make a big difference between a so-so guitar and a great instrument. Aside from that I'm more than pleased with the results and feel a great sense of accomplishment.
I built my 000 about three years ago. It never fails to amaze me how great this instrument sounds. As I use it to perform with I always get compliments on its tone. Because I was able to build it myself and size the neck to my hands it is a joy to play. I highly recommend taking the plunge and build your own.
As a complete novice, and someone with basically zero woodworking experience, this is a fantastic kit to work with. The quality of materials is outstanding - the back, sides and top I received are beautiful, clean specimens, the neck is a gorgeous piece of mahogany, and all other elements are precisely cut and of excellent quality.
The video and booklet instructions are very thoughtfully put together so that even a completely uninitiated boob like me can follow them pretty easily. I see no reason why even an experienced builder wouldn't be very pleased with this kit. Altogether, a very, very cleverly constructed and versatile kit for a very cool body style - the 12-fret 000. And of course StewMac's customer service is invariably first rate. I would recommend this kit highly to anyone interested in building a guitar.
If you're interested in the theory and mechanics of building an acoustic guitar this kit has all you'll need. The 'how-to' instructions, DVD, and pre-cut, pre-shaped wood can save you thousands of dollars in equipment, time, and books with conflicting theories about how to do it right. This is as close to building side by side with experienced luthiers and top quality woods as you can get.
It makes me happy to look at it.
Working process is heavenly gift.
I was thrilled that my first attempt came out so well. I have a greater respect for the craft after building a guitar. Superb crisp tones. Wasn't 100%. Had some buzzing frets high up the neck and the bridge n saddle needed some tweaking, so I took it to a local luthier. He made the fine adjustment and said, he "was impressed with the quality of sound from a kit guitar." It's set in DADGAD and sits along side my Yairi. I play both proudly and with equal pleasure
I've just complete my first kit and, as the instructions says: I cant' stop now, I must build a new guitar
Many thanks from Russia. Kit the magnificent! Packing reliable. Very sympathetic people work in StewMac. Thanks Larry!
To start to build guitars without Kit - in vain to waste time. Really many tools are not necessary. For those who continues to doubt. Or those at whom else are not present professional tools. For example is not present Go-bar Clamping System. Do not despair! Take my decision on a photo.
Order to itself Kit and have pleasure. You will stick together it even on kitchen!

Civil War
- Paperback: $17.00 add to cart
A magnificent new translation of the enduring epic about the sundering of the Roman Republic.
Lucan lived from 39-65 AD at a time of great turbulence in Rome. His Civil War portrays two of the most colorful and powerful figures of the age-Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, enemies in a vicious struggle for power that severed bloodlines and began the transformation of Roman civilization. With Right locked in combat with Might, law and order broke down and the anarchic violence that resulted left its mark on the Roman people forever, paving the way for the imperial monarchy. Accessible and modern yet loyal to the rhetorical brilliance of the original, this will be the definitive Civil War of our times.
-Leah Kronenberg, Rutgers University
"I do congratulate Penguin on giving the translators space to introduce the poet and his place in Latin literary history, and provide a level of annotation that makes this edition an asset to any serious reader: the translation is easy to follow and greatly helps to appreciate Lucan's learned and idiosyncratic pageant of civil conflict."
-Elaine Fantham, University of Toronto
"I was deeply impressed. It is not just another translation: it has a special intensity and vibe, and I am recommending it to whoever teaches Lucan and also to people interested in contemporary translations of poetry. The quality of the footnotes and summaries is also noteworthy."
-Professor Alessandro Barchiesi of Stanford University and the University of Siena
"I teach this poem as part of an MA seminar course on the epic tradition, and I was most impressed at its suitability for students. The translation is fluent and readable, yet still manages to convey something of the violent and jagged nature of Lucan's epic style. The excerpt from Petronius included as an appendix will be especially valuable in situating the poet in his literary context. I look forward to assigning this translation as a core text for many years to come."
-Dr. Martin Brady at University College Dublin, School of Classics

Aptly named "Under the Influence," for its daredevil antics and undeniably beautiful scenery, Teton Gravity Research's latest film will premiere Friday at 8 p.m. at John Ascuaga's Nugget.
The annual film premiere event takes place in nearly 150 locations across the United States, Japan and Europe, and it's just in time for an expected snowy weekend here in the Truckee Meadows.
Headed by popular, self-acclaimed sports enthusiasts Corey Gavitt, Dirk Collins, and Todd and Steve Jones, TGR has been pleasing adventure enthusiasts since 1996, garnering some of the top names in professional extreme sports.
And 18 internationally acclaimed and award-winning films later, TGR has joined the company of recognizable filmmakers Warren Miller and Autumn Line in splashing extreme sports onto the big screen.
TGR has also produced numerous TV series, showcased on NBC, Fuel TV and Showtime, as well as several commercial spots for Engergizer and Gatorade, to name a few.
And now, with "Under the Influence," which is said to celebrate one of the best winter seasons yet, viewers can expect to see some of the upcoming greats — Jeremy Jones, Dash Longe and Victoria Jealouse — shredding the slopes and defying the fear of heights.
Featuring remote locations in Alaska, Romania, Switzerland and the North Cascades, the Jackson Hole-based crew's movie will no doubt impress impress audiences with helicopter-drop skiing and snowboarding and narrow spine drop-offs that are sure to take away a breath or two.
Audiences can expect some backside 360s, McTwists 540s, plenty of big air grabs and lots of freestyle, pure down-mountain skiing. An added bonus is stunning cinematography from the riders themselves, as they strap on extra cameras to get some point-of-view footage.
Supplemental interviews and biographies in between jump montages help bring these crazy men and women to life, showing who really is behind all the goggles and gear.
In addition to the viewing of the film, lift tickets and season passes to local resorts will be raffled off at the event
Premiere starts at 8 p.m. at tickets cost $10.

During that hour, start treating the dog's hypovolemia and hypotension with fluid resuscitation (0.9% sodium chloride solution
at 60 to 80 ml/kg for the first one or two hours), administer a glucocorticoid in the form of a dexamethasone salt (1 mg/kg
dexamethasone sodium phosphate given intravenously) rather than prednisone so it won't interfere with your ACTH stimulation
test results, provide thermal support (e.g. forced-air warming with a Bair Hugger [Arizant Healthcare] or a warm-water- circulating blanket), and administer a mineralocorticoid,
such as desoxycorticosterone pivalate (DOCP; Percorten-V—Novartis Animal Health) (1 mg/lb given intramuscularly), right away.
Data show that giving DOCP daily to healthy dogs is not harmful,4
and there is no medical disadvantage to giving this drug during a potential addisonian crisis. Administer DOCP intramuscularly
during an addisonian crisis because the drug may be poorly absorbed in dehydrated, hypovolemic, hypotensive patients if given
As an alternative to DOCP, you may administer fludrocortisone acetate (Florinef—Bristol-Myers Squibb), which has mineralocorticoid
and glucocorticoid activities. But this drug must be given orally, and addisonian dogs are already likely experiencing gastrointestinal
dysfunction such as vomiting or gastric bleeding. Furthermore, DOCP corrects the electrolyte abnormalities that occur with
hypoadrenocorticism better than fludrocortisone does.5
After one or two hours, decrease the saline solution administration rate to meet the dog's fluid replacement needs. If the
dog doesn't respond well to the above therapy within 24 hours, reassess your diagnostic test results thoroughly.
As you transition to maintenance therapy for hypoadrenocorticism, recheck dogs two weeks after the first DOCP injection and
every week thereafter, and measure serum electrolyte concentrations. By assessing patients for hyperkalemia and hyponatremia,
you will be better able to determine the DOCP administration interval. The frequency of DOCP administration is determined
by the time the sodium or potassium concentration, or both, is no longer in the reference range after the initial dose of
In my experience, some dogs may require a DOCP dosing interval of every two weeks and others may require a dosing interval
of every eight weeks (the labeled dosing interval is every 25 days). Furthermore, I have found that large dogs (> 50 lb) may
need only 0.5 mg/lb DOCP, and if their electrolyte concentrations are normal at four weeks after the first injection, you
may be able to effectively treat these patients with an even lower dose. DOCP is also effective when given subcutaneously,6 and we have taught our clients how to administer these injections at home, thus saving the expense and time of a trip to
the hospital for dogs that are stable.
Fludrocortisone acetate may be used as maintenance mineralocorticoid replacement therapy, but it is inferior to DOCP with
respect to normalization of serum sodium and potassium concentrations. And in dogs weighing > 20 to 25 lb, it will be more
expensive than DOCP.
In dogs with stable disease, perform a recheck examination and laboratory tests every four to six months and anytime the dog
becomes ill.
Glucocorticoid supplementation (0.2 to 0.4 mg/kg prednisone given orally once a day or every other day) will be needed as
part of lifelong treatment in dogs receiving DOCP. Instruct clients that the dose will need to be increased in times of illness
or other stress, such as hospitalization or boarding. When a stressful episode is anticipated, administer additional glucocorticoids
the day before and two or three days after the event.

Letter from the Principal
Dear Lincoln Families:
A very busy spring semester 2014 is upon us. Please make note that the most important date of the year is the graduation ceremony on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 at 9:00am at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. This has been an outstanding class and I look forward to the many senior activities in the coming months.
Many families received "First Notices of Truancy" during February. Due to a problem with the school district's software program, no notices were sent during the first semester so this first letter was retroactive from the first day of school. Please review those letters carefully with your child. If you have questions please contact your child's counselor, the Deans' Office or an administrator so we may resolve any concerns.
The spring testing season is upon us and there have been drastic changes to the state-wide testing procedures. The junior class however will take both the old California Standards Test with the results reported to the California State University System and the new Smarter Balanced Assessment. Please check the daily bulletin and calendar on www.lincolnhigh.net for special schedules related to testing. Also questions regarding the new assessment can be answered on the district website, www.sfusd.edu .
Another exciting development is the new Common Core Math sequence recently adopted by the Board of Education that will roll out during the 2015-16 School Year. More detailed information can be found on the district website as well.
Finally, I would implore all Lincoln families to stay connected to the school through School Loop, the school website and the PTSA. Of course, you may contact me as well any time!

No-Holds-Barred CJ-8
Mike LeBlanc bought his '82 CJ-8 off eBay back in 2006 and had it shipped from Missouri to his home in Valley Center, California.
It's common for virgin sheetmetal to go from west-to-east, but it's far less common for Californians to import vehicles from the rust belt. But Scramblers aren't all that common, and Mike's purchase looked okay online. But when it arrived, Mike discovered the beauty was only skin-deep. The TPI 350 engine turned out to be a 305. The TH700R4 transmission wound up needing to be rebuilt. The 35x12.50R15LT "Traction Radial" tires were mounted on some of the fugliest wheels ever conceived. The front fenders were from a YJ and were fitted with color-matched TJ flares. And the body filler in some places was almost 3/4-inch thick. But Mike didn't really care because he had a plan and money wasn't a foremost concern. What he wanted was a Scrambler that could comfortably drive up to 50 miles to the trailhead, easily mob through any terrain west of the Mississippi, and then safely drive back. To make it happen, he took the Jeep to Jay Miller at TAG Motorsports in Escondido, California, for what would ultimately become a year-long, frame-up transformation.
The most surprising thing you'll notice when you stick your head under the Jeep is the stock frame still in one piece from front to back. Scrambler frames are fully boxed from the factory, so it made sense to retain it. Especially since the old-school Advance Adapters Chevy V-8 mounts were already installed. Otherwise, everything under the frame got the heave-ho.
Miller ditched the 2.73-geared factory Dana 30 and Model 20 axles, leaf springs, and spring mounts and ordered a pair of iron RockJock axles from Currie Enterprises. While the axles were being built, the frame was smoothed and prepped to accept a custom link-type, coilover suspension front and rear. Miller used a GenRight Off Road three-link front and four-link rear builder kit that included frame and axle mounts, 2-inch-diameter, 0.250-wall DOM tubing, weld-in bungs, and Johnny Joints, as well as top-quality 7/8-inch FK chromoly rod ends for the track bar. Once the axles arrived the suspension build commenced. Out back, the GenRight frame brackets worked with no problem, but up front Miller had to modify the brackets supplied with the three-link kit for clearance around the already-installed small-block Chevy engine. With the axles located, a quartet of 14-inch-travel, 2-inch-diameter King remote-reservoir coilovers were hung off the frame with some custom coil buckets. Miller liked the Currie Enterprise coil buckets, but they were about 4 inches too short for the build. He mooched some shop time from a buddy with a laser cutter and press brake and built his own copies out of 3/16-inch steel. A set of 175- over 350-lb coils up front and 200- over 300-lb coils out back dialed in the ride height for the planned 40-inch tires.

Medina, al-Madīnah l-Munawwarah, is a city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia, and serves as the capital of the Al Madinah Province. It is the second holiest city in Islam, and the burial place of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and it is historically significant for being his home after the Hijrah. Before the advent of Islam, the city was known as Yathrib, but was personally renamed by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Medina is home to the three oldest mosques in Islam, namely; Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (The Prophet's Mosque), Quba Mosque (the first mosque in Islam's history), and Masjid al-Qiblatain (the mosque where the qibla was switched to Mecca).
Because of the Saudi government's religious policy and concern that historic sites could become the focus for idolatry, much of Medina's Islamic physical heritage has been destroyed since the beginning of Saudi rule.
The Islamic calendar is based on the emigration of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his followers to the city of Medina, which marks the start of the Hijri year in 622 CE, called Hijra.
Similarly to Mecca, entrance to Medina is restricted to Muslims only; non-Muslims are neither permitted to enter nor travel through the city.
Religious significance in Islam
Medina's importance as a religious site derives from the presence of Al-Masjid al-Nabawi or The Mosque of The Prophet. The tomb of Prophet Muhammad later became part of the mosque when it was expanded by the Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid I. Mount Uhud is a mountain north of Medina which was the site of the second battle between Muslim and Meccan forces.
The first mosque built during Muhammad's time is also located in Medina and is known as Masjid Quba' (the Quba Mosque). It was destroyed by lightning, probably about 850 CE, and the graves were almost forgotten. In 892, the place was cleared up, the tombs located and a fine mosque built, which was destroyed by fire in 1257 CE and almost immediately rebuilt. It was restored by Qaitbay, the Egyptian ruler, in 1487.
Masjid al-Qiblatain is another mosque also historically important to Muslims. It is where the prophet changed the direction of prayer (qibla) from Jerusalem to Mecca according to Sunni hadiths.
Like Mecca, the city of Medina only permits Muslims to enter, although the haram (area closed to non-Muslims) of Medina is much smaller than that of Mecca, with the result that many facilities on the outskirts of Medina are open to non-Muslims, whereas in Mecca the area closed to non-Muslims extends well beyond the limits of the built-up area. Both cities' numerous mosques are the destination for large numbers of Muslims on their Hajj (annual pilgrimage). Hundreds of thousands of Muslims come to Medina annually to visit the Tomb of Prophet and to worship at mosques in a unified celebration.[citation needed] Al-Baqi' is a significant cemetery in Medina where several family members of Muhammad, caliphs and scholars are buried, as well as Shias imams.
Islamic scriptures emphasize the sacredness of Medina. Medina is mentioned several times as being sacred in the Qur'an, for example ayah; 9:101, 9:129, 59:9, and ayah 63:7. Medinan suras are typically longer than their Meccan counterparts. There is also a book within the hadith of Bukhari titled 'virtues of Medina'.
Sahih Bukhari says;
" Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people."
Al-Masjid al-Nabawi
Al-Masjid al-Nabawi, often called the Prophet's Mosque, is a mosque situated in the city of Medina. As the final resting place of the Prophet Muhammad, it is considered the second holiest site in Islam by Muslims (the first being the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca) and is one of the largestmosques in the world. The mosque is under the control of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
One of the most notable features of the site is the Green Dome over the center of the mosque, where the tomb of Muhammad is located. It is not exactly known when the green dome was constructed but manuscripts dating to the early 12th century describe the dome. It is known as the Dome of the Prophet or the Green Dome. Subsequent Islamic rulers greatly expanded and decorated it. Early Muslim leaders Abu Bakr and Umar are buried in an adjacent area in the mosque.
The site was originally Muhammad's house; he settled there after his Hijra (emigration) to Medina, later building a mosque on the grounds. He himself shared in the heavy work of construction. The original mosque was an open-air building. The basic plan of the building has been adopted in the building of other mosques throughout the world.
The mosque also served as a community center, a court, and a religious school. There was a raised platform for the people who taught the Qur'an. In 1909, it became the first place in the Arabian Peninsula to be provided with electrical lights.
Muhammad's arrival
In 622, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Muhajirun left Mecca and arrived at Yathrib, an event that would transform the religious and political landscape completely; the longstanding enmity between the Aus and Khazraj tribes was dampened as many of the two tribes embraced Islam. Muhammad, linked to the Khazraj through his great grandmother, was soon made the chief and united the Muslim converts of Yathrib under the name Ansar ("the Patrons" or "the Helpers"). After Muhammad's arrival, the city gradually came to be known as Medina (literally "city" in Arabic). Some consider this name as a derivative from the Aramaic word Medinta, which the Jewish inhabitants would have used for the city.
Mount Uhud
Mount Uhud is a mountain in north of Medina. It is 1,077 m (3,533 ft) high. This is a section of Mount Uhud, in front of which the second battle in Islam (the Battle of Uhud) took place in 3 AH. Of this mountain the Prophet (s.a.w.) declared, "This mountain loves us and we love it." [Muslim].
Masjid Quba
Quba is the place on the outskirts of Madinah where the Prophet (s.a.w.), accompanied by Abu Bakr (r.a.) arrived and first stayed after emigrating from Makkah. They arrived on Monday 12th Rab'i al-Awwal, fourteen years after Prophethood and this date marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar (Hijra). (16th July 622 CE). A masjid was established here by the Prophet (s.a.w.), the first to be built in Islam.
The virtue of Masjid Qubas is mentioned in the following Quranic verse in Surah Taubah:
"...certainly a masjid founded on piety from the very first day is more deserving that you should stand in it..." [9:108]
The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "He who purifies himself at his home and comes to Masjid Quba and offers two rakats therein, will be rewarded the reward of an Umrah (lesser pilgrimage)." [Sunan ibn Majah]
Masjid Qiblatain
This is Masjid Qiblatain (Mosque of the Two Qiblas). It is historically important to Muslims as this is where in Rajab 2 AH the revelation of the Holy Quran came to change the direction of the qibla from Bait-al-Maqdis in Jerusalem to the Ka'bah in Makkah.
During his time in Makkah, the Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.) used to pray towards Bait-al-Maqdis, with the Ka'bah in front of him. When he migrated to Madinah, he prayed towards Jerusalem for 16 months, but he hoped it would be changed to the Ka'bah.
During Dhuhr prayer or it was said that it was Asr, the Prophet (s.a.w.) had led his Companions in praying two rak'ahs , when he was commanded to face towards the Ka'bah by the following revelation in the Holy Quran in Surah al-Baqarah:
"Verily, We have seen the turning of your (Muhammed's) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid Al-Haram (at Makkah). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction." [2:144 ]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) turned around towards the Ka'bah and the Sahabah copied out of obedience. Thus the Ka'bah became the new qibla of the Muslims for all time to come.
Masjid Qiblatain used to uniquely contains two mehrabs, one in the direction of Bait-al-Maqdis and the other towards Makkah. However, the old mehrab has now been covered.

My spike like's this week is the Nasa Kepler Mission. In the past few months Kepler has discovered a Earth-like planet in the "habitable" zone of a star and a Tatooine planet with 2 suns. So far the Kepler telescope has spotted 2,326 candidate planets outside our solar system with 139 of them potentially habitable ones.

Whether you ask the ones who own it or the ones who don't, most will say the same thing; the Nintendo 3DS software line-up is a bit lacking at this point, especially given that months have passed without a single noteworthy release. Thankfully, Nintendo is set to remedy the situation at the end of the year, with a couple of big hitters booked in for the Christmas release period. Of note among these is Super Mario 3D Land, another Goomba stomping entry in Nintendo's flagship franchise, set to offer traditional Super Mario platforming with a twist of stereoscopic 3D for good measure. To see (literally) just how Super Mario 3D Land is shaping up - and whether or not its worth getting excited about - Nintendo Australia invited us down for the day to go hands-on with the plumber and his collection of power-ups, including a few surprising returns.
At first glance Super Mario 3D Land strikes most similarities to the Super Mario Galaxy series, particularly in the aesthetics and presentation of the game, which retains the clean, colour rich style of the two Galaxy titles as well as a few shared assets, and a pleasantly smooth framerate in 3D. Though unsurprising given the team behind the title, the similarities begin to fall apart once you start playing, as we discovered Super Mario 3D Land doesn't play quite like Super Mario Galaxy at all, but something else entirely.
In terms of level design, its as if we exist in an alternate reality, back in time, where Super Mario 64 was never released, and Nintendo instead tried to do something different with their first 3D outing. As a result, Super Mario 3D Land feels like a hybrid of what we've come to know from 3D Mario titles, though with stronger traditional 2D roots, a blend best described as 2.5D Super Mario. Unlike Super Mario 64, the stages here are far more compartmentalised, making for shorter, focused platforming challenges over the open areas of Super Mario 64.
This hybrid design also extends to the controls and general flow of the stages. Instead of being designed as large, explorable locales, Super Mario 3D Land is designed to focus on eight directional play, not unlike the eight directions one can select on a d-pad. This tighter, directional focused level design results in some stages playing like a classic 2D platformer, adopting a side scrolling camera perspective or isometric angle, throwing enemies and platforming hurdles at the player at linear directions and sharp, precise turns.
Enforcing this eight directional play is the control scheme, which literally tethers the eight digital directions to the analogue pad. Though this control scheme works fine, given the tighter, eight directional level design, it does at first feel a little strange and arguably restrictive. Even though the levels are designed to account for this control scheme, we did experience a couple of moments where we wished we had proper analogue control of Mario, and fitting digital controls to analogue pad makes for somewhat of learning curve.
Nintendo's choice in eight directional level design serves a purpose though, and that is where the stereoscopic 3D comes into play. Camera perspectives are lined up in such a way that with 3D enabled, and thus the benefits of stereo depth given to the image, players can accurately perceive the distance between platforms and enemies to make those pin precise jumps. In fact, thanks to the locked camera perspective (often isometric) Nintendo has made use of some cute visual trickery, lining up platforms in such a way that in 2D an optical illusion of a flat image is created, while with 3D enabled the depth to the image makes it clear where everything really is.
Because not everybody can see the stereo 3D of the 3DS, and some just aren't fans, we gave a few levels a shot in 2D and found that even with the lack of depth to the display the game was still playable. 2D gamers need not be worried that the various platforming challenges in Super Mario 3D Land will be impossible to navigate without 3D. That being said, the game has certainly been designed from the ground up for a stereo 3D display, and those that use it will get the extra benefits of image depth, as well as some tasty visual effects
Thematically, Super Mario 3D Land is like a blast from the past. Though, as mentioned, many assets and style choices are shared with the Super Mario Galaxy series, this game also draws a lot of influence from Super Mario Bros. 3. In fact, coupled with the inspiration from 2D platforming roots, Super Mario 3D Land could almost be considered a sequel to Super Mario Bros. 3.
Many classic enemies and items return, and at the forefront of these is the Super Leaf, which turns Mario into 'Tanooki Mario' this time. Quite similar to it's original design, the Super Leaf allows Mario to do a tail spin to attack enemies, as well as a short hover to make those long jumps a wee bit easier. Other returning Super Mario Bros 3. staples include the musical blocks which, as expected, cause Mario to bounce high while playing a little jingle, and tiny Mario, the pre-Super Mushroom state that has only ever appeared in the 2D iterations of the Mario franchise. Super Mario 3D Land even features the classic end-level flagpole, another first for the 3D iterations.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Super Mario 3D Land, as both a familiar Super Mario game as well as something a little new. Nintendo's Super Mario Galaxy team has already proven to know just what is required to make a good 3D platformer, and Super Mario 3D Land looks to continue the tradition of high standards.
Though the controls are not without some concern, the choice to take the game in a different direction from the typical Super Mario Galaxy experience is a welcome change, and the hybrid 3D/2D level design gives the game a fresh presentation and play style that allows it to stand on its own. Compartmentalised level design should make for the perfect portable experience, and with 2D/3D optical illusions and an emphasis on stereo depth for platforming we could be looking at the best 3DS game yet.
Shout out to Nintendo Australia for having us down for the day. If you missed our previous hands-on impressions, make sure to check out our Mario Kart 7 and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword write ups.

The heel 90 is not a fitting you can use for a vent. That needs to be a sanitary Tee. The shower is not vented, as shown.
I'm trying to vent my shower and came up with this mock-up. This will be between the floor joists separating the first and second floors. The 3" straight waste line on the right is coming from the second floor bathroom group and is already vented. The shower will also be on the second floor but will drain into the 3" drain here. The 90 w/heel will then turn down vertically into a wet wall on the first floor. Two questions. I'm a little shy of joist depth to be able to stack that wye/1/8 vertical to accept the line from the shower p-trap. I would be ok to roll that wye as long as I don't go beyond 45 degrees correct? #2... am I really venting the shower If I take a vent off the top of that 90 w/heel and go up through the roof (I have a wall I can pass it through above there) or does the vent have to come off of the trap arm between the p-trap and where it connects to the existing drain shown (which will be miniscule in length plus be underneath the shower pan so I couldn't go vertical from there)?
Thanks, Jeff
The heel 90 is not a fitting you can use for a vent. That needs to be a sanitary Tee. The shower is not vented, as shown.
" They only make the Santee bend in the lo-heel, which is what is always used for venting.
It it was a shower or lav, it would have to be a santee bend going from horizontal to vertical. "
Isn't that what I'm doing in my layout? I have a book showing some fittings. They call the fitting I have a "low-heel vent 90" and it's right next to a "waste t aka san t" What are the differences in the two and why call it a vent 90 if it can't be used as a vent? So, if I changed that fitting to a sanitary Tee, would the shower be vented? If not, what would be your solution? How about the other question on rolling that wye?
Thanks for your help, Jeff
I understand it will be vertical....and I am open to correction if someone says they can be used like that.
The UPC would allow the LHO 1/4 for just the toilet, but the shower messes things up. You should put a 3X2 wye below the LHO with a 2" 1/8 looking up, then a 2 X1 1/2X 2 san tee. The shower drains into the side of the tee and an 1 1/2" vent goes up. Tie the vents together up higher, 42" above the floor would please the inspector. There are other ways to do it, but I can't suggest any without seeing the whole situation.
Last edited by asktom; 08-28-2010 at 05:44 PM.
Just curious, you have any idea why that LHO would be ok for a toilet vent, but nothing else? Have something to do with where the vent opening inside the fitting is maybe?
By the way, this house I'm building is in Thompson Falls, not too awfully far from you.
Thanks again, Jeff

To a homeowner, I'm sure that the waste and vents are overkill. Until you have to start using them.
You can't run a bathroom group past the shower without venting between the wye and the trap to prevent siphoning.
The Santee can be used vertically, but that gets trumped by the bathroom group running into it.
The suggestion above, putting a wye on the stack, bringing it up to a 2.0 x 1.5 x 2.0 santee and having vent for the shower makes the most sense.
I have no idea what the 3x2 lo-heel would be venting, if the bathroom group is already vented.
"Besides venting a toilet, are there any other uses where you could vent with that low heel ?"
If the 3" line were lower, you could put a santee on the 2" that rises out of the low heel, and run the shower from there.
I doubt that would work for you though if this is coming through a joist space. It would need more vertical for that to space out correctly.
when I get back over there. It would sure be nice to do that, save me drilling another hole in the top plate as well as more room in the wet wall.
Thanks Terry, Jeff

Life Time Diosmin Flavonoid Complex

Posted by Reviewer3083543 From New York on Nov 19, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
Excellent product! Diosmin aids with leg vein circulation. The other flavonoids included in this formula support circulation too. Using it as directed (2 capsules daily)helps with swollen legs and ankles. Using it continuously over time spider veins on legs decrease in size. Have tried other leg vein products when searching for this particular brand. Was happy to find this product at a great price on iHerb.com I do not experience any unwanted side effects from using Life Time Diosmin. Highly recommend this product!

I have suffered with hemmorroids for years. They're back even after having them painfully removed 30 years ago. Being in a desperate situation again, a friend suggested Diosmin. I was skeptical, but willing to try, not wanting surgery again. I tried several prescription drugs for nearly a year, with no relief. Diosmin is a miracle in my life. I would not of believed it could happen! I take 4 caps a day and my symptoms are gone. Do not hesitate if you are in need of help. These will bring you so much relief and ability to enjoy life again.
It has helped me!

I have plantar fasciitus that causes intense pain in my heal. This is the only thing I have tried that eliminates the pain entirely. The first time I was taking this for spider veins but realized after 2 weeks of taking it that my foot problem had just disappeared. I continued for a few months and had absolutely no problems. I convinced myself it was in my head and stopped when I ran out (too lazy to re-order!). Well about two -three weeks after I stopped taking it my pain returned and my foot got worse. I started up again about 2 weeks ago and my pain is gone again! I am convinced that this is a great product. Oh, and I have noticed that my spider veins do actually seem to fade a bit while I am taking it. I have not taken it long enough though to see long term results on that.
Great Product!

I've used this product for a few months and my spider veins, which were pretty bad on my right leg, are around 80 percent gone! I do take more than the minimum dose though, six to eight capsules a day.....
Help for my nosebleeds

I have HHT (don't ask) I have little capillary nodules that come to surface of my skin. I have them in my nose/sinuses and I get nosebleeds every day. This, cayenne and vitamin C seem to help. Instead of 30+ min. bleeds and nighttime bleeds soaking my pillow, now it's just a 'drip bleed' that I can wipe away with a Kleenex.

It was a chilling scene in Washington, D.C. earlier this week. The Senate Democratic Policy Committee held a two hour hearing on soldiers' exposures to sodium dichromate at Qarmat Ali in 2003. Here is a link to the webcast of the hearing .
Oregon National Guard member Rocky Bixby represented the Oregon troops. I attended with Rocky.
Many people are owed thanks and recognition for their efforts., including all the senators who attended. Senator Dorgan, who chairs the committee, has been a force for change on this matter. Senators Bayh, Rockefeller, Reid, Whitehouse, Udall, and Wyden also attended, each adding something important to the mix.
I wanted to particularly acknowledge Senator Wyden for taking time out of the pressing demands posed by health care reform. As well, Sen. Reid's presence was particularly remarkable, as his leadership duties are demanding.
After the hearing, Senator Jeff Merkley made time to meet with Rocky Bixby. The meeting with Senator Merkley and his staff went well. It's clear that they are concerned and motivated to help our injured soldiers. Rocky and I were so appreciative that Senator Merkley could make time to meet with Rocky and listen to his story.
Finally, I want to recognize the amazing staff of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee. They did great work pulling together comprehensive proof presented at the hearing.
To our Oregon troops and clients, I can only say that the Oregon Senate delegation has made it clear by their words and deeds that they are behind you. And of course, that's in addition to the Oregon Legislature, and Rep. Schrader and other members of Congress working on federal legislation.
To our state legislators and the Oregon Congressional delegation, I can say that our troops appreciate your words of encouragement and your efforts and kindness. They have a long haul ahead. We appreciate your help to date and hope that you can continue to find time and resources to assist the troops as this thing unfolds.
Listen to the hearing. It's very disturbing. The men and women who served need our help. That's why we're in this thing against KBR.
