A cover letter can provide a potential employer with information that cannot easily fit on a resume. For example:
A cover letter also gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to write clearly. Your correct spelling, proper grammar and complete and informative sentences, can be an additional motivator for an employer to ask you for an interview.
You should always include a cover letter with your resume. Revise it each time, to be relevant to the position you are seeking.
You should always address the letter to a person (not Sir/Madam, To Whom It May Concern). If you don't know the name of the hiring manager, you can use the Human Resources Manager's name. It's easy to find this on the company's website.

Inequality in America: The 'Great Divergence' explained
Sometimes, it's just so simple. What is the Occupy Movement protesting? That income and wealth gains have gone disproportionately to the top 1 percent. And how did this come about? Well, according to this recent paper from the San Francisco Fed, you can blame the "Great Divergence," which took place after the Great Convergence of the war years. And what caused the divergence? A failure of education:
Economists Lawrence Katz and Claudia Goldin argue that the educational system has failed to produce an adequate supply of skilled labor to keep up with the pace of technological change over the past 30 years. In contrast, remember that the Great Compression that took place in the early 1940s was essentially a reversal of this situation, where skilled labor was plentiful at a time when unskilled labor was in demand, flattening wages across the labor market. Today, employers are competing to hire highly skilled workers from a limited pool, creating a wage premium for those with better training and education; the result is the widening income gap across education groups. In addition, consider the impact of educational attainment on employability; in September 2011, the unemployment rate for those without a high school degree was 13 percent, but for those with a bachelor's degree, the unemployment rate was 4.2 percent.

Retirement Savings Advice From Retirees
More than half of current retirees (54%) are confident they will be able to live comfortably throughout retirement. In contrast, only a quarter of those below the retirement age and currently employed ("current workers") are confident about having enough income in retirement, according to the latest BlackRock Annual Retirement Survey.
The retirees have useful advice for current workers. Specifically, they suggested workers should save early and as much as they can. More than 80% of retirees who described themselves as confident also said workers should:
- Increase their retirement contribution savings whenever they are able to (90% of confident retirees did this);
- Make the most of their 401(k) plans (87% of confident retirees did this);
- Estimate retirement income needs before retiring (84% of confident retirees did this); and
- Review retirement savings strategy on a regular basis (83% of confident retirees did this).

Steven Baker from North Carolina posted about 1 year ago:
A further bit of advice is living well below your means. You don't have to have the best house, the best car, or eat at the best restaurants to be happy. These will kill your retirement savings capabilities. Current workers will suffer from increased tax and health care burdens that will have to be planned carefully planned for, and there are no "second chances", so I would advise a very conservative outlook.
Ed from New Jersey posted about 1 year ago:
My wife and I maxed out our 401(k) contributions years ago. In addition, for many years, we were making automatic mutual fund investments.
We have always lived under our means and learned to regularly invest the rest.
You can always find funding for college education and home renovation.
But there are no programs available to fund your retirement if you do not do it yourself.
Bobby from Virginia posted about 1 year ago:
When I was working my company had a defined benefit retirement plan as well as a company match 401K. Today, pensions are fast disappearing and employees are expected to be knowledgeable about investment opportunities and appropriate portfolio allocations for their 401Ks. Most are not. It will be more difficult for the next "post-baby boomer" generation than it was for us. And that's not including the likelihood that qualification for Social Security benefits will be more difficult. They need to SAVE - SAVE - SAVE.
James Harless from Tennessee posted about 1 year ago:
Yes, too many folks use credit cards too much, and want more than they NEED. Saving for the future is not as popular as being the big spender, so you have to have your own values and self dicipline. My wife and I were public employees, with employment with pension, and with some use of 401K with very little or no match, But we did make use of the 401K, etc. I found No free sources of good financial advice, and many times those I talked to were bias toward selling products to benefit them, as so called financial planners who were often annuity salesmen. One does need to consider a few hours with a financial advisor who does not sell you products, but looks at the big picture of where best put your resources.
Bill from Texas posted about 1 year ago:
I was very lucky when I was just starting in my first job my Dad a banker suggested that I start planning for retirement. He gave me a book on financial planning and was always available for advice. My wife and I planned for our retirement by saving 10% from every paycheck. It was difficult at first but after a couple of years and normal wage increases we never missed the 10%. When IRA's and 401k started we put our normal savings into these plans for the tax advantages and the match on the 401k, any remaining money went into mutual funds. Instead of buying life insurance when we paid monthly on an annuity. The annuity had a life insurance feature and at age 65 it converted to a monthly retirement payment. My advice to anyone who is just starting out would be to:
• read any keep current on financial planning and budgeting
• depend on yourself and not on a financial planner
• to make maximum use of 401k and IRA's
• use a Large mutual fund with low overhead costs.
• also monitor you investment performance monthly
Paul from Michigan posted about 1 year ago:
Not discussed is once you've retired, how can one live until you are 95 with the money saved. In my case I used financial planning tools to provide me with guidance as to how long the money will last. Then I'm planning to spend any surplus. Having a road map showing me the future provides great peace of to enjoy our financialy independentlife. I tell the kids not to worry that if things don't work out, all we'll need from them is a corner of room and a bale of hay.
Don from California posted about 1 year ago:
Retired at 58, 23 years ago. All of the other preceding comments apply, live below your means, but PLAN, PLAN, and retire TO SOMETHING, not FROM something Wrote an Excel (Lotus 123 back then) plan and re-checked it 7 years later and was right on. Not working but volunteering - Payback mode.
Donald Myers from Arizona posted about 1 year ago:
For those employed by a company or a public agency, there will almost always be some kind of pension plan, sometimes like a 401k and sometimes a defined benefit plan or perhaps both. It is very important to pay attention to any materials that are sent from either the 401k or IRA or pension plan. At one time it might have been safe to assume that the plan(s) would not change during the time of employment or at least that any changes would be improvements. That is no longer a safe assumption. Moreover changes might even occur after retiring. Sometimes changes only affect more recent hires but not always, companies use reorganizations to dump retirement plans or make big changes. In addition to pension benefits one must also pay attention to health benefits and the extent to which they are still provided after retirement. Keeping all information sent to employees and/or retirees is essential to protect yourself or at least to be forewarned. 401k's and IRA's provided through an employer usually have restrictions on the investment choices and those might get changed when you least expect it (I speak from personal experience)
It goes without saying that you need to monitor your investments in any pension plan both during your working years as well as afterwards. The benefit of time and compounding is no benefit at all if the investments are just standing still

just in general to improve (you will hear this allot sorry) study up on anatomy and how things are placed and fit together. Allot of people say not to copy draw from artist that you admire because you will get stuck in that style and learn their mistakes but i think its best to copy draw so you learn diffrent styles and see what you like and feel comfrotable with.
If you learn (if you havent allready) the egg drawing method (oval or egg with two lines dividing the oval into four sections) and learn to break down the elements of the face and body into simple shapes (circles triangles squares and rectangles) you will get much better at placing everything and even being able to break down other peoples drawings to see how they drew it and redo it yourself.
The hair seems to close to his scalp (not the spikes) and has no volume at the smoother parts. May i ask how long you have been drawing?

Image of the Day: Holiday Ribbon Captured in
This image of the planetary nebula NGC 5189 was
captured by the Hubble Space Telescope and forms a dramatic S-shape
which some can say imitates the "swoosh" of a ribbon.
Planetary nebulae represent a final brief stage
in the life of a star like the Sun. While consuming the last of the
fuel in its core, the star expels a large portion of its outer
regions, which then heats up and glows brightly, showing intricate
structures that scientists are still trying to fully understand.
The structure visible within NGC 5189 is particularly dramatic, and
Hubble's image of the nebula is by far the most detailed
yet made of this object.
Hubble has been a key tool for studying
planetary nebulae for years, and many of its images have become
famous. As well as being highly attractive, planetary nebulae tell
us about the ultimate fate of the Sun, which will form such a
nebula when it runs out of fuel in a little over five billion
This nebula shows a series of dense knots in the
clouds of gas. The gas and radiation flowing out from the dying
star carves out shapes in the clouds, forming glowing bow-wave-like
patterns towards the centre of the nebula. The knots in NGC 5189
are a reminder of just how vast the planetary nebula is. They might
look like mere details in this image, but each and every one is a
similar size to the entire Solar System. ■

It's Mayhem During January 16 "Clark After Dark: Renaissance Revelry"
For Immediate Release
January 05, 2009
Tudors rule the palace and ruffs are all the rage during "Clark After Dark: Renaissance Revelry" at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. This hip celebration of the British Renaissance (with a bit of mayhem thrown in thanks to Shakespeare and Company) will be held from 8 pm to midnight on Friday, January 16. Admission is $10 ($8 per member) at the door, and you must be 21+ to enter. Not sure what to wear? We'll provide the crowns and knightly shields.
Shakespeare and Company from nearby Lenox will be on hand to present demonstrations and short workshops on "the art of making mayhem" during which you can learn swordplay and stage fighting. And since no party is complete without dancing, they will also teach the pavane, a Renaissance line dance. "Shake"-speare your booty and heat up the dance floor to modern tunes provided by DJ Sound Choice.
With "Tudor" elixirs, beer, and wine at the cash bar, it will be a party fit for a king. Feast on complimentary Cornish pasties (beef, mushroom, and curried salmon), pigs in blankets, cheddar toasts, BBQ chicken wings and legs, and more. For dessert, don't miss the sherry trifle, gingerbread cookies, spiced apple tarts, and figgy pudding, of course. Complimentary soft drinks and mulled cider will be available.
The evening will also include visits to the Clark's print room. A "knightly" raffle will be held with prizes provided by Blue Q of Pittsfield, MA.
This series of hip happenings takes you around the world and transports you through time with music and dancing, out-of-the-ordinary activities, exotic snacks, and late-night encounters with art. Don't miss "Clark After Dark: Viva Flamenco!" on February 20 and "Clark After Dark: Planet Clark" on March 20.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Following a cup exit and in the middle of a relatively long build-up to a much-anticipated London derby, Giles Smith puts the week into perspective in his latest column….
Oops. There goes the Capital One Cup.
Pity, of course. This club has a long and proud history of treating the second oldest knock-out competition in English football, and the fourth priority of any side competing in Europe, with the seriousness and application it merits.
We have selected strong teams, competed hard, stayed in as long as possible and known glory in two recent finals (against Liverpool in 2005 and against Arsenal in 2007) and mild sorrow in another (2008).
Over that period, our commitment has been a shining example to other less historically alert clubs, who, unconcerned about giving their supporters value for money and cherishing the long-established traditions of the game, have routinely spoken of the competition as a chore and an irritant, and have sneeringly sent out sides consisting mostly of untried youth team players, the commercial marketing manager and the sister of one of the blokes who does the iron-on lettering in the megastore.
We all know who I mean here, so I don't need to state it. Arsenal and Manchester United.
Our selfless levels of engagement have also been a shining example to teams such as Bolton Wanderers (when they were under Sam Allardyce) and West Ham (who are now under Sam Allardyce), who have, at various times, taken it into their heads to field weakened sides in the League Cup, despite the fact that it was the only trophy they had even the faintest hope of winning, and certainly the only trophy they had the faintest hope of winning that would get them into Europe the following season. But then, I suppose there always will be people who don't recognise a gift horse even when it's standing on their chest and chewing their head off.
We, by contrast, have done nothing but admire and honour the League Cup in its modern incarnation, not least the way it's done and dusted by February, and therefore tidily out of the way for when the real business of the season starts. And, as a consequence, we and the League Cup have had a nice little thing going on. We have been kind to the competition and the competition has been generally kind to us, except the year we got dumped out by Charlton on pens.
Nevertheless, for all that, when push comes to shove, the unavoidable fact does remain that the Capital One is the fourth of our four priorities in any given year - or, to put it another way, the least of our concerns.
Accordingly, when we go up to Sunderland, play all the football, have 85 percent of the possession at one stage (fact), get within three minutes of a victory which no one would have thought was anything but entirely deserved, only to get caught by two, freak sucker punches in an outcome which would be unlikely to be repeated even if the game were replayed 40,000 times using a computer programme… well, call me ungrateful, but it would be unseemly to lose much in the way of sleep over it.
Sometimes you've just got to say 'oops' and move on - 'sometimes' specifically being when you go out of the Capital One Cup in the quarter finals.
On the subject of moving on, there was a moment during Sky Sports' commentary the other night which brought one up a bit short. The suggestion was that we would be 'desperate' to avoid the match going into extra time, on account of the fact that we have 'a huge match at the weekend.'
Well, no doubt, Arsenal away is a pretty big game, what with a position at the top of the league being potentially at stake during it and what with the additional fact that long years of history and various accumulated grievances means there is no such thing as a small or even a medium-sized game between Arsenal and Chelsea, and almost certainly never will be for as long as football is still played with a round ball on grass.
But the thing is, the Arsenal game is next Monday night. And the Sunderland game was on Tuesday. In other words, an entire week separates these encounters. Did the commentator really mean to imply that a half hour's extra exertion was going to have consequences for the energy levels of our players at the Emirates, six whole nights of sleep later?
We have conditioned ourselves these days to think of footballers' bodies as ultra-sensitive, highly delicate machines. Which, of course, they are. But not that ultra-sensitive, nor that highly delicate, surely, that a mere 30 extra minutes of trying to find a way through the heavily armed, concrete exclusion zone erected around the penalty area by Sunderland's eight-man defence would be likely to cause a strain that could still be felt a week later.
These are fit young men, after all. Come next Monday, when the coach pulls up at the back door of the Emirates and that stupid green dinosaur thing more than likely tries to shake hands with John Terry, the game against Sunderland will be ancient history as far as these players' leg muscles are concerned - and also, if they're sensible, as far as their minds are concerned. It was only the Capital One Cup, after all.
Not that there's anything wrong with the Capital One Cup.
According to Brad Friedel, the Tottenham goalkeeper, not one Spurs player wanted Andre Villas-Boas to go. No, and not one Chelsea fan, either, I'm sure. When the results are going your way and everything is so obviously clicking into place, the last thing you want to see is a club's board coming down from on high to meddle and mess everything up.
No question, Tottenham is a darker place without AVB at the helm. Unless, of course, Tim Sherwood can start pulling a few rabbits out of the hat - let's wait and see.
I may just be getting caught up in the emotion of the occasion here (and speaking when you're still flooded with sentiment is never wise), but I think I've felt even closer to AVB these past few weeks (from round about the time of the 0-3 defeat at home to West Ham) than I did when he was manager here.

This is my favorite salon in chattanooga. Always professional and they get my hair right every time. They are also more affordable than some of those downtown salons and when I call I actually get to speak to a friendly receptionist who books my appointment right away. It seems like most salons around here when you call your hair dresser you have to call or text your hair dresser and wait for them to call or text you back. --How unprofessional is that? Hair Benders truly is best of the best and they consistantly show how a professional business should operate.
Horrible experience here, and I went THREE TIMES before I made judgement. Hairdresser did not listen to what I wanted, put a few strands of color in my hair, chopped over 6 inches off, and sent me out the door. $200 later I got home and was shocked as to what just happened. They think they "rule" Chattanooga when it comes to salons so they have a very snobby "were the best don't question our work" attitude. I've been to THREE different stylists and they are all clueless. Don't go to MEGAN! She was a nice girl but I wouldn't trust a single strand of my hair with her. My color is chunky, has obvious lines in it forcing me to part my hair a certain way. My cut is nothing I couldn't get at a cheap salon. I'm going to Atlanta from now on to do my hair, If HBI is the "best in Chattanooga" then I guess I have to go out of state.
I have been to Hair Benders twice and I feel it is very important for me to share my experience. My first visit I saw Voula and we talked about what color would be best for me. She gave great input and advice. I really thought I was in for a treat because I had heard so many great things about Hair Benders. When Voula started my color she was very involved with everyone else in the room. After she worked on me for a little while another woman took over, then another, and then another. I thought it was odd that so many people were doing my color, but I just thought maybe she is overwhelmed and busy so I dismissed the concern. After the color, my hair was washed and trimmed and somewhat styled. On to my second visit... I decided to come back because I honestly did like the color I got. When I arrived I waited about forty minutes to be seen and when Voula was finally notified she had another client she just brushed me off and finally got to me. When I was finally seen, Voula started to color my hair. The same process started again. By the time my foils were completed, FIVE people had been working on my color. The whole time Voula would shout to whomever was available "Hey, come and help me." Perhaps I am wrong, but I do not think FIVE people should touch the same color, need I explain why.... After my hair was washed I sat in the chair for about fifteen minutes before Voula came back. When I asked for more layers and a different cut, she refused to cut it like I wanted. After a few snips of hair she disappeared once again. After she finally found someone to "dry and style" my hair I never saw again. The woman who attempted to style my hair smelled as if she came straight from a bar. After she attempted to style it, I was on my way. By the time my hair was finished I had EIGHT people that had been working on my hair. This is unacceptable. Even if a salon is busy eight RANDOM people should NEVER be working on the same person. I was so upset by my visit that I paid and hurried to my car. My color was adequate, my cut was nonexistent, and the service was awful. Needless to say I will not be returning to Hair Benders. I am not warning others to stay away because I have read raving reviews about them. However, I feel it was necessary to share my experience with others. If you enjoy a very busy atmosphere, experiencing many different people touching your hair like it is a team thing than this is the place for you! Might I add, I was personally insulted about the jewelry I was wearing too. Good luck!
The BLONDE Authority – I've been going to Hair Benders for over 5 years now. They get my BLONDE right every time. I am a heavy foil high blonde and I wear my hair medium length. They do this "in between touch up" every other time I visit so I don't have to do foils everytime I come in. This is great because the inbetween touch up is only $30. I have very thick hair - and they get my cut right every time too. I am so thankful for Jamie at Hair Benders. He is the best stylist ever!!!
THank you HBI for getting my BLONDE PERFECT everytime. -
Hair Benders – I've had some wonderful compliments about my nice haircut. I felt very comfortable and that my thoughts and feelings were taken into consideration. Excited to return.
The staff is always professional and friendly, the services and products outstanding. I look forward to my appointments and leave feeling refreshed. Hair Benders is my oasis!
My hair is a challenge for any stylist: fine, thin, white...not much to work with. I called and told the receptionist my dilemma. She recommended Shasta. THANK YOU for putting me onto the right stylist. I have been happy since and drive 90 minutes just for a hair cut from Shasta.
Absolutely Love Hairbenders! – I absolutely LOVE Hairbenders!!!! I have been going to Michael for haircuts for somewhere close to 10 years. Even though I have moved more than 60 miles away, there is nowhere I would rather spend a Saturday afternoon than with Michael at Hairbenders !!!!
I have been going to Hairbenders for a while now. I was willing to pay the price to have highly trained professionals working on my hair. However, I recently had a really bad experience and feel that I should share this experience. I am still in a bit of shock that I was at the salon for about 5 hours and left with the worst color I have ever had and the worst part "fried hair." I am used to it taking a long time to get my hair done and I never complain because I don't want to be difficult. However, I can't stop thinking about the fact that I paid close to $300.00 to get my hair done and then had to pay close to the same amount at a salon in Atlanta to have it fixed. Typically, I am pretty happy with my hair even though it takes forever. The stylist I went to is always extremely overbooked and considered one of the best there. She even told me that day that she was running behind and was doing 6 other clients. So this means, the assistant will be working on your hair most of the time. I thought well I guess she is used to being overbooked and she already has foils in my hair so the worst thing that will likely happen is that I will be here even longer than normal. I never would have thought I would leave there with fried hair. I wish she had called and said I'm really behind today, could we reschedule. Yeah, I may have been disappointed but at the same time it would have been worth rescheduling considering what happened. Plus she knows that I am easy going and would have been okay with waiting. I think this stylist is really good, but is so overbooked that her work is starting to show this. I know it's just hair, but I have really thick hair and have worked hard and spent a lot of money on keratin treatments to keep it healthy. Actually, I had the brazilian blowout on this day as well. I wouldn't be too upset if it was just the color because that can be corrected. But the only option for scorched hair is to cut it off. No amount of treatments will fix that. So now my shortest layer is almost eye level and I still have some fried areas. I could only cut so much off without looking like a peacock. I did go back in the next day after this happened and she put a few more highlights in my hair. I showed her the area where my hair was fried and she replied, "That's probably just where we didn't get it all the way dry, and then used the flat iron on it." Well at least she was honest, but I truly couldn't believe how nonchalant she was about the whole thing. An apology, at least, would have been nice. You would think she would have said something like, I'm sorry this happened and we will work on getting your hair back in good condition. Plus for someone that comes in and drops a minimum of $200.00 every 6 weeks, I would have offered them their money back. This would have made me feel more comfortable and kept me coming back. I would be mortified if I had literally burnt someone's hair. I was so devastated that I just left and couldn't really process what had just happened. I'm not a very confrontational person so I just left it alone. Plus I don't think it would have made a difference anyway considering the response I was given when I went back in. This isn't something I can lie about; I actually have visible evidence and showed the stylist this. My suggestion would be to ask for someone who doesn't take too many clients at once especially if you have a lot of hair that takes time. Lesson learned after spending a total of $600.00 in 3 weeks. I will be dealing with the results of what happened for a while until I can grow my hair out enough to cut the rest of the fried parts off. Plus, I am now going to be driving to Atlanta every 6 weeks to get my hair done because I really don't know where to go in Chattanooga.
Hairbenders – I was excited to have my hair done about a month ago at Hair benders in Chattanooga. This was a Christmas present from my husband. I've always heard great things about it, so I decided to bite the bullet and spend the outragious amount of money to get my hair long layered and dyed.
I pick a photo from a magazine and the stylist said it was very possible for me and it would look great! My hair had not been cut in 3 years and I told her I wanted to keep my length, so just take off about 2 inches. I made sure to tell her that about 3 times.
Well, long story short, when she was done, my hair was up to my shoulders and almost apple red! My hair was originally down to the middle of my back! And I liked it that way.
Needless to say, I spend almost $200 and hated the end result. It was a bad experience and it taught me a lesson that it doesn't matter how much you pay, they can still screw it up.

- Waiting Review by Lindsey
I just ordered this bag and I can not wait for it to arrive at my doorsteps! This bag looks absolutely beautiful. I have seen the north stop without the gold hardware and it was beautiful I can only imagine what the special edition looks like. I have called and spoke to several different stores even petunia reps regarding the material upkeep and style of the bag. They informed me this was a great selection compared to the boxy as it is bulky and the flap can become annoying when it comes to grabbing items out of your bag. The carryall looks classy and doesn't even look like a diaper bag which is a plus.
I will review the actual product when it arrives;)

Salaam. I know I have done sincere bad acts but I am trying to repent but always have severe depression thoughts. I was with someone for 6 years. I liked him because he was religious and was a good person. But then we commited zina and he was changing as a person throughout the years. He became abusive and stopped his prayers. I never knew why. He was as serious about us as I was And we always stressed about how we would get married for finance reasons. Then I find out he had a gambling addiciton and was smokking cannabis for 3 years. I felt so hurt and lost my happyness as he went to jail for something . When he admitted to everything I thought we will stick together n try and make us work. But we continued committing zina and then I was pregnant. I kno I committed a major sin and regret it, I had an abortion. After that I have become fully depressed and alone. I have never opened up to anyone about my problems because I was embarrassed. I did an abortion because I was too scared to hurt my parents. All I ever wanted was me and him married the right way but it turned out so bad. He left me after the abortion, because I killed our own n because im a bad person to do such a thing. Everyday I regret abortion. Im alone, trying to deal with all the bad things in my life. I never wanted to have a sexual relationship with someone before marriage. I got sucked into the worst things. Worse my emotions are all over the place. I could never trust another person after the bad in my life. What solution is there to this bad mess? Im at a age to marry, but he has his own problems and doesn't want to marry me for what I did. It's hurtful that I waa there for him after his hardship but he left me alone to deal with my mental issue.
Dear Sister, First of all I commend you for being brave and sharing with us. In this world we have countless people in trials and tribulation. Also in this modern day and age there are many people in the same situation as you have described and one mistake leads to another and leads us into depression and loneliness.
First of all sincerely ask forgiveness from Allah (SWT), pray your 5 times salat, make dua and remember Allah (SWT) every spare moment you have and read the Quran with understanding. There are many islamic websites and videos explaining how to deal with depression make use of those and surround yourself with people who have Islamic knowledge and strive to follow the right path. In this world we are all sinners, at some point we have committed one sin or the other, but just by you coming to this website and asking for guidance means you are preparing yourself to take the step in the right direction.
Remember this life is temporary and we are tested time and again. Only by following the right path will you find peace and comfort and solutions to your problems and Allah (SWT) knows best.

brother focus on Deen you will definitely get out of it but for medical point of view i recommend you to read the article http://alrazaak.com/threads/141-What-is-depression-Symptoms-and-Treatment
answered Jun 07 '13 at 13:33 saleemkhan 118●3
Dear Sister,
Assalamualaikum my dear sister you should realize that Allah is all-forgiving and the most-merciful. Turn to Allah with sincerity no doubt He will protect you. This world is full of trials and predicaments hold onto the Quran and the Sunnah and you will be successful in LIFE and THE HEREAFTER.
I believed that you are strong sister but without the help of God you are as feeble and frail as the branches of a dead tree. I adviced you to seek for God's forgiveness first. Be patient God will help you!! :)
I know its HARD to trust anybody in this days and I am not telling you to trust me either. However my dear sister you only need to TRUST ALLAH. After that the rest will be easy God will show you and direct you to trustworthy people. For the man that you had loved sister I am not even sure if you can still call him a muslim. He needs to realize that he is committing serious crimes against the rulings of Islam. To conclude, my dear sister you are not alone, Allah's compassion is greater than of a mother who had lost her child. May Allah forgive you and grant you success both in this life and the hereafter!

A restaurant in the Nigerian state of Anambra has been shut down after the authorities reportedly found it has been selling dishes made of human meat.
The police recovered at least two fresh human heads when they arrested 11 people from the restaurant including the owner, six women and four men, following a tip-off.
The blood-soaked heads were found wrapped in cellophane sheets.
Officials have also seized two AK-47 rifles, other weapons, dozens of rounds of ammunitions and several mobile phones during the raid.

Win-E-Mac Building Off 2012The Win-E-Mac football team is hoping to build off of its seven-win season in 2012.
By: Dan Corey, WDAZ
For Win-E-Mac head coach Jeremy Morgenroth, building a program hasn't come easily.
"We've had some pretty lean years, just try to build up to this year and build a program where one win, two wins isn't the goal. It's more and more and keep going."
The building has only begun. The Patriot program stretched its win column from three wins in 2011 to seven last fall.
Luke Syverson, Win-E-Mac senior lineman, "We have a lot of experience on the team and we just need to keep trying to get better and better."
The reason why expectations have been pushed so high is because the red, white, and blue return all but one starter to this year's team.
Recently, Win-E-Mac had a preseason practice with Sacred Heart, something that was a lost tradition, giving the Patriot players a chance to hit someone else.
Syverson, "Kind of fun going against someone else for practice."
Last season, the Eagles traveled for the practice. This season it's Win-E-Mac playing guest.
Jeremy Kasprzak, Win-E-Mac senior tight end, "They learned a lot from us and now it's our turn to come here and learn from them."
Running your plays against each other, you know your own plays, it's not that hard. Running your plays against someone else, it's going to be different. It's fun."

I would have hoped that I would not have to spell this out but...
The President of the United States is to be treated with respect and is NOT to have threats made against him/her. Period.
Anyone who does that is going to be banned and will never be allowed back on this board.
As I said, I would have hoped this didn't need to be said but one person has made this post necessary.

'My colleagues, as I listen to the debate today, I hear a lot of subterfuge and distractions, but the fact is that this is a discussion about
'That is why I am so proud of what has transpired since we took our first vote on this bill. That day I said we could establish ourselves as the children's Congress. And we did. The work remains to be done to bring that to fruition.
'But in the meantime across our country, Democrats and Republicans, governors and mayors, people who work with children or have a responsibility of delivering on our system of health care, have been advocating for this reauthorization of SCHIP that we have before us today.
'Our country has put poor children first. The poorest of the poor children in this country are able to receive health care through Medicaid. I wish you could have heard the stories of some of the parents told us. Bethany Wilkerson's parents were in the other day, and the press asked them if they were afraid if their family would come under attack because they were lobbying for SCHIP. 'We are already under attack, but we're proud to come forward to support this initiative,' they said. 'We're not proud of the fact that we are low-income. We're trying very hard to left ourselves up higher into the middle-class. We work very hard not to be on Medicaid, but to be among the working poor, it's not something we brag about, but SCHIP is something that we need.'
'So when the President wants to insure 4 or 5 million children instead of 10 million children in this initiative, is he the one, the decider, who wants to go that family and say, 'Your child is out?'
'But that does not include people earning $83,000 a year. So while some of you may use that as an excuse not to vote for this program, I hope you know intellectually that it is not a reason to vote against SCHIP. They are currently no children enrolled in SCHIP with family income of 400 percent of the federal poverty level, $83,000 for a family of four. In fact, 91.3 percent of the children enrolled in SCHIP are in families of four that make less than 200 percent of poverty. And 99.95 percent of them are in families under 300 percent of poverty.
'So this is a sad thing. We're asking people working hard, they're playing by the rules, and they're taking care of their families. They could have stayed out of work and stayed on Medicaid. But that's not what we're encouraging people to do in our country. We're encouraging them to move on and upward. And these families have to come forward and say why they have not attained the American dream of enough wealth to afford $1,200 a month in health insurance premiums and that's a big order.
'I'm so pleased, though, with the work that the groups have done. Easter Seals, the March of Dimes, the Red Cross, all the organizations, working with the governors and mayors. Now 81 percent of the American people support this initiative. And let me also say that there are some myths about SCHIP. I don't really think they're myths, I think they're excuses not to vote for the bill. I mentioned one of them. Another one is about illegal aliens. Clearly, the bill states no federal funding for illegal aliens. It is also the law of the land. Illegal aliens do not get benefits. So don't use that as an excuse to deprive 10 million children in our country who are eligible for enrollment in SCHIP that they shouldn't get it.
'This has been a bipartisan effort. And some of what has been said about this is simply not true. But don't take it from me. Senator Orrin Hatch, former chair of the Health Committee, in the Senate now, a ranking member said: 'I believe that some have given the President bad advice on this matter because I believe that supporting this bipartisan compromise to provide health coverage to low-income children is the morally right thing to do. If we were truly compassionate, it seems to me we'd endorse this program.' Senator Orrin Hatch, Republican of
Senator Charles Grassley, former chair of the Finance Committee, another committee of jurisdiction, now the ranking member said: 'The President's claims about SCHIP are flatly incorrect. The SCHIP bill is not a government takeover of health care. Screaming 'socialized medicine' during a health care debate is like shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater. It is intended to cause hysteria that diverts people from looking at the facts.' Senator Grassley, Republican of
'And so my colleagues, we have a decision today to override the President's veto, which would be in my view the right thing to do for our children and for our country. It's not about compassion, it's about fairness. And this is a bill that has been bipartisan in its development and required enormous sacrifice from the Democrats in the House of Representatives. We had a much higher goal. This is what is achievable for the children. It should have been signed by the President. There is no reason that he has given that is consistent with the facts. And so I urge my colleagues to think about the children, to think about Bethany and the other children.
'The President is isolated in this. Don't join him in his isolation. Come forward on behalf of the children and let's truly send a signal that we are about the future. I tried to do that when I was sworn in as Speaker surrounded by children. It was a spontaneous moment, but it was one that was clear in its message: we are gaveling this House to order on behalf of the children.
'There is nothing more important that we have to do in our work than make sure that our children are healthy and safe. Today, we have an opportunity to do that; let's not miss that opportunity. Let's give a vote for the children and against the President's veto.'

This exercise is a weighted calf raise, and this is one of the best exercises I've found for my calves! You can start without using weight, and you begin by stepping onto an elevated surface; although, not too elevated in case you lose your balance and need to quickly step off!
You want to position the balls of your feet on the elevated surface leaving your heels off the edge. Next you push yourself up with the balls of your feet like you're standing on your "tippy toes." At this point, your calves should be fully flexed and you finish the exercise by lowering yourself back down until your heels are about parallel to the surface you're standing on.
You can actually let your heel drop slightly below the surface. When you find your balance and are comfortable, try holding different amounts of weight as you go through your sets! Repeat this exercise for 12-15 reps for 3-4 sets and you'll be feeling the burn tomorrow!
BACK to the basics! I believe one of the best exercises you can do to really develop your back is the classic pull up. You want to begin by reaching up and placing your hands just wider than shoulder width apart on the bar with your palms facing outward.
Next slightly cross and bend your legs so that you're now hanging in the pull up position. Pull yourself upward until your chin is above the bar and then lower yourself back down to the hanging position. Repeat for 8-12 reps for 3-4 sets, and this is one of the best ways to really build up your back!
If you can't quite do a pull up yet, your gym should also have an "assisted pull up" machine where you can stand on an adjustable amount of weight to lighten the load so you can work on your form and build up to free hanging pull ups. Also if you can easily do 3 sets of 12 reps free hanging, your gym probably has a weight belt with a long chain. You can put this on and loop a 10, 25, or 45 lb weight onto your belt and do weighted pull ups. Experiment to find the right resistance for you, but as long as you're putting this exercise in your back routines, you'll start seeing big results!

You may think I have not added graphics card,actually because of limited budget I decided to wait for sometime than adding outdated one.Will add one soon.
Ram purchased from seller WS Retail
I have been using this brand from past more than 15 Years, from ECC SDRAM to till now. Previously this brand use to been seen in Server's only., and It was more costly than any other brand locally available. If I remember Only Hynix was in demand for local or end use purchaser. But trust me from Past 15 years Still date I have not got any failure or BlueDump with this ram.
In past 6 month I have almost purchased more than 30 Pieces of this Models. Also I Liked XMX Series if I need to have 1600MHz of demands. Waiting for Dominator Series from the same brand available on FK.
If you can trust.. Trust me., Its really the best brand than any other as compare with warranty period and failure ratio.
Definitely Kingstone Hyper-x Series gives much more performance than this, but not so solid as Corsair. Warranty is also only 5 Years of Kingstone.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Here's a rich, ripe, opulent Syrah, all jammy blackberry, cherry and currant flavors, sprinkled with black pepper and housed in a structure of firm, strong tannins. It's a blend of some of the best vineyards in the county, including Bien Nacido, Larner and Ampelos."
Cellar/Tasting Notes I wasn't able taste through a full lineup of Tensley's 2012, but what I was able to taste was certainly impressive. Overflowing with fruit and texture, the 2012 Syrah Colson Canyon has a stacked mid-palate, sweet tannin and a seamless, pure feel that I suspect will be hard to resist in its..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Syrah Cuvee Christine is striking. Dark blue/black fruits, grilled savory herbs, smoke, licorice, incense and mint form the backbone in the 2010. There are plenty of varietal notes in the glass, but at the same time, the style remains quite forward and fruit-driven. A juicy, forward..

New Year's Eve parties are ripe for all kinds of trendy, dressy stuff you wouldn't usually be up to sporting unless you know the world as we know it is ending the next day (and let's face it, December 21 was real lousy at convincing us to break all fashion norms). If we can't convince you to wear sequins prominently, why not try going for more subtle sequin locations… like your bags, maybe? They're still glam in our books, without necessarily looking like a disco ball of some sort. Zappos gets the look right with these dazzling sequined bag styles on the cheap.
At just under $50, these posh sequin bags really caught our eye! If this doesn't say "party girl" in all caps, we don't know what else will.

A skillshot is a type of champion ability that casts a projectile that originates from a point of cast, typically the casting champion, as opposed to directly targeting a unit. Circular area of effect abilities are not considered skillshots.
Types of skillshots
By targeting reticle
Among the skillshots in the game, the majority of them can be classified as either Linear or Conic. Linear skillshots fire in a straight line from the casting champion while Conic skillshots are attached to the champion itself, and hit enemies in front of the champion. Lesser distributed among champions are Vector and Curved skillshots. Vector skillshots are fired by clicking a point on the map and dragging the mouse cursor over a targeted area. Curved skillshots fire in a curved arc from the casting champion. Currently, Diana possesses the only curved skillshot in League of Legends while Viktor and Rumble are the only champions with a vector skillshot.
- Examples:
- Linear skillshots: Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab, Ezreal's Mystic Shot, Xerath's Arcanopulse
- Conic skillshots: Heimerdinger's Hextech Micro-Rockets, Kha'Zix's Evolved Spike Racks
- Vector skillshots: Rumble's The Equalizer, Viktor's Death Ray
- Curved skillshots: Diana's Crescent Strike
Other classifications
A skillshot may be considered a Colliding skillshot if it stops and affects only the first target in its path, a Pass-through skillshot if it continues on its trajectory regardless of the targets it passes through (Some colliding skillshots have secondary area of effects that occur once they hit a target.), or a Boomerang skillshot if when thrown it will go a distance and return back to the champion.
A Boomerang skillshot is a skillshot that when fired it goes out a certain distance and comes back dealing damage again. An exception to this rule is Draven's Whirling Death because once it hits an enemy champion Draven's Whirling Death will go a bit farther and return to Draven dealing damage to all enemies on its way back. All current Boomerang skillshots all reset their damage on their way back, for instance Sivir's Boomerang Blade will deal 10% less damage to each taget it hits after the first enemy it hits on its way out to a cap of 40% less damage. After it rebounds it resets its damage and comes back. For example an enemy behind 5 minions will take 40% reduced damage from Sivir's Boomerang Blade however when it comes back around they will take full damage. If an enemy stands at full range of the Boomerang skillshot's range they will take damage from it coming out and returning.
- Examples
- Colliding skillshots: Ashe's Volley, Dr. Mundo's Infected Cleaver
- Pass-through skillshots: Graves's Buckshot, Lulu's Glitterlance
- Boomerang skillshot: Ahri's Orb of Deception, Sivir's Boomerang Blade, Draven's Whirling Death,

When 26-year-old Andrew Oberle, of San Antonio, began volunteering at the Jane Goodall Institute in South Africa, he knew the risks of working with chimpanzees.
But even animal experts say what came after -- a vicious attack on the University of Texas-San Antonio student -- was uncommon.
Grabbed under a secure fence and dragged nearly a half-mile and then mauled, Oberle has now undergone six hours of surgery and remains in a medically-induced coma.
His parents have flown to the Johannesburg hospital where he is expected to recover, albeit with permanent injuries.
Oberle also volunteered at the San Antonio Zoo for years and was beloved by the staff there for his devotion to animals.
Zoo Director Steve McCusker says, "I was surprised. It shouldn't have happened. And maybe there were some extenuating circumstances that I'll never know anything about, but it's a shame that it happened."
McCusker also notes that chimpanzees are not part of the zoo in San Antonio, in large part to the financial burden houses them presents.
He says because of their strength and volatility, they are difficult keepers.
"They are incredibly strong. They are (as much as) nine times stronger than we are. They just need to have room. They need to have separation space," he said.
Those are all things that existed at the Jane Goodall Institute, making Oberle's attack further distressing to friends and family.
They have set up a Facebook page to help pay for his medical bills.

City Staff Still Looking for More Cost-Effective Plan
MONTROSE — The Montrose City Council is on the brink of signing an emergency contract with a local trucking company to haul the city's weekly recycling material to Colorado Springs, while city staff members hash out a more cost-effective plan for the future.
Last December, the operator of the San Miguel Area Resource-Recovery Transfer Station (SMARTS) and the city agreed that transferring municipal recycling material to a Colorado Springs facility was more cost-effective than using TS Landfill Corporation's Broad Canyon dump between Naturita and Nucla.
However, in early April of this year, that changed when the SMARTS facility began re-grading areas of its property for better drainage, and to control moisture accumulation, according to SMARTS Executive Director Jonathan Greenspan.
Greenspan said the improvements were voluntary, following a January state inspection of the facility's grounds.
"I had to remove storage containers to dry out the yard. We're presently re-doing earth work," Greenspan said.
Since the improvements began, the city stopped making biweekly deliveries to SMARTS. Neither party has contacted the other.
Instead, the city is likely to draft a contract with S&S Trucking, a Montrose company, to make weekly deliveries of recyclables to the Bestway facility in Colorado Springs.
The contract is for a period of six months. Meanwhile, the city will continue to search for other options, which could include reconsidering its contract with SMARTS, according to Montrose Public Works Director John Harris.
Harris said staff members will handle the process internally, but said the city needs a "dependable source" to deliver on its recycling commitments.
Greenspan and Harris both agreed that transferring recyclables by truck to the Front Range – and, in the process, burning thousands of gallons of diesel fuel – is not the most cost-effective way to manage the recycling program.
"We recognize that trucking is not the best way … this is mostly emergency transportation," Harris said.
Harris said Cornerstone trucking was handling the city's deliveries to SMARTS, but that S&S Trucking is more capable of delivering to Colorado Springs. He said new negotiations could reduce trucking rates to what the city was previously paying – or even below that.
The city had planned to handle about 100 yards of recycling material per week, but instead is managing nearly twice that much: "We're seeing about double of what we thought we would see," Harris said.
A year ago, the city canceled its curbside recycling program, citing rising costs. Late last year, to save even more money, the city stopped disposing of recycled material.
