God has a wondrous manner with His chosen people and Prophets. While they prefer anonymity and choose to spend their time privately in His worship, He commands them to emerge in front of the world. The most perfect example of this was the Holy Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) who would spend days on end worshipping God in the solitude of the cave Hira. He was indifferent to worldly matters although he consummately undertook his household responsibilities. The quintessential element in his life was love of God and His worship. When God commanded him to come out of the Hira cave and summon people to the One God, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was a supremely excellent model of calling to God. Although he was badly persecuted for taking his message to people, such was his compassion for Gods creation that he continued to focus on this task. Each day his message would spread further afield and more and more people started accepting it. Indeed, it was during his lifetime that the message of Islam had spread outside Arabia. Later, Islam reached Asia, Africa and Europe. In accordance with his prophecy and the decree of God the spiritual state of the Muslims hit an extremely low point and they lost governance in come countries. However, just as God had promised that this perfect religion was to revive, it revived through the true and ardent devotee of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
God sent Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (on whom be peace) for the propagation of His last religion as the Messiah and the Mahdi in perfect subordination of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) as a non-law bearing Prophet. From his early life till the end we see great love for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) in the life of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). He was not interested in the world and was only keen about worship of God and invoking salutations and blessings on his master, the Prophet of Islam. It was a consequence of his deep love of God and the Prophet that he would be perturbed about the dire straits the Muslims were in. He would supplicate God with profound humility and compassion on their behalf. Again, by virtue of his passion to establish the Unity of God and out of his love of the Prophet that he studied the Holy Quran in-depth as well as made comparative studies of other religions. He presented many masterful comparisons to prove the superiority of Islam over other religions.
God, the Knower of the Unseen was fully aware of the Promised Messiahs (on whom be peace) earnest compassion for the religion of Islam, so He commanded him to come out from hiding. He commanded him not to simply try and better the terrible situation of the Muslims within his own sphere, not just try and solve the problem with his writings, rather declare that he indeed was the awaited and the promised Messiah and that God had revealed this to him. This created such a hostile situation in Qadian that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) contemplated migration. His few followers were most eager to help him with this and also took on the responsibility to protect him but the situation did not get to this. Earlier, when the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was writing his magnum opus Braheen e Ahmadiyya God had consoled him that the circumstances will be in his favour. He has penned this in his book Siraj e Munir:
I shall raise you towards Me and I shall grant you love from Me. That is, after people will show enmity and rancour they will be reciprocated with love just as it is from among the Signs of the Promised Mahdi. Give good news to those who have believed that they have a standing of truth with their Lord. Recite to them that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Be not arrogant towards Allah's creatures and be not tired of receiving visitors. This was followed by the revelation: Extend thy house. This means clearly that the day is coming when the number of visitors will multiply so much that it would be difficult to meet everyone and I was warned that I should not then be annoyed nor tired of meeting them. Holy is Allah, how grand is this prophecy which was conveyed to me seventeen years ago when only two or three people came to visit me and that also infrequently. What a wonderful proof this is of God's knowledge of that which is hidden. (Part of translation taken from Tadhkirah pp. 77 and 791).
Huzur said a few years prior to this the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) did not have much in the way of worldly belongings and his living expenses were met by his father. His father would advise him to find means of livelihood to support his future family but the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) always respectfully replied that he was in the service of the Judge best among all judges. His father would not say anything in response; he had no idea that God had Himself taken the responsibility of the Promised Messiah. That let alone have a livelihood to support a family, a time would come when thousands of people would eat from his table. When God informed the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) of the imminence of his fathers death, he felt concerned about his future finances. However, God immediately sent the revelation of Is Allah not sufficient for His servant? (39:37) to him which dispelled any and every concern from his heart. After his fathers passing away God gave honour and renown to the Promised Messiah among tens of thousands and for one who had no financial influence during the lifetime of his father, he received incredible Divine help afterwards. Not only was he provided handsomely but also after commanding him to Extend your house God Himself facilitated arrangements at every opportunity. This revelation came to him many times and each time the glory of its expansion grew.
The first time the revelation came was before his Messianic claim when he had nothing in worldly terms. However, it was Gods commandment and it had to be fulfilled. He realised that he did not have the means to extend the house, so he decided to have a few thatched huts erected next to his house. Huzur said three thatched huts were built which stayed for several years. It was the Promised Messiahs (on whom be peace) firm belief that God had sent him a revelation, so He would also provide help. However, it was also essential for him to put the commandment in practice promptly according to his means.
In 1907 God revealed to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace): There is good news for you in this life. Good and help and victory, God willing. We have relieved thee of thy burden, which had well-nigh broken thy back and have exalted thy name. I am with you. I have remembered you, then do you remember Me. Extend your house. The time is near when you will be helped and your name will be exalted among people. I am with you, O Ibrahim. I am with you and the members of your family. And you and the members of your family are with Me. I am the Most Gracious One, then wait. Tell him (your enemy): Allah will seize you. I shall lengthen thy days. (Translation taken from Tadhkirah pp. 878-879)
Huzur said the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was given the revelation of Extend your house a year before his passing away and we observe the truth of this revelation to this day. Whence the time when only thatched huts could be erected to fulfil Gods commandment and then within his lifetime he witnessed the buildings of the Community properly extended. In the era of the first and the second Khilafat there were further constructions. After the partition of India the situation in Qadian declined a little but the Community held onto the buildings. After the 1991 visit of Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV (may Allah have mercy on him) to Qadian, a new period of Extend your house began. Private houses and buildings of the Community were built on a large scale. Then, after Huzurs trip to Qadian in 2005 in addition to buildings of the Community many worldwide Jamaats built their guest houses in Qadian. Now a beautiful MTA building has been built, as well as an exhibition hall and a library. The Fazl e Umer Press has been extended, a Lajna building is constructed and the Langer Khana has had an extension built. Similarly there are several other new constructions, Masjid Aqsa has also been extended and now has the capacity for 5000 worshippers. Huzur said all these constructions have taken place in the past three to four years. In addition to Qadian, despite the averse situation in Pakistan God is enabling us to fulfil the revelation of Extend your house.
Huzur said the sound that arose from Qadian has today, with Gods help, spread all over the world and we witness a global fulfilment of Extend your house. Huzur said the mosque Baitul Futuh, from where Huzur delivered his Sermon is also part of that fulfilment. Before, it was just the rather small Masjid Fazl [in London] and now everyone is accommodated in the large building of Baitul Futuh. Similarly, other mosques are being built in the UK which are also a realisation of Extend your house. Today our Community has worldwide mosques and mission houses in excess of 14000. The number seems immense but as it was a Divine commandment to Extend your house, God Himself facilitated the arrangements.
Relating some extraordinary incidences of the constructions of mosques Huzur said in district Kangra, India, the Muslims raised huge objections to the building of our mosque, later the Hindus also joined them. The police officer in-charge, also a Hindu, was a decent person who advised the Ahamdis to build the mosque by night to avoid any confrontation. He also sent his men to help. This is how, with the help of a non-Muslim, our mosque was completed. In Haryana district of India, again the Muslims and Hindus jointly opposed the construction of our mosque. The local Khuddam held a Jalsa and donated blood which was well-received by the Hindus and they helped in building of a mosque and a mission house. In Chennai, India, a two-story mosque with residential quarters has been built at great cost. Huzur said he had inaugurated it during his visit to India in December 08. Since then the local mullah has been somewhat flabbergasted. Huzur said the incident that he related last week about an Ahmadi ladys body exhumed is also part of the mullahs bewilderment. However, God has opened avenues for Tabligh through this incidence and a large number of the locals are being supportive. A local TV channel has recorded a discussion programme and InshaAllah when it is aired further Tabligh opportunities will arise. Huzur said in Benin, West Africa, again the mullah has been rather belligerent since Huzurs last visit. When the construction of our mosque began in a village there, some opponents gathered to intimidate the new converts to Ahmadiyyat. They offered them money etc. but the new Ahmadis stayed resolute. A Nigerian university professor saw the inauguration of our mosque in Paris, France and remarked that if the name of Islam is being raised in this way from the UK and France, it will also one day be raised from Jerusalem.
Huzur said the revelation of Extend your house is now a Sign of the truthfulness of the Community all over the world. It increases our responsibility to be true servants of God and be worthy of the other revelation of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace); And you are with Me just as your family is. Huzur said in order to be worthy of being his family we have to establish the practices he set for us otherwise despite the blood relation the son of Hadhrat Nuh (on whom be peace) was not deemed to be his family by God. May God enable us to continually turn to Him.
Next, on the request of the Ameer sahib of Kababir, Huzur addressed the Jalsa Salana of Kababir, which commenced today. Huzur said his brief message was that as the discourse was on Extend your house, our mosque in Kababir is most beautiful and a great tourist attraction. During the Khilafat Centenary year the Kababir Jamaat wished to have a hall constructed in an adjoining yard. Huzur gave them the permission to proceed however, they made rather extensive plans. It is only with the grace of God that miraculously their plan has nearly reached the completion stage. Huzur said we should always be mindful that with each grace of God we are that much more grateful and further turn to Him. Huzur said MTA Al Arabiyya has increased the Tabligh opportunities immensely and the Kababir Jamaat has a big role in this. Other Arab Jamaats are also participating, may God reward them. Huzur said each Ahmadi should be mindful that these efforts are not due to anyones personal capacity rather they are due to the grace of God and the due to the promises made to the Messiah and the prayers of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) for the Mahdi of the latter days. All the Ahmadis who have accepted the Imam of the age, all the Arab Ahmadis who have not let their ethnicity be a source of pride and have declared, we hear and we obey (2:286), should remember that each new day should bring advancement in taqwa (righteousness) and faith and also remember the words of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) that we saw the day through in fear [of God] and spent the night with taqwa.
Huzur said the Ahmadis of Kababir should return from the Jalsa and indeed spend the days of the Jalsa determined that they are going to make the pure/pious changes they will assume during Jalsa a part of their daily lives. Be mindful that our progress is dependant on Tabligh and prayer. Make prayers a part of your life and pray with absolute sincerity. Such prayers will bring about a revolutionary change in the heavens. The age of the Mahdi is an age of prayers. God has made Arabs great orators, if they utilise this skill with piety they will witness Gods grace. Today it is our responsibility to show the source of real salvation to the Christians and the right path to the Jews and to show people of other religions the ways to Gods pleasure as well as to those who do not believe in a Creator.
Addressing the Jalsa Huzur said today the Ahmadis of Kababir and Palestine were the most organised community in the Arab world, they should rise to the challenge of taking the message to the rest of the Arabs that today the salvation of a Muslim is only in accepting the Imam of the age. Huzur prayed for all those attending the Jalsa.
Next Huzur announced that he would be leading two funeral Prayers in absentia after the Friday Prayers for Choudhry Fazl Ahmad sahib and Dr. Ataul Rahman sahib, both from Pakistan.
The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari)
"O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew." more
"… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next" (Bukhari)

text: Your insurer may calculate the cost of rebuilding your home at much lower price than it would fetch on the market. Here's why. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor April 7, 2008 My insurance company estimates the cost to rebuild my home at way below the market value, even in light of the drop in housing prices. I live in a reasonably small house that was probably worth a bit over $600,000 at market peak and maybe $550,000 now. My insurance company says that I only need $454,000 in coverage. Can the insurance value really be that much less than the market value? I feel queasy about it.Your situation isn't unusual. A home's market value and its insurance value are two totally different numbers. Your homeowners insurance pays to rebuild your home, and you'll still own the land even if the building is destroyed. Sponsored Content If you live in an area with valuable land, it can cost a lot less to rebuild than to buy the house. That's my situation: I live in a row house just down the street from the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and the location of my little plot of land adds a lot to the home's value. My insurer calculated my rebuilding cost to be much less than the market value, but I bought an endorsement that adds up to 25% over the insured amount if the rebuilding costs end up being higher than expected. The endorsement only cost me about $160, which is about the same amount as the money I saved by boosting my deductible from $500 to $1,000. Advertisement The opposite situation can be true, too. If you live in an area where land is cheap or the housing market has tanked, it could actually cost more to rebuild your house than buy it, especially if your home has a lot of special features, high-end materials and expensive architectural details. It's also important to let your insurer know if you've added an addition or made major upgrades, which can boost the rebuilding costs significantly. If you've done major home improvements, the insurance amount you originally calculated may no longer be enough. You can estimate the rebuilding cost on your own at AccuCoverage.com, which is run by the company that provides rebuilding-price estimates to the insurance industry. Pay $7.95 and type in details about your house, age, materials and special features, and you're immediately given an estimate of the insurance value. I did that for my house, and the number was similar to the one that my insurance company had given me. If the numbers are quite different, it might be worthwhile to get an appraisal from a local builder or appraiser. Some insurers, such as Chubb, send an appraiser to look at the home every few years. (Chubb and Fireman's Fund are two of the few companies that still pay for the full replacement cost of your home, regardless of your insurance amount.) For more information about homeowners insurance, see Keeping a Lid on Home Premiums. Got a question? Ask Kim at email@example.com.

RTC Conference Primers: #23 – Southland ConferencePosted by Brian Goodman on October 12th, 2010
Russell Burnett is the RTC correspondent for the Southland Conference.
Predicted Order of Finish
East Division
- Southeastern Louisiana (13-3)
- Nicholls State (10-6)
- Lamar (9-7)
- Northwestern State (6-10)
- McNeese State (5-11)
- Central Arkansas (3-13)
West Division
- Stephen F. Austin (13-3)
- Sam Houston State (12-4)
- Texas State (9-7)
- A&M-Corpus Christi (6-10)
- Texas-Arlington (3-13)
All-Conference Team (key stats from last season in parentheses)
- Anatoly Bose (F) – Nicholls State (21.1 ppg, 86 three-pointers made)
- Gilberto Clavell (F) – Sam Houston (17.1 ppg, 6.4 rpg)
- A.J. Stewart (C) – Texas State (5.7 PPG in 2008-09 for Kentucky)
- Anthony Miles (G) – Lamar (14 ppg, 3.0 apg)
- Devin Gibson (G) – UT-San Antonio (12.5 ppg, 4.4 apg)
Sixth Man
- Cameron Johnson (F) – Texas State (14.6 ppg, 7.9 rpg)
Impact Newcomer
- A.J. Stewart (F) – Texas State pulled in several transfers, but none bigger than the 6'9 Kentucky transfer. Having played in 29 games for the Wildcats as a sophomore, Stewart could have a big impact in a league not known for fielding a plethora of big men. Stewart led Arlington Country Day (Fla.) High School to three straight state championships.
What You Need to Know
- The Southland is a two-division league and made a change during the offseason. Stephen F. Austin moved from the East Division to the West and Lamar jumped from the West to the East.
- The Merrell Center in Katy is the site of the 2011 Southland Conference Basketball Tournament. This is the third straight year the tournament has been played at a neutral site.
- The five-year transition process for Central Arkansas' athletic department is over. The school has now gained Division I active membership and will be eligible for postseason play in the Southland Conference and at the national level.
- There was a shake-up on the coaching front of a couple of teams in the offseason. Central Arkansas hired former Razorback great Corliss Williamson as its head coach, while Sam Houston State promoted assistant Jason Hooten after longtime coach Bob Marlin took over the helm at Louisiana-Lafayette.
Predicted Champion
Stephen F. Austin (NCAA seed: #15). The Lumberjacks were beaten in the tournament championship game by rival Sam Houston State last year. Head Coach Danny Kaspar always has his team in contention and this year his team-oriented style of play could reap benefits as the conference is void of any big-time NBA caliber talent. It could be a toss-up with Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston, but both teams should come out of the West bloodied, but not beaten.

A child in Oklahoma who insists humans existed alongside dinosaurs can still get an A on a science test under a newly introduced bill. Creationism is allowed to be taught as fact in Tennessee schools, and Missouri is still trying to pass a bill.
In Kansas, a bill has been introduced allowing teachers to refute climate science.
A legislator in Missouri has sponsored a bill to make it a felony for anyone to propose any new gun safety legislation.
A legislator in Alabama, a woman, has called the fetus "the largest organ in the body." Uh, that would be the skin, honey.
In New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg denies that any homeless people are sleeping on the streets.
This doesn't even include the petty, vindictive bills and laws that would deny millions of people access to health care through Medicaid expansions or reduce Social Security or Medicare benefits, slash taxes on the rich while increasing them on the working class, slash unemployment benefits for people whose jobs are shipped overseas …
I'm just talking stupid here, not immorality.
I thought we had reached the depths of stupid when Senate candidate Todd Akin from Missouri insisted that in a "real" rape a woman could just "shut that whole thing down" and avoid pregnancy.
It seems we're still descending, though. Denying scientific fact has become the fashionable thing for the Right to do. It doesn't matter what kind of proof there is, science is wrong and they feel disrespected when you tell their their religious belief might be metaphor and not fact.
We have come to the point where claims of religious freedom are allowed to trump science in schools and in legislatures. Where does it stop?
Your religion is called faith, and the definition of faith is a belief in something you can't see or touch or even prove. I understand faith because I'm a Christian.
But I also believe in science, and the two exist nicely side-by-side. The creation story is metaphor. God has no sense of time, so each "day" is an era in the evolution of life. See? It fits, unless you insist God didn't inspire the Bible but wrote it.
"Well, evolution is just a theory," they say.
So is gravity. Get over it.
As for the fetus as organ thing and the magical lady parts, I just don't know what to say except that when someone says something that stupid no one should ever vote for them again.

Ben Roethlisberger's 4 TDs lead Steelers past Lions
Pittsburgh 37, Detroit 27
The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't quite ready to say they're in the playoff hunt.
They're also not quite ready to say they're out of it either.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for 367 yards and four touchdowns in a 37-27 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, including two in the final 5 minutes as the Steelers (4-6) rallied to win their second straight and keep the unlikely notion of a run at a postseason berth alive.
At least for another week.
"We've got to keep this thing going," wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said. "Our margin for error is nonexistent right now. We feel good about this team and we're going to keep grinding."
Steelers report card: Hand out your grades
Photos: 'Sons of Anarchy' star leads Terrible Towel Twirl
Photos: Steelers victorious in 'bumblebee' throwbacks
So do the Lions (6-4), who played brilliantly for 15 minutes and befuddled for the other 45 to fall back into a tie with Chicago for first-place in the NFC North. Matthew Stafford threw for 362 yards and two touchdowns to Calvin Johnson but struggled in the second half as Detroit struggled late.
Stafford completed just 3 of 16 passes in the second half, none of them to Johnson.
"I missed some guys," Stafford said. "We had drops. We had miscues. We had all sorts of stuff that we can't do on the road against a good team."
Even if the Steelers have hardly resembled one for long stretches of this unpredictable season.
Five things we learned as Pittsburgh took another tentative step toward digging out of a massive hole while the Lions fell flat.
ROETHLISBERGER KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING: The Steelers opted to use an up-tempo, no-huddle offense to keep the Lions from substituting frequently. The plan included giving Roethlisberger the freedom to call the plays. Pittsburgh responded by posting its highest point total in more than two years behind a quarterback who insists he's not nearly ready to give up.
"We are out to play every game like it is the most important," Roethlisberger said. I told you guys awhile ago that I wasn't going to quit. There was no quit in me or from anyone on the team today."
JIM SCHWARTZ LIKES TO GAMBLE: Up four points in the fourth quarter, the Lions could have attempted a short field goal to pad their lead. Instead, coach Jim Schwartz called for a fake. Rookie punter Sam Martin, who also serves as the holder, tried to gain the 5 yards he needed by rushing over the right side. He fumbled after getting hit by Steelers nose tackle Steve McLendon and Pittsburgh took over.
Looking back, Schwartz doesn't think he made a mistake.
"I don't regret anything that happens in the game," Schwartz said. "We're going to do our very best to win the football game. We didn't make enough plays to win this one, including that one."
PITTSBURGH'S DEFENSE LIVES: The Lions posted the highest second-quarter total in team history when they scored 27 points. Stafford hit Johnson for touchdowns of 79 and 19 yards and did it with ease. Yet a late stand forced Detroit to settle for a field goal at the end of the first half and set the tone for a second half in which the Lions could muster little.
"We knew they'd make plays and get yards," Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark said. "We just wanted to make plays and stop them when it counted and we were able to do that."
ANTONIO BROWN MIGHT BE MINI-TRON: Johnson might be the best wide receiver in the NFL, but Brown is having the best season of any receiver in the league. He finished with seven receptions for 147 yards and two scores, including a crucial third-down grab that kick-started the game-winning touchdown drive.
"We knew run after the catch was going to be key to this game," Brown said. "We knew their pass rush was going to try and heat us up."
Brown's 74 receptions are a career high and lead the league.
STAFFORD IS A RECORD HOLDER: Stafford's lights out second quarter allowed him to climb a major rung in the Lions' record book. He surpassed Hall of Famer Bobby Layne as the team's all-time leading passer and has 16,005 yards passing in his career, more than Layne's total of 15,711. Stafford's touchdown pass to Johnson was also the 100th of his career.
The former No. 1 overall pick only needed 55 games to reach the milestone, the fourth-fastest quarterback to do that in league history.

Peacock trashes liquor store in Los Angeles, causes $500 in damage
A female peacock made her way into a Los Angeles-area liquor store Monday and caused $500 in damage, according to the store manager.
The peahen walked through an open door at Royal Oaks Liquor Store in Arcadia, Calif., and made herself at home in the liquor store, AP reported.
Store manager Rani Ghanem, whose parents own the store, told AP he didn't realize the peahen was in the liquor store until a customer asked him about the bird.
Ghanem tried to get the bird out of the store, but was unsuccessful and called the 911.
In video taken by Ghanem, an animal control officer tries to catch the bird, who escapes each attempt.
"He was trying to get it with the fishing net, and [the bird] jumped on the first wine bottle. When that happened, I was like, 'Aw, this is about to be a big mess,' " Ghanem told AP. "He tried to get it again with the net ... It just went straight diving into all the bottles. The more he kept on trying to use the net, the more it kept on flapping its wings and knocking everything over."
Ghanem said he ultimately helped the officer catch the peahen and they took the bird outside.
While a peacock in a liquor store may seem strange, peacocks are common in the area, where they were introduced by the city's founder in the early 1900s, according to AP.
The birds are protected in the area.
Ghanem told AP that the bird caused $500 of damage in 90 minutes.
"Yeah, he's got expensive taste," Ghanem told AP. "I'm like, 'You break, you buy, dude.' But clearly he didn't. He got away with it."

"Astonishingly powerful. . . . Ms. Mathis gives us a haunting—and, yes, hopeful—glimpse of the possibility of redemption and the resilience of the human spirit." —The New York Times
"A remarkable page-turner of a novel . . . spans decades and covers dreams lost, found and denied." —Chicago Tribune
"Enthralling. . . . One remarkably resilient woman is placed against the hopes and struggles of millions of African Americans who held this nation to its promise." —The Washington Post
"Captivate[s] from the first pages. . . . As certainly as August Wilson did in the plays of his twentieth-century cycle, Mathis is chronicling our nation." —The Boston Globe
"Raw and intimate. . . . Gracefully told. . . . Deeply felt. . . . Compelling." —The New York Times Book Review
"The opening pages of Ayana's debut took my breath away. I can't remember when I read anything that moved me in quite this way, besides the work of Toni Morrison." —Oprah Winfrey
"A triumph. . . . Magnificently structured, and a sentence-by-sentence treasure—lyric, direct, and true." —Salon
"A dazzling debut, rich in language and psychological insight. . . . Mathis's characters are those rarest of fictional creations: real living, breathing people." —Huffington Post
"An intimate, often lyrical daisy-chain of stories. . . . We feel the exhilaration of starting over, the basic human need to belong, and the inexorable pull back to a place that, for better and worse, you call home." —Vogue
"Like Toni Morrison, the author has a gift for showing just how heavily history weighs on families." —Entertainment Weekly
"Stunningly good. . . . Blazes fearlessly into the darkness of divided spirits and hungry hearts." —The Seattle Times
"Accomplished storytelling. . . . This brutal, illuminating version of the twentieth century African-American experience belongs alongside those of Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and Zora Neale Hurston." —Newsday
"Hypnotic. . . . In this evocative, ambitious novel, the tragedy is biblical, the reckoning stretches over generations, and a gravitas is granted to otherwise-invisible women and men." —The Plain Dealer
"Beautifully imagined and elegantly written. . . . Ayana Mathis is a hugely talented writer who has authored a wise and ambitious first novel." —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Visceral, heart-wrenching. . . . An exceptional first novel." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Written with elegance and remarkable poise. . . . [A novel] as much about our need for joy as it is about our struggles against bitterness." —The Guardian (London)
"Astonishing. . . . Sounds a depth charge into a character's life, a charge so powerful we forget we're reading, we forget the long history of African-Americans in the twentieth century has already been told. We are simply with someone, on a journey, that began long ago and has one determined, sometimes deranged source. Her name is Hattie Shepherd and it's a name you'll hear a lot of in years to come." —The Toronto Star
"Glistens with a quiet, hopeful beauty. . . . This book is a powerful ode to romantic and familial love." —National Post
"Tough, truthful, wonderfully controlled writing. . . . This fresh, powerful first novel turns the lives of Hattie's children into an epic of America in the twentieth century." —The Times (London)
"An impressive debut: tender, tough and unflinching." —Daily Mail
"Vibrant and compassionate. . . . The characters are full of life, mingled thing that it is, and dignified by the writer's judicious tenderness towards them. This first novel is a work of rare maturity." —Marilynne Robinson
"Beautiful and necessary from the very first sentence. The human lives it renders are on every page lowdown and glorious, fallen and redeemed, and all at the same time. They would be too heartbreaking to follow, in fact, were they not observed in such a generous and artful spirit of hope, in a spirit of mercy, in the spirit of love." —Paul Harding
"Remarkable. . . .Mathis weaves this story with confidence, proving herself a gifted and powerful writer." —Publishers Weekly (starred)
"An excellent debut. . . . Appealingly earthbound and plainspoken, and the book's structure is ingenious." —Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"Stunning. . . . Mathis writes with blazing insight into the complexities of sexuality, marriage, family relationships, backbone, fraudulence, and racism in a molten novel of lives racked with suffering yet suffused with beauty." —Booklist (starred)

The following message is from Ann Wells, Director of the 2010 ISBGFH British Institute via APG:
Time goes by so quickly and it is hard to believe that the British Institute (BI), an educational opportunity through the International Society for British Genealogy and Family History (ISBGFH), is celebrating ten years!
Over the past ten years, we've had a number of excellent instructors and this year is certainly no exception. Instructors this year will be Barbara Baker, AG; David Rencher, AG, CG, FIGRS, FUGA and Darris Williams, AG.
This year's BI will be held in Salt Lake City from Monday, 4 October through Friday, 8 October 2010 with Barbara Baker teaching Pre-1800 Scottish Research. This class will help you find those pre 1800 records and will also explore lesser known records in an attempt to help you break down your brick walls.
David Rencher will be leading the course Making the Transition from Irish Church Records to Irish Land Records. This course will help you to glean the most from the available church records and use the clues found there to identify the lands of your ancestors.
Strategies for Discovering Welsh Ancestors will be taught by Darris Williams. This course will highlight methods for solving research questions that make Welsh family history difficult.
Please note that all classes are intended to be small, so space is limited.
Early registration ends 1 July. For more information about the courses or the instructors, see the society's Website http://www.isbgfh.org

Drop me an email. [email protected]
Steve, send me an email to BMWHotshoe at aol dot com
Hey Steve,
... So, if I read your last post about the finish of the CCP race correctly. The results are going to be amended? Hopefully back to what Ron Gentry told everyone at impound.
.... Do we need to proceed with our appeal? Or is there any need for us to take any action at all?
LMK........ Rick
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the response earlier. I have a few questions if you have a moment. As I stated in a post earlier I have a 88 Rx7 shell with a 89-91 street port 13B engine. I think we are going to run the car in SCCA's STU and NASA's Performance Touring and we are going to use the 88 computer and injectors for now. My question is what is the disadvantages to that? The oil metering pump is mechanical on the earlier car isn't it? Could we just swap it out and use the mechnical one or no? Also, we are looking at using a aftermarket piggy back computer like emanage to control fuel and I was wondering if we go this route would we still be a little short on fuel and if so do we need to change to bigger injectors?? Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated.
Sean Sweeney
Hope that you got my phone message about Carol. My heart goes out to Sylvain, the boys, and the whole team. Let me know if I can be of any help.
Did you ever think anymore about the front Dynamics?

1500ESPN's Phil Mackey tells us the Twins, in recalling Delmon Young and Trevor Plouffe, have send down the Rene's – Tosoni and Rivera.
While the Tosoni decision was relatively straightforward, deciding between backstops Drew Butera and Rivera appeared more complicated. Butera has become the favorite for Carl Pavano, subduing the running game for the sluggish-in-the-stretch righty. Rivera, on the other hand, had coaxed some of the best work out of Francisco Liriano. Neither offered much in the way of offense but in his limited reps Butera has gone 12-for-37 (.327) in his last 36 plate appearances whereas Rivera had been an ice-cold 5-for-35 (.143) recently.
Meanwhile Plouffe's returning with plenty of fanfare after decimating some AAA pitching. From May 1 to May 20, the shortstop performed extremely well at the plate, hitting .289/.404/.579 with 3 home runs and a pair of doubles. Then, opponents began to pick on a soft spot in his swing down-and-in. From May 21 until his demotion, he went 1-for-22 with just four balls hit out of the infield. Plouffe's outpour of offense at Rochester suggests that either he's (a) figured out how to handle that pitch or (b) AAA teams have not been able to exploit this spot.
Denard Span is inching closer to returning writes MLB.com reporter Rhett Bollinger. According to the manager, Span will be re-evaluated either Tuesday or Wednesday by doctors this week and, if given the all-clear, will be assigned to Rochester for 7-to-10 days on rehab.
Between Ben Revere and Denard Span, the Twins would tout one of the best defensive outfield combinations in baseball. While Span has been much improved in his time in center, Revere has proven that with his speed he can not only cover the area in Target Field but would like patrol the land between the Red River and Lake Superior just as well. Together, they have helped the Twins convert an MLB-leading 76 out-of-zone catches while making the majority of plays within their designated zone. Their joint efforts in the outfield would give the Twins' fly ball pitchers above-average support.
It's not hard to imagine Span moving to a corner outfield slot in order to accommodate for the rangier Revere but if there is one position Span should not be moved from it's the lead-off spot. Although Revere has adequately enough in Span's absence, Span is clearly a more polished lead-off hitter.

The boys of summer are set to take Target Field on Monday, kicking off a season of sunshine and bleacher-seat boozin'. The only catch: In these parts, winter is slow to unclench its frosty fist.
But we're blizzard-braving Minnesotans. We shrug off single-digit temperatures and de-ice our cars without a wince. We won't let a little cold air spoil the Twins home opener (right?).
Hot days and cold beers are in our future. Until then, these bars near the ballpark have some drinks capable of warming you up before or after a chilly day of cheering for the hometown team.
Irish Cream Coffee at Kieran's Irish Pub
This classic coffee drink is a perfect day-starter for Monday's matinee. While still a simple mixed drink, Kieran's version bests your run-of-the-mill spiked cup of Joe, as the pregame hotspot makes its own better-than-Baileys Irish cream in-house (hey, Folliard, start bottling this!). The luscious liqueur could work straight or over ice, but joins with the java and a faintly cinnamony whipped cream topping (also house-made) in a warm, cushiony glass of liquid comfort.

Linie Aquavit mulled cider at Bradstreet Craftshouse
An artisan cocktail joint may not be the most natural environs for jersey-sporting jocks, but a steamy, Grade-A elixir on a glacial game day is universally enticing. Bradstreet offers several hot drinks, including a trio of mulled ciders mixed with an orange cordial, Antica vermouth and different base liquors. Minnesotans looking to embrace their Scandinavian heritage might try the Linie Aquavit option, a Norwegian-made spirit with a soft licorice-y flavor that isn't offensive like Jägermeister.

Sinful Cider at the Local
This Nicollet Mall tavern, too, boasts a signature cider. More soothing than "sinful," this belly-warmer calls for a cinnamon-infused 2 Gingers, hot apple cider and a touch of brown sugar. The sweetened whiskey blends with the cider so silkily you could serve it to a child (but don't). It's the kind of drink you want drawn from a kettle by your Irish grandpa while snowed in at a remote cabin. Or, you know, before an April baseball game.

Bourbon flights at Butcher & the Boar
Smuggling a flask into a cold-weather sporting event is a time-honored (if somewhat tacky) tradition. A nip of the sauce might help in coping with the cold, but rather than being that guy, don your whiskey Teflon at Butcher & the Boar. The benevolent bourbon hounds have assembled a variety of flights for the three-pronged whistle-whetting. Optimize the liquor-layering sensation by aiming high (proof, that is).

Worthy Adversary at Fulton taproom
It's not baseball without beer, so it's lucky that Minneapolis' first taproom popped up a bloop single away from Target Field. Fulton invites imbibers into its taproom up to two hours before (but no earlier than 11 a.m.) non-Sunday home games, and at 9.2 percent ABV its Russian imperial stout is like a mitten for your liver. The dark and decadent winter seasonal dominates the palate in ways a "beer here" domestic can't fathom (a Worthy Adversary, indeed). Sadly, this bold brew won't last much longer, but it should be on tap during the opener.

Primebar's number is up
Too soon to talk curse? When Primebar opened last summer in the Calhoun Square space that long-housed Figlio, there was hope that the contemporary sports/beer bar could bring stability to the location after the ill-fated Il Gatto flopped.
But the Restaurants America-owned chain's Uptown outpost shut down last Sunday, seemingly out of the blue. A Facebook post Monday morning offered little explanation for the abrupt closure: "To our loyal guests: Unfortunately, we had to close our doors yesterday. We're sorry to say goodbye, and thank you all for your loyalty. We hope our paths cross again in the future."
See you upstairs at Republic.
A good spill
Just as Uptown loses a beer bar, it gains a popular wine bar. After five-plus years in downtown Minneapolis, Spill the Wine has headed south to Bryant Avenue and Lake Street into the old Sunrise Cyclery space. Owner Katie Greeman will open the doors to her relocated small-plates-and-vino venture Tuesday, with a few new menu items.

Firken time
The St. Paul suds whizzes at Happy Gnome are hosting their annual Firkin Fest from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday ($50). The gastropub has gathered more than 85 firkins for this beer-tasting tent party in its parking lot. The cask-conditioned offerings come from beloved locals like Surly and Summit as well as such national big shots as Bell's, Deschutes and Odell.

Joe's goes
Last weekend, longtime Loring Park burger bar Joe's Garage closed its doors for the last time. "It's been a good run, but things change, it's time to move on," owner Joe Kaplan said by phone. The good news: Kaplan said he's hooking up with the Butcher & the Boar team, which includes acclaimed chef Jack Riebel, on a new project in the same space. While the concept is still in the works, Kaplan said he hopes to open around the end of the summer.

Swiftech as a company began in 1994 maintaining high end UNIX imaging systems. Around 1997 they made the move to cooling for personal computers. Since then Swiftech has been turning out products for the overclocking community at affordable prices. Water cooling a PC in its early years was almost a dark art of fish tank pumps, heater cores from cars, and homemade CPU blocks. Thanks to companies like Swiftech it's now as easy as a couple of clicks and you can have a complete water cooling system drop shipped to your front door.
Water is becoming more and more common and not as much of a mystery due to self contained kits like the Corsair H50, but for the user pushing their system for all it's worth there are still folks like Swiftech with their line of waterblocks for chipsets, GPU's, and CPU's; as well as their line of Quiet Power radiators and pumps to help users keep their systems cool.
The part we are focusing on today is Swiftech's new flagship CPU waterblock, the Apogee XT. This time around Swiftech made a single top plate for a universal fit for Intel sockets. So the stock Apogee XT will mount up to LGA 775/1156/1366 sockets without the need of changing out the top plate. What does have to change is the backing plate. The Apogee XT includes the LGA1156 and LGA1366 backing plates, but you can get a LGA775 for free by requesting it from Swiftech. There are currently no mounting plates for the AMD camp yet. Swiftech says on the site that the plates are being made and should be available in the coming weeks.
Swiftech says that the new Apogee XT has an average 3 degree improvement over its predecessor, the Apogee GTZ i7. This has me very excited as a 3 degree jump in performance would be worth the $79.95 MSRP. It is only $20 more than the GTZ i7 and it includes the all the mounts that would be needed to move from LGA775 to 1156 to 1366. In the past each one of those steps would have cost an extra $10. That was a nice change on Swiftech's end.
We received a retail Apogee XT from our friends at CrazyPC.com for us to give the once over. The Apogee XT comes packed in a cardboard box. The LGA1156 backing plate was taped to the outside of the box.
Inside we can see the Apogee XT wrapped in bubble wrap and the instructions. There was also a note from Swiftech that said the LGA1156 brackets didn't ship with the initial release. This explains why it was taped to the outside of the box.
Along with the Apogee XT you get 1/2" hose barbs, hose clamps, and a tube of Arctic Ceramique thermal paste.

really yummy. Added quite a few dashes of Franks Hot Sauce and it took the already delicious soup to another level of flavor. !
Jan 18, 2014
EXCELLENT recipe! I doubled the recipe, added about one cup chopped celery and also carrots, substituted rosemary and some parsley for thyme and used Sargento Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar Cheese for the fontina. So good this is not only a "keeper" recipe, but I emailed it to several friends. Hot French Baguette and tomato slices sprinkled with celery salt hit the spot on a 20 degree winter day. Thank you so very much!Carol Herman in Milwaukee, WI

Delicious! Will make again and again and again.I didn't have fontina cheese but used parmesan and the substitution worked out well.
Nov 12, 2011
I made this soup an it was very good. I did not have any cheese so I made it with out the cheese. I crumbed some bacon on top of it. I will be making it again. you must try it!!!!

Briefly: New Apple Store downtime sign; Lumia 900 free after data glitch
We'll be back
The notification page for down time on Apple's online store has changed from the sticky note theme that had been used for years to a linen theme reminiscent of iOS. The wording of the note also underwent some subtle changes.
The older version of the sign read: "We'll be back soon. We are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly," while the new version reads: "We'll be back. We're busy updating the Apple Store for you and will be back soon."
The cause of Tuesday evening's down time is not yet known. It is most likely a routine update, though some have speculated that it could be related to an expected MacBook Pro refresh.
Top: New "We'll be back" sign; Bottom: Apple's old sign
Lumia bug
After a number of owners of Nokia's new Lumia 900 Windows Phone reported trouble with data connections, the Finnish handset maker has confirmed the software glitch to AllThingsD. Devices with the fix are on their way to AT&T stores and a software update will be available on April 16.
According to Nokia executive Chris Weber, the glitch is caused by a memory-management issue and is not a problem with the hardware or AT&T's network.
To make amends, Nokia told the publication that it will offer a $100 credit to all Lumia 900 buyers. Since the device costs $99 on contract, the company is basically offering the phone for free. The credit is available to any customers who buy the handset before 12 a.m. pacific on April 21.
âThe customer always comes first, and I think weâre showing it here,â Weber said.
The Lumia 900 had a quiet launch on Sunday in part because many stores were closed for the Easter holiday. Analyst projections for Lumia 900 sales this quarter vary widely, with one analyst expecting as few as 140,000 sales a quarter.
AT&T has reportedly spent as much as $150 million on the Lumia 900 launch. One preorder promotion from the carrier offered the handset for free.

| This is a record of a nomination to become Staff.
Please do not edit the nomination, questions or comments sections of this page. Discuss on the talk page if neccessary.
User:Masterpogihaha has been nominated to become a Moderator. I am nominating him because he has a large number of edits, and seems to understand this wiki well. I would like to see his responses to these questions (and other members' opinions) before deciding whether he should be staff. Gboyers talk 19:02, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Masterpogihaha, please reply with whether you accept or decline this nomination, and why. If you accept, please answer the questions below.
I respectfully accept the nomination. :D Masterpogihaha 13:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Any user may ask a question here for the candidate to answer. Feel free to add extra questions based on their replies.
What do you think is the hardest thing for new editors to get the hang of (whether a technical skill, a policy or just the way we do things here); how would you spot they were having difficulty; and how would you help them? Maybe explain what was the hardest thing you've had to learn whilst being here? Gboyers talk 05:49, 27 May 2020
- I think that the hardest thing for new editors to get the hang of is how to use different symbols and how to edit properly to be a what would be considered as a good editor. Links, categories and signing their names on talk pages are just some examples. Masterpogihaha 13:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Becoming staff isn't a reward for good edits, it's a job and a respoinsibility. How do you feel you could help us, and why should we promote you to become a Moderator? Gboyers talk 05:49, 27 May 2020
- Most of the time, I like to cleanup articles. I would know when to clean up these articles since I regularly check the recent edits, and that's the first thing I do when I log in. Also, I would like to make this wiki as best as it could be. One way is to help users who are having a tough time editing, so that they could be good editors someday. Another way is to expand and cleanup articles so that they're very understandable and organized when someone reads them. Masterpogihaha 13:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Are there any little tasks, jobs or vendettas you perform around the wiki that you are particularly proud of? Gboyers talk 05:49, 27 May 2020
- I do love to categorize articles and images. Also, I regularly fix mission pages, which I also like to do. I also fix links that lead to a disambiguation page, as you can see by the many "disambig link" edit summaries I have. I regularly check images, to see if they have a description, the proper template and the proper categories. Masterpogihaha 13:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Could you give one example of what you think is one of the best pages on this wiki, and a brief explanation of why you chose that. It should probably be an informational article, but you could use a list or category or similar if you explain why. Gboyers talk 05:49, 27 May 2020
- I regularly pay attention to the GTA SA articles, especially for places and missions, and probably a good example is the Doherty article. It states all things necessary in a clean, organized and understandable way. Also, with some very minor cleanup, the San Fierro and Las Venturas articles could be very well one of the best articles in the wiki. Masterpogihaha 13:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Do you have any questions about the wiki, its staff or the role of a Moderator, or any final comments before we make our decision? Gboyers talk 05:49, 27 May 2020
- I have no particular questions, but I do thank you for nominating. I promise I'll devote some more of my time to this wiki, even though schoolwork may be heavy. Thanks again! :D Masterpogihaha 13:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
You mention the problems new users often have, and that you wish to help them, but how would you go about doing that? This could include action to the page, action to the user, and long-term prevention. Gboyers talk 14:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- I would first edit his/her mistake, explain to him/her why is it like that, and tell him to do the correct thing in the future, all while being friendly. Always have to have a positive attitude, right? If ever, though, he repeats it again, I'll just have to remind the person again, still being friendly and all. I'm certain that the problems will somehow change and be less of a problem. Masterpogihaha 14:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Two specific (real) examples for you to answer separately. Firstly, if you came across this page (titled "vinewood glitch", what would you do? Secondly, if you came across this page, what would you do? Gboyers talk 14:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- First, about the Vinewood glitch. It is not really worthy or well-constructed enough to be in its own article, so I would probably have moved the content to Glitches#GTA San Andreas and redirected the "Vinewood Glitch" page to Glitches#GTA San Andreas. Second, for the mysteries thing, I would have somehow tried to merge it with the content of Myths in GTA San Andreas, or move it to their respective pages if it is worthy enough. But honestly, everything I could understand from the mysteries article is found already somewhere else (Myths of GTA San Andreas), and it is pretty much unorganized, so I would have simply put the {{prod}} template to the article. Masterpogihaha 14:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Can you think of anything that we (as the wiki, or as staff) could do to help new users understand the wiki better, and to be able to contribute good content earlier? Do you believe they should learn how to edit (eg at Help and Sandbox) before launching head-first into complicated articles (often full of strange code)? Or you do think they should use the wiki to learn, adding content at the expense of article quality (like the above example pages)? There's no right answer, every wiki does it differently, so which would you choose? Gboyers talk 14:37, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- I learned to use the wiki by viewing the wikitext source, and comparing it to the article page. I learned how to do links, templates, etc by doing this, so I guess that's pretty good for me. I have this idea of, while signing in as a new user, to tick a box whether you have read the help section or at least one wiki source, but I think some people will just tick it without reading, so, I guess that won't work out well. Another idea is that they should obtain a certain amount of edits first before they go out creating new pages; this is to make sure they're somehow experienced. Probably this will work out better, but I'm not sure how many edits first should you make. Masterpogihaha 14:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
What would you do differently if you were given moderator/sysop status, rights and tools? Gboyers talk 14:47, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- As always, I'll contribute greatly to the wiki, but now in a more responsible and aware way, as the staff is somehow the "role models" of the wiki. And, since I'm given new rights/tools, I'll use the extra rights/tools with care and responsibility, and when needed. I'd also like to help out more if I do become staff, as that is one major thing a staff should do. Masterpogihaha 14:58, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Any user may leave a comment here, which will be considered before the decision is made.
- I feel Masterpogihaha is a valuable member of this community, and I am very pleased to be able to offer the promotion to Moderator. I hope he lives up to his own expectations of being a role model for the other users of this wiki, and I wish him the best of luck. Gboyers talk 17:55, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- This section is for any user to formally list whether they are in favour of this promotion or not. Simply sign your name on a bullet point, add any comments into the comments section. This is NOT a vote, but the results will be taken into consideration by the Managers. Remember, this is not whether you like the user, but whether they would be a good member of staff.

No. I don't care how cool they are, I just refuse to start over at a whole new scale...Bigger figures take up more space and after 10+ years of the modern stuff, I'm running out of room as it is.
I think I'd side with Jeff on this one. But like Mikey, I really enjoy the Marvel Legends figures as well. That said, I've often remarked that I wish the ML stuff was done in the 3.75" scale. I'm not about to go back and start again, as others have remarked. I might gather some figures but I think I'm waning a bit with being overwhelmed anyway, so introducing yet another thing for me to collect will probably have limited temptation for me.
God, no. Please no.Kevin

Before he was an art collector, Sterling Clark was an explorer and adventurer. In 1908–9 he led an expedition across China's northern frontier, covering nearly 2,000 miles of largely uncharted territory, primarily on mule and horseback. Beginning in Taiyuan in Shanxi province, Clark and his team, which included the young naturalist Arthur de Carle Sowerby, traversed "Shên-kan" (the provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu). Over the course of the yearlong trek, they collected wildlife specimens and compiled scientific data of lasting interest and significance.
Three years later, Clark and Sowerby published Through Shên-kan: The Account of the Clark Expedition in North China, 1908–9. Part travelogue and part scientific record, the book greatly expanded Western knowledge of the terrain, climate, ecology, and culture of northern China. This exhibition marks the centennial of the publication of Through Shên-kan, bringing together equipment, records, and specimens from the journey and underscoring the impact and reach of the Clark expedition.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Michael J. Fox is planning a return to series TV, more than a decade after he left to concentrate on fighting Parkinson's disease.
The actor, who first gained fame in the 1980s sitcom "Family Ties" and later headlined "Spin City," will star in a comedy that's in development at Sony Pictures Television for 2013, according to people with knowledge of the project.
The people, who lacked authority to publicly discuss the matter, spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity. The project has drawn strong interest from the major networks, they said.
The actor's publicist did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sony declined comment.
Fox, 51, who starred in the hit "Back to the Future" movie franchise, is working with Will Gluck, director of the film "Easy A," and writer Sam Laybourne, whose credits include "Cougar Town" and "Arrested Development," the people said.
The actor, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, left "Spin City" in 2000 and said he intended to focus on helping find a cure for the disease. He started a foundation, which bears his name, to fund research toward that goal.
Although he reduced his workload because of Parkinson's, Fox has made guest appearances on TV series including "Rescue Me," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "The Good Wife."
In May, Fox told ABC News that a new drug regimen has helped him control the tics that are a result of the disease and allowed him to take on more acting roles.
The new Sony project was first reported by the entertainment website Vulture.

3. Nothing too elegant - we do not want to come across as being fancy. We want the locals to feel like they can afford to eat here a couple times a week.
4. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
5. The picture of the monkey should be illustrative drawing.
6. The color we prefer are gold for lettering and dark green between the circles.
7. The logo should not have a theme park mentality.
we are open to all other ideas and suggestion.
