In last word of Suratul Kafirun, ayah/verse 4, how should this word be sounded- Abadhtum or Abattum?
Dear brothers and sisters,
In last word of Suratul Kafirun, ayah/verse 4, 'ayn with fatah/jabar,ba with fatah/jabar, dal with saakunah/sakin,ta with shuddah/tashdid and fatah/jabarfollowed by mim with saakunah/sakin. How should this word be sounded- Abadhtum with dal followed by ta or Abattum ba catching ta. Your help in this regard will be appreciated-
Assalaam alaikum.
The word has a saakinah meeting a . These letters share the same articulation point, but have different characteristics- meaning they have relationship. When a saakinah meets a, we merge the completely into the and the acquires a shaddah because it is now two letters merged into one. We therefore do not pronounce the at all because it has merged into the the (there is idhgaam of the into the ), and the is read with a shaddah-as written. We pronounce the with a fathah, then go directly to the with the shaddah and fathah.
You are most welcome.

Kirstenmacaulay2 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 93 diseños de 39 diseñadores freelance.
Hey there!
I have very recently started my own business. It is a prenatal and pediatric nutritional consulting company. My business is education based and will be working mostly with parents and children. It is obviously a professional business, but also totally fun and I need my logo to reflect that. I am a young, light hearted lady who has a passion for babies and children..I couldn't ask for a better job!!!
My business is specifically for pregnant women and children up until the age of about 12-13. I will be covering basic nutrition for families and individuals as well as specific treatments for children with allergies, ADD/HD, autism and learning disabililties.
so..here it goes. The business name is ready.set.grow! ALL in small letters with a period in between and an exclamation mark at the end. I don't like complicated things in life, so I am hoping to have a nice clear and simple logo that truely represents me and my business. I love the colours green, purple, and blue. No reds, blacks or other primary- like colours. I love fresh looking colours, such as celery green. I feel that the colours are really important since it is supposed to appeal to children and also represent life for pregnant women. I actually do not know what picture I would like, but the business is food..im not that creative. Thats why I need you!! Let your mind go wild!! But like I said before, something simple,fresh and fun!.The font that I really like is AR CENA in Microsoft Word. The picture hopefully will be more iconic than detailed of something to do with children, perhaps a figure with some sort of symbol of food.
Thanks so much!!! I am super excited to see what you can come up with!!!! I will check back often to give feedback so you and I can get a better picture of what I am looking for
Have a superb day!!!

About TNW
TNW has been sharing, inventing and advancing tech developments since 2006. Here's what you should know about us.
In 2006, founders Boris and Patrick were looking for a tech event to showcase their new startup.
When they couldn't find one that checked all the boxes they decided to host their own.
As they were organizing things, they soon realized they needed somewhere to promote the conference, and that's how thenextweb.com was launched.
It later became a blog and the result is what you are looking at right now.
TNW was started to bring insight, meaning—and every now and again, the lulz—to the world of technology. But we didn't want to stop there. Today the company has grown from those two parts to four pillars that brought forth TNW News, TNW Deals, TNW Conference and Events, our new tech hub called TQ and Index, our market intelligence platform.
Remarkable progress
There's a large and growing group of people who take a special interest in technology. This is what we call Generation T.
Their need for information, data and personal connections is increasing.
TNW is a future-proof tech media company that focuses on this cross-generational group and helps them get the most out of technology by informing them through remarkable stories and insights, and by bringing them together through extraordinary events and workspaces.
Our enterprises
Providing an original and proudly opinionated perspective on remarkable stories for Generation T.
Remarkable business events for media and technology professionals.
Index provides insights into private tech companies by turning unstructured content into structured data and intelligence.

9 Tricks Found -- Page 1
|These are quality non-gimmicked handcuffs at an economical price. While you may not want to use these for true police situations, they look great to magic audiences! Chrome look with keys.
|A canvas mail bag is inspected by volunteers from the audience. Additionally two padlocks and a steel bar are examined. The performer enters inside the bag and the steel bar is threaded through the eyelets in the top of the bag and each end of the steel bar is padlocked shut. A cloth covering is raised and the performer escapes! 0003nufud01240
|This version of handcuffs allows the magician to slip in and out of them in a moment's breeze! The bar is chrome plated, with wrist chains and padlocks. Great handcuffs for use with the Substitution Trunk (Sub Trunk) illusion. 0621FOLMW0028
|A cloth bag is presented to the audience. The sides and bottom of the back are show to be sewn completely (they really are). The magician or assistant climbs into the bag and the mouth of the bag is then tied shut with a rope or cord. A covering such as a curtain or sheet is raised up in front of the performer for only a moment and the person quickly makes their escape from the bag. The tied top of the bag is undisturbed! Sound impossible? No Velcro is used. No extra rope is pulled down inside the bag, and no stitching is removed. This is an excellent bag for those who need a bag for the Metamorphosis Substitution Trunk (Sub Trunk) illusion.
|The performer is shackled with a chain and padlock. It seems virtually impossible for him to escape. Placing his shackled hands under the cover of a handkerchief or towel, he makes his escape in about three seconds! This escape is easy to perform and comes with ungimmicked chain, lock, and complete instructions. 053nufro00120
|This a well made canvas straitjacket with all the regular buckles and belts that make it impossible to escape. This jacket is tan in color and is tricked to give you ample ability to escape. Comes packaged and with complete instructions. 0069MM6540
|This is Harry Houdini's famous escape illusion effect. The magician is handcuffed, placed into a canvas sack and the sack is tied shut. The performer is then placed into a trunk, the trunk is closed, padlocked, tied shut with a rope or chain and so forth. The magician's assistant stands on top of the trunk, momentarily raises a cover, and the two performers instantaneously change places! The magician is now free and the assistant is found inside the trunk, inside the tied sack, and handcuffed! We build some of the finest sub trunks ever made. We supply the trunk. You can purchase handcuffs elsewhere on our website and we recommend the Sack-X Escape listed above for the bag. This trunk comes apart and packs flat for transport. Made by Chadwick Illusion Fabrications. Go to www.ChadwickIllusionFabrications.com to download a PDF flyer regarding this great prop. Please note that this effect like all of our other illusions do not qualify for free shipping. However it can be shipped via UPS at cost.
|The magician has a spectator examine a pair of ungimmicked double-locked thumb cuffs. The spectator is then locked into the thumb cuffs and is unable to escape. The magician shows that only 2 keys can open the cuffs and free the spectator. The magician gives both keys to another spectator to hold. The magician's thumb cuffs are locked on by a volunteer. The spectator covers the magician's hand with a cloth (not included). Instantly the magician has escaped! Wait...he's in again...no, he's out! Finally, when the cloth is whisked away, the cuffs have completely vanished! Comes with real thumb cuffs, and 2 keys. Also great for use in performing another version of the Thumb Tie listed on this webpage. 578NUFlo00190
|Volunteers securely tie the magician's thumbs together with pipe cleaners. Still the performer can catch rings tossed to him and they penetrate onto the magician's arm! The magician can move his tied hands through a microphone stand or even through one of the volunteer's arms! Pipe cleaners and instructions are supplied.

Xen is one of the leading Virtualization software. You can use Xen virtualization to implement HA clusters. However, there are few issues you must be aware of while handling failures in a high-availability environment. This article explains configuration options using Xen:
The idea of using virtual machines to build high available clusters is not new. Some software companies claim that virtualization is the answer to your HA problems, off course that's not true. Yes, you can reduce downtime by migrating virtual machines to another physical machine for maintenance purposes or when you think hardware is about to fail, but if an application crashes you still need to make sure another application instance takes over the service. And by the time your hardware fails, it's usually already too late to initiate the migration.
So, for each and every application you still need to look at whether you want to have it constantly available, if you can afford the application to be down for some time, or if your users won't mind having to relogin when one server fails.

Gambling isn't as scandalous as writing about it.You can't be a poker blogger and not think about addiction. It's like not thinking about death because it lasts too long. More than that, there is very little difference biologically between what is going inside the head of a drug addict and a poker "pro". There is no shame, however, in being a Poker Pro, only in still being one, once you realize your brain made you re-buy.
Furthermore, as the selfish brain fears death and looks for predictable experiences, poker is a great placebo that hijacks the brain with a predictable surprise: card players are surprised if they win and surprised if they lose. see: Poker= f(dopamine flow); Money= happiness in the United States of Unconsciousness
It's not winning that makes a winner, but losing. The excitement is not from the winning, it's avoiding the disaster, because you're flirting with it every day. It's not like every game you play is the Super Bowl, but every game is the Playoffs.
Let's drill down and go even further: Poker is not unique from Crack. It is crack. The way the system works is if we get rewarded in a surprising way, dopamine is released and that kind of alerts the brain how that is going to happen again.
There really is no way for your brain to differentiate, between a love affair, or the behavior of gambling, ie.the pursuit of a fast buck or for that matter, pursuing a drug. When run amok, drugs, alcohol (Substances) and sex and poker (behavior) are not unique "moral" challenges, but brain diseases.
The disease of poker is especially destructive because it affects the very brain areas that people need to play good poker---thinking straight, applying good judgment, and making good decisions for their lives (It messes with Executive Function, seeking a short-term gain at the expense of a large long-term lose). Gambling thinking is magical thinking, the selfish brain competing for your finite resources and instead of mindfulness, you get mindlessness.
Just as in "diseases" like diabetes or asthma, The Poker affliction can be managed through proper treatments and individual responsibility.It's a brain disease,and a consumer choice. It doesn't show a lack of will power, for even the mantra "Everything In Moderation" provide an excuse for (the) bad behavior.
What is a habit but self-discipline? Yet, consider you are not playing because you like to; you are doing it because you have to, especially if your playing poker usurps all other "normal" activities, like sleeping,eating and drinking.
and now:
The Demographics of Overconfidence--- Beating America's 92 Million Irrational Poker Players
Men Behaving Badly or My Brain Made Me Re-buy
You gotta be willing to die, however, in order to live, to be a great player: to Go All In with the best or bluff with the worst. Consequently, There's no such thing as good and bad math in holdem: 1+1=infinity, but they are empty infinities of bliss and death, an abyss of divine enjoyment. This is the Sex of Poker, your bargain with chaos. Are your ready to shuffle up and deal with it?
You see, Poker Doesn't think. It is an infinite game;the overall phenomenon of NLH has no end. It is always a frontier, always on the edge .The rules are simple but the dynamics of the game are ruthless: it is designed to F with you. For instance: If playing against 5 other opponents there are more than 9.7 trillion possible hand combinations that could come up.
Once in a while there's a night when you get exactly where you're trying to go. Magic. Then you chase that memory for a while. (Nostalgia) But precisely because you so want to get there it becomes harder and harder. If you think long, you think wrong, it make your game weaker because Poker doesn't think.
Like you(th), poker is best understood in retrospect: from within the experience, you cannot see it for what it is. see: Feel Athletic, go to a sports bar; feel lucky, a casino.
Denial is a River in Vegas
The future is not what it used to be---neither is taking risks --thanks to Wall Street's Viagra up and down math and after math, even number atheists and non "investors" get the picture. The market cannot be controlled and neither can a deck of cards.
Poker is not a form of gambling---but gambling is a form of poker
Most market theories and models assume "investors" are rational decision makers who act in their own best interests. But, in reality, our investment brain often drives us to do things that are quite illogical, but make perfect emotional sense.
Think of the ipod shuffle mode----the shuffle mode has an algorithm that randomizes the selection of songs that your IPod can select. Any 'pattern' you discern from what songs your IPod selects is illusory. Just because you lost five times in a row, doesn't mean you are "due" to win one. Yet, Motion Creates Emotion...not progress.
I'll talk about Discounting The Future in this post; a mental bias that affects all sorts of risky behavior---from the paradox of smoking cigarettes in the healthy conscious USA to the fact that more people in America die from over eating rather than starvation, fast food for a fast world. But let's move from the United States of Unconscious eating,Your brain on French Fries to Unconscious Gambling, your brain on Poker and Decision
The quicker you go, the longer it takes---That's why Instant Gratification Takes Too Long. Perform the Psychological Judo and Procrastinate NOW! because Infinite Patience brings immediate results to your game.
The Impatience of Patience
There is Mr. Right and Mr Right NOW---Players very robustly want instant gratification right now, and want to be patient in the future. Instead of inspiring caution, when we risk money, our brains' typical response to this uncertainty is to sharply reduce the importance of the future in our decision-making, an effect known in Behavioral Finance as hyperbolic discounting.
Most Rounders know hand values and preflop strategy, but post flop is where a bit of hyperbole comes in. This irrational affliction is ubiquitous in the DNA of grinders; a mind over money problem,er, I mean challange, valuing imminent hands over future ones.
Poker's outward simplicity-The ability to affect the outcome is present, unlike roulette. If no one sees any cards, the cards did not play a role in the outcome. Thus, the outcome was determined by the betting of the players, clearly a process of skill or strategy. If he checks bet. If he bets raise. If he re-raises, go All -In. Put the commitment on him; last in money creates the edge instead of First Money Vigorish. see First in Money is so pre 9 Eleven
There is no YES in Yesterday, because of the luck factor and the fact that poker is situational, you don't learn from you mistakes, you un-learn from them.
Consequently, The future isn't what it used to be because it is perfectly reasonable to "think" you will suck out and get lucky. (That makes it a thinking problem, not a gambling one). In fact, those who think about the past (scared money) have no future. You see, Too much respect for money, therefore, makes you a bad no limit holdem player. This game is sick, isn't it? Check please.
Spending Your Derelict You(th) at the Poker table
A little past playing good is playing badly.
"There is no shame in being a poker pro, only in staying one" Ed Reif Wise and Otherwise 2007
In order to open the Black Box up after your game crashes, there shouldn't be any disconnect between what I'm doing and what I want to be doing...in the future...But on some level, there always is.
Forget about the degeneracy that surrounds poker. the addiction, drug and alcohol use, depression, and sleep deprivation. After all, Few things are harder to put up with than a good example--- If it wasn't for pimps, prostitutes, hustlers, gangsters there wouldn't be any No Limit Poker as we know it today.
It's like using Visa or MasterCard--- You(th)buy(s) things they can't afford on a credit card, and as a result you get to buy less over the course of your lifetimes.
After all, Who thinks of saving for retirement when the urge to merge and spend is always on and ever present. Who thinks of Insurance? I am in the business of creating risk. Insurance protects me from risk, you're betting you're gonna lose, you're gonna get sick, you're gonna get in an accident. Nah, I'll bet on me, and fund the risk myself.
Putting some quo in your status or "But there's Still A Chance"
If you ask people, 'Which do you want right now, Vegetables or Pizza ?' they say, 'Pizza !'
But if you ask, 'Which one a week from now?' they will say, 'Vegetables .' Now we want Pizza , beer and cigarettes. In the future, we want to eat Vegetables , Vitamins, and drink Evian bottled water.
Likewise, you can always tell a poker player, but you can't tell them much---about holdem being a game of position, about holdem being a game of (selective) aggression, about folding 60% of your starting hands.
Ah, but you are going to need a compelling reason to fold more starting hands. As long as you remember your choices as better than they actually were (Using the past to predict the future), there's more pain for sale. (Your brain made you re- buy).
There is never a certain prescribed way to play a hand, just a way to think about them. I've had racks of chips only to be felted 14 hours later because instead of an attitude of gratitude, I personally have the Mick Jaggar Tumbling Dice "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing"soundtrack playing. There is no limit like no limit!
Holdem is too random to be left up to chance so you want to play against people who say, "But there's still a chance" or better yet, "But they were suited!" Most players will gravitate towards low probability high payoff bets. Most players experience risk in the short-term thinking that money doesn't grow on trees but trees grow to the sky.
To short circuit this kind of thinking, simply ask yourself, If they weren't suited , would you still play them---Of Course not. Making decisions by accepting the default option-But they were suitedand There's always Bob (Hope) is hopeless. Yet something that everyone knows isn't worth knowing.
Choosing Preferences over Outcomes
It's not success or failure only outcomes.It's not about winning or losing, but exceling and making good decisions in spite of the outcome! ER
Poker is, first and foremost, a game of managing resources, or if non are available, being resourceful. You can explain anything with preferences- For example "I always play 7 deuce unsuited". It's The Hammer. 7-2 off suit is considered the worst hand in Texas Hold'em. ... Because it is the worst, some players will play it for fun, and will continue to keep betting, even if they expect to lose This .Belief perseverance-that you can spike that one out, and get lucky is every where in Poker, the seductive NOW moment in the the game. It's becoming a routine observation.
This malignant optimism can create the happy accident-- you can get lucky 100% of the time....on any one hand.
This is a predictable surprise in holdem, the cost of doing "Business" are chips, and BAD BEATS are the overhead!
Playing holdem without a helmet
This is one of the secrets to Beating America's 92 Million Irrational Poker Players:Most players are experience rich and technique poor. They most likely are gambling not betting. This is your demographic of"overconfidence", of magical thinking,Every Americon Gambler is only a hand away from a very humbling wake-up call.
Most people will choose preferences over outcomes. like playing Russian roulette and saying to yourself "You have a 5/6 chance of surviving. People sometimes select the choice they put less monetary value on. That is why calling to the river is a way of folding. The Cult of the amateur has drunk the kool-aid. The close choice of say, a heavy metal fan of Metalica verses Mozart Effect. The glass is not half full, it's not big enough for gamblers. If you swim in the river, you drown in the river.

Hypothyroidism means that the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone regulates many natural processes of metabolism and growth.
Congenital hypothyroidism means the condition was present at or before birth. Severe physical and mental developmental delays can occur if congenital hypothyroidism is not identified and treated in a timely matter. Older children may fail to grow properly if any type of hypothyroidism is inadequately treated.
Congenital hypothyroidism occurs in about one in 2,000 to 4,000 live term births. Newborn screenings promote earlier treatment and reduce the risk for developmental delay.
Causes of hypothyroidism in infants, children, or adolescents include:
Missing or poorly developed thyroid gland
Pituitary gland that doesn't work effectively
Hashimoto's thyroiditis, or Hashimoto's disease, in which the immune system destroys the thyroid
Side effect of certain medications
Inadequate iodine in the diet, which is rare in developed countries
Exposure to ionizing radiation, although this is rare as a cause of hypothyroidism
Many babies born with hypothyroidism have no symptoms at all, or their symptoms do not present for several days to weeks.
Symptoms of congenital hypothyroidism can include:
Heavier birth weight
Dull look on the face
Puffy face
Tongue that seems to stick out
Difficulty eating or choking issues
Difficulty maintaining temperature
Unusual, hoarse cry
Difficulty breathing
Longer than normal jaundice
Lack of activity
Symptoms of hypothyroidism that develop later include:
Goiter (a swelling in the lower neck)
Slow growth
Dry skin, dry hair, and brittle nails
Not wanting to be active
Difficulty sleeping
Difficulty with temperature extremes
Abnormal sexual development
Slightly heavier weight than peers
If untreated, hypothyroidism can cause the following problems for children and teens:
Developmental delays, both physical and mental
Heart problems
Incorrect development of the central nervous system
Failure to grow and meet developmental milestones
Call your health care provider if your child shows any hypothyroidism symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are important.
Doctors typically take a medical history and do a physical exam. A simple blood test can let you know whether your child's thyroid is functioning correctly. Imaging studies, such as a thyroid scan or ultrasound, might also be needed to diagnose the condition.
The goal of treatment is to get thyroid hormone levels up to normal and reduce symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Treatment is usually one of two options:
Taking thyroid hormones regularly to increase the levels in the blood
Having surgery for an extreme goiter

The recent suspension of Seattle Seahawks defensive end Bruce Irvin did not escape the notice of Jim Harbaugh. The San Francisco 49ers coach has kept an eye on the trend of Seahawks players being suspended for performance-enhancing drug use.
"I've definitely noticed it," Harbaugh said in comments distributed by the 49ers. "You don't know what it is. Even when people say what it is, you don't know that that's what it is. For this, throw it out, or it's that. But that's usually the agents of the players themselves saying it's, for example, Adderall.
"But the NFL doesn't release what it actually is. So you have no idea. You're taking somebody at their word, that I don't know that you can take them at their word, understanding the circumstances."
Harbaugh said what a lot of us think when we hear a player cry "Adderall" after a positive test for a PED. It's hard to simply accept the word of a player after he just failed a test. And Harbaugh just happened to point out this trend when he was talking about his rival team's biggest offseason issue.
Reached later Tuesday on the issue, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll avoided making the story any bigger.
"We've kind of dealt with this to set into motion a really clear mindset to take care of business and treat this situation that is around the league very seriously," Carroll said, via The Associated Press. "I don't know about commenting about anybody else's team, but as far as we're concerned, we feel like we've addressed it directly."
Harbaugh said he addressed the issue with his players before it became a problem.
"Play by the rules," Harbaugh said he told his players. "And you always want to be above reproach. Especially when you're good, because you don't want people to come back and say they're winning because they're cheating. ... So we want to be above reproach in everything and do everything by the rules. Because if you cheat to win, then you've already lost, according to Bo Schembechler. And Bo Schembechler is about next to the word of God as you can get in my mind. It's not the word of God, but it's close."
It's nice to see Jim Harbaugh still bringing his strong press conference game in the middle of June. And it's nice to see two division rivals that aren't above publicly tweaking each other when it's warranted.

Tortillas for Tepeyac
It was a heated competition, to be sure, when a dozen or so local celebrities participated in the masa madness, otherwise known as Tortillas for Tepeyac. They were vying for the Golden Rolling Pin award, an honor that went to Yolanda Quesada, managing director of the Latino Community Foundation of Colorado, whose perfectly shaped creation won the loudest applause from the 250 guests assembled at Stapleton Recreation Center in Globeville.
Quesada dedicated her victory to "Those who love tortillas, but who have never made one."
The lunchtime "tortilla tussle" was a "friend-raiser" for Clinica Tepeyac; Jesse Ogas and Yolanda Ortega were the co-chairs. Their committee included Lucille Ruibal-Rivera, Brenda Vasquez, Jeff Martinez and Sherry Edmond.
Artist Daniel Luna created the pottery centerpieces that were an important part of the decor arranged by Brenda Vasquez, Nancy Sneath, Beth Elland, Clara Moreno, Grace Quade, Marie Jimenez and Liz Estrada. The Golden Rolling Pin that Quesada received was made by longtime Clinica supporter Bea Montoya, who was at the luncheon event with her daughter, Veronica.
Master of ceremonies Luis Canela helped Ogas and Ortega give a special shout-out to the Melendez family. They have been a part of Tortillas for Tepeyac since its start, making the delicous flour tortillas that guests can purchase to take home.
In addition to Quesada, those who had attempted to win the 2010 Golden Rolling pin were 7News anchor Anne Trujillo; Michelle Griego of CBS4; 9News business reporter Gregg Moss; Stephen Jordan, president of Metropolitan State College of Denver; Denver City Council members Judy Montero and Paul Lopez; Roxane White, Mayor John Hickenlooper's chief of staff; Don Mares, director of the Colorado Office of Labor and Employment; James Mejia, chief executive officer of the Denver Preschool Program; Lucia Guzman, director of Denver's Human Rights/Community Relations division; Anne Garcia of Rose Community Foundation; Lisza Gulyas of the Cable Center; Kelly Hodges from the Melvin and Elaine Wolf Foundation; and me.
Georgia Sigala, early intervention service coordinator for the Denver Public Schools, helped columnist and television talk show host Lindita Torres-Winters pick the tortilla finalists submitted to the audience for a winner-by-applause vote.
Clinica Tepeyac was founded in 1993 by then-parish council president Jim Garcia and others from Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. There were 500 patient visits that first year; in 2009, there were 14,398. Clients are low-income, uninsured metro-area residents. Learn more about it by visiting clinicatepeyac.org

Rovio Looks Beyond Angry Birds With The Croods, a Movie Tie-In Game
Continuing its effort to create hits beyond the Angry Birds, Rovio announced plans Friday for The Croods, a game tied to the DreamWorks Animation movie of the same name.
The game, which is slated to arrive March 14, is the latest collaboration with DreamWorks, as Rovio also did Angry Birds Rio — a tie-in with the movie "Rio."
Last year, Rovio released Amazing Alex, its first big non-Angry Birds title since the avians took off. It flew to the top of the charts, like other Rovio titles, but quickly came back to earth.

001. Last night me and my pals went out for drinks and stuff in Shorditch. It was really good actually but Dal (the girl in the photo, yes we look similar and we're not related!) ended up having to go home a bit earlier as she'd had one too many! Vodka and Cranberry happened, Dancing happened and a confetti cannon was also involved at one point! Such a good night!
002. Please excuse my cop out of a Sunday photo today! I cant believe Im typing this but I'm actually enjoying not wearing makeup much at the moment. Although I'm not at the point where I'd post my naked face on the Internet, Overall I'm very content with the way I look. I think it could be because I'm a lot happier with my skin since cutting dairy and religiously using the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo, my brows don't need to be filled in and I've had my lashes tinted. The idea of slapping on foundation just does not appeal to me much at the moment, especially on a Sunday. I'm currently on the look out for the perfect base. I've ordered the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint which I cant wait to try out.
003. Tomorrow I'm off to London Zoo weather permitting. Hopefully it'll be alright, the weather is awful right now here in London. Literally so cold and wet, and generally just drab! I've been to London Zoo before and you can see the pics from when I went here. Expect another instagram dump while I squee my way around all the animals! I'm a huuuuge penguin fan!
004. I've made quite a few videos recently if you wanted to check out my Youtube Channel (:
005. And lastly I've got to start planning my LFW outfits as it's next week! Argh it's come round so soon as it feels like just yesterday I was looking at SS stuff! Currently waiting for invites to come in but I'm literally so busy this season. I decided to take on more than I normally do as I want to do loads of coverage for different things! Super excited!

Photo: (AP Photo/Central News Agency) TAIWAN OUT
As many as 50 Taiwanese fishing boats entered territorial waters that Japan claims around the Senkaku Islands on Tuesday, a further escalation of the territorial dispute on the day that China put its first aircraft carrier into service.Japan Coast Guard patrol vessels fired water cannons at the Taiwanese ships after the vessels refused to heed warnings not to enter Japanese waters in the morning. Eight surveillance ships dispatched by Taipei to accompany the fishing boats retaliated with water cannons against the Japanese ships.
When ordered to leave Japanese waters, the captain of one of the Taiwanese patrol vessels replied that the ships were operating in Taiwan's waters and engaged in legitimate activities. He also demanded that the Japanese Coast Guard withdraw.
Many of the Taiwanese ships were flying banners demanding that Japan hand over the territory to Taiwan, which knows the chain as the Tiaoyutai. Further clouding the issue, China lays claims to the isolated islands and calls them the Diaoyu.
Coast Guard officials in Okinawa, which administers the islands, said there were no reports of any injuries in the clashes.
All the vessels had left Japanese territorial waters before midday, although monitoring aircraft have since identified a further six Chinese patrol ships sailing just outside the area around the islands.
China's top military leaders attended the commissioning ceremony for the aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, at a naval base in Dalian, according to the Chinese Defence Ministry.
The ministry added that the vessel will help "effectively safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests."
The 67,000-ton carrier – started by the Soviet Union before the incomplete hulk was sold to China in 1998 – is capable of carrying as many as 30 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
While it may be relatively rudimentary in aircraft carrier technology, the commissioning of the Liaoning makes China the only nation in East Asia with the capability to project its naval and air power and sends a clear message to its neighbours.
In yet another territorial dispute involving Japan, South Korea refused permission for a Japanese warship taking part in a joint naval exercise with Korea, Australia and the US to dock at one of its ports.
Tokyo has lodged an official protest with Seoul and a Japanese diplomat quoted by the Sankei newspaper in Tokyo described the decision as "extremely rude."
South Korea and Japan are disputing the sovereignty of two small islands that lay halfway between the two nations and are known as Dok-do in South Korea, which has stationed a unit of armed police on the islets.

|Common Name:
|Mexican Red-rump
|Year of Discovery:
|Mexico and Central America
|Tarantula World:
|New World
Their Natural Habitat:
|Opportunistic burrowing species. Scrubland and grassland, burrowing under rocks and in abandoned rodent burrows.
|This species is considered to be docile. My experience and reports I read are that these are a bit skittish, but not hair-flickers or defensive. However, please keep in mind that though species have their stereotype temperament, individual spiders can exhibit temperaments that vary significantly from the norm.
|Classified as medium growth rate, but my experience is that vagans is one of the fastest-growing species of the genus Brachypelma. 6.5 inch diagonal leg span.
Experience Level:
|60°- 85°F. I keep mine between 80° and 85°F.
|50 70%. These are a scrubland species so they do well with lower humidity, but they do appreciated moist hides or burrows once in a while. I moisten my girl's substrate around her water dish and in her hide/burrow periodically.
|Any enclosure from 5-10 gallon will work. Provide a hiding spot, a flower pot or wood bark can be used. Be creative, there are lots of different ways to make a hide for a Tarantula. Artificial plants are optional. When keeping this species in a larger enclosure make sure to add enough substrate to prevent any injuries from a potential fall. The rule of thumb for terrestrial tarantulas and climbing to allow them no more than 1 ½ their diagonal leg span in height. This species will dig burrows, though mine mostly just expands her hide with some burrowing, so a nice layer of about 4 + inches will allow for plenty burrowing room. Mine has a cork-bark half-round that she does use some, but mostly loves to sit on top of. She has webbed the entire floor of her enclosure, including the top of her hide.
|Eco Earth or Peat Moss, you may make a mix of Vermiculite and Peat Moss (75/25), though from my experience, Peat Moss does cultivate molds very easily. Avoid any Evergreen woods (Cypress, Reptile Bark) inside of the enclosure. Evergreens contain natural insecticidal oils that can harm your Tarantula if exposed long enough. Also keep in mind that this species likes bone dry substrate, but make sure they have a source of water.
|Crickets, meal worms, waxworms, super worms, Blaptica dubia or Blatta lateralis roaches. Please do not offer wild caught prey, as it may contain pesticides (and potential parasites) which can harm or kill your Tarantula. Also never feed your tarantula kingworms (giant meal worms) as these are mealvworms that have been fed juvenile growth hormones to prevent them from maturing so they grow bigger. JGH are a common insecticide and would not be good for your invertebrate tarantula! (I received this from a personal conversation with a cricket/worm breeder near me). Furthermore, crickets and roaches are the best nutrition for tarantulas, and mealworms and superworms should be fed as treats, not as a staple.
|Make sure to offer a water bowl, the size should be half the size of the species. Do not use any sponges, cotton balls or paper towel (which can all help cultivate bacteria) or water crystals inside of water bowl, just clean water. Small rocks may be added. Clean the water bowl once a week or when you feel it is necessary. Crickets or roaches may end up dead in the water, in which case you should clean it right away. Spiderlings are too small to have a water bowl, misting one side of the enclosure wall 1-2 times aweek, should be plenty enough. Your tarantula will often fill the dish with substrate, or even poop in it, but continue to provide clean water. Also periodically moisten the substrate on one side of the enclosure, allowing that to dry out completely to prevent mold growth.
|Females can live up to 15-20 years, while males may live 7 years.
Maturity female:
|2-6 years depending on how often they are fed and how warm their enclosure is kept.
Maturity male/ Tibial Apophysis:
|1.5-2.5 years, which is only an estimate. / Yes, on first set of leg.
Communal Setup:
|Not recommended for this species.
Color Markings:
|The B. vagans tarantula is a stocky tarantula, with velvety black on the legs, abdomen and underside, and bright red highlight hairs on the abdomen. The carapace is lined with a thin, pale coloration in adult females, while even this is black in mature males. This is a striking and beautiful tarantula. Colors are most vivid immediately after a molt, but can fade considerably between molts as adults.
Special Note:
|B. vagans can be found in Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico. It has also established a population in Florida, likely due to released pets. They can be found in deep burrows. These tarantulas are moderately easy to breed. Females lay cocoons containing roughly 100-300 eggs two months after mating. Nymphs hatch some 8 weeks later.
B. vagans is a striking tarantula because of the deep black legs and abdomen and bright red highlight hairs on the abdomen. A must for any collection. This species is also easily confused with other red-rumped Brachypelma species from Central America, namely B. angunstum and B. sabulosum. I understand angunstum has reddish highlight hairs on it legs, particularly on the rear legs, and is fiestier than vagans. I have read some musings that these may in fact all be differing breeds of one species, but for now, they are listed as three separate species. I did own a lively, but not aggressive Red-rump I strongly suspect was not a true vagans. She would play with a small stream of water squirted into her tank (very amusing), was the flickiest tarantula I ever had, and had subtle but real differences in appearance from the vagans I now own (which is every bit of the description I read about).
Make sure never to keep a Tarantula enclosure directly in the sun. No light is necessary for your Tarantulas habitat. Natural lighting is perfectly fine.
For more information on this beautiful species, check out the fan club page here: http://www.tarantulasus.com/showthre...ump)-Fan-Club!
CITES List
|These are not on the CITES II list, but captive-bred specimens are available.

Wrestlemania! (oh, and Opening Day, too)
So I hopped in my car and started heading to Detroit, completely oblivious of the mayhem I was about to encounter: a traffic jam for Wrestlemania. I had to zig-zag my way through downtown Motown to avoid the wall of cars making their way to Ford Field. Finally, though, I reached Comerica Park in time for Toronto's workout.
Alas, there was more talk of Wrestlemania at the stadium than of actual baseball. Toronto manager John Gibbons was reminiscing of the time way back when, when he went and saw Wahoo McDaniel wrestle. Roy Halladay simply laughed when a reporter asked him if he was a wrestling fan.
No news is good news, though. The hour-long workout went just fine with players taking BP, playing catch, and doing the always important shagging of fly balls in the outfield. Everyone's healthy and looking forward to Opening Day.

DOC vs. Tigers: Halladay has faced Detroit 12 times in his career, going 10-2 with a 1.85 ERA, but hasn't faced them since 2004. Of Detroit's projected starting nine, only Granderson and Polanco have never faced the pitcher. The other seven batters have combined to hit .233 (21-for-90) against Halladay. Pudge Rodriguez leads the way, posting a .556 (10-for-18) average against Doc.
BONDERMAN vs. Jays: Detroit's starter has gone 2-1 with a 3.27 ERA in six career games against Toronto. In 2006, he went 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two starts versus the Jays. Toronto's starting nine have combined to hit just .188 (12-for-64) against Bonderman. Overbay and Zaun are each 0-for-6 against the righty. Wells leads the way with a .417 (5-for-12) average against Bonderman.
That's all for now. I'm getting together with a friend of mine tonight to take in the Cardinals-Mets opener. I, for one, am glad Spring Training is in the rearview mirror and the regular season has arrived. Let the games begin…

I just wanted to point out though it doesn't seem right. Pudge Rodriguez is 10-18 against the jays but that means that he accounts for all the his anybody has ever hit against halladay so that means the rest are a combined 0-80 which is pretty good by my books.
CORRECTION: I switched it in the post, it should've read that the 7 Tigers who have faced Halladay are 21-for-90. So, 10 of those hits belong to Pudge and the other 6 guys with experience against Doc have gone 11-for-72 — a .153 average.
Great win yesterday. I was at work and couldn't get any radio reception to listen to the game so I was following it using MLB's Gameday application. Even with that I was on the edge of my seat. I must say I was very impressed with Casey Janssen holding the Tigers' in check while they were countering with Joel Zumaya on the mound.

Liberty News
Veteran broadcaster retires from lead role at Victory FM
After 33 years at the helm of Liberty University's WRVL Victory FM, Jerry Edwards recently announced his retirement from his position as general manager. Edwards' last day was Jan. 31.
Edwards came to Liberty in 1980 to attend Liberty Bible Institute, for what he assumed would be just two years. He was offered a temporary position at the new radio station in 1981 and eventually became host of "The Morning Full of Music" show.
Edwards' son, Mark, production director at Victory FM, credits his father for growing Victory FM from a single, 50,000-watt station to a regional network with 25 full-power and translator stations.
"My father's main role was building the network to what it is now, where you have coverage over most of Virginia and a large portion of North Carolina," he said.
Another important part of Jerry Edwards' work was reaching out to students interested in broadcasting and offering them hands-on opportunities as board operators, disc jockeys, or summer interns. Edwards considers this ministry to students and their careers the principal accomplishment of his time at Liberty.
"To have had some input into their lives and have given them some direction and a lot of encouragement and a love for the industry would probably be one of the proudest things that I've done," Edwards said.
|President Jerry Falwell, Jr. shakes Jerry Edwards' hand at a retirement celebration for the longtime Liberty University broadcaster on Feb. 17.
Edwards also played a central role as the "Voice of the Flames" for the Flames Sports Network for 29 years and was inducted into the Big South Hall of Fame in 2012. He stepped down from that role in 2010.
President Jerry Falwell, Jr. expressed his gratitude for Edward's commitment to the university and Victory FM during a retirement celebration on Feb. 17.
"Jerry Edwards is one of the heroes who helped make Liberty University what it is today," he said. "Not only did he faithfully serve as director of WRVL-FM, he donated countless hours for over 29 years serving without pay as the play-by-play radio announcer for both home and away games. He spent the last seven years of his career at WRVL adding translator stations that expanded the coverage area of the radio station to most of two states. The multi-million dollar investment by Liberty to buy the translators has already been recouped by the station. Jerry is loved and respected for his humility and his positive upbeat attitude. We are forever grateful for his sacrificial service to Liberty University."

The TicketCity Bowl is shaping up to be a who's who of scandalized universities. Penn State obviously is still most disgraced, but after losing over 40 percent of its assets in a potential ponzi scheme, a foundation that endows athletic scholarships for the Univeristy of Houston is at least putting forth an effort.
According to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Houston Athletic Foundation has over $2.2 million of the $5.1 million worth of assets listed in its most recent filing with the IRS invested in bonds that never existed. "The foundation's losses are among the most notable in a scheme that allegedly defrauded more than 100 investors of $39 million, including millions of dollars from several high-profile college coaches."
At the heart of the scheme was David Salinas, a sixty year old "financial adviser for college basketball coaches who committed suicide last summer" with ties to the Houston Athletic Foundations board. Salinas shot himself in his home last July, weeks before the SEC filed suit against him for selling bogus bonds. Before taking his own life, Salinas managed money for Billy Gillispie and Lute Olson, among others.
In addition, Salinas operated a well-known AAU basketball program for high school players, many of whom were recruited by the coaches whose money he managed.
Court and other records examined by The Associated Press show that Salinas was just as closely aligned with the foundation, an organization that annually gives the university a grant equal to 5 percent of its assets to help cover the cost of athletic scholarships.
Salinas was among the foundation's board members when the group was started in 1995, and he remained on the board until his death, records show.
This brings us to, I think, "Exhibit AAZ" in the hypothetical case of College Athletics v. Ethics.
