Brad Lincoln, Jeff Locke, Rudy Owens Not Worth Clearing Space For
By Charlie Wilmoth Oct 16, 2011, 2:01pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Brad Lincoln, Jeff Locke, Rudy Owens Not Worth Clearing Space For
PITTSBURGH, PA - SEPTEMBER 06: Brad Lincoln #32 of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitches against the Houston Astros during the game on September 6, 2011 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)
Right now it looks like the Pirates have four pitchers in their rotation: Charlie Morton, Jeff Karstens, James McDonald and Kevin Correia. As you know, I have a preference about who the fifth should be, and we don't necessarily need another post about that person. But I would like to mention one of the arguments that has come up repeatedly in those threads, which is that the Pirates don't need another starter in part because they have guys like Brad Lincoln, Jeff Locke, Rudy Owens and Justin Wilson at the Class AAA level.
I'm not a big fan of these arguments, for two reasons. The first is that, even with the addition of a fifth guy (whether that's you-know-who or someone else) the Pirates already are giving one rotation spot to a replacement-level player in Correia, and another to Charlie Morton, who will have had an offseason surgery that has a long recovery time. There will be opportunities for the Class AAA guys to get starts.
Second, there's the separate question of whether giving starts to these guys is a prima facie good thing. Now clearly, if one of them starts performing really well in the International League for a couple months, the Pirates should clear space for them, and given the position the franchise is in, it would be ridiculous if they didn't. If Rudy Owens starts terrorizing Class AAA batters, we can all call for him to be promoted, and that includes me. Unfortunately, though, Owens had 71 strikeouts in 112.1 innings at Class AAA last year. He did pitch pretty well in July after struggling through May and June, but at this point, he has done little to show he would do anything but get pounded at the big-league level.
As for Wilson, it's not even clear that he's a starter at this point. He has control problems, so the Pirates tried him out of the 'pen at the end of the year. He continued to have control problems there, but he was throwing really hard, so the Pirates might continue using him as a reliever, where he has fantastic velocity for a lefty. Regardless, he had 94 strikeouts and 67 walks this year, which isn't the mark of a player who will be able to help as a big-league starter right away.
Locke pitched pretty well at both Class AA and AAA, but his stuff is unimpressive, and no one thinks he's likely to become more than maybe a middle-of-the-rotation guy in the long term. Also, he only has 28.1 Class AAA innings to his name, and he walked twice as many as he struck out in a small sample in the big leagues. More time at Class AAA might actually help him at this point, and there isn't yet a strong indication that he can step into the big-league rotation and succeed.
And then there's Lincoln. Of the four, Lincoln's performance record most strongly suggests he can survive in the big leagues. But he'll be 27 in May and has never had much success in the majors. He's been competent at Class AAA, but unspectacular. If he has to take some starts for the Pirates, that's fine with me, but he's certainly not good enough to consciously clear a spot for, or at least he hasn't been so far.
The Pirates will need depth this year. Lincoln will almost surely get his chances, and if Locke and Owens perform well, there will be space for them too. But these are not Grade-A prospects. In fact, in the cases of all except Lincoln, they haven't even shown they're ready for extended shots in the Pirates' rotation. Let them prove themselves first. Even with the addition of another pitcher, the Pirates' current rotation is weak enough that the Class AAA guys will get plenty of opportunities. If one of them emerges as a legitimate big-league starter, we'll know.

We just heart reading Two Cents to find out what people on the streets of the Bay Area think about a wide range of local, national, and international topics.
The best comment of 2007, in our opinion, came from Rosey W. of Walnut Creek. The question was, "What do you want the next president to do about the federal law on marijuana use?"
(Medical) marijuana use should be banned! Lives can be saved now. We need to help our people lead a productive life without aid from drugs that are addictive.
We of course think Rosey's words speak for themselves (although we're left wondering what Rosey thinks about non-medical marijuana). But to further illustrate Rosey's point, please view this memorable clip from the educational and informative Reefer Madness.
This, kids, can happen to you.

Well, we had better hope not. High unemployment combined with a terrible state credit rating. For the umpteen millionth time, evidence that high taxes and heavy regulation don't actually work. I'm not sure a flat tax is inherently "fairer," in the way that most people use the term. But it would probably do a better job of rewarding the right traits of entrepreneurship, insight, and competence, with economic success, which amounts to the same thing.

12 Low-Budget Films Made For Less Than $1 Million
Claire Epting Published: July 10, 2020
Searchlight/Miramax
To the average person, a million dollars is a lot of money. But when it comes to filming a major motion picture, a million dollars is a drop in the bucket. The truth is, a typical modern blockbuster (anything in the Avengers or Star Wars arsenal) takes upwards hundreds of millions of dollars to make. And yes, that's a fair investment when your profits are in the billions, but most movies aren't playing anywhere near that ballpark.
In the movie-making business, it takes money to make money, right? Well, not always. You might be surprised to learn that these big name films had humble beginnings. Here are twelve films that were made with a budget of less than a million dollars.

Five young people on Queensland's Sunshine Coast have been hit with more than $6,000 in fines over a noisy party overnight.
Police said the group was using a room at a hotel in Maroochydore.
Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll said the hotel reported the gathering to police.

"Five local people have decided to book a room at a hotel and have a party," she said.
"Thankfully the management of that hotel contacted police, and all five people have been issued with an infringement notice.
"That is an example of reckless and blatant disregard for what we are trying to achieve here.
Coronavirus questions answered
Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast podcast.
"So can I please ask, and I should have to ask all the time, that people actually do comply with the rules."
Each person was fined $1334.50 for breaching directions given by Queensland's Chief Health Officer.
Acting Superintendent Jason Overland said the group was "wilfully, recklessly and selfishly" ignoring the rules.
"These young people claim to have no knowledge of the pandemic or the directions to maintain social distancing," Superintendent Overland said.
Your questions on coronavirus answered:
Will Australia have a second wave of coronavirus?
How many people have died from coronavirus?
Can children pass on the coronavirus disease?
He said after a month of reminding the public of the need for social distancing, the incident served as a warning that police would be handing out fines and punishments to those who break the rules.
This morning Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said a further nine Queenslanders had been diagnosed with coronavirus since yesterday, taking the state's total to 943.

How many species are on Earth? Untangling a difficult question
A total of 1.3 million species have so far been identified but many more live on the planet.
by Fermin Koop
in Environment, Feature Post, World Problems
With the most recent studies estimating there are 8.7 million, knowing how many species are on Earth is one of the most important questions for scientists but also one of the most difficult to answer.

Current estimates range from the whopping one trillion species on the planet to the much lower 5.3 million. A massive difference, which actually starts with the disagreement among biologists on what the term species actually means – with at least 50 definitions to choose from.
A conventional definition says two organisms belong to the same species if they can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. But this has been challenged, as the concept can't be used to define asexual organisms and also ignores that many living things we consider separate species can interbreed.
At the same time, researchers have so far been unable to count all life forms on the planet. A large number live on places that can't be accessed by humans, so what scientists do is look for patterns in biodiversity and try to estimate the total number of species.
US entomologist Terry Erwin did one of the first studies, back in 1980. He sprayed pesticides into the canopy of trees, with 1,200 species of beetle falling to the ground. He concluded there are 30 million species on Earth, assuming each tree species had a similar number of beetles that beetles make up about 40% of insects.
But the figure has been repeatedly challenged, with later estimates arriving at figures under 10 million. In 2011, scientists used a technique based on patterns in the number of species at each level of biological classification to arrive at a much lower prediction of about 8.7 million species
"Knowing how many plants and animals there are on the planet is absolutely fundamental," said Bob May, a zoologist at the University of Oxford, UK. "Without this knowledge, we cannot even begin to answer questions such as how much diversity we can lose while still maintaining the ecosystem services that humanity depends upon."
Classification and distribution
Despite the disagreement on the number, what's clear is that there's a long way to go until completing the catalog of species, with the risk of not discovering all of them before they face extinction.
Scientists have so far named and cataloged 1.3 million species. How many more species there are left to discover is a question that has hovered like a cloud over the heads of experts for centuries.
Researchers constantly find new species, at a rate of roughly 18,000 per year. For example, in Los Angeles experts found 30 new species of scuttle fly living in urban parks, while also in the US more than 1,400 new species of bacteria living in the belly buttons of university students were found.
The main group of species is animals, which represent 76% of all known species, according to the classification system of Margulis and Schwartz. Within animals, arthropods are the group with the most species, with about 1.2 million species – one million of which are insects.
Plants represent 17% of the species studied, with about 292,000 species. These include four large groups: angiosperms (87% of species), gymnosperms (0.3%), ferns (4.3%) and bryophytes (9%).
Drives of change
The fact that many species haven't been discovered yet is faced with a difficult reality. Human activities are causing a decline in many of them, with several reports now warning over an age of mass extinction of species in the land and the ocean.
The expansion of agriculture is largely to blame, as abusive use of pesticides is causing the death of many inspects that are key for pollination. At the same time, the use of more land is leading to the destruction of large areas of native forest, displacing species from their habitats.
Exotic species also present difficulties for biodiversity. When a species is introduced in an area where it's not native, it competes for space and resources with native ones. This can harm local species and even displace them, having an invasive behavior. The number of many species has been reduced because of this.
Climate change is also to blame. It alters the habitats and conditions in which species leave, forcing them to move to new locations that are in line with their climate patterns. WWF estimates most species will have to move 1,000 meters per year to keep within their climate zone.
Hunting and exploitation of animals can also play a big role in reducing the number of species, a practice that remains in many countries. The same occurs with the trade of exotic species and collecting or capturing animals with supposedly curative properties, leading to the decline of many species.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list is an annual report on the global conservation status of plant, animal and fungi species and assesses the extinction risk of a species should no conservation action be taken.
According to its most recent update, there are more than 28,000 species threatened around the world. That is a 6% increase from 2018 when 26,840 species said to be threatened.
Species are assigned to one of eight categories of threat based on whether they meet criteria linked to population trend, size and structure, and geographic range. They are listed as critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable.
The new report classified 6,127 species as critically endangered, meaning they are one step away from global extinction. This is up from 5,826 species last year. However, the IUCN says this may be due to greater efforts at assessing species.
In line with these findings, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) report found in May that a million animal and plant species are threatened with extinction, many within decades.
"This Red List update confirms the findings of the recent IPBES Global Biodiversity Assessment: nature is declining at rates unprecedented in human history," said Jane Smart, Global Director of the IUCN Biodiversity Conservation Group, in a public statement. "Decisive action is needed at scale to halt this decline."

Many seniors feel that making friends at their age is hard. Everyone seems too busy with their own lives to spare much of a thought for anyone else. If the children have left home, feelings of loneliness can be even more intense. On top of that, opportunities to meet new people become rarer after 50. However, if you're feeling lonely, know that you're not the only one. Your situation is not hopeless and there are many ways to meet new people. Here is our best advice for making friends when you are over 50.
The problem when you're isolated is that you seem to lose your social skills and forget how to interact with other people. However, even if you don't go out as often as before, there are still plenty of ideal occasions to start a conversation with strangers. You still go grocery shopping, receive mail, get gas from the station or take the bus. The postman, the baker, the grocer, the person queuing in front of you - all of them are potential friends. Why not start a conversation with them? They might be interesting and fun. And even if, eventually, your efforts don't lead to a friendship, you can still mark it down as excellent practice for the future!
Remember how much easier it was to make friends when you were a child and at school? Well, why not kill two birds with one stone? Meet people and learn new skills at the same time by taking a class (painting, cooking or computing, it's up to you!).
You could also make the most of your interests and join a book club or a walking group, if this is what you enjoy doing. Starting a conversation with strangers is always easier within the context of a smaller group, even more so with people who share the same interests.
If you enjoy using social media such as Facebook, why not try contacting your old friends again? Catch up on each other's news, chat a little and fix a date to talk about old times! If you are not on any of the social networks yet, consider registering, as this is a great way to stay in contact or meet people. You could also join online groups for people over 50 looking for friendship. There are plenty of them!
Another idea is to search for friends on a dating website. For instance, on 2seniors.com, you can find people living in your area. You're able to read their profile to see if you share the same interests. And if you think you could be friends, send them a message and start chatting with them!
It's incredible how much easier it is to start a conversation when you're traveling. Perhaps this is because you're more relaxed (and therefore, more receptive), and so are the people you're meeting. On top of that, the solo travel market is huge. It's the same for the senior travel market.
You'll notice straight away that fifty plus people are everywhere, whether they are participating in organized/escorted tours, boat cruises, holiday clubs… The thing is that most people over 50 love traveling. Discovering the world is definitely the best way to make new friends.
Another great way to meet people is to volunteer for an association, your local community, a charity shop or church. It depends on how much you want to get involved, as well as your interests. Check on the internet and in your town to see what you could do to be useful and help others. There are so many options available!
If you are a grandparent and your grandkids don't live too far away, why not pick them up from school or take them to the playground? You'll have plenty of opportunities to spark up a conversation with other adults, and perhaps with other grandparents. Ice breakers are easy - just talk about your grandchildren and ask them questions about theirs! If you go there regularly, you'll probably start to see the same people over and over again and enjoy the chance to get to know each of them a little bit better.
Keep your phone close and be ready to take it out of your pocket to write down your new friends' numbers. If you've met someone interesting, be brave enough to ask them for their contact details and the opportunity to see them again. You have nothing to lose and if, finally, nothing comes of it, it's really not a big deal.
Someone needs to take the first step, right? Pluck up the courage and take the initiative! Whether it be the other seniors at the book club, some nice people you met on a cruise or the friendly man that was sitting next to you on the plane, be bold and invite them for dinner, to see a play or to a garden party. It's up to you!

These two ladies are besties and they jus happen to be expecting little wee ones at the same time! Kat is expecting any day now, and Gillie just had her little man! I will be documenting the birth of Kat's surprise baby, and I CAN NOT WAIT!!! Birth is BY FAR my favourite thing to photograph. But the maternity sessions before hand, are so super fun!!
So for Kat's maternity session we went for a walk with Gillian before heading back to Kat's place, where things got a little saucy! Boudoir sessions, are so much fun, especially when you're pregnant! I know some women feel incredible, but I remember all too well how unsexy I felt the bigger I got, and the truth is, even though you may feel so, you absolutely look radiant! You should really embrace that borrowed body with a photoshoot!


It was a dream to photograph this newborn baby girl. Penelope was so content which made it so nice to transition from family to sibling to various prop poses. I just adore this peachy color for her setup. To start the session when there is a sibling, I tend to do family and sibling shots first. This is so to take advantage of the little ones attentiveness to my direction of posing. And so that once we are done, they can run off and play or occupied by the parents while I finish the session with their new baby brother or sister. After family shots, I typically keep the baby wrapped however they were for those poses and transition them directly into a bowl, crate or on the beanbag. Once the baby is in a deep slumber I can quickly move from one pose to the next with simple changes ultimately giving the final gallery an assortment of looks. For Penelope's session, we worked with soft peachy corals and neutrals. These colors work so well for little girls.
These newborn photos are stunning! I love that they had the whole family there for some shots as well. You did a fabulous job as their Williamsport pa photographer!
Penelope is adorable! You did such an amazing job as her photographer. Do you have a studio in Williamsport pa?
What a sweet little doll. Do you have a studio in Williamsport, PA? I would like to book you as our photographer. I will send you a quick message.
What a beautiful baby and a beautiful family. The people of Central PA are lucky to have such an amazing photographer!!!
These are perfection! Williamsport is so lucky to have a newborn Photographer like you. I will be sending all my friends your way!


Sherri Ybarra wins GOP primary in pursuit to secure second term as Idaho's superintendent of public instruction.
Ybarra won Tuesday's primary against challenger Jeff Dillon, a superintendent from Wilder. She must now clear November's general election.
Ybarra narrowly won the open state superintendent of public instruction seat in 2014.
Boise teacher Cindy Wilson has won the Democratic primary in the race to become the next Idaho schools chief.
Wilson secured the Democratic nomination Tuesday against opponent Allen Humble. She must now clear the November general election.
Wilson was appointed by Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter to the Idaho Board of Correction in 2015. She was also part of Otter's education task force that sought improve the state's public school system -- which resulted in a five-year plan to boost teacher pay.
She is a longtime American government teacher who has taught in Boise, Orofino and Pierce.


The flytip dumped at Brocket Hall in June 2018 is still there. Picture: Supplied.
The clearup effort is now estimated by Brocket Hall manager Michael Longshaw to cost in excess of £150,000-£200,000.
The flytip, which spans across acres, was first spotted in June last year.
"We haven't started the clearup as we're still waiting for the results of quotations," he explained.
"We're in discussion with our insurers and we've got the area secure," he said, adding that concrete blocks now prevent vans from accessing the hole in the fence at the layby on Marford Road, through which the flytippers accessed the woodland.
"We won't be able to clear it until the layby is closed so we won't be able to do much possibly into the spring," he said.
He also explained that the wet weather also impedes work.
In the meantime, passers-by continue to be shocked by the scale of the flytip.
One walker, Glenn Wylds, was so surprised that he shared a Facebook video last week of the scene, starting by pretending to knock on a door he found amongst the rubbish.
Opening the 'doorway' he reveals the scene and continues to describe it with bittersweet humour.
Meanwhile, the Environment Agency (EA) investigation into the flytip continues.
The EA visited the site soon after the dumping last summer.
"Since then we've been reviewing the evidence that we've picked up," said spokesperson Peter O'Connor, describing how officers scrutinise the rubbish for letters, receipts, or other materials that could identify building companies and customers.
The bigger investigation, titled Operation Angola, is spread across London, the Thames Valley, and down into Surrey.
Mr O'Connor urged members of the public to contact the EA if they have any information about the waste dump, by calling for free on 0800 807060.

O Wildnis! (Originaltitel Ah, Wilderness!) gilt als bekannteste Komödie des späteren Literaturnobelpreisträgers Eugene O'Neill. Seine Weltpremiere hatte das Stück am 2. Oktober 1933 am New Yorker Broadway, unter anderem mit George M. Cohan als Mr. Miller, Elisha Cook als Sohn Richard und Gene Lockhart als Onkel Sid. O'Neill war ansonsten vor allem für seine düsteren Dramen und destruktiven Zeichnungen von Familien bekannt, etwa in seinem berühmten Drama Trauer muss Elektra tragen, das er direkt vor Ah, Wilderness! geschrieben hatte. In diesem Stück überwiegen trotz kritischer und trauriger Untertöne insgesamt die positiven Aspekte des Familienlebens.

Im Mittelpunkt steht die Familie Miller, die im Neuengland des Jahres 1906 lebt und den Fourth of July feiert. Richard, der belesene und idealistische Sohn der Familie, begehrt gegen die Lebensvorstellungen in der Kleinstadt auf. Nachdem sich seine Freundin Muriel zeitweise von ihm trennt, geht er in eine zwielichtige Kneipe und hat dort eine Begegnung mit einem leichten Mädchen. Schließlich kann er sich allerdings mit seiner Freundin versöhnen und auch sein Vater gibt ihm wertvolle Ratschläge. Wie in vielen Dramen O'Neills spielt aber auch die Alkoholsucht eine Rolle, so bei Richards Kneipenbesuch und in der Figur des alternden Onkel Sid. Dieser findet wegen seiner Alkoholsucht kein eigenständiges Einkommen und kann daher schon die seit langem von ihm geliebte Tante Lily nicht heiraten.

Die titelgebende Zeile Ah, Wilderness! entspringt dem von Edward FitzGerald übersetzten Rubaiyat von Omar Chayyām, einem der Lieblingswerke von Richard. In diesem heißt es:
A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread—and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness—
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!

Adaptionen
Ah, Wilderness! ist bis heute ein vielgespieltes Stück in Dorf- und Regionaltheatern der USA, wurde aber auch schon mehrfach für den Film adaptiert.
 1935 produzierte Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer unter Regie von Clarence Brown die Verfilmung Ah, Wilderness!. Der Film hielt sich relativ nah an seiner Vorlage und war erfolgreich. Es spielten unter anderem Eric Linden als Richard, Lionel Barrymore und Spring Byington als Mr. und Mrs. Miller sowie Wallace Beery und Aline MacMahon als Onkel Sid und Tante Lily.
 1948 fertigte Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer selbst eine Neuverfilmung unter Rouben Mamoulians Regie an, diesmal in Farbe und mit Musicalnummern. Die Hauptrolle des Richard spielte Mickey Rooney, der in der Erstverfilmung den schalkhaften jüngsten Sohn der Millers gespielt hatte. In weiteren Rollen waren Gloria DeHaven als Muriel, Walter Huston und Selena Royle als Mr. und Mrs. Miller sowie Frank Morgan und Agnes Moorehead als Onkel Sid und Tante Lily zu sehen. Der Film war allerdings ein Flop, der der Nachkriegskarriere von Rooney einen Dämpfer versetzte.
 1959 drehte Robert Mulligan eine Fernsehverfilmung, an der unter anderem Helen Hayes, Burgess Meredith und Lee Kinsolving mitwirkten.
 Ebenfalls 1959 entstand in der BRD ein Fernsehfilm unter Leitung von Harald Braun mit Dieter Borsche, Carola Höhn, Günther Lüders und Carla Hagen.
 1959 kam auch eine Musicalversion des Stückes namens Take Me Along an den Broadway, mit Musik von Bob Merrill und einer literarischen Bearbeitung durch Joseph Stein und Robert Russell. In der Uraufführung spielten Jackie Gleason als betrunkener Onkel Sid, Walter Pidgeon als Vater Miller und Robert Morse als Richard Miller. Gleason wurde für seine Darstellung mit dem Tony Award als Bester Hauptdarsteller in einem Musical ausgezeichnet.

A study of around 5,000 older men has shown that stressful life events such as death of a loved one, or serious financial problems, significantly raised the risk of falls in the year following the incident. The research is published online today in the journal Age and Ageing.
Dr Howard A. Fink of the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis and colleagues conducted a study of 5,994 community-dwelling men over the age of 65 who were enrolled in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) study in six locations across the United States. 5,125 participated in a second study visit and answered questions on stressful life events in the prior year. A further subset of 4,981 men reported complete data on falls for one year after the second visit.
During the second visit, participants were asked their marital status, and if widowed, their spouse's date of death. They were also asked to report occurrence of any of the following stressful life events: serious illness or accident of wife/partner; death of other close relative or close friend; separation from child, close friend, or other relative on whom the participant depended on for help; loss of pet; given up important hobby or interest; serious financial trouble; move or change in residence. Following the second visit, the participants were contacted every four months for one year regarding falls or fractures. Any fractures were confirmed by central review of radiography reports. Overall response rates exceeded 99%.
Among the 4,981 men with complete stressful life event and falls data, 27.7% fell and 14.7% fell multiple times during the year after visit two. Among men who reported stressful life events, falls occurred in 29.9% of cases where one type of stressful event had been reported; 35.5% of cases with two types of stressful events, and 39.9% of cases where three or more types of stressful life events were reported.
In age-adjusted analyses, any stressful life event was associated with a 41% increase in risk of fall, and a nearly two-fold increase in risk for multiple falls in the following year. However, there was no statistically significant increase of risk for fractures.
In the paper, the authors discussed possible reasons for this association. One potential explanation, based on previous studies, is that stressful events trigger a neurohormonal response, causing stress hormones to be released, leading to falls and other adverse health events. Some data suggest that inflammation – a potential indicator of physical stress – could lead to a loss of muscle mass and impaired physical function. Or it could be that sudden emotions, triggered by a stressful event, could impact balance or visual attention, leading to a fall.
The study does have some limitations: because the recall of stressful life events and fall were self-reported, they could be susceptible to error. Secondly, self-reported events may not be equally stressful to all participants, and no data were available to estimate participants' resiliency.

The Greatest Name of Allah – In the Names of Allah
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
There is no doubt that the attributes of Allah are different with regard to their meanings. The attribute of power is not the same as the attribute of might, which is not the same as the attribute of knowledge. No rational person would say that they are similar to one another in terms of meanings. We will explain that further below.
Secondly:
The belief of Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah concerning the names of Allah is that they are the same in that they refer to His Essence, may He be glorified and exalted, and are different with regard to their meanings.
To explain that further, we say: His names al-Qadeer (the Powerful), al-'Aleem (The All-Knowing), al-'Azeez (the Almighty), al-Hakeem (the Wise) – for example – all point to one Essence, which is the holy Essence of Allah. So in this regard they are the same and not different. But at the same time, the attributes of power, knowledge, might and wisdom differ from one another. So in this sense they differ from one another.
So the beautiful names of Allah are synonymous in that they refer to one Essence, but the attributes referred to in those names differ from one another.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Allah, may He be glorified, has told us that He is All-Knowing, Powerful, All-Hearing, All-Seeing, Forgiving, Most Merciful, and other names and attributes. We understand the meaning of that, and we can differentiate between knowledge and power, between mercy and hearing and vision; we know that all the names agree in that they refer to the Essence of Allah. Even though they have different meanings, they are in agreement and are the same with regard to His Essence, different with regard to His Attributes.
Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 3/59
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The names and attributes of Allah, may He be exalted, are names in that they refer to His Essence and they are attributes with regard to the meanings contained in these words. In the first regard they are the same because they refer to one Essence, namely Allah, may He be exalted and glorified, and in the second regard they are different because each one has a different meaning.
So al-Hayy (the Ever-Living), al-'Aleem (the All-Knowing), al-Qadeer (the Powerful), as-Samee' (the All-Hearing), al-Baseer (the All-Seeing), ar-Rahmaan (the Most Merciful), ar-Raheem (the Most Compassionate), al-'Azeez (the Almighty), al-Hakeem (the All Wise) are all names of one named entity, who is Allah, may He be exalted, but the meaning of al-Hayy (the Ever-Living) is different from the meaning of al-'Aleem (the All-Knowing), and the meaning of al-'Aleem (the All-Knowing) is different from the meaning of al-Qadeer (the Powerful), and so on.
Rather we say that they are names and attributes because the Qur'aan refers to that, as Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful"
[Yoonus 10: 10]
"And your Lord is Most Forgiving, Owner of Mercy"
[al-Kahf 18:58].
The second verse indicates that the Most Merciful is the One Who has the characteristic of mercy. There is consensus among linguists and the way people understand the language that no one can be called 'aleem (knowing) except one who has knowledge; no one can be called samee' (hearing) except one who has hearing; no one can be called baseer (seeing) except one who has sight. This matter is too clear to need any proof.
Al-Qawaa'id al-Mathla fi Sifaat Allah wa Asma'ihi al-Husna, p. 8
The same may be said about the names of the Qur'aan, the names of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the names of the Last Day. In each case they all refer to one thing – the Qur'aan or the Messenger or the Last Day – but at the same time they differ in that each of these names refers to an attribute that is different from others, so the names carry different meanings.
Thirdly:
The belief of Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah concerning the beautiful names of Allah – according to the correct view – is that they are not limited to a specific number and the same may be said concerning His attributes. Allah, may He be exalted, has names that He has kept to Himself in the knowledge of the unseen with Him, and these names refer to attributes. So His names and attributes are not limited to a specific number.
Among the evidence for this belief is the following:
It was narrated that 'Abd-Allaah ibn Mas'ood said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There is no-one who is afflicted by distress and grief, and says: 'Allaahumma inni 'abduka ibn 'abdika ibn amatija naasyati bi yadika, maada fiyya hukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qadaa'uka. As'aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilm il-ghayb 'indaka an taj'al al-Qur'aana rabee' qalbi wa noor sadri wa jalaa' huzni wa dhihaab hammi (O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your maidservant; my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Qur'aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety),' but Allaah will take away his distress and grief, and replace it with joy." He was asked: "O Messenger of Allaah, should we learn this?" He said: "Of course; everyone who hears it should learn it."
Narrated by Ahmad, 3704; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in as-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 199.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The beautiful names of Allah are not limited and are innumerable. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has names and attributes that He has kept to Himself in the knowledge of the unseen with Him. They are not known to any Angel who is close to him or any Prophet who was sent, as it says in the saheeh hadeeth: "…. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You…"
So His names may be divided into three types:
(i) Those by which he called Himself and taught them to whomever He willed of His Angels or others, but He did not reveal them in His Book.
(ii) Those that He revealed in His Book and taught them to His slaves.
(iii) Those that He kept to Himself in the knowledge of the unseen, so none of His creation knows them. Hence the du'aa' says: "You have preserved" i.e., only You know them; it does not mean that He is the only one who is called by them, because the names that are proven to be only for Him include names that Allah revealed in His Book.
Badaa'i' al-Fawaa'id, 1/174-176
Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
It should be noted that the beautiful names of Allah are not limited to ninety-nine.
Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 2/328
See also Majmoo' al-Fataawa by Ibn Taymiyah, 22/482-486
It was narrated that 'Aa'ishah said: I noticed that the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was not in the bed one night, so I looked for him, and my hand fell on the sole of his foot. He was in the mosque, with his feet held upright, and he was saying, "O Allaah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath, in Your forgiveness from Your punishment. I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You enough; You are as You have praised Yourself."
Narrated by Muslim, 486
The attributes – as we have mentioned – are connected to the names. Every name that is proven to be a name of Allah refers to an attribute as befits His Majesty, may He be glorified and exalted.
He (the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated that praise of Allah cannot be limited; if he knew all His names he would know all His attributes and thus be able to praise Him sufficiently, because His attributes are only expressed through His names.
Dar' Ta'aarud al-'Aql wa'n-Naql, 3/332, 333
Some of them thought that the names of Allah, may He be exalted, were limited to a specific number, which is ninety-nine! An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that the scholars are unanimously agreed that the names of Allah are not limited to this number. In the answer to question no. 41003 we have quoted the evidence to show that they are not limited to this number, as well as quoting the opinions of the scholars in refutation of those who thought that the names of Allah, may He be exalted, were limited to this number.
To sum up: the names, attributes and actions of Allah, may He be exalted, have no limit. No one will doubt this who studies the evidence of the Qur'aan and Sunnah, examines the belief of Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah, and bases his belief in the names and attributes of Allah on proper rules and guidelines.

Wyatt destroys anything in his path.
I LOVE Grape Nut Flakes cereal. I can only find it at Bel-Air which means it costs about $5 per box. I decided last time I was there to purchase two boxes so I have ample Grape Nut Flakes at my disposal. Well, that was until Wyatt got into the cupboard that we keep our cereals. He dumped the ENTIRE box of cereal on the floor, not once, but TWICE! Look at his face, total contentment. He wanted it and he got it! Good thing I bought two boxes!
Considering Owen is still learning the art of going potty in the toilet, we haven't engrained in him the need to close the lid and door after he is finished. The rest of us, however, are efficient in making sure the toilet lid and door are both closed after we are done. If we are not aware of Owen going potty, the door and lid get left open, and this happens. It has happened at least three times this week already, and it is only Tuesday! Good thing we get bulk TP from Costco!
PS I won't mention that his hands are wet from sticking them into the toilet and swishing the water around...YUCK!

INFO: I try to be as accurate as possible with my product photos and descriptions. Pictures of products are taking under day light conditions without flashlight.
Please note that colors might vary slightly from one Computer/ mobile phone monitor to another.
My jewelry designs are not machine made - The photo of the item is the actual item you will receive. Small imperfections may occur. It is the character of handmade and not a fault or a reason for a refund.
Metals can develop patina over time if unused, and can be cleaned with a polishing cloth. Sealant might wear off after a while. Bronze ages nicely.
JEWELRY CARE:
You should remove your jewelry before doing any of the following:
Using household cleaning supplies.
Cooking with mustard, onions, eggs, or any other foods that contain sulfur.
Spraying Hairspray
putting on lotion and makeup
taking a bath or shower
Be careful of soft stones like Turquoise, Lapis, Pearl and Opal and many more, as they can be destroyed by contact with acid and harsh chemicals.
About Copper And Bronze:
Bronze/ Copper: these metals may discolor the skin green. It does not apply to everybody but please be aware that this might happen. I do seal all bronze and copper pendants with renaissance wax, but sealing might wear off after a certain time and need to be re-sealed.
Since the tarnishing process is facilitated by the oxygen in the air, it is advisable to keep your copper/ bronze jewelry in a plastic bag to slow down the formation of patina. You can also put an anti-tarnish strip in the bag.
Make sure you wipe your bronze/copper jewelry dry before storing it: Leaving it to dry in contact with the air makes it easier for patina to form.

Tacoma Narrows Bridge
By zed, March 1, 2005 in Washington

Whistle-Stop
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is infamous for collapsing into the water in 1940. A rebuilt suspension bridge was completed in 1950. Today work is underway to complete a second very similar looking span next to the existing span. It is very unusual to see two suspension bridges right next to each other!
Here is a good collection of pictures from the bridge at various times:

Cool, up to this point, I didn't even now a new bridge was rebuilt in its place. Thanks for the update.

As an engineering student, the collapse of the original bridge was shown to us as an example of something that was assumed to be well designed, absolutely failing. Because it took so long there is remarkable film of the oscillations caused by the slight wind that caused the eventual collapse. Apparenty the wind was just right to hit the resonate frequency of the structure.

Been looking of one of these for a while and the price has dropped on Black Friday from a number of stores including the linked CR one, but also including Wiggle, Evans and Wahoo themselves.
I got it from CR as you also get the 10% off with British Cycling membership.
So £170.99 with that extra off and also potentially cashback from the likes of Quidco (may not go through with this BC discount).
Wahoo is breaking the GPS bike computer stereotype! Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 and ANT+ dual-band technology, ELEMNT pairs seamlessly with all of your cycling sensors. No more confusing menus! ELEMNT comes with a free companion app that allows you to set up your data fields, customise profiles, track performance, and share ride data effortlessly.
Plus, programmable LED QuickLook Indicators provide a quick way to see if you're on pace with important performance metrics like speed, cadence and power. Simple to set up, simple to experience, simple to stay connected, simple to navigate, and simple to suffer - the ELEMNT GPS Bike Computer gives you the POWER you demand with the simplicity you expect! Use Wahoo's Planned Workouts feature to stick to a training plan and get the most out of your time on the bike.
Brilliant bits of kit! So far waaaay more reliable than my clunky Garmin 810.
A lot more basic unit mate. This is different league.
However, each to their own.
Ah, yes, I forgot about the "My bike/moped/car/whatever is cheaper than this" fanboys.
Added regular price to title. These Wahoo units don't generally get the same discount as other brands I've noticed. So thought this might be relevant.
Just to add the Wahoo ELEMNT GPS Cycle Computer Bundle is also available for £249.99 with speed and cadence sensors + HRM belt.
Also a good deal if you need the extra stuff.
Amazon just reduced the price to £177.00!!
Cheaper in CR @£170.99 with CAR discount. Nevertheless a great price if not a CR member.
A lot more basic unit mate. This is different league.However, each to …A lot more basic unit mate. This is different league.However, each to their own.
How though.. basic in what way? 530 does all this an includes cadence and heart rate at this price..
It's down to personal choice, gave this a blast but went back to the Garmin 520 quick smart.
It's down to personal choice, gave this a blast but went back to the …It's down to personal choice, gave this a blast but went back to the Garmin 520 quick smart.
Clearly you don't value the turn by turn navigation, superior usability and miles better reliability this offers over your 520.
So I am getting this with the British Cycling 10% discount for the grand sum of £165.42.
I have one, It's way better than my old Garmin.
Don't be put off by the monochrome screen. Colour screens look good in the shop but when you are out in brilliant sunlight and wearing polarised sunglasses colour screens can be a nightmare. It can be very hard to distinguish the difference between your route and track and an A road or motorway. Whereas on the Wahoo your route, track and roads remain totally clear no matter how bright the sunlight is.
How though.. basic in what way? 530 does all this an includes cadence and …How though.. basic in what way? 530 does all this an includes cadence and heart rate at this price..
The mapping limitations are big issue for me. In the end (with quidco cashback) I paid about 20 quid more than the 530 for I believe a much more performant solution.
Don't get me wrong, the 530 seems a good unit for the cash, but I think these units Element (and Bolt) units are much better value - when at these sale prices of course.


How can I replace the touch screen?
I just bought my replacment rear screen yesterday i tried to replace it, but i couldn't remove the original. I could tear down almost totally (i removed even the battery box) but then i stuck. Thanks for any help.
Thanks for your answer, but in the meantime i could replace it, and it solved my problem, now its like i have a new camera. It was tricky with that button cable but i made it work.
Tom - can you please share how you replaced it? I can not figure out how to remove rear lcd without damaging anything and all tear down videos I've watched do not show this being removed.
I just replaced mine last night. it is glued to the black frame and has to be gently pried and re-glued. You may have to transfer the touch screen on/off toggle switch from the old screen assembly if the replacement you bought doesn't have one. Mine didnt so I had to remove and re-solder the button. Takes some advanced skills to do it but it was very quick and easier than I expected. I did crack my front lcd while removing it but it was already broken and needing to be replaced. It is also glued down.
Where did you buy the replacement touch screen?
Tomi H 가/이 대단히 고마워 할 것입니다.

Tiara Brown, MPD's 'Officer Friendly,' Is an Undefeated Boxing Champ
The 30-year-old officer patrols D.C.'s streets by bike, trains before dawn, and wants to show the world she's the best.
by Harry Zahn May 15th, 2019 August 28th, 2020

On a balmy May evening, Metropolitan Police Department Officer Tiara Brown bounces around the ring at Old School Boxing Gym in Fort Washington, preparing for her upcoming title fight. Her dreadlocks are tucked in a purple bandana and quarter-sized hoops dangle from her ears as she executes maneuvers that have become second nature after 17 years between the ropes.
Brown's coach, Marcus Patterson, feeds her encouragement: "Perfect," he says as she bobs and weaves her head under his swinging arms. She churns out fluid combinations, unloading hooks and uppercuts to Patterson's body shield and mitts. "You cannot train a wolf!" he shouts.
The round ends. Brown can't stand still. She paces back and forth.
"You ain't hungry enough to win no title, don't be in the gym," Patterson says during the break.
In a male-dominated sport, Brown is usually the only woman in the gym. "I'm pretty used to it, but I just feel like I always have to prove myself," Brown says. "I always feel like I have to try to outwork the guys."
And she does.
During the heat of the day, Brown patrols the streets of MPD's sixth district, which experienced the most violent crimes and homicides in the city between May 2018 and May 2019. Through community outreach, a bubbly demeanor, and a reputation for respectful interactions, she is affectionately known to residents as "Officer Friendly."
The rest of the time, she is "The Dark Menace," a professional boxer boasting a record of 7-0 with five wins via knockout.
"I'm chasing my dreams," says Brown, 30. "I don't want to leave any stone unturned."
On Saturday, May 18, Brown will attempt to realize one of those dreams when she fights at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in D.C. for the North American Boxing Organization junior lightweight title.
Patterson says he normally doesn't train female fighters, but Brown is different. "She works harder than any man I work with—that's the only reason I work with her," he says.
Brown typically wakes up at 3 a.m. to exercise. Around 4:30 a.m., Patterson receives a video on his phone of Brown running on the treadmill before work. She'll typically patrol the streets on a bike for about 10 hours during her shifts.
After her post-work training session from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., she goes home and gets approximately five hours of sleep before repeating the process.
"There is a sixth gear to Tiara," Patterson says.
Brown was born and raised in Fort Myers, Florida, in an area she calls "a pretty bad neighborhood."
"I remember sometimes I would go to school and a SWAT team would be like two houses down kicking in somebody's door," Brown says.
With this early exposure to law enforcement, familiarity began to breed admiration.
"You see the cops chasing the bad guy that did something [and] I wanted to be a part of that because it's like they're superheroes. They're real-life superheroes," Brown says. "I wanted to be a positive light."
Brown's mother and father split up before she was born. Her mother, Sharon Pointer, then reconnected with a former girlfriend and later married her. Brown's mothers provided a solid foundation for her to flourish and instilled a sense of confidence that she and her two sisters could achieve anything.
But Brown was often bullied because of her family makeup.
"Me and my sisters got picked on a lot. We fought a lot because of that," Brown says. "We were the kids with two moms."
Pointer remembers the bullying took a toll, especially back then. "They went through hell, they really did, and it was hard, but you go that extra mile and you show them that with love you can overcome so many things," she says.
Early on, Brown turned to athletics as an outlet—and excelled.
She dominated school field day events, played for a city basketball team, and occasionally swam. Brown would later attend Columbus State University in Georgia on a full track scholarship. Her cousins, though, were talented amateur boxers. She looked up to them and would watch tapes of their fights.
The sport intrigued her, and Brown internalized the punches, steps, slips, and blocks, even as her cousins beat her up in the gym. Soon enough, that spark of interest grew into a flaming passion.
Tragedy struck in 2010, when Brown's half-brother, Jermaine Thomas, was shot and killed in Fort Myers. Pointer recalls Brown wanted to leave school and come home, but Brown stayed and the loss strengthened her resolve to fight crime.
She also found refuge in the ring and began to dominate the amateur boxing circuit. Brown used a jutting left hook as her weapon of choice, which she says once broke an opponent's ribs. She became a three-time USA National Boxing Champion and won gold at the 2012 International Boxing Association World Championships in Qinhuangdao, China.
"All the pain that I felt actually helped me win all those fights," Brown says.
Next up, she eyed Olympic gold, but in the Olympics, women's boxing is restricted to just three weight classes. Brown, who at that time fought at 125 pounds, had to gain weight to fight at 132 pounds.
She wound up not making it past the Olympic trials.
"I knew I was a shoo-in to go to the Olympics and win gold at my weight," Brown says, "but then, they didn't take my weight so it was like a slap in the face."
Her life turned nomadic for a time as she travelled and competed on the amateur boxing circuit. A few years after graduating from school in 2010, Brown started visiting D.C. during the summer to work as a youth boxing coach and facilitator at the Bald Eagle Recreation Center in Ward 8. There she met a number of local police officers and in 2015, decided to move to Maryland.
After reading the MPD code of ethics, Brown says she made up her mind.
"I started looking up to D.C. police," Brown says, "I wanted to be a part of that because change really starts in the nation's capital."
But across the country, including in the District, tensions have flared between police officers and the communities they serve. Brown occasionally comes across citizens hostile to her uniform, and when she does, she strives for empathy: "The same way you don't want to get stopped just because you look suspicious, don't hate me just because I have on a badge," Brown says. "When I say that to people, it clicks."
For Brown, policing is about putting the community first and giving back.
She's a regular at District Heights Church of Christ, feeds the homeless at Martha's Table, and volunteers at the Humane Rescue Alliance on her days off.
"God planted that seed in my heart and it's flourishing," Brown says. "And I like doing it. It makes me feel good."
Celeste Santana, a master patrol officer who trained Brown, says that Brown was the only officer she knew who would follow up and check in on people afterward to make sure they had the services they needed, especially after domestic violence calls. She would even call to ensure that someone had their locks properly changed.
"Tiara cares about people. That's just her personality," Santana says. "You can't learn that in the police department."

Back in the gym, Brown shifts between orthodox and southpaw stances. She brings her right foot and shoulder forward and turns her body to mirror her usual stance. It's an effort to further polish her craft so she can box left-handed.
On March 19, 2019, just four years into her job, Brown walked across a stage to be honored as MPD's 2018 "Officer of the Year." The city of Fort Myers declared April 16, 2018 Tiara Brown Day, and in May 2018, she signed with major New York-based boxing promoter Lou DiBella.
But Brown's not satisfied. She wants to one day unify all the belts at featherweight, super featherweight, and eventually work her way up to welterweight.
"I'm the best," Brown says. "I want to show the world."


Rockstar announced Red Dead Online today, but we still don't know if it's coming to PC.
We don't know yet if Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released for PC: Rockstar has so far only committed itself to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms. The same holds true for today's announcement of Red Dead Online, "a new online connected experience set against the backdrop of Red Dead Redemption 2." But it's pretty big news, especially given the continued popularity of GTA Online on PC, and so I'm here to tell you about it.
Red Dead Online is "an evolution of the classic multiplayer experience in the original Red Dead Redemption," Rockstar said, with a narrative framework supporting both competitive and cooperative play. It will be playable solo or in groups, and "constant updates" are promised, "to grow and evolve this experience for all players."
It certainly sounds a lot like GTA Online, then (which gives us real hope for RDRO), and Rockstar is therefore also anticipating some GTA Online-style teething troubles, warning that "there will inevitably be some turbulence at launch." To help smooth those potentially rough waters, it will launch first as a public beta in November—after the October 26 release of Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Online, in beta and full release, will be free for all RDR2 players.
