Q: Why does my profile consist of numbers instead of my username? On Steam, my profile is the following:

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197964085566/

Notice the numbers at the tail end of the URL. While other users also have numbers for a profile like mine, I've seen many others users with their usernames in their profile instead. It makes it a lot easier to link and remember your profile page based on a short username instead of a couple dozen integers.
Why do some users have a username in their profile instead of numbers and vice versa? Is there a way to change this?
I originally thought it was based on the age of the account since I was a pretty early adopter back on January 24, 2004, but I've seen new and old accounts with numbers and usernames.

Update: I've since updated my profile URL so clicking the above link will renavigate to the following:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/johnjon

A: In your steam community profile, click the Edit my Profile link.

One of the headings on the page will be Custom URL:

Once you enter text in this box and save settings, your profile will then be accessible by this URL as well as your current http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/[id]/ URL.

A: Yes, you can change this in your community profile - change the "Custom URL" field to whatever you wish the URL to end with.
Here's the step by step breakdown:

*

*Load the Steam Community website

*Login, if you aren't already, and make sure you're on the "Home" tab

*On the right side, under "Actions" choose "Edit my Profile"

*Click the "Profile" tab if it is not already highlighted

*Change the value for "Custom URL" - the "http://steamcommunity.com/id/" part cannot be changed.

*Click the bright green "Save" button at the bottom


Approaching the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, visitors will see an unusual exhibition - more than thirty modernist sculptures. This original installation is called "Modern Garden"- The first personal project of Damian Ortega in Russia.
Damian Ortega (born 1967 in Mexico City) is a contemporary Mexican artist, widely exhibited throughout the world. His solo exhibitions were held in many major museums in different countries. Ortega is a welcome participant in many contemporary art forums. He lives and works in Mexico City and Berlin.
For his Russian exposition, Ortega chose the logos of various commercial companies and turned them into three-dimensional objects from plywood, concrete and metal. Sculptures are not grouped, but dispersed throughout the square. Such fragmentary placement is characteristic of many works of Ortega.
"Modern garden" is a reflection on sculpture as such and questions of its scale in a public space.
Based on the materials of the official site Museum of Contemporary Art "Garage".


What's the mood like going into the FA Cup as opposed to league games?
It's a good competition and we want to progress and do well. The mood this week has been good, even though it was only a point last weekend. The team spirit was good and potentially we should have come out with more. It's been a good week and we are all looking forward to Saturday.
It's two games unbeaten now, do you feel there is some momentum building?
It depends how you look at it, glass half full or half empty and we are definitely looking at it half full, but one game at a time and baby steps and if we win on Saturday we'd be unbeaten in three. We have picked up good results in the last two so we are looking to get another one on Saturday.
They are a non-league club who will be gunning for you to cause an upset, how much do you have to guard against that?
Yes, it won't be an easy game, we all know that we'll be in for a fight. We'll have to be bang at it to get anything from the game. It's going to be tough, but we'll be ready to go.
You came back in for Arsenal and kept your place for Mansfield. How tough has the road back into contention been?
It's been difficult not being in the team and when the gaffer came in I found myself totally out of the squad, so I've had to work hard every day and show him I deserve my place in the team. Now I've taken the first step in getting into the team I want to stay there and hopefully results go our way and the team starts picking up and looking up as well.
What's been the key to it, just keeping your head down and working hard?
I spoke to the gaffer early on and since then I've had to keep my head down and work hard every day and bide my time. I will continue to do that and even if I am not in the team I have to work hard and try to improve every day, nothing changes when I am in the team and I'll be doing the same day in, day out.
Fitness wise, how have you found it after not playing much recently?
It's been difficult because I was ill the weekend before I played Tuesday and then Saturday, I have just been building myself up after some food poisoning or a virus, so I think fitness wise I am all right, but it was getting over the illness and I feel good now and my fitness is mine.
You lost some weight and also took a knock in the warm-up before Arsenal, but you were determined to play so has that paid off for you now?
Yes, I was ill Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Then on Tuesday when I had to do the warm-up I tweaked my medial. I was thinking "I am falling apart here!" but I was desperate to play because I hadn't been in the team so been waiting for my opportunity and I needed to do everything I could to take it. Luckily I didn't make it any worse and I got through it, coming out the other side.
You played next to Chris Clements, with Jacob Maddox in an attacking role. What's your job in that midfield and how did you think it worked against Mansfield?
I think it worked quite well and there was a good balance. We all know how good of a player Madds is and he's doing really well at the moment, so hopefully he can keep that up. He can make the difference for us and be the game changer. Me and Clem need to find a mixture and balance of getting on the ball and being solid as well, helping out the defence and give ourselves a base to play from as well.

The IDB also carries out cutting-edge research projects and provides policy-related advice, technical assistance, and training to public and private clients throughout the region.


I am trying something new here on Plot and Theme: "Back on the Big Screen" will be a series of posts focused around familiar films that I had the opportunity to see screened in a theatre. Sometimes I will focus on a single film, but like today I will also use it as a way to comment on multiple films without delving into a full-on review. The first official Back on the Big Screen will showcase two films recently shown in theatres in the last month as a special occasion: The Iron Giant and Back to the Future Part II.
The Iron Giant was back in theatres on September 30th and billed as "The Signature Edition" as a promotional offering to tease the Blu Ray edition with the same name (release date still TBD). As the first feature-length film directed by Brad Bird, I have always loved the emotional strength of this film, and managed to rope my wife into seeing it for the first time with me. For those of you still unaware of this cult classic, it tells the story of a giant Iron robot which crash-lands in a New England town in the 1950's and befriends a local boy. Of course, it is difficult to keep a gigantic iron robot secret for very long, and the film dramatized both the obvious conflict between an alien visitor and the local government as well as the Giant's own self-discovery.
More recently, Back to the Future Part II was shown at our local theatres on October 21st, 2015, as that is the date that Marty and Doc Brown travel to in the film in order to prevent Marty's son from being arrested. Hence, this week in particular has been heavily nostalgic with many Back to the Future references, memes, and reviews posted all over the internets, and we wanted to get in on the action.
First, I am a huge fan of the Back to the Future trilogy, and often include it in discussions of "Greatest Movie Trilogy" for the masterful way in which it blends humor and science fiction, the wonderful characters, and the great plot. But, I must admit that the second entry is my least favorite, and probably the weakest film of the bunch, both in the context as a standalone film and as an entry in the series. Obviously, the only real competitor would be the third entry, as the original is an all-time classic, and I certainly wouldn't begrudge someone preferring part II to the final installment.
Mostly, I came to this conclusion while watching Part II in the theatre and realizing that if I had been capable of watching the film during its original theatrical release with a critical eye, I would hve been rather disappointed (I was only four, so my ability to comprehend films, much less critique them, was rather low). Essentially, though, my argument boils down to this: as a sequel, is Back to the Future Part II closer to Aliens / The Godfather Part II or is it closer to The Hangover Part II? By this, I mean does it further develop our characters in interesting ways, or place them in a brand new setting, or is it content to merely re-hash that which made the original great? And, I think it is pretty clear that while Part II definitely has elements of the former (mostly the actual trip to 2015 which effected the film's current theatrical release), it is mostly an uninspired re-hash.
Put down your pitchforks, as I am not calling this a bad film. On a scale of 1 to 10 it probably sits comfortably at a 7 or simply on the strength of the characters, the concept, and some of the more-inspired plot elements. But this movie hits so many of the same beats that were already touched upon, and often times does so fairly clumsily. Of particular annoyance was the bluntness with which Marty's weakness to being called "Chicken" is handled in this one. Three full times we are treated to the exact same exchange: Marty says "no" to something, is called "chicken", the same musical cue informs the audience that this is important, Marty caves, and then something very bad happens to him. And, just in case we didn't quite understand this particular character flaw, in the sequence taking place at Marty's home in the future we have his mother provide a rote moralization of how this particular character flaw has severely damaged his life. I understand that similar things happen in the other entries, and that is it necessary for Marty's arc to hit bottom so he can understand the value of standing up to ridicule, but we could use with a little more subtlety.
Still, like I said, put all together the Back to the Future trilogy is a wonderful mishmash of comedy and science fiction. I was certainly pleased watching the film on the big screen for the first time in my life, and likely would have enjoyed the experience even more had it been part of a three-film marathon. On the whole, it was great to see the film with an audience and isolated from its brethren, much like movie-goers may have seen it way back in 1989.
Of these two films, I certainly preferred seeing The Iron Giant on the big screen, and it certainly holds up better on this grand scale (some of the CGI for Back to the Future looks a little wonky). Further, I think it just stands as a better film in the abstract, with significantly more heart. Still, both films were great, and I was quite excited that I got the chance to see them in the theatre for the first time.
So, Plot and Theme readers, what films have you seen on the big screen lately that you easily could have just watched at home? What is the best experience you've had seeking out an old film on the big screen, and do you have additional ones planned in the near future? (I know I might be drawn to a screening of The Shining next week, and the wife is stoked to go see My Fair Lady). Chime in below with your thoughts, and keep your eyes peeled for additional Back on the Big Screen entries in the future!

The Swimming Pool – Introduction to the World!
Custom Pool Pros in New Jersey enjoys not only building and designing custom swimming pools but we truly enjoy the history of our craft. In our previous fascinating articles, "Custom Pools in Ancient History – Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3" we discussed how far back our knowledge of pool building has gone in known human history. But in this article we want to look at more recent times, say the last few hundred years of pool influence, designing and history.
One of the most influential times in recent history that had the most impact on modern pool building occurred in Greece in 1896. This was the first year the world celebrated the modern Olympic Games in Athens. Ironically it took the influence again of the great Greek civilization to bring back one of the favorite pastimes of the ancients. During these games the news went around the world that athletes representing 13 nations had competed in an incredible swimming spectacle.
The winner of the event was Alfred Hoyos Guttman who is quoted describing the event, ""I won ahead of the others with a big lead, but my greatest struggle was against the towering twelve-foot waves and the terribly cold water."* Battling these brutal elements Guttman went on to receive the very first Gold Medal in swimming, thus sparking a worldwide interest in swimming as a sport and the mass wave of construction of swimming pools throughout the world. Today we see Olympic sized swimming pools in nearly every public school, university, gyms and community centers. You could say that all these pools have a direct line of influence to the very first modern Olympic Games in Greece!
One might wonder why this particular event drew so much attention and why I would write about it having so much of an influence on pool building but it's easy to back up when you see just how many pools and where they were built immediately following these games. In the USA huge public swimming pools popped up all over the East Coast. In 1907 The Racquet Club of Philadelphia PA, for instance, built one of the very first aboveground swimming pools.
Aboveground swimming pools are still popular to this day and Custom Pool Pros in New Jerseyspecializes in every type of pool you can imagine! This same year a beautiful ship known as the RMS Adriatic (2nd) was built for the White Star Line, this ship had the distinction of being the very first ship with a swimming pool built onto it. It became the main focus for social activities while it traveled across the Atlantic between Europe and the United States. Now we all know that a cruise ship today wouldn't be caught dead without a swimming pool! Interesting side note to the White Star Line is that the next class of ships built during this time were actually called "Olympic Class Liners," one being the infamous Titanic!

Mike Pence rallies GOP supporters in Waukesha, takes a jab at Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett
Bill Glauber
WAUKESHA – Vice President Mike Pence resumed his Wisconsin roadshow Tuesday with some tough words on law and order and a jab at Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett during a campaign rally at Weldall Manufacturing.
Speaking to hundreds of people gathered outside the Waukesha facility, Pence declared: "We saw cities in Wisconsin, Kenosha, Milwaukee beset by violence and destruction. The truth of the matter is, though, Joe Biden would double down on the policies that have led to violence in America's cities."
Pence said when "you withdraw support from those who protect and serve, you only embolden those who do harm to our families and communities.
"I mean, it's no surprise Milwaukee has literally seen a 110 percent increase in homicides all while Milwaukee's Democrat mayor has called for cutting 120 police officers."
Pence did not mention Barrett by name. The mayor announced the police cuts as part of what he called a "sobering" 2021 budget proposal.
During an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Barrett said the vice president's criticism was a "cheap shot," and added that the Republican Legislature in Madison "is trying to starve local government and make it difficult for us to fund our public safety and other concerns."
He encouraged the Trump administration to work with Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, on funding solutions as well.
"The vice president should contact Speaker Pelosi and tell her the administration is in fact willing to help out local governments that are strapped who need additional funds to hire police officers," Barrett said.
Asked if he was surprised that Pence went after him, Barrett said, "I think that they are in the depths of desperation right now, and they are just flailing at anyone they can."
By turns optimistic and slashing, Pence was seeking to rally support where Republicans need it most, in deep-red Waukesha County.
"It is great to be back in the Badger state. And I know this is Packers country with that 4-0 record, and judging by the flags and signs I saw on the way here, this is Trump country," Pence said.
"It's on everybody, three weeks from today and the road goes right through Wisconsin," Pence said.
Some in the crowd wore masks, but there was no social distancing.
Over the last two years, Pence has made frequent appearances across the state, from Marinette to La Crosse. In introducing the vice president, U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil quipped Pence "should be named an honorary Badger."
He even spoke at school choice event at the state Capitol in Madison.
And back in 2017, Pence toured Weldall, a large fabrication manufacturer.
But in the closing weeks of the 2020 race, the vice president is playing an especially important role for President Donald Trump's campaign.
While the president was recovering from COVID-19, Pence took on high-profile events, including the vice presidential debate with Democrat Kamala Harris and several large rallies.
And he has taken the fight to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
During his speech at Weldall, Pence claimed Democrats want to "defund the police and pack the Supreme Court."
He urged those who "cherish faith and freedom and law and order and life," to come out and vote for the president and down-ballot Republicans.
He touted the Trump administration for its role in lowering taxes, cutting regulations and boosting wages.
Pence gave a shout out to former Gov. Scott Walker, who helped him with his debate preparation.
Pence touts conservative justices
He also emphasized the president's role in filling the courts with conservative judges.
Pence lauded Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Pence said "America is seeing the character, the quality and the intellect," of Barrett.
He praised Barrett's Catholic faith and said "these attacks on religious faith must stop and stop now."
"I'll make you a prediction, Judge Amy Coney Barrett will soon be Justice Amy Coney Barrett. We're going to fill that seat," he said.
He also attacked Democrats for "talking about packing the court," and said Biden and Harris aren't answering questions on the issue.
In a television interview Monday, Biden said, "I'm not a fan of court-packing, but I don't want to get off on that whole issue. I want to keep focused. The President would love nothing better than to fight about whether or not I would, in fact, pack the court or not pack the court."
Pence said four more years of a Trump administration means more jobs, more judges, and "more support for our troops and police."
"It's going to take at least four more years to drain that swamp," Pence said to applause.
Now that the president is back on the road, the Trump campaign has stepped up in-person events, dispatching the vice president and Trump family members across the country.
The campaign blitz returned to Wisconsin this week, with Eric Trump appearing Monday in Menomonee Falls and Milton while Ivanka Trump spoke in Hilbert Tuesday.
President Trump will be in Janesville Saturday, with the campaign announcing a 6 p.m. rally at Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport.
Biden has held a persistent lead in Wisconsin, according to the Marquette University Law School Poll. The latest survey showed Biden leading the president among likely voters, 46% to 41%.
The Trump campaign has pushed back on polls showing the president trailing nationally and in key battleground states.
"Our internal numbers, and we're very confident where our numbers are, they continue to show a different story," senior Trump campaign adviser Corey Lewandowski said Monday during a conference call with reporters.
Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield criticized Pence and the Trump administration over their handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
"President Trump has shown a reckless disregard for the lives and livelihood of the American people — and nowhere is that more clear than in Wisconsin," Bedingfield said in a statement. "As coronavirus infections, hospitalizations, and deaths surge across the state, the Trump administration still doesn't have a plan to beat the virus. As voters continue to receive their ballots, Wisconsinites have the power to turn the page on President Trump's failures and chaos."

National Gallery of Canada awards Hamilton Artists Inc. inaugural Lacey Prize
Kate Taylor
One of the oldest artist-run centres in Canada, Hamilton Artists Inc. (the Inc., as it's known) is typical of these small non-profits in providing many artists with their first professional exhibitions.
Glenn Lowson/The Globe and Mail
A visual-arts centre in Hamilton is the first recipient of an unusual new award: The National Gallery of Canada announced Tuesday that Hamilton Artists Inc. is the inaugural winner of the Lacey Prize, established to recognize artist-run centres and small art organizations.
In awarding the $50,000 biennial prize, the jury cited Hamilton Artists Inc.'s role providing its 250-member group of artists with opportunities to explore, take risks and engage critically in the visual arts. Founded in 1975 and one of the oldest artist-run centres in Canada, the Inc. (as it's known) is typical of these small non-profits in providing many artists with their first professional exhibitions.
The purpose of the prize, established with a $1.3-million gift from Dr. John Lacey and his late wife, Naomi Lacey, is to recognize the crucial legwork that the storefront operations do building the visual arts in Canada. It will also provide more dialogue between the National Gallery and the artistic community, NGC director Sasha Suda said in a statement.
Two runners up, Gallery Gachet of Vancouver and Calgary's Untitled Art Society, received $20,000 each while the jury also cited the Struts Gallery in Sackville, N.B., this town is small in Charlottetown, Critical Distance in Toronto and Blinkers from Winnipeg.
"One of the challenges for an artist-run centre like ours is that our aspirations are sometimes larger than our budgets," said Julie Dring, executive director of Hamilton Artists Inc., in a statement. "The Inc. has been quite ambitious lately, and we are eager to continue growing. The Lacey Prize gives us some stability to keep listening and learning."

El  es un género de cine, televisión, videojuegos y teatro en Japón. Literalmente "dramas de época", se establecen con mayor frecuencia durante el período Edo de la historia japonesa, de 1603 a 1868. Algunos, sin embargo, se establecen mucho antes -Portrait of Hell, por ejemplo, se basa en el último período Heian- y la era Meiji temprana también es un escenario popular. Los jidaigeki muestran las vidas de los samuráis, agricultores, artesanos y comerciantes de su tiempo. Las películas jidaigeki son a veces referidas como películas del chambara, o cine de samuráis, una palabra que significa "lucha de espadas", aunque el chambara es más exactamente un subgénero del jidaigeki. El jidaigeki se basa en un conjunto establecido de convenciones dramáticas, incluyendo el uso de maquillaje, diálogo, coletillas y trama especializada.

Tipos
Muchos jidaigeki tienen lugar en Edo, la capital militar. Otros muestran las aventuras de las personas que vagan de un lugar a otro. La larga serie de televisión Zenigata Heiji y Abarenbō Shōgun tipifican el Edo del jidaigeki. Mito Kōmon, la historia ficticia de los viajes del daimyo histórico Tokugawa Mitsukuni, y las películas de Zatoichi y las series de televisión, ejemplifican el estilo viajero.

Otra forma de categorizar el jidaigeki es de acuerdo con el estatus social de los personajes principales. El personaje principal de Abarenbō Shogun es Tokugawa Yoshimune, el octavo shogun Tokugawa. El jefe de la clase samurái, Yoshimune asume el disfraz de un hatamoto de bajo rango, un samurái al servicio del shogun. Del mismo modo, Mito Kōmon es el viceshogun jubilado, disfrazado de comerciante. Por el contrario, el Heiji de Zenigata Heiji es un plebeyo que trabaja para la policía, mientras que Ichi (el personaje principal de Zatoichi), un masajista ciego, un paria, al igual que muchas personas discapacitadas en esa época. De hecho, los masajistas, que normalmente estaban en la parte inferior de la cadena alimentaria profesional, era una de las pocas posiciones vocacionales disponibles para los ciegos en esa época. Gokenin Zankurō es un samurái pero, debido a su bajo rango e ingresos, tiene que trabajar trabajos adicionales que los samurái de alto rango no estaban acostumbrados a hacer.

Si el papel principal es el samurái o el plebeyo, en los jidaigeki por lo general alcanzan un clímax en una lucha de espadas inmensa justo antes del final. El personaje principal de la serie siempre gana, ya sea usando una espada o un jutte (el dispositivo que la policía usaba para atrapar, y a veces para doblar o romper, la espada de un oponente).

Influencias
El creador de Star Wars, George Lucas, ha admitido estar inspirado significativamente por las obras de Akira Kurosawa, y muchos elementos temáticos encontrados en Star Wars tienen influencia del chanbara. En una entrevista, Lucas mencionó específicamente el hecho de que se familiarizó con el término jidaigeki mientras estaba en Japón, y asume ampliamente que tomó la inspiración para el término jedi a partir de este.

The easiest method to get interesting content on your site is article writing, especially when contrasted with the difficulties of uploading photographs, podcasts, presentations, and video. Therefore, selecting your article writing service provider could be one of the most crucial tasks when you are trying to drive more traffic to your site. You can use the articles for SEO and produce those backlinks to your site, which are essential in getting a higher rank in the search engine results to attract more site visitors, and thereby enhance sales and profits. Of course, you could always write your own articles, but this will consume a lot of your time and you will produce the articles slower, compared to the option of hiring an article writing service provider.
Outsourcing your article requirements will help you increase your profits, even if you incur additional costs when buying articles. One of the reasons for this is that writing them yourself will leave you with little time for other important Internet marketing tasks. Doing these important tasks is sure to enhance your sales and profits. Another reason is that a professional article writing service provider would permit you to submit more articles in the same amount of time that you write them yourself. More articles mean more interesting content, more backlinks that drive visitors to your website, and the improvement of the position of your website in search engine results.
However, before you begin looking for an article writing service provider, it is advisable to ensure that you have thorough knowledge of the writing work that is required, or have actually written some articles yourself. This ensures that you have a reference when you evaluate the performance and quality of the articles from your provider. You will also know the quality of articles to expect and what would constitute a fair price. It is often an error to select an article writing service provider primarily on the basis of their rates. Low-priced articles are very attractive for businesspeople, but make sure that you evaluate their content's quality before you agree to their offer.
After hiring an article writing service company, you will then make sure that your specifications on quality, keyword density, grammar, and other standards are met when you receive the articles. After placing your backlinks with the articles, you can now present your articles to the relevant directories. You will need to ensure that your articles are appropriate for the directory and category, or the administrators of these directories will reject them.


Monday night, I had the pleasure of seeing Amanda Palmer, well known lead singer of the Dresden Dolls, perform a solo show at the Paradise in Boston. To sum my review up quickly, I'd say the show was fun. I had fun. Amanda seemed to genuinely have fun. Everyone in the crowd looked to be having fun. And the fun lasted from the opening acts through the final confetti fluttering notes of "Leeds United."
Part of that was just due to the enthusiasm Amanda had to be back in Boston. She and the other performers played a longer set, including a lot of different songs than what she had played during the rest of the tour, which everyone seemed to eat up. I didn't hear the buzz of conversation during a song like "Ampersand," which is rare at any show at a small club. And everyone was bowled over by the energy she poured out in "Runs in the Family" and "Bad Habit" (still my all time favorite Dolls song).
It was pretty over the top and theatrical, which people might have lost patience with in other towns. But the whole atmosphere felt like a big gathering of all the kids from the high school drama clubs of the last 20 years, and in that sort of environment, all the theatrics felt completely appropriate. The Danger Ensemble and the "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" theme created pure theater. The Boston Globe thought, simply, that it was all a bit much. Everyone can have their own opinion, even if not many people at the Paradise would have shared it.


Can you imagine one who was the gentlest of men, while being the most brave and just of all human being?
We're telling the most beautiful story that was ever told about the most beautiful and merciful of all human beings who ever lived.
And we didn't send you except as a mercy to all of the worlds.
He is the source of guidance, he is the straight path.
He was the best husband to his wife. He was the best father to his daughters. He treated them kindly.
The greatest of the Prophets, the brother of Jesus and Moses, the son of Abraham, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Who never looked down on a popper or flatter once a prince, who called every soul to the One God, without even a flinch.
Before the Prophet (peace be upon him) was granted prophethood, in Makkah, he was known for being truthful and trustworthy.
Angel Gabriel came to him and hugged him in that cave at night and he told him: "Read".
And the person who gave that sense of tranquility to him was his wife, Khadijah.
The prophetic experience began with him in her arms.
Your Lord has not forsaken you nor is He displeased.
If someone has to think about the miracle Islam, the only right answer is the Quran.
Every recitation of the Quran begins with an invocation to the compassion and mercy of God.
The Quran gives us a bigger picture. It, in fact talks about faith. It talks about having a trust in God Almighty.
It tells us how important it is for those who are established in the Muslim community to help their less fortunate.
If you read the Quran, the word that's repeated the most is God (Allah), almost 3000 times.
The Quran is the book that you communicate with Him because, in fact, you're communicating with yourself.
When people yelled and lost their cool around, he was calm. He asked forgiveness for his enemies even as they did him wrong.
One of the amazing individuals in our history was persecuted.
She was the first human being to give her life to Islam. She was Islam's first mother, and her name was Sumayyah.
If you can imagine how difficult that must have been for him to publicly being ridiculed by his own family.
Muslims, in the past, have always used these periods of difficulty as a spiritual opportunity.
Within his company felt light and sacred cheer and there was not a living in the creation that he feared.
The Prophet Muhammad had an amazing quality and that he was more concerned about the quality of life with an individual as opposed to the quantity of the individuals that he was affected.
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud was the sixth person to accept Islam. This is an individual without whom we wouldn't have the complete Islam today.
He, like many others who converted to the faith, still having lived an entire life, they had relatives, friends, a life that had so much coming into the religion.
Reflect for a moment on the idea that the companions could talk to the Prophet about whatever was going on in their life, for better or worse, and that they were met with that beautiful open prophetic heart.
Why Can't We Have a New Prophet Today?

One of the recurring themes in non-Mormon biographies of President Brigham Young is the idea that he was not a very "spiritual" man. Such interpretations, however, not only misrepresent his character, they also totally disregard the evidence, both published and unpublished, that refutes such a stereotype. For example, throughout his life Brigham Young had personal experience with many of the divine gifts of the Spirit.
In his role as apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ it was Brigham Young's right to receive revelation for the benefit of the Saints.
On this occasion the power of the Spirit was so great upon Brother Young that many in the audience testified later that he was transfigured before their eyes.
And so he had. During the more than forty years of his apostolic ministry, he had led the Saints through proselyting, mobbings, sufferings, emigration, privation, and colonization, to the security of settlements, chapels, and temples in the mountain west of America. On 29 August 1877 Brigham Young lay on his deathbed. His last words were: "Joseph! Joseph! Joseph!" The friendship of two prophets, seers, and revelators was about to be renewed.

Q: How make clang-tidy apply FixItHints sequentially, one after another? I'm writing clang-tidy check that will move comment in right place like that:
Before:
/// comment 1
void func();
void func2(); /// comment 2
void func3(); /// comment 3

After:
/// comment 1
void func();
/// comment 2
void func2();
/// comment 3
void func3();

I'm trying to remove /// comment 3 and then insert it before void func3();.
But at first clang-tidy-check should read comment before void func3();. Check reads /// comment 2 because /// comment 2 doesn't have time to removed.
How make tidy-check apply fixes in the order in which methods are found?

A: One simple (or stupid?) trick comes to mind - make your clang-tidy check apply only one fix at a time (i.e finish processing the code after one place to be fixed is matched). Then write a simple python script that would run clang-tidy over and over with your check enabled until it has something to process.
You can get inspired by run-clang-tidy.py but yours would be much simpler of course.

Christmas was God's most successful setback. He has always delighted to show his power through apparent defeat. He makes tactical retreats in order to win strategic victories. Joseph was promised glory and power in his dream (Genesis 37:5–11). But to achieve that victory he had to become a slave in Egypt. And as if that were not enough, when his conditions improved because of his integrity, he was made worse than a slave — a prisoner. But it was all planned. For there in prison he met Pharaoh's butler, who eventually brought him to Pharaoh who put him over Egypt. What an unlikely route to glory! But that is God's way — even for his Son. He emptied himself and took the form of a slave. Worse than a slave — a prisoner — and was executed. But like Joseph, he kept his integrity. "Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow" (Philippians 2:9–10). And this is God's way for us too. We are promised glory — if we will suffer with him (Romans 8:17). The way up is down. The way forward is backward. The way to success is through divinely appointed setbacks. They will always look and feel like failure. But if Joseph and Jesus teach us anything this Christmas it is this: "God meant it for good!" (Genesis 50:20).
Divinely appointed setbacks will always look like and feel like failure. Think back and recall a time when this was true for you. What seemed like a failure at the time? What was the end-result?
What did God teach you through that setback? Are you different now because of it?
We as Christians struggle with short-term memory loss. We so often forget how God came through, how God's promises still stand. Pray right now for your faith to be strengthened as you've reflected back on a time God has come through for you in the past.
And so we'll end with this: Is there something going on right now that just so might be a divinely appointed setback?

One Mile Under: A Ty Hauck Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, 1, 784min
In New York Times best-selling author Andrew Gross' propulsive thriller, set amid the drought-stricken oil country of Colorado's beautiful high plains, Ty Hauck makes his long-awaited return rallying beaten-down farmers and ranchers against a giant energy company in a deadly confrontation involving murder, retaliation, and cover-up. Leading a tour down the rapids outside Aspen, Colorado, whitewater guide Dani Haller comes upon the dead body of a close friend. Trey Watkins' death is ruled an accident. Finding evidence that seems to back up her suspicions that it wasn't, she takes her case to Wade Dunn, the local police chief and her ex-stepfather, with whom she shares some unresolved history. Wade insists the case is closed, but Rooster, a hot air balloon operator in town, claims he saw something from the air she should know. When he suddenly dies in a fiery crash, Dani threatens to take her suspicions public, goading Wade into tossing her in jail. When an old friend contacts Ty Hauck and says his daughter is in trouble, he doesn't hesitate to get involved. Together the two step into a sinister scheme running deep beneath the surface of a quiet, Colorado town that has made a deal with the devil to survive. But in the square off between giant energy companies and beaten-down ranchers and farmers, one resource is even more valuable in this drought-stricken region than oil - water. They both will kill for it. One Mile Under is a thrilling rapid run of hair-raising twists and unforeseen turns set against one of the most provocative environmental issues of our time. 1.

James can see through her front, and he doesn't know whether to be amused or pissed. He understands she's running scared, her fear of loss making it hard for her to fully commit, but there is no way in hell he's going to allow this to continue; he's going to push her to confront her fears until she happily embraces their ever after. 1.

How to Build a Girl , Hörbuch, Digital, 1, 571min
What do you do in your teenage years when you realize what your parents taught you wasn't enough? You must go out and find books and poetry and pop songs and bad heroes - and build yourself. It's 1990. Johanna Morrigan, 14, has shamed herself so badly on local TV that she decides that there's no point in being Johanna anymore and reinvents herself as Dolly Wilde - fast-talking, hard-drinking gothic hero and full-time Lady Sex Adventurer. She will save her poverty-stricken Bohemian family by becoming a writer - like Jo in Little Women, or the Brontës - but without the dying-young bit. By 16, she's smoking cigarettes, getting drunk, and working for a music paper. She's writing pornographic letters to rock stars, having all the kinds of sex with all the kinds of men, and eviscerating bands in reviews of 600 words or less. But what happens when Johanna realizes she's built Dolly with a fatal flaw? Is a box full of records, a wall full of posters, and a head full of paperbacks enough to build a girl after all? Imagine The Bell Jar - written by Rizzo from Grease.

Soon to be a motion picture! The New York Times bestselling author hailed as "the UK's answer to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all rolled into one" (Marie Claire) makes her fiction debut with a hilarious yet deeply moving coming of age novel. What do you do in your teenage years when you realize what your parents taught you wasn't enough? You must go out and find books and poetry and pop songs and bad heroes-and build yourself. It's 1990. Johanna Morrigan, fourteen, has shamed herself so badly on local TV that she decides that there's no point in being Johanna anymore and reinvents herself as Dolly Wilde-fast-talking, hard-drinking Gothic hero and full-time Lady Sex Adventurer. She will save her poverty-stricken Bohemian family by becoming a writer-like Jo in Little Women, or the Bröntes-but without the dying young bit. By sixteen, she's smoking cigarettes, getting drunk and working for a music paper. She's writing pornographic letters to rock-stars, having all the kinds of sex with all kinds of men, and eviscerating bands in reviews of 600 words or less. But what happens when Johanna realizes she's built Dolly with a fatal flaw? Is a box full of records, a wall full of posters, and a head full of paperbacks, enough to build a girl after all? Imagine The Bell Jar written by Rizzo from Grease. How to Build a Girl is a funny, poignant, and heartbreakingly evocative story of self-discovery and invention, as only Caitlin Moran could tell it.

Intermittent Fasting: Burn Fat Extra Fast, Gain Muscle and Live Longer , Hörbuch, Digital, 1, 42min
Mankind has been fasting for centuries and throughout history. Sometimes, the fasting wasn't exactly a voluntary activity. In the hunter gatherer communities, mankind could go for long hours or probably days without food. Fast forward to the time when man started having organized religion. Fasting is a religious activity that has been in practice for thousands of years; many religious organizations or groups such as the Christians, Muslims and even the Jewish incorporate fasting as part of their religious activities. For instance, it is not surprising to see a Muslim going on 40 days fast in preparation for the Ramadan. While fasting has, for a long time, been associated with the lack of food and religion, the practice of fasting is now taking a different direction. People are now fasting for a different reason. For instance, in recent times, fasting now supersedes a religious activity. It has come to be known as a health boosting activity. So what's the difference between that and starving for days without food as we see happening in some poverty stricken parts of the world? Well, the difference is that there is a way of fasting that makes you attain these benefits; you just don't go without food for days then expect to be healthy! So how do you go about fasting in a good way to obtain the different benefits? The most popular type of fasting that serves as a boost to health is known as the intermittent fasting. This book will serve as a master guide on how to achieve optimal health with intermittent fasting. It will cover various aspects of intermittent fasting such as the clear definition of the term intermittent fasting, health benefits and challenges associate 1. Language: English.

Heath Ledger: His Beautiful Life and Mysterious Death , Hörbuch, Digital, 1, 442min
Young, cocksure, handsome and absurdly talented, Australian actor Heath Ledger shot to prominence with his first Hollywood film "10 Things I Hate About You": and a star was born. With huge charisma and smouldering looks lighting up the screen in a series of subsequent films, Heath was soon established as Hollywood A-list, dating a series of beauties such as Heather Graham and Naomi Watts, and living every young man's dream. But it was his award-winning and controversial role as Ennis Del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain" that cemented his place in the pantheon of acting greats - he was one of the youngest people ever to be nominated for an Oscar. And it was on the set of this film that he fell in love with his co-star Michelle Williams. Though the relationship wasn't to last, the couple had a daughter in 2005. With the world at his feet and a film-stealing turn in the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight", in the can, there was worldwide shock and disbelief when the news broke that he had been found dead in his New York apartment on 22 January 2008. Prescription drugs, found next to his dead body, were thought to be the cause, but mystery surrounded the circumstances. Was it an accidental death? Or were the pressures of life in the spotlight too great to bear? What is certain is that this young man, who touched the lives of so many people, leaves behind a grief-stricken public and family, including a two-year-old daughter. This is the tragic story of the brilliant actor whose light shone so brightly but all too briefly upon the world. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Sinfield.

Detailed data published on first hospitals in Keogh Review
Detailed data about the first four of the 14 hospitals involved in the Keogh Review into mortality rates have been made public.
Professor Sir Bruce Keogh's national review team has analysed information from across the NHS about all of the 14 hospital trusts who were identified in February as having had higher-than-expected mortality rates for more than two years. This data has been used to develop the key lines of inquiry that are being explored by the regional Rapid Responsive Review teams, which began their site visits this week.
The data packs and key areas for investigation for Basildon and Thurrock NHS Foundation Trust, the Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust, North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust, and Medway NHS Foundation Trust, have ben published on the Keogh Review pages of the NHS Choices website.
Sir Bruce, Medical Director of NHS England, has appealed for patients and staff to play their part by sharing their experiences of care in the hospitals under review, either in a series of "listening events" that are being held as part of each hospital's Rapid Responsive Review or by e-mail, phone or post. Details of how you can get involved are available on the dedicated web pages.
He said: "I hope everyone, as a user or potential patient of the NHS and your local hospital, will get involved with my review of mortality rates.
"I am delighted that this data has been made public, because openness and transparency is vital to ensuring high-quality care in our hospitals. I hope patients and staff will take a good look at the information available. They are the people behind the data, and their views will be absolutely critical in helping our review teams get the complete picture of how each hospital operates.
"Publicly-available data is really important, but it is never the end of the story. None of the information published today can, in itself, tell us whether any hospital is doing anything wrong. The information acts as a warning light or smoke alarm – the review teams' job is to investigate, diagnose whether there is a problem, and write the prescription for improvement wherever necessary."
Review visits, which will each last two to three days, will be carried out at the remaining 10 Trusts in May and June, and similar data about these Trusts will be released in due course. Trusts will also receive an unannounced visit after their planned review visits.
Sir Bruce was asked personally by the Prime Minister to lead the review into 14 Hospital Trusts whose mortality ratios have shown higher-than-expected rates for the past two years, following the publication of the Francis Report into catastrophic failures at Mid-Staffordshire Hospitals.
Iain Leggett says:
This is a surface skimming investigation, it certainly hasn't gone in-depth re ULHT and complaints, not from the dead as they obviously can't answer, but those of us that could have been and since left in totally disabled situations. A white wash if ever there was one.

A Georgia high school teacher lost her life on Saturday after a car she was driving collided with a vehicle carrying two students from her school, the New York Daily News reports. Both parties were en route to the school prom, where O'Brien was going to be a chaperone.
Leah O'Brien, a teacher at Lakeside High School in Decatur, was traveling with her 8-year-old daughter and making a turn when a car coming the opposite way hit her vehicle. The 33-year-old died on the scene, and her daughter was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition, 11 Alive reports. The teens in the other car, a 19-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman headed to Lakeside's prom, did not have life-threatening injuries.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Ms. Leah O'Brien. The entire Viking nation is grieving the loss of one of our best," the electronic sign outside the school read on Monday, 11 Alive reports.
According to the news station, O'Brien was a family and consumer-science teacher and a dance team sponsor. She was part of the teacher-development program, working with students interested in teaching as a career.
"She built that program up from … small, two or three kids interested in it, to a thriving program because of her energy and enthusiasm and her passion for education," Lakeside Principal Jason Clyne told the news station.

Warsaw blocks EU-Russian Negotiations on Cooperation Pact
POLAND - The press has recently focused on Russia's relations with the European Union over natural gas issues. But Moscow has been playing diplomatic hardball with former Warsaw Pact member Poland over meat imports.
In response, since late 2006 Poland has blocked the initiation of talks on a new Stability and Cooperation Pact between the EU and Russia, and there is no resolution to the impasse in sight. The Polish opposition is the first occasion that one of the ten new states that joined the EU in 2004 has blocked such an important EU agreement. The trade issues underlying the dispute are significant, as the EU supplies Russia with up to a third of its meat.
Russia's envoy to the EU Vladimir Chizov said, "The Poles are still linking their veto on talks with the meat imports issue. The subject will be addressed this week. If they (the experts) are satisfied (with Polish measures), we will take all necessary steps to resume imports of meat and meat products from Poland" (RIA-Novosti, January 15).
In November 2005 Russia banned Polish meat imports, alleging that Polish shipments violated Russian veterinary regulations amid health concerns. A year later Russian President Vladimir Putin said that while Moscow had problems with Polish meat imports per se, it was concerned about third party meat imports transshipped through Poland to Russia. Warsaw sees the Russian action as thinly disguised retaliation for its supports of neighboring Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution, which replaced the pro-Moscow government of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych with the Western-oriented administration of Viktor Yushchenko.
Russia has also harshly negotiated with the European Commission over a proposed trade memorandum concerning EU meat, dairy, and fish exports to Russian by threatening to ban EU imports because of concerns over animal health in Bulgaria and Romania. Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU on January 1. European Union health and consumer protection commissioner Markos Kyprianou placated Moscow by agreeing in the interim to exclude Bulgarian and Romanian meat products from EU exports to Russia. The stakes are substantial, as EU-Russian trade in 2006 reached $2.2 billion.
On January 15, following a meeting with Polish Agriculture Minister Andrzej Lepper, Kyprianou told journalists, "We have to be realistic. It's a complex issue and there is a possibility that it cannot be resolved at just one meeting"(RFE/RL, January 17). The EU currently provides Russia with almost 80% of its beef imports and 50% of its pork imports (BBC, June 7, 2004).

One of the biggest live gig and festival draws for a hard rock band, Slaves made three appearances at last month's at the Great Escape 2015. Shows at Coalition down by the seafront Friday reviewed by me here and at the Corn Exchange early Saturday night were followed by the irrepressible duo closing out the proceedings Saturday night at the VEVO UK stage, hosted this year at Wagner Hall. In the videos below, you can feel like you were there to witness all the action, as VEVO UK have shared live footage of 'The Hunter' and 'Hey' with all of us. Watch and enjoy them below.
Slaves' debut album 'Are You Satisfied?' is out this week on Virgin EMI.
Some 9 odd years after their debut appearance at the emerging music festival in Brighton, the Cribs reappeared at the Great Escape 2015 to do some damage Friday night at the VEVO UK stage, hosted this year at Wagner Hall. Following on from the social consciousness of George the Poet and closing out the second night of the 10th anniversary of the event by the sea, the Jarman brothers did what they do best: tore through an hour-long set of old favourites and newer ones from their latest album 'For All My Sisters' (reviewed by Chris here). 'Pink Snow' has a bit of a sinister, wonky melody, and while it wouldn't have been my choice for the song to end their set, along with all the other songs they played in Brighton that night, it was rapturously received by their fans. Watch the performance below.
For all TGTF's past coverage on the Cribs, including the Wakefield brothers' appearance at the VEVO UK stage as reviewed by me, go here.
Part 1 of my coverage from the Great Escape 2015 on Saturday is this way.
So after getting my brains beaten in by a band from Cardiff, I was expecting for something a bit different at Patterns downstairs with Landshapes. However, when I arrived at the venue, there was a brief lull, and then an epileptic fit of strobes accompanied with throbbing beats. Uhhh, I don't think this is Landshapes? (I was informed later that due to another band pulling out of the lineup, all the acts were going on a half-hour early. If you're keen on Landshapes, you're in luck, the London band was on Marc Riley's 6 Music show Thursday night.) I realised quickly that I was now watching Le Galaxie from Dublin, which was fine by me because I was in the mood for some real electronic after a so far real dance-less Saturday at the Great Escape 2015. While Carrie covered the band at the full Irish breakfast at SXSW 2015, I am pretty sure the stars aligned on purpose so I would be at Patterns at that very moment to catch them.
Most dance music runs to one theme, love: how to get it, how to keep it and what to do when you lose it. With enough dB in the background to keep your heart pulsating. Having a charismatic frontman is paramount. In the case of Le Galaxie, Michael Pope knows how to shake what his momma gave him. It is not what you expect from a hulking Irishman with an epic beard; he looks more like he should be playing with Fleet Foxes, not fronting an electronic band. (I didn't see the tattoos that are apparently also a trademark of his.) Watching him shake his arse and show off his fancy footwork in front of a Brighton crowd absolutely loving it was quite the sight to see. 'Put the Chain On' was a banger, the song that sticks out in my mind because the band was so on point. I think that was one of several where Pope took his microphone and went straight to the barrier to commune with the fans. Another big one was 'Lucy is Here', a darker, older but still goodie track. This is exactly the kind of band I expect would have an amazing – and deservedly so – draw at a festival like Ultra. It's not just synths and buttons pushed. Pope and co. make sure everyone is included in their dance party, and it's an unforgettable experience.
Next on my hit parade for Saturday night was Young Kato, who I've been following since their early days. They've now released their debut album on Republic of Music this month, 'Don't Wait 'til Tomorrow', which has been a long time coming, and I couldn't be happier for the lads. Their show at Shooshh would be their crowning moment at the Great Escape 2015, where they would show off their new tunes and bring out the older ones for devoted fans. 'Drink, Dance, Play', which always ends up being a ridiculously fun exercise in jumping up and down, yelling and screaming the chorus, never disappoints, and it sure didn't disappoint in Brighton. The vibrancy of the uber optimistic 'Sunshine', the title track of their autumn EP last year, closed their set out on a high note. Onward and upwards, lads!
Even though it was a little chilly to me, the dry weather was nice in Brighton, which means there were queues at most venues thanks to eager punters everywhere you went in the city. The Spiegelpub and Spiegeltent area around hub of transit activity The Old Steine was a new one to me, but I was very intrigued with the premise: being inside it was very much like being at an outdoor festival, which means if the weather is good, it's fantastic, but if the weather's crap, every man for himself.
After getting some cheesy fries with loads of mayonnaise and feeling like an idiot for eating them with a fork (hey, I still had to take photos, yo!), I entered a Moulin Rouge-themed area where Keston Cobblers' Club would be playing. I have my favourite songs off their debut album 'One, for Words', and hoped I would hear them. One of the catchiest tunes off their debut, 'Your Mother' is a unique one, with horns and banjo joining the fray, the band's lush harmonies sounded beautiful against the instrumentation. The group also showed off some new songs from their upcoming second album 'Wildfire', which will be released in June.
Sadly, I was drowned out for the request for a slower one by the rest of the crowd, which in the end is fine because I would have preferred them to gain new fans than to make one music editor happy. The crowd was in the mood to dance or to be more accurate, to stomp. While I was stood in the front of them, it quickly became a square-dancing hoedown, punters pleased with the up tempo gaiety their songs provided them on a mild night by the sea. At one point, I was sure I was going to be stamped to death, as everyone was so boisterously stomping their feet on the wood floor of the Spiegeltent. All's well that ends well, though: after their set was over, new fans rushed like the dickens to the front to buy their CD. A job well done, then.
I had been thinking for a long while how I wanted to end my Great Escape 2015 experience and after a friend had disappeared from me post-Keston Cobblers, I decided my original plan was best. I rushed quickly back up Brighton's hilly streets to the Green Door Store, the site of my most epic fail at the Great Escape to date. Two years ago, at the same crowded venue, I got nowhere near the front so I could hear Teleman but could not actually see them. This time, I wasn't about to be denied. I was a little pushy but was never rude and by the grace of god, I finally saw a clearing and was down the front for Stockport's Blossoms, who I'd enjoyed at the BBC Introducing stage at SXSW 2015. I think it was a pleasant surprise for the band to see me, as they didn't even know I was at the festival.
Watching a middle-aged man in sunglasses (remember, it was nearly midnight by this time, and dark) and a leopard print shirt, grooving to Blossoms, that image from this year's event will definitely stay with me. He was clearly feeling and breathing in their psychedelic pop vibes, as were many down the front. Kitted out with their new shoes courtesy of stage sponsor Dr. Marten's, the five-piece were on point. I still don't know what 'Blow' means, it probably has some rude explanation that would make me blush, but for some reason I really connect with its sound, and I admit I have played the video for the song a few too many times on YouTube, Tom Ogden's vocal line in the chorus is just about perfect, and bloody hell, you must be a stone if Josh Dewhurst's guitar solo doesn't bring you to near tears.
Afterwards, I went to go thank the lads for a hell of a set. We all hugged and they asked me, "when will we see you again?" Ha. I couldn't cry then. It'd be too embarrassing. But I hated knowing I was going home the next day. But hopefully that reunion with them and everyone else I met up with in Brighton will be sooner than later. Fingers crossed.


I was looking at post from an old Forum Topic and after reading it and going to the links (which are no good) about why you can't be a reseller i guess i am a bit confused.
i myself and my company would also like to become a reseller which i assume you can do.
I only say this because Walmart, Best Buy, Target and other places like that seem to be resellers or are they simply buying their Vonage items from other stores and reselling them.
Have even seen Voange products at Flea Markets in very very large quanities.

The New York Sharks Bite Again
Football is one of the fastest-growing professional sports for women athletes in the United States, expanding from a grand total of only three teams in 1999 to more than 100 across the country in 2004. The New York Sharks, a member of the Independent Women's Football League, is currently home to 50 female football players from the tri-state area – and they're ranked tops in the country!
It was at the commencement of their 2002 season that I first learned about the NY Sharks and, for that matter, that there were women playing tackle football right in our own backyard. Contrary to what some may think, the NY Sharks is a team made up of mothers, lawyers, construction workers, police officers, and students – not just a squad of 50 hulking Amazons or, even more dismissively, just "a bunch of dykes."
Though hailing from all walks of life, each teammate shares a passion for football. The players pay to play, to the tune of more than $1000 each, to contribute to the cost of the team's expenses. This diverse group of strong women's enthusiasm for competition and teamwork showed brilliantly in 2002, when the undefeated Sharks won the National Championship.
The team is owned by Andra Douglas, 45, who also plays on the field, and was named 2004 Female Athlete of the Year by the Nassau County Sports Commission. After purchasing the team in 1999, she brought on Crystal Turpin, who as general manager (and also a football player) is responsible for running the day-to-day business side of the Sharks. Turpin also organized the Sharon Pascale mini-camp, named for the Sharks' late teammate who was killed in a car accident in 2001. The camp teaches football and basketball skills to girls aged 7-17, proving that the Sharks believe in supporting sportsmanship and community on – and off – the field.
Some of the Sharks have been teammates for more than a decade, extending to an era when women were only allowed to play flag football. Turpin, a receiver, is one of them, and most of the teammates have backgrounds in college athletics. This season, Douglas (#7) takes the position of kicker after several seasons as a backup quarterback. She had been a place kicker on the Florida State University rugby team, where she brought them to two national championships, one owed to her winning kick in overtime. When a rookie kicker happened to miss a Sharks practice session, Douglas realized that her legs were still in fighting shape.
This year, Douglas has hired a new set of coaches and is welcomimg back many committed players from last season. Lori DeVivio (#22), Lynn Lewis (#56), Dana Donahue Sparling (#81), Kimberly Bishop (#78), Lakisha Grant (#36), Kathy Holloman (#1) and Donna Spilotras (#60) all were out for the 2003 season, some due to injuries, but they are returning to the action this year. Incidentally, Douglas is the oldest "Sharkie," while 19-year-old veteran Theresa Schirrippa (#3) is the youngest.
The NY Sharks are set to conquer the competition in their fifth season. Home games will be played on the football field of August Martin High School, 156-10 Baisley Blvd., in Jamaica, New York. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. For more information, visit the NY Sharks' website at nysharksfootball.com
