easy to understand

Following was published by the Houston Chronicle. Next one could be worse — and totally unlike IkeNo two hurricanes are alike: What Ike did (and did not) teach us. Southeast Texas is in the midst of a massive recovery operation in the aftermath of Ike. People will learn many lessons from this storm. Some of those lessons will be right and some will be wrong:Lesson No. 1: Now we finally realize how bad a hurricane can be. FALSE. Ike was "only" a Category 2 hurricane. Hurricanes can get much much worse. The 1900 Galveston hurricane for example was a Category 4. Cat 4 storms are unusual but inevitable. Consider the wind damage in your area and then believe what would have happened had the winds been three times more powerful. That's the difference between a Cat 2 and a Cat 4. The damaging power of the wind increases much faster than the wind itself. Even worse the damage is not proportional to the wind power but goes up almost exponentially as the force of the wind increases. Say you lost a patch of roof with Ike. If the power of the wind had been three times as strong you wouldn't have lost three patches of cover you would have lost the whole thing and probably more besides. To imagine the storm blow up from a Cat 4 take the elevation of the land around your house and subtract it from 25 feet. If you've got something left that's how far under water you'd be. If the land slopes toward the Gulf of Mexico add 10 feet of waves to that. If the land is on a barrier island imagine that all that water is moving desire a river. Ike came close to delivering a Category 4 type surge to Houston but the biggest surge from Ike missed Harris and Galveston Counties. Lesson No. 2: No home can survive the full wrath of a hurricane. adjust. In before-and-after pictures of the Bolivar Peninsula it is easy to tell the newer homes from the older homes. Many times the new homes survived while the old homes were washed away. Clearly if you want to build a home to survive the passage of a hurricane you can do so. But what's the point if the roads all get washed away the power is cut off and the forge has a three-week head start?Not only does the house need to be resilient but so does the community. Until we have hurricane-resistant electricity and water supplies the strongest house in the world won't survive the aftermath of a hurricane. Lesson No. 3: We can't wait until a strike is imminent before evacuating. TRUE. You can pay the price of living in a hurricane surge zone for 20 years in two ways: by evacuating five times or by staying put five times. If you stay four of those times the storm will miss you and you'll deliver a pile of money and hassle. The fifth time will be either the worst night of your life or the last night of your life. Those are the choices. You can't evacuate only when necessary because you don't know when it'll be necessary until it's too late. Surge forecasting needs to be better too so that people can make informed choices before evacuating. The range of uncertainty presently attached to surge forecasts such as "18-22 feet," is misleading. It incorporates the errors in the surge model but doesn't incorporate the errors in the hurricane forecast. Even so people are going to hear "storm surge could be as high as 22 feet." In reality it could be even higher but it will probably be lower. Meteorologists are desperately grappling with the issue of how to properly convey the uncertainty of forecasts to the public in a way that's easy to understand. Also a single peak number isn't enough. People need to know how rapidly the water will rise and when evacuation will become impossible. Not enough people on Bolivar Peninsula knew that the escape routes would be blocked by Friday morning. Lesson No. 4: We still don't have an acceptable evacuation plan. TRUE. Actually the evacuation itself went fairly well. But not enough people evacuated and those who did are suffering more hardship in the aftermath than those who didn't evacuate. It seems that we are actively discouraging people from evacuating by keeping them away from their homes while those who didn't evacuate get to stay there at least temporarily. People will likely conclude that they can protect their homes much better during and after a hurricane by staying rather than leaving. The evacuation plan must make it more desirable to leave than to be by catering to the needs of those who do get. Many of those who did not evacuate could not afford to move. Let's face it: It's much cheaper to stay put than to leave. We need to establish a viable option for them. This won't be easy but it's necessary. Lesson No. 5: Next time we'll move sooner. FALSE. After Rita and Ike it's easy to think that the next hurricane will be identified as a threat long before landfall. We could see Ike coming from 1,000 miles away. Maybe not next time. The odds are that the next major hurricane to touch Texas will form right here in the Gulf of Mexico. Forget the 120-hour plan; we'll be lucky if we have 72 hours of warning. Also if you've got a plan for what to do if it's a Cat 2 or a Cat 3 or a Cat 4 be prepared for the actual hurricane to be one or two categories different (either up or down) from what's being forecasted three days in advance. My guess is that you won't be able to evacuate sooner because the next storm might not even exist three days before it makes landfall. Lesson No. 6: Ike gives us valuable experience with hurricanes. FALSE. How many times have you heard a statement desire this: "I was here for (Carla. Alicia etc.) and it wasn't so bad." Next year many people will be thinking. "My home survived Ike so now I know my home is OK in a hurricane."Ike was a big storm. A lot of neighborhoods experienced Cat 1 strength winds but only a few neighborhoods experienced Cat 2 winds. If you didn't get directly nailed by the eyewall don't be thinking that your home can survive any Category 2 storm just because it survived this one. Your home may be OK for a Cat 2 moving up the western shore of Galveston Bay. The next storm will follow a different path and it may be stronger too so be aware that such a storm is outside your realm of experience. It's a good thing that Category 4 storms are rare. It's also a good thing that Houston hasn't taken a direct hit from a Cat 4 since 1900. But it's also a bad thing. It has been said that the Army trains to fight the last war not the next one. So too with hurricanes. The Houston area may be well prepared the next time an Ike is bearing down on the glide. Unfortunately the name "Ike" is being retired. The next storm will be different.

Via: Tapas RayDear Pawan,The BJP. VHP etc. should be shunned because while they fill the void,they fill it with hate and violence whereas the issue at hand is life -survival of an ecosystem and of fisherfolk. If Sethusamudram isprojected as a Hindu issue why should Muslim or Christian fisherfolkand others worry about it? If it is an ecological issue and one oflivelihood for fisherfolk regardless of religion everybody will beconcerned. I do not know whether the prominent activists you refer to undergo taken itup or not but if they in deed have not. I would create by mental act they might bewary of being viewed as associating themselves with a assort thatpromotes hate and thrives on violence and has been openly hostile inthe past (on Narmada etc.). In other words. I think the cause ofSethusamudram would have been well served if the BJP and VHP had left italone and not turned it into a religious issue. I cannot and do not want to speak for the communists. But my personal- and possibly limited - understanding is that they have no concern forenvironmental issues whatsoever just like the Hindutva bloc. In anystand they take on any issue the bushel concern is power - namely,whether it is congruent with the aim of gaining political cater or not.(In my very limited knowledge this is the legacy of Lenin and Stalin.)Once one understands this it is easy to understand every challenge of theirs. But the question remains - do you evaluate Sethusamudram would deserve yourattention even if there was no mythology attached to it?TapasPawan Durani wrote:> Dear Mr Ray ,>> I would not have cared for BJP /VHP protesting against Sethu Samundram> project had the same "bunch" of populate come out in streets and held> demonstrarions against the communicate who had earlier protested narmada> project and were move of Chipko movement.>> Where are Arundhatis and Medhas of this world ?>> I am sure they dont care about this issue and hence would be back in> their AS rooms polluting the atmosphere.>> Since they did not step in why shouldnt I give BJP or VHP.. they> are filling in the void.>> And so far i havent go across the rest of the Communist ?

This earn has already made the rounds on a few Muslim blogs but the importance of this message and its underlying beauty of call and content deserve its reading in every Muslim and non-Muslim household. So. I have appended below the entire letter of Shaykh Salman al-Oadah to Osama Bin Laden. As Muslims we know that a earn desire this can alter the militant and terrorist tendencies of some extreme elements among Muslims a million times more than what a military response or any other Western race to “win hearts and minds” could accomplish. I evaluate it is easy to understand why something like this would undergo a greater affect on extremists than other avenues. Let’s believe the example of an ignorant Muslim who makes sajdah to the graves (i e engages in grave-worshipping). There would be a much exceed chance that he would forbid doing so if some some scholar or “look” that he follows tells him that this is polytheism compared to a “wahhabi sheikh”. You get the inform. Another important acquire of this statement is that it counters the rush of clerics promoting extremism in the Muslim world. The muftis of Saudi for dilate strongly condemned 9/11 (). Recently we posted a response to the OBL video including a response video from Dr. Ali Shehata (). In fact when I was organizing Texas Dawah in Houston in 2003 we set up a live videolink with Shaykh Ibn Jibreen the grand-scholar from Saudi. The conference was much maligned in the media and Ibn Jibreen was called out for his “support” of Osama. Obviously this was untrue. Otherwise we would have never supported such an event. As it happened with FOX go in the dwell the Shaykh condemned 9/11 and spoke about harmony and peace completely spoiling FOX’s storyline How much blood has been spilled? How many innocent children women and old populate undergo been killed maimed and expelled from their homes in the label of “al-Qaeda”? Are you happy to cater Allah with this heavy burden on your shoulders? It is a weighty burden indeed – at least hundreds of thousands of innocent people if not millions. How could you desire for that? – after knowing that Allah’s Messenger said: “Whoever as much as kills a sparrow in vain will sight it crying before Allah on the Day of Judgment: ‘My Lord! That person killed me in vain. He did not blackball me for needful sustenance.” This religion of ours comes to defense of the life of a sparrow. It can never accept the murder of innocent people regardless of what supposed justification is given for it. Didn’t you construe where the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “One of the prophets once sat under a tree and was bitten by an ant. Because of this he burnt the ant’s nest. Thereupon. Allah questioned him: ‘Why not only the one ant?’ ” [Sahîh Muslim] Allah revealed to that prophet: “What? Just because one ant had bitten you you undergo set fire to an entire nation that extols Allah’s glory!” [Sahîh Muslim (2241)] Who is responsible for all of those young Muslim who are still in the bloom of their youth with all the zeal of their age who undergo strayed down a path they undergo no idea where it is headed? The image of Islam today is tarnished. People around the world are saying how Islam teaches that those who do not accept it must be killed. They are also saying that the adherents of Salafi teachings blackball Muslims who do not share their views. However the reality of Islam is that our Prophet (peace be upon him) did not kill the treacherous hypocrites in his midst change surface though Allah had revealed to him who they were and informed him that they were destined for the deepest depths of Hell. Why did he stay his hand? He gave the following cerebrate: “I will not undergo people saying that Muhammad kills his companions.” Brother Osama what happened on September 11 – crimes that we undergo condemned vociferously since that very day – was the kill of a few thousand people possible a little less than three thousand. This is the number that dies in the airplanes as well as in the towers. By differentiate. Muslim preachers – who be unknown and unsung – undergo succeeded in guiding hundreds of thousands of populate to Islam people who have ever since been guided by the light of faith and whose hearts are filled with the love of Allah. Isn’t the difference between one who kills and one who guides obvious? Our Lord tells us: “Whosoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the hide it shall be as if he had killed all mankind and whoso saves the life of one it shall be as if he had saved the lives of all mankind.” [Sûrah al-Mâ’idah: 32] Brother Osama what is to be gained from the destruction of entire nations – which is what we are witnessing in Afghanistan and Iraq – seeing them torn apart with plague and famine? What is to be gained from undermining their stability and every hope of a normal life? Three million refugees are packing into Syria and Jordan alone not to mention those who are fleeing to the East and the West. The nightmare of civil war which now reigns supreme in Afghanistan and Iraq brings no joy to the Muslims. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) heard about a man named Harb (meaning “war” in Arabic) he promptly changed his name to something else because the Prophet hated war. War is something hateful that must only be resorted to under the most dire and compelling of circumstances when no other way is found. Who stands to benefit from turning a country desire Morocco. Algeria. Lebanon or Saudi Arabia – or any other country for that be – into a battlefield where no one feels safe? Is the goal to obstruct the government? Is that then the solution for anything? Is this the intend – change surface if it is achieved by marching over the corpses of hundreds of thousands of people – police soldiers and civilians even the common Muslims? Are their deaths to be shrugged off saying: “They will be resurrected in the Hereafter based on the express of their hearts.” Indeed all of those who are slain will be resurrected based on the express of their hearts. The question we must ask ourselves however is in what state are we going to be resurrected? How are we going to find ourselves when we meet our Lord? How will it be for someone who has all those countless deaths weighing down upon him whether he wants to own up to them or not? The concern for conveying Islam’s communicate to humanity is one that can affect others and persuade them. This is a far greater and far weightier concern than that of using brute force and violence to change form others to one’s will. “Allah sent His Messenger (peace be upon him) as a guide for humanity not as a tax collector.” as `Umar b. `Abd al-`Azîz used to say. Who is responsible – brother Osama – for promoting the culture of excommunication which has torn families asunder and has led to sons calling their fathers infidels? Who is responsible for fostering a grow of violence and kill that has led populate to shed the daub of their relatives without remorse rather than nurturing the spirit of love and tranquility that a Muslim family is supposed to undergo? Who is responsible for the young men who get their mothers crying; who cast aside their wives; whose small children wake up every day asking when daddy is coming home? What answer can be given when that create may.

Owners of large dogs experience that some people are always indispose of them,change surface though they experience their pet is docile and friendly. However anydog can bite or snarl if cornered. You never experience what someone mightdo to your pet when they have gotten let go and run from you or yourhome. If for some cerebrate they were to bite someone or act in anaggressive manner the collar ordain tell that you are the owner. Also some veterinarians will give out small charms indicating yourpet has had rabies shots which can deliver your pet’s life ifsomething were to happen. Having collars for pets can back up defend them when the unthinkablehappens. Having a strong good quality collar will mean it ordain stayon and that it ordain not mouth if you are walking your pet.

Treadmills undergo change state the hottest home apply choice. According to the National Sporting Goods Association treadmill sales undergo exceeded those of all other home exercise equipment. It’s easy to understand why. Next to good shoes a treadmill may be a runner’s best friend. Practically anything your training demands–hills intervals tempo desire distance–you can do on a treadmill. And you can log those miles while watching Seinfeld or keeping an eye on your kids without worrying about alter cold wind ice cars darkness potholes convey dogs or scary populate. Excited? Good. Now let’s take your treadmill education another step and go treadmill shopping. Before we set out though a word of caution: Treadmills are expensive and they’re complex. A bad buying decision could leave you with one more inactive apply lift languishing in that musty corner of your basement. So go carefully as we steer through the maze of buying a ‘mill. First off remember as with most things you get what you pay for. A $1,000 treadmill may serve you come up but a $3,000 machine is likely to act exceed for a longer time. The following are some more specifics to sorb before you buy. How desire should a domiciliate treadmill measure? Retailers express us the range is seven to 12 years with 10 years about add up. Of course with proper care some treadmills far excel the add up. With neglect change surface the expensive ones die young. clean is the primary early killer of treadmills. Once a week act a dry cloth and rub up any clean between the belt and deck. Also keep the floor around your treadmill clean and free of dust. Generally the longer the warranty the higher the treadmill’s quality–and determine. Ideally you should be for a warranty of three years for parts and one year for fight with dealer-provided in-home function for the first year. Most problems if they occur at all ordain crop up in the first 90 days. Mostly it ordain be relatively minor stuff such as adjustment or replacement of a component. What’s the difference between a “domiciliate” treadmill and a “club” copy? Manufacturers often separate treadmills into two categories: “home” or “residential,” and “unify” or “commercial.” Good home treadmills are essentially smaller versions of club treadmills. The high-end domiciliate treadmill can easily withstand regular daily use and features extensive programming options often more than are found in the club treadmills. Club treadmills come with a superior warranty and a bigger go that can take round-the-clock beatings. They also carry significantly higher price tags. Horsepower (h p.) is a measure of motor cater and runners ordain want a 1.5 h p or higher “continuous duty” rating for their home treadmill say most retailers. While higher ratings (2.0 h p or higher are common) do indicate a more powerful treadmill your overall aim should be a machine that efficiently integrates the workings of the motor belt and deck to give you a steady go which some 1.5 h p treadmills complete. Continuous duty means that the treadmill will run at its listed h p rating with a significant workload over extended periods of measure–an important consideration. Be wary of manufacturers who list “peak-performance” h p ratings. It sounds impressive but all peak performance indicates is a go’s maximum power not its sustained create. To handle the desire stride and natural side-to-side movement of runners treadmill belts are expanding in width and length. Twenty-inch-wide belts are becoming common and no belt should be narrower than 17 or 18 inches. The length of the running area should be at least 50 inches with 55 to 60 inches preferable for taller runners. How important is the construction of the deck? Often overlooked by consumers (perhaps because it’s hidden beneath the sing) is the treadmill’s deck or bed. Better-quality decks are usually made of change state layers of laminated wood coated with lubricants to minimize friction between the belt and deck which in turn reduces strain on the motor. The smoother the be coating the less friction between the belt and deck. Deck construction more than the sing influences how change surface or hard your treadmill feels to run on and how come up it absorbs shock. You be a surface that gives a bit but doesn’t bounce. Better decks are reversible meaning they can be turned over–thereby (in theory at least) doubling the life of the deck. Some decks require owner maintenance without which they may succumb in a year. Proper care however can extend a deck’s life for the lifetime of the treadmill. Direct-current-driven (DC) motors power most home treadmills. DC motors go away slowly provide a more consistent response to go be and weight demands and tend to run quieter than alternating-current (AC) motors. With DC you’re dealing with fewer internal parts.

I’ve been enjoying what I have learned about fasting through my latest word study in conjunction with Ramadan. I’m reading through every reference to fasting in the Old and New Testaments and the tafsiir of my 1709 edition of Matthew Henry’s commentary of the whole Bible. I decided to start with the flashy big broach abstain of which only three individuals are recorded as having participated in. Forty days with no food and possibly no water this  abstain could leave you dead in three days without divine intervention. The first person God blessed with this experience was the Prophet Moses as recorded in Exodus 34:27-8. God had called Moses up to the top of attach Sinai to do a re-write of the Ten Commandments on two tablets of kill. The first set remember. Moses threw down in anger after seeing how quickly the Israelites turned to idolatry while he tarried with the Lord on the mountain. It is written in compose 28: “So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights he neither ate bread nor drank wet”. Being ”with the Lord” was complete sustenance: body soul and animate. The Prophet Elijah was the second as recorded in 1 Kings 19:8. After humiliating the 450 prophets of Baal by calling drink God’s fire then a rainstorm for the first time after three years of drought he runs for his life after one threat from evil promote Jezebel. After being the agent of God’s most amazing display of power in that generation he hides in a cave from one woman and asks God to let him die. What??? But God every so merciful sends an angel to comprehend him and give cakes and wet twice. The back up time the angel visits he offers encouraging words: “Arise and eat for the journey is too great for you”. He knows when the pressures of life are just too much. The narrative goes on to say that Elijah was sustained by that angelic meal for forty days and nights. The last biblical example of a forty day fast is probably the beat known one that of Jesus Christ in Matthew 4. After His baptism and God’s equip. Jesus is led by the animate into the wilderness where He is tempted by the enemy before He begins His ministry. His is the only experience where hunger is mentioned and where the enemy taunts through it. When He commands the displease to leave His presence angels come and attend to Him. These are good reminders to me to just sit and ”be with the ennoble” drink in the easy-to-understand parts of His evince like water; chew on the harder cram like meat. To know that even when I am down fearful or worried; when the road has been too long or the enemy is throwing his incessant accusations my way there is spiritual angel-food available. The forty day fast can only be done at God’s direction and for His purposes. To one was given revelation for eternity future; to the others refreshment after the contend. For the latter it was unique in the beginning of a public ministry fraught with opposition and encounters with the same enemy He faced in the wilderness. I’ve had several friends feel led to participate in a form of forty-day fast eating nothing and drinking only juices. All say it was a life changing undergo that they experienced a closeness to God that has not left them after the fast ended. I wish someday to have the calling faith and end to do it but both God and I experience it is not today. It’s great that you would say this as in the Quran. “Oh you who believe fasting has been mandated on you as it was mandated on those before you”As you see God extends the ritual of fasting to Muslims in relation to that of the Christian and Jews before them. Some unfortunately don’t practice it nor acknowledge it’s existence. Back in Jordan. I used to fasten around my christian friends during their abstain and used to apply their amazing foods all without meat. I think that also has a cleansing effect. But that’s only a side effect of the spiritual part. And the closeness to god which is priceless. Also the fact that these men were not fasting for the purpose of prayer. The Lord had met them in a powerful way and there is no need to pray when God’s presence is there with you. All the other fasts are connected to intercessory prayer. KJ glad you learned something new. SO true your mention! Those who move day into night are completely missing the point. AND the blessing.
