Taj-ul-Masajid is a Mosque situated in Bhopal, India. The name is also spelt as Taj-ul-Masjid. However the correct Name is Taj-ul-Masajid and not Taj-ul-Masjid. "Masajid" means "Mosques" (Plural of "Masjid") and "Taj-ul-Masajid" literally means "Crown Among Mosques". It is the largest Mosque in India.
HISTORY
The construction of the Mosque was initiated during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar by Nawab Shah Jahan Begum (1844–1860 and 1868–1901) of Bhopal (Wife of Baqi Mohammad Khan) and continued to be built by her daughter Sultan Jahan Begum, till her lifetime. The mosque was not completed due to lack of funds, and after a long lay-off after the War of 1857, construction was resumed in 1971 by great efforts of Allama Mohammad Imran Khan Nadwi Azhari and Maulana Sayed Hashmat Ali Sahab of Bhopal. The construction was completed by 1985 and the entrance (eastern) gate was renovated grandly using ancient motifs from circa 1250 Syrian mosques by the contribution of the Emir of Kuwait to commemorate the memory of his departed wife.
ARCHITECTURE
The Mosque has a pink facade topped by two 18-storey high octagonal minarets with marble domes. The Mosque also has three huge bulbous domes, an impressive main hallway with attractive pillars and marble flooring resembling Mughal architecture the likes of Jama Masjid in Delhi and the huge Badshahi Mosque of Lahore. It has a courtyard with a large tank in the centre. It has a double-storeyed gateway with four recessed archways and nine cusped multifold openings in the main prayer hall. The Quibla wall in the prayer hall is carved with eleven recessed arches and has fine screens of trellis work. The massive pillars in the hall hold 27 ceilings through squinted arches of which 16 ceilings are decorated with ornate petaled designs.

Snow White truly is the Fairest One of All. This doll for my collection arrived the other day, and she is truly breathtaking (the other doll I had posted pictures of is for a friend overseas, as at least initially Saks Fifth Avenue stated that they could not ship these overseas). I also received in the mail today a Thank You card from the lady that I had made my order with over the phone along with the actual register receipt.
Though Snow White is my favorite princess, I do hope that Disney lays off making any more limited edition dolls for her for a while. Five 17" LE dolls in a little over a year's time is super-excessive!

hey man, it is kinda easy to save money if you dont have to burn through it on bills. fortunatley i know how to save and that is the only way that i am staying afloat right now. after getting layed off 2 months ago i am depending on my savings to keep my head above water. well for starters, take your lunch and snacks to work with you. get you a good sized lunch bag and pack you a luch. instead of getting the coca cola brand or pepsi brand drinks get store brand drinks get a big variety pack of tater chips. make you a sandwich or something and take it all with you. when i was working i figured it up and when i started doing this i saved my self about 100 dollars a month. now the key is to set a goal for your self. everyone needs atleast 3 months of savings. that covers all your bills. figure up how much you need to survive for 3 months. rent, electic, water, insurance what ever. and you also need an entertainment fund. figure out how much you need to survive (not have a blast) survive from week to week. take what you have left and put 75 percent into your savings and the other 25 perent in your entertainment fund. the trick is to only use what is in the entertainment fund for entertainment. dont dip into the emergency fund to have fun off of. just make a goal and stick to the goal. oh yea, before you start putting away for your emergency fun gather all your bills, ones that are not like electric rent, gather any out standing medical bills, car payment, what every and take what you would put into your emergency fun and knock out these bills. you knock out those bills and then start saving. if you do this (and lord forbid you loose your job) all these little bills will be payed off and you will have 3 months of savings that you can depend on and still have a little in your entertainment fund if you need it. man i know that i rambled on and on but trust me right now now one can afford to throw away money (well some can) save every penny that you can put it away for your future. right now i am living off my savings and it is running to a quick end and i hope that i have a job before then but if i didnt have these savings i probably would not still have a roof over my head or food on the table for my family. good luck with your savings. It is never easy to save money, for one, you have to be smart and try not to spend more then you earn, so with that being said, it is not an easy thing to do, to control your spending before earning the cash and as soon as it comes in you have to save it and keep saving it and not buy expensive things every day of your life

1) I've worn the same Hoodie and Shorts every morning this week and I rarely wear socks, but when i wear the hoodie to bed i'll wake up with it off...can never figure it out, and before falling asleep i cannot have my feet covered...its weird.
2) Once while in the Las Vegas airport I was playing with a golf ball and got my arm stuck in the airport seating...i was 16
3) I really like sushi. the thought of devouring flipper and nemo just makes me smile
4) Living with my roommates made me cautious of my environment and also made me happy that i didn't splurge on a good knife set.
5) Just last week I was supposed to hang out w/ this totally awesome girl, but we had a communication malfunction and I left her sit at Dunkin Donuts for an hour by herself... :( but promised to make it up to her by including her in one of my 365s someday :) (what a trade off eh =P)
6) I'm pretty nervous about my career if i were to end up in pittsburgh i'd be pretty scared O_o... i've become comfortable back at home and don't want to lose that and leave this place....but i'm ready to make the move in the same breath.
7) Unfortunately I have crapped my pants....one time in high school i was out in the woods...it wasn't fun.
8) I've been pulled over twice, and not once got a speeding ticket with points, only a "Failure to obey traffic control devices" (knock on wood)
9) I've given up beer until my brothers Wedding in August... In hopes of losing a little wait i've started to eat better and walk everyday with my mom....yeah at least i feel good....right? and i'mma look damn good at that friggin wedding :)
So there you have it, i'm sure most of this may have been known but i so far i've told flickr 55 secrets about myself....lay off me hahah.

Funding dirty coal? Not with our money.
Activists hung a banner on Bank of America's Charlotte, NC headquarters to tell the bank: "Not with our money!" People are fed up with Bank of America putting profits before people and planet. The bank is the largest funder of the US coal industry and the leading foreclosure on Americans' homes. Meanwhile, BoA is laying off 30,000 workers and hiking fees left and right. Enough is enough.
You too can tell Bank of America, "Not with our money!"

I was craving the weekend by Wednesday. Lots of bad news in my industry - publishing. Lay offs, pay freezes, hiring freezes, reorgs. Fortunately my company has only had to announce a temporary pay freeze-no lay offs as yet. Let's hope a good holiday season gets things back on track.
I had to snap a quick shot before work today since I'm going out to dinner and to a comedy show at Caroline's tonight and won't be home til late. This 365 thing is definitely making me more comfortable with non-smiling, close-up shots of myself.
Have a great Friday everyone, and a relaxing weekend!
Fannie May Candy, has been a Chicago icon since 1920. Last year the Archibold Candy Company went bankrupt, closed the factory in Chicago's West Loop, and shuttered most of its stores. Employees who had worked there for decades were layed off. Fannie May was eventually bought out by Alpine confections, a company based in Utah, which reopened many of the stores, but not the Chicago factory.
Fannie May is just one of many Chicago candy brands, including Marshall Field's famous Frango Mints, which are no longer made in Chicago. This site has been bought by a developer who is reportedly planning to put "big box" retail stores there.
This seemed like a fitting image to take on the week before Valentines Day. Before the closing, people would be standing in long lines here, waitng to buy Fannie May candy.

Pictures from the Vanarama National League North clash at Broadhurst Park between FC United of Manchester and Darlington.
The game finished in a hard fought 3-2 victory for Darlo. who were 2-0 up inside 27 minutes.
Hardy opended the scoring for the visitors latching onto a superb ball from Thompson before slipping the ball past the advancing keeper.
Quakers went two-up on 27 minutes but it should have been more as thye spurned a host of chnaces. Liam Marrs’ free-kick was headed down by Mark Beck for Hardy to lay off in turn for Thompson to fire across Frith.
Against the run of play United pulled a goal back on 42 minutes when Jason Gilchrist spotted Jameson off his line, and chipped the ball over the keeper followed by an equaliser on 66 minutes from Thomson.
A draw looked on the cards however with 10 minutes left subsititute Cartman cleverly found Purewal with an overhead kick for his fellow sub to charge up the left. His ball to the far post was blocked, but it came back out to Cartman, who struck a low shot that took a deflection and beat the keeper to make it 3-2. Darlo were able to weather a late storm to secure all 3 points!

A photo of a gorgeous Malachite butterfly, taken in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo way back on 26 September 2011. This comparatively new building was under water after the severe Flood of the Century, that started just over two weeks ago. Not sure when it's likely to be reopened. At the very end of July, the Zoo will be opening just the north part of the Zoo, which is built on the edge of the river. The main part of the Zoo is built on an island in the middle of the Bow River, and has suffered tremendous damage, and so will take much longer to get ready to open for visitors.
"The Calgary Zoo is laying off nearly 300 people in the wake of the flooding that caused $50 million in damage to the non-profit." From CBC News.
One happy thing, though, is that, after being rescued from the flood, a Meerkat at the Zoo gave birth to five babies : )

2/25/08 – A couple more TV shows mentions, then I’ll lay off the TV pics for awhile (maybe…definitely excludes “Lost”).
Have my Monday night line up bookmarked:
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles - Even though I missed the 1st 2 episodes, and anywhere from 5 – 30 minutes (work) of each episode thereafter, I am grooving on this show. It is more in the vein of the original Terminator movie…if you’re expecting the over-the-top action feel of the sequels you’re going to be sorely disappointed. This series is touching upon a lot of interesting themes. One of my favorites is when they ran into a terminator who’s mission didn’t involve the assassination of John, but the gathering and protection of supplies…of course Skynet would set itself up for post-Judgment Day. My favorite episode so far is where Derek Reese (Kyle’s brother…aka: John Conner’s father from the original Terminator) is remembering the events leading up to him being sent back to the present. While a prisoner, he meets one of the creators of Skynet. This scientist said they lost control of Skynet because it was afraid (oh, and Skynet originally started as an AI chess computer). Then there’s Cameron, the female Terminator sent back to protect John. With the season finale next Monday, hopefully we’ll find out if Cameron is going bad or, if not, what her agenda is.
&
Medium - Probably the best written show on TV right now. The writers do a great job in melding the crime-of-the-week story and Allison’s family life. The actors & actresses are often put through the ringer on this show, especially during the chaotic breakfast scenes. The dream sequences are also unique and creatively brilliant (tonight it was a silent movie). I am happy to see NBC has finally moved it back to Monday’s. Hopefully in the fall we can get the Chuck, Heroes, Medium line up…and if Fox doesn’t cancel Sarah Conner Chronicles (which they probably will because they’re Fox and they like to cancel they’re really good SF shows…like Firefly & Wonderfalls…before they build an audience), I’ll be getting myself a DVR by September.

ok, so i'm no runner (by any means), but i just signed up to run a 5k at this years race for the cure. Breast cancer hits close to home for me, as my mother is a breast cancer survivor. Both of my grandmothers also had breast cancer (my dad's mom will be 96 this year!). My mom's mom had a mastectomy before I was born, and survived another 15 or so years cancer-free before the cancer came back. She fought a tough fight for several years, and passed away a few days before I graduated high school.
I'll be running in honor of my mom and grandma roeser, and in memory of my grandma fec. Having breast cancer run in my family as it does means my sisters and I need to be extra careful. I'd like to raise money and do whatever I can to make sure that when I have a daughter, she doesn't need to worry about it.
So I have two months to get in respectable enough shape to run a 5k without completely humiliating myself. (This might mean I need to lay off the iced vanilla coffees for a while). I don't plan on finishing first, I just want to finish. My goal is to raise $150. If you would like to support me in the race, you can donate online here. I'll be posting updates on my progress on my blog, so stay tuned...
