Nurbakhshi tariqah
The Nurbakhshi tariqah is a Twelwer Shiite tariqah (religious order). It originated with Álaú´d-Din Sayyid Muhammad Nurbakhsh (d. 1464/869 e.H), originally a Sunni muslim but with strong Shii proclivities. His son and successor, Shah Sayyid Qasim Faydbakhsh (d. 1511/917), was still alive when the Safavids of Persia came to power. At this time the order became Shii and achieved considerable prominence. Many eminent Shii ulama of the early and middle Safavid period were afilitated to this order: Shaykh Bahaí, Mulla Muhsin-i Fayd and ''Qadi Nurullah Shustari. The order was especially influential in the evolution of the Hikmat-i Illahi of the School of Isfahan. In the beginning of the 16th century, the order was firmly established in northern India (Kashmir and Jammu) where pockets of believers still gather. However, since the beginning of the 21st century, the order has mainly relocated to Europe, were it mainly caters to individuals, in the manner of Shiite gnosticism,or irfan. The present Qutb/Pir of the order is a Swedish convert, located in a small village in Central Sweden: Ali Husayn Abdár-Rahman Hikmatullahi-Nurbakhshi. The order is sometimes called Al-Akbariyyah, since it considers Ibn Arabi (ash-Shaykh al-Akbar: "the greatest Shaykh) as one of its founders. The Silsilah/Golden Chain of the order: Prophet Muhammad Ali ibn Abi Talib, 1st Imam Ali ar-Rida, 8th Imam aruf al-Kharkhi Abu´l-Qasim al-Jurjani Ahmad al-Ghazzali Abu´n-Najib as-Suhrawardi Najmu´d-Din Kubra Alaú´d-Din as-Simnani Ibn Arabi Ali al-Hamadani Khwaja Ishaq Khutlani Muhammad Nurbakhsh Shah Qasim Faydbakhsh Ali Husayn Abdúr-Rahman Hikmatullahi

Inspired by the successes of all the Filipino choirs that has brought honor to us, Filipinos as a nation, IMUSICAPELLA is not an exception. It has the same purpose to continuously promote, advance and uphold Philippine culture, in the country and internationally, through an abiding commitment to choral excellence which all Filipino choirs are world-renowned for. They have become steadfast in their goal of attaining choral distinction and recognition as one of the Philippines’ finest vocal ensembles.

In response to the numerous invitations after the group’s highly successful 1st European Tour in 2003, the group embarked on their 2nd European Tour in April this year, once again, Imusicapella is reaping honors not only for their hometown but for our country as well.

In May, at the 5th Harmonie Festival, an international choral competition held every six years in Lindenholzhausen (Limburg), Germany, IMUSICAPELLA, with only 8 singers bagged the First Prize in the Mixed Chamber Choirs – Vocal Group Category.

Tristan, 27, a BS Tourism graduate, started handling Imusicapella in 2002 and since then, the choir has undergone its transition from a music ministry to a legitimate choral ensemble. They have been successful in achieving top prizes locally and nationally. They won the 1st Prize of the Region IV Finals and the 2nd Prize in the National Finals of the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ 2002 National Music Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA) – Mixed Choirs Category. Just before they embarked on their tour in 2003, Imusicapella won the Grand Prize of the First Wedding Expo “Voice of Memories” Choral Competition held in Manila among others.

With all these successes, IMUSICAPELLA is indisputably, the most successful church choir from the Philippines, so far to venture the competitive world of choral music. Imusicapella has recorded three CDs in Germany, “You are the Light”, “Imusicapella, Live in Concert” and again this year, “One More Gift”.

In the face of the catastrophes and political turmoil that has befallen our nation the past years IMUSICAPELLA aims to enhance their cultural responsiveness, to carry on their goal as Imus’ Cultural Ambassadors of Goodwill.

cantaloupe farming
Cantaloupe farming, known to be a difficult market for all but the best farmers, can yield heavy profits. Cantaloupe farming generally entails the regular farming practice of fertilization, planting, maintaining, harvesting, and finally selling. Many cantaloupe farmers regard the most difficult step to be the act of harvest, and many cantaloupe pickers die every year from the strain of the hard labor. It is common for the business to be passed from father to son after the father over-exhausts himself on the field.

Momme
Momme. Pronounced like "mommy", or sometimes "mummy", abrieviated mm. An old Japanese unit of weight, equalling 1/1000 kan.

Starting in the 18th century, through trade with Japan, this became a measure of the quality of silk cloth. The basis was more was better, so heavier weight, containing more silk fiber (actually mass per unit area) was deemed more valuable.

It is the weight in pounds, of 100 yards of silk cloth 45 inches wide. This corresponds to 3.63 grams per square yard, or 4.34 grams per square meter. Jewelers still use this unit to measure cultured pearls, where it is equivalent to 3.75 grams.

The lightest silk gauze has a range of 3mm to 5mm, sheer silk chiffon would be 6mm to 8mm. Silk habutai ranges from 6mm all the way up to about 18mm. Silk sheets are made from 12mm to 19mm, (the heavier 16mm to 19mm considered best for durability). Silk suiting is commonly made with 22mm. Silk upholstery fabric ranges from light weight 20mm up to 45mm heavy weight. Raw silk also ranges from 35mm to 40mm.

There is an urban legend about this guy, David Douglas, who 'inhabits' Berkeley. As the story goes, when Episcopal was a Southern Plantation, Old David Douglas would shuffle around with coffee in one hand and a fidgety grip in the other. He'd go into Berkeley Dormitory (which I think was where all the slaves were kept, and why the lower level is called the dungeon), and he'd use the 2nd bathroom in the middle of the day. Other times, he'd be in the 2nd Commons watching the hand-cranked flatscreen TV... basketball or the winning Redskins football (so you know it was a long time ago). People say that if you concentrate hard enough, you can hear the sound of someone clearing phlegm out of his throat.... that's "Old Man Douglas." And it's not just in Berkeley. One time, some Old Boy said that he was spooked in the dining hall when he forgot to wear his blazer to seated dinner. It was "Old Man Douglas's" voice that made that nice boy soil himself.

ANOTHER THEORY: There was an "Old Man Douglas" (aka Coach DAD) who used to inhabit the "gridiron". In those days, there was no such thing as a "football field". Instead, boys equipped in leather helmets would chase each other around and tackle each other. Then, one day, a man invented the forward pass, bringing new excitement and strategy to a game that had only featured carrying an oblong shaped ball called a "pigskin" through a goal line to score. With the invention of the forward pass, circa 1905, Coach DAD saw new opportunities for victory.

And thus, "Rudapest" was born. It terrified opponents with its incisive and ruthless ability to pick apart defenses. No one had seen such a weapon; no one could defend it. Coach DAD was heralded as an "offensive genius who inspired the greats - Rockne, Lombardi, Halas, and Gibbs." After his first Super Bowl victory, Joe Gibbs stated, with tears in his eyes, "The Dolphins just hadn't seen 'Rudapest'. Joe Theisman came to me at halftime and said, 'Coach, you know what we need.' 'Yes, Theisman, you are right - it is time to honor Coach DAD and run 'Rudapest' to victory." We all know the rest of the story - but how fitting that Coach DAD's beloved Redskins earned their first championship through the ingenuity of a humble man who built a humble play.

Little fame came to Coach DAD, as he preferred glory to go to his players, the young men who practiced "Rudapest" on the gridiron, in their dorm rooms, in their sleep. Many football scholars credit Coach DAD with bringing football into the modern era, although no bronze bust of his resides in the Football Hall of Fame.

YET ANOTHER THEORY: This other David Douglas was honored by the City of Alexandria, and given a Presidential Medal of Distinction for his "Expertise in Teenagery." For adolescents, he literally broke down doors to make their world and the worlds of many a happier place. In the classroom, David put in place a strict "No Child Left Behind With a Grade Below 90" policy, which has been adopted department- and school- wide to this very day.

Additionally, David Douglas developed/invented an iron-clad classification for camera borrowing; the system catalogs number sharpied onto the bottom of each device, starting with 1 and going to as staggeringly high as 24. Each borrower signs out and then in any piece of equipment. Both Melvil Dewey and the Library of Congress have recognized David Douglas for his stream-lining organization tactics that eliminate frustration and error.
