• I ran the San Diego version of the Rock 'n' Roll marathon many years ago. My sister just pointed me at this – I think it'll be a blast, and I'll probably do the half marathon this time.
  • Delta Minaret calculates daily prayer times, qibla direction and hijri date anywhere anytime. It acts like a mosque in your pocket. Wherever you go, prayer times are a simple click away. Delta Minaret is a must-have application for all Muslims. It is very simple to use and offers great flexibility in the calculations. You can access prayer times for nearly 1000 cities and you can even add your own city. You can hear a complete Adhan for every prayer. You can choose the calculation method for Asr either following Shafi or Hanafi school. You can also choose among the conventions used for twilight angles for the calculation of Fajr/Isha and you can add your own values. In addition, you don't have to worry about adjusting daylight saving since it's all done automatically. In short, Delta Minaret is a global prayer times calculator that presents you with accurate daily prayer schedules at the palm of your hand.
  • And likewise, making a Tele style guitar, from somebody not as experienced as Ron Kirn.
  • Guitar builder Ron Kirn wrote a tutorial with 450 pictures about how he builds a Strat style guitar from scratch. Fascinating. I'd LOVE to do this, but probably start with a Tele, body only, and buy a neck.

    (Teles are WAY easier because they don't have the 3-d routing as a general rule)
