(CNN) -- The crowd at the base of the Space Needle in Seattle began counting down as midnight approached. It wasn't New Year's Day they were anticipating, but the moment that marijuana would become legal in Washington state.
As midnight hit, smokers hit their pipes and joints to celebrate.
Technically, what they were doing -- smoking marijuana in public -- was still a crime, but police looked the other way.
"It's amazing. I'm not a criminal anymore," one pot smoker said. "I can't go to jail for small amounts of marijuana. I'm free to be free."
But a legal haze still engulfed pot smokers Thursday, when possession of up to an ounce of marijuana by adults become legal, though growing and selling it remains a crime.
Initiative 502, passed last month by Washington voters, legalized recreational marijuana use starting December 6, but it will take a year before there are rules for growing and selling it.
I'm surprised nobody has said anything about the pot legislation in these two states. I'm surprised California didn't pass it first. But, there is hope now that we may also pass the GMO labeling legislation here before y'all too.
Since I live in WA I read the legislation. The one good thing is that it doesn't effect medicinal marijuana and the current state law regarding that. The rest of the legislation sucks. Here is one article about the legislation: http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/W ... %282012%29
Here is my problem with the "law"...The liquor control board has a year to come up with the rules...They will determine who can grow, process, sell pot...they will control how many corporations can grow, process, sell pot...ect. To me, this is just a foot in the door for corps like montsanto (who already is playing with GMO pot) and the tobacco companies to dominate the market. Once again, the little guy can't get a foot hold.
To me, pot should have never become "illegal". The same with hemp. In order to make alcohol illegal, the congress had to adopt a new amendment in the Constitution. I don't see one of those thingys for weed. The only reason why hemp/bud were proclaimed illegal was because of corporations. And...when corporations create laws, the government is fascist.
There is more I'd like to say about this, but I'll wait and check to see if anyone is interested.

The wheels on the bottom rack of ge dishwasher were falling off after we bought the house Jane W. • Washington, NC • September 19, 2014 My Repair & Advice You must understand that I am a a "mature adult" better known as senior citizen and become frustrated when things don't work correctly. At first, no clue what to do. thought I would need a whole bottom rack which was quite pricey, then I googled GE dishwater parts. Right there in the first listing was Appliance Pro. Thank goodness. I watched the video, got the model number , ordered the parts and in three days I now have a botton dish rack that rolls out correctly. This will put me on the track of Pro Appliances with other rather simple fixes.The videos are a great tool. Was this review helpful to you?
Rack slide end cap on ge dishwasher top rack was broken and rack would not stop when pulled out Valerie L. • Pensacola Beach, FL • July 26, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher GLD5950N10CS My Repair & Advice Could not find the part locally and had to order from their warehouse. At least a 2 day wait. Part cost was $16.60 plus tax. Decided to research online and was eventually directed to AppliancePartsPros.com. Found the part for 50 cents plus FED X shipping of $6.95. Viewed a video that was offered to assist in the repair. Was most helpful and was able to clip the new part in place in a matter of seconds. Was able to get a refund on my other order and discovered that the part that was ordered was not for my machine but for a Westinghouse. Looked identical to the GE part. Have found a gold mine for ordering future parts. Thanks. Was this review helpful to you?
Broken fron glass on range Jordan T. • New Windsor, MD • April 01, 2014 My Repair & Advice Easy fix. The repair took less than five minutes and looks great. Saved a lot of money. Thanks AppliancePartsPros. Was this review helpful to you?
Soap dispenser Troy S. • Allegan, MI • March 12, 2014 My Repair & Advice Took it out and replaced it Was this review helpful to you?
Ice maker would not dispense ice and chute/container would frost over Theo S. • Tallahassee, FL • October 01, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator GSS25WGSBWW My Repair & Advice When diagnosing the problem, I discovered that the ice door was not properly sealing and that the solenoid had appeared to rust/corrode forcing the door open. I replaced most of the ice dispenser internals (solenoid, crank, door, and spring) following the video. The door will now open when dispensing ice (which it does!), and will oddly stay open for a few seconds once I am finished, but does seal properly and the chute/container no longer frosts over. Was this review helpful to you?

Uterine fibroids are tumors that grow in a woman's womb (uterus). These growths are not cancer (benign).
Leiomyoma; Fibromyoma; Myoma; Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are common. As many as 1 in 5 women may have fibroids during their childbearing years. Half of all women have fibroids by age 50.
Fibroids are rare in women under age 20. They are more common in African-Americans than Caucasians.
No one knows exactly what causes fibroids. They are thought to be caused by:
Fibroids can be so tiny that you need a microscope to see them. They can also grow very large. They may fill the entire uterus and may weigh several pounds. Although it is possible for just one fibroid to develop, usually there are more than one.
Fibroids can grow:
Common symptoms of uterine fibroids are:
Often, you can have fibroids and not have any symptoms. Your health care provider may find them during a physical exam or other test. Fibroids often shrink and cause no symptoms in women who have gone through menopause. A recent study also showed that some small fibroids shrink in premenopausal women.
Your health care provider will perform a pelvic exam. This may show that you have a change in the shape of your womb.
Fibroids aren't always easy to diagnose. Being obese may make fibroids harder to detect. Your doctor may do these tests to look for fibroids:
If you have unusual bleeding, your doctor may do one of these procedures:
What type of treatment you have depends on:
Treatment for the symptoms of fibroids may include:
Surgery and procedures used to treat fibroids include:
National Uterine Fibroid Foundation - www.nuff.org
If you have fibroids without symptoms, you may not need treatment.
If you have fibroids, they may grow if you become pregnant. This is due to the increased blood flow and higher estrogen levels. The fibroids usually return to their original size after your baby is born.
Complications of fibroids include:
If you are pregnant, there's a small risk that fibroids also may cause complications:

Maple-Miso Dijon Salmon
Maple dijon, a variation of honey dijon, is such a nice, easy and amazingly tasty flavour combo that goes great on so many things including meats like chicken and fish and vegetables like green beans, asparagus and even brussels sprouts, but my favourite way to enjoy it is on silky smooth salmon. Although the basic maple and dijon combo is great I often like to change things up with additions like grainy mustard or other flavours and one truly standout version is this one with a Japanese theme including miso. Miso is a fermented soybean paste that is packed with flavour and umami and it is typically used in soups but it also goes great in sauces and marinades like this one.
This maple-miso dijon salmon is literally as easy to make as mix the marinade, marinate and cook! All said and done it only takes about 15 minutes of effort! If you place the salmon in the marinade the night before or in the morning you can have the main course of your dinner ready in under 15 minutes! In addition to being super quick and easy to make it is amazingly tasty and pretty healthy to boot! The maple, miso and dijon flavours go magically well with the buttery, flaky salmon that just melts into your mouth!
I served the maple-miso dijon salmon on a bed of roasted beets and sauteed beet greens making for one really tasty and healthy light meal. The maple-miso dijon marinade also makes for a great salad dressing and I drizzled some extra over the beets and greens.
This maple-miso dijon marinade would also go well on many other fish like butterfish, halibut, etc.
Maple-Miso Dijon Salmon
A super quick, easy, tasty, and healthy salmon in a maple-miso dijon glaze.
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- Marinate the salmon in the mixture of the maple syrup, mustards, miso, vinegar, soy sauce and garlic for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the salmon on a baking dish and bake in a preheated 400F oven until the salmon just starts to flake easily, about 10 minutes.
Tip: Marinate the salmon overnight or in the morning and have dinner ready in under 15 minutes!
Option: Feel feel to broil, grill or pan fry instead of baking. If you go with one of these, wipe as much of the marinade off as possible before cooking (so that it does not burn) and serve topped with extra marinade.

triptych | tri-college digital library
Woodbourne 7/22/1906My dear Caroline,Thy very nice letter of the 25th of June from [C...?]reached me just after I had mailed my last to you. I was surprised to find you still lingering in Italy but hope by now you have found a more bracing climate. I should think that would be most important for Annette. I do feel so sorry that her leg is giving her trouble again. Did not the Lindon doctor tell you it was the nerve & not the bone that was effected? I understood it that way. At any rate I should suppose that it was most important to build up her general health. Poor Father has had a very suffering time this summer with the Shingles.

In the offseason before the 2011 season, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning was asked if he was an elite quarterback. His answer, in a nutshell, was yes -- comparing himself to the likes of Tom Brady. Many so-called sports experts thought the notion was ridiculous. Manning proved them wrong on February 5 in Super Bowl XLVI. And for the second time in four years, he did it at Brady's expense. Manning led a game-winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter, including a pass to Mario Manningham that will be replayed for decades, on the way to a 21-17 win over the New England Patriots. Manning was 30-of-40 for 296 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He was named Super Bowl MVP for the second time. It's important to remember the GIants had to win their final game of the regular season just to qualify for the playoffs at 9-7 -- proof that it's not how you start, it's how you finish.

Jokers own note:In all of this, Islam unlike any other religion does not have a central leadership, meaning that any Imam can issue Fatwa's (Religious decree) unlike for instance the Church of England. Priests of the C of E are able to make statements but if they are incorrect the Arch Bishop of Canterberry or H.M the Queen can overrule the statement on theological grounds, this does not occur in Islam.
Given all of the evidence I have provided (and it only scratches the surface) I ask: Do you want this in Australia.
Islam in my belief is not a religion, it is a ideology and an agenda of a political and warring cult hell bent on world domination. If Sharia Law was ever permitted in this country the very fabric of Australian culture and values will be completely destroyed. As Islam grows in Australia the discrimination against Australians grows. This is clearly evidenced in the ways in which Government and private enterprise have made changes to accommodate Islam I refer you to this link as evidence as it details how Australia is slowly being taken over by incursion by Islam and how the Government is allowing it to occur. I also point out that Sharia Law is in conflict to the Constitution of the commonwealth of Australia 1901.
Although I have stated above that it is a threat to Australia, it is just as real a threat to the United States of America and is also in conflict to the Constitution of the United States.
What does the Koran say about "infidels?" Is Islam a "religion of peace?" What does the Quran say about women? Do Muslim men get served by 72 virgin girls and boys with pearl earrings when they go to Paradise?
Quotes from the Koran/Quran
"About sixty-one percent of the contents of the Koran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for their violent conquest; at best only 2.6 percent of the verses of the Koran are noted to show goodwill toward humanity. About seventy-five percent of Muhammad's biography (Sira) consists of jihad waged on unbelievers."
Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy
(Quotes below are from N.J. Dawood's The Koran: with a Parallel Arabic Text, Penguin Classics, 1990)
Freedom of Religion
There shall be no compulsion in religion.
Quran 2:236; "The Cow," Dawood, p. 41
The only true faith in God's sight is Islam.

Quran 2:1/2:6-2:10; "The Cow," Dawood, pp. 1-2

Infidels, Unbelievers and Non-Muslims
Let not believers make friends with infidels in preference to the faithful - he that does this has nothing to hope for from Good - except in self-defense. God admonishes you to fear Him: for to God shall all return.
Quran 3:28; "The Imrans," Dawood, p. 52
God's curse be upon the infidels! Evil is that for which they have bartered away their souls. To deny God's own revelation, grudging that He should reveal His bounty to whom He chooses from among His servants! They have incurred God's most inexorable wrath. An ignominious punishment awaits the unbelievers.

They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed houris [virgin girls] We shall wed them. . . . Fruit We shall give them, and such meats as they desire.

They shall be attended by boys graced with eternal youth, who to the beholders eyes will seem like sprinkled pearls. When you gave upon that scene, you will behold a kingdom blissful and glorious.
Quran 76:9-20, Dawood, p. 414
Quotes by and about Some of Islam's Most Famous Spokesmen
[Muhammad] said, "...fight everyone in the way of God and kill those who disbelieve in God..."
Ibn Ishaq, The Life of Muhammad, p. 672
Allah's Apostle [Muhammad] said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand."
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220
The Prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 6
The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64
It is better for a girl to marry in such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband's house rather than her father's home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven.
Ayatollah Khomeini
(Quote taken from Khomeini's book, Tahrirolvasyleh, vol. 4, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990, Source: Homa For more sensational and outrageous quotes regarding "taboo" issues, please see the Homa website.)
If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, an ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed and as quickly as possible and burned.
Ayatollah Khomeini

Eleven things are impure: urine, excrement, sperm...non-Moslem men and women...and the sweat of an excrement-eating camel.
Ayatollah Khomeini
(From The Little Green Book, Source: Harwood's Mythology's Last Gods, 175)
Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 301
Commentary on the Koran and Islam
Mohammed promised his followers seven heavens in which:
They are to cohabit with demure virgins...as beauteous as corals and rubies...full-breasted maidens for playmates...in the gardens of delight.... They're to lie face to face on jewelled couches, and be serviced by immortal youths...young boys, their personal property, as comely as virgin pearls.... We created the houris [dancing girls] and made them virgins, carnal playmates for those on the right hand.... We are going to wed them to dark-eyed houris. [The Koran 55:56; 55:58; 78:33; 56:12; 52:16-17, 24; 56:35-38; 52:20]
Each Muslim man, in exchange for a lifetime of mindless obedience, was to be rewarded after death with an unspecified number of pretty boys to bugger, plus eight heavenly houris, each more phallus-raising than the others and each endowed with the capacity to grow a new hymen after each bout of sexual recreation. The male chauvinist Muslim could thus satisfy his virginity fetish by deflowering them over and over again, for eternity. When one compares Mohammed's gardens of delight with the Christian heaven of harps and celibacy, it becomes apparent why significant numbers of Christian men turn Muslim while conversions the other way are almost non-existent.
William Harwood, Mythology's Last Gods: Yahweh and Jesus, 248
The thought of an old man becoming aroused by a child is one of the most disturbing thoughts that makes us cringe as it reminds us of pedophilia and the most despicable people. It is difficult to accept that the Holy Prophet [Mohammed] married Aisha when she was 6-years-old and consummated his marriage with her when she was 9. He was then, 54 years old.
Ali Sina
In 1992, Islamic assassins had gunned down my good and brave friend Farag Foda, a professor and columnist, a human-rights activist, and an outspoken critic of the Islamic militants. The murder had shocked Cairo and terrified intellectuals... Egypt's most popular preacher, Abdel Hamid Kishk, a blind sheikh who constantly attacked both the government and its official religious establishment...had been telling his audience that Muslims who entered paradise would enjoy eternal erections and the company of young boys draped in earrings and necklaces. Some of the ulema, the religious scholars at al-Azhar University, the governments seat of Islamic learning, had disagreed. Yes, they said, men in paradise would have erections, but merely protracted, not perpetual. Other experts disputed the possibility of pederasty in paradise. "Is this what concerns Muslims at the end of the 20th century?" [Farag] Foda asked in a column in October magazine. "The world around us is busy with the conquest of space, genetic engineering and the wonders of the computer, while Muslim scholars," he wrote in sadness and pain, "were worried about sex in paradise."... he was killed.
Judith Miller
Sharia Law practically means: stoning of women for "honor" offences including for the "crime" of having been raped; beheadings for apostasy or blasphemy hand/foot amputations for "lesser" offences; public hanging of homosexuals and outspoken women; incessant war against infidels and especially Jews; black slavery; female sexual slavery; FGM [female genital mutiliation]; no democracy; no human rights; everyone down on their knees; Mullahs as Gods; non-Muslims as dhimmis; no music except for drums (ask "Cat Stevens"); no dancing; public floggings for "sexual crimes" such as flirting or speaking with an unrelated person of the opposite sex; all women under the veil; prison rape-brothels run by the Mullahs; and so forth. It is perhaps the most cruel and violent system of human life and social organization which has so far been invented, and it came to the world from those populations once only living in the desert "dead heart of Arabia", but now lording over gigantic sums of oil-wealth, and spreading their vile doctrines all around the world.
James DeMeo
[The Koran is one of] the most stubborn enemies of Civilisation, Liberty, and the Truth which the world has yet known.
William Muir
Some of the parchment pages in the Yemeni hoard seemed to date back to the seventh and eighth centuries A.D., or Islam's first two centuries - they were fragments, in other words, of perhaps the oldest Korans in existence. What's more, some of these fragments revealed small but intriguing aberrations from the stand Koranic text. Such aberrations, though not surprising to textual historians, are troublingly at odds with the orthodox Muslim belief that the Koran as it has reached us today is quite simply the perfect, timeless, and unchanging Word of God.... What the Yemeni Korans seems to suggest, Puin began to feel, was an evolving text rather than simply the Word of God as revealed in its entirety to the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century A.D.
Toby Lester
So many Muslims have this belief that everything between the two covers of the Koran is just God's unaltered word. They like to quote the textual work that shows the Bible has a history and did not fall straight out of the sky, but until now the Koran has been out of this discussion. The only way to break through this wall is to prove that the Koran has a history too. The Sana'a fragments will help us do that.
Gerd-R. Puin
The impact of the Yemeni manuscripts is still to be felt. Their variant readings and verse orders are all very significant. Everybody agrees on that. These manuscripts say that the early history of the Koranic texts is much more of an open question than many have suspected: the text was less stable, and therefore had less authority, than has always been claimed.
Andrew Rippin
To historicize the Koran would in effect delegitimize the whole historical experience of the Muslim community. The Koran is the charter for the community, the document that called it into existence. And ideally though obviously not always in reality Islamic history has been the effort to pursue and work out the commandments of the Koran in human life. If the Koran is a historical document, then the whole Islamic struggle of fourteen centuries is effectively meaningless.
R. Stephen Humphreys
There is no hard evidence for the existence of the Koran in any form before the last decade of the seventh century.
Michael Cook
My idea is that the Koran is a kind of cocktail of texts that were not all understood even at the time of Muhammad. Many of them may even be a hundred years older than Islam itself. Even within Islamic traditions there is a huge body of contradictory information, including a significant Christian substrate; one can derive a whole Islamic anti-history from them if one wants.
Gerd-R. Puin
...until the Crusades Islam was indistinguishable from Judaism and... only then did it receive its independent character, while Muhammad and the first Caliphs are mythical figures.
N.A. Morozov
...the history of early-medieval Arabia is nearly all legend. Like Buddha, Confucius, Jesus, and other founders of patriarchal religions, Mohammed lacks real verification. There is no reliable information about his life or teachings. Most stories about him are as apocryphal as the story that his coffin hangs forever in mid-air "between heaven and earth," like the bodies of ancient sacred kings.
Barbara Walker
The only real source of historical information about pre-Islamic Mecca and the circumstances of the Koran's revelation is the classical Islamic story about the religion's foundation...
Toby Lester
The Koran claims for itself that it is "mubeen," or clear. But if you look at it, you will notice that every fifth sentence or so simply doesnt make sense. Many Muslims and Orientalists will tell you otherwise, of course, but the fact is that a fifth of the Koranic text is just incomprehensible.
Gerd-R. Puin
[The canonization of the Koran involved the] attribution of several, partially overlapping, collections of logia [sayings] (exhibiting a distinctly Mosaic imprint) to the image of a Biblical prophet (modified by the material of the Muhammadan evangelium into an Arabian man of God) with a traditional message of salvation (modified by the influence of Rabbinic Judaism into the unmediated and finally immutable word of God).
John Wansbrough
...the prominent Egyptian government minister, university professor, and writer Taha Hussein...devoted himself to the study of pre-Islamic Arabian poetry and ended up concluding that much of that body of work had been fabricated well after the establishment of Islam in order to lend outside support to Koranic mythology.... [T]he Iranian journalist and diplomat Ali Dashti...repeatedly took his fellow Muslims to task for not questioning the traditional accounts of Muhammad's life, much of which he called myth-making and miracle-mongering.
Toby Lester
...it is time [for Islam] to assume, along with all of the great cultural traditions, the modern risks of scientific knowledge.
Mohammed Arkoun
For a long time scholars have considered Islamic origins as basically unproblematic. It seemed fairly straightforward: the founder was a figure of relatively recent history, amply documented, and many of his own writings and sayings survived. True, there had been a frenzy of fabrication, but early Muslim scholars themselves had seen this early on and moved to weed out spurious hadith (traditions of the founder's sayings and deeds). What was left seemed ample enough, as did the text of the Koran, the revelation of Allah to Muhammad. Even if one could not confess with Muslims a belief in the divine inspiration (actually, dictation) of the Koran, one still agreed the text preserved the preachments of Muhammad. The most recent generation of students of Islam, however, have broken with this consensus. Gunter Luling is joined by many in his opinion that Western scholars of Islam and the Koran had simply accepted the official party line of Muslim jurists and theologians regarding the sources for Muhammad and early Islamic history.... In fact, Western Islamicists had done everything but accept the Koran as the revealed Word of God. In retrospect one wonders why they balked at this last step!...
The Koran was assembled from a variety of prior Hagarene texts (hence the contradictions re Jesus' death) in order to provide the Moses-like Muhammad with a Torah of his own....
[T]his means that all we thought we knew of the Prophet Muhammad is really a mass of fictive legal precedents meant to anchor this or that Islamic practice once Muhammad had been recast as an Arab Moses. And the question of the origin of the Koran is no longer "from Allah?" or "from Muhammad?" but rather "from Muhammad?" or "from countless unnamed Hagarene jurists?"... And it becomes equally evident that the line between the Koran and the hadith must be erased, for both alike are now seen to be repositories of sayings fictively attributed to the Prophet and transmitted by word of mouth before being codified in canonical written form.
Robert M. Price
Sharia [Islamic law] is totally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. Women are inferior under Islamic law—their testimony in a court of law is worth half that of a man; their movement is strictly restricted; they cannot marry non-Muslims. Non-Muslims living in Muslim countries also have inferior status under Islamic law; they may not testify against a Muslim. In Saudi Arabia, following a tradition of Muhammad, who said that "two religions cannot exist in the country of Arabia," non-Muslims are forbidden to practice their religion, build houses of worship, possess religious texts, etc. Non-believers or atheists in Muslim countries do not have "the right to life"; all the major law schools, whether Sunni or Shia, agree that they are to be killed. (Muslim doctors of law generally divide sins into great sins and little sins. Of the 17 great sins, unbelief is the greatest, more heinous than murder, theft, adultery, etc.) Slavery is recognized as legitimate in the Koran. Muslim men are allowed to cohabit with any of their female slaves, and they are allowed to take possession even of married female slaves. One does not have the right to change one's religion if one is born into a Muslim family; here is how the great commentator Baydawi sees the matter: "Whosoever turns back from his belief, openly or secretly, take him and kill him wheresoever you find him, like any other infidel. Separate yourself from him altogether. Do not accept intercession in his regard." And here are the punishments in store for transgressors against the Holy Law: amputation, flogging, crucifixion, and stoning to death.
Ibn Warraq, "The Two Faces of Feisal Rauf"
Islamists are attempting to impose Shariah Compliant Finance (SCF) on Western institutions to use our own financial strengths against us. The most serious problem with SCF is that it legitimates and institutionalizes Shariah law (i.e., Islamic law), a theo-political-legal doctrine violently opposed to Western values. With $1-$2 trillion petrodollars annually looking for an investment home, blind exuberance is driving financial institutions to adopt SCF, without even a minimal baseline for legal compliance. This willful blindness, and lack of both transparency and due diligence may cause SCF to be the next sub-prime crisis, but this time with deadly consequences.
Legal Risks: Western financial institutions which adopt SCF may have criminal and civil exposure to claims of aiding and abetting sedition and the material support of terrorism, securities fraud, consumer fraud, racketeering, and antitrust violations, as well as exposure to tort claims for sedition and terrorism, and for the violation of internationally recognized norms of the law of nations.
Christopher Holton, Shariah Finance Watch
...sharia finance [is] the most serious--and most notorious--example of Islamic separatism. But who cares about that, when there is so much money to be made? ..."Islamic finance has rapidly emerged as one of the most dynamic segments of the global financial services industry and is today a global phenomenon. There are Islamic finance institutions operating in over 75 countries and with assets estimated at around US$700 billion, a figure which is growing at a rate of about 15% a year." With a May 2008 report declaring that approximately $4 trillion was available for investment in the Middle East, Islamic separatism in the form of sharia finance has become a big businesss--with Western financial institutions hurrying to get in on it by accommodating Muslims in setting up parallels financing structures in the West....
What's more, sharia finance is another tool of Islamic separatism; instead of assimilating into American society, Muslims are demanding, and receiving, parallel financial institutions that reinforce the idea that they are unique, not subject to the laws and norms to which the rest of us are subject--a privileged class. At the same time, sharia finance initiatives are giving Islamic interests increased control over Western economic life.
...what will be the outcome of this kind of thing? Holton predicts that "at best, the result could be Muslim enclaves in Western communities in which sharia supercedes native law." Or "at worst, sharia could start to creep into our lives and laws, changing our way of life little by little over time." That would be entirely in line with the stealth jihad goal of Islamizing American society.
The agents of this societal change are, all too often, Islamic scholars who have made no secret of their support for Islamic supremacism, whether advanced by violent or non-violent means. Holton notes that Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani, who has served on the Board of the Dow Jones Islamic Index (IMANX) and still holds a place on the sharia Advisory Board of several international financial institutions, explains that "the purpose of Jihad aims at breaking the grandeur of unbelievers and establish[ing] that of Muslims." He further insists that Muslims in Western countries "must live in peace until strong enough to wage Jihad"--and once they are strong enough, they will "establish the supremacy of Islam."

I also refer you to the following Verses of the Koran:
Koran 2:223
Koran 2:282 Surah 2:282
Islamic Pedophillia (Male - young boys)
Islamic pedophilia (Female – Young girls)
Thighing is dry humping. It is my contention that a "Normal" adult male cannot sustain an erection in the presence of a child or children. But it appears that a Muslim male is conditioned by years of psychological oppression and training (brainwashing) that he is not only able to achieve and maintain an erection he is also able to masturbate using a child (thighing) to achieve orgasm.
Wife beating allowed in the Koran
Prostitution in the Koran

The state of Minnesota has been slowly rolling out a statewide 800-MHz digital APCO-25 trunked system that can be used by local and state public safety agencies. Systems are currently installed in the Twin Cities, the St. Cloud and Rochester areas. While many areas remain on VHF and UHF analog systems, a digital trunking scanner is needed to monitor the state's ARMER radio system.
The best choice for a police and fire scanner for Minnesota -- especially in the Twin Cities, St. Cloud and Rochester areas -- would be a digital trunking scanner.
For more information on the digital 800-MHz trunked ARMER system in Minnesota, check this link:
Saint Louis County, Minnesota, uses analog radio frequencies and not trunked or digital communications. The best Saint Louis County police scanner radio includes all low-end scanner models. Please click on the links below for Saint Louis County, Minnesota, scanner radio frequencies:

Merrell supports the outdoors and encourages people to get outside. From its origins as a hiking and outdoor footwear innovator, Merrell has grown and expanded to include styles for any rugged landscape. Always progressive in design, Merrell shoes keep pace with your active and adventurous lifestyle. Merrell shoes exemplify the spirit of adventure with dynamic outdoor styles ranging from Merrell sandals to Merrell boots. Focused on comfort and quality with styles specific to both urban and natural landscapes, Merrell has the performance outdoor shoes you need to explore in style.
Merrell believes that the journey is as important as the destination and that continues to be their inspiration in designing footwear for your expeditions. Combining contemporary designs with innovative comfort features, Merrell creates high-quality performance shoes, sandals and boots for the outdoor enthusiast. Whether you hike, bike, run, walk, ride or just hang outdoors, Merrell offers a versatile assortment of styles for men, women and kids. One of Merrell's best-selling, much-loved styles are the Jungle Mocs. These after-sport moccasins are designed to comfort and support your feet after a hard day of work or play, and are available for men, women and kids in an array of colors and fabrics. Get inspired and explore the great outdoors in Merrell shoes.
The insole is a crucial component of the flex performance of a shoe. Using Flex Insole System Technology (F.I.S.T.) insoles, Merrell customizes the flex of each insole by using different materials and configurations, so it's just right for its intended purpose. The insoles are designed with the shoe's specific purpose in mind- stiffer soles for more stability when carrying heavy loads through rocky terrain and more flexible soles to enhance your agility while trail running.
It's a natural fact that women and men are anatomically and biomechanically different. With that in mind, Merrell specifically engineered technology, including the Q-Form® midsole, that 100% responds to the way women move. This molded midsole directs a woman's stride and provide proper cushioning, support and corrective positioning women need to have a more balanced, natural stride that allows for longer-lasting comfort.
Merrell's patented Air Cushion midsole offers all the compression needed to absorb up to four times the body's weight with a prominent heel cup keeping the foot centered for superior stability.
This revolutionary light-activated lining is formulated to absorb and neutralize odor. Because Cita-XY™ Antimicrobial's usefulness is enhanced by exposure to light, all you have to do is leave your shoes in a well-lit area after each use for optimal results
Being the creator of fleece, Polartec® knows insulation better than almost anyone. This ground-breaking fabric provides warmth without weight, breathes easily and dries quickly.
In Primaloft® technology, ultra-fine multi-diameter fibers are woven together through a process that aligns the material with the structure of the footwear, creating a cocoon that is strong yet highly resilient, breathes easily and keeps moisture and cold out
Etc.® anti-friction lining creates the lowest coefficient of friction on the market, resulting in less moisture and heat, more comfort. These smart linings maintain their color, breathe easily and are incredibly resistant to deterioration
Thinsulate™ provides you with all the warmth and no compromise. This innovative insulation provides extremely light, highly breathable insulation for both cool- and cold-weather adventures
Aegis® microbe shield takes a more aggressive approach to blocking odor and stopping it in its tracks. Aegis® never wears out, won't deteriorate with repeated washings and is environmentally sound
Ortholite® comfort foam insoles retains its cushioning longer than traditional EVA footbeds. The smart structure allows odor - and blister - causing moisture to evaporate and as an added bonus, an environmentally friendly biocide is added to combat microbes
Nothing says dry, warm and breathable like GORE-TEX®. Merrell utilizes three different GORE-TEX® technologies-Extended Comfort, Performance Comfort and Insulated Comfort, depending on the level of activity and expected tempertature
Vibram® outsoles can be found on nearly all Merrell multi-sport and hiking shoes for two reasons - No one does a better job of creating lug patterns that provide stability in all conditions and allows your foot to flex more naturally for greater comfort, and second,they provide dependable traction on both wet and dry surfaces in even the most extreme temperatures

No Hawks player welcomes the showdown with the Blues more than Brandon Bollig, who will have relish the chance to face his hometown team.
"I've never played against them in a playoff series," Bollig said. "Being my hometown it (will) be fun to go back and play in an atmosphere like that and such high pressure."
Bollig will have plenty of family and friends to cheer him on — or the Blues.
"I think they'd be rooting for me," Bollig said with a chuckle. "I've tried to convert as many as I can over the years. I think I've done a good job and hopefully … we come out on top and I convert a couple of more

Syphilitic aseptic meningitis is a complication of untreated syphilis. It involves inflammation of the tissues covering the brain and spinal cord.
Meningitis - syphilitic
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted, infectious disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. Syphilis has three main stages:
Syphilitic aseptic meningitis is a form of meningovascular neurosyphilis , which is a progressive, life-threatening complication of syphilis infection.
The disorder is similar to meningitis caused by other conditions.
Risks for syphilitic aseptic meningitis include previous infection with syphilis or other sexually transmitted illnesses such as gonorrhea . Syphilis infections are mainly spread through sex with an infected person, but they may sometimes be passed by nonsexual contact.
The doctor or nurse will examine you. This may show problems with how your nerves work, including those that control eye movement.
Tests may include:
If screening tests show a syphillis infection, more tests are done to confirm the diagnosis. One such test is the FTA-ABS test .
The goals of treatment are to cure the infection and stop symptoms from getting worse. Treating the infection helps prevent new nerve damage and may reduce symptoms, but it does not reverse existing damage.
You will receive:
Some people may need help eating, dressing, and caring for themselves. Confusion and other mental changes may either improve or continue long-term after antibiotic treatment.
Late-stage syphillis can cause nerve or heart damage, which can lead to disability and death.
Persons with late syphilis infections are more likely to get other infections and other health disorders, such as seizures.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have seizures.
Call your health care provider if you have a severe headache with fever or other symptoms, especially if you have a history of syphilis infection.
Proper treatment and follow-up of primary syphilis infections will reduce your risk of developing this type of meningitis.
If you are sexually active, practice safe sex and always use condoms.
All pregnant women should be screened for syphilis .

Lately I've been working with customers interested in using SystemVision to simulate either a real production design, or some sort of evaluation test circuit. To a customer, however, each ran into the "don't have a simulation model" challenge for one or more devices in their system. Despite SystemVision's large VHDL-AMS and SPICE model libraries, we didn't have a suitable model match. And Internet searches didn't turn up anything useful. So what is an engineer to do? The answer might be easier than you think.
SystemVision is a powerful and flexible modeling and simulation platform. Part of this power and flexibility is centered in the IEEE standard VHDL-AMS modeling language. Using VHDL-AMS, engineers can create device models of almost any type and complexity. A pretty good deal if you already know VHDL-AMS, but a pretty tough row to hoe if you first need to learn the language before creating any models. Fortunately, there is an easier way — Graphical Component Modeling.
Graphical Component Modeling (GCM) is a technique for building device models from simple, low-level building blocks. It's kind of like having a modeling Erector Set: you have a box full of modeling pieces from which you can build an almost limitless variety of useful simulation models. With a little creative imagination and a bit of engineering inspiration, you can use GCM techniques to develop some pretty amazing models without writing a single line of VHDL-AMS code. In a way, GCM is like creating SPICE macromodels or Simulink control algorithm models, but with a couple of key differences.
First, GCM isn't stuck modeling in a single discipline (think about the electrical-only limitations of SPICE). With SystemVision's building-block library, it's easy to create models in a variety of technologies, including models where the input technology is different from the output technology. Consider a pressure sensor, for example, where the input is a pressure, and the output might be a voltage or current. GCM simplifies device modeling, giving engineers a simulation toolbox full of building blocks for single and mixed-technology device modeling. Pretty cool stuff.
Second, GCM simplifies conserved system modeling using simple real number processing based on a library of math function building blocks. This is similar to control system-level signal-flow modeling for which Simulink is famous, but GCM also accounts for energy conservation in the device – not a common feature in signal-flow type models. How does this work? The answer is in SystemVision's ability to efficiently and effectively model both conserved and signal-flow systems, which GCM uses to model physical behavior. The technique is simple: use signal-flow building blocks to model device functions, then wrap the signal-flow model in conserved building blocks to ensure energy conservation and accurate modeling of physical behavior.
Graphical Component Modeling truly is a powerful technique for developing sophisticated device models without the overhead of knowing (or learning) a new modeling language. In future posts I'll introduce a few GCM-based model examples to illustrate GCM's power and flexibility. Stay tuned…
In the mean time, post a comment and let me know what analog/mixed-signal/mixed-technology modeling challenges you see in your design work. GCM just might be a viable solution.

Field horse or franchise on the rise?
Dave Eminian
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
There are dark clouds hovering over the Peoria Rivermen playoff picture these days.
But one of the silver linings to the 2007-08 season has been rookie center-left wing Julian Talbot, who has notched 20 goals and emerged as a real NHL prospect.
Talbot came to training camp as a long shot amid one of the deepest, and most talented forward groups Peoria has ever had. He was projected to spend the season at ECHL Alaska.
Instead, he is one of the top three or four rookies in the AHL.
And the parent club St. Louis Blues are going to reward him, very soon, with a two-year NHL contract. His signing is imminent, likely before the team plays again Friday.
Talbot has worked his way up the depth chart past veterans like Mike Glumac, Martin Kariya and Charles Linglet, and if he progresses next fall he could get a shot with the Blues.
