Characters FanficRecs Fridge Funny Headscratchers Heartwarming Main NightmareFuel Series TearJerker Trivia WMG YMMV main index Narrative
Grey's Anatomy is a Medical Drama. Beginning its life in 2005 as a Mid Season Replacement, Grey's quickly became known for being sort of, well, quirky, especially given its genre: in addition to McNicknaming and using the world "seriously" as much as we use the word "egregious", the show focused primarily on the romantic and sex lives of its characters rather than on the medical cases. Case in point: the first scene of the pilot episode is Narrator Meredith Grey waking up after a one-night-stand with a hot guy named Derek and rushing off to her first day as an intern at Seattle Grace Hospital... only to discover that said one-night-stand, Dr. Shepherd, works there too.The show follows the lives, both personal and professional, of a group of surgeons at Seattle Grace-Mercy West (following a merger with a nearby hospital in Season 6). Each episode is narrated by Meredith, a world-weary intern struggling to deal with her mother's Alzheimer's syndrome. Though initially focused on five interns and their immediate superiors, the show has introduced numerous characters since its onset, resulting in a large ensemble cast. Additionally, the show has matured some in recent years; the wackiness and sexcapades have been largely toned down, resulting in a more serious character study. Some found this deplorable, but the show continues to pull high ratings.The first season, 13 episodes, can be found for free on Hulu.Former Trope Namer for Urgent Medical Alert, Grey's Anatomy Emergency Medical Response. Should not be confused with Gray's Anatomy, the famous textbook on human anatomy the title is based on.

Firefighters from across the city helped with the 'UES Drop Off.'
All FDNY staff worked to help as many people as they could the night Hurricane Sandy hit New York City. But they have been just as active in the days and weeks after, helping New Yorkers get back on their feet. Here are just a few of the many ways FDNY members are giving back.
EMS Captain Mark Bonilla
EMS Captain Mark Bonilla, Station 19, coordinated the 'Team Bonilla Hurricane Relief Drive,' in the Bronx, collecting items for families in need on Staten Island.
"The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy was so devastating and has truly affected so many people," Captain Bonilla said. "We had to do something to help. The Bronx was spared from the brunt of this storm and it was our turn to give back. The response has been overwhelming."
He collected as much as his station could store. Pearson Moving Company donated a truck and he said they filled it full of food, water, clothes and baby carriages. He said he is also in the process of creating a non-for profit fund for his station to help in future emergencies.
"I wish we could have done more," he said.

Firefighter Dave Guilford
Firefighter Dave Guilford, Engine 22, was working at his Upper East Side firehouse on Thurs., Nov. 1, and was talking with fellow firefighters about how they wanted to organize a collection to help people in need after the storm.
As he walked home from work, he asked the owners of a local bar, Molly Pitchers, if it would be ok to use their location as a dropoff center. They agreed and on Friday, the 'UES Drop Off' was started.
"The Upper East Side wasn't seriously affected by the storm, and everyone here felt so helpless," he said. "We just provided a way for people to help."
After posting a few signs and talking to people as they headed to work that morning, he was able to gather a huge amount of donations that night. So many that he slept in his car outside the bar, just to make sure everything stayed safe.
From Friday through Sunday, they gathered enough supplies – including clothing, food and cleaning supplies – to fill nine trucks, all of which were donated by local moving companies. The following two weekends, they continued collecting and filled 18 trucks that were sent to some of the most affected areas, including the Rockaways, Far Rockaway, Long Beach, Island Park, Point Lookout, Gerritsen Beach, Howard Beach, Broad Channel and Staten Island.
Firefighter Guilford said he often goes into the affected areas to see what people need, and is planning to work with local charities to purchase building supplies like insulation and wheelbarrows to bring to those in need. He also said he might kick off another drive around the holidays.
"I've seen some of the distribution points afterwards and people were in tears," he said. "Guys from firehouse live there, everyone has friends or family there. It makes it a little more personal and I'm happy we could help in some way."
Firefighter Phil Pillet
Firefighter Phil Pillet from Ladder 56 was so moved by what happened the night of the storm, he drove down to Delaware and, with his own money, purchased three generators, a trash pump and many tool sets and brought them to Breezy Point, Queens.
He worked with several other FDNY members to start 'Operation Gut and Pump,' which is helping the people of the storm-ravaged area get back on their feet.
"We had to do something," he said. "It was a little disorganized in the beginning – and still is, somewhat – but if we put a footprint in Breezy, if something works out, we can get to other communities."
Since its inception just days after the storm hit, they have secured everything from a tent to a wipe board to keep themselves organized and make sure they help everyone who needs the support. They have about 40 volunteers working every day for the effort – many of them FDNY members – and so far they have reached more than half of the 150 homes requesting assistance.
"It's personal for a lot of us who know people in the Breezy community," Firefighter Pillet said, adding that he has responded with the FDNY's Incident Management Team to a number of tragedies like this across the country, including Hurricane Katrina. "This is my way to give back."

Everette Sands begins his third season with the Gamecocks. He was named running backs coach at South Carolina on January 16, 2012. During the 2013 season, Sands was able to find a capable replacement for Marcus Lattimore, one of Carolina's all-time greats. Sophomore Mike Davis stepped into the role as the team's top running back and produced a 1,000-yard rushing season, just the 10th in school history. He finished with 1,183 yards, the fourth-highest single-season mark in school history. As a team, Carolina was sixth in the SEC in rushing yards per game at 198.5, with 27 rushing TDs. Davis was recognized by both the Associated Press and the league's 14 coaches as a second-team All-SEC honoree. In Sands first season, the Gamecocks rushed for 19 touchdowns and averaged 139 yards on the ground. Carolina lost its top ground-gainer, Marcus Lattimore, to a season-ending knee injury in the ninth game of the season against Tennessee, but senior Kenny Miles and freshman Mike Davis stepped in to pick up the slack in fine fashion. Sands came to South Carolina after spending the 2011 campaign coaching the running backs at NC State, his 16th year in the profession. In his lone season with the Wolfpack, his backs logged four individual 100+ yard performances for the first time since 2007. Sands is very familiar with the Palmetto State, having logged two stints at The Citadel, first from 1999-2000 and again from 2005-10. During his second stint at the Charleston school, he coached three running backs who were named to the Southern Conference All-freshman team and had one back break the school's single-season and single-game records for touchdowns. Between his stints at The Citadel, Sands coached the offensive backs at Ohio University. Born July 28, 1971 in Conway, S.C., Sands earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from The Citadel in 1993. He earned four letters as a running back for the Bulldogs collecting All-Southern Conference honors in all four years. He ranks second all-time in school history with 3,926 rushing yards and with 204 points and 34 touchdowns. He garnered All-America accolades as a junior when he led The Citadel to a conference title and number one final ranking with 1,449 yards and 12 touchdowns. He served as a team captain in 1993 and was inducted into The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004. Sands got into the coaching profession originally at the high school level in 1995 when he was at Sea Island Academy in Johns Island, S.C. At that time, he was considered to be the youngest head coach in the history of South Carolina high school football. His first college coaching position came at Elon from 1996-98. Sands is married to the former Yvette Newton and the couple has two sons, Everette III "Tre" and Josiah, and one daughter, Sierra. Everette Sands


text: Dr. Laura Berman on Love and Sex | What You Need to Know About Vaginal DrynessA dry vagina is a common problem for women that affects their enjoyment of sex.By Laura Berman, PhD Although many women are embarrassed to discuss vaginal dryness, the truth is that it is something most of us will grapple with a dry vagina at some point in our lives. There are many causes for vaginal dryness, but perhaps the most common is menopause. In fact, research indicates that 40 to 60 percent of women suffer from vaginal dryness as a result of menopause. Menopause causes a dip in estrogen which can sometimes lead to vaginal dryness. Estrogen plays a role in vaginal lubrication, and it also helps to balance the pH of the vagina; so when menopause strikes, women are more likely to suffer from vaginal dryness along with yeast infections (which result from the pH being off-balance). As if hot flashes weren't bad enough! Menopause isn't the only culprit behind vaginal dryness. It's also linked to hormonal birth control, douching, infection, and stress. Sadly, some women don't ever discover the cause for their vaginal dryness because they are too embarrassed to broach the topic with their doctor. Yet a dry vagina can negatively interfere with a woman's sexual enjoyment. It can make sex painful and lead to problems in a couple's relationship. If the pain and dryness a woman experiences continues untreated for a long period of time, she may begin to cringe at the very idea of sex. This can lead her to resist sexual advances from her partner altogether, and even if the vaginal dryness does eventually abate, her memories of painful intercourse might still haunt her. Fortunately, there are a number of treatments, including prescription estrogen creams, which can reverse vaginal dryness and restore healthy vaginal tissue. Lubrication is crucial for comfort, but you can find lubricants that can actually increase your enjoyment. There are many lubricants on the market that intensify sensations and increase sexual enjoyment for both you and your partner. It's also important to ensure that your lifestyle is as healthy as possible, and to be wary of what causes vaginal dryness. As if you needed another reason to quit smoking, cigarettes can decrease circulation, which could intensify vaginal dryness. Alcohol can decrease your sensations and lead to a dry vagina, so limit yourself to only one or two glasses of wine, especially if you plan on having sex later. Additionally, when it comes to sexuality, it's important to remember that if you don't use it, you lose it! Regular sexual activity will not only lead to more orgasms for you and your partner, but it will also improve circulation to your genitals and help increase natural lubrication. Sex aids can also be a wonderful way to increase your pleasure and heighten your sexual arousal, whether you want to use them alone or with your partner. And, if you are shy about heading to a sex store, you can discreetly order from a site like drugstore.com. Your neighbors will be none the wiser! Last but not least, it's important to bring this issue up with your doctor. There is no expiration date on your sexuality, and it is up to you to safeguard your sexual health throughout your life. Last Updated: 01/09/2013Laura Berman, PhD, is a leading sex and relationship educator and therapist, popular TV and radio host, New York Times best-selling author, and assistant clinical professor of ob-gyn and psychiatry at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago. | Leave a comment To leave a comment, please log in below using your preferred network.

Muggia is a small Italian "comune" in the extreme south-east of Trieste on lying on the border with Slovenia. Muggia is the last and only flap of Istria still in Italian territory, after the Tito diktat in 1945. Its territory, limited on the sea-side by an over 7 km long shoreline featuring a coast road of exceptional beauty and on the border side by a hill system Monti di Muggia, including Mt. Castellier, Mt. S. Michele, Mt. Zuc and Monte d'Oro, that dominate over a vast landscape of Italian and Istrian coast, is characterized by a rich sub-continental vegetation of both Carsic and Istrian type. History: Muggia originated as a prehistoric fortified village ("castelliere"), around 8th-7th century BC. The territory was conquered in 178-177 BC by the Romans, who created here a settlement ("Castrum Muglae"). After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Muggia was under Ostrogoth, Lombard, Avar and Frank dominations, until, in 931, king Hugh of Italy donated it to the Patriarch of ...

By Michael Shepherd email@example.com
State House Bureau
AUGUSTA – A confidentiality bill prompted by a Portland Press Herald public-access request for a 911 transcript relating to a December 2012 homicide in Biddeford was heard by a legislative committee Friday.
L.D. 495, sponsored by Sen. David Burns, R-Whiting, a retired Maine state trooper, would alter the law to read "information or records that relate to a pending law enforcement investigation or a pending criminal prosecution" coming from 911 calls are entirely confidential. It would make illegal disclosure a Class E misdemeanor under Maine law, punishable by a maximum of six months in jail.
Burns submitted the measure on behalf of the Maine Department of Public Safety, which oversees the Maine State Police.
A department attorney, Christopher Parr, said in testimony before the Legislature's Judiciary Committee that the bill is aimed at preventing "premature public disclosure" of sensitive case material.
"Just as importantly, the clarification also ensures that the due process rights of individuals that are accused of crimes are protected so that they receive a fair trial in court," Parr said.
The bill was opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine and by an attorney who is representing the Press Herald in the Biddeford-related case.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, only six states keep 911 recordings fully confidential. Maine is one of another five states that already place certain restrictions on the release of recordings or information contained in the recordings.
On Friday, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said the recordings of 911 calls are confidential in Maine, as is personal information contained in the calls. Transcripts are public but are redacted to eliminate personal information from being circulated.
"Media make requests (for transcripts) from time to time," McCausland said. "Once we tell them what the restrictions are, they usually don't bother."
Sigmund Schutz, the Press Herald attorney, said in testimony that the state is already conservative enough on 911 disclosure.
"There is no reason to broaden confidentiality on this important information that sheds light on the performance of emergency responders and allows public oversight," he said. "It allows the public to play a watchdog role when it comes to our 911 system."
The Press Herald has appealed a judge's March ruling to withhold 911 transcripts of a fatal Biddeford shooting in December 2012 after the Maine Office of the Attorney General and the Maine State Police rejected a request for transcripts.
In March, Superior Court Justice Roland Cole denied the release of transcripts of three 911 calls in the case against James Pak, 75, accused of killing Derrick Thompson, 19 and Thompson's girlfriend, Alivia Welch, 18, and wounding a third person in a shooting on Dec. 29. Police were reported to have been at Pak's home shortly before the fatal shooting.
The Maine Office of the Attorney General has jurisdiction over homicide prosecutions, so it can control the release of what it deems to be investigative material.
In a response to the Press Herald's access request, Deputy Attorney General William Stokes wrote that the "requested material constitutes intelligence and investigative information and should not be publicly released."
"It is the position we have taken in every single homicide investigation," Stokes wrote. "End of story."
Cole ruled that there is a "reasonable possibility" that public disclosure of those calls would interfere with Pak's case and could "hypothetically influence the input of potential witnesses." The Press Herald appealed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court after that ruling.
A major point in the newspaper's case surrounds whether 911 call transcripts, public records, can be made confidential when placed in a law enforcement file.
Parr, the state police attorney, said he didn't intend to affect the outcome of the Press Herald's case by testifying in favor of the bill. But Burns' bill, he said, would clarify the issue in future cases.
Elizabeth Ward Saxl, director of the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault, supported the bill in testimony, saying sex crime victims' calls to law enforcement are "deeply personal." She suggested broadening the bill to make confidential all calls in which sexual assault is alleged.
But Jill Barkley, a public policy advocate for the ACLU of Maine, said that while there may be investigative reasons to shield certain 911 calls, making disclosure of information a crime could hurt whistleblowers.
"A victim might be frustrated by lack of police response and may desire for that information to be made public," she said. "To criminalize disclosure of information that is routinely made public in other states goes too far."

The Pacific Island Where a Dead US Soldier and Prince Philip Are Gods
Cargo cults, like just about any other cult, are completely fucking insane. They originated in early 20th century tribal communities on a number of Pacific islands. Their followers believe that either an American WWII soldier named John Frum, or everyone's favorite generational racist, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, will somehow come into possession of all the food, clothes, and guns that the West currently owns and deliver it to them. The cargo cults believe that, once that's happened, the remaining population of the world will disappear, leaving them in control of what they believe is rightfully theirs.
Sadly, these cults have all but vanished, except for on Tanna, a remote island near Fiji and New Caledonia, where they're still holding strong in their weirdly adorable delusion. Russian photographer Vlad Sokhin spent a week living amongst members of the John Frum cult in Tanna. He joined them during their annual festivities, where they all paint "USA" on their chests and march around with bamboo rifles and wooden AK-47s in the hope that an American soldier from 75 years ago will return to give them presents/kill everyone else in the world.
Vlad also visited the village of Yaohnanen, where the Prince Philip Movement is based, so I had a chat with him about the history of cargo cults.
VICE: Hey Vlad. So, tell me why these Pacific Islanders have ended up worshipping American soldiers and the Queen's husband.
Vlad Sokhin: It all started in the early 20th century, when Westerners started going to Melanesian islands, like Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. I mean, imagine seeing planes and boats for the very first time. To them, it was literally a miracle from the sky—foreign beings appearing in these huge, noisy things and bringing them rifles, clothes, and food.
I get that, but surely after the Westerners explained who they were, the islanders would start to make sense of it all?
Yeah, they did, but some local prophets started to say that the islanders were the ones who truly deserved all the cargo—that it had been dedicated to them by the gods —but that Westerners were crafty and had unfairly taken possession of it all. People started to believe that, if they imitated the Westerners, they would start to receive the same things, so they built the outer shells of planes out of wood, made landing strips in the jungle, and waited on the strips all day with flags, hoping to guide a plane into land.I assume no planes ever came?
Nope. It only really happened on Tanna, after the cults fizzled out on all the other islands, and they've stopped doing that there now too, because planes bring tourists and money to the island every week anyway. Although, some of the elders still go to the airport every day and wait for planes to arrive, in the hope that John Frum might be on one of them.
Yeah, tell me about John Frum. Was he real? Or is he just a creation of the island's prophets?
No, I believe he was a real man. Vanuatu was a British and French colony in the 30s, and in 1937 a man named John Frum apparently appeared on Tanna. He was a black soldier, probably from America, but I don't know that he was actually called John Frum. I think he might have said, "I am John from America," and the locals heard it as, "I am John Frum."
So, what was it that made him into the deity they now see him as? I assume they'd seen plenty of soldiers before him?
Yes, but he was the highest ranking soldier on the island, so the islanders saw all these white soldiers polishing the shoes of a man with the same color skin as them, and thought that was proof of God's original plan—for their people to be the rightful owners of all this cargo.
In the Pacific region, nearly 500,000 people have died from tsunamis over the last 2,000 years.

Detectives are working to establish how long a 13-year-old girl was alone on a boat before she was found and the bodies of her mother and her partner were recovered from a river.
Detective Superintendent Jes Fry, head of the Norfolk and Suffolk major investigations team, said inquiries are ongoing into how long each of the couple was dead before they were pulled from the River Bure on Sunday.
He refused to comment on reports that the mother, who has not been named, had been dead for several days.
But it is understood that the girl, who was found alone and unharmed on board the family's rental boat, was cared for and fed throughout last week. It is not thought she was locked inside the boat.
Post-mortem results have shown the woman died before entering the water, probably as the result of strangulation.
The man died primarily as a result of drowning. It is thought he committed suicide and might have also used another method, such as an overdose.
Mr Fry said: "All circumstances point towards this being a domestic incident and we will continue to investigate in order to put a full set of evidence before the coroner.
"The girl has been interviewed by specialist officers. Her welfare is our paramount concern and we will continue to support her and her family."
Police divers launched a search after officers, alerted by a boat hire company concerned that one of its vessels had not returned, found the woman's daughter alone on the boat moored in an isolated inlet between Wroxham Broad and Salhouse Broad.

Broadening Our Horizons By Brielle Goodman This month's theme is Jews Around the World. We picked this theme because we think it is important for Jews to know about the lives of other Jews in other countries. Too often, living in North America, we are sheltered from the cultures of those far away from us. We forget that there are others out there living in totally different environments from that in which we live. Am Yisrael - we are all one people, regardless of where or how we live. We have one faith, one biblical past, one heritage. I've taught Hebrew School for a couple of years now, working with middle schoolers, and each year I have done a unit studying Jews of different cultures. One year we studied Jews in Cuba. Another year, I let the students choose the countries they wanted to study, as long as they didn't choose a western culture. I wanted the students to get a view of life in other countries. I wanted them to learn that in some places, it is far more difficult to be actively Jewish. Even at age 11, the kids could understand the importance of this, and really enjoyed learning about the Jews in other countries. It taught them not to take their situation for granted. It helped them to open their eyes to the world around them and to consider more than their immediate environment.
As college students, we often lose track of what is important as well. We get so caught up in our daily lives and our academics - making the grade - that many of us forget what we actually went to college to do: learn. We are so busy regurgitating the information that we are supposed to memorize, that we forget, or think we don't have time, to go in search of other interesting and relevant information. So here's your chance. This can be the beginning of a new experience, one which will help us all widen our view of Jewish life and realize there is Jewish life all over the globe. Let's go learn about some of it! [Posted 12/28/03] |

Islamic Scholarship Meets "Cool" and "Hip"

AlMagrib Institute: Islamic Scholarship Meets "Cool" and "Hip"
By Susan Smith
CONTRARY to conventional wisdom, fundamental Islam and "cool" are not necessarily mutually exclusive. In fact, since 9/11 the pursuit of Islamic scholarship has grown exponentially, and part and parcel of this revival is a new generation of hip and self-confident young Muslims. While previous generations sought to emulate mainstream American society by shedding their scarves and beards, today's younger Muslim Americans increasingly show up in classrooms wearing traditional Muslim garb with self-esteem.
Much of this phenomenon is in response to the microscope put on Muslims since 9/11. The intense scrutiny and resulting introspection have caused Muslims to defend, protect and relish their faith and identity. As a result, North America is witnessing a burgeoning of organizations promoting Islamic education and awareness. Foremost among these is AlMaghrib Institute, which offers university-level double-weekend seminars to a growing student body of 7,000 in the United States and Canada.
Perhaps the AlMaghrib phenomenon is the result of its state-of-the-art advertising, graphics and 21st century vernacular. Or maybe it's the way reverent material is delivered with a touch of, well, irreverence.
The AlMaghrib Institute's Internet homepage reads: "Even to a seasoned Arabic ear, the name 'AlMaghrib' carries with it a collage of connotations and images. To some, it may remind them of a land—ancient Andalus or the Northwest lands of Muslim Africa. To others, the name may offer a feeling of heritage, a heritage of advanced Islamic Scholarship and discipline. And yet some—perhaps this is what you pictured—envision the sun embracing the ocean announcing the beginning of a new Islamic day......you're like, "Umm...no, actually I was thinking Maghrib prayer."
Muhammad Alshareef, the 31-year-old founder and director of AlMaghrib Institute, admits that he gets mixed reviews for his avant-garde style—even though he is scrupulous not to deviate from basic Islamic teachings rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah (practices and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad).
Students respect Alshareef's credentials (including memorization of the Qur'an, and an Islamic Law degree from the University of Medina, Saudi Arabia) and are drawn by his "hip" approach to boosting their Ilm (knowledge) and Eman (faith in God). They can visit his EmanRush Audio Web site to buy CDs which "accelerate faith…and bring a rush of blood to the mind and heart, causing tears, warm whispers of repentance, hair to stand and an overwhelming urge to prostrate to Allah; sweet." Or, they sign up for personal Islamic coaching by clicking "Dude, I'm in!" at his DiscoverU Web site.
Some of the more traditional ulama (Islamic scholars) give Alshareef a hard time, however. "They don't think it's fitting for an Islamic organization to make jest of itself," he explains, "but this attracts students. Students who want to learn about Islam don't need to suffer through serious, strict lectures sitting on a hard floor. We smile, laugh and have a good time."
Thus Alshareef imports "21 Teaching Methods of the Prophet" into the 21st century to impart scholarly material in a manner consistent with Islamic tradition, while underscoring brief, relevant, and practical applications of Islamic knowledge to daily life.
Despite the criticism by some of their elders, young Muslims love Alshareef, and today AlMaghrib Institute is offered in 16 cities, from Houston to Toronto, and from New York to Los Angeles. Particularly when many in the West view Islam as a pariah religion (with even the pope bashing its teachings as "evil and inhuman"), AlMaghrib gives a shot in the arm to those who feel misunderstood, battered and beleaguered by the press—and, worse, blamed for 9/11.
"When you sign up for a seminar," explains Alshareef, "you become part of that city's Qabeelah (tribe), and suddenly you're part of the dedicated, knowledge-seeking, hip, Muslim crowd that everyone is looking for."
And because this tribe is connected to a huge student body across North America, students feel validated and vindicated. As their faith in God soars and Islam takes on new meaning and purpose in their lives, they have an increased commitment to their religion.
Moreover, because they are getting an Islamic education generic to the 7th century, the unity in message and purpose transcends their local mosque, city or culture of origin.
Another aspect of AlMaghrib's success is the symbiotic and consultative relationship it fosters in its student body. The institute is particularly reliant on young, idealistic and hardworking volunteers to galvanize enough Muslims in their communities to welcome the establishment of AlMaghrib in their respective cities, while organizing the calendar and securing venues to offer three or four double-weekend seminars a year.
Each Qabeelah is led by an ameer and ameerah who enroll and involve as many people as possible of all ages and walks of life. "Everyone is invested. Everyone is pitching in," says Mostafa Khalifa, the ameer of New Jersey's Durbah (Pursuit of Excellence) Qabeelah. "We delegate at Durbah because everyone has unique talents, whether they be advertising, graphic arts, public relations, etc."
Munazzah Shirwani, a mother of four from Toronto's Qabeelat Majd (Tribe of Glory), describes a personal responsibility and sense of ownership fostered by the AlMaghrib tribal system. "One thing that impresses me about the more successful tribes," she notes, "is how you don't see the student ameers juggling everything themselves. AlMaghrib has created a culture of delegating responsibilities. If the leader is down, the student body doesn't go down with him or her. The tribe keeps going. In short, the leaders make themselves dispensable."
This voluntary spirit extends to enrollment in the $165 seminars. "Our students aren't attending classes because parents make them," Alshareef points out. "They're saving their allowances; they're begging their parents, 'Please can I go?!?' with an enjoyment and passion not found with the typical university student who attends classes as an unpleasant means to the end of getting a good job. Students studying to be doctors or engineers and taking AlMaghrib classes actually become better professionals because of their higher purpose. They are not motivated by money but by higher goals that will gain them the pleasure of Allah."
There is no doubt that AlMaghrib offers an education in fundamental Islam. In a recent Washington Post article, "For Conservative Muslims, Goal of Isolation is a Challenge," Alshareef was described as a former imam (prayer leader) at Dar-us-Salaam, which the paper characterized as "one of the Washington area's most conservative Muslim congregations. Many of its members believe that, in order to be true to their faith, they should live apart from secular society as much as possible."
According to the Post article, a traditional approach to Islam, often referred to as Salafism or Wahhabism, is "attractive to young Muslims searching for a more 'authentic' Islam than what their Westernized parents offered."
Alshareef's demeanor, however, contradicts the stereotype of the intolerant dogmatic cleric. This he attributes to "growing up laid back California-style in Winnipeg, Canada." His response to allegations that the institute's teachings are too strict, too irreverent, or too inclusive is to diffuse all the hype and disassociate from any Muslim group. "Allah calls us Muslims and I have no allegiance to do anything other than that," he explains. "People want to label me but they can't. We are Muslims without labels. Labels and differences put a sour taste in my mouth. They blow my mind…We should spend our lives doing positive things to build our community rather than knock each other."
A Principle of Good Works
It is this overriding principle of doing good works in the hope of "gaining the pleasure of Allah" that generates contagious enthusiasm about AlMaghrib classes. Among the institute's offerings are "The Light of Guidance: Fundamentals of Faith 101," "Route 114: Sciences of the Qur'an," and "Fiqh of Love: Marriage in Islam." Khalifa, the Durbah ameer, describes "Rules of Engagement: The Islamic Code of Ethics" as a course that "generates positive energy encouraging us to elevate our consciousness and make the world better, rather than complain about what's wrong or unfair. The more good we do, the more we increase our Eman (faith), and there is a huge ripple effect.
"I've seen this reflected in the student body with family, friends, neighbors, their masjids (mosques) and communities. We take what we learn in class and integrate it into our daily living and, as a result, our relationships and everything we do—our knowledge, faith, spirituality, and effort to do good deeds—improves."
When asked to describe Alshareef, Khalifa responds: "The boss! He's young. He's a Hafiz (one who has memorized the Qur'an) and has interacted with a lot of prominent scholars, but he doesn't consider himself a scholar. He is aware of not being a scholar. He is very confident: a successful leader with intense focus. He is immensely talented in motivating people to learn more about Islam and share the knowledge. Oh! And he loves to joke."
"I believe that Muslims really do want to learn about their religion and apply it better to their daily lives," says Alshareef, "and we will do our best to make this knowledge available to them. So long as any city can maintain the class, any city has the potential to host AlMaghrib seminars and we will be there insh'Allah (God willing)."
Next on the AlMaghrib horizon are Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom. For more information visit <

I just checked out the website.. I wish two things.. 1. That they had these classes in Philadelphia, and 2. That if they DID, that I could afford them!
I try to remember to count my blessings each day because I have many:
To be thankful for my health, and that of my loved ones, the presence of my husband and the continuation of our marriage, that we can pay our bills and have food on the table..
So many blessings but often, so little thanks!

Zimbabwe Culture, Geography and History
Culture and Customs of Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is home to a diverse range of cultures, with the predominant group being the Shona (of which most Zimbabweans belong). The ancient Shona tribal culture is rich in mythology and symbolism. Dance, song and crafts are prevalent in most African cultures but even more so in Zimbabwe where traditional soapstone carving, weaving, painting and beadwork are important features of Shona culture and folklore. The arrival of European settlers changed the face of Zimbabwe, with English cultural influences evident throughout contemporary Zimbabwe. Christianity is practiced by the majority of Zimbabweans, but ancestral worship and traditional beliefs endure, with many locals practicing animist rituals in tandem with church-attending.
Other British influences are evident, with sports like cricket and rugby having a following and the British custom of tea drinking common throughout the country. Even though most Zimbabweans live in poverty and have endured many struggles, generally they still have a huge amount of kindness to bestow upon visitors. Travellers can expect to receive warm hospitality from most locals, who have a humble and somewhat inspiring approach to life.
Geography and Environment of Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is landlocked in southern Africa and bordered by Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique and just meets the corner of Namibia. Although without access to the coast, Zimbabwe has access to water through the presence of the Zambezi and Limpopo river systems. The topography is a mixture of mountains and plateaus, which are home to wide range of flora and fauna. With grasslands and evergreen forests covering the land, Zimbabwe is home to a diverse variety of birds, mammals and plant species. With majestic mountains covered in emerald green forest, serene lakes and epic waterfalls, visitors will be treated to some of the most beautiful, unspoilt landscapes in the world while travelling through the countryside in Zimbabwe.
History and Government of Zimbabwe
Early History
The land of Zimbabwe has been occupied since the 9th century, with tribes first emerging in the Limpopo Valley before starting to occupy the highlands. Zimbabwe's early society developed into a series of kingdoms which traded commodities such as gold and copper with other nations. The Great Zimbabwe ruins are a remnant of this illustrious time in Zimbabwean history and can be visited while travelling in the Masvingo area.
Portuguese settlers arrived in the 16th century, having a devastating effect on the empire. Trade was halted and a series of wars rendered the empire near collapse at the dawn of the 17th century. The British arrived in the late 19th century, by way of Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company, which lobbied to colonise the area and control the land (and precious minerals within). By 1898 the area of Zimbabwe was known as Southern Rhodesia (with modern day Zambia known as Northern Rhodesia).
The Shona and Ndebele (along with other indigenous tribes) staged revolts against their colonisers, which were largely unsuccessful and lead to displacement, with land unfairly being allocated to European settlers, rather than local tribal people whose ancestors and families had lived there for centuries. In part, this issue of disproportionate allocation of land would return to haunt modern Zimbabwe many years later.
Recent History
Although controversial, colonial rule endured until Zimbabwe gained its independence in 1980, with Canaan Banana serving as the first President. In 1988, changes to the constitution enabled Robert Mugabe to become President. By the 1990s ethnic tensions, confrontation and political instability were changing the face of modern Zimbabwe. Zimbabweans had endured demonstrations, displacement, violence, drought, food shortages and forcible land removal. The unstable economy, wildly fluctuating currency value and drop in tourism revenue translated into widespread poverty for many Zimbabweans. With the highest inflation rate in the world, Zimbabwe still suffers economic difficulties mainly due to the collapse of the once-strong agriculture sector. Despite this, Zimbabwe's people are irrepressible, the landscapes are as beautiful as ever and tourists have begun to return to experience the natural wonders and exotic wildlife of this great land.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bloodbath Deadly!
I paired the 200gr. bullets with my Thompson Center Encore muzzleloader. Combined with 100 grains of Triple 7 pellets the bullet is moving well over 2000fps with plenty of knock down power and accuracy. I shot about a 4 1/2 year old buck this past muzzleloader season in Ohio and it weighed close to 300lbs. I shot it from just under 180 yds with the rangfinder, and it dropped him in his tracks, the way the bullet turned into shrapnel jolting his insides into jelly. I can consistently hold my Encore less than half inch groups they're usually cutting the same hole at 100yds and under 4in. at 200yds.

Why doesn't Hornady offer the FTX bullet in .451 for reloaders?It is available in loaded ammunition.
You'd have to ask Hornady.A:
FTX stands for Flex Tip, its just a bit softer than the SST. Its softer so that it can be loaded into a tubular magazine and not set of the round in front of it. The SST is ment to be used in a stacking magazine. They will or should shoot exactly the same. Hornady makes a very good bullet. I use these in my 450 bushmaster hand loads.Answers
The .452 bullet is for the .45 Long Colt.The .451 is for the .45 ACP.
It's only 1/1000 difference, but you could get dangerous pressure increases and accuracy problems.
Stick with the proper diameters as recommended by your reloading manuals.

If it is a .452 it will fit both.A:
Depends on what gun your shooting, example, 45 long colt is only for the gun that shoots it, acp stands for automatic colt pistol, uses a parabellum bullet, some pistols (revolvers) will shoot 45 acp bullet also.1 of 1
