With pro days in the rearview mirror, momentum continues to shift in the scouting process, and Robert Quinn, Tyron Smith and Andy Dalton are gaining steam. Meanwhile, air has come out of the sail of Clemson's Da'Quan Bowers and Washington's Jake Locker, who could fall out of the first round altogether. Given the lack of depth at the cornerback position and the need at the position, PFW projects five cornerbacks fitting into the first round, with Jimmy Smith benefiting greatly.
1. Carolina Panthers
A.J. Green | WR | Georgia [Jr.]
With depth available in the DL class at the Panthers' greatest area of need and no can't-miss pick in this year's quarterback crop for GM Marty Hurney to feel comfortable selecting, momentum has shifted in favor of the draft's top playmaking talent. Green immediately makes Jimmy Clausen's job a lot easier and gives the Panthers a feared weapon to open up the offense.
2. Denver Broncos
Von Miller | DE | Texas A&M
Miller does not fit the John Fox prototype for defensive ends, weighing far less than the 270 pounds Fox prefers. However, Miller is one of the most coveted talents in the draft and he would give football czar John Elway the most leverage to strike a deal to slide down and pick up a number of players that better fit the defense.
3. Buffalo Bills
Cam Newton | QB | Auburn [Jr.]
Newton showed he could carry a team on his back and won championships at Blinn College and Auburn, enough for Bills GM Buddy Nix to overlook concerns about the Heisman Trophy winner's character. Although Newton might not provide a long-term solution, he is the one quarterback in this year's draft who can change the complexion of the Bills' franchise immediately and give the 71-year-old Nix and 92-year-old owner Ralph Wilson the best chance to win now.
4. Cincinnati Bengals
Julio Jones | WR | Alabama [Jr.]
Whether GM Mike Brown has a chance to deal Carson Palmer before the draft will directly influence the Bengals' decision before the draft, but if he is not able to trade the disgruntled quarterback because of the pending labor situation, Palmer could be forced to hang up the cleats or come to appreciate the support Brown has tried to supply in the offseason, bringing in new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and adding a legitimate, trouble-free, playmaking No. 1 receiver such as Jones to electrify the passing game.
5. Arizona Cardinals
Blaine Gabbert | QB | Missouri [Jr.]
No team is more desperately in need for a quarterback than the Cardinals. Ken Whisenhunt's offense was stuck in neutral without Kurt Warner, and oppposing defenses were able to key on stacking the box and shutting down the run. Gabbert will require time to develop, but he has all the requisites to blossom under Whisenhunt.
6. Cleveland Browns
Robert Quinn | DE | North Carolina [Jr.]
Moving from an odd to an even front under Dick Jauron will be very difficult without more heat coming off the edges, and the Browns lack a pass rusher on their defense who can create edge pressure. Quinn, who has the pin-your-ears-back-and-go speed to register double-digit sacks, is brimming with upside.
7. San Francisco 49ers
Patrick Peterson | CB | LSU [Jr.]
The Niners have some impact players in their front seven but lack a playmaker on the back end who can lock down half the field. Peterson has the size and physicality to press Larry Fitzgerald and contain No. 1 receivers.
8. Tennessee Titans
Nick Fairley | DT | Auburn [Jr.]
The single greatest value from an interior defensive lineman is the ability to create pressure, and with former Auburn DL Tracy Rocker on staff to continue molding Fairley, Titans GM Mike Reinfieldt could be comfortable managing the undisciplined, inconsistent Auburn star. Fairley showed he can change games when he wants to and is the most explosive three-technique in the draft. The Titans' defense has not been the same since Albert Haynesworth departed, and Fairley could provide an immediate spark.
9. Dallas Cowboys
Marcell Dareus | DL | Alabama [Jr.]
Jerry Jones is a value-driven decision maker who has loaded his roster with talent by selecting the best player available. If Dareus happens to fall to No. 9 because teams ahead of him are focused on filling needs, it would allow Jones to fill a great need of his own and also land great value. Dareus is capable of playing anywhere along a 3-4 front and could make the Cowboys' pass rush even more daunting than it already is with DeMarcus Ware, the best pass rusher in football.
10. Washington Redskins
Prince Amukamara | CB | Nebraska
Mike Shanahan is intent on improving his offense, but the defense is littered with holes as well, and Shanahan will be able to find more offensive value in the coming rounds. If Amukamara is available, he could plug into the starting lineup right away and shore up a struggling secondary.
11. Houston Texans
Jimmy Smith | CB | Colorado
Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips prefers big, physical, press cornerbacks who can hem the line — the speciality of Smith, who has a chance to surge up draft boards because of the lack of quality and depth at the CB position in this year's draft. Off-field questions could affect Smith's draft stock considerably, but teams have become more sympathetic to the difficult circumstances he has had to overcome and believe he can be controlled in the right environment.
12. Minnesota Vikings
Tyron Smith | OT | USC [Jr.]
A strong pro-day performance might allow Smith to be the first tackle drafted. Bryant McKinnie has continually invited trouble, and Phil Loadholt has struggled heavily with speed rushers. The key to developing a quarterback is to give him enough time to function in the pocket, and Smith could help provide it.
13. Detroit Lions
Aldon Smith | DE | Missouri [Soph.-3]
Although the Lions sorely could use more help at left tackle, head coach Jim Schwartz has stubbornly supported OLT Jeff Backus and could continue ignoring the problem that has kept Matthew Stafford out of the lineup. The defensive-minded head coach has serviceable ends, but Kyle Vanden Bosch turns 33 in November and the damage Smith could do from the inside has to be very attractive to Schwartz.
14. St. Louis Rams
Cameron Jordan | DL | California
Following the formula that led the Giants to capture Super Bowl XLIV, head coach Steve Spagnuolo fully understands the importance of loading up on pass rushers, and a player capable of disrupting inside and outside would allow Spagnuolo to be more creative in designing pressure packages.
15. Miami Dolphins
Mike Pouncey | OG | Florida
Part of the problem for Chad Henne has been having to deal with consistent pressure from the inside. Head coach Tony Sparano earned a head-coaching job because of the stellar job he did with the Cowboys' offensive line, but he needs more talent to work with and could plug in Pouncey right away. That would provide a more secure pocket for Henne and a rookie QB challenger to be selected in the coming rounds.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars
J.J. Watt | DE | Wisconsin [Jr.]
GM Gene Smith has made his mark on the Jaguars' roster by building inside-out, reshaping the makeup of the offensive and defensive lines and focusing on the chemistry in the locker room. While Watt lacks a "wow" factor as a pass rusher, he is a relentless performer who leaves everything on the field and will challenge the entire defense to elevate its game. He grades out off the charts intangibly and will be a cornerstone of a franchise for the next 10-12 years.
17. New England Patriots (from Oakland)
Anthony Castonzo | OLT | Boston College
The Patriots have done a very good job scheming protection on the offensive line to conceal the shortcomings of their left tackle. However, with Matt Light unsigned and Nick Kaczur proving unreliable, the Patriots would benefit heavily from a very smart, versatile and dependable left tackle such as Castonzo.
18. San Diego Chargers
Ryan Kerrigan | OLB | Purdue
The Chargers' defense has not been the same since Shawne Merriman got hurt, and replacing his production has been challenging, with Larry English struggling to make an impact. Kerrigan could team up with fellow former Boilermaker Shaun Phillips to upgrade the Chargers' pass rush. He could even take over for Phillips eventually.
19. New York Giants
Mark Ingram | RB | Alabama [Jr.]
Tom Coughlin prefers to employ a physical, ball-control, power running game, and Ingram is perfectly suited for Coughlin's approach. Brandon Jacobs did not run with the same authority a year ago and Ahmad Bradshaw is set to hit restricted free agency, creating a potential void in the backfield for the Giants.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Adrian Clayborn | DE | Iowa
The condition of Clayborn's shoulder could potentially push him out of the first round altogether, but he still fills a primary area of need for GM Mark Dominik, who has proven he knows when to take calculated risks.
21. Kansas City Chiefs
Gabe Carimi | OT | Wisconsin
GM Scott Pioli shied from investing heavily in the tackle position a year ago when he held a top-five pick, but he still could stand to upgrade his offensive line and Carimi has the ability to help readily at right tackle or guard.
22. Indianapolis Colts
Corey Liuget | DT | Illinois [Jr.]
The Colts' defense would benefit heavily from a quick, penetrating three-technique to alleviate the extra attention being paid to Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis. Liuget is best slanting and stunting and could step into the starting lineup immediately.
23. Philadelphia Eagles
Da'Quan Bowers | DE | Clemson [Jr.]
The Eagles could use help on both of their lines, and, with Victor Abiamiri returning from injured reserve, are one of the few teams with enough talent to consider drafting Bowers and shelving him for a year, if necessary. Teams have expressed serious concerns after Bowers clearly appeared hobbled at his pro day, and his Combine reevaluation could go a long way toward determining his draft status.
24. New Orleans Saints
Muhammad Wilkerson | DE | Temple [Jr.]
A college defensive tackle who projects to left end in the NFL, Wilkerson could take some time to develop while working in a rotation with Alex Brown and Will Smith as a rookie. He could give the Saints much-needed youth at the end position.
25. Seattle Seahawks
Marvin Austin | DT | North Carolina
Austin has a chance to slip into the first round after testing off the charts athletically. With Pete Carroll showing that he could get the most out of Kentwan Balmer, the Seahawks could feel more comfortable taking a chance on a player with underachiever tendencies, and it would not be a surprise if Austin climbs into the back end of the top round for a team in need of an inside rusher. If he had not interviewed so poorly, he could have gone even higher.
26. Baltimore Ravens
Derek Sherrod | OT | Mississippi State
Michael Oher looked more comfortable on the right side as a rookie than he did on the left side last year, and head coach John Harbaugh would upgrade the line considerably if he could kick Oher back to the right side and fill the left side. Sherrod has the skill set to play either left or right tackle and could give the Ravens the flexibility they need to better protect Joe Flacco and clear more holes for Ray Rice.
27. Atlanta Falcons
Aaron Williams | CB | Texas [Jr.]
The Falcons need to find a way to create more pressure on the quarterback and take some pressure off Roddy White in the receiving game, but the end and receiver positions carry far more depth than the cornerback position in this year's draft. To address struggles the Falcons had in the slot in the playoffs, Mike Smith would benefit greatly from adding a corner who is best manning the slot.
28. New England Patriots
Andy Dalton | QB | TCU
With value being greatly diminished at this point on the board, expect the Patriots to convert this year's 28th pick into a much higher selection next year by weighing offers from teams seeking to land a quarterback. Dalton sits more highly than Washington's Jake Locker on many draft boards and although he does not grade out like a first-round pick, has a chance to be the third quarterback drafted by a team seeking to reach for a need. The Vikings and Jaguars both have shown they will be aggressive targeting talent and have a need at the position.
29. Chicago Bears
Nate Solder | OT | Colorado
OL coach Mike Tice is seeking big power players on the Bears' offensive line but if Solder is available, it could prove too difficult for Bears GM Jerry Angelo to ignore. With Frank Omiyale having started his career at left guard in Chicago and showing great improvement under the training of Tice, Omiyale could kick back inside and allow Solder to take over at left tackle.
30. New York Jets
Phil Taylor | NT | Baylor
The Jets still could bring back Kris Jenkins for another season, but he is coming off back-to-back injury-shortened seasons and could easily find better offers when free agency opens, creating a need in the middle of the Jets' defensive line.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers
Brandon Harris | CB | Miami (Fla.) [Jr.]
One of the key factors in the Steelers' Super Bowl loss was their inability to handle the Packers' explosive passing game, especially when Green Bay spread the field. Harris instantly provides help in nickel situations and brings the physicality that Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau desires.
32. Green Bay Packers
Justin Houston | OLB | Georgia [Jr.]
The Super Bowl champions could use more help rushing the passer, and Houston has shown he can bring it in the Bulldogs' 3-4 front as a junior. He has the size, power and edge burst that defensive coordinator Dom Capers seeks to leverage the edge.

The 6 kalimas in Islam. Where did they come from? Which time they were formulated and by what person? I can not find any explanation about them.
sob7an-Allah (exalted is Allah) (holy and pure from any defect); it was mentioned in many verses like; 12:108, 21:22, 23:91, 27:8 "wa Sob7an-Allahi Rabb-el-3alameen" exalted is Allah the Lord of the worlds.
we are told that angels exalt Allah (na7nou nosabi7ou be7amdik) in the verse 2:30, 2:32. 21:20...etc. also we are told that all within earth and skies are exalting Allah in (17:44)"The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allāh] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving." it is a command to prophet Muhammad to exalt Allah "So exalt with praising your Lord and be from the ones who do sujoud/prostration."(15:98) it is the du3aa of the dwellers of Jannah; "their supplication in it is sobhanak Allahumma(exalted are you Allah) and their salutation in it is peace/salaam and their last du3aa is elhamdoulellahi Rabbel3alameen." (10:10) The prophets of Allah including Younis upon them peace exalted Allah when his du3aa/call in the belly of the whale was "la ilaha illa anta sob7anak enni kontou minal-zalimeen" (21:87)
El7amdoulellah all praisings and thanks are to Allah was mentioned in the second verse of Quran(1:2) "El7amdoulellahi rabbel 3alameen" and its sealed the sourah no.17 and started the sourah no.18 and in many verses of Quran like; "elhamdoulellah who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light. Then those who disbelieve equate [others] with their Lord."(6:1).. it is the du3aa of the dwellers of jannah as I said above in verse 10:10 and also in the verse 7:43)"And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment, [while] flowing beneath them are rivers. And they will say, "Praise to Allāh, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allāh had not guided us. Certainly the messengers of our Lord had come with the truth..."it is the du3aa of many prophets like sayidna Ibrahim in souraht Ibrahim verse 39 when he said; Al7amdoulellah who granted me in an old age Ismail and Isaac, indeed my Lord is hearing the du3aa/supplication/call. also the sayings of sayidna Dawoud and Solayman when they said; "Al7amdoulellahi who preffered us upon many of His righteous servants."(27:15).. it is a command to sayidna Muhammad(asws); "and say, el7amdoulellah and salaam upon His servants that he chose..."(27:59) some sourah were started with "Elhamdoulellah" like Sabaa and Fatir and sealed souraht ess-saaffaaat "sob7an Rabbika Rabb/Lord of mighty above what they describe, and Salaam upon the messengers and Elhamdoulellahi Rabbel 3alameen.
laa ilaha illa Allah, there is no deity except Allah, no-thing to be worshipped except Allah la ilaha ila howa (there is no deity except He).. "and your deity is one/single deity, there is no deity except He(la ilaha illa howa"(2:163) .. "Allah, there is no deity except Him Al7ayyou AlQyyoum..."(2:255 and 3:2) "Allah witnessed that there is no deity except Him and the angels and the ones of knowledge, la ilaha illa howa AlAziz Al-7akim"(3:18) it is a command to the prophet; "..say 'Hasbiya-Allah(sufficient for me is Allah) la ilaha illa Howa, upon Him I rely and it is He the Lord of the great throne."(Al-tawba:129).. "Allah, laa ilaha illa Howa to Him belongs the best Names"(20:8) It is the command of Allah sent down to us via messengers of angels upon what He choose from human messengers so we might be warned; " He sends down the angels, with the inspiration of His command, upon whom He wills of His servants, [telling them], "Warn that (la ilaha illa ana) there is no deity except Me; so fear Me."(16:2).. and when Allah spoke to Moses, He said; "It is ME ALLAH LA ILAHA ILLA ANA(no deity except Me) so worship Me and perform the Salah for My remembrance." (20:14) the dwellers of Jahannam/Hell were haughty when they heard the word "la ilaha illa Allah" as in (37:35).. "Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh,(la ilaha illa Allah") were arrogant.
Allahou Akbar, Allah is greater.. greater than anything in front of our eyes or mind it was the proof of sayidna Ibrahim (pbuh) that Allah should be the greater when He said; "...This my Lord, this is bigger/greater" (6:78) we are commanded to say Allah Akbar in the verse (2:185 and 22:37)
la 7awla wala qowwata ila bellah, no circumstance nor power but by Allah was mentioned in the verse (18:39) "...ma-shaa Allah, la qowwata illa bellah..
tabarak-Allah, Blessed is Allah "..tabrak Allahou Rabbel 3alameen"(7:54).. "Tabarak Allah the best of creators"(23:14).. Tabarak whom has sent down the Furqan upon His servant to be to the all worlds as a warner"(25:1).. Tabarak the name of Your lord of Jalaal/majestic and Ikram/generosity/nobelhood" (55:78) Tabarak whom in His hands is the ownership and He is upon everything able/capable."(67:1)
all these kalimaat/words are pure to Allah without mentioning anything with Him, Allah taught them to us in His books and through his servants. Sobhan Allah (pure from any defect is Him, exalted is Him), Elhamdoulellah(all praising and thanks are to Him for every thing/favor/gift), la ilaha ila Allah (there is no object deserve our worshipping except Him), Allahou Akbar(Allah is greater as there is nothing as like unto Him and no equivalent to Him. and He is more important than anything else).. la 7awla wala qowwata illa bellah el 3aley el 3azim (there is no power but by Allah, whatever He wills will be and He is the source of all powers.) tabarak Allah, blessed is Him because of the countless good in Him.
Al salaamou alaikum

you mean "el baqiyaat el salihaat" (the remaining, the good/s) as mentioned in Quran in two verses; "Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But (al baqiyaatou essali7aat)the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope." (18:46)
" And Allāh increases those who were guided, in guidance, and (al baqiyaatou essalihaat) the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse." (19:76)
and el baqiyaatou essalihaat as told by prophet Muhammad salla Allahou 3alayhi wa sallam are four; "1.Sob7aan-Allah, 2.El7amdoulellah, 3.laa ilaha illa Allah, 4.Allahou Akbar, and 5. la 7awla wala qowwata ila bellah).. (1.Exalted is Allah and pure from any defect/incomplete,2. all praising and thanks are to Allah, 3.no deity but Allah, 4.Allah is greater
and also 5.no circumstance nor power but by Allah.).. may be as some scholar said that the sixth word is tabarak Allah= Blessed is Allah.. (blessed means the many-good).. and the source of all these words are from Quran.. (if you wish I will show you where in Quran it was mentioned, plz let me know if so)
the weight of good deeds and the benefit in these words(of Zikr-illah/Allah's remembrance) is infinite it is better than this world and whatever is in it. if I can tell you some of it;
1)it is the best words to Allah; أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَرْبَعٌ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْت the most beloved words to Allah are four; Sob7aan-Allah, El7amdoulellah, laa ilaha illa Allah and Allahou Akbar, it does not matter with which one you start(it does not matter the order)
2)it is the seeds of jannah as in hadith لَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَقْرِئْ أُمَّتَكَ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ طَيِّبَةُ التُّرْبَةِ عَذْبَةُ الْمَاءِ وَأَنَّهَا قِيعَانٌ وَأَنَّ غِرَاسَهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
3)It will fill the balance(with good deeds) الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلَآَنِ أَوْ تَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْض the purity is the half of Iman, and elhamdoulellah will fill the balance/mizan, and sob7an allah walhamdoulellah will fill what is between earth and skies.
4) it is considered a sadaqa/charity; يُصْبِحُ عَلَى كُلِّ سُلَامَى مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ فَكُلُّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلُّ تَحْمِيدَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلُّ تَهْلِيلَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلُّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَأَمْرٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ وَنَهْيٌ عَنْ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ وَيُجْزِئُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رَكْعَتَانِ يَرْكَعُهُمَا مِنْ الضُّحَى in the morning upon you a charity/sadaqa, so each tasbi7a(saying sobhanAllah) is a sadaqa, and every ta7mida(saying elhamdoulellah) is a sadaqa and prohibiting from evil deed is a sadaqa and rewarded better from all of these a two rakaat in Doha/morning.
5) it is better than the world; لَأَنْ أَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ To say; sobhan Allah walhamdoulellah wa laa ilaha ila Allah wa-Allahou Akbar is better for me than whatever the sun rise upon.
6) the best zikr; أَفْضَلُ الذِّكْرِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّه the best (most preferred) Zikr/remembrance is; la ilaha ilaa Allah.
7) the best duaa is "Elhamdoulellah"
8) it is a treasure of Jannah.. la 7awla wala qowwata illa bellah.
the list goes on for endless benefits in these words of tamgid and tahmid and tawhid and takbir...etc may Allah benefit us with them. and jazakum Allahou khayran.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO7ct3rxCYU here is the link that can show You what "KALIMAS" I meant in my question "el baqiyaatou essalihaat", if I understand right, are included in "THE SIX KALIMAS" as the main part of THEM. If You can show me where the words, You listed above, were mentioned in Quran, it will be the most desired answer to my question.
(Nov 10 '13 at 10:30) Myname
elhamdoulellah by the will of Allah I will answer you in another post (because here is limited with numbers of characters)
(Nov 10 '13 at 14:39) inclined2truth
I surrender! There are not very much information about this subject. I think the following conclusions can be useful: - THE SIX KALIMAS were compiled together for people to memorize and learn the fundamentals of Islam; - THE SIX KALIMAS are used in zikr. Maybe it's not very important to know the details...
answered Nov 08 '13 at 13:34 Myname 20●3
Asalaam, I think you underestimate the importance of the Kalimahs. They are verses taken from the Quran. This is all the information needed and all there is. I think this says it all. The Quran of significance teaches the fundamental principals of Islam, in the Kalimahs.
(Nov 08 '13 at 13:55) abyadgirl
Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatuLlah! I meant that maybe it's not very important to know more than information above. I meant that if we know that THE KALIMAHS came from the Quran and if we know that THEY can be used to learn the fundamentals of Islam and that THEY can be used in zikr - this information enough for us. And maybe there's no need to look for any more information like when and by what person THEY were compiled together...
(Nov 08 '13 at 23:26) Myname
I hope you will understand me right. And I hope it will be useful for those who will read your answers above... And I also hope it will make us closer to Allah by discussing this...
(Nov 08 '13 at 23:27) Myname
These Kalimahs, as mentioned above, are taken from the Quran. The Quran is an explanation of the Kalimah Tayyabah, because the basic objective of the Quran and of the deen of Islam is Tauheed. It is to propogate the Tauheed that the messengers of Allah were sent to all the revealed religions, and for this reason the subject of Tauheed has all along been dealt with under different headings to establish its truth. Kalimah Tayyabah (sacred utterance) is also called Kalimah tauheed ( utterance of unity). The other headings being, utterance of sincerity, utterance of piety, strong rope, call of truth, price of paradise.
Ayats of the Quran, of Kalimah Tayybah,...............
Your Allah is one Allah,There is no god save Him....(Baqarah,163)
There is no god but He--the living , The Eternal....(Baqarah,155) (Ale-Imran,2)
In all 85 times this Kalimah appears in various wordings.
There are numerous Hadiths, about zikr, Rssulullah,saw,has said of the azkar, the repetition of( kalimah Tayybah) is the best,and of all the duas,(Kalimah Tayybah) is the best.

The Six Kalimahs are recorded in various books of knowledge. These kalimahs were compiled together for people to memorize and learn the fundamentals of Islam. These have been compiled from various Sahih Hadiths. Kalimas are verses taken and used , from The Quran. Also these kalimahs are used in zikr and have great reward and relinquishing of sins. In the book of Faza"il-E"Maal, in the section of "virtues of zikr", then all becomes apparent. The Prophet Muhammad,saw, mentioned about using the first three kalimas, and mentioned the power and effectiveness of them.
Kalimah Tayyibah Also known as the Word of Purity
"lā ilāha illa'llāh, muhammadur rasūlu'llāh" There is no god but Allah, [and] Muhammad [peace be upon him] is the messenger of Allah.
Kalimah Shahadah Also known as the word of testimony
Ašhadu a lā ilāha illā'llāh waḥdah lā šarīka lahu, wa ašhadu anna muḥammadan ʿabduhu wa rasūluhu. I bear witness that (there is) no god except Allah; One is He, no partner hath He, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Sall-Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam) is His Servant and Messenger.
Kalimah Tamjeed Also known as the word of glorification
Subhāna-llāhi, wa-l-hamdu li-llāhi, wa lā ilāha illā-llāhu, Wa l-lahu akbar, Wa lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāhi-l-ʿaliyyi-l-ʿaẓīm Exalted is Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no deity except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. And there is no might nor power except in Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.
Kalimah Tawheed Also known as the word of unity
la ilaha ill-allahu waḥdahu lā Sharīka lahu la-hul-mulku wa lahu'l-ḥamdu yuh-yi wa yumītu wa huwa ḥayyu-llā yamūtu abadan abada zul-jalali wal ikraam biyadhi-l khayr wa-huwa alla-kulli shay-in qad-r (There is) no god except Allah - One is He, no partners hath He. His is the Dominion, and His is the Praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is Living, who will not die, never. He of Majesty and Munificence. Within His Hand is (all) good.

As-salamu 'alaykum! Excuse me, I need help... I'm trying to translate. I can not find what is the russian for "wan-namiimati" (tell-tales) and "wal-buhtani" (blame)... Do You know any synonym of "tell-tales"? And what does it means "blame": is it "guilt" or is it "accusation"?

Salaam brother/sister, Here is a link which mey help. (There are many other links but I don't think that this is what you are after as your question asks about the origins).
As it is explained, quote
"The 6 (six) Kalimas are recorded in various books of knowledge, and are recited (and remembered) by people across the globe. These kalimas were compiled together for children to memorise and learn the basic fundamentals of a Muslim's beliefs. They are not found altogether complete in any one hadith or narration from the Prophet (peace be upon him). However, some of them can be found individually in the narrations.'
If the kalimas are allegedly Bida'h as some say, then where is the proof? Is it an innovation like the Tawheed which is divided into three categories? It requires research. Our brother Yaqin will surely be able to shed some light.

Salaam! I'm gonna wait for the "LIGHT"! :) Because I asked the same question on a great number of russian websites two weeks ago, but nobody answered me... I can not find any information in russian books too... Anyway, thank you for your answer!

Yes! The MOO Egg Hunt starts today! The clues for the first two eggs are here, but before you get cracking, here a few things you need to know:
About the clues:
• We'll post up-to 5 clues a day (one clue for each available egg)
• Each egg is 'live' for 24 hours, after that, even if you find it it's too late to win! (Sorry about that).
• We'll post a couple at around 11am GMT (for those in Europe to ponder over their morning coffee) and a couple at around 5pm GMT (for the rest of the world to get thinking about when they wake up).
• Obviously you can look for any or all of the eggs no matter where you are – we just thought this might be a fairer way to give you the clues.
• The 'Great Outdoors' hunt starts this weekend and will carry on next week.
If you get stuck:
• We've got some hints that we *might* post in the comments, if it looks like you need it!
• For more info, check out the T&C's and the FAQs.
When you find an egg:
• Go to the Egg Hunt page and tell us where you found the egg!
Clue for Egg One:
This helpful egg hides in plain sight,
Teaching you how to play.
An easy find, you bet your moo,
But it only works today!
Clue for Egg Two:
once upon the tube
Billy searched high and low for
Chocolate Machines
nowhere to be found
being Underground didn't help
but he found an egg
Yes, our Mexican Wrestling Eggs are also poetry fiends. (Never underestimate a Mexican Wrestling Egg).
Happy hunting!
Woo hooo… I have found egg 2.
I got egg one! Hope I was first
This is fun
Well, I
Egg two found….not first though ;-(
I think I got both of 'em, so I'll just roll with it
The clues are good! Love the haikus, I'm something of a poetry egg-head myself.
I found Egg 1!!
I just found Egg 2 !
Oh oh I found Egg 2 and Egg 1!
Thanks for making an online hunt where I can participate even though not on the same continent or time zone!
Is it normal after you submit yr answers, it goes "thanks we'll let you know if you have won". It doesn't tell you whether you're right or not?
I found egg 2
What should i do next ?
I'm not sure how to get the code?
1 Found. ^_^
I'm having a hard time figuring out what times 11am GMT and 5pm GMT translate to in my own time zone. I'm in CST (USA)
I *think* it would be 5a.m. and 11a.m.?
Does it mean new clues are posted during BOTH times?
where are they???
YAY i found egg 2! and maybe egg 1, but i'm not sure..
I found egg 2 but feel rather foolish for being stumped by the supposedly easy to find egg 1!
I found Egg 1 ! Well done MOO crew on putting on a funtastic egg hunt, can't wait for tomorrow's clues!
I found egg 1 but I'm having trouble with egg 2
I don't get all of this, are the online eggs only hidden on Moo and partner sites or could they be anywhere?
I think I may have found egg 1, no idea about egg 2.
Also, will there be any clarification on if any given egg is online or in the real world?
Both of them found… how much fun!! The 2nd one is… oops, sorry!!
I'm horrible at this! I thought I knew where egg #1 was, but I'm stumped on both.
I got both of these, but being in the US, this started way earlier than I was up, so no first places for me!
It's definitely a lot of fun, though!
I got one and two. Wow I love this. It keeps me occupied in Study Hall, but 3-5 are tricky!
Your blog lists only the month and year of each post (at least for me), so I don't know what day you posted this.
Hey Lisa, will the egg stickers be all over the world? How do we know if there are any in our city?
@Lisa: Thanks! It's definitely been fun playing today!
I have a question, though. According to the rules, you can only enter five egg codes. Does this mean if we got all of these clues today, we've done all the playing we can do?
came to this a day late …will start off with the day 2 eggs!
Whoah I found one! I just kinda stumbled upon it! I found Frying Fredericko! (not tellin where!)
I hadn't even heard of the contest haha, dumb luck I guess!

LONDON (AP) -- Arsenal dropped to 10th place in the Premier League after losing 2-0 to Swansea on Saturday, allowing the Welsh club to leap above Arsene Wenger's struggling side.
The Gunners had been second best for long spells and, despite an improved performance after the break, Swansea earned reward for its persistence when Spain forward Michu grabbed a late brace in the 88th and first minute of stoppage time.
Swansea rose to seventh, but Arsenal was jeered after dropping more points and falling further behind in the battle to break back into the top four.
"We are in this job to turn things around, and I am confident we will (because of) the quality of the players and the spirit we have in the team. It is a good moment to stick together," Wenger said. "I am not so much worried about (league) places, even if that is not the place you want to be.
"But I believe what is important is we get the quality of our game back. Then the places change."
Fans backing the "Black Scarf Movement" had demonstrated around the ground before kickoff, complaining at the perceived commercialization of the club following the move to Emirates Stadium in 2006.
"I know that at the moment you get some good news from everywhere because there is a lot of unrest everywhere," Wenger told the media. "I believe it is a good opportunity to stick together and show we are a strong club."

One of the questions I've received over the years is, "What type of church member do you look for as a pastor." My answer may seem odd, but I've always responded, "The normal kind."
During my pastorate I encountered my fair share of people who did not appreciate my ministry or the church for one reason or another. That's fine and to be expected.
One of my all-time favorite things to do is go to my denomination's general assembly. Before you stop reading out of incredulity, I'm not talking about the long business sessions, endless myriad of financial statistics, and administrative reports.
Office Hours talks with Rev. Eric Hausler, graduate of Westminster Seminary California and Pastor of Naples Orthodox Presbyterian Church, about Ministry and Mission.
No doubt Simon Peter's most memorable words were those of his great confession in response to Jesus' question, "Who do you say that I am?" (Matt. 16:15) "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matt. 16:16).

The world is full of obsessive motorists who spend hour after hour, and pound after pound, on their four-wheeled obsession. Countless mini-Clarksons out there think cars, from the E-type to the Land Rover to the Subaru Impreza, are the pinnacle of man's achievements. But they are sadly mistaken, because motorcycles are better.
Obviously there's less scope to carry your shopping home on the back of your bike, let alone head off on holiday with the family, but for countless reasons, cars are left in the shade by their two-wheeled cousins. Here are some of the major reasons.
There are some amazing cars to drive out there, and a handful of them don't cost the same as a house. The Mazda MX-5 and Subaru Impreza are high-class machines for average Joes but for the same price as a second-hand model you can get a superbike like the incredible Suzuki Hayabusa. New, high-quality bikes can cost £5,000 or less, and a classic Harley will set you back less a new Renault Twingo. Getting specially designed insurance like Bikesure bike insurance means you can continue enjoying two-wheeled motoring for less.
The very act of riding a motorcycle means it is a better motoring experience. Even the best driving machines are essentially boxes that keep you from the open road. This is not the case on a motorbike, where it's just you, your leathers and the incredible feat of engineering beneath you. Fresh air vs air conditioning? On a great driving road, in the sun, there is no contest whatsoever.
On the open road, motorcyclists can open up the throttle and really enjoy life while in traffic, they don't have to put up with its miseries either. Motorbikes are great for weaving through stationary traffic while drivers slowly lose their minds and the advantages don't end there. As they take up much less room, a garage can comfortably house three or four bikes, which can still all cost less than a Ford Mondeo.
While motorists pull their hair out as fuel prices climb over £1.35 per gallon, motorcyclists chalk another one up in the win column. The thirstier bikes out there get about 30 mpg, which is about the same as a Toyota Yaris. The best performers can get over 100mpg, which means they perform better than the eco friendly Toyota Prius.
Hobby Potential
There are plenty of mechanically-minded car enthusiasts who love nothing more than to slide underneath the object of their desire and tweak its parts, but the accessibility of the machinery and lack of body to mess up means bikers have far more scope for playing with their machines or even rebuilding them from scratch. Bikers don't just have the opportunity to spend more time with their bikes; there is a strong community around motorbikes, which makes them a brilliant way to meet like-minded people and travel to different parts of the country or even further afield.

FRANKFORT, KY (AP) - Gov. Steve Beshear has issued a call for a special legislative session to begin on Aug. 19 to deal with legislative and judicial redistricting.
He took the action on Thursday.
Each decade, lawmakers are required to draw new district boundaries to account for population changes recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau. Kentucky had major population shifts between 2000 and 2010, requiring changes in boundary lines to comply with the federal and state "one person, one vote" mandate.
The Kentucky Supreme Court struck down lawmakers' initial plan last year, finding the proposed districts unconstitutional because they weren't balanced by population.
Since then, two federal lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Kentucky residents who claim inaction by lawmakers has left them without adequate representation in the state Legislature.

TN lawmaker attempts a fast one, gets caught by KNS
So let me get this straight. This guy doesn't live in or represent Knox County and yet he's attempting to impact the way we select some of our elected officials?
State Sen. Tim Burchett, the head of the Knox County legislative delegation, said he only found out about the effort Wednesday evening and objected to the way the amendment entered the legislative pipeline.
"It looks to me it's trying to subvert the will of the voters (who approved the charter in 1988), especially (by) sneaking it through on an unrelated bill," said Burchett, who has announced his candidacy for Knox County mayor in 2010.
Here's what state Rep. Chad Faulkner says on his Web site: to take on the tough issues and laws that effect Campbell and Union Counties...
My priority in Nashville and goal for the 36th District and Tennessee is to bring to the floor issues that are important to Campbell and Union counties.
My goal is to use a pro-active approach and address issues head-on.
Boy, those "promises" didn't last long, did they?
Here's Faulkner's contact information, including e-mail: email@example.com

No longer together
Do not let others be your reference for who you see in the mirror.
Stop allowing people to hurt you, because you don't love you enough to walk away.
Jesus Christ, does it ever stop?
I hate to see him punish you over and over again for what you did---what you did that you owned and you worked on, and you have changed yourself for the better. He just keeps punishing you.
You are worth more. You deserve more.
Stay focused on you. Take care of you. Get rest. You have to let your back heal.

CATEGORIES Action, New Releases, Fan Rant, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalMaybe a few of you saw Fighting over the weekend; I'd guess that most Cinematical readers chose to steer clear. I kind of liked the film, which is thin and silly but has a nice measured earnestness and is beautifully directed by Dito Montiel (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints), a prodigy with a terrific sense of rhythm, motion and place. But the real reason I'd recommend Fighting to all of you is a completely deranged, unmissable performance by one Roger Guenveur Smith. Smith has bided his time over the past couple of decades in B-grade DTV efforts, small roles in Spike Lee films (he was Do the Right Thing's Smiley), and an occasional appearance in something higher-profile, like Ridley Scott's American Gangster. I hope that Fighting earns him some cult popularity and maybe some more interesting work.
He plays "Jack Dancing," a New York mobster and streetfighting kingpin who gives Channing Tatum's Shawn his first bout at the urging of hustling small-timer Harvey (Terrence Howard). He doesn't have a lot of screentime, but he takes the movie to a whole new, utterly bizarre level whenever he appears -- and in the process made me laugh harder than almost anything else this year. His performance has been described by others as "Walken-esque," but while Smith is compellingly weird in a similar way (and speaks with a comparable off-kilter cadence), he adds an element of hardass gangster menace that somehow makes the whole thing even funnier.
He storms into the movie in the context of Harvey trying to give Shawn an introduction, and I could watch on infinite replay the extended moment in which Jack looks Shawn up and down and repeatedly declares, with ridiculous tough-guy bravado, that he'll "give 'im a peep." (I laughed so hard I suspect the rest of the theater wanted to have me committed.) He shows up a few more times and similarly chews the scenery. Then, just before the Big Fight, he gives a "let's get it on" speech that is currently in the running for the always-in-flux title of "the Greatest Thing I've Ever Seen." I don't want to give too much away, except to say that it's a masterpiece of hokey, bloodthirsty malevolence, completely absurd but with syntax and repetition that almost makes it poetic, delivered by Smith with at least 150% commitment. I was in awe.
I don't want to oversell the film, which is really just decent: a "B-," or two-and-a-half stars, or whatever you prefer. (I do however want to enthusiastically endorse Dito Montiel, who is now officially one of my favorite newcomers.) But it's discoveries like Smith's hysterically oddball performance that occasionally reward taking a chance on critical black sheep like Fighting.

The skills you learn while you are at the Duke Diet & Fitness Center you can take home with you to continue a similar healthy eating plan; we even provide all recipes for the meals in our popular cookbook. Check out a sample menu here.
In your first week at Duke Diet & Fitness, you will meet one-on-one with one of our expert dietitians to discuss your weight history, special dietary needs, and any challenges you may be facing at home. We will work with you to help you understand how best to plan your meals while you are with us and, more importantly, how to best utilize our program to help you plan for your transition home. We are also available for check-ins on a weekly basis as you continue through the program.
Isn't there just one "best diet for weight loss?"
At the Duke Diet & Fitness Center, we closely follow new findings from clinical trials on the effectiveness of diets of different nutrient content. Should you eat more protein and less carbohydrates? Should you limit fat? Since most studies agree that all diets work as long as you stick to them, we allow flexibility of choices. In fact, we have found our clients are most likely to adhere to a meal plan they enjoy.
Read scientific research about different diets and weight loss.
What does a low-carbohydrate meal plan look like?
What does a higher carbohydrate meal plan look like?
What if I have to follow a special diet?
Our kitchen is able to accommodate almost any special dietary need. We provide detailed ingredient information for every dish we serve, and since you are choosing your own meals, you will be able to avoid foods and/or flavors as you wish. Read more about the most common special dietary needs we have served.
Are arrangements made for meals on the weekend?
Weekend meals can be provided by the center (see our weekend take-out meal options here) or planned on your own, or a combination of both. Clients who choose to stay in an apartment with a small kitchen may choose to purchase groceries and prepare several meals themselves in order to practice for home. Even if you have just a fridge and a microwave, this can still be an option. Clients may also choose to practice eating out at restaurants for any or all meals on the weekend; sometimes group outings are arranged among clients. Whatever your choice, the nutrition team will provide the guidance you need to enjoy a successful weekend "on program."
Comprehensive Nutrition Education
Nutrition knowledge doesn't end in the dining room at the Duke Diet & Fitness Center. Weekly nutrition lectures and group workshops will teach you how to create a healthy, individually tailored meal plan that fits within your lifestyle. Your experience is further enhanced with a virtual grocery store tour, cooking demonstrations, and healthy restaurant dining strategies that truly make this a total immersion approach to learning about how good nutrition can sustain your health and help you achieve your optimum weight.

Jewish sororities are just under 100 years old. The first Jewish sorority, Alpha Epsilon Phi (AEPhi), was founded at Barnard College in 1909; the second, Sigma Delta Tau (SDT), made its debut at Cornell University eight years later.
Back then, Jewish women were denied membership in other sororities, so they started their own. Today, though most campus sororities welcome women regardless of their religious affiliation, there's been a surprising resurgence of interest in Jewish sororities in the last five years, with new chapters forming and once-defunct chapters blossoming. Today, eighty-seven colleges have either an Alpha Epsilon Phi or Sigma Delta Tau presence, and twenty-five have both.
To find out why the revival is happening, we asked Jewish sorority members themselves.
Why did you choose a Jewish sorority?
Diana Levine Smith (Sigma Delta Tau, 2006 graduate, College of Charleston): "SDT was the one place on campus I truly felt at home. I'd been active in my B'nai B'rith Girls chapter in high school and I was looking for that instant connection you only feel from people who have grown up with you and understood what you've been through."
Carly Dachis (senior, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Indiana University): "My decision was more about comfort than religion. I felt most comfortable with the Jewish women at AEPhi because they were like my friends from home."
Naomi Wischnia (junior, Alpha Epsilon Phi, University of Pittsburgh): "Over winter break I visited Poland. When I think back to that moment of walking through Auschwitz, I find myself appreciating the freedom I have here to express my Jewish identity with my sisters."
What surprised you about Jewish sorority life?
Carly Dachis: "For one thing, how much I now want to learn about my religion—not because I have to, but because I feel I should. When, as an AEPhi member, I served on the executive board of Indiana University's Dance Marathon [a major fundraiser planned solely by sororities and fraternities], I was asked a lot of questions about my religion by the other students on the committee, like why do men wear kippot? That experience made me want to know more."
How has being a sorority member influenced your relationship to Judaism?
Diana Levine Smith: "It helped me to see the importance of keeping my faith and passing it along to my children. Also, I now see how much we, as Jewish women, can do to support our world. As part of our philanthropic organization Jewish Women International (JWI), which works to address domestic abuse both within and outside the Jewish community, we at SDT raise funds to support their programs and promote their 'Strong Girls, Healthy Relationships' initiative to collegiate members. Knowing that our chapters around the country are assisting young mothers and children everywhere is an incredible feeling. I now feel real pride in being Jewish."
Meredith Tiras (senior, Sigma Delta Tau, University of Southern California): "Having grown up in Incline Village, Nevada, home to only six Jewish residents, I explored Jewish cultural traditions for the very first time through SDT. I was also surprised by all the sisters' dedication and hard work. From the outside, it looks like sorority life is all fun and games; and the media tends to report on the negative issues—Greek parties and alcohol problems. Actually it's like running a family business—lots of dedicated community outreach work by everyone—finding venues for philanthropic programs, using vendors, doing public relations, having to stick to a budget. It's exciting to see the rewards."
Diana Levine Smith: "Being in a Jewish sorority not only allowed me to celebrate my religion with people who understood my Jewish commitment; those same people helped me plan my Jewish wedding. And my 'little sister,' with whom I've shared many Jewish holidays, was a witness at my ketubah signing."
Why are new Jewish sorority chapters forming and defunct chapters gaining second life?
Rebecca Solomon (2006 graduate, founding sister, Alpha Epsilon Phi, University of Central Florida): "Jewish collegiate women are taking matters into their own hands, demanding that they have a sisterhood where they can feel completely comfortable."
Julie Bunson (sophomore, founding member and president, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Virginia Commonwealth University): "There is a true need for a social outlet for Jewish women. It's great to be in a Greek letter organization, but it becomes something special when you understand the underlying values and the 'why are we here?' question. It's an amazing feeling to be able to go home at the end of the school year, or during break, and tell people about what I became a part of, and what became a part of me."
—Connie Savitt Sandler, national president of Alpha Epsilon Phi from 2003 to 2007 and director of public relations and marketing for Sholom Community Alliance in Minneapolis

Church of England 'must solve women bishops issue'
5:50pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in News
THE Church of England must resolve the row over women bishops to stop Parliament passing laws to enforce change, Banbury MP Sir Tony Baldry has said.
The Conservative – a church estates commissioner in Parliament – said women must be allowed to attain bishop status.
The Church's general synod last month narrowly rejected the reform.
Sir Tony told Parliament on Wednesday: "Some voices this evening, quite understandably, have suggested that if the Church of England does not act, Parliament might need to.
"It is my earnest prayer that over the coming months the Church of England can and will demonstrate that it can resolve this issue itself."
The Anglican added: "Everyone within the Church of England recognises that until we can resolve the issue of women bishops, we will not be able fully to fulfil our role as a national Church.
"This is not an issue that can be parked."
Sir Tony said: "One cannot have a category of second-class women bishops or in some way create a church within a Church to accommodate this matter."
Arguments against the reform include honouring tradition and Bible teachings.
Others warn that ordaining women would prevent unity with Roman Catholics.

Surely the same applies to bishops.
Anything else is just selfish sexism and contradicts 'god'. What else is a 'calling' but the will of god.

It's quite simple to resolve the problem and that is to come into the 21st century and simply ignore the sex of the person if they wish to become a bishop.
The whole row on gay marriage is something equally as stupid. Why shouldn't same sex marriages be allowed and afforded the same rights under the law and in the church? Does it matter?

King Joke says...
It may fall foul of equality law, but the church will drag its heels for as long as possible to try and maintain market share.

Tony Lad, concentrate more on your driving, and less on things that you know nowt about. But as you have stuck your nose in, your Government will ban homosexuals from being wed in this same church as you say that Women should have equal rights. So are you saying that you (and your Government) regard homosexuals as second class citizens not worthy as equal human beings? Ah wee Tony lad, you may have fooled (paid off) the police to get off of your dangerous driving, but you don't fool us here. QUESTION. Why are you calling for equal rights for Women, but not Homosexuals? Answer in a thousand blustering words that doesnae even come close to answering it please.

Police in Westampton believe at least two thieves burglarized two homes in broad daylight on a weekend.
Mary Heisler tells FOX 29's Stephanie Salvatore she wasn't home when the burglars broke in through the back door of her home over the weekend.
The thieves managed to rummage through her kitchen cabinets and even used her own pillow case to steal every piece of jewelry she owns.
"You feel violated, very violated," Heisler said. "Because they went through your personal drawers, so, of course I was cleaning all of my clothes yesterday (Sunday) because you don't know what they were doing in your drawers."
Investigators say they received reports of a white utility van in the area of the two homes that were hit with at least two men walking door-to-door.
"Apparently, they're knocking on doors at first to see if someone's home,"Detective Roger Rogers of the Westampton Township Police Department said. "If someone answers the door then they'll ask if you need anything done around the house."
In another home, police say more jewelry was taken along with a handgun.
Even neighbors who haven't been hit tell FOX 29 the news of the crimes has taken away their peace of mind.

The flames, which began near Mil Road and Kissam Ave, were being fueled by strong winds, according to officials. Nearly 100 acres of land was scorched in the brush fire.
People from as far away as New Jersey and Manhattan reported seeing giant clouds of black smoke.
The fire reportedly started when an abandoned house caught fire and quickly spread to multiple structures. According to fire officials, at least three homes have been damaged in the blaze.
Thirty homes were evacuated as a precaution.
No injuries were reported.

I feel everything. From the bath water that's slightly too cold, to the pain in that old man's eyes as he walks through the street and wonders how he came to be so alone. I think such small and intricate thoughts; untouched blades, so dangerously sharp. These thoughts cut the deepest and yet a part of me craves to swim in a river of red. I want to watch myself bleed in the comfort of knowing I'm not alone and nor are the hidden droplets of life that no one else has thought to look for. That's why shallow people are often so beautifully pristine - they are thinkers of common thoughts: blunt knives that cut no deeper into their smooth skin than the hands that caress their bodies.
Lonely are the sufferers.
my god this is the most amazing thing i have ever read

It was supposed to be a dream trip to the United Kingdom to visit a friend, but a 19-year-old St. Paul woman ended up getting kicked out of the country for reasons she still doesn't understand.
As a member of the Minnesota National Guard -- and as a person with a clean criminal record -- Rochelle Burnes didn't expect to run into any trouble on her first trip overseas. Unfortunately, she was barely allowed off the plane.
Burnes told FOX 9 News she believes never having been overseas before counted against her, along with money she had in an account. As a student, she took out a $2,500 loan for the trip. When she told a UK border agent about it, it seemed to be a red flag.
"I started getting grilled with questions," she recalled.
She had been heading to New Castle to visit a friend studying abroad, but that dream vacation turned into a nightmare once she crossed the pond.
"'What's the reason you are here? What's your friend's full name? What's her phone number? Do you have proof you are leaving the country?'" Burnes recalled. "I showed her my itinerary that was a round-trip ticket."
Even so, Burnes said her answers weren't enough to clear her to pass. Instead, she was taken to a holding cell and fingerprinted. Throughout the entire ordeal, Burnes made a point to tell the agents she is a member of the Minnesota National Guard.
"I figured me telling her I was in the military would prove right there there was no way I could have dishonest intentions in the United Kingdom," Burnes explained.
In the end, it didn't change their minds. After six hours, she was denied entry and given a letter that read in part, "You have asked to enter the United Kingdom for one week but I'm not satisfied you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for the limited period as stated by you."
That letter also mentioned the loan Burnes took out.
"I did not find it credible that in order to pay for a one week trip to the UK you had to take out a bank loan which it will take you two years to repay," the leader read.
Agents escorted Burnes back to a plane and sent her home, cutting her trip very short very quickly.
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Burnes protested.
According to Bob Hajek, an attorney who specializes in aviation law, the UK border agency is more into profiling and using interview techniques to limit access, unlike the TSA. Even so, he says Burnes' experience is an odd one.
"It's unusual for any country to do that as abruptly as to what happened to her," he said.
Unfortunately, Hajek says once a U.S. citizen leaves the country there's not much that can be done.
"The U.S. Embassy in London has no jurisdiction. They cannot help her," he explained. "It's all regulated by the British authorities, so they can deny entry for any reason they wish."
Although she's back at home, Burnes isn't backing down yet when it comes to finding out why she was booted.
"It was definitely a slap in the face," she said. "There is no justifiable reason for denying me entry and I don't understand and I want answers."
Burnes told FOX 9 News she plans to contact the embassy and the UK Border Agency, but Hajek says her best bet is to hire an attorney in London.

Vacations and minimum wages are ruining America
Original post made by Genius on Mar 13, 2013
That's because the U.S. doesn't have great vacation policies. Only 59 percent of U.S. workers have access to paid time off, according to the Labor Department. The U.S. is the only major developed country that does not require companies to give their employees a minimum number of vacation days.
In contrast, 60 countries, plus Hong Kong, require vacation time, according to the consulting firm Mercer.
Why? Because these paid, nonworking days that the unions are largely responsible for getting for their members in America contributes to inflation. American economists have determined that the best way to fight inflation is to cancel American workers' vacation days. "If we could cancel all paid vacations, and lower all workers' wages below the artificially established minimum wage, we'd be on the way toward an inflation free society," stated Milton Bondsman of Northern Alabama University. He continued: "Without so doing, employers are forced, absolutely forced, to raise prices that contribute to overall inflation rate."
Dan Wiener, citing oblique sources, stated that it is proven that paid holidays and vacations for workers makes them soft and, over time, is likely to turn them into "softies" like the French workers are. "We need work, work, and more work, and the lower the wage and fewer the vacations the better it is for employers, and that is really what counts in the end."

Dear Samuel,
In a free society, people get to make as much money as they can and spend it on what they want. It is our most sacred freedom. If employers want to pay their workers slave wages, that's there freedom to do that. I ask you, what is more important than having a lot of money and being able to go to the mall and buy what you want?

The earliest fossil of the homo sapiens family (human beings) was found in Ethiopia, dating back more than 200,000 years. Compared to this length of time, even the "ancient Sumerians" from 6000 B.C. are drooling toddlers.
Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.
In June 2001 the African Union was formed, consisting of 53 African States organized, like in the EU, around common economic and political development.

Whitney Flood serves imaginative farm-to-table cuisine at Muddy Leek in Culver City.
Muddy Leek's New Winter MenuMuddy Leek (8631 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA) Map it
Everything on the creative, unpredictable menu at Muddy Leek is made from scratch and sourced from local farms. With far more small plates than entrees served at this year-old Culver City eatery, it's easy to indulge in a wide variety of delicious flavors. Muddy Leek's imaginative farm-to-table cuisine is, naturally, adapting to the seasons with a new selection of cool-weather items. Among the highlights of the menu of new dishes and older favorites are the Niman Ranch pork chop, made even heartier with its accompaniments of rosemary turnips, charred radicchio, apple, and chili; the cauliflower croquettes with house-made cauliflower kimchi; the mushroom, spinach, and leek tart; and the butternut squash risotto with rosemary and pine nuts. As we head into winter, Chef Whitney Flood shared with us that he'll be using lots of wintery greens, watercress, "pungently earthy" green garlic, black radishes, kohlrabi, and chanterelles. His winter plans also include serving up a Japanese hot pot dish. Muddy Leek's cocktail list includes such pleasures as the HS Thompson (spiced rum, Green Bar orange, lime, ginger, cardamom, and star anise), Blind Lemon Jefferson (rye, lemon juice, and bitters), and the classic French 75. Dessert standouts include the chocolate sugar pie with maple custard and oatmeal crust, and the oh-so-seasonal pear upside-down gingerbread cake with pecan crumble and chai cremeaux.

Rashad's thumb is still giving him problems, so Dana White has substituted Machida in for the title shot.
I was really looking forward to Evans and Jones, as I think Evans would've been a real test. Even Jones himself has acknowledged that Evans used to take him down and hold him down at will in practice when they were both training at Greg Jackson's.
Machida will be a challenge as well, but in a different way. Machida has great timing, and may be the best counter-striker at 205. His karate base was a weakness against blitzers like Shogun, but it may serve him well against Jones, who is also a calculated striker. Machida's biggest problem will be getting past Jones's Dhalsim-like legs, which he uses as a jab to keep opponents at bay.
If Machida can get Jones's timing down, we may see his chin get tested. Jones has a shit gas-tank as well, whereas Machida has shown the ability to come on strong late in fights.
Overall I'm really hyped for this fight, and I will be cheering (hard) for Lyoto Machida for the first time in my life. If he can land another one of those Karate Kid Crane Kicks it will be fucking SWEET.
