In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam-perhaps the first such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad's life that continue to affect our world today.
From Muhammad's first "revelation" from Allah (which filled him with terror that he was demonpossessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians), it's all here-told with extensive documentation from the sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about Muhammad.
Spencer details Muhammad's development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed-with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage.
Spencer also gives the truth about Muhammad's convenient "revelations" justifying his own licentiousness; his joy in the brutal murders of his enemies; and above all, his clear marching orders to his followers to convert non-Muslims to Islam-or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule.
In The Truth about Muhammad, you'll learn
- The truth about Muhammad's multiple marriages (including one to a nine-year-old) - How Muhammad set legal standards that make it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries - How Muhammad's example justifies jihad and terrorism - The real "Satanic verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version) that remains a scandal to Muslims - How Muhammad's faulty knowledge of Judaism and Christianity has influenced Islamic theology--and colored Muslim relations with Jews and Christians to this day.
Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is essential for judging the prospects for largescale Islamic reform, the effective prosecution of the War on Terror, the democracy project in Afghanistan and Iraq, and immigration and border control to protect the United States from terrorism.
All of which makes it crucial for every citizen (and policymaker) who loves freedom to read and ponder The Truth about Muhammad. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Pilot benefit scheme failing some recipients

This pilot scheme, introduced by the government over the last few months, has led to some recipients getting into arrears with their rental payments. Paying the benefit this way has seen a higher percentage rise in several areas where the scheme is being trialled.
Having the money in their own hands has led to some using it for other purposes, which in turn has seen a dramatic rise in arrears of rent.
What are your views on this - should the government revert to the status quo quickly or continue on with this scheme? TC.

"Frankly, I'd much rather governments listened to the evidence not the people"
Surely, it's the people who provide the evidence not a government.
It's a bit like quoting what statics say, and saying that is right, on the evidence printed. But let's face it, how many statistics are right and correct, when they are based on what the person or person's doing those statistics are trying to say?.

'The people' are the ones who either distort the evidence or demonstrate by their reaction to events that they want evidence distorted before it is presented to them.
Providing it is properly collected evidence is just that.
We have to allow governments to fail as long as they then try and correct the failure.
At present, people ridicule proposals put out to consultation and then ridicule governments for revising proposals based on the outcome of the consultation.
We seem to be saying we would prefer a government that presses blindly on with a deeply flawed policy to one that has to say 'We've changed our minds'.

How NOT to have a heart attack, from a guy who should know
Send this to a friend
- Bill Hethcock
- Staff Writer- Dallas Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Twitter | Google+
American Heart Association Chairman Ron Haddock -- a heart disease survivor -- is passionate about his work for the organization.
The retired CEO and president of the oil company FINA Inc. had some blunt words of advice to potential heart attack victims -- meaning everyone -- when he stopped by the DBJ office last week.
"Since I am a heart disease survivor -- I had my chest cracked twice when I thought I was in good health -- I would encourage everybody to lead a healthy lifestyle, meaning diet, exercise and no smoking," he said. "Point two is to know your family history, because that's what got me."
Nearly 20 years ago, Haddock received a surprise diagnosis of a 90 percent blockage of three coronary arteries, requiring immediate bypass surgery. Haddock, a longtime athlete and runner, discovered a family history of heart disease that eventually led to an aortic valve replacement.
"I was an athlete my whole life and I was actually running in a race at the time I developed chest pains," he said. "But then we found in my mother's mother's family a genetic predisposition to heart disease. So know your family history."
Haddock's third point: Know your cholesterol and blood pressure numbers and make sure you're getting regular physical exams. Haddock speaks from experience when he says an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
"Sure, we've got the science to do what they did on me," Haddock told me. "To go in and do seven bypasses and replace the aortic valve. But what we really want is prevention."
The hard part is getting people to change their behavior, he said. That's why the Dallas-based heart association's board of directors is exploring various collaborations with businesses and other organizations that have a track record of changing people's behavior, Haddock told me. He declined to disclose the organizations, but said to expect announcements of joint ventures soon.

This is an ideal first project for a beginner to tackle.
First, paint the box with a coat of primer, then one or two coats of emulsion - you could use a test pot of paint for this. Cut out a flower motif for the lid and smaller motifs for the base. Attach and finish with several coats of clear varnish.
To varnish, use clear gloss varnish as it won't go cloudy, even with many coats. You can use matt varnish for the final coat, if required. For a really smooth, professional finish, you may need up to 15 coats of varnish, depending on the thickness of the paper used and the durability required.
Allow to dry between coats and sand lightly after about five coats for a smooth finish. You can get away with fewer coats of varnish if a durable finish is not needed.

"In Belfast, Northern Ireland, memories of the city's troubled history haunt every street corner, but for one tortured soul, the incredible violence in his past is also his most cherished legacy. Rea Carlisle--daughter of influential Stormont politician Graham Carlisle--has inherited a house from an uncle she never knew. It doesn't take her long to clear out the dead man's remaining possessions, but one of the upstairs rooms remains stubbornly locked. When Rea finally forces it open, she discovers inside a chair, a table, and a leather-bound book, its pages filled with a host of chilling mementos, locks of hair, fingernails: a catalogue of victims. Horrified, Rea wants to go straight to the police but her father intervenes. Graham Carlisle has worked too hard to get where he is just to have his brother's twisted legacy ruin his own. Thwarted by her father, Rea turns to the only person she can think of: disgraced police inspector Jack Lennon, a man who also happens to have briefly been her lover. But Lennon somehow finds himself the lead suspect in a murder investigation led by one of the force's toughest cops, DCI Serena Flannagan. The suddenness of the murder and his implication in it, coupled with the story Rea brought to him, leaves Lennon more than a little suspicious that the two are related and that he has once again found himself lining up against people with power and influence. Lennon will risk everything to get to the bottom of this grisly conspiracy"--Provided by publisher.

A mysterious hacker, who identifies himself only as 'Warlock,' brings down the FBI's website and posts a code in its place. It hides the GPS coordinates of a Michigan cemetery, where a dead girl is discovered rising from the ground, as if she tried to crawl out of her own grave.

just found that I'll be in Williamsburg VA for most of next week on business...any chowish recommendations?
re: Amy
People love the Trellis and I cannot figure out why. We have eaten there 3 times and have had terrible servers everytime. They seemed to be very non-caring and yet intimated me enough that I left very generous tips each time. (The tip matched the service one would expect from a restaurant like this!)
For an outstanding dining experience, spend your money at the Williamsburg Inn......the service could not be any better and the food is outstanding.
1. Pierce's pit BBQ.
2. A hot Holly sandwich at Paul's Deli on Richmond Rd. near the stadium, beer at the Green Leaf next door.
3. Sandwiches from The Cheese Shop on DoG St.
4. Italian at Sal's in the Food Lion shopping center on Richmond Rd.
There are many Williamsburg threads over on the Mid-Atlantic board. Chocolate dessert at the Trellis is a must!
Second on Pierce's for BBQ -- dig the slight hint of cinnamon in the sauce.
For breakfast, skip every single steak and pancake house on 60 (what is it with Williamsburg and these places?) and head to the Old Chickahominy House (off of 199, I think). The OCH pancakes (can't remeber if they were corn or regular) might be the best I have ever had. Thick but not dry and with a nice crunch on the outside. Country ham biscuits are great too.
tienda.com is based in Williamsburg. It's the best importer of Spanish products to the US, seems like it would be a fun place to visit (though not as fun as Spain, itself, of course).
If we could be in Williamsburg for one evening we would definitely eat at Captain George's. I know buffets are out of fashion now but Captain George's has a seafood buffet that is about a city block long. Everything is there.
On the other hand, a nice Colonial dinner at the King's Arms Tavern is also wonderful.
While you are in Williamsburg try to get to the huge "Plantation" buffet brunch which I think was in the restored historic area at Cascades---you might have to ask around as my information is a couple of years old. Of this brunch I remember shrimp Creole with grits and also oyster souffle, not your average breakfast.
A local recommends:
Breakfast: the coffeehouse Aromas on Prince George
Eagles in Kingsmill
Sun. brunch at the Lodge
Lunch: Cheese Shop sandwiches, the Golden Horseshoe clubhouse, Le Yaca for French
Dinner: Ford's Colony for very expensive, Cities Grille for moderately expensive, Sal's by Victor casual Italian, Casa Maya for Mexican Eat Well! Have Fun!
re: reiflame
What's not possible is that Williamsburg has finally become part of "DC/Baltimore and Suburban Virginia" :-)

I just read a meme of my facebook wall about this.
it said:
The King James Version of the New Testament
The king James version of the New testament was completed in 1611 by 8 members of the church of England. There were(and still are) no original texts to translate. The oldest manuscripts we have were written hundreds of years after the last apostle died. There are over 8,000 of these old manuscripts, with no two alike. The king James translators used none of these anyway. Instead, they edited previous translations to create a version their king and parliament would approve.
So, 21st century Christians believe the "word of god" is a book edited in the 17th century from 16th century translations of 8,000 contradictory copies of 4th century scrolls that claim to be copies of lost letters written in the 1st century.
That's not faith, it is insanity.

We've had our washer for about 4 months and it's been great! It's quiet, spins things hard and overall does a good job getting things clean. I have two small things to point out that might be helpful to someone...first, it is very deep. My kids can't help put stuff in the dryer because they can't reach in that deep...I feel like I'm crawling in to get that last sock sometimes. And often, things get really twisted and tangled, which in turn makes a lot of wrinkles if you weren't going to put those items in the dryer. But overall, we're happy happy happy :)

I have owned several Whirlpool products in the past and never had an issue until now. This product is simply poorly designed and a poor performer. I have read and followed the instruction manual to no avail. I have a large family and the washer has been used many times over the last six months and my wife agrees - it simply doesn't work. The clothes will not rotate (we used to call it agitate) in the drum, and those on top tend to stay on top. Pants and sheets usually become twisted and knotted together. There is simply no way sheets can be clean if they are come out like a wad of Twizzlers tied in knots. Stay away from the top loaders. We will be going back to a front loading machine as soon as possible.

Power and water saver

Comments about Whirlpool Cabrio White Top Loading Washer:
Needed to replace an older topload. The features and appearance are awesome and sold the unit but after washing with it-WOW. It cleans better and with a LOT less detergent The only thing is the cats we have don't like the whirling sounds it makes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

not as great as I thought
By jolainajo
from Clio, MI, United States
I bought this 2 months ago and am very disappointed in how all of my clothes come out so so wrinkled. No amount of drying takes them out... Only ironing EVERYTHING works and I hate to iron!! I have tried putting it on selected setting... Still wrinkles... I do like the quietness but I would much rather have a louder washer that doesn't leave my clothes in the mess they are in clean or not.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Large Tub
By Wando
from Minneapolis, MN, United States
I really am happy with my new washer. The tub is huge. Everything is coming out clean, even though there is hardly any water. I don't know how it works, but it does.
Great choice

We were in the immediate need for a washer. This washer was the 2nd one we looked at. The price was great, and have been using it almost every day, and very happy with the purchase.

My husband just bought this washer two days ago and I hate it! I'm calling on Monday to see if they can take this heap of trash back! No water, always unbalanced, twisted clothes that are dirty. Wow- what a deal!
Who Needs a Front Load Washer?
By DanNC
from High Point, NC, United States
The top-load washer replaces a front-load model. It's much quieter, easy to load and unload, incredibly intelligent, beautiful, a water miser, and fun to watch with it's see-through top.
Nice performance
By Julieric

First sorry my english it's not perfect ! I 'm very happy about m'y purchase, the product it's better than i think....and best friend décided to buy the same model .
Washer with Eco System
By Sarthvader
from Kansas City, MO, United States
I really like the Eco System feature. Takes a little getting use to for the sounds and new type of agitator. Not as quiet as I had hoped but is in a room with a door so not bad. Very deep and hard for a person with short arms to reach to bottom of tub. I definitely think it cleans better than the Whirlpool front loader I had.
Exceeds my expectations!
By Susie7
from Hummelstown, PA
I bought this Whirlpool to replace my 27 year old Maytag and I love it! It uses much less water and detergent and spins the wash much faster than my old machine that drying time is greatly reduced. This is my first Whirlpool appliance and I am happy and will definitely considering Whirlpool in future appliance purchases.

Review of Learn The ABC - LC122
By Kahealani Kaina from Wailuku, Maui on Dec 29, 2011
Bargain Hunter, Practical
Fast shipment to Hawaii, item packed very well. My 3 year old daughter uses her winterbreak playing with the carpet and learning her phonics. Received item 2 days ago, my 3 year old said "mommy come and watch me" and asked if I could give her a letter so she could pronounce her phonics. I was amazed, and will let her continue her phonics and start her on reading at 3 years old.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Lemon shortbread
THANKS to Helen Pitura for this subtle, citrusy twist on traditional holiday shortbread.
Lemon shortbread
250 ml (1 cup) all-purpose flour
125 ml (1/2 cup) corn starch
125 ml (1/2 cup) icing sugar
30 ml (2 tbsp) fresh grated lemon rind
170g (175 ml or 3/4 cup) butter, softened
coloured sugars for decorating (optional)
Preheat oven to 150C (300F). In a large bowl, combine flour, corn starch, icing sugar and lemon rind. Blend in butter with a large spoon, and then work with hands until a soft, smooth dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 5 mm (1/4 in) thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Sprinkle with decorative sugar, if desired.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. For a lemon-almond variation, add 175 ml (3/4 cup) finely chopped almonds to dough. For a lemon-poppy seed variation, add 15 ml (1 tbsp) poppy seeds to dough. Yields about 3 dozen, depending on size.
Tester's notes: Lemon and poppy seed add subtle flavour to these delicate and not-too-sweet cookies. I enjoyed making this recipe because it uses the method I learned from my mother and grandmother, which is to mix the shortbread dough by hand. The edges of my first batch frazzled a little during baking, so I put the second batch of cut cookies in the fridge to firm up for 15 minutes or so. Rolled quite thin and cut out quite small, my cookies were done by about the 12-minute mark.
For our annual 12 Days of Cookies, we'll publish a recipe every day to get you started on your holiday baking. To see last year's recipes, and this year's collection, go to wfp.to/cookies
