Startup Costs: Under $2,000
Home Based: Can be operated from home.
Part Time: Can be operated part-time.
Franchises Available? No
Online Operation? Yes
Business OverviewPurchasing 200 commercial-grade litter cans and securing high-traffic indoor and outdoor locations for the litter cans to be installed can potentially generate advertising revenues of $6,000 per month. For this very unique advertising business to succeed, the following two aspects must be considered. First, secure highly visible locations to install the litter cans such as in front of retail stores, inside malls, and inside community and recreation centers. Additionally, the property or business owners must agree to maintain the litter cans in exchange for a portion of the advertising revenues generated. Next, aggressively market the advertising service to local companies who want to participate in a highly effective advertising campaign that costs only $30 per month.

My spirit shall rejoice in God
Who breaks my chains of guilt and fear;
For God upholds each person's worth
Throughout the ages of this Earth.
I support very much the call to 'create new memories' for Christmas and I believe the place to begin is with children. However, one of the best known children's Christmas carols is 'Away in the Manger', and this much loved carol has many wrong messages imbedded in the words. The second verse of the traditional words speak of Jesus 'looking down from the sky' and the last verse has Jesus up in heaven and the singer requesting him to 'fit us for heaven to live with you there'. I believe my third verse takes the dualism and the 'away' Jesus out and replaces it with the Biblical teaching of very last verse of Matthew – 'And I will be with you always, to the end of the age'. This surely is the Gospel.read more
When Christmas comes it brings great joy;
This story of a baby boy;
The birth of life – divine event
That tells us all of God's intent
To be at one with human life,
In all its beauty, all its strife.
If cobwebs fill the corners
That lurk within our mind
Our faith can help us brush aside
Each clinging thought we find
We are children of the Cosmos,
We are subject to its laws,read more
The Cosmos in all its wonder
SINGS A MAGIC SONG.read more
Charge our hearts with wonder,
God of sheer delight,
As we sense your presence
Filling day and night.
If Heaven is more than simply a place,
If pictures of God evolve evermore,
If love is affirmed as life's highest grace
The mystery remains, the sacred expands
To gift compassion's transforming embrace.
When masks of God both age and die,
With intervening deities,
As doctrines lose their rigid hold
And freedoms grow like forest trees
Leave behind illusion's ways
Culture plants within the mind,
Clothed in vestments of the faith
Masking truths we need to find,
No one can share my inner space;
There I am alone, yet not alone,
For you are there, O God,
Deeper than my thinking,
Introduction In my faith journey, I have struggled with the concept of the Trinity. Like many other followers of Jesus I suspect, I have lived for many years with questions, even misgivings, about this doctrine. The orthodox …read more

Click above for gallery of photos released by Clearwater, Florida police
Today in Clearwater, Florida, a judge sentenced Nick Bollea, son of famous WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan, to eight months in jail for reckless driving. Last August Bollea crashed his father's yellow modified Toyota Supra into a palm tree while street racing. Not only did he total the car, but his friend John Graziano who was riding shotgun that night will now require lifetime medical care for his critical injuries. The young Hogan was reportedly led off to serve his sentence immediately after it was handed down by the judge. In addition to the jail time, Bollea will also be on probation for five years and lose his drivers license for three. After all the hoopla that's led us to this point in Nick Bollea's tragic story, the only thing we can say is that the roads are probably safer tonight.

New auto-crowd tech writes better articles than pro writers TRUE
5 Stars!
This is one of your funniest articles since... February 2011 at least, Lester.
I still don't understand half of it, even after reading every word several times...
Now, if every one of your alter-egos got 50 pennies for writing it - what do I get for reading it all? (-;
Keep up the good work!
Microsoft Tag emerges from beta
I happen to like it
Microsoft Tag is a great solution, mainly for companies wanting to track the efficiency of the tags (i.e how many people scan the tag on a certain billboard, TV-show or newspaper).
I've tried it in its beta phase, and it's very convenient. I can manage my tag and re-associate if I replace my website etc.
Intel offers non-Jewish Saturday workforce in Israel plant row
Hello again. Everyone who wanted proof for my claims - you'll get it during Friday, as right now I'm downloading today's and yesterday's Newscasts to extract the reports about this matter and upload them to my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/MusicHunter85) in a few hours.
I have some things to say here...
@MAFOO has asked "Isn't this discrimination? Isn't up to the individual whether they want to work on a holy day or not? Should Intel really let itself be bullied by religious zealots like this?"
As someone who lives in Jerusalem, I saw what happened over the last weekend:
What Intel did was open one of its several factories in Israel, one that has been out of order in the last couple of years for financial reasons (mainly the new factory built in the southern region next to an existing one). Right before reopening the Har-Hotzvim fab Intel has announced that its religious employees (who had to work in other places during the last couple of years) are going to have to choose - work on Saturday or get downsized.
One of the most anti-religious MKs was interviewed on Friday, and she said that she wasn't supporting the acts of violence, but supporting the fight against a company that decided to enslave people 7 days a week (!!!) in the holy name of Capitalism.
Intel's fab isn't the first business in town to open on Saturday. It's just the first one to announce that people who want one rest-day per week are too spoiled to work...
YouTube Lad from Lagos stranded in London
Haines, I'm not the only one who has you...!
@dickwillard, you're absolutely right. I have suspected it for a while, and by now I'm most certain that this was Lester's campaign from the very beginning. The whole story was created to fit Bootnotes' pattern.

If a court considers that there are good reasons, it may order the release of a defendant on the defendant's entering into a promise (recognisance or bond) to be of good behaviour for such period as the court thinks fit, usually between six months and three years [see Criminal Law (Sentencing) Act 1988 (SA) ss 39 and 40]. This can occur with or without a criminal conviction. Payment of a sum of money may be specified in the event of non compliance and guarantors may be required to ensure compliance [see s 41].
A court may impose conditions within the bond [see s 42(1)] such as:
- being under the supervision of a community corrections officer
- undergoing medical, psychological or psychiatric treatment
- live at a particular address or not to live at a particular address
- perform community service work
- abstinence from drugs or alcohol
- payment of compensation
The Court has power to vary or discharge a bond. The application is made either by the probationer or the Minister for Correctional Services [see s 44]. The Court cannot extend the period within which the community service is to be performed by more than six months [see s 44 (1b)] The Minister may also waive the obligations of probationers to comply with any conditions requiring supervision if the Minister for Correctional Services is satisfied that it is no longer necessary for there to be supervision and it is not in the best interest of the probationer to remain under supervision [see s 44(2)]. The Court may also by order discharge the bond [see s 44(3)].
When a person does not comply with a condition of a bond, then they can be enforcement proceedings lodged against them [see s 57]. Usually this occurs when someone commits a further offence, have not completed community service work or have not complied with supervision by a community corrections officer. When this occurs the Court can require payment of the monetary sum attached to the bond, order payment of the guarantee, convict and sentence the person, allow further time to complete community service work, or if the breach is trivial or there is proper grounds for excusing it, the Court may not do anything [see s 58].

Population Regulation of Black-throated Blue Warblers
January 1, 2003 by Gregory Gough
Intensive and long-term studies of black-throated blue warblers at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire reveal a fairly stable population . What keeps them from becoming too numerous or helping them become numerous after a lean year, is of interest to scientists studying how populations regulate themselves and has long-term implications with regard to climate change and habitat destruction.
Studies of this warbler have shown that crowding and site-dependence are two factors that keep their population in check.
The study was begun in 1969 and continues to the present. Such long-term data studies on birds are rare but useful for understanding population changes.
This article summarizes the information in this scientific paper:
Rodenhouse, N. L., Sillett, Terence Scott, Doran, P. J. and Holmes, R. T. 2003. Multiple density-dependent mechanisms regulate a migratory bird population during the breeding season. Proceedings of the Royal Society (London) B, B270: 2105-2110.

- cincodemayo1 Jul 5, 2006 07:43 AM
I'm a newbie here, so be gentle.
Sorry folks, but Versailles doesn't cut it.
I'm originally from Miami Beach, and I know my cuban food. The only place that really comes close is Porto's (in Glendale and now NoHo) but they're not open for dinner! Eating cuban IS eating dinner at like 10pm. So I'm looking for real cuban places. I've tried this one place south of Washington Blvd. (on Sepulveda, can't think of the name) and it wasn't bad, but it's a little out of the way now (I'm in Hollywood).
It'd also be great to get a cup of cuban coffee in the morning, but I can't find a place that makes it the real cuban way (tons of sugar, stirred with a drop of coffee in a small silver pitcher). I tried the coffee at Versailles once, and I think they used Maxwell House with some milk mixed in (café con leche).
Let me know what you've found!
Years ago, there used to be a place in Pasadena called Isle de Caribe or something like that. It's long gone, but Pasadena does have Xiomara which should fill the bill. There's also a branch in Hollywood (on Melrose) but it's not as quite as realized as Pasadena and Xiomara herself seems to hang in Pas. Not cheap but pretty good. Incidentally, if you long for things Cuban, you might take in Andy Garcia's "The Lost City." It's slow but lovely. Restaurantwise, there is also Cuba Central (or is it Cafe Central?) downtown but it's not as good as Porto's IMHO.
re: mc michael
Cuba Central(on Spring St across from the Reagan building)has been closed by the health dept. a couple of times, and has now been closed for close to a month. Even if it does reopen, beware!
re: calabasas_trafalgar
While the food isn't anything special, I've never noticed anything to "beware" of at Cuba Central. According to the LA County Department of Health Services site, the most recent reasons for closure are:
No plans submitted
No Public Health Permit
Sounds like their management is the problem [not the food].
I work nearby in the Bradbury and have missed having CC open for a quick lunch. Hope they're back soon.
I've heard good things about Xiomara (in fact, I live a block and a half away from the Melrose location) but I have yet to try it.
I looked at their website once though, and to be honest, $12 for a cuban sandwhich for lunch is a bit rediculous. You can get that same sandwhich, probably bigger, at an authentic cuban place in Miami for about $3. Maybe that's what it costs to eat cuban food in LA?
Actually, I'll probably give Xiomara a try one of these days since my new job gets me 15% off on food and alcohol there!
I'll have to check out The Lost City. Have you seen Buena Vista Social Club?
Good try, but for now I'll be sticking with Porto's. Any other suggestions?
re: cincodemayo1
Xiomara is more a dinner place than a sandwich spot. Have seen Buena Vista and it's livelier than Lost City but they would make a good mini-festival. I think it does clearly cost more to eat Cuban in LA than Miami but then there's the air fare that you can save by eating here.
re: cincodemayo1
I would stay away from Xiomara. It is very expensive (4 of us went there for lunch and the bill came to $85 excluding tip) and the food was bland and took a long time to get there. The black beans were so-so. I do agree with you about Miami's Cuban food. Only in NY have I had Cuban food that is better than Miami's. Anyhow, to get something close to Cuban coffee, try Vietnamese coffee. It is strong and a bit sweeter but with a kick.
re: El Comelon
I'll bite. Where in NYC did you have Cuban food better than Miami? What dishes and why? Just curious.
Los Angeles just doesn't have the CUban community that those cities do (or Carribean basin in general).
Please try El Cochinito at 3508 Sunset Blvd. in the Echo Park/East Hollywood area. It is very close to your neighborhood. I hear it is very authentic, but since I don't really know cuban food well, I can't confirm that.
I went there a few weeks ago and had the cuban style roast pork. It was delicious and very tasty. I would love to hear your evaluation.
re: young_chower
I've heard good things about El Cohinito and I've been meaning to try it. As much of a fan of the sandwiches that I am, I'm mainly looking for more dinner items so that's probably the place to try. I'm really looking for a good Vaca Frita (I've been making it myself lately) and some great rice and beans and plantains. So I'll definitely give this one a try soon!
re: young_chower
I'm a big fan of El Cochinito and it seems completely legit. The roast chicken and pork are both lovely. They have great plaintains and beans. Please let us know if it passes you Cuba-test
re: reality check
Where is the Orange Circle?
re: cincodemayo1
It is in the city of Orange where Chapman and Glassell intersect. There is a traffice circle and it is like stepping back into time because of the old building still in tact. In fact many movies set in the past have been filmed using the circle as a back drop.
Felix is a great, casual and very inexpensive restaurant. Very much worth a try if you are in the area.
El Floridita is a humble cuban spot in a Hollywood strip mall that you may want to check out.
I can't say it is as good as the food I've had in Miami but hey, it's not 2500 miles away either.
The are open for lunch and dinner and are located in the shopping center/strip mall on the southwest corner of Vine and Fountain.
Hey--I've been to Xiomara and I have to admit it was okay, but if you want homestyle, no-fuss Cuban then El Cochinito on Sunset in Silverlake is the best--their lechon asado is great--but its the beans, man. They make the best beans!
Versailles doesn't even come close--I had their fish the other day and it was terrible.
re: Yummy Sound
I may try to make it to El Cochinito tonight...
As for Versailles, don't even get me started. It's not the worst cuban place I've ever been to, it's just not even close to the best. The details are totally wrong. Like cuban coffee doesn't come from a Maxwell House can (and it's not hard to get the real stuff) and cuban toast traditionally comes on long slices of buttered and pressed cuban bread. The food isn't bad, it's just not right.
i cant believe no one has suggested el colmao.
its on pico between hoover and vermont on the south side.
i've only eaten there once, and to be perfectly honest im no expert on cuban food, but every time i go there it feels very cuban, (ie. mostly cubans eating there.) they serve a gallicean bean soup on certain days. there is a dessert called tocino de cielo (bacon from heaven) that i havent seen on most menus.
i too am not a fan of versailles, el rincon criolo in the westside is better. i like portos and i used to go to cafe tropical when i was in the neighborhood. but if i want a chunk of fried pork ill head to el colmao.
i'd like to know what a dude who really knows his cuban thinks.
i know that its been around forever, if not the original cuban joint in la.

re: modernist
This place has marvellous food - never disappoints; great sangria, galacian soup has deep chicken flavor (they must use 9 chickens to a bowl to get this kind of broth); tongue on Mondays. The down side is the neighborhood but the parking lot in front has a guard who will "take care of the car" when promised a tip - leaving the lot I usually have someone tap on the window to make a sale. Drive fast. The food's worth it.
re: Babette
Cafe Atlantic no longer exists as a separate entity. It is now part of the Xiomara restaurant itself.
re: Jack Flash
Thanks for that info. I called & they still have all the Cafe Atlantic menu items (plus full bar).

I'm a big fan of La Cubana in Glendale. They have limited days and hours, but have been around since the early 70s. I don't think they are open for breakfast but I love their lechon.
If it's real you want, then few come any more authentic -- or more humble -- than LA CARIDAD on Temple St. just West of Alvarado in Historic Filipinotown. It's the non-descript storefront across from the art gallery and the husband and wife team are as genuine as the food they cook. Not sure if it's affiliated with the NYC cult fave Chinese Cuban of the same name (I doubt it) but, get a plate to go, make the trek a few blocks north to Echo Park and dine alfresco aside the ducks, the lotus pad and the statue of Jose Marti.
I was born and raised in Miami. I have Cuban family and have eaten the food my whole life at home and in restaurants in Miami. If you are looking for something even approaching the mediocrity of La Carreta you won't find it in LA. I'd kill for a Pollo Tropical even.
There is no Cuban restaurant in LA that manages to get everything right (even Porto's - what's with the cafe and bad sandwiches?)
(Note: I haven't tried La Cochinita yet so maybe that's my holy grail).
The best you can do is a piecemeal approach:
- La Cubana in Glendale has an excellent version of Ropa Vieja. Very authentic. Avoid their arroz y frijoles though. The moros is passable only.
-Havana Mania in Manhattan Beach has good lechon and great mojitos but again poor arroz y frijoles.
-Cafe Baracoa in Atwater Village had the most authentic flan I've had in LA and good arroz y frijoles but I was not blown away by their other dishes though i haven't been in awhile.
-El Colmao. I was expecting the best Cuban food in LA there based on the hype. I was extremely disappointed with nearly everything I had there. It deserves another try but I have trouble going back based on the meal I had.
Avoid Xiomara in Pasadena - no Cuban food should be priced that much. Versailles, as you noted, is a joke.
re: oro3030
Havana Mania is very easy to get to Southbound on 405 freeway it is 150 yards from the off ramp at Inglewood Ave. Make a right go over railroad tracks and pull into pkg lot. The Rabo Encendido is excellent. The Lechon is very good and the chicken breast also is good. Have fun and tell Luis I said Hi this is Eddie who moved to the Tampa area from Torrance....
Check this out, take your pick! That simple.
re: Ollie
Good list! I'll have to look into these.
I've actually been to Madre's in Pasadena (I think I went during Happy Hour) and it was actually very good! It's not really cuban, more of a caribbean mix, good tapas dishes, but they do have some cuban plates, like paella.
I've also been to Paladar, and that's also not your traditional cuban. It was actually pretty good (I remember a roasted corn app covered in some kind of white cheese and then brushed with a chili pepper powder) and the cuban sandwhich wasn't too bad either.
We've neglected to mention this Asian-Latin fusion scene known as Asia de Cuba. Probably a ripoff but clearly a nicely designed establishment. http://www.mondrianhotel.com/mondrian...
re: mc michael
LOL How many well-designed restaurants in LA are actually good?
It's a bit far but you might try Habana Cafe, 11402 Old River School, Downey, CA (562) 776-7251. I also like the coffee at Cafe Tropical in Silverlake.
I'm no expert, but here's my two cents:
I love Porto's sandwiches and papas rellenas. I'm not cuban, but damn are they good.
Xiomara is overpriced, but Cafe Atlantic (now in the back of Ximoara) did have great yuca fries and ropa vieja. They had a great roast pork that they made into a sandwich, but I just got a plate of it.
I've had a sandwich from La Cubana only. The lights were too bright for me (my peeve), so I didn't hang out too long. Delish sandwich, though, and much much bigger than Porto's for just a little more.
I've never found Cuban coffee like the kind I had in Key West the few winters I spent there.
There's also Cuban Bistro in Alhambra (it has a adjoining lounge/dance floor with live music on weekends) -- prices are also a bit high for what you're getting (around Xiomara's) but may be worth a check-out.
Madres was opened by Jennifer Lopez about 8 years ago. Never been to it.....but I assume it is Puerto RICAN INFLUENCED......
I saw a cuban restaurant somewhere around the corner of Hawthorne and El Segundo (?). It's in a stip mall. Has anyone been there? I'm curious if it's a find.
I like El Criollo on Victory near Coldwater.
The couple who run it are very sweet, and the food has never disappointed. They make a great chicken fricasee, the ropa vieja isn't bad, and I've also had delicious fish dishes there.
It's about $10 for lunch, and it just seems like the real deal. (I haven't been to Cuba, but I've been to Orlando, which isn't Miami, but at least it's closer).
Hi there. I'm a native of L.A. and agree with cincodemayo1.
There's a Cuban-Yucatecan restaurant on Melrose called Xiomara
that is actually owned by Xiomara Ardolina who is a real
Cuban born chef. She's also got a location on Raymond in Pasadena,
but the location on Melrose in Hollywood has much more "ambiente."
It serves fine Cuban influenced cuisine and has a respectable wine list.
Porto's in Glendale is the only real Cuban bakery I know of here in L.A., and it's also owned by Cubans that know how to make you a real Cafe Con Leche the way it should be made. Their pastries are excellent. Portos also serves the typical Cuban style sandwiches.
Cafe Tropical on Sunset in Silverlake is popular but has faux Cuban wares although I do like the "Che" decor. I don't think it's owned and run by Cubans. It seems to run by Mexicans which is fine as I'm Mexican too, but that's not where I go if I want authentic Cuban stuff. I believe the Cubans inherited their style of making coffee from Spain, because while travelling Spain I tried some excellent coffee. There, a Cafe Con Leche is what Italians call Caffe Latte (Latte means "milk"). End of message.

|Part of a series on Islam
|Usul al-fiqh
|Scholarly titles
For disambiguation of alternate spelling, see Hallal
Ḥalāl (Arabic: حلال ḥalāl, 'permissible') or hallal[1] is any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term covers and designates not only food and drink but also all matters of daily life.[2] The opposite of this word is haraam.
Generally in Islam, every object and action is considered permissible unless there is a prohibition of it in the Islamic scriptures.[2][3][4] Clarification is given below in detail as to what is considered to be a permissible object or action in Islam, along with the exceptions.
Halal foods are foods that Muslims are allowed to eat or drink under Islamic Shariʻah. The criteria specify both what foods are allowed, and how the food must be prepared. The foods addressed are mostly types of meat and animal tissue.
The most common example of non-halal (or haraam) food is pork. While pork is the only meat that cannot be eaten by Muslims at all (due to historically, culturally, and religiously perceived hygienic concerns), foods other than pork can also be haraam. The criteria for non-pork items include their source, the cause of the animal's death, and how it was processed.
The food must come from a supplier that uses halal practices. Specifically, the slaughter must be performed by a Muslim, who must precede the slaughter by invoking the name of Allah, most commonly by saying "Bismillah" ("In the name of God") and then three times "Allahu akbar" (God is the greatest). Then, the animal must be slaughtered with a sharp knife by cutting the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck, causing the animal's death without cutting the spinal cord. Lastly, the blood from the veins must be drained.
Muslims must also ensure that all foods (particularly processed foods), as well as non-food items like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, are halal. Frequently, these products contain animal by-products or other ingredients that are not permissible for Muslims to eat or use on their bodies.
A variety of substances are considered as harmful (haraam) for humans to consume and, therefore, forbidden as per various Qur'anic verses:
These verses also have information regarding halal foods: 2:173, 5:5, and 6:118-119, 121.
|This article reads like an editorial or opinion piece. (June 2014)
In Surah 5:5 of the Qur'an, it is written: "The food of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] is lawful for you as your food is lawful for them." Interpretation of this verse cannot and should not be oversimplified to include any food of the People of the Book as lawful for the Muslims.[according to whom?] Just as pork offered by a Christian cannot be lawful for the Muslims, similarly seafood offered by a Muslim cannot be lawful for a Jew. Thus the lawful food prescribed for the People of the Book is lawful for the Muslims, subject to the express restrictions set up in v. 3 above and reiterated in 6:145 and 16:115, particularly about mentioning Allah's name at the time of slaughtering [according to whom?]. The word ṭaʻām is the verbal noun of the root ṭaʻama (lit. to eat, to feed) meaning food, including crops, fruits, meat, vegetables, etc. Since the permitted and prohibited food are connected to the manner that an animal's meat is prepared, evidently the word ṭaʻām refers to animals slaughtered by Jews or Christians, provided that during the time of slaughtering Allah's name is invoked (6:121). The requirement to invoke Allah's name is a must. In other words the word ṭaʻām refers to dhabīḥah meat; i.e., the meat prepared after slaughtering an animal by cutting the throat (ie, the jugular vein, the carotid arteries, and the trachea) and during slaughtering Allâh's name is invoked (Ibn ʻAbbās, Mujāhid, ʻIkrimah - all quoted by Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr).[citation needed]
Some scholars from the Muslim world[who?] agree that this verse speaks about the Christians of Muhammad's time and say that Christian methods of slaughtering and consumption have drastically changed over time as the diet played lesser importance in the daily practice of Christians.[citation needed] They also point to Deuteronomy, chapter 14, verse 8, in the Bible, which says "Thou shall not eat of the swine nor shall you touch its dead carcasses." Pork and pork related products, which are forbidden in Islam, are consumed by Christians and used widely in food and food products.[citation needed]
The renowned Islamic scholar Abū Bakr Muḥammad Ibn al-'Arabī, held that because "Christians are Scripturists, God grants them a greater degree of respect than others who revere multiple divine beings; that respect is expressed through the permission of Christian meat", and therefore proclaimed:[9]
I have been asked regarding the Christian who twists the neck of a chicken and then cooks it--may it be eaten with him or may one take it from him for food? ... I say: It may eaten, because this is his food and the food of his learned and pious authorities, even though this is not proper slaughter according to us. Nevertheless, God, exalted be He, permitted their food without restriction. Everything which they regard as permitted in their religion is permitted for us according to our religion, except for what God, praised be He, has shown to be their lies.[10]
Kosher meats, which are consumed by Jews, are permitted to be eaten by Muslims.[11] This is due to the similarity between both methods of slaughtering and the similar principles of kosher meat which are still observed by the observant Jews today.[12][13]
If there is absolutely no other halal food available and the Muslim is forced by necessity, then a Muslim is allowed to eat non-halal food.[5][14]
Dhabīḥah (ذَبِيْحَة) is the prescribed method of slaughtering all meat sources, excluding fish and other sea-life, per Islamic law. This method of slaughtering animals consists of using a well-sharpened knife to make a swift, deep incision that cuts the front of the throat, the carotid artery, windpipe, and jugular veins to cause the least amount of suffering to the animal. The head of an animal that is slaughtered using halal methods is aligned with the qiblah. In addition to the direction, permitted animals should be slaughtered upon utterance of the Islamic prayer "in the name of God."

According to Islamic law, sex is permissible and limited to between those who are married, between a man and his female wife and between a man and a female captive in wars; but female captive has to be lawfully married in front of witnesses before engaging in an intimate act. If she is still married at the time of the war and her husband is still alive, the owner can choose to release her or keep her.[15][16][17]
|This section requires expansion. (August 2013)
Generally, killing is not permissible without a legitimate cause and is considered as one of the major sins in Islam.[18]
Generally, killing animals in Islam is permissible for two main reasons:
In Islam, killing a human being is not permissible without a legitimate cause,[21] especially killing a Muslim, since this has been stressed and explicitly mentioned many times in both the Quran and Sunnah.[22] According to the Islamic law, the legitimate reasons that make a Muslim's blood (life) permissible and so could be killed, can be mainly categorized into two groups:
Apostasy from Islam,[23] whether explicit or by committing any act that annuls Muslim's faith and hence becoming an apostate e.g. disparaging or disrespecting Islam's prophet Muhammad,[24] abandoning or denying the Salat,[25] etc.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter is in the k/1 class. The teachers are amazing, the staff is wonderful. Best of all my daughter loves going to school, and is learning so much more then she would at the public school.
I have been at this school for over 3 years and have seen so much progress with the new staff. I am very pleased with the progress and the fact that they have P.E. and also spanish this year. This school is great and the staff really cares about the students!!
This is my sons first year at Anthem Montessori. He is in one of the 4/5/6 grade rooms. He likes it so much more than the public school he was attending. His teachers are wonderful. The principal is great. He does have a lot of homework and he has to do a lot of projects but he is so much happier this year.
I am a huge fan of this school, and have recommended it to many Anthem parents. My daughter is currently a KDG student and will continue her education at this school, as long as I live in Anthem. I only wish they had a playground...
Awesome school and teachers. I have recommended this school to many families in the Anthem area!
I strongly do not recommend this school. The students are rude and the curriculum is very easy. Teachers dont' handle problems. P.E. is too much, also.
I have two children that attend this school. My children have learned so much both academically and socially compared to other children their ages at different schools. I am very pleased with the educators at this school and the fact that the school is secure. If I ever want to volunteer or observe I schedule a time that works for myself and the class and then I go into the classrooms. This is a great school if your students are self regulators, and as a parent you monitor your student's progress at home and throughout the year, not only at grade report times. I truly believe that schools in general are what you make of them, and to those that only blame when things didn't go your way, that is a lesson that your student is learning as well.
I do not recommend this school. My children only attended for 5 months, when we left, both of my kids were behind academically. Also, the management does not want to handle or deal with teacher problems.
They are far behind academically. My son never brought home any work. I was not allowed to speak with the teacher about this after school. There are no extracurricular activities. The director is very cold. There is very little communication and a serious lack of professionalism with the staff.
I would definitely not recommend this school. My child was only at this school for a few months before I had to remove him. One teacher in particular is extremely negative, and this teacher has been teaching for several years. The teachers have difficulty teaching students with diverse learning styles. They cater to students who are independent learners. The other students are left behind. I saw very little patience among the teaching staff. In addition, I walked into the office one day and overheard a very negative conversation from a group of teachers during their lunch hour. I said nothing, but I thought what a lack of professionalism! The students have very little homework which is not necessarily a bad thing, it is just difficult to know what they are doing all day. The projects the students do are probably one of the best things the school has going for it.
My child was a student at this school and flourished. Now I have to find an educational environment that can match this Montessori at Anthem which will be very difficult. We would recommend this school!
The Montessori School is a wonderful breath of fresh air to the not so wonderful Arizona Educational System.
Great school, excellent teachers. We love Montessori at Anthem! Our youngest has been attending since August 2006. He is doing very well there and it's so wonderful that he can work at his level (he's very accelerated). We are so impressed with Montessori at Anthem that we are transferring our 2 other children (from the local public school) to this school in August 2007.
New teacher for grades 2 and 3 and new Director are just a few of the positive changes at the school. My son came out of sn overcrowded public school and is just flourishing in this new environment. He used to hate school and learning, but now loves going to school. Small class sizes also means more personalized attention. Downside is that there are no extracurricular activities or clubs, but overall it was the best decision for our child.
My son attended the public school here in 2004 and hated it. The second week of school 2005 we moved him to this school and he has flourished. He happily returned this year. My 5 year old also is going there this year and doing very well. It is geared more toward the self motivated, but its 'curriculum' is such that most kids there are eager to discover it. The director this year is wonderful and I love all of the teachers. I feel the quality of the academics are great. The school has art once a week. There is no music, sports, or other extracurricular activities, but our community center offers everything you could possibly want. I would encourage parents to check this school out.
I see improvements are underway, with a new head mistress. The teachers seem to really care about the students and they are trying hard as a fledgling school. But it is definitely for the self-motivated, independent student. The student gets out of it what he/she puts into it. It's not a school for kids who've had problems in public school. It's a school for kids who genuinely want to learn. The case for us was that our daughter was farther ahead than most of her classmates in public school but she was overlooked because she didn't need special 'help'. She just wasn't being challenged in public school but this little Montessori school has worked out well for us!
This school is just not up to par. My child attended last year and left with huge gaps in her education. There is no structure or discipline at this school and no concrete learning plan for the child. I say to stay away, consider yourself warned.
Worst experience. Headmaster for 2004-2005 had no leadership ability whatsoever. Teacheers were not Montessori certified. Parents were encouraged to come to the classtroom to read to the class. Educators did not place a huge emphasis on reading themselves. Unsafe play environment.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has been suspended for the season opener against Tennessee for violating the NFL's substanceabuse policy.
Bowe was pulled over for speeding in a Kansas City suburb on Nov. 10, and was arrested after police found a black bag containing his wallet, driver's licence and two containers of suspected marijuana. He later pleaded guilty to amended charges of defective equipment and littering.
Bowe issued a statement through the NFL Players' Association shortly after the suspension was announced in which he apologized for having to miss the Titans game on Sept. 7. Bowe remains eligible to participate in all pre-season practices and games.

Very slimming and comfortable dress this is. Totally love the fabric and the stitching is perfect fits me better than all my dresses. Good work guys!
This dress makes me feel amazing, it's a tiny bit loose but it still looks good! I love the floaty chiffon skirt and the sequins on the bodice are a lovely touch and the sweetheart neckline is so flattering and pretty.
I ordered my wedding dress a month back from SimplyBridal, and I must say this dress is even more beautiful than I had imagined. The first thing I noticed was the quality of the details; the fabric, the beading and the stitching. I chose this dress because I love the fall of chiffon and the intricate lace make wedding gowns more stylish. The best part is its sheath design which is light and easy to carry. The sweetheart neckline won't hide my jewelry. Apart from a few lose threads at the back, the dress is just perfect!
This gown is divine! I got it as my wedding gift for my sister and she looooovess it. We picked it together but I made the purchase, and that was simple and easy.
This chiffon dress is gorgeous, it has a a lovely old fashioned, almost medieval feel to it , the sequins on the bodice are unusual and really compliment the overall design. I feel amazing in it!
I was looking for a simple yet elegant dress for my vow renewal and found just the right gown for the occasion. I purchased a sheath gown with sweetheart neckline from SimplyBridal. The dress has been made using very good quality of fabric; chiffon and lace. It is obvious the dress has been tailored by professionals because when I tried it on, it fitted so perfectly. It is so lightweight and comfortable I will be able to carry it easily during my outdoor ceremony. I am so happy I picked this dress.
