Erk Tha Jerk Announces November 9 Release For Nerd's Eye View + MP3
SMC Recordings And Erk's Own Red Planet Music Group Partner To Release Solo Debut(October 28, 2010 – Brooklyn, NY) Bay Area rapper Erk Tha Jerk is proud to announce the release Nerd's Eye View. The album, which serves as the official debut for Erk, who also produces and directs videos for himself and others, will be released November 9th as a joint venture between Bay Area staple SMC Recordings and Erk's own label Red Planet Music Group.Erk, born and raised in Richmond, California, is part of a supremely talented rising class of rappers coming from the Bay. He' also holds the distinction of being one of the rare few from that class with the ability to appeal to the underground while at the same time receiving mainstream radio play. "Right Here," the self-produced melody- and synth-filled sex anthem released earlier this year as the lead single from Nerd's Eye View, is one of the most-played songs on Bay Area powerhouse radio station 106 KMEL in the past year; the song subsequently broke into Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 R&B/Hip-Hop chart, has been added to rotation on MTV Jams, and amassed hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, asserting Erk as a force to be reckoned with both in the cipher and on the radio, alike.For Erk, Nerd's Eye View was a long time coming. Crafting the album over a two and a half year period – Erk released a handful of mixtapes of EP's during that time – Erk was in no hurry to rush out lackluster product. "Long nights, weed, and honesty is my formula," says Erk. "I just tried to zone out and capture moments. I didn't want to make 'party' music or 'goon' music. I wanted to capture what I felt at the specific moment in time." The result, a 13-track album on which Erk produced six songs (Traxamillion, Bedrock, and The Invasion handle the rest), finds Erk discussing the failed relationship with the mother of his child, while attempting to explain the situation his young daughter ("How Do You Love Me") with the same ease, maturity, and lyrical clarity as making braggadocios boasts ("Can't Stop Now").With Nerd's Eye View, Erk, who will be featured in XXL Magazine's upcoming Show & Prove section, shows great range; Erk has spent time in higher education, holding down 9-to-5's, and holding down corners, and the multitude and variety of those experiences are reflected throughout the album. "I wanted the title to be clever yet familiar enough for people to relate to," says the bespectacled rapper, whose cleverness extends throughout the album. "The concept was 'music from my point of view;' not nerd as in 'I know how to do math well,' but nerd as in 'not part of the in-crowd'."Erk Tha Jerk's Nerd's Eye View will be available November 9, 2010 via Red Planet Music Group/SMC Recordings.Download "I Know" here: http://media.audibletreats.com/Erk_Tha_Jerk-I_Know.mp3 .Watch the recently released video for "Anything," which will appear on the iTunes version of Nerd's Eye View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6gi8PO7vM0 .Along with DaVinci, Moe Green, and Tha Jacka, Erk recently stopped by Ozone Magazine for an impromptu cipher. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqBKNLxwT8I .Download The Prelude EP, a free offering for fans as they wait for Nerd's Eye View: http://media.audibletreats.com/Erk_Tha_Jerk-The_Prelude.zip .The Background:Debunking the stereotype of what a West Coast rapper should be is what got a very fickle hip-hop audience to initially notice Erk. His streetwear heavy fashion sense, trademark black eyeglasses and hood nerd persona all worked in his favor. Being from a "bad place" yet knowing that there are non-hood things out there is what has shaped Erk's approach to life and music. "I went to college for a couple years, I've worked 9 to 5 jobs and I've sold weed and none of those things quite worked out so I'm kinda like a hood nerd." His satirical anti-hyphy anthem "I'm So Dumb" and "Plane in the Air" featuring Too $hort defined him as an artist but it was 2009's "Right Here" that put him on the map. The censored version became one of 106 KMEL's (San Francisco) most played songs, charted on Billboard's Top 100 Hip Hop/R&B, and the video is currently in rotation on MTV Jams. In addition to producing and directing videos for other artists, Erk is currently working on his first full length album titled Nerd's Eye View due on November 9th.

MP3: S.A.S. feat. Vado - "The Connect"
This is a track taken from S.A.S's highly anticipated album Galaxy Fly which is released on November 1st. Please post this to your Blog or Website. S.A.S The Connect feat Vado DOWNLOAD http://www.mediafire.com/?j1fwy3oucgacxuq .The SAS (Streets All Salute) duo have gone from battle rapping in Staten Island (NY) in their early years to collaborating on tunes with Young Money's Nikki Minaj, The Diplomats Cam'ron and Jules Santana in the years that followed.
Lately a lot of people have wanted to know my opinion on BET's "Top 10 Rappers of the 21st Century," with the rappers who qualified having released work since 1999. Now considering we're only one-tenth of the way through the century it is undoubtedly early to call them the greatest rappers of the ENTIRE century, so for the sake of their list let's just call this the "Top 10 Rappers of the Last 10 Years." Here's the list that BET's expert panel came up with.1) Eminem2) Lil Wayne3) Kanye West4) 50 Cent5) T.I.6) Ludacris7) Drake8) Young Jeezy9) Jadakiss10) Rick RossI'll start from the top - I don't have a huge problem with #1. He's commercial, no question. He's a marketing phenomenon, no doubt. The problem is that with all the hatred he gets for both of those things, he can still rap his ass off. With the "Recovery" album in particular really impressed me because he had a point to prove after "Relapse" and I think he showed that he's still one of the best not just with punchlines but storytelling and lyrical dexterity.Now I probably would have had Lil Wayne in there somewhere, but definitely not #2, so we'll come back to that. The Kanye West question is a hard one to settle because a lot of "experts" think he has a ghostwriter penning his raps. Should that automatically disqualify him from the top ten? Even if you have a ghostwriter (A.) they have to be good and (B.) you have to be good at delivering what they wrote. For both reasons I'm not going to hate on Kanye being #3 because he's one of the most memorable and quotable rappers going today and certainly one of the most fascinating people in hip-hop in general both as an artist and a producer. On my own list he's #2.For Nas to not be anywhere in the BET top ten is simply RIDICULOUS. He's automatically #3 on my list and fits every criteria of the "Top Ten of the Last Ten" you can come up with. Consistently dropping great albums - check. Large and loyal fanbase - check. Always in the hip-hop media - check. Mainstream awareness - check. Notoriety and controversy - check. Highly respected lyricist - CHECK CHECK CHECK. You have to question the "expertise" of this panel for him to not be in there at all. If you can listen to "Street's Disciple," "Hip Hop Is Dead," "Untitled" and "Distant Relatives" and not put him in there you're smokin' something.#4 wouldn't have been questioned a few years ago but 50 Cent has slipped significantly in both acumen and popularity of late. HOWEVER, since BET's list is "this century" even though we're only one-tenth of the way into it, he deserves it for his total body of work. Much like Eminem, 50 Cent is one of the most commercially successful rappers of the last 10 years total, and for at least a couple of those years may have been the most popular and/or influential. "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" may seem like ancient history these days but in a decade filled with rap albums, this one alone could carry 50 to a top ten list.HOWEVER on my own top ten I would put T.I. ahead of 50 Cent so my list so far reads (1.) Eminem (2.) Kanye West (3.) Nas (4.) T.I. (5.) 50 Cent. The trajectory of his career from "Trap Muzik" to "Paper Trail" is astounding because he got better almost each time out, which with all due respect can't be said about Curtis Jackson. If it weren't for all of his legal and incarceration problems slowing him down he could actually have been even higher on the list.#6 through #10 seem to be the ones that people are having some issues with in their e-mails. I'm absolutely fine with Ludacris at #6 though and arguably he could even be moved up into the top five based on commercial success and continuing popularity. As much as I like Drake though it seems +WAY+ too soon in his career for him to be on a top ten decade list. He's young, he's growing, and in another 5 years would probably be top ten on any list - just not yet. I'm putting Jay-Z in that #7 spot instead. We all know he never really "retired" and his popularity has never waned. Lyrically he's far superior to several people in the top 5 but "The Blueprint 3" was only a "good" album and by his own standards not quite up to par - but still highly enjoyable. The body of Shawn Carter's in the decade still stands tall as does his career overall.#8 is simply out of the question for me. Jeezy is a very popular and entertaining rapper but at this point in the list commercial sales alone shouldn't qualify you for consideration. If that were the case we'd be putting Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame in the top ten and who would take this list seriously if they're "Top 10" of the century candidates? Jeezy is a better rapper than either one but he's no Jay-Z let alone Lil Wayne.On my list we're going to split the difference between commercial success and rap prowess and put Black Thought in there at #8. I don't think he has penned one whack verse on any Roots album the last ten years. His distinctive style, powerful delivery, lyrics that mean something and The Legendary Roots Crew that help him get the point across mean even a Roots album that only goes gold is more important in the last decade than a Jeezy album that goes platinum or double platinum.I'm tempted to keep Rick Ross at the #10 spot since he has shown as much or more artistic growth album to album in the last decade as anybody on this list. Wayne checks in above him though as an artist in general and as a huge commercial crossover success, even more surprising for him given how far he's come since his early career. He has slipped lately with his experimental albums like "Rebirth" and "I Am Not a Human Being" but his total body of work in the last decade still qualifies. For sheer lyricism I have a #10 who fair or not to Rick Ross knocks him out of box and could easily knock ANYBODY on this list in sheer rapping acumen - but he's a tough sell commercially. So to round out my top ten:1) Eminem2) Kanye West3) Nas4) T.I.5) 50 Cent6) Ludacris7) Jay-Z8) Black Thought9) Lil Wayne10) Talib Kweli
That's a comprehensive list taking into account artistic ability, commercial credibility, mainstream popularity, and critical acclaim for their music. There are certainly better rappers that are not on this list (Gift of Gab) and more intriguing rappers (Sage Francis) that are not on this list, but if you're going for what BET was going for with their panel the "Decade List" is ultimately not the greatest emcees - it's the ones who will be most remembered ten years from now for what they did in the last ten years prior.
PS: I received a note from a reader named Paul who mentioned that BET's list was predicated on rappers who DEBUTED since 1999, which is why Nas and Jay-Z among others were precluded. I appreciate the clarification but since they decided to call their list the "Top 10 Rappers of the 21st Century" I'll still stand by mine, because I don't think you need to have debuted this century to be the best in it (and since their list includes 1999 they're already acknowledging that fact).

Slaine (from La Coka Nostra) "The Devil Never Dies" mixtape http://subnoize.fm/devilneverdies "I spent thousands of hours creating 'A World With No Skies'. I want it to be a vivid picture of my dreams, nightmares, and psyche. I refuse to compromise my vision for a project that means so much to me," commented Slaine. "I have recently had some success in a way that unexpectedly put a mainstream light on me. I could give a fuck less about that kind of attention. What I do give a fuck about is maintaining the integrity of my album, so I have had to deal with sample clearance issues which caused it to be delayed until early 2011. In the meantime while I rework the album, I am giving you my new mixtape 'The Devil Never Dies' for free. At the end of the day fans dont give a shit about red tape nor should they, and I wanted to put out new music now.

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Many of you must have heard about the recent move to boycott Facebook by a portion of the site's Muslim users. Proponents of that strategy felt it was the best way to make themselves heard and voice their disapproval of Facebook's decision to let defamatory pages aimed at the Prophet (pbuh) stay on the site, despite the insulting content that was being shared on those pages. However, others felt making a big fuss and simply shutting ourselves off from Facebook were not the best strategies to adopt – rather, there was a need to address the core issue: why do many in the world seem to perceive the Prophet (pbuh) in a negative light? Don't they know him? Exactly. They don't know him. And we Muslims, the great majority of us, have not exactly been telling the world either. Rather, many of our cultural traditions and even daily habits contradict the Sunnah, thus giving the world a very distorted version of our beautiful Deen and the Messenger who was Allah's(swt) Mercy upon mankind. A group of British Muslims realized that there was an urgent need to go out and make it known to common people on the street, who the Prophet (pbuh) really was. The result? The launch of the "Inspired by Muhammad" website and campaign on 7th June. Explaining what inspired them to launch their campaign, the Exlopring Islam Foundation (EIF) says, "The website is designed to meet the need the YouGov poll highlighted for accessible information: 60% percent of people say they don't know very much about Islam; 31% say information about Islam is not very accessible; 33% would like to know more about Islam and just 3% say they get their information from Muslim organisations." In many ways, this latest campaign is an extension of the Exploring Islam Foundation's (EIF) own vision for British Muslims and the Ummah. It's simple. A neat and eye-catching website design with information displayed in a prominent and lucid manner. Misconceptions that are common among the British population are addressed by means of asking direct questions or making catchy statements like, "I believe in protecting the environment. So did Muhammad." The website also features several British Muslims who're active, educated and pursuing mainstream careers – in other words, they're active members of the British public, underlining the idea that being British and Muslim are not mutually exclusive at all. Kristiane Backer, a revert and TV presenter who launched the campaign is also one of the personalities featured on the website, reflects on the negative image Britons have of Islam: "This negative image is the reason for the need of a campaign, the reason for coming out with some positive news, reflecting the truth and showing what Islam is about. Values of compassion, peace, mercy, women's rights, social justice – these are all part of Islam." The campaign is not limited to just the website. The actual goal is to reach out to the common man or woman on the street in a more direct way, through advertisements and banners in prominent places such as bus stops, tube stations and even on the trademark London cabs! American Muslims will of course be able to relate to it through their own Why Islam campaign that has placed intriguing billboards on the NY subway inviting Non Muslims to learn more about Islam. What I personally love about this initiative is the proactive step they've taken where it is needed the most. It is one thing to raise a hue and cry about the latest defamatory gimmick a couple of non-Muslims may drum up (thus giving them loads of free publicity too!) but it demands a whole other life vision and outlook to actually take positive steps. This is not about letting your anger flare for a while and then go turn the other way when Da'wah is really needed… rather, it's about working hard, actually doing something to make a difference and spread the message of Islam. The Prophet (pbuh) was intelligent and employed wise strategies that had long term goals in mind to bring benefit to the community. Perhaps it is time we start doing the same. Alhumdolillah, the people behind the "Inspired by Muhammad" campaign, and many other such projects across the globe, are leading the way – may Allah (swt) support their efforts and reward them! Ameen. (Author's note and acknowledgment: Readers of Muslim Matters are invited and encouraged to share local initiatives, such as the Inspired by Muhammad campaign highlighted above, with us. This story was brought to MM's notice by our Staff writer, iMuslim and MM reader, Muhammad Ali Yaqoob. JazaakAllahu khayr to both!)

There's no excuse for bigotry due to ignorance when we have google and so many web resources. 0 0 Reply nomadone June 15, 2010 Wow it's a really nice site. I just doubt the prophet Muhammad would be very impressed with the fact that they have chosen to use a picture of a women without hijab on it in order to teach people about him(saw). I mean can't we use Islam to teach people about Isdlam or do we always need to compromise just for the sake of Da'wah? I don't know if there is any incident where the Prophet(saw) allowed anyone to disobey him in order to teach others about Islam. It's a really great initiative though and we pray it benefits many. 0 0 Reply Ameera June 15, 2010 I think you'll have to look at the issue from a broader perspective. The lady without Hijab, Kristiane Backer, is actually one of the people who launched the project – a major good deed! I'm not going to compared that good deed with wearing Hijab though because they are two separate issues. Also, realize that a lot of women go through phases before they take the Hijab so it may be better to overlook that, make dua for her, and think in the longer term benefits the project could bring. The Seerah has examples where the Prophet(s) dealt with an extra gentle hand, especially with recent reverts. :) 0 0 Reply nomadone June 15, 2010 I agree with you sister, May Allah reward her for her work. Masha-Allah it is a very good site. My point is not to target the specific person who's picture it is, but the point is that when we represent Islam, especially in this way claiming to be a representative of who Muhammad(saw) is, then we should at least be covering the basics of what Muhammad(saw) taught us to do. We cannot display women uncovered merely because one of the organisers of the project happens to not be ready to wear hijab yet. If we are calling others to Muhammad's way, and not practicing it ourselves, what does that say about Islam or about how much we love Muhammad? May Allah help us with the things where we are weak and forgive us and strengthen our Iman. I don't think it is an unreasonable comment or observation. Just think what Would Muhammad(saw) say if this were shown to him? He would say what he said to the Muslim women who did not cover themselves correctly would he not? I've also found that when Islam is portrayed by those living in non-muslim countries there seems to be a need to show muslims who are not so practicing? We should not encourage lack of practice with what we promote, but should instead encourage practice and an understanding of proper practice. On an individual level that is a different story, but this campaign is representing Allah' Messenger, SubHaanAllah. What a huge undertaking. May it meet with success. 0 0 Ameera June 15, 2010 I understand the points you are making and certainly cannot disagree that the right way would have been to show Hijabi ladies only, if they were going to put up pictures of women. And yes, it also raises the question of whether some of us tend to be very, let's say, compromising sometimes, during our Da'wah. I mean 'compromising' which should not be confused with the flexibility that our Deen has allowed us. Even so, that would be my personal opinion and since I haven't lived in a Muslim-minority country for an extended period, I might not be the best one to comment on this aspect. Ameen to your duas! And as to what the beloved Prophet(pbuh) would say if he were to see it, Allahu 'Aalam! Allah Knows best. JazaakAllah for your comment! :) Perhaps someone will start another similar campaign based on what is discussed here and ensure the principles of Hijab are also applied, Inshaa'Allah. :) 0 0 F June 15, 2010 The reality is that many women in Islam don't cover. To say they should be excluded based on that would lead to alienation of a large group. While it's natural to think if we don't include them, they would be more likely to wear the hijab, on the ground it doesn't work as such. While I'm not advocating using women without hijab everywhere, there needs to be an understanding that we can't exclude such a big portion of our population that can be of immense benefit in many ways. Look at this way, the Prophet(pbuh) knew who the hypocrites were in Madinah and yet not only did he let them participate in the wars, he even listened to them when making decisions. And these people were clear hypocrites! Yet, the Prophet(pbuh) did not exclude them. Now imagine good intentioned sisters who are not at the level of hijab yet. Judgment calls needs to be made in each situation. 0 0 Middle Ground June 15, 2010 Salam Mashallah in the USA, WhyIslam has been doing this for years, using different forms of advertising e.g billboards, subway train ads, radio ads.

Do you feel that Muslims should deactivate their accounts on FB? After all, by not removing the blasphemous content, have they not encouraged the whole Draw Mohammed Day campaign? Is insult of a Prophet not good enough reason to boycott a website? 0 0 Reply Ameera Khan June 15, 2010 JazaakAllah brother. My stance on the Facebook issue is the same as that of my friend and Muslim Matters' author Sadaf Farooqi, at her personal blog here (also linked to in my blog post above): http://bit.ly/aHMkdO She's speaking from a personal angle but takes a very balanced and well-rounded approach to the issue, taking along side-issues as well. You will find mention of the 20th May boycott. 0 0 Reply Abd- Allah June 15, 2010 While I do support the purpose behind this initiative and I am not questioning the intentions of the people behind this project, yet I don't support it because it seems like it is run by people who are ignorant of Islam and its teachings, people who themselves need to learn more about the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and about Islam before they try to teach others. "All of humanity is the family of God', Muhammad declared, 'and the most beloved to God is the one who is of most benefit to His children.†http://inspiredbymuhammad.com/coexistence.php So now God has children?? Not to mention that they are attributing to the Prophet peace be upon him tings which he did not say. 0 0 Reply Abd- Allah June 15, 2010 Some more fabricated ahadith on their website: "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the graveâ€.

Why you choose to criticize their efforts on this blog I don't understand. I'm sure they have a way to contact them, so why don't you? Walaikum Assalam wa rahmatullah Well I did already send them a message and contacted them. However, this project is public, so likewise the criticism of what is wrong in it also needs to be public. This isn't a personal sin by one individual whereby you can advise him in private without much impact on the rest of people. These public mistakes which they have on their website, especially the fabricated ahadith, do need some one to publicly point them out to everyone else. Every situation differs depending on the factors surrounding it, and in some situations it might be better to advise people in private, but in this case I don't see anything wrong with publicly pointing out what is wrong on this website. 0 0 Reply Abd- Allah June 15, 2010 The reality is that many women in Islam don't cover.

While it's natural to think if we don't include them, they would be more likely to wear the hijab, on the ground it doesn't work as such. sister/brother F, I think there is a difference between not including their picture on the website and between alienating or excluding them from the community as a whole. You can not have their picture on the website while still including them in the community and even in the project itself but without posting their pictures. I mean just because there are no pictures of any elderly people, can we assume that the elderly are being excluded from the community? How about pictures of young kids? 0 0 Reply Amad June 16, 2010 Abd-Allah, you have made your point. If you have anything to add, please send advice to them directly. I think most people will agree that they are bringing more benefit to Islam than they are bringing harm. They are not giving fatwas to Muslims, rather they are telling non-Muslims what Muslims are not. And whether we like it or not, many, many Muslim women don't cover, and many, many Muslim men dont have beards, but they are still Muslim and still are perceived negatively. The goal of the campaign is to erase this negativity, and by your adding more negativity, you are only giving fodder to those who'll see this as "taqiyah" (or takeeaaah as Islamophobes like Geller likes to call it). To be honest, I am really, really sick of all the criticism that Islamic projects get. Unless its clearly a setup to deceive Muslims (like Quilliam), we should praise what is praiseworthy and send criticism in private. Really, in this day and age, we need all the allies we can get to counter the message of islamophobia. And that means you'll not get everyone who thinks your way. P.S. As for "it's public, so we publicly criticize", what you have to ask yourself is that is this criticism going to benefit anyone or change anyone or is it just going to harden attitudes and prevent people from visiting conservatively aligned sites? The answer in the latter. So, in this case that criticism is not the good naseeha and you should look for a different approach. And I would say this also about the criticism of the Chicago effort. 0 0 Reply nomadone June 18, 2010 I'm really tired of this argument of committing sin because some benefit exists and then saying we should overlook the sin. This is not what the Prophet(saw) taught us and not the method of Da'wah he encouraged. Can someone please give us the proof for going against the commands of Allah and His messenger because some minor benefit exists. Are we now allowed to sin for the sake of Da'wah? It seems to be an argument Muslims living in minority communities are using more and more nowadays to get get out of their responsibilities of following Islam completely as Allah teaches that we should enter into Islam "Kaafah" completely. Lets stop using this the benefit outways the good and start doing Da'wah properly the way the Prophet and His companions did without compromise. 0 0 Ameera Khan June 15, 2010 The point behind highlighting this campaign was the proactive step taken by some members of the Muslim community in England, in response to latest polls showing the Non-Muslim British population did not view Islam in a positive light. Yes, there will be "technical shortcomings" as with many Da'wah campaigns but that is a separate issue and can be addressed by contacting the people who launched the campaign. I am not belittling the shortcomings of the campaign but also, credit needs to be given for the good they have done and certainly, in a field of Da'wah (through such advertisements, on this scale) where Muslims in England have not been active yet, it goes to the campaign's credit that they're "pioneers", in a way. That said, it would be a good idea to contact the people at the website and communicate to them areas they can improve on, Inshaa'Allah while also appreciating the positive step they took. 0 0 Reply Siraaj June 16, 2010 I can see Abd-Allah's concern – is this a seemingly harmless action that turns into the proverbial Barseesa slippery slope, or does the good outweigh the harm? I think each person/group/org with knowledge needs to decide for themselves where they fall on these issues – of course, it would be good to get some guidelines on what types of media are acceptable for use, what types aren't, and how to deal with organizations that violate those. I think the most important point to keep in mind is that while mistakes are occurring on both ends, the end intention is to please Allah, both from the critics, the violators, and the supporters on either end. Siraaj 0 0 Reply anonymous June 16, 2010 May Allah guide and bless all these various dawah campaigns. Many a time we criticize (rightfully so) these initiatives and point out mistakes made by the duaat. But it is also a realization that dawah is actually being done. People only get better at giving dawah by actually GIVING dawah. If you don't get stumped answering a question or two, its because no one bothers asking you. People are blameworthy when they do not strive to improve and perfect their call to Tawheed. Alhamdulilah, may Allah accept the sincere efforts in His path and allow the people engaged in these activities to be blessed with knowledge, wisdom, patience and Jannah. Ameen 0 0 Reply Ameera June 16, 2010 People only get better at giving dawah by actually GIVING dawah. SubhaanAllah, so true and what a reminder! :| 0 0 Reply Ibn Al-rawandi June 16, 2010 For every step forward Muslims take in the public relations front, there are eager Muslims hellbent on taking two steps back whether making death threats against cartoonists or attempting to blow up airplanes or criticizing those fighting the public relations battle for not wearing Hijab. It is interesting gripe considering we live in a time when some public figures across the world are planning on denying Muslims women the right to wear Hijab/Niqab on the grounds it is foisted on them. What a strange twist of irony for Muslims to end being the ones who make N. Sarkozy's case for banning the Niqab. That is essentially what some here are doing by criticizing those behind this campaign because you're saying only Hijab clad women are legit Muslims. What kind of message do you think that sends to non-Muslims? That Muslims are pluralistic and tolerant respecting other Muslims' choice of attire? Don't get me wrong, there are many legit criticism of this campaign. I'm just perplexed and a bit frustrated that whatever good was done by this campaign is being systematically undone by its main beneficiary. 0 0 Reply Omar June 17, 2010 Great initiative, excellently executed, great site design. Look at the great good, which far outweighs their mistakes, and make a similar effort for Dawah in your community. Email them commending their great efforts, and politely tell them about the fabricated hadith – which when fixed would allow for a more academically authentic message. There are authentic hadith that have the same message (e.g. praising knowledge) as those fabricated hadith that have become common between Muslims. Ibn Al-rawandi, are you a Muslim? Why are you using the name of a historical Zindeeq who rejected all religion? The criticisms here were mostly in the spirit of friendly constructive criticism.

I do however think that if this site calls for comment it should not just be happy about getting "good/positive" comments all the time and criticising those who's comments you don't like or seem"negative" because then you're being hypocritical when you advise people not to criticise but in doing so are criticising their views. 0 0 Reply Jon June 18, 2010 Assalamu alaikum. Jazakum Allahu kharyan for the thought provoking article and for everyone's thoughtful comments. Regarding the reasons behind the Facebook boycott, what comes to mind is that picking on the Prophets in general and the Messenger in particular is nothing new. Weren't prophets sent to all people? And didn't most reject the message? Even among the Arabs, didn't most of the Quarysh reject the message even though they understood Arabic and heard the message clearly? All we are responsible for is getting the message out there inshaallah. It is up to the recipient of that message to accept or reject.

Methinks there is a serious flaw in the premise behind the campaign. The premise is that everyone who holds a negative view of Islam or Mohammed is driven either by ignorance or by some deeply seated and mysterious prejudice. But we know that this can not possibly be true. There are erudite, unprejudiced non-Muslims who object to — on moral or whatever grounds — certain aspects of Islam or Mohammed. You can not change these peoples' views with transparent and painfully contrived campaigns like Inspired by Muhammed. Muslims will simply have to accept criticisms from such people and take on the chin. Omar, ya akhi, I sport the Ibn Al-rawandi moniker to honor one of the greatest freethinkers the Muslim world has ever produced. I'm freethinker myself although I was born into Muslim family (a Murtad). 0 0 Reply sabirah June 19, 2010 i remember Kristiane Backer from MTV Germany 0 0 Reply Justin June 20, 2010 This is a very good article.

Where can I get a good loaf of ciabatta bread?
I just moved to LA, and I have had the hardest time finding a good loaf. Any suggestions?
I like the Ciabatta bread from Il Fornaio, the have a bread shop in the Manhattan Beach location, not sure about the others. Pop it in the oven for a few minutes and ready to go..
Il Fornaio
1800 Rosecrans Ave., Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
Il Fornaio
1551 Ocean Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90401
Il Fornaio
301 N.Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
re: Foodandwine
Trader Joes carries parbaked ciabatta. I believe it is from Il Fornaio - at least it used to be. While it isn't going to blow you away it is more than adequate, and very reasonably priced.
re: Oh Robin
ralph's on lincoln, near maxella, also carries la brea bakery
Mar Vista Sunday Farmer's market has a French bakery which has pretty decent breads. We like their ciabbata rolls, haven't tried the loaf.
In terms of price to quality, I tend to think best deal I've found so far is the Gelson's house brand ciabatta--a rather large loaf for about $2.50. It's good enough that it's become our "regular" fresh bread (although we do splurge on other breads as well.) If possible, buy one right out of the oven, with a nice crunchy crust and soft tasty interior; get it right at the cheese/bread counter rather than one that's been sitting on the shelf for a while. (And plase note I'm talking about the Gelson's house brand, not Victor Benes or any of the other branded breads at Gelson's.)
re: PayOrPlay
Not all Gelson's have a Cheee/Bread counter. I think the Century City or Marina Del Mar one, and maybe Pasadena.
have you been to Panera? They're located all over the place and have fresh baked bread every day. You can find a location near you: http://www.panerabread.com/
re: yogagals
Panera only seem to make ciabatta rolls, not full-size ciabatte, and while they're OK they're certainly nothing special.
I've never tasted it myself but I know Whole Foods bakes ciabatta breads loafs every morning. I know their sourdough breads taste delicious.
La Brea Bakery! On La Brea near Wilshire. Or, you can find their breads at many supermarkets such as Whole Foods, some Trader Joe's, some Ralphs, some Gelson's, and even Costco.
If there's a Fresh & Easy near you, try their ciabatta. They are good - chewy outside, softer within. Think they are underbaked so you crisp it up at home. TJ's pretty decent too.
re: lilygirl
I have not heard good comments about La Brea bakery so I dont buy it. You can look on internet. Forget Whole foods. Their ciabatta rolls at the bakery counter are good but $1.50 each? Trader Joes ciabatta is,I believe, made by Il Fornaio. Dont want to drive to Manhattan Beach for bread. Stores like. Vons,Ralphs, etc. Are not Artisan bakeries. And forget about making it at home. Hard to do! I'll keep looking. Gelsons in Long Beach does not have its own baking counter.

Why Obamacare Could Be A Plus For Democrats In 2014
Five questions a Democratic contender should be asking

Life with my 16 year-old son
'That's rap music, dad. You're wrong, as usual.'
DC Mayor Vincent Gray a victim of the presumption-of-guilt culture
A trial by media can be as ruinous as a conviction.
Lessons from a legend: Mike McCurry

What is a liberal?
Real liberals aren't the ones saying Obama should never compromise.
Hillary and her critics -- here we go again...
From Jennifer Rubin to Rand Paul, the hits keep on coming, but do they hold water?
Al From, Bill Clinton, and the power of ideas
The future for the Democratic Party is on the DLC's centrist path.
'Women's rights are human rights' -- 20 years later
In praise of the Hillary Clinton's 'No Ceilings' initiative
There's something familiar about the Obamacare flak
…and it's not just broken promises.
Crisis management and Obamacare
'President Obama might be well advised to admit to trying to do too much too soon'
Democrats beware: Don't underestimate Ted Cruz
'History should teach Democrats not to minimize the appeal of a Republican who seems too extreme.'
Government shutdown? Lessons from Bill Clinton's "Third Way"
When 42nd president called Newt Gingrich's bluff and let a shutdown happen, he came out ahead.
Obama's profile in courage
'Barack Obama, the man who has been criticized as "leading from behind," held his ground.'

Heavenly Valley Condo Rental Photos and Description
Condo, 2 Bedrooms + 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 1 to 5)
PLEASE EMAIL ME TO ASK FOR AVAILABILITY before requesting to book, I do not use update on this calendar. Also, we have another family condo that is a couple of blocks away from this, you can also check out a property our family owns too: http://www.vrbo.com/626376. Thank you!
**If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, I respond really fast via iPhone. I have taken out my number to avoid marketing solicitors. Thank you for your understanding!
Hi, thanks for viewing our family condo!
Our condo has two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and it sleeps 6. Condo is a two level unit with all the comforts of home including a new gas (operates by a thermostat) fireplace surrounded by bricks, well-equipped (with tons of spices) kitchen, private gas BBQ grill on the deck. We have fast Wi-Fi, cable TV with DVD/BD, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer. Linens are provided. Finally, we also have a secure ski-locker. We provide our guests with cleaned linens and towels, cleaning service is professionally done of course.
Bedding consists of one queen bed in the master bedroom, one double (full size) and two singles as bunks in the second bedroom. It fits 1 to 5 people.
Great central location, calm and surrounded by pines, but close to everything:
-- 1 min drive to Heavenly Heavenly's California Lodge and entrance
-- 2 mins drive to Lake Tahoe shoreline / 15 to 20 mins walk
-- 3 mins drive to Stateline entertainment & nightlife
For summer, it is about 15 to 20 minutes walk to the Lake via Ski Run or a quick 2 minutes drive to the Lake. It is away from the hustle and bustle of S. Tahoe's main road since it's high up the hill of Ski Run Blvd. You can relax on our cozy decks (front or back), there is also a gas bbq grill for you to use on the deck too. For winter, this unit is a block away from Heavenly's California Lodge, which it's a quick 1/2 minute drive to their free secret parking lot and entrance.
We have put our heart and soul into remodeling and furnishing our condo with a modern feel but maintaining its quintessential cabin flavor. As you can see in our pictures, it has vaulted ceiling upstairs and pine ceiling all over. On top of that, we've installed in a thermostat controlled fireplace, so we all can sit next to the fireplace with a warm mug of goodness and a book. There are also loads of board games if you don't want to watch cable tv. Our kitchen is pretty well equipped. We welcome you to come enjoy everything that Tahoe has to offer!
We find our place comfortable, relaxing, cozy, convenient and charming! We don't live in this condo, so you don't have to worry about living in someone else's space. We go there to ski by winter and enjoy the lake by summer whenever we can. We hope to share our lovely piece of Heavenly with you too, cheers!
**All rates +10% South Lake Tahoe tax + $90 cleaning fee.
Keywords: Condo, Chalet, Flat, Ski, House, Cabin, Ski Cabin, Vacation Home
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Michelle
My name is Michelle. We hope you will enjoy our family condo as much as we do. We go to Tahoe as much as we can because we love to ski by winter and spend time at the lake by summer. So when we aren't there, we would like to open up our favorite spot to others like you to enjoy.
Thank you!
Michelle purchased this condo in 2010
Why Michelle chose Heavenly Valley
We just love Tahoe and have been coming for years. For this condo, our family love the central location with quick access to the Lake, skiing and nightlife, all set amongst pines. I'm sure you will agree! We bought this condo because it's close to the convenient stores (Raley's), restaurants, and casinos. It's a very convenient location for summer and winter activities. For example, there is a Heavenly GO (Blue GO) stop right in front of our condo, so which means we never have to stress about finding parking at Heavenly Resort! That itself is priceless! All we have to do is put on our snowboarding/ski boots, no longer need to find a parking space or renting a locker!
Our family members are from London and San Francisco, so we are very used to walking to places, we specifically looked to buy a condo in Tahoe that is walking distance to everything. If you enjoy having nice stroll, then this is it for you! There are also parking spaces for people who prefer to drive!
We hope you will choose us, thank you so much!
What makes this condo unique
-walking distance to many places

MILLVALE, Pa. (AP) - Two parents face charges after authorities say motorists spied a 10-year-old girl riding in a dog cage in the back of a pickup truck in western Pennsylvania.
The Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports police say it happened around 7 p.m. Monday on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Millvale, just outside Pittsburgh. Authorities say they responded after getting reports from motorists who saw the girl riding in the back of the truck in the cage.
Her mother, 29-year-old Abbey Carlson, and stepfather, 30-year-old Thomas Fishinger, are now facing charges of endangering the welfare of a child. Police say they told them the girl had said she wanted to be with the dog.
Reliable telephone listings for the couple could not immediately be located and it wasn't clear if they had an attorney.

Fox News, however, is still beating CNN by a very wide margin. Compared to July of 2012, CNN's viewership increased+47% in total day and +69% in the 25-54 demo. Those numbers are a little deceiving because in July of 2012, CNN was experiencing abysmal ratings, which means it doesn't take many viewers to give the network an impressive percentage boost. The same is true for individual CNN programs, which also increased viewership. In total day, an average of 520,000 viewers tuned in to CNN. By comparison, Fox News averaged 1.065 million viewers, over twice as many. (MSNBC could only pull in 380,000.) Fox and CNN were much closer in the 25-54 demo. During primetime, MSNBC isn't far behind CNN; 672,000 to 583,000. As Breitbart News has noted previously, a look at primetime ratings over the last few days shows a nip-and-tuck battle between CNN and MSNBC. The best news for CNN is "The Lead with Jake Tapper," the only CNN show to win its time-slot in the 25-54 demo. Tapper even beat Fox News. This isn't surprising. Tapper is one of the few mainstream media journalists universally respected, and "The Lead" quickly established itself as CNN's only bright spot for intelligent, informed, and objective coverage. Things are also looking up for CNN's morning show "New Day." Compared to Soledad O'Brien's "Starting Point," "New Day" is up +45% in total viewers and +30% in the 25-54 demo. In a press release, CNN brags that "New Day" is nipping on the heels of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," which slipped -4% last month. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLEThe voracious consumer demand for digital video recorders continues to increase so fast it's creating a shortfall of the devices at one local cable provider. Charter Communications is putting metro Atlanta customers on waiting lists for DVRs, which enable viewers to record and play back TV programs. Charter has experienced shortages in other markets, spokeswoman Anita Lamont said. "We are completely astonished how quickly the supply has diminished," Lamont said. "We did not expect the early adopters (of this technology) to be lined up, ready and waiting." Other companies, including Scientific-Atlanta, Motorola and Tivo, have been swept up in the DVR craze. Lawrenceville-based Scientific-Atlanta, which makes DVRs for Charter and other cable operators, shipped 556,000 of the devices in its fiscal second quarter - a new record. So far, the company has distributed 4.3 million DVRs. Motorola, which also shipped a little more than a half million DVRs in its previous quarter, has seen its production of the units soar. Motorola shipped less than 100,000 DVRs in 2003. Last year, the company sent 2.2 million DVRs to its customers. Scientific-Atlanta and Motorola are shipping about five DVR-ready set top boxes for every one cable box without DVR, according to financial results from both companies. DVR demand is a relatively recent phenomenon, but the technology has been around for years. Digital video recording was first tested in 1965 when CBS looked at potential to freeze-frame and rewind broadcasts of sporting events. The earliest consumer DVRs were launched in 1999 by Replay TV and Tivo, which markets the devices directly to consumers. As part of a promotional event last year, Tivo held a mock funeral paying tribute to the forlorn VCR, which cannot perform a DVR's tricks, including pausing live TV and skipping commercials. Tivo had 4.4 million subscribers at the end of January - a 45 percent increase over the past year. Katie Ho, Tivo vice president of marketing, said DVR is enjoying remarkable popularity for several reasons, including greater consumer awareness and its simplicity of use. Said Ho: "Above all, consumers love the control and convenience the device gives them."

text: Confirmed: CA Bullet Train Won't Be as 'High-Speed' as Promised by Joel B. Pollak 30 Mar 2014 post a comment Share This: Back in February, Breitbart News broke the story of how California Gov. Jerry Brown's beloved high-speed rail was not going to be as "high-speed" as promised. We noted the comments of the Peer Review Group in a recent report on the project: "[I]it is unlikely that trains would actually be scheduled to run during normal hours of operation within the 30 minute or 2 hours 40 minute limits at the completion of the Phase I Blended system." At the time, I received calls from state authorities who were eager to contest that conclusion. But we never quite got around to getting an official quote on record. And it's just as well, because last week, as the Los Angeles Times reported, the Peer Review Group delivered the message to the state legislature: "that 'real world engineering issues' will cause schedules for regular service to exceed the target of two hours and 40 minutes." That's just one bit of bad news for the project. Another is that the project's costs could far exceed the projected $68 billion, and rise past $200 billion. Moreover, the project continues to lose support among Democrats--first Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom; then former state Sen. Quentin Kopp, who chaired the high-speed rail project; and now (perhaps?) state Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, the chair of the Senate Committee on Transportation and Housing. http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-bullet-train-hearing-20140328,0,3123925.story#ixzz2xRv0xeKy

All true CSI fans, turn your speakers up, put the kettle on and switch off your phone, as you get comfortable in your favourite chair.
Overall CSI Deadly Intent doesn't do anything groundbreaking, however, it is a fun title.
Aside from the five new cases and a few technical improvements, this new CSI game doesn't offer a whole lot of changes but remains an interesting title to check out in between other games. Just don't expect to be blown away by it. If you can keep your expectations low you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The slow-to-respond point-and-click gameplay is more pixel-hunting than actual deductive case-solving. [Dec 2009, p.82]
Technically woeful by-the-numbers tot with a few perversely enjoyable bits. [Jan 2010, p.79]
This is not a game, it is just a bunch of barely interactive episodes of the show and as such, is only suitable for die hard fans and people in need of a quick gamerscore boost. Everyone else should steer well clear as there is precious little fun to be had here and the whole thing soon gets mindlessly repetitive.
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 1
Mixed: 0 out of 1
Negative: 1 out of 1
Dec 21, 2010A totally unsurprising little adventure. Five murder cases, ten hours of entertainment stripped of any challenge whatsoever, and somehow even easier than the previous CSI game. Not exactly bad or disappointing (when picked up cheap from a bargain bin and knowing what to expect) but it's certainly more of a simple interactive experience than a genuine game.… Expand

Partial transcript as follows:
GALLAGHER: A lot of people are talking about Eric Cantor's defeat over on the House side tell me what you think your victory means and what Eric Cantor's defeat means.
GRAHAM: The people who criticized me for immigration, judges, you know the big issues, they saw that as my biggest weakness. The people who voted for me saw it as my greatest asset that I would try to do something that wasn't popular that needed to be done even though they didn't agree with me. I got a benefit from staying true to what I believe about the big controversial issues, and I was well-defined on immigration. How many times have I been on your show talking about how to prevent a third wave?
GALLAGHER: Yep.
GRAHAM: And I think that won the day. And quite frankly, Mike, I've been good on national security in a state that loves the soldier. Obama foreign policy probably did more to get me re-elected than anything.

Although there were some Filipinos who were disappointed with the Nokia Lumia 510, the Lumia 520 made it all up to them with its really impressive features.

Too sweet, for Diabetes
Welcome to my personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page!
I'll be taking part in this year's Walk to raise funds for the millions of people living with and affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). The money I raise will help JDRF fund critical research to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people's Closer to the fender rather then the motor to keep them away from the heat of the engine
JDRF is the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research and the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. This science is complex and costly, and every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
Please support me and donate to my Walk fundraising campaign. Your gift will make a difference for millions of people affected by this devastating, life-threatening disease. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible today?Thank you for your support!

The Fair Housing Act of 1968 was intended to help break down the walls of segregation and poverty by protecting the fundamental right of anyone, regardless of color, to have the opportunity to live where they choose. Over the past 44 years, millions of taxpayer dollars have gone to advance that goal through ensuring affordable housing is part of every neighborhood. But a new report by the Oregonian that examined metropolitan area public housing records found that far from breaking down segregation and poverty, Portland and other local governments have reinforced it.
