Katy Perry Wants to Know Tim Tebow in the Biblical Sense
She's yet to sign the divorce papers, but Katy Perry is clearly over Russell Brand because she's been making a sustained play for Tim Tebow. On stage to perform some songs at a pre-Super Bowl party, she made sure to let the virgin quarterback know that she'd be up for seeing his peacock any day of the week when she dedicated "Peacock" to him personally. But it didn't end there: Perry continued with a double-barrel assault at the NFL Honors ceremony on Saturday by singling him out when she took to the stage to present an award. "Hey Tim, my parents say hi," she said, a coy reference to the fact her minister parents have already said they want the pair to hook up because of Tebow's Christian beliefs. Slutty sources add there's every possibility that the two engaged in a frottage fiesta at the Super Bowl itself because they booked adjoining suites at the event. Stay tuned … [E!]
Alec Baldwin also had trouble keeping himself composed in front of Tebow when he hosted the NFL Honors, but was more concerned with keeping the players calm about the sport's possible Kardashian-related downfall. "It would take 800 years for the Kardashians to date and destroy all of them," he said. [NYDN] In related news, Kim Karcrapian wasn't kidding about that bible study carry-on. A million blurghs. [Daily Mail]
Why is Angelina Jolie smiling in this photo from 2010? Because she knows she has planted the seed of doubt in the union betwixt Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis and that within a couple of short years she can add two more scalps to the pile of relationships she has destroyed. Well, according to this breathless fan fiction. "It's no coincidence that things began to unravel for Johnny and Vanessa when he started working with Angelina on The Tourist last February," ghost whispered an imaginary source. "Vanessa was absolutely convinced that Johnny slept with Angelina, and her jealousy and suspicions ended up destroying them." [Showbiz Spy]
First there was the cock cake and now a pronounced love of the gays – it looks like I'll have to upgrade my opinion of Miley Cyrus from indifferent to kind of awesome. The singer has hit back at Christians and others who take issue with her pro-homosexualist marriage stance. "If you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love," she said. "I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties." [Glamour]
It's official, Zac Efron and Lily Collins are doing it — holding hands that is. Because no matter how old Zac gets I'll still be older and feel all AMBER alert-y if I think of him in a sexual context. Moving on. These two kiddly winks went out on a date in West Hollywood last night and acted all coy for the cameras. It's a power move for Lily, as though she probably likes him for who he is etcetera it certainly can't hurt her transition from daughter of Phil Collins to bonafide star/real-life human girl/tabloid fodder. [Daily Mail]

I'm sorry, I don't get it. If I buy a gel I expect it to hold my hair in place. It's the only reason I'd ever buy gel. It's moisturising though...

This is the best natural styling gel I've found to date. It's really moisturizing and doesn't flake at all. It really helps to lay those edges down when necessary or works great when doing a twist out. I agree with the over reviewer about the jar, a pump would work so much better.

This is a nice light moisturizing styling gel with soft hold. Works great on my BSL color-treated, curly hair. No drying ingredients. Gives my curls a little extra bounce without weighing them down. Smells light, too. Works great for 2nd and 3rd day hair, when I need a little pick-me-up and light frizz-control. Only 2 drawbacks... I have to buy this online and would prefer it in a pump-top bottle instead of a jar.

Aoife O'Donovan is touring behind her debut solo album, "Fossils." | Shawn Brackbill photo
♦ 7 p.m. Aug. 18
♦ Ravinia, 418 Sheridan Road, Highland Park
♦ Tickets, $30 or $80
♦ (847) 266-5100;
Updated: September 17, 2013 7:36AM
Aoife O'Donovan is used to nonstop touring, but even she admits this summer has been a little crazy.
There have been stops with her band at Mountain Stage, Bonnaroo, the Ottawa Jazz Festival and the Grand Ole Opry while also touring solo with Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" radio show. Now add to that list the Goat Rodeo Sessions, a tour that makes a stop at Ravinia, where she is the vocalist in an impressive ensemble that includes Chris Thile (mandolin), Yo-Yo Ma (cello), Stuart Duncan (fiddle) and Edgar Meyer (bass).
"Every day I wake up and the first thing I think is 'Where am I?' " O'Donovan says laughing. "My schedule is my bible this summer."
Goat Rodeo uniquely blends bluegrass with classical; the groups self-titled debut won two Grammys, including best folk album, in February.
Sometimes, O'Donovan says, she can't believe where the music has taken her. "It's been a magical experience jumping into this quartet of masters. I'm always hungry for projects that pull me out of my comfort zone."
O'Donovan's friend Thile contacted her about joining; he knew she would be a great addition to the unique supergroup.
"I wonder if any sailors kept it together long enough to actually appreciate the composition of the siren's song," Thile muses. "Such is the potential danger of Aoife O'Donovan: being lulled into such a state of bliss by her voice that the ideal balance of surprise and satisfaction she strikes as a songwriter goes unmarked 'cause that's how she'll get you."
Now add to all this a little more icing on the cake: O'Donovan recently released her first solo album, "Fossils," produced by Tucker Martine. Until now, O'Donovan was best known as the voice of the alt-bluegrass band Crooked Still and the songwriter behind "Lay My Burden Down," recorded by Alison Krauss on her hit 2011 album "Paper Airplane."
O'Donovan had been thinking about a solo album for some time but was focused on Crooked Still, the band she co-founded as a student at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, and didn't want to tackle both at the same time.
After 10 years and six albums, the band went on hiatus in early 2012 and she began "to put the pieces of the puzzle together" for a solo turn.
What O'Donovan has created is a well-thought out collection of sparkling originals that weave together threads of folk, bluegrass and country rock. She gives part of the credit to Martine (Bill Frisell, Laura Veirs, My Morning Jacket).
"I was always impressed with the way he captures the vocalist and the ideas of the songs while layering all these cool sounds inside of them," O'Donovan, 30, says.
The songs on "Fossils" are a varied lot: "Briar Rose" is based on an Anne Sexton poem about Sleeping Beauty; "Pearl" was inspired by an inherited pearl necklace and family stories (her mother is descended from Rebecca Nurse, of Salem witch fame); and "Lay My Burden Down" is about a person facing the end of life.
Did O'Donovan have any qualms about recording a song already done to perfection by Krauss? O'Donovan admits she did, but Martine convinced her to try it.
"I think it's a very different than Alison's beautiful version," O'Donovan says. "We went in a different direction with more electric instruments, pedal steel and guitars. And I love how it turned out, and I'm so glad it leads off the record."

The internet is a great place for commerce, information, and trade, but unfortunately it is also a dangerous place for children. Leaving your internet open to children to access as they wish is a risky thing to do these days and something that few people would regard as a good idea. It is always good to stay on the safe side and protect your children as much as you possibly can. In the following article, we will explain some of the methods that you can use in order to protect your children from the internet. We've discussed such methods with an Albuquerque daycare center that uses computers in its classes.
Software for Protection
Thankfully, the advent of modern internet technology has come with software that can prevent children from accessing things that they should not have access to. One way to prevent them is to have parental control software, which knows when they are using it (through a specific account for them) and does not allow them to do anything else. There are many options out there, but take a look at choices like AVG Family Safety as one.
In many cases, you never even know what is going to happen on your computer as a result of the erratic nature of the internet. Playing a simple game on a trusted website could deteriorate into a an image or pop-up that is not fit for your children to view. When this type of thing happens, the damage has been done already.
Prevention is the best solution and this can be done through the use of many different internet software programs. In addition, monitor the activity that your young children engage in. Most children do not spend much time on the internet other than games, but there is no telling what they may want to do if you are not watching over them enough.
Learning the Computer
At the same time, it is important that you spend a significant amount of time training your kids how to use the internet even at a young age. While you do not want to give them unfettered access to the internet and the computer as a whole, it is still a good idea to have them get educated about the types of things they need to do in order to have more fun.
Children will increasingly need to know about the internet and computers if they want to have success later on in their lives. It is important to learn as much about them as possible while they are young so that they can learn how to protect themselves on the internet at the same time. Some children just don't know what to avoid clicking on and it is the parent's job to provide them with that information.
Protection and Children
Children are resilient and while they might be partially scarred by traumatic events on the internet, they will recover from them with time. The best thing that you can do as a parent is make sure you give them all the opportunities they need to learn about the problems that can occur on the internet. Then you can have a much better experience with providing for their safety.

This weekend is yet another healthy eating test as everyone tends to bring out their best, normally unhealthy foods for the big game. Here are a few tips and tricks from us at the KewlFit office on how to avoid over doing it this weekend.
"If you are enjoying the game somewhere other than your house, make sure to eat a healthy breakfast and lunch so you don't arrive on an empty stomach" –John
"I bring healthy snacks and fruit with me to avoid the temptation of the chicken wings and pizza" –Bobby
"I always make 2-3 dishes for our Super Bowl party that I know are healthy and low in fat. This way I know exactly what is in it and how many calories per serving it is" –Tim
"Every Super Bowl I wake up early and get a good workout in with a long cardio session. This helps me start the day off with fitness to give me more incentives not to indulge in unhealthy food during the game" –Cindy
"Every year we make it a point to play in the yard before the kickoff and even play a game of touch football during halftime. This way we are not waiting around for the game which usually results in unhealthy food choices" –Lee
"I make it a point to try things in MODERATION but will avoid the sweets. After the game we normally go on a long walk which allows the guys to talk about the game and the women to talk about...whatever it is they talk about" –Josh
"I make it a point to come to the house that we are watching the game at on a full stomach. Nothing looks good when I have already had a full healthy lunch" –Susan
"We always leave the food in the kitchen and don't bring it in the family room by the TV. I even put the 'grownup drinks' outside" –Amanda
"We make it a point to cut off all alcohol AND food after halftime. At this time most people are full enough and will continue eating with the food is in front of them" –Billy
"I always have my 2 litter water jug next to me and will sip it throughout the game. This helps with food cravings as my friends always have the unhealthiest foods" Justin
"My wife and I make it a point to only 'indulge' on foods that were made rather than store bought. This way we still feel we are treating ourselves but on something we can't buy at the supermarket. Always in moderation of course -Dan
"Since the game is on a sunday I don't want to suffer the stomach ache of eating bad on Monday, so I normally avoid anything I wouldn't eat during the week! -Jasmin
These are some tips from people at the office, if you have some of your own please share!

Hi all,
Wondering what color to order for our tub... We are getting ready to order our bathtub (for a family bath shared by 3). It is going to be the Pro-Meridian55 (66" X 34" X 20"). We will likely order creamy-white cupboards in a transitional style (leaning closer to traditional rather than modern). However, we are not sure about our vanity yet (could change to a darker wood). So, what color would you recommend? Would you suggest white or biscuit? Is biscuit any more forgiving of dirt? Do I need to be certain on vanity color first? Thanks for any opinions on either the tub color or the particular tub we are planning to order. Carol |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think if you go with the off white cupboards & if you go with a dark vanity, I'd go with a tub that blended well with either element - the cupboards or the vanity. If I brought in a 3rd color value I would want it to be a version of one of the existing colors. But I'd probably match the cupboards to the tub, so a bisque. BUT, the bisque would have to be the same as the cupboards if it were my BR, or at least the same hue, if not the same tint, tone, or shade, etc. The bisque might be a rosy bisque in which case I would really think hard about it before I mixed with a yellow white (Creamy). If you want a 3rd color maybe it would best be used as an accent color. But rules are meant to be challanged. I am loving the cream and gray combos I see. I consider it the pastel version of Black and Tan. Sample comparing will be a must before buying. I also think looking at amounts of a color will be important. |

Thanks enduring for your helpful comments. You are quite correct that I will have to carefully compare the biscuit color together with the cupboards. My interior designer is thinking white would be safer (although she has not seen the colour samples). The ultra bain website claims their biscuit color does match with Kohler's biscuit color so we should be able to find a matching toilet if we go with biscuit. Has anyone done a BainUltra bath or Kohler toilet using this biscuit color? |
- Posted by mydreamhome (My Page) on Tue, Mar 20, 12 at 22:18
Mom has Kohler white sinks, tub & toilet in a bathroom with a 60" long creamy white vanity & a tanish color granite countertop--the white provides a slight contrast and gives the room a "crisp" look. I don't think I would want to match my tub/toilet/sink to my vanity--I think you need the contrast or everything just kind of blends together and becomes rather 'blah'. White is pretty much always the safest way to go, provides endless options on coordinating color palette & is timeless. Hope this helps! |
Off white cabinets in my boys bathroom and my girls bathroom and white kohler tubs. I like the white. Looks clean and classic. |
I was trying to decide between white and biscuit, I was being told that biscuit would have a warmer touch to my bath, but thought if biscuit is supposed to be such a wonderful color why is there only white showed in all the showrooms - high end and box stores - so I went with white. Also on Houzz every bathroom I loved was white sinks and tub. Classic, crisp and timeless. |
We just completed our bathroom remodel last week and put in a white Bain Ultra tub, white sinks and toilet. Our cabinets are a creamy white and tiles in bath and on floor are a creamy beige. I was concerned that I should go with the creamy color or biscuit tub, but decided to match my toilet, tub and sinks to all white. Very glad I did. Love the creamy colors and white together. I agree with winesnob that it's a crisp, classic look. |
- Posted by OntarioMom (My Page) on Wed, Mar 21, 12 at 19:59
Thanks everyone for letting me know a white tub would look great! I think I have settled on the white tub too. One more decision done. Carol |
Yep, I had the same challenge in my bathroom! Long story short, cream cabs, white bathtub on the inside, and had it painted a soft creamy yellow on the outside. I think the contrast of the white and creamy is nice myself. |
Can't wait to see your BR pics! |
I vote for white. I have bone toilets, bathtubs and sinks in all three of my bathrooms and it really limits design choices. I feel crisp white is easier to match and never goes out of style. |

Symetrix Jupiter 8 Review
Sep 13, 2010 12:00 PM, By John McJunkin
Simple app-style control from an intelligent processor.
I easily connected the Jupiter 8 hardware unit to my computer via Cat-5 Ethernet cable, and used a connection wizard within the computer software to establish a network connection between computer and hardware unit. Once the connection was established, I was able to choose an app to determine the way the hardware is used. Among the broad categories of apps mentioned prior, there are gain-sharing automixers, gating automixers, line and mic processors, numerous sound-reinforcement configurations, a stereo mixer, and a transit SPL app, which is intended for use in public transportation hubs for public address and background music.
As an example, the first of the Jupiter 8 system's gain-sharing automixers offers eight inputs and eight outputs. (The model number of each system indicates the number of available inputs; the Jupiter 4 and Jupiter 12 each have four outputs, while the Jupiter 8 has eight.) The automixer app presents four stages of signal processing in sequence on the input channels: British EQ, an expander, a dynamics section, and a feedback fighter (a sophisticated 16 filter scheme). Each input also provides controls for phantom power, polarity inversion, and a noise and tone generator. The gain-sharing automixer component comes next in the signal flow, followed by an 8x8 matrix mixer. Each output channel features a 15-band graphic EQ, a speaker manager module (with eight bands of parametric EQ, HPF, LPF, and a delay), a compressor, and a limiter. This processing sounds excellent and offers a huge amount of control over signal flow and behavior.
Related Links | ||||||
Another example of a typical app is Sound Reinforcement #6, which offers an HPF, an LPF, a 15-band graphic EQ, a two-band compressor, and a feedback fighter on each of the eight input channels. The input signals are mixed in an 8x8 matrix mixer, then passed along to the eight outputs, which each have a speaker manager module, gain stage, and limiter. Other signal processing is available as well, including three- and eight-band parametric EQ; an AGC; a two-stage series dynamics processor; a FIR filter; two-, three-, and four-way crossovers; a stereo distributor; ducking priority mixers; and an SPL computer (which incorporates ambient sensing microphones to determine levels). There is a huge amount of available DSP here, and as more apps are developed, more of it will be leveraged in creative and powerful ways.
Bottom line here, the Symetrix Jupiter series processors cleverly use the app convention, borrowed from smartphone technology, to facilitate quick and easy configuration of the hardware processor to accomplish a broad range of tasks. It's quite easy to use as a result, and the processing sounds greatno surprise coming from Symetrix. This marks a new way of thinking, and I predict that numerous manufacturers will adopt this model. Frankly, it's very smart on the part of Symetrix, because it makes the Jupiter system incredibly versatile and useful in a lot of distinct applications. I recommend taking a look at it.

After almost 10 years of working in the City, I became tired of all the office politics and fed up of working towards earning share dividends for the chief executives. After firsthand experience of the benefits of massage, I felt it was something I could do myself. In 2004, I retrained as a Holistic Massage practitioner, whilst still in full time work, although it was tough juggling the two!
I am passionate about on-going learning and increasing my knowledge, I have since gained a diploma in Sports and Remedial Massage, which has enabled me to treat a wide range of people from different backgrounds and with different conditions.
I now use my skills to alleviate pain, increase mobility, relieve anxiety and induce relaxation. I also incorporate stretches to help re-align the body. I work with people to increase their awareness of any postural problems or musculo-skeletal weaknesses in their body. I try to not just alleviate the pain and discomfort of existing problems but also to prevent their reccurrence.

Way too many books for the Bush Library. And just one got cracked open – My Pet Goat.
Bummer. I was hoping for an alternative history section.
You wish it were fiction,
You wish it were fiction so bad you created a fictional TV show, West Wing.
You wish it were fiction because when you compare President George Bush to President Obama, Bush is a clear leader in Chief, Bush inspires and Bush unites. I think President Obama is still in campaign mode.United we stand, Divided we fall;
Why do I keep getting the impression that President Obama is trying to divide us? Divide the US. -
"…..Why do I keep getting the impression that President Obama is trying to divide us? Divide the US….."
I have no idea why you might think that, but I'd try going off the strong stuff.
Don't confuse blatant use of guns and bombs to solve complex problems with leadership. Give me a leader any day who impassionately reviews all the options, considers the pros and the cons, and works toward not using the military to solve complex problems. -
Give me a Leader who does not just review and throw empty threats and unites the people instead of throwing money at those he wants to vote for his party. There is always a need to review and discuss the issues, but it must be done between more than just one thought process as Obama appears to do in his administration. When do we as a Nation say enough is enough instead of moving the line every time it gets stepped on? Syria, Iran and North Korea are threats to those around the world, but there does not seem to be much more than rhetoric being tossed about. Again, let's not jump into war, but let's stand up against these leaders as I am sure you would like to see also.
Matt, I'm betting there is also a "Good Christian" section.
Why is it that presidential libraries these days contain so many artifacts and so few actual books? I mean, with the exception of course of GWB library, that reason is obvious. I wonder if he has "My Pet Goat" somewhere at least…
Zawahiri, the leader of Al-Quida, and Hamas would also like Al-Assad removed from power so they can install their own brand of Islamic government. Should the U.S. be partners with al-Qaida and Hamas? Its difficult to find a secular government over there. Of course in the Republican simplistic world, they say "we'll arm the right people at the right time." Yeah, good luck with that. Maybe better let Obama et al work things out. No time for knee jerk simplistic solutions.
"You wish it were fiction,"
When the right people write history, any good done from 2000-2008 will be the result of the Clinton administration, and any harm done from 2008-2016 will be the result of the Bush administration. Reality as known to those who lived in those days will be found in the science fiction section concerned with alternate history. -
I note it says fiction – but not science anywhere :)
"I note it says fiction – but not science anywhere :)"
It was removed because is was too controversial.
Keeping religion out of science proved as difficult
as keeping the science out of religion, so they
just did away with both. -
I guess its not surprising you would think this was Obama's archives. Seems that many on the Right's comprehension skills are about as deficient as their reading skills to the point that everything comes up as a criticism of Obama.
Perspective is a wonderful thing. We come to know ourselves by observing others.
@Ajax 4Hire — "Bush Inspires"??? Seriously?
"Bush Unites"??? Only those who have enough brain cells to coalesce cohesive thought …
Actually we would all be better off if we ignored the trolls (Ms. Ima, HOWGOZIT, Gore Bane, ConserveGov, onguard, Ajax 4Hire, etc.) … all they do is spew the same one-and-two-line bulsit on each page — rants that get under the skin of right-minded people … consider that either (1) none of them care any more than to hit-and-run like most who spray grafitti on any blank space, and don't really care what anybody thinks, or (2) some right-wing/Tea Party sugah dadda pays them to spew this garbage, making them low-life freeloaders, just as they accuse everybody who actually employs actual thought processes before posting on the Internet.
I would be VERY interested to see a DD214 proving more than three months of honorable service from any of these right-wing trolls … but I expect that could never happen …
Just a couple of cents from a 20-year USMC (Ret) who earned a master's degree in something other than a redneck agenda …
The biggest piece of fiction I saw was the liberal cartoon. Liberals wouldn't recognize truth if they had to.

It was a khutbah given by him on the 12th of Muharram 1411AH which was published in Arabic and translated to English. Translated by – Aboo Talhah Daawood ibn Ronald Burbank All praise is for Allaah, in whose Hand is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Sovereignty is His, all praise is for Him, and He is a witness of everything. All His prescribed laws and what He has decreed are from His Wisdom. He does whatever He wills and commands whatever He wishes. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah alone, having no partner, the Guardian, the One Worthy of all Praise. I testify that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, the last of the prophets and their leader and the best of worshippers; may Allaah extol and send complete peace upon his family, his Companions and those who follow them in goodness till the Day of Judgement. To proceed… Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, says, explaining His complete Power, and perfect Wisdom, that what He alone orders is what happens, and that He is the one governing and controlling His servants – granting security, fear, ease, hardship, facility, difficulty, straightened circumstances and prosperity… Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth begs of Him. Every day He has a matter to bring forth (such as giving honour to some, disgrace to some, life to some, death to some etc)!" (Soorah ar-Rahmaan (55): 29) So Allaah, the Most High, controls the affairs of His creation enforcing His rulings sometimes according to His Wisdom and Beneficience, and sometimes according to His Wisdom and Justice, and your Lord never treats anyone unjustly: O Muslims: Indeed we believe in Allaah and His predecree (Qadr), and belief in Allaah's predecree is one of the pillars of eemaan. (Eemaan is belief in the heart, saying of the tongue and action of the limbs.) We believe that whatever good or state of ease and security comes upon us then it is from Allaah's blessings upon us and it is an obligation upon us that we give praise and tahnks to the One who granted and provided that for us. This is done by returning to obedience to Him, avoiding whatever He forbade and doing whatever He ordered. If we carry out our duty of obedience to Allaah then we will be giving thanks for His blessings and would then deserve the increase in these blessings which Allaah has promised us from His bounty. Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: (Soorah an-Nahl (16):53) and He, the Most High says: O Muslims: Alhamdu'Lillaah (All Praise and thanks are for Allaah), we live in this land in a state of security and ease, but this state of security and ease cannot continue except through obedience to Allaah. As long as we order good and forbid evil, as long as we cooperate in ordering good and forbidding evil, since those who order good and forbid evil are at the forefront of the Ummah (Nation, the Muslims as a group), and they repel the causes of punishment and chastisement, so we should assist them and be with them. If they err we should inform them of their mistake and warn them about it and lead them to the guidance and not let their mistake become a reason to remove and distance them from this responsibility – that is not the correct way… Whatever harm and hardship has befallen the people in their wealth or security, individuals or societies is due to their sins and their having neglected the commands of Allaah and his prescribed laws, and their seeking judgement amongst the people by other than the prescribed laws of Allaah – who created all of creation and was more merciful to them than their mothers and fathers, and He is the One who knows better than themselves what is most beneficial for them. O Muslims: I say (meaning the Shaykh): whatever harm and hardship has befallen the people in their wealth or security, individuals or societies is due to their sins and their having neglected the commands of Allaah and his prescribed laws, and their seeking judgement amongst the people by other than the prescribed laws of Allaah – who created all of creation and was more merciful to them than their mothers and fathers, and He is the One who knows better than themselves what is most beneficial for them. Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, says, explaining that in His Book, so that we may realise and take warning. He, the Majestic and Most High, says: "And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much." (Soorah ash-Shoora (42):30) "Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allaah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself." (Soorah an-Nisaa' (4):79) Whatever good comes upon us – blessings or security – it is from Allaah, it is He who provided that, its beginning and end, from His beneficience. It is He who granted us from His bounty that we should carry out what which would lead to it, and it is He who granted us His blessings and completed that for us… As for whatever evil has befallen us, whether famine or fear, or whatever else causes harm, then it is due to our ownselves, we are the ones who have wronged ourselves and led ourselves to destruction. O people: Many people today attribute the misfortunes which befall them, whether relating to wealth and economics, or security and political affairs to purely materialistic causes, to political causes, economic reasons, or problems due to borders. There is no doubt that this is due to their limited understanding and weakness of their eemaan and their failure to reflect upon the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger . O Muslims, Believers in Allaah and His Messenger Behind these reasons are causes prescribed as such by Allaah, reasons and causes for these misfortunes which are stronger, greater and produce a more severe effect than the material reasons. However the material reasons may be a means of bringing about what is due to the causes prescribed by Allaah which necessitates the misfortune and punishment. Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic says: "Evil (sins and disobedience of Allaah etc.) has appeared on the land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds etc.), that Allaah may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allaah)." Soorah ar-Room (30):41 Give thanks for the blessings of Allaah upon you which you are about to hear of. O nation of Muhammd you are the best and most noble of the nations of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. Allaah does not punish this nation for its disobedience and sins in the way that He punished the previous nations. He will not cause its destruction with a single overwhelming punishment as happened to 'Aad (See Soorah al-Haaqqah (69):6-7), when they were destroyed by the violent wind which He unleashed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession so that they were left lying like the hollow trunks of palm trees – do you see any remnants of them? He will not destroy it with the like of the punishment of Thamood (See Soorah al-Haaqqah (69):5) who were seized by the terrible shout and the earthquake so that they lay prostrate corpses in their homes. And He will not destroy it with the like of the punishment of the people of Loot (See Soorah al-A'raaf (7):80-84), against whom Allaah sent a violent wind and stones from the sky and turned their homes upside down. O Muslims: Allaah, from His Wisdom and His Mercy, punishes this nation for its sins and disobedience by setting some part of it upon the others so that they destroy one another and take each other prisoner. Allaah, the Might and Majestic, says: "Say: 'He was power to send torment on you from above you or from under your feet, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, and make you to taste the violence of one another.' See how variously We explain the Ayaat, (Aayaat, sing. aayaah: proofs; signs; evidences; lessons; 'verses'), so that they may understand. Al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer quotes a number of ahaadeeth – (ahaadeeth, sing. hadeeth: Sayings narrated from the Prophet , regarding his words, actions or attributes – in his Tafseer of the first aayah. From these is that reported by al-Bukhaaree from Jaabir ibn 'Adbullaah (radhiyAllaahu 'anhumaa) who said: "When the (following) aayah was revelaed: The Prophet said: "…or from under your feet…" The Prophet said: 'I seek refuge with Your Face.' 'or to cover you with confusion in party strife, and make you to taste the violence of one another." The Prophet said: 'This is lighter' or '…easier.'" It is reported by Muslim from Sa'd bin Abee Waqqaas (radhiyAllaahu 'anhu) who said: "We went along with Allaah's Messenger until we came to the mosque of Banoo Mu'aawiyah, so Allaah's Messenger entered and prayed two rak'ahs so we prayed along with him. So he called upon his Lord for a long time, then he said: From Khabbaab ibn al-Aratt, (radhiyAllaahu 'anhu), who said: Allaah's Messenger said: Reported by Imaam Ahmad, an-Nasaa'ee and at-Tirmidhee. You believe in these Aayaat and you believe in the narrations which are authentic from Allaah's Messenger so why will you not reflect upon them? Why will you not reflect upon them? Why will you not attribute these misfortunes which occur to deficiency in your own practice of the Deen so that you turn back to your Lord and save yourselves from the causes of overwhelming destruction? So fear Allaah O servant of Allaah and look to your affairs and repent before your Lord and correct your way towards Him. Know O nation that these punishments which have come upon you and these trials that have been inflicted upon you are your own doing and due to your sins. So for each chastisement repent and turn to Allaah and seek the refuge of Allaah, the Most High, from the trials; the material trials relating to the person: killing, injury and being forced from ones home; trails relating to wealth: decrease and loss: and trails relating to the Deen (the way of life prescribed by Allaah) – the doubts and desires which assail the hearts and keep the Ummah away from the Deen of Allaah, and keep it away from the way of our Pious Predecessors (Salaf) and which lead it to destruction. The trials of the heart are the worst and the most severe of all the trials in this world since worldly misfortunes when they occur can only cause loss in this world, which will pass away anyway, whether sooner or later but trials relating to the Deen cause loss of this world and the Hereafter: (Soorah az-Zumar (39):15) O Allaah, we ask you whilst awaiting fulfilment of one of the duties You have made obligatory upon us – that You make us of those who take heed of Your Signs and receive admonition when Your punishment descends. O Allaah, grant that the Islamic Ummah and its leaders truly turn back to You in open and in secret, in their sayings and their actions so that the Ummah is rectified, since rectitude of the rulers is a cause of the rectitude of the Ummah. O Allaah, we ask you that You rectify those in charge of the affairs of the Muslims and that You grant that they are able to take heed from events and that You direct them to that which You love and is pleasing to You – O Lord of the worlds. O Allaah, we ask You that you keep away from them every evil adviser – indeed You have full power over everything. O Allaah, guide them through good advisers to that which is good – those who will advise them and encourage them in good – O Lord of all the worlds. O Allaah, whoever amongst the advisers of those in authority over the Muslims is not a sincere adviser to them, and is not sincere to the people them remove them and replace them with those who are better than them – O Lord of all the worlds. O Possessor of Majesty and Nobility. All praise is for Allaah, Lord of all the worlds, and may He extol and send peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, upon his family, true followers and all his Companions. Aameen. The Second Khutbah O servant of Allaah! Fear Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, and beware of neglecting the prescribed laws of Allaah… beware of neglecting Allaah's signs… beware of failing to reflect upon the Book of Allaah… beware of failing to know the Sunnah of Allaah's Messenger – since in the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger lies your success (if you cling to them if you attest to the truth of what they inform of and followe their commands) in this world and the hereafter. Servants of Allaah… There are some people who doubt and seek to cause doubts that sins are a cause of misfortunes, and that is because of the weakness of their eemaan and their negligence in reflecting upon the Book of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, and I will recite for the benefit of such people the saying of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic: (Soorah al-A'raaf (7):96-99) One of the Pious Predecessors (Salaf) said: "If you see Allaah grant blessings to a certain person, and then you see that person continuing in disobedience to Him, then know that this is from Allaah's plan against him and that he is referred to by Allaah, the most Highs, saying: "We shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not. And I respite them; certainly My plot is strong." (Soorah al-A'raaf (7):182-183) O Muslims, O worshippers of Allaah: By Allaah, sins affect the security of a land; they affect its ease; its prosperity; its economy; and they affect the hearts of its people. Sins cause alienation between the people. Sins cause one Muslim to regard his Muslim brother as if he were upon a separate religion other than Islaam. But if we sought to rectify ourselves, our families, our neighbours and those in our areas, and everyone we are able to rectify, if we mutually encouraged good and forbade evil, if we assisted those who do this with wisdom and wise admonition – then it would produce unity and harmony. Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting all that is good (Islaam), enjoining the ma'roof and forbiddin the munkar. And it is those who are successful. And be not as those who divided and differed among themselves after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they for whom there is an awful torment." Quote:
(Soorah Aali-'Imraan (3):104-105) I call myself and you, O my brothers, to come together upon the Deen of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic; support one another in establishing the Sharee'ah of Allaah; advise each other sincerely with wisdom and wise admonition; debate with those whom we have to debate with in the best way and by satisfying them with textual proofs and intellectual proofs and do not abandon the people of false beliefs upon their falsehood since they have a right upon us that we should explain the truth to them and encourage them to follow it and that we explain what is false to them and warn against it. But as for remaining a disunited nation having no regard for one another and not caring about the affairs of each then whoever does not care about the Muslims is not from them. O Muslims, I say and repeat that it is binding upon us, being Muslims and Believers that we see the occurences and misfortunes from the Islamic perspective as shown by the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger . Since if we look at them from a materialistic perspective then the unbelievers are stronger and greater than us in the materialistic sense and they hold sway over us and enslave us through that. However, if we look from an Islamic perspective by the way of the Book and the Sunnah then we will abandon all that is a cause of these misfortunes, and if we return to Allaah and aid the Deen of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, then Allaah says in His Book, and He is the most truthful in speech and most capable, He, the Mighty and Majestic saus: "Verily, Allaah will help those who help His (cause). Truly, Allaah is All-Strong, All-Mighty. Those (Muslim rulers) who, if We give htem power in the land, (they) order the establishment of prayer and the payment of Zakaat (the obligatory charity), and they enjoin the ma'roof and forbid the munkar. And with Allaah rests the end of (all) matters (of the creatures)." (Soorah al-Hajj (22):40-41) He did not say "those whom if We give them power in the earth establish arenas of sin, idle, frivolity and shamelessness" rather he said: "Those (Muslim rulers) who, if We give htem power in the land, (they) order the establishment of prayer and the payment of Zakaat (the obligatory charity), and they enjoin the ma'roof and forbid the munkar. And with Allaah rests the end of (all) matters (of the creatures)."" Consider carefully, O Muslim brother, how Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: He stressed this promise of help with terms of emphasis: an implicit oath, the letter laam of emphasis, and the noon of emphasis. He further emphasised it by His saying: "Truly, Allaah is All-Strong, All-Mighty." Since by His Power and His Might He helps those whom He wills, and consider how He ended the two Aayahs with His saying: So a person may say due to his faulty thinking: "how can we be aided and granted victory against the unbelieving nations which are stronger and more powerful than us." So Allaah, the Most High, explains that the affairs are under His control only and that He has power over everything. We all know what affect earthquakes have – occurring when Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, has ordered: "Be! and it is." – and such huge and embracing destruction occurs in a single second as cannot be produced by the strongest of these nations. By Allaah, if we truly aided Allaah's Deen as we aught to them we would be granted victory over every enemy upon the earth, but unfortunately many of us are appendages of the enemies of Allaah and the enemies of His Messenger – observing their actions against Allaah and His Messenger then following them in that. Perhaps even going to their lands and tossing our flesh and blood – sons and daughters – into those lands where nothing heard but church bells… where in no adhaan (call to prayer) is heard… no mention of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, is heard… and nothing is seen except sin and idle frivolity… So we ask Allaah, the Most High, that He turns the misguided of this Ummah back to the guidance, and that He makes us all to support one another and aid one another in carrying out good and righteousness until we return to this Ummah its lost glory and honour. Indeed He is one fully able and having this power to do that. O Allaah accept from us (our righteous deeds). Indeed You are the one who hears and knows everything. O Allaah accept from us (our righteous deeds). Indeed You are the one who hears and knows everything. O Allaah, extol Muhammad and his true followers and family as You extolled Ibraaheem and the family of Ibraaheem. Indeed You are worthy of all praise, the most noble. O Allaah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon his true followers and family as You are Worthy of all Praise, the Most Noble. |

How to Link Within a Page Using HTML
Two Methods:HTML HelpLinking Within a Page
Sometimes it is very useful to be able to link from one point on a page to another point on the same page. This article will show you how to do so using what are known as fragment URLs.
Linking Within a Page
1Locate where you want to link to.Ad
2Put a  tag. Don't forget to close the tag with . It can either be directly after or around some text, i.e. You want to link to a certain sentence. Here is the text.. or you can just have it out in the middle of nowhere.
3The part in quotes can be any word of your choosing. Try to keep it short and simple, and preferably without special characters or spaces.
4Locate where you want to link from. If you want the word Top to link to the top of the page, put a Top tag. This will work as long as you have the  tag on the top of the page.
5Note that where ever you put the  tag is going to be at the top of the screen.
6You can use these in links from other pages as well. If you want to link from a different page to the bottom of the current page, you would use the link: http://www.YOURPAGE.com/#WordYourLinkingToAd
We could really use your help!
female accessories?
fighting acne?
- Don't forget to put the '#' sign before the name of the link to.
- You can use this for footnotes. Here is some text 1. You can have the '1' link to the footnote about the sentence.
- If you have given an element an ID (the id attribute of any element, you can use this ID instead of the name of the element. (This is usually required in strict HTML.) For example, it is best to use this type of link within a page when you want the link to bring the audience to a section; you would use code similar to
Header
 for the section heading and link to the header for the link.
- You may confuse your audience if you use these links extensively (just as many a web surfer becomes lost when a web page opens a new window).
- Always close your tags (and quote your hrefs with either single or double quotes) unless you want the page to not display correctly.
- Respect case sensitivity. These links are supposed to be case-sensitive, but in fact they are not in some browsers, so if you use the incorrect capitalization, the page might not work in browsers other than Internet Explorer. To be safe, use only lowercase letters.

or else they will stop going to the games :nervous smile: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9680957/fans-urge-jacksonville-jaguars-sign-tebow-rally
What a crazy story is transpiring up there. Considering that the "Sign Tebow" rally is scheduled to start at 3:16pm and to last for three hours and 16 minutes, I'm assuming some church groups are behind it. Nothing wrong with that. There are some groups in Jacksonville who are vocal about NOT signing Tebow, too. Hopefully they won't stage a counter-protest and confront the Tebowleivers. Things could get ugly. Which is sort of funny, let's be honest. For such a boring, undistinguished organization they sure have some passionate fans.
Ha, that doesn't count. I had to click on it to see that I didn't approve of Tebow going there. I guess that's for the best, though. The sooner the Jaguars move, the sooner they won't interfere with better games that could be on tv. But if Tebow does go there, I will hope they do well for his sake. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
well wes hate to tell you but the jags are not going anywhere. sorry it gets in the way of you enjoying other games(get sunday ticket). shad is dumping money into the jaguars, and putting in the biggest jumbo-tron in the country into everbank field. its against logic to think that after he dumps all this money into the jags and the stadium that he will say "hey, lets go to LA, that makes sense"
That big jumbotron will come in handy for the UF/UGA game. There will actually be fans in the stands to watch it.
Everybody realizes that the Jags had better attendance than the Dolphins or Bucs last year right? Right??? Given how utterly hopeless the Jags are on Offense due to leaving incompetent morons in charge for years and years despite their continued losing and the utter hopelesssness of the franchise as a result, it is going to take at least a few good drafts to dig out from under the rubble. Might as well sign Tebow. Everybody knows Blaine Gabbert is a huge bust and can't do anything....whether the franchise is prepared to admit that yet or not.
The reason I ask that question is the listing I saw had the Bucs averaging 58,563 per game, the Jags averaging 66,350 per game and the Dolphins averaging 67,315 per game. If you look at it on a % of seats filled basis it was the Bucs at 84.8% filled per game, the Dolphins at 92.7% per game, and the Jags at 94.5% per game. Of course, Jacksonville tarps off a good portion of their upper deck so that measurement is hugely skewed. Unless the report I read was wrong, the Fins outdrew both of them when it comes to butts in the seats.
That's what I was thinking, when you tarp off the entire top level, it's much easier to hit a higher %. I don't get the stupid secondary market thing. As a passive NFL fan, I'm not driving from Gainesville to go to a jags game so why handcuff me by trying to get me to watch it on TV, when it's a miserable game I just don't care about? Not only were they not getting my ticket revenue, now they're not getting my TV view because they wouldn't show the Manning Bowl that I might have actually watched. The NFL is obviously doing well, so I guess what the hell do I know?
^^^^ That I hate to say it but Teebs is not an NFL QB. Add to it the religious circus that seems to follow him, and it's no wonder most teams want nothing to do with him. I don't have a problem with religion, I just wish people would keep it to themselves.
...And Steelers and Bears and Chargers and Vikings and several others with much more pedigree. The lack of fan interest in Jacksonville is a myth. I'm a Dolphins fan, but a Jax native with family season ticket holders since day one. By the way, that picture up there ^^^, was late in a blowout. That is not what the crowd looks like at a Jags game.
I'd like to see Tebow get a shot with the Jags. He blew it the first time by not going to them instead of the Jets, based on what I've read. They are a terrible team. They will be terrible with him as well. But at the very least, he gets a chance to prove himself in the NFL, and if it doesn't work out, he had one more year as an NFL starter. Either way, hopefully the Jags get Bridgewater.
The powers at hand will not give in to this, ego alone will dash any possibility. The jags are a crappy team, they have crappy management and coaches and the result is a garbage team. The only hope of getting the stadium full is to give tickets away. The only bright spot for this putrid team is they will have the first pick next year. But they will probably blow it and trade for Sanchez.
Remember Jacksonville has a big stadium. Even with the tarps, they still have a larger capacity than some. Here is a real photo of what a Jags crowd actually looks like...not the misleading one taken in garbage time above:
I love when people use that photo. It's from the last 45 seconds of a preseason game like 5 years ago.
Its silly. People are just lazy. T hey were ahead of some great franchises in attendance, and they are terrible on the field. Imagine if they were good.

The Laurel Public Schools superintendent has been hired for a new assistant superintendent position by Billings School District 2, pending board approval.
Josh Middleton announced late last year that he would resign from the Laurel school district this summer. He was named assistant superintendent of administration and operation support at SD2's board meeting Monday.
"I'm really quite pleased and honored to be considered," Middleton said by phone Monday night.
Joining Middleton will be Gail Surwill, now SD2's executive director of curriculum and instruction. She was named the new assistant superintendent of teaching and leadership support, also a new position.
Brenda Koch, superintendent of Elysian Public Schools, was named the new executive director of school leadership support. She'll work with Kathy Olson, who will have the same title. Olson now is executive director of elementary education for SD2.
Beeman announced last month that he was changing leadership at the district level, reducing the number of directors who report to directly to him from nine to four.
His hope with the change that he can manage his time more effectively and create an environment that fosters better leadership, he said.
Middleton's decision to leave Laurel were spurred by a doctorate of education that he'll receive from Montana State University in May and a desire to look for his next challenge.
"SD2 will provide that," he said.
Laurel announced last week that it had hired Tim Bronk, school superintendent in Darby, to replace Middleton.
The Billings School District 2 board will meet again Thursday to approve the new hires.

Grocery Outlet cross-merchandises bananas with Nilla wafers and California clementines. In early December, Olson was preparing to launch a kiwifruit program by setting up a shipper display of the fruit in front of the bananas.
"That helps sell kiwis," he said.
Sales support
Suppliers offer a number of programs to support retail banana sales.
Dole Fresh Fruit introduced its 366 Ways to Go Bananas campaign Jan. 1, said Bil Goldfield, communications manager for Dole Food Co., Westlake Village, Calif.
The initiative will be supported by a 12-month multimedia marketing effort encompassing a campaign-specific microsite, traditional and digital advertising, sticker program, public relations, social media, and blogger and other third-party partnerships, he said.
Dole also will work with retailers across the country to develop in-store promotions, point-of-sale materials, sampling events and other programs.
Miami-based Banacol Marketing Corp. also will roll out a number of promotions throughout 2012, said Bill Sheridan, executive vice president.
The company likely will have loyalty card programs for consumers and display contests and sales competitions for retailers, he said.
Turbana Corp., Coral Gables, Fla., has many tools to help retailers grow their banana and plantain business, said Bianca Pastor, marketing communications coordinator.
One tool is Hispanic marketing assistance.
"Turbana is a specialist in marketing to the Hispanic community and can be a valuable partner for retailers to help capture the Hispanic market segment," she said.
Another is the firm's ability to offer private label products.
"Offering private-label produce can help a retailer differentiate themselves and is essentially another advertising medium," she said.
Offering Fair Trade-certified bananas is one more way retailers can grow their business, she said.
Merchandising tips
Suppliers also have some useful merchandising suggestions.
Sheridan recommends merchandising bananas prominently in the produce department and implementing a two-color program.
"Making sure you have the right color really helps sell bananas," he said.
"Handle bananas with the care used with fragile eggs and maintain storage temperatures between 56 and 65 (degrees)," he said. "The key to merchandising bananas is to keep a large display full of bananas in a single layer that is prominent throughout the produce department."

Weekend wrap
College Football
DJK sat down with Sean Keeler this weekend and opened up on just about everything. It is a great read.
DJK interview with Sean Keeler
I know the cynics will say he is playing and saying the right things to get to the NFL, and that might be true. But most athletes I have ever heard talk can't get out of their way and when given the chance they will say what they feel and say the absolute wrong thing when given the chance.
So, that is why it is so interesting reading DJK's comments. He could have dug into the U of I and Coach Ferentz, but DJK really didn't say anything negative and actually says the coaching staff does everything they can to help the athletes.
Iowa State released drawings of their new North endzone scoreboard. Thoughts? Underwhelmed? Ugly? Doesn't ISU have a pretty good design school? Size matters, but so does appearance at some point right?
Think Rich Rod at Michigan was a good idea? Me either. Hell, Rich Rod agrees…
I think it's easy to go back now and say, "Gee, made a mistake." And you can say that now because of hindsight. But at the time, some of the things I was looking to do and the opportunity that was there you kind of make the move. The frustrating part for us was that we thought we battled through the tougher times to get it to this point where we had a lot of the team coming back and we thought we were getting ready to take off, but you know hindsight is always easier to look back and say, "it was a mistake." Because we did have a good thing going at West Virginia, and we really enjoyed it. As you look back at it, wasn't the best move. Easy to say now.
You get the feeling that next year might be huge for the Stormers. It seems like a team that doesn't get breaks one year, will get them all the next year. If that is the case, Iowa could be in for a big year next year. Get your tickets today.
The Barnstormers have lost on field goals with no time remaining the last two weeks.
Get to Wells Fargo Wednesday night.
Iowa Energy opened up the Finals with an impressive 123-106 win at Rio Grande Valley. The Energy can win the Championship Wednesday night right here in Des Moines. There better be 10,000 + at Wells Fargo Wednesday night. Get out there.
Speaking of the Energy, Jerry Crawford and the rest of the Energy brain trust is so sure that Head Coach Nick Nurse will be moving to the big time that they have named a coach-in-waiting. The Energy have promoted 35-year-old Nate Bjorkgren to associate head coach and have said he will take over for Nurse as head coach if Nurse gets promoted to the NBA.
Nurse deserves a shot, I mean look at his track record. The guy can flat out coach.
I know it is early and at a lot of stadiums the weather hasn't been great, but who the hell is going to baseball games? Tune into any game on TV and look at the stands. There are empty seats everywhere. I know the MLB is making their money the way every other league is these days – TV, but god lord there is no one in the seats.
As you may have heard, Brandon Marshall was stabbed by his new wife late last week. He underwent emergency surgery to his stomach. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Marshall told police after the incident that he slipped and cut himself on a vase. Riiiight. It is the second time in 2-years that Marshall has "slipped" and cut himself.
On March 22, 2008 Marshall underwent emergency surgery to repair a right forearm that had suffered lacerations to a vein, artery, nerve, tendons and muscles following an accident at his Orland, Fla. home. Marshall intially said he slipped on a McDonald's wrapper and put his arm through a TV set. He later recanted, saying he was engaged in horseplay wrestling with his brother when his arm went through the TV set. [DenverPost.com]
