MI5 Failed at Cropping Intelligence Photo of London Suicide Bombers
MI5 might have missed a golden opportunity to prevent the 7 July 2005 London bombings back in 2004 when they cropped a photograph of two of the terrorists badly before sending it to the FBI. The photograph was of two of the bombers — Shehzad Tanweer and Mohammad Sidique Khan — and was shot by an undercover agent at a motorway service station. For some reason, MI5 decided to desaturate the photo, crop Khan (the ringleader) out, and make Tanweer look hardly human with blurry facial features and a blob-like profile.

ESPN.com news services
Saying he doesn't want to be remembered as a "bust," quarterback JaMarcus Russell, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2009, is attempting a comeback.
Russell, the former No. 1 overall pick of the Raiders in 2007, has been out of football since Oakland released him after the 2009 season.
Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Russell, 27, is being mentored by former NFL receiver and fellow LSU alumnus Michael Clayton. Russell also will work out at the TEST Football Academy, ...

The Chester Pirates recently captured the Connecticut River Valley League Mens' Baseball championship with a convincing 10-1 win over the Ludlow Gold.
Chester-resident and former Green Mountain Union High School stand out Scott Renfro went the distance on the mound for the Pirates, giving up just three hits and one unearned run, while also striking out ten.
Bellows Falls resident Todd Wells led the Pirate offense with three hits, two RBI's and a run scored, while Chuck Herriman added two hits and a run.
North Walpole resident Craig Mellish also came off the bench to rip a two-run double to help seal the deal.
The Pirates finished their season with an impressive, 15-1 record while claiming their seventh CRVBL title.

If you just want to change it from now forward I think you will need a new email adress too which is fairly easy to do at Yahoo or Gmail.

Are there any games that you recommend in particular for getting kids started playing board games?
View Full Interview Answered
In Quran
Which is the longest and shortest surah of Holy Qur'an?
The longest Surah in the holy Quran is Al-Baqarah (The cow) & the shortest Surah is Al-Kawthar.
In Quran
How many chapters does the Qur'an contain?
The answer is that there are 30 chapters in the Quran and there are 114 Surah in the Quran. Also, there is difference between chapter and a Surah. Chapter is the one that …contains the Surahs and surah is the one that contain the verses from the Quran. This is very clear ~~Abubaker Algabri~~ Any questions: firstname.lastname@example.com Yes, so chapter here is reference to a mathematical or "Algebraic" type of sectioning of the book (Quran) ..."smart sections" which allows the reader or reciter to start and finish the book in a marked period of time called a month. The use of chapter follows from how you might think of the word "chop". Therefore 30 even chops to a loaf of bread, if you eat one "chap" a day, you finish the loaf in one month. I liken this relationship to the naming of a magazine called "Reader's Digest". So if your last loaf of bread must last your family one month, how many sections would you need? The loaf all by itself is one, right...so after another 29 "chops" with the knife you would end up with 30 "chaps" or sections. Similarly, if you want your family to "digest" the whole of a book that is to be read (Bread) in one month, you will want to eat (read) one chap per day... And Abubaker also makes a great point in that in each section the reader experiences and reads or "recites" messages which were revealed to one man in a unique manner, in that it self-verifies itself, and this occurs 114 times.. by reference English speakers would "think" of these 114 Surahs as complete in themselves...as they contain 7 or more verses (ayat), each of which are in themselves voluminous in meaning, logic, wisdom, and admonition. Thank you Abubaker! (MORE)
In Islam
In what surahs are Prophet Muhammad mentioned in the Qur'an?
Mentioned 4 times as Muhammad and once as Ahmad: The 4 times as Muhammad are: 1. [Quran, chapter 3, verse 144] ١. وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُول�…� قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَىٰ أَعْقَابِكُمْ وَمَن يَنقَلِبْ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَن يَضُرَّ اللَّـهَ شَيْئًا وَسَيَجْزِي اللَّـهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ آل عمران: ١٤٤ "Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. ..." 2. [Quran, chapter 33, verse 40] . مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن رَّسُولَ اللَّـهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا ﴿الأحزاب: ٤٠ "Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets.

Confusion at the Tower of Babel
According to the Christian tradition, there once existed a unique tower that man built many centuries ago, known as the tower of Babel. This tower was built as an attempt by m…an to reach the heavens where they believed God lived. Christianity isn't the only religion to acknowledge the existence of such a tower, however. Perhaps a better way to understand why the tower was built is through written and oral traditions. God instructed Noah to build an ark for his family to survive the diluvian flood. Noah and his family left the ark after the flood to repopulate the earth and after several generations, it became so. Along the way, however, the rebellious relatives of Noah and his family thought it was a good idea to try to reach the heavens where they believed God to be. The instigator and architect of such a plan was Nimrod, one of Noah's great-grandsons. According to Genesis 10:8-10, "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar." And so began the construction of the tower of Babel.Genesis 11 gives vital information on why the tower was constructed and the ramifications for its erection.The various scriptures of Genesis 11 state: "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." After seeing what man was attempting to do, God decides it's time to intervene and confuses man by giving each participating tribe different languages.The Bible gives a very limited description of the materials used in the construction of the tower, with Genesis 11:3, which says, "And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter." There is, however, a more thorough description in the Book of Jubilees, but because it doesn't qualify as being canonical, it isn't part of the Christian Bible. The Book of Jubilees isn't considered canon because it doesn't meet particular standards, as much of this scripture has been lost or is incomplete, but it does give some very specific measurements. Jubilees 10:20-21 reads: "And they began to build, and in the fourth week they made brick with fire, and the bricks served them for stone, and the clay with which they cemented them together was asphalt which cometh out of the sea, and out of the fountains of water in the land of Shinar. And they built it: forty and three years were they building it; its breadth was 203 bricks, and the height (of a brick) was the third of one; its height amounted to 5433 cubits and 2 palms, and (the extent of one wall was) thirteen stades (and of the other thirty stades)." The height of the tower of Babel is said to have been around 8,000 feet., or about 1.5 miles high. Though not specifically mentioned in the Qur'an, the Muslim Holy book, Pharaoh commissions Haman to build him a tower tall enough to confront the God of Moses. As read from Surahs 28:38: "And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."" Christian and Muslim scriptures share many similarities with the building of a massive tower to reach the heavens being one of them.As with other teachings, there are lessons to be learned from man's folly. Several thousand years ago, man thought the heavens were not physically far above earth. He also thought they could be reached if only he built a structure high enough for him to reach. Man's vain attempt to become as gods was an utter failure, and like times past, he was punished for his arrogance. As a parent tries to correct her child, so too does God.Because of man's innate curiosity, his once uniform tongue became many and communication between the people was confused. The whole point of the confusion at the tower of Babel was to show the people that God does not reside in the physical realm. People then, and now, seem to need confirmation of belief through physical proof rather than spiritual faith. From its inception to the scattering of the people, the tower of Babel has left a lasting impression on millions throughout the ages. According to the Christian tradition, there once existed a unique tower that man built many centuries ago, known as the tower of Babel. This tower was built as an attempt by man to reach the heavens where they believed God lived. (MORE)

Important Islamic Scriptures
Among the most important Islamic scriptures, the Qur'an holds the most significance to all Muslims. This is simply because the Qur'an is the most scared of all texts to the Mu…slims and is considered to be the only uncorrupted account of God's guidance to all mankind. And while the Qur'an holds the most significance in Islam, it is not the only book of tremendous importance. This article aims to highlight some of the key Islamic titles, briefly examine their significance, discuss why they hold the significance they hold, and more.Without question, the most significant text in the religion of Islam is the Qur'an, and among Islamic scriptures, the Qur'an is regarded as the ultimate source of guidance for all humanity. In fact, in the second chapter of the text, it begins by stating that "This is the Book (the Qur'an), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun" (pious and righteous individuals). In chapter 57, verse 9, it is stated that God sent the Qur'an as evidence, lessons, signs, and so on, "that He may bring you out from darkness into light." Additionally, the Qur'an provides stories of times old, previous generations of peoples, the lives they lived, and the outcomes of their lives as they relate to the deeds they performed. There is also mention of the creation, that God is the sole Creator of all that exists and all that has ever existed; the heavens and the earth, animal and plant life, humans, and the jinn; spirit-like creatures made of fire. There is also continuous exposition of the things that are permissible and things that are forbidden, morals, treatment of parents, spouses, and children, mention of Paradise, Hell-Fire, forgiveness, mercy, and more. Finally, among the Qur'an's most notable drawbacks is the fact that the text was revealed in Arabic, and it is the unanimous position among Muslim scholars that unless the Qur'an is read in Arabic, it has not been read. This is a problem since the world's Muslim population exceeds one billion, so it leaves to question how impactful the various translations of the religion's most sacred text actually is, since most Muslims neither speak nor read Arabic.Following the Qur'an, the most important of all Islamic books are the texts of ahadith; commonly known among Muslims as the Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad or simply, the Sunnah. Ahadith, plural for hadith, are the sayings, deeds, and various reported actions of the prophet Muhammad, Islam's chief prophet and the last of all the prophets. There are a number of hadith collections, but the most accurate and trustworthy version is that of Imam al-Bukhari. His collection, Sahih al-Bukhari, is widely regarded as the most authentic collection of the prophet Muhammad's teachings, rulings, life, deeds, and so forth. The collection is intended to be used by all Muslims as a source of guidance and, more importantly, as the Qur'an's exegetical text since the ahadith are also considered to be the revelations of God. Finally, the volume is considered to be incomplete despite its number of entries that fills some 10 volumes, and like the Qur'an, it is also considered best if read in its original Arabic.Riyahdh us-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous) by Imam An-Nawawi is a comprehensive text of great significance in the Muslim community. This book is Imam An-Nawawi's highly-detailed collection of primarily authentic ahadith that covers just about every area of life for the Muslim. The two volume set is a collection of 2,000 ahadith spread across 372 chapters, which are further divided into a series of sections referred to as "books," each of which pertains to an area of Islamic study and Muslim behavior. Examples of these "books" includes The Book of Good Manners, The Book of I'tikaf, The Book of Hajj, The Book of Etiquette of Traveling, and The Book of Forgiveness. The collection of ahadith is derived from the major scholars of hadith: the Imams al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nisai, and Ibn Majah, and is intended to serve as explicative commentary on both Qur'an and hadith. The only downside to this collection is that a few of the hadith contained therein are not authentic reports, otherwise, the text could easily be deemed flawless.With regard to Islamic scriptures, the Forty Hadith Qudsi (Sacred Hadith) by Imam An-Nawawi, is among the most popular collections of ahadith. Despite its size, 40 hadith, it is a widely studied anthology of the prophet Muhammad's teachings, and is regarded as being among the most essential texts that all Muslims, especially those new to the religion, should study. In short, the text focuses only on specific areas of the religion, contains only authentic reports, and is free from the bloat of many other collections. Hadith on the five pillars of Islam, God and His attributes, forgiveness, the attainment of virtue, "heart softeners," and more, are all topics which are addressed in the book. Lastly, the only downside to this text is that the Quranic translation which is employed, Pickthall, is not considered to be the most accurate interpretation of the Qur'an.Tafsir al-Qur'an al-'Azim by Ibn Kathir (Tafsir Ibn Kathir) is considered far and wide to be the most respected tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur'an to date. Compiled and explained by Imam bin Kathir, Tafsir Ibn Kathir is easily the most popular and frequently cited Quranic exegesis in existence. The four-volume set is widely accepted and highly recommended by the most prominent Muslims scholars for its authenticity, clarity in explanation, and for its depth of coverage. The work spans 3,200 pages across four volumes and addresses each chapter of the Qur'an in as much detail as possible, a verse-by-verse approach, and is thorough in that it also includes some weak hadith. This, however, is done solely to shed light on specifics that need to be clarified; such as the denouncement of weak hadith as well as the refutation of those who attempt to spread them as though they are authentic. Finally, Tafsir Ibn Kathir is a must-have for all Muslims, and especially for new Muslims, Muslim converts and reverts, and those with an insufficient grasp of the Arabic language.There are countless texts that deal specifically with Islamic knowledge, some of which should be avoided and others which are compulsory reading material for all Muslims. Books that cover subjects such as Islamic Creed should be on the bookshelves of anyone with an interest in Islam. Additionally, so should the most important of Islamic scriptures, the Qur'an and the "Six Books"; Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Jami' al-Nasa'i, Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Ibn Majah, and Sunan at-Tirmidhi. Other must-read books includes Al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah, Sharh al-'Aqidah al-Tahhawiyyah, the introductory al-Usul min 'Ilm al-Usul, and books that focus on the life of the prophet Muhammad such as Zad al-Ma'ad. Lastly, with the Arabic language being central to the correct study of Islam, books that deal with Arabic grammar such as Alfiyyah Ibn Malik are also essential for both the native and non-native speaker.For anyone seeking a more thorough understanding of hadith, specifically mustalah (the science of hadith), this book: Nukhbat al-Fikr by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-'Asqallani, should be first on the list books to read. It is a comprehensive exposition of the science of hadith, which if studied thoroughly, will remove the need to study a number of other books on the subject. This is so because this text alone delves deeply into the subject matter, is organized categorically, and compels the reader to think, as opposed to simply reciting words. (MORE)

The History of Islamic Faith
Islam is the fastest growing religious belief system on earth. With no less than 1.6 billion followers, it is the second-largest religion in the world and is the dominant reli…gion throughout the Middle East and in many parts of Africa. It also has a growing community in Europe and the United States, and many of the tenets of the faith remain controversial. Like most religions, it has a long and ancient history and traces its lineage back to the 7th century. Before Islam had been founded as a belief system, the Arabic people worshipped a pantheon of Gods and lived in a nomadic tribal society. Hedjaz, an area that is believed to be west of present-day Saudi Arabia, was the largest commercial center of classical Arabia and was populated by a large tribe known as the Quraysh. Muhammad, the most revered figure in Islam other than God, was born to the large Quraysh tribe, and when he was around 40 years old, in the year 610, he claimed to have been visited by God. It was during this visit that he first started to write these heavenly revelations down in what was to become the revered holy text of the Islamic faith, the Qur'an.The writing of the Qur'an spanned several decades and began in 610 when the angel Gabriel, known as Jibril in the Arabic language, appeared to Muhammad in some caves near Mecca. Muslims claim that the divinity of Muhammad was proven at this point, because he was illiterate and could not read or write at the time of his vision. The angel revealed the first pages of the Qur'an to Muhammad, and he continued to work on the book until his eventual death in the year 632. After his death, the first caliph Abu Bakr as-Siddiq took up the mantle, and it was apparently completed between the years 653 and 656. Essential to the core of Islam is the belief that there is only one God, and his name is Allah. At the time, most people of the tribes of Arabia worshipped many Gods, and Allah was simply one of a great many. The belief that he is the one true God and has no equal is the absolute tenet of the faith, and it is this point that brings it into conflict with Christianity in particular. Muslims believe that only God should be worshipped, with no intercessors or intermediates, such as the many Saints or prophets that are commonly worshipped in other faiths. While Christians believe in a Holy Trinity, and essentially believe that Jesus was God in human form, Muslims believe that the human prophets are not divine, and are simply men who were working under the direction of the Supreme Being. For this reason, Jesus is a revered figure in Islam, and he is celebrated along with Muhammad, Moses, and Abraham, as messengers of the lord above.The two main divisions within the Islamic tradition are that of the Sunni and Shi'a Muslims. The divisions between these two groups are the largest and oldest in the history of Islam and the controversy continues to rage today. Though both groups agree on the fundamentals of Islam and share the belief that Allah is the only thing worthy of worship, they have many different historical experiences, and a significantly ethnic composition. The main cause of conflict is the question of who should have succeeded the Prophet Muhammad as leader of the faith after his death. The largest tribe chose Abu Bakr, a close Companion of Muhammad, but a smaller group which also included many of Muhammad's companions, believed that his son-in-law Ali should have been made the leader after the Muhammad appointed him so. Abu Bakr was eventually made leader of the faith regardless, and this controversy still causes conflict today.Both groups of Muslims accept the basic tenets of the faith, and Muhammad's word, that the Qur'an is the direct result of Allah's commands. They practice the unifying characteristics of Islam, including ritual prayer, fasting, and an essential pilgrimage to Mecca at some point during their lives. To this day, Muslims gather at mosques across the world to worship Allah, and face the most holy sites of ancient Arabia to pray, and study scripture together. Islam has greatly expanded from its relatively humble beginnings, and Muslims are now found almost everywhere on earth, with significant influence in Africa, Asia, all of the Americas, and Europe.The amazing spread of Islam is not surprising considering how aggressively the practice is pushed onto the children of those that practice Islam. The teachings of the faith promise punishment for those that do not believe in the words of the Qur'an, and the act of apostasy, or leaving the faith, is still punishable by death in most Muslim countries, even in many which are apparently allied with the United States, such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Indeed, in Saudi Arabia, a government executioner who uses a sword carries out the killings for apostasy or false prophecy. These are carried out publicly in Deera Square, and area in central Riyadh known locally as "Chop-chop square." This is despite the fact that all laws prohibiting religious conversion run contrary to Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The issue of apostasy remains a thorny one in Islam, and the modern age has done little to quell the anger of Muslims over the issue. A 2010 poll by the Pew Research Center showed that 86 percent of Muslims in Jordan, 76 percent in Pakistan, and 51 percent of Nigerian Muslims agree with death penalty for leaving the faith. (MORE)

Answers to Your Questions About Muslim Food in India
Muslim food is referred to as Halal food. There are many restaurants in India serving Halal, which is a Quranic term meaning "permitted" or "lawful." It means that the food is… permitted for consumption by Muslims based on Islamic law. You may have a number of questions regarding this food, which will help you to understand what it is during your travels to India or even at home, as it is also served at some establishments in the U.S. as well as in many other countries.Halal foods are those that are allowed under Islamic dietary guidelines. Muslim followers cannot consume pork or pork byproducts, animals that were dead prior to slaughtering, animals not slaughtered properly or not slaughtered in the name of Allah, blood or blood products, alcohol, carnivorous animals, birds of prey, and land animals without external ears. You may hear these prohibited foods, or ingredients, referred to as haram, which means "forbidden" in Arabic. When it comes to meat, Halal food must come from animals that were slaughtered in a way that causes them the least amount of pain, which is a process known as Dhabihah. Muslims are taught through the Qu'ran that all animals must be treated with respect and be well cared for. While some believe that Dhabihah is one of the most humane methods of animal slaughter, others disagree, including some animal welfare organizations in the U.K. and the U.S. who have stated that it "causes severe suffering to animals." This method of slaughtering all meat sources, with the exception of fish and other sea-life, is accomplished by using a well-sharpened knife to make a swift, deep incision that cuts the front of the throat, carotid artery, windpipe, and jugular veins. The head of the animal that is slaughtered using Halal methods is aligned with the qiblah. In addition to the direction, permitted animals are slaughtered upon utterance of the Islamic prayer "in the name of God." As is it the responsibility of a Muslim to ensure that any food consumed is clean, hygienic, and not detrimental to his or her health or well-being, this method is said to promote cleanliness in all aspects of the process. Due to Islam's longtime presence in largely Hindu India as well as the nation's general dislike for pork and beef, almost every food or recipe available as Indian cuisine can be found in a Halal version. Approximately 15 percent of the population in India is Muslim, making it the third-largest Muslim population in the world, so many Indian restaurants across the country ensure that some or all menu items are Halal. Some foods have been declared sacred by Muhammad in the Qur'an, and these are often found in Halal Indian food. A dish called tharid, which is a braised meat soup, was said to be one of Muhammad's wives' favorite dishes and can often be found. Dates, honey, milk, and pumpkin are common ingredients in Halal food. Mutton Haleem is a common dish and is typically made of boneless mutton, wheat, Bengal gram, yogurt, ginger, garlic paste, onions, green chili paste, green coriander paste, lemon juice, cardamom seeds, cinnamon powder, chili powder, oil, salt, green chilies, and coriander leaves.Halal Indian food establishments can often be found by identifying the logo of a Halal certification body in India. Halal India is one of the most common. This certification shows that its registered restaurants, markets, and food manufacturing operations are strictly observing the Islamic dietary laws. The processes may range from jugular slaughtering and full blood draining to prayer requirements and the banning of pork, carrion, and animals that have died accidentally. Eggs and milk also must be derived from Halal-raised animals. You can also search online to identify a wide range of Halal restaurants across India. You might be surprised to find that that are many outlets for Halal Indian food in the country, from Hahal kebobs on street corners to Halal chicken nuggets at McDonald's as well as food at upscale dining establishments. Laziz Zaika in New Delhi is a restaurant that is Muslim owned and serves Halal food, specializing in north Indian and Mughal dishes. Khan Cha Cha, also in New Delhi, is Muslim owned and famous among foodies for its delicious kebab and rolls. New Delhi's Al Bake serves many dishes from, continental, Chinese, North Indian to Mughlai, and all is all Halal. The must-try food here is said to be its famed Shawarmas and Sizzling Tandoori Chicken.Most observant Muslims follow Islamic dietary laws very carefully, but this doesn't mean that if you aren't Muslim, then you cannot eat Halal food. Some Christians believe that it is a sin and that refusing Halal is an "act of witness." There are a number of reasons for this opinion, including the slaughtering method and the worship of Allah. Of course, if you are traveling to India, this is a personal decision that you'll have to consider for yourself.There are about 1.6 billion Muslims, or 23 percent of the world's population, making Islam the second-largest religion after Christianity. Many Americans associate Islam with countries in the Middle East or North Africa, but nearly two-thirds of Muslims live in the Asia-Pacific region. More Muslims live in Indian and Pakistan, with 344 million, than the entire Middle East-North Africa region, with 317 million. Muslims make up a majority of the population in 49 countries around the world. (MORE)

Basic Islamic Beliefs
Much of the conflict in the world can be traced back to misunderstanding, and no topic is a greater source of misunderstanding among people than the topic of religion. Islam, …in particular, is very little understood by most Americans. One way to understand Muslims better is to learn about the basic beliefs of Islam. Once you do so, you'll see there is actually much similarity between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. At the heart of Islamic belief are six articles of faith.The first article of faith is the belief in one God whose name is Allah. Muslims believe that Allah is the creator of everything and that no other being is worthy of worship. This strict monotheism means that Muslims dispute the divinity of Jesus and reject the idea of the Holy Trinity because that would mean a separation of God into three parts. God is incomprehensible to the human mind and is not supposed to be visualized or depicted in art. Belief in angels is the second article of faith. Muslims belief in the existence of unseen angelic beings created by God. Angels carry out God's work. Their most important duty is revealing messages from God to the prophets. Angles are also tasked with keeping a record of each person's actions and escorting their soul at the time of their death.The third article of faith is the belief in holy books that were revealed to the prophets. Muslims consider the Torah, the Gospels, and the Quran to all be divine revelation. However, they contend that the Torah and the Gospels have been passed down and recorded in a distorted form. The Quran that was revealed to Muhammad is believed to be God's final revelation.The fourth article of faith is the belief in prophets. Muslims believe in a long line of prophets who were the chosen messengers of God. The prophets of Islam include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muhammad is considered to be the last of the prophets. He was delivered messages from God through the angel Gabriel. The words and actions of Muhammad are recorded in a text called the Sunnah, which serves as an authoritative work which is drawn upon to create Islamic law and social customs.A belief in a judgment day is the fifth article of faith. Yawm al-Qiyamah is the name given to a day of resurrection and judgment, the timing of which has been chosen by God but unknown to man. It is believed that the good and evil actions of each person will be judged on this day, and one will have either heaven or hell as a destination. In Islam it is believed that the physical body of a person is resurrected. It is not only their soul that will go to paradise.The last article of faith is a belief in predestination. Muslims believe that God has planned out the destiny of all things, has complete control over the universe, and knows the fate of every being. Despite this, man still has freewill and is able to choose between doing good and committing sins. Freewill has been given to man by God, leaving people responsible for their actions.Many Christians would be surprised to know that Jesus is considered a prophet of God by Muslims. He is not considered divine, but he's still an important figure in their religion. They may be equally surprised to learn that Islam considers the Gospels to be holy reveled texts, although the exact contents of the Gospels are thought to have been distorted. This shouldn't be such a strange concept, since there are many Christians who also think that some of the message in the Gospels has been corrupted through the process of many translations and edits over the centuries.Muslims believe in a long line of prophets who were the chosen messengers of God. The prophets of Islam include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. (MORE)

Dos and Don'ts: Rules for Underlining Titles
Underlining is one of the most common ways to highlight a title when it's mentioned by name in essays, articles and homework. The rules for underlining titles can be confusing… and contradictory. Read these tips to learn the basics of using underlining in your writing. Different style guides have different rules for underlining titles. The AP Stylebook eschews underlining in favor of using quotation marks. By contrast, MLA guidelines and the Chicago Manual of Style favor italics. You may have different rules for your particular school, job or organization. Check with your relevant style guide for specific questions.Certain categories of works need an underlined title. In general, longer works should have underlined titles. These categories of longer works include books, movies, plays, newspapers, magazines and complete musical works, such as albums, symphonies and musicals.Holy books are a notable exception to the rules for underlining title. The Bible, the Quran and the Torah, among other sacred works, are titles that do not require underlining.In many cases, using italics is acceptable or even preferable to underlining titles. If you are working with a style guide that names italics as a possible alternative, be consistent in your choice. Sometimes it's okay to use italics in place of underlining; it's never okay to switch between underlining and italics in a single document. In some situations, it is impossible to italicize titles, even when needed. For example, the Chicago Manual of Style prefers italicizing titles to underlining titles. However, if you are writing by hand, it is impossible to italicize, and you must use underlining instead. Additionally, if you are working on a website that doesn't allow formatting (such as Twitter), quotation marks may be your only option. You should always start with your style guide's preferred method of handling titles, then move to alternatives. With practice, the rules of underlining titles become easier to understand. You can learn to quickly use the appropriate grammar styling for your work. Underlining titles take the place of using italics, while separate rules govern the use of quotation marks to enclose names of songs, for instance. Observe the rules of italicizing titles by underlining punctuation marks that are part of the title itself, and follow the conventions for underlining newspaper titles. (MORE)

Boot in recovery mode and edit the file:
thanks sisco311 your a life svaer
Thanks for the ACLs suggestion. In the meantime, I had found a simple workaround. In case it helps someone else:
I put the wanted chmod and chown lines into a shell script which is root:root and suid (4755/-rwsr-xr-x).
So users can run it to fix the permissions and ownership where I want, but cannot change the script to mess elsewhere in the system. Of course, the correct fix would be to find out why we get files in there with wrong permissions in the first place...
When a user creates a file the file inherits the users primary group ID. Setting the setgid permission on a directory causes new files and subdirectories created within it to inherit its group ID, rather than the primary group ID of the user who created the file.

Great if you like resorts away from Honolulu
Posted Jan 26, 2015Pros: Clean, modern rooms, friendly and helpful staff.
Cons: Get a Dole Whip machine. How hard would that be? Improve the snack food availability at the resort.
Nice place, friendly staff. Parking is pricey ($35 /day). Pools are smaller than several resorts in Mexico in the Mayan Riviera we visited, and seem more closed in with vegetation and rock formations. Food is typically high for Hawaii. The place needs a Dole whip machine, but the near by Disney resort has one a short walk away (and its crowded so you won't want to stay there). The beach and lagoon are calm clean water; but there's no where to run or walk for even a mile on a sandy beach.

Fantastic Grounds, Nice Beach Area, Awful Rooms
Posted Jan 7, 2015We stayed for 8 days over New Years. I booked on Expedia a bit in advance and bought the "ocean view" room for $500 a night. We checked in and got a 4th floor, tiny room, with views of the pool and palm trees. The lanai was so small that we didn't spend one second on it for the entire time. We did ask to move and got an 8th floor room a few days in, which changed the view dramatically. Still, we were in the back tower and were a few hundred yards from the ocean. We've traveled all over the world and I paid as much to stay in an over water bungalow in Bora Bora and The Maldives. This did not meet my expectations. The grounds, pools, lagoon areas are all very nice though. We didn't spend much time in our rooms. I didn't care too much for Oahu compared to Maui or Kauai either. But that's not the Marriot's fault. I would just expect more out of our room itself. I know it was the holidays, so take that for what it's worth.

Fantastic facilities; low on food options
Posted Jan 4, 2015Beautiful lagoons and supportive, friendly staff. Although you have the option to cook in your room (the on-the-ground's gas grill with BBQ food purchases in the marketplace is a must!), the restaurant options (i.e., fare, style, price) are extremely limited.

The Singing Soul
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
David says
The Singing Soul is a creative and powerful way of improvised music making and of being alive in the world. Join in and raise your voice in joyous a capella grooves of our own making. Experience both non-conventional and conventional uses of the human voice in the co-creation of authentic musical expressions of the moment. WE are the instruments in a musical journey of spontaneous self-expression and collaboration with others. The Singing Soul is spontaneous, in-the-moment singing; the unveiling of our very uniqueness in melody, harmony, and rhythm
our stories, in words, and beyond them. By turns edgy, hilarious, challenging, and deeply moving, each moment is an original composition that is unrehearsed, precious, and irreplaceable. And as fate would have it, its also profoundly fun! There are no wrong notes and theres nothing to memorize, just breathe and sing

A superweapon is defined as a powerful weapon compared to others of its time. In theory, such a weapon could turn around the outcome of a war. For example, a supergun may render enemy fortifications obsolete. However, in practice superweapons can be overwhelmed or disabled and are costly to implement on a large scale. A superweapon is different from a weapon of mass destruction.[further explanation needed] Most superweapons are used to influence civilian morale on both sides of a conflict and are therefore helpful as propaganda machines. For example, throughout 1943 and 1944, The German public was repeatedly assured that Wunderwaffen, or wonder weapons, would rescue an otherwise doomed war effort.
Not many superweapons have been used. Although the V-1 and V-2 rockets were common during 1944 and 1945 in Europe, the Schwerer Gustav was the only other superweapon. Nuclear weapons have only been used twice, at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and nuclear artillery, bombers and submarines have never been used. Among superguns, the Paris Gun only fired on civilian targets, while Big Bertha was, though famous for shelling Paris from over 40 kilometers away, primarily responsible for smashing the Belgian forts near Liège during World War I in 1914 as part of the Schlieffen Plan.

So I've been pretty quiet around here for the past few days. As those of you with Facebook know, it's because Judy went into labor early Sunday morning! At 5:25pm, after 11 hours of slow-moving labor and one very, very fast final hour, Ivy Celeste Conaton was born. She weighed 6 pounds, 12 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. We all got home from the hospital on Tuesday and we're adjusting to life with a baby in the house. That third picture is of Jenn, not Judy. I'll get a Judy and Ivy pic up in a few minutes.
nice, dude! congrats! but you should switch it to celeste ivy conaton, that way her initials with be C.I.C. since she'll almost certainly grow up to be a battlestar fan man i can't believe ya'll are havin' kids around this joint lol
Now remember to teach her to properly speak, and that Klingon and Chinese are perfectly valid languages to swear in in polite conversation.
Let's see, we've got Evelyn and Ivy, the Skinker-Spawn, I think there's been a BuddyBaby or two, Nac had kids when he got here, and Samurai Slider has a couple of giant blue eyes with a kid attached.
Thanks, guys! She'll pretty adorable. And she has red hair! Score! As far as board babies go, these are the ones that I know of...

Always it is your responsibility to maintain your Audi diesel in a proper perfect working condition to control its emission and also to avoid further problems. Nowadays all vehicles undergo strict emission control tests and are safe for the environment. There are harmful substances in the exhaust and a few to mention are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. To prevent these harmful gases getting out in the air, your Audi uses catalytic converter. This device is designed to satisfy the emission control the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere and also to abide the regulations of the government. Your Audi catalytic converter converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen and other hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water. You have to check your Audi to find the type of catalytic converter installed so that you find the right replacement when it is worn out.
There are two types of converters used in your Audi. This differs only in the process and therefore it is called as two-way and the three-way converter. The two-way converter converts carbon monoxide in the exhaust into carbon dioxide. Also, it oxidizes unburnt hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water. The three way converter reduces nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen, oxidizes carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons to hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water. If you are environment friendly person then, it is your responsibility to maintain your Audi diesel in good condition to control its emission. When you sense any problem in the functioning of your Audi catalytic converter, then you have to take a look into the issue at the early stage. If not then you have to face some expensive parts running out of good condition.
