The World's Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society
A new survey report looks at attitudes among Muslims in 39 countries on a wide range of topics, from science to sharia, polygamy to popular culture. The survey finds that overwhelming percentages of Muslims in many countries want Islamic law to be the official law of their land, but there is also widespread support for democracy and religious freedom.

Muslim Americans: No Signs of Growth in Alienation or Support for Extremism
While a majority of Muslim Americans say they have endured suspicion and enhanced scrutiny since the 9/11 attacks nearly 10 years ago, a wide-ranging survey finds no indication of increased alienation and anger or rising support for Islamic extremism. On the contrary, majorities of Muslim Americans express concern about the possible rise of Islamic extremism, both here and abroad.

Widespread Negativity: Muslims Distrust Westerners More than Vice Versa

Public Expresses Mixed Views of Islam, Mormonism
The Muslim and Mormon religions have gained increasing national visibility in recent years. Yet most Americans say they know little or nothing about either religion's practices, and large majorities say that their own religion is very different from Islam and the Mormon religion. At the same time, overall evaluations of Mormons and Muslim Americans are on balance positive.

Justice Dept. Files Antitrust Complaint Against AT&T and T-Mobile Merger 301
from the but-ma-was-so-close-to-being-rebuilt dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
If I wanted AT&T as my service provider I would have subscribed to their service.
If you have to buy customers perhaps it's time to change ones business strategy.
It makes sense. Think about all the business that T-Mobile lost while this thing was pending. People did not renew, some people did not switch to T-Mobile due to the uncertainty, etc. If it DOESN'T go through, T-Mobile needs to be compensated for that loss.
Not all slashdotters believe the same thing. For instance I think libertarians are either woefully naive, liars, or morons. I applaud the government taking action to ensure the cellular service market does not become a duopoly.
I never made such a claim. Again you act as though as all slashdot posts come from one person.
The government is not coming for me, as far as I can tell, and if it did I would defend myself in court. Government is needed and all functional societies have one.
I think you fall under his moron category. Three felonies a day? Give me a break. You have gone off the deep end.

I just set up my new Crankandstein 328D mill, tried to run some grain through, but the grain just sits on top of the rollers. I tried just a little handfull, and the drive roller spins but the other 2 seem to get bound up with the grain and won't turn.
Anyone else have this happen to them?
Did you mount it square?
Holy ****. 328D. Are you a commercial brewery?
Hand crank or drill? Are you using the factory settings or did you adjust the crush?
Crankenstein rocks. I love mine.
My sister-in-law raises horses. Gonna see if she has a old grain mill I can use.
My sister-in-law raises horses. Gonna see if she has a old grain mill I can use.
I have many horses and except for "sweet feed" as an occasional treat we feed our horses alfalfa hay. Don't know of anyone who "mills" grains for their horses. Montanaandy
It is mounted square, trying to start a commercial brewery. I'm using a motor to drive the mill, geared down to 280RPM, the manufacturer suggests 200RPM, there is only one driven roller, the others turn as the grain goes through, but the 2 non driven rollers will get a couple of peices of grain in them and then not turn while the driven roller turns.
I wonder if the extra 80RPM that I'm running is the culprit?
I had one, and couldnt get it to work consistently, so i sold it.
I collect magnetic bottle openers... so if you see something nice......
claphamsa on untappd
I have this happen sometimes if the gap is too tight. Or sometimes the grain just doesn't drain out of the hopper properly. When this happens I give the grain a poke with a dowel rod to get it to drop. Sometimes I'll CAREFULLY give the upper roller (non-powered one) a litle manual spin to get it to engage the grain
You basically have the same mill as I do but yours is on steroids I would agree that the gap may be too tight - you don't mention what you have it set at. I just left mine at the factory setting of .45 and even that setting requires quite a bit of elbow grease to get it going at times. I use the hand crank - I found that using a drill I was unable to get the crush that I wanted (too fine) because it was difficult to control the RPM's. Montanaandy
I have it set 1 or 2 settings below the factory setting, maybe I'll try the factory setting.

Video Of The Week - Opossum Goes Snowboarding!
Is it just our imagination or are animals getting sportier? First there was Twiggy, the water-skiing squirrel, then came Goatee, the surfing goat and now, Ratatouille the snowboarding opossum.
Nobody knows who this bushy-tailed marsupial that sported a ski pass with the name Ratatouille Bowers belongs to or, how it learnt these fabulous snowboarding skills. What is obvious though is that this sweater-wearing opossum loves to show off its skills and pose for the cameras.
As you can imagine, Ratatouille, who was filmed in action by the staff members of the Liberty Ski Resort in Carrol Valley, PA, has become an overnight sensation, garnering over one million views since the video was put on YouTube on March 7th, 2012.

Historical Traveler Reviews Residence Inn Toronto Airport
Closest Hotel to Perfection
My family and I stayed here in 2 one bedroom suites from August 11-13th. Our stay couldn't have been more perfect.
Suite are spacious with separate kitchen, living and bedrooms.
The bed was large and most comfortable. The sofa bed was also comfortable.
There were two very large t.v.'s in each of our rooms, one a plasma and the other a flat screen.
The kitchen was fully equipped with plates, utensils, microwave, full fridge and stove. We were able to cook without needing extra provisions.
Hotel staff were among the most pleasant and accomodating I have ever come across...and I have stayed at many hotels.
Having free wireless internet in the room was a definite plus.
The workout facility has the latest equipment including treadmill, elliptical, bikes and weight machines.
The pool and jacuzzi are very clean and the right temperatures.
The BUFFET BREAKFAST which is included in the price is excellent. There is something for every eater including eggs, sausage, waffles, fresh fruit, yoghurt, coffee, tea (herbal and regular), cereal, etc., etc. The food was quickly replenished by staff so you never had to wait for anything.
OVERALL: This is one of the best hotel stays I have experiences. I will definitely book here again.
Choose this hotel you will never go wrong
This hotel is super nice. The building and the facilities are brand new. The room we stayed had a micro wave oven, dishwasher and utensils and complete dinner set for four. We never use them but they are there just in case you are the type who choose to cook your own food. The hotel will even do the goceries for you if you needed them. The staff are superb. I will not hesitate to recommend this hotel.
Excellent Hotel with Kids!!!
Had a wonderful stay at the residence inn, service was good and the rooms are new. Perfect with kids, we were travelling with my 18 month old son and the room was spacious enough that he could walk around. The complimentary breakfast was very good with a lot of choices.... try the waffles.
We went to Canada's Wonderland which took us about 25-30 minutes to drive. And it is only 20-25 minutes from downtown.
I would highly recommend this hotel, we paid 175$/ngt for a one-bedroom but some people on this site seem to have got better rates.
Great Hotel, Good Location, Very Nice Deal
We love this hotel, very spacious, nice pictures and bathroom deco. The view of the landing aircrafts is also a nice plus for couples who have young kids. Highly recommend it. (not bad for someone who is very picky, along with picky family members who usually find reasons to disagree with my hotel choices :)
If you need to order Chinese food, Gourmet Express can deliver to the room, great food at very reasonable prices.
Would not hesitate to stay here again.
Very clean. Nicely decorated. Nice staff. We got the last room supposedly. Stopped in during a road trip. Was advised by the AAA manual that this was a decent place to stay. The price was originally 175.00 but reduced to 145.00 Canadian. Serving party sandwiches for dinner that night-did not try but breakfast was a winner. Lots of choices both hot and cold including sausage, eggs, toast, pastries, juice, coffee, etc. Decent treadmill in the small exercise room. My daughter loved the pool. We enjoyed the basketball court outside.
Best Hotel in Toronto
I did some research on this hotel on this site, and heard it was new- 2 years old.
The rooms - marble tile bathrooms, new pillow top beds, new carpeting, nice view.
Breakfast - complimentary - scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, all continental items, waffles, pancakes - all complimentary
Service - everyone from the front desk, to the breakfast help to housekeeping is friendly and do a terrific job.
Al in all, I can't think of a better hotel experience. They also have a nice fitness center, and pool.
You are right by the airport (2 miles), can see planes landing, but amazingly , cannot hear them at all inside the hotel.
Great deal!
The suite was spacious and the bed was extra comfortable. We could watch the planes landing from our windows but we did not hear the planes at all. The full kitchen was complete and included utensils, dishes, pots & pans. The only thing missing was an oven.
Popcorn was also provided. Supper is complimentary from Monday thru Thurday and it consisted of soup + pizza on the Thurday we were there. They also have fresh baked cookies in the lobby.
at $101 cdn per night this was excellent value for the area. many restaurants one block away and half an hour drive from downtown Toronto, it was perfect for us.
Spacious 2 bedroomed suites
Just 5 minutes from Toronto Airport (complimentary airport transfer if required), this hotel did not disappoint. We were 4 adults and had booked a 2 bedroomed suite. It was spacious, immaculately clean with new furnishings and state of the art tv's in both bedrooms and sitting room. The sitting room has a log effect remote control fire for cosy winter evenings and a well equiped kitchen which looked as though it had never been used. With 2 ensuite bedrooms this apartment on the 9th floor (top floor) could easily sleep 6. The breakfast was buffet style with plenty of choice and complimentary coffee and tea (make it yourself) was available allday from the sitting area. The two men in our party made the most of the free internet service and I enjoyed the indoor swimming pool. All-in-all, this has to be one of the best airport stopovers we have ever had.
June 17th 2006. Jan & Brendan Lomax & Ann & Gordon Milne, London .UK.
Wonderful Hotel!!!
From the minute we arrived and my daughter was offered as many cookies as her small tummy could manage by the check-in clerk, the staff could not have been more helpful nor polite. We were arriving after a long flight from the UK, and were slightly pensive about how good/bad the Residence Inn was going to turn out, given we only booked as our normal hotel we use in the Pearson airport area was full. Anyhow, the rooms are very new, clean and fitted out to a very high standard. The pool and fitness areas were also very neat and tidy, and there's even an outdoor basketball court for those that still have some energy left after a long journey. High speed internet access and breakfast are also offered complimentary by the hotel, and on both counts the service provided was first class. We'll definitely use the hotel again on future trips.
Clean, quiet, comfortable
We stayed only one night at the Residence Inn before our flight out to Vancouver the next morning. Our check in took a little longer than expected but the complimentary cookies at the front desk made up for it. The suite had a kitchenette, dining area, living area, desk and seperate bedroom. The hotel is fairly new so everything was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable with a lovely duvet and plush pillows. The complimentary breakfast and internet were a definate plus! Would definalty stay there again.

Niagara Falls
Le Germain Maple Leaf Square has breakfast so we enjoyed a healthy one before our tour to Niagara Fall. We were the first of the group to be picked up, so we saw a bit of down town Toronto. Niagara Falls is about 100 miles from Toronto on the Niagara Peninsula. There were a group who were going to do the helicopter tour but it was not flying on our way there. Initially thought this was because of the cloud cover but later in the day heard there was a celebrity ...

Pathetic: Obama Admin. Airs Ad In Pakistan Condeming "Innocence Of Muslims"
While Team Obama isn't willing to air an ad here in the United States apologizing to all the Tea Party members whom he called "Teabaggers", all the private citizens Team Obama has insulted, the women insulted by million dollar donor Bill Mahr, nor all the Mormons who've been denigrated by the Broadway show "The Book Of Mormon", they're willing to apologize and distance themselves from a stupid movie made using our 1st Amendment
(Politico) The Obama administration is airing ads on Pakistani television condemning the anti-Islamic film "The Innocence of Muslims," a State Department spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.
"As you know, after the video came out, there was concern in lots of bodies politic, including Pakistan, as to whether this represented the views of the U.S. Government. So in order to ensure we reached the largest number of Pakistanis — some 90 million, as I understand it in this case with these spots — it was the judgment that this was the best way to do it," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters.
The ads show clips of President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemning the film in English (but dubbed in Urdu) in remarks they made last week, emphasizing that it was not produced or authorized by the United States government.
Wonderful. Appeasement to extremist animals
(Bloomberg) The 30-second U.S. announcement, subtitled in Urdu, shows Obama saying the U.S. rejects "all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others." Clinton is shown saying, "the United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. We absolutely reject its content and message."
Liberals like to talk about a "separation between church and state". When the Central Government is offering protection for one specific religion, it is putting that religion above the others, almost making it the state religion. It gets better!
A second message featuring clips, drawn from Google Inc. (GOOG)'s YouTube, of ordinary Americans condemning the film is also being shown in countries around the world, according to State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. The anti-Islam video drew international condemnation when it was posted on YouTube, a video-sharing service.
When will the US get apologies and condemnations coming from the Muslim world for 9/11? For sawing the head off of Nick Berg and others? For the huge amount of terrorist attacks against Americans and American property? For the Pan Am attack over Lockerbie? How about for the killing of our Ambassador and support staff?
Pakistan's Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf appealed for calm as security forces bid to counter violent protests against an anti-Islam film that continues to spark demonstrations in the Muslim world.
The government shut mobile-phone services in major cities and closed roads leading to U.S. diplomatic posts in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad using shipping containers. Protesters set fire to two movie theaters and the chamber of commerce building in the northwestern city of Peshawar, while demonstrators blocked roads in Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi, local television channels showed.
The mobile system will be shut down till 6pm Pakistan time Friday to keep the Islamist from coordinating their continuing violent protests. And, if you have to urge followers of the Religion of Peace to be peaceful, well, that says quite a bit about what the faithful believe.

A Safety Slip: Don't Hold a Child in Your Lap on Playground Slides
Parents are unknowingly putting their young children at risk for leg fractures, says new study from Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics
A new study published this week in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics found a relationship between young children going down a slide on the lap of an adult and tibia fractures. The study, conducted at Winthrop University Hospital, reviewed children with tibia fractures over an eleven month period and found 13.8% of the tibia fractures were sustained while sliding down a slide on an adult's lap.
"The correlation between a young child sliding down a slide while in an adult's lap has not previously been related to fractures of the tibia," stated study author John T. Gaffney, DO, an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in pediatrics in New York. "Many parents think it is actually safer to hold their toddler while going down a playground slide, but this study may prove otherwise," he added.
Typically, injuries sustained in Dr. Gaffney's study happened: when a young child was in an adult's lap while sliding and placed their leg in a position where it became fixed, while both the adult and child continued moving down the slide; or in other cases, the child's leg became twisted, creating a torque that led to a fracture in the lower extremity. All tibia fractures associated with playing on a slide were sustained while going down the slide on the lap of an adult or older sibling. The age range of patients who sustained a tibia fracture while going down a slide was 14 months to 32 months.
Joan Mescall's son Gavin was part of Dr. Gaffney's study. Gavin was 14 months at the time of his tibia fracture, just one year ago. "You think you are doing the right thing, and then you realize you contributed to this accident," said Mescall. "Once a week I see a parent doing this at the park and I try to warn them," she added. "Parents of the patient's in this study, just like Joan, were dismayed and frustrated at the lack of public awareness that such a common practice could cause, not prevent, an injury," said Gaffney. "Although going down the slide with a child on your lap may seem like an enjoyable moment for both, it can be putting them in danger," he stated. "As a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon I want to prevent injuries, not just treat them, and if we can prevent just one toddler from sustaining a leg fracture, we are doing our job," added Gaffney.

Researchers at UCLA are seeking a way to make blood stem cells in the bone marrow resist HIV, a treatment they hope would be more effective than current therapies and eventually might immunize people against the virus. The scientists, who have completed an initial clinical trial, are hoping to find a way to insert a gene into bone marrow stem cells that would either prevent HIV from infecting the cells or deactivate any virus already present in the cells.

We don't know about you, but we never stop fighting the good fight against dry skin, especially come the winter months. Meet the most effective weapon in our arsenal. This dry oil hydrates parched skin and disappears in seconds without any residual stickiness or oiliness. And the scent is truly divine, with fresh notes of Moroccan and Bulgarian rose, grapefruit, vanilla, and the subtlest floral undertones.
I like the fragrance and I love how it is a moisturizer for every part of body. Apply to damp skin for maximum absorption. Good for hair shine and I like how it sprays on. I can't wait for dry fall weather and the winter. I feel prepared for the dryness the weather brings.5
I love that I can use this oil on my cuticles because I love painting my nails! Used it on my skin and it was great. Not oily for something called an "oil". A little really goes a long way - I'm still not done with my sample! Next time I blow dry my hair I also want to use it on my split ends to see how it work. 3-in-one products are definitely worth it!5
I've been using this every day since I got the sample and am still not even close to being finished with the vial -- a little goes a very long way! I use it on my face at night and when I wake up, my skin feels amazing. Plus it has a very calming scent that helps lull me to sleep. I will definitely purchase this once my sample runs out.5
