Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an: Islam and the Founders
In this original and illuminating book, Denise A. Spellberg reveals a little-known but crucial dimension of the story of American religious freedom—a drama in which Islam played a surprising role. In 1765, eleven years before composing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson bought a Qur'an. This marked only the beginning of his lifelong interest in Islam, and he would go on to acquire numerous books on Middle Eastern languages, history, and travel, taking extensive notes on Islam as it relates to English common law. Jefferson sought to understand Islam notwithstanding his personal disdain for the faith, a sentiment prevalent among his Protestant contemporaries in England and America. But unlike most of them, by 1776 Jefferson could imagine Muslims as future citizens of his new country.

Prof. Intisar Rabb on Harvard Law Faculty
September 19, 2013 by TMO
By Sophy Bishop
Intisar A. Rabb, a leading expert on Islamic Law and legal history, will join the faculty of Harvard Law School beginning Spring 2014, with an appointment as a tenured Professor of Law.
Rabb is currently associate professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and Law at New York University School of Law, where she holds a joint appointment at the NYU Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies Department and the NYU School of Law. At HLS, she will be a faculty director of the Islamic Legal Studies Program.
Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow said: "Intisar is a first-rate scholar; she engages across historical and present-day legal issues and materials with nimbleness and contagious curiosity. We are delighted she is joining this community and look forward to supporting her keen interest in using the web and other tools for sharing accurate information about the Middle East and Islamic legal traditions with students, scholars, journalists and people all over the world. Generations of students and colleagues at HLS, at Harvard, and beyond will benefit enormously from her expertise, her teaching, and her wonderful way of engaging others in discussion of important issues."
In 2012, Rabb served as a visiting associate professor of law at Harvard Law School. From 2011 to 2013, she was a fellow at HLS's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, where she worked with a team to develop an online database aimed at connecting legal scholars and media producers with credible, authoritative information about trends in Islamic law. In 2010, she was named a Carnegie Scholar for her research on "Islamic Law and Legal Change: The Internal Critique," which examines criminal law reform in the Muslim world.
Said Rabb: "I am thrilled to be joining Harvard Law School: the ideal community in which to further explore and teach concepts of Islamic law, legal history, and comparative law in an interdisciplinary way. My colleagues at HLS are stellar scholars and teachers; I found the students I taught there to be consistently sharp and engaged; and the library resources—especially for the study of Islamic and Middle Eastern law—are unparalleled in any North American law school. In addition to continuing down the many avenues of intellectual engagement there, I look forward to coming back to the HLS classroom and to the library. I also look forward to building the Islamic Legal Studies Program to its full potential."
Rabb holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies (with a focus on Islamic Law) from Princeton University. Her dissertation, which won the Princeton NES Bayard and Cleveland Dodge Memorial Thesis Prize for Best Ph.D. Dissertation, focused on the history and function of legal maxims in Islamic law. In addition to her Ph.D., Rabb earned a B.S. from Georgetown University in Government and Arabic in 1999, a M.A. in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton in 2005 and a J.D. from Yale Law School, in 2006.
She served as a law clerk to the Hon. Thomas L. Ambro of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, from 2006 to 2007, and subsequently worked with members of the bench and bar in the United Kingdom as a Temple Bar Scholar through the American Inns of Court. Rabb speaks Arabic and Persian and has reading proficiency in French, German, and Spanish.
Her publications include: "The Burden and Benefit of Doubt: Legal Maxims in Early Islamic Law" (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2014); "Law and Tradition in Classical Islamic Thought," co-edited with Michael Cook, Najam Haider, and Asma Sayeed, (Palgrave MacMillan, 2013) and "Qāḍī Justice: Courts and The Administration of Justice in Early Islamic Law and Society" (Cambridge University Press, under contract).
Currently, Rabb serves on the board of the Journal of Islamic Law and Society and as an executive Board Member on the Section on Islamic Law and as chair-elect of the Section on Comparative Law for the American Association of Law Schools. In the past, she has served as a guest editor of the Journal of Law and Religion.

The Queen is to appoint aristocrat who converted to Islam as her High Sheriff
The Earl of Yarborough, who took the name Abdul Mateen after he became a Muslim, has been nominated as the Queen's High Sheriff of Lincolnshire
While the Prince of Wales has been praising the unifying strengths of the Commonwealth, the Queen is preparing for an eye-catching appointment back home.
Mandrake hears that an aristocrat who converted to Islam has been nominated to be the High Sheriff of Lincolnshire, the monarch's representative in the county.
The Earl of Yarborough, who uses the name Abdul Mateen, will take the unpaid role next year.
On the death of his father in 1991, he inherited the bulk of the £68 million estate, which includes Brocklesby Park in Lincolnshire, 27,500 acres of farmland, and one of Britain's finest private art collections.
His father was quite a character. At his village carol service, he once read the lesson about the shepherds deserting their flocks to see the baby in Bethlehem.
"I'd just like to say," he told the startled congregation, "that if these men had been my shepherds, I'd have sacked them."
A Mandrake plant?
Her husband's ancestral home, Alnwick Castle, pictured above, doubles as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films, but the Duchess of Northumberland could be the new J K Rowling.
Rowling's publisher, Bloomsbury, is to publish a series of novels inspired by the duchess and the Poison Garden she created at Alnwick.
The books will be about a half-human, half-plant creature called Weed, who is given miraculous powers by innocuously eating poisonous and hallucinogenic herbs, which he uses to fight evil.
Bloomsbury is also in talks about a possible television series and a film dramatisation. Sounds wizard.

Genital Mutilation Is Anti-Circumcision
Female genital excision has been banned in Egypt since 2008. Now, for the first time, a doctor is about to stand trial for carrying out the procedure, with a court date set for April 24, 2014 in Aga.
Human rights organizations fought for prosecution in this case, believing that the death of a thirteen year old girl last June offered the chance for a precedent-setting verdict against an ingrained custom, which supporters generally refer to as female circumcision.
It is totally false to compare the custom of female genital mutilation to the religious practice of male circumcision.
First, while there are great medical benefits from removal of the foreskin of a male, especially in reducing the spread of HIV; there is no medical benefit to a female from the removal of her clitoris and labia.
In Africa, Jewish and Muslim men have much lower rates of AIDS than uncircumcised Christian men.
Second, there is no evidence that female genital mutilation promotes chastity and preserves a woman's virtue. Having a considerate, loving and faithful husband does much more to promote a woman's virtue than female genital mutilation.
Third, male circumcision is a religious requirement; female genital mutilation is only a tribal custom, originating in sub Sahara Africa; which is now being spread by religious extremists to Asia and the West as part of a reaction against the rising rate of girls going to school and woman going to work outside the home.
Evidence that female genital mutilation is a only a custom comes from the fact that in rural Egypt even Coptic Christians mutilate their daughters genitals.
Also female genital mutilation had been denounced by all the major Islamic scholars in the Muslim world.
Finally, male circumcision is derived from the God inspired practice if Abraham and Muhammad.
God said to Abraham (Genesis 17:7): "I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your offspring after you throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you...
(8-12) "And I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are now an alien, all the land of Canaan, for a perpetual holding; and I will be their God. And God said to Abraham, "As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
"You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. Throughout your generations every male among you shall be circumcised when he is eight days old,
And Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to follow the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). When Allah said (Qur'an 16:123) "Then We inspired you: 'Follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright in Faith'." And part of the religion of Ibrahim is, as is evident from the verses cited above, to practice circumcision.
Abraham was an old man when he circumcised himself, thus becoming a good example that one is never to old to do God's will. As a Hadith says: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: " Prophet Ibrahim circumcised himself when he was eighty years old and he circumcised himself with an axe." (Related by Bukhari, Muslim & Ahmad.)
Abraham's first born son Ishmael, was a young boy when he was circumcised, so Muslims do not have to circumcise their son's on an exact date. A Hadith states: When Ibn Abbas was asked "How old were you when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) died?" He replied, "At that time I had been circumcised. At that time people did not circumcise boys till they attained the age of puberty (Baligh)." (Bukhari)
Prophet Muhammad himself selected the 7th day after birth to circumcise his own grandsons: Abdullah Ibn Jabir and Aisha both said: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the Aqiqah of al-Hasan and al-Hussein (the prophets grandsons) circumcising them on the 7th. Day." (Related in al-Bayhaq & Tabarani)
Thus, for Jews circumcision is a sign of the covenant that God made with Abraham and his sons Ishmael and Isaac and their descendants for future generations.
For Muslims it is a sign or their close connection to Abraham which is also celebrated each year at the annual Hajj ceremonies.
For both Muslims and Jews it is a sign that one who submits to God's commandments and covenant cannot expect a life without some pain and suffering. When endured for the right reasons it always leads eventually to great spiritual benefits.
Female genital mutilation is the exact opposite of circumcision both medically and religiously.

Little known fact from history.
The First Muslim-American Scholar: Bilali Muhammad
Feb. 24 African History, Featured, Islam in the Americas, Modern History no comments
An unfortunate misconception among today's American Muslim community is that Islam has only been present in America for less than 100 years. Many American Muslims are children of immigrants who came to the United States from the Middle East and South Asia in the mid-nineteenth century, and thus wrongly assume that the first Muslims in America were those immigrants. The reality, however, is that Islam has been in America for far longer than that. Besides possible pre-Colombian Muslim explorers from al-Andalus and West Africa, Islam arrived on America's shores in waves through the Atlantic slave trade from the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. While hundreds of thousands of slaves arrived in America during this time, the stories of only a few have been preserved and are known today. One of the most enduring and unique is that of Bilali Muhammad.
The Slave Trade
A slave auction advertisement from Charleston, South Carolina in 1769.
As European nations began to colonize the New World in the 1500s, a demand for cheap labor arose. Plantations, mines, and farms needed workers throughout North and South America, and the native population of the New World proved unsuitable due to their lack of immunity to European diseases. As a result, European powers such as Britain, France, Portugal, and Spain looked south, towards Africa, for a source of slave labor they could exploit.
Thus, European slave traders began arriving at ports in Africa, looking to buy slaves. Generally, Europeans did not go and capture slaves themselves. Instead, they would commonly pay local rulers to go to war with other African states, capture warriors, and sell them to be taken to America. The African rulers would be paid commonly in weapons, which would further perpetuate the cycle of violence and enslavement. The entire system worked to handicap Africa's social, political, and economic development, and the results of this genocide are still felt in Africa today.
Estimates vary, but over 12 million Africans were probably forcibly taken from their homelands to serve as slaves in America, with as many as 20% of them dying on the trans-Atlantic journey known as the Middle Passage. Since much of the slave trade was focused on West Africa, a large number of those slaves were undoubtedly Muslim. The savanna kingdoms of Mali and Songhai had long been centers of Islamic civilization in West Africa and a huge Muslim population existed in the region
Bilali Muhammad
One of the many Muslim slaves taken to America was Bilali Muhammad. He was from the Fulbe tribe and was born around 1770 in the city of Timbo, in what is now Guinea. He came from a well-educated family, and received a high level of education himself in Africa before being captured as a slave some time in the late 1700s. He was fluent in the Fula language along with Arabic, and had knowledge of high level Islamic studies, including Hadith, Shari'ah, and Tafsir. How he was captured is unknown, but he was originally taken to an island plantation in the Caribbean, and by 1802, he arrived at Sapelo Island, off the coast of Georgia in the southern United States.
At Sapelo Island, Bilali was fortunate enough to have Thomas Spalding as a slave owner. While conditions across the South were horrendous for slaves, who were forced to work throughout the day and were commonly denied such basic necessities as clothes and stable shelter, Spalding gave certain freedoms to his slaves that were absent elsewhere. He did not push the slaves to work more than six hours per day, had no white slave drivers, and even allowed his Muslim slaves to practice their religion openly, a rare freedom in the deeply Christian South. Bilali was even allowed to construct a small mosque on the plantation, which very well may have been the first mosque in North America.
Because of Bilali's relatively high level of education, he rose to the top of the slave community, and was relied upon by his owner to take care of much of the administration of the plantation and its few hundred slaves. Perhaps the most remarkable account of Bilali Muhammad's leadership and trustworthiness occurred during the War of 1812 between the United States and the United Kingdom. Spalding reportedly left the plantation with his family, fearing a British attack, and put Bilali in charge of the plantation's defense. He even gave Bilali 80 muskets to defend the island with, which were distributed among the plantation's Muslim population. Bilali kept true to his word and managed the plantation while his owner was gone and turned it back over to Spalding after the war. The fact that a slave owner trusted his slaves so much as to give them control of the plantation along with weapons speaks volumes about the character and trustworthiness of Bilali Muhammad.
The Bilali Document
As a well-educated Muslim from West Africa, Bilali no doubt brought his Islamic education with him to America. This is evidenced by a thirteen-page manuscript he wrote and gifted to a southern writer, Francis Robert Goulding, before he died in 1857. The manuscript was written in Arabic, and was thus unreadable for most Americans for decades. It made its way eventually to the Georgia State Library by 1931, who attempted to decipher the manuscript, which was popularly believed to have been Bilali's diary.

Non-Muslim Rights in the Ottoman Empire
Much like previous Muslim Empires, the Ottomans showed great toleration and acceptance of non-Muslim communities in their empire. This is based on existing Muslim laws regarding the status of non-Muslims. They are protected, given religious freedoms, and free from persecution according to the Shariah. One of the first precedents of this was the Treaty of Umar ibn al-Khattab, in which he guaranteed the Christians of Jerusalem total religious freedom and safety.
The Millet System
The first instance of the Ottomans having to rule a large number of Christians was after the conquest of Constantinople by Sultan Mehmed II in 1453. Constantinople had historically been the center of the Orthodox Christian world, and still had a large Christian population. As the empire grew into Europe, more and more non-Muslims came under Ottoman authority. For example, in the 1530s, over 80% of the population in Ottoman Europe was not Muslim. In order to deal with these new Ottoman subjects, Mehmed instituted a new system, later called the millet system.
Under this system, each religious group was organized into a millet. Millet comes from the Arabic word for "nation", indicating that the Ottomans considered themselves the protectors of multiple nations. Each religious group was considered its own millet, with multiple millets existing in the empire. For example, all Orthodox Christians in the Ottoman Empire were considered as constituting a millet, while all Jews constituted another millet.
Each millet was allowed to elect its own religious figure to lead them. In the case of the Orthodox Church (the biggest Church in the Ottoman Empire), the Orthodox Patriarch (the Archbishop of Constantinople) was the elected leader of the millet. The leaders of the millets were allowed to enforce their own religion's rules on their people. Islamic law (Shariah) had no jurisdiction over non-Muslims in the Ottoman Empire.
In cases of crime, people would be punished according to the rules of their own religion, not Islamic rules or rules of other religions. For example, if a Christian were to steal, he would be punished according to the Christian laws regarding theft. If a Jew were to steal, he were to be punished according to Jewish laws, etc. The only time Islamic law would come into account was if the criminal was a Muslim, or when there was a case involving two people from different millets. In that case, a Muslim judge was to preside over the case and judge according to his best judgement and common law.
In addition to religious law, millets were given freedom to use their own language, develop their own institutions (churches, schools, etc), and collect taxes. The Ottoman sultan only exercised control over the millets through their leaders. The millet leaders ultimately reported to the sultan, and if there was a problem with a millet, the sultan would consult that millet leader. Theoretically, the Muslim population of the Ottoman Empire also constituted a millet, with the Ottoman sultan as the millet leader.
The Ottoman Empire lasted from 1300 to 1922. Throughout most of this history, the millet system provided a system of religious harmony and belonging throughout the empire. As the empire expanded, more millets were organized. Separate millets existed for Armenian, Catholic, and Orthodox Christians, for example, with each sect being divided further into more specific regional churches.

We believe if Jarran brings a good work ethic day in and day out that he can be an impact player for us right away as a freshman. He is the type of student athlete that we are looking for. He works hard and is a high character kid with good a good GPA. We are excited about his future."

He has been a very dedicated player and person in our program for many years. Jarran has been an off-season award winner in our program the last two years and spends a great deal of time working on his game. He is a great role-model for our program due to his character both on and off the field. Jarran's speed, athleticism, and work-ethic will turn him into a fine college player for the Rattlers and Coach Carillo. The Riders family would like to congratulate Jarran on his signing."

Western Nebraska CC is a Division 1 Junior College and competes in the NJCAA Region IX District. They last won the Region IX District in 2007.Their head coach Mike Jones has been the only coach in the program's history since it started in 2002. Estabrook is the 29th Roughrider to sign to play collegiately since 2006.
Coach Jones on Estabrook: "We're really excited to add Wyatt to our pitching staff for next year. He is a solid left handed pitcher with good command and movement. He showed a competitive attitude during the state tournament over the summer so we look forward to working with him as a college pitcher. We expect Wyatt to come in as a freshman and pitch right away. We know he comes from a good program and has been playing good competition so we are confident he will continue to improve during his final summer season."
Last season Estabrook led the Riders pitching staff in wins with 7 and had 100 strikeouts, which was second in the Riders all-time single season record book. In his sophomore year (2012), he went 10-3 also leading the team in wins. At the end of his career this summer, Estabrook will rank near or at the top of almost all the Riders all-time career pitching records.
Coach Perleberg on Estabrook: "Wyatt has been such a dedicated player and person to our program. Very seldom, do you get a kid that buys into the program and what we do the way that Wyatt has. It's been a privilege working 1-on-1 as much as I have with Wyatt over the years. Its been a very rewarding experience for me personally. He has had a great career here and will have another great year this year, but honestly I think the future is even brighter for him. He has a great body for pitching and a solid work ethic. We have had very few players go Division 1 out of high school, so this obviously a great accomplishment for both him and our program. I expect him to do great things at the next level and beyond."
Wyatt currently has a 3.8 cum GPA at Campbell County High School in Gillette and will graduate this May. Estabrook is the son of John and Melody Estabrook of Gillette.
Zach Donahoo/Williston State College
Riders senior infielder Zach Donahoo has signed a letter of intent to play college baseball at Williston State CC in Williston, ND. Williston State is a Division 2 Junior College. Williston State Baseball in 3 years under Coach Shawn Cote has 80 wins including a school record 32-21 mark in 2012 and finished the season ranked #15 in the country which was the first time in program history that they have cracked the top 20. They have won the Region XIII title 2 out of 3 years and was North plains district runner-up in 2011-2012.
Coach Cote on Donahoo: We are very excited to add Zach to our program. Zach emulates everything our program is about, relentless, hard work, dedication, loyalty. Our program has been successful in the past because we get kids like Zach that refuse to give up and are relentless in their preparation. Zach is a tremendous athlete that I think will continue to grow in our program. The tremendous coaching he has received from Coach Perleberg and his staff and the success of the legion program in Gillette will help him be prepared for the next level.
Last season Donahoo hit .220 in 60 games as the Riders everyday starting shortstop. He also scored 28 runs, had 21 RBI, and 15 stolen bases. Zach is also one the top relief pitchers for the Riders and won 3 games last year, including 2 saves.
Coach Perleberg on Donahoo: "Zach has been such a great story coming up through our progam," said Riders coach Nate Perleberg. "I have never seen a young man have to overcome so much off the field. He has been faced with many trials off the field, but has used them to become such a strong young man with great character. On the field, Zach has probably been as improved of a player that we've ever had. He has literally made himself into a college caliber player through his work ethic. He's a solid defensive player and has really worked hard this winter on his swing. He is a great competitor and never backs down from a challenge. He will be a great addition to the Teton program, because of the desire and dedication that he brings on a daily basis."
Zach currently has a 4.0 GPA at Westwood High School and will graduate in March. Zach is the son of Jerry and Jennifer Donahoo of Gilette.

Dear Beaglesdoitbetter
I have been an admirer of your rooms for awhile now. I stumbled across your Flickr account this morning and it appears as if we are using the same master bathroom as an inspiration - two parallel vanities with master tub at the end. Do you have something posted with your design choices - tile, tub, fixtures, lighting, etc? Not trying to stalk you but I would love to see how you are finishing out your space if you are indeed also building this bathroom.
Best regards,
Hi maggie530
I am just getting started. I am using that picture as a loose estimation of a modified layout. (if you check out my thread on this forum about the layout, you will see my potential plan). I don't have anything actually picked out yet though, we are going to start taking down the walls maybe next week if we can get the layout worked out.
It is going to be very slow going though, my contractor who has done all the work on my house gives me a very, very good price but he is very slow and is right now only working on the project evenings and weekends. So, it might be a while before I get to the tile, tub, light fixture stage :)

Touch of Frost-Season 2 (1993)
Learn more about Touch of Frost-Season 2:
|A Touch of Frost is one of Britain's most successful detective series. The drama stars award-winning actor David Jason as Detective Inspector Jack Frost, an unconventional policeman with a knack for attracting trouble. It has consistently placed in the top 10 on UK TV since the series debuted in 1992.
Set in the dreary town of Denton near Bristol in southern England, Frost prefers solving crime to the monotony of police paperwork. Sloppy, disorganized and cantankerous, he often clashes with his commander, Superintendent Norman "Horn-rimmed Harry" Mullett. A champion for the common man, Frost approaches each case with his characteristic dry wit and a sense of moral justice.
A Touch of Frost Season 2 includes:
"A Minority of One" - Frost and a black detective constable investigate residents at the Eastdean Estate housing project, where young, black men have been accused of a string of commercial burglaries. Frost feels responsible when an informant is murdered. The informant's child is kidnapped and Frost embarks on a one-man rescue mission.
"Widows and Orphans" - Frost is reluctant to investigate a rash of break-ins at the homes of elderly citizens due to lack of evidence until an elderly woman is found badly beaten. A new female partner dispenses free advice on Jack's love life and he asks Shirley Fisher to dinner.
"Nothing to Hide" - Frost gets a new partner whose attitude problem stems from a recent demotion. Is a drug addict's death accidental - or is it murder? Frost deals with personal issues involving an old flame.
"Stranger in the House" - A serial rapist is on the loose in Denton. A teenaged girl is missing and Frost fears she may be the next victim. The investigation becomes jeopardized when Frost finds a possible connection with the victim's father. Under pressure to remove himself from the case, he uses WPC Hazel Wallace to bait the rapist, placing her in grave danger.
Editor's NoteBased on the crime novels of R.D. Wingfield, the long-running British television series A Touch of Frost stars award-winning actor David Jason as scruffy police detective Jack Frost. Tracking down wrongdoers in the fictitious town of Denton, England, Frost solves cases with a healthy dose of humor and an unconventional style that places him at odds with both criminals and his own police force. This multi-volume set contains the entire second season for a total of 4 episodes: "A Minority of One," "Widows and Orphans," "Nothing to Hide," and "Stranger in the House."

This family-run campground has seen better days and was for sale when we visited. The all back-in, paved, 30 amp full-service sites are accessed up a steep and winding paved interior road that's sorely in need of maintenance. Trees need trimming both on the access road and the sites; the owner refused to trim pine branches that were digging into the side of our rig. There is an extra fee for everything from pets to rest room keys. Most of the sites accommodate big rigs and over half appear to be satellite-friendly. We camped at United Trails Campground in a Motorhome.Undo

North Korea Threatens To Attack U.S., South Korean Bases
Originally published on Fri March 29, 2013 1:26 pm
North Korea says it has moved its artillery and ballistic missiles into "combat posture" for possible use against targets in South Korea, Guam, Hawaii and the U.S. mainland.
"From this moment, the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army will be putting in combat duty posture No. 1 all field artillery units including long-range artillery units [and] strategic rocket units that will target all enemy object in U.S. invasionary bases," the official KCNA news agency said.
KCNA said Pyongyang's forces had been "assigned to strike bases of the U.S. imperialist aggressor troops in the U.S. mainland and on Hawaii and Guam and other operational zones in the Pacific as well as all the enemy targets in South Korea and its vicinity."
The statement, which cited the participation of nuclear-capable B-52 bombers in South Korea-U.S. drills, came on the third anniversary of what South Korea says was a North Korean torpedo attack on one of its ships, which killed 46 sailors.
The Associated Press quotes Seoul's Defense Ministry as saying it hasn't seen any suspicious North Korean military activity and that officials were analyzing the North's warning.
Update at 2:25 p.m. ET: Pentagon Says 'Ready To Respond'
A Pentagon spokesman says Tuesday that the U.S. is "ready to respond to any developments."
"We're concerned about any threat raised by the North Koreans," George Little told reporters. "They need to stop threatening peace on the peninsula, that doesn't help anyone.
"We stand ready to respond to any contingency," Little said.
Update at 1:20 p.m. ET on March 29: That Photo? It's North Korean Photoshop:
It turns out that the photo at the top of this post, released by KCNA via Getty, is doctored. The Picture Show explains.

Titanfall was a good game for what it was -- a fun, but not revolutionary shooter. It didn't change gaming (or even the genre) forever, and some players abandoned it weeks after launch, turning many playlists into desolate wastelands. It was Unreal Tournament lite with mechs, basically. The end.
So far, the DLC hasn't measured up to the core game, but there are still two more packs to go. Today the second map pack titled Frontier's Edge drops, alongside of a very cool free update that brings a (non-microtransaction filled) store into the mix called the "Black Market."
The Black Market is actually a cooler add-on than the paid DLC.view full story + comments

Gaucamelee was one of my favorite games of 2013. In addition to presenting a refreshing Metroidvania world worth exploring, it also had a solid combat system as well as some incredibly unique art.
It was a ton of fun, and it was clear after completing it for the first time that developer Drinkbox Studios wasn't done with protagonist Juan's tale. In addition to a few pieces of DLC scattered about the past year, Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition is upon us, with a host of updates, tweaks, and never-seen-before content.view full story + comments

After months of hype it's nice to be able to sit down and actually play a game for yourself. It's crazy to think that Bungie sent over members of the press to an event without even giving them a chance to play Destiny, but here we are these many months later, and the technical alpha has started for PlayStation 4 owners.

The revised, slimmer, lighter version of PlayStation Vita hit shelves this week. It's been out in Japan since October of last year, and now we're finally getting ours in a Borderlands 2 hardware bundle (which also includes 8GB PS Vita memory, all for $199).
There are plenty of portable-playing gamers on the fence over this new Vita model, so I thought I'd weigh in as a user and fan. I'm not necessarily trying to sell you on these. I mean, it's not like Sony gives me a cut or anything. I just want to go against some of the criticisms I've heard and explain that I think the slim Vita is pretty great.
This piece won't cover why you should or shouldn't get a Vita. Because really?
Maybe we'll have that talk later.view full story + comments
I was mostly satisfied with MLB 14 The Show's initial PS3 and Vita release. Hitting ahead of the PS4 version led to some (perhaps overdue) improvements, from the UI overhaul to PS3/PS4/Vita cross saves to a universal The Show profile to franchise carry over into the next years' installments.
Coupled with little touches like a new dynamic camera angle, the addictive weekly challenge, and even more gameplay options (Quick Count and Player Lock), it felt like a worthy send off for the best baseball series of the last generation.
The problem, of course, is when the PS4 version hits (now), none of this is new. It just looks better. And somehow loads slower.view full story + comments

Anita and her partner were lovely guests. Communication up to their stay was easy and straight forward. They were both very friendly when we met to exchange keys and I felt happy leaving them in my flat. They also left the flat very clean and tidy. I would be very happy to have them to stay again.
Anita Cook was a very pleasant guest, very friendly and communicative. I can recommend such a guest to everybody
Anita, her husband and their friends were very friendly, extremely tidy and respectful - simply a joy to have as guests and highly recommendable !
Great guests, really enjoyed having you!! Very fun friendly folks who left the place spotless!

The Boiling Crab in Alhambra a fun, messy seafood feast
With the opening of an outpost in Westwood — the chain's biggest branch to date — the Vietnamese-run Cajun seafood phenomenon known as The Boiling Crab has finally spread beyond the Asian enclaves of Southern California into its most ethnically mixed community yet.But this made me wonder how the first of the local Boiling Crabs was doing some three years after it first opened on Valley Boulevard in Alhambra. Since the lines began forming there back in 2012, The...
Cafe Massilia a classic French restaurant in Monrovia
Cafe Massilia, which sits in a space that's been a number of restaurants over the years, is that rarest of breeds in the San Gabriel Valley. It's an actual French restaurant. Not Vietnamese-French or Asian fusion-French, or even Cal-French. It's a tiny French restaurant in Monrovia serving the sort of classic French dishes that used to be a very big deal for those of us who grew up believing that there was no food better in the world than French.Cafe Massilia is...
Szechuan Impression in Alhambra a quirky, delectable experience in Chinese cuisine
Those who follow the ebb and flow of Chinese cuisine in the San Gabriel Valley have watched — and eaten — with fascination as the culinary epicenter has moved from Cantonese seafood to Shanghai dumplings, Taiwanese stews, Shangxi noodles, Nanjing duck, Wuhan hot pot — the list goes on and on. Underlying it all, however, has been the remarkably spicy subculture of Szechuan restaurants, which takes us to Szechuan Impression.The Alhambra restaurant sits a bit off the...
Mike & Anne's in South Pasadena great for brunch and more
Back in the day, Mike & Anne's was a sweet American eatery that opened in the space next to an antique shop in a Mission Street mini-mall. Here, the good people of South Pasadena demonstrated that a slow-braised pulled pork sandwich and a heaping plate of spaghetti Bolognese ultimately trump a mid-century modern casual chair. As a result, what used to be the antique shop (if memory serves me right), became Mike & Anne's bar, a snappy destination for some tasty mixology...
Head to Lunasia in Pasadena for delicious dim sum and Chinese food
Those of us who live for dim sum have long known that some of the best of the best are found at the decidedly elegant Lunasia on Main Street in Alhambra. It's an upscale Chinese seafood restaurant that offers dumplings and more dumplings as a late morning/early afternoon exercise in pure pleasure. Like many of the more upscale dim sum houses, Lunasia's small dishes are ordered from a menu, rather than grabbed from a fast-moving cart, driven by a dim sum lady heading for...
Pho Ngoon in San Gabriel a modest, yet tasty Vietnamese restaurant
The very tasty Pho Ngoon, in a busy mini-mall at the northwest corner of Valley and San Gabriel boulevards in San Gabriel, is an unusual Vietnamese restaurant on a number of levels. First of all, it may have the smallest menu of any Vietnamese restaurant in town. Rather than the dishes numbering in the dozens, there are only 13 dishes in all, along with a few add-ons. Where most Vietnamese eateries offer pho upon pho, at Pho Ngoon — the name to the contrary — there are...
Bachi Burger in Pasadena, West L.A. serves Asian-inspired gastropub fare
The way things used to work was that restaurants from across America (and around the world) set up outposts — culinary colonies — in Las Vegas. Restaurateurs like Wolfgang Puck, Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse all headed for Las Vegas to make the big score, take home the big buck, just like the rest of us (except sometimes, they actually succeeded).But that was then. Now, unexpectedly, restaurants are beginning to rise in the heat of the Nevada desert and head this way.
Din Tai Fung in Arcadia a perfect spot for dumplings and more
Going to Din Tai Fung with a group on a Saturday night is, perhaps, just a tad foolish. But then, since this Chinese dumpling house is rarely without a wait, there are strategies that can be used. The most popular strategy is playing off one Din Tai Fung against the other. There are two branches pretty much adjacent — about a one-minute walk apart, though they do sit on opposing parking lots. So here's the game: One member of your party puts in his/her name at one...
Whittier's Forkin Good Cafe: good food, service lacking
Forkin Good Cafe is a much-needed destination for locals. It's a cafe where Whittierites congregate, and everyone seems to know everyone else. But it's also a bit of a work-in-progress; there are lots of rough edges. Still, overall, the neighborhood vibe transcends the issues — as long as you're patient.At lunch recently, there was one young lady behind the counter. There were six diners at the mismatched tables, some of which wobble on the concrete floor.
Izakaya Akatora brings elegant, delicious Japanese tapas to Alhambra
Restaurateur Michael Cardenas is one of the driving forces behind such iconic Japanese restaurants as Sushi Roku, Katana, Toranoko, Fat Spoon and Sushi Akatora, along with the Lazy Ox, BOA Steakhouse, Rivabella, Taberna Arros y Vi and more. He's a graduate of the Benihana Chef School in New Orleans, which would not seem to have prepared him for the impressive array of upscale eateries he's opened — except that in much the same way that Benihana mixes food with a show,...

POMA is Working for its Members
Let POMA Work for You
No one is doing what POMA is doing when it comes to education and opportunities. POMA reacts quickly to situations and is in tune with the needs of media and industry.

POMA is amazing. The responsiveness to member needs is unheralded among professional organizations. POMA listens to our clients' needs and reacts to them. POMA's commitment to the industry shows at every conference. Our clients can't afford to not be at the conference each year.

Two months after going full time as a writer I joined POMA and attended their convention in Ogden. POMA has helped me make a lot of good contacts, writing and Pro-staff deals. I don't see how you can go wrong by joining. If you want to write part-time, it will make you a better writer. If you want to go full-time, you'll make more contacts. You still have to hustle hard but POMA has been a big blessing for me.

Just a few weeks after the conference, with one project, I was able to generate coverage for six POMA Corporate Partners. And, with the participation of those partners, I was able to write a much more rich and interesting review. Everyone wins, and that demonstrates to me how powerful and beneficial POMA membership is for journalists, manufacturers and organizations.

I have 7 articles publishing this week due to my association with POMA. Not to mention the numerous business opportunities from people that I have met. Just last week a company that I wanted to do some business with automatically jumped on board when he heard that I was a POMA member. I can't even begin to tell you how much business I did just this week due to my POMA connections.

Hobie has been a POMA Corporate Partner since last summer (2009). Quite honestly, when we first joined, I was not sure how it would work out for a fishing-oriented company like Hobie, but thought that it would be worthwhile to try. Have I ever been pleasantly surprised!
For starters, staff is easy to communicate with and is diligent with follow-up. We all know how important that is. POMA listens to its Corporate Partners. The frequent correspondence with members is useful without being frivolous.
When there was an issue with the expense of the conference for things that Hobie and other supporting members would not be taking advantage of, POMA found a way to work with Corporate Partners and restructure the fees so that they worked well for everyone involved.
As important, we really appreciate the fact that your 2010 summer conference will have water access so that we, along with other "water" products, will have the opportunity to showcase our boats in their own environment. No matter how much we say about our product, there is absolutely nothing like actually letting writers try for themselves.
The most important benefit, though, for Hobie has been the quality of writers that belong to the group. We met some of them at last summer's conference, others via email correspondence, and now look forward to meeting even more at the 2010 conference. The bottom line for all Corporate Partners is "ink" and I think that POMA will prove to be a very valuable conduit to help us do this. The responsibility for exciting members about our product, following up etc. is totally on our shoulders, but POMA gives up the platform.
Thanks for your efforts and I look forward to continuing Hobie's involvement.

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate our membership in POMA. I thought you might like to hear a great example of why it is important for companies like mine to support you.
John Phillips has a new book, with a second volume already being worked on, that teaches people How to Hunt Big Bucks on Small Properties. He has realized from our conversations over the years at conferences that MyTopo's private land data, which provides property owner names and boundaries on smart phones and printed maps, goes hand-in-hand with this type of hunting.
Consequently, John is recommending his readers visit www.mytopo.com to get their digital and print private land maps. And, in turn, I am recommending to all MyTopo customers to buy and read his book.
I greatly appreciate the opportunity to come to the conferences and meet writers and get to know them. The ones who are actively writing are great about learning how MyTopo can help them with any mapping needs they have personally or professionally and incorporating us into stories whenever possible.
As I was writing this, John called to set up a taped interview tomorrow for an article he is doing about hunting on public lands! Isn't that awesome?
Thank you for doing all the behind-the-scenes work to bring writers and companies like mine together.

For years I avoided joining the professional writer's organizations in favor of an independent approach to networking and relationship building. That worked well for a while, but then I hit a plateau. During that time I joined several writer's and media organizations.
While every one has contributed to my professional career, POMA has really distinguished itself from the others. The topics and outreach is always current and regular, Money Line is streamlined and timely, and the additional support topics are helpful and appropriate.
POMA is a group that must be run by writers, for their proactive approach in delivering quick and relevant information helps me to fast-track my processes and accomplish more work. Thanks for being a terrific business partner, POMA.

"Qalculate! is a multi-purpose desktop calculator for GNU/Linux (now ported to Mac). It is small and simple to use but with much power and versatility underneath. Features include customizable functions, units, arbitrary precision, plotting, and a user-friendly interface (KDE or GTK+)." (source)
The software has a command-line interface too that you can start with the command "
qalc". You can do all kinds of fancy math calculations with it, but this time I'm interested in currency conversions. Qalc supports it too:
$ qalc You need the download exchange rates to be able to convert between different currencies. You can later get current exchange rates with the "exchange rates" command. Do you want to fetch exchange rates now from the Internet (default yes)? yes > 50000 USD to HUF 50000 * dollar = approx. HUF 12157958 > USD to HUF dollar = approx. HUF 243.15915 >

Reviews For Thorogood Boots 804-6190
This Product:
Thorogood Boots: Unisex Waterproof 804-6190 Composite Toe Boots
This is my first pair of composite toe boots. I wanted a side zipper, waterproof and composite toe and these boots delivered on those features. Yesterday I walked through puddles to test the waterproofing--my socks stayed dry. The insole is super cushioned; if I didn't wear custom orthotics, I'd use them.
Surprisingly, they didn't feel much lighter in weight than my steel-toed boots.
If slip resistance is key for you, you might want to shop around. My work area frequently has super slippery deicing fluid on the ground and our equipment and I had to step very cautiously. Also the toe didn't hold up well on their first introduction to the floor of an aircraft.
Overall, for the money the boots are a good buy. They delivered my key features--I love being able to kick them off without a lot of hassling with laces... and they save me time going through security.
