Gold dropped $30 yesterday, $60 in the past three days, $110 in the past month, and $130 in the past three months…
Before you ask "Hey! What the heck is happening!?"
Let's take a step back and take a look at the big picture…
It seems like just last week we were discussing the future direction for gold.
Wait a second. It WAS last week when we were discussing the future direction to gold! Luckily with that "best time to buy gold" discussion in our back pocket we can frame this week's downward pressure on gold.
If you recall, last week we discussed two scenarios where gold would be a solid buy. First was on the upside: if gold broke above $1,745. With the price of the metal falling precipitously below $1,650 we're much further away from that upside price target.
In the past few days, however, we began approaching our downside "bargain price" target. Take a look at the tail end of the chart below:
"Our other buy price could be on the downside" I wrote to you last week. Here's what we discussed:
"If gold breaks from its recent consolidation to the downside we could see a quick $100 shaved off the price per ounce. If you're a long-term buyer of gold, don't even pay attention to this trading fluctuation. But, if you're looking to buy some bullion, this is your opportunity."
"Looking at the chart we could see a solid opportunity around $1,575. This price target takes in to account gold's past consolidation point. With strong support at $1,550 I'd be a buyer at slightly above that, at $1,575."
"After a quick stint at lower prices gold's fundamentals could kick in, just like we saw in 2008. Over the past 5-years that was the best buying point for gold. It also led to a 150% gain, just in the price of bullion."
Frankly, it's nice to see gold respect its technical chart pattern. If you remember when gold shot up to $1,900 in 2011 – it was clear that the metal had gotten ahead of itself.
What happened back then? The price for gold quickly corrected below $1,600. It made buyers at $1,900 quite upset, too. That's like taking a $300 hit on every American Eagle coin you bought!
It's an explainable trading phenomenon…
The one phrase that always sticks in my head from visits to the Chicago commodity pits, is the saying "gaps get filled." It's something every trader knows well.
We're talking about price gaps. The price of gold can "gap" higher or "gap" lower (a lot of time this happens in day trade, but the same thing can be said for big weekly moves.)
Whether the price shoots up or down with too much gusto — too much gap — "the gap gets filled." That is, if the price of gold gaps from $1,600 all the way to $1,900, without gaining support along the way, prices will drop until support forms. That's what happened in 2011.
Today the same technical forces that controlled the price of gold back then are solidly in control today, too. Indeed, since 2011, gold has followed its technical trend to a tee.
That's why the two price points we listed last week are important. Both points are determined by gold's technical support and resistance.
Getting back to this week's drop in prices, don't get all worked up. The long-term trend for gold is higher. The medium-term trend for gold is also higher. That's why buying at a technically-sound price point is our best advantage to playing this market.
Better still, light holiday trade could make these moves easier to take advantage of. Looking over the past five years, December trading – including the holiday week – has hosted some substantial price moves.
With this week's pullback in mind, I'd be a gold buyer at $1,575. Don't shut your computer down for 2012 yet, my friend. Instead, keep an eye on these lower ranges and if we see prices dip into bargain territory pick up some bullion.
Keep your boots muddy and enjoy your holiday.

You'll be a buyer at $1575. Good luck finding any in local coin and bullion store. Our local store is out of 1 oz. gold and silver. They say that they will have delivery on 15 January. The market price is too low. Otherwise, they'd have no trouble with the providing the product. But none of the local holders of gold and silver coins and bars are bringing in their product at this price. And why should they?
Gold has failed every rally attempt since its high in 2011. Why would anyone think it's a bargain at a point it has already attempted to rally from three times and failed? Gold has attempted to break above 1750 those same three times and failed. Gold might, and I say might be a bargain at 1300.00. When you consider all the positive news for gold, from Germany repatriating its gold, and Western countries continuing to print paper and the stories of China, India and other countries buying massive amounts of gold the price should be through the roof, but it's not. Time to rethink just how good physical gold is as an investment. I would also suggest you try selling an ounce of gold and see how much you can get for it. I'm not speaking of coins, but rather gold mini ingots or other forms. Coins have their own value unlike lump gold. What you'll discover is that the spread between the quoted price of what you pay for gold is considerably less than you can sell it for as I painfully found out. If you want to invest in something that you can exchange try guns and popular ammo.
I think a lot of people have been disappointed with the gold and silver trade recently due to the fact that a lot of these guys who buy in do so because some "guru" talks up the metals with one outrageous forecast after another. Many gold-bulls don't take into account rational factors that can play into downside movements for bullion, such as profit-taking, tax incentives, etc. http://www.contangodown.com/precious-metals/metals-update/
Of all of the 1 quadrillion dollar equivalent Asset-Debt Macroeconomic System's assets' valuations, gold's quantitative fractal evolution denominated in dollars is the System's most elegant. The evolution from Feb-March 2001 is 27/67/50 months ::x/2.5x/nearly 2x with the third 50 month fractal composed of 10/24/18 months with a peak at 16 months.
The last 18 month fractal is composed of 14/34/33 week fractal with the third fractal peak at 28 weeks.
A historically great Asset-Debt (bad debt) Macroeconomic system crash is at hand which has everything to do with the System's natural timing of synchronous bad debt liquidation/default and is true true and unrelated to the US congressionally contrived fiscal cliff.
Gold's valuation denominated in dollars will do (nonlinearly) badly during bad debt liquidation, which currently represents assets supporting gold valuation.
The hegemonic US dollar and US sovereign debt Future's are the Asset Debt system's countervailing growth asset. US debt can and will be repaid.

MECFSForums has closed.
btw some of the supplements could be making things worse for you, maybe try removing them first see what happens. I'm not suspecting any one in particular, though vitD should be first to look at imo.
About 8 months ago, I was prescribed doxycycline for 2 weeks, and after one week I had the worse flare of all my symptoms. It was very scary as I've never been this sick before. Luckily, after several weeks I returned to my regular ME/CFS baseline.
What are the best meds to reduce neuro inflammation?I take loads of supplements: omega 3 oil (with some omega 6 or I get hard as rocks breasts), curcumin, high dose co q 10, glutathione, toconutrinol, teavigo, cats claw, vit D3 ......... and the neuro-inflammation is getting rapidly worse. LDN is at the top of my possible meds list, any other ideas?Thanks !
The COQ10 could also be a culprit if you are into Cheney's heart testing of supplements. I think it helps some people and not others. I don't think I've ever had a problem taking it, but I wouldn't rule it out.
CoQ10 in an hypoxic environment can actually increase oxidative stress. It's another that does not test well on echo and one bit makes me real sick. I'm very sensitive.What does better and tests well on echo is Idebenone, synthetic CoQ10. It got me off my death bed. I had to start very slow. It took me over a year to work up to how much I take now. I get mine at Smart nutrition. One brand Idebenone I tried was cheaper but may as well have been water. Idebenone is far cheaper than CoQ10 and takes way less to do as much antioxidant activity.
I've found the opposite. I do ok with Q10 (although no amazing benefits either). But Idebenone seems to ramp up my energy production and cause a lot of Adrenal stress, leading to a crash.
Garcia, a few ME patients do do well on CoQ10, so one must experiement and be very clued in to their body. I am extremely hypoxic.One thing about Idebenone, I cannot stress how potent it is, and it can cause very strong detox. I had to start on 1/8 cap a day and work up over a year to a reasonable daily dose. I did not tolerate a speck of CoQ10 of any brand, type or form. I knew I needed the support for my mitochondria (heart), and Idebenone saved my life. I am not advocating it for everyone, but it's my experience with it.Other family members are taking it for various things and to a one they cite it as the thing that helped them the most. I won't elaborate, but CoQ10 did nothing for them, but they had improvements on Idebenone. They had conditions that resulted in being hypoxic.

Grid Logic Incorporated of Lapeer is developing a low-cost superconducting wire for electric utility application. Using a new manufacturing technique, it will embed very fine particles into metals to induce superconductivity. This will reduce the cost of transmission lines, motors, wind turbines, and other electric devices. At Michigan Technological University in Houghton research on growing manganese dioxide nanorods may lead to new high performance electric capacitors. By minimizing internal resistance, such material will store more energy, allow extraction of energy more quickly, and operate longer between recharging. University of Michigan labs in Ann Arbor have added silver nanoparticles to increase solar cell efficiency by 8 percent.The nanoparticles also allow for thinner silicon layers, which means lower costs (ten times less silicon used) and flexible substrates for solar panels.

This application is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 08/687115, filed Jul. 18, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,077,421.
This invention pertains to metal removal from liquids.
Trace quantities of metals can promote unwanted oxidative processes in organic systems. While iron, zinc and lead can lead to oxidative degradation of hydrocarbon fuels, copper is believed to comprise the most prevalent and active instability promoters. Freshly refined hydrocarbon fuels generally do not contain any copper although trace amounts of copper can be introduced into the fuels during the copper sweetening process or from the contact of refinery streams with copper lines, brass fittings, admiralty metal, and other copper-bearing alloys. Copper concentrations as low as about 50 ppb are believed to exert a marked effect on fuel stability. In gas-drive fuel coker tests, as little as 15-25 ppb of added copper or iron and 100-250 ppb of added zinc or lead appear to have deleterious effects on fuel thermal stability.
Metal-deactivator additives have been employed as one approach to reduce the catalytic activity of the dissolved metals. These additives are intended to reduce activity of the dissolved metals through formation of chelate complexes which are not intended to be deleterious to fuel stability. The problem with such an approach is that since the chelate complexes are soluble in the fuel, they are introduced into engines where they undergo thermal degradation at high temperature. Thermal degradation of the chelate complexes can lead to the release of catalytically active metals which can result in undesirable deposition on engine surfaces and other undesirable consequences.
An object of this invention is the removal of metals, particularly heavy metals such as copper, from a medium, particularly a liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
Another object of this invention is removal of copper from a hydrocarbon fuel to a level below 20 ppb.
Another object of this invention is removal of a metal from a medium with an immobilized chelant material in a quick and facile fashion.
These and other objects of this invention can be accomplished by contacting a medium containing a metal with an immobilized chelant material which has a chelant attached to a linker and the linker attached to a solid substrate.
Immobilized chelant material and a process for removing at least one metal from a liquid medium using the immobilized chelant material. The immobilized chelant material includes a chelant, a linker and a solid substrate. The linker attaches the chelant to this substrate. Purpose of the substrate is to act as a support to which the linker is attached. Purpose of the linker is to facilitate contact of the chelant with a hydrocarbon medium and as a point of attachment for the chelant. Purpose of the chelant is to chelate soluble metal in the medium.
The substrate is in a solid state and can take the form of a support of any shape or form, including beads. The substrate can be a polymer or a metal oxide such as a ceramic. Examples of polymers include polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polymethylmethacrylate. Examples of ceramics include zirconia, silica and alumina.
The substrate surface can have functional groups thereon to attach linker thereto or it can be devoid of functional groups. Some substrates have functional groups thereon, in which case, the substrate need not be functionalized to provide the functional groups. Examples of substrate materials which have functional groups include silica, polyvinyl chlorides, polystyrene, and polymethylmethacrylate. If the substrate has functional groups thereon, then attachment to the linker is straightforward. For instance, if silica is used as a substrate, then the pendant silanol groups (—Si—OH—) on the silica substrate are used to directly link the silanol groups of the silica substrate to a linker in a known way.
In another example where substrate is functionalized and, therefore, is provided with functional groups is where the substrate is polymethylmethacryate. In this instance, the hydrogen on the carboxylic group of the methylmethacrylate group is used to directly link to the linker in a known way.
In a situation where a substrate is devoid of a group to which a linker can be attached, a linker with functional groups at two locations thereon must be used or the substrate is functionalized to provide a functional group to which a linker can be attached.
The linker is non-polar and is characterized by a saturated hydrocarbon group that contains a minimum of 1 carbon atom and up to a large number of carbon atoms. In a preferred embodiment, the linker contains 1-40 carbon atoms. The linker can be a straight or a branched chain hydrocarbon and the more carbon atoms in the linker, the more likely that it will be a waxy solid. In a preferred embodiment, the linker is a straight chain hydrocarbon.
The longer the hydrocarbon chain on the linker the less soluble it will be in an aqueous medium and the more soluble it will be in a hydrocarbon medium. For extraction of a metal ion from an aqueous medium, the linker chain can be shorter, as short as 1-4 carbon atoms, whereas in a hydrocarbon medium, the linker can have a larger number of carbon atoms.
The linker can have functional groups between ends thereof as long as the groups do not interfere with the function of the immobilized chelant material, particularly the metal chelating property of the chelant itself, and do not adversely affect stability of the medium. Typically, the linker is an unsubstituted straight chain hydrocarbon.
Functional groups can appear on the linker to facilitate attachment of the linker to the substrate. If the substrate is devoid of a functional group, then the linker should contain at least two function groups—one functional group for chemical attachment to the substrate and the second functional group for chemical attachment to the chelant, assuming that the chelant is devoid of a functional group, which is typically the case. If the substrate is devoid of a functional group and the linker has only one functional group, then after attaching itself to the substrate through its sole functional group, the linker will not be able to attach itself to the chelant unless the chelant carries at least one functional group.
Typical functional groups which can be present on the substrate, the linker or the chelant include epoxides, halides, acid chlorides, anhydrides, acetates, nosylates, brosylates and tosylates. Of the halide functional groups, chlorides and bromides are preferred. If there is more than one functional group on the substrate, the linker or the chelant, the functional groups can be same or different, although, typically, they are same.
The substrate and the linker attached thereto are typically commercially available and can be purchased with a functional group attached to the linker. An example of such is agarose epoxide which can be schematically represented as follows:
A represents agarose, i.e., a galoctose polymer responsible for gel strength of agarose;
L represents a linker, i.e, a straight chain hydrocarbon
F represents the epoxide functional group.
Any metal chelant can be used to attach to a linker. Metal chelants are typically polar and, therefore, insoluble in a hydrocarbon medium but soluble in an aqueous medium. The linker can be attached to a substrate or it can be free. The chelant used dictates specificity for chelation for a particular metal or metals. Nitrogen-containing chelants, whether cyclic or acyclic, are preferred for metals, particularly copper. Especially preferred chelants for metals, particularly copper, include the following:
Of the especially preferred chelants, multi-N containing chelants, such as cyclam, appear to be most preferred for copper, although it can chelate other metals at a reduced degree.
Although the chelators as such are used, it is possible to use modified chelants, particularly derivatives or precursors thereof, to achieve same or similar result.
Spent immobilized chelant material can be regenerated by washing it in an acid bath or by treating it with a solution containing high concentration of water-soluble chelator. Whichever regeneration approach is used, the object is to remove the metal from the complexed chelant without damaging the substrate/linker chelant complex.
The method for removing at least one ionic metal from liquid medium is characterized by the step of contacting the immobilized chelant material with a medium containing ionic metal or metals followed by separation of the material and the medium. Duration of the contacting step is typically from 1 second to 24 hours, more typically 2 seconds to 1 hour.
The step of contacting can be carried out in any manner such as stirring the material in the medium, flowing the material and the medium relative to each other, or any other manner which results in ionic metal complexation whereby the chelant reacts with the metal ions and thus attaches to the ionic metal that is soluble in the medium. It is believed that complexation between a chelant and ionic metal takes place in a known manner at ambient temperature on a 1:1 ratio where 1 molecule of a chelant complexes with one molecule of ionic metal. Duration of the contacting step will depend on relative concentration of the metal and the chelant, effectiveness of the chelant, temperature of the medium, type of medium, and other parameters.
A contacting step contemplated herein involves placing immobilized chelant material in a receptacle, such as an elongated tube, and passing the medium therethrough. Typically, duration of the contacting step in such an embodiment will be long enough to attain the desired metal complexation. In a commercial operation, it is desirable to keep duration of the contacting step to a minimum so that complexation can be accomplished on a continuous basis as the liquid medium is conveyed through the immobilized chelant material.
The metals suitable for complexation with the chelants disclosed herein are metals that are not alkali or alkaline-earth metals but metals that have specific gravity exceeding 4 or atomic numbers equal to or greater than 22. The metals contemplated herein include copper, cobalt, mercury, lead, tungsten, zinc, arsenic, silver, uranium, cadmium, and tin. More than one metal can be complexed by the chelants herein. Of particular interest herein is copper due to its catalytic activity in a hydrocarbon medium, such as jet fuel.
Coppper in metallic form, as other metals, does not dissolve in a fuel. In a fuel or a hydrocarbon medium, copper is rendered ionic and while in ionic form, it is complexed with the metal chelators alluded to herein.
The medium suitable herein is aqueous solution or liquid hydrocarbon, such as jet fuel. Typically, the medium is liquid hydrocarbon of up to 40, more typically 6 to 24 carbon atoms. If the medium is a jet fuel, the jet fuel is typically JP-5 or JP-7.
Although jet fuel when made may be devoid of any metal, metal in the jet fuel can accumulate during handling thereof and with respect to copper, jet fuel can contain up to about 1 ppm of copper when it is injected into a jet engine. Since copper facilitates auto oxidation and affects thermal stability of a jet fuel, it is desirable to completely remove it or reduce its concentration to below 20 ppb, particularly below 10 ppb.
The step of separating the immobilized chelant material from is the medium can be accomplished in any practical way. If the material is mixed with the medium, separation can be achieved by filtration since the medium is liquid and the immobilized chelant material is solid or a heavier liquid. In a continuous operation wherein the immobilized chelant material is disposed in a filter-line tube, separation can be effected by conveying the medium through the tube packed with the material.
It is believed that the ionic metal that is removed from a liquid medium is complexed with an original or indigeneous or native chelant to form a complexed metal. When the immobilized chelant disclosed herein is introduced into the medium, the complexed metal ions are attracted to the immobilized chelant because it is stronger than the original chelant. What apparently results is that the metal ions leave the original weaker chelant and become complexed with the stronger immobilized chelant.
Having described the invention, the following examples are given as particular embodiments thereof and to demonstrate the practice and advantages thereof. It is understood that the examples are given by way of illustration and are not intended to limit the specification or the claims in any manner.
This example demonstrates preparation of immobilized chelant material using commercially obtained agarose epoxide and cyclam chelant.
The commercially obtained agarose epoxide contained a straight chain linker of 16 carbons terminated with an epoxide. The agarose epoxide contained 3 mmol of active epoxide per gram. The epoxide functional group on the agarose epoxide was initially broken and then reacted with cyclam.
Agarose is a neutral galactose polymer and was the substrate which had a plurality of linkers attached thereto and molecules of cyclam chelant attached to the linkers. This immobilized chelant material was in the form of a particulate solid.
This example demonstrates the use of immobilized chelant material prepared similarly to Ex. 1 from agarose epoxide and cyclam to remove copper metal ions.
Pursuant to the procedure, 0.1 gram of the agarose immobilized chelant material was stirred for 18 hours with 3.50 grams of dodecane doped with or containing 20 ppm of copper. The dodecane was then removed and filtered through glass wool and 0.45 micron plastic filter. Analysis of the residual copper in dodecane by ICP-graphite furnace indicated 0 ppb copper.
With JP-5 jet fuel containing 20 ppm doped copper in place of the doped dodecane, residual copper was 6 ppb.
This example demonstrates preparation of immobilized chelant material using commercially obtained chloromethylpolystyrene and cyclam.
Chloromethylpolystyrene containing 1 mmol chloride per gram was refluxed with excess diamino-octane in dimethyl formamide yielding aminated polystyrene in a suspension. The suspension was then filtered and washed successively with dimethyl formamide, water, chloroform, ethanol and methanol. The aminated polystyrene separated from the suspension was then stirred for 5 days with excess dibromooctane in dimethyl formamide. This suspension was filtered and the brominated polystyrene was then washed with methanol and stirred (reacted) with 1.5 grams of cyclam in dimethyl formamide. This suspension was then filtered, washed with chloroform and dried yielding a particulate solid product where the polystyrene was the subsrate with a plurality of linkers attached thereto with cyclam attached to the other end of the linkers. The linkers were two 8-carbon straight chains separated by an —NH—group.
This example demonstrates the use of the immobilized chelant material prepared similarly to Ex. 3 from chloromethylpolystyrene and cyclam to remove copper metal ions.
Pursuant to the procedure, 1.0 gram of the immobilized polystyrene chelant material was stirred for 18 hours with 3.50 grams of dodecane containing 20 ppm doped copper. The suspension was then stirred and then filtered through glass wool.
Analysis of the residual copper by ICP-graphite furnace indicated that 18 ppb copper remained.
This example demonstrates preparation of immobilized chelant material using aminopropyltrimethoxy silane and cylam chelant.
One mmol of aminopropyltrimethoxy silane was stirred overnight with 1 mmol of bromohexanoyl chloride in excess pyridine. The resulting solution was then filtered and the filtrate was stirred for 72 hours with 2 mmol of cyclam in chloroform. The resulting solution was then filtered and the residual oil was refluxed with silica in toluene. The silica had weight: weight ratio of silane to silica of 1:9. Toluene was then removed and the residual silica was washed in toluene. The linkers were attached at one end to the silica substrate and at the other end, to cylam molecules. The linkers were aminopropyl groups attached to the substrate at the propyl ends. The immobilized chelant material was in the form of a light syrup.
This example demonstrates the use of the immobilized chelant material prepared similarly to Ex. 5 from aminopropyltrimethoxy silane and cyclam to remove copper metal ions.
Pursuant to the procedure, 0.35 gram of the silica immobilized chelant material was stirred with 5.0 grams of dodecane containing 20 ppm doped copper. Dodecane was then removed and filtered through glass wool and 0.45 micron plastic filter. Analysis of residual copper in the treated dodecane by ICP-graphite furnace indicated 0 ppb copper remained.
With JP-5 jet fuel instead of dodecane, residual copper in the jet fuel was 1 ppb.
This example demonstrates preparation of immobilized chelant material using bromoalcohol with methacryloyl chloride and subsequent polymerization and treatment with cyclam.
One mmole of the bromoacrylate was treated with 1 mole of methacryloyl chloride in pyridine and ether which produced the bromoacrylate. The bromoalcohol used had an 8-carbon straight chain with a hydroxyl group at one end and the acrylate group at the opposite end. The bromoacrylate contained a bromide and acrylate groups separated by the 8-carbon chain. The bromoacrylate was then treated with an 8-fold excess of cyclam which produced the corresponding cyclam acrylate which was polymerized using the AIBN initiator to produce the immobilized chelant material. The immobilized chelant material was in the form of a thick syrup, had polymethymethacrylate substrate, linkers consisting of an 8-carbon straight chain attached at one end to the substrate, and cyclam molecules attached to the other end of the linkers.
This example demonstrates the use of immobilized chelant material prepared similarly to Ex. 7 from 1-bromo, 8-hydroxy octane, methacrloyl chloride and cyclam to remove copper metal ions.
Pursuant to the procedure, 0.8 gram of the acrylate immobilized chelant material was stirred for 18 hours with 5.0 grams of dodecane doped with 20 ppm copper. After removal and filtration, amount of residual copper in dodecane was 8 ppb. Filtration was through glass wool and 0.45 micron plastic filter and analysis of residual copper was by ICP-graphite furnace.
The acrylate polymeric immobilized chelant material removed from the above experiment in amount of 0.8 gram was re-stirred with 5.1 grams of JP-5 jet fuel doped with 20 ppm copper. The jet fuel was then removed and filtered through glass wool and 0.45 micron plastic filter. Analysis for residual copper by ICP-graphite furnace indicated that 9 ppb copper remained in the jet fuel after treatment with the acylate immobilized chelant material.
The error in all of the above residual copper determinations by the use of the ICP-graphite furnace was �5 ppb.
While presently preferred embodiments have been shown of the invention disclosed herein, persons skilled in this art will readily appreciate that various additional changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined and differentiated by the following claims.

MS must be desperate.
So MS phone rep came in and the first thing he does is give me three xbox 360 games and then starts talking about windows phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Re: MS must be desperate.
Microsoft needs to ramp up the marketing on these things big time. I absolutely LOVED my Zune HD - the only reason I don't own it is because what I really needed (and ended up buying) was a car stereo that could play MP3s from USBs. If they phones would have been in the market when I bought my Droid Incredible, I would have seriously considered a W7 phone even with all of the drawbacks. I just love the interface.
That's the thing, though. It's polarizing. It's either you love it or hate it. With the HTC DI, I can take the interface or leave it. It's just "OK".
What games did he give you? Anything good? How are sales of the W7 phones at your store? I imagine fairly dismal. How's the return rate compared to the others?
Sorry for the grilling and I understand if you can't share due to policy.
Re: MS must be desperate.
He gave me, Forza 3, Lego Batman and Pure. The sales of the device aren't bad by a new product standards. MS needs to get more updates out there. They should be taking a year to add multitasking, copy and paste and flash to the device. It should have had those out the gate.
Return rate isn't bad, I have seen more Android devices returned then Windows Phone but we also sell a lot more Android devices. The people who really love them are the smartphone challenged types.
Re: MS must be desperate.
I can't stand Windows Phone 7, but I really liked Windows Mobile when I had it.
I just don't like MS stand on hardware products.
MS routers/switches, when one day they just dump support on all of it
MS Xbox, 360 comes out, old xbox got left behind, not like Sony continued to support PS2 for couple more years
MS Windows Mobile, come out with Windows Phone and MS simply gives a rats as about Windows Mobile, don't support sync any more, won't update software, don't add support for 64bit outlook, nada.
MS Zune, there is a rumor that standalone zune players will abonmoed as well.
only MS product I really use is Windows, its has a huge market share so that won't go away.
Re: MS must be desperate.
Re: MS must be desperate.
My wife managed to lose her iphone while we were coming back from mexico, so I picked up a used windows 7 phone and gave her my iphone.. I've been really liking the windows 7 phone and would hate to go back to the iphone now.
Re: MS must be desperate.
MS should have made one phone themselves. Just like Apple does with the iPhone. The zune HD is by far the coolest and most well made small gadget I owned the past 2 years.
It would have been so much easier for them as well. The deal with nokia will take to long, and I wanted a wm7 phone. Its just put them behind that much further, but I am willing to bet there will be some very strong feature rich consumer, and corporate phones coming out sometime in the next year.
How is the app market for windows? I know every app I use only has iphone and android.
Re: MS must be desperate.
It may get that way with Nokia as the defacto handset maker, and the market is quite application packed.. however admittedly, I typically only get the free apps.

Building a budget system..
I know this isn't really the best forum for this, but it's the only computer forum I spend any time on. So maybe someone will have some input on this. I am going to build a budget system for my fiancee's niece. I am very experienced in working on computers, but I am a little behind on the current PC technology and I'm hoping to get some opinions on hardware.
Here is what I have so far:
ASUS P5QL PRO LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Pentium E2180 Allendale 2.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB 192-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
Also 2 gigs of RAM, a 320 Gb HDD, and all the other hardware I have already, including an ATX case.
She plays The Sims 2 with all the expansion packs and wants to be able to run it smoothly at high resolution, and also be able to run The Sims 3 when it is released. I think this will be more than capable. What do you think?
Should be a great system for what you're looking at.
If you're paying $170 for the video card- it might be over kill for those games.
I'd probably consider a 512MB card and spend the extra $50 on a better processor myself.
Sheesh, and I remember paying close to $400 on a 32MB video card and again on a 64 ... well, nevermind.
sims3.info - The Sims 3 Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
It says to have a Core 2 Duo proc at 2.0 gigs, at least. I'm sure the Allendale chip would do just fine, but if you could spare the extra cash I'd beef up the ram to 4gigs, and try to get a C2D processor. Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale 2.53GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
This is a decent processor for a decent price. It's roughly twice as much as the Allendale Core Duo, but that's not saying too much since the chip was already very cheap to begin with.
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
Here's a good pair of 4 gig ram sticks for about 50 bucks.
Actually the video card is only $77. The entire system is only $332.
Oh yeah, how powerful of a PSU am I going to need for this? The case I have has a 400W PSU in it, I am not sure if that will be enough..
You should have at the LEAST a 600W, but I would go with a 700W PS. Newer video cards are HUNGRY. And do by all means, dump that CPU and get a C2D Intel. The core duos are nice. But if you are building a new computer, use the current gen CPU, the C2D. The performance boost will be considerable.
When I looked into building my own budget system I found that for budget systems it's actually cheaper to buy a Dell or something than to build yourself. But the upside to building your own is your components are typically warrantied longer than a built system and hopefully a little more reliable.
Psh, you don't need a 700W.
I have an 8600 and it runs fine on my 450W. The only difference between the 8600 and the 9600 is that the 9600 actually is better on power consumption.
I would stick with your current PSU and only upgrade if it doesn't work, which i think it will.
I have built, fixed and managed PCs for around 20 years and I build just about every high end gaming rig that this county sees. So while you may or may not agree with me, I do know what I am talking about :) You really SHOULD have a bigger power supply. You gear will run better, longer and safer.
My roommate has run either an 8800 or a 9800 with the same processor I have on a 500W for over a year...

Syracuse is a great college team. But I was pleasantly surprised to us in the top 25 for NBA alums. It's awesome how well this team does with such little NBA talent. This past season is the most stacked 'Cuse has been in a very long time as far as NBA talent goes, and I'm talking about Dion, Fab and MCW here. Scoop, Kris and Triche will probably end up overseas.
Anybody that grades this team's performance this season as less than A is completely insane. You will never see an Orange season as great as this past season. Everything came together for that squad and it was fun to watch. I gave Dion the MVP because we was clearly the only pro talent on that team, and won a handful of games for them when nobody else showed up.
Boeheim was correct when he said this team would go as far as the seniors would take them. Against OSU with about 3 minutes left, Scoop and Kris turned the ball over 3 possessions in a row, game over. SU was the better team, but that's the way the tournament goes. Too bad they didn't get a crack at Kentucky.
What a great year. I loved every second of it! Go Orange!!!
This isn't the end of the world here. Let's not forget this team went 2-1 without Fab this year, beating two tournament teams, one on the road.
I feel like it also takes some pressure off the team with lowered expectations. They played stiff in New York. Maybe Fab being out will loosen them up a little and have them playing like they did in November/December.
February 18, 2010 'Cuse nation took over the Verizon Center. The entire 3rd tier was orange and "Let's go Orange" chants drowned out the "hoya suxa" chants. It was awesome. That was especially sweet considering it was the first time Syracuse won in DC since I moved down here.
This is what happens when you lose games.
I am impressed though that these recruits are being offered scholarships by schools like Penn State and Missouri. It speaks volumes about the recruiting now as opposed to the past 12 years or so...
I love your recaps. Good stuff. I just want to mention that I had a chance to go to the Marquette game. I moved away from Syracuse and it's the 1st basketball game I've been to since '05. There was such a difference in fan participation from many seasons in the past. It was truly loud and raucous, like a home crowd should be. It was a blast.
I would like to refer to your (inexplicable) hatred of the wave here. If the wave helps fans stay in the game during a time out, I'm all for it, and you should be too. Buzz called a time out to quiet the place. The wave kept us all cheering through the TO and it was still nice and loud after the TO.
Stop wave-hating. It's good for the atmosphere...
It's OK for people in certain positions to not use or understand social media even if they lead groups of people that do use it. Sports coaches are one of those positions. There is absolutely no need to understand Twitter in order to coach a basketball/football/soccer, etc... team. The players do not use social media on the court. So Boeheim is in the clear if you ask me.
Did Axe write any recaps for the NC State game? I haven't seen them on the blog.
The 'Cuse offense will not show again. Despite what coach P says publicly, he wants this bad. UConn will smash the ball down our throats in a low scoring affair. UConn 17, 'Cuse 13
Why aren't any new SU BB stories showing up on the SU BB page. I had to get to this from the front page. Is there a recap of last night's exhibition game besides the Axepress?
That's rich. A WV lecturing 'Cuse fans. At least they didn't throw oranges or chant racist insults at the 'eers. Wait, no, that's what happens to "Cuse players in Morgantown...
That's the longest sunny you've ever written. Love it! You forgot to mention my favorite stat of the game; Krautman, 7 points (0 field goals)...
Where's Axe's recaps?
What video has Justin Francis been watching? Nassib throws more out of the pocket than he does in the pocket because the line fails to protect him. And he does just fine outside the pocket. Go ahead, run him out of the pocket and see how he throws on the run...
It's really simple, NCAA rules "By rule, once the game is declared over the score is final and there is no recourse to reverse an outcome."
Are you suggesting that the Orange break the rules established to insure the integrity of the sport? Because that would be the low road.
Maybe they should forfeit the pinstripe bowl win also, because of a questionable official call? Seriously people move on. It's over and done with...
Looking forward to seeing Mike Rosario on another poster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHY4vduNoRo
I completely agree with Joe. The number of times when I feel like I'm the only person making noise on a 3rd down, or defensive stand is uncountable. Not to mention the uncountable number of times I've been asked to sit down in a tight game. The dome does get rocking, but only when the Orange are winning. It's pretty bizarre behavior for fans. But it is what is. It certainly doesn't help when students are placed far from the court for basketball, or the venue won't play a staple sports anthem like "Rock 'n Roll Pt. 2". It's an all around effort to quiet the loud house. Just plain bizarre...
i would say pounding a pretty legit notre dame team showed what this team could do when all systems were go. that was their best game of the year. but i'm hard pressed to recall top moments. maybe scoop hitting 2 3's in the final seconds to get us into overtime in the BE tournament? cj had some nice dunks this year. maybe that one game kris jo showed up for? what game was that? providence?
OK, enough Scoop bashing. When was the last time a Syracuse player led the Big East in assists? Wasn't Johnny Flynn, whose Assist/Turnover ration was 2.0 his last year, to Scoop's 2.1 (that means Scoop's is better). Wasn't Andy Rautins (1.7), Devo, Wright, McNamara (1.77). I'm tired of looking at past records. Scoop is the best guard Syracuse has had in while. I'm very excited he's coming back next year. It's going to be great!
Ha! You cannot possibly use the adjective "terrible" to describe the season's Big East assist leader. Get a clue. This dude is fun to watch. I can't wait until next year!!!

Perfect Love
Perfect love carries an impersonal touch,
like silent buddahs on lotus blossoms,
waiting for suffering to breathe a final, quiet sigh.
Like ice on distant mountains,
waiting to nourish the world below.
Like a Mother hawk, hunting high,
in a cloudless sky.
A love so unearthly blind and beautiful,
That it makes no distinction between caressing mother and child,
or a perfect stranger.

Mr. Senna's helmet.
I think that if Hamilton does move, he'll go to Red Bull. I'm not really sure if he would, though, because he's been with McLaren since he was 13 or so. I'm not certain that Red Bull would let either of their drivers go at this point. I know that Vettel is staying, and Webber says that he will favor Red Bull when he makes his decision, so it'll be on the team's shoulders to decide if they would rather not have Webber, who is having a brilliant season, IMO.

Apple says it won't shut down Beats Music, but may revamp it instead
Apple reportedly won't shut down the Beats Music online streaming service, despite only having around 250,000 paid subscribers. Earlier reports indicated Apple would simply shutter Beats Music, the online music streaming service it acquired alongside the popular Beats speaker, earbud and headphone manufacturer. Apple ultimately paid $3 billion to purchase the company founded by rap mogul Dr. Dre and music industry veteran Jimmy Iovine.
If true, it will be curious to see how Apple decides to change the service, as Spotify currently has 30 million free users and 10 million paid subscribers. It's possible Beats Music and iTunes Radio could be merged together, instead of the company trying to run both services together.
If the Beats Music brand is to survive longer, it's surprising there was nothing related to the Beats app being pre-installed with the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.

SMS Audio brings Intel heart rate tech to earbuds
If you have ever worked out using a chest strap to track your heart rate, you know how uncomfortable that can be. During CES 2014, Intel rolled out tech that would allow firms to build earbuds that have heart rate tracking tech inside. Those earbuds are now a reality thanks to SMS Audio with a set of earbuds called BioSport.
The earbuds have an optical biometric sensor that is able to collect data and share it with apps like RunKeeper. BioSport earbuds are IPX4 certified to survive sweat and water. SMS designed the earbuds with a hook shape to keep them inside your ear with exertion.
They connect with any device that has a 3.5mm headphone port and get power needed for the sensor from that port as well. The cord is tangle free and the headphones have in-line controls. Pricing for the earbuds is unknown at this time and they will hit stores in Q4.
Bose files a patent infringement lawsuit against Beats
Sound system and headphone manufacturer Bose has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Beats Electronics relating to noise-cancellation technology. According to Bose, Beats infringed upon five of its patents on purpose, and made a claim that the company is now incurring losses in sales as a result.
Bose also filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission in the hopes that they can stop Beats from selling their headphones in the United States. According to the company, Beats which was acquired by Apple for $3 billion, is using the infringed technology patent in its Studio and Studio Wireless lineups. Bose mentioned that its active noise reduction technology was originally designed for the military during the 1980s and later was designed for consumers in 2000.
Beats didn't comment on the issue, but Bose's representatives said that they are committed to protecting its investment, customers and also to defend its patent. The lawsuit is filed in US District Court of Delaware.

Apple finally confirms Beats acquisition for $3 billion
Apple has finally confirmed it will purchase the popular Beats Electronics brand, which specializes in headphones, earbuds, and an online music service. Rapper Dr. Dre and music industry veteran Jimmy Iovine will join Apple working under Eddy Cue, head of Apple's Internet services.
The deal was originally expected to close at $3.2 billion, though will be slightly cheaper than originally expected. Apple will pay $2.6 billion cash and offer $400 million in stock, with deal approval expected later in 2014. However, Apple officials were reportedly angry when a drunken Dr. Dre, out celebrating the deal, boasted about becoming "the first billionaire in hip-hop," which is one of the reasons it took so long for acquisition confirmation.
Meanwhile, iTunes will operate alongside the Beats Music offering, with Apple pledging to operate both services independently.
Apple reportedly close to acquiring Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion
Apple is reportedly interested in purchasing Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion, and a deal could be publicly announced in just a few days, according to the Financial Times. Beats products are available in Apple stores, though the two companies reportedly didn't have a close working relationship.
Originally founded by rapper Dr. Dre and music producer Jimmy Lovine, Beats has focused on audio products, such as earbuds, headphones and speakers - and has its own Beats Music streaming service. Beats was reportedly valued at $1 billion after receiving a $500 million investment, though Apple wants to capture the popularity of the Beats brand.
"This is really puzzling," said James McQuivey, Forrester Research analyst, after hearing about the potential buyout. "You buy companies today to get technologies that no one else or customers that no one has. They must have something hidden under the hood."

The following is copied from "http://www.answering-islam.org/Muhammad /pictures.html." While this gentleman has been slightly inflammatory in his conclusive remarks, he presents some accurate facts. Peace be unto you. Are Pictures of Muhammad Really Forbidden In Islam? While some Muslims were outraged by a magazine printing cartoon pictures of Muhammad, we have to step back and calmly ask, are pictures of Muhammad really forbidden in Islam? – the answer might surprise you. Numerous passages in the Qur'an prohibit idolatry, and worshipping statues or pictures, but there is not even single verse in the Qur'an that explicitly or implicitly says not to have any pictures of Muhammad. This bears repeating: There is not a single verse in the Qur'an that prohibits making or having pictures of Muhammad or people or animals or trees. In fact, there are some verses in the Qur'an which mention images in a positive context and which therefore presuppose that some statues or images were approved by God, see the article Muhammad and Images. However, the vast majority of Muslims are Sunni Muslims, who regard six authorized collections of hadiths as the highest written authority in Islam after the Qur'an. The hadiths are records, often very detailed, of what Muhammad taught and did. We give multiple quotations to show that these teachings are not confined to just one writer/collector, but are spread throughout the different hadith collections. Where multiple trustworthy hadiths agree, Sunni Muslims will take this as binding. In other words, people today are kicked out of Islam, or even killed based on the hadiths. Pictures of Muhammad are "not exactly" forbidden in the hadiths either. The hadiths do not single out Muhammad's picture. Rather, in the hadith we find the prohibition of all pictures of people or animals, which would include pictures from a camera. For example, Sahih Muslim vol.3 no.5268 (p.1160) says, "Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: Those who paint pictures would be punished on the Day of Resurrection and it would be said to them: Breathe soul into what you have created.2519" Notice that the prohibition was not just against idolators who made pictures, or even Muslims who made pictures for other reasons, but for anyone who made pictures. Sahih Muslim vol.3 no.5271 (p.1161) gives a little more detail: "This hadith has been reported on the authority of Abu Mu'awiya though another chain of transmitters (and the words are): 'Verily the most grievously tormented people amongst the denizens [inhabitants] of Hell on the Day of Resurrection would be the painters of pictures.2520..." "Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, 'The painter of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, Make alive what you have created.'" Bukhari vol.9 book 93 no.646 p.487. no.647 p.487 is the same except it is narrated by Ibn 'Umar. No pictures of people or animals according to Bukhari vol.4 book 54 no.447-450 p.297-299. Conclusion: It is clear that the hadiths prohibit pictures of animals or people, especially in homes. There is no focus on pictures of Muhammad per se. All pictures of people and animals are forbidden. It is a completely general prohibition. What Do These Hadiths Mean? Footnote 2519 (p.1160) says, "The ahadith pertaining to the preparation of pictures whether with the help of colour, paint, or pencil or photographic cameras, declare this art to be unlawful in Islam. The famous scholar of Hadith and an eminent jurist of the seventh century of Hijra, Ibn Daqiq al-Id, has made the following observation in regard to this art: 'The reasons of the Shari'ah are so eloquent and clear in regard to the prohibition of making pictures that they need no comment and elucidation. That person is missing the mark who says that this prohibition comes under the category of disapproval and is not absolutely unlawful and the stress which had been laid upon its prohibition was not because of the fact that idolatry had been quite recently curbed, ... in the ahadith the reason put forward for the unlawfulness of pictures is this: Those who prepare pictures would be asked to breathe soul on the Day of Resurrection in these pictures made by them. And then they would not be able to do this, they would be punished ... (Ihham al-Ahham, Sharh 'Umdat al-Ahham, Vol II, pp 171-2)." The footnote goes on to give a lengthy discussion as to why all pictures are forbidden, but we will not quote those for the sake of space. What about Muslims in more modern times? Footnote 2520 (p.1161) says, "A well-known scholar of our times 'Allama Muhammad Munir (of Damascus) has clearly stated that the photos of the modern age fall under the category of pictures. He says: 'The words of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) that every maker of the photo would be tormented on the Day of Resurrection, include every artist whether he makes pictures with the help of his hand (with pencil or with the help of colour paint) or with the help of camera." (marginal notes on the book Ihham al-Ahham, Sharh 'Umdat al-Ahham. Vol. II, p.37). Conclusion: "No pictures" includes no photos (still or moving). "No pictures" might reduce idolatry, but the reason given is not that, but that Allah will torment all who have made pictures. Observation: It is clear that making pictures is a horrible sin in Islam. There are dozens of narrations that emphasize and reiterate this point. However, it is always said that Allah will punish those people on the Day of Judgment. There is no command for Muslims to go out now and punish those painters themselves. This is particularly relevant since Muhammad was not shy in this regard. He ordered severe punishments, and at times even commanded torture, of many people who in his opinion had broken the law of Allah (c.f. this summary article for issues like whipping people who drink alcohol or gamble, cutting off the hands of thieves, etc., and this one for the issue of torture). Despite condemning the making of pictures as an especially grieveous sin, Muhammad does not prescribe earthly punishments for those who do. Any Counter-Examples? That is always a good question to ask when looking at the hadiths. Yes, there are two types of counter-examples, counter-example does not necessarily mean contradiction with what the rest of the hadiths say. Rather one is a qualification, and the other counter-example is "an exception that proves the rule." Counter-example 1: Dolls, pictures of non-living things, and even some churches are OK Dolls: A'ishah ['Aisha/A'isha] played with dolls when she was with other girls. When Muhammad came in, the other girls went out, and when Muhammad went out, they came back in. Sunan Abu Dawud vol.3 chapter 1769 no.4913 p.1373 Footnote 4288 on this verse says, "This tradition show that playing with dolls by children is permissible. The dolls used as toys for children are not prohibited. They do not fall under the category of pictures of animate objects that are prohibited. But these dolls should be meant only for children." 'Aisha and Muhammad married when she was seven years old, and 'Aisha was "taken to his house as a bride when she was nine and her dolls were with her;" Sahih Muslim vol.2 book 8 ch. 551 no.3311 p.716 'Aisha played with dolls while her husband Muhammad was with her. Sahih Muslim vol.4 book 29 ch.1005 no.5981 p.1299. One was a horse with wings. Sunan Abu Dawud chapter 1769 no.4914 p.1373. Bukhari vol.8 book 73 no.151 p.95 says something very similar. On the other hand, the English translator of Bukhari (Muhammad Muhsin Khan) has a different opinion. The parenthesis below this narration says, "(The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha, at that time as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty. Fateh-Al-Bari Page 143 Vol.13)." However, the parentheses are not in the Arabic. Inanimate patterns: A'isha had a curtain with pictures. Muhammad told her to remove the picture, so she cut it in pieces and made pillows out of it, according to Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 chapter 454 no.764 p.471 A young girl from Ethiopia with a patterned dress made Muhammad happy. "214 Narrated Um Khalid bint Khalid: When I came from Ethiopia (to Medina), I was a young girl. Allah's Apostle made me wear a sheet having marks on it. Allah's Apostle was rubbing those marks with his hands saying, "Sanah! Sanah!" (i.e. good, good)." Bukhari vol.5 book 58 no.214 p.137 Churches: It might surprise some to hear that the hadiths are not against going to church, as long as there are no pictures. "(54) CHAPTER. To pray in a church or in a temple etc. 'Umar said, 'We do not enter your churches because of the statues and pictures.' Ibn 'Abbas used to pray in the church provided there were no statues in it." Bukhari vol.1 chapter 54 p.254 Counter-example 2: What happens if there are pictures in a Muslim house? Angels do not enter a house with a dog or a picture Sahih Muslim vol.3 book 22 no.5246-5252 p.1157-1158 as well as Ibn-i-Majah vol.5 book 32 no.3649-3652 p.108-109 Angels do not enter a house where there is a picture or a dog or a junubi (Someone who is unclean because of sex). Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 no.264 p.240 also Sunan Abu Dawud vol.1 book 1 no.227 p.55-56 Narrated 'Aisha, the mother of the faithful believers: I bought a cushion with pictures on it. When Allah's Apostle saw it, he kept standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed the sign of disgust on his face, so I said, "O Allah's Apostle (Please let me know) what sin I have done." Allah's Apostle said, "What about this cushion?" I replied, "I bought it for you to sit and recline on." Allah's Apostle said, "The painters (i.e. owners) of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them, 'Put life in what you have created (.i.e. painted).'" The Prophet added, "The angels do not enter a house where there are pictures." Bukhari vol.3 book 34 no.318 p.180 No pictures, even of animals. "Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet entered upon me while there was a curtain having pictures (of animals) in the house. His face got red with anger, and then he got hold of the curtain and tore it into pieces. The Prophet said, 'Such people as paint these pictures will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection.'" Bukhari vol.8 book 73 no.130 p.83-84 Muhammad went to Fatimah's house, but turned back when he saw a figured curtain. Sunan Abu Dawud vol.3 book 21 no.3746 p.1060 When 'Ali [Fatima's husband] invited Muhammad over for food, Muhammad saw in the house pictures and then went back home. Ibn-i-Majah vol.4 book 29 no.3359 p.481 Conclusion: Although these hadiths do not threaten eternal punishment for those who merely own pictures — it is always only the makers of the pictures that are cursed and condemned —, Muhammad's very clear disapproval of having them in the house, and his example of destroying any picture in his own home, would be enough for any faithful Muslim to follow his example. A good Sharia Muslim would have no picture of people or animals, except perhaps dolls for children. Observation: Apart from the destruction of idols (e.g. in the Kaaba) it seems that Muhammad did neither order the punishment of painters, nor the destruction of other privately owned images. There are dozens of hadiths like the above. We have not found any that give a clear command to destroy pictures in general. Summary: In the most authoritative sources of Islam, there is no particular emphasis on forbidding pictures of prophets, or the person of Muhammad in particular. It is clear that Muslims should not make pictures of Muhammad but only as an application of the general prohibition against making pictures of people or animals. ////break//// Sharia Law, Pictures, and the Hypocrites Moderate Muslims have no problem with pictures, as long as they are not used in idolatry. But for Sharia Muslims, are you criticizing what non-Muslims do based on the hadiths, when you as a Muslim break these same hadiths? If you have been a Muslim hypocrite, but do not want to be anymore, I am ready to help. I will be happy to go over to your house, and help you destroy all of your books and newspapers that have photographs of people or animals in them, and break your TV, VCR, and video camera. When can I come over? ;-) So if a conservative Muslim tries to tell you that Sharia Law should be practiced today, or is outraged over a picture, ask them if they have a TV. If following the hadiths does not work for them, they are a hypocrite to demand from others to follow it. Now God does not want us to be hypocrites. If you teach other people to follow something, then you should try to follow it yourself. But if you do not think you should follow something, such as Sharia, then do not tell others that they should follow it. If you wish to discuss this, or have any comments, suggestions, or corrections, please contact me at email@example.com. Summary: The points of this article are very simple: * Contrary to what most Muslims think, no pictures of people or animals are allowed. * If you would consistently follow Sharia Law in the hadiths, then get rid of all your pictures. * If not, don't advocate Sharia Law. Furthermore, this article was written as background information for gaining a better understanding in regard to the controversy about the Muhammad Cartoons. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims have been protesting, and thousands of Muslims became violent, attacking and destroying embassies of Denmark and other countries, issuing death threats, etc. The above discussion shows that the prohibition of pictures cannot be the reason. What then is really going on here? What is the reason for thousands of Muslims to go on a rampage?

Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and other so-called "Muslim" terrorist organizations are heretics to their professed religion. They are blasphemers of Allah and mock the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by associating their deeds of evil with the Muslim faith. Allah will punish them them in the day of judgment. My apologies to all those who suffer at their hands: Islam disowns them. Peace be unto you.
