The Obagi Elastiderm line of products is a unique treatment clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes by restoring elastin and collagen to the periorbital skin around the eyes. These two proteins are crucial to keeping the skin in this area smooth, flexible, firm and wrinkle-free.
As you age, simple factors such as sun, pollution and stress, contribute to the degeneration of your cell turnover rate, causing newer cells to take longer to reach your skin's surface. The Obagi Nu Derm Skin Care System addresses this issue by including ingredients that increase the speed by which fresher cells are pushed to the skin's surface, reduce freckles and age spots, promote cellular uniformity for an even tone, and increase nutrients for healthy-looking skin.
Obagi C-Cleansing Gel prepares and conditions skin to optimize penetration of Vitamin C and enhances skin clarity.

DENVER–Former President Bill Clinton stepped in Tuesday to defend his wife over her recent comments about her family's wealth, saying Hillary Clinton is not "out of touch" with everyday Americans.
Speaking at a Clinton Global Initiative event here, Mr. Clinton said that throughout her life she has worked to help create opportunities and ease burdens faced by people who aren't well off.

He cited work she has done dating back to her Yale Law School days to provide legal assistance for poor people and ensure that pregnant mothers receive paid leave.
In an interview conducted by NBC "Meet the Press" moderator David Gregory, Mr. Clinton described her as the "most gifted public servant I've ever worked with."
Mrs. Clinton, a likely presidential candidate in 2016, has struggled in talking about the millions of dollars she and her husband have earned since leaving the White House in 2001.
In a recent interview with the Guardian newspaper, she drew a distinction between her family, which pays ordinary taxes, and those who are "truly well off" who don't. In the interview, she said her family's wealth has come about "by dint of hard work."
Mr. Clinton defended his wife's comments, saying it is "factually true that we were several million dollars in debt" when they left the White House. "Everybody now assumes that what happened in the intervening years was automatic; I'm shocked that it's happened. I'm shocked that people still want me to come give talks. And so I'm grateful."
Mr. Clinton has earned tens of millions of dollars in speaking fees in his post-presidential life. After leaving the State Department last year, Mrs. Clinton, too, has joined the paid speaking circuit, earning as much as $200,000 per speech.
Earlier in the month, Mrs. Clinton told ABC News that when they left the White House her family was "dead broke" — a phrase that drew criticism due to the earning potential they enjoyed as public figures who commanded speaking fees and large advances for books.
The CGI events on Tuesday kept a sharp focus on the causes of inequality in America, providing a forum for the Clintons to shift the conversation to prescriptions for raising people out of poverty.
"I don't think most Americans resent somebody else doing well," Mr. Clinton said. They resent that they're not getting a fair deal."

Hundreds of families' memories 'just burned' by Colorado wildfires
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- After waiting for two days, Rebekah and Byron Largent learned from lists distributed by authorities that their home was among the hundreds that burned to the ground in the most destructive wildfire ever to rage across Colorado.
It was especially hurtful as their house was destroyed on their daughter Emma's first birthday.
"Our minds just started sifting through all the memories of that house that we lost that can't be replaced," Rebekah Largent said Thursday night. She remembered her wedding dress, a grandmother's china, the rocking chair where the couple would sit with Emma.
"Our little girl, our 1-year-old daughter, that's the house that she's lived in the longest. It's just really hard to have lost a lot of the memories connected to that, you know? They just burned," she said.
Officials said the Waldo Canyon fire that forced tens of thousands to flee this city 60 miles south of Denver destroyed an estimated 346 homes and left at least one person dead.
Police Chief Pete Carey said the remains of one person were found in a home where two people had been reported missing. Neither the victim nor the missing person has been identified.
Carey said police are still trying to track down the whereabouts of "less than 10" people who may be unaccounted for.
President Barack Obama was to tour fire-stricken areas Friday after issuing a disaster declaration for Colorado, releasing federal funds to help.
Rich Harvey, the incident commander in charge of the massive firefighting effort, said the fire was held at bay overnight, with no growth of the perimeter and no more houses lost.
The fire was 15 percent contained Friday morning.
Jerri Marr, supervisor of the Pike and San Isabel national forests where the blaze started, said favorable weather was a boon to firefighters Thursday.
"Yesterday we had great weather," she said. "Looks like we're going to have that same weather today."
A fire in northern Colorado, which is still burning, destroyed 257 homes earlier this month and until Thursday was the state's most destructive.
From above Colorado Springs, the destruction was painfully clear: Rows and rows of houses were reduced to smoldering ashes even as some homes just feet away survived largely intact.
When he first saw the aerial photos of the homes burned in his neighborhood, Ryan Schneider recognized immediately that his house had been spared.
But relief quickly turned to sadness for his many friends and neighbors who hadn't been so lucky.
"I mean, there's a lifetime of things that people collect in these homes, and they've lost it all," said Schneider, vice president of the 1,700-home community association for the Mountain Shadows neighborhood.
Amid the devastation in the foothills of Colorado Springs, there were hopeful signs. Weather conditions improved Thursday and some evacuation orders were lifted by the evening, though there was no immediate word on how many people would be allowed back. People were told to still be ready to flee at a moment's notice.
The Air Force Academy was letting residents return Friday morning and officials said normal operations would resume throughout most of the academy.
"We're gaining more confidence," said Bret Waters, director of the Colorado Springs emergency management office. "It doesn't mean we're out of the woods."
More than 30,000 people frantically packed up belongings Tuesday night as the flames swept through their neighborhoods.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation said two people have been arrested in connection with a burglary at an evacuated home.
Community officials began the process of notifying residents Thursday that their homes were destroyed. The lists of more than 30 street names were posted at a local high school, listing those areas with heavy damage. Anxious residents scanned the sheets, but for many, the official notification was a formality. They recognized their street on aerial pictures and carefully scrutinize the images to determine the damage. Photos and video from The Associated Press and the Denver Post showed widespread damage.
Colorado Springs, the state's second-largest city, is home to the U.S. Olympic Training Center, NORAD and the Air Force Space Command, which operates military satellites. They were not threatened.
Conditions were still too dicey to allow authorities to begin trying to figure out what sparked the blaze that has raged for much of the week and already burned more than 26 square miles.
Authorities said earlier the fire was 29 square miles. More precise mapping often results in revisions of size estimates for active fires.
More than 1,000 personnel and six helicopters were fighting the fire, which had cost at least $3.2 million to fight.
All eight Air Force cargo planes equipped to fight wildfires will be operating Saturday out of Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, the Air Force said.
This will be the first time the entire fleet has been activated simultaneously since 2008, Col. Jerry Champlin said.
Four of the planes are already attacking Colorado wildfires from Peterson. Late Thursday, U.S. Northern Command approved a Forest Service request to activate the other four.
The C-130s are assigned to National Guard and Reserve units in California, Colorado, North Carolina and Wyoming.
Hundreds of people sought refuge at area shelters operated by the Red Cross, including tourists who'd come to enjoy the Colorado summer.
Preston Harrington, 40, of Lake Charles, La., had been hoping to climb nearby Pikes Peak.
He had been at a Manitou Springs motel when he was evacuated early Sunday, and then moved to a shelter at a high school and was living out of a suitcase
"No drawer, nothing to put this stuff in, it wears on you," Harrington said.
Schneider, the local neighborhood leader, said the enormity of the losses would take a while to sink in.
"There's a lot of tears being shed out there, it's tough," he said.
Among the fires elsewhere in the West:
• A 72-square-mile wildfire in central Utah has destroyed at least 56 structures and continues to burn with just 20 percent containment, authorities said. Officials expected the damage estimate to rise as they continue their assessment.
• The smaller fire near St. George, Utah, started Wednesday and had grown to 2,000 acres by midnight, forcing some residents to evacuate. The fire, which was 60 percent contained Friday, was burning about three miles north of Zion National Park. At least eight structures were destroyed.
• Fire crews in southeastern Montana used a break in the weather to dig containment lines around two wildfires that have burned 200 square miles and dozens of homes. The improved conditions led to residents clamoring to be let back in to check their properties and assess the damage, but authorities kept evacuation orders in place for hundreds of people.
• A Wyoming wildfire in the Bridger-Teton National Forest has grown from to nearly 36 square miles, officials said.
• In northern Colorado, about 1,900 people were allowed back into their homes on Thursday more than two weeks after the devastating High Park Fire erupted. The blaze was 85 percent contained. The fire killed one woman and destroyed 257 homes, then a state record that was be eclipsed by the Colorado Springs fire.
• A wildfire gaining steam in western Colorado prompted officials to evacuate homes of about 50 residents in the southern part of De Beque as the 15-square-mile blaze threatened to cross Interstate 70 Thursday night. A 13-mile stretch of the highway was closed overnight but one lane in each direction reopened on Friday.

It's more bitter than sweet right now for the Sheboygan South girls soccer team. But Thursday's a 2-1 heartbreaking loss to powerhouse De Pere in a WIAA Division 1 sectional semifinal was more than just a season-ender for the Redwings.
It was a self-recognition that they are a program that can be reckoned with, now and in the future.
For the opening 20 minutes, the Redwings got handled. For the final hour, though, South proved it could not only hang with the Redbirds, but outplay them. ...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II picks up precisely where the last one left off, leaving nothing but one spectacular payoff after another.
I'll be the first to confess, I missed the boat on this whole phenomenon.
Call me a Muggle, or just call me an old fart. But I have been told time and again that the considerable pleasures of J.K. Rowling's seven-part book series escaped me, and thus was left to dread one more-often-than-not lackluster big-screen adaptation after another, arriving like clockwork at the end of nearly every fiscal year. (Find anybody who will tell you these movies are even half as good as the novels they were based upon, and I will give you $1,000.)
So please save the vitriolic emails and hateful comments. We've had quite more than enough of those over these past 10 years.
The series began quite ignominiously, suffused in golden-brown hues and tinkly John Williams music, with cutesy-pooh Director Christopher Columbus at the helm. But much as J. Ro's books deepened over time, so did these pictures, eventually calling upon journeyman British TV Director David Yates to handle the complex mythology, as well as die-hard fans' insistence that no scene ever get left behind.
Yates also darkened both the pictures' color palate and thematic heft. So much so that the last two movies, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I felt like grim, monumental exposition dumps. Joyless exercises both, they're stopgap water-treading, dilly-dallying around backstory and a whole lot of wandering through the woods moping like some sort of fucking Twilight movie, until we can finally get to the payoff.
At long last, it has arrived. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II doesn't really stand alone as a movie—it just provides bloody, violent catharsis for all that came before.
As if shot out of a cannon, the new picture picks up precisely where the last one ended and amounts to little more than a final battle—one last stand between the fledgling wizards and their evil overlords (led by Ralph Fiennes' Voldemort, who is still conspicuously missing a nose.)
It doesn't begin well, suffering from the typical J.K. Rowling overplotting and leaving me with the seasick sensation of jumping into the shallow end of a pool that turned out to be bigger than the ocean.
But the crazy movie has momentum, and as Dame Maggie Smith (all these years later, and they finally give her character something to do) takes charge and unites the Hogwarts kids against all those damn pesky encroaching Death-eaters and Dementors, there's a gimcrack, pop-apocalyptic flavor to the proceedings.
The movie has no shortage of vast, expansive and destroyed vistas, with Hogwarts reduced to rubble amid the kind of majestic fight sequences that summer movies were always supposed to be about. The sheer expansive scope of this fool thing is amazing. Meanwhile, Harry, Ron and Hermoine live up to the Luke, Han and Leia archetypes established all the way back in the first picture. (Rupert Grint's Ron even does a couple of patented Solo moves.)
Part I took care of all the narrative heavy lifting, and didn't really go anywhere—leaving this second picture to offer nothing but one spectacular payoff after another.
The 3-D, however, is not worth your time … nor your extra dollars. Yates favors a midnight, almost monochromatic color palate that does not benefit from wearing sunglasses. (I wish I could have seen it in 2-D.) The movie offers little in the way of extra dimensions besides gouging you out of an extra few bucks at the box office, even if those round Potter-shaped 3D shades are neat keepsakes.
Never quite feeling like a movie of its own, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II has its share of actorly pleasures. There's nobody in movies today who can quite drag his syllables out like Alan Rickman, and Michael Gambon gets some extra mileage out of his long-dead Albus Dumbledore. Fiennes remains a phenomenal embodiment of serpentine evil, and even Helena Bonham Carter's snaggle-toothed vixen finds a suitable exit cue.
But in the end, we are left with the kids. Daniel Radcliffe's surprisingly steel-spined Harry, the we-knew-awhile-back she-was-going-to-be-hot-someday Emma Watson and sad-sack Rupert Grint all take their bows at the end.
Judging from the sobs in the audience, this was a seminal moment for a generation to which I do not belong. Again, I missed that window.
This was a story that might not have been particularly well-told on-screen, and honestly never made for great movies. (If you ask me, 2007's The Order of the Phoenix was the only one that ever came close to transcending the serialized trappings.) But it comes to an end with class, dignity and a fair amount of relief on the part of yours truly.
Grade: B-
Director: David Yates
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint
"Sounds like you're being drug along despite yourself. I'm one of the 99.9% who find the books vastly superior to the movies, but also really like most of the movies. If you should ever choose to revisit the series, give Prisoner of Azbakhan another shot - it was the most visually interesting of any of them, IMHO."
"I think that was the longest ' I wish I were a part of something so great' speech. Get over yourself. The Harry Potter films were Definitely half as good as the books for sure. You don't have a clue what your talking about, and there's about 500 billion people and over 600 million dollars to prove that. So cry yourself to sleep because you wish you understood something so amazing."

Belgrade is not, as some obdurate critics used to object, the moodiest of all the capital cities in the Balkans, either. Quite the contrary: Serbs generally and Belgrade residents particularly are open, friendly and direct. Even after having suffering under international sanctions and anti-Serb sentiments in the West, they are incredibly hospitable and warm to foreigners, and sometimes generous to the extreme. You must see to believe.
Nor is Belgrade a very good example of a patriarchal, old-fashioned and melancholic community. The past and the present are curiously interwoven here, where east and west mingle. Its practical tolerance has made it a cosmopolitan city. Belgrade has always been tolerant of foreign influences, ideas, novelties and life styles, though its citizens are homely, fond and unobtrusive. As for the reputed spirit of melancholy, if you succeed in feeling it at all, it is not because of Belgrade's present anxieties, only because of some old regrets.

Survivor 24,One World Eliminated Jay Byars In Episode 9 Tonight
Survivor 24,One World eliminated Jay Byars in episode 9 tonight. Earlier tonight,CBS aired the 9th episode for "Survivor 24: One World," and another unsuspecting gentleman got the royal blindside. The show kicked off with commentary footage between Jay and Troy. They were pretty worried about this strong women's alliance that was forming. However,they were still glad they voted off Michael in the last episode.
After the break,they showed "Rewards Challenge" footage,and it was self-hosted again. The crew were split up into two teams to compete,and the winners were awarded a boatride and barbecue. After the challenge, Jay started talking to the girls about how nervous he was of being blindsided.
Next, they showed footage of that hot chick Chelsea,making suggestions to the other ladies to try and get rid of either Jay or Troy. Meanwhile,Jay was talking about voting out Alicia,and even brought it up to Chelsie and Kat at one point,not knowing they had already banded together. Chelsie and Kat lied to Jay's face,telling him they would vote off Alicia.
The whole time,Troy was very suspicious of the way the ladies acted,because he really thought they may be planning to get rid of either him or Jay. Of course,Jay didn't believe him when he brought it up,because he thought he had a solid alliance with Kat and Chelsie.
Next, they showed "Immunity Challenge" footage. It was an endurance challenge,and came down to the wire with Chelsie and Leif,and Chelsie pulled out the victory by convincing Leif that he would be seen as less of a threat if he gave up and let her win,so he did.
After the challenge,the girls officially plotted to vote out Troy. However,they planned to throw in a few votes for Jay just in case Troy played an immunity idol. Just before tribal counsel,Troy got nervous,and told Jay,he had an immunity idol,and planned to use it. He also wanted to get Kim voted out. Then Jay went and blurted it to the girls,thinking they were on his side,and basically everyone started scrambling.
Next,they showed Tribal counsel footage. Everyone talked game for a bit. Then casts their votes. Troy played his immunity idol,so none of the votes for him,counted. Troy ended up getting 2 votes, Kim received 1 vote, Jay got 4 votes,and Alicia got 2 votes. So,with a whopping 4 votes, Jay got ousted,and it was well-deserved as he totally got duped.

A proposal to cut Sonora High School's graduation requirement by 10 credits got a rough reception at the district board meeting last week — as well it should have.
At a time when California's per-student spending has plummeted to 47th among the 50 states and when students in other countries are outperforming their American counterparts in a number of academic fields, making a diploma easier to come by should not be considered without a compelling reason.
District Superintendent Mike McCoy's explanation was giving would-be graduates a margin for error they do not now enjoy.
Today, students who fail a class can make it up in summer school and still earn the necessary credits. But if budget cuts force elimination of the summer session, as administrators fear, such students may be out of luck and fall 10 credits short of a diploma.
By reducing required credits from 240 to 230, McCoy told trustees, students could fail one class, not make it up and still graduate. He said a number of districts around the state require less than a full load of credits to graduate and urged trustee to relax Sonora High's requirements accordingly.
The proposed change, which would kick in with next year's freshman class, did not go down well with many in the audience. A few quotes from last Wednesday's meeting:
• "Kids are lazy and they're not going to do any more than they have to," Jared Smith, sophomore.
• "I don't feel failing a class should be a luxury," Charlene Dambacher, school counselor.
• "We are lowering our standards," Sue Mundy, biology teacher.
• "Maybe students should fail early on and learn what they need to get by instead of the district giving them a false sense of what success is," Jeannine Strain, math teacher
• "To have a class of students who don't need to pass is counterproductive," Mel Ginn, trustee and former teacher.
After hearing such input, board members wisely deferred action and asked for more information — like how many students fail and what classes they fail in. A plethora of Fs in particular classes, indeed, could reveal new problems.
Trustees will also seek the views of department heads and, through student trustee Andrew Smith, what those who are actually working for their diplomas think.
Other concerns that were raised are whether reducing the credit requirement will lead to elimination of classes, teacher layoffs or any cuts to the school's vocational classes.
McCoy told trustees that the change is not proposed to save money. He also assured that the school's vocational program is being beefed up with $165,000 in improvements to the ag/welding shop and that a credit union may be set up on campus to teach kids about banking.
Also, make-up alternatives to summer school, like Columbia College or on-line classes, should be explored.
But a question asked by Trustee Ed Clinite last week may be the key to this debate: What will the district tell parents of credit-short students if summer school is no longer an option?
First off, we must assume that such students have failed a class — which is not easy to do. Failing students are given numerous warnings in their report cards and many avenues to raise their grades to passing.
"It isn't about whether kids are smart enough to do the work," said Sonora High Principal Todd Dearden. "They are. The reason kids fail classes is apathy. It takes quite a bit of effort to fail — you have to just not do anything."
On top of that, students meet annually with counselors to chart a path toward a diploma and those in jeopardy of falling short of graduation requirements meet with them more often. Finding out you are short of meeting graduation requirements, Dearden said, "is never a surprise."
So, as unpleasant as it might be, the district might consider telling upset parents of credit-short students the truth: Their kids didn't do the work and, thus, will not reap the rewards.

{ ~ JP Today } Sharia 101 from a Muslim American perspective: Silence is not an option!
As Abdul Malik Mujahid gives his Friday sermons ("khutba" in Arabic) at various Chicago mosques and prayer locations, it needs to be known Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid is a founding member of a political organization called; Muslim Democrat. He is the chairman of Sound Vision [3], which offers multimedia Islamic teaching materials . Sound Vision is one of the oldest (since 1988) Islamic multimedia companies in the United States. He is the executive producer of Chicago's RadioIslam.com, a daily one hour (6 to 7 PM CST) talk program on WCEV 1450 AM.
In this January 2012 article from their website in an interview with Abul Malik, titled ' The United States of Islamophobia' this imam is being endorsed by guess who? The Socialist Worker.org.:
In truth, the Muslim community in the United States has been living in a virtual internment camp ever since 9/11. Since then, more than 700,000 Muslims have been interviewed by the FBI. That means nearly 50 percent of all Muslim households have been touched by this "investigation." Practically all mosques have been "checked for nuclear bombs" or other fear-provoking reasons. That's the level of trust we "enjoy" in the Muslim community.
In a speech by Abdul Malik Mujahid, Columbus, Ohio, September 1995., he puts out a Conference calling for Jihad:
Consider the following statement:
Qital [killing] is an essential element of Islam. And sometimes you don't like it. Qital is ordained upon you, though it is hateful to you, but it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you….And one example is, now we have 60 or so Muslim countries, and not a single one of them wants to go for Qital and Jihad for Bosnia. Qital is ordained upon you though it is hateful to you.23
In the United States, we treasure our freedoms that are inherent in the Bill of Rights. The freedom of speech is perhaps valued above all. Even so, the above statements were made at the annual conference of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) in Columbus, Ohio in 1995. The speaker was the then-President of an organization called the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Abdul Malik Mujahid. At the annual conference of this second organization, ICNA, held in Baltimore, Maryland in June and July, 2000, Tayyab Yunus, son of then-ICNA President Mohammad Yunus, made the following statements in an attempt to encourage participation in ICNA's summer youth training camps:
The youth is [sic] very important…. We all want to see our youth to succeed to become doctors, to become engineers; but how many of you can actually say that you want to send your sons to jihad, to Chechnya? … How many of you can actually say that you want to send your youth to fight in jihad or to send them to … these Islamic institutions to become educated?
The clear implication from Yunus' statements (23) is that the desire to send children to fight the jihad in Chechnya should be a goal of each parent for their children, and to send their children to ICNA's camp would be a way to instill these values in their children. Abdul Malik Mujahid was an integral part of this conference.
For people like me and many of my friends who for non-profit have investigated/researched these conferences since 98′, call sites like this anti-islamic. Well when you see this Abdul, we are ANTI- Sharia.Your laws infiltrating our country and trying to replace our Constitution is what we are against.
He went onto cite our Alabama law:
The text of Alabama's anti-Sharia bill was actually lifted right from a website, but does not prove what website that was. Isn't that JUST like what we know now is a radical liberal antagonistic imam?
The other things gleaned from this latest article on Abdul Malik Mujahid's 'Sound Vision':
* Instilling fear and hate against us he writes:The term "Sharia" is fast becoming a term of hate at the hands of Islamophobes to attack Islam. This has dangerous, far-reaching consequences for American Muslims which have already begun.
* He is advising his fellow muslims to a challenge and attempts to insult a collective intelligence.:
Three states have passed anti Sharia-laws since 2010 and now, 17 others are discussing similar bills. Meanwhile, the powerful Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is suggesting there should be a federal law banning Sharia altogether. Most other Republican candidates are supporting his position.
While the U.S. Supreme Court recognized Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, among the eighteen greatest lawgivers of the world in 1935, a majority of Americans are confused about Sharia and do not understand what it is.
* Then he goes onto to pitch why they cannot allow banning Sharia in the United States of AMERICA:
The real life implications are many for Muslims. Banning Sharia will directly impact Muslim marriages, divorces, Islamic financing, and mediation. Banning Sharia is like banning Jewish Halakha practiced by many Jews in America. But very few people are articulating Muslim perspectives on Sharia.
Misunderstanding and misinformation about Sharia, as well as Islamophobia in general, is fueled not just by television. The internet has increased the power of hate and misunderstanding several thousand-fold. Google the word "Sharia" and you will find false, negative, and highly anti-Islamic material among the top search results.
He again cites anti-islamic websites with no sourced material:
When we typed in the word "Sharia" on Google, here are some of the first results that showed up:
– Creeping Sharia
– 10 reasons no one should follow Sharia
– Muslim Women against Sharia
– Muslims against Sharia
All of these sites are anti-Islamic. When you search for images or videos about "Sharia", once again, all of the results are anti-Muslim.
And your point is Abdul?
He wants his fellow muslims in Chicago to know that he will launch a major campaign to develop and provide Muslim perspectives on Sharia set to launch in the fall of 2011 insha Allah. He plans to open a major web portal, Sharia101.org, that will become a repository of accurate, accessible, concise, as well as in-depth information about Sharia. We are using multiple SEO techniques to make Sharia101.org the top website among search results for the word "Sharia". We also intend to use Facebook and Twitter to promote the website and more importantly, share the critical information it will offer to a larger, and primarily younger audience.
He goes onto advise them their 'Very Survival is at Stake' against us boogeymen who refuse to allow Sharia law in our country. Then he close with his pitch for donations:
Sound Vision is in a unique position to help the community with the Sharia 101 project because we have been developing Islamic content for the Muslim community and our neighbors for over 22 years. Using our invaluable connections with Islamic scholars, lawyers, journalists and producers, we have developed a team to accomplish the first phase of the Sharia 101 project within a few months. However, this team of professionals can only assist the community if we raise the resources required for this work.
Patriots, can you imagine this is JUST one imam but one that works out of Obama's hometown. Realize that islam has thrived in Chicago.
Records in 1996 indicated the Greater Chicago area has over eighty Islamic organizations and most of them attached to an Islamic center or a mosque. The estimated population of Muslims in Cook and the collar counties is 350,000, almost 5% of the total population of the region. The Muslims have surpassed the population of Jews and many other ethnic groups.
Chicago is not only complicit in working with them but Mayor Rahm Emanuel said on February 23rd, there's no way Chicago police officers would spy on Muslims or conduct surveillance operations in their communities like those carried out by New York officers in that city and neighboring New Jersey. I cannot phantom or guesstimate what the islam population has grown to in my home state. I do know that it has far surpassed the 96′ estimates. This will show you JUST how many mosques and business there are in Chicago. And that does not include all the surrounding suburbs.
Abdul Malik Mujahid on May 14, 2012 states Chicago has nearly a half of a million muslims when he spoke on the war against them :
In his own words, addresses how targeting of Muslims is not exclusive and all people of color are targeted, particularly these days Latinos. Yep, part of that Obama syndicate.
We began to attend these conferences, mostly it was necessary to do so in disguise, with those that spoke Farsi and Arabic. These conferences were boldy held annually in Rosemont, Il. JUST on the outskirts of the city, near O'Hare. In what has become a near-annual ritual in the Chicago suburbs, a conference promoted by a fringe Islamic organization has drawn suspicion, complaints and ultimately a cancellation. And it's about time! They began to hold these prior to 9/11 and the outrage was minimal.
In closing I want to share a book by Abdul Malik Mujahid titled "Commanders of the Muslim Army" , a Jihad book -Council of Islamic Organisations of Greater Chicago gets funding to help Muslims become American citizens. The True Muslim: Book which was cited by Theo van Gogh's killer is read in American and english speaking mosques February 2, 2005. Thanks to another citizn blogger, he shows how the Darusalem company flaunts their Islamist message:
What is noteworthy about this tome is that the publisher is none other then Abdul Malik Mujahid, the newly elected chairman of the Council of Islamic organisations of Greater Chicago (CIOGC) which is regarded as a mainstream Muslim organisation, but is part of a large Chicago Wahabist network closely aligned with the Bridgeview mosque Foundation, whose spokemen include Rafiq Jaber, is the head of the Islamic Association of Palestine, and Oussama Jammal, who claimed that Muslims were not involved in the 9/11 attacks. Jamal runs a film company and closely linked to Mujahid's Sound Vision which is a multi media Islamist propagation commercial enterprise.
With imams such as him, you must, as with the socialist liberals, listen to how he talks out of both sides of his mouth. In every speech of his you must follow the innuendo as opposed to the doublespeak. Look for the 'hidden' message of their true meaning. They would continue to have us believe that islam is the religion of peace. And as any good anti-sharia website we must declare…
We will not tolerate Sharia being the law of our land in America! ~ JP

I'm not one to look forward to the end of summer, but this sneak preview from Season 2 of "The Walking Dead" is making me wish for October.
AMC's hit series went out with a bang last fall with the explosive destruction of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters — and a rather bleak future for our shell-shocked band of survivors. For those who have yet to enjoy this drama, all you have to know is that the city of Atlanta (and possibly the world) is overrun with zombies. Great writing, great acting and suspense all follow.
AMC has released a few snapshots and clips before, but this solid 4.5 minute trailer is a true taste of what we can expect from Season 2 — which more than doubles last year's zombie-goodness from six episodes to 13.
For those citizens of Atlanta who had to endure a temporary shutdown of Georgia State Route 20, you'll finally get a glimpse of some of the horror cooked up for that particular scene. The second season of "The Walking Dead" premieres Oct. 16. Check out the trailer below.

1) You're upset that you can't have any and all virtual assistant programs built into your OS or that Apple doesn't want their server-side Siri system to be accessed by others? Those are the only two options, and they are both stupid, because there are alternatives on the App Store. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vling...297214191?mt=8
Neither of those upset me. The problem is the "alternatives" can't do anything close to what Siri can/is supposed to, because of the limited nature of multi-tasking and the restrictive APIs.
Sorry, for some reason when you mentioned "Mail" I got it in my head you were talking about the Mac versions.

Watch How Rihanna's Crystal-Embellished CFDA Dress Was Made
Rihanna's stunning and extremely sheer CFDA Awards dress was carefully hand-embellished with over 216,000 Swarovski crystals!
Designer Adam Selman shared a video on Instagram of his team creating the custom-made gown piece-by-piece … and it seems like it required a lot of patience.
Adam captioned the video, "Detail of my incredible team at work with @official_swarovski and @rupaulsdragrace led by the true queen @meetingsmagazine #glamazon."
How long do you think it took to complete the dress?

U.S. adults 'dumber than average human'
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 10/08/2013 @ 2:11 pm In Education,U.S. | No Comments
(NYPOST) — It's long been known that America's school kids haven't measured well compared with international peers. Now, there's a new twist: Adults don't either.
In math, reading and problem-solving using technology – all skills considered critical for global competitiveness and economic strength – American adults scored below the international average on a global test, according to results released Tuesday.
Adults in Japan, Canada, Australia, Finland and multiple other countries scored significantly higher than the United States in all three areas on the test. Beyond basic reading and math, respondents were tested on activities such as calculating mileage reimbursement due to a salesman, sorting email and comparing food expiration dates on grocery store tags.

Simple Process Models
Simple processes in chemical engineering concern hydrodynamic, diffusion, heat conduction, adsorption and chemical processes. These are typical non equilibrium processes and the relevant mathematical descriptions concern quantitatively their kinetics. This gives a ground to utilize the laws of irreversible thermodynamics as mathematical structures building the models of the simple processes. The quantitative description of irreversible processes depends on the level of the process description. From such a point of view, one can define three basic levels of description–thermodynamic, hydrodynamic and boltzmann levels. These different levels if process descriptions form a natural hierarchy. Thus, going up from one level to the next, the description becomes richer, i.e., more detailed. This approach allows the kinetic parameters defined at a lower level to be described through relevant kinetic parameters at an upper level. The thermodynamic level utilizes quantitative descriptions through extensive variables. If there is a distributed space, the volume must be represented as a set of unit cells, where the variables are the same but have different values in different cells. The hydrodynamic is the next level, where a new extensive variable participates in the processes.
This variable is the momentum. Therefore, the hydrodynamic level of description can be considered as a generalization of the lower, thermodynamic level. Here, the extensive variables are mass density, momentum, and energy. In the isolated systems they are conserved and the conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy are used. The Boltzmann level is the next upper level of description and concerns only the mass density as a function of the distribution of the molecules in space and their momenta. The kinetics of irreversible processes employs mathematical structures following from Onsanger's linear principle. According to them, the mean value of the time derivatives of the extensive variables and the mean derivatives of their adjoined intensive variables from the equilibrium are expressed through linear relationships. The principle is valid close to the equilibrium and the coefficients of the proportionality are the kinetic constants. When the process takes place far from equilibrium, the kinetic constants become kinetic complexes depending on the corresponding intensive variables (in the case of fusion of two identical systems, the extensive variables double, whereas the intensive variables remain the same).
The hydrodynamic level is widely applicable in the mechanics of continua. Here, the material point corresponds to a sufficient volume of the medium that is simultaneously sufficiently small with respect to the entire volume under consideration and at the same time sufficiently large with respect to the intermolecular distances of the medium. Modeling in chemical engineering utilizes mathematical structures provided by the mechanics of the continua. The principal reason for this is the fact that these structures sufficiently well describe the phenomena in detail. Moreover, they employ physically well defined models with a low number of experimentally defined parameters.

Question by brave_words: How does one meet older Korean women?
I'm a 39 year old American male currently living in South Korea serving with the US Army. I would love to meet an older Korean woman but can't seem to figure out how. The clubs are all full of younger girls interested in meeting younger American soldiers.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Best answer:
Answer by sgrag3003
If you would like to meet an older woman, you should check out your surroundings. If you are shopping, check to see if their is a pretty woman that catches your eye. If so, strike up a conversation. Ask her where a certain food item is or whatever you feel is appropriate.
There are a lot of older women on the subway. Try sitting next to one. Korean men do this all the time to me and start chatting with me. You can do the same with Korean women.
Another way, is the internet. There are a lot of online dating sites that have older women.
Check out:
By using the internet, you have better chances of finding an older woman that speaks English because they usually write their profiles in English.
Good luck!

Garage Safety
Always keep a telephone in the garage, either a landline or cell phone. Thousands of people get injured in garages each year. Tools, lawn equipment, saws, grinders, welders, jack stands and countless other devices take their toll on careless, or otherwise distracted, hobbyists. Make sure a phone is handy to call for help if something happens to you. Having a cell phone within easy reach can mean the difference between a trip to the hospital with a broken bone when you get pinned under something heavy, or a trip to the funeral home.

Deployments, reunions, and family roles
Deployments and reunions can cause military families to experience stress and uncertainty about family roles. Confusion can occur when family members have to take on their service member's pre-deployment roles and responsibilities in addition to their own. Once reunited, both the service member and his or her family members should communicate openly when re-establishing previous tasks or assigning new ones.

KISS: Baked Salmon with Dill Cauliflower "Rice"

Here's our KISS meal of the week: Baked Salmon with Dill Cauliflower "Rice"
While we like finding a great Pinot Noir to pair with salmon, this week we threw caution to the wind, and opened a bottle of Gelfand Cabernet Sauvignon. Go big, or go home.
We eat salmon pretty often, but serving it with cauliflower "rice" was a different (and great) compliment. « Continue »

Italian Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Chicken was on our menu plan last night, but I wasn't in the mood for our regular grilled chicken. I wanted something with a little more pizzazz.
We were both pretty hungry, so I had to figure it out quickly. I rummaged through the kitchen, found a few ingredients that "spoke" to me, and pulled together a rather tasty dinner within 40 minutes, start to finish. Not bad!
Cauliflower and Turnip Mash
I decided to try something a bit different . . . a side dish strikingly similar to mashed potatoes. Without the potatoes. Made with healthy veggies (who knew cauliflower could be used as pizza crust and faux mashed potatoes!) and an extra protein kick (thanks to the greek yogurt), it turned out to be quite tasty and very easy to pull together.
Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Yes, the crust of this pizza is made from cauliflower. Not a problem in my veggie-lovin' eyes. But I wasn't sure how it would go over for those eating with me. I read recipes online, and researched the pros and cons of different variations, before my first attempt. I'm excited to say that my version pleased both friends and family!« Continue »

Re: iverson wants to play for memphis rumor
I'm pretty sure Hollins will not let anyone come in and compete with Conley for the starting job; he loves the guy. I'm willing to give him a full season as a starter to prove he is worth that trust. The only concern I have is the lack of ball movement on the team.
Not to bash Greg Oden, but Conley has had more flashes of being a solid professional at this point than Oden, even though he was seen as lucking out into his draft position thanks to Oden.
I may be forgetting other point guards in that '07 draft, but I'd take Conley over Stuckey. He's really promising now with his 3-point shot developing. (the only complaint I have is how many he airballs, while still somehow shooting a good percentage on them)
