Nice shot
beautiful clear reflection. Colours are so vibrant.
Beautiful. Very well-composed, well-executed picture. I have been to Venice once... I'd love to go back!
Love how the oranges and blues play off of one another. Really brings beauty and life to this photo!
Very nice! well done!
wow very blue, is it really that blue or did you photoshop it?
Both actually. I used 13 different shutter speed and then assembled them. Then, I adjusted levels, gamma, contrast, brightness and slightly saturated colors. As I remember the scenery, colors looked pretty much like that.
excellent shot! congratulations!
WOW! nice pic....what did this have to do with poetry?

Best Sports Moment (2008)
The Marching Owl Band Goes After Todd Graham
Todd Graham did the miraculous in 2006: He led the Rice Owl football team to its first bowl game in 45 years. He got a raise and a contract extension, and then he split the beautiful Rice campus for the University of Tulsa's Golden Hurricane football team. Last season, Graham returned to Rice Stadium and The Marching Owl Band (The MOB) showed Graham their appreciation, performing a halftime show called Todd Graham's Inferno, which ended with his being called a douchebag. The Tulsa athletic director complained to Conference USA about The MOB's lack of sportsmanship, and The MOB's band director later apologized. But the point had been made: The entire country now knows that Todd Graham is a douchebag.

Answer: A drink invented by communists living in Florida.
If that sounds like a Borscht Belt gag of the late 1950s, you're in the right place and proper mood for a date with "The Catskill Sonata."
The play, now in its world premiere run at the Hayworth Theatre, is directed by Paul Mazursky ("Bob&Carol&Ted&Alice," "Enemies, a Love Story") and written by Michael Elias ("The Jerk," "The Frisco Kid").
Both draw inspiration from their own Catskill days -- Elias was actually born in the mountains, and both he and Mazursky passed their Borscht Belt apprenticeships as waiters and comedians.
Set a week before the season's opening at Rosen's Mountain View Hotel, a bohemian off-Borscht Belt resort that has seen better days, proprietor Anne Rosen (Lisa Robins) caters to left-leaning writers, musicians and artists, whose job it is to mingle with the easily awed paying guests.
However, this year the artists in residence are not as chipper and argumentative as in past seasons. The McCarthy-era blacklist of "communists and fellow travelers" has cast a pall over newly-ostracized artists and those fearing a similar fate.
Nevertheless, the resort has engaged hunky looking Dave Vaughn (Kip Gilman) as the year's "intellectual tummler," or funmaker. Dave, a comedy writer for Arthur Godfrey's show, has a wonderful head of hair and a physical resemblance to a young Robert Mitchum.
Dave is also acerbic, unhappily divorced, a dedicated womanizer and heavy drinker, who carries around a bitter secret. He spends much of his time knocking down the aforementioned vodka and orange juice, seducing women, alternately counseling and offending fellow employees and guests and mentoring 17-year-old bellhop Irwin Shukovsky (Daryl Sabara) in the ways of sex and writing.
Sharing the stage with Dave are Rae Isaacs (Lisa Chess), a blacklisted concert pianist; Leo Schwartz (Zack Norman), a businessman who wants to convert the bohemian retreat into a Chasidic center; and Ernie Korn (John Ciccolini), the exasperated manager of the place.
After a slow start, "Catskill Sonata" picks up the pace and the punch lines, which are interlaced with telling observations on the political condition of the country and the human struggles of a failed artist.
One scene alone is worth the price of admission ($20), a dream sequence in which Dave teaches Stalin to cha-cha-cha. In turn, the old dictator, worried that the Soviet Union is falling behind Americans in comedy shows, offers Dave a job as the Kremlin's chief comedy writer -- until he learns that Dave and most of his ilk are Jewish.
"Catskill Sonata" plays Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings through April 14 at the Hayworth Theatre, 2509 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles.

Antonito coach Aaron Abeyta, Bryan Ruybal and the rest of the Trojans' seniors have lived Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities."
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . . and they are hoping the good times keep rolling.
It wasn't all that long ago when the Antonito football team was considered "everybody's punching bag."
A hapless program that had Abeyta, a 1989 graduate of the tiny San Luis Valley school located 7 miles from the New Mexico border, sitting in the stands and wondering what he could do to bring the program back to life.
"I knew if I was going to do it," said Abeyta, who was fired as a volunteer coach for expressing his thoughts to the previous coach, "I was going to have to put my money where my mouth was."
Abeyta, who was disgusted with how previous regimes treated the team's players, eventually took over a program in the midst of a 16-game losing streak in 2006 and "managed to continue the losing streak for 12 more games," he said.
So what was the magic elixir? When did the light switch get flicked on?
"I had a bunch of boys that still loved the game and wanted to play football," said Abeyta, a professor at Adams State who has published three books. "The fact they didn't quit was my proof they bought into it."
The wins came slowly, but at least they came. After finishing 2-7 in 2007, the Trojans ended a 17-year playoff drought in 2008, going 7-2.
"The coaches always told us that the game of football was more than just hard work," said Ruybal, a native of Antonito, "that the best never give up and more than anything we wanted to prove it to the community."
The reclamation project was completed in 2009, when Ruybal and Jose Uriarte (now at Western State) guided Antonito to its first perfect regular season and a trip to the state quarter-finals.
The Trojans lost 30-14 to Elbert at home, but their foundation was in place. And those in the valley took notice of what the rapidly rising team had accomplished.
"People were coming up to me in the store and congratulating me," said Abeyta, who was named the valley's coach of the year last season.
Not bad for a program that many in the valley considered to be on life support.
Now the expectations are as high as they have ever been — especially for Ruybal, who averaged 13 yards per carry last year en route to gaining 2,200 yards and scoring 27 touchdowns.
"It feels good, but I can't take all the credit," said Ruybal, a four-sport athlete and the son of a 1970 Antonito graduate. "The offensive line was awesome all season, and their blocking was outstanding."
With success comes the lure of bigger nonleague games. Such is the case with the Trojans. In addition to their Mountain League schedule against potential league challengers La Veta and Sanford, Plains powerhouse Caliche and Western semifinalist Norwood are on the schedule — which Ruybal relishes.
"We're looking forward to seeing what we are made of against those guys," he said. "Hopefully we can show them what we are made of and play Antonito football."

This is beyond the realm of Aperture out-of-the-box since it's not a compositing editor like Adobe Photoshop.
If Adobe Photoshop is beyond your budget, Mac OS X's Preview app has this "Instant Alpha" ability built-in. Read more about it here: http://lifehacker.com/318083/do-more-with-preview-in-leopard
Also, try giving Pixelmator a try. It's relatively cheap. You can read more about doing this in Pixelmator here: http://www.pixelmator.com/learn/2009/04/quickly-remove-unwanted-background/

Price: $
Package Quality: 3.9

INGREDIENTSAqua(Water), PVP, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Polyacrylic Acid, PEG-8, Triethanolamine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

Great for the brows, packaging can be better but it is only $1 so you can't beat the price! It darkens my lashes even more and gives them just a tiny bit of enhancement but it is good for school if you're afraid of mascara smudging or you're not allowed to wear any makeup but you still want that little something for your lashes! Overall, I would repurchase this when I'm finished the tube I'm currently using but I'd like to explore and stretch my horizons in to trying more brow gels that are tinted.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Can't beat this for the price! A $1 tube of this can help invisibly groom unruly brows on one end while lending a natural look of enhancement to lashes with the other. Lasted past the expiry date for me, and didn't dry out/clump. Awesome on-the-go product!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Warm
Hair: Black, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Used this for about a week.
- Holds your brows in place.
- Cheap.
- Doesn't irritate my skin.
- Slightly shiny like hair gel.
My eyebrows are naturally long and generally do whatever the hell they want. I've tried using waxes before and they don't last/aren't strong enough to tame my brows. I have had good success with this but it does go on a bit like hair gel and can make my brows a little shiny. It's weird but it works, and the price can't be beat. I am prone to psoriasis in my brows, which has been irritated by certain products in the past, and so far I've had no patches in my brows using this.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I don't think there's a difference between the brow and mascara tubes or brushes, which seems like a waste to me. But I will continue to repurchase this to use as a mascara for "no makeup" days. I just curl my lashes and put on a coat of this for a very natural look. I'm sure there are better clear mascaras out there, but for the price I think this is a good deal.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Keeps my brows in place all day doesn't move at all. So much better than loreal brow artist plumper in transparent and the maybelline clear mascara
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Grey
I hate this.... It doesn't make any difference on my lashes, and it looks sooo bad on the eyebrows.... Ew.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Grey
Honestly? I don't get the hype about this product.
The mascara end is totally useless. My comments below refer to the brow end.
The product runs out quickly, and the results are negligible. The product also picks up foundation, making it practically unusable unless the brush is washed after every use. I find my Anastasia spoolie much more useful for basic brow grooming.
I now use Gimme Brow to style my brows, to much better effect.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
Amazing as a mascara topcoat. I've bought and returned a couple of mascara topcoats that made my lashes all crispy and clumpy. Seems like every mascara I have ends up under or in my eyes. With this on top it reduces that by about 80%. And it doesn't alter how the mascara looks. Yay!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
$2!! Packaging is really wasteful being in two tubes, but the products works amazingly (I only use it as a brow gel). In the beginning it was a bit clumpy to apply but I didn't really mind seeing how cheap it was. Anyways, It holds all parts of my brows- Even the most stubborn areas. And it does so even better than my Anastasia clear brow gel (which is 11x the price by the way). I can't remember if it makes my brows "crunchy," but it must've not really been noticeable. I would definitely recommend it.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Olive, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Black
i expected it would be a natural looking mascara but found i was wrong. it did nothing to my lashes. the formula is too wet it didn't hold any curl. i try to curl my lashes first, but after i applied this, they started to go down!! worst, i can't fix them and re-curling again with my shu uemura, it still too wet and made no curl. i don't really need this for my brows since i have quite neat eyebrows. but i tried it once and it just OK to hold my brows in place all day and made them look a bit glossy and slightly darker.

ISLAM - general & cartoons
Posted 20 April 2006 - 04:22 AM
The Oxford Diction defines it as:
1. belief in a superhuman controlling power, esp. in a personal God or gods entitled to obedience and worship. 2. expression of this in worship. 3. particular system of faith in worship.4. things that one is devoted to.
Now if one was to think Darwinism or evolution was a religion then they would look at example 3 or 4.
From 3, we know that no one can or does worship evolution. There is nothing to worship. No 'reward' is every gained.
And from 4, someone may believe but one again being devoted to it brings no purpose as there are no 'rewards'. And so weather you believe in it or not Darwin could not care less. So it's not a religion. It is a Theory though as some have already stated better than I.
It is a comfortable place to lie in if you're undecided or are not bothered with religion (of any kind). But to me and billions of other people of faith it's nonsense. And some of them have even argued against it with compelling arguments. I with my own untrained head can ask a few questions and come to a dead stop. I remember when I was 12 I was wondering if Islam was forced onto be. Is there a truer way of life? After a while I realised it gave me more answers and less questions than anything else could. I don't assume to know all religions but in my experience it did. But that's a different story.
Darwinism basically says (in my understanding):
Life started in the sea as microbes. And continued evolving and here we are billions of years later. Now lets just for a sec say THAT IS TRUE. And lets go back a few billion years before life was created and ask yourself how was the sun, the moon, the earth and the start of all other "materials" in the universe created? Oh yeah. THE BIG BANG! That's a great answer.
But wait! The Big Bang THEORY is that huge amounts of gas (plasma) collected in some place in the universe. And as these were pulled together by the shear force of the gravity they were creating they compressed closer. As they squeezed closer they got hotter and hotter building pressure. Eventually came a point where the force exerted due to the pressure was greater than the force of gravity pulling everything closer and BANG. You got an explosion which we call the BIG BANG.
Fine I accept that but what you have to ask yourself (and this is the key), Where Did All This Gas Come From In The Beginning? This gas (plasma), which was vital for the big bang, where did it originate from? How can it be that it was there before the big bang (which is supposed to be the beginning of all things)? SOMETHING CAN NOT COME FROM NOTHING. So what does that mean? There must be a CREATOR (Allah in my belief). It doesn't matter (here) if you think the creator let us evolve or not but the materials (gas - plasma) in the universe got there somehow. It can't just be dumped! I'm a man who understands science quiet well. But here science can't give us any answers.
As johan explained, theories can change with the wind. One minute earth is in the centre of the universe and the next we're not. And the same goes for many other such as the world being flat.
So is it wise to put your ultimate fate on something which has no clear answer?
Sure some of you are going to look at this light heartedly but I'm telling you my physics lecturers were not able to answer this. And they are cleaver people, I tell you!
Related: The Conservation Of Energy (a physical law) states that "energy can not be created or destroyed". This is a scientific fact. If it can not be created or destroyed, how did it get there?
Posted 20 April 2006 - 06:02 AM
And when you say that it must have been a creator because SOMETHING CAN NOT COME FROM NOTHING, I ask you: Where did that creator come from? Did the creator just pop out of the black? Did the creator come out of nothing? This doesn't make sense to me.
My opinion is that all religious explanations of how life started are fabricated to fit and make sense. And ,obviously, they do. That's excactly why so many believe them to be the truth. I don't think humans are able to understand everything, for instance eternity and that the universe always has existed, which is my belief, even though I don't understand it. Because nothing just happens on earth without any action beforehand, we are so into that way of thinking, that we seem to think the same about the universe, which I believe is the reason why we don't have any definite answer to this. It's beyond our comprehension. At least yet. Ask any physichist or other scientist who is neutral to religion, and you'll get the same answer.
And by the way, the Big Bang theory is not the only theory about our solar system's creation out there, you know.. For instance the Oligarch theory which has become a hot potato along with the findings of the new planet Xena and many other giant asteroids, makes just as much sense.
Posted 20 April 2006 - 01:46 PM
All of them share one thing in common. Vagueness. " iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind…". You can read anything you want into this, but in no way does it directly say what you imply.

Posted 01 May 2006 - 03:21 PM
However the first Muslim on earth was not Muhammad (pbuh) but Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham - pbuh) as he was the first to submit totally to Allah. And so it can be said Ibrahim (pbuh) is the father of Islam. Ibrahim (pbuh) had 8 sons; the first of whom was Prophet Isma'il (Ishmael - pbuh). The Prophet Muhammad was a descendant of Isma'il (pbuh). The Jews and therefore Christians also, descended from Prophet Ishaq (Isaac - pbuh), the second son of Ibrahim (pbuh).
Allah created man to worship him and to lead a virtuous life based on his teachings. But how can man know his role or purpose if he does not receive guidance?
This guidance has been sent from Allah through prophets, from the beginning of human existence (i.e. from Adam - pbuh). All prophets carried the same message from Allah, "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah".
The Qur'an mentions 25 Prophets and Messengers * by name. But it is unclear as to the exact number that have been sent. One hadith states it as 224,000 while another as 124,000. Whether the number was 224,000 or 124,000 is not important. What is essential is that no land, people or period was neglected, prophets were sent to all.
Allah in the Qur'an says:
"There never was a people without a Warner having lived among them" (Qur'an, 35:24)
"and We sent among every people a Messenger" (Qur'an, 16:36)
So what this means is that on the Day of Judgement, when each individual will have to account for his time on earth, he will not be able to say "Allah I had no warner".
If some of you are wondering what if there is a case where (just maybe) someone was not warned (directly or indirectly). What happens then?
Allah in the Qur'an says:
"We never punish until We have sent a Messenger" (Qur'an, 17:15)
How just and merciful is Allah! But remember Allah has made it clear that this excuse will be unfounded, because every nation has received a prophet (Qur'an, 35:24) and (Qur'an, 16:36).
The date of Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) birth is generally agreed as being 570CE in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. His father, Abdullah, died several weeks before his birth and at the age of six, he lost his mother Amina also and so became an orphan. His grandfather Abd al Muttalib became his guardian but passed away within two years when Muhammad (pbuh) was eight. He now came under the care of his uncle Abu Talib, the new leader of the Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe, the most powerful in Mecca.
During his adult life he spent much time in a cave (Hira) near Mecca in meditation and thought. It is here in 610CE that while meditating The Angel Jibrail (Gabriel) appeared to him. Jibrail said to him "Iqraa", meaning Read or Recite. But as Muhammad (pbuh) was illiterate said to Jibrail "I am not a reader". Jibrail then embraced him until he reached the limit of his endurance and after releasing said: "Iqraa." Muhammad's (pbuh) answer was the same as before. Jibrail repeated the embrace for the third time, and when The Angel Jibrail released him, he said to Muhammad (pbuh):
"Recite in the name of your Lord who created! He created man from that which clings. Recite; and thy Lord is most Bountiful, He who has taught by the pen, taught man what he knew not." (Qur'an, 96:1-4)
This was to be the start of his prophethood and the revelations of the Qur'an. His wife Khadijah was one of the first to believe. Abu Bakr, one of Muhammad's (pbuh) close friends was also another who believed in the very early stages of Islam. For the next 23 years as the revelations of the Qur'an came down from Allah through the Angel Jibrail, Muhammad (pbuh) spread the word of Allah. He was a poor man to begin with and he died a poor man in the year 632CE.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a friend of Allah and more importantly Allah is a friend of his. This friendship can not be stressed enough. But to go into it will mean me writing pages. There are many attributes that distinguish the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) from other Prophets (pbut). One that stands out and is most important is that Muhammad (pbuh) was a messenger for the whole of Mankind and Jinns. As stated above, all nations in history have received a messenger. But these messenger or prophets were specifically assigned for their people or their nation. Musa (Moses - pbuh) was sent for the Children of Israel as too was Isa (Jesus - pbuh). Muhammad (pbuh) in this sense is unique.
This then somewhat follows on to the second part which is that he is the final messenger in the line of messengers, to be sent from Allah.
"Muhammad is the messenger of Allah and the final seal of the prophets" (Qur'an, 33:40)
As some of you may conclude, it means The Last Hour or Judgement Day is not as far away as is was once. The arrival and passing of the last messenger means the count down can, in a sense start (even though it always had been).
*PROPHET (Nabi) and MESSENGER (Rasoul)
Prophet (Nabi) – One that brings scripture (books) from Allah, i.e. Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (pbut),
Messenger (Rasoul) – One who confirms the scriptures (books) and teaches it ways,
"God took a covenant from the PROPHETS, saying, "I will give you the SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM. Afterwards, a MESSENGER will come to CONFIRM all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him." He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?" They said, "We agree." He said, "You have thus borne witness, and I bear witness along with you." (Qur'an, 3:81)

There are caricatures of Jesus and such all over the place. I find the Islamic cartoons quite hillarious. I cant imagine a bunch of Christians or Jews or what ever going buck wild over a cartoon (Ive got nothing against Islam.. Its just the morons..)
I can't believe we have idiots and yes idiots, who think its ok to show cartoons of a prophet (any prophet - Jesus, Mosses, Adam) that will offend 1.6 billion Muslims is fine and encouraged.

Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog.
He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the
dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks
over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the
newspapers: 'Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl'"
The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!"
"Oh ,then it will say in newspapers in the morning: 'Brave American saves
life of little girl'" – the policeman answers.
"But I am not an American!" – says the man.
"Oh, what are you then?
"The man says: - "I am a Saudi!
"The next day the newspapers say: "Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog.

There are caricatures of Jesus and such all over the place. I find the Islamic cartoons quite hillarious. I cant imagine a bunch of Christians or Jews or what ever going buck wild over a cartoon (Ive got nothing against Islam.. Its just the morons..)
The thing is that Christians, for example, don't have any particular issue with images of Christ, God or any other important figure of their religion (they make images of them by the millions), in contrast the simple fact of an image or cartoon of their prophet Muhammad is highly offending, and if the content of the cartoon itself is offending... go figure.
Therefore those cartoons can't be compared to similar ones depicting other religions. You could compare it with other things that produce the same effect, a Christian can see a funny joke about Christ on for example "Family Guy" and laugh at it (not all Christians, and those aren't particularly offending, granted, but you get the point).
On a different note I have always been curious of what Muslims believe about the historical Jesus, I'm a Catholic (or at least from a catholic background) so I know how Catholics and many other Christians see him, but about Muslims all I know it is a prophet for them, but that's it, the title. If any of the muslims on the forum could clarify this for me I would appreciate it.
Posted 10 May 2006 - 03:12 AM
I'm not a scholar. I have to admit I know very little about Islam myself (given what I could know - and I guess should also). But I will try and answer your question.
Islam basically acknowledges (more or less as far as I can tell) all Jewish and Christian messenger (sons, saints etc) as prophets and messengers from Allah.
As mentioned earlier the Qur'an names 25 of them. But the total number is in the hundred thousands.
List of Prophets and Messenger in the Qur'an
Although all prophets and messengers were important, some had major key roles and so whose status is uniquely high. Moses (or Musa as we call him) is one of Allah's greatest Prophets. And like wise so is Jesus (or Isa).
Islam acknowledges Jesus's unique entrance into this world from his mother Mary (or Mariam in Arabic). Something not even all Christians believe. We believe in his miracles. We believe in his original gospels (we consider the bible to have been corrupted over the centuries). Where Islam and Christianity part sides is as to what he is and what happened to him. Christians believe he is the son of God or God himself and that he was crucified.
Muslims on the other hand consider him to be one of the greatest messengers of Allah who still has a key role to play.
Muslims also don't believe he was crucified. Looking into Christianity a little myself, it seems his crucifixion was mentioned only by Paul, who never even saw Jesus. He also admitted the resurrection was his gospel (II Timothy 2:8) <remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel>
Muslim also believe Jesus (Isa) will return to earth in his second coming (as he isn't dead yet) to fight the Dajjal (anti-Christ) before the end of the world. He will marry have children and then pass away followed later by the end of the world. This is a VERY interesting area of study but one that is lengthy to explain.
I would implore all my Christian friends to read "Muslim Christian Dialogue" by H. M. Baagil, M.D. I am currently reading it myself and it is extremely interesting. I Kidd you not! This is a must for any Christian. Why? Because it WILL make you question your faith. I can almost guaranty it.
I have a book version. If someone wants this then let me know and I can try and post it out to them if I can get some more copies. But there is also a web version.
Muslim Christian Dialogue by H. M. Baagil, M.D
I know so many people that were practising Christians that are now Muslims, thanks to books such as these. Another great author who has done wonderful work is Ahmed Deedat. This great man has done much over the decades to show that Islam is the natural resting place for Christians. So come my friends.
Posted 10 May 2006 - 12:29 PM
My biggest problem with islam is the unwaivering belief that the Qur'an is the unabridged word of God on the basis that "it says so in the Qur'an".
How can you garantee the authenticity of a book based on a statement in that same book?
You can explain the Bible and correct the Jewish and Christian prejudice with the context of the Qur'an. It is the last revealed book and has never been corrupted or adulterated. Its contents has been guaranteed by Allah in Surah 2:2: This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt... and also in Surah 15:9: No doubt We have sent down the Qur'an and surely We will guard it (from corruption).
Whereas the bible has 66 books written by human beings who may have made mistakes. However since there are a collection of sources written over vast periods of time to corroborate each other it is far easier to establish it as truthful.
I also fail to understand the relevance of the authors statements about the falibility of prophets (Lot, Moses, etc) depicted in the bible, does Islam believe that all prophets are holy and perfect like God? From a christian perspective we accept that God used people who were not perfect to carry out his work (the only exception geing Jesus who was perfect & sinless), and that in their weakness God's power can be displayed.
Anyway an interesting insight into Islamic beliefs - hopefully i'll get a chance to finish reading that page sometime this week. Thanks AcePlayer
Posted 10 May 2006 - 07:54 PM
Also do not forget that the cartoon is not just an insult to our prophet but an insult to all Muslims who try to live their lives the way prophet Muhammed (S.A.V.) did and who see him as a role model. If he is insulted as being a terrorist, it will inevitably offend millions of people who try to practise his teachings and follow the example that he has set. It is almost as bad as tagging all Muslims as terrorists, or even worse it can be just as bad accusing Islam of being the religion of terror which in itself couldn't have been any more far fetched from the reality of Islam.
The so-called western civilisation joyfully practising oh so wonderful freedom of speech and democracy is also a notion debateble in itself. In Germany Nazi ideology is banned to date, in 50's US of A people were hunted like scared rabbits if they were to even blush. To this day they keep people imprisoned for years without charges, way to go for human rights advocates, I wonder if those people are free to speak let alone speak their mind. One must understand that all countries/civilizations (even the ones that claim to be the knight in white shining armor of democracy ) have gone through many phases and when things are rosy it is easy to be self righteous. So spare us - the lowly mortal, intolerant eastern people - the " freedom of expression, genuine democracy the western way" speech please.

Some people have said that the artist and newspaper did not intend to offend. This is one of the most idiotic comments I have heard. You don't need to be a Muslim to see this is complete nonsense. Some members of this forum thankfully see more clearly and agree that its intention was to offend. They have even tried to explain this to others who have their heads fitted on backwards. It may be true that the newspaper never expected things to blow in it face this badly but offence was intended. You don't put a bomb on a man head that represents more than a billion people and think it will not cause offence. You have got to be living in a cave your whole life to think that.
Others have tried to lighten the matter as paulmer2003 has attempted by explaining that cartoons of Jesus are made all the time. So what? Maybe you all don't care about your Lord and Saviour but thank Allah we haven't stooped down to your level. As andazp explained, picture of Jesus are created in the millions and so are cartoons of him (in a lesser quantity). But there are no images of Muhammad. Nothing official anyway. Surely this must have crossed the artists and newspapers idiotic minds. Also what many don't seem to know is that the same newspaper previously decided NOT TO PUBLISH cartoons of Jesus because it was CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE. Double standards or what? Kick the Muslim down but don't touch anyone else. Why is offending Islam tolerated in this day and age but not Christianity? Not that it should be either. The Danes are said to be a tolerant society. Tolerant maybe but dame hypocrites also.
By creating these cartoons all they are managing to do is reinforcing the idea that Islam and terrorism are linked. And because of this misunderstanding we're attacked and abused on the streets. Muslim women are spat on the streets and even buses (as they have been) or their head scarf pulled. It's like the treatment Americans gave the blacks 50 years ago. I saw a program on the BBC where a Muslim white woman was being interviewed on the streets. As the interviewer and the Muslim woman were walking down the street, a man walked passed them and shouted "Muslims are terrorists" at the camera while standing near the Muslim woman. She almost at once began crying.
Posted 16 May 2006 - 02:34 PM
The Danish newspaper has said they would do the same for any religion. Islam, Christianity or anything else. What a pile of rubbish. They decided a few months back not to show a cartoon of Jesus as it would offend. So offending Christians is unthinkable but who cares about Muslims hearts.
So running 2 airliners into the WTC, and killing THOUSANDS of innocent people is ok? I don't know about you, but I don't know ANYONE who would embrace a Jihad religion that encourages taking innocent blood in the name of a holy war without cause.
I firsthand saw on Robot Chicken where they depicted a cartoon of Jesus slicing up Santa, and the Easter bunny with a samurai. I am a christian. I thought it was pretty sweet.
Is it ok to have an image of Jesus (pbuh) killing Iraq's (women and children) published on worldwide papers, just because Bush-face is a Christian?
In your own words. "lol. That's all I have to say."

The point is the cartoon was just as offensive to moderate muslims who don't support jihadists/extremists and who didn't deserve that kind of insult. Even if you maintain they are too sensitive, the newspaper was well aware of the offense it would cause, and that extremists would use it as an excuse for violence - so it was a very poor judgement call by the newspaper editors who should have been sensible enoughn to invoke some self censorship.
I wish people would get over 9/11 (it was 5 years ago, move on!!) and stop using it as an excuse to attack a religion that arguably had nothing whatsoever to do with the event anyway.

- Articulation Agreements
Articulation Agreements
Oakton Community College has several articulation (transfer) agreements with four-year colleges and universities throughout Illinois. Two such agreements are 2+2 Agreements and Dual Admission Agreements.
2+2 Agreements allow students to take two years of prescribed course work at Oakton, transfer these credits to a four year college or university, and then complete the last two years of a specified bachelor's degree program at the transfer institution.
Dual Admission Agreements allow students to be simultaneously accepted into Oakton and their intended four- year institution. Typically these acceptances occur at the beginning of the student's freshman year. Students must take their first two years of course work at Oakton and then are guaranteed admission to their intended four-year institution provided certain academic requirements are met (i.e., a minimum 2.0 GPA).
Note: Dual Admission Agreements may guarantee admission into the intended four-year institution, but do not guarantee admission into a specific major.
For more informaton, please contact an Academic Advisor.

Being a small business can be challenging in many ways, but advances in technology is streamlining and making business services more affordable for everyone, including entrepreneurs and family operated businesses.
A cloud phone system is one of these great advancements.
Twenty years ago only larger businesses could afford to install a professional phone system to handle incoming phone calls. Of course, this meant that someone in the Organization had to spend a substantial amount of money to purchase a PBX system to route phone calls, offer extensions, play music on hold, forward calls to the next available representative and accept voicemail messages.
Now all of that technology is available to anyone by way of a Cloud Business Phone system. Unlike many other phone systems being used today, you don't have to buy new handsets because it works with phones that you're already using – whether it's a LAN line or a cell phone.
Getting started is easy as selecting a business phone number – you can choose from a local phone number, a toll-free number or even a vanity phone number – and setting your preferences to begin routing phone calls within your organization. You can add extensions, offer customizable menu greetings for business hours as well as after hours navigation, allow callers to dial by extension, play audio clips as a navigation selection and offer music on hold, just to name a few calling features you – and your clients – are sure to enjoy.
If you want to upgrade your business' professional image, a cloud phone system is sure to be just the ticket to doing just that. Integration is simple and you can start taking business calls wherever you – or your employees – go. This gives you more flexibility to take care of the things you need to – and take business related phone calls even when you're away from your desk.
To find out more about this great new technology and how it can help your business grow, please visit: http://cloudbusinessphone.org to sign up today!

Obviously, Louisiana isn't looking at this as a collection problem. If it were, it would have instituted any number of convenient ways to automatically collect funds from non-paying parents, such as a school-based debit account, or a payment program that charges lunches to a credit card.
The point is it's not about the money. It's about getting into people's homes and evaluating their parenting skills, and then imposing government control on parents and their children.
In a news article, the communications director for Gov. Bobby Jindal was quoted as saying, "The intention of this bill is to ensure that children are not denied meals while at school. However, the part of this bill that includes reporting to [Department of Social Services] needs to be amended to line up with current law, which mandates school administrators to specifically report cases of child abuse or neglect."
Reporting parents to the government for possibly neglecting their children is a serious and extreme step, and not one that ought to be triggered by delinquent lunch money.
Because the next step will be to open those brown paper sacks some of us are sending from home to decide, based on what's in them, who else ought to get a call from the government.

it does not allow you to simply write the search path, you need to browse to it, and i could not browse to the whole device including the external sd card.

Arganzuela hotels
The Arganzuela district is a section of the city of Madrid that is home to several of the area's most impressive attractions and sights. Since the sector is located near the Manzanares River, it offers beautiful views of the waterfront, making it a prime tourist destination. Within the area visitors will find several points of interest, including the Bahia Madrid water facility, which offers swimming and water polo activities. Each September local residents in Arganzuela hold the Melonera Festival that includes, among other things, sporting and musical events, to which tourists are welcome to attend and join in on the festivities.
- Walk along the Arganzuela Footbridge, an artistic pedestrian bridge made of two enormous metal cones that intertwine over a walkway in Arganzuela Park.
- Tour the Matadero Madrid, a contemporary art space, to see exhibits of cutting-edge fashion and independent films from local artists.
- Visit the Arganzuela's Madrid Planetarium, where you can see projections of the night sky and exhibitions about planets in the solar system.
Flying into the Arganzuela area is pretty simple for visitors from other countries. Madrid-Barajas International Airport is the largest airport in the area and offers air travel from several international locations. After arriving, visitors can take a 24-hour express bus service directly to the city centre. The Cercanías Madrid commuter train service also offers direct connections to the city. One of the easiest ways to get around the Arganzuela district is for travellers to take line six of the underground Metro system, which stops at the Arganzuela-Planetario station and offers easy access to much of the area.

EOF - The Hardware Hacking Behind the Software Radio
A rotary encoder is a digital input device used to measure angular rotation and direction. It does this by sending two out-of-phase pulse trains. Direction is determined by which pulse arrives first. The pulses then can be counted to determine magnitude of rotation. There are many manufacturers and grades of rotary encoders. We used a unit by Bourns, part number PEC11-4225F-S0024. See the Radii home page for details on how to interface this encoder with a PIC.
When shopping for an LCD, first make sure it is HD44780-compatible. This is the most widely supported interface; anything else could slow down your efforts. The backlight type for the display is also important. Electro Luminescence—think Timex Indiglo—looks great but has unusual power requirements. The fastest and easiest way to go for backlighting is to use an LED backlit display. An LED backlight generally requires standard 5 VDC power. When shopping for an LCD with backlight, be sure to verify the type of backlight before bidding/buying.
The PIC interface levels are TTL-level outputs (that's transistor-transistor logic). With TTL, about 5V is on and about 0V is off. Interfacing this to RS-232/serial port (12V on/0V off) requires the use of a TI MAX232 dual-driver/receiver chip and a handful of resistors/capacitors. The chip does most of the work for you, but some assembly is required for the interface board and the serial cable used.

After stepping on the boat and saying goodbye to Bunaken, I started my little trip towards Lembeh.
After a short boat ride and a two hour drive by car I arrived at the harbour. Where i could see the boat that was to pick me up in the distance. In my imagination was the distance to Lembeh much greater but it took around 10 minutes to get from the one side to the other.

In the last week of my course I found time to relax a bit and mix "business with pleasure". I made a creation to put into the artificial house reef and sunk it.
I particularly liked the scuba review: all of a sudden you're the one that's teaching skills to others. Realising this put a smile on my face and I had a great time doing it.

My last week and a half (yes, I extended my stay by six days because I couldn't bear to leave) in Lembeh has been absolutely fantastic. I got the rest of my course requirements completed – guiding certified divers, scuba review, assisting on continued education and my skills and rescue assessment.

My first week of DMT was not all fun and games. I started directly with studying and watching the video's that come with it. Apart from that there was some diving.

It's been a long silence. And that can mean only one thing – we're busy, especailly with rebreathers and sidemount! So here's the Bunaken and Lembeh technical diving update for the past couple of weeks.
