Gregor's Grads
Gregor's Grads started in 2014 after seeing a need to help. We provide less fortunate high school students in Edmonton and area with a new suit for graduation. High school students' needs can often go unnoticed in the community as they often try to blend in and are very private regarding their financial situation. These young men are frequently forgotten when it comes to receiving much-needed assistance.
Gregor's Grads was formed to fill this gap by offering a helping hand to these deserving students. We believe that by providing financially-challenged students with a sense of normalcy and enabling them to participate in graduation will foster pride, self-esteem and allow them to move forward to the next phase in their lives with wonderful memories and a new suit they can call their own.
How can you help?
This year we are looking strictly for monetary donations. Last year, we realized that most of the donated suits we received were too big for high school boys. And we are extremely excited to announce that Mobil 1 and Lube City have generously partnered to be the main sponsors of the program.

Hemp Commission meets for 1st time in a decade; Starts planning ways to give industry a head start in Ky.
Kentucky could get the extra revenue it's looking for — not through increased taxes — but through the legalization of the hemp industry that could be an economic boon to the state, said members of the newly re-constituted Kentucky Industrial Hemp Commission.
Republican Agriculture Commissioner James Comer kicked off the first meeting of the Industrial Hemp Commission in nearly 10-years to a packed conference room in the Kentucky Department of Agriculture headquarters Wednesday.
Comer told the media and members of the commission that the number one priority of the Agriculture Department is to position Kentucky to be the first state to allow hemp farming once the federal government gives it the green light. Comer wants Kentucky's General Assembly to pass legislation laying the groundwork for the industry in the event that Congress lifts its decades-old ban on the plant.
Law enforcement agencies have been most reluctant about allowing hemp because it is part of the cannibas genus of plants, along withe marijuana. Comer has said in interviews that with strict state regulation, law enforcement would be able to ensure hemp fields aren't used to cover marijuana plants.
The state-sanctioned commission re-started without costing taxpayers a dime.
Kentucky Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is helping the Commission with a $50,000 contribution from his political action committee, RANDPAC. A California-based soap maker, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, is matching the donation with $50,000. Paul is also working to pass laws at the federal level allowing Kentucky to grow hemp.
The Hemp Industries Association estimates that U.S. retail sales of hemp products exceeded $452 million in 2011, although all the hemp used to make those products are imported.
Eric Steenstra of the national non-profit organization Vote Hemp said it's not fair that U.S. farmers are losing out to other nations like Canada because of legislation.
"We're already importing hundreds of millions of dollars of product from Canada, from Europe, from China, and it just doesn't seem right that American farmers, Kentucky farmers should be denied the right to do that," said Steenstra.
David Bronner of Bronner's Magic Soaps said he spends more than $100,000 on organic hemp oil from Canada, but wants to be the first company to sell hemp products made using hemp grown in the U.S.
Bronner's said his business has annual sales exceeding $50 million. And while buying U.S. Hemp could cost less than importing from Canada, he would be willing to buy 10 times as much.
The 19-member commission will work on drafting legislation to suggest to state lawmakers and work on public outreach.
The group includes legislators (Republican Sen. John Schickel of Union and Democratic Rep. Richard Henderson of Jeffersonville) as well as the Dean of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, a professor in the UK Agriculture Department, a Kentucky tobacco farmer, a member of the Kentucky State Police, Hemp growers co-op and several other interested parties appointed by the House Speaker and Senate President.
Comer said the Commission is slated to meet every quarter. But he said he wanted to bring the group back together soon to discuss potential legislation for the upcoming 2013 session in January.

The last time the Cleveland Browns won a regular-season opener, Jeff Garcia was the starting quarterback. The year was 2004 -- which may feel like ages for long-suffering Browns fans.
Could this be the year the Browns end their infamous streak?
Historically, the Browns are awful in season openers. The team is 1-11 in Week 1 games since returning to the NFL in 1999. The Chris Palmer era, Butch Davis era, Romeo Crennel era and Eric Mangini era all got off to losing starts.
Browns rookie head coach Pat Shurmur has a chance to accomplish what none of his predecessors were able to. Shurmur has a good opportunity to win his Cleveland coaching debut Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals at Browns Stadium.
It's a winnable game for the rebuilding Browns. The Bengals feel the same way and are rebuilding this year as well. It could be a long season for the loser of this year's "Battle of Ohio."
This game could have even more meaning for Cleveland. The Browns may dodge a huge bullet in Week 2 if future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning (neck) is unable to play. Most pegged it as an automatic loss for the Browns. But without Manning, the Colts are beatable.
But it all starts with the regular-season opener for Cleveland, which has been a huge hurdle. Can Shurmur, quarterback Colt McCoy and the rest of the Browns get over the Week 1 hump this year?

Christchurch is home to the most stressed people in the country, a survey has found.
More than 2000 New Zealanders took part in a health and wellbeing survey by Southern Cross Health Society that found 50 per cent of participants felt they worked too much. Women, people under 40 and those with children were more likely to be stressed, it found.
Stress levels were higher in Christchurch with 34 per cent of people saying they were stressed. In Dunedin 26 per cent of people were stressed while 33 per cent of Aucklanders and 28 per cent of Wellingtonians reported stress.
When asked to compare stress levels to one year ago, almost 40 per cent of Cantabrians felt more stressed while 41 per cent felt there had been no change in their stress levels.
People earning between $70,000 and $100,000 a year were most likely to feel their work-life balance was skewed in work's favour.
Southern Cross Health Society chief executive Peter Tynan said for those lacking balance, the holiday period could provide some welcome breathing space to examine the contributing factors.
"Often life is so busy, we just have to keep going. A break can be a great time to get some perspective, make plans and strategise for how to get that balance right," he said.

"I own a 2007 Chevy Trail Blazer and in November for no apparent reason the Valve Spring broke on the top of the engine. I took the car to a repair shop and they did not have the ability to repair my car. They totally disassembled my car and then told me it would be too much work, not to mention they did not have the proper tools to do the repair in the first place... I called my sister and she said "" get your car from there now, and tow it to Maurice's shop"". I called Maurice' shop and was amazed that he w as open at 7:30 am. I explained to him what my issue was and he was professional , calm and said "" I can fix it"". I had been praying that I would find the right man to fix my engine and was so happy. Other shops I called earlier would not touch my car saying they had never done a repair like this because it was extensive work requiring removal of the the entire engine...Apparently, they were afraid of the work that would be involved. To make a long story short, Maurice Fixed my Valve Spring in one day, also he did not have to take the entire engine out of the car. I recommend Maurice' s shop to anyone that has a engine problem and want to be treated fair and honestly."
Reply to your scam...you brought your in a 2007 trailblazer for repairs under your warrant...your warranty company wanted to inspect your failures due to the dollar amount involved, your truck was inspected and a report sent to warranty, but someone "drove your truck" from its parked spot...Ther is absolutely no way for a 2007 trailblazer to be stolen without keys unless it is towed off...Detroit required the owner of the vehicle to file report, we sent someone to make a statement on the report you filed...what you were refused were the keys and you were told that you could view the camera...your warranty claim had to be canceled which the shop would have made money from, far more than what a stolen truck could possibly have been sold for. Your financing was through Credit Acceptance and they also use this tactic to repossess cars, I know this because we install the units that track there cars...if the unit was not active the call to the warranty which is owned by them would have told them where the truck was
I have been using this mechanic garage for a couple of years now and they are the only shop I deal with. Their staff is professional and kind. The mechanics seem to be able to solve even the most difficult problem for very reasonable fees. They are a busy shop, but I consider it a good thing to see a company with that much business in this economy. This shop has an excellent reputation and for me, it is easy to see why. From my experience, it seems highly unlikly that they would "borrow parts" off a customers vehicle, seeing as they have a MASSIVE used parts in the same location. Seems like the previous reviewer had a unfortunate coincidence, but I would never change my opinion of this place based on the other review. My advice, try them for yourselves and you be the judge!
There are more than 700,000 auto service technicians and mechanics in the U.S. Finding the right one to repair a dent in your car door or fix an engine that won't start can be overwhelming, especially when it's an emergency. Review a few important facts about auto repair professionals and what you can do to get the best possible mechanic working on your vehicle's issues for a fair price.
Looking For Reliability
Unlike home repair services that evaluate a property, meet with homeowners and have time to prepare before their physical work begins, auto repair businesses are often asked to make fixes on the spot. If you come into a garage with a tire issue, the expectation is the mechanic will know how to correct that problem quickly.
That is why reliability is so vital when searching for a trusted auto repair shop. It may take going to several different mechanics before you find one you are truly comfortable with. Pose questions to this professional to find out what approach they will take to repair your car or what alternatives are available. Shopping around also gives you the best opportunity to find the cheapest rate or the fastest service, as some garages may be backed up with other vehicles that need repair first.
A recommended way to locate a trustworthy auto repair professional is to seek out customer reviews. Online sites offer honest opinions from real customers who have used a business. Read through this feedback to learn how a business operates and what you can expect if you were to take your vehicle there. Look for reviews about how quick maintenance was completed and if prices were fair. By learning what other people have said about a garage, you can gain a better idea if it's the right place to go when you have a car problem in need of fixing.
It can be difficult to know which automotive problems are serious enough to require expert assistance. A ripped seat cushion or broken radio don't involve safety and will not warrant enough of a problem that going into a garage is required. However, setbacks with brakes, lights and other parts that are vital to the safety of your car's driver and passengers, as well as others on the road, necessitate quick fixes. Many modern automobiles will notify drivers of an issue, in the form of a signal on the dashboard or a noise within the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, even if your vehicle does not appear to have any damage on the outside, it is generally recommended that you see a trusted auto repair professional. Internal damage may have occurred, or an important part may have been knocked out of place. Fixing these issues before driving much further can prevent further vehicle breakdowns in the future. In the case of a serious accident, a body shop can assess the problems and determine the best course of action for repairs, as well as evaluate how much they will cost.
Beyond that, regular checkups are recommended. Tires must be rotated, fluids needs to be replaced and the engine must be evaluated. After driving 25,000 miles, most auto dealers suggest having the vehicle checked out to ensure everything is running smoothly. Taking the car into the auto repair professional you trust will protect you from further problems down the road.
Not every type of auto repair work needs to be done by a certified mechanic. You can fix some of a vehicle's issues just by paying attention to how the automobile is running and having a basic understanding of auto repair. Look over the ways weather may impact your car and what preventative measures you can take to avoid having to take it into the shop. At the same time, be aware of mechanic scams that can impact your experience.
Preventing Trips To The Professional
Some fixes to your car can be done without paying a specialist. Issues like replacing oil and air filters are relatively simple, with instructions provided in the owner's manual on how to make these changes. The same goes for replacing broken windshield wipers or burnt-out headlights. Such issues should be repaired quickly to guarantee safety, but don't require a visit to a garage. By handling these types of tasks on your own, you'll gain a better understanding for how your car operates and save time and money.
Along with understanding how to fix manageable vehicle issues that may arise, taking preventative measures to avoid future problems is a valuable time saver. Many problem-solving best practices are related to the seasons. Your vehicle will be in different conditions in the winter than in the summer, meaning it requires a different type of preparation.
In the spring and summer, you want to be sure your air conditioner and cooling systems work correctly. Given the high temperatures the vehicle will be exposed to, overheating is a common problem. Look over the system by ensuring there is enough coolant available. If it needs to be refilled, it is best to open the hood and add more to the car before it gets too warm out. Also, clean out fan ducts and other ventilation sources necessary for summertime driving.
For winter driving, features such as the defroster, heater and exhaust system are paramount. Look in your owner's manual for specific directions on how features should be checked and repaired. Many newer cars have a cabin air filter that can be replaced when needed, allowing warm air to continue to flow in. Also, check your tires before winter driving, as they need to be at the proper pressure to perform well on snow and ice.
Avoiding Scams
There is a common worry among many people that auto repair professionals take advantage of the general public. Because so many people are unaware of how to fix the problems in their vehicle, they are nervous of being overcharged by mechanics or worried that the improper work is being done.
While the great majority of professionals in the industry are honest, hard-working people, a few bad apples can ruin everything. You should be extra careful when first visiting a mechanic to guarantee that the price you're charged and maintenance the vehicle receives are fair.
Among the common scams pulled are needless repairs, where a garage charges you for work that isn't necessary. Another popular one is attracting customers through a cheap oil change or tire pressure check. Then, when you are in the shop and your car is being repaired, they give you a long list of other corrections they'd like to make, therefore boosting the total cost of your bill.
The best way to combat these types of problems is getting a written estimate before work is done. That way, you can see how much repairs are expected to cost. If the final bill is higher than the estimate projected, ask to specifically see the work. Make sure information is put in writing as well. If a problem remains, you can have proof that work was not done to your satisfaction.
By working closely with an auto repair professional and doing some of the tune-up work on your own, you will be less likely to fall for these scams. At the same time, you'll be able to drive out with a clean and healthy vehicle, thanks to the repairs made by a trained professional.

I don't aspire to want to know anymore once I realised this. It was then that my appreciation for living things was elevated, especially towards humans. Someone, somebody or something made us. They designed us different from all other forms of life. We are the only living creature on this earth that knows he will die and subsequently lives his life in accordance to this knowledge. We are preoccupied with asking questions that can and never will be answered and in doing so miss the whole experience of just living. We destroy in the name progress and treat out birth place as a disposable object. No other living creature in the world does this. We should let go of our egos and see life for what it really is, limited and precious. What happen when we die is irrelevant. What does it matter if there is an afterlife or not? Would it be any better than this physical life? We don't even get along in the present. Sad.
Any attempt to concretely define who made us, what is our duty, what is our destiny is nothing more than speculation. By accepting this and just living you will become more in tuned to the universe and see the beauty of your fellow brothers and sisters. Who knows, the world just might become a better place!

Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' Accused as a Rip-Off
Led Zeppelin may soon face a long-overdue trial over the originality of their 1971 hit "Stairway to Heaven". Rock band Spirit accused the Jimmy Page band of ripping their 1968 song "Taurus" and using it as the intro to their most famous song.
A lawyer representing late Spirit guitarist Randy California is preparing an injunction against the upcoming reissue of "Led Zeppelin IV". Per Business Week, attorney Francis Alexander Molofiy said, "The idea behind this is to make sure that Randy California is given a writing credit on 'Stairway to Heaven'. It's been a long time coming."
Spirit was Led Zeppelin's opening act in 1968 at the Denver Auditorium Arena. "Taurus" was one of the songs that Spirit played that night. "It was such a pretty moment, and it would typically come after a big forceful number and always got a good response," Spirit co-founder Mark Andes said.
They played three more gigs together in 1968 and 1969. Led Zeppelin had even played a medley of songs that included Spirit's "Fresh-Garbage", a song that appeared on the same LP side as "Taurus".
Page had always claimed that he wrote "Stairway to Heaven" in 1970 at a cottage in Wales. Before his death, California gave an interview to Listener magazine, saying, "The guys made millions of bucks on it and never said 'Thank you,' never said, 'Can we pay you some money for it?' It's kind of a sore point with me. Maybe someday their conscience will make them do something about it."
It is only now that California's friends and family could sue for writing credit because they did not have the money for attorney fee. California had a rather tragic life outside Spirit. He would play at restaurants in exchange for food in the '90s. He died at the age of 45 in 1997, drowning while trying to rescue his son from a sea current.

Skip to comments.A killing commanded by Islamic law - (not for the faint hearted)
Posted on 06/01/2005 10:12:48 PM PDT by CHARLITE
Within an hour, the entire village would learn that the 25-year-old married woman had been discovered in a darkened nearby hut with her lover. Within two days, Amina was dead -- killed by her fellow villagers April 20 after the men of the community ruled that she had violated Islamic law by having an affair with a neighbor....
Soon Amina's father, the elders and a crowd of villagers had gathered outside. Mohammad unlocked the chain and flung open his front door. At the back of the room sat his son, Karim, on a floor cushion.
Next to him sat Amina. Her expression was once again blank, Aslam said.
It threw Aslam into a rage.
"I shouted, 'What is she doing here? Give her to me! I will kill her!' " he recounted last week. "I was so shocked, and my Islamic dignity was so offended."
But the other villagers restrained him, Aslam and other witnesses said.
"We told him, 'No, no! This should be handled by sharia now,' " his brother Hashem recalled, referring to the Islamic legal code.
"Fine, I will give her over to sharia then," Aslam said he responded. "Whatever sharia says, I will do it."...
Under sharia, the punishment for adultery is death by stoning. But the code requires that there be undeniable proof of the crime -- for instance, multiple witnesses to the sex act, a confession, or other signs such as an inexplicable pregnancy....
But no one involved disputes that the villagers were unanimous in their view that according to the dictates of Islam, the proper resolution of the case would be for Karim, as an unmarried man, to be lashed and Amina, as a married woman, to be stoned to death.
Early that afternoon, one of the mullahs went to fetch a stick with which to whip Karim as Yousaf took his leave of the villagers.
Then they watched Yousaf's turban slowly vanish over a mountain path and, along with it, Amina's last hope.
There are two, conflicting accounts of Amina's death.
According to her great-uncle Assan, after the shura reached its verdict, a group of villagers came to the dark storage room and took her away to be stoned.
"She knew what was going to happen to her," Assan said softly. "She was screaming and sobbing."
Amina's paternal uncle, Mohammad Azim, said he watched as the villagers forced Amina down a muddy path toward a patch of soft earth along a riverbank surrounded by stones, a few yards from the edge of the village.
It was a beautiful spot, shaded by an enormous tree and offering a charming view of the village clinging to the mountainside.
It was also an ideal place for a stoning.
"They dug a hole in the ground right here," Azim said, pointing to a spot in the clearing six days later. "Then they buried Amina up to her waist, with her arms pinned by her side."
Azim said Amina's hair was covered in a head scarf, and that she was crying in terror as nearly a hundred men gathered in a circle around her and began throwing small rocks at her head.
"I couldn't watch for more than a few minutes," Azim said. Instead, he said, he walked up to Amina's parents' house and waited with them in silence during the two hours it took to kill her.
Several villagers and Amina's mother said that they, too, believe she was stoned. And a few said they had seen the bloody hole after she was removed from it.
But no one else would admit to witnessing the actual stoning, much less participating in it. And the ground where Amina was allegedly buried to her waist showed little sign of disturbance six days after her death -- possibly because, as Azim and other villagers contend, they had refilled the hole and then the river had flooded over it, or possibly because the stoning never happened.
Several other villagers, including Amina's uncle, Hashem, tell a very different story.
Hashem said the villagers handed Amina over to her uncles, including himself and Azim. Their original intention was to hang her, Hashem said. But as they were leading her away, they became increasingly angry and started to beat her with their fists.
"It was dark," he said. "All of us were striking her, and then she fainted and we saw that she was on the ground and not breathing. Maybe she had a heart attack."
Whatever the means of her death, Amina's parents said her bruised corpse was returned to them sometime between afternoon and evening prayers that day.
Amina's mother, Nessa, said she did not grieve.
"My daughter was a criminal and a sinner who brought dishonor on my name," Nessa said hotly several days later. "And I should be blamed for her death, not anyone else, because I told my tribe they could kill her. I forgave them for spilling her blood."...
If Amina had been allowed to live, Nessa added, the shame of it would have forced Nessa to leave the only home she had ever known and a valley in which her family had lived for generations.
"But now I can walk everywhere in the village with my head high. . . . I'm happy. Extremely, extremely happy," she shouted. The tone in her voice betrayed no joy.
Then Nessa covered her face with her hands....
Amina's father Aslam, however, was released from police custody in Faizabad after a night of questioning, on grounds that he was not directly responsible.
Just before embarking on the long walk back to Gazon, he sat on a metal chair in a room in the police station, reflecting on all that had happened in the last several days.
Unlike the feelings of his wife Nessa, Aslam's anger at Amina had by now given way to sorrow.
"I feel so sad for her. She was so young," he said, as his eyes grew glassy with tears. "I really miss her now. . . . I will miss her voice, and our conversations in the evenings."
There was much he wished he could go back and change. "If only she had told me that she did not want to go back to her husband," he said. "I would have done something about it. I would have counseled her."
But he said he harbored no doubt that she deserved to die after she admitted to committing adultery.
"There was no option. This is what Islam commands us."
Diversity and tolerance somewhat antithetical to TJ eh?
Absolute barbarians.
ROP bump
Thanks for the ping!
... and, meanwhile: liberals and leftists everywhere are shrieking like hysterical schoolgirls over the possibility that -- somewhere; somehow -- a Koran may end up being "desecrated."
"There was no option. This is what Islam commands us."
Islam also commands that the infidel be 'smote' on the neck, have his/her arms and legs on opposite sides hacked off, be bound and thrown into the fire, and when the time comes they think they can get away with it in the West (just as they are doing right now in the Sudan,) they will try to do it to you and I, yours and mine.
Islam is a thousand times more evil, than anything these sanctimonious sonovabitches rant against.
FCUL, I spat my coffee out reading that! As sad as the whole sorry saga is.
If one believes that there truly is a "devil," then this must be the manifestation of the devil, in millions of human beings who are clearly possessed, in the most evil sense of the term.
No shortage of outrage over the (alleged) flushing of a Koran or two by U.S. troops, but not a peep about the murder of countless innocents by barbarian cultists.
these idiot gay-loving liberals don't understand that if these wild-eyed islamic fanatics ever control the world, their stupid butts will be FIRST to be minus a head.

Quran 33:51 You may have whomever you desire; there is no blame.
Tabari VIII:187 The [sixty-two-year old] Messenger of Allah married Mulaykah. She was young and beautiful. One of the Prophets wives came to her and said, Are you not ashamed to marry a man who killed your father during the day he conquered Mecca? She therefore took refuge from him.
Quran 66:1 O Prophet! Why forbid yourself that which Allah has made lawful to you? You seek to please your consorts.
Quran 66:4 If you (women) turn in repentance to him, it would be better. Your hearts have been impaired, for you desired (the ban) [on how many girls Muhammad could play with at a time]. But if you back each other up against (Muhammad), truly Allah is his protector, and Gabriel, and everyone who believesand furthermore, the angels will back (him) up.
Quran 66:5 Maybe, if he divorces you (all), Allah will give him in exchange consorts better than yousubmissive, faithful, obedient, adorers who worship, who travel, and are inclined to fastingpreviously married or virgins.
Tabari VIII:117 Dihyah had asked the Messenger for Safiyah when the Prophet chose her for himself. Muhammad gave Dihyah her two cousins instead. Ishaq:511 When he protested, wanting to keep Safiyah for himself, the Apostle traded for Safiyah by giving Dihyah her two cousins. The women of Khaybar were distributed among the Muslims.
Bukhari:V5B59N524 The Muslims said among themselves, Will Safiyah be one of the Prophets wives or just a lady captive and one of his possessions?
Tabari VIII:110 When Abu Sufyan learned that the Prophet had taken her, he said, That stallions nose is not to be restrained!
Bukhari:V4B52N143/V5B59N523 When we reached Khaybar, Muhammad said that Allah had enabled him to conquer them. It was then that the beauty of Safiyah was described to him. Her husband had been killed [by Muhammad], so Allahs Apostle selected her for himself. He took her along with him till we reached a place where her menses were over and he took her for his wife, consummating his marriage to her, and forcing her to wear the veil.
Tabari VIII:122/Ishaq:515 Muhammad commanded that Safiyah should be kept behind him and he threw his cloak over her. Thus the Muslims knew that he had chosen her for himself.
Ishaq:517 When the Apostle took Safiyah on his way out of town, she was beautified and combed, putting her in a fitting state for the Messenger. The Apostle passed the night with her in his tent. Abu Ayyub, girt with his sword, guarded the Apostle, going round the tent until he saw him emerge in the morning. Abu said, I was afraid for you with this woman for you have killed her father, her husband, and her people.Quran 33:30 O Consorts of the Prophet! If any of you are devout, obedient, and submissive in the service to Allah and His Messenger, and does good, to her shall We grant her reward twice. We have prepared for her a generously rich provision.
Tabari IX:126 The Messenger of Allah married fifteen women. He combined eleven at a time and left behind nine.
Ishaq:311 The Apostle saw Ummul when she was a baby crawling before his feet and said, If she grows up, I will marry her. But he died before he was able to do so.
Tabari VII:7 The Prophet married Aisha in Mecca three years before the Hijrah, after the death of Khadija. At the time she was six. Ishaq:281 When the Apostle came to Medina he was fifty-three.
Tabari IX:128 When the Prophet married Aisha she very young and not yet ready for consummation.
Bukhari:V9B87N139-40 Allahs Apostle told Aisha, You were shown to me twice in my dreams [a.k.a. sexual fantasies]. I beheld a man or angel carrying you in a silken cloth. He said to me, She is yours, so uncover her. And behold, it was you. I would then say to myself, If this is from Allah, then it must happen.
Tabari IX:131 My mother came to me while I was being swung on a swing between two branches and got me down. My nurse wiped my face with some water and started leading me. When I was at the door she stopped so I could catch my breath. I was then brought in while the Messenger was sitting on a bed in our house. My mother made me sit on his lap. Then the men and women got up and left. The Prophet consummated his marriage with me in my house when I was nine years old.
Tabari IX:133 Juwayriyyah was chosen by the Messenger for himself on the day of the Muraysi raid from the captives. Muhammad married Umm, who had embraced Christianity.
Tabari IX:134 Muhammad took Zaynab [his daughter-in-law] but Allah did not find any fault in the [incestuous] relationship and ordered the marriage.
Tabari IX:135 When the Prophet scrutinized the captives on the day of Khaybar, he threw his cloak over Safayah. Thus she was his chosen one. Tabari IX:139 The Messenger married Ghaziyyah after the news of her beauty and skill had reached him.
Tabari IX:137 Allah granted Rayhanah of the [Jewish] Qurayza to His Messenger as booty [but only after she had been forced to watch him decapitate her father and brother, seen her mother hauled off to be raped, and her sisters sold into slavery].
Tabari IX:137 Mariyah, a Copt slave, was presented to the Prophet. She was given to him by Muqawqis, the ruler of Alexandria.
Tabari IX:138 The Prophet married Aliyyah, a Bakr woman. He gave her gifts for divorce and left her. He also married Qutaylah, but he died before he could consummate the marriage.
Tabari IX:139 Layla approached the Prophet while his back was to the sun and clapped him on his shoulder. He asked her who it was and she replied, I am the daughter of one who competes with the wind. I am Layla. I have come to offer myself to you. He replied, I accept. [Layla shared her story with her parents.] They said, What a bad thing you have done! You are a self-respecting girl, but the Prophet is a womanizer.
Tabari IX:147 A eunuch named Mubur was presented to Muhammad along with two slave girls. One he took as a concubine, the other he gave to Haasn.
Ishaq:186 He took me into Paradise and there I saw a damsel with dark red lips. I asked her to whom she belonged, for she pleased me much when I saw her.
Bukhari:V4B52N211 I participated in a Ghazwa [raid] with the Prophet. I said, Apostle, I am a bridegroom. He asked me whether I had married a virgin or matron. I answered, A matron. He said, Why not a virgin who would have played with you? Then you could have played with her. Apostle! My father was martyred and I have some young sisters, so I felt it not proper that I should marry a young girl as young as them.
Tabari VIII:100 The Messenger sent Hatib to Muqawqis, the ruler of Alexandria. Hatib delivered the letter of the Prophet, and Muqawqis gave Allahs Apostle four slave girls.
Bukhari:V9B86N98 The Prophet said, A virgin should not be married till she is asked for her consent. O Apostle! How will the virgin express her consent? He said, By remaining silent.
Bukhari:V5B59N342 Umar said, When my daughter Hafsa lost her husband in the battle of Badr, Allahs Apostle demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him.
Tabari VIII:1 In this year the Messenger married Zaynab bt. Jahsh [a first cousin: Allahs Messenger came to the house of Zayd bin [son of] Muhammad. Perhaps the Messenger missed him at that moment. Zaynab, Zayds wife, rose to meet him. She was dressed only in a shift . She jumped up eagerly and excited the admiration of Allahs Messenger, so that he turned away murmuring something that could scarcely be understood. However, he did say overtly, Glory be to Allah Almighty, who causes hearts to turn! So Zayd went to Muhammad. Prophet, I have heard that you came to my house. Why didnt you go in? [Dad,] Perhaps Zaynab has excited your admiration, so I will leave her.
Tabari VIII:4 One day Muhammad went out looking for Zayd. Now there was a covering of haircloth over the doorway, but the wind had lifted the covering so that the doorway was uncovered. Zaynab was in her chamber, undressed, and admiration for her entered the heart of the Prophet. After that Allah made her unattractive to Zayd.
Tabari VIII:3 Zayd left her, and she became free. While the Messenger of Allah was talking with Aisha, a fainting overcame him. When he was released from it, he smiled and said, Who will go to Zaynab to tell her the good news? Allah has married her to me. Then the Prophet recited [Quran 33] to the end of the passage. Aisha said, I became very uneasy because of what we heard about her beauty and another thing, the loftiest of matters, what Allah had done for her by personally giving her to him in marriage. I said that she would boast of it over us.
Quran 33:4 Allah has not made your wives whom you divorce your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths.
Quran 33:6 The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than they have on themselves, and his wives are their mothers.... This is written in the Book.
Quran 33:37 You hid in your mind and your heart that which Allah was about to manifest: you feared the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zayd had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We gave her to you, joining her in marriage to you: in order that there may be no difficulty or sin for the Believers in the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allahs command must be fulfilled.
Quran 33:38 There can be no difficulty, harm, or reproach to the Prophet in doing what Allah has ordained to him as a duty. It was the practice (approved) of Allah amongst those of old that have passed away. And the commandment of Allah is a decree determined. (It is the practice of those) who deliver the Messages of Allah, and fear Him. Allah keeps good account. Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Last of the Prophets with the Seal: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.
Quran 33:48 And obey not (the behests) of the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites. Disregard their noxious talk and heed not their annoyances, but put thy trust in Allah. For enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.
Quran 33:50 O Prophet! We have made lawful to you all the wives to whom you have paid dowers; and those whom your hands possess out of the prisoners of war spoils whom Allah has assigned to you; and daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of your uncles and aunts, who migrated with you; and any believing woman if the Prophet wishes her; this is a privilege for you only, and not for the rest of the Believers; We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom they possess; in order that there should be no difficulty for you and that you should be free from blame.
Quran 33:51 You may put off whom you please, and you may take to you whomever you desire. You may defer any of them you please, and you may have whomever you desire; there is no blame on you if you invite one who you had set aside. It is no sin.
Quran 33:28 O Prophet, say to your wives and consorts: If you desire this worlds life and its glittering adornment, then come! I will provide them for your enjoyment and set you free in a handsome manner. And if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the latter abode, then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good-doers an immense reward.
Quran 33:30 O Consorts of the Prophet! If any of you are guilty of unseemly conduct, shamelessness, or lewdness, the punishment will be doubled, and that is easy for Allah. But any of you that is devout, obedient, and submissive in the service to Allah and His Messenger, and does good, to her shall We grant her reward twice. We have prepared for her a generously rich provision.
Quran 33:32 Consorts of the Prophet! You are not like any of the (other) women. Fear and keep your duty, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire. Stay quietly in your apartment. Make not a dazzling display like that of the former times of Ignorance. Perform the devotion, pay the zakat; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah wishes to cleanse you with a thorough cleansing. And bear in mind that which is recited in your houses of the revelations of Allah and the wisdom.
Quran 33:36 It is not fitting for a Muslim man or woman to have any choice in their affairs when a matter has been decided for them by Allah and His Messenger. They have no option. If any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a wrong Path.
Quran 4:23 Prohibited to you are: your mothers, daughters, sisters.... Also (prohibited are) women already married, except slaves who are captives. [Rape is okay with Team Islam.]
Bukhari:V5B59N459 I entered the Mosque, saw Abu, sat beside him and asked about sex. Abu Said said, We went out with Allahs Apostle and we received female slaves from among the captives. We desired women and we loved to do coitus interruptus.
I'm with you Hitman. I have been disgusted by lot of those kind of comments also.
Have you been accused of being a bleeding heart liberal because of it also?
It takes a village...
Isn't it interesting how in TROP men only get "lashes" but women get killed?
The death cult eats its own.
Thanx for the link to the 'Stones' video. Ir seems they use the same cameraman all over the middle east and he needs to take a course in cine skills, or stop bloody shaking.
Or the now grown-up child of such a skank...
Sooner, rather than later.
Yes. Our principles are spelled out in our founding documents. Too bad immigrants and their progeny are not required to read them and sign on to them as a requirement of citizenship here.
Really not all that complicated. Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and justice for all under the rules of OUR law.
Very interesting.
If current events [the "Road-MAp"] in Israel continue, the Jewish State will become a vague memory, a collection of papers gathering dust in the archives of some museum. Then the West will feel the full brunt of Islamic horror.
The Muslims are prepared for the takeover....we in the West are helping them immeasurably.

I share your attitude on the open door policy. Nevertheless, there's quite a gap between stoning and the finger wagging you prescribe. There's something wrong with *you* if you think violating a contract should be essentially penalty free.
Who said penalty free? She wouldn't be married to a great guy like me anymore - that's damn near torturous, I think. ;-)
Guess ya got me on that one.
Here's another story on that site we should be looking at too:
Definitely relates to this topic!
A little sense of humor goes a very long way, especially when a love interest walks out on you. :-)
Chaplin said that life is a tragedy when seen in closeup, but a comedy in long shot. I am inclined to agree with him! ;-)
It was also an ideal place for a stoning
Be aware! This could come to America. Coming to Canada if not already there.
* LUC does not apply to leaders or overlords
My Islamic dignity was so offended
The traditional seriousness of adultery is that it leads to false claims against property and status or class; powerful stuff in strongly hierarchical societies.

I like it a lot. Without those ice blocks on the foreground, maybe it was a little bit on the dull side, so it was a very good idea to include them. Too bad for they being out of focus and the lack of detail on those slopes beside the glacier. The contrast could be better, as we can see in Leo's WS.

Travel Troubles
Japan's two leading airlines have grounded their fleets of Boeing 787s after one of the Dreamliner passenger jets made an emergency landing, the latest and most serious in a series of incidents to heighten safety concerns over a plane many see as the future of commercial aviation.
All Nippon Airways said instruments aboard a domestic flight indicated a battery error, triggering emergency warnings to the pilots. It said the battery in the forward cargo hold was the same lithium-ion type as one involved in a fire on another Dreamliner at a United States airport last week.
The carrier grounded all 17 of its 787s, and Japan Airlines suspended its 787 flights scheduled for Wednesday. ANA said its planes could be back in the air as soon as Thursday once checks were completed. The two carriers operate around half of the 50 Dreamliners delivered by Boeing to date.
Wednesday's incident, described by a transport ministry official as "highly serious" - language used in international safety circles as indicating there could have been an accident - is the latest in a line of mishaps - fuel leaks, a battery fire, wiring problem, brake computer glitch and cracked cockpit window - to hit the world's first mainly carbon-composite airliner in recent days.
"I think you're nearing the tipping point where they need to regard this as a serious crisis," said Richard Aboulafia, a senior analyst with the Teal Group in the US. "This is going to change people's perception of the aircraft if they don't act quickly."
The 787, which has a list price of US$207 million (NZ$246 million), represents a leap in the way planes are designed and built, but the project has been plagued by cost overruns and years of delays. Some have suggested Boeing's rush to get planes built after those delays resulted in the recent problems, a charge the company strenuously denies.
Both the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said they were monitoring the latest incident as part of a comprehensive review of the Dreamliner announced late last week.
ANA flight 692 left Yamaguchi Airport in western Japan shortly after 8am local time (noon NZT) bound for Haneda Airport near Tokyo, a 65-minute flight. About 18 minutes into the flight, at 9000 metres, the plane began a descent, cutting its altitude to 6000 metres in about four minutes. It made an emergency landing 16 minutes later, according to flight-tracking website Flightaware.com.
A spokesman for Osaka airport authority said the plane landed at Takamatsu at 8.45am All 129 passengers and eight crew evacuated via the plane's inflatable chutes. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said five people were slightly injured.
At a news conference - where ANA's vice-president Osamu Shinobe bowed deeply in apology - the carrier said a battery in the forward cargo hold triggered emergency warnings to the pilots, who decided on the emergency action.
"There was a battery alert in the cockpit and there was an odd smell detected in the cockpit and cabin, and (the pilot) decided to make an emergency landing," Shinobe said.
Passengers leaving the ANA flight told local TV there was an odour like burning plastic on the plane as soon as it took off. "There was a bad smell as soon as we started and before we made the emergency landing there was an announcement and the stewardess' voice was shaking, so I thought this was serious," one passenger told TBS TV.
Shigeru Takano, a senior safety official at the Civil Aviation Bureau, said that an emergency light indicating a malfunction had gone off in the cockpit, followed by another warning light indicating smoke. Checks showed a battery error and smoke was smelled in the cockpit, he added.
One man told a local broadcaster there was a burning smell in the plane. "There was a strong, burning smell, but the smoke appeared after they opened the emergency doors, after we landed," he said.
Marc Birtel, a Boeing spokesman, told Reuters: "We've seen the reports, we're aware of the events and are working with our customer."
In Asia, only the Japanese and Air India have the Dreamliner in service, but other airlines are among those globally to have ordered around 850 of the new aircraft.
Air New Zealand is to start flying a larger variant of the Dreamliner, known as the 787-9, next year, Radio New Zealand reported.
Australia's Qantas Airways said its order for 15 Dreamliners remained on track, with its Jetstar subsidiary due to take delivery of the first of the aircraft in the second half of this year.
India's aviation regulator said it was reviewing the Dreamliner's safety and would talk to parts makers, but had no plans to ground the six planes operated by state-owned Air India. "We are not having any problem with our Dreamliners. The problems we had earlier were fixed," Arun Mishra, Director General of Civil Aviation, told Reuters.
United Airlines, the only U.S. carrier currently flying the 787, said it was not taking any immediate action in response to the latest incident. "We are looking at what is happening with ANA and we will have more information tomorrow," a spokeswoman said.
The Dreamliner's problems echo those of rival Airbus, which a year ago survived a crisis of public confidence after a series of incidents with wing cracks on its A380, the world's largest passenger jet. Those problems tested the manufacturer's relations with airlines, but no plane orders were cancelled.

@Everyone: Speaking of which, I'm going to go ahead and give an early first warning that the day is drawing to an end. In the near future you can expect the Thanksgiving event to start, after which the IC day will effectively end.

Counterfeit infant formula threat
'We must do more to protect the brand'ANDREA FOX
Relevant offers
Synlait says exporters of bogus Kiwi milk powder could seriously harm the New Zealand brand, Andrea Fox reports.
Kiwi dairy companies are calling for the Government and dairy industry to collaborate to tackle potentially serious New Zealand brand damage from a growing number of infant formula counterfeiters exporting into China.
But the Primary Industries Ministry says while it has rigorous standards and programmes that New Zealand companies exporting infant formula and milk powders must meet, it has no control over counterfeiting.
Canterbury dairy processor and exporter Synlait and Open Country Dairy, the country's second-biggest export processor after Fonterra, has told Fairfax it has become concerned this year at the "proliferation" of infant formula brand traders claiming New Zealand origins.
Fonterra, which controls 90 per cent of the country's raw milk supply and sells milk powder to New Zealand-based companies that blend and package dairy products for export, did not respond to questions.
An industry source said Fonterra once had a policy of not selling to domestic companies.
Demand for New Zealand milk powder has surged after the 2008 melamine infant formula poisoning scandal in China. New Zealand supermarkets now limit the number of cans of baby-milk powder that can be bought at one visit.
Synlait marketing manager Michael Wan said the activity of some infant formula exporters could erode New Zealand's brand image.
"New Zealand as a whole has an opportunity to look at what is going on. There is a debate to be had about the use of the claim 'made in New Zealand'. There needs to be wider discussion in the New Zealand dairy industry on how to define what is 'made in New Zealand'."
Wan said Synlait knew of at least 35 brands created that claimed to be manufactured in New Zealand. Some had no supply chain, using a third-party facility to blend and can ingredients.
He said the Primary Industries Ministry and dairy companies needed to be "first cabs off the rank" in addressing the issue.
Open Country chairman Laurie Margrain wants the problem discussed at the upcoming meeting of the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand.
"We think New Zealand is a brand. We must do more to protect the brand."
Meanwhile, the ministry said it was in formal contact with China's Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine over infant formula testing method differences after the Chinese agency in its latest quarterly report said it had rejected a 3-tonne consignment of infant formula after its trace element levels were considered to be inconsistent with Chinese requirements. The consignment had passed New Zealand requirements.
The ministry said the difference in test results was likely because of China's small sampling size. Fairfax NZ

Arrest made in armed robbery fatal crash
BATON ROUGE - An arrest has been made in the crash that killed a man while three armed robbery suspects were fleeing from police.
Baton Rouge Police have charged 17-year-old Melvin Morgan with armed robbery, aggravated flight, hit and run, and manslaughter.
The crash took place Monday night, killing 37-year-old Elvin Dunn. Police said three men were in the car that crashed into Dunn's vehicle, and that they were involved in an armed robbery that afternoon in which a cell phone was stolen at gunpoint.
The suspects were fleeing from police for a vehicle violation. After the crash, the suspects took off on foot.
The entire incident remains under investigation.
