Denver (AP) A jury has returned several guilty verdicts in the case of a man who was shot by Denver police officers last year during a botched holdup at a restaurant.
The Denver District Attorney's Office says jurors deliberated for more than four hours Tuesday before convicting 27-year-old Phuong Van Dang of two counts of attempted first-degree assault, two counts of attempted second-degree assault, 11 counts of attempted aggravated robbery and other charges.
Prosecutors say Dang entered the Ha Noi restaurant at lunchtime on Nov. 14, 2007, and pointed a shotgun at customers. Two officers who happened to be eating at the restaurant exchanged shots with him.
Authorities say Dang and three customers were wounded by police bullets.
Dang remains in custody and faces charges as a habitual criminal. A status hearing is set for Friday.

This was sooo good! I used about 1/2 lb of chicken breasts and cut it up before seasoning and sauteing. There was extra sauce, but that's ok - I hate when there's not enough! Still came out at only 5 points per serving. made for My 3 Chefs 2012
Delicious! I used Pheasant instead of chicken...I also cut the recipe in half...next time I will keep the amount of sauce the same so we get more of the tasty liquid...made for Spring 2014 PAC..,

this may be a bit more complicated than I though, so hopefully someone has experience using this already. well, I'm trying to follow the hover menu tutorial on wpdesigner.com, but it just isn't working. I'm pretty sure it is because I don't know where to place the div class tags in my index file. since I am trying to hover over each post, which is a thumb image, rather than hover over a block of text or an image that I placed on a page, I think it is causing the problem. I don't know what php code to wrap in the div tags to make the hover work. I have tried many different ways to place the tags on my index page; wrap the loop and hover the class for the posts, wrap nothing and only hover the posts, and so on. but it only results in my thumbnails not displaying correctly.
here is my blog: http://portfoliosfriend.com/
and what I'd like to achieve is to hover over each thumbnail and have it display the post title and the post ratings in the hover box.
I would just contact SP at wpdesigner.com, but as many of you might know he no longer owns it and the site has been dead for months, so I'm kinda stuck. I know this is a big help request, but I'd greatly appreciate any advice. thanks!
oh and I'm using firefox, not IE, so I know it is not the fault of the csshover.htc file.

D7000 review
In case you haven't seen it yet:
According to this initial review, the D7000 falls in the middle between the D90 and D700 in many areas. This is rather good for a DX camera in the D90 price range. But those of us expecting D700-like performance in a smaller body may need to wait a bit longer. Folks over at Nikon Cafe reported similar findings.
The one area where the reviewer is not happy is image sharpness, but this could be attributed to the high pixel density which easily shows any lens imperfections.

The one area where the reviewer is not happy is image sharpness, but this could be attributed to the high pixel density which easily shows any lens imperfections.
Any way to compensate or correct for this? I am thinking about the D7000 but hesitant due to its high pixel count. Thoughts?

The problem is he did not use the same settings he did for the d90. A common complaint at first with the D90 was softness compared to the prior cameras in default settings. Everyone quickly learned to increase PC sharpening and suddenly the bad camera turned into the class leader.
He admitted he only set it at 5 which is the default for standard so even setting it at 6 would have compensated for the AA filter better.
A person on DPR posted images set at 6 and they were beautiful, whereas those who used default settings were seeing soft images, just like we did with the D90 when it was introduced. Using RAW, which I do exclusively now, every D90 shot during import is automatically sharpened in my import profile in Light Room 3 to make it closer to the sharpness of the JPG images with the PC Standard set at 6 in the camera.
Another issue is conversion software just does not exist yet that is optimized for the D7000. Only the CD version of ViewNX even allows adjustment to sharpening, the download version does not. Without the correct profiles present in converters there is no telling what the renderings will turn out like.
It is interesting how the complaint of outer focus points are not as good at locking as the D700 but the middle cross points are, without mentioning that the "outer" points are really covering a greater portion of the frame than the D700 which clusters all tightly into the center area with none further out. He said when comparing the center columns, the D7000 did compare. So as to compare apples to apples, comparing the areas both cameras have in common makes more sense.
I would say the review is more flawed than useful.

There is a theoretical earlier onset of diffraction, so that f/11 might start to have pixel level ambiguity, not sure anyone can see it where all else in the test was held constant. The knock on the 7d for landscapers was diffraction starting at f/9 but in reality all the stopped down 7d landscapes I've seen that suffered, suffered from other common shooting issues like tripod stability, shutter release etc.
I really doubt any camera in the Nikon line is very different in pixel level qualities. But throwing in the visual impression of wider DR at higher ISO that has been the key observation of posted images, it looks as if the D7000 really is more forgiving in having more headroom than a D90 or D300s. Of those shots posted where the user knew how to use the camera(after all it is brand new and few probably fully read the manual)and applied the recommended additional sharpening that the D90 needed over rather dull default settings, it appears that this new toy is better at basic imaging than the D300s, D90 and anything else in the DX class for now. Next spring will probably have everyone excited about the upgraded D400 or whatever it will be called. If it builds on the D7000 foundation, it is starting from a very good position.

Tom, Thanks for the link.
The ISO performance part is actually not a big surprise to me. With 3x pixel density, if D7000 manages to match D700, that would have been a revolutionary leap. If Nikon has the technology, they might want to use in their professional models first. It's still an impressive camera, considering the advance in video.

I read this and I am not sure what to call it, a review I suppose, but iI don't know how I would use this to determine the potential image quality of the D7000. I could take these pictures with a D3s if I didn't use proper technique/settings.
If we are going to test sharpness we need to eliminate user error and have controls. I would like to see the camera on a tripod and converted RAW shots at base ISO in decent lighting. Why handheld JPG samples in challenged lighting?
There is nothing in these shots that give me reason to believe that user error couldn't account for the 'reported problem'.
Incidentally, a number of users on other boards are reporting and posting beautifully sharp images shot in RAW and converted with the provided version of View NX2.
I agree with others here that have noted that a number of people reported the same 'mushy image' problem with the D90 when it came out. Turns out that Nikon simply had the default settings turned down to a very conservative level.
I would be shocked to find out that Nikon has waded into the MP pool with an inherently soft $1000+ camera, taking a 180 from their successful business model of producing sharp/noise busting DSLRs.

I have to agree that the complaint of softness kind of puts me off to this review. Unless there is a physical problem (not likely) that is causing front or back focus then there is no way that the camera can be inherently "soft." It is possible that Nikon is using a slightly more aggressive AA filter but that should not cause any significant sharpness issues.
The most likely cause for the complaints, including this guys, is that he has not adjusted his technique for the higher pixel density. This initial flood of softness complaints shows up every time the mega pixel count (pixel density) is increased. I saw this issue when I moved up from the 6MP D50 to the 10MP D80 and again to a lesser extent going to the 12MP D300. After a couple of weeks of shooting at the higher pixel density and figuring out your camera/software settings this apparent image softness will go away as if it never existed.
This is a case were we need to review the reviewer. So far we have had some promising feedback on this camera but I am still awaiting reviews from reputable reviewers before making any judgment.

First let's straighten out a few facts.
To Stan: The sharpening default in standard picture control is 4, and the reviewer indicated it was increased one notch to 5.
To Jason: The reviewer indicated that the shots were taken on tripod, with self timer and exposure delay.
To Dave: There are some ways how a camera can affect sharpness: mirror slap vibration, AA filter (as you said), diffraction (increased by high pixel density).
All this said, I did not take the sharpness complaint too seriously, I'm sure the camera will make plenty sharp images under the right conditions. These conditions may simply be more limited than with other cameras. I.e. Lloyd Chambers writes that with the D7000 pixel density, diffraction would start to show at f/5.6, earlier than D90/D300 and much earlier than D700 with it's low pixel density. Also, it may require better lenses, better technique, faster shutter
speeds etc to bring out all the benefits of the 16MP sensor.
As for the AF performance: The outer AF sensors aren't as important to me, but another photographer had tried the D7000 for flying birds and reported that the AF speed was closer to the D90 than to the D300/D700. This should be no surprise of course. But many of us were hoping it would be closer to the pro bodies, given that the D7000 has some features that used to be reserved to the high end bodies, like metering with AIS lenses, AF fine tune etc.

To Dave: There are some ways how a camera can affect sharpness: mirror slap vibration, AA filter (as you said), diffraction (increased by high pixel density).
Yes but none of these things (except an over aggressive AA filter, which is very unlikely) will make the camera body inherently soft. Mirror slap is a technique issue, every DSLR has a AA filter and diffraction would have to be pretty bad to make a tangible difference. Inherent softness is the least likely shortfall of this or any other modern DSLR body.
My main point was that that we have seen this issue has come up over and over in the past with every increase in pixel density and the complaints always disappear as soon as the users adjust their technique to the new body.
"All this said, I did not take the sharpness complaint too seriously…"
This reviewer repeated the sharpness complaint a couple of times so he must think it is serious. His example images, as examples of sharpness or high ISO performance, are questionable to say the least. He seems to be just some guy with a blog who wiped out a quick review without based on very limited use of the camera. So again this is a case where we need to review the reviewer. Has he given other reviews in the past? Have hey been accurate? Has he shown that he has done any controlled and or through testing or are these just off the cuff remarks?
Although he seems to be a very good photographer, based on his online portfolio, he may not be a very good or reliable reviewer.
Give it a couple of months and we will here less and less people saying "The D7000 is soft."

I haven't heard anybody except this one saying the D7000 is soft and I wouldn't get too worked up about it, but the comments regarding AF performance and image noise are pretty consistent with what I read elsewhere: better than D90, worse than D700.

So far the AF comments have been like I would have expected. This is a place where Nikon can make a significant improvement for the previous generation but still hold back some performance for the higher priced cameras. Nikon has always made the AF performance just a little bit better at each higher price point in the same generation.
The high ISO is a bit harder to judge. A lot of the examples shown so far are not the best images for accurate evaluation. It will be nice to see some quality good side by side testing. It will also be interesting to see the DxOmark testing on this sensor.

"...I am disappointed that the shutter release button is a bit mushy."
I love the mushier shutter release like on the pro bodies! I hated the D90's stiff shutter release!

Thanks for the pointer. I checked out the article and was a bit puzzled with the discussion on sharpening or lack of sharpness. I took the only sample image in the article that showed significant detail, the fall-scene at ISO100, and applied some unsharp mask in CS5. The image is (blistering) sharp. The reviewer indicated the images were from a RAW file and in my workflow, that means the sharpening is an operator choice.
This seems to me to be very basic, just a post processing choice.
This could be a case of the reviewer applying a standard workflow from another sensor to the D7000 and just not taking the extra step to tune it for the D7000.
Confused in Illinois,

You are right Roger, I downloaded the fall leaf image and added just a hair of sharpening in PS CS5 and have no complaints about sharpness, but rather liked how much detail was still available in the shadows to work with. The RAW files would sure be interesting to play with.
I know the sharpening is different with every camera, some experimenting is needed before anyone can judge the camera realistically. The D90 serves as a good example. I remember reading the DPR review and it panned it compared to a Canon model due to softness at default and later added a comment that they do not make changes to default setting for reviews to explain why, after a few month, they were being critisized for a bad review when other reviews had come out in the meantime that showed more of what people were actually getting from using it in the field. Who knows what sharpening value is needed with the D7000, but apparently Nikon was even more conservative in creating defaults for this model. The posters on DPR who have posted stunning OOC JPGs had bumped it to 6. PC sharpening in Standard profile.
What good is a review that does not experiment a little or know the variabilities that have great influence over the output? It was interesting to read the posts follow it on the blog of those who were going to cancel their orders. Wow, the power of un-critical thinking...they are probably not suited for such a camera with so much adjust-ability anyway.

Exactly, I can't believe how many reviews use default settings like AWB, sharpness, saturation etc. during a 30 page review and then complain the the color rendition under incandescent is poor, or the image is soft, or the colors are muted.
Take the fall scene from the review, apply Unsharp mask @ 150, 0.3, 0 and you'll be impressed. Try radius of 0.5, very nice.
These are not P&S cameras. The most useful reviews are those that attempt to get the best possible IQ out of a given camera.

A jury cleared a concert promoter of negligence on Wednesday in a case that attempted to link the death of Michael Jackson to the company that promoted his ill-fated comeback shows.
The panel rejected a lawsuit brought by Jackson's mother claiming AEG Live was negligent in hiring Conrad Murray, the doctor who killed Jackson with an overdose of a hospital anesthetic the singer used as a sleep aid.
The five-month trial provided the closest look yet at Jackson's drug use and his battles against chronic pain and insomnia.
It also took jurors behind the scenes in the rough-and-tumble world of negotiations with one of the world's most famous entertainers looking to solidify his legendary status after scandal interrupted his career.
With its verdict, the jury also delivered a somewhat surprising message: Jurors did not believe Murray was unfit or incompetent to perform his duties involving Jackson.
"That doesn't mean we felt he was ethical," jury foreman Gregg Barden said after the verdict was read.
He said the panel knew many people would not agree with the verdict but explained that the jury followed the language of the verdict form and instructions.
The ruling on the competence of Murray ended any further consideration of possible damages and who was at fault for the death. AEG Live lawyers suggested throughout the trial that Jackson was the only one to blame for his death.
"AEG didn't do anything wrong and would not allow themselves to be shaken down," lead defense attorney Marvin S. Putnam said.
After the hearing, juror Bryant Carino of Los Angeles was asked who was to blame for Jackson's death.
"I don't want to say whose fault it is," the 36-year-old Carino responded. "I'm not one to point fingers."
Millions of dollars at stake
Katherine Jackson told reporters she was OK after the verdict.
A victory could have meant hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for her and the singer's three children and provided a rebuke of AEG Live, the second-largest concert promoter in the United States.
Kevin Boyle, an attorney for Katherine Jackson, said he was disappointed with the verdict.
"We, of course, are not happy with the result as it stands now," Boyle said. "We will be exploring all options legally and factually and make a decision about anything at a later time."
He added: "We think that what we've done with this case is prove some things that are important for the Jackson family and for the concert industry and the sports industry with regards to treatment by doctors."
Boyle declined to answer further questions.
Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter after giving Jackson the overdose as he prepared for the comeback shows dubbed "This Is It." Witnesses at the trial said Jackson saw the concerts as a chance for personal redemption after being acquitted of child molestation.
But as the opening date of the shows approached, associates testified that he had bouts of insecurity and agonized over his inability to sleep. They said he turned to the drug propofol and found Murray, who was willing to buy it in bulk and administer it to him on a nightly basis even though it is not meant to be used outside operating rooms.
Testimony at the civil trial showed that only Jackson and Murray knew he was taking the drug.
In his closing argument, AEG Live attorney Putnam told jurors the company would have pulled the plug on the shows if executives knew Jackson was using the anesthetic.
"AEG would have never agreed to finance this tour if they knew Mr. Jackson was playing Russian roulette in his bedroom every night," Putnam said.
Brian Panish, a lawyer for the Jackson family, countered that AEG Live was negligent by not looking far enough to find out what it needed to know about Murray. He claimed in his closing argument that the lure of riches turned the company and Murray into mercenaries who sacrificed the pop star's life in a quest to boost their own fortunes.
He said Murray's $150,000-a-month contract to care for Jackson was a lifeline to help him climb out of his financial troubles, which included $500,000 in debt. AEG Live, meanwhile, had only one interest — launching a world tour for the King of Pop that would yield untold millions in profits, the lawyer said.
AEG Live's lawyers framed the case as being about personal choice, saying Jackson made bad choices about the drug that killed him and the doctor who provided it. They said he was the architect of his own demise and no one else can be blamed.
Jurors heard testimony from more than 50 witnesses, including Jackson's mother and his eldest son, Prince, as well as days of testimony from AEG executives who were repeatedly asked about emails in which they discussed Jackson's missed rehearsals and described Murray's pay as a done deal.
They also heard about Jackson's close relationship to many of his doctors, including Murray, who he first met in Las Vegas in 2007.
Katherine Jackson called the case a search for the truth about the death of her son and the trial featured potentially embarrassing revelations for both sides. AEG's executives had their emails picked apart, revealing concerns that Jackson wouldn't be able to perform the shows as planned, that a lawyer at their parent company referred to Michael Jackson as "the freak," and that Jackson was derided even though the company had invested more than $30 million in his shows.
Jackson's greatest hits were in heavy rotation throughout the trial, with jurors watching footage of him moonwalking across stages and playing to packed arenas around the globe, with some fans so overcome with emotion that some had to be carried out on stretchers. A world few saw was also on display, with private videos of Christmas mornings Jackson spent with his children and stories about his devotion to them being recounted throughout the trial.
AEG Live, meanwhile, laid out Jackson's medical history, presenting testimony about his use of drugs, including the powerful painkiller Demerol, for pain stemming from an accident that occurred decades ago while he was filming a Pepsi commercial. Jackson had no trace of that drug in his system when he died.
The lawyers called witnesses who recounted Jackson's use of propofol dating back to the 1990s. In 1997, two German doctors administered the anesthetic to help the singer sleep between shows in Munich.
Jackson's mother and his three children are supported by his estate, which provides a comfortable lifestyle for them and erased hundreds of millions of dollars in debts by debuting new projects and releasing new music featuring the King of Pop.

February, 6, 2008
ATLANTA (AP) -- Some Georgia lawmakers are trying to reopen an
1818 border dispute to get access to the Tennessee River.
The 652-mile long river that flows tantalizingly close to the
Georgia line. By some accounts, part of it should be within
Georgia's borders.
Senator David Shafer has submitted a resolution that says a
flawed survey in 1818 mistakenly marked Georgia's border one mile
south of the 35th parallel.
The Tennessee River has a flow about 15 times greater than the
Chattahoochee, which supplies Atlanta with its water.
The resolution would not change Georgia's borders, but it would
create a "boundary line commission" that aims to resolve the
dispute. It was co-sponsored by all of Georgia senators, and a
similar proposal was introduced in the House.

Please bear with me on this. I am now in United Kingdom. I have been relocated here with my work several months ago. I was offered free transportation and I took the TV with me. But I can't use it here because it works on the NTSC format and here they use the PAL format. I tried to sell it locally but with no luck. That's why I'm trying my luck in the US.
Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I found a service that will help us with that. Click on the link below to learn more about the service:
Then it was this:
I see that you don't know how our deal will work out. Did you read TNT's procedure on their website? It is explained there how their service works. Let me know after you read their procedure so I can be certain that we are on the same page:
Then this one:
I will sell you the TV for $320 with everything in the pictures included, I will use 2 day delivery and allow you 5 days to inspect it. Shipping is on me. Your total price will be the $320 for the TV + a fee ($30) for sending the money to TNT. So, do we have a deal? At this point I need your name and address to start the deal.
Then this one:
I went to TNT today. The guys from TNT told me that they will check the TV out and then notify you with their findings. They will also contact you with the shipping and payment details.
Be sure to check your junk folder as well, as TNT said that some email providers may misinterpret their notifications as junk email (due to the fact that their notifications are sent automatically).
When I didn't reply right away I received this odd email with what I assume is the s left out of "news":
Wondering if you have any new on our deal.
Then here is the email I got from "TNT" with the Western Union information and address in Wolverhampton:
Description of goods: 1 x Philips 42PFL7403D/F7 LCD TV
Buyer: xxxx
Seller: Arianna Hodson
Amount to be paid by the Buyer: USD $320.00
Delivery Type: TNT Express 2nd Day

An Interview with Umm Saalih: A Grandmother Who Completed Memorizing the Qur'an at Eighty-Two Years Old.
Al-Hamdulillaah (All Praise is due to Allah), the One Who said (what means): {And in truth We have made the Qur'aan easy to remember; but is there any that remembers?} [Surah 54: 32]
Many all over the world memorize the Qur'aan, and it is not strange to see the youth memorizing the Noble Qur'aan and an early age. Al-Hamdulillaah, the One who made the Qur'aan easy for remembrance, had made it easy for Umm Saalih age 82. In an interview with Umm Saalih, she was asked the following questions:
Q1: "What was the reason that drove you to memorize the Qur'aan after so many years?"
She said, "I always hoped to memorize the Qur'aan from the time I was young. My father always used to invoke Allaah for me to become one of the memorizers of the Qur'aan, like himself and like the elder brothers of my family who memorized it. So I memorized in the beginning about three parts and then after I completed the age of thirteen, I got married and became busy with the household and the children. After I had seven children, my husband died. They (the children) were all young so I took the time to raise them and educate them, and then after they grew up and got married, I had more time for myself. Therefore, the first thing I directed myself to focus upon was the Qur'aan."
Q2: "Tell us about your journey with the Noble Qur'aan."
She said, "My younger daughter was going to high school and she was the closest of my children to me and the most beloved, because she stayed with me after her older sisters got married and got busy with their lives, and because she was a quiet girl, upright, loving, and good. In addition, she was interested in learning the Noble Qur'aan, and her teachers encouraged her.
Furthermore, she was very enthusiastic and always told me of many women who were driven by this great motivation to memorize the Qur'aan, and this is where I started."
Q3: "Tell me about your way of memorization."
She said, "We assigned ten verses (meaning her and her daughter who was going to high school). So each day after Asr, we used to sit together. She reads and I repeat after her three times. Then she explains the meaning to me, and after a while, she repeats that three times. On the next morning, she repeats them to me before she goes to school.
She recorded also the recitations of Ash Shaykh al Husary, Rahimuhullaah, repeating each verse three times and thus I continued to listen most of the time. Therefore, the next day we would go to the next ten verses if my memorization was good. Otherwise, we would postpone taking additional verses until the day after. Moreover, we assigned the day of Friday to review the memorizations of the entire week. And this was the journey from the beginning."
Then she said, "Over four years and a half, I memorized twelve juz" according to the way I described to you. Then this young daughter got married. When her husband knew of our task concerning the memorization, he rented a house close to me, close to my house, so that he could allow the continuation of the memorization. In addition, he, May Allah reward him used to encourage us and sometimes sit with us listening, explaining and teaching.
Then after three years of her marriage, my daughter got busy with the children and the household and our schedule was interrupted, but that did not make her give up. To the contrary, she sensed that my eagerness for the memorization was still established so she looked for a special good teacher to continue the journey under her supervision. So, I completed the memorization by the success of Allaah and my daughter is still working to finish the memorization of the Glorious Qur'aan. She has a little left, In Shaa Allaah Ta'aala."
Q4: "This motivation of yours, did it have an effect on other women around you?"
She said, "It really had a good strong effect. My daughters and stepdaughters were all encouraged and worked on learning and teaching the Qur'aan to their children and learning it themselves."
Q5: "After finishing the Noble Qur'aan, don't you think about working on memorizing hadith?"
She said, "Now I have memorized ninety hadith and Inshaa' Allaah I will continue the journey. I depend, in my memorization, upon the tapes and upon the Qur'aan radio station. At the end of each week, my daughter comes and checks for me the memorization of three hadith, and I am trying now to memorize more."
Q6: "Over this period of memorization of the Qur'aan, did your life change? Was it affected in one way or another?"
She said, "Yes, I went through a major change and I tried always, all praise is due to Allaah, to obey Allaah before I started the memorization. However, after I started the task of memorization, I began to feel a self-comfort, a great self-comfort and all worries began to move away from me. I even reached the stage of freeing myself from all these excessive worries concerning fearing for the children and their affairs, and my morale was boosted.
I had a noble objective to work for and this is a great ni'mah (Favour) from Allaah upon me, since we know that some women, when they get old and they do not have a husband, and their children got married, may be destroyed by the empty time, thoughts, worries, and so forth. But, Alhamdulillaah, I didn't go through this and I made myself busy with a great task and a great objective."
Q7: "Didn't you think at one point, to join one of the circles focusing on teaching the Noble Qur'aan?"
The answer was, "Yes, some of the women suggested this to me, but I am a woman who got used to staying at home, and I don't like to go out everyday, and Al Hamdulillaah, my daughter sufficed me from all difficulty and I was so happy while I was learning from her. My daughter had set an example in goodness and righteousness which we rarely find in our days.
She started this task and journey with me while she was an adolescent and this is a critical age many people complain of. She used to pressure herself so that she could have spare time to teach me, and she used to teach me with kindness and wisdom. Her husband was a good help to her and he exerted a lot of effort. I ask Allaah to give them success and to bring their children up on uprightness."
Q8: "What do you say to a woman of your age who wishes to learn and memorize the Qur'aan yet she is worried about it and feeling unable to?"
She said, "I say to her that there shall be no despair with firm, sincere and truthful determination. Begin with sincerity, firm determination and dependence on Allaah at each time. And remember that at this age you should have the time for yourself. However, do not use your time to only go out or to sleep and so forth. Rather, busy yourself with righteous work."
She, may Allaah preserve her, said: "Preserve Allaah and He will preserve you. Make use of the favour of Allaah bestowed upon you from health and ways and means of comfort. Use that to memorize the Book of Allaah. This is the light which enlivens your heart, your life and your grave after you die.
And if you have a mother then exert the effort to teach her, and there is no better favour upon a mother than one of her righteous children aiding her to be close to Allaah."

The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
Top of the Charts: Iggy Azalea joins Beatles in chart history
Simply making her chart-topping debut on the Billboard Hot 100 was not enough for Iggy Azalea. She wanted to go much bigger. How much? Beatles big. Find out how the Australian rapper matched the Fab Four as she bumped out our three-week winner, John Legend, below. Then, let's look back in time to see which songs were number one this week in 2007, 1997, 1987 and 1977.
No. 1 hit June 2, 2014
Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX "Fancy"
Iggy Azalea not only leap-frogged John Legend's first career number one hit, "All of Me," this week to get her own debut chart-topper. She topped him with the top two spots, sending her own "Fancy" to number one and assisting Ariana Grande's "Problem" to number two. In doing so, Azalea joined rarefied air in chart history, becoming only the second act to reach the top two with their first two chart hits. The first was the Beatles who accomplished the same feat with "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" in 1964. Not bad company for a pop star to keep. »Read Full Blog Post
Hanson's Isaac Hanson on his favorite new music and the inspiration for "Man from Milwaukee"

Isaac Hanson, one of the three Hanson brothers who gave the world the gift of "MMMBop" (plus several other strong songs over the years), has a special connection to Milwaukee.
"The crowds in Milwaukee are awesome," he told the Journal Sentinel, ahead of the band's Oct. 12 show at the Pabst Theater. "The shows are always raucous and fun and exciting. Its almost always the highlight of the tour."
But the band shares another special bond to Brew City. Our fare city was namechecked in the Hanson original "Man from Milwaukee," which appeared as a special bonus track on breakthrough 1997 album "Middle of Nowhere."
So was there a man from Milwaukee who inspired the song?
Actually, Hanson said the inspiration actually came in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"Our van broke down on our way to Los Angeles to make 'Middle of Nowhere,'" Hanson said. "(Then 11-year-old) Zac was sitting around and for some reason started talking about how Albuquerque and Milwaukee sounded similar. Over the course of a half-hour, Zac was on the curb humming some melody, and he came up with this idea about running into a guy on the side of the road and the question is is the man insane or really from another planet. It's the kind of sarcastic sense of humor of a young songwriter circa 1996."
And while the song was first penned as a goof by a kid, Isaac Hanson feels the "melody still holds together really well" and features one of the band's most aggressive guitar tones. You can hear the song below, and Hanson said there's a "75 percent chance" fans will hear it live at the Pabst Saturday. »Read Full Blog Post
Singles Scorecard: Hear new tracks from Jonas Brothers, Hanson, Selena Gomez and more
The Jonas Brothers, pictured here performing at the Bradley Center in 2009, is back with a new single, "Pom Poms." Photo by MaryJo Walicki.
Look out One Direction. There's some new boy bands in town--your predecessors.
This week both Hanson ("Biggest Boy Band in America," 1996 edition) and the Jonas Brothers ("Biggest Boy Band in America," 2009 edition) are back with new tracks on sale on iTunes. We've got reviews and videos for the songs themselves below, along with the latest singles from Selena Gomez, Avril Lavigne, the National and Skillet, featuring Kenosha native Korey Cooper.
Jonas Brothers
Single: "Poms Poms"
Gut reaction: The Jo Bros are back with a marching band sound and cheerleader-inspired vocal hooks. Not sure if it's enough to send fans back to the levels of hysteria circa 2009, but it adds some luster to the band's faded star.
Grade: B-
Selena Gomez
Single: "Come & Get It"
Gut reaction: Based on Gomez's second-rate, Rihanna-like vocals, "Come & Get It" wouldn't be worth getting. Fortunately the song comes equipped with intriguing Hindi elements that give it some distinction.
Grade: C+
Avril Lavigne
Single: "Here's to Never Growing Up"
Gut reaction: Ironically enough, Avril Lavigne shows her age with an outdated Radiohead reference. And with blockheaded references to living like rock stars, dancing on bars and a "bottle of whatever," she also shows some influence from her fiancée, Nickelback songwriter Chad Kroeger.
Grade: C- »Read Full Blog Post

Sound Bites - The 20th Anniversary Lollapalooza Lineup and Other Music Tidbits for April 26, 2011
Hey again all, Piet here with more Sound Bites. Here are some of the latest music tidbits going around today.
The Lollapalooza lineup went live at the stroke of midnight. Headliners for the megafestival, celebrating its 20th anniversary at Chicago's Grant Park in August, include Eminem, Foo Fighters, Coldplay and Muse (so amazing at Bradley last fall). Several acts, including Bright Eyes, Deftones, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, My Morning Jacket, Arctic Monkeys, Flogging Molly, Titus Andronicus, Beats Antique, Cage The Elephant and Girl Talk, have either just had Milwaukee shows or will come to town this summer. But this is a good way to catch any acts you miss, and other stars like Cee Lo Green and Maynard James Keenan-fronted supergroup A Perfect Circle, in one weekend. Provided there aren't too many crushing conflicts (and word of warning, there's always some).
It's Tuesday, so loads of new music out today, including an album from country legend Emmylou Harris, who, it was just announced yesterday, is headling a Pabst show July 12. Presale starts Wednesday, tickets go on sale Friday. Also out is the new album "Fishin' for Woos" from Texas pop punk act Bowling for Soup, which headlines a Shank Hall show Sunday. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

When a great warrior of Gaul named Vercinix is captured by Julius Caesar, Xena captures a blood-thirsty general named Crassus in an attempt to use Roman politics to free Vercinix. However the plan goes awry when Pompey plays off Xena's hatred of Caesar, landing Xena in the coliseum to fight for her life. Meanwhile, Gabrielle is faced with a life and death decision.moreless

Julius Caesar
Recurring Role
Nitpick: Marcus Licinius Crassus was the governor of Syria when he made war on the Parthians, who captured and executed him. (The episode has him in the hands of "Syrians".) He never fought in Gaul; Gardenas is fictional. His only other military campaign as general was against Spartacus, in which both Caesar and Pompey participated. The credit for the eventual victory against Spartacus was given to Pompey, something Crassus deeply resented.
Caesar inadvertently broke an important Roman law by allowing Gabrielle into his home (which was also his office). Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus, lived in the Domus Publica. This building, on the original Forum itself, was within Rome's sacred boundary, the pomerium. Because of Republican Rome's extreme antipathy toward kings, no sovereign could cross the pomerium except when being exhibited as part of a general's triumph; at the end of the triumphal procession the sovereign was either executed, or installed in a villa outside of Rome under house arrest. Gabrielle, of course, was an Amazon queen, though perhaps Caesar did not know that. He knew the law, though: when he installed Cleopatra in Rome, he kept her outside the pomerium.
Caesar: I can't believe that you would double-cross me, just as I was about to double-cross you.
Xena: How'd you know?
Caesar: You have one obsession Xena, that's me. And because of it, I have you... and I have Vercinix. And somewhere out there, there is an irritating blond about to follow a plan that no longer exists.
Crassus: Caesar! I knew you'd come!
Caesar: Really? I don't know why I bothered. If I thought you a capable ally, a good balance against Pompey? But look at you! Captured and chained by a woman that I captured and chained! I don't know!
Crassus: Ah.. Xena, I'm reluctant to thank you for saving me. After all, last time I saw you, you swore you'd kill me on sight.
Xena: That was before you became useful.
Crassus: Yes Xena, it is about power. The appearance of it, the possession of it, the wielding of it... You're quite familiar with that, aren't you?
Pompey: This is Xena?
Caesar: Yes.. uh, an old.. friend. Enemy? Friend? I forget where we left off.
Xena: We weren't on speaking terms.
Caesar: Prison hardly seems the place to tell you this, but-- you look incredible. Roman finery becomes you.
Xena: We're not going down that road-- this is business.
Caesar: It's never just business between us, Xena. It's hatred, war, conflict-- and it's love.
Xena: I gotta go to the bathroom. Are we done yet?
Xena: How many more times're you gonna follow me into battle, huh? How many more times am I gonna hurt you? You are the most dear thing to me in all the world. And yet, instead of protecting you...
Gabrielle: (interrupting) I'm here, because I want to be here. I love you, Xena.
Xena: I love you too, Gabrielle.
Xena: (showing Caesar Crassus' ring as proof she has him) I'll send over the finger this belongs on tomorrow. And after that, I'll be more creative.
Pompey: So why do they call you the warrior princess?
Xena: Because Caesar was taken.
Shooting Dates: January 8 through January 16 1998, 7 day shoot
If the actor who plays Crassus seems familiar, it's because Matthew Chamberlain has performed several other roles in the Xenaverse, including Orpheus in the second season episode "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and Darphus in the Hercules episodes "The Gauntlet" and "Unchained Heart", the final two installments of the trilogy that served as the pilot for Xena.
This episode is also known as 'First of the Three'.
In the original script the scene where Pompey asks if Xena can be trusted and Brutus responds "Only in her hatred of Caesar" there were two more lines that were cut. Pompey asks "I wonder why she hasn't killed him yet?" Brutus responds "Opportunity." This gives Pompey the idea of presenting her with his dagger, tacitly telling her that her "Opportunity" has arrived.
DISCLAIMER: Caesar's Palace was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, Crassus and the gladiators went down for the count.
When Vercinix mentions that Crassus had some 100 men, women and children crucifed along the Appian Way, this refers to what Crassus did to the prisoners he took after the final battle against Spartacus. In fact, he had some 6000 people crucified.
Vercingetorix, or Vercinex of the Xenaverse, was defeated by Julius Caesar after a number of battles. Julius Caesar is famed for never losing a battle, but Vercingetorix was able to fight him to a standstill for months at Alesia. He was imprisoned in the infamous Tullianum prison of Rome for five years before being part of Caesar's Gallic Triumphal procession, and then strangled back in prison.

Detroiters may have the chance to approve a tax that would put more police officers on the street, if the police department can effectively answer City Council's concerns.
The body put off a vote to put an millage on the November ballot that would raise approximately $56 million and add 500 to 600 officers to neighborhood patrol. The 9-mil increase would be in effect for five years, at which point residents could vote again.
Police Chief Godbee told Council 30 to 40 officers would go to precincts outside the central district, where there is better police presence currently.
"We think [it] is a worthy investment not only for the neighborhoods of Detroit but to the city's overall financial health," Godbee said.
In light of unanswered questions, Council chose to wait to vote on whether the initiative would go on the Nov. 6 ballot. They will reconvene for a special session during their summer recess, which begins Wednesday, to meet the deadline to get it on the ballot.
Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown said the proposal came out of the Public Health and Safety Standing Committee without a recommendation because they wanted a more detailed written plan for how the money would be spent.
"One paragraph on the ballot isn't going to guarantee anything," Brown said.
Godbee countered that it was a simple deployment plan to put the officers in precincts.
"This isn't rocket science. This isn't any major plan," he said.
Councilman Ken Cockrel Jr. expressed concern about increasing the financial burden for Detroiters, whom he says face high taxes and high levels of poverty.
The tax would come out to $225 yearly for owners of a home worth $50,000.
Cockrel said if the measure went to vote presently, he would vote against it.
The push for more funding comes as the police department faces an 18 percent, $75 million cut in next year's budget, and new union contracts that cut pay by 10 percent.
"It's critical not only for the citizens. It's dangerous for our officers," Rev. Jerome Warfield of the Board of Police Commissioners told The Huffington Post in May. As he told Council at the time, "We are stretched beyond our limits right now."
