Vroom Room
Good Morning!
Its the last Friday of the month, its month end, its the Vroom Room, come in make yourself comfortable, enjoy the cappuccino, join the conversation.
It will be informative to see the Canadian November sales results in a few days. More of the same but still interesting.
Before we forget tomorrow is the sale of the John Staluppi Collection by RM Auctions featuring some truly iconic cars.
We came across an article that awakens a myriad of memories; an interview of Joanne Villeneuve by Norris McDonald. If you are of a certain age you have vivid memories of Gilles Villeneuve. In our case The Colonel criss crossed Gilles Villeneuve on several occasions in the pits at the famous 1976 race in Trois Rivieres.
Obvious that The Colonel was at the F1 race in Montreal in 1978 when Gilles won driving a Ferrari.
A quick rant, have you noticed how the mainstream media quickly jumps on the "news of the day" or the "flavor of the day" and subsequently tries to get more exposure, coverage, eyeballs, than what the event merits. It often becomes a case of spinning several stories around at best half a story.
We required a laptop to replace a PC that expired a few months ago, for some reason some PC's have a longer, other a shorter, and some a mid term life expectancy. This one had a mid term life (6 years). Our decision was to replace the PC by a laptop, especially with improved routers of the past few years, a laptop is easily used around the house. As an aside The Colonel uses a PC, since he loves his music when working.
Back to the laptop, we have been Future Shop customers when it comes to PC's and laptops for over a decade, after all the online browsing, there is a tactile aspect in acquiring a laptop, more so than a PC. In the store it was informative to see folks that are comparing laptops, gathering more information on their smart device, and still not making a decision.
Our parameters for this laptop, we have a price point, since that Office is never included, we have some performance parameters especially the memory, and absolutely require Windows 8 (the reason we postponed the purchase), not interested in a Windows 7 machine.
The unknown was the screen size, do we get a 14, a 15, or 17 inch screen? The 14 is too small, the 17 is too big, the 15 is just right. Yes...you can get dizzy with all the 15 inch offerings, obvious that any ultrabook is beyond the price budget.
After a process of elimination, laptops require a tactile appeal to finalise the decision, including the appearance of the screen. The technical specs are secondary to the tactile appeal in the decision process. The technical specs come into play in the value for money decision. Do we need to mention that all laptop manufacturers alter CPU's to change price points,
New consumer laptops are aupremely slick compared to work laptops, and Windows 8 has a refreshing, intuitive interface compared to all the previous versions of Windows. If you require a Laptop or PC we highly recommend that you get Windows 8...
Yes we watched the F1 race in Brasil, one of the better races of the season, after all the speculation from a myriad of pundits, Sebastien Vettel won the champioship for 2012, Ferando Alonso although dissapointed proved that tenacity will generate postive results.

Hey guys, I haven't posted on here for a while but some of you might remember me from a few months ago. I decided to stop going on the forums and the internet in general because towards the end of last year I just wanted to focus on studying for my year 12 exams. I also made the decision to allow myself to eat whatever I wanted until exams were over, so I stopped my obsessive dieting, bingeing, fasting, and checking nutrition labels on everything. I was sure that I'd gain weight but over those several months of unrestricted eating and no exercise except walking for 45 mins to an hour a day I actually lost 1.5kg which isn't much but it still surprised me. For around 2 months now I've been trying lose weight but I haven't been really serious about it; I invent a new weight loss plan nearly every day but I never stick to any of them because after 5 minutes I realise that I just need something sustainable. I've gained weight and I've learned that dieting and restriction makes me fat. Anyway, I just hope that this time I will be patient enough to just stick to the basic PB principles and not get too carried away by 'shortcuts'.

LONG BEACH - A City Council action made Tuesday could create a new position that would shepherd economic development and serve as an intermediary between businesses and government.
Council members voted unanimously to approve a request advanced by Vice Mayor Robert Garcia that directs City Manager Pat West to report back within 90 days on the feasibility of creating the position, a business and economic development officer.
The proposed addition to city staff would revive many of the functions of the Economic Development Bureau. It was dismantled two years ago and the duties were spread among the City Manager's and Mayor's offices.
Garcia noted that other similarly sized cities, such as Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans and Cincinnati, each have their own economic development arm, and that Long Beach would do well to widen its business footprint and attract high-tech and other jobs.
"I think this is another opportunity to move that forward," Garcia said.
The cost of the job could be offset by unspecified adjustments to other city positions that West would make, according to the legislation. West said it would be possible to make the proposal "revenue neutral."
In giving his support to the legislation, Councilman Steven Neal asked that the economic development officer work to recruit businesses to all parts of the city, including less affluent areas.
Councilmen Gary DeLong, Patrick O'Donnell and James Johnson co-sponsored Garcia's legislation.

Fendi Fall 2014
The Fendi show opened with a playful touch: Cara Delevingne swishing down the runway in a shapely charcoal wool dress (with the collection's graphic round shoulder) and a black fox hood, swinging a furry purse that, on closer inspection, turned out to be a mini Karl Lagerfeld doll fashioned from tufts of fur—surely any self-respecting, deep-pocketed fashionista's seasonal must-have?
The collection itself, set to a Philip Glass sound track and against a backdrop of collaged color patches like a Cubist assemblage canvas, was far less antic. The predominantly militaristic feeling of the palette of khaki, black, camouflage green, navy, and griege (admittedly leavened with a very unmartial splash of hot pink), meanwhile, was enhanced by the sinister whirring of air-conditioning drones like miniature spaceships that circled over the crowd.
Lagerfeld opened the show with boldly shaped, horizontally seamed coats and dresses with an effect that he described as "fur escape"—tufts of fur sprouting out of those seams as though you had reversed a pelt coat and it was splitting at the joints. There might be an explosion on the shoulder like a horse's mane, or an asymmetric bristle of fox fronds at the hip. Some of these pieces were further aerated with slices of mesh inset to reveal a shoulder, a flash of calf—or even the top of the second-skin boots, high as a pair of old-fashioned stockings.
The idea of randomness that these "fur escapes" suggested was reflected in artful patchworks that mirrored those background wall coverings, and evoked the work of artist Serge Poliakoff, assembled to provide textual interest and continue the house's signature innovations in using fur as a fabric or embroidery (even to suggest an orchid spray corsage)—an effect that looked strong used for bags as well. Random, too, were the dappled paint flecks used as a print on the cloth, leather, and fur itself. Lagerfeld also caught the strong quilting trend of the season, with puffer jackets or gilets in nylon or patent, often used in the layered stories that provided a foil to the bold-silhouette coats and dresses, with lengths that hovered either just above the ankle—or high above the knee.
For his finale pieces, Lagerfeld used a print like the constellation in a night sky—a motif that was also magically translated in the scattering of aurora borealis crystals embedded in supremely chic sheared dark fur parkas.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop gallstones with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing gallstones. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Men older than the age of 60 and women between the ages of 20 and 60 are at increased risk of developing gallstones. Pregnant women are more likely to have gallstones with symptoms.
Genetic factors play a role in gallstone disease. There is an increased risk of gallstones among first-degree relatives.
Medical conditions associated with gallstones include:
Gallstones are common in the following groups:
A number of drugs are associated with gallstones. The most common are:
The following dietary changes increase the risk of developing gallstones:

Once you get it, it will all make sense
I figured this must be asked a million times already so I did a search to 'airmon-ng' but I didn't find a resolution to my problem.
I followed this video tutorial on how to crack WEP with backtrack using VMWare.
But I'm pretty much stuck at step 1:
When I enter airmon-ng in the shell console nothing comes up ( sitting next to my router for 5 minutes ).
I found out most people have this problem because their network adaptor isn't recognized by VMWARE, but my actually is recognized but still it doesn't show anything.
Does anyone know what the problem can be & how to fix it?
I have a screenshot but:So please send me a PM if you don't understand my problem so I can send you a screenshot of the problemYou are only allowed to post URLs ( or images ) to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more.
Once you get it, it will all make sense
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
Pietpatat & balla welcome to forums.
The solution for your problem is to listen very carefully what Gitsnik told you to do. Don't expect to see only one video and you are ready to go. Read - watch -read - watch. You have to try a little bit harder. There is no easy way, but on the other hand it's not that difficult as it sounds. Then, when you understand the whole think and you re-read this post, you will realize how ridiculous looks like that kind of posts.
Keep trying
At the least, you should post details about your wireless cards, that is a very common hiccup that gets newbies. For example, understand that not all wireless cards are supported because drivers have not been installed that support the kind of advanced operations that these attacks require (like monitor mode, channel hopping, injection, mac spoofing).
as a noob to backtrack, but a decent linux user, i strongly suggest to all noobs having issues to read the getting started documentation at aircrack-ng's website
this documentation alone got me cracking my home network in much less time than i predicted

Mr. F and I spent the beginning of 2011 fulfilling our dream of travelling around Europe. We spent a lot of our time in different parts of Spain – hitting the major cities like Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia and spending a larger chunk of time in Sevilla and San Sebastian.
This time last year we had just arrived for a month-long stay in the Southern city of Sevilla in Andalucía. Not knowing much about the city or the region, our 5 weeks there were full of new discoveries.
11 (mostly food-and-drink-related) Things I Learned in Sevilla:
- Sevilla is the hottest city in Europe. Don't go there in summer, the Old City is essentially an oven and will cook you.
- You will never regret spending money on jamón.
- Siestas are totally necessary. By 3pm, the sun is at its hottest and the only thing you will want to do is nap. Plus, everyone else is doing it.
- Sangria is for tourists. Don't order it unless you want to drink straight sugar with a hint of cheap wine.
- Don Simon pre-made sangria is one of cheapest alcoholic beverages you can buy in a Spanish supermarket.
- Shop for food at the mercado not the supermercado.
- The tapas crawl is a spectacular invention.
- Do not buy Spanish wine that is not D.O. or D.O.C. certified. If it doesn't have the Denominación de Origen Calificada stamp on it, it is very possible that you are drinking vinegar that may or may not get you drunk.
- City-wide bike hire systems are awesome when properly executed. (Sevilla 1, Brisbane 0.)
- I can pack a mean picnic.
- Chorizo should be involved in most things. (Technically not learned in Sevilla, but reinforced.)
Jamie Oliver, bless him, prepared this salad in an Andalucian field. I made it in my kitchen and it still turned out pretty well.
For some bonus authenticity: pronounce it choreetho like the Spaniards and Jamie do!
Tomato and Chorizo Salad
adapted just slightly from Jamie Oliver's recipe.
– 3 cups chopped tomatoes (I used cherry)
– 1 small red onion, finely chopped
– 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
– 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, divided
– 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
– 1/4 cup basil, chopped
– salt and pepper
– 1 chorizo sausage, sliced into rounds
– 2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
Combine chopped tomatoes, onion, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar, parsley, half of the basil and a bit of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
Heat remaining olive oil in a large pan over a high heat. Add chorizo and cook, tossing occasionally until the chorizo it deeply browned and the natural, orange oils have been released. Add the garlic to the pan and toss quickly. Turn off the heat and let the garlic sizzle for about 20-30 seconds. Finish off the pan with the last tablespoon of white wine vinegar and let simmer in the pan for another minute.
With a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo and garlic from the oil and pour over the salad. Reserve oil for later use (Jamie suggests using it with some chicken.) Scatter salad with remaining basil and serve with crusty bread.
Jamie also suggests serving this with a small glass of sherry, I say a large glass of Rioja, D.O.C. of course.

The sword of your father--the sword of General Beauharnais--shall be restored to you.
Beauharnais had but little hope that he should escape the guillotine.
Beauharnais chased fashion's butterflies, and caught them, too, for he came home late and quarreled with his wife—a sure sign.
By this time the Bonapartes and the Beauharnais hated Talleyrand.
Mme. Beauharnais, as well as her friend, unfolded her wings like a butterfly as she escaped from the bars of her cell.
Do they also say 'your Majesty' to the widow of Beauharnais?
The people were in power and Beauharnais had labored to temper their wrath with reason.
It was about this time that young Beauharnais came to Milan.
Then Beauharnais was tall and had a splendid beard and wore a dangling sword.
Viscountess Beauharnais was soon, however, to be freed from this want.

24–28 June 2011 • Kraków, Poland
"What is life?" is one of the great questions that has stimulated and confounded human thought for centuries. From Platonism to naturalistic pantheism, from Judaism to Tenrikyo, and from the Death Anxiety supposition to the RNA world hypothesis, human beings have developed theories in attempts to offer the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question.
Our Dean, Fr. John Behr, as a theological scholar in the Orthodox Christian tradition, recently added to the age-old discussion by attending the "What is Life?" conference in sponsored by the Centre of Theology and Philosophy [2] at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom. There, he joined philosophers and scientists in an "immensely stimulating and rewarding discussion" about the mystery of life.
"I gave a paper entitled 'Let Us Make a Human Being: Divine Initiative and Human Response,' " said Fr. John, "exploring, through the writings of St. Irenaeus of Lyons and St. Maximus the Confessor, how while every other aspect of creation was spoken into existence—'Let there be, there was, and it was good—the work which God specifically sets himself to—'Let us make a human being in our image'—requires a fiat, a 'Let it be,' from the creature, to be born anew in Christ, living the life that he grants by his resurrection through taking up the cross."
The conference was the sixth in a series of conferences that the Centre has sponsored, including one in Rome (2008) on "The Grandeur of Reason: Religion, Tradition, and Universalism"; and Granada (2006) on "Belief and Metaphysics." This year's conference was led by Professor John Milbank, the leader of a group of Christians from a number of church traditions known as "Radical Orthodoxy [3]," and Conor Cunningham, the author of the recent book "Darwin's Pious Idea: Why the Ultra-Darwinists and Creationists both get it Wrong."
"The point of these conferences," said Fr. John, "is to bring together theologians, philosophers, and scientists to discuss areas of common interest relating to the witness of Christianity in the contemporary world. It is very important that we bring an Orthodox presence to such gatherings, to be part of the broader discussions going on."
The gathering was cosponsored by the Uniwersytet Papieski Jana Pawla II, Kraków, Baylor University, and Brigham Young University.

Father's Day FACT: Did you know:
Scholars claim the tradition of Father's Day can be traced in the ruins of Babylon where a young boy called Elmesu carved a Father's Day message on a card made out of clay nearly 4,000 years ago. Elmesu wished his father good health and a long life. The idea of a Father's Day celebration in the U.S.A. originated in 1909 in Spokane, Washington, when Ms. Sonora Louise Smart Dodd was listening to Mother's Day sermon. Sonora pondered if there is a day to honor mother then why not for father and she began a rigorous campaign to celebrate Father's Day in the U.S. It wasn't until 1972 that a permanent national observance of Father's Day was established by President Richard Nixon.

The Miracle of Hormones
Communication in Nerve Cells
Imagine that you are walking bare-foot in your kitchen and you walk on a piece of glass. The amount of time from when you walk on the glass until you feel the pain in your brain is only a few thousandths of a second. This time is so short that you cannot notice it, but during this time, a message was transmitted from your toe to your brain. This rapid and perfect communication was managed by nerve cells or, as they are called in biology, neurons.
Just look around: everything we see is designed according to a special purpose. For example, a telephone with its plastic and electronic parts, buttons, line and other components, has been designed to establish communication with other people. In the same way, the reason for the creation of neurons is evident on first inspection. (Of course, this requires an inspection done under an advanced microscope.) The first thing you notice, along with the other organelles in the cells, is the special extensions on the neurons which resemble arms projecting from a body; these are called axons and dendrites. It is possible to compare a neuron with a high technology telephone central. The size of this cellular telephone central is only between 0.004 and 0.1 of a millimeter, but its communication mechanism is unparalleled in the world today. The axon and dendrites mentioned above provide the communications lines that enable communication with other sites.
The diameter of a neuron is on ten microns on average. (A micron is equal to one thousandth of a millimeter) If we could arrange the 100 billion neurons in the human brain side by side in a line, the line (ten microns in diameter and too small to be seen by the naked eye) would stretch a thousand kilometers. The existence of such an extensive communication network in a brain weighing only 1400 grams is astonishing.
Consider these figures a little more closely. Neurons are so small that fifty average sized ones could fit on the period at the end of this sentence.62 It is for this reason that a great amount of what we know about neurons has been obtained indirectly.
When we examine the communication extensions on nerve cells, we see that on every neuron there are many dendrites that transmit communication from other neurons to the body of the cell. Most frequently, the function of the single axon is to transmit the message received from the body of the cell through the terminals and extensions.
At this point, we must point out the special design of axons. A special covering layer called "myelin sheath" encloses an axon. Nerve impulses are propagated at specific points along the myelin sheath;these points are called "the nodes of Ranvier." Research has shown that signals jumping from node to node travel hundreds of times faster than signals traveling along the surface of the axon.63The sheath and "nodes" on the axon make it possible for the signal to be transmitted in the most suitable and rapid manner.
Neurons establish communication in our bodies by a unique method that comprises extraordinarily complex electrical and chemical operations, ensuring flawless coordination both in the brain and between the brain and other organs. When you complete a simple action, such as holding this book in your hands, flipping its pages or running your eye through its sentences, there is a very dense communication traffic in the nerve cells deep within your body. Examining closely the neurons that establish this extraordinary communication network will help us to understand better what an important wonder of creation they are.
Design in the Synapses
The communication between two neurons happens between connective points called "synapses" located on the ends of the axon terminals. Just as a telephone central allows many people to communicate with one another at the same time, in a similar way, a neuron can communicate with several neurons currently through the synapses. Hundreds of millions of telephone conversations can be made in the world at the same time. Compared with this, it is estimated that there are one quadrillion synapses in the human brain, all which add up to 1,000,000,000,000,000 communications.64This extraordinary communication is an important factor that has led scientists to refer to the brain as "the most complex structure in the known universe."65
We can also say this in another way: a typical nerve cell in the human brain, for example, harbors tens of thousands of synapses.66This means that one neuron can establish a connection at the same time with tens of thousands of different nerve cells. Imagine the difficulty you would have talking on two telephones at the same time; this feat by one nerve cell of tens of thousands of simultaneous connections is an example of a marvelous creation.
Until recently, the communication junctions among neurons were thought to be stable, but once again scientists have been surprised by the fact that the shape of synapses change according to the structure of the chemical messenger. Professor Eric Kandel received the Nobel Prize in 2000 for this discovery. This expert design can be summarized as follows: there exists a mechanism in the synapse that alters the form of the synapse according to the strength of the stimulus. When it receives a powerful stimulus, the synapse makes it possible for this stimulus to be transmitted to other cells, undiminished, and in the most productive way. Another important point to be emphasized is that this system was understood after experiments on sea slugs. Professor Kandel himself confessed that the nervous system in human beings and mammals is too complex for research to understand completely.67
Chemical Communication in Neurons
Most people think that the connection between neurons is established only by electric signals. This is not true, since chemical communication is an important part of this process. When we investigate the communication between two neurons, we understand better the wonderful elements in chemical communication.
The chemical communication involves of messenger molecules called "neurotransmitters." These are produced in the body of the nerve cell, carried along the axon, and stored in tiny vesicles on the axon terminals. In each vesicle there are about five thousand units of transmitter.68 Recent research has shown that neurons can contain and release more than one kind of chemical messengers.69In other words, every neuron is like a chemical plant that produces the messengers that will be used in communication.
The neuron that sends the signal is the "transmitter" and the one to which it is sent the "receiver." The transmitter and receiver neurons meet at the synapse, a space about 0.00003 of a millimeter.70
A particular electric signal activates the messengers on the axon terminal of the transmitting nerve cell. The synaptic endings filled with chemical messengers combine with the cell membrane and release the molecules inside them into the synapse cavity.
The message carried by the messengers is sent to the receptors on the membrane of the receiving neuron. Different receptors establish a connection with different messenger molecules. The message carried by the chemical messenger molecules is thus perceived by the receiver neuron.
We have described this system only in rough outline, and every stage of it is filled with operations that have not been completely resolved by scientists. In fact, scientists have had only a murky picture of some of the events relative to this communication.71
Consider the fusion of the synaptic ending with the cell membrane. The operation described by the word "fusion" is a very special union similar to the connection of a modular unit to a highly advanced computer. The connection of a part to a computer depends on complicated engineering calculations. Otherwise, the part will not fit the computer, and the computer may even be ruined. A cell is much more complex than a computer, and a harmonious union of a neurotransmitter with a cell membrane is not a random occurrence. All these complex operations that happen at every moment are under the control of God Who created them.
The Planning and Timing in the Messenger Molecules
The density of the chemical messengers and the time they remain in the synapse cavity directly influence the communication between the two neurons. Different mechanisms exist for each chemical messenger. Some messengers disperse after they deliver their messages. Others are broken down by special enzymes after they have performed their functions. For example, the messenger molecule called "acetylcholine" is converted by a special enzyme into choline and acetate.
There is yet another marvelous mechanism in the nerve cells: The messengers that transmit a message to the receptor cell are gathered back again into the transmitter cell and are stored there to be used in a subsequent message. This operation is performed by a few special molecules. The activity of the dopamine and serotonin molecules is regulated in this way. If we consider how difficult it is to recycle products, we can better understand the effectiveness of this mechanism in the nerve cells.
Every phase of chemical communication occurs within an incredibly delicate balance. Every messenger molecule used in every communication, and every protein and enzyme that performs a function in the various stages, must be designed. The number of messenger molecules that will be stored, how long the receiver cell will be stimulated, the time for disintegration or reassembly are a part of the necessary communication balances. Moreover, an important number of details relating to communication balances is still unknown.
Parkinson's disease is a condition that destroys muscle coordination, makes movement difficult, and causes tremors. The cause of this disease is the destruction of the balance between the messenger molecules dopamine and acetylcholine. When some nerve cells in the brain produce less dopamine than is required, the result is the loss of muscle control. This fact came to light only recently (Professor Arvid Carlsson was awarded by the Nobel Prize for his discovery).
These delicate balances and complex mechanisms are not composed of a random series of events. The One Who creates them, keeps them under His power, gives them to the service of human beings and takes them back again when He wishes, is God, to Whom belongs eternal power and knowledge.
The Electrical Communication Between Neurons
At every moment, every nerve cell experiences a complex conversion. Communication via neurons is an operation that occurs when electro-chemical or chemical messengers generate an electrical signal.
In order to understand electrical communication, we must first consider another balance mechanism: the marvelous balance formed by the electric charge in nerve cells, the ions. Ions perform an important function within neurons; there is one positively charged sodium and potassium ion, two positively charged calcium ions and one negatively charged chloride ion. In addition, there are some negatively charged protein molecules.
In its resting state, a neuron is negatively charged. In this state, negatively charged proteins and various ions are within the nerve cell. Compared to the number outside, there are more potassium ions and less chloride and sodium ions inside the neuron.72 These are not arranged at random, and this proportion is specially determined and maintained.
The message left on the membrane receptors in the nerve cell initiates a serial operation in the cell that is reminiscent of the domino effect. In the course of this operation whose details are not yet fully known, it is thought that hundreds of proteins perform a function. This operation happens serially and in perfect order, causing particular ion channels to open on the cell's membrane. The result is that the sodium ions that are taken inside the cell neutralize the cell that earlier had a negative electric charge (-70 millivolts). The transfer of ions between the inside and the outside of the cell creates an electric signal. The operations that we have described here in the simplest of terms begin and end in less than one thousandth of a second.
The signal that is created travels quickly along the axon and initiates the chemical operations that will pass the message to other cells on the synapse points on the ends of the terminals. The average speed of the signal along the axon is 120 meters per second.73 A simple calculation will show us that this speed equals 432 kilometers per hour.
The nerve cell that transmitted the message completes its task and returns to its resting state. This restoration happens by the opening and closing of the sodium and potassium channels within a period of less than one thousandth of a second. Without a clock produced by means of high technology, you cannot measure one thousandth of a second. Imagine that you had such a watch; you still could not coordinate the opening and closing of the ion channels on one single nerve cell. If you attempted to initiate the millions of operations that occur every moment, a mistake in the timing of just one thousandth of a second would derail the operations.
An Evident Fact
There is another feature that distinguishes neurons from the rest of our cells. Other cells in our bodies are constantly being renewed but neurons do not change. With age, their number decreases but the nerve cells present in a person's old age are the same ones he had in his youth. What has been described to this point has been a really simplified account of communication systems in the neurons that function throughout a person's life. Even someone with intelligence and knowledge would have difficulty understanding these things; cells and hormones have performed these functions very successfully without error in the millions of individuals that have lived in the world since the beginning.
How did these highly complex systems in each one of our nerve cells come into being? How did the incredible harmony among the hundreds of millions of cells in our bodies come into existence? How is such marvelous communication system ensured without confusion arising? How does this system, which depends on remarkably delicate balance and timing, work without making an error?
It is natural that hundreds of questions about "how" fill the human mind. Despite all these facts, some scientists vainly try to defend the evolutionist claim that these flawless systems came to be totally as a result of blind chance. Impossible is not too strong a word to describe the attempts of evolutionists who try to connect the origins of life to an imaginary "primeval cell" formed by chance; they have no answers to the questions posed above.
One point in articles written by evolutionists attracts our attention; there is no scientific explanation of how evolution happens. Instead, they propose that the molecules and proteins that function in communication appear at some stage in so-called evolution, and that they have come down to us with no change in their structure. Certainly, a claim such as this, which has not even the slightest proof, is an immense deceit. In the guise of science, they play a game of words designed to deny creation.
There is no doubt that there is only one explanation why such a marvelous mechanism has come into existence: God, the Lord of all worlds, creates cells from nothing. It is our Lord, the Creator of us all, Who designs the incredibly complex and interconnected communication systems in cells down to their finest details. It is God Who gave never resting atoms, proteins and molecules to our service; and it is only He Who is worthy to be praised and exalted.
All praise belongs to God, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the Earth, Lord of all the worlds. All greatness belongs to Him in the heavens and Earth; He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.

BMW company 2012 award promotion scam email
Posted by TechGeek on May 23, 2012
An interesting fake email received with subject line as "CONGRATULATION!!!" with the file attachment. Generally, such fake email contains information about fake promotion, lottery promotion or winning notification in the email body itself but not with this email. This time scammer didn't add any detailed information into the email body rather contained a bold message line asking to view the attachment. The attachment was nothing but a Microsoft document file with file name "BMW__2012_AWARD_PROMO2012_3.doc". Here is the screenshot of the email:
We recommend you to never download any attachment from unknown sender. The attached doc file contains the scam message with images and winning notification along with phone number of scammer. Here is the screenshot of the message:
Interestingly, the scammer has put this usual email subject in the doc file instead of in email body. This may be intentionally done by the scammer to avoid the email being detected as a spam by email vendors. The message says that you have won a brand BMW car worth of GBP 22,500. Also along with winning car, you have also won some additional benefits shown in below message:
Then scam message asks for your personal information to be sent over the email provided.
Look at the above information, the message asks your bank details. This is really scary if someone accidentally sends the bank details to the scammer. Lastly, scammer provides his/her own information like name, phone and email:
Interesting to see that scammers are sending scam messages inside the document file and not in the email body. This scam is more dangerous as it uses brand name like BMW and asks for your bank account details.
Never share any details over the phone or email.

If you're having trouble signing onto Xbox Live, you are not alone. Microsoft is aware of the issue and is "actively investigating," according to the official Xbox Support Twitter account. The Xbox Live status page notes that users may have trouble signing into Xbox Live via Xbox.com, though we've experienced the same issue when logging in via the Xbox 360 itself.
Service is back up and running according to official Xbox service website.
On my day off too.... all I wanted to do was blast some folks on Ghost Recon. Guess I will try signing into PSN :P
Edit: http://support.xbox.com/en-...
matchmaking is working though! so you can connect with...... no one.
Not all users are effected by this outage.
Affected my boy AFFECTED!!
Grammar Nazi mode off.
Look at that, only a few hours!
They fixed it faster than some other companies take their service down for maintenance. Heck, they fixed it faster than Amazon EC2 (cloud) fixes their outage for their enterprise ready service. The one that Netflix uses for their excellent streaming service!
That is why I love Xbox Live, they report issues, both on their website and the twitter page even if it only affects a small subset of people.
When XBL do maintenance, I don't even know, because the servers don't need to be taken down so you don't hear that XBL has a scheduled maintenance. It just happens in the background!
Heck, even the patches are done on the fly as in I don't have to log out or restart the game. The patch is downloaded and applied while my game is running and I'm good to go within a minute!
No large, slow downloads or game restarts.
I effected bullets on target in a Battlefield 3 game today. I had no issues.
@egidem and all those that agreed.
A spelling mistake is not grammar.
"the study of the classes of words, their inflections, and their functions and relations in the sentence"
Teacher Mode OFF!!
Confusing Effect and Affect is not a spelling error. It's a grammar error, same as "there, their, they're".
They were using the wrong word, if they had put "Efect", then you could call it a spelling error.
Works fine for me so It's not down. Just because a very few select users can't log into xbox live doesn't mean the whole Xbox live is down.
The title is incorrect and misleading and only a re*ard can't tell the difference as Xbox live is not down. I was just at my brother house watching him play Forza 4 online. Just because a few people can't go online don't mean Xbox live is down because it is not.
And you know PSN only users were just itching to say something else negative about Xbox Live lol. I use PSN and Xbox Live and I'm happy with both, I just hate fanboys.
And of course on N4G, the Sony fanboys flooded to this post because it was a negative for Xbox
@KidBroSweets2 , because there were so many comments about how PSN is better? Oh yeah, that's right, there wasn't a single comment like that. Nice try, though.
Saying N4G is full of PS3 fanboys is so 2009, get over it bro.
no problems here, hope its sorted soon for those affected tho.
gotta love disagrees for stating facts. I live near LAX, just outside of Los Angeles. It's almost noon on friday, and it's down...has been for 2 hours. Disagree if you want to.
Whether you pay for it or not, it just sucks that you can't play when you want to. $hit happens, so it's too early to flame. I just hope it's back on soon since I actually have free time today.
@rogimus...I live about 20 min from LAX in van nuys and it's working fine as of now for me... One time, my internet was down and i made the mistake of saving my game in the cloud... Won't be doing that again. ;)
Sucks for you. Huntington Beach Cali, right below you, and I'm online just fine.. have been all day.
I disagreed because guess what I disagreed with what you said. I live in Los Angeles as well and everything works well like I said in the my first post just because it's "allegedly" not working for you doesn't mean it's down for everyone.
You know how the internet is N4G at least is they see something bad about MS and the Xbox and everyone tries to jump on the band wagon claiming it happened to them too.
We disagreed, because plenty of us has no issues including matchmaking which was not affected. Besides, it was fixed within hours. I call that pretty good for the few that was affected.
You can go back to your PSN if you think it is a better service. We won't miss you.
"One time, my internet was down and i made the mistake of saving my game in the cloud."
on XBL, the cloud saves are saved locally on your hard drive so you shouldn't have any issues when your internet goes down. The only time it is a problem is when you run out of the 512MB of space allocated to cloud saves, then some saves get deleted to save space for your more recent games.
@ blue7_7 "allegedly" not working? I posted the link from MS saying it wasn't working. My internet was otherwise fine, or else I wouldn't have been able to post.
"You can go back to your PSN if you think it is a better service. We won't miss you. "
wow, fanboy much ? :)
it's not better (except real servers vs uggly p2p), it's the same thing...but free ! (so most of smart gamers are already using it)
It's not down for me or for 5 people online on my friends list. It does suck for the people who don't have access though.
Wow. I don't know where this came from? I just logged into Xbox live seconds ago and it's fine and is fine for loads of my friends that are online right now LOL. Yeah. It's not down.
It came from MICROSOFT!
Microsoft and some users are reporting issues with Xbox Live but it's all a load of rubbish because YOU can log in!
The denial of some people on N4G astounds me!
What came from MS? Not this misleading title that for sure. MS said that they are aware that there are (some issues) ... No where did MS say Xbox live is down and he never said no one else can't log in, he just stated its working fine for him and as I'm sure many others. So maybe you should stop being in denial and stop wishing it was down.
Why would I wish it was down? Because I just love dropping £35 down on Xbox Live for my 360 to find it goes down and I can't sign in. If I and others can't sign in then it's down. Might not be down Worldwide, but it is still down. If it wasn't then I would be playing Gears online right now.
Tell me what would you call it if you couldn't sign in? Jeez! Instead of getting defensive over the title, try reading the article itself!
Why would your drop £35 when you don't even own an XBOX?
I don't own an Xbox now?
And you know this how? Thats right. You don't! You think I don't because I said something bad against MS! Grow up! Not everyone has blind love for companies like some here do.
Either way I couldn't care less. Xbox Live is now back up for me so I'm off to play some Gears 3 online.
@StanSmith above
You know, you could have told him that without the personal attacks.
dont matter if its down for me or not cuz i never use the shit
The HAX! Oh noes my credit card information!! Curse the internetz!
Cmon, it's not PSN we're talking about here :)
big difference here between 'gone down' as in "service difficulties" and 'gone down' as in "breached by hackers"
oh no!! ppl cant play COD?!?! at least sony warns ppl when the network is going down.. (most of the time) XD
Ok I'm on PS3, and even I admit that's pushing it. The free games did make up for it though. Still playing LBP. Good luck gamers, hope Live comes back to life again lol.
bu bu bu Xboxzz Livezzz neverz go downzzzzZZz!
No matter if you pay or if its free it will go down eventually
Still getting over the PSN network being down for over 2 weeks I see.
You obviously didn't read his second sentence: "No matter if you pay or if its free it will go down eventually"
...and totally missed his point. Unless you're one of those trolls on the 'psn maintenaince' articles, you shouldn't have to be offended, since it's directed at specifically those bias bums.
What about Steam?
Steam's fine... until *your* internet connection is down. Then you can't play a damn thing unless you convert it to Offline Mode... for which you need an internet connection to switch. Still love it - the sales get me every time.
My workaround was 3G tethering, lol.
No one ever said Xbox Live "neverz go downzzzzZZz" it just hasn't been hacked yet.
or... they never told us it has been down. Common practice with banks, government, they never tell you something has happened with your data.
Actually, it was hacked, and a short while after, sloten codes for ms points, xbox live and games were being used like mad. Microsoft couldn't do anything about it since they didn't know who had the stolen codes.
I guess I logged in before the problem started. Because I am still logged in. I am guessing I will have problems. If I log out & then try logging in later. There is probably just a lot of traffic on XBOX Live. Which is causing trouble. Which has happened before. Unlike Sony & the hacking situation which Sony warned nobody about. Hey if everyone else is going to take shots & they will
Lol seeing as everyone's having a pop i'll join to.
A paid for service should never go down because of traffic. That would be the worst thing ever as it's not an uncontrollable outside source.
I have to agree with you. A paid service should never go down i dont want no excuses either. LOL
Hacked! Hacked! CREDIT CARDS!
this is the end!
Trolled! Trolled!
When will the trolling end?!?!
not down here
Down where and for who? It's working fine for me? I just turned it on and signed in just now?
It was down about for an hour but with "Speedy Delivery" its fixed.
it's not fixed.
Ya it is, reset your mom's internet router if your still having issues.
I like how people don't realize that there is more than one server, and that there are other places in the world. Like Texas... and Saskatchewan.
Just the used the PSN, Oh my god its CRAP,I decided to play batman sigle player insted.
Ps3 fanboys are just dying for xbox live to be down for 3 weeks
Yea because Xbox fanboys make us feel like shit for buying a ps3. If it was the other way around it would be the same situation.
its true, u can disagree all u want. but if someone actually felt sorry for the ps3 users during our outage instead of laughing their asses off then maybe the ps3 fanboys would ignore this server difficulty.
XBL is down for me. Tried downloading my profile and it doesn't work. Now I can't seem to find my profile because it's now missing in the profile section.
Wow. Who are the idiots running around clicking disagree?
I'm in New York, it's 1:30pm here and I can't sign at all. This is pissing me off, I don't expect this when I payed $60 to play online for the year. GET ON IT M$!
This is what you posted 5 days ago. You seem to care much about the 360.
"Wow, Lost Odyssey huh? That game garnished 6's and 7's galore. PS3 got Demon's Souls and 360 got Lost Odyssey, wow LOL...No wonder COD is pretty much the only game played on LIve. If those were my choices I would only play COD too. What a joke the XBOX 360 is."
Just because I hate M$ doesnt mean I don't own a 360 you moron. Gamertag: OnlineMurder420, FACT. Now who's trolling you asshole? I just played COD last night online before this shit so STFU.
more StrawberryDiesel420 and his love for his "360"
"Really, because LA Noire runs better on PS3 and it isn't four discs like 360 version, it's one disc you fucking troll. There's plenty of other multiplats that look better on PS3 and don't screen tear like hell, latest would be Prototype 2 and Dragon's Dogma, so troll harder. Nice try though..."
"No screen tearing to be found here in PS3 version unlike the 360 version which is absolutely full of screen tearing, it's everywhere."
"Ummm, no. MGS4 has plenty of varied gameplay with fairly challenging boss battles. Please don't talk like you played it when you most certainly didn't. Oh, and MGS4 got a 10 over at IGN, what 360 exclusive have they awarded a perfect score to again?? Oh wait...."
"Fitness for the 360 crowd?? Yea....ok, good luck with those slobs LOL"
"Yup, SONY screwed up bigtime by not making this beautiful rpg exclusive to PS3."
You claim you own a 360 and pay for Live. In reality, you're a little boy that can't convince mommy to pay for Live. Please get out of N4G.

Transcript: Larry Cafiero's press conference
Linux for the GNU South – Attend if you can.
Editor's note: On a cloudy Monday in Felton, California, Larry Cafiero held a press conference at the solar-powered Felton Fire Station for the purpose of clarifying his departure from the Fedora Project and to dispel any of the rumors that had been flying around regarding this departure.
A transcript of the press conference follows:
Larry Cafiero: (to himself moreso than the press, as he sits down behind a bank of microphones) Okay, let's light this candle.
LC: Before we start, I have a statement to read and then, obviously, I'll take questions.
As many of you know, I recently resigned my office as a member of the Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee (FAmSCo), my position as a Fedora Ambassador mentor and my membership in the Fedora Project. As I had confided in some of the Fedora leadership a few months ago, I had been planning to relinquish much of my responsibilities in Fedora after OSCON in order to pursue other FOSS projects that I will outline later. I had decided recently to advance the date of my departure. Having been a part of the Fedora Project since 2008, I am proud to have served with a number of outstanding individuals, and some not so outstanding, and I still believe that the Fedora Project is the standard by which FOSS projects should be judged. I am still a Fedora user, first and foremost, despite no longer being part of the project.
I'll be glad to take questions now.
Reporter: A blog called the Fifth Pillar speculates that you'll be doing a variety of work with other projects — OMGUbuntu and Gentoo to name two. Even the possibility of drumming for Jono Bacon's band Severed Fifth was mentioned. Any truth to these rumors?
LC: I saw that blog item by my good friend Mark Terranova. No, there is no truth to any of those rumors, though truth be told I think I could jam with Jono and, probably unknown to Mark, I do play the acoustic Theremin in various folk jam bands. As for Gentoo, that's a joke since it's known far and wide that I've never been able to get that distro to run since I started using Linux in 2006.
Ultimately, it's my fault that these rumors got started. One of the things I want to apologize for is how I handled notifying people about my departure, because I really fumbled it badly. To be honest, I didn't think my departure would matter to anyone outside of those who had an administrative interest in my leaving — those who needed to reassign my duties and replace me on FAmSCo. But apparently a lot of other people who I should have told felt they were left in the dark. While I don't mean to sound egotistical, I did get a lot of "Hey, what happened?" e-mails after resigning, and I want to apologize to those who were wondering what was going on.
If I had a chance to do it over again, I would have contacted more people to let them know my plans. But here we are, with the barn door open and the horse prancing in the field.
Reporter: To follow up on this one, in the OMGUbuntu graphic, it has you as Yoda calling Mark Shuttleworth a "clown." Does this reflect your dislike for Shuttleworth or Ubuntu?
LC: No. I don't dislike Mark Shuttleworth or Ubuntu. Let me give you the short- and long-versions behind this aspect of the story. I made a comment on Facebook on a photo of Linux Pro Magazine's associate publisher Rikki Kite with Mark Shuttleworth to the effect of, "Nice picture, Rikki, but who's that clown next to you?" Or something like that. Mostly harmless, and completely tongue-in-cheek. I think Mark Terranova ran with that, referring to a dust-up I had last year with many Ubunteros and Mark Shuttleworth over a blog item I wrote about pointing out another item regarding how much — or actually, how little — Canonical/Ubuntu contributes back to the community in the way of technical support, as well as Mark Shuttleworth's response to my blog posting.
Because I am critical of some aspects of Ubuntu does not mean I dislike it, or the community. I have used Ubuntu in the past and my daughter is an Ubuntu user. I would say I have differences of opinion on some aspects of how things are done in Ubuntu — regarding how LoCos promote a "separate but equal" policy in keeping LUGs at arm's length, for example — but I appreciate, deeply appreciate, Canonical and Ubuntu's artesian contribution to the promotion — the promotion — of Linux. However I don't think this gives them a pass when their contributions back to the kernel development, for example, are woefully lacking. In other words, I don't tell the emperor he's got great clothes when he's wearing nothing at all.
Also, I like Mark Shuttleworth and I think he's an interesting guy. Anyone who puts his efforts to the degree that Mark does behind FOSS is OK with me, to say the least. Besides, he's been to space. The closest I've been to space is a Grateful Dead concert.
Reporter: You mention other FOSS project you're planning to work on. Which are they?
LC: I've been working on the Southern California Linux Expo for the last few years, and I want to devote more time to doing press work for it. I think SCALE has the potential to eclipse OSCON as the premiere West Coast Linux event. Also, I am jump-starting the Lindependence Project, and we'll hold another Lindependence event like we did in 2008 in Felton — only it will be held in conjunction with Software Freedom Day instead of on Independence Day.
One more thing: I have a Facebook app I am working on called Lifeville — so far, it's a simple script that, when you click on the start button, brings up a message that says: "Real life exists beyond this screen. Your computer is now shutting down. Go outside." It's GPLed and CC-licensed.
Reporter: I wonder if you can comment on this line taken from your statement — "some not so outstanding" — meaning, I assume, some people you may have had disagreements or friction with in the Fedora Project.
LC: Yes, I can, and thank you for bringing that up. So much for slipping that under the radar (laughter). Clearly, when you have a group that's as big as the Fedora community, not everyone is going to be dancing in unison around the proverbial May pole. With strong personalities comes strong disagreements — this is clearly a part of the process.
But since FUDCon, I have felt that there has been some discord in the project that has fostered a lot of ill will. One example of this is a movement started in Europe around "give back our distro" or something along those lines which, personally, I thought was a pitch in the dirt that a lot of Fedora folks who should know better were swinging at. Now I don't mind disagreeing, but I do mind having people be disagreeable, and those who know me know that, when provoked, I can be disagreeable with the best of them; Olympic-caliber disagreeable. I have to plead guilty to provoking some of the ill-feeling that this issue has fostered, and I am sorry about that. As a part of the leadership at the FAmSCo level, it was probably unacceptable for me to take such a strong stand against against this, despite how stupid I thought it was, and still think it is.
I think, too, there is a degree of burnout involved in my resignation, but much of that burnout was borne of having to do my duties and also participating in this discussions/debates/arguments that took a lot of valuable time and a lot of effort away from what I, and others, should have been doing.
Reporter: So in other words . . .
LC: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I wanted to add one more thing to this in order to give this a clearer context. As I mentioned in the statement, I believe that the Fedora Project does things right, whether it's engineering an outstanding distro every six months or whether it's promoting it through an Ambassador program that wrote the textbook on promoting a distro, or a Design team that is second to none. A great part of that is the solid community that drives Fedora, despite a handful of malcontents, and much of the credit can be given to Red Hat for their outstanding support. When a billion-dollar company like Red Hat "gets it" — that is, understands how FOSS works and how they clearly benefit from it — it provides a perfect symbiosis between Red Hat and the Fedora Project where those who are working in the Fedora Project reap the benefits of this relationship.
Reporter: Do you see yourself going back to the Fedora Project at any time in the future, or do you think that you'll catch on with another distro or FOSS program?
LC: I'd gladly return to the Fedora Project at some time in the future and, as I mentioned, I'm still primarily a Fedora user. One of the things that I'd also like to explore is being a community leader/organizer — or, like Red Hat's Karsten Wade, a "community gardener" — for a project that I believe in. But while my resume sits on the runway should something in this area come up, I'm still immediately focused on Lindependence and SCALE at the moment.
(Silence follows, with no further questions forthcoming).
LC: OK, so thank you all for coming, and thank you for staying awake.
(Larry Cafiero runs Redwood Digital Research in Felton, California, and is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation. He is also one of the founders of the Lindependence Project.)

Harris homers in sixth straight game
Giants prospect stays on a tear with seventh dinger this week
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | April 30, 2013 9:44 PM ET
Modesto will be glad to see the last of slugging outfielder Devin Harris for a while. Unfortunately now it's Bakersfield's turn to try and cool off the Minors' hottest hitter.
The reigning California League Offensive Player of the Week homered for the sixth consecutive game Tuesday in the Class A Advanced San Jose Giants' 8-5 loss to the Blaze.
"I've always been a humble person and I'm concentrating on game by game and at-bat by at-bat," he said. "I'm not focusing on accolades, that's definitely not my goal.
"I would rather be regarded as a good hitter than a power hitter. I'm not going out there trying to hit home runs just for the sake of a streak."
Since April 24, the 25-year-old is batting .440 with seven longballs and 16 RBIs. No San Jose batter has homered in six consecutive games in at least eight years.
Harris hit his ninth homer of the season in the first inning of Tuesday's contest. Right-hander Jake Johnson fell behind, 2-0, and Harris fouled off the third pitch he saw. He did not miss the next offering, turning on the 2-1 pitch and depositing it over the left-field wall.
"We had never seen this pitcher before," said Harris, who had not been on the losing end in seven games this season in which he had gone deep. "He had already thrown me a slider, but I don't really sit on much at that point in the count. I'm just reacting to pitches.
"It's the first time we've played this team this year, so it's hard to guess on a certain pitch in a certain count."
The 6-foot-3 right-handed hitter struck out on six pitches in the third and grounded into a double play in the fifth. He singled to right field to lead off the eighth, but he was picked off by Carlos Gonzalez with the potential tying run at the plate.
With Tuesday's outing, Harris tied Fort Myers slugger Miguel Sano for the Minor League home run lead with nine. He leads the California League with 17 extra-base hits, 65 total bases and 26 RBIs, the latter of which is two behind West Virginia's Josh Bell and Fresno's Brett Pill for the most in the Minors.
Harris' power run started in the second of six consecutive contests against Modesto on Wednesday, when he took Nuts starter Tyler Gagnon deep for a three-run homer -- his third of the year.
The East Carolina product cracked a solo shot off reliever Nick Schnaitmann on Thursday and then cleared the fences twice Friday, the second of which snapped a 4-4 tie in the 12th inning.
The following day he smacked a two-run homer off Nuts starter Ben Alsup, and on Sunday, he was one of three Giants to take Daniel Winkler yard.
"I've had some good stretches, but nothing quite like this," Harris said. "The only one I can remember was three straight games in school, but obviously the games are spread out and it's harder to get in a rhythm.
"The team comes first. I want the team to win first and the numbers to come second. At the start of the season our manager [Andy Skeels] told us that if we focus on the team, your numbers will come if you play the game the right way."
On Tuesday, Bakersfield first baseman Dominic D'Anna was 2-for-5 with three RBIs and backstop Chris Berset collected two hits, a walk and three RBIs in the win.
Bakersfield starting pitcher Johnson (2-1) yielded five runs on nine hits over six innings. He struck out three and walked one.
San Jose starter Clayton Blackburn allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over six innings. He did not factor in the decision.

Nostradamus says, "The imprisoned prince will conquer Italy'. In other words, someone that was previously arrested, jailed. He calls him a prince. He says that person will conquer Italy. That's also what Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) says. Nostradamus says: "He will cross the sea", so he will come through the sea, "and conquer all places from Genoa to Marseilles". "He will defeat the foreigners, and he will make a great effort and do it without using any bullets'. He says, he will take those places without shedding any blood. Masha'Allah, masha'Allah. Completely compliant with the hadiths of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). He says 'he won't use any bullets' that 'he will defeat the foreigners': By educating them, talking to them, persuading them. 'He will make a great effort' he says, "'He will cross the sea, and arrive by sea' and continues: 'He will be victorious from Genoa to Marseiles'. 'He will conquer Italy, but before that, he will be arrested'. He is very clear with this narration. There is nothing vague. Masha'Allah. Very compliant with the hadiths.
Amos 6:11 For behold, the Lord commands, and he shall smite the great house into splinters, and the small house into chips. This is from chapter 6, verse 11 in Amos. It clearly explains 9/11. Indeed, the buildings were smitten into splinters and chips. There were two buildings and both came down. First the big houses around them collapsed, followed by the smaller ones. They were burnt to ashes.
The Torah is full of these amazing explanations. I was just looking at it, and I immediately spotted this; there are many others. For example, they talk about the incidents in Egypt, incidents in Syria, how Syria was going to be like this and they are very lengthy descriptions. It is really very interesting.
"When Mahdi (as) appears, those who consider themselves as his followers… Those who used to defend Hz. Mahdi (as) will stop doing that" says Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). Very thought worthy. At the moment, people are talking about neither Hz. Mahdi (as), or the End Times, or the anti-Christ. The Messenger (pbuh) says "People who are distant from religion, will believe in Hz. Mahdi (as)". In other words, the materialists, the Darwinists. Masha' Allah.
"Qaim (Mahdi) will encounter more challenges in his struggle than Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) came when people were worshipping stone and wooden idols. However, those who go against the Qaim (Hz. Mahdi), will do that by using the Book of God. They will wage a war against Hz. Mahdi through the book of God. In other words, they will claim that they are following the Qur'an, while following their superstitions instead. For example, the headscarf is not an obligation according to the Qur'an, but despite that, they will say 'it is'. It is not mentioned in Surah Nur , but they will say 'it is' and Mahdi (as) will explain the truth. They will try to use the Qur'an to fight him, but they will misinterpret the Qur'an in their attempts to do so.
'When Imam Mahdi is called to prayer, he will worship to God with His Hebrew name' Insha'Allah. This is in Bihar-al Anwar.
Al Qaim, one of the grandsons of Hz. Ali (ra), will turn the world into a whole new one. The world we know will completely change. There will be no more wars, no more fights, no more tyranny or oppression. Everywhere you look, you will see amazing architecture, breathtaking beauties. 'There will be no place left that Mahdi (as) has not planted, or made green'. The hadith makes it clear that he will make the whole world green.
'It is Al-Qaim that resembles Prophet Jesus the most in terms of appearance, character and nobility'. Our Prophet (pbuh) explains this. So Mahdi will really look like Prophet Jesus, a lot, with his face, his character and personality.
'God will give Hz. Mahdi everything that He gave to the prophets.' Hz. Mahdi (as) will be the summary of all prophets. 'More than that, He will choose Hz. Mahdi (as) over all of them.' In other words, Hz. Mahdi (as) will be superior to many prophets. This is mentioned in the Ahl-us Sunnah resources.
'He will disappear just like Prophet Joseph (as) disappeared'. Like getting arrested, being jailed. 'He will appear just like Jesus, son of Mary, appeared.'
'People will swear allegiance to him (Mahdi) so that he will rule with a new method, new principles and new rules.' The whole world is changing. The tone, the attitude, moods, personality, rules, the understanding of religion will completely change.
'None of the armies (students) of Mahdi (as) can be defeated until they die.' He says, they are invincible. Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) says that it is not possible until they die.
"'When Qaim Mahdi (as) comes, he will come with new principles and rules' says Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). 'He will rule with a new sunnah and new thoughts.' It will be a very modern, loving, friendly world, where democracy, brotherhood and peace flourish.
'There is no son like him in terms of honor and virtue' he says for Hz. Mahdi (as). Masha' Allah.
'He will be victorious over people and the jinns'.
'He will leave no place unplanted'. According to Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) everywhere will be green.
'Join those who reach him'. So he says that those who are his contemporaries should join Hz. Mahdi (as). 'Blessed be those who join him and see his days'. Masha' Allah.
'Mahdi (as) and his students will settle down at the places where Prophet Noah resided.' Where? Turkey. So Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) tells us about the country.2013-10-17 21:08:10

The best part… Coromega Heart Omega-3 with CoQ10 Squueze Juicy Orange tastes great! Each Coromega Heart Omega 3 with CoQ10 Squueze Juicy Orangeserving has your full daily dose of both heart-boosting supplements. Frequently Asked Questions What are Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids?Omega-3 fatty acids are important components of cellular and membrane lipids (the chief structural constituents of living cells) that are essential for life and health. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are two groups of essential fatty acids (EFAs) that cannot be synthesized by the human body and therefore must be ingested in the foods we eat or by supplementing our diets. Can't we get enough Omega-3 from the foods we eat?Generally, no. Many researchers believe that the majority of Omega-3 food sources have disappeared from the modern diet. The foods that are now considered "mainstream" are often deficient in Omega-3. Even if your diet includes several meals of fish per week, you may not be ingesting sufficient amounts of Omega-3. This is because much of the fish we consume is now farm raised or does not contain significant amounts of Omega-3. Ideally, your diet should supply at least 650 mg of long chain Omega-3 (DHA + EPA) per day, either from food sources or dietary supplementation. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in deep, cold-water fish, such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. One packet of Coromega provides 650 mg of Omega-3, the amount recommended by the NIH (National Institutes of Health). What can you tell me about the purity and safety of Coromega? I've heard that fish oil can contain mercury and other toxins.Coromega is committed to providing safe and pure products for you and your family. The oil used in Coromega comes from small, deep, cold-water fish that are less likely to be contaminated. The oil then undergoes molecular distillation, which removes toxins, heavy metals and PCBs. Coromega is manufactured in their state-of-the-art GMP compliant facility. Sophisticated testing methods assure that the purified fish oil used in the manufacture of Coromega is of the correct composition of fatty acids. Coromega is tested by third party laboratories and certified by NSF and consumerlab.com. Why don't I need to supplement my diet with Omega-6 and Omega-9?Our diets are already rich in Omega-6 from foods that contain corn, safflower, sunflower or soybean oils. The problem is actually the ratio between Omega-6 and Omega-3. Optimum health is often attained when these two essential fatty acids are found in the appropriate ratio. Most experts recommend a ratio of 4 to 1. However, the intake of Omega-6 to Omega-3 in modern society tends to be disproportionately high (a ratio found to be as high as 30 to 1). Scientists are now encouraging a decrease in the intake of Omega-6 while stressing an increase in the intake of Omega-3. Omega-9 is a monounsaturated fat found in animal fats and vegetable oils, most notably olive oil. Omega-9 is not considered an essential fatty acid because it can be produced by the body provided Omega-3 and Omega-6 are present, so supplementation is not required. Is it true Omega-3 can support a healthy heart and cardiovascular system?Yes, it can through a variety of ways. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids may reduce cardiovascular events, help to maintain arteries elasticity and support healthy triglyceride levels. Omega-3 allows for better circulation of blood by making the red blood cells more elastic and flow more fluidly; thus, helping to maintain overall cardiovascular health. The American Heart Association recommends two servings of fatty fish per week for healthy individuals to prevent heart disease and up to 2 to 4 grams of EPA and DHA for patients who wish to lower triglycerides. Is there any truth to the statement that fish is "brain food"?Yes. In fact, the most polyunsaturated of the Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) makes up a large portion of the gray matter of the brain and neurons, as well as the retina of the eye. Research in the last few years has revealed that diets rich in Omega-3 fatty acids may help promote a healthy emotional balance and positive mood. I'm pregnant. I heard that Omega-3 is good for my baby. Is this true?It is true. Omega-3, especially DHA, is important in the development and function of the brain and the eyes-especially during the last trimester (last three months) of pregnancy, and the first six months of life. During this period of rapidly growing brain development the unborn baby's Omega-3 needs must be met by its mother. While the mother is breast-feeding, Omega-3 fatty acids are passed to the baby through her milk. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) recommends that during pregnancy and lactation, women must ensure a DHA intake of 300 mg per day. As with any dietary supplement, consult your physician before taking. I have always associated fat with cholesterol. Does this product have a lot of cholesterol in it?No, it does not. Coromega has a negligible amount of cholesterol (10 mg per packet, which is equivalent to 3% of the Daily Value) from fish oil and egg yolk, which is added as an emulsifier. In other words, each packet contains the equivalent of 1/75th of an egg yolk. It is important to differentiate between "good" fat and "bad" fat. Fish oil, which contains long chain Omega-3 fatty acid, is considered a beneficial "good" fat. What about flaxseed oil? Isn't it a good source of Omega-3?Unlike fish oil, flaxseed oil does not contain EPA and DHA, two Omega-3s that play a crucial role in health and wellbeing. Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which must be converted to EPA and DHA for the body to absorb it. This conversion is quite inefficient, especially in children, seniors, diabetics and people with high blood pressure, therefore it may take up to 10 times as much flaxseed oil to produce an equivalent amount of EPA and DHA derived from fish oil. If I mix my daily dose packet of Coromega with yogurt or juice, will it alter its nutritional value?No. Coromega is tasty and convenient taken directly from the pouch, but it can also be introduced to your diet in many cool and creative ways and this will not alter the effectiveness. Mix with yogurt, blend in a smoothie, or squeeze on top of fruit or even ice cream. (Because Coromega is emulsified, it should not be heated or frozen because it will cause the emulsion to separate. Additionally, because Coromega is oil-based, it must be electronically blended into liquids - i.e. it won't simply stir into juices. See their 'Tasty Ideas' page for a smoothie recipe!) I like my daily dose of Coromega to be cold. Is it a problem if I want to keep my packets in the refrigerator?Not at all. Of course refrigeration is not necessary to keep your Coromega fresh. However, freezing should be avoided, as it will cause the emulsion to separate. Are Coromega fish oil products made with the triglyceride form of fish oil?Yes. Coromega's fish oil supplements, with the exception of High DHA products (Child Brain and Body and Prenatal OmegaBaby) are made with the naturally occurring triglyceride form of fish oil. So how exactly is their creamy Coromega concoction made? How can they possibly manage to eliminate the fishiness in their fish oil-based supplement?Coromega uses only high-quality fish oil, which has been purified and 3rd party tested in Norway before it arrives. Impurities are removed through a series of sophisticated processes, including molecular distillation, to provide a pure source of Omega-3. Then, at their very own state-of-the-art, NSF registered production facility in Vista, CA, they process, emulsify and package their high-quality fish oil, finishing it off in delicious natural fruit flavors without a fishy aftertaste. Why is Coromega Better?Why It's Better So what sets them apart? What makes them the best? What makes them the Alpha and Omega of all the Omega-3s out there? Well, now you just got them started… Taste! Their original Coromega comes in a refreshingly delicious, creamy, orange flavor with NO FISHY aftertaste common with fish oil softgels - and for variety they have these other delicious flavors: lemon lime, chocolate orange and peach! 300% Better Absorption Than Softgel Capsules Their patented emulsion process allows Coromega to be absorbed into your bloodstream more efficiently. By taking Coromega you get 300% better absorption of Omega-3 as compared to softgels! About Coromega It all started when a little girl in Norway wouldn't take her fish oil. Norwegians don't handle such news well. So her grandfather, who happened to be a renowned scientist, set to work to find a solution to this pesky problem. His discovery later became Coromega; a way for his loved one to get her Omega-3 in a way she enjoyed. After almost ten years of development, Grandpa Johan finally perfected the patented emulsion formula they use today. What a thought - make an Omega-3 supplement that actually tastes great. Since 1999, they have produced the most advanced delivery form of Omega-3, and have done Grandpa Johan proud by making it into incredibly tasty, natural citrus flavors with no fishy taste. As they say, the proof is in the pudding - and they've made it easy, just squeeze!

Meat company recalls over 4,000 pounds of beef over Mad Cow fears
(Washington, DC) -- A Missouri meat company is recalling more than four-thousand pounds of beef due to concerns about mad cow disease. The beef was turned into ribeyes and quartered sides of beef. The ribeyes were sent to a restaurant in New York City, while the sides were sent to a plant in Missouri and a restaurant in Kansas City for processing. If someone eats the tainted beef, they run the risk of getting the often fatal disease. Consumers can get more details about the recall from the website of the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
