Model Levi Jackson Takes a Dip in Utter Perfection – The Daily Swoon
Here's a fun game: Can you look at these photos of Levi Jackson without your mouth filling with saliva as if you were staring at photos of Cinnabons?
Levi Jackson is a model, obviously. Look at him. Of course he's a model. The man looks like he was sculpted by someone with really good taste and a sense of charity who wanted to share this creation with the entire world. Like, his body can't even be real because who has hips like that?!
He's so attractive that it's almost terrifying — there must be something really sinister going on, like when you watch one of those pleasantly innocuous videos on YouTube, and you're settling into it, and then BAM! Linda Blair's demon face from 'The Exorcist' pops up and screams at you and you refuse to click on any links your friends send you for the next month.
These photos of Levi Jackson in various swimsuits are very much like that. You're just sitting there, staring at the finely-sculpted specimen in front of you, wondering what you did to deserve such amazing photos, and then the sense of dread kicks in — this is too good to be true. Someone's gonna flash a photo of your weird uncle doing naked jumping jacks, right?
Nope. We can tell you with certainty that there is no hidden terror here. Levi Jackson is just that pretty, and you can feel free to stare at him all day in these swimsuit fashion shoot photos from DNA magazine.

Ashlee Simpson defends her big sister
Ashlee Simpson took to her blog to defend Jessica Simpson's honor which I assumed got mistaken for a Ho-Ho because I'm a terrible person:
I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.
All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard.
Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend?
I seriously doubt it.
How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?
Now can we focus on the things that really matter.
Yeah, I'm with you, Ashlee. How dare FOX News run a headline about your sister's weight? That's my job! Do I report the news solely from a blatant Republican viewpoint? Shit no. So let's try and maintain some boundaries, people. For journalism's sake.

Bedard roughed up in loss to Red Sox
Dominguez doubles twice, scores three runs
BOSTON -- Astros manager Bo Porter remains confident his team will start coming through in the clutch and he's unwavering in saying he's not ready to make any changes to a starting rotation that's struggled to pitch deep into games.
That was after the Astros scuffled at the plate Friday night at Fenway Park, going 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position and watching starting pitcher Erik Bedard need 91 pitches to work into the fourth inning of a one-sided 7-3 loss to the Red Sox.
"It's always tough when the starter does not go deep into the game and you go to your bullpen early and you're behind the eight ball and behind in the game as well," Porter said. "At some point, we're going to need these guys to start to go deeper into the game."
Only three times in the past 11 games has an Astros starter lasted at least five innings, with Bedard not pitching past the fourth inning in any of his four starts. After throwing 3 1/3 scoreless innings in relief on Opening Day, Bedard is 0-2 with a 10.32 ERA.
Houston's bullpen has worked more innings than any other relief staff in baseball.
"From our starters, it's just too many deep counts," Porter said. "When you get that many deep counts and the hitter is getting that many pitches to see, the more pitches the hitter sees, it's advantage hitter. We cannot continue to have these deep counts where we're three innings into the game and at 70-odd pitches."
The Red Sox bashed a season-high 17 hits, including four doubles, a triple and four solo home runs. Catcher David Ross hit a pair of tape-measure shots off Bedard that sailed over the Green Monster and clean out of Fenway Park. Will Middlebrooks also homered off Bedard, and David Ortiz tagged Paul Clemens for a homer that made it 6-2 in the fifth.
"I've never been 4-for-4, so I'm pretty excited about that," Ross said. "You know, it seems like this team has been somebody else every night. I'm excited to be a part of this team and a lot of these guys help each other out, a lot of these guys help me out. It's nice to be able to contribute."
With runners in scoring position, the Astros struck out nine times in their 12 at-bats and didn't get a hit.
"We continue to have chances, and I've said this -- you cannot continue to leave RBIs out there," Porter said. "We're going to have to start being more productive in those situations and I've said this to the players many times. When you look at guys that drive in runs, they drive in runs because they use the whole field and keep the ball in the big part of the field and that keeps you on the ball and it gives you the best chance to drive in runs in those situations."
Bedard endured a 33-pitch first inning, giving up an RBI double by Dustin Pedroia, and was sitting at 57 pitches through two innings and 79 through three. He entered the fourth on a short leash and was yanked after giving up back-to-back homers to Middlebrooks and Ross to start the inning.
"I felt good," Bedard said. "They did their job. They fouled a lot of pitches off and got my pitch count up and got some runs."
Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster (1-2) struck out 10 batters in six innings, allowing only four hits and two runs. Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez went 2-for-3 with two doubles and scored all three of Houston's runs. He came home on a Robbie Grossman grounder in the third inning, and Jose Altuve scored him on sac flies in the fifth and seventh innings.
"He's doing a great job," Porter said. "I think the guy's growing up right in front of our eyes. He's confident and believes he belongs here. I said this early on in the spring -- when the bat comes, you're looking at a Gold Glove third baseman, because this guy can defend with the best of them. He's now starting to take good at-bat after good at-bat."
Dominguez admits still trying to figure things out offensively.
"I think it's just going up there and having a plan against certain pitchers and most importantly getting a good pitch to hit, that's the biggest thing," he said. "I've been trying to be patient and get something good to hit."

Hi! I'm Georgia and I'm 35.
I want to get pregnant and I'm a little worried about the risks involved.
Can you tell me about your experience with women my age?
Thank you! And God bless you!
Hi! I'm Georgia and I'm 35.
I want to get pregnant and I'm a little worried about the risks involved.
Can you tell me about your experience with women my age?
Thank you! And God bless you!
I had my 3rd baby when I was 34 1/2. He was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect, but he had surgery and did incredibly well (he is 15 years old now and everything looks great!).
I had my 4th baby when I was 37 1/2, and she had a minor hemangioma on her back which you can hardly see now (she is 12 years old now).
I had my 5th baby when I was 1 month shy of my 41st birthday. She didn't have any birth defects at all, and she was my easiest birth of all.
I had home births with all of my babies. I hemorrhaged right after the delivery of my 4th baby, but I think that's because I had an inexperienced midwife's assistant who tugged on the cord before the placenta had completely detached from the uterus.
All in all, I wouldn't have changed anything. I loved my home births, and the most important thing was that I took my time in interviewing my midwives and made sure they were extremely skilled. Even at the age of 28, when I had my first baby, my baby's heart tones dropped at the end, and were not recovering fast enough between contractions. The skill of the midwife I had with that birth, saved me from having to be transferred to the hospital for a C-Section and my baby was born absolutely perfect.
I did not have any of the normal genetic testing that is recommended at age 35 and older. I figured that no matter what, I wouldn't abort the baby if there were a problem, so it wouldn't matter to me. Plus, the false positives (tests that come back positive indicating a problem, when there actually is NOT a problem) were very high with these tests.
These were my experiences.
Warm Regards,

Hey All,
Got a slight (or major, depending on how you like at it!) issue with the design of my database. My fault for not knowing what I'm doing with databases, although I have done quite a bit of reading on what I've got an issue with I can't seem to get my head around it, so here goes...
Table 1 = books
Table 2 = pages
The books table has a primary key of bookID, some fields like bookName, bookPrice and so on as well as a few foreign keys like AuthorID (which is the primary key in the table authors) and genreSubjectID (again, primary key in the genreSubject table). This all works fine and dandy. Dandy and fine.
A book has multiple pages that you can navigate through "Previous" and "Next", so there's pagination in there which comes in later on (another thread perhaps in the PHP subforum).
The pages table has a primary key of pageID, a text field called pageText which stores the text content for the page formatted with Markdown and a foreign key of bookID (which is the primary key in the books table).
Now, right now this works, but only for one page. After that it kind of messes up - Probably because I've not designed the database in the correct way for what I'd like it to be able to do!
I want to be able to have multiple pages from the pages table be associated with / belong to a particular book in the books table and then of course it's a case of making sure that works with the correct MySQL query in the PHP page.
So, my question is, where am I going wrong with the way I've designed this? How should I structure the books and pages tables so that the pages are associated with the correct books?
Many thanks for any help, pointers and especially solutions
Your design sounds right. Just to be sure I've got it right...
book: bookId (PK), bookName, bookPrice,.....pages: pageId (PK), bookId (FK to book), pageText
If that's how you have your tables, that would be right. If you're not getting the values you're expecting, it's probably one of two things:
Perhaps if you give us a SHOW TABLE for the two tables, a short data dump example, and the query you're trying to use? That way we can eliminate all the SQL/DBMS problems, and go from there...
Yea. Honestly I was pretty sure I had the database design right too, but because of the output on the web pages I thought maybe I had the DB design wrong...Maybe it is the PHP as you mention.
Here's the code I've got for the PHP template page that displays the contents of the pageText field from the database:
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/huffiertest.com/includes/dbconnection.inc.php';
if (isset($_GET['slug']))
$slug = $_GET['slug'];
header('Location: .');
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/huffiertest.com/includes/dbconnection.inc.php';
$sql = "SELECT pageID, pageText, bookTitle
FROM books, pages
WHERE pages.pageID = books.bookID
AND bookSlugName='$slug'";
$result = $pdo->query($sql);
catch (PDOException $e)
$error = 'Error fetching title name: ' . $e->getMessage();
include 'error.html.php';
while ($row = $result->fetch())
$title = $row['bookTitle'];
$content = $row['pageText'];
$page = $row['pageID'];
include 'read.html.php';
Here's what the first page of the Dracula title is supposed to display:
And this is what the first page of the A Christmas Carol title displays:
But that's actually supposed to be the 2nd page the Dracula title!
And here's a few of screenshots from MyPhpAdmin:
Any ideas? If I haven't given you what you asked for could you please give me more details? Any other information you need I'll be happy to provide. At this point I'm now convinced it's something to do with the JOIN I've wrong =/
It's this part: WHERE pages.pageID = books.bookIDit should be: WHERE pages.bookID = books.bookID
How newbie can a guy get...
Thanks Dave! This does fix the issue of the pages being muddled up and they now match the title associated with them in the DB tables
Except that for Dracula the content displayed for the page is the second page in the pages table, not the first page, but that will be a pagination issue no doubt so I'll look into that and likely end up back in the PHP forum!
Cheers! Problem solved!
That's because of this piece
while ($row = $result->fetch())
$title = $row['bookTitle'];
$content = $row['pageText'];
$page = $row['pageID'];
Since you're not specifying a page there, the query will return ALL pages for that book, then loop through the result set, overlaying the previous record.
Thanks for the pointer Dave - Managed to get the pagination working correctly myself!

It will be an uphill battle for Williamstown, but the Lady Demons will prepare for a chance at a third consecutive regional appearance, as they defeated Gallatin County in the first round of the 8th Region 32nd District tournament Oct. 11.
With the tournament just down the road at Grant County High School, Williamstown will not have to worry about a long bus ride to the tournament, however they do have a long road ahead if they want to go back to the regional tournament.
The Lady Braves accomplished their first goal in getting to the regional tournament.
The Lady Braves defeated Mason County 4-0 in the first round of the 23rd District Tournament Oct. 10 at St. Patrick's in Maysville.
For senior Kristin Keeton the opportunity to go back in her final season will be heartfelt. Her mother has been battling lymphoma and has only been to a couple of games.
Keeton would like to see the Lady Braves not only make it to regional, but come away as district champs.
The season hasn't been the easiest for the Braves Boy's soccer team this season.
Grant County lost 11 seniors and eight starters from last year's team and their coach.
This season now goes from playing with a 1-14 record, to facing Pendleton County, after they defeated Walton-Verona Oct. 10, 2-0, in the 12th Region District 23 tournament.
Over the past two weeks, Grant County Braves football has been outscored 137-32, a devastating number that coach David Arvin was upset with the performance.
Arvin addressed the team after their 63-6 loss to Scott Oct. 7. He said he told each and every one of them to look inside and ask themselves if they don't feel they can beat Conner not to come to practice this week.
"We have to have 11 guys on offense, defense and special teams that believe in that for us to move forward," Arvin said.
The Lady Braves will get ready to play in the 8th Region 32nd District Tournament on their home floor as they will have a second round match up with Owen County at 7 p.m. Oct. 12.
No travel time makes coach Kelli Lee happy because the girls will not have time to relax on a school bus while heading to another school.
The original plan was to have the boys and girl's soccer teams celebrate senior night on separate nights, but Mother Nature had other plans.
During the ceremony as the Braves were walking onto the field, a voice recording of themselves talking about their favorite moments rang through the speakers at the stadium, coordinated by Denise Schork of Vintage Clover Photography.
The Braves' 74-26 loss Sept. 30 does not tell the whole story, says coach David Arvin.
"The bright spot, the kids played and fought hard for four quarters," he said.
Arvin said at half time, he challenged the Braves to never give up and to play for pride.
"We might not be able to come away with a win, but people wouldn't be able to say the boys gave up that night," he said.

"I think it was pretty cool, but at the same it was sad, because it is going to be the last time I step on that field as a member of the Grant County boys soccer team," Brian Chapman said.
Grant County is being represented in the 2011 Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac/KHSAA Boys State Golf Tournament, by Williamstown senior Sean Moreland and Grant County senior Tim Livingood. The tournament was played Oct. 4-5 at the Bowling Green Country Club.
Moreland, who edged out Livingood by a stroke in the regional tournament in Maysville, Sept. 28, said he was impressed with his performance, especially after they way he started.
After winning the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference tournament for the second straight season, Grant County High School junior Sarah Kellam pushed that momentum to a four-stroke win at the 8th Region Golf Tournament at Twin Oaks in Covington Sept. 28.
Kellam said that at the beginning of the season she was worried about the team's youth, but with the team missing the cut by just eight strokes at the regional tournament, tthose worries only disappeared.

Hello Sitepoint Community. I have a bit of a dilemma that I would love for the community to give their advice on.
I would like to be a more active blogger but struggle on deciding whether all the things I blog about should be contained in one blog or should be separated into different blogs because my areas of interest are so varied. I worry that some of my content may not be interesting to my subscribers. The down side to separating though is increase in maintenance and splitting of my traffic and pagerank.
My primary goals with blogging are as follows:- increase my internet popularity (mostly, for purposes of getting more traffic)- pass that lovely traffic onto my primary content sites: --- paperdemon.com, an art and writing community site similar to deviantart.--- paperdemonmedia.com, a site where i post my animated works.- income (would be nice but not essential)
The following is a list of areas with blogging potential. Some I have already done some blogging in:
Doodler Blogcontent amount: mediumI work for google as a doodler: do a google search for "google triforce." I could post when I have a new doodle up somewhere in the world. Usually have one every two to three weeks somewhere. This seems more of coming from a "professional" angle than a personal angle which makes me think this maybe should be separate?
Video Game Musiccontent amount: very low, infrequentI used to be active in recording video game music (zelda, metroid, final fantasy). I don't have much to say/post on this topic, but its an area that I am well known in.http://ocremix.org/artist/4620/bogusred
Cosplay (Costumes)Content amount: highI usually make one costume per year and usually they are very involved, requiring multiple blog posts to explain the process.pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/bogusred/Halloween2008IkeLink#example blog posts: http://www.bogusred.net/blog/10/archive_2007-10
Zelda WeddingContent amount: med-highplanning of my zelda themed wedding (it will be epic). I'm pretty sure this should be separated from everything else. But this content will only last one to two years. Content will be how I create all the zelda themed props, decor, and my dress. Maybe should be combined with the cosplay blog?
Dementiacontent amount: highDo people really care about the stuff going on in my personal life? Probably not. But one thing that I'm going through right now is caring for my dad who has Dementia. Blogging about it could be therapeutic for me as well as provide guidance for anyone else going through something similar. I haven't blogged about it yet but I've kept a personal diary of everything that's happened since it started. But it seems this one is most likely to be separate from everything else.
Web Development and designcontent amount: medI used to be interested in this but there are so many bloggers that blog on this topic, is it worth it to get into it? It's an area of great interest for me as I do develop in PHP, jQuery/Javascript, MySQL, XML. PaperDemon.com is my biggest project which I could draw examples from. I could also discuss strategies on running the community.
Animationcontent amount: low-medCould have potential to go to high content amount if i blog about in progress stuff rather than "new episode posted" type content. Currently split into different sections of this site. I think they should at least all be combined into one update feed. SHould it also be combined with other topics above?main: http://paperdemonmedia.com/zarbon's masterpiece theater (no new episodes will be released as the show ended): http://zarbonsmt.paperdemonmedia.com/surviving together: http://survivingtogether.paperdemonmedia.com/
Farmvillecontent amount: highLast year I got into Farmville and started a strategy blog. I got myself out of the game in February but am thinking maybe this blog has potential. I get more comments on this than I do any of my other blogs. However it does not fulfill my primary goals, except it brings in a bit of income. This can waste a lot of my time though. the game is addicting. It is currently separate. http://harvestguide.net/main/
Also I wonder if some of these topics above should not be blogged about at all. I could end up spending more time blogging than creating my "primary content" (PaperDemon.com and PaperDemonMedia.com).I look forward to any insight the community can give me here. This problem is a major reason I haven't blogged too much. My current blog seems so disorganized and random.
Yeah, you have some blogs. Honestly, from my point of view i'm going for doing and dedicating to less websites and making them more professional. Ussually when you make more things in the same time you lose your focus, you divide it. When you concentrate on one thing you have much bigger chances to get more successful because all your brain puts its energy on one thing. But this doesn't mean that you have to put all the content of your blogs in one, because there are different thing and the most successful are the targeted ones.
That is quite a few different topics. Clearly you are going to want them divided in some way, but as Alexa stated, it's good to have some sort of focus. I have a tendency to have many projects going at once too, but have learned that it's far easier to succeed with a blog on a larger scale if you put most of your time into that one, instead of dividing you efforts for multiple small level successes.
On the note of the web development blog, this is something I've wondered about as well. It seems there are so many covering the subject that it's hard to be noticed. But dedication and hard work can lead to the achievement of anything you put your effort towards. It's all up to you really.
I kinda have done the "get a specialized blog for everything". Now I cannot focus on them anymore and they all "die". Fortunately i am still able to sell from there and now I'll be focusing ON ONE ONLY. This means I can post DAILY, I can promote one venture and not 10 and also will earn from one good blog more than from 10 not trafficked, almost inert ones.
I would go against the advice of what others have stated. The problem I can see with your enthusiasm would be that rather than focusing all of your energy into one high quality venture, you're breaking yourself into several lower-end solutions. While it's great that you have lots of interests, the problem is that you only have so many hours in the day. It's all well and good starting up a whole bunch of blogs that post irregularly but if you want to gain a decent audience, you want to be doing regular updates and focusing yourself rather than spreading yourself thinly. My advice would be to pick one that you feel you can give the most too, and then stick with that (at least until you are in a situation where you have others writing for you or until you can guarantee loads of time to start a fresh venture alongside).
Have you thought about selling some of your blogs that are lower on your interest list? If you have traffic that is or could be monetized, you could make some quick cash on Flippa.
Oh, and i would go for what i like more; find the passion and put it in the blog;).
its nice info, and i just say..wow yuu have many blog..and i think you must learn about your heart say:blush:
hello, I wrote a few tips here : http://blog-money-wiki.com/blog/2010/04/serious-tips-to-earn-fast-with-adsense-for-beginners-intermediates.phpthe main point is easy to understand, the more general your topic will be, the more people could be interested in it, and the more ctr you will get because the worst ctr comes from technical people.in case you need more information about this article, pleqase ask here or on the comment form of my blog, but it is pretty straith forward.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- About 50 demonstrators picketed outside a southwest Ohio post office to protest the proposed end to Saturday mail deliveries.
The postmaster general says ending Saturday mail deliveries would save $2 billion a year.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/ZlVWWR ) reports the rally Sunday outside Cincinnati's main U.S. Postal Service office was conducted mostly by letter carriers. It was part of a national effort organized by Delivering for America, a group dedicated to preserving six-day delivery.
The president of the Ohio State Association of Letter Carriers says more than 100 similar events were held around the country to send a message to Congress about the need for continuing Saturday delivery.
Representatives from local postal service union chapters say they don't think the reduction in service days would solve the postal system's core problems.

Outboards - Honda
|2002 Engine Preview
It's always been all four-stroke all the time for Honda. Now the company enters the big-horsepower market with the BF 225-hp VTEC engine. VTEC stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control, a system that utilizes two cam lobes on the intake valves for smooth, powerful operation throughout the rpm range. During low rpm, the low-lift or short-duration cam provides strong, smooth torque. As the engine accelerates to high-speed operation, the intake rocker arms shift to a high-lift, long-duration cam lobe to develop high horsepower. According to Honda, this results in an engine that displays an excellent balance of power, torque, rpm, and fuel economy throughout the operating range. Other features include 24 valves, dual-stage induction, a 60-amp alternator, and Honda's exclusive 4Front corrosion protection. A 200-hp version is also available but does not have the VTEC technology. (800) 426-7701. www.honda.com.

A9 TV; 25 December 2011
(In response to the question, "Why does one say 'insha'Allah' and not 'amen' after praying?")
"Amen", our Armenian brothers say that. Christians also say it. Muslims say 'insha'Allah.' But one can say 'amen,' of course. But Allah says 'insha'Allah' in the Qur'an. By Allah's leave; insha'Allah. That appears in Surat al-Kahf, insha'Allah.
You must take an interest in women's hearts and faith. But do not obsess about what they wear. Some people think they should cover up and others not. There are some teachers, I forget their names for the moment, who say there is no such expression in the Qur'an. Indeed, the word "Khumur," headscarf, does not appear. There is the word 'covering.' The Qur'an does not explicitly state, "cover your heads, women must cover their heads." That much is true. But there are also trustworthy hadiths. We look to the hadiths on this subject. We look to the hadiths as a commentary on the Qur'an. Those who say 'It is in the Qur'an' are not telling the truth. It is not in the Qur'an. That is why those who claim it is not in the Qur'an say, 'there is no headscarf.' I respect that. I respect them. Because the word "khumur" is also used for a table cloth or any kind of covering. A verse speaks of them covering their breasts. But the word 'headscarf' does not appear. Those who say it does know they are in the wrong. That is no true. Muslims must speak the truth. But when we look at the hadiths and Islamic history, we see there are commands regarding the headscarf, the word "khumur." That is how it is. As for what kind of headscarf, in my view it should be a full head covering. I do not think it refers to a normal headscarf there. You know they talk about the normal kind of headscarf that women wear. In my view, it is not that. I think it refers to a full covering. They say, 'But I think it refers to a headscarf,' and I respect that. They are also 100% Muslims. They are also on the true path. If they say 'there is no reference to the headscarf' in the Qur'an, then I respect that. But my own personal belief is in a full covering of the head. And they must respect me. We are all 100% Muslims, insha'Allah.
What matters is people's faith. Does it really matter if people wrap a meter of cloth around their heads? That does not show they are Muslims.
(In response to the question, "Will the reference in verse 104 of Surat al-Anbiya' – 'So we will regenerate it [heaven]' be as it is today?")
No, Allah speaks of, "a different creation" in one verse. For one thing, Allah says, "..today your sight is sharp." How will this life seem to us then? Like a dream. But it will be very sharp, you will be convinced that it happened, you will even be able to swear to it, but you will say, 'it was a dream.' But a really vivid dream. That is all. There, they are convinced that 'this is true life. But that is also a dream. In other words, it is just an image. All right, the original of matter does exist, but we see only an image of it. When people wake up they will be stunned. They will suddenly leap to their feet. They experience a brief period of bafflement. They fail to understand that they have died, since they lose their memories. They cannot remember the life of this world. Not at that moment. 'Who raised us?' they ask. When the voice starts calling to them they all start running toward one point. They imagine there is something there. The whole community runs off there. It is there they understand, 'Alas, this is the Day. This is what it meant. We have died and been restored to life,' they say. They finally understand. Otherwise they do not realize what has happened. Allah speaks of 'folding up heaven.' He does not say it is the same heaven. All the laws of physics and chemistry change entirely. There will be no blood in the body, but the body will be healthy. How? The heart will exist, but merely for decoration. It will not pump blood. There is no blood in the body. People live without blood. They eat and drink tons of food and water. But it has no effect on the body. That food stays in the body. They eat trillions of tons of food and drink trillions of tons of water; the drink of paradise. Our Prophet (pbuh) says in one hadith that all that results is a very slight sweaty odor, like musk or ambergris. That is how that food stays in the body. A lovely smell that delights one is given off from the body, he says, insha'Allah. Matter is converted into that form. Take the laws of physics. Allah converts matter into that form. "A slight sweat, a very mild sweating, but with the scent of musk or ambergris," he says. They will eat quadrillions of tons of food, and that is how it will be given off, insha'Allah.
If you attached as much importance to people's faith as you do to their external appearance, the matter would be resolved. One, you have to attach importance to people's faith, to the signs leading to faith. Two, you must teach people the miracles of the Qur'an. Three, you must teach people the commands of the Qur'an. You will see the Qur'an is full of love and represents a religion of peace and talks about moral virtue, art and science. You must see the importance of the signs leading to faith. In my view, external clothing is "jalabib", or "jilbab," which I believe means covering the head. People must respect that. That is what I believe. Someone else may say he thinks the world refers to a shirt or jacket. And I will respect that. "I understand it as referring to a long shirt," they say. I understand it to mean a long, black covering. And look, not white. I believe that "jilbap" means a black covering. That is my understanding. I believe that is very becoming on women. I think it will be very lovely. But the Qur'an does not refer to the "headscarf." That is true. There is no need to be dishonest about that. Some people say the word does appear. Where? There is not such term. "..draw their coverings across their breasts" it says. I have my understanding of "jilbap." A long covering. And a black one, in my view. We can see that from trustworthy hadiths. They say it appears in Surat an-Nur. No, it does not. Why do they not tell the truth? Faith is very important for a woman. It is important for her to fear Allah and be careful over what is lawful and unlawful. But I respect their interpretation, everyone's own interpretation. Respect for people who interpret the Qur'an in various ways is very important. I respect my Alawite brothers, and Shiites. I am a Sunni. Sunnis respect our Shiite brothers.
(About a letter written by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to the French king who had been taken prisoner in war and sought his help)
"I am the shadow of Allah, the Sultan of sultans, the Ruler of rulers, He Who gives the rulers their crowns," he says. I am Sultan Suleiman, son of Sultan Bayazid Khan, and sovereign lord and ruler of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and Rumeli and Anatolia and Azerbaijan and Damascus and Aleppo and Egypt and Mecca and Medina and Jerusalem and all the Arab world and Yemen and many other lands." Allah, Allah, Allah, may Allah have mercy on his seven forebearers. If only we could have been there and seen that blessed one! "And you are the King of France, of the province of France. You send a letter by your ambassador to my door where rulers seek shelter and tell me the enemy has invaded your country and that you are currently imprisoned and you ask for our help for your liberation." Allah, Allah, see what a hero he is? "Everything you say has come to feet of our throne that governs the world. I am aware of all things. There is nothing surprising about being defeated and imprisoned. You must be of good cheer and not grieve. Our forebears never held back from defeating their enemies and conquering other countries. We are on the path travelled by our forebears and are constantly capturing invincible lands and castles. I am in the saddle and wear my sword day and night. May Almighty Allah forgive and lead you to good. What He wishes will be done. You can hear other reports from the man you sent… Know this …" "I will do what is necessary," he says. That is how a brave man should be, masha'Allah. Suleiman the Magnificent was a glorious person. Look at the majesty in his language, masha'Allah.
Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent wrote a wonderful letter. Truly befitting a hero. Look, the other man asks him to save him, and he says, "We have done such things many times before." What glorious language, masha'Allah.
"I am the shadow of Allah, the Sultan of sultans, the Ruler of rulers, He Who gives the rulers their crowns," he says. In other words, Allah created me as a shadow, he says. He names the Mediterranean and Rumeli. Look at what a boundless empire that was, masha'Allah. "…Yemen and many other lands…" In other words, other lands he has not listed here. "I am Sultan Suleiman, son of Sultan Bayazid Khan, and sovereign lord and ruler… of many lands." And you are king of France, of the province of France." The man has collapsed psychologically. He says that rulers seek shelter at his gate. "You send a letter by your ambassador to my door where rulers seek shelter and tell me the enemy has invaded your country and that you are currently imprisoned and you ask for our help for your liberation." "Everything you say has come to feet of our throne that governs the world. I am aware of all things." Look, "There is nothing surprising about being defeated and imprisoned." "Be of good cheer and do not grieve. Our forebears never held back from defeating their enemies and conquering other countries." We have done many such things, he says. Rescuing you will be no great difficulty for us, he says. "We are on the path travelled by our forebears," he says. The Ottoman Empire was around 24 million km2 in the time of Suleiman the Magnificent. It was endless, masha'Allah.2012-02-20 12:28:38

It isn't overly surprising to hear that a county party chairperson in Texas called gays "termites" and likened the Stonewall Democrats to Nazis. But it is a little surprising that it came from a county chairperson in the Democratic Party. Dan Ramos, the embattled chairman of the Bexar County Democratic Party, made the statements Friday in an interview with the San Antonio Current:
While the LGBT community has long found support within the national Democratic Party in its search for equal rights for gay, lesbian, and transgendered individuals, Ramos called the gay-rights movement a "very sinister movement" that is out of touch with San Antonio's values.
In an interview with the Current today, Ramos blamed homosexuals in the party for both undermining his authority and for the poor election results in Bexar County in 2010. "They are all connected to the gay Democratic Party, the so-called Stonewall Democrats. Just like termites they managed to get some of their people in key positions," he said.
The party faithful has been largely divided over Ramos since he was elected to office in May, 2010, but his chief detractors are all homosexuals, Ramos said.
Ramos said he opposes homosexuality on religious grounds and doesn't believe gay-friendly Democrats like Stonewall reflect the values of Bexar County voters. "I liken them to the Tea Party — the Tea Party and the fucking Nazi Party — because they're 90 percent white, blue-eyed, and Anglo, and I don't give a fuck who knows that. Just like the blacks … they're American, but you can't get your way just because you're black."
The LGBT news website QSanAntonio reports that Eduardo Juarez, co-chair of the Stonewall Democrats of San Antonio, issued a statement today to the group's Board of Directors in response to Ramos' remarks.
"Mr. Ramos' alleged comments blaming and condemning LGBT Democrats are so plainly ludicrous and divisive, they do not even merit a response," Juarez said. "We Democrats are too busy right now working on real and important tasks at hand, including the task of uniting our party."
QSanAntonio also reports that Ramos' statements are especially surprising given that he sought the Stonewall Democrats' endorsement in January 2010 when he ran for the position (photo above).
The Bexar County Democratic Party has been rocked by scandal in recent years, with its former treasurer awaiting trial on charges that he embezzled $200,000. The party was unable to fund a campaign in 2010, and Ramos reportedly has been a divisive figure ever since he took over as chair. State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, has filed legislation that would allow state parties in Texas to remove county chairs for "incompetency or official misconduct." The bill reportedly is aimed at getting rid of Ramos.
UPDATE: Boyd Richie, chair of the Texas Democraticy Party, issued the following statement calling for Ramos' resignation late Saturday.
"From virtually the first day he took office, Dan Ramos has kept the Bexar County Democratic Party in a constant state of turmoil. He has consistently refused to follow the Bexar County Democratic Party Rules and the Texas Democratic Party Rules, failed to call or attend meetings required by the local Rules, failed to recognize properly established local committees and officers, refused to elect Precinct Chairs in the manner required by the Rules and the Texas Election Code, and failed to assist Democratic candidates seeking office.
"I will not dignify Mr. Ramos' most recent outburst by restating it, but I will make it clear that the bigoted attitudes he expressed are totally contrary to the Beliefs and Declarations of the Texas Democratic Party. I am shocked and outraged that an individual who claims to be an officer of the Democratic Party would hold such positions and I'm appalled that he would make such absurd statements.
"For many months, Democratic Party officials and activists have petitioned the State Party to intercede in the Bexar County situation. Until recently I resisted those requests because I believed that the best remedy would be one crafted and agreed to by Democrats inside Bexar County. Just yesterday I sent a letter to Mr. Ramos and other concerned individuals inviting them to a sit-down to discuss the problem. I no longer believe that such a meeting would be useful or have any purpose. What is necessary is for Dan Ramos to immediately resign and allow the Bexar County Democratic Party to move forward with new, more unifying leadership."
Also, Daniel Graney, president of the Texas Stonewall Democratic Caucus, sent over an open letter to Ramos that we've posted after the jump.

Bizarre night topped by Jim Dolan, all smiles and giggles, popping into John Tortorella's press conference. I think what happened is that Dolan was in Tortorella's office and the coach asked him if he wanted to do the press conference instead of Torts. And Dolan took the dare and went down the hall and into the room with him, and when he saw the shock of the reporters he decided to go with it for a while.
But it was pretty stunning. What he had to say, not so much. Just the fact that he came out from behind the curtain, and with some personality, was enough. And the best part was when he mentioned the Stanley Cup and Tortorella said, "Easy."
1) The game might not have been exciting, but it was pretty thorough, pretty hard-fought, and again very impressive for the Rangers to bounce back from two disappointing games in the past week with nearly identical 3-0 shutout wins the next time out (though the win in T.O. was nearly perfect, and this wasn't).
2) I said this leading up to the game, and others did too, about how similar the two teams are. Nashville's record wasn't far off the Rangers' mark; the Preds had won five in a row and eight of nine; they play the same style of hockey — aggressive forecheck, battle for every inch and every loose puck, rely on superb goaltending, and with very good coaches (who know each other very well, we found out later). Trotz and Torts. Hmmm. Wonder which one's taller. But seriously, that's what makes it an especially good win. And it could have been, with the Penguins and the Bruins up next, the aversion of the season's first crisis.
3) And I swear I had my hand raised at the presser and was just about to ask about the textbook final 10 minutes of the third period, with the lead, and how the Rangers ran the ball and ran out the clock, when John Tortorella mentioned it. Wow. It was shutdown by possession.
4) The Rangers sure got some ugly goals, especially Dan Girardi's hideous game-winning bumper-pool shot that also earned him the Broadway Sombrero. I couldn't help but think that Girardi has probably deserved that nasty fedora many times, but that it took a goal like that to get it for him.
5) Here's the link to my column in The Journal News and LoHud.com today. I did an analysis of the two losses because my deadline was looming with the 7:38 start time. And in it I wrote about how I thought the losses of Brandon Dubinsky and Ruslan Fedotenko kind of pointed to a potential weakness — depth up front. Because with Erik Christensen and Sean Avery in Hartford, the Little Italian Kid from Norway also there and having been injured twice, and with Wojtek Wolski and Kris Newbury being -3 in 6:20 of ice time in Montreal, there's not much behind the top 12. At least until Chris Kreider arrives, or they make a trade that upgrades the skill, helps the power play and gives them more forward depth.
6) The Rangers goalies just roll out these shutouts, don't they. As well as the Rangers defend these first 44 games, every night the goalies have to still make enormous saves, and Henrik Lundqvist was stellar throughout this one. And Nashville comes at you, and the Rangers let them come at them for a while; plus the Preds have some guys who can flat out fire it.
7) How about that call on Marian Gaborik? I didn't see it until much later. One of the Predators cut his own teammate with a stick, and the four officials all missed it and called Gaborik for a double minor, which the Rangers killed. The call also eliminated what was a Rangers power play, so there was a plus side to it. I thought Gaborik was strong and looked really good with Carl Hagelin's burners on the other side of Derek Stepan.
8) I may have mentioned this last week, but now when Hagelin is rocket-boosting after the puck, the Garden crowd kind of starts to roar in anticipation of his after-burners. The Garden fans also have, lately, come to appreciate the blocked shot more, and they seem to see it coming and start buzzing, and then applaud when one of their guys takes one for the team. Pretty cool.
9) My favorite Hagelin moment was when he got involved with a bunch of Preds behind the net. Haggar the Horrible.
10) How about Michael Del Zotto and Anton Stralman leading the rush during a 4-on-4?
11) Brian Boyle=Monster. (you guys know who that was for, right?). It got pretty stupid around here yesterday and into the night and early morning hours.
12) My tour of MSG's concessions continued. Had a food court burger. Pretty good. On a sort of English muffin thing. $8.95. Will do it again.
13) This three stars thing is getting tougher. Maybe I should just make Ryan Callahan and Lundqvist permanent stars, and then name "My Three Other Rangers Stars" because the Captain was darned good again … and got rewarded with the gift goal at the end, the one he would have (and some argue should have) gotten at the Winter Classic.
14) Happy 51st, Captain Messier!
My Three Rangers Stars:
1) Henrik Lundqvist.
2) Carl Hagelin.
3) Dan Girardi.

MOTHRA .:Apr 22 09:.
The other day, coming home from work, I noticed a ginormous moth chillin near my front door:
Dude, this crazy insect was MASSIVE, like almost bigger than a business card!!!
This reminded me of another wild sighting in my patio. At first I thought it was a leaf, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was a....
This freakin' widow on 'roids carried Dr. Curt Connors at least 12 feet up from the ground to the patio roof!
here's some more wildlife near my pad:
PHX Diggs .:Apr 21 09:.
So on my trip to Phoenix I had a few hours to spare to check out some
records shop. Apparently this past Saturday was Vinyl Record Day.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to dig on Saturday but was able to get out
for a few on Sunday. On Saturday I did find a record shop but
unfortunately it closed down:
On Sunday, I checked out this other spot which was also closed. I peaked inside and it appeared to be a spot that had a lot of electronic, house, drum and bass. They had shirts for sale and other things as far as I could tell.
After leaving this spot I cruised over to a spot called Zia Records on University in Tempe right next to ASU. It kind of reminded me of a smaller version of Rasputin's. They sold vinyl, dvds, cd and other music related items. Cool spot but the record section wasn't so big. Apparently they have 6-7 locations in the Phoenix area and they all carry vinyl. I left a bunch of homegrown blend stickers in the flyer section and picked up a couple of jazz records.
I only had time to check out one more spot before catching my flight back to San Diego. I was planning on going to this spot called Revolver Records, but as I was cruising down University I spotted this other record shop and decided to stop:
This place probably had a lot of records all over the place. In fact they had records overflowing outside:
The store had a really big jazz and blues collection. The hip hop section was ok and mainly the records were all used. There was punk and rock stuff and a whole lot more. I could have dug at this spot for a good part of the day but I was pretty tired and was running out of time. I picked up a couple of hip hop records and some Irish Celtic record.
I also left a stack of HGB stickers on the counter at this store. They sold old turntables and this place definitely reminded me of a record collector spot. Some of the guys in the crew are all elitist about their dig spots and have even gone as far as referring to their spots as "Secret Spot". Personally, recording digging is become more and more of a lost art in dj'ing I am happy to share any information I have about where to pickup vinyl. More and more people are playing serato "discs" and don't even have real records anymore. Support your local record shops.

90 Degrees On a Sunday .:Apr 21 09:.
Nam (FlavorInnovator),
myself, Romali, and Jen BBQ'd some dogs, nd a nice tri-tip to celebrate
the hottest day of the year so far. We started getting restless, so we
ended up carving spears out of branches, while taking shots of vodka,
and ended the night cooling off at the pool with a bunch of
Samoans...another day in the burbs. Good times.
Sammie destoying things as usual.
Spear Chuckin' Gang
Ended up taking pics at the building across the street...for what reason? I don't know....other than us being faded off our asses. Yes...I am holding Romali's foot...no homo. Next time we're making slingshots.

"These are perfect, our photo was perfect on the cards! Great quality. Would be nice for the cards to be a little thicker, but I would buy them again if I needed to! Don't forget, using postcards means postcard stamps,which will also save you money since they are only 35 cents each vs the 49 cents for traditional letter stamps!"
"When I started to design the postcard, I was unsure & nervous how the finish product will turn out. One thing is the digital draft & another is physically having the example of it. When I finally confirmed the final finish, I started second guessing myself. Thinking it wouldn't look nice once it's printed. Thought about possibilities of just cancelling the order. Well shipping was a couple days early which was great. Once I received it & opened it I was very impressed & happy with the finished product. Turned out way better than the digital draft. So far, everyone who has received the save dates, have been giving me only but positive feedback on the design. Even the paper feels like a postcard. My fiancé & I are very pleased. It exceeded our expectations. I will definitely recommend to all my friends about this website. It's worth money, considering that it's more affordable than most websites."
"I used WPD to make a Save the Date card for my upcoming wedding and it was such a seamless process! I had a few changes to the design which they more than happily fixed, and their customer service was fantastic. Literally in 3-4 days I had designed the card, approved a proof, and received my shipment (with express delivery)."
"We love our save-the-dates! The quality is really good with shinier printing on the front and regular printing on the back to account for the photo versus text. The picture does print a little more "faded" than I thought it would, but for the picture we chose this worked well but keep it in mind for choosing what colors to use. Friends who received this commented on how cute and elegant it was!"
"I was very satisfied with the product I received. The colors were very vibrant and looked just like the photograph. I was able to read everything clearly over the photo and on the back of the card. Would def. recommend using wedding paper divas!!"

Aliens, Unicorns and James Van Der Beek: The Oddest Videos Of 2011 So Far
2011 so far has been filled with a number of great releases from the pop powerhouses of today. Gaga, Kesha and Katy Perry, all hot in my book, have released great tracks that you can hear on-air or online here on 106.1 KISS-FM. All compliments aside, I just have a question for them, what were you thinking with your latest videos?

I'm done. I'm done with this bitterly cold weather, and let me be honest, I love winter. I love the snow and the crisp air that comes with the season, but I did not sign up to live in the Arctic Circle.
Living in the Midwest my whole life, I'm used to the snow and cold. I'm use to the wind chills and the blowing snow, but it seems Mother Nature has decided to ratchet it all up a notch.
Like most native Midwesterners, I've driven in my fair share of questionable weather — dense fog, sleet, snow, rain — you name it, and I've probably had an experience in it. But never before have I driven in a blizzard. I'm not that insane. I like my life; it's a great life.
The mister and I spent Jan. 26 in the Quad Cities. It's nothing new for us to do. And we've travelled in lots of different weather to return home. I'm sure many of you saw the videos of the road conditions, heard about the blizzard conditions and the whiteouts. But let me tell you; it was terrifying out there. In the Quad Cities the wind wasn't terrible; we could see the road, even if we couldn't see the lines. But as we worked our way to the highway via the backroads, our visibility became scarce. Once on the highway, it was almost zero. At least we could see the vehicle in front of us. But the drive wasn't worth our lives, and we turned around. We stayed the night there.
On our drive home early Jan. 27, it didn't take us long to see we had made the right choice to stay off the roads Jan. 26. We saw a lot of cars in ditches, completely turned around. We saw a couple of semis stuck on the side of the road. We saw a handful of tow trucks and snowplows working to get the roads back into working order. And I was ever so thankful for their hard work.
During the past couple of weeks, it seems like winter has decided to slap us in the face, reminding us we still have a ways to go until we will feel the warmth of the sun. Maybe this is just me, but does anyone else feel like every January we are shocked by how terrible the weather is?
Unfortunately, our small ray of hope did not come through on Feb. 2. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, and now we will have six more weeks of winter. But honestly if you look at his track record, he's seen his shadow more than 100 times and hasn't seen his shadow less than 20.
So I would like to take this time and apologize to summer. I may complain about the intense heat and humidity ... a lot. As I sit here looking at a temperature below zero, I offer my deepest sympathies to summer and hope it begins to return soon. Please, summer, I miss the sun. I guess until then I'll just throw on another hat and scarf and trudge on.
Stay strong and stay warm, readers. This cold can't last forever.

Prospective Students | Current Students | Alumni | Faculty + Staff
Undergraduate to Present Innovative Research at International Conference in China
A senior biology student will represent the IUPUI School of Science this month at the International Neural Regeneration Symposium in China.
"This is an amazing opportunity I've been given," said Jennifer Romine. "To have the ability to do this type of research at IUPUI is incredible, and I'm excited to talk on a topic people don't know a lot about."
Her presentation is titled "Revitalizing Neural Stem Cells in the Aging Brain." Romine and Dr. Jinhui Chen, her mentor and an assistant professor at the IU School of Medicine, have been studying the maturation process of neurons and the ability to stimulate neuron growth by increasing the number of neural stem cells in the brain. Their research has revealed certain drugs can stimulate neuron activity, which can be useful in treating patients with traumatic brain injuries or those who lose cognitive function through the aging process.
To prepare to present her findings to an international audience, Romine has been studying intensely while also balancing her other coursework and the application process to the IU School of Medicine. She plans to pursue a career in neuroscience and has a special interest in the study and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
The second annual International Neural Regeneration Symposium is intended to provide a platform for scientists and clinicians to promote research in the growing field of neural regeneration. Chen and several other IU researchers have been invited to give presentations at the symposium.
The trip will be Romine's second IUPUI-sponsored trip to China. Two years ago, she joined a group traveling with the School of Social Work at IUPUI; she has a minor in medical humanities and health studies, which includes social work courses.
"IUPUI has allowed me take advantage of all the opportunities to meet my RISE goals," Romine said, referring to IUPUI's mission to provide Research, International study, Service and Experiential learning for all undergraduates.
The Roncalli High School graduate said it has taken years of hard work to get the confidence and knowledge it takes to present her research at this level. Starting with the School of Science's Biology Freshman Work Program, Romine earned her way into the Life Health Sciences Internship program, research at the Stark Neuroscience Institute and presentations before the local chapter of the Indiana Society of Neuroscience.
"Originally I came to IUPUI and didn't really want to do research. What's ironic now is I'm completely embedded in it," she said.
Romine is a Fugate Scholar, under the umbrella of the Sam H. Jones Community Service Scholarship Program, president of Timmy Global Health at IUPUI, ambassador for the Center for Research and Learning, pre-professional coordinator for the IUPUI Biology Club, member of the Student Development Funding Committee, and IUPUI Honors College peer mentor.
The School of Science is committed to excellence in teaching, research, and service in the biological, physical, behavioral and mathematical sciences. The School is dedicated to being a leading resource for interdisciplinary research and science education in support of Indiana's effort to expand and diversify its economy.
