An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England in the wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Ringwold family lived at Ringwood, in Hampshire. Since in Old English the word hring meant both circle and boundary, it is thought that the name of this place indicated was a reference to the edge of a forest.
Ringwold Early Origins
Hampshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Ringwood. At the time of the taking of the Domesday Book in the year 1086, a survey of England initiated by Duke William of Normandy after his Conquest of England at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D., Ringwood was held as King's land and the holder is not named. As was the Norman custom the second son of the Norman holder of the land assumed the name of the Manor and village. In 1086, the village held two mills.
Ringwold Spelling Variations
Ringwold Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence in the eras before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate regularly changed the spellings of their names as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Ringwold have been found, including Ringwood, Ringewood, Ringwode and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. For such families, the shores of Ireland, Australia, and the New World beckoned. They left their homeland at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. Many arrived after the long voyage sick, starving, and without a penny. But even those were greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. Numerous English settlers who arrived in the United States and Canada at this time went on to make important contributions to the developing cultures of those countries. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Ringwold were among those contributors: Robert Ringwood who landed in North America in 1753.

This note is prompted by a number of observations.

 - After nearly twelve years of serious work on computer security, all that can be shown is two one-shot ?brassboard? systems and one commercially supported product that integrates the DoD security policy into the operating system.

 - The first round of research results on computer security were useful and by 1975 the principles of secure computers were well enough understood that the first demonstration models of security kernels had been completed. [SCHI 73]

 - In spite of hopes to the contrary, it has been amply demonstrated that the civil sector of government and virtually all of the private sector can satisfy their information protection needs with simple physical and procedural lethods, coupled with using systems with "improved integrity".

 - In spite of the tiresomeness of its repetition, the fact is that the need for secure systems for important national defense applications has not been diminished in the slightest by any work that has gone on over the past twelve years.

Congress party : Bad time starts after 27th august alrady predicted in "Dainik jagran"
Congress party seems in stress on the Anderson issue.Arjun singh is being targeted by the congress men.i think Arjun has nothing to loose.if any one may be looser in any case that is Congress party itself and Sonia family because one name which is been taken is of former prime minister Rajiv gandhi.Arjun singh is old diplomat.he may twist the issue.but what for the grand oldest party of India.
Many analyst think that this problem may cause much trouble for the Congress party but i don,t think so as the planets indicate.this is very shortest problem compared tho those problems which Congress party of India is going to face.
-After 27th august Congress will face greater problems. (already predicted in Dainik jagran in December last on the new year,s eve)
-since mid of the July the problems will start to take shape and pave the way for the greater problems which seems after 27th august.
Arjun singh -
I don,t see the chart of Arjun because he is already in bad phase of Saturn.what i see for him is a health problem and fatal time.when this time will come i can not predict because i don,t want to give time on his chart due to lack of time.
The year 2011 will be very bad for the Congess party.there will be feuds and war like BJP.

We've come a long way in the evolution of women in comic book film and television. Thanks to the comic book renaissance we are currently enjoying, things have been getting better on all fronts every year. Long gone are the days of only love interests and mothers, defined largely by their nurturing archetypes, or their unfortunate tendency to get into trouble so the hero can swoop in and save the day. By and large, the Lana Langs and the MJ Watsons have been left in the past, replaced by the Black Widows, the White Canaries, and the Peggy Carters of the world.
Still, it's not a perfect science. On all fronts, there's still plenty of room for improvement. Let's take a look at each of the four major universes (#DCEU, Arrowverse, X-Men, and #MCU) to rank how they're doing with their female characters.
DC Extended Universe
This is going to be the trickiest one to rank largely because it's the one with the fewest amount of existing properties. Still in its nascent stages, it's hard to fully consider DCEU — what it is and what it could be — until it gets a few more movies under its belt. A task made all the more difficult by the middling-to-poor responses all three films in existence have received from fans and critics alike.
Even still, with this burgeoning universe, there are a few bright spots. While Lois Lane hasn't done much to challenge archetype, #WonderWoman is a breath of fresh air, and was easily one of the highlights of #BatmanVSuperman, leading us all to wonder why the film didn't spend more time on her, and less time on the contest between its two title characters.
What's more, the first trailer released for her solo film is enormously promising. #GalGadot has already proven a solid pick for the role. DC is even beating Marvel to the punch here — releasing the first female-led film in the genre in over a decade.
In a similar vein, #SuicideSquad survived in large part due to the pitch-perfect casting of Margot Robbie as #HarleyQuinn and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. Both have proven to be wonderful assets in this universe, and there's already promise for further appearances from each of them down the line.
Score: C
X-Men Filmverse
The longest running of these singular franchises, it's kind of both surprising and disappointing that it still doesn't rank all too well on this front. While there have been some excellent films produced from our beloved #XMen (including X2, First Class, and Days of Future Past) and while they've consistently done well by the likes of #Wolverine, Xavier, and Magneto (among others) there's still ongoing trouble with the women of the X-Men universe. A dispiriting thought considering the myriad of characters at their disposal, and the sheer amount of diversity they provide.
Jean and Storm have been two of the biggest names from the start (as they should be) but both were underwritten and fell flat in the original trilogy and #XMenApocalypse. Poor casting has really worked against them in both timelines. Rogue was a prominent character in the initial X-Men film, but as a shadow of her true self: stripped of her most iconic powerset, and pretty much all of her personality, she was whittled down to a demure teenager that bore little resemblance to her comics counterpart.
A few others (like Kitty and Jubilee) have appeared here or there, but never strong enough to resonate as they could (or should), and appearances from the likes of Tempest/Angel, Emma Frost, and Psylocke have proven all but forgettable.
The one female character of most prominence has been Mystique — right-hand to Magneto in the original trilogy, and then centered at the heart of the Xavier-Magneto trilogy. However, she never really came into her own as a villain. Likely due to #JenniferLawrence's rising fame, Apocalypse explicitly situated her as a hero, and a new leader within the X-Men, meaning they've essentially stripped her of just about everything that makes her the fascinating villain that she is in the comics.
One bright light? Perhaps #Logan's introduction of X-23 will finally provide a proper standout we've all been waiting for.
Score: C
This is probably the one universe that offers the most extremes in this discussion. While it has had some truly amazing female characters, it also has some depressingly terrible ones as well.
#Arrow started the universe off strong, giving us characters like Moira and Thea. The former actually flipped the archetypal superhero mother on its head and then proceeded to trod all over the entire concept, to spectacular results. Introduction of Sara in second season increased the load — even as the show continued to invest in these mother-daughter and sister-sister relationships. The trend extended well into its supporting cast, offering up solid characters like Nyssa, Lyla, and Amanda Waller among others. On Arrow, women get to be superheroes; they frequently have female relationships, and the best are given storylines that very much serve the purpose of the character (instead of being defined by male characters). This is to say at its best, Arrow has contributed enormously to the cause.
The growth of Sara has, in turn, proved to be one of the best elements for #LegendsOfTomorrow. As one of the most dynamic and fully realized characters on the show, she's consistently entertaining and complex, and a valuable asset to #Arrowverse as a whole. Unfortunately, the show has also struggled to acquire and keep any decent female character not named Sara Lance.
#Supergirl, for obvious reasons, has made a lot of positive contributions. It pounds its feminist themes home a little too hard more often than not, but there's a real sincerity to what it's accomplished in Cat Grant's mother-figure relationship to Kara, Kara's sisterly relationship to Alex, and fully embracing the female empowerment of having a women superhero leading the charge. It's not perfect, but it's still doing very, very well.
Unfortunately, #TheFlash near threatens to undermine all of these, so terrible is it with its women. Caitlin Snow and poor Iris West are so backwards as to almost be regressive — bringing to mind the horrendous dark days of Lana Lang on Smallville. Caitlin — in spite of being an accomplished and intelligent scientist — is almost always given storylines pertaining to whatever guy she's flirting with, getting into a relationship with, or mourning the death of. Iris has it even worse: little-to-no-agency, defined by male characters around her (who refuse to respect her right to agency); when the writers don't know what to do with her, they give her another romance plot line.
It's probably not a coincidence that Kendra/Hawkgirl — who was similarly bogged down with tedious romantic subplots — originated on The Flash.
Score: B
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Marvel really benefits from the fact that it has the most content here — and with it, the most possibility for variation and progress. While it wasn't exactly exciting when starting out (Pepper Potts, Jane Foster, a "Strong Female Character" rendition of Peggy Carter, and Betty Ross) they still (by and large) edged just enough away from the Lana Lang type so as to be an improvement. Potts and Foster have even gone on to be defined by their own career accomplishments, while Carter's TV series allowed her to flourish into one of the best characters in the MCU.
Though we're still years away from #CaptainMarvel, characters like Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Gamora have proven how far we've come — the placement and prominence of female superheroes that's already growing.
The TV verse has done even better in this regard. #AgentsOfSHIELD boasts three (four if you count Mockingbird) fantastically well-realized female characters, and a host of relationships between them to drive the show. #AgentCarter, as stated, offered wonderful new life for Steve Rogers's one-time love interest. And #JessicaJones tackled female issues and the female perspective like no one else, offering up as well some fantastically rich female characters in Jessica, Trish, and Jeri.
This progress has yet to fully leak over into the film world, but Marvel has come so far that even the weakest in the game are still pretty positive (Karen Page is really the lone woman of Daredevil, but she also has definition and agency that surpasses many others on the show; Hope van Dyne was the sole woman in Ant-Man, but is already promised to become Wasp; Gamora was the only woman on the team, but Nebula looks to be joining for the next Guardians of the Galaxy).
The big question now is how Rachel MacAdams and Tilda Swinton will fare in #DoctorStrange. Based on Marvel's history, I'd be surprised if both don't at least hit "pretty good." Of course, meeting #BrieLarson's Captain Marvel will no doubt be a high point of #InfinityWar.
Score: B+
Overall Ratings:
- X-Men — C
- Arrowverse — B

Timelaw I'm glad you are up and running. Britton 30 is correct a power supply shouldn't have anything to do with drivers. My constant concern with the power supply was to try and help you not have a power supply cause the problem you had before with the old power supply do damage to your computer. I take it you have moved and have a good internet connection now.
One small suggestion. Try using your computer at default (no over clocking)for a few days and make sure everything works as it should before over clocking it.
Now I used a software to declock (under the default) my GPU and it works. I'm not overclocking my GPU to see if it's a voltage thing.
My friend told me to do this to see if the GPU has some kind of automatic power saving that isn't fast enough to update when it starts working faster. And so far his theory is correct. I'm currently not experiencing anything and I'm now overclocking to see if my GPU will crash as a result. In the default settings everything was automatic. Fans, Hertz and stuff, and he said that could be the issue.

Why did O2 broadband shut down?
O2 home broadband is no more: despite many years as one of the UK's top budget providers, Telefonica sold the service to Sky broadband in 2013.
Click here to visit our Sky broadband review, find today's cheapest deals here or read on to find out more about why O2 got rid of their broadband business and what they offered when it was still up and running.
Why did O2 fold?
As we'll see below in this article, which, until it was updated, was a provider review, O2 were a fairly popular budget broadband provider right up to the sale of their business in early 2013.
Discounts for O2 mobile customers made them attractive and they also had a reputation for good customer service.
Even so, however, by 2011 customer numbers were stagnating and the business was struggling to stay profitable.
The provider seemed unwilling to move towards offering fibre broadband or refreshing their product range, perhaps acknowledging that the provider had lost its unique selling points.
Over customer objections, the broadband business was sold in 2013 and O2 customers were migrated to equivalent broadband deals at Sky by early 2014.
Broadband for O2 customers
Ever since Telefonica launched O2 broadband in 2007, they had their eyes fixed squarely on winning over one group: O2 mobile phone customers.
Whichever O2 broadband deal they take, mobile customers' monthly cost was slashed by £5 and they didn't pay a £25.53 connection fee either.
In addition, the All Rounder and The Works packages,offered a half price for the first 6 months discount, and are half price for 12 months for customers who have had their O2 mobile for over 2 years.
To qualify customers had to either have a pay monthly tariff or top up an O2 pay as you go SIM by £10 every 3 months.
In other words even those that only made the minimum PAYG top up of £40 over a year will save £85.53 in setup fees and monthly costs (£60 after the first year).
O2 broadband
O2 had three main broadband deals: the Basics the All Rounder and The Works.
These offers were available at the vast majority of unbundled (LLU) exchanges, about 80% of households.
O2 offered speeds of up to 16Mb and come closer than any other ADSL provider to delivering.
According to Ofcom's last piece of research into the subject (May 2012), average O2 broadband speeds looked something like this:
|Overall average
|Peak (8-10pm weekdays)
|O2/Be 24Mb
|9.1Mb to 10.9Mb
|8.9Mb to 10.7Mb
That's the UK's fastest ADSL broadband, including during peak times.
O2 managed it because in 2006 they bought the Be broadband network to run their service on: Be were busy adding extra equipment to exchanges to offer faster and more reliable connections than competitors, a broadband backbone O2 benefited from.
See our guide here for more on the differences between O2 and Be broadband.
It's also worth noting, however, that these speeds were fast for ADSL. As we note in more detail elsewhere O2 lost their speed advantage by not offering fibre.
Download allowances
As you can see in the table above, where the O2 broadband deals agreed on speeds they diverged when it came to download allowances.
O2 Basics had a 20GB allowance: enough for general web browsing and the occasional TV show on iPlayer but no more (see our usage guide for more detail on allowances).
The two premium broadband deals - All Rounder and The Works - had completely unlimited usage.
O2 switched back to completely unlimited after a phase of experimenting with so called 'soft limits' of 100GB and 250GB apiece.
O2's fair use policy continued to leave room for restricting service if they, "feel that your activities are so excessive that other customers are detrimentally affected". They also restricted P2P services at peak times.
However, O2's reputation was for common sense policies, not punitive ones and reports of falling afoul of fair use were uncommon.
O2 Access
Like many operators who shine in LLU (unbundled) exchanges, O2 fell down slightly with this BT-resold product available in a minority of exchanges.
Like other non-LLU broadband deals it's more expensive than standard broadband but its also got a poor reputation partly because O2 introduced a very restrictive fair use policy on the deal before cutting back to a 20GB limit altogether.
Generally, as we've mentioned above, O2 fair use policies are very fair. However, with Access peer to peer and newsgroups services were capped at 50kbps during peak times and, in general, heavy users reported problems.
Home phone
Launched in late spring of 2010, O2 now also offer the option of home phone deals bundled with their broadband.
Given that BT line rental currently sets you back £15.45 and an anytime calls deal from the same place is an extra £5.15, any of O2's deals could constitute quite a significant saving.
30 days: try it out or stay flexible
O2 Broadband offers a 30 day money back guarantee on all their home broadband packages, one of the longest money back guarantees of any broadband provider.
It was also one of the few providers to offer a no contract option alongside its 12-month contracts, which, along with the prices, makes O2 a useful choice for students.
No contract broadband came with an upfront fee and the O2 router had to be returned after cancellation (the same applied to contract packages however).
For more detail see our guide to broadband contracts.
Free UK support
Finally, O2 Broadband offered totally free, UK based support.
In its early days, the provider was a smallish, word-of-mouth success but even with growing popularity the customer service department didn't over stretch itself and maintained a good reputation for sorting out problems.
The small and business orientated broadband providers still have the edge but, as a budget provider, O2 punched well above their weight.
I'm an O2 mobile phone customer and have been for many years. I would like to know if I can have a landline fitted into my house, and if so how much would this be and what would the monthly bills be like. I do not want broadband fitted.
Well as it says O2 broadband has closed.
You can get a BT line fitted for free if you do not already have one. If you already have an inactive BT line with a dial tone, BT are sometimes able to reconnect it within hours. If you apply for a service on BT's website, you will have a choice of packages and line rental options.
Avoid companies like TalkTalk and Sky Broadband they are bad. BT and Virgin Media are the way to go.

As Salaam Alaikum my question is since Jews and Christians reject Prophet Muhammad do they also reject all Prophets ? I ask because how can you say you believe in Prophet Jesus and Prophet Moses and Prophet Noah and than reject the Last Prophet and the Final Messenger the Seal of all the Prophets ? Jews claim to accept Moses but they reject Jesus and Christians claim to accept Jesus and reject Muhamad therefor I believe if you reject any Prophet you reject them all and you just become an Atheist also if you reject the Prophets or any Prophet you also reject God because God sent the Prophets peace and blessings be upon them all does anyone agree ?
Pharoah rejected Moses, The Jews rejected Jesus, Now The Christians, reject Muhammad?Mohamed.. The Illiterate Prophet, who Neither Read Or Write...
- When Prophet Muhammad was in solitude in the cave on Mount Hira. He was startled by the Angel of Revelation, Gabriel, the same who had come to Mary, the mother of Jesus, who seized him in a close embrace. A single word of command burst upon him: 'Iqra' - 'Read![1]' He said: 'I am not able to read!' but the command was issued twice more, each with the same response from the Prophet. Finally, he was grasped with overwhelming force by the angel. Gabriel released him, and the first 'recitation' of the Quran was revealed to him:
"Read in the name of your Lord who created -created man from a clot. Read: for your Lord is Most Bountiful, who teaches by the pen, teaches man that which he knew not." (Quran 96:1-5)"
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, "Please read this." And he will say, "I cannot read."
"Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper." (Quran 7:157)
Mohamed "a prophet from the line of Ishmael" God Said To Moses About Him :
The Lord said to me (Moses): "What they say is good. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you among their brothers; I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name, I will Myself call him to account." (Deuteronomy 18:17–19)
The phrase "a prophet like you among their brothers" clearly refers to a prophet from the line of Ishmael, the brother of Isaac, who is the forefather of Moses' people (the Children of Israel).
The only prophet who came from this line after Moses and resembled him in many ways (e.g., bringing a new law, and waging war on his enemies), is Prophet Muhammad.
Also, Deuteronomy 34:10 clearly states that no Prophet like Moses ever appeared among the Israelites: "[With respect to his virtues and awesome deeds,] a Prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knows face to face, no longer appeared among Israel."
The Quran points to the same fact,
[We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness over you, even as We sent to Pharaoh a Messenger] (Al-Muzzammil 73:15).
The sentence: "I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him", in the above Biblical verse, means that the promised prophet will be unlettered and speak whatever is revealed to him.
God states this in the Quran what means,
{ He does not speak out of [his own] desire. It is but a Revelation revealed } (An-Najm 53:3–4).
Mohamed.. The Prophet Who Came From Mount Paran .. Mecca,
"the Lord came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran" (Deuteronomy, 33:2), refers to the prophethood of Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, respectively, upon them be peace.
Prophet Moses spoke to God and received the Torah at Sinai; Prophet Jesus received Divine Revelation at Seir, a place in Palestine; and God manifested Himself to humanity for the last time through His Revelation to Prophet Muhammad at Paran, a mountain range near Mecca.
The Torah mentions (Genesis 21:21) Paran as the desert area where Prophet Abraham, upon him be peace, left Hagar and their son Ishmael. The Zamzam well also is located there. As stated explicitly in the Quran (Ibrahim 14:35–37), Abraham left them in the valley of Makkah, at that time an uninhabited place within Paran's mountain ranges.
"But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Paraklit will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment." (John 16:7-8)
In these verses, Prophet Muhammad is referred to as Paraklit, a Greek word meaning "the Distinguisher between Truth and Falsehood." Christian interpreters have given this word different meanings, such as "Counselor" (Gideon's International), "Helper" (American Bible Society), or "Comforter" (The Company of the Holy Bible), and claimed that it refers to the Holy Spirit. But they have never been able to establish whether the Holy Spirit came and did what Jesus foretold it would do.
Additional Details
If, according to Christians, the Holy Spirit is Archangel Gabriel, he came many times to Prophet Muhammad to bring Divine Revelation. Further, Jesus mentioned and predicted the Paraklit with various names, but always with the same function, as seen in the following verses:
"When the Paraklit comes — the Spirit of Truth — who comes from the Father, he will testify about me." (John 15:26)
I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking what is mine and making it known to you (John 16:12–14)
These are only a few of the Bible's allusions to Prophet

Who Is the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ?
Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Makkah in the year 570. Since his father died before his birth and his mother died shortly thereafter, he was raised by his uncle who was from the respected tribe of Quraysh. He was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained so till his death. His people, before his mission as a prophet, were ignorant of science and most of them were illiterate. As he grew up, he became known to be truthful, honest, trustworthy, generous, and sincere. He was so trustworthy that they called him the Trustworthy. Muhammad (PBUH) was very religious, and he had long detested the decadence and idolatry of his society.
At the age of forty, Muhammad (PBUH) received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. The revelations continued for twenty-three years, and they are collectively known as the Quran.
3 years ago
As soon as he began to recite the Quran and to preach the truth which God had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered persecution from unbelievers. The persecution grew so fierce that in the year 622 God gave them the command to emigrate. This emigration from Makkah to the city of Madinah, some 260 miles to the north, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar.
After several years, Muhammad (PBUH) and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies. Before Muhammad (PBUH) died, at the age of sixty-three, the greater part of the Arabian Peninsula had become Muslim, and within a century of his death, Islam had spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China. Among the reasons for the rapid and peaceful spread of Islam was the truth and clarity of its doctrine. Islam calls for faith in only one God, Who is the only one worthy of worship.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a perfect example of an honest, just, merciful, compassionate, truthful, and brave human being. Though he was a man, he was far removed from all evil characteristics and strove solely for the sake of God and His reward in the Hereafter. Moreover, in all his actions and dealings, he was ever mindful and fearful of God.
Muhammad (peace be upon him
Why don't Christians accept Mohammed as a prophet and the Quran as the last testament ???
Jews and Christians don't have Prophets ?
Yes we do but we do not believe them to be perfect and to never have sinned in their lives.
The sinlessness of the prophets is a matter of orthodoxy and tradition, not universally accepted and scripturally explicit dogma. If anything the scripture is explicit that there are a few cases of them sinning (the most well known being Adam's). But I know how sensitive an issue this is so I fear a very, very long case of the thread being taken off topic. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, okay? What's important is that they were the most righteous people who ever lived.
1 =/= 1,000s. Rejecting one prophet does not mean rejecting them all. In this case, however, it does indicate believing some inaccurate things about them. In the case of Christians this includes some very grave inaccuracies too.
I'm getting awfully tired of seeing the old claim that the Deuteronomy prophecy has to refer to an Ishmaelite. We're only making ourselves look bad by parroting that. There has been more than one recent thread which has gone into very detailed analyses providing much, much, much better evidence along those lines.
Christians do not consider "the Holy Spirit" to be Gabriel even though their own Bible contradicts them on this point (http://washmyheartwiththezamzam.tumblr.com/trinity). And the book of John was never revealed to Jesus personally (therefore it does not contain the al-Injil prophecy) but instead was written extremely late in the game (possibly as late as the mid-second century!) by some anonymous party who nonetheless falsely claimed to have been an apostle. It's fake--or at the very least unreliable, being completely non-synoptic and full of questionable details like the fact that Jesus doesn't even sound remotely like he does in the other Gospels, nor tell a single parable.

same moniker employed in the book of Revelation to refer to the seven angels.
There is a reference in the book to seven spirits (1:4, 3:1, 4:5, 5:6) but there is nothing to
indicate these are definitely angels. But 1:20 says, "The mystery of the seven stars which
thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the
angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven
churches. In this case, the stars are symbolized as angels.
Let it never be said that I am unwilling to admit to a mistake. I had already thought of adding a new point to that article anyway, so I may as well go ahead and replace the Revelation reference with said point in lieu of it. I don't know how it is I overlooked 1:20.
However, I have not overlooked the fact that you have snuck in a rebuttal to me despite being told in no unclear terms that you were on my ignore list--and in the process you quoted only one part of the overall argument. The negative reputation points you deserve for that are at least as whopping as what you've earned for helping me with that faux pas over Revelation, even as bad a perfectionist as I am. So as I have no earthly idea what to do in response here is a picture of Chewbacca riding a giant squirrel.

To answer the question of the thread starter, the Jews and Christians rejected out Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), along with a number of other Prophets, how ever they too accept the Prophethood of Moses, Noah, Abraham and so on. I hope that answers your question.
Logikon - I like your observation that only muslims have the concept of 'prophets'. Which I suppose loosely means those who were 'guided' by Allah to remind the people. There 25 are mentioned in the Quran (there were others) and few were also messeners.
Truthseeker63, (all this is my strong opnion)
Unfortunately for Islam, we only know the history from the time it started to be recorded and that was from the time of Rasulullah (pbuh). The rest, we depended on what he related and from the Quran itself. The Christians the same, from the tie of Jesus and with help from the Jews. And the Jews, from time immemorial. They recorded everything.
There must be reason why the 3 Books, rather than being a continuous progression and development of human 'civil'-isation, it became 3. It is The Divine Story and Plan. We can only hazard a guess.
Historically, when prophets preached on the One-ness of God, people rejected them. By the time of Moses however, that had changed. There was a group of people that did believe. The Jews believed in the idea of an All Mighty and they were waiting for their prophet to appear. A much different scenario to previous situations with other prophets (except for Yunus pbuh).
But Moses (pbuh) also introduced a 'new' law regarding usury to the Commandments. Not expecting this, they set about to alter this law. Over generations they did. When finalised, Jesus was 'sent' to remind the Jews that however they try to manipulate the law, usury is still a no-no. They accept already the One-ness of God, they already accept what is halal and haram, but no usury was something they could not accept in its 'true' form. Hence they had to reject Jesus (pbuh). From this point on, the previous 'pious' persons of past, became the common accepted 'prophets' as we see the consistency of the story of what they preached, the One-ness of God.
But for the followers of Jesus, in a nutshell, were supposed to be the Jews in the main, ended up being these people from the poor etc, created a 'new' religion, resulting in the name. That was not its purpose. It was for the followers of the Torah to mend their ways.
With Christianity established, prophet Muhammad(pbuh) was sent for the world also because there were 2 other people of the Books, (not including the Psalms here). On usury for the Jews and the falseness of the Trinity for the Christians. Unfortunately, the Christians sought advice from the Jews hence also rejected prophet Muhammad (pbuh) hence the 'Old' and 'New' Testament together and the Quran is always on its own.
My $0.20 worth.
Incidentally, Christians seem to see their prophets in a different light. The prophets of the Bible were people who earnestly sought God and desired to obey and follow him. But they were NOT perfect. In fact, many had some serious flaws.
Noah was a drunkard.
Abraham was a liar and let his wife sleep with other men to save his own skin.
David was an adulterer and a murderer.
etc, etc
You see that it's not a pretty picture!
So our concept of prophets is different to that of Muslims. (Please don't be offended at what I have written.)
With regards to the prophet Muhammad (pbuh), I believe that he was a prophet of God and somebody who desired to serve God. I have no problem thinking of him as a prophet and a man of God. But that does not mean that I believe everything he understood and taught about God was correct. (Again, no offense intended. I am speaking from a Christian perspective here)
Yes, this is true to a point, except that I don't believe you can delineate Christian dogma strictly on what has been recorded as what Jesus (as) said and without using what Paul wrote. Christians accept the veracity of Paul's claim in Galatians of having received a revelation from God without conciously accepting him as a messenger of God. I believe that this very point is a most critical one, for without my unconditional acceptance of Muhammad (saaws) as the last messenger of God, I believe that my acceptance of Islam would have no foundation to stand upon.I take exception to these claims and reject them all as false. I do not accept everything written in the Bible as 100% true and I reject all that is not consistent with my beliefs. These men are truly that - men - and they were not perfect in the way that angels are, but it does not behoove their station of being among the most honored to have committed those major sins.
But they were NOT perfect. In fact, many had some serious flaws.
Noah was a drunkard.
Abraham was a liar and let his wife sleep with other men to save his own skin.
David was an adulterer and a murderer.
etc, etcOf course, you could not accept all he taught about God and Jesus, for to do so you would no longer be a Christian. The critical issue is which beliefs are true and which are false because verily Jesus cannot be at the same time God Incarnate and not God Incarnate. In the end we make our decisions and we live with the consequences thereof. I can understand the enormity of changing one's belief and the difficulty to reject what they have believed and to subsequently consider it as false. This paradigm shift does not come from the outside, nor can anyone will for it to happen, but rather it comes from an 'aha' moment where the proverbial light bulb comes on to shed new light on a matter of belief.
With regards to the prophet Muhammad (pbuh), I believe that he was a prophet of God and somebody who desired to serve God. I have no problem thinking of him as a prophet and a man of God. But that does not mean that I believe everything he understood and taught about God was correct.

They taught that people should be under no misperception that they can commit themselves to God as their Lord, and then combine this with accepting others as their Lord, or associating others in His Divinity, in whatever way. They taught that we should strive hard to translate our belief in the One True God into practice, by obeying God and the messengers He sent, who were also role models and examples for us, showing us practically how to put the guidance they were sent with into practice in our daily lives, explaining the scriptures, warning against wrongdoing, and giving additional legislation from God.
As to whether blaspheming/rejecting a prophet or messenger, is tantamount to blaspheming/rejecting the One who sent them, Allah knows best, and the Qur'an says this :
Verily, those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and wish to make distinction between Allah and His Messengers (by believing in Allah and disbelieving in His Messengers) saying, "We believe in some but reject others," and wish to adopt a way in between,
Those are the disbelievers, truly. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a disgraceful punishment.
But they who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not discriminate between any of them - to those He is going to give their rewards. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. (4:150-152)
He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah; but those who turn away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian. (4:80)
That Day, those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger will wish they could be covered by the earth. And they will not conceal from Allah a [single] statement. (4:42)
And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip.(69:10)
Allah chastises the Jews many times in the Qur'an for their blaspheming, rejecting and killing of prophets and messengers, even though they professed belief in Him.
In the Qur'an, Allah praises (mentions the good qualities of) the Prophets time and time again, in beautiful and sometimes tender terms, sometimes as a group, and sometimes by name.
And We gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - all [of them] We guided. And Noah, We guided before; and among his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the doers of good.
And Zechariah and John and Jesus and Elias - and all were of the righteous.
And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot - and all [of them] We preferred over the worlds.
And [some] among their fathers and their descendants and their brothers - and We chose them and We guided them to a straight path.
That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whomever He wills of His servants. But if they had associated others with Allah , then worthless for them would be whatever they were doing.
Those are the ones to whom We gave the Scripture and authority and prophethood. But if the disbelievers deny it, then We have entrusted it to a people who are not therein disbelievers.
Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, so from their guidance take an example. Say, "I ask of you for this message no payment. It is not but a reminder for the worlds." (6:84-90)
So when he [Abraham] had left them and those they worshipped other than Allah , We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.
And We gave them of Our mercy, and we made for them a reputation of high honor. (19:49-50)
And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and [religious] vision.
And they are with Us, verily, of the chosen and the best! (38:45,47)
Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allah]. (38:17)
Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants. (37:79,81)
Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran over the worlds. (3:33)
Those were the ones upon whom Allah bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping. (19:58)
These are just a few examples.
Imagine giving the Biblical stories of prophets and the Quranic stories of prophets to a child. A Muslim child takes inspiration, and learns to respect and honour them, and strives to be like them. People would hesitate to show children TV programs or books that contain scenes similar to the explicit verses in the Bible, and would make sure they didn't see them, as it would be deemed unsuitable and a bad influence. Which of these can truly be from God? The answer is evident. One has to open one's heart and eyes to it, and think about it.
To blaspheme, reject, discriminate, or at the other extreme, to deify any prophet or messenger, takes one outside the fold of Islam. We believe in them as they were, nothing less and nothing more. All the Prophets and Messengers of Allah are accepted, believed in and honoured wholeheartedly as amongst the noblest and purest of humanity that ever walked the face of the earth, and chosen and sent by God to convey His message to us. We don't pick and choose which ones we believe in, nor which parts of their message we believe in.
Last edited by Insaanah; 05-11-2013 at 11:11 PM. Reason: added first few ayaat
I don't think the question in this thread should be the mere rejection of the Prophethood of Muhammad (saw), but why there is a rejection in the first place. The rejection is because Jews and Christians have not recognized the Holy Prophet (saw) as a Prophet of Allah. There are a lot of reasons why Jews and Christians would reject his Prophethood. But it is a matter of whether their knowledge is sufficient in that regard or not.
There are so many ways to prove his prophethood. For Christians, if you take the miracles of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), they will greatly outnumber the miracles recorded for Jesus (as) in the Bible and Qur'an together, and add on to that any other source of information. I have no doubt in my mind that the miracles of the Holy Prophet (saw) number no less than a couple thousand. Each Ayat of the Qur'an is a miracle in itself, and then you have life instances of miracles. Add on to that the great number of prophecies to his count. Add on to that the great wisdom of his teachings and their applicability which stands the test of time. Add on to that the testament he has given to all of the past prophets and the great respect he has given them and the high spiritual status which Allah has gave him. Add on to that the great achievements his people made after him due to his influence on them and his teachings.
Nothing of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) shows that he was a liar. Rejecting his Prophethood means calling him a liar. We Muslims know he was truthful. If a Christian or a Jew made a serious study of his life and considered everything that went on carefully with some diligence, then there would be no occasion for them to reject his (saw)'s superiority in his Prophethood and his high status with Allah. They would see that accepting him was no detriment to a Christian's acceptance of Jesus (as) and a Jew's acceptance of Moses (as). I have seen this proof in some of the youtube videos of Christian converts. I know for a fact that they saw from their study of Islam, the true teachings of Jesus (as).
But I strongly emphasize that if it is in the department of miracles which Jews and Christians would find that they wanted to challenge the prophethood of Muhammad (saw), then they will see no competition in the amount of miracles he has done in comparison to the past Prophets. He has the Holy Qur'an, which displays countless miracles in every age of mankind. This will continue until the Day of Judgment. it has been 1400 years Hijra, and yet no challenge has demolished the truth of the Holy Qur'an. Only falsehood disintegrates with time. Truth always remains supreme.
I invite every Christian and Jew on this forum to read the Holy Qur'an and see these miracles for themselves.
I have known a few Christians who believe that if one rejects Jesus and the Bible they are atheists. They live under the assumption that everybody believes Jesus (a human being) is god and just denies it.
I find this absurd thinking very illogical.
If one does not accept another prophet then it is obviously because of bias and corrupt scriptures which the Christians have. The Bible is not a book known for its textual preservation after all
Could it be that Christians, by deifying him, also reject Jesus (as) as prophet and messenger somewhat along the lines of Matthew 13: 53-57 When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?" they asked. "Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home."
These people rejected Jesus (as) because they saw him as a lowly "carpenter's son" (hmm, like Luke 3:23 He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph) and not a respectable rabbi or from among the priestly class. I have heard Christians say that it was not so important what Jesus said and did while walking on earth, but rather what is important is what they believe he did on the cross. In contrast, the disciples recognized full well the importance of Jesus' teachings and set as a criteria for Judas' replacement in Acts 1:21-22 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us... Note that Paul could not have known what Jesus taught his disciples, but Christians fully accept what Paul claims to have received as a revelation from God. Consequently, they unwittingly accept Paul and reject Jesus as their prophet who taught them what to believe as the cornerstone for their religion. This point was hinted at by the Christian minister, William Newell, in the 1950's when he wrote "Paul's Gospel" and gave the title of 'great revelator' to Paul - equating him with Moses.
THERE are two great revelators, or unfolders of Divine Truth in the Bible—Moses in the Old Testament and Paul in the New.
Someone may say, "Is not Christ the Great Teacher?" In a sense this is true; but in a real sense Christ is the Person taught about, rather than teaching in the Gospels. The Law and the Prophets pointed forward to Christ; the Epistles point back to Him; and the Book of Revelation points to His Second Coming, and those things connected with it. The Four Gospels tell the story how He was revealed to men and rejected by them. Christ, Himself, therefore is the theme of the Bible. Moses in the Law reveals God's holiness, and thus by means of the Law reveals human sin and the utter hopelessness and helplessness of man. Paul in his great Epistles reveals Christ as our Righteousness, Sanctification, Redemption, and All-in-All.
I believe rejecting Prophet Muhammad is also rejecting Prophet Moses and Jesus because God sent them all and Muhammad is the Last Prophet and Prophet Jesus foretold the coming of Prophet Muhammad.
The assertion of God having a son is not even scripturally supported by them but if you read the history of the Bible you will understand how they did this. The Bible was voted upon to achieve its current state and form. That form being forged from the Torah and misconstrued to fit a Hellenic preference.
Rejecting the teachings of any Prophet or Messenger is rejecting all the Messengers of Allah. This is because Allah says in Surah Ash-Shu'ara:
[26:105] The people of Noah denied the messengers
[26:123] 'Aad denied the messengers
[26:141] Thamud denied the messengers
[26:160] The people of Lot denied the messengers
[26:176] The companions of the thicket denied the messengers
Notice the plural in 'messengers'. There was only a single Messenger sent to each of them but Allah says that they have denied Messengers, meaning all the Messengers. This is because the teaching of all the Messengers of Allah is the same and denying one of them results in denying all of them.
This is how the above Ayaat were explained by Shaikh Ali AbdurRahman Hudhaify in a Jumu'ah Khutbah at Masjid An-Nabawi (around 2-3 years ago).
I don't think one can truly be a Jew, Christian, or Muslim if he or she rejects Muhammad, for Muhammad fills the same role as the messengers before him, and the message and teachings Muhammad brought are the same as the message and teachings of Moses and Jesus that Judaism and Christianity were originally founded on. Being a Jew, Christian, or a Muslim are originally/ultimately based on the same truth. if you reject this truth and the one who brings it, you therefore reject Judaism, Christianity and Islam because they are all originally based on and derived from that truth.

Media titan Roger Ailes, who resigned from his positions as chairman and CEO of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network amid sexual harassment allegations last year, has died at age 77.
Ailes resigned from Fox last summer in the wake of former Fox News Channel Host Gretchen Carlson's sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Ailes had denied the allegations from Carlson, who claimed she was fired after she refused to have a sexual relationship with the executive.
Ailes founded Fox News and helped shape the modern cable news landscape in the process. Before that, he worked as a producer and also worked in politics as a consultant. In the early 1990s, he served as president of CNBC, which he left to create Fox News.
In a statement, his wife Elizabeth Ailes said, "I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning surrounded by his beautiful family. Roger was my best friend, the most wonderful loving husband and father to our son Zachary, He was a loyal friend to so many. Roger was a patriot, grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard, to rise-and to give back. During a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment, in politics, and in news affected the lives of many millions."
In a separate statement, multiple plaintiffs' attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, in a lawsuit against Ailes wrote: "The sudden passing of Roger Ailes will make it difficult for Fox News to refute the allegations against him as his testimony was not secured by sworn testimony to date."
No cause of death was given.
Fox News hosts took to Twitter to commemorate Ailes.
Sean Hannity Tweet: Today America lost one of its great patriotic warriors. Roger Ailes. For Decades RA's has impacted American politics and media.
Bret Baier: Love and prayers to Beth and Zach. R.I.P Roger – you changed television as we know it.
Even after Ailes left the network, Fox found itself embroiled in additional sexual harassment claims. A new lawsuit earlier this year made fresh allegations against Ailes while a New York Times investigation found that multiple women received settlements after making sexual harassment claims against Bill O'Reilly.
After a wave of advertisers pulled their ads from O'Reilly's program, Fox News announced he would leave the network, marking the second high-profile man to leave the network amid sexual harassment allegations.

Message from the Principal
In the last month we have been given a reminder about the power of giving. The Optimist club have kindly donated a new tire garden playground to our primary yard. This new play space is very exciting for our students and is a welcome addition to our yard. More importantly the play space is dedicated to the memory of Joan and Ruth Weiser. Joan was deeply committed to youth in the community and she spent countless hours volunteering in the school breakfast program and helping kids learn how to read. We know that her community spirit will continue to inspire the students who enjoy the play space daily.
I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday season. This has been an extremely busy Fall and hopefully the break gives everyone a chance to rest and to enjoy time with friends and family. I look forward to continuing to work together in the New Year!
Our Mission Statement:
At Normanby we provide a safe and caring learning environment
that promotes respectful and supportive relationships.
We believe that all students can achieve their full social, emotional,
and intellectual potential through positive interactions and sound instructional practice.

To Kill a Whale Trailer (1994)
01 January 1994 52 mins
Each year the people of the Faroe Islands, a Danish community, entice a pod of whales into their harbor, and then men and youths enter the water to slaughter them. As many as 1000 whales die in this one massacre. To Kill a Whale investigates what actually happens in the Faroes, retracing the island's history and looking at the first film of the whale cull, which was recorded by investigators from the Environmental Investigation Agency and which encouraged international condemnation of the cull.
Watch the official To Kill a Whale 1994 trailer in HD below or find more To Kill a Whale videos on Vidimovie.

So, here's the thing. We have a schedule and its working. Somehow, however, the day runs long and I'm not getting anything but the basics done each day. We wake up, we watch J until 9, we have breakfast, we do our chores, we exercise, we have lunch, we do school work and by the time we're done it is 7 p.m. at the earliest. I've lost my days and I can't find them! It is 8:50 p.m. as I type this and the Girl and I just got back from WalMart while the Boy was at Scouts. This is pretty typical. By 9:30, I have to be ready to read aloud for half an hour! I'm late!
Where, oh, where have my da--ays gone,
Oh, where, oh, where can they be?
I'm not stressed, but I feel like I want to get more stuff done - more fun stuff. Ah, well, must sign off and go pack the bag of clothes for the charity truck arriving tomorrow morning.

Egypt has more to lose than to gain if it abrogates the peace treaty with
Israel, international law expert Prof. Ruth Lapidot told the annual
Jerusalem convention of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish
Organizations on Wednesday.Lapidot noted that under international law,
Egypt is obligated to abide by treaties in line with the principles of the
continuity of states regardless of changes in the regime. Continuity of states
means that the country and the people remain the same even if the government
changes, she explained.

Sydney Blinds Frequently Asked Questions
Are you considering installing mini-blinds to a couple of the windows in your home? Before buying any blinds you need to learn the most FAQs and the answers to help you choose if this is the best type of window covering for your house's windows.
Below you will find the questions that are the most important for you to learn the answer to.
1. How much is it going to cost you to get the blinds you need?
The truth is that there are many varying costs for blinds Sydney. It is all going to depend on the type and style of blind you choose.
Be sure before you start shopping for blinds that you know your budget so you can get what you want without doing yourself any financial damage. Blinds are one of the most affordable window coverings you can find, but only shop when you know your spending limit.
2. How easy is the maintenance of blinds?
Every person that adds any type of window covering to their home wants them to look good for a long time. Many people also want a low maintenance covering that can easily be cleaned in a very short time.
3. Will replacing my windows affect my blinds?
In general, windows are replaced from outside which means less mess, less furniture moving and less inconvenience on the inside. There are some circumstances that require installation from inside so be sure to ask when you get a bid from your window replacement company. That way you can be prepared for any work that need to happen inside your home. You may be able to come up with a solution that does not involve you removing your Sydney blinds completely.
4. Can I change the style of my windows and blinds?
Yes! If you think a different style of window would improve the curb appeal of your home. If you do choose to change your windows, there is a chance you will need to change your blinds to match. However, there are many circumstances where changing the style of window will not affect the blinds you have installed.
5. Will the blinds provide enough privacy and insulation?
Every type of window covering you add in your home needs to provide you with good insulation to help keep the room cool or warm, depending on the time of year it is. You want to be able to open the blinds for more sunlight when needed, but the blinds need to help with insulation also to help you save a little money. These are the most frequently asked questions and the answers about mini-blinds that will help you decide if this is the right type of window covering for your home's windows. Be sure to take time to check out your options for blinds yourself before making your final choice so you can make it with confidence and so you will know that you are getting the exact window treatments you want to add to your home.
