Thomas not guilty of homicide in road rage death
A Washington County jury deliberated for less than three hours before finding an ex-soldier not guilty of homicide in the road rage shooting death of a Washington man.
Brandon Thomas, 32, of Upper St. Clair was acquitted in the October 2012 shooting death of 55-year-old Vaughn Simonelli in the parking lot of the Shop 'n Save supermarket in Washington. He claimed Simonelli was the aggressor and he shot him in self-defense while inside his vehicle.
Thomas was found guilty of possession of drug paraphernalia for having five empty stamp bags in his sock at the time of the shooting. Judge Katherine Emery sentenced him to 6 to 12 months in prison on that charge with credit for time he has served in jail since the shooting and ordered that he be released today (May 14).
Attorney Frank Walker told the jury in his closing argument that Thomas had his life interrupted in his prime and that a family has lost a loved one.
Walker said Thomas, an Army veteran who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, was followed, threatened and attacked while sitting in his Hummer and that Thomas, within his rights under the Castle Doctrine law, defended himself, firing two shots that hit Vaughn Simonelli, 55, of Washington.
Pennsylvania's Castle Doctrine law was amended in 2011 to allow a person to use deadly force for self-defense in his vehicle as well as his home if he believes he it is necessary to protect himself from death or serious bodily injury.
"What were Thomas' options?" Walker asked. "He stayed on scene. He didn't flee. He called 911."
Walker said the prosecution's case was "riddled with reasonable doubt." He reminded the jury that the key witness, the man that said he saw Thomas shoot Simonelli while outside of his vehicle, couldn't be located for the trial. And while the prosecution attempted to paint Thomas as a drug user, Walker said the topic was never brought up during the initial interviews.
First Assistant District Attorney Chad Schneider disagreed.
"What did Vaughn Simonelli do that he had to die that day?" Schneider said.
Schneider then addressed the inconsistent eyewitness accounts. He said each person saw the incident at a different time, at a different location and remembered things differently over the course of events.
"That must be taken into consideration."
Thomas was accused of fatally shooting Simonelli on Oct. 18, 2012 in the parking lot of the Shop 'n Save as a result of a road-rage incident that occurred along Jefferson Avenue near the PNC Bank. Witnesses testified that Thomas was driving erratically and cut off Simonelli's vehicle. They said Simonelli confronted Thomas on Jefferson and that Thomas drove away. Simonelli followed Thomas to the parking lot, blocked him into a parking space, and confronted him again. Testimony was conflicting on what happened next, but Thomas fired his weapon twice, killing Simonelli with the first shot.
Thomas told investigators that Simonelli was the aggressor and attacked him while he was sitting in his Hummer.
Schneider argued that while the testimony is inconsistent, none of the witnesses reported seeing Simonelli strike Thomas.

Topical retinoids such as Retin A and Differin typically take at least 3-6 months before results can be appreciated. They are usually prescribed in conjunction with other topical and oral modalities as the pathogenesis of acne is multifactorial. Topical retinoids do not cause more blackheads/whiteheads but additional ones can appear independently while using these medicines.

- Two Eyebrow Threading Sessions
- Eyebrow Threading and Tinting
Fabulous Eyebrow Threading
In ancient Persia, threading was more than a beauty ritual—it was a rite of passage. Beautifiers would thread a bride's entire face before she walked down the aisle, and give girls similar treatments to signal their transitions to womanhood. Today, Fabulous Eyebrow Threading's staff members enlist the historically significant practice to accentuate the faces of their clients. They snag and remove entire lines of eyebrow or lip hair with one swift tug, making threading more precise but less painful than tweezing or poking each hair until it is so annoyed that it uproots itself and leaves. They can also use soft wax on faces and bodies if patrons prefer it, and can embellish or refresh newly groomed visages with lash extensions and facials.

Skip to comments.AQAP Calling for Lone-Wolf Jihad Attacks Targeting 'Populations'; Chemical and Biological Weapons
Posted on 05/14/2012 5:08:52 AM PDT by SJackson
AQAP Releases Issues VIII and IX of Its English-Language Magazine 'Inspire', Calling for Lone-Wolf Jihad Attacks Targeting 'Populations'; Permitting Chemical and Biological Weapons
On May 2, 2012, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released Issues VIII (Fall 2011, 63 pp) and IX, (Winter 2012, 62 pp) of its English-language online magazine Inspire on the main jihadi forums Shumoukh Al-Islam and Al-Fida'. These issues are dedicated to U.S.-born Al-Qaeda leader Anwar Al-Awlaki and to his protégée and fellow American jihadi Samir Khan (killed September 2011 in Yemen in a U.S. drone strike), including writings and statements by them and by others about them.
The issues' release was accompanied by an apparent attempt by Western governments just prior to publication to bring down the forums' websites, but the websites were back up a short time later, with the magazines posted.
In 2010, the British government had attempted to block the release of the summer issue of Inspire by corrupting the file. Since Al-Qaeda is aware of these Western attempts to prevent the distribution of the magazine, it notified readers, on the inside front cover of Issue IX in a notice titled "Media Advice": "Throw the magazine onto forums. Muslim and non-Muslim forums alike. The FBI might be trying to bring down sites that host the magazine, so mailing lists are an important way to get the magazine across."[1]
The main themes in these issues of Inspire are:
A) Instructions and calls for lone-wolf Al-Qaeda followers to carry out attacks in the U.S. This continues the development previously identified by MEMRI that is, Al-Qaeda is striving to place the responsibility for jihad in America upon the Muslim community in the U.S. This is instead of having mujahideen come from other parts of the world to attack the U.S., and instead of recruiting American Muslims to fight on other jihadi fronts worldwide (see MEMRI Inquiry and Analysis No. 639, "New Trend in Al-Qaeda's Recruitment Efforts: American Muslims Should Carry the Burden of Jihad in U.S.," October 19, 2010, http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/852/4685.htm).
As the Inspire staff wrote in Issue V of the magazine: "[B]ased on your ability, you choose the target [in your home area]. Your pool of targets is large, so make sure to think of all of the available options. An example of something local, easy, and effective is attacking an army recruiting center, nightclub, highway, or busy shopping mall". A much-discussed article in the magazine's first issue said: "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom." Khan reiterates and underlines this point in his last statement, published in Issue IX, in which he states: "So for Muslims to live in America, it is dangerous since America and the Western world are lands of war, giving Muslims the ability to freely attack them in whatever methods they choose."
Inspire has been translated from English into Spanish, German, French, as well as Arabic, Urdu, Bangladeshi, and Turkish. Indicative of the impact that the magazine has had is that a growing number of lone-wolf jihadis have been arrested throughout the West with copies of the magazine in their possession (see Appendix: Lone Wolf Jihadi Attacks in the West).
B) Justifying the targeting of "populations of countries at war with the Muslims," including non-combatants, and by every means, including with chemical and biological weapons.
C) Challenging claims by President Obama and other U.S. officials that Al-Qaeda is "devastated" or "decimated," and stressing that the organization, its magazine Inspire, and its attacks are continuing.
D) The issues also include eulogies for and glorification of the lives and deaths of Al-Awlaki and Khan, as well as writings by them, and various other topics.
The following is a review of Issues VIII and IX of Inspire:
A. Instructions and Calls for Al-Qaeda Followers to Carry Out Lone-Wolf Attacks
Individual Jihad "Workshop" for Martyrdom Seekers
An article titled "The Convoy of Martyrs," which is a workshop setting out the best way to carry out a "jihadi operation," states: "The objective of this workshop is to communicate with those who seek martyrdom operations or those who want to execute a slaughter to the enemies of Islam, those who have no means of contacting their Mujahideen brothers whatever the reasons, the aim is to activate them in the midst of the enemy weather the enemy was the Jews, the Christians or the apostates. It is becoming obvious to many that the concept of individual jihad which features have begun to appear recently has been called for by the leaders of jihad. It is briefly that one individual only carries out the entire jihadi operation. For more information about the concept of individual jihad, watch the film entitled 'You are not held responsible except for yourself' produced by al-Sahab jihadi foundation."
The workshop lists "required information" for the mujahideen for carrying out attacks, including identifying suitable targets, ways of contacting those seeking to carry out attacks, and detailed instructions, such as the use of encryption software and specific ways of emailing, including the blocking of possible "infiltrated e-mails."
Article: Becoming "An Effective Assassin"
The article, written by Uthman Ibn Al-Ightiyal, lays out seven best qualities a good assassin has which will bring "victory" to Islam. "These are some of the outstanding qualities of the urbanite assassin. There are different types of assassin roles available, however the role detailed here is meant specifically for those individuals who want to partake in a jihad that they intend to repeat through a series of operations until martyrdom. An individual [assassin] of any type can benefit from these aforementioned qualities. If the assassin can carry out his operations in this manner, then he will become a Nidal Hassan that is invisible to the public and enemy eye. The operations would be carried out on a consistent basis, shaking up the entire nation and making her deteriorate from within. That is just for one person; how about if ten or twenty Muslims took up this praiseworthy assignment in America alone, each of them not connected to one another?"
"Open Source Jihad" Series: Lessons on Training with Handguns, Remote Control Detonations
Every issue of Inspire so far has included a section on "Open Source Jihad," which is described as "a resource manual for those who loathe the tyrants, include[ing] bomb making techniques, security measures, guerilla tactics, weapons training and all other jihad related activities, [which] allows Muslims to train at home instead of risking a dangerous travel abroad." Previously published installments include articles with titles such as "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom," and "Training with the AK."
Issue VIII presents sections on "Training with the Handgun," and "Remote Control Detonation," while Issue IX provides detailed information on igniting firebombs, including details on the best location, best season of the year, and best method of execution.
Installment of "Jihad Experiences" Series: On "The Most Important Enemy Targets Aimed At By the Individual Jihad"
Also in the issues are further installments in the "Jihadi Experiences" series, which consists of excerpts from a book by one of Al-Qaeda's most prominent ideologues and strategists, Abu Mus'ab Al-Suri, who, according to reports, was released recently from prison in Syria.[2]
In Issue IX, in an installment titled "The Most Important Enemy Targets Aimed at by the Individual Jihad," Al-Suri discusses the best places to strike the enemy in particular "the heart of America itself." The list includes:
· "Main political figures who lead the campaign against the Muslims such as the heads of states, ministers, military and security leaders.
· "Large strategic economic targets, such as: The Stock Exchange, power and oil installations, airports, harbors, railroad systems, bridges and highway intersections, tunnels on the highways, metro systems, tourist targets and so on, [targeting] resources and sources for the economy.
· "Military bases and barracks where the armies are concentrated, especially the American military bases in Europe.
· "Media personalities and media centers that are leading the war against the Muslims and justifying the attacks on them, coming from the Zionist and Zionist-friendly Crusader media institutions.
· "Centralized information and computer centers that are in control of connecting the different institutions within the state, because this will completely paralyze the activity within that state.
· "Places where Jews are gathered, their leading personalities and institutions in Europe, avoiding places of worship and synagogues.
· "Official offices of the governmental institutions of those countries that are waging war, both on the state level and on the level of unions and political and military alliances, in the case where they participate in the aggression. Such as the offices of the NATO and the European Union this requires decisions that have been studied carefully from a political perspective.
· "Buildings of the security services and the central intelligence in the capitals of America and allied Western states.
· "Striking civilians in general, to deter them or for retaliation (avoiding women and children when separated from men in places especially designed for them, like schools and the similar). This for example is when responding to a brutal practice carried out by America and her allied forces. The type of attack, which repels states and topples governments, is mass slaughter of the population. This is done by targeting human crowds in order to inflict maximum human losses. This is very easy since there are numerous such targets such as crowded sports arenas, annual social events, large international exhibitions, crowded marketplaces, sky-scrapers, crowded buildings etc."
Religious Justification for Setting Forest Fires "In the Land of the Kuffar Enemies"
Sheikh Harith Al-Nadari[3] provides religious justification for starting forest fires "in the land of the Kuffar enemies." He states: "Our war with the enemies of Allah is multifarious, but at the same time it is disciplined according to the Sharia of Islam. We obtain victory only from Allah and as long as we commit ourselves to the laws of the Almighty Allah, we are without a doubt victorious. Before burning the forests we must know the Sharia ruling regarding this action and my legitimate declaration is as follows: The burning of forests, farms, orchards and meadows in the land of the Kuffar enemies is a legitimate act. According to the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His messenger."
Follow the Example of the "Unremorseful Mujahid" The Christmas Day Bomber
In an article in Issue IX titled "Unremorseful Mujahid," author Abu Muhammad sets Christmas Day 2009 "underwear bomber" Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab as an example for other lone-wolf jihadis to emulate. He writes: "Farooq marched solo without fearing dangers. No reason for you saying you have no supporters. He overcame his emotions and threw away his fears. Here is your example, make haste and be victorious." Abu Muhammad adds, "This is the life of the mujahid who confronts falsehood and its people. If he is killed he obtains martyrdom and if he is captured or imprisoned, the words of honor and steadfastness emerge from him. This is precisely what happened to our brother Umar al-Faruq when stood and replied to the criminals with full confidence and determination saying: 'The mujahideen are proud to kill in the name of God. And that is exactly what God told us to do in the Qur'an.'"
"It Is of Your Freedom to Ignite a Firebomb"
Another article in Issue IX, written by "the AQ Chef" and titled "It Is of Your Freedom to Ignite a Firebomb," calls on Muslims to set off mass fires in the U.S. The article mentions several mass fires from recent history, noting that they produced "heat energy equal to that of 23 nuclear bombs." It goes to describe how to ignite such destructive fires, detailing the materials needed to create a bomb to spark them, as well as how best to place, position, and time it for full effect.
Inspirational Image for Lone-Wolf Jihadis: "Yes We Can"
An image showing an armed individual on an escalator is accompanied by the caption "Yes We Can." The text below the image explains: "The following is a Fight in the West ad production. It seeks to inspire the believers to perform their duty of fighting for Islam's cause."
B. Inspire Justifies Attacks on Civilians, Including Women and Children, and Using Chemical and Biological Weapons
Issue VIII opens with an announcement by the magazine's editor-in-chief, Yahya Ibrahim, stating: "In the last few issue[s] of Inspire, we announced that we would be holding an exclusive video interview with Shaykh Anwar al-Awlaki where he will answer the questions of our readers. The question that was most frequently asked was the shari'ah view on killing 'civilians' in the operations of mujahidin. Because of the relevance and great importance of this issue, Shaykh Anwar devoted an article in this issue to answer the question. We encourage our readers to circulate this article on forums and to mailing lists to remove the doubts and confusions that surround this issue."
In the article itself, titled "Targeting the Populations of Countries that Are at War with the Muslims," Anwar Al-'Awlaki indeed justifies the targeting of non-combatant populations (i.e. women and children) in countries at war with Muslims, including with chemical and biological weapons, and supports his opinion with statements by Islamic imams and scholars.
Al-Awlaki: All Means Are Permissible in Targeting "Populations of Countries at War with the Muslims" Al-Awlaki writes: "The use of poisons or chemical and biological weapons against population centers is allowed and is strongly recommended due to its great effect on the enemy. Regarding the importance and permissibility of using such weapons, the classical scholars have said the following:
"Imam al-Mawardi: ...It is allowed to attack the enemy (in the place where they live such as their cities or villages) when they are not aware, like what the Messenger of Allah did with Bani al-Mustalaq, and it is allowed to attack them at night and set fire to their homes and throw on them fire, snakes or scorpions, demolish their homes with them inside, release floods onto them, cutoff their water supply, and do onto them all what would lead to their destruction without refraining just because of the women and children that are among them, even if that would lead to the deaths of their women and children. This is because the Messenger of Allah did not stop from attacking Bani al-Mustalaq or al-Taif because of their women and children. The instruction of the Messenger of Allah not to kill women and children is when they are intentionally executed; also when they fall as booty they should not be killed. However when they are residing in dar al-ĥarb, it is ĥalal to target them and they carry the same ruling as their men.'
"Imam al-Sarkhasi (a Hanafi scholar) quotes Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Sharĥ al-Sayr al-Kabir: 'It is allowed for the Muslims to burn the fortresses of the disbelievers with fire, to flood them with water, or to put blood, feces or poison in their water until they contaminate it because Allah commanded us to subdue them and break their strength and all the methods of war which we mentioned that would lead to their weakening would be fulfilling the commands (of Allah) and would not fall under disobeying (of Allah). All of this also damages the enemy and that is a way to obtain rewards... None of the mentioned (methods of war) are prohibited [even] if there is among them Muslim prisoners of war, people who are given peace, young or old, men or women even if we know that, because there is no way to avoid them and at the same time fulfill the commands of subjugating the disbelievers and whatever is not possible to avoid is forgiven'...
"Imam al-Kharshi (a Maliki scholar): 'It is allowed to fight the enemy if they do not respond to what we call them to with all forms of war. It is allowed to cut off water from them to kill them from thirst, to release floods on them, to drown them according to the famous opinion, or to kill them with weapons such as a blow from a sword, a stab from a lance, a missile from a mangonel [catapult] or other weapons of war.'
"Imam al-Shafi'i: 'If the enemy protects himself in a mountain, a fortress, a trench, with thorn trees, or with any form of protection it is allowed to strike them with mangonels, catapults, fire, scorpions, snakes and all what harms them. It is allowed to flood them with water to drown them, or to get them hampered in mud. That is whether women, children and priests are among them or not because the land (of war) is not protected with Islam or with a covenant. It is also acceptable to burn their fruit trees or other trees, to destroy their buildings and all what doesn't have a soul from their belongings.'
"Imam al-Bahuti (a Hanbali scholar): 'It is also allowed to strike them (the disbelievers) and put fire, snakes, or scorpions in the scales of the mangonel, to fill their tunnels with smoke, to release floods on them in order to drown them, and to destroy their fortresses and buildings. But if we can defeat them without the use of fire then we shouldn't use it.'
"Imam al-Shawkani: 'Allah has commanded us to kill the disbelievers without specifying the methods of doing so. Allah did not command us to do this or not do that. Therefore there is no preventing from killing them with every means of killing whether it is shooting, stabbing, flooding, demolishing buildings on them or throwing them from heights.'"
Al-Awlaki concludes: "These statements of the scholars show that it is allowed to use poison or other methods of mass killing against the disbelievers who are at war with us. In addition to that, there are many other important insights in their statements that the reader may benefit from. The populations of the nations that are at war with the Muslims and especially those who are at the lead such as the U.S., Britain and France should be targeted by the mujahidin in operations that employ explosives, poisons, firearms and all other methods that lead to inflicting the greatest harm on them and this is among the greatest deeds a Muslim can worship Allah with in our day and time."
The Actions of the Toulouse Shooter Were Justified Because He Was Pursuing a Sacred Goal
Another article, titled "Do the Mujahideen and Christian Terrorists Have Similar Goals?" compares the Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik (who killed dozens of teens at a summer camp in July 2011) to Toulouse shooter Muhammad Merah (who also killed children). The article stresses that the difference between them is "night and day," because Christian terrorists "seek mere bloodshed" while the Muslim mujahideen fight for the sacred goal of instating shari'a worldwide and in retaliation for crimes perpetrated against the Muslims: "The right wing extremists are the real Crusaders who seek mere bloodshed whereas the mujahidin of the al Qaeda organization seek the establishment of a just socio-political order throughout the globe: the shari'ah. The difference is night and day. Our war with America and the West may appear to some that we are out to kill for the sake of killing since all we do to them is just that. The reason behind it is as we've previously stated because of the crimes these governments have perpetrated on our lands and continue to perpetrate. Had that not been the case, the entire Western world wouldn't be living in fear from an al Qaeda attack."
What Would Obama Do If Muslims Killed His Daughters?
It is interesting to note that while providing religious justification for the killing of women and children, the magazine harshly condemns the killing of Muslim women and children. An article titled "They Killed Father, They Killed Son," on the killing in a U.S. drone attack of Al-Awlaki's son Abdur-Rahmaan Bin Anwar Al-Awlaki, states that the U.S., not Al-Qaeda, is the real terrorist. It says: "One should wonder what Obama will do, what Obama would feel if Muslims kill his daughters... We do not see al Qaeda planes above the U.S. but we see U.S. drones killing women and children of Yemen."
C. Challenging Claims of Al-Qaeda's Demise
The magazine argues that Al-Qaeda has been neither "decimated" nor "devastated" by the U.S. As evidence, it points to two facts: the continued publication of Inspire, despite America's attempts to prevent this, and the continuation of the jihad attacks.
Editor Yahya Ibrahim: "Issue 9 of Inspire Magazine Is Out Against All Odds"
The issue's editorial, by editor Yahya Ibrahim, focuses on the first of these points. It states: "To the disappointment of our enemies, issue 9 of Inspire magazine is out against all odds al-Hamdolilah. The Zionists and the crusaders thought that the magazine was gone with the martyrdom of Shaykh Anwar and brother Samir, may Allah have mercy upon their souls. Yet again, they have failed to come to terms with the fact that the Muslim ummah is the most fertile and most generous mother that gives birth to thousands and thousands of the likes of Shaykh Anwar and brother Samir. They will be displeased to know that we have been inundated with emails and requests by young inspired Muslims who are persistently offering their help, not just intellectually, but with whatever the mujahideen need in the West."
AQAP Mufti Ibrahim Al-Rubaish: "The Long List of the Martyred Mujahideen Hasn't Weaken[ed the] Jihad"
AQAP Mufti Ibrahim Al-Rubaish stresses that, despite the war on the mujahideen, their attacks continue and have even increased: "America wanted to deceive its nation by portraying its war as a war against particular individuals so with death of individuals war will ended. In that way America's administration feel some sort of victory by killing certain individuals. Just like what happened when they killed Shaykh Usama Bin Laden. Those miserable people haven't yet realized that their war is waged against a nation that has principles and fundamentals. These principles gain life in the Muslims' heart when their supporters are martyred for their sake. The clearest of evidence is the long list of the martyred mujahideen that hasn't weaken[ed] jihad. Instead, jihad operations often increase."
Yahya Ibrahim Lists Jihad Attacks in Recent Years
In an article titled "Wining [sic] On the Ground," editor Yahya Ibrahim mocks the West's claims of victory over the mujahideen, and enumerates successful jihad attacks over the recent years: "Obama's wrong thinking have been repeated previously by those who preceded him in office. In the 2003, the U.S. president George W. Bush, in a ridiculous scene of an illusionary victory, was celebrating the end of the military operations in Iraq which was actually the ignition for jihad. Iraq then emerged to be one of the fiercest centers for jihad. The celebrations had no impact on the movement of jihad. However, the media broadcasted the celebrations in a dexterous way and that's how America wins; through baseless claims. On 29th Oct. 2011 the world was engaged in a ceremony just like that of Bush, but this time it was Obama's. The same way Bush was celebrating, unaware of the long tough war. Obama was trying to shorten the fate of the ongoing conflict through a decade in an ambiguous speech."
Giving details on AQAP's ability to produce body bombs, the article continues: "...[L]et us review the year 2009 where a very modest and small laboratory in a rural area prepared a bomb which penetrated all checkpoints and could not be detected by the advanced detecting machines. The first was carried by brother Abul Khayr as he executed a martyrdom operation inside the castle of America's agent, Muhammad bin Naif al-Saud the head of the intelligence wing of the war against the mujahideen. Obama wasn't worried when his servant bin Naif explained to him what happened. Bin Naif travelled to Washington days after he had miraculously survived just to inform his master on the undetectable bomb.
"Later, came the operation of Omar Farouq which required only $5,000. At the time, the mujahideen couldn't provide more than half of the amount. The other half was borrowed from one mujahid's pocket. The operation costed the world over $40,000,000,000. Once more another operation of the air-cargo from the same modest lab. It shocked all the crusade countries and caused economic losses and discomfort to the American cargos in the air.
"Two year after the operation of Abul Khayr, the New York Times reports on the mujahideen's preparations in Yemen and their advanced labs. Especially after A.Q.A.P has obtained a large deal of chemicals from military laboratories after the conquered Zinjibaar and other cities and town in the south of Yemen. Of course, the modest lab has transformed into a modern one. Hence, no wearisome measures are taken anymore to attain the needed large amount of chemicals for explosives. Also, the operations do not lack money as before.
"The account of Allah is always full by His grace. This is what Obama forgot to mention in his fascinating speech at that party. It is an extremely difficult challenge."
Ibrahim goes on to note attacks and attempted attacks by failed Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab, Khost CIA base bomber Abu Dajana Al-Khorsani, and failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, and hints at of future attacks inside the U.S.: "When you talk about security, you tend to talk about money and wealth in the time of need. Unlike Obama, when he speaks of American security, he talks about its deteriorated economy. If anyone was to talk about the assassination of Shaykh Anwar Al Awlaki, his talk will synchronize with the congestion of the streets of New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago with tens of thousands of Americans who criticize the politics of capitalism and banks. All of that is firstly through the favor of Allah and then through the worldwide jihadi operations."
Stating that Al-Qaeda's jihad against America has come full circle, from the pre-9/11 training camps in Afghanistan to Inspire, he notes: "The fact that Shaykh Anwar was martyred after we have reached this level in our jihad by the grace of Allah is considered a victory by itself. Now, our capabilities and skills have developed from being in the military camp of Khaldun in Khowst to be transferred now to Virginia. And the idea that the military camp of al-Farouq has now become portable in a section of our magazine which is easily accessible online. Now, all you need to make explosives is the kitchen of your mum as instructed in the open source jihad."
Ibrahim concludes with a promise of future attacks, to be carried out by homegrown followers of Al-Qaeda: "We congratulate the grave which comprised the remains of these great martyrs. America should know that those remains will ignite a jihadi revolution with a unique style which they can't withhold. By the martyrdom of our leaders, their ideology which they lived calling to, is revived and their followers realize how fruitful that ideology is. They become enthusiastic to join their convoy, the convoy of martyrs By Allah's will...
"We pray that Allah have mercy on Shaykh Anwar and his brothers and resurrect them in the company of the martyrs. May Allah make their blood together with their predecessors among the mujahideen a curse upon America, the West and their allies. May Allah grant success to our brothers in the West and in America particular in retaliating against the crusaders. O Allah, You are the Omnipotent. All praise due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds."
D. Miscellaneous
1. Eulogies, Memoirs and Writings of Anwar Al-Awlaki and Samir Khan
Abu Yazeed On Samir Khan: "The Face of Joy"
Issue IX of Inspire includes an article on Khan penned by Abu Yazeed[4], titled "The Face of Joy," which could constitute an attempt by Yazeed to enshrine Khan in jihadi history. This article includes excerpts from Khan's last will and testament, which was found on the hard drive of his computer after his death.
Yazeed called Khan his "closest friend in Jihad." He told of how when he arrived in Yemen, Khan had helped him acclimate, and had even taught him computer skills: "During his company, he taught me everything he knew about presentation of certain material, special designing for the magazines, how to work in certain visual design programs. He taught me how to use the best from my skills. His generosity was unmatched. He was considered one of the best Muhajreen in AQAP. I ask Allah to gift him with the best of akhira."
Yazeed provided insight into how Samir Khan communicated with AQAP before coming to Yemen: "One of the stories he told me was his. After arriving to Sana', Yemen's capital he was in touch with a brother who by Allah's will had facilitated his connection with the mujahideen. However, after informing the brother that he [had] arrived he was faced with the first test when he lost his phone. He was heartbroken as this was the only mean of communication between him and the mujahideen. Despite that, he never thought about turning back. He was at this point, asking Allah sincerely for a way out.
"After a period of time and when he was making dua'a after the ish'a prayer in one of Sana'a's masajid, someone tapped his shoulder and asked if he was Samir. At this point, he told Samir that he was the brother who was communicating with him. Later, he backed his luggage and was on his way to join the mujahideen. He explained to me how he was in the U.S. under heavy surveillance by the C.I.A but by Allah's will he was able to escape their wicked plots."
Excerpts from Samir Khan's Last Statement
An article in Issue IX, by Abu Yazeed, features excerpts from Samir Khan's last statement, allegedly obtained from Khan's computer:
"In the post-September world, the most honorable of deaths has been looked down upon in the Muslim public as it is now linked with the enemy's charge of terrorism. We must be reminiscent of the fact that the sunnah of Allah never changes, no matter what time one is in. When one thinks more about death, the more he will think about dying in the most noblest of ways since the chances of entering the hell-fire are much less than dying a normal death."
Quoting a Hadith on the rewards awaiting a martyr, Khan wrote: "The Prophet said: 'The shaheed will be granted seven rewards: he will be forgiven of his sins with the first drop of his blood, he will see his place in paradise, he will be saved from the punishment of the grave, he will be saved from the great terror on the day of Judgment, a crown will be placed on his head with jewels that are more beautiful than the earth and everything in it, he will be wedded to 72 from the hoor al-'ayn, and he wil be able to intercede on behalf of 70 members of his family.['] This hadith is graded between Hassan and Saheeh and can be found in Ahmad, Ibn Majah and at-Tirmidhi."
After discussing the rewards for martyrs, Khan goes on to justify Al-Qaeda's collateral killing of Muslims: "In the politics of warfare, when the Muslims are fighting the disbelieving enemies and there are Muslims residing amongst the enemy, this causes unintentional deaths amongst the Muslim population. For instance, the 9/11 operation in New York City killed around 500 Muslims as some reports suggested. Is that the fault of the mujahideen? They were merely targeting the economic infrastructure and symbol of America as they are the ones who use their economists as an advantage to build a global empire where the world becomes subservient to them. So for Muslims to live in America, it is dangerous since America and the Western world are lands of war, giving Muslims the ability to freely attack them in whatever methods they choose."
Abu Yazeed concludes by saying, "This was Samir's Wasiya. Samir who will always be remembered for his euphoric smile that came with his warm greeting. Whenever I would advise the brothers, I would cite examples of Samir. His optimism, kindness, generosity, humility, and bravery were what set him apart from many others. He was a role model for the mujahideen and will forever reside in our hearts as such."
AQAP Mufti Eulogizes Samir Khan
Also in Issue IX is an article by AQAP leader and frequent Inspire contributor AQAP mufti Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Rubaish. He writes: "Many inquiries have been brought forward regarding the fate of Inspire. Some assumed the magazine won't be issued anymore. Mistakenly, a lot consider the magazine to be Shaykh Anwar's. Hence, they thought that the Shaykh is the magazine and vice versa. Accordingly, they assumed that the magazine will be buried along with him. As a matter of fact, Shaykh Anwar was the guest writer and the most active one was brother Samir Khan who exploited all of his energy and effort for this sake. In other words, the Shaykh was the spirit of Inspire where Samir was its tongue. Their martyrdom means that their written work will be transformed into reality because their writing with the ink is replaced now with writing with their blood. And this is what will have a greater impact insha'Allah."
Samir Khan: One Cannot Be a Muslim and a Proud American
An article in Issue VIII by Samir Khan criticizes the Muslim community in the U.S. for largely sacrificing its religion for the sake of a comfortable life there. He claims that a loyal Muslim cannot be "proud of being American," adding that there is nothing about America in which Muslims can take pride. He calls on the American Muslims to emulate members of their community who became mujahideen.
Anwar Al-Awlaki: "Spilling Out the Beans"
An article, apparently authored by Al-Awlaki himself, titled "Spilling Out the Beans: Al-Awlaki revealing his side of the story," gives details of his life. It states, "The FBI is putting out a lot of information about myself, some true, most lies. But they are blacking out some parts of the record."
It continues with details of Al-Awlaki's experiences in the U.S. as a college student and as head of the Muslim Student Association, and of his move to San Diego. He talked about his arrest for soliciting a prostitute, claiming that this was a set-up by the U.S. government, and discussed being in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001:
"September 11 was a Tuesday. By Thursday the FBI were knocking on my door. The questions revolved around the attacks. They visited me again but this time they were asking for cooperation which I made it clear that they shouldn't expect and the third meeting which was the last I had my lawyer attend the meeting. This is what I know about the US from experience and you want to tell me to vote for these people?! For those who believe Obama is the savior. Do you think he can rein in the FBI, CIA and the other alphabet soup of intelligence agencies that have been carrying on with their behind the scenes plots since the day of their inception while presidents come and go? Do you really believe he can reform the US foreign policy that has been consistent on issues that concern us for decades? If Obama tries to go against the tide, the tide will engulf him. JFK was killed on American soil by an American citizen."
Al-Nadari On "My Story With Al-Awlaki" On 9/11 and Drone Attacks
In an article titled "My Story with Al-Awlaki," in Issue IX, Sheikh Harith Al-Nadari, who is also identified as Muhammad Al-Murshidi, discusses books, authored by Sayyed Al-Qutb and others, that inspired Al-Awlaki in his youth.
Al-Nadari describes a conversation he had with Anwar Al-Awlaki about 9/11: "I remember that I had a dialogue with him at that time about it. I mention here what I remember from his words: 'These events have already took place and the United States has already identified its enemies. Aggression against the Muslims have occurred and the legitimate duty now is to look at the Islamic ruling today. Disbelievers occupied Muslim lands, they are killing Muslim masses and their leading personalities, they hunt and displace Muslims and their families, they captures the mujahideen, the preachers and the scholars, they freezing funds of the traders and people of wealth of the Muslims. This is what is happening today so what is the Islamic ruling on it? The Islamic ruling which is not disputed by anyone of the Muslims is the need of Jihad in the way of the Almighty Allah and this ruling isn't agreed upon weather the mujahideen did the right thing in targeting America or made a mistake. The matter of the Muslims affairs today should be in working not in debating. Working to fulfill the legitimate duty of jihad and defending Muslims against the people of injustice and godlessness and repelling the infidels' fierce war against the Messenger of Allah."
Al-Nadari also relates Al-Awlaki's description of a drone attack against him: "He said: 'While we were traveling on the way, we felt the wave of explosion near the car that shattered the windows. We even saw a flash of light, so we thought that we were ambushed and under fire. We thought a rocket was fired on us. I said to the brother who was driving to speed up to pass the danger zone and I quickly inspected the brothers and I saw nobody was hurt. I thanked Allah for their safety but I wondered how we were affected with such a strong wave which actually broke the glass and shaped a smoky cloud around us. No harm has befallen us, even though we were carrying barrels of gasoline. All this happenings increased my certainty that no human being will die until they completed their livelihood and appointed time.'
"He said to me: 'We tried to find the cause of this explosion and when we looked up, we saw the flying of U.S. drones. I asked the brother who was driving not to pass near the houses in order to preserve the lives of the Muslims. The brother then turned into a valley with few trees in it. We came out of the car and went into different directions. The aircrafts drones continued to fly over our heads and then targeted our car which exploded. Air strikes continued in the different areas, but I was directed by one of the brothers to one of the numerous cliffs in a mountains. I slept the rest of the night until the morning dawn, I prayed Fajr and then the brothers brought me to you.'"
2. News Flash on American Lone-Wolf Jihadi
A "News Flash" section includes details about lone-wolf jihadi Naser Jason Abdo, a Muslim in the U.S. Army who refused orders to deploy to Afghanistan. He was arrested in July 2011 for planning an attack on Fort Hood military personnel, similar to the shooting by Major Nidal Hasan. He was found in possession of an article from Inspire titled "How to Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom," which he used to make the bombs he planned to use in his attack. The article wrote of Abdo as "[t]he Mujahid hero from America, Nasir Abdo, may Allah free him, [who] intended to pull off a Fort Hood incident similar to that of Nidal Hasan. Nasir converted to Islam while in the Army and had previously expressed his anger with invading a Muslim country."
3. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to Readers: "How to Communicate With Us" Securely Via Gmail, Yahoo, and Fast Mail
As in previous issues, Issues VIII and IX offer readers encryption codes for directly contacting the magazine. They also notify readers, in several places, that the magazine has changed its public encryption code.[5]
4. Help Wanted
Additionally, issue VIII calls on readers in the West for help, saying that they are looking for:
· "People who can preserve permanent Internet links for all of the magazine issues
· "Sisters who can write on women-related issues
· "Persons who can help the Inspire team with research & translation."
Appendix: Lone Wolf Jihadis Arrested in the West and in Possession of Inspire
A growing number of lone-wolf jihadis, inspired by Al-Awlaki and Khan and their da'wa for jihad, have been arrested throughout the West. The ones who have been linked with Inspire include:
1. Jose Pimentel, arrested November 19, 2011. A Manhattan resident, Pimentel planned to target U.S. servicemen, post offices, and police. He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, conspiracy, and soliciting or providing support for an act of terrorism. Pimentel was influenced by Inspire.
2. Naser Jason Abdo, a Muslim U.S. in the Army, arrested in July 2011. Abdo was planning an attack on Fort Hood military personnel, similar to the shooting by Major Nidal Hasan. He was found in possession of an article from Inspire titled "How to Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom," which he used to make the bombs he planned to use in his attack.
3. Nine suspects in the U.K.: British officials conducted coordinated raids in three separate cities after concluding that the suspects were "researching, discussing, carrying out reconnaissance, and agreeing on potential targets," and "igniting and testing incendiary material"; one target was the U.S. Embassy in London. The fact many of the suspects were Bangladeshi who are likely more familiar with English than Arabic were using Inspire is "proof that the magazine works," according to a terrorism specialist at the University of Geneva.
4. Hakan Ertarkan, arrested April 12, 2011. Ertakan, 21, from the Edmonton neighborhood of London, was found to be in possession of a CD issue of Inspire. He was charged with "possessing a record of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism."
5. Christian Emde and Robert Baum, arrested July 15, 2011. German citizens Emde, 28, and Baum, 24, were arrested when they tried to enter Britain in possession of electronic copes of Inspire. Emde was jailed for 16 months, and Baum for 12, as part of their punishment for violating the Terrorism Act.
6. Zahid Iqbal, Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, Umar Arshad, and Syed Farhan Hussain, arrested in Britain on April 24, 2012. The four, all aged 21 to 30, are suspected of plotting to drive a toy car loaded with explosives under the gates of a military base. Iqbal is accused of leading a terror network under the instruction of Al-Qaeda masterminds in Pakistan; all are accused of working to recruit others, of taking their lead from Inspire, and of possessing copies of it.[6]

Why are we calling Islamofascists "AQAP" now?
Just another example of why Islam is a gutter religion and why Muslims are all swine and why we are INSANE for allowing these maniacal murdering misfits into America to build mosques, madrassehs, convert Americans and promote Sharia.
It stands for Al Qaeda (in the) Arabian Peninsula.
It stands for Al Qaeda (in the) Arabian Peninsula.
UBL was opposed to "Lone Wolf" attacks because he always wanted something more grand than what he had done before.
Problem with large scale attacks, they take longer to plan and to make preparations for and involve more people, thus they are more likely to be stopped before they are completed.
We've seen it happen over and over and over again since 9/11. The attack is stopped before it can be completed.
With UBL dead they are now free to carry out the "Lone Wolf" attacks.
In the words of UBL to Mullaha Omar "the news is 90% of the preparation for battle".
If you have a large scale attack you have to orchestrate the news for the attack, and it can take months of orchestrated news stories.
For a small scale "Lone Wolf" attack, you can carry out the attack based on what is in the news for just a couple of days because no coordinated timing is necessary.
Yea, what a coincidence.

text: 1.8T BEX 190 I'm having a problem with sludge in the vacuum system. Already cleaned pipes and replaced PRV & crankcase breather valve 2 weeks ago but sludge has come back - this time it seems to be thinner (more watered down) than last time and if I were honest it looks like what you would expect when coolant and oil mix (slightly off colour mayo) . . . . No signs of this in the coolant tank or on oil cap/dipstick though. I do however when idling for a minute and car is up to temp get a thick white smoke from the exhaust. The air box is making a deep farting noise at the moment as well!? Not sure if this is just at idle or when driving as well. Its almost as if the sludge is being sucked round the PCV system to TIP, though turbo and burnt by engine then obviously exiting through the exhaust hence smoke?! Just had full service 4 weeks ago and oil is down to min already so burning more than usual. I can't see this being the head gasket at the moment but I could be wrong! Has anyone got an idea where I should start?

text: Josh Hayes Wins Road America in Survival Mode Larry Lawrence | June 1, 2014 Photography by Larry LawrenceJosh Hayes was the center of one of most subdued podiums in the history of AMA Superbike racing. In a controversial move, the race was stopped for rain, then restarted and declared a wet race. The track was mostly dry at that point and most riders ran slicks. Then the clouds opened up again and since the race was declared wet it wasn't going to be stopped. Instead it continued at a snail's pace and Josh Hayes held on to win by 19.9 seconds over ADR Motorsports Suzuki's David Anthony, who scored his first podium. Roger Hayden took third on the Yoshimura Suzuki, 20.237 behind Hayes.There was a major tightening of the championship chase. Cameron Beaubier, coming off a victory yesterday, crashed prior to the red flag and again after the race was restarted. He was credited with 13th and as a result is tied with Hayden atop the standings. Hayes, with the victory, moves to within five points of the series leader.Chris Clark (Yoshimura Suzuki) and Chris Fillmore (HMC Racing KTM) rounded out the top five.There were no smiles on Hayes' face after the victory."It was not a happy podium," Hayes said. "For my team I'm happy with the results, but in retrospect I'm not happy with my decision to finish the race. You're in the heat of competition with your team wanting you to do well, but after it started pouring rain I should have just pulled in and damn the results. I should have been thinking about my fellow riders."It was ditto for the other podium finisher. Anthony showed no joy in his first podium and Hayden, in spite of now sharing the series lead, was critical of the official's decision not to stop the rain when the downpour began.Tomorrow the sun will rise and we will have a close and competitive AMA Superbike Championship, but on this day the series was under a dark cloud both literally and figuratively.AMA Superbike results from Road America – June 1, 2014 1 4 Josh Hayes Monster Energy Graves Yamaha Yamaha R1 12 Laps 2 25 David Anthony ADR Motorsports, Sic, Motul Fly Racin Suzuki GSX-R1000 19.905 3 95 Roger Hayden Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000 20.237 4 6 Chris Clark Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000 23.973 5 11 Chris Fillmore KTM/HMC Racing KTM RC8R 24.782 6 72 Larry Pegram Foremost Insurance/Pegram Racing EBR 1190RS 26.231 7 36 Martin Cardenas Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000 29.313 8 76 Bernat Martinez Proto-Tech Spain Yamaha R1 38.420 9 17 Trent Gibson Seven Sports Kawasaki ZX-10 2:25.348 10 67 Francois Dumas Dumas Superbike Team BMW S1000RR 3:25.210Larry Lawrence | Archives EditorIn addition to writing our Archives section on a weekly basis, Lawrence is another who is capable of covering any event we throw his way.

What means the expression "slave" in accordance to flashes?
I am getting into amateur photography and I am just learning about external flashes for my Digital Camera. Now I already found out what the difference btw an strobe and a bounce flash is (not quite but i have an idea) and now they are talking about slave flashes or something. I'm lost! Can someone help me with my question and has an answer to it?
I appreciate all serious answers. Thank you
A slave flash goes off to add to the main flash. It has a light sensor or a radio receiver (if you have high-end flash units) which sense when the main flash is triggered.
You can buy add-on slave sensors to add to extra flash units to convert any automatic flash unit to a slave.
Bounce flash is just a technique where you press a button on your flash which lets it pivot so you can point it at the ceiling (or sometimes a wall) and bounce the light onto your subject instead of the flash being pointed right at your subject.
What is an Optical Slave and Sync Plug Socket?
I'm looking into purchasing a flash for my Nikon D80. I'm an amateur so I don't need something extremely fancy. The flash I found has great reviews but the biggest complaint is it doesn't have an "Optical Slave." My question is, what is that? Also, what is a sync plug socket? It had a complaint that that feature was not available either. Thank you.
An optical slave is a trigger for the flash from another flash. If you have a slave flash, it fires when another flash fires simultaneously. If the flash doesn't have an slave option, you can buy a module that the camera fits into to fire it. A sync plug socket is a socket that takes a cord which would hook up to the camera somehow, on the D80 it would be via hotshoe adapter (I have a D80). When the camera takes a picture, it tells the hotshoe to flash and with that adapter, essentially tells the flash to fire as well. Not to worry, its not the end of the world. I have several flash units. There are ways around everything. I have hot shoe adapters, sync cords, a wireless unit, optical slave sensors, pretty much everything. The goal in all of it is to have a small totally portable kit so I can fire 2 or 3 flashes at a time without having to plug anything in. So buy stock in Energizer or another battery company. The most important thing is that the flash meters thru the camera lens (TTL). Not even all Nikon flashes do that. I would recommend if you're going to get a flash unit, get something good and get in once. Definitely get something dedicated to Nikon. If you get something like a Nikon SB-600, you'll have it forever. You can add slaves or whatever else later if you need them.
Do men ever get to marry amateur gourmet chefs?
Do men ever get to marry women who are amazing at cooking.Those who can make BBQ brisket, cocktail, any type of meat, sandwiches/paninis, steaks, fish/chicken dishes and desserts such as creme brulee/tiramisu/cheesecake/chocolate mousse. The type of person whomakesfresh jams, cream cheeses and breads.
I think women get these type of men more often. Even if the man is the breadwinner he cooks.
BUT if you look at all food blogs 95% of the owners and responders and one posting recipes and pictures are women not men.
How does this match up?
Even women agree with me
"im married to a chef and youre right. it is usually women who find these type of men."
Are more men cooking these days?
Are women sitting around drinking while men slave away in the kitchen?
"My brother is an amateur gourmet cook who married a woman who burns toast and a girlfriend of mine lived exclusively on tomato and mayonnaise sandwiches before I moved in. Anecdotal evidence suggests that your observation is correct."
My husband is a pastry chef, he's been trained in all aspects of the kitchen and he is awesome. I make toast and cereal, that's about it. I think men are definitely cooking more today and what's nice is, most of them are actually quite good at it!
Is there any proof (other than the bible) that anicent Jews were ever slaves of ancient Egyptians?
I'm a research hobbist and I was delving through ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and history and found no record that Egyptains ever kept Jewish slaves. Now, i'm just an amateur historian here so maybe i'm speaking too soon but this totally rocked my way of thinking. I always just assumed the bible and folklore about this were based on actual events. Does anyone know of any historical documents (other than the Bible and other regelious texts) that says Egyptians kept Jewish slaves?
When the Jewish people first immigrated to Egypt, there was a nothern tribe called the Hyksos that had conquered Egypt earlier and set up a dynasty there. The Egyptians in time revolted and threw these kings out. The Jews, probably considered collaborators with this tribe were treated accordingly. That said, the Jewish history at this time is sparce and quite speculative.
Check this out which varifies the Hyksos connection to the Jews:

Amateur poem would you read this please? ?
To 0007 Bogart man.
He gave me a name one that I did not deserve, he worked it so well everone did serve, he sent all his disciples to a slave they be. They said the killer was I. He worked with movies and he did it with quotes. He said prawns but they were his pawns to me. Nobody is safe from the kaczmanmarsky.
Therefore, he sent a private investigator to be. To the people, he said and it is my right, as he fill is himself with drink for his lonely night as he sends another seagull to flight.
In the dragons lair she hides from him and the one who knows the origins of gin, they taunt her they tease her, the bruises will never leave her, and in the pool, she will swim.
This is one thing we must all learn, that learn that gossip will kill when justice is not served.
"Please do not ignore the judicial system".
some deep meaning in those words. i wounder how many will understand them
Question about flashes for Nikon?
I am considering buying a CHEAP flash unit. I have seen a dedicated TTL type for my D40, but found a slave unit for around $20.00 USD. My question is which would serve ne better? I am a very novice amateur. Thanks for the advice
Beware of putting old (pre-digital) flashes on your camera. Some have very high trigger voltages....up to 300v. Your camera can only take around 10v and you can permanently damage it.
I know you don't intend to use it on your D40 but if it's in your bag.....
Which flash unit and slaves would be suitable for the Canon EOS Rebel XT digital camera?
I suppose there has to be some compatibility between those elements
but have no idea which products would fulfill that requirement.
Since I am not a professional photographer but I do not consider myself an amateur either, I need something not too expensive but of some quality. Any ideas, suggestions, comments?
Want to see what I do? go to www.flickr.com/photos/valcarcel
You might consider a Metz mecablitz 48 AF-1 dedicated flash, these are fully compatible with your Canon (you have to get the Canon version) and will operate on the camera or using the pop up flash on your camera as a master they will operate as a remote flash, all with full E-TTL metering.
The big advantage with these Metz flashguns is their ability to update their operating system via a USB link to your computer, to make use of any future changes Canon may introduce. (there have already been 2 since the flashguns introduction).
Here is a link to my favorite UK supplier listing this flash (usual disclaimer)
300 wild solders never couldnt hurt iranian.is it real?
i am iranian and saw a little the "300" movie .
i think it is a big historical lie. iran has a ancient culture and iranian in many century ago didnt attack to another country .what a bout usa ? i think many countries like iraq,afghanistan,vietnam,japan,...
i think the director of this movie isnt that amateur director .i think they are the new rightist and zionism .
iranian dont have slave at all in the history. iranian had written first man rights declaration.iranian king paid money to worker who had built persepolis and didnt have a slave for that.
and i suggest to usurper country that you will see some thing else in the real if you would attack to iran .
you wont be win even by 300 millions solders

Why are sports fans supporting slavery by watching NCAA games?
You really should put the numbers down on paper and compare what coaches, the networks, and shoe companies make to the actual players on the field/court in college. I don't care if you say the players get a free education, most of them could care less and would not have gone to college if they had the choice. Mind you, I don't say all, I say quite a few. Their number one job on campus is sports. If they don't perform, their scholarship is taken away, so it's quite clear what their number one focus is supposed to be.
So even if they get $40-60K in free education and housing, which many could care less about, over 4 years, they make $10-15K a year, which they don't get to enjoy in their pockets, while the NCAA, their coaches, apparel companies, the networks, make millions, even billions off of them. If college football and basketball didn't have Jimmy Clausens, Tebows, Reggie Bush's, Sam Bradfords, John Walls and other future pro athletes playing, do you think anyone would watch? Why is it fair for the NCAA to make billions off these athletes in what is supposed to be an amateur league?
This is slavery. Put the numbers down on paper. Slave masters paid for housing and food too, remember that. I can't understand how people can justify the actions of the NCAA. Their propaganda suckers the viewers by saying, "they get a free education." Sure, they get a free education, which they have to use to find a job, but there are a lot of people, who aren't running up and down the court, that are making millions that will secure their family's futures for years and afford them a life of luxury.
Why is it then, that people howl that when players like Reggie Bush take bribes, it harms the integrity of the games? If you ask me, the athletes are the fall guys for the real crooks, mainly because they are more visible entities.
And if anyone raises the argument about "what the other players on other teams at the college would get paid," maybe it's time you ask yourself why such big money events like men's basketball and football are even associated with universities, instead of having established, separate minor league networks? That would be the fair thing to do.
Your whole story is disproved by a simple one line answer. You cannot be called a slave if you are doing what you love to do.
Photographic equipment required for night time photography of wildlife e.g. nocturnals such as bats?
I am the new owner of a Canon EOS 350D digital slr and a) wanted to know what equipment (preferably make and model numbers maybe indication of price) for the extra equipment I require to photograph bats at night. I am told a flash gun (with slave attachment???) and an infra red trigger? transmitter? I am an amateur and not sure how these things hang together!? Also, I am being quoted silly prices I think. Jessops quoted me £99 for their own brand flash and £249 for a Canon flash? Yet I see Canon "compatible" flash guns on E-Bay for £29.99 ~ I really could use some good advice here so I don't purchase the wrong kit!! Help!!
"Canon "compatible" flash guns on E-Bay for £29.99".
Of course you will not be using one of those! It will likely blow up an EOS camera. Additionally, it will almost certainly NOT have enough power for your application even if it does somehow function without zapping your precious camera.
For best flexibility and compatibility I would opt for the OEM flash if you plan to do much on-camera hotshoe flash work. Less hassle in the long wrong. They are £249 for a reason.

Jimmy Fallon And Rashida Jones Debut Their Holiday Pop Medley [VIDEO]
Jimmy Fallon and Parks and Recreation star, Rashida Jones have decided to put their take on a medley.Medleys have quickly become my favorite pieces of music. It's like listening to multiple songs at one time. This time,
Most of these songs are just a whole bunch of songs mixed together. This one is that, but also parodies of the songs. It's really unlike anything I've heard before.
They altered the lyrics to hit songs by Rihanna, One Direction, Carly Rae Jepsen, and more! Most of the songs were ones that are have gone viral or are really popular.
All of the songs are more pleasant to listen to thanks to the parodies. Now I challenge you to listen to the original versions without singing the parody!
Check out the video above and then let us know what you think in the comments below!

I have never attended a single hospital board meeting for the same reason that I have never attended a legislative meeting at the State Capitol — I have an official who was elected so I won't need to.
My opinions about the hospital's 501c3 potential issues are derived from newspaper editorials and articles, letters to the editor, 501c3 blogs, talking to past and present board members and lastly, I have read the "proposed" organizational documents for the 501c3 dated 10/10/11 (Articles of Inc, Bylaws, Lease and Agreement).
For your reference, the following points the way to the some of the areas of concern (org. docs relate to 10/10/11):
Board authority – Bylaws, Sec. 1.1 thru 1.2: Draw a flow chart, add the variables from 1.2. — Is there a potential for the dilution of your specific district area's voting strength? 1.2 — The terms "inurement" and "private benefit." Could these terms apply here? 1.2 — 501c3 blog site: "being credentialed does not mean competent." "directors must have business and organizational competency, share the vision mission, know good business practices, be long game strategic thinkers, willing to give their time/money, people of integrity and have a balance of these qualities w/i its board membership." No mention that up to 49 percent of members should be from a related field. Pay is not a part of the process — Articles of Inc, Art. III: "reasonable compensation" — Reasonable compensation is fine and perhaps routine. Mr. Esse mentioned there is no pay but there is an open door for compensation.
Hospitals sold – www.marshallindependent.com, search "hospital:" Marshall Hospital sold in 2009 for $38.5M. District essentially co-signing for 501c3 – Lease and Agreement, Art.17.10 Representations and Covenants of District, Future Financings: "In order to undertake and complete any such future improvements, New River must secure adequate and affordable long-term financing. District has, pursuant to the authority vested in it under applicable law, the ability to issue bonds for this purpose. Upon the request of New River, District agrees to consider use of its authority to issue such bonds…etc."
What does it mean to you when the District is asked to sign a document saying we will "consider" bonding? How often would any of us say no to additional bonding when our lives might depend on it? Our tax dollars are viewed as a resource (that's normal) but, isn't that a bit like co-signing? I simply want people to be aware of this relationship and really, it is all right to have this as a consideration (even if it wasn't in writing the commitment would exist in our psyche) but it is wrong to believe the potential doesn't exist or that such a request will never be made. Which is my primary reason for all of the discussion as to the makeup of the board. Serious business and serious money.
The composition of the 501c3's board of directors and the strength of their oversight is critical to the hospital's success, our health care, and our community's pocket book. — Carolyn Fowler, Big Lake

Elementis PLC
22 September 2006
Elementis today announces the appointment of Bob Beeston as its new Chairman.
The appointment is effective immediately. Edward Bramson steps down as Chairman
and will remain on the board as a Non-executive Director. The Board also intends
to appoint a Chief Executive in the near future.
Bob Beeston, 64, has been Non-executive Chairman of Cookson Group plc, the
international materials science company, since April 2003. He is also the Senior
Independent Director and Chairman of the Remuneration Committee of D S Smith
plc, the international packaging and office products group, where he has been a
Non-executive Director since December 2000.
Since his appointment as Chairman Cookson has been transformed. A new executive
team was appointed, including a new Chief Executive and Finance Director, the
group's strategy was re-focussed and business operations substantially improved.
The company's financial standing has been restored and Cookson returned to the
dividend list earlier this year.
From 1992 until 2002, he was Chief Executive Officer of FKI plc, the
international engineering group. During his tenure at FKI, the business was
successfully restructured into four divisions each commanding a leading position
in their global markets, and produced an impressive record of strong cash flow
and dividend growth.
From 1960 he spent 18 years with Dowty Group before joining John Brown Plastics
Machinery (UK) Ltd as Managing Director in 1978. In 1985, he was appointed
Managing Director of BTR Valve Group, a position he held for six years before
joining FKI plc.
Edward Bramson said: 'Bob brings a wealth of experience both as a successful
business leader and as Board Chairman and I am delighted that he has accepted
the position'.
The Company confirms that that there are no other matters requiring disclosure
in relation to listing rule 9.6.13.

Even on the good days such as Tuesday, Josh Hamilton will still think about the very bad ones. About the horrid depths he reached after falling from the pedestal as the then-Devil Rays' prized prospect, how drug use and repeated abuse imperiled his career and even his life, how close he came to never making it back on the baseball field at all.
But he found his faith and, with the Rays' help, his way, then eventually he refound the course that had been plotted and the person he was supposed to be: Playing in the big leagues, being an All-Star, leading his team to the World Series.
And Tuesday, winning an American League Most Valuable Player award.
"I would say there's a 99 percent chance that this would never happen. I mean, honestly, I think a lot of people would agree with that," Hamilton said on a conference call. "But it was a 100 percent chance this would never happen if I tried to do it on my own. And I think that's the most important thing I want to get across, is that I couldn't do it on my own. God made it all possible."
Hamilton's performance on the field — a major-league-best .369 average, 32 homers and 100 RBIs — turned the vote into not much of a race as he overcame the one negative of missing most of the final month due to injury.
Hamilton received 22 of 28 first-place votes, finishing comfortably ahead of Detroit's Miguel Cabrera, who received five, and New York's Robinson Cano. Toronto's Jose Bautista got the other first-place vote and finished fourth.
The Rays had three players in the top 12: third baseman Evan Longoria sixth (the highest finish by a Ray; Ben Zobrist was eighth in 2009); free agent outfielder Carl Crawford seventh (including a second-place vote, highest for any Ray, from Jim Ingraham of the Cleveland-area Times Herald); and free agent closer Rafael Soriano 12th (highest of any pitcher on the ballot).
Hamilton was expected to be a star for the Rays when they made him the first overall pick of the 1999 draft (with Crawford going in the second round). Early he was slowed by a series of injuries, then sidelined nearly four full years primarily due to drug-related suspensions.
The Rays got him back on the field briefly in June 2006 but made a mistake in losing him via the Rule 5 draft to the Reds, who made their own by trading him a season later to the Rangers, for whom Hamilton has since starred.
Hamilton said he holds on to the past not only to remind himself of where he came from but to maintain his priority on his faith.
"I think I'd lose sight of things if I didn't reflect," he said. " 'I' might start sneaking in there, a little ego might start sneaking in there, and that's one thing I don't want to happen. So I do reflect and think about where I was at my lowest time and how God brought me through that and sustained me since I started depending on him."
When Hamilton was asked during the season about winning the MVP, he said he'd trade it for the chance to get to the playoffs and win. Having gotten to do both — ousting the Rays and the Yankees (winning ALCS MVP honors) in leading the Rangers to their first World Series — then Tuesday getting what he called "an absolutely great honor" turned out pretty well.
"It's just awesome to think about where I am at this moment," he said, "and where I was."
