At the present time I live and work in the USA and would like to know is it haraam to have my non-Muslim relitives live with me. She is my maternal anunt. She is a Christain and I have giving her du'wah but some older people can be set in their ways. Hence, what is the evidence from the Qur'aan and the Sunnah on live here with them. What if any do the scholars of this ummah say regarding this topic facing us particulaly in the USA and Britain or other non-Muslim land and we are a minority in our resisdentcy. May Allah reward you and help us to except the truth.
It is permissible for you to let your aunt stay with you so that you can call her to Islam and encourage her with wisdom and beautiful preaching, If she sees you and your good attitude and kind treatment, that may be a means of opening her heart to this great religion. Attitude and actions may often be more eloquent than words and preaching. So strive hard to do that, and if Allaah guides her at your hands, that will be better for you than this world and everything in it.
You should equip yourself with patience and forbearance, and respond to bad with good, and to mistakes with forgiveness, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allaah orders the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly) then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend"
[Fussilat 41:34]
One of the indications that it is permissible to let a kaafir stay among the Muslims, so that he may see their attitude and come to know their religion, is that which is narrated concerning the story of Thumaamah ibn Uthaal, who was tied up in the mosque for three days after the Muslims took him prisoner. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) pardoned him and he became Muslim. The story is narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari (4372) and Saheeh Muslim (1764).
The aunt also has kinship rights because she is a close relative, even if she is a kaafir. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The maternal aunt is like the mother." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2700.
Al-Tirmidhi (3975) narrated from 'Umar that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allaah, I have committed a grievous sin; can I repent?' He said: "Do you have a mother?" He said, "No." He said: "Do you have a maternal aunt?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then honour her." Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to Asma': "Uphold the times of kinship with your mother." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2620; Muslim, 1003. And her mother was a kaafir.
There are two basic conditions for a person to stay in a non-Muslim country, as stated by the scholars. Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
1 – He should be certain that he is able to remain strongly committed to his religion, as he has enough knowledge, faith and determination to remain steadfast in his religious commitment and to avoid deviation and misguidance. He should bear enmity towards the kuffaar in his heart and avoid taking them as friends and liking them, because doing so is contrary to faith. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"You (O Muhammad) will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad), even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred (people"
[al-Mujaadilah 58:22]
"O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa' (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa' of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa'), then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).
52. And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they hurry to their friendship, saying: "We fear lest some misfortune of a disaster may befall us." Perhaps Allaah may bring a victory or a decision according to His Will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves"
[al-Maa'idah 5:51, 52]
And it is proven in al-Saheehayn that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "A man will be with those whom he loves." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6168; Muslim, 2641.
Loving the enemies of Allaah is one of the most serious dangers that a Muslim faces, because loving them implies that one agrees with them and follows them, or at the very least that he is not denouncing them.
2 – The second condition is that he should be able to practise his religion openly, in the sense that he can establish the rituals and symbols of Islam with no impediment, so he is not prevented from establishing regular prayer, and praying Jumu'ah and offering prayers in congregation if there are others with him who can pray in congregation and establish Jumu'ah; and he should not be prevented from paying zakaah, fasting, performing Hajj and doing all the other rituals of Islam. If he is not able to do that, then it is not permissible for him to stay there and he must migrate in that case.
End quote from Sharh al-Usool al-Thalaathah by Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him), in Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 6/132
Whoever cannot meet these two conditions must migrate to a Muslim land if he is able to do so. If he is unable to migrate, then he is excused, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Verily, as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on the earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allaah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell — what an evil destination!
98. Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way.
99. These are they whom Allaah is likely to forgive them, and Allaah is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving"[al-Nisa' 4:97-99]
See al-Mughni by Ibn Qudaamah, 8/457
See also question no, 22309.
And Allaah knows best.

NEW YORK — There was a heavy onset of Daylight Savings Time last weekend. On Saturday, TV anchorfolks warned New York that Daylight Savings Time was imminent.
Ignoring them, I started searching the radio dial for Jerry Lee Lewis or the Big Bopper, only to come up with a doctor who was saying something medical and uninteresting about Daylight Savings Time.

What's Needed on an Application Form for Tenants?
Share on
If you are responsible for choosing tenants for a rental property either as part of your work or for your own investment property, it's a good idea to have an application form ready for potential tenants to fill in. One or two pages is usually enough, but there are several pieces of information which are particularly important to include. Try to ask for all or most of the following on your tenant application form:
- All the basic details – name, date of birth, current address and telephone number.
- Current workplace and how long they have worked there, plus the name and contact details for a workplace referee.
- Salary details and, if applicable, information on other income that the tenant receives.
- How long they have lived at their current address, and the contact details for their current landlord if applicable; if not, details of a previous landlord are also useful to have.
- Information about whether the potential tenants have children or pets.
It is important to conduct the tenancy application procedure fairly, and by giving each potential tenant the same application form to fill in, you can easily show that you are asking everybody for the same information – that's much easier to do in a tenancy application form than by interviewing them or just having a chat.

History of the Universe eBook. 398 pages, 300 illustrations only $2.99
APPERT, BENJAMIN NICOLAS MARIE (1797-1847), French philanthropist, was born in Paris on the 10th of September 1797. While a young man he introduced a system of mutual instruction into the regimental schools of the department of the Nord. The success which it obtained induced him to publish a Manual setting forth his system. While engaged in teaching prisoners at Montaigu, he fell under the suspicion of having connived at the escape of two of them, and was thrown into the prison of La Force. On his release he resolved to devote the rest of his life to bettering the condition of those whose lot he had for a time shared, and he travelled much over Europe for the purpose of studying the various systems of prison discipline, and wrote several books on the subject. After the revolution of 1830 he became secretary to Queen Marie Amélie, and organized the measures taken for the relief of the needy. He was decorated with the Legion of Honour in 1833.
His brother, François Appert (d. 1840), was the inventor of the method of preserving food by enclosing it in hermetically sealed tins; he left a work entitled Art de conserver les substances animales et végétables.

Survivor Round Table: The Craziest Episode EverLuke Dwyer at . Comments
After one of the craziest episodes in the history of Survivor, our writers couldn't wait to tackle this week's round table questions.
Has the momentum flipped from Boston Rob to Russell?
Kakdaddy: I don't think so. Russell still only has 3 members of his tiny alliance and Rob has 5. Even if the Dragonslayer flips after Russell's speech its only 4-4. Russell pulled off one of the biggest miracles ever. The odds must have been like 0.0000001 that Tyson would change his vote because he had no reason to do it, but somehow it worked. Russell absolutely has life all of a sudden, but not momentum yet. One more vote and that would be the case.
Lady Gaga: Very impressive moves by both BR and Russell to compensate for what they thought the other was doing. You could see how absolutely furious BR was that someone did not stick to the plan and Tyson paid for his mistake. However the wrath of BR will prevail and unless Russell finds another idol, he is gone at the next Villains tribal council.
Mr. Probst: Round 1 of this heavy weight bout went to Russell and for the Villains hero, I think the timing couldn't be worse. With twelve players left, I'm smelling a merge and that will allow Russell and his band of three to bring the Heroes over to his side and outnumber Boston Rob's five.
Did the Heroes finally make a good decision?
Kakdaddy: Yes. I still want to bludgeon Amanda, but yes they finally did.
Lady Gaga: I guess, but if they were going to get rid of James because of his leg, shouldn't they have done it last episode and kept Tom? I think it's too little, too late. Even voting for annoying Rupert would have been a better decision.Mr. Probst: Again, NO! If there's a merge like I'm predicting, you'd rather have the guy who can't win challenges around. If there isn't a merge, James was still more impressive in the previous challenge than Colby and Rupert. Don't underestimate the power of one's spirit in this game. Colby is still down and out and will hurt the Heroes tribe.
Who's a bigger threat – Russell or Parvati?
Kakdaddy: My god that is an amazing question. I for the life of me don't actually know. I'll say its Parvati only because Russell is up there in everyone's face and usually takes a lot of the heat as a result making Parvati the bigger long-term threat. She also (as they won't stop blabbering on and on about in tribal council) has people she knows on the other tribe that she might be able to bring over if she and Russell survive until the merge. She is Russell's Natalie this season and look who ended up winning the first time.
However, Russell ALWAYS comes up with a plan for every situation. Its what makes then such an impressive team. If they had the numbers they would be unstoppable.
Lady Gaga: Russell, he is at least smart, analytical and aware of what the others are doing. The rest of the Villains see right through Parvati and her skimpy bathing suit.
Mr. Probst: While everyone seems to know what Parvati is doing - this now her third season of doing it - they all seem powerless to stop her. Perhaps more importantly, she's hiding behind Russell's shadow, so he'll take the ax before she does. You do not want to let this girl get far.
What's your take on banana etiquette: out of date custom or valued tradition?
Kakdaddy: While it is nice to offer if you get up I have to agree with James. If you're hungry go get your ass a banana.
Lady Gaga: Valued tradition. I can't imagine what our society would be like without this tried and true custom.
Mr. Probst: Our British forefathers left us many great customs - knife on the right, stand when a woman leaves the table, puffy pants - but asking if your tribe mates want a banana when you do is silly. I felt like I was watching the glass of water scene in White Men Can't Jump.
Scarier drunk: James or Tyson?
Kakdaddy: James - the much scarier person in real life.
Lady Gaga: James because of the lack of body control. Can you imagine trying to support him when he can no longer stand or drag him out of a bar? Tyson can at least be carried anywhere like a road bike. However, Tyson would win the creepy award - bar predator for sure.
Mr. Probst: Although James has increased his scariness by ten this season, I feel like he's a jovial drunk. Just kind of sits there and laughs. Tyson, on the other hand, is probably ten times creepier when drunk and he's already a really creepy person.

Minter: Welcome To Era Of Disposable Cars
By Rick Minter | Senior Writer
It's been interesting to observe the way crashes are handled in NASCAR garage these days. The cars themselves have become almost expendable in the interest of excitement. More later on the drivers aboard them.
Before a car wrecked in practice or qualifying is ever dragged all the way into the garage area, a back-up car, good or better than new, is being rolled off the upper deck of a hauler.
The wrecked car is usually placed off in some corner of the garage, put up on jack stands and covered with a tarp as soon as some key parts are removed for safe storage.
Most times, neither driver nor crew chief seem terribly upset.
In a race, a perfectly good race car, the product of countless hours of preparation by skilled craftsmen, is sometimes looked upon as something too be used like a set of tires.
Sometimes a wreck does lead to a good bit of grumbling, particularly if the driver is one of those who came into the sport short on experience but packing a big sponsor. Crew members complain that those drivers are usually on the family plane, halfway home, before the wrecked car is loaded for the trip back to the shop.
It's another situation, like many in auto racing, where young drivers can learn from Mark Martin.
Here's how Martin explained his philosophy on tearing up his own cars and those of his competitors.
"I live by a code, and that code works for me," he said. "It has actually worked well for some others as well. I was taught that code partially by people I raced with too. We went to Wisconsin and raced Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon with the same car. No backup cars and they only paid about $400 to win each night. You didn't need to bend a ball joint or a tie rod or a wheel or fix a wreck. You know? You didn't need to. There was enough maintenance to be done as it was. The guys I raced with, we had a code that we raced with and it worked well and we tore very little up and we put on great shows and great racing. It is a little different now, obviously, but I still try to live by the same code. I try to race people extremely hard, but with respect and the way I want to be raced."
Martin's comments also brought to mind the way the media, TV folks in particular, and even advertising types, handle wrecks.
Too often wrecking and excitement are treated as one in the same. It's not the same.
Race broadcasters and advertisers all have shown over and over the Carl Edwards-Brad Keselowski crashes at Talladega and Atlanta.
But they're not telling the full story.
What's missing?
Here's how my RacinToday colleague Jeff Hood described the Keselowski crash at Atlanta:
"From where I sat in the press box on Sunday, I heard a bomb detonate at the exact moment I saw Keselowski's crumpled car clobber the wall out of the corner of my eyes."
A couple of things rushed through my mind: Keselowski's powerful impact reminded me of Blaise Alexander's wreck at the start-finish in an ARCA race in Charlotte in Oct. 2001. Alexander's contact with the wall sounded like an explosion. Alexander was pronounced dead less than an hour later.
Here's a challenge to the TV crowd – any time wreck footage is shown it should be complete with the actual sound.
Have at it, broadcast boys.

This is an exciting time for women's football, with the Women's World Cup highlighting the talents within the women's game and establishing a legacy for young girl's in England today. Our Lady and St Chad Academy provides students at post 16 level with the opportunity to take part in British College League football and also provides students with the chance to combine quality Football coaching with academic studies, in order to develop sporting skills further.
Academy students will study either a BTEC Level 3 in Sport, AS Physical Education, BTEC Level 3 Sports Science as well as being part of the Academy team.
By having the extra football training and playing opportunities, students can develop their knowledge and understanding of the sport, as well as developing skills to allow them to progress onto University or into women's football scholarship.

We have a state of the art 3G football pitch launching in September 2015. The facility will boast one full size adult pitch, one 9 v 9 pitch and three 5 a side pitches. All available for hire, see our Community Sport page (link). We also have a purpose built fitness suite with Technogym equipment (Academy players can use this facility to train in their own time), sports hall and gymnasium. PE classrooms are available for theory based activities. All students are expected to purchase an OLSC Sixth Sports Kit and Football Academy training and match-day kit; which include training jumper, t-shirt, shorts, socks, jacket and polo shirt for match-days.
As a specialist Sports Academy we aim to achieve success on and off the field:
- All students pass their A levels or BTEC Level 3 course with a merit or above.
- To develop students as players and coaches, and to encourage students to regularly attend football sessions within school and out of school time.
- To develop leadership and coaching skills by taking part in FA level qualified courses on site.
- Working with younger students at OLSC and within our Multi Academy to grow female footabllers from grassroots level.

Catfight! Nashville's Aubrey Peeples promises "lots of sparring"
According to Aubrey Peeples, a truce isn't in the cards for Layla and Juliette anytime soon, let alone a friendship. The drama of Nashville returns tonight!
Rest assured, Aubrey Peeples is nothing like her cutthroat Nashville character, Layla Grant. In fact, the country cutie, who is well on her way to stardom, has a really great friendship with co-star Hayden Panettiere, who plays Juliette.
"Working with Hayden is hilarious because I feel like we both have way too much fun fighting," Peeples shared with SheKnows. "And in between takes, we're just like, 'Oh, my god, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.' We just keep apologizing to each other, but it's great."
INTERVIEW: Nashville's Callie Khouri admits all hell breaks loose >>
We asked Peeples if she thought Layla and Juliette could ever be friends, and the actress thought there was potential.
"That would be interesting," she said. "I think it's possible, just knowing how life works... I think they just finished filming Episode 14, and that was the latest script I read. As of that, don't worry, there's still going to be lots of sparring to come."
OK, so it doesn't seem like Layla and Juliette are heading toward a truce anytime soon, let alone a friendship. Maybe in Season 3?
The Layla drama continues with a little backstory
When Season 2 of Nashville returns, viewers are going to get to know Layla Grant a little better.
"There's going to be some reveal of Layla's emotional past and, sort of, her family background and why she is the way she is," Peeples said. "I'm really looking forward to the audience seeing that for Layla because it's going to be a side that they haven't really seen of her yet. I think they'll have more empathy for her, so I'm really looking forward to that."
10 Reasons Nashville has changed country music >>
Of course, Peeples said there is also going to be drama regarding the situation with Will, but she couldn't say more than that. Maybe when Will returns (assuming he survives the train), he'll finally come out as gay. We'll have to wait for the show's return to discover Will's fate.
Making it in Hollywood can be tough, but Nashville's where it's at
When it comes to her personal life, Peeples prefers to avoid the drama.
"I think that any actor or actress has probably come in contact with people like [Layla]. And I will say that you definitely have to be determined and hard-working, but the manipulation and the cutthroat attitude definitely gets out there, and there are [lots] of people like that, but you just come in contact with that in any competitive environment. I try to stay away from that, the crazy!" Peeples explained, laughing.
Kelly Clarkson to bring her vocals to Nashville >>
Luckily, she hasn't had to worry about that with the cast of Nashville.
"I love working with everyone," Peeples shared. "I can honestly say that no one on this show has been bad to work with. It's so lovely. It's really like a close family."
The show has created quite the bond between the cast and crew — both through the environment of Tennessee, where the show is filmed, and through the musical culture.
Just before the show wrapped for the holidays, Peeples had the opportunity to perform at the Opry with Chris Carmack, who plays Will. She shared with us her desire to perform again in the future. We think the odds are in her favor. The Opry has, after all, become a popular stomping ground for the cast of Nashville while filming in Tennessee.
As for what's next, Peeples will begin 2014 by continuing to film Season 2 of Nashville. Later this year, she will star alongside Nicolas Cage and Danny Glover in the thriller Tokarev. Peeples also hopes to continue with her music and put out an album of her own someday soon.
Season 2 of Nashville returns Wednesday, Jan. 15, on ABC.

If this is a medical emergency, call 911.
Tetralogy of Fallot (pronounced teh-TRAHL-ah-jee of fah-LOH) is a rare, congenital condition that changes the normal flow of blood through the heart.
Tetralogy of Fallot involves 4 birth defects in the heart's structure:
Together, the 4 defects limit flow of oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs, where it should pick up oxygen. Instead, oxygen-poor blood leaves the heart and goes out to the rest of the child's body.
Reprinted with permission www.heart.org. ©2009, American Heart Association, Inc.
In recent years, the diagnosis and treatment of tetralogy of Fallot has improved greatly. Now, most children with this heart defect grow to adulthood and lead active lives.
Tetralogy of Fallot occurs in about 5 of every 10,000 babies. Children with this problem may be born with other congenital defects, including genetic disorders such as Down syndrome and DiGeorge syndrome.
U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks Seattle Children's cardiology and heart surgery program as one of the best in the country. With more than 40 pediatric cardiologists, we have experience diagnosing and treating every kind of heart problem.
Our heart team has treated many children with tetralogy of Fallot. We have years of experience with the surgery these patients require. We also have a pediatric cardiac anesthesia team and a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit ready to care for children who go through heart surgery.
See our statistics and outcomes for tetralogy of Fallot repair.
Seattle Children's has been treating children since 1907. Our team members are experts in their fields and in meeting the unique needs of children. For example, the doctors who give your child anesthesia (sedation) are board certified in pediatric anesthesiology. This means they have extra years of training in how to take care of kids. Our child life specialists know how to help children understand their illnesses and treatments in ways that make sense for their age.
When you come to Seattle Children's, a team of people will take care of your child. Along with your child's heart doctor (cardiologist), cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists, cardiac intensive care specialists, newborn specialists (neonatologists), lung doctors (pulmonologists), advanced nurse practitioners, nurses, child life specialists, social workers and others will care for your child, if their help is needed.
We work together to meet all of your child's health needs and help your family through this experience. We'll discuss treatments in ways you can understand and involve you in every decision.
Read more about the supportive care we offer.
The main effect of tetralogy of Fallot is that there's not as much oxygen in the baby's blood as there should be. A low oxygen level can make the baby's skin, lips and fingernails look blue. This is called cyanosis.
Cyanosis can range from mild to severe, depending on how much oxygen-poor (blue) blood makes it to their lungs and how much goes out to their body. Some babies with this condition do not appear bluish at birth. They may become cyanotic later as their pulmonary stenosis gets worse.
Your baby may also have trouble feeding and failure to thrive.
Some babies with tetralogy of Fallot have episodes called tet spells, when they suddenly turn bluish and may faint. These spells are serious. Your doctor will talk with you about what do to if this happens to your child.
A tet spell may be caused by activities that change the pressure in the heart and increase flow of oxygen-poor blood to the body. These may include crying, pooping or kicking the legs after waking up. Tet spells occur most often in babies between 2 and 4 months of age.
To diagnose this condition, your doctor will examine your child and use a stethoscope to listen to their heart. In children with tetralogy of Fallot, doctors almost always hear a heart murmur — the sound of blood moving in the heart in a way that's not normal.
The doctor will ask for details about your child's symptoms, their health history and your family health history.
Your child will also need tests that provide information about how their heart looks and works. These may include:
Tetralogy of Fallot must be repaired with open-heart surgery, either soon after birth or later in infancy. The timing depends on how severe your baby's condition is.
Most children with this kind of heart defect have a single surgery during infancy. Sometimes, more than 1 surgery is needed.
During surgery, the ventricular septal defect is closed with a patch and the pulmonary stenosis is opened up.
Babies who have surgery usually do well. About 90% survive to adulthood and lead active lives. See our statistics and outcomes for tetralogy of Fallot repair.
If your newborn with tetralogy of Fallot has severe cyanosis, your doctor may give the baby fluids through a vein (intravenously, or by IV) and medicines that help improve blood flow.
If your baby or child has tet spells, your doctor will show you how to place the child in a knees-to-chest position. This position adjusts the pressure and blood flow in the heart. Older children usually squat spontaneously and do not have tet spells.
Some babies have arteries in their lungs that are too small to receive much blood. Surgery may be needed to increase blood flow to their lungs so their arteries will get bigger before they can have surgery to correct the defects in their heart. Doctors do this by placing a shunt that directs more blood to the lungs. Later, these children have the second surgery to correct the defects in their heart.
Later in life, some children with tetralogy of Fallot need additional surgery to put in a new pulmonary valve. In the past, this required open-heart surgery.
Now, in some cases, this can be done without having to perform open-heart surgery through cardiac catheterization or a hybrid procedure, using a device called the Melody transcatheter heart valve. This means a new pulmonary valve is placed through a narrow tube directed into your child's heart. This avoids open-heart surgery and leads to quicker recovery.
Our team at Seattle Children's is participating in international studies to better understand which patients should have these procedures that involve cardiac catheterization.
To meet your child's long-term healthcare needs, we have a special Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program to transition your child to adult care when they're ready.
Contact the Heart Center at 206-987-2515 to request an appointment, a second opinion or more information.
Providers, see how to refer a patient.

Open Thread: Talk About Clothes, Style, Fashion — Whatever the Heck You Like to Call It
Your place to come talk about clothes whenever you feel like it.
We are living in truly glorious times, where a girl can bedazzle, sparkle-ify and bejewel almost anything her little heart desires. Bags, clothes, phones -- everything is fair game. (Hell, you can even bedazzle your own body -- remember crystal tattoos?)
I previously wrote about boot jewelry, a wondrous and fantastic invention, but are you aware there are actually all kinds of shoe jewelry out there? Specifically -- and most importantly for someone with bunions like myself -- sneaker jewelry? I sure wasn't, but now that I am, you can bet your butt I'll be making up for lost time.
Four Two Four on Faixfax calls their fancy sneaker jewelry "Sneaker Crowns," and they are basically shiny charms on blunt pegs with screw backs that you thread through your shoelace eyelets. These Sneaker Crowns come in sixty-some odd designs (including initials!) and add instant foot pizzazz to any look.
As with most things in life, if one is good -- way more is always even better. This theory applies tenfold when you're talking about Sneaker Crowns. The more the merrier!
The Sneaker Crowns I ordered for myself haven't arrived yet, but while I'm waiting I've aped the look with some random single earrings that were floating around in my jewelry box. (Just use a pencil eraser sliced in half instead of an earring back to both avoid the post stabbing you in the foot and to ensure it stays put.)
If bling isn't your thing, you can always accessorize your sneakers with some zany laces. These multi-colored ones from U-Lace can be customized in a million different color ways and have the added benefit of turning any pair of sneakers into a slip on -- perfect for breezing through airport security or quickly leaving the scene of a crime where you happen to have dozed off. (You're a polite criminal, after all, and would never put your shoes on someone's sofa.)
But sneakers aren't the only footwear getting in on the shoe jewelry trend. Any shoe with a strap across the toe -- flats, heels and wedges alike can benefit from a pair of shoe clips. Hannah has a great idea for getting this same look cheaply, but if you want to get fancy, search no farther than these couture shoe accoutrements called Shoelery. They are basically luxe clip on earrings for your shoes!
The Dominatrix in all of us will appreciate Shoelery's heel rings. (Just consider them a little something extra for the poor soul who is licking your spike heel to look at.)
You can also transform a pair of plain old pumps into an on-trend strappy sandal with these clever leather criss cross inventions by Dekkori. They come in black, white and metallic purple -- which are really the only three color choices a gal could ever need in life.
If attaching something to your footwear doesn't work for you, it's still possible to play the shoe jewelry game -- just slap this pair of gold toned cuffs around your ankles and call it a day. They work with absolutely any shoe -- from a sneaker to a flip flop. (I want a pair to wear barefoot poolside, because I'm ticky-tacky to the bone.)
Now that shoe jewelry is a "thing," I'm wondering what the powers that be could possibly have planned for us to accessorize next? I'm not-so-secretly hoping it has something to do with bedazzling my internal organs. Glitter spleens: totally on-trend for Fall 2014!
I'm on Twitter: @IveyAlison.

A writer for Fusion, the network and platform that debuted on Monday to appeal to Hispanics and Millennials, believes Sports Illustrated is sexist for not putting female athletes on its cover in issues other than the swimsuit issue.
In an article titled, "Sports Illustrated's Women Problem," Fusion writer Elizabeth Murray writes that Sports Illustrated "has an incredibly poor record featuring female athletes on its cover."
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue features female athletes on the inside of the magazine, and also always includes a female editor in chief. It's also become synonymous with the Sports Illustrated brand. But the fact remains that the cover remains one of the major ways that women can land a Sports Illustrated cover, and we'd be doing a disservice to the magazine and media industry by not discussing the lack of women on such a prominent magazine.
Less than 5 percent of non-swimsuit issue covers featured female athletes, a study by University of Louisville professors Jonetta Weber and Robert Carini published in the journal International Review for the Sociology of Sport revealed this past May. While there were 716 non-swimsuit issues of Sports Illustrated published between 2000 and 2011, only 18 times a woman was the "primary or sole image" on the cover.
Fusion also cites an Atlantic article that criticizes the magazine for "featuring anonymous women not related directly to sports participation, sexually objectifying female athletes, and promoting women in more socially acceptable gender-neutral or feminine sports."
For some reason, Fusion thinks Sports Illustrated should have featured the marriage between "United States Women's National Team players Abby Wambach and Sarah Huffman" or the accomplishments of another gay athlete, Brittney Griner, on the cover and complains that the last time a female athlete was on the cover of Sports Illustrated was on July 23, 2012, when the magazine "featured the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team during the London Olympics."

Painted Pumpkin Faces
It's important to recognize feelings. Teach your child that he can tell how other people are feeling by looking at the expressions on their faces. Halloween is a great opportunity to look around and see faces that are funny, scary, happy and sad. Your child can test out how well he understands facial features while trying to illustrate an emotion on a pumpkin using only paint! After he decides what emotion he wants his pumpkin to convey, he should paint it onto the pumpkin. See if you can guess what emotion he's trying to communicate.
What You Need:
- Mini pumpkins, or squash
- Tempera paint
- Brushes
- Hand-held mirror
What You Do:
- Ask your child to look in the mirror and tell him to mimic what various emotions look like. Can he make a happy face? Scary face? Sad face? Ask him to describe what features have to change in order to make those faces.
- Encourage him to think about what emotion he wants to give his pumpkin. Tell him to keep it a secret for now.
- Have him paint his pumpkin using the tempera paint, trying to portray the secret emotion. Allow the pumpkin to dry.
- Study his finished pumpkin and try guessing what emotion he gave his pumpkin. Did he successfully convey the expression?

Cook County — A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a nationally prominent equestrian rider and a horse trainer must be tried apart from a third defendant on charges of having a show horse killed for insurance money.
Federal prosecutors had intended to try all three defendants-George Lindemann Jr., Marion Hulick and Barney Ward-at the trial next month.
But U.S. District Judge George Marovich ruled it would be "fundamentally unfair" to Lindemann and Hulick because both are charged in just one horse killing; Ward is accused in that horse's death as well as three others.

Chicago Cubs Add Four Prospects to the 40-Man Roster
Yesterday, the Chicago Cubs added pitchers Chris Archer, Kyle Smit and Alberto Cabrera, and outfielder Brandon Guyer to the team's 40-man roster, which will protect them from the upcoming Rule Five Draft. It also means that the players will have a chance to make the big club out of Spring Training.
Archer, the organization's top pitching prospect, will get a chance to win a rotation spot, while Smit and Cabrera will vie for bullpen spots. Guyer, the organization's positional player of the year in 2010, will hope to land a bench spot in the clogged outfield rotation, unless a starting spot is opened up via trade.
The 40-man stands at 39. A curious non-addition is third baseman Marquez Smith. Smith, 25, is coming off a solid year in 2010 and was expected to compete for a bench job on the 2011 big club. He's ready to be tested in the Majors, and it would be unsurprising to see him selected in the Rule Five Draft if he's left unprotected.

I've been following a tiny news item via Captain Ranty's site about a matter of constitutional import. Now just about every country in the Anglosphere has a legal system based on what is known as Common Law, which derives from the Magna Carta, signed in 1215 by the then Monarch and his Barons. The key words here being the Monarch and his (or her) Barons.
Common law forms the basis of the legal system on a globe spanning basis, apart from in countries where the authorities routinely rape young women just to make it okay to put them to death, that is. Wherever the British Empire touched, there is common law. Generally speaking. Mostly. Kind of. Sometimes.
Now there's a problem in the offing which may come as close to a Casus Belli as any since the English Civil war. It's mostly New Labour's fault of course, with their usual less than competent approach to framing legislation. Although the mission creep of the European Union has grown since Edward Heath signed the Treaty of Rome and told everyone it was all about free trade between European Nations, the lying toad.
Here goes; a Baron Mereworth, whose family has held Letters Patent from the crown for centuries, was and is miffed at not being summoned to the House of Lords following his succession to the title. He tried to take the Ministry of Justice to the High Court over the matter, only to be dismissed with a brusque "We can't deal with this." response. In essence, they gave him the brush off. Go 'way son, you bother me patronizing style of thing.
This little High Court tiff is a direct result of the New Labour 2005 Constitutional 'reform' act. With a stroke of the pen there was an effective coup d'etat in England. No wonder the penalty for Treason was scaled back to a maximum of life imprisonment. Those New Labour shits knew exactly what they were going to do, and like much of their other legislation, it has left a steaming, barnyard smothering pile of legal poo behind.
All right, so what, you might say. All these Lords and stuff is soo old hat. Weren't they abolished in 2005 or something? Like that Magner Carter thingy. Load of old bollocks. It's History right? Doesn't apply any more. We're all equal Europeans now, yeah?
You might say that, and in some ways you'd be perfectly right, and in others so terribly, awfully wrong. In effect ceding sovereignty to the European Union, Parliament has essentially given up the last of HM Queens powers of state. Which leaves the rest of the Commonwealth, Canada, New Zealand, Australia in a bit of a cleft stick. Who appoints their Governor Generals? More to the point, as the Governor General of each Commonwealth Nation is effectively powerless, it begs the question of who pays his / her wages? The Crown? Who dat den? Without an effective Monarch there can be no Crown offices. There is also the question of legality, as, to quote this article;
Given that the last Labour government was in the habit of not obtaining assent from the Queen, when placing their laws onto the Statute Books, the hope is that Hereditary Peers will challenge the government in High Court and restore their access to the House of Lords. They can then take on the difficult task of bringing Blair's government to account for its treachery and treason.
WTF! Hang on. I was always taught that a bill passed by Parliament cannot become law unless it receives Royal Assent. You mean to tell me that there are laws being enforced that are not actually laws at all because they have not got the official Royal signature on them? Well fuck me rigid.
Confused? Well I certainly am. Although I have the distinct feeling that under this legal mess is a number of political grenades with pins pulled. Whoever manages to penetrate the steaming heaps of obfuscation and confusion may see the whole lot go up in a constitutional detonation causing all sorts of casualties.
To quote Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, a High Court Judge most recently involved with 'super' injunctions; "The danger is you muck around with a constitution like the British Constitution at your peril because you do not know what the consequences of any change will be."
Watch this space. This might get really interesting. From a distance that is.

Will I fit in at Temple Emanu-El?
Temple Emanu-El's membership is incredibly diverse. Some of us are single, some are married with young children, some are empty nesters, and some are retirees. We have an active Men's Club, Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ), Young Adults group (Kehillah, ages 22-39), numerous choirs, Babies 'n Bagels, and more. Some people join Temple for worship, some join for our Adult Education Academy, some join to send their children to our Early Childhood Education Center (the Strauss ECE) or the Kurn Religious School, and others join to make new friends or be with old friends. For most, there are a variety of reasons. Whoever you are, there is a place for you at Temple. LGBTQ individuals and families are welcome.
How can I get involved?
There is a lot for you to do at Temple! Aside from regular worship at Temple and the Westward Look Resort in the Northwest, we have a variety of small groups and programs including the Men's Club, the Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ), Young Adults ( Kehillah, ages 22-39), Babies 'n Bagels, Wandering Jews Hikes, a Youth Choir, Teen Choir and Adult Choir, and Social Action and Community Service projects and much more. Temple also has a number of committees that are crucial to helping us fulfill our mission and could use volunteers.
How often do you have services?
We have services every Friday evening and Saturday morning at Temple. We also have monthly Friday evening services and dinner at the Westward Look Resort in the Northwest and monthly Saturday morning services as part of a Wandering Jews Hike. For a schedule and more information, please click here.
Do I need to know Hebrew to follow the services?
We use the transliterated version of the Mishkan Tefillah prayerbook for most of our services. So if you cannot read Hebrew, it is all written out in the English alphabet as well.
What is the Bar or Bat Mitzvah program like at Temple Emanu-El?
At Temple Emanu-El, we pride ourselves on the one-on-one attention we devote to our students and see the preparation process culminating in the service as a transformative experience. Starting a year out, our Cantorial Soloist, Marjorie Hochberg, begins meeting weekly individually with students to help them prepare for leading the congregation's worship service. Six months out, students meet one-on-one with a rabbi to discuss and learn about a variety of topics, including the lessons from their Torah and Haftarah portion, ways they can serve other people, and other questions that students have. For more information, please click here to download a copy of our Bar/Bat Mitzvah Handbook.
I don't have school-age kids (or kids at all), and worship isn't my thing. What else is there?
All sorts of things! From social action to classes to social events, there is something for everyone.
I don't know anyone at Temple. Is it easy to meet people?
We're a very friendly group of people. Come by and meet us. The best way to get to know people, though, is to find an area of Temple and get involved.
How do I join? What about membership commitments?
The process of joining is easy. Simply give the Temple office a call at (520) 327-4501 and we will help you out. While we ask that everyone help support the Temple financially, no one is denied membership for an inability to pay. You may speak confidentially with our Executive Director, Donna Beyer, to make a mutually acceptable arrangement regarding membership commitments.

Centenary Celebrates Newest Authors
SHREVEPORT, La.—The accomplishments of five authors were celebrated at Centenary College at a reception in their honor at the Magale Library April 30.The newest authors to be published include Dr. Ken Aizawa, Dr. David Bedard, Dr. Susan Brayford, Dr. Peter Huff and Dr. Ed Leuck II.
The Bounds of Cognition is the second book authored by Dr. Aizawa. The book has been called a timely and relevant study that exposes the need to develop a more sophisticated theory of cognition, while pointing a bold new direction in exploring the nature of cognition. It challenges the current popularity of extended cognition theory through critical analysis and by pointing out fallacies and shortcomings in literature. Dr. Aizawa is the Charles T. Beaird Professor of Philosophy and Chair of Philosophy Department at the College.
I Remember Quan Loi was written by David Bedard, Ed. D., a Professor Emeritus of Health and Exercise Science at Centenary College of Louisiana. After a thirty-three year teaching career, and four years as an Athletic Director, he began a career in writing. The book is the story of his experiences in Vietnam as a young soldier. After graduating from college, Dr. Bedard enlisted in the U.S. Army and arrived in Quan Loi, Vietnam five months later in February 1969. His book chronicles the way of life and living conditions of American soldiers in Vietnam, of the French and Vietnamese who lived in the vicinity of Quan Loi, the horrors of war, and of his return home to Texas where he struggled with the realization that he would never be the same person he was before going to Vietnam.

Seven years is how long it took Dr. Susan Brayford to translate and write the commentary for Septuagint Commentary Series entitled Genesis. The associate professor of Religious Studies and associate Dean of the College, began the quest in 1998, her first semester at Centenary College when she received a letter from a publisher soliciting her contributions for their new commentary series on the Septuagint, the oldest Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. This is the first English language commentary on the Greek Genesis. This translation from the Torah allowed Greek-speaking Jews in the last centuries Before the Common Era to read their stories in the new language. A Commentary includes an English translation of the text of Codex Alexandrinus and provides insight into the theological, philological, and sociological issues that abound in the book of Genesis.
What Are They Saying About Fundamentalisms is Dr. Peter Huff's latest book, a brief, comprehensive, and balanced introduction to major trends in the academic study of fundamentalism, aimed at both college and seminary students as well as the general reader. This book offers a critical and empathetic survey of the world's major fundamentalist movements and the innovative scholars who study them. Dr. Huff, an advocate for interfaith dialogue with fundamentalists, covers the full range of the cross-cultural fundamentalist phenomenon. Dr. Huff is the T.L. James Eminent Scholars Chair of Religion and Chair of Religious Studies Department at Centenary College.
Plants of Beaver Island was co-authored by Dr. Ed Leuck II, Warters Chair of Biology and Chair of the Biology Department at Centenary College. In two parts, it covers bogs and ferns, then Lake Michigan beaches and sand dunes. Dr. Leuck spent many summers providing on-site photographs and evaluations to the Beaver Island Recreation Resource Project. His special interests are native plants and their use and incorporation into cityscapes. On Beaver Island, he works to keep out invasive species and aggressively promotes leaving the natural vegetation.

Blu-Ray Review: The FP
Life moves pretty fast these days. Sequels get announced before the first movie comes out, Shia LaBeouf's already doing nude scenes and I hear some people even kiss on the first date now. One of the most noticeable aspects of this new run-and-gun lifestyle, from a moviegoer's perspective anyway, is the strange notion that movies can be cult hits before they even come out. Film critics can take some of the blame for that, and god knows that marketing departments are constantly trying to make it happen on their own. Sometimes it works out – oh, hello Attack the Block – and sometimes it backfires – oh, goodbyeSnakes on a Plane – but there's certainly an impression that some films, like the post-apocalyptic Dance Dance Revolution movie The FP, are sacrosanct before they even hit my Blu-ray player. Call me old-fashioned, but I can't just go with the flow with this new trend, especially since The FP isn't very good.
I will let you pummel me with garbage now. It's okay. Take your time.
Now that you've had your jollies, let me explain why I couldn't have mine. I really wanted to like The FP. The concept alone makes me laugh. Maybe that's part of the problem. Maybe if I'd never heard the idea for the film and discovered The FP without a hint of buildup, I'd be kinder to this rather unimpressive film that doesn't make the most of its concept and falls prey to wholly unnecessary sexist undertones. Then again… maybe not.
The FP stars co-writer/co-director Jason Trost as "JTRO," a gang member in what could be a post-apocalyptic America or could simply be a very weird slum. In this oddball reality, rival gangs compete for power through a video game called Beat Beat Revelation, in which the loser sometimes dies. After JTRO's brother falls victim to the beat, JTRO leaves Frazier Park (the "FP") behind. A year later, he's recruited to save the community from an evil gang leader who runs the only liquor store in town, and for some reason withholds booze from his most loyal customers, alcoholics, who have turned to hard drugs instead of just making their own in a still. (It's not hard.) Along the way he meets up with an old flame played by Caitlyn Folley, and perfects his skills in one training montage after another.
It never feels like we learn any more about the characters, their world or even the plot than we do from the trailer. How did Beat Beat Revelation become a their weapon of choice? How does it kill you, anyway? JTRO's brother simply collapses on the ground, dead as a doornail. If the machine isn't actually involved in his death (which I suspect to be the case, since it doesn't kill anyone else throughout the film), then what happened? Did he just have high cholesterol? Should JTRO's saga of revenge have been waged against villainous fast food companies instead? And why the hell is every woman in this movie, including the hero's love interest, a shallow ditz whose only function in the story is to dole out blowjobs?
Yes, The FP might very well be this year's Bellflower: the indie darling that few seemed to take to task for treating women as vile things to be humiliated by men for their petty amusement. What's up with that, The FP? Would it have killed you to take your fundamentally ridiculous conceit and have some good-natured fun with it? Why'd you have to get all creepy on my ass? The action-packed climax features a female character who (I assume) we're supposed to like being orally raped, and it's treated as a joke. The romantic subplot concludes with the hero saving the girl and getting a blowjob of his own, as if that's all he was after in the first place. They have no real future together: he's boring and she has no ambition beyond becoming a stripper so she can pay for her own booze.
What The FP lacks, that its very concept promises, is a light heart. There's no real pleasure to be taken in the events that unfold except as mere ideas. The idea of Dance Dance Revolution controlling the destiny of a post-apocalyptic future is funny, but in practice it's confusing and a surprisingly small part of the storyline. The idea of building a 1980s sports movie around an inherently silly pastime is rife with possibility, but the film only embraces the most superficial aspects of the genre. The heart, the soul and the melodrama are all missing. It's a spectacular waste of a great idea; it's like inventing the artificial heart and then powering it with a hamster wheel.
But The FP has its fans, who I guess are entranced by the mere concept and willing to overlook the rampant misogyny. For them, the Blu-ray release offers a treasure trove of bonus material (commentary track, behind the scenes features, a 16-page booklet), and a mostly strong transfer that captures the film's intensely digital aesthetic. For the rest of us, just close your eyes and imagine a post-apocalyptic Dance Dance Revolution movie. Whatever you come up with is better than this.

USF secures first WCWS appearance
Nevins closes out Hofstra to earn second victory of day
TAMPA -- USF head coach Ken Eriksen looked upbeat despite his team losing the Tampa Super Regional opener against Hofstra late Friday night.
"This nice part about it is we have one day left in this tournament. This nice part is you come out, you get hot, you let it roll and the day is over," he said after a 2-1 defeat in 11 innings.
Eriksen had the same smile on his face Saturday night after USF won its second consecutive game of the day by a 2-1 margin. The second victory sent the Bulls to their first Women's College World Series.
"When you win in the locker room you have a chance to win on the field. We did that this year," Eriksen said. "It's a big deal for our fans. It's a big deal for our athletic program. It's a big deal for our student-athletes. It's a big deal for our university in general."
Excitement for the fans started to really grow in the fifth inning of the series finale with the game tied at 1 and USF coming up to bat in the top half of the frame.
Gina Kafalas started with a single up the middle and made it to second on a sacrifice by Jessica Mouse. Kafalas jetted over to third on a passed ball by Hoftra ace Oliva Galati, who threw all 27 innings of the series. Kafalas made it home for what would be the decisive run when Stephanie Medina lifted a 1-2 pitch for a sacrifice fly to left field.
"We kept playing, we didn't give up and we didn't let down. Our focus was there 100 percent of the time," Medina said.
Right-hander Lindsey Richardson started the game by pitching 1.1 scoreless innings and Sara Nevins pitched like the ace she is after Hofstra tied the game in the second inning on a passed ball by the left-hander. Nevins (31-5) picked up her second win of the day by giving up just three hits in the final 5.2 innings.
Nevins also got a lot of help from her defense with Mouse turning a double play with the initial out at third in the third inning, two frames after the senior made a diving catch to save a run in the first. USF had a 1-0 lead at that point after Kenshyra Jackson worked a bases-loaded walk.
The fans' excitement reached its pinnacle in the bottom of the seventh with USF needing three outs to lock the series up. Hofstra's Rachael Senatore grounded out. Nevins struck out her sixth batter of the game when she got Becca Bigler swinging for the second out and Eriksen took a walk to the mound.
"He said make sure you stay calm and feed the Mouse," Nevins said.
Nevins faced a 2-2 count against Galati when the cutter she threw was hit right at Mouse at third.
"I knew she was going to pull the ball to me because she had hit a few down the line already," Mouse said. "Sara had been throwing great all game. She threw it inside and jammed her up a little bit, so she gave me an easier ground ball."
Mouse easily fielding the grounder and threw the ball with ease to Medina, who stepped on first base for the historic out that ended the game and sent a home crowd of 1,544 to its feet.
"I threw the ball to Steph and tears of happiness just came," Mouse said.
Galati had a 32-game winning streak going until USF beat her in Saturday's doubleheader opener after the right-hander gave up just a run in game 1 of the series on Friday.
The Bulls' belief in themselves was still there after Friday's loss and never wavered through 16 innings on Saturday.
"Even after the loss we didn't get down on ourselves," Medina said. "We kept pushing."

About LC King
Near the dawn of the 20th Century, our namesake, Landon Clayton King, sought durable workwear that functioned on the farm or the hunt while retaining its rugged character. Finding none to his liking, he founded his own company and soon developed the now iconic Pointer Brand, named after his beloved bird dogs. Over a century later and the LC King Mfg. Co. continues to produce a full Pointer Brand line of workwear as well as a more "streetwise" and style-centered line under the "LC King" brand. Still handmade from our Bristol, TN factory, these garments are produced using the traditional cut & sew processes and techniques that have served our customers so well for generations. The LC King factory remains family owned and operated as Landon Clayton King's great-grandson, Jack King, is the current owner and operations manager.
