Since my last post touched on the topic of Stargate SG-1, I thought I’d take the time to say goodbye to what has been one of my favorite shows for the past 10 years (since I was 18!). I’m going to iss it. Stargate Atlantis is nice, but there’s something about SG-1.

You can now go to Bittorrent.com, purchase, and download movies or TV shows…but only if you have Microsoft Windows XP, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, and you live in the United States.

February 24th rally in London against the UK’s plans to renew their Trident nuclear warhead arsenal in direct violation of the international laws they claim to uphold.  In addition, they rallied for an end of the Iraq war, the pending war against Iran, and freedom for Palestinians.  Full coverage and photos at IndyMedia UK.

…to make this special announcement.
Umm Zahra, my love. You have given me four years of love and happiness, and two beautiful daughters. May Allah reward you infinitely for being the best of mothers and following in the footsteps of Maryam (peace be upon her), mother of Jesus (peace be upon him) and Fatimah […]

For years growing up, watching the Colts, I dreamed of what it would be like if they were in the SuperBowl. Even when they were the lowest of the low, we used to go to their games and be so excited if they even won one game. Now they’ve reached the pinnacle. […]

“Investigations by the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and others, including British military officials, have concluded that Iran is not engaged in the cross-border supply of weapons. General Peter Pace, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said no such evidence exists.”
