Nike Fc 247 winter colourways
Nike have been very busy during these Christmas holidays, especially when it came to updating the Big Swoosh’s own range of boots for the small-sided game, the FC247 collection.
In fact, following the highly eccentric Energy Pack, we have seen the amazing Flash Pack update, and now the brand is marketing a colder style for the winter months as seen below.
Rugged Black Bomba Finale II
The understated look of this boot, almost in blackout, does not compromise the benefits of the super-light NikeSkin upper wrapped in All Conditions Control technology to ensure maximum performance in both wet and dry conditions.
Black / Neo Lime / White Elastico Finale II
Almost 25 % lighter than its predecessor, this incarnation involves a thin responsive and breathable upper with Nike Skin around the toe for durability, as well as a groove down the forefoot offering flexibility with the athlete’s foot.
Balsa / Volt / Black Lunar Gato II
This is the boot for excellent ball touch on the street, concrete and other surfaces, with an incredibly soft goat leather upper eliminating break-in time and supportive mesh panels for breathability and locking the foot in place.
A lejohet te behet lutja pa abdes?
Pyetje: Ndodh që në disa netë ngrihem prej gjumit në orën 2 dhe i lutem Allahut për atë që ndjej/kam nevojë. e kjo, mos pasur abdes dhe duke mos falur namaz nafile (nate). A është ky veprim i lejuar apo patjetër duhet te kem abdes dhe të fal namaz?
Imam Ibën Bazi (allahu e mëshiroftë!): Nuk ka problem të bësh dua duke qene pa abdes. Madje edhe nëse je xhunub, sepse nuk është prej kushteve të saj pastërtia. E kjo është prej mëshirës së Allahut. Ngase njeriu ka nevojë për të bërë dua në çdo kohë. Por nëse kjo bëhet duke qenë me abdes dhe fal namaz, kjo, është më afër që të pranohet duaja, e në veçanti në sexhde. Bazuar në fjalën e Profeti sal-lAllahu alejhi ue sel-lem: “Njeriu ndodhet më afër Zotit të tij duke qenë në sexhe. Prandaj i shtoni duatë (në sexhde).” E ka nxjerr imam Muslimi në “sahihun” e tij.
Allahu është dhuruesi i suksesit!
Pit Bull Problems
I'm often asked about my love of the Pit Bull breed(s).Why do I love them?
How did I come to love them?
Was I always drawn to these dogs?
Growing up, my family had many dogs of many different breeds.
But I'd be lying if I said that we ever had a "Pit Bull." I'd also be lying if I said I'd ever wanted to have a "Pit Bull" ... or that my parents would've ever allowed us to have a "Pit Bull."
It's not that my parents were "bad" people... they just didn't know any better. Therefore, I didn't know any better. I was never "against" Pit Bulls, but I also wasn't "for" them, either. Mostly because... I just didn't know much about them.
But what I *knew* about them... all that I *knew* about them... was based on what I'd *heard* about them.
And it wasn't good.
Back then, I'd never heard anything positive said about "Pit Bulls."
No one I knew ever had a "Pit Bull."
No one I knew ever wanted a "Pit Bull."
No one I knew had ever even encountered a "Pit Bull."
Therefore, even though I never "judged" these dogs, I honestly never thought much about them. And I certainly never thought: "One day... I'll grow up and save them."
So... when did this change for me?
Well, it was in 2009, and his name was Rudy.
By then, I was 24 years old, and I'd met many other "Pit Bulls." So... I knew a little more about these dogs, and I cared a lot more about them. But even still, at the time, I wasn't using my voice to help them, nor was I using my rescue efforts to save them.
Until... I met Rudy.
He was the one who changed everything.
Ask any "Pit Bull lover."
Many of us weren't always "Pit Bull lovers."
Instead, it took one dog... one "Pit Bull" ... to change everything. And almost every "Pit Bull lover" can name who "that dog" was for them.
For me, "that dog" was Rudy.
I'll be honest. I didn't fully trust him at first.
Not because he was a "Pit Bull," but because he was a dog who had been chained, beaten, and starved for his whole life. I didn't know him... he didn't know me. I was unsure... he was unsure. I didn't know what to expect... he didn't know what to expect.
But I saved him, and he knew it.
So he loved me, and I knew it.
Rudy came to me as a "rescue dog." As with every other rescue dog I take in, I was simply planning to bring him back to health, and then find a family to love him forever.
Of course, I soon realized... I could never let him go.
Because he was the "Pit Bull" who would change my life.
At the time, I didn't fully realize just how much he would change my life, my mission, my future. I also didn't realize just how much unnecessary judgment I'd face, as a result of that decision... simply because, I loved a "Pit Bull" ...
Before Rudy, I'd saved many dogs, and I'd always been praised by others for my love of dogs, for my rescue efforts, for my commitment to my cause. But when I saved Rudy, and I began to rescue other "Pit Bulls" like him... that's when the public scrutiny entered my life:
"OMG Ashley!!! A Pit Bull?!"
"Why would you?!"
"How could you?!"
"What the hell are you thinking?!"
Initially, I was utterly shocked, and offended. I'd done nothing wrong. In fact, I was trying to do something "right."
I didn't rescue Rudy, simply because he was a "Pit Bull." I didn't trust Rudy, simply because (or in spite of the fact that) he was a "Pit Bull." I didn't love Rudy, simply because he was a "Pit Bull." Instead, I rescued Rudy, because he needed me. I trusted Rudy, because he trusted me. I loved Rudy, because he loved me.
He was the most amazing, incredible, loving dog I've ever known. And... he just-so-happened to be... a Pit Bull.
Soon, I realized that very few others were willing to rescue Pit Bulls. Therefore, I started saving more of them. Clearly, it was a choice I made, based on my experience with Rudy. I wanted to save others like my baby, the dogs who had no other hope.
But it didn't take long for me to understand the weight of my decision.
When I started rescuing Pit Bulls, I suddenly realized that I was now "different."
In the minds of many, my rescue dogs were not "dogs" at all. Instead, I was saving "monsters."
This realization changed me, in so many ways. I was hurt; I was angry; I was disgusted. Suddenly... I was on a mission... to prove every critic wrong. Because they WERE wrong.
That being said, I don't save "Pit Bulls," simply because they're the only dogs worth saving. I save "Pit Bulls," because these dogs are equally deserving, equally amazing, and equally loving, when compared to any other dog (maybe moreso?). Plus, they're the most judged, most misunderstood, and most hated breed in existence. And very few other rescuers can/will save them. That's where I come in...
I mean... if you were hated, based on nothing more than how you look, wouldn't YOU want someone to stand-up for you?? I know I would...
I could go on for days about how incredible the Pit Bull breed(s) are, but please... don't just take my word for it.
Instead, go to a shelter, and meet a Pit Bull. Contact an animal rescue group... and ask to walk a Pit Bull. Seriously, go freaking love-on a Pit Bull. Trust me... it just takes one... to change your perspective.And that one "Pit Bull" ... just may change your life.
*Written in loving memory of "the one" who changed me, Rudy

Lucky the Bed Bug Dog
Lucky’s life didn’t have the best start. Severely neglected, the scrawny, mostly hairless puppy was discovered by his now dad, Peter Schonemann of Russ Pest Control, while he was out performing bed bug inspections in North Carolina.
“I knocked and knocked on the door and no one would answer until I heard this whimpering,” Peter says, “So I took him outside with me and pet his head — it seemed like the only part of him safe to touch. And everyone who saw me said they were glad I had the pup because no one else wanted him.”
Peter took Lucky home to his family who immediately fell in love. A surprisingly clean bill of health had the puppy settling in with his new family in no time. “He ate twice and slept for about four days,” Peter recalls. No one in the family would have guessed that Lucky, seemingly just another of their rescue dogs (of which they now have three), would soon show off a special talent.
Adult bed bugs are just a little bit smaller than an apple seed and can be seen with the naked eye. However, their eggs and nymphs are nearly impossible to find without a special skill set — a skill set that Lucky just happened to be born with. “He would just sniff everything, and yeah he’s a dog, but this was different,” Peter says. Fully trained bed bug detection dogs can cost upwards of $7,000, but Lucky was showing signs that he’d be a good candidate to show what a totally free rescue dog can do. “So we bought some vials to hide the bugs in and Amy started training him to be a bed bug detection dog.”Peter and Amy are impressed with his progress. “He can sniff out one egg. That’s all it takes,” his dad boasts. “He still gets distracted with other dogs’ toys when we’re searching a place and that sort of thing, but we’re working with him. He’s still such a puppy.”
“Everyone loves him around the office. He comes in every morning to take attendance before we go out for more training,” Peter says. Lucky, now 19 months old, is on track to be a certified bed bug detection dog by the time he reaches his second birthday.
“Lucky is the epitome of a pit bull — he’s loyal and loves to play,” Peter says. “Some clients are afraid of him since he’s a pit bull, but he’s got this goofy ear that stands up all the time so I think that helps.”
When he’s not sniffing out bed bugs, Lucky enjoys running with his mom, getting spoiled at the office, and enjoying a quiet home life with his family. Lucky and Amy ran in the 2013 Canine Crawlon St. Patrick’s Day which benefitted their local shelter, the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina. Not only did they participate in the race, Lucky and Amy finished in first place in Amy’s age group.
Stay updated on Lucky and his bed bug detection by following him on Facebook and Twitter.
A lejohet Heqja e tatuazhit ?
Heqja e tatuazhit
Imam Ibën Bazi (Allahu e mëshiroftë!): Nëse muslimani e ka bërë tatuazhin duke mos e ditur ndalesën e bërjes së tij ose ka qenë i vogël ai duhet ta heq atë kur njoftohet se një gjë e tillë është haram.
Por nëse në heqjen/ largimin e tij ka vështirësi apo (sjellë) dëm mjafton për të që të pendohet e të kërkojë falje.

Falja e dy rekateve perpara mardhenieve me gruan?
Pyetje:Cili eshte vendimi mbi faljen e dy rekateve perpara te paturit mardhenie seksuale ne naten e dasmes?
Shejkh Muhamed Ibn Salih El-Uthejmin:Disa prej Sahabeve, Allahu qofte i kenaqur me ta, i falnin dy rekate perpara se te kishin mardhenie seksuale me grate e tyre ne naten e pare.
Por une nuk di nga Suneti autentik nga i Derguari i Allahut (sal-lAllahu alejhi ue sel-lem) ne lidhje me kete.
Por une nuk di nga Suneti autentik nga i Derguari i Allahut (sal-lAllahu alejhi ue sel-lem) ne lidhje me kete.
Suneti eshte te prekesh gruan ne balle dhe ti kerkoni Allahut per miresine e saj dhe miresine qe ajo i sjell atij, dhe te kerkoni mbrojtje tek Allahu nga e keqja e saj dhe e keqja e asaj qe eshte paracaktuar per ate (burrin).
Dhe ne qofte se ai ka frike ne kete rast se gruaja do te shkoje larg prej tij, ai duhet te preke ballin e saj, sikur ai deshiron ta terheqe ate prane tij dhe ta puth ate, pastaj t’i lutet Allahut me lutje ne fshehtesi, ne menyre qe ajo nuk e degjon ate, sepse disa gra mund te imagjinojne dicka (te keqe) nese ajo degjon burrin e saj duke thene:
“Kerkoj mbrojtjen Tende nga e keqja e saj dhe nga e keqja e asaj qe eshte percaktuar per te”,
dhe thote:”A ka te keqe ne mua?”
Best Friends Says Farewell to Vicktory Dog, Lucas After a Long Battle with Severe Health Issues
Lucas’ battled-scarred face left a lasting impression on anyone who ever met him—not because of his appearance, but because the often happy-go-lucky Lucas never stopped grinning when he was around people.
Because of the perceived street value based on his previous notoriety and underworld status, the Federal judge who adjudicated the Vick dogfighting case (and authorized the placement of the Vick dogs with rescues), ruled that Lucas be released to Best Friends with the condition that he remain a lifetime-care dog at the sanctuary, located in Kanab, Utah.
Lucas was one of the 22 “most challenging” dogs rescued in April 2007 from Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels fighting operation-- dogs that the judge would only release to Best Friends. They came to the sanctuary in January of 2008, following Vick’s trial and the appointment by the court of a Guardian/Special Master to recommend appropriate placement of dogs seized in the initial raid.
At Best Friends, the dogs were affectionately dubbed “The Vicktory Dogs.”
Prior to the Bad Newz Kennels case, there was no hope for dogs confiscated in dogfighting cases, according to Gregory Castle, chief executive officer of Best Friends Animal Society.
"Before Lucas and the rest of the Vicktory dogs came to Best Friends, the policy on dogs taken from fighting rings was that they be killed. That’s it. That was the policy – rescue them from the bad guys and then kill them. After the Vicktory Dogs those policies and organizational positions were changed in favor of every dog being treated and evaluated as an individual.”
John Garcia was co-manager of the sanctuary’s dog area at the time of the case. He was sent back east to get to know the dogs and help them transition to their new life. His relationship with the dogs was chronicled on the National Geographic Channel series “DogTown.”
“Lucas was inspirational from the first time I ever saw him, I was impressed that after all he had gone through, he still loved humans,” said Garcia, who is Best Friends’ emergency response manager. “He showed us the resilience of canines, something we humans need to learn. Bottom line, he was the king. He changed people's perceptions worldwide about who fighting dogs were and what they could become. I think it's time not be sad, but to celebrate his life. He lived a happy life at Best Friends and Lucas saved thousands of other dogs' lives just by being who he was.”
When the dogs first arrived at Best Friends in January 2008, media came from around the country to meet the dogs. While most of the other dogs were very frightened and cowered from the camera, Lucas proudly hopped on top of his doghouse, wagging his tail nonstop and posing for the camera. Several hardened newspeople were visibly smitten with this charismatic dog.
"Ironically, of all the Vicktory Dogs, the one who could never be adopted per court order, was the most social and well-behaved of them all around people,” said Castle. “And that is how Lucas will be remembered around the staff offices where he spent his days. It was a blessing in every way to be around him and to witness his wonderful effect on everyone he met.
“Lucas was bigger than the abuse he had suffered and bigger than his abusers. In fact they never really touched the real Lucas,” Castle said.
Lucas embodied an indomitable and gentle spirit, but also he represented the tragedy and abuse that the worst of humanity imposes upon the best of our animal friends. It was never possible to escape the sad reality that behind his heavily scarred muzzle and intimidating reputation of a grand champion fighting dog was a sweet, affectionate, regular dog who wanted nothing more than to be around people – to love and to be loved.
“Lucas should have been someone’s pet and been raised in a loving home,” added Castle. “His life, however, was stolen by a gang of thugs who thrived on inflicting pain on helpless animals. Yet, he bore not a hint of malice toward people. In fact he makes the case that it is the characteristic loyalty and desire of dogs to please their people that is manipulated and used against them to get them to fight, which most certainly doubles the crime and abuse of dog fighting."
“Lucas was indeed a champion, but his greatest victories were outside the ring. He won our hearts and taught the world about the integrity and depth of character that is a dog.”
Nike “Flash” Reflective FC247 Boots
Nike have updated their colourways of the FC247 collection with a common theme applied throughout their pack of boots for the small-sided game, bringing them in line with their recently released Flash Pack.
In fact, the Bomba, Elastico and Lunar Gato lines have each received a metallic silver paint job finished off with block coloured soles, still allowing you to perform on a variety of surfaces on which the beautiful game can be played.
Bomba Finale II
Using an Electric Green, this boot is built for high speed on astroturf and hard grass pitches, weighing in at just 268 g while featuring NikeSkin technology and being wrapped in ACC technology for great performance in both wet and dry.
Elastico Finale II
Matched up with the Volt of the Flash Pack Hypervenom, this boot also features NikeSkin for a close fit and a distinctively textured upper that is incredibly soft and flexible to provide a superior touch.
Lunar Gato II
The toughest of the group, this boot mirrors the Gamma Blue of the corresponding CTR360, whilst fused mesh Hyperfuse panels lock down the midfoot to maximise lateral support for a fine balance of light weight and comfort.

Nike Tiempo V At The Feet Of A Legend
The Tiempo Legend V is the latest model of football boots hitting the shelves after being produced by Nike, and the world-famous brand of the Big Swoosh could not have asked for better PR than that afforded with the episode presented below.
In fact, in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup eventually won by Bayern Munich, Moroccan Champions Raja Casablanca had hosted and beaten an Atlético Mineiro side boasting the true Brazilian great Dinhoo in their ranks.
The home club players seized the opportunity to grab a piece of history at the end of the match, snatching off equipment from their much revered opponent.
Rather that settling for just his jersey, they asked for Dinho’s shorts and boots, and well done to this legend who showed the Christmas spirit as he was under no obligation to be such a good sport especially in the wake of such a tough loss.

Mercurial Vapor IX SG Pro Football Boots
For players seeking a lightweight model as worn by the professionals, then the Mercurial Vapor IX barely touches the scales at 218g (UK size 8). This minimalist design is delivered courtesy of a strong yet soft Premium Teijin microfibre upper which has taken inspiration from the dimpled surface of a golf ball and features debossed microgrooves. This approach has been applied to quite simply reduce air resistance and enhance ball control.
As an added feature which further enhances the performance and reliability of these football boots, the Mercurial Vapor IX comes equipped with Nike's innovative new All Conditions Control (ACC), created to aid the grip between the boot and ball for enhanced performance control in all conditions.
Across the midsole and the contoured, perforated sockliner provides low-profile cushioning whilst helping to reduce stud pressure for enhanced performance. Continuing across the boot and the attention to detail has been incorporated in every aspect of this Mercurial Vapor IX. Inspired by track spikes, the forefoot grip zone is a subtle addition which provides vital toe-off traction for that all-important injection of speed.
A hybrid configuration of reinforced moulded and screw-in metallic studs of varying length (11mm and 13mm) ensure light work is made of soft natural surfaces. The full length chassis combines two layers of glass-fibre composite to help reduce stud pressure whilst providing instant support and stability for enhanced comfort and performance.
With the Nike creative team clearly feeling the summer vibes, a fluid transition of volt to bright citrus will certainly lighten up your play all year round. Against these bold colours, the Nike branding in black makes for an emphatic look that will instantly be embraced by players who demand high visibility from their football boots.
Cat Adopts Newborn Pit Bull Puppy
 |
A Mama kitty caring for her own litter of kittens at the Cleveland Animal Protection League in Ohio is pitching in to help shelter staff care for a week-old pit bull pup who needs all the support he can get in order to thrive.
Noland the pup came to the APL last week when he was just a day old, and is said to have been rejected by his mother. Mama kitty Lurlene has accepted Nolan alongside her babies, who are called Rivette, Espa, Zixi and Tallydab, and she mothers the puppy for about 9 hours a day.
Shelter staff bottle feed Noland and take him home with them at night.
APL President Sharon Harvey said, “Pups that old without their mom … their survival rate is pretty iffy,” in explanation of why they decided to see if Lurlene would accept Nolan into her litter. Lurlene and the kittens welcomed him with no problems.
“Lurlene loves him,” said Harvey. “It’s so adorable.”
Noland will remain with the APL for as long as it takes to make sure he is strong, healthy and ready to be adopted.
“Noland is going to be with us for quite awhile,” said Harvey. “We need to be really sure with him. We’ve got to focus on giving him the care he needs right now.”
