In one of the early Muslim civil wars (a.d. 683),

al-Zubayr in Mecca was besieged by al-Husayn. Husayn's

men used catapults and damaged the Kaba. It looked like

'the torn bosoms of mourning women'. Zubayr and his men

pitched their tents next to the Kaba, and a

conflagration caught the Kaba on fire. The Kaba was

severely damaged, and the black stone was split into

three pieces.

A short time later, al-Hadjdjadj conquered Mecca and

killed Zubayr. He modified the Kaba's structure.



In 929, the Karmatians invaded Mecca and carried off

the black stone! 20 years later it was returned.



Other natural events (bad weather) have also caused the

Kaba to need repair.

If someone is locked up in a mental health institue and there is no contact with ANY family, Yet the patient constantly talks about their children and husband etc. Yet there is NO record can a person put there name on a site looking to see if anyone knows them? I know there is confidenciality for the mentally ill, but I am talking about patients that give names and want to have contact with family????

I have just bought a new laptop with Window Vista operating system. Due to some reason, I have to reinstall my windows Vista. But I wonder if the reinstallation would change or delete some of the original data, settings, or original drivers which came with my new laptop (like sound card, vedio card). I have no any other driver CDs except the Windows Vista CD.

Thank you very much.

This would be my first girlfriend, so I have to ask. I like this girl a lot and i am almost positive that she likes me too. We have spanish class together and she came to my basketball tournment with my friends sister. We went to my other friends hotel/resort and went in the pool. There, we talked a lot (about a 1/2 hour talk) and then realized we had a game in a half hour. We walked back to the hotel that we were staying at and had another deep conversation on the way back. We hung out a lot over the course of the weekend. When the trip was over we talked a lot in spanish class for the next week, then today we watched a movie and got to choose where we sat. One of her best friends practicly begged her to sit by her, but she still decided to sit and talk to me. So I was wondering, what is a good way to ask an 8th grade girl out?

I keep having popups that says that my computer is at risk of hackers and stuff and I just wanted to know what is the best thing that i can use to make it all go away.

this is a little embarassing but, I wanna lose weight badly, i'm following a very calorie restricted diet (no more then 1000)...and exercising a couple hour a day ontop of the 6 times a week of hockey.

I'm told i'm healthy, but my gym said I need to lose 25-30 lbs and they said I had 38% body fat. I can't help but see this large figure infront of me and now I find anytime I eat, i feel really, really guilty and get all bummed out

But I can't help it...I feel so consumed with this...I'm taking a few things to try and help...diet pills and a couple of intestinal cleansers a day. I don't have an eating disorder, and I know theres no way i'm gonna get on. I've got more control then that.

But i feel so consumed...I wanna lose the weight so badly...but I don't know why...and I feel myself getting mroe and more consumed each day. That thought of consumption scares me....does that make sense?
