The Mercy Of Allah
Lessons from Isra and Mi'raj
Reminder from Isra and Mi'raj
Allah SWT Has Declared Four Months To Be Sacred Which Are Dhul Qa'dah, Dhul Hijjah, Muharram, And Rajab.This sacredness was observed by the pre Islamic Arabs and was continued by Rasul Allah SAW in the following words:
O People! Time Has Gone Back To How It Was
At The Time Allaah Created The Heavens And The Earth.
A Year Has Twelve Months, Four Of Which Are Sacred, Three Consecutive,
Dhul-Qi'dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, And Rajab,
Which Comes Between Jumaadaa And Sha'baan.â€
Good deeds and acts of obedience are dearer to Allah SWT during these months and their reward is multiplied. The month of Rajab is most famous for the incident of the night journey and ascension of Prophet SAW to the heavens, in Arabic known as Al-Isra wal Mi'raj. The exact date of this journey is unknown, however all Islamic scholars are in agreement that it took place in the month of Rajab.
Al-Isra Refers To Prophet SAW's Journey To Jerusalem
Where He Led All The Previous Prophets In Prayer,
And Mi'raj Refers To His Journey To The Heavens
This miraculous journey is very significant and has a direct impact on daily lives of Muslims as it was during this journey that our Prophet SAW had the glimpses of wonders of paradise and torture of hellfire, along with the gift of Salah (obligatory prayers) which was granted during this journey.
Apart from these, there are many other lessons that we can learn from it.This miraculous journey is very significant and has a direct impact on daily lives of Muslims.
It Was During This Journey That Our Prophet SAW
Had The Glimpses Of Wonders Of Paradise And Torture Of Hellfire,
Along With The Gift Of Salah (Obligatory Prayers)
Which Was Granted During This Journey.
Life of Prophet Muhammad SAW before Isra and Mi'raj
In order to fully grasp the significance of this journey, we should appreciate the circumstances leading to this miraculous trip, try to understand its implications on the life of the Prophet SAW and subsequently of the whole ummah.
According To The Majority Of Reports,
The Journey Took Place Roughly About Nine Years
After The Beginning Of Revelation.
These were not easy times for Prophet SAW for despite devoting all his time inviting people towards Islam, only a handful had responded to his call. Leaders of Makkah were brutal in their retaliation tactics against Islam and their torture of Prophet's companions was a source of constant agony for him SAW.
During This Time, Prophet SAW Had Two Main Supporters
His Wife, Khadijah RA Who Was A Source Of
Constant Moral And Financial Support For The Prophet
And His Uncle Abu Talib, Who Although Never Embracing Islam Himself
Was The Source Of Protection For Prophet SAW Within The Community.
Khadija RA passed away during this year shortly followed by Abu Talib which snatched emotional as well as physical support from Prophet SAW. It is important to elaborate on the role of these two people in Prophet SAW's life to feel the full impact of suffering our beloved Prophet went through.
Role Of Khadija RA in Prophet Muhammad SAW's Life
Khadija RA was a pillar of support for Prophet SAW during the first years of revelation. She was the first woman who embraced Islam, and gave her unconditional, unquestioning and unwavering support to the Prophet in his attempt to spread the message. She was a very noble and dignified person and Prophet SAW often turned to her for wisdom and advice; He SAW often relied on her insight and opinions, which time and time again proved to be true.
She Also Was A Source Of Moral, Emotional,
And Financial Support For Her Husband.
It is a known fact that she was one of the wealthiest business-owners in the arabian peninsula when she married prophet saw, and that she subsequently spent all her wealth in the path of allah swt to the point she passed away without anything in her possession.
So Outstanding Was Her Moral Character
That Before She Passed Away,
She Received The Glad Tidings Of Her Abode In Paradise.
Very Few People In The History Of Islam
Have Received Such High Spiritual Status.
Therefore, it is not hard to imagine what a devastating impact her death had on the life of Prophet SAW. It left a void in him that no one was able to replace; even years after her death, the Prophet SAW used to grieve over her loss.
The death of Khadija RA was shortly followed by the death of Abu Talib. With no one left to support the Prophet and grant him protection, Quraysh tribe was free to persecute him SAW and the Muslim community as never before.
He SAW Was All Alone Emotionally, And Broken Financially
At This Point He Had No Means Or Status In Society
He Was Devoid Of Emotional Support
And His Attempts To Spread Islam Bore No Results.
Prophet SAW visited the nearby city of Taif to preach the message of Islam and to seek asylum from the Meccan oppressors, but he was mocked, attacked and chased out of town.
Ridiculed by society and labelled a liar, possessed, and a madman, he was all alone during these difficult trials and tribulations. It is not hard to understand why this turbulent period of his life was referred to as the Year of Sadness or 'Aam al Huzn.
The Heavenly Journey
It was during these trying times, when circumstances had reached such low levels, almost beyond normal human endurance, that Allah SWT sent Angel Jibrael to invite the Prophet SAW to the most wondrous journey that anyone on earth had ever been to.
The Trip Was A Mercy And Support From Allah,
To Let Him SAW Know Who
The Real Director Of Events Was, In Order To
Ease His Suffering And To Reveal Things
Which Prophet SAW Had Believed In His Heart,
But Never Seen With His Eyes.
Much of the details of the journey are so stupendous that it requires total and utter faith. None of us will ever see even a fraction of what the Prophet SAW witnessed. For example, we all believe in the existence of angels however none of us have ever seen them. Similarly, all Muslims believe in paradise and hellfire, without having seen these places.
Based on our understanding of physics, the concept of someone traversing the seven heavens and conversing with unseen beings defies all known logic; therefore it has been debated whether this journey actually took place, or whether it was a mere vision. This is where the reality of faith in the unseen comes in.
We Need To Remind Ourselves That Our Creator
Is The Inventor Of All Things.
He Can Create Life Out Of Nothing;
He Created The Galaxy In Its Complex And Perfect Order;
He Created The Smallest Bacteria
With Such Perfection Down To Its Miniscule Details
That We Cannot Ever Replicate.
Therefore, we must remember that things such as physics, dimensions, space, time and distance are creations of Allah, and by His Supreme command all these laws can be changed and suspended. Isra and Mi'raj transcended all these concepts as we understand them on earth.
Therefore, The Majority Of Scholars Believe
That This Journey Happened Physically,
With The Body And Soul Of The Prophet SAW.
What Is Isra?
Prophet SAW was standing near the Ka'bah one night when Angel Jibrael approached him with a beast described as being an animal between a mule and a donkey called Burraq.
Its speed was such that its hooves would touch where his eyes gazed. This part of journey known as Isra or the night journey took place between Mecca and Jerusalem.
Burraq bore Prophet SAW on its back and in an instant transported him to Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, a journey that at that time took 40 days. Here, at the third holiest site in Islam, Prophet SAW led all the Prophets in prayer.
Prophet SAW was able to recount the details of this journey, the place, building, and even the caravan that was on its way from Jerusalem, perfectly; this not only verified his claims and discredited the Quraysh mockery, but also strengthened Muslims in their faith.
What Is Miraj?
From Masjid Al-Aqsa, Prophet SAW went to the second part of his journey known as Mi'raj or ascension to the heavens.He SAW, accompanied by Jibrail AS ascended from heaven to heaven and was introduced to some previous prophets of Allah including Adam AS, the father of all mankind; Isa and his cousin Yahya; Yusuf; Idris; Harun and Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all.
On The Seventh Heaven, Prophet SAW Saw Al-Baytil-Ma'mur,
A Building That Is Identical Of The Holy Ka'bah In Makkah,
And Is Situated Exactly On Top Of The Earthly Ka'bah.
At Any Given Time There Are 70,000 Angels
Making Tawaf Around It,
A Practice That Will Last
Till The End Of Time.
There, Prophet SAW met and exchanged greetings with his father and the friend of Allah, Ibrahim AS.
At Al-Baytil-Ma'mur, Prophet SAW was offered a cup of wine and a cup of milk and was asked to choose between the two. Prophet SAW chose milk and at this Jibrail remarked that Prophet SAW had chosen fitra, nature, over artificial and thus he and his followers will be on the natural religion of Islam.
Prophet SAW Witnessed The Magnificence Of Paradise
Which Is Promised To The Followers Of Truth
He SAW Was Also Shown Hellfire And
The Horrific Tortures Which Await
Those Who Perpetrate Corruption On Earth.
He SAW related to us the tortures specific to some crimes such as backbiting, adultery, usurping the money of orphans and eating riba; things that we commonly indulge in and need to be warned against in strictest words.
Finally, Prophet SAW Ascended To Sidrat Ul Muntaha
The Boundary Beyond Which No One Can Cross
At This Point, Angel Jibrail Parted
From Prophet SAW And
He SAW Went On Alone To Meet His Lord
Allah SWT
It is not known in which form the Prophet SAW beheld Allah SWT. There is speculation on whether Prophet SAW saw Allah in His true form or whether he saw the light of Allah. However, such details do not make a difference in the overall lesson and wisdom that we can gain from Isra and Mi'raj.
What Is Important However Is That
During This Meeting,
The Ummah Of Muhammad SAW
Was Given Gifts Of Mercy
Previously Unknown
To Any Nation.
The Mercy Of Allah
Prophet SAW received three gifts which displayed the mercy of Allah during Isra and Mi'raj.
Salah (prayer):
Prior to Isra and Mi'raj, salah was known in a different form than what Muslims observe. The form of salah as we know today was revealed to the Prophet during his meeting with Allah SWT beyond the seventh heaven. Originally it was prescribed to be observed fifty times a day for Muslims.
On his return from Sidrat ul Muntaha, Prophet SAW passed by Musa AS who persuaded him that his followers would not be capable of fulfilling this task and to ask Allah for reduction. Prophet SAW returned to Allah a few times and each time it was reduced by 10 in number until Allah ordained five prayers during the day and equalled them in reward to fifty. Thus, the second pillar of Islam was established in the heavens.
End of Surah Al-Baqarah
The final verses of Surah al-Baqarah illustrate the mercy of Allah and a gift to all believers, and were revealed during Isra and Mi'raj:
"To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth. Whether ye show what is in your minds or conceal it, Allah calls you to account for it. He forgives whom He pleases, and punishes whom He pleases, for Allah has power over all things.
The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believes in Allah, His angels, His books, and His apostles."We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His apostles."
And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the end of all journeys." On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which You did lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear.
Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith.†(2: 284—286)
During Isra and Mi'raj, Allah SWT promised that He will forgive the sins of true believers even if they are major sins.
As Long As A Believer Doesn't Associate
Anything With Allah,
He Is Promised Forgiveness
From His Lord SWT.
Lessons from Isra and Mi'raj
Isra and Mi'raj holds a lesson for every believer until the Day of Judgment. It is a milestone in the journey of Iman for every believer; to believe in the unseen and to have faith that Allah is sufficient for us.
Through Isra And Mi'raj,
The Followers Of Prophet Muhammad SAW
Have Been Given A Glimpse
Of What Awaits Them In The Hereafter,
And What Exists In The Dimensions Beyond Our Own.
We should remember that this journey happened at a time of extreme adversity during the Prophet's life and despite all the hardships, he remained steadfast and patient. Although the circumstances around him were shaking, his faith was never shaken; hence he was rewarded with this wonderful journey.The lesson for us is that
Whenever We Are Facing Adversity
Feeling Weak, And Oppressed
And All Our Means Have Been Cut
We Should Go Back To Allah
Rely On Him Alone
Have Faith, And Be Patient.
The believer relies totally and utterly on Allah and no one else, and deals with his situation in the way that was taught to him by Prophet Muhammad SAW. We overcome our calamities and tribulations by going closer to Allah, by crying to Him SWT and surrendering ourselves totally to His will, while at the same time believing that whatever is happening is the best for us.
We Have To Remember At All Times That
We Are In This World Which Is A Testing Ground.
Allah Constantly Tests Us,
And Our Belief And Practice Is Reflected
By The Way We Deal With These
Tests And Tribulations.
In the face of oppression, the Prophet SAW dealt with his oppressors with kindness, mercy and forgiveness.
While It Is Easy To Be Generous To A Generous Person,
And Kind To Other Kind People;
The True Test Of Our Character And Faith
Is When We Are Able To Treat Our Oppressors
With Kindness And Generosity,
In The Manner Demonstrated By The Prophet SAW.
Thus, a true believer does not let oppression by others bother him; neither does he get angry with the situation or circumstances. He demonstrates absolute self control to the point he does not even raise his voice in anger.
We Have Been Taught By The Prophet SAW
That When We Are Oppressed,
We Should Not Retaliate
But Instead Remain Silent
And Only Turn To Allah For Help.
Reminder from Isra and Mi'raj
Instead of questioning our situation, we should always question ourselves about what Allah expects from us;
Before We Experience Victory,
We Will Be Tried.
We should remain focused and decide which path to take while keeping our ultimate goal of reaching jannah in mind. This will prevent us from straying from the right path when we are tested.
If we understand Islam, we will understand that no situation is too tough for us to handle as believers. We should face all situations with patience and contentment while relying on Allah to show us the solution.
Isra And Mi'raj Is Not A Fiction,
It Is An Experience And Journey
That All Of Us Should Spiritually Perform.
When Allah showed Prophet SAW the extent of His power and command, he SAW came back more calm and reliant on Allah; and this is what he SAW communicated to his followers.
The Lesson In It For Us Is That
Muhammad SAW's Lord Is Our Lord
Time, Space And Distance Are All His Creations
Similarly Paradise And Hellfire
Are Not Abstract Concepts
But Real Places Which Physically Exist
And One Of Them Is Our Final Destination.
We have been given sufficient descriptions of each to decide for ourselves which path we should take, and Allah has shown his infinite mercy and compassion to help us choose the right path.
Compared To The Nations Of
The Previous Prophets And Messengers,
It Is Clear That The Nation Of Prophet Muhammad SAW
Has Been Showered With More
Mercy And Compassion Than Any Other.
Allah has lightened the burden on us, and multiplied the rewards of our deeds. No other nation has enjoyed this extent of forgiveness and forbearance from Allah SWT. In fact, such is the mercy of Allah on the followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW that He SWT has gone on to explain the process of recording of our deeds. The Messenger of Allah SAW said that Allah, the Glorious said:
"Verily, Allah Ta'ala has ordered that the good and the bad deeds be written down. Then he explained it clearly how (to write):
He who intends to do a good deed but he does not do it, then Allah records it for him as a full good deed, but if he carries out his intention, then Allah the exalted, writes it down for him as from ten to seven hundred folds, and even more.
But if he intends to do an evil act and has not done it, then Allah writes it down with him as a full good deed, but if he intends it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Is this not proof of Allah's boundless generosity to us, and sufficient encouragement for us to remain strong in the path of Allah? Most of all we have been given Salah, the most intimate way of worshipping and communicating with Allah which none of the previous nations were blessed with.
Therefore, Regardless Of When Isra And Mi'raj
Actually Took Place, We Should Celebrate It
And The Real Celebration Is To Honour
The Message And Purpose Of The Journey
And To Live According To The Lessons
It Holds For Us.

thank you...I needed A great laugh....hahaha
How about the hustle or energy big. Like the Jeff Foster's and Reggie Evans of the world
And, to top it all off, he is unquestionably far and away the best "decider" in NBA history.
If Miami does indeed win it all this year, my guess is that there will be efforts made on the CBA to prevent other "decisions" being made by players, leaving Lebron the all-time ultimate decider and arguably one of the most influential players ever to play the game, on a par with Chamberlain, Russell, and Jordan.
Scoring-oriented combo guard: Nate Robinson, Jamal Crawford, Jerryd Bayless
Penny Hardaway was close.
Somewhere between just 3 being ball handler, wing, and big, all the way to 5 factorial if I am remebering my statistics courses correctly, depending on the coach and how strictly the positions are interpreted, though a point center seems unlikely (except when Magic led the Lakers to the win in the Finals playing virtually every position on the court during different parts of the series).
O'B even had Hibbert playing sg/stretch 5 frequently, so just about anything goes.
sorry if i'm off subject but.....
All I know is people saying the 2 and 3 position is the "wings". This is not right, for example people saying we have plenty of wings this off season or saying DJ is a wing. No, DJ is not a wing, he is a 2 gaurd, thats it. A wing is one that Plays the perimeter and is actually a theat out ther. Gaurds, like DJ and SF like Wilson Chandler is not wings. So, to some of you ...please stop.
Next subject: replying to some of you speaking of the new CBA messing teams up.
I don't think the new CBA will cause teams to lose players unwillingly.
The cba may have a hard cap. But, the hard cap will prolly be close to the current luxury level of 65 to 75 million. Also, The salaries will prolly be reduced around 8 to 10%.
The big 3, if they want to stay together will simply redue their contracts to make it work. For other teams in the league that have bloated contracts and the team / player has mutual expectations, those contracts will be redone. For teams that have a bad contract, bloated with lack of production, they will fall under a type of amnesty clause that will release them from Cap Hell (would have been nice to have that years ago with Oneal, Murphy, Dunleavey and Ford). So, I predict the CBA as a hole will not affect teams that don't want to be affected, which means...get use to seeing the Heat in the run for championships for the next Decade, If the big 3 wants it.

Hold on, there's a difference between "He ran the offense" and "They ran the offense through him".
We used to run our offense through Jermaine O'Neal, but he didn't run the offense like a point guard.
Toni Kukoc was a point forward that was a PF.

Alaska SWF's Single-Family Investment Attempts to go Public
Historically, the single-family rental business was in the realm of private and individual investors. Times have changed as institutional investors seek out opportunities to increase yield for themselves and clients. Firms like the Blackstone Group and Colony Capital allocated massive amounts of capital to the single-family property market.
In July 2012, up in Juneau, the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC) allocated US$ 600 million to pursue a single-family property investment strategy. At the time, the strategy was introduced by Jay Willoughby, the incoming chief investment officer. Under the special opportunity silo of the APFC's asset allocation, the Alaskan sovereign fund partnered with American Homes 4 Rent. The founder of American Homes 4 Rent is B. Wayne Hughes, the founder of Public Storage.
American Homes 4 Rent and the APFC created the Alaska Joint Venture. The APFC contributed US$ 600 million while American Homes 4 Rent contributed US$ 150 million for a 20% interest.

Disable power Management in CentOS 6.4
I am trying to disable all power management in CentOS 6.4. I turned off the screen saver, disabled acpi and apm in grub.conf. Is there anything I am missing.
I am running some video software and I noticed that I get rendering time errors if I leave the PC alone on an all-night test.
I even went as far as to create a little mouse mover program in Java that moves the mouse one position back and forth every couple of minutes and I still see problems.
When I am there running the exact same test and I am using the machine I do not see these problems. That is why I am thinking that I am missing something as far as power management is concerned.
Don't forget about udev
is this a laptop ?
and what is happening ?
is it auto going to a black screen after 10 min. or what ?
the settings are on the gnome2 screensaver gui
also centos is not supporting 6.4 any longer
only 6.5 is supported
time to upgrade
I did not disable udev. I will have to do that. This is a monster PC with 18 cores. It has 64 gigs of ram.
Eventually it is going to be a remote PC connected to a specialized monitor with remote access only. This is why I want to disable all power management functions.
I did disable the screen saver but I know I am missing something.
I will look into how to disable udev.
Thanks for the replies.
the normal
system / preferences / power management
and set everything to "never"
yes and did that
thanks for the reply. I did disable the power management via system->preferences->power management and I still thing I am missing something due to the fact that when I am on the PC I am able to run a test and I do not have rendering time exceeded errors. If I leave it alone then I get the errors. Crazy huh?
I am going to try a couple of things but I feel that I am almost there.
In some cases you may wish to look at bios options.

Cracked Cake, Can I Still Cut It Into A Number?
Decorating By Alyssa24 Updated 5 Sep 2013 , 6:42am by KateCoughlin
AHi, I just baked four sheet cakes (11X15X2) One of the cakes cracked, from one end to the other. I really don't want to bake another cake so I'm trying to salvage this one. I'm creating a number birthday cake, 27. It will be a four layer cake with buttercream filling, covered in fondant.
Even thou the cake is cracked, will I still be able to cut it into a number ( 2 or 7)? Can I use buttercream to repair this or will I have to bake another sheet cake?
Please help, as I need to finish this cake by Friday morning. Thanks :(
I don't see why not, I have patched broken cakes with no problem, just put some ganache or buttercream on the break, and stick em together.
What kind of cake? If its very tender (i.e. white vanilla cake) and prone to crumbling it will be trickier. I say before trying to carve the numbers you glue this crack back together. I'm assuming you already removed the cake from the pan. Lay down a large sheet of plastic wrap down on a cookie sheet first and gently place the cracked cake on top. Use a cake flipper or several large spatulas if you have them. Go ahead and pipe whatever frosting you'll be using inside the crack and adhere the fracture back together. Now use the plastic wrap as a bandage and wrap the cake up tightly but still keeping it in the shape. Use additional plastic wrap to cover the entire cake and then a layer of tinfoil on top of that. Pop the cake (still resting on the pan for support) in your freezer and let it firm up. This will probably take at least 30 minutes. I do this normally to all my cakes. I bake them ahead of time; cool; wrap in plastic then tinfoil; and freeze for days/weeks. Just note - you are wrapping up the naked cake...not the cake and the pan together.
Chilled cakes are much easier to work with and carve. If you let it sit in the freezer more than 1-2 hours you will need to let it come back up to temperature a lil, You don't want to try to cut/carve a cake that's frozen solid. Just get it to a firm chilled state.
Good luck!!

Rhode Island's Catholic Bishop Attempts Another Delay Tactic
Forgetting that justice delayed is justice denied, Thomas J. Tobin, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence is trying to persuade the Rhode Island Senate to delay action on marriage-related legislation. Here is the bishop's Hail Mary pass:
In light of the historic deliberations of the U.S. Supreme Court on same-sex marriage, it would be appropriate for the General Assembly of Rhode Island to defer any action on this critical issue for the time being. Any legislative action that is taken now could very well be rendered completely null and void by the decision of the Supreme Court expected this June. It is likely that the Supreme Court will decide this matter for us, one way or another. Let's wait to see what the highest court of the land says about this issue which is so very important to many Rhode Islanders
Earlier this month Bishop Tobin and National Organization for Marriage in Rhode Island shockingly decided to back Sen. Ciccone's just-introduced referendum bill (S708). The bill, called "sloppy and cowardly" by NOM-RI's ally MassResistance, would send a referendum to voters asking whether the state constitution should be amended to remove the gender limitations on marriage as well as roll back certain anti-discrimination protections for gays and lesbians.
At the time, Bishop Tobin called the referendum bill "an eminently reasonable approach". This week, his tune has clearly changed. The only explanation can be that he's learned that the Senate Committee on Judiciary, which heard 14 hours of public testimony on the marriage equality and referendum bills last week, has a different view of what is "eminently reasonable".
Shorter Bishop Tobin: If you think you'll lose, delay, delay, delay!
Rhode Islanders United for Marriage has responded to Bishop Tobin's proposal for delay with the following statement from Rev. Gene Dyszlewski, chair of the Religious Coalition for Marriage Equality:
With all due respect to His Excellency, neither case before the Supreme Court has any bearing on the decision of the General Assembly to make marriage available to all loving, committed couples in Rhode Island," said Rev. Dyszlewski. "This is another in a long string of delay tactics — seeking to stall the strong momentum of marriage equality legislation — by those who oppose allowing all families to access the dignity and respect of marriage. The fact is, no decision issued by the Court will render 'null and void' any state legislature's ability to grant the freedom to marry to all its citizens.
We respect the Senate process, and are appreciative the Judiciary Committee is continuing to consider the testimony from last week's unprecedented 12-hour long hearing. We are still engaging in thoughtful and productive conversations with all members of the Senate.
This is a holy week for many Rhode Islanders, as we gather around Seder tables and paschal candles. I, for one, will pray for our elected leaders in the General Assembly, that they may hear God's call to love one another, as He loves us.
In late January, the Rhode Island House passed the marriage equality bill (H5015/S38) by an overwhelming majority of 51 to 19. The Senate Committee on Judiciary has not yet scheduled a vote on the bill.
The marriage equality bill enjoys broad popular support, including from 60.4 % of Rhode Island voters, Gov. Lincoln Chafee, the NAACP, Congressman Cicilline, Rhode Island city mayors, Catholic Rhode Islanders, Republican Sen. James Doyle, Republican Sen. Nick Kettle, Republican Sen. Dawson Hodgson, the Rhode Island Psychological Association, Rhode Island business leaders and tourism boards, the Jewish Community Relations Council, the Board of Rabbis of Greater Rhode Island, the RI Bar Association, the RI State Council of Churches, and the Right Reverend W. Nicholas Knisely, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island.

Jamarcus Hairston - G.W. Senior Forward
Coach Ron Parson's first season in Danville has gone pretty well. The Eagles finished the season 25-5 after falling in the 4A state semifinals while relying on a number of talented players but at the top of that list is Hairston.
The Conference 24 Player of the Year has been a double-double machine and has increased his level of play in the postseason. At 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds he garners much of the opponents' attention so by simply moving around in the post, he creates space for his fellow Eagles on the offensive end of the floor. He averages 15 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 blocks a game.
Jamarcus may go the prep school route but he is currently being recruited by Winston-Salem State and Johnson C. Smith in Charlotte, NC. Parson says, "He's talented, buying into what we're doing. He's a team captain. He sets a good example and he has all the tools and we have all kinds of confidence in him."

Hello. I had lower eyelid surgery 5 weeks ago. I now have a dark brown bruise where I had really bad red/purple bruising. How long will this last?
Is Brown Bruising Normal Five Weeks After Lower Eyelid Surgery? (photo)
Doctor Answers 9
Dark brown discoloration after bruising
Dark brown discoloration after bruising caused by surgery, injections, trauma, or any other reason. It is caused by iron staining of the skin. Topical products such as bleaching creams are not usually helpful in treating this condition but Q-switched lasers are highly effective. Most of the discoloration usually clears after 1-2 treatments. The risk of Q-switched laser treatment is very low as long as appropriate eye protection is used.
Bruising five weeks after blepharoplasty is most unusual.
I'm a bit surprised of what I see in the photograph. I wonder if you had a small hematoma of the lid that would create prolonged discoloration. Resolution really determines on the cause of the problem the first place.

May Need More Time
Thank you for your photo. It is not uncommon to have bruising several weeks after surgery. This brownish bruising may take several more weeks to resolve. Please be patient.

Bruising after lower eyelid surgery
This can occasionally happen after lower bleph, especially if you had significant bruising post op. You can be reassured that it will go away, the area where the bruise has collected is where there is an attachment/sling to the underlying bony orbit which is why the bruising has not dropped any further.
Hemosiderin deposition causing discoloration
This is uncommon but occasionally significant bruising can lead to deposition of the hemosiderin from the broken blood cells into the surrounding tissue. This "staining" causes a deep brown hue that can persist for months. Fortunately, it will ultimately resolve with time. Be patient and talk to surgeon about camouflage makeup that the aesthetician can show you how to apply.
Bruising after a lower eyelid blepharoplasty
Bruising is expected after eyelid surgery and it usually resolves after 7 to 10 days. Persistent bruising and discoloration of the soft tissues can occur. There is really no magic cure as this will ultimately resolve on its own. Occasionally alternating warm and cool compresses can help as well as on over the counter herbal product, Bromelean. The usual antibruising dose is 500 mg twice a day between meals.
Dark colour after #lowerlid surgery
Thank you for your question. You likely had some bruising port-op and in itself, bruising can take several weeks to disappear. Occasionally, the hemoglobin found in the red blood cell metabolized into hemosiderin, an iron component, and this can give a greying hue to the skin for several weeks, sometimes a few months. In my experience, it ultimately resolves but one has to be patient. In the interim, make-up is likely your best solution. Hope this helps! Best regards, Toronto plastic surgeon and eyelid specialist, Dr. Marc DuPere 416.929.9800
It is possible for a bruise to permanently stain the tissues.
Having said that, in 20 years of doing eyelid surgery, I have never seen this in the eyelid area. I have seen bruises persist for 6 weeks. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
Is Brown Bruising Normal Five Weeks After Lower Eyelid Surgery?
If you had a hematoma or fluid collection in this area along with the bruising apparent through the skin, this may take quite a while to improve. It is a bit difficult to assess this with a picture alone, and I would recommend you return to your surgeon for a followup exam. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Washington, D.C. Although nearly three-quarters of retailers are exploring mobile strategies, 62% have either not yet begun or are only in the early stages of planning their mobile strategy, according to a recent Shop.org survey.
In response, the National Retail Federation (NRF) has unveiled a virtual roadmap for retailers to help enhance their marketing, e-commerce and store operations via mobile.
NRF's Mobile Retailing Blueprint also has a special section on implementation planning and technology. It also explains multiple secure mobile payment processes that can provide customer convenience and lower processing costs.
"The Mobile Retailing Blueprint is the definitive document to help retailers adopt a mobile strategy that makes sense for their organization," said NRF president and CEO Matt Shay. "As smartphones and other mobile devices become more technologically advanced, so too will retailers with the help of this collaborative research. We believe it will serve as a window for industry standards that will guide retailers' adoption of mobile for years to come."

Alan Lee started his own business to import solar panels from Asia for sale in Southern California at a time when the economy and the promise of solar power were growing.
Lee quickly saw that the middleman in this industry would become obsolete, so he formed a partnership with a Chinese solar panel manufacturer. In 2009 he incorporated EcoSolargy in Irvine with himself as the sole employee. The name combines ecology, solar and energy.
His concept was to provide all the services and supplies that businesses and small utilities need to go solar.
Lee's experience is an example of how a company can succeed by adjusting to customer needs in a challenging climate, when many solar panel manufacturers and brokers struggled or closed.
As a UC Irvine graduate in environmental health and science, Lee says he was more interested in expanding the use of solar energy than in making big profits. "I was a consultant for Tetra Tech, a publicly traded company in Pasadena, managing large projects. I loved working with people more than crunching numbers, and I simply wanted to bring this product (solar panels) to market," he said. "I wasn't married at the time so it was a good match for me."
EcoSolargy now has 25 employees. The company recently bought its own building, almost 5,000 square feet in Irvine, for $1.1 million using a federally guaranteed loan based on Lee's commitment to add 11 jobs. Citibank provided half the financing with a market-rate loan, Southland Economic Development Corp. in Santa Ana provided a U.S. Small Business Administration 504 loan for 40 percent and the company put in 10 percent, according to Robert Dodge of Southland.
"EcoSolargy is a good business that fits the needs of small and large businesses," Dodge said. "It can lower their electricity bills."
Lee also wanted to make his building a solar energy savings showcase for potential customers, so the company spent $200,000 on interior improvements, including a solar energy system.
"The reason we fell in love with this building is because it has a perfect roof," Lee said. "We have 60 solar panels on the roof to offset 80 percent of our electricity usage. Before we paid $2,000 a month for electricity, now (the bill is) $300 to $500."
Lee's strategy has been to develop complementary divisions within EcoSolargy. The company has grown into a wholesaler of solar panels, consultant to small solar utilities and adviser to commercial tenants and building owners that want to take advantage of solar tax credits to save money and reduce use of electricity generated from fossil fuels.
The wholesale division was the original company. "One lesson I learned the hard way came three years ago when there was a shortage of solar panels," Lee said. "Some people couldn't buy panels no matter how hard they tried. I could get some because of my relationship with the Chinese manufacturer."
After that problem, Lee added other suppliers of panels and of raw materials in China and Taiwan. "If I could do it over, I would take advantage of that crisis and tie up more panel manufacturing," he said.
In 2009, Lee created a second division to work with firms that wanted to develop small, solar-generation facilities. EcoSolargy would help them get permits and financing. For example, a Maryland farmer thought he could make more money selling solar-generated electricity to utilities than growing crops. Construction starts this month.
In 2012, EcoSolargy raised $150 million from wealthy foreign investors to expand this division.
The third division started in 2012.
"We educate building and business owners on the benefits of going solar, install the systems and get the tax credits," Lee said. "If they don't own the building, they can still buy the equipment if they have a long-term lease. These are light manufacturers, schools. What's ideal are buildings with a large enough footprint that doesn't use that much electricity. They may offset 80 percent to 90 percent of their electricity costs."
Although Lee expects most of EcoSolargy's growth to come in its utilities and commercial units, he also hopes to bring some solar panel manufacturing back to the U.S. "We're still researching that," he said. "Ninety percent of U.S. solar panel manufacturing has (closed) in recent years because of higher overhead and wages. Now much of the manufacturing is automated so I can save money compared to those older facilities."
Some potential clients want products made in the U.S., but the important factor is whether EcoSolargy can compete on price in a market that has had too much supply, Lee said, adding that he would have to locate the factory on the East Coast; California costs are too high.
"To me, saving money is secondary. For me it's primarily environmental," he said. "Still, I'm a businessman and a project has to make sense financially."

November brings us two eclipses in the month. Total solar eclipse will occur on November 13 and penumbral lunar eclipse on November 28, 2012. On November 13, residents of northeastern Australia will see the sun fully obscured by the moon, whose shadow will darken the sky for 2 minutes there on November 13. The only visible part of the sun during the total eclipse will be its glowing corona, or outer atmosphere, protruding around the moon's silhouette. Parts of New Zealand and Chile will see the sun partially obscured as the moon crosses the sky.
Slooh Space Camera will host free webcast, starting at 19:30 UTC. Slooh will also broadcast the month's second eclipse, a penumbral lunar eclipse on November 28.
(Source: SPACE.com: All about our solar system, outer space and exploration)
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth, Sun and Moon align, with the Earth situated in the middle. Penumbral lunar eclipse is when Earth is casting a shadow on the moon which never passes through the dark inner core of the Earth's shadow (the umbra) but only the hazy border (the penumbra).
November's penumbral lunar eclipse will be seen at the northern half of the moon, easily visible to the naked eye after most of the moon has dipped into the Earth's penumbra.
Observers in the Eastern United States will miss out on the lunar eclipse, as the moon will already have set there when the eclipse begins. But the rest of the country can watch at least part of it, with the duration of visibility longest for people on the West Coast and in Alaska.

CABALLER TARAZONA, Maria et al. A Standardized Amount Indicator by Equivalent Patient to Control Outpatient Pharmaceutical Expenditure, Spain. Rev. Esp. Salud Publica [online]. 2012, vol.86, n.4, pp.371-380. ISSN 2173-9110. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1135-57272012000400005.
Background: The outpatient pharmaceutical expenditure in developed countries represents a huge percentage of the total health budget, because of that, it is necessary to use tools aimed to control and guarantee an efficient use of these resources. Improving the current construction of the indicator of pharmaceutical expenditure in order to have a more adjusted tool of pharmaceutical expenditure control. Methods: We introduce the concept of "equivalent patient" in the standardization of outpatient pharmaceutical expenditure, considering in its design several socio demographic variables in order to supersede the previous model which just considered the "Co-payment status" for adjusting the outpatient pharmaceutical expenditure. We considered variables as age, sex, co-payment status and nationality to elaborate the concept of equivalent patient. Results: By applying the standardization method we obtained 160 groups of consumption with weights from 0,10 to 4,39 equivalent patients. Conclusions: We obtained a tool capable of improving the construction of Pharmaceutical Expenditure Indicators, which are essential for the design of measures aimed to stimulate the rational use of drugs. In a micro level of analysis, the new indicator is useful to establish economic incentives aimed to encourage good performance from physicians in the prescription field.

Has anyone ever been in anything like this? He says seeing him for an hour once a week isn't enough. Oh, and he also believes I need to be medicated.
I am very reluctant to do this outpatient thing. Basically, it sounds like I'm going to sit in a room with a bunch of other crazy people and be lectured to in condescending tones by a shrink for 3 hours a day.

Fat lumps after liposuction.......
It's tough to say what these "Fat Lumps" are without seeing and examining you. These may be lumps of fat that were missed when the liposuction was performed. They may actually be small seromas. I have also seen some patients have lipomas which become more obvious after liposuction. Lipomas are little fatty tumors which are made of a more firm/fibrous fat which doesn't typically come out with liposuction. These are sometimes uncovered when you have liposuction. But, as said, there is no way to know without examining you.

Albion ambassador Alan Mullery believes there are are too many foreign players in English football blocking the path of home-grown talent.
He says a re-think is required for England to prosper on the international stage.
Roy Hodgson's side went out in the group stages of the World Cup in Brazil without winning a game.
Former England captain Mullery said: "We've got to start doing things that we haven't done for years. The biggest problem we have got - and it's no disrespect at all to anybody - but we have so many foreign players in our country now that our younger people don't get an opportunity to come through as early as I did, as early as George Cohen did playing for Fulham, in the team by the time you are 17.
"Wayne Rooney is the only one over the last sort of ten years to get in somebody's first team at 17 years of age. We don't see that any more and yet many years ago it happened regularly.
"Now people in the Premier League are quite happy to go out and buy a player that is already renowned and they will spend £30 or £40 million on a player that is coming through but not necessarily English."

Washington State ballot initiative guru Tim Eyman vowed Wednesday to put even more pressure on municipalities he sees as dependent on automated ticketing revenue. Eyman is feeling good after voters on Tuesday rejected cameras by comfortable margins in three of three contests on Tuesday. Larger jurisdictions are now in his sights.
"For us, it's full steam ahead," Eyman told TheNewspaper. "I'm gung-ho to do a couple more cities and keep the ball rolling. I've never found a more effective way to lobby the legislature than to say, 'You either do it, or we're just going to pick you off one city at a time.'"

Soar past the second star on the right and find yourself joyfully lost in Neverland at the Colorado Ballet's world-premiere production of Peter Pan. "I've been thinking about doing Peter Pan for a long time, but it's a very hard story to tell because it's very poignant," says artistic director Martin Fredmann. "You have to tell it in a tender and fanciful way." His company's adaptation, he notes, is "a unique creation. It's touching, funny and wistful -- all the things that Peter Pan should be."
Using a musical score compiled from two lesser-known ballets, Sylvia and La Source, composed by Léo Delibes, the ballet's collaborative version of Peter Pan was co-choreographed by principal dancers Gregory K. Gonzales and Andrew Thompson.
"It's been a challenge for everyone, but it's a joyous and melodic score, and they're putting together an absolutely beautiful work," says Fredmann. "They both pulled out all their own stops."
Of course, J.M. Barrie's classic fantasy adventure about eternal childhood wouldn't be magical without lots of special effects, including fast-paced flying scenes, thrilling sword fights, frightening pirates and a ticking crocodile.
"We'll have as many as five characters flying at once in all different directions," Fredmann says.
Following select matinee performances, younger audience members can have their photos snapped with Tinkerbell and Captain Hook, take a short dance class, learn how to apply stage makeup and check out the scenery up close.
"It's an opportunity for the kids to get firsthand experience in what it's like to stage a production," explains Fredmann.
The limited-engagement run of Peter Pan begins tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Buell Theatre in the Denver Performing Arts Complex, 14th and Curtis streets, and continues weekends through April 25. Tickets range in price from $20 to $74 and can be purchased in advance at 303-893-4100, www.coloradoballet.com or any King Soopers location. Tickets to the post-matinee family event are $10.
"Everybody is fascinated with Peter Pan," says Fredmann. "I think it's going to be a major hit." -- Julie Dunn
A Real Cho-Down
Comic faces same-sex issues with fervor
Margaret Cho is coming, and she's got a big beef with our little cowtown. The notoriously outspoken comedian, who recently created a "same-sex wedding dress" through her High Class Cho clothing line and an equal-rights website at www.loveisloveislove.com, is known for her support of gay marriage. Because Colorado is home to same-sex-marriage opponent Marilyn Musgrave, the barbs should be swift and sure tonight and tomorrow during Cho's appearance at the Comedy Works. Cho's out for a brief series of summer appearances, gearing up for her "State of Emergency Tour," which will hit the 2004 presidential-election swing states in the fall. The comic was quoted as saying, "I don't know why conservatives are so against gay marriage. Income from ice sculptures alone could pay off the national debt."
Cho began her career at age sixteen in San Francisco. Although best known for her short-lived mid-'90s television series, All-American Girl, she has also released several live-performance CDs and DVDs, including 2003's Grammy-nominated Revolution. Tickets for her Comedy Works appearance are $35 to $40; call 303-595-3637 or visit www.comedyworks.com for showtimes and other information. On with the Cho! -- Kity Ironton
Improv Troupe Is Rolling
Get ready for a steady stream of raucous humor in Divided by Whoopee, an original sketch-comedy show by the Traveling Susans. "Our show is pretty edgy," says troupe member Michelle Miracle. "We're definitely not a straitlaced group."
Whoopee's stint at Jazz@Jack's will provide a testing ground for the Susans, who will ask audience members at tonight's performance to vote for their favorite skit. The six-member local act is culling material for its appearance at the Chicago Improv Festival in May.
"We're the first group from Denver to be asked to participate in the annual festival, which is really exciting," says Miracle. "Denver is really a lot more impressive comedically than most people know about. We're proud to be representing that."
"I guess our name is a self-fulfilling prophecy," she adds, "since we are actually traveling now."
The Susans will do their thing tonight and the next two Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. at Jack's, 1553 Platte Street. Admission is $12, and reservations are recommended. Call 303-906-4759. -- Julie Dunn

Nickel Creek flows on
There's a continuing argument among culture vultures: What matters most in the modern music world, art or craft? Others put sheer adventurousness on the pedestal. Finally, there are those who don't give a hoot about any of that and simply go for looks and sex appeal (someone's keeping Britney rolling in dough). An exception to this debate is Nickel Creek, which features all of the above. Okay, "sex appeal" might be stretching it, but wild-haired mandolinist Chris Thile does claim a certain cuteness factor. Whatever. All of Nickel Creek's fans agree on one thing: The trio -- plucky wonderboy Thile and the Watkins siblings, guitarist Sean and violinist Sara -- can play, and, as Creek producer Alison Krauss puts it, what they play is "just Nickel Creek music," a matchless and charming blend of progressive bluegrass and imagination.
Let Nickel Creek take you away tonight at the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place; rising star Mindy Smith opens the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $29; call 303-830-TIXS or log on to www.historicparamounttheatre.com. -- Susan Froyd

Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 1 Sell Rating, 6 Hold Ratings, 3 Buy RatingsConsensus Rating:Hold (Score: 2.20)Consensus Price Target: $38.89 (14.45% upside) Analysts' Ratings History for DCP Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE:DCP) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails9/1/2017Jefferies Group LLCReiterated RatingHold$35.00 -> $33.00Low8/17/2017Barclays PLCLower Price TargetEqual Weight -> Equal Weight$40.00 -> $37.00Low8/8/2017Royal Bank Of CanadaReiterated RatingSector Perform$40.00 -> $37.00Low8/8/2017Credit Suisse GroupLower Price TargetNeutral -> Neutral$44.00 -> $40.00High5/24/2017US Capital AdvisorsUpgradeHold -> OverweightLow2/18/2017FBR & CoSet Price TargetHold$36.00N/A2/16/2017Drexel HamiltonUpgradeHold -> Buy$47.00N/A2/15/2017Stifel NicolausBoost Price Target$47.00N/A1/24/2017Morgan StanleyInitiated CoverageSell$34.00N/A1/18/2017Citigroup Inc.DowngradeBuy -> Neutral$39.00N/A8/31/2016WunderlichBoost Price TargetBuy$35.00 -> $36.00N/A7/21/2016Ladenburg Thalmann Financial ServicesDowngradeBuy -> Neutral$36.00N/A6/21/2016Bank of America CorporationBoost Price TargetBuy$25.00 -> $36.00N/A5/10/2016Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
