I am a Nigerian and i am having this problem of not understanding the biography word Salatul Fatih in Islam, please if u have any knowledge on it inform me
I am not aware of Salatul Fatih.. can you tell us what you know of it.. perhaps we know it in different names..
Here it is:
Shaykh Faraz Rabbani has put it in his blog: http://www.seekersdigest.org/salat-a...him-peace.html
In case the above font is hard to read here it is : (From Shaykh Faraz Rabbani's blog)
O God bless our Master Muhammad (pbuh) who opened what had been closed, and who is the Seal of what had gone before, he who makes the Truth Victorious by the Truth, the guide to thy straight path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur.
Arabic Transliteration :
Allahumma salli ' wa sallim was baarik ala Sayyidina Muhammadilnil-fatihi lima Ughliqa wal khatimi lima sabaqa wan-naa-siril-haqqibil-haqqi wal-hadi ila Sirati-kal-mustaqima sal-lal-lahu 'alayhiwa 'ala alihi wa-ashaabihi haqqa qadrihi wa-miq-da rihil-'azim.
Salatul Fatihi (Selections from the Rimah of al Haj Shaykh Umar Futi)
This is a translation from one of the great pillars of the Ahmadi-Muhammadi-Ibrahimi-Hanifi-Tijani tariqa. He is Shaykh Umar Futi. He is known in Africa as one of the most renowned figures in Islamic History, for he was not just a Khalifa of Shaykh Ahmad Tijani. But also a jihadist He was responsible for at least 313 different jihads in Africa during the 1800's against the British, the French, and idolators.
The name of this book is al Rimah al Hizb al Raheem ala Nuhur al Hizb al Rajeem (The spears of the league of the Merciful thrown at the necks of the league of the accursed) This book is a defense of Tasawwuff, the Awliya especially, and the Tariqa Tijaniya in detail. Here is one of the sections from the chapter on Salatul Fatihi. I am giving it to you to share. You may post it if you like. This is just for information so no fitnah intended. For not much is known about the Tariqa Tijaniya compared to whats known about other turuq. So enjoy.
Please keep in mind that the only way to derive the FULL and COMPLETE blessing of this blessed durood is to be on the the Fuqara of Sidina Shaykh Ahmad Tijani, for he received it from the beloved hands of the Beloved Prophet with its rewards and its requirements. But you are welcome for we are all muslims living in the end of times. May Allah protect us and keep us in his safety. Salaam Alaikum. From sidi Muhammad Hasan.
The invocation of the Opener of what is locked Salatul Fatihi
As for the invocation of the Opener of what is locked (Salatul Fatihi) it has three degrees:
1.an external degree
2.an internal degree
3.the degree of the inmost (batin al batin).
I had intended to provide a complete explanation of it at this point, and to describe its marvels and its wonders. I was prevented from that, however by the fact that most people lack the maturity required for the acquisition of that kind of knowledge. I shall therefore content myself with mentioning some of what is available in Jawahir al Ma'ani, concerning the external degree only.Allah is the Source of enabling grace!
Our Shaykh (Shaykh Ahmad Tijani) has said:
"As for Salatul Fatihi when I asked the Prophet about it, he informed me first of all, that it is worth six hundred thousand invocation of blessing. I also asked him, 'For each invocation of blessing does one bird fly up toward heaven-that being the bird which has seventy thousand wings, as described in the hadith-or do six hundred thousand birds of that kind fly up each time, and is the reward of their glorification assigned to the invoker of blessing upon the Prophet?' The Prophet replied: "Six hundred thousand birds of that kind fly up each time."
As for the number of each bird's tongues, the Shaykh said: "The total number of its tongues is 1,680,000,700,000,000,000,000.000. Each tongue glorifies Allah in seventy thousand languages in a split second, and all of is reward is assigned each time to the invoker of blessing upon the Prophet. This applies to every Salatul Ala Nabi other than Salatul Fatihi. As for the latter, it gives rise, each time, to six hundred thousand birds of the kind described, as previously mentioned."
Our master, then went on to say: "When I asked the Prophet about the authenticity of the hadith:
The invocation of blessing upon him one time, is worth the reward of four hundred military campaigns and every campaign is worth four hundred Pilgrimages.
--The Prophet replied: "It is indeed authentic" I then asked the Prophet about the number of these campaigns: 'Are four hundred campaigns equivalent to a single offering of Salatul Fatihi, or are four hundred campaigns equivalent to each of the six hundred thousand invocations of blessing?' The Prophet answered: Salatul Fatihi is worth six hundred thousand invocations of blessings(salatul ala nabi), and each of the six hundred thousand invocations of blessing is worth four hundred campaigns'.
Then he went on to say: "If someone invokes it-Salatul Fatihi; one time, he will receive the reward he would receive if he offered every invocation of blessing ever offered in the universe, by all the jinn, human beings and angels, six hundred thousand times, from the beginning of time until the moment when he utters its invocation.
In other words, it is as if he has offered six hundred thousand times all the invocations ever invoked by al the invokers of blessing, angels, jinn and human beings, every one of those invocations being worth a spouse among the houries, and ten good deeds, and the erasure of ten bad deeds, and promotion by ten degrees. Allah and his angels will also bless him ten times for every invocation of blessing."
Shaykh Ahmad Tijani then said: "Once you have contemplated this with your heart, you will know that no act of worship is equal to a single offering of the Salatul ala Nabi, so how about someone who offers it many times?" What gracious favor he enjoys in the presence of Allah, and this is received EACH time the invocation is offered!

Salawat Al-Fatih (durood Fatih)
Salat Al-Fatih is held in particular esteem with the Tijaniyya Order. In English, it goes like this:-
O God bless our Master Muhammad (pbuh) who opened what had been closed, and who is the Seal of what had gone before, he who makes the Truth Victorious by the Truth, the guide to thy straight path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur.
the above transliteration is :-
Allahumma salli ' wa sallim was baarik ala Sayyidina Muhammadil
nil-fatihi lima Ughliqa wal khatimi lima sabaqa wan-naa-siril-haqqi
bil-haqqi wal-hadi ila Sirati-kal-mustaqima sal-lal-lahu 'alayhi
wa 'ala alihi wa-ashaabihi haqqa qadrihi wa-miq-da rihil-'azim.
From a Tijaniyya Order member
The history of Salatul al-Fatih is this. A man named Sayyidi Bekri went into khalwa for 40 years, asking Allah to give him the best Salatul-ala Nabiyya. It was written on the wall in light and he was told not to give it to others until the owner of it appeared.
Another version but no arabic
Allahumma Salli'Ala Sayyidina Muhammadil Fatihi Lima Ughliqa wal Khatimi Lima Sabaqa Nasril Haqqi Bil Haqqi Wal Hadi Ila Siratikal Mustaqim wa 'Ala Alihi Haqqa Qadrihi wa Miqdarihil Azim.
From another Tijaniyya Order member
The reason why it is the best Salat Ala Nabi, Because all other Salat ala Nabi end with Wa Sallim, or Tasliman. Salim means Peace. Mankind is the only thing that needs peace. Allah and his angels don't need peace. Salatul Fatih ends with Azeem in the dua. But after finishing the prayer ends with Al Hamdu Lillahi Rabbi Aalimeen. Another reason it is the best and has all those blessings as you described is because it praises The Prophet before the creation of Time and it praises him After creation. The opener and the seal. It is also said to be equivelant to reading the Quran 6 thousand times. Why? How? Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse said any Salawat Ala Nabiy especially Salawatul Fatih is the Quran of Quran. Salawatul Fatih is different from other because it is the Prayer of Allah and His Angels.
Another main reason why Salatul Ala Nabi is so Powerful and great is because Only Allah can send prayers on the Prophet(PBUH). When you say Allahuma Sali You have nothing to do with the prayer anymore it is just Allah and the Prophet(PBUH). The Tariqa Tijaniyya is based on Salawatul Fatih it is the main difference between the tijaniyya and other turuq. For this approval has come from the Prophet to Shaykh Ahmad Tijani in broad daylight.
From the Tijaniyya - abun-Nasr; an excert from:- And Muhammad Is His Messenger : The Veneration of the Prophet in Islamic Piety by Annemarie Schimmel, ISBN: 0807841285
The Salat (Durood) is considered to have merits of eight categories . He who reads it once is guaranteed the bless of the two abodes; also reciting it once atones for all sins and is equivalent to six thousand (6000) times all prayers of glorification to God, all Dhikr and Dua'a, long and short which have occurred in the Universe. He who recites it ten (10) times acquires recompense greater than that due to a Wali (saint) who lived ten Thousand years, but did not say it. Saying it once is equivalent to the prayers of all angels, human beings, and Jinn from the beginning of their creation to the time when it was uttered, and saying is a second time is like [i.e. equivalent to the recompense of the first] plus the recompense of the first a and the second, and so on.
A book of Salawat durood Shareef
It is because of this Durood that he was awarded the title Siddiq which means truthful.
Hadhrat Abul-Muqaraab says that a man's total sins will be washed away if he recites Durood Faith 40 times.
Hadhrat Shaykh Muhammad Bakari says that recitatin of Durood Faith once a day relieves the recitor from the fire of hell.
Hadhrat Syed Ahmed Hillam says the Durood Fatih was favourite routine of Hadhrat Shaykh Abul-Qadir Gilani.
The great Saints say that Durood Fatih is actual and real light.
Hadhrat shaykh Yusuf Bin Ismail says that this Durood shareef is the Greatest mystry of Allah ta'ala. It brings 100% success and happiness to the reciter
In fact this Durood brings prosperity and luck and solves all the naughty problems by the grace of Allah ta' ala.
When a man recites this Durood shareef angels of Allah ta'ala surround him, mercy covers him and peace starts descending on him.
Compiled by Muhammad Sajad Ali Qadiri-Noshahi
I just found this about Salatul Nariya, a durood which is in the same catogory as Salatul Fatih, Salatul Tunjina and many others...
As salamu aleykum, Dear respected ulema, I want to ask whether this Salawat called Durood Nariya contains shirk or wheter it is permisseble to recite it , Also i want to know what the source or origin of this salawat is? Also what to say to those various Duroods that are recorded at:
Erroneous and over exadurated virtues are attached to some of these Duroods as far as i can see.
Was salaam
اللهـم صل صلاة كاملة وسلم سلاماً تاماً على سيدنا محمد الذي تنحل به العقد وتنفرج به الكرب وتقضى به الحوائج وتنال به الرغائب وحسن الخواتم ويستسقى الغمام بوجهه الكريم وعلى آله وصحبه في كل لمحة ونفس بعدد كل معلوم لك
This is one of the supplications that were made up by the Sufis who go to extremes in their veneration of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The supplications that they concoct are typified by clear exaggerations and extreme tendencies in expressing love for the Prophet (peace be upon him), which sometimes reaches the level of major polytheism.
Then they take these supplications that they author with their own hands and recite them morning and night as ritual remembrances. Sometimes, they prefer chanting these remembrances of their own invention over the recitation of the Qurân. They confer upon these salutations written by their sheiks and they often name these salutations after their authors virtues higher than the virtues that are established for the recitation of the Qurân.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught his Companions how we are supposed to convey our salutations to him. They asked: O Messenger of Allah, teach us how to greet you and how to salute you in our prayers.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: Say: O Allah! Bestow your blessings upon Muhammad and upon his family as you have bestowed your blessings upon Abraham and his family. Indeed You are praiseworthy and glorious [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (3370) and Sahîh Muslim (405)]
As for the supplication in question, it can be rendered as follows:
O Allah! Bestow your most perfect blessings and your most perfect peace upon our master Muhammad, through whom difficulties and calamities are relieved and through whom needs are fulfilled, aspirations attained, and the best outcomes are achieved, and through whom the clouds deliver their rain by virtue of your Noble Countenance. And bestow such salutations and peace upon his family and his Companions. Do so every moment that lasts the duration of the flickering of an eye or the drawing of breath, and do so to the number of everything that is known to You.
There are different versions of this supplication, all of which are similar in their basic wording. It is a false supplication that contains heretical and false meanings.
The supplication alleges that the Prophet (peace be upon him) is the one through whom difficulties and calamities are relieved and through whom needs are fulfilled, aspirations attained
If the meaning intended here is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) is the one who does these things, then it is a clear case of major polytheism, since such attributes belong to Allah alone. Allah is the only one who brings about the best outcomes. In Allahs hands alone is the dominion. Allah alone is the dispenser of all good and of all providence. Allah alone removes calamities and difficulties and fulfills the needs of His creatures. Allah guides whom He pleases to a path that is straight.
If, by contrast, the meaning intended in the supplication is for the supplicant to seek Allahs beneficence in these matters through the virtue of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his status with Allah, then this is not polytheism. However, it still constitutes an innovation without any basis for it in Islamic Law.
We should know that seeking nearness to Allah by way of the Prophet (peace be upon him) can mean one of four things:
1. To seek nearness to Allah on the strength of ones own faith in the truth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the love that one has for him, and the obedience one shows in complying to the teachings that he brought. This is one of the greatest means of seeking nearness to Allah in our supplications.
2. Seeking nearness to Allah by having the Prophet (peace be upon him) supplicate on ones behalf.
This is like what `Akâshah b. Muhsin did when he went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: Beseech Allah that I will be among them.
To which the Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: You are among them. [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (6541) and Sahîh Muslim (220)]
The Companions used to go to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and request from him to supplicate on their behalf. In times of drought, they would ask him to beseech Allah on their behalf for rain.
However, after the Prophet (peace be upon him) died, no one would go to his grave and request from him to supplicate to Allah on their behalf. When they were stricken with drought, they turned instead to his uncle `Abbâs and asked him to beseech Allah for rain on their behalf.
This took place in the year of famine during `Umars reign. `Umar declared the following: O Allah, we used to seek nearness to You with the Prophet, and You , O Allah would send the rains. Now we will seek nearness to You with our Prophets uncle. So send the rains, O Allah! Then `Umar asked the Prophets uncle to supplicate on their behalf. [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (1010)]
3. Seeking nearness to Allah with the Prophets position and status with his Lord.
It is an innovation in religious practice for one to seek nearness to Allah in ones supplications by invoking Allahs love for the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the honor in which Allah holds him. No doubt, the status and honor of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with his Lord is great. However, the benefit of this is only for those whom he supplicated for while he was alive. After his death, we do not seek supplications from him, as we have already discussed.
Therefore, the supplication mentioned in the question is contrary to the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). It is unlawful to use that supplication, since its meaning, at worst implies polytheism, and at the least, is an innovation. May Allah protect us form both.
And Allah knows best.
I really have no idea since i just found it while surfing here on SF, i have it from this thread:
Maybe its from askimam since i have found this:
Anyway, the answer whoever has written it, seems very acceptable.
Was salaam
http://www.askimam.org/fatwa/fatwa.p...0911f0727fbfbfIs it true , can pray behind a tijani imam ? what is the hukm of the sunna about his Salat al-Fatih ?
Tijaniyya claims
Salat al-Fatih :"this prayer is equivalent to the recitation of all prayers of glorification to God (tasbih) that have ever been said in the universe, all Sufi prayers or remembrance of God (dhikr), every invocation (dua) long or short "
(Jawahir, p. 57.)
is it true , can pray behind a tijani imam ? what is the hukm of the sunna about his Salat al-Fatih ?
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Tijanis are a group who attribute themselves to Shaykh Abu Abbaas Ahmad bin Muhammad At Tijani (1150). It is a tasawwuf tariqah, just like the other turuq eg. qadariyyah, chistiyyah etc. We are unaware of any difference in belief between the Tijanis and others of the ahl as-sunnah (this is to the best of our knowledge). There are many senior Ulama who are connected to this tariq, especially amongst the muttaqi and pious Ulama of Mauritania. One of the greatest Mauritanian Ulama, Shaykh Muhammad Hasan al-Khadim (hafidha hu Allah) is also a Tijani.
Yes, there are those Tijani's who indulge in bid'ah (innovations); however this is the case with all turuq. This bida'h is not part of the tariq, rather the actions of such of those who associate themselves with it. It is for this reason that the senior Ulama who are involved in it stay far from these bid'aat (innovations) and openly speak out against them, as they have no part in tasawwuf and the Deen.
It will be permissible to pray salah behind a Tijani who holds beliefs which are in accordance with the beliefs of the Ahl as Sunnah.
As for Salah al-Fatih, there is no mention of it in Hadih. Tijanis belief that a Shaykh by the name of Sayyad Bakri retreated into solitude for 40 years and continued to implore Allah Taala to bestow him with the greatest Durood. When he looked up he found it written on the wall. This proves that this Durood is not based on any Hadith. While the wordings may be correct; erroneous and over exaggerated virtues are attached to it. It is thus best to confine oneself to the forms of Durood found in the Ahaadith as the greatest rewards are found in that which was practiced in the khair al quroon (time of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), Sahabah and Tabieen). For the correct forms of Durood we recommend the forty Duroods compiled by Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya R.A.

62 years on, the Battle for Palestinian Civil Rights in Lebanon is Joined
Franklin Lamb
Lebanon gives essentially no rights to her Palestinian refugees. Both Syria and Lebanon give them close to full civil rights including the right to work for the government, health care, education, social security, and own property. J Anyone visiting a Refugee camp anywhere and then sees one in Lebanon is shocked by the gap.

To the editor:
The last nail has been hammered into America's coffin while Obama and his comrades smirk over her grave. The 51 percent who voted for him will dance and sing with their proclaimed savior but they cannot see that their hope and confidence in their master is unavailing.
There are few things to admire these days about the bankrupt, socialists and culturally degenerate USA, but for the time being, one positive remains. The right to bear arms and to use deadly force when necessary to defend one's self and possessions.
The 2nd Amendment is a rare bit of sunlight in an ever darkening room. Government types will use the excuse of trying to protect the people from crime and maniacs as a reason to control ordinary citizens and their access to guns. When really it is the bureaucrats protecting their power and position. If as the bureaucrats say, society is populated by criminals and ruffians and the right to bare arms need be curtailed, then how can we trust government employees with weapons when they are drawn from the same corrupt societal pool?
Do not allow yourself to be fooled by a belief that liberal leftists hate guns. They do not.What they hate is guns in the hand of those who are not blindly following their ideology.
The following is taken from dear leader's book, The Audacity of Hope: "Implicit…in the very idea of ordered liberty," he writes, is "a rejection of absolute truth, the infallibility of any ideology or theology or 'ism' any tyrannical consistency that might lock future generations into a single unalterable course…" So much for the holy scriptures, individual rights and limited government. This is the outlook that drives modern liberals.
Those who voted to return this man to office did this nation a huge disservice and the mistake will become blatantly obvious even to you during the next four years.

Hi. I'm traveling to Wash DC with my 12 year old son to be a tourist.
I was thinking that I'd stay someone outside of the city (cheaper?) near the metro and travel in each day to see the sights.
I'm raw 5 months now, though I will eat cooked vegan when that's the best option.
So my questions are:
1. Where should I stay? Is it near a Whole Foods or a great raw restaurant where I can eat?
2. What restaurants should I try out? I can drive around for dinner. Even better if I can eat in the city, walking or metro from the tourist sites.

The Crown, a boutique hotel located in Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk, enjoys views over some particularly beautiful countryside. The picturesque village was build on a hill above the Stour and Box river valleys on the Suffolk/Essex border. The 120-foot tower of St. Mary's Church is a local landmark, featuring in the works of 18th century landscape artist, John Constable.
The surrounding Dedham Vale was immortalised by Constable, which is now designated as 'an area of outstanding natural beauty'. This Suffolk restaurant was re-opened, following a renovation in 2003, with a mission to provide good, tasty food, fine wine and a welcoming atmosphere, and it's done exactly that! The hotel was opened in 2008, and still feels as new and as fresh as it did back then!

Comment posted A83 closed in both directions by Robert Wakeham.
Now open again, apparently.
Robert Wakeham also commented
- One advantage of a fixed link would be that any government would find it difficult to charge tolls when all other bridge and tunnel tolls have been abolished.
- Careful, Jim – you'll enrage 'ferryman'.
- Scottish Citylink's response to why the 'Service Updates' section on their website doesn't mention the disruption caused by the A83 closure is to say that they think the road might reopen soon. In this weather, I somehow doubt that.
- I'm surprised that the disruption and extended journey times don't seem to be flagged on the West Coast Motors and Scottish Citylink websites, and it would be very useful to have an emergency timetable for the route south from Inveraray to Campbeltown (and from Tarbet to Glasgow?) to avoid passengers having to stand at bus stops in foul weather for goodness knows how long. Any chance of this, Citylink / West Coast?
I know that traffic gets glued up on the A82 diversion route between Tarbet and Ardlui due to the very substandard road, but even so it must be possible to predict the 'earliest delayed timings', surely? - Meaning?
Recent comments by Robert Wakeham
- McGrigor supports small scale hydro schemes but is concerned about lack of grid connectivity
If not 'bitter', then how about 'negative', 'petty', or just plain miserable?
Effective ways of providing energy for this country is an increasingly fraught subject, with government commitment to 'green' power leading to the perception that our politicians are swimming with sharks, and a proliferation of wind farms that are good for some sectors of the local economy but which are a major cause of price inflation.
And the Kintyre / Arran power emergency this spring served to highlight the fact that large scale wind generated electricity can be likened to a rough single malt – no use unless it's blended with other spirit to make it palatable.
I live in hope that SSE's Sound of Islay tidestream power project will prove more user-friendly – as are the hydro power plants described by Jamie McGrigor, as far as I can gather.
Here in mid Argyll we're being shown the next windfarm proposal – 25 turbines for Electricite de France above Brenfield, which would form a backdrop to Ardrishaig, and would be so close to the recently unveiled proposals by E.ON for up to 24 turbines above Inverneill as to be semi-detached.
That's up to 49MW plus up to 90MW, that would all presumably have to be 'blended' with power from elsewhere to make it digestible, and if anyone thought that 'fast breeder' only referred to a type of nuclear reactor, just look at the emerging cluster of wind farms south of Ardrishaig. - Argyll Flyer spotted going into Ardmaleish yard on Bute this afternoon
Doesn't the SPTE have a remit to co-ordinate public transport provision here? – maybe I'm imagining it, or maybe they're just pretending, or maybe they're only really interested in Strathclyde bus services and the Glasgow subway (on the basis that only a tiny proportion of voters use the Gourock ferries, and politics is all) - 31 hour shout Tobermory Lifeboat's longest ever, ending in joint operation with Oban lifeboat
The Oban Times reported on 6th June on the MAIB report on a similar incident last July when a small container ship rammed the Isle of Bute, and apparently legal action is ongoing. - Refloated cargo ship MV Fri Ocean escorted to Lynn of Lorne – and on into Oban
Not being a mariner, I wonder why – in this day and age of almost universal use of radar (and GPS?) for navigation – ships don't seem to be equipped with a proximity alarm, a bloody great klaxon fit to waken the dead, that is triggered if the boat closes with an identifiable hazard.
It would have to be capable of deactivation in harbour areas and, eg, places like the Corran Narrows – but would surely be invaluable, especially at night.
Maybe it would be seen as a dangerous threat to the need for proper watch keeping. - Auchindrain in crisis: facing paying off its two permanent staff
Considering how all the wind farm developers are so keen (and can clearly afford) to provide substantial funding to help local community ventures, this is surely a prime example of an exceptionally good local cause with national significance.

Or maybe, it was just a mistake. Yeah I know, boring.
To declare that a personal, inner experience gives certainty about the workings of the universe is to assign far too much value to one's subjective sense of conviction.
I'm not that arrogant.
The brain, marvelous instrument though it is, isn't infallible. It can misfire, seize or hallucinate, and it can do so in a way that's utterly indistinguishable from reality to the person experiencing it.
I don't see a problem. You just point reticule at the target or near the target while the target is still "marked" and press a button.
You do not need cover mechanics to do that - though it helps.
Powers system can be adapted for FPS to compensate for no cover mechanic.
Plus Tactical Pause Mode can throw you into 3rd person so you see the battlefield and target your powers and control your squad-mates.
There are/were FPS with tactical mode.
Maybe they'll go the "bullet time" route - when time slows down and you can do a lot in "split second" - that is use your powers.
But I do not think they will do a FPS. They did the GoW type of shooter - going FPS will be a step back - at least for console gamers.
Would not feel right in First Person.

I for one welcome the lack of chesthigh walls coverbased shooting. Its retarded at best.
It actually makes my blood boil that some people have this opinion. I just really, really don't see the appeal of the recent COD games. How can they not see they are just being completely and utterly milked for cash? Like COD:MW1 made leaps and bounds in the FPS Genre, it had an appealing, fun and interesting story and the game mechanics were TIGHT and just utterly perfected for it's time... But every COD game after it they've not tried to do anything new, and only made the mechanics and story far, far worse.
But alas, that is the thing about opinions I guess, everyone is different >.< It still makes me angry though >.>
Also if ME4 tries to go more FPS focused, then I'll go from a; "Maybe I'll buy if the Story looks really good" .. To; "Fuck that shit". The best aspects in Mass Effect (And this is what fucked 3 up) has always been the; Story, Characters and Setting. The only 'Real' FPS game to have an interesting story was COD:MW1 and it hasn't ever been replicated since. Mass Effect is an RPG/Space Opera first, FPS/Cover-Based Shooter second. To swap those two around would just destroy the Series completely, even after its decline in awesomeness because of ME3.

[Osgeld] built himself a binary clock. He didn't take the time to explain his project, but he did post beautifully hand-drawn schematics and pictures of the circuit (PDF) as he was building it. We've seen clock projects that use mains frequency as the clock source and that's the route that [Osgeld] chose for his build. He started with a 9-12V AC wall wort as a power input. From there it's just a matter of using a bridge rectifier to convert to DC, then a 7805 linear regulator to establish a steady 5V rail. A resistor and a couple of diodes allow him to pull the 60 Hz frequency off of the incoming AC, and then use a combination of 4000 and 7400 logic chips to count the pulses and keep track of the time.
Pretty nifty. Similar method to how I measured frequency and PF through the transformer powering my power meter.
Osgeld sure used the whole palette of useful devices out there: 7805, 7400, 4000, hehe. A great idea to get the tact from the mains!
That is probably the neatest hand drawn schematic I've seen. Well done.
Binary Clock Noun * S: (n) an example of a perfectly usable device rendered unusable. This extremely easy to create device is typically built in order to impress people, look smart, and more importantly, hard core.
See also: fitting square wheels on a car (making it unusable), web/wifi devices that need attendance to at least collect the product created (e.g. toaster, coffee machine), etc. -
thanks graph paper and a ruler makes it pretty quick n easy, and mi6x3m just for completeness I even used a shift register as one of the frequency dividers :)
nicely done Osgeld
Osgeld, haha I suppose it was the 74HC595 or am I wrong? I actally have a whole bunch of them and use them quite frequently. I'll be posting an interesting project to HoD this month where I made some nifty with a bunch of 595′s and the second best IC evermade, the 74HC123.
no it was a 74HC164 =)
Why did he put a zener diode AND a rectifier diode for the mains 60Hz signal? A zener alone is enough.
I tried it with just the zener and ended up frying two 7805′s, would have fried more silicon if it were connected
Nice drawing! good work there , Osgeld.
I'm no EE, but I suspect that the zener alone will build up a small charge (like a capacitor) during the positive half cycle of the AC while its conducting. Then, at the zero cross-over into the negative half cycle, the zener is forward-biased like a normal diode and there's an in-rush of current into the negative half-cycle while all those holes and electrons (previously in avalanche) return to the standard depletion zone of the PN junction and the zener tries to behave like normal diode again. Thus, switching takes too much time, and your ground rail will bounce (spike) at each zero-crossing. The spikes probably killed your regulators. The normal diode doesn't have this problem and conducts normally and quickly on the negative half cycle. One improvement I can suggest here.. replace R1 with D1 to present only the positive half cycles to your zener. Put R1 in series with your zener, after D1. Your circuit is basically a Full bridge in parallel with a half-bridge. It's better to separate the full bridge from the half-bridge.
Looks like a student of Forrest M. Mimms III, at least as far as the drawing goes.
But please, it's a wart, not wort. You use wort to make beer with, not electronics (although I often drink beer while designing and working with electronics).
without the details that is what I was showing on my scope codeboy, and good suggestion about swapping R1 and D1, it makes since
honestly I am surprised about all the comments on my schematic, every project I have posted that has had one was done in the exact same style, but whatever heh
oh and Cricri,nothing really better to do on a Saturday afternoon, not trying to be important or look impressive, just pissing time away
K thx
I think the point he was making is: Does anyone actually glance at a binary clock to read the time from? Sure, you CAN do it, but why? You CAN put square wheels on a car, but it doesn't make it better.
I don't have any negative comments on the build itself, only a vague wonder why one would use such a device.
I wear a binary watch and can read it easily and quickly. It's really not that difficult. Heck, I had the battery changed at a watch place in a mall just before Christmas, and the girl running the place even set the time for me even though she'd never seen a binary watch before. It must be you.
Awesome project! I had intended to do something similar, and use the mains frequency to drive a timer for something else, but during research I found that the mains frequency isn't that great at keeping time. The 60Hz is only nominal, and power stations will speed up or slow down their generators fractionally to cope better with demand, so in reality the mains frequency will go slightly above 60Hz (say 60.5 Hz) during the day, and lower than 60Hz during the night when demand is lower.
Of course, this means the clock would run a few minutes fast during the day and then a few minutes slow during the night, but at the end of the day (literally), the slow period and fast period might cancel out somwhat, and you might only be off by a few minutes a month. But for my own project this kind of error was not good enough, and in the end, just went for a 32kHz crystal and RTC IC – dirt cheap, easy to use.
andar_b, you are totally missing the point here, buddy. It's an interesting project, because of the synchronisation mechanism. It is also an exercise in both digital electronics and AC. I'm sure no one is ever planning to use it as a real clock. And I'm sure you know that pretty well, but somehow you still insist to add a total pointless comment to the list.
Okay so you don't need to do a write up to have your project posted.
That requirement has been relaxed to many times you shouldn't even have it as a requirement.
@Mike there is no way stations increase or decrease mains frequency to manage load capacity, at first it do nothing to load capacity and at second they required to keep everything in sync with national grid or transformers will melt down so grid is precise to atomic clock unless you see smoke and fire around city
Half true. Frequency does in-fact have a relationship with load. If demand is greater than generation, the frequency falls while if generation is greater than demand, the frequency rises. This is due to the response time of generation units. If the load spikes, the generators will slow down before the system can increase the 'throttle' to the unit to make up for it. Steam generators are the worse, because the slow thermal response. The converse is true when load falls, generators will over-speed.
The grid is considered ok if 'the daily average frequency' is within 10 seconds of proper time which is no where near 'atomic' accuracy. The error is additive, and over time can become large.
@therian on further research, I only agree with one of your points. It turns out that I had it backwards – a drop in frequency is caused by the rise in demand (as opposed to raising the frequency to meet demand). But this still causes a discrepancy in timing.
However, you are totally wrong to say that the grid is precise to atomic clock. From the article "NAESB WEQ Manual Time Error Correction Standards – WEQBPS – 004-00″, the introductory paragraph states:
"Interconnection frequency is normally scheduled at 60.00 Hz and controlled to that value. The control is imperfect and over time the frequency will average slightly above or below 60.00 Hz resulting in mechanical electric clocks developing an error relative to true time. This Standard specifies the procedure to be used for reducing the error to within acceptable limits of true time." source: http://www.naesb.org/pdf2/weq_bklet_011505_tec_mc.pdf
This doesn't change my original conclusion though – a mains drive clock would be inaccurate in the short term over one day (the NAESB allows mains-clocks to be wrong by up to 10 seconds before applying correction in the East US), and therefore unsuitable for my project.
I am thinking of building something similar to this but with 7-seg units. I was wondering if you had any noticeable problems with the "dirty" clock signal. I was thinking about adding another chip that had schmidt trigger inputs because that would be cleaner but I don't know if the extra chip is really needed.
the 4017 seems pretty tolerant of crappy input

The Smithville Lady Seminoles did their part to continue rebuilding efforts, Saturday finishing a sweep of Myrtle in the best-of-three Class 1A playoffs series with a 9-2 win.
"They were focused," Smithville coach Jeremy Duke said. "Everybody has been a part of the memorials but they were also focused on softball.
Senior pitcher Meagan Whitehead returned to the lineup for the first time in three weeks after suffering a broken hand at Tupelo.
Angel Guyton started both games against Myrtle, Friday's a 12-2 road win. Saturday, Whitehead went 3 for 4 and drove in four. Keely Chunn had an RBI triple for Myrtle.
The Lady Seminoles have won five straight division titles in Duke's five seasons and are 37-1 in division games. Smithville (17-9) will face Pine Grove in the quarterfinals.
Comeback Kids
Kossuth and Smithville both lost Game 1s in the second round of the baseball playoffs. Both rebounded and won two straight to advance.
Kossuth beat Water Valley 12-5, thanks in part to a David Gibson grand slam. The Aggies will face South Pontotoc in the quarterfinals.
Hatley 3, Eupora 1: Starting pitchers Lesley Hudson and Amber Dean pitched shutouts through four innings.
Hatley got on the board in the bottom of the fifth when Hudson reached on an error and came home on Katy Duling's triple. Duling scored on Mary Katherine Reeves' groundout. The Lady Tigers added another run in the sixth on Jamelle Vance's RBI single. Hatley swept the series and will face East Webster.
Mooreville 23 Winona 13: The Lady Troopers swept the series with 16 hits, three each from Meagan Edmonds and Betsy Kingsley.

England could well lose to scotland, who may finally find form that will put england too in the same draw as the others... haha would be epic. best 4 playing-off against each other so early in the knockouts. actually scrap that. we'd have to play england then in the quarters. nah **** go england! |

Yep ditto, and certainly its hard to fear the current French side who struggled to dispose of Japan, who we beat by more than 70 points. Regarding the loss against France in 2009, that was our first test of the year and we had a slightly experimental looking side. France on the other hand were far more settled on their combinations, so its a bit difficult to make comparisons. Although to be fair, maybe we'd get a more favourable draw for the rest of the tournament should we lose to France...

they can't possibly lose to namibia, so probably somoa?
it sucks that england's game against scotland and SA's game vs samoa are last, while our match vs france is next week. which means we can't really FIX the draw! |

Great to see the Irish get up and win the match. What an atmosphere it appeared to be at the ground. For O'Driscoll to say it felt like they were playing in Dublin certainly said something for the crowd.

Excelllent performance from the Irish - fully deserved victory as they looked to be the only team that turned up with a game plan and executed it perfectly.
The Australians were embarassing - totally inept performance that smacked of arrogance Alongside certain players, Deans head should be firmly on the chopping block as the team, for all its talent, has not improved one iota since he's been in charge and his tactics (or lack thereof) are totally bewildering Why the **** wasnt Polota Nau dragged at half time and allowed to play like an amateur for the whole 80 minutes (let me guess, he needs match fitness ) Why the **** werent changes made when it bacame obvious that whatever it was we were trying to do (and I have no idea what that was) wasnt working Why did we suddenly resort to short restarts and pathetic chip kicks when the entire Irish game plan was based upon territory in the hope of kicks at goal - they didnt make a clean break for the entire 80 minutes so how the **** were they going to run it back 75 metres? All in all, this performance was the one we feared (world-beaters one week, hopeless the next) but knew was inevitable. After all, it only being going on for 10 ****ing years End of rant |

Need to get past the Boks in the QF first, I think.
The Australian forwards are simply just not up to it. Their tight 5 was outmatched in the set-piece and their back three in the loose. The lack of Pocock and Moore was an issue, but I think missing Moore had more of an impact as he has had a stellar year, is good at the graft and a good and combative runner. I don't think Pocock would have made too much difference at the breakdown given the dominance of the Irish forwards (although, that said, he would certainly have been streaks better than his replacement). A lot of work seems to have gone into the forwards but they seem to crumple against muscular/physical opposition. It's a pity that Berrick Barnes was out most of the year with injury, but even if he has not had much test play he needs to come back for the USA/Russia games, and then, all going well, play against SA. He has the brains and composure to direct play when things are not going well which Cooper, at the current time, lacks. The Australian mid-field with McCabe/Faingaa also offer little, and Barnes/ACC would offer more on attack and defense. Deans should really have rung the changes early in the second half, but he has always been reluctant to use the bench throughout his tenure. I can understand that sometimes, but last night, Higginbotham needed to be on earlier as did S Faingaa and maybe Palu (I don't really rate Palu, he is a little reminiscent of Kefu but not really a patch on him). Simmons went alright and should start in the final group games. But yeah, given the Bok performance against Fiji, I think a QF exit for the Wallabies is on the cards.

There are a couple of reasons this disturbs me: First of all, I don't want to be anywhere near a sentence that pairs "eats" and "trash" and doesn't involve the phrase "trash compactor." Second, what are we really deciding is unimportant when we just toss our plastic bottles and stuff, instead of recycling them?

The benefits of home schooling
Luke Sunderland, 13, and his sister, Isabel, 9, are homeschooled by their mother, but they take guitar lessons from a musician outside the home. | J.Geil— For Sun-Times Media
Updated: November 12, 2012 1:29AM
HINSDALE — Joanna Budelman of Hinsdale chose to home school daughter Bonnie because they own a business overseas that requires a lot of travel.
Four years ago, when Bonnie was 9, she was home schooled for six months by one of Budelman's friends.
After moving to Hinsdale in July 2011, Budelman decided to continue home schooling because the family would be in India and Mexico five months of the school year.
She found a literature-based curriculum that appealed to her and supplemented the curriculum, called Sonlight, with math instruction on compact discs.
Because she expected her daughter to enroll in Hinsdale Middle School for eighth grade, she had Bonnie attend the middle school for the morning advisory period and science class, so she could meet other students.
Hinsdale-Clarendon Hills Elementary District 181 Superintendent Renee Schuster said home schooling provides some flexibility in scheduling and curriculum that public schools cannot provide.
"Successful home schooling requires a great deal of time and effort," she said.
But for parents who have the time, they think it is worth it.
Luke Sunderland, who will turn 14 on Sept. 16, has been home schooled his entire life by his mother, Debra Sunderland.
Sunderland, who has a bachelor's degree in political science and international studies, and a minor in French from Miami University of Ohio, likes being able to guide her children's instruction, because she learns new information with them.
The children have separate lessons for "skill-driven" subjects, such as math and writing, but they study science, history and the humanities together, Sunderland said.
Luke said home schooling allows him to spend more time on the subjects that interest him.
"If I like a certain topic, I could go into studying it further," Luke said.
"I wanted them to be where it was okay to talk about God, to have a Christmas pageant. I wanted to give them a good foundation," she said.
Luke, who has studied French since he was 3, has been to France seven times. This year, for the first time, Sunderland hired a retired high school French teacher to help all of them improve their fluency and pronunciation.
"The people who are going to lead the world are going to be home-schooled," Sunderland said.
