TUSQ XL offers vintage looks and permanent lubrication.
The TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut (PQL-6060-00) is a superior replacement nut for Epiphone guitars.
Finally, the breakthrough you've been waiting for. Now you can have it all - the great tone of TUSQ, classic good looks AND permanent lubrication. If you love the look of a vintage white nut, but you keep going out of tune when you bend strings or use your tremolo, then TUSQ XL is just what you need.
TUSQ XL is designed to boost guitar tone and performance. This precision engineered nut is made with a specially formulated material which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and brings out the hidden harmonics and richness in every note. It is based on the highly resonant TUSQ man made ivory, but is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of the guitar.
If you have an acoustic or vintage guitar, you owe it to yourself to hear the difference a TUSQ replacement guitar nut makes. Compared to standard materials such as bone, Micarta or Corian, you'll hear more harmonics with every note you play when you use TUSQ on your guitar.
TUSQ is a proprietary material that is precision engineered under high pressure and heat. It is specifically formulated to deliver the right frequencies with the optimum transfer rate to the top of your guitar every time. Because of the way TUSQ replacement guitar nut is made, it is a consistent material that is rich in tone and harmonic content.
TUSQ guitar parts have quickly become an important tone performance tool for some of the world's most renowned guitar manufacturers, luthiers and playing professionals. TUSQ nuts and saddles have rich tone and sustain, without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone and other natural materials. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout each piece, hampering consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top. TUSQ replacement guitar nuts are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body. Acoustic guitars come alive. Electric guitars will get a brighter sound and increased harmonic content.
Don't just fix your guitar – improve it!

Comments about Graph Tech TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut:
I just bought a guitar off a friend because he didn't want to fix it. All that was wrong was that the nut had chipped off one of the corners and allowed the E string to slide out of position. I ordered the new one and once it got here all I had to do was remove a little material from each end to get it down to 1.63" and take 0.06" off of the bottom to get it down to the right dimensions prior to install. Once I clamped it into place and get it set, the sound that now came out was a much richer tone and sound that I don't know why anyone would have wanted to get rid of the guitar in the first place. This was well worth the small investment and I look forward to many years of enjoyment!

Comments about Graph Tech TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut:
Good product overall. It takes some sanding but anyone can do it. It's worth the investment. Improves the clarity of your guitar tone. Give you a little more brightness and notes sustain more. It was a great improvement to my epiphone les Paul standard. I've read about how changing the nut of your guitar is the cheapest way to improve tone and they were right.

I replaced the stock plastic nut on my Epiphone Wildkat with this. This is better. Brighter. More
sustain. Didn't take much sanding to make it right.
I've got a couple more Epis and as soon as possible I'll be putting these nuts on them.
Best Uses
Comments about Graph Tech TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut:
I had open fret buzzing problems and truss rod adjustments didn't make any difference. After searching online, I read a lot of good things about Tusq replacement nuts. When the Tusq arrived and I compared it to my old plastic nut, the high E string slot on the old nut was cut much too low, which turned out to be the cause of my buzzing problem. Since installing the Tusq, I've been able to lower the action, and my SG plays really well.
Comments about Graph Tech TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut:
Cant compare it to bone because I've never used it.
I changed over to Tusq nuts on my Epiphone Les Paul Custom, Ibanez SAS36 and a Squire Jagmaster. Its not an easy job but definitely worth it. You will need to sand it down to get it to fit as snug as possible and getting the old one off an Epi or Ibanez takes patient work with an Exacto knife. You might even have to shim it up a bit to make the same string height. If this seems difficult dont do it. You can screw up the headstock on your LP. (fender/squiers are easier) If you make the upgrade try this. Take the old nut and drop it on something soild. Then do the same with the tusq. The cheap plastic ones drop with a thud. They're totally lifeless because they're hollow (yes even on the higher end Epi LP). When you drop the tusq it pings because its solid.
Invest some time and a few bucks. I've spent more for less.
Comments about Graph Tech TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut:
I replaced the cheap plastic nut on my import guitar with one of these. Fit pretty well after a bit of sanding, and the difference was very noticeable. Without nut sauce the guitar came back to pitch better after using the jazzmaster-like trem. Even doing some aggressive bends couldn't get it really out of tune. Good stuff.
Comments about Graph Tech TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut:
All sides absolutly plumb and square, minor fine sanding of the ends to get a nice flush fit to the neck. Properly presloted.
Easiest guitar nut replacement I've ever done! Overall tone is improved, too.
Comments about Graph Tech TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut:
Never gave 10 on all catagories but these tusq nuts deserve all the praise.
Easier to work with than bone. No special tools required. Used them on my two Electra Les Paul copies. Sanded down to size and it was easy.
Keeps my guitars in tune and the sustain and tone have improved
It saved my guitars which suffered from low cut bone nuts and tuning issues. Great product!

Iowa City 20-Story Building Excitement Upsets Co-Op SupportersBy Mark Carlson, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa - A decision by the Iowa City council to award a piece of property to a developer planning to build a 20-story building is upsetting some loyal grocery store shoppers.
"The city has disregarded 24 thousand members from all over Eastern Iowa," said Pam Michaud, who frequently shops at New Pioneer Co-Op, 22 S. Van Buren St., in downtown Iowa City. The building, known as The Chauncey, was one of three finalists for the property. It was the only proposal not to include first floor space for the grocery store, which has been seeking a new location for several years. Instead the Chauncey will include a movie theater and bowling alley. "We love these mixed use buildings," said Connie Champion, one of five council members who voted in favor of the project. "It's just not my role as a city councilperson to find a place for the Co-Op." Co-Op General Manager Matt Hartz said it appears the downtown location will remain open "for as long as it lasts." "Every option is back on the table," he said. "Including adding a third location, but it's all something we need to discuss." The Co-Op has one other store in Coralville. According to a proposal submitted to the city by Chauncey developer Marc Moen, the Co-Op was offered room in his Plaza Tower project in 2005, but turned down the offer.

Jakarta, 15 February 2014 — What are the main historical origins of international criminal law as a discipline of international law? The Human Rights Resource Centre, having formed an important partnership with the Centre for International Law Research and Policy to help those in the region to understand the history of war crimes prosecution, is proud to disseminate information on two conferences entitled "The Historical Origins of International Criminal Law." Scheduled to be held in Hong Kong on 1-2 March and New Delhi on 29-30 November 2014, the conferences will explore the doctrinal, institutional, and societal foundations of international criminal law as a discipline of public international law.
The Hong Kong conference examines historical trials and events up to the post-World War II period. The New Delhi conference follows up by studying later trials and their contributions to international criminal law, the origins and development of core international crimes, and the evolution of different institutions created to address these crimes.
The conferences are organized by the Centre for International Law Research and Policy, the European University Institute (Department of Law), and Peking University International Law Institute. City University of Hong Kong acts as co-organizer of the first conference, while Waseda University Law School is co-organizer of the second conference.
More information may be found at the FICHL webpage. Those wishing to attend may register with Ms. Tessa Bolton at email@example.com.
Jakarta, 5 February 2014 — The Human Rights Resource Centre today announced its plans to conduct the first study by a group of ASEAN-wide researchers on freedom of thought, conscience and religion (FOTCR) following the adoption of the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD).
Encouraged by Article 22 of the AHRD, whereby ASEAN governments committed to eliminate "all forms of intolerance, discrimination and incitement of hatred based on religious beliefs," the study will provide legal analysis on the extent to which FOTCR is guaranteed in ASEAN's 10 member states. Trends in responding to religious intolerance will also be considered. The study builds on the work of the Indonesian Human Rights Working Group to raise the profile of the issue.
"ASEAN's commitment to eliminating religious intolerance is commendable," said the HRRC's Executive Director, Marzuki Darusman. "The study will seek to provide policymakers with much-needed analysis on both the extent to which legislative protections of freedom of religion exist, and how such protections contribute positively to regional integration and to international peace and security." It is worth recalling that in 2012, during the opening of the 8th ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council Meeting, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen had stressed the benefits of conducting such a study.
ASEAN has embarked on an impressive program of efforts to achieve regional integration, including committing under its Political-Security Community Blueprint to "cooperation in political development with shared responsibility for comprehensive security." Under Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, regional arrangements, including ASEAN, have a duty to make every effort to achieve the pacific settlement of local disputes. Recent debates at the Security Council suggest that this obligation may be extended to include a much broader range of cooperative efforts than historically envisaged, including preventive measures and conflict mediation in non-international armed conflicts. In this regard, the role of Malaysia in facilitating the recently concluded 17-year negotiations between the government of the Philippines and Moro Islamic Liberation Front can serve as inspiration.
"We are seeking to look both at analysis of the existing situation as well as any best practices or lessons learned from the region," said Michelle Staggs Kelsall, the Centre's Deputy Director. "The Study is therefore both retrospective and prospective. We hope that it will open up avenues for constructive discussions on the way forward in ASEAN to secure protections for all persons, regardless of their beliefs."
Professor Tore Lindholm, Professor Emeritus at the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights and Board Member of the Oslo Coalition on Freedom of Religion or Belief, has agreed to be one of four expert advisers to the study. "This is an important study, and one which highlights the importance of guaranteeing freedom of religion, thought and conscience in a region with a wide variety of beliefs, particularly bearing in mind the goals of integration," Professor Lindholm stated.
Researchers for the study have been recruited from 8 out of 10 ASEAN countries, with all 10 countries being considered. Additionally, the HRRC will endeavor to engage in consultations with representatives from the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission for Human Rights, ASEAN governments and the ASEAN Secretariat, as well as civil society and religious groups, throughout the drafting process.
Results from the study will be released in the latter half of 2014. Funding for the study comes from the Embassy of Norway in Jakarta.
Jakarta, 20 January 2014 — As ASEAN moves forward to become a community integrated in the economic, political-security, and socio-cultural spheres by 2015, the judiciaries of the ten member states will face new challenges that a single regional community will bring. Strengthening the capacities of ASEAN judiciaries will be a requirement for stable transitions throughout the region.
Recognizing the need for cross-border collaboration on judicial training within ASEAN, the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation (KAS) will organize a regional meeting of representatives from ASEAN judicial training institutions in Phnom Penh, tentatively scheduled for March 2014. In preparation of this meeting, the HRRC, in collaboration with the Asian International Justice Initiative (AIJI) and the WSD Handa Center for Human Rights and International Justice (Handa Center), will conduct a brief study that will provide an overview of judicial training in the ten ASEAN member states.
This project builds on the initial findings of the 2011 Rule of Law for Human Rights in the ASEAN Region: A Baseline Study. In order for ASEAN governments to fully implement their obligations under the ASEAN Charter to the rule of law and good governance, the 2011 baseline study recommended that member states "develop and implement judicial training programs for judges from across the region so as to strengthen judiciary systems."
The newly commenced study, Judicial Training in ASEAN: A Comparative Overview of Systems and Programs in Place, will not only assist with providing useful baseline information for the planned conference, but will also assist ASEAN judicial training institutions and other interested stakeholders in promoting cross-border collaboration on judicial training across ASEAN.
Jakarta/New York, 15 January 2014 — The Reporting and Assurance Frameworks Initiative (RAFI) held expert multi-stakeholder consultations in London, New York and Jakarta in October and November 2013. The consultations addressed some of the key overarching challenges and opportunities for RAFI, a project that aims to develop a twin set of public frameworks for companies to report on how they meet their responsibility to respect human rights, and to have this report assured by an external party.
A cross-section of individuals participated in each consultation, from companies, trade unions, non-governmental organizations, government, audit and assurance providers, investors, and academia. All participants took part in their personal capacities and not on behalf of their organizations. The consultation was held under the Chatham House Rule in order to stimulate open and frank conversation.
The reports of each of the three consultations are published below. They are intended to capture key issues and themes raised in the course of each meeting, as a basis for continuing public discussion. They do not seek to draw conclusions. The project team is reviewing the various points of convergence and divergence that arose in the consultations and conducting some additional research and analysis based on a number of issues and suggestions raised. It will publish some suggested next steps for RAFI in the coming weeks, as a basis for further discussion with stakeholders.
Geneva, 3 December 2013 — As part of the UN Forum on Business & Human Rights chaired by Pak Makarim Wibisono in Geneva this week, the HRRC's Michelle Staggs Kelsall joined a panel of distinguished experts to participate in the American Bar Association's roundtable, inviting both regional and global perspectives on mobilizing lawyers to advance the Business & Human Rights framework. She was joined by Mark Ellis of the International Bar Association, Julie Vallat, President of the Business & Human Rights Commission of the Union Internationale des Avocats, John Sherman of SHIFT, and Joseph Kibugu of the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, amongst others, in the discussion.
Staggs Kelsall highlighted the fact that lawyers and legal academics in ASEAN remain amongst the key players attempting to bring about a paradigm shift in the conduct of business.
She further noted that the ongoing challenge for civil society lawyers was to communicate the central message of the UN Guiding Principles in a manner that turns business' risk-aversion into concrete action; that moves civil society's calls from the mode of naming and blaming, to knowing and showing; and that provides for actual remedies for victims of abuses, wherever and whenever they occur.

George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 October 10, 1985) is considered not only one of the greatest directors of film but also that of the theatre, as well as a fine actor, screenwriter, broadcaster and producer. His first feature film, Citizen Kane (1941) and last Hollywood film Touch of Evil (1958) are both universally acknowledged as important steps in the history of cinema and widely cited by critics as among the best films ever made, while his various productions with the Mercury Theatre were considered revolutionary in the theatrical world.

Tue Mar 1, 2005
The surge during the last quarter of 2004 did not continue throughout January, as many asset classes struggled and volatility remained frustratingly low for managers. Disappointing earnings reports, coupled with interest-rate hike concerns, also contributed to the difficult market conditions. There were few asset classes for managers to hide in, least of all stocks, as the S&P finished the month down 2.53%.
Still, many top managers earned their 20% fees, managing to...

Good Dad And Loving Husband: Can I Be Both?
Becoming a father and stay-at-home dad puts a strain on a couple's marriage. "Even though we split many of the chores involved in caring for our son, my best energy, both physically and mentally, was going to our baby; my wife was getting the leftovers. She was understandably frustrated, but we both assumed it was just the natural process for a newborn. After a while, though, the position became untenable."
Parental Violence Affects Kids' Mental Health
Children whose parents treat each other violently are more likely to have mental difficulties as adults finds a study from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research in Paris, France, reports Science Daily. When researchers carried out in-person interviews with more than 3,000 adults they measured intimate partner violence, violence against children, lifetime suicide attempts and current level of depression.

Concurrent Downloads using NSOperationQueues
Most iOS applications have to download data from the internet. Being a mobile developer, sparse resources, limited bandwidth and user-responsiveness needs make this a very interesting problem to tackle. If you are lucky, you might just have one url that you ping to download all the data for your application. But usually, one has multiple urls to download from simultaneously. Since Pulse aggregates your news from multiple sources, this is a particularly important part of the application. After a long search for an elegant and efficient solution for this problem, we discovered that NSOperations and NSOperationQueues make managing simultaneous downloads very easy. This post lists some of our learnings and gives code samples on how to implement it in your own app.
Why NSOperationQueues?
Ideally, you never want to block the main thread that handles user input. Hence, downloading data has to happen in a background thread. We have found that NSURLConnection is an excellent class to download data asynchronously. But, in order to maintain multiple connections simultaneously, one usually has to care about 3 features: (1) Throttling the number of simultaneous downloads (2) Prioritizing connections over one another (3) Easy cancellation and cleanup of such connections. These functions require a lot of bookkeeping that can get quite tedious. NSOperationQueues are extremely helpful in such situations.
An NSOperationQueue is essentially a pool of threads each of which runs a task described by NSOperation objects. It is extremely easy to wrap an asynchronous NSURLConnection in an NSOperation, as we shall see in the next section. Each NSOperation object can be given a priority and added to the queue.
[operationQueue addOperation:myOperation];
An NSOperationQueue object allows you to specify the number of threads is should use and you can easily kill all operations.
[operationQueue cancelAllOperations];
Based on system resources and operation priorities, an NSOperationQueue runs all its operations till they finish. You can pause and resume it at any time, giving you complete control over running tasks in the background with minimal lines of code.
for (operation in newOperations) {
[operationQueue addOperation:operation];
[operationQueue setSuspended:NO];
Asynchronous downloads using NSOperations
To wrap an NSURLConnection object in an NSOperation, we need to create an NSOperation subclass. When the operation starts, we can initiate an NSURLConnection and implement its delegate methods to collect downloaded data. An NSOperation uses 3 key variables to define its state: isExecuting, isFinished and isConcurrent. Since we want our downloads to run in parallel, we set isConcurrent to YES. Both isExecuting and isFinished need to be tracked in a key-value coding compliant manner. The operation is only considered finished when the isFinished property changes to YES. Check out DownloadURLOperation.h and DownloadURLOperation.m to learn more on how this is done.
New Subclass in Action
Now that we have our DownloadURLOperation subclass in place, we add its objects to operation queues and start downloading data. If an operation queue is empty, an operation starts executing as soon as it is added to the queue.
// Add an observer to get notified when the download finishes
[downloadOperation_ addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"isFinished" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew context:NULL];
[queue addOperation:downloadOperation_];
To process the downloaded data after an operation is finished, we need to observe KVO notifications.
if ([operation isEqual:downloadOperation_]) {
[downloadOperation_ removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"isFinished"];
[downloadOperation_ release];
downloadOperation_ = nil;
NSData *data = [downloadOperation_ data];
NSError * error = [downloadOperation_ error];
if (error != nil) {
// handle error
} else {
// process data
Whenever necessary, remember to cancel the operation.
if (downloadOperation_ != nil) {
[downloadOperation_ removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"isFinished"];
[downloadOperation_ cancel];
[downloadOperation_ release];
downloadOperation_ = nil;
[super dealloc];
Here is a quick summary of a some important benefits of wrapping NSURLConnections in NSOperations and using NSOperationQueues to manage simultaneous downloads.
- Throttling: NSOperationQueue allows you to set the maximum concurrent operations allowed to run. Thus, we can fine tune this number based on device performance and network constraints.
- Chained Downloads: If you need multiple downloads to happen one after the other in a sequence, using NSOperations allows you to execute chained downloads easily in a single class.
- Code Cleanliness: This pattern allows you to encapsulate downloading and processing data in the same class. For example: YAJLParserOperation.h and YAJLParserOperation.m parseJSON data on the fly as it is downloaded.
Although asynchronous NSURLConnection downloads happen on a background thread, its delegates are always called in the main thread in the NSDefaultRunLoopMode. This means that the delegates would never be called when the user is touching the interface (say while scrolling a tableview or tapping buttons). Even if a connection runs inside an NSOperation, this important property is maintained since we ensure that the connection starts on the main thread.
Here is some sample code that you can play around with to learn more. Please leave comments for any suggestions or improvements.

Antivirus Programs: BitDefender At A Glance
23 Jun
Comparing Antivirus Programs? Check Out The Range Of Software Downloads Available From BitDefender.
From specialty security software to all-purpose antivirus applications, BitDefender are a forward-thinking company determined to create powerful, user-friendly PC software. Not only do they have antivirus solutions for home and business use, but also more advanced programs for specialized needs, making them a great company to look at when thinking about updating antivirus software.
BitDefender Antivirus Options For Everyday Protection
As the name suggests, this company is dedicated to defending against PC attacks, and offers three strong antivirus programs: BitDefender Antivirus Pro, BitDefender Internet Security and BitDefender Total Security.
BitDefender Antivirus Pro provides comprehensive and proactive protection against all online security threats and system maintenance and backup options without slowing down the PC. One of the best features of this program is that people can automatically activate Game, Laptop, or Silent Mode to minimize interruptions, prolong battery life, or reduce the system load when needed. However, it can take a while to get used to the interface of this program, so keep that in mind if this does sound like the right antivirus software choice.
While BitDefender's Antivirus Pro is great for personal use, Internet Security is designed to be the ideal program for families or small businesses. As well as blocking viruses, hackers and spam, it also provides parental control and firewall protection. While lower-grade and old computers may be slowed down when using BitDefender Internet Security, the license is good for up to three computers, so even with a PC upgrade users can still get protected.
One of the most advanced protection options from BitDefender is Total Security, which provides strong protection against all security threats, along with system maintenance and backup. It also includes an improved optimized scanning system, Active Virus Control, usage profiles and other system enhancements to keep security as strong as possible.
BitDefender Gaming Protection
Most online gamers know that there are threats specifically targeted at them, with PlayStation and Nintendo hacking signalling widespread security issues for users, but there are very few programs that are specifically designed to protect gamers. BitDefender is at the forefront of online gaming protection, even blogging about threats to help people become more aware of them.
Their solution comes in the form of BitDefender GameSafe, and antivirus option that minimizes the impact on processing power, memory and virtual memory, allowing gamers to maintain in-game responsiveness and reduce interruptions during their gaming sessions. GameSafe defends PCs from viruses, spyware and rootkits, has a fully functional firewall and can postpone all updates, as well as block alerts and pop-ups, so that users are never interrupted during game play.
No matter what antivirus protection is needed, there is a program out there that will be right. BitDefender is one company that is definitely worth considering, especially for gamers.

Bonar Bridge is an area of great archaeological and historical significance. Originally just called Bonar until the completion of the first bridge across the River Kyle in 1812, Bonar Bridge is a great stopping point on the Highland road from Inverness to Caithness.
Evidence of prehistoric inhabitancy is in abounds in the area and in May 1900 a collection of Bronze Age jewellery, known as the Migdale Hoard, was discovered by workmen in Bonar Bridge.
As a major crossing point of the Dornoch Firth, Bonar Bridge has been actively involved in battles, skirmishes and disputes throughout the history of Scotland. A notable example took place in 1746 as Clan Sutherland and the Earl of Cromartie engaged in the Battle of Bonar Bridge. Many of the clan were killed or captured and thus they were prevented from joining Bonnie Prince Charlie at the Battle of Culloden.
Today Bonar Bridge is an interesting, historical and informative tourist destination. Each year Bonar Bridge celebrates its Gala Week or the Salmon Queen Week to pay tribute to the local food source. There are many areas and attractions of interest in the local area, including the Falls of Shin, where salmon can be spotted attempting to leap up the falls.

DHS' immigration enforcement programs have allowed arrests for minor charges, such as driving without a license and petty theft, amounting to no more than a subway ride, to be the gateway for immigration enforcement. ... Once noncitizens are channeled into the immigration enforcement system - regardless of guilt or innocence, severity of the offense or how long ago it occurred, rehabilitation or ties to the community - they face a detention and deportation system with few due process protections. DHS has a bad track record of failing to ensure that immigration enforcement authority is not granted to local agencies with a history of racial profiling or racially disparate enforcement. Similarly, even as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announces measures to prioritize its use of government resources, the agency has no meaningful screening or oversight in place to ensure that it is not relying on the criminal arrest authority of local enforcement agencies with a history of misconduct.
The role of local law enforcement in US immigration law has been a point of debate in recent months, since the passage [JURIST report] of an Arizona immigration law [SB 1070 materials; JURIST news archive], which seeks to create state law authority to enforce federal immigration law, prompting numerous lawsuits assailing its constitutionality. Last month, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) filed the state's opening brief [JURIST report] in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, asking the court to lift the preliminary injunction issued in July [JURIST report] blocking the law from taking full effect. The injunction came at the request of the DOJ, enjoining provisions of the law requiring the verification of the immigration status of people reasonably suspected of being illegal immigrants, authorizing the warrantless arrest of those police have probable cause to believe have committed an offense that could lead to deportation and requiring noncitizens to carry their registration papers with them at all times. The law has been widely criticized as unconstitutional for allegedly legalizing racial profiling [JURIST op-ed].

5-Minute Rule!
Jan 02, 2008 07:04 AM »
Found this on a blog and thought it was really nice ma'shallah:
There was something described to me a couple of weeks ago called the 5 minute rule. It means that if you were thinking of something other than Allah(swt) for about 5 minutes before the prayer, then it is pretty much a guarantee that you'll be thinking about that thing during the prayer.
So basically if you watch a movie and try to jump up and pray you'll definitely think about that movie. If you are listening to akon or jay-z before prayer it will disturb it.
There's a hadith of the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace.) that Aisha narrated about the Prophet at home. I don't know the hadith by heart or exactly what it is but the basic gist of it is that the Prophet was extremely playful and kind at home but when the time for prayer came "it was as if he didn't know us. Do we ever think about what this means in relation to our own prayer? What does this mean?
The Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) was getting into the zone before he spoke to his Lord.
And we llike dance around to hip-hop or Arabic music and pause it and say "Allahu akbar" one second later and expect to be in the zone? We expect to be to completely focused in our prayer?
Did you ever see someone right before they interview for a really big job or for university or med school or grad school?
They are really nervous, if not really nervous, they are studying for their interview with index cards.
They are dressed nicely, they probably have showered and smell good, and they are definitely not dancing or watching a movie 10 minutes before their interview. (I hope not haha) That is because they are getting ready to talk to an important person and they need to be ready.
(These examples are really arbitrary by the way.)
You know what I'm getting at here.
When we pray, we are getting ready to talk to the Lord of the Worlds and we don't prepare that much at all. We try to keep our wudu all day so we don't have to repeat it even though wudu id good. If we do have to do wudu, we huff and puff through it or we do it in 10 seconds barely wetting ourselves. We might not be in our best clothes… and you know the rest.
Now let's quickly go through some parts of the Prayer. We need to interact with our prayer more.
There is a parallel that Shaykh Hamza Yusuf made with the prayer. I have no clue if it's true or whatnot but I do think it's beneficial so I'll say it.
He said that the qiyam (the part of prayer when you are standing and you recite fatiha and whatnot) represents Islam. It represents the prayer.
The ruku (hands on your knees) represents iman, you are praising your Lord during that time.
The sujood (prostration with the head on the ground) represents Ihsan. This is the time when you are closest to your heart.
Also during the qiyaam, your mind is above your heart. In ruku, they are perfectly level and in sujood your heart is above your mind.
On Allahu Akbar:
Translation: God is the Greatest or God is Greater?
Both are true. However the latter is the better translation.
Think about it in terms of the prayer. Maybe you're not completely concentrated. But you have to say "God is greater."
God s greater than everything that is happening in your life at the moment.
If you've just gone through a crisis and you find it hard to concentrate in prayer, think about the fact that God is greater than all that.
After the ruku
Think about sujood. You are putting your face to the ground. This is worship. Islam really puts an emphasis on how your face really represents your dignity. Muslims are not allowed to strike the face of the opponent in war. No Muslim is allowed to ever strike face of another. Ever. Without exceptions.
So sujood really signifies how much we are humbling ourselves before our creator. We are nothing in comparison. We put our faces to the ground and we say "Glory be to God the highest of the high."
The tashahud: It's really nice to know the context of the tashahud.
During Israa and Miraj, we believe that the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) ascended to the heavens. He was walking through wondering how to adress Allah. We address each other as aslamu alaikom but Allah is al Salam. That is one of his names. So he said "Attahiyatu lilah Azzakiyatu lilah Attayibatus salawatu lilah"
Greetings to God, Righteous offerings to God. Best of Prayers to God.
Then Allah ta3ala responded back to the Prophet:
Assalamu alaika Ayyuha annabi. Peace be upon you O Prophet.
Then the Prophet(May Allah bless him and give him peace) said:assalamu alaina wa ala ilah asaliheen
Peace be upon us and upon God's righteous slaves.
Of course our beloved (May Allah bless him and give him peace) didn't forget his umma and included us.
The angels were watching this and then after seeing it said the shahada: "Asshadu inna la ilhaha ila Allah wahdahu la sharika lahu waashaddu anna muhamaddan abu wa rasoolu"
I testify that there is no God but God and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.
Some tips to apply the Rule and help to concentrate in prayer:
* Wudu-Use wudhu time to reflect on Allah swt. Don't have conversations during wudu. The act of wudu has to do with cleanliness but that's not all we use it for. It's supposed to cleanse you to put you in a state of mind for the act of prayer. We all know that if there is no water available we can use earth so there is definitely more to wudu than cleanliness.
* Know what you're reciting! If you don't know Arabic, quickly read through a translation of fatiha before you pray. This is the part of the quran where Allah teaches us how to make dua to him so know what you're saying!
* For people that do and don't know Arabic- listen to a really good tafsir of surah fatiha or read a good tafsir. Knowing the translation is not really enough. Read the commentary if your translation of the Qu'ran has one. Even if you've already read one or taken a class on one, read it regularly to keep yourself refreshed. Sunnipath had a really good special with Shaykh Sohail Hanif on Surah Fatiha It is available on their website. I'll post my notes from it shortly
Finally, I know that all of us might not have the time to prep for our prayer. In university, we have to rush to pray between classes etc. But you can remember Allah while running to the campus musalla. We should just try our best to get in the zone before we pray, so that our prayer benefits us.

Asalaamu Alaikum
Nice article.
Interesting also how there is always a Sunna prayer before the main Fardh prayer. There is definately some wisdom behind that.
Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is God's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!" [39:10]

Ever wonder how Paul Simon got hooked up with the South African musicians who contributed such a core part of Graceland's sound?
Looking for inspiration, Simon became increasingly obsessed with a cassette recording of "township jive" music from South Africa that a friend had given him. Simon was particularly struck by a track called "Gumboots" that had been recorded by the Boyoyo Boys, a group of sax, guitar, bass, and drum musicians who played mbaqanga music in and around Soweto. The music reminded Simon of 1950s R&B, and he asked his record company to get him in touch with the Boyoyo Boys to see if they'd be interested in collaborating.
This wasn't an easy request for Warner Brothers to honor. Starting in 1961, South Africa's apartheid government had been subjected to a cultural boycott begun by the British Musicians Union. Managed by the UN Center Against Apartheid, the boycott prohibited artists worldwide from collaborating with South African musicians, and it maintained an influential blacklist against artists who performed in South Africa.
Check out the full story—it's long, but good!—at Co. Design and Design Mind. The cut above is "You Can Call Me Al"—enjoy Simon's hand gestures and motions, as clearly he has no idea how to perform without a guitar in hand.

Amazon's Nook Color killer shipping soon?
There's been a lot of talk in recent weeks about Amazon releasing an Android tablet to take on the iPad. But much less has been said about a smaller tablet, a 7-inch model, that the company has been rumored to have in the works.
Now Taiwan's DigiTimes, which we can't say is terribly reliable, is reporting that Foxconn will deliver the larger 10.1-inch Amazon tablet in early 2012 but that Quanta Computer has already begun shipping a 7-inch model to Amazon.
We've been hearing similar reports on that 7-inch model. A major app and content … Read more

"Perfect 8 port switch"
5.0 starson by bmaberPros: Reliable, fast, easy to set up and quiet
Cons: none I can think of
Summary: I am not sure why any one would buy any other 8 port 10/100 switch when there is this beauty on the market. The unit makes no noise because it has no fan; it runs cool on its own. The unit has a big buffer and gigabit Ethernet so it is fast and future friendly even if you don't use gigabit nics yet. I have run this switch with a wide range of cards and other switches on the network and no problems with compatibility at all. Honestly installing it was about as easy as installing a power bar, just plug in all the cords and away it goes. We have had our 3 GS608 switches running for half a year and not one problem. I wish all networking products were this well designed and reliable.

Near the coast, the fresh-water rivers, such as the Altamaha, are affected by the rise and fall of the tides from the Atlantic Ocean to about 30 miles inland. In this setting, the great watershed of the Altamaha delta between Darien and Glynn County's northern section, prosperous rice plantations developed and took advantage of the flushing effects of fresh and salt water tides for irrigation.
The peak of the rice industry in McIntosh County was reached in the 1850s. The local plantations along the Altamaha River branches and Cathead Creek west of Darien accounted for the bulk of the rice exported from Georgia during the antebellum period. Pierce Butler and P.M. Nifhringale were the two biggest planters in terms of volume.
One of the largest plantations in the South was the Butler Island Plantation, located just south of Darien, across the Darien River on what is now US Highway 17. The story of the plantation is a fascinating one, beginning in the 1790s, when Major Pierce Butler planted the land on the Altamaha Delta, which provided perfect conditions for growing rice. In 1838, the major's grandson, Captain Pierce Butler, who married the famous and beautiful British stage actress Fanny Kemble, arrived at the plantation for a six-month working visit. Kemble, who was not familiar with the reality of slavery, immediately became very opposed to the treatment of the slaves. She penned her feelings and eventually published the notes in a book called "Journal of a Resident on a Georgia Plantation," which some say helped persuade the British to oppose slavery and the Civil War.
The plantation site is now owned by The Nature Conservancy, and the land (excluding the house) is open to the public for picnicking, fishing and birding. Sunsets can be dramatic, as the setting sun creates reflections of brilliant color in the Butler River.

Entomology News and Announcements
March 4, 2014Scientists in the Center for Pollinator Research at Penn State have received three grants from the United States Department of Agriculture and National Science Foundation to study various threats to honey bees, including disease, pesticides, and the extinction and invasion of other species into their habitats.
March 4, 2014Last summer, Finian Stroup was inspired to save the bees. She read the Time Magazine cover article describing the massive losses of honey bee colonies around the world, and knew that she could make a difference. And in just a few months, the eight year old raised over $1000 to help support research on honey bee health, while also raising awareness of the plight of bees in her community.
February 26, 2014Brown marmorated stink bugs cause millions of dollars in crop losses across the United States because of the damage their saliva does to plant tissues. Researchers at Penn State have developed methods to extract the insect saliva and identify the major protein components, which could lead to new pest control approaches.
February 14, 2014UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The environment significantly influences whether or not a certain bacterium will block mosquitoes from transmitting malaria, according to researchers at Penn State.
February 14, 2014UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Female Asian longhorned beetles lure males to their locations by laying down sex-specific pheromone trails on tree surfaces, according to an international team of researchers. The finding could lead to the development of a tool to manage this invasive pest that affects about 25 tree species in the United States.
