First, some exciting news! I just became a part of takelessons online lesson program, and now I can teach students from anywhere in the country! But I digress...
Let's see, first and foremost I'm a music lover of the highest order. Whether it's jazz, rock, indie, classical, hip-hop or country, if it's good music, I love it.
I grew up obsessively listening to everything i could get my hands on, and began playing guitar at the age of 11. That was cut short, though, when the next year I almost lost my middle finger on my left hand in an ice skating incident. It took 5 years for me to regain the strength and motion, during which time I was forced to give up guitar playing altogether. I never lost my passion for music, though, and in my heart i never stopped dreaming about what it would be like to be a professional musician. When I went away to college, I studied political science, but I also brought an acoustic guitar with me, and soon I was spending every free minute I could spare playing that guitar. I didn't begin seriously studying music, though, until I was almost 20 yrs old and in my 3rd year of college, and for years I was kicking myself for waiting so long. However, getting a bit of a late start motivated me to practice twice as hard, and now thirteen years later, I look at what happened as a total blessing. Having been deprived of playing music for so long, I truly appreciate and am thankful for every day that I get to make my living in music. It's something that I will never take for granted and it keeps me from ever getting bitter or jaded. As a teacher, my experiences have given me a unique perspective which allows me to really connect with my students. I vividly remember the difficulties and challenges I faced as a beginner, and that allows me to be proactive in helping my students avoid some of the pitfalls that I had to go through.
*** Lesson Details ***
I try to take into account each student's specific goals and musical tastes to design a course of study that will both challenge them and keep them motivated and excited about what they're learning. I believe that, even when working on challenging, difficult material, students should enjoy themselves, and that it's the teacher's responsibility to present the material in a way that will facilitate that for the student. I have a genuine respect for every student, regardless of their ability level, goals, musical tastes, age or gender, and I always take the time to get to know my students and adapt their lessons to best suit their individual learning styles.
I also try as often as possible to take advantage of the fact that I teach out of a fully functional recording studio, with amps, mics, my guitars, bass, mandolin, drum set and my midi keyboard which is connected to my computer which serves as the studio's hub. This allows me to record video and audio of lessons to let the students see and hear themselves and monitor they're progress. I can record video and audio examples of warm-ups and exercises, create backing tracks for students to practice with, even record demos for those students interested in writing original music.

Described by The Times Herald-Record, New York, as a "firm bass- baritone", and by The Boston Musical Intelligencer as "outstanding dramatically and musically", I am a classical singer with international credits, at home in diverse genres from opera to art song, Broadway to The American Songbook, spirituals to jazz and pop. I am also a professional drummer, pianist and instructor. I enjoy teaching, and view it as making music together in a class setting. Lessons are both disciplined and fun.
Recent highlights include the roles of The Master and Yefim in the U.S.-premiere of the opera "Desire to Sleep" by Moshe Shulman; the narrator in the world-premiere of "Experience" in English by Phivos-Angelos Kollias; world-premieres of "Missa Patri Pio" and "Canzoni Dantesche" by Leonardo Ciampa; the role of Jewish Man in the world-premiere of the opera "The Prioress's Tale" by Delvyn Case; The Omaggio al Bel Canto Best Interpretation Award at The Stelle dell'Anno Nuovo Festival in Boston, aired by Italy's RAI International TV; official recognition by The Massachusetts State Senate and Thomas Menino; a Bandwidth TV feature program aired on CCTV; and a performance as Emile de Becque with solos from "South Pacific" by Rodgers & Hammerstein at the historic USS Salem in the first-ever maritime festival of Quincy, Massachusetts.
"When you think of opera, the word modern doesn't usually follow. Bulent G... is changing the way we think about this centuries-old art form. G. is anything but a stereotypical opera singer... He isn't merely an opera singer, but a well-rounded musician. He has performed Broadway pieces, jazz solos, spirituals, and even contemporary pop songs, which he says inform his interpretation of even the most classical roles in opera. This approach to opera may be what draws crowds who aren't as familiar with the genre... This opera singer, who says his favorite music ranges from that of the heavy metal 80s band Cacophony to jazz pianist Chick Corea, shows that opera singers may not be what you think, and his audiences are surprisingly diverse as well..."

*Teachers marked as a Student Favorite have taught a minimum of 25
lessons and have received the highest feedback rating from students.My studios are open to students from all backgrounds and genres.
My vocal method is mainly based on Giovanni Battista Lamperti's Vocal Wisdom, combined with my own knowledge, experiences and discoveries as a singer. It has been deeply influenced by countless singers from many genres including Cicek Kanter (my teacher at the conservatory), Franco Corelli, Edita Gruberova, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Bryn Terfel, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Gordon MacRae, among others.
My drum method is based on my own experiences as a drummer, combined with teachings of artists such as Buddy Rich, Dave Weckl and Terry Bozzio.
The main piano method I use is Faber Piano Adventures. My technical and teaching approach has largely been influenced by artists such as Nazan Akin (my teacher at the conservatory), Eunyoung Kim (my longtime concert collaborator), Idil Biret, Marc-Andre Hamelin, Yuja Wang, Bill Evans and Chick Corea, combined with my own experiences as a pianist and drummer (as piano is a percussion instrument).

With a nationally known reputation as a Pop Music Producer, Voice and Piano Teacher, Voice Therapist and Vocal Rehabilitation Specialist and Woodwind expert with over 30 years of Teaching Experience, Jimi Z. will connect with you or your child's needs at their very first lesson. Jimi Z. teaches Singing, Pop Piano, Saxophone, Clarinet and Songwriting being qualified in all of those instruments and subjects.
Whether you or your child is taking lessons for fun or perhaps a possible music career, Jimi Z. has what it takes to give his students the optimum plan and environment to work with each student's schedule. His experience has allowed to him to guide his students locally and nationally.
Jimi has prepared and developed his students for college preparation and has not only helped them get into the colleges of their choice, but has helped them to get substantial scholarships. In this day and age of high tuition, this is a tremendous help for parents financing their children through college as well as outlining a wonderful life that will allow the student to not have the pressure of paying loans off after they complete college. Jimi has also developed and prepared his students for major auditions in Boston, New York and Los Angeles including some students who placed high in American Idol as high as Top 24 Nationally and "The Voice" on NBC TV.
Jimi will create a customized plan for you or for your child that is reasonable and fun on any of the instruments and subjects listed above. With a fun voice and music studio that includes a professional PA System, each student will have a fun experience singing and playing with the songs they love to sing and play using microphones and singing and playing over song tracks that enable them to work on their feel, pitch and groove. Younger students have enjoyed this experience as it gives a Karaoke and jamming kind of setting that allows each student to sing or play with the original recording and then sing or play it by themselves allowing them to build their confidence using a microphone and professional sound equipment. Jimi's elaborate music library of over 80,000 songs is also available to each student as well. Because of his medical training as a licensed and certified voice therapist, each student can be assured of learning to sing correctly and technically by using proven voice techniques that will enable each singing student to sing with power and expanded range without the danger of hurting or damaging their voice.
For the Saxophone and Clarinet student, Jimi uses 21st Century method books as well as the traditional methods he's used to get his students jamming and playing. A lot of time is spent in early lessons on teaching the student the correct way to blow the instrument to get a great sound. Typically, students will want to practice more when they sound great and a lot of time is spent on making a great sound to build their confidence and motivation.
Pop and Rock Piano Students will enjoy a modern approach to Piano that is not the typical Classical Approach that some children are disagreeable to. Jimi gets his Piano students to play modern pop and rock songs and students will learn how to jam and approach the piano with modern pop music instead of the old school classical approaches.
Songwriting is approached with song analysis first and then song form models are then looked at in the Old Style from the early 20th Century to the New Style forms used today. Then meticulous time is spent on Melody writing, Chord Writing, Basic Harmony and Lyrics. Jimi uses an approach to songwriting that is unique in its methodology by having the student believe that it is a LOT easier than you think it is. This confidence building methodology will have students writing songs in rapid time.
For those students who wish to use the Piano as learning tool to help their singing and pitch, as an option you can take Basic Piano with Jimi after your voice development has progressed. The Piano is an awesome tool for singers and learning to play simple vocal exercises, notes and chords on the Piano will truly enhance your singing experience. Songwriters who do not play a chordal instrument like Guitar and Piano will enjoy this because they need to be able to play chords to become the complete songwriter that can not only write melodies and lyrics, but chords as well.
Currently, Jimi leads a professional Original Country Music group that has released a full CD and plays around the New England area. Jimi teaches at three prestigious private schools and music schools in Boston teaching students between Age 6 and 18 at those schools. Jimi is also Lead Voice Faculty and runs the Voice Program at one of those schools. Jimi's versatility and background has allowed him to keep on top of the music scene providing him with an incredibly large wealth of music knowledge that dates back to the Jazz/Swing era all the way up to the pop music of today. Jimi Z. was born in New York City and grew up in Lynbrook, NY only 20 Miles from the Music and Arts Mecca of the world in New York City. He attended the Manhattan School of Music Preparatory Division in New York City from age 14 to 17. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1978-1979 and then transferred to New England Conservatory of Music and received his Bachelor of Music in Contemporary Improvisational Studies as a double major in Voice and Saxophone Studies from New England Conservatory of Music.
Jimi is a Licensed Voice Therapist and has an incredible working knowledge of the Voice Anatomy and Physiology of the Voice. He has the ability to teach Speech, Acting and Singing. He also is networked well with some of the top Ear, Nose and Throat Doctors, Ornolaryngologists, and Speech Pathologists and works in tandem with them on Voice Rehabilitation cases. He is also aligned with top Ear Nose and Throat Hospitals including the Massachusetts, Eye and Ear Infirmary and St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Boston. While the average student will not need these services from a voice therapy perspective, Jimi teaches a preventative singing technique that allows his singing students to learn to sing with power without pressing, pushing or belting on the voice so that his students will never hurt their voice or lose their voice. Jimi is Certified to teach the McClosky Voice Technique and uses other techniques including Alexander and Bel Canto in addition to his own philosophies.
Jimi has dedicated himself to teaching music to young talent for over 30 years professionally. He has taught and performed all over the world in major music groups as a player and a band leader. Because of his many years of teaching children and adults of all ages, Jimi has an uncanny ability to focus on each student's needs. Whether the student is a child that wants to take lessons for fun and recreation or whether the student is considering music as possible career or part time career,
Jimi focuses on getting to understand each student's needs so that he and the student can agree on a realistic lesson plan with realistic goals. He focuses on asking each student exactly what they want to do in their first lesson and then sets up a realistic practice schedule with each student so that they can meet the goals they agree on. For the "doing it for fun" younger student, Jimi uses a philosophy that motivates the student to practice by using a work/fun balance that stresses working towards public performance when possible.
One thing that Jimi thrives on as a teacher is to get each student to jam with the music. Whether it means that they sing or play along with the original version using CDs or with an IPOD or having his students play by ear, the student can sing and play using Karaoke or original recorded Versions in his studio, Jimi stresses the need to jam to give the feeling of performing to students as soon as possible. Without question, jamming, singing and playing with the song is the ultimate training for a musician.
One other important thing involved in Jimi's lessons is to get the student comfortable and effective with using a microphone for his singing students. Jimi has a complete professional PA system in his Metro Boston Studio to allow the student to work on microphone technique and monitoring techniques as well. Whether you or your child wants a casual "for fun" philosophy or you or your child are career minded about music, Jimi will find a fun philosophy for each student that is not necessarily a "one size fits all" approach. The cool resources and gadgets in Jimi's Music Studio include a state of the art PA System complete with Pro Equipment that will simulate Stage Performance for students. It allows the students at any level to sing with Produced Tracks or Basic Karaoke with Microphones as well as Pro Settings. The studio will give students the ability to perform in a private setting so that they can develop the skills to perform in public. Microphone and Monitoring Techniques are also worked on and Jimi also uses all of the Vocal Technology Products he endorses to make the student's voices even better with these awesome enhancements. The philosophy is to learn to sing without all of these enhancement products first and then put the student's voice over the top with them later. Jimi wants to get the students ready as fast as possible technically and then bring songs into the mix quickly as well.
While the student works on their songs, Jimi focuses on what kind of songs the student does exceptionally well and then builds on those strengths while working on the student's own unique personal style. If the Voice/Singing student is looking to be a Singer/Songwriter, Jimi also teaches Songwriting and Personal Style Development to enable each student to develop their own unique style through Artist Development practices that his company works on. Whether you're a Solo Artist or you're part of a band or group, Jimi will help you find your own personal style so that you are unique and not a copy of another artist .
While Jimi has no children of his own, his "kids" are his music students and he takes a lot of pride in watching them grow as musicians as well as in life.
Jimi plays a wide variety of instruments and is a Songwriter, Record Producer, Studio Musician, Promoter and Talent Scout. His talent development company has existed since 1991 and has produced many shows in the New England area since then. In 2002, the company expanded and started to help musicians to expand their music careers and in 2009 Jimi's dream of having a recording studio was then realized. It enabled his voice students and talent clients to fully expand their careers by not only coaching with Jimi, but being produced and recorded in his company's studio. Jimi has produced demos and full CDs for his students and Talent Clients and has helped them to get their music careers going.
Jimi is also responsible for preparing Teens for Colleges and University Programs that know they want to pursue music as a career. Jimi has not only been successful in getting his teen students into the college or university of their choice, but has also put his students in a position to get them substantial grants and full college and university scholarships. Jimi has also created a successful TEEN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (T.D.P.) for young teens who know that they want a music career.
The T.D.P. is designed so that if a young adult works with Jimi for numerous years that they can pick a career path suitable for them. The T.D.P. can have a student with any one of three career paths 1) College/University Path where a large repertoire and portfolio is created for presentation to Colleges and Universities to not only allow a student to get into the Higher Education Institution of their choice, but to get them the scholarships and grants that they deserve so that they and their parents are not shelling out as much as $300,000 for those costs. The Higher Education Plan is built on a the development of an impressive portfolio of hundreds of songs, Demo CD, Demo DVD, Original Songs and the building of a Performance Resume in the student's teen years.
This Portfolio is then presented to Higher Education Institutions to allow a realistic chance of getting into the college of their choice and getting substantial scholarship and grant money. The success of the T.D.P. is amazing as many of Jimi's students have been accepted into colleges and universities and received scholarships. 2) The second T.D.P. is for those students and parents who simply want to learn what they need to move their music careers by doing complete development with Jimi directly. While Jimi is a graduate of New England Conservatory of Music and stresses a college education, sometimes it isn't possible or sometimes career minded musicians simply want a teacher to guide them in their career path without going to college or a university. Some musicians who have a higher caliber of talent will take this path knowing that they or their parents might want to pay for the financing of a recording a professional CD with a modest budget compared to the potential $300,000 budget Higher Education Institutions charge.
If your child is considering a music career, whatever career path he or she decides, Jimi is more than qualified to help plan that path. Some of Jimi's students entering the T.D.P. Program have had Portfolios of over 500 songs in different genres of music, have impressive resumes, go out on acting auditions, have formed their own groups or developed themselves as solo artists and have also studied song writing with Jimi to realize their own dream of writing their own songs as well as recording them in his studio. The T.D.P is not for the casual student taking lessons for fun, but it is there if the student needs it. The resources that Jimi has to help his students and the network of musicians and music business people he knows is an incredible asset. 3) The Third Career Path of Jimi's T.D.P. is for the student to pursue both Career Paths 1 and 2). This can be accomplished by the talented and elite students that study with Jimi
Jimi can help you with the marketing part of your career. The resources of his company allow his talent clients to develop websites, Press Kits, Electronic Press Kits, Produce Demos, CDs as well as develop a live show if your act is a solo artist or group. The phenomenon of Social Media which has blown up the past 18 months is staggering and music artists need to use that technology in promoting their careers. Studying with Jimi opens the door to all of the marketing things that his company does to promote his artists. There is nothing more gratifying to Jimi than seeing his students succeed. With the ever changing aspects of the business side of the music business, Jimi and his company have their hands on pulse of the future as well as the changes that happen daily.
Whatever walk of life you or your child come from, Jimi Z. will help you to become the singer and performer you want to be. Jimi can help you find your voice, make you sound and play great on your instrument or teach you musicianship skills that are essential to a successful music career. Or if you're taking lessons for fun, Jimi will teach you to love playing and have a fun and pleasurable experience.
Jimi takes pride in being a great and experienced teacher of over 30 years, but he is still an active performer and principal songwriter. Nothing makes Jimi happier than a student who grows as a musician in his studio that loves to play music and have fun.
*** Lesson Details ***
One important thing to consider about taking Singing Lessons or Voice Lessons is that The Learning Curve is much quicker for both Adults and Children compared to the Learning Curve of other instruments like Guitar, Piano or Drums. There are certain aspects of learning to sing that make the learning curve happen within months and not years. This makes singing so much easier for everyone to learn in a timely manner. This can help with younger students who might be less patient and might have lower attention spans.
Depending on whether the student is doing lessons for fun or for a possible career, Jimi Z.'s teaching philosophy stresses good vocal technique that allows the student to develop maximum vocal range to hit higher notes that they never could hit by relaxing the muscles in and around the larynx.
Students will learn good posture and breathing and learn how to execute singing by doing warm-up/workouts that strengthen the correct muscles in the larynx and the abdominal muscles. The philosophy of execution on these exercises will seamlessly transcend into doing the same execution in songs.
Students will receive a Warm-up/Workout CD to practice to which is easy to follow. Songs will be introduced as soon as possible. Tone will improve as muscles strengthen. Students will later work on Microphone Technique, using Vocal Technologies,effects and really cool gadgets that are available in Jimi's studio via his product endorsements, Monitoring and the development of the student's own personal style are worked on by Pro Students.
Later in the curriculum, students can look forward to not only enjoying the benefits of range expansion and good tone because of the relaxed vocal technique, but then they'll be able to explore further range expansion through Passsagio Bridging to the Mix Voice and Falsetto register combined with microphone technique. Students will have the opportunity to use Karaoke CDs as well as a device which removes vocals off of conventional Music CDs so that they can sing in a Pro setting that is live and true.
Overall the methods Jimi Z. uses are The McClosky Technique (Jimi is Certified), Bel Canto Technique, The Alexander Technique for alignment and body mapping and The Jimi Z. Pop Vocal Approach to singing. Jimi Z. takes his approach with each student individually.
Pop Piano Students can look forward to an unconventional approach not used by many classical piano teachers. This is a welcome idea that most younger students welcome with open arms because you don't need to play classical music or be trained classically to effectively play Pop or Rock as many people will misunderstand as being the norm. Pop/Rock Piano Students can look forward to learning basic fingerings to formulate melody on both hands. All students will learn major scales and then learn to finger 3 note chords on both hands. It is then that the students start to jam to recorded CDs and keep up with the recorded version by playing simple chords and simple melodies. Later on in the development, if the student wants to take things to a higher level, improvisational studies can be introduced that are more difficult. A lot of time is spent learning things by ear and a lot of jamming is encouraged with simple songs first evolving into more challenging songs later on.

I've been studying voice since I was about 14 years. I grew up doing Musical Theatre, Jazz, Choir-both church and school. I started to fall in love with opera when I was about 16 years and have not looked back. I grew up in the mid-west in the grand land of Fargo, North Dakota and then started my education in Voice Performance and Theatre in Minnesota. I received my masters degree in voice performance and a post masters degree in Opera Studies from The New England Conservatory of Music. During my time in school I have had the chance to perform both in the United States and throughout Europe in many different performance settings including choral, recitals, and operas. I have also been teaching a wide age range of students through out my masters and post masters degree. I have a long resume of performance experiences that I believe will be beneficial to my students. I have a love of both performing and teaching and am still actively on stage and auditioning.
*** Lesson Details ***
The key component to music of any kind is to have fun. If you are not having fun then it is not worth doing. The only way to run is to crawl, walk and then run so remember that with hard work and practice you will get where you need to go. I like to start my students off figuring out where they are in their musical studies and proficiency. For some students it is about having fun and for others its about getting ready for an audition or competition but in both situations we will focus on the major components of healthy singing which include:
Breath Control
And relaxed vocal production
We will always start the lesson out focusing on any questions you might have from your weeks practice time. If you might be confused on something that we did the week before- I think it is important to tape your lessons with some type of recording device but if that is too expensive I will write everything down for you. We then work on some of the old vocal warm ups/ vocalizes. These are not just about warming up but also working on technique at the same time. If there is a difficult part in your music I will try to find an exercise that will make it easier to do that section of music. And then we will spend some time on different music.
I have a large variety of curriculum ranging from art song books, to aria and Broadway books. If I don't have something in my library I will try to find it so don't feel hesitate to ask if there is something that you might like to learn.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Home Studio with Keyboard, there is room for parents to sit if they would like to listen to their children's lesson.

I can provide music for the students. I usually can photocopy music and bring it to the students lessons. If they student would like to buy certain materials I can let you know what is the cheapest method for purchasing the music. Its important to have a good library but I understand expenses. I ask that the student have a notebook for notes and a pencil to write notes in their music as a well as a keyboard or piano and if at all possible a music stand.
*** Specialties ***
I'm classical trained soprano with a background in Opera, Art Song, Oratorio, Musical Theatre and Jazz. I am open to teaching many different genres of music but have all my students learn the foundations which include some classical music. I will also do some basic theory or music knowledge depending the skill level of the student.
Acting, Music Performance, Piano, Singing, Songwriting
I have taught piano and voice most of my adult life. Early on I learned the need to adapt my teaching style to the uniqueness of each student, especially those whose perceptions differ widely from the general populace. I love what I do, helping each student discover and nurture their abilities, no matter what age the student may be.
The Holistic Piano method is especially effective with my Autism-spectrum students, a segment of the population I find particularly rewarding to teach.
The following is a quote from ex-student Karena Krull, author of "Drama Made Easy", and "Rummy Roots."
"Her greatest strength is her ability to find the right direction for each individual. This ability to adapt to the student's needs lends to individual success for student and avoids their frustration. If her current method or communication isn't creating success for a student she will quickly change to another till she finds the right words or method to enable the student to succeed with the least amount of frustration."
*** Lesson Details ***
I draw on a wide range of materials in The Holistic Piano (and voice) method. The curriculum may be color-based or number-based, we might focus on chord building or sight-reading, or Songwriting, depending on the student's need and desire.

Japan is sort of the class leader when it comes to Asian porn, with a huge market for sexy stuff. It's sexy girls like Ryo Odagiri that make this all possible, stunningly hot, natural and very sexy Japanese girls with small tits and great love of sex. Ryo Odagiri has about a big A cup worth of tits American size (probably a 83B or so Japanese size, which is pretty darn petite). Her small tits still have some nice shape to them, and are full enough for squeezing and play. She loves to get off on camera, this girl has very sensitive nipples and can cum just from getting them flicked and sucked! Excellent!
Tag Archives: AVIdolz
One of the amazing things about the Japanese porn world is that new girls come and go like trains at a station, if you miss one, you can always catch the next one. Yuu Hazuki is one of those girls, she started out as a bikini model and finally moved on to semi-nude and nude work, and then AV stuff. She has a sexy body, with nice tiny asian tits, but not mega tiny, just small and well defined. Her nipples are very tasty looking, and seem to get hard very easily. She loves to show off, and you can see in her eyes that she is a natural born cock teaser. With a sexy body like her, can you blame her?

I want to leave college and move somewhere else, be it another country or city. I feel that study in the UK has done no good for me, and would rather serve God. I simply want to work and pray. What should I do? What kind of job would I get? College really isn't working out for me, I've sinned enough and feel it will get MUCH worse. I'm 17. My parent's are Muslim but I have never prayed and embraced Islam ever since I moved to this country.

One suggestion: Please keep the title of your question specific and relevant. Generic question titles like "Please help me" are very ambiguous for other users to find and answer.

You can embrace Islam in any country you are. You arent the first or last that has moved and been pushed away.
Before thinking about moving and getting jobs.. you have to wake up.. and knowbthat the problem is not from what country you are in...but the real problem is with you. Fight temptations. Regret. Repent. Pray. Ask Allah for forgiveness. I know that maybebthe country could be more helpful - but dont loose to the shaitan. You being here might be the first steps of change.
Go to a mosque brother - talk to an imam - change your friends
May Allah guide you.

Assalam-0-Alikum Brother,
You want to serve God but you don't want to study. I must tell you that study is also a good deed in front of Allah (S.W.T) and you earn continuous reward for that while you study, However you can study in any Madarsa as well for getting knowledge of Holy Quran and Sunnah.
Now to your question, that what kind a job you can do while you haven't finished the college yet?
Answer: Join a Call Center, Provide Tutions, Work in a Car Wash, Restaurants or Grocery Stores etc.
The thing is that you will not earn enough money to support your future family and one day might you will regret for leaving college. But If you follow the command of Allah (S.W.T) and continue your study, you can get a more respectable job with much more salary so that you can do charity and earn rewards for obeying the command of Allah (S.W.T) and also the reward for helping needy. plus living a luxurious life in this world as well. Brother Allah (S.W.T) does not want to take your comfort away from you and ask just to prostate in front of himself. Allah (S.W.T) gave you family, relations and so their responsibilities as well. If you don't fulfill your responsibilities and think that by only praying a lot you can earn Allah's happiness then you are wrong brother.
My advice to you is that, continue your study, offer all the compulsory prayers and read the Holy Qur'an with translation so that you will understand, and try your best to follow the Sunnah of Holy Prophet (S.A.W). Following all of these are better then leaving all your responsibilities and praying 24 hours.
It is often said that,
"The ink of an Scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr"
And the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said:
"The search of knowledge is an obligation laid on every Muslim."
(Ibn Majah, Baihaqi).

It started as a proposal to grant Eastern Shipbuilding Group a tax exemption. But before Bay County commissioners could take action at their Tuesday meeting, a group of Allanton residents made some noise about their noisy neighbor.
A handful of citizens told commissioners they are paying the price for the company's growth. "We need to have a little bit of quality of life too," said Curt Wolstenholm. "It's nothing like getting woke up at three o'clock in the morning with sand blasting going on."
"The noise and vibrations at my house for the last three years have just been untolerable," said Dennis Anders.
Both men were among about three dozen Allanton residents who signed a petition complaining about noise coming from the shipyard and dangers caused by heavy vehicle traffic on County Road 2297.
But those concerns weren't on the commission's agenda. The business at hand was Eastern's request for an ad valorem property tax exemption for the purchase of $7.6 million worth of equipment. County voters approved the use of tax incentives for new and expanding companies in referendums held in 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2010.
According to Brian D'Isernia, the company's president, Eastern Shipbuilding employs about 1,500 workers at its two Bay County yards (Allanton and Millville) and the new equipment will create a need for 100 additional employees.
"The question before us today was did D'Isernia's shipbuilding operation have the right to get a tax break that the citizens of Bay County voted to give because of his expansion of his business," said Commissioner Mike Thomas. "He did, so we voted to do that."
The shipbuilder's top executive told commissioner he wants to make peace with his neighbors. "Our property is zoned at Allanton and Nelson Street heavy industrial [and] we meet the codes," said D'Isernia. "However, we will do what is reasonable to help alleviate that situation."
Company representatives and residents of the Allanton community will have a sit down later this week. "I'm encouraged by the fact that Eastern Shipbuilding and the citizens have all agreed to meet," said Commissioner Guy Tunnell. "I hope that's a peaceful meeting and they can resolve their issues."
The board urged the Allanton group to take their traffic concerns to law enforcement.

7th Harry Potter Book's Spoilers Leaked Online
7th Harry Potter Book's Spoilers Leaked Online
by POPSUGAR Entertainment 70 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Well, Harry Potter fans, someone has gone and done it. Someone with an advance copy of the 7th installment of the series has leaked spoilers from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows online — and some of them are doozies.
The spoiling writer gives a rundown of plot details, and backs everything up with images of the actual book itself.
If you're absolutely completely sure you want to know what happens, click here to read the spoilers. But don't say I didn't warn you. And please don't post comments with spoilers below!

Jexxiland- I finished the book yesterday. Virtually every single thing on the spoiler page is completely false.
Phasekitty 7 years
Having finished the book last night, I came back to this post to read what had been leaked and most of these spoilers are completely wrong. That's funny that people thought they were taking a short cut out of reading the book- I guess they'll be surprised when they see the movie!
TJoy 7 years
It's interesting to note that some of these so called "spoilers" are in fact bogus. Guess that person didn't really read the book or chose to fool people...what prats these people are for posting gibberash.
misguidedexyouth 7 years
yeach! i hate spoilers. sucks the fun out of reading.
screammylungzout 7 years
reading those spoilers now, quite a bit of them arent true...
anners 7 years
I met the guy who "discovered" the leak, through my work. He was all over our local newspapers. I don't know about the actual spoilers, though... I guess someone read it and started that separately altogether.
smp7328 7 years
i love spoilers. i am all about instant gratification when it comes to tv shows and these types of books. i hate waiting. i want to know now. if you want to know, it's cool to be informed, but that doesn't mean you have to spoil it for those who don't want to know.
dguillenm 7 years
It is amazing what some people will do. How they can be filled with such hate to ruin an experience of joy for so many. To think these books have caused reading to be enjoyable once more for children of the no child left behind generation. Which have been left behind and forgotten. Difficult times lie ahead.
shmoo15 7 years
I'm strong! I won't read it!
bleu-skittle 7 years
Wow. Someone is going to be (or already is) in serious trouble. I used to be a shift manager at a bookstore and we had to sign actual agreements stating that we would NOT even OPEN the boxes before the release date. If we did, it basically said in so many words we'd be fired. It was intense...
MissAntipodea 7 years
I really don't understand some people.
ginghamgirl 7 years
i dunno, spoilers don't really affect me. i just don't understand why people would want to ruin the fun in reading the book. then again, everyone is free to do as he/she pleases.

i'm not going to read them, but its not like i read the books to JUST know what happens...they are written so well. :)
jexxiland 7 years
i cant believe i read it... please, someone tell me it's not true!
Neif 7 years
I really hope they are. Though I'm pretty sure the book that started going around yesterday was real.
sabrinabarekzai 7 years
Thanks Neif. Given more thought, I'm thinking the spoilers are fake.
lucyS 7 years
I think these plot leakages are terrible. Shame on all those who are doing it.
prblms4loki 7 years
yeap, definitely different spoilers around than those above. very different.
cassee 7 years
I hope no one goes to the link for the leak. I know the options open, but I think it's important to maintain the secrecy of the plot. Maybe I sound like a prude, but it's coming out in only 3 days, and it's horrible that someone out there sunk so low to ruin something that means a lot to people around the world.
jennifer76 7 years
Totally agree with Padraigin. What does leaking plot info from a book have to do with journalism...? This is really lame.
Neif 7 years
Oopsie, I had posted the link but it needs approval. Let's just say they took it down. :) I'm trying to find some other places for those of you curious to be able to read the pages.
Neif 7 years
Ddene5713, I got the link on mininova.org (they had the full .zip for download. There's nothing anymore). I got it all on this link, but look what comes up now: http://bayimg.com/album/NaaacAaAB But you know, once online, forever online. It's just a matter of time. I'm trying to find it to post the link here.
mrflibble 7 years
Who cares about these spoilers? Even if these are true, the book will be worth being read! Didn't we "enjoyed" watching Titanic while we already knew the boat had to sink in the end?
ddene5713 7 years
neif. whats the link to the leaked one you read?
Neif 7 years
Well, as I said, I read the photographed pages of the supposed leaked book (all pretty, looked like the others. If it's fake, it's a hell of a fake) and no, these spoilers above are not correct. Or at least not the major details and main characters and all.
allenorton 7 years
i watched a youtube spoiler, but i'm quite skeptical... i believe that JK has a bit more integrity than that. i trust sugar that these are probably the real thing, so i will STAY AWAY! Can't wait until friday night, potter-palooza! I've already got some supplies for that butterbeer recipe you posted, i tried it a couple days ago and it was awesome, i'm totally making it to carry me through the rounds of potter-parties i'll be at.
sabrinabarekzai 7 years
Spoilers suck but...I read them all! Are they true? Any confirmation of the spoilers being real/fake? Please, SOMEBODY!
pattyxxcore 7 years
i work at a bookstore and we got a couple boxes of harry potter books. we're getting like 3000+ books!! thats so silly, it's such a silly fad. anyway, someone "accidentally" tore open one of the corners of the box and all of the employess were like "EEE WE KNOW HOW BIG THE BOOK IS WE KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN PERSON!!" who cares? sheesh. I have to work until TWO in the morning for such a silly little thing. /rant haha
gossipqueen 7 years
damn it!!...I've already seen sites with spoilers..luckily they write it in white and you have to highlight to see it...so i haven't seen anything...I think I won't touch my computer after today untill i get the book..lol...weird i know...but I wanna find out for myself!
german-girl 7 years
these people have nothing better to do--- i mean, spoilers or no spoilers--- nothing beats the real deal, when you are actually reading the book. i say, let's not talk about that person anymore, obviously that person is trying to take away the limelight from jk, harry and the legacy of the book.
mellie_608 7 years
I just heard on the news that another Harry Potter Spoiler just happened in the Chicago area. Apparently an online retailer accidently sent out copies of the book early there and some people will receive it today! I guess JK has asked people to keep the plot a secret and not read the book until everyone else can! YEAH RIGHT! You know they'll dive right in the minute they get it!! Looks like that retailer has a lot of explaining to do as well as lots of fines to pay!
sammmmanthaj 7 years
I completely sympathize with cageyme - sometimes I just get so anxious over what's going to happen that I just skip to the end, read the final outcome & then continue from where i was before. I think this enables me to better absorb the book, instead of being so nervous that I rush through passages and gloss over certain parts. So I did read the spoilers, but they did nothing to alleviate the stress due to the fact that they aren't all that believable, since they're so contradicting.
divinedebris 7 years
I haven't read the books but natural curiosity makes me want to learn about what's going on in the books, especially the final. I posted about the leak to the internet yesterday, it wasn't a very good bookmark though, get it didn't get any attention. I've seen the entire photo graphed book- online- and it seems pretty authentic but they pages are to blurry that you can't read most of the print. oh well, I wonder what the book will be like and how it will match up with the spoilers.
Padraigin 7 years
I'm even questioning the veracity of the "book" photographs. Some of those passages are not even bad fanfic worthy and I'm not certain they even sound like JK Rowling. I didn't want to read too deeply from the photographed pages because I would like to enjoy the book on Saturday.
Neif 7 years
Those spoilers are fake, at least from what I've read from the photographs taken of the book.
blogsap 7 years
i love ya buzz, but i must say i'm kinda sad to see you have a link to one of these sites.
arianell 7 years
the spoilers don't seem "real" to me. all the stuff listed on that website is fairly predictable, and i have more faith in j.k. rowling's writing ability than to assume she would end the series without a twist or two in the final book.
intensebandgeek 7 years
That really sucks!!!
Kazagirl 7 years
That is terrible...I am trying my hardest to not check comments on some of my favorite websites because I know there will be people on there trying to ruin the plot for fans. I can't wait until Saturday though.
cageyme 7 years
You can laugh if you want, but reading exciting books where the outcome isn't clear is stressful for me. If I'm really stressed, I'll just skip to the end to find out what happens and then go back to where I was before. That way I can enjoy the rest of the book without my blood pressure going through the roof. I might steal a peak at the spoilers before Saturday.
taylorbath 7 years
It's becoming really hard to avoid the spoilers, but I'm going to try. I want to read it for myself.
SweetE 7 years
Why support someone who would leak this? I'll wait until Saturday!
swwonder 7 years
I stopped reading the books a while ago for so many reasons I can't be bothered to moan about. So this suits me fine, it just saves me having to wait until my bff buys it, reads it and tells me how it finishes.

spoilers = laziness. I don't think knowing what happens is interesting at all without the knowledge of what led up to it.

Just read the spoilers. Still plan to read the book. Who knows, these could all be teases.
d_ford 7 years
I love spoilers, but for Harry Potter, I can't do it. I am so excited for the book and I love JK Rowling therefore I wouldn't want to spoil any of the fun. I'm going to have to keep my head in the sand since I won't be getting the book for a couple weeks! :'(

To read the spoiler or not to read the spoiler? I can't decide.

shafii - i agree with you! READ THE BOOKS instead of ruining them for everyone else if you're going to talk about them.
LaLaLaurie06 7 years
my bf read an apparent "leak" of what happens at the end of the book. i've told him i don't wanna know but he says i will, so he's going to try and get me a copy right when it comes out so i can read it for myself. :)
WhatTheFrockBlog 7 years
BOO. Someone sucks.
Padraigin 7 years
a lot of the spoilers are pure crap and contradict each other, often on the same site. And I'm a professional journalist (Masters in Journalism and Communications) and find it reprehensible that anyone would leak this information, if it is, indeed true. It's not a matter of "getting the information first", it's a matter of being a colossal ass.
books-and-shoes 7 years
I also heard spoilers on the radio. I'm not a huge HP fan but my bro is and I would hate it if I was and anyone told me what happened at the end!
Chaoticfury 7 years
I can understand why people don't like spoilers, but I applaud anyone who manages to get the information out there before anyone else (too many journalism classes I guess...)i never read the books, but respect Rowling greatly and I hope she continues to write many books afterwards.
shafiii 7 years
people are ridiculous. just cause they dont read the books does not mean they can spoil it for the rest of us. cause the people who end up reading the spoilers just talk about it. its like read the book. you might actually be doing something with your time. spoliers = not cool

Boo on spoilers! I am amazed that any real spoilers got out, considering the super tight security surrounding the book.

I read a few of the spoilers (they don't bother me) and all of them are different so that's quite funny. I guess I'll find out which one is correct on Saturday.
AtatakaiSunshine 7 years

Jury preserves Stangel's chance at paroleUPDATED 6:07 PM HST May 20, 2013
Jurors who found a Wahiawa man guilty of second-degree murder extended the term of a firearms conviction on Monday in connection with the 2011 shooting in Kapahulu and on the H-1 Freeway.Video Transcript
New tonight -- there's still a chance convicted H-1 gunman Toby Stangel could get out of prison. It's a long-shot -- and it would be a long time from now -- but today a jury stopped short of recommending a life sentence WITHOUT parole. As KITV4's Lara Yamada reports... it's all his family dared to hope for. 500-03 Toby said this is devastating. Shortly after their son's shooting spree, Mike Stangel remembers well the phone call that changed their lives. 503-12 He realized what he did back them and he still hurts for the family because their pain is still there. On Thursday, a jury convicted his son Toby on nine felony counts, for murdering Tammy Nuygen at a Kaimuki stop light, and for injuring two others in a 17- minute shooting spree two years ago. Today, smiling to his family as he entered the court room, now convicted murderer Toby Stangel faced a jury again. To determine if he'll stay behind bars forever. DEFENSE 927-42 The fact at issue boils down to one thing: is it possible or definite or is there hope for Mr. Stangel or despair? PROSECUTOR1 945-50 Is it neccessary for the protection of the public? It's what the state set out to prove. In 2004, Stangel pleaded no contest on one firearms charge. There was no jail time - with a judge, releasing him from supervision a year early in 2008. Three years later, he launched into drug and alcohol soaked shooting spree. 225 I think he deserves to be behind bars for the rest of his life. But today, a jury could not decide if that should happen, ending with no answer for seven out of eight convictions. 36-46 Of course we're disappointed, but we're glad that at least some people agreed that an extended term is neccessary for the protection of the public. The jury did bump up one charge from 10 to 20 years. But leaving the hope his family wanted, that one day, he'll still have a chance at freedom. 340-50 We love our son unconditionally. We know god's not done with him yet and we hope this phase can be put to rest. Lara Yamada KITV4 News. Toby's father says his son is not only a changed man, but has finally become the son he always wanted. Prosecutors say they will seek consecutive terms at Stangel's sentencing in August -- which could ultimately keep him behind bars for the rest

The Bottom Line
I really enjoyed this hand warmer, when it stayed lit. I suspect I may have been part of the problem, but the warmer let me down more than once. It burned for about thirteen hours one day, and the next day it was dead within an hour or two. I felt like I'd done everything the same way, but perhaps I hadn't.
I'm sure that, with regular use, it would be easy to learn the ins and outs of keeping it lit. This is a quality product, and should last for years.
- Helps avoid the use of disposable air-activated hand warmers.
- Provides good warmth and can last all day long - much longer than air-activated warmers.
- Available in a variety of finishes.
- Includes filler cup and soft cloth bag.
- Made in Taiwan
- Warranted for just two years (Zippo's famous lifetime warranty does not apply).
- Can be difficult to keep burning.
- Sometimes it smells just like the lighter fluid that fuels it.
- Zippo brand hand catalytic warmer that uses burning lighter fluid to produce warmth.
- Can be used for hunting, camping, skiing, fishing, watching sports games... any outdoor activity, really.
- Package includes instruction sheet, warmer, cloth bag, and plastic cup for measuring and pouring the lighter fluid.
- Two-year warranty (doesn't cover the finish, bag, or burner).
- Model number 40182.
- Weight of unfilled warmer with cloth bag: 2.95 ounces.
- Dimensions: 4" x 2-3/4" x 5/8"
Not a Bad Way to Warm Your Hands
The Zippo hand warmer uses fire to provide heat, which can really help keep you warm out there in the field. Sometimes, just a bit of heat deep inside your coat near your heart can really help improve your overall comfort, and if your hands are cold-natured (as are mine), a source of heat to keep them un-frozen is really a great thing.
It's tough to remain still when you're uncomfortable, and being still is something that a hunter must do in order to be successful. In addition, cold fingers become numb and unresponsive, and that's a very bad thing when those fingers are called upon to operate a gun or bow.
I have been fighting my cold hands for more than three decades, and I usually hunt in the southern USA... if I spent much time hunting where it was seriously cold, I don't know if I'd have lasted as long as I have. I have tried quite an array of gloves to keep my hands warm, but they generally don't do the job. "Glomitts," or "pop-top gloves," work the best for me... but even then, I sometimes have to have some source of heat other than my body.
Air-activated warmers have saved my bacon more than once, and I keep a supply of them on hand during hunting season, but they are inconsistent. Just when I need them to be good and warm, they'll sometimes be either barely warm or not warm at all. So I'm constantly taking them out of my pockets to shake them and expose them to more air, to make sure they don't wilt and die.
Catalytic heaters have been around for years. I remember seeing them advertised in hunting magazines when I was a kid, and asking Dad about them. His response was that they worked okay, but they stunk and he disliked them. That was enough to keep me away from them for a long time, but eventually I just had to try one out.
Enter Zippo, and a departure from their traditional line of lighters. I obtained a Zippo hand warmer in early 2010 and quickly began testing it. It worked great during an outdoors dog training class in January, and I was mighty glad to have it.
Next came turkey season, and some unseasonably cold weather. I fired up the warmer and headed to the woods. I caught a chill and some kind of bug and ended up in bed by 10:00 AM - and the warmer had already died and been re-lit after a bunch of hassle. It was also pretty stinky, smelling just like the smelly lighter fluid that fueled it.
I finally felt human enough to hunt again a couple days later, and the warmer stayed lit and warm until around 8:00 PM. But the next day, it once again died quickly.
I suspect I just need more experience getting the fluid level (and the amount of moisture present on the burner when lighting) correct, and that, with familiarity, it will become a definite and trusted friend when I'm hunting in cold weather.
I'm glad to own this warmer, and I think it will last for many years to come.

Phil Mickelson cited mental fatigue as his reason for withdrawing from the Memorial Tournament on Thursday. Playing partners Rickie Fowler and Bubba Watson, however, hinted that it may have been the constant clicking of fans' cell phone cameras that drove the popular lefty from the star-studded Muirfield Village Golf Club field.
"It took Phil out of his game," Watson, a regular critic of the PGA Tour's rule that lets spectators carry phones on the course, told the Associated Press. "Phil's a great player and a great champion and it just took him out of his game. It's sad. It's sad that cell phones can make or break a championship."
That and a 7-over 79 -- Mickelson's worst round ever at Jack Nicklaus' tourney -- were probably enough to send Phil packing. Lefty chalked his bad day up to too much golf (Thursday was his fourth start in five weeks) and merry-making (he helped his wife Amy celebrate her 40th birthday in Europe), and said he needed to marshal his reserves for the U.S. Open in two weeks.
"I think mentally I'm a little bit fatigued," Mickelson told reporters after Thursday's grind. "I'm hitting it so poorly that … I have to look at what's best for me to play in the U.S. Open, and I'm going to take the next few days to kind of rest up."
Fowler, while less dour about the cell phone issue than Watson, noted that the packed gallery could have driven Mickelson to distraction.
"There were a few phones out there," a chuckling Fowler told the AP. "There were a few times when we had to back off and reset. You could see Phil was a little fatigued and was having trouble blocking it out a bit."
Watson was not so amused by the antics of those in the gallery.
"Yeah, it was bad. But it's been pretty bad ever since they made that rule," Watson said. "When they make these marquee pairings, more people are going to follow them and more people want to take pictures. So it makes it very difficult.
"Ever since they made that rule that cell phones are allowed, it's just not fun playing."
Apparently not. Bubba limped in with a less-than-spectacular 75 in his first start since returning from a month's hiatus due to his own burnout after celebrating his Masters victory in April. Fowler is at 71 -- five shots off Scott Stallings' pace-setting 66.
Mickelson, by the way, won't be off the course for long. He told reporters he would participate in a corporate event after the weekend.
"I have a Monday outing," he said.
