The Top Ten
1Johnny Cash
The most imposing and influential artist in the history of country music. He created his own genre, consisting of the blunt emotional honesty of folk, the rebelliousness of rock & roll, and the world-weariness of country. When it comes to country music, Johnny Cash stands alone at the very top and will remain there as long as this old world keeps on turning.
Johnny has billions of good songs and is far better than all Taylor Swifts teenage heartbreak songs about whoever she just dated.
No competition.. But why is Taylor Swify and Tim Mcgraw in the top 10? What about Willie and Merle?More comments about Johnny Cash
2George Jones
It's only fitting that the best country song in history was performed by the best true country artist of all time. George's songs have the ability to integrate into a person's soul and open his heart to all that the song conveys.
George Jones, is the voice of country music. More releases by far over any singer in the history of music for more than a half century. Very deserving of the number one spot.
First off, tim mcgraw and carrie underwood shouldn't even be on this list. Second, george is the best singer of all time... Period.More comments about George Jones
3George Strait
He is the king there will only be one george strait and no one can top his voice git-r-done george
With more number one hits than any other artist of any genre, there is no doubt that the king if country music, George Strait, is one of the greatest of all time.
Has the most #1 songs of any artist... Ever. Not just country. Speaks for itself.More comments about George Strait
4Waylon Jennings
Waylon, the official ground break in country music. He has his own style unlike any other. More recordings and releases than anyone but George Jones, which could be the only possible singer in front of Waylon. Sure Johnny Cash was awesome, but if he hadn't recorded his last album on his death bed he would not have been as popular with the young listeners and probably deserve the 5th spot. You can't take anything away from Hank Sr. except for having passed at the tender age of 27. It is mostly young people doing these voting's and how could they understand that Taylor Swift after a few years couldn't possibly make an all time list?
Absolutely the best country voice of all time. The fact that Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood are on this list disgusts me. So many much better actual country artist out there. But anyway, Waylon is in my opinion the undisputed king of country music.
One of a kind singer who's career spans from the 58 to 01. Stood the test of time with ballads to hard core country, from a gentleman to an outlaw. Some of the best beats to even a simple strumming. Much more versatile from his voice to his instruments than Johnny Cash ever possibly could have been. George Jones probably deserves the number one spot, but Waylon has always been my favorite.More comments about Waylon Jennings
5Hank Williams
Short career probably hurt hanks rating. Nobody can put the heart and soul into a song like Hank
Simply the best from "Nobody's lonesome for me" to "Your cheating heart".
Hank to me was the founder of country music and the roots of all honky-tonk.More comments about Hank Williams
6Merle Haggard
Sorry but Taylor Swift is to Haggard what Bieber is to Sinatra, the best singer and songwriter in country (if not all American music) by a long long way. I don't even particularly like country as a genre but Merle is the complete package.
He can sing anything and he is so enthralling to listen too what a great song writer and musician he is too
Most Talented in all fields. Compositions, vocals, and a more than adequate musician (guitar and violin)More comments about Merle Haggard
7Garth Brooks
This man has such a big impact on my life, he seems to write songs that everyone could relate to and many sings could ever do that. His songs get to me even the odd time a shead a tear listening to some of his songs they just mean so much to me. Hands down the best country singer that has ever walked the face of this earth. Its great to see to that he is coming back to Ireland!
Without doubt the reason I love country music, my personal no1.
Seen him in Vegas last year and he was inspirational, I hope he tours again I would love to see him in all his glory.
Seen him in Vegas last year and he was inspirational, I hope he tours again I would love to see him in all his glory.
Bar none the greatest entertainer in Country Music to have ever lived. Hope he makes a come back, kind of hard to do considering the popular trend in country is to be a mainstream sell out cough cough Tim McGraw.More comments about Garth Brooks
8Conway Twitty
Conway should be way up further in the votes: only George Strait has beat him in number one hits of all time if George Strait had to compete against the same musicians that Conway did for his number ones George Strait would not have nearly as many number one hits as he has
If you don't vote for Conway, you don't know country music and shouldn't be voting in the first place.
Conway twitty was the best country singer of all times... He was the most handsome man that ever lived and also when alive was the sexiest man alive... No one else could even touch him... He was just simply the best...More comments about Conway Twitty
9Willie Nelson
Gotta admire a guy who has been one of the top country artists for over forty years in a musical career that began over a half century ago, and to top it off, like myself, he is a connoisseur of the finest herb.
He's one of the best songwriters ever and he's held his own for over 70 years
His style is exceptional good.More comments about Willie Nelson
10Alan Jackson
Alan Jackson Deserves to be #3 on this list. He is the best country singer to come out in the past 30 years bar none. And I might add, the only one not playing gunsel country.
Was about the last real country singer other than George strait
Something Special With His SongsMore comments about Alan Jackson

The Contenders
11Ray Price
This man is not #25, he should be in the top 3. Invented modern country music in 1956, and had the biggest voice of any singer in the genre. Has been around since the time of Hank and still going. This position in the list reflects a great ignorance.
Ray price had respect for country music and most of all his fans. Not like some of the so called new country singers. Isure hope we keep real county alive it was in my life growing up and still is every day.
He is the best singer and very easy to dance to his music also best band
12Carrie Underwood
Carrie is one big vocal powerhouse! She reminds me a little of Tammy Wynette in the way she can belt out a song with such freedom and abandon. A gorgeous young woman who's meteoric rise is we'll justified.
She brings so much power to her songs. She has done nothing wrong in her life and she is truly amazing. As one of my friends like to say she has the song of an ANGEL!
She is real and not a fake personMore comments about Carrie Underwood
13Tim McGraw
Sweet voice hell I would pay to hear him sing me the most anoying song ever and love it. Tim rocks
14Blake Shelton
Only country singer to go on the voice I like. Should be in the top 10.
I just think we r so like for having him with us in our planet
He is an awesome singerMore comments about Blake Shelton
15Hank Williams Jr.
Beside waylon, hank is the best
The true king of country
16Marty Robbins
Historical Western Country music Known for his signature song "El Paso"
The best female country artist of all time is Connie Smith, bar none! The best male country artist is Jim Reeves followed by Marty Robbins!
Angelic voice. Probably my favorite behind Bruce Dickinson.
17Steve Earle
The best male alternative country rock artist of all time.
Steve Earle should easily be in the top 10
18Keith Whitley
If it wasn't for a short career he would definitely be top 5.
Beautiful Voice... no other can touch is voice
Why is Jason Aldean ahead of him?
19Elvis Presley
The best singer ever
20The Statler Brothers
Incredible songs, strange how they're not in this list - surely top 10 material if you ask me.
21Emmylou Harris
Perhaps the most multi-talented country singer ever, Emmylou can sing many different styles including country rock, contemporary country, and traditional country, just to name a few. My God, she sings with as much heart as anyone I've ever heard.
Thank you for the gift
22Jamey Johnson
Jamey is a throw back a total bad ass who followed in the great Waylon Jennings footsteps this guy is the real deal
No way should this guy be on this list. Are you kidding me?!
I like in color
23Don Williams
No singer puts more emotion into each word than he does. His songs are timeless.
Number 1 leading King of Country Music!
24John Denver
He should be rated much higher
This guy is THE BEST COUNTRY SINGER EEVERR! But after cash. But I don't think that cash needs any votes.
He should be on the first!More comments about John Denver
25Randy Owen
Definitely one of the greatest live country singers vocally
The fact that this guy is not even on the list yet is a disgrace
26Gene Autry
The Greatest Country singer of all time. Just see Gene Autry Movies of 1935 through 1941. No one sings as soothing, sweet and sincere. He was also a very good yodeler.
27Randy Travis
A younger George Jones with a deep, rich baritone, Randy Travis breathed new life into country music, staying true to his roots and the genre while developing his own unique style. While a foray into Gospel and a series of personal problems derailed his career, he is the godfather of the neo-traditionalist country movement.
How can you forget randy travis?
28Dwight Yoakam
He brought back the simple structured country music songs, how they were originally started out to be. When country went through the period of not being cool, Dwight brought it back with his whole new honky tonk sound under the influence of Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzel and Buck Owens
Best simple stage moves simple songs and did not lose a wife dog or car
Vastly under rated, no one feels the pain of life better than Dwight.
29Miranda Lambert
No way #1 should be right
30Kip Moore
Without him, I wouldn't know " something bout a truck
What the hell, why?!
31Brad Paisley
Definitely the best of modern times
He has made some amazing music
Brad pasisley is a great singer I really really think he shod be in front of taylor swift toMore comments about Brad Paisley
32John Prine
33Ronnie Dunn
34The Avett Brothers
Wihout a doubt, my favorite country band.
35Charley Pride
Charley pride is the best country singer every in this world the fact he is black people want white ones. This is not right.
Charley pride has made so many more songs which was on the charts.
Charley pride has made so many more songs which was on the charts.
Charley Pride by far is one of the purest form of country talent ever! This Man should be in the top #1
He is a the best for a long time
36Keith Urban
His style is unique... with all the trills and runs.. come on! He should be way up...
I just like his style
37Reba McEntire
38Lucinda Williams
The best female alternative country singer ever.
39Rascal Flatts
40Bill Monroe
41Shania Twain
One of the most skilled female Country singers in the History of Country music. Her songs hit charts that other Country singers wish they did.
42Martina McBride
Are you kidding me? McBride is more talented than any of the people. Her vocal ability is unlike anyone in this genre. She has more soul, meaning, conviction, power, emotion, control and technique than anyone on this list.
She is the best nothing else to say
43Glen Campbell
Just a very talented singer and guitar player. Love him!
Versatile, talented, great voice, awesome guitar playing. The full deal. Deserves a far better rating than unproven new-comers.
Just great at singing and guitar playing, a true enterteiner.
44Kasey Chambers
I don't care if she's from Australia, she's still one of the best country singers I've ever heard.
45Darius Rucker
One of the few country singers that I actually like!
And it's not ALRIGHT by me
46Toby Keith
BEAST favorite SONG IS WEED WITH WILLIE!
47Stevie Nicks
48Josh Turner
If you pay attention to the voice of the singer and not how many awards and number ones they got, it easy to say that josh turner has THE best voice ever
He has such an amazing, deep unique voice and he is a true country singer.
49Lefty Frizzell
The performers of any genre who set permanent standards that are widely imitated should be listed among the best.
All these 'modern' and 'pop' singers and no Lefty on the list - ridiculous.
50Travis Tritt
51Mike Ward
Love this man's voice! Haunting, heartfelt, full of soul
Raw and pure soulful
52Patsy Cline
The list starts with second place. First is taken.
53Dierks Bentley
Tip it on back
54The Band Perry
Chainsaw is the best song by The Band Perry
If I Die Young
55Kenny Chesney
Incredible! His voice, songs and lyrics are amazing!
56Guy Clark
Old No. 1 is number nine on my list, and that's not bad at all.
57Ronnie Milsap
Ronnie Milsap should be in the Top Ten, due to the fact that he's the THIRD artist with the most country hits, and mainly because he's gotta great voice.
Ronnie Milsap 4 President!
He's simply the best!More comments about Ronnie Milsap
58Barbara Mandrell
59Faith Hill
60John Anderson
61Bob Dylan
He is international personality
62Danielle Bradbery
Her voice is crystal clear and pitch perfect.
63Hayes Carll
64Jeremy Castle
65Merle Travis
Who could Merl's writing talent. The songs he wrote have become "classics". Nine Pound Hammer, Dark as a Dungeon, and the guitar players he inspired are many. Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, just to name a few.
66Easton Corbin
Not top ten worthy just yet, but in twenty years, no doubt he is a legend. Reminds me of George strait.
67Clay Walker
68Billy Currington
69Jerry Reed
Both my dad and I just love his songs
70The Judds
71Vince Gill
Going strong after 40 years singing, playing & writing. Still has the best voice of all of them!
72Roger Miller
"Dang Me" and "King of the Road"... enough said
73Big Smith
74Dolly Parton
Clearly none of you have seen her live. I hate country but this woman can sing.
75Vern Gosdin
76Jim Reeves
Why has no one added Jim Reeves? "He'll Have to Go". "Welcome to My World". One of the best voices of all time!
77Sara Evans
78Kelly Clarkson
79Luke Bryan
Help develop country and was good friends with Jones at his times
He is an amazing, funny, and a talented singer
Luke is one of most favorite country singer of all timeMore comments about Luke Bryan
80Taylor Swift
ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE! Taylor Swift has won more awards in one night then Elvis Presley has won in his whole life! She is sweet, funny, and amazingly talented... When I was scrolling down looking for her I saw Tim Mcgraw's name in 7th place... I immediately started singing... When you think Tim Mcgraw I hope you think my favorite song... Etc a Taylor swift song that she wrote on the piano in 15 minuets! I mean seriously 13th place! She deserves MUCH HIGHER THAN 13TH PLACE!
Love you taylor swift
I love her so much! How can she be #12?! Anyways she is a legend!More comments about Taylor Swift
81Kenny Rogers
He's the only man who puts his mind and soul in the country music industry so does he deserve to on top period!
He 's the greatest!
Should be top 10
82Kris Kristofferson
Unarguably one of the greatest country music writers on the planet, and even though he's never been known for his singing voice, Kris's special talent to make the listener feel that he is singing directly to him or her, more than compensates for the lack of a great voice.
83Lady Antebellum
84Hunter Hayes
85Kellie Pickler
86Jason Aldean
Jason Aldean should be #1he is the best singer ever where yo peoples brains at
Fly Over States that's all I have to say

He is the best though young, I love you this big, and see you tonight are enogh for one to become a fan

Hilton College Dean John Bowen says the 12 million dollar upgrade will include cosmetic changes to create a showcase for Hilton Hotels, and internal changes to update the hotel-restaurant management curriculum.
"We'll provide the students with the latest technology in revenue management and meeting management systems, as well as reservations systems, so they'll be better able to understand how to manage our capacity. So it'll be both in the actual design as well as some of the new technology that will be brought in."
Bowen says this upgrade is happening because hospitality is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, with a universe of opportunities for Hilton College graduates.
"Not only is it growing domestically, there's a huge explosion as you know internationally. In fact, our graduates, 96 percent of them, were employed upon graduation this spring, which is essentially full employment."
Money for the upgrade includes $6.5 million dollars from the Conrad Hilton Fund, an affiliate of the Conrad Hilton Foundation, $2.9 million from the University, and $2.6 million from the hotel's capital reserves. The work begins this fall and should be done by December of next year.

A 2002 film featuring Dennis Quaid as real-life former pitcher Jim Morris who began his pitching career at the late age of 35 for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Morris, a high-school chemistry teacher and baseball coach when the movie opens, is a former Major League baseball prospect whose injuries sidelined him. In an effort to inspire his team to victory, Morris makes a bet stating he will try again to make it into the Majors if his team wins Regionals. So when they do just that, Morris has no choice but to keep his end of the bargain and pursue his dream. Along the way, Morris must come to terms with his past life and an non-supportive father who never appreciated his ambitions.

Lukashenka about Charter, Kerimov and divorce
17:45, — Politics
The Belarusian dictator was interviewed by Kseniya Sobchak.
Russian TV host Kseniya Sobchak's interview with Aliaksandr Lukashenka was aired on the TV channel Dozhd yesterday.
About divorse and Darya Shmanai
Lukashenka spoke about student of Belarusian State Economic University Darya Shmanai.
"She has been working with me for two years. At different events, I never
sit among officials with a long face. My son sits on the right and a girl sits on the left. I know TV host Palina Shuba for many years. She gave me flowers when she was a kid. There are very beautiful girls working at our protocol service. They ask if they can sit next to me. If I had a girl like Darya Shmanai, it would be more than I could wish!
My wife lives in Shklou, her old address. I am not divorced. We haven't been living together for a long time. She is a decent person.
Do you know why Putin divorced? Maybe another person wanted so. I don't know, a girl, a woman. You can press on a president, too," he said.
About Charter and Kerimov
"Being in opposition is paid well. I don't say there are no honest people among them. There are different people in opposition, perhaps some lost ones. But I am speaking about the top opposition members. There are different Tell the Truth, Viasna, Charter. The secret services told me the opposition had received something for the ice hockey championship, but I answer it's good that they don't bring money out of the country. They bought a house, fuel the car. It's good that they receive money from outside and we don't have to pay them, as Russia does [with the Russian opposition].
One who has billions will never become an opposition politician [about Prokhorov].
We would have arrested Kerimov as well and wouldn't have given him to Russia. Who is Voloshin? He is smaller than Baumgertner. No one would have touched him," Lukashenka said.
About Saakashvili's help
Lukashenka said: "No one has struggled for us in the West like Saakashvili. He was on good terms with America. He told the vice president and the president that they had chosen wrong behaviour towards Belarus, there must be no sanctions, that it's a normal country, a normal president."
According to him, the Georgian president often invited him to visit the country, BelaPAN writes. "But I said: Misha, I cannot come to you in Georgia. Do you need additional problems? Russia's leadership won't take it normally. Let's wait for a while," Lukashenka noted.

ABSTRACT The stigma associated with obesity is likely to limit the opportunities obese women have to develop social skills This hypothesis was tested by having obese (n= 15) and nonobese (n= 22) women converse on the telephone with college students who were unaware of the women's weights Ratings made by judges who listened to the women's contributions to the conversations but who were unaware of their weights showed that obesity was negatively related to judgments about the women's likability, social skills, and physical attractiveness The telephone partners of obese women rated the women and themselves more negatively than did the partners of nonobese women Obese and nonobese women generally did not differ in their evaluations of their own and their telephone partners' behavior, and they also did not differ on a measure of social self-esteem These findings suggest that there are real differences in the social behavior of obese and nonobese women and that these differences affect the impressions formed by those with whom they interact

Contractual Design as a Determinant of Performance: Evidence from Franchising
AbstractThis empirical note deals with the contractual design of relationships between producers and retailers. It provides evidence on the links between the features of vertical contracts organizing franchising networks and the performances of these networks. An agency perspective is used to understand the structure of contracts. We focus on the relevance of vertical restraints by the upstream firm to prevent retailers from free-riding in the distribution networks. From six frequent contractual provisions we distinguish two types of contracts according to the degree of constraint imposed on the franchisees. Econometric estimations carried out on this basis offer evidence consistent with the hypothesis that within franchising systems, more constrained contracts for retailers encourage better performance at the network level.

So i guess my 98 will get me an email in 4 years...puts head down and walks out :(
according to the nfl theres no real way to check for that...goooo ravens :cool:
I had a chance to see the email from a friend and it states that the "Physical Preparation Program" will start on the week of the Feb 25th. So I would assume you guys and gals should start getting your packets in the mail before than right? I think I'm still in state of disbelief the ball is actually starting to roll for the OC, but once you guys get those packets than, I'll be a little more convinced the process is actually starting to move forward. I still got a while to go it would seem before I even get an email, but still and all, I'm really happy and stoked for you guys at the top who will finally begin the long march towards becoming a part of the FDNY. Good luck to you all!
Just posting to say that I also received the email and I am pumped that there is actually progress. Time to kick it into high gear.
I still want to organize a group so we can do some group PT but any time I post this people don't respond.
I decided to edit this post.
Everyone getting canvased, especially the very top of the list, should realize that this is them preparing to potentially tap the OC for the next class. Get to work.
Oh and bro, who cares if they drug test randomly or not. If you're clean you're good no matter what, and if you're a druggie, then you're screwed.
So I would suggest people who want to evade drug tests try to find a new career field lol.
Slightly above 890 with no email yet
department orders states next class in july and might NOT include any people from the OC list
Stoked that you guys got emails for the CPAT prep. If it goes anything like it did for EMS promo guys than basically you all go the date you're assigned and they show you a video on the CPAT, walk you around the course as a group and give you a packet on fitness. Lastly, you all pick a day of the week Monday - Thursday and Saturday that you will attend your CPAT prep course for the next 12 weeks.
We got this email first and then packets went out soon later. I remember being at the CPAT prep and guys talking about what dates they had meetings with investigators so figure between now and then you'll get packets. Hopefully. The sooner you guys get all processed the sooner we can anticipate a class.
I know I shouldn't be but im kinda bummed reading that order. It states class in LATE July. I was hoping the rumor for June 10th was true. Only time will tell. Like I said before NO ONE KNOWS *****. At our CPAT prep the instructors stated the first day they anticipate a class to start on Jan 14th and stressed that date from then on so hopefully when you guys go for orientation they will have a date to throw at you.
Have fun with CPAT prep guys and good luck at the investigations. Let me know if you boys have questions. For now i'm back to sitting in limbo waiting for Class 2 of 2013 to start.
Hey "almostthere", do you understand the problem? Do you understand why people don't like the position you're in? These guys are playing by the rules. They worked hard to achieve a high score and a place where they are assured a position with the FDNY, regardless of race, creed or gender. However, they have to take a backseat, they have to wait for people like you to be hired first. People who FAILED to achieved a high enough score to be hired over a decade ago. They have to wait for LESS qualified people who don't deserve to be here.
I don't know you read the news papers or what, but a candidate from List 6019 was featured. He was a Columbia Univeristy student, the cream of the crop. He was pre-med, bilingual and was putting all of those credentials aside because all he wanted to do was be a NYC Firefighter. Guess what.....he didn't get hired. Someone who not only met the criteria but FAR EXCEEDED it was unable to be hired because the of law suit to which you are a direct beneficiary. You should hang your head in shame knowing that you couldn't do this on your own. You and everyone who comprises the 293 "priority hires" needed special favors to get where I and 12,000 firemen and fire officers currently are. I worked my *** off to be here, then I waited my turn in line. All of us on this job today earned our positions. You've earned nothing but disdain and distrust.
Welcome to the welfare society.....no personal responsibility, someone else will take care of it for you...
With any luck, the Second Circuit Court will see to it that you are "almost" no where.

Noble Character?
Ponder why Allah (the Exalted) praised the character of the Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessing upon him). Why not the prayer or hajj? Because deen is not about merely the five pillars. Most of your deen is your character. Thats where most of the work needs to be done.
Following the deen is not about forcing your opinion over others by being arrogant and condescending as these are NOT part of the Sunnah. Yet somehow you think reseaching on the internet makes you a master! Yet you are slave of misunderstanding and flawed misinterpretation.
When I meet brothers who quote hadith without understanding I realise one thing. They do not understand the religion at all. Look your character and please click here to read forty hadith about Honorable character complied Sheikh Yusuf Al-Nabahani (may Allah show him mercy).
Deen is not just belief it mostly about action and character is a major part. You can't reach everyone with your deen but you can reach everyone with your character.

What is Sunnah?
This is a complicated question that could take someone years and volumes to explain and even then perhaps the explanation is not sufficient. Or perhaps the person listening cannot fully grasp the understanding of what it is.
Our previous attempt to answer this question seems pitiful now. We would like another attempt to answer this question and explain the impossible.
Literally the word (sunnah) means practice and that's what we want to focus on here. The practice of the Beloved (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him).
As we said before we hear the Imam screaming about following the Sunnah. Yet he nor most of the crowd know how or what it is. We understand the hadith about the flesh being removed from the face because of not following the Sunnah. This understanding needs to fleshed out and understood properly.
The greatest Sunnah of the Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) was performance of the commands of Allah (The Exalted) and avoiding all prohibitions. We should never do what he never did. The greatest aspects of the Sunnah are ignored in this time. Instead we think that Sunnah is merely putting the right shoe on first. No the Sunnah is much more than actions of the limbs. This is just the tip of the iceberg as the Sunnah is all encompassing and it has more than one facet. It is multifaceted and more complex than the understanding of the Imam.
So if we are not performing the commandments of Allah and are performing unlawful actions; now we are opposing the Sunnah. This is what will make the skin fall from the face. This is what we should be concerned about but most are unaware of this aspect of the Sunnah. This is a basic level and anyone who opposes the Sunnah opposes authenticated actions. So where is the proof of this? Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was the blessed wife of the Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) and she said, "His character was the Quran." (Muslim). Our partners know us well and know all our secrets that we hide from everyone. So what does the Quran teach us? Stop lying, cheating, stealing, spying, be just, tell the truth, pray five times a day, believe (be Muslim), believe in prophets, respect authority, maintain family relationships, give non-Muslims their rights, avoid backbiting, tale bearing and slandering; and so on and so forth. These are the major points that everyone misses when they explain the Sunnah.
In Fiqh
There different types of Sunnah in fiqh. You can have Sunnah Muzabaha/Frequent Sunnah which is something rarely left and Sunnah ghaar Muzabaha/infrequent Sunnah something done infrequently. Sunnah Mukada and Sunnah Mustahab: these are similar to the above definitions (See Commentary of the Initiation).
In Fiqh Sunnah is that which the evidence is not as strong as wajib or Fard. Now if Sunnah reached a level of transmission of mass transmission then it would be wajib/necessary. So anyone who is doing the wajib and fard action of something has not broken their action but has failed to adorn their action with the Sunnah. Performing ablution in the wrong order is valid with the Hanafi's because the order is Sunnah. Had it been fard then its non performance would break the action. It does with the Shafis but the point here is that without the Sunnah there would no adornment of the action. How few people would actually understand what one would be doing in they did ablution without the Sunnah.
Emotional arguments
Please detach your emotions now because getting in a huff by shouting 'We should follow the Sunnah' is not as simple as the person making the statement. As its often made by those who are outside the four Sunni schools of Islam. Islam has reached us by the four schools of law otherwise it would not have reached us. When sacred law was upheld it was by these schools. So anyone coming in now screaming that we should follow Sunnah has ignored the fact that we have been following the Sunnah from the first century of Islam; long before they came.
The Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) made things easy for people and would not burden them with actions that they could not perform. So we can differentiate between two types of Sunnah: one the Sunnah adheres one to the commands and avoidance of prohibitions and the Sunnah that is extra beautification of actions. The latter is more important but people place more importance to the former. The second Sunnah, if performed is rewarded and not punished if not rewarded. Like standing under a tree and half of you is in the shade. Not following this Sunnah is not going to send you to hell but if its better if you do it. Do not misunderstand me if you are doing any Sunnah then keep doing it.
When we talk about scholars of the past following the Sunnah they already had adhered to the Halal and haram. Then they beautified this by following the additional Sunnah as explained in the second definition.
So do not get emotional and start sending me insulting emails. Why? Because the companions followed the Sunnah better than us and they did not get emotional statements like you have to follow the Sunnah. They knew the Sunnah and adhered to it. We just make statements. Many companions followed just what they knew and that was sometimes one statement.
Know that in terms of the hadith of the Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) only the mass transmitted hadith/Mutawatir give certainty. So other categories of hadith do not give us certainty but that does not mean we do not follow them. It means that we cannot condemn its non performance but we advise instead when the matter is obvious.
In terms of Hanafi Mutsalah Hadith the singular statements of gharib and Aziz are not considered, especially when they oppose stronger evidence. Like the hadith that states Surah Fatiha should be read in every prayer when there is Quran ayah to say read what is easy from the Quran. So we go with the Quran ayah not the hadith. Weaker hadith are allowed to be followed by the agreement of the scholars in extra forms of worship. There are also times when weaker hadith have been accepted and stronger/sahih hadith have been left. Because the weaker hadith agrees with other evidences that other does not. The stronger hadith opposes other evidences. As we have said before hadith and reports of varying degree of certainty and Sunnah is the relied upon practice of the Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him). Hadith science is not about following the sahih hadith; it's about following the more reliable evidence. It's not a straight forward science because the majority of hadith have to be known, about one field, before a judgement can be given. The chains of other than Mutawatir are scrutinised.
The Sunnah is the confirmed practice of the Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him); look for specific compilations of hadith like Riyad Al-Saliheen by Imam Nawawi and his forty hadith collection, Imam Birgwis Path of Muhammad (may Allah bestow peace and blessings be upon him) which is an excellent book. Know that there are many other beneficial works. Picking up the collections of Al-Bukhari and Muslim will confuse you because you do not have the tools to check what scholars have said about so and so hadith. So taking it out of context, without understanding is a dangerous game. There are hadith that are simple to understand but when you are unaware of the reliability of the narrators; how can you be sure of the meaning? When you have deleted the commentary of the scholars! The companions understood hadith and followed them as much as they could and when they needed assistance they would ask the scholars of the companions like Ali, Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn 'Abbas, Ibn Umar etc. Umar would gather those who attended Badr; they did not read hadith and say it means this and no other possible meaning. Mu'awiyah used to send Ali questions (may Allah be pleased with all the companions). So the companions did not rely on themselves like the Wahabis and Selefis.
The Hanafis come from the teaching of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The Malikis come from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Imam Shafi studied with Imam Malik and Imam Muhammad Al-Shaybani (Abu Hanafi's student) then Imam Ahmed studied with him. Its interlinked even though they disagreed on some points. Knowledge is passed on by the hearts of men and not from books. As there were no collections of Al-Bukhari that the companions referred to!
Internal states
The Sunnah is not just external actions it was coupled with internal realities. This is not simple to understand. His (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) external and internal state were the same. He did not act one way outside his home and another way in the home. He never committed sin ever. This was his internal state that was a secret between him and Allah. He (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) was the greatest being to walk the earth.
Correct understanding
Know to actually understand the Sunnah needs major study. And it's not something that can be understood without study as I am sure that you can now relate. So we hope that this has helped clear things up. The confirmed Sunnah has its place and the rare Sunnah are different.
So when you hear the hadith 'Whoever desires other than my practice is not from me.' You realise that following and adhering to hadiths is by seeing what the scholars practice. So find a reliable scholar of the four schools and see the Sunnah in action, hopefully. Only then will you understand what Sunnah is. Picking up books is not going to help.

Comment: Practical alternatives (Score 2) 533
I've moved most of my systems to FreeBSD. And no-so-coincidental to this post, today I set up my first Debian GNU/kFreeBSD jail system. Works perfectly. Install debootstrap from ports, create ZFS volume, debootstrap onto the volume, configure and start jail. Done. (Works fine on the bare metal, too.)
(Sad to say this since I've been a Debian developer for over a decade, but I doubt I'll be using jessie in any serious capacity except perhaps for kFreeBSD if they don't manage to screw it over as well. I despair at what's happened to the major Linux distributions over the last few years. No longer feels like home, and the years of pushy passive-aggressive behaviour and acrimony which led to it being adopted completely killed my last bit of enthusiasm. I spend all my free time working on Debian.... for this? Giving the BSDs a try for the first time in a long long time, was like a breath of fresh air.)

REGINA – Saskatchewan's children's advocate says high caseloads for protection workers and poor communication between Health and Social Services staff contributed to two child deaths.
Bob Pringle says he hears on a daily basis that workers sometimes don't get around to things because they don't have time.
"This is coming from the workers that assessments are not done because there wasn't time, that we weren't able to communicate because we just didn't have time to do it or co-ordinate services to families," Pringle said Tuesday after releasing his annual report.
The children's advocate says some workers have more than 40 cases.
This has been a persistent problem in Saskatchewan.
Pringle's report notes that the issue of high caseloads was first identified in a 1998 child death review and again in a 2010 submission to the Saskatchewan Child Welfare Review, which recommended the province establish caseload standards.
He says the province has deferred its response to the recommendation until it completes a review of the Child and Family Services Act.
"I've had three conversations with the deputy minister of Social Services, who I know is interested in the issue, but we can't wait," said Pringle.
"We continue to see gaps in services and actually non-compliance with policy and on almost 100 per cent of occasions staff attribute it to workloads."
Pringle's report details the deaths of two girls, seven and 16 months old, who were born to mothers struggling with addictions, family violence and mental illness.
In the case of the seven month old, identified as Carly, which is not her real name, the worker told the children's advocate that she wanted to spend more time with the girl's mother, but this was difficult because of her high caseload. The report says contact with the family did not meet provincial standards.
An autopsy determined Carly had recent and repeated impacts to her head and multiple rib fractures that were healing.
Social Services Minister June Draude says caseloads are going down, but it can be tough to set a standard because cases can be complex.
"We know that children have different needs and when you take into consideration the geography in our province, it's really difficult to say there should be just this many caseloads per worker," said Draude.
"So we have decreased the number of caseloads. They went down about 23 per cent in the last number of years, so going in the right direction, but we know that there's always more work that we can be doing."
Draude says 80 per cent of child protection workers have between 15 and 20 cases.
The children's advocate report also says that the health system doesn't have effective ways to help young people who are suicidal. The advocate says there aren't enough child psychologists in the province, assessments aren't being done fast enough and neither is follow up care.
Pringle notes that almost a third of 34 critical injuries to children last year were suicide attempts, but that mental-health services are only provided to 10 per cent of kids in foster care.
"The promise is in what's coming, but in terms of right today, in terms of mental health and addiction services for youth, we believe that very little has been done," said Pringle.
"I would say it's priority A plus because when children or young people are taking their own lives, from my point of view that's a preventable death," he added.

The Monetary Pillar and the Great Financial Crisis
AbstractSince its inception, a most distinctive (and controversial) feature of the ECB monetary policy strategy has been its emphasis on money and monetary analysis, which constitute the basis of the so-called monetary pillar. The present paper examines the performance of the monetary pillar around the recent financial crisis episode, and discusses its prospects in light of the renewed emphasis on financial stability and the need for enhanced macro-prudential policies.

Texas Snakes came and brought . . . Snakes! Lots of snakes. Everyone was able to pet or hold different snakes. Our last summer program was a big hit.
To see more summer program pictures, visit our Flickr page here.
Sheldon State Park came and talked about animals that live in Texas. She brought skins and skulls for the children to look at, identify, and touch. Very exciting for everyone.
To see more pictures from the summer programs, visit our Flickr page here.
The week after the Parks people visited the library with their sharks and rays, a bull shark was caught in the Trinity River near Liberty. Here is the bull shark they brought to the library.
The Summer Reading Program is in its last week and we are still having fun with skits, crafts and performers. It is not too late to read ten books and earn a free book of your choice! But hurry! The last day of Summer Reading is August 8th!
All generations love coming to the library! Grandfather and grandson have fun creating beautiful scratch art at the Summer Reading Club activity day on Tuesday, July 28th.
It is not too late to complete reading your ten books to earn a free book of your choice. But don't wait too long! The Summer Reading Program ends on August 8th. Just one week left!

Interested in Key West?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Key West each week.
Topics include Transportation, United States: For Foreign Visitors & more!
Kids will enjoy climbing to the top of the historic Key West Lighthouse, 88 steps high above the ground overlooking the ocean. Children under seven are admitted free, and children seven to twelve pay only $2 for admission. The Lighthouse is open daily from 9:30 to 5:30, and it is located at 938 Whitehead Street.
Another local attraction that appeals to kids is Ripley's Believe It or Not!. Among the oddities on display here are a white buffalo and a car made entirely of dimes. Children under four are admitted free, and admission for children four to twelve is $11.95. The museum is open daily and is located at 108 Duval Street.
A trip to the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory makes for a great family outing. A variety of beautifly colorful species are on display here. The conservatory is open from 9:00 to 5:00 daily, and is located at 1316 Duval Street. Adult admission is $10, $7.50 for kids under twelve and kids under four are free.
Another great place for kids, especially those interested in the ocean or the environment, is the Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center which is located near the gate to Fort Zachery Taylor Park at 35 East Quay Road. The Center uses interactive exhibits to showcase the unique environment of the keys, both above and below the water. There is also an outstanding short film. The Center is open Tuesdays through Saturdays and is absolutely FREE to all. There is also ample free parking.
Nearly everything you see at the Eco-Discovery Center, you will see in the wild on a kayak eco-tour. Blue Planet Kayak offers a 2.5-hour kayak tour through the mangroves and backcountry flats where your guide will catch the sea critters and allow you and your kids to touch them and even give you tips on spotting the hidden creatures yourself. The tandem kayaks are wide enough to put a youngster between you and your partner. Kids 10 and over can paddle their own single kayak.
Close to the Eco-Discovery Center on the waterfront of the Truman Annex is the USS Mohawk CGC Marine Museum. This floating museum is the last of its kind: a Coast Guard subchaser which saw action fourteen times during the Battle of the North Atlantic. The museum is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. Admission is $5.00 for adults and $2.50 for kids 10 to 18. Under 10 is free.
