Easy mission completion
Note: This trick only works with missions that ask you to find a car and travel to a location in a limited amount of time. When you cannot complete a level because time runs out before you can reach a location, just find out where the location is and fail the mission. Then, try the same mission again, but run to the location instead of driving there. The timer will not start counting down until you enter a vehicle.

I-90 tolls may not be coming soonon November 12, 2013 @ 9:13 am (Updated: 10:18 am - 11/12/13 )
Rep. Jessyn Farrell, (D-46th District Lake Forest Park, Kenmore,) is a member of the House Transportation Committee. She said figuring out how to pay for the 520 bridge, the Highway 99 tunnel, and impending cuts to bus service won't be easy.
But what may be welcome news for a lot of cross-lake commuters, is that the pressure to pass some kind of package quickly may mean that tolling I-90 won't happen. "It is quite possible that we may not toll I-90, at least in the near term, to generate the revenue to fill that shortfall," Farrell told KIRO Radio's Dave Ross.
Farrell said that while we really need to take care of 520, especially in the current transportation package, those are still the kinds of things getting worked out.
"Do you think that this legislature, as currently constituted, with its current politics is going to authorize tolling on I-90?" Farrell asked.
Dave Ross said he assumed the state legislature was "free-enterprise" which believes in user fees.
But according to Farrell, "I think that the politics are going to be very hard and there is an opportunity to pass a package right now." She thinks that if the package goes before the voters, the idea of finishing what you started makes a lot of common sense.
But as far as paying for it, some people have come to the conclusion that a tax is better than a toll.
"There is this real pressure from a lot of different avenues, from the transit folks, from the freight mobility folks, from the business community, from labor, to do something right now, you could very well see a gas tax paying for the rest of 520. That is because it always takes a lot of pressure to do something big. There is a lot less pressure in two years from now to make those tough decisions especially if we continue to have divided government the way we do now," she said.
So in other words, "Don't let a crisis go to waste," said Farrell agreeing with Ross. "Get the work done that we need to get done."

Gippsland Gladiators
Maryvale Reserve
Grant Street Morwell
Sponsored by Genesis Fitness Club, Traralgon.
Gippslands' only team in the Gridiron Victoria League.
In early October of 2010, 2 remnants of the old Gippsland Gladiators Flag Football League got together and decided to create a tackle team, to enter into Gridiron Victoria. Word of mouth quickly spread, and the numbers began to grow from all over Gippsland. We now have players from Lakes Entrance, Bairnsdale, Stratford, Maffra, Sale, Traralgon, Morwell, and Leongatha.
We began training 1 day a week in mid October, followed soon by 2 days, and now have 3 practices a week (1 in Traralgon, and 2 in Sale).
Following articles in 3 Gippsland papers, as well as radio and television interviews, we really began to build more momentum and attract new players.
Though our players are lacking in experience, we have a coach from the U.S. who has 18 years playing / coaching experience, and the team is hungry to learn more on a daily basis.
Our numbers are continuing to grow every week, but we are still looking for more players at every position, as well as coaches, first aiders, assistants, and sponsors.

Here's another productivity tip that I wanted to share with you: Searching within text files that are stored in nested subfolders using one of my favorite must-have editors Notepad++
1. Step Head over to http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ to grab a copy of notepad++ and install it
2. Step Hit CTRL + F on your keyboard to open the search
3. Step No go to the tab "Find In Files" and enter something you want to search for into the field "Find what"
4. Step Select a directory by clicking the button with the three dots …
5. Step MAKE SURE to select the checkbox In all sub-folders
6. Step Because searches may take a while, Windows may ask you to close the program because it does not respond, but don't do that, instead have some patience
7. Step Notepad++ will search within all text files that are stored in the directory –
It is not recommend to use a root directory like D:\ because it will search the entire hard drive and will most likely crash the app

I didn't hear any victim mentality at all. The situation you describe is difficult for many, if not most, people.
It might be a little late for this trip to take up a craft, but one thing that has helped me in similar situations is to have my knitting with me. When people are hanging out and visiting and the chips are calling my name, it is easier to have something that's keeping my hands occupied. If you don't knit, maybe you could sketch or doodle or play cat's cradle with the little ones (should there be little ones). Or heck, learn to knit!
If nothing else, you can view this as a learning experience. Keep track of what worked and what didn't. Take notes on what might help next time. Does moderation work for you, or do you need to take a more black-and-white approach? If you eat primally for the first four days and then it stops working, what led to that happening--did you just get worn down (research shows that this does happen with will-power) or did you decide to have just one cookie that became several, or something else?
I have found that if I'm going to be around other people's yummy non-primal food, I need to really step up my game as far as the deliciousness of what I bring. I like hard-boiled eggs, for instance, but they don't compete with, say, raspberry cream-cheese bars. Bacon, or even deviled eggs, on the other hand, are better competitors.
As others have mentioned, if you can keep your focus on being good to yourself (as opposed to feeling restricted) that will help you rely less on your will-power. One of my favorite relevant quotes, from Pema Chodron: "...unless we equate refraining with lovingkindness and friendliness toward ourselves, refraining feels like putting on a straitjacket."

Most Thankful for…..
anyone who is still checking to see if there is a new entry! Haha. It truly does mean a lot to me if you are still interested in checking my blog. The frequency of my writing can only get better right? I frequently check the blogs of some of the Mom's in my Mom's group and there are a couple that have not written since October. So, not writing as often as we'd like, must be a Mom-with-baby thing (we all have babies born within a month or 2 of each other). I did use a disclaimer a couple of entries ago that November and December would be very busy months, SO…….a good New Years Resolution will be to write more often. I Got it!
As Thankful as I am for my readers, I have to say I am MOST thankful for my incredibly amazing little boys. God has blessed me beyond belief. Sometimes I feel I am not deserving of all of the goodness he has brought to my life. I strive hard to be a good Christian, but do get side-tracked at times. All I need to do to get back on track is spend just 5 minutes looking at my boys and realizing I have all I'll ever need or want in both of them. I don't think I was even able to write that we were going to Orlando for hanksgiving. My parents live near Orlando, but they actually went to visit my brother in San Fransisco. This trip to FL, Mike's Dad was generous enough to fund. Mike, the boys and I went down last Tuesday and stayed until Saturday. It was SO nice to have 5 uniterrupted days spent with family. Mike's parents, aunt and cousin came down Wednesday night. We spent 4 fabulous days visiting with Mike's aunt (who lives in Orlando) and Mike's Grand-pop who flew in from PA and met little Mikey for the first time. We had such a great time. Aunt Dawn provided delicious food (which I ate way too much of) and made the BEST sangria's I ever had (which I also probably had too many of). The hotel we stayed at was gorgeous. The pool was heated so Braeden and his 9 year old cousin released all their energy at night swimming, while Mike and I relaxed in the hot tub. Mikey sat in his carrier and rocked himself into his own state of relaxation. SIDE NOTE- Let me just reiterate the amazement of Mikey's ROCKING! Anytime he is in his carrier on a hard surface, he starts rocking. He will get himself going quickly and this is sheer entertainment to him. We can't go anywhere without people staring and commenting, "Is he rocking HIMSELF?" "I have NEVER seen a baby do that before!" "I think that is THE funniest thing I have ever seen a baby do!" I even had one old man ask if the carrier was battery operated! Not battery operated, just God giving me an extra hand to my very needy little guy! Although we are so used to him doing it by now and at times it doesn't even faze us, it is still the cutest thing. The funniest thing is watching him try and rock himself when he is in his carrier, but not in a place that he can actually make it move. There are plenty of times when I'll be driving and I can hear him kicking his feet trying to make his carrier go. It will be very sad to see this piece of "equipment" go, particularly because if he is grumpy and not wanting to "go" somewhere, he perks right up after he is all buckled in and able to ROCK! He IS getting so heavy in it though and I've already been looking at the next size car seats. He has his 6 month check-up next week (although he was 6 months on Thanksgiving Day) and I plan to talk to the Dr. about the car seat issue.
Things have been going so well around here. I say that Mikey is needy, but he is really doing so much better in general. He is sleeping much better. He is STILL getting up at night, but is sleeping longer. We usually put him "night night" between 6:30 and 7:30 pm and he sleeps until about 9:30 am (waking up once or twice to eat in between- usually only once and he goes RIGHT back to sleep, if he really even truly "wakes up" when he is eating because he rarely even opens his eyes). He also takes naps in his bed- usually at least 2 1 hr naps a day. The naps could be better, but an hour is better than 20 minute cat naps. I am going to work hard on his schedule over the next month because starting the first week in January, I will be watching a 4 month old baby girl Monday-Friday all day. I think once the babies are a few months older, they will have a great time entertaining one another and playing together. It WILL be interesting, fun and refreshing keeping a "girl." I guess having her 50 hours a week is as close to having a baby girl of my own that I will ever get. I'll keep you posted. I met her and her family last night. She is precious and her parents are two people Mike and I see ourselves becoming great friends with. Plus, I WILL be getting paid- and I will still get to keep Mikey with me. 3 days a week at their house and 2 at ours.
Braeden continues to be so sweet. He is just such an amazing little boy. He is so helpful and sweet to his baby brother. We are so proud of him and Mikey adores him! If Braeden is the room, Mikey does not take his eyes off of him. You can see him anticipating the day when he can do what his big brother is doing. He is NOT far off either. He is now sitting on his own. He still goes TIMBER after a few minutes, but he is clearly progressing. He does try and balance himself with his arms to stay up, which he was not doing a week ago. He grabs anything and everything that is within eye-sight or arms-reach. He is eating baby food great. We started him at 4 months, but he was clearly not ready. The Dr. said it was OK to wait until he was 6 months and that they really don't get any nutrition from it, and that it is just practice until they are off of their formula. We started back up this week and he loves it and eats everything we give him. Now, if only we can get big brother to eat better…..
We are really looking forward to the holidays. My parents and brother are coming here for a few days and then I think Mikey and I will head back to Fl with them for a few days. Braeden is going to Panama City to visit his other grandparents and Mike can't take any time off. His Christmas present from me is a plane ticket to PA in mid January, so he is taking a few days off then. I've gotten everything together in the garage and we plan to get our Christmas tree in a few days. Christmas has always been my favorite holiday and it is SO much fun celebrating with your own children. I cherish the years that Braeden (and soon Mikey) still believe in Santa. Seeing the amazement in their eyes throughout the season is truly a Christmas gift in-itself.
Speaking of Christmas presents, here are two gifts that will never be topped in my eyes. My two precious gifts from God. Enjoy!
First things first…..
Once again, I will make up for my slacking with multiple entries! I have a lot to share, but thought I would start off with the most important news as of lately. Mikey was dedicated this weekend at our church. This was a little different for us. I grew up Catholic and only a few years ago made the decision to switch churchs. I have to say, by FAR this was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Yes, even better than getting married, or having my boys. I know that finding my husband and having my boys were gifts from God, but finding this church and becoming a REAL Christian is my gift TO God and that is far better than anything he can give US. No discredit to my parents at all for raising me in a Catholic home. Catholics are STILL Christians and they were the ones who built the foundation of my faith by taking us to church every Sunday and instilling in us good moral values. I just didn't feel that I was really WORSHIPPING in the Catholic church nor was I really developing a relationship with God. Since the change, I have learned what it really means to be a Christian and have tried harder than ever to be a good one and live my life according to his teachings (don't get me wrong, I still make mistakes and sin- I am not perfect). Anyway, the church we attend does not believe in baptising babies. We believe that a child should be old enough to understand what it means to have a relationship with God and what it means to live your life for the Lord, BEFORE they are baptised. Dedication is just as important though because it is OUR (Mike and I and the family and friends who attended) promise to the Lord that we will raise our child in a Christian home and with our church as our backing, teach them how to be a good follower of Christ. They are safe in us until they are old enough to truly understand and believe. Usually children are baptised when they are in 3rd or 4th grade. We will have Braeden re-baptised in a few years (since he was baptised Catholic). Anyway, it was a very special day filled with happiness and shared with family and friends. Thank you to everyone who attended. It meant so much to Mike and I to have your love and support. Mom and Dad, a special thanks for traveling here for the weekend and for helping out so much! Here are some more pictures of the beautiful day. Mikey looked adorable and we couldn't have asked for nicer weather!
I don't think I've ever included a picture of Mike's parents. The other little boy is our nephew Harley (who Mike's parents raise). Bless his heart, he had baseball all last week in the cold evening air and has terrible chapped lips.
Look at that face! He is saying, "Seriously Mama- NO MORE PICTURES!"
"It was a very long day and I don't know about everyone else, but I am BEAT!" This is Mikey's new bouncer and he LOVES it. He will stay in it for hours if we let him. As you can see, he loves it so much and will even sleep in it to avoid having to get out. The funniest thing is, when he does fall asleep in it and we try and take him out, he wakes up and immediately starts jumping…..like, "I am good, had a cat nap, back to jumping!"
IMPORTANT PRAYER! Please say a very special prayer for Mike's boss and his family. He lost his 2 month old granddaughter this week. Apparently she got a virus that made her throw up and develop a fever. She died of dehydration. As if this is not tragic enough, he also lost his 18 year old daughter just 3 months ago to cancer. I know that God has his reasons for everything, but the pain, suffering and sadness this family must be experiencing is incomprehensible and our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to them during this difficult time and during the healing that will take place in the future.
We had a GREAT Halloween. Anything beats last year when my Dad had to take Braeden out because Mike had to work and I was still too sick with morning sickness. My what a difference a year makes! Mike and I and the boys had a lot of fun. We went trick-or-treating with some friends of ours and their 2 precious little girls (ages 3 and 4). They live in the same neighborhood as us, but in a newer section with bigger houses, so we decided to go there. For a brief moment I was sad that I will not have any little girls to dress like Cinderella or Snow White (their costumes), but as I watched their Mom try and get their hair just right, fluff their dresses for the 10th time, and make sure they didn't get the pizza we ate before-hand on themselves, I remembered why I am SO happy I have boys! The kids got a LOT of candy (yes I did hit the stash at 2 a.m. once this week as I predicted I would). Another bonus to having boys, my 2 wanted to be done early (Mikey succumbing to Daddy's comfy arms and Braeden just feeling he'd had enough). The girls could have went all night (and I used to want to do the same). Suddenly having MORE candy is not as enticing as an adult trying to loose 10 pounds as it was when we were kids. Anyway, here are some more cute pictures. Have a great weekend!
Mikey is VERY close to being able to sit on his own longer than a few seconds.
For Halloween at school, the kids were not allowed to wear costumes (safety reasons), so they had to dress as a cowboy. This was the best I could come up with without having to spend a ton of $ on another costume. Pardon the "curtains" in the back. I am finally getting some real ones this weekend. I had to wait till the couch came to see what would match.

Did The Sahaba(RA) ask from the grave of the Prophet(SAW)
Assalaamu Alaykum everyone. Hope everyone is in the best of health and faith.
I have made this thread to clear some confusion.
A Barelwi brother i know is presenting the following as evidence to prove we can go to the grave of the Prophet(SAW) and ask the Prophet(SAW).
The first video is habib al jiffri speaking :
Sahaba visiting the Grave of the Prophet - [Eng Subs] زيارة القبور في الصحاح - YouTube
The evidence presented is :
Dawud ibn Salih says: "[The Caliph] Marwan [ibn al-Hakam] one day saw a man placing his face on top of the grave of the Prophet. He said: "Do you know what you are doing?" When he came near him, he realized it was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. The latter said: "Yes; I came to the Prophet, not to a stone."
Ibn Hibban in his Sahih, Ahmad (5:422), Tabarani in his Mu`jam al-kabir (4:189) and his Awsat according to Haythami in al-Zawa'id (5:245), al-Hakim in his Mustadrak (4:515); both the latter and al-Dhahabi said it was sahih. It is also cited by al-Subki in Shifa' al-siqam (p. 126), Ibn Taymiyya in al-Muntaqa (2:261f.), and Haythami in al-Zawa'id (4:2).
The 2nd evidence he presents is a narration from ibn Kathir(rh)s book.
Some urdu is spoken in the 2nd video. But the hadith is shown.
IBn taymiya's student: hafiz ibn katheer says- asking from graves is allowed from sahih hadith - YouTube
He also presents the following :
Sayyiduna Maalik al-Daar, the treasurer of food during the time of Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattaab [radhiallaahu anhu], reports that once the people had been experiencing a drought in the era of Sayyiduna Umar [radhiallaahu anhu], a man went to the grave of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and said, 'O Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], ask for rain on behalf of your Ummah, for verily, they are being destroyed.' Thereafter this person was instructed in a dream to go to Sayyiduna Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] and tell him that, 'the rains will soon come and say to him, Be intelligent', When Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] was informed of this, he began to cry and he said, 'O My Lord, I will only leave out what I am unable to do.'
-(Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah vol.12 pg.31-32; Dalaailun-nubuwwah of Imaam Bayhaqi vol.7 pg.47).
-Hafiz ibn Katheer [ra] has stated that the chain of narrators is 'good and strong' (Musnadul Faarooq vol.1 pg.223).
-Ibn Kathir cites it thus from al-Bayhaqi's Dala'il al-Nubuwwa (7:47) in al-Bidaya wal-Nihaya (Ma`arif ed. 7:91-92=Dar Ihya' al-Turath ed. 7:105) saying: "isnaduhu sahih" and he also declares its chain sound (isnaduhu jayyidun qawi) in his Jami` al-Masanid (1:223)
-in Musnad `Umar. Ibn Abi Shayba cites it (6:352=12:31-32) with a sound (sahih) chain as confirmed by Ibn Hajar who says: "rawa Ibn Abi Shayba bi'isnadin sahih" and cites the hadith in Fath al-Bari, Book of Istisqa ch. 3 (1989 ed. 2:629-630=1959 ed. 2:495) as well as in al-Isaba (6:164 §8350=3:484) where he says that Ibn Abi Khaythama cited it. It is also thus narrated by al-Khalili in al-Irshad (1:313- 314) and Ibn `Abd al-Barr in al-Isti`ab (2:464=3:1149).
Ibn Hajar identifies the man who visited and saw the Prophet upon him peace, in his dream as the Companion Bilal ibn al- Harith, counting this hadith among the reasons for al- Bukhari's naming of the chapter "The people's request to their leader for rain if they suffer drought" in his Sahih, book of Istisqa'.
Another hadith: the beduin at the blessed grave of our sayyed(saws):
Al-`Utbi said: "As I was sitting by the grave of the Prophet, a Beduin Arab came and said: "Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah! I have heard Allah saying: "If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful" (Quran 4:64), so I have come to you asking forgiveness for my sin, seeking your intercession with my Lord." [Then he began to recite poetry]
Then he left, and I dozed and saw the Prophet in my sleep. He said to me: "O `Utbi, run after the Beduin and give him glad tidings that Allah has forgiven him.""
The classification of this hadith:
-A report graded mashhur (established and well-known) and related by Nawawi, Adhkar, Mecca ed. p. 253-254, al-Majmu` 8:217, and al-Idah fi manasik al-hajj, chapters on visiting the grave of the Prophet; Ibn Jama`a, Hidayat al-salik 3:1384;

Re: Did The Sahaba(RA) ask from the grave of the Prophet(SAW)
Salaam Alaikum,
Firstly, barelwis are not our brothers (as a group - and certainly as individuals if they reveal such beliefs as this one).
Secondly, the reply of Brother Ayman bin Khalid (I think he dislikes being called 'Shaykh') should suffice (in regards to the narration concerning Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (radiallahu anhu):
a. al-Hakim (رحمه الله) did not say this Hadeeth is Saheeh!. Rather he said its chain is Sahih and there is a big difference between each statement as known in science of hadeeth. The former means the narration is authentic whereas the latter does not necessirely mean the narrtion is authentic.
b. al-Dhahabi never agreed with al-Hakim on such statement. How would he agree on such classification when he himself stated that Dawd bin Saleh, who exists in the chain, is unknown narrator [refer to al-Mizaan of al-Dhahabi: 3/14 and Tahdheeb al-Tahdheen of al-Hafith: 3/188].
c. The chain also includes Katheer bin Zaid who is disputed over i.e. Abu Zar'a said he is Sadooq with some leen while al-Nasaie said he is weak.
d. Dawd bin Saleh narrates this story from a man called Marwaan and he is also unknown
Based on this, the chain is obviously weak and no scholar would ever say its chain is Sahih unless he relies on the work of al-hakim, which is incorrect in this one, without anticipating it.
With regards the Matn of the narrtion, then it is obvious that it has some obvious oddness that prove its incorrectness, as can be noted. The narration indicate that the grave is in public and seen by whoever pass by while, as a matter of fact, we all know that the grave of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is actually located in the room of Aisha (رضي الله عنها). In addition, it is known that the Salaf including Imam Malik who was an observer to acts of people of Madina and Imam Ahmad who was in the region of Hijaaz or the Shafie who was in Mecca disliked and disapproved touching the grave and said that people of knowledge never done it, which proves that such narrtion is too weak and no one ever acted upon.
In summery,The chain is very weak and so is its text also. So, no one should quote such narrations or dig through narrations that never been acted upon by scholars. Thus whatever you concluded based on such narration is rejected and cannot be accepted or even considered.
Secondly, the aathar of Malik ad-Darr has issues and all of them are raised by the brothers at Ahlulhadeeth wordpress in this three-part reply.
The SECOND Reply to Asraar Rasheed as-Soofee al-Bareilwee (& Abul Hasan, GF Haddad, faqir & whoever) | Ahlul hadeeth
The THIRD Reply to Abul Hasan Soofee & Asraar Rasheed as-Soofee al-Bareilwee (GF Haddad, faqir & whoever) | Ahlul hadeeth
If you ignore the slightly infantile titles they are a wealth of useful information.
Thirdly, the 'story of al-Utbi' is just that- a story. It does not constitute any form of Shari'a evidence.
However, in analysis of the text, brother Abuz-Zubair noted the following:
Version:1.0StartHTML:0000000167EndHTML:0000002624S tartFragment:0000000454EndFragment:0000002608With respect to Ibn Qudama quotingal-'Utbi's narration in al-Mughni, then there are a few points weshould bear in mind:
1) Ibn Qudama does not mention thenarration as an evidence, but only as a citation, which is why hesays: 'yurwa' – it has been narrated, indicating that thenarration is weak, and therefore, not suitable as an evidence.
2)The 'Utbi narration is not an evidence from what we know of Usulal-Fiqh, for evidence is what the Prophet said, did, or agreed to.The 'Utbi incident – even if we were to assume it authentic –would have no bearing at all with respect to fiqh.
3) Thenarration does not – anywhere – indicate that 'Utbi was makingdu'a to the Prophet. All it says is (as Shibli translated –emphasis is mine):
And it is narrated from al-`Utbi who said, 'I was sitting at the grave of the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) when a Bedouin approached and said, 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. I have heard that Allah says {And if when they wronged themselves, they came to you and repented to Allah and the Messenger seeks their pardon they would have found Allah All-Forgiving and Most Merciful.} So I have come to you penitent for my sins seeking your intercession to my Lord.'
He does not say to the Prophet: 'OProphet, forgive me', for that would be Shirk.
He simply didwhat he thinks he is told to do in the verse: 'they came to you andrepented to Allah'.
It is like a person coming to theBlack Stone saying: I have come to you, seeking forgiveness of mysins. Meaning, he is not seeking forgiveness from the stone, orcalling upon the stone to help. He is merely expressing his emotions,while seeking forgiveness from Allah alone.
Lastly, Gibril Fouad Haddad al-Haqqani is not a reliable source for anything at all, as he is a mushrik, and all of this material that this mushrik gave to you is copied and pasted from Mr. Haddad.
The Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عايه و سلم) is reported to have said, "No one had ever been given anything better than patience." (Bukhari, Muslim)

Re: Did The Sahaba(RA) ask from the grave of the Prophet(SAW)
Ok he has given the arabic of the hadith in ibn kathirs(rh) kitab :
وقال الحافظ أبو بكر البيهقي: أخبرنا أبو نصر بن قتادة، وأبو بكر الفارسي قالا: حدثنا أبو عمر بن مطر، حدثنا إبراهيم بن علي الذهلي، حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، حدثنا أبو معاوية، عن الأعمش، عن أبي صالح، عن مالك قال: أصاب الناس قحط في زمن عمر بن الخطاب، فجاء رجل إلى قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم.
فقال: يا رسول الله استسق الله لأمتك فإنهم قد هلكوا.
فأتاه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في المنام فقال: إيت عمر، فأقرئه مني السلام، وأخبرهم أنه مسقون، وقل له عليك بالكيس الكيس.
فأتى الرجل فأخبر عمر، فقال: يا رب ما آلوا إلا ما عجزت عنه.وهذا إسناد صحيح.
He also quotes from ibn hajr's(rh) books:
Shaykh al-Islam al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in al-Isaba fi Tamyiz al-Sahaba (3/484) :
الإصابة - لابن حجرHafiz ibn Hajar in Fath al Bari (2/495)
8362[ص:274] مالك بن عياض مولى عمر هو الذي يقال له مالك الدار له إدراك وسمع من أبي بكر الصديق وروى عن الشيخين ومعاذ وأبي عبيدة روى عنه أبو صالح السمان وابناه عون وعبدالله ابنا مالك وأخرج البخاري في التاريخ من طريق أبي صالح ذكوان عن مالك الدار أن عمر قال في قحوط المطر يا رب لا آلو إلا ما عجزت عنه وأخرجه بن أبي خيثمة من هذا الوجه مطولا قال أصاب الناس قحط في زمن عمر فجاء رجل إلى قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله استسق الله لأمتك فأتاه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في المنام فقال له ائت عمر فقل له إنكم مستسقون فعليك الكفين قال فبكى عمر وقال يا رب ما آلوا إلا ما عجزت عنه وروينا في فوائد داود بن عمرو الضبي جمع البغوي من طريق عبدالرحمن بن سعيد بن يربوع المخزومي عن مالك الدار قال دعاني عمر بن الخطاب يوما فإذا عنده صرة من ذهب فيها أربعمائة دينار فقال اذهب بهذه إلى أبي عبيدة فذكر قصته وذكر بن سعد في الطبقة الأولى من التابعين في أهل المدينة قال روى عن أبي بكر وعمر وكان معروفا وقال أبو عبيدة ولاه عمر كيلة عيال عمر فلما قدم عثمان ولاه القسم فسمى مالك الدار وقال إسماعيل القاضي عن علي بن المديني كان مالك الدار خازنا لعمر.
وروى ابن أبي شيبة بإسناد صحيح من رواية أبي صالح السمان عن مالك الداري - وكان خازن عمر - قال " أصاب الناس قحط في زمن عمر فجاء رجل إلى قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يا رسول الله استسق لأمتك فإنهم قد هلكوا، فأتى الرجل في المنام فقيل له: ائت عمر " الحديث.
وقد روى سيف في الفتوح أن الذي رأى المنام المذكور هو بلال بن الحارث المزني أحد الصحابة، وظهر بهذا كله مناسبة الترجمة لأصل هذه القصة أيضا والله الموفق.
i dont actually know arabic, so if any knowledgeable brothers can please check the above and respond to this.
My barelwi friend says:it is absurd to claim Ibn Kathir would declare a narration Sahih if he regarded what it contained Shirk and without even commenting on it being Shirk!
In fact Ibn Hajr even goes to the extent to claim that the man that went to the grave of the Prophet is Bilal ibn al-Harith, by Allah Ibn Hajr would not have done such if according to him this action was Shirk for then he would be suggesting that Bilal practiced Shirk! By Allah Ibn Hajr did not even regard this practice as Bida' for he would not be suggesting that Bilal was on the path of Bida'!
i know very well there are many arguments refuting the authenticity of the narration and refuting the claim that the man was Bilal, that is not the point here, the point is regarding your claim that just because these scholars have cited this narration does not mean they did not regard it as Shirk! and I am asking is this claim also valid if those scholars have explicitly declared the narration as authentic as well as attributing the incident to a companion of the Meseenger of Allah

Re: Did The Sahaba(RA) ask from the grave of the Prophet(SAW)
If you don't know arabic, then why are you playing games with your Tawheed by arguing with a semi-learned Barelwi on such extraordinarily delicate matters?
This is massively unintelligent.The Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عايه و سلم) is reported to have said, "No one had ever been given anything better than patience." (Bukhari, Muslim)

Re: Did The Sahaba(RA) ask from the grave of the Prophet(SAW)
If anything the transmission reported by Ibn Kathir shows how the Prophet SAWS cared for and corrected his Companions RA, even from their dreams by informing the 'man' [whether or not it is Bilal bin al-Harith] of the correct way to perform Istisqaa- go to Umar RA and follow his example. Umar RA then proceeded to have al-Abbas RA perform the Du'a.
So that transmission is not an evidence for doing what Bilal bin al-Harith did BEFORE he was corrected by his dream of the Prophet SAWS and informed of the correct manner of performing Istisqaa.
If the dream of the man is taken as an evidence [which I do not accept], then it stands to reason that there is more of a right upon those who would do so to also follow the instruction of the Prophet SAWS in the dream.
Why count the transmission as authentic and argue for following it, but call only to following the actions of the man BEFORE being instructed by the Prophet SAWS?
Doesn't it make more sense to follow what the man did AFTER being instructed by the Prophet SAWS, especially when it is viewed as a correction of his original acts?
People cannot see once they have themselves chosen a path of blindness.

Changes to Breeding
October 31,2001
Due to several factors, I felt it necessary to change the way breeding in the game is handled. First and foremost, the current ticker is prone to "stick" on certain horses, causing an over-abundance of some sires (ie : Nureyev) while causing other sires to be under-represented. Also, some sires (ie : Storm Cat) are prone to overbreeding regardless of their price.
For these reasons, I am trying out a new "supply and demand" model to breeding. Please carefully read over these changes (the most notable of which is that the number of times a sire can be used for breeding is now limited). Several other options have been added as well, all of which are included in the body of these new instructions. Also, at the end, I have a section in which I address what I consider to be the most common concerns about this new method.
On Sunday slightly after races are updated, breeding will begin for the week. Some horses will be able to be bred immediately, while others require a "waiting period" that can last as late as Noon EST on Monday (the waiting period is random and is reset weekly). A horse begins at an initial cost that will slide downward over the week. Most of the game's premier sires will start at a cost of 500 breeding points. How fast and to what cost a sire can slide to depends on several factors: primarily, how many sim-horses the sire has already produced and, to a secondary extent, the ability of the sire. If you "can't wait", you can breed using a horse before he is out of his waiting period for a cost of 1000 points.
Each sire is now limited to how many sim-horses it can sire during the week. All current sires can now only breed a maximum of two 2-years olds and (if applicable) one 3-year old per week. The number of times a horse can be used as a dam sire or dam's dam sire from scratch depends on how long the horse was/has been at stud. When you view the sire ticker, you will see how many times the horse can still be used for the current week under the "Still Available" header.
You can still breed from scratch or use current, older sim-horses to breed to. Using a dam you own still costs 50 points. To use a male horse as a dam (the "sex-change" operation) costs 125 points. You may now breed a horse with less than 6 starts for 100 extra points. To breed a 2-year old using a current horse's lineage requires a 5 year old dam. To breed a 3 year old using a current horse's lineage requires a 6 year old dam. You can now "push the breeding envelope" for a cost of 250 extra points. "Pushing the breeding envelope" means you can use a 4 year old dam to breed a 2 year old horse or use a 5 year old dam to breed a 3 year old horse. As always, if you breed a horse from scratch, you can choose to eliminate a horse of any age or sex at no extra cost. If you do not want to eliminate a current horse, do not want to use any of your horses for breeding, and have an opening in your stable, you can create a new horse without eliminating another horse for 50 extra breeding points.
The 50% "Bargain Babies" are still in effect. If you breed a horse from scratch that costs less than 100 points, you will get half off.
You can still only breed at most one non-"Bargain Baby" from scratch per week. In other words, if a horse costs you more than 100 points and you didn't use one of your other horses as a dam, then that is the only horse you can breed during that week for that stable.
Another new option is that you can purchase your new horse using credits instead of breeding points. This option only works for non-"Bargain Babies." Note, however, that a sire can only be purchased once per week regardless of where it is used in the lineage. In other words, if someone breeds a Gulch x Naskra x Dr. Fager horse from scratch and pays using credits, no one else during the week can use credits to purchase a horse sired by Gulch (although Gulch can still be purchased using breeding points). Also, no one could use credits to purchase a horse created from scratch with Gulch, Naskra, or Dr. Fager in it's lineage (again, however, breeding points can still be used). If you purchase a horse using credits and it is not created for some reason, your credits will be refunded.
Probable Concerns :
First and foremost: Did I read that right? You can buy a horse using credits?
Now won't only the players willing to spend real money be competitive?
First off, only once per week can a sire be purchased using credits. So if someone bought a Danzig x Storm Cat x Theatrical using credits, no one else could purchase any of these sires again during the same week using credits. In other words, all subsequent horses bred from scratch (or sired) during the week using Danzig, Storm Cat, or Theatrical would have to use breeding points, making it impossible for people using only credits to horde all of the well bred horses.
Why allow this at all?
Many of the residents run contests and like to offer giveaways. This is a way to allow them to do that without using their personal breeding points. Also, it's another "pay perk" I am adding to the game. We make about a quarter of what we did off of advertising only 3 months ago, and were recently stiffed for a sizable (several thousand dollar) chunk of change from a previous third-party provider. By adding some pay options, it allows us to keep the game free for those unable to pay for it.
Breeding a well bred horse is even more expensive than before! 1500 points? Cripes!
The points will always slide downward throughout the week. Many sires will drop below their fair market value by the end of the week. In other words, those willing to "buy high" can do so to guarantee they get the breeding they want. Others can wait until a little later in the week and pick up some bargains. It will also create great opportunities for getting nicely bred "Bargain Babies" for extremely cheap, as the ticker price is now based more on "supply and demand."
I've tried to wait for a horse to come down in price, but someone always breeds to him before I can afford it! This is frustrating! I like the old method better!
The old method was allowing too many similar horses to be bred. This is why each sire is now limited to the number of times it can be bred each week. By setting a sire's price high and allowing it to drop during the week, it ensures that the person most willing (or at least most able) to buy a breeding to the sire gets it.
Why is (fill in a sire here)'s "Starting Time" approximately 2:00 am? No one's awake at that time! Why not make the "Starting Time" somewhere between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm?
Don't forget about out overseas population (almost 20% of our game). I try to be as fair to all players as possible. BTW, This is why the auction is the way it is as well.

Okay, this is not a typical question, but applies in a specific case. Starting out as a freelancer, most of us spend a lot of time in picking up necessary skills and building out a set of happy clients and drawing a decent, even if not steady, income.
Now when we want to take up more work, naturally the first thought is to hire people - but its such a pain, if you ask me - depending on other people to do the work, taking up a project (maybe on fixed price) but having to pay a salary to your employees, keeping track of their work timings, training them, etc, its just too much work. Still I see a lot of people have successfully transitioned from being Freelancers to small teams, and then bigger teams fairly easily - at the same time, many, still cringe at that notion.
What do you think is needed to make that jump - from being a freelancer, to actually being a development company?

Over the years there have been many newsletters published by or for Olmste(a)d Families. I will admit that my collection is far from complete. One goal would be to reproduce, on this Internet site, appropriate issues that are of interest to the researcher as permissions are gained and as time permits.
I am unaware of any newsletter published by the Olmsted Family, Inc. from their founding until their demise, c1952. I suspect that there may have been an annual letter announcing reunions and asking that birth, death, and marriage activities be sent to the secretary.
Olmste(a)d Genealogy Recorded (OGR) and Olmstead News issue 1975-1982 by Walt Steesy on a paid subscription basis. This was primarily a genealogical publication that included queries. From 1980 to 1982 it also sent to the members of the Olmste(a)d Family Association.
Olmsted Family Journal by Roger Orley Olmsted, with his son Gregory and daughter-in-law Pamela Olmsted. First issued in April 1993 as a quarterly until ? on a paid subscription basis. In 1998 and 1999 it was issued in Spring and Fall as the Olmste(a)d Family Newsletter for the Olmste(a)d Family Association. This newsletter was well written and included interesting stories and photos to augment genealogical information.
The Jabez of Ware Newsletter has been published bi-annually since 1997 as a joint publication by Carl Hommel (US) and Joe Barber (Canada). This newsletter "is to facilitate the exchange of research information among Jabez descendants and to encourage and assist with ongoing research." Each issue features an article by Doreen Dolleman who does in depth research on the Jabez Olmsted line, in addition to submissions of genealogical information by other Jabez descendants. More information, back issues, and a photo gallery are available at their web site www.jabezolmsted.com.
Tree Leaves or other "official" newsletters of the Olmste(a)d Family Association have appeared in various forms and styles over the years.
* Sept. 1991 - Oct. 1992 -- Edited by J. W. "Little Bill" Olmstead of Winnipeg, MB. Sept. 1991 was labeled 5th Anniversary issue. Earlier issues may have been offered by other editors; none are in my collection.
* Summer 1994 - Winter 1997 -- Edited by Elizabeth (Olmstead) Carroll of Saint Paul, MN.
* 1998 - 1999 -- Roger & Greg Olmsted's Olmste(a)d Family Newsletter served as the OFA official publication.
* 2000 - 2007 -- Edited by Esther Olmstead of Cassadaga, NY. Quarterly in Jan, Apr, Jul, & Oct.
* 2008 - 2009 -- Upon the death of Esther in December 2007, Walt Steesy served as temporary editor, continuing on a quarterly basis.

Sun, Dec 30, 2007
ANN Reader Bob Rose
tipped us off to a bit of holiday cheer that took place over the
holidays... namely Angel Flight West's 2007 "Santa Flight."
As they tell it, "on Saturday morning, December 22nd the Nevada
Wing of Angel Flight West launched a very special event from the
North Las Vegas Airport. Our KVGT based Angel Flight pilots loaded
up 15 airplanes, ranging from a Decathlon all the up to a couple of
414's and a TBM-700 with food, toys, and medical supplies. They
also carried Santa and a Channel 3 news crew as they departed for
Cedar City, UT to bring Christmas to 5 bands of the Paiute Indian
tribe. As you may be aware, Angel Flight is a non-profit
organization that arranges free air transportation to people with
health care and other compelling human needs. All services are free
of charge and the pilots of Angel Flight donate their time,
aircraft and expenses to fly thousands of missions each year. Angel
Flight West covers 13 western US states and has over 1800 volunteer
pilots, many of whom are based at KVGT in North Las Vegas."
Angel Flight Santa Flights actually began with the Utah wing of
Angel Flight West out of Salt Lake City on December 15th, reaching
6 remote destinations on reservations around the region,
culminating in the big push to Cedar City in conjunction with the
Nevada pilots on the 22nd. The U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots
program donated almost all of the toys staged from Las Vegas. The
LDS church donated 60,000 pounds of food (no kidding, 50 pallets!)
along with pallets of shoes of all sizes. Globus Relief supplied 22
pallets of medical supplies, and they received generous cash
donations from Wal-Mart and the Las Vegas community to round out
the array of toys for the older children and adults.
By the time the last Angel Flight aircraft lifted off into the
sunset from Cedar City on Saturday afternoon, Angel Flight West had
brought Christmas to approximately 2600 Native American families
representing seven of the poorest and most needy tribes in the
Next year, Angel Flight and the Nevada wing based at VGT plan to
expand this wonderful event into the Silver State to serve the many
Nevada Native American tribes located in remote areas of Nevada. In
addition to delivering lots of toys, goodies, food, help and hope,
they expect help from the Air National Guard in the form of a C-130
for heavy lift (this year they had to use some trucks) and a Marine
Honor Guard from the Marines Toys for Tots program.
(There ya go, folks... more proof for our belief that aviators
are some of the best folks on/over earth... -- JIm Campbell, ANN

While there are just about a million illustrations out there which have fun with the characters of Star Wars, The Big Lebowski and pretty much every rendition of the Batman Movies, it isn't often you find drawings from the cult classic film The Princess Bride. Here to feed your hunger is Nathan W Pyle, creating some not-so-serious illustrations from a similarly not-so-serious film. You'll find more at nathanwpyle.com. [Read more…]
Whimsical Paintings With Pop-Culture Swagger
Artist Drake Brodahl describes himself as a "part-time, pajama-wearing tube sock ninja"… and even better than that, we think he's also a black belt with the paintbrush. Inspired by classic children's books, his often whimsical acrylic paintings have a decidedly mid-century flair, mixing pop-culture references with charmingly humanistic animals. Based out of the greater Seattle area, Brodahl has been exhibiting up and down the west coast of the United States and is quickly gaining notoriety. See his website, drakebrodahl.com for more of his work, or see the latest at his blog, pumml.blogspot.com. [Read more…]

Whether it's to sell cars, beer, comics or movies, featuring a beautiful woman will obviously bring your product to the attention of any red-blooded man. But, video games have every other medium put to shame when it comes to vivacious females.
We're not exactly sure why video-game designers do this to us. Maybe it's because they're lonely. Or, they've watched Weird Science one too many times and have realized that this will be the closest that they'll ever get to creating their ideal woman. Whatever the reason may be, there's a ton of hot video game characters out there.
It was a difficult task, but we've narrowed the list down to ten. And while many of you will argue with the following list, there's no denying that you're still going to gawk at the 10 Sexiest Video Game Characters of All Time.
10. Rayne (BloodRayne series)
While vampires may be currently "in," BloodRayne gave the world what vampires should really be all about. Bad-ass creatures of the night. In 2002, the series unveiled its leading lady, Rayne, who not only dresses impractically in black leather, but also takes out global threats like Nazis. Her looks and skills are so spectacular that UGO.com described her as the "epitome of a video game hottie."
9. Lili (Tekken series)
Lili, full name Emilie de Rochefort, was introduced in 2005's Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. While the Tekken series has a number of lovely ladies, Lili is by far our favorite. She's a cute, blonde bombshell that blends street fighting with gymnastics. It doesn't get any better than that.
8. Jill Valentine (Resident Evil series)
Resident Evil is another series that has a lot of hotties, but Jill Valentine is the original zombie-killing hottie. The character made her debut in the original game in 1996 and has since become one of the most popular video game characters in history. Probably because no one else can make killing the undead look so sexy.
7. The D.O.A. Girls (Dead or Alive series)
The Dead or Alive series may be known as a fast-paced fighting video game, but it's mainly remembered for its busty female characters. There are so many beauties in this series that Tecmo released a spin-off game in 2003, Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, which was basically just the D.O.A. girls bouncing around in ridiculously small bikinis.
6. Sophitia Alexandra (Soulcalibur series)
This Greek hottie made her debut in 1996's Soul Edge. The warrior has since become one of the Soul series' most memorable babes, especially after appearing in a swimsuit in Soul Blade.
5. Kitana (Mortal Kombat series)
Mortal Kombat is a series that needs no introduction, and neither should Princess Kitana. She's not only one of the most recognizable characters from Mortal Kombat, she's also one of the coolest, and definitely sexiest, since the game debuted in 1992.
4. Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers series)
Morrigan Aensland is so smoking that we can totally overlook the fact that she's a succubus with wings on her back and head. After being introduced in Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors in 1994, the character has easily become one of the most popular Darkstalkers character, as well as one of Capcom's flagship characters. I wonder why?
3. Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy series)
You know that you've got an excellent character when she's been compared to Lara Croft as an example of a strong, independent and attractive female video game character. Tifa made her debut in 1997's Final Fantasy VII and has captured our hearts because of her martial arts skills, and her tight outfits as well.
2. Chun Li (Street Fighter series)
After being introduced in Street Fighter II in 1991, Chun Li has earned the right to be called the "first lady of fighting games". She's not a damsel in distress, but a woman who can hold her own. And, she looks fine doing it. After all these years, Chun Li remains one of the most classic video game beauties.
1. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider series)
When you think of a hot female video game character, Lara Croft should immediately come to mind. She was introduced in 1996's Tomb Raider and has become one of the most popular sex symbols ever. She has a huge fan following, which would explain why the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot sold one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and was portrayed by Angelina Jolie in the film adaptation. Lara Croft, hands down, belongs at the top of this list.

Doctor Who's time-traveling TARDIS could theoretically exist, says new study November 1, 2013 at 5:13 pm
Good news, Doctor Who fans! A pair of physicists have proposed a spacetime geometry where Doctor Who's TARDIS would actually be capable of traveling both forward and backward through space and time. This kind of spacetime could actually exist in our own universe, meaning the TARDIS — if such a craft was ever created — might actually have a scientific leg to stand on.

Temps may be cooling off stateside, but it's really heating up down in Brazil -- partly due to Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster's hot beach bodies!
The two, plus "Fast 5" co-stars Vin Diesel, Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson, were spotted in Rio de Janeiro to continue filming the fifth entry to the high-octane franchise.
Paul and Jordana were spotted shooting back in July in Puerto Rico, where Jordana's character was sporting a baby bump!
Brazil, Puerto Rico -- what a life!
If sense were common everyone would have it.:
