Tatsunoko Fight
STORY: If there can be a collective of Super Friends, why not a cabal of super villains? The forces of evil from the various anime series created by Tatsunoko Studios have merged their powers, so the heroes of those same universes must join forces to save us all. This saving takes the form of a lot of unarmed combat - you can probably figure out what to do from here. You must do battle with the great villains of those various shows - or even other heroes, in Vs. mode. Series whose characters are included are Gatchaman (better known as Battle Of The Planets in the U.S.), Tekkaman, Casshan, and Polymer The Ha-Ri-Ken Fighter. A new character in the classic Tatsunoko Studios mold, Volter The Lightning, is introduced here for the first time.
Ken the Eagle VS Hurricane Polymar!
ABOUT: Tatsunoko Fight is a traditional 2D fighting game featuring playable characters from four of Tatsunoko's most well known franchises: Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, Neo-Human Casshern, Tekkaman: The Space Knight, and Hurricane Polymar, as well an original series created exclusively for the game, Denkou Senka Volter (Lightning Warrior Volter). Each series is represented by three members, consisting of a "Hero," "Supporter," and "Arch Rival" character from their respective franchises.
Unless you're a Tatsunoko fan, this game may appear to be on the generic side of things.
Page Updated: December 22nd, 2013 Developer(s): Takara Publisher(s): Takara Platform(s): Playstation (Japan only) Release Date(s): October 5th, 2000 () Characters: Tekkaman, Eagle Ken, Swan Jun, Hurricane Polymar, Casshern, Berg Katse, Luna Kotsuki, Buraiking Boss, Andro Umeda, Teru Nanba, Dobrai, Astral Chameleon, Volter, Neon, Karochi Taiki, Rosraisen

Final Words:
I haven't played Tatsunoko Fight myself, but I have seen it played in person (at EVO 2005). To me, it's really not that impressive of a fighting game when compared to what was out at the time and is a bit generic overall. Both the animation and gameplay are sub-par at their absolute best.
However, Tatsunoko Fight is very much a fan service to those who have followed Tatsunoko's franchises over the years, and I'm sure anyone who calls themselves a Tatsunoko fan would enjoy this game for nostalgia value alone. ~TFG Webmaster

Love in Islam: Valentine's Day
Originally published in January 2011.
I once dropped by the MSA at the University of Tulsa and heard a very disturbing story. A man from the area had left Islam and had recently given a talk at a local church about his apostasy. He claimed that there was no love in Islam. He felt that the Islamic way of life is filled with hate, harshness and rigidity. I plan to touch on how this apostate and others like him are dead wrong. It is obvious to any common practicing Muslim that they have very little knowledge of the Qur'an and Sunnah (ways of the Prophet ﷺ, peace be upon him). Before making such a judgment, they should have based their decision based upon the scripture. The truth is that a problem common to all apostates I've heard of is blaming Islam for the actions of people who happened to be called Muslim, yet aren't necessarily practicing Islam correctly.
When talking about love in Islam let's see what the Holy Qur'an says about it. First of all I would like to note two definitions of love found in the American Heritage Dictionary:
8a. God's benevolence and Mercy toward man.
8b. Man's devotion to or adoration of God.
These two definitions precisely describe the Islamic concept of the relation between God and man.
When reading the Qur'an, anyone can easily recognize the emphasis put on God's love, compassion, graciousness, mercy and forgiveness. As a matter of fact, all chapters of the Qur'an except one begin with the phrase "in the name of God" who is described as Al-Rahman (the Benevolent) and Al-Raheem (the Merciful). This verse is often translated as "in the Name of God, the Benevolent and Merciful." This fits the exact meaning of the definition for the love of God found in the English dictionary. These two descriptions are the most commonly used words by which Allah describes Himself in the Qur'an. These characteristics of Allah refer to His countless blessings, bounties and forgiveness He has bestowed upon us without us deserving anything. He does all of that even though we constantly break His commandments.
Similarly, when we look at the Arabic word muslim, we find that it is a person who is devoted to Allah, submitting to His will. This is exactly what the English dictionary has to say about the meaning of a person's love for God.
Life is all about a test of realization and action. We are drawn to a realization of God's love for us and leading a life of gratitude, which reflects our deep adoration and devotion to God. We do this hoping that our beloved Creator will be pleased with us and yearning to be with Him for eternity in the bliss of the hereafter. This well-known concept of the purpose of life according to Islam perfectly reflects the meaning of the man's love for God.
Islam enjoins the general concept of love among mankind as well. This is first and foremost done by promoting the love of God amongst our fellow man. This is manifested through our practice of the concept of "rahmah" which can be translated as love, mercy, compassion or forgiveness. The Prophet ﷺ told his companions, as narrated authentically in al-Targheeb (3/210):
لن تؤمنوا حتى ترحموا قالو يا رسول الله كلنا رحيم قال إنه ليس بر حمة أحدكم صاحبه و لكنه رحمة العامة
"You don't truly believe until you have rahmah for others." His companions responded, "We all have rahmah." The Prophet ﷺ then told them, "Verily, you don't reach this level of faith by just having rahmah for those who are close to you, but you must have rahmah for everyone."
In fact this was the sum of why Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) sent the Prophet ﷺ. He says in verse 107 of al-Anbiyaa in the Qur'an,
And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds. (21:107)
In this category of general love for everything, we have another very important type of love. This is the love between a husband and wife. So before continuing about this love and how it manifests itself between married couples, let's talk about how one gets married according to Islam.
Finding a spouse in Islam is quite easy. It is actually much easier than in common western culture. Islam forbids anything that can possibly lead to fornication. First, let's ponder over verse 32 of Surah al-Israa in the Qur'an,
This verse means "Don't even come close to fornicating." (17:32)
As a result of this, it is prohibited to be alone with, flirt or touch someone from the opposite sex who isn't your spouse or immediate family. The only mixed gender interactions should be accompanied by lowering the gaze, hijab, only speaking about a necessity like buying something, asking directions, discussing religious matters, etc… So you can see why Islam prohibits the modern concept of boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. This solves so many social problems prevalent in societies that don't observe this seemingly strict code of mixed gender mingling. Many who were raised here in the West have many reactions to these rules, the most common of which is, "So how are we supposed to find a spouse?"
Back in the time of the Prophet ﷺ and even until today in some cultures, parents arranged marriage through their relationships with other families they knew well. Best case scenario is that they might allow them to see each other once or show a picture, but then the parents would completely make the decision of compatibility as well as of the marriage itself. Believe it or not, in the old days this would work the vast majority of the time for reasons which I will mention later.
Nowadays, people have become more critical and have an individualist, opinionated outlook, and women have taken a stronger role in society. For this reason, it would be wise for parents not to force their children to marry someone without their full approval and acceptance. This advice is based upon firsthand knowledge of many arranged marriages which obviously were not arranged based upon compatibility and/or went sour.
It should be that the family and friends of a Muslim bachelor or bachelorette are those who are actually looking for a suitable spouse for him or her. If Allah's will was that a Muslim bachelor meets, or personally knows of someone whom he or she is interested, then he should immediately go to her family about it, preferably the father. Parents should allow their child to have some chaperoned meetings with someone in whom they are initially interested. These meetings should be strictly about learning about each other's personality and expectations in their spouse. If after a few of these meetings they don't feel compatible then they should break off all communication in that regard and go back to being a regular Muslim brother and sister. If after praying for Allah's guidance (istikharah) they feel close and compatible, then it is best to get married as soon as possible. There may be a small period of engagement, but even if they are culturally engaged that does not change the fact that in Islam there is no change in their relationship. It is just an inclination to marry down the road which either party can break free from at any time.
The basic difference between an Islamic marriage and a western marriage is that in the West a couple generally meets without any help from the family. Their meeting is usually a result of a man's attraction and a woman's being flattered and enjoying his charming company. Then they proceed as a married couple—sometimes for many years—until they decide that they want to live the rest of their life with each other. Then they get married. They feel like they were already in love for some time. So they live together after getting married and they get sick of each other and get a divorce for one reason or another. In Islam, the marriage is protected by the divine legislation of God. The first factor in this preservation is that the marriage—if done correctly—is first formed through real compatibility and not physical desires which can often get a man to act in whatever way will get him what he wants and by the girl being flattered and charmed by his fake façade—or as we say in modern terminology, "his game."
Once a Muslim couple is officially married, they understand that even with compatibility they must work for the rest of their lives to preserve love, compassion, understanding, respect and forgiveness between them. They have entered into a covenant with Allah (swt) that carries rights and responsibilities towards each other. The basic foundation of that bond is found in the Holy Qur'an in verse 21 of Surah al-Rum,
"And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought." (30:21)
That said, we are now coming close to the time in which most Westerners celebrate Valentine's Day. There is much mystery and folklore as to where this holiday came from, but the general story is that it was originally a pagan holiday. After the Roman Empire embraced Christianity, it was later named after a Catholic saint named Valentine. Folklore suggests that in the 3rd century C.E., the Roman Emperor Claudius II banned young healthy men from marriage. In defense of the divine union of marriage, St. Valentine allegedly protested this by secretly holding marriage ceremonies. He later was martyred on February 14th, thus marking the date.
Today this holiday has no religious affiliation and is common to both religious folk and atheists. It is a day on which couples exchange cards, candy, chocolate, flowers and even jewelry as a token of their love. This is also a day where many premarital relationships happen or are forged.
So the question many Muslims have is, "What is the ruling on taking part in any of the traditional practices of this holiday?"
The vast majority of scholars hold it to be prohibited to buy, sell or take part in anything that is related to this holiday. They base this ruling on a few reasons:
- They see it lead to social problems in the Muslim world, especially the recent skyrocket in dating and romantic premarital relationships.
- It is a day on which a lot of fornication happens and even small children are encouraged to start engaging in premarital relationships.
- It is imitating the disbelievers in their religious practices. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever imitates a people is one of them."
- It is rooted in the religious practices of non-Muslims so it is an innovation which must be rejected.
- It is a holiday and all holidays except the two `Eids are innovations, religious or not.
A handful of other scholars don't feel that there is any conclusive evidence that prohibits Muslim married couples from taking this opportunity to recognize and commend their love for each other and do something special together. They argue against the five aforementioned proofs that celebrating this holiday isn't necessarily what has caused Muslims to have illicit relationships, but that—Valentine's Day or not—those people are going to follow their desires and prohibiting this day won't solve that problem. They then contend that if some choose to do fornication and teach kids the path to fornication then that is their problem. They ask, "Why can't we do what the Prophet ﷺ did when he told the Jews that the Muslims were more worthy of following Moses than they and thus he fasted with them?" These scholars contend that this holiday was originally named after St. Valentine who defended the sanctity of marriage which is something common between us and it isn't related to polytheism or false worship. With that argument they also bring up the debate among the madhabs (schools of thought) about al-Ateerah. Al-Ateerah was a feast in Rajab where people originally slaughtered animals for their idols. The Muslims later took the same practice in the same month, slaughtered for Allah's sake, and gave some meat to the poor. Some scholars held that this allowance was later abrogated and prohibited while others held that it being a sunnah was abrogated and thus remained permissible. This is because many texts are hard to put together and make an easy ruling (for more info see the Kuwaiti Encyclopedia for Islamic Jurisprudence volume 29 under عتيرة). Furthermore, they argue that in the West this is a part of secular culture; even atheists take part in this holiday, and it is not seen as a Christian holiday, nor celebrated in churches like Christmas and Easter.
Allah knows best if there is sin in taking part in the tradition of this day, as both arguments have their proofs, but let's take our love seriously and live a life that reflects our love for Allah (swt) and His messenger ﷺ. This is indeed the true love; as Bob Marley correctly said, "One Love… Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."

how i wished my close frens and relatives would help me to find someone, but alas, even them thinks i should find my future spouse on my own. honestly i do not know what to do. it's exasperating.
I'm on the same boat as you.
Same to me as well. I keep asking my parents to find one. But they say, how if it wont fit me? Who knows if not yet tried? And my friend as well keep encouraging me to have more relationship with men. Meanwhile, I try to avoid it. Allah knows better, I am sure.
Assalaamu Alaikum
Br. Yahya, I liked this article a lot–the information and your way of presenting it was lovely. But I wonder if this is not what the apostates mean when they say 'there is no love in Islam'?
Its seems more like they are talking about he lack of kindness and compassion between muslims themselves, perhaps the way our communities interact with deen in general these days. It seems like we put so much effort into legalism (e.g. this is halal, this is haram, 'excuse me brother, but your pants are too long/ excuse me sister your feet aren't covered therefore your prayers are incorrect') rather than developing good character or helping our brothers/sisters spiritual growth.
I know this is very late.. but I agree with you. As mulsums I feel we are too bugged down on the "dos" and "donts". We need to develop better character amongst ourselves.
A very interesting and insightful post. When I used to watch TV I saw some episodes on 700 club that featured many "ex-Muslims." Unfortunately as I do know that there are people who stop practicing and even renounce the faith there are many many others who pose as former Muslims for political reasons.
One of the main argument I hear from the is the nonexistence of love in Islam which they contrast greatly with the concept of Godly love in Christianity usually symbolized by the "sacrifice" of jesus to humanity.
I think many Musliims do not even know what love is in our religion. And I have heard of many cold and harsh behavior from Muslims who were practicing. Many of us too often say that it is because people do not Know their faith but I disagree, I think there is a problem with how people translate their islamic knowledge into daily life. We criticize more then compliment. We "advise" more then self-check, we insult others for not being the way we want to be without asking for more forgiveness for what we do.
Love is more then just contracts and sayings, its about a feeling, a driving emotion. Love brings us to Allahs swt, love compells us to obey him and care for others who we have no serious connection with. Love is not a sin in Islam, Love is beautiful. And Muslims DO fall in love.
I think the best way to "refute" men like the one discussed is to be more loving and accepting of eachother and reflect on the love between the Prophets and their spouses. May Allah swt forgive us all and increase us in our knowledge
you try to use g8 way to get understod abt beuti of Islam here is every thing very easy beause Islam is the way of life style.
Ya Abu Majeed! Hope your family is doing well (did you guys move yet?) inshaAllah.
Indeed the discussion of love, once a taboo topic in our communities, has grown more popular due to the issues of finding spouses.
As a youth reading this article, I say it is very well put the reasons why things like dating and premarital flirting/mixing between genders is prohibited. It just seems unconceivable to many youth here in the West that Islam would think so poorly about the willpower of people. "Nah, it won't lead to anything bad. It's only natural for boys and girls to mix and mingle..". I question them to be put in the situation of Yusuf ('alayhi salaam), and see how strong their willpower would be. And unfortunately, we live in a society where that situtation could become possible..
I only address this to bring some added perspective to the article.
As far as Valentine's Day goes, why don't our brothers make it a chance to treat their wives with a little more love and mercy (and sisters to their husbands)? For the unmarried like myself…uh…read Qur'an on the 14th and turn off the TV showing those romantic comedies. (so..april fool's coming up, how about humor in islam next? )
Salamullahi alaik ya silent k!
Insha Allah I'll find you a good sister here in Charlotte and benefit from your expertise with the youth.
Actually…silent J! Will let him know though inshaAllah.
'Finding a spouse in Islam is quite easy. It is actually much easier than in common western culture'
If we may agree to disagree, I would say this is more so in theory than practicallity,as you have said, there is Islam and then well..there is Muslims, in my area the rising number of aging single Muslim men and woman is not unfamilar, and our community is not exempt from our own growing divorce rates so that moral high ground isn't really there.
I'm not saying western love is more wholistic or even 'halal' in many cases but it can be easier to navigate and get results in many cases, just from my observation of everyday reality.
Yup.. thts some truth there..
But i think its more becoz of our community culture. If MAJORITY of us follow this way, it must be easier.
For example, look at Indian Muslim @ mamak (no offense here), i see tht most of them still hv arrange marriage.
But still, there is always pros & cons for everything. We just hv to find the best solution.
Thank you for the interesting and insightful article. It seems to me that the way society is now, it may not even be possible for parents to look for mates for their children. I know mine told me pointblank that I will have to look for my own because they do not know if they even know where to find candidates for me. *grin*
Most of the Islamic matchmaking sites operate outside of my country; hence the candidates are from abroad. As someone who would prefer to look closer to home, what are his/her choices? Especially those that he/she comes across are either married/gay/not looking?
Oh, well.
Lovely article. Imam Yahya is funny, liked how he ended the article with that line of Bob Marley, lol. But very informative article, Imam Yahya to me, clearly knows how to understand the religion and present it to Muslims living in the west. I say that based on the articles that he has written. Salaams to all.
we know our ALLAH say him self that i love every one no one is small or big for them all his equall so we trust on our good ALLAH .
asalaam o alaikum……. Jazak allah awesum article,,,,,,,, love allah 'subhan wa tala' and mohammed ' sallela hu alehi wasallam'…and evry thing vch allah ordered to …….but niyyat is very important…
A good article indeed. We are to obsessed with too much legality until we forget that Rasulullah SAW has been send to us as a person of the best akhlak or character and one of them is love. Let us potray Love as part of our deen. Not only to our Muslim brothers and sisters but also to every mankind. Wallahu'alam
Good article one thing i would say is that why can't a man and a women see each other to get to each other before marriage, is there evidence that directly says this in the quran and or hadith. This is not the same thing as saying they should be allowed to spend alone time together in private(not in public). One thing i noticed is in islamic communities is that there seems to be so much distance between man and women to the point that they are afraid to talk to each other. They have to do it in a very subtle way, but you know the intention is there this suppresses basic human emotions to the extreme. These kind of things is what deter people away from islam not just 9/11. I don't see way some interaction can't be allowed, what if you don't know the girl's dad at all?
Just my thoughts
-verily allah knows best
"The basic difference between an Islamic marriage and a western marriage is that in the West a couple generally meets without any help from the family. Their meeting is usually a result of a man's attraction and a woman's being flattered and enjoying his charming company. Then they proceed as a married couple—sometimes for many years—until they decide that they want to live the rest of their life with each other. Then they get married. They feel like they were already in love for some time. So they live together after getting married and they get sick of each other and get a divorce for one reason or another."
This is an incredibly facile, unidimensional, and condescending caricature of "love in the West". Love isn't perfect anywhere, in any culture or tradition. If you want to argue that the Islamic tradition regarding love and marriage is better, do so–but have the integrity to be balanced in your argument.
I totally agree with you.
There are plenty of Western people who have meaningful relationships followed by meaningful marriages. Likewise there are plenty of non-Western Muslims stuck in horrid marriages that were based on shallow considerations.
Brother Yahya, let us be bluntly honest. Plenty of Muslims also marry for shallow reasons like looks or money…probably the majority. It is well known in ANY immigrant community that good looking (usually fair skinned) girls get more proposals and good looking guys are cut some slack "financially"…if not good looking you better have that MD or JD after your name.
Furthermore the parents & community use their status as wali to "weed out" candidates based on ethnicity and race. Good luck even getting the "interview" if you are not from their race, tribe, town, village or whatever from "back home". Due to this, intermarriage is dismally low in the Muslim community and the West is actually WAY, WAY ahead of us in regards to intermarriage both in it's views and in practice.
Given all these issues, Muslims have the SAME problems as non-Muslim Westerners following marriage. At most you can say pre-marital sex is lower in Muslim communities who follow the traditional system. That's all.
If we are talking about what is QUR'ANIC or from the SUNNAH…well, that's an IDEAL. It's unfair to compare an Islamic IDEAL to a Western PRACTICE. The West also has it's ideals. No Western woman will tell you she wants to be flattered by a player or find her husband at a dance club.
If you compare MUSLIMS tho, to WESTERN non-MUSLIMS…the whole argument goes out the window, except for lower rates of pre-marital sex or unmarried pregnancies. Muslims are so, so, so, so, far from the ideal brother…
Next time you are in California, Virginia or NY, come with me to an Afghan wedding and you can see how the prospective grooms mothers go around looking for prospective daughters-in-law. Their standard sure ain't Qur'an and Sunnah, let me assure you! Muslims are not any better or worse in behavior than non-Muslims brother…Some good on both sides, and plenty of bad on both!
Right on Zai!! I have heard soooo many Muslims say that their son HAD to marry an Indian girl and vice versa. I am a white convert who married an Indian guy. He was nervous about his family accepting me, but alhamdulilah they ended up liking me to his relief. We knew each other for a few years as friends and then feelings developed.
I think its best to get to know the other person before making such an important life decision. It's really sad to hear folks say that they don't know how to interact or meet a woman/man of the opposite sex. This is how hard the family and the Muslim community makes it.
Growing up Chritsian, yes there are good ethical Christians who don't live with their boyfriends before marriage. Pre-marital sex does occur more often, but I think it happens with Muslims (especially single men) as well. Its just not as talked about for fear of being shunned.
Islam is perfect. Only Muslims are not perfect.
Peace respected Jessica,
First off I appreciate your blunt response as it came from the heart and it looks like you are fighting fire with fire. This article was written 2 years ago and what a difference that makes. I don't believe if I wrote the same one today that I would have worded this particular part the same.
That being said the statement about secular marriages was a generality that more often than naught is true statistically and psychologically speaking.
I'm not arguing culture against culture. The Muslims' culture is often far from the ideal of an Islamic marriage. My call was for Muslims to take that into consideration. The main point is marriage is a serious pact in front of God and it should be preserved and worked on for life. I am very confident after studying comparative religion thoroughly that the Islamic teachings regarding how to form, nurture and preserve a marriage are quite more detailed and structured than any other religion. Any objective student would have to respect that.
And God knows best!
I find it interesting that Valentine's Day has been deemed by "scholars" to not be permissible to engage in because of taking on non-believers religious practice, yet scholars find Christmas fine to celebrate and give gifts, when Christmas is in many ways just out right blasphemous. Also, any holiday that's not the Eid is an innovation? That's ridiculous, and that way of thinking is void of common sense, quite frankly. Scholar" or not.
Proportionately those who hold the prohibition of Christmas are more than those who would hold that a husband and wife taking a special time together to celebrate their love for each other on Valentines Day. I personally don't see anything wrong with it. Much of the justification of the prohibition is related to ignorance of the west and having a clash of the civilizations political mindset. A true Mufti should understand who their making a fatwa for and what the fatwa is about before they rush to condemn. I mean many of them support and are loyal to their kingdom while recognizing the many unIslamic aspects and flaws related to it. Right???
We have two Eids, read the narration. For muslms to fall for the propaganda and marketing ploy of the west and follow/celebrate the holidays which they have imposed onto our minds with the media is quite sad. Love your spouses all year round and you wont have to show them love one day a year. Take your spouses out and treat them in a romantic manner all year and then when valentines day comes around it wont mean much.
The muslims are having an Identity crisis and now we are willing to cling to practices of other cultures and religions in order to fill the void of ignorance which shrouds many.
May Allah safeguard us from being unhappy with that which was presented to us by Allah and His Messenger
Beautiful post,masha Allah.Salam to all
I love this post. Allah is Al-Wadud and loving Him most helps us to love everyone else right. As for valentine day, I think it does more harm than good so we must try hard not to make it a part of us. Jazaakumul Laahu khairan
This is to assume though that Muslims all have a trusting, healthy relationship with their parents. Some of us come from broken homes where we cannot confide in our parents about such things. What are we supposed to do then? I really would like to see more insight from our community in dealing with such matters when our family situations are less than ideal.
To this author, thanks for bringing up this article. It definitely merites some discussions. I find this subject like many others very interesting. To me it is no longer a subject of Western practices vs other cultures practices. In modern society (all of them), we are bombarbed from every direction with special day this, special day that; Valentine's day, Mother's day, Father's day, Birthday, Anniversary day along with all the buy one get one free that come with it.
The fact of the matter is whatever you do during these so called special days DOES not demonstrate in any way that you love your Wife, your Mother or your Father. If we truly did as a society, then we would not have all the social problems we currently experience, HIGH DIVORCE RATE, ANXIETY, STRESS, DRUGS, ALCOHOL etc…
As Muslims, We need to listen to Allah and his Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him) teach us what LOVE is, what LOVE means and how to express it.
In islam we should love our wife and family everyday not once in a year islam is a peace not hate ness. Some pepole are ignorent and follow up theires own desire
Its a good article.
However I don't understand; How is a muslim girl supposed find a spouse when
1.her parents don't get on with each other; constantly verbally argue, constant taunting each other about rubbish thats happend in the past, not forgiving towards each other, complete shambles of a marriage and they use us kids to constantly jab at each other
2. they have kept their daughter practically unknown to relatives so she now feels almost alien to her own extended family or even ethnic community; no body knows she exists therefore few proposals come forward.. I could walk down the street and not even recognise my own rello's because Ive never seen half of them?!!!
3. Neither parent actively searches for a spouse for their daughter; somehow they think that prince charming will come on his own,
4. the parents perception of 'the perfect spouse' does not exist- they actually expect him to be perfect. For eg my sister wants to marry someone who comes from a muslim family, who is from the same ethnicity, qualified professional who can provide a separate whole house and can provide for her welfare and is religious … my parents reject him on the basis of his skin colour?!!!! he's too dark apparently.. can someone tell me why Allah established such a rule that a girl has to have the permission of her Wali for marriage when he knew there would be people like this who would oppress their daughters by not allowing healthy marriage?! its baffling and frustrating! what does Allah expect is going to happen when he allows authority over the innocent by a tyrannical people.. fitnah happens for a reason.
5. When asked for other reasons apart from 'dark skin' my Mother simply states that maybe the boys parents are too traditional and she doesnt want my sister to suffer like she did with her inlaws… NEWS FLASH ALL WOMEN ARE SUBJECT TO TRIALS FROM THEIR INLAWS ….
6. My mother keeps reliving her past bad experiences with people in general and now out of fear of loosing her kids she wont let her daughters get married by firstly not looking for proposals, secondly telling people shes looking for someone whos practically 7ft tall with yellow hair and purple eyes and oh lets not forget thirdly when proposals do come she doesnt even want to give them a chance let alone do istikhara.
7. My dad has always been hell bent on marrying us off to cousins from India so it benefits him if we stay single because at present we are 26-27 years of age, he reckons we'll cave by the time we hit 30.. I dont think so Dad.
8. Parents have seen countless hours of lectures on Peace tv etc but do not WANT to put it into practice… yes the whole house prays, fasts etc but actually coming to terms with what has gone wrong over the years in bringing up their kids.. all just gets shoved under the carpet..
9.The eldest daughter got married to a complete twit as well so now that has instilled more fear into my mum and now the whole fam live under a crazed dillusion that all Men are liars and ultimately your married life will be crap..
10. this list goes on…
Point is Allah says he will not change the state of a people unless they themselves change.. well why should the children have to pay the penalty of their parents not wanting to change … its not fair. they had their chance of marriage, and they messed it up..
Whats ironic is that I had to fall in love with a Man, I had to engage in fitnah(not sexual, just friendship which could have gone further) after years and years AND YEARS of abstaining from Men, to understand that marriage is without doubt the best course for me to be happy but I cant have that because I have messed up parents.. Its hilarious that I had to learn through sinning that not all Men are corrupt… and so I gave that Man up for the love of a God who may not change my overall state because my parents wont change them selves..
What a vicious cycle.
Tell me what are we supposed to do?
Subhana'allah. Sounds like you've been through a great deal of trouble. I can imagine that you are beyond frustrated at this point, and that's normal. Do not doubt in the greatness and power of Allah. There's no force that can overwrite Allah's decree. Whatever has happened, was what Allah has decreed for you. As a part of being a Muslim you must submit wholeheartedly to Allah, and accept what he has decreed for you. So do not despair, Allah is always in a state of knowledge, surely he knows your condition. If your parents aren't sensible in chosing a spouse according to the quran &sunnah, then a just relative can substitute such as an uncle. If your father refuses you a perfectly good spouse as described in the sunnah then he is at fault. No matter how irrational your parents can get they are still your parents. They have haq over you. The best thing to do is pray and make lots of dua to Allah and have patience. And Allah knows best

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

10 Years After…
Second, it doubles as a meeting and special events building that's rented out for weddings, parties, corporate events and meetings. Scott says that it has become the place in West Des Moines to hold a wedding reception.
Finally, it provides an anchor for park-goers, with indoor restrooms and a staff member on hand to assist them.
"It helps offset the cost of running the nature lodge, and is probably our number-one public relations benefit. People go to the building, fall in love with it, and fall in love with the park by extension," says Scott.
"We wanted a building the community would love to come to, so the architect put a lot of extra detail in the building. We had a private foundation raise over $100,000 to add some nicer finishing touches to it."
The soccer fields, which lie on the opposite end of the park from the softball fields, are run by a private organization. The parks and recreation department provides minimum maintenance, like weekly mowing and daily restroom cleaning.
"They do all the field improvements, so if they want to install irrigation, for example, that's up to them. The youth leagues have built their facilities from the ground up, and run the recreation end of the organization," says Scott.
"If they want a higher level of maintenance they either contract with us, use a private contractor acceptable to us, or do it themselves."
On the Horizon
The beachfront at the 250-acre Blue Heron Lake currently includes restrooms, a parking lot and a boat ramp. Long-range plans include a beach house that will host concessions, non-motorized boat rentals,
shower and changing facilities, administration and an adjacent pier.
Next on the agenda for Raccoon River Park is a unique, custom playground. This large playground will continue the concept of Raccoon River as a destination park.
"Most of our other playgrounds are the typical manufactured aluminum pole/plastic component type. This one will have some of that in it, but we're also constructing a ship structure created according to plans prepared by Brian Clark and Associates, a Des Moines landscape architect firm," says Ortgies.
"We're also going to have a fountain area with water jets that come out of the pavement and overhead water spray. It's an interactive fountain, and we want people, especially children, to come into the fountain."
The current 3.2-mile trail loop at Raccoon River Park will be expanded to connect into the city's trail system to help complete the "destination" aspect of the park.
Ortgies says the packed gravel portion of the trail is on the less-developed back side of the park, while the paved portion is on the more-developed front side.
"It keeps the pace slower, and we've found people appreciate that, because they can enjoy the natural setting without having people passing by at fast speeds," says Ortgies.

The delegate of the Embassy of the State of Israel visits the Special Envoy for Science and Technology
13.03.2014 / 11:38
On 29th November 2013, Petr Kaiser, the Special Envoy for Science and Technology of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, meets with Shahar Shelef, Counsellor of the Embassy of the State of Israel, to discuss actual position of the Czech-Israeli cooperation in R&D; and its potential for the future. Further, the objective of the meeting was to inform Mr Shelef about the seminar "Supporting Innovative Business and International Cooperation" that was organized for representatives of the OECD and BRICS countries in the Czernin Palace on 14th November.
The emphasis was put on the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, which is based on the establishing and fostering contacts and supporting cooperation among governmental, academic and private sector and foreign institutions. Regarding the Czech R&D it is necessary to stress the role of other institutions that are responsible for this area, mainly the Ministry of the Education, Youth and Sports, CzechInvest or Technology Agency of the Czech Republic. Considering the Czech-Israeli scientific cooperation, several projects were mentioned, for example EUREKA CZ or programme Delta of the TACR focusing on countries outside the EU which should start its activity in spring 2014.
The agreement about the mutual Czech-Israeli cooperation has been already signed in 2008, however, both sides agreed on the fact that its implementation is not without problems, particularly due to the different criteria and attitudes on both sides. Yet, there is big potential in the field of the cooperation in R&D. It is, therefore, essential to further enhance this collaboration and find common way how to continue in it.
Mr Shelef affirmed that both Israel and the Czech Republic have a lot to offer and that both countries were good allies, in the politics, as well as economy or science. In the past, several mutual agreements were concluded, that is the reason why the Czech and Israeli side should follow this tradition and further promote mutual cooperation.

Test the hypothesis that PCBs are transferred along the food chain from contaminated algae to zebra mussels to gammarids and ultimately to many edible fish species.
The introduction of the zebra mussel into Lake Erie may result in a radical shift of contaminant distribution in environmental sinks and foodchains. If algae are contaminated with PCBs, zebra mussels may accumulate PCBs or the compounds could be eliminated in concentrated form in feces or pseudofeces. If the latter occurs, organisms such as gammarids which ingest contaminated feces could convey the toxins to fish which prey upon gammarids. Thus, gammarids could be a pivotal point in the foodchain which spread zebra mussels-directed contaminants to many edible fish species.
Partitioning of HCBP into algae will be conducted under static conditions using 1 day old Chlamydomonas cells. A coulter counter will be used to determine cell density and size. Adult zebra mussels (20-25 mm) will be allowed to filter contaminated algae at a density of 140,0090 cells/ml. Exposed mussels will then be put in clean water and fecal material will be collected over 48 hours. The latter will then be offered to adult gammarids. Total HCBP will be assessed at each step in every compartment. Mass balance and assimilation efficiencies will be calculated.
Benefits & Accomplishments
A methodology for exposing zebra mussels to contaminated algae was developed. Assimilation efficiency and contaminant body burden can be quantified using toxicokinetic methodology. The method also permits assessment of uptake from contaminated sediment.

Latest scandal a good reason to abolish the IRSon May 17, 2013 @ 12:55 pm (Updated: 1:35 pm - 5/17/13 )
"The tax man shouldn't be a part of every decision that you make in your life," says columnist Theo Caldwell in an interview with KIRO Radio's Dori Monson Show. "And now I think is the time on a bipartisan basis to have that discussion."
Caldwell, in a widely shared post in The Daily Caller, argues the IRS has far overshot its mission to become the most powerful and feared institution in America.
"Should a nominally free country countenance the harassment of its citizens, at home and abroad, by Mr. or Mrs. Cough-It-Up who, having overcome the unspeakable tragedy of having no given name, nevertheless demands to know everything about you?" he writes.
Caldwell says there's something inherently wrong with a tax system indecipherable to all but the wealthiest people, who make millions by manipulating it.
And he argues the rest of us spend way too much time paying more than our fair share while clinging to measly deductions for charitable giving, our mortgages, and anywhere else we can save a few bucks.
"I think it is untoward, it's unbecoming as a free nation that the tax authority is the arbiter of everything that we do and say."
Instead, he advocates getting rid of the whole tax code and replacing it with a flat tax.
Under his proposal, anyone making over $50,000 would pay 15 percent of their earned income. And if that's too radical for some people to swallow, he suggests two or three rates on a progressive scale instead - something along the lines of 10-20 percent.
"No deductions, no investment or estate taxes, we're done."
That means "no deductions, no investment or estate taxes, we're done," he says.
That also means the break on your home or donation goes away.
"You don't have to worry about making donations or giving this and that based on whether or not the tax man is going to bless that. You want to give money to your church or synagogue, write a check," he tells Dori.
Proposals like Caldwell's have been met in the past with outrage and animosity (just ask Ron Paul.) But he says the latest IRS scandal opens the door for both Republicans and Democrats to come together and finally change the system.
While Caldwell insists he's a long time critic of President Obama and Democrats, his proposal is bipartisan.
"Democrats, Republicans , Libertarians, librarians, I don't care. You've got to be able to get behind the idea of just getting rid of the IRS," says Caldwell. "I'd love to hear from some disinterested party who can tell me that they think it's a good system now and we can't do better. I know we can."

...and no blog updates. I am embarrassed by leaving you all out to dry, but I have had a rough week in my poker life. The rest of my life has been good as usual, so no need to worry.
Anyway, since last post, I had several losing days in a row, culminating Monday with a minus 10 buy-in session bringing me in the red for September. Having a losing month is not something I am used to, so it wore on me a little, and I couldn't really motivate myself to write about it. Yesterday morning I was at the buttom of a 20 buy-in downswing, so thats $12k down the drain.
The last couple of days have been good though, so I am now more than half way up again and feeling better about the whole thing. Like I've mentioned before, how you handle the tough days is really what defines your ability to become a professional poker player. I try to not let it affect my mood. That is not really possible, but at least I try to put it all in perspective and remind myself how little it means, in the long run financially, as well as in terms of what really matters in life. That said, I don't feel like discussing it much when I am in the middle of a bad period. I usually prefer to work on it myself in my own head, and that can be a bit dangerous for my social life. At least it is something I need to be aware of, so people around me don't get the idea I'm pissed off or not caring about them.
Anyway, enough about that. Poker has no memory. All you have to think about is how to play the hand you've been dealt.

Cheery outlook for Richmond commercial market
As sour as the economy has been lately, a panel of executives from four of the region's largest REITs were downright bullish about the outlook for commercial investment in Richmond and other second tier cities.
Buena Vista may lose city hall to repo man
The country's dire financial straits extend beyond homeowners, as one Virginia city's officials are learning. In the go-go days of 2004 and 2005, the city of Buena Vista in the Shenandoah Valley borrowed $9 million to build and refinance a city golf course. On the refinance application, they offered up two public buildings as collateral: the Buena Vista city hall and its police station.
Now, the bills are coming due and the city can't afford to make payments, making it quite possible that the financier, ACA Financial Guaranty Corp., will exercise its right to seize the buildings.
DEVELOPING: DoD seeks spending cuts in VA
Virginia's economy stands to take a heavy blow if Secretary of Defense Robert Gates's proposal to cut the Pentagon's budget goes ahead as planned. And there's little recourse for the Commonwealth's political leaders who are obviously concerned about the proposed cuts: Congress doesn't need to approve them. Here's what's at stake in the Commonwealth.
Builders likely to win sprinkler code battle
On Monday, the directors of the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development are expected to pass revisions to the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code that would include a requirement that all new residential construction in the Commonwealth include a fire extinguisher in or near the kitchen. This provision is likely to be adopted instead of a proposal that would have required sprinklers in all new townhouse construction. According to an article in Leesburg Today, the current code requires that sprinklers be installed in all new townhouses with more than three stories. New single family homes have no sprinkler requirements, according to the article.
Planning begins for future Herndon-Monroe Metro station
Town officials in Herndon are preparing residents and business owners for the new Herndon-Monroe Metro station, which is slated to open in 2016. Plans are afoot to make the area surrounding the coming station more appealing to passengers. Officials would like to see the area transformed into an attractive, walkable urban community.
Homeowners should take advantage of opportunities to be heard during this planning process. If well executed, careful development could make the area surrounding the Metro station pleasant and inviting. Prices of nearby homes could be positively affected.

Officials looking at wind farms for Virginia
Virginia officials are working to lay the groundwork for the state to become a national hub for wind technology. If they are successful, it could mean an estimated $80 billion to the Commonwealth and more than 5,000 long-term jobs.
"We have the potential for not only wind turbines off the coast of Virginia, but for Hampton Roads to become the silicon valley of wind development for the entire east coast," said Bob Matthias, assistant to the Virginia Beach city manager.

Virginia commercial RE posts gains
Virginia Business reports that commercial real estate in the Commonwealth may be headed back in a positive direction according to 2Q figures released by CoStar.
All three of Virginia's major metro areas (Hampton Roads, Richmond, and Washington DC) have vacancy rates below the national average of 17.4% and Northern Virginia has actually seen a drop in its vacancy rate in 2Q, from 16% to 15.6%.
Gov. McDonnell says almost 72K jobs created in six months
Governor Bob McDonnell says that Virginia has seen a net increase of nearly 72,000 jobs since February. Experts say that an improved job market will help lead a general economic recovery and bolster the housing market. It's also positive news for the commercial real estate market.
The net gain in jobs could have a strong impact on homeowners, who are more likely to keep up with their mortgages if they are employed. Sellers looking to market their homes will also benefit from an increase in jobs, as buyers with jobs will be able to qualify for financing.

BREAKING: Fairfax Co. gets Northrop HQ
This just in: Northrop Grumman has purchased 2980 Fairview Park, near the corner of the Beltway and Route 50 in Fairfax County to house its corporate headquarters when it relocates from California. The defense contracting company is expected to bring 300 high-paying executive level jobs to Fairfax, a move courted heavily by Gov. McDonnell.
Earlier, Northrop Grumman announced that it had selected Virginia over Maryland and DC for its corporate offices. Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria were considered the frontrunners to land the mammoth company's headquarters.

myosotisx3It is not done in a day
but rather, it is a habit, a skill that you develop over time: being conscious of what you're saying and what you're conveying, the negativity that you exude.
It is easier to stop whining when you think of all the things you're grateful for. I started listing all the things that make me happy and things I love in my life. It's easier to visualize the positive side of your life this way.
In the end, remember that not everything should feel awesome and great- we do not live in a hedonistic way; we go through hard times in order to have something awesome in the end. :) 14 months ago

The moulding is a floater frame by Roma and the canvas is on regular depth stretcher bars. The moulding has two options for fitting, and the customer wanted the canvas to fit snugly to the inside of the frame (no lip remember). This left about a 1/2" gap between the back of the canvas and the moulding.
I'm not usually a fan of floater frames, but this one looks great. My dilema is . . . how do I attach the canvas and the moulding. The canvas is a very snug fit, but I want to secure it.
On other floaters I have used screw eyes attached to the frame and then a screw through to the stretcher bar. It would take a 1" long screw to use that method here. If I have made my description clear, you will understand that offset clips and mending plates do not apply here. Is it OK to use velcro? [img]graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
