21:42 6th January 2012
Jordan Rhodes hit five goals as Town ran riot in front of the Sky cameras to see off Wycombe by six goals.
The striker had earlier been named npower's December Player of the Month and put his name in the running for the January award with five goals to take his goal tally to 27 for the season.
Oscar Gobern got things running for Town with a header from Gary Roberts' corner. Rhodes then put on a show of clinical finishing which saw him score two goals with his left and three with his right all within ten yards of Nikki Bull's goal.
Lee Novak and Danny Ward were both reintroduced to the starting eleven and grabbed two assists apiece as the Wycombe defence struggled to cope with Town's direct style of play. Lee Clark had asked his men to bounce back - and they did do in style.
Lee Clark made four changes to the side that drew at Meadow Lane on Monday.
Jamie McCombe returned to partner Peter Clarke following his successful loan spell at Preston. In midfield Danny Ward and Tommy Miller replaced Anton Robinson and Danny Cadamarteri and upfront Lee Novak started alongside Jordan Rhodes at the expense of Alan Lee.
The first action of the game saw Jamie McCombe reintroduce himself to the travelling Terriers with two crunching tackles in the centre of the park on Stuart Beavon and Matt Bloomfield.
Lee Clark's men started the game brightly and almost forged an opening when Danny Ward swung in a far post cross which James Tunnicliffe defended well to deny Jordan Rhodes a shooting opportunity. Within a minute of Rhodes' chance Wycombe had their first shot on goal when Stuart Beavon forced Ian Bennett into a comfortable low save.
With ten minutes played Lee Novak forced Nikki Bull into an excellent diving save following some good build up play through Town's midfield.
GOAL - From the resulting corner Oscar Gobern opened Town's account with a well directed header from Gary Roberts' corner. The big central midfielder got in front of his marker and despite the Wycombe defender's best efforts on the line; he couldn't prevent the powerful header from hitting the back of the net.
Ward almost doubled Town's tally a minute later, but his diving header went well wide of Bull's goal.
Marcello Trotta had scored six in six since for the home side since his loan move from Fulham and he showed his quality in the 15th minute when he cut inside Gary Naysmith and fired a powerful low effort straight down Bennett's throat.
GOAL - Jordan Rhodes scored his 23rd goal of the season to cap a fine move involving neat play from Novak and Hunt in the 19th minute. It was the latter of those two who delivered the ball from the right which Rhodes attacked ahead of Tunnicliffe to power home from close range.
Town should have made it three in the 24th minute when Novak flicked the ball into the path for Roberts who raced through on goal. The left-winger steadied himself before chipping the ball just over Bull's bar.
GOAL - Town did make it three in the 26th minute when Jordan Rhodes grabbed his second of the night courtesy of Novak's over the top through ball. The Scottish international left both centre-backs for dead before knocking Grant Basey off the ball and then sliding the ball past a hapless Bull in the Wycombe goal.
The home side looked lost for words as Town continued their siege on Bull's goal. Every time Town attacked they looked like scoring and Jamie McCombe should have done in the 32nd minute when he headed over Roberts' cross from four yards.
Next to test Bull was Roberts, who attempted to curl one from the right hand side, but Wycombe's stopper showed good agility to claw the ball away.
GOAL - Town started the second half well and inside five minutes Jordan Rhodes had wrapped up his hat trick - thanks in part to referee Tanner. Town were striding forward with Miller who saw his forward pass blocked by Steve Tanner. Luckily for Town, the rebound fell to Novak who slid in Rhodes who tapped the ball into an empty net after seeing his first effort well saved by Bull. Rhodes' strike was his 25th of the season and sealed his fifth hat trick of the season.
SUB - In the build up to the goal Leon Johnson suffered an injury and was replaced by Marvin McCoy. Gary Waddock's enforced change saw Foster drop into centre back and McCoy into the right-back berth.
GOAL - The Wycombe defence were looking at sixes and sevens at the start of the second half and fell five goals behind when Jordan Rhodes slotted home his fourth in the 58th minute. Danny Ward had impressed following his reintroduction to the eleven and showed excellent feet to skip past Anthony McNamee and Basey before firing a hard effort at goal. Bull showed quick reactions to parry the winger's shot, but pushed the ball to the man in form, who tapped home with aplomb.
SUBS - Waddock made his final two changes in the 64th minute with Gareth Ainsworth and John Halls entering the fray at the expense of Anthony McNamee and Marcello Trotta.
GOAL - There was no let up for the Wycombe defence as Town continued their assault on Bull's goal and made it six when Rhodes scored his fifth of the night in the 69th minute. Good play between the Terriers wingers Roberts and Ward released the latter who fired across a low ball which Rhodes turned home with his left under immense pressure from Tunnicliffe.
SUB - Lee Clark made his first substitution of the game in the 75th minute replacing Gary Roberts with Danny Cadamarteri. Clark's switch saw Ward come on to the left flank and 'Cads' out on to the right.
BOOKING - Referee Tanner issued his first caution of the game in the 78th minute following Halls heavy challenge on Cadamarteri.
Stuart Beavon had arguably been the home side's best player on the night and tried to pull a goal back for his side with ten minutes to go, but his left-footed effort landed in the side netting. The striker almost had better luck a minute later when he shrugged Clarke off the ball but saw his volley curl away from Bennett's right upright.
Gareth Ainsworth then went close for the home side when his intended cross looped over Bennett and rattled the post before Clarke cleared the danger.
SUB - Clark made his second change of the night two minutes from time replacing Danny Ward with Tom Clarke. Clarke went into the right-back spot; allowing Hunt to move to right midfield.
Town's team (4-4-2):
Ian Bennett; Gary Naysmith, Peter Clarke (c), Jamie McCombe, Jack Hunt; Gary Roberts (Danny Cadamarteri 75), Oscar Gobern, Tommy Miller, Danny Ward (Tom Clarke 89); Lee Novak, Jordan Rhodes

Chapter 1
Chapter 1
It was all over the news….he was missing….my best friend.
I couldn't save him….
I couldn't save the one I love the most…..he was literally my entire world…..
That was day before my birthday.
My name is Marylynn Louis. Most people just call me Mae. And this is my story of the Beginning. The beginning of what would be the adventure of a life time, literally. It was my junior year of college and things were finally starting to settle. You know, getting the college follow to start actually settling in. I recently got engaged to my best friend in the entire world. His name is David Williams. David was also a junior in college. We have known each other since we were young. At least that is what I am told. David and I share this common thing where we don't remember anything from when we were twelve years or younger. Another thing we have in common is that we are both adopted. So how, David and I were both found on the same night in the middle of a park passed out. We didn't know who each other was or now we even got there. When the people found us, there was a huge thunderstorm that was not like a normal storm. At least that is what people have told me. The storm was so violent and so out of the ordinary that nothing seemed right about finding us there out in the open. I remember waking up to see David right there next to me. I wanted to help him so I got up and went to him and asked if he was alright. I knew back then that I knew him from somewhere but couldn't put my finger on it. But it doesn't really matter since we have been best friends ever since. But anyway, we had been dating for about three years. It took us a while to realize that he and I actually liked each other.
It was when I was twelve years old when I met Danielle Michaels. She liked being called Danni. Anyway, she is one of those friends that you never want to lose for the whole world. Danni would do anything for everyone and she would listen to people as well. She is such an amazing friend. She cares for others and has the kindest heart. She knows when to say no and when to say yes. She knows right from wrong and will definitely tell you that you are doing this wrong or right. She knows how to put you in line. She and David were the greatest things in my life and still are. I couldn't live without them in my life. Little did I know that Danni and David where planning on how David was going to propose to me.
I remember the night he proposed to me. It was the perfect night, it was just starting to snow and we walking around the lake looking at Christmas lights. When we got to where we started, all of sudden at his car was present. He said it was for me. It looked like a normal present in box. So I started opening it and I found boxes with boxes until I found the small that contained the ring. I turned to him and saw that he got down on one knee and said "Mae, you are more than just my girlfriend, you are my best friend and there is no one who I trust and love more than anyone. Would you do the honor and marry me?"
I was literally in shock and tears started streaming down my face. When I finally said yes and got the ring on my finger. All of our friends came out from behind the trees and surprised me. David set it all up so that it would a night that I could never forget. I was the happiest women in the world.
My birthday was coming up on January 21. I was so excited because I am turning twenty-one years! My girl-friend, Danielle, was telling me that she and David had a huge thing planned. But they wouldn't tell me what it was! Knowing them they had this huge party planned and everything. All Danni told was to be at this certain place at this certain time. But all that seemed to disappear after David disappeared…..
It was the day before my birthday and David wanted to take me on a date as my birthday dinner, more like Birthday day of just me and him. I even bought a new outfit for this special day we were spending together. I bought these dress pants that were black and a red blouse that was silk and high heels that were black and red to match my outfit. It felt like the perfect outfit to wear. David had everything planned. He took me to my favorite restaurant. He even had the whole place sing to me. It was one of the best dinners I have ever had. We then went to the park and walked with hands held together. We went by the pond that a few ducks in it. We stopped in front of the water and just talked for a while. I always loved our talks. We always had something to say. Sometimes we would even try to remember things from before we were twelve. It was hard but fun at the same time. Once he had a flashback of us going through this portal or like a flashing rainbow. At least that is how he described it.
Back when I was little, I would have these dreams of David and I was in an entirely different world. Like, when we were in this forest that was not like the typical forest that we usually see. This forest was full of red tree trunks. The leaves would change color to someone's mood that was near them. And the sky was so blue that I couldn't if it was the ocean or just the sky. The weather was warm and welcoming but suddenly turned into a freezing cold when these dark shadows came along. When I woke up from this dream, I was freezing like I was actually there in that world. But I never told anyone about it and soon forgot about it.
As David and I were talking about our past all of sudden the ground started to shake. The ground was shaking so violently that we were knocked down onto our feet. We didn't know what was going on or what to do. Everyone else around us didn't seem to notice. As if we were in a bubble or some force field or something. David and I were so confused on what was happening. Then out of nowhere a huge gapping whole open up underneath David!! He started falling in and I grabbed both of hands hoping to pull him up in time. The hole was getting bigger and bigger. We looked into each other's eyes and saw a fear that we have never seen in each other before. All the air was starting to go down in the hole, pulling David in further and further. "Mae, you have to let me go or it will take you too…" David said.
"NO! I can't lose you…" I said.
David looked in to my eyes and said "I love my Mae, and I will find you. Nothing can keep me away from you."
"I love you too David. Please don't…" I knew he was about to let go so that he could save me from falling into the hole. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I tried so hard to pull him up. He leaned into me and kissed my lips with such passion. He whispered to me that he loved me very much and promised to find me. "David please, please don't…" before I could finish, he let go…I tried to grab him again. But…it was too late…..I couldn't save him….the hole in the ground was still there and ground was still shaking.
I was crying so hard that I couldn't move but something unexpected happen, my hands were glowing and building some kind of force. I stood up and held my hands up. When I held my hand up the glow got brighter. It was glow that was full of so many colors. I had this feeling of known that I knew what this was. I knew somewhere in my heart that I had use this kind of power before. In the back of my mind, I thought that this would bring David back. When I lifted my hands the glow burst from my hands, I knew something was going to happen but then the hole closed. The hole that took David away was closed.
I was in shock and didn't know what to do. I had lost the only way to get David back…..Danni came and found me still at the park where the whole showed up and I told her everything and she took me home. When she found me, I was on my knees with my hands still in the same position that they were when I closed the hole. I hadn't moved at all for what seemed like forever. Danni was so worried so she took me home and asked me what happened. I told her exactly what had happened. At first she seemed like she didn't believe but luckily she is very open minded.
Danni stayed with me all night. She tried everything to cheer me up. Nothing seemed to work. We didn't go to class that next day. I literally was in bed on my twenty-first birthday. While I was laying bed, I noticed something on my left hand. A symbol, one that was not there before, I couldn't quite tell what it was. It was some kind a design like in a different language, a language that was not from this world even. I showed it to Danni but she didn't know what to think of it. The symbol seemed to keep getting bigger and bigger every hour. But I forgot about it after a while. It was midnight when I finally got up and walked around a little bit. I felt a little sick so I thought it was because I haven't eaten all day so I went to the kitchen. Danielle was asleep on my bed. After eating a little bit I felt a little better. I got a major headache all of sudden. I decided that I should just go to bed to sleep off the headache. It didn't take long to fall asleep.
But this sleep was not a normal sleep. I was having those dreams that I use to have when I was a kid. In this dream, it was like a cave. IN the cave there were these crystals, that glow like a blue and orange, making the cave seem like a cold warm feeling at the same time. These are what made the cave light up. When I touched the blue crystal, it was really warm but not warm enough to burn me. The orange crystal was freezing cold. I knew that this cave was not like the rest that you normally see on earth. It also felt as if I was seeing someone else's vision. It didn't feel like me who was walking around. Anyway, as this person was walking down the cave, you could tell that they were hurt. I felt the pain as they were walking along. You know that they had been in a fight or have fallen from a really high place. Not sure where they fell through. But they kept going on. They came across this small pond; this pond was not a light green color. This person in my dream was really thirty but was very indifferent on if they should drink from the pond or not. But they ended up drinking from it anyway. There was a sound that came from the left side and shadows on the cave walls where getting closer and closer. Fear began to sneak up on me or this person so "we" made a run for it. The people or things were getting closer and closer. With the injured leg of ours, it was hard to run. We a whole bunch of crystals that we could hide in. It felt like an eternity before the shadows appeared again. But before I could find out what these strange creatures of people were, I woke up sweating and breathing really hard. Danni was the one who woke me. She heard me breathing hard and was making sure I was okay. When I woke up I felt this huge pain in my leg, just like the person in my dream was feeling. When I looked at my leg there was a huge bruise. "What happen Mae?" asked Danni.
"In the dream I was having, I or some other person got hurt in their leg. Not sure how they did but I could feel the same pain they were feeling as if I was actually there…" I said. All of sudden outside the window of my room, a thunderstorm started.
"Weird, there wasn't supposed to be a storm tonight…"Danni said. This storm was getting kind of violent. Never have we seen this bad of a storm before. Where we live, not many storms like this appear. We live in California, where there are mostly earthquakes. But this storm felt different from the ones in the past. It was like it was bringing someone or something that didn't belong to this world. This storm was a lot like the one that David and I were found in. Something was about to happen and I knew it. I think Danni felt the same way. BOOM! A lightning bolt struck down right in front of my house. Thankfully nothing was set on fire but you could definitely tell that it hit hard. The ground was black and had smoke coming from it. More and more lightning bolts keep hitting the ground. You could see our neighbors were getting worried if this storm would ever stop. We were all watching from our windows.
During the night, it felt like someone was watching Danielle and I. Turns out there really was someone who was watching us…..

Through Smudged Lenses
"I think you did something to me, something that allowed me to Dive in a new way but to be able to, I needed experience, I needed to be more connected to people."
"Gabriella pointed it out. I'm missing something, some part of myself. It far off, still connected, but without it I'm lacking something. Maybe that's what let me do the Dive that brought me here, somehow. You knew that unless I was stronger Aetherically I'd never be able to do it, that why you stopped me controlling my emotions, I can to connect to people, I had to live and I'm guessing that effected by Aetheric self."
"Very good, very entertaining."
"And then you pushed me, made me break, made me cross a line a hadn't crossed before and I ended up here somehow. What did I do, how did I get here? I saw things Triad, things I can't even begin to understand. What was that?"
There was a sigh and Gabriella was suddenly dropped to the floor slowly with a sloppy sucking noise as the tendrils disengaged, leaving her laying unconscious in a pool of fluids. A Neutral came, picked her up and took her away. Michael got up to leave.
"Wait. I'mnot finished with you yet Michael. That's an interesting theory. You're wrong in places, missing other parts and I'm afraid it would spoil things if I just told you. However, I will tell you some things. Like how you got here for example."
Michael tensed, readying himself for the answer.
"You stepped through the Aether. The force of your will and your other... unique talents... allowed you to collapse your physical self through the Aether. Your Technomancer scientists, they've taught you the Aether is just another higher dimensional space, yes? That's true in part. You translated yourself through that higher geometry and brought you and your companions here, but it raw, uncontrolled. You aren't ready to use it, not yet. You're learning though."
"And what I saw?"
"Well, you saw what some, especially demons, call the Demon Machine."
"Demon machine? You told be about that earlier, when we met."
"Did I really?" Triad said, a deep sense of surprise, intrigue and amusement in it's voice. "That's most interesting, and what did I say?"
"What are you, senile now?"
"It doesn't matter." Triad said dismissively. "As I was saying, you saw Johnathan Tetherson."
"What? You are senile! Doctor Tetherson died years ago!"
"Not quite. The Demon Machine and Tetherson are one and the same. His bomb didn't work quite as planned. It didn't just explode, in the Aether it imploded and in the Aether nothing is destroyed. What do you think happens when elements are forced together and have no way of being destroyed or converted into energy?"
"Fusion." Michael said, realising the implications of what Triad was saying. "Tetherson's alive, and a demon."
"And what's left of the Lunar AI."
"Three beings. Another Triad."
"Another Triad, though this one on the other side of the veil, this one trapped purely in the Aether. He remembers though and he wants back in."
"You aren't going to let him though."
"Of course not! I exist for a purpose and I fulfil it to the fullest of my abilities."
"And the other thing I saw?"
"Oh that? When Gabriella passed through the Aether, the demon was torn from her. It would certainly explain why she is unaffected by it's possession. Aetheric things tend to get drawn to the Aetheric and nothign is more Aetheric than the Aether itself."
Michael pondered this.
"But how did I do this? How is it even possible?"
"I don't know. Thats something you will have to discover for yourself. I knew you had the potential for such a thing and I've been grooming you for it."
Michael glared at the fleshy lump hanging from the ceiling.
"Oh stop it Michael, don't be a child."
A Neutral came in and addressed Michael. "Gabriella is awake now and would like to see you."
Michael got up and followed the Neutral. As he left he spoke out loud, directing his words at Triad. "This isn't over Triad. I'm not some toy for you to play with, you're going to tell me everything."
Triad offered no reply.
* * * * *
"They did what?!"
"We had some major activity about a hundred miles south of the university. Possessed crawling out of the wood work, seemed to me there was something important going down."
Arthur thought about it, it didn't make any sense. Why expose themselves out in the middle of nowhere?
"How did we get info on it? We have an agent in one of their cells?"
"Yes, well, we did. Got herself caught and it wasn't pretty. At least she died for a reason. With the people on the lookout after the incident at the university we already had people in the area. managed to round ourselves up a nice bunch of uglies."
"But what were they doing out there?"
"Whatever it was, it was something else. We found a car, a hole ripped out of it like something had taken a huge bite out of it. It was burnt to a crisp too. So far we aint had much in the way of cooperation. You want to come in on this?"
"No, I told you I wanted out. I just freelance occasionally to keep myself sweet."
"Sure you do, cause people like us quit everyday."
Arthur snorted. "Fine. I'll be there soon." He said, then hung up.
What are you getting yourself into Michael? Things are getting weirder and weirder by the second.

Who, me? No, I don't own the Teen Titans...
Raven awoke as the light from the rising sun hit her pale face. She strained to open her eyes, and was momentarily confused as to why she no longer had a ceiling. Blinking slowly and attempting to sit up, she realized something was holding her down. Panic washed over her as she whipped her head to the side, only to be greeted by the sleeping face of her teammate. The events of last night soon came rushing back, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Beast Boy, wake up," she whispered to the changeling, shaking him gently. The boy stirred, but remained asleep. She rolled her eyes and hesitantly pried his arm from around her waist. When she was finally free, she sat up, only to groan in pain as her back popped loudly. "Never again," she mumbled to herself, looking down at the yoga mat she had fallen asleep on.
The pale girl bit her lip as she sat there, trying to recall what they had been talking about before sleep had claimed them. She remembered the kiss, that amazing kiss; their first official kiss- one that wasn't caused by intoxication or rash decisions. No, that kiss was perfect.
She also remembered that the green boy had called her beautiful. That was also amazing. She smiled to herself; though she knew he had said some other really great things, beautiful was definitely what stuck with her.
Then she remembered speculating on what was happening below them at the party; Beast Boy was certain that Cyborg and Bumble Bee would hook up, though Raven felt that they had a totally platonic relationship.
"They're really good friends; that would never happen," she recalled saying, earning a snort of amusement from the changeling.
"We're pretty close, too," he had teased, causing the empath to blush.
She felt herself smirking as she glanced over at her green boyfriend. Boyfriend... she mused to herself. I have a boyfriend... I'm sure I can get use to this.
"Beast Boy," she repeated, shaking the shape-shifter roughly. "Wake up."
"Five more minutes," he mumbled, rolling over.
Raven found herself sighing in amusement as she stood up, grateful that she had refrained from drinking last night. Who knows what could have happened? she thought with a cringe.
"I'm going to leave you up here," she threatened halfheartedly, earning no response.
She rolled her eyes again, letting herself be consumed by her dark energy as she phased through the floor.
Immediately the empath was greeted by a foul smell as she stood before the common room doors. Cautiously she opened them, only to see the room in utter chaos.
All the decorations had been torn down, and the pinata was lying in the middle of the room, massacred past the point of recognition. As her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she realized the birthday boy was laying face-down in a pile of candy, and beside him, a messy-haired heroine, who she assumed to be Bumble Bee.
"What the hell happened?" the half-demon whispered to herself.
"There was a party," a calm voice answered from the kitchen, causing the purple-haired girl to jump in surprise. "Sorry, babe- didn't mean to scare you."
Raven squinted as she started to make out the shape of Speedy, who was casually leaning against the counter, drinking a cup of what she assumed to be coffee. "You seem to be well."
The archer snorted in amusement as he sipped his drink. "This wasn't my first rodeo, sweetheart."
The empath rolled her eyes in exasperation as she made her way to the kitchen. "You can call me Raven," she deadpanned as she began filling her kettle with water. "And I seem to recall more people were here last night," she started, looking around the room. "Where is everyone?"
"Wally's in the bathroom," a new voice answered. Raven turned around and was greeted by the sight of Jinx. "Poor guy can't hold his liquor," she smirked with mock-sincerity.
"What a shame," the pale girl replied as she reached for her tea.
"Actually, it seems like nobody could- pretty sure I heard bird boy dry-heaving on my way in here," the pink-haired girl mused as she poured herself a cup of coffee.
"So did everyone get completely wasted last night?"
"Nah," the archer yawned. "Jericho left with Kole and Gnarrk after an hour, and I'm pretty sure Wonder Girl and Argent took off not long after."
"Aqualad was looking for your guys' pool last time I saw him," Jinx added with a smirk.
"We don't have a pool..." Raven stated in confusion.
The former-villain shrugged nonchalantly. "Then I have no idea where he is."
"Probably in a bathtub somewhere- he always does something like that when he's drunk," Speedy smirked. "He's my little fishy."
"You guys didn't seem like you were very chummy last night," the empath pointed out dryly as she removed her kettle before it whistled.
"Well, right after you left we started making out."
Raven almost spilled her water in shock while Jinx choked on her coffee. "What?!" they exclaimed in unison.
Speedy tried to hold back his laughter, but was failing miserably. "I'm kidding! Oh man, you guys are too easy."
The pink-haired girl joined his merriment. "Haha, oh my god, I was gonna say that I totally would have remembered something like that happening!"
The archer raised his brows in amusement. "Nah, I don't think you would have; you seemed a little too preoccupied with getting puked on."
"Ugh, don't remind me!" the girl groaned. "That was one of my favorite shirts, too!"
Raven gave the former-villain a quizzical look, before realizing something. "Is that my shirt?" she asked incredulously, gesturing to the girl's outfit.
Jinx's face was consumed by a smug smile. "Yeah- it's really cute, too. It's a shame you're always hiding under cloaks and hoodies."
"It really is," the older hero agreed coyly.
The empath ignored the archer as she glared at the pink-haired girl. "You went into my room?"
"Duh," the girl yawned as she took another drink of her coffee. "Did you expect me to walk around covered in puke?"
"What's wrong with Starfire's clothes?"
"Uhm, hello," the pink-haired girl scoffed. "I wouldn't be caught dead in neons."
The pale girl sighed in understanding. "Whatever; just make sure I get it back."
"Sure thing," Jinx smiled sweetly, twirling a piece of her bubblegum-colored hair.
Suddenly the common room doors opened as a very tired-looking alien dragged herself in. "Friends..." she sighed as she entered the kitchen. "I am unwell."
Speedy smirked as the redhead leaned her forehead against the freezer. "I thought you prepared yourself, doll face."
Starfire waved him away with her hand. "It seems I was over-confident in my abilities to withstand the effects of the drunk."
Raven gave the orange girl a sympathetic smile. "Did you and Robin talk?" she asked tentatively.
Immediately the alien's face lit up in excitement. "Yes, we did... Boyfriend Robin had a lot to tell me..."
Hearing this, Speedy huffed playfully, while Raven smiled, genuinely happy for her friend. "That's great, Star-"
"OH MY GOD!" Jinx exclaimed as she rushed over to the orange girl. "You and bird boy finally got together?!"
Starfire regarded the pink-haired girl quizzically. "Yes..?"
The former-villain grinned as she shook the alien. "Now you guys can double date with Wally and I!"
At this, a fearful look passed over the redhead's face. "Oh!" she squeaked with a forced smile. "How... glorious!"
Jinx continued to hop in excitement. "This is so amazing- you don't know how long I've waited for another super-couple! What should we do?"
"How about y'all keep it down," a groggy voice answered from the floor.
The four titans turned their attention to the half-robot who was attempting to sit up. "Take it easy there, bro," Speedy smirked.
Cyborg was halfway up before a wave of nausea hit. "Oooh, baaad idea," he moaned as he laid back down. "Can someone get me some aspirin?"
"Ditto..." Bumble Bee agreed as she sat up and leaned against the back of the couch, holding her head in her hands. "Oh, boy... what a night."
"Tell me about it," the robotic titan mumbled into the floor.
Raven watched as Starfire searched the cabinet for the pills. "I am most sorry for inflicting the sickness of the alcohol," she whispered shyly.
"No, don't be sorry, Star; everyone's hangover is different," the Titans East leader insisted as she stood up from the floor. "Alright, Sparky, time to get up!"
Cyborg groaned in protest as the smaller titan somehow managed to help him to his feet. "Thanks, Bee..."
The black-haired girl smiled shyly in response. Maybe Beast Boy was right? Raven thought to herself in mild amusement.
"Oh!" she exclaimed out loud when she remembered the changeling.
Her outburst earned bemused looks from the archer and former-villain. "You okay, Rae-Rae?" Jinx teased halfheartedly.
"Yeah, sorry; I just remembered Beast Boy is still on the roof," the empath admitted nonchalantly.
"BB passed out on the roof? How'd he find his way up there?" Cyborg asked as he sat down at the kitchen table.
Raven rolled her eyes fondly. "He didn't pass out; he didn't even drink last night."
"What?!" the half-robot exclaimed, causing Bumble Bee to glare at him. "The grass stain didn't drink? What the hell was he doing?"
At this, Raven instantly blushed a bright red color. "We needed to talk about... something."
"Did you drink, girly?" the Titans East leader questioned.
"N-no... Like I said, we needed to talk, and it wasn't something we could do while hammered. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go wake him up." And in a flash of dark energy, the empath disappeared from the kitchen and reappeared on the roof.
She breathed in the fresh air, thankful she was no longer cooped up in the smelly common room.
"Morning, Rae," the changeling smiled as he sat up from the yoga mat. "You look radiant."
"Radiant?" the purple-haired girl repeated, arching a brow. "Have you been consulting a dictionary while I was gone?"
Beast Boy smile sheepishly as he stood up and sauntered towards the empath. "Can't a guy compliment his girlfriend?" he teased, lacing his arm over her shoulders.
A pink hue returned to the pale girl's face as she resisted the habit of shrugging the boy's arm off. "I'm just surprised you've expanded your vocabulary."
The shape-shifter grinned, his fang poking out. "So, is everyone alive downstairs?"
"Everyone who's still here," Raven replied dryly. "Wonder Girl, Argent, Gnarrk, Kole, and Jericho left last night, and I'm not sure what happened to Hotspot and Herald."
"And the Titans East?"
"Speedy's been up for a while, and Jinx saw Aqualad last night. Oh, and Bumble Bee just got up," the half-demon replied, before looking away from the changeling. "And, uhm, you might have been right about her and Cyborg..." she admitted sheepishly.
"I knew it!" Beast Boy laughed in triumph. "They totally hooked up, didn't they?"
Raven playfully glared at the green boy. "I didn't say that," she clarified. "Although Robin finally manned-up and asked Starfire out- though I can't be certain he'll remember that..."
The changeling snorted in amusement. "For his sake, he better remember- otherwise Starfire might actually kill him."
"I wouldn't put it past her..."
The two titans fell into a comfortable silence as they gazed across the bay at the city.
Raven tentatively leaned her head against Beast Boy's shoulder, which caused him to smile as he pulled her closer. I can get use to this... he sighed to himself.
The pale girl suddenly broke the silence. "You know, since you're my boyfriend now, I get free rein to all of your hoodies," she teased lightly.
Beast Boy rolled his eyes fondly. "Yeah, well, since you're my girlfriend now, I get to do this," he began as he quickly turned her to face him.
Raven stared at him bewildered, before he gently pressed his lips against hers.
Yeah... they thought in unison, smiling through their second official kiss. I can definitely get use to this.
*Sighhhh* Ohhhh, the fluff!
So this story is over... and it's very bittersweet... and I'm not sure what to do with myself anymore!
Should I make a sequel? Should I make a new get-together story (possibly AU)? Should I stick to one-shots? Should I just quit? Let me know what you guys want!

Kingdom Hearts II
I Don't Feel Enough For You to Cry
By LuckyLadybug
Notes: The characters are not mine,
and this story is. It's going to be more than one chapter, but
probably not very long overall. It's more a character study than
anything. And the whole thing was inspired by the song Room of
Angel from the Silent Hill 4 soundtrack, particularly the
chorus. Also, this follows my Kingdom Hearts ideas, but only The Darkness Will Rise From the Deep really needs to have been read to understand this.
Chapter One
I've been looking for you again.
You always seem to disappear when I'm trying to find you the most. I don't know why. Maybe just the irony of life, but more likely, it's one more way you're trying to torture me. You get a kick out of doing whatever you can to make that happen.
Today I decided to look around the outskirts of Hollow Bastion and the surrounding area. I've looked before, but for some reason, this time I thought I might actually have some luck. I haven't seen you since our last battle. And I still want some answers about what happened then, even though I know you'll probably never tell me.
The scent of blood was strong once I got to the infamous blue canyons, where we've fought in the past. The red patches were splattered over the ground, and here and there I found dark blue feathers mixed with it. I knew you were there, somewhere, and my thoughts tumbled over each other as I continued to move forward.
Is this blood yours? If you're part of me, and you're hurt, shouldn't I feel it, too? I don't feel it at all, only a numb apathy. Are you alive? Are you dead? Does it really matter to me? It shouldn't.
I ran around a corner, only to have my path blocked by something I'd never seen before today. It looked like a dragon of some kind, vicious and hideous. It was laying on its side, several deep slices in the brownish-gray flesh. Its leathery wings were limp, hanging to the ground, and they also were torn. It looked like the work of a sword. Yours? I wondered.
There were several large, royal blue feathers between its claws, and both the feathers and its talons were bloodstained. This thing had obviously put up a strong fight against whatever, or whoever, it had been battling. I had the feeling that the other party would be in just as bad, or worse, condition.
The creature's face looked like something copied from the gargoyles at the old cathedrals. There were large flaps of skin on its cheekbones and around its half-open mouth. Its sharp teeth were visible too, mostly clenched. Blood was dripping from between them, down its jaw, and to the ground. The red eyes were lifeless and blank. I don't know why, but it seemed haunting in some way. I stayed there for a moment, just looking at it.
It was a weak, pained groan that snapped me back to the present. I looked around for the source, unable to pinpoint it at first. It sounded more human than beast, and I started to walk around the dragon's large form. More feathers were scattered about near its shoulders, in a puddle of blood. I looked up slightly. There was a trail of red across the blue stones. In some places, it was badly smeared and streaked, as if the victim had been dragged and thrown. I gripped tighter at the hilt of my buster sword, glaring at the morbid crimson paint. I've seen a lot of unpleasant things, but mauled bodies are some of the worst.
I walked alongside the trail for several feet. There was a form laying in my path, and I was no longer surprised to realize that it was yours. Amid all the blood, I somehow still recognized what was left of your wings, and your long hair. I stuck the sword into the ground, kneeling down beside you. That's where I still am now.
All three of your wings are out now, but while the largest on your right, and also the lower left one, are both spread flat, the lower right is ragged and curled over itself. I can see it's badly torn and damaged, probably even crushed. Your lower left one seems fine, but the one sprouting from your shoulder is also torn, though not as seriously.
Your chest has also been clawed. Three long, deep slashes are across it, the blood spilling generously over your torso and arms, and to the ground around you. Your right arm is half over your chest, as you grip a wound in your left side.
Your breathing is ragged and pained, and slowing even as I'm watching you. You seem to sense I'm here. You look up at me, your green eyes clouded over and blank. Do you know me at all? Not that I care. But it doesn't seem real, to see you like this. In spite of how I hate you, it doesn't seem right, either. You've been reduced to such a helpless, pathetic thing.
This isn't an illusion this time, meant to test me for whatever reason. You're mortally injured, and there's nothing that can be done about it. It wasn't done by my hand, but it doesn't matter. I'm not sad at the thought of your imminent passing; I'm not happy, either. I feel as blank as your eyes look right now. I wasn't expecting to find you like this, not until I saw the first of the loose feathers a while ago.
I don't know that I even thought something like this could happen to you. Obviously you came out the victor in the battle with that thing, but previously, you always seemed to be unscathed and untouchable. Only in our fights did you ever end up hurt at all. Until now. And even our fights were never like this.
You blink, and something changes in your eyes. They widen ever so slightly, and I get the sense you know now who's with you.
"Sephiroth . . . what happened?"
I'm surprised at myself for speaking. I hadn't intended to. I'd planned to sit in silence, watching the life slipping from your mauled and battered body. But for some reason, my voice found its way out of my mouth, instead.
You grunt, and your lips part slightly. "Isn't it obvious?" you choke out. Blood drips from your mouth as you speak, trailing down your face and onto your neck. "I've never seen anything . . . like that. . . ."
I haven't, either. It's worrisome---though I have to admit, not foremost on my mind right now. "Is it a new threat to Hollow Bastion?" I ask. Not that you'll know the answer, or should be talking anyway. But can you really die? That doesn't seem possible, and yet on the other hand, how could you or anyone ever recover from something like this?
"Probably. . . ." You fall into a coughing fit, the agony obvious on your face. Your left hand flies to your chest, clutching the deep wounds as you choke on the blood in your throat. It doesn't give me any satisfaction, to see you like this. I want to say that I don't feel anything. But my stomach twists in spite of it. It must be because I've never seen such a gruesome sight before now.
"I thought you said you couldn't die, if I don't," I say, looking down at you with what I think is an emotionless expression.
Something flickers in your eyes, as if you feel you've been caught. Then you smirk weakly, in a self-depreciating way. "Maybe I lied," you say.
Now your eyes narrow. "Don't look at me like that. I don't need your pity."
Pity? I don't pity you! I don't feel anything for you. I'm feeling sick, but it has nothing to do with you.
I reach out, carefully pulling back your unbuttoned coat from your chest as your bloodied hand falls again to the hard ground. These tears in your flesh are deeper than I'd even thought at first. There's nothing I can do about them. They're too serious. Maybe a professional healer could still help you, but there's no one around---only me. I could never carry you as far as we would need to go, or even at all. You're bigger than I am, not even including your wings. It would probably hurt you worse if I tried.
You're just watching me now, too weary to speak. You seem to know what I'm thinking, but I can't tell if you're surprised by it. The look in your eyes tells me it's too late, that you're going to die. And I've already known that's true. I can't help you. Not that I really want to. But if I knew a way that I could, I don't know that I'd refuse, even though it's you. I'm not so dishonorable as that.
You look like you want to speak again, but you can't. I can only watch as the recognition in your eyes dims again and then vanishes completely. Your eyelids fall shut wearily, and with finality, and your breathing stops. I'm left with your dead body.
I just sit here for a moment. I'm not sure I even fully understand what's just happened. You're not supposed to be able to die. Then again, that's only what you've said. How can I believe anything when it comes from you? You've always been a liar, even though you tell me you aren't.
I lean down, trying to hear if there's still any hint of breath. I can't make anything out. I place my hand over where your heart should be. I can't feel anything, but then again, what am I doing? Do you even have a heart? If you're part of me, wouldn't that be impossible? Wouldn't you share my own heart?
I don't understand. I don't feel like there's a part of me that's missing, as it seems I would if you were really the physical manifestation of the darkness in my heart. Sometimes you acted like I was the only one who believed that to be true, even though at other times, you said yourself that it was so. I wonder if you were lying again. I'll never know now.
Who were you?
"Well, my stars! What happened here?"
I look up with a start. I wasn't expecting anyone to show up out here, but it's that magician Merlin. He's walking around that dragon, looking both fascinated and bewildered. I guess not even he's seen it around before now. That doesn't boost my confidence any.
He doesn't seem to have noticed me yet. He's too caught up in trying to figure out what the monster is and where it could have come from. I look down at your corpse again, then back up at the old man. "Hey!" I call. I'm not even sure why I am. "Merlin!" Maybe I just don't want to get stuck out here. Merlin could get me back to town quickly.
Now he starts. Blinking, he whirls around and stares at me, then you, as if trying to decide what to make of it. "Cloud!" he exclaims as he runs over, still gaping. "What on earth happened?"
I tell him what I know, which isn't much. All the while, he examines you, seeing the extent of your wounds and checking you for life. I can't tell what he's thinking, but I rarely can. It's weird, though, how he kinda seems like he knows something about you that I don't. I know he's proved that he's smarter than he sometimes acts, but how would he know anything about you? And what is there to know right now? You're dead.
He looks up at me again, and now he looks more serious than he usually does. "This man is still alive," he announces.
What? That's impossible. I saw you die. I checked to see if you were still breathing, and you weren't. You aren't. What's Merlin talking about?
"No one could survive that!" I exclaim, pointing at the worst of your injuries. "All the blood loss, not to mention the shock to his system. . . . I don't even know how long he'd been laying there before I found him!"
Merlin holds up a hand for silence. "There are some people strong enough to even survive furious assaults like this. He may be one of them." He frowns, gazing down at you again. Maybe he's having second thoughts and sees how foolish his words are. But he looks back to me. "Only with a lot of care will he ever have a chance. I could provide him with the doorway to that chance, but the rest would be up to him . . . and you, perhaps. He would need somewhere to stay while trying to recover."
What is he suggesting? I can't keep you at my place. I don't want you there. You cause me enough grief as it is. Why should I even care whether you live or die right now? Part of me wants to just leave you, or to tell Merlin to find someone else. But there really isn't anyone else, is there. No one would take you in. I shouldn't, either. I hate you! I hate everything you've done to me!
. . . I wonder, would you tell me that it's I myself who's brought my grief on myself? You probably would, and then tell me you were telling me the truth if I accused you of lying. And after what happened following our last battle, I honestly don't know what to think about you anymore. I don't know why you were testing me, or why you said that stuff about me having to conquer my darkness myself. You'd probably never tell me, even if you're still alive and you do still pull through.
There's a saying I've heard sometimes. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." I guess that's what's influencing my decision right now. Even so, I'm sure I'm going to regret this later.
I look at Merlin. "Alright." I give a slow nod. He looks pleased.
My fate is sealed. What about yours?
I guess I'm going to find out.

by Riley7302 May 14, 2015
A fucking awesome bad ass motherfucker who blows shit the hell up and likes his European women especially Russians and is totally handsomer than you and women are all over him.
by I am God and Riley is the best October 03, 2011
A chill girl who couldn't care less about what others think about her. She has many friends, but only a few best friends. She can crack a joke and get high grades all at the same time. Her inability to sit still in class proves her athleticism. Her eyes light up at multiple topics and her smile can brighten the day. She is scared of quite a few things, but will always face them to prove someone wrong. She is stubborn like crazy and will fight until she wins. Watching her is like watching a ray of sunshine and being with her is like a breath of fresh air. She is beautiful, but doesn't know it. Seeing her get lost in something is intriguing and she is kind of a nerd. This girl is sassy and won't let anybody tell her that she is any less than what God made her. She exudes confidence and is always kind no matter how much she says she hates everyone, she is lying. She has a big loving heart and will always stand up for what is right. If you find one, hold one her.

Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss) and Christian Markelli (Wes Ramsey) are the two most opposite people in the world. Aaron is a young Elder (or a Mormon missionary) who wants to do his family proud and is quite passionate about his religion and film. Christian is a shallow WeHo waiter/party boy who only looks forward to bedding a new guy every night. After Aaron and three other missionaries move into the apartment across from Christian, his friends bet him $50 that he can't get one of them to jump into the sack, so he instantly latches onto Aaron. There are two problems, though – Christian is falling in love with Aaron and the Mormons are not the biggest fans of the homosexual community. Once Aaron is discovered, the two have to go through trials of regret, loss, perseverance, and forgiveness if they both want to get to the thing that matters to them most: each other.

Does the return of the East Coast Main Line to public ownership prove that the privatisation of the railways was a mistake and ought to be reversed? No, but it does demonstrate that the system of awarding franchises to private train operators needs to be comprehensively overhauled.
At the moment, we have the worst of both worlds. Shareholders and managements of private franchise holders have a licence to reap the profits of running services in the good times, but when economic conditions deteriorate, the costs fall in the lap of taxpayers – moral hazard on rails. And those costs look set to be substantial. The public purse will pay for the running of the line over the coming months, and the rent the Government raises when it re-auctions the franchise is unlikely to match what National Express was paying.
The primary blame for this debacle lies with National Express. The company bid more than it could afford for the franchise in 2007, using unrealistic projections of passenger growth and profit margins. Now it proposes to walk away from its liabilities, which it is able to do since it was running the line through a standalone subsidiary. A company which has broken its contract in such a fashion should be barred from bidding for future franchises. The Government also has a strong case for taking over National Express's other profitable franchises, the Stansted Express and CC. A firm which fails to honour its liabilities in one corner of the network should not be allowed to continue doing business in another.
The new Transport Secretary, Lord Adonis, has played a bad hand as well as he could. He was right to refuse to renegotiate the terms of the East Coast franchise, even though this might have been cheaper than putting the contract up for auction again. This would have been an invitation to other franchise holders, who are also experiencing financial pressure in the downturn, to demand similar renegotiations. Allowing National Express to buy out its contract would have set an equally undesirable precedent.
Despite the yearnings of the rail workers' unions and some backbench Labour MPs, there is no case for resurrecting the inefficient British Rail. There are some patches of bad service and incompetent management, but the railways have generally improved in private hands over the past 15 years. Passenger numbers are at their highest levels since the Second World War and the quality of rolling stock is much higher.
But while public ownership is a dead end, a franchising system which privatises profits and socialises losses is plainly unsatisfactory. So, as well as dealing with the particular problem of running the Edinburgh to London route, Lord Adonis needs to set his mind to reforming the terms on which these contracts are awarded and policed.
First, it is essential that lines should not be run by subsidiaries of larger companies that can be easily cut loose if managers get their sums wrong. This ability to walk away with minimal costs is an incentive for firms to overbid for contracts. The penalties for default must be considerable. The contracts should also be drawn up to prevent managers from taking colossal bonuses for meeting paltry performance targets.
What this bailout confirms is that railway franchises are not normal private businesses, but public utilities like water and electricity. Ministers must be prepared to regulate those who run them in a similarly robust fashion.

Adapted for Hiba Magazine by Shaheera Vakani (Jeddah)
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ
"And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e.music, singing, etc.) to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, the Verses of the Quran) by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire)." (Luqman 31:6)
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ And of the people are those who are محرومين and مخذولين. They are deprived from happiness, disgraced and dispraised.
And when Our Verses (of the Qur'an) are recited to such a one, he turns away in pride, as if he heard them not, as if there were deafness in his ear. So announce to him a painful torment.
Why are they deprived and disgraced?
مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ they purchase idle talk that makes them heedless and deviated. Allah is telling us that when someone chooses to purchase something, he has a desire for it and nobody is forcing him to. Qatadah said: "By Allah, he may not spend money on it, but his purchasing it means he likes it, and the more misguided he is, the more he likes it and the more he prefers falsehood to the truth and harmful things over beneficial things."
What are the types of talk?
- Truthful talk: is helpful and beneficial
- Vain talk: neutral talk; it is neither good nor bad and it does not increase one's knowledge but it will not harm him either
- Harmful talk: these are the sins of the tongue: backbiting, lying, slandering, and mocking. It is important to safe guard the tongue from such talk and rely on Allah to be protected from such talk.
- لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ is talk that is Haram; it is false and has no benefit in the Dunya or Akhirah.
Music and the Quran
The scholars have agreed that this verse indicates musical instruments and singing. Many people are in the misconception that the Quran does not explicitly mention that music is Haram but this verse makes it clear. It was said by scholars that singing and musical instruments sows hypocrisy in the hearts because it is not beneficial and deviates the heart from Allah's remembrance.
What about Nasheeds?
The wisdom behind this verse is that sometimes Nasheeds become faster engrained in the hearts and minds of people than the Quran. The misconception is that Nasheeds increase in one's faith, but if you really wish to increase your faith, then you have the Book of Allah! It is the speech of Allah that is unmatched by any other speech. This is Ihsaan, to worship Allah in the best way.
يقول أبو مالك الأشعري أنه سمع النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول
ليكونن من أمتي قوم يستحلون الحر والحرير والخمر والمعازف
Abu Malik Al-Ashari said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (sa) say, "From among my followers there will be people who will consider lawful (Halal) illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcohol and the use of musical instruments." (Bukhari)
Musical instruments were "made Halal or lawful", which means that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (sa), musical instruments were Haram. Singing is the sound of the Shaitan, it stirs people's emotions and deprives them from working towards the noble goal that Allah created us for. This includes movies, theatres and cinemas.
What is the reason behind purchasing this idle talk?
لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ to mislead other from the path of Allah without knowledge. He will mislead someone else by spreading this disease of idle talk. He misguides himself and others from the Quran and Sunnah and Shaitan will tempt and trick us into thinking that the path of Allah is tedious.
وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا the next step is that he will mock the verses of Allah and never take it seriously. He will become busy with things that have no wisdom or value and this shows his misbehaviour and disrespect towards Allah and His verses.
أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ for those people is a humiliating torment. The word أُولَٰئِكَ is usually used to exalt something and raise its status, but in this verse it means that those people are outcasts and far from Allah's mercy. This status started from purchasing idle talk, which lead to misleading himself and others, which lead to mockery of Allah and His verses. They are punished and belittled and will suffer humiliating torment because of their mockery.
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا وَلَّىٰ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَأَنَّ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًا ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
"And when Our Verses (of the Quran) are recited to such a one, he turns away in pride, as if he heard them not, as if there were deafness in his ear. So announce to him a painful torment." (Luqman 31:7)
What is the condition of this person?
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا The verses of Allah are recited to this person because Allah has decreed that he will hear them and choose the path of guidance, but what is his response?
وَلَّىٰ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَأَنَّ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًا He turns away and rejects the verses of Allah with complete arrogance. These verses were meant to increase him in faith but rather, the idle talk and heedless words that he would listen to and relish have blinded his heart and the verse of Allah cannot penetrate into a sinful heart. Moreover, he turns away as though he cannot hear the verses at all because there is a deafness of heaviness in his ears. At this point, the person has rejected the truth as a result of ignorance and arrogance.
فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ So announce to him a painful torment. Allah will give him respite and show him the signs to bring him to guidance, but the person rejects this. The temporary satisfaction that he got out of this idle talk resulted in painful torment of the body and heart because he turned away from the speech and remembrance of Allah.
Etiquettes and Manners of Reciting the Quran
- Sincerity: to be sincere to Allah in your intention and to recite it only for His sake
- Purity: it is recommended to make Wudhu and be in a purified state when reciting the Quran. However, a person in the state of Janabah is not allowed to recite the Quran. Also, the area he is sitting to recite should be clean and pure.
- Use of Miswak: to have a clean mouth before reciting the Quran is a Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (sa)
- Seeking refuge with Allah from Shaitan: Shaitan does not want you to recite the Quran and will distract you and discourage you
- Saying Bismillah: It should be said when starting a new Surah, except for Surah At-Taubah. When starting the middle of a Surah, however, it is enough that only the Istiadhah is said.
- Reciting clearly: to recite clearly and slowly without hastening, and to recite with Tajweed while pondering the meanings
- Beautifying the voice: beautify your voice when reciting the Quran without exceeding the limits of Tajweed
- Stop reciting if tired or sleepy: when tired or sleepy, it is better to stop reciting because you are not fully aware of what you are reciting.
- Patience with difficulty: It is mentioned in a Sahih Hadith that the one who recites the Quran with expertise is with the honourable angels, while the one who has difficulty reciting gets two rewards: reward for reciting and reward for patience
- Facing the Qiblah: it is from the manners of reciting the Quran but it is also allowed to recite in any other position; sitting, walking, riding and even if you are lying down. The best way is to sit and face the Qiblah.

As with all customization, Well, then IRIX is better than Xxxxxxx. <g> There are lots of systems with... issues with some of their standard libraries, or with third party modules or libraries. > different people have different priorities; mine was speed. Right, but there is already a highperformance.conf-dist config file. The base config file doesn't have to and shouldn't refelct configuration needed to pull the best possible performance out. In order to allow for portability and maintenance, a lot of tradeoffs have to be made. For example, adding: +#if defined(IRIX) && _MIPS_SIM != _ABIO32 +#pragma mips_frequency_hint NEVER +#endif in lots and lots of places is really not desirable from a maintenance viewpoint. Could you maybe do something like defining a macro that includes some file (eg. #include "irix_frequency_hint_never.h") if the various defines are present? That file would then have the #pragma line in it. Then it is easier to add this for other platforms and is easier to update if we need more restrictions. While I haven't had time to review your patches in detail, I have noticed a number of things such as this that don't really fit into Apache as is. That doesn't mean your patches aren't good, but just that they need some work to fit nicely into Apache. I may get a chance to look at them in more detail in the next week or two.

DANNY BROUGH stuck the boot into Leeds but Huddersfield were still seething despite making a mockery of having 12 men.
Luke O'Donnell was sent off after only 15 minutes and ended the involvement of Ian Kirke who was later taken to hospital.
Initially referee Thierry Alibert had allowed play to continue as the Rhinos prop had treatment.
Australian O'Donnell was given a warning and then replaced.
But minutes later he was recalled to the field by Alibert and red-carded after a rethink.
Huddersfield still ran riot with skipper Brough leading the way with a 20-point haul.
He bagged a try, set up two more and kicked eight goals.
But Giants coach Paul Anderson, whose side face Hull next Sunday, said: "Can you send people off because you think something has happened five minutes after it took place?
"I don't agree. I believe it was a clash of heads."
Leeds boss Brian McDermott is worried about Kirke's health ahead of next Saturday's play-off clash with Wakefield. He said: "Ian wasn't in a great shape.

Gazette (Battersea)
Yes, it's a brasserie in a fairly newbuild residential block East of Wandsworth bridge, but this is an astonishingly good place to spend an evening eating and drinking extremely well. I knew it was going to be good when I realised that everyone seemed to be having a good time, a good portion of the diners were French and that I wanted to consume almost everything on the menu. The room is well divided so it feels cosier than it has a right to do and generally it feels sufficiently smart and at once fairly relaxed. The quality of the cooking is high, which is to say it's genuinely skilled and there's care taken at every step. Though this is a brasserie such that you know much of what's going to be on the menu, there are 4 plats du jour/ daily specials offered whose creation tends to be a little more inventive than the bistrot classics on the 'menu principal'. The sauce poivre was mediocre- that's the greatest criticism I can come up with. The frites, steak, cheese souffle, salad, vinaigrette, bread, cuisses de grenouilles, petits pots au chocolat, cheeses; they were all top notch. Service was warm, charming, attentive but not intrusive. The wine list is a product of love and intelligence and care was taken to make sure I chose well. Glassware is better than you'd expect. Decent availability of a selection of wines by the glass and half bottle. Kids' food too.
