An antidote for frustration |

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh An antidote for frustration When a person finds difficult impediments preventing him from achieving personal goals, or satisfying natural desires, he is liable to experience frustration as a result. Many psychologists consider frustration an important cause for psychological disorder, worry, and lack of stability and reassurance. People in the Western civilization may suffer from frustration when they feel unable to fulfil their ambitions. This is due to the fact that Western civilization places too strong an emphasis on success and rising up the social order. Islam, on the other hand, relieves its followers from feelings of frustration, because a Muslim gives much greater importance to the reward he receives from God. Hence, a Muslim seeks God's reward for every action he does, big or small. He is not after people's praise or social prominence. He has a different sort of motivation. He seeks a better position with God, the Almighty. When the objective is God's reward and the higher position He may assign to one, frustration does not come into play. The means for achieving such an objective do not depend on the level of health or income one may enjoy or receive. Indeed, it does not depend on any similar consideration. A believer who offers his prayers will continue to offer them when he falls ill. If his illness makes him unable to stand up for prayer, he will pray in the seated position, and if he cannot sit, he may pray while lying down in his bed. A wealthy believer expresses his gratitude to God by being charitable, helping poor and needy people. A poor believer on the other hand attains the same position through patience in adversity and being contented with what God has given him. Indeed God considers every thing we do in life akin to worship, provided that we do not seek through it personal exaltation or the spread of corruption on Earth. God says in the Qur'an: "As for the happy life in the hereafter, We grant it only to those who do not seek to exalt themselves on Earth, nor to spread corruption. Indeed the future belongs to the God-fearing." (28: 83) That is because a person who does not seek personal glory, has no intention of spreading corruption and truly believes in God and the Day of Judgment, will have pure intentions. He is honest and sincere. His deeds count as worship, his pursuit of his livelihood will be confined to what is lawful and, as such, counts as worship. When he spends his money to support his wife and children, his spending is rewarded like a pure act of charity. In an authentic Hadith, Abu Hurairah quotes the Prophet as saying: "An amount of money you spend for God's cause, and a similar amount you spend to free a slave, and one you give away to a needy person, and an amount you spend on your household. The amount which will give you greater reward is the one you spend on your family." (Related by Muslim). This Hadith shows that a good believer who works hard to support his wife and children receives a greater reward than one who spends his money on charity or, to free slaves or to support God's cause. The only proviso is that such support of his family remains within what God has made lawful, free of show off and extravagance. Many Hadiths and statements by the Prophet support this. Umm Salamah, the Prophet's wife, asked him whether she earns any reward for supporting her children after their father had died. She told him she would not abandon them anyway. He told her: "Yes, indeed. You earn a reward for what you spend on them. (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim). The Prophet says to one of his companions: "You will earn a reward for every thing you spend seeking God's pleasure, [color=Red]even for a bite you put in your wife's mouth."[/color] (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim). He also says: "When a man spends something on his family seeking God's pleasure will earn him a reward like that for charity."(Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim). When done sincerely and with good intention, a woman's housework and the care she takes of her children are considered acts of worship at the same level as striving for God's cause. A woman complained to the Prophet that men receive plentiful reward for striving in God's cause and fighting for it, while women stay at home to look after children. He said: "Being a good wife and mother is equal to that." Indeed when a believer satisfies his sexual desire in a legitimate way, steering away from all that is forbidden, he receives a reward for conscious avoidance of what God has prohibited. Some people complained to the Prophet, saying: "Messenger of God, rich people have gone away with much greater reward. They pray like we pray, and fast like we fast, but they also give what remains of their money for charity." The Prophet said to them: "But God has given you the means to be charitable. Every time you glorify God, or exalt or praise Him, or declare His oneness counts as an act of charity. When you enjoin someone to do what is right or counsel someone against doing what is wrong you do a charitable act. [color=Blue]And when you satisfy your desire, you earn a reward for charity." They exclaimed: "Would any of us be rewarded for having satisfied his sexual desire?" He said: "Do you not know that when a person does that in a forbidden way, he carries its sinful burden? By the same token, when he does that in a legitimate way, he earns a reward,"[/color] (Related by Muslim). Indeed a believer is rewarded for eating and drinking, to enhance his position with God. The Prophet says: "God is pleased with His servant when he eats or drinks something and expresses his gratitude to Him for that." (Related by Muslim). When a person spares other people his ill-will he earns a reward. Abu Tharr asked the Prophet: "Messenger of God, which deeds are best? He replied: 'To believe in God and strive for His cause.' Abu Tharr asked: Which slaves are best to free? The Prophet answered: 'The most valuable for their owner and the most expensive to buy.' Abu Tharr rejoined: And if I do not do that? The Prophet said: 'To help someone in his work or do something for one who is unable to do it for himself.' Abu Tharr continued: Messenger of God, what if I slacken and cannot do such work? The Prophet said: 'You refrain from doing others any harm. That counts as an act of charity you do for yourself'." (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim). A good believer is spared frustration even when he is afflicted with serious disability, such as blindness or paralysis. They do not prevent him from achieving an excellent position with God. The Prophet mentions the case of one who is tested with the loss of his two beloved ones, i.e. his eyes, so as to become blind, and says: "God says: when I test My servant with the loss of his two beloved ones, I compensate him with admission into heaven." (Related by Al-Bukhari). Needless to say, this is true only in the case of one who reacts with resigned acceptance. On the other hand, a person who grumbles and shows his anger at his loss will earn nothing other than God's displeasure. We see from all this that a person's position with God is independent from his physical strength, wealth, position of influence, etc. Any deprivation or lack of wealth and influence will not prevent a believer from attaining a high position with God. The Prophet says: "Among God's servants there are those whom God is certain to grant their most solemn appeals (to Him)." (Related by Al-Bukhari). He also says: "Shall I tell you about the people who will find their abode in heaven? They include every humble person whom God is certain to grant their appeals. Shall I tell you about the people of hell? They include every fat, rude and arrogant glutton." (Related by Al-Bukhari and At-Tirmithi). In another Hadith, the Prophet says: "A person may be covered with dust, and having disheveled hair, yet God is certain to grant his most solemn appeal."

Filoni Talks Second Season Clone Wars
DF: When it first came about, I wasn't quite sure how it was going to work. As a storyboard artist, I said I could just draw these in half the time, but what happened was I bought into the concept. George wants to try this, so let's do it. We started talking with a team of developers behind the tool. And I think what they had never had before was a bunch of artists like me and my story guys who actually had to use it, so we started saying, "We don't need these functions here -- we don't need these buttons; we need very simply to pose the character." And then they would show us all of these more Maya-centric technical devices: a curve editor and cameras and lenses.
BD: Was it designed for more photoreal intentions?
DF: That's part of it. The other thing was we were all such 2D storyboard artists and it was a real team effort to get this tool to work, and now I use it for all my functions, even for posing characters. I'll stick them under a lens and see how it affects the models as a reference tool. Once George taught me, I really learned to enjoy it, like blocking characters on a set and really shooting it like a film and now if I have a digital set, I just go shoot on it. And you can see a lot of leaps like that around the other studios, with Avatar coming out and A Christmas Carol. We're just using this same kind of digital tool on a weekly basis and on a smaller scale.
BD: What is the latest iteration of Zviz able to offer you?
DF: I think for me a lot of it is interface-based: it's the ease of my interaction with the tool; how I can pose a character very quickly, now that we have a lot more automated poses. We have animation saved up that we can drop in and click. We worked out how to get the proxy models done faster and the sets faster, so what you've seen in the past is a lot of gray scale and we're trying to take it so that I have textures on everything. Now we can see the walls and the carpet and the floors and the trees and compose better and better shots with that. I imagine that I will get basic lighting set ups one day.
BD: How has the Singapore studio improved?
DF: They've always been a really good group and the animation talent coming out of there always surprises me. I think, much like my crew here, they've seen their work released to the public and have watched final shots to see what works and doesn't. It's a lot easier to see it for some reason in clarity once it's done. But there have been a lot of people coming over from Lucasfilm Animation and ILM and mentoring these young people. And they have been very good at communicating what their needs are. And the type of responsibilities they've done on Clone Wars -- key shots with key characters -- and will continue to do this season shows they've come a long, long way.
BD: And CGCG from Teipi?
DF: They brought a tremendous amount of experience about how to do a CG television show and they've done a bulk of work for us. We told them we want to make it better, we want to add certain things and they've improved the quality of their animation as well. I think it comes in part with everybody liking Star Wars that works on this show. They're really committed to making it better, every season.
Bill Desowitz is senior editor of AWN & VFXWorld.
Star Wars The Clone Wars: The Complete Season One (TV Series)is listed on Amazon.com with a release day of Tuesday November 3, 2009. Star Wars Fans are probably looking forward to this release.
I saw a few episodes from season 1 and I am looking forward to watching the rest of the season. Season 2 looks very entertaining from the many commercials I have seen recently on different TV stations.

Saint Barbara's Church in Kutna Hora, CZ, is one of the most famous Gothic churches in central Europe. It is a UNESCO world heritage site. St. Barbara is the patron saint of miners, which was highly appropriate for a town whose wealth was based entirely upon its silver mines.

Kutna Hora, Square of Natioal Resistance
The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

John...tell them to ship it to me, and "I'll hold it for you" until you return...
Hi all
I just bought an AKG C426 -I couldn't help myself! I've been lusting after one of these for such a long time.
One of the reasons I bought this is that the pattern box on my C34 was modified by the BBC to turn it into an MS decoder (the voltage sent to the bottom half is permanently set to 120V to keep it in figure-of-eight), and the cost of a new box from AKG is rather horrific so I figured I might as well buy the mic as well.
I think both mics are amazing, but I don't really have a good enough memory of the sound of the 426 to make comparisons in my head.
I'm just a little curious about how they compare to each other -I've never heard them on a similar source.
What's really annoying is that I'll be away when my 426 arrives :evil:
John...tell them to ship it to me, and "I'll hold it for you" until you return...

Those 2 mics are completely different sounding... So different, it is almost hard to quantify how different they are. Now the good thing is that the pattern box and cable for the 426 will also work on the C-34 so you'll have both.
The C-34 I find is a much brighter sounding mic than the 426. The 426 has a "bigger" sound (probably due to the fact that it is a large diaphragm mic) and it always seems to work in any room that I put it up in. In bad rooms, things sound good. In good rooms, things sound fantastic.
When you get the new mic, put the two up next to each other, and change cables. It will be quite obvious...
Thanks Ben
It's great that I'll be able to use both in all pattern combinations. My impression of the C426 was what can only have been described as big and expensive sounding.
I know the C34 sounds a little brighter but I think it has a wonderfully lively sound, and it's absolutely fantastic for vocals.
Really looking forward to playing with the two of them!
That's very kind of you! Just send me your details......Originally Posted by Midlandmorgan

There are a few people in my life that this applies to! Why can't people just be themselves? Why do some people think that they have to put up this fake front? I won't group everyone together by the actions of just a few, but there are fake people out there.
I know I've written about the online persona that people have, but what I'm talking about is how people are in person. I understand people have walls up to protect them from hurt, but some people are just fake.
Maybe I'm judging, but I really do try to take into account the whole essence of a person. They may be just having a bad day or an off day. But these fakes are people I've known for a while and their fakeness is consistent.
Oh well... I guess I just need to tollerate them, let them be who they want to be. As long as I don't have to spend too much time with them.

What's really hard is when you learn this about people too late, after you've invested your trust and energy in building bonds with them.
Sorry you have people in your life like this, too. At least you seem to be able to spot them head on and avoid unnecessary entanglements. I know I've learned the hard way to spot them early and avid them.
Sigh.... - January 27, 2011 at 1:59 PM
I can spot a phony a mile away and will avoid them at all costs. not worth my time.

I agree with Anne Marie in Philly (BTW, are you really a woman or just some gay guy being cute?)
I too can spot a fake a mile away and I take a wide path around them. If they should corner me, I plow through them. I won't waste a second with them. I've already invested too much of my life in these people, the get no more of my time. I don't hate, they're just not there anymore. - January 27, 2011 at 9:11 PM

Bradford Abbas engagement photography | Karen & Dougie|
Karen & Dougie are getting married at Lower Stockbridge Farm Barn in October and are having a country rustic wedding with lots of handmade details!
We met up with the couple in Bradford Abbas, which is a beautiful English Country Village just outside Sherborne. Mary The Virgin Church is reputed to be one of the prettiest churches in Dorset and I would have to vouch for that.
We took a stroll around the village and found a foot path leading to a river, so took some shots in the shade on the bridge, before making our way to the village pub and a lovely old phone box, which you don't see enough of these days.

Big session at the airport today.
Me and Jason, my instructor, went through the entire flight exam step by step. I'm very happy with my instructor's slow and consistent approach.
I've got the day off tomorrow. Well, mostly. I'll wind up studying a lot. Jason on the other hand gets to work. That guy's run off his feet lately.
Slow day lined up here at Quest as well for tomorrow (the hang gliding flight park I'm staying at). So it looks like mellow is on the menu... and I'm not complaining.

Sunday's 93 degrees sets record
Sunday's high temperature of 93 degrees at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport shattered a 35-year-old record. Forecasters say cooler marine air is moving in from the coast.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seattle enjoyed a two-day heat wave as Seafair wound down over the weekend with near-record highs Saturday and mercury-busting temperatures Sunday.
But with cooler marine air moving in from the coast, our summer weather has just about peaked, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.
"I hope everyone enjoyed it because it'll soon be gone," meteorologist Dennis D'Amico said of the weekend weather.
While there's a slight chance of thunderstorms in Western Washington on Monday, the eastern part of the state will be under a "red flag" warning for most of the day. Gusty winds, low humidity and "dry" thunderstorms — lightning with little or no rain — are in the forecast, creating the potential for fires in critically dry areas, D'Amico said.
In the Puget Sound region, "right now it looks like we're going to be pretty close to normal — with highs in high 70s to low 80s — for the remainder of the week," he said.
The weekend was a different story:
"It's the Western Washington special," D'Amico said, noting we typically get two, maybe three days of hot, sweaty weather before things start to cool off. That is a good thing given that "most folks don't have air conditioning in our region. Usually, we only have one or two nights of uncomfortable sleeping," D'Amico said.
On Saturday, the mercury rose to 93 degrees at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, two degrees shy of the 95-degree high posted in 1993, he said. In Olympia, Saturday's high of 94 degrees fell short of the 95-degree record, also set in 1993, according to D'Amico.
Bellingham, which had an 85-degree day Saturday, also didn't break any records: It was four-degrees warmer there in 1993.
But then on Sunday, the high temperature of 93 degrees shattered a 35-year-old record set at the airport, where a high of 89 degrees was recorded in 1977, D'Amico said. In Olympia, the high inched up to 94 degrees, busting the 90-degree record of 2008, he said. And in Bellingham, the mercury nudged up to 85 degrees, beating out the 84-degree high also recorded in 1977, D'Amico said.
"Most of those events are pretty short-lived around here," D'Amico said of our mini-heat wave. "If you want extremes, that's what the rest of the country is for."
As we move into mid-August, low temperatures will dip down into the mid- to upper 50s, which "is also pretty typical for this time of year," he said. "We're getting a little past the peak of summer weather," with high temperatures expected to drop off to highs in the mid-70s as we near the end of the month.

gnokii is a multisystem tool suite for mobile phones. It provides a library to communicate with a phone hiding the communication protocol. The library handles SMS, phonebook, calendar, phone calls, and other mobile phone capabilities. It supports Nokia-FBUS mobiles, AT-capable phones (most of the mobiles), as well as Symbian-based phones.
nxlog is a modular, multi-threaded, high-performance log management solution with multi-platform support. In concept, it is similar to syslog-ng or rsyslog, but is not limited to Unix/syslog only. It can collect logs from files in various formats, receive logs from the network remotely over UDP, TCP, or TLS/SSL on all supported platforms. It supports platform-specific sources such as the Windows Eventlog, Linux kernel logs, Android device logs, local syslog, etc. Writing and reading logs to/from databases is also supported for many database servers. The collected logs can be stored into files, databases, or forwarded to a remote log server using various protocols. The old BSD Syslog and the newer IETF syslog standard (RFC 3164 and RFC 5424-5426) are fully supported by nxlog in addition to XML, JSON, CSV, GELF, and other custom formats. A key concept in nxlog is to be able to handle and preserve structured logs so there is no need to convert everything to syslog and then parse these logs again at the other side. It has powerful message filtering, log rewrite, and conversion capabilities. Using a lightweight, modular, and multi-threaded architecture which can scale, nxlog can process hundreds of thousands of events per second.
FusionInventory Agent is an generic inventory agent that can collect information from various sources including the local machine, network, and remote devices. It also has the ability to send Wake on LAN requests and deploy software. The agent can be used with GLPI, Uranos, Rudder, Pulse2, and OCS Inventory.
OCS Inventory is an application designed to help a network or system administrator keep track of the configuration and software of computers that are installed on the network. Information about hardware and operating system are collected. OCS Inventory is also able to detect all active devices on your network, such as switches, routers, network printers, and unattended devices. It also allows you to deploy software, commands, or files on client computers.

Carson, Calif. • Juninho and Todd Dunivant scored second-half goals to help the Los Angeles Galaxy beat FC Dallas 2-0 on Sunday.
Juninho tucked away a feed in the 66th minute from Jose Villarreal after the rookie forward stripped Dallas defender Matt Hedges about 15 yards outside the Hoops' box and raced past goalkeeper Kevin Hartman on the left. Juninho first-timed the shot into a virtually open net.
Dunivant scored in the 84th after sending a pass to Robbie Keane in Dallas' box, then racing forward for a penetrating ball from Michael Stephens.
The victory moved the Galaxy (12-11-4) within three points of second-place Seattle and third-place Real Salt Lake in a tight battle behind Western Conference leader San Jose. Dallas (8-12-8) is five points behind Vancouver in the fight for the fifth and final Western playoff berth.
Sporting KC 1, Red Bulls 1 • Kansas City's Kei Kamara delivered on a brilliant header in the opening minutes, and then gave it back with an own-goal moments later for the game's only scoring.
Kamara's goal was his fifth in the past 10 MLS games for host Sporting KC, which remains just ahead of New York in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Red Bulls played without forward Thierry Henry, whose wife gave birth to a son Friday, and they sorely lacked his offense. New York managed only three shots and none on goal.

Bought this in Ginger to match my Interior.Looks good except when you put it on there is a week spot , and ripped the first time. Had it for over a year before I got car out (Other Mech. Issues), and put it on. Still doesn't look bad, but not the quality I expected compared to all of the other parts I bought here. Was looking at Seat Upholstery, but think I will go leather and have them made.
