text: The ahaadeeth about the Mahdi and the descent of 'Eesa (peace be upon him) are not a reason to stop striving أحاديث املهدي ونزول املسيح عليه السالم ليست مداعة لرتك العمل ] English - [ إجنلزيي Sheikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid حممد صالح املنجد Translation: Islam Question and Answer website Format: Islamhouse website موقع اإلسالم سؤال وجواب:ترمجة islamhouse موقع:تنسيق 2012 - 1434 The ahaadeeth about the Mahdi and the descent of 'Eesa (peace be upon him) are not a reason to stop striving Some people take the ahaadeeth about the Mahdi and the descent of 'Eesa (peace be upon him) as a reason to stop striving for Islam, so they sit and wait for the emergence of the Mahdi or the descent of 'Eesa, so that Islam and the Muslims will rise once again. What is your opinion of this understanding?. Praise be to Allaah. This miserable situation in which the Muslim ummah is today is one that is disgraceful, and every Muslim is responsible for setting things straight. But some Muslims fail to strive, relying on hope and avoiding doing anything to set the ummah's situation straight, on the grounds that it was caused by those who came before us and will be set right by those who come after us. So they fail to strive to support the religion of Allaah, on the basis that the Mahdi is the one who will do that. This is resorting to hope without implementing the means that are prescribed in Islam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "It will not be in accordance with your desires (Muslims), nor those of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof, and he will not find any protector or helper besides Allaah" [al-Nisa' 4:123] 2 This negativity from which some Muslims are suffering nowadays is not something that could be prescribed by the Islamic texts, rather it is a misunderstanding, incapability and laziness, and an evasion of responsibility. Allaah has commanded the Muslims to strive for this religion and to call people to it, to debate with the kuffaar and invite them to Islam with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and to fight them until there is no longer any shirk on earth. Allaah says (Interpretation of the meaning): "And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism, i.e. worshipping others besides Allaah), and the religion (worship) will all be for Allaah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allaah), then certainly, Allaah is All-Seer of what they do" [al-Anfaal 8:39] Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Here Allaah commands us to fight the kuffaar "until there is no more Fitnah" i.e., shirk, "and the religion (worship) will all be for Allaah alone" i.e., the religion of Allaah will be the one that prevails over all other religions. End quote. This command is not specific to any particular time or place, rather the Muslims at all times and in all places are commanded to do this. Undoubtedly striving for Islam and supporting it on earth require the Muslims to work hard, strive hard and implement all means that will lead to that. Some people misunderstand the ahaadeeth which speak of the emergence of the Mahdi or the descent of the Messiah 'Eesa ibn 3 Maryam (peace be upon him) and they become apathetic, and they sit waiting for the emergence of the Mahdi or the descent of the Messiah, and they stop calling people to Allaah and striving to make the word of Allaah supreme. But Allaah, may He be exalted, and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) have commanded us to implement the means and strive on this earth. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "O you who believe! Take your precautions, and either go forth (on an expedition) in parties, or go forth all together" [al-Nisa' 4:71] "And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery) to threaten the enemy of Allaah and your enemy" [al-Anfaal 8:60] "He it is Who has made the earth subservient to you (i.e. easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it); so walk in the path thereof and eat of His provision. And to Him will be the Resurrection" [al-Mulk 67:15] "and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e. hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allaah)" [al-Mutaffifeen 83:26] "For the like of this let the workers work" 4 [al-Saaffaat 37:61] "And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it (i.e. does righteous deeds of Allaah's obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allaah Islamic Monotheism) — then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, (thanked and rewarded by Allaah)" [al-Isra' 17:19] "And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness)" [al-Baqarah 2:197] The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to make preparations for everything, drawing up a plan, as happened during the hijrah, when he prepared mounts and a guide, and chose a traveling-companion, and he decided on a place to hide until the pursuit had cooled down, and he shrouded all of that in secrecy. This is how he acted in all his campaigns, and this is how he trained his noble companions. They used to prepare themselves with all kinds of weapons. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) entered Makkah with his helmet on his head, although Allaah had said (interpretation of the meaning): "Allaah will protect you from mankind" [al-Maa'idah 5:67] And when he traveled for jihad or Hajj or 'Umrah, he took his provisions with him. 5 The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Strive for that which will benefit you, and seek the help of Allaah, and do not be helpless." Narrated by Muslim, 2664. We can imagine what the fate of the da'wah and the ummah would have been if the previous generations had heeded the calls to give up until the Mahdi emerges. Would they have defeated the Tatars and crusaders, or conquered Constantinople? This misunderstanding of the Islamic texts which speak about the Mahdi and the Messiah (peace be upon him) has been refuted by many scholars, daa'iyahs and writers. Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It is not permissible for the Muslims to ignore striving for Islam and the establishment of an Islamic state on earth, waiting for the emergence of the Mahdi and the descent of 'Eesa (peace be upon them), out of despair or imagining that that is not possible before they come. This is a false notion and false despair. Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not tell us that Islam will not return or regain power on earth except at their time. It is possible to achieve that before they come, if the Muslims implement the means of doing that, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allaah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm" [Muhammad 47:7] "Verily, Allaah will help those who help His (Cause)" [al-Hajj 22:40] 6 With regard to the ahaadeeth which speak of the descent of 'Eesa (peace be upon him) etc., it is obligatory to believe in them, and to refute those who think that they mean we should not strive, and to prepare to do whatever must be done at any time and in any place. End quote. Professor 'Abd al-'Azeez Mustafa said: Striving in jihad against the kuffaar, no matter who they are and no matter where they are and no matter in what time they are, is obligatory according to sharee'ah, and this has not been abrogated. This is an established Islamic truth. This jihad is obligatory if the conditions for it are met and if the guidelines and rulings concerning it apply. It is not one of these conditions, guidelines or rulings that jihad should be delayed until the prediction (about the Mahdi and the Messiah) is fulfilled, and this is not how the first Muslims understood it or acted. When they were told that Allaah would break the power of Chosroes with their swords, they did not hide in their houses waiting for that prediction to come true and for it to come to pass without them making any effort; rather they made preparations for that until victory came to pass. Thus the consequences of obeying the command of Allaah (i.e., to fight the kuffaar) coincided with the decree of Allaah (i.e., that their kingdom should be destroyed). But some Muslims nowadays say: No, jihad against the Jews should not happen until the Dajjaal appears. Perhaps this is part of the fitnah of the Dajjaal in this world. This foolish notion has taken hold of some Muslim youth, and they have refused to take any responsibility with regard to alMasjid al-Aqsa, the environs of which Allaah has blessed. An even more foolish notion has taken hold of them, which is that the Islamic state and the caliphate can never be established until the Mahdi emerges. 7 It is a very strange idea. By their actions it is as if they are saying to the Jews: Treat your enemies harshly, and saying to the Christians: Continue with your wrongdoing… and to the Muslims: Continue with your division and conflicts… until the Mahdi emerges. I do not know on what evidence they have fallen into this error and why they imagine that the Mahdi will emerge to people who are doing nothing or that apathetic people will support him. We ask Allaah to bring the Muslims back to their religion. And Allaah knows best. See: al-Mahdi wa Fiqh Ashraat al-Saa'ah by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Isma'eel al-Muqaddim. 8

Nemschitz (Morava, Czech Republic)
Nemschitz (Nembschitz, Niemtschitz; Czech, Nemcice), the name of eleven villages in different parts of Moravia, three of which are mentioned in the Hutterian chronicles:
(1) Gross-Niemtschitz, on the left bank of the Schwarza between Nikolsburg and Nusslau. To this place the "Stäbler" came from Nikolsburg in 1529. From here they sent four messengers to the barons of Kaunitz at Austerlitz with a petition for admission, which was granted them. The trial of the miller Nikolaus Geyersbühler shows that there were Anabaptists there at a later period. "Although he could neither read nor write and was not a leader or preacher, he was sent by the brotherhood to his old home to bring Anabaptists to Moravia." He was beheaded at Innsbruck in 1566/7.
(2) Klein-Niemtschitz in the domain of Panowitz, in which Anabaptists had settled at Gurdau, Rackvitz, and Seitz, had a Hutterite Bruderhof, date of founding unknown, which was abandoned in 1559; the chronicles say that the Brethren were driven out and moved to Pellerditz; they opened a Bruderhof in that year under the Baron of Wickow.
(3) Klein-Nembschitz near Pralitz (in the chronicles usually called "Nembschitz bei Präles"; see Klein-Nembschitz), on the road from Brno to Znaim in the Kaunitz domain on the left bank of the Iglawa, noted for its fruit and vineyards. Baron Siegmund von Zastrizel gave the Brethren a Bruderhof here in 1562 with several gardens and a mill. This Bruderhof prospered and soon became one of the most important in the country. In 1564 three men were confirmed in the ministry: Klaus Braidl, a shoemaker, later head of the entire brotherhood, Valentin Horl, and Hans Langenbach; and Leonhard Dax, who was well known on account of his long imprisonment in Alzey, was chosen to the ministry. Here Leonhard Lanzenstiel, the head of the entire Moravian brotherhood, died in 1565.
An important institution of this Bruderhof (3) was Peter Walpot's school. Here he published on 15 November 1568, his famous address to the teachers which shows evidence of his pedagogical skill. To the "sisters in the cotton rooms" Paul Glock addressed his eighth letter written in prison in Württemberg in 1569. The skill of the craftsmen of the Bruderhof is proved by the order given in 1569 by the wealthy nobleman Albrecht von Boskowitz and Tchernahora for a fountain and water conduit to be connected with the city water system in the building of his new townhouse, at the price of sixty florins and five measures of wheat (copy of the letter in the private archives of the Prince of Liechtenstein in Vienna.) In 1606 Niemtschitz suffered severe arbitrary violence at the hands of armies enroute to Hungary. Great offense was caused among the Brethren in 1610, when the bishop Georg Riedel had to be deposed because he neglected the duties of his office for experiments in alchemy.
This settlement was especially hardpressed in the Moravian uprising. After the inhuman treatment of the Pribitz Brethren at the hands of the Polish troops of the imperial army, the Brethren fled with their neighbors to Pausram. The terrible distress of the Brethren, who were subjected to all sorts of mistreatment, is related in the Geschicht-Buch. On 28 December 1620 soldiers broke into the abandoned house and plundered it completely, "and burned the best buildings. What the soldiery did not find in the earth, the baron of Kaunitz, who should have protected the Brethren, had his men dig up and take away, so that they lost everything at once."
On 3 January 1621 two men who had ventured back to the ravaged house were cut down by soldiers. Nevertheless the Brethren began again in March to live there and to build; then soldiers came again and robbed them, and raped two sisters. Again the Brethren began anew, and then some troops of the Brno garrison broke in on 15 July, "plundered everything and took away 35 loads of booty, grain and all that they found." After the suppression of the rebellion Niemtschitz fell to Cardinal Dietrichstein, who had this Bruderhof as well as those in Nikolsburg and Tracht completely plundered even before the general expulsion of the Anabaptists.

Gang member arrested in Colo. corrections killing
Published 12:00 am Friday, April 5, 2013
DENVER (AP) — One of two members of a white supremacist gang linked to the killing of Colorado's prisons chief has been arrested just miles away from where the state official was shot to death answering the door to his home.
James Lohr was taken into custody early Friday, said El Paso County sheriff's spokesman Jeff Kramer. Lohr was wanted for questioning in the killing of Colorado Corrections Director Tom Clements. It's unclear if Lohr has been charged.
Authorities believe Lohr was in contact with gang associate Evan Ebel days before the slayings of Clements and pizza delivery man Nate Leon. Police said they believe Ebel killed Leon and Clements before he was killed in a shootout in Texas. The motive in the killings isn't clear.
Clements was shot to death on March 19 in Monument, just north of Colorado Springs. Leon was killed two days earlier. His body was found in the Denver suburb of Golden.
KRDO-TV (http://tinyurl.com/d8bj8vt ) reported that Lohr was arrested by Colorado Springs police after a short foot chase that started when police tried to stop a car.
Authorities issued an alert Wednesday asking other law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for Lohr and Thomas Guolee, who were identified as two known associates of the same gang linked to Ebel.
Lohr, 47, and Guolee, 31, have not been called suspects in Clement's death, but their names surfaced during the investigation, Kramer said. He wouldn't elaborate. Both were wanted on warrants unrelated to the Clements investigation.
Lohr and Guolee are known associates of the 211 Crew, the same gang that has been linked to Ebel, Kramer said.
Kramer said earlier it's possible one or both of them could be headed to Nevada or Texas.
On Thursday, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper announced a sweeping review of the state's prison and parole operations as more evidence piled up showing how Ebel slipped through the cracks in the criminal justice system to become a suspect in the killing of the state's prisons chief.
Ebel was released from prison four years early due to a clerical error and violated his parole terms five days Clements was killed.
Officials said the state will now audit inmates' legal cases to ensure they are serving the correct amount of time. They also will ask the National Institute of Corrections to review the state's parole system, which is struggling under large caseloads.
Ebel was killed in a shootout with Texas authorities after the Colorado deaths. Investigators have said the gun Ebel used in the shootout was also used to kill Clements when the prisons chief answered the front door of his home.
Ebel is the only suspect that investigators have named in Clements' death. They have said they're looking into his connection to the gang he joined while in prison, and whether that was connected to the attack.
"Investigators are looking at a lot of different possibilities. We are not stepping out and saying it's a hit or it's not a hit. We're looking at all possible motives," Kramer said Wednesday.
Guolee is a parolee who served time for intimidating a witness and giving a pawnbroker false information, among other charges, court records show. Lohr was being sought on warrants out of Las Animas County for a bail violation and a violation of a protection order, according to court records.

Following on from June's local scene report and gig guide from Nottingham and the East Midlands, here's the fifth installment from DiS' man in the city...
Without meaning to repeat myself too much, Nottingham really is becoming the place to be at this moment in time. Having seen two of its most promising recently ink major label deals in the form of Dog Is Dead signing on the dotted line with Atlantic and teenage singer/songwriter Jake Bugg following a similar pursuit with Mercury, there's a general feeling for the first time in over a decade that Nottingham is finally being taken seriously within the broader spectrum of the music industry.
On top of that, Splendour completely sold out well in advance while recent charity shindigs in aid of the East Africa Oxfam appeal at Stealth and the I'm Not From London curated Waterfront festival in The Canalhouse were also very well attended, despite being on weekends coinciding with several major music and sporting events both regionally and nationally.
The city's Rescue Rooms venue has also undergone something of a major revamp, having been refurnished throughout the summer. Last weekend's re-opening party saw excellent live performances from Long Dead Signal, You Slut! and Hot Japanese Girl as well as DJ sets from Talkin' Loud's MJ Cole and Kkingdomm and proved to be a resounding success, with a host of new shows also announced as the winter approaches.
This coming weekend (9th-11th September) sees the second Headstocks Festival. Held in the Newstead and Annesley Country Park, also home to the historical Newstead Abbey, the success of last year's inaugural one-day event has given the organisers impetus to turn Headstocks Festival 2011 into a full weekend. With a line-up boasting nationally acclaimed acts such as Echo & The Bunnymen, The Ligthtning Seeds, Treetop Flyers, Tunng and DiS faves Danananaaykroyd along with some of the best local artists including Ronika, The PETEbox, Royal Gala and Silent Devices among many, many others, this year's event should firmly cement Headstocks' place on the UK's ever-growing festival map.
Those lovely people from A Layer Of Chips will be hosting their annual Nottingham Indiepop all-dayer on Saturday 1st October at The Chameleon. Artists confirmed to appear so far include the excellent Help Stamp Out Loneliness, The Blanche Hudson Weekend, Standard Fare and Milky Wimpshake along with many others. Doors open at 2:30pm and DJs will spin records after the bands have finished until 2am. Tickets are priced at £12 and £8 for concessions.
Awesome shoegaze-tinged six-piece Spotlight Kid will finally be getting around to releasing their debut album this winter. Entitled Disaster Tourist, it comes out on Monday 14th November via their own Tri-Tone Records imprint. The band also embark on a nine date tour in October calling in at:-
10 Manchester Night and Day Café
14 Nottingham Bodega Social
15 Glasgow Stairway Club
17 Liverpool Mojo
18 Hull Fruit
19 Leeds The Empire
20 Brighton The Hope
21 London The Underbelly
22 Birmingham Flapper & Firkin
City-based post-punk outfit The Amber Herd - and when we say "post punk", we mean like the masterclass of 1984 perfected so vehemently back in the day - released their excellent This Town EP earlier this summer. They also recorded a sombre cover of Sparklehorse's 'Painbirds' during sessions for the EP which you can hear below:-
All-girl punk trio The Smears have finally gotten round to putting together the follow-up debut long player Hell On High Heels. We'd expect it to be full of sassy short sharp shocks that leave little to the imagination other than pave a gateway for shambolic mayhem. One man agit provocateur Jason Williamson aka Sleaford Mods is also on the comeback trail - not that he's ever been away - with his latest collection of rants and observations Cheryl Dole just about ready to go. Watch his new video for the excellent 'Police Stop' below:-
One artist we can't stop talking about in this column is Jack Peachey, aka Gallery 47. Having delighted audiences at the likes of Summer Sundae, T In The Park and Splendour this summer we're pleased to announce his debut long player, Fate Is The Law, is finally available to purchase [here]( http://gallery47.bigcartel.com/). With comparisons being made to the likes of Conor Oberst, Stephen Fretwell and Villagers among numerous others, we're quite hopeful of bigger things on the horizon shortly for the affable singer/songwriter. Here's the closing song from the album, 'Critic To A Chivalrous Scavenger'.
Another band currently making a name for themselves are The Money, a four-piece schooled in the traditional art of rock and roll infused songwriting. Their live show has been one of the most talked about in the city for a while now culminating in the band winning the recent Future Sound Of Nottingham which saw them open this year's Splendour Festival. While it's still only early days, their future looks bright as 2011 heads towards its final quarter.
It's also good to see teenage four-piece Great British Weather taking giant steps forward, as their new Current Climate EP highlights. Having won a local Battle of the Bands competition at the tail end of 2010 for which DiS were one of the judges, their sound has blossomed over the ensuing nine months into a post-punk math rock behemoth of exceptional proportions. Listen for yourselves below...
We're also getting quite excited about Long Dead Signal, a five-piece who play moody atmospheric rock in the vein of Jeff Buckley fronting The Horrors (post-2009 version, of course). With influences stretching from the post-rock structures of Mogwai through krautrock's altruistic loops to the movie score orchestrations of Ennio Morricone and John Barry, they've every chance of becoming Nottingham's next export. Listen to 'Again & Again' below:-
In the meantime, expect a busy few months ahead with the likes of Fists, Red Shoe Diaries, Frontiers and I Am Lono all foraging away in the studio as we speak.
Before we go for this installment, let's not forget the avalanche of gigs about to take place in the city this autumn. Listed below are just a small selection which has got us hot under the collar. The next Drowned In Nottingham will be live sometime in November so please keep sending those listings, release dates, news stories and links through.
Finally, here's the new video from Nottingham-formed lo-fi punks Prize Pets, which we happen to like very much. Bye for now!

Another first?
But seriously, folks. Did anyone think that a marriage with a guy who would leave his pregnant-with-his-second-child wife would last?
I hope she has a ball-scrunching pre-nup. And a bar of soap for that dirty-looking scumbag.
*shock* *surprise*
Yawn. Shallow, stupid, morally bankrupt kids get hitched...and here is the result.
Does anyone really care about these people's problems?
(Apparently, they do, judging by the tabloid rack at the supermarket.)
But you never actually see anyone buy the tabloids. I think the store managers just burn them in the dead of night to make room for the new ones. Or else they just tear the pages apart and re-staple them with a new page on top to make it look like a new issue. They all have the same crap in them anyway.
I, for one, cannot believe all of the *yawn, what else is new* comments on this thread. My entire live and everything I hold dear is wrapped tightly around the success of Brit and Kev's romance. These two are modern-day Chuck and Di's. I am agast--appauled--at the cold and callous commentary that Kev is a swinging playdude who left one pretty thing in the lurch for another pretty thing, then left her in the lurch for a...Hey, look, something shiny!!
"they have been rowing non-stop..."
see, KFed is helping her get back into shape!
I get the sense that she's whining more about not being able to go out and play too than about his not being home to help.
Goog L - I seem to recall that she didn't get a pre-nup. She said she doesn't believe in them. I think she thought it took all the romance out of things. Silly little girl.
Britney: While you've been out playing all day, I've been here making sure the nanny takes care of the baby, and I'm exhausted. I don't think you know how hard this is for me.
Kevin: Why do you stop being so selfish and think about my personal assistant's needs for once?? I keep having to have him reschedule everything.
*Why don't you stop...
"They have been rowing non-stop"
What, does one not feather the oars?
(Okay, obscure, I know . . .)
Britney incompetent and unprepared for motherhood?
Kevin irresponsible, shallow, immature and hygenically(?) challenged? Come on!!! Give these young people a chance!!
Why, I remember it as if it were just yesterday when those two lovebirds got married in that lovely ceremony with all the attendants wearing "PIMP" on their white straitjacket wedding duds. . .
Honestly, you people are way too harsh!
MKJ- yes, a bit obscure. (At least for me.) I even tried googling, and nothin'. Explain please!
OK - everyone who's surprisd by this raise your hands.
*sees no hands*
Thought so.
That's a Lewis Carroll reference from Alice in Wonderland, I think.
Nooooooo!! Brit n' Feder-cletus have to stay together until after Halloween, or it will totally BLOW my Halloween costume. Mr. Jillywilly and I are taking our fashion guidance from gofugyourself.com
(cont'd from previous message due to a technical difficulty)
... and we already have messy blonde wig (in which I look positively hideous), little goatee thingy, tattoos, purse dog, possible stunt baby and several cans of Red Bull. Should be fun, ya'll.
OK - everyone who's surprisd by this raise your hands.
*sits on hands.. finishes typing post with toes*
You should see my chiropractor's bill .. the guy loves me.
The biggest surprise, IMHO, is that they made it this far. My comment is more of a side note...
Why do journalists use the poor unforunate spawn's full name every time? There's nothing wrong with the name.. I like it better than what they originally had planned (the whole London/Vegas thing was a bit TMI for me. What were they gonna call the next one? "Bathroom at the Rainbow Room"? Rainbow for short?)
Sean is a fine name, and stands perfectly well on its own, without the need to throw in a middle name to prop it up.
Oh.. and Jilly... we want photos.
Because things occur to me AFTER I hit post, I forgot to suggest that if they do split before Halloween, invite along a couple of friends dressed in business suits and introduce them as Barbie and Ken's .. ummm I mean Brit & Kev's divorce lawyers.
"Possible stunt baby"
Need more info, please. And yes, we want photos.
'Bathroom at the Rainbow Room'... snork!!
And, my friends, photos you shall have. (sorry, lapsing into Yoda for some reason)
Seriously? No pre-nup? There's got to be a dumb blonde joke in there somewhere.
Obscure, yes, but if you hadn't said it, I would have ...
besides which, mebbe all that rowing has made them too tarred ... (even more obscure pun) ...
Sunny - of course there's a dumb blonde joke in there. It's Britney!
Yep, the give-a-crap meter is reading zero on this one. Kinda like the world series w/o NY.
(For me personally, that is. I'm not trying to speak for America here.
How's the FFL team AN?
*Hopes it's not a bad subject*
Honestly, is the Fame Clock running slow? I would have thought her 15 minutes were up a LOOOONG time ago - and take that skank Paris Hilton with her.
*going off now to rant at the trees*
I am stunned that guys who dump the mothers of their children for some hot thing then go on to dump the hot thing as soon as she becomes the mother of more of their children. It's so unpredictable! Shocking, really. I mean, how could Britney have ever forseen this? Shar, I hope you are VERY MUCH enjoying the "I told you so" phase.
Louis - hope springs eternal...I need at least 40 points from my running backs tonight to beat my opponent, who (this week) just happens to be my husband.
Aunt Nancy~ My sister's fantasy football team once beat a league that was almost all guys; mostly guys she knew from college and including her fiance. It was a great day for her. Hope you experience the same. Good luck! :-)

Welcome to Free Spyware - Your guide to free security tools
Free Spyware is a one-stop-shop for information on some of the best free security tools the web has to offer. To get more information about what spyware is and how to prevent spyware visit our spyware prevention page.
Free Anti-Spyware Software
Spybot Search and Destroy
Spybot Search and Destroy is one of the original and still one of the best free anti-spyware removal tools. Spybot not only roots out spyware but immunises Internet Explorer against future threats. With a regularly updated database, and a whole host of continuing improvements, Spybot is definitely one to put on your shortlist. For beginners, the simple and intuitive interface is easy to get to grips with, with one-click buttons to check for problems and search for updates, it couldn't be easier. For more advanced users, switching to advanced mode gives access to a secure shredder, registry scanner, IE tweaks and a whole host of advanced features.
Ad-Aware Free
Another efficient and popular free anti-spyware tool, Ad-Aware's roots can be traced back as far as 1999. With over a quarter of a billion downloads and counting you can be sure this program is no slouch at detecting and removing spyware, malware, trojans, worms and the like.
Offering free support, free software updates and a program which doesn't prove to be a resource hog, Ad-Aware is well worth the download. Added features include TrackSweep, a one-click privacy feature, making Ad-Aware a well rounded tool in your arsenal against spyware.
One of the lesser know but still one of the most thorough free anti-spyware tools SUPERAntiSpyware claims to 'remove all the spyware, not just the easy ones.' SUPERAntiSpyware detects and removes spyware, adware, malware, trojans, dialers, worms, keyloggers, hijackers and parasites to name but a few. A host of scanning options are available including quick, complete and custom scanning, which can be allocated to any drive, including removable ones.
SUPERAntiSpyware also enables you to repair broken Internet connections, won't conflict with existing anti-spyware or anti-virus software and doesn't hog system resources. If you want to thoroughly scan your system for spyware then it's worth giving SUPERAntiSpyware a try.
Spyware Terminator
Spyware terminator detects and removes spyware using a rating system, enabling you to see the level of threat each entry has before removal. Features of Spyware Terminator include automatic updates, scheduled scans, anti-virus integration with Clan anti-virus, free email support and a helpful forum. Spyware Terminator also comes with an optional web security guard feature which warns against phishing sites as you browse. For a free anti-spyware toolkit Spyware Terminator offers an exceptional breadth and depth of free features. Moreover, with free immunisation and real-time protection also included, there are many compelling reasons why it is becoming a popular security download.
Microsoft Security Essentials
Microsoft Security Essentials is an all-in-one security suite which includes anti-spyware and anti-virus software for free. Originally named Microsoft OneCare the software is only a little over a 4MB download with free automatic updates. The software quietly works in the background to provide real time protection without hogging system resources. Microsoft provides 32 bit versions for Windows XP as well as 32 and 64 bit versions for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Once installed it is advisable to download the latest updates, run a quick scan and have a look at tweaking those scheduling settings to suit your own preferences.
Malwarebytes is another big hitter in the free anti-spyware market. One of the most popular downloads on download.com, Malwarebytes is an effective free anti-spyware software which provides scanning for multiple drives, network drives and scan-on-demand for individual files. The FileAssasin tool is also particularly useful for removing locked files and is available under the more tools menu. It is important to note that the free version does not offer real-time updates or the ability to schedule updates and scans. Malwarebytes supports Windows XP, and Windows Vista and 7, 32 and 64 bit versions. Quick scans can be performed in under 8 minutes and the tabular interface provides quick, intuitive access to most features within the program.
Spyware Prevention
SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard are both excellent programs which are dedicated to this task.
SpywareBlaster prevents ActiveX-based spyware such as dialers and hijackers from downloading and SpywareGuard, gives overall prevention from spyware attacks.
For more experienced users, HijackThis provides a log of all the spyware which exists on your computer. For more information on this program head over to http://www.webuser.co.uk/specials/63637.html However, you must have your log analysed properly before making any changes to your system.
IMPORTANT: It is advisable to run only one form of real-time spyware guard at any time. If you run two simultaneously this may lead to a slow down in performance of your computer. Also, make sure your spyware software is regularly updated to ensure maximum protection. One disadvantage of free spyware removers is that they often need to be updated manually.

Salsify, not the most attractive thing I've ever seen but considering how long it's actually taken to get it, I'm not going to concern myself too much about the superficial. Here in Australia finding it commercially is an almost impossible task and they do tend to sell as soon as word gets round that they are available. Due to its rarity it is also a pricey ingredient.
One of closest relatives of Salsify is used to produce rubber and salsify itself has a sticky, latex-like sap that is released when peeled. This sap can also stain your hands so it's best to tackle this task using gloves. It's also necessary that once peeled you keep it in acidulated water to stop it from discolouring.
While I've read that some think it tastes a bit like oyster, which explains one of its other names Oyster plant, I think it's more akin to Jerusalem artichoke in flavour.
When it comes to cooking with salsify I'm at a bit of a disadvantage as I only have this one root. Recipes for fritters and gratin did interest me but I really don't have enough salsify to attempt them. So I decided to make the dish a treat for one.
Mushrooms are a good companion to salsify so I've paired it with lovely Shimeji and if you wanted to make this a bit more indulgent as salsify loves truffle, you could easily add it to this dish.
1 salsify root
handful shimeji mushrooms
sage leaves
sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
thick slices of sour dough, grilled (or toasted)
Prepare the salsify:
You can apparently boil the root and once cooked through, you can peel the skin off. As I've got one of these vegetable peeling sponges I've used that to gently remove the skin and dirt. On harder to remove places I've used a regular vegetable peeler. Once peeled I've rubbed it with a cut lemon, sliced it into four equal pieces and placed it in acidulated water.
Boil the salsify in this acidulated water until tender - the time taken will depend on the thickness of the root. Let them sit in the water until ready to use.
Make the toast:
Slice your bread thickly, roughly dot the surface with a little butter and place on a hot grill. When browned, add a little more butter to uncooked side and flip to brown. Once cooked, place on a wire rack until ready to assemble.
Make the topping:
Remove the salsify from the water and cut in on the diagonal to form even slices. Place a good knob of butter in a skillet over a medium heat and when the butter has melted and is starting to sizzle, tip in the sliced salsify. Turn the heat down and sauté gently until golden. Remove the salsify from the pan, increase the heat slightly and add in the sage leaves, followed by the shimeji. Stir these frequently so that they colour but don't lose their moisture. Add back the salsify, season with sea salt and white ground pepper and then tumble this over the toasted bread.
This is best served as soon as you make it - you could also add a poached egg if you wanted something a little more substantial.

Apple wins permanent injunction against clone Mac maker Psystar
The ruling comes after both parties presented their oral arguments Monday afternoon before U.S. District Judge William Alsup. The judge banned Psystar from:
- Copying, selling, offering to sell, distributing or creating derivative works of Mac OS X without authorization from Apple.
- Intentionally inducing, aiding, assisting, abetting or encouraging any other person or entity to infringe Apple's copyrighted Mac OS X software.
- Circumventing any technological measure that effectively controls access Mac OS X, including, but not limited to, the technological measure used by Apple to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X on non-Apple computers.
- Playing any part in a product intended to circumvent Apple's methods for controlling Mac OS X, such as the methods used to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X on non-Apple computers.
- Doing anything to circumvent the rights held by Apple under the Copyright Act with respect to Mac OS X.
Alsup ruled that Psystar must comply with these by midnight on Dec. 31, 2009 at the latest. The Florida corporation has been ordered to immediately begin the process and take the quickest path to compliance.
Whether those statements apply to Psystar's Rebel EFI software, a $50 application that allows certain Intel-powered PCs to run Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, remains to be seen. Apple had hoped to ban Psystar from the sale of the software and alleged that Psystar had been "trafficking in circumvention devices." From his statements, Alsup would seem inclined to agree with Apple, but the judge refused to specifically mention the software in his ruling.
Alsup said he did so because Psystar's statements to the court avoided saying specifically what Rebel EFI does, so the judge felt it was inappropriate for him to determine whether the software falls within the scope of the injunction. However, he said the company's argument that it has a right to sell and distribute the software is weak, and likely would not hold up if properly tested in court.
"Whether such a defense would be successful on the merits, or face preclusion or other hurdles, this order cannot predict," Alsup said. "What is certain, however, is that until such a motion is brought, Psystar will be selling Rebel EFI at its peril, and risks finding itself in contempt if its new venture falls within the scope of the injunction."
The writing was on the wall for Psystar in November, when the court sided with Apple on a number of summary judgment points. Alsup, at that point, concluded that Psystar infringed on the copyrights owned by Apple and was in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act — a decision that was reiterated in Tuesday's injunction.
Earlier this month, Psystar and Apple entered into a partial settlement in which the company agreed to pay $2.7 million in damages. While the settlement led to the end of sales for unauthorized hardware with Mac OS X, the payout — and the fate of Rebel EFI — are likely to be decided in a separate lawsuit filed by Psystar against Apple in Florida. In that suit, Psystar has alleged that Apple engaged in "anticompetitive attempts to tie Mac OS X Snow Leopard to its Macintosh line of computers."

You haven't been feeling so great for the last few days, and you've had a runny nose and a cough. Then one morning you wake up and stumble into the bathroom. You look in the mirror with blurry eyes and — yikes! You have chickenpox!
What Is Chickenpox?
Chickenpox is caused by a virus called varicella zoster. People who get the virus often develop a rash of spots that look like blisters all over their bodies. The blisters are small and sit on an area of red skin that can be anywhere from the size of a pencil eraser to the size of a dime.
You've probably heard that chickenpox are itchy. It's true. The illness also may come along with a runny nose and cough. But the good news is that chickenpox is a common illness for kids, and most get better by resting just like you do with a cold or the flu.
And the really good news is that, thanks to the chickenpox vaccine, lots of kids don't get chickenpox at all. Kids who do get it after they've gotten the shot often get less severe cases, which means they get better quicker.
What Happens When You Have Chickenpox?
Chickenpox may start out seeming like a cold: You might have a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and a cough. But 1 to 2 days later, the rash begins, often in bunches of spots on the chest and face. From there it can spread out quickly over the entire body — sometimes the rash is even in a person's ears and mouth.
The number of pox is different for everyone. Some people get just a few bumps; others are covered from head to toe. At first, the rash looks like pinkish dots that quickly develop a small blister on top (a blister is a bump on your skin that fills up with fluid). After about 24 to 48 hours, the fluid in the blisters gets cloudy and the blisters begin to crust over.
Chickenpox blisters show up in waves, so after some begin to crust over, a new group of spots might appear. New chickenpox usually stop appearing by the seventh day, though they may stop as early as the third day. It usually takes 10–14 days for all the blisters to be scabbed over and then you are no longer contagious.
Besides the rash, someone with chickenpox might also have a stomachache, a fever, and may just not feel well.
How Does Chickenpox Spread?
Chickenpox is contagious, meaning that someone who has it can easily spread it to someone else. Someone who has chickenpox is most contagious during the first 2 to 5 days of being sick. That's usually about 1 to 2 days before the rash shows up. So you could be spreading around chickenpox without even knowing it!
A person who has chickenpox can pass it to someone else by coughing or sneezing. When he or she coughs, sneezes, laughs, and even talks, tiny drops come out of the mouth and nose. These drops are full of the chickenpox virus. It's easy for others to breathe in these drops or get them on their hands. Before you know it, the chickenpox virus has infected someone new.
Itchy-Itchy, Scratchy-Scratchy
If you are that unlucky person, how do you keep your chickenpox from driving you crazy? They itch, but you're not supposed to scratch them.
These tips can help you feel less itchy:
- Keep cool because heat and sweat will make you itch more. You might want to put a cool, wet washcloth on the really bad areas.
- Trim your fingernails, so if you do scratch, you won't tear your skin.
- Soak in a lukewarm bath. Adding some oatmeal to your bath water can help relieve the itching.
- Have your mom or dad help you apply calamine lotion, which soothes itching.
Don't Scratch
Scratching the blisters can tear your skin and leave scars. Scratching also can let germs in, and the blisters could get infected. If your fever goes higher and an area of your skin gets really red, warm, and painful, tell an adult right away. You'll need to see a doctor because you could have a skin infection.
While you have the chickenpox, a pain reliever like acetaminophen might help you feel better, but let your parents help you with this.
Do not take aspirin, because it can cause a rare but serious illness in kids called Reye syndrome. Medicines and creams that may stop the itch can also be helpful.
It doesn't usually happen, but let your parents know if you feel especially bad. Sometimes, chickenpox leads to other, more serious illnesses.
Most kids don't have any major problems and get better in a week or two. And when all the blisters have scabs, you're not contagious anymore and you can go back to school! In a few days, the scabs will fall off. And once you've had chickenpox, it's unlikely you'll ever get it again.
Get a Shot, Avoid the Dots!
Not long ago, 3 million people got chickenpox each year in the United States. But now that kids receive the shot, fewer and fewer people get chickenpox.
Have you had the chickenpox vaccine? You might not remember because it's often given at age 1. But you can get it when you're older, too. Ask your mom or dad if you've had yours. You'll be glad that you did if chickenpox starts making its way around your school!

After a slow, steady grind higher throughout the month of January, stocks hit a rough patch at the end of last week. Since then, the S&P 500 has been trading sideways.
We have noted how, based on weekly data from BofA Merrill Lynch, it appears that hedge funds have been sellers of stocks for the last several weeks, while on the flip-side of the coin, individual investors have been buying up stocks at a rapid pace over the same timeframe.
Now – coincident with the "rough patch" the S&P 500 has run into (the market hasn't really gone down, just sideways) – those roles appear to have reversed.
According to the latest data from BofA Merrill Lynch, hedge funds became net buyers of stocks, while individual investors have started selling – taking profits, BofA suggests.
The chart below shows the role reversal:
Which stocks are hedge funds buying? BofA says activity is concentrated in consumer discretionaries, industrials, energy, and healthcare:
Meanwhile, the biggest selling by private clients was concentrated in consumer discretionaries, tech, financials, and industrials.
Thus, it looks like hedge funds were willing to take the other side of those trades in at least two instances.
