Work that does not require a building permit – Removal of debris from on or in a structure, minor demolition to prevent injury or further damage to buildings, structural shoring and bracing, replacement of broken windows and doors, minor non-structural repairs made to the exterior of structures, repair of minor water leaks that do not involve structural, mechanical or electrical systems.
Emergency Mechanical and Electrical repairs – Where equipment replacement or electrical repairs must be made in an emergency situation, a properly licensed contractor may perform the work while onsite and submit a permit application within 48 hours of completing the repairs. Please note that power releases and required inspections will not be performed until the work has been permitted.
Buildings with structural damage – Due to the dynamic nature and wide ranging impacts of structural damage, buildings that require structural repairs will be assessed on a case by case basis. To expedite this process, permit applicants are encouraged to provide photographs of damaged areas to assist County staff in determining what construction documents will be required for permit approval.
Questions concerning permit requirements should be sent via email to wbcodes@bcgov.net or by calling the Beaufort County Building Codes Office at 843-255-2065.


No news is good news, the old saying goes.
That seems to be especially true in today's economy. Even positive stories are prefaced with mentions of the miserable, terrible, challenging economy.
So today we're launching a new editorial campaign that we're calling "Good reasons" — as in good reasons to shop in Hinsdale.
At least once a month we'll write a story about something positive going on in Hinsdale's business community. We might share tips from a store owner who has been particularly successful or one who has innovative ideas for bringing in customers.
Other stories might present gift ideas for an upcoming holiday or offer an update on what's happening in the business district. We'll also take a look at the efforts of the Hinsdale Chamber of Commerce, Hinsdale Economic Development Commission and village staff to keep Hinsdale's commercial areas vibrant.
A question and answer session with the new village president and new trustees also might be part of the series.
Our first story in the series will be on the new 3/50 Project Economic Stimulus Plan recently adopted by the Hinsdale Chamber of Commerce. The program encourages residents to spent $50 each month in their three favorite stores in town. The chamber is the first in Illinois to sign on the project's Web page (www.the350project.net) as a supporter.
We hope you've seen some of the ads that also are part of this effort. Last week's listed seven good reasons to have breakfast or lunch in Hinsdale. This week's highlights five good reasons to buy shoes in Hinsdale.
Each article will be accompanied by the logo you see on this page. We hope that writing regularly about Hinsdale's businesses will help bring more people out to patronize them.
Everyone knows sales tax revenue helps support village operations, but the business districts are important for other reasons.
According to the 3/50 Web site, $68 of every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenses. A healthy downtown also is the sign of a healthy community and helps keep home values high.
Too many residents we've talked to don't know all the downtown, Grant Square and Gateway Square have to offer. Our stories and advertisements are designed to help remedy that problem.
So keep reading — and keep shopping.

And thank God the military allows us to wander around in some of these places ~ either for a day, a long weekend, or a 3-year tour!

Opinion from outside the UK user: Martrans
Car used for international transport. Main destinations Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany. The tyres have covered a distance of 70,000 km. The tyres on the rear axle show practically no wear. On the front axle, there is 6 mm left (wear indicator on the tyre). With a clear conscience, you can replace the tyres on the axles next season and do another 70,000 km. With 6 mm remaining on the front axle, you need to be careful on wet surfaces as the ASR is activated when you press down hard on the gas. I own a 180 hp Ducato. The load index is fully sufficient for transporting loads weighing up to 1.3t. I would recommend buying these tyres.

Opinion from outside the UK user: Tomasz Wiśniewski
For several years, I have been buying Nokian tyres for box-type vans on Oponeo.p (buses with tarpaulins). Nokian tyres have a relatively long service life, are virtually faultless, and perform very well on both wet and dry roads. The average mileage is 50,000 km for summer tyres and 35,000 - 40,000 km for winter tyres. An excellent tyre for those who value comfort, safety and longevity.
The best tyres in their class. The price/quality ratio is an A. I have been using these tyres for 3 years, both winter and summer. They are reliable. The total distance covered with these tyres is about 120,000 km a year. It is only necessary to keep an eye on the correct pressure of 5.2-5.5 bar and the set is sufficient for a season of intensive use.
Opinion from outside the UK user: Artur
A very nice tyre that I can safely recommend. Moderate price, excellent parameters. They could be a bit quieter (previously I had Continental tyres which were quiet, but the Continental quality was very poor, they wore out quickly, the layers peeled off...) All in all, this is the second set of Nokian tyres that I am satisfied with.
Opinion from outside the UK user: Wojciech Małkowski
I am pleasantly surprised as this is a tyre made in Russia. They perform very well on all surfaces. As for a minibus, I drive very fast but not aggressively, mainly on the open road. Compared to the factory tires, it's a real pleasure.
Nokian cLine Cargo features
Nokian cLine Cargo is a robust tyre for driving in the summer season, specifically designed for vans and delivery trucks. A premium-range tyre benefits from modern technology and gives the highest level of performance. It's robust, and offers great stability even under the duress of frequent day-to-day driving, associated with business use. This tyre is engineered for heavy vehicles with large payloads.
Nokian cLine Cargo is built using a clinch rubber compound. This flexible compound improves the bead area when transporting heavy loads. It also reduces noise within the cabin of the vehicle, as it reduces vibrations from the tyre. This ensures a quieter ride.
Nokian cLine Cargo is made with triangular support and this stiffens the shoulder area of the tyre. Under the pressure of heavy loads, this technology ensures the tyre maintains its shape and wears more uniformly over its lifespan.
Nokian cLine Cargo uses purified oils in the tyre's composition. This equates to environmentally friendliness, as no harmful chemicals are used in the production of the tyre.


R. faberi sens. Hort. Veitch., not Hemsl.
Native of W. Szechwan, China; discovered by Pratt near Tatsien-lu (Kangting); introduced by Wilson in 1904. It is quite hardy at Kew and flowers regularly; the foliage is handsome, but the colouring is not particularly effective. The large membranous calyx is distinctive. Wilson describes it as a woodland species and it undoubtedly needs partial shade. It has been very much confused in gardens with R. faberi, owing to its having been wrongly identified with that species in the Plantae Wilsonianae, vol. i, p. 533, and distributed from the Coombe Wood Nursery under that name. The true R. faberi is distinct in the thicker woolly tomentum beneath the leaf and is rare in cultivation.
On April 18, 1967, the Award of Merit was given to a seedling of R. prattii exhibited by Major A. E. Hardy, Sandling Park, Kent, and named 'Perry Wood'.

            {
                MessageBox.Show(msg.RequestDenied);
            }
        }

A: It looks like you may well be trying to create your own connection pooling. Don't do that:

*

*Use using statements for all disposable resources. That includes SqlConnection and SqlCommand. That way, even if an exception is thrown, the resource is disposed

*Create a new SqlConnection for each database operation, and let the system manage pooling the real network connections.

It's not clear what db.con(...) and db.conEstablished are, but it sounds like you've quite possibly got a single connection - which means that you can't use this code safely in a multi-threaded environment. It's fine to have a helper method to create a SqlConnection, but it should just create a new one each time, which is then disposed when the operation has been completed.
Additionally, you should start following .NET naming conventions, and this code:
if (Status == true)
{
    MessageBox.Show(msg.RequestApproved);
}
else if (Status == false)
{
    MessageBox.Show(msg.RequestDenied);
}

... would be better written as:
MessageBox.Show(Status ? msg.RequestApproved : msg.RequestDenied);

A: using is the "proper" way to handle disposable objects like the SqlConnection.
Part of the problem with your code is that if the query causes an exception, then this line will be skipped, because the exception will break out of the method:
cmd0.Dispose();

When using using the dispose will always be called, even if an exception exits the block (internally it just wraps the code in a try/catch and puts the call to .Dispose() in the catch block.)
Also you should note that the SqlConnection class handles pooling internally. It is not actually a single open network connection to the DB.

A: Your code should look something like this.  Obviously I've got variables here that are defined elsewhere but hopefully this gives you a better idea of how to use using
using(var dbconn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
    using (var dbcmd = new SqlCommand(storedProcedure, dbconn))
    {
        dbcmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        dbcmd.Parameters.AddRange(sqlParameters.ToArray());
        dbconn.Open();
        return dbcmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
}

Why Google is making its own messaging app for Android: Why Google can't get rid of Facebook
In an age when everyone has a smartphone, messaging apps have long been an important part of the online ecosystem.
But Google is trying to change that.
Last week, the company announced that it would be making its first messaging app, Instant Messenger, for Android.
The announcement was made to developers of mobile messaging apps to help build the app's platform for the platform's new messaging platform called Instant Duo.
Google has built its own apps for Android for the past few years, but the company has only launched apps for the mobile platform once before: in March 2015, the Google Calendar app was launched on Android for smartphones.
Since then, Google has made a few major changes to its mobile messaging app.
In December 2015, Google introduced a new unified search experience on Android, and Android users will be able to access the app without having to install Google Apps.
In January, the first versions of Google's messaging app launched on iOS.
The first Android app, Google+ Messenger, was released in April 2016, and Google has been slowly adding new apps to its Android app store.
This is not a huge surprise as Google has long been a leader in the messaging app space, having launched a handful of messaging apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry.
Google+ Messenger is a new app that has yet to hit the Google Play Store, but is expected to arrive sometime in the first half of 2017.
In the meantime, there are a few reasons why Google might be making an Android app:The app is already live on Google Play.
Instant Messenger is already available for iOS users.
Instant Duo, on the other hand, will be launched on Google's new Instant Duo platform, which is a much more complete messaging app experience.
When we first heard about Google's announcement last week, we thought Instant Messenger was a bit strange.
After all, Google is still building its own app store for mobile messaging, and it would make sense for it to build a messaging app in addition to building a messaging platform.
However, we think this could be a smart move for Google to build its own service and for Google+ to build up its user base.
The app will launch on Google Apps, Google's app store, which makes it easy to install and use.
Instant messenger will be available for Android devices, but will only be available to Android users.
The Google+ app will work with Google's own messaging platform, Google Duo, which will let Google users send messages and share links to your Google+ profile, as well as to the apps on your phone.
Google Duo is not available on Apple iOS, and is still in beta on Windows Phone.
Instant messaging is an important aspect of the messaging ecosystem because it allows you to have direct, personal communication with other people in real time.
Instant messaging is also a major feature of the new Google Photos app, which launches in the coming weeks.
Instant messages will also be available on the new Photos app.
We don't think Google has done enough to make Instant Messenger a viable app.
Google+ is an incredibly popular app, and its success is being used to build an entire messaging ecosystem.
Google's strategy for making a messaging service that competes directly with Facebook's Facebook Messenger could have an unintended consequence.
Instant message apps can compete with messaging services like Facebook Messenger for users because they have a similar user experience and functionality.
But the messaging apps Google makes will likely not be competitive with Facebook Messenger in the same way that other messaging apps will be.
Google could make an app that competates directly with the messaging services that Facebook offers.
For example, Google could create an Instant Messenger competitor for Facebook Messenger, which would allow users to receive instant messages without having the Facebook Messenger app installed on their phone.
This would allow for more users to share instant messages, and a more streamlined experience for users.
Google could also offer users more options to share messages, like sharing a link to your Facebook profile.
While Google's Instant Messenger will be the first app in the new Instant Duos messaging platform to launch on Android phones, there will be more apps in the future that will compete directly with Google+ for users, such as a Google Duo competitor for WhatsApp.
If Google decides to build out its messaging app platform on Android devices in the near future, it will need to build it out in a way that does not cannibalize users of Facebook Messenger.
We will continue to monitor this development closely, and we will provide updates as necessary.

PSPK 30: Movie with Pawan Kalyan.. Another director who joined hands with Harish Shankar
Until yesterday, there was a good relationship between the fans of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and director Harish Shankar. I don't want to say why. The combination of the two has announced the movie Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers. Everyone thought that it was the next step. But another news has come out. Harish Shankar is going to remake the Tamil movie Theri with Pawan Kalyan. With this, Pawan Kalyan fans started lashing out at Harish on social media. They expressed their displeasure in the form of comments saying that Theri remake is a bad boy. But some others have condemned this news. They said that they should not believe such news without an official announcement.
In this context, director Harish Shankar met Pawan Kalyan with the producers of Mythri Movie Makers on Friday. They went to Ramoji Film City where Hari Hara Veera Mallu is being shot and met. Talked something with Pawan. Photos related to that have also come out. With this, the fans and movie buffs are eagerly waiting for any news regarding Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar. In such a moment, Harish Shankar informed an interesting thing. Another director is also going to work in the film he is going to do with Pawan Kalyan. He is not who he is.. Dasharath who has worked in films like Santosam and Mr Perfect.
Basically Harish Shankar is a good writer. He is known to write powerful dialogues. Dasarath (Dasaradh) has also been added to him now. We have to wait and see why Harish and the makers took this decision. It is already known that a new movie directed by Sujeeth has been announced with Pawan Kalyan as the hero. Along with this, Pawan Kalyan has given the green signal for the upcoming film with Harish Shankar and Mythri Movie Makers. All that remains is the announcement.

"I can only repeat — I am much obliged."
"It is proper I should tell you," Madame de Bellegarde went on, "that I am very proud, and that I hold my head very high. I may be wrong, but I am too old to change. At least I know it, and I don't pretend to anything else. Don't flatter yourself that my daughter is not proud. She is proud in her own way — a somewhat different way from mine. You will have to make your terms with that. Even Valentin is proud, if you touch the right spot — or the wrong one. Urbain is proud; that you see for yourself. Sometimes I think he is a little too proud; but I wouldn't change him. He is the best of my children; he cleaves to his old mother. But I have said enough to show you that we are all proud together. It is well that you should know the sort of people you have come among."
"If you stick to your own side of the contract we shall not quarrel; that is all I ask of you," said Newman. "Keep your hands off, and give me an open field. I am very much in earnest, and there is not the slightest danger of my getting discouraged or backing out. You will have me constantly before your eyes; if you don't like it, I am sorry for you. I will do for your daughter, if she will accept me everything that a man can do for a woman. I am happy to tell you that, as a promise — a pledge. I consider that on your side you make me an equal pledge. You will not back out, eh?"
"I don't know what you mean by 'backing out,'" said the marquise. "It suggests a movement of which I think no Bellegarde has ever been guilty."
"Your mother has given me leave — very solemnly — to come here often," he said. "I mean to come often."
"I shall be glad to see you," she answered, simply. And then, in a moment. "You probably think it very strange that there should be such a solemnity — as you say — about your coming."
"Do you remember what my brother Valentin said, the first time you came to see me — that we were a strange, strange family?"
"It was not the first time I came, but the second," said Newman.
Valentin broke into a laugh. "I am delighted to hear it! I win my bet. Mademoiselle Noemie has thrown her cap over the mill, as we say. She has left the paternal domicile. She is launched! And M. Nioche is rather cheerful — FOR HIM! Don't brandish your tomahawk at that rate; I have not seen her nor communicated with her since that day at the Louvre. Andromeda has found another Perseus than I. My information is exact; on such matters it always is. I suppose that now you will raise your protest."
But his tone found no echo in that in which Valentin, with his hand on the door, to return to his mother's apartment, exclaimed, "But I shall see her now! She is very remarkable — she is very remarkable!"

AIShred Pre-Shredder for Large-Volume and Bulky Pieces of Waste Wood Processing
Sep 3, 2022 74 AIShred info@aishred.com
GEP ECOTECH has developed the AIShred Pre Shredder for the pre-shredding of such large-volume and bulky wooden components. This can be combined with its single-shaft shredder and can thus increase throughput by up to 50 percent.
With its powerful and large single-shaft shredders, AIShred offers efficient solutions for reliably processing large-volume wooden components such as pallets in continuous operation. However, it was absolutely necessary to select a larger machine for large and bulky components, which also required a correspondingly larger installation area than the new combined solution. "In addition to the large space requirement, there is another point that needs to be considered. We have a relatively low throughput when shredding these load carriers if we feed them directly to a shredder," says Ethan, Area Sales Manager at GEP Ecotech. The reason: Due to the construction of the pallets with spaced boards and skids, "there is a lot of space between the material". The crushing process thus takes a relatively long time.
Not cut, but broken
The requirements of material and distribution centers in particular, but also of DIY stores, which often use disposable pallets, have increased significantly. For this reason, the machine manufacturer has now developed an efficient pre-shredder. "We have set ourselves the goal of increasing the throughput when shredding bulky pallets or crates by up to 50 percent. We did it," says Ethan. To do this, they are not cut in the shredder, but broken. Pre-shredded, they are further reduced. This creates enormous advantages in the shredding process, and the customer benefits from the reduced quantities of wearing parts.
The processing capacity of the pre-shredder series from 10 to 100 ton per hour. "If there is a brief excess torque during operation, both rotors can reverse independently of each other. In this way, we ensure an efficient and continuous process flow," sums up Ethan.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Sophomores Rebecca Moss, Lidia Gocheva and John Gurrieri and junior Michael Pearce earned All-Ivy honors Sunday. Moss, Gurrieri and Pearce were all named to the 1st Team, while Gocheva made the 2nd Team.
The selections were made according to a fencer's record in the round robin Ivy League team championship that took place over two days, Feb. 3 in New Haven, Conn., and Feb. 10 in Princeton, N.J. The fencers with the best three records were named to the 1st Team. Those with the next three best records were named to the 2nd team. Fencers had to have competed in 75 percent of their team's bouts. That means that the men must have had at least 12 decisions on their Ivy record, and the women must have had at least 14 decisions.
Moss, Gurrieri and Pearce each tallied the second best record with their respective weapons.
Moss, a sophomore from Mesa, Ariz., went 12-3 over the two day span to lead the Bulldog epee squad. Columbia's Maryna Urbanowicz posted a 16-2 mark. Jasjit Bhinder (Princeton) and Maria Larsson (Harvard) rounded out the 1st Team with matching 13-5 records.
Gurrieri, also a sophomore, from Medford, N.J., went 11-4 during Ivy League competition. His record with the foil was bettered by only one other fencer, Columbia's Kurt Getz (12-3).
Junior epeeist, Michael Pearce, a San Francisco, Calif. native, went 10-2. His .833 winning percentage placed him second among Ivy League epeeists. Columbia's Max Czapanskiy notched a 13-2 tally.
Sophomore foilist, Lidia Gocheva, a Sofia, Bulgaria native, won 12 of 18 bouts to earn 2nd Team All-Ivy honors.

The word Sufi is derived from the Arabic word 'suf' which means ' wool ' and which refers to the coarse woolen robes that were worn by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and by his close companions. The goal of a Sufi is none other than ALLAH (God) Himself. There are signs of ALLAH (God) everywhere in the universe and in man himself.
The origin and essence of man
Man is the mystery of ALLAH (God). For a mysterious purpose, man was outwardly created of clay and ALLAH (God) breathed life into him, and all of the angels were commanded to prostrate themselves before him. As the Qur'an, which we believe is the highest form of revelation, declares:
"And remember when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo I am creating a mortal out of potter's clay. So when I have made him and shaped him and have breathed into him of My Spirit, do ye fall down prostrating yourself unto him."
It is this Divine Spirit which is the essence of man. The body is merely the outward physical form which contains the Divine spark.
The body is made of the material elements fire, earth, air and water, and has five external senses — sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch; and five internal faculties — discursive thinking, imagination, doubting, memory and longing. All these powers, that is, both the external senses and the internal faculties, serve the heart. By the 'heart' we do not mean the physical organ which pumps the blood, and which is possessed by both man and animals. Rather by 'heart' we mean the Divine spark which distinguishes man from the animals. And unlike the physical heart which dies and decomposes with the rest of the physical body, the Divine spark or heart is indivisible and transcends death because its origin is in the spiritual world.
Man: the microcosm
The position of man in the universe is most important. Man is the microcosm, that is, a miniature universe. As such, he comprises in his outward or physical aspect all the elements found in the universe. In his inner aspect, he contains the potential qualities of all creation from the lowest to the highest, that is, animal, satanic and angelic. He shares the qualities of lust and selfishness with the pigs; the qualities of jealousy and anger with the dogs; his cunning and deceit with Satan; his power and his spiritual light with the angels. But, what is more important, through love and devotion to ALLAH (God) he can rise even higher than the angels, for he is the mystery of ALLAH (God) before whom the angels were commanded to fall in prostration. He was given command over the whole universe.
The Qur'an declares:
"It is ALLAH (God) who created the heavens and the earth and sent down out of heaven water, wherewith He brought forth fruits to be your sustenance, and He subjected to you the ships to run upon the sea at His commandment, and He subjected to you the rivers, and He subjected to you the sun and moon constant upon their courses, and He subjected to you the night and the day and gave you all you asked Him."
But although the universe was created for the service of man, man was created for the service of ALLAH (God) and for that purpose alone. To the extent that he deviates from that purpose, he becomes unworthy of Divine guidance and favour. Consequently, he is left to his own devices with all his enormous powers, which, under the influence of his animal and satanic qualities, are capable of dragging him to the lowest of the low.
Sufism helps man to be increasingly aware of his purpose of life — namely, unfailing service to his Lord and Creator. It is a path travelled under the guidance of a Sufi master, who is able to deliver man from the narrow confines of the material world into the limitless reality of a spiritual life, wherein he can experience the Divine spark which eternally shines within him.
It is most important to understand that material man acquires his knowledge generally through the five external senses and five inner faculties of which we spoke earlier. The spiritual man, on the other hand, has, in addition to these, a number of other means of acquiring knowledge, such as prophetic dreams and inspirations from beyond the material world. To the extent that a man adheres to the truth in his waking state, his dreams too disclose a similar degree of certainty. The Prophet (pbuh) expressed this in the saying: "The more truthful a man, the more prophetic his dreams."
Although knowledge through dreams comes in a state of sleep, insights through inspirations are gained in a state of wakefulness. The shaykh, or the Sufi teacher, interprets the dreams of a disciple, helps him to understand his inspirations, and resolves his doubts and uncertainties.
The spiritual mentor (shaykh)
The disciple's need to have a shaykh is inevitable. If a man does not have a shaykh, Satan becomes his shaykh and lures him back into the temptation of his ego and finally destroys him in confusion and error. A disciple keeps unwavering faith in the words of his shaykh and receives infinite love and care from him. The relationship is strictly based on the pattern of the Holy Prophet's (pbuh) relations with his companions which enjoyed Divine support. To quote the Qur'an:
"Now there has come to you a messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is your suffering, anxious is he over you, gentle to the believers, compassionate."
The Qur'anic roots of Sufism
Sufism really has its roots in the Qur'an itself and in the religious experience of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The preliminary signs of revelation were given to the Prophet (pbuh) in the form of visions and the Prophet (pbuh) deliberately sought solitude until the book of his heart, which was pure and unspoiled by schoolmen, was opened and the Divine Pen engraved upon it the revelation, the Qur'an.
The Sufi's knowledge of ALLAH (God) comes from the Qur'an directly. And in spite of the Sufi's proximity to ALLAH (God) the undisputed basis of their direct experience of ALLAH (God) has always been the Qur'an. The Qur'an contains instructions suitable to man with varying levels of spirituality. It satisfies those who are content with merely exoteric practices, but also contains the deepest and most profound esoteric meaning for those who desire a closer, more mystical relationship with ALLAH (God).
The Qur'anic verses which are the favourites of the Sufis include:
"We ALLAH [God] are closer to him [man] than his jugular vein."
"Say, surely we belong toALLAH (God) and to Him do we return."
"He is the First and the Last and the Manifest and the Hidden."
"ALLAH (God) is the light of the heavens and the earth."
Such verses are limitless in their depth, scope and meaning, and man may draw from them as much mystical meaning as he has the capacity to understand.
God says in the Qur'an that ALLAH (God) sent His The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) first and foremost as a Mercy unto all peoples. And men of different levels of spiritual understanding may avail themselves of this Mercy according to their various capacities.
The Prophet (pbuh) and his close associates never stopped at merely observing the minimum requirement in regard to prayer and devotional practices. All through his life, the Prophet (pbuh) kept long night vigils and practised voluntary fasts during most days. He never ate barley bread (the staple food of his day) on three consecutive days, and he never even touched a loaf of wheat bread — which was a luxury. One of his favourite sayings was "Poverty is my pride," and this saying came to be quoted in every manual of Sufi doctrine, making the rule of poverty a basic characteristic of Sufi life.
Significance of remembrance
The Sufis live with an ever increasing awareness of ALLAH (God). One aspect of this awareness is the practice of zikr. Zikr means 'remembering ALLAH (God) usually by pronouncing His name or by uttering a number of recognized formulae. The Qur'an repeatedly admonishes believers to celebrate the praises of God and to do this often. For remembering the name of ALLAH (God) brings satisfaction and comfort to man's heart. The following verse of the Qur'an reveals the significance of zikr:
"Recite that which has been revealed to you of the scripture, and observe prayer. For prayer restrains one from lewdness and iniquity, but remembrance of ALLAH (God) is the greatest virtue."
In one passage of the Qur'an, the importance of zikr is enhanced to such an extent that a response to it from ALLAH (God) Himself is assured:
"Therefore remember Me, and I will remember you."
The Qur'an warns those who neglect zikr: "Whoso blinds himself to the remembrance of the All Merciful, to him we assign Satan for a comrade and debar them from the way, and yet they think they are guided." Again, "Be not as those who forgot ALLAH (God) and so He caused them to forget their own souls. Those, they are ungodly." The key to human happiness lies in the remembrance of ALLAH (God) as in the Qur'anic verse: "Verily, in the remembrance of ALLAH (God) do hearts find peace."
Some orientalists who considered themselves experts on Islam invented the myth that the history of Sufism began with the appearance of certain introductory treatises on the Sufi tradition in the ninth and tenth centuries. In their assessment of the Sufi writings, they failed to give due consideration to the esoteric aspect of the Qur'an and the enormous literature on the sayings and deeds of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), which has inspired the Sufis of all generations.
The history and methodology of Sufism
Sufism is an esoteric doctrine transmitted by word of mouth, and sometimes without even a spoken or written word, by an authorized teacher to a disciple, and from disciple to another disciple, in confidence. These secret instructions are acted upon by a disciple with perfect faith in the teacher. The disciple gives a report of his condition and experience in confidence to his teacher and receives another set of instructions most suitable to his state.
It is only the writings of the Sufi teachers, who speak from within the tradition, that allow an outsider a glimpse of the inner beauty of Sufism. One of the greatest scholars of all times was al-Ghazzali. He lived in the later eleventh and early twelfth centuries. He wrote his famous work The Revival of the Sciences of Religion in Arabic, with an abridged form, The Alchemy of Happiness, in Persian. These works were followed by the other writings and poetry by such Sufi teachers as Abdul-Karim al-Jili, Ibn Arabi, Suhrawardi, the famous Chishti saints, Hafiz, Sadi, Rumi and so many other Sufi poets.
At the same time there was an immense upsurge of open Sufi activity under the auspices of different Sufi orders in all parts of the Islamic world. Each Sufi order constituted a focal point of activity, from which Sufi teachings were carried to the mass of the population by the representatives of the head of the order. The Sufi organizations constituted the social cement of the society in which they lived. Because of the strength of this social cement, Islamic civilization was able not only to withstand the many political upheavals of this period, but it also acted as a civilizing influence on the powers that were responsible for these upheavals.
Suluk: the spiritual journey
This brings us to say something about the Sufi discipline. The first and foremost requirement is the purification of the soul. The process is generally a long and difficult one. It consists of the three stages.
1. The carnal soul:
In the first stage, one struggles against the carnal soul or nafs al-ammara as it is called by the Sufis. Nafs al-ammara is the tendency in man to disobey God, and to take pleasure in evil deed and thought. This inclines man towards gossip, backbiting, vain talk, pride, selfishness, lust, hatred and jealousy. The struggle to overcome nafs al-ammara involves the purifying of the body, tongue, mind and heart.
a) The body is purified by keeping it free from dirt, by preserving its members from harm and by not indulging in sexual license.
b) The tongue must be purified by restraining it from backbiting, malicious gossip and vain talk, or from using it to alter the truth.
c) The mind must be purified by abstaining from suspicion, plotting and thinking ill of others.
d) The heart must be purified by keeping it free from lust, jealousy, greed, selfishness, hatred and pride.
e) In this stage, a Sufi constantly examines the motives of his likes and dislikes.
2. The reproaching soul:
When he has subjugated the carnal soul, nafs al-ammara, the Sufi enters upon the second stage of purification in which he is able to respond readily to the call of the reproaching soul which is called nafs al-lawwama. It is the nafs al-lawwama which reproaches man for his evil deeds and impels him to acts of mercy and generosity.
3.The contented soul:
After this stage has become firmly established in him, the Sufi enters the third stage which is known as the station of the contented soul, nafs al-mutma'inna. In this stage, the Sufi develops to the fullest the tendency to obey God and to act in perfect harmony with His commandments. Here the soul is reconciled with all other stations of the path, such as poverty, patience, gratitude and trust in God. Here the soul finds perfect satisfaction in being governed by the heart, the Divine spark in man. Here the Sufi becomes truly free from fear and grief. As God said in the Qur'an, "Lo, indeed, the friends of God have no fear, nor are they grieved." Fear and grief are qualities of man, and friends of God are relieved of the burden of these qualities. Fearlessly, and with the strength of faith, they invite man to God, the source of man's creation and the goal of his life.
Here lies the difference between a true teacher and a false one — the true teacher invites man to ALLAH (God) and the pretender invites man to himself.
In this stage, a Sufi is filled with love, mercy, kindness, and a burning zeal to help others. In order to reach this high station, a Sufi must constantly strive to control his ego, to curb his anger and impatience. He must eat less, sleep less, talk less, and deny himself the pleasure of other people's company. Sometimes he withdraws completely from the worldly activities and occupies himself entirely with the remembrance of ALLAH (God) and meditation.
As he makes progress spiritually, he is able to extend the length of his periods of seclusion, culminating in retreats of forty days' duration. In this seclusion, the Sufi fasts during the day, breaking his fast after sunset with only a small piece of bread and some water. During the nights, he keeps constant vigil and chants a selected verse from the Qur'an 125,000 times. The verse usually chanted is: "There is no ALLAH (God) but Thou, the Holy Lord. I am indeed one of the evil doers." Or, "Say, He, Allah is One. Allah is Sufficient unto Himself."
Meditation, ecstasy, states, stations and ascension
The various stages on the mystical path are known as maqamat, or the 'stations', which can be reached by any Sufi by means of prayer, fasting, meditation, and the hal or 'mystical state', which may be vouchsafed to the Sufi by the Grace of ALLAH (God) but is not attainable by the mystic's own efforts. A Sufi may be blessed by an experience which reveals to his soul the reality of the whole universe, from the lowest layer of earth to the highest heaven. This experience is called mi'raj or the 'ascension.' In this, a Sufi is generally accompanied by the spirit of his shaykh, and comes in contact with the spirits of other shaykhs and prophets. Various stations are also revealed to him with different colours and lights.
Extinction (fana) and subsistence (baqa):
One of the important phases of mystical experience which is attained by the Grace of ALLAH (God) by a traveller on the mystical path is the state of fana fi Allah, 'extinction of the self in ALLAH (God) which is the transition to the state of baqa billah or the 'eternal life in union with God.' By passing away from self, the individual does not cease to exist, but is permitted to enjoy the supreme mystical experience in union with God. He is fully absorbed into the Love of ALLAH (God) which gives him an everlasting awareness of the all-pervading presence of ALLAH (God)
This doctrine is further explained in an authentic tradition of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) which states that ALLAH(God) said:
Nothing is more pleasing to Me as a means for My slave to draw near unto Me than the worship I have made binding upon him. And My slave does not cease to draw near unto Me with added devotions of his free will until I Love him. And when I Love him, I am the Hearing wherewith he hears, and the Sight wherewith he sees, and the Hand wherewith he smites, and the Foot whereon he walks.
Most Sufis who have gone through this experience have preferred to live eternally in the greatest depth of silence which transcends all forms and sounds. Yet a few others have produced works of unsurpassed glory, especially in the fields of literature and music, which have crowned the culture of the entire Islamic world. Their works have inspired Sufis and non-Sufis for generations. As the great Persian Sufi poet, Hafiz of Shiraz, who is fondly remembered as the 'tongue of the unseen', said centuries ago for all times: "He whose heart is alive with love, never dies."
The pseudo-Sufis
Over the centuries, as the Sufi orders grew, the Sufi masters were generally recognized as sages and men of wisdom and grace, enjoying the esteem of the general populace.
The growing social prestige of the Sufis attracted self-seekers who posed as Sufis and dervishes and embarked upon exploiting the goodwill of the people. These pretenders indulged in superstitious practices, neglected moral order and religious ordinances, and boasted of their ignorance and lack of learning. In order to cover their own lack of discipline and dedication to the goal, some of these charlatans even tried to cut Sufism from its very roots–namely, the Qur'an and the practice of the Holy Prophet (pbuh).
The acts of these pseudo-Sufis never altered the true course of Sufism. The heart of Sufism remained pure, well guarded by the traditional practice of the initiation of a seeker into a Sufi order by a Sufi master. The master's authority had properly been passed upon him by a previous master through the investiture of the traditional mantle of authority, symbolized by the presentation of a patched cloth. This initiation is supported by the tree of lineage going back through all the previous masters to the Prophet (pbuh) from whom the authority to instruct in the esoteric doctrine originated. Even today, this is the general practice of all the recognized Sufi orders.
It is Sufi masters such as al-Junayd, al-Ghazzali, Ibn Arabi, Shaykh Abdul-Karim al-Jili, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti and Jalaluddin Rumi, among many others, who devoted their lives to spreading the light and grace among all men, irrespective of man's geographical, social, religious and racial origin. They left for all men a rich tradition of love and peace for all
What Is Tasawwuf?
Tasawwuf is a branch of Islamic knowledge which focuses on the spiritual development of the Muslim.
Allah sent His final messenger, Prophet Muhammad, as a source of knowledge for the entire ummah. He was the fountain of Quran, Hadith, tafsir, rhetoric, fiqh, and so on. After the Prophet, the scholars of this ummah carried and propagated each of these branches of knowledge. Because no one person can attain the perfection of the Prophet, who single handedly assumed all of these roles, various branches of the Islamic sciences developed. For example, Imam Abu Hanifah preserved the science of fiqh and after him thousands of scholars continued in his footsteps. Hence these scholars preserved the fiqh of the Prophet. Similarly Imam Bukhari and the other famous scholars of Hadith, preserved the words of the Prophet. The scholars of tajweed preserved the recitation of the Prophet. And, the scholars of Arabic grammar preserved the language of the Prophet.
Along these lines, the Prophet was the model of spirituality for the world. His God-consciousness, deep spirituality, acts of worship, and love for Allah were preserved and propagated by an Islamic science called Tasawwuf. The aim of the scholars of this science was purification of the heart, and development of consciousness of Allah through submission to the shariah and sunnah.
How is Tasawwuf Related to Sufism?
Studying the life of the Prophet, the scholars who propagated the science of tasawwuf understood that a requisite for approaching Allah was abandonment of the common pursuits of the world. They often wore wool because of its simplicity and low cost. In Arabic the word for wool is suf and thus, those who wore it became known as the Sufis. Another possible derivation of the word comes from the root word safa, which means "to clean." Because the scholars of tasawwuf focused on cleansing the heart, they later became known as the Sufis.

From 2014 to 2016, Antic developed and performed The Greatest Monkey Show On Earth, which makes the audience complicit in the objectification of animals for human entertainment and the disastrous consequences of such practices. The show toured to the Edmonton and Vancouver Fringe Festivals in Canada that same year, receiving a four-star review from Global News and the inaugural Artistic Risk Award in Vancouver. In 2016, the show was nominated for two Theatre Bay Area Awards for Makeup and Costume Design and won for Costume Design.
In 2015, Antic received an Individual Artist Grant from the San Francisco Arts Commission and a Zellerbach Family Foundation Grant to create and develop Bucko: Whaleman!, a 90 minute site specific work which hijacks the audience into a whaling voyage where they become colluders in a destructive plot to kill a record number of whales to harvest their oil for capital gain. Bucko premiered on Hyde Street Pier at San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park in 2017.

In the 17 years I have pursued my "Divine" health, as it is touted... I have become, as the Rastaman say: "stumblewise". I have found many philosophies to be good for a while, and others to not be worth trying. I have explored many ideas in this world of health, and food related dis-ease. I have tried so many crazy, and outrageous ideas... that someone might think I'm nuts... but... Hail, I am! ...about being here... for"the purpose", bein here for my son, and for my many friends.
I "roulette" my choices in health pursuits daily. I use both raw and cooked eating disciplines, vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, ayurvedic... A-N-Y-thing that can provide good fuel, lasting energy, and no repercussions.
I still have health issues that I address daily... it is a challenge of a lifetime... but when it pays off... it pays great!
The days it's on... I dance like my clothes is on fire, jump, bounce, climb, bike, get smooth outside my skin, and let my spirit LEAP!
The days my health isn't up to snuff... I pray for guidance... research, read, re-read... looking for clues to what I did to knock me down... and fix it!
I am in the process of building a new website...Purchased, and being worked. I am being coached in the most direct, and succinct way to positively impact the health of people, that I might not get to meet, or interact with.
The new site www.juiceaholic.org (cuz, i'm not a .com kinda guy...) is not up yet... but we are in process. It will link to my community sites, my new "show and tell" site, and my health blogs.
It seems, that my bad health has given me an opportunity, to serve Jah People, with the knowledge that's been given to me.
I feel it is my privilege to elevate the dignity of everyone around me, and all I meet.
I aim to do just that with this new idea.
I tried charging money for the knowledge... my brain shorted out! I tried the "be a famous raw foodist" my heart shorted out! I have got to follow the words of a once popular song: "Givitaway,givitaway,givitaway, NOW!"
I'd like to be a benefit to your pursuits... If'n I can, let me in on the specifics, and we'll go round about it!
... Oh yeah... did I mention that: " I am absatively, posilutely, neakin, frutz about life!

HEAVYWEIGHT — Interview — ligature — Switzerland-based online publication for design, culture and visual creation.
Heavyweight is a Prague-based type foundry founded by Jan Horčík and Filip Matějíček.
Hello, Filip and Jan. How are you?
Both: Hello, we are fine. We are currently working on our website and are trying to move the individual fonts on it. It is a lot of hard work but we are grateful for it nevertheless.
Both: We come from the Czech Republic and are currently based in Prague. There are two of us — Jan Horčík and Filip Matějíček — and we go under the name of Heavyweight. We set-up the type foundry in 2013 during our studies at the Studio of Typography at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (AAAD Prague) where we met and began to work together. During our studies, we had enough time to think of the concept and direction of the type foundry. Increasingly, we created our own custom fonts that we used later within our graphic work where we could adapt them to the ideal shape. This became our intention, to create a graphic design font for the needs of graphic designers. We gradually built up our collection of fonts and the first font Topol we created together, fifty-fifty. At the moment, we are constantly working on other fonts that we consult with each other.
Jan: In my case, it is more complicated. When I was fifteen, I had to decide my career orientation and together with my parents I decided to go to a hotel and vocational school. I didn't think at that time that I would become so interested in graphic design and even so, my pictures and drawings on paper were not particularly convincing — either for me or for my parents, and so I decided more pragmatically to enter the tourism and hotel industry. Being fed up having to dress as a waiter, I hung around the Prague graffiti community who were more my kind of people and my pencil and paper soon turned into spray paint and a wall. If you notice, there were quite a lot of graffiti artists who had a similar development, or fate, if you prefer. When I finished the hotel school, I worked in a graffiti shop in Prague where I found out that I should learn something more meaningful than the hotel industry, something where I could believe in myself. Retrospectively, I realise what a crucial decision it was to try this school where I began to learn typography. Even if this was for the reason that it was partly a coincidence arising from boredom and the frustration of the transition from school to life. This is why I don't mind admitting to the link to graffiti.
Filip: Perhaps I cannot easily describe where my interest in design and typography came from. From my perspective, it is a process taking several years that cannot be described in one sentence. It is a complete development and a transformation of my personality and opinion. My first contact with graphic design began when I started at high school where I did a lot of break-dancing. With our crew, we organised local competitions for which I "designed" posters. This was my first contact with graphic design. At that time, I had no idea about the concept of graphic design. Along with my studies at technical school, my interest in graphic design became stronger, eventually replacing all my activities, including break dancing and school. After technical school, I wanted to turn my hobby into my profession and I continued to study graphic design (at the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of design and Art in Pilsen). Most of my work was rather simplified and minimalistic but over time I began to lean more towards typesetting and working with texts and fonts. Experiments with Fontlab software and a fascination with my own symbol set and its subsequent introduction in life and utilisation in my own project had the "wow effect", which was what made it for me. I continued to study font creation and typography at AAAD in Prague.
How did you come to start up the foundry?
Both: One of the key moments for the beginning of our cooperation was a university project at a studio where both of us were studying. The project task was to organise the final studio exhibition presenting all the students' works. We were charged with the curatorial duties during which we agreed on a visual accompaniment of the entire studio presentation. It was very intensive work and we spent 90% of our energy creating a common Topol font, which we used across the full spectrum of materials for the exhibition — both printed and digital. We both worked on the font together, fifty-fifty. By that time, we could not imagine it was possible. After all, it was a confirmation of our identical ideas and similar tastes. After this experience, we continued to create individual alphabets and after many discussions we decided to combine our fonts under one common project — the Heavyweight type foundry.
Can you tell us more about the PANO typeface?
Filip: The Pano font is based on a group of six specifically designed capitals as a logotype for a brand of racing bikes. It was the first impulse for the creation of this font. The specific spatial arrangement of the bike frame determined the drawing of individual letters with wide proportions. Based on the uppercase glyphs, I drew a rest of the glyph set and then expanded another five cuts. What was interesting was that from the beginning I approached PANO as a text font. Thanks to the high x-height this font can even be utilised in short text compositions. Therefore, the entire symbol set currently includes 534 symbols, which is the reason why the font can be used in more than 50 languages.
PANO is a type of experiment for me. I wanted this font to be as wide as possible and I did not want its round shapes to have a square character.
Another main element of the work is the minimal contrast between vertical and horizontal strokes. Arms and shoulders are smoothly connected to the stems and strokes terminate on the vertical axis.
To soften the already hard, sometimes even aggressive character, the drawing contains humanistic details. For example in glyphs such as lowercase "a", "s", the ampersand, or pound sign.
PANO mainly excels in title sizes, on posters, headlines as well as in magazine graphics. Sometimes, I think that every word typeset in this font can become a logotype. I like the PANO font because of its potential variety of uses.
Where would you like to see your typefaces used?
Everywhere. Even embossed on toilet paper.
Jan: Among Czech designers, I would nominate Ladislav Sutnar and Jan Solpera. For me, they are icons who were able to break through during the previous regime with a strong global design. Radim Peško also definitely ranks among the leading contemporary Czech designers. Internationally, then I would say definitely Laurenz Brunner, whom I had the opportunity to work with. He is the ideal combination of a graphic designer with extraordinary sensitivity who has the ability to estimate and create a font.
Filip: For me, it is definitely Ladislav Sutnar. He is a designer who broke through globally in his time and the quality of his work includes much more than just graphic design. Also Karl Gerstner, the ultimate graphic designer.
Jan: If we talk generally about design, I can remember the book Expo58 Brussels, which was mentioned a lot due to the success of the Czech design. In terms of contemporary designs, then the book Graphic Design Now in Production.
Filip: There are a lot of excellent books. I have read just a fraction of what is available, but I am generally more interested in the historical, period, or retrospective reproductions of the graphic designers of the 60s and 70s. These have an admirable purity of work combined with an absolutely perfect finish. Simplicity without unnecessary effects and clearly legible information.
There is a new website coming soon, so stay tuned!

It's Bloomsday! Celebrate Joyce and Ulysses
June 16, 2010 by Marie Posted in History, Poetry, Culture, Education 8 Comments
Ladies strolling at Sandycove, Dublin (AP photo)
What is Bloomsday?
Fom Today in Dublin:
Bloomsday is a commemoration observed annually on 16 June in Dublin to celebrate the life of Irish writer James Joyce and relive the events in his novel Ulysses, all of which took place on the same day in Dublin in 1904. The name derives from Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Ulysses. Thursday, 16 June 1904 was the date of Joyce's first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle, when they walked to the Dublin urban village of Ringsend.
From the AOH/Ancient Order of Hibernians Boston website:
BLOOMSDAY marks the day in 1904 on which all the action of James Joyce's novel Ulysses takes place. It is celebrated every year on 16th June by Joyceans all over the world. In Dublin, where the novel is set, Bloomsday celebrations go on for a week, with most of the attention on the day itself. It is traditional to dress up and go out for the day, visiting the locations of the book and taking part in readings, walks, reenactments and convivial activities of all sorts which in some way connect with Ulysses, its author and its world. As an occasion rather than a festival, Bloomsday has no 'official' programme or organising committee.
How to Celebrate Bloomsday from eHOW:
Attend a Bloomsday celebration near you. Dublin has the biggest, but dozens of towns throughout the United States and Canada have rousing ones. Many include marathon readings of Ulysses, with local celebrities taking turns reading passages from the epic. (Stephen Colbert will participate in a New York City Ulysses read-a-thon today.)
Take a tour of Dublin's – or all of Ireland's – literary shrines. Travel agencies, university literature departments and Irish-American cultural groups offer them throughout the year, with many scheduled to coincide with Bloomsday. (Plan for next year – think Spring 2011 in Dublin.)
Hold a Ulysses party. Serve Irish food, drink , play Irish music and have your guests take turns reading from the book. (Seems a more genteel paean to our Irish heritage than the frantic celebrations on March 17th.)
Read the book. Or, if you're new to Joyce, try a more accessible work first. Both "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and the short-story collection "Dubliners" provide good, easy-to-fathom introductions to the Joyce canon. (Both excellent suggestions for the beginner.)
Curl up with a Guinness or a glass of Irish whisky and watch "The Dead" on video. The movie version of a story in Dubliners, it was John Houston's last film, one of the most true-to-the-original movie adaptations of all time, and a perfect introduction to Joyce's work. (Irish tenor the late Frank Patterson who played the LMA many times plays a role in this film.)
$this.find('img').error(function(){ jQuery(this).remove(); $this.remove(); }); }); // ]]>
I must confess – I've personally only read assorted quotes and snippets from the iconic Ulysses – I'm a "Dubliners" person with "The Dead" a particular favorite – but I'm intrigued by the "convivial activity" and "dressing up" suggested by celebrating Bloomsday! Could we add this day to the Lowell Cultural calendar? Let's talk!

oh, sorry to be pedantic but you might like to change the spelling of whisky. The Irish version is spelt whiskey. There'll be complaints! ;-)
Marie says: June 16, 2010 at 1:31 pm
elma – The article writer on eHow must be a Scot as you are correct that the Irish/English spelling is "whiskey" but the Scots drop the "e"… Whatever – it's the taste and aferglow that count!
Poteen is Irish moonshine or illegal Irish whiskey.

Excellent suggestions…"Dubliners" one of my favorite books; "The Dead" one of my favorite movies.

Years ago (many) I picked up a copy of Ulysses that was being discarded at the Pollard Library. In 1979, I found myself in a graduate class on Ulysses in Dublin. I had the book I'd pulled from the discard heap in Lowell. The professor directed us to a certain page and asked, "Who is the "him" in this passage?" I said, I presume it's God, because it's a capital "H". The professor, Seamus Deane, said, "No, it's not." I said yes it is. He said "Let me see your copy." He looked at it, and his eyes widened. Then he said, in his northern Irish accent, "Does anyone else have a capital "H" on that word?" There were over twenty people in the room. No one else had a capital H. My Pollard Library discard copy, I told him, had preserved Joyce's original and definitive corrections.
He shook his head and said, "Jasus, you may be right."
