Bipolar illness is a brain disorder that is typically characterized by alternating times of highs and lows. The Bipolar person can at times think they are invincible, and elated and fun to be around to one where they feel overwhelmed, depressive, lose interest in all around them and may become very pessimistic and even suicidal.
These highs and lows are difficult to manage by the person who has the illness as well as their family and friends surrounding them. In order for family to understand the issues, much research and work with a practitioner often needs to take place. Part of the issue with Bipolar illness is the fact that many of the psychotic medication used to treat the disease has limited effectiveness, serious side effects and often a lack of compliance by patients.
There is some research to suggest that Bipolar disorder can be hereditary in nature and siblings and children of someone with bipolar disorder may be more likely to be diagnosed with it than others in the general population. David Stephan in a talk given to the staff of MomsVitaminFix told us of the story of his family who suffered from Bipolar disorder. His grandfather, and mother had died as a result of suicide after suffering from Bipolar disorder and at least two of his siblings had severe Bipolar illness. As a result Anthony Stephan, David's father worked with nutritional supplements to enable his family to live mentally balanced lives. His solution was the Truehope EMP product. The family story is available in the book Promise of Hope.
Besides Truehope EMP, which our customers have had tremendous success with, other products that have been helpful in treating Bipolar disorders include:
Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids, which may help with the mania.
Magnesium, taken at 320 mg per day has been shown to work in some people as a mood stabilizer.
L-Tryptophan, when eliminated from the diet of people with Bipolar has been shown to induce a state of depressiveness.
B Vitamins such as phosphatidyl Choline and Folic acid have also been shown to make a difference in some people with Bipolar issues.
Having seen great results with our customers over the years we believe that there is enough evidence to suggest that Bipolar disorder can be helped with nutritional supplementation

Nuss Wasser
Posted by Jer Thorp on Friday, November 14th, 2008
Tags for this Article: alcase, alcohol, aperitif
It strikes me that the world can be divided neatly into two groups: Those who would willingly taste the contents of a poorly labeled, dusty bottle of homemade brown liquor and those who would not.
My girlfriend and I fall into the former group; my parents to the latter. As a result, last December, I found myself pouring myself a glass of a 4-year-old brown liqueur from a tall bottle hand-labeled 'Nuss Wasser'. Apart from the name, the label gave me a few other insights into what I was about to drink. I knew that it was 'from Roby's garden'. I knew it was bottled in November of 2003, and I knew that it came from 'Marlenheim'. That seemed like certification enough to me, so I bravely took a taste.
Let's back up a little. My parents live in Sidney, British Columbia, which is a small town on the South tip of Vancouver Island. Their house is tucked into a quiet community known as Deep Cove, home to a few thousand people, a few more thousand trees, and some of the best ocean views South of the Queen Charlottes. It is also, curiously, home to one of the best and least-known restaurants in Canada. The Deep Cove Chalet is located on 6 acres of lawn-covered ocean-front property. Aptly called 'unconventional' on the restaurant's website, Chef Pierre Koffel has been preparing exceptional French cuisine for those in the know for decades. The restaurant uses local ingredients, bakes its own bread, paté, and desserts, and smokes its own salmon. If you have any doubts that the Chalet is an exceptional spot, a glance at the wine list should take care of that.
My parents have been no strangers to the Chalet over the years, and Chef Pierre is not one to ignore regular customers. He has provided chauffeured rides home in his classic Rolls, poured birthday drinks from his wine reserve, and delighted us with his hand-made truffles at the end of meals. And, bringing us back to our story, he has at least once given my father a strange bottle of liqeur.
We know, then, how the bottle got into the liquor cabinet. But how did it get to Deep Cove? I turned back to the label on the bottle for clues.
Marlenheim, as it turns out, is in France. If you are thinking it sounds more German than French, though, you'd be correct – it sits along with similarly-named communes like Breuschwickersheim, Goxwiller, and Hunspach in the Bas-Rhin (lower Rhine) area of Alsace. A former villa of Frankish kings, Marlenheim was beseiged by the Swedish during the Thirty Years War. The Swedes were a trusting lot, and according to historians liked their liquor – legend has it that a whole contingent of them were knifed to death by locals after a night of drinking. Could it be that this mysterious bottle contained the very same drink that saw the end of these sloshed Scandinavians?
While it may have been bottled in France, 'nuss wasser' is certainly named by germans. Literally translated as 'nut water', it's a kind of wine which is made with green walnuts. It is a popular regional apéritif in Alsace, though it seems to have become more scarce in recent years as walnut trees have disappeared. Green walnut wine is also made in Provence, where it is called Vin de Noix – where this differs from Nusswasser, I can't begin to guess.
With the regional location and basic ingredients in hand, I wondered what could be done with the remaining piece of information on the bottle – the name 'Roby'. Surprisingly, my Google searched weren't fruitless. As it turns out, there is a Michelin-starred restaurant called Le Cerf, owned by a Robert and Michel Husser. Robert (Roby) Husser was the original chef at Le Cerf, though kitchen duties in recent years have been inherited by his son Michel.
So, there you have it. It turns out that this seemingly innocuous bottle gathering dust in the shelf above my parents' stove had quite a pedigree. Grown in the garden of a Michelin-starred chef, it somehow made it to Canada and into my glass. How did it taste? Delicious. With a strong nutty flavour , and alcohol well-balanced with sweetness, it was everything that an aperitif should be. But don't take my work for it. If you have a green walnut tree somewhere nearby, you can try some yourself:

John Lloyd's latest book is a devastating argument against Scottish independence
In Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot, Lloyd exposes what the SNP knows, but will not admit: the dire economic consequences of leaving the Union.
By Colin Kidd
FILE -- Scottish flags fly over the River Tweed near the border town of Coldstream, Scotland, Sept. 10, 2014. The European Union, a club of sovereign states, is supporting Spain's position against Catalonia's independence, but many leaders are disturbed by the violence against voters and urging talks. Unlike the Catalan referendum, Scotland's vote in 2014 was held with the blessing of the central government in London.

Speaking in the Commons in 1922, Winston Churchill reflected on the changes which the Great War of 1914-18 had wrought across the globe. A "cataclysm" had "swept the world", drastically changing "modes of thought" and "the whole outlook on affairs", while imposing huge strains on institutions in almost every land. But, notwithstanding this worldwide catastrophe, some things remained unchanged. "As the deluge subsides," Churchill famously remarked, "we see the dreary steeples of Fermanagh and Tyrone emerging once again." The Irish Question that so preoccupied British politicians in the spring and early summer of 1914 hadn't gone away.
A century on, will the Scottish Question, which so exercised commentators in the months before the Covid-19 crisis, possess the same enduring limpet-like purchase on politics? Or will coronavirus last so long, and have such transformative impacts on society and the economy, that when it is over Scots will find they have little appetite for another bout of major upheaval?
We have no idea. The recent Alex Salmond trial – puffed as the Scottish political sensation of the decade that would split the SNP – struggled for airtime as the media obsessed over coronavirus. Every Thursday evening Scots come out at eight o'clock to bang pots and clap for the NHS, just as they do in England – and with no perceptible sense that they are doing this exclusively for the NHS in Scotland. Rather an understated Britishness reigns. On the other hand, Nicola Sturgeon has been a reassuringly competent presence at the helm in Edinburgh, and the most obvious policy missteps have been those of the UK government in London. It is a standard rhetorical trope in nationalist circles to describe the UK as a "failed state". Hyperbole, of course, but not without some traction in the bumbling Johnson era.
John Lloyd's devastating argument against Scottish independence is predicated on pre-Covid-19 economic and fiscal realities. Of course, in our strange new normal these realities no longer constrain the UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak. But even when the surreal pertains, there still has to be an eventual accounting. What the pandemic has done is to make the question of Scotland's share of the UK's ballooning government debt paramount in any future calculation of the viability of independence.
The economic prospects for independence were already dismal – as the SNP leadership knows all too well, but is reluctant to share too openly with the public. Evasion, spin and obfuscation of harsh truths are all, inevitably, part of the weather of democratic life; and there's as much point in complaining about these as there is in moaning about grey cloud and drizzle. But sometimes the untruths involved are so enormous, their consequences and implications so devastating for the run of ordinary people, that the articulation of a big lie comes at a psychological cost to the politician.
The leading politicians of the SNP, Lloyd surmises, must experience this sort of foreboding. For they know that the first decade or more of Scottish independence, as an infant state struggles to establish its credibility with the markets, would necessarily be an era of deep cuts in public services. In particular, Scotland would no longer be the recipient of Barnett largesse; under the UK Treasury's Barnett formula, Whitehall currently funnels to the Edinburgh government an extra £1,900 per head each year above English norms. An honest slogan for Scottish independence might be, Lloyd suggests: "It's Scotland's austerity."
None of this is a laughing matter for the politicians involved. Certainly not for Nicola Sturgeon, grimly obsessed with independence from her youth, but equally committed to social justice. Does she ever wake up in the wee hours of the morning wondering whether the supposed long-run benefits of independence will make up for the certain material impoverishment of so many lives in the short to medium term? Lloyd asks whether the brightest and best in the SNP leadership "believe their vastly overconfident forecasts". They cannot know whether an independent Scottish state will provide anything like the standards of prosperity that its citizens now enjoy as part of the sixth-largest economy in the world. "The prospect," Lloyd conjectures, "for all their public confidence, must be, in reflective moments, terrifying for the party leaders."
This is the SNP's heart of darkness, the antithesis of the gleaming Scandinavian-style social democracy it outwardly promotes. Yet the horror is not confined to private nightmares. Conscious that the Pollyanna-ish optimism of the Scottish government's prospectus for the 2014 referendum – the 2013 white paper "Scotland's Future" – had not convinced the electorate of the viability of independence, the party commissioned a further study from its own Sustainable Growth Commission (SGC), headed by the former MSP Andrew Wilson and containing five academic economists on its 14- person board.
The report of the SGC, published in 2018, contrasted with the SNP's 2013-14 vision of a prosperous oil-based future. Rather the SGC charted a decade of difficult slog. Although the SGC's tilt away from milk-and-honey fantasy towards a grittier realism was tentative, and still accompanied by some selectively optimistic projections, that was enough to earn a few marks of disapprobation.
When the SGC report was formally launched at the SNP's spring conference in 2019, its chair was not invited to speak. Moreover, the party's hard "Scexit" zealots did not like the SGC's recommendation that Scotland ties itself to sterling for the first decade of independence, and voted to amend the report accordingly. Not that the currency question yields any substantive positives for the nationalists. Professor Ronald MacDonald, Scotland's leading expert on exchange-rate regimes, forecasts that the Scottish economy's balance of payments deficit would produce a 30-40 per cent depreciation in the Scottish currency within five years of independence. The SGC's commitment to a market economy also provoked howls of complaint from the nationalist ultra-left. The SGC report remains the SNP's dirty semi-secret: technically in the public domain, but marginal to the national conversation.
Strangely enough, there's another embarrassment that the SNP scarcely talks about these days: oil. Whereas for half a century – and as recently as the 2014 referendum – the SNP banged on about oil-based prosperity, in an age of Extinction Rebellion and with the price of oil futures occasionally dipping into negative numbers, oil has slipped from the agenda, without so much as a mumbled apology. Yet, as Lloyd notes, if we remove the environmental issue from the equation, the SNP was probably right to make the case for oil in the 1970s, when, in retrospect, there was an economically robust argument for Scottish independence. Intolerable as this must be to Scottish nationalists, independence was once a viable choice, but, crucially, is no longer: "Oil was the game changer which came too early in the game. Its growth, and that of the nationalists' support, were out of sync." If only the "political surge" had come sooner, or the "oil discoveries" had happened later, when the SNP had become the Scottish party of government, then independence could have made Scotland, with prudent governance, almost as rich as Norway. But that is no longer an option. The long-term future for North Sea oil looks bleak, with high decommissioning costs. How long, indeed, before we hear the disconcerting refrain, "It's England's oil"?
Lloyd makes clear that economically the case for remaining in the Union is a no-brainer. Why, then, have nationalists and unionists been running neck and neck in the opinion polls? In December 2019, just before the general election, one poll had independence on 46 per cent, and its opponents on 47 per cent. In late January, independence was on 43 per cent, the case for the union on 42 per cent. Why have matters been so delicately poised, when the economic case seems so overwhelming?
Partly it's because of a complicated counterfactual calculus. Middle Scotland is attached to the Attlee welfare state; but how is that best preserved? In a UK where one wing of the governing Conservative Party – though not Boris Johnson himself – wants to expose post-Brexit Britain to the full gale of market forces? Or in an independent Scotland guided by social democratic principles? There is risk involved in either option. How can Scots be sure that the Barnett formula won't be scaled back as the Johnson government attempts to consolidate its position in the forgotten north of England? But would that be worse than the hair-raising trapeze artistry involved in running Scottish public finances in the absence of the UK safety net? Although, as Lloyd demonstrates, Scotland currently enjoys the munificence of Barnett combined with a wide measure of political autonomy, the SNP never bothers to mention that the undoubted social benefits which nationalist rule has brought come "courtesy of a large subsidy from Westminster".
Besides, we've already encountered the phenomenon of an electorate voting against its own interests in the 2016 Brexit referendum. Scotland is no different. There is a widespread desire to "take back control". The twist, of course, is that in the case of Scotland, it is EU Remainers that the SNP is wooing with the sorts of arguments that Scotland's double unionists – the 30 per cent of the voters who are pro-UK, pro-EU – rejected both in 2014 and in 2016. It is this group of voters that the SNP hopes desperately to win over, but of which the Johnson government still seems casually and obtusely oblivious. Every time a government minister plays to an English gallery of Brexiteers, a few small-c conservatives in Scotland decide to risk the ride on the independence roller-coaster. While the Union still "serves Scotland best", Lloyd believes that "Brexit strains it".
The problem derives ultimately from what Lloyd calls Britain's "no-constitution constitution", the loose ensemble of statutes, conventions, prerogative powers and unreflective practice under which the UK is governed. However unsatisfactory to the tidy-minded, Britain's uncodified arrangements largely worked – until Brexit, the moment when, as Lloyd argues, the long-silent English nation made itself heard. We did not realise that our multinational democracy was so fragile, that its continued success required pan-British competitiveness between parties, and the absence of stark democratic differences between Scotland and England. But that, alas, came all too vividly into focus the morning after the Brexit referendum.
Worse still, first Brexit and now Covid-19 have sucked the wind out of constitutional reform initiatives. Moreover, as both Labour and the Conservatives have become largely English-based parties, so their focus has narrowed. Does a Conservative Party strongly inflected with English nationalism really have the will, or self-interest, to unpick the UK's lopsidedly Anglocentric constitution, especially in the wake of coronavirus, when even Brexit finds itself relegated to the pending tray?
Under Theresa May and so far under Boris Johnson, the Tory withdrawal from the EU has blithely ignored the fundamental principles of the 1997-98 devolution settlement: that whatever was not specifically reserved to Westminster under the 1998 Scotland Act falls within the remit of the Scottish parliament. Wavering unionists are under the impression – misleading or not – that the sovereign Scottish nation that voted on 18 September 2014 to remain in partnership with the rest of the UK has subsequently been, as nationalists believe, "dissed" and arguably demoted to the humbling condition of England's vassal state.
Lloyd is right to be worried about the polarising character of any future referendum. Would a 50 per cent +1 decision give an independent Scottish government the legitimacy to tackle the crisis in the public finances with which it would immediately be faced? Moreover, how does a binary referendum even begin to capture the ambiguities of the typical Middle Scottish voter: pro-UK, pro-EU and shown nothing but disrespect by Westminster since 2016, yet whose public services are cushioned by central government at an extra £1,900 a head per year above English levels? l

is a fictional character from both the Final Fight and Street Fighter series of video games. He is an American Japanophile, as well as a member of the Mad Gear gang.

Appearances

In video games
Sodom originally appeared in the 1989 beat-em-up game Final Fight, where he is the boss of the Subway stage. An underground wrestling promoter dressed in a samurai-style helmet and gear, Sodom fights the player in an underground ring in the Metro City's subway, wielding two katana swords. In 1993's Mighty Final Fight, there are three Sodoms (or Katanas, as the character is called in the English version), known as the Three Katana Brothers.

Sodom's first appearance in the Street Fighter series was in the original Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams on 1995. According to Tatsuya Minami, senior manager of Capcom's Product Planning and Design section, Capcom included Sodom in the game because he was popular and easy to translate to the one-on-one fighting genre. In the Alpha series, he is characterized as an American Japanophile, who is greatly fascinated by Japanese culture but misunderstands it. After being defeated by Guy in Final Fight, Sodom recognizes his wrong perception of Japan and travels there to re-educate himself. He develops a new fighting style based on Japanese and Western martial arts and trades his swords for a pair of jitte. In the first Alpha, he seeks to rebuild the Mad Gear gang by defeating his rival Guy in combat. In his ending, he reforms the gang and holds up a poster reading . In his ending in 1996's Street Fighter Alpha 2, Sodom goes to a sumo ring in Japan to seek new members for the reformed Mad Gear and ends up being challenged by E. Honda. In 1998's Street Fighter Alpha 3, he seeks a new hideout for his gang and goes to claim Shadaloo's new underground base as his own when he learns about it from his former ally Rolento. He crashes his truck into M. Bison's Psycho Drive to foil his plot. Though he is presumed by Chun-Li and Charlie to have died in the explosion, Rolento expresses his belief that Sodom may still be alive.

Apart from the Alpha series, Sodom appears as a playable character in 1999's Final Fight Revenge and makes two cameos in 1997's Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix. Sodom makes a cameo in the background of a stage in 2012's Street Fighter X Tekken.

Sodom makes a cameo appearance in the 1999 anime film Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation as a fighter who travels with Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and some other fighters to Dr. Sadler's laboratory to find and rescue Ryu's alleged younger brother, Shun, though Sodom's comments hint that he is only doing it to prove he is not a coward. As the fighters battle it out to demonstrate their skills to Sadler, Sodom takes on Ken, but is beaten. He and the other fighters are later imprisoned in a cell to have their fighting Ki stripped, but they are released by Ken and Chun-Li.

For Capcom's 15th anniversary of Street Fighter, SOTA Toys released a series of action figures, amongst which was Sodom. The figure was fully posable with 16 points of articulation, and modeled after his Street Fighter Alpha appearance.

Development
In the English-language localization of Final Fight for the Super NES and Sega CD, Sodom was renamed Katana. The name change was repeated in the SNES version of Street Fighter Alpha 2 to maintain consistency. The initial name change was due to its reference to sodomy, as well as a possible religious reference to Sodom and Gomorrah.

In the Street Fighter Alpha games, Sodom is an American character trying to speak Japanese, he is a comedic object of ridicule in his failed attempts at the language. In the Japanese version of Street Fighter Alpha, Sodom's inability to speak fluent Japanese is portrayed in his win quotes by having him use English words that are pronounced similarly to whatever Japanese words he is trying to say with a Japanese translation below.

Sodom wears tabi and geta, gauntlets, blue jeans, body armor, and a samurai kabuto with a mask. On the front of his outfit, Sodom has attempted to scrawl the Japanese kanji shi (死), meaning "death". However, he has not written the kanji properly, and thus its meaning is lost. He is never seen fighting without a pair of jitte or katana swords, making him one of the few characters to appear in the Street Fighter series to use weaponry. In the Japanese version of Final Fight, the katana are named Masamune and Muramasa. In the first two Street Fighter Alpha games, Sodom uses a pair of jitte as weapons instead of his katana blades from Final Fight. However, in Street Fighter Alpha 3, if the player plays as Sodom in X-ism mode, then Sodom will use his katana blades from Final Fight instead of the jitte.

Reception
Sodom was included in the UGO Networks top 50 Street Fighter characters, as well on its list of fighting games' craziest characters, with a comment: "Street Fighter series has seen its share of oddball characters, but few are as goofy as Sodom." Doug Perry from IGN called him a "stupid" character and asked who would ever play him. Complex ranked Sodom as the second "lamest Street Fighter character". In the official poll by Namco, Sodom has been the 32nd most requested Street Fighter side character to be added to the roster of Tekken X Street Fighter, as of August 2012 racking up 3.49% of votes. A fight between Sodom and Yoshimitsu was listed as one of "12 matchups we want to see in Street Fighter X Tekken" by GamesRadar that commented though a "jerk", Sodom "bring some pizzazz to the tired old samurai fashion scene [...] with his 'Samurai Casual' armor and blue jeans." Sodom was one of ten absent characters Heavy.com wished to be added in Ultra Street Fighter IV. GameSpy featured Sodom in their list of "extremely rough brawlers" at 16th place.

Japan Air
I'll go ahead and preface this by saying I know practically nothing at all about Sweden's Japan Air. What I do know is that I've been entranced by their instrumental pop tunes for the past two days. Have a listen and you'll understand why I chose the word "entranced." I think the picture says a lot.
[MP3]: Japan Air :: Crack Of Dawn (Highly Rec'd!)
[MP3]: Japan Air :: Sept
[MP3]: Japan Air :: Stationen By Night
Speaking of instrumental pop songs, I've been thinking about posting a nice instrumental pop songs mix. I've got a pretty good list of songs in my head already, but feel free to make some recommendations!
Tiny Microphone: "Answering Machine Girlfriend"
Tiny Microphone is the solo endeavor of Kristine from The Starlette Canvas, and well, she's making some of the prettiest dreamy-pop I've heard in a while. Her MySpace says she used to record on a cassette four-track, but has since moved towards digital recording. This song is obviously one from her four-track era, but I've found it to be the most charming of all. Tiny Microphone was also featured on the 2CD Patty Duke Fanzine #6 compilation, which you should check out HERE, as it looks pretty awesome. Anyway, listen to this song right now, or put it on your iPod and then go take a nap and listen to it.
[MP3]: Tiny Microphone :: Answering Machine Girlfriend (Highly Recommended!)
As I hinted to above, this song is definitely the lowest of lo-fi, but it's my opinion that it actually works in the songs favor, adding a layer of fog overtop the already dreamy track. If the title didn't give it away enough, this song is pretty cute, and the chorus is just fantastic! When she sings "it goes round and round" I can't help but smile. This is some of the best napping music ever.
Head over to her MySpace and listen to "We Don't Live Here...," one of her newer songs that's just as great and wonderful as this one. Hey, you might as well just listen to all of them, they're all so good!
A Cat Called Cricket: "Watch For Falling Rocks"
A Cat Called Cricket!
The debut record from Baltimore, Maryland's A Cat Called Cricket, Here Comes Another Melody, is the perfect album to warm up with during the cold winter. Originally started by Alex Champagne is 2004, the band eventually grew into something much bigger. Complete with beautiful sweeping cellos, lush choruses, and an unexplainable warmth, Here Comes Another Melody, is as fine a folk-pop record as one could ask for. Songs like "Nothing" and "Watch For Falling Rocks" were instant favorites.
[MP3]: A Cat Called Cricket :: Nothing (Rec'd!)
[MP3]: A Cat Called Cricket :: Watch For Falling Rocks (Rec'd a bit more!)
"Nothing" opens with sounds of what's either a stream or waterfall, before breaking into chugging acoustic guitar with cello weaving all around it. At the end, probably my single favorte moment on the record, the whole band joins in together singing before Alex comes in, moving through one last chorus. "Watch For Falling Rocks" is a little bit more upbeat, probably the most driving -- and instantly catchy -- song on album. The cello steals the spot light here, at least in the verses, moving up and down, bobbing like a buoy in the water. Then comes the chorus, with Alex warning "Watch for, watch for falling rocks, when they fall, they fall hard" as the snare rolls along behind him. Careful though, because once you hear that chorus, it's pretty tought to shake it out of you head.
Pick up Here Comes Another Melody from The Beechfields label for $6!

Slumberland's track of the week
Slumberland Records finally updated their "track of the week" back on the 12th. I suppose it would be better suited with a title more along the lines of "track of the month," but it's okay cause they always seem to uncover some gems. The new track is a pretty noisy one from Dutch band, The Nightblooms. Like they say, there's definitely a great pop tune in there, you're just gonna have to dig through the noise to find it.
[MP3]: The Nightblooms :: Never Dream At All (follow the link)
A teeny bit more info on The Nightblooms over at Tweenet.
P.S. A few copies of Boyracer's AUL 36X EP, which was assumed to be long out-of-print, also surfaced over at the Slumberland warehouse. You should probably head over there and grab one before they're all gone again. P.P.S. it's on blue marble vinyl.

Annemarie: "Bubblegum I See"
Dian, Tantri, Inu, Jojon, and Iqbal of Annemarie!
A fact overlooked by many people is that Indonesia actually has one of the best pop music scenes in the world right now, with tweepoppers Annemarie leading the way. They've appeared on compilations from both Fruit Records and Plastilina Records, and released an absolutely stellar EP in 2005 on Sweden's Music Is My Girlfriend label. This past Monday their debut album ABC on TV was co-released by the aformentioned Music Is My Girlfrtiend and Plastilina labels. It's full of pop gem after pop gem of cutesy girl vocals and jangly guitars, with the uncanny ability to put a smile on your face and a dance in your step even on the unhappiest of days.
[MP3]: Annemarie :: Bubblegum I See (Highly Smiley Recommendly!) (What does that even mean?!)
This song, from the new record, is so cute and catchy it forces me to make up words! Tantri's vocal melody in the very first few lines: "Here comes something amazing to me, so I go there" is so perfectly executed that if they just repeated that over and over throughout the whole song with the jangling guitars and swirling keyboards setting it in motion, the song would probably still be just as great as it already is. But, then I guess they couldn't call it "Bubblegum I See," and surely that would be a sad loss.
Want more? Check out the AWESOME title track from 2005's Living Model EP:

Sodastream says farewell
Sodastream, you'll be missed.
In a blog posted on their MySpace this past Sunday, Australia's Sodastream announced that they'll finally be calling it quits:
"After 10 years, Sodastream are calling it a day.
Throughout our five albums, four EPs, seven international tours and countless shows around Australia we have had the privilege of working with many incredible people, and have made a lot of great friends. We have also received amazing amounts of generosity and hospitality from people all over the world. It is those people we have worked with, the friends we have made, and that generosity which we have received that has sustained us all this time, and 'thank you' isn't nearly enough to express how much we appreciate it all.
And a huge thanks to all our fans and everyone who has supported and loved our music. You are the reason we have poured the last 10 years of our lives into these songs, and our music will live on through you."
They made some amazingly great songs, including this one, my favorite from their first album Looks Like A Russian.
[MP3]: Sodastream :: Fitzroy Strongman
Feel free to head over to their MySpace and say goodbye :(
AROUND: I guess I overlooked it, but back on the 15th it seems Pitchfork finally reviewed the Bob Stanley (Saint Etienne) currated CD86, obviously reviewed by Pitchfork's in-house indiepop expert Nitsuh Abebe. Abebe's argument is that Stanley's take on the era may be a little straight and narrow -- "Either he's blinded by nostalgia, a hardcore stickler for absolute truth, or just more of a collector than a historian or genre partisan" -- but nevertheless, there's really nothing to complain about with a compilation like this. If you haven't already, pick up the 2CD set from, I guess, Darla, or somewhere else.

Strawberry Whiplash
Glasgow's Strawberry Whiplash!
"Sandra, Laz, Paul and Duncan are Strawberry Whiplash. Based in Glasgow, Scotland where everyone is in a pop band. It's in the blood, it's in the water and it's in the contract."
When I stumbled upon Scotland's Strawberry Whiplash last night I couldn't have been more excited. Much like The Manhattan Love Suicides, whom I posted on last week, Straberry Whiplash has a lot to owe to bands like the Shop Assistants, Talulah Gosh, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their distorted haze of guitar, reverbed baby stupid drums, and breathy vocals are music to my ears. I noticed Indiepages had also given a solid nod to them as their Demo Of The Week, and they couldn't be more deserving! Both of these songs come with a huge stamp of approval, I hope you like them as much as I do! They've got no official releases as of yet, but we'll definitely keep you posted.

Blonde Redhead: "23"
23's fantastic cover art is really fantastic.
I've only been truly excited about a couple records this year so far and Blonde Redhead's 23 is most definitely one of them. I wasn't even aware of it until a couple weeks ago, but now that I've listened to a countless number of times, I'll be really surprised if it doesn't end up on a lot of top ten's by the end of the year. So far it's definitely better than 2004's Misery Is A Butterfly, and I'm not postitive yet, but I make be liking this even a bit more A Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons (2000), which until now was my personal favorite. Almost every song on 23 is instantly memorable, but none so much as the opener and title track, "23."
[MP3]: Blonde Redhead :: 23 (SO GOOD!!! :D)
I don't give the illustrious "so good with a smiley" to just any song. Infact, I made it up just now, for this post, so yeah, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. "23" opens with some delayed keyboard before being joined by an awesome high-hat and snare combo that I've found to be fairly difficult to not airdrum along with. Eric thinks the drums sound like Radiohead's "Where I End And You Begin," which I'm gonn ahave to agree with. The song's finest moments come however in the choruses, as the main vocals are joined from behind by a seemingly endless string of some of the most effectively used LALALAs ever.
23 comes out April 10th on 4AD. Make sure you buy the hell out of it.
Gui Boratto: "Beautiful Life"
Gui Boratto's Chromophobia
One second of listening to this song and you'll realize that it's pretty much nothing at all like what I typically talk about here. However, when songs are this good, we all make exceptions. This song, "Beautiful Life" comes from Brazilian musician/composer/producer Gui Boratto. Despite it being different from just about everything else I've listened to in the past ten or so months, his Chromophobia record, due out early March on Kompact, is one of my favorite records of the year so far.
[MP3]: Gui Boratto :: Beautiful Life (20mb) (Highly Recommmmmmended!)
What can I even say about this song? All I can really say is that everytime I listen to it, I wish it would never end. Also, this song may be one of the best candidates for a car commericial, ever, and I genuinely mean that in the best way possible. Eric over at Marathonpacks may eventually write something far more eloquent than I concerning this song, so pop over there from time to time to see if he has. P.S. Trust me, every byte of that 20mb is worth it.

The Manhattan Love Suicides Touring... A Little Bit
I got really excited on Friday when I stopped by The Manhattan Love Suicides' MySpace and noticed they had posted several new tour dates. Then I got even more excited when I saw that one of the few of them was in DC! They've got a reputation for playing reckless sets normally between 10 and 15 minutes in length, so that should be interesting. Their debut self-titled record came out last year on Magic Marker Records and on vinyl care of Squirrel Records in the UK. If by chance you haven't heard them yet and you like anything from The Jesus and Mary Chain to the Shop Assistants, then you'll probably love them. So, if you live in Texas, DC, New York, or London, you better be pretty excited.

Video: Lullatone: "Bedroom Bossa Band"
This is the video for my favorite song from Lullatone's new album Lullatone Plays Pajama Pop Pour Vous. It was shot in Shawn's house on 8mm film and features eggs, bird animations, and lots of tiny instruments making pretty noises. I love it!
Get the album from Darla for $12!
Oh, so...
Hi guys, I may not be posting for a couple days, possibly into next week as well, as there are issues with the phone line causing the DSL connection to perform extremely slow or not at all and frankly, posting just isn't very fun at 32kbs. I'll return as soon as the phone line is repaired, and I may still be able to get some posts in at work, so I guess we'll see. ¯\(º_o)/¯

Liechtenstein: "Stalking Skills"
Liechtenstein is such a fun word to say
Göteborg, Sweden's Liechtenstein carry on the tradition of bands like The Shop Assistants and Talulah Gosh, with their reckless, yet, dreamy style of indiepop. After being featured on last year's C06 cassette released by South American indiepop blog Mira El Péndulo, they're finally releasing their debut 7". Sometime in the next month or so, Fraction Discs will release said 7", featuring "Stalking Skills" and two other new songs! Check out "Stalking Skills" and keep a close watch here for release details.
[MP3]: Liechtenstein :: Stalking Skills (Highly Recommended)
There's something about a simple tom-snare drum beat that just gets me, and it's particularly appropriate here, allowing us to focus on the rest of the song. I'm not exactly sure who's on vocal duties here, but the girls' harmonizing oohs and coos are undeniably cute and it gives a nice contrast to shambling nature of the percussion. It's kinda weird trying to discern why a song like this is good, because it's just good and all I really want to say is "I really like this, I think you'll like it too," yknow?

I wouldn't normally make a post just for link, but this is worth it. The wonderful and fabulous Dressy Bessy stopped by Daytrtotter last week. Go listen to the session and check out the interview! It's looking like a Fall or Winter release for the upcoming Dressy Bessy record, so keep your fingers crossed! Stay pretty, babies!
Electrelane: "The Greater Times"
Brighton's (thanks guys) Electrelane
I'll have to admit, before recently hearing them again, I was only mildly familiar with with the four ladies from Brighton that call themselves Electrelane; which is kind of embarassing considering they've released three albums prior to their foirthcoming No Shouts, No Calls. Catching up with their back catalog aside, the new record, which will be released by Too Pure at the end of April, is probably the only 2007 release so far that I've actually been consitantly listening to over and over again. Especially the first track, what a way to open an album. This also marks the first non-pop record I've been really into in the past several months.
[MP3]: Electrelane :: The Greater Times (Very Rec'd!!)
I like to imagine the kick and ride at the start of "The Greater Times" as a sort of marching of sorts, leading the song into battle, and the crash hits as the big guns firing off into the distance. Glorified battling aside though, these girls have got a great grasp on the concept of "building up" because there doesn't seem to be a point (save, the end) where the song isn't growing in some way. It reaches it's finest moment however as Verity sings: "I'm tearing down the walls! the walls! the walls! the walls! the walls! the walls!" Like I said before, I couldn't think of a better song to start off the album.
Dreams of Horses has another track from No Shouts, No Calls

Remembering Free Loan Investments
Free Loan Investments' lifespan was short, but very sweet.
I suppose I should have written up this post quite a longer while ago, but I guess it's better late than never. For those of you familiar with Free Loan Investments, I'm sure you can agree with me when I say their end was very untimely. They could have made so much more great music. I'm sure there are many people out there that are much more knowledgable about the band, but what I do know was basically all gleaned from this Twisterella interview with Free Loan Investments founders Amanda Aldervall and Roger Gunnarsson.
What I can say is that they released three fantastic singles --- the "Pretentious Girl" 7" on the Socialism label, the "Puppy Love" 7" on England's Where It's At Is Where You Are label, and one more on Micke Granberg's Booff label --- and one equally great EP, put out by Shelflife Records in 2002. Some time following the release of the Ever Been To Mexico? EP the band decided to call it quits. It was quite the shame too, as they had a more solid grasp on that "tweepunk" sound than any other "new" band really ever has, I think. Take a listen and you'll understand why their short stint was so unfortunate.
[MP3]: Free Loan Investments :: Dayplanner (Highly Recommended!!!)
[MP3]: Free Loan Investments :: Ronan Keating (Highly Recommended!!!)
[MP3]: Free Loan Investments :: In The Park (Highly Recommended!!!)
I suppose I could have just wrote: "All songs are highly recommended!" but that just wouldn't have been nearly as fun. No sir. If you like Heavenly, Talulah Gosh, The Fat Tulips, Tiger Trap, etc, etc, then you'll no doubt love this (if you don't already do). P.S. If you're one of those people who already do, and you happen to have an MP3 of "Bomb The Bourgeoisie," I would forever be in your debt if you could get it to me.
You can still pick up their Ever Been To Mexico? EP in Shelflife's shop for, like, $7

As expected, David 'The Hayemaker' Haye this afternoon officially announced that his first WBA world heavyweight title defence will be against number one contender John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz on Saturday, April 3rd.
The scheduled 12-rounder will take place at the MEN Arena in Manchester and will mark the first time the world heavyweight championship has been competed for in Britain for 10 years. The contest will be televised live and exclusively on Sky Box Office.
Speaking about the threat ahead, Haye, 29, said: "He's (Ruiz) the same size as me, he's a lot faster than my last opponent (Nikolai Valuev) and he can punch a bit, too. He floored Evander Holyfield, which is something neither Lennox Lewis or Mike Tyson could manage.
"I expect Ruiz to come over to England with a solid game plan, but I feel no matter what he brings to the table, I will find some way to counter-act that and not only beat him, but beat him spectacularly and knock him out."
A former two-time WBA world heavyweight champion in his own right, Ruiz has mixed in world-class waters for over 10 years. He has claimed the scalps of former champions Evander Holyfield and Hasim Rahman, and has also scored more recent wins over Andrew Golota and Jameel McCline.
Ruiz wasn't able to attend this afternoon's press conference and Haye felt 'The Quiet Man's absence was more than apt.
"They call him 'The Quiet Man' simply because he's boring," added Haye. "He doesn't talk, he doesn't say anything and he doesn't turn up to press conference. He just gets in the ring and fights ugly. It's not even like he puts on a show when it comes time to fight. He's just all-round boring. A cure for insomnia.
"Nobody wants to watch him and nobody wants to claim him. The Puerto Ricans say that he's American and the Americans say that he's Puerto Rican. Nobody wants him."
Haye will hope to increase the excitement levels in Manchester, when he attempts to become only the second man to ever stop Ruizin a 54-bout professional career.

Roy you are spewing lies again. You are comparing the cost of polyclinics in Asia countries to singapore's A&E. If you had gone to the Polyclinic instead of a private clinic it would have been as cheap there. This is your usual antics of plucking facts from totally different context to make up henious lies.
Excuse me Rachel, what are you talking about? If you had taken the time to read his article properly, you would see that he is comparing HOSPITAL bills amongst the countries. And he did add a comment that in Taiwan, going to see a doctor at the polyclinic costs patients only SGD$2, as compared to Singapore's standard SGD$17 – SGD$30 fee.

Knock Off iPhones Continue to Plague Apple from New York City to Canada
With the success of Apple's iOS devices, more and more people want to be seen with them. This also leaves room for counterfeit artists and scammers to take advantage, such as we've seen earlier in the year. Electronics retailers such as Future Shop, Best Buy, London Drugs and Walmart fell victim to people returning iPads filled with model clay.
Just over a week ago, Apple warned carriers in Canada such as Telus to watch out for similar returns of knock off iPhones, and within that story people in Canada noted of fake iPhone sellers on Craigslist. Last year, we saw some pretty realistic fakes and even the ability to purchase the 'iPhone 5'.
The New York Times notes of a recent bust in New York City where undercover officers discovered a store filled to the brim with knock off iOS devices, along with 3697 pairs of Beats by Dre headphones:
Officers raided the store on Feb. 9 and found what the police described as among the larger inventories of fake Apple electronics for sale on the East Coast. They said there were 436 iPhones, 21 iPads, 128 iPods — all fake. An official from Apple showed up to verify as much.
"If you walked in and said, 'I want a 32-gigabyte white iPhone,' they had it," Sergeant O'Connell said. "The iPad was the size of a Kindle screen." Some devices turned on, while others appeared to need to be plugged in first.
Check out these pictures below of a knock off iPhone 4, and also the bounty collected by the NYPD. The white iPhone 4 has an obvious sign it's fake–the front facing camera is mis-aligned, plus the screen looks off:
It comes down to buyer beware. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to authorized dealers and you won't have any problems. Have you seen any knock off iPhones around or on sale?

These Are the Most Famous Horses from Kentucky Derby History
Who's ready for this year's Run for the Roses?
By Southern Living
Credit: Patrick Smith/Getty Images
The Kentucky Derby is rich in tradition and history. From statement hats to mint juleps and everything in between, Southerners look forward to the race all year long. The Derby dates to 1875, when the Louisville Jockey Club sponsored the first run of the race. It's the longest running sporting event in the country, and the equine participants are as storied as the race itself. Who remembers these Kentucky Derby horses? How about Secretariat? We have rounded up the most famous horses that have won the Run for the Roses, so take a walk down Derby lane with us.
Donerail
This horse won the Derby in 1913, overcoming a long shot to win. The longest shot of any winner, in fact, at 91-1. During the race, multiple horses held the lead, but Donerail and Roscoe Goose, his jockey, surged ahead to take home the roses.
Probably the most recognizable name of all the horses that have participated in the Kentucky Derby, Secretariat won in 1973, which was the 99th running of the race. Secretariat is still a household name because this horse went on to win the Triple Crown and still holds the Derby record, completing the course in 1:59:40. Secretariat still holds the stakes records for all three of the Triple Crown races.
Seattle Slew won the Derby in 1977 but didn't stop there. This horse went on to win the Triple Crown and was the 10th horse to do so. At the time, Seattle Slew became the only undefeated Triple Crown winner. This horse's undefeated career has gone down in racing history as one of the most impressive of all.
This horse was the 12th winner of the Triple Crown and took home the title in 1978. Affirmed is as famous for the Triple Crown win as he is for a notorious, neck-and-neck rivalry with Alydar, a horse Affirmed raced ten times. After Affirmed, there was a 37-year wait for the next Triple Crown winner, which was American Pharoah in 2015. That gap set a record. Another record was set when Affirmed won the year after Seattle Slew took home the prize, because it marked the first time the Triple Crown had been won in back-to-back years.
Spectacular Bid
This horse was a champion throughout its 1978 two-year-old season, and it also won the 1979 Kentucky Derby, a race for three-year-old horses. Spectacular Bid's jockey, Ronnie Franklin, won the race in his Kentucky Derby debut.
Genuine Risk
Genuine Risk took the roses in 1980 and is one of only three fillies to win the Kentucky Derby. The others were Regret in 1915 and Winning Colors in 1988.
Monarchos
In 2001, Monarchos won the Kentucky Derby. He was only the second horse, after Secretariat, to run the Derby in under 2:00.
Smarty Jones
Smarty Jones won the Kentucky Derby in 2004 (as well as the Preakness Stakes). This horse ended a decades-long wait when he became the first undefeated horse to win the Derby since Seattle Slew's 1977 win. The jockey, Stewart Elliott, become the first jockey to win a Kentucky Derby debut since Ronnie Franklin won with Spectacular Bid in the 1979 Derby.
While California Chrome didn't win the Triple Crown, this horse did win the 2014 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. California Chrome was the fourth California-bred horse to win the Derby. The winning time was considered slow for a Derby win, but California Chrome's popularity was inarguable, which commanded the nickname the "People's Horse."
American Pharoah
American Pharoah is the most recent Triple Crown winner, taking home the first place in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes in 2015. In the Derby, American Pharoah's closing quarter-mile time was faster than Secretariat's. At 24.32, that's an impressive feat indeed.
Nyquist is the second Derby winner to win the race as an undefeated two-year-old season champion. The 2016 Kentucky Derby, which Nyquist won by 1¼ lengths, was the horse's last win. Nyquist is a 5th generation descendant of Secretariat.
Will you be tuning in to the Kentucky Derby this year? What are your most memorable Derby runs? (Besides Secretariat, that is.)


The question we face in the digital age is not how to have it all, but how to maintain valuable activity at a societal price on which we can agree. Just as we have made laws about tolerable levels of waste and pollution, we can make rules, establish norms, and set expectations for technology. Perhaps the online world will be less instantaneous, convenient, and entertaining. There could be fewer cheap services. We might begin to add friction to some transactions rather than relentlessly subtracting it. But these constraints would not destroy innovation. They would channel it, driving creativity in more socially desirable directions. Properly managing the waste of millions of Londoners took a lot more work than dumping it in the Thames. It was worth it.

Q: Change Form Styling When It's Focused I have a comment form and I set the opacity for that form to 0.7
Now I want to change the opacity to 1 only when the users are filling out that form. How can I do that?
I tried using :focus selector on the form id but it doesn't seem to work at all.
#comment_form
{
    opacity: 0.7;
}

#comment_form:focus
{
    opacity: 1;
}

Or perhaps there are other ways to achieve this that would be a better solution? (Like maybe using Javascript?)

A: You are trying to change the opacity of the form when an input inside that form is focused.
You can't select elements in CSS based on what descendants they have, so this requires JavaScript.
For example, an (untested) YUI 3 approach would be:
var form = Y.one('#comment_form');
form.delegate('focus', function (e) {
    form.addClass('focused');
}, 'input');

And then:
#comment_form.focused
{
    opacity: 1;
}

You would need similar code for the blur event, and I would recommend adding a class to make it translucent using JS so that it is always fully opaque if JS is not available.

A: :focus does not work so well in IE 5-8.
Anyway, the :focus pseudo class should be on the individual input elements, like textarea, input and so on, not the whole form.
Edit: For a rudimentary solution to this, see this fiddle.

Taking the last hit
When Courtney began to have trouble breathing in January, she decided to perform an experiment: she stopped vaping for a day and noticed marginal improvement. The breathing problems quickly returned when she returned to her regular usage the next day.
When Courtney quit completely, the experiment confirmed her fears. Throughout the process, Courtney experienced both physical and emotional symptoms of withdrawal, including a fever that lasted for two weeks.
"I felt sick," Courtney said. "I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, I was nauseous. I'd wake up feeling awful."
Her physical withdrawal symptoms lasted around two weeks, but she experienced emotional withdrawals for nearly a month afterwards. She became angry incredibly easily and burst into tears at the smallest things, including if her dog walked out of her room.
"[I didn't give in because] I didn't want to die," Courtney said. "I am 15 years old. I didn't want to die at 30, or of lung cancer."
Courtney's fear supplied her with the willpower it took to quit using nicotine. For other users, however, the drug's effects are too difficult to give up.
I didn't want to die. I am 15 years old. I didn't want to die at 30, or of lung cancer."
— Courtney
"It's really hard to stop," Dorfman said. "Millions of people have gotten addicted to nicotine, and even if they know it's bad for them, even if they want to stop, it's not a matter of just throwing it away."
Others have quit because of the expense. A pack of four pods costs around $20, causing some, including Courtney, to spend up to $40 a week. For some, this can be a barrier to continue vaping.
"It costs too much and doesn't do enough," Reagan said. "It just felt like a waste of time."
Whether it be due to an extreme medical issue or a simple matter of cost, there are teenagers who have decided to quit vaping. Using Juuls and other forms of e-cigarettes is still generally seen as trendy, but there is hope that the news about vaping-related deaths will contribute to a rising group of teens who view vaping for what it is—a dangerous and addictive practice.
Courtney is now one of these people.
"Even though people will say Juuls aren't as bad as cigarettes," Courtney said, "you're not supposed to put things in your lungs that aren't supposed to go in there."

2 Men Sacrifice Seven-Month-Old Girl in Jharkhand
HomeAll India2 Men Sacrifice Seven-Month-Old Girl in Jharkhand
This Article is From Jun 02, 2017
The duo allegedly abducted the tantrik's neighbour Subhash Gope's daughter when she was asleep and sacrificed her at a cremation ghat near a river in Tiruldih
All IndiaPress Trust of IndiaUpdated: June 02, 2017 1:37 pm IST
Bhadoi Kalindi and his wife had been married for eight years and wanted a child.
Jamshedpur: A man with the help of a tantrik (occultist) allegedly sacrificed a seven-month-old baby in Jharkhand's Seraikela Kharsawan district to appease God, so that he and his wife could have a child, police said today.
Bhadoi Kalindi and Karmu Kalindi, a tantrik, were arrested by the police yesterday from Chaida village under Tiruldih police station, said Sub-Divisional Police Officer (Chandil), Sandeep Bhagat. Mr Kalindi, a snake charmer and his wife were married for about eight years, the SDPO said, adding that he decided to sacrifice a child so that his wife could conceive.
On the night of May 26, the duo allegedly abducted the tantrik's neighbour Subhash Gope's daughter when she was asleep and sacrificed her at a cremation ghat near a river in Tiruldih, Mr Bhagat said.
The tantrik went missing after the incident, which made police suspicious of his involvement in the abduction of the child, Mr Bhagat said.
The police tracked him down and arrested him along with Mr Kalindi. During interrogation, both confessed to their crime, Mr Bhagat said.
Police have seized the weapon used to sacrifice the infant from the aspiring father's house, the SDPO said adding that a search has been launched to recover the body of the baby girl.

Home Videos Sufism What is Sufism? A formal Explanation Part 18: The Final Two Principles
What is Sufism? A formal Explanation Part 18: The Final Two Principles
What is Sufism? Part 17: Principle 7 & 8 Unnecessary Interactions and Maintaining Silence
What is Sufism? A formal Explanation Part 18:
The Final Two Principles: Night Rising (Tahajjud) and Strengthening Awareness and Love for Allah.
The Eight Principle of the Path:
Staying away from excessiveness whatever form that may be: in speech, food or love of worldly things.
The Ninth Principle of the Path:
The importance of the Night Prayer (Tahajjud) in particularly waking up in the last third portion of the night.
Why in particular is this time blessed?
– There are verses in the Qur'an encouraging us to do istighfar at this time. Ya'kub (upon him be peace) promised his sons when they confessed their wrong that he would seek forgiveness for them 'soon'. It is reported that his intention was to pray during the later part of the night as the prayer made at that hour is answered specially.
– This is the best time to do any dhikr and focus ones attention purely on Allah. This is because there are no distractions, no duties calling and no interference from anyone.
– The last portion of the night is generally when the mischief dies down and the evil doers of the night have gone to sleep and the mischief doers of the day have not yet risen.
– The last portion of the night is also a time when the brain has rested and is now alert and fresh.
The Tenth Principle of the Path:
Reflecting on the creation of Allah and having a constant dhikr regimen.
– The universe around us has been made for us to reflect upon. Everything which it contains is a means for us to understand our Creator and to comprehend the subtleties of His wisdom. This all depends on how we are looking at it. The task for us as the Shaykh mentions is to change the way we look at things. By directing ones focus to the right objective (which is Allah), everything around us will become a means of reflection and connection to Allah.
The two benefits of reflection…
1) The awareness and consciousness of Allah strengthens.
2) The love for Allah increases
What is the objective of dhikr:
Emptying out the heart from anything which is other then Allah.
Being continuous upon your dhikr and its benefits:
– Abundance of dhikr will remove all those things preoccupying the heart away from Allah. Allah will become dominant in one's heart and thoughts.
– The more a person remembers Allah the easier their work load becomes. By giving time to Allah and remembering Him Allah will place barakah in one's time and efforts and complete his or her tasks with goodness.
– Engaging in the remembrance of Allah creates a light which emits from the heart. The strength of this light will leave its effect on the rest of the limbs giving a person the strength to carry out good deeds and turn one away from the love of this dunya.
– A quote mentions "the one who is given the ability to do dhikr has been given the plan of wilayah (close friendship with Allah)". The greatest thing a person can be doing is remembering Allah. As mentioned in the Qur'an "Remember Me and I will remember you.." A person feels elated if a notable, well-known, respected person makes mention of them by the words 'I remembered you', so what can be said in the case here when it is no other than the Lord of all the Worlds remembering His lowly servant.

His debut solo CD 'Matthew Darrell Wilson-MY WAY', is the culmination of years of songwriting and thousands of gigs, and there are still many more albums yet to be recorded as Matt has written hundreds of songs in his 30+ years as a musician. Matt's music is a nice mix of good 'ole classic sounding rock, with big pop hooks, a few ballads, some blues and a bit of country mixed in for a nice tasty sonic gumbo!
