The Wardens' Blog @ 24 March
Spring is sprung, the grass has riz and it is time to transform St Andrews with our traditional spring clean. It will be good to see the church bright and clean for Easter and soon after, on 25 April, we expect a full house for the celebration of a new broom in the shape of Revd Frances Trickey. Do join us for an hour or so next Saturday morning, 1 April, as we go into dark corners that can be easily overlooked.
Bishop Andrew, who is with us this Sunday morning, has chosen the title of Transformation for this week's Lent meditation. A spring clean of the soul that transforms the 'attitudes, words and actions that are not worthy' of our Christian calling. Soul searching has its place and we begin by praying Search me, O God, and know my heart! And see if there be any grievous way in me [Psalm 139, ESV]. We may well find a dark corner within that needs attention.
Bishop Andrew is preaching this Sunday at 9.30 and 11.15.

Damned if J.J. Abrams hasn't worked his unstoppable magic once again.
There's a kind of genius that is characterized by fearlessness, panache and a confidence in one's own creative instincts that consistently pays off for audiences. J.J. Abrams is this kind of genius. He's taken labyrinthine storylines and fresh ensemble casts to giddy heights on the TV hits Alias and Lost, dared to one-up Tom Cruise for sheer bravado and control in the third Mission: Impossible movie, and exec-produced numerous other worthy television series such as Felicity and the recent cult hit Fringe. Abrams apparently never sleeps, but he sure knows how to grab audiences, and he's done it again with his innovative reboot of the Star Trek franchise.
No easy task, that. The Trek world had become moribund in the past decade with the comparative failure of Enterprise on the small screen and the unsatisfying Star Trek: Nemesis on the big screen—a farewell to the Next Generation cast's cinematic adventures. Well, damned if our boy J.J. hasn't worked his unstoppable magic once again; he's reinvented Star Trek by taking a charismatic, stellar young cast and using them to power an origins tale, the story of how one James Tiberius Kirk (Chris Pine) meets brilliant, half-Vulcan science officer Spock (Zachary Quinto) and emotive, opinionated medical student Leonard "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban) at Star Fleet Academy. Careful attention is paid to personality traits already long established in these iconic characters: Kirk is cocky, brash and womanizing; McCoy is loyal but doesn't suffer fools gladly; the Russian cadet Chekov (Anton Yelchin) is quietly confident but can't pronounce his "V"s and so on.
The success of bringing these characters so vividly to life as youthful versions of what most fans already know gives Abrams license to dispense with excessive Trek minutiae and concentrate on an exciting, action-packed story. That he does in spades. Seems a vengeful Romulan commander named Nero (Eric Bana), whom we see attacking a Federation starship piloted by Kirk's father George (Chris Hemsworth) in the movie's early scenes, is really pissed off about something Spock did in another time, another place, and has one hell of an advanced battleship with which to wreak havoc. This ship is an ominous, striking visual element, gripping your attention every moment it's on screen, as does Bana's tense performance. Nero directs his ship's full power, capable of punching a sort of black hole in the middle of a planet, on Spock's home planet of Vulcan, with plans to head for Earth after that. Since he's traveled through time to do this, an alternate timeline is created in the Star Trek universe, something Trekkies are likely to have animated discussions about. The resulting destruction interrupts a training mission for the far from united Trek crew, headed by Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood in a splendidly dignified, knowing performance). Spock becomes acting Captain, while Kirk is steaming from being disciplined for cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test that Spock designed, setting up the necessary initial conflict between the two. This ragtag bunch of young cadets is thus thrown together to try to save the universe from a determined madman.
That's pretty much the basic plot, and everything else is a fun ride through space and comic interplay between the familiar characters. There is plenty of action, one hell of a scary beastie on an ice-laden planet where Kirk is stranded for a spell, an unexpected bit of romance, and a consistently invigorating script by writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Oh, and as everyone surely knows by now, the legendary Leonard Nimoy turns up from the original cast in a few memorable scenes. But mostly what makes this movie work is the utterly flawless casting. Primary attention is focused on Kirk and Spock, of course, and both Pine and Quinto thoroughly inhabit these characters, giving you renewed affection for them. But Urban steals a few scenes as McCoy—there was delighted laughter in the audience as he deliverered legendary bits of dialogue such as "My God, man!" and "I'm a doctor, not a …" He also looks uncannily like a young "Bones." Simon Pegg turns up halfway through the movie as Montgomery Scott, or "Scotty," the legendary Chief Engineer who could never quite get enough power in crucial situations but was always quite pleased with himself when he did. Pegg delivers every line with glee. So, with a sharp, thoroughly engaging cast and a terrific visual feast on the menu, Abrams has done the impossible: made the aging Trek franchise accessible to a new audience, and a real kick for fans of the original series who aren't too caught up in the overstuffed Trek handbook. Success is assured, and Paramount is already zooming at Warp Factor 6 toward a sequel. "Fascinating," as Spock would say. | Kevin Renick

Achimgaz Joint Venture Starts Production Wells in Siberia
German oil and gas producer Wintershall on Tuesday announced that the first phase of gas production from the Achimov formation in the Urengoy field in Western Siberia has begun. The company, a BASF subsidiary, and Gazprom each have a 50-percent stake in the joint venture.
The development marks the first upstream project that Wintershall has jointly undertaken with Gazprom. The majority of road and site construction for the approximately US$125-million drilling and production facilities was completed last year.
The first phase of the project calls for drilling six production wells. The first of two planned rigs is operational. Once reservoir performance has been established, the development of the entire field is slated to start in 2007. The total cost of implementing the project is expected to exceed US$700 million.
"Wintershall and Gazprom have been a successful team for 15 years, initially in the area of natural gas trading, and--since 2003--with joint exploration and production activities," said Reinier Zwitserloot, Wintershall's chairman. "Now we want to strengthen this cooperation as an important contribution to safeguarding Europe's future natural gas supplies along the entire value chain, from the wells in Siberia to the customers in Europe."
Wintershall and Gazprom are also negotiating the joint development of the Yuzhno Russkoye gas field, also situated in Western Siberia. Beginning in 2010, the joint North European Gas Pipeline (NEGP) through the Baltic Sea will link the deposits in Siberia with the markets in Western Europe.

What's there to show for a lifetime of work, a lifetime of working your fingers to the bone? This is a question that was put forth by King Solomon thousands of years ago. Now we are living in the 21st century and many are still asking the same question. However, there is many more standing in the unemployment line and seeking a job in order to work, an opportunity to find the answer for themselves to this age old question.
Tonight before a joint session of congress, President Obama will introduce a bill to put America back to work, giving all those who want to experience for themselves what profit has a man from all his work?
In order to write this lesson, I ask several friends of mine this question; "What do you work for? A friend name John Paul said "To make a killing." Another friend name Martha who works as a salesperson on a straight commission, I asked her what she works for and she replied; "to make a living." Next, I called my cousin who is a congresswoman who I know that loves the adrenaline of debate, the reward of accomplishment, the warm fever of ideology. I ask her "What is it that she works for? She said I work to make my mark." Yet another person who is a very close personal friend I tried to pin him down to some specifics. I asked him why he works and he replied, "To earn money of course." I then said to him, why do want to earn money? He paused for a moment and gave me a strange look and said, "I have to eat, and I need money to buy food." So I posed another question, "Why do you need food to eat? He said with an annoying tone, to maintain my strength. I said O.K., but why do you want to maintain your strength? I need my strength in order to go to work. I said, now you are right back where you begin when I asked you the question of why do you work? You work to get money to buy food to get strength to work to get money to buy food to get strength, and so on, ad infinitum.
A pastor friend of mind told me that during a winter snow storm he saw a woman crying at a bus stop, he asked her if he could be of any help. "Oh," she replied, "I'm just weary and bored. My husband is a hard worker, but he doesn't earn as much as I needed. So I went to work. I get up early every morning, fix breakfast for our four children, pack lunches, and take a bus to my job. Then I return home for more drudgery, a few hours of sleep, and another day just like the one before. I guess I'm just sick of this endless routine."
For at least eight hours a day, forty hours a week, two thousand hours a year, and one hundred thousand hours a lifetime, nearly every one of us works. By comparison, even death and taxes seem less certain. One would think that, giving its enormous grip on each of our lives, work would form a fist of significance, a handshake of common destiny.
Yet the reality is less convincing. Instead of doing work as our destiny, is a calling from God, we force our jobs to work for us; our work, we are led to believe, must make something happen outside of its own inherent value. And in an effort to make that something else happen, we are like a manic clown with balloons, twist motivation into strange and entertaining shapes.
For many people, work is or at least becomes a means to something else, a perceived greater reality. Frankly, many of us see work as a sort of cosmic arcade game where we line up the hours and shoot between blindfolded eyes. Sheer repetition dulls us to the inherent emptiness inflicted on our spirit.
We kill time. We lose perspective. Boredom or addiction creeps in. A great Author name Frederick Buechner once wrote these words:
"The world is full of people who in one way or another are by and large merely "getting through" their lives, who are killing their time, who are living so much on the surface of things and are so bad at hearing each other and seeing each other that it is little wonder that one life seems enough….There are lots of people who get into the habit of thinking of their time as not so much an end in itself, a time to be lived and loved and filled full for its own sake, but more as just a kind of way-station on the road to somewhere else, to a better job or the next vacation or whatever, and all the interim time that remains to be killed starts looming up like a great mountain that has to be climbed, so that if there were a little button somewhere that we could push to make it disappear all at once, I am not sure how many of us would have the strength not to push it."
Now King Solomon was very clear on how he saw this matter of work, and he left us to ponder the question for ourselves. In doing so we must think deeply on how God must feel, after all, he was the one that created work. However, before I introduce you to God's masterpiece, let us look at what King Solomon had to say, and this is what Solomon told us, he said;
"What's there to show for a lifetime of work,
a lifetime of working your fingers to the bone?
One generation goes its way, the next one arrives,
but nothing changes—it's business as usual for old planet earth.
The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
then does it again, and again—the same old round.
The wind blows south, the wind blows north.
Around and around and around it blows,
blowing this way, then that—the whirling, erratic wind.
All the rivers flow into the sea,
but the sea never fills up.
The rivers keep flowing to the same old place,
and then start all over and do it again.
Everything's boring, utterly boring—
no one can find any meaning in it.
Boring to the eye,
boring to the ear.
What was will be again,
what happened will happen again.
There's nothing new on this earth.
Year after year it's the same old thing.
Does someone call out, "Hey, this is new"?
Don't get excited—it's the same old story.
Nobody remembers what happened yesterday.
And the things that will happen tomorrow?
Nobody will remember them either.
Don't count on being remembered." (Ecclesiastes 1:3-11 (MSG)
Now I say to you, think on this, God set the example as our very first worker. He did not introduce such an attitude about his work as we see it. Suppose God had asked himself the question, "What am I working for? Instead, God rolled up his sleeves and He worked for six days, with light and atoms and dirt and fire and water, the elemental, and he was satisfied. He did not wish to make a killing or a living or a buck or a mark. He worked and, stepping back from the results saw that it was good. The question that I leave you with is this, "How do you see it?"
May your spiritual mind be transformed into the manifestation that everything under the sun is the reality of the work God did in order to teach us that we must work in order to maintain what he created for us to enjoy as we pass through this life into our next life. I leave you with my peace that you may think globally and work locally. I remain your brother in Christ, Pastor Davis/Master Teacher.

Marc Bechard turned a worried eye skywards as he walked among the limestone hills at the southern tip of Spain. It was October 2008, and thousands of griffon vultures — along with other vulnerable raptors — were winging towards the Strait of Gibraltar and beyond to Africa. But first they had to navigate some treacherous airspace. The landscape on either side of the strait bristles with wind turbines up to 170 metres high, armed with blades that slice the air at 270 kilometres per hour.
Bechard, a biologist at Boise State University in Idaho, and colleagues from the Doñana Biological Station in Seville, Spain, had been hired to help the birds make it safely past 13 wind farms in Cádiz province. Each time the researchers spotted a raptor heading towards a turbine, they called the wind farm's control tower. Within minutes the blades slowed to a stop, and one more migrating bird soared past unharmed. Then the turbine swung back into action.
When the biologists weren't looking up at the sky, they were scouring the ground for carcasses of griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus), Spanish imperial eagles (Aquila adalberti) and other species. The Spanish Ornithological Society in Madrid estimates that Spain's 18,000 wind turbines may be killing 6 million to 18 million birds and bats annually. "A blade will cut a griffon vulture in half," says Bechard. "I've seen them just decapitated."

We first met through dating app more than 6 months ago. We've never really defined our relationship. That first date I was just really attracted to him and he kissed me, we started make out and have sex, that's how it started.
Then the following months we meet from time to time. He's so my type, and I noticed little things about him, like he keeps poems from his sister, has good taste, I started find him not just good looking but lovely. I thought I can keep seeing him casually, but feeling grows stronger, on the other hand, he sometimes sweet and made me spend more time with him, then the next time acted cool to me and made me confused about whether he enjoys my accompany. I told him I feel awkward and not sure about meeting again when the he asked to. We broke off , thought this hurt a while and good for long run.
2months later, he texted me, usually he texts me on the day he wants to meet. This time he texted that night not asking to meet right away, but told me about his visit, share me photo. I was happy and also shocked about how much I miss him and want him talk to me. Next day, he asked me to let him know if I want to meet. But I told him that don't want to feel awkward again and said directly I like him, I want to spend more time do things with him. It had been a week that he has no reply, thought this time really is the end and of cos it hurts again.
But then, I got his text again, asked me if I want to go to swiming pool with him. And this make me feel happy again, looks like he finally would do more for me. But I told him can't again coz have plans already this time and wanted to meet actually. He was like "ok, next time :)"
And next day find him active on the dating app again (he kinda quited after met me) I was shocked and despair but thought he may still come back. A week later, I found that he's not even on my list on the app (likely, he unmatched me)
I bursted into tears and can't believe he gave me hope and hurt me more. Why did he even come back?
Most Helpful Girl
He could come back to feed his ego.
Leave him and don't interact with him to stop your feelings.00|00|0

Justin Bieber dissed Pink's trapeze performance at the Billboard Music Awards 2016 on Sunday. The young hitmaker was not afraid to admit it. In fact, his disgusted, scowling face became viral.
According to Hollywood Life, the 22-year-old singer was caught scowling and unimpressed by Pink's performance while singing "Just Like Fire." He explained in his recent Instagram account that he doesn't like the hollow feeling in any award event, including the rating and grading of the worth of an artist and his songs.
"I don't know about these award shows…No disrespect for anybody at any of the shows or the people running it. Nothing but love for your guys and your support. But I don't feel good when I'm there nor after. I try to think of it as a celebration but can't help feeling like people are rating and grading my performance," he said.
"A lot of people in the audience there seem worried about how much camera time they will get or who they can network with. When I'm doing a regular show I feel they are there for the right reasons and to strictly have a good time! But these award shows seem so hollow," he continued.
The "Love Yourself" singer added, "I get that the premise is to award people for their accomplishments, but is it really? Because when I look at the audience, I see a bunch of fake smiles so that when the camera hits them they look happy."
"Sure there are people truly proud of others so I don't want to knock them. I'm just looking at the vast majority. I just think to myself if I'm living my purpose, I want a reward to be fulfilled. I'm getting awarded for the things I'm doing and not for who I am, which is understandable. I know it would probably be hard to calculate and award from someone's spirit. Lol. But when I do get these awards, the temptation of putting my worth in what I do is so hard to fight!!!"
He ended his lengthy Instagram caption with, "I am privileged and honored to be recognized by my peers, but in these settings, I can't feel the recognition. There's an authenticity missing that I crave! And I wonder, does anybody else."
Justin Bieber seems to have no plans on changing his statement regarding his fake expression, whether or not the camera hit him that time. For him, he wanted to show his real self, like showing a blank face while watching Pink's ultraperformance singing "Just Like Fire" with matching "Warrior Princess" look. The young singer remains unimpressed.

[I want to share this beautiful story of trust and belief b/w the creator and his creation.]
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (PBUH) said, "An Israeli man asked another Israeli to lend him one thousand Dinars. The second man required witnesses. The former replied, 'Allah is sufficient as a witness.' The second said, 'I want a surety.' The former replied, 'Allah is sufficient as a surety.' The second said, 'You are right,' and lent him the money for a certain period. The debtor went across the sea. When he finished his job, he searched for a conveyance so that he might reach in time for the repayment of the debt, but he could not find any. So, he took a piece of wood and made a hole in it, inserted in it one thousand Dinars and a letter to the lender and then closed (i.e. sealed) the hole tightly. He took the piece of wood to the sea and said. 'O Allah! You know well that I took a loan of one thousand Dinars from so-and-so. He demanded a surety from me but I told him that Allah's Guarantee was sufficient and he accepted Your guarantee. He then asked for a witness and I told him that Allah was sufficient as a Witness, and he accepted You as a Witness. No doubt, I tried hard to find a conveyance so that I could pay his money but could not find, so I hand over this money to You.' Saying that, he threw the piece of wood into the sea till it went out far into it, and then he went away. Meanwhile he started searching for a conveyance in order to reach the creditor's country.
One day the lender came out of his house to see whether a ship had arrived bringing his money, and all of a sudden he saw the piece of wood in which his money had been deposited. He took it home to use for fire. When he sawed it, he found his money and the letter inside it. Shortly after that, the debtor came bringing one thousand Dinars to him and said, 'By Allah, I had been trying hard to get a boat so that I could bring you your money, but failed to get one before the one I have come by.' The lender asked, 'Have you sent something to me?' The debtor replied, 'I have told you I could not get a boat other than the one I have come by.' The lender said, 'Allah has delivered on your behalf the money you sent in the piece of wood. So, you may keep your one thousand Dinars and depart guided on the right path.'"
Sahih Bukhari (Volume 3, Book 37, Number 488h)
That's a cute little story, but good luck getting anyone around here to agree it is anything but that.
well this is not first in its kind of stories...most faiths have pretty similar stories...only difference is here allah comes...in others , other comes...shows to show how similar faiths work...irrespective of name using which super being is referred...
I've noticed that too, in many ways.
Well whatever you say whether Eloh-im in Hebrew, Alah in Aramaic, Allah in Arabic, God in english etc etc but God is ONE and only ONE.
The creator of everything in the universe, in heavens and on earth, created TIME and SPACE , is never born nor dies, never sleeps nor rests nor gets tired, neither eats nor drinks, neither begets nor is He begotten, is beyond human perception or imagination. Is all merciful and all powerful and JUST, is everlasting and LIVING cannot be compelled to do anything. All knowledge belongs to Him and we cannot snatch anything out of His knowledge so whatever knowledge we have is FREELY Given by Him. He has full control over whatever He created and nothing ever goes out of His control.
"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the Night and the Day; in the sailing of the ships through the Ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds and the obedience of the clouds between the sky and the earth, (here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise." (Quran 2:164)
The God of all Prophets and messengers from Adam, Idris (Enoch), Nuh (Noah), Hud (Heber), Saleh (Shelah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Lut (Lot), Ismail (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Yaqub (Jacob), Yusuf (Joseph), Shoaib (Jethro), Musa (Moses), Harun (Aaron), Dawood (David), Suleyman (Solomon), Ayub (Job), Ilyas (Elias), Zulkifl (Ezekiel), Al-Yasa (Elisha), Yunus (Jonah), Zakariya (Zechariah), Yahya (John the Baptist), Isa (Jesus) and to the last and final messenger Muhammad (PEACE be UPON ALL of THEM).
"We gave him Isaac and Jacob: all (three) guided: and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron: thus do We reward those who do good: And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous: And Isma'il and Elisha, and Jonas, and Lot: and to all We gave favour above the nations." (Quran 6:85)
"Lo (Muhammad)! We inspire thee as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as We imparted unto David the Psalms." (Quran 4:163)
Whatever, remember whatever prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said or did, had a WISDOM behind it. Even the littles or the MINOR acts of Prophet (PBUH) like how he used to spoke, how he used to eat & drink, how he used to sleep & wake, how he used to walk & sit, how he used to wear clothes and clean himself, how he used to enter Mosque, home, toilet, how he used to pray, how he used to treat elders, minors, men, women etc etc everything had wisdom.
"And We have not sent thee (O Muhammad) save as a bringer of good tidings and a warner unto all mankind; but most of mankind know not." (Quran 34:28)
One of the great Islamic scholars Allama Shams Tabrezi didn't even ate APPLE throughout his life becuase he didn't know how Prophet (PBUH) eaten it.
One of the great Islamic scholars Allama Shams Tabrezi didn't even ate APPLE throughout his life becuase he didn't know how Prophet (PBUH) eaten it.
Well this is not faith it is blind faith ..by that logic muslims can't use internet , cars , shampoos , sandwitch and many many other things which muhammad never knew how to use , since those things didn't exist during those times...that is not purpose of religion and considering how intelligent muhammad was , i dont think muhammad would have been happy with some one not eating apple for reasons stated...
Well whatever you call it, we follow it without questioning anything in it bcoz we FIRMLY believe its the TRUTH from One Almighty God, the CREATOR.
Again ENTIRELY you missed my point. I gave example just to let you know that how strong was the faith of the earlier people as they knew that there is WISDOM in everything Prophet (PBUH) did.
BUT it doesn't mean that the modern day things which are available to us, are PROHIBITED or that we shouldn't get benefit from those things just because they were not PRESENT 1400 years ago.
E.g Science and equipments like Cameras, microscopes, telescopes, were not present 1400 years ago but invented 100 or 200 years back, now it doesn't mean that its FORBIDDEN just because it was not present at the time of Prophet (PBUH). We can use these equipments and find out about this VAST universe and everything in it and then we can compare the scientific discoveries with the relevant verses of the Quran to see whether its compatible or not.
"...FIRMLY believe its the TRUTH from One Almighty God, the CREATOR."
What do you base this "firm belief" on other than it being an opinion based 100% on "hope?"
I think you may not understand the absolute definition of the word "truth."
"Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators"?
"Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief."
"Or are the Treasures of thy Lord with them, or are they the managers (of affairs)"?
"Or have they a ladder, by which they can (climb up to heaven and) listen (to its secrets)? Then let (such a) listener of theirs produce a manifest proof." (Quran 52:35-38)
Unlike the Athiests who base their belief on "mere conjecture & hope" that there is no God, we base our "FIRM BELIEF" on the Glorious Quran, a miraculous book, a book of SIGNS for those who are wise.
Accurate scientific facts ALONE in this Glorious book, without doubt, proves that:
1) Muhammad, an unlearned man, is indeed the messenger of God.
2) Quran is the Divine book revealed to Muhammad.
3) God Almighty exist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9Vs2z5S … re=related
Among His Signs in this, that He created you from dust; and then, behold, ye are men scattered (far and wide)!
And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.
And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.
And among His Signs is the sleep that ye take by night and by day, and the quest that ye (make for livelihood) out of His Bounty: verily in that are signs for those who hearken.
And among His Signs, He shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope, and He sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily in that are Signs for those who are wise.
And among His Signs is this, that heaven and earth stand by His Command: then when He calls you, by a single call, from the earth, behold, ye (straightway) come forth. (Quran 30:20-25)
Pls try again. You did not answer my question.
Read my question with understanding and try, this time, to answer it: ( I don't think you can.)
"...FIRMLY believe its the TRUTH from One Almighty God, the CREATOR."
What do you base this "firm belief" on other than it being an opinion based 100% on "hope?"
I think you may not understand the absolute definition of the word "truth."
following without questioning is not what makes thinking human ...questioning everything before following is right way...ofcourse this is my humble opinion ...
That brings to mind. Your word is your worth, your worth is your word.
Very beautiful story thanks!
Thanks for the KIND words. Peace
I don't seem to understand the moral of the story. The borrower seems to have entrusted his 1000 dinars to Allah to deliver, but realizing that Allah is not be trusted also delivered it himself as soon as he could.
While his honesty is certainly to be commended as a good example, he seems to understand and accept that trust in the goodness of a supreme being is no substitute for fulfilling his duties himself. He cannot depend on Allah to do it or even to help out.
While that may be true, it would not seem to be the intended point?
TRUST in one Almighty Creator.
Seems you haven't read it carefully. Its about the TIME which lender asked him to return the amout BUT since there were no means of transport to reach the lender's country to repay the amount on TIME, so he (borrower) trusted Allah by wraping the 1000 dinars in a piece of wood and threw it in the sea.
Later (many many years after), when he went to lender's country, perhaps he might have forgot that he delivered money wraped in a piece of wood. So he wanted to give the lender his money and apologized for not giving it on time BUT lender didn't lie and said that i received the money and Allah has paid on your behalf. So both of them trusted God and Allah trusted them.
Yes - perhaps he forgot that he had repaid the debt of 1000 dinars.
There is a saying, when Muhammad told a camel hearder to trust in God, so the the next morning the Cmel hearder came to Muhammad Peace be upon him, and said, I trusted in God, but all my camels have disappeared into the desert. Then His Holiness Muhammad said, trust in God but tie your camel.
I'd generally prefer a bankers draft.
Is hubpages preaching place for you ? I wish moderators delete such religious preaching spam. People like you, paar are here only to preach and nothing positive to contribute to writers community.
Huh, do you call this preaching? That was just a small story
Don't get mad plz.
1) It is preaching.
2) You only copied it from some source and pasted it on forums with some crayon colors.
3) It is adding no real value because all you guys are doing is copy-pasting.
So you're spamming sweetie. Now that i got confirmation from you about your copy-pasted spam. I can safely report it to moderators.
SURE. and give them PROOFS that i copied from this or that source.
Sahih Bukhari (Volume 3, Book 37, Number 488h)
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en& … er+488h%29
Well done for searching sweeto! by the way that was not the SOURCE
I have 2 books. Translation of the Quran and Hadiths. I learn the Islamic issues from these books.
You are FREE to report and although you have FALSELY ACCUSED me for spamming, i am not going to report you. Thank you for giving your leisure time and wasting my precious time. ENJOY!
Are you saying that hadith is not copy pasted on the internet by people like you ? I posted that link to show you that your source of copied content is from translation that is available on various places on web. That means you also copied it sweetie.
Islam allows liars ? why not post the link from where you copied hadith's content for the first post ? Obviously you didn't typed this whole on your own and the first post is indeed copy-pasted content.
ROFL. why don't you try to report huh ?
Preacher who is posting garbage copy pasted content on this site has any precious time to begin with ?
Islam doesn't allow lying. I read this story earlier in the book i have and then searched it on the web with the reference.
You are RIGHT buddy
How do you think it is not a positive contribution? It illustrates a man with integrity as well as the faith Ahmad is pointing to. If that is not a positive thing perhaps my idea of positive is different to yours.
Plagiarism is positive contribution to you but not me. These trolls are basically preaching same rehash stuff by copy pasting from other sites and this in turn increases junk here. Nobody objects on original content with some point of view.
I wasn't referring to the plagiarism you seem intent on proving. I was referring to the overall message. The meaning of the piece that is useful in day to day life. Integrity is a positive contribution.
This is a great story and probably the true one.
I would accept God as witness at any time

A major insurance company has said sorry for a mistake in wording which almost cost a Which? reader thousands of pounds.
David Dunne claimed on his Saga Over 50s insurance policy last week after the dashboard on his P- registration Volvo V40 Estate caught fire.
But when he called Saga he says he was told that if the fire was caused by a mechanical or electrical failure, Saga would not pay out.
The policy says: 'We do not cover the following: mechanical, electrical, electronic or computer failures or breakdowns, including any loss or damage caused as a result of the failures or breakdowns'
Printing error
David compared this exclusion on his car insurance policy to the one for his home insurance. He said: 'If put in the context of a home insurance policy it would mean that if my television, washing machine or radio caught fire in my house, any damage to my house caused by the fire, even a total loss, would not be covered.'
Saga told us that the line from the policy is wrong. It said a printing error had left off six words saying: 'if not kept in roadworthy condition.'
It added that it had not turned down any claims under this clause and has paid the full book price of David's car and waived the excess. It is in the process of correcting the mistake on its policies.
A spokesperson said: 'Clearly we have made a mistake and we're grateful to Mr Dunne for bringing this to our attention and we're sorry for the stress caused.'
The Financial Ombudsman Service told us that some insurance policies could contain similar wording to the saga policy. But it should only mean that the policy won't pay out for the cost of repairing a faulty part but will pay for any damage caused as a result of that part failing.

Chiropractic spinal traction therapy in Sunrise is a method of stretching and mobilizing the spine using hands-on or mechanic force. Alleviation in pain is sought with therapeutic spinal traction by loosening tight and/or constricted muscles around the spine, and to help decompress intervertebral discs in order to relieve pressure on the spinal nerve roots, which is a major cause of back and spine related pain. As with other chiropractic treatments, spinal traction may or may not help alleviate your pain, often times with chiropractic treatment what works on one patient may not be right for others. Your chiropractor will evaluate your condition and determine if traction, and in what form, is right for you.
Yes, a chiropractor can help people with allergies. Next time you are feeling unwell due to allergies, you should consider visiting a chiropractor in Sunrise . Chiropractic care is a holistic method of providing relief for the discomfort you feel when you suffer from allergies. Your chiropractor can successfully treat allergies by keeping your body healthy and less vulnerable to allergic reactions. A visit to a chiropractor, when you are suffering the symptoms of an allergic reaction, may help you to cope with your condition and make you feel much better. How can a Chiropractor help you? Allergic reactions are common immune disorders.
Best Lower Back Pain Relief in Sunrise – chiropractor will find way to help you.Chiropractic medicine is an alternative, and often referred to as complementary, approach to treating spine problems through positively affecting a person's nervous system. The profession believes that a dysfunctional spinal joint interferes with a person's nervous system which can lead to ill health. Much of the profession is split into different schools of thought; some believe in only performing treatment that is expected to work based on evidence, while others do not believe that solid evidence is necessary. Because of the nature of the chiropractic health care profession, it can often be hard for people to find a chiropractor school that is suitable for their needs. Furthermore, many people now require the services of an animal chiropractor which can be very difficult to come by. The Chiropractic Association Regardless of how you come across a Chiropractic clinic or chiropractor, you should always find out if they are a member of The Chiropractic Association. This is the industry body for the chiropractic community, so you should expect that they are a part of it. You can also use The Chiropractic Association to find a local chiropractor who is registered with them. Although this method will return a qualified chiropractor; that does not necessarily mean that it will be someone that is suited to you. Ask Your Friends and Family Asking your friends and family if they know of a chiropractor can be a great idea. There is no better way to find out about a reliable service provider than through people that you trust. You can also find out how they found their service, and if they felt they could feel an improvement as a result. Find Out What Your General Practitioner Thinks You should find out what your GP thinks before trying to contact a chiropractor. If they do feel that it is a good idea and suitable for any ailments that you are experiencing, then perhaps they will be able to refer you to a chiropractor directly. In some cases the cost of this could be covered by the National Health Service, so it is certainly worth asking them. Need an Animal Chiropractor? If you need a chiropractor that is able to treat animals then you are not alone. This is becoming more and more common as pet owners start to realize that their pets are experiencing similar symptoms to humans, and that chiropractic medicine could well be the answer. If you are not able to locate an animal chiropractor in your area, then you should consider speaking to your local vet. Although your vet may not agree with the idea of your animal being treated with chiropractic medicine, they should be able to give you valuable advice, suggest whether it is suitable, and tell you where to find a good practitioner that will work with animals.
Is Chiropractic Treatment Dangerous?While money is not what should drive professionals to do their best in their chosen fields, it is important that they profit in whatever career they choose to follow. This is why they need to market their products or services in the most strategic ways. For many years, general terms in marketing have been used. However, there are different and more specific marketing approaches that are introduced today such as those that will be useful for practicing chiropractors. Results of these techniques are expected to come in the form of a steady flow of new and repeat clients which should start from a clinic or practitioner being widely known in the area where he practices. Chiropractic has proven to be a reliable way of treatment for certain conditions. Chiropractors have also worked hard to achieve a respectable position in the health industry. Basically, chiropractors treat patients with spine, nervous, muscular, and skeletal problems. Upon curing these problems, other body systems tend to function properly. Patients who are not treated immediately will have lowered resistance from elements that cause sickness and disorder within their bodies. Chiropractors basically help improve a patient's overall wellness. With the rising competition among chiropractors, practitioners need to use marketing techniques so they can have an advantage over others. First is to launch an effective advertising campaign through different media, including television, newspaper, radio and the Internet. The first three can be very expensive while online ads tend to be cheaper. Whichever medium is chosen, it is important that the chiropractor becomes known to people as an expert. When a practitioner is known in the industry, he will be among the first that people will consider when they need treatment for which a chiropractor will be valuable. Creativity also goes a long way. It's important that a clinic come up with various ideas to attract patients. For example, a free basic therapy can be offered with certain conditions. When thinking about marketing for a chiropractic clinic, location is going to be important. A clinic has to be in an accessible area which people can readily visit when they need to. Most chiropractic patients seek treatment for skeletal and muscular problems. If they have to travel far, they this becomes a major inconvenience for them. Indeed, it will help to have a clinic in a place where they can be easily reached by patients. Having state-of-the-art facilities and a systematic process also help as lot. Having services like this is an edge and a step forward for any practicing chiropractor. Of course, one should never close himself to new trends. One should never stop learning and have an open mind for suggestions.
What is Pediatric Chiropractors Suggest to Help Healthy Children?Chiropractors are the largest doctored profession outside of the traditional medical practitioners such as traditional doctors and dentists. Some people regard chiropractic therapy as alternative medicine however it is quite popular and chiropractors generally do not agree with the therapy being termed as alternative medicine. The most common problems addressed by the therapy involve the spine and in particular deal with the back and the neck. Lower back pain is the most often treated complaint. The therapy is largely manual and is therefore drug free. The side effects are minor and usually related to the manual adjustments which last on an average for a day. Surveys show that satisfaction levels for patients treated with chiropractic therapy are high. They are higher than those for traditional medicine. Also the average rapport between a patient and a chiropractic doctor is more than an average rapport between a traditional doctor and the patient. This is probably because chiropractic therapy aims to be holistic and a good rapport with the patient is considered important. The cost of chiropractic care is usually lower than the cost for traditional medical care. However medical insurance does not always cover chiropractic therapy. However in the USA for most states insurers are required to cover it. There are not many high quality studies evaluating chiropractic therapy though for lower back pain its effectiveness is considered to be very good. For other benefits critics of chiropractic therapy say that it benefits from what is known as a "placebo response" where a patient starts to feel better just by the knowledge that the patient is being treated. Being drug free it is generally regarded as a safe therapy though like other medical practices it is not entirely devoid of risk. In some cases the manual adjustments if not done correctly can lead to complications. Another issue with the therapy is that unlike traditional medical practitioners honesty amongst chiropractors is considered to be lower than that for other doctored professions. Therefore it is important to find a good chiropractor and verify the credentials well before committing yourself to a treatment using the therapy.

Debt Isn't As Bad As You Think
A troublesome economic climate has suffocated the United States over the last few years and we've seen some giants fall flat on their faces. In the midst of government shutdowns, big bank failures, and automaker bailouts, the American middle class has suffered the consequences of irresponsible accountants, politicians, and business leaders. As a result of the recessed economy, we've seen a reemergence of some interesting financial philosophies. We might be short on cash and jobs but we still have an abundance of financial advice. That advice goes something like this:
Don't buy a house! Don't use credit! Don't buy stocks! Buy used! Live frugally! Shampoo is better!
With mortgages underwater and foreclosures on every street, this advice makes a lot of sense. A lot of people are working really hard to get out of debt – a trap that can keep you in devastating bondage for the rest of your life if you aren't careful. My hope and prayer is that those people succeed. Meanwhile the financial revolution is well underway, and as a result many are fighting back against debt. But could that be a bit of an overreaction?
I'd like to propose it is (an overreaction). As humans we tend to move from one extreme to the other. It's our natural instinct because we are typically irrational, and therefore the concept of moderation can be a difficult one to grasp. We see markets crash and immediately insist that all credit is bad – just like we hear about one act of violence on TV and think the whole world has gone mad (mean world syndrome). But the truth is debt itself is not bad – too much debt, or rather bad debt, is the problem. I'd like to propose we don't throw out good debt with the bad.
Debt is an extremely valuable resource for businesses. Without access to credit, most small businesses would quickly fail – it takes money to make money. In fact credit is so important that our government does all sorts of tricks to make sure credit doesn't dry up. Like anything, debt can be used for good or evil. Debt in itself is not inherently bad – only when we choose to use it inappropriately does it become a problem.
Bad debt, on the other hand, is something to worry about. The Bible warns against it extensively. Proverbs 22:7 says, "When you are in debt to another, you enter into a slave/master relationship with your creditor." While the Bible doesn't say debt in itself is a sin, it does highlight the reality that as one in debt you become enslaved. What God really dislikes though is a borrower who doesn't pay back what is due. Psalm 37:21 is evidence of a pervasive theme in scripture: only the wicked borrow without returning what they owe.
As our country continues to stumble on economic policies, it is important that Christians have a clear understanding of God's heart as it relates to our finances. We as a nation have significant debt that goes wickedly unpaid – a trend that we also show no remorse for. This is not a pattern to model in our own lives. Instead, we must carefully measure our own lives according to God's truth. We must use scripture as the measuring stick for reality, not the economic tendencies of our government.
My goal in writing this post is not to tackle the Biblical issue of debt. I am, however, seeking to inspire you to do your own Biblical research about the topic. I've seen Christian business professionals and entrepreneurs scared away from what I believed were heavenly ordained ventures because those Christians had an extreme view of debt that was distorted one way or another by the world instead of being properly formed by scripture.
I'm not telling you it's a good idea to buy something you can't afford, take out a loan bigger than you can pay back, or max out your credit card. You should live within your means. But you must also remember that debt can be an asset, that when properly leveraged, will bear fruit and enable you to succeed as a Christian business professional or entrepreneur. That success enables you to transition from the borrower to the lender, a position the Bible describes as a state of blessing:
"The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow." – Deuteronomy 28:12

The Challenge
Usually utility or telecom companies handle a large number of checks as individuals pay for their household service needs. These valuable customers depend on the utility/telecom companies to provide uninterrupted service even when their payments arrive last minute. When a payment check is deemed NSF, utility/telecom companies have extra costs to absorb that late fees don't completely cover, for example sending a representative on site to disconnect a service, only to have to turn around a few days later and restore service for an angry customer. Realistically it is smart to consider all one's options when facing tight budgets/budget cuts to make business more efficient.
The Solution
checXchange™ is a wise solution that efficiently cuts check collection time and increases cash flow at no additional cost. Not to mention that utility/telecom businesses are able to minimize handling costs, while increasing customer satisfaction. This allows for saved time and resources which will help increase customer satisfaction. Our free service, checXchange™, collects and pays you 100% full face value on all of your collected returned checks.

Blues Music – The Origins Of Rock And Roll
Popular music has always reflected thefeelings of the common individuals and their times,whatever period they lived in. In the present day, theproblems we encounter are verydifferent from those suffered by the descendants of the Negro slavesin the Mississippi Delta, for instance. It's usually acknowledgedthat the Delta was the melting pot that created the initialblues music, generating such blues men as SonHouse, Leadbelly and the famous Robert Johnson.
Even before guitars were widely utilized to develop standard songs, workersin the Deep South would sing 'field hollers', a type of tune without music that used a strong rhythm to assist the associated work, which was often extremely repetitive, such as digging, cutting or chopping. Old movies of Gandy Dancers exist that show this completely. Gandy Dancers were workers who moved along the railroad lining up the rails using long steel crow bars. A team of guys would all press at the exact same time to maximize their force and the song offered the specific timing for this type ofwork.
A typical blues song followed the 12 or 8 bar format, extremely typically in the key of E or A, another form of the blues appeared that expressed the spiritual aspects of people's lives, and the Spiritual design of roots music was born. Generally, such a song took the kind of call and response, where the singer would either be answered by other vocalists, or by his guitar in later years. The roadway to modern-day blues music is paved with various stylesfrom different guiarists from almost every state in America.
In the 1930s it was common to have swing bands playing in juke joints or loud clubs , often with a horn section and piano. The acoustic sound of a wood guitar was ending up being gotten rid ofby the other instruments, so the all metal building and construction of the National Steel kind of guitar was favored. Really quickly, more power was needed and the very first electric guitar appeared. Particular blues artists such as Big Bill Broonzy were really active in developing a brand-new amazing method ofplaying, newcomers like Muddy Waters rapidly saw the big possibilities in playing a more enhanced noise, with the extra tone impacts that electronics brought to the overall sound.
It might be stated that this was the time that rock-and-roll was born, when the brand-new blues men adapted the old design traditional music that had it's roots in the African tradition and produced a new amazing noise that still included all the power of the traditional music.
The Simple Blues In The Secret Of E – The Most Powerful Noise There Is
{ It appears that the Holy Grail for many contemporary I too, was guilty of this, and it was my routine to play amazing complicated ragtime blues pieces, frequently while I talked at the same time! To my method of thinking, I thought about a songwith just 3 chords, like many blues tune shave, was just to easy for me and didn't trouble with them.
I had actually been regretfullymistaken in believing that the old blues music was too simple. It set me off on a Youtube search for the old roots blues music, with it's associated African impacts. Of course, I also discovered other individuals that played the ragtime blues variety, which still pleased my need for complexity need to I ever require it!
One particular time, I stumbled upon a video featuring Lightnin' Hopkins, the famous Texas guitar player. It was called 'The Blues According To Lightnin' Hopkins' and about half method through he was rested on a sofa in his house gently playing a song in E. Although he just played a couple of notes, the sound sent a tingle up my spinal column and I was identified to find out these effective finger pickingtechniques. Obviously, the only method to do this nowadays is by paying attention to the old so-called 'race records' once again and once again, studying the notes and thinkingwhich string was being plucked.
It can also alternate and make the music more like ragtime, called the Piedmontstyle. This latter technique is totallyopposite to the classical way of teaching guitar, where the thumb sticks to the basses and one, 2 or more fingers pick the treble strings.
What Are The Different Types Of Blues Guitar Music?
Historians believe that the first music that could appropriately be called blues appeared in the Mississippi Delta in the Deep South of America in the late 1890s. African servants would sing or shout so-called'field yelps', which were frequently in the call and action format and these songs helpedthe work circulation. This type of tune was carefully connected to spirituals sang in the Churches at that time and were seldom accompanied by any kind of instrument.
The initial guitars and fiddles were homemade and not really high quality. This fact, and thehumid weather condition conditions were significant elements in the development of traffic jamblues, where the guitar was may be tuned down to open G or D. This sort of song was often very standard, with just 4 lines of verse and no chorus. Very often, the very first three lines of the verse were similar, and the fourth generateda small variation.
In typical guitar tuning, a specific fingerpicking design developed called 'monotonic bass' and was typical throughout all areas. The fingers typically selected tune on the treble strings, while the thumbhit a couple of bass notes to keep the beat. The string perspired or silenced heavily simply after sounding, so that it ended up being more of a 'thwack' than a musical note. It was a lot likea drum beat and this theory makes a great deal of sense, as drums were really outlawed for the black community in the early 1900s.
In the early part of the century piano music ended up being popular but was clearly restricted as pianos are much more expensive than guitars. Some guitarists realized that this might be simulated utilizing the thumb rotating in between the bass strings of a guitar and ragtime blues or Piedmont design was born.
The very finest guitarists took both of these styles and integrated them, producing some extremely amazing music. Such gamers would alternated their thumb throughout the basses, however could change to monotonic bass whenrequired to produce the wanted musical impact. Lots of took the design even further and usedthe thumb to pick any string at all. The thumb is genuinelyking when it pertains to fingerpicking the blues, whatever design is played.
It's usually acknowledged that the Delta was the crucible that formed the original blues music, spawning such blues males as Son Home, Leadbelly and the famousRobert Johnson.
A typical blues tune adhered to the 12 or 8 bar structure, extremely frequently in the secret of E or A, another form of the blues appeared that expressed the spiritual elements of individuals's lives, and the Spiritual design of roots music was birthed. The road to contemporary blues music is paved with numerous various designs from various guitarists fromalmost each and every state in America.
It set me off on a Youtube hunt for the old roots blues music, with it's associated African influences. Historians believe that the first music that could rightly be named blues showed up in the Mississippi Delta in the Deep South of America in the late 1890s.
Delta Blues Guitar Essentials
It could be stated that the Mississippi Delta is the home ofblues guitar in it's purest kind. Of course, the very first blues music was made without any instrument at all, being created through a call and action type field yelp planned to help slaves work more difficult. Gandy Dancers was thename offered to the groups of railway workers that would typically use song to manage their work pace. Each male would push the end of a steel pinch bar under a rail whilesinging a tune. At the end of a verse, or indeed, anyagreed point, each guy would push and the rail would moveover simply an inch or 2.
Any kind of work that required joint effort orwas repetitive like hammering or sawing wasa fine contender for this type of early unaccompanied blues tune. It isn't too clear when the first instruments started to appear since there are no accurate records from that time, but anecdotal proof suggest that lots of people made their own guitars and fiddles from whatever products werelaying around at the time. Lightnin' Hopkins recalls making his first guitar from an old stogie box, a broom handle and alength of wire pulled from his patio screen door!
It merely wasn't possible to utilize an range of the guitar chords essential to develop intricate songs. The first guitars hadanywhere between one and 5 strings and were most typicallyplayed with a bow or a bottleneck (slide).
Sometimes a knife was used to stress thesehome made guitars, however mostly the neck of a damaged bottle was just laid across the neck at different angles and moved up and down to hit the proper note. It was a hit and miss out on affair, and so the slide was vibrated a little before discovering the ideal note, at the very same time assisting in discovering the note however also producing an psychological and spooky noise when done correctly. Another reasonfor this style of playing was that the weather was humid and typicallyhot , which was not a good combination for woodeninstruments, which went out of tune really rapidly.
Guitar Strings Utilized For Acoustic Blues Guitar
Musical instrument strings appeared in the accepted type way back inthe 7th century, when it was found that a dried length of sheep gut wouldsound a note at different tensions. If the string was secured across a box made of wood, and a hole wasintroduced, then the first lute was taking shape.Various parts ofanimals were utilized for centuries for making the fore-runners of the modern-day guitar and it wasn't until the startof the 18th century that metal began to appear, when instrumentmakers were likewise browsing for additional variety and tonality from their strings.
The guitar in it's contemporary form initiallyappeared in the 13th century and up till the 18th century was type of per shaped with 8 pairs of strings which weer often different evaluates and tuned an octaveapart. This meant that the luthier could get thetonal variety without using excessive stress to an specific string, due to the fact that the materials were simply not dependableenough. In the future, brand-new approaches ofproducing metal strings paved the way to a 6string variation. More tension might be appliedto the brand-new products and by differing the gauge of thestring, or by applying an additional spiral winding of a different metal, a broad varietyon tonality could be attained.
The significant assesses of acoustic blues guitarstrings are heavy, medium and light, although each group is furtherseparated into medium-light, extra-light, and so on. It depends onthe design of playing and the music which strings are used n which sort of guitar. For instance, a flat picker uses a plectrum and tend sot favor medium gauge strings which have a bass gauge of 56thousandths of an inch. With thisthickness of string, the guitar can be played rather hard without any fear of buzzing or other strange noises.
Finger design gamers who use plastic or steel finger picks might also use medium gauge, because their fingers do not need to suffer a lot when they call the strings.On the other hand, a bare finger picker has the tendency to use light gauge phosphor bronze variants, so that they can play complicated arrangements with a delicate touch. On of the problems with bare fingerplaying is that the soft pointers of the finger don'tmake a lot of sound when they pluck the strings, so amplificationis often required to make enough noise for the audience without playing so hard that the strings buzz.
The first guitars had anywhere in between one and 5 strings andwere most often played with a traffic jam or a bow (slide). The guitar in it's modern-day type first appeared in the 13th century and up until the 18th century was kind of per formed with 8 pairs of strings which weer often different assesses and tuned an octave apart. The major determines of acoustic blues guitar strings are heavy, medium and light, although each group is additional separated into medium-light, extra-light, etc. It depends on the design of playing and the music which strings are used n which kind of guitar. With this density of string, the guitar can be played quite hard without any fear of buzzing or other unusual sounds.
