Chapter 3. Inside Radiation0 Reviews
Not really drama, but whatever. Rade's P.O.V
He calmly placed the aviators on the bridge of his nose as he walked to her doorway, imagining her face when she would see them. Black Radiation had snuck into Toxic Renegade's room, again, and taken her fingerless leather gloves and aviators. Knowing her well, he could almost hear her cursing and throwing her things around in her frenzied search for her things. Opening her door to view a, however attractive, inappropriately topless torso. Roman allowed his eyes to linger on her chest a few moments before knocking on the door frame, and when she turned around, he spoke.
"Hey Toxic. It'd be nice if you didn't tear you'r hair out right now, you know. They're coming today." He teased, reminding her of the Killjoys. All he felt then was his heart speeding up and the thoughts running around in his head as she slowly stood up and glared at him.
"Hand over my glasses Rade, and I promise your sweet little whore won't get hurt." Her voice like poisoned silk in his ears. He loved getting reactions from her even if she was threatening his girlfriend. He narrowed his eyes to play along, feeding her ego.
"Don't you touch her Renegade. Don't you fucking dare." Roman growled, running fingers through his hair, and internally beaming at how she noticed it(he'd never show her how happy that made him). All bitchiness drained from her face, and rushed back in a manner of seconds.
"You want me to leave her alone? Then hand over the hostages. Unharmed." Toxic narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips, bringing forth former hatred. Radiation always found this so cute, she was trying not to smile. "Now, boy," she demanded. Roman just grunted, removed the gloves and aviators. He smirked at how she looked at him, he knew she liked him, but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted her to need him. Allowing his icy blue eyes to travel along her body, making her shiver, he remembered ab out her... current state.
"Clothe yourself, Toxic. We wouldn't want your idols to get the wrong impression now would we?" She looked down at herself. Apparently she didn't know she lacked any clothing. But she showed no sign of alarm or embarrassment.
"If we're worrying about wrong impressions then why aren't you on a leash? Cant have them thinking you can actually think for yourself, now can we?" God, he hated when she reminded him of Annie's "rules". One of them being, and I quote, 'Someone has to always be in the room with you if Toxic Renegade is there. I can't bear to think of what she'd try'. All he could get out to voice his disapproval for the subject, was a frown and a growl before she smiled and pushed him out the door. After Toxic slammed it in his face, He turned on heel and shuffled to Lillie's shy, intelligent, practically mind reading best friend-who was currently waiting for them on a park bench-Insanity reaction(a.k.a. Nereid).
Sorry this one is super short, but I have school tomorrow and need to sleep, I will continue this chapter tomorrow!-Toxic

World Environment Day
Today is World Environment Day (the pictures are from the rally we went on yesterday. Grumble's first rally - what a proud activist mum I am!). Make a difference - it's easier than you think! Here's some ideas to get you going:
- Ride a bike or walk instead of taking the car. Think of how toned you'll soon be, too!
- Fix those dripping taps. A tap that drips once a minute wastes a bathtub of water a month. Cripes!
- Grow some vegies in your garden, or even just some lettuce in a pot. The less food miles, the better, eh?
- Turn off lights you don't really need on, and put on a jumper instead of whacking on the heating.
All of those ideas will help you save money, too. And if you're feeling inspired and want to read more, check out Treehugger.com. And happy WED to you all!

Login System Help
I am trying to create a program that has a login system that works like this if possible....
In the VB Program the login section has 2 form fields, a Username and Password then a connect button. When you click connect to login and continue onto the next section it checks the username and password on my phpbb forums databse which is a mysql database on my website.
I read some sites that sounds like it might work but it mentions databse ip which I dont know, its on a Yahoo! Geocities Web site services.
Login System
I am looking to create a simple login system that protects certain pages
eg. there are 2 users of the system, i want them to only view 1 sheet, the sheet which holds data about them. So when they click the link taking them to their sheet they have to enter a password first.
This might make it simpler
enter password
access to their data sheet
Ive looked in the help files for some information on this, all i have found is:
Set user = object.CreateUser (name, pid, password)
thanks in advance

Vb Login System
Hi i'm new to this forum and wondered if any of you could help me with the login system i'm making as part of my coursework.
So far it writes the user info into a text file, but i am having trouble checking the username and password against those stored in the file. this is what i have so far...
User Creation:
If TXTemail.Text = "" Or TXTusername.Text = "" Or TXTsurname.Text = "" Or TXTfirstname.Text = "" Or TXTpass.Text = "" Or TXTpass.Text <> TXTpass2.Text Then
n = n + 1
Users(n).FirstName = TXTfirstname.Text
Users(n).Surname = TXTsurname.Text
Users(n).UserName = TXTusername.Text
Users(n).Password = TXTpass.Text
Users(n).Email = TXTemail.Text
Open "UserInfo.text" For Append As #1
Write #1, Users(n).FirstName, Users(n).Surname, Users(n).UserName, Users(n).Password, Users(n).Email
Close #1
NumberOfRecords = NumberOfRecords + 1
Open "NumberOfRecords.text" For Output As #1
Write #1, NumberOfRecords
Close #1
End If
User Login:
Open "UserInfo.text" For Input As #1
n = 1
Do While (Not EOF(1))
Input #1, Users(n).UserName, Users(n).Password
If TXTusername.Text = Users(n).UserName Then
If TXTpass.Text = Users(n).Password Then
Close #1
End If

n = n + 1

Login System Help
Hello, i've been clicked around on your forum and found incredible works from people allover the world, incredible.. I hope you can help me with my project..
I have created a just a simple "Create" form, that creates .txt files into the right folder where i want it, then my question is.. how can i make a login form for it?
And my second question, How can i get it to get "public" so people can
connect to the same server, is it Winsock i'll be using or Mysql??
I just want a simple login system to my program.
So the easiest way will be the best in this case.
Hope you can give me a answer, thanks..
here's the code i use.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Len(Dir$(App.Path & Text1.Text & ".txt")) = False Then
Open App.Path & Text1.Text & ".txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, Text1.Text
Print #1, Text2.Text
Print #1, Text3.Text
Print #1, Text4.Text
Close #1
Let Text1.Text = ""
Let Text2.Text = ""
Let Text3.Text = ""
Let Text3.Text = ""
Call MsgBox("text " & Text1.Text & " text ")
Call MsgBox("text " & Text1.Text & " text ")
Call MsgBox(" text , " & Text3.Text & " text")
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Login System
I have made a login system that calls to my server for confirmation.
At load up, it prompts the user for Username and Password as shown in the picture.
On my host I have it set up as such -
Username input calls to www.yoursite.com/acc/namehere/Username.txt
Password input calls to www.yoursite.com/acc/namehere/Password.txt
I would like to know if it is possible to load a Excel document to my host so that I do not have to continue to make seperate folders for seperate accounts. I want everything to be on one form, and I want the login function to call to it.
Login System
I now have a simple VB app which code looks like:
PHP Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Text1.Text = "MyUser" And Text2.Text = "MyPass" Then
Form2.Visible = True
Form1.Visible = False
Else: MsgBox "Wrong Username/Password", vbCritical, "Error!"
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
End Sub
Its 2 textfields, username(Text1.Text) and password(Text2.Text)
And a login button.
When the login button is clicked, it checks whether the username+password are correct. If not, it says wrong username/pass.
But I want to give this to several users, and want to change their passwords at any time.
So for this I thought opening a winsock connection to 2 textfiles, check if the file contains the username/pass, if it does.. then allow them in. If not, give some error.
Can this be done with VB Winsock?
All I need is some kind of simple login system like this, some sample would be great. Thanks in advance, greatly apprecciated.

Newbie- Login System
Is there any good reference / source codes where i can actually get information on the following problem,
I need to create a login system (username, password) that actually reads from a text file (separated by comma) to compare the one from the textbox (entered by user). If it is a valid username and password, then proceed to the next form. This is relatively easy using a database access method, however i have to deal with files this time around. Any help please.
Thanks a lot.

VB6 Login System Urgent Help Needed!
Hi, i am relatively new to visual basic but know some basic concepts.
my current project involves the use of lots of user names passwords and other details on the people involved, i don't know how to make a script that allows the details to be added to a document of some kind (registration) then uploaded to our site or something (Ideally a file that cant be read by the user, for other users sake) and referred to later for logins, also one that is updated to keep up with new users by using a built in update system.
I hope you understand what im getting at and that someone can offer me help in a basic manor that a noob can understand.
Ill answer any questions and explain anything i have missed

I am creating a Helpdesk system in Access and I would like to create a simple login system. I would have a login table with the Fields "USER ID", "PASSWORD", "ACCESS LEVEL" and "STAFF ID". When someone enters the database I would like a form to pop up which would request the user to enter their ID and password. What I need the login system to be able to do is:
1)Check that the user ID and password match from the login table
2)Direct the user to a form dependent upon their access level (there will be a form for helpdesk users and a unique one for the helpdesk manager ie. 2 acess levels)
3)Store the user ID the user logged in with in a temporary table (known as a control table in Delphi) whilst they are logged in such that for example an object on the form could display the logged in user's name (a staff ID in the login table allows a relationship between it and a STAFF table to be made).
I'm sure that this would require VBA programming of some sort but am a novice when it comes to VBA!
Problem If UserId Does Not Exist When Login To The System.
I have login form with txtUserId, txtPwd and txtDept. I can successfully login to the system with UserId and Password whereby the Dept will automatically displayed on the form. But i'm having problem when the UserId entered is incorrect. It gives me an error,
This is what i've done,
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set Adologin = New Recordset
Adologin.Open "select user_id,password, dept from
tbluserlogin", db, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
End Sub
Private Sub cmdOK_Click(Index As Integer)
Do Until Adologin.EOF
usercode = Adologin.Fields("user_id").Value
If usercode = txtUserid.Text Then
Exit Do
End If
If Not Adologin.EOF Then

If Pass = txtPassword.Text Then
Unload Me
MsgBox "Password is incorrect!", , "Warning!!"
Exit Sub
End If
MsgBox "User ID was not found.", , "Warning!"
End If
End Sub
Private Sub txtpassword_GotFocus()
Set Ado = New Recordset
Ado.Open "select dept from tbluserlogin Where user_id
='" & txtUserid.Text & "'", db, adOpenStatic,
txtDept.Text = Ado.Fields("dept").Value
End Sub
what i need is to display the relevant department when the user inputs his/her userID.
it works if i enter correct user id (either with correct pwd or wrong pwd), but if the user id is incorrect, this error comes out,
Run-time Error '3021':
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.
when i click on Debug button, it goes to this line,
txtDept.Text = Ado.Fields("dept").Value
any idea?
thanx in advance..;)
Database Login
I've just been messing about with a really good bit of source code I found.
It uses the Data object to open an Access file (.mdb) and reads the info (Username & Password) into 2 hidden Labels, then checks them with what you entered, blah blah.
Just looking at the Datas Properties though, and as it's Connect property you can set it to Text (Data1.Connect = "Text;").
I just wondered if this simply means you can make it access a .txt file?
If so, how is the information formatted within the .txt file?

Database Login
I am creating a login routine that will check the username and password in table. I have managed to get it to work. The problem is i have used the .Find method to find the Username, if the username exists in the database and the password is the same in the record it will login, however, if the username is incorrect then and error message is generated (See below). Is there a more efficient way to create a login routine for this database via VB? Otherwise, how would i check to see if the username is actually in the database?
Run-time error '3021':
Either BOF or EOF is true, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

Thanks in advance!

Create Login W/out Using Database?
Just a simple question from a newbie...
How can you create a login form for your application w/out using a database? I don't know how to use (or what's the use) of the Registry. What are the advantages of programming the Registry anyway?
As to the login, the user should be able to change his/her username and password anytime. What's the best way to do this?
I really need help on this.
Thanks a lot!!!
Creating A Login Database
Ok...I'm working on a 2d MMORPG(Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) I implemented the multiuser chat with no problem, but now the time has come to implement the login database...I have never worked with database programming before and would just like someone to give me a little bit of sample code and to point me in the right direction of where to read up on it, etc.
I just need to create a database with two fields - Username and Password. When the user connects he types in his username and password, it checks it against the database and if its correct info it lets him in. If not it asks him to try again with different info.
How To Make A Login For An Acces Database?

Access Database Login Routine
Can anybody help?
I have created a number of Access databases in 2000 format for the department I work in to log tasks and various other things. However, I want to have a central login page where users will have to enter a username and password to have access to these databases. But I want each user to have a "Security Level" associated with them which, depending on the level of security, will give them access to each database that matches the level of security e.g. Database 1 requires a security level of 3 or higher, Database 2 requires a security level of 2 or higher etc, etc. What I need help with is the easiest and most secure means of doing this. Some people have mentioned about having the passwords encrypted before they're stored, but I'm not sure how to do this.
If someone has got a demo database that they could send onto me that would be great.
V2005, LogIn Form With SQL Database
Hello all.
I'm new to this forum, so please bare with me.
I'm trying to create a LogIn form that checks what the user has inputted against what is stored in the Database.
I have two tables in the Database, users and passwords (Am I even doing that right?).
However, I'm having a massive amount of trouble getting the program to check against the Database.
I've been looking for hours at various tutorials and what not but none of them have advanced me any further.
If anyone could advise me (not sure how long it would take since I'm still learning), or point me in a direction that would help me a lot, I'd appreicate it.
Thanks in advance.
Backup Database To Network Using SA Login
I need to backup my database to the network. The problem is that I will be doing this while logged in as SA. Is there anyway to get SQLServer to use an actual NT login to attach to the network drive.
Currently I get an Access Denied error from the OS. I am assuming that this is because SQL is trying to use SA on my domain and that user doesn't exist in the domain
Thanks in advance

Login Using MS Access Database For Verification
Right, Hello!
Some people know me already, some dont - but if either can help, youre all great
basically my application needs multiple users.
an Administrator who can do just about anything
other Staff who can use the app
guest user who can use it with limited and/or varying functions
All i want is for any given user to log on with a username and password, then i want my application to check with a database (ms access) to verify the input info.
The only snag is it will only compare the input with the first record in my database (using the ADODC datacontrol and datagrid control)
the code i have used is as follows (The two fields in my database are UserID and Password):
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
If txtPass.Text = frmPass.Adodc1.Recordset.Fields("Password") And txtUser.Text = frmPass.Adodc1.Recordset.Fields("UserID") Then
frmSwitchboard.Visible = True
MsgBox "Login Failed. Please check your UserID and Password."
End If
End Sub
(frmSwitchboard is what becomes availiable if the userID and password mathc records. frmPass is my Login form.)
So, basically how do i modify that code so it will search all records within the database, instead of just the first one!
as usual any and all help is appreciated!

Login Script Useing A DataBase
Ok I fought with this for a log time and finally got it. I came in here for the help I needed to get me on the right track. Now I have it runnign perfectly so I'll share the end result with everybody so that anyone else who has bee fighting with this can get through it with alot more ease then I did.
1. Create the database. For thoughs of you who have never used a database before you probally have no idea how to do this. So I'll walk you through it.
a. Goto the Add-Ins menu and select Visual Data Manager. this will load the visual data manager which in turn you can use to create your data base
b. Make sure that the Table type Recordset and Use Data Control on new Form buttons are selected on the tool bar.
c. Goto the File menu select New then select Microsoft Access and finally select the latest version of the data base.
d.Now name the database and save it to the location you want it to be accessed from.
e. Right click Properties and select New Table
f. Name the Table. I'll use the name UserProfile for reference sake.
g. Click add feild
h. Name the feild.I'll use the name Users for reference sake.
i. Click Add Feild
j. Add the information that you need to access durin your login sequeince and there data types. UserName and UserPass for the most basic of login scripts.
k. Close the Add Feild form.
l. Click the Build the Table button.
m. Right click Users and select open.
n Add a few users to your data base. Besure to clickUpdate and Add after each one.
o. Close the Table.
p. Select the File[/B menu and select Close
q. Now close the Visual Data Manager[/B]
Congradulations you have just created your first data base.
Now that you have the data base you'll need to add a couple of controls to your login form.
2. Start by deleting the Username Textbox and replacing it with a DBCombo Name this DBCombo DBName.
3. Add a Data Control Set the properties as follows:
DataBaseName=the location of your newly made DataBase
RecordSource=Users or whatever you named the feild you placed your userlist in.
4. Add a DBGrid Set the properties as follows:
DataSource=Data1Or whatever you named your Data Control
5. Now add this code to your OK button
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
'Sets Variables for Password script using
'Data Base
Dim List As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim Record As Integer
Dim UserName As String
Dim UserNeed As String
Dim UserPass As String
'Initalizes Record so that if no record
'so the value can be checked later to
'check if the UserName was found
Record = -1
'Sets userneed to the inputted name
UserNeed = DBName.Text
'deturmains how many users are in the
'data base
List = DBGrid1.VisibleRows
'Goes through the data base one record at
'a time looking for the UserNeed
For i = 1 To List
UserName = DBGrid1.Columns(0).CellText(DBGrid1.RowBookmark(i - 1))
'If the User Need is found it sets
'record to the records index
If UserName = UserNeed Then
Record = i - 1
End If
Next i
'Displayes message if record exits the sub
' and ereases the inputed text
' if the record is not found
If Record = -1 Then
MsgBox "Sorry That User name Does Not Exsits"
DBName.Text = ""
Exit Sub
End If
'Pulls the password off of the data base
UserPass = DBGrid1.Columns(1).CellText(DBGrid1.RowBookmark(Record))
'Check for the corect Password
If TxtPassword.Text = UserPass Then
Loads the program if
'the correct pasword is entered
Unload frmLogin
'displayes a message and earases the
'inputted password if pasword is
'input incorrectly
Else: MsgBox "Incorect Password Please Try Again"
TxtPassword.Text = ""
End If
End Sub
That completes your login Script I hope that you will find as much use for this as I already have.

No more 40 mans! They were hell!
No more 40 mans! They were hell!
On a related note: Why do we have 10 and 25 mans? Why not 10 and 20 mans? It just seems odd. Say you have 2 10-man groups in Naxx. When the 10 mans are cleared, we should be able to just combine the groups and head into the heroic. Why look to the bench or PuG 5 more people?
At least with the old raids the numbers made sense: 20-man and 40-man. Take your two 20 man raids and just combine them and head into the 40-man! Why can't they apply this reasoning to the current model?

30 March 2011 at 1:22pm
I keep getting the "Error saving content" message when I try to save or save and publish pages that write information to more than one table in the db. I have tried upgrading to the most recent version of SS. I have also checked the permissions of the db user , I am working in dev enviroment and I have firebug which is telling me errorMessage(msg="Error saving content", fullMessage="404//<?xml version="1.0...v>\r\n \r\n\r\n")LeftAn...1440286 (line 490)
msg = "Error saving content"
fullMessage = "404//<?xml version="1.0...v>\r\n \r\n\r\n" but nothing really specific. I have tried redoing each template and rebuilding the db but nothing is working. Any ideas would be great!

I have realised now that this is only happening when I use the HTMLTextEditor option, and feel it must be a permission issue with the server? However I am still not sure where I need to be looking please if you have any ideas let me know

Soccerphile - did you email silverstripe.com? They will simply point you back to the IRC and forum channels as if we answered everyones email personally we wouldn't have time for any actual work!
As for the error saving content - try searching the forum before you post, lots of threads discuss ways to debug this to get more information. If you have firebug (for firefox) you can see the error in your console panel, if you're using webkit then you can see the error in the 'network' tab. If you don't use either firefox or webkit, check your server PHP error log for the actual error message.

I have the same problem every month trying to over-write the file. Even if I try to publish an empty file or a file with one word in it, it still doesn't work. But it only doesn't work in particular folders not the entire site. Maybe it's the alignment of the universe. Observation of the problem seems to be that once you start getting the message "Error saving content" that particular folder of files will never work even if you delete all the contents and start from scratch. It's heart in mouth time whenever you save and publish coz if it the curse comes to that folder, you are doomed.

Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood
Extract from The Mysteries of Jesus (Sakina Books, 2000)
If the Arabian prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) is to be considered part of the same stream of tradition as the other great prophets of that stretch of desert land, can we identify any mention of him in the Bible texts?
Muslims regard Muhammad as the final prophet, the seal over all who went before him. Can we find any forth-tellings of his coming in the present-day Christian scriptures; or would any such prophecy been a prime candidate for redaction and censorship, so that at best such anticipations today appear in heavily disguised form, legible only to the expert? This is an important matter. For if it is true that Muhammad must be recognised as a Messenger of God by people of Christian or Jewish inheritance, it would surely be strange if their texts included prophecies referring to the penultimate Messenger, but lacked indications of the later Seal who was to come.
In fact, the Old and New Testaments do contain evidence that there existed an expectation not only of a Messiah for the Jewish people, but also of another prophetic figure whose time would come later.[1] One very important prophecy of this type is the one attributed to Moses, and recorded in Deuteronomy 18:
In these words the author, perhaps Moses himself, sets the criterion for knowing the truth of a prophecy. Needless to say, it would also apply to his own prophecy with which he commenced this passage. If Moses himself, as a man who was himself recognised as a prophet of God, was not 'speaking presumptuously', then one should expect the foretold event to come to pass. Did it? Who was the 'prophet like unto him'? That description would surely signify a prophet who was called to be a lawgiver to the people, setting out God's commandments clearly for the masses to listen and understand. Which prophet fits most closely to one who had the words of God put into his mouth, so that he repeated to the people all that he heard from God? A Christian might like to see a reference to the coming of Jesus in these words, but surely none fits the description more closely than the Blessed Muhammad.[2]
The ministry of Jesus was specifically delivered to convince the people that the Kingdom of God would be set up on earth. Muslim scholars maintain that this would come about through a Messenger of the family of Ishmael, the eldest son of Abraham, and thus heir of the original Covenant with Abraham.
They claim it is contentious editing of history that has falsely presented Abraham's second son Isaac as the heir. Anyone with a knowledge of nomadic sheikhdom would understand that the eldest son was commissioned as 'lord' of the tribe (and therefore he and his descendants ruled from the Arabian region around the ancient shrine of Mecca), whereas the youngest son, in this case Isaac, would have had the role of 'guarding the hearth' (and staying with his father's private tents and herds). The latter's mission is hence local.
Genesis 15 reports the distress of Abraham that he had no son to be his heir, although he had the promise that his 'seed' would inherit from him (Genesis 15:4). God 'brought Abraham outside and said, "Look toward heaven and number the stars, if you are able to number them." Then he said to him, "So shall your descendants be".' Then Abraham asked for some proof, and was told to take three young animals and two birds. The animals were cut in two halves, and Abraham waited as the next day wore on, driving away all the birds of prey that came down on them. At sunset, he fell into a trance-like sleep, and God gave him prophecies about his descendants that would be slaves in Egypt (the descendants of the unborn Isaac). When the sun had gone and it was dark, a smoking fire-pot and a flaming torch passed between the cut pieces of the animal carcasses, and God made a covenant with Abraham: 'To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates.' His was the task of subjugating ten different nations between those two rivers (Genesis 15:18-21).[3] This promise of an heir was fulfilled when Ishmael was born (Genesis 16), and in due course, Ishmael's descendants did subjugate all those peoples, an actual and literal fulfilment of one of the conditions of the Covenant which is usually overlooked.
When Ishmael was thirteen years old a further Covenant was made between God and Abraham: the Covenant of circumcision. Abraham circumcised himself, and his son Ishmael, and all his household that very day. All this took place long before Isaac was born. However, it was true that God had also promised that the barren Sarah would bear a son and that there would be an everlasting covenant with him too (Gen 17:15-19).
Sometimes it is argued that Isaac was Abraham's true heir, as his mother was the beloved wife, and Ishmael's mother only a servant, and hence, according to traditional assumptions, to be despised. But Deuteronomy 21:15-17 presents the true legal picture. If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other despised, and each has a son, and if the son of the despised wife is the first-born, that son, and not the son of the beloved wife, is still entitled to the birthright. The prophecy that 'by Abraham all the generations of the earth shall be blessed', would therefore more clearly refer to the heritage by birthright of Ishmael, and not Isaac.
The text of Genesis 22 now goes on to talk of Isaac as Abraham's 'only son', and records Abraham's famous test of obedience when he was asked to sacrifice him. In the Bible narrative, Isaac is kept in ignorance of what is going to happen until the very last moment. He is saved from the sacrifice when an angel of God stays Abraham's hand, and a ram caught in a thicket is substituted as the sacrifice.
Professor Dawud, the former bishop who has meditated extensively on these themes, comments that 'to efface the name Ishmael from the second, sixth and seventh verses of Genesis 22 and to insert in its place "Isaac", yet to leave the epithet "the only begotten son" is to deny the existence of the former and to violate the Covenant made between God and Ishmael.'[4]
Sura 37:100-113 has rather different emphases: when Ishmael was about fourteen ('the age of serious work'), Abraham had a vision (or dream) that he should sacrifice Ishmael. He asked the boy's opinion, and Ishmael agreed that he would do whatever was God's will, and urged his father to sacrifice him, if that was what God required. However, God does not require the flesh and blood of animals (Sura 22:37), much less of human beings: what He requires is the giving of our whole being to Him. The 'momentous sacrifice' with which the youth was ransomed is commemorated in the great annual festival of Hajj and Eid ul-Adha. It was as a reward for Abraham's faith that God granted the son Isaac to Abraham's barren wife Sarah.
Genesis, true to its generally negative portrayal of Sarah, offers the story of her jealousy of Hagar and Ishmael, and her request that he be cast out: a thing which greatly displeased Abraham, although he complied (Gen 21:10-11). He sent them away into the southerly 'wilderness of Beersheba', where Ishmael nearly died of thirst. However, God sent an angel to save him, and Ishmael survived. He lived 'in the wilderness of Paran', and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt, from whence she herself had come (Gen 16:1).[5]
The Qur'anic version does not record a comparable character lapse on the part of either Sarah or Abraham. Ishmael is left with Hagar in the valley-floor of Mecca, where Abraham trusts that God will take care of them. Hagar's desperate search for water is commemorated in the ritual of the sa'y during the Hajj; the spring of water revealed by the angel still flows today, and is called Zamzam. Sura 2:124-129 tells of Abraham and Ishmael sanctifying the Ka'ba, and raising the foundations of the House.
Ishmael's firstborn Kedar became the ancestor of the Arabs who from that time until now are the dwellers of the wilderness of Paran. As Dawud notes, this makes passages such as Deuteronomy 33:2 extremely interesting: 'The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir[6] unto them; He shined forth from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints. From his right hand went forth a fiery law for them.' Dawud identifies that Mount Paran with Mount Arafat near Mecca, and claims this passage as a direct prophecy concerning the 'one who was to come', the Hmd (or 'Ahmad', or 'Praised one'). Dawud also picks out many possible Old Testament references to this man known as the 'Himada' (from the root hmd), which all point to a Messenger from the line of Ishmael.[7] For example, one prophecy in the ever-enigmatic Book of Habbakuk is that the glory of the Holy One from Paran will cover the heavens, and the earth will be full of his praise.
Other interesting passages occur in the book of the prophet Isaiah: 'Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of the rock [Petra?] sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory and declare His praise in the islands. He shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up zeal like a man of war, he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.' (Isaiah 42:11)
Other prophesies concerning Kedar occur in Isaiah 50:7 and 50:13-17. 'All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto You, the rams of Nabaioth (the Nabataeans) will minister unto You; they shall come up with acceptance on My altar, and I will glorify the house of My glory.' (Isaiah 50:7)
Ishmael inhabited the wilderness of Paran, where he sired the Arabian patriarch Kedar; and if the 'sons of Kedar' received revelation from God and accepted it, and came to a divine altar to glorify 'the house of My glory', then surely the 'holy one from Paran' of Habbakuk 3:3 is none other than the Blessed Muhammad. And Mecca is the house of God's glory where the 'flocks of Kedar' came to bow the knee. The 'flocks of Kedar' have never come to the Trinitarian church, and have remained impenetrable to any influence of it.
The prophet Haggai, seeing the older generation weeping because of their disappointment that after their exile in Babylon the rebuilt Jewish Temple did not match up to the original one, consoled them with the message: 'And I will shake all nations, and the Himada [the treasure?] of all the nations will come; and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of Hosts […] The glory of My last house shall be greater than the first one, says the Lord of Hosts; and in this place, I will give shalom [cognate with islam].' (Haggai 2:7-9)
The New Testament documents are the work of many hands, many of them quite unknown, and the search for predictions of the world-shaking event of Islam is necessarily fraught with difficulties. However Muslim writers suggest that one should look again at the interpretation of the references of Jesus to the 'Son of Man' who would come,[8] and in John's Gospel to the Counsellor who was to come after Jesus had left them. The Gospel calls this prophesied one a 'Paraclete', with the primary meaning of 'counsel for the defence'. This was later supposed to be the 'Holy Spirit', the third entity in the Trinity. However these passages could be no less credibly read as prophecies of the 'Himada' or 'Ahmad'. Given the defective orthography of the early Gospel texts, it is quite feasible that the Greek word was not parakletos but periklytos, thus corresponding exactly to 'Ahmad' or the Hmd, meaning 'illustrious', 'glorious' and 'praised'.[9]
Therefore Muslims believe that the paraclete spoken of in those 'Farewell Discourses' was not the third being in a Trinity, but the future prophet Muhammad. The words clearly show that the Comforter had to come after the departure of Jesus, and was not with him when he uttered these words. Are we to presume that Jesus was devoid of the Holy Spirit, if its coming was conditional on Jesus' leaving? The way in which Jesus describes him makes him a human being, with a particular role to fulfil.
Even if we include the words that Muslims would regard as Trinitarian editing, the prophecy runs: 'I will pray to the Father, and He will give you another Counsellor, to be with you for ever, even the spirit of truth,[10] whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows him [i.e. does not accept him]. You know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you' (Jn 14:16). 'These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Counsellor whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you' (Jn 14:25-26). 'When the Counsellor comes whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me' (Jn 15:26). 'When he comes, he will convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgement; of sin, because they do not believe in me; of righteousness, because I go to the Father; of judgement, because the ruler of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he shall not speak on his own authority, but whatever he shall hear, that he shall speak and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.' (Jn 16:8-16)
Muslims will recall straight away that the Qur'an consists not of the Prophet's own words, but that which he heard, which was revealed to him; and it was said of him in the Qur'an: 'Nay, he has come with the truth, and shows forth the truth of the Messengers.'
The Prophet Muhammad may have been the one foretold by John the Baptist (Mt 3:11; Lk 3:16). This would certainly explain why John carried on baptising, receiving initiates and disciples and foretelling a coming prophet more powerful than himself, without joining up with Jesus in Galilee. It is accepted by all Christians that Jesus and John had a parallel ministry until John's martyrdom at the hands of Herod Antipas (Mk 6); but how few have marvelled at the oddness of the fact that John, having spent all his ministry 'crying in the wilderness' to prepare the way for the one to come, did not become Jesus' closest and most intimate disciple. Our explanation also accounts for the rather odd remark Jesus made about John when he said that the 'least' in the Kingdom of Heaven would be greater than him. This sounds at first sight like an inexplicable and unnecessarily unpleasant derogatory remark; but if the word 'least' really meant the 'last' in the long line, the 'youngest', then what Jesus meant was that John had been the greatest of the prophets up to that time, but that the last of the prophets, the one who was still to come, would be greater than him: a remark that was in no way intended to belittle the saintly John. The Pshitta Version (the Aramaic version, which is older than the Latin Vulgate) does indeed use the word zira or zeira for 'least', meaning small or young, as opposed to rabba, meaning great or old.
Professor Dawud offers another interesting suggestion: could it be that the persecution of the true faith after the Council of Nicaea might have been prophesied in the enigmatic Book of Daniel? The 'four beasts' and the conquering 'Son of Man' of the vision in Daniel 7 have always invited speculative identifications; perhaps they represented the Chaldaeans (the eagle-winged lion), the Medo-Persian Empire (the bear), the Empire of Alexander the Great (the tiger with four wings and four heads), and the formidable Roman Empire (the fourth beast, the demon monster). The ten horns might have been the ten Emperors who persecuted the early Christians, down to the time of the so-called conversion of Constantine. So far, the beasts all represented the 'Power of Darkness', or the kingdom of Satan: idolatry itself.
But the nature and character of the Little Horn before which the three other horns fell, and which was finally defeated by a Bar Nasha (Son of Man) is quite different. It springs up after the Ten Persecutions under the Roman Emperors. The Roman Empire was then writhing under four rivals, Constantine being one of them. They were all struggling for the purple, and when the other three died or fell in battle, Constantine was left alone as the supreme sovereign of the vast Empire.
The earlier beasts were brutish, but the Little Horn possessed mouth and eyes: a hideous monster endowed with reason and speech. Maybe this was none other than Constantine, and the traditional presentation of him as 'the first Christian Emperor' is really Trinitarian propaganda. He was in fact one of the most dangerous and effective enemies of tawhid. The Little Horn was so diabolical and malignant, and his enmity to the faith the more harmful, because it sought to pervert the truth from within. This interpretation is on strikingly similar lines to that advanced by modern biblical experts who see Paul as the traitor and 'Liar' of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
This enemy spoke 'great things' against the Most High; the unity of God was openly and officially profaned by Constantine and his unbelieving ecclesiastical cronies as the Trinitarian dogmas of the Council of Nicaea were proclaimed and violently enforced by Constantine's edict, amidst the horror and protests of three-quarters of the Church's members! This Little Horn waged war against the saints of the Most High; so Constantine persecuted those Christians who, like the Jews, believed in the Absolute Unity of God.
The elders and ministers who opposed Trinitarianism were deposed or banished, their religious books suppressed, and their churches seized and handed over to Trinitarian bishops and priests. Merciless legions in every province were placed at the disposal of the ecclesiastical authorities, and a reign of terror against the unitarians lasted in the East for three and a half centuries: until a 'Son of Man' did restore the religion of One God, and Muslims liberated the lands trampled and devastated by the four beasts, from the Pyrenees to the walls of China.
The soul and kernel of what Jesus taught is contained in that famous clause in his prayer: 'Thy kingdom come! Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven!' Most Christians assume all sorts of illusory or meaningless things about the nature of this Kingdom. It is not a triumphant Catholic Church, nor a regenerated and sinless Puritan State. It is not a kingdom composed of celestial beings, including departed spirits of the believers under the reign of the Divine Lamb. The Kingdom of God on earth is a society of believers in One God equipped with faith to maintain its existence against the Kingdom of Darkness.
Jesus referred frequently to this kingdom which would come, and to the Bar Nasha or Son of Man who would inaugurate it; but Christians have assumed that Jesus meant his 'church', and that he himself was the Son of Man. Could he really have been referring to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad?
These theories also throw light on another religious group commended by the Qur'an along with certain Christians: the Sabians. Dawud interprets these as the followers of John the Baptist (Yahya ibn Zakariyya), adherents of a parallel movement to early Christianity, who were absorbed into Islam when it came. The Subba, or Sabaeans of the marshes are otherwise known as the Mandaeans in Southern Iraq. Significantly, 'Mandaean' was the name for the rank and file of these groups, whereas the Nazareans were the priestly elite.[14]
The original Aramaic or Hebrew word for the Greek 'baptism' is not certain. The Pshitta (Aramaic) version of the Gospels uses the word ma'muditha, from the verb aa'mid which means 'to stand up like a pillar'. Its causative form means 'to erect, set up, establish, confirm' and has no signification of bathing or washing. Arabic versions of the New Testament call the Baptist 'al-Ma'midan'.
In fact, the Greek baptismos derives from the Aramaic Sab'utha or Sbhu'tha, (Arabic cognate, sabagha), which has the sense of 'to dye, tincture or immerse'. These 'Masbutheans' (also called 'Besmotheans' and 'Subba') existed before the coming of Jesus – as did the Essenes of Qumran – and were either the same as, or strongly similar to, the Daily Bathers/Hermerobaptists and Sabaeans (or Sabuneans) mentioned by Hippolytus, whom we have encountered before. Probably all these names are simply overlapping designations and intertransference of various regions. These 'Baptists', like the Qumraners and Ebionites, led an austere life of self-discipline and prayer. Perhaps they caused their proselytes to stand straight like a pillar in a pool of water or river, in order to be baptised, whence the Pshitta name of Ma'muditha.
Baptism is not a purification (thara) or washing (rahsa) or immersion (tabhala), but a dyeing, a colouring (sab'aitha). Just as a Saba'a or dyer gives a new colour to a garment by dipping it into tincture, so a baptist gives a convert a new spiritual hue. It was a mark of admission into the society of purified penitents who promised loyalty to God and His apostles. It goes without saying that the baptism of John in the river of Jordan was considered sufficient to 'dye' the hundreds of Jewish penitents ('all the country of Judaea and the entire region about the Jordan' – Mt 3:5) who were baptised by him while confessing their sins. The idea of the shedding of the blood of a God-Man is superfluous.
There is little doubt that until the arrival of Paul on the scene, the followers of Jesus practised the same baptismal ritual as John. It may be significant that the converts of Samaria who had been baptised in the name of Jesus did not receive the Holy Spirit, but had to have an extra ritual: the laying on of hands (Acts 8:16-17). The same was said for John's baptism in Acts 19:2-7. This appears to indicate that Jesus' baptism was in actual fact precisely the same as that of John, and to provide evidence that the Trinitarian churches wantonly transformed the original rite into a sacrament or mystery. The statement that some twelve persons in Samaria 'had not yet received the Holy Spirit, because they were only baptised in the name of our Lord Jesus' (Acts 8:16-17) is surely decisive as evidence.
How was it that the Sabians did not embrace Trinitarian Christianity if their master John had truly and openly declared and presented Jesus as the 'more powerful' Prophet than himself who was to come, and whose shoes he was not worthy to unloose? The followers of John might have been excused if Jesus had come a century later; but they were contemporaries, born in the same year. They both baptised with water unto repentance, and prepared their penitent converts for the Kingdom of God that was approaching, but which was not to be established in their time.
The Sabians believed that although Jesus was one of the great Messengers, he was not the one referred to in the prophecy of John as the 'one who was to come'; most of them happily recognised and embraced Islam when it came.
It is all too obvious that those who believe in the doctrine that baptism means an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace, who believe that the 'inspiration' of the Holy Spirit fills the hearts of those who, in their emotional excitement and ecstasy, believe themselves to be 'new-born', are suffering from wishful thinking. These 'new-born' frequently slide back and become what they were before. The 'miracle' of the 'Holy Spirit' is a myth.[15] True baptism is that which comes only from submission to the Divine Will, and requires genuine commitment and a great deal of hard work.
The Baptism of God (sibghatu'Llah) does not move Muslims to believe themselves 'made holy'. Every Muslim has to run the race of our short earthly life to the best of his or her ability and effort, in order to win the crown of glory in the next world. Every Muslim needs education and training in accordance with the Word of God: but stands in no need of the intercession of a priest or sacrament. God Himself is quite enough.

Considering that "harm" actually means crashing into someone else and harming them as well, do you not think that perhaps they'd take issue with your personal evaluation of the probabilities on their behalf?
What you have done is set a new unofficial speed limit based on what you feel is safe. If it were up to you to officially make that the new speed limit, how do YOU enforce people from going over it?
It's impossible to do both of those, just like it's impossible to fund a health program (CHIP) with a tobacco tax while claiming that you want to get people to quit smoking at the same time. Of course, the end result is taxes being increased somewhere else (on people richer than you, or doing something you detest, of course).
TL;DR version: I'm going to claim that everyone is incapable of rational thought except, apparently, politicians who set speed limits.
I am usually seeing many coworkers confusion when using random numbers. Cause probably being that maths aren't usually teken at schools here in Hyderabad.
Re: Classic WTF: SuperRand
2012-12-27 12:22 • by Valued Service (unregistered)
I've watched cops ignore more careless drivers to get to that speeder because it's more money. Plus the cop ends up endangering traffic because it has to turn around, drive twice as fast as the speeder, and weave through traffic to get to speeder.
So now we have two careless drivers on the road and one controlled speeder off the road.
Yet, if there's a chase scenario they take extra precaution.
So, yes, I do believe there's an incredible money bias going on with cops deterring unsafe driving.
Re: Classic WTF: SuperRand
2012-12-27 13:17 • by Dan (unregistered)
I don't think it's about the money. Proving speeding in court is really simple, you have a machine that gives you a number. And because it's so easy to prove the cases almost never go to court. Careless driving is much more subjective, and the cop probably has to show up to court.
You seem to be under the delusion that your taxes are in any way impacted by the amount taken in by other revenue streams.
Let me help you with that. If there wasn't a speed limit law, then you could be assured that the state/city would not have to pay for:
1. Speed limit signs
2. Cops whose sole job is to pull you over for speeding
3. Courts (and associated paper pushers) to handle fine collection; and yes, there are courts just for this in a lot of areas.
4. etc, etc.
Fact is, yes towns receive revenue from speeders; however, the amount of revenue is generally not more than a minor percentage of the overall revenue a town has to work with. In a few cases it was and at least in the state I live in that was outlawed.
For those that think that a speed limit increases safety, the fact is they don't. The real problems only occur due to a difference in speeds between two objects. For example, if one person is driving 30 miles an hour faster than someone they are passing. The slower person is likely to not have seen the first one in time and could potentially collide due to a lane change.
However, if the difference in speed is reasonable, like 5 to 10 mph, then both drivers have ample opportunity to see each other and act accordingly. It doesn't matter if the overall speed is 120+, as long as the difference between the two is minor.
If we wanted to be real about the whole thing we'd have a speed limit for driving in a suburban area (like 20mph) another for "city" driving with multiple lanes (40 to 50) and leave the highways open with a minimum limit of 70.
Then post the cops where it matters. ie: suburban areas where walkers (or children) routinely are. Finally, instead of a fine simply take their license away. If driving without one, throw them in jail. That would solve the problem.
Next, bring back "at fault" with regards to accidents. If it can be proven you caused it you lose your license for 6 months.
Re: Classic WTF: SuperRand
2012-12-27 18:08 • by Matt Westwood
Silly approach to speeding regulation. What we do in the UK is put up automatic cameras which gather information on all the speeders driving past and send that data to the enforcement agencies which then mail the speeder with the fine and/or court summons. Saves the cops having to wear out their cars. The only overhead is maintenance of the cameras.

I don't really like politicians, it was just a rant triggered by the "if we get rid of all rules then everyone will pick the most optimal choice" argument.
Still, consider, for example, anchoring: if we took two identical copies of you, and we told the first one "did you know that a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport can run at 268 mph?" and the second one "did you know that the fastest human footspeed on record is just 28 mph?", and then asked both copies what speed they consider "safe" on a highway, I'm willing to bet the first one would say a higher number than the second one.

[quote=NotHere]The real problems only occur due to a difference in speeds between two objects.[/quote]
Ahem. Velocity. Considering as historically I have traveled perpendicular to the flow of traffic on I-35 (I walked away without injury, though my car was not so lucky; no one else was involved), that's a major distinction. Even if most of you are better drivers than I, that doesn't mean nothing can happen to cause you lose control of your car. It's also a large distinction if the other object is a large animal, or a car going the wrong way (e.g. passing on a two-lane highway), or if there's a house or wall on the side of the highway where you lose control.
Which is not to mention that as speed goes up, the range of speeds among the cars go up, too; if the speed limit is 100 MPH, you'll still have the people who can go 55.

Not necessarily. For any given position, each officer would have a weighted score based on some variable calculations (including the last time they took the post). If two officers are tied, you need some method of breaking the tie. Random works well here.
If officer A took the post yesterday but prefers the post more than officer B who had it the day before that, they could very well be equally weighted.
But, any random number is good enough here. IMO the programmer did some quick research on randomness and discovered that "computers aren't truely random because they use temporal algorithms" and didn't have enough experience to recognize that it doesn't matter if it's truly random or not.

So your solution to having to pay for "useless cops" clocking speeders is to put people in jail, and have excessive punishment for it?
trolling? I don't really like speedtraps either, but this is ridiculous.
1.) A cop sitting in a speed trap is still a patroling officer. He's going to respond to calls in his area, he's going to arrest the drug dealer down the corner from the speed trap, and he's still going to pull over the
2.) The danger of speeding that I'm concerned with isn't you getting in a fender bender with another car, it's not fearing for my children's life whenever they're anywhere near a roadway. There are plenty of areas in my neighborhood where I could "safely" do 75 mph instead of 35 and be just fine...if it was in the middle of a desert and not a neighborhood.
3.) You fail to recognize that the fear of getting a speeding ticket is enough to deter most people from speeding. I'm prime example of this -- I sped all the time untill I got tired of getting speeding tickets (even to the point where I was on probation for it). Even if they were speeding, they would likely brake when they saw the cop... inherently making them safer.
4.) Most accidents don't occur when people were fully aware of the capabilities of their vehicle under given conditions, it's when they DON'T. Therefore saying we should be left completely to our judgment is absolutely ridiculous. Sure, go 75 mph down that road because it's safe right now... good luck braking safely before that 20mph sharp turn ahead that you didn't know about though. Not to mention, how would you know it's a 20mph turn without the speed sign?
Re: Classic WTF: SuperRand
2013-01-02 18:04 • by AN AMAZING CODER (unregistered)
You're aware the civil engineers are involved in setting the guidelines for determing the speeds right? In fact, the speed limit laws in my state explicity state "Unless otherwise posted". Meaning, for example, The state decides that 45 mph is the speed limit for a rural route, unless an engineer decides that 50mph is OK or 35mph is the safest limit.
The reason some highways are 70mph and others are 55mph isn't completely related to state laws.
TL:DR; I'm going to make a blanket statement that all politicians are dumb, and that all laws are created without expert opinion.

Parents are responsible for keeping their children out of the street. (I'm not being flippant, just putting the cost of externalities on those who create them.)
Estimate the average percentage of drivers around you speeding. Realize your statement is absurd.
Your example of speed limits being effective is someone who, while speed limits were abundant, sped anyway.
The first car in a line a dozen long braking from 85 to 65 as fast as they can is not safe; it's something I've seen quite often, though.
In most states, the yellow speed limit signs by curves are advisory only.
If you want to ignore what I said as a mere difference of opinion, that's fine by me. Please, though, don't ignore the real evidence available; read about speed limits and safety from respectable academic sources. You will likely be surprised.

In most states the cop has to show up for a speeding ticket, unless you plead guilty and just pay the ticket(which allot of people do).
The reason I do think speeding tickets are more about revenue then deterrent is how easy they make it to just pay. You usually can pay online. You can often pay extra and get the points waived. A stronger deterrent would be to make you go to court. Time being more valuable than money to allot speeders (why their speeding in the first place).
Yea, I'm the original submitter on this one. Since this first posted, to accommodate some pretty radical changes in scheduling, I was given a much freer hand. I jotted down some rough algorithms by hand (rather than re-use code there was no way I could trust, or even follow in some cases), and started from scratch. The downside is, because it had been around long enough to gather momentum, it had to be done entirely in Excel with VBA still. And it had to look the same.
There's, maybe, a little less WTF in there now. Higher-level coding was never my strong suit, and VBA is....interesting when it comes to more complex stuff.

It's not your speeding I'm worried about, it's mine. I've only been driving for about five years, and I've already been in one (minor) accident. Why? Because I wasn't paying attention.
People deliberately deciding to speed are one thing; people who just don't make the effort to be aware of their vehicle are another thing entirely. And someone who isn't paying attention to their speed probably isn't paying attention to the road ahead either.
