Day 6 - Saturday
Yesterday's penultimate stage of the Tour of Oman - 144km from the Al Alam Palace to Muscat's Ministry of Housing in Boshar - started earlier than usual to ensure that everything was wrapped up by 1400 local time.
Day 5 - Friday
Australian 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans celebrated his 36th birthday yesterday on what was undoubtedly the hardest stage of the Tour of Oman.
The slightly shortened 143km route from Al Saltiyah in Samail to Jabal Al Akhdar - Green Mountain - climaxed with a 6km climb, some of it with gradients as steep as 13.5 per cent.
The route for this year's fourth stage is a regular on the Tour of Oman. One member of ASO's staff told me he has never seen the riders look so tired after a stage as they do here - even in the Tour de France. The effort required at such an early stage in the season is intense, and many riders, unable to muster another pedal stroke, need to be pushed along past the finish line.
Chris Froome was one of those riders. The Briton is Team Sky's leader for the race and finished second on the stage, taking the overall lead on the general classification in the process. He was visibly shaking after the effort though, and slumped against a wall briefly before composing himself and getting right back onto a stationary bike to warm down.
Dave Brailsford, Sky's team principal, was delighted. A lot has been made of the inter-team battle at Sky between Bradley Wiggins and Froome, but yesterday's result seemed to confirm that Froome is capable of leading a team that features 2012 Tour de France winner Wiggins himself. Brailsford's relief was palpable as he beamed at the press pack afterwards.
Brailsford had arrived at the stage some two hours earlier with Sky PR director Chris Haynes. The pair of them had scrambled off down the hill to meet a group of Australian spectators who had set up something of a 'Cuddles corner' with national flags and 'Happy Birthday Cadel Evans' signs on the last bend.
Evans himself took an impressive third on the stage and was clearly very pleased with the result. He is second on general classification, ahead of the likes of Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali and Joaquim Rodriguez, and the stage will go some way to reasserting his leadership status within his BMC team.
The US-registered team is packed with high-earning stars and is one of the most interesting teams through which to observe the leadership dynamic at work. Each team has three cars here at the Tour of Oman and even seeing which riders sit in the front seat on the transfer from the hotel to the start can be revealing.
Incidentally, in BMC's case - as far as I have seen - the long-limbed Taylor Phinney, Evans, and Greg Van Avermaet take the front seats, with world champion Philippe Gilbert content to sit in the back.
With such a lot of stars in its ranks, BMC is one of the most in demand teams with the media. It is also one of a handful of teams to have sent a communications officer out to the Middle East. Georges Luechinger, BMC's chief communications officer, is that man.
As cycling becomes more professional, opportunities for the media to speak to the riders become more controlled. I caught up with Luechinger last night to have him explain how he sees his role.
"I'm responsible onsite to organise and coordinate media requests, to provide my colleague in the States the quotes from the stages so he can fill in all the reports and the audio line on the website, and then if there's a hand needed we help, so some guys from the staff help me to run for riders for their media, and then I help them to give bottles so it's teamwork."
Luechinger is part of a three-man communications team at BMC. "We have a year schedule like the riders have, so we have some races where we are onsite, but it's not possible to cover all of them."
After every stage of every race, the BMC communications team puts together race reports in four languages - English, French, German, and Dutch - and uploads them to the website as soon as possible.
At the Tour of Oman, there are 30 journalists staying with the riders at the same hotel complex and Luechinger tries as much as possible to have all interview requests flow through him. "The policy is it has to go through the media officer," he explains. "It's a question of respect and politeness; you wouldn't just grab people on the road and say 'hey, let me talk to you'. This is what we do to make it easy. We know when the guys have a massage; that's very helpful for the journalists otherwise the riders just run away and the journalist gets a 'nyet' and they don't know why.
"Most of the time we have to give a timeframe [for the interview] because from the wake-up call to the time they go to bed the riders really have a tight schedule," he adds. "They start with breakfast and some of them have their own rhythms before the race so no big interviews before the race."
Over the last few days, Luechinger says he has received a host of requests for interviews with Evans and Gilbert, so in order to facilitate these, and to save the riders' time, he has called an informal press conference with the pair this afternoon. "With all respect most of the guys ask the same questions so it's easier to have it once. There isn't really competition because the journalists are from different countries and every journalist has his own style," he explains.
Luechinger doesn't, however, see his role as protecting the riders. "I think this word protecting comes, from my point of view, from journalists that don't respect that we are onsite; they see us enemies and it's complete nonsense. We only need to protect the riders when people are pushing because this is not really what we call respect. We are here to bring both groups together."
Having watched Ali from Muscat Municipality expertly set up the podium for yesterday's stage with another stunning view just so in the background, I spoke to Dutch rider Bobbie Traksel, who has spent most of the race in breakaways with an open road ahead of him. "I came in 2010, the first time it was organised here, and you can see that it's improved a lot already in three years," he said.
Luechinger agrees. From a team perspective, the most important aspect to any race is safety and here the Omani police have improved immeasurably. "I just said before the finish, three hours before the riders are coming police guys are already at the road, and probably half an hour before the riders are coming they stop every car, so this part is excellent," he said. "Then the rest of the race is organised by ASO so it's foolproof - they know what it needs; it's just perfect."
Traksel, who has held onto the dotted jersey awarded to the most combative rider since day one, is clearly enjoying himself in Oman. "It's a good organisation. It's a good field - maybe better than the Tour de France; really good hotel; the transfers are a bit long but it's ok. I think it's one of the best preparations for the season.
"When I look to cycling, we need to improve and I hope we can make a tour of the whole Arabian world, with Qatar, Dubai is coming next year, Oman, then maybe take Saudi Arabia and we can make a really good tour. And that would be good for the ProTour."
Day 4 - Thursday
The Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, part of the Shangri-La group of luxury hotels, has been the headquarters and home away from home for the Tour of Oman since the first edition of the race in 2010.
Carved into the rugged cliffs around a 15-minute drive south from the old city of Muscat, 50 minutes from the airport, it perches magnificently above the Sea of Oman, towards which all of its 640 rooms face.
While the quality of the hotel is appreciated by the riders and the organisation alike, in terms of its role within race, the resort is not an extravagance. Because of its sheer size, it is the only hotel in Oman with the capacity to serve as a central race hub.
It is set across 124 acres of land, providing plenty of space for the various accoutrements that go along with a professional cycling race. The myriad race cars and trucks can all be parked onsite, and that despite one of the resort's car parks being turned over for a huge tented workshop for the teams' mechanics and soigneurs.
There are 18 teams at the Tour of Oman this year, with up to eight riders in each team, plus support staff, organisation, UCI officials, and a handful of media. Over the seven nights of the race, around 1,200 room nights will be used. Muscat Municipality, the organiser of the race, is footing the bill for all of them.
"We give them special rates with the amount of numbers that they've got," the resort's general manager Mark Kirk told me yesterday. "But it's obviously a very good bit of business for the hotel."
Kirk says the resort spends millions of dollars each year advertising itself and Oman as a destination, and the race provides a key window of global promotion during what is the country's peak tourist season.
"Our wholesale business with our European partners - especially UK, Germany and Switzerland - is increasing rapidly," he says. "It did go through a couple of years of decline because of the way the Middle East was portrayed around the world but it's now picking up very, very fast. We can see by each nationality the increase. Markets that we're seeing rapid growth in are France and Italy, Belgium as well, Germany - cycling nations. So it is the right exposure at the right time for us."
The resort is actually spread across three separate hotels, the Al Husn, Al Bandar, and Al Waha. The teams are distributed evenly across the three, but the allocation is not random. The resort blurb describes the Al Waha as the 'perfect family destination', the Al Bandar as 'ideal for leisure and business travellers', and the Al Husn as 'the most exclusive retreat providing the highest level of luxurious and elegant hospitality for the most discerning traveller.'
Sky, BMC, Omega-Pharma-Quick Step, Saxo-Tinkoff and Radioshack are the five teams being lodged in the Al Husn.
Regardless of which hotel they're staying in, the riders all seem happy to sing the resort's praises, lauding everything from the views to the mattresses to the food across social media sites.
"Of course it makes us proud when people say nice things about us," says Kirk. "We also learn very quickly when people say negative things about us and what we could do better. We measure guest satisfaction from all our guests. The important thing for us is actually our staff and our staff service. We're lucky because we are in Oman and we have a good percentage of Omani staff in the hotel so you're going to get a real experience that you've been away somewhere, rather than the rest of the Middle East where you'll predominantly only get interactions with expatriates. That's something unique about Oman."
Accommodation, three meals a day, and laundry are all provided. The resort's ballroom is sectioned off as the race dining room and the buffet spreads each day are first rate. If the riders don't end up putting weight on over the Tour of Oman, the support staff (and the media!) certainly will.
"One of the things I've talked to the teams about is the quality of food in Oman," reports Kirk. "The Omani cooks prepare the high protein food that the cyclists need. This is our fourth year doing it, so we know exactly what they want and it's seamless for them. We've got the ballroom where we do the meals, and we've even got a pasta station at breakfast."
The resort is very definitely five star. It boasts its own marina, an outdoor amphitheatre, an arcade, tennis courts, a spa, mini golf, 6,000 square metres of swimming pools as well as its own private beach.
The famous Muttrah Souk, one of the country's key tourist destinations, is just 15 minutes away in Old Muscat and the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service. The riders are unlikely to take advantage of that, however. The cocktail evening for the top riders - Wiggins, Contador, Evans, Cancellara etc - hosted by the head of Muscat Municipality on the beach on Sunday evening is likely to be the extent of the pros' extracurricular activity.
Eddy Merckx, who, through his company Paumer, acts as the link between Muscat Municipality and ASO, is getting right into the swing of things though. Seated in the front row of the audience with the local Omani dignitaries at the podium ceremony for yesterday's third stage, Merckx was happy to tuck into the finger bowls of Omani sweets and local coffee that appeared as if from nowhere as soon as Peter Sagan exited the stage.
The stunning Wadi Dayqah Dam was the scene of yesterday's finish, and despite it being over 100km away from Muscat, the strength of the local support was again evident; the Omani bagpipe players at the end of each stage seem to have more stamina than some of the riders.
I spoke to Divesh Bhal, a writer for Muscat Daily, one of the four daily English language papers in Muscat, yesterday and he confirmed that grassroots interest in the race is building each year.
"The interest has grown a lot over the four years. I don't think it was that popular to begin with, but it has really grown up as a sport," he said.
"It is the biggest sports event in Oman. It is on the front page not every day but when they announce when they will organise it, where they will organise it, and at the end when the winner is announced.
"Mostly it's the expatriates who do a lot of cycling though," he added. "They do a lot of mountain biking too. As far as Omanis go, still the sport is very young and it'll take a few years - at least five or six years."
Day 3 - Wednesday
Yesterday's 146km second stage from Fanja in Bidbid to Al Bustan provided the first real test for the cyclists at the Tour of Oman, with two short, sharp climbs in the last 20km separating the field and allowing Slovakian phenom Peter Sagan, astoundingly, to fly past the pack on a roller coaster downhill section at well north of 90kph.
I spent the day in the television truck with commentator Matt Keenan and the production manager Davide. Although the Tour of Oman is not being broadcast live - something ASO puts down to a lack of willingness on the Omani side, although I have yet to have this confirmed by the Omani organisers - there is a 26-minute highlights package produced every day, along with a five-minute news bulletin, and 52-minute wrap-up show to be made at the Tour's completion.
ASO has sealed distribution agreements with 23 broadcasters, which means that coverage of the race is available in 180 territories around the world. In reality, pan-regional deals with Eurosport (55 countries across Europe), Al Jazeera Sports (24 countries across the Middle East), Supersport (52 countries across Africa), ESPN Star/Fox (28 countries across Asia), and Direct TV (21 countries across South America and the Caribbean) account for most of that. A full list of the broadcasters taking the coverage is available on the Tour of Oman website.
Given the lack of live coverage and the fact that the highlights are made available the day after each stage, news coverage is crucial. Whenever live isn't available, Keenan tells me, the news clips are always the first priority for any production team as they guarantee the broadest and quickest exposure. For the Tour of Oman, the five-minute news bulletins - commentary-free although with a script - are packaged up and made available at around 2130 local time. ASO has deals in place with global sports news networks Reuters, Eurovision, SNTV and Perform.
Keenan and Davide are part of a 19-man production crew at the Tour of Oman, the majority of them contracted from French production company AMP Visual TV, headed up by ASO head of coordination and production Matthieu Perez.
Even just for highlights, a 19-man production crew is a tight unit. A live production would require at least triple that number. There are two cameras on motorbikes, one cinevision camera under-mounted to a helicopter which covers the race from the sky, and a fourth on a crane at the finish. At the Tour de France, there are six cameras on bikes, an OB van, a plane, and a lot more. Here, there is also a fifth cameraman who follows Keenan around as he interviews riders pre- and post-stage and then flits around Oman to shoot short, magazine-style colour pieces, one or two of which will be inserted into the highlights package for the stage.
Yesterday, for instance, the fifth cameraman spent the day filming inside the Al Bustan Palace Hotel, one of Oman's first five-star hotels and the striking venue that Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales chose to stay when they visited the sultanate shortly after their marriage.
Global Cycling Network have sent a cameraman/journalist to the race separately and he covers what he can - interviews pre- and post-stage, coverage of some of the race - usually the breakaway - and the finish - before uploading a short clip later in the evening.
Keenan is officially designated as the English language commentator for the race, but in this instance, no other commentary is provided. A regular commentator on all manner of sports events back at home in Australia, since his first stint at the Tour of Qatar in 2007 Keenan has become ASO's go-to English language commentator. As well as Qatar and Oman, his is the in-house voice that describes the pictures at Paris-Nice, the Vuelta a Espana and the Tour de France - although he hands over to the veteran partnership of Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen at the latter race.
Davide and Keenan begin the day by driving the camera equipment out to the start of the stage. It then gets loaded onto the bikes while Keenan strolls through the assembling bunch of riders picking out interviews. The stage begins and the truck drives ahead a few kilometres in front of the race. Once a two-man breakaway has formed and gained some time on the pack, the truck slots in behind them and the race settles down into a familiar pattern.
Before heading the Middle East for the Tours of Qatar and Oman, Davide and AMP Visual TV were in Russia to film the Bolshoi ballet. He will head back to Moscow in August for the IAAF athletics world championships. He says he prefers producing live music events to sports, largely because you can actually see what's going on.
He has a point. Even in one of the front cars that follows the race, there is not a great deal to see. With no TV monitors, Keenan relies on race radio updates for information on how the race is unfolding - the same race radio updates that the operation's two social media operatives use to send out tweets to the world via the Tour of Oman's official twitter feed. He notes down how far ahead the breakaway is from the peloton at regular intervals and settles down to read his book as the spectacular Omani landscape - like something out of Star Wars - rolls by and Davide plays country and western music from the truck's music system.
From time to time the two TV motorbikes ride alongside to collect a drink or some sweets. Christophe, the producer, directs the production operation from his viewpoint in the helicopter up above, although he hardly needs to: the four men on the TV motorbikes are 'Moto 1' and 'Moto 2' on the Tour de France. They are cycling TV veterans, impossibly bronzed and equally fearless, and know instinctively exactly where they need to be.
As the breakaway is reeled in by the peloton and the race comes back together, the truck speeds off again ahead of the group. As the route enters Muscat the number of people lining the roads is genuinely astounding. Keenan is thrilled. These are genuine spectators - not shipped in from anywhere by the organisers - and he notes that each year the locals warm to the Tour of Oman even more - a stark contrast from Qatar.
As the truck scales the first sharp climb of the day some way ahead of the pack, Keenan begins to get excited. The hill seems to come from nowhere and is a lot more difficult than the roadbook suggests. "This will make for a great highlights package," he says as the truck struggles in first up the slope.
Keenan is a true student of his trade; calling, it would seem, is his calling and his passion for cycling is evident. He also does an uncanny take on Billy Birmingham's irreverent The Twelfth Man impressions.
Having parked up at the finish, Keenan watches Peter Sagan take the win, braces himself for a difficult interview with the Slovakian - who is not renowned for his English - and finds his cameraman.
Keenan needn't have worried; front and centre of a media scrum he expertly coaxes out Sagan's reaction before heading back to the truck. True to previous form, however, Davide has already driven off (he insists he needed to refuel!), and Keenan hitches a lift with his fifth cameraman.
Back at the headquarters hotel, the production team is hard at work editing the footage. The graphics and magazine pieces are pre-prepared and ready to go so it's just the pre-race, post-race and race footage itself that needs to be edited. Keenan consults with the two editors tasked with the job - at least one more would be needed for the highlights to go out the same day - before grabbing a bite to eat and resting until he is required to do his bit.
At around 2300 the team has got the footage down to 26 minutes and Keenan is summoned. He tries to call the race as-live and will only go back and re-record if there is a "monumental cock-up". The fact that he hasn't actually seen the race unfurl helps here.
At anywhere between 0000 and 0100 Keenan's piece is complete, and the 26-minute package, complete with commentary, is ready to be sent off to broadcasters around the world.
Day 2 - Tuesday
Yesterday's first stage of the Tour of Oman started in Al Musannah, a little way down the Gulf of Oman coast from one of the country's largest bull-butting arenas at Barka. Bull-butting is a bloodless sport in which bull is pitched against bull, normally resulting in one running away. The beasts are restrained with ropes if things turn nasty.
No such restraint will be necessary between the two big beasts on Team Sky during the Tour of Oman as Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins rolled in behind the rest of the peloton yesterday having been held up by a crash. Wiggins sits last in the general classification standings and has confirmed that teammate and Tour de France runner-up Chris Froome is very much the man.
Wiggins and Froome join the likes of Vincenzo Nibali, Alberto Contador, Cadel Evans and Joaquim Rodriquez - all grand tour winners or contenders - along with Tom Boonen, Fabian Cancellara, Peter Sagan, Marcel Kittel and world champion Philippe Gilbert on what is undoubtedly the strongest line-up the race has had in its now four-year history.
It is probably the only time this season that the Tour de France's main contenders will compete against each other before July and it is a line-up that lends the race a great deal of credibility.
That is certainly the attitude of most of the assembled media here in Oman.
ASO, which runs the nitty gritty of the race on behalf of organisers Muscat Municipality, has invited 30 members of the media from as representative a spread around the world as possible; journalists from cycling publications and newspapers in the US, Belgium, Holland, France, Italy, the UK, Japan and Taiwan are here, along with a veteran bunch of cycling photographers and videographers.
Many of them have come straight from the ASO-run Tour of Qatar, which took place last week, and to which ASO also invited 30 members of the media. For those that are covering both races, Oman is a breath of fresh air. The strength of the field, the variety of the course (there are actual hills!) and the fact that Manx sprinter Mark Cavendish, who dominated in Qatar, is not here means that the stories they send home will at least be different everyday. And I've yet to meet anyone who says they prefer the emirate over the sultanate.
For the media, the day starts at the assembly point in the middle of the hotel complex where a couple of cars and a bus wait to ferry them to the stage start, and then directly to the stage finish. Or at least that's the plan. Yesterday, the media bus was requisitioned by a group of team mechanics who needed to set off earlier so a replacement, complete with suitably rule-bending driver, was hastily drafted in by Thomas Cariou, the man heading up ASO's communications operation for the race.
The Tour of Oman is not broadcast live, which means there are no monitors with live pictures in the cars, or at the stage finish. This is something of a return to 'the good old days' for the the press pack, whose only chance of describing the race rests on squeezing the story of how the day unfurled from a rider at the finish line.
Though that might not be ideal, it seems to be compensated for by the fact that it is much easier - although getting less so - to get one-on-one interview opportunities with big name riders in Oman, the relaxed atmosphere and limited press numbers bringing the professionals out of their shells a little.
German sprinter Marcel Kittel (above) won the stage yesterday, which meant that a rider whose team is sponsored by a growing European oil company - Argos Oil - took the majority of the media exposure on day one of a race which exists largely so Oman can diversify away from the reliance on its own oil industry.
Interviews complete and race pieced together, it's back on the bus and into the cars for the journey back to the hotel. For all the Tour of Oman's plus points, the diffuse nature of the course means there are some fairly long transfer times - a grumble of the journalists and the riders alike.
Today's stage should go down well though, as the convoy faces a minimal one hour drive to the stage start and then a 146km trip to the finish at Al Bustan, which is very close to the headquarters hotel.
Day 1 - Monday
The fourth edition of the Tour or Oman road cycling race begins today and I am in the sultanate to cover the business behind the race.
The six-stage race features 18 teams this year - two more than last time - and all of them will be holed up at the race's luxurious base camp hotel just outside of Oman's capital, Muscat.
Most of the teams arrived at the hotel on Saturday, many of the riders having just competed in the Tour of Qatar - a very different Middle Eastern race, though one organised, like the Tour of Oman, by Tour de France owners ASO.
A couple of the Team NetApp-Endura riders, however, were on my Oman Air flight from London yesterday. Not only were the unfortunate pair tasked with getting through Omani immigration - not a quick process - with just me for company, but they also had to retrieve the majority of the team's luggage that had failed to arrive on time from Qatar.
It wasn't just the NetApp-Endura bags that had been delayed. The baggage hall at Muscat International was scattered with top-end cycling equipment yesterday. As far as I know, nothing has been reported missing, and a collegiate atmosphere between the teams prevailed, with the BMC and Saxo-Tinkoff teams doing the rounds at the airport to pick up their rivals' bags as well as their own.
After a charmingly shambolic press conference last night, at which most of the local press cameras were pointed on the audience rather than on race organiser Eddy Merckx on stage, everyone is ready for the race to begin today.

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatu Allah
In your question & answer #150301 you have explained the following:
"The seven ways of recitation famous today are the seven ways documented by Al-Imaam Ash-Shatabiyy in his prose. They are known as the seven qira'aat by the way of ash-Shatabiyyah. There are three more, again authentic, that are also well known among modern day Muslim scholars documented by Al-Imaam Al-Jazariyy in another prose. "
Could you please tell us the correct name of all these different recitations?
This would be much appreciated and I pray that Allah bless you and all the Muslims.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa bararakatuh.
The "names" of these recitations are the names of the first scholars of recitation that made a particular way famous. The different qira'aat are known now by these scholars names or nicknames, may Allah have mercy on them all. The names of the seven qira'aat and each of their two narrators may be found at the following link: http://www.abouttajweed.com/30120202.htm
The three qira'aat outlined by Imam ibn Al-Jazaree in the poem , are also known by the names of the early scholars that made them famous, or had many students who learned these ways from them. As in the way of Shatibiyyah, each reciter has two narrators of the recitation of the first scholar, sometimes the two different narrations they learned from the first scholar are almost identical, other times, there is quite a difference. These are all authentic ways of recitation passed down in chains of transmission from the Messenger of Allah, , person by person until the recitation has reached us today, preserved by the Mercy of Allah, then by the strict adherence and correction by all in the chain.
1. The first of the three outlined by Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree is the recitation of Abu Ja'far . His name is Yazeed bin Al-Qa'qaa' Al-Madanee , who was an imam of the people of Medina in the qira'aat. He was of the taab'ieen. He studied the recitation of the Qur'an from a group of the companions, among them Ibn Abbaas, and Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with them all.
a. The first branch or narrator of the recitation of Abu Ja'far is Ibn Wardaan . His name is 'Iysaa bin Wardaan Al-Madani.
b. The second branch (narrator) of the recitation of Abu Ja'far is Ibn Jammaaz His name is Sulaymaan bin Jammaaz Al-Madanee.
2. The second recitation is that of Imam Ya'qoob . His name is Ya'qoob bin IsHaaq Al-Hadhramee. . He was the imam of the people of Basra after Abee 'Amr.
a. The first branch (narrator) of the recitation of Ya'qoob is Ruways . The name of this imam is: Muhammed bin Al-Mutawakkil Al-Lu'lu'ee Al-Basree.
b. The second narration of Ya'qoob is RawH . His name is RawH bin Abdul-Mu'min Al-Basree.
3. The third imam is Khalaf bin Hishaam Al-Bazzar Al-Kufee, the same man as the first narrator of Hamzah. This imam then related the recitation of Imam Hamzah and was known for this other authentic recitation. Most of the scholars then refer to this recitation as either Khalaf Al-'Ashr, or Khalaf Al-Bazzar, to make sure it is differentiated from the recitation of Khalaf 'an Hamzah.
a. The first narrator of the recitation of Imam Khalaf Al-Bazzar is IsHaaq . The full name of this imam is IsHaaq bin Ibraaheem Al-Maroozee Al-Baghdaadee Al-Waraaq.
b. The second narrator of this recitation is Idrees . His name is Idrees bin Abdul-Kareem Al-Haddaad.
May Allah be pleased with them all and give them light in their graves. .
May Allah bless you as well.

My birthday happened a few weeks ago, and my lovely boyfriend got me this ball-winder and swift. For a long while, I'd been despairing about the $70 pricetag associated with most umbrella swifts, but I recently discovered these square swifts with adjustable pegs — they are widely available on Etsy and Ebay from people who make them by hand, and are generally priced around $20, which makes them an excellent solution for us poor grad students. They are not quite as perfect and magical as umbrella swifts — sometimes the yarn gets caught on one of the arms as it spins — but this is a pretty minor annoyance, and is well worth putting up with for a savings of $50. The swift works great, does everything it's supposed to, and it also folds flat for easy storage! The ball winder is the new $20 one from KnitPicks, and it's great — ingenious design, easy to use; I highly recommend it.
These new toys allowed me to turn this:
Into this:
Apologies for the darkness of this picture; the colors are much truer in the first one. I treated myself to this collection of yarns for my birthday, courtesy of Yarn Lady's moving sale. I've already made a striped hat (though I still have a million ends to weave in), and I'm working on a matching scarf a la Jane Thorneley, but I don't have pictured of either of them yet. Those projects are both on hiatus, because I was eager to get to my summer knitting. Behold:
This is a shawl I'm working on with some of that Malabrigo Lace I bought over spring break, in the "Stone Blue" colorway. I'm knitting it from Evelyn Clark's Knitting Lace Triangles, a book that allows you to design your own shawl using any combination of several different lace patterns that she provides for you. I was frankly disappointed that the book only covers four main lace patterns and one edging pattern, but it's a clever idea and the lace patterns all are compatible mathematically and transition into one another beautifully. Clearly somebody needs to make a bigger and better version of this book, with more lace patterns to choose from. But I am determined to get my money's worth, and I'd been wanting to do a more geometric lace pattern after my last flowery one — and I really like the way this is coming out! The lace is so open that I think I'm going to get a pretty big shawl out of my 470 yards.
Here is Evelyn Clark's book in action, featuring yet another of my new toys: a set of pattern magnets, to help me follow lace charts in books. Several Etsy sellers carry them; I got mine from Slipped Stitch Studios, who had blindingly fast service — as in, I ordered them on Sunday and they were in my hands on Monday. It helps that we live in the same county, though, I'm sure.
The other thing I'm working on is Hannah Fettig's Whisper Cardigan, from the spring issue of Interweave Knits:
The yarn is yet more Malabrigo Lace, which I think is a great choice for this project because it's so soft and so affordable. I'm very excited to wear this sweater, but I gotta tell you, knitting this thing is boring me to tears. Don't listen to anyone who tells you it's a fast knit — sure it's got half-length sleeves, a shrug-back, and its "fronts" are merely vestigal, but you're still knitting stockinette fabric with lace-weight yarn, and even on US 7s that takes a million billion jillion years. And as a recent lace convert, stockinette is the last thing I want to be doing right now. But the color is gorgeous and will match everything I own, and the light, airy fabric is to die for, so I'm plowing along. I've been alternating this thing with the shawl to keep from stabbing my eyes out; my usual technique is to put a row or three on the shawl (which is getting big, so this takes 40 or so minutes) when P. and I start the drinks-and-a-movie portion of our evening, and then when it's time for round two of drinks, I step away from the lace and do as much stockinette as I can stand. A good system, no?

The infant was brought into Alinea on Saturday, and apparently had a crying fit.
Chef Achatz tweeted about his tiny guest, questioning whether he should consider banning babies there. He tweeted: "Tbl brings 8mo.Old. It cries. Diners mad. Tell ppl no kids? Subject diners 2crying? Ppl take infants 2 plays? Concerts? Hate saying no,but.."
As a father, Achatz said he can see both sides of the argument.
"We want to accept young children into the restaurant. I take my kids to nice restaurants. But we also have 20 other people that have paid money to come experience a certain thing," said Achatz.
Achatz also tweeted a picture of two fish heads and "Definitely not baby food."

You're replying to a comment by mcai8sh4.
Peter, Just thought I'd drop you a note to thank you for spending the time to produce this book. I find it's well written and explains things very clearly. It's also fun to work though. The only thing I struggled with was creating a suitable file to test the one liners on - I was in Vim staring at a blank screen for about 5 minutes. If I get writers block trying to create a 'somefile', then I can appreciate how hard it must be to write a book!
Great work, looking forward to any other works you publish.

A few products that caught me eye from CES 2009
Posted by Eric Benderoff at 5:43 p.m.
Times are tough and money's tight, so this post on the Consumer Electronics Show comes from my desk in Chicago. The show floor opens Thursday in Las Vegas, but the product announcements have been hitting my inbox full force since Tuesday.
Here's what I've found interesting so far:

Innovative GPS maker takes wrong turn
Posted by Eric Benderoff at 12:25 p.m.
One gadget I planned to include in a forthcoming column of the year's best is off the list.
Last week, Dash Navigation announced that it would no longer make the innovative Dash Express (pictured), a GPS device I heartily endorsed when I reviewed it in July. It was the first GPS device with an always-on Internet connection, tapping into a cellular network to search for gas stations, parks or a specific hot dog joint while you drove.
Many GPS units have built-in software that offers some of that information, but the Dash took it a step further, using Yahoo's search engine to find the popular places and the hidden gems that were nearby. Also, third-party developers were creating useful programs for the Dash, like they are with the iPhone.

Like the iPhone, Apps for Dash make this GPS a keeper
Posted by Eric Benderoff at 2:10 p.m.
Amidst all the hoopla surrounding the iPhone 3G launch, another worthy gadget I recently reviewed was overlooked. And, as with the iPhone, the best reason for buying the dashboard-mounted Dash Express GPS is because of the third-party applications one can easily add to the device.
Here are some of the apps I downloaded to my Dash:

A GPS device you can reason with
Posted by Eric Benderoff at 2:15 p.m.
I've been playing with the most impressive GPS gadget I've used in some time. That's due to a singular feature dash-board models don't offer: You can call for directions.
It's GPS that comes with a phone, the Motorola Z9, a new multimedia device sold at AT&T. It was the wireless carrier's first phone to offer the Navigator software, and AT&T has since put in on the Samsung BlackJack II, Motorola's Q, the Tilt and three BlackBerry devices (8310, 8800 and 8820).

Where's the nearest restroom? Ask your phone

When you have to go while you're on the go, the Web site MizPee can help you find the nearest clean public restroom.
On your phone or your computer, go to mizpee.com and enter your city (Chicago and 20 other U.S. cities are covered) and address or intersection. Up pops the nearest public restrooms, rated for cleanliness by other travelers like you who longed to know where to find the nearest, nicest loo.

Bug Labs faces gremlins

Georgy Timofeyevich Beregovoy (April 15, 1921 – June 30,
1995) was a Soviet cosmonaut who commanded the space mission Soyuz 3 in 1968. At
the time of his flight, Beregovoy was 47 years of age: he was the earliest-born
human to go to orbit, being born three months and three days earlier than the
second earliest-born man in orbit – John Glenn, but later than X-15 pilot Joe
Walker who made 2 (or 3, according to USAF definition) suborbital space
Beregovoy was born on April 15, 1921, in Fedorivka,
Poltava Oblast, Soviet Union (now Ukraine). He graduated from a school in 1938
at Yenakieve, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. He joined the Soviet Air Forces (VVS) in
1941, and was soon assigned to a ground-attack unit flying the Ilyushin Il-2
"Shturmovik". He flew some 185 combat sorties during the course of World War II
and rose quickly through the ranks, finishing the war as a captain and squadron
commander. Following the war, he became a test pilot, and over the
next sixteen years test-flew some sixty different aircraft, rising to the rank
of colonel and the position of deputy chief of the air force's flight-testing
department. In 1962, he applied and was accepted for cosmonaut
training. In 1965, Colonel Beregovoy was scheduled to fly the
following year in Voskhod 3, but the mission was never launched. On
October 25, 1968, Beregovoy took the Soyuz 3 into outer space: he orbited the
Earth for almost four days at altitude up to 252 km. As part of his mission,
Beregovoy twice maneuvered his craft into rendezvous positions with the unmanned
Soyuz 2 satellite but was unable to establish a direct physical link to the
craft before returning on October 30, 1968. Nonetheless, Beregovoy's flight was in some ways an
encouraging success for the Soviet manned space program, and the colonel was
celebrated as a hero upon his return. Soyuz 3 was Beregovoy's only spaceflight
and soon after it he retired from active duty, having been promoted to Major

A bumbling city correction officer in desperate need of target practice accidentally shot himself and a colleague on Friday while attempting to adjust his shoulder holster as the two were driving to a shooting range, authorities said.
Ramel Small, 33, was sitting in the passenger's seat as he and a fellow prison guard, Wayne Feliciano, 35, were cruising through Bushwick, Brooklyn, headed to a nearby shooting range to work on their aim, cops said.
The men had pulled over at a gas station on Bushwick Avenue to fill up when Small decided to try on a brand new holster, a correction source said.
Small slipped the new shoulder holster over his head and transferred his gun into it from his old pancake holster, the source said.
As he was adjusting the holster, the gun went off, sending a bullet through his left hand and into the right hip of Feliciano.
"It seems like the trigger may have got caught up as he was putting it in the holster," a source explained.
"Obviously, he didn't have the safety on."
The tubby, bald Small was seen grimacing in pain at the scene after an army of cops and Emergency Medical Services personnel arrived in response to the call of officers shot.
Small was wearing his badge on a chain around his neck and an airbrushed T-shirt touting a "5th Annual BBQ" event that pitted officers from the Robert N. Davoren Center at Rikers Island against a different unit.
His belt was undone and he was bracing his arm.
NYPD cops collected the discharged weapon as evidence.
The wounded jail guards were taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition.
The investigation is ongoing, cops said.
Small isn't the first law-enforcement officer to accidentally shoot himself while holstering a firearm.
A New York City police officer accidentally shot himself in the leg in August as he was attempting to return his weapon to a secure position following a domestic dispute in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, authorities said.

Sam Amidon – I See The Sign (abum review)
Like several other albums that have crossed my path over the years, All Is Well by Sam Amidon is one of those releases that didn't register with me on first, second, or even third listen. It wasn't until a year or so after it came out that it really clicked into place with me, and when he teamed up with Nico Muhly a year or so later on Mothertongue, I found myself falling in love with his previous solo album even more.
Despite that, I'm still about a month late getting to his newest album, I See The Sign, but I couldn't let another release of Amidon's go by without saying something about it. Like All Is Well, this 11 song album might not hit immediately, but it's strong throughout and subtle enough that you'll hear new things many listens in. Not only that, but there are enough absolute stunners on the album that several songs have crept into my 10 most-played of the year so far.
Musically, I See The Sign is very similar to All Is Well, with melodies and harmonies carrying the way rather than overblown production. That said, there are a few tracks on the release that explore some more fleshed-out compositions. Opening song (and the first single from the release) "How Come That Blood" is one of them, with a looping upright bass, some fast-paced guitars and brisk percussion forming a backing while everything from electronic effects and string quartet bursts punctuate the track. It's the most busy song that I've ever heard from Amidon, and it's also a bit of a red herring, as the rest of the release settles into a much more subtle footing that works just as well, if not better than the more dense track.
The release veers back and forth, but never feels less than cohesive. There's the (dare I say) almost rocking "You Better Mind," which is another piece with actual percussion and some great female backup vocals from Beth Orton and the barely-there "Rain And Snow," which stumbles along with only the vocals of Amidon and some quiet guitar and string quivers before it lets loose a bit at the end.
To my ears, it doesn't get much better than "Pretty Fair Damsel," a three-minute stunner that starts with nothing but vocals and guitar, but builds to a gorgeous peak with woodwinds, piano, strings, and horns before stepping back down to silence again.
"Pretty Fair Damsel" – Sam Amidon
The one-two of "Climbing High Mountains" and "Relief" are yet another high point on the release, with the former moving right into the latter without a misses step. The songs work together so much that I find myself playing them back-to-back just to get the full effect, but the beautiful harmonies and aching beauty of the latter (where Amidon again teams up with Orton) get me every time. It's especially impressive considering that it's a cover of an R. Kelly, and it falls in perfectly alongside the interpretations of Appalachian folk music as if it's the most natural thing in the world.
"Relief" – Sam Amidon
11 songs run just over 42 minutes, and while the music itself is a bit on the understated side, the impact certainly isn't minimal. I feel bad about not saying the same thing about his previous release, so please seek this one out.

I can trade you some really good programs or give you some $
Please PM me ASAP
i have a bypass. PM me with what programs you have to offer.
come on ms peopleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
on other forums everybody says it's not possible to bypass anymore.
not sure though.
this was posted 2 years ago.. no idea if it works still.. but you could try it if you haven't already. i'm just too lazy to test it..
There's ways just nobody wants to give them up lol :|
yes,since no one wants there trick to bypass to become extinct.
Keep Smiling
come one peopleeeeeeeee, anyone?
come on peopleeeeeee
myspace bypass sharing days are long gone.
I can't seem to "emilinate" the "msplinks" myself,
I don't make it a link, but the site automatically turns
it into a "msplinks", in my case it's a ".info"
if I leave it like it is, will MS soon enough block that ip?
that's what I've heard...............
is there a way to have it display on an account,
but simply not be "clickable" and instead make
it so that it has to be a "copy & paste" ???????????
I'd rather be safe than sorry
any feedback appreciated!
why u willing to bypass msplinks?
I had read in some posts that having links on your this is the post I was referring to;
admittedly I am a small time beginner one MS and really "green"
"non-automated" and not even sure where to start with "comments"
but I saw that post as someone experienced saying to beware of the use of a live "link"
not that the forum doesn't have the info spread around, but maybe
a "quick start" source, for a non-automated?
(I'm still going through the forum on this topic
it's just there is sooo much to go over I think I'm
having a forum "overload")
I thought for a starter I would have profiles in different major cities
and referring to the same "landing page" (classified mentality!)
anyway, still unsure how to proceed
any feedback appreciated
It can be done.
Don't know how, but it does.
Separate names with a comma.

I am going to attempt to summarize What I gathered from Puar's text although i definitely read it over a few times my understanding is still a little fuzzy. Here goes…
Puar thinks that the way Feminist use intersectionality in their work is problematic. Intersectionality is the way in which various social factors interact to produce an identity that is unstable or oppressed. The method of intersectionality has turned into a method used to discuss women of color or WOC. Puar argues that the production of the WOC always creates an other and as a result it recreates the same sexual difference that feminist are suppose to fight against. In this respect discussing feminist politics through the frame work of intersectionality alone is not helpful. She asserts that feminist should also look at assemblages and what they do. By focusing on the body itself in relation to all other things that it comes into contact with. She claims that the relation to the body and matter can produce an event, that along with the way we are already expected to act (intersectional)makes that event more likely to happen. The example that she gave in her essay was the way a man beat his wife while he was watching football. The husband did slap his wife but there were other "actors" involved in that incident such as the T.V. the game and the fact that the man was statistically more likely to hit his wife. Puar thinks that looking at feminist issues under this light offers a different way of thinking about why they occur and how they can be prevented.
Ladies, please feel free to add anything or clarify any specific points especially that of assemblages because i found it difficult to clarify.

You wrote a very good post Jake. I really think that you make sound arguments about Victor representing the Enlightenment through his obsession with science and the monster representing Romanticism through his emotional nature. However, I think that you should avoid separating Enlightenment and Romantic philosophy using the term rationality. Rationalism is a sect of philosophy that believes reason is the only tool that can be used to describe the world. Romanticism, on the other hand, argues that reason is not the only tool because the senses (through the perception of nature, art, and literature) can give meaning to the world around us too. However, Rationalism also believes that every human is inherently rational and, therefore, they make rational decision when they act. Even though Romanticism argues for an appreciation of the senses and is a reaction against Rationalism, Romanticism is not irrational. Furthermore, Romanticists neither think irrationally nor do they value irrationally. Romanticists simply value the achievement of rational thought through the appreciation of nature, art, and means other than just using reason.

Also check whether any scripts or addons are not blocking the Facebook elements from loading properly.You can do this by disabling all extensions and restarting your browser.
Note :- Online friends on left side bar will be visible only if someone is online and friends using Facebook via mobile will be visible too irrespective of whether they are online or not.
if you are using chrome, just get the side bar disabler extension. works like a charm.. :)
How it can be gone?
Just use another browser..

FEARFUL residents were forced to phone the police three times in one day - after being attacked by stone-throwing yobs as young as five.
Although the problem is long-standing, residents of Maes y Gerddi, in Porthmadog, say it has worsened 10-fold since a bicycle track was opened by Gwynedd County Council four months ago.
It runs behind their houses, linking Tremadog with Porthmadog.
Since then, the houses have been bombarded with stones which have been laid along-side the track.
Two of the residents, husband and wife Ken and Ceri Jones, are now urging the council to remove the missiles or concrete them over.
The Jones' say on one occasion they came under attack just minutes after a police officer left their home.
Mr Jones, 61, said: "It's enough to frighten anybody. It's affecting our peace of mind and quality of life."
Health worker Mrs Jones, 60, said she had been injured three times by the stone-throwing youngsters - whose ages range from around five to 16.
She said: "These children were just throwing stones aimlessly. I went up to them and asked them if they didn't mind stopping. They then threw stones at me."
On another occasion a child was throwing pieces of glass at the houses.
Mrs Jones gave chase and while running away, the youth dropped a bagful of broken glass.
She added: "He ran into his house and his mother closed the door in my face. I said to her 'You might as well open the door'. She did and was very supportive. She said she'd make sure that he would not be doing it again."
Residents now fear that a baby or a young child could be injured by the culprits.
The Jones' say their bathroom window has been smashed by the vandals and will cost over a £100 to replace. And over £250 worth of damage was caused to their car windscreen and bonnet.
The Joneses now park their car away from their house and have resorted to covering all the windows on their conservatory with thick plastic sheets.
Mr Jones said: "We've tried everything."
Because of the vandals, the Jones' have now cancelled plans to look after a little boy from Chernobyl who was due to stay with them for a month.
They now have written a letter to North Wales Police, Gwynedd County Council, their local AM, MP and councillors to try and put a stop to the stone-throwing.
North Wales Police's Chief Superintendent Keith Humphreys said: "Mr and Mrs Jones have been updated and are aware of the ongoing inquiries. It would not be prudent for us to discuss them at the moment."

Restaurants triumph in British Kebab Awards
Three restaurants have triumphed in the British Kebab Awards.
Selale Restaurant in Green Lanes won the best value category, Best Catering on Garman Road won an award for an outstanding contribution to the kebab industry, and Diyarkabir Kitchen in Grand Parade was highly recommended in the best newcomer category.
A panel of judges including MPs Nadhim Zahawi, Jonathan Reynolds, Andy Love and Keith Vaz, as well as Baroness Hussein-Ece, helped decide the winners of each category – although anyone could vote for their favourite kebab outlet from a shortlist.
Tottenham MP David Lammy congratulated the winners, and said he was "delighted" to see the restaurants winning awards.
Ibrahim Dogus, director and founder of the awards, said: "Many congratulations to Selale Restaurant, Best Catering and Diyarkabir Kitchen.
"These awards are a true celebration of kebabs as a Great British institution, and recognise the contribution of the industry throughout the country.
"There was a very high standard of nominees for every category, and I am delighted that we have been able to honour some of the leaders in the industry for the third year running."
The British kebab industry contributes over £2.2 billion annually to the British economy, supporting around 200,000 jobs across restaurants, suppliers and the food industry in the UK.
There are also around 200 doner kebab manufacturers in the UK, with a turnover in excess of £750m.
The first kebab shop opened in North London in 1966 and there are now over 20,000 kebab outlets in the UK selling an estimated 1.3m kebabs every day.

Nielsen comes bearing good news today for devotees of the little green robot: as of this past June, Android has claimed the top spot in the U.S. smartphone OS market. Figures have it as comprising a full 39% of the market, with its closest competitor Apple a distant second at 28%. Oh, and let's not forget the BlackBerry OS, which is currently dragging its feet at 20%. Bringing up the rear are Windows Phone 7 at 9%, which is a bit of an accomplishment considering the major head start its competitors enjoyed, and WebOS and Symbian (both at 2%).
