Assassin’s Creed runs very smoothly for me on my computer. Very smoothly that is, until i go to either hide, save a citizen or kill someone
The second i press F to help the citizen, the screen will go flash that pretty design that its supposed to but will freeze for 2 – 3 seconds before i can actually play. Same with assassinations, i can sneak up on the guy just fine, but when i click to kill him, the game freezes for 2 – 3 seconds. When i go to hide in a roof garden, the game freezes for the same amount of time…
I have a pretty sweet system, and people with computers worse than mine arent having these issues with all settings on highest.

A chasm regrets a motto of a fine veto of wars. Too bad – I all won. A sadist sent cadets – a war reign a hero derides. A bad loser, a seer, tossed a cradle – he begat to cosset – a minaret for Carole, Beryl, Nora. We’re not as poor to self.
I risk cold as main is tidal. As not one to delay burden, I don’t set it on “hot”. A foot made free pie race losses runnier. As draw won pull, eye won nose.

Claude Monet was born on November 14 1840. His Father Claude Adolphe was a business man and his mom Louise-Justine Aubree Monet was a singer. His father wanted him to go into the family grocery store business, but Monet wanted to be an artist. So he entered the Le Havre secondary school of the Art. He was converted to landscape painting by his mentor Eugene Boudin. Who derived his taste for painting out of doors.
When he traveled to Paris to visit The Louvre, he witnessed painters copying from the old masters. Monet, having brought his paints and other tools with him, he would sit by a window and paint what he saw. After two years in the African Light Cavalry in Algeria, He returned to Le Havre where he met JonKind. In 1862 he entered the studio of Charles Glevre in Paris where he met Auste Renoir, Frederic Bazille and Alfred Sisley, with whom he was to form the nucleus of the Impressionist group. Monet devotion to painting out of doors was illustrated by the famous story concerning one of his most ambitious early works, woman in the garden. The picture was 2.5 meters high which enable him to paint it, Monet had a trench dug in the garden where the canvas could be raised or lowered by pulleys. In England he studied works of John Constable and Joseph Mallard, he painted the thames and London parks. In 1871, Monet lived at Argenteuil where he painted the famous work of the Impressionist Movement. This was Sunrise, an illustration of the Le Havre landscape. The Painting had been hung in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. Monet moved to the northwestern suburb of paris in 1878, where he painted landscapes and seascape that had been campaigns to document the French countryside. The campaigns had been evolved into a series of paintings. From 1890 Monet concentrated on series of pictures in which he painted the same subject at different times of the day in different lights. As he continued to travel, visiting London and Venice, he painted two important series; one was the view of the Parliament and the view of Charing Cross Bridge. Monet attention was now focused on the celebrated water-garden he created at Giverny, which served as the theme for the series of paintings on water lilies grew to dominate his work completely. He had a special studio built in the grounds of his house so he could work on the huge canvases. On December 5, 1926 Claude Monet died from lung cancer. Through the claude monet foundation. People were able to visit his home and garden. His house is the main attraction of Giverny.

First of all I will use the King James version of the Bible even though I prefer the new living translation. The Bible clearly tells us how to identify a false prophit.
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Now look at some of the things you founders have said in the name of the Lord. ( if you dare)
lets start with Joe Smith
Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormons, claimed to be a prophet of God. Was he a prophet of the true and living God? There are two ways to find out. First, compare what he says to Scripture and if what the Prophet teaches contradict Scripture, then he is false. The second way is to examine any prophecies that he has made. If a single prophecy fails, then the person is a false prophet.
Please note that having several fulfilled prophecies and even a single false prophecy still means that the person is not a true prophet of God. The test for a prophet is not if he gets them most right, but all right. The Bible tells us…
“But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ 21 “And you may say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ 22 “When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him,” (Deut. 18:20-22). emphasis added.
We can see that the criteria of a true prophet is not failing when predicting the future. This is because God, who is outside of time and the creator of the universe, makes no mistakes when he tells us what will happen. Those prophets whom he has called will not make a mistake and prophesy the future, since to do so would mean the person is not speaking on God’s behalf. Therefore, if anyone claims to be a prophet of God and speaks in the name of God and gives a prophecy that fails, then the person is not of God.
Did Joseph Smith make any prophecies? Yes he did. Here are just a few of his false prophecies.
False prophecies of Joseph Smith
History of the Church
Prophecy about Jesus return within 56 years – “President Smith then stated that the meeting had been called, because God had commanded it; and it was made known to him by vision and by the Holy Spirit. He then gave a relation of some of the circumstances attending us while journeying to Zion–our trials, sufferings; and said God had not designed all this for nothing, but He had it in remembrance yet; and it was the will of God that those who went to Zion, with a determination to lay down their lives, if necessary, should be ordained to the ministry, and go forth to prune the vineyard for the last time, or the coming of the Lord, which was nigh–even fifty-six years should wind up the scene.” (History of the Church, Vol. 2:189) See context.
Jesus did not return within fifty-six years when 1891 arrived.
Doctrine and Covenants
Prophecy that the temple would be built in Missouri within Smith’s Generation – “Yea, the word of the Lord concerning his church, established in the last days for the restoration of his people, as he has spoken by the mouth of his prophets, and for the gathering of his saints to stand upon Mount Zion,i which shall be the city of New Jerusalem. 3 Which city shall be built, beginning at the temple lot, which is appointed by the finger of the Lord, in the western boundaries of the State of Missouri, and dedicated by the hand of Joseph Smith, Jun., and others with whom the Lord was well pleased. 4 Verily this is the word of the Lord, that the city New Jerusalem shall be built by the gathering of the saints, beginning at this place, even the place of the temple, which temple shall be reared in this generation. 5 For verily this generation shall not all pass away until an house shall be built unto the Lord, and a cloud shall rest upon it, which cloud shall be even the glory of the Lord, which shall fill the house… 31 Therefore, as I said concerning the sons of Moses for the sons of Moses and also the sons of Aaron shall offer an acceptable offering and sacrifice in the house of the Lord, which house shall be built unto the Lord in this generation, upon the consecrated spot as I have appointed.” (Doctrines and Covenants 84:2-5,31.) See context.
The Mormons were driven out of Jackson County in 1833. They were not gathered there in accordance to this prophecy dealing with building the temple.
The prophecy clearly states that the generation present when the prophecy was given would not pass away until the temple was built at the western boundaries of the state of Missouri which is in Independence. This clearly failed.
All Nations would be involved in the American Civil War – “Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina, which will eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls; 2 And the time will come that war will be poured out upon all nations, beginning at this place. 3 For behold, the Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States, and the Southern States will call on other nations, even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war shall be poured out upon all nations,” (Doctrine and Covenants 87:1-3). See context
This is clearly another false prophecy since all nations did not get involved in the American Civil War.
Prophesy that the earth will tremble and the sun be hidden in “not many days”: “For not many days hence and the earth shall tremble and reel to and fro as a drunken man; and the sun shall hide his face, and shall refuse to give light; and the moon shall be bathed in blood; and the stars shall become exceedingly angry, and shall cast themselves down as a fig that falleth from off a fig-tree,” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:87) See context
The sun hasn’t yet been hidden nor has the moon hidden its face.
This prophecy was given on 12/27/1832. “Not many days hence”? Since the writing of this article on 6/22/06, it has been 63,364 days or 173 years, 5 months, 26 days. I think that 63,364 days is more than “not many days”.
For reference to January 1, 2000 it was 61,000 days (even), or 167 years, 5 days.
Pearl of Great Price
Prophecy that Isaiah 11 was about to be fulfilled – “In addition to these, he quoted the eleventh chapter of Isaiah, saying that it was about to be fulfilled. He quoted also the third chapter of Acts, twenty-second and twenty-third verses, precisely as they stand in our New Testament. He said that that prophet was Christ; but the day had not yet come when “they who would not hear his voice should be cut off from among the people,” but soon would come,” (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith, History, verse 40). See context
Isaiah 11:6-9 says, “And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the kid, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them. 7 Also the cow and the bear will graze; Their young will lie down together; And the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8 And the nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. 9 They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea.”
This has not yet been fulfilled. The wolf is not dwelling with the lamb, the calf and the lion are not together, nor are the cow and bear grazing together. The lion is not eating straw like an ox. Nursing children are not playing in the dens of cobras.
Interesting Quotes from Brigham Young
the Second Prophet of the Mormon Church
Brigham Young said your own blood must atone for some sins.
“There is not a man or woman, who violates the covenants made with their God, that will not be required to pay the debt. The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it . . . ” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, page 247; see also, Vol. 4, pp. 53-54, 219-220.)
Brigham Young said you must confess Joseph Smith as a prophet of God in order to be saved.
“…and he that confesseth not that Jesus has come in the flesh and sent Joseph Smith with the fullness of the Gospel to this generation, is not of God, but is Antichrist.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 9, p. 312).
Brigham Young said his discourses are as good as Scripture.
“I say now, when they [his discourses] are copied and approved by me they are as good Scripture as is couched in this Bible . . . ” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 264; see also page 95.)
Brigham Young said he had never given any counsel that was wrong.
“I am here to answer. I shall be on hand to answer when I am called upon, for all the counsel and for all the instruction that I have given to this people. If there is an Elder here, or any member of this Church, called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who can bring up the first idea, the first sentence that I have delivered to the people as counsel that is wrong, I really wish they would do it; but they cannot do it, for the simple reason that I have never given counsel that is wrong; this is the reason.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 16, page 161.)
Brigham Young compared his sermons with scripture.
“I know just as well what to teach this people and just what to say to them and what to do in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom…I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 95.)
Brigham Young said you are damned if you deny polygamy.
“Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, p. 266). Also, “The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 11, page 269).
Brigham Young said you can’t get to the highest heaven without Joseph Smith’s consent.
“…no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 289).
Brigham Young said God was progressing in knowledge.
“God himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, and will do so, worlds without end.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 120).
Brigham Young boasted.
“What man or woman on earth, what spirit in the spirit-world can say truthfully that I ever gave a wrong word of counsel, or a word of advice that could not be sanctioned by the heavens? The success which has attended me in my presidency is owing to the blessings and mercy of the Almighty . . . ” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 12, p. 127).
Brigham Young said that we are obligated to keep all the laws and ordinances of God.
“Some of you may ask, ‘Is there a single ordinance to be dispensed with? Is there one of the commandments that God has enjoined upon the people, that he will excuse them from obeying?’ Not one, no matter how trifling or small in our own estimation. No matter if we esteem them non-essential, or least or last of all the commandments of the house of God, we are under obligation to observe them.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 8, p. 339).
Brigham Young said Jesus’ birth was as natural as ours.
“The birth of the Savior was as natural as the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood–was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 8, p. 115).
Brigham Young said that God the Father and Mary ‘do it.’
“When the time came that His first-born, the Saviour, should come into the world and take a tabernacle, the Father came Himself and favoured that spirit with a tabernacle instead of letting any other man do it.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 4, Page 218.) “The birth of the Savior was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood — was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 8, page 115). Note: the late Bruce McConkie who was a member of the First Council of the Seventy stated “There is nothing figurative about his paternity; he was begotten, conceived and born in the normal and natural course of events…” (Mormon Doctrine, by Bruce McConkie, page 742.)
Brigham Young said that Jesus was not begotten by the Holy Spirit
“I have given you a few leading items upon this subject, but a great deal more remains to be told. Now, remember from this time forth, and for ever, that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, page 51).
Brigham Young taught that Adam was God.
“Now hear it, O inhabitants of the earth, Jew and Gentile, Saint and sinner! When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organize this world. He is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days! about whom holy men have written and spoken — He is our Father, and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do. Every man upon the earth, professing Christians or non professing, must hear it, and will know it sooner or later.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, page 50).
Brigham Young made a false prophecy?
“In the days of Joseph [Smith] it was considered a great privilege to be permitted to speak to a member of Congress, but twenty-six years will not pass away before the Elders of this Church will be as much thought of as the kings on their thrones.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 4, page 40.)
Brigham Young comments about blacks
“You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind….Cain slew his brother. Can might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, page 290).
“In our first settlement in Missouri, it was said by our enemies that we intended to tamper with the slaves, not that we had any idea of the kind, for such a thing never entered our minds. We knew that the children of Ham were to be the “servant of servants,” and no power under heaven could hinder it, so long as the Lord would permit them to welter under the curse and those were known to be our religious views concerning them.” (Journal of Discourses, Volume 2, page 172.)
“Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.” (Journal of Discourses, Volume 10, page 110.)
Some of the Many Changes in the
Book of Mormon
Joseph Smith said “that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book” (History of the Church, Vol. 4, page 461). Allegedly it was translated by the power of God. Nevertheless, it has some 4,000 changes in it. Some are mere spelling corrections, but others are significant changes. Why is this so if the book of Mormon was translated accurately by the hand of God? Why would the Mormon Church continue to change the work even after Joseph Smith’s death?
Following is a very small sample of the changes in the Book of Mormon.

The secret daily life of the average BNPer
One bonny Saturday afternoon:
Fred: (Saunters up to Terrance as Terrance weeds his front garden)
Terrance, I just wanted to tell you that my wife and I don’t mind living in the same neighbourhood with a BNPer. We just wanted you to know that. For years now we have lived in the same neighbourhood as you, and I was just telling my wife, the other day, that I would wager that you aren’t all that different from anyone else.
Terrance: (Sighs inwardly, sits up, smiles patiently and puts down his weeding tools)
Well, that’s very good of you Fred.
Fred: Yes, it is really, but I’m just that kind of a person. In order to prove to myself that you really are no different from anyone else in the neighbourhood, I have decided to follow you about for a few hours, just to get a feel for how you live your daily life. Now,Terrance, don’t look so shocked and you don’t have to thank me either. I don’t mind a bit. It will do you a great deal of good for I shall be able to mention to the other neighbours just how good of a person you really are and I will be able to stem those nasty rumours going about the neighbourhood.
Terrance: What nasty rumours?
Fred: Oh, you know, the rumours that imply that because you are a BNPer you are a raving racist who shoots at the local bird-life.
Terrance: (Looks bewildered)
No, actually, I really had not heard that I am a raving racist who shoots at the local bird-life.
Are you sure that you want to watch me as I go about my daily business? I’m really very normal and my routine might bore you a bit.
Fred: Well, never you mind. You just go about your daily business and I shall watch. Go ahead. Proceed. Upwards and onwards Terrance! Just pretend that I’m not here.
Terrance: Well, I’ve just finished weeding my garden and I was just about to go inside and prepare some kippers on toast, perhaps browse through my latest copy of the National Geographic magazine, and then I was going to call Mr. Jabi at the dry- cleaners and ask him if my suit is ready yet.
Fred: (Follows Terrance from the garden into the kitchen area)
So, this is a nice house that you have here. Tell me, is ‘kippers’ a code-word for some sort of secret political meeting that you are going to host here today? It’s ok. You can tell me.
Terrance: (Places some bread in the toaster and puts the kettle on to boil)
No, actually, I just like to enjoy a nice plate of kippers on toast after I weed my garden.
Fred: Right, right, right. So, do you have secret political meetings AFTER you eat the kippers on toast?
Terrance: (Looking more and more shocked) No Fred, I usually listen to Bach and do a crossword puzzle or read the National Geographic magazine. Do you care for cross word puzzles?
Fred: Oh, well, no I don’t care for crosswords puzzles actually, but I suppose that you are really going to deal firmly with that Mr. Jabi at the drycleaners! Going to give him a good telling off then? Going to take out a bit of angst out on him with a good telling off, I suppose!
Terrance: Why would I do that? Mr. Jabi has been doing my dry-cleaning for years and he happens to be a very nice fellow.
Fred: Don’t you hate him?
Terrance: (Looks unhappily exasperated)
No, I do not hate Mr. Jabi. I am against mass immigration, but I do not hate Mr. Jabi. Actually, Mr. Jabi enjoys a good dish of kippers on toast and he won a chess tournament last year. He’s quite good at chess or so I think.
Fred: (Winks)
So, are you planning on smacking around Mr. Jabi, just a bit? You know, are you planning on roughing him up a bit, just to give the message?
Terrance: (Looking horrified)
Good God, no! Why on earth would you think that I was planning on slapping Mr. Jabi? What message? Fred, have you gone quite mad? Why would you think that I was planning on slapping a seventy year old man who eats kippers and does my dry-cleaning?!
Fred: Well, you ARE against mass immigration. Why wouldn’t you slap Mr. Jabi about? Isn’t that what the BNP is all about?
Terrance: I have heard that you are against abortion. Is that so?
Fred: Yes, that is true. My wife and I are very much against abortion.
Terrance: Well then, does that mean that you are planning on slapping a
nurse?
Fred: Of course not!
Terrance: Well, I’m not planning on slapping Mr Jabi!
Fred: (Looks disappointed, but then perks up.)
What’s this? Is it a wooden box in which you hide your secret political- meeting agenda-papers?
Terrance: That’s a bird feeder, in the shape of a small Russian-style house. I’m planning on putting a final coat of paint on it this week and then filling it with seeds and placing it out in my back- garden.
Fred: Are you going to slap the birds about once you lure them over to your
new birdhouse?!
Terrance: (Sighs and arranges his kippers on some toast)
Fred, I am not planning on slapping Mr. Jabi, nor am I luring birds towards my garden, in order to slap them! I have never felt like slapping anyone or anything!
Fred: (With a suspicious look on his face)
Never? NEVER?
Terrance: Well, maybe just once, but it was just a fleeting urge and I did the right thing by managing to overcome the fleeting urge.
Fred: Right, I knew it! And what were you doing at the time that this fleeting urge came over you?
Terrance: During the minutes that preceded the fleeting urge to slap someone, I had just finished weeding in my garden and I was preparing to read my copy of National Geographic or do a crossword puzzle, but at the exact moment that the fleeting urge came over me, I was eating kippers and preparing to telephone Mr. Jabi!
Fred: Aha! So, you did once have the urge to slap about Mr. Jabi!
Terrance: Not at all.
Fred: Well, if you didn’t ever experience the urge to slap Mr. Jabi, then of which race was the person whom you did have the urge to slap?
Terrance: I really don’t know. I really couldn’t say.
Fred: That’s odd. Shouldn’t you be aware of the racial origin of the person whom you once had the urge to slap, even though you subsequently overcame the urge?
Terrance: I shouldn’t think so.
Fred: I should think so! How can you claim to be a raving-racist, who slaps about garden-birds and people, if you don’t even know the racial origin of the person whom you once wanted to slap?
Terrance: I never did claim to be any of those things. I am simply a member of the British National Party, but as for the matter pertaining to the racial origin of the person whom I once had the urge to slap, well, perhaps I can clear the mystery up for you, but still the point is that I overcame the urge to slap someone.
Fred: Well, go ahead then. Tell me. Of which racial or national background was the person whom you dearly would have enjoyed slapping?
Terrance: (Smiling happily to himself as he pops a piece of kipper into his mouth)
Hmm. It’s hard to say. Tell me, Fred, are you English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish?

Once upon a time there was a wealthy and pious man. He has a big garden always full of green trees laden with fruits. In the season, this rightful man used to distribute some of the fruits among the poor. The poor people of the City would wait for the fruits to become ripe and throng the Garden in the season. They would be happy after getting their share and go away.
Allah liked this act of the man. By the grace of Allah the Garden used to give rich harvest every season. True, one who spends in the name of Allah would soon get the reward in this life itself as well as in the life after death.
The man had many sons. They were not so pious as their father. So in the first season after their father’s death they conversed with each other. They discussed a plan and said to each other that their father was not a wise man. He did not know how it was difficult to earn livelihood. They did not like the practice of distributing some of the fruits among the poor since they toiled for it. They felt as if all their efforts went in vain. They thought they would also be ruined if they spend like this.
One of them said the poor people wait for the season throng the garden as usual. He asked how could they deny them next time.
Then they thought over its implications. As some people give away to poor for fear of their own prestige, they are afraid to deny the poor as well. At the same time they do not give alone for fear of Allah. Similar was the case of the boys. They were not afraid Allah’s penalty. What they were afraid of was fear of the people around. One of them suggested to tilth the fruits in the night and clears the garden of them before dawn pluck so that nobody could come and ask for his share. All others agreed to the suggestion. Since they were not even afraid of Allah, they forgot to say ‘Insha-Allah’, which means if Allah Wills. If a Muslim does not say so before doing something Allah may not fulfill his wish. But those who have no faith in Allah fail to remember this and get stuck up in their act. “….they resolved to gather the fruits of the garden in the morning, But made no reservation, (‘if it be Allah’s Will’)”
Allah is all Powerful. He knows no bounds in His Governance. All the brothers went to sleep with a view to getting up early in the morning and gather the ripe fruits. In the meantime, with the Will of Allah “there came on the (garden) a visitation from the Lord, (which swept away) all around, while they were asleep.”
Before the dawn broke, all of them got up and hurried up and “called out, one to another- ‘Go ye to your tilt (betimes) in the morning, if ye would gather the fruits. So they departed, conversing in secret low tones, (saying)- ‘let not a single indigent person break in upon you into the (garden) this day’.”
As they were proceeding towards the garden, they were quite unaware that Allah had willed otherwise. Because the garden had become by the morning, ‘like a dark and desolate spot, (whose fruit had been gathered).” So when they reached the garden, by now a desolate, deserted, and razed to the ground, they said this was not there garden, and that they had strayed away from the right path to the garden. But when they saw there was no other way around, they were wonder struck and awe-stricken. Soon they realized the situation and yelled: “We have surely lost our way. Indeed we are shut out (of the fruits of our labour)!” One of them said: “Did I not say to you ‘Why not glorify (Allah)’?” He had been advising them against this act, for he had said it is only Allah who would enhance their fruits if they continued to give away some of them in alms. Now all of them felt repented over their misdeed. Then they turned, to one another, in reproach and said: “Glory to our Lord! Verily we have been doing wrong. Alas for us! We have indeed transgressed!” All of them, then, sought Allah’s pardon and said: “It may that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this, for we do turn to him (in repentance).”
It is a small parable. Allah has mentioned this in the Qur’an (Sura Qalam). It has wider meanings for us to draw lessons. Allah has mentioned many other such parables in the Qur’an only to caution us and teach a lesson.
(1) Allah created human beings. But not all are equal in strength, power, physique, wisdom, wealth, etc. While some are strong and powerful, others are weak and powerless; some are wealthy and some poor and pauper; some are wise and intelligent, some coward and mediocre. Allah has divided a man’s mental, physical faculties with variable powers. He has distributed wealth with variance. And it is all according to one’s mental and physical ability and power. That is why some are wealthy persons and others are poor and look to the wealthy for their needs. Then, Allah has also made the wealthy leave behind his wealth for his progeny, and the poor’s generation remains the same. But this is not without any reason. Allah has also made it obligatory on the wealthy to help the poor in distress. The wealthy are put to severe test by Allah. He likes those who spend according to His wishes. He does not like those who either fritter away their wealth and resources in worldly affairs or do not pay to the poor.
On the other hand, Allah has also put the poor to test. They are not supposed to ask for any thing that they need from any one except Allah. In doing so they may lose their faith because in asking for help from those of his equals instead of Allah they would invite others in the Godhood which is Shirk. And if they remain steadfast in their poor condition and firm in their faith, Allah surely likes such people and has assured of reward in the Hereafter. Those who have love for worldly pleasure despite being poor and would not believe in the pleasures in the Hereafter would try to gain wealth in this world itself, which is short, lived. They forget that real, beautiful and satisfactory life is assured in the Hereafter. Hence, he should not ask from people wealthier or powerful to him for fulfilling his desires. Instead he should continue to strive for gaining Allah’s pleasure by remaining steadfast and firm in his faith.
And the army of Islam consists of such persons who do not spend their wealth on worldly affairs but distribute due share to the poor, and the poor remain steadfast in their life.
(2) It is obligatory on the part of a Momin to assess the quality, utility and value of what Allah has given to him. He should not spend it without the will of Allah in worldly affairs. He should know that he has to account for his wealth before Allah. Those who do not respond to the will of Allah suffer from one loss or the other.
What is the moral of the story?

I just bought a small plot of land (10×20), and it is just basically some fairly wild terrain full of tall grasses (safely assume they are weeds), and some dirt. I would love a step-by-step and/or websites to help me get on track to really start plotting the land and garden successfully. I figure this is the time to really get started, and I would love some help to get me there, whether it is about creating irrigation things ( I don’t even know that).
I am a college student in Davis, CA (fairly warm at this time of the year, and even hotter in the summer…but very cold weather in the winter around the 50s). I have no gardening experience, and merely just a passion to create life and maintain it. Without requiring a female to do so.

my sister and her husband are interested in doing up there house and have heard that there is a PC program that helps with both interier (?sp?) and landscaping, it does that before and after thing.
so you upload a photo or pick a design and then add it and you can add things (like lights) and change things (like wallpaper colour) and it shows you what it would look like with the rest of the house/garden (seperate programs maybe)
I’m sorry i know i’m not describing it well and i also know i can’t spell sorry again.
please help
thanks
