 any other food. In essence, it’s fast food that you can make yourself in only a few minutes.
Toast is healthier than most fast food as well because it’s not fried or loaded down with fat.
However, even though British people love toast just on their own, they also love to eat recipes made with this staple.
3. Gradually add the milk and continue to cook over medium heat until the sauce has thickened.
1. Sautee the chopped red pepper, onion, garlic, and red pepper in a pan.
3. Toast the bread in a toaster oven with a little olive oil drizzled on top.
4. Put the sliced toast on serving plates and pour the beans and vegetables from the pan onto the toast.
Although these recipes are all quite simple, you will also find them very tasty. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and experience a little bit of Britain with every bite.
April 13, 2004, 7:55 PM — As if wireless switch makers didn't have enough troubles, there's competition coming up from below, in the form of a US$3,000 software product whose vendors reckon it can pretty much do the job of wireless switches costing $20,000 or more.
WINc Manager 2.0, launched last week by tiny software vendor Cirond Corp., works with cheap commodity access points, and increases the flexibility of a Wi-Fi network by adding an extra useable channel.
"The thin AP is going to go away, because the math doesn't work," says Nicholas Miller, chief executive of Cirond, a company whose main claim to fame so far has been the WINc and Pocket WINc clients, with which laptop and PDA users find wireless networks. Instead of complicated switches that manage specialized access points, users want software to build on the strengths of commodity Wi-Fi equipment, he said, describing the wave of wireless switches as a distortion of the market to meet the needs of venture capitalists.
WINc Manager promises to do pretty much everything, says Miller. It coordinates the way APs use the wireless spectrum, and adds an extra channel without straying beyond the official Wi-Fi standard (see this White Paper). It can locate clients -- and rogue access points -- to within two meters, and bolster WEP security (still the base level in most installed equipment) to be as good as WPA.
It also uses its location-sensitivity, to secure the building against drive-by Wi-Fi hacking, by simply refusing connections from anyone whose coordinates are outside the building. The system can place access points on a map of the building, and tune the APs' radios to get best coverage.
So what's the catch? Well, it's pretty much unproven, with no published case studies (and we haven't tried it ourselves yet). It also is very much a bottom-up system, designed for small and medium-sized outfits, though Miller believes that is the sweet spot of the market at the moment, since even big organizations tend to put in small Wi-Fi networks, as an adjunct to their wired LAN.
It doesn't allow full roaming. All the APs have to be on the same subnet, but again Miller reckons that is a luxury most of us can still do without. And he promises to fix it later this year.
The other drawback, in the eyes of the established Wi-Fi industry, is Cirond's size. "They're a toenail biter," said Alan Cohen, vice president of marketing at Airespace. Cirond is in the process of establishing itself, and its turnover is at "noise" level. During the last year, it was bought by Exmailit, a company that planned to offer email to snail-mail services, but has now renamed itself as Cirond Corporation.This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?

Our business is information, knowledge, and wisdom. People read books for these reasons. If you only have information and knowledge about one human being in your life, knowing about the prophet Muhammad
(sallallaahu alayhi wassallam) is one most beneficial.
Everything he did was beneficial. Everything he said was beneficial. Everything he showed his Companions and rest of the world was beneficial. No ones life was studied closer and more in detail than his. He let his worship of Allah to be the subject of study. He lived and showed us how to live, how to deal with each other, how to deal with our neighbours, how to deal with our husbands and wives, how to have a relationship with our Creator. The salvation of ones soul is the most important thing in a Muslims life, thus evil is concealed within the soul and it necessitates actions of evil. If Allah lets the servant have his own way with his soul, he will perish at the evil of his own soul and evil actions that it sanctions. If Allah on the other hand, grants the servant success and assists him, he will deliver him from this all. Calling ones self to account is of two types: a type (that occurs) before the

action and a (type that) occurs after the action. As for the first type, it is to take a stance when one first has an intention and desire, and not to embark upon the action. And as for the second type, which is to take account of ones soul after the action. Allah says in the Holy Quran: ‘’Indeed, he succeeds who purifies it (i.e., his soul)’’.1

tafsir regarding this beautiful ayah; Allah the Most High
says that indeed, he succeeds who purifies his soul. So he greatly purifies his soul from
kufr (disbelief) and
disobedience and rectified it though righteous actions.2 Also Ibn Qayyim relates that Hasan al-Basri said: He succeeds, who purifies his soul by rectifying it and directing it towards obedience of Allah and he fails, who ruins it and direct it towards disobedience of Allah.3 Allah also says: “And indeed, he fails who corrupts it (i.e., his soul).”4

Also At-Tabari then relates from Mujahid who said regarding this ayat, means, misguided it. Then he relates that Qutaada said about this ayat, means, and caused it to sin.5 Furthermore, our beloved Prophet used to teach his companions (Khubatul-Haaja) the speech of need): All praise is for Allah; we praise Him. Seek His aid and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the “evils of our soul’’ and wickedness of our actions.6
Sins are a substantial obstacle hindering the way to attainment success, Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen says: some matters that protect a person from sins and help him to remain distant from them and not to fall into them are knowledge of their dangers, what they give rise to, their evil consequences and extreme harms.7 Ibn Rajab said says regarding repentance, that if a person repents to Allah and truly meets the conditions of repentance, then Allah will definitely accept that repentance from him in the same way he accepts a disbeliever embracing Islaam. This is the opinion of the majority of the Scholars and Ibn ‘AbdulBarr even gives some indication that this is a consensus on this point.8 Ibn Al-Qayyim said regarding sins: alienation between the slave and his Lord, lack of remembrance of
