Turkey Deputy PM visits Kosovo
Tuesday, April 22, 2014
PRISTINA, Kosovo – Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Emrullah Isler has praised 'excellent' relations with Kosovo on his visit to Kosovo's capital Pristina.
Minister Isler held a meeting with Kosovo's Parliament Speaker Jakup Krasniqi on Tuesday along with Turkish officials and Kosovar parliament members of Turkish origin.
Isler also visited the office of the Turkish International Cooperation and Development Agency, or TIKA.
He arrived in Kosovo on Tuesday together with the agency's president, Serdar Cam, on the invitation of Kosovo's Minister of Public Administration Mahir Yagcilar.
Addressing the media in Pristina, Minister Isler praised Kosovo's development towards building the country and gaining international recognition.
Isler said the Turkish development agency TIKA was not led by any imperialistic agenda, but by the goodwill of Turkey, which sought to give a hand to all people suffering difficult living conditions.
The minister added that TIKA paid special attention to the development projects in the Balkans, whose legacy from the period of the Ottoman Empire was very rich, but he stressed that agency's work in other fields was also significant.
"After the departure of the Ottoman Empire from here, many legacies of this period were destroyed. TIKA works on the restoration of what had remained here, aiming to leave it for future generations. TIKA is not exclusively devoted to this type of project - it also actively works in the field of agriculture, health, education and other areas," he said.
During the visit of the Turkish delegation to Kosovo, TIKA will be holding several ceremonies to mark the completion of some of the agency's projects.
Isler will also attend the Children's Day ceremony in Kosovo on Wednesday.
TIKA was founded in 1992 and has 35 branches in the world.

You will also have to decide whether you want a waterfall or a fountain or 50 to 500 Gallon Ponds – a great place to start, not a big perhaps both.

With water gardening the only limit is your imagination. 4 5 Building a pond with Building a pond with a pre-formed pond a pre-formed pond Laguna pre-formed ponds are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and depths. Many come with pre-contoured shelves and steps. Choose a style that best suits your garden and selected location. Another point to consider when selecting your pre-formed pond is water depth. If you wish to winter your fish in a harsh climate you will need to select a pond with a depth of at least 4 feet therefore a liner may be more suitable. Installing a pre-formed pond: 1 2 3 1 Place the pond in position and carefully mark out its shape with pegs (ill.1). DO NOT place the pre-formed pond upside down to outline the shape, or your hole will not match the shape of the form. Position the pond right side up in the exact place you want it and use it as a guide or template while digging around the stakes. Make your outline 4 – 6 inches larger than the pond itself. 2 Check the first level and start digging down to the shelves. 4 5 3 Reposition the pond, mark out the inner deeper section and continue digging out to the bottom. Be sure that the hole is slightly deeper than the actual depth of the preformed pond and verify that the DURASHIELD bottom is level.

This will hold the liner in place and create a decorative touch. Use mortar or foam to keep these Here's an example: decorative pieces in place. If you're building a pond that's 6 ft wide x 8 ft long x 2 ft deep, do the following calculations: 7 Keep filling the pond with water. The liner will stretch and mould itself to the shape of the pond and adjust the weight as the liner settles. Be 2 feet in depth x 2 = 4 feet careful when filling the pond with water. If the liner is allowed to 6 feet in width + 4 feet = 10 feet contort and stretch too much it may be damaged. 8 feet in length + 4 feet = 12 feet 8 Once the pond is full, trim off any excess liner from Now calculate 10 feet + 2 feet = 12 feet for the total width and 12 feet + 2 around the edge of the paving slabs, leaving an overlap feet = 14 feet for the total length. You will need a liner that is 12 x 14 feet. of at least 6". Make sure that the trimmed liner is above the desired water level. 1 Once you have decided on your design, outline the shape that you want to create using a rope or hose. Mark the depth of shelves for planting. TIP – After placing all rocks and edging, empty the water from the pond as it will be dirty from the mortar and rock debris. The simplest way to do this is with your pond's filter pump.

This will protect the actual liner from damage due to exposed roots or rocks. 8 9 Adding a waterfall Choosing a pond pump Any water garden will benefit from the use of a pump. Water must flow constantly for effective filtration to take place. Filtration is critical in keeping pond water healthy, clean and clear. Fish and plant life will thrive in a well-circulated pond. Without water circulation and filtration your pond could suffer from a lack of oxygen and, consequently, poor water quality. Before buying your pump, you must first determine how much work you are asking it to do. Will it just circulate water or will it pump water through a U.V. sterilizer, waterfall, fountains, ornaments, and filter. Answering these questions will help determine the size of your pump. The more features you add, the more Whether you have a pre-formed or liner pond, the following steps are work you are asking your pump to do, and therefore, the more powerful it has common to both. to be. Also, it is a good idea to buy a pump with a capacity slightly greater than your initial needs, especially since you may want to add to your system later. If you decided to create a simple pond all you need to do is add water, decorate and enjoy your creation. However, if you've decided to do a little To keep ponds healthy, a general rule of thumb is that pond water should more planning and work, you can enhance the beauty of your water be circulated at least once every two hours. A 500-gallon pond, for example, requires a pump capable of generating a minimum flow of 250 gallons per garden by adding a waterfall. A waterfall is very beneficial as it will hour. To figure out the volume of water your pond will need to circulate use provide needed oxygen while adding the soothing sound of running water. the following calculation. Please note that you should state measurements Whether pre-formed or a liner and natural rocks, your waterfall will need in feet for these calculations. to be carefully checked for water leaks and steady flow in order to prevent For a square or rectangular pond: water loss or stagnant areas. Ensure that the base of your waterfall is solid. Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 = Total gallons Fill any gaps or crevices with sand or soil and tamp into place. Make sure that the upper levels overlap the main pond or liner to assure a smooth For a round pond: 0.785 x (Top diameter x Bottom diameter x Depth) x 7.5 = Total gallons. flow of water. Although the waterfall may look artificial to start, it will quickly become more natural looking as your pond ages and matures. Another important factor in choosing the right pump for your pond is Adding live plants will also make the waterfall look more natural. "Head Height". As much as possible, conceal the hose from your water pump. To achieve Fountains and waterfalls reduce flow (gallons per hour) available for this you can use rocks, small stones, mulch and plants. circulation. This flow reduction depends on the total head height, which is the distance from the pond surface to the top of the fountainhead, plus the Planning ahead will help you determine if you want flowers or ornamental distance from the water surface to the top of the waterfall. shrubs planted around or alongside your waterfall. The addition of Laguna Example: lighting and ornaments can also make a striking visual effect of your pond.

GPH (U.S.) flow at a 3' head height. The water may appear cloudy or dirty depending on your type of Two other factors to consider before buying a pump is the width of your installation. Don't worry about this. As soon as you have your water waterfall and the length of hosing used to connect the pump to equip- accessories installed, it will clear up quickly. Now the fun begins, tweeking ment. You need an additional 75 to 100 GPH in flow rate for every inch in and tuning the waterfall for sound and flow. width of your waterfall.

However, care should be taken in the selection and placement of plants in or around your water area. There are four categories of pond plants: Oxygenating Plants Fish and water quality benefit greatly from oxygenating plants. These plants use fish waste as fertilizer and provide oxygen to the water. In addition, they help maintain a natural balance for your pond by competing with algae for any nutrients in the water thereby limiting the growth of algae. It should be noted that plants may not be able to provide all of the oxygen necessary for your pond's livestock, so help may be needed from a fountain waterfall or aeration kit. Floating Plants Floating plants, including lily pads, should cover a large percentage of the surface area Installing a fountain of your pond.

There are a number of prod- ucts available that can help offset the results of these environmental conditions. Fish add color, movement and grace to your water garden.

Chlorine and chloramine in tap water may kill or injure fish. Use Laguna Water Prep for fast and effective dechlorination. 2 Keep sharp objects away from pond liners. 3 Install pumps on bricks or blocks keeping them from the bottom of the pond to minimize clogging. 4 The maximum height of your fountain should not exceed half the width of your pond. 5 Allow for 1 inch of fish per square foot of surface area. You can allow 2 inches per square foot with improved filtration from a Laguna Skimmer Filter or Filter Falls. 6 If you are going to keep large Koi, they should be kept in large, well filtered ponds. The pond should be at least 3 ft (1 m) deep. 7 Oxygenating plants provide oxygen only during daylight. Fish can suffer stress during warm, still nights unless extra oxygen is supplied. Water agitation created by a splashing fountain or waterfall is ideal. 8 Although most pumps operate using a normal electrical supply, the installation should be a permanent one using a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter). Always use cables and connectors designed for outdoor and water garden use. Have your system installed or checked by an electrician. 9 The finishing touches.

This review is from: Driving Rain (Audio CD)
At best, this album is akin to the greatest of the Wings output. If I were to describe it accurately though, I would say it was a mix between 'McCartney II' in weirdness, 'Back To The Egg' in Wings-ness and 'Flaming Pie' in sheer creativeness. Upon first hearing, the similarness of the songs makes them seem to merge together and nothing particularly strikes you - but listen again, and it's actually marvellous!
It will grow on me. That is the reason I gave it four stars and not three. The songs that immediately stand out are: "From A Lover To A Friend" (the excellent first single), "Magic" (with a great drum break at the end), "Your Way" (which wouldn't have looked out of place on 'The White Album'), "About You" (a great rocker - too short, though), "Heather" (a mostly instrumental track and arguably one of the best tracks on the record), and "Your Loving Flame" (one of the best Macca ballads: and he's done a few!)
Despite recent reports, Paul's voice may not be in the best shape it's ever been, but it's still in great form. This is especially shown on the impressive vocal of the bonus track "Freedom" (a song for the NYC Firefighters.) The musicianship is great. The drummer (Abe Laboriel Jnr.) is excellent, as is the bassplayer (I can't quite remember his name!)
Of course, there are more than a fair share of Beatles/Wings moments. "I Do" and "Your Way" could have been extracted from any later Beatles record, and "Riding Into Jaipur" could have been written by George H. and the walking basslines couldn't be anyone else. The whole sound of the album has a spontaneous quality which are apparent on most Beatles albums/songs.
You can imagine most of these tracks appearing on Wings albums, especially "Lonely Road", "She's Given Up Talking" and "Back In The Sunshine Again" (one of two written with his son, James). This is not signifying that Sir Paul has taken a backwards step: he is merely showing the world that he can still do it!!
All in all, 'Driving Rain' is extremely enjoyable. It's great to hear the master back doing what he does best - a guy loving life and sharing it with you; singing about loves and losses and just so happening to make a damn good CD documenting it all! In a nutshell, extremely creative and inspiring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Driving Rain,
Jane Aland (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driving Rain (Audio CD)
'Driving Rain' is an interesting if slightly uneven album, with the material ranging from beautifully crafted ballads to extended rock noodling, with a couple of diversions to George Harrison flavoured Indian music and laid-back grooving along the way. At it's best this album offers up a trilogy of gorgeous tracks ('I Do', 'From A Lover To A Friend', 'Heather') that are alone worth the price, and virtually every song contains at least moments of genius, though personally I find the pair of songs co-written with Paul's son ('Spinning on an Axis', 'Back in the Sunshine Again') rather out of place with their laid back grooves going nowhere fast. The production throughout is spartan, letting the musicianship shine without burying tracks in a mass of overdubs. A little too uneven to rank as a classic from beginning to end, but the highlights definately outweigh the odd meandering moment. Good stuff.

If compared to Flaming Pie then this album does not hit the same delights as Little Willow, Young Boy, Calico Skies, The World Tonight. However, Driving Rain does have its moments with From a Lover to a Friend, Spinning on an Axis, Back in the Sunshine Again and Riding into Jaipur. So you pays your money and takes your chances. Either way enjoy but do buy Flaming Pie first if you haven't already done so! Funsize.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very different,
This review is from: Driving Rain (Audio CD)
I must admit when I bought this album (the day it came out) I was expecting it to be a dark, harrowing album filled with McCartney writing about the loss of Linda. Initially, I was disappointed with many of the songs on the album as they seemed like typical McCartney fluff. I have to say though in retrospect this album is one of his most different sounding albums McCartney has recorded and it is far better than some of the albums that typically earn good reviews. Think of Tug of War. A good record but certainly not light on fluff, some of the tracks (dress me up as a robber, whats that you're doing)make me cringe. Or Flowers in the Dirt. That album has some of my favorite McCartney tunes (Put it there, My brave face, This One)but I think he sounds older and more "pedestrian" than he does on driving rain. What I like about driving rain is how much it grows on me. I've come to think of the best songs as lonely road (killer bass line, thoughtful lyrics), from a lover to a friend (a piano ballad with a point), heather (love the sunny vocals), your loving flame (although it does seem a little forced), and especially rinse the raindrops. I cant believe more folks havent noticed McCartneys excellent screaming on this song. Also I disagree with the negative feedback that 'Riding into Jaipur' has recieved. Here's McCartney getting pretty trippy musically and people say he s copying George Harrison? I just don't get it. I also have really grown to love "Shes given up talking" because of the spooky acoustic guitar, fuzz bass, and interesting vocals. By the way, the lyrics to the title track are slight but his bass line is great on it. I also really like the chord changes in the middle part. The only song I really don't think much of is Tiny Bubble because while some of the guitar parts are good and the organ sounds great this song just never gets off the ground. Also, About You is one of McCartneys best rockers in a long time. In closing, I think the main reason I like this album is because it is so different. It really doesn't sound like the McCartney you'd expect. I'm still playing it almost 2 years after its release.

5.0 out of 5 stars A return to the early 70's?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Driving Rain (Audio CD)
After listening to the album four times, my initial impression is that it sounds like a distant cousin to the RAM album. There is that kind of casual, let's-do-it-and-not-think-too-much-about-it quality about it, which in general recalls Paul's early 70's albums. True to this spirit, some of the songs are slight (Heather, Your Way, Driving Rain) but still very catchy. Songwriting has always come easy to Paul, you see, and occasionally he just doesn't feel the need to come up with a middle eight or a "bridge" to properly finish off a song.
The production is, in my opinion, a vast improvement over the last album. The vibe is warm and organic, the natural sounding drums are much more suitable to Paul's music than Jeff Lynne's monster snare hits on Flaming Pie. If you own any other McCartney albums then you know what to expect lyrics-wise. The guy never did compete with Shakespeare, you know, and with an exception of couple of poignant moments, the words are merely pleasant and passable.
But it doesn't matter, because that familiar Paul McCartney vibe, that melodic spark which we all love so much, is still there. And curiously, there are several deeply melancholic moments here that carry genuine emotion: From A Lover To A Friend, She's Give Up Talking and Lonely Road in particular both have a strange, haunting quality to them. The final two songs on the record could have been dumped, particularly the half-baked Rinse The Raindrops, which lasts ten minutes and doesn't really add anything to the proceedings. My version of the album (U.S.) comes with a bonus track -- a live recording of "Freedom" from the New York City benefit. It's quite rousing, and Paul's vocal sounds much stronger than I remember it from watching the show on TV.
In the end, if you don't like McCartney, this album won't convert you. But for the diehards, this is an embarrassement of riches. Is this on par with his classic stuff? Have no idea. Only time will tell I suppose. But, hey, it's just great to hear from the man every once in a while. Favorite songs: Lonely Road, From A Lover To A Friend, She's Giving Up Talking, Driving Rain, Your Way, Magic, I Do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful song-smithing similar to Dylan's Time out of Mind,
S. Foster "sfoster105" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driving Rain (Audio CD)
I reckon McCartney has gone back to his Beatles roots and spent a bit of time listeneing to their old mentor, Bob Dylan. This album sounds like Paul has been digesting Dylan's last but one album, 'Time out of Mind'. The songs feature the same relaxed confidence and slightly mushy, slightly unpolished, 'around the beat' groove. This type of thing can only be done by the Dylans and McCartneys of this world. To pull if off requires supreme mastery in song-smithing.
I think its a very refreshing album - an added bonus is a bit of Lennonesque rhythm guitar work on a few of the songs which will have Beatles fans reminiscing and digging out their old albums. Nice sound all round.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not an instant classic - but give it a chance.,
firstname.lastname@example.com (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driving Rain (Audio CD)
Not Macca's most commercial album but after a few listens the sheer beauty iof the melodies emerges. On first hearing it comes over as rough and under produced but given time the beauty of songs like "Tiny Bubble". "Magic", "Heather" and "Loving Flame" escapes.It's amazing that "From A Lover To A Friend" didn't do well as a single as it's one of his best ballads for a long time. The title track is a great rocker spoilt only by pretty awful nurserty rhyme type lyrics. Whilst there are a couple of filler tracks, overall this shows that Macca hasn't lost his touch and the album is up there with "Flowers In The Dirt" and "Flaming Pie" for quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still on form McCartney album,
Mr. P. J. WHEATLEY "Paul James Wheatley" (England) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Driving Rain (Audio CD)
The new album is another example of how Paul McCartneys most recent releases have been among his best for a long time. It does sound as though it could have been recorded during the Wings period, especially songs like "your way" very simular to "Country Dreamer from 73" and "About you" very "Back to the egg" itself a very underrated album. The majority of the new songs sound very 70s in the interpretation. I love the semi-instrumental "Heather" and the love ballad "I do" and the song "Magic" really is magic. Excellent CD, maybe not quite as good as "Flaming pie!" but then again "Flaming pie" was one of his best solo albums along with "Pipes of peace, Tug of War and Broad Street!". Can't wait for the next McCartney album, I've been buying each one as they are released since the early 80s.

4.0 out of 5 stars Macca back to reality.,
This review is from: Driving Rain (Audio CD)
A welcome return to the studio and an album of original material since the death of Linda. Featured strongly is a mix of feelings of loss and new found love as should be expected from a performer well known for penning emotional songs from the heart.
Upon the first listening i thought it was not of a very high standard that is expected of McCartney, i was already disappointed by the single(From a lover to a friend), but after a few listenings it began to grow on me and i think i prefer it to Flaming Pie now!
This album is a positive, harder edged McCartney still showing he still doe'nt mind taking a few risks along the way.
There are obvious commercial catchy songs (Driving Rain and Tiny Bubble) and the strong balled Your Loving Flame.
Tiny Bubble surprised me..not sounding particularly typical Macca but it works and it IS a great song.
Much in evidence is McCartney the bass player. More interesting and melodic of late perhaps due to looking back to early rock n roll on the Run Devil Run album.
For me the album only picks up momentum with the title track Driving Rain. Riding to junipur is in Indian style similar to George Harrisons. You either love it or hate it!!
Rinse the Raindrops is an incredible 10 minute long jam similar to songs he did with Steve Miller on Flaming Pie and although could have been edited it is still a welcome track.
In conclusion Driving Rain is as good as anything McCartney has done..if not better. Typical McCartney melodic, lyrical songsmith with the odd surprise and a man who has gone through every emotion through the past few years to return with a positive, strong album which sounds like he is really enjoying himself, after all he does not HAVE to record anything again..but he is a workaholic and you just cant stop the guy producing brilliant songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paul is one of our best musicians and pop writers,
Mike London "MAC" (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driving Rain [VINYL] (Vinyl)
With the release of DRIVING RAIN, Paul McCartney has delivered three superb albums and hasn't been on a streak like this since the early 1970s. Those who criticise McCartney for this album is beyond me. As always, the melodies are excellent, and there's a real rejuvenation in the instrumentation. This music is tight and muscular, and when McCartney does indulge the band, stretching "Rinse the Raindrops" to over ten minutes, it never feels successive excessive, though it does feel like jamming. In this sense, the jamming is controlled and very much under McCartney's control, and the jamming fits naturally into the song's structure.
Each song is classic McCartney, and you can tell he really cares about these songs. Those who complain about the rather trite lyrics of the title cut with its counting chorus or the "Spinning on an Axis," are just out of the loop and have been for years.
McCartney is, first and foremost, a pop engineer, not a lyricist. Much of his work, let's face it, doesn't have a lot of substance (come on, "Silly Love Songs"?), and he has for years been making domestic pop with melody and a pleasant mood his first and foremost concern. Even looking back at his Beatles years, songs like "Here, There, and Everywhere," from the 1966 album Revolver, or "Ob La Di, Ob La da," from my personal Beatles favorite THE WHITE ALBUM aren't deep at all. Both songs are stunning tracks none-the-less, standing as very solid pop and some of the best music around.
Much of McCartney's critical problems are the fact the "intellectuals" are more interested in hearing former band-mate Lennon sing about feminism in "Woman is the Nigger of the World," or "Working Class Hero," and what music critics fail to realise is McCartney is working with a totally different ascetic than Lennon did.
McCartney is working for a different audience than the other rockers, and he is both the best and most experienced at delivering jaw-dropping pop which may be short on substance but that doesn't matter because substance is rather beside the point. While the critics may hold a grudge, McCartney's gifts rewarded him with the most successful Beatles solo career.
The Beatles were very much a band, and what made them as great and successful as they still are is McCartney and Lennon could combine their writing styles into a cohesive and very balanced song-writing team. Without one another, Lennon went his political route and McCartney his pop route. They stand as the two extremes on the best song-writing team that music has seen, and without these two extremes we would not have gotten the balance that made The Beatles so great.
Personally, I have a beef with the critics in regards to McCartney anyway. They are very unfair to him, because The Beatles are their critical darlings and without his superb pop-writing craft The Beatles would be drastically weakened. The critics damn McCartney for playing up to his strength that they were so adamant in favour of when he was with The Beatles because Lennon balanced him. No one complained when Lennon played up to his strengths as a songwriter. This is one of the critics' many blindsides.
In much the same way, you can compare Dylan with McCartney. While both are from the same era and both released albums roughly around the same time, they serve as good counter-points toward one another. Dylan has always had a much bigger scope and influence than McCartney, and his song-writing is both very diverse and very complex. Dylan's always had much more appeal both from the intellectual standpoint and the musical standpoint. While I would rather have LOVE AND THEFT over DRIVING RAIN (I'm a big Dylan fan), the beauty of both records is you see two rock pioneers do what they do best. While Dylan is deeper and much broader in scope in LOVE AND THEFT, he couldn't come up with a track to match McCartney in just good solid pop, and to tell the truth I wouldn't want him to try.
Going with the Dylan conversation even further, Dylan's trouble with women show up in his work, and it is both visceral, bitter, rage at both himself and the woman, wistful, and hopeful, reminiscing over the good times and the bad. The three albums McCartney has done since Linda died also shows the effects of loving his love.
While the situation is much different, with Dylan going through a divorce and McCartney losing his wife to breast cancer, the point is his emotions escape in very poppy music whereas Dylan devotes whole songs to anger (Idiot Wind) or remorse or any of the emotions. McCartney couldn't write a song equaling "Idiot Wind" to save his life, but the same could be said about Dylan writing a song that is both extremely good pop and still captures McCartney's emotion and heart about Linda ("Lonely Road," "From a Lover to a Friend," "It Must Have Been Magic.")
McCartney's doing what he does best. This isn't deep music, it's not "analyse every word," or a walk through America's musical history (or England's since McCartney's a Brit) like LOVE AND THEFT is.
McCartney accomplishes what he has set out to do, being the best pop musician around. DRIVING RAIN is great pop and no one can touch him.

Matthew Yglesias: 75 Percent Of What catches Condi Rice floundering when asked how many al-Qaeda people are being counted as "leaders" when Bush et. al say they have captured or killed '75 percent of the al-Qaeda known leadership' . Given the vagueness of her answer, which appears due to total ignorance as to either the real facts or how this factoid was concocted, Matt Yglesias concludes "they could mean as few as eight people."

Rupert Sanders and Kristen Stewart: The Photographic Evidence!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
A supermarket tabloid may have gotten it right for once regarding Robsten.
Much to the chagrin of Robert Pattinson.
Following the bombshell Us Weekly report that Kristen Stewart cheated on Pattinson with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, the photographic evidence of this encounter has now been revealed - and if it's not 100% damning, it's fairly close to it.
Stewart and Sanders are clearly locked in a couple embraces, with the magazine story quoting the photographer who snapped the pictures.
He claims the two were "kissing like crazy" inside Kristen's car and: "They'd only take a break whenever someone walked by. It seemed like they couldn't get enough of each other. She was swept up in the moment."
Neither Stewart nor anyone in her camp has denied the report, with one anonymous source simply telling People it was a one-time incident and Stewart is "devastated" over her actions.
But the ramifications of the alleged affair could be felt for a very long time: Sanders is married to Liberty Ross and has two children. Moreover, a sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman is expected to start shooting in the near future... with both Stewart AND Ross attached! Then there's promotion for Breaking Dawn Part 2 to consider.
Kristen Stewart is shy and uncomfortable around the press on a good day. How will she possibly react to this kind of attention?
How can people blame it all on her? Look at the way he's holding her in those photos, she is young (actually my age, so, immature) and selfish and he's a dirty old man who should have known better, but they're both human, and life can get boring, they were attracted to each other and shit happened. I think the worst thing is the way their spouses had to find out, i think they should have been honest, that's the worst thing that they did.
kstew may have been waiting for this moment with rupert coz rob might be a "gay" and that's not kstew fault. rupert is not a christian - thou shall not covet thy neighbor's girls, butm if your neightbor's girl covets you, thou shall not refuse? crazy! wahkokok!
I know that RPattz and Liberty are really really hurt. Kristen and Rupert you did an ugly mess. Tsk.tsk.
I initially thought she was stupid betraying such a guy so clearly in love with her. Then I thought she may be actually clever: how convenient have been to be with him while filming the saga and how convenient breaking up when they do not need to be together on set anymore. If she has been with him for more than three years, she must know how much English people - on average - care about their privacy. She must have known that apologising publicly (or doing anything public that he did not agree too) would have "horrified" him. Besides, you don't let the person you "love" discovering stuff on gossip magazines, you speak directly to that person...
July 27th, 2012 12:21 PM because as a decent woman, knowing that the "man" is married with children and the wife happens to be somebody you work with, you stay away. they are both at fault, that's true... but she is a slut and a bitch for allowing her libido to overshadow her judgement given the circumstances.
Damn, the pap who took these photos got PAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Janey: your are absolutely right. she loves robert pattinson, but she was never in love with him and she ended it, for good. kristen never looked at rob the way she looks at rupert.
@ Bonny Bohl who wrote on..
July 26th, 2012 3:03 PM Please do not blame her. She's got the Bonobo gene as do 46% of white girls. White guys are generally very loyal. Shame that this bonobo gene causes such havoc. But, she will do it again. She gets a thrill out of it. Better for the vampire to walk away.
Had to repost .
@Bonny Bohl, you think you are very slick using bonobo as a racist attack. You imbecile. Every race of man cheats. Women too. Doesn't matter if they are white ,black, asian,latin etc. You are a imbecile. In case you don't know what that means, look it up moron. Smh at people like you. Grow up.

Cops Corner: Sarasota
Date: February 28, 2013
by: Observer Staff
Feb. 13
1:35 a.m. — 500 block of Kumquat Drive. Lodging Out of Doors. An officer issued a citation to a homeless man who was sleeping on the ground, wrapped in several blankets and using clothing as a pillow.
Feb. 14
9:18 p.m. — 5200 block of Ocean Boulevard. Noise Disturbance. An anonymous caller reported loud music coming from a bar. A deputy drove by the location with her window down and radio off, and the music seemed loud to her. When the officer approached the bar, the live band had finished playing for the night.
Feb. 15
11:46 p.m. — Intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Ocean Place. Driving Under the Influence. A deputy stopped a woman for driving 15 miles per hour greater than the speed limit. The officer noticed the woman smelled of alcohol and noted that she presented her voter registration card instead of her vehicle registration. The deputy arrested her and impounded her vehicle for safekeeping.
Feb. 16
6:57 p.m. — Intersection of Midnight Pass Road and Higel Avenue. Leaving the Scene of an Accident. A man crashed his truck into another man's vehicle at a stoplight. When the crash victim exited his vehicle, the man drove away. The victim gave deputies the fleeing vehicle's tag number, and the man admitted the act after the officer called him.
Feb. 17
1:35 a.m. — 900 block of Beach Road. Resisting Officer Without Violence. An officer stopped a man driving 20 miles per hour greater than the speed limit.

Feb. 18
10 p.m. — 2400 block Browning Street. Dispute. A man called police about an ongoing dispute with his roommate. Police believe the dispute is caused by a "romantic situation gone awry," because the roommate happens to be the man's ex-girlfriend. The man told police he woke up to his roommate throwing a pot of cold coffee on him. The roommate then ripped up his calendar and check register. According to the man, she also took all of his toiletries and put them in the bathroom sink. An officer advised the man to begin the eviction process against his roommate.
12 p.m. — 900 block of Beach Road. Grand Theft. A woman left her bag near a volleyball net for two hours. When she returned, the bag containing two cellphones and $300 cash was missing. Witnesses did not see anyone suspicious in the area.

It is a matter of priorities. If the public values highly enough the opportunity to hike to the oases in Palm Canyon, encounter bighorn sheep, camp in the backcountry, drive dirt roads through the Badlands, see the spring displays of wildflowers, view the geological wonders of Split Mountain, or roam the many pristine landscapes that have barely changed in centuries, then the public will have to support the future of the park.
Gov. Jerry Brown has proposed state income and sales tax hikes, mainly to help fund public schools. Arguably, the loss of opportunities to experience the natural environment – what naturalist Richard Louv has termed "nature deficit disorder" – is as severe a problem as the decline in public education.
In the short run, backers of Anza-Borrego can donate to support groups and offer volunteer services. We can debate whether the long-term funding to preserve and manage places like Anza-Borrego should come from taxes, fees or donations, and precisely how large a budget is needed. First, however, there must be both recognition of how rich and valuable a resource this is, and a commitment to give it the care it requires to serve future generations.
Lowe is a San Diego land-use lawyer and mediator who has been visiting Anza-Borrego Desert State Park for 30 years. Kramer is executive director of the Anza-Borrego Foundation.

Was there really a point to this? Bringing back the screaming savage indian of years past? It's bad enough that racism like this existed for so long, it was Atlanta's logo from 1967 to 1989. The mohawked image first made an appearance in 1954 during the Braves' Milwaukee days. From Big League Stew: The re-emergence of the questionable logo is surprising given that the Cleveland Indians have been distancing themselves from Chief Wahoo in recent years. (This year's Indians BP cap features the increasingly familiar block 'C'.) Even the Braves have landed on the right side of sensitivity, replacing an offensive savage patch on the throwback jerseys the team introduced in 2012. This is the team that gave us John Rocker, the king of cultural insensitivity. And experienced a PR nightmare from the tomahawk chop. They really should know better, cuz there's no upside here.

6 large floury potatoes, scrubbed
1⁄4 cup olive
2 tsp sweet paprika
1⁄2 tsp garlic salt
1⁄2 tsp dried oregano
1⁄4 tsp cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1⁄2 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed

3 green onions, chopped
1⁄2 cup sliced
black olives
1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced, or 1⁄4 cup canned sliced

uniform thickness. Transfer to a bowl. Add oil, paprika, garlic salt, oregano,
cayenne and freshly ground pepper to taste and toss until potatoes are well
2. Transfer potatoes to baking sheets, lining them up nicely
(do not let them touch). Bake in preheated oven, turning once or twice, for
