Top Backpacking Destinations Ranking: 8/10
Buenos Aires is an incredible city. It is a place that has captured many a backpacker's heart and extended many a trip by weeks, months and years.

11 SEO Tactics to Avoid on Your Travel Blog
If done right, Search Engine Optimisation is a great way to extend the reach of your travel blog. Whilst many people see SEO as a dark art that is only carried out by people trying to game the system, taking part in white hat SEO practices can produce fantastic results for your blog which brings in a lot of new readers.
Whilst i do plan on writing a post on 'Great SEO Tactics for Your Travel Blog' very soon, i thought i'd precede it with a few pointers on what not to do when you're upping the SEO activity on your blog! So here we go.
1. Stuff your site's meta data (keywords, description, title) with keywords.
2. Take part in link schemes (i.e. Link Market et al – these are bad news and Google doesn't like them!)
3. Scrape copy from other blogs and websites to use on your own – always make it unique.
4. Pay an online scheme to submit your blog to hundreds of directories automatically
5. Hide text with CSS or by using the same colour text and background
6. Waste time comment spamming – spend the time wisely participating in the community
7. Ignore social media – it now affects rankings as well as being a great way to meet the travel community
8. Link to other websites using hyphens, commas and the like
9. Worry about Toolbar Page Rank
10. Link to unrelated websites for a quick buck (especially gambling, pharmaceutical etc..)
11. Let advertisers pull the wool over your eyes by offering you 'free' content which links to their site
So there are a few things for you to consider! If you avoid these sort of tactics and focus on the right way to do SEO then you'll be on the right track. I'll follow this post up with a more positive one (!) with actionable SEO tips for you and your blog. In the meantime, if you have any SEO tips (or questions) of your own then comment away!
Ouarzazate, Morocco – Backpacking Photo of the Week
Wherever you look in Morocco there is an opportunity for a great photo. I've discussed before the huge variety in the landscapes, the people in stunning dress and the wonderful artistry around every corner so i won't witter on about it again!
This week's Backpacking Photo of the Week was taken in Ouarzazate in Central Morocco. It is known as the 'door to the desert' and has featured in many films due to the architecture which is still reminiscent of days gone by. Much of the local area has been used in films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator and it continues to be the go-to place for film studios.
The architecture that draws the film studios in is also incredibly appealing for travellers, with terracotta walls and tiled rooves everywhere you look. This photo was taken down one of the many small streets leading into the souks deep in the city and captures a local taking a breather from his busy day:
Backpacking in Eastern Europe: 3 Must Visit Destinations
Europe is an amazing place to go travelling. There is a fantastic array of destinations in such close proximity compared to other continents like South America where a 12 hour bus journey is the norm. Do that in Europe and you'll have sailed across about 4 countries! With so many places so close together its tempting to try and pack in as much as possible during your travel time. I prefer to spend a bit longer in a few choice places and really get to know them and if you do too, then the following 3 places should be parked at the top of your list of must visit destinations:
Lake Bled, Slovenia:
A stunning lake set in beautiful surroundings, Lake Bled is the perfect getaway when you have been stopping off at the wide range of Eastern European cities on your trip. The backpacker's journey in this part of the world is often quite city-orientated, moving from capital to capital by train and taking on life in the fast lane. After countless nights on the town, days of pavement-pounding and stunning (if slightly repetitive) architecture, Bled is the perfect escape.
Life slows down here, the quiet streets only see a car from time to time and it is nature that takes over. Surrounded by lush green mountains the lake sits beautifully hidden away from the pressure of city life and allows travellers to sit back, have a breather and contemplate their journey so far. Hiring a boat and rowing out to the island is a must, where a small church sits, majestically overlooking the lake in all its splendour. If your journey has taken you from Prague to Bratislava to Budapest, then it's time you took some time out and enjoyed this hidden, rural gem.
Kazbegi, Georgia
Here i am harping on about Kazbegi again, and with good reason. This place is a true diamond and likely to explode on the backpacking scene as people continue to venture further east on their journeys. Start off in the village of Stepantsminda and then the region is your oyster. Treks around the area offer surprises around every turn, whether it's another glacier or a small mountain village where the locals invite you to join them for tea. Watch your step though, because you might come across Darial Gorge which is soon to house the 2nd largest monastery in Georgia and there'll be some steep drops!
Whatever you choose to take in, Kazbegi will blow your mind and is worth continuing the journey east a little further!
Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic
Many people visit the Czech Republic to see its capital, Prague. But if you leave Prague and head straight across the border then you're missing a trick. Cesky Krumlov is a truly breathtaking place that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best. The town itself is stunning; bohemian architecture, red tiled rooftops and cascading mountains. The picture postcard surroundings are reason enough to make the trip and spend a few days taking in the country air. But there's more to it than that. This is a mecca for the adventure sports traveller. Most of it is water based, with white water rafting top of many people's list as they endeavour to meander through the Sumava National Park, getting their adrenaline pumping along the way.
Whatever you're looking for from your Eastern European experience, Cesky Krumlov will deliver it in spades. Adventure, architecture and stunning surroundings; one not to be missed!
The Ultimate Jungle Destination: La Mosquitia, Honduras
Top Backpacking Destinations Ranking: 9.5/10
Of all the places i have ever visited on backpacking trips, La Mosquitia is the the most remote I have ever been. And by a long way too. And that's not to say i've spent most of my travels in cities partying my heart out. Patagonia, the trek across Peruvian mountains to Machu Picchu, driving through American deserts; these all pale into remote insignificance when you're in a cayuco paddling down a river in the Honduran jungle.
La Mosquitia takes up nearly the entire eastern half of Honduras and remains undeveloped and sparsely populated. To get there requires a bi-plane which will only squeeze 20 people in at a push. And don't look down when you come in to land – all you'll see is a strip of grass in amongst the trees, likely with a few kids running around chasing a ball. This is no Heathrow.
From there you find yourself a captain with a cayuco; long, motorised dugout canoes which the locals use to get around. If you want to get further into the area then this is the only way around. No roads, no cars, no other options. Then it's time to get comfy as the distances between riverside villages are pretty big. This is where the adventure starts to get rewarding though as you realise how far you are from civilisation. Technology goes out the window and you're back to nature with a bang.
I spent 4 days travelling by boat around the area with our captain, going deep into the jungle and staying in various communities who welcomed us with open arms. I was as intriguing to them as they were to me. Fascinating experiences were abound, whether it was hopping in the boat at nightfall and paddling out to search for crocodiles (terrifying but amazing!) or discovering a tree that, when chopped, dripped pure drinking water. Tasty it was too! Wildlife was everywhere and surprises like ancient petroglyphs were hiding around every corner.
But the most satisfying times were those spent in our cayuco, cruising through the jungle with nothing to do but take in the surroundings. Stunning jungle, wonderful sounds and no hint of another human being for miles around. For any backpacker looking to truly get off the beaten track, La Mosquitia is the real deal.

Ashley Fitzpatrick - Of Rock & Sea Fishing for the future - So I've put together a little series on the fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing for the Future. Of course "the fishery" is not a single fishery. And all of the challenges and complexities from readings and interviews can hardly be summed up in just a few stories. What has been presented, however, is a one-stop start for conversations, focused on the wild fisheries. It's a hitting of the highlights, providing thoughts from industry players and those tied to their work on what they think about, when they consider their future today. Concerns include uncertainties associated with climate change; "regime shift" with a loss of shellfish and a rise in codfish; expected acute pains from impending cuts to shrimp quotas and what it means for communities; a need for capital investments to remain competitive, despite a stated limited ability to do so; all while juggling long-predicted labour troubles and ongoing rationalization. The stories began to germinate when I covered the official presentation of the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement in Newfoundland and Labrador and had some interesting conversations. I began to set aside names, links, books, tidbits of information where there was any talk of the future of the provincial fishery. I connected with reporters who have a great depth of knowledge, by comparison, and hoarded documentation. I dug files from the Legislative Library at Confederation Building. I started on extended interviews on the high-level subject matter. Colleagues around the province were tapped to reach out to individuals within their area, to hear what they had to… December 23, 2014
Jackie McCann-Scott - Invested Mama I Did It My Way - As the eldest and only daughter of a single parent Mother, I was raised to be self-sufficient. Even when it came to choosing my life partner, Mom's advice: "Be with him because you want to be, not because you have to be." She pushed me to get a good education and to earn my own income. She taught me to be resourceful and instilled into my very being the mantra, "If it is to be, it's up to me." Not surprising that I became an entrepreneur. And while I love being in charge of my own destiny, I am keenly aware that I am flying without a net. Especially when it comes to my retirement. No employer is contributing to my pension plan. There is no corporation matching my RRSP contribution each year. When I pay into CPP each year, I do it twice: once as the employee and once as the employer (btw, this is definitely my least favourite part of being my own boss). I don't receive a pension statement each year that teases me with its "Earliest" and "Normal" retirement dates. When it's time to wind this baby up, how financially ready I will be, is truly up to me. But here's the thing. It's up to all of us. Even if you are among the lucky few Canadians that still have a Defined Benefit Pension Plan – you know the ones that put all the risk on the employer and guarantee you a paycheck in retirement as long as you punch… January 26, 2015
Telegram Photographers - Worth a thousand words High Flying News by Keith Gosse - Imagine being able to get a new perspective on our world by being able to get a birds-eye view of everyday scenes. Well that's easier than ever now as small camera drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become more accessible and easier to operate. As most of our readers are probably already aware, The Telegram has acquired a small camera drone in an effort to keep up with this evolving technology in the news gathering business. These UAVs used to be more expensive and harder to come by, but are now smaller, cheaper and easier to use than ever. Anyone can go to their local hobby store and buy one for just a few hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars. Some models simply carry a camera while others have first person view (FPV) systems. The Telegram's UAV operates on a line of sight basis meaning we have to keep the drone in sight at all times and we don't have a live downlink so we don't know what footage we have until we look at the video later. First person view, on the other hand, provides a live view of what the drone-mounted camera sees, giving the operator a better idea of what he/she is recording. FPV is more valuable since the batteries on these drones can only keep it powered for a certain amount of time before needing to be switched with a fresh one. While anyone with a UAV can operate recreationally with few restrictions, commercial users such as The Telegram… 1 June 26, 2014
James McLeod - Briefing Note Bill 42: An academic argument - For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, here's the a letter that's being circulated regarding Bill 42. It's a formidable list of names — two more names than the Tories collected on their petitions last week! I'm told by MUN Prof. Kelly Blidook that the folks who drafted the letter are still collecting a few more signatures from academics before the letter gets sent to members of the House of Assembly later this week. That being said, I'm told that they're trying to keep this non-partisan and the voice of a group of academics, as opposed to a petition, so they'd just as soon not receive a flood of unsolicited emails. The authors would also like to note that the overwhelming majority of the signatories are MUN profs, and the ones who aren't have some sort of Newfoundland and Labrador connection. Anyway, here's the letter: January 25, 2015 Dear Members House of Assembly Newfoundland and Labrador PO Box 8700 St. John's, NL A1B 4J6 We the undersigned would like to express our extreme disappointment at the manner in which Bill 42, An Act to Amend the Electoral Boundaries Act (2015), has been hurriedly pushed through the House of Assembly. While improvements to the democratic governance of the province are desirable, and Members' attention to this issue is valuable, the changes contained in Bill 42 only further undermine the effectiveness of the House of Assembly. As an institution, the House is intended to act as representative of the citizens of… 1 January 26, 2015
Geoff Meeker - Geoff Meeker (Meeker on Media) Blog Make It Stop - A shocking, stupid and offensive new trend is blighting the world of broadcast journalism. It affects mainly female reporters, who are doing their live "stand ups" when some jerk moves into the frame and yells a totally obscene phrase. It is always the same five words – "f*** her right in the p****y" – and has come to be known in the business as FHRITP. According to this story from CBC in Montreal, the stunt had its beginnings in January of 2014, when Internet prankster John Cain produced videos with the offensive phrase edited in as an overdub. But then, people – primarily men – began yelling the phrase at journalists – primarly female – during their reporting. In the above link, two Montreal journalists explain why they are angry about the phenomenon. Late in November, a local reporter was subjected to the same stupid stunt. Chris O'Neill-Yates was doing her stand-up on Hamilton Avenue when a car pulled up and a young man yelled the offending phrase out the window. O'Neill-Yates was upset by the incident and gave vent to her feelings in a commentary, which is posted at the CBC NL site and well worth your time, if you haven't read it. "I was completely taken aback," she writes. "Like many women, we automatically revert to the default position and ask ourselves: 'What did I do wrong?' But I knew I had done nothing wrong. The experience made me sick, and then it made me angry." Just recently, I watched a YouTube video… 1 December 05, 2014

The video you see here is, if we're being honest, one of the best catches of recent vintage. We're going to see it again and again all season long because it is really quite amazing. My keyboard doesn't have the correct characters to express the sound I made as I watched the play unfold live in the newsroom.
Seeing it over and over is certainly not a bad thing, but it is the number one reason we might as well award Adam Jones the Gold Glove right here and now.
That catch is one which lives long in the memory, as previously stated. Unfortunately, memory is all the Gold Glove voters go by. Never mind Jones lags in all the advanced defensive stats both this season and historically, he made a great catch!
To further bolster his Gold Glove case, Jones went out and made another highlight reel catch against the A's last night. He added some bonus swagger to sway the voters, oozing nonchalance by blowing bubbles while tracking a deep drive.
"No biggie, just blowing bubbles as I range to the track to steal extra bases from Coco Crisp. Move along folks, nothing to see here."
Got it! Is it my turn to hit now? I feel due for my annual base on balls!

Sign of the Times
At last night's Golden Globe Awards, the hot topic on the red carpet was the cold snap in L.A.: Temps had dropped to 37 degrees. But not one of the nominees (and no other celebrity we could find) wore fur. Hollywood has had quite the animal-friendly makeover over the past generation with PETA on the scene!
The majority of fur today comes from fur farms, where animals slowly go insane from the intense confinement. Many animals on fur farms circle frantically in their cages, a sign of severe psychological stress.

Not only was the glitzy event fur-free, it also showcased a few of today's most vibrant vegans! Jessica Chastain—PETA's reigning Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity—and previous champ Anne Hathaway nabbed the top actress awards.

Fight Club
By Mark Simpson
'STOP LOOKING LADIES!' some guy in the audience shouts. It's the weigh-in, a day earlier. Ed 'Short Fuse' Herman, another 20-something boy-next-door redheaded fighter, from Vancouver, Wash., is naked on the stage under the spotlight, a towel held up by two lieutenants to shield his 'short fuse.' Funnily enough, it's mostly men rather than ladies doing the looking here in this packed auditorium. Though some are perhaps doing more looking than others: From where I'm seated at the side, I manage to catch a glimpse of Ed's white butt as he bends over to slip off his briefs (a day later he will fight in shorts cheekily advertising CONDOM DEPOT -- on his butt).
Several guys have had to take their underpants off -- to cheers. I can't help but wonder whether the UFC officials, for showbiz's sake, pretend some of these guys are closer to the weight limit than they are.
UFC knows all about showbiz. According to Forbes magazine, its pay-per-view shows have drawn well over 2 million viewers, most of them male and ages 18 to 49. Formidably shrewd, motor-mouthed former boxing promoter Dana White hosts The Ultimate Fighter, UFC's hit PPV series on Spike (a men-only Big Brother with grappling gloves), which has taken MMA, essentially a semi-organized barroom brawl in the '90s, cleaned it up, introduced some rules -- including no stomping, no spitting, no throat strikes, no punches to the back of the head, and 'no groin attacks of any kind' -- and made it into a hot, multiangle, high-impact PPV commodity.
Described memorably by John McCain in 1998 as 'human cockfighting,' and under threat of a total ban, MMA has become a different, more saleable, less relentlessly violent kind of 'cockfighting' in the nurturing hands of the UFC -- so much so that McCain himself recently relented: 'The sport has grown up.' As a measure of just how grown up, UFC -- for which casino owners the Fertitta brothers paid $2 million in 2001 -- is today valued at roughly $1 billion. Cultural respectability has arrived too in the form of a recently published $2,500 MMA art book titled Octagon with a foreword by man-loving straight playwright David Mamet, who wrote and directed the MMA-themed movie
Redbelt. MMA is also coming to major-network TV: CBS recently announced plans to air four MMA fights (non-UFC) annually -- despite the disapproval of CBS chairman Sumner Redstone. 'I'm a lover, not a fighter,' he said.
There is a lot of passionate hero worship in the world of MMA, not so much homoerotic as hero-erotic -- or herotic. Straight male fans and fighters themselves will enthuse with shining eyes about 'my idol,' but perhaps that's not so surprising, since MMA owes a lot to those notorious warrior homos, the ancient Greeks. Although today's MMA came to us via Brazilian jujitsu (alas, not conducted in Speedos, as the name may suggest), many consider it the modern version of pancratium (also spelled pankration), a combination of boxing and wrestling that was the basis of combat training for Greek soldiers and an original Olympic sport. With lethal purity, pancratium had two primary rules: no eye-gouging or biting. Fingers were often snapped off. Sometimes death or unconsciousness was the only form of submission -- in other words, rather like this year's Democratic primaries.
MMA's younger fans are not likely to acknowledge their sport's homoerotic heritage. For most of these young men, many of them blue-collar and swooningly in love with masculinity, gay means unmanly and passive -- and therefore major turnoff. MMA is gay porn for straight men because its violence not only justifies the intimate, protracted, eye-popping physicality of the sport but also preserves its virility -- the very thing that gets many of its fans hot. These fighters can't be fags -- look how fucking tough they are, dude! It's a bit like how in gay porn 'real' tops never bottom -- for the sake of the bottoms watching.
Sometimes the MMA fighter really is homo -- like professional MMA fighter Shad Smith, who was recently profiled in The New York Times. From a tough blue-collar background, Smith was desperate to hide his sexuality at first. 'I was petrified because I didn't want anyone to find out,' he told the Times. 'And I would try to be the toughest person around. That way no one would suspect. No one would ever say it. No one would think it.' Doubtless there are quite a few Shad Smiths who became very good, very determined, very motivated scrappers because they weren't escaping to college or opening a hairdressing salon.
The tough-guy image is something of an illusion -- if an entrancing and convincing one. Surprisingly often, fighters turn out to be sensitive, introspective loners -- 'fags' who aren't actually fags -- such as Mac Danzig, the beefy auburn-haired killer who is in fact a vegan and whose main pastime, when he isn't turning another lad's face into tenderloin, is nature photography. That's the story of Georges St.-Pierre, who when stripped of his title pendants and clad in designer clothes looks rather metro. As one observer put it: 'He's the kind of flash Europunk you might think you could wipe the floor with if you came across him in a bar, but you'd be very, very wrong.'
You might expect a fight between Serra and St.-Pierre to be billed as good ol' USA versus Frenchy 'fag,' but you'd be wrong. Because GSP -- to give St.-Pierre his brand name -- is generally considered to be an exceptional fighter, genuinely excellent in several disciplines, or maybe because it's such a visual medium, he has begun to look like the David Beckham of UFC, albeit one who actually reads books and is interested in philosophy. His photogenic face and body and his workouts have been splashed across countless health and fitness magazines.
His opponent, Matt Serra, may be breezily unpretentious and resemble an unpainted fire hydrant, but he is definitely no idiot: 'I think they look at Georges as the Crest poster boy with the sparkle in his teeth, the looks, the physique, the body and the athleticism'the real version of what Van Damme was doing,' he's said. 'And then comes me -- the Joe Pesci'style 'Heyooo!' But it's cool, man. I'm down with it. I fit in those shoes real well. I'm just looking forward to having another good fight.'
When he turns up for his weigh-in, a relentless tidal wave of boos greets him. An Italian-American pocket battleship at 5 foot 6, Serra weighs in at 169.5 pounds; he appears indifferent to the roiling sea of audience hatred. The booing doesn't stop when the host offers him the microphone, and whatever he says is completely drowned out. He offers the crowd two fingers, meaning 'two times' and V for victory -- and perhaps 'fuck you.'
Ecstatic cheers greet his challenger St.-Pierre, who's taller by four inches but in stature by several feet. St.-Pierre fluidly strips down to his tasteful black underwear and also weighs in at 169.5 pounds. Offered the mike, he graciously tells the crowd they shouldn't hate Serra and that 'I don't fight with anger -- I fight with my heart.' The two men pose for the cameras in a fighting stance and then they hug, GSP kissing Serra's huge neck.
There was no trash talk in the quieter surroundings of the press conference the day before. The fighters had been polite, respectful, even friendly. 'C'mon, I've got nothing against the French,' protested Serra when the journalists dug up some 'Frenchy' quotes from the past. St.-Pierre, for his part, was touchingly open. 'I'm nervous and scared to fail but that's normal,' he admitted. 'I have butterflies. but I have to make the butterflies fly in formation.'

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Officials tell KSBY News they are investigating a bank robbery in Goleta.
It happened at a Rabobank on Calle Real around 10:45 a.m.
Deputies say the robber is described as a heavy-set man who was wearing a tan mask with holes cut out for his eyes. He had black gloves.
Officials say the man walked into the bank with the mask on and had a handgun. He then ran out a side door with undisclosed amount of money.
There were three customers inside at the time, but no one was hurt.
The robber is still on the loose.

Could you explain a little bit more? Which Tutorial are you following for Gentoo Installation? Gentoo LiveCD installation is a bit buggy and hasn't work for me yet.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

If Halloween is OK for Jewish children, what about those who say that Christmas isn't really a religious celebration in mainstream America?
Should Jewish children partake in Halloween? Isn't it a Christian or pagan holiday?
What's up with the Jewish holidays this year? Chanukah on Thanksgiving? And how do you explain the wacky Jewish calendar to non-Jewish friends?

Kenney and Immigration: slamming the door shut on Roma gypsies… shame on Canada
I've never thought much of Immigration Minister Jason Kenney and his curry in a hurry ethnic vote grab – but his overhaul of our refugee laws to block Roma gypsies places him even lower – under new rules, he could unilaterally decide over a plate of tandoori chicken that countries such as Hungary or the Czech Republic are safe countries from where no refugees will be accepted – most of the Roma refugees have fled to Canada from Hungary which has no Canadian visa requirement – in Hungary, as in other parts of East Europe, the Roma are second class citizens, openly discriminated against, beaten by right wing thugs, randomly stopped by police, their children harassed in schools, as documented by well known papers such as The Guardian – even in Italian cities such as Milan they live in a gated colony – to leave it they must produce their identity card, explain where they are going and for how long – the Roma's I am talking about migrated from India more than a thousand years ago, were discriminated against from day one and then faced a genocide mounted by Hitler where hundreds of thousands of them were slaughtered? – instead of taking his cues from human rights groups, Kenney glibly says that all they want to come here for is a welfare cheque – even a light-weight like Madonna risked booing at a concert in Romania for pleading about the Roma – what on earth is happening to the kinder and gentler Canada? – are we becoming like this blogger with a Hungarian name who wrote: Allowing gypsies to come to Canada is very unwise. Gypsy culture is criminal activity — think about it, I'm Zuhair Kashmeri.

OMNI-TV File (October): Pakistan, its ISI and America…; Kashmir – the politics of slaughter and mass graves…
Kashmir and DNA testing — dissappearances, mass graves and the politics of slaughter
Imagine reading on the front page of your favourite newspaper or watching on your favourite TV newscast that thousands of bodies have been discovered in mass graves in a country – the result of extrajudicial killings – imagine the hue and cry in the Canadian Parliament – imagine the outrage and condemnation – headlines would continue for days – well, we did live through a similar scenario just recently – Omar Abdullah, the chief minister of the Indian state of Kashmir, announced that DNA testing will be carried out on hundreds of bodies found in mass graves – human rights activists say thousands of people, suspected by Indian security forces of either being militants or having links to such groups demanding independence for India's Muslim majority state of Kashmir, were summarily detained and killed – Across the valley, more than 8000 relatives live in enduring uncertainty, hoping that missing relatives may one day come home alive – while on the one hand, this DNA testing decision is a testament to India's democracy, on the other hand this democratic response has been rather slow and reluctant and condemnation from the champions of democracy in the western world non-existent – the disappearances have been documented for years in well-known magazines and in books such as Pankaj Mishra's Temptations of the West – Booker prize-winning author Arundhati Roy never stops talking about the disappearances of Kashmir's young men – but don't expect a hue and cry in Ottawa – after all, these are all just Muslims, and these days Muslims are fair game for drone attacks and extra-judicial killings, or simply because they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time – Think about it, I'm Zuhair Kashmeri but with no connection to that troubled state.
Pakistan, its ISI and America: is there some mischief afoot?
Once again, Pakistan's spy agency, the ISI, is in a spotlight of infamy – it has been accused by one of the highest-ranking American military officers, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, of organizing two of the deadliest bombings in Afghanistan – in mid-September, a NATO outpost south of Kabul was truck bombed, killing five people and wounding 77 foreign troops, plus an armed assault on the US Embassy left 16 Afghan police officers and civilians dead – the admiral told a Senate armed services committee open quote with ISI support, Haqqani operatives planned and conducted that truck bomb attack, as well as the assault on our embassy end of quote – Mullen said the Haqqani group is an arm of the ISI – US intelligence says it also was able to determine through cell phone wiretaps that the ISI was behind the 2008 bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul which left several dead – the story played out in the media for two days and then simply vanished – but if you reflect on it, this is a very serious charge against a country, Pakistan, which I have said time and again is a totally failed state that should never have been created in the first place – for lesser accusations than this, people have been hauled in as war criminals and put to trial – is the head of the ISI, Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, going to be extradited to face charges of war crimes and murder? – Of course not – but it does lay a media manipulation groundwork for America to undertake its unfettered extrajudicial killings outside of any international law that it imposes on other countries –Think about it, I'm Zuhair Kashmeri.
9/11: The algebra of infinite justice by Arundhati Roy
As the US prepares to wage a new kind of war, Arundhati Roy challenges the instinct for vengeance
Arundhati Roy
The Guardian, Saturday 29 September 2001
In the aftermath of the unconscionable September 11 suicide attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Centre, an American newscaster said: "Good and evil rarely manifest themselves as clearly as they did last Tuesday. People who we don't know massacred people who we do. And they did so with contemptuous glee." Then he broke down and wept.

9/11: the tenth anniversary — what did we learn? ZILCH…
As we mark the 10th anniversary of the horrific tragedy known as 9/11, have we learned anything from this? – other than clichéd headlines: in the shadow of ground zero, hallowed ground, confronting Islamic jihad, America's real war – heart rending tales of victims and families – TV shows about a tragedy that changed the world forever – a theme that allowed the US to invade Afghanistan and radicalize a Muslim world already convinced that America and its NATO allies were out to destroy Islam – to invade Iraq on falsified information and commit horrific war crimes – to continue using its drones to kill people it identifies as al-Qaida terrorists and with them, hundreds of innocent Muslims who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time – 3000 people died in 9/11, but when did you last read about how many have died in Iraq? – According to Information Clearinghouse, a news aggregator, almost one and a half million Iraqi men, women and children have been killed – and then there is the theme about the 19 terrorists behind nine eleven driven by a crazed Islamic ideology which needs to be fought worldwide – but can we simply write off nine eleven as the work of crazy Muslims who hated everything Western? – immediately after nine eleven, Sunera Thobani, a women's studies professor at the University of British Columbia, said that the motive may well lie in US foreign policy – her quote from Chile to El Salvador to Nicaragua to Iraq, the path of U.S. foreign-policy is soaked in blood – and let's not forget the biggest issue that nobody brings up: America's – and Canada's – biased support of Israel in the Palestinian struggle for a homeland – Think about it, I'm Zuhair Kashmeri.

15 Minutes of Fame: Proudmoore guild plays out GLBT pride {WoW}
Oct 22nd 2008 1:02AM Nomad is a prime example of what is wrong with our world today. He lets someone else him what to think and if he is religious( which there is nothing wrong with that) he takes his religion a bit to serious and misinterpreted what he hears or reads. Why does it matter what someones sexual preference is. If God or whoever you believe in made all people in His/Her image then he/her love all there childern. If being G, L, B, T is SO wrong then why didnt God or whoever smite then immedialty when they where born? Whatever your sexual preference is you cant help it, you are born with that. Im fairly confident someone like Nomad is also apossed to gay marriage rights as well. G, L, B, T are people just like you and me and deserve the same rights we do. The people that think being G, L, B, T is wrong you need to seriously re-evalute the way that you think or just keep you dambass opinion to yourself.
Scattered Shots: What we didn't get {WoW}
Oct 10th 2008 1:36AM I think that Camouflage should have been a core machanic for hunters when WoW first came out. It makes sence to me because hunters should be able to blend in with there surroundings, they stalk beasts. I can understand though why Blizzard decided to take it away, in my opinion i dont think druids should have stealth and the hunters should have gotten it.

The Daily Grind: Which MMO doesn't get the respect it deserves? {Massively}
Apr 4th 2012 12:53AM @Zyrusticae
"Bottom-of-the-barrel players aside, there is almost nothing else quite like EVE on the market."
Yes. And searing-hot magma aside, there is nothing quite like living in an active volcano.
Honestly though, playing EVE is a lot more like living at the bottom of the ocean:
It sounds a lot cooler than it actually turns out to be. There's not as much freedom as you thought there'd be, the environment is isolated and hostile, and if you do leave the (relative) safety of a regulated, boring and highly restrictive safe zone, you will require expensive, time-consuming-to-install safety equipment to survive the high-pressure crush depth. Even then, there's still no garauntee you won't get horribly fucked up by some random deep-sea abomination.

The Daily Grind: What game would you play were it not for the community? {Massively}
Mar 29th 2012 3:46AM I'd just like to suggest something to open-minded apologists who are genuinely confused as to how they get such a bad rap when they truly believe the community is more good than bad:
You =might= have more good players/community members than bad (and I genuinely don't believe that, but it's an olive branch), but your bad players have a much, much, much larger impact - and the power of their negativity is much greater than the power of everyone else's generosity and goodwill.
You might not want to believe it, but this isn't about your perception.
It's about the perception of millions of MMO players who don't play EVE.
It's the perception of the folks who try the free trial and do not subscribe.
It's the perception of the folks who do sub, try it for months before hitting that unsubscribe button forever.
It's the perception of those who hopefully resubscribe every time there's a free account reactivation, play for a couple weeks, realize that even though the UI's different, the graphics are prettier, there are new exploration/mining mechanics, at its heart =nothing's changed=, then don't log in for the rest of their free time.
The Daily Grind: What game would you play were it not for the community? {Massively}

EVE Online's The Mittani issues formal apology for crossing the line [UPDATED] {Massively}
Mar 27th 2012 3:51AM @TitusGroan
Alright. I'll cop to some vitriol, there. Every demographic has its outliers... just like there are probably innocent men in prison. But not as many as claim to be.
This isn't a '30 day free trial' impression we're talking about, here. I was there a few years. I've seen the forums and the behaviour of pilots first-hand.
If I were to be saintly tolerant and charitable beyond reason, I would say this:
EVE is a game about kicking down sand-castles, which laughs unapologetically at people who think it is a game about building sandcastles.
The ugly truth?
EVE could be made more PVE than it is, in an attempt to draw a wider audience, but it'd never work. People might cite the challenge of facing off against another player, compared to a computer, but this is self-delusion. AI can be programmed with any number of responses to completely outclass even 'good' players. It's NOT challenge the players crave... it's the knowledge of having beaten another person. And with the prevalance of newbie-curbstomping and completely out-matched battles, it's not even the knowledge of a worthy foe defeated that appeals... it's the knowledge of having ruined someone's day.
Sadistic and sociopathic is the rule, not the exception.
EVE Online's The Mittani issues formal apology for crossing the line [UPDATED] {Massively}
Mar 27th 2012 3:11AM What's more disgusting to me, having read the apology, is the chorus of salutes and cheers and 'we love you!' cries from the rest of the playerbase.
Guy acts like a complete asshole and apologises for it?
Not that I'm surprised. Spreadsheets Online: Sociopaths in Space. It's a moral vaccum, basically 4chan with space-ships. Its primary purpose should be to tie up all the detritus of MMO-playing Internet into one condensed wasteland, the hell away from the games played by decent human beings.
Seriously. People need to be saying, "Good. Don't do it again. And maybe think about your life a bit and what made you have those thoughts in the first place." Not: "We love you don't step down as chairman!"
Alcohol does not turn you into some Mr. Hyde monster with a completely different personality. All it does is loosen your inhibitions. That sociopathic, sadistic behaviour IS still there under the surface, and gaming is merely the outlet for it.
Guy needs psychiatric help, not pats on the back.
The Guild Counsel: How to break into raiding {Massively}
Feb 16th 2012 6:56PM @Excelsior34
This is probably the most important part for a casual guild heading in to raiding: doing what you say you're going to do, and if you can't (because shit happens to everyone) LETTING PEOPLE KNOW IN ADVANCE. Otherwise you are ruining 7-9 other peoples' night.
The reason this is so important is because unless your raid dramatically overpowers the content, every man is vital. And finding someone to replace a regular guildie is not always an easy task. Some might not be at level, some might be leaving in 2hrs and unable to commit to the likely 3hrs it'll take, others may not be the right role, and you really don't need four healers...
It forces your guildies to make a decision between calling the ENTIRE thing off because one person didn't show, or going out and looking for a PUG to fill the slot, which carries its own hazards. They may not be any good, might not know the content, might be uber-leet-pro and simply bail on you all in disgust after your first couple wipes, causing you to start again. Many public folks may already be locked out of doing that particular raid because they've already done it with another group, etc, etc, etc. It can take another half-hour of uncertainty, finally ending in calling off the raid, when your guildies quite possibly put other RL events off to the side just to participate in this non-event.
Show a little consideration. Tell people when you aren't going to be there.
The Daily Grind: Are tiny races persecuted? {Massively}
Aug 31st 2011 12:57AM For me the revulsion of the tiny races comes from the deep, gouging wounds they inflict upon my suspension of disbelief.
Magic? Sure. Demons? Obviously. Fractured worlds of floating debris that somehow manage to maintain the standard gravity of a whole mass? Why not.
...But a gnome tanking some giant dragon with more resilence than their over-sized and over-muscled companions? Where has reason fled too? Surely the kind of blow that would break every bone in a Tauren body would leave an equally-statted/armoured gnome as nothing more than a smear on the ground.
How many 'little people' do you see winning MMA tournaments? Giving these diminutive characters the potential for equal or greater strength is an (irrational and nonsensical) insult to the larger race's physical prowess. Make them smarter, mages/priests/whatever, sure... But gnome warriors are an exercise in breaking your brain.
Hyperspace Beacon: More nuna bites {Massively}
Aug 31st 2011 12:30AM @uberman3000
I'm confused. Why would little Timmy not understand why his Jedi is kissing a boy, but understand perfectly why his Jedi is kissing a girl? It's the same reason, after all, and each option as acceptable as the other. NOT letting kids see normal, healthy relationships of all kinds is what confused them later in life and makes them bigoted, because they don't think anything outside of their experience is normal.

Mar is àbhaist, nochdaidh cuid de phrìomh luchd-ciùil na Gàidhlig, agus am measg na chluinnear bidh Caitlin NicAonghais; Art MacCarmaig; Magaidh Dhòmhnallach; Pòl MacCalum; Canntaireachd; agus an Còmhlan Cèilidh Monach Isles. "Leis na cuirmean seo a' tàladh luchd-èisteachd far feadh Alba 's fhiach tiogaidean a chur air dòigh cho luath 's a ghabhas", arsa Cathraiche a' Chomuinn, Ailean Caimbeul. "Seasons and moods", the 2010 theme for the Gaelic Society of Inverness concert at Eden Court's Empire Theatre on Friday 12 March 2010, will present a Gaelic music and song perspective of the seasons. Featuring leading Gaelic performers, and with a focus on youth, these themed events have become increasingly popular Gaelic celebrations with simultaneous interpretive Power Point presentation by Cailean MacLean. The 2010 programme will include Kathleen MacInnes; Arthur Cormack; Maggie MacDonald; Paul MacCallum; Canntaireachd; and the Monach Isles Ceilidh Band. ""Book early to avoid disappointment" may be a cliché, but with this kind of line-up we expect a full-house!" says Society Chairman Allan Campbell. |

It was wonderful to hear different styles of singing from each performer and the audience enjoyed hearing songs such as "Allt an t-Siùcar", "Ceud fàilt' air gach gleann" and many more which all fitted in with the "Seasons and Moods" theme. The excellent Monach Isles Ceilidh Band, led by Michael Macmillan, played rousing jigs and reels to get the audience in the celidh spirit, along with some lovely lilting waltzes. It was great to see so many youngsters singing with "Canntaireachd" – the youth choral group led by Eilidh Mackenzie. They sang beautifully and again were very popular with the audience. We were priviliged to have with us the Society's Honorary Piper, Dr Angus MacDonald, who opened the show and played again in the second half. Brigadier Iain MacPhàrlain, the Society Chief for the coming year, delivered a short speech before the concert closed with performers and audience singing together the songs "Cànan nan Gàidheal" and "Soraidh leibh is oidhche mhath leibh". A powerpoint was displayed above the stage with a running translation between performances and each song was accompanied by landscape photographs by Cailean MacLean. The stunning photographs perfectly complemented each different song. Allan Campbell, Chairperson of the Society, did an expert job as Fear an Taighe. Many thanks to the wonderful singers and musicians for making it a great night - mòran taing. |

It was growing increasingly difficult to separate Alex Rodriguez's arbitration hearing from the media's portrayal of Alex Rodriguez's arbitration hearing. With A-Rod supporters surprisingly congregated outside of court rooms — holding suspiciously similarly styled signs — and MLB executives appearing on late-night talk-shows, it seemed that no one was more aware of this than the participants.
Then, on Wednesday afternoon, the New York Yankees third baseman (for the time being at least) stormed out of his hearing when the arbitrator (who is somehow both independent and selected by Major League Baseball) refused to require Commissioner Bud Selig to testify. From there, Rodriguez made his way to WFAN studios in New York where he spoke with Mike Francesa live on air, and further bound the actual arbitration process to the reporting of the proceeding.
Hot takes flooded social media timelines with otherwise respectable journalists claiming that Alex Rodriguez "lies pretty much all the time," or that A-Rod's name could be substituted for Lance Armstrong's and not much else would have to change for accuracy to be maintained.
In columns on websites across the country, descriptions of Rodriguez leaving the hearing were filled with words like tantrum and hissy-fit, while his skills at public relations became a place holding target of scorn for those eager to judge. On Thursday morning, we even heard Peter Gammons compare the player to the Boston Marathon bombers.
The reaction is bothersome. It's not so much that we should all believe Rodriguez when he told Francesa that he hasn't used performance enhancing drugs since he played in Texas, or that he hadn't obstructed any witnesses, or that he didn't send a signed baseball up into the stands to pick up a couple of women during a playoff game. It isn't even the overwhelming arbitrariness with which the use of certain substances have historically been punished – not just in terms of suspension, but also public perception. What's bothersome was that those expressing the most perturbed opinions over Rodgriguez's actions were journalists.
There was an almost tangible provocation of outrage from writers and reporters seemingly bent on portraying A-Rod as a misfit to the public. When he conveyed a salient point in his interview on WFAN, it was "obviously rehearsed." When he sounded like a human being, and not the archfiend of all that was good and fair, it was a "softball question from Francesa." By the way, I'd be very interested to learn what questions the critics would've asked that Francesa — whose jocular manner with Rodriguez perfectly camouflaged his purposeful inquiry — failed to broach.
It's amazing that the same reporters who find it so easy to believe that Rodriguez has no defense against MLB's allegations fail to consider that the commissioner of baseball, who serves at the behest of the owners, might have an axe to grind with the player who has cost his empowerment more than any other in terms of both straight salary and salary escalation.
I almost wish there was proof these journalists were merely placating their benefactors in baseball, like ESPN opting out of the League Of Denial documentary to soothe the worried fever of the NFL. At least then, their intellectual dishonesty could be rewarded in some sense. Unfortunately, there's little evidence to suggest a conspiracy, and more intimations that the stance against A-Rod is rooted in groupthink from a cowardly crew.
The anti-Rodriguez sentiment is especially shocking when we consider that the soap box standers are the very same who are typically so apprehensive about expressing opinion. These are the reporters who grab quotes from players and management, and consistently take them at face value while maintaining their supposed objectivity.
They implore us to forget about the propaganda model and that cultural theory course we took in first year, and imagine human beings to have some sort of objective/subjective switch. The notion is ridiculous, and it's been taken to its ugly extreme in the case of Rodriguez, where those covering the hearing wish to cling to their security blanket of objectivity while blatantly jumping into a pool of personal preference and opinion. The result is a wet blanket of little use to anyone.
I'm not suggesting that we should all join #TeamARod, and stick it to the man. In a battle between millionaires and billionaires, it's difficult to classify one party as being especially afflicted. And even if you want to rally against the more comfortable of the two, it remains easy to question whether Rodriguez's exit from the hearing on Wednesday wasn't potentially motivated by avoiding questions under oath.
Taking sides isn't the point. Misunderstanding is. Subjective takes from those claiming objectivity have a funny way of being mistaken for the truth. However, there's validity to Rodriguez's claims. Has anyone offered a viable explanation as to why he should be suspended for 211 games by Major League Baseball?
Don't let your hatred of a player or person push you toward believing only what you want to about them. You're better than baseball writers. You can separate the case from the media's portrayal.

I was thinking about character development and adaptation because I was once again hit with the realization that somehow the four Winnie the Pooh characters Disney decides to merchandize are Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. (These thoughts could probably apply to dozens of characters that span different media incarnations, but I found it an interesting thought exercise.)
Pooh, Piglet and Tigger make perfect sense. Obviously Pooh is the main character, and has most of the "heart" in the films. Piglet is the cute bestest friend, and Tigger has energy and enthusiasm.
But how is Eeyore attractive enough to make the cut? I notice that Disney tries quite a bit to make him cute. He smiles a lot on kids' decorative products. And there are butterflies? Where in the world does that come from?
I, like probably most people my age, first knew about Pooh through the shorts from the '60s and '70s (and/or the movie, read-along tapes, books, etc. made from them). Later in grade school I pretty quickly became a fan of the Milne books, and the older I get the funnier they seem.
Milne's Eeyore isn't cute at all. His predominant characteristic seems to be that he's passive-aggressive. It's funny because he's surrounded by people who are unable to pick up on nuance and sarcasm. His basic interaction with everyone is in the context that he may well be the smartest person in the Wood (which isn't saying much) surrounded by comparative morons (which is saying quite a great deal).
So now in the late '60s, how do you make that attractive in your film? Well, first of all you make him a more secondary character. Also, you can't really get away from the grumpy, but you can take away his opportunities for out-and-out snark.
At this point, you've made a significant change to the character. But I feel like it was a pretty good decision. I think Disney has a pretty good reputation for changing source material in ways that potentially result in better films. The increased cuteness allows the audience, rather than the other characters, to cotton on to their folly and foibles, which I think ultimately serves the pictures better. In my opinion, it was a good-faith change with some pretty practical storytelling motivation.
And here is where I think you get Eeyore as an initial candidate for merchandise. Once the whole production is less snarky, Eeyore , by the benefit of the doubt, looks friendlier than Rabbit (with his fastidiousness and spoilsport protection of his property from rampant destruction) or Owl (who's too distractable by his own mind to really interact with anyone). The Disney Eeyore may be sad all the time, but he's engaged in what's going on when he's present, and he's not directly involved in any of the conflict (which is Rabbit's job). I suppose there's also a practical advantage in that his coloring provides more contrast than the warm gold/red/orange/yellow/pink of the other major products.
But the appeal of Eeyore as a product is still clearly distinct from his appeal as a character. Not even the film version of Eeyore hangs out with butterflies or smiles. It's true that other incarnations of Eeyore (in the various TV shows and movies independent of the source material) may have developed the character in a more vulnerable direction, so depending on your views of "canon" there may not be that striking a contrast.
It seems like Milne's Eeyore gives us a grump as we usually encounter them in the general world around us – he may be masking an unmet need for emotional closeness, but not one the victims of his snark are close enough to him to recognize. The Disney film Eeyore brings it a bit closer to home and gives us the grump we know a bit better – there's no out-and-out-snark, and we seem to read a bit more goodwill into his identity, even if we would be pretty bored and irritated if we had to spend a lot of time with him. The merchandise (and perhaps latter-day-Disney-film) Eeyore reflects how we think of our own grumpy moods – just a phase or front for someone who really has more warmth and heart than Rabbit.
I'm not sure I can say that any of these incarnations is incomplete – they're all pretty well-rounded characters. But they are certainly very different characters.
I feel like I should make a disclaimer here that I'm pretty familiar with the book and the shorts from the '60s and '70s, I remember vaguely enjoying the late-'80s Saturday-morning show, and I've shied away from Pooh productions since (although I really wanted to see the newest movie version and will see it in the a couple of weeks on video).
So, which Eeyore is your favorite? What other changes to characters and premise show up on your radar?

Anderson: Some of Manchester United's star players want out of Old Trafford
MANCHESTER UNITED outcast Anderson has warned of a summer exodus from Old Trafford after claiming several of his team-mates 'want out' of the troubled club.
The Brazil midfielder has joined Fiorentina on-loan until the end of the season and has no intention of going back to United.
Anderson, who cost United £26m from Porto in 2007, is expected to make his move to Italy permanent this summer.
His failure to impress David Moyes saw the 25 year-old make just three starts under the new United boss this season before his move to Florence.
But he reckons a host of United stars will follow him out of Old Trafford this summer in the wake of the champions' woeful start to life without Sir Alex Ferguson as boss.
"I am sure that lots of players want out. Especially people like myself and Nani"
United's defeat at Stoke last weekend was their eighth of the season and left Moyes's men languishing in seventh place in the table.
To make matters worse the likes of Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra are all out of contract at the end of this campaign.
Anderson said: "I am sure that lots of players want out. Especially people like myself and Nani, who have been in Manchester for seven or eight years
"Manchester United is a huge club, a club that does everything for its players, but sometimes a footballer wants to leave just to experience a different way to play football and to learn something as well.
"Playing in Manchester was great, it is a prestigious club with a lot of history.
"But I was there for seven or eight years and I want to show Fiorentina my quality and fight for a spot in the starting line-up.
"I thank all Manchester United fans for their love, but I'm here to stay."
