text: H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu) Information You have probably heard that there is an outbreak of H1N1 Influenza commonly known as Swine Flu both in Mexico and in the United States. President Obama said Monday that the H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu) outbreak is a "cause for concern and requires a heightened state of alert," but is not a "cause for alarm." The symptoms of H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu) are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include: fever cough sore throat body aches headache chills fatigue. Almost all of these symptoms would need to be present in order for it to be the flu We encourage everyone to be sensitive to the state of their health and observant of those around them. If you are feeling ill with the above symptoms, do not go to class. Call or email your professors to let them know you are ill. If you feel sick, see a doctor. You may need to limit your contact with others so you don't infect them. Avoid spreading germs by: Not touching your eyes, nose or mouth Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze (and then throwing that tissue out!) Washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing, or using alcohol-based hand cleaners. Source: www.cdc.gov/swineflu/swineflu_you.htm See this site for more information. If you feel sick, make sure relatives and friends know about your condition. If you live in Student Housing on the UTPB campus, please contact your Resident Assistant and the Student Housing Office if you feel sick. They will check on you. As always, first and most important: wash your hands. Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Try not to touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Please do not be alarmed, but do take care of yourself and your families.

I order items online a lot, and if I choose to tell them to bill me later instead of paying right then with my credit card, I always get a delivery note taped to the outside of the package when it arrives. I have to remember not to throw this away, because it contains information on how to pay for the items.
Sometimes, I have to mail part of the note back in with my payment. This is usually the part with the order number on it so that they can verify my identity.
However, if the note gives me an option to pay online, I take it. This saves me money on stamps and envelopes.

Fluffy buttermilk pancakes topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, almonds and whipped cream. This irresistible breakfast will make you want for more breakfast in Los Angeles. Sweet, creamy and fluffy, this could be the lost comfort food of Natalie Portman's.
REVIEWS Hollis A. 1/20/2013 ***** North Hollywood, CA
My friend and I go to Jinky's almost every weekend. The place is usually pretty packed, but worth the wait. The food is great. I usually get the Chicken and Herb omelette with potatoes. The potatoes are AMAZING.
The food could be considered a little pricey compared to a few other breakfast places around the area, but I think it's worth it. I've always found the waiters to be pretty great, if not, hilarious.
REVIEWS Zeal H. ***** 5/29/2012 Los Angeles, CA
Fresh and creative breakfast menu. Down to earth warm vibe.
REVIEWS Ryan R. 2/29/2012 ***** South Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA
Came here with a friend for brunch and we were seated outside after waiting for 15 minutes in the beautiful Santa Monica sunshine. We were very hungry so we ordered right away and after searching through Yelp I decided to try the egg and chili combo. I can't remember exactly what chili I selected but I think it was the second from the top on the back page. Anyways, it was very tasty (not as spicy as I was expecting from the menu ratings) and I really enjoyed it being paired with the omelette. It also came with toast as well which I enjoyed with the blackberry jam they had there. In addition, we both ordered glasses of orange juice and it was very tasty as well as it must have been freshly squeezed which unfortunately is hard to come by these days. Overall, this restaurant is one of my favorites for breakfast in Los Angeles and will definitely be going back soon!
REVIEWS Kate M. 1/24/2012 ***** Montréal, QC
Cute place with very friendly servers. I had the Santa Fe Scramble and all I can say is WOW. Perfect balance of veggies, eggs and chorizo, with the very inventive and great addition of corn tortilla strips for a little crunch! I was skeptical about the pea guacamole since I'm not a huge fan of peas, but it was delicious and seasoned just right! I loved it so much I tried to go back the next day and the day after, but they had lost power. I am definitely going back for more as soon as I can!
REVIEWS Beth V. 1/17/2012 ***** Los Angeles, CA
Jinky's is my favorite brunch in LA. ALWAYS worth braving the 3rd Street Promenade mess on the weekends. You can almost always find parking in one of the garages on 2nd street, even on a busy day. As for the restaurant, there may be a slight wait, but it's never been outrageous for me. Just remember, they won't sit incomplete parties!
I love Jinky's Favorite omelet, and ANY of the Mexican breakfast items (breakfast quesadilla!). Their breakfast potatoes are always awesome, and I love their chilis (you can ask for a sample too). I've also thoroughly enjoyed all of the lunch items I have tried. Basically, I would eat here every day if I could. Definitely try it!
REVIEWS Kristin C. 1/11/2012 ***** West LA, CA
Amazing & Extensive menu. Best Breakfast in Santa Monica!!
Every time I go to Jinky's, I try something new. Everything has been 5 stars. When I go for breakfast I have a hard time deciding sweet or savory. While you decide, they bring you your own jug of coffee to keep at the table. 3 cups later..
Go Sweet with these - Flaky French Toast, Red Velvet or Pumpkin Waffles, Berry Nutty Crepe
Go Savory with these - Healthy Scramble, Garden Scramble, Athens Delight, French Garden or just a classic Eggs Benedict
For fellow Vegetarians, they serve soy chorizo, soy bacon, and other yummy soy products.
REVIEWS William L. 1/3/2012 **** Orange, CA
Comfortable and warm ambient. Food is really good. Creative cook and great service. Portion are really nice, makes you full and satisfied with ease. People visiting are nice too so it just adds to overall ambient. With their prices, this place is a good choice
REVIEWS Elana V. 7/6/2011 **** Sherman Oaks, CA Pumpkin pancakes and flaky french toast. YUM! Enough said!

You know what? Life is challenging sometimes and that's just the way it goes.
Whether you're a parent and your kids just won't eat their tea that you've spent hours preparing, you're heavily in to your sport and you break a bone in the first game of the season, you send an email to a whole lot of people and you forget to send the attachment, or you're like me and struggling to finish an important essay due in a couple of days… life is often challenging. But guess what? God loves you and died for you… so never lose hope… never fall in to a state of despair or lose trust. The moment we become anxious and get to a point where we are stressed and agitated… the devil is pleased. You turn from God and begin to fear! Lets strive to never get to this point.
God has a plan and if we live our lives for the Lord and try our hardest to live in accordance to His will, yes we will suffer and times will be challenging, but we will suffer with joy and hope. Suffer with peace in our hearts knowing we are doing everything for God. What was it Pope John Paul II the Great would say when he would come in to any country or place? Do Not Be Afraid.
When paddling down the river of life and we come to a fork in the stream, do we take the narrow, hard and challenging path? Or do we take the wide and open easier path? Do not be afraid to take the hard and narrow path in life that leads to the greater good of eternal life.
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever.
– 1 John 2:15-17
God bless

This award-winning film (which played at the UK Jewish Film Festival) is based on true stories from Sfar's own Algerian family; it is witty entertainment for both older teens and adults of any age.

Coal seam gas development is more essential and beneficial than horses and wine and the financial long-term return to the state and the public is far higher.

Kem noted that English is just French mispronounced. No reason to let the 13th century farm folk have all the fun – let's see what we're drinking this year in the wine cave.
Thanksgiving wine list
I do like a white available for those who prefer it with fowl. So I've leaned toward flinty sauvignon blancs. The concept is clear the ballot from gravy, biscuit, butter overload.

Merlot or Cabinet Sauvignon? Am I the only one that finds Cabinet gives them headaches?

We stopped occasionally along the road to taste sweet black pignon noir grapes that melted in our mouths.

Sinfandel and Petty Sarah for me. Both are easily googled/binged and it seems that Petty Sarah even has a history:
"However according to reputation, "Petty Sarah" as the old timers called it, can have a rather tempermental personality."from http://www.caninoridge.com/caninoridgevineyard2009.html
PS There's a lot of "fruity on the pallet" and "well-rounded on the pallet" and the like, too. Nice for the truck-drivers and the fork-lift operators.

Fruity on the pallet! For those who buy in real bulk.
Emerald eyes stared intently at the tanker of ale he held in his hand
If you've exhausted the wine options, have a go at mixed drinks.
The late Douglas Adams starts us off with the passage from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe in which he describes the ultimate transcendental eggcorn: http://www.ginntonic.org/
Ken contributed "tankered" for "tankard" on the older version of the Forum, but I don't think anyone ever before posted the more obvious tankard>>tanker reshaping, which turns out to be fairly common. And surprisingly, the etymological rule doesn't seem to apply. The origins of both words are murky, but "tank" may (or may not) be related to languages of the Indian subcontinent perhaps mediated by Portuguese and other languages, and tankard may be a Middle Dutch transposition of Latin cantharus. Both are pretty cool, and I had no idea that tank's origins were so mysterious.
Here's the OED etymology for "tankard":
[= MDu., Du. tanckaert = kitte, L. obba, cantharus (= sense 2 below), (Kilian); also F. tanquart, pl. tanquars (Rabelais). Ulterior history unknown: ? transposition of *kantar(d, cantharus.]
Here's the OED etymology for "tank":
[In sense 1, perh. immediately from an Indian vernacular: cf. Guz. tankh an underground reservoir for water (Shakespear), tanki a reservoir of water, a small well (Wilson); Marathi tanken, taken, a reservoir of water, a tank (Wilson); tanka a cistern of stone inside a house, etc., a reservoir for rain-water: words which some would connect with Skr. tadaga pond, lake, pool; others think that they are all derived from Pg. tanque pond = Sp. estanque, F. étang: L. stagnum pond, pool, with which at least the Indian words were identified by the Portuguese, who even in the Roteiro de Vasco da Gama and through the 16th c. applied tanque to the Indian reservoirs, called also in Fr. estang (Pyrard de Laval c 1610). The 17th c. Eng. forms tanque and tanke appear to be taken from the Pg.; tanck, tank, on the other hand, with It. tancho (Varthema 1510), may have been from Guz. tankh. As to the Eng. use in senses 1b and 2, it is not clear whether this came from Anglo-Indian usage, or was immediately related to Pg. tanque. It could scarcely arise out of earlier Eng. or Sc. stank 'pond, fish-pond, stagnant pool, ditch', since this never in sense approached that of tank.]
[I've removed code for macrons to make my life easier.]
I kinda wish David's "tanker" contribution weren't buried in this thread—it's worthy of its own spotlight.

Mutant Hunt
In a not too distant future, which eerily looks very similar to the late 1980's, cyborg drones will be needed to fill a gap in the workforce for some reason or another. Inteltrax is a company that's filling that void. A mysterious person in the company that goes by the name of Z has decided that money and glory are much more important than creating more worker bees, so he's taken it upon himself to drug the cyborgs in order to make them perfect killing machines that get their jollys by killing the innocent people of our fair land. When Z goes to far and takes one of the scientists responsible for creating the cyborgs as a hostage, the scientist's sister escapes so that she can get the only man on earth that can save the day - and that man is Matt Riker (Rick Gianasi). All of this plays against a subplot of the ambitious and mysterious Domina, who only wants to see Z go down in flames by the hands of her own uber cyborg.
So, did any of that make a damned bit of sense to you? If I did my job correctly, it didn't, because that would mean it conveyed the exact same feeling I had watching this entire movie. One shoddily put together scene with horrible acting connected to another scene with horrible fighting and a boob shot thrown in here and there for good luck. When they're thrown together this badly though, there really doesn't need to be much plot. You're here for the entertainment factor and the special effects, right?
Sometimes watching this movie, I had the feeling that whoever was in charge just made stuff up on the fly. In some instances, the killer robots could stretch their arms like inspector gadget so that they could reach weapons on the wall, and others had super strength. I think what they were trying to go for was that there were 5 different models of these cyborgs and each had it's own special ability, but they were really difficult to differentiate between the 5 of them. One of them looked like a big hulking brute, and the other 4 looked like generic average built guys - all with the same navy pants and long sleeve button up shirts with sunglasses and a last of the mohican haircut.
Not to poke holes in the already tissue thin plot, but these things are supposed to be super human. At one point they're punching through styrofoam walls and pulling people's heads off of their bodies, but when fighting the clearly superhuman Matt Riker and his gang of watered down super squaddies, they couldn't even bloody somebody's nose. These things were basically just heavy bags for the mixed skill levels Riker and his "operatives", rarely landing a blow, but also rarely being defeated - until of course, they were shot one time with these pea shooter laser guns. Z was manufacturing these things for global domination, but they could easily be taken out with a well aimed laser. Hopefully in this future they take all forms of weapon away from the global citizenship, or else his enterprise is going to be short lived. Who the hell is going to pay for an army that can be taken down by effectively a spitwad?
All of this plays out with a pumping simulated Miami Vice theme song (a la Jan Hammer) just jamming out in the background. Who could ask for anything more? The foley work is horrible, with people walking in and out of the frame sound like a horse clomping around, or someone wearing wooden shoes. There's also a constant noise in the background. It's hard to put your finger on, but if you're watching it in an environment where you're wearing headphones, it always sounds like someone else is in the room with you. It would be easy to be annoyed by this sort of thing except that it's so ridiculous and out there, you have to chalk it up to low budget charm rather than negligence.
It should be mentioned, just for curiosity's sake that Mutant Hunt (which should have just been called Cyborg Hunt, but that doesn't sound as interesting I guess) was directed by Tim Kincaid, who's big claim to fame besides his B-Movie career is that he's also known as Joe Gage, and is quite an accomplished gay porn director and actor. While I don't care either way what he does in his spare time, he certainly has a knack for the absurd in his sci-fi endeavors. While Mutant Hunt is light on plot, the dialog is pretty bad, and the fighting is almost worse, it's definitely a fun time despite the warts. It's currently available via both Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, and at 75 minutes run time, it's definitely a good way to kill some time. Mutant Hunt scores 3 keys posing as puckered buttholes on the back of a cyborg's neck out of 5 (and just try to say that 5 times fast).
Mutant Hunt:
When New York is besieged by mutant cyborgs with an insatiable lust for ripping human beings apart, it's dedicated mutant hunter Matt Riker to the speedy rescue! A diabolical scientist, ""Z"" has injected these mechanical zombies with a sexual narcotic that induces a thirst for killing. All over Manhattan, the robotic Romeos begin loving 'em and leaving 'em...dead. With two trusty mutant-hunting pals, Riker descends into the dark tunnels beneath the city to find Z's secret lab. Riker attacks the with revolutionary lasers! The mutants are clamoring for more of the demonic drug! How are Z's plans going for world domination? Not so hot. It's a terrifying fight to the finish as you'll discover when you scavenge for danger on the MUTANT HUNT.

'A bullet has been chosen for you': Attacks on journalists in Pakistan
By admin
Amnesty has released its latest report entitled "A Bullet Has Been Chosen For You" – Attacks On Journalists In Pakistan
The situation in Pakistan seems dire. Here are the highlights:
- At least 34 journalists may have been killed as a direct consequence of their work since democratically-elected government was restored in March 2008.
- Only in one case have the perpetrators been convicted, the 2011 killing of Geo TV correspondent Wali Khan Babar, and even in this case there were serious concerns about fair trial issues.
- Since Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif formed government in 5 June 2013, at least 8 journalists have been killed across Pakistan as a direct result of their work. These include 5 journalists killed in 2014.
- Of the 34 killings since 2008, 9 took place in northwestern Pakistan (the Federally Administered Tribal Areas or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).
- 13 took place in Balochistan province, and of these 6 happened in the province's second town Khuzdar.
Introduction of the report mentions Raza Rumi, the founder/editor of this website:
"I was told my name was on a Taliban hit-list, but I hoped this was just a tactic to scare journalists like me speaking about the situation in my country. How wrong I was." Raza Rumi, journalist
On the afternoon of 27 March 2014, journalist and human rights defender Raza Rumi contacted Amnesty International to register reports that his name was on a Pakistani Taliban hit-list. "I'm not sure if it's real or just an attempt to silence me, but I'm very concerned," he told Amnesty International.1 The next day while driving home after completing his weekly television programme in the city of Lahore, his car was sprayed with bullets. "I was sitting in the back and instinctively ducked under the seat" he said, while glass shattered all around him. His driver Mohammad Mustafa was killed in the hail of bullets as the car continued to lurch until hitting an electrical pole. Rumi narrowly escaped with his life and suffered only minor injuries. But Anwar Hussain, a security guard in the car with him, hired as protection following the threats, received serious gunshot wounds and was paralyzed.
Raza Rumi's ordeal was far from unique. According to Amnesty International research, at least 34 journalists have been assassinated as a direct consequence of their work since democratically-elected government was restored in Pakistan in March 2008. Since Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif formed government on 5 June 2013, at least eight journalists are believed to have been killed across Pakistan in response to their work. Shortly before the release of this report, broadcaster Hamid Mir, a prominent critic of the military and the Pakistani Taliban, was fighting for his life in hospital after narrowly escaping a shooting in the city of Karachi on 19 April 2014. Over a hundred journalists across the country have given Amnesty International first-hand accounts of harassment, abduction, torture and attempted killings at the hands of state and non-state perpetrators. The facts and circumstances of these abuses vary from case to case, and in different regions journalists face different types of risks. However, all these abuses share the common purpose of seeking to silence the media and stifle public debate.
Although six men were arrested for the attack on Rumi and an investigation is ongoing at the time of writing, impunity is the norm for attacks on journalists. In the overwhelming majority of cases investigated by Amnesty International, the Pakistani authorities failed to carry out prompt, impartial, independent and thorough investigations into human rights abuses against journalists,2 or to bring those responsible to justice.
Pakistan has a reputation for having a fearless and vibrant media. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, judging by the extent and severity of harassment and other abuse they face. The US-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) ranked Pakistan as the fourth most dangerous country in the world for journalists, while Reporters Without Borders placed the country 158th out of 167 documented countries in its World Press Freedom Index for 2014…

What the lovely simpletons, who is safe in Pakistan………………even the people going to Mosques are not safe,…….. people at Mosques are not safe …..people at prayers are not safe….students at Madressahs are not safe…….. children at schools are not safe……….people at graveyards are not safe…….and time and often even the people at their home are also not safe …………then what to talk of anyone else ……. ??????
Well the usual defense against such article is that " more journalists are killed in India in one year than in a decade in Pakistan"
many paki bloggers tell us that crime rate in Pakistan is at par and not unusual except for the bombings !!
So why this fuss ? -
Who are you and why do you jump up with nonsense counter arguments to support the utter lawlessness in this country that has killed its mostly innocent and ignorant population, the statistics that has broken all the records of any muslim or non-muslim countries ? Any person who defends or ignores such the wildness here, is the dangerous sinner and he or his are bound to suffer at any time.
Friend if it is so as you say than what are you guys doing about it.Why has the world not witnessed any demonstration of some strength in pakistan against whoever these guys are.i think your kind lack support in pakistan.
Look at India , people here decided to deliver a tight slap to commie/leftie, liberal/secular types for incompetence and communal politics -
Mr. Arzu, sorry if you are Indian, you are our guest writer and that is why don't realize the practical situation here. Have you got on net such Blogs as ' India, Bharat Tea or Cofee House' ? Let's know. please. Thanks
Agree Shiraj that is why you need to tell us the truth on the ground.So is their a momentum building against these killers in pakistan? or do people like RR need to leave the country for good ?
Arzu yaar, speech dekha?
Dear Arzu, let's pl. know if there is any net blog of India as ' tea, cofee, lassi,falooda or halva house …..'
Friend, I will try to post henceforth some articles of research work of youths, If I find them. -
Ranger bhai , i missed it but i feel netas are tired now and the positive momentum will carry modi through.After the last few days of gali galoch their is'nt much left to talk!!
Shiraj bhai,
Are you sure this is a conspiracy ? i understand from your posts above that you do not encourage Indians posting on pakistani blogs and pakistani topics so how do you propose to preach and propagate the intimacy and interaction between hindies and muslims.
And sure i shall let you know about some Indian blogs once i find them but to tell u the truth i like PTH more than any !! -
How does Shiraj know that Arzu is not an Indian Muslim? After all there are more Indian Muslims than Paki ones, unless of course he thinks Indian muslims are not real muslims bcos of where they stay. An answer would be very interesting.
Mr. Arzu, you have still not understood me and my point. I hereby place the article through the research works of the team work of learned and intelligent persons. Every sentence of the subject opens, with undeniable proofs and references, the curtails of the bogus hands that passed away playing with the future of Crores of muslims in Pakistan and Kashmir whose past, present and future have been lost and that is why it has been made the pretext to spoil the image of muslims everywhere. Pl. read repeatedly :
1. Generally. to many students like us, always it strikes that why this country is extremely ill-fated and has been passing the most miserable life like the patient not living nor dying as if everything had been wrong , fraud and false in the very foundation of it.
Fortunately some of our minds in research field noted the following matter passed through many references :
Mohtarema, just read as under, with concrete proofs and references, and calculate and computerise as to whose land is this where the very first P.M. the foremost freedom fighter was assassinated for getting passed the OBJECTIVE RESOLUTION under the background of Kashmir Plot when there was no T of Taliban and no T of terrorism. This country is beyond your Mathematics
How miserably Pakistanies have been mostly stupefied that they utterly fail to realize who are their friends and who
Foes. The following eye opening comment was noted from a blog ;
I have noted this REAL COMMENT from the appreciable blogs that reflect why we have remained BLIND for 67 years and passing the lives of slave animals in this most ill-fated country that has been turned into nothing more than an International Beggar.
We some University Students have found the following comment exactly relevant to the present topic.
It is factually said IN ALL THE SAGE AND SANE DOCTRINES that " A HYPOCRITE IS THOUSAND TIMES MORE DANGEROUS AND EXTREMELY WORSE THAN AN ATHEIST OR UNBELIEVER " Unfortunately, the Muslims of Pakistannd don't realize this fundamental principle so they find themselves nowhere. They just start generally following any intriguer, whether swipper, cobbler, hawker , drunkard, shia,khoja, bori or qadiani from whatever mean decendents or circles, who raise the slogans of Spicy and Fashionable Religion. Blinded by all the outward pomp they didn't think 'WHO AND FROM WHOM WAS THAT JINNAH POONJA AND WHAT HE HAD TO DO WITH MUSLIMS OR ISLAM !'
We, so many IT Unit Members through "Youths Research Union" have noted the following matter that the muslims of Pakistan have been suffering more and more due to the fact that, in this enlightened age of knowledge they have been still in the dark that in the British Era those so called Muslims who were the PET DOGS from public, working for British Regime, were used to be honoured as SIRS and so was Sir Syed. The explicit proof is the country Pakistan itself that was created through the dangerous conspiracies of Freemasonry ( anti-Muslim Jewish-Masonic conspiracy ) and Sabahi Decendents (Pharaohs believing themselves as the incarnation of GOD ) -Sultan Aghakhan who, in full command of the Aligarh Muslim University, made himself as "Founder Pro-Vice Chancellor" ( although he and his sect is absolutely anti-Islamic), hijacked Pakistan Movement and created from his sect, the so called Creator of Pakistan who was not jailed for a single moment nor suffered or sacrificed anything, whereas the genuine and real Pioneers, sunni muslims having sterling character and noble parentage with high education like Maulana Hasrat Mohani, Allama Mashriqi, Bahadur Yarjung who with their party members had passed half of life in jail. Their partymen and some of the family members were killed . They were all sidelined through the underhand dealings between Western powers and Minority sects and generally the duffer Pakistanies hardly know anything about them. Jinnah Poonja, drinker of high quality wine and fond of pork dishes, the carbon copy of an English man was made Founder of UK, US and Jewish planned Pakistan.In the later life he was converted as Shia according to Free Masonary Plannimg; to show aloofness from his Guru Aghakhan and to give foundation coverage to both these Sects so they can do anything unhuman they wish. That is why from these and the allied factions their dogs are commonly found in civil and military everywhere supposing themselves the only custodians of this country. Also from the very beginning, PAKISTAN GAZZETS ARE ALL TIME PROOFS that Jinnah, installed on all the Key and Commanding Posts whether civil or military his selected favourite persons from all the minority sects. Sir Zafrullah, a Qadiani (the parallel sect of Aghakhanies) was the Foreign Minister in the Jinnah Regime then he was promoted to UNO as Pakistani Representative with Kashmir folio specially at his hand. Again he was elevated, through UNO to the status of the Judge of International court yet it is the self-proclaiming proof what is the tragic plight of Kashmir for the last 66 years.The problem of Kashmir was the diplomacy to make perpetual enemies and keep fighting India and Pakistan for ever.
Aghakhani Jamatkhana,Kharadar was built on THE LAND OF PORT TRUST THAT IS LEGALLY NOT USABLE BY ANY PUBLIC CIRCLE.( An aghakhani Habib Rehmtullah was the first K.D.A. chairman ) All the main financial concerns whether Govt. or private were monopolized to Habib Bank of Shias, Timber market and Tram Company to mostly Bories, Jubilee Insurance, Empress Market to mostly Aghakhanies. These are the few apparent examples ( with the start there were few countable big concerns ) , greater may be the inside mysteries..
It is before all that in such modern times, Billions of Rupees of this BEGGAR COUNTRY are wasted on the security of the wild processions with the roadside show-business which is absolutely reverse to Islamic Ideals and civil discipline whereby NO Muslim is permitted to hinder any public passage or daily necessities of even any non-muslim for offering even the obligatory prayers-NAMAZ. Strange to strange are the facts that the homes and earning places of the people are converted to SUB-JAILS and they are not allowed to outside workings !!! These processions of Junglies, with totally unauthentic history of false fiction stories of Karbala ( for which only and only their fore-fathers and ancestors, the first and main enemies of Ahl-e-bait from Iran and Iraq, were completely responsible as the Irani Empire of King Worship was shattered after Islam),are deliberately led through the areas, (e.g. Binnori Masjid ) where there is no shia population or any concern, to add fuel to the fire. This jungle-raj is going on since the sectarian dogs of Jinnah have been sitting on high places. These Sectarian Terrorists, believing the wildness as under some heavenly command, put forward openly arms display that were used in the recent incident of Rawalpindi for the butchery and setting fire of the innocent children.
The so called founder himself was the Greatest Sectarian !! By the time he became all in all. ( ANDHO MEIN KANA RAJA ). He was the Governor (no doubt of Britishers to serve their purposes), Party Head., Cabinet Head, Head of the constitution committee etc. As this country is the 8th wonder of the world, it is strange that the man, who is foolishly believed to be the Founder of this Islamic nation, could not make its Islamic constitution in spite of being all in all. After partition Shabbir Ahmed Usmani requested that Khoja to declare that the constitution of Pakistan would be Islamic, the Maulana was stunned to receive the Flat Reply that 'this is NOT the time to talk such. In this reference it is remarkable to note that THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHIEF JUSTICE OF PAKISTAN, RESPECTABLE A.R. CORNELIOUS TIME TO TIME EXPRESSED THAT "IT IS SURPRISING WHY THE GOVT. DOES'NT ENFORCE ISLAMIC LEGISLATION!!" (Pak Press Record ) It is also worth noting how he had stupefied the ignorant and duffer masses that whenever anyone would ask him about Islamic Constitution, he used to avoid the question by giving the airy reply that "Our constitution is already made up before 1400 years" At this the emotional fools used to enjoy that 'What the nice reply ' but the idiots could not understand what the NICE joke and fun it was! Similarly he used to issue ambiguous table statements ( generally prepared by western lobbies who had trained him during his self exile ) to let the fools be in useless complexity. It is quite understandable, in the light of the conspiracies against muslims that can any Aghakhani,Shia,Bori or Qadiani do anything for Muslims or Islam since they themselves have made self addition in the very first and fundamental principle KALEMA that was never done by any ummas of all the former Prophets (A.S.) and also in AZAN and have created every difference from Alam-e-Islam and have always worked as the snakes of sleeves , the main enemies of Islam. Their salam is ' Ya Ali Madad ' and ' Maula Madad ' It means H. Ali is placed in place of Allah T'ala ( Astg'ferullah ) Although it is on every reliable historical record that the period of the Caliphate of H.Ali was quite a failure and miserable at the hands of Hypocrite Helpers who influenced him to transfer his Caliphate to Iraq and in this way they got him trapped and behaved with him rudely that is reflected through " Nehj-ul-Balaga "( The respectable book of Shias ) that he passed the rest of his life as the pessimist cursing his so called helpers and ultimately he was assassinated by one of them. (Any authentic Islamic History ) Yet they believe that ' Imam is superior to Prophet '
In Iraq they joined their hands with American lobbies to come into powers. Taliban being highly successful to establish for five years the rule of law ending all sorts of corruption in Afghanistan, Aghakhanies invited US to come to save their Religious Fraud. To create the Western planned Pakistan, all the hypocrite sects under the plot through Sultan Aghakhan joined hands with their Western Masters. Again their followers being everywhere among us , serve the purpose more than that of US-CIA knowing every weakness to utilize at their advantage. Publically they undertake the welfare and philanthropic works such as establishing schools, colleges and Universities, hospitals, charity centres appearing peaceful and cultured, behind which they carry on anything against the Muslim Societies and any Nations of western interests.They are SO HIGHLY EDUCATED THAT THEY BOW DOWN BEFORE THE HUGE PORTRAIT OF THEIR IMAM WHO CLAIMS HIMSELF FROM THE DECENDENCY OF H.ALI BUT KICKS OUT H.ALI'S SHARIAH AT ALL.The most disastrous fraud of 19-20th century in the name of All India Muslim League was also founded by this Sultan Agakhan and its first and foremost members were Sirs,Chaudharies,Vaderas, Khans and all the extreme minority sectarian elements for their specific motives and its main office was at Lucknow the home of extreme Shias. The full planning of the Founder Dog and his Masters was to overwhelm and enslave the vast Sunni majority and to stop Islamic Constitution to take shape. The Planners and Policy makers of this League were two Britishers who were posted, one after other as Principals of Aligarh Muslim University.( most authentic History of Independence Movement by Majumdar ) All such goonda –badmash,opportunist and selfish elements and their decendents have been continuously riding over this unfortunate country and its 66 years history shows that the figure of the muslims killed in this country is the highest in the world in comparision to any muslim or nonmuslim country. Why is it so?
Ask the new Muslims who have converted from Aghakhani (or Ismaili) Khojas as to what Sultan Aghakhan and his heirs, who make his followers to bow down before his huge portrait, have to do with Islam, Muslims or even Insan.
He used Sir Syed, the fool with big beard and cap, as the Signboard by making that stupid so said Great Educationalist to implement the policies of his own sectarian hold and to brain wash of muslim youths. He had brought with him on one stage all the minority sects. All these Sectarian Heads drag away Billions,Trillions of dollars as Religious Tax from their idiot followers.As they charge Zaqat @ 12-50% from the Gross Income plus Kaffaras & Nazranas. According to them, for Ismailies there is no need of Namaz, Roza, Hajj, Wazoo, Taharat since they are supposed Jannati in advance. As said to them, Quraan-e-Karim is not understandable by the followers, only Imam can understand it. The followers are advised to read their sectarian book GINAN which was prepared by Sultan Aghakhan and there is SO MUCH inside.
Also this great intriguer wanted to establish his Land-Sovereignty in the regions ( in Gilgit, Chitral and Hoonza that he could NOT have been able to do in undivided India ) where his poor and ignorant countrymen as his followers are in majority (of course the Paid and Purchased Followers). With this mysterious black background , he knew well that if Pakistan would be really Islamic country.all the falsehood of his Imamat,Sabahiat and his Mass Wealth will come to end. Every of the sectarian Heads is fully supported by the Western, UK-US and Jewish lobbies. That is why Jinnah Poonja who had nothing to do with Islam, Muslim or Insan, made the first part of Actorship as the ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity and taking the advantage of communal differences, started preaching and propagating against Hindu religion and culture to effect his Masters' "Divide and Rule" policies . Although our Prophet (P.B.U.H.) had never differentiated as Islamic and Non-Islamic countries like this and never He (P.B.U.H.) preached against any non-muslims as did Jinnah who crossed all the limits of disruption like his Guru Sultan Aghakhan. ( Ref. the lesson Pakistan Zindabad, Text-Book Class XI ) All about these research work, on the Press Record there is explicit proof that Sultan Aghakhan had got booked and leased very very vast land properties some 20-30-40-50 years before partition in the regions that were going to be shaped by UK-US as Pakistan which is so much different from what the real motivators and pioneers had demanded. So it is quite clear that the present Pakistan is the product of underhand dealings and conspiracies between UK-US and Jewish lobbies on one side and on the other, Aghakhani,Shias, Bories, Qadianies; the sects that have nothing to do with Islam or even Insan since their such dangerous plots have killed millions and millions of non-muslims and muslims alike and millions are living UNDESTINED and it was the full planning to divert the Muslim Destiny that has been done. Jinnah Poonja was assured that India must and must be divided according to the plot prepared by UK,US,JEWS and SULTAN AGHA. This is how the trained and fully backed Monkey was dancing as the most steadfast and unpurchasable since who can bid above his supporters ! International Political Game of US was to replace UK from the sub-continent by itself(US) that has been done 100% in Pakistan and 50% in India. Maulana Azad had shown red light against this before partition and all his forecasts have turned out to be true. It is hopeful that in the light of this, Pak Media accepted on the night of 23rd March,2012 that the partition was the conspiracy to break the Muslim unity and strength as the muslims of India were divided in FOUR fragments; East Pak,West Pak, India and Kashmir out of which the remaining Pak and Kashmir find themselves NOWHERE. The so said learned men of that time did not realize that in the near past, Kamal Ataturk of Turkey , like Jinnah was also manufactured in the Western Workshops to westernize and degenerate Turkey in the same way. To make the Aghakhani Jinnah a Hero , the "TUG OF WAR DRAMA" was set forth by his western masters like this "Masters: We will not allow you to separate and make Pakistan ; Jinnah : I will fight the case and will take it " This was how he was made Hero and unnecessary and unwanted Advocate for the senseless masses who were trapped in the cunning plot as if receiving this country in the mode of merciful charity due to Jinnah-
Dear Shiraj M. and Arzu,
We always see the things with particular direction. That directions mainly created by governments (Real Stackholders). In every thing we keen to find conspiracies. Due to this behavior we loss the real things. Hamid Meer shot by mafia, if he wrote or said any thing We assume him GADHAR.. In USA top most Army man caught in miss handling his post, and court gave him punshiment, No any person said that Court is against USA..
It is strange that why people don't try to realize the factualities and the real truth against the blindly accepted and so established falsehood and open fraud that is going to finish them gradually like the slow poison. In the article forwarded through Mr. Shiraj the complete matter has been placed with all the proofs, records and the visible scenario of the nation before our own eyes. It is not at all the matter just to 'understand', ' guess work' , ' speculations' or ' supposition' etc. It is the self-proclaiming record of more than half a century. If still the people remain blind with what they are surrounded, they themselves have decided the destiney of the end and none can help them.
Shiraj M,
Bravo, the paper that you and your fellow students have put together based on the historical facts that you understand them to be, is admirable and could form a chapter in the history of Pakistan.
However, the key factor that you guys missed out which is very relavent for the events todate and your thesis is not hypocracy but FEAR that Mr Jinnah unknowingly implanted in the Psyche of the Pakistanis when he solicited for the support of muslims for a separate state which is still live and is the driving tool for the political as well as military leadership. The only people who have not been infected with the virus of fear are the Talibans who do not have the compatable receptors in them. Now taking 'fear' into consideration you people could suggest to those who rule today, the way forward to explore the potential of the country which its students and people as a whole possess.Rex Minor
The public writer, analyst or commentor who has no vast and wide reading about the world politics, civilizations, cultures, histories ( there are hundreds of branches ) with practical minute observation of the relevant circumstances and atmosphere , can't put forward the realities behind the appearing syndrome around. Few people know that 75% (may be even more ) countries of the whole world run and survive on CONSPIRACY THEORY.
Better than anyone else, they themselves know like the guilty conscious that they stand on false grounds and hence they create and make ' Hypocrites ' in singles and masses to engage for them to serve their intended purposes. This was how initially the Christians among Jews and then Christians + Jews among Muslims created factions and sects who would be engaged and exploited to shatter the muslim societies. Under this vested theory the various factions among us and above all Aghakhani Faction ( who call them also Ismaili ) are used to implement their vicious policies to divert and degenerate the muslim societies.
This was how Sultan (former) Aghakhan ( the Grandfather of Karim Aghakhan) did the Jobs;
(1) Captured and controlled the Aligarh Muslim University, although he himself was the Firoan like those of Egypt as every of the so called Imams made his followers bow down prostrate before him or his huge portrait. There is the indication that when any of Aghakhan dies he, according to his will , is buried in Egypt near the bank of Nile, the abode of Firoans of Egypt, this is the wince towards his decendency.
(2) He thrusted himself at the top in the foundation of All India Muslim League
and made himself the founder president. The planning secretaries of the league were two Britishers who were then posted as the Prinsipals of Aligarh Muslim University. ( Most authentic history of Independence by Majumdar.)
The first line members of this Fraud League were the dangerous Sirs, Chaudharies, Vaderas, Khans etc.
(3) As the third step he picked up Jinnah from his followers to bebome the so
called founder of nation through stage performance only (to divide India in blood-bath as per western planning ) without any shffering , sacrifice or going to jail for a single moment whereas the real pioneers of the movement had passed half of their lives in jail and some of their party and family members were killed.
(4) According to prepartiton background planning, all extreme minority sectarian hands were posted on the key and commanding posts whether civil or military and the British Legisleture was enforced so that none can depose them and the plot chain would contue permenantly. Such secret hands have been doing anything and everything in the societies of this nation.
(5) This plot was keenly implemented as Aghakhan knew that if this country would go on Islamic lines, his priesthood ( the idiots call Imamat) , mass income from his rascal followers and the sovereinty in Gilgit,Hoonza and Chitral would all disolve.
(6) Every of the factions joined with the above plots as their sectarian heads had the same and common interests.
This is the short account. The detailed history needs much time and space. -
M Iqbal,
Your have definitely the best hindsight of all on PTH!!! Now try to mobilise your foresight since the world is moving forward and not backward, and for this one uses the brain neurons which innovate and not receive, create and not copy and this will reveal to you how the world functions. You have quoted small pins but not the big one, the most powerful one, who control the world and decide on war or peace.Rex Minor

Simulating and Optimizing Reaction Forces in Product Design using CFD
On-demand Web Seminar
This complimentary web seminar will focus on how concurrent CFD can be used to predict the working performance of a potential pre-manufactured product. By using CFD that is fully embedded in CAD, early in the design process to simulate the products design, the engineer can make sure the design meets all specification requirements, reducing the number of costly prototypes and potential product recalls.
Duration: 33:43
Opens in New Window/External URL
For this event the presenter will focus on how concurrent CFD can be used to predict the working performance of a rotary pump. Important factors when designing a rotary pump are the induced axial forces, cavitational effects and the pump characteristic curve.
The presenter will demonstrate how concurrent CFD is used to visualize cavitational forces in and around the designs impeller. This enables an engineer to analyze and optimize their design while still in their familiar MCAD environment, resulting in better, more reliable products in a shortened time scale. In addition to predicting the pumping performance for a given rotational speed or impeller design this presentation will demonstrate how CFD analysis can increase the longevity of the pump through the determination of proper bearing requirements and the reduction of cavitation, a major cause of wear and failure in this industry.
What You Will Learn
- Predict axial forces and areas of cavitation
- Perform fluid flow analysis using a FloEFD wizard and familiar CAD interface
- Visualize flow distributions in a virtual 3D environment with a rotating impeller
- Understand the impact of design changes and how it can affect performance
- Efficient ways to share results with design teams and customers

Will never use anyone else.
I have used them many times and they are always extremely fast in processing you. I have never had to wait more than 5 mins for transport to and from airport. I am a bit upset that since they moved that the price has gone up considerably but I will continue to use them.
Very good service and experience.
Executive Airport Parking at Southwest Regional Airport in Fort Myers is an outstanding facility. I have always had A1 service and their employees are second to none! Excellent, excellent service. This is always my #1 choice for parking. Thank you!!!
Excellent service. We were very impressed that we didn't have to wait for a ride to our car and drove right to our car with the trunk open for our luggage. Great Job!!"
Great will use again
The service was good. My only complaints are the long walk to the shuttlewhich I guess there is nothing you can do about and the shirts of the guys there looked terribly dirty. Maybe you should choose another color besides white. Those guys sweat all day in the Florida heat and humidity and from a professional standpoint that is not very asthetically pleasing to see sweat stained shirts.
Wonderful service. Directions to get to the lot were excellent and the signage left no doubts. The shuttle was waiting and all we had to do was sign in at the office. An attendant parked the car for us and another put our bags in the shuttle which took us to the closest departure door at the airport.
Long walk to shuttle , but unavoidable because of airport regs.
long walk from jet blue to the shuttle
Great service!!
my companion and I were very satisfied with all of your services---this was our first experience with this parking arrangement and would recommend your company to others. we especially appreciated the fact that we did not have to go through the experience of finding our way around the airport to park the car. your personnel were all very courteous and helpful and seemed happy to serve a couple of old folks like us. I hope to use your company again in feb. when I will again fly to key west on silver airways.
Best experience with long term parking I have ever had. I will be back.
Your company never answered the phone. I called 6 times over 20 minutes and never got an answer. I was not pleased. My flight came in at 1AM still if you tell me to call when I arrive, someone should answer, don't you think?
Excellent way to travel, would recommend to anyone.
The only issue I would have is if I were on an international flight and returning with multiple pieces of luggage, it is quite a trek to your parking, which I understand is not your fault.
I would highly recommend this service to my friends. The prices are also reasonable which assisted in my decision to leave my car at the airport. Pointing out where we go on our return was also helpful. I would not hesitate to use them on my next flight.
The walk to the pick up area from baggage claim was the worst part of my experience. Being a single female, I had multiple bags and it was a nightmare to haul all of my stuff to get over to catch the shuttle. I would suggest some other assistance near baggage claim to help those clients who are traveling solo.
EXCELLENT SERVICE�. ATTENDANTS WERE VERY HELPFUL IN ASSISTING MY WIFE WHO HAD STABILITY DIFFICULTIES
