If you've been hanging around even the best sites to get laid on, you've probably noticed a certain trend. You'll either attract a bunch of women who couldn't care less about what you're making every year-and you know that because they specifically say it, while asking if that's a REAL Rolex on your wrist in the third picture-or you're going to attract a bunch of women who don't exactly seem impressed with your current income level. In other words, you'll find that you either attract gold-diggers or you attract women who are going nowhere in life and seem to think that you'd be fine doing the same. It does seem like there should be a happy medium of women who are interested, but still classy about what they want in life, a wayto attract women who are interested in the kind of man who goes far without being overly-invested in where exactly he's going.
There are a few great ways to attract exactly the kind of woman you're looking for. It's more work than simply putting upyour best qualities, sure. On the other hand, you know that if you can pull this off, you'll be finding a woman who has her priorities in the right place, and that's the kind of thing that's worth passing up a few flashes in the pan for. Don't forget that you don't need to waste your time with the kind of woman who would be turned off by the way you're presenting yourself with this added information. They're the kind of women who would leave you when they found out what your true net worth, or true self was, anyway, as soon as they got what they wanted. Unless you want the most romantic word you ever say to be "prenuptial agreement," make sure that you're taking this advice into account.
Wear Suits, and Don't Accessorize
A suit is the most powerful clothing a man can wear this side of armor. It's the kind of thing that immediately lets someone know that you mean business-in some cases that you're on business. This is the clothing that is a huge status marker, and you can make sure that women know exactly what you're worth this way. A good, well-fitting suit says three things to the women that you meet. First, it says that you're the kind of man who has a career where people care that he looks professional, which says a great deal about your status. Second, it shows that you want people to see you as professional, which says a great deal about your maturity. Third, it says that you're the kind of man who can easily move, walk, eat, and generally live in a suit-not as common a talent as you might think, at least on some of the best sites to get laid on.
However, you should stop at the suit. There's a broad enough category, career-wise, of men that wear suits without being immensely wealthy. You don't need to make it obvious, because a lot of women are looking for the extra little touches. Watches, scarves, belts, and anything else (especially any jewelry you might be wearing) should be plain or missing. It's enough class to wear a suit; you don't need to look like you had the entire outfit professionally selected for you. It's the kind of thing that you should be careful of, becausea good suit plus a nice watch and a set of fine cufflinks all together are more than enough for a lot of women with dollar signs on the brain. You want to create a certain air of mystery, something that will make women want to know more about you. When you accessorize so much, you're not creating that. You're just creating a target out of yourself, and that's going to come back to bite you.
Give Cheap Gifts
One of the most obnoxious things for most men who try to act or dress below their station is the concept of giving gifts. Many men with a great deal of money want to be generous with it. They know that a small amount of their money, a drop in the proverbial bucket, would do a woman a lot more good, and bring a lot more happiness than it would just sitting around. With that in mind, gifts are a regular occurrence. Usually, they are received very gratefully, and can even have some fantastic compensation for the man who gives them, in the form of some truly fantastic sex. Of course, there's the unavoidable downside, as well. If she knows that you're going to give her presents, what's to stop her from withholding what you want until you give her another one? What's to stop her from wanting expensive things, and convincing you that she's earned them?
The solution to this conundrum is fairly simple. Give her as many gifts as you like-but make sure they're not terribly impressive. If it's the thought that counts with her, you should give her gifts that really reflect that. If she likes jewelry, get her something pretty that's made with glass beads instead of silver and gold. If she's really into perfume, get her something that reminds you of her instead of something with the highest price tag. You might be surprised-she might actually respond better to these gifts than she would to the high-dollar ones, and she'll ask for less expensive stuff.
Never Mention Your Income or Specific Job
Telling a woman your job or specific income is a great way to have her decide to be your personal budgeter. If you don't want to have every financial decision you make critiqued by her as she tries to figure out how to spend your money before you make it, make sure you're taking that opportunity off the table for her. A woman that you're just meeting for the first time definitely doesn't need to know the ins and outs of what you're pulling down in this fiscal quarter. She probably doesn't need to know that unless you're married and probably not even then. More important is making sure that this woman isn't one who's going to try and get that far just for the cash. How can you make sure you don't sound like you're holding out on her without providing specifics?
The best answer is to simply tell her what industry you're involved with. If you're a CEO of a paper mill, tell her that you're in the stationary industry. If you work in any sort of firm that deals with money, just mention that you're in the financial sector. The more broad and vague you keep the job; the more likely you'll be to get laid like the best sites say you will. If she pushes for information about your salary, just shrug. You can say that you're "comfortable," but don't say more than that. If she starts really pushing, look her in the eyes and ask why that's so important to her. Chances are she won't be able to come up with much that casts her in any kind of a flattering light.

And yes, I do doubt the nation would be better if only some people's rights are protected.
And you assumed a conspiracy, insulting my "talent". No, I simply look to the most obvious, simplest solution. So, do you think polls are purposely handicapped with the purpose to inhibit turnout, or is it simply mismanagement?
Oregon is 100% vote by mail with lots of drive up ballot drop off locations.
I can remember as a little kid in LA going with my dad at night to one of the neighbors who opened their house as a local polling place. "Why is there a line?" I asked "Are they giving out candy left over from Halloween?" BTW my father is a legal immigrant who takes voting very seriously. Oh and there was free candy, from Trader Joe's market who gave you a free candy bar in exchange for your voting stub which was proof that you voted.

"Reality is a big nasty vicious dragon. But I don't believe in dragons."
I think you all are missing the point as to why only landowners should vote. The reason is to exclude a class of voters. That class tends to vote Liberal. By not allowing the Liberal voters to vote, you now have a more conservative government, and a better place to live for everyone. I am not concerned about political correctness and I am not concerned that this could not be implemented at this time. Had our forefathers written this clause into the Constitution, we'd have a better country. I am sure you are all aware of the 8 phases of a democracy. I am also sure you are aware we are well beyond the 7th stage.
You need people like me to make the hard decisions that you are unable to make.
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush
won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great
country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements living off government welfare..."
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until
the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from
the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for
the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury,
with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose
fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
Oh slickdeals. You so crazy. It's like a little colony for the stormfront wnd crew that can be studied in a sterile environment without having to risk infection by going to their home worlds.
dealgate, tell me more about your plan to bring fairness and democracy to America by disenfranchising tens of millions of voters. How exactly will it save America?
(sorry guys. this is why I come here. I can't help myself)
I think every single politician that has done anything to restrict early voting should be thrown onto the sidewalk out front of the capital and beat about the head and face with sticks.

Dealgate, I think you missed my point. You don't own anything as long as there are property taxes. So for you to advocate that only landowners should vote, you have excluded yourself. You really are a renter, you don't have full and complete control over your property.
Simple trick to find out who really owns your property: stop paying the taxes on it.

| Ame no Kagaseo chapter 9 . 2/20
This story, is beautiful. The sheer emotion I felt while reading this cannot be described in mere words; for a moment it was as if I saw that colorless world through Itachi's eyes.
Thank you, for writing this.
| moneygreen932 chapter 4 . 6/21/2013
i mean this story is pretty good but it had Itachi pegged wrong he wasn't just a heartless monster because he wanted power... he loved his village more than anything more than his own life and he LOVED his brother even at a very young age this is a good story but it trails of the path of the truth a bit
| kasia110 chapter 9 . 6/13/2013
Wow.. This is more than good enough to accept as the truth of what Itachi really went through. Chilling.
This is not a story for those who only enjoy fluff. Incredible story - haunting - but incredible all the same. I usually forget stories after I read them since there's so many but this is one that will remain with me forever.

| saphirathangel chapter 9 . 12/19/2012
its so hard to find a fanfic that isn't ooc. u're really good at this.
| anonymous chapter 9 . 10/13/2011
This is definitely one of the most wonderful fanfics ever, not even counting your exotic kind of writing. Your fanfic explores the deepest of Itachi's emotions, his feelings and linked them together till the very end. Even the last part ties in beautifully with Kishimoto's story, and I couldn't help wishing you had written more.
The only parts that confused me was about Madara wiping his memories; I guessed that's because this story was probably plotted before Kishimoto decided to put a twist into the story, saying that Itachi is really a "good" person. Still, I find it very interesting that you had this point of view instead of making it the same as Kishimoto's.
I will say again that I have never seen any writing as deep as yours, even from well published authors around the world. Your words paint a startling picture and gives a constant chill up my spine. I thank you for this glorious masterpiece.
| wingedmercury chapter 9 . 7/24/2011
nice. This was a really great and intelligent fic. Thank you for writing it!
"But my ghosts had followed me down the hall. A familiar voice called my name. My heart clenched. It was as if they all called my name at once. Shisui, my mother, my father. I turned, slowly. Standing there, in the hall, eyesblazing, was the only real ghost of the Uchiha."
I just love that- the only real ghost of the Uchiha. Sent shivers down my spine.
Thanks again for a great fic!
| wingedmercury chapter 8 . 7/24/2011
damn, you wrote that bit drunk?
You are good...
"She knew I would. I was a god of death, a double-edged sword. A traitor who had killed his clan to protect his Village." Wow. In just a few lines you cover a lot of ground...!
| wingedmercury chapter 7 . 7/23/2011
Freakin brilliant. I'm too tired to wax poetic, but this was amazing. The dream sequence and the sickening lurch of reality- brilliant.
| wingedmercury chapter 4 . 7/23/2011
oh hells yes. So beautiful and dark. Oh my god. anything I could write in this review pales before the masterful writing. KUDOS.
| wingedmercury chapter 3 . 7/23/2011
wow. This chapter was amazing- you write the flurry of action in the dry, calculating tone of Itachi Uchiha. Well freakin done.
"When you see too much red, the world goes colorless for a while, and takes a long time to brighten again." That was beautiful!
| wingedmercury chapter 2 . 7/22/2011
nice. I just love the matter-of-fact way you present the story, very Itachi-esque.
| wingedmercury chapter 1 . 7/22/2011
I recently rewatched the Naruto episodes of Sasuke's epic battle with Itachi, as well as the truth that is revealed about him. And then went in search for a well written fic about his back story. I really think you've got it down...and it's only the first chapter.
"But I think they also secretly fear it, for never is the waning of age so apparent to a man's eyes as when he bears witness to the waxing of youth." How beautiful. You phrase things so elegantly, and it's just so...Itachi. I think he's a hard character to write and you do it very well:)
| Murazor chapter 1 . 7/3/2011
Some things I really liked, some things I didn't. The decision to double back to canon via Madara mindrape, particularly, I am of two minds about.
However, the story is largely well written and an overall enjoyable read.
| Entendre Euphenist chapter 9 . 3/20/2011
For a while, I had stopped reading Naruto fanfiction. Once you've read enough of them, they all seem to have the same plotlines- this is especially true of Itachi stories. We all know he wasn't as bad as he looks but that's really as far as anyone goes with it.
You took this plotline far beyond what I had imagined; his transcendence into darkness was logical and entirely human. For the first time, Itachi wasn't this untouchable Uchiha force- he became relatable...and very fragile.
I didn't even know you could do that to Itachi. Obviously since this was an Itachi centric story, characterizations are from his POV, but even then, this story breathed a surreal quality of life into something I'd begun to think was played out.
As depressing as Itachi's life turned out, your story gave me new purpose: I'm the type of writer who never finishes what she starts and have multiple manuscripts gathering dust. Inspired now with just how word can breathe, I might knock the dust off of a few

By nassant
What we say:
Our favourite of Kai Bae's midrange beach resorts, K.B. offers a wide range of accommodation to go with an excellent two-tiered swimming pool and a great stretch of beachfront. Though perhaps a tad overpriced, the cheapest dark wood fan bungalows are spotless and have a definite romantic quality with glossy dark wood floors, comfortable beds draped in mosquito nets, off white paint on interior wood panel walls, several windows, large hot water bathrooms and spacious porches. Closer to the surf are larger villas made of concrete and long, thin logs that make them look like modern-style log cabins. These get you mod-cons like TV, air-con and fridge. Though rooms in the newer three-storey hotel block lack the novelty of staying in a beach villa, they're comfortable and afford sea views from the upper floors. Clustered around the pool are elegant Thai-style dark wood cottages for families. Also boasting a scenic seaside restaurant and bar to go with Thai massage, K.B. has a polite, relaxed staff and seems to be a very well-run resort.

KB Resort is a great medium term stay.
We stayed at KB for 20 nights in total after arriving just at the very end of the low season. We managed to negotiate and keep the low season price for the duration of our stay. The resort was close to empty at the start which made for some sluggish staff performance at first and a basic breakfast but as numbers increased this improved. All the staff were polite however once you directly asked them for something. Not many fluent english speakers but that's part of the experience right!? We managed to get a fan villa on the second row from the beach with beautiful views if only slightly obscured mainly by coconut trees. Huts are good distance from your neighbours for privacy. Shady areas on beach can be hard to find as the sun swings round during the day and numbers of people increase. Note-this isn't a private beach so people from elsewhere do take spaces and pass through the resort from time to time. The beach is amazingly set for a stunning sunset each evening. Room was cleaned daily and is a really nice size for a couple. Good bathroom with decent shower. Safe also provided. The windows are screened all be it not completely sealed. There is a net provided above the bed but we never used it. There is a nice swimming pool but we found it to be too chlorine rich, probably due to that fact a lot of young children make use of it during the day. All in all a really nice stay allowing us to relax before some more adventurous travelling and moving about.

Additional info
Travelfish incorrectly says the air-con rooms at K.B Resort have no TV. They do have TVs, and the prices aren't out of place with other resorts on Chang. Koh Chang is one of the more expensive islands in Thailand and we checked out about 10 resorts. This was one of the best and the rooms and atmosphere are worth the money. We visited more expensive resorts with inferior rooms and atmosphere. In two years the rooms have only increased 200B, which isn't much. The resort gets ranked #2 on Tripadvisor and rightly so. I don't know how Travelfish only gives it 6/10. It's closer to 8 or 9.

Great place, tasty food
The bungalows here are lovely, charming and medium sized, set in a relaxed garden. Food at the restaurant was very good. Only negative is the beach is rocky but many beaches on Chang are. Overall a great place to stay.

TP: Plagues of Night by DRGIII Review Thread (Spoilers!)

I'm not talking about technology, I'm talking about the structure itself. For example, modern aircraft are certified for specified service life or service cycles, not in expectations of better technology, but because metals fatique and wear out. Eventually, microcracks and granular imperfections will cause flaws that will cause the structure to essentially grow old and break. If you watched BSG, the same thing happened to Galactica; its wear was a result of age, compounded by a tough life.
Terok Nor is old and lived a hard life. I imagine its structure is riddled with micro fractures. You can only maintain and refurbish such structure defects so much, take it from an aerospace engineer.

Al Qaeda condemns Obama, Catholics for supporting gay couples
- By John HudsonJohn Hudson is a senior reporter at Foreign Policy covering diplomacy and national security.
- john.hudson
- @john_hudson
The latest issue of Inspire magazine, al Qaeda's English-language propaganda rag, hit the Interwebs last night, and it's just as quirky and brooding as previous issues.
Besides rebuking France for its military intervention in Mali or calling for the kill or capture of Florida pastor Terry Jones, the issue takes direct aim at Barack Obama and a "majority" of Catholics for supporting "same-sex relationships."
A darkened image of Obama features the somewhat erroneous quote from the president: "My stance is still evolving … I think same sex couples should be able to get married." (Not like it matters, but those two remarks were not stated in the same interview.) Below the quote is an image of U.S. bishops next to the factoid, "LESS THAN A QUARTER OF U.S. CATHOLICS ATTEND MASS EVERY WEEK … MAJORITY SUPPORT SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS."
Perhaps most disturbingly, the magazine features a side graphic that reads "JUST MARRIED" in blood-stained letters next to an image of former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank and his husband Jim Ready. The image appears to be a Photoshopped version of a photograph taken by the New York Times at Frank's wedding in July of last year. Below the image, the script reads "Barney Franks, Gay Congressman, Symbol of the American Dream."
Apparently, the "Vanity Fair of terrorism" is adopting gay-baiting as its latest tactic.
Elsewhere in the latest issue, it accuses France of only caring about liberties for gays and fornicators.
"Does Bashar Al-Asad [sic] respect human rights which France claims to defend?" reads an essay by Abu Abdillah Almoravid. "Where is it from the massacres in Burma? Where is it from Palestine which is bombarded day and night? Which freedom and rights is it talking about? The freedom of living in peace with adequate resources? Or the freedom of adultery, homosexuality, interest and other impurities?"

A look at a company that changed the world
The grandma check is a cherished tradition
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Google (NASDAQ:
) Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt is sending a powerful message
to TV networks, pay-TV services and anyone else in the
traditional television industry: your days could be numbered.
According to the
Associated Press
, Schmidt gave a presentation last night to woo advertisers and
persuade them to buy ad space on YouTube.
During the presentation, he discussed whether Internet video
could displace TV watching. "That's already happened," he said
(as quoted in AP).
YouTube receives one billion unique visitors/viewers per
month, which is certainly higher than every TV network in
existence, and might very well be higher than every network
combined. Schmidt is confident that the site will continue to
grow and eventually reach six or seven billion people
Google has been spending millions of dollars to ensure that
YouTube becomes the world's number-one destination for video
entertainment. The company reportedly offered
cash advances
to lure content creators.
Famed Nickelodeon and WB executive producer Brian Robbins was
reportedly offered a
$5 million grant
from YouTube to get his site, AwesomenessTV, up and running.
After gaining another $3.5 million during a Series A round of
funding, Robbins sold the company to DreamWorks (NASDAQ:
) for roughly $33 million.
According to the
Associated Press
, "The deal includes the possibility of additional cash payments
of up to $117 million if certain earnings targets are reached in
2014 and 2015."
That's not a bad return for a small company that used an
online video site as its initial form of distribution. Looking
ahead, AwesomenessTV hopes to have a television show on the
network it threatens to replace: Nickelodeon.
That being the case, however, investors may wonder if Schmidt
jumped the gun in announcing that Internet video has already
replaced TV.
YouTube's goals are the same as every TV network: to sell ad
space. If YouTube begins to charge an
individual fee
for new or existing channels, the site will transform into
another pay-TV service. Twenty years from now, it may be no
different from a pay-as-you-go version of Comcast (NASDAQ:
), Time Warner Cable (NYSE:
) or Dish Network (NASDAQ:
). If it keeps growing, however, YouTube could be much
Internet videos are gradually creeping their way into the
living room as more users access Netflix (NASDAQ:
), YouTube, Hulu and other streaming video sites. Netflix's most
popular videos are TV shows, most of which came from traditional
Even so, most TV shows are still watched the old-fashioned
way. Thus, Schmidt may have jumped the gun in making his
statement -- particularly in reference to YouTube.
While YouTube can get 7.5 million people to
watch a guy pick his nose
, it has yet to become the dominant source for full-length
sitcoms, dramas or major sporting events. Until it does, YouTube
cannot hope to displace anything.

Filtering REXX Query Results With BPXWUNIX
MartinPacker 11000094DH Comments (5) Visits (4395)
I've talked about BPXWUNIX before but here's a nice use case: Filtering REXX query results.
When I get your performance data I have code that stores it in a database which I query with (essentially) REXX. The predicate syntax is very simplistic so I'd like to do better. I can't replace the syntax (not entirely true but close enough) but I can filter the results better.
Consider the following single step:
Reading it as a "U" shape, I pass the query results to a Unix Pipeline consisting of two stages:
These line numbers (stdout) are passed back to the REXX driving code, along with any error information (stderr).
Any use case would be expected to check stderr before processing stdout.
But what is the point of jumping through these hoops?
As I mentioned most recently in Towards A Pattern Explorer - Jobname Analysis , regular expressions (regexps) are very flexible. So I can very easily code a filtering regexp that could be used to reduce the results of my original database query. The diagram above shows just such a workflow. But now for some actual REXX code...
/* REXX */ s.1.1=1234 s.1.2=7543 s.1.3=8911 s.2.0=3 s.2.1='XYZZY' s.2.2='Proxy' s.2.3='Xylophone' atstart='¬' grep
Let's examine the code:
There are probably other ways of achieving the same thing - using regexps - using Unix programs. If you prefer them use them. This one seems quite simple to me, Unixwise. And it certainly complies with my performance objective of only transiting once to Unix programs and back. Of course, if you have a lot of filtering instances within a program you'll transit more often - but then the effect on performance is probably still unnoticeable.
I think the first place I might use this is to better refine what I mean by a "Batch Suite". I've talked about that one before.
Thanks @bernard59 for your comment. Care to expand on it?
In the " UNIX System Services - User's Guide ", item " Terminal emulators",
 i read:
 "Code page conversion: By default, z/OS UNIX System Services operates in the POSIX locale (also known as the C locale) using code page IBM-1047"

 When i use egrep, il use always codepage 1047.

 Change local codepage is possible.
Thanks again. I'll admit to not being as sensitive to codepage issues as I should be - having the UK/US thing going on.

But such a requirement is a niche and not the use case of 95% of users and as the other poster adds is easily accomodated by running a specialed X server on top of wayland.
Comment: The problem Wayland attempts to solve (Score 1) 315
is to provide display management for linux devices that generally do not require network transparancy such as phones and tablets and which are resource constrained so the bloat of a full xorg stack is unacceptible. Clearly Ubuntu which has designs on becoming the tablet king is embracing this - Fedora also has an interest because it is the basis of the olpc, raspberry pi and other lightweight device spins. The obvious simple way to support network transparency is to run an X server as a Wayland app and this works fine so backward compatibility is easy to provide in fact Gnome is adding westin support into mutter so apps will use wayland if available and X if not. Going forward adding network transparency nativly to wayland is a fairly trivial and can be implemented more efficiently than X - according to the developers.
Plusses: smaller leaner and simpler code base, backward compatibility for legacy X apps, possibilty of network transparency not based on what was state of the art 30 years ago. Tight integration into linux.
Minuses: linux only (possibly), some pain in the transition possible while support is added to distros. Developers currently focussed on solving specific problems for Tizen.

+ - Fusion Anytime Now, Again, Said UK-> 1
The UK company AWE and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory have now joined with Nif to help make laser fusion a viable commercial energy source.
Part of the problem has been that the technical ability to reach "breakeven" — the point at which more energy is produced than is consumed — has always seemed distant. Detractors of the idea have asserted that "fusion energy is 50 years away, no matter what year you ask", said David Willetts, the UK's science minister. "I think that what's going on both in the UK and in the US shows that we are now making significant progress on this technology," he said. "It can't any longer be dismissed as something on the far distant horizon."

The Higgs boson "rumor is based on what appears to be a leaked internal note from physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 17-mile-long particle accelerator near Geneva, Switzerland. It's not entirely clear at this point if the memo is authentic... The buzz started when an anonymous commenter recently posted an abstract of the note on Columbia University mathematician Peter Woit's blog, Not Even Wrong."
This could be a flat-out hoax or a statistical anomaly or... confirmation of the particle that bestows mass on all the other particles.

The purpose of the flyPublished 10:10am Monday, September 17, 2012 Updated 12:11pm Monday, September 17, 2012
To everything under the sun there is a purpose and I ask myself what would the purpose of the fly be? Knowing God has a purpose for all creatures great and small, I am on a search today to get closer to the mind of God. I believe I got the answer to the life long pesty question.
And the answer is job security.
You see, someone has to make the chemicals to produce the ink to print the paper to swat the fly. Then someone has the job of shiping the ink to the warehouse where it is stored until the newspaper orders more ink. Then of course someone needs to work the machines at the newspaper.
And then there is all the boys and girls who deliver the paper. And let us not forget the people that work at the shoe factorys that put shoes on those kids that deliver the paper.
Now, do I really want to roll up that paper and put that fly out of my misery? Do I really want to be the cause of JOB-IN-SECURITY for so many? Another purpose for the fly is so Edith Berry can write words of nonsense. And so ends the story of the purpose of the fly.

Abductions unmask Aquino's, AFP's hypocrisy
The still fragile peace situation in Muslim Mindanao was seriously threatened by the abduction and enforced disappearance of Sheik Basher Mursalum, an Alim or Muslim scholar, last Jan. 22 by suspected operatives of the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime and the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force. Sheik Mursalum was on his way home to Barangay Labuan, Zamboanga City. Until now, he is still missing. The western Mindanao police and the head of the Task Force Zamboanga have not acknowledged custody of the victim.
Two days after Sheik Mursalum's abduction, Muin Hamja, a 40-year-old fisherman of Barangay Kumalarang, Isabela City in Basilan, was arbitrarily arrested by elements of the PNP last Jan. 24 at around 2:30 p.m. at his residence. The Basilan PNP denied it had custody of the victim when his family inquired about him at the police camp in Isabela City. For four days, Hamja was missing until the PNP surfaced him at the Basilan Regional Trial Court on Jan. 28. He was charged with kidnapping and tagged as an Abu Sayyaf.
These two abduction incidents of Moro civilians in Zamboanga City and Isabela City in Basilan have a chilling effect on the Moro people despite the grand signing of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) by the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on Oct. 15, 2012, in Malacañang. The FAB seeks to establish a Bangsamoro autonomous region and achieve peace in Mindanao and the country.
But we in Hustisya-Moro can't help but wonder: Is this President Aquino's path to peace in Bangsamoro?
President Aquino declared that the FAB will bring peace in war-torn Mindanao. The President just signed the Involuntary Disappearance Act of 2012 which criminalizes enforced disappearance. His new Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff, Gen. Emmanuel Bautista, author of the national security plan Oplan Bayanihan, also boasts of a reformed and human rights-oriented military under his reign. But the abduction and enforced disappearance of Sheik Mursalum and the arbitrary arrest and terrorist-tagging of Hamja, a lowly fisherman in Basilan, betray their words and expose to high heavens the Aquino administration's and the AFP's hypocrisy. The continuing human rights violations against the Moro people unmask the deceitful and devious character of this administration in pursuing and promoting a just and lasting peace in Muslim Mindanao.

A proposed budget that included a 1.5% utility tax increase failed to gain enough votes to pass, leaving the financially troubled city without a budget for the new fiscal year which began July 1.
In a 2 to 2 vote, the council rejected the plan because the tax hadn't been approved by the council. Even with the tax increase, the plan projected a $1.4-million deficit.
Councilman Steven Andersen said he voted against the plan because the voters hadn't had a chance to speak on the proposed tax increase. Mayor Larry Guidi also voted against the budget. Councilwomen Ginny M. Lambert and Betty J. Ainsworth voted in favor of the proposal, with the understanding that it could be amended if the utility tax increase wasn't approved. Councilwoman Martha G. Bails was absent.
Interim City Manager James A. Algie said he will not change the plan before the council votes on it again July 11.
