All Souls is an American family story you've never imagined, ''an incendiary, moving book that startles on nearly every page.'' -Kirkus ReviewsEdition/Copyright: 99
Through impassioned, brilliant personal storytelling, Michael Patrick MacDonald brings us to Southie's lower end, a poor but intensely insular neighborhood its residents agree is the ''best place in the world.'' Through the eyes of the troubled yet keenly gifted observer he was even as a child, we meet Michael's mini-skirted, accordion-playing, usually single mother who cares for her ten children through a combination of high spirits and inspired ''getting over.''
But too soon Southie becomes a place controlled by resident gangster Whitey Bulger, later revealed to be an FBI informant even as he runs the raging drug culture Southie supposedly never had. It is a world primed for the escalation of class violence, and then, with sickening inevitability, of the racial violence that swirls around Boston's forced busing in the 1970s. The violence spills into the MacDonald family so that within a few years--a sequence laid out in All Souls with mesmerizing urgency--four of Michael's siblings lose their lives to poverty and drugs and organized crime. All but destroyed by his grief and the Southie code of silence that doesn't allow him to feel it, MacDonald gets out. His work as an antiviolence activist, first in the all-black neighborhoods of nearby Roxbury then back in the Southie he can't help but love, is the healing close to a story that will leave readers shaken and changed.
All Souls Discussion Topics for Community Reading Groups
What preconceptions about Southie did you bring to your reading of All Souls? How did the book add to or change what you knew?
Michael Patrick MacDonald writes in chapter 2, ''My oldest memories are of my mother crying.'' What was the author's early relationship to his mother like?
How do you feel about Ma's relationships to the men in her life? To the social workers who visited the MacDonald family early on in Jamaica Plain?
Michael Patrick MacDonald comes to hate Mass Mental during the time Davey is a patient there. He says, ''I knew Davey had been through bad things, growing up with a father like Mac and finding his baby brother dead. And to me, it seemed he was being punished for having gone through bad things.'' How do you feel about Davey's life?
Early in the MacDonald family's life in Old Colony housing project, Michael Patrick MacDonald learned lessons about Southie boundaries--racial, class, and geographic--and codes of behavior. Do you remember what they were? How do these boundaries and codes compare to those of your growing up?
What are the parents' attitudes toward the behavior of the kids in Old Colony? Are Ma's attitudes toward her children similar to other Southie parents'?
Michael Patrick MacDonald writes, ''Along with the craziness and the cockroaches, the summer of 1974 brought with it great anticipation for the fight of our lives.'' How did the realization that the buses were coming influence the behavior of the people in South Boston?
Who were the people and organizations that South Boston residents began to see as the enemy in the busing crisis? And whom did they see as allies? Why?
How did the author feel about the beatings of the Haitian man he witnessed? How did he feel about the violence directed toward Southie kids?
What impact did busing have on Michael and on his brothers and sisters?
How did Southie's code of loyalty play out among Michael and his siblings? Do you think it was a positive or a negative force?
What role do the police play in the neighborhood throughout All Souls? Was any of this familiar to you?
What are the things about Michael Patrick MacDonald's portrait of Frankie's life toward the end, and his death, that stick with you the most?
How does the narrative voice of All Souls change as the MacDonald family tragedies mount up?
What do you feel is the turning point or points for Michael Patrick MacDonald during Stevie's trial?
A Conversation with Michael Patrick MacDonald
Q: No reader of All Souls could forget Ma. Where is Ma now, and what is her life like?
A: My mother lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. She lives in a place without much social life. A place where people don't really talk to each other on the street, so she misses that about a village like South Boston. But she has a much quieter life. She is raising my niece, Maria, Kathy's daughter. I don't think she misses the traumas, the constant onslaught, but she does miss the social life and being able to talk to strangers walking down the street without them thinking she's strange.
Q: Has Southie changed in the 1990s, since you grew up there?
A: It's changed a lot. It's changing now, gentrifying really quickly. Some people say the changes are all good because Southie will be more socioeconomically mixed, but this isn't the direction it is going. The neighborhood will definitely become more upper-middle class. Neighborhoods have a transition where they seem mixed for a while, but that doesn't last. I've never seen it last. So South Boston probably could have been the first functionally diverse neighborhood in Boston, but because of the policy of forced integration combined with the gentrification of the neighborhood outside of the housing developments it's going to become a place that looks like apartheid on the surface--one where everybody in the projects is of color and everybody out of the projects is white, middle class, single, and has no kids.
Q: What are the things about Southie that will never leave you?
A: My mother says that she will never get Southie out of her system. She says she's in a place where she doesn't feel dead, but she doesn't feel alive. That's scary. In South Boston there is a sense of security and a feeling that you don't get in too many communities these days. The old neighborhood is dead in America. South Boston is one of the places that still has that feeling, but it's fast disappearing. For good or bad we always had that sense of neighborhood, the shared struggle, the shared identity. That's something I will always miss, but it's something that most people don't have or appreciate, so I'll just be getting up to date with the rest of the world.
Q: You write about Southie's strong code of silence. Was it difficult or frightening to break this code of silence in writing All Souls?
A: There were frightening times both in my work as an activist and during the writing of the book. It feels like you have no choice, though, and the good outweighs the fear. It's still scary to do things to break the code because it's in your blood to keep silent. But in reality the gangster world falling apart.
Q: The scene in your book when you try for the first time to reach your father by telephone is one of the book's most heartbreaking. Did you ever meet him?
A: The only time I actually ended up seeing my father was in his casket. His sister called me to invite me to the wake and the funeral. I went to find out whatever I could from his corpse. There wasn't much to learn. The irony is, he's buried a couple of rows down from my brothers' graves. The first time I noticed it I didn't stop--there was no connection. It says a lot about who you really are connected to in the world and how little that has to do with blood. It says a lot about what a father is and isn't.
Q: You write about the numbness you felt after the repeated tragedies in your family. Do you still suffer from this, and what has helped you to heal?
A: Your body automatically kicks in numbness around trauma, but after a while even that stops working. But I've learned instead of looking for other ways to numb out to immerse myself in the pain and to deal with it. Face it, face the worst aspects of it. It doesn't go away, but you learn to live with it. You might as well make the best use of it. Through activism, writing--there I'm redeeming my life, making it have some value for other people and the bigger picture.
Q: What do you wish most for Southie?
A: I wish that the opportunities that are there could be seized before it turns into another yuppie neighborhood. The racial mix is reflective of the diversity in the city of Boston, and that can be used to create a strong, functional, working-class community. Southie could become Boston's first functioning diverse and working-class community. I think Boston has missed out on so many opportunities.
Suggestions for Community Reading Group Leaders
1. Come prepared with 10 to 15 open-ended questions. Questions that can be answered Yes or No tend to cut off discussions.
2. Questions should be used to guide the discussion and keep it on track, but be ready to let the discussion flow naturally. You'll often find that the questions you've prepared will come up naturally as part of the discussion.
3. Remind participants that there are not necessarily any right answers to the questions posed.
4. Don't be afraid to criticize something about the book, but try to go beyond the ''It just didn't appeal to me'' statement. What was it about the book that made it unappealing? The style? The pacing? The characters? Did it remind you of a book that you liked/disliked?
5. Try to keep a balance in the discussion between personal revelations and reactions and a response to the book itself. Every reader responds to a book in ways that are intimately tied to his/her background, upbringing, and world view. That's interesting, but what's more interesting is how the author chose to present the events in the book, or the author's attitude toward events. It's often too easy to let a group drown in reminiscences; if that's what the whole group wants to do, that's fine, but keep in mind that that is not a book discussion!
Suggestions for Reading Group Participants
A good discussion depends partly on the skills we develop as participants. Here are some suggestions (based on the New York Public Library's book discussion program):
1. Speak up! Group discussion is like a conversation; everyone takes part in it. Each speaker responds to what the person before him said. Nobody prepares speeches; there should be a spontaneous exchange of ideas and opinions. The discussion is your chance to say what you think.
2. Listen thoughtfully to others! Try to understand the other person's point of view; see what experience and thinking it developed from. Don't accept ideas that don't have a sound basis. Remember: There are several points of view possible on every question.
3. Be brief! Share the discussion with others. Speak for only a few minutes at a time. Make your point in as few words as possible; it's more effective in a group discussion. Be ready to let someone else speak. A good discussion keeps everyone in the conversation.
4. Share your viewpoint and experience! Don't expect to be called on to speak; enter into the discussion with your comment of agreement or disagreement. When you find yourself disagreeing with other people's interpretations or opinions, say so and tell why, in a friendly way. Considering all points of view is important to group discussions.
5. Come with your own questions in mind! As you read the book, make note of the points on which you'd like to hear the comments of group members.
A Short History of Forced Busing in Boston
In June 1974--just as the 1973-74 school year ended--U.S. District Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. issued the [school] desegregation order that would soon tear the city apart.
The ensuing conflict, with its widely publicized images of interracial violence, made a lasting imprint not only on this city but on the whole country as well. Rooftop snipers and platoons of police cars, stabbings in schools, and brutal beatings on the streets--those scenes made it resoundingly clear that school desegregation was not a problem confined to the South. It was a dilemma for the nation.
Yet as profound an impression Boston's busing war made elsewhere, its impact was far deeper at home. For a city that has long cherished its image as a cradle of democratic ideals, the trauma has proven difficult to shake. Many people see its legacy in the public's lack of confidence in the city schools, and in the stark demographic changes the district has undergone in the past generation. Echoes of the busing battles are also easily heard in the city's ongoing debate over how to improve educational quality, especially when the topic turns to the racially charged issue of neighborhood schools. For these reasons and more, many people believe that neither the city nor its schools have fully recovered from the crisis and its aftermath.
When the case known as Morgan v. Hennigan landed on Judge Garrity's desk, there were no laws authorizing separate schools for blacks and whites in Boston.
On the contrary, a 1965 law aimed at eliminating schools that enrolled a majority of non-white students had made Massachusetts the first state to impose sanctions on districts with racially imbalanced schools. The city school committee had been resisting the state's efforts to enforce that law for years when the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People agreed to finance a federal lawsuit by a group of Boston blacks in the spring of 1972.
The suit pitted activists such as Ruth Batson, a leader of the NAACP's struggle with the school committee in the 1960s and '70s, against school segregationists, often led by former U.S. Rep. Louise Day Hicks, who opposed busing and sought to repeal Massachusetts' racial-balance law.
In weighing arguments in the case, Garrity focused on whether school officials had engaged in a pattern of actions and inaction that amounted to deliberate separation of the races. On June 21, 1974, he concluded that they did.
''There was a very deliberate discriminatory operation in place,'' says Garrity, who still hears cases at age 78.
By the time of his decision, a legal battle between the district and state had already yielded a directive requiring the city to implement a far-reaching desegregation plan by September 1974. As a remedy to the violations he had found, Garrity turned to that plan--which critics had reviled, saying it would tear the city apart. The buses would roll, he decreed, in 2-1/2 months.
The ruling came as a shock.
''I'll never forget that day,'' recalls John M. Halloran, a longtime Boston school administrator who now oversees the district's desegregation efforts. ''My reaction was, 'My God, we can never get this in place by September. Chaos will ensue.'''
As it turned out, the hasty reassignment of thousands of students proceeded calmly in most schools. But it was the exceptions that the world noticed then, and that the city remembers today.
That autumn, it was South Boston--then a largely working-class section of the city long dominated by Irish-Americans--that emerged as the chief battleground.
Just how much the city and its schools have suffered--or benefited--from court-imposed desegregation remains a matter of lively debate. Many have concluded that busing accelerated the flight from the public schools by whites and the middle class that was already underway. Others contend that busing's contribution to that process was only marginal. In the fall of 1972, whites made up some 60 percent of the district's 90,000 students. Four years later, enrollment had fallen to 71,000, and whites made up less than 45 percent.
Today, 63,000 students attend the city's schools. Only 15 percent of them are white, 49 percent are black, 26 percent are Hispanic, and the rest are mostly Asian-American, with a tiny percentage of American Indians. At least 71 percent of students come from families poor enough to qualify for free or reduced-price lunches, a figure that school officials say underestimates the level of poverty.

MacDonald, Michael Patrick :
Michael Patrick MacDonald was born in Boston in 1966 and grew up in South Boston's Old Colony housing project. He helped launch Boston's successful gun-buyback program and is founder of the South Boston Vigil Group and works with survivor families and young people in Boston's anti-violence movement. He is recipient of the 1999 Daily Points of Light Award, among many others. All Souls: A Family Story from Southie is his first book.
''An incendiary, moving book that startles on nearly every page. . . . MacDonald's nimble prose and detailed recall of grim times long past make for luminous reading; his hard won conception of how ghettoized poverty spawns localized violence, and the dignity he brings to lives snuffed out in chaos, gives All Souls a moral urgency usually lacking in current memoir or crime prose. A remarkable work.''
--Kirkus Reviews *
''All Souls is a rowdy, sometimes raucous venture into the MacDonald Family's inner vault. It will leave you weeping and laughing uproariously. A must-read for the uplift of spirit, and for the courage shared by this grand writer.''
--Malachy McCourt, author of A Monk Swimming
''After reading this harrowing memoir of a Catholic boyhood in a South Boston housing project, 'poverty' will never be a mere category to you again. It will wear the face of a family that loses children to drugs and crime, and that face will be white. Michael Patrick MacDonald has a gift for narrative, an eye for social detail, and a voice of earned authenticity.''
--Jack Beatty, senior editor, The Atlantic Monthly and author of The Rascal King
''This is an extraordinary family story about an extraordinary place called Southie. It is a story of a young man climbing a mountain of violence, to emerge with love and hope. All Souls grasps your emotions from the first pages and won't let go.''
--Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States

Tuesday July 31st, art history student Heiðar Kári Rannversson will lead a guided tour about public art around the island. The Imagine Peace Tower is a work of art conceived by the legendary artist, musician and peace advocate Yoko Ono as a beacon to world peace. The work is in the form of a wishing well from which a strong and tall tower of light emerges.
The words IMAGINE PEACE are inscribed on the well in 24 world languages. The out-door sculpture Milestones by the US sculptor Richard Serra is placed on the west part of Viðey. Serra who is one of the most influential sculptors of the post-war era, made this work as a gift to the Icelandic people at Reykjavík Arts Festival in 1990. The work comprises nine pairs of pillars of columnar basalt, which "frame" certain landmarks and destinations. Each pair of pillars is so placed that one stands nine metres above sea level, and the other ten metres. The pillar which stands lower is four metres long, and the other three metres, so the tops of the pillars are level. The distance between each pair of pillars is defined by the varying gradient of the ground where they stand.
Tuesdays are longer than other days of the week in Viðey. Two extra trips are added to the schedule at 18:15 and 19:15 and Viðeyjarstofa Café is open longer. This makes it possible for guests in Viðey to enjoy a lovely dinner at the Café, have a pleasant walk around the island, and enjoy delightful refreshments afterwards in the evening sun. The guided tour is in Icelandic and it is free of charge. It starts at 19:30 by Viðeyjarstofa and takes about an hour and a half. Ferry goes back to Skarfabakki at 22:00 Roundtrip to Viðey ISK 1000.- for adults and ISK 500.- for children 7- 16 years.
The tour will take place in Icelandic. For information on ferry schedules and fee.

Kevin Love returns to Wolves: 'I love being here'
"I just think that they need to realize that I love being here," Love said. "I don't know where the misconception came along, but I love this team. I love this organization, and somewhere along the line it went the other way. I think that wholeheartedly they need to realize that I do want to be here. I have fun being here."
Love said at the time that he made many positive comments in his oft-cited Yahoo interview that were not included in the story. He may not have helped himself in January when he posted a picture on his Twitter account of a watch resting on a biography of Lakers great Jerry West. Sensitive fans again assailed him, saying it proved that he didn't want to be in Minnesota. Love said he reads the book for inspiration looks up to West because his father Stan Love played with him on the Lakers.
Still, the 24-year-old appears to have come to the realization that, as one of the two faces of the franchise along with Rubio, his words and actions are under greater scrutiny.
"All I can do is, you know, be happy with and only manage things that I can control," Love said. "And with that continue to be humble. In some cases, just shut my mouth and continue to go out there and work. I think the same applies for everybody on the team, and you know, everybody involved with the organization."
Love has yet to be cleared for contact, but he does hope to be back by sometime in the middle of March. He said his hand feels much better after the surgery than it did when he let it heal on its own the first time, and he's trying to get back to salvage something from this most disappointing season.
"That decision will be made purely on where he is and how healthy he is," coach Rick Adelman said. "The time for that is later. It's not right now."
Love hopes to return with about a month left in the regular season and start putting all the negativity of the first four months of the season behind him.
"As far as me and more importantly the team goes, yeah, I think there's a lot of stuff that we can salvage," he said. "We can continue to get the fans back on our side so they'll have something to root for."

I am in the Military and I bought a house 7 year ago, I havent been able to sell it and I am completing a short sale. How come my credit took a huge hit like over 200 points.

That is the only negative thing on my credit report and it feels like all the companies look at me like a loser since I cant sell my house and dont want to face a foreclosure.
Sadly, short sales are considered nearly as bad as a foreclosure as far as credit scores go. This may seem pretty harsh but was recently looked at to see if it resulted in overstating consumer risk. Turns out it doesn't. Good chance you don't have the high risk that most short sellers do if you got someone to evaluate your personal circumstances and not just the numbers on a credit report but we really are all just numbers now.
From the horse's orifice:
"In the population we studied, one out of every two borrowers who experienced a short sale went on to default on another account within two years. That is exceptionally high risk."
I have reestablished credit over the last couple years
so my moniker is, well, rather out of date.

Wednesday And-1 Links: Rudy Gay has banned stat sheets from Raptors locker room
Nov 27, 2013, 5:11 PM EDT
Here is our regular look around the NBA — links to stories worth reading and notes to check out (stuff that did not get its own post here at PBT) — done in bullet point form. Because bloggers love bullet points more than you love Thanksgiving leftovers….
• Rudy Gay — who is shooting 37.5 percent on the season — has banned stat sheets from the Toronto locker room. In the name of team play and not focusing on stats.
• Here is a fantastic breakdown of what is going wrong with the Nets. A lot of it is they miss Brook Lopez (and could use the good Deron Williams, if he still exists).
• Nate McMillan, the former Trail Blazers head coach who is now an assistant with the Pacers, talks about his return to the Pacific Northwest for a game.
• It's not like he was getting on the court much anyway, but Warriors rookie Ognjen Kuzmic will miss at least six weeks following surgery to repair his broken right hand.
• If you ever wanted to know the grooming secrets of NBA players… well, I'd be a little worried about you. But here are the details if you care.
• Here are the nitty-gritty details of the new Paul George contract. The bottom line: He will get 27 percent of the salary cap next year (if he makes the All-Star Game, which he will) rather than 30 percent, as a trade off he has an opt-out after four seasons.
• A group of Cleveland Fans are trying to lure LeBron James back with T-shirts. Good luck with that.
• Some Bucks fans are raising money for a billboard that will beg the team to lose more games and tank for the lottery. Well, it has a better chance of working than the LeBron T-shirts.
• One of the guys who made those back-to-back games Oklahoma City Thunder half court shot promotions and won $20,000 is a college basketball player. You can feel the NCAA itching to investigate already.
• The Boston Celtics (teamed with American Express) have launched pre-game mobile application show, called "Home Court Advantage presented by American Express." Done in conjunction with Celtics.com, it will include analysis of whoever Boston is playing that night, special interviews with Celtics players and coaches, a look at practices and some off-the-court features. Just a quick search of your smartphone store of choice can find this.
• Finally, Jeremy Lin took a little blow to the head the other game.

Rudy has been the "Analytics" poster child or even evil stepchild.. I'm glad he is fighting back.
- katra2logic - Nov 27, 2013 at 5:37 PM
Too late Rudy, most everyone knows you suck. (I am not usually this harsh but Rudy has 'earned' it with his poor decisions and bad shot selection).
- pbtunpaidwriter - Dec 1, 2013 at 4:48 PM
He doesn't want people knowing he takes and misses the most shots and gets no assists.
Shhhh…its a secret

text: CES 2012: Epson's Android-powered Moverio BT-100 – 3D, transparent head-mount display Tony Simons 13 January, 2012 6 Comments Let me just start by saying this. For those who have never experienced the Consumer Electronics Showcase, otherwise known as CES — the world's largest electronics convention held each year in Las Vegas, it is an absolute mind-blower. This is my first time at the show and I've already convinced myself that this will be a ritual in my life for many years to come. That being said, after day 3 of CES 2012, I've seen a total of one — yes, only one — product that has completely blown my mind. That product is the Epson Moverio BT-100 — the world's first-ever 3D, transparent head-mount display unit, powered by our beloved Android OS. The Moverio BT-100 consists of a set of see-through multimedia glasses and a pocket-sized control unit, powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo). The device offers web browsing capabilities and allows users to watch content from most websites including MPEG-4 videos, files or applications and side by side 3D viewing on the move. The control unit features dedicated buttons for commonly used functions and and a touch-sensitive trackpad. WiFi connectivity, a 4GB SD card, 1GB of internal memory and a convenient storage case are all included with the Moverio. The image produced by the Moverio is simply unbelievable. It's unfortunate that I cannot convey to you how cool this product is with words alone — this is one of those "Gotta see it to believe it" pieces of technology that will leave you amazed after your first experience and dying to get your hands on a unit you can call your own. The display is a "large perceived image" — equal to viewing a 320-inch screen from a distance of 20 meters. Viewing mode can be toggled between 2D and 3D, with the latter viewing mode offering a truly enjoyable, pain-free 3D viewing experience. While no official date has been set on US pricing or availability, the Moverio BT-100 was officially unveiled last November in Japan, and is expected to be available in the States in the very near future. We'll be patiently awaiting its arrival, and looking forward to getting our hands on one of these babies for an all-out nerdfest. Key Features Transparent lenses for see-through viewing Large perceived image – equivalent to watching a 320-inch screen from 20 meters away QHD screen resolution (one quarter of a Full HD display) Android™ 2.2 platform and Adobe Flash player for easy web browsing and faster application speeds Easy access to the internet with Wi-Fi connectivity Easy-to-use control unit, featuring dedicated buttons and touch-sensitive trackpad Carry case and battery charger Store content on the 4GB SDHC card (included) Up to 32GB memory capacity for large file storage Built-in 1GB internal memory Watch side-by-side 3D content Replacement nose pads and adjustable side arms Fits over glasses Intuitive smart-navigation user menu Digital user guide enables quick, helpful problem solving whenever needed Enjoy both audio and visual content with a pair of Dolby Mobile2 stereo sound earphones (included) Six hour battery life Removable transparent lens shade Source: Epson NuLL.n.VoiD …and if you have glasses — NO SOUP FOR YOU!

When a student receives a report card it is an assessment of their academic performance. The Maryland Coastal Bays Report Card, however, is an assessment of how we, collectively, are performing - to the benefit or detriment of our bays.

Picture: Lindsay Lohan leaving Urth Cafe in West Hollywood with a large coffee Los Angeles, California - 10.12.07
Lindsay Lohan's father Michael is working as a religious minister helping young people kick addictions to drugs and alcohol, with actor Stephen Baldwin.
Lohan began his training while serving a prison sentence for "aggravated unlicensed driving" and attempted assault.
After his release in March (07) he began working in Long Island, New York - with born-again Christian Baldwin, part of the famous acting clan.
He tells PageSix, "I took a correspondence course while I was away and am now credentialed to be a minister. I'm not licensed or what you call officially ordained, but I am certified.
"Will I stay where I am right now, or am I going to go further into ministry or what, I can't quite say. It depends on where things are going. But I want to give back. I want to rescue young people. I want to help them. I want to show them the way. I'm a drug, alcohol and rehab counselor. It's called Teen Challenges. And working here side by side with me is Stephen Baldwin."

Duplas Al Sharq to increase production by 33% this year
Duplas Al Sharq LLC, a Dubai-based plastic manufacturing facility, intends to increase its production by 33% during the current year. Duplas is a subsidiary of Emirates Investment & Development PSC.
The company has injected a further Dh5 million in the existing Dh50 million plant to enhance product range. The move is aimed at meeting the ever increasing demand for plastic bottles in the region. Currently, 80% of the company production caters to the demands of lubricants industries. It is looking to expand in other sectors such as detergents and disinfectants cosmetics, healthcare, juices, dairy and water.
Mohammed Nofal, General Manager of Duplas, said: "With the addition of new parts our production capability will increase manifold. We produced 30 million bottles last year and intend to improve our production to 40 million units this year. We have an impressive client list which has local as well as international brands. Some of our clients are Reckitt Benckiser, Dabur International, United Grease & Lubricants, Stanley Trading, Pride International, AXCL Gulf, Emirates Industry for Camel Milk."
He added as the market for plastic industry in the region is growing at the rate of 15% per year, the company hopes to boost its market share in the region through the new initiative.
Currently, Duplas is exporting only 15% of its output in the region, Africa and Pakistan but intends to touch the 30% mark this year. The products are constantly monitored to keep abreast with the highest industry standards and compete at the regional and the international level. The company achieved ISO 9001-2000 certification in its second year of operation.
Nofal raved: "Our goal is to dominate the Middle East and Gulf markets by increasing our reach further and thus plan to enter a totally new segment - plastics for building and construction industry."

Wayne Rooney has vowed to do himself "justice" during the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ after admitting he was well below his best in Germany four years ago.
Rooney was playing catch-up during the last tournament after suffering a broken foot in the April before in a tackle by Chelsea's Paolo Ferreira at Stamford Bridge and, by his own admission, he was lacking the sharpness required for a FIFA World Cup.
However, Rooney feels in a more upbeat mood now, despite England only managing to draw their opening game with the USA, and the Manchester United star admits it will be "more or less down to me" to score the goals if England are to achieve glory next month.
"I feel a lot more comfortable and more positive this time than in Germany," said Rooney. "With the last World Cup, I didn't train with the lads beforehand, and didn't play in any of the warm-up games because of my injury. I got thrown straight into a few games and you know you are not match fit.
I'm hoping this World Cup I can do myself justice. I am happy. I feel good.
"I didn't feel that I did myself justice and I'm hoping this World Cup I can do myself justice. I am happy. I feel good and the way the lads have trained, we are looking good and sharp."
Rooney has hit the target 25 times in 61 appearances for England, although he has managed only one international goal in the last 12 months - against Croatia at Wembley. He is confident, however, that the sequence will end sooner rather than later.
"The fact I've not scored for England for a while is not really a concern," he said. "I'd like to score. As a forward you want to score goals. I don't mind not scoring if we win. But I know for us to win, it will be more or less down to me to score the goals - whether it is now or later in the competition. I hope I go on a real scoring run when I get my next goal. It is nice for a forward to score goals and hopefully I can get one on Friday."
Rooney insists he is happy to play within whatever system Fabio Capello opts to start with against Algeria, feeling equally at home in a lone striking role or alongside either Emile Heskey, Peter Crouch or Jermain Defoe.
He said: "It is down to the manager to decide. I will play wherever he wants me to play. Throughout the qualifying campaign, it worked really well with myself and Emile so if that is how he wants to play, I am happy with that. I enjoy playing there so I have no problems with that. But I feel comfortable whether with a partner or on my own. I am happy either way."

3rd & 4th of July – San Mateo Highlands
Fireworks, Parade, & Festival
Fourth of July is the biggest holiday of the year at the San Mateo Highlands, a nice little neighborhood near Highways 280 & 92, in San Mateo, CA. See map below.
This event started way back in 1960. It is for the neighborhood only and attended by almost all the neighbors, their children who return for it every year, and their children's children. Festivities begin with a bang on the night of July 3rd with fireworks in the local grade school yard. A footrace, parade, and festival at the neighborhood recreation center are held the next morning, July 4th.
Highlands Fireworks
The fireworks display start just after dark, about 9 pm, on July 3rd at Highlands Elementary School, 2320 Newport Street, San Mateo (enter from Bunker Hill Dr between Lexington Ave and Yorktown Rd). It can sometimes get foggy and cold so to be safe adults should bring their parkas even though many kids will still be wearing shorts. Also, plan to park a few blocks away and walk to get there … in 2013 there were over 2000 attendees and their cars. Some neighbors get there as early as 4pm to reserve a spot.
Attendees (it is for the neighborhood only) are mainly neighbors and hundreds of their children & grandchildren who "ooh" and "aah" at the surprisingly good and long fireworks. Rousing music is played throughout to enhance the festive spirit. In 2012 there was a special treat before the fireworks; the Stanford Marching Band showed up and did their thing!
For an hour or two before the fireworks many children and neighbors gather to meet and greet and listen to patriotic music. Home-made cookies, drinks, etc., are provided by the local PTA and other local fund-raising groups.
Highlands Parade, Festival, and Footrace
A footrace, "big" parade, and festival are held the next morning, July 4th, at Highlands Recreation Center, 1851 Lexington Ave, San Mateo. See map below.
The 4k footrace around the neighborhood starts at 8:30 am. The parade begins at 10:00 am followed after prizes are awarded at 11:00 am by midway activities such as midway games, BBQ, family swim race events, raffle tickets, and dunking of several well-known locals who can take a joke.
The parade is only a few blocks long but still lasts a while and is quite entertaining for children. Besides local kids doing their thing on tricycles, in bands, on floats, etc., there are several San Mateo politicos such as county supervisors slowly riding by in convertibles. Many fire engines and police cars, complete with sirens, drive by as well. Plenty of candy is thrown to the children sitting on the curb. It's a great time to wander around and talk with neighbors you haven't seen for a while.
The San Mateo Highlands Neighborhood
The neighborhood consists of over 700 Eichler homes built in the late 1950s. They are sought out by enthusiasts of "California Modern" architecture for their Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design. Every year the Eichler Home Tour given by the PTA, showing beautifully remodeled modern interiors of approximately 10 local homes, is usually sold out early. The neighborhood also enjoys beautiful views and great access to the ocean (Half Moon Bay in 15 minutes), San Francisco (30 minutes) and Silicon Valley.
This is an unusually tight-knit community. Most neighbors have done a renovation and thus enjoy discussing with each one their common challenges. A highly regarded elementary school, an active community recreation center (with a large beautiful swimming pool, new day-care center, and many activities), and a very nice little community church are additional focal points. Regularly walking the neighborhood, often with a dog or two who want to stop for greetings, is another common recreation in which many neighbors regularly participate.
Because of its natural beauty, coolish temperatures, and terrific access (to work throughout the Bay area, the ocean, and San Francisco) many early owners stayed permanently and eventually retired here … and later their children purchased homes in the Highlands as well. This is true even for retirees who have lived all over the world and could easily afford to live most anywhere. It all helps make for an unusually stable, sophisticated, eclectic, and friendly mix of people.

It's all about the interceptions with Eli, we know what the deal is why he's not in the game when he clearly had the better season LOL

It's all about the interceptions with Eli, we know what the deal is why he's not in the game when he clearly had the better season LOL
Yeah I'm not willing to go that stupid like Bayless. I like yourself, will drink heavily with friends and hope for a good game in 2 weeks
As I said in the other thread, underachiever thy name is Andy Dalton
From top to bottom their organization knows what it takes to remain competitive and in the hunt year after year. They really cant be blamed for owning their division when the other organizations...
He has an uncanny sense of awareness of what is around him, good or bad. I can't really define it.
"I can't really define it. You can't really coach it. It's an awareness that all great...
Thanks, also how could I forget Andy Dalton. The poster boy for underachievers with a defense and running game around him.
I would like to add to this debate on not understanding knocking Wilson for having a defense/running game and clamoring for Luck to have a defense (I agree by the way) so he can succeed. Many other...
Also Reese goes into more detail with Mike Francesa today about his press conference. Needless to say, Fewell (not mentioned by name) is on notice for his inability to make this defense make a stop...
Reese has called Eli out before for being skittish. He is not afraid to let his opinion be heard as he shouldn't.
I'll believe it when I see it with my own 2 eyes in a game that Kiwi has less snaps than both Moore and Ayers combined
Nice stand D now O put the game away
Amazing how this team can be without the dumb mistakes.
Cruz Salsa Time You have finally arrived for the season
At least the D is getting off on 3rd downs.
Folks you can't make this **** up just WOW
Surprised he didn't break away though
CRUZZZ that's what you do
Thoughts for your family
good stop D on 3rd down
Good teams score in that position and we have been killing ourselves
Did you miss where we had the momentum before that Jennings fumble. Cardinals were reeling on defense before that.
Also when are we going to start getting on the top paid wide out of this team continuously dropping balls? For all his inconsistency, Eli played well enough to win and drive his team to score at will...
Yeah these "leaks" need to be corrected and soon before this season is lost. Thank goodness it's still early though.
True, getting a pass rush and JPP is looking good
This should be a weekly segment here on the forum. Mods make it so,....... not really though.

It should. Religion is a business, and businesses don't succeed without advertising. Even better, they sell a product that is in no way quantifiable and doesn't even get delivered until you're a corpse.

ATHENS - With the Arizona Cardinals preparing for the Super Bowl, 86-year-old Charley Trippi is as giddy as a 21-year-old rookie, practically bouncing down the steps to his basement.The star of the 1947 Chicago Cardinals 'Dream Backfield' has the room dressed in Cardinals red and white, Georgia red and black and decorated throughout with memorabilia of his Hall of Fame career. But Trippi's focus this week is squarely on Sunday's game. He has waited six decades for his beloved Cardinals to play for their first NFL championship since his 1947 rookie season. 'Well, I never lost hope,' he says, 'but I was a little apprehensive there for a long time.' Through his nine-year career as a Cardinals player, five years as an assistant coach and lifetime as a long-suffering fan, Trippi said he remained loyal. 'I spent 14 years with them, he said. 'I have to be loyal to them. To me, that was like being at home with the Cardinals and I've always had a good relationship with them.' He said he would have seized the chance to see the Super Bowl in person, but no ticket or invitation surfaced. Trippi plans to watch the game at home with a few friends. He's not complaining. Trippi, the Heisman runner-up to Glenn Davis during his career at Georgia, says he usually watches Bulldogs games on TV instead of making use of his box at Sanford Stadium only a few miles away. He is certainly able to travel; he recently attended an autograph show in Dallas and is scheduled for a Feb. 20 appearance in Phoenix with Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner. As for who will win Sunday, Trippi says when he closes his eyes he visualizes the underdog Arizona Cardinals beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. He says the key to Arizona's success will be the Cardinals' ability to keep Pittsburgh's pass rushers away from Warner. 'My thinking is if Kurt Warner gets adequate protection on his passing game he will have an excellent chance of winning the game,' he said. 'He's been there before. He has a pretty good feel for the game. If he sticks to his high-percentage passing game, it will be a great asset for them, rather than try to get wild with throwing 50-yard passes. I like him. He plays a nice controlled type game.' In Trippi's dream, Warner wouldn't have to shoulder the load; Trippi is wearing his No. 62 and helping the Cardinals win. 'Oh, I score when I dream,' he said. 'There's no doubt about it. I score! It's amazing the way you feel when you're dreaming all the time. Man, you're a great football player when you dream.' The dreams are filled with more than just fiction. He says his dreams also include replays of his career highlights, including his starring role in the 1947 championship game. The 6-foot, 190-pound Trippi scored on a 44-yard run and a 75-yard punt return in the Cardinals' 28-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on a frozen Comiskey Park field in Chicago. 'He was a fresh rookie, but we all gathered around him because of his talents,' said Vince Banonis, who was a lineman on the team, in a telephone interview Wednesday from his home in Southfield, Mich. 'Charley came in and he was the backbone of our team.'

Berry Sakharof Coming to Toronto for Yom Ha'atzmaut
This will be the first time the Israeli rocker performs in Toronto.
By: Culture Staff
Isareli rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Berry Sakharof will be playing a show in Toronto for Yom Ha'atzmaut (the national Independence Day of Israel) on April 20. This will be the first time the Israeli rocker performs in Toronto.
Born in Izmir, Turkey in 1957, Sakharof immigrated to Israel with his family at the age of three. He started his music career at the age of 16 playing in bands with his friends. He first gained public attention in the 1980s as a founding member of the popular Israeli rock band Minimal Compact. The band broke off in the later '80s but Sakharof continued to produce albums.
He'll be joined in Toronto by DJ Mark S1 who will be playing Israeli rock classics throughout the night. The show takes place at On the Rox (1600 Steeles Ave. W.). For more information, visit www.motekproduction.com.

Searching for that special someone...
It's never easy trying to describe yourself, but here it goes! I'm a loyal, caring and an easy-going person. I'm honest and dependable and hope to find somebody who also holds these values in high regard. I don't like when people sugar-coat things, I really respect someone that can be completely open and honest, good or bad. I love going out and having fun but also enjoy a nice relaxing night in. I like to go out to dinner, go to comedy shows, and concerts. I love to travel and would love to have a partner in crime to travel with. My friends and family are very important to me and I love spending time with them. I enjoy cooking and baking. I like creating things and being crafty. I love to laugh so I like to watch shows or movies that make me laugh. Modern Family is quite possibly the funniest show ever. But I'm pretty open to anything. As far as what I'm looking for; someone who is kind, caring, and supportive; someone who can make me laugh and who is affectionate; someone that is drama-free and does not play games. Being able to communicate is very important as well. Just someone that I can connect with and share similar interests with. In a nutshell, I'm looking for a down to earth guy who ultimately wants a relationship and who will be somebody that I can share my life with.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
