The Acekard 2i Card for Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi & DSi XL is a popular high-end slot-1 flash cart solution that allows you to launch games, run applications and play media directly from the device. Simply place your files onto either a micro SD or SDHC memory card (sold separately), insert the micro SD into your Acekard 2i, your cart into your DS, and turn the system on. Playing games and media has never been easier!
The Acekard 2i, with its custom AKAIO operating system offers unique features that you won't find on most other carts. Features such as Wi-Fi updates for the cheat database, loaders, and wi-fi plugin. Homebrew soft-reset, Wii connectivity, as well as being one of the few flash carts that allows users to upgrade the core firmware. If you're in the market for a robust and feature-rich flash cart for the Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi or DSi XL, the Acekard 2i is the one for you.
PLEASE NOTE: While the Acekard 2i is compatible with the DSi and DSi XL (1.4 firmware and above), the cart may need to be patched with firmware update that enables this compatibility. You will need a regular Nintendo DS or DS Lite to perform this update, or alternatively we can do it if you choose the Premium Flashing Service.
The Acekard 2i received the Golden Award on GBAtemp at its time of review:
|It's a tried and tested cart that simply does its job, and well.

I brought Acekard 2i in the UK,thenNDSgear moved to the USA to save being closed down,all of my family now have this card as it does what it says, flashed already and loads the games so quick and clear, it is very cheap for what it does compared to some other cards,I would recommend NDsgear shop to all as the service is brilliant, they might not be the biggest but they are definatly the best, if like me you are a novice they are so friendly and help you every step of the way to get going,also if you have ANY kind of problem with your card, no if and buts they will replace it for you,but they check ALL of their cards before they leave their site,this Acekard2i card is by far the best card for nds on the market, loads games quick and fast.1 out of 1 users found this review useful.

The Acekard 2i is amazing. I bought it flashed and it came with everything I needed, all I did was download and play.1 out of 1 users found this review useful.

I have experience with several flashlinkers and Akaio on Acekard is simply the best of all.
Thanks to automatic "Anti-Piracy"-Bypass, you can instantly play (almost) every ROM.
The firmware is under real development, new features get added almost every update.
Akaio is very fast, and you experience no lags in games. That's important.
Another important point: Acekard saves power. The Nintendo DS is a handheld console you'd like to use in a train or in an autobus.
Akaio does a quite good job with older or slower Micro SD Cards as well. When other flashlinker refuse to work, Acekard will do the job.
In 10 years, Acekard is going be the flashcard that everybody remembers, just like EZ Flash for GBA gaming.
Chances are high that your $15 Acekard will still work in 10 years, since it doesn't have some fancy parts that can easily break.

I loved my Acekard2i (to death it seems D: )
I accedentally broke mine, nothing at all to do with the card itself. While I had it, I had a lot of use from it. I think I only had one homebrew fail on me, but it was a faulty program so it doesn't count. This card was awesome. It was the best card i've had...
original r4,
supercard lite,
m3 Zero - sakura,
Of all these, The Acekard was my favorite and had the BEST compatability. :3 I'm actually going to get another to replace my old one!
Have fun to everyone who buys one, I reccomend the AKAIO software, gbatemp should have some info on that.
Posted by Jazz on 18th Sep 2010
I was skeptical when ordering because of the long shipping wait, which said 2-5 weeks. I purchased the Acekard 2i + 4gb microsd already updated, and was able to plugin out of the box. I was pleased that it was shipped on Sept. 10th and received it today(Sept 17th.)
Great value for such a beast of a card. I have already added tons of games, and can't wait to use WiFi on it. It has played every single game i've added flawlessly with ease. I am very impressed and recommend not only this card, but this site for your Acekard purchase!
Posted by Joanna on 7th Sep 2010
I tested out my Acekard I have recieved from Shoptemp, and it is very good. It is a legit acekard, so you can trust Shoptemp!
But the only thing I didn't like was the sticker placement, but no need to worry, just peel off the sticker and it will look good as new ! If your willing to buy an Acekard, buy it from Shoptemp!
Reliable, Cheap and of course free shipping!

The PRO'S: Of the Acekard 2i is that it is very affordable at $14.95 with Free shipping from this site
It is compatible with the Ds lite and Dsi which is a bonus. It is compatible with much more games and applications then the DSTT.
99% compatible with games, launches games in a snap, no lag in gameplay or in wifi.
It just does the the job at an affordable price at: http://www.shoptemp.com/?ref=6593
It has a very good construction feel, and does not feel cheap, There is also a cheat application that works very well.
And also plays Media which is even better!! :D
And also the Firmware is always being upgraded to work in todays time, thanks to the AKAIO Team.
The CONS: No problems. Its PERFECT :D One down side it does not have real time saving.
Overall: This is the BEST and budget friendly running at $14.99 with DSi compatible with FREE shipping!!!
More games work on the acekard 2i compared to the DSTT!! Go to to get your acekard 2i
I highly recommend this acekard 2i to any one that wants a straight forward card that does the job and then some.
Posted by David on 7th Aug 2010
Ordered this having no idea where to order from, fearing every shop I see won't be legit. Well, this place is and has really fast (and free) delivery too. I see my Acekard 2i on my desk right now. Unfortunately it's not updated for 1.4, and I don't have a DS Lite, so no idea what I'm going to do about that xD But it's a really trustworthy site, go for it.0 out of 0 users found this review useful.

There comes a time in every season when freshmen stop being freshmen, and Arizona coach Sean Miller says his young 'uns have reached the tipping point. He talked to his freshman quartet about that on the Washington road trip as the Wildcats swept the two games for the first time since 2006. "All that experience will start to benefit us, and the biggest reason is they're the greatest kids in the world and they work so hard," Miller said Saturday night on his postgame radio show on 1290-AM after a 79-65 victory over Washington State.

'Frasier' (1993 – 2004) is now in the comedy graveyard (aka on constant repeat on digital channels), but unlike say 'Everybody Loves Raymond', it won't drop your IQ down to the level of yoghurt. If anything, a bit of the Crane brothers on a afternoon will probably boost your vocabulary along with a few belly laughs.
Few would bet that a comedy about fussy, camp and snobby psychiatrists would be a hit with the US public – but against the odds, Frasier went on to the most successful TV spin-off ever.
By the way, how uncomfortable does this 'natural' photoshoot look?
You can just about hear them screaming for their agents through those forced smiles.
The character of Frasier Crane was first introduced to 'Cheers' in 1984 as one of Diane's many unsuccessful dates and he was only meant to hang around for six episodes.
Producers liked the character so much that Frasier stayed supping pints in that bar until 'Cheers' ended in 1993. His ice-cold wife Lilith was later introduced, here's their first kiss.
When 'Cheers' ended Frasier became the unlikely subject of a spin-off series set in Seattle.
Over 11 series we saw the booming psychiatrist grow closer to his ex-cop dad, have weekly romantic misunderstandings, drink gallons of fancy coffee, see his brother lust after and then marry his dad's physiotherapist, endure a decade-long feud with a Jack Russell, and finally fly to Chicago to find love.
Here's the last ever scene.
But what has happened to the cast since?
Find out after the jump!
Kelsey Grammer – Frasier Crane
Between 'Cheers' and 'Frasier', Kelsey played the role of Dr Frasier Crane for 20 years, something that probably led an audience to believe that both men are similar in character, they are not (see coke habit and wives below).
During the 90's Kelsey also popped up in 'The Simpsons' as murderous Sideshow Bob.
Since 'Frasier' ended, Kelsey's had a few flop sitcoms with 'Back To You' and 'Hank', but he won a Golden Globe for his role in the drama 'Boss'.
He now has plans to make a sitcom with 'Bad Boys' star Martin Lawrence. I'm not holding out high hopes for that one.
In cinema, he was Beast in 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (above) and is set to play the villain in the upcoming 'Transformers 4′.
While Frasier had a bit of a caffeine and opera addiction, Kelsey went for something stronger. He was arrested several times due to his big drink and cocaine problem during the 90's and even spent time in jail for cocaine possession. Cast and crew on 'Frasier' staged interventions a few times, writer Dan O'Shannon explains what it was like on set
"He would ooze into the studio, his life all out of sorts. Jimmy would say "Action," and he would snap into Frasier and expound in this very erudite dialogue and be pitch-perfect. And Jimmy would yell "Cut!" and he would ooze back into Kelsey—glazed-over eyes, half asleep, going through whatever he was going through. It was the most amazing transformation I'd ever seen."
He has been married four times (a dance instructor, stripper, former Playboy model and air-hostess) and has five children and one grandchild.
He and his most recent wife Kayte recently attracted criticism for bringing their daughter to the Playboy mansion for party as they couldn't find a babysitter.
David Hyde Pierce – Niles Crane
You may not have seen David as often but you've probably heard him. He voiced a stick insect in 'A Bug's Life', Doctor Doppler in 'Treasure Planet' and Abe Sapien in 'Hellboy'. He also joined Kesley Grammer in an episode of 'The Simpsons', playing Sideshow Bob's brother Cecil.
DId you know he was also in 'Sleepless in Seattle'? He played Meg Ryan's brother in a brief scene.
He is married to TV writer, director and producer Brian Hargrove. He first publicly referenced the relationship while winning a Tony award in 2007.
He and Frasier co-star John Mahoney are godparents to Jane Leeves (Daphne's) son.
Jane Leeves – Daphne Moon
Before 'Frasier', Jane had a role on 'The Benny Hill Show' in the early 80's.
She went to the States and landed a recurring role on 'Murphy Brown' before getting the part of Daphne.
Since 'Frasier', she set up a production company with former co-star Peri Gilpin (Roz) called 'Bristol Cities' (cockney rhyming slang for 'titties' apparently). They made a US version of 'The Vicar of Dibley' starring Kirsty Alley but it didn't take off.
She returned to acting with a guest role as a therapist on 'Desperate Housewives' and now stars alongside Betty White in 'Hot In Cleveland'.
Jane has two children with her husband TV exec Marshall Coben, one of the pregnancies was explained in 'Frasier' as Daphne suddenly gaining weight. It was not very convincing.
She also lives beside her best friend and former co-star Peri Gilpin.
Peri Gilpin – Roz Doyle
Roz could have looked very different – Lisa Kudrow from 'Friends' was originally cast in the part but was recast during filming of the pilot episode.
Since 'Frasier', Peri has appeared in guest roles on 'Desperate Housewives', 'Law and Order', 'CSI' and 'Medium'. She won a Gracie award for her role on 'Make It Or Break It'.
If you're a gamer you may have heard her voice Jane Proudfoot in 'Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within'.
She has twins with her husband, an artist called Christian Vincent. She lives beside her former co-star and best friend Jane Leeves, who she set up a production company with.
John Mahoney – Martin Crane
As you may have guessed from the name, John has an Irish dad, but you may not have known that he grew up in Manchester.
His older sister Vera had moved to the States as a war bride and she agreed to sponsor John so he could come over. He studied at Quincy University, joined the US army, taught English and then became an editor in a medial journal. He later took up acting as he wasn't happy in his career.
Aside from 'Frasier', John also voiced Dr Rober Terwilliger in an episode of 'The Simpsons', playing the father of Sideshow Bob and Sideshow Cecil (Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce).
Since the show he has mostly focused on theatre work but has guest starred in 'Hot In Cleveland', 'ER', and 'In Treatment'.
He has never married and says watching his parents argued turned him off the idea.
Dan Butler – Bulldog
Like his co-star David Hyde Pierce, Dan is openly gay and while in his 20's he wrote a play about coming out called 'The Only Thing Worse You Could Have Told Me'.
Since the show he has had guest roles in 'House', 'Malcolm in the Middle' and 'Without a Trace'.
His long-term partner is producer Richard Waterhouse.
Moose – Eddie
Moose won the role on 'Frasier' after only six month of training. He actually received more fan-mail than all his human co-stars.
Moose's son Enzo took over the role of 'Eddie' in season 8, and Moose spent the last six and a half years of his life in retirement with his trainers and Jill, the dog from 'As Good As It Gets'. He died in 2006.
Moose's other son Moosie lives with Frasier co-star Peri Gilpin. Enzo went on to star with Frankie Muniz in 'My Dog Skip', he died in 2010.
The cast of 'Frasier', we salute you!

Hey all, I put together my first art zine/minibook together recently, and I'm kinda hooked now. I'm a cartoonist and lino printmaker, so the stuff I make is on the higher end of the production value scale. REAL/SUPER is, I guess, a perzine at its core, but it's really just me visually exploring themes of gender and (a)sexuality through the medium of giant robots. 01's available in my store, and I'm already planning the next one. Cheers! http://lofrequency.net/post/50318161198/aquapunk-real-super-is-now-...
hello Queer zinesters !c :)
New issue of Alex is out! Alex is a perzine that explores whatever is on my mind. Gender issues and queer issues always come up. Down with trades. Check it: http://www.sleepingcreatures.com/alex.html
SO, we're Frickstarting our own fundraiser! And in true zinester style, we're doing it ourselves. Please follow the link and consider helping QZAP with a donation and by sharing this with your queer zine loving friends:

Great so far.
By Stump Jumper
from Atlanta
Just got to start using the range after four months of remodeling. Every thing on it works well.
Not a quality product
By Roger S
from Parrish, Fl.
The cook top is easily scratched even when care is taken not to slide cookware across it.The self cleaning feature of the oven is not effective in areas around the door or on the door glass. It is necessary to gently remove grease from the glass with a razor scraper befor cleaning or the grease will cause black run marks on the glass.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Easy to operate
By NY Marge
from Myrtle Beach, SC
My first time using an electric range, and I must admit it was easier than I expected. I've always used gas, but this new home came with electric only. I still prefer cooking with gas but am overall satisfied with the performance.
good stove
By Hand33
from DeRidder La
I purchased this stove a week ago and have not had any problems and it cooks great
Review, New Range
By larry
from Red Oak, IA
I choose that new range is price reason and great quality. It is a simple not need luxury or more expensive. The range and cook are good match on any features we usually we know range. The range knows cook and persons needed daily. Good range enough i like it enough. smile
So far, so good
By Mikelle
from Roosevelt, UT
We bought this back in the spring of 2015. We really like it so far. Everything works great, the oven cooks accurately and it's easy to clean. I only wish the storage for pans underneath was bigger.
Quick heat up and easy cleaning
By D. Man
from Lincoln NE
I have been using this range in my new home purchased in April. The solid flat heating surfaces are quick to get to temp and when the meal is complete, it is very easy to clean. Very happy with the purchase.
By CHIC
from Amana, iowa
Can not keep the stove top clean always looks like it has a film on it, have to constantly clean it. Nothing I use (even stove top cleaner from Whirlpool) helps
Great features

The Game: Lubbock Monterey Plainsmen (3-5, 1-2) at Amarillo High (4-4, 2-1), 8 tonight in a District 2-5A game at Dick Bivins Stadium.
Tickets: $6.
Tuning in: KGNC (710-AM).
Last Meeting: Lubbock Monterey 45, AHS 31, in 2006.
Last week: Monterey lost to Lubbock High, 16-14. Amarillo High lost to Lubbock Coronado, 31-21.
What To Watch For: Amarillo High can clinch a playoff berth with a win. ... AHS will feature a more balanced pass/rush look, while Monterey will go Wishbone at times. ... AHS running back Thomas Fraser leads the 2-5A rushing race with 636 yards. ... Monterey relies on a running by committee philosophy, with Kyle Young leading the way at 245 yards. ... AHS quarterback Landon Brown has thrown for 1,193 yards. Monterey quarterback John Paul Floyd has thrown for 966 yards. ... AHS linebacker and team-leading tackler Peter Hargrave is expected to play tonight. He missed the Coronado game with an injury.
What AHS coach Brad Thiessen says: "Monterey's sense of urgency is going to be at its peak. They will bring their best game. You always want a sense of urgency because it makes you perform better and with more crispness and more focus. They are going to bring their ''A'' game. We have to match all of that."
Harris Line: Pick'em.

South Carolina forward Chris Langkow came to the Stingrays with a reputation of being a solid two-way forward.
In the past week, Langkow has turned himself into the Stingrays top offensive threat.
Langkow scored again, his fourth goal in three games, to lead the Stingrays past Florida, 3-2, Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 3,088 at the North Charleston Coliseum.
The Stingrays, who snapped a modest two-game losing skid, improved to 16-18-4 (36 points) and moved into fourth place in the ECHLs South Division. The Everblades fell to 15-13-7 (37 points).
In dire need of a centerman, the Stingrays traded for Langkow back in November. In 24 games with the Stingrays, Langkow has nine goals and 10 assists. Langkow has five points, including two short-handed goals, in his last three games.
When we got Chris, we didnt expect him to be our go-to guy offensively, but we wanted him to be a reliable guy, especially in our defensive zone, said Stingrays coach Spencer Carbery. When Chris can chip in offensively, its an added bonus for us. Hes been able to find the back of the net in the last couple of weeks.
South Carolina goalie Jeff Jakaitis, who is the reigning ECHL Goalie of the Year, picked up his first victory of the season, stopping 26 shots. Jakaitis, who improved to 1-2-2 on the season, missed the first half of the season recovering from a knee injury he suffered last season.
We knew it was going to take a little while for Jeff to get his game back after an injury like he had last season, Carbery said. I dont think Jeff has been very happy with his game lately. He was solid all game, made a couple of nice saves in the first period and then did a good job with his rebound control. Any time you can get a win, its going to help your confidence.
The Stingrays grabbed a 1-0 lead on Robby Dees goal midway through the first period. Dee got the puck along the right boards, stick-handled past an Everblades defender and ripped a shot past Florida goalie John Muse for his fifth goal of the season.
The Stingrays got two goals in the second period, one from Luka Vidmar on the power play and the other from Langkow to take a 3-2 lead going into the final period. The Everblades got two goals from Brayden Irwin in the second period.
The Everblades had a couple of scoring chances in the third period, including one in the waning seconds from Irwin, but couldnt get the tying goal.
The Stingrays had lost two one-goal games earlier in the week to Gwinnett (3-2) and Greenville (2-1).
Its a big win, a big two points for us, Carbery said. It was nice to be on the other end of one of those one-goal games.

Bike riding is a great way to get exercise and fresh air and share time as a family. But before you and the kids rush out and start pedaling, there's an important factor that you need to consider — safety.
Bicycle helmet use should not be optional for anyone in your family, no matter where you are or how short the ride. In many states it's the law.
Here's why: Many bike accidents involve a head injury, so a crash could mean permanent brain damage or death for someone who doesn't wear one while riding. In fact, each year in the United States, about half a million kids are seriously injured in bicycle-related accidents, and most of those injuries could have been avoided if a helmet was worn. To protect against brain injury, make sure your kids wear a correctly fitting helmet on every ride.
Here are some things to keep in mind when buying a helmet:
You should be able to get help finding a well-fitting helmet and adjusting it properly at any bicycle store.
When kids wear a helmet, make sure that the straps are fastened. Also make sure they don't wear any other hat underneath it.
Be sure to replace any helmet made before 1999. If your child hits any surface hard while wearing a helmet, replace it — helmets lose their capacity to absorb shock after taking serious hits.
A few bike helmets can be used as protection for other activities, but in general, they're best suited to biking. Most helmets are made for one specific type of activity — for example, special helmets also are made for inline skating, baseball, and snowmobiling.
Kids should not wear any helmet when they're on a playground or climbing a tree — there is a risk of strangulation from the chin strap during these types of activities.
What kids wear when riding a bike is also very important for safety:
Here are some must-know safety tips to teach kids:
Left turn
Right turn
Right turn alternative
Check your child's bike at least once each season to keep it safe and well-maintained.
Be sure to check:
One of the best ways to help kids learn safe bike riding is to set a good example by following the rules of the road yourself. Most important, always wear your helmet.
Go for bike rides with your kids so you can show them what safe riding looks like. It's also a great way to stay active as a family and get valuable together time that you'll all enjoy!

FAIRVIEW TOWNSHIP — West Shore School District residents will pay more in real estate taxes next year.
West Shore School Board approved the district's final general fund budget for 2014-15 in a split 6-3 vote Thursday night.
Cumberland County's tax rate will increase by 0.28 mills next year for a total of 9.6 mills. This means the owner of a property assessed at $100,000 will pay another $28 in taxes next year for a total of $960.
York County's tax rate will increase by 0.07 mills for a total of 12.59 mills. The owner of a property assessed at $100,000 will pay an additional $7 in real estate tax for a total of $1,259.
Voting against next year's $101 million fiscal plan were Board Members Brian Guistwhite, Abigail Tierney and Christopher Weidenhammer.
Proponents complained that transportation costs are increasing by 20 percent despite the school board's decision in December to outsource its bus drivers to First Student, a move that district officials initially said would cut costs.
Elementary education director Thomas Haupt, who manages the district's transportation department, said last month that the $600,000 increase results from the district leasing six new buses this year from First Student and an additional six buses for the 2014-15 school year. Originally, the district had planned to purchase only two used buses this year at a lower cost.
Several board members also said the district must reinstate a budget committee so the board can give adequate feedback to administrators before the budget is presented to them in a finalized form.
Board Member Frank Kambic said he disagreed.
"This is our eighth budget meeting this year. I know this isn't a perfect budget, but I feel like we turned a corner. Here we finally have the first budget in a long time in which we're not cutting any programs," Kambic said.
Board President Anthony Tezik would confer with the district's solicitor about possibly reinstating the committee. Board members said on Thursday that the committee was dissolved on the basis of "legal advice."
Tax installment payment plan approved
In other news, the West Shore School Board approved an installment plan for the district real estate tax payments beginning July 1.
The state's Taxpayer Relief Act requires all school boards to implement payment installment plans by June 30.
West Shore's first payment installment is due by Aug. 31, with a second payment due by Sept. 30 and the final due Oct. 31.
If the first payment is missed, the installment plan is no longer an option for that tax year. If the second or third payment is late, a 10 percent penalty is applied.

Family denies murdered son has links to the IRA
Published 26/10/2009
The family of Wayne Doherty, who was gunned down earlier this year, have said that their son wasn't connected to the Provisional IRA, amid claims that Dublin's latest killing was revenge for his death.
Jason Egan, a 23-year-old father of two, was shot four times as he closed his family shop in Mulhuddart, Dublin, at 8.30pm on Friday. Gardai suspected that Egan's death was retaliation for the murder of Mr Doherty (32) last July.
It is believed he was singled out by the gunman because of his close association with the prime suspect in the Doherty killing.
It had been claimed that some of Mr Doherty's associates had strong connections to the Provisional IRA and had vowed to avenge his death. But Mr Doherty's father, John, said that his son had no connections whatsoever to the IRA.
"As far as I'm concerned he had nothing to do with the Provisionals," he said. "This act was not carried out on behalf of our family. Some of the reports claimed that Wayne was connected to the Provisionals.
"That's not the case. I have already extended my sympathies to the Egan family. I know what they're going through."
Mr Egan was a popular member of the Mulhuddart community and was active in Corduff Football Club. Locals described him as a respected businessman.
He was locking up the family newsagents and deli, Centrepoint, located at the junction of Parlickstown and Ladyswell Roads when a gunman approached him and fired shots from a handgun into his body.
The scene of the crime remained cordoned off yesterday, with flowers placed near where the incident occurred, and gardai continued to comb the area for clues.
The victim's mother, Carmel, who lived 100 metres from the shop, and who is understood to have arrived on the scene when her son was being attended to by medics, was too upset to talk yesterday.

Wasn't the ugly duckling really a swan?
Muscovy ducks are the ugly and sometimes irritating ducks that live in parks and around ponds. They don't fly much and like to cross the street at the exact moment you're driving down it. I've often wondered if they'd be good for eating as I was sitting and waiting for them to cross!
Turns out, they are! Apparently many people raise them for eating. There are so many wild though, I wondered if any of our hunters here on MDA have done any "urban hunting" or gone looking for their eggs? They are considered an invasive species here in the United States and from what I saw, their removal is desirable although I don't know if hunting them would require waiting until some sort of hunting season.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Wasn't the ugly duckling really a swan?
Wrong country, but over here (UK) pest species are usually "open season" i.e. whenever you like.
Worth checking out!
Just depends how urban you really are as to whether you'll upset the neighbours?
Oooor you could have a couple of "car accidents"
lol, I totally could! I drive a big ol truck though, and I wouldn't want to damage it beyond eating.
They gather around ponds around dusk, I saw some last night while riding my bike. It was very dark...I would need to figure out how to do some ninja duck hunting.

Submission by Mark S. King, My Fabulous Disease.
Crossposted with permission. View the original post here.
It's impossible to overstate the impact Elizabeth Taylor has had on HIV/AIDS awareness and funding since the earliest days of the epidemic (Ms. Taylor died earlier today).
In the early 1980's, when people were still wearing masks and gloves around AIDS patients, Ms. Taylor (Elizabeth to her friends, never Liz) has been at the forefront. She organized the very first "commitment to Life" event in 1984 for AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) — and while doing so, learned her friend Rock Hudson was dying of the disease. She co-founded the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR) in 1985, and her own Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1993.
Oh yeah. And she was an Oscar winning movie star, the likes of which we may never see again.
I watched her walk onstage, in evident pain from chronic back problems, at an APLA event in the late 1980's in Los Angeles. "With every breath of my being," I remember her saying, "I will fight this disease and for the rights of people with AIDS, until the day I die." And that, my friends, is exactly what she did.

The Valentin Haüy Museum and Library
The history of blindness and how it was represented in France and beyond, as well as how the blind were regarded and their struggle for access to culture, education and full citizenship are recounted through the objects and works in the Valentin Haüy Museum and the Valentin Haüy heritage library.
The Valentin Haüy Museum
The history of the blind and of the methods that gave them access to culture.
Edgard Guilbeau created the Valentin Haüy Museum in 1886. Blind from an early age, he was a teacher at the National Institute for the Young Blind (INJA). He sought to collect items made by or for the blind. Maurice de La Sizeranne, also a teacher at the Institute and also blind from an early age, set up the Valentin Haüy association in 1889 and incorporated his friend's exhibition.
Since then, the collection has continually expanded, recounting the struggle for the visually impaired to be recognised, a struggle initiated by Valentin Haüy, who set up the very first school for the blind in 1785.
The Valentin Haüy Museum is no ordinary museum in the sense that its field of research – visual impairment and those who bear it – lies in the domain of difference. Beyond the items on display and the light they shed on the history of changing attitudes, what is at stake here is the status of each human being and of what makes him or her different. The struggle for autonomy of this specific minority exemplifies all the struggles led, from exclusion to integration, in the name of freedom.
On the occasion of the 7th General Assembly of the World Blind Union, a tactile exhibition devoted to Louis Braille was held in Geneva from the 21st to the 23rd August 2008.
The museum provided tactile exhibits tracing the major stages in Louis Braille's life, with nine original items and four copies for the public to acquaint themselves with.
The Valentin Haüy Library
A heritage library
The Valentin Haüy Library is a heritage library devoted to blindness and visual impairment. It boasts many thousand books in "standard text", that is to say printed in normal characters, in contrast to braille books.
The Library caters to all those interested in the history of blindness.
It comprises a unique collection of several thousand books, French and foreign reviews and miscellaneous documents, some of which are extremely old, all related to blindness and visual impairment. It stocks pure literature (novels, biographies, essays, poetry and drama) written by blind authors, books written by the sighted about the blind, various works dealing with psychology, education, everyday life, art, religion, history, medicine, social issues and handicaps in general.
The Library also holds manuscripts. It is a veritable record of the evolution of the condition of the blind over virtually three centuries.
The Valentin Haüy Library does not lend out books but can, where feasible, supply photocopies.

Japanese visitors to the Valentin Haüy Museum - deep feelings shard.
Braille users make up a family on a planetary scale. They owe a deep debt to Louis Braille, their "founding father" and many of them undertake a pilgrimage to pay homage to him.
Among them is Yoshiharu Horikoshi. A linguist and specialist in Western literature, he lectures at the most famous universities in Tokyo. His journey had been planned several months previously and he came from Japan to visit the Valentin Haüy Museum on Tuesday 29th March 2011, barely a fortnight after the tsunami that ravaged his country. He was accompanied by Toshikazu Yamamoto, a sighted university colleague, a psychologist and lecturer in the Department of Education of the Osaka-Kyoiku University.
Brian Edmonds, an English-speaker who is quite familiar with the Museum, was present to act as translator, since the visitors speak very few words of French.
The visit was touching, in both senses of the word. Our visitors are always moved when they can place their hands on the items dating from Louis Braille's time. But also because Brian had brought along a student he helps in her research, Marion, who lost her sight relatively recently, and who is studying sociology and Japanese. Thus she was able to welcome Mr Horikoshi and Mr Yamamoto in their mother tongue. At the same time, she discovered our Museum, which is often better known to foreigners that to the French. Yoshiharu Horikoshi had come on the recommendation of his friend Kojiro Hirose, an anthropologist, head of tactile exhibitions in the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka, also blind, who had visited the Museum in 2008 in the run-up to the Bicentenary Celebrations.
On the same day, Mr Horikoshi and Mr Yamamoto went to the nearby National Institute for the Young Blind; naturally the Louis Braille Museum in Coupvray was also on their agenda. Together with lecturers and students of the Osaka-Kyoiku University, they are both members of a group that launched the "Light on Design Project", whose aim is to foster the fulfilment of visually impaired children through the practise of fine arts, a source of pleasure and joy. The numerous photographs taken on their visit to the Museum will, it is hoped, be part of this enterprise.
These exchanges were moments of highly-charged emotion. We wish to thank our Japanese visitors for their gesture, strengthening the bond between our two countries.
Noëlle Roy, curator

LONG BRANCH – Three city police officers disarmed a 45-year-old suicidal woman who threw a knife at them before trying to stab herself, authorities said Thursday.
Police officer Jen Gant, Cpl. Michael McGown and Cpl. Juan Vasquez responded to an Ocean Boulevard residence on Sunday to remove an unwanted person and encountered the woman who refused to leave, Director of Public Safety Jason Roebuck said in an email.
The woman ran into the kitchen, grabbed several steak knives and threw one towards the officers, Roebuck said. She then began screaming, "I just want to die!" and tried to stab herself in the chest, Roebuck said.
Vasquez and McGowan restrained the woman while Gant used her expandable baton to forcibly remove the knife from the woman's grasp, Roebuck said, adding that there were no injuries.
"I want to commend these officers for the restraint they used in what could have been a deadly force situation," Roebuck said. "Their actions brought the ordeal to a safer conclusion then it may have had."
The woman was taken to Monmouth Medical Center Crisis Unit for evaluation.

The National Issue Forums (NIF) is a US-based non partisan, nationwide network of civic, educational, and other organizations and individuals whose common interest is to promote public deliberation in America. NIF sponsors public forums and training institutions for public deliberation." Everyday citizens get to deliberate on various issues through NIF forums. Some of the issues discussed include civil rights, education, energy, government, etc. "Think, Deliberate, Act" is the slogan on the NIF.
In the summer 1981 at the Wing-spread Conference, 17 organizations created the Domestic Policy Association. The Domestic Policy Association was a non partisan nation-wide network that would deliberate each year on 3 pressing issues. The network expanded across the nation, and it provided valuable opportunities for different people to deliberate. Soon, some larger collaborating institutions initiated the forums.
Aimed not just to "talk" about problems, the NIF is a way for people to deliberate, or to have serious discussions on issues. In its early years, NIF depended on Public Agenda, an agency founded by Daniel Yankelovich, to select issues for NIF. Today, however, the process of selecting and framing issues for deliberation is handled by a variety of civic groups and organizations.
NIF forums make use of a moderator, (Melville, Willingham, Dedrick, 2005). While the moderator may not be an expert in the issue being discussed, his or her function is nonetheless important to the discussion. NIF moderators do several things:
1. Introduce issues.
2. Draw participants into discussion by keeping a healthy atmosphere for discussion (i.e., ask participants questions).
3. Encourage participants to consider alternatives carefully.
4. Lead the final segment of the discussion aimed at "reflecting" upon the experience.
In addition, some moderators submit reports on the forums to the National Issues Forums Institute, a research organization that studies deliberative dialogue and shares its findings with policymakers and other decision-makers. These reports, which are available to the public on the institute's website, can provide valuable insight into the public's thinking on a variety of national issues.
Impacts on participants[edit]
People who believe in deliberation believe that a deliberative process is important to any responsible citizen. Overall, NIF is an enriching educational experience. A participant usually gained knowledge on the issues deliberated from the forums at NIF.
The following are the possible impacts of NIF on participants, (Melville, Willingham, Dedrick, 2005):
- Participation in NIF forums heightens interest in specific issues and in public affair and leads to higher levels of public engagement
- Participation in NIF forums broadens the outlook of participants.
- As a result of participating in forums, individuals come to experience themselves in different ways, and they learn new ways of taking part in groups.
- Participation in NIF forums enhances people's sense of themselves as political actors who can make a difference in their communities.
- People construe their self-interest more broadly as a result of taking part in deliberative conversations.
- Deliberation helps people move beyond superficial preferences to consider public judgment.

Italian automaker Fiat is now the majority shareholder in Chrysler, after buying the U.S. government's six-percent share of the company. Automotive News reports that Fiat paid $500 million for the six-percent stake, raising its ownership of Chrysler from 46 to 52 percent.
The deal saw Fiat paying the U.S. Treasury $500 million for its 98,461 Chrysler shares. The repayment comes just less than two years after Chrysler declared bankruptcy, on June 10, 2009. The Treasury initially invested $12.5 billion in Chrysler in 2009, and has so far recovered $11.2 billion from the company.
Chrysler had already repaid about $6.5 million in loans to the U.S. Treasury in late May, allowing Fiat to increase its stake in Chrysler from 30 to 46 percent. Reports suggest that the company's next move will be to purchase the 1.7-percent stake in Chrysler currently held by the Canadian government.
With majority control of the company, Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne will be able to have a direct role in shaping Chrysler's future. Among his plans are a new generation of minivans; according to the Detroit News, Marchionne wants a more flexible platform for the next version of Chrysler's vans, permitting narrower bodies to appeal to European customers, as well as the return of all-wheel drive. Chrysler dropped optional all-wheel-drive systems from its minivans in 2004; the Toyota Sienna is currently the only minivan in the U.S. to offer all-wheel drive.
Marchionne has reportedly accelerated the development of new Chrysler minivans from a 2014 launch to 2013. There will be a traditional-style minivan, as well as a "people carrier." Marchionne has previously said that Chrysler and Dodge versions of the next-gen minivan will be divergent — perhaps one brand will have the "traditional" van and the other the "people carrier." The vans will continue to be built in Windsor, Ontario.
The Detroit News reports that Chrysler's next minivan platform could also spawn a small "lifestyle" pickup truck to be built in North America. No big surprise there: we had previously heard that Dodge would launch a small, unibody truck by 2013, and that it would be built on the same minivan line in Windsor.

Hints from Heloise: Keeping basic landline may be a lifeline
Dear Readers: As cell phones become more and more popular, many people are forgoing landlines completely. But in the event of an emergency, if cell phone towers go out or there is no power to charge your phone, what will you do? Research reveals that you can get basic plain-Jane phone service for $20 or so a month. It's a good backup, and it saves minutes (on your cell bill) for local calls. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: I recently found a cell phone, the second time this has happened. Both were locked, and there was no way to find the owner. My hint is to put an alternate phone number on the inside of the battery cover. I dropped them off at the cellular provider indicated on the front of the phone. -- Dawn B. in Wisconsin
Dear Dawn: Very good point. Some phones may not have a battery "cover," but this is a valuable hint. If your phone doesn't have a removable battery, place a note between the phone and the cover. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: Do you have a way to eliminate pet stains on carpet? -- L.S. in Texas
Dear L.S.: First, you need to get to the area as soon as possible. If it's fresh, you need to blot up as much liquid as you can, using paper towels. Then mix a solution of 1 teaspoon mild dishwashing detergent and a cup of warm water. Dab the stain, working from the outside in. Be sure to not soak the area. Rinse with clean water and blot dry.
Next, mix a solution of 1/3 cup white vinegar and 2/3 cup water, and dab the area. Vinegar will help remove the odor and any detergent that is left behind.
Have other cleaning problems you need help with? I have compiled a handy pamphlet full of my favorite solutions. To order, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Cleaners, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.
To make a simple vinegar-based cleaner for windows and mirrors, mix 1/2 cup of vinegar and 1/2 cup of water. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: When I was traveling the world as an airline captain, I often would have layovers at vacation spots. When I wanted photos of famous landmarks, I often would first look at a postcard selection and find the "professional's" viewpoint. By taking my photo from the same vantage point used in the postcard, my photos often turned out better than they otherwise would. -- Jim in Omaha, Neb.
Send a great hint to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000. Fax: (210) 435-6473. Send e-mail to email@example.com.

Nutcracker Museum
The Nutcracker Museum in Leavenworth, Washington, is a must see if you are in the area. At a mere $2.50, you can view 5,000 nutcrackers, some dating back 6,000 years (for instance, two stones with an indent)! Unfortunately, pictures are not allowed, except with the larger nutcrackers (copyright reasons -- they are coming out with a book at the end of the year!) And don't miss the video...if you laugh easily, avoid the part where they mention that nutcrackers used to be called "nut biters, because they bit the nuts."
There are many themed nutcracker exhibits from holidays (Veteran's Day and Hallowe'en) to films (The Wizard of Oz, A Christmas Carol) to strange ones, including two Mormon-themed nutcrackers. Most are designed by firms in Europe, but the older ones found from medieval times are the most breathtaking.[Susan Barclay, 08/13/2004]

Easy Peasy Dip: Eggplant with Yogurtccampion
This has to be one of the easiest afterschool snacks I can think of making (while also doubling as a nice appetizer or sandwich spread) that doesn't include opening a box of cheddar bunnies. And with eggplant season just about here, it's always good to find new ways to make use of those purple beauties besides breading and coating them with sauce and cheese (not that there's anything wrong with that).When most people think eggplant and dip they imagine baba ghanouj, which is classic and delicious, but this creamy version does not require tahini. It's just slow roasted eggplant, Greek yogurt, garlic, and lemon. And while it's traditionally served as a mezze (Mediterranean appetizer) it is perfect to eat outdoors after day camp gets out or for a light healthy snack between meals. I make it early in the morning and then keep it in the fridge until we need it…you should have enough for a large group.
RECIPE FOR EASY EGGPLANT DIP (adapted from Claudia Roden's wonderful cookbook Arabesque)
-Pre-heat your oven to 475.
-Take two eggplants and prick them all over with a pointy knife (this will prevent the eggplant from exploding). Place them on a baking sheet and put in the oven for about 45 minutes (the skin should be wrinkly and the eggplant should feel soft if you press it with a wooden spoon).
-Remove eggplant and allow to cool. When not too hot to handle peel off the skin with your fingers, discard the skin. Place the peeled eggplants in a colander with small holes and begin pressing on them with a wooden spoon to get out all the liquid (it's OK if they get mushy in the process).
-Once they seem pretty dry, mash it up with the spoon (you can also put the eggplants on cutting board and chop them roughly). Place mashed eggplant in a medium sized bowl and add 1 cup of Greek yogurt (full fat is best, but you can use 2%), juice of one large lemon, 2 pressed garlic cloves, and salt to taste. Mash it all up.
**Serve with pita chips or whatever cracker you like. It's also delicious on toasted pita with feta and tomatoes.

We cannot afford the cost in use of taxpayer money or in competition for finite jobs (jobs Americans won't do) and for the criminal element that is added to our own homegrown criminals.
Illegal immigrants come from many countries, but I'm sure you will all agree the southern and northern borders of the U.S. are not protected and easily crossed.
Once here, people disappear except when it comes time to apply for government assistance as a poor, low-income person or family.
I hope one day someone has the conjones to address the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, the so-called "birth right amendment" that was instituted to protect the rights of freed black slaves who were brought to this country by slave traders and sold as property. These freed slaves, born on U.S. soil, were made American citizens.
What is the cost for children of illegal immigrants? Here is the cost for June 2009, according to the county Department of Social Services: Welfare costs for children of illegal in Los Angeles County were more than $48 million. August 2009 figures from the Department of Public Social Services show children of illegal immigrants in Los Angeles County collected nearly $22 million in welfare and more than $26 million in food stamps in June. Projected over a 12-month period, this would exceed $575 million.
Annually, the cost of illegal immigration to county taxpayers exceeds $1 billion, which includes $350 million for public safety, $400 million for health care and $500 million in welfare and food stamp allocations.
Twenty-four percent of the county's total allotment of welfare and food stamp benefits goes directly to the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States.
Illegal immigration continues to have a catastrophic impact on county taxpayers. The total cost for illegal immigrants to taxpayers exceeds $1 billion a year, not including the millions of dollars for education.

Factoring in India
What is factoring?
Factoring is a financial option for the management of receivables. In simple definition it is the conversion of credit sales into cash. In factoring, a financial institution (factor) buys the accounts receivable of a company (Client) and pays up to 80%(rarely up to 90%) of the amount immediately on agreement. Factoring company pays the remaining amount (Balance 20%-finance cost-operating cost) to the client when the customer pays the debt. Collection of debt from the customer is done either by the factor or the client depending upon the type of factoring. We will see different types of factoring in this article. The account receivable in factoring can either be for a product or service. Examples are factoring against goods purchased, factoring for construction services (usually for government contracts where the government body is capable of paying back the debt in the stipulated period of factoring. Contractors submit invoices to get cash instantly), factoring against medical insurance etc. Let us see how factoring is done against an invoice of goods purchased.
Characteristics of factoring
Usually the period for factoring is 90 to 150 days. Some factoring companies allow even more than 150 days.
Factoring is considered to be a costly source of finance compared to other sources of short term borrowings.
Factoring receivables is an ideal financial solution for new and emerging firms without strong financials. This is because credit worthiness is evaluated based on the financial strength of the customer (debtor). Hence these companies can leverage on the financial strength of their customers.
Bad debts will not be considered for factoring.
Credit rating is not mandatory. But the factoring companies usually carry out credit risk analysis before entering into the agreement.
Factoring is a method of off balance sheet financing.
Cost of factoring=finance cost + operating cost. Factoring cost vary according to the transaction size, financial strength of the customer etc. The cost of factoring vary from 1.5% to 3% per month depending upon the financial strength of the client's customer.
Indian firms offer factoring for invoices as low as 1000Rs
For delayed payments beyond the approved credit period, penal charge of around 1-2% per month over and above the normal cost is charged (it varies like 1% for the first month and 2% afterwards).
Different types of Factoring
Disclosed and Undisclosed
Recourse and Non recourse
A single factoring company may not offer all these services.
In disclosed factoring client's customers are notified of the factoring agreement. Disclosed type can either be recourse or non recourse.
In undisclosed factoring, client's customers are not notified of the factoring arrangement. Sales ledger administration and collection of debts are undertaken by the client himself. Client has to pay the amount to the factor irrespective of whether customer has paid or not. But in disclosed type factor may or may not be responsible for the collection of debts depending on whether it is recourse or non recourse.
Recourse factoring
In recourse factoring, client undertakes to collect the debts from the customer. If the customer don't pay the amount on maturity, factor will recover the amount from the client. This is the most common type of factoring. Recourse factoring is offered at a lower interest rate since the risk by the factor is low. Balance amount is paid to client when the customer pays the factor.
Non recourse factoring
In non recourse factoring, factor undertakes to collect the debts from the customer. Balance amount is paid to client at the end of the credit period or when the customer pays the factor whichever comes first. The advantage of non recourse factoring is that continuous factoring will eliminate the need for credit and collection departments in the organization.

Colorado legislators consider bill to raise age for buying cigarettes
DENVER — If your child is smoking he or she likely got the cigarettes from an older friend or sibling. That's why Colorado lawmakers want to raise the legal age to buy cigarettes from 18 to 21.
Many kids in Colorado start smoking in middle and high school because they have easy access to cigarettes.
The American Lung Association testified at a hearing Thursday that young people in Colorado start smoking at an average of age 12.
"Mostly what the bill will do is it will take cigarettes out of high schools … if you have to be 21 you don't have a lot of 21-year-olds that are still in high school," says bill sponsor Cheri Gerou.
Under the new law, first time offenders would face a fine of $100 or they could pay off the fine through community service and tobacco education classes.
Businesses caught selling to those under 21 would face a $1,500 fine and possibly lose their license.
Convenience stores are lobbying against the bill. They say it will cut deeply into their profits.
The new law would not impact people who are already 18 and can legally buy tobacco products.
The bill is expected to make it to the full House for a vote.

Hi all,
I have created a UAT database for my client, they have entered some testing transactions in the database, is there any method to clear the transactions in the database so that I don't have to redo all the settings?
Please help!
hi Paddy Chan
There is no way to delete the transaction,there is only two way to solve your problem
1.Restore a before transaction backup if u have,
2.create a new database and redo the settings,for importing masters write a SQL query then export to excel,this will give u update masters list
Hi Paddy,
You posted the same question in Two thread so close the one of the thread
I belive, we can Recover the DB at an OLD Time using Point in Time Recovery.
I haven't tried this so far, Let we take this opportunity to test the same.
1. Take a Defrential BackUp of you DB for TransLog.
2. Take a Full Set Backup.
3. Restore a very old DB (Even u don't do any setting on that), selecting the option Leave for Recovery.
4. Restore the TransLog on the DB selecting Files on Restore Option.
5. Select a Particular time example : 2 days before and say restore
Check it...
Hi Paddy
Basically we cant delete anything from sap, whenever u r doing some new tasks take a backup d copy ur same orginal Backup to one more database d test it on that done test in production DB. Always run parallely with test DB d in production Db, so whatever u have to test first test in test db then go head in production db.
Hi Paddy........
Its not possible to delet the transaction. If you try also it can harm your database. The simplest way is to generate new database. and try to transfer all the settings and master data through Copy Express Addon. It does not take a long time. Within half an hour it will get transfered.

As graduation fast approaches, most outgoing college students are looking for a job or perhaps exploring graduate school opportunities. One local student has an entirely different plan for the next year.
Mary Phillips, a senior at Hamilton College, will travel to Guatemala, Ethiopia, India and South Africa.
"It's a great opportunity to learn more about the world," Phillips said.
Phillips, of Jamesville, was awarded the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship for 2011-12. She will receive $25,000 to cover her travel expenses as she pursues independent research of women's rights across the globe.
The Watson fellowship provides one-year grants for independent study and exploration outside the United States to 40 graduating seniors nationwide nominated by one of the foundation's 40 member schools. This year's group of 40 was chosen from 150 finalists.
Phillips' project is titled, "Safe Spaces: All-Girl Environments and Their Role in Community Development." Phillips wants to see what resources girls, ages 10 to 19, have to improve their lives in the four countries she's visiting.
Phillips, a comparative literature and Hispanic studies dual major, became interested in this topic while she was an intern at MADRE in New York City last summer. MADRE is a not-for-profit organization working to provide better opportunities for women worldwide.
"It's very intriguing how this 'safe place' concept plays out in the developing countries," Phillips said.
Phillips is interested in understanding what educational resources these girls have available to them, how effective they are, how to fix them if there are any problems and what may be helpful to their daily lives, she said.
The fellowship requires spending 365 days outside of the country. Phillips plans to leave before Aug. 1 and spend about three months in each country.
Some of her work will include seeing how rural Ethiopian girls deal with the high rates of teen pregnancy and teen marriage and studying South Africa's struggles with HIV/AIDS.
Phillips plans on living in hostels or small apartments during her stays, but she hasn't quite figured everything out yet, she said. Her main focus so far has been making contacts in the area so she can have the kind of experience she's looking for, Phillips said.
Phillips's hope is that at some point a girl and her family will feel comfortable enough to have her stay with them at their home so she can gain a closer perspective of their day-to-day lives, she said.
Phillips is required to send a report detailing her experience to the Thomas J. Watson Foundation every two to three months. Upon returning next year to the United States, award recipients will meet to share their experience at a four-day conference at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine.
At first, Phillips thought she would work for AmeriCorps or Peace Corps after graduating, but when she heard about this opportunity she immediately applied, she said.
"Why not go out for a year and travel?" Phillips said.
The application process took eight months and required coming up with a very detailed budget, no easy task, she said.
Phillips is a bit nervous about the project, but she's mostly excited and feels like it was definitely worth the effort, she said.
"Oh my gosh, in a year I'll be in South Africa and I'll have been gone for nine months and have all these experiences," Phillips said.
Phillips hopes her year abroad will give her a better perspective as she plans to look for work within the not-for-profit sector when she returns home, she said.
"It'll be interesting," Phillips said.
"It's a great opportunity to learn more about the world. ... It's very intriguing how this 'safe place' concept plays out in the developing countries."

As you've probably noticed by now, I'm a fan of Theodore Dalrymple's writing. It's always worth reading his articles, even if you disgree with his premises, because he's reporting on a side of life most of us don't see close-up. The latest issue of City Journal has plenty of Dalrymple content, including a brief article titled The Triumph of Reason?:
In Australia recently, I shared a public platform with an educationist, who had won awards for social innovation in the field of education for disadvantaged minorities. I was looking forward to what she had to say.
I was soon in a towering rage, however. She uttered some of the most foolish cliches of radical education theory, now about 40 years old — theories that I had fondly thought were now behind us, such as the harmful effects upon the children of disadvantaged ethnic groups or families of an emphasis on education as learning, with particular reference to the damage done to their self-esteem by the dominant culture's fetish about reading and writing.
A second article, titled P*ss Off, Copper:
Public drunkenness en masse being now the Britons most fundamental human right, and it having been noticed that urine is eroding the fabric of Sohos old buildings, the local council has wisely ordained that white plastic urinals be placed in the streets on Friday and Saturday nights for the use of revelers. That way, the ancient brickwork will be preserved and the sweetness of the air restored by Sunday morning, after the urinals have been collected.
However, as the German sage once remarked, of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing was ever made. Competent observers have noticed that many of those for whose use the plastic urinals are placed in Soho each weekend approach them and then — miss.
Third is a look at Malaysia:
When you arrive into Kuala Lumpur airport, you are warned in writing and by the air stewards that the mandatory death penalty is in force for drug smugglers in Malaysia. For some strange reason, this warning makes you feel guilty: could someone have secretly loaded your luggage with drugs between check-in and boarding?
Surely the policy keeps Malaysia drug-free? But I learnt, in the first newspaper that I read after arriving, that Malaysia intends to start a needle-exchange scheme and institute a methadone-substitution program for its drug addicts, all in the name of harm reduction. The death penalty for drug smugglers notwithstanding, Malaysia seems to have quite an HIV problem: officially 60,000 people are seropositive, though unofficial estimates put the real number at 300,000 — 5 times the rate of the United States.
