PAS, UMNO & Malay Unity
From the topic, we should expect a nasty and confrontation debate from the two youth movements. Logically, the PAS Youth should blame UMNO Youth for not being Islamic enough and had deviated from the teaching of Islam.
But it does not look like the two movements are going to be engaged in any heated debate. Funny, why would two debating teams willing to set up a joint secretariat?
These goons are at it again. The nation should be ready to move beyond the some senseless and useless debate on race unity. The bigger question should be can the people unite to make this country a socio-economic powerhouse? Can we unite to compete against the rest of the world? Can we work together to curb corruption, social injustices, crime etc?
Only today I met several top executives who said that the lack of skilled labour is a bigger threat to our economic development than the lack of liberalisation. Companies find it extremely difficult to hire good skilled people in Malaysia.
Hence, many had chosen to set up their companies in Singapore or Hong Kong despite a higher labour cost. Many Malaysian professionals can be found working in these economies.
Are both PAS and UMNO willing to discuss the important issue of retaining brains in the country?
As a Malaysian, I am growing disenchanted with our politicians and their inability to focus on real important issues.
As a news website put it, Malaysians were the force of change in the last general election. We must continue to push for a real change in the next by weeding out all useless politicians.

So long as we have race-based political parties, we will get such incompetent and immature politicians. This is because they can only value who can be seen as champions of their race who can lambast other races.
Even having a guy who had been to a prestigious university is no go because he knows he has got to pamper to the masses of racist in order to survive. When swimming with sharks, one has to pretend to be a shark.

Weeding out useless politicians are not an easy task, given the political scenario in Bolehland. When threatened, use the racial cards and voila! Works every time. We are not ready to discard or break the racial barriers and with these Malay Unity talks, it won't help a bit. I'm actually longing to see some one brave enough to stand up and say "why not we talk about Malaysian Unity"? instead of all these craps.
Anyway, to a lot of politicians it seems only the Malays matters here while the other can be ignored. Of course we're visible again during election.....
- AnakMelaka said...
Bro, u are a bit outdated lah - they are already talking abt candidates for ministers posts and MB posts ... been to PAS areas in Puchong lately?
Totally agreed.We have a bunch of useless and mindless politicians who are interested in power and money for themselves. For PAS, they have easily forgotten that the rakyat of all races put them where they are now. Next election, we will have to send them back to where they came from. They are definitely not Putrajaya material
Who are you to call these Umno and Pas guys - GOONS.
When u talk about racial issue - pls be sincere. There is nothing wrong to be worried about survival of our own race.
What Umno and Pas trying to do is to make sure what we had in constitution - THAT IS MALAY RIGHT - is not simply erased by guys like u.
U, Chinese, already control more than 80 percent of Malaysia economic, and u all felt that is not enough.. U MUST HAVE ALL...
Dont give all ur superb credential if u also a bloody racisct who thought U ARE GREATER THAN OTHER RACE AND PEOPLE.
We, Malaysia, live in a country that no other countries in the world had.... multi racial friends, relegions and culture - please keep it at that, because that what make Malaysia unique.
Nobody is above everybody else, we are one - MALAYSIANS.
We, the Malay race, the original race of this country only have power, u, Chinese and India - have all the wealth.
So, we only trying to protect what is rightly belong to us.... if u are one of us, u will do the same thing....
Lets think about that bro.... lets all this hatred among friends in Malaysia be erased. We will be better and stronger if we work together.
Puchong ?
aiyyaa... those Puchng DAP fella after 308 organised dinner also didnt invite us as if it's "chinese victory to eat babi". We sabar.
also in penang, after 308, Lim Guan Eng also said that the state coalition government did not include PAS (only one ADUN meh). It was just between DAP & PKR. We still sabar.
also in Kedah, the sole DAP representative arrogantly reject cooperation with PAS/PKR, saying that they wont work together with PAS. We also still sabar.
then itu Karpal Singh talk dirty to our leaders, we act deaf. We sabar also. We even pray/do'a for im to panjang umur (so we dont have to walk-over his dead carcass).
many other events. we sabar.
but this Kedah DAP suddenly jumped like monkey because the state government torn down an ILLEGAL abbatoir that have received relocation notice since 15 years ago. And the surrounding community keep complaining to us lorr... You cannot respect law meh..?
Are they (Kedah DAP) wakil RAKYAT or WAKIL BABI ???
It appears one of the politicians unable to focus on "real important issues" is Lim Guan Eng.
In little more than a year of becoming CM of Penang he has ditched humility for arrogance.
His handling of the Kampung Buah Pala 'land grab' case, for instance, leaves much to be desired. Some of his statements, especially against Hindraf, shows clearly he doesn't have the mettle to be a leader worthy of respect.
Sure, the problem may not be of his doing but shouldn't he be concentrating on the solution now that he is the man in charge of the state?
His sacking of Johari Kassim from the Seberang Prai Municipal Council also shows he does not understand that dissent is an important component of the democratic process.
While we push for change we must constantly remind those we put in public office of their duty to the people who put them there in the first place.
don't you think it is better if DAP and PKR join force with BN?
I read this somewhere in Malaysiakini and i think it is a better formula. Just dump PAS!!!
Don't let PAS join UMNO
Can you all smell the odor of the UMNO carrot dangled in front of the noses of PAS people? Yeah yeah minister and deputy minister positions!!!! PAS people are getting weak at the knees and the heads are getting giddy just thinking of the positions and power. Yeah they are getting froggy and ready to hop. Suddenly they have forgotten their religious virtues. They are all crying out, " I want, I want, I want leh!"
Too much time are wasted on the wrong thing. Too much time are wasted to show who is more political heroic than the other.
What we need is politician and leader who can work on the common issues affecting all people, and there whole lots of it.
- Jeremy Tan said...
People, lets not argue like a dog chasing its tail, going in circle.
I believe it would be good for PAS to break into two parts; one (pro-Malay Unity faction - leading by Hadi & Nasha) joining BN, and the other (pro-Malaysian Unity faction - leading by Nik Aziz & Husam) joining PR. Everybody would be happy; BN, PR as well as the voters.
Lets focus on the maturing of our Malaysian political landscape by contributing towards the materialising of two-parties system for true democracy, where the people has the real political power, not the political leaders we voted in.

Cost of Older Kids
I have 5 (almost 6) ages 20, 19, 17, 16, and 13
Clothing cost more because teens are in adult cloths.
When we go out to eat that is $40 for take home pizza to $150 for a sitdown restraunt because they all eat off the adult menu now.
Car insurance with three teens driving is $ 258 for 4 cars 2 only liability. Your insurance goes up even if they dont have a car to drive. If they have a license your rates go up. If you dont tell your insurance and they get in an accident it may not be covered.
Cell phone bill is $376. No they dont need a cell phone but with all the activities and places they go it is certainly convienient to keep track of them and not sit in a parking lot for hours waiting on them to come home.
Gifts they want are usally electronic in nature that cost more.
School activities or other expences that the school asks for. $10-$20 here and there really add up. Class dues are $100 here For high school.
Things like prom and other dances if they dont have a job. Which if they have time they really cant get till they are15-16.
Pretty much everything is just more. I dont know how some people do it. Our standard of living has not raised just the expences.
Dont even let me get started about having two in college even with their tuition, board and, books being mostly covered with grants, scholarships and loans there are so many other things that come up.
For me it isn't the food costs or the clothing costs, it's the cost of activities/experiences. I want my kids to be able to do their sports/activities, I want my kids to continue to pursue their musical studies (which means new and better instruments), I want my kids to be able to take class trips for enrichment. Then there's the practical stuff: driver's ed, insurance, college credits while in high school (well worth it, imo, but they do cost). To a certain degree it's up to the parents how much they are willing to spend, but it absolutely does bother me when people get self-righteous and act like teens/older kids are cheap and that those who say they aren't are buying them googobs of brand name clothes and electronics. It is not being an indulgent parent to provide your kids with opportunities to grow and experiences that will push them beyond their comfort zone.
Melissa ♫ Hero 17, Allegra 14, Ian 12, Colin 9, Cecily 7, Elinor 6, Graeme 10 mo & #8 EDD 4.20.17
Our Journey to Togo, West Africa
Not to mention the costs for many, many class projects. Or projects for the different clubs she belongs to. Those costs are not something for her to pay for. As a junior, they go on monthly college tours and that costs about $30 each trip plus money for lunch. And homecoming, winter formals are paid by us.
She works a very part time job twice a week. She saves her money for extra costs, movies, lunch and extra clothing. I believe she is learning how to budget, work hard and balance her bank account. But we are still responsible for most of her costs.
Our 13 year old DD plays competitive soccer and we pay about $150 each season for registration fees. Plus about $50-$75 each tournament. Then we pay $30 a month for her coach. She just started indoor soccer and that was $50 plus the cost of indoor cleats, which we will buy this weekend. Her uniform was about $100, her warm up suit another $100 and cleats average about $75-$100 each. Her team soccer bag was $50 and the team will be ordering team sweatshirts for $50. This does not cover travel costs, gas costs and eating out...although we take snacks, drinks and lunch, but dinner we eat out. This past year she was on two teams, so we spent about $3000. This Summer they will be going to soccer camp and it's about $1000.
Our 3 younger ones don't even compare. So, yes it gets more expensive. But everyone is different. DH and I believe that we are doing a good job. Things are not handed to our kids. The 2 older ones volunteer at church, babysit and the eldest works. They have a full academic load, play sports, volunteer, and yes...they also have a social life.I believe you can give your kids these things without overindulging them.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - A spokesman for the owner of several local Hooters restaurants said the company will fight a former waitress' lawsuit alleging her employer promised her a Toyota but gave her a toy Yoda.
Jodee Berry, 26, won a contest in early May to see who could sell the most beer in April at the Panama City Beach Hooters. The top-selling waitress from each restaurant in the area was entered into a drawing, and Berry's name was picked.
She believed she'd won a new car. She was blindfolded and led to the restaurant parking lot, but when the blindfold was removed, she found she was the winner of a toy Yoda - the little green guy from the Star Wars movies.
"There was never any agreement on the part of Hooters or any employee to give away a new car," said Stuart Houston, a spokesman for Gulf Coast Wings Inc., the corporate owner of the local Hooters restaurants. "Hooters never intended to purposely mislead Miss Berry or any other employee."
He said he could not respond to specific questions about the suit. Berry quit the restaurant a week after she was given the Yoda.

Engadget is an online magazine focused on the happenings in the world of technology, gadgets and consumer electronics. The site is updated multiple times a day and features news posts, product reviews, videos, photo galleries, editorials and a slew of special content. The website boasts features such as the weekly Engadget Podcast, hosted by Engadget's top editors, and the Engadget Show, a video show that includes short segments and recurring live events.
Select a heading below to expand FAQs with more information.
General FAQs
Does Engadget sell anything?
Engadget doesn't sell anything. Period. We don't have any stores, we don't send out emails containing awesome deals on cell phones and you cannot purchase anything you see on the site. We are not, never have been and never will be an online shop, and we can't tell you where to get the best price on anything.
Also, news we post is often about upcoming products that are not available where you live (or where we live!). And some of the devices we cover may never see the light of day at all. We'll do our best to let you know in respective posts about release dates and regions of availability.
Is Engadget hiring?
We get a lot of e-mails from people who want to work for Engadget. That's understandable! Our standard process, however, is that we'll post jobs on our site when we have a space we need to fill. The post will usually contain specific information about the application process and how to get in contact with us. If you haven't seen one of those posts on Engadget recently, we're probably not hiring right now.
Content FAQs
Why did you post this or that?
Our primary focus is on news for all the latest gadgets, technology and consumer electronics; however, we're also interested in scientific developments, things that make us laugh and, yes, even occasionally something that's "old" news to one or more of our readers. We try to mix things up.
Why do you post rumors?
We try to keep our readers in the know, which occasionally means posting things such as rumors, leaks and unofficial information. Of course, unofficial info is sometimes dubious, but that's what our editorial staff is for! We try our best to sort out the noise from the real deal so that you don't have to, and we always inform readers when news is speculation or rumor.
You have a Microsoft/Apple/Dell ad on your website. Does that mean that Microsoft/Apple/Dell pays you? Isn't that biased?
Engadget is a huge website with millions of readers and is owned by a very large parent company (AOL). The editorial staff at Engadget doesn't take part in selling ad space on the site in any way. We have no contact or control over the ads here, save for the fact that we tell our sales team to try and keep annoying or aggressive ads off of the site, which we think are bad for the reader experience. To be perfectly clear, the editorial staff and the ad sales team that represents the site are completely separate entities.
Don't you have a bias against/for "this company" or "that company"? Did someone pay you for that review? You get so much free stuff, don't you have to be biased?
Engadget has a strict policy against keeping free stuff. Units provided to the staff by companies for review are always returned, and anything else sent to us is given away to the readers. We don't take free dinners from PR people, we don't take free trips and we never accept gifts of any kind. It's hard to believe it's that simple, but it really is. Our editorial is never for sale, and never will be.
Will you review my product?
We love checking out new products -- it's what we're all about. That said, there are a few things you should know. First off, we primarily focus on hardware. Secondly, not everything out there fits in with our coverage and, despite being completely in love with gadgets, we can't cover every product we see! We're open to hearing about and looking into anything you have, but we can't promise we'll be able to get back to you or check out your product.
Comment FAQs
How do I comment on Engadget?
All you have to do is click REGISTER in the Engadget header, visit engadget.com/login, or scroll down to the comment section of a post and click the register link there. Once you provide us with a valid email address, unique username and a password, you'll get an email with a confirmation. Just click the link in that email and you'll be set!
Why do you want me to register to comment? Why do you need my email address?
We are always working to improve our system and make commenting easier, but the best way right now to cut down on spammers and trolls is to ask people to take a seat at the virtual table and tell us who they are. We need your email address so you can create a profile in our system and become a member of our community.
You should know these addresses are not harvested -- we hate spam (please see our privacy policy), and we never, ever share those email addresses with outside parties. Your information is completely private. You won't get random emails or be put on any lists. That's a promise.
Why does my name show up as "(Unverified)" when I leave a comment?
Your name will show up as "(Unverified)" if you leave a comment without having first set a username. This is most likely because you were an Engadget commenter on the old system, and you have not logged out or cleared your cookies since the new system was implemented. To select a username, simply log out of the site and log back in -- the system will then ask you to select a username. The changes are retroactive, meaning each comment you left as "(Unverified)" will now show your new username.
Alternatively, you can sign up for a new username using a new email address.
The username I want isn't available? Why can't I get it?
Commenter usernames are unique on Engadget. What that means is that it's first come, first served. If you want "John Smith" and John Smith already took it, you're going to have to pick another name! We do this to cut down on spamming, trolling, and general confusion about who's who.
I forgot my username/ password, what do I do?
Just go to engadget.com/login and you'll see a "recover password" button. Click that and enter the email account you use to login, and we'll send your password to that address. If you can't remember what email address you use, we can't help you. Sorry!
Why did you remove my comment?
There are many reasons this might happen, but here are some of the most common reasons we delete comments:
- Spamming of any type, be it human or robot-generated, is always deleted.
- If you're trying to sell something in comments, you're a spammer.
- Trolling is also unacceptable -- we recognize that a lot of you trolls don't even realize that you're trolls, but believe us -- you are. We'll delete your comments if we feel they're disruptive or annoying.
- We also delete comments that are racist, sexist, overly obscene, or offensive in any way.
- We delete comments which are personal attacks -- whether directed at an editor or another commenter.
- Finally, we reserve the right to delete any comment at our discretion (please see below).
If you create a history of trolling or other offensive behavior, we'll just ban your account. That means that your username, email, and potentially IP address will be barred from our system, and you'll no longer be able to comment.
You deleted my comment, isn't that censorship?
No. Engadget, along with its partner Weblogs, Inc. and parent company AOL allow comments in order to further the discussion, engage our readers and to let interested parties have a good time (and maybe learn something)! Engadget's commenting sections are not open forums where you can say whatever you please, and commenting on Engadget is not a right of law passed down to you in the Constitution. Engadget is a news site and a business. The editorial staff does not delete comments without good reason, but deletions are always at the discretion of the editors. There are thousands of active commenters on Engadget, and we try to keep the comment sections a fun, engaging experience for all of its readers.
I can't login even though I know my email address and password are correct. What gives?
Well, if you're positive that you're using the right info, there's a pretty good chance you've been banned. If you believe that you're experiencing an error and you haven't been banned, contact us using the contact form and we'll look into it.
What are those + and - icons on the comments?
Engadget has instituted a way for other commenters to uprank and downrank other comments left by readers. We think it helps highlight the better comments, and downplay the, er... less good ones. However, the system is still based on human input, and as such, is a bit of a gamble (like many things on the internet). If your comment gets downranked for seemingly no reason' well, we're sorry, and we can sympathize. We try to keep the ratio balanced, but if you feel like it's off, be sure to let us know!
Why can't I downrank/uprank an editor?
Well first off, because he / she is an editor. That doesn't make them better than a regular commenter, but it does mean that when they have something to say, we feel it's important that all readers can see it, whether they like it or not.
There's a comment that is offensive to me. What can I do?
Well, as already mentioned, you can downrank it. Furthermore, there's also report button above the ranking icons on all comments which will alert our staff that the comment has been reported. We look at flagged comments and delete where we deem appropriate. Keep in mind, however, that we know who is reporting what comments, so think before you report -- you don't want to be on our watchlist for reporting a comment for no reason at all, because that doesn't help anybody, does it?
A commenter on a post wants to sell me something, should I buy it?
The short answer is "no." Under no circumstances does Engadget endorse or support financial exchanges (or any exchange beyond ideas) in comments. In fact, we seriously suggest you don't get involved with anyone trying to shill something in our comments. There are plenty of reputable places to get the gear you're looking for -- since we have no screening process and zero contact with our commenters, we won't vouch for them, nor can we help you if you get taken for a ride. Remember -- if it seems like spam or a scam, it probably is.

The 0.400" depth-of-cut capability allows for machining under the tough outer layer of forge or cast workpieces, reducing insert wear compared to smaller inserts, the company says. The cutter has a high level of material removal while using less horsepower. It can help increase production capacity, and it uses the full potential of machine tools when performing heavy roughing, particularly with difficult-to-machine forgings and castings. According to the company, the trouble-free, insert-indexing design of the cutter increases machine uptime.

ICRAF Highlights Importance of Agroforestry in Lower Mekong Basin
27 February 2014: The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) released a working paper on the role of agroforestry in supporting ecosystem services and livelihoods in the Lower Mekong basin. The study examines agroforestry systems in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam, with a particular focus on land-use change and climate change as drivers of vulnerability.
The paper, titled 'Are Trees Buffering Ecosystems and Livelihoods in Agricultural Landscapes of the Lower Mekong Basin - Consequences for Climate Change Adaptation,' notes the importance of the Mekong basin as the source of half the world's rice exports and, in spite of increasing land use for cash crops, reveals that the number of trees outside forests is growing. These trees outside of forests are highlighted in the paper for the role they can provide in terms of ecological and economic buffering if the appropriate species are planted in the right location. According to ICRAF, this buffering is an important component of climate change adaptation in the sub-region.
The paper calls for further research on agroforestry in order to assess benefits compared to other land uses, identify priority areas and species, and better combine scientific and local knowledge in decision making processes. It also calls for more attention to development pathways that promote ecosystem resilience, participatory approaches and sustainable agricultural landscapes. ICRAF is a member of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).

What is new, and perhaps more ominous, is that privatization has become the preferred method by which the Bush administration neoconservatives and transnational global corporations take over and occupy whole countries.

Grand Valley State remained in second place at the 2013 GLIAC Swimming & Diving Championships being held in Canton, Ohio at the C.T. Branin Natatorium. Wayne State leads the way with 294 points, followed by GVSU in second (252), Indianapolis in third (247) and Ashland in fourth (223.5). The GLIAC Championships will run through Saturday (Feb. 9).
Thursday's featured race, the 50 free, lived up to its billing. Sophomore Milan Medo and Lewis' Bryan Wiener both hit the wall in 20.69 to finish in a tie for first. Junior Michael Griffith hit the wall in 20.78 for a third-place finish. Both Medo and Griffith hit the NCAA B cut time. Junior Erik Aakesson, who hit the B cut in the morning prelims (21.06), finished tied for 12th with a time of 21.17.
Freshman Gianni Ferrero recorded a second-place finish in the 200 IM with a time of 1:47.95. He established a freshman record with that time, while also hitting the NCAA A cut. Nate Stoller hit the NCAA B standard with his 10th place finish.
Junior Will Gombos finished sixth in the 500 free (4:37.62), but hit the NCAA B cut with a time of 4:36.65 in the prelims. Freshman Patrick Sheppell finished seventh (4:38.40), but also hit the B cut with a morning prelim time of 4:38.00. Senior Derek Mead finished ninth with a time of 4:34.31, but turned in the third fastest time at the evening finals and hit the NCAA B cut in the consolation finals.
Grand Valley State was DQ'd in the 200 free relay for apparently leaving early. A video replay showed that was not the case, but the DQ could not be overturned.

Tuttle finished with 21 carries for 195 yards. Glenwood City finished the year 11-2.
Potosi (12-1) led, 14-6, late in the second quarter, but Tuttle scored on an 8-yard run with 1 minute 49 seconds left in the first half to cut the lead to two points at halftime. The score was the first of four touchdowns over the next 14 minutes for the Hiltoppers. The backbreaker for Potosi was a 46-yard scoring run by Tuttle with 5 seconds left in third quarter to push Glenwood City's lead to 34-14. »Read Full Blog Post

That's freakin' cool!
So here in Dallas we have a restaurant called Tin Star. I had eaten there quite a few times over the last year as they have always offered lettuce cups for their tacos and fajitas and are overall a pretty Paleo/Primal choice.
Yesterday my wife and I were eating there when she pointed out this on the menu:
I know their are some restaurants that seem to be catering to Paleo types but I had never seen it actually referenced specifically.
Anyone else know of other restaurants that have specifically called out Paleo/Primal items on their menus?
"Canned food is a perversion,' Ignatius said. 'I suspect that it is ultimately very damaging to the soul."
- John Kennedy Toole (A Confederacy of Dunces)
That's freakin' cool!
Fuggin' sweet!!!
People too weak to follow their own dreams will always try to discourage others.
The word must be getting out. Be sure to eat at that place *a lot* and bring all your friends so they don't go out of business.
Awesome! I wonder what oils/fats they use. I'm probably expecting too much for them to be THAT Paleo, but a girl can dream.
Yeah, I don't know about oils and fats... I generally don't worry about that type of thing when I am dining out.
"Canned food is a perversion,' Ignatius said. 'I suspect that it is ultimately very damaging to the soul."
- John Kennedy Toole (A Confederacy of Dunces)
Oh shit, maybe we're on the cusp of paleo restaurant concepts going mainstream. Smells like money, to me.
The whole concept of a macronutrient, like that of a calorie, is determining our language game in such a way that the conversation is not making sense." - Dr. Kurt Harris

In 1995 a happy convergence of events gave me the opportunity to go to Hawaii to meet up with my wife who was returning from an international business trip. I met up with her in Honolulu and, after spending a day and a night on Oahu, we caught an inter-island flight to Maui where we would spend a week. In the days to come, I would learn of a letter written by Samuel Clemmens, a.k.a. Mark Twain, regarding his own visit to the Hawaiian islands. His words summed up perfectly my feelings about the place:
No alien land in all the world has any deep, strong charm for me but that one; no other land could so longingly and beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done.
I understand Twain's thoughts on the matter – the place continues to haunt my dreams, too. I've kept up with matters going on in Hawaii as much as the distance allows. So it is with great sadness that I read this morning that one of the facets of that trip, my inter-island flight on Aloha Airlines, will continue on only as a ghost in my memory. Aloha has announced that it will shut down after today. I'll leave them to tell the tale themselves but I will join in their farewell words:
Thank you, Aloha, and farewell: Mahalo – Aloha Oe…

Steve Hahn: Review of Manning Marable's "Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention"Roundup: Books
Steve Hahn teaches history at the University of Pennsylvania and is the author, most recently, of The Political Worlds of Slavery and Freedom (Harvard University Press). This article appeared in the April 19, 2012 issue of the magazine.
Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
By Manning Marable
(Viking Press, 594 pp., $30)
When Malcolm X died in a hail of assassin's gunfire at the Audubon Ballroom in February 1965, the mainstream media in the United States was quick to suggest that he reaped the harvest of bloodshed he had brazenly sown. Calling him an "extremist," "a demagogue," a "racist," and a "spiritual desperado," commentators often insisted that Malcolm advocated the use of violence, regarded whites as "devils," and was an embodiment—as a television series on the Nation of Islam had put it in 1959—of the "hate that hate produced." At best, the press acknowledged Malcolm's oratorical skills and razor-sharp intelligence, and found him to be personally impressive but politically misguided; at worst, they regarded him as an opportunist and religious zealot intent on stirring the cauldron of racial conflict, the polar opposite of the increasingly admired Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
Several months later, with the posthumous publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X (produced in collaboration with Alex Haley), a more complex portrait began to emerge. It depicted a life of major and unexpected transformations, from a young street-hustling, drug-peddling burglar to a born-again member of the Nation of Islam and finally to an activist whose simultaneous spiritual and political reawakenings tragically presaged his death. The vehicle of this veritable transubstantiation was the penitentiary to which he was confined for seven years and where, owing to the initiatives of a fellow inmate and family members, Malcolm embarked on a journey of re-education, which included his embrace of the spiritual guidance of Elijah Muhammad.
Manning Marable's stunning and fascinating biography of Malcolm X helps us to navigate these different representations, and pays special attention to how the Autobiography was constructed and how its narrative may be viewed. But more than anything else, Marable gives us a Malcolm we have never really seen before, and makes sense of him and the world in which he lived: a figure whose deep political genealogy gave powerful shape to how he developed and what he did at various points in his life. This is an impressive study not so much of "reinvention" as of political education, and it offers profound insight into the ideas and the aspirations that would constitute African America in the modern age....

Sardar Mohammad Yousaf
ISLAMABAD: Despite opposition from religious parties, the government is devising a plan to introduce a common code of conduct to counter the existing differences among various religious sects in order to encourage greater religious harmony.
The widely debated and proposed reforms to the educational system of madrassas in the country are also on the cards. These reforms are part of the country's first ever National Internal Security Policy.
Federal Minister for Religious Affairs and Inter-faith Harmony Sardar Mohammad Yousaf met the leaders of the Ittehad of Tanzeem-e-Madaris Pakistan on March 4 and discussed the registration of madrassas, reworking their syllabi and integrating them into the mainstream.
Recently, Sardar Yousaf met the ulema of all Muslim sects in Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta to discuss sectarian issues and ask them to abide by a common code of conduct.
Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, chief of the Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman opposed the proposed reform of madrassas. Another member of the JUI-F said that faulty policies and not the ulema were responsible for the present state of affairs.
A written reply from the religious affairs ministry elaborated on efforts to encourage interfaith harmony, including an allocation of five percent for religious minorities in all federal government services, in addition to open merit, with effect from May 2009.
In 2009, the ministry declared August 11 'minorities day'; four seats in the Senate are reserved for religious minorities under the 18th Amendment as of 2010; as of September 2011, Christians will be referred to as 'Masihi' and not 'Essahi'; the free and fair celebration of religious festivals of minorities at the official level has also been ensured; the National Commission for Minorities has been reconstituted as of July 2013.
Additionally, a national conference on inter-faith harmony, 'Living Together with Diversity: Interfaith and Intercultural Dialogue', was convened in February 2013 in Islamabad and another conference is being scheduled this year.
The ministry's reply stated that those affected by the attack on Lahore's Joseph Colony in March 2013 were financially compensated - 109 people were provided with Rs500,000 each on March 15 and April 24. The Minorities Welfare Fund has been utilised to provide financial assistance, scholarships and funds for the execution of small development schemes for the repair and maintenance of places of worship.
The rate of financial assistance for minorities was also increased from Rs5000 to Rs10,000 and a grant of Rs50,000 is provided for the marriages of orphans or children of widows in the minority community, according to the ministry's reply. INTERNEWS

On this week's edition of Stakelbeck on Terror, we dip into the archives to highlight some of our greatest hits from the past few months.
First, we sit down with a former Palestinian Muslim sniper who used to work for terror master Yasser Arafat-but now works for Jesus. See how Tass Saada put down his gun and learned to love his greatest enemy: Israel.
We then examine a disturbing trend that is spreading throughout the Muslim world: "kiddie jihad" in the form of child suicide bombers. This new strategy from Islamic terrorists may be coming to a Western city near you.
Plus, are strict battlefield rules of engagement putting U.S. troops in danger in Afghanistan? Can the U.S. really hope to win Muslim hearts and minds?
Also, our Sharia Flaw segment looks at Islamic jihadists' recent dismembering of a Catholic college professor in India. His "crime?" Writing an "offensive" exam question about Islam's prophet, Mohammed.
And best-selling author Joel Rosenberg joins us to analyze the coming war in the Middle East: which he says may be right around the corner.

I ordered my Westward directly from Horizion because the LHS not longer carries any sailboats. I ordered it on a Wed and it was delivered on Sat by Fedex. In Sep I found the jib boom warped about 1/2 inch and when I contacted Horizion they replaced the boom right away and when I called them today about the servo they said that a new servo would be sent out right away.. Like Boomer I have had nothing but good experences with Horizion.
The type of experences that you had could happen with any company with a LHS acting as a middleman. You are at the mercy of the hobby shop who is at the mercy of the distributor and in a lot of cases just past the buck and hope that you will give up after awhile and go away. I hope that you get your problem fixed soon.
Bommer, what are the LHS's that you use in Temecula?
If you go to the maps section of this forum and select California and find Temecula the hobby shops are noted there - including addresses and contact information.
The local hobby shop I made reference to was in Orange County - Rob's RC Hobbies 15071 Goldenwest Street Huntington Beach, CA 92647
(714) 372-3777 Very large shop and nice people. Got my first Motor Life Boat from them.
The there is another hobby shop in Old Town Temecula that is into electric trains but very quite small - nothing there for me. The other two, Hobby People and Hobby Town both carry some boats mostly power boats and are of course big in rolling rc and aircraft. Both have lots of parts and fabrication goodies.
Hope that's what you were looking for.
I know Chris at Blackstar and his is a class guy in my experience as well to those I know that have purchased boats from him. His boats are what I call basic designs. They are more functional than detailed. They are simple and trouble free, and the best part is they sail by all reports very well! Hard to beat.
He builds boats for fun more than just the money, and that may be one of the big things that separates him from others and larger companies.
My faith in Horizon comes from my own personal experiences and from hearing other stories of similar positive experiences with them. If you don't like the product that is totally understandable.
Good luck
Quick update.
I actually sent an email today to the manager of the local distributor. Well litterally within minutes of sending it. I received an email back from the guy (who I had the intial contact with). He stated he had been away sick and then offered me numerous solutions. And given the fact I am a single parent (who still maintains two jobs) I am extremely happy to say that all the solutions offered save me any expense in time, fuel and potential lost income in having to travel back to the store or the distributors. Just re-read some of my posts on here and I stand by them (as at the time, there was no contact again, even after several emails over a week, I accept and understand the sick, with the proviso that I'd have thought that a national distributor would have a back up for fielding email quieries etc.
Anyway I do say thank you to the guy involved and today's call was a very pleasant, polite and laid back. The solutions to the issue were more than good. Including a complete replacement boat shipped to me with nothing to do on my part but be their to accept delivery.
Only hard part was putting off a young lad, who's had a bit of rough trot, but hopefully soon he'll be having a crack at sailing.
I did comment today that after the first boat (which was missing the keel) had a hull that i considered a quality of finish I would have expected. The second 'replacement / swapped over' boat as mentioned above poor quality in finish and the keel was warped. I made the statement about the second boat being a 'friday afternoon special'. The guy from the distributor chuckled and said that's what how the refer to them and that they do get them quite often in the hobby trade..."
Anyway, got a few weeks wait for the replacement boat (please someone check it to make sure it is ok . . . ). Though at this time looks like problem resolved and i will be more than happy to say I retract the ealier comments if the ...replacement, replacement boat... is all good. Also have to say incase anyone is wondering, my email contacts were polite, courteous and just factually pointed out the issues (including photo's etc) and relevant dates etc - I always believe in being polite and courteous even in disputes as loosing ones rag doesn't help anything.

Hmmm Looking for a first boat and just found this last night. How does this stand up to the HK boats?
Looks like this one needs some modding as well. Seems to be able to move well on the water in stock form though. Nice and small too.
Don't really need another radio though. I have a dx7s and 5e already. Would someone buy the RTR in in this on ebay for 10 bucks?

I have one of these and it's a cute little boat but it is a light wind boat. I got it to sail in the condo pool after a hip replacement and couldn't go to the sailing pond. With the way the condo is set up the wind sometimes blows at 5 mph or more at the pool and at that time the boat would be over powered by the wind and would just be blown to the side of the pool no matter what I did.
What is your budget (how much are you willing to spend ? How large of a boat can you transport and store comfortably? What are the normal conditions of where you'd be sailing your new boat, wind, water depth, is there a way to rescue your boat if it got stuck in the middle etc. ?
Like in most things, size matters as does the depth of your wallet. If you can share this info I am sure the suggestions will be better and specific to your situation.

My budget is 150 bucks or more if it looks worth while. I have a astro van so transport is not a issue. I just want a descent boat. Modding is also a mute point. I rule in that department.

Have a surmount on the way for 117 shipped. yay!
Wow, that took you only 7 minutes to decide! This size boat will give you a wider range of sailing conditions than the smaller Westward. If you have done your reading you are aware there are a few mod's you should consider doing to your new boat to prep it for active duty.
Good luck with your new boat!

Surmount is a nice boat (I have one) - do a couple of simple mods and it goes quite well. Tape the hatch down before you go sailing...

TAMPA, Fla. - Anders Lindback didn't play like a backup.
The 6-foot-6 Tampa Bay goalie played more like Ken Dryden in his prime, making 34 saves and leading the Lightning to a 4-2 win over the Flyers at the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Thursday night.
"We had tons of chances, and it seemed he was pulling saves out of his butt," Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds said.

Pa. horse gets 2nd chance with former family
YORK -- It was late in the day, later than she usually stayed at horse sales, when Kelly Smith walked past a pen holding horses that had been sold for slaughter.
Smith, the director of Omega Horse Rescue in Peach Bottom Township, noticed a brown bay mare with blood running down her leg.
She and another rescuer tried to staunch the bleeding, first with napkins from a lunch counter and then with a coat someone had left nearby.
For more than 20 years, she's rescued horses and built relationships with others at the Lancaster County horse sale, including people who buy horses for slaughter. She got permission from the buyer to treat the horse and called a vet, who sutured the leg.
By then, Smith said she wasn't leaving the horse behind. She bought it for $360.
Like so many times before, she took photos and uploaded them to Facebook to show her followers what she was doing. Hours later and hundreds of miles away in Harwich, Mass., Brittany Wallace, 16, was on the computer doing research.
It was early in morning on Nov. 13 and she had spent the night on the couch to be near the family dog, Kona, who was sick. Kona died at 6 that morning.
She thought about her childhood, of growing up with Kona and her horse, Scribbles.
Scribbles and Kona had joined the Wallace family in the same week when Brittany was 9 years old. The family sold the horse when Brittany was older, and later lost touch with Scribbles.
While working on a paper about horse slaughter for her English 101 class that morning, she went on Facebook, where she saw a photo of a horse's leg covered in blood that had been shared by a friend on her newsfeed. She remembers thinking, that poor horse.
Then she saw another photo and she knew: That's my horse. Scribbles was Brittany's first horse, only five days older than her owner.
For the next 41/2 years, the pair was nearly inseparable, Brittany's mother, Kay Wallace, said. Through word of mouth and Facebook, the Cape Cod community lent their support to the family. The $400 it cost to adopt Scribbles and money for vet bills were covered by donations.
Back with the Wallaces in Cape Cod, Scribbles did not have an easy transition, but she's now adjusting to her former home.
"Seeing Scribbles be quiet and happy and prick her ears forward, it's like heaven," Brittany Wallace said.
