I have some with a D printed on them. I bought them at Tuesday Mornings awhile back.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have some with a D printed on them. I bought them at Tuesday Mornings awhile back.
I like those pins just because the are longer than other pins and the colors show up better on all fabrics.
That's mainly what I use now because you can use less pins and if you drop them you can see them to pick them up.. If I use the small applique pins I usually use a magnent after so I don't miss any. My DH is always the one to step on them somehow.
Being new to quilting, I am using the numbering system for the first time - using those round price post its you get at any store. Pinned them to the blocks and color coordinated my rows. I am quilting as I go - and sticking my fingers with these pins constantly!!!! Think the pins are not the answer. The masking tape or painters tape might be better for me - less blood - thanks for all the info ladies.
I wrote numbers on mine too. But be care, don't do the other thing I did - They melt if your hot iron touches them! I learned the hard way. Some just curled up, but some actually stuck to my fabric! I was able to pull them off the fabric, but I was in panic mode for a few minutes!
Oh and you can also sew through the flower heads. Ask me how I know!
I use those cheap white paper plates. I have them #'d for each row. Then I just stack each row on it's paper plate in the order I will stitch them. As I do each row, I put it back on its designated paper plate. Works very well for me, no pin pricks, no post-its falling off.
The ones with numbers are very hard to find but the letters are common & found in the craft section of Wal Marts. Maybe these would work for you.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Enjoi Transportation, L.L.C.1545 Clay Street Detroit, Michigan USA
Enjoi Transportation, L.L.C. Enjoi rips off EVERY business they do business with. Detroit Michigan
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Enjoi is a transportaion company that drives people around Metro Detroit. They contract out with many state agencies here in Michigan; mostly as government handouts for their minority female owner. Her name is Paulette Hamilton and she has been given every single minotiry small business benefit that our government (local, state, and federal) has to offer. She is a horrible business person and has used the generosity of the people (via government handouts) to her own...and only her own...advantage.
My company was involved in leasing/selling the vehicles used by Ms. Hamilton and her criminal Vice President, Greg Lynn, in the operation of their "business." To make it short, they begin doing business with a company and run up a debt. Then they simply disappear and find another sucker dumb enough to do business on a handshake with them.
Then, when they can't run any further, they declare bankruptcy. My company is a creditor in their bankruptcy and, luckily, we have a secured interest in our vehicles. I wrote this the try to help any other businesses out there considering doing business with Paulette Hamilton and/or Gregory Lynn. They most certainly are criminals.
Enjoi's bankruptcy filing shows over $1.3 million in debt of which none of these creditors will see even pennies on the dollar. These creditors include city and state tax agencies, IRS, insurance companies, private individuals wronged (and proven in court) by Enjoi, banks, sub-prime lenders, real estate landlords, etc...
The bankruptcy case number is 13-49751 filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court - Eastern District of Michigan.
You have been warned.

East Bay Warriors notch perfect record
One of the most potent young football teams to come down the pike in years sits right here in our own backyard.
The East Bay Warriors Junior Midget team, comprised of players from the former Bristol Mustangs and Warren Swansea Redskins, have shown their might all season long. They finished the regular season with a perfect 9-0 record and this past Sunday, pasted the New Bedford Bears, 30-0, in the opening round of the playoffs.
"We're a complete football team," said defensive coordinator Mark Rhynard, who along with coaches Jason "Jay" Proulx, Henry Cabral, George Simmons, and Matt DePasquale, has put together one heck of a ball club.
Coach Rhynard and Coach Proulx were All-Staters at Mt. Hope High School and former coaches, who have brought that same winning attitude to the Pop Warner Football program.
"This is the second year of the merger and many current players have played in the New England Regional Playoffs two years ago," noted Coach Cabral, who also serves as president of the East Bay Warriors. "The Junior Midget team runs pretty much the same offense and defense at this level that brought the Mt. Hope High School Huskies to the 2009 Super Bowl."
"This is an extremely bright and attentive group of kids," Coach Cabral added. "There's a lot of talent here."
In addition to the aforementioned coaches, former Mt. Hope standouts Joey San Martin and Theo Moskala helped out during summer sessions before heading off to Merrimack College and Penn State University, respectively.
The East Bay Warriors were so dominant this year, they outscored their opponents, 254-13, including seven consecutive shutouts to start the season. The offense was led by running backs Matt Ditondo, Jake Ribeiro, Ashton Begin, Devon Lancaster and Val Aiello, who combined for 21 touchdowns with Ditondo leading the way with nine TDs rushing, one receiving and one on a kickoff return. Quarterback Ryan Ramos had eight TD passes, three rushing touchdowns and one kickoff return TD, while the receiving corps of DJ Machado, Jeff Silvia and Zack Franis combined for five touchdowns. Damian Mendoza also had one touchdown pass and one punt return for a TD.
Like any successful team, the Warriors had a rock solid offensive line led by Zack Francis, Ashton Begin, Caden Cabral, Neil Thibaudeau, Keith Stephenson, Anthony Reed, Nick Finney, Tyler Rego, Ty Couto, Connor McKenna, Jake Sarza and Andrew Prendergast. Defensively, the top performers included Caleb Harrington, Zack Sullivan, Trevor Arruda, Ashton Begin, Caden Cabral, Neil Thibaudeau, Devin Lancaster, DJ Machado and Damian Mendoza.
Pee Wee Success
While the Junior Midget squad was setting records, the East Bay Warriors Pee Wee team wasn't far behind.
These up- and-coming stars completed an 8-1 regular season (9-1 overall including the playoffs) and outscored opponents, 211-55. The head coach is Todd Netto, assisted by Jay Pierotti, Marc DeFelice, Steve Proulx, Darren Medeiros and Chad Thiboutot.
The offense was led by Jeremy Thiboutot (11 TDs), Joey Penkala (five TDs, two extra point conversions), Vinny Berretto (five rushing TDs), Avery Merritt (four receiving TDs and six extra point conversions), and Devin Proulx, Dylan Thiboutot, Nick Pierotti, Josh Pompey and Darren Ellinwood, who combined for eight touchdowns and seven extra point conversions. Quarterback Matty DeFelice also had six touchdown passes.
On the offensive line, the key players included AJ Bernardo, Ben Iiams, Mike Bisbano, Brandon Scott, Dylan Martins, Mike Trexler, Aaron Myers, Evan Payne, Zach Burke, Tre Netto and James Moreira. The defense, which yielded a skimpy 5.5 points per game, was spearheaded by Luke Swift, Luke Borges, Evan Sousa, David Turner, Alex Tainsh, Collin Sullivan, Brooks Medeiros, Jeremy Thiboutot, Avery Merritt, Nick Pierotti, Brandon Scott and Joey Penkala.
"All of these kids did such a great job this year," said Mark Rhynard. "They should be congratulated for their dedication and hard work."

Stephanie Pratt Shows Off Her Birthday Bikini Body [PHOTOS]
Stephanie Pratt looked fantastic while on vacation in Ohau yesterday (April 11th). The former Hills star wore a red bandeau bikini to show off her body, grabbing a boogie board to hit the waves on her birthday.
"Thank you SO much for all of the birthday wishes!!! You guys have made this the most amazing birthday yet!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!" Pratt said.
After getting slapped with a DUI in October 2009 and admitting to Us Weekly that she suffered from a eating disorder because it was "embarrassing to work with skinny girls," Pratt seems to be living the clean life.

Life is decelerating :)
Gili Trawangan

Did my first dive today!!! Awesome. Crystal clear water, big fishes, an old pier wreck and loads of fabulous looking corals in all colours and shapes. After the first pool session they took us out with the boat across to the coast of Gili Meno for the first dive at 12m. Can't wait to get my camera underwater to take some shots. Diving was really easy and real fun.
Tomorrow we'll have another pool session and then another sea dive most probably at sunset point.
Overslept after partying to long :)
Should've been in the pool for the next confined water session at 9am. But it was ok. Went out to dive at Sunset reef and saw two sea turtles and a black tip shark!! Very impressive. Tomorrow on the last dive (doing two tomorrow) I can finally try out the underwater case for my camera. That'll be really cool. The other participants of the dive school wanted to hire a guy with an underwater camera for 1.000.000rp. This will be a lot cheaper.
Other than that I slept most of the rest of the day because after the dive I was feeling a bit sick. Guess the food in the warung where the locals eat wasn't something for my stomach, or I just had too much to drink with the canadians yesterday. But feeling better now :)
Need to be in the pool at 8:30h tomorrow morning so I'll go to bed really early today...
I'm now certified PADI Open Water Diver! Did 2 more dives today and saw lots of sea turtles and other fancy fish. Took my camera down to 20m and took some great pictures of the team and corals. Tomorrow I booked a dive to sharks point to hopefully see lots of sharks and some sea snakes (the most poisonous creature on earth). Will upload photos tomorrow...
Did my first dive without instructor at Sharks-Point reef. Saw cuttlefish, little nemos and a big white-tip shark. Unfortunately the shark was gone as fast as it came :(
Tonight's the big Blue Marlin party so I do a dive tomorrow afternoon at Sunset-Reef, where I saw my first shark :)
The other's in the boat saw some sharks too and one did a great video. Well, will get one on camera sooner or later :)
Starting to plan to go to Komodo and Flores before I meet up with Matze and Colt in Makassar in 2 1/2 weeks. The trip to Flores on a sailing boat where you live-aboard, should take around 4-5 days. You stop at all the islands and go diving and/or snorkeling. During the whole trip you can do some fishing, etc. and hopefully get to see the Komodo-warans on Komodo. Then the ferry from Flores (Laguanton) to Sulawesi (Makassar) will take another 2 days. So I'll have to leave Gili T at the latest next sunday, maybe even earlier.
So, enjoy the pictures for now....
Bought a dive watch (computer) which makes me feel a lot safer than trusting the dive guides. Not that they don't look after you, but you never know how it is at other locations. Went diving at the Bounty wreck and saw a huge hawkbill sea turtle and filmed a swimming greenback sea turtle. Will upload the video as soon as I have cut it.
Booked the sailing trip to Komodo and Flores which will include food & drink, accomodation on board, snorkeling, fishing, etc.
I will start on Monday 19th so I will have plenty of time afterwards to get to Makassar/Sulawesi to meet up with the others. Tomorrow I will do the Adventure Diver at Sharks-Point Reef to 30m where I should get some sharks in front of the camera...
Ok got sharks, turtles, sea snakes, sting-rays on video and photo. Unfortunately I couldn't get the camera out fast enough for the eagle-ray...really great and fantastic though - big like a manta ray.
Decided to go on Nitrox doing the deep dive to stay down a little longer.
After the dive yesterday I decided to do the Nitrox Enriched Air Certification. And did it within 6h hardcore learning passing with 100%!
Tomorrow I'll do two more dives and complete my Advanced Open Water Diver taking photography as the speciality.
Tried to upload the videos, but 20mb is just to slow uploading from here. Will have to shrink them even further and upload them tomorrow ... stay tuned!
Absolved my last two dives and can now proudly call myself Advanced Open Water Diver and Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver :)
Saw another really big shark, but didn't have my camera along. On the morning dive water got into the underwater case, but luckily I noticed and nothing happened. Had to wash out the case with fresh water though and leave it to dry.
I will enjoy the last couple of days with partying at Rudy's tonight and to explore the island.
Explored the island a little bit. Went half round the coast and then cut across right through the center. I came along all the local housing and noticed a place where they open the coconuts, leave the flesh to dry and rasp them to make curry for instance. They burn the coconut shells to make charcoal which they use for their grills to make the satays or fish.
Walked round the island again and took some pictures of the things I saw yesterday. Found a coconut and brought it back to my room. Got it out of its casing with the Leatherman tool - Oliver thanks again, it's really cool! Drank the juice and ate about half of it - yum.
Will leave for Komodo and Flores tomorrow morning at 8h. Done my packing and payed the accomodation. So I'll sign off for the next 4 days at least, since I won't have a connection till I get to Flores.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family Pictures & Videos
Hey Torsten, gz to your first underwater pix, and there is even a turtle on it, yeah :)
Are you using the right settings on your G11 Cam? There are underwater settings, which promotes the contrast of colours etc....give them a try.
cu l83r
Glückwunsch zum PAIDI -- wir wünschen dir allzeit unfallfreies Tauchen, genügend Sauerstoff und viele wunderschöne, unvergessene Erlebnisse.
der letzte Fisch ist m.E. ein Steinbeisser oder Papageienfisch. Das ist das Aas was mich auf Trawangan immer angegriffen hat uns mich versucht hat zu beissen - (hat aber nur die Flossen erwischt) - weil ich zu Nahe an seinem Nest war.
Wo ist Heinrich - meine Schildkröte - ??? Gruesse sie - ich komme nochmal vorbei..
Ja gratulatione zum Tauchschein. Kamera funktioniert auch.
Freu mich schon auf Sulawesi
und bis in 18 Tagen dann.
o/ *waves@Torsten
nice u getting along so well. Can´t wait to see the video of the sharks. I do spose, they are just "small" ones, am I right? :D
Glückwunsch zum Tauchschein:
Togean Islands wir kommen!
Freu mich schon tierisch,
cu in Ampana!
...weißte noch wann und wo? ;-)
for Info:
90.000,00 Indonesische Rupiah seit 01.04.2005 = 7.7643 Euro -- is this ok??
You may apply for a job as Diving instructor?! - in case you run out of money!!
Hey Torsten,
Loving the pics espec the underwater ones how amazing that must have been!
Enjoying the updates keep them coming...
Michelle x
Congratulations to the AOWD&ND. If it is "Heinrich" my Seaturtle, he/she likes to be fed with fresh 'underwater rolls' eating out of your hands - give him my regards - maybe see him later this year (November).
When you explore the island, go to the sunset point (obviously 30 Min. before sunset!!) , where the 2or3 roofed sunlounges are, and ask the man, who lives opposite for a nice, fresh fruit juce. -- Then dream (and think about the poor old people sitting in the hot sun in Germany)
IIn case you get a 'horse taxi' you can let the 'driver' go and walk the last 500m home to the bustling high street!
Have fun & stay healthy& Gute Reise
Hj Torsten,
since Anke posted the link to your blog here at work, I'm reading it once in a while.
You know what PADI stands for?
- Put Another Dollar In
- Pay And Die Immediately
Wow Torsten it sounds like you are having a great experience, and the pictures look fantastic. Long may it continue :-) xx
notjhing has changed since we were there a few years ago. - Probably nothing will change until some 'greedy idiot' allows some other 'greedy a-hole' to built a big Hotel on this little paradise.
Have a good trip to Flores.

Penn State fans devour Orange Bowl tickets
"This has been both an historic and puzzling bowl season," said Randy Cohen, CEO of TicketCity.com, an online resource for special event tickets and ticketing trends. "We knew the Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl games would draw record interest, but what surprised us was the strong support by West Virginia and Penn State fans. More Nittany Lions supporters are buying tickets to the Orange Bowl in Miami than Florida State fans."
Tickets for the Orange Bowl game cost about $175, according to TicketCity.com.
The most anticipated game, perhaps for the decade, appears to be the 2006 Rose Bowl, featuring the top-ranked Trojans of the University of Southern California versus the second-ranked University of Texas Longhorns, according to the Web site. The average $1,200 ticket price for the Rose Bowl game is nearly double that of the previous best-selling BCS Championship game, the 2004 Sugar Bowl featuring Louisiana State University and the University of Oklahoma.
Tickets for the Fiesta Bowl, featuring Ohio State University and the University of Notre Dame, are also on a record-setting pace. The second most popular bowl game of the season may become the best-selling non-championship game in BCS history, with an average ticket price of more than $400.
The 10 most popular bowls by average ticket price: - Rose Bowl (Texas vs. USC) - Fiesta Bowl (OSU vs. Notre Dame) - Sugar Bowl (West Virginia University vs. University of Georgia) - Orange Bowl (Florida State University vs. Penn State University) - Cotton Bowl (University of Alabama vs. Texas Tech University) - Outback Bowl (University of Iowa vs. University of Florida) - Alamo Bowl (University of Michigan vs. University of Nebraska) - Holiday Bowl (Oklahoma vs. University of Oregon) - Capital One Bowl (Auburn University vs. University of Wisconsin) - Independence Bowl (University of Missouri vs. University of South Carolina) Read More New Articles

Summon of darkness
Book by: Ravealla
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Chapter1 (v.1) - Summon of darkness
the summon of darkness
Desdemona "stix" Vega was strange child, she often disliked talking to others and kept to herself.
she had long silver hair and had eye's that often changed with her mood, her choice of clothing was as of darker moods.
Stix was a lonely child until her parents adopted a young girl around a year older then Stix, this frankly scared the heck out of her.
being only 4, Eclipse "lipse" Vega knew only little of her real parents and often dreamed of them, wondering why the left.
She never found the answer no matter how hard she tried. so she decided to set the past to the side and live the present, no matter how much
she yearned for the truth. also on the matter of the girls,they got along though with some rough patches consisting of hair pulling, scratching and
screaming. aren't sister nice?
a shake of my shoulder dragged me into reality from a now blurry dream.
"hello? anybody in there?" my sister said amusingly with a grin, i rolled my eyes. then a aroma drifted under my nose,
saliva gathering in my dry mouth,
hunger churning in my stomach.
"meet ya downstairs...stix" lipse said her long blue hair swaying as she spoke her eyes, one green one blue glinted
mysteriously. I moved slowly to
my dresser, slipping my PJ's off, sliding on a pair of black pant and a gray long-sleeved shirt, which hanged loosely off my
thin figure like a corpse. i huffed wishing for my sister's "muscular" build, before descending down the stairs i see him. i smile and
then his gone, quicker then he came. Eclipse stood hanging over a chair with a piece of toast in her hand,she pulls the chair out and sits.
i sat as well picking at my scrambled eggs. a sudden flash of fear crosses eclipse's face making me look over her shoulder, seeing him make me
giggle, a sliver of my bright side shines for seconds but a soon as he disappeared when eclipse looked back so did the cheerful mood
"what is that about?" eclipse question
"nothing" i said sternly, my gaze drifting to her shoulder, hoping he was there once again
"how 'bout going to the graveyard to see gram and gramps?
"sure..." my sister answers, with a strange look "what's the worst that could happen?
"what about Tyler?" i say, hiding a laugh
we both chuckle as we disappear out the door.
not knowing a dark figure was close behind
we turned as the graveyard comes into view,i felt a sudden belonging even though eclipse looked desperately lost
"we haven't been here in like..forever" she says. she follows me without protest until she comments
"are you alright?" i relies I'm talking to myself but i reply
"stop worrying bout me!"
we began to argue until Tyler speaks
"fighting again?" all at once we stopped,then i relised we were here, at gram and gramps grave stones
i felt a pull, a force drawing me toward the soft ground by the stones until it blurred. the pain, the voices pounding at my ears,i slid to
the ground quietly. my thoughts smothered, i lost track of time. before my senses returned i had been moved to Tyler's car and was whispering
once again to ease my mind. I didn't even notice my sister arrive because of the boy from before was floating outside my window
chapter 3
we reached the house, eclipse and I come to the door, all the sudden she swerved and collapsed.
What was happening?
I awoke, still tired from the relentless hours of worrying in the hospital the night before, but then Ky appeared, he said in a sing songy voice "Eclipse and Tyler sitting in tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G" I look over, they're laughing,
"what so funny?" I ask
"who's Ky?" she ask, seriously
my heart begins to race, Ky looks over, his face worried
"i think his a ghost..." I look down expecting more laughter, I felt broken, why didn't she believe me? but instead I hear a thump, I look up my sister is on the cold floor and in seconds objects begin to fly across the room until I scream " STOP!"
The objects freeze and fall limply to the ground.
"WHY?" I screech, though Ky is already regretting his act of anger, sorrow on his face
"retard" I mutter as I notice clipse is gone.
"follow me!" Tyler shouts
I follow. With tears in my eyes and Ky close behind who is he? Ky has been with me forever and I still know as much about him when we first met, is he dead?
By the time we get home, I'm stiff and tired, my sister was already in her room. She didn't believe me, or did she? I sat on the couch, sleep pulling me from reality, into a dark landscape of peace and tranquility. I smile,curling up and ease myself until I hear her. My sister talking with a stern voice, what happened? I lift my head
"there dead, mom and dad" she says as strong as she can
"we're to take you to the foster home" said the man at the door, he was emotionless like his face e was made of stone, Tyler was behind clipse, he had recently moved in with us because his parents died and now it was happening to us. We followed the man, silently, shock was hitting me now. Tears fell slowly as I fell asleep, my cheek plastered to the window, my sister beside me. Before I closed my eyes I saw Ky, he had pale face, dark hair and endless eyes. He mouthed something before he faded in front of my window
don't trust them
when I opened my eyes, I was staring at a gray ceiling, darken by night and lack of light I look over to my right, a bed with it's sheets sprawled eclipse I lift my head "clipse?' I say my voice hoarse
no answer. I drop my head onto my pillow, then Ky appeared
"hi" I say halfheartedly " gonna speak Mr. Anger issues? He smiles,
"what's so funny? You tossed my sister out of a HOSPITAL bed! I bark
" I don't even know who you are!' now feeling frustrated I tossed my pillow at him, went right through I grunted with anger
" you emo STALKER!" Why is he making me this mad? Like seriously!
"des?" it was my sister, she was holding two red apples in her hands
"where were you..?'
"kitchen, get under, nurse might see.." she say lightly, I quickly lie my head on my pillow closing my eyes quickly without questioning
"clear" she says, I open my eyes just in time to catch the apple my sister got me from the kitchen. We talk over our late supper and share a cold bottle of water, it felt refreshing sliding down my dry throat, quenching my thirst we finished, slid into are beds just as the sun began to shine through our window.
Chapter 4
in the morning we headed down the stairs to a dinning room filled with chairs, different aged children sit in the chairs talking and associating with the others. Clipse ask something casually to a "nurse" in seconds she running out and I find myself running after her along with tyler and another boy with dark hair and emerald eyes.
I see him, ky's eyes filled with burning raw flame, hatred. He approaches my sister and pushes, hard she falls on to the floor. She attempts to lift herself but he pushes again I scream
"STOP!" But he continues until a nurse turns toward us, he fades into the air, like WTF?
I run up the stairs, tailing behind my sister, she disspears into her room I go to the media room where tyler waits for me, his arms crossed.
"what the hell was that?" he barks, his eye blazing.
"i..i...don't know!" I say my voice trembling, my heart pounding endlessly in my chest.
He continued to enforce the question , I couldn't answer, what is happening to me? Eclipse and the boy I know now as Derek comes in, his green eyes following each of our moves,
"what was that? She ask, bearing some of her cuts and scrapes from the falls
"i tried.."
"well that worked great didn't it?" she stated, her voice rising
"I TRIED!" I shouted now
"i know" she said calmly
"how are you calm? Your sister is seeing things maybe dead people.." Tyler questioned
she didn't answer, we departed separately silence filling between us
what is wrong with me?
It's been a month here at Patterson's and mom and dad become more invisible, the weird thing about death is that life goes on, when you think the world is gonna end
it doesn't, death is my friend I can't explain, but maybe Ky knows...
one day I go down to accompany clipse cause today she's doing the laundry before we start the load we notice a door, all alone in the corner with a silver lock shinning dully in the artificial light of the bulb hanging from the ceiling. I didn't notice but derek and tyler were here too, eclipse opened the door opened, it wasn't even locked! My excitement was extinguished when it was just a empty closet
"there has to be more to it" my sister said walking in feeling the walls
"why do I have a sick feeling this is what they do in Scooby Doo?" inquired Tyler, a smirk on his face
just as I finished a laugh, my hands traced a faint crack. I called Clipse over, she found a rock and smashed it revealing a crawl space
"I'll get a flash light" I say as I notice the space is pitch black, after returning all of them are standing with a business like folder, files
"get yours" Eclipse says
I crawl in, I come into a small room with cabinets I find mine quickly and crawl out we quickly restore the door and lock to it's original whereabouts. We finish our Laundry and return to our rooms. I was dying to see my file, when I opened it, It wasn't pleasant. It stated I was a schizophrenic, that I had different mood swings and talked to myself. I frowned so a fancy way of saying I was crazy? As I scanned my file I felt a strange feeling of another presence, I looked up, there was Ky, he was sitting on eclipse's bed because the others were on the porch outside.
"upset?" he ask, I feel taken by his sudden urge to actually speak
"why do you care?"I snapped "you really want to talk instead of flopping girls out of hospital beds to "express" your feelings?" Ky turned red
"I was protecting you!" he shouted, he sounded hurt
I stopped, I heard footsteps eclipse
"YOU IDIOT! NOW MY SISTER THINKS I'M MENTAL!" I shouted
" I don't think I had to help you with that one.." he said and vanished
I made a some what angered gurgle as I heard my sister come into the room
"hello" I said, gritting my teeth
"are you mad at me?"
"no I think I'm mad" I said with a huff
"OK..." she says awkwardly, plopping on her bed. Before I know it am ranting and raving, I begin to understand the words then eclipse asks
"are you OK?"
my eyes begin to roll and it gets darker and darker until all I can see is black...
chapter 5
I awake, I'm on my bed, my whole body hurts, I lift myself up staring at my sister
"why does everything hurt?" I ask, no answer. I understand, derek and eclipse were staring at each other
"hello anybody In there?" there connection breaks, there focus back on me
Tyler was staring
"you looked dead des" says clipse, worried
eclipse goes over to derek and tyler and whispered
"is ky here?"she asks
I look over by her corner, he stood there, glaring
"can he leave?"
I looked over, his eyes looked into mine, he shook his head
"he said no" I said nervously
" one...two...three" eclipse said causally
"your a necromancer, will you leave this place with us?" the all said in harmony
"huh?" I said
they repeat
then all of the sudden a voice, ky's voice speaks
"first of all i'm not a ghost, I am a volo half demon and none other then Desdemona
vega's guardian angel"
So you call throwing her sister out of a hospital bed safe? My sister barks
"your not her sister" ky explains
"yes i'am"
"no your not!" he lifted her still only visible to me ,he threw her hard against the wall. He goes to again but then nurse Nancy come in, my sister throws her a evil glare, the nurse leaves quickly
he picks her up again, Derek struggles to stop him he fails, my sister is chucked toward the wall, she goes right through, I scream. Then all of the sudden I see him and I know others can see him too because tyler looks like he crapped his pants,
want more?

Double Shot #467
Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 12:44AM
Back on a reasonably early morning schedule. Hopefully I can catch more than worms.
- Adobe BrowserLab - Adobe hosted service for cross-browser testing. It didn't work on the test page I threw at it, but maybe you'll have better luck.
- ClickTale - Serious in-page web analytics. I might have some use for this in the future.
- Joe - Thor scripts to simplify releasing gems to RubyForge.
- Auto timeout sessions in Rails - Just like banks and stuff use to turn off your browser session.
- Security Problem with authenticate_with_http_digest - Yeah, Rails had another security issue. It's hardly the worst one ever. I'm very amused by Hacker News trying to get the mob together with pitchforks for this one. (Full disclosure: I'm partially responsible because I passed on the original documentation to the blog entry without spotting the error. Guess I'd better go shoot myself for that.)

VMware is making a beta version of the new Zimbra Collaboration Server 8.0 available for download today, its widely used open-source e-mail and calendar solution. There are several big improvements, including a lot of integration, easier deployment and a line-up of new end user features. The final release will be made available later this quarter.
Zimbra 8.0 can now be integrated with solutions from Cisco and Mitel unified communications, extending the platform's core functionality with things like video conferencing and IM. There's also an SDK available for customers that may be interested in connecting Zimbra with other UC offerings, and 8.0 also syncs with Active Directory and other LDAP software for better data integration.
On the admin side, Zimbra can be deployed as a virtual appliance in under 10 minutes according to the company. Upgrading has been given a speed boost as well – it apparently takes less than one minute of downtime to upgrade from an earlier version to 8.0.
On the end user side, the interface has been enhanced with social features, 'smart' scheduling suggestions and a number of other capabilities such as the ability to call phones from within the UI. More voicemail functionality has been added as well, Zimbra is now integrated with WebEx, and it's now possible to browse deleted files among other things.
"Zimbra 8 is designed to make end users more efficient by connecting them with their data while providing IT departments a simple way to manage the transition to a public or private cloud and help deliver the benefits promised by the post-PC era," said said John Robb senior director at VMware.
Earlier this month the virtualization giant announced that it's buying DynamicOps to up its cloud play – the firm makes provisioning software for cloud environments.

Another Episode of Bolta Pakistan talking with usual callers day. (Video_Normalized)
62 thoughts on "Bolta Pakistan – 7 November 2008"
Focking goddamned illiterates RETARDS!. Forget Tahirl-ul-Qadri, you can't say anything about that Brasstacks DOUCHEBAG because a hundred F*CKTARDS will come out and try to burn your house down in that IDIOT's defense.
Every chooran merchant in pakistan has got an army of morons willing to kill themselves for sh!t they don't understand.
Ye Olde Holy Ghost of TK….thou art back. Does mine heart goode to see ye raising hell and cussing like an olde sailor…hark, maties, watch ye out for TK
Marcvs khus hoa….
These worshipers will not listen to any argument, even if you tell them that their guy is partner of guy who claims himself to be a new prophet.
I was talking to a Jewish guy in office about these blind fanatics and he was telling me not to worry, as every religion has these kind of fanatics and Jewish fanatics are in no way behind Muslims.
The only difference is that our beloved Musharraf / leaders try to portray our own people as terrorists and extremists, where as other countries try not to expose the Christian, Jewish or Hindu fanatics.
what a joke these people are and claim they are representing millions of people, i don't think so. well done two both anchors for keeping themselves composed.
All these Mental Health Institution escapee are on ISI payroll. Barring few, rest of the country desperately needs mental health rehabilitation.
Check out this study by Pakistan Mental health study,
• Every other house in Karachi has one or more persons taking tranquillizers
• Every fifth house has a psychosomatic/ psychiatric problem disturbing family members/ neighborhood or the society in general
• Every tenth house has a psychiatric patient needing medical attention (depression, psychosis, psychosomatic disorders, obsessions, mental retardation, and epilepsy or drug dependence).
• In Pakistan there are 1.5 crore people who are mentally disturbed.
• In Karachi there are 15 lakh people suffering from mental, emotional, intellectual and/ or social adjustment disorders. Amongst them, at least four lakh are those who need
• Psychiatric/Psychological attention. They are likely to become a permanent burden on society if not taken care of.
This may perhaps explain the out-of-control population of idiots and born retards.
i understand all this started because MM/NJ said something like 'maulana to show-biz key admi hein'….in return these badmaaash gunda maulvis can do this!!
does anyone know or have access to the judgement by lahore high court against maulvi (q)Padri back around 1990's?? i believe Dr Basit presented the case against Padri?
my recollection of that judgememnt is that LHC stated that 'Qadri has falsified degrees, he is a liar, a cheat and a very dishonest person………it was very damning and was published in more or less all newspapers….
it will be useful to put this up somewhere to see what this Padri is capable of!!
Let me play devil's(as per bolta pakistan) advocate here:
1. It was in bad taste to call Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri a show biz man. If some one has listened to him in detail ,he is one of few sane voices among religious scholars in Pakistan. Moreover he has a very deep understanding of islamic sciences and he has written many books both in urdu and arabic. He is one of very few from Pakistan who can be called scholar of Islam.Minhaj-ul-Quran is involved in many social works like building schools etc.find rest on http://www.minhaj.org. Yes, he has this tendency to bost about his written work etc but overall his movement is not doing bad. No one is complete(kaamil). His politics years were the worst but now he is purely doing research on Islamic issues since 5 years or so and has written marvelous books in this era.
2. Response of tehreek minhaj workers was very immature. These threats and demonstration was all non-sense and they should have complained in some other proper way. Still putting blame of all threats and abuses on Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri (as done by Nusrat javed) is not right in my opinion. Every tehreek has some emotional jeyalas and they are out of control. Not all who like him follow what he preaches. I think both went too far in criticizing him today. Comparing him to aalam-online guy, calling him madari and some other accusations were just showing that both anchors lost their temper as well.Any accusation on a person should be supported by proper evidence.
Lastly, I must say that I like both of these anchors and they are doing a great job but sometime Nusrat's tongue slips and he looses control over what he is saying.
– 'he is one of few sane voices among religious scholars in Pakistan'…..do u know he said in his speecehes that Prophet Muhammad SAW came and talked to him in his dreams and directed him to set up tehreek?…is this sane??
– 'he has a very deep understanding of islamic sciences'……do you know all his scholar colleagues of earlier years left his tehreek after he started blatant lies like above in public and started minting money
– 'he has written many books both in urdu and arabic' as NJ/MM said that no 2 books can be compared for consistency??
– 'few from Pakistan who can be called scholar of Islam'….the judgement passed by LHC reference my earlier comment, clarified this in much detail…yes it talked specifically about his 'scholar degrees'… it may be useful to read that judgement
– 'Minhaj-ul-Quran is involved in many social works'….he collected millions of Dollars particularly from Denmark in late 1990's in the name of creating 'Asia's biggest slaughter house'…..playing with emotions of pakistanies living in europe….and for slaughter house it was a small underconstruction building in Model Town Lahore where he collected qurbani and sadaqah khalain!!
– 'overall his movement is not doing bad'……certainly not bad considering 150/200 gundas went over within/close to red zone in islamabad threatening vi@lence within hours of MM/NJ referring to him as a show-biz person??…this was after stoning the presenter's house and threatening with vi@lence after midnight when perhaps they were asleep with their children??
Most important would be too get judgement by LHC on Maulvi Padri….i dont know if @dmin can use his contacts as this will be very useful for Aaj too
i think both MM/NJ went too far by calling tahir ul qadri all these dumb things but i must say tahir ul qadri supporters went too too far by threating to kill the anchors. it all started when MM/NJ were discussing IK as obama, and MM said how about "tahir ul qadri" i think it was an excellent ?. one of the biggest reason for obama's sucess was his voice and speech, which i think Tahir ul qadri has too. Malek why are you talking about his degrees?? if they are fake than its a problem, but what proof do you have??? just by you saying that doesnt mean it happened, bring proof than i might believe these dumb statments.
I always liked these guys nusrat and mushtaq but this last episode really made me think if they really deserve our high praises.. Ist of all i hate all kinds of illeterate mullahs n i dont even know this tahir ul qadiri but how can u make fun of a person, any ordinary person ,so for least if he is revered by so many , even for wteva reason.
Just becoz Nusrat Javed is an anchor n has the capacity to speak on television duznt give him any right to speak ill against sumone. Had he been here in u.k he wud ave been sued as per defamation law n would have got rid of tht money frm which he buys those aweful suits(btw the dressing sense of both these bolta dua is condole worthy)
Yet they were comparing it to speaking against Musharraf. they stressed tht they dint get scared of mushy so tahir ul qadiri is no big deal . but dear me mushy ws a dictator he ws directly influencing da life of a common man . this mulla iz living his own life n one day they start speaking against him n start to make fun of him live on tv program seen by millions . thts no way appreciatable.
i realy wish these guys give nusrat javed atleast a good phaintee 😀 lolzzzz he deserves it . he is a bit of hollow bag .. i like him but he needs a bit of spanking so his feet shud touch da ground.
today I have even more respect for the Bolta Pakistan co-anchors than I did before. way to go guys! you have my full support.
bring down all these fake peers and faqeers.
I condemn threats to Nusrat Javaid, he is definitely a balance head person.
I think some time it's so happen that you say some thing you mean some thing else.
As far as comparing Imran with Obama is concerned , it is useless discussion.
Obama has a history of struggle and en devour in politics. He has charisma, vision and a plan. He went through a tiring two years campaign and came out victorious.
Imran Khan's party doesn't qualify on standards of political party. He has no vision, as i only saw him criticizing others with out having any program of his own.
above all Imran Khan has no popularity amongst poor mases ( he never try to reach out to them).
I give full marks to Imran Khan for coming on TV screens every other day and criticize others, but thats all he could do.
He has been using Iftikhar Ch and judicial crises (that has almost over though) for his political gains.
Yes i agree he was a wonderful cricketer and a successful social worker, i respect him for both of his talents.
Imran Khan got a great chance when he was jailed by Musharaf ( thanks to Jamiat) but he waisted it. Instead of remaining in jail to prove he was sincear to judicial independence he went on hunger strike for his own release.
unfortunately in Subcontinents politics going behind the bars is part of the game.
Imran Khan is playing in the hands of those who do politics against the politicians , civilian rule since 1950's.
Those people set up the stage for military rule.
Is this the episode they are protesting about?
@Javaid Khan
I believe it is the one before this (Nov 6th) and all that was said was that Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri is a showbiz man, anyways…
In Pakistan unless someone bring the change in the corridors of power one can't write out IK. Just coz of the hunger to succeed. hes hungry for success & he will succeed one day too just like us. We succeed when we are hungry for success, same goes for everyone. Hes there for success not for less 🙂
Qadri is a big time crook. Unfortunately he got quite a size able fan crowd – especially in northern Europe, but after cheating people (as explained by Malek) the fan crowd has diminished considerably.
IMO we need to take the bull by the horns and make fact programs on such FAKE mullahs. The TRUTH about them MUST be exposed in PUBLIC!
I see the all kind of jackass posting here.
Thair Qadri never claim he is peer–people respect him for his character & knowledge.
As I learned now–he was called a show biz man–That I call uncalled for provocation.
Why people can not understand a simple rule–Do not bother & do not be bothered.
We never see Tahir Qadri giving fatwa against NJ for drinking.
I disagree with nota for trivializing "show biz" remarks.
Show biz a business of gays,actors, actresses,fashion designers, singers etc etc–Thats the place where moral & ethical values are not followed–Tahir Qadri is a pious & a saint if compared against these show biz people–its a great insult to him–he is not molana diesel.
I see people calling him fraud without proving a single incidence of fraud.
Some posters are under compulsion to write fraud because they can spell fraud & they have a forum where they can write it.
One of the poster I think rasheed who is writing vehemently against TQ must be a hard core wahabi.
All of these slanderers could not have found an iota of wrong against TQ thats why they are forced to slander & pak politics has become a Master Fora for these slanders
"I disagree with nota for trivializing "show biz" remarks."
Yes I did do that intentionally. For me if he has a "show" on tv then either he is paying the station or the station is paying him i.e. some "biz" is taking place for the "show", hence it is not to far a stretch to say "Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri is a showbiz man."
Sorry but I have NEVER watched his show. The little I have come across channel-surfing, his style reminded me too much of TV evangelists back in the states like Jim and Tammy Fae Baker, Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Falwell, Ted Haggard, etc. So I avoid them like the plague…
Show Biz is not his primary job–His primary job is preaching & that he conduct with his character as well.
"Show Biz" is not just what it meant for–its a slang also & NJ must be well aware of that.
In Pakistan it specifically stands for Business of entertainment.
I do not see any similarity between Jimm swaggart, Jerry Falwell etc. etc. & TQ.
Their primary goal is to make money through show biz & TQ is using show biz to achieve his goal of preaching.
TQ represent most non violent religious group in Pakistan & he has shown strength of his character as well.
You remember recently we were talking about what we can do to do good for pkistan–I think least we can do is to appreciate people of characters in Pakistan
Last November I was in Pakistan and I had a chance to listen to this guy Tahir ul Qadri, he had a book in his hande and telling people that I wrote this being, no book like this has been written for the last 10 centureis……… It was my first ever chance to listen such a jokar….
@Marcvs: yarrrrr! 🙂
I have seen both the programmes of Bolta Pakistan and, therefore, have sent the following e-mail to aaj tv.
"I would like to draw your kind attention to your programme Bolta Pakistan dated 06/11/08 and 07/11/08 and request to investigate the matter immediately. Although it has nothing to do with me directly but being a Pakistani and Muslim who strongly believes in freedom of expression for everyone (but without insulting any individual or a group), I truly feel that your respectable presenters of this programme have, intentionally or unintentionally, crossed the boundaries. Being a human being it is our responsibility to be fair with everyone and not to target someone on the basis of our own personal views or agenda, especially, in the respectable field of journalism.
I, therefore, would like to record my protest on these unacceptable and highly offensive & insulting comments by your presenters in the following words.
1: I don't belong to any political or religious party but truly feel that independent and freedom for journalism does not mean that one has got a certificate to insult any individual like this, especially, in his/her absence or, at least, giving them a fair chance to reply.
2: I see the comments in Bolta Pakistan on 6th of November with regard to Mr Qadri extremely insulting, unnecessary and ridicusly unreasonable. Even the body expression while saying those insulting words was and is unacceptable by any standards. Not only this, even, any impartial individual can not find any link, connection, reason or justification for the comments with regards to Mr Qadri, from what was aired or telecast in this program. I request you to review this programme that may help you to understand my point.
3: Now, if some people from his party have protested, they have got right to protest as long as they remain peaceful. However, your channel was making headlines and claiming that they were 'surronding' your offices. But the tv footage on your own channel was clearly exposing your lies and exaggeration in this regard and one can see these protesters were standing peacefully in lines, holding cardboards with demands and chanting slogans.
4: If you truly believe in freedom of expression, you should be happy with their peaceful protest and should have reacted positively to listen to their complaint or demands that, unfortunately, you clearly failed to demonstrate at this occasion. If you want freedom for yourself to say whatever you want to say or criticise, even, to use insulting language for anyone, why you are not willing and ready to accept others right to make complaint or protest peacefully against what they feel is not right.
5: Your presenters comments in 7th November's Bolta Pakistan in reaction to so called 'life threatening' and insulting phone calls, texts and protests etc were, even, dangerously provoking. It only shows your personal hatred for that man (Mr Qadri) for some reason and did not serve any purpose. I am sure, any impartial inquiry can very easily identify these offensive, insulting words and comments.
6: Despite all above, if some individuals (from Mr Qadri's Party or from Agencies) are threatening the presenters or the tv administration, again, this is unacceptable behaviour and I condemn it. However, I, also, condemn your presenters senseless initial comments (on 06/11/08) and then, again, intentionally repeating these highly provoking & insulting comments (on 07/11/08) against our fellow pakistani (Mr Qadri).
7: I believe that neither Mr Qadri nor your presenters or anyone from us all are angels and, therefore, can commit mistakes any time or might have done so in the past. However, this does not mean that anyone of us, on the name of journalism or anything else, has got a liscence to intentionally use highly insulting & offensive language, especially, in the absence of the other party or, at least, giving them a fair chance to reply or clarify their position.
Now, the fair and best way out of this controversy is to accept the mistake and sincerely take steps to rectify the mistake and make sure these don't happen again. As the initiator of this issue:
A: I expect Ajj tv's presenters and the administration to start the heeling process by a fair and impartial investigation of this matter, identify the responsible and make them accountable, if necessary.
B: Secondly, you should contact Mr Qadri and give him a fair chance to respond to your accusations and any other issues/question for which you or your presenters need clarification/answer.
I hope you will consider all the above with an open mind and will do your best to satisfy me and many of your viewers in the next few days."
I strongly agree with everything written above.
but the problem with these so called "brave" tv hosts and channels is that the make issue and they show there bravery against the peacefull protestors cos they know that these protestors cannot harm them.
when it comes to zardari and his party they behave like rats.
The problem with this nation is that who eva speaks about islam , this nation always go against that person without listening to him or knowing his point of view as u can clearly see whats happening in this forum.
why do u think pakistan is in trouble? and it is ruled by a crook like zardari.
I know for sure unless this nation will not love the teachings of Quran and the teachings of our Holy Prophet(saw) it can never prosper.
Nusrat javed you are gone mad, you are just rubbish and sick man.you are jsut piece of shi**t. how dare can you talk about AALAM E DEEN. Professor Tahir ul Qadri.
You keep licking the feet of zardari. Sharam karoo ayya karo dont try to misguide peoples.
Mushtaq sb pls you dont go in this matter, leave this stupi*d Nusrat talking rubish.
You are garbish NUSRAT…..
if we think imran khan is pakistan obama
then why didnt we vote for his party in last 3 elections.
when we will be able to wake up this dead nation believe you will find 100 obamas problem is not with leaders it is with people of pakistan.
Obamas of this world only survive where you have nation like USA.
Don't compare Obama to Imran Khan. No intelligent Muslim will endorse Obama – the Jew lover and anti-Muslim.
Obama will be run by the Jews. Obama picks ex-Israeli soldier as chief of staff. Described in Israeli media as "Our man in the White House"
His father is Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel who was the member of terrorist organization Irgun.
I just can't understand, that if media ppl are there to stop the corrupt or government ppl, then whoz gonna stop these media corrupts, if they turn out to be the same?
I mean, what was a single point to mention and then stretch TQ thing that much, when the man is just outta politics?
Look at Dr. Shahid, Talat, Kashif, NJ and bla bla, acting lke GOD, speaking like what ever they say is fate, whoz there to stop'em?
I am neither in favour or against TQ, but the later program shows that all of'em are of the very same ilk, if these two were of that high caliber then why dint they show patience?
When a moron chants ' in keerhay makorho'n ki baat & madaari stuff bla bla' one thinks, that is this man trying to say that a bloke who has written scores of books, is just an idiot and this moustachy ass hole is the father of the nation?
I do not belong to the sect TQ preaches, but I ask U all, that do U ppl not know the meaning of the common phrase "Show biz ppl" used, and then U use it for a person who is dipped in Quran and Sunnah?
Ask that NJ, the pious saint of all times to utter the same stance for Zardari as well, so that we can realise his balls.
Dont U ppl remember when two journalism geezers were sitting infront of Shahbaz sh and saying nothing like they say in their bolta pakistan hole?
Whoz gonna make a check on media OR do U ppl believe that its angels working in there?
I am from karachi do you think i can vote for imran khan i would be dead my personal experience when i was voting they put the ballot box near window they were watching and when my friend went to vote in other town karachi polling agent said just tell us who you want to vote for we ll stamp for u now you tell me in this type of situation can a pakistani like me vote for obama…
if somebody abusing you outside home aur threatening u on phone whole night this how you would also react.
man read ur comment TQ u defending TQ double agent
mj and mushtaq minhas are very brave please accept my red salam
Wasalaam Bruv!
I have watched that AAj news clip and unfortunately the reply of that as well. If the guys were sent by TQ, then it's something else, but otherwise U just can't turn your frustration towards anyone.
Well I can't swear by GOD, for the sake of your understanding. But if someone does the very same with Shia, deobandi or what so ever scholar, then even it's the same level bull shit.
These big mouths should have some limit as well, shouldn't they?
O yes, I have seen then in fron of Shahbaz shareef, when the same person was doing big TC of him.
Search on Youtube, you'll get it easily.
IJay Says:I am from karachi do you think i can vote for Imran Khan…………..Yes you are right on YOUTUBE the Karachietes' party MQM has been exposed the various vedio clips just type & watch their vedio clips of STAMPING in constant manner.
I Think What Nusrat Javed said about Tahir ul Qadri is just criticism nothing offensive. When everybody else is supposed to be critized then why not Tahir ul Qadri. He should take it easy.
Nusrat did not abuse him personally.
Tahir ul Qadri is not a prophet, sahabi or walliallah.. Nauzbillah.
Tahir ul Qadri is not a prophet, sahabi or walliallah.. but he is a religious figure and we know very well how much religious we are, so atleast we should try to respect our religious scholors.
Mulla Qadri more exposed in this episode..
Must Wtach…..
Despite the fact that your letter failed to hide your 'impartiality', I would say you have lot of time to spare writing in defense of such people who do not deserve any sympathy.
This group is a cult ( if you dont believe this goto youtube and search for 'Qadri dance' and see what type of rituals are being promoted) that does not have tolerance and hence a candidate for your wise advice not Aaj Tv who have not been any insulting as you are complaining.
Qadri followers do this kind of aggressive actions (as they are showing towards Aaj tv) everywhere in the world and bring bad name not to our country but to our religion as well.
If you dont believe in what is said here I would encourage you to spend little bit of your time and go see this link and search for 'Qadri' on the page where you will find their brutal action in Canada with picture of another Canadian journalist who was injured and threatened for life.
Hope you find it 'enlightening'
Javed K, Ali, Alam and Kamal.
Well, I just dont understand, Y U ppl support NJ that much, the only point is, ""that there was no such need to drah TQ's name from out of the blues, and give such statement, when TQ is not a political man.""
As far as, his saying that TQ used to pay money for his programs, then tell me, what else should he had done? Would aaj news entertain every Islamic program request with an affirmation? So he just bought an air time, if some other sect Scholar wants to do so, good for him and his struggle for Islam. But just tell me, who gave this NJ a right to point finger on everyone?
My point is not TQ, my point is NJ outta control, as is a famous urdu saying "Izzat her banday ko raas nai aati" when more over he says, "Kidher in keerhay makorho'n ka ziker ker rahay hein". How the hell, he could dare to call any other Pakistani, a keerha makorha? Is he fuckin insane? One should better ask him "Ullu k patHay, tu farishta hai, TQ ho ya Israr Ahmed, apnay apnay view se logon ko Quran he parhHatay hein, aik banday ka syaasat se ta'luq he nahin hai, to tu kaun hota hai maaama banenay waala " and in today's episode, these two have proven their cheap caliber even explicitly.
Just Pathetic!
And please brothers, dont just put ya legs in front because U belong to some other sect of Islam.
U could be right and wrong as well, but did U see the explanation given by a formal person of the minhaj organization whatever?
After that U just can't say that its them.
I mean, excuse me, if there is some chauvinism going on in here. I am just talking on just bases.
This is for 'Dara' who thinks a discussion On Imran Khan vs Obama is waste.
Dara what association and political Wisdom you are influenced of, let me guess, Altaf bhai, or Zardari, Benazir,Nawaz or Mushraf. If not by Imran Khan.
Do you know there is a thing which is called honesty, integrity, self esteem, and courage, a politician without is nothing but a crook. A politician who rise above ordinary and stands to his principle values, his vision has a potential for real leadership. My free advice to you even if it is too late, never under estimate the wonders an honest leader can bring to his people. It is just a matter of having faith in goodness of things.
again for "Dara" talking of Obama…. ….Deewani Shadi mein Abdullah Dewana…
Obam is a product of mature political culture. Is he honest? yet to know. Is he man of integrity? yet to know. Will he prove himself a man of change. Doesn't seem he is in control. He is smart and intelligent and has carisma as you say, but does he have balls to go against those big fishes who put him there..
If you watch Tahir ul Qadri 's various speeches and programs- YOUTUBE.COM.
then it is quite obvious that he is a clone of the preachers of the Evangelical Churches and the black churches of the USA.
He wears different costumes and he is in fact an actor giving a performance each time he is on the stage.
I am not a great fan of Nusrat Javed but I think he is correct in labeling him as part of SHOW Business because that is what he is- even though his dialigues are about religion which is even worse than if he was simply telling dirty jokes.
READ dialogues instead of dialigues
lol this tahirul qadri guy is such a joker. he and his thugs should be put behind bars for threatening MJ and MM.
and for all those calling him a great scholar and not a show-biz man, watch this clip. nothing scholarly about this joker.
Presented by "Minhaj Productions Company."
But don't call it showbiz 🙂
@ nota
lol did u check out those clowns in the video? i mean i cant believe this joker calls himself an Islamic scholar and has a musical birthday bash complete with bhangra-style dancing by his ignorant followers.
and who the fock invites singers to his birthday to sing songs in praises of HIM, and has hundreds of people dance to those songs? certainly not a scholar or "shaykhul islam" as the joker likes to call himself. i didnt see anything Islamic about tahirul padri or his birthday bash. did you?
i guess all the chanda and sadqas of people go towards the birthday bashes of the self-titled "shaykhul Islam". shame on those ppl here defending this fake imposter.
narcissictic b*stard
My point is not to support TQ, but to condemn this focking moustachy ass NJ for saying anything just abruptly.
"There MUST BE a check on media as well"
and NJ is not an angel. Period.
For every every mullah, there is hell alot to say, so no point to raise that fuss.
For all NJ and MM lovers, clearly the guilty party is NJ and MM!! Waisay some Pakistani's are so naive that they now consider pakistani media as a beacon of light and hope for millions.
How can this be true in a society where majority is dishonest and incompetent. Dishonesty is the main problem.. Accept it or not we are all guilty of dihonesty one way or another in our lives.
I second U Jamil.
Every one is so stupidly and blindly and following media that U are just astonished that this very same nation first followed some corrupts blindly and so r they doing now for media. And more interestingly, look at the media ppl blushing and shushing this naive flock with so arrogance.
"I feel sorry fo'em"
Hi can anybody tell me or send me the link of Bolta Pakistan episode relating criticism on Hafiz saeed. thanks
my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Love this program. now its time to criticize our religious circle.
For SKamal only
I am sorry to note that you feel I have 'failed to hide my impartiality'.
Firstly, I don't need any kind of certificat from you or any body else to prove my impartiality. Neither did I claim that anywhere in my letter. In my view. One can not be importial in such a situation and should stand on one side or the other. After watching both the programmes myself, I very clearly feel that the language used by both the presenters was not the right one by any standards. If you don't mind that kind of language for yourself or for your elders then I can't help you.
We Muslims and especially, Pakistanies are already sufferings for that kind of mentality and are not ready to accept the truth and facts. I request you to review this programme , especially, the first one dated 06/11/08, and try to do this with an open mind, I am sure you will change your views. However, if you still feel that what
these presenters said about Mr Qadri was not insulting and that they have got a liscence to do so with any body then I must
say that you have a problem that, only, you yourself can address.
Secondly, thankyou for recommending some links with regards to Mr Qadri. However, I
would like to inform you, again, that I don't believe Mr Qadri is an angel as you may wish him to be. Also, I don't like to find & spread things against people for the sake of pleasure as most of us Muslims & Pakistanies do. The best thing is if you have seen any thing wrong in those links, you should contact them directly to seek clarification or make your point.
I hope you don't mind all above and sincerely pray that May Allah make us all to digest others point of view without giving our own judgements, for which we will have to give answers.
i second Nauman Ghauri and NGHAHMED. n a few others ..
I expected NJ to apologize on 7th NOv's B.P in gud humour but his attitude instead, ws quite appalling and ludicrous. He further ridiculed tht mullah and even called him keera somthing. NJ ,though is a nice gentleman but on occasions he sounds like a complete wet blanket. Wheneva he tries to act very kewl (example when he tries to show his hot bloodedness on some caller by saying he cant take it) his face expressions go so pathetic and same happened on 7th when he ws sayin he is so brave n noone can harm him n tht rhetoric n blah blahh.
Regardless of if that mullah is an evil or a saint, duznt give NJ any right 2 poke fun at him or 2 ridicule him and in the end pose as a daring brave victimized fella.
I admired and liked these guys but after this whole episode , I have lost respect for bolta duo .
Thanks for the link.
I have almost forgot Tahir ul Qadri, but these events brought him back in business.
I am really happy to see tahir ul qadri dancing as this shows at leas Mullah has heart and soul.
Those who think music and dance is not allowed in islam may be want us to be stones or animals.
please watch these 11 videos to know the truth

Positive Feedback ISSUE 61
Gentle Giant – Two
Progressive Classics Reissued
In the first, or initial wave of Progressive Rock back in the late 1960 to early 1970s, there were several bands that played outside of the rules that dictated the format of rock music. Though now, people look at, and try to define "prog" rock as having a set of rules or format, no claim for the need of an "epic song" or use of a Mellotron shows any understanding of what made progressive rock so appealing to many of us back then. As a genre, the only defining aspect of "progressive rock" would be simply that it was played without the boundaries of the three-minute radio format song, and that the musicians and artists involved put their own stamp on their output, and played without any rules otherwise.
Though certain bands from that era gained a fairly wide popularity, and even today, most people have heard of Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Emerson Lake and Palmer, other great bands from that era didn't achieve the wide ranging popularity of those bands. Yet, you still find many fans of great bands like Camel, PFM, Van der Graff Generator, and, the focus of this review, Gentle Giant.
In many ways, Gentle Giant was the quintessential progressive band. They sum up the philosophy of "progressive rock" beautifully in the liner notes of their second album, Acquiring the Taste:
"It is our goal to expand the frontiers of contemporary music at the risk of being very unpopular. We have recorded each composition with the one thought—that it should be unique, adventurous and fascinating. It has taken every shred of our combined musical and technical knowledge to achieve this. From the outset we have abandoned all preconceived thoughts on blatant commercialism. Instead we hope to give you something far more substantial and fulfilling. All you need to do is sit back, and acquire the taste."
With all six members of the band being extremely talented multi-instrumentalists, each Gentle Giant album was always, first and foremost, an adventure. As much I have loved the "progressive rock" genre since being introduced to it during my grade school days when these bands were all new, Gentle Giant always struck me as being the most unique, adventurous, and innovative band of the bunch. Their music holds up today remarkably well.
In late September 2011, two of Gentle Giants best albums* were reissued on CD, as high quality CDs, remastered from the original ¼ -inch studio tapes; commissioned and overseen by Derek Shulman. Great care was apparently taken in this project to ensure the reissues were better than any previous CD releases. Having had the opportunity to try a few of the older CD reissues when they came out, I chose not to buy any of them, as they paled in comparison to the early LP releases in my collection. This time around, long time Gentle Giant fans and newcomers wishing to try acquiring the taste, can finally relax and enjoy. These remasters are both excellent.
Three Friends was Gentle Giants third album, and the first released in the US. It is a "concept" album, though the only link between the songs is the theme of three school friends who went their separate ways in life. It has been described in various reviews as a somewhat emotionless (lyrically at least) series of songs, but that misses the point. The songs are complete, complex, intriguing and unique. They run the gamut from fairly hard rock influenced, like on Peel the Paint, to the ethereal in the track "Three Friends". This is one of Gentle Giants easiest to listen to albums, yet remains as a prime example of some of their best output.
Octopus may be the band's most popular album, and for many fans, their best. It also marked a significant change in personnel for the band, where John Weathers replaced Malcolm Mortimore as the drummer. Mortimore was a fine drummer and his work on previous albums fit in perfectly. However, Weathers brought a more unique style on multiple percussion instruments, and afforded the band an even more adventurous rhythm section. That he ended up looking much like the Giant from the original album cover art was just a coincidence.
Where Octopus really shines is in the uniqueness and complexity of the music. If you've never heard a Gentle Giant album before, and if you start with Octopus, there is nothing I can think of that you could place as a contemporary reference. At times influenced with Old English tunes and sounds, then switching gears midstream to their characteristic odd time signatures and modern styles, Octopus is a masterpiece of originality.
Yet, there are no amusical indulges such as infiltrate so many "progressive" or avant-garde musical offerings. There are no odd or irritating noises or sounds done merely to challenge the listener. Every moment of this album is musically thrilling, and unlike anything you will hear anywhere else.
For those of you familiar with Gentle Giant's music, and even if you have the original LPs (as I do), these reissues are not just worthy of consideration, but a must have acquisition. Compared to my run-of-the-mill mid-70s LPs (purchased either in late high school or maybe freshman year of college) just about every aspect of the sound is improved. These are remastered from the original master tapes, and overseen by Derek Shulman and other members of the band. Mind you, the original LPs were pretty well done, and have long been a favorite of mine for use in the equipment review process. Yet, I would not use the original LPs and these new CDs to try to convince anyone of the inherent superiority of the LP format. This is one rare case I find the detail, clarity, dynamics and overall presentation to be superior on the CDs. Even the bonus tracks (live cuts on Octopus, and outtakes and alternate tracks on Three Friends), are worth listening to, especially the studio rehearsal track and the Three Friends soloed vocal chorus.
The packaging of the reissue is first rate, too; nice fold-out covers, with lyrics, and a little booklet with photos. This is the kind of reissue that makes you feel like you've really received your money's worth. I hope they bestow this treatment on the rest of their first seven albums.
If you are a fan of Gentle Giant, don't wait, and just order these today. If you are not familiar with Gentle Giant, check out their website (www.gentlegiantmusic.com) for some sample tracks, but understand that this music is complex, and really needs high end playback to appreciate. Then get the disks, and, well, aquire the taste!

*Of course "best" is purely subjective, but all of Gentle Giant's first seven albums are superb. This is a greater quality output than ELP, Yes, or Peter Gabriel era Genesis. Personally, I have a hard time picking one release as their "best," though I probably have listened to either Octopus or The Power and the Glory the most over the years.
