Villagers said smugglers routinely supplied people with false IDs and personal histories to make it difficult for Australian authorities to investigate claims of persecution. They said a regular part of the people-smuggling network included a ``20-day stopover'' in Quetta, where ``asylum seekers'' were drilled on what to tell immigration authorities to ensure applications for refugee status were heard.
During an interview with The Age by satellite phone last week, Mr Bakhtiyari, speaking through an interpreter, admitted that it had been ``many years'' since he had lived in Afghanistan, adding that he had lived in Quetta for two years.
Mr Bakhtiyari said he had told immigration officials about his period in Quetta when he arrived in Australia without travel documents in October, 1999.
However, a chronology of his personal history prepared by his lawyers does not mention his time in Quetta. It says: ``Mr Bakhtiyari left Afghanistan in March, 1998, and travelled to Rawalpindi, in Pakistan, where he was subsequently joined by his wife, their five children and his wife's brother.''
The Federal Government has consistently argued that Mr Bakhtiyari's asylum claims are not genuine and the Immigration Department has taken Federal Court action threatening to cancel Mr Bakhtiyari's visa on the basis that it was obtained ``fraudulently, under false pretences''. He is challenging their assertions in the High Court. The hearing is scheduled for September.
Mr Bakhtiyari's lawyer, Kerry Murphy, declined to comment yesterday.
Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock has said that the family are Pakistani nationals. He has said his department received information from an informant that Mr Bakhtiyari was from Quetta, which has a large transient Hazara population. It is alleged he worked there as a plumber. Immigration officials are currently in Quetta investigating.
The Bakhtiyari family made international headlines last month when Alamdar, 14, and Muntazer Bakhtiyari, 12, applied unsuccessfully for political asylum at the British consulate in Melbourne after escaping from the Woomera detention centre in June.
The Age conducted an extensive investigation into Mr Bakhtiyari's background, starting in Kabul and including three days in Charkh, in Sahrestan, in the central province of Uruzgan, where anti-Western sentiment is running high after US war planes bombed a wedding party and killed more than 60 guests.
A meeting of Charkh village chiefs headed by village Imam Mausa Ansari concluded that no one fitting Mr Bakhtiyari's description had ever lived in Charkh or any of its three village subdivisions.
The chiefs said the Bakhtiyari family was not listed on the district register of 800 families and 10,000 people. During the course of the investigation, Mr Bakhtiyari, who was contacted regularly from Afghanistan, three times changed the name of the village where he claimed to have spent 30 years. Before leaving for Afghanistan he told The Age that he lived in ``Charkh in Sahrestan'' in Hazara heartland.
However, he repeatedly changed his story. None of his claims stood up to scrutiny.
To assist in the investigation in Afghanistan The Age retained the services of two experienced interpreters - Nadir Saikal, who has worked with detainees at Woomera, and Muhib Habibi, a Kandahar-based Afghan interpreter who has studied and worked in Quetta. School teacher Mohammad Jan Peicar, a Hazara who has taught in Charkh and Chaprasak schools since 1992, was also retained to make introductions and provide open and free access to village chiefs and elders.
Caption: Map, Two Photos: The village elder was shaking with rage and shouting into the phone: ``Ali Bakhtiyari, I have never heard of you and I have lived in Charkh for 45 years.''
It was a confrontation that Australia's most enigmatic and controversial refugee did not expect - or invite. Age reporter Russell Skelton spent two weeks in Afghanistan in search of Ali Bakhtiyari's past; Philip Ruddock has doubts.

Waukesha South's Bill Prochniewski set for fourth trip to state
Waukesha South's Bill Prochniewski earned his fourth trip to the WIAA state tournament in impressive fashion Saturday.
The 113-pounder defeated Muskego's Austin Quartullo, 3-0, in the sectional final at Waukesha West, capping a day in which he also scored a victory by pin and technical fall.
With the victory Prochniewski avenged a 7-6 loss to Quartullo in a Classic 8 dual meet this season. Quartullo, meanwhile, earned a trip to state by pinning Greendale/St. Thomas More's Thomas Welch at 1 minute 56 seconds.
The top two finishers in each weight class in Division 1 advanced to the state meet Thursday through Saturday at the Kohl Center in Madison. In Divisions 2 and 3, the top three finishers qualified.
Other big winners at the Waukesha West Sectional were West Allis Hale junior Dallas Wanta, who defeated Kettle Moraine senior Austin Clement by major decision, 12-1, to win the 220-pound title, and Milwaukee Hamilton senior Martin Flemming, who pinned Hale's Ryan Vankerkvoorde in the semifinals and Waukesha South junior Brock Milkent in the final to win at 285.
Fond du Lac Sectional: Hartford's Beau Breske continued his impressive freshman campaign, scoring two major decisions and a pin to win the 152-pound title. He won the sectional with a 14-2 victory over Port Washington's Quentin Lueck. Breske remains undefeated against in-state competition.
It was a good day for the Wisconsin Little Ten, which had eight qualifiers out of the sectional.
At 145 pounds, West Bend East sophomore Jordan Gundrum pinned Oshkosh West junior Cole Yoder (2:53) in the final. Gundrum is a returning state qualifier.
Other sectional champs from the league were: West Bend West's Tswvyim Lor at 113, West's Jon Goetz (138) and Beaver Dam's Jackson Bailey (170) and Riley Budde (285).
Oconomowoc Sectional: Wisconsin recruit Andrew Crone of Arrowhead advanced at 132, winning his first two matches by pin before winning the final by injury default over Cedarburg's Joey Pelkey. Oconomowoc had the most champions with five: Logan Ballering (152), Joe Nettesheim (170), Brett Samsom (195), Nick Gomez (220) and Michael Mohr (285).
Fort Atkinson Sectional: The Southern Lakes had a big day, claiming five titles: Wilmot's Kody Zembal (132), Lake Geneva Badger's Rory Shine (152), Elkhorn's Jake Stilling (170), Badger's Tayler Hildebrant (195) and Elkhorn's Dakota Johnson (220). Absent from that list was Badger's Randy Shine, who is ranked third in the state at 138 but didn't compete because of injury.
Waupun Sectional: In Division 2 action, St. John's Northwestern's Jordan Newman improved to 34-0. The senior defeated Waupun's Taylor Huenink by major decision, 13-0, in the 170-pound final. Newman won his first two matches of the day by technical fall.
Mark Stewart
The top two finishers in each weight class in Division 1 advance to the state meet. In Divisions 2 and 3, the top three finishers in each weight class advance.

2013 brought cheapest NC gas prices in three years
CHARLOTTE — In 2013, North Carolina motorists filled up for the lowest average price in three years, according to AAA Carolinas. Gas prices for the year in North Carolina averaged $3.43, down 13 cents from the 2012 average of $3.56 — the highest ever — and down four cents from the 2011 average of $3.47.
Last year's annual average in North Carolina is the cheapest since 2010, when gas prices averaged $2.72.
"Increased refinery capacity, more fuel-efficient vehicles and higher production of North American crude oil helped push prices lower in 2013," said David E. Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas. "We expect these trends to continue into 2014."
North Carolina gas prices started 2013 at $3.31 on Jan. 1 and peaked for the year at $3.80 on Feb. 22. The lowest price for the year was $3.19 on Nov. 14, which was the lowest price since July 2012.
In 2012, North Carolina gas prices peaked for the year at $3.91 on April 6 and hit bottom at $3.18 on July 4.
For 2013, the highest metro average in North Carolina was in Asheville at $3.46 and the lowest was $3.41 in Fayetteville. Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point averaged $3.42, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill averaged $3.44, and Charlotte and Wilmington both averaged $3.43.
South Carolina had the lowest annual average in the country for the second year in a row at $3.24. California had the highest in the continental U.S. at $3.89.
The national average for 2013 was $3.49, down 11 cents from $3.60 in 2012.
Gas prices in North Carolina started 2014 at $3.31 - the same price as in 2013. They are expected to remain low through January due to decreased demand but typically rise in February as refineries conduct seasonal maintenance.
Overall, gas prices are expected to average slightly less in 2014 as refineries continue to expand production capacity and increasingly rely on North American crude oil. These factors should provide a supply cushion that helps to limit dramatic price spikes caused by supply and demand. However, unexpected global events or significant economic growth could result in higher prices.

250 Great Movies for Latter-day Families
by Jonathan Decker
Product Description
By Heidi, Submitted on 2015-02-25
Finding a film worth watching is a challenge for me these days. I generally prefer a good book. Especially since a lot of the time movies have stuff in them that I don't want to see. I like to be warned beforehand of this sort of thing. So I was interested when I heard about this book. Decker clearly explains his reasons for the book and how he has put together his reviews. He highlights three areas for each movie: artistic merit, content overviews, and messages to discuss. Artistic merit is pretty self-explanatory, some movies are just poorly done period. I especially appreciated the author's discussion of content and why he has included what he has despite some issues and what he has excluded and why. This sort of thing helps me determine what I am comfortable watching. At this point he also discusses LDS church standards and quotes several general authorities statements about media and its value as well as dangers. He makes clear that his comments on the movies are his own and leaves the reader free to make up his/her own mind. I liked this because after all, even with the same standards, we all still have different opinions about what we like and don't like and what is appropriate for children.
The book includes reviews of 250 great movies, both old and new. Some examples include: 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, Megamind, Sense & Sensibility, Lord of the Rings, Winnie the Pooh, and many more. While the movies are listed alphabetically, there are two indexes listing the included titles by genre, then by related gospel topics. A great resource for those like me who want more information before picking a movie to see. For reviews of more current movies see the authors website.

I am HIGHLY impressed with this book and believe that EVERY FAMILY should own a copy of this book and use it frequently to not only find good entertainment, but to find the good in the entertainment!

I just went to my daughter's Standards Night for mutual and we were able to talk about the importance of raising our standards, especially in today's world. The youth need good choices in media to help them keep their standards high...as do parents. This book offers so many choices of movies for all types. I love that there are scriptural references and topics to discuss with the kids. I remember being in seminary and my seminary teachers would show clips of Disney cartoons to teach a lesson...this book has the same concept of learning and it's a great way to get the family talking and learning together. Well done Jonathan Decker!

With so many movies coming out these days, and with Hollywood's standards declining, this book helps LDS moviegoers and families find films that can uplift and keep within the standards of the gospel. The great thing about this book is that not only does it give great suggestions of good movies, and the content, but it also provides gospel messages to discuss with each film. I look forward to now not only being entertained by watching a movie, but also being able to find gospel themes and discussing them with my family.

A great book to help families find movies that are uplifting, enriching, and in line with gospel standards. That can be hard nowadays since the values in Hollywood are becoming more and more secular. But there are still great movies that can be not only entertaining, but also can be used to teach good values to your family. This book is a good guide to help with that.
By Natalia, Submitted on 2015-02-25
I had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of this book and really enjoyed the films included. I had not seen many of recommended movies but since reading "250 Great Movies for LDS Families," my husband and young daughters and I have plugged away at what we've been missing and really enjoyed our family nights together. I am excited to use the gospel topics index included when my girls are a little older and may have questions about certain doctrine.
While it's not the final say on films for you and your family, I really appreciate the frame of mind it has given me when selecting what media to expose my own young children to.
By Alicia, Submitted on 2015-02-25
Each family friendly movie coincides with the standards for media laid out in the strength of youth pamphlet. More than that though there are discussion guides, along with scriptures and quotes from latter-day prophets regarding the theme of each movie. Looking for a movie on charity, repentance, honesty, chastity or forgiveness? Just flip to the index by topic and take your pick. Definitely a resource for every latter-day home!

Terra Nova follows an ordinary family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149, the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped and overcrowded, with the majority of plant and animal life extinct. The future of mankind is in doubt, and its only hope for survival is in the distant past.
When scientists at the FERMI Particle Accelerator unexpectedly discovered a fracture in time that made it possible to construct a portal into primeval history, the bold notion was born to resettle humanity in the past – a second chance to rebuild civilization and get it right this time. The series centres on the Shannon family as they join the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first colony established in this beautiful yet forbidding land. Jim Shannon (Jason O'Mara), a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family through this new world of limitless beauty, mystery and terror.

Parties campaign in final weekend before election
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Both the Republican and Democratic party spent the day picking up phones asking for the final support they need before November 6th.
Volunteers at phone banks went strong all day long. The Democrats were dialing people up as a reminder.
"We're calling Iowa, one of the swing states. We're making sure primarily that they have received their ballot in the mail, and making sure they've got it in," Carole Nelson of the Democratic party said.
The Republicans focused on the local race for the 36th Congressional District.
"Believe it or not, we still have some people that are very undecided about how they're going to be voting for this election in the 36th. It's been a very tight race. It's been a very aggressive race," Johnny Hildreth of the Republicans Organizing Committee said.
Both parties said they believe voters already know who they are voting for for president -- so the weekend's phone calls had a different reason.
"Now it's just coming down to the locals. We have six cities with city council races. We have people calling in wanting to know about those as well," Hildreth said.
"It's a matter of just getting their vote counted," Nelson said.
Both parties said this weekend of phone banking is excellent practice for Tuesday.

I wanted to let you all know how I've been doing. In a word: Great! I started actually attending puppy kindergarten classes last week. It was great having so many new butts to sniff. I tried to tell my human to let me off that leash so that I could romp with that cute husky across the room, but she seemed to think it would be too distracting. I decided to teach her a lesson or two by doing everyting she asked of me when people were distracted, but ignoring her when we were on the spot!
Yesterday Mom and Dad went to Quarry lakes with Zeus and his humans for a nice long walk. I think I bounced the whole way! Everybody is amazed by how much energy I have. I do my best to keep fit... I wasn't allowed in the water, which is brutal for a lab. I figured out that I don't mind hopping in the shower with Mom or Dad, but if you try to close that door and soap me up, I'm outta there! They tried that the other day after I let the bulldog down stairs "mark" me. I screamed and screamed, trying to get them to stop. Somehow they managed to finish despite my monsterous bark. Note to self: Work on making bark even more terrifying.
Everything else is great! I turned 12 (weeks anyway) Friday and weighed about 22 lbs. I'm growing so fast! I can't wait until I'm big enough to wrestle with Zeus off leash! Maybe then he can't dodge my slobbery kisses!
I've been at my new home for a while now. I may only be 12 weeks, but I'm sure growing up! Can you believe I've gained 5 lbs. since I arrived?! Sure, that may not sound like much, but I was 15 lbs... that means I've gained 1/3 of my body weight! (Or so they say... my paws were never designed for calculators or pencils!)
I'm also learning quickly... at least I let them think so. I can understand most of what they want me to do, but the sooner I let on, the sooner I'll stop getting treats for doing it right! So far I know sit, down, heel, and shake. Sometimes I shake when they say down, just to confuse them. I also give them that adorable "I'm confused" look they love so much when they tell me to sit from a down position. It's all fun and games from here, but it sure makes them happy to see me do my tricks!
I've sharpened my chewing skills quite a bit, and my bark is bigger than I am! No more calling it a "yip!" Other than that life is going just great. I begin puppy kindergarten classes this week. I'll let you know how that goes! This whole "I really don't understand what you want me to do" act will probably come to an end when my competitive edge takes over. Just you wait you wait you little fur balls!
I've been in my new home for about a week now, and I'm starting to get it all figured out! My new mom and dad may sound tough, but they're actually softies! Can you believe they give me treats for going potty?! Even on the sidewalk! It's like they're just so thrilled that I'm not going on the carpet! I just want to tell them not to worry... I know perfectly well that carpet isn't for pottying.. it's for eating!
My old mom (I think her name is Breeder) packed up a lot of my toys to come with me to this new house. Can you believe she packed that same cheeky ball I was telling you about?! I just can't shake it!Just you wait! I'll show it I'm boss!
Other than that and my ongoing battle with mom and dad over the domination of the toilet paper roll in the bathroom, things have been pretty calm! I made a new friend named Zeus. He may be a big European boxer, but he's a kitty inside. He lets me walk all over him!
That's all for today! Oh, and for the record... don't let those cutesy Christmas photos fool you... I'm as furrrr-ocious as ever! That present had it coming...

Google Selling eBooks: A Bold Step But Not The Last For The Search Giant
Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on June 5, 2009
- 380 Recommendations
- 2 comments
I'm a few days late on this one but it's been a busy week!
Google announced Monday that by the end of the year it would allow publishers to sell eBooks directly through Google. Google was already involved in the eBook/eReader market through its patented book digitization efforts and through a partnership with Sony that offers 500,000 public domain books for free in the Sony Reader store.
We expected that Google would move more aggressively into the eReader space, but the move to sell eBooks directly is surprising. Sure, there's Froogle, and Google Checkout, but Google doesn't really sell anything but ads. Even when it could have moved from displaying search results to selling products--like airline tickets--it hasn't, until now.
This move directly threatens Amazon as an eBook seller, but more importantly, it challenges Amazon's whole proprietary approach to the eBook market. Google eBooks will use open standards and can be used on any reader, unlike Amazon's Kindle format. Google will also let publishers set their own pricing, unlike Amazon.
What's next for Google? We wouldn't be surprised to see an Android-operated eReader, one that syncs with Google docs and is optimized for reading business documents in addition to books and news. In addition, specialized eReaders are seen as a potential enabler of paperless hospitals; Google's involvement in digitizing health records could put Google in a central role in the health eReader space.
And of course, if anyone can figure out an ad model for books, it's Google...

Comment from Steve Weber (not verified) on Sun, 06/07/2009 - 11:57
I don't know why Google wouldn't want to sell eBooks to anyone with a browser. That's a market of hundreds of millions vs. the Kindle market of 100,000 to 500,000. Google has been promising to do this for about three years, what has taken them so long?The question is how much search traffic Google will divert from Amazon to its own bookstore. A lot, I'm guessing.

Comment from Sarah Rotman Epps on Sun, 06/07/2009 - 21:12
@Steve Weber--great point, I should have made that more clear. Google IS selling eBooks to anyone with a browser; you don't have to have an eReader to buy one.Thanks for the comment!Sarah

CAPITOLA -- To the hundreds of worshippers at St. Joseph's Catholic Community, Ash Wednesday is more than just preparing for the 40 days of Lent.
"I bet you thought you could come here just to get ashes, but there's something else going on," said the Rev. Mike Marini. "And 40 days from now, what happens?"
The entire congregation gathered Wednesday for Ash Wednesday, which occurs 46 days before Easter this year. Through songs and prayer, it prepared for Lent, a time typically devoted to sacrifice.
"We're not here just because of ashes, and we're not here just because of wine and chocolate," said Marini, who led Wednesday's service with the Rev. Wayne Dawson. "We're here to remind us of what our lives should be like for the rest of the year."
During the service, most people stepped up to the altar to receive ashes in the shape of a cross on their foreheads.
Bob Paradise, an Aptos resident, also participated in the event, which symbolizes penitence or mortality.
Paradise started attending St. Joseph's in 1980. While he didn't grow up religious, he converted to Catholicism after serving in the Marines during the Vietnam War.
"I got wounded, and I almost lost my right leg," Paradise said Wednesday afternoon. "The doctor that saved me told me to trust in the Lord, and I did. Since then, it changed my life."
After the service, Paradise said he wanted to look inward during Lent and reflect.
"I plan on being more patient," he said.
Marlene Ingram of Soquel attended the service with her 2-year-old grandson Reese. Even though the service lasted for an hour, Ingram said Reese remained calm and engaged, even singing along with the congregation.
"It's wonderful to bring him here," Ingram said. "It's a blessing, and the best time of the year."

Welcome To Our Wedding Website! We hate the design, but you can't make a wedding website on Instagram, so here we are.
Thanks for stopping by - we look forward to celebrating with friends and family, but to that guy who robocalled me after I registered okubowitz.com, a wedding website is not an "interesting concept" that I need your consulting services for.


text: If you end up being one-half as happy with yours as I am with mine, you'll be enjoying and using it for a long time. If you have no previous experience with Glocks, make sure you give yourself a chance to get used to it and learn its quirks. Once you get some quality practice time under your belt, and find its favorite ammo, you'll be surprised at how well it can shoot. One of my better efforts (and done outdoors in cold weather, to boot):

I was scared to try this – Grapefruit AND its juice in a bowl of cereal – especially mixed with the milk?? I decided to go for it, and WOW! I can't eat kiwi, so I used raspberries instead, and used unsweetened vanilla almond milk. DELICIOUS!

We are a cupple of Occupational Therapist that together with our two girls enjoy the natural lifestyle of the Florida Keys and will like to share it with you.
Our family had a great time at this property! The owner is very friendly and easy going. No problems whatsoever! We loved the nice wood floors, screened in porch, internet and flat screen TV. Everything was just as good as the pictures or better! The Sea Wall/Docking Area is great for your boat and there is a nice Fish/Lobster cleaning station. Overall it was a very nice place and in a good neighborhood! No complaints! Thanks a lot!
We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. The owner is very helpful and good to work with. It's a nice property and very clean, and in a nice location.
We just spent the last 3 months at this "Pristine Paradise", each week visited by family and friends. Many weekends were double booked...the house easily handled the overflow. Every guest(over 50 people) agreed that it's truly Shangri La. The house lacks for nothing, all is meticulous.
Easy access to the ocean or gulf via the lagoon...and to "Picnic Island." Walking distance to restaurants and Tiki Huts, diving and snorkeling and....Cuban Coffee. Kayaks can be delivered and if you wanna laugh...miniature golf.
Swim or fish the lagoon. If you need a cocktail,there's an outside "fridge." The fishing is fantastic, we went almost every day. The bus to Key West is close by as well as the beaches.
The pictures shown don't do this place justice. The owners strive to make it perfect. And they do.
If you rent this, you will understand. Mi casa es su casa.

My first cosplay ever, haha. When my sister told me we were going to our first convention back in 2006, she wanted to be Tifa from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and I wanted to be Aerith - partly because of her being Tifa, but also because Aerith is one of my favourite characters ever. I chose the Kingdom Hearts version of her because it looked the most easy to make. XD

David Lamb recently posted his impressions of the first episode of the documentary series Bible Secrets Revealed, the second episode of which airs this evening. I appreciated David's comments, but also found myself wondering about one point he made (which relates to a topic that came up here on this blog as well). He complained that Evangelical views were not adequately represented (Michael Kruger likewise complained about the documentary not presenting "both sides").
Since I know that Evangelicals were interviewed, and that one or two scholars from Azusa Pacific appeared more than once in the first episode, I'm not sure that comment is accurate. But even if it is, I wonder about whether makers of a documentary need to make a point of including Evangelical views even when those Evangelical views are not accepted outside of conservative Evangelical circles, and thus are likely to reflect the influence of dogmatic presuppositions rather than the results of scholars following evidence where it leads.
Of course, if you are going to include Reza Aslan, then you really ought to be giving every stance held by actual Biblical scholars a voice first!
But seriously, this is a genuine and important issue. I've seen documentaries which present multiple sides including ones that are really fringe, and I've seen documentaries which present an issue as having been settled in one particular way when a matter is a subject of genuine scholarly debate. Documentaries should reflect the scholarly consensus if there is one, and reflect the lack of consensus if there is genuine rather than merely manufactured controversy.
Note also that Answers in Genesis has offered negative comments about the documentary – that is typically a good sign. It is truly ironic when groups like that quote 2 Timothy 4:3–4, which says "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." That is exactly what Answers in Genesis does. It refuses to listen to anyone who doesn't say what they want to hear. And then they have the audacity to accuse those who've followed the evidence where it leads of doing what they themselves do!
For more related to this topic, see Fred Clark's American football-related thoughts about the documentary, Anthony LeDonne's snippet about Mark Goodacre, Bob Cargill's screenshots of the credits, and Brian Bibb's post about being academic and accessible.
Feel free to come here to talk about tonight's episode after it airs!

It's become so obvious to me that I can't believe no one else can tell. And yet no one else can see how much I love Dai --- how dangerously my emotions burn in my chest for him, how my pulse races and blood heats up when Dai is near.
And yet . . . I hate Dai because he makes me love him so much. His eyes that draw me in. His arms that wrap around me, and the fists that draw blood from my skin. How he kills me as he loves me. That is the mystery of Dai: so many different aspects of him clashing around in that one body ready to explode but you can't leave him alone, even if he goes off and hurts you in the process.
So here I am, sitting in the sand and watching Dai play in the surf, kicking and splashing about like it was a new semester. I would not be surprised if it was true, given his family. A family so cold they don't care what happens to their son so long as he keeps their names out of trouble.
He turns and waves at me; he's ankle-deep in the water, a strand of seaweed clinging to his bare chest. I wave back and grin helplessly. I do this even though earlier today I had seen him at school and he had nonchalantly told me to just fuck off already, getting angry when I asked why. Such things were becoming weekly, almost daily occurrences. I can't help but think he's embarrassed of me, or that I'm a constant annoying reminder of life outside the Furies and fighting.
This was the thing about Dai for being a horrible student who hangs out with delinquents, he knew how to wield his words with precision, like a surgeon. No --- like an assassin, knowing the optimal places on the body to shoot his gun, all for maximum damage. Dai knows which words will hit me hardest in the gut, in the heart; he was not afraid to use them at any moment.
But I'm still here, feet bare and caked with brown sand, watching Dai walk in from the incoming surf with a goofy smile on his face, as if we were the happiest hidden couple in Korea, in the whole world. This is our secret place; here is where we lay bare our true emotions, raw and real for our eyes only.
Dai says something but the crash of the waves against the rocks makes it hard to hear his voice; they eat his words and take them away from me.
"What was that?" I shout back, then flush as Dai runs up and is close enough to touch my face with one gentle finger.
He grins at my look of embarrassment, absently brushing a lock of sea-soaked hair out of his eyes. "I said I love you, you idiot."
Dai falls on top of me, pressing me into the grit of the sand. I get lost in the crooks of his limbs, the smell of sea salt on his skin, words carelessly spilling from his lips until they turn into incomprehensible strings of sighs and moans. We are so deeply entangled in one another that there is no Dai or Jaeehee anymore, just this one state of being called us.
It's Dai: His words that pull me in then push me away, each one a nail dragged across my back or a clenched fist pushed into my gut. This is Dai, the one I can never leave, the one I can never be without. This is the man who is inside of me even when we are apart, the haunting presence that has marked me.
And if the force of our tumultuous relationship brings us down, we will die the same way we loved: forcefully and hungrily; giving each other so much of ourselves that we disappear like bubbles in the tide, leaving nothing behind but footprints to be washed away.

Kwansema going through the widowhood rite
President John Dramani Mahama last Saturday joined several mourners to bid a final farewell to the late Komla Afeke Dumor, the Ghanaian BBC broadcaster who died of cardiac arrest in his London home on Saturday, January 18, this year.
The mortal remains of Komla Dumor, 41, arrived at the forecourt of the State House in Accra at about 7:00 am for the pre-burial service.
The body was laid in state for dignitaries and other special guests from Ghana and across the globe to file past it and pay their last respects.
President Mahama was the last person to file past the body after which the casket, in a shape like that of the late Pope John Paul, and made of Mahogany wood, was covered for liturgical service to begin.
Tributes from his wife, children, family, loved ones and high profile personalities, including President Mahama, were read at the burial service.
President John Mahama consoling Prof Dumor
The President, in his tribute, described Komla as ?a true son of Africa, who easily submerged his Ghanaian identity into the unifying sea of gracious and common humanity, so that millions around the world, Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians, Africans and non-Africans, black or white, could claim him as one of their own.?
According to him, Komla proved to be a real stabilizer, a role model and a source of admiration, as well as inspiration, for millions around the world.
?Indeed, Komla?s stature transcended nationality, race and continents. Komla leaves us with some true life lessons that even when life gives you lemons, you can still find a humble and enduring way to turn these lemons into lemonade,? Mahama said.
Peter Horrocks, Director of BBC World Service, said in his tribute: ?To understand the impact of Komla Dumor, you need only look at what happened after his devastating death.?
He said when Komla joined the BBC, he exploded onto the radio and the TV screen and became the personalization of the BBC?s commitment in Africa with the show that was his ? Focus on Africa on BBC World News.
Elinam Sapong, Elorm Dumor and Araba Dumor
According to him, Komla didn?t want to be pigeon-holed and always wanted to spread his wings, adding that ?he adored and celebrated his African-ness and Africa. But he was also an Africa journalist for the world, telling stories in a way that everyone could relate to, and lapping up the reaction he was getting around the globe.?
After the liturgical service, a widowhood rite was performed for the deceased wife, Kwansema, by Rev. Father Mensah of the Holy Spirit Cathedral.
Forty-one blue and ash-colored balloons were released into the atmosphere, representing the number of years Komla lived on earth, after which the casket of the late Ghanaian BBC broadcaster was lifted from the State House for a private burial.
The family had been tightlipped on where the former BBC presenter was buried, but sources close to DAILY GUIDE revealed that the body was interred next to his late mother?s at their family house in Accra.
A thanksgiving service was held on Sunday, February 23, at the Holy Spirit Cathedral.
The Presiding Minister for the service, Rev. Father Wisdom Larweh, asked Christians to strive to attain perfection as Christ did.
Komla left behind a wife and three children.

Yawn. Detroit gets closer in J.D. Power's quality study.David Welch
Here's a storyline I have heard before. The Big Three are narrowing the gap on quality. J.D. Power and Associates have just released their annual Initial Quality Study, which measures problem per 100 cars in the first 90 days of ownership. Detroit's carmakers reduced problems by 10%. Their foreign foes reduced problems by just 8%. When measuring problems per 100 cars sold, no one will notice the difference.
And here's the frustrating part. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have been improving quality for years. But they rarely beat Honda or Toyota in a brand-wide measure. And they don't beat them in model-by-model comparisons often enough. Every year, they inch closer. But that doesn't send the loyal Toyota Camry or Honda Accord owner to a Chevrolet dealer.
The top 10 went like this. Lexus was number one with just 84 problems per 100 vehicles and Porsche was No. 2 with 90 problems per 100. Cadillac was third with 91 problems. From there it went:
Hyundai: 95 Honda: 99 Mercedes-Benz: 101 Toyota: 101 Ford: 102 Chevrolet: 103 Suzuki: 103 Infiniti: 106 Mercury: 106
The industry average was 108 problems per 100 cars. Every brand not mentioned above did worse. That means all of the new Chrysler's brands are below average. GM, for its part, did quite well. Cadillac was third among 37 brands. Chevrolet ranked ninth, but was close enough to Ford and Toyota that difference is just about meaningless. Mini finished last.
The problem for Detroit is that those overall numbers don't mean so much. If car buyers compare models, they would find that 10 of Toyota's cars rank in the top their in their segment, more than any carmaker. Ford had three models getting awards in their vehicle segments while GM had two and Chrysler had one, the slow-selling PT Cruiser.
That's the difference in quality that consumers will see. They will shop for a mid-sized luxury car, for example, and see that the Lexus IS was best-in-class for quality. The Infiniti G-series and Cadillac CTS tied for second, but the Lexus won. To win buyers, that Cadillac needs to leap frog the Lexus. And the American carmakers need to start recording wins, not narrow defeats.

Why all the fuss about the end of the world on December 21, 2012? And what do the Maya and Jung have to say about it?
Do we really believe the end of the world is upon us at the end of this year? It is true that our world feels full of chaos, wars, terror attacks, economic collapses, and environmental disasters. But is this really new? If we look back in history we discover that the world has been a dangerous and unpredictable place from the beginning. So, would you really prefer to live in another time with dinosaurs crashing around you, bubonic plague wiping out your community, or the inquisition stripping you of your religious choice and life? I wouldn't.
Each era offers challenges to our human race, and now is no exception. But why do we jump to the conclusion that the end of the world is coming? Perhaps it is our linear thinking that focuses on only one of two possibilities. Many believe the universe began with one Big Bang and will end in a Black Hole. Others are convinced the world began with Genesis and will end with Revelation. There are actually other ways of imagining our existence.
The Maya, for example, thought about it extensively and developed a very sophisticated conception and application of time and reality that far exceeded the rest of the world, and perhaps still does. Their surprisingly accurate calculations of dates go back millions of years and forward well into the future. So what about December 21, 2012, the so-called end of the Maya fourth world? What does that mean to them, not just what it means to us? It is their calendar and their date; we can learn something from them if we listen.
A Western thinker who wrestled with the concept of time and reality was C. G. Jung, who wrote about cyclical periods of world chaos within the aeons of time. Interestingly, both the Maya and Jung proposed the idea of circular or non-linear time. Another Western thinker, Mircea Eliade, called it sacred time. Perhaps this is what we are missing in our world today, and is a clue to why we think the world will end.
On November 29th we will hold a global seminar from Washington DC and Zurich looking at the question of will the world end on December 21st and what is the meaning behind this. We will explore the significance of time and reality, the procession of the worlds for the Maya, and how it was a fundamental part of their religion. We will discuss its significance in relation to the most important Maya document to survive the Spanish Conquest, the Popol Vuh. This sacred book of the Quiche Maya, called the Dawn of Life, contains their myth of creation and destruction that lays out the template for how humans participate with the Gods in the ever repeating cycle of life, death, and rebirth. We shall observe how this myth may apply to our world today and what we can learn from it. With all the chaos in our current world, it seems we have a lot to learn!

Jon Bon Jovi won't let a fan who plunged into Sydney Harbor and swam to a
floating stage drown in fines.
The 32-year-old fan swam with two women toward the stage where Bon Jovi was playing a free concert Friday in Darling Harbor. The two women got out of the water when asked by security staff, but the man continued on to the stage - where the New Jersey rocker helped haul him out, to a huge ovation from the crowd of 20,000.
Authorities said the swimming fan would likely be charged and fined, but it was not immediately clear how much.
"We're gonna pay his fines," Bon Jovi told reporters Saturday. "We'll deal with it for him."
Police were not impressed by his generosity.
"The laws are there to protect your safety along with the safety of others," a police spokesman said. "Young revelers shouldn't be encouraged by anyone to break the law."

After figuring out how to remove the control panel it followed the standard washer dissassembly steps. This particular unit has many hoses attached to the cabinet but they were accessible through the top cover. Using a pair of pliers the hose clamps were removed and the ring tub was removed by pulling the locking tabs away from the tub. No major problems, just take your time.

Secret Order
Conspiracy theorists love it when they're right, and they might be right about big medicine, at least according to playwright Bob Clyman's The Secret Order. The play opens just as Dr. William Shumway, a brilliant but naive young researcher in the Midwest, may have found the cure for cancer. An older and more cynical doctor, Robert Brock (who has twice been passed over for the Nobel Prize), lures Shumway to New York with promises of help and funding for his work, but Brock has more malevolent reasons for his generosity (duh, he wants to steal Shumway's research!). When Brock cuts the funding for other projects to funnel money Shumway's way, the other scientists revolt and the backstabbing begins. Secret Order has plenty of plot twists, politics and power plays as it follows the group of doctors walking the ethical tightrope known as high-stakes medicine.
Here's some theater trivia for you: All four actors in Secret Order are making their Alley debut. Broadway actor Dylan Chalfy appears as Shumway, with Larry Pine reprising his role as Brock (he played the sinister doctor in last year's New York production). Melissa Miller and Kenneth Tigar also appear.
The play officially opens on Wednesday, October 29, but you can catch it in previews until then. 8 p.m. Fridays, 2:30 and 8 p.m. Saturdays, 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Sundays, 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Through November 23. The Alley Theatre, 615 Texas. For information, call 713-220-5700 or visit www.alleytheatre.org. $40 to $55.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: Oct. 24. Continues through Nov. 23, 2008

Kota Kinabalu City Botanical Park's 24-hectare mangrove forest was designated a bird sanctuary in 1996 and is the only remaining section of the mangrove swamp that once covered this area. That makes this sanctuary very important for local species as well as northern Asian migratory birds. Various species of birds call this mangrove home, such as egrets, sandpipers, pigeons, doves, and majestic purple herons. Little creatures also inhabit these grounds so don't be surprised to see fiddler crabs, mudskippers, monitor lizards, water snakes, or mud lobsters. The best viewing of the birds is early in the morning or late afternoon.

never wrong."
Knowledge of logical fallacies is a powerful tool for both improving your own reasoning and examining the arguments of others. Many of them seem ridiculous or absurd on their faces, but people actually do formulate and fall for arguments that use them! There are many more named logical fallacies. If this whets your appetite, Wikipedia's list makes a good jumping-off point, and an introductory text on informal logic makes an even better one.
Testers need to reason with both computers and other people, and logic is at the heart of both. Whether analyzing the flow of a program, making a case for fixing an involved bug, or evaluating next quarter's development plan, a solid grounding in logic will serve testers well.

Mumbai underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, who is now hiding in Pakistan, has been identified as one of those funding banned jihadi outfit SIMI's terror campaign against India.
According to Intelligence Agencies, Dawood, who masterminded the 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai, has been routing funds to SIMI through an aeronautical engineer, C A M Basheer, from Kerala.
Believed to be SIMI's chief fundraiser, Basheer, who looked after the operations of the banned outfit in Kerala, is now hiding in Saudi Arabia. He is channeling funds through his network to about fifty SIMI terrorist outfits in India.
This disturbing fact came out during the probe of Ahmedabad serial blasts.

Seeking Advice: Installing Fuel Pump & Fuel Lines
I just put a new gas tank in my '54 Chevy pickup truck and now I want to install a new mechanical fuel pump and run a new fuel line from the tank to the pump and carb.
I've never done this before and would appreciate any helpful hints and advice.
I think I've got the procedure for installing the fuel pump clear enough ... but I have questions about running the fuel line.
Do I run as much steel line as possible; minimizing rubber fuel line? Or doesn't it matter much?
Do I go for stainless steel fuel line?
Is it better to run the fuel line inside the frame rail? Or better to run it along the outside of the frame rail? And what's the best way to secure the line to the frame rail?
Much thanks in advance!
This isn't a dig at you Alan so please don't take it that way. But I would say just answer those questions with common sense answers. Steel will last longer. Stainless even longer. Use as much steel as possible and it will last even longer. I've never done what you are doing but that's the way I'd look at it. Also inside the frame would be more protected. Now that said I will tell you my current project (66 Merc Monterey) the fuel line is made out of some kind of plastic! Looks stock so I guess if the factory felt it was ok to use a plastic line my common sense just went out the window! ;)
Alan..just as Localboy says. I'd use steel. Stainless costs more, harder to bend and flare. Stainless is for show so it can be polished to a chrome look. You never see stainless on OE cars. Use as little rubber line as possible. It's always under vacuum on the tank side and inner walls have a tendency to collapse on long lengths. I buy Adelle type clamps at a parts house for clamping to the frame...drill a #7 hole,tap it 1/4" and bolt it.
I vote for aluminum line. It is real easy to bend, never rusts and looks good too.
Thanks, everyone. I wondered about plastic ... there are so many innovative products these days. Aluminum sounds best, and Adelle clamps sounds like a winner ... I was just wondering how to clamp the line if it's running inside the frame rail -- I like the idea of it being protected that way, but I also don't want any movement to it.
Unclamped tubing inside a frame rail can chafe and wear a hole in itself from bouncing around. Use steel or aluminum along the frame rail on the outside and clamp it about every 18 inches with an insulated Adel clamp. If you plan to drag race, use an 18 inch length of stainless braided in the vicinity of the flywheel/flexplate or enclose the fuel line in an 18 inch length of protective steel tubing to prevent rupture due to an exploding component. I'm not sure how aluminum will react with the ethanol in fuels today, but I doubt it will be pretty.
Never used plastic, but I would think it would work out great. That's what has been on my old pickup truck for a quarter million miles.
Wearing a hole in the tubing is exactly what I was concerned about with running the fuel line inside the frame rail ... I can't imagine how you could secure it!
My truck is a street rod ... no drag racing intended.
Plastic sounds like the easiest to install ... I'll be making measurements today and buying all the stuff I'm gonna need. Then, I plan on doing the install tomorrow.
I'll let you all know how it goes ... and, thanks again for all your input!
I would also suggest using a large diameter, high flow fuel filter near the tank, mounted so it is easy to change. Then use a smaller filter in the engine compartment near the carburetor. You can get by with only the filter at the carburetor, but the large pre-filter is a good add-on.
Thanks, Bruce.
That's a good idea because there's no sock inside my fuel tank on the sending unit and I've been thinking about putting a fuel filter somewhere before the fuel pump.
My truck just came back from new paint and body restoration, too, and I'll be doing something very original with my bed (no kits for me). I've already made quick and easy access to my fuel tank which is a 30-gallon tank, located where the spare tire rack use to be (under the bed at the rear of the truck).
fuel pump and fuel line
Thanks for that, Bob.
What about putting a new sock in the tank, where it's suppose to be.
There's no sock on mine, but I'm gonna see if they sell 'em at the auto parts store in the morning.
HA! I hadn't thought about that one!

Angels in Australia
Page Tools
It was one of those moments from the movies, when you feel the gears of normal life grind to a halt and you enter the twilight zone.
It wasn't enough that the Pope had died that day. My car had died. In fact, its gears were OK, but it wasn't going anywhere.
One minute I was driving out of an underground shopping centre carpark, my late-night mercy mission for breakfast bread and milk completed. I was just metres away from the exit when the steering wheel stiffened, the dash lights went down and the vehicle came to a halt. I was in the blue level car park, 11.15pm, 45 minutes before it locked up for the night.
Very quickly my combat training took hold.
In fact, I completely lost my ability to think straight under pressure. I was trapped in a car park late at night with a car that had given up the ghost.
I was alone and afraid.
I pulled out my mobile and thought to ring the NRMA. Then I thought to ring my wife and tell her what had gone wrong. Then I realised - I couldn't find the bloody phone!
At first I felt I was in the Scorsese movie After Hours, where one false move has a series of bizarre knock-on effects. But a car park is a movie locale of a much more foreboding nature.
It's no accident that Hollywood employs the lonely car park for sinister confrontations. It's late, it's dark, you're alone, except for that stranger standing in a corner, and those brakes squealing in front of you ...
At least it wasn't too dark and quite warm. But then a car pulled up in the dock outside the car park. A man got out and took a swig from a wine bottle. What the hell was he up to?!
"I'm going to die now," I thought. "This is how it ends. You're going to die. Your body will be found amid bags of stale bread and discount Easter eggs."
I imagined hooded men banging on my window. I thought, "How can I build myself a bread mountain and hide in it?"
I pulled myself together long enough to leave the sinister blue level, ride the creaky goods lift that seemed to be a relic from the steam age and edge my way to the cigarette counter, always so conveniently placed in a supermarket.
The supermarket itself happens to be a noted meeting place for singles, but tonight there were no shoppers except for a couple of clusters of Asian students.
My babbling, panicked spiel at the tobacco counter was, surprisingly, met with some aplomb.
I mean, what sort of madness does the night shelf patrol encounter? I was met with the kind offer of a phone to summon the NRMA, but no, they would not be able to keep the car park open until I was able to drive away. It closed at midnight and that was it. But my first guardian angel of the night appeared from among the rollies and tailor-mades and offered to help move me out.
As we steered and pushed out, yet more angels appeared. A pair of young groovers walked up and, instead of demanding money with menaces, put their muscle behind the metal. We got the caboose past those grim gates that were soon to clang shut and I realised the worst I now faced was a long wait for a road service company. Well, it had monitored my call for quality control purposes.
My car, if you want the technical mumbo jumbo - and if you do you've come to the wrong place, had a loosened earth wire to the alternator, or so I wrote down parrot fashion when the NRMA man, Garry, who deserves an Order of the Republic, arrived and saved me.
Shopping centre car park? Piece of cake? Never had a problem there ...

Could you sign your post with a signature (four tildas)? Besides, there already exists a list of spells without incantations.
