Dhaka Comicon is back guys! This Time, Its "Bigger and Better"!
A hitchhiker's guide to Dhaka Comicon, its genesis, its influence and what to look up to as we move through the inter-galactic space and timeframe portal to Dhaka comicon 2013
An idea is nothing but a virus and pop culture is one such virus that pretty much no one can escape from in our modern times, hyperlinked by connectivity. And if so Comic Con is hence forth the petri dish of the virus. Comicon has been known all over the world (and maybe beyond, haha!) as the ultimate Pop culture event in the Universe! Boasting an arsenal of video games, movies, comic books, anime fashion, music, and the iconography of anything pop culture that makes us wow and wonder, it's every enthusiast's wet dream! This had only been a farfetched dream for many starry eyed enthusiasts on the country. However, it all changed by the revolution that has been been created by Mr. Saadi Rahman (of Incursion music) and Mr. Syed Abu Yousuf (of Roll Out); back in 2012, unsure of what the response might be like and with only a small amount of funds from their individual companies Dhaka Comicon 2012 opened its gates and witnessed a crowd of 10,000 strong! Over the 2 days. And to top it all off, these weren't your everyday run in the mill crowd! They were actual enthusiasts who spent months putting in their valuable effort, time, and money on bringing their favorite pop culture icon to life through the cosplay, be it belonging to movies, animes, games or music. If comic con is the body then these enthusiasts are the heart and blood of comic con. They are the people who make every comic con all over the world so special and unique to the others!
The founders have always known that the interest was there and was all so ever present. We Bangladeshis are a big chunk of the mass media consumers; however, one may get the feeling that we are rather non-existing to all these media and icons. Dhaka Comicon celebrates the power of the youth culture, its unification and the taste and preference of the people that celebrates it with the love and appreciation we have grown in our heart for all these icons we see beyond the borders of the LCD screen or the paper.
Post Dhaka Comicon 2012, we witnessed the emergence of numerous local characters in the formats of comic books, cartoons, games, and action figures, not to mention the birth of similar conventions as well as the opening of the very first toy museum in Bangladesh: Dhaka Museum of Toys (Click Here to read more on that)
Inside Dhaka Museum of ToysAfter receiving an overwhelming response from Dhaka Comicon 2012, Mr. Saadi Rahman saw it as an opportunity to bring to life one of his lifelong dreams which is to open Dhaka's (and hence BD's) first ever Toy Museum. The Dhaka Museum of Toys first opened its gates on July 2013 with an incredible collection of Mr. Saadi's lifelong collections also boasting an incredibly unique and one of a kind promo for it made by Flybot Studios (pop culture enthusiasts, big time!) (Scroll down to watch the promo)
This year, moving faster than the speed of light, moving right through the under-stormy ambience of the political atmosphere, Dhaka Comicon 2013 is taking place at the 25th of October. And this year it has a lot, lot more to offer! And hence their slogan "Bigger and Better". The location? Jamuna Future Park is set as the official venue of Dhaka Comicon 2013. Boasting a behemoth numberous thousands of square metres of s p a c e to well accommodate the ever so eager, loving, and passionate pop culture enthusiasts.This year's event will have Cosplay, Fan Art competition, short film contest, Graphic Novel releases, Cartoon releases, Synchronized skits from various TV programs, Live music from current headlining bands and solo artists, an indoor Museum of Collectibles, a Cineplex movie panel, and of course a long list of vendors selling their pop culture merchandise, and a super hero 3d movie film festival coordinated with Dhaka Comicon and to top it all off, an all exclusive Music video premiere of Cryptic Fate's track from their '9 Maash' album, Akromon, made by Flybot Studios…and wait! There's much more to that than just a music video premiere! You have to be there to witness something very special in store!! Dhaka Comicon 2013 will also feature collectibles from the music video. Besides the Cosplays and the many other things, the first day of the event will see the music video premiere as well as having live performances from many bands including Nemesis and Echoes. The 2nd day will see the premiere of Aushruto's latest music video followed electronic and DJ performances by Electro artists K. Sarfaraz Latifullah, Maruf Alam & Misha Ali.
I'll see you all there then!
COMICON 2013 WILL BE HELD IN JAMUNA FUTURE PARK ON NOVEMBER 8th AND 9th

laituegonflableAustralia 3.73/5 rDev -2.4% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 Pours a deep mahogany with a ruby tinge and a very generous Belgian head. Beige in colour and 4-5 fingers thick but sinks quickly, nice puffy craters on the top. Minimal trails of lace, but still a good-lookin' beer. Smell is quite dark with a sour edge. Plenty of dark fruits, primarily plum with touches of cherry/kirsch and currants. A mild mouldy, dirty smell from the yeast, quite bitter with a touch of green pepper in there. Some chocolatey malt underlying it all to make the whole thing seem more sweet than anything. Everything else just adds nice complexities around the outside. Quite sweet at first, with chocolatey notes to the malt. Develops a slight tartness towards the mid-palate with some plum fruit, kirsch and a slight vanilla flavour but without much sweetness. Mild black pepper comes through late, heading towards the finish which has a slight gravelly espresso flavour that lingers. Not overly exciting; a fairly flat, but nicely balanced, profile. Decent Belgian dubbel. Fairly full body can't quite pad the vibrant carbonation which provides a bit of sizzle on the back that, together with boozey warmth touch, is mildly harsh. Nice enough though. Yeah, decent and balanced palate with good characters. Enjoyable beer. Serving type: bottle 02-15-2011 23:40:25 | More by laituegonflable lordofthewiensMaine 4.03/5 rDev +5.5% look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 My wife and I went to our neighbor's house for dinner. My neighbor, who knows absolutely nothing about beer, bought this beer for me because he thought I might like it. I think he made a great choice. The beer was a light brown color with a thick tan head that was pretty sticky. It had a fruity aroma with a little bit of caramel. Taste was also sweet and fruity, yeasty. Nicely carbonated. I wish my neighbor had bought two of these. Serving type: bottle 08-06-2008 21:57:34 | More by lordofthewiens GCBrewingCoNorth Carolina 3.7/5 rDev -3.1% look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5 The beer poured into the chalice deep amber brown with a yellow tan head which rose tall and frothy and fell slowly to lace the glass. The aroma was fruity with dark fruits most prevalent, raisins and prunes. The aroma also contained a bit of phenolic spice kicked up by alcohol. The Belgian yeast character was also present and nicely fruity and spicy. The flavor was malty with a caramel and a metallic earthy flavor. The flavor was fruity with raisins and prunes at a moderate level, but not over the top and a nice bit of chocolate thrown in for good measure. The metallic flavors increased more and more as the beer warmed. The finish was dry with a lasting bit of tinny flavor and some spice with caramel into the aftertaste. The body was medium, but actually seemed a bit lighter due to the carbonation level. Quite tasty and easy to drink while cold but more of a chore after warming and the increasing tinny flavor. The beer also contained a sizable warming after consumption. 750 ml bottle purchased at Total Wine. Serving type: bottle 12-08-2005 00:04:27 | More by GCBrewingCo KarlHungusMinnesota 4/5 rDev +4.7% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 This beer pours a clear amber color. The head is large, rocky, and recedes very slowly into thick lacing which lasts until the beer is gone. The aroma is of caramel, cloves, ginger, and anise. The taste is like the aroma with the addition of some nice butterscotch notes in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with a velvety texture and lively carbonation. Overall, this is a nice Belgian ale. Serving type: bottle 10-19-2008 00:29:41 | More by KarlHungus GbVDaveIllinois 4/5 rDev +4.7% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Poured from a 11.2oz bottle into a St. Feuillien chalice. A: Pours a slightly hazy dark ruby brown. Two finger head that disappears and leaves virtually no lacing. S: Smells of raisins, plums, figs, nuts, and alcohol. T: Lots of dark fruit. Some brown sugar, toffee, molassas, malt, and a little hops. Loads of spicy flavors going on here. I think the hops and spice lend a dryness to it that keeps the sweetness from getting out of line. M: The warmer this beer gets the better. Right out of the fridge it was sharp and rather carbonated, sort of one dimentional. As it warmed it became smoother, a lot more rounded, and creamy. A much different animal. D: I'd love to try this one on draft. It was a pleasure to drink the bottled version of this and I bet the draft version could only be better. I've had better Dubbels and I've had worse. This one is well worth trying as it has a lot to offer. Very nice! Serving type: bottle 12-03-2006 21:03:19 | More by GbVDave ADZAAustralia 3.48/5 rDev -8.9% look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 Same bottle but mine says 8.5% and it pours a clear kola beer hue which leaves a frothy two finger head and lacing everywhere,the smell is raisins soaked in brandy,xmas pudding and nutmeg,the mouthfeel is a tad creamy,well carbonated and sweet and has tastes of chocolate coated cherries,raisins,ginger,bananna bread and finished with a sweet belgian yeasty bread flavour and basically like liquid food and after you get past the look of this it really isnt that bad but theres better out there. Serving type: bottle 12-30-2011 13:42:35 | More by ADZA clayrock81Virginia 3.78/5 rDev -1% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Pours a perfect brown with a slowly dying tan head that left a lace ring around glass. A tart cherry smell, along with possible other dark fruits permeates most in nose as there is a touch of sweet malt. A light-to-medium body with a bready/yeastiness so the beer has a dryish edge. Some minor caramel and something like vanilla gives off a touch of sweetness and there are also some dark fruit flavors. A dry, crisp finish thanks to lively carbonation. I enjoyed this beer but it seems a tad less sweet and fruity for my liking; more of a dry beer. Serving type: bottle 11-25-2010 23:14:04 | More by clayrock81 puboflyonsNew Hampshire 3.88/5 rDev +1.6% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 From the 25 fl. oz. corked bottle. Sampled on July 19, 2010. It pours a well-carbonated mahogany brown with ruby red tints and about a half inch of silky tan head that stays around. Not a lot of lacing but it does not matter to me. The aroma emits a fine balance of roasted malts, clove, and sweetness that is not unlike brown sugar. Overall this is a mellow and very drinkable beer in the tradition of Belgian Abbey ales with its malty flavor and noted hop finish. Likeable all around. Serving type: bottle 07-19-2010 23:22:19 | More by puboflyons morimechMinnesota 4.28/5 rDev +12% look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 Date on the bottle is 15/12/08. Just past the freshness date. Pours and opaque brown with a large tan head that recedes slowly to a thin cap. Moderate amount of sticky lacing is left on the glass. Rich aroma of dates, figs, cherries, and candied sugar. Also get just a hint of alcohol. Dark fruit also plays a major role in the flavor. Hints of cherries. Alcohol cleans the palate on the finish. Just a little warming from the alcohol. Medium body but a touch overcarbonated. A little harshness on the tongue. I am not big into Dubbels and Quads but I liked this one. Easy drinking with the alcohol well hiddened. Serving type: bottle 12-23-2008 23:14:18 | More by morimech argockVirginia 3.8/5 rDev -0.5% look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4 Poured from 11.2oz brown bottle into a Chimay goblet. No freshness date. From a gift pack purchased in August 2009. A: Chestnut brown with wispy beige short head with little retention or lacing. S: Sweet dark malt with caramel and slightly buttery flavors mixed with herbal hops. Light phenols. Yeast is nutty. T: Flavors are, like the aromas, a bit sweet for the style, but they are enjoyable all the same. Dark fruits like prunes, raisins, and candied figs come through followed by light phenolic character and finished with herbal hops. There is a mild leathery, nutty quality as well. Enjoyable but sweet for a dubbel. M: Smooth and creamy with active carbonation and lightly leathery, sweet fig aftertaste. D: A very drinkable dubbel but not so typical for the style. Has some features that reminds of an old ale with lower ABV. Delicious and similar to Corsendonk Dark Abbey Ale or St. Feuillien's Cuvee de Noel for the sweetness. Serving type: bottle 05-08-2010 03:02:05 | More by argock dsa7783New Jersey 3.78/5 rDev -1% look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 750 ML bottle purchased caged and corked from Buy Rite on Oak Tree in South Plainfield... Very impressive appearance, with a deep, dark, mahogany brown hue and an enormous foamy, and frothy head that bubbled with extreme lacing... Rich, malt-dominated aroma bursting with caramel, vanilla, and candied sugars... Ultra-sweet and thick, creamy, sugared taste, filled with hefty licorice flavors, caramel, and vanilla with a rich malty profile... Creamy, thick mouthfeel bursting with sweet flavors and sugar with thick molasses and syrup... Drinkability took a slight hit due to the ultra-sweet dominating flavors that pervaded this one... Overall, a very good depiction of the style, but a little much on the sweet side and heavy on the licorice... A good Dubbel, but there are better ones out there... Serving type: bottle 03-11-2008 00:57:16 | More by dsa7783 ADRPennsylvania 3.58/5 rDev -6.3% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5 Well-charged, a big yellow two inch head in a Duvel glass. Dark chestnut color, only slightly sedimented. Thick spongey lace. Muted aroma, lightly leaf-like with some musk. Light bodied and highly carbonated for a Dubbel. Flavor is tinged with a bare chocolate, lots of grape, and bittered with an initial light coffee and maybe even molasses sense. Overall, this one had a bit of trouble generating a lot of flavor for me, finishing like it starts with a touch of a phenolic sense and never really spreading out in malt profile. A little bit of alcoholic heat. Not really one of my favorites per style, more of a niche player to my tastes. Serving type: bottle 02-17-2004 15:49:02 | More by ADR rastamanUnited Kingdom (England) 3.58/5 rDev -6.3% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5 Served way too cold, had to let it warm up a bit to taste anything. Nice flavour- caramel, spice, citrus. Rich, yet nice, soft mouthfeel, a touch sticky, but nothing to really complain about, some sweetness at the start, but in no way cloying. Well rounded and feels like its well made, nice brune. Serving type: bottle 09-26-2003 02:24:24 | More by rastaman bditty187Nebraska 3.5/5 rDev -8.4% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 Seemingly clear (the liquid a bit hazier on my second pour), ruby-brown in hue; when my glass was backlit a bright tawny-garnet color is noticeable. Beige foam, at the apex the head was some three fingers tall. Head retention was fair, the bubbles slowly but steadily collapsed to a thin cap. There was no subsequent lacing of note; odd. Sad. The appearance is sound but not special. The nose is spicy, fruity, and malty which is exactly what a Dubbel should smell like. I love the aromas of alcohol soaked cake, raisin bread with a shot of spiced rum on the side. Dates, chocolate, brown sugar, some faded spices; I swear I detect a hint of menthol (?), maybe mint (?). I like what I smell; the methanol/mint aroma is odd but tolerable (as it is in the distance). The bouquet just lacks a little maltiness, IMO, but technically I suppose it is dead-on for the style. Im just being picky. The aromas are inviting and I cant wait to take a sip. My first impression of the palate was the lack of a malt backbone. Maybe I shouldnt complain. It is a Dubbel and it is sub-8% abv. I taste vodka and bread, I taste rum and cake; I taste more alcohol then I do heat and I dont really detect any alcohol strength (if that makes sense). Spicy, some cloves, some pepper lay on top of chocolate, brown sugar, and toast. It has a warmish finish, lightly malty; it is enjoyable but kind of tame. I dont really have much negative to say about the palate. I think it is a good representation of the style but it is not outstanding either. Medium in body; low but natural carbonation, the mouthfeel is a tad thin and a bit sluggish for me. Id like to see more life. No matter what I said this is a drinkable and tasty beer. While there are other Dubbels that are better there really isnt anything wrong with this one. I think my bottle is a few years old. Im not sure. Maybe it doesnt age well. I purchased my 750ml bottle in Des Moines, IA. I will drink this again. Worth a try. Serving type: bottle 10-23-2006 01:01:36 | More by bditty187 RBorsatoVirginia 4.9/5 rDev +28.3% look: 5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4 | overall: 5 Chestnut brown in color with mahogany hues to a light source, a nice light brown head, and nice carbonation up the middle. Nicely balanced malt, dark fruit, and raisin aromas and flavors. As the label states "full of flavor" yet "mellow". Incredible balance; about perfect. Medium bodied but a bit airy due to carbonation. Incredible drinkability -- St. F. beers are excellent ! Per Label: "Bottle Conditioned" & "Anno 1125" Per S.F. website: 18.00° Plato #142959 (on cork) Tasted: 05/31/07 ($8.99 / 750ml / 25.35 oz. tall straight brown wine-like bottle corked and bound with a wire strap fastener) Serving type: bottle 08-14-2007 22:36:11 | More by RBorsato BretSikkinkMexico 3.68/5 rDev -3.7% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Amber brown color with highly active carbonation, could almost pass for a dark rum if not for the large head. Very carbonated, perhaps too much so for the style. Nose is yeasty, medicinal alcohols, fermented malt. The taste is unsurprising - a decent dubbel. I think the carbonation effectively reduces the complexity enough to where its below world-class, but it would make a great introduction to Belgians for a brown ale lover. Hint of hop bitters lends a nice balance to chocolatey malts and minty phenol alcohols. Westmalles version was one of the first beers that made me say oh and I think this would have done the same - all alcohol is properly blended into the drink, slightly warming but very easy to drink. The knock is there is too much light fruity character rather than the usual dark fruits found in a dubbel, like rum raisin. This brew snap, crackle, popped its way onto a short list of sessionable dubbels, but no reason to make it a special occasion. Drinkability would have been higher but the warming alcohol at nearly 8% becomes a little much. Serving type: bottle 03-13-2007 05:37:30 | More by BretSikkink allengarvinTexas 3.9/5 rDev +2.1% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 750 ml bottle, into a Chimay glass, this beer is a hazy amber color with an airy but steady half-inch of head on top. Rather tart, lightly spicy aroma. I don't get any sweetness at all out of the nose. Nice flavor, again without much sweetness, but surprising well-attenuated malt with a touch of chocolate. Moderately fruity with interesting spicy phenols. Finish is dry and tart. An intriguing dubbel.

Saturation correcte. Smell : Arôme caramel finement houblonné et épicé, léger nez acre de levure , bien malté. Taste and mouthfeel : Saveur mi-douce et amère, bouche pleine. Arrière goût assez prolongé, plutôt sec. Drinkability : Bonne bière mi-douce équilibrée.

Smell of candisugar, light chocolate malt and some spices. My guess is cardemom and maybe orange peel. Taste is spicy with light roasted notes. The spices add an almost bitter sensation to the beer. There is a certain roasty taste to this beer that is just balancing between right and too much. Together with the spices, which add a citric, exotic spicy element, this beer is quite drinkable. Mouthfeel is not overly sweet and not too thin. Serving type: bottle 01-29-2009 21:01:19 | More by Absumaster yourefragileDistrict of Columbia 3.88/5 rDev +1.6% look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5 11.2 oz bottle poured into a Chimay goblet. A: relatively clear brown/amber color capped with a frothy tan head that has nice retention and light streaks of lacing S: strong spice and yeast aroma but i'm having trouble picking up on much more from this. T: sweet malt and yeast body, with light spicy background, both peppery and cinnamon. dry, slightly nutty finish M: very creamy and soft on the tongue, high carbonation, little alcohol presence. D: not the best dubbel or most complex (or fits the style the best), but a very nice beer, drinkable beer.

A: Slightly hazy chestnut brown. A dense cream cap is slow to form and quickly retreats to a thin film. Leaves spots of lace. S: Sweet chocolate really stuck out at first. As the beer warmed, raisins and prunes crept it with a very vinous aroma. Alcohol adds balance and a light tingle to the nose. T: Very wine like out front, with lots of dried fruit flavors. The heavy chocolate from the nose retreats to the background. Bitterness is mild and brings a pleasant pepper bite. Alcohol adds an extra source of balance and a nice warmth going down. M: The slick body has a very fine tingling carbonation. D: I started out with this beer way too cold. After giving it some quality time to warm up, I came away quite impressed. The flavor is up there with some of the better dubbels I've had.

The aroma at first is musty. This doesn't last, malty aromas dominate as the beer warms. The flavor improves as well as the beer warms, it's dominated by malt, the hops aren't especially noticeable but do a nice job of balancing this beer. Definitely worth a try. Serving type: bottle 06-29-2008 14:01:18 | More by Drew966 Proteus93Virginia 3.83/5 rDev +0.3% look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 A: Quite a dark hazy brown pour... the head looks fabulous, though. A yellowish-golden shade, and very creamy, and about a finger and a half tall. Retention is alright. S: The brewer's glassware does the aroma well. A warm scent of dates, raisins, and dark bread. Slight whiffs of banana are noted, along with a touch of 'tobacco box.' A very pleasant aroma. T: Flavour is not as expressive as the scent. It is still a nice tasting brew, with dark fruit, creamy toffee, and a little hint of something gingerbread like. It seems just a touch weak, like it wants to be more expressive and just can't. M: A soft, shimmering carbonation that offers just a little bite right off the tip of the tongue first. Body is quite smooth, if perhaps a little 'dull.' Certainly not too bad, though. D: Not a bad brew, and a wonderful, wafting aroma. I might not be too quick to pick it up a second time, but it's certainly worth the shot and it does have some very pleasing qualities that would have me consider it again.

Tough love for settlers
Page Tools
A Jewish settler weeps in the arms of an Israeli soldier as a
synagogue is dismantled at Nisanit in northern Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was once an unbending champion of the settlers he is now driving out of Gaza. So what has changed? By Laura King in Jerusalem.
Whenthe last Jewish settlers leave the Gaza Strip, it will be the culmination of an extraordinary personal and political odyssey for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the man who almost single-handedly created the settlement movement.
Sharons decision to uproot the settlers he nurtured for so long is one of the great turnarounds in modern Israeli political history. Yet even those who have closely studied the 77-year-old leader are hardpressed to say whether Sharon has reinvented himself or whether he is acting in a manner entirely consistent with his core beliefs.
Its a kind of cognitive dissonance, really, says Tel Aviv University analyst Tamar Hermann. In some ways, leaving Gaza in this manner seems so at odds with the ethos he has always represented the toughness, the refusal to ever offer anything without something guaranteed in return.
Whether as hard-charging army general or backroom politician, Sharon has always considered his lifes mission to be that of defending the Jewish people. And he has been unwavering in his contention that relinquishing Gaza is part and parcel of that.
There are people who cant stand him, and people who criticise him for all kinds of emotional reasons ... and people who have real questions about his character and judgement, says Abraham Diskin, a Hebrew University political scientist. But I truly think he is convinced, convinced utterly, that these are the right moves for Israel.
Heavy price
Sharon has already paid a heavy political price for the Gaza pull-out, which was set in motion early on Monday with soldiers knocking at settlers doors and telling them they had 48 hours to leave. In the 18 months since he unveiled the withdrawal plan, Sharon has been reviled as a dictator and a traitor, subjected to death threats by Jewish extremists, and now stands in real danger of losing the leadership of the Likud Party he helped found.
At times, it has appeared that only the sheer force of personality that earned him the nickname Bulldozer carried him to this point.
I have no regrets, Sharon told the Yediot Aharonot newspaper last week in the nail-biting final days before the pullout began. Even if I knew the scope of opposition in advance, I would do it. Few public figures tap into more elements of Israels national mythology or its sense of collective identity. Sharon is a member of the Jewish states fast-dwindling founding generation, a decorated veteran of its many wars, but one whose battlefield excesses and hardline politics made him the bete noire of the Israeli peace camp.
Sharon decisively won elections as Prime Minister in 2001 and 2003 based largely on a single factor: Israelis trusted him to take whatever measures were needed, however harsh they might be, to halt Palestinian militants campaign of suicide attacks in Israeli cities even though many blamed his September 2000 foray onto Jerusalems Temple Mount, a site sacred to both Jews and Muslims, for sparking the second intifada.
International isolation
As Prime Minister, Sharon sent troops storming into nearly every Palestinian town and city in the West Bank, ordered repeated raids on the crowded refugee camps of the Gaza Strip and authorised the construction of a separation barrier that Palestinians said was gobbling up land rightfully belonging to them. Palestinian attacks fell off sharply. But the iron fist wielded by Israel led to growing international isolation. The World Court sharply rebuked Sharons Government over the separation fence. Wellrespected domestic rivals floated informal peace initiatives that were warmly received inside and outside the country.
Sharon was under growing pressure to somehow break the deadlock with the Palestinians but he had declared Yasser Arafat persona non grata and could not bring himself to negotiate with any government led by his long-time nemesis.
During this period, close aides have said, he searched for a gesture that would dramatically demonstrate Israels intent to accept eventual Palestinian statehood but not harm the national security.
The Gaza initiative was foreshadowed during Sharons most recent campaign for prime minister, when he repeatedly warned supporters within his conservative Likud Party that painful concessions were in the offing.
Yet the pull-out plan caught his traditional constituency by surprise. They responded at first with bafflement, then with blossoming outrage.
Sharon had personally championed the creation of the Gaza settlements decades earlier, part of a defensive strategy he pioneered in the wake of the 1967 Middle East War.
In his autobiography, Warrior, Sharon described prowling the length and breadth of the newly seized territory, trying to figure out how best to defend it.
I spent ... months walking through Gazas orange groves and refugee camps, he wrote. Id get up in the morning, pack a lunch and a canteen of water, take my chief of intelligence and head off to that days sector. I did it methodically, walking every square yard of each camp and grove.
1970s plan
The plan Sharon conceived in the early 1970s is imprinted on the maps that security forces evacuating Gaza settlers are poring over today: Jewish communities thrust like five fingers to divide the narrow seaside strip into segments. That this measure would isolate and impoverish the territorys Palestinian inhabitants was simply not part of Sharons strategic thinking.
Standing with cabinet members on a high hill of dunes, I pointed out exactly what I thought we needed if in the future we wanted in any way to control this area, he wrote. I told them we would need to establish a Jewish presence now.
Sharon succeeded in securing Gaza, but never in subduing it. The territory, dotted with sprawling slums and foetid refugee camps, was the birthplace of the Palestinians first intifada, from 1987 to 1993, and became a stronghold of Palestinian militant groups such as Hamas throughout the conflict that erupted in 2000.
The settlements, claiming a fifth of Gazas arable land, half its Mediterranean coastline and a disproportionate share of its scarce freshwater resources, were a constant and festering source of grievance to the Palestinians. As military deaths in defence of the settlements mounted, Sharon gradually came to view the Israeli presence in Gaza as a security liability, not an asset.
More crucially, he saw Gaza as a demographic time bomb. Israel, he believed, could not maintain both its democratic character and its Jewish majority if it held fast to the territory.
Changing circumstances
Despite his unyielding persona, Sharon has always been able to perceive and act on changing circumstances; adaptability was perhaps his greatest military strength. It was he who oversaw the dismantling of Israels settlements in the Sinai Peninsula after the landmark 1979 Camp David accords led to a peace treaty with Egypt, which he supported.
When it comes to him, nothing, but nothing, surprises me, said Uzi Benziman, an Israeli journalist and author of an unflattering Sharon biography titled An Israeli Caesar. A supporter of the Gaza initiative, Benziman believes the Prime Minister is motivated by political opportunism but also by his notion of what is good for the country.
Hes someone who is completely uninhibited about going back on promises, Benziman said. He really, really doesnt care what anyone thinks.

So, the Miami Heat are the favorites to win the NBA title and the Charlotte Bobcats are the longest shot. Some things never change.
Below are the NBA championship odds for all 30 teams, courtesy online gaming site Bovada. Remember that odds are not there to tell you who the book thinks will win, rather it's about predicting what the public thinks, placing odds that will draw in betters and maximize return to the bookmakers. They are in this for profit.
Now, if I were a gambler (and no, I do not bet NBA) I would be looking for the best return on my investment, which means the Heat at just a hair over 2-1 may be the clear favorites but they are not a great bet. Of the three elite NBA title contenders, I would bet on the Thunder because I could make 4.5 for every one of my dollars if they win. Also, I might bet Boston because even though they need a lot of things to go right to have a shot at a ring, they have a puncher's chance and would pay well at 18-1.
But for the record, we are not endorsing or suggesting you bet.
Miami Heat 11/5
Los Angeles Lakers 5/2
Oklahoma City Thunder 9/2
Chicago Bulls 14/1
Boston Celtics 18/1
San Antonio Spurs 18/1
Los Angeles Clippers 25/1

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The idea of merging the Fresno Police Department and the Fresno County Sheriff's Office is not new. The Chamber of Commerce studied the idea six years ago, and Chamber President Al Smith encouraged the city to study it again.
Smith told the city council, "This is well worthwhile pursuing again, the payoff can be tremendous if we succeed."
Six of the seven council members agreed and hired consultant Jerry Newfarmer for $50 thousand to study consolidation. "The goal is to save money." He told the council.
One council member who's seen this all before is Sal Quintero. He was the only vote against the study. He questioned Police Chief Jerry Dyer on the need to pay for another study.
"What about the idea of maybe you sitting down with Sheriff Mims and seeing what kind of services you two could come up with and integrate without having to spend $50 thousand?" He asked.
Police Chief Jerry Dyer said such discussions have gone on, but noted neither he or the sheriff can make the necessary budget decisions. He noted past consolidation efforts fell short because of the upfront costs of new buildings and equipment. He also feared this study could be divisive.
Chief Dyer explained, "We've gone through some difficult times over the last few years in city government and county government and what I have found is there is a lot of finger pointing that's occurring there's a lot of blame and we're not working as close together as we used to."
Sheriff Mims told the City Council she already has agreements with every other city in the county to share services, and questioned the need for the city to hire a consultant. But said she would do what she could.
Mims added, "I don't have a lot of staff time to give to this but I will give you whatever time I possibly can."
The chairman of the Fresno County Board of Supervisors, Debbie Poochigian told Action News she has no problem with another study, as long as the city pays for it.

Crazy Bones Toy is a phenomenal toy sensation that hit the world of kids in the past decade. The toy refers to little, colorful, and cute figurines that kids find irresistible to keep and collect. History has it that the toy is inspired by the knucklebone toys that children of the Ancient Greek and Roman periods played. The figurines are regarded as modernized versions of knucklebones and have been upgraded through creating various designs, characters, and names.
Because of the collectible nature of Crazy Bones Toy, it goes without saying that different editions carry with them a certain value. There are common, mass-produced pieces, there are collections in the middle-priced range, and there are rare pieces tirelessly being sought by the most avid collectors.
Crazy Bones Toy won't be called so for nothing. Aside from being colorful, lovely items, the figurines can also be utilized in a variety of crazy bones games. The most traditional game method is to flick zithromax 1 gram the bones against the opponents' bones and outdo one another in the number of pieces that will be knocked over. Other game modes include on-line darting, bowling, bombing, air throwing, and box shooting. Crazy Bones Toy is a kind of valuable that kids will keep for its sheer smallness and visually pleasing designs.

(Soundbite of timer)
GUY RAZ, host:
After 3,600 stories and countless hours of reading, here's the moment we've all been waiting for: It's time to announce the winner of Round Two of our Three-Minute Fiction contest.
Now, I'm going to need some help with that. So let's bring in James Wood. James, are you there?
Mr. JAMES WOOD (Literary Critic, The New Yorker): I am.
RAZ: James Wood, of course, is the New Yorker's literary critic and our guide this round to Three-Minute Fiction.
James, we asked listeners to send in original short stories that can be read in three minutes or less, hence the name Three-Minute Fiction. But we made this round a bit more challenging by assigning a first line, which was...
Mr. WOOD: The line was: The nurse left work at five o'clock.
RAZ: Okay, what did our listeners do with that first line, James?
Mr. WOOD: They did amazing things. The standard story, which I hadn't expected at all, seemed to involve a nurse walking home, immediately lighting up a cigarette, and then as soon as she gets home, dissolving into alcoholism.
(Soundbite of laughter)
An interesting number of stories twisted it around so that it wasn't the perspective of the nurse, it was from the perspective of the patient as the nurse leaves the room, which was a nice thing to do.
And some wonderful stories, a good number, dispensed entirely with that kind of ordinariness, predictability, whatever, and just played wonderful games and arabesques with this idea. I have a few examples, if you'd like to hear them.
RAZ: Yeah, please, absolutely.
Mr. WOOD: Two terrific stories that were in tight contention with the eventual winner, Lisa Sarasohn's story, "Poetry at Six," is set in a creative writing class, and someone is actually speaking that first line and then doing an analysis of why it's a good line of poetry, sort of scanning it for meter.
And Will Dowd's story, "The First Session," is about a nurse leaving work and going to a marriage counseling session, only to find that her husband, a quantum physicist, has been exhibiting what is called quantum behavior. It's very funny. They're both extremely funny stories.
RAZ: And we'll be posting those online, as well, with the winning story. All right, James, we've been waiting long enough. Reveal our winner for us, please.
Mr. WOOD: The winner is Cathy Formusa. And we have here a terrific story, and I would love to read it out.
RAZ: So this story that you're about to read is called "Last Seen." It's by Cathy Formusa from Port Townsend, Washington. James, the story, please.
Mr. WOOD: (Reading) The nurse left work at five o'clock. He sauntered his words at me like he was king of the street.
How do you know, Pablo? Maybe you went cold, had a flash, you know, blacked out, and when you woke up, you thought it was five? I was pushing him now, just to see how sure he was.
I like her. He lowered his head humbly for a moment, then abruptly continued in a strength I hadn't ever seen or felt from him before. She brings me coffee sometimes at five o'clock. It was five o'clock when my angel in white brought me coffee. And she smiles at me, my coffee angel. No starbucko never done that for me, but my angel does at five o'clock. She left at five, and I saw her.
Pablo karate-chopped his right hand, slicing the air between us to make his point. He smelled so ripe in the afternoon's August heat. I let it go. I handed him a few bucks and continued my search for her killer.
RAZ: Wow, what a story. James, Cathy Formusa has been listening on the line from her hometown of Port Townsend, Washington.
Cathy Formusa, congratulations and welcome.
Ms. CATHY FORMUSA (Winner, Three-Minute Fiction, Round Two): I'm absolutely honored. Thank you.
Mr. WOOD: Congratulations, Cathy.
Ms. FORMUSA: Thank you so very much. Do I get to call myself a writer now?
Mr. WOOD: I think you decidedly do.
(Soundbite of laughter)
In fact, one of the questions I would have is whether you've been writing regularly up to this moment.
Ms. FORMUSA: No, I've always had this novel in my head, and I started writing it about a year ago. And I had left my main character in the Amazon, and she's actually on a shaman's drug trip right now, and I think that's why I took a break and wrote your story.
(Soundbite of laughter)
RAZ: Cathy, what do you do out there in Port Townsend?
Ms. FORMUSA: Coming up, 2010 will be my 20th year as a massage therapist.
RAZ: Oh, wow.
Ms. FORMUSA: Yeah, I love it.
RAZ: We clocked your story at 50 seconds. So you could probably inaugurate our one-minute fiction contest. You had two minutes, 10 seconds to work with.
(Soundbite of laughter)
RAZ: You won with a 50-second story. James Wood, what distinguished Cathy's story from the other finalists?
Mr. WOOD: Well, you put your finger on it. First of all, brevity. In both this contest and the last one, I was looking for something that absolutely pushed the form as tightly as possible, most approximated to poetry, to some mysterious, snatched anecdote, and this has it.
It doesn't start the way you expect it to, it doesn't proceed the way you expect it to, it doesn't end the way you expect it to.
Ms. FORMUSA: Yeah.
Mr. WOOD: And I like particularly this possibility that the entirety of it is illusion, you know, that he's just having a trip or, you know, he's just making it up and is wasting the detective's time.
RAZ: Pretty high praise, Cathy, from James Wood.
Ms. FORMUSA: Wow, that is so nice to write something and not only to have it read the way that I had the voices in my head and the characters, but also to hear those comments. They just - they feel so good because I wondered if I really got that across to anybody.
RAZ: Cathy, how did you sort of come up with the conceit behind this story?
Ms. FORMUSA: Well, I thought it was so descriptive - the nurse left work at five o'clock. Boy, boom, an image. And then I thought, who saw her? And then I saw this character, this street man, and then I fell in love with him, and then I decided to bring in a detective.
RAZ: Do you have any formal training as a writer? Did you ever take any writing workshops or anything like that?
Ms. FORMUSA: Nope, just Mrs. Johnson(ph), junior high, saying that's good, Cathy, keep going. Thank you very much.
(Soundbite of laughter)
RAZ: Now, you are, Cathy, you are actually talking to us from your boyfriend's home sound studio in Port Townsend because you are way out on the Olympic Peninsula, about an hour and a half from Seattle, right?
Ms. FORMUSA: Yes. We can wave to Victoria, Canada, like Sarah Palin can wave to Russia.
(Soundbite of laughter)
RAZ: I heard that your boyfriend, Gary(ph), has made waffles for the entire town of Port Townsend every Sunday since 1969.
Ms. FORMUSA: Yes. It was his grandmother's tradition, and he kept it up. And every Sunday morning, he opens up his house to whoever drops in, and there are a lot of characters in our town, and it's a lot of fun.
Mr. WOOD: I can hear a story coming already.
Ms. FORMUSA: Oh, my goodness. Every person in this town is a story.
RAZ: I also heard a rumor that you once gave a massage to the former poet laureate, Billy Collins, after he came in for those Sunday waffles. Is that true?
Ms. FORMUSA: Oh, he came to visit our town for a Port Townsend Film Festival, and his back went out. So I helped him out.
RAZ: And you gave him a massage.
Ms. FORMUSA: I did.
RAZ: James, do you have any plans for next Sunday morning?
Mr. WOOD: Well, now you say it, my back is a little bit sore.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. FORMUSA: We use real maple syrup and real whipped cream.
RAZ: Oh, not for the massage, though, just for the waffles.
Ms. FORMUSA: Oh, the massage. We'll talk.
RAZ: That's Cathy Formusa, whose short story, "Last Seen," is the winner of Round Two of our Three-Minute Fiction contest. You can read Cathy's story, as well as those of the runners up, and other contenders at our series' page. It's www.npr.org/threeminutefiction with Three-Minute Fiction all spelled out.
Cathy, thanks so much and good luck to you.
Ms. FORMUSA: Thank you so much. And James, I'm looking forward to reading your book.
Mr. WOOD: Thank you very much.
RAZ: And as Cathy mentioned, she will received a signed copy of James Wood's book, "How Fiction Works." James is The New Yorker's literary critic. He teaches at Harvard, and he is the judge of the first two rounds of Three-Minute Fiction.
James, thanks so much for your help.
Mr. WOOD: Pleasure.
RAZ: We're going to take a break from Three-Minute Fiction for just a short while, but we will be back with new challenges, new judges, and of course, new stories from you.

Many years ago, horsemen invented blinders to keep their horses focused on their work. Blinders are pieces of leather attached to the horse's bridle that prevent them from seeing anything except what's in front of them.
Without blinders, a horse can see almost completely behind itself without turning it's head and can be easily spooked by movement or objects it doesn't recognize. By having fewer distractions the horse is more dependable and stays focused on getting the job done.
As a trader, I always discovered that whenever I started comparing my trading performance with other traders, my performance would usually worsen. This "distraction" cost me lots of money in terms of losses.

Posted: 04/23/2013
PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLA. -- An increase in median home prices and a decrease in homes for sale has has signaled the end of the housing crisis, realtors told WPTV NewsChannel 5 on Tuesday.
In Palm Beach County, median home prices have risen to $249,894 -- a 28 percent increase from the same time one year ago.
Single-family home sales also increased 12 percent from the same time one year ago.
"We're just coming off of a bottom, so to be seeing consistent price increases is a very good thing for everybody," said Kevin Kent, a past president of the Palm Beach County Realtors Association. "The pricing that we're seeing in the increases right now is from people buying houses to live in. They're not the people that were buying houses to flip them and make quick money."
Lacy Russell, a West Palm Beach resident, said she spent the past two years in search of a home.
Russell purchased a small cottage in December.
"When I was looking, inventory was very low. There wasn't a lot out there. And, everything that was, it was like a bidding war," Russell said.
The Palm Beach County Realtors Association said there were fewer homes being sold for under $100,000.
Most of the homes for sale, it said, were being sold for $200,000 or more.

I took my Lefty DLR2 apart when I first got it to see which weight spring was installed and since then have had problems with my lock out lever. The lever now rotates the counter clockwise to lock out as opposed to the clockwise of most Lefties. When descending rock gardens and other rough terrain, the lever slowly migrates to the new lockout position, which can be a real pain on a four mile descent. I have personally reinstalled the lever three times and my mechanic has tried about 6 times, yet we can't get anything to work. Any advice? Thanks.

Does Buying Furniture Stress You Out?
I bought my first couch over the weekend. In previous apartments, I'd had hand-me-down furniture or furniture that I purchased with my roommate. So this was a major purchase for me, and I have to say, it kind of stressed me out. I was worried about making the wrong decision when it came to spending such a large amount of […]
Are You Done?
Shopping, I mean? Are all your presents bought, wrapped, and nestled snugly under your tree? (Or hidden someplace where Snoopy McSnoopers can't find them?) Of course they are…unless you're like 52 percent of Americans who still need to finish their gift-hunting, or 24 percent who (gasp) haven't even started yet, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey. If you're one of the (apparently) many who are still twirling from store to store in a last-minute panic, here are some tips to keep your wallet from self-combusting.

Had a Mark 1 Sirocco Storm as a company car (shame your photo is of a Mark 2) in the metallic green / black leather interior. Truly great car to drive, very quick but very forgiving... Must remain one of the real classic shapes ever, despite it's high engine inherited from the Golf. Even the front spoiler looked perfect! Mine had a pull-out glass roof (useless) electric windows (added, and slow) and foglights. Only problems were clutch cable pulling through the bulkhead and losing a valve... (read more)

Gotta admit i love my Volkswagen Scirocco Storm Mk1 its a 1979 model
in Noisette brown, Tan leather with the above spec (good and bad) for a car over 20 years old i think it was very highly spec'd, the car to drive is absolutley amazing and the for cornering is excellent, i can hammer the car into corners put my foot down spin the wheels and point and it will still go exactly where i want it to, but for £275 english sterling who am i argue...and where would i get a better spec'd car..
