2012 Honda NC700X: First Look
Honda introduced lightweight crossover motorcycles at the Milan Auto Show last year. These newly fangled middleweight crossover motorcycles ranked real-world fun above out-and-out performance. Recently in an announcement, American Honda told that one of the three newly fangled adventurous-looking bikes the 2012 Honda NC700X will be entering the US market this year.

First Look At 2012 Moto Guzzis & Aprilias
Moto Guzzi and Aprilia are the motorcycle brands of Piaggio, and this time around the two of them are introducing around half a dozen new models for year 2012. So, considering the fact that we are associated with international motorcycle market in a deep way, it's our moral duty to keep our readers updated on each and every front.

We'd start with Aprilia, and will like to tell that this time around the company will be bringing back the fabulous bad-boy Tuono, which this time around will be having V4 R in its name, because of the 2 extra cylinders, extra horsepower of 41-bhp and extra pounds of 22-lbs.

2012 Suzuki V-Strom 650 Adventure : First Ride
In the modern times where the sportbikes are all about urbane electronic shamanism, along with traction control and 200-bhp, the normal practical sportbikes are going a bit off focus. But that's not to say that not everyone can handle that advanced wizardry and that paramount of modern day biking. Now cut that 200-horsepower by two third and pair it with real operative components and the riders gets a potent and fun-to-ride bike. And the all-new 2012 Suzuki V-Strom 650 Adventure that we are covering today exactly is one of those bikes. We all know that since their inception, the V-Strom bikes have developed an offbeat followings, along with the Wee-Strom creating a position as a multipurpose middleweight. The Suzuki V-Strom 650 entering this year brings a welcome brew of new fragrances in the lineup of Suzuki (the bigger V-Strom [...]

2012 BMW G650GS Sertao : First Ride
BMW has reintroduced their 650 dual sport single-cylinder motorcycle for model year 2012, which previously was known as the BMW F650GS Dakar. Having its roots back in 1993 and the unique F 650 single-cylinder Funduro, the newly launched G650GS Sertao and G650GS symbolizes the next phase in the fruition of the GS lineup of BMW. Just as the initial model, the newly launched 2012 BMW G650GS Sertao is a tad more than the twin sport, and that's because it is been aimed directly at the escalating escapade touring sector, and to be more precise the new riders in the adventure touring segment. BMW is hoping that the dual-cylinder F800GS has matched the requirement in past some years, but the increasing demand of a low-priced, even fewer-threatening ADV bike helped ease the comeback of one of our old favorites. The 2012 BMW G650GS [...]

2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special
We've seen some brawny looking tough, nasty Harley Davidson in the past, but no one comes closer to the 2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special. The Night Rod Special boasts Pro Stock lineage, black-x-infinity color design and drag strip stance, which gives it the nastiest look we've seen in any Harley Davidson in recent times. But that's not it that separates the Night Rod Special from all its stablemates there's a lot more than that. Unlike the air-cooled models, which hare more talk than business, from the Milwaukee manufacturer this V-Rod is a liquid-cooled model and delivers the essential performance punch. With its Revolution V-twin 1250 cc engine cranking up an estimated 125-bhp and a stout, rear tire of 240-width for transferring the power to pavement, this V-Rod enters the market with a clear intention [...]

2012 Honda CBR1000RR – First Look
We wont be lying when we say that we weren't all that impressed by the 2012 Honda CBR1000RR. This especially is because of the fact that it actually is the 20th Anniversary of the novel RR-labeled Superbike, the Honda CBR900RR, which actually transformed the world of Sportbike in 1992. And we are pretty sure that anyone who was expecting the similarly ruthless model for this year will certainly be disappointed as well, because of the upgraded suspension elements and a small bit of restyling are the only updates that the Big Red flagship Superbike of Honda has been given. The largest news for 2012 Honda CBR1000RR is the inclusion of the Big Piston Fork from Showa that immerses the springs in oil right at the base of the legs and places bigger, upper-flowing pistons positioned above to give silky damping action and better front-end [...]

November 13, 2002
It Takes a Wedding (ALEX KOTLOWITZ, November 13, 2002, NY Times)With the Republican victory last week, Congress now appears likely to set aside funding for programs that promote marriage among the poor. A friend who provides services for inner-city children declared this marriage push "nuts." That had been my initial reaction, as well. But now I wonder if the conservatives who are driving this effort might be on to something.There's a shift in the winds in our inner cities. On the heels of a fatherhood movement (which, incidentally, also had conservative roots), more and more young couples are considering marriage. A long-term study of 5,000 low-income couples has found that eight of 10 who have a child together have plans to marry. "I was out in the field all of the time, interviewing low-income single mothers," Kathy Edin, a sociologist at Northwestern University, told me. "And what really struck me in those interviews was how many people talked about the desire to get married. And I would go back, you know, and talk to my friends in academia and they would say, 'Oh, they can't mean that.' But I would hear it again and again." [...]
[T]here is now growing consensus among social scientists that, all things being equal, two parents are best for children. It would seem to follow that two-parent families are also best for a community. It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes families to build a village. [...]
Even if conservatives don't know how to get there, at least they recognize that marriage, this very private institution, has very public consequences. Liberals, who have a much firmer understanding of the obstacles poor people face, need to enter that conversation.
First, let me say that one sure sign you're becoming a right-wing paranoiac is that the main thing that strikes you about this essay, and that PBS Frontline is running a related documentary--FRONTLINE: 'Let's Get Married' (PBS, 11/14/01, 9 pm)--this week, is that they waited until after the election to acknowledge the efficacy of a conservative crusade.
Posted by Orrin Judd at November 13, 2002 12:30 PM
This is a very good sign. It also shows why Republicans need to work hard to implement their policies. Talking to liberals doesn't persuade; showing
and telling does. Welfare reform had a lot of liberal opponents in 1995, but in 2002 most recognize its goodness. So it will be the rest of the conservative agenda. What is on the right today will be in the center in five years, if we implement it tomorrow.
Mickey Kaus
, of course, noticed this article and commented that the large elephant in the room, welfare reform, wasn't mentioned. No one claims that economics is the only thing that matters, but incentives certainly matter some. Welfare reform has helped make it economically more sensible to marry (and have fewer kids out of wedlock), and that does have an effect on the margins.

Definitely not "in the bag" yet but they feel very good about their positioning with those two. Enjoy the next few days and get excited for Wednesday as we're going to have some great coverage on this site.

Jewish Holiday Celebrated By Occupying Wall Street
The Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot has begun, and some are melding the observance with the various Occupy Wall Street protests throughout the country. Ari Daniel Shapiro spent some time with observers in Boston and has this report.
Copyright © 2011 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
Huge crowds marched yesterday against a number of social concerns gripping the country: health care, corporate greed, unemployment. Solidarity demonstrations linked to the Occupy Wall Street movement took to the streets from New York to San Francisco. In Boston, protesters were supported by a different kind of observance. Reporter Ari Daniel Shapiro was there Friday night and has this report.
ARI DANIEL SHAPIRO, BYLINE: So, we're downtown Boston. It's raining. And Dewey Square - this is the site of Occupy Boston.
LEAH MADSEN: That's right. Right across the street here is the encampment.
SHAPIRO: Leah Madsen is bundled into a red raincoat. She leads me past rows of evenly spaced tents. We reach the corner and Madsen points to the reason she's brought me here. A nine-foot-tall rectangular hut with colorful fabric walls and a roof made of branches stands on the grassy corner.
MADSEN: It might be a little muddy over here.
SHAPIRO: This is a sukkah, a structure built for the Jewish harvest holiday of Sukkot.
MADSEN: Back in biblical times, Israelites would celebrate the end of the harvest out in the fields in these temporary huts. And today we still build a sukkah. You're supposed to eat in it, you're supposed to sleep in it, you're really supposed to dwell in the sukkah.
SHAPIRO: Madsen is an organizer with the Workmen's Circle, a center for Jewish culture, and one of numerous groups that helped coordinate the festivities here. Sukkot celebrates abundance and harvest, but it's also about the vulnerability of being inside a hut open to the elements. Madsen sees these themes echoed in the Occupy movement; an abundance of creativity and passion and the vulnerability of those with fewer resources.
JOCELYN BERGER: Hi, everybody.
SHAPIRO: It's the start of Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath. Jocelyn Berger stands in the sukkah, leading services for the 20 people who've gathered nearby.
BERGER: Ok, (foreign language spoken). This invites us to sing to God. I would like to add, let's sing to Occupy Boston. (singing in foreign language)
SHAPIRO: Over the next half hour, the crowd grows to about 50, and the rain lets up. At the edge of the group, I find a couple onlookers.
VLADIMIR ALBON, JR.: I'm Vladimir Albon, Jr. One of the songs that they were singing, they were talking about, like, how they're all friends and they are happy to be here. And I was just, like, oh, wow, this is pretty cool.
SHAPIRO: Boston's one of several cities across the country with sukkahs at the Occupy protests. Annie Fox is with the Jewish Alliance for Law & Social Action. For her, both the Occupy Movement and the holiday of Sukkot are reminders of our fragility.
ANNIE FOX: We remind ourselves of the people who are homeless, of the people who are struggling, of the people who are facing unemployment. We remind ourselves of the struggle of the past and the struggle of the present.
SHAPIRO: Near the end of the service, the group sings the shehechyanu, a blessing that celebrates doing something for the first time. It's this group's first time gathering at this sukkah to celebrate Shabbat. The rain starts up again. The colorful umbrellas pop open. And everyone keeps on singing. For NPR News, I'm Ari Daniel Shapiro.

Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Electronic Arts, Major Nelson, Microsoft
The tale of Electronic Arts is currently filled with a lot of weird bulldoody, to use the polite term. They've been offering a lot of microtransactions in their recent video game outings for the Xbox 360, and these have really turned the tide of gamers' opinion against them. From paying to unlock content in Tiger Woods, to football tutorial vids, to having to double-down for special items in The Godfather, and most recently with the Need for Speed: Carbon items, the microtransaction scheme has really hit the heart of gamers hard.
A post on Aeropause mentions that Xbox Community Editor "Trixie" said something on Major Nelson's NFS: Carbon post that summed up gamers' feelings: "Did you see the teenager who confessed to raping his mother? Either he's watched way too many French films, or he works for EA."
Of course, we can't confirm this anymore as the comment has apparently been deleted, but comments on Major Nelson's post haven't really stopped. The Major tells everyone in one of the comments,
It's still unclear to me: *IS* this content available on other platforms within the games? If so, then no..I am not happy about this. I need to do more digging on this, but I have sent off some rather terse emails to some folks to get to the bottom of this. I am also not happy about you guys not being happy.
Even if EA isn't doing as well as it'd like, and even if EA wants to continue making microtransactions, Microsoft has to be the one to approve it for dispersal on Live. We hope these emails are being sent to more than just EA, else Trixie had it right. Gamers are going to be stabbed right where it hurts the most: in their game-loving hearts.
This story sucks? This story rocks! |

RAWALPINDI: Complying with the demands of the locals, the police on Friday barred Ahmadis from entering their worship centre in Satellite Town, Rawalpindi.
Leading the locals, businessman Sharjeel Mir told The Express Tribune that three days back on a consensus, it was decided to prevent any sort of worship in the centre.
Mir said that at a meeting called by the locals which was attended by DCO Saqib Zafar, Superintendent of Police Matloob Hussain, ulemas and other officials, it was decided that the worship centre will now be used only as a residence and if their demands are not met, then they will launch a protest.
The businessman also said that a congregational prayer followed by a demonstration outside the worship centre was planned in case the consensus was degraded.
Today, fearing a huge turnover at the expected protest, the police had barred Ahmadis from entering the premises.
A representative of the Ahmaddiya community told The Express Tribune on condition of anonymity that the police officials present there kept telling them that the move had been made to prevent any possible scuffle as a result of the protest.
The police confined the Ahmadis present inside the worship place and barred the ones coming from outside.
The Ahmaddiya community representative further said that the prayers scheduled for today have been hindered.
A deadline of March 1 had been set by a religious group for the fulfilment of their demands by the Ahmadis.
Last Friday, around 700 locals had gathered outside the same worship centre, demanding the removal of barricades and CCTV cameras installed outside it.
Backed by a Jihadi organization, the protestors had alleged that "unconstitutional" activities were being carried out in the worship centre.
However, the community had emphasised that they had committed no unlawful activities and had pleaded that the hate campaign be stopped so they could feel safe in the area.
Sad and no comments.
Kudos to living in a land where people are discriminated against on the basis of religion. We are a despicable lot indeed.
What a pathetic country.
"Backed by a Jihadi organization, the protestors had alleged that "unconstitutional" activities were being carried out in the worship centre."
Bravo ET..
What a shame. People of other creeds barred from worship. Where are the comments from the web warriors who pounce on every news item? They are silent because they are afraid.
Pakistani sunni muslims are very tolerant people.:)
Glad the matter has been resolved peacefully and by consensus.
This Sharjeel Mir should be imprisoned for life for terrorizing the minorities, who are already on the brink.
The Qadiyanis consider us non-Muslims as part of their faith!
So they should be treated as non-Muslims on an equal footing and their worship restricted to inside their homes as per the constitution.
and then we wonders why everyone hates us as a Muslim…
shame on every person involve in this….Islam gives every right to a person to perform his religion on equal basis…
" Backed by a Jihadi organization, the protestors had alleged that "unconstitutional" activities were being carried out in the worship centre. "
Why only allege? If there are 'unconstitutional' activities report it to the police and the law of the land will take care of it.
Religious doctrinal differences never lead to violence, a combination of ignorance, arrogance and sheer intolerance; leads to violent behaviour and demonstrations.
What does you mean by a Jihadi organisation? Jihad is a beautiful concept. Don't degrade it.
When will Pakistanis decide to stop hating others amongst them. Do we really have to have a state with only Muslims living in it? Even if that is somehow achieved, what about other divisions – Shia's, sunnis (barelvi, deobandi's)? Where are we going with this? All the fingers are not the same size… May Allah guide us all to live with open hearts.
Constitution of Pakistan : 20 (b) Every religious denomination and every sect thereof shall have the right to establish, maintain and manage its religious institutions.
It should not have happened.
Pakistan is destined to doom, thanks to these Jihadis.
The Police & DCO are equally responsible, but you won't see a suo moto on this violation on basic human rights. Iftikhar Chaudhry! are you listening?
So by Stopping people to worship the Police has done exactly what the lunatics wanted. Does no one think these things through ? Absolutely ridiculous.
the prayer and religion at the centre stage once again….in a country which is at the rock bottom on all human living standards……what a pity
No Suo Moto?
Islam is a religion of Peace!!!
What a joke – my father fought for this country as did my brother in law. Thank God they emigrated and I was born outside of the land of the pure – Pakistan has become a land where mob rule no matter how ridiclous dictates the law.
Also how about a suo mouto on this Mr. CJ? See if you have the courage to take on so called Jihadis of this country.
Hey Mr CJ – come out of your hole and do something
And what of the protests fueled by hate speech, trying to instigate violence that progress into destruction of property and lives? Don't pretty it up. This is just one more act of discrimination, even if it can be twisted into sounding politically correct. Name a single "accepted Muslim" place of worship fell victim to such a scenario.
I wonder if the police of Rawalpindi can stop the faithful from any other Jamia Masjid in town. this is called Opression against minorities. This is the job of the government where they are failing. I wonder if this is the place to raise my children and teach them toleration and all other good teachings of Islam. Islam never stopped anyone to practice their religion. Ahmadis are our Pakistani brothers and sisters and even more Pakistani than the ones closing the doors of their places of worship as they are still living here under threats to their lives and properties and still excell in most of the fields.
Lets remove the Objective Resolution as the 21st amendment
we are living in dark ages where Mullah rules…..and when Mullah rules humanity suffer….this is what is happening in Pakistan…. shameful and sad…..
Even after so much has happend to this nation, we are unable to understand what is right and what is wrong.
What if other nations put ban on Muslims to pray in their country?
We belong to most tolerant religion and with this behavior we claim that we are most correct muslims.
May Allah guid us to right path.
sick. completely sick. how on earth can you control someone's right to worship. i wish someone would stop the police from spending a night in their homes, and then see how it feels. sickos.
ET – please define what you mean by "LOCALS". Either you are naive or you don't know that such so called locals are brought from far away villages
"You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the State." – Jinnah**
**subject to creative interpretation by Islamic extremists who opposed the Pakistan movement, detested Jinnah, and now take the same liberty in creatively interpreting and applying the constitution.
why ET is giving this stupid thing this much coverage?
Can anyone tell me that how can we complain when Hindus, Christians and Jews stop us from practicing our religion on similar kind of 'public' demand? Can you imagine the consequences of a "religious" society where performing "religious" obligations and remembrance of Allah Subhanatalla become crime? It's simply a naked and ugly face of fascism, repression and discrimination. Let me remind the fair-minded Pakistanis, if not stopped, this dreadful practice will not stop with Ahmadis, "you" will be next target.
@Liberal Islamist:
So according to you, the Christians and the Hindus should also be barred from going to their places of worship? What are you implying here?
How one treats their minorities says a lot about the majority. Shame on you – the police are suppose to protect the rights of everyone.
We Pakistanis or shall I say MUSLIMS are such hypocrites,
Imagine if it was the UK govt stopping Pakistanis or Muslims from entering mosques, people would go crazy and would probably use violence or attacks as the last resort. irrationality prevails.
Just a question. Following the same logic on which Pakistan was created, then do these minorities have a valid point in asking for a separate homeland within Pakistan?
@Liberal Islamist:
hahaa…whaat a comment? . For your kind informtion, our constitution allows every single person who is a citizen of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to practice his/her religion openly and with the whole freedom at their allocated worship places.Recommend
It is indeed unfortunate that the local police supporting these jihadis prevented the hapless worshippers from praying inside their place of worship. Such an illegal and senseless action by the law enforcing agency would now open flood gates and encourage these elements to forcibly close all places of worship belonging to Ahmadiya community throughout the country.
@Liberal Islamist.
"The Qadiyanis consider us non-Muslims as part of their faith! So they should be treated as non-Muslims on an equal footing and their worship restricted to inside their homes as per the constitution." I do not know if Ahmadis consider us non-Muslims, but your logic is very strange. your opinion is consistent neither with Islamic laws nor with modern day human and basic rights.The Muslims ruled India for centuries. Were Hindus not allowed to practice their religion freely (for the most part)? It is probably too much to expect from some people to appreciate that in this country the Constitution guarantees equal religious rights to all religions. The demand to confine Ahmadis to worship at home is demeaning not only for them but for all of us Pakistanis, as it is naked bigotry.
@ liberal Islamist, 1st of all, Qadianies are those people who live in Qadian, a small town in India, you may call community under discussion here 'Ahmadis. Secondly, Ahmadis don't believe any other Muslims as 'NON-MUSLIMS' because they think that no one can decide others' faith.
No one will take Sue Motu Notice of this brutality in the name of Islam?
So sad. Pakistan has no hope.
@Adeel Ahmed:
ask the victims of 9/11 or 26/11 and various other such incidents, they will amply describe you the beauty of this concept.
@Mehreen: shamefullll….how can you say this…. they are prohibited by law… If any concern, have a look to your own constitution……Hindus, christian and sikh, all have given the freedom except ahmadis….reason behind… looking educated, must read it and don't aver comment so blindly…Recommend
@Gen Pasha Retd:
brother, the job of judiciary is not to poke it's nose into every matter. afterall, the army and bureaucracy are already being paid handsomely for this task, then why such indifference on their part.
or do you seriously think that a suo moto would help in this matter.
it's about ideology, and sadly enough the supreme court in itself is no different from ordinary pakistani in this regard.
very sad ! we must stand against this thinking of self righteousness. who have given the right to locals to do this? is there any law?
This is simply unacceptable! I denounce and condemn this act… I even go further to challenge constitutional amendment that declared Ahamadies as non-muslims. They are just a sect and as good (OR as bad) as any other Muslim sects in the country…
This is insane and police should be brought to justice along with the key people who moved this resolution in Rawalpindi…
Everyone who contribute in this shameful act of stopping ahmadis to enter in worship place done the same as the non belivers(mushrik) done with the muslims of the era of holy prophet (pbuh).
I as an Indian, am totally confused. Should I feel happy or should I feel utmost sadness at what the Pakistanis are doing to themselves.
@Liberal Islamist:
So they should be treated as
non-Muslims on an equal footing and
their worship restricted to inside
their homes as per the constitution.
What is liberal about your views? They are Islamists not liberal views. Why bring liberalism down like this?
May Allah guide us in becomming a tolerant society… We have simply become medieval!!!
Truly amazing (read saddened) to see how bigoted and intolerant our society has become (thanks to the Mullahs)…
I thought there was a semblence of civility and reasonableness left in this country. I am mistaken…
@ Sajjad Ashraf – Brother…You were badly mistaken…
@Khurshid who writes "The Muslims ruled India for centuries. Were Hindus not allowed to practice their religion freely (for the most part)?"
The answer is NO. Hinus were persecuted by Muslim rulers for the most part.
In fact later on, even Sikhs were persecuted along with Jains, Zorastrians, Jews (small community) and Buddhists.
In fact later in the 1800s and early 1900s, muslim rulers like Tipu Sultan even persecuted Christians.
So, to answer your question effectively – NO.
Shameful! And what is worse is people calling themselves 'Liberal Islamists' support this.
@Mr. Righty rightist:
well, there's a typo it should be from 1780 to early 1800s, if you are talking about tipu sultan.
A day of shame for Pakistan.
What really intrigues me is that some of the comments from our "Extremely TRUE MUSLIMS" seem to attack ET (as if they have a hidden agenda)… ET is just highlighting the ills of our society which other newspapers are shying away from…Hats off to ET!!!
can we ask the government on what basis it has barred ahmadies from worshipping in their own worship place?now it would be decided by extremists that he could be worship in his home and could not.is this the attitude of state to its citizens?Is this is the result of Quaid's August,11 speech?how govt will assure to international community that minorities are safe in its home land?shame on you so called state and government!would you please mention which clause of constitution did we breach?any body will take notice of it?an open question to all the citizens of Pakistan.
This is all the Zionist CIA, FBI, RAW, MI5, US, India, Israel and all enemies of Pakistan doing this to give Muslims a bad name, to give Pakistan a bad name, we are innocent people. This is a conspiracy, Taliban are good people, Jundulah is good, Al-Qaeda is good, Haifz Saeed should be given the Noble peace award. we Pakistanis don't do anything, we are being victimized. Conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy……… (typical Pakistani response to anything and I am sick of it, tells me there is nothing that is going to change in Pakistan).
this incidence is due to intolerance and illetracy. I request all Muslims to pl try to understand the teachings of Islam themselves.these are not difficult but Mullah dont want us to do so because it will stop their income which they gathered by these conflicts.Recommend
Make a country for muslims and this is what they do.
@M Anees Khan you wrote referring to the Ahmedis @Mehreen: shamefullll….how can you say this…. they are prohibited by law…
Mr. Khan, please enlighten all of us under which law of this land or edict of the Constitution are Ahmedis or any other minority not permitted to pray in their own worship places collectively? This act is the act of religious fascists and it is depressing to see that there are seemingly literate people who appear to be justifying their medieval mindsets.The modern nation state rests on the equality of all of its citizens. Deviating from this accepted normis the basic cause of our daily carnage and violence. we can choose to either survive as a normal nation state or disintegrate in religious and sectarian chaos. Give it a think. Recommend
Very sad news indeed.
Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said;
"The state can survive with kufr inside it but it cannot survive with oppression inside it"
@Liberal Islamist:
Have you ever seen any Ahmadis barring anyone else from worshiping Allah? No. Never. Why do you call yourself a Liberal Islamist when your comment is nothing but hateful? You can deceive people but not Allah.Recommend
Stopping worship of the All Mighty is highly regretful. Maybe the businessman Sharjeel Mir is of the view that Allah will accept the prayers of Ahmadies.
Imagine the hullabaloo if Non-Muslims countries barred Muslims from going to their places of worship.
If Pakistan was created for the so-called Muslims , may be the Pakistanis Muslims should make room for all the Muslims from India and swap them for the so called Minorities.
What happened to Quiad-e- Azam's Pakistan!
No wonder you are confused, even I am confused and saddened.This not the Islam our forefathers accepted.
@Adeel Ahmed: yeah. Communism is a beautiful concept too. But these "beautiful" concepts turn pretty ugly when it meets the reality of human condition.
Disgusting that the police, who are meant to protect innocents, instead participated in barring the Ahmadis from exercising their right to worship. The DCO Superintendant should be punished for aiding and abetting Sharjeel Mir and his criminal accomplices. The latter, of course, should be locked up in jail for a few years to reflect on their bigotry and hatred.
Two nation theory in action
wow.. this is the condition of the nation made for minorities.
muslims in india have more rights than muslims in pakistan. there goes the two nation theory.

@Junaid Naseer Faroqui:
bro this act is wrong but according to my knowledge and investigation they cant be a sect of Islam they are an other religion.
but i completely against the baring any minority from there place of worship
I honestly wish after reading this that all of our worship places in every single country where we are minorities be closed. All the mullahs are forces to shave their beards and their family members be stripped off their burqas and all non Muslims should boycott our businesses like restaurant, cabs, small stores etc…only that is when we will realized how these poor Ahmadis must be feeling now. Imagine the dent we are putting to their self-respect, imagine the kids when they grow up with these feelings…imagine the elders who have spend their entire life serving the country are now forces to stay home by people half their age. As per my blind faith in all mighty…the tables will turn..one day these people will be in power and they will level the score..history is a witness to this..happend in Europe against mighty royals, happened in India again mighty mugals..
What if this had happen with Muslims in USA or in india. This is discusting and shameful act. We need to learn islam and stop following these Mullahs mis leading nation. I feel soory for ahmediya community.
I wish ,i pray and i hope we can take off our sect glasses of our eyes and think like Muslim. And being regular non denomination muslim i would praise Ahmediyaa community for their patience over this issue and patience showed by them after brutal killings in July 2010

@Lateralview: What happened to Quiad-e- Azam's Pakistan
It died with him! Even the Quiads Christian or Zoroastrian daughter (not sure whats her faith but pretty sure she doesnt believe in Islam) would be persecuted in this Sunni Republic! Given the problems Shia's are facing in Pakistan I think there should be another partition so there is one nation for Sunnis and one for Shia's! You Ahmadis are lucky just flee to any Western country they treat you like VIP's anyways.
CJ is busy protecting us from 'secularism'. Chances are he couldn't care less about non-Sunni Pakistanis due to inherent prejudice, let alone non-Muslim minorities. He probably thinks Jihadi organizations are patriots.
"You are free" no you are not; "you are free to go to your temples," no you are not, "you are free to go to your mosques" no you are not, "or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan" no you are not free to go to your places of worship in this state of Pakistan.

where is good governance? where is qaid-e-Azam's 11 august speech? Where is OUR CJ? Where is rule of law? Does Ahmadies have any right in this country?
If the Government can not protect their rights than the Legislature should pass a law for expelling Ahmadies from the Country.
What if this happens with Muslims in America or any non-Muslim country?
@Liberal Islamist
their worship restricted to inside their homes as per the constitution.
And this is what the Constitution of Pakistan says,
20 (b) Every religious denomination and every sect thereof shall have the right to establish, maintain and manage its religious institutions.

@Vishnu D Dutta:
Kashmir, Gujarat and Mumbai are very good examples of how india treats its muslims.
@Liberal Islamist:
From your statement, I see you dont understand both the meanings of liberal and Islam.
Dont make judgements on the basis of what the Mulllas have told you. They lie and spread hatred as you can see in this example. In order to see whether the Massiah of Ahmadis is true or not. pray sincerely Surah Fatihah for 40 days and God will show you a sign.
caste system is pathetic and despicable. there can't be any defence to it.
but what about your muslim society, don't you yourself treat your minorities just like lower castes not worthy of interaction.
and perhaps you live outside the subcontinent, because here muslims(yes in pakistan too) are as proud of being a sheikh or sayyid as brahmins were of their caste.
Kashmir, Gujarat and Mumbai are very good examples of how india treats its muslims.
from kashmir some 200,000 hindus were kicked out. so the backlash was expected, and was the first time that muslims were answered in the language they best understand: violence.
in gujarat they burned down 58 innocent hindus, so the backlash.
in mumbai coordinated attacks killed more than 200 people, again the backlash.
and mind it the backlash of a disproportionate majority will always be disproportionate
if u live like a model minority, we are ready to emulate you and will be proud in doing so. infact my ideal is no other than DR APJ ABDUL KALAM, and contemporary india has hardly anyone of his calibre and appeal.
but if you try to sell the country to dogs i'm sorry you are better off not to live in our country.
let me tell u that hindus are not going to start anything like this but if u expect that muslims be given the right to kill with impunity, while hindus just wait for their turn to be slaughtered, then you are born late by about 300-400 years
Take up arms against us, kill us and our children, expel us from schools, universities, jobs, descreate our graves, Label us as Jewish Lobby, Lynch us, stone us, boycott our goods and businesses
You'll see up growing and blooming day by day in this country despite of the fact that hundred of thousands of our fellow brothers and sisters have emigrated fearing for their lives..

A. Kashmir has had Muslim Chief Ministers all the time. And now the valley has been cleaned of the Kashmiri Pandits.
B. Gujarat boasts of Irfan and Yusuf Pathan and Munaf Patel of Indian Cricket and Ahmad Patel to Indian National Congress.
C. Mumbai has the Khans ruling Bollywood and had Abdul Rehman Antulay as a Chief Minister.
Yes, Muslims are doing rather well in all the three places, thank you.
And what is more, no one has decided that Muslims will not be allowed to enter their 'places of worship' like the Ahmadis, if that is what you have been looking for.
You know I was in Bangkok, Thailand where the local papers were full of stories of Pakistani Ahmadis entering the country as refugees. What a shame for us losers of a country that is so intolerant. I'm so ashamed.
This is our ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN which was meant for a free country for every religion.
This is against the fundamental human rights granted to each person by the International laws. What a shame!

Well, the Indian army is headed by Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain. So,If Kashmir is full of 'so called Muslims' then what exactly is the brouhaha all about?
That's all you got? Two cricket players?while completely neglecting the massacre and now continuous division of society.
Actually I had quoted 3 cricketers and a powerful politician too, but then perhaps Mathematics is not your favourite subject. And come to think of it I completely neglected to mention the 59 burnt Hindus too.
Mumbai where the right wingers dont allow muslims to own villas, homes and doesn't allow mixing of muslims with hindus
Find out who owns 'Mannat', a prime Bungalow in Mumbai. And if Hindus and Muslims do not mix, who puts up the money. who directs and who buys tickets to the Khan starrers. And who works and creates wealth for Ajim Premji the wealthiest Muslim in India.
And as I said earlier, How many 'places of worship' have been closed to Muslims and how many are made to sign statements declaring their religion to be false? Think it over.
I have been reading up to now that Qadianis using a house as worship place in Rawalpindi. The above picture shows that it is mosque style worship place not a residential home. Why is so much fuss. I am not Qadiani at all, but I am in favour of freedom of religious freedom. If Qadianis are praying in this house, they are not harming anyone. When we Muslims (non qadianis) moved to Britain, our early Mosques were established in houses and no Christians objected our worship places. We also bought churches and converted into Mosques. No protest were heard.
Not that I'm justifying this (or arguing against it – I just don't know enough of the facts) – but let us be fair here and not obfuscate the reality; there seems to be a lack of acknowledgement of the fact that there is a very clear, marked difference between discriminating against a group based on their religious beliefs and discriminating against a group based on the belief that they may be conspiring against you, and it is the latter that is most likely the case here.
It is naturally wrong to assume that this accusation against Ahmedis is true in all degrees simply because some may be vehemently asserting it. But to dismiss it and all those who believe it as, for some reason, completely wrong, if not mad, without even an elementary investigation into the facts and into their accusations (or even character), is naturally of equally faulty logic.
In my opinion, if you really want to try to solve this problem – perhaps it would good to start with see what those with greivances against the Ahmedis are saying, and see what the Ahmedis have to say in return, and try to continue from there in trying to address this problem? Or is such a path of reason and mild-manner too much to handle for our minds today – stunted by our mindless obsequiousness to the taboos laid down by any and all forms of mass media?
Reminds me of the days of early Islam when meccans use to stop Muslims from prayer or calling Azan.
May Allah miraculously save this country from the ignorants (Ameen) who are making every efforts to bring His wrath on a nation established under the name of Islam and yet showing no signs of is practical implementation.
these mullahs are the real extremists!
Kashmir has had puppet so called muslim chief minister installed by occupying indian state
Well the Indian Army in Kashmir is headed by Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain. And it seems anyone who does not conform to your world view is a 'so called Muslim', including the victims of Kohistan.
That's all you got? Two cricket players? while completely neglecting the massacre and now continuous division of society.
Actually there were 3 cricketers and 1 powerful politician, which makes it 4, which is exactly 2 times 2. And yes I did ignore 59 dead Hindus too as it happened 10 years back.
Mumbai again something which doesn't belong to average person on street. Mumbai where the right wingers dont allow muslims to own villas, homes and doesn't allow mixing of muslims with hindus.
You mean Shahrukh Khan was never an 'average person on the street'? He descended from Heaven a fully formed superstar with a bungalow in tow? And if Muslims and Hindus do not mix, who works for Mr Ajim Premji of WIPRO?
You (rightwing indians) are most blinded creature i've ever encountered more than the white nationalists
My.my, we are rather quick on labels, aren't we? I find this, coming on the heels of Kurram and Kohistan and now Islamabad, rich indeed.

SWF Seeking Attractive Male With Small Carbon Footprint for Valentine's Day
Tweet Share on Facebook February 13, 2009 Comment (7)If only you had a Valentine to share scintillating conversation about altetnative energy policy over an organic, local meal with tomorrow night. Just as there are niche dating sites for singles who love indie rock, Sean Hannity, horseback riding or Star Trek ("Love Long and Prosper"), there are options for those who would like to weed out anyone with a large carbon footprint from his or her dating pool. They're a little on the granola Birkenstock side of the spectrum, though, so make sure you check out some profiles and see if you're a good fit for the site before joining. Here are a few:
Green Singles is the most established of the sites, and actually began as a newsletter for eco-friendly singles in 1985. You can place a free listing, but have to pay $24 for three months to be able to contact any members (many of the sites work this way). The site shares five percent of its profits with environmental organizations like Greenpeace and Oxfam America. It also congratulates prospective members on being a "kindred spirit." In the success stories section of the site, one woman gushes, "he proposed in our bean patch."
Zumbox Presents a New Alternative to Postal Mail
Tweet Share on Facebook February 12, 2009 Comment (15)When I received a press release touting "the first all-digital Web-based alternative to the U.S. Postal Service," my first thought was, "Like... e-mail?" E-mail has not, of course, replaced our postal mail, but it sure would be nice if it could - paper mail is wasteful when you consider the tons of resources used, and the carbon emitted in its delivery. The USPS has always been threatened by electronic mail ever since it was created, especially as more people who care about saving time, money and the environment go online to pay their bills and correspond each day.
E-mail addresses lack geographic grounding, though, so your congressman or neighborhood association wouldn't be able to send you an online notice unless they already knew your e-mail address. E-mail addresses can come from any number of providers, and local businesses who want to advertise to a small audience would have no way of directly reaching potential customers online.
Zumbox wants to change that. The start-up, which launched this week, has created an electronic mailbox for every address in the country, and it's free for all users. Companies can sign up to send mail via Zumbox so you can check your mail from anywhere. Companies can send catalogues, bills and notifications, all paperless, and customers can decide whether or not they want to opt-out of the paper versions of the same documents. It's free for businesses, nonprofits, government entities and individuals to send mail, while marketers are charged five cents per message. Video can be embedded, and catalogues are PDFed.
Will Carbon Offsets Survive the Downturn?
Tweet Share on Facebook February 11, 2009 Comment (1)To get through the recession, consumers are scrimping and saving, which posits an environmental catch-22. Since we're spending less, we're consuming less, but since we have less to spend, we may not be as likely to put money towards extras like carbon offsets. Recently, I caught up with Patti Prairie, the CEO of offset provider Brighter Planet, to talk about how consumers will be green in tough times. Brighter Planet partners with credit card companies to provide offsets that are accrued like rewards points for purchases. One memorable quote from Prairie: "We think this will be the year when knowing your footprint will become a classy thing."
How do you think the practice of carbon offsets will fare in this year's economy?
I think that a time like this when people are focused on doing less is a good time from an environmental point of view. If people understand where it is that they are spending and using energy, they could be more inclined to buy offsets, because there will be a heightened awareness of everyday actions. We consider conservation to be just as much of a win for us as offsetting. It's not selling something, but raising awareness of the environment - raising the sense that every person can do something about it.
Sorry, UFO Watchers - Aliens Didn't Take Down the Wind Turbine
Tweet Share on Facebook February 11, 2009 Comment (8)A few weeks ago, a wind turbine in Lincolnshire, U.K. was mysteriously destroyed, with one blade lopped off and another twisted around. Some eyewitnesses attributed the damage to an "Octopus-shaped U.F.O." that passed through the wind farm, while others blamed ice buildup on the blades, an out-of-control fireworks display, or simply fatigue. I wrote a tongue-in-cheek post about the incident, which garnered a lot of comments from three types: First, the UFO believers, who were offended by my sarcasm (thanks for the crop circle links, guys); second, British citizens who were offended by my sarcasm (wasn't making fun of you personally, guys), and third, Simpsons fans who appreciate a good internet meme (as do I).
Proving once again the principle of Occam's razor - that the simplest explanation is also the likeliest, as Dan from California pointed out - the results of the investigation of that incident were recently revealed and it was indeed material fatigue that brought the turbine down. Aging bolts that attached the blade to the turbine were to blame. "To be honest I'm not surprised. But there was part of me that did hope it was a U.F.O. as it was a lovely story," said Dale Vince, the founder of Ecotricity, the wind project operator. Case closed.
Google Brings the Smart Grid to You
Tweet Share on Facebook February 10, 2009 Comment (2)Forgetting to turn off a TV or the lights is a waste of energy, we know - but without knowing how much, it's an amorphous eco-sin with no real consequences. Google.org, the philanthropic branch of the search engine, aims to change that with Google PowerMeter, a tracking device that will help consumers see how much power they're using, and where it's coming from, in real time.
PowerMeter would sync up with the smart meters that many utility customers already have. Companies that partner with Google will take data from the smart meters and make it available for real time graphing via a Google widget. Consumers would be able to see when they are consuming the most, and what devices are sucking the most energy. You can also opt to share your energy data to see how you stack up to other Americans, and encourage friendly competition.
The Stimulus: What Everyone Green is Saying About It
Tweet Share on Facebook February 10, 2009 Comment (11)After the Senate passed the stimulus bill, environmental and green energy groups came forward with praise for the House's version of the bill, and hope for moving forward. "Shovel-ready" is the buzzword of the day. Here's what they had to say:
Greenpeace: A new ICF analysis commissioned by Greenpeace shows that the House version of the stimulus package would be more effective in fighting global warming, cutting approximately 12 million metric tons more greenhouse gas emissions than the Senate version. Furthermore, the House version's energy package would save government and consumers approximately $3 billion more in utility bills annually ... "The fact that the federal government could spend so much money and actually help slow global warming means we've really turned the page as a country," said Kert Davies, Greenpeace's Research Director. "This is a real sign that we're starting to move beyond the era of fossil fuels."
Rep. Blumenauer on Bikes: "Republicans Don't Get It."
Tweet Share on Facebook February 9, 2009 Comment (5)After Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) proposed an amendment to the stimulus that would prohibit funding of bicycle paths, outspoken bicycle supporter and Oregon Representative Earl Blumenauer went on the warpath. In a blog post he wrote for the Huffington Post, Blumenauer described Republicans as "out of touch."
Said Blumenauer:
To their detriment, they are continuing their trend from last Congress of using the most economical, energy-efficient, and healthy forms of transportation as their whipping post. Investment in bike paths will not only improve our economy, and take our country in the right direction for the future; it is exactly the kind of investment the American people want.
Moreover, bicycle and pedestrian paths are precisely the kind of infrastructure projects our country needs. These projects tend to the most "shovel-ready" and are more labor-intensive than other projects-- therefore putting more people to work per dollar spent.
3 Gross Green Fuels That are Powering Vehicles Now
Tweet Share on Facebook February 5, 2009 Comment (5)Corn, soybeans and cooking oil are ingredients that can go between our kitchens and our cars, since they can be used for fuel. They're not the only sources, though, as recent headlines have been made by far more unusual - and sometimes icky - substances powering our vehicles. Here are a few:
The least disagreeable ingredient on this list is beer waste, which the Sierra Nevada Brewing will use to power the company's trucks. The waste, which is made of yeast, will be put through an on-site ethanol machine for fermentation, and then added to gasoline to be used in the brewer's fleet of biodiesel trucks. Any surplus fuel may even be given to the company's employees. Sierra Nevada generates 1.6 million gallons of beer dregs each year.
Not Just HFCS and Peanut Butter: Here are 10 Other Risky Foods
Tweet Share on Facebook February 4, 2009 Comment (21)As if we don't have enough to be worried about already. In the midst of food safety scares from salmonella in peanut butter and mercury in high fructose corn syrup, Sprig has produced a list of 10 other foods that can be dangerous. Their risks range from hormones to pesticides to carcinogenic substances. How to avoid many of these risks? Buy organic.
- Farmed Salmon. It's high in Polychlorinated Biphenyls, with 11 times more dioxins than wild salmon.
- Conventionally Grown Bell Peppers. They require more pesticides than any other vegetable - with as many as 64 being found on a single sample of pepper in one study.
- Non-Organic Strawberries. Some growers of strawberries irrigate their plants with Nutri-Sweet-laced water. The sugar substitute is a probable carcinogen.
- Chilean Sea Bass. The fish is high in mercury, and if eaten consistently over time, can elevate the body's mercury levels to dangerous amounts.
- Non-Organic Peaches. Pesticides easily penetrate their soft skins and permeate the fruit.
- Genetically Modified Corn. We still don't know the long-term effects of genetically modified corn, but it's been tied to an increase in allergies for humans.
- Bluefin Tuna. Not only is it high in mercury, but overfishing may drive the species to extinction.
- Industrially Farmed Chicken. Arsenic has been found in conventional chickens, as well as antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
- Non-Organic Apples. When grown in humid Mid-Atlantic states, the crop uses more pesticides than California, Oregon and Washington states.
- Cattle Treated with rBGH. Recombinant bovine growth hormone has been traced to breast cancer and hormonal disorders.
'Inconvenient Truth' Opera Inconveniently Loses Director
Tweet Share on Facebook February 3, 2009 Comment (1)A operatic adaptation of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth has hit some snags, reports the New York Times. Academy Award-winning director William Friedkin, of films such as The French Connection and The Exorcist, has quit the production. He cited artistic differences with the poet J.D. McClatchy, who is writing the libretto, but that may not be the case: Giorgio Battistelli, the composer of the opera, told a paper that Friedkin's reasons were personal, not artistic. Battistelli was also critical of Friedkin's qualifications and background, saying "Opera isn't Hollywood."
Either way, questions remain about how well the film will translate to opera - and if it will draw a crowd. Will a Power Point presentation look out of place on the grand stage of Milan's La Scala, where the work is set to debut in 2011?

Hunchback of Notre Dame II [2002]
The misconception about this animated film from Disney was that it was a movie for kids--something Victor Hugo never had in mind. In fact, despite a cute brace of singing gargoyles who are Quasimodo's (Tom Hulce) best friends, this version of Hugo's classic tale is really adult entertainment, with a strong set of songs by Alan Menken. The story remains mostly the same (though tricked out with a happier ending than Hugo's): Quasimodo, the ward of repressive monk Frollo, falls for a gypsy girl named Esmerelda (Demi Moore)--though she loves one of the king's guards (Kevin Kline). But they are all put in jeopardy by the wicked Frollo, whose secret passion for Esmerelda leads him to seek her death. At times too dark and even a shade kinky, something that may scare younger viewers. --Marshall Fine

By Chick Jacobs Staff writer
PINEHURST - For Robert Romine, music is life.
Romine, a professor emeritus of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, was recently named to the North Carolina Bandmasters Association Hall of Fame. While he's been retired as a college director for more than a decade, the 81-year-old trumpet player says his music career is "incredibly busy."
Which is exactly how he likes it.
"Honestly, I believe music and staying active in music has helped me get this far," Romine said. "I've had some health issues, and if all I had to do was sit around and think about them ... well, that wouldn't be very good.
"Instead, I'm rehearsing for several hours a week, performing with other musicians and conducting. If I didn't have all this going on, I just don't know what I'd do."
Romine's induction into the hall of fame is a recognition of "excellence in teaching as a band director in music education," according to the announcement.
It was an unusual accolade for someone who never taught high school band in the state. Romine, a native of Iowa, taught at Pembroke State University (now UNC-Pembroke) from 1974 through 1996 but reached out to high school bands throughout the region as well.
"I've probably conducted at just about every school band in the region," Dr. Romine said. "It's a real honor for me to be on such a distinguished list. I am one of only two university faculty from any university in the hall of fame."
Former student Mike Williams, now the band director at Cape Fear High School, nominated Romine and made the presentation last month.
In retirement, Romine continues his musical career in Pinehurst. He co-conducts Moore County's New Horizons Band and conducts the Moore County Concert Band.
"When my wife and I first came, we had never even been to North Carolina before," he said. "We thought we'd stick around for a couple of years and move on.
"It's amazing how time can fly. I'm still going strong. I'm so unbelievably busy."

Wentworth Miller, the handsome 41-year-old star of Fox's "Prison Break", came out Wednesday as a gay man when he stood up against Russia's anti-gay propaganda laws. Wentworth had been invited to appear at the St. Petersburg International Film Festival, but declined due to Russia's recent enactment of anti-LGBT legislation. Miller wrote in a letter that as a gay man, he had to turn down the invitation, according to the Daily News on Aug. 21.
Miller said that as someone who enjoyed touring Russia in the past and who also claims "a degree" of Russian ancestry, it would have made him happy to accept their invitation. "However, as a gay man, I must decline", he wrote.
E! News reports the controversial law bans, "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations around minors". In effect it prohibits the public discussion of gay rights.
Miller said that he's, "deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government". He called the current situation in no way acceptable.
Wentworth was born in England, then raised in Brooklyn, New York, and is a graduate of Princeton University, according to IMDB.
In declining the film festival invite, he cited his conscience, explaining that he just could not participate in an event hosted by a country where people like himself, "are being systemically denied their basic right to live and love openly".
Russia's new laws intended to suppress homosexuality just may end up galvanizing a movement in the other direction. Miller obviously hopes his bold decision to come out publicly will help towards that end.
Oscar winning actress Tilda Swinton, Bravo's Andy Cohen, 'Star Trek' actor George Takei and even Lady Gaga and just some of the more stars who are speaking out against Russia's new laws.
Miller did leave one caveat, saying if the situation were ever to improve he might change his mind.
Don't count on that anytime soon.

The new Port Mann Bridge has more than a few motorists riled up, following its latest contribution to traffic chaos Thursday morning. But from as far out as Chicago?
Delta North NDP MLA Guy Gentner contacted the Now from the Windy City to complain, because he "can't leave the Port Mann fiasco alone."
As many as 40 vehicles were involved in fender-benders on the icy toll bridge, with at least one motorist being taken to hospital.
It's been subsequently revealed that the bridge hadn't been properly de-iced.
Last month, the Port Mann rained ice bombs, smashing many a windshield.
"Only after a few months of its opening, the multi-billion dollar Port Mann bridge's design flaws continue to roll out, including a deck that can be nothing short of an ice rink," Gentner said.
The MLA noted that "cost-efficient" bridge deck heating systems are working elsewhere in Canada and the U.S.
He noted that when the bridge's deck freezes "good traction and all directional and braking control are lost," and fears "serious accidents and fatalities will be all-too-frequent consequences."
Gentner said it's been well-documented that in order to avoid such traffic "mayhem" the installation of internal or external heating sources during construction costs little to maintain and operate compared to "ICBC costs, potential loss of life, congestion and traffic delays, clearing and cleanup costs, de-icing salts that prematurely deteriorate the bridge.
"Surely the designers and the bean counters had all this in mind when the planning process began?" Gentner demanded. "If not, those responsible in the Ministry of Highway and Infrastructure should be tendering their resignations."

this is so intense
so inspired today watching rihanna and dolly parton live videos i wish they would collaborate
Anonymous asked: how do you feel about rob delaney becoming that guy selling his new book on here?
Imagine being so beholden to alcoholism that you can work a marketing job without acing yourself. Imagine getting so drunk that you drive your car into a wall. This wreck smashes one of the bones in your arm so badly that, to this day, you have a metal plate screwing its pieces together. The wrist on your other arm is also broken.
After coming out of the anesthesia from your surgeries you're allowed the marginal pleasure of learning you didn't kill anyone. But immediately after this you're swept off the table where normal people live, down onto the floor of the world. In rehab, the stigma of having failed at life pushes the baited hook of your addiction all the way into your mouth, all day, every day. For months, you learn to live with that hook in your mouth, slowly—slowly—coming to realize that the slightest swerve from a tightly defined vector of recovery will sink that hook, make its line snap taut and haul your body into a darkened corner that no one ever leaves.
Imagine putting one foot in front of the other for months on end. Imagine forcing yourself not to hope for anything except one more day without drinking alcohol. Imagine the fear of having to go back into a world where advertising sells beer by envisioning it as an unstoppable silver freight train, barreling past the crystal clear streams of the Rocky Mountains, down Fifth avenue and straight into your mouth.
Imagine strapping those spurs onto your calves that linemen use to climb power poles. Imagine driving in piton after piton and ascending a leg of the table whose edge you drove off. Imagine getting to the top by a superhuman feat of endurance. Now imagine that that's just the start of the struggle. That baited hook is always right there, swinging back and forth at the edge of your vision. Imagine that the best you can hope for, for the rest of your time on Earth, is to have this thing making its lazy arcs on the horizon of your life. Imagine that every time you get angry, every time you feel stupid, every time you want a reward for doing something unpleasant—it's right there next to you, bobbing at head-height.
Imagine starting to live again. Imagine getting really good at making jokes. Imagine taking that talent you always had for being the center of attention, for being quick on the draw, and taking it apart. Learning the limits of talent and the usefulness of craft. Imagine making a joke no one thought was funny and the pleasure of knowing how to fix it.
Imagine getting married.
Now imagine that you get your old job back. You work it like a farmer before steampower. You do a pointless and trivial job as well as you can, not because you love it or because you believe in it, but because it is an anchor of your sobriety. All day, every day you work on the problem of selling different teenagers the same old acne cream. Imagine coming home to your family. When you sit down to dinner, you see your wife and kids lined up around the table like little Norman Rockwells and—in that moment where all your anchors are right there in front of you and are pulling in unison—the baited hook is as far away as it is possible for it to be.
But now imagine you're Rob.
You don't get your old job back. Instead, you force yourself into a occupation where every time you do your job, there is a bar in your line of sight. A job where, if you fail and are publically humiliated for being boring, you are in the same room as shelf upon shelf of alcohol. A job where, even when you succeed, there's an endless line of half-drunk gladhanders who would love nothing more than to buy you a drink.
Imagine threading that needle, night after night.
Now imagine that someone gives you the chance to tell your story. Imagine that someone wants to pay you actual money you can spend on your kids in exchange for a book that says: "Crippling alcoholism isn't a terminal disease!". Imagine that they want to buy advertisements on busses to promote that message. Imagine that your big, grateful face is beamed into millions of houses as you say this to talk-show hosts. Imagine that you've been given the chance to make the tenacious fight for an ordinary life seem like just enough.
What would you do?
I would hire skywriters out of my own pocket to sell this book.
Thank you, George Lazenby.

Atopic dermatitis (sometimes called eczema or atopic eczema) is a skin condition that causes intense itching and a red, raised rash. In severe cases, the rash develops bumps that look like little blisters.
The condition occurs mainly in babies and children but can also affect teenagers and adults. Most people who have atopic dermatitis have a personal or family history of allergic conditions, such as allergic rhinitis.
The cause of atopic dermatitis is poorly understood. People with atopic dermatitis have skin that is sensitive to numerous irritants and reacts to allergens.
Although there is no cure, atopic dermatitis can be treated with preventive measures, such as moisturizing the skin and avoiding irritants, and with medicines such as creams or pills.
