Sihanoukville still a great place to visit and enjoy by sure. But as it attracts national and international tourism, it attracts also unwanted people (including certain foreigners with unfortunate behavior.) For this reason the better is prevention… Warning!!! Continue reading

Deaf Internet
This month I got one of the most beautiful evidences of the importance of the internet in our time and how it is about inclusion. New technologies are changing the human history and it is not created for the power and enjoyment of minoritarian groups, but information and communication technologies are a human patrimony we must promote to reduce the global digital gap.

The huge NR3 hole at Prektong village was repaired
Kampot. The huge 'canyon' at the NR3, in Prektong Village, Tick Ta Commune, Prey Nub District (ភូមិព្រែកទង សង្កាតើទឺកថា) has been repaired, according to our observation at 5PM of today 3 August, less than 18 hours after we did this post. I wonder if it would be repaired at the same speed if it were in the Kampot territory.
Spectacular canyon at the middle of National Headway 3

Lonely… 'Khmer'
Hua Hin. Visiting 'Amazing Thailand' from the 'Kingdom of Wonders.' I got the 2010′s edition of Lonely Planet about Thailand (13th edition, January 2010) to read in my 12 hours bus travel from Sihanoukville to Bangkok. I have to recognize that I admire the work of Lonely Planet. It is real original and well documented. Then it is made upon the research of writers living or working in the country. The history of Thailand, according with this 2010 edition (p. 29-40), is a complete resume. I noticed only a great absent: Cambodia. Actually, it is a pity that the use of references is poor in the article. It is said, for example, that a 'modern linguistic theory and archaeological evidence' - which ones? – 'suggest that the first true agriculturists in the world, perhaps also the first metal workers, spoke an early form of Thai and lived in what we know today as Thailand (p. 29).' How can Lonely Planet say it? From where this conclusion came? Continue reading
Learning the culture of discussion
Kep City. Creating a school of communication does not mean only to get rooms, cameras, computers and microphones. Tools are evidently important, but great reporters and communicators can manage even without a laptop. Schools need especially masters of the skill. Some weeks ago – February 15 – the students of social communication of the Don Bosco Vocational Center got a real special visit: Photojournalist Arjay R.J. Stevens, a German national based in Cambodia since 1996. Continue reading
Soccer at the sea side
Kep City. A soccer game between the teams of Sihanoukville and Kep was one f the ways to celebrate Christmas at the Don Bosco Vocational Center on December 25 afternoon. The game ended in a draw and went to penalties that gave the victory to Kep. The technical school invites groups of Kep and Kompot to challenge its soccer and volleyball teams, trained currently by Italian-Belgian coach Cassale. Contact the administration for any possible schedule. In January there is a program of rhythmic gymnastics for the afternoon.
Cambodian Christmas boom
One of my friends wrote to me an email from Phnom Penh:
'This is great stuff BUT it's strange to me why so much emphasis is placed on a Christian holiday in a supposedly Buddhist country. When did this surge of celebrating Christmas (the birth of Christ) become popular in Sihanoukville? Was there an effort from the tourism ministry to promote the westerners holiday in Sihanoukville and Siem Reap? In the past there was no interest.'
It is true that this year the preparations for Christmas has been especially published in Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. Christmas concerts and festivals, Christmas gatherings in hotels and Christmas neon lights everywhere as it were the most Western country. The reply to this question is: all those stuff are not Christmas as the birth of Christ of course. All those stuff are far from the real Christmas Spirit. The goal is, evidently, to attract Western tourism and it means dollars and euros… It is therefore a business. By sure, most of those Cambodians preparing Christmas parties, do not have the most single idea of what they are celebrating or saying when they say 'Merry Christmas' or, as some students of mine write 'Happy Merry Christmas.'
Sihanoukville 2-1 Kep: Don Bosco soccer friendly match
Sihanoukville. Kep City as a visitor was convincing in the first time with a goal of Ty Tho, 22, a leading from Kompong Thom in the Don Bosco Oupram playground this evening. But the victory was for Sihanoukville with two goals connected by Huo, 19, a Takeo man, who is already a figure in the Sihanoukville local team. Kep did keep the pressure on Sihanoukville the first 45 minutes, starting the game brightly and was a goal only for 10 minutes by Ty Tho. Sihanoukville became disparate running to protect their camp from the Kep insistingly attacks. To the second time Huo was invited by the coach and the game changed with a more confident Sihanoukville that controlled the ball to put in twice to the bottom of the net by this local soccer figure.

Japanese Aikido's master Kaneko Shinichi, a volunteer based in Cambodia, will give a demonstration of this Japanese martial art at the Khmer University of Technology and Management, KUTM, of the city port.

So last night,around 4:30 am,ISS had a really amazing flyover.It was flying directly above at -2.3 mag.So i took my camera,and I've taken a few photos of the event.Please forgive me for,rather bad quality,i didnt have a tripod and im fairly new to all this stuff Note:The time on the pictures isnt correct,the clock is rushing ahead about 20 mins or so.
So first i took a pic of Jupiter i believe.It was rising just before the Sun.
Then the ISS came
Over here we can see both Jupiter and ISS
And then,a really amazing thing to watch,it passed right next to it!
And then it went into shadow shortly after that.But still it was really amazing.Clear skies everyone.
Ok so tonight we had another wonderful flyover of the ISS,over here in central Serbia.It was around 3:25 GMT +1.
So first i started of with some simple sky shots
Another one
And now the ISS.But since i got no tripod(fail :|),yes i know but ill say it,i took the photos from my hands,using 5.7 seconds exposure.
Well as you can see...its somewhat not straight and curvy,but i like it! xD

Windows 98 has no way to isolate administrative functions. Everyone has full access to all aspects of the operating system. I should know, I still use it for certain functions. Windows 98 may benefit from security by obscurity, but I would still hesitate to take it out onto the big, bad Internet. The Mac OS is far better designed, but the option automatically to execute trusted file formats on download should never have been put there. Other things I wish Apple would do better: Have their security updates approach the speed achieved in many Linux distributions.

A friend suggested tonight, in light of the story published anonymously (and in exceedingly poor taste) about a bawdy night with Christine O'Donnell (allegedly), that Democrats just can't help themselves. I agree.
I'll not offer the link here, in the name of good taste, but Google is your friend and it won't be very difficult to find these allegations. More importantly, spend a little time reading beyond the original trainwreck itself; many many people are not impressed, and a dramatically large number of them are women.
To name a few:
Via The Daily Caller:
NOW defends Christine O'Donnell against Gawker's "slut-shamingâ€Via Michelle Malkin:
The Gawker smear machine: A refresher courseVia The Huffington Post:
O'Donnell's "Hook-Up:" Gawker's in the WrongVia POWIP:
Gawker's Christine O'Donnell Hit PieceVia JoshuaPundit:
The Democrats Create A New Low; 'I Had a One-Night Stand With Christine O'Donnell'
There are more, but you get the idea. There's something not being said though, that I can't help but noticing and passing along here…this childishness (and blatant disregard for the very privacy they rail from the rooftops every day to defend) is going to have the reverse effect of that which was intended…and it is going to help guarantee the very thing they are high five-ing themselves right now thinking they have prevented; Christine O'Donnell is sure to win this election now, after today's events.
Having been down by as many as 20 points or better, Rasmussen recently had O'Donnell somewhere within 11 points of Coons. More recently, an internal poll, published by the HillBuzz, suggests she might be as close as 5. Whatever the MoE is for the poll almost doesn't even matter; Democrats are losing women in droves this cycle. Obama has even had to send the Missus out there to beg women not to leave him. Even worse for the Democrats…especially after today's disaster…many of the women were planning to stay home out of anger, frustration, and an overall lack of enthusiasm…now, they're going to come back to the polls with a vengeance-and it's Liberal heads they'll be coming after.
As the O'Donnell camp's official response points out:
"From Secretary Clinton, to Governor Palin, to soon-to-be Governor Haley, Christine's political opponents have been willing to engage in appalling and baseless attacks — all with the aim of distracting the press from covering the real issues in this race,†said O'Donnell spokesman Doug Sachletben.
In its statement released Thursday night, her campaign also pointed out that the National Organization for Women condemned the piece. "NOW repudiates Gawker's decision to run this piece. It operates as public sexual harassment,†said NOW president Terry O'Neill. "And like all sexual harassment, it targets not only O'Donnell, but all women contemplating stepping into the public sphere.â€
While exactly right, this statement is missing the follow-on sentence: "Democrats have pretended to champion women's issues for generations, and never have they shown more contempt for Women than they do here, tonight, with this offense against the whole of the gender and everything we've been fighting for our entire lives."
O'Donnell has been bloodied and cleaved in this campaign over everything BUT what she stands for and what she means to do when she gets to Washington. This foolishness tonight only solidifies what some of us already knew; she's a threat to them, and now that they realize they're about to lose to her all the same, they're getting desperate like the Frat freshmen a lot of us have always known them to be.
Trouble is, they've pee-ohed the wrong demographic.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a top ranking in Google. I cannot seem to get indexed in the top of google despite the site being optimized for the Keywords Le Marche.
I have noticed other sites with far less related content for Le Marche get in the top for the same category.
The Keywords and Key phrase I am looking to get a top ranking for is "Le Marche" and "accommodation in le Marche, Italy"
I would appreciate any help or advice on this
Thanks in advance

Other than the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (PDF, 298 kb) and Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers (PDF, 38 kb), COPE has written guidelines on the following:
COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers
Peer review in all its forms plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record. The process depends to a large extent on trust, and requires that everyone involved behaves responsibly and ethically. Peer reviewers play a central and critical part in the peer-review process, but too often come to the role without any guidance and unaware of their ethical obligations. COPE has produced some guidelines which set out the basic principles and standards to which all peer reviewers should adhere during the peer-review process in research publication. The aim has been to make them generic so that they can be applied across disciplines. Download PDF (445 kb) © 2013 COPE.

Cooperation between research institutions and journals on research integrity cases: guidance from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)
Recognizing the important role that institutions have in investigating cases of suspected misconduct, but also the difficulties that sometimes arise when journals and institutions try to work together and share information on such cases, COPE has developed guidelines for cooperation between research institutions and journals on research integrity cases.

A Short Guide to Ethical Editing for New Editors
By Margaret Rees
Becoming an editor of a journal is an exciting but daunting task especially if you are working alone without day to day contact with editorial colleagues. This short guide aims to summarize key issues and to provide links to relevant pages of the COPE website as well as those of other organisations.
Guidelines for the Board of Directors of Learned Society Journals
Guidance for Editors: Research, Audit and Service Evaluations
Regulations regarding what type of study requires ethical approval vary worldwide. This may lead to editors receiving submissions that do not meet the journal's normal requirement for ethical approval. This guidance has therefore been produced by COPE as an aid to journal editorial teams who are required to review such manuscripts. Download PDF ( 59 kb)

This doesn't work, just tried it on 5.0.1 with iFile. Did it exactly in the same format as the rest of the file, when I make a facetime call it says I need to connect to WiFi still.
The reason this doesn't work is because all the people who copy stories from each other for sites like these copied someones tutorial initially that wasn't correct, there is a spelling error. It should be:
But someone put a 'e' before the 'v'. If you do this "hack" with 3Gvenice, it'll surely work.

New Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Sunglasses Are Fugly
We're fans of most of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's forays into fashion. The Row makes us drool, Elizabeth & James consistently offers cool stuff at not-horrific prices, and we've even come to appreciate Mary-Kate's particular brand of boho/hobo chic. Even so, we can't get behind the glasses they're launching in November. They look like the ugly child of Coke bottle glasses and aviators, and we can't imagine them having many friends on the playground. The lenses are too light, the frames are super heavy, and the shape of the aviators is just a touch off. We're not in love with the cat-eye style either, but we can see them looking decent and appropriately retro with the right outfit and face. Thoughts? [Elle UK] Keep reading »

The shoreline of New York Bay, specifically the Narrows, in Bay Ridge, near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, is one of Brooklyn's most naturally beautiful places. Even today, with the highways, the buildings, and the bridge itself, it's still easy to imagine what Canarsee Indians, then the Dutch, must have thought when seeing it. The bay is a truly beautiful sight.- Montrose Morris
Yesterday, Brownstoner's Montrose Morris treated readers to another glimpse of Brooklyn's little-known yet historically rich past. This time, the story was [partially] focused on a spot that should be familiar to Bay Ridge residents – Owl's Head Park.
And the man who originally developed the land as a private country villa was none other than Henry C. Murphy, who as Montrose shows,"was one of Brooklyn's most impressive individuals."
Henry Cruse Murphy was born in Brooklyn in 1810. His parents, John Garrison Murphy and wife Clarissa, had settled in the town of Brooklyn [modern day Downtown Brooklyn] two years earlier. His father, a wheelwright, ran a successful business, and proved to be an innovative inventor with his development of new technology for team bolts – which were the teams of horses used at the time to pull freight across the East River.
As a prominent local businessman, Henry's father John studied law and became active in Brooklyn's civic life. He lobbied for the creation of Brooklyn's first public school, eventually becoming a judge. Young Henry would soon follow in his father's footsteps.
Henry Murphy graduated from Columbia with honors in 1830. He began studying law under prominent Manhattan lawyer and Brooklyn resident Peter W. Radcliffe. It was also during this time that Murphy began writing for the newspaper The Brooklyn Advocate and Nassau Gazette. It was just a few years later, after he had graduated law school, married Amelia Greenwood, and was practicing law at his office at Pineapple and Fulton Streets, when he would launch "his budding political career."
After first becoming the Village of Brooklyn's Corporation Counsel, Murphy became a Democratic Party representative, then City Attorney. Soon after the growing City of Brooklyn was incorporated, he was again tapped for Corporation Counsel, before establishing a law and investment firm with members of two of Brooklyn's oldest families. The firm of Lott, Murphy & Vanderbilt "became one of Brooklyn's power firms of the day." Impressively, Murphy had managed to accomplish all this while still in his 20′s!
By the time Murphy was in his early 30′s, he had become a trustee of the Brooklyn City Library [which predates the New York Public Library], and was a founder of the Long Island Historical Society [now the Brooklyn Historical Society]. In 1841, he helped found the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Kings County Democrat – what would would later become the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, a paper Montrose describes in her piece as "the daily chronicler of all things Brooklyn for over a hundred years. Murphy was one of the first editors."
From Brownstoner:
Never to let dust settle under him, in 1842, at the age of 32, Henry C. Murphy became Mayor of Brooklyn. Among his accomplishments were the expansion and paving of Myrtle Avenue, the organizing of the vast systems of warehouses along the harbor, and a comprehensive effort in improving the lives of the city's poor. He seemed to be so popular that before his term of mayor was up, he was elected to Congress, in 1843, one of that Session's youngest members. He only lasted one term, but managed to secure the Naval Dry Dock for Wallabout Bay, paving the way for the Navy Yard's prominence during the Civil War and beyond. Unfortunately for his legacy, he also voted against the national abolition of slavery, asserting that it was a private state matter, and couldn't be legislated on a Federal level.
A private citizen again, Murphy was still interested in politics, and after a very successful stint as Kings County's representative to the Convention for the Revision of the State Constitution, in Albany, he was re-elected to Congress in 1846. His term ended in 1849, and he returned again to Brooklyn. As a private citizen with great influence, he was able to get the city to buy the land for Fort Greene Park, then called Washington Park. He also had his hand in other civic projects. According to his biographer,Henry Reed Stiles, Murphy narrowly missed being nominated as his party's candidate for President of the United States, at the Democratic Convention in 1852.
The elections that year made James Buchanan the 15th President, and in 1857, he appointed Murphy to be America's ambassador to the Hague, the Netherlands. Perhaps not the most prestigious of foreign posts, but Murphy took it, and spent the next few years shoring up foreign good will. He had always been a scholar and a student of Brooklyn's history, and his posting in Holland afforded him the opportunity to study the Dutch, their history and culture, and the Dutch founders of Brooklyn. He learned to read and write in Dutch, and translated many early documents and histories of Dutch New York history into English. He wrote a regular column for the Brooklyn Eagle, describing Dutch culture and his travels in Holland.
In 1861, Republican president Abraham Lincoln was elected, and Murphy's term as ambassador was over. He returned to Brooklyn, already committed to the Union cause. As rumors of secession and war abounded, even before Lincoln's election, Murphy had been one of the State's most effective communicators to the rest of Europe, and was very much aware of what was going on. Upon returning, he helped fund one of Brooklyn's regiments, took care of some messy financial shenanigans going on in his firm of Lott, Murphy & Vanderbilt, and found himself in the State Senate again.
It was at this point in his life that Henry C. Murphy had purchased and began to develop his country estate in beautiful Bay Ridge – which up until a few years earlier had been know as Yellow Hook. An outbreak of Yellow Fever during the previous years, as well as the subsequent development of country homes for New York's elite during the 1850′s, led to the name change.
He built an impressive villa on the most scenic property in what was still the Kings County town of New Utrecht. It was positioned on a bluff of land above Shore Road, overlooking the Narrows.
His summer home was in the words of Montrose, "a respite from the city, and a far cry from his brownstone at 133 Remsen Street, in Brooklyn Heights." However, it was in this ocean breeze-filled Bay Ridge home – instead of what must have been a rather stuffy townhouse downtown – that the State Senate bill authorizing the Brooklyn Bridge was composed, and in 1866, was signed.
Bay Ridge's Senator Street is named in honor of Henry C. Murphy, whose legacy also has a connection to South Brooklyn's modern-day subway service. Murphy was the president of the Brooklyn, Flatbush, and Coney Island Railroad, which today is the NYC Subway's Brighton Line. He is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery.

Quite disappointed with this foundation. I purchased a sample size in light cream. It appears heavy and thick in texture, but I found using either my fingers, sponge, or brush that the outcome is very very very sheer! It really did nothing to correct or conceal any skin discolourations, but it left my skin feeling hydrated & dewy, not dry. The only use I have for this is to use it as a base (instead of regular moisturizer) for my studio fix powder, it worked quite well. I do like that it has SPF, I think for me that is the only pro for me. If you are looking for a very sheer moisturizing product, I would recommend it. But for me I require a lot more coverage, therefore am grateful I trialed a sample size first before wasting my money.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Pros: no breakouts, moisturizing without shine or dewy finish, non chemical sunscreen, great colors for pale folks, tube packaging.
Cons: sheer finish, more tinted moisturizer than foundation,not much buildability. You will need a good concealer if you have anything to hide. No colors for other than pale to medium skins, for shame.

I've been on a quest to find a perfect foundation recently and got this along with some skincare items while placing my order with PC. I'm NC 15 and ordered it in Light Cream. Now, I have used some samples of this foundation when it first came out a few years ago and I remember it being quite decent. Well, this time around I found this product almost disastrous. I'm on Retin-A so my skin is quite dry and sensitive, and still very prone to breakouts. This has made my face a greasy mess. It accentuated every single dry patch (even the ones I never knew I had) and at the same time made me a shiny discoball by 9 am (!). Blotting barely helped because I would have had to blot every hour - oilies reappeared almost immediately. I have NEVER had oily skin but having experienced this foundation I can now understand the frustrations of other oilier-skinned gals on this board. So at least this has been educational :). I'm surprised that other reviewers found the coverage to be matte. I wonder if I got a bad batch or something?
Giving it 2 stars for a good color match and broad-spectrum sun protection. It also serves as a decent undereye concealer, and this is how I'm planning to use it up.

Doesn't oxidize. No pinkness!!! Titanium and zinc sunprotection is the best!!! Nice matte finish!! Love it, now if it would last 12 hours it would be 5 stars......

I love alot of Paulas products but foundation is not one of them. I prefer a fuller coverage so I got a sample of this in Wheat, which I think is close to NC25. I should have gone one shade darker but for winter this would be ok colour-wise.
Now, after i applied it, I didnt even feel like i needed to powder as it sets to a matte finish. But this is NOT full coverage. I would say it borders on medium, I applied two layers in order to cover some of my natural cheek redness. And as for blemishes or any other really bad things you may have on your face, you'd need a separate concealer on top of this.
I suspect most girls would like the coverage this gives, but with a name like "all bases covered" I simply expect more coverage. I wouldnt buy this again simply because I shouldnt have to apply 2 coats of foundation in order to get the coverage I want. In this case, its just not the right foundation for me. Although it feels beautiful once it sets and gives the skin a lovely satin matte finish and doesnt look dry. So I think its a great foundation but just not good enough for me.

Paula's products are FABULOUS! This is my 3rd favorite foundation of Paula's, with her "Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF20" being my absolute all time fav, and her "Best Base Forward" being my #2! This provides medium-full natural matte coverage, that looks truly fresh, natural, and lasts all day on my very oily skin. I actually think this foundation is appropriate for oily/combo skin, since on my oily skin it looks nice and matte, and does not contain any chemical sunscreen (only mineral), which tend to cause more oiliness and breakouts. A dream to blend, and even very fair skinned gals will get a match. Also, Paula's shades are hands down, the most natural looking you will find! Highly recommend this if you want fuller coverage!
I have used every foundation in the world. I have used Armani, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Shiseido, Prescriptives, Mally, Clinique, Bare Escentuals, Makeup Forever. You name it I have used it and this is a fantastic foundation. You'd think because it is cheap that it would rival drugstore brands, but it is not so! This rivals Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer in texture which I think is one of the best feeling foundations available, but it covers as well and it lasts all day. I have used Estee Lauders Double Wear foundation and although it lasts all day it is impossible to take off. THis lasts all day and actually comes off. I use her Cleanser to take off my makeup which I also love. I love Paula's products. I use Sand and my equal in Mac is N25.

I didn't have high hopes for this foundation, considering the so-so reviews and the lower price tag. Amazingly, this is actually one of the BEST foundations I've ever tried. The lightest shade, "Light Cream", matches my skin better than any makeup I've ever tried. It blends in effortlessly, covers beautifully (one reviewer below mentioned an airbrushed effect, which is a great description), never cakes, is totally buildable and NEVER makes me break out (a miracle within itself!). It's also nice and moisturizing, which is perfect for when my skin is feeling a little parched. My only complaint and reason for taking away one lippy is that it doesn't last as long as I'd like.

such an amazing foundation. I have fair/medium skin color and wheat is a perfect color for me. I top it with Laura Mercier's loose powder and my skin almost looks airbrushed.
This really works well for me. It doesn't give super duper coverage, but it's enough for me and I don't have that great of skin. When you first put it on it doesn't blend all that well (b/c of the sunscreen, I think) but then it just melts in your skin. I follow it up with Laura Mercier's mineral m/u and my skin looks great. The color choices are minimal but very neutral. I think you would have a hard time finding the right color if you were more than a medium skintone.

Indo-Pakistan Negotiations
Indo-Pakistan Negotiations
When the news of the State's fraudulent accession to India became known on 26th October, Quaid-e-Azam who was staying at Government House Lahore, ordered General Gracey, the acting Commander-in-Chief, through Sir Francis Mudie, the Punjab Governor, to despatch, immediately, detachments of the Pakistan Army to Srinagar to capture the air-port. General Gracey expressed his inability to obey, without prior clearance from Field Marshal Auchinleck, the Supreme Commander. It appears that Gracey's excuse enraged Sir Francis Mudie who told him angrily to carry out the orders. Mudie, it may be recalled, was widely credited of pro-Pakistan leanings as Governor of Sind. Gracey telephoned Auchinleck at Delhi; he came post-haste next morning and had a long meeting with the Quaid-e-Azam. His argument was that since Kashmir had, due to accession, legally become a part of India, induction of Pakistan troops may lead to a total war and that in accordance with the British Government decision, taken on the eve of partition, and known as the "Stand-down order", British officers of the two armies would have to be withdrawn in such a situation and since Pakistan Army had a large number of British officers, its efficiency would be adversely affected. Auchinleck simultaneously prcposed that instead of sending troops to Kashmir, the Governor-General may invite Lord Mountbatten and Pandit Nehru to an immediate conference to search out an 2greed formula for a solution of the problem. It is very likely that Auchinleck may have cleared the proposal with Mountbatten before flying to Lahore. There, however, seems to be no doubt that the Quaid- a-Azam must have been assured of the acceptanca of his invitation by New Delhi and may have got an impression that an agreed solution was likely to be found out.
Quaid-e-Azam, therefore, withdrew his order and formally invited Lord Mountbatten and Pandit Nehru to a conference at Lahore for the 29th of October.
Sardar Ibrahim told this writer that when he met the Quaid-e-Azam in January 1948, on the eve of his departure for the United States, the latter told him that when he told his Cabinet that armedforces besenttoJammu and Srinagar, "my Cabinet got cold-feet". This shows that although Gracey had initially opposed the sending of Pakistan troops and communicated it to the Supreme Commander, the matter also came up in the Cabinet and it was not merely the opposition of General Gracey who could be over-ruled as a Service Chief but it was more due to the opposition of the Cabinet that the order to send troops to Kashmir was cancelled by the Quaid-e-Azam. That the opinion of the cabinet was a grave mistake is borne out by history but it is possible that they opposed the move for fear of an Indo-Pakistan war which in their opinion posed a graver danger to the existence of Pakistan.
What happened in Delhi is important as it shows that Pandit Nehru and his government never really intended to enter into any meaningful discussion except on terms that would have stamped the fraudulent accession with approval.
Mr. Mehr Chand Mahajan reveals that Pandit Nehru asked for an Oxford dictionary to make sure that the meaning of the word referendum which he was going to use in his broadcast on 2nd November, also meant elections.
For several years all that was known was that the invitation was accepted by both; that Sardar Patel and several other members of the Cabinet were stoutly opposed to its acceptance; that Sardar Patel compared Mr. Nehru's going to Lahore to Chamberlain's visit to Munich but that the Indian Prime Minister had 'manfully' stood against these pressures and told them that after all, they had not gone to Kashmir for the purposes of "acquisition". It had, therefore, been claimed that Mr. Nehru suddenly fell ill, was advised complete rest and that it was for this reason alone that he was unable to accompany Lord Mountbatten to Lahore. The departure of Mountbatten which was to take place on 29th October, was, on this pretext, delayed till 1st November. Mountbatten telephoned the Quaid-e-Azam on 28th informing him of Pandit Nehru's illness.
This version we get from Campbell Johnson. Mr. V.P. Menon, Secretary of the Indian Ministry of States and a great Indian himself, first published his book, the 'Integration of Indian States' in March, 1956. He
has given a part of the inner story. He says that after the meeting in which Sardar Patel opposed going to Lahore, he received a telephone call from Mahatma Gandhi's Secretary, asking him to meet the Mahatma urgently and that when he went to BirIa House, he found Nehru and Sardar conferring with Gandhiji. Says he:
"Gandhiji asked me what my objections were to Nehru going to Lahore. I replied that when this was mooted to me by Lord Mountbatten, I was entirely opposed to the idea and I gave reasons for my stand. While the discussions were going on, we noticed that Nehru was looking flushed and tired. It was found that he was actually running a high temperature. His going to Lahore was therefore out of the question."l
Lord Ismay who was on the staff of Lord Mountbatten to lend a helping hand in the transfer of power, was contacted by Auchinleck frcm Lahore. At that moment, a meeting of the Indian Defence Council was going on. Says Lord Ismay:
"Mr. Jinnah had cancelled his orders for troop movements and had fallen in with Auchinleck's suggestion that he should invite Mountbatten and Nehru to come to Lahore as quickly as possible and discuss the Kashmir problem. I congratulated Auchinleck on having intervened in the nick of time, and made haste to extract Mountbatten and Nehru from the meeting and tell them the purport of Auchinleck's message. They agreed to fly to Lahore the next morning. But the other Indian Ministers were highly indignant at the idea of the Governor-General and Prime Minister going `hat in hand' to Jinnah. Patel, who was particularly angry, said that it was reminiscent of Mr. Chamberlains's visit to Germany to plead with Hitler. I thought it right to point out that President Roosvelt had, on two occasions, travelled half across the world to settle war business with Marshal Stalin, and had not lost face by so doing. Nehru stuck manfully to his promise; but unfortunately he had to go to bed with a high temperature that evening, and was unfit to travel. The chance of striking, while the iron was hot, was lost."2
The proposed conference had been postponed from 29th October to Ist November, apparently on account of the so-called illness of Pandit Nehru. Without attributing motives to Mountbatten, it is more
1. Menon, p. 385
2. Ismay, p. 444.
probable that New Delhi wanted to watch and wait the progress of its military operations in Srinagar so as to tailor its policy to their needs. "The Great Divide" by H.V. Hodson, first published in 1969, gives the following account about Mr. Nehru's inability to go to Lahore:
"'tie Qrtcce Minister eventually agreed to go to a Joint Defence Council meeting in Lahore on Ist November, but on the evening before he was due to leave, he read in the papers a statement by the Pakistan Government to the effect that the accession of Kashmir had been accomplished by 'fraud and violence' and could not be accepted by Pakistan. He telephoned Lord Mountbatten to say that it was more than he could stomach, and that, if the Governor-General still insisted on taking him to Lahore, he begged not to be expected to discuss Kashmir with Mr. Jinnah. Lord Mount-batten excused him from coming, and went to Lahore with-out the Prime Minister, refusing himself to allow motives of personal pride or prestige to stand in the way of efforts for peace. Dog snarling at cat, and cat spitting back at dog, the interchange was all too typical of relations between India and Pakistan at this time."1
Conceding that Nehru had high temperature on 27th and even assuming that he was neither used to travel nor doing State business whenever the temperature was high (which, however, is quite untrue) and even assuming that the fate and future of the two countries was less important than the risk involved in air travel from Delhi to Lahore, there is no evidence at all that the temperature lasted till 1st November—six days later. It truly mirrors India's broken promises on Kashmir.
Mountbatten came on 1st November alongwith Lord Ismay. None of the Indian Ministers or the influential officials like Menon or Patel, was accompanying him. It was clear that India was simply bidding for time to consolidate its military build-up in the State while ensuring, through the hoax of negotiations, the non-intervention of the Pakistan Army. His arrival had been preceded by two telegrams addressed by Mr. Nehru to Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan. The first telegram sent on 27th October said:
to accede to India. Our view which we have repeatedly made public is that the question of accession in any disputed territory or State must be decided in accordance with wishes of people and we adhere to this view."
In the second telegram sent on 31st October, Mr. Nehru gave the pledge:
"Our assurance that we shall withdraw our troops from Kashmir as soon as peace and order are restored and leave the decision regarding the future of this State to the people of the State is not merely a promise to your government but also to the people of Kashmir and to the world."1
In their meeting at Lahore, the Quaid-i-Azam put forward the following proposal:
"I. A proclamation should be made by the two Governors-General giving forty-eight hours' notice to the opposing forces to cease fire and warn the tribesmen that., if they did not comply, the forces of both countries would wage war on them.
2. Simultaneous withdrawal from Kashmir of the Indian troops and the tribesmen.
3. The two Governors-General should be vested with full powers to restore peace, undertake the administration of the State, and arrange for a plebiscite under their joint control and supervision."=
Lord Mountbatten suggested the holding of a plebiscite under U.N. auspices but presumably he had nothing concrete to offer about internal administration. It was quite clear that with Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah in power, an impartial plebiscite was out of the question because he was too pronouncedly committed to the State's accession to India. He commanded a large personal following and if a plebiscite were held with his extremely partisan administration in power, this writer may testify as a Kashmiri that large sections of our people could not have freely and in-dependently exercised their right of vote. That is why Quaid-i-Azam was insisting on either a neutral administration or an administration responsible to the two Governors-General. Mountbatten was unable to accept the proposals. That may be reasonably explained away on the ground of his being literally a constitutional figure-head, but nothing prevented him from accepting their reasonableness and promising to use his influence
&2. Mohammad Ali, pp. 295 and 296.
in Delhi for their acceptance. This writer has no hesitation in accepting the position that as free India's first Governor-General, the decision-making power had shifted to the Prime Minister and that on account of being an Englishman, he held a somewhat delicate position but even con-ceding all this, it remains undeniable that the line of action suggested above could have hardly hurt him or his delicate status. However, all that he could promise was that he would refer these proposals to the Indian Cabinet which rejected them. In his report to his Soveriegn, he wrote about this meeting:
"At the end Mr. Jinnah became extremely pessimistic and said it was quite clear that the Dominion of India was out to throttle and choke the Dominion of Pakistan at birth, and that if they continued with their oppression, there would be nothing for it but to face the consequences. However depressing the prospect might be, he was not afraid; for the situation was already so bad that there was little that could happen to make it worse. I pointed out that war, whilst admittedly very harmful for India, would be completely disastrous for Pakistan and himself. Lord Ismay tried to cheer him up out of his depression but he was not very successful. How-ever, we departed on good terms."1
With the rejection of the proposals, Pandit Nehru made a broadcast on November 2 pledging again that the government of India
"are prepared when peace and order have been established in Kashmir, to have a referendum held under international auspices like the United Nations."
The developments in Kashmir greatly disillusioned the Quaid-i-Azam, especially when a high-ranking British officer told him the very next day that he had seen Nehru as fit as ever the day before in Delhi. Says Chaudhri Muhammad Ali:
"The turn of events in Kashmir had an adverse effect on the Quaidi-Azam's health. At the time of partition, he had been confident of Kashmir's accession to Pakistan because of its Muslim population and geographical situation. "Kashmir," he would say, "will fall into our lap like a ripe fruit". Now he felt deceived, and his earlier optimism gave way to a deep disappointment. "We have been put on the wrong bus", he remarked."a

The best thing about the end of summer and beginning of fall (even better than below 100 degree temps) is the beginning of football season. Unlike baseball, even the most boring football game will feature athletes colliding and flying through the air on nearly every play. Plus its a good workout running up and down the sidelines keeping up with the action. Outside of motorsports I gotta say that football is my favorite sport to shoot. Ok, lets get to the game. Hike!
.My schedule this year had prevented me from covering Arizona State football games all season, thankfully I had a free day which enabled by to cover their last game of the season against home state rival University of Arizona. It is always their biggest game of the year so that plus the fact the stadium is only 10 minutes from my house had me pretty excited for the shoot.

Friday gold puzzle – can you crack it?
Here's a little gold puzzle for you to ponder as you're getting ready for the weekend. See if you can figure it out.
Is the S&P 500 forming a double-top?
The DEC13 E-mini S&P 500 is down 12 points today to 1791. We noted yesterday the key barrier of 1807, and this barrier has clearly held up, with markets having a sharp negative reaction downward.
Gold shoots up, copper to keep rallying?
FEB14 gold shot up this morning, trading up $27 to $1,261. $1275 is our next key target and resistance level. Gold now looks like it could have some momentum to the upside, and possibly approach $1,290.

366 Songs 039: Girlfriend
Besides Jellyfish's (sadly meager) output, Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend is pretty much my template for "power pop" as a musical genre; it has the 1960s emphasis on harmonies, guitars and songs that are easy to singalong to, but it also has a particularly 1990s sheen to the overall production. That's what "power pop" is, for me; an attempt to evoke the 1960s in a very then-contemporary way (Things like Lilys' Better Can't Make Your Life Better, for example, with a sound that's far, far closer to the actual production values of the original '60s pop and garage bands, are something other than power pop, for some reason; I know that it's a particularly weird line to have, but it's mine and it's there, dammit. Sorry). In those terms, I'm not sure it gets much better than "Girlfriend," which is Sweet in full-on sugary-pop mode giving it his all with his nasal voice and love of guitar solos. Outside of all the "ooooooh" and "aaaaaaaah" backing vocals – which I adore, no joke – what really makes this song so memorable for me are the lyrics, which are so… childlike, I guess, in such a weird way: "I wanna love somebody/I hear you need somebody to love" and "Oh honey, believe me/I'd sure like to call you my girlfriend" are the kinds of things that you'd expect from someone who's never been in any kind of relationship ever, which I somehow manage to take as charming rather than, say, offputtingly naive. So much of Sweet's 1990s peak feels like the work of someone who's obsessively listened to their favorite records over and over again, taking them apart to see how they work and then trying to recreate them with each new song they write, and that idea follows through on "Girlfriend," which you can believe is the work of someone who's so much of a music nerd that they've not had time to actually pursue a real life relationship of their own. And yet… that kind of nerditry appeals to me, here; if you're going to write a song called "Girlfriend," why not have it sound as if it's being sung by someone for whom that word still holds a special charge…?

She taps my daughter on the shoulder with a bottle of spring water. It is a lesson learned, giving from the heart. Sometimes you do not need to look far.

Just asking,what type of background in other states do people in this same position have? Is it law enforcement or is it medical?
I didn't know if we see Mark Sanchez or Mark Romo last night,it looks like we saw Tony Sanchez.Pityful,Pityful.
To repeat a phrase I just heard on the Mike and Mike show.(J)ust (E)nded(T)heir(S)eason.
"Christie has been receptive to both alternative tunnel proposals."
Great article Mr. Genovese.Your next assignment should you accept it will be to find the most notorious
un coordinated traffic lights that impede the flow of traffic.One example coming off Route 9 south to Wilson ave and that light that gives you about 10 seconds of flow time and 10 minutes of wait time so it seems.
So many intersections like that so little concern it seems to fix them.
This tape will self destruct in (30) seconds. "=))
I know the conversation around the dinner table must really be something at the toll collector s house,I know the misses if any is tearing him a new one.
Years from now,hopefully not to many people will look back on this as we look at the old days of prohibition,except fire will replace the axes that back then were breaking kegs of liqour,fire used to burn tons and tons of illegal pot and people will say what was all the fuss about.Just like the lottery I know there are some out there who remember the local number writer,walking around with the numbers in his/her mouth in case they got stopped by the police,now that its legal who cares,same thing with the newly inacted sports betting law now that its legal and the government is the "bank"who cares.
Time to dust off those degrees fellows and get out here with everybody else,and get a job.
Being the only poster so far for "Smokin Joe"is a shame.
RIP Mr Joe Frazier.You will always be a champion.
Last week we had Mark Sanchez,last night we had " Mark Romo"which of these two quaterbacks will show up Thursday night is any bodys guess,we might even see "Tony Sanchez".

I guess he'll join Sarah Palin both laughing on the way to the bank.
