"Standing armies consist of professional soldiers who owe their livelihood and income to the government. Unlike civilians who render periodic service in local militia, professional soldiers do not own property and therefore do not have any source of income other than the government's military paymaster. Thus, they are more likely to serve the government's interests, regardless of whether its leaders are dishonest and corrupt or not. In fact, standing armies may even promote rapacious foreign or domestic policies if such policies enrich the army. In contrast, arms bearing, property owning citizen militiamen have a stake in the health of the republic as a whole and can be trusted to act in the republic's best interests, whether those interests call for action in support of or against the political leadership of the nation." ~ Anthony Dennis

Stony Brook University Students Prepare 4,000 lbs. of Food Donations
Featured in New York Cares Documentary
On March 22, 2013, members of Stony Brook University's AmeriCorps Program and Community Service Club (CSC) volunteered for a day in the Bronx with New York Cares, a nonprofit agency that aims to alleviate hunger in New York City. Along with volunteers from New York University and an Alternative Spring Break Outreach program from Maryland, 40 volunteers worked at the New York Cares Distribution Center to put together bundles of much-needed items for community members. Volunteers prepared over 4,000 lbs. of donations for families and children, providing baby items, diapers, food, juices, and other items.
While at the Center, Stony Brook student volunteers met Nigel Barker, celebrated television personality from America's Next Top Model. Barker was filming a documentary about New York Cares, and asked the students to participate. They met the President of New York Cares' Board of Directors, Gail Harris, and were interviewed about their service experiences. They also helped Barker shoot a promotional clip for the documentary.
The Community Service Club is currently applying for a US President's Volunteer Service Award, in
which groups that volunteer in the community receive national recognition from President Barack
Obama. Members of CSC have served over 3,000 hours in the community this academic year alone,
with additional projects on Long Island with agencies like Pax Christi Hospitality Center, Island Harvest,
Lighthouse Mission, and Long Island Cares.

Stony Brook's NRHH chapter is also now being considered for Chapter of the Year, with the winning chapter to be announced in June. Congratulations to NRHH!

News Details
Pirelli open to experimentation
Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery admitted that the tyre supplier is willing to experiment with wider tyres in an attempt to re-balance aerodynamic and mechanical grip. Earlier this season, Felipe Massa suggested that Formula One could benefit from introducing wider tyres while also reducing downforce, which would enable the cars to follow each other through corners far more efficiently. Hembery added that Pirelli suggested introducing wider tyres for the 2014 F1 season, but some of the teams on the grid weren't interested and the idea was put on the back-burner for the time being. "That was one of the things we discussed last year when we first saw the new regulations - having...

Louise Lombard: Death becomes her
Louise Lombard left BBC period drama behind to go to LA and a starring role in 'CSI'. Now she's back in Britain but still hunting murderers. James Rampton meets her
Monday 26 May 2008
Louise Lombard has featured in one of the most successful US TV series, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation; she won legions of fans from the hit BBC1 period drama about a 1920s fashion outfit, The House of Eliott; she co-starred with Viggo Mortensen in the well-regarded Hidalgo; oh yes, and she has also been voted one of the 50 most beautiful women in the world. And yet the British actress, who is now based in LA, remains appealingly unaffected by the trappings of fame.
"Hidalgo was doing well at the box office, coming behind The Passion of the Christ and Starsky and Hutch, and when my mum phoned, I told her about it. She was quiet for a bit and then said, 'what's Hidalgo?' She didn't even know that that was the name of the film I'd made. So you see, I could never be anything but grounded. My parents are Irish, and they have a healthy disrespect for people doing this."
The actress, who has also starred in Claim, opposite Billy Zane, and My Kingdom, alongside Richard Harris, has pointedly refused to take part in the fame game. She may have paved the way for actresses from over here to make it over there she was the forerunner of such "British invaders" in Hollywood as Anna Friel, Lena Headey and Michelle Ryan but admits that, when she landed the hugely popular role of Detective Sofia Curtis in CSI, she had no idea what the series was about. And the poised and refined Lombard is certainly not the type to turn up for the opening of an envelope in a barely-there dress.
Indeed, the 37-year-old emphasised her detachment from the hysteria that often surrounds her profession by taking time out at the peak of her celebrity to read English literature at Cambridge. "If you invite fame, it will happen. If you're into being recognised, then you will be. Generally speaking, the celebrities in the red-tops are there because they want to be. But that's never interested me I find it quite easy to stay under the radar. I've never courted fame. Also, the residents of LA are very blas about famous people. When Robert De Niro is walking on the other side of the street, I don't necessarily get mobbed!"
Lombard, the mother of a young son called Alejandro, is now swapping the glitz and glamour of the US for the grit and the grime of the UK. She is starring in Kiss of Death, a darkly disturbing new feature-length British thriller, which goes out on BBC1 tonight. She plays Kay Rousseau, a troubled detective on the trail of a killer. To make matters worse, Rousseau has just lost her baby daughter and has had to deal with the trauma of being tried for her murder. The detective has been cleared, but has scars that won't heal.
The story is told from multiple viewpoints, so you are never quite sure where the truth lies. It is up to the viewers to piece together all the shards of the shattered narrative mirror. Penned by Barbara Machin, the creator of Waking the Dead, Kiss of Death is compelling, yet gruesome stuff.
Lombard and I are chatting in her trailer stationed in a central Bristol car-park. I am doing my best to ignore the boxes full of prosthetic severed limbs that are strewn on the tarmac outside her door. The actress is sporting elegant clothes and immaculately coiffed straight blond hair very different from her House of Eliott brunette bob. On her table lies a copy of a book by Sally Clark, the late solicitor who was found guilty and then acquitted of killing her two sons.
The actress says, laughing, that rummaging around for clues while knee-deep in the mud on a riverbank just outside Bristol had not been top of her list of priorities. "I had just finished CSI and had absolutely no intention of coming back here. But I took the script for Kiss of Death on holiday with me. I wasn't expecting anything special, but I just couldn't put it down.
"The plan for me was to do more in the US, but here I am back in Bristol. My American agents are still scratching their heads about how it happened. When I first told them I was doing it, they stopped short of actually hanging up on me, but they were saying, 'we're not having this conversation you're not going back to England'."
The actress goes on to explain: "I loved the way the story was told, using different points of view and jumps in time. It means nothing is black and white all of the relationships are fraught and dark and complicated. I've seen it in movies like Memento and Amores Perros, but it hasn't been done before on British TV."
Lombard says she was also drawn by the complexity of her character in Kiss of Death. "With my feminist hat on, I found it really unusual to read such a strong female character. Kay is a very ambitious person who has risen to a position that not many women have in the police, yet she's very damaged. She's trying to maintain authority and clarity while at the same time coping with serious emotional demons."
Lombard, who grew up in Essex as one of seven children, confesses that playing a bereaved mother is "a tough place to go as an actress. You have to butch it up on screen because off-screen you're a mum of a two-year-old and you can't take it home with you. I'm reading this book by Sally Clark, who was a stronger woman than I am, and it gives me an idea of what Kay must be going through. Who could cope with that? What would it do to your head? Does Kay's husband believe she's innocent?"
The actress is clearly smitten with life in Southern California. "I love LA. It's funny, when I first went there as a younger woman, I hated it. But gradually, I became fond of it, and now it's home. What won me over? The fact that my son was born there made me feel like I had roots there."
The process of reconfiguring her life in order to shoot Kiss of Death in the UK has been far from easy. "I had to take my two-year-old son out of pre-school." And, on her initial return to these shores, Lombard admits she experienced some disorientation. "I hadn't been back for a good two years, and when I first returned I had a moment of culture shock. We were rehearsing on Tottenham Court Road, and when I mooched along to the sandwich shop at lunchtime, I was taken aback. Everything looked so smart and so different from what I had been used to. It looked like a film of London."
Still, Lombard feels the homecoming has been well worth it. Her son, too, has been having a fine old time, revelling in some archetypal British weather. "He had never used the words 'wellies' or 'umbrella' before," Lombard says with a fond smile, "but now they're his favourite words! After California, he has found the rain immensely entertaining. He was standing out here yesterday, shouting at the rain to stop. I had to tell him, 'I'm afraid it doesn't work in real life like it does on TV!'"

IF STEVE Halpin isn't out surfing on his wooden boards, you may find him making them. Otherwise, he's supporting the family doing security work.
The 45-year-old married father of one lives in Tewantin and is busy doing his best for the earth and its surfers with the manufacture of Paulownia and recycled timber surfboards.
He started to surf as soon as he came to Noosa when he was 26, and in no time at all had decided to take his career into surfboard production.
"So off I went to the local board factory and studied the subtle craft of surfboard manufacturing, under quite a few well-respected shapers," he said.
He credits Steve Friedman of Friedman Flyers and the now-retired Bill Wallace with sharing their knowledge with him.
"And one year during the Noosa Surf Fest, I was at the Sheraton," he recalled.
"And I dragged over Tom Wegner to see the Paulownia board."
Paulownia timber surfboards are Steve's specialty. He cites the qualities as resistant to salt, termites, fire and rotting.
"And it's a sustainable plantation-grown timber," he said.
"I still make foam and fibreglass boards," he said.
"But it is the wood boards I enjoy most.
"I am totally into building, riding and promoting top-of-the-line unreal-looking hollow surfboards."
Steve makes hollow wooden surfboards, fishes, guns, malibus, and stand-up paddle boards.
He uses recycled timber or sustainable harvest plantation timber. Left-over pieces are made into nose and tail blocks, fins or tick finish inserts.
See: www.woodensurfboardshapesbysteveo
Paulownia tree is native to China. According to both legends and records, dating back 2600 years, people in ancient times used Paulownia Trees for various purposes.

- Coolant Leak Diagnosis $95 - 121

1996 Suzuki Esteem Problems
An engine oil leak may develop from the front crankshaft seal due to hardening of the rubber seal. There is a revised seal and sleeve available to correct this concern. Our technicians tell us that changing the oil every 3000 miles may help prolong seal life.
A squeak type noise may be noted from the top of the rack and pinion steering gear while turning the steering wheel. This is commonly caused by friction between the steering pinion shaft and its seal. Our technicians recommend to replace the pinion seal and use multi-purpose wheel bearing grease during reassembly to correct this concern.
Our technicians tell us these vehicles are sensitive to fuel quality. Using fuel of marginal quality can result in illumination of the Check Engine Light with misfire or oxygen sensor fault codes stored.

Liverpool make Roberto Martinez offer to become manager, claims Wigan chairman

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan claims manager Roberto Martinez has been made an offer by managerless Liverpool but will await a further meeting before making his decision.
The Latics boss met with Liverpool's principal owner John Henry in Miami yesterday to talk about the vacant Anfield job after interrupting a family holiday in the Caribbean.
It was expected Fenway Sports Group would speak to other candidates on a short-list in the coming days but Whelan suggested developments had progressed.
He did, however, say Martinez - who would be expected to work under a technical director - wanted to negotiate a greater degree of control of footballing issues.
"I think what he has said is, 'Thank you for your offer but I only work under the following rules: I have to have complete control of football'," Whelan told Sky Sports News.
"That's normally the way in England, that's how we all work.
"I think they're considering his request and Roberto's considering their offer and they're going to talk again on Tuesday.
"Hopefully he stays with us but wherever he goes, he's 100% dedicated to that football club."
Liverpool have declined to comment on Whelan's claims.
It was anticipated the process of finding a replacement for Kenny Dalglish would have picked up pace next week with Henry and chairman Tom Werner likely to travel to England.
Martinez remains the favourite with the bookmakers, although that could have something to do with the fact he is the only contender publicly confirmed as being in the running.
Former Porto and Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas appears to have dropped out of the reckoning but it has been reported the Reds have not ruled out a second approach for Swansea's Brendan Rodgers after he declined their initial invitation to open preliminary talks.
Whelan, who set his manager a deadline of June 5 to decide his future, said yesterday he was not convinced Martinez would take the Liverpool job because of the structure under which he would be expected to work.
Former Wigan and Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland believes the Spaniard would regret not seizing the opportunity should it arise.
"What he'll be thinking to himself is: 'Will I get this opportunity again?"' said the 31-year-old, who had three seasons under Martinez at Wigan before agreeing a move to newly-promoted npower Championship side Sheffield Wednesday this week.
Kirkland added in the Wigan Evening Post: "The Liverpool job is still one of the biggest in the world - and it doesn't get offered to you every day.
"It's a massive job and it will be a massive opportunity for somebody.
"Whether that will be Roberto remains to be seem.
"But my gut feeling is that he'll go - there's been too much speculation for far too long for something not to be happening."
Martinez has failed to ignite the optimism of Liverpool fans, many of whom believe a more experienced manager should be tasked with getting the club back into the Champions League.
Former striker Peter Beardsley hopes the Spaniard, if appointed, will be able to win them over with his style of football.
However, the former England international believes FSG rushed into the decision to sack Dalglish after the club's eighth-placed finish this season.
"I think they panicked by getting rid of Dalglish," Beardsley told talkSPORT.
"I think they should have given him another year and seen where it goes.
"But Roberto has done well at Swansea and Wigan, he's come through the system and his type of football will appeal to the Liverpool fans."

|Snake oil salesmen and dodgy HIV "cures"
|Saturday, 09 June 2012 13:26
NAIROBI/JOHANNESBURG, – In January, Uganda's National Drug Authority arrested sales representatives of a company selling a drug that purports to cure HIV; the firm's owners are not licensed to sell medicine and are being sought by the police.
The drug, known as Virol ZAPPER, was being sold in 37ml liquid doses, each costing about US$210; patients were advised to take 10 drops daily. It was being advertised on local radio and TV stations as a miracle cure for HIV.
The sale of such "cures" is a profitable racket for charlatans willing to take advantage of desperate HIV-positive people; here is a collection of some dodgy treatments that have made the news in Africa over the years:
Tanzania – In 2011, tens of thousands of people from all over East Africa flocked to the tiny village of Loliondo in Tanzania seeking a cure for several diseases, including diabetes, tuberculosis and HIV. Ambilikile Mwasapile, a former Lutheran pastor, was charging 500 Tanzanian shillings – about $0.33 – for a cup for his concoction.
Several sick people died in the queues, which at their peak numbered 15,000 people. Studies are being conducted to determine the properties of Mwasapile's treatment.
South Africa – A 2008 Cape High Court judgment ruled that clinical trials of multivitamins in the treatment of HIV/AIDS by controversial vitamin salesman Matthias Rath were unlawful, and stopped them. The court also prohibited Rath from publishing any more advertisements claiming that his product, VitaCell, cured AIDS, pending further review by the Medicines Control Council.
Rath, who had been operating in South Africa since about 2004, claimed his multivitamins treated AIDS, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, bird flu and numerous other illnesses. Rath ran numerous advertisements aimed at convincing HIV-positive people to take his high-dose multivitamins rather than ARVs, available free-of-charge through the public health system, which he claimed were "toxic".
Kenya – In 2008, the government warned HIV-positive people in the country's eastern Coast Province to reject herbal "cures" peddled by fake herbalists who claimed their concoctions contained unique ingredients that could boost the immune system and even cure HIV.
An estimated 80 percent of Kenyans use traditional healers either exclusively or in conjunction with western medicine; the government is drafting regulations to stop fraudulent herbalists from practising.
Gambia - In 2007, President Yahya Jammeh was roundly denounced by AIDS activists when he said he had found a cure for HIV/AIDS and began treating citizens. Shortly after his announcement, Jammeh expelled the most senior UN official in the country for questioning his "cure".
The programme is still running, but more Gambians are choosing ARVs over Jammeh's treatment.
Ethiopia - In 2007, thousands of HIV-positive patients flocked to Entoto, an ancient mountain north of the capital, Addis Ababa, seeking a "holy water" cure for AIDS after local priests said they could cure HIV.
The Archbishop of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Abune Paulos, later advised patients to continue with their ARVs even as they sought healing at Entoto.
São Tome and Principe – In 2007, questions were raised about Dorviro-Sida, or "Put AIDS to sleep" in Portuguese, an anti-AIDS herbal remedy produced by Amancio Valentim, president of the Association of Traditional Medicine of São Tome and Principe. Valentim claimed three tablespoons of the brownish syrup, taken every day before meals, could reduce the viral load and make patients feel better; he said four patients who had taken the drug for four years had tested negative for HIV.
AIDS activists were concerned the drug could make HIV-positive people complacent about taking their ARVs, and the health ministry said it did not support Valentim's treatment.
South Africa – In 2006, a clinic in South Africa's east coast city of Durban began to sell "ubhejane" - a herbal mixture believed to treat HIV/AIDS.
The controversial traditional medicine received vast media coverage, mainly due to the backing it received from influential political figures such as the former health minister, Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, and provincial health officials. Ubhejane, a dark brown liquid sold in old plastic milk bottles, had not undergone any clinical trials to test its efficacy. All that the tests confirmed was that it was not toxic.
But HIV-positive patients were far more willing to accept the traditional medicine as an effective remedy, flocking to the clinic to buy a full course of the herbal remedy that retailed at R374 ($40).
Uganda – In 2006, the Ugandan government banned the use of a popular anti-AIDS herb remedy known as "Khomeini", after tests found it provided no cure. Iranian Sheikh Allagholi Elahi claimed the drug – which contained olive oil and honey and cost $1,650 per dose – could cure HIV/AIDS and TB in three weeks.
Studies by experts in Uganda and Kenya found that while patients had gained weight due to the nutritional content of the drug, it was incapable of curing HIV.

In the first case of its kind, a Pakistani cleric who spent a year detained at Guantanamo Bay is suing the U.S. and Pakistani governments for his "illegal detention, torture and humiliation." We go to Islamabad to speak with his lawyer. [Includes transcript]
Click here to read to full transcript A Pakistani cleric who spent a year detained at Guantanamo Bay is suing the U.S. and Pakistani governments for $10.4 million for his "illegal detention, torture and humiliation." His lawyers claimed he was mentally and physically tortured and kept in a cage that was meant for animals.
53 year-old Mohammad Sagheer filed the petition in an Islamabad court on Tuesday. He is suing the U.S. secretary of state, secretary of defense and the Justice Department as well as the Pakistan's Interior Ministry.
In the first case of its kind, Sagheer said he wanted compensating "for the losses I suffered during a year of captivity and mental anguish," adding "I am a poor man." He is the father of 10 sons and eight daughters.
Sagheer says he was arrested by Uzbek warlord Rashid Dostum's forces in 2001 soon after the Taliban's ouster in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province. The BBC reports that he is emerging as the first eyewitness to grave human rights violation by the Northern Alliance forces.
In May this year, Democracy Now! broadcast a film never before shown in the U.S. titled: "Afghan Massacre: The Convoy of Death," which alleges U.S. complicity in the massacre of thousands of prisoners who surrendered to the US military's Afghan allies after the siege of Kunduz.
- Mohammad Ikram Chaudhry, Mohammad Sagheer's lawyer and an advocate in the Supreme Court of Pakistan in Islamabad
AMY GOODMAN: A Pakistani cleric who spent a year detained at Guantanamo Bay is suing the U.S. and Pakistani governments for $10.4 million for his, quote "illegal detention, torture, and humiliation." His lawyers claimed he was mentally and physically tortured and kept in a cage that was meant for animals. 53-year-old Mohammad Sagheer filed the petition in an Islamabad court last Tuesday. He is suing the U.S. Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and the Justice Department as well as Pakistan's Interior Ministry. In the first case of its kind, Sagheer said he wants to be compensated, quote, "for the losses I suffered during a year of captivity and mental anguish," adding, quote, "I am a poor man." He is the father of ten sons and eight daughters. Mohammad Sagheer says, he was arrested by Uzbek warlord Rashid Dostum's forces in Afganistan in 2001 soon after the Taliban's ouster in northern Kunduz province. The BBC reports, he is emerging as one of the first eyewitnesses to grave human rights violations by the northern alliance forces. I spoke with Mohammad Sagheer's lawyer last week, Mohammad Ikram Chaudhry, among with Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzalez. We reached Mr. Chaudhry in Islamabad and asked him to describe the lawsuit.
MOHAMMAD CHAUDHRY: He basically — this is a person very unique because nobody so far has come out with the kind of sufferings and the atrocities committed on innocent people in Afghanistan and elsewhere by the Dostum and U.S. forces. So I think this was a case, which must have been pursued. And when I was contacted after starting the proposition, I decided that an innocent citizen, duly declared innocent by the investigating agencies in Guantanamo Bay, must have compensation and damages for illegal detention, torture, mental and physical sufferings of his own and his family members and I think he has a legal justification for that.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Could you tell us a little bit about the tortures and the treatment that he's alleging occurred in Guantanamo Bay?
MOHAMMAD CHAUDHRY: While he was there, he was put into steel cages of six feet into six feet into about six to seven feet height. And it was a solitary confinement of his own and other inmates of Guantanamo Bay. While he was put into those cages, in the earlier days, he was practically chained and handcuffed, not permitted to move around much, not entitled to any pray etc., very poor food and very little time. Approximately 10 minutes time was given for all that was to be consumed. He was, in the early days, of course, not allowed to move around. So, this was initially. Basic interrogation, when started, he was questioned about the Taliban, Mullah Omar, Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden. He told them that he was basically on a routine preaching mission along with his 10 colleagues in the province of Kunduz in Afghanistan in the month of Ramadan that was in November of 2001 when he was arrested by the Dostum forces and, of course, he was physically chained and, along with 250 people, he was taken to Sheberghan and Mazar-e Sharif. Now during this journey, once he was put into a container along with other 250 inmates, where the container could only afford the transporting of about 60 to 70 people. So, the consequence was that being suffocated, about 50 people died under being transported from one destination to another. He also told me that on one journey, there was bombardment and some of the — some of the people — who were being arrested, they were — they were buried and some of the injured alive, they were also buried here. While he was in the Sheberghan jail in Afghanistan, he was along with many other hundreds and thousands. In all he said that he saw about 30,000 people during this journey of about four or five weeks' time before he was flown from Kandahar to Guantanamo Bay. So during this period, U.S. army soldiers, they were also guarding them in jail and outside and of course in Kandahar too. No medical aid to any sick man. Some of them died over there. Very little food and water was afforded to them. A Red Cross team did visit Sheberghan jail but all that was handed over by them for the prisoners was never handed over to the inmates. It was retained by the Dostum forces.
AMY GOODMAN: He was also —
MOHAMMAD CHAUDHRY: And also he — Mohammad Sagheer — told me that while he was in Guantanamo Bay, he was twice put into a dark, cool chamber, once for eight days and second time it was fourteen days. And during these periods, practically his body —practically was frozen because of the chilly air, which was blown into that room. So, in this way, according to him, he suffered a great humiliation, many times he was abused in Afghanistan by the U.S. forces in Kandahar. He along with others, their beards were shaved, mustaches were shaved, their heads were shaved and they were physically given thrashings a few times. So, this was practically about a year and a month or so, a period of physical, mental torture and humiliating phenomena, which he underwent. He saw the living people being buried, injured people being buried alive. This was happening and he was under constant fear of death and physical and mental torture. So, these are the evils of atrocities committed by the Dostum and U.S. forces and, of course, by the U.S. officials who are manning Guantanamo Bay prison.
JUAN GONZALEZ: In Pakistan, under what provisions or what laws were you able to file this claim, because it is being filed in Pakistan, not in the United States, right?
MOHAMMAD CHAUDHRY: Basically, a United States airplane came here and brought him to Islamabad airport. So we have partial cause of action here and I have also impleaded the interior ministry, which is responsible to safeguard the rights of the citizens in Pakistan and, of course, abroad. So, this is a lawsuit under the law of damages and compensation and this is being tried by a civil court, which is in —-— situated in the premises of Islamabad, the federal capital of Pakistan.
AMY GOODMAN: Mohammad Ikram Chaudhry is Mohammad Sagheer's lawyer and an advocate in the Supreme Court of Pakistan in Islamabad. And that does it for today's program.

Product description
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mix-tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up. The Perks of Being a Wallflower film will be released in cinemas 3rd October 2012.

By Spencer 13 Jan 2013
This book has a very unique outlook on life and makes you see things very differently than you normally would. The outlook comes from Charlie who is a very autistic/Aspergers boy and as the title suggests is a wallflower. A social outcast watching society from the sideline. It's a great book as it gives life a new feel about it and isn't about vampires that we have been seeing a lot of. Definitely a book to buy
