The Bookworm: A leader like no other; a romance that withstands time
"Nelson Mandela"
By Kadir Nelson
c. 2103, Katherine Tegen Books/Harper Collins
$17.99/$19.99 Canada
32 pages
Your mother sent you to your room the other day. You hate that.
You didn't think you were being naughty but Mama did, and she punished you. You had to sit in your room alone for awhile and you cried, maybe, or pouted because it just wasn't fair.
Now imagine being locked in a room for years and years and years for no good reason. That's what happened to a great man in Africa, and in the book "Nelson Mandela" by Kadir Nelson, you'll read about that man and his life.
Rolihlahla loved to play with his friends, fighting pretend-battles and hunting with slingshots on the grassy hills of Qunu, South Africa. But he couldn't play forever: Rolihlahla was smart, and smartness like that needed an education. Rolihlahla's mother knew she would miss him while he was away, and she tried hard not to cry.
At school, Rolihlahla's teacher refused to say his Xhosa name, so she called him "Nelson."
As Nelson grew, he attended the finest schools in Johannesburg. He became a lawyer so he could help his poor and powerless African countrymen.
But something else bothered Nelson just as much as poverty: The South African government had a policy that split its citizens into three groups, and it wasn't fair. They called it apartheid, and Africans hated it.
So Nelson organized rallies and spoke to the people. He was jailed for speaking up, but he never stopped fighting against apartheid. He married and became a father, but he never stopped fighting. He organized rallies and protests, and never stopped fighting. A warrant for his arrest was put out, but Nelson never stopped fighting
Until he was caught, arrested, and imprisoned. He was sent to a small island where he sat in a tiny room every day, eating cold meals and working hard labor. He was there so long that when he got out, his children had all grown up. More importantly, South Africa had ended apartheid.
Finally, after almost 28 years, Nelson Mandela was set free. He was elected as South Africa's new leader. And the people celebrated.
You always want to give your child a good sense of history, whether it's in the past or in the making. "Nelson Mandela" is a good book for both.
Author Kadir Nelson gives kids just the right amount of information here; he's honest in telling what happened, without being scary. Curious kids will appreciate that this book is made kid-friendlier with a two-page section at the end that could help answer lots of questions. But Kadir Nelson's words are only half the appeal.
Nelson is also the illustrator here, and his paintings from the magnificent cover to every page inside are addictive. It's the artwork that makes this a book you'll want to browse, whether your children are around or not.
Kids ages 4-7 will love this story, and I think older gradeschoolers will appreciate it, too. If your child needs a little time out for reading, "Nelson Mandela" is a book you should make room for.
"Queen of the Air"
By Dean Jensen

336 pages
The bar was all of an inch in diameter, but it was perfect. You only needed to grab it and hang on, so it didn't have to be very big. It just had to hold your weight as you swung hand-over-hand, hung upside down, and performed monkeyshines on the monkey bars when you were a kid.
It was so easy then. Those same moves look easy now, especially when done by a professional. But as you'll see in the new book "Queen of the Air" by Dean Jensen, what's on the trapeze isn't what'll keep you hanging.
Alfredo Codona didn't believe in love at first sight until he saw Leitzel.
He was just 16 years old, a relatively minor trapeze artist and soon-to-be heartthrob. She was eighteen, stunningly beautiful, a "darling with circus audiences everywhere ... " Smitten, he pursued her with single-mindedness but the Queen of the Air had her career to think about, and she ended the short romance.
Born to an unwed teenager in 1891, Leitzel definitely had circus blood in her veins: Her father had owned a traveling troupe; her grandmother and aunts were all performers and her mother was a trapeze sensation.
It didn't take long for Leitzel to upstage her.
Alfredo was the long-awaited son of Edward Codona, owner of a traveling circus. Born in Mexico, Alfredo spent most of his youth watching his sister, Victoria, receive tutoring on the high wire. It was her prowess that got him to Chicago. It was she who saw his heart break when Leitzel said their romance was over.
And so, in 1909, Leitzel went her way and Alfredo went his.
She married, divorced, and married again but always had lovers on the side, powerful men who visited her tent after her performances. Her fame grew, and she made "Mister John" Ringling a lot of money.
On the trapeze, the grown-up Alfredo "had no peers." His fame, too, was growing and he had his sights set on a feat that everyone said was impossible. He married a fellow troupe member, but he never forgot his first love.
And then, 18 years after their last kiss, Alfred Codona found himself working beneath the same roof as his beloved Leitzel
So you say you love a good romance filled with drama. Add 1920s intrigue, period settings, elephants, and a dash of OMG, and you've got "Queen of the Air."
Author Dean Jensen, in fact, makes Leitzel and Alfredo's story seem more like a novel, with rich settings and good character shaping. But it's no novel, and in his afterword, Jensen explains how he researched this "epic" story. Long before you get that far, though, you'll be treated to a few hours of stupendous feats under the Big Top, and back to an innocent time that wasn't so innocent after all.
I could barely tear myself away from this book, and I think you'll love it, too. For anyone who knows that stardust can be a tarnished and magic is an illusion, "Queen of the Air" absolutely soars.
The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. She has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. Terri lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books.

Droga5 brand withdraws from New Zealand as agency rebrands as The Collective
The struggling New Zealand operation of Droga5, which was hit by the loss of key client ASB Bank earlier this year, has rebranded as The Collective.
The move sees the Droga5 brand pull out of New Zealand after just two years in the market.
The rebadged agency, which is believed to have around five staff, will continue to be run by Mike O'Sullivan, who was principal at Droga5 New Zealand, with digital partner Jose Alomajan.
Droga5 New Zealand was not owned by Droga5 – the Droga5 name was licensed to O'Sullivan to operate under, Mumbrella understands, though this was not confirmed by the agency.
In a press release, O'Sullivan commented that much of the work available in New Zealand was project based.
"Our model will reflect that," he said. "There are many experienced, talented people out there who want to work this way. The Collective can be about working with one person or many. It all depends on the task. The Collective will partner with clients like Qantas, AA Travel, Phoenix and Telecom. We will work with agencies as well."
The rebranded shop, though local in focus, will be affiliated with LA-based agency World Wide Mind, the new agency stated.
Dave Droga, founder of Droga5, said: "Using The Collective in Auckland will allow us to provide the maximum amount of client satisfaction to Qantas."
O'Sullivan added: "I've always wanted to try this model. A lot of the people we'll be working with have great records at other agencies. This is our chance to try something bold and new. It might even be fun."

The army and forestry officials plan to evict about 500 families who have encroached on a large area of the heritage-listed Dong Yai national forest reserve in Buri Ram province, according to Post Today online.
Officials flew by helicopter on Thursday to examine the Dong Yai national forest reserve and locate areas reported to have been encroached on.
They were led by Maj Gen Sermsak Niyamosoth, commander of the Buri Ram Military District, Yuthachai Pattamasonthi, director of the Nakhon Ratchasima-based Zone 7 Conservation Office, and Somsuan Raksat, chief of the Dong Yai game reserve.
The inspection was in response to reports of villagers having occupied land in the forest reserve, built living quarters and cleared forests for cultivation. More than 500 families were reported to have settled inside the forest reserve in six different groups, illegally occupying altogether 18,800 rai of land.
Authorities are planning to evict them because the forest reserve has been on Unesco World Heritage listing since 2003.
An official accompanying the inspection team said the authorities would first try to persuade the families to move out. If they do not cooperate, they would be forcefully evicted.

Weekend Cooking - Rock Cakes
6 comments:
Are they like an easier version of scones? The name "rock cakes" is a bit unfortunate, but I like the sound of them!ReplyDeleteReplies
They are fairly easy. Once you have the mixture you get a dollop of it onto a baking sheet, they are to be irregular shapes like rocks. They are best eaten soon after baking - that day or the day after.
Oh I haven't had rock cakes since I was last in the UK (in the last century!). Now I think I'm going to have to bake a batch this month.ReplyDeleteReplies
Me too Beth and I live here! lolDelete
My dad makes great rock cakes. Thanks for the reminder that I haven't had one for years and I need to get him to make a batch when I go to stay with him for a visit in a couple of weeks time.ReplyDelete

PORTLAND — This, by far, was the toughest test yet.
On the road, in a hostile environment, against a dominant home team — a team that is the only club that can claim it has beaten the Thunder in Oklahoma City.
PORTLAND — This, by far, was the toughest test yet.
On the road, in a hostile environment, against a dominant home team — a team that is the only club that can claim it has beaten the Thunder in Oklahoma City.
And though it took the first overtime period of the season to get it done, the Thunder finally finished off the Portland Trail Blazers with a 111-107 victory on Monday night inside the Rose Garden.
Kevin Garnett would approve if you deemed it a bar fight.
By surviving, the Thunder bumped its league-best record to 19-5 and moved to 10-4 on the road after an uncharacteristically poor showing two nights earlier at San Antonio.
Kevin Durant led the Thunder with a team-high 33 points, and Russell Westbrook added 28 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. Serge Ibaka provided 12 points, 13 rebounds and four blocked shots, James Harden scored 19 points off the bench and Kendrick Perkins pulled down 10 rebounds in addition to scoring six points to cap a total team effort.
"I'm just glad we got the win, man," said Durant. "It was one of those wins where we come back in the locker room a little bit emotional."
Two nights after Spurs guard Tony Parker shattered his individual scoring record for this season against the Thunder, Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge threatened to take it right back. Aldridge, who scored 30 against the Thunder in Oklahoma City on Jan. 3, finished with 39 points, three shy of Parker's 42 from Saturday at AT&T Center in San Antonio.
Aldridge connected on 14 of 28 shots but went 0-for-3 in the overtime session.
The Thunder's shutdown defense on Aldridge in overtime, largely a credit to Perkins, was a microcosm of how Oklahoma City put the clamps on Portland as a whole in the extra period.
The Thunder held the Blazers to four points on 1-for-9 shooting in the extra session.
"I thought Perk was the difference-maker," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "It's kind of weird to say that when the guy he was guarding had 39, but he made him work for every shot. His activity, his rebounding, his defense, his toughness I thought won this game."
No sequence was better than the game-clinching defensive stop.
After the Blazers inbounded the ball with 30.6 seconds left to play and OKC ahead by two, the Thunder swarmed every Blazers player with even the slightest chance of again tying the score. Westbrook crowded Jamal Crawford. Perkins played Aldridge tight. Ibaka showed a hard double team on Aldridge when he made his catch on an entry pass and rotated quickly back to his man, Kurt Thomas.

Private Obsession | Amy Hixson & Sarah Dumont by Caitlin Mitchell | Erotica by Jen Nash
I'm excited to present and promote photographer Caitlin Mitchell's one night pop-up gallery in New York on Nov. 16, 2001. Read the story behind Wednesday night's Private Obsession party, held in the new Will Torres workout space and featuring Caitlin Mitchell's images of Amy Hixson and Sarah Dumont.
We're previewing eight of Caitlin's images to be unveiled tomorrow night, with saucy text by Jen Nash. Come by on Friday for the completely gorgeous set.
"Baby… How well do you know yourself? Your limits? Your most secret unconscious desires? It's said that in order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice. Perhaps it's time to push yourself. To push your body."
see more images part 2 and (new) part 3. Read details of our sale of the Caitlin Mitchell prints.
Yes, please.
You pull me to the ground. Turn my face with your hand as you bear down on me. Force your mouth on mine as you grab my hands and pin them to the floor. Oh, yes…. I love your lickable lips as they kiss my neck, my ears and shoulders again and again. As you exhale, the raw sound of your desire rolls into me. Tight and lean my body will jolt, and buck against you as if electric. Uncontrolled, my hips will lift until we connect and I feel you soaked against my thigh.
Hoping to slow me, you'll whisper: "Don't rush." But my body has a mind of its own and I can't stop it.
To tame momentum, you force both my hands over my head. Arms raised, I am further exposed and suddenly aware of how powerful you are. Your right arm, so strong and defined, easily restrains both my hands. I squirm to free myself, but you hold fast. I can only marvel at the miracle of strength training as your left hand wanders my curves. Your delicate fingers stroke over and around the dip of my left breast, flicking my pale pink nipple, toying with me. Leaning in you kiss me deeply as your hand moves lower. I know what you're doing. I know what you're hoping to feel. Silky smooth, my wet lips part as your fingers sink into me. I spread my legs wider and welcome your touch. I'm not ashamed. I am yours..

CENTRAL FALLS — It was only appropriate that Central Falls High head coach Mo Jackson, who had strolled these sidelines for the past 13 years, would leave with a wildly-entertaining, 8-7 upset triumph over Division IV foe North Smithfield on Tuesday night.
His Warriors, who trailed 7-0 after just 2:31 had elapsed in the contest, fought tooth-and-nail in the muck that was – and is – Macomber Stadium, and Jackson reveled in the moment.
This, after all, would be his final home tilt ever at the decades-old ballyard.
"This is good," Jackson understated after shaking hands with Northmen mentor Wes Pennington, one of his former colleagues on these same sidelines. "It's been a long time since the seniors have won their last home game, and I'm ecstatic for them and all of the kids.
"It's nice for me, I guess, but I'm so happy for them. They deserved to win this, the way they battled," he added. "The guys were going crazy, but I had to tell 'em – 'Hey, it's not over until Thanksgiving (eve). We've still got to play at Lincoln, you know!'"
In the end, after senior Cam Stone had missed a 26-yard field goal wide left on North Smithfield's opening drive of the third quarter – one that could have sealed the win, senior quarterback Brandon Canuto marched his troops 80 yards, ending on Canuto's 13-yard TD keeper off left guard.
With seven seconds left in the period, senior tri-captain Kenuel ("Kenny") Lopez surged through the same hole for the two-point conversion to win it for the Warriors, who moved to 3-7 overall and 3-5 in league action.
"This feels great," Canuto stated emotionally afterward. "It was a great game, and we wanted to win it for Coach Mo. We know he's meant so much to this team."
When asked about the scoring play, Canuto chuckled, "It was supposed to be a '36 Blast,' but there was a mishap on the snap (which rolled to him on the ground). I just picked it up and started running, and then my fullback (Lopez) yelled at me to go straight, so I listened. I followed behind him, lowered my shoulder and drove in."
The Northmen started in fine fashion, taking over its first possession at its own 48. It needed only six plays to maneuver the final 52 yards, as junior signal caller Mike Cicerone threw an off-balance, 17-yard scoring toss to classmate Peter Keenan with only 2:31 elapsed.
Stone nailed the extra point as North Smithfield went up, 7-0.
Jackson's Warriors immediately drove to the Northmen 39, but a holding penalty ended that threat.
NS (which fell to 6-3 overall and 4-3 in D-IV) responded with a solid possession of its own, as senior Paris Correia (who finished with 108 yards on 21 handles) led his club to the CF 38, though that was halted on an offsides infraction and a one-yard loss on a fourth-and-3.
It looked as if the Warriors would get on the scoreboard with a lengthy drive from their own 39 to the Northmen 11, but another holding call pushed it back to the 26. Two incompletions, a two-yard reverse by senior Odair Semedo and Canuto's 10-yard keeper couldn't overcome a fourth-and-23.
Three snaps later, NS led the turf with that 7-0 cushion.
After CF scored its lone TD, back-to-back eight-yard gains by Correia and senior tri-captain Daniel Jordan pushed the pigskin to the Warriors' 19. With a first down from that distance, the CF defense – led by seniors Raven Rocque, Mathew DePina and junior Alex Gonzalez – sacked Cicerone for a seven-yard loss.
Not even a 19-yard catch-and-run by Jordan could overcome the fourth-and-24.
The Warriors followed with a 10-play drive from its own 11 to the Northmen 42, but the visiting defense mustered a stellar stand of its own. With 1:40 left in regulation, NS started its possession with Correia's seven-yard rush to its own 31, but they moved only five yards further before two incomplete passes and a seven-yard sack closed the drive.
"It was a mud bowl out there; we just blew some opportunities," offered Northmen mentor Wes Pennington. "We had that field-goal try, and (Stone) is more than capable of making it, but he pulled it a bit. Hey, it happens even in the big leagues. We played OK in spots, but you've got to hand it to CF. They played hard, and got that touchdown late in the third.
"I've known Mo a long time," he continued. "I coached with him on the staff that went to the '05 Super Bowl and won it; I was his special teams coach. He's a great guy, and he loves the kids and coaching. He gives 110 percent to that program, and with everything he does, be it football or softball. He's had success in everything he's done.
"If he is leaving, and this is his last home game, I wish him well. He deserves it."

A gauche new mouse for the sinister among us
February 5, 2013 - 02:34 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
As you can see from the picture the Zowie AM gaming mouse has a simple design, one which allows it to be used by righties and lefties without an issue. There is a thumb button located on both sides of the mouse, so even with the simple design you don't lose out on the extra functionality you expect from a gaming mouse. DPI and USB report rates are both modifiable but without bundled software you won't get the same level of control as with other mice. Drop by Red & Blackness Mods for a closer look.
"We have not reviewed so much from Zowie but today we take a look at the Zowie AM gaming mouse. This reminds me of the Steelseries Sensei and can be used by both left and right handed people since it has no special shapes at all. Enough talk, lets get on with this review!"

Razer's Taipan can strike from the left hand or the right
November 22, 2012 - 06:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The stats on the packaging of the Razer Taipan Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse are impressive, an 8200 DPI 4G dual sensor system, 1000MHz ultra-polling and nine programmable buttons make this a serious gaming mouse but for many it will be the fact that this mouse can be comfortably used with either hand. Of course since it is symmetrical there is no way to adjust the length, width or height of the mouse as some other companies have been experimenting with. MadShrimps like the performance of the mouse in office applications as well as gaming but were not as impressed with Razer requiring you to create an account to have access to their software suite and, for some reason, they wanted more LEDs.
"The new Taipan ambidextrous mouse from Razer weights no more than 132 grams, comes with a high performance 4G Dual Sensor System with 8200DPI and makes use of the Razer Synapse 2.0 software for easy customization of the 9 programmable Hyperesponse buttons."

Carbon to host Grand High on Friday evening in a rematch of last season's opener
After all of the hard work in the offseason lifting weights, running the steps at the football stadium and learning the nuances of newer offensive and defensive schemes, now is the time for the Carbon High School Football team to apply that work on the field.
And the long wait is nearly over as the Dinos will open the 2014 season when they host the Grand County High Red Devils on Friday evening at 7 p.m. at the Carbon High Football Field.
The game will be one of the many firsts for the Dinos. For CHS Head Coach Jan Jorgensen it will be the first time he stands on the sidelines as a coach instead of being out on the field as a player. Jorgensen, who starred for Carbon High from 1999-2003, was a standout defensive lineman at BYU from 2006-2009.
For the players, the new season will provide them with a fresh start as they begin to build towards the future. Carbon will enter the game against Grand with a 17 game losing streak that dates back to early 2012. Many of the games last season ended with Carbon on the wrong side of a lopsided score as they went winless over the course of 10 games.
Carbon will look to be led by a strong, stalwart defense that Jorgensen hopes will replicate the success seen at BYU during his tenure.
The Carbon offense will also fully unveil their new read-option attack that relies heavily on reading the opposing defense before every snap. Since the beginning of the 2012 season, Carbon has moved from a spread offense to a traditional I-Formation and now to the read-option. The offense has struggled to score in recent years as the Dinos averaged 3.4 points per game in 2013, compared to 10.5 points per game in 2012.
The Dinos will be looking to exact a measure of revenge against Grand after suffering a 48-7 loss to the Red Devils in the opener in Moab last season. Carbon quickly fell behind and were never able to build momentum against a motivated Grand team that ended the season in the 2A Championship game.

This one and a half page document gives a brief overview of teen dating violence and healthy relationships and also includes references to February's Teen Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness Month.
Approximately one in three adolescent girls in the United States is a victim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner (Davis, Antoinette, 2008) and 57% of teens know someone who has been physically, sexually, or verbally abusive in a dating relationship. (Liz Claiborne Inc., 2005). Teen dating violence, a pattern of destructive behaviors used to exert power and control over a dating partner, is increasingly recognized as a widespread community issue affecting young people across gender, sexual orientation, race and culture.
While there are many similarities to domestic violence, young people may experience increased risk and vulnerability because of their life circumstances and life stage. Youth may feel intense peer pressure and fear from the disapproval of adults, adding barriers to seeking help. Teens have less recourse to legal remedies and youth in unstable living situations are at increased risk for exploitation. In addition, the large role of technology in many teens' lives can be used as a tool by abusers that not only complicates the abuse, but allows it to stay more hidden.
Mutual respect, equality and open communication can be modeled as healthy relationship values and positively reinforced among peers and across generations. Those values are just a starting point. Think about and discuss what a healthy relationship means to you! Challenging and analyzing messages about gender roles, violence and other stereotypes are also powerful tools in reducing violence now and creating healthy relationships for the future.

D.I.Y. Ricotta
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
1. Combine 4 cups whole milk, 1 cup cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a saucepan and bring just to a boil without stirring. Immediately remove pan from heat.
2. Let mixture stand for 15 minutes at room temperature. As time passes, the curds will begin to separate from the whey. If only a few curds form, your lemons may not be acidic enough; add another 1 tablespoon lemon juice, gently stir so you don't break up the curds too much, and let stand for 5 minutes more.
3. Using a large spoon (not slotted) or measuring cup, spoon curds into a cheeseclothlined sieve set over a large bowl. The longer you drain the ricotta, the denser and more flavorful the cheese will be. Add it to your favorite lasagna, or spread some on toast and drizzle it with honey for breakfast.

Pakistan Elections 2013:Vote for Change, Vote for PTI and Vote for Bat!
Some random comments on these elections
Need Change: Zardari and Nawaz Sharif are two big symbols of this political system. People need tos ee who is sticking with them as allies and who is taking a stand against them. People need to come out for a change and vote for Naya Pakistan and Vote4PTI. Reject these NRO and IJI-2(10 Party alliance) gangs.
People standing up above their prejudices: I am glad that some of my strongly religious friends who belonged to Shia sect are now not following Sajid Naqvi and others who are supporting PPP and MQM but they are now supporting PTI. Similarly some of my Deobandi friends have stopped blindly following their brand of sectarianism and instead of following Fazl ur Rehman type, they will now give votes to PTI. Similar is the case with some Barelvi friends. This is change as its not just feudalism and extortion mafias which are exploiting people. These fake fatwa factories are also exploiting the sectarian diversity and using it to strengthen their political and financial positions. In sha Allah PTI will get the chance and deliver good for the people and the country.
For Karachi: If someone can solve two major issues of Karach then its IK only. Two major problems of Karachi are:
a) Bring peace
b) Local bodies elections and decentralization of power
Military operations by PPP and PMLN governments were the reasons behind the start of ethnic violence as it provided more sympathies to MQM. ANP,PPP and MQM are major responsible of recent mess in Karachi. PMLN was ally of PPP in center when PPP took power in 2008 and they remained allies for a long time in Punjab. Bot PPP and PMLN avoided local bodies elections in last 5 years so one can get the idea what Karachiites should do?
MQM and JI are not major parties and they only work as proxies of PPP and PMLN respectively. PTI will be in a position to take independent position on the issues.
For IK haters: The thing is simple, whatever IK does and whatever social class background he has, he stands up above his social class prejudices of Mr/Mullah, Shia/Sunni,Muslim/Non-muslim or ethnic ones and supports justice and prosperity for all. This thing is lacking in so called religious and so called liberals of Pakistan a lot.
Comment on IK's speech in grand finale of PTI 2013 election campaign: I am glad that Imran Khan thanked people from all school of thoughts for praying for his health. Apart from many other reasons, I support Imran Khan mainly because he stands up above from his sectarian and social class prejudices and works for justice for all whether shia or sunni, whether muslim or non-muslim, mr or mullah, poor or rich and treats them like human beings. This is something which is lacking in fake liberal and fake religious parties.
My vote is for Justice and My vote is for BAT!
No Drones–>PTI Peace March to Waziristan on 23rd September
It is indeed a great effort by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to launch a Peace March to Waziristan on 23 September 2012. Imran Khan will be leading the march to show the reality of drone attacks in tribal areas and how they are resulting in innocent civilian casualties. Please support this effort by whatever way you can.
JI/PTI: Will the fundamentals be compromised over tactical politics?
Recent wave of Arab spring and success of Justice and Development Party in Turkey have given many lessons to Islamic movements and political parties around the world.
These revolutions and political successes came as a result of patient and hard laboured struggles without compromising on fundamental issues.
Here in Pakistan, after wasting a decade in an un-wanted foreign war, there was a chance of smaller but ideologically focused parties to join hands against the so called war on terror.
The other fundamental issues which got spot light during that time were issues like independent judiciary,corruption, missing persons and breaking the status-quo in Pakistani politics.
Two political forces, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf led by Imran Khan and Jamat e Islami led by Munawwar Hassan, can be expected to bring people together on fundamental issues related to the survival of our country. On one hand eyebrows are being raised over the inclusion of former PML-Q members in PTI and their alleged soft corner for MQM which Imran Khan has rejected.
PTI's poltical leadership has been denying the impression that they are forming any alliance with forces of status-quo, MQM with its politics of violence or any corrupt leadership. Their point of view on the inclusion of new leadership as expressed by Imran Khan recently is that these people are joining PTI after agreeing with PTI's agenda and knowing that their assets and credibility will be scruitinized before giving them any party tickets.
Time will tell if PTI sticks to what it claims. Now in another turn of events Jamat e Islami is getting closer with PML-N, a force well-known for being an important part of status-quo along with two other pillars including PPP and establishment.
This development is interesting as according to the news reports, Farid Paracha of Jamat e Islami said,"All the PML-Q has been renamed as PTI. If we have to work with these corrupt people, there is no need to get closer to the PTI."
This line of argument is interesting from Jamat e Islami's senior leader. JI is criticizing PTI for including those who are joining the party after accepting PTI's agenda on USA war on terror, corruption,judiciary etc. Also these people are joining PTI after knowing the fact that their assets and credibility will be scruitinized before giving them party tickets.
On the other hand JI prefers to be partners with a party which is itself an important part of status-quo and has a good history of corrupt power politics (JI's past statements are also there on this). It was evident from the JI's recent social media campaign that the people in JI who support PML-N and JUI-F are not happy with PTI's growing popularity and a possible conflict of interest in the form of some common vote bank or supporter base especially anti-war on terror votebank.
If we talk about fundamentals, PML-N supported operations in Sawat and tribal areas, and played its double role in judiciary movement. Also the possibility of them having a clear stance on corruption is very limited, if we look at their past tenures in federal government.
But still they are eligible for being a partner in the eyes of JI's senior leader despite former accusations by JI on PML-N for playing the role of a friendly opposition.
So far there are no clear statements on the recent developments between PTI and JI relationship by their top most leaderships. According to news reports, they are expected to meet soon to discuss recent developments in Pakistani politics and way forward with each other.
I hope they will keep fundamental issues like war on terror, corrution, indepndent judiciary, missing persons and independent foreign policy in mind before taking any major decision. This is a make or break time for Pakistani politics as new developments are taking place in neighbouring Afghanistan and a new wave of change in Pakistan is knocking our doors.
Will PTI and JI compromise their fundamental stances over some tactical politics? Their answer may determine the future course of our country and its politics.
Imran Khan is US, Western Slave, Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan –>The NewsTribe
Peshawar: Pakistani Taliban has slammed PTI chief Imran Khan, terming him a slave of America and Europe. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan's spokesman Ahsanullah Farooqui told BBC that liberal was an English word, if Imran Khan considers himself a public leader then he should talk in Urdu which is national language of Pakistan.
He said that Imran Khan often says in his speeches that he was not Taliban's supporters then 'we are not in misunderstanding too'.
Khan told BBC in an interview that he was a liberal man and against of Taliban insurgents.
The TTP spokesman while defining a liberal man said that a man who considers himself free from all religions, adding such kind of cannot be preacher of Islam.
He said that he wants to inform PTI chief that he blames that Pakistani politicians were slave of the United States, but " I want to inform Imran Khan that he is slave of those Americans who are not alive now."
Meanwhile, PTI provincial spokesperson Zahid Hussain Momand said that his party was against of military operation in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Militancy would automatically be finished if war in the tribal regions stopped, he added.

Imran vows to take drone issue to ICJ –>The News

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday said his party would take the issue of drone attacks to the International Court of Justice and appreciated the resolve of the founder of a UK-based legal action charity, Reprieve, to knock on the doors of international courts against such strikes.
He said war was too serious a matter to be left to the generals, while a grand Jirga from Waziristan, through a unanimous resolution, called upon Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to take note of the drone attacks and hold an independent and transparent probe into the matter.
The Jirga was co-organised by Reprieve and the Foundation for Fundamental Rights to raise awareness about the drone assaults and firm up a line of action on how to halt them. The Jirga demanded of the Pakistani military to stop its operation in Waziristan and said the tribal people were capable of tackling the menace of militancy on their own.
The largely-attended forum urged the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and UN Special Envoy on Extra Judicial Killings Christof Heyns to help halt the US hegemony, mass killings of tribal people and undermining of Pakistan's sovereignty by drone attacks.
Various participants cautioned that after failing in Afghanistan, the US was looking for an excuse to attack Pakistan. Speakers heaped praise on Reprieve founder Clive Stafford Smith, as well as on Shahazad Akbar of the Foundation of Human Rights for their endeavours to legally fight the drones' issue and highlight it at different forums. Jemima Khan, the ex-wife of PTI chief Imran Khan, also attended the Jirga session.
Imran Khan, during his speech here at a local hotel, quoted France's ex-prime minister Georges Clemenceau and said war was too serious a matter to be left to the generals. He said generals were handling the tribal areas' policy with the civilian puppet government having no say at all.
Imran said the situation was no different in the US where generals, such as Petraeus, handled the Afghan policy and had no plan-B. The PTI chief said the anti-terrorism war was adding to the number of militants and intensifying militancy, and those who lost their relatives looked for revenge, either becoming militants or supporting the militancy.
Later, Imran addressed a rally of his party here at the D-Chowk near parliament and said every minute of the National Assembly proceedings consumed Rs66,000 but its members could not get a unanimous resolution against the drone strikes implemented.
Imran said it was a matter of shame that sessions of the lower house of parliament were costing the national exchequer so much but in return legislators had failed to come up to the nation's expectations.
Amid chants of 'shame, shame', the PTI chief said the APC resolution had clearly said that if the US did not stop drones, the Nato supply would be blocked. "Did the MNAs do so? Instead, drones continue to hit Fata," he said.
He called President Asif Ali Zardari 'Sadar Zardari, Bari Bemari' and said: "We have no hopes in him, since he is a beneficiary of the NRO, which has bound him to silently support drones and remain loyal to the US".
Similarly, Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif, whom he called the Dengue Brothers, have also disappointed everyone, Imran said. He asked why they were holding a public meeting in Lahore whereas Zardari was sitting in Islamabad.
PTI workers warmly welcomed Clive Smith, when Imran invited him to express his views on the matter. "What we need is your support and a pat on the back to take forward the issue. We need evidence," he remarked.
Clive Smith said: "We will be going to the US, France, Germany and other European countries to raise the issue". He described drone attacks on Waziristan as a criminal offence.
Earlier, the rally participants endorsed the resolution, adopted by the Waziristan Grand Jirga, by raising their hands. The Jirga's resolution confirmed that US spy agency CIA was responsible for the drone attacks in Pakistan and such strikes were being carried out by CIA agents sitting in Pakistan and abroad, which was a flagrant violation of the country's laws as well as international laws.
The proceedings were bumpy, as at one point, Kamran Khan, an MNA from Fata, and a tribal elder, Khan Marjan, exchanged hot words (mostly in Pashto), accusing each other of being non-serious about drones.
The images of collateral damage caused so far by drone strikes were shown on a projector and saddened the audience. Mutilated bodies of children and elderly people were painful for the viewers who watched with disbelief.
The resolution noted that Fata, particularly the North and South Waziristan Agencies, were part of Pakistan and its inhabitants were Pakistani citizens under Article 1 of the Constitution. However, the state and its institutions had failed to safeguard the fundamental human rights there such as the right to live. It also noted that attacks were mostly inflicted during late night so that the tribal people could remain in grip of fear and insecurity.
The resolution confirmed that drone assaults were mostly carried out on residential areas and homes, resulting into the deaths of innocent women and children.
APP adds: Addressing the rally, Imran Khan condemned what he called the 'criminal silence' of non-government organisations (NGOs) on drones that claimed to be champions of human rights. He asked the government to quit if it could not take action in this regard and said civilian casualties because of the drones were increasing with each passing day.
He said the judiciary was independent, but some people were a major hurdle in the way of the implementation of the Supreme Court's decisions. He demanded the implementation of the resolution adopted in the recently-held All Parties Conference. "After coming into power, the PTI will introduce an economic system that will protect the rights of consumers and investors, and will convince foreigners to invest in Pakistan," he added.
Pakistan should talk to the Taliban: Imran Khan –>DAWN

LONDON: Cricketer turned politician Imran Khan called Thursday for the army to withdraw from Pakistan's tribal areas and for talks with the Taliban, warning that the country faced "catastrophe" otherwise.
Khan said the US-Pakistan military offensive in the areas bordering Afghanistan was turning locals massively against the United States and boosting support for the militants.
US drone strikes on militants were sparking "anger and hatred" in the area, said Khan, who leads the marginal Tehrik-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice).
"The solution is to hold a dialogue with the militants," he told an audience at the Chatham House foreign policy thinktank in London.
"The solution is to win them onto our side, not to bomb them with airstrikes." Otherwise, he warned: "If we continue with this military operation we are facing a catastrophe."
The militants operating in the tribal areas did not share the beliefs of the Afghan Taliban, who wanted to create an Islamist state, he said.
"In my opinion, they are political Taliban, they are not religious Taliban."
"They will fade away as soon as the Pakistan army moves back and dialogue is held," he added.
Khan said that Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf once described him as "a terrorist without a beard" for suggesting talks with the militants, but now it was an idea being promoted by others.
"Now even (Afghan President) Hamid Karzai considers (Taliban supreme leader) Mullah Omar to be a brother," Khan added, to laughter from the audience.
He also criticised the tactics of the US military surge in Afghanistan.
"The only way I see the surge being effective is if they use their muscle to get the Taliban to the negotiating table."
"If they use the surge for more bloodshed, I can guarantee they will leave behind — because they will leave — a far more radical government than the one it replaced."
A US drone strike in the lawless northwest border area Thursday targeted Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud, officials said, although the militia denied reports that he was among 10 killed. –AFP

During February while everyone around us was celebrating the Olympics my family and I packed our bags and left on a trip to Bishop, a favorite spot to visit with our kids. We had a few good days and then revisiting an amazing line called Seven Spanish Angels I felt pain in my shoulder as I was locking off. Later that night my shoulder got super inflamed and and I realized that my climbing trip was pretty much done. It was really disappointing but I had good friends and my family around me so it was still nice to be in such and amazing place with good people.
Jack Fieldhouse - Finally Climbing Again
When I got home I started rehabing the shoulder and mtn. biking to keep busy. With all the new trail activity around Squamish there was loads of new riding for me to explore and I was having a blast. I had picked up a pair 5.10 Freerider shoes when I stopped by 5.10 headquarters in Redlands on our way to taking the kids to Disneyland and was enjoying the unparalleled security those suckers create on flat pedals when injury struck again. I had finished a ride and managed to have a clutsy awkward fall (I won't go into details because it's such a lame story) and tore my hamstring pretty badly. Luckily it didn't require surgery but extensive rehab and down time. Long and short of it, I haven't climbed in over three and a half months and this Saturday I finally got back out there.
I was totally apprehensive about getting out there too early and having a set back but I've also been dying be out on the rock again. So, when a friend called and asked if I wanted to do an easy multi-pitch slab route I said yes, figuring it might help stretch out my hamstring and continue to breakdown the masses of scar tissue that had formed.
We had a great day in the sun cruising up fun slabby granite and as we climbed I looked over to my left and caught sight of and gave a shout out to my friends Sonnie Trotter and Big Kevin who were also out enjoying the sun. A little later when we topped out I looked down to see none other than Fred Becky making his way up. Not bad for a guy in his late eighties. Anyway, due to lost leg strength compromised proprioception, it turned out that the walk down was actually harder than the climb up and I took it really easy to avoid re-injury.
It felt great to be back out climbing in perfect weather after 3.5 months off. This morning I woke up still excited and all I could think of was getting out again so I phoned my friend Marc Bourdon who is also rehabing a shoulder and we went out and did and handful of easy sport climbs at Chek Canyon. I'm so psyched to be climbing again!
Pics of the bruising about a week after the tear and of Fred Becky finishing yet another lap on the Apron. I wonder how many that makes? ;)

The number of '12 car nameplates subject to the U.S. gas-guzzler tax is up some 30% compared with prior-year, according to a WardsAuto analysis of Environmental Protection Agency data.
Fifty-two '12 nameplates fail to meet the 22.5 mpg (10.4 L/100 km) fuel-economy threshold needed to escape the penalty, which can range from $1,000 to $7,000, depending on EPA ratings. Factor in all the variations of each and that number swells to 71.
That's up from the 39 nameplates and 63 total variations tagged gas-guzzlers in the '11-model year.
Luxury brands dominate the list, in terms of raw numbers. BMW has the most offerings subject to the tax at 13. But nine of those are variants of the brand's flagship 7-Series.
BMW's total is down from 16 in '11, according to preliminary EPA fuel-economy data.
Mercedes and Audi are close behind with 10 each. Mercedes' total is one more than its '11 tally, while various configurations of the R8 and R8 Spyder account for eight of Audi's gas guzzlers.
The exotics lead the way in terms of saturation. Every model offered by Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Maserati and Rolls Royce is subject to the tax. But none of these marques comprise more than a handful of models.
Roush, with its lone offering, the Stage 3 Mustang, is the only other brand to earn this distinction.
Of the U.S. market's Big Six auto makers, three boast guzzler-free lineups: Ford, Honda and Nissan.
Implemented in 1978 as part of the Energy Act, the gas-guzzler tax is levied against auto makers as a penalty for producing cars with exceptionally poor fuel economy. Light trucks are exempt.

Native American cultures of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego
Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego lie at the southernmost extremity of the South American continent. The earliest humans arrived in the region well over ten thousand years ago.
At the time of first contact with Europeans, in the sixteenth century, several cultural groups inhabited the mainland and adjacent archipelago. They can be characterized by two different ways of life. The Aónikenk (Tehuelche) of southern Patagonia and the Selk'nam (Ona) of northern Tierra del Fuego exploited terrestrial resources: guanaco (a type of camelid), birds and plants. These terrestrial hunters used skilfully made bows, arrows and bolas to hunt both the guanaco and the rhea (South American ostrich). Guanaco skin was used to make clothing and dwellings.
The Yámana (Yaghan) and the Kawéskar (Alakaluf) inhabited the archipelagos to the south and west of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, and relied on canoes to exploit maritime resources, including large sea mammals, birds and molluscs.
Wood and tree bark was of central importance to the maritime groups; they used it to make objects ranging from canoes to buckets, while many of their tools and weapons were made of bone from sea mammals.

Weather warning for Reading
24 August 2004
The Little John's Farm site has taken approximately ten times as much rain as this time last year
and organisers are appealing to festival goers to travel by public transport, as currently much of the car
parking is submerged under the River Thames.
Some camping areas are also currently underwater. A spokesman for one of the festival's main sponsors said: "At the moment staff are trying to pump the site dry in time for the weekend."
A spokesman for event promoter Mean Fiddler said: "Due to the recent wet weather, please make sure that you bring plenty warm clothes to this year's Carling Weekend Reading Festival, along with wet weather gear and wellies. If the bad weather continues for the next few days we may need to park cars offsite."
Weather reports are predictably contradictory. The BBC says there will be no entirely dry day now until Saturday, while Weather.co.uk and the Met office agree that there will be pretty much constant rain now until Sunday afternoon.
As for the Leeds leg of the Carling Weekender, the forecast looks promising, though most
predict a wet day sometime during the three-day festival.
Both sold-out events take place this weekend, 27-29 August, headlined by The White Stripes, The Darkness and Green Day.

Now this one really is good to look at. I thought the previous one was a little over-worked and as such the post-processing distracted from the scene, but this one is delightful. Good work, well done.

Hi Chris!
This really does look good in mono! It really brings out the composition nicely...
Sorry if I was a little direct with my opinions on your previous treatment of this picture. Some things suit certain subjects but not others and your original treatment may have been fine for a different type of shot.
Anyway, this has come together really well. Lovely work!
