What to See in the Male
The greatest attractions of the Maldives are its white sand beaches, its fabulous diving and the splendid isolation of its coral islands. Almost all the bona fide tourist attractions are to be found in Male or on the North Male Atoll.
Approximately one-third of the Maldives' population lives in its capital city, Male. Male is a busy, crowded place, in direct contrast to the sleepy resort islands. You'll find skyscrapers in Male, but you'll also find shops and restaurants where you can catch a glimpse of what life in the Maldives is like for the people who actually live there. One thing you won't find in Male is beaches or palm trees. The city is encircled by seawalls made of concrete tetrapods to keep out the rising seas.
Here are some of the interesting sights you'll find in Male:
- Maldives National Museum: The Maldives embraced Islam in the 12th century B.C. For eight hundred years afterwards, the archipelago nation was ruled as a sultanate. The Maldives National Museum in Male is housed in the only part of the sultan's palace that is still standing. Exhibits include many of the sultan's possessions, including clothing, furniture, thrones, armor and photographs of the royal family. The museum also contains rare Buddhist statues and a cenotaph that dates back to the times when the Maldives was still a Buddhist nation.
- Maldives Grand Friday Mosque: The Grand Friday Mosque, also known as the Hukuru Miskiiy, was built on the foundations of a much older temple that faced west to catch the rays of the setting sun. Consequently, the structure does not face in the true direction of Mecca, and worshippers must make the necessary adjustments when they pray there.
The mosque itself was built 1656, and its blue and white minaret in 1675. Though its exterior is an unprepossessing façade of corrugated iron, the mosque's interior wall, made from coral stone carved with geometrical designs and Arabic script, is quite extraordinary. The mosque's interior also contains elaborate wooden carvings, including a 13th century panel depicting the Maldives' conversion to Islam.
- Mulee-aage: Directly in front of the Hukuru Miskiiy sits the Mulee-aage, which was built at the beginning of the 20th century as a home for the Sultan's son. It is an attractive palace with wrought iron gates and a charmingly friezed roof. Today, the Mulee-aage houses the President's offices.
Maldives Fish Market: Male's northern waterfront is the city's commercial center, and the site of its famous fish market. When fishing dhonis return with their catch every afternoon, the market becomes a hub of activity. These days, the catch is mostly tuna. There are other markets in the area as well that sell dried fish and fresh produce brought by dhoni from nearby atolls.
- The Esjehi Art Gallery: The Esjehi Art Gallery is housed in one of the oldest buildings in Male, a 19th century nobleman's palace. The finely carved wooden panels covering the walls of the building give some sense of what life was like in Male in bygone years. Today the building houses a small collection of contemporary Maldivian arts and crafts
Getting Around the Maldives
The 26 atolls of the Republic of Maldives spread out over the Indian Ocean for roughly 35,000 square miles. Although the Maldives is the smallest of all Asian nations in terms of its actual landmass and population, it is also the most dispersed. It takes a long time to get from one edge of the Maldives to the other.
The direct flight from London to Male, the country's administrative capital on the southern edge of North Male Atoll, takes approximately ten hours. The international airport is actually on the island of Hulhule', a little over a mile from Male.
Once there, getting around the Maldives can be daunting. This is one reason why Maldives resorts strive to be all-encompassing experiences. Once you arrive at your resort destination, the logistics of getting out of the resort to explore are quite a challenge.
There is a municipal ferry between the airport and Male. Most resorts, however, pick up their guests at the international airport. Guests are transported to their resort destination either by seaplane or by speedboat. Seaplanes are small, and their cargo capacity is limited. Passengers and baggage are weighed before boarding, and if you're traveling with a lot of baggage, it may need to be transported by boat separately.
The atolls themselves consist of coral reefs and sand bars, which make the navigation of large ships problematic.
Most resorts are happy to plan day expeditions to nearby tourist attractions for guests, using the resort's own transportation options. Maldives tourists can also charter seaplanes at a cost of between £85 and £215. The only places where visitors are likely to travel on roads are in Male and within the southernmost atoll Addu. The natives travel mostly by motorcycle, but if you are traveling in Male, you will find plenty of taxis to take you to your destination.

The Venus is a soft flexing directional twin board with a hybrid-rockered profile for the lady who likes to ride the whole mountain. Enjoy effortless turns in deep snow and full days of riding your favourite features. The Venus features Flow's KUSH-CONTROL Plus technology to create the smoothest and strongest board on the hill.
Riding Style
This freestyle board is ideal for all conditions. Whether in the park or on the slopes, chilled or with speed. You can explore all areas.
This directional twin will provide you with some extra float in the deep fluffy stuff while still providing excellent switch riding capabilities. Due to the setback of the bindings towards the tail, the nose gets a little bit longer, while the shape of nose and tail is still symmetric. The EZ-Dual transitional sidecut is mellow between the bindings and at the tips with a more aggressive grip in the binding areas. This creates a more forgiving ride when things get a bit bumpy and a tight radius blended for quick carves.
The EZ-Rock profile is a hybrid of a very subtle reverse camber profile with a convex base between the bindings and a camber starting before the binding zones provide unparalleled stability. This makes pressing nice and easy and improves agility, no matter where you place your bindings.
A medium soft flex fits perfectly to the all-mountain design of this board, stiff enough to keep you in control yet soft enough to allow for a fun and playful ride.
The Tru-Flex core has a high strength-to-weight ratio by utilizing poplar wood, uniquely profiled to give you an excellent all-around response in any condition. Biax glass features a jib-friendly, torsionally soft flex and forgiving, park-friendly feel. The Optix base is a low maintenance base with great strength and speed. The Kush-Control Plus technology features urethane compounds that are utilized in the sidewall, base, and top sheet, which adds to the flexibility and stability of the board and gives it an all-time smooth ride.
Subject to alterations according to the manufacturer. Image is non-binding.
Flow revolutionized the snowboard industry in 1996, when they introduced a binding with a reclining highback for so-called speed entry. Not yet satisfied, they went on to create barefoot feel boots and boards to complete the whole package. Changing the world, one happy snowboarder at a time.

The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh has completed its most significant redevelopment in over a century, breathing new life into one of the finest Victorian buildings in Britain. 16 new galleries, home to over 8,000 objects, take visitors on an inspirational journey through the wonders of nature, the cultures of the world and the excitement of science and discovery.
Working with the Museum, award-winning practice Gareth Hoskins Architects has opened up and expanded the Museum's public space, restoring and revitalizing the grandeur of the Victorian Grade A listed building. Ralph Appelbaum Associates, international interpretive planners and designers, were responsible for creating dramatic new exhibitions for visitors.
Spectacular stone-vaulted spaces on Chambers Street, originally used for storage and hidden from public view, have been excavated and sensitively developed to form an impressive new Entrance Hall, accessible from street level and encompassing welcoming visitor facilities.
From here visitors enter the breathtaking and light-filled Grand Gallery. This beautiful 'birdcage' structure, with its delicate cast-iron balconies and soaring glass roof, was opened in 1866. Designed by the Royal Engineer Captain Francis Fowke, architect of the Albert Hall, it was inspired by London's Crystal Palace. It offers one of the most memorable architectural experiences in the UK.
The Grand Gallery has been reinstated as a dramatic focal point of the Museum's displays, with its impressive feature the 'Window on the World'. Spanning the four stories of the majestic Grand Gallery space, this spectacular vertical installation rises over 20 metres and showcases extraordinary objects from across the collections of National Museums Scotland.
The Discoveries gallery in the centre of the building, another major architectural feature, provides a dramatic new home for one of the Museum's most popular exhibits, the Millennium Clock and some of the key highlights of the internationally important collections. Opening up long-forgotten archways, this space draws visitors through to the exhibitions and an expanded three-story Learning Centre, which features new studios, event spaces and an upgraded auditorium. A series of balconies, walkways and escalators improve visitor circulation and provide dramatic views, both of the architecture and the displays.
A broad range of exhibition design approaches have been developed to bring the rich collections to life: from a spectacular array of open-display taxidermy to contemplative object-rich installations; from an immersive cinematic experience to dramatic objects which act as focal points; and from hands-on interactives to displays of internationally important and unique objects. The redevelopment is the centerpiece of a visionary Masterplan to realize a 21st century museum which will stimulate and inspire people for generations.

Updated at: 2355 PST, Monday, November 23, 2009
KARACHI: A ban has been imposed on airing of Geo News' program 'Meray Mutabiq' from Dubai.
According to sources, the high government officials of Pakistan exerting pressure on the Dubai government had the airing of the program stopped.
Geo's administration has said that this step of the government is tantamount to targeting the freedom of expression.
It may be mentioned here that the senior analyst Dr. Shahid Masood was the anchor of 'Meray Mutabiq'.
Some critical reflections:
by Sarah Khan:
Dr Shahid Masood, along with Ansar Abbasi and others, is known to be a staunch supporter of Taliban and a a tool of anti-democracy establishment in Pakistan. He was abusing the freedom of media for the last few months by openly conspiring to derail the democratic system.
Thus, banning hate speech is not an attack on the freedom of press. Shahid Masood, Ansar Abbasi and their cronies are the people who blame CIA/ Blackwater for all suicide / terrorist attacks on innocent Pakistanis even when Taliban butchers shamelessly claim them.
However, I have my doubts if there is a real ban on the airing of this program or it is just a publicity stunt by Dr SM and Geo TV in order to improve their falling rankings and credibility. For example, in the very last episode of the program, two persons were invited to speak, i.e. Ansar Abbasi and Shaheen Sehbai. Ansar Abbasi is notorious for his pro-Taliban views; he is also a senior member of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Pakistan. Shaheen Sehbai is a technical advisor of the Pakistani Taliban Union of Journalists (PTUJ); he is upset with the democratic government because his request for being appointed as an ambassador to Canada was turned down by President Zardari last year. Thus, apparently, the three persons who claimed that there is a ban, are all part of Geo/Jang group and all are known for their vendetta against the democratic government.
According to The News: "Monday night's programme of Dr Shahid Masood featured Group Editor of The News Shaheen Sehbai and Editor Investigations of The News Ansar Abbasi, who condemned the action, and with one voice declared that the action would not force Geo TV to succumb to government pressure.".
The trio against democracy is obviously in action in Pakistan.
Simple questions to understand/decode GEO+Establishment conspiracy.
Q1/Dr Shahid Masood programme is aired on weekend not on rest of working days..why on monday, Geo admin cries that programme is not allowed/suspended??Wait till next week and if it doesnt not go on air, then cry??
Q2/The credibility of Dr SM is not hidden and his dubious,treacherous role and lies are well proved and documented. I am not just firing in air without any proof.Please check it out these links and see his credibility..Hidden Truth of Jawab Deh.
Q3/Since the day he was fired from PTV chairmanship [by Sherry Rehman], he has turned not only anti-PPP but also a pro-establishment darling.
Public sympathies will be on SM side, He will get more popularity...GEO TV will run a crying campaign ....All media crows will raise their calls.....
Good plan Jew (Geo) group!
by ppropolitics:
I don't think it is Zardari who has done this [if at all there is a ban, not publicity stuent]. Either it is done by a minister or it is just a stunt by Dr. SM. The ban is [allegedly] just on using Geo's Dubai Studio and Feeder. Now if SM operates from home, records a program, and then sends it to Pakistan feeder through net, there will be no problem. [Similarly, he is free to come to Karachi to broadcast this program.]
I think SM is trying to create a rift between Govt and press and is trying to gain sympathies of media which he was loosing due to his hate speeches
Pakistani Taliban Union of Journalists (PTUJ), the Mullah Media Alliance (MMA) and the Jew (Geo) TV Network have protested against this ban. Please accept our commiserations.
Dr. Shahid Masood was shouting fire in a crowded theatre
by Altaf Khan
Wrong or Right, our media has become so much powerful, ubiquitous and superior that it can make or break the governments. This new king-making role has given new dimensions to the way this country is and will be ruled from now on. Banning the media is not an option anymore, and equally the measures to regulate or control the media by the government is useless too, and besides no one would like to tread this very dangerous and unpopular path.
But that has apparently got into the heads of many. In the nascent democracy of Pakistan, some anchorpersons are already fedup of the democratically elected president and their chosen people. They are trying hard to bring out the rattling skeletons in the cupboard of presidency just to embarrass the president and to see him quitting leaving the country in yet another mess. Not a single corruption charge has been proved on the President Zardari during this term and all the mud which is being slung belongs to the past.
If you watch "Meray Mutabiq" by Dr. Shahid Masood you would think that the presenter of the program has some personal score to settle with the president. He always invited the likes of Ansar Abbasi, Shaheen Sehbai and Saleh Zafir into his program who literally abuse the president. Even Dr. Shahid mutes some words of Saleh Zafir in his program.
They all must realize that words are extremely powerful and they do make or break. They need to understand that if this regime collapses, then so is the democracy and any hope for the survival of this country and we will be back to square one, even worst than the Musharraf era.
What do ordinary Pakistanis think:
(Various sources)
Shahnaz said:
We must thank the UAE government for foiling the anti-democracy plans of Dr Shahid Masood and the Jew TV network. I don'think Pakistan government or Zardari is involved in this move. I think the UAE government have themeselves realized that this man, Shahid Masood, is violating Pakistan's constitution (Article 6) by trying to abet the abrogation of constitution. I request Pakistani lawyers to drag this person (and his crony Shaheen Sehbai) in a court of law, where gallows are waiting for them.
Zafar said:
This man was a symbol of hate speech. If he would have been in a developed country, he would have been either in a mental hospital or in a correction centre (prison). Good bye, Mr. Meray Mutabqi. F..k you.
Rangeela said:
Not a single tear shed. Only certain supporters of Taliban will create hype in the cyberspace and that's its. Yet, we don't underestimate the power of the Geo (JEW) group which has a Zionist agenda shaped by their owner Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman.
bsobaid said:
This is a good step.
Shahid Masood has been the loyalest ghulam of establishment and working day and night to further their agenda.
However, this also shows government days have been numbered.
Mulla Nafs e Zakkiya said:
Yes, this is possible, as in the past week or so, Dr Shah-id was going nuts in cursing out Zardari…he was really really really going nuts.
In private we were discussing this exact point, cause he openly said last week, to this effect, that" kuch loog kehtay hain keh pehle bhi hum ne chori ki to dekho humain sadar banaya gaya", or ab hum pehle se bhi baray dakay marain gey to tum kiya kar lo gey!
he was hinting at zardari gang……..
but all of this is being done at the behest of ISPR….so repeat of the old saga…
dr shahid masood has clear information that insider PPP and old PPP and ISPR and N-League all are mouting pressure on the removal of zardari regime….
This pressure will boil down on Yusuf Gillani's neck and he will be forced to fight it out.
I think zardari will attack!
eeman said:
govt. did good with dr. shahid masood, he crossed his limit
public choose PPPP, dr shahid don't have right to for force govt. to obey his opinion he is not a opinion maker
opinion maker is public and public choose pppp
his last few episods were giving the message he has something personal with govt.
also don't forget when he left ARY for geo and GEO for PTV means to say his position is also doubtful
no doubt he has knowledge & research but it is also not doubt he is BAKAOOO MAAL
that is all
A. Ali said:
I am not a great admirer of Peoples Party or Zardary, in fact I despise both of them, however, the way Dr Shahid Masood has been conducting his shows lately, it was very unbecoming of a good anchor or news person. His intentions were totally against Pakistan's interest. If it was Nawaz Shareef or Musharraf or anyone else, in place of Zardari, I would have supported them and not Shahid Masood.
I think we the people should draw a line in the sand and tell all the anchors, politicians and anybody else for that matter, that there is so much we are going to tolerate and after that we will not support you. Once that message is heard loud and clear by everyone, I think then we will start attaining some sanity in the society.
discover said:
I think Govt did the right step because he spreads anarchy in the country. According to his program that Govt is at the last stage. I am not in favor of zardari I hate him but media played a dirtly roll in when Mushraf was in Power.
Join PTV Shahid masood they will give double package this time. Some anchor are taking bribe from ganja party to speak in their favor.
Illusion said:
Shahid Masood is another name for "Yellow Journalism". The most biased, illogical and irresponsible journalist of Pakistan. I hated his show, hated his pessimistic approach towards anything and everything related to Government of the time.
But i condemn any action taken by Government of Pakistan to impose restrictions on his idiotic show or any other news show. Such action will do nothing except giving bigots like Shahid Masood another life, now he and Geo tv will try to do politics by using sympathies of this emotional nation.
I wish Pakistani Nation recognize its true enemies, and instead of Government, People of Pakistan protest against Yellow Journalism and create pressure on these news channels and their idiot anchors and Journalists to leave their pessimist approach and instead of acting like a political party themselves, present their shows and news. Sensationalism/conspiracy theories sells but whats important is to report the news by spreading and talking about Hope instead of misery.
ibrarmir said:
AoA dear participants; why don't we do some Istakhara about Dr. Shahid Masood and than say something about the situation. Allah Dr. Shahid Masood kaiy shar saiy Pakistan Ko Bachaeiy. He is on a very serious Yahoodi Loby Agenda to make Pakistan politically damaged. He used to send emails to Mohterma Shaheed Benazir Bhutto from PPP London office and that was to promote himself in days. Then what happened, he was kicked out from their and same happened in PTV. Now this the best time that I should produce some more facts and open some secrets about him than you will come to know about this traitor.
Allah is really Great. My Pakistan is really and You Guys are Great
bsobaid said:
I dont understand why is Shahid Masood even allowed to run this non-sense program. The other night in his show some ghairat-o-hummiat se bharpoor lawyer was accusing Zardari for accepting 50-80 crore as bribe for every secretary level posting in Islamabad. What is this non-sense? Does he have a proof of that? Did he solicit government's response on this accusation? What kind of journalism is that??
Every night he sets up this dokaan where he is trying to convince everyone that government is going in days and asking everyone about ways in which Zardari and PPP government can be ousted.
Establishment is playing its old and sleazy game behind the slogan of ghairat-o-hummiat with people like Shahid Masood as their spokespersons and awam again buying into this non-sense.

bsobaid said:
I was talking about that particular accusation made in his show without any proof.
Yes, whoever accused of corruption should clear himself before courts but you must realize WHO is throwing all these accusations???
Establishment??? The same establishment whose army chief accepted 24 millionUS Dollay as kick backs in one arms deals for French submarines??
2% commission is fixed for army chief for every arms deal. All arms deal are handled and negotiated by army with NO oversight by any public representative or parliament. The record is not made public for journalists to uncover the real corruption that goes in arms deals.
CIA reportedly spends 1/3rd of its budged on ISI. Where does that money go???
There is no denying of the fact that politicians are involved in corruption but we all must not dance on the tunes of establishment under the guise of Shahid Masood and likes. Democracy must continue and current setup must complete 5 years.
bsobaid said:
When we say all politicians are corrupt,w e are clearing the way for Musharrafs and Zias and Ayubs, who are ten times bigger chor and no one has the courage to accuse or even uncover their corruption.
Pakistan's biggest business deals are made in defence sectors. All those arms deals are handled by army with zero oversight of parliament or any other public institution. Do you have any idea how much money these generals make from these arms deals? politicians are nothing before them and yet these same biggest thieves manipulate awami emotions using Shahid Masoods.
Do we really want army to take over again? They do far far far more corruption than politicians. We must not give them a chance to loot this country even more. Corruption can only be eradicated by alternative leadership and that can only emerge with the continuation of democracy. Removing democratic governments before their tenure make it impossible for alternative democratic powers to strengthen.
aawan said:
I am sure your tactics of spreading disappointment will never work.
Alhamdulillah Pakistan is heading in right direction since restoration of judiciary with the force of people of Pakistan. The reason for slow speed is the fact that Government is determined to go against the will and betterment of the country and people of Pakistan.
Event already occurred that shows that Pakistan is heading in right direction
- Restoration of Judicary
- Unconstitutional judges thrown out of courts
- November 3rd action declared unconstitutional and Zardaro could not provide indemnity to Nov 3rd action
- NRO could not be ratified by Parliament
Below events are destined to happen in future, its only matter of time.
- NRO minister will have to resign
- 17th amendment will be passed
- Zardaro will be have to step down to face cases which will take him to jail again
- Free and fair Mid term election that will bring the parties outside parliament including nationalist parties of Baluchistan that will help solving Balochistan issue
- Musharraf will be brought to justice under article 6
- New Government will divert to resolve the issue awaam and media will divert its attention to awaami issues of povery joblessnes etc.
No matter what ever evil forces (PPPP, US etc) do, above events will definatley happen. They will only waste time of our nation.

and I am not spreading any hopelessness and disappointments. The arguments you have made are made whenever there are conspiracies against democratic governments. The same arguments were made when BB was removed twice and when NS was removed twice and people like you danced on the streets and distributed sweets. No mid-term, no inquilaab and no drama can change any situation. Continuation of democracy and letting democratic governments complete their tenure is the ONLY way we will solve the corruption problems and which parties you are saying are out of parliament?? Imran Khan's tanga party?? Jamat-e-islami?? You hold elections today and these two combined will not win more than 5 seats in the parliament.

To be frank, I dont see any problem in that. When we criticise Altaf Hussain that he is doing politics from abroad and he should be in Pakistan then why cant we apply same principle on Anchors and programmes.
Dr SM thinks he is the most important person and as if without him pakistan will disappear in thin air . Dr Sb get real and welcome to real world. Its easy to throw stones from a bunker, come to pakistan and join the other journalist who are doing the real journalist work with all the pressure and threats to them.

So, that is not the case of more viewers or less but the fact of the matter is that He is following some Jewish Loby and others dangerous Agenda. You can see his body language about counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds for the fall of this democratic government.
And just think about the historical facts or milestones have be achieved in this government like;
1. Dr. Qadeer sahib is free 2. Molana Aziz sahib is free 3. CJ Ch. Mohammad Iftikhar sahib been reinstated 4. Sawat is ok 5. IDPs are back 6. Benazir Income Support Programme is doing well and some other social reforms related to BISP are doing well in Pakistan 7. 18th Amendment is about to come in the same manner like it happened to make 1973 Constitution in 1973 8. Balochistan constitutional package is about to come 9. Northern Area is not only been given a name "Gilgit-Baltistan" but has been empowered according to the demand of its people and inshallah we will win the war in North Wazirastan very soon
I think this is ok for the time being but would bring some more achievements if need so.

While he should not have been banned as it impinges on his freedom of speech….
I am not going to miss him because his show was about nothing about but: populist statements which may as well have come from our politicians, poetic sermons about our hukmaraan, speculations, fearmongering and gossip – all of which are of zero value to the nation.
In an ideal world, his show would have dropped in ratings and been thrown out the door. However, Pakistan's masses who are instilled with fear and increasingly despondent sitting at home were, unfortunately, susceptible to his views.
Those pessimistic amongst us would point out his views are still better than the views of hardline islamists…true…
On the flip side, given that he is assigned an important time slot on the most watched private television network in Pakistan, I think he could have performed his duty to the nation far better…
mir munsif said:
@Ali Q,
Is it too early to consider it is banned,since,his prg airs on weekend,not on working days,its too early to cry tactic of Geo to tear crocidile tears.
To know better Dr SM,one can see Dr SM's Nobel statments full of Lies and back firing on Jawab Dah Prg on geo,check the link I mentioned above.
Quwat Khan Sunny said:
Good Job, this fake doctor was in a personal war since he came back to GEO. His subject matter was nothing but Zardari. Although, I firmly believe Zardari should be prosecuted as he has been indulging in many crupt activities. But what Dr. Masood was doing with Musharaf, the chief engineer of NRO, at Dinner in Karachi? Of course a good friend with a good friend!
Why Dr. Shahid left GEO and join PTV? Of course a good friend for good friend
All these people befooling the Jazbati Pakistanies like us. People die, fight with their brothers, risk their lives to cast their vote. But when the election is over. People like rise up to sweep the road for Establishment and Oposition to overthrow the government.
Heshould be allowed to do the program from Pakistan so that he be able to bring in some different topic as well.
I hate when he starts, " Mulk mey bey Cheni hay" " Mulk Nazuk Dawer say Guzar raha hay"
Arey bhai ye bat to 20 sal pehley be kaha jata tha. Pakistan K Ravi ney kab chain hi chain likha hay.
If there is 30% unrest in the country, Shahid Masood adds up 40%.

The nation welcomes the [alleged] ban on Dr Shahid Masood's hate speech show "Meray Mutabiq". OR Is it a publicity stunt by the Mullah Media Alliance?

Funny isn't it that we saw the same "Meray Mutabiq" at 2300 hours dated 23-11-2009 by Dr Shahid Masood on the same GEO TV [Former Chief Executive of ARY One World TV, then Anchor Person GEO TV, then MD/Chairman of State run Pakistan Televison [appointed by Mr. Asif Ali Zardari - President of Pakistan] and then again the same GEO TV. Dr Shahid Masood and Jang Group of Newspapers often pull popular stunt to gain cheap popularity.[that is why Dr Shahid often write Urdu Columns because human memory is weak] One wonder which version of Shahid Masood and Jang are to be trusted? the one who started his career in ARY ONE World - Views on News, the one who used to exploit Pakistanis on Meray Mutabiq on GEO TV, or the one who joined PTV and Prime Minister Secretariat as the Advisor to PM or the one who again joined Jang Group of Newspapers and GEO TV's Meray Mutabiq [AIK BAR PHIR - ONCE AGAIN] 'revealing' that he is dismantled by the government, I wonder after so many somersaults [for earning quick bucks], does even the inept PPP Government need a Zionist Conspiracy to dismantle this comedian, Dr Shahid Masood? One wonders that when Dr Shahid Masood knew everything bad about Asif Ali Zardari & Co then why did he join the PPP Cabinet, he also accepted the post of MD PTV and then again quit PTV and that too when his pay package was discussed [Watch the details of Dr Shahid's fraud in the videos given in the link with the news filed by the very Jang Group on Dr Shahid Masood]in National Assembly and Senate he filed this story in The News International about Ansar Abbasi and rejoined GEO TV again.

One thing is forgotten by Mr Muhammad Ahmad Noorani that Dr. Shahid Masood [GEO TV] was once affiliated with ARY One World, as its senior executive director and was the chief of ARY One World conducting the show Views On News on ARY. HAJI ARY has huge business stakes in UAE and have close links with UAE GOVERNMENT.

Though I don't like SM since he has quit PTV and it is crystal clear that he is just ventillating his own frustration and grudge against current PPP led government. But PPP government should not ban anyone (even SM)! Now I don't know whether he is really banned or its just a cheap tactic by GEO network to gain popularity! But in anyways Government shouls come clean.
By the way I want to ask one question and would appreciate if some one could help me out here. All over media, different people are demanding the resignation from ministers whose names are given in the NRO List. They are arguing that since they are holding a public office, even if they are not yet convicted just accused, accusation is enough reason for them to voluntarily resign from Public office.
Now I want to ask that why this "Moral principle" has only surfaced after Government has disclosed NRO list. Is there no case of corruption and other criminal activities against Nawaz sharif or Shahbaz Sharif? Is SS not holding Public office? If there are accusations against SS and other PMLN leader who are governing Punjab, then why no one has even hinted that they should resign!? When this hypocricy and double standards are going to end in Pakistan?
I am of the opinion that morally who ever (I repeat Who ever) is accused of anything he should face the trial. And free and fair courts should decide to plead him guilty or otherwise.

voluntarily resign from Public office. [FU]
Dear Sir,
Why should they resign? When somebody blames someone then the accuser should provide evidence or keep his mouth shut.

"I know you are very angry with me for the excesses I committed against you, but I ask your forgiveness," Saifur Rehman said as he entered the Accountability Court I in Rawalpindi, where Mr Zardari was sitting, surrounded by friends and newsmen, after a hearing in the Pakistan Steel Mills reference.

@Aamir Mughal
I have no problem if they don't resign neither I am demanding resignation. My position is this which I mentioned above in the last sentence of my post.
"I am of the opinion that morally who ever (I repeat Who ever) is accused of anything he should face the trial. And free and fair courts should decide to plead him guilty or otherwise."
I was just quoting the different persons on media who are demanding resignation from those who are part of NRO List.
PS: I hope some one can answer the question I have raised in my above post about accusations of corruption, money laundering, and extra-judicial killings against the public office holders of PMLN.

I welcum this great action against Shahid Masood who ruin our weekend by his speciallity of barking. their needs are not more acceptable becuase now President Asif Zardari is in powerfull and agressive position and this is the best effort of President to answer them aggresively to write against him. Masses are fed up of all these PTUJ members and they all gonna be banned soon i agree with Mr Jarri . Crying moment for JEW(geo) because their special agent is banned and celebrating moment for Pakistani masses .

I think all these kinds of talk show should be banned, who only knew how to use the emotions of innocent people of Pakistan who blindly Believe on their filmi style of journalism.

@Fahim: Thanks for visiting. Regarding your question, my friend, there are two different set of rules in the 'land of the pure', one for the ppp and other for the 'other lot' including pml-n. As long as ppp is the party of the people, establishment (military, bureaucracy, judiciary, media, mullahs) will keep applying unilateral laws and principles on this party. All others will be exempt, of course.

@Rabia, Personally I don't agree with this ban if (as you and sherry noted) any such ban exists, and is not yet another of this cheap daktar's cheap stunts. In my view, such ban should be implemented through a court of law not through an executive order.

Dear Abdul,
Lets assume that it is a ban [imposed by Zardari's alleged machination] then why the Jang Group/The News haven't mentioned it in their editorial. Daily Times haven't even reported it, nor does Dawn....There is something else going on

I agree Abdul...Ban will provide them chance for their "Randi Ronaa"
They will gain sympathies ass were loosing their credibility through their malicious cmpaigns...Ban will be a sort of revival for them.Let the barking ......
Aamir has a good point...this ban episode is part of the drama...when the show will telecast par schedule at the weekend...they will talk loudly with...Shadeed Awami dabao par Zardari paspaa....
After all if they have joined hands with the hidden hands...they will come to save their stooges

Dear Abdul,
Could i request you to change the heading of your post. Knowing SM, I am positive that its Topi Drama to get sympathies. Did you notice that even the media people were disassociating themselves from SS and SM. PLEASE EXPOSE THIS DRAMA, do not accept it as a ban

Jang group's editorial is not reporting (alledged) ban on Meray Mutabiq as a news, they are reporting it what Shahid Masood told - see today's The News
'Its host, Dr Shahid Masood, has told viewers of Geo News that he is now broadcasting the programme, without studio support, from a secret location. He has spoken too of threats made by PPP members, warning him that he would be dealt with in no uncertain terms if he returned to Pakistan. '

Sorry, no etymologies found.
In popular language the term pessimist is applied to persons who habitually take a melancholy view of life, to whom painful experiences appeal with great intensity, and who have little corresponding appreciation of pleasurable ones.
I think that a pessimist is a curse to any country, for after all, any fool can preach the gospel of
One petroleum engineer -- Michael Economides of the University of Houston -- calls peak oil predictions "the figments of the imaginations of born-again pessimist geologists."
Before five minutes are up, the pessimist is screaming and wailing in his room.
And, you know, as I said, as a long-term pessimist, I'm looking at this and thinking maybe this is a point where everybody is tired of all the death and killing.
Ms. O'TOOLE: Well, I have -- I-- I finally figured out that I'm a short-term pessimist and a long-term optimist.
A true Christian is a short term pessimist but a long term optimist.
I don't remember the name of the great Frenchman, but he was a man of perception who said that the optimist lives in the world, and the pessimist is only a spectator.
There is nothing for it except to be a "short-term pessimist" i.e. to keep out of politics, make a sort of oasis within which you and your friends can remain sane, and hope that somehow things will be better in a hundred years.
He is often called a pessimist, for his "heavy sadness of disillusion"; but he is never bitter.

Ahou-a! C'est le cri d'un robot souffrant d'amour, ahou-a!
Ahou-a! Même sans ses larmes il pleure toujours, Ahou-a!
[...] fuckin' unbelievable ma bande de putes négres, du classique de chez le classique sa race, can't believe this dope was made in the 80s (si ce n'est les paroles trampées de blanche de bolivie de trés mauvaise gamme qui situent ce morceau dans son époque).
Mais l'amour n'a pas de règles
Ça reste le même dans les siècles
La nuit je ne ronfle pas
Et le matin mon haleine n'est pas mauvaise
hahahahahaha !!!!!!! fucked up les paroles i'm telling you.
à propos de "Problémes d'Amour", voici ce qu'en pense son auteur : "Giampiero, the head of Materiali Sonori, pushed me to make some disco music, because we were both broke. «We can make easy money with disco music», he said to me. «Just put a bass drum in four/four and you sell 10.000 copies!» So I worked on a disco track with my cheap electronic equipment. The track was "Problèmes d'Amour". Anyway, I was disappointed by the results of "Problèmes". We sold just 10.000 copies, so it was the minimum figure, as I said above. And I started to be involved in different things. But some years later I understood that the track had an impressive influence on dance music and it was a cult track for some DJs. In the end it's better like this. It's not bad to have a song that is still relevant for the scene."
you fuckin' bet it le rital, it is definitely more than relevant for the scene. [...]

Central Oregon Hunting Report 4/01/09
by ODFW
OPEN: Cougar, coyote
Don't forget to report your hunt results. Anyone who purchases a big game or turkey tag must report hunt results online or by phone. Reporting is required even if you did not fill your tag or go hunting. More information.
Remember there is a youth (age 17 and under) TURKEY hunt April 11-12; see the Game Bird Regulations for more details. General spring turkey season opens April 15. See this PDF online brochure for more information about turkey hunting in Oregon.
Snow accumulations are receding, but drifts are present at mid and high elevations blocking some roads across the Ochoco National Forest. Outdoor enthusiasts should be prepared for rapidly changing weather and be equipped for difficult driving. Dress and be equipped to for walking and/or driving through everything from dry surfaces, to mud and snow. Deer, elk and pronghorn are moving to higher elevations as the spring thaw progresses.
COUGARS are tied to deer, elk, and pronghorn and will be following dispersing animals as they move to higher elevations. Remember cougars must be checked in at an ODFW office within 10 days after harvest; please bring them in thawed and with mouths propped open for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.
TURKEY hunters scouting hunting areas are reminded to consult with local BLM and Ochoco National Forest offices regarding access as motorized access may be restricted to avoid soil damage and to protect wildlife habitat.
COYOTE are plentiful throughout the district, but the Maury and Ochoco units offer better opportunities on public land. Hunters should scout at lower elevations for concentrations of deer or pronghorn as coyotes will likely be present as well.
GROUND SQUIRRELS are active in hay fields and pastures. The best hunting will be on private lands, particularly along the Crooked River between Prineville and Paulina. Having permission from landowners is a must before hunting.
The LOWER DESCHUTES WILDLIFE AREA is accepting comments on its draft management plan through April 17, 2009. More information. For hunters wishing to pursue COUGAR, the best opportunity will in areas where deer and elk are congregating. One of the better areas is generally around White River Wildlife area, where both deer and elk are present in fair numbers. As spring conditions continue to show themselves, deer and elk are spending more time on open hillsides taking advantage of green-up. Cougar will be in close proximity. Successful cougar hunters, remember check-in is mandatory; please bring them in thawed and with mouths propped open for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.
Those wishing to pursue COYOTE will find the best success near agricultural lands. Be sure to ask permission to hunt private lands. Limited opportunities may also be found at White River Wildlife area.
California Ground SQUIRRELS, or gray diggers, start to come out of hibernation this time of year as temperatures start to increase. The best time of the day to find active squirrels is in the afternoon, when temperatures are the warmest. Make sure to ask permission to hunt on private lands.
Now is a good time to begin scouting TURKEYS as they will move out of wintering areas with increasing temperatures. Finding areas the birds are using now may improve hunter success when April rolls around. Remember there is a youth (age 17 and under) hunt April 11-12; see the Game Bird Regulations for more details.
COYOTE and COUGAR hunters can find success in open areas along the eastern perimeter of the wildlife area. Please take caution to reduce disturbances to wintering wildlife in the area. Remember cougars must be checked in at an ODFW office within 10 days after harvest; please bring them in thawed and with mouths propped open for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.

Auchterarder in the 1790s - home to the Ryder Cup in 2014 at its Gleneagles Golf Club !
The name Auchterarder means " the summit of the rising ground " Apart from the town of that name it applies also to the parish which was formed when it joined with its neighbour to the east , Aberuthven in the 16th Century .
The main rivers in the parish are the Earn and the smaller Ruthven , In the 18th century there were some 11 mills powered by the waters of the Ruthven and made it a vital part of the economy of the parish , From an early date the stone built houses were roofed by a grey local slate which was noted for both for its appearance and its durability .
Although the carrying out surveys and obtaining accurate census statistics did not start until 1801( with the detailed census from 1841 ) , we have available figures from a survey carried out by Dr Webster in the 1770s He calculated that there some 1194 persons in the parish . By the 1790s this had increased to a total of 1670 souls with 805 males and 865 females .The split down between town and village and rural living showed that there were 798 residing in Auchterarder town , Borland Park and Miltown with 878 in country locations . In the period prior to the introduction of Statutory Registration in January 1855 , parishes relied on individuals submitting particulars of births , baptisms , marriage , banns and deaths to the Parish Clerk of the Established church – namely the Presbyterian Church of Scotland . With the surge in the number of breakaway bodies after the first secession in the 1730s , many people ignored recording events . The situation was exacerbated by the introduction of a levy or tax on each entry . Would be genealogists and family tree researchers should realise that the further back one goes the thinner is the availability of recorded information . For some strange reason we find that not only in Auchterarder but throughout Scotlands some 940 parishes deaths and burials failed to be recorded in any appreciable numbers .
The First Statistical Account tells us that in 1791 Auchterarder Parish , the four main land owners did not reside within the parish , a situation that was sadly replicated throughout most of rural Scotland . The parish recorded farmers and " occupiers of land " as numbering 81 with some 49 weavers ( probably of the hand loom variety ) and surprisingly 78 " mechanics " ! As this was in the pre motor and engine era I can only assume that these guys were employed working on the machinery that was in place in the 11 mills that had been built on the Water of Ruthven. This period of time was very much when farming was labour intensive with comparatively small units compared with the modern era . The Account for Auchterarder lists 109 male servants ( farm workers ) and some 120 female servants . The women were in probability employed as domestics , dairy maids and field workers .
Religion was always an important aspect of life in 18th and 19th Century Scotland . These Statistical Accounts covered all of Scotland's 940 plus parishes and were , by and large , written by the Parish Minister , that is the incumbent minister of the Established Presbyterian Church of Scotland . Much strife and dissension occurred throughout the land . In particular there was a great deal of disagreement with regard to the manner in which the Church was or a should be governed . There were numerous " secessions " and breakaway bodies set up their own kirks/ churches quite often in close proximity to the original one . These disputes were often as not over what would be described in modern eyes as somewhat trivial matters . In Auchterarder in the 1730s things were blown sky high over what was called The Marrow of Modern Divinity . This was a pamphlet published and distributed within the Kirk . What got up the gullet of many of the traditionalists was its advocacy of the belief that one could " come to Christ without foregoing one's sin " amongst a host of similar teachings . The Auchterarder congregation were looking for a new minister and examined one William Craig . Craig had read and believed in the content of the " Marrow" pamphlet but was asked to deny its principles before becoming licensed and to sign up a loosely drawn up statement . Because he refused to subscribe to this statement, William Craig was denied licensure to the ministry and the matter came to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland for resolution. The statement under question became known as "The Auchterarder Creed" and after being discussed at length in the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland was adopted thus accelerating a large exodus of members known as Seceders who established their own Church .
In Auchterarder by the time of the first Statistical Account we are told " The number of souls in the Established Church is 1176 and of Seceders including those of the Relief population 492 . There are only 2 Episcopalians . "
It is always interesting to know what things were really like in those far off days . The benefit of the Accounts is that we can get an accurate picture of the conditions under which our ancestors lived and worked all those years ago . The arable economy of Auchterarder in the late 18th century was based on crops such as wheat , oats , barley , peas , hay , potatoes and turnip . Although tree plantations or woodlands did not exist in any number , there were numerous examples of fir , oak , ash , elm , beech , alder , birch and elder scattered throughout the parish . The countryside was populated by hares , partridges , otters , polecats and foxes . It would appear that in the 18th century the rabbit was not the main occupant of the rural terrain !
The small farms that were scattered throughout the parish followed a similar routine and grew peas , lint seed ( flax ) and potatoes .It was interesting to note that the turnip was becoming a popular root crop amongst many farmers whilst invariably grass pasture is sown and cut eventually as hay . Although some wheat is sown the majority of farmers sow barley which appears to be more suited to the area .To the west of the village of Auchterarder there lies some 200 acres of common land known as the Moor of Auchterarder . Here cattle are grazed . In addition there is common land on the Hill of Foswell , part of the Ochils .
In the late 18th century there were 4 corn mills, 3 lint mills, a paper mill , 2 oil mills and a fulling mill located on the Ruthven Water and the author of the Statistical Account noted that it was of great significance that the main road from the Perth and Aberdeen and the " east country " to the north , came through the parish giving access to Stirling and Glasgow .
One of the problems facing Auchterarder village in the late 18th century was a laclk of regular fresh water . Apparently the river ran dry in the summer and despite sinking of wells , the problem remained . It was hoped to lay wooden pipes from the fountain source a distance of some 2 miles but this was deemed an unaffordable burden .
The Account provides us with details regarding the cost of food at that time and the wages that were being paid . Farm labourers in the summer were paid one shilling a day ( some 5 pence in current currency ) and in winter ten old pence or approximately 4 pence in current currency . Masons and carpenters as skilled tradesmen got a higher daily wage . The former 1/6 a day or 7.5 pence new and the latter 1/ 2 or 6 pence new .
The First Statistical Account is a superb example of social history .. The Auchterarder account , written by the local minister , paints a real picture of the state of the parish some 212 years ago in the period prior to the upsets of the Napoleonic Wars . There is a detailed account of life and economic existence for a typical family in Auchterarder . Note that the example given states that there are some 7 children in the household . Although families did tend to be much larger than in this present era , do remember that there was a high level of infant and child mortality which often reduced the number of dependents quite dramatically . In the example below I have altered the original pounds , shillings and pence to modern sterling to facilitate understanding .
Year : 1791
Statement of the annual Income and expenditure of a Day – labourer ( farm worker ) in the Parish of Auchterarder who has a wife and seven children , the oldest of which is a girl 13 years of age and the second a boy who tended cattle last season . Along with his dwelling house he rents an acre of land .
Income : The father of the family has 5 pence a day of wages for 8 months in the year and 4 pence a day for the remaining 4 months .Deducting 43 days for Sundays ,holidays and bad weather from the summer months and 30 days on the same account from the winter months he gains during the whole year : £ 13.85
The mother with the assistance of her eldest girl , in the management of her family , earns by spinning 7.5 pence a week which is in a year £ 3.90
The eldest boy earned by tending cattle £ 0.90
The acre of land produced last year 6 firlots of oats @ £0.68
the boll £1. 00
4 bolls of barley £2.80
6 bolls and a firlot of potatoes £ 1. 30

Total income £ 24.11
Expenses: Rent of his house and land £3.00 and expenses
of food and management £1.25 £ 4.25
Fuel and 8 bolls and a firlot of oatmeal £7.41
4 bolls of barley meal £1. 87
Father's clothes ( shirt , shoes , stockings bonnet and
Handkerchief ) £1. 12

Whisky , small beer and wheaten bread ay New Year £ 0.17
Family consumes the potatoes the land produces £1.3
Grass to the cow and straw in winter £ 0. 82
Total Expenses £24.00
The above clearly shows how tight was the rural family's budget with little between solvency and poverty and the small amount of rented land and the ability to keep a cow was very important to basic survival .
In 1791 in Auchterarder there were 13 persons on Poor Relief who received a weekly allowance through the church . Others received occasional charity hand outs to keep them off the poverty level . It was stated in the Account that the value of the stipend ( the minister's salary ) was £ 90 which included money from the " glebe " or ground attached to the manse which was often let for grazing .
At the time of the Account Auchterarder was the main village / town in the parish . It had once been a Royal Burgh and sent a member of Parliament to Edinburgh . Many of the houses were burgage properties where the right of rental belonged to the monarch .At this time the main street was about a mile long with about 100 houses many of which had been recently rebuilt .
Four Fairs were held each year with an annual cattle Tryst where the black cattle from the Highlands were sold . It stated that the current population ( 1791 ) was 594 but increasing with several new houses having been built .Apart from the Established Church ( of Scotland ) there was a Relief Kirk ( one of the churches which had broken away from the main Kirk ) . The account narrates in some detail the state of industry in the town :
"About twenty years ago ( 1770 ) a considerable manufacture of yarn and narrow linen cloth was carried on in Auchterarder . It was fold bleached and unbleached a nd sent to Glasgow . This trade is in great measure extinct .Sale linens are still manufactured in the town and neighbourhood ; and linen of a fabric peculiar to the place , and which goes by its name . At a little distance from Auchterarder is a village called the Borland Park , built by Government for the accommodation of soldiers who were disbanded after the war of 1763 and contains a 140 inhabitants who are mostly weavers . Most of the soldiers who were planted in it , left very soon afterwards although the terms of their settlement were very advantageous , either from dislike to the place or more probably to their new mode of life . On the south of Auchterarder and along the side of the Ruthven is Miltown a small village containing 64 inhabitants . here there is a distillery consisting of two , 40 gallon stills ."
There is mention in the Account of some of the antiquties found within the parish . Auchterarder . To the north of the town lies the old Castle of Auchterarder which served as the hunting seat of Malcolm Canmore . Sadly the account tells us that the farmer was allowed to use the stones of the castle to construct a new farm house . North of the castle lies the old parish church which is pre Reformation and was known as St Mungo's Chapel . The burial ground was for many years the old church yard .
The author of this intriguing Account , the Rev Andrew Duncan reveals a degree of knowledge with regard to the nature of spinning and weaving within the parish .He states " were the two handed spinning wheel more generally used it would probably contribute in some measure to better the circumstances of the lower class of people as well as to increase the materials of the linen manufacture . There are but one or two such wheels in this parish and it is but little used in many parts of the country . It might also be for the interests of the lower class of people , and especially the women , were they more employed than they are , in manufactures for which they are qualified .The great demand for men for all kinds of work has raised their wages to an exorbitant height ; while in this part of the country , at least , the wages of female servants are barely sufficient to support them when in health . They cannot afford to set aside any provision for sickness or old age , without the utmost parsimony . Nevertheless everybody is now decently and comfortably clothed , which was perhaps not the case then and there is now four times the quantity of butcher meat used .There is now a baker in the village ."

The day has finally arrived! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed baby number two, and North finally has a brother! Kardashian announced the arrival of her newest baby boy on Saturday, Dec. 5. Though baby Yeezus reportedly wasn't due until Christmas (that is, according to E!), it looks like Kardashian knew he was going to come early. She posted a baby bump photo to Twitter on Friday night, saying, "Ready whenever you are lol." But, now that baby Yeezus number two is here, where are the photos?
Unfortunately, pictures of the newest West have not yet been released — but Kardashian did let the world know that "he's here!" via her sweet Twitter photo.
SEE ALSO: North West Doesn't Like Her New Baby Brother
It's possible that the couple will wait a while to release any pics of their new son, as celebs often do. One thing's for sure though, Kanye won't be debuting his son's first photo on Kris Jenner's talk show, like he did for North, since it's not around anymore. Given that the family has a pretty successful (understatement of the year) reality show, maybe Keeping Up With The Kardashians will be the best place for baby Yeezus number two's official debut? (That, or, like, Vogue.)
Hopefully, we won't have to wait forever. I can only imagine that the new baby is just as adorable (and already probably just as well dressed — which is to say 100,000 times better dressed than I am) as North. So, welcome baby West! Glad to have you in this world.

Obviously, I will need to cut some background fabric to fill in the blank spaces around the star, but I think I've found a use for the remaining HST units.
I'm still playing with the idea, but I like where this is heading. Not certain that some of those HST will stay on the quilt front, but I have no problem making new HST units and shuffling the less workable ones to the back, if I need to.
Looks like I may have a possible start for a baby quilt! Perfect timing too, as a lovely young couple we know from work, are expecting their first child (and they're having a girl). I'll keep "star gazing" and see if I can make a pretty quilt from these.
