LOL, those are pretty strange! I found your blog through SSF and I think its really fun, sometimes it makes me want to restart my own long-dead blog (which died in the Summer of 2006 when I went on a six week trip to Karachi and couldn't get past the blog censors in PK).

Laura, I cannot imagine going to blogger. I READ a totally different set of blogs that the kind I write! I would never fit in, and they'd all think the "gori" meant I liked horror movies or something. But I would love to find out how to work full time just by blogging a la Dooce and Amalah.

Hello there,
Thanks for checking out my blog! I have to say reading the name 'TheGoriWife' certainly made me chuckle. I also find the concept of your blog very interesting, and am pleased that you are sharing your experiences with the world.
Pakistan is indeed a very rich and beautiful country. My family hail from a village in Lahore and I found visiting quite a challenge...But I do love the food there. There's nothing like a plate of haleem or channeh off the streets!
Tomorrow I will be making something very special and will post it online asap. Hope you enjoy it!

I think your selling yourself short on the whole Blogher thing! I think you'd fit in very well... have you ever been to Blogher's website? They support women who write all kinds of blogs, not just mommy blogs. It seems like an amazing experience, and think of all the networking and educating you could do there!
Also, if you'd like thousands for writing about your life, Blogher seems like the place to start... that's where they all are!

Keeping forests healthy with more active management
Mike Eckhof
Exactly a decade later and the current wildfire season is on track to surpass 2002 as Colorado's worst. The High Park fire alone burned nearly 90,000 acres and cost $33.5 million in suppression costs alone.
We are still reactively managing our forests for fire instead of proactively managing them for sustainable health.
Spending large sums for fire management is not new. In 1991, the U.S. Forest Service spent about 13 percent of its budget on fire suppression activities. Now, it spends nearly half, meaning agencies have been forced to spend more on fire suppression and less on recreation, wildlife and timber management.
There are reasons for this shift. Fire suppression is more complex and more expensive because more people than ever live in and around our forests.
Fire seasons have become longer and more intense as the climate has been warmer and drier. Much of our forests are unhealthy after a century of fire suppression and other human impacts.
Since Colorado forests evolved with fire, natural fire cycle disruptions allow many of the smaller, weaker trees and dense underbrush to thrive.
As a result, forests are
More breaking news...
The short answer is

Two parts:
1. Determine NEAR TERM practical demands to be addressed to the U.S. Congress:
These should be goals that are meaningful and can be realistically achieved as enacted legislation before the Nov2012 election. Goals should be both widely acceptable in terms of public/electoral appeal and should also advance the cause of our movement. We are challenging our representatives to represent us by introducing and passing legislation before the next election. THEY SHOULD BE WORKABLE, NOT UTOPIAN.
Here are my suggestions, mainly as examples:
(a) Democracy is priceless: A constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United ruling, specifying that the right to campaign and support campaigns is a right of human individuals and does not extend to for-profit corporations, and limiting the total spending by any person.
(b) Restore the Fairness Doctrine in FCC licensed broadcast media, as a requirement for licensure for stewardship of the public airwaves.
(c) Reinstate Glass-Steagall banking regulations (so basic, yet the financial industry has successfully fought this.) Require that any failed financial institutions be nationalized and executive bonuses and compensation clawed-back.
(d) Require that states and local governments receiving federal funds respect the right to protest including by means of encampments, or be subject to withholding of funds. (This should be so basic as to be unnecesary, only we've seen that it isn't in a number of places....)
(e) New-Deal style infrastructure-building employment programs. (Our infrastructure is decrepit, and this worked during the last depression.)
The goals selected should be reduced to proposed legislation, which is kept as SIMPLE AND CONCISE as possible, and should be crafted by people with legal/legislative experience. We challenge the U.S. Congress to vote on this legislation, with the "encouragement" outlined in (2) below. These are NOT LONG-TERM OVERARCHING GOALS, but will enable us to focus our energies on working towards our ultimate goals in the longer time-frame.
2. Run Occupy Movement supported candidates in the primaries of BOTH parties for U.S. Congress.
Candidates should be people who have been registered with these parties before OWS came about. These will NOT become our leaders but WILL represent the movement's message in the election and challenge leading candidates (e.g. in debates) to take specific positions on issues of concern to the movement and ideally make or decline to make specific commitments to introduce and support the legislation arrived at in (1) above. The objective is not to necessarily win congressional seats (it would be a mistake to become another Tea-Party), but to challenge candidates to address our concerns, shift the debate and also to either shift the positions of the candidates or to force them to show their constituents very explicitly where their loyalties lie at the time it most matters.
In California, time remains but is limited to file for candidacy. Occupies in every state should be checking on their filing deadlines and requirements (e.g. their Secretary of State website.)
A few comments:
It is not being suggested that this is the only thing that Occupy focuses on, but rather one avenue that is available to us. The Reform versus Revolution debate is a false dichotomy.
Read the Declaration of Independence...that listed a litany of efforts that were made to obtain redress of basic injustices over the preceding years, and that none of the available channels proved adequate; that was the groundwork. Right now, it's 1765 or 1773, not 1776, if anything like a revolution is the only solution. The case for revolution becomes stronger when reform has been shown to be futile, and the case for established power to admit reforms becomes more compelling when faced with that alternative.
At other points in history, (esp. e.g. the Civil Rights movement) it was the interplay of both reform and radical movements the led to what was achieved: it became clear that the alternatives were not reform or no-reform, but reform or serious civil conflict. Without either one, it's unlikely that the established structures of power would have responded at all. Of course, the limits and insufficiency of what was achieved in Civil Rights reforms suggests that while reform is likely necessary, it's also likely insufficient, so even though it's something we likely have to do, we also need to maintain and build a movement that aims and goes beyond simple reforms.
Pursued correctly, we can build a better, stronger movement this way, that will be seen as directly and effectively pursuing clearly articulated goals, and therefore can gain the support and involvement of those waiting on the sidelines to see if we're more than spectacle.

Over a month later, and still the man who gunned down a child roams free…and our legal system does nothing. For at any given moment, when I think about my little brother, who looks exactly like Trayvon, I tremble in fear at the thought of someone gunning him down because of the color of his skin. And when I think of all the many people and pressures that have already tried to destroy us because of this…all the other Trayvons whose wrongful death's have been–are still being–swept under the rug–I can think only how sometimes the injustice in this world is too much to be believed.
What can we do to not let the disillusionment and pain, the anger and frustration, eat away and destroy us?
Please read the article I wrote to find out more on Trayvon's wrongful death….it's what I could do, to begin.

Is one of your plans for 2013 to retire where your retirement income will stretch the furthest? Or are you just beginning to scout out retirement options?
In any case, you might well want to check out one or more of the most highly recommended "retirement havens" around the world. And most of them can also be pretty good places to visit, even if you have no idea about retirement yet.
For years, International Living, a specialized newsletter-plus-data bank devoted to expatriate life, has been the "go-to" source of information on overseas retirement. Among its many publications is an annual "quality of life" index, an attempt to quantify the most important factors for potential expats and combine
This year's report, covering 22 "top retirement destinations," has just been issued:
The lowest scores go to Brazil, Chile, Honduras, Belize and the Dominican Republic, although International Living considers
International Living notes that its scores are based on a combination of hard cost data and personal reports from expats. The report does not specifically mention the availability
Obviously, for many Americans, health would be the biggest roadblock to foreign retirement. Medicare does not cover medical and drug payments outside the United States, and giving up that benefit could be another deal-breaker. Sure, you'll find plenty of places outside the United States with top-notch medical services at reasonable prices -- just look at the huge medical tourism market -- but you'll still have to pay.
Ease of access back to the United States is also a big consideration. You may plan to return regularly, want to be able to return for medical necessity, or you may want to locate someplace where your family and friends can easily visit you. Obviously, Central American and Mexican locations score better for access than those in Asia, Europe or South America.
Regardless of your age or interests, I strongly recommend an extended visit to any country you might even consider as a retirement venue before you make a final choice. If possible, stay in a rental rather than in a hotel, and stay long enough to get the feel of being a resident. In the meantime, start with a long look at the International Living scores (http://internationalliving.com; 800-681-2402), as well as the most recent AARP report (search for "retire abroad" on the website, www.aarp.org). And if you're really serious about it, you can't go wrong with a subscription to International Living.

D-Spec Wide Extra Range Adjustable Shocks
TOKICO's D-Spec Series adjustable shock is a multi-use product
that's the result of sophisticated piston and valving design. In
addition, it utilizes a unique variable-aperture bypass, which is
controlled by an adjustable slide valve.
D-Spec (damping specific) adjustments change both rebound and
compression damping simultaneously. Between maximum soft and hard
settings, the D-Spec is infinitely adjustable. For more information
and to view the damping graph full size, click here.
D-Spec shocks and struts are sold in sets of four. Each set
includes a manual explaining the adjustment process as well as
covering suspension tuning tips.
Also available are the D-Spec Extension Cables, which allow you to attach to the rear shocks before installation, and route the cables to an area reachable (such as the trunk) to make rear adjustments on the fly, rather than tearing down the vehicle to reach the rear shocks.

It might not have been pretty, or particularly manly (whatever that is), but it'll stick. It's important to be effective. Getting thrown out of a ball game is a one news cycle story because of KG's stature. Charlie doesn't have any stature. He used the "media" to get his story out. Look at all the buzz. Columns being written by national sportswriters. Let me try my hand at writing one: "Aurora. Read all about it! Read all about it! KG is a insensitive bully who is stupid too, instead of that All-Star alpha male with that hot aggressive drive you've been swooning over for years..." Hey...I GOT THE STORY. Thanks Charlie. Twitter was the smart move. That's why everyone is so mad about it. If KG can get "outed" for being a "bad person", so can anyone else between the lines or outside of them. Wow it's kind of like being a real person, accountable for your actions and your words.
Jalen Rose claimed, as did most players, that his trash talk was almost always worse than what KG said.
There are different types of trash talk. Ripping on someone's game is one thing. Making fun of someones' family, race, health, or other personal matter takes it to a different level. People have to be held accountable for what comes out of their mouth. I agree with Aurora and Rascoe. I think it is great that KG got ratted out for being an ass. He is the one that needs to man up.
How is this even possible? The next step is something in line with taunting a player for having a terminally ill wife or diseased kid. And even if this was one of the tricks up his sleeve there has to be enough players unlucky enough to have personal tragedies of this magnitude to make it possible at all. This exaggeration from his side is just a way to show he is on KG:s side in the same way kids who don't like a movie someone else is praising shows it by saying it was the worst movie they ever saw. I'm calling this bluff! (and I have in fact made a living by playing online poker while studying)
When was Charlie V diagnosed with cancer? Doc Rivers was quoted as saying "Larry Bird said some things to me that really hurt, they still hurt, but you move on. When I was in HS a guy on my team was taunting twins from our rival HS because their mom killed herself. I'm not saying it is right, just that it happened.
Looks like we can finally put this thing to rest. Nothing going on here. Anyone else find it interesting that not one Piston player or coach has backed up CCG's claim? Celtics' Kevin Garnett: Pistons' Charlie Villanueva is 'a nobody' | MLive.com
What is even more interesting about cancergate is that I don't think there was one story in the Detroit papers/MLive that had anything but the Twitter feed in it. This is in the hometown of the victim and there wasn't one story or column with a direct quote from CCG or his teammates. That doesn't seem right to me. There were other columns written that day, but nothing on such a hot button topic in the city where it supposedly happened.
If I was Charlie, I'd get on the horn With Sam Bernstein and threaten legal action. If Sam's busy make sure the smart looking kid gets it.

"Normally in the past the board has interviewed candidates for administrative positions," explained Board Chairperson Lisa McKissick.

DOBSON — Cassidy Joyner reached 1,000 career points during a third-quarter run that propelled the Lady Eagles over Mount Airy 70-56.
The Lady Bears scored a couple of times early in the third quarter and were just six points behind when Surry Central ran off six straight points, part of an 18-9 push through the rest of the period.
In the first quarter, Mount Airy took a 12-8 lead as Surry Central missed some inside shots early.
Central's Brittany Lewis came off the bench to score a couple of baskets as the Eagles pulled in front 17-14 after one. She hit a third shot to open the second quarter, and the Eagles went up 24-16.
Kathryn Beasley gave the Bears a lift with her outside shooting. She hit two threes and a couple of long two-point jumpers, providing 12 points.
Still, the Eagles held a 32-28 lead at the break.
Joyner hit two three-pointers and a couple of inside shots for 10 points in the first half. She came into the game 16 points shy of the 1,000-point plateau.
Her teammates were keeping track of it and were running plays to try to get her good looks, said Central Coach Mandy Holt. Joyner wasn't forcing anything, but taking what they were giving her.
Her shot from the left side gave the Eagles a 45-34 lead with about three minutes left in the third quarter.
The game was paused so that she could be presented with a game ball.
The Bears scored twice after that intermission, but the Eagles finished the quarter on an 8-0 run for a 55-40 lead.
The fourth quarter featured a steady parade to the foul line for both teams. At one point, the lead was 20 at 68-48, but the Bears kept scrapping and ran off eight straight points, but the time ran out.
Mount Airy Coach Howard Mayo said the team has to do a better job of making teams pay for fouling.
"We did what we wanted to do, but you've got to step up and make the shots," he said. "Nine out of 25 isn't going to cut it."
Beasley led the Bears with 21 points, followed by Mikayla Seivers 11, Davi Barbour seven, Ayano Shelton five, Andi Moore four, and two each from Jasmine Varney and Dana Brown.
Forward Symone Simmons gave the Bears a good presence on the boards with 10. She also had five assists and four points. Alex Atkins led the team with three steals.
For the home team, Joyner had a game-high 24 points to go with seven assists, three rebounds, two blocks and a steal.
"She is one hardworking kid," Holt said of her star guard. "She deserves all the credit she got tonight. She never takes a day off. She works hard every play in practice. Her leadership is by example. It just goes to show that hard work pays off."
Holt said it was like the team got two big wins in one night.
"We got the team win we really needed, and her teammates rallied around her," she said.
After missing some good looks early, Holt said the team did an excellent job the rest of the way at either getting looks in transition or executing the half-court offense.
Courtney Hegler had a monster game on the glass with 21 rebounds to go with 11 points and six assists.
Sarah Bruce provided 14 points, six boards and two assists. Marlee Wilmoth added nine points, six boards and three assists.
Brittany Lewis had six points and four rebounds. Brooke Lewis had two points, as did Tess Dockery and Mikayla Cox.
Surry Central travels to North Surry on Monday in a weather makeup date. Mount Airy hosts South Stokes on Tuesday.

Sandra Jackson was referred to as a conspirator in the charges against her husband. She was identified not by name but by title as manager for the campaign to re-elect Jesse Jackson Jr., beginning in 2011.
Federal investigators charged Jackson's wife with filing false federal income tax returns for the couple from 2006 through 2011.
If convicted, she could receive up to three years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine.
In a statement released by his Washington lawyer, Jesse Jackson Jr. said, "Over the course of my life I have come to realize that none of us are immune from our share of shortcomings and human frailties. Still I offer no excuses for my conduct and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made. To that end I want to offer my sincerest apologies to my family, my friends and all of my supporters for my errors in judgment and while my journey is not yet complete, it my hope that I am remembered for things that I did right."

It seems never-ending: The battle over smokers' rights. Now, it's come to college campuses. YNN's Geoff Redick reports.
"Really what we're trying to accomplish is a cultural change," said Ralph Manchester, U of R Health Services.
The University of Rochester is one of the latest to consider restricting smokers to designated "smoking areas."
"We're looking at the number of universities in our peer group who are smoke-free, and that's now a majority," said Manchester.
But Health Services Director Ralph Manchester says it's not a case of copycatting.
"There is good evidence now that even outdoor secondhand smoke exposure can result in significant health defects," said Manchester.
The effects are significant. According to the Surgeon General, as many as 50,000 deaths each year in the U.S. can be traced to secondhand smoke. What's more, when the smoke stops, studies show public health improves.
"By not having smokers seen in society as much, that seems to decrease the interest in smokers starting," said Geoffrey Williams, MD, Ph.D - URMC Healthy Living.
Dr. Geoffrey Williams works with smokers who have an interest in quitting. He says even former smokers who no longer light up would still benefit from a campus-wide ban.
"Smokers who've not smoked even up to a year - about one-third of them will relapse, in situations where they see someone smoking and they smell the cigarette smoke," said Dr. Williams.
But by removing the smokers from public settings, the culture of smoking is also removed.
"When I started working here at the university, there were no restrictions on smoking anywhere. I was at meetings where people were smoking in the room where we were meeting. Nowadays, no one would think of doing that. That's a culture change," said Manchester.
The proposal at U of R closely follows a decision this past June to ban smoking on all 63 SUNY campuses statewide. Now, with their territory shrinking, smokers are on the defensive.
"I would prefer that they don't designate non-smoking zones...we don't have much breaks during the classes, between classes, so it's really kind of difficult to walk all the way, and then come back," said Vinwt Sinha, student & smoker.

The turkey has been stuffed and so have our arteries; our now-corpulent bodies have crawled over corpses in a consumerism-driven fit of of lust and now, finally, we're back to rot at our desks, wistfully gazing toward the glimmering mirage on the horizon known as "Christmas."
As you look out on that coupon- and candy-trimmed future, we're sure you're reflecting on all that has gone by this year: All the milestones and memories. All the mistakes and monstrosities.
Well, dear ones, so have we -- and, being tech writers, those reflections have naturally turned Web/mobile-ward. Sure, there have been tons of exciting innovations unleashed upon the masses this past year, but there's also a passel of new ideas that we're glad never caught on.
In order to compile a list of said ideas, we tapped some the tech scene's finest for their input. Check it:
1) "As awesome as 4K (or 'Ultra HD,' as the tech wants to be called now) will be (So. Many. Pixels.), I can't help but shake the feeling that the same problems that snuck up on people with the spread of plain-ol' HD are just going to get worse. Not even spray-on HD makeup will be strong enough to cover up all of the pores. There's going to be a lot of angry reality TV show participants."
-- Seth Porges, Co-founder of Cloth
2) "A Siri that actually works. As a human society, we're not ready yet for an intelligent being that lives inside our phones. Sure, Siri can fetch you the weather and add appointments to your calendar, but it can't communicate with another Siri and find the best time for that conference call. There isn't real artificial intelligence that lives and breathes inside our phones yet. Siri, and Google Now and other apps can synthesize and retrieve data, but ultimately they cannot decide for us. Yet."
-- Ben Huh, CEO of the Cheezburger Network
3) "AirBnB for drones."
-- Ian Hogarth, CEO & Co-founder of Songkick

He came with high hopes and expectations for being able to promote his landscaping business, and he said he felt it was worth it.
"I've gotten to know a lot of people and they've gotten to know my business," he said. "And it helps that I have a website up and running so people can find me online now."
This was the kind of marketing and networking that organizer Elaina Beeman hoped would happen at the Black Business Expo. It was the second part of a weekend event that featured a focus on businesses of the past Friday night and businesses of the present on Saturday.
"We want to let the community know that we have businesses here that have been here for a long time that people don't know about," she said. "We want to help small business owners with networking and marketing so that they can grow, because they're not growing enough at the moment."
Beeman said fear of the economy continuing to stagnate and fall back into a recession has many minority business owners concerned about the health of their own businesses. She said many have struggled to stay open.
"We heard a lot of that (Friday) night from previous business owners," she said. "And these days, if you live in a one-parent household and are trying to run a business, you have to make hard choices between your business and your family."
But she said help is out there for business owners who look. Beeman said the networking and marketing opportunities at the expo are just one of many examples, such as joining the Greater Rome Chamber of Commerce and taking advantage of the free classes they offer to members.
Beeman said the goal is to continue holding the expo monthly.
"We need to help our local businesses," she said. "It's no longer about how centrally located you are in the community. We all have to come together and help spread the word about all the businesses we have here so we can help them grow and help each other."

The small island paradise of Boracay in the Philippines is considered one of the world's top beach destinations.
With its idyllic white sands winning praise from holidaymakers and travel publications alike, some of the world's best beaches can be found in Boracay.
Located about 31 km south of Manila and 2km from the north-west tip of Panay Island, Boracay is made up of the barangays – or small districts – of Balabag, Manoc-Manoc and Yapak. Tourists first began flocking to the island in the 1970s, attracted by its crystal-blue seas, tropical plants and abundance of marine life.
Originally an exclusive destination only visited by those in the know, it became a popular haunt for backpackers in the 1980s. By the 1990s, travellers started acclaiming its beaches as the world's best, while in 2012 Boracay took sixth place in TripAdvisor's list of the top beach resorts on the planet.
Arguably the most famous beach on an island known for its perfect sands is White Beach, thanks in part to its warm, shallow waters. However, Boracay offers plenty of alternatives, with more than a dozen beaches to be found ringing the island.
Parasailing and windsurfing are both popular activities, while the locals are happy to take you out by boat to get a glimpse of the island from the sea.
In Yapak, it's possible to explore the ancient bat caves and take some pictures of the nocturnal creatures. Exploring the area with a knowledgeable guide makes the experience all the more interesting.
Then when evening arrives, you can enjoy a few sundowners in Boracay's many bars and nightclubs or enjoy a peaceful stroll on a moonlit beach.

Connecticut has endured decades of advertising by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities warning that reductions in state financial grants to cities and towns will result in higher municipal property taxes. But throughout this time, despite ever-increasing state financial grants to municipalities, Connecticut somehow has gotten higher municipal property taxes anyway.
Maybe what Connecticut needs now is another statewide organization to advertise the truer and more relevant converse of the CCM ads. That is, increasing state financial aid to municipalities means higher state taxes — like last year's record state tax increase, including increases in the state income tax and the sales tax, enacted in large part in the name of maintaining municipal aid and restraining municipal property taxes.
After all this tax raising in the name of not raising taxes, why should anyone pay attention to CCM anymore?
Most Connecticut residents who pay more in taxes than they consume in government services — that is, most people who are not employed by government or on welfare — are exploited either way. So they no longer may see the righteousness long presumed by CCM's advertising, especially since municipalities are losing their reputation for being "closer to the people" and better guardians of the public purse than state government.
For example, last week the Meriden Record-Journal reported that the city has hired a police officer who receives a disability pension from Bridgeport, where he was an officer for 15 years before retiring on account of a knee injury. The injury having healed, the officer got his job in Meriden only to be injured in a criminal's attack on him and two other officers. So now he's collecting his Meriden salary on medical leave as well as his disability pension from Bridgeport.
This situation, the Record-Journal reported, appears to be a peculiarity of Bridgeport's generous labor arrangements, which continue despite the city's always claiming to be financially distressed and needing more help from state government. Meriden itself does not continue a disability pension for an officer who goes to work again.
Also last week the Waterbury Republican-American reported that the city's police superintendent is retiring at the ripe old age of 47 after 25 years with the department and will claim an annual pension of $81,000, 70 percent of his salary, $116,000. The superintendent aims to keep working and may get a police job elsewhere. Like Bridgeport, Waterbury also is always described as financially distressed and is always a leading claimant for more state aid.
Because of the risk of injury in their work, police officers should have good benefits. But should they get disability pensions when they're not disabled? Should retirement pensions worth maybe twice the average Connecticut resident's salary be paid to police retirees who likely have another 15 years of comfortable employability?
CCM may reply that it continues to advocate weakening the state law requiring binding arbitration of public employee union contracts. But as always CCM's advocacy here is vague and merely a formality.
Besides, as last week's news reports involving Meriden, Bridgeport, and Waterbury show, despite binding arbitration, some municipalities try a lot harder to get value than others. Lacking a middle class independent of government, Bridgeport is in the grip of a parasitic Democratic Party machine, the city's newspaper, the Connecticut Post, having reported in 2006 that 80 percent of the members of the city's Democratic committee had city government jobs, a close relative on the city payroll, a city pension, or a city office. Continued...
Getting value for the public is seldom high on city government's agenda in Connecticut, nor on CCM's. No, the main objective is just to get more money without more accountability when it should be to get more value for less money.

Neighbors said they wouldn't appeal the town's approval but would watch
