For this series of street portraits I went to the Shimo-Kitazawa neighborhood in Setagaya-ku this Sunday. It is renowned as a more casual and more alternative entertainment area than Shibuya, so the people were more relaxed and dressed less business-like than the Shibuya crowd. While I was there, the Indie Fanclub festival of local independent rock bands was happening in about a dozen venues, which means my subjects were even more friendlier than usual. Instead of ignoring the camera quite a few people reacted positively, so not all these shots are really candid…
Gothic Bar Heaven 25 at Club Crawl with Ray Trak, ManyCure and Mario†Child
For very small-scale but highly interesting goth events in Tokyo there is the underground network Artism.jp. While the tightly-knit community of performers and patrons is pretty much Japanese-only, foreigners are welcome and so I went to the Gothic Bar Heaven 25 event at Club Crawl in Shibuya to see what's up with the current Tokyo goth scene. It was a very lightly attended affair, but the performers and bands gave their best nevertheless.
First came Mario † Child (Mario Cross Child), a Japanese duo making a powerful mixture of metal, classic and synthesizer music. As you can see, not only the music, but also their costumes were influenced by Moi dix Mois and similar Visual Kei bands.
The second band of the evening was ManyCuRe, also a duo, but they were supported by two guest musicians. They played very loud, very energetic punk rock in a rough and entertaining performance.
The headliner of the event was the Gothic Rock band Ray Trak with singer Lynne Hobday. Their music reminded me a lot of Faith and the Muse and typical 4AD bands, which is quite a compliment. Their beautiful music was underlined by a strong performance by the band and the supporting "Gothic Fusion Belly Dance" by Neo and Min.
Between the music acts several DJs played electro, EBM and goth music to entertain the patrons. As so often, these were dressed up in elaborate goth and cyberpunk fashion and were fun to photograph while they were dancing on the dancefloor or relaxing in the anteroom.
T-shirts are a wonderful source for Engrish in Japan. Western rōmaji (latin letters) are cool and modern, so on casual clothing English is often depicted (virtually no real Japanese wears clothes with Japanese letters). However, sometimes things go wrong, resulting in mangled words or strange misspellings.
This ¥6850 t-shirt has some Engrish nonsense on it:
New! Halume's Milky Corpolate with a mode
Sweet label Damianne Halume
Design by Pelouse co.ltd.
We want to be a corpolate like a chocolate for our custmer.
Another one of those remarkable decorations of Japanese shops and restaurants. This ceramic pig was seen in a rāmen-ya on the Shinjuku-dōri in Shinjuku. It's kinda cute, but at the same time kinda creepy, because for some people the idea of having a pig as a cook is a little bit disturbing…
I went out to Shibuya (the terminus of "my" Inokashira line) to shoot the lights and people in the evening. I wanted to try to capture the contrast of the glittering lights of the modern shopping and entertainment district Shibuya with the worn-out buildings next to it, so I took only my fast 50mm lens. But while I was exploring the area, it started to rain and I turned back towards the station. Halfway there I rested on a bench provided by an electronics store, reviewing the few photos I'd taken. Noticing the still ongoing rush of passers-by unfazed by the light rain, I started taking pictures from right where I sat. I deliberately unfocused the lens, taking advantage of the nice bokeh (rendering of out-of-focus areas) of my glass.
I love documenting people on the street. I am a street photographer at heart and I am especially fond of shooting candid portraits of everyday people, showing their style, clothing, and expressions when walking in public. The fashion hub Shibuya with its millions of commuters, shoppers and visitors is my favorite hunting ground for this photographic endeavor where I try to capture my subjects unaware.
writtenafterwards/Yoshikazu Yamagata fashion show at Tabloid
This Saturday I was invited to the newly-opened Tabloid studio/club/gallery in Hinode, Minato-ku, where the Art Hotel Nest Tokyo is residing. The fashion designer Yoshikazu Yamagata (山縣良和) and his writtenafterwards label presented his latest fashions designs in a show titled "Crime and Punishment". I got a good position to photograph the runway and present you here a couple of photos from this event. By the way, the models were wearing white make-up and crude wigs — they really looked like this.
After the presentation I walked around and shot a little bit of the other installations from Yamagata's students of the "coconogacco" class.
These pea-sized "berries" are actually the latest trend in solanaceous horticulture: micro tomatoes. Called "maikuro tomato" (マイクロトマト) in Japan, this fruit is the dwarf brother of the regular tomato plant and is said to be even more delicious than the regular stuff. I haven't seen these fruits before, but in the Tōkyū department store food court there was a huge collection of tomatoes in all sizes, colors and flavors (some produce, like this one, pretty expensive).
Like any modern democracy, Japan has its fair share of political fringe parties. On my return from Shibuya I came across the loudspeaking truck of the so-called "Happiness Realization Party" (幸福実現党). While the name sounds characteristically Japanese cute, they are actually the political front of a cult-like spiritual movement. Their goals are a mixture of very agreeable policies for Japan's future, jingoist fear mongering about North Korea and the "Happy Science" religious doctrines and donations acquiring.
"Child Perent" useful socks in Kiddy Land
I could spend hours photographing the weird and wonderful stuff that the toy store Kiddy Land on Omote-sandō in Harajuku offers. For now I just snapped a picture of "useful socks" that were on display, and only because the spelling mistake caught my eye.

Ireland caress Home Internationals title
Ireland stormed to a huge win over Wales to move into pole position for the Home Internationals title going into the final day at Glasgow Gailes, writes the Scottish Golf Union.
{Click here for results and standings}
After edging out Scotland in a nail-biting finish to this morning's match, the Irish maintained their momentum with a crushing 11.5 – 3.5 victory over Wales this afternoon, as they bid to land their second successive Raymond Trophy win on Scottish soil having captured the title at Muirfield four years ago.
An impressive morning saw Ireland race to a 4 – 1 foursomes lead, with Richard O'Donovan and Chris Selfridge ousting the Welsh number one pairing of James Frazer and Rhys Pugh on the final green of the opening match.
Selfridge edged out Frazer by one hole in the top singles match, although Wales rallied with a win for Jason Shufflebotham over O'Donovan while Jonathan Bale halved his match with Amateur Champion Alan Dunbar.
Reeve Whitson made it four wins from his four matches with an excellent 4 and 3 victory over recently crowned European Amateur Champion Rhys Pugh and although Luke Thomas pulled one back for the Welsh, Ireland won the last four matches to secure their position at the top of the table.
The result means Ireland go into Friday's final day needing just a half point with England to clinch their first Home Internationals victory since 2008.

My Apprenticeship - Monday, August 2, 2004
This summer I'm revisiting my short apprenticeship at Object Mentor. I'll be posting commentary on all my posts from the summer of 2004 exactly 5 years later to the day.
Monday 8-2-04
Word Press has been successfully installed on the Object Mentor servers and 'ButUncleBob.com' should be available for blogging in a few days. So head on over there sometime soon and pick a fight with Bob Martin about some XP practice or other.
The install, as usual, was a bit of a problem until we realized that since PHP and MySQL were installed separately, we had to run a program to make them talk to each other. Said program was downloaded, installed, and then everything went smoothly. Nice.
Micah has now officially charged me with making a chess program to compete with his creation. Baby steps, Micah. First I gotta get it to let two humans play each other. After some discussion I've given up on my 'special moves class' because it's way more of a maintenance nightmare then the problem it's supposed to solve (letting ChessPieces know about the ChessBoard). I also want to finish my TDD version of Tic Tac Toe. The Land of Linux was fun to visit, but it's good to be back writing some tests and makin' 'em pass.
Yeah, I kinda stayed away from Linux for awhile after that first experience. It's all summed up here in a nice and cute sorta way but there was a few weeks there of coming in every day and feeling like my operating system was out to get me. I literally knew nothing about using 'Nix OS so every problem was hampered by the fact that even the simplest of things (like using ps and grep to find out what was running, or the 'which' command, or where command paths were stored, etc.) was a herculean task in the face of my limited abilities.

As the whole world's hottest music video today, Psy's "Gangnam Style" has reached millions of viewers resulting in countless cover videos, parodies and caught a lot of attention to both domestic and international artists. Bigbang and Psy are both under YG Entertainment. Check out the short video of Seungri below. What do you think?

So yesterday we got one of those awful calls off the lettings agents to say that they would be popping in to take some pictures… needless to say, we all just stared at each other in terror. Tbh, it's pretty much completely mine and my partners fault, but our house is never in a state where 'a quick freshen up' is an option, so I have to spend an entire 24 hours removing stuff from the front room back into mine, re-arranging the entire of my room so that I can actually fit things into it, and doing all the dishes that I've hoarded from the last time they came around to inspect. Yeah, tidiness is definitely not one of those things that I could claim on a C.V. One skill that I have managed to crack however is Speed-Tidying. I literally deserve a medal for that!
It seems that I can turn something like this:
into something like this…
…in about 30 mins flat, and basically it's because I have a system.
First, I throw all the clothes into one corner of the room – and then put it into bin bags and taken them down to the washing machine.
Then, I grab another bin bag and throw all the rubbish away.
And then finally, I hoover and actually put things where they belong.
Oh, and also, obviously neither of these are my room, I mean, there would be no point being anon if I were to actually post pictures of my bedroom… but basically picture one (and probably actually a bit worse) to picture two in 30 mins. I find that breaking it down into separate jobs really helps, so I don't spend like an extra hour stressing about everything.
So you might just be thinking, oh Sarah stop exaggerating: it obviously doesn't matter about the lettings agent coming around if you can do all that in half an hour, but I just worry so much that it still won't be good enough. I mean, surely we have to have some kind of penance for making it suddenly appear as if we've got it all sorted. I mean, we always start with good intentions after a visit, but after a week or two our room just turns into a pit of despair. I'm talking actual bio-hazard levels. Mouldy plates, dominoes boxes, dirty and 'clean' clothes mixed together. It gets to the point where it just seems to much to deal with all in one go, so I just put it off, and put it off, until somebody wants to come around, and then I engage Clean-Freak Sarah mode.
…and anyway Clean-Freak Sarah is a scary Sarah. She's the kind of Sarah who has to be left alone, and if liable to shout at anybody who enters a room. I've always been that way: if I'm cleaning -leave me to it and come back in a couple of hours, so really it is kind of a big deal.
Anyway, there's what I have to deal with. Bring on the awkward 'where do I stand' moments when they actually turn up – at least my room is tidy! I guess if there was kind of any moral to this it would be to keep your bedrooms tidy to avoid all this…. but yeah…

What better way to start the day than tatting an Ice Drop? It works for me!
I finished up the band that Eva and I worked on yesterday. This was an exercise in maintaining tension, and I think we both did fairly well.
I'm getting close to finishing up my ball of Spring Garden thread. I think I may be able to get two more Ice Drops out of it.
My new loom arrived in the mail today! I'm getting much better at setting up a new warp. This is one pattern repeat, the longest one I've tried so far. I do like the green and gold together!

2016 Nissan Terrano Facelift
The Terrano crossover aimed at the Indian market was launched by the Renault-Nissan Alliance for the 2013 model year. Nissan's crossover SUV actually shares most of its components with the Renault Duster that has been hugely successful in India. Although the Terrano India is still relatively fresh on the market, rumor has it that the model is due to receive a mild facelift for the 2016 MY. Namely, the 2016 Nissan Terrano is expected to come with several styling tweaks, while the rest of the vehicle should carry over unchanged.
2016 Nissan Terrano Updates
As far as the sheet metal is concerned, the 2016 Nissan Terrano will retain its familiar proportions. However, expect to see some new styling cues that should bring this crossover more in line with the rest of Nissan's SUV lineup. It will adopt a restyled front fascia reminiscent of the one seen on the Patfinder SUV. In other words, the Terrano will distinguish itself from the Duster even more after the latest facelift. Among these tweaks we expect to see a restyled grille, new headlights and aluminum roof rails. As for the interior design, it is expected to remain mostly unchanged. The only notable changes will come with a revised steering wheel and an enhanced audio system that will include a CD-player, USB, aux-in and Bluetooth connectivity.
2016 Nissan Terrano Engine Specs
The engine department of the 2016 Nissan Terrano will be virtually identical to the one offered with its predecessor. So, buyers will once again be able to choose between gasoline and diesel powertrains. The gasoline option will come as the 1.6-liter unit paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Now, the 1.5-liter dCi diesel engine produces either 84 horsepower or 109 horsepower, depending on the variant. The more powerful diesel unit can be had with a six-speed manual gearbox.
2016 Nissan Terrano Release Date
The 2016 Nissan Terrano is expected to hit the dealerships in late 2015 or possibly in early 2016.

As you've probably noticed, I've been a little M.I.A. recently. The reason being that there is a lot going on in my personal and professional life at the moment. Of course all of the goings on are good and exciting, but super, crazy, fantastically and unimaginably busy. After some time to reflect, I've decided to officially take some time off of blogging. Not indefinitely, but a little hiatus until I can get things straightened out.
Never fear, I will continue to read and keep up with all that is YA and romance, but I need to take the pressure off for a while. If I'm honest with myself, I know that I'm going to end up re-reading a few of my favorite series as the comfort food to my brain. I may or may not already be half way through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone... may or may not be.
I have one more scheduled blog tour post to go up tomorrow that will still be posted, but after that, you can expect a little absence from me here at Abibliophobic.
Thank you for being patient and great readers and I'll get back to it as soon as I can control some of the wonderful chaos that is my life at the moment!

Mark is one of the country's foremost food writers, known for his original take on all things edible. His A Year at Otter Farm, published in 2014, won the Andre Simon Food Book of the Year; A Taste of the Unexpected won the Guild of Food Writers Food Book of the Year 2011; and The New Kitchen Garden was published this spring. Mark has also written three River Cottage Handbooks, and is one of the authors of the forthcoming River Cottage Bible. He has won numerous Garden Media Guild awards for his writing and photography.
His unique smallholding, Otter Farm, is home to orchards of – among many other things – pecans, peaches, almonds, Szechuan pepper, apricots, a vineyard and the most delicious varieties of vegetables and herbs. His idea is not only pioneering, it is also beautifully sustainable – taking advantage of climate change to grow low carbon food helps arrest its acceleration. It also means he's lucky enough to spend most of his time eating, growing, writing and talking about food. Mark has now established his gardening and cookery school at Otter Farm, as well as running the blog relating all its daily joys.
He writes regular features for the Daily Telegraph, occasionally for the Observer, the Guardian and a host of other publications, and has a monthly column in The Simple Things. Mark's award-winning Otter Farm blog has run for 10 years, has many thousands of followers.
Mark also led the Garden Team at River Cottage, appearing in the TV series, running courses and events at River Cottage HQ. He is one of the authors of the widely popular River Cottage series, of which the most recent is River Cottage A-Z: Our Favourite Ingredients and How to Cook Them, published in September 2016.

RIVER COTTAGE A-Z: OUR FAVOURITE INGREDIENTS & HOW TO COOK THEM – buy it here
The definitive River Cottage kitchen companion. Mark works with a team of experts who have between them an unprecedented breadth of culinary expertise on subjects that range from fishing and foraging to bread-making, preserving, cheese-making and much more. In this volume they profile their best-loved and most-used ingredients. With more than three hundred entries covering vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, meat, fish, fungi, foraged foods, pulses, grains, dairy, oils and vinegars, the River Cottage A to Z is a compendium of all the ingredients the resourceful modern cook might want to use in their kitchen.
Each ingredient is accompanied by a delicious, simple recipe or two: there are new twists on old favourites, such as cockle and chard rarebit, North African shepherd's pie, pigeon breasts with sloe gin gravy, or damson ripple parfait, as well as inspiring ideas for less familiar ingredients, like dahl with crispy seaweed or rowan toffee. And there are recipes for all seasons: wild garlic fritters in spring; cherry, thyme and marzipan muffins for summer; an autumnal salad of venison, apple, celeriac and hazelnuts; a hearty winter warmer of ale-braised ox cheeks with parsnips.
With more than 350 recipes, and brimming with advice on processes such as curing bacon and making yoghurt, the secret of perfect crackling and which apple varieties to choose for a stand-out crumble, as well as sourcing the most sustainable ingredients, this is an essential guide to cooking, eating and living well. More than anything, the River Cottage A to Z is a celebration of the amazing spectrum of produce that surrounds us – all brought to life by Simon Wheeler's atmospheric photography, and Michael Frith's evocative watercolour illustrations.

A YEAR AT OTTER FARM – Buy it here.
'Otter Farm is all about flavour. It starts and ends with the question: What do I really want to eat?'
The taste of a perfectly ripe mulberry was Mark Diacono's inspiration for creating Otter Farm, a unique smallholding in Devon with every inch dedicated to extraordinary produce. Sprouting broccoli, asparagus, artichokes, borlotti beans and chard flourish in the vegetable patch; quince and Chilean guava grow in the edible forest; and pigs and chickens roam freely.
Here Mark shares his colourful, beautiful recipes, all brimming with flavour and with fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit – including a warm salad of Padron peppers, cherries and halloumi, a stew made from chicken, pork and borlotti beans, a curried squash and mussel soup, and cucumber ice cream, quince doughnuts and fennel toffee apples. He charts the seasonal challenges and excitements of rural living, and offers practical advice for cultivating the best of the familiar, unusual and forgotten varieties at home. With luminous photography that captures life in the kitchen and outdoors, this ground-breaking book reveals how even the most exotic and exciting tastes can have their roots in British soil.

THE NEW KITCHEN GARDEN — Buy it here
Inspired by a range of gardeners growing food on allotments, on rooftops, in container gardens and in other edible spaces, many of them urban, Mark shows you the full exciting breadth of what a kitchen garden can be.
Whether you have a window sill, space for a few plants by the back door, an allotment or an acre, you'll find a series of invitations to grow any of almost 200 fruits, nuts, herbs, spices, flowers and vegetables to suit your space, time and inclination.
Everything is here – the tools, the techniques, the ideas and the knowledge – to enable you to realise that vision of your own kitchen garden, wherever you live. There's also a dozen incredible edible gardens – a rooftop food forest, a courtyard of metre-square raised beds, Charles Dowding's no-dig garden, a child's container garden and Raymond Blanc's heritage garden at Le Manoir among them – their gates flung open by the gardeners to reveal their methods, ideas and techniques, with plans, key plants and photography to accompany.
Mark Diacono – who was head of the gardening team at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage – captures the spirit of adventure and imagination of those growing food in the twenty-first century. He takes ideas from gardens around the world, including that of his own home, Otter Farm in Devon, with its unique blend of orchards, vineyards, forest gardens, edible hedges, perennial garden and veg patch.
No matter whether you have space for a collection of pots or a small farm at your disposal, The New Kitchen Garden will show you how to create the most incredible edible garden you can.

Life is too short to grow ordinary food. Why bother spending time, effort and money growing the typical varieties of fruit and vegetables that you can easily buy locally and cheaply and which, crucially, taste pretty much the same whether home grown or shop bought? In A Taste of the Unexpected, River Cottage head gardener Mark Diacono reveals that it is no harder to grow the unusual and utterly delicious than it is the entirely ordinary. On his farm in Devon, Mark grows virtually nothing that you can buy in the supermarkets. There, instead of potatoes, onions and carrots you'll find gourmet delights such as kai lan, salsify, Chilean guava, day lilies and Szechuan pepper. Filled with practical growing advice and mouthwatering recipes, this inspirational book will encourage you to share Mark's sense of culinary adventure – introducing you to the finest forgotten flavours, fabulous lesser-known harvests, the tastiest varieties of familiar crops, and the exotic foreign fruit that our changing climate now allows us to grow for ourselves. None of these requires any extra effort to grow than the usual suspects and all of them will bring new flavours and experiences into your garden and kitchen. Exciting and inspirational, A Taste of the Unexpected will redefine your approach to growing your own for good.

Its likely that some Hackers have already exploited Windows Vista activation , according to SecurityFocus.com, Experts are blogging on how can this is propogating and how can it be controlled, one technique that requires a special editor for the the software that acts as the interface between the PC hardware and the operating system, BIOS. By editing a special value that PC manufacturers use to pass the product activation test, a hacker can run Windows Vista, said Alex Kochis, senior product manager for Microsoft, stated on the Windows Genuine Advantage blog, this technique could easily result in an inoperable PC if done wrong.
A second hack uses emulation to attempt to defeat product activation and is easier to pull off, but also easier to detect. Microsoft's Kochis said the company will consider the impact on customers of any change to the anti-piracy software.

Sunday Dinner with Toots
produced by Ray Caspio & Kevenn T. Smith
created by Ray Caspio
with performer-creators Benjamin Gregorio, Cassie Neumann Lucas & Lauren B. Smith
Sunday Dinner with Toots invites audiences to join the eccentric Uncle Toots and his adversarial family around his dining room table with the promise of homemade food, camaraderie and conversation. Inspired by interviews with first and second generation Italian-Americans who grew up on Cleveland's East Side in the 1930s through 1950s, Toots is a hilarious, improvised, interactive exploration of how living characters coexist with diverse people while dealing with alcoholism, cancer, love lost and found and lost again, the loss of a child, aging in America, and America's health care industry. Audiences are spurred into thinking about themselves and the people in their lives in new ways, such as discovering compassion for adversarial relationships and igniting curiosity about the differing stances of those whom they encounter in life.

Theater Ninjas' original production, TingleTangle, is an evening of personal storytelling, sketches, songs, and conversations about sexuality, marriage equality, the many angles of oppression, and the power of compassion. It revels in the nuances of identity and how we all use performance to communicate our truest selves to the world. Monologues I wrote and performed, drawing on my experiences as a married gay man in Ohio, form TingleTangle's core. TingleTangle set Theater Ninjas box office records and was the first production in the company's nine year history to extend its run. A faithfully updated version of the production returned in June 2015 to sold out crowds, poignantly closing the day marriage equality was fully legalized nationwide. The monologue below, "First Time," talks about that single moment when we discover who we are.

Frightened voices around the world are adapting to recent social changes through an influx of hate speech, violence and oppressive laws aimed at LGBTQIA individuals. This transgressive cabaret that looks at a world filled with fear, oppression, and hate speech, but responds with love, compassion, humor, and the desire to understand...not to mention some out-and-out DESIRE. There are no easy answers, and laughter and tears make great dancing partners. Tingle-Tangle: Preludes is a seductive tango between pain and pleasure.

The Turing Machine
produced by Theater Ninjas
written by Jeremy Paul & Ray Caspio
directed by Jeremy Paul
starring Ray Caspio
The Turing Machine is an original, 'post-human metaphysical biography' about the life and legacy of Alan Turing, the brillant pioneer of computer sciences. In this one-man show, a computer program believes it is the reincarnation of Turing and relives the complex contradictions of this singular genius' life, reflecting on his career, persecution and influence on the modern age. Starring Ray Caspio whose 'transcendent', 'riveting' embodiment of this character first appeared in 2014's Code:Preludes.

Code: Preludes
produced by Theater Ninjas
directed & devised by Jeremy Paul
contributing creators & performers Ray Caspio, Christina Dennis, Christopher Hisey, Valerie C. Kilmer, Val Kozlenko, Ryan Lucas, Michael Prosen & Sean Seibert
Code: Preludes is an explorable theatrical experience inspired by the beauty of mathematics and the programmers who operate on the boundary between our messy human lives and the pristine world of symbols and equations behind the code that envelops our world. Drawing from the experiences of real-life programmers and the legacy of Alan Turing, this sensory, interactive performance creates a kind of living science museum that uses theater techniques and software concepts to cultivate and rekindle a sense of awe for the power of mathematics, and highlights the individuals who encode our humanity into modern technologic society.

An Apology for the Course and Outcome of Certain Events Delivered by Dr. John Faustus on this His Final Evening
produced by convergence-continuum
written by Mickle Maher
directed by Susan Soltis
starring Robert Hawkes & Ray Caspio
Faustus, a skittish, self-aggrandizing schmuck facing his final hour on earth delivers an extravagant, hilarious, and ultimately unnerving monologue about the sublime meaninglessness of nearly all human endeavors. A lean, tragicomic version of the Faust story, An Apology... presents Dr. Faustus in the last hour of his final night on earth: irritated, whining, and repentant of nothing save his failure to keep a proper diary. Over the course of the evening, he rails against his silent servant Mephistopheles and tells the fantastic tale of his life—a life filled with wonders, as well as an immeasurably vast evil.

starring Robert Hawkes & Ray Caspio
original compositions and accompaniment by Eric M. C. Gonzalez
The first scene of King Lear goes badly for the old man, as we know. But what the heck was he expecting anyway? Hawkes' one-act prologue to the tale seeks to answer that very question as the King (Robert Hawkes) and his Fool (Ray Caspio) try desperately to control events that have not even happened yet.

Today, everyone is so confused about ethics because of the commercial interests. Ethics can be best understood as the interplay between ethical values and interests. The lack of consideration of interests has similarly confused our understanding of ethics. The concern with ethics has been couched not in these terms but in terms of the contradiction between the democratic function in media and their control by commercial interests.
This discussion started with Martin Moore's blog about the debate sponsored by PR Week that 'PR has a duty to tell the truth', over 260 public relations executives voted against the motion to only 124 voting for. The discussion about lying and ethics was picked by many blogs like up by Strumpette , BuzzMachine, India PR, Hill & Knowlton and StriveNotes.
In justification among things was that the journalists are to be blamed. I agree a bit to what the PR Week panel's justification mentioned in Martin Moore's Blog
This leads me to a lecture I attended yesterday, by Tony Harcup, Author of the book "The Ethical Journalist" who was talking about his book. It was nice to hear him say things like, What is happening to the News today? This is not journalism. Journalists these days have become "Churnalist," They just Churn news.
I spoke to him about Journalist cases where they run sting operations(catch people on hidden camera's and expose it to Indian publics) whether it is ethical or not? He quite clearly agreed with me and stated that if it is for the greater good of society to know, then yes, of course, but if it is for creating some Gossip news or doesn't concern the society, then of course, not.
I think we in India have seen this distinction in the past, where the bribing of the defence ministry was shown to the public, but the face of the film actress prostitute was not shown (as it would have ruined her career).
As long as we take the ethical values and interests interplay into consideration, I think everyone would understand the Ethical issues more clearly.
And clearly if someone asks me the question "Are PR people supposed to Lie? or Do you Lie?" I would answer, "If you asking me that I am ethical? … Yes, I am an ethical practitioner, and PR practitioners are ethical." And leave it there.

I love the selfie aspect, too. Perfectly balanced and deeply dimensional. Your pics always pop so strongly...I need to study your sense of composition, because you have such a unique way of framing a scene.

Wow, (still smiling about Carmi's comment) but so true. I especially enjoyed the yellow framed-ness of it all! Even being a snow person, (over and beyond this year) this is a cool reflection of snow country!

Bookstore enthusiasts walking along Pennsylvania Avenue during lunch break yesterday were confronted with sobering news: After 51 years in business on Capitol Hill, Trover Shop is closing.
Bright-orange fliers announcing 20 percent off merchandise were taped around the shop before the 7 a.m. opening. In the window, a letter began: "It is with great sadness that we inform you of our plans to close our Capitol Hill location, but given the current economic climate and the changes in our industry, we are faced with no other viable option."
"Oh, my goodness gracious. It's been here forever," said customer Annette Alsop, who was flipping through a magazine when she spotted the going-out-of-business signs. "I didn't even notice. I'm stunned."
Customers and employees reminisced yesterday about the boldface names who had visited Trover for book signings -- Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, Barbara Walters and Larry King, to name a few -- or simply to pick up a good read.

Off the water or on it, you'll find plenty of interest on this fascinating section of the Thames Path between Walton-on-Thames and Hampton Court.
Distance 5 miles (8km)
Minimum time 2hrs
Ascent/gradient Negligible
Level of difficulty Easy
Paths Level, well maintained tow path walk, ideal for young families with a pushchair, and active wheelchair users
Landscape Thames scenery, colourful houseboats, riverside pubs
Suggested map aqua3 OS Explorers 160 Windsor, Weybridge & Bracknell, 161 London SouthTQ 093664TQ 152683
Dog friendliness Good, but do remember to scoop poop
Parking Behind Hampton Court Station at finish of walk
Public toilets Cowey Sale (adjacent to Walton Bridge) and Molesey Lock
Notes Catch bus 451 or 461 to start, then walk back to car park
1 Cross the road in front of the station, and catch the bus to Walton on Thames from stop J, outside the Joshua Tree bar & brasserie. The bus will drop you in Hepworth Way. Continue walking in the same direction, and follow the road round to the traffic lights. Cross over, and bear right into Bridge Street; then, just before the main span over the river, drop down the steps to your right, signposted 'Thames Path'. (You can avoid the steps by turning left here, into Walton Lane; at the bottom of the slope, double back onto the Thames Path and continue under Walton Bridge.
2 At the foot of the steps turn left, then right, onto the riverside path. Climb over the ramped footbridge at the entrance to Walton Marina; then, from here to the end of your walk, all you need to do is to keep the river on your left.
3 There are no worries about route finding, so you're free to look around at the delights that the river has in store. Sunbury Lock with its massive electrically operated gates is always a pleasant spot to watch the boats. Then, as the bustle of the lock slips behind, you'll be walking beside the low brick walls of Molesey Reservoirs. Beyond them, you'll pass a few houses set back from the water's edge before the river divides around Platts Eyot. The word eyot - pronounced like the alternative spelling 'ait' - derives from the Old English word ieg, and simply means a small island. Next comes Hurst Park, now predominantly an area of 1970s period housing separated from the river by wide lawns. Across the river lies Hampton, with its sailing club and the prominent landmark of St Mary's Church. The historic ferry here is a delightful way of crossing the river to explore the historic area on the other side. Just beyond the ferry lies Garrick's Ait. Behind it, on the Middlesex bank, the small domed building is Garrick's Temple, built in the mid-18th century by the actor David Garrick in honour of William Shakespeare. Then comes Tagg's Island, followed by the tree-lined section that leads you past Molesey Boat Club to Molesey Lock.
4 From the lock, the footpath runs briefly alongside Hurst Road to Hampton Court Bridge, just across the road from the car park at the end of your walk.
By the time you reach Walton Marina on this walk, you're almost certain to have seen a few swans. This part of the river is an important place for them, for Sunbury is the starting point of the traditional annual census of 'Swan Upping'. In medieval times swan meat was an important part of any royal banquet, and all swans were considered to be Crown property. Swan Upping also dates from this time, but although the colourful royal ceremonial still takes places each year in late July, the modern 'Uppers' are more concerned with ecology, conservation and animal welfare than with stocking Her Majesty's larder.
Hurst Park has a colourful sporting history. Cricket and golf were both played here in the 18th century, and prize fights during the early 19th century attracted crowds of up to 10,000 people. For over 200 years, Hurst Park was also a popular horse racing venue, and the course was only closed as recently as 1962.
This vicars of Hampton's St Mary's Church are known as far back as 1342 and, although the present building only dates from 1831, the triangle of streets around the church has been familiar since the early 16th century when Cardinal Wolsey began work on the great palace of Hampton Court. There's been a ferry here since that time, too, and it's still a delightful way of crossing the river to explore this historic area.
You'll be spoilt for choice! Along the route, the Anglers and the Weir are both large, riverside pubs with extensive menus and outside tables overlooking the water. A little further on, a short ferry ride to Hampton brings the Bell, the White Hart or the Jolly Cooper's within your grasp. At journey's end, you'll find Pizza Hut's Streets of London pub and the Joshua Tree bar & brasserie.
Just across the river at the end of this walk, Hampton Court Palace needs no introduction. But for less than the cost of family ticket to the Palace you can pilot your own four-seater motor launch from Hampton Ferry Hire Boats for a pleasant couple of hours on the river.
Tagg's Island, connected to the Middlesex bank by a bridge, is now a popular houseboat mooring. Tom Tagg had a boatyard here in Victorian times, and he opened the Island Hotel in 1872. By the dawn of the last century business was slack, and in 1912 Fred Karno took over the lease. He demolished the building, and in its place constructed 'the finest and most luxurious river hotel in Europe'. But his timing was unfortunate; the First World War was imminent, and the initial popularity of his 'Karsino' was never repeated in the post war era. After several changes of name the building was demolished in 1971 to make way for a landscaped lagoon.

San Angelo, Texas • A jury on Thursday convicted polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs of sexually assaulting two girls, ages 12 and 15, whom he took as plural wives.
The West Texas panel of 10 women and two men deliberated about 3 1/2 hours before finding the 55-year-old man guilty of one count each of sexual assault of a child and aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Jeffs stood to hear the verdict, stared directly at District Judge Barbara Walther, then sat back down.
The same jury that convicted him will now decide his sentence, which could be imprisonment for up to life.
That penalty phase of the trial was to begin Thursday afternoon following a short break.
After the verdict, Jeffs' standby attorney, Deric Walpole, told news reporters, "Any time there's a loss, we are disappointed."
Walpole added that it appeared Jeffs would continue to represent himself during the next portion of the trial.
Prosecutors said they would need about two days to present evidence pertaining to Jeffs' sentence, which can include other alleged bad acts. The verdict followed some bizarre behavior by Jeffs —the self-proclaimed prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints — during his opportunity to present a closing argument.
During the 30 minutes allotted to him, Jeffs stood silent for all but the final minutes, when he muttered some barely audible words, then sat down.
Emily Detoto, one of Jeffs' former attorneys, confirmed the one-sentence closing statement was, "I am at peace."
Jeffs had spent the first 20 minutes of his closing staring forward. He then turned his gaze toward the prosecutors and the jury. At the 24-minute mark, Jeffs uttered the four-word phrase. He sat down six minutes later.
When Jeffs' 30 minutes ran out, Walther declared the trial concluded and ordered the jury to begin deliberating.
During his closing statement, prosecutor Eric Nichols stressed to jurors that the so-called religious persecution and freedom issues Jeffs had raised in his defense should have nothing to do with their deliberations.
"This case is not about any people, not about any religion. This case is about Warren Steed Jeffs and what he has done," Nichols said.
Prior to closing arguments, with the jury out of the room, Jeffs made a motion to allow the jury find him innocent of based on "pure religious intent." Walther denied the motion.

On Friday, October 17, 2014, at 6:00 PM, Porter Square Books is hosting (at the Brattle Theatre) David Valdes Greenwood, in conversation with Cary Elwes, author of As You Wish. A Princess Bride screening follows the talk (screening begins at 8:30 PM).
We asked Mr. Farmboy himself our Five Questions, to get in the "sexy fairy-tale" spirit. We will refrain from quoting lines from the movie. Though we could. All day long. (NB: Roger has never seen The Princess Bride. Inconceivable, right?!)
1. My childhood best friend and I saw The Princess Bride in the theater and we can still quote long passages from it. What from the experience still resonates most with you?
CE: The whole experience resonates with me which is why I decided to write this book, but if I had to pick one thing it would be a person and that would be Andre.
2. Princess Bride fans must stop you all the time. What are some of the weirdest, funniest, or most memorable things they say?
CE: I met a family once who named all their children after the characters in the film.
3. Have you watched the movie with someone who's never seen it before? (The ROUS scene is fun!)
CE: I have not, but I am looking forward to sharing it with my daughter in the near future.
4. Celebrity today is not what it was in 1987. How do you think your life would be different if The Princess Bride came out in 2014?
CE: I have no idea…
5. You've written a book about a movie that was first a (wonderful) book. Are you a reader?
CE: Of course. I read the original book of The Princess Bride when I was thirteen and I thoroughly recommend it as a companion book to mine!
James Lipton, you can have your job back now. Though it's been fun to chat with movie stars.

The Rose and The Dagger (The Wrath and The Dawn Series 2)
The Rose and The Dagger
By Renee Ahdieh
My tears!!!! Give me back MY TEARS!!!! HOW CAN YOU STOLEN MY PRECIOUS TEARS AWAY??? Yes, it's true that some books successfully stolen my heart away, but my tears? Only few of them success. I love this sequel, I love The Wrath and The Dawn, and now, I just completely, madly fallen in love with The Rose and The Dagger!!!!!
I love EVERY SINGLE MOMENT Shahrzad spent with Khalid. And my, my, my…the more I read, the more I fall in love with Khalid. (Why is my fictional boyfriend list growing larger and larger? That's insane!!!!) But as long as you read the book, you'll understand WHY!!!! how can anyone not love him???
I still remember when I first visit Barnes and Noble, The Rose and The Dagger just list on the magnificently wonderful shelf…and I've always thought "Yes!!! I'm going to buy it here!!! With hardcover!!!" And now? I finally read it!!! And tears just stream down my cheeks.
In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad is forced from the arms of her beloved husband, the Caliph of Khorasan. She once thought Khalid a monster—a merciless killer of wives, responsible for immeasurable heartache and pain—but as she unraveled his secrets, she found instead an extraordinary man and a love she could not deny. Still, a curse threatens to keep Shazi and Khalid apart forever.Now she's reunited with her family, who have found refuge in the desert, where a deadly force is gathering against Khalid—a force set on destroying his empire and commanded by Shazi's spurned childhood sweetheart. Trapped between loyalties to those she loves, the only thing Shazi can do is act. Using the burgeoning magic within her as a guide, she strikes out on her own to end both this terrible curse and the brewing war once and for all. But to do it, she must evade enemies of her own to stay alive.
The sequel is as great as the first, or…should I say, twice better? The plot twists just seize your heart, and just you think you were realize by the power…it held you in its palm once more. The plot twists…they give you so much feeling!!! Tears!!!! Laughter!!!! And tear and laughter!!! You might even start wandering when did you become so sensitive. Because that's how I feel. Five stars rule? 1. Seize my iron heart. 2. Make my dry eyes cries. And believe me, The Rose and The Dagger has done it, and I told you, there might be only five books out there on my bookshelf has successfully complete the unreachable goal. (Well…it might be reachable…just really hard to complete both of the conditions at once.) Shall we talk more about the book? I'm currently so exciting!!!!
From the stars, to the stars.
You know I have completely now resistance toward stars!!!! (BTW, I'm now currently working on a book with lots of lots of stars. )
It's just…how can you not love those beautiful things? Now? I had a "To the stars who listen" phone case on my phone, and a "From the star, to the star" quote for my phone pages. Wonderfully beautiful, as Khalid and Shazi's love. As you know, all lovers in novels are mostly "star-crossed." So do they. Yet…my heart just aches so much when they're not together!!!! Instead of whining every day and every night, the couple struggled to make their way together, to break the unbreakable curse, and to make amends. What's great about this book? Unlike The Wrath and The Dawn we mostly focus on Shahrzad, this time we had more Khalid!!!! And merciful god…I just love that. He truly grew. He was no longer the monstrous king and the boy hidden in the shadow, but a grown man, wise and responsible. Yet…it makes me wander…how old was Khalid? And how old was Shazi? Cause Shazi kept calling him "my beautiful boy-king," as well as others…but was he truly that young? Well…that doesn't matter at all.
The Rose's rarest essence lives in the thorns.
Shazi was truly a silver-tongue. She was so smart! My star…it's just…I think only Khalid can compete with her…or perhaps Despina as well. But she was so strong as well, during her time apart from Khalid, she never flinched, never yielded, never gave up. She was the queen, the Calipha of Khorasan. (She was a hundred times much more better than "the queen of Ter—") And the part that she shield herself of Khalid and Khalid tries to turn her away…(Screaming!!!!!) I just totally scream out loud!!!!! (And my classmates watched me as if I'm insane.)
You know what? For that part I've already spoil myself before I started to read the book from the beginning, but still, when I moved to "that" part…I can't conceal my emotions!!!!!! SCREAMING IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE CLASS!!!! (Oh! Don't worry, it's break time, I didn't read in class.)
This, is how I felt for Shazi and Khalid. Khalid truly thought Shazi as an equal, that's even better. Cause still in this world, men still wanted to overpower women.
Some secrets are safer behind lock and key.
What's so interesting about this book? Other characters. Although my beloved Khalid and Shazi might lose a bit chapters in this book, but others characters just involved more in this book!!!! Although…Jalal did had a lesser part in this book…since he spent most of his time blaming. But, Despina, Jahandar, Irsa, Traiq and Rahim did have a lot more part. Even I'd wanted to grab some of their throat at the sight of their appearance. But I can't deny that all great books come with villain…even the villain isn't who you expected. Traiq…yes, Shazi's first love. Blind by his cousin's death and the truth that Shazi fell in love with Khalid that he did tons of terrible things, some I can forgive, some I can't. but…well, eventually I did. He was acting like an idiot in this book, following his emotions, please, everyone knows that a man's emotions can't be trusted. Yes, even Khalid. But he came a long way to improve himself, so no matter. You know what? Traiq acted even more childish than Khalid, it's so true that Khalid was bestowed with the gift of wisdom, even he did a great mistake before. However, I think in the end you'll forgive Traiq. Now, Jahandar…Shahrzad's useless father. Utterly useless, only thirst for power and a chance to prove himself. PLEASE!!! THERE ARE TONS OF WAYS TO PROVEN YOURSELF WORTHY YET YOU CHOOSE THE STUPIDEST WAY!!!!
And not to mention he hurt his dearest people around him, yet…he was just as idiot as Remz, both of them, only an unworthy man with selfish dream. Another great things about this book is that when you just forget some minor characters, they appeared!!!! And bring you unexpected, terrible, wonderful plot twists. Such a genius, please, I need more book from Renee Ahdieh. I JUST NEED THEM ALL. Oh! Almost forget, one of the reason why I mentioned that "when you just forget some minor characters, they appeared" including Despina!!! She truly scared us to death, with those clothes and jewels…not to mention her reckless marriage. Oh! (Did I spoil something? Wait till you read it!!!!)

Jammu: Criticising newly nominated Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Ghulam Nabi Azad for, what they alleged, speaking terrorists' language, city MLAs of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), today demanded a CBI inquiry to reveal how Mr Azad has accumulated huge wealth. Addressing a joint presss conference, BJP MLAs Ch. Piara Singh, Ashok Khajuria and Hans Raj Dogra, took strong exception to the statement of Azad in which he has sought arrest of Prime Minister under POTA. BJP MLAs charged PCC chief with speaking language of anti- national forces. ''Azad's remark against Prime Minister are not less than a anti-national act. The way he (Azad) has equated Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee with Pakistani President General Parveez Musharaaf is a clear act of an anti-national'', they said and alleged that Azad with one way or other has been supporting militancy. ''Azad native village Sute is hot bed of militancy and most of the terrorists active in this area are his (Azad's) relatives'', they alleged while labelling serious charges on Azad and his family. BJP MLAs said that PCC was an instrument in the hands of Chief Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah, who first used him against Congress party and now utilising his (Azad's) services to spread communal tension in the State. ''Azad has been enjoying luxuries of a Rajya Sabha member all due to the 'kindness' of Dr Farooq Abdullah. And in return, Azad was using his power as PCC Chief to accomplish Dr Abdullah's nefarious designs'', they said, and recalled how Azad has even weakened Congress in the State to help anti-national forces. Lauching a scathing attack on Azad for fueling Islamic terrorism in the State, BJP MLAs charged Mr Azad with adopting double standard. ''Where was Azad when about three lakh Kashmiri Hindus were forced to leave their homes and hearth. When Kashmiri Hindus were deserting their homes, Azad had maintained criminal silence'', they said. Accusing State Government of meting out step-motherly treatment with Jammu region, BJP MLAs expressed surprise that adequate grants have not been given to the departments meant for the development of Jammu city. They charged the State Government with delaying release of funds for the development and betterment of Jammu region.

text: I have come to realize religion is necessary for a healthy society and has it's place. The problems stem, like most, from decievers, con-artists and those who use religion for nefarious agendas. It just has to be controlled or counter-balanced so it does not get out of hand, like anything in society. I have come to this conclusion because a lot of the wholesome, grounded, honest and salt-of-the-earth values and lifestyle is perpetuated by sects of religion. No smoking, drinking, profanity, immorality etc is mostly upheld by religious teachings. Those who are moral, honest, in committed relationships and value family etc are usually religious people to some degree. Its unfortunate that is the case but i have noticed that when most people are not associated seriously with a religion, they tend to think its okay to be amoral. It's bizarre and sickening but that is how most people tend to be. If it was not for the positive cultural values (not the negative) that religion has fostered, i can see that a proverbial sodom and gomorrah would even be more the norm than it is, which is scary and horrific in itself. The truth is just as religion can get out of control or be used negatively by some or at times even groups so can the lack of religion and a known/designated cultural guideline or sect of moral values be equally harmful for society. It is disgusting how rampant broken homes, shallow relationships/fornication, disrespect, profanity, vanity, alcoholism/drugs etc is. Its degenerate, unhealthy and insanity. I respect some christian sects who are more grounded and humble who live a healthy lifestyle based on ethical values, value oaths and hold things in life sacred and respectful. There are very few who dont smoke, drink, use profanity, care more about umportant issues over shallow/vain, truly believe in humane values and marriage oaths and relationships are serious (as in they do not use people or go through people like toilet paper) or sleep around because its cheap/disgusting etc. They also are respectful toward others. Even entertainment choices are healthy not just physically but ethically and emotionally (wholesome). These are the sane people now. By god, like a true beacon of civility and good left in the world of lurid and garish trash values.

Let's face it, I'm not what you would call a technology kinda girl. Granted I've learned how to blog which shows I'm not completely void of ability… the point is, there are three technological devices that I would like to say, (big step), "I love you" to:
Blackberry, Crackberry, Dingleberry, whatever you may be called-
I love you for the obvious reasons; instant access to e-mail, bbm and great picture quality. BUT… I also love you on a deeper level (I mean you were a gift from someone very special to my heart). Your tiny keys, they really are so tiny, have given me a solid appreciation for just how nimble my oversized German fingers are and can be. While I don't doubt all of this tiny typing may lead to my eventual battle with arthritis, I feel so superior to our monkey cousins, thumbs… hah, wonderful, useful thumbs. Also I have to thank you for saving me from all those potential meaningless conversations in public. I now just stare at your screen, looking perplexed and push buttons, it works, no one bothers me, thanks.
Bluetooth, Earpiece, Cancer Causer, yeah you-
I love you! I don't own one, nor do I ever care to own one. In fact I've never used one in my life. However, because everyone else has one now people no longer stare or judge when they catch me mumbling nothings to myself. What was once a socially awkward habit is now completely acceptable. I feel liberated. I've stopped mumbling and now talk full volume, why the hell not?
Tivo (do you have a nickname?)-
I know, a lot of people love you so this isn't going to come as a surprise… but, I love you. Because I'm unemployed I have zero time to sit around and watch meaningful reality shows. Thanks to you, Tivo, I don't have to juggle my already crazy schedule of sleeping in, facebooking, beach visiting, blogging and sand pile climbing around my favorite television series. I can wait and watch them all when I finally have the time!
