Elements of Hungary's new border rules are "really alarming," the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) said.
UNHCR expressed its concerns at the time devoted to assessing asylum seekers and their return to Serbia.
Erno Simon, a spokesman for the UNHCR in Hungary, cited Hungary's decision to designate Serbia as a "safe third country" for refugees to be sent back to and criminal punishments for asylum seekers caught crossing the border illegally.
He also questioned Hungarian statements that authorities would deal with asylum requests in a matter of hours, which he described as a "very small period of time" for such complex cases, while denying them official access to the country. "There are many details of the new law, the new legislation, which are really alarming," Simon told Reuters.
Meanwhile, local media reported that at least 22 migrants trying to reach Greece by boat, including 11 women and four children, drowned Tuesday when their vessel sank off Turkey's southwest coast.
Turkish coast guards recovered nine more bodies, bringing the toll to 22, and rescued 211 migrants from the wooden boat which set off from the southwestern resort town of Datca for the nearby Greek island of Kos, Dogan news agency reported.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

It's just another check for the King, who could be pocketing $30 million from the Apple-Beats deal. The show's cast is set to include Jessie T. Usher as lead, Ronreaco Lee, Erica Ash and Tichina Arnold. Check out the trailer above.

Once, there was a son who wished his father dead, took his money, and ran.
And once, there was a father who abandoned his child, a mother who said she was through, a friend who betrayed the most intimate secret.
Forgiveness actually means reaching into the depths of your pain, to do a kind of surgery there, a cutting and shifting and sealing.
I've carried around the sting of unsought reconciliation, where there are uncleaned corners of dust and dark.
And where there was once fruit, it is only barren space.
Forgiveness is pulling up the soil and the roots of the plant that's in dire need of new life, and it's planting that shoot in brand new soil.
There, we learn how to trust God to bring us healing and reconciliation, even if it doesn't always lead to restoration.
Restoration is putting something back in its place, re-instating its former role in your life.
Forgiveness doesn't always allow that, for all our seasons that change and our hearts that are constantly molding themselves into some new shape.
But the act of reconciliation, or conciliation, is that active surgery, that mediation, that hard and long work of forgiving over and over again.
In Jan Karon's novel Somewhere Safe With Somebody Good, the main character of the book, Episcopal priest Father Tim, reflects on the long and hard process of forgiving his own father:
"Love is an act of endless forgiveness," he says.
Since reconciliation is constant, we trust that in that constant opening, often painful, God is there.
God is freedom in forgiving from the deepest part of who we are, even past the pain of acknowledging our hurt.
He is the softener of hearts, and the builder of relationship.
In all of it, He is there, in the deep and painful process of pulling and tearing and re-planting in good soil.
And there, the light of the sun, the fresh drink, gives new life, the slow and steady reconciling reach toward heaven and toward each other.
There will be tears and screams, hard truths and pain.
But then there may be fruit.
The root of my deep pain may never be fully solved, fully reconciled, fully restored.
But what we choose to let happen inside of us, turning our pain to the light, that's what keeps us human, keeps us breathing, keeps us reaching for all the wide open, holy spaces.
And oh, how we need them.

Friday, 07 November 2014 09:40 AM
NEW YORK (AP) — Abercrombie & Fitch is still having trouble getting teens to buy its clothing.
Sales fell more than expected in September and October as fewer people headed to the mall and shoppers shunned clothing with the retailer's logo on it. It also reported weaker sales at its European stores, especially at its Hollister brand.
Abercrombie's stock fell nearly 13 percent in premarket trading.
Revenue fell 12 percent to $911.4 million in the quarter ending Nov. 1. That's below the $982.4 million analysts expected, according to FactSet.
It expects adjusted third-quarter earnings of between 40 cents per share and 42 cents per share before unusual items. Analysts expected 68 cents per share.
The New Albany, Ohio-based retailer has been trying to win customers back by removing logos from its clothing and closing some stores.

It was learnt that the man, simply identified as Mr Agosu, died of an undisclosed illness on Friday in a hospital and his remains were deposited at the morgue of the Badagry General Hospital.
News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that the news of his resurrection, however, broke out on Sunday evening as members of his Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM, were preparing tents for his wake keep.
NAN learnt that a worker at the morgue suddenly heard that a dead man was coughing from inside the morgue and contacted the hospital management who ordered a doctor to carry out a test on the man.
On examination, it was discovered that the man was still breathing and thereafter directed that he should be admitted for treatment.
Deputy Medical Director, Badagry General Hospital, Dr Tunji Olabuntu, confirmed the incident, saying: "It is true that the man resurrected after three days in the mortuary, but he was not originally admitted in our hospital."
He said the body of the man was brought to the hospital morgue from outside and not a patient of Badagry General Hospital.

- For the Dark Souls III variant, see Shield of Want.
The King's Shield is a Medium Shield in Dark Souls II.
In-Game Description
- Shield of Vendrick, King of Drangleic.
- The great king shut himself away, and was soon reduced to a mere shell. Just what was it that he yearned to protect?
In-Game Description
- Shield of Vendrick, King of Drangleic.
- One fragment of Dark, having taken human shape, became obsessed with the King's soul.
- Impelled by its own cravings, it sought souls, and strove to make the strength of the Giants its own.
Trade the Soul of the King with Weaponsmith Ornifex.
This shield is essentially an improvement of the Royal Kite Shield, across all stats, except weight, and is comparable to the Drakekeeper's Shield. It is widely considered the best low-weight shield with 100% physical damage reduction after being fully upgraded, although it can be harder to reinforce due to upgrading with Petrified Dragon Bones.
The King's Shield has an innate Fire infusion and thus cannot be infused by McDuff.
This shield, as unusual as it seems, makes for a rather-formidable strike weapon.

"Simplex Won't Play"
Curtis writes:
Thanks Curtis:
The next test, is to listen for the action of the valve itself. With the trackerbar covered with tape, and while pumping the pedals, poke a hole in the tape to allow one note to 'play'. Even if the note does not play, if the pouch is good, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the valve change state as you cover and uncover the hole. Typically, if you can hear the valve change state, then the pouch is at least operating - even if it has a small rip or hole. The only problem is, a pouch that is not 100% air-tight usually doesn't have enough force (when activated) to lift the valve all the way to the "on" position. And, that being the case, lots of vacuum will leak out (or more accurately - the atmosphere will leak in) through the half-opened valve - creating a serious vacuum leak. It only takes a few poorly operating valves to reduce the efficiency of a player system to below 50% - at which point it basically stops working, regardless of how fast you pump the pedals.
To help people determine the basic condition of the Stack - which houses the valves and striker pneumatics (or in your case the block valve/pneumatics), go to the Testing the Player page at:
Also check out the page called "Simplex Problems" at:
Hope this helps.....
Curtis write again:
Thanks again Curtis:
Remove the wooden pieces of the piano that cover the player mechanism. (front board, music desk, fallboard) Once the player stack is 'exposed', you'll see the upper section (see simplex3.jpg) It's held in place by four large screws (two on each side) which are located at the base of the action mounts (see simplex1.jpg). Also, disconnect the two control rods (at the right end of the action) and the air motor hose. Also disconnect the spoolbox bracket between the spoolbox and the plate. Lastly, disconnect the large vacuum supply hose leading to the stack (left hand side - accessed from the lower half of the piano). Then lift the action out of the piano.
Now remove all 26 perimeter screws. Remove the valve cover. Now you can see the 176 screws that hold valve blocks to the stack. They are in pairs. Remove a set at the extreme left or right of the stack to loosen a block. Be sure to loosen the rod that goes between the block and the flange finger, and move it out of the way. Now you should be able to remove the block. Once it's in hand, get to a very bright light and look inside of the rectangular hole where the block mounts to the stack. Inside of that hole you should be able to see the pouch. By blowing air into the third larger of the three holes (still looking at the mounting surface) you should see the pouch inflate, and you may be able to see if it has any holes or rips. By putting a tight-fitting hoses over the pouch hole and blowing in, you should be able to hear any air that is escaping from the pouch/pouch well. Mind you, it should be air-tight.
Whether or not you use this information, I will use this email and the previous email to create another web page at Player-Care..... (This is how new pages get created....)

I really didn't have anything planned to post today so I'm just putting up some filler. Here are some things that are going on in my life currently.
*I finished A Prayer for Owen Meany yesterday so that review will be up tomorrow.
*I'm currently reading Something New and will be starting Star Diaries today so that I have both an e-book and a print book going at the same time.
*My sister is getting married on Halloween and I was dragged into being a bridesmaid so I only have a few weeks left to find a dress. And it has to be purple. *shudder*
*I know it's only October, but I'm already waiting for spring to start again. It's frakking cold in Rochester. Brrrrrr.
*My job at the bookstore is going great. It's nice to finally have extra money lying around. And I haven't bought a single book yet (despite all of the great sale prices). I think I deserve a medal.
*Last week was my six month anniversary. :)
I promise there will be really content tomorrow morning.

Hells bells, infidels all part of my crew…
It seems that the older I get, I start looking at the weekends with more and more reverence… almost like Christmas Eve to a 6 year old.
It's not even like my weekends are all that awetabulous, they're mostly just OK… but I'm not working.
It's not even that I hate my job, it's not torturous, it's not like I'm on the chain gang or cleaning out porta potties. I have a pretty low stress job (as long as no one fucks with me), I work with several people I like, I can get a few minutes here and there to entertain you… so really, it could be and has been worse.
So what's my problem?
Maybe it's a rut?
Here's an article about being in a rut and how to climb out.
Maybe I'm not in a rut after all.
Bored is probably a better word for it. I don't mind my job, but it doesn't excite me, I can't say that I look forward to it. I just do it. Like I'm expected to.
I need excitement!!! And probably a career change.
I'd love to go back to school; I really need to seriously look at the possibilities.
It looks like the snowpocalypse isn't really coming to fruition either. I was hoping to get some snowy cemetery photos soon, doesn't look like that's going to happen…
Maybe I'll just go to bed for the weekend!!!

Square Meal Says…
Named after Aesop's Fables, the whole place has been theatrically designed for full-on fun, with lots of books and book-themed motifs, patterned screens, sweeping staircases, floral-shaped chandeliers and a bathtub ("with extracts") above. Drinks include boutique beers and fairy tale concoctions such as Princess Rossini (Tanqueray gin, sloe, the collector vermouth, blackberry, vanilla and Prosecco)Read more…
Just Opened London Says…
Working with talented London designers including House of Hackney for the wallpaper and Tom Dixon to the light fittings, The Fables aesthetic is truly unique. Then there's the cocktail list. With the likes of George's Marvellous Medicine (a fruity, floral mix of vodka, apple juice, poppy liqueur and seeds served in a swing-top 'potion' bottle) and Princess in the Tower (a classic champagne cocktail with violet and peach bitter) through to an impressive 'skinny' cocktail list, the decision process is not likely to be easy.Read more…

The Auto collections of Las Vegas is stored inside the Quad Casino on the strip, formerly the Imperial Palace. The collection contains about 200 cars some of which are for sale. The collection contains cars from the 30's thru the 80's, but most are Rolls Royce's from the 60's and 70's. I recently visited the collection and wanted to show some of the cars I thought where interesting, sorry if you like Rolls Royce's cars but they all looked the same and weren't very exciting to me.
The first car I wanted to show is a 1986 Ford Rs200 Evolution. This is one of only 24 made. The 2.1 liter Cosworth built single turbo 4 cylinder puts out over 600 horsepower. From the days of Group B rally racing Ford built these to go racing in the European woods. It only take 2.1 seconds to get to 60 mph.
The Wheels measure only 16 inches (big for the early 80's) and a 245/45 ZR16 isn't a popular size but not impossible to find. The cross drilled rotors must have been state of the art back in the day.
This 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC prototype was built on a 275 GTS chassis but now contains a 330 GTC motor, and was a test bed for the Ferrari factory. The car was later converted to a full 330 mechanicals and sold in late 1966, but contains many special features not found on any other 330 GTC's.
I love wagons, and if I had the money nothing is cooler than a 1957 Buick Caballero Wagon. It has 455ci Nailhead motor, and was only made for 2 years.
The 1983 Lancia LC-2 was powered by Ferrari and raced in the Group C class in World Sportscar Championship. The 3.5 liter v8 produced more than 720hp and was faster than the nearest competitor the Porsche 956, but ultimately was less reliable than the 956's.
This is the only remaining 1963 Shelby Cooper Monaco King Cobra left of the 6 that were made. The Car has been verified by the Shelby registry and is complete with it's 289 v8 producing 400hp.
This car has been raced by some of America's premier drivers as a run up to the Can Am series of races in the early 60's. It sold In 2014 for 1.650 million at an Auction in Arizona.
My favorite 90's supercar is the Jaguar XJ220. The exterior still looks fresh and modern 20 years after it was made, but…
the interior looks so dated, there is so much grey and no refinement befitting a $200K car at the time.
What is more American than a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Seville? This model has a 365ci motor with 325 hp and an automatic. The tan leather looked great with the maroon paint.
There wasn't many American Muscle cars in the collection the day I visited. The collection does change as cars get sold but, the one that caught my eye was this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. The car is all original, carries a freshly rebuilt 440 ci motor.
Most people don't know that Fiats were sold in America before 2011. This 1971 Fiat 850 Berlina Coupe was sold new in California with all of it's factory Abarth parts installed.
It takes a certain type of person to drive around in a 3 wheeled car. The 1934 Morgan Super sport will gather a lot of attention.
The Legendary Chrysler 300C convertible was at the time one of the fastest and most powerful cars sold in America. The 392ci engine was one of the first to use Chrysler's Hemi design from WWII in a car and propelled the car to 60 in under 8 seconds. This example is one of only 484 convertibles made.

"Doctors Without Borders".
"Doctors Without Borders" takes great pride in its commitment to help the helpless. Yet its president, one Heather Culbert, goes the whole mile. In fact she goes beyond that. For Heather there are no borders, no limits. Not even the border of simple human decency is one she will not tear down. For you see, Heather is an abortionist. And, obviously, one of the rankest hypocrites in modern times, posing as a great humanitarian while chopping up infants in the womb. Apparently Doctors Without Borders don't help all the helpless.
|The Noble One
This all came out in the recent case of Mary Wagner who, in what her lights told her was an appropriate response to this slaughter, has defiantly ignored the draconian Canadian laws which protect the guilty and punish the innocent, when it comes to the crime of abortion. Whatever the wisdom of Miss Wagner's approach to this serious problem of the self-extermination of the human race it cannot be denied that at least one flagrant hypocrite has been revealed to the public.
Donate to "Doctors Without Borders" ? I don't think so.
Heather's face, hardly one to make a male's heart go atwitter, is an interesting study in contradictions. There is something half-crooked about that smile that does not inspire confidence. But I'll leave those musings to others. As for me, if she was presented to me as a blind date I'd suddenly remember an appointment elsewhere.
So how does Culbert in her own mind reconcile her work with "Doctors" and her more lucrative work as an exterminator? By getting real nasty with those who point out the great contradiction in her life.
Such is the dreadful mindset of Heather Culbert.

The animals will munch on pumpkin treats and play with pumpkins, and the kids can ride ponies wearing Halloween costumes. There's even a brand new addition to the Wild Zoo Halloween this year - the Scarecrow Safari. Ever want to touch a millipede, cock roach or snake? The Australian Adventure area will have a hands-on area where the kids can do just that. The bat house will be open for those brave enough to enter, and the Great Barrier Reef aquarium will be open as well. During Wild Zoo Halloween, the train ride takes on a new twist with the telling of the Tale of the Twisted Tree as the train putters along through the tunnel and into the Franke Park woods. Even in the daytime, its enough to give you goosebumps. The main part of the zoo will be open, as well as portion of the African Journey and Australian Adventure. The Wild Zoo Halloween is open October 14-16, 20-23, and 27-31 from noon to 5 p.m. daily. Cost for adults is $4 and children are $8. Zoo members get $2 off per person every day.

K is for Kill Your Darlings?

- Josh Hoyt said...
Ooh i like this. Great post on the importance of reworking scenes and to make those nice pieces that we want to include. I agree that it seems things have gotten to the point where we are trying to produce the same thing without individual voice. I like how you talk about the importance of not getting rid of and not keeping it the same but changing it.
- 13 April 2011 at 01:00
- Alleged Author said...
I definitely agree that screenplays have become dull and mechanical for some movies. Death, death, death doesn't always equal a great movie. Saw, anyone?
- 13 April 2011 at 01:21
- Kimberly said...
Great post. I do that a lot, I'll save out sentences, paragraphs or even whole sections that may work better somewhere else. Sometimes it is hard to get rid of them, though. ;)
- 13 April 2011 at 01:35
- McKenzie McCann said...
My friends and I call it 'filler.' We think it's just as important as the more action-heavy bits. A reader needs time to breathe and subconsciously absorb the characters in their average surroundings. Racing action is exciting, but a slow jog can be effective too.
- 13 April 2011 at 02:07
- Michelle Teacress said...
In the end, we've got to follow our gut on what to leave vs. what to take, don't we.
You've made some very good points!
Have a nice week. :)
- 13 April 2011 at 02:26
- Kari Marie said...
I really like what you've mentioned here. THe idea of enriching your novel in this way adds to character voice as well. The reader can have a moment right along with the character - pulling them farther in. Love it.

Dammit, Moody, this is the second time you've scooped me on subject. Well, I'm letting mine stand, to be posted tomorrow AM in the US West coast. And though you've made some good points, I'm still murder-minded (rubbing hands together and chortling with maniacal glee.)

I agree. I never throw anything away. Especially if it's a flower pot. You never know when you can reuse it later. (I got the metaphor.)
- 13 April 2011 at 10:11
- Fiona Faith Maddock said...
Good on you! It's time we writers fought back against the writing police. Bring back the delightful adjective and, dare I say it, the contemptible adverb!
- 13 April 2011 at 10:31
- Darlyn (Your Move, Dickens) said...
I've heard the phrase "Kill your darlings" so often that your point-of-view felt like a breath of fresh air. The difficulty is in finding the right balance between cutting too much and too little, but I guess it's different for every writer. :)
- 13 April 2011 at 12:24
- Melissa Dean said...
Great advice! I'm working on this right now!
- 13 April 2011 at 12:36
- Stina Lindenblatt said...
This is great advice. Most of the time I need to kill my darlings for a good reason. But this has given some of them hope. :)
- 13 April 2011 at 12:59
- Misha said...
Hehehe I love the way you look at it. Have to admit, my mind leapt to killing important characters when I read the title.
Anyway, I agree with you that something doesn't have to be removed as much as moved. I've moved some stuff around in my rewrite, and it makes a significant difference.
That pot plant will add depth to the scene if you introduce it at the right place.
- 13 April 2011 at 13:33
- Lydia K said...
I keep my "darlings" for a while to see if I can find a better home for them in the story somewhere else. Sometimes I'm right for keeping them, sometimes not. But I agree--all rules, including the "kill your darlings" one, are meant to be broken. Judiciously, I might add. :)
- 13 April 2011 at 14:27
- Michael Di Gesu said...
Great point. I have, in so many instance written something worthwhile and HATED to delete it. But, like you say find another way and I usually did. I could never DELETE MY "DARLINGS!"
Well done, Mood.
- 13 April 2011 at 16:29
- Anonymous said...
Thanks for poking holes in that old platitude. I agree there is a time and place for our darlings, but if they are examples of our best writing, why are the experts so eager for us to kill them??
I save mine in a separate file when I realize they don't fit in the particular spot I wrote them, or don't serve to advance the plot. But I always hope I can find a home for them in the orignal story, or use them as inspiration for my next project.
- 13 April 2011 at 17:14
- alberta ross said...
adverbs and adjectives Yay - I have always hated the advice to kill the darlings - I dont mind killing the riff raf but a darling is a darling and there should be a home somewhere for them - well done - I'm with you all the way
- 13 April 2011 at 17:28
- the writing pad said...
Really interesting post - maybe it is better to rework things, so the darling can genuinely live, rather than removing it to a life support machine, telling yourself you really will use it somewhere, sometime...
Very thought provoking - thanks

- Gail M Baugniet said...
I agree that sometimes the darlings must go, especially a long-winded narrative. After reading over a manuscript 20 or more times, the "darlings" jump out and bite you! By then, they start sounding old, and it's easier to remove them.
- 13 April 2011 at 21:31
- Clarissa Draper said...
I like this. Hard to do but so necessary.
- 13 April 2011 at 21:47
- Margo Berendsen said...
Oh, bless you for taking the side of the darlings! What perfectly sensible and wise advice - instead of killing them, make them fit in better. You just brightened my day!
- 14 April 2011 at 15:08

Ooh, I like that you mention some things have to be improved instead of cut. :)

MAMA.codes offers fun and creative after-school coding clubs and holiday workshops for ages 3-8, that support the Computing curriculum. Our unique approach to teaching coding and computational thinking is the ideal launchpad for young children. We use storytelling and jokes to build fluency, plus plenty of "unplugged" physical coding games. We use tablet-based free coding app ScratchJr - so it's helpful, though not essential, if children bring an iPad or Android tablet with them. Children learn generic coding concepts they can transfer to any other coding language.

My apologies for being out of touch lately – with travels, study deadlines, and life in general, I've had a very full plate. I hope to be back up to speed quickly.
And there is a lot to catch up on. This Tuesday, while I was in London for a meeting regarding my phd, two of the most amazing people in the world were meeting (for the first time, I believe) in that very city: H.H. the Dalai Lama and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.But more on that and Tibet and Burma (Myanmar) will come soon.
First, to American Buddhism, which has been in the news of late. Shortly after the NYT story about the death at Diamond Mountain, Geshe Michael Roach's 'University', ABC's Nightline aired a segment as well. Clearly there are lessons that need to be learned from this. Hopefully a weariness for charismatic teachers promising the moon will find its way into the fabric of American Buddhism so that deaths like this will not happen again. Lama Surya Das, one of Americs's best known Tibetan Buddhist practitioners and teachers, even recently provided a (somewhat tepid) discussion of the topic.
A second opinion piece comes from James Atlas in the New York Times, and is called "Buddha's Delight." It is basically an account of his brief retreat and, aside from identifying Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac as "among [the] early American proponents" of engaged Buddhism (that's certainly news to me) and referring to Jewish converts to Buddhism as "Juddhists" instead of the popular "JuBu", it seems innocuous. But at the same time I didn't find it terribly illuminating, either. It has been a few years, but it reminded me a tiny bit of Dinty Moore's book The Accidental Buddhist, about a journalist who tries out various Buddhist practices. The book, as I recall, was much better.

The Congress, eventually, did what it should have done in the first place to stem the disaffection within its Arunachal Pradesh unit, i.e. remove Nabam Tuki from chief ministership. But the Congress is not known to heed voices of discontent within its ranks. Rather, what the party is known for is its top-down hierarchical organisational structure, strictly controlled from Delhi. It is known to practice a durbari culture that has time and again propelled the party to slight regional leaders and pay a high electoral price for such neglect.
Despite these steep – and repeatedly felt – political costs, the Congress however continues to solely depend on the Gandhi family and its loyalists to bail the party out from crises. And crisis is what now largely defines the Congress party – whether in the form of periodic revelations of scams suggesting the direct or indirect involvement of top party leaders, or rebellions frequently breaking out in the party's regional units.
Following Arunachal Pradesh's change of leadership, The Indian Express report on Sunday said: "The Congress on Saturday pulled off a coup in Arunachal Pradesh bringing the rebels back into its fold, six months after they deserted the party under the leadership of Kalikho Pul – the Nabam Tuki government fell as a consequence."
The eleventh hour leadership change indeed carried the imprint of a desperate face-saver, though the Congress maintained that it had been engaged in a dialogue with the rebel leaders for over a month. However, why the party bosses, particularly the high command at 10 Janpath, did not open a line of communication even earlier is a question that is still unanswered. A timely intervention by the Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Vice-President Rahul Gandhi perhaps could have made stymied the BJP's plans of engineering defections and using them to serve its political ambitions in the North East.
It is true that this time around the last-minute negotiations with Tuki and the rebels have extricated the Congress from the potential embarrassment it could have faced on the floor of the House in case of a floor test. But serious questions about the Congress' arrogant organisational culture will continue to haunt it in the weeks and months to come. Has the party learnt any valuable lessons from the recent crises in Arunachal Pradesh, and before that, in Uttarakhand? So far, the answer seems to be in the negative.
In fact, it seems to have become a practice in the Congress to careen from one crisis to another – especially in the states. The high command's lack of interest in nurturing home-grown regional leaders has already cost the party dearly. Recall in this context the party's failure, in Assam, to retain within its fold the effective former minister and state Congress leader Himanta Biswa Sarma (who joined the BJP.) His departure was significant to the party's subsequent electoral loss in the recently concluded elections in May. However notwithstanding the accumulated costs of ignoring grievances of state leaders, the Congress continues on a path of self-destruction.
Following its disastrous performance in the last Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh (UP) in 2012, the Congress should have used the next five-years to build up local leadership in the state. Instead the party is now projecting the thrice-elected former Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, as its Chief Ministerial face in next year's Assembly elections. This tendency to ignore party sentiments on the ground holds true in most states for the Congress. Contrast this with the BJP's strategy and its electoral success – a large part of which can be attributed to the emergence of powerful state leaders who are nurtured by the party's central leadership. While inner-party dissension and the rise of factions are inevitable corollaries of any organisation, ignoring them for a prolonged period of time, can only damage a political party: a fact that the fate of the Congress is making apparent to us today.
Even in the other states of the North East, the Congress is in trouble. A section of Congress legislators and leaders in Meghalaya believe that the present three-term Chief Minister Mukul Sangma should be replaced with a new face before the state heads into Assembly polls in 2018. The Congress high command also had to stave off a crisis in Manipur recently when a section of disgruntled legislators revolted against Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh.
The common complaint cutting across various disaffected factions relates to the party leadership's indifference. Usually – if we follow the general pattern – the Congress lets intra-party disquiet simmer and escalate into a full-blown rebellion before getting into crisis management mode. Unfortunately, in our current political context, this approach is simply not enough to revive a party on the brink of irrelevance.

Volume 13: November 24, 2002
folks...believe it or not, it is I, Gorpo, here once again
bless you with my infinite wisdom. Or is it to be tortured
by your insolent
nagging? I can't remember, one or the other. I'll have to
ask my press
agent. Now, on to the Q&A...
Dear Gorpo,
I have a slight problem. See, I got two girls that love me,
or atleast say they do. I've been talking to both of them,
you know, talking game and stuff. But only one of them. .
.well, you proberly know what happen with me and her. *Evil
Grin* Anyway, the thing is, I don't want to hurt either one
of them but I have to choose or I'll go nuts. No, I'm not
in love with either of them, I just say "love ya lil'
boo" like as a friend and they say the whole "I
love you too" thing. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cajun Moron
I can assure you that if you persist in referring to both
girls as "lil' boo," your problem will resolve itself
quite shortly - when they knee you in the groin and leave
you for using such a ridiculous term.
Dear Gorpo,
Your words are always a great deal of fun to read, but I sense
a similarity in tone to the Ferengi Pelgar from the Star Trek
website. Is it possible that the filthy creature has decided
to gain fame by pretending to be you? Or, Sorceress Forbid,
could you and he be... ONE AND THE SAME! I shudder to think
of it, for it is ridiculous. You're far wiser than he with
the lobes.
And tell Cringer that the beach near my home isn't a litterbox.
I expect that kind of behavior from Katrina and Panthor, but
Sy-Clone's lesser cousin, Ty-wist the Dizzy
I am not nor ever have been known as Pelgar. Sounds like my
kind of guy, though.
As for Cringer, next time that stinker comes near your beach,
attack him with a broom. Always works for me.
Dear Gorpo,
hi my name is umm....Anndora (yeah, that's
it) and I have a problem with my love life. I hang around
with this friend of mine all day, she is good in a fight and
whenever I need someone to talk to she's there. She's got
the best purple hair and is really nice, by the power of She-Ra
I dunno what to do...wait no, not by the power of She-Ra I
mean Greyskull...yeah...what should I do about approaching
You should attempt to consummate this relationship IMMEDIATELY,
on video, and send it directly to me, care of this website.
Dear Gorpo,
Why do you look like a purple version of.......Mel Gibson?
Because my skin is wrinkled and leathery beneath this hat?
Yo Gorpo,
I was considering making a custom action figure of you, but
I'm afraid you'll sue me and crush me with the long arm of
Eternian Law. I don't want to have to face Law-yor, Judge-Mental
and Jur-ror! So any way to get a legitimate Gorpo Copyright,
Trademark and Official Seal
of Approval and a pat on the head?
I will gladly sign off on my likeness, provided you send ME
a custom of myself as well...
Dear Gorpo,
What the hell is up with this column? There was only one question
regarding He-Man. What a lame waste of space. I come to He-Man.Org
for MOTU info, not lame advice to fake problems. Weird.
Jeremy Dodge
Yes, the growth of the far right in European politics IS troubling,
and no doubt will have far-reaching consequences for the development
and direction of the EU in the twenty-first century.
Dear Gorpo,
power heman
with ight
Another good point. Perhaps the collapse of the strong conservative
elements in Austria represents an opportunity for more countries
to find their way
back to moderate coalition governments.
Dear Gorpo,
Where is Dree Elle???
I'm waiting for your answer!!
Last I heard, Dree and Orko were in an "off" period,
though that happens every other week, so who knows what's
going on now. Seems she's really pressing for an engagement
ring, but Orko's waiting for a raise from the king before
coughing up the cash. Fat chance. Randor's cheaper than an
Andreenid stripper!
Dear Gorpo,
I have a couple of questions regarding He-Man:
1. I understand that Teela, plus half the cast of "She-Ra,"
is attracted to He-Man. I understand that you, as Orko's brother,
probably are in the position to receive a lot of juicy info
about He-Man's love life, so I am curious: have any women
from OTHER cartoon series been attracted to the Big Guy, or
vice versa?
2. How come Prince Adam doesn't have more friends his age
to hang around with? I mean, the kid's only 16 for crying
out loud! He needs friends his age that he can play football
with, go surfing with, spy on Teela in the
shower with, make prank phone calls with, try to buy liquor
with a fake ID with, TP Snake Mountain, etc. with. This is
gonna sound kinda weird, since last time I checked I have
two X chromosomes, but if I were Adam, I'd start
to get annoyed with having Teela as my only companion after
a while. (Speaking of which, doesn't SHE have any girlfriends
to do stuff with?)
Lastly, what's under that cloak, if anything? ;p
Swan Princess
1.) Yes, it IS interesting how He-Man never seems to get it
on with all these women that salivate over him, isn't it?
But he seems to spend an awful lot of time around Man-At-Arms.
I'm not suggesting anything, no, just making some observations.
As for women from other 'toons, not that I know of, although
he IS
good friends with Smithers from The Simpsons.
2.) Personally, I'd NEVER be annoyed having Teela as my companion...
I'd show you what was under the cloak, but the Eternian Supreme
Court has ruled that doing so is a crime punishable by no
less than thirty (30) days in the royal dungeon. Pffft. It
was nothing they hadn't seen before! Well, at least not TECHNICALLY...
Well, that wraps it up for this month. Send more emails my
way, and I promise I'll get the next column out a wee bit
faster. Until then, remember,
I have the power!

Pet of the Day
Five years old
Mountain Horned Dragon
Crossett, Arkansas, USA
bought him as a girl before I knew a lot about them, hence the girl name. He is my second Mountain Horned Dragon I have owned. I always loved lizards and always wanted one. I never knew they existed until I saw them in the pet store. I googled the care sheet and decided to take the first one home. Unfortunately he passed away, I got Rhea about a month before he passed.
Rhea has been a spitfire and full of personality, he went to a presentation with me and let an entire first grade at my daughter's school pet him (that's well over 100 kids), he was so patient and calm. He never flared up until we got out at the house and it was raining! I like to bring more awareness about the little lizards, they make wonderful pets! Not a lot is known about them, they thrive in temperatures between 74-78, high humidity, and have to have movement from food and water to eat or drink. So mine have a waterfall/air stone for water and eat live insects right out of my hand.
Rhea has two little cagemates named Loki and Pandora. They are arboreal lizards. So they usually climb, a favorite place being on top of my head or the top of the curtains. He does change colors depending on mood, so yes, all these photos are all the same animal.
He is full grown, He is one of the smaller subspecies of Acanthosaura. I can roughly guess he is about five inches from nose to vent - not including his long tail, which he sometimes wiggles!

$6 Suggested Tip
Prelude to the Collapse is the Aquaerials fourth EP of atmospheric instrumental music with six new pieces that play more like soundtracks than songs. Dark and theatrical, with layers of piano and a haunting, apocalyptic sound.
All songs recorded by Mark Swanson in the basement at 42 Alten between August - November 2016. All songs written by Mark Swanson except "Lux Aeterna", written by Clint Mansell.

I have been talking about this super secret collaboration I am working on with Becky and Dan. Becky is an illustrator herself and Dan is a writer. I have never managed to give a passion project out of my hands before - it's really hard to trust others in a collaboration when you're not used to it. So how did we get this page done in a collaboration:
I want to tell you a bit more about it. But since it's super secret you have to forget everything really quickly after you read it, ok? Ok!
Anyway, the rough outline of our work together looks like this: We had a rough idea of the story a while ago. When we asked Dan to help us with the sript, we started meeting up. At those meetings, Dan is always great help in breaking down our ideas into actual story structure. We do that step by step, but we have a good idea of the full story. The details though are filled in with the time. What is the rough story. Well, let me put it this way: It's a horror-murder-mystery set in a fantasy setting with a female main character and parody elements. Anyway, I don't want to tell much more.
Based on the first script we send each other suggestions in case something might not work visually. I create a storyboard based on the script, as demonstrated here - in this page our main character catches a vandal scribbling a penis on a tavern sign and arrests him. The rough storyboard helps a lot to break everything down visually and is absolutely necessary for the work flow.
We check out the storyboard in a group meeting and try to figure out if it works and if anything is missing. If it's ok, I make the pencils which can look like this - as you can see I add some notes in color for Becky, who is the inker, to ask her to improve certain areas or completely redraw them, to add details or to suggest where to bubble is placed.
Becky then inks it, and I love how she does it. She usually improves the anatomy and the folds in the clothes and all the details. It's a great feeling to know that she will take good care of the pencil. She adds her own stylistic elements without undermining my own. I asked her to work with very clean, closed outlines in order to color it the way I'm used to - so no shadows in the ink phase, they are all added in the color phase which comes next.
The color is added by me. I love working with Becky's outlines, she knows that I like all my outlines closed so I can work with the magic wand as I'm used to. I usually work with at least five layers: Outline, base color, shadow, shine, light effects and sometimes special effects such as fire, fog, smoke are added too.
We haven't added the bubbles and text yet - we will do that once the first batch of drawings is done. But hey, only about 120 pages to go. So you can expect this comic in about 1 1/2 years. But we will keep you updated. This will be BAD ASS.
