Multi-talented Ann Duquesnay (DU-k-nay), best known for her Tony Award-winning performance in the hit Broadway musical "Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk,"(1996) may be getting off easy these days at the George Street Playhouse. She has not been asked to either compose any new music or augment any of the late and great composer Julie Styne's score for "Hallelujah, Baby!," the 1967 Tony Award-winning musical currently revised and updated by the show's original author Arthur Laurents. After talking with the musical theater star in the green room before rehearsal, I came to the conclusion that she would, if asked, come through with a few extra notes. "Yes, I compose. It's a gift," she acknowledges. The other gift she says is Laurents. "He's an incredible man at 87. What a joy he is to work with." I detect a sense of relief in her voice that at this time in her career she only has contribute her phenomenal voice to play the role of "Momma" and sing the music of one of Styne's best, but also least known, scores that features the lyrics of Comden and Green.
Duquesnay says that her talent for composing was nurtured in "Spunk," (1990) based on three tales by Zora Neale Hurston, the first show that Duquesnay performed in for director George C. Wolfe at the Public Theater and featured music by Chic Street Man, who also performed. "After ' Spunk,' I was encouraged by Wolfe to write more music and vocal arrangements for 'Noise-Funk.'" This immensely popular Wolfe-Savion Glover song and tap dance collaboration traces the history of the African-American from their journey on slave ships to not being able to get a taxi. Music for the show was also contributed by Daryl Waters and Zane Mark. "We started work with no script, no title, no nothing," she says, sounding almost astonished by this admission.
"I'll be forever grateful to Wolfe for giving me the chance to show what I can do," she says, explaining how Wolfe was impressed with her ability to put music to the dialogue as it was being written and to the prose of vintage newspaper articles about the Black migration. "I even put my own nickname into a song, as well as a memory of my mother shouting down at me to come in from a window in our five story walkup in Harlem when I was a little girl, 'Mootsie, come on up her here girl.'"
Almost spontaneously, Duquesnay starts singing the lyrics of another song from "Noise-Funk" that she says was inspired by her parents, who were sharecroppers in the South and migrated to Harlem when she was five years old.
"Uh huh, Uh huh,
Somethin' from Nothin', Somethin' from Nothin',
Workin' So Hard."
What is immediately evident is the passion that she expresses in her singing and that she shares so willingly. Some of this largesse undoubtedly comes from the determination of her parents to provide a better life and education for their children. "They stayed together. I didn't come from a broken home. They worked hard, had property and sent me to a private school, Saint Jean Baptiste on 75th and Lexington. I was the only black girl in the school. I had a brother, but they are all gone now. It's just me."
In "Hallelujah, Baby!" Duquesnay finds herself traveling through time and once again in a story that presents a view of Black America's struggle for equality. The musical unfolds in a series of decade-spanning episodes in which the characters are always the same age. It follows Georgina and her "Momma" through the challenges of a society struggling with segregation, economic hardships, two world wars and the momentous fight for civil rights.
Duquesnay says that although her mother remains her role model for her strength, she has patterned "Momma" after her aunt, her father's sister by using her physical characteristics. She says, "Like ' Momma' in the show, who doesn't approve of Georgina's beau, my aunt never liked the man I wanted to marry. Racism also exists among black people. In my case it was because he was very dark."
"I'm enjoying doing the role of 'Momma' (originated on Broadway by Lillian Hayman) especially because I was not familiar with the show and have no comparisons to make. Momma is a maid, quite a character and very set in her way. She wants her daughter Georgina (played by Suzzanne Douglas in the role that garnered a Tony for Leslie Uggams) to remain a maid. But the daughter wants to go into show business and be a singing star. Although Momma wants her to be safe, she is no fool. Momma knows the game of life and how to play it."
Duquesnay is comparatively unique among singers in that she has never had any formal training in either composition or voice. Sharing memories with me, she says, "I was only sixteen in the late 1950s and still in school when I won the Amateur Night contest at the Apollo. The Prize was that I got a week booking on stage with Bo Diddly and Screamin' Jay Hawkins."
Despite a voice that has been described as fiercely strong and deeply soulful, Duquesnay says she had always shied away from cabaret and nightclub gigs because you had to face people head on, whereas in theater you have a character to hide behind. Despite this, she chose to make her cabaret debut in a tribute to Billie Holiday at the intimate Rainbow & Stars, on the 65th floor at Rockefeller Center, and conquered another hurdle.
But "theater is my passion," says Duquesnay whose extraordinary and versatile voice has allow her the opportunity to portray such legendary divas as Ma Rainey, Billie Holiday and most recently Alberta Hunter in " Cookin' at the Cookery," for which she received a Drama Desk nomination and Drama League Distinguished Recognition for the Melting Pot Theatre, N.Y. production. "I won't give you my age," she says emphatically, "but unlike many younger singers, I have a sense of who they were. I have been told that I bring the grit and the pathos to those great ladies of blues and jazz." Duquesnay is forthright about her resistance to just being herself on the stage. This, despite the encouragement she receives from friends to produce a CD of her own, something she says she is contemplating. "When I do Alberta Hunter, people always come up to me and ask, 'Where to get a CD? When I tell them in the lobby, they say, I' ve already got Hunter, I want your CD." She tells me, "I'm working on it."
Perhaps it was singing the Blues in her first Broadway show "Blues in the Night" (1982) that inspired her to write a song that came from who she is and not from a character. During the filming of "Marci X," in which she had a featured part, she realized how quickly a song is born. "I was having my makeup applied and a tear fell from my eye. The makeup artist said, 'Oh, don't cry Miss Ann.' And I said, 'That's a great title for a song. The next morning I came back with the song and sang it to her," she says, offering me a sampling that came close to putting a tear in my eye:
You know the world has gotten crazy,
It's not like before,
Don't give up, Keep holdin' on,
Help is on the way, It's over at the door
Don't cry Miss Ann.
Duquesnay had her first taste of stardom in the legendary way. It was during the run of "Bubbling Brown Sugar" starring Cab Callaway at the Westbury Music Fair. "I was playing 'The Blues Lady' and ' The Gospel Lady' and was also the understudy for the lead. During the fourth week of a six-week run, the leading lady Marilyn Johnson was struck by a falling light fixture during curtain calls at the matinee and taken away in an ambulance. I had never rehearsed the part, but had done my homework. I went on that evening. On my way home I looked up at the stars and said to my father, who was deceased but always a big Callaway fan, 'Did you see me? I'm on stage with Cab Calloway." Cab was so pleased with my performance that I played the lead for the rest of the run and for the remainder of the national tour. And yes, Marilyn and I are friends to this day."
Duquesnay made her Broadway debut in "Blues in the Night." (1982) fortifying her love for the blues genre. Further Broadway appearances as Glinda, the good witch in the 1984 revival of "The Wiz," and as Gran Mimi in the Jelly Roll Morton musical "Jelly's Last Jam" (1992) and "It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues" (1999) confirmed Duquesnay as a performer who had, as one critic described, "a voice that can bring down the roof." About her voice, she tells me, "I never had a voice lesson until last year when I had a slight vocal issue. I went for help to vocal coach Joan Lader. Now I do the warm up exercises. Education and training is a good thing, but if you can't get it, don't let go of your dream." You can be sure that Duquesnay has not. One day she may hear a familiar voice calling, "Come on up Mootsie." She will undoubtedly answer, "Not now Momma, I'm still playing."
"Hallelujah, Baby" is a co-production between The George Street Playhouse (October 5 – November 7), 9 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick, N.J. (732 – 246 - 7717 www.GSPonline.org and Washington D.C.'s Arena Stage, where it will move following this engagement.

FreePlay says their ZipCharge battery can give your gadgets hours of battery life after a quick 60 second charge. In terms of an iPod that means 2 hours of playback or 8 hours of standby time for your phone. Obviously there is some variability depending on the product in question, but you should get the picture.
To be clear, the ZipCharge is a external battery that you toss in your bag and plug your devices into when you need to power up. The only caveat to the device is that its total capacity is just 850mAh, which is not enough to fully charge most cell phones, or to be more specific an iPhone. But hey, if you're running out the door and forget to charge both devices, 60 seconds of patience can keep your music jamming for a few more hours and hopefully by then you would have reached your destination or made your way through airport security to one of the many free power ports located at the gate.
As of now the ZipCharge is only available in the UK, but a US version is coming soon. Cost: £49.95 (~$75 US).

Good afternoon everyone…welcome to NHL Trade Deadline-A-Palooza '09! Over the next day or so, like so many of you, I will be glued to NHL Live on XM's Channel 204 and/or The NHL Channel on cable awaiting news of Thrashers trades as they occur! As they happen over the next day or so I'll be updating this blog so keep checkin' in. As always, if you hear of a noteworthy deal that goes down around the league…post it up!
You are all hearby officially deputized as cyber-reporters for this event, so as news breaks…post it up for us all to see.
We are still just over a day away from Wednesday's 3:00 pm trade deadline but there has been a few deals that have gone down already. Yesterday, as I'm sure you've all heard by now, Nic Havelid was sent packing to the New Jersey Devils in return for Anssi Salmela, a 24- year old Nordic blueliner who played for the Finnish national team. This follows the trade that sent Mathieu Schneider to Montreal for draft picks. Both Havelid and Schneider will be UFAs this summer and their being moved came as no real surprise.
As we have discussed, other Thrashers unrestricted free agents that may be playing elsewhere by Wednesday night include Marty Reasoner and Eric Perrin. The latter has made it very clear that he would welcome a change of venue.
I also have this feeling that Kari Lehtonen could be up on the blocks. Recently the team held talks with his agent and now I come to understand that his parents are in town. I could be reading too much into that, but we'll see.
Regardless, I would not be stunned if Hedberg or Kari is dealt away. If it's Moose instead of Kari, then it means the organ-I-zation is comfortable with having Odrej Pavalec on the big-boy squad now and we'll have a Kari-Opie tandem in the net.
Also, there have been some players of note from around the league that have been placed on waivers today.
The Thrashers do not play Wednesday night, and won't until they welcome the Habs to Philips Arena on Friday. So, unlike last year when they were in Montreal on the deadline date, there won't be a mad scramble to call up Wolves players to fill in gaps created by trades.
The following games are on the schedule for tomorrow however…Montreal at Buffalo and Detroit at Colorado.
Last year Dan Kamal posted a blog over on the Thrashers web site indicating his belief that the NHL should schedule no matches on the trade deadline date and I must say that I agree 100% with that. I'd also like to have it where all teams have exactly the same amount of games after the deadline as they go down the stretch. That's probably not possible given that there are so many teams sharing their home arena with NBA teams…as is the case with the Thrashers…but still, I think it'd be a good goal to strive for.
UPDATE: Mar. 3, 1:17 pm: And as sure as hell is hot…as soon as I posted this, I learn that Eric Perrin has been placed on waivers per the TSN link provided above.
UPDATE: Mar. 4, 9:17 am: Dan Kamal was just on Hockey This Morning, (XM-204) with Scott Laughlin. Kamal indicated that he expects DW to be "very busy" today discussing deals but he does not see any "earth shattering" trades to go down. He also pointed to last Saturday's come-back win vs. Carolina as something that reminded him of the atmosphere created a few years back when the Thrashers were making playoff runs.
Players Kamal discussed:
Kari: He not only thinks he will NOT be traded, but feels he is a "cornerstone" player to build a team around.
Moose & Opie:He expects there will some interest shown for these two.
Kozlov:Kamal said Kozzy wants to stay and "be a part of the turnaround" and does not think he'll be dealt today.
Perrin:He's very disappointed that things did not work out for him this season.
Kovalchuk: Kamal said that "priority ONE is re-signing" Kovy for the Thrashers…and there is no 1-a or 1-b to this.
UPDATE: Mar. 4, 12:30 pm: Don Waddell was a guest on NHL Live with Clement & Fox, ( I'm listening via XM). Not a lot to report but he did express the desire to "change the makeup of the team". Also, he said that the team needs some more "size up front", (DUH5). Regarding the goalie situation, he did indicate that Pavs should be ready and that the situation at that position would "probably" be address this summer.
Oh, and when asked about moving Schneids so early before the deadline was because the deal was there for the taking and it was a money saving move.
UPDATE: Mar. 4, 3:00 pm: The 3:00 pm deadline is here and…nothing. This does not mean a deal hasn't been file with the league office and that, once finalized, we then hear it announced…but as for now….nothing.
UPDATE: Mar. 4, 3:08 pm: Thrashers send Erik Christensen to the Ducks in return for Eric O'Dell….an 18-year old who was drafted by the Ducks in the 2nd round of last summer's draft, (39th overall). He is a 6′-0″, 174 lb centerman who shoots right. Currently, O'dell is with the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL and has 14 goals, 18 assists and is a +10 in 29 games.

Christenson is gone to Anaheim for O'Dell
March 4th, 2009
3:12 pm
glovesave, I didn't say they wouldn't keep Jokinen – I just said his current contract would be up.
Some GMs are more creative than others at making things work, and some players aren't complete mercenaries and will take less money to stay someplace competitive and that they like.
I just think the speculation I've seen in a number of places that Calgary is going to have to blow something up to make this all work is very premature. If this club goes on a strong Cup run this season (and that's quite likely at this point), these guys may be convinced it's worthwhile to take a bit less a apiece and keep on truckin'. It's happened with the Wings before on several occasions.
As I said – don't see it being a foregone conclusion on the 4th of March that Camalleri is a definitive goner from Calgary.
March 4th, 2009
3:12 pm
Christensen to Anaheim for Eric O'Dell.
March 4th, 2009
3:14 pm
OMG how did Waddell manage to get rid of Christensen?? Holy wow…wonder how Army will feel about that.
And poor Sisu's going to be so upset his Slayer buddy is gone… ;p
March 4th, 2009
3:17 pm
Totally agree Sara, can't get into a player's mind. It's true that Calgary could get creative, but there are many teams that are just a player away that could tempt Camalieri or Jokinen. They have shown in the past the willingness to do what must be done to win…either selling off youngsters to grab the cup or shipping off known assets to get younger. ALL GM's are more creative than ours…
March 4th, 2009
3:17 pm
I don't know anything about O'Dell, but if he has a pulse there's a good chance he's better than Christensen.
March 4th, 2009
3:18 pm
Here is the info on O'Dell (I think!):
March 4th, 2009
3:19 pm
So he's a 6 ft center with 88 pts in 60 GP in Juniors. Well…at least he's not a smurf right?
March 4th, 2009
3:23 pm
Peverley's emergence made Christensen worthless to this team. As far as Christensen is concerned, scorers that can't score are as useless as t**s on a boar.
March 4th, 2009
3:24 pm
Nice return for EC. I think O'Dell was on the Canadian WJC team last year.
March 4th, 2009
3:25 pm
Eric O'Dell? I thought Waddell was only trading for players who could help us NOW, not a draft choice (which is what O'Dell basically is).
March 4th, 2009
3:27 pm
Two draft picks & Anssi Salmela. With Le Thrash arguably having the best "seller's position" in the league.
Now I'll be OK if Reasoner re-signs at a good rate, and we're able to make the most out of Draft Day (I.E. I want a power forward and people over 6′ tall).
March 4th, 2009
3:28 pm
I think this has been a very different trade day for the Thrash. We're not getting some over the hill rental. The fact that we aren't near the playoffs changes things. But it feels like Coach Anderson has been more involved in the roster.
March 4th, 2009
3:31 pm
But at least we won't have to watch Christensen miss the goal COMPLETELY anymore…I wonder well him missing wide-open goals is going to go over in that room? Betcha he suddenly finds his finishing touch….or sports some black sustained "during an off-ice altercation" (Pronger whups him).
March 4th, 2009
3:35 pm
"…black eye*…"
March 4th, 2009
3:37 pm
Pahlsen is going from the Ducks to the Hawks
March 4th, 2009
3:38 pm
How much more did DW save the ASG?
March 4th, 2009
3:59 pm
The Canes got Eric Cole
March 4th, 2009
4:01 pm
Smitty is right. Between dumping Schnieds, Nik, Perrin and now Christiansen, D-Wad has cut the payroll right down to the bottom. Must be at the league minimum $40 mil plus a shade now.
Interesting thing is that Le Thrash are probably as "young" as they've ever been, with only a few like Moose, Boults (wouldn't mind seeing him go though many like his grit…I wish we had someone a bit more potent offensively), Kozzy (of course), Whitey and Reasoner over 30. If Kozzy plays like he did earlier in the season, I'm all for him getting lots of ice time, but lately he seems to be coasting. I think all the old-timers except Reasoner are signed through next year, and I hope that D-Wad re-signs him ASAP.
Final note is that in this season of focusing on defense, we now have a very young defensive corps (showed the other night with the new Toby-Bogo pairing), with X and Hainsey at a whopping 27 years of age.
March 4th, 2009
4:28 pm
O'Sullivan to Carolina for Williams strikes me as a good deal for both clubs….especially seeing as how Carolina just turned that back into Eric Cole.
But I look at what Colorado got for Leopold and I wonder what Lameriello promised DW? Seems to me that DW could've gotten much better value for Havelid.
Also, does this mean we see Reasoner extended this summer???
March 4th, 2009
4:30 pm
What do yall think of Sutter's moves for Calgary?? I would say they're the "big winner" for today.
March 4th, 2009
5:18 pm
Calgary is a big winner today. As is Boston, with the pickups of Recchi and Montador. Hey, the Bruins didn't need a lot, anyway. These moves made them more playoff experienced, and full of more grit.

Why these Large-Cap Stocks Need to be Bought Right Now
By Shweta Dubey - March 20, 2013 | Tickers: AGN, AME, AON
As the market pushes towards new highs, it's time to look for large-cap stocks with solid fundamentals. With a better established business presence, these companies are less prone to uncertainties. Though their business growth rate may not be too high, that is offset by their stability in profits. These stocks are beneficial for those investors who are unwilling to take high levels of risk, and also to those who more »

Good Results, But is Too Much Optimism Baked In?

Textron (NYSE: TXT) delivered a mixed quarter, but increased guidance. The market focused on the former and sent the stock down, but there has been a bit of a recovery since. In summary, Textron remains a play on North American spending and while the media attention usually focuses on its Cessna business, it's actually the Bell helicopters segment that traditionally produces the bulk of profits. In addition, there are more »
4 Stocks With Industrial Strength Growth
By Chad Henage - October 20, 2012 | Tickers: ATI, AME, RBN, ROK
It certainly seems like the economy is improving. We see on a regular basis the improvement in housing starts, consumer sentiment, and other measures. Hoping for an investment play on a better economy I've written posts in the past about the improvement this should mean in the housing market and the auto industry. However, there is a more fundamental industry that will benefit from a better economy as well, and that is the industrial production industry. It's not hard to understand the correlation. As the economy improves, orders for products improves, and the companies providing the parts for these products benefit. With this in mind, I went to the trusty Fool.com CAPS Screener to try and find some investment ideas. I didn't want just any industrial company though, I wanted companies that had increased their earnings and revenue at a better than 10% clip over the last few years. Of the several companies the screen returned, the following looked attractive to me: Allegheny Technologies (NYSE: ATI), Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK), Ametek, Inc. (NYSE: AME), and Robbins & Myers, Inc. (NYSE: RBN).
Price The Market Part 50
By Glen Bradford - January 18, 2012 | Tickers: AME, IR, NSC, PCAR, PLL
My name is Glen Bradford and I am attempting to price the market and I figured the S&P500 would be a good start.
315. PACCAR Inc. (NASDAQ: PCAR) has been bouncing back from 2008. Target: $40-$50. Outside of that range, you know what to do. Overall, I'm not a huge fan. I don't see much upside past that, but I do expect to see higher prices more »

There's an ongoing debate amongst many baseball fans concerning San Francisco Giants right-hander Matt Cain.
This debate centers around the question: "What is wrong with Matt Cain?"
The answer is shockingly simple, yet the majority of fans fail to see it. There's nothing wrong with Cain. He pitched roughly as well as he has for most of his big league career. What people are failing to understand is that 2012 was an anomaly in the pitcher's nine years in the Major Leagues.
In 2012, Cain went 16-5 for the World Champion Giants, with a 2.79 earned run average and 193 strikeouts – all of which were career-bests. With that in mind, it's only reasonable to assume he won't do the same thing this season. Yet for some unescapable reason, fans expected more out of him.
Therein lies the problem.
It's not that Cain pitched worse than he did for half of his career. It's that people wanted more out of him as the Giants sought their third World Series in four years.
In four of Cain's nine years in the bigs, his ERA has been above 3.50 – including this season, when he came in at an even 4.00 earned run average. He's only ever finished more than two games above .500 twice in his career. The other seven years? Not so much. On average, he goes 12-11 each season with 30 starts, 220 innings pitched and 184 strikeouts.
He only threw 184.1 innings this season, notching 158 punchouts, but this simply indicates he didn't locate pitches well. He's still the same pitcher he has been for most of his career, apart from the standout 2012 campaign.
Matt Cain is a solid pitcher. On a great team, he's a nice #2. But he's no annual Cy Young Award contender.

When to Tune a Piano - How Often Should you Tune a Piano
In a perfect world, you would have a tuner living next door and they would come over every day and keep your piano in tune. Because pianos start going out of tune right after being tuned simply by being played. How often you should tune your piano depends upon several factors:
- Stability of the environment
- How much the piano is played
- Level of refinement required
A new piano or newly restrung piano requires more tuning than one that has been tuned regularly for a long period of time. As a general rule, a piano should be tuned whenever there is a change in seasons. Certainly when going from heat to air conditioning and visa versa necessitates tuning even if the piano sounds O.K. This is because the entire piano may shift slightly up or down. It's important to develop consistency. If you tune your piano regularly, eventually it will become quite stable. So, like changing the oil in your car, regular tuning is preventative maintenance for your piano.
2 Comments to When to Tune a Piano - How Often Should you Tune a Piano

Have you had your flu vaccination?
Published: 11 October 2013
The RCN is urging frontline health care professionals to get the annual flu vaccination, following a letter published by NHS England.
"The RCN recommends that all frontline staff get their flu vaccination to help protect themselves, patients, family and colleagues, says Helen Donovan, Public Health Nursing Advisor. "We encourage all staff to share this clinical evidence and to discuss flu vaccination within their teams as a way of keeping flu in conversation over the vaccination season."
Protect yourself
Winter is the busiest season for flu epidemics, and the NHS letter has highlighted the importance of dispelling misconceptions and reinforcing the benefits of immunisation. "By protecting yourself against flu, you not only set an example to colleagues and peers but also help to continue providing high quality, compassionate care to those we care for," said Jane Cummings, Chief Nursing Officer at NHS England.
The seasonal flu vaccination programme runs between September and March. Get RCN Direct advice on seasonal vaccinations, or visit the Department of Health website for information about seasonal flu vaccinations.

Ghani Khan (1914-1996) is one of the best Pashto language poet of the 20th century, son of the legendary and peace and non-violence, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan holds a high place in pashto literature because of his humorous and satirical verses. He was not only a poet but also was a Painter and sculptor.
A poem by Ghani Khan
I am madness in raptures borne on an airy steed,
A hue of beloved eyes coloring up in dance.
Why, what am I made for, I neither know nor gather;
Now a mood, now melody, a voice that just rings on.
I am a flame descending to the heart's hidden cellars;
I am a jingling joy, a drunkenness in raptures.
In your veins a fire, I am a quivering flame,
A sparkling radiance, burning passion, yearning.
I don't exist; I'm wind, heaving joy on joy;
With tears in my cheer and sad, smiling eyes.
Speak up, madman! what makes you weep with me?
I spring in a spirited step and reach your blood a-swing.
A mere illusive thought or an ever-unfolding grace;
A reckless airy steed rushing through reflections;
Or made of beat and jingle a prayer that is heard.
Translated from Pashto by Taimur Khan
لکه ګل چې په اوبو باندې تازه شي
. داسې زړه مې ستا کتو باندې تازه شي
"like a rose that becomes fresh with the touch of water
such is my heart, becomes fresh at the sight of you."
Today is the 805th birth day of the famous poet Rumi (Mawolana jalaludin rumi). He was born on 30 September 1207.
A Pashtun's violent nature, strong body and tender heart make a very unstable combination for living, but an ideal one for poetry, love and color.
Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
Taliban poetry book denounced by former British commander
The UK publication this month of a book of translated Taliban poetry has been denounced as enemy propaganda by a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan.
The publishers have been accused of "giving voice to terrorists", but the book's editors argue that its 235 poems, including love poems, verses exulting in the Afghan landscape and patriotic ballads, provide a unique insight into the human side of the Taliban.
Alex Strick van Linschoten, one of the two editors of Poetry of the Taliban, which will be released on 17 May, said: "The poetry shows that the Taliban are people just like we are, with feeling, concerns, anxieties like ours."
Pashto Landay : A form of Afghan poetry
Pashto Landay Anonymous Pashto Couplets Landay are those national couplets in Pashto whose authors are unknown. They can, therefore, be called mirrors which reflect the sentiments and passions of every sensitive pashtoon man and woman. These couplets are sung and enjoyed among lofty mountains, verdant valleys, vast deserts and sylvan surroundings, in villages and towns, by the side of the cascading waterfall and the humble nomadic tent, on the shepherd's flute and the orchard-keeper's reed pipe, in short in every corner of the land of the Pashtoons. The oldsters sing them in memory of a youth which is no more; young men and maidens seek the intoxicating tumult of a passionate youth in their lines; for the lovelorn they are messengers of words sweet and divine; the swordsmen dance to their melody on the battlefield; and the weary traveler forgets the pangs of separation from home in their sweet words. These couplets, composed of plain, easily understood, yet fluent language, are totally free of the influence of foreign, languages. Although some pushto poems are based on Arabic prosody yet these couplets are not only unfettered by Arabic versification, they are based on a syllabic-prosody of their own in as much as the first line of the couplet has nine syllables and the second thirteen. Another outstanding quality of these couplets in that contrary to the general pattern of poetry in most (Landay) the woman address the man. This is so because compared to the male the sentiments of the female are more tender, her sorrow more profound and he voice more sweeter, and that is why the (Landay) are more moving in their effects, and the enjoyment is proportionately greatr than that found in conventional pushto poetry. Similarly every (Landay) couplet can be recited in different ways on different occasions. To be more explicit, a Landay couplet can be sung in different tunes and with different musical notes in combat and rejoicing, while traveling, whether inactive or dancing, in travail and happiness, in fact at all times and on all occasions.
ُExamples of Pashto landay.
پاس په كمر ولاړه ګله!
نصيب دچايي اوبه زه درخيژومه
O Flower that you grow on the mountain side;
The duty to water you belongs to me, but to whom would you belong?
زړه مي هلك دي راته ژاړي
چه رانه غواړي دپردي باغچوګلونه
My heart is like a child; it cries,
and demands flowers from a stranger's garden.
ستا به د ګلو دوران تير شۍ
زما به پاته شۍ دزړه سوۍ داغونه
The blooming season of your beauty will pass;
But the scorched patches on my heart will always remain fresh.
په ګل ګلاب دي و ويشتمه
تر لاس دي جارشم دښمنانو وليدمه
You have thrown a rose at me;
blessed be thy hands, but malevolent eyes have noticed.
مخ دي ګلاب سترګي دي شمعي
نه پري پوهيږم چه بورا كه بتنګه شمه
Your face is a rose and your eyes are candles;
Faith! I am lost, should i become a butterfly or a moth?
زه دپسرلۍ تر ګل تازه وم
ستا په بيلتون كښي لكه پاڼه زيړه شوم
I used to be more fresh than spring blossoms, O Beloved!
But your separation has turned me yellow like an autumn leaf.
ستا په يوه تومت رنګ زيړشو
زه دتومت جامي په غاړه ګرزومه
Your cheeks have been paled with only one slander;
while I am clothed from head to foot with calumnies.

Afghan poets
Poetry is very famous in Afghanistan, it has long been a cultural tradition and passion for every Afghan. Almost all afghans have interest in poetry and for every occasion they have a poem on the tip of the tongue. On daily bases despite the war and the uncertainty of everything, public poetry gatherings are held every month and everyone shares their poetry which they write passionately. Normally, A lot of people attend these gatherings and it is one of great entertainment for young afghans.
Afghanistan was noted for its poetic language even before the Islamic conquest of Afghanistan in the 7th through 11th centuries. The Pata Khazana, if authentic, contains Pashto poetry written as far back as the 8th Century. Some of the famous poets from the region of Afghanistan through out history includes
Khushal Khan Khattak
Rahman Baba
Ahmad Shah Durrani
Timur Shah Durrani
Shuja Shah Durrani
Ghulam Muhammad Tarzi and many others.
Nowadays there are alot of young poets, Some of which are equally talented as these old poets. Most of Afghan youth take a keen interest in poetry no matter who they are, what society class they belong to or where they live.
Here are some random Afghan poems
Rumi :
Why think thus O men of piety - I have returned to sobriety
I am neither a Moslem nor a Hindu - I am not Christian, Zoroastrian, nor Jew
I am neither of the West nor the East - Not of the ocean, nor an earthly beast
I am neither a natural wonder - Nor from the stars yonder
Neither flesh of dust, nor wind inspire - Nor water in veins, nor made of fire
I am neither an earthly carpet, nor gems terrestrial - Nor am I confined to Creation, nor the Throne Celestial
Not of ancient promises, nor of future prophecy - Not of hellish anguish, nor of parasitic ecstasy
Neither the progeny of Adam, nor Eve - Nor of the world of heavenly make-believe
My place is the no-place - My image is without face
Neither of body nor the soul - I am of the Divine Whole.
I eliminated duality with joyous laughter - Saw the unity of here and the hereafter
Unity is what I sing, unity is what I speak - Unity is what I know, unity is what I seek
Intoxicated from the chalice of Love - I have lost both worlds below and above
Sole destiny that comes to me - Licentious mendacity
In my whole life, even if once - Forgot His name even per chance
For that hour spent, for such moment - I'd give my life, and thus repent
Beloved Master, Shams-e Tabrizi - In this world with Love I'm so drunk
The path of Love isn't easy - I am shipwrecked and must be sunk.
" Raise your Words , not your Voice . It is Rain which grows up Leaves , not Thunder " - Rumi .
"Only from the heart Can you touch the sky." -Rumi
"my heart is a pen in your hand.
It is all up to you to write me happy or sad. " -Rumi
Other poems:
Take everything away
and leave me alone with You.
Close every door and open the one to You. - Hakim sanai
Da chi waim da bal jahan bayan dei, rakuz shewei da kitab da bal asman dei.
That i say is a story of another world, a book descended from another sky. - hamza baba
Chi shepei kala rah shewama shi, pe dei wakht zema pe zre kei shur paida shi
chi rana la dunya lara shi rukhsat shi, de shair da zre dunya ta rana shi.
In the dead of the night when the deep silence reigns, a loud noise rises up in my heart;
when light departs the world and darkness falls, light comes to the inner world of the poet.
Here is link to Afghan poems translated in english
poems are best in their own language, when translated they lose their meaning or their taste of poetry. So here is a link to pashto poetry books if anyone understands.
By blood, we are immersed in love of you.
The youth lose their heads for your sake.
I come to you and my heart finds rest.
Away from you, grief clings to my heart like a snake.
I forget the throne of Delhi
when I remember the mountain tops of my Afghan land.
If I must choose between the world and you,
I shall not hesitate to claim your barren deserts as my own.

The complaint at the U.S. International Trade Commission claims infringement of seven Motorola Mobility patents on features including location reminders, e-mail notification and phone/video players, Motorola Mobility said today. The case seeks a ban on U.S. imports of devices including the iPhone, iPad and Mac computers. Apple's products are made in Asia.
"We would like to settle these patent matters, but Apple's unwillingness to work out a license leaves us little choice but to defend ourselves and our engineers' innovations," Motorola Mobility said in an e-mailed statement.
Just a reminder of how crazy the current patent war is.
» Google stocks didn't react well: While an argument could be made that this is a great move for Google, investors appear to be at least somewhat spooked, with Google's stock currently down despite the more positive market at large. Is it because the company has never really had any sort of success in the hardware business? And what does this mean for HTC or Samsung or all the other big Android makers?
All these lawsuits between Apple and Motorola are silly. In the latest suit (a counter-suit, even), the iPhone maker sued Motorola for using multitouch technology (among other things which Apple owns patents for) in nine of its phones, including each of the popular Droid models. These suits are excuses for each company to get in the other's hair, and basically do nothing useful. Honestly, if Apple was really serious about fighting these claims against their multitouch technology, they would've sued when the first Droid phone came out. Now, it just seems like a vindictive attempt at leverage. source

When I began freelancing nearly nine years ago, I loved the freedom, but I had never felt so alone. Sure, I got feedback from clients on specific projects, but suddenly I lacked the sense of my professional self that my day-to-day encounters in the office used to provide. I found my emotions boomeranging from elation to despair depending on the last comment I'd heard from a client.
I had a good friend in the same industry who'd taken the plunge to go solo a few years before I did. Quickly, we found ourselves on the phone a couple of times a week, kvetching or celebrating about our most recent experiences. Knowing that somebody as smart as Sarah faced criticisms and revisions of her work, the same way I did, helped straighten out my head. Jokingly, we called our little association Freelancers Anonymous. Which turned out to be pretty close to the truth.

Hi Rog, we had our A300 about the same time I think, I've had the A580 for the faster frame rate and sensor quality for about 20 months two years. I have been out this afternoon and just got back and I have one 8gb card full and 400 odd on another 8gb card taking footie first then a slower pace taking photos of cows trees and sheep! 1,600 images.. My A300 is a back up, it only gets used for holidays or the kids borrow it.
I think this one will be worn out long before my trusty 300
Quote: why is it that Nikon keep on producing better cameras than Sony when using Sony sensor technology
Another interesting one is the Olympus OM-D - they have taken the core of a Sony sensor and produced a camera that seems to be way in advance of the Sony offerings. Comments I have read suggest it is a Sony sensor made to Olympus specifications (though what part the processor plays in this I do not know) so it will be interesting to see if Sony cameras can challenge the dynamic range and noise performance of the OM-D. If not, then they need to seriously consider what they are doing.
BUT... don't forget that Sony now have a 10% ownership stake in Olympus!
And also worthy of note is the cuts that Sony have taken which will impact the ability to make lenses so they will become more dependent on others. The Olympus tie up is for the medical stuff if you read the info they release and their releases on company strategy.
Still at least its is starting to recover, but its a long way from healthy with losses like that.
I don't think Sony can do it. Some Chinese or Korean company will find a way to copy the technology. Sony aren't the power they once were. Look at the likes of Samsung. Samsung who weren't fit to tie Sony's bootlaces when they first appeared in home electricals.
The problem that Japan has is that the Yen is very high - and is getting higher because of worries about the state of the Dollar and the euro. This makes manufacture in Japan very expensive. That's why the Japanese economy has been virtually stagnant for decades and they're suffering deflation. When this kind of thing happens in the West the govt finds ways of causing devaluation. The UK has devalued Sterling by about 20% since the credit crunch and has expanded the money supply by about 20% by quantitative easing which will eventually lead to inflation - and "coincidentally" shrink the govt's massive debts. The Japanese would rather commit hara-kiri than indulge in this kind of dodgy practice so they're stuck with a high exchange rate and low growth. They may have the last laugh though.
But in this climate it's becoming increasingly uneconomic to manufacture in Japan and most people are moving production to China or Korea, etc.
Sony are still producing fantastic cameras though - you guys need to open your eyes. The new NEX-6 is a fantastic camera - very small with its new 16-50 lens yet probably better than the OM-D. The A57 is arguably the best in its class as is the A77. Same goes for the RX100 and RX1. The A99 is also looking very interesting as a competitor to the D800. Canon certainly have some catching up to do - and maybe even Nikon too.
Quote: When asked why someone should choose a Sony camera rather than Canikon
That whole quote is b******t. The reason someone should buy Sony rather than any other is if the Sony camera is better than the competition.
I love these corporate guys with their management speak - trying to justify their massive salaries and bonuses with words. So now a what would once have been an innovative product is now disruptive. Creative English (maybe) but saying nothing about your product.
Sony do produce good cameras (fantastic? I've never seen a fantastic camera.) Steppenwolf makes the assumption that everyone here needs to 'open their eyes'. All that means is that 'I am trying to justify my opinion by demeaning yours'. The truth is Sony produce some good cameras, so do Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Olympus and all the rest. Anyone who believes otherwise needs - how to put it? - open their eyes.
I have a GH3 on order which I think has a few good ideas on board - I must tell my wife that I have just spent £960 on a 'disruptive' camera, that'll make all the difference
Sony's problems are bigger than the Yen, and remember it is world company so impacted by far more than Japan economics, though of course they play a part. In fact you could level the Japan influence much heavier on most of the other camera brands.
The nex range are getting there but behind m4/3 especially on the lenses and not as well developed for photgraphers IMHO. Their SLT/DSLR range needs to be more sony and less minolta. I do not see them as being ahead.
As someone who likes and uses Sony products their performance is a concern, and disappointing as its current problems are really self inflicted.
The nex range are getting there but behind m4/3 especially on the lenses and not as well developed for photgraphers IMHO. Their SLT/DSLR range needs to be more sony and less minolta. I do not see them as being ahead.
Well take the NEX-6 as an example - we've already discussed the SLTs and you apparently don't like the EVF. The NEX-6 is smaller than all the M4/3 offerings that have an EVF (with kit lens). It has more advanced features (e.g. a better EVF and more sophisticated focus). And it's cheaper than the OM-D, which is probably the most logical comparison. Go and have a look at one - this camera will fit in a jacket pocket yet it does everything that a DSLR does.
While Olympus have been intent on making digital cameras that evoke their past (i.e. Pen and OM) Sony have developed something modern. You might say it's not "as well developed for photographers", but what you really mean is that it doesn't look like the SLR you used 40 years ago. Design moves on, Strawman, and the NEX-6 is the nearest thing I've seen yet to a camera that ticks every box - for the amateur.

Quote: but what you really mean is that it doesn't look like the SLR you used 40 years ago
If you had aimed that at me I would have responded that Imy dislike of NEX is nothing to do with looking like a DSLR and is about ergonomics - I really don't like the NEX because of the user interface, and that is a common comment even among enthusiasts who use one. And given your repeated comments about MFT lenses being smaller than APS-C lenses I am surprised you talk about pocketability compared to MFT.
So in answer to your comment, no it does not 'tick every box' for the amateur. But it is a valid option for someone looking to buy a camera.
Quote: this camera will fit in a jacket pocket yet it does everything that a DSLR does.
You really believe either of those statements?
Your posts remind me of emails I used to get for a cartoon series I did for the Telegraph Online some years ago.
There were two main types of disapproving ones. Those from Americans often said 'this cartoon is not funny because....' And those from Europe which were more usually 'I do not think this cartoon is funny because....'
There is a massive difference between those two statements but I don't think you will understand what it is.
Quote: While Olympus have been intent on making digital cameras that evoke their past (i.e. Pen and OM) Sony have developed something modern.
I think you may be confusing cosmetic appearance with technology. There's little of "the past" about the latest cameras, regardless of whether they have a retro appearance.

No. Obviously the technology is new but, in attempting to make it look almost exactly like the old OM series they've included an SLR pentaprism dome which makes the camera less pocketable. The NEX-6 with the kit lens will actually go in your pocket without catching, which is a feature I want. It also has the eyepiece for the EVF at the edge of the camera which seems (to me) an improvement. Basically with the Sony the form follows the function, but with the Oly the form is designed to attract people who hanker after their old SLR. This was obviously a clever marketing move, as the sales probably show, but it does have some drawbacks. Nikon has done a similar thing with its V2 which now looks like a DSLR. I haven't seen one yet but it obviously won't go in your pocket which is daft for a small sensor camera.
It's like BMW designed the Mini to evoke nostalgia - as Fiat did with the new 500 - because they knew it would sell. But there are some drawbacks to the old shapes as you find out when you compare these cars with the more modern competition.

Submitted by iwillloveyouwhenpigsfly
I've always loved Raven. I liked her better when she was heavier. I keep trying to show my 4 year old sister "That's So Raven" because she has darker skin than me (she has a different father) and all the other shows she watches feature stick-thin white girls. I want my sister to grow up without that pressure; without feeling like you should look like the people on TV. One day, she even asked my older sister, "When am I going to be your color?" She's young; she doesn't understand all of the natural differences yet. I struggled with self-image as I was growing up and I don't want her to feel the same thing I did.

HALLE, Germany, (UPI) — Exercise can counteract muscle breakdown, increase strength and reduce inflammation caused by aging and heart failure, German researchers say.
Dr. Stephan Gielen, deputy director of cardiology at the University Hospital, Martin Luther University of Halle, Germany, who was the lead co-author, said the study involved 60 heart-failure patients and 60 healthy volunteers. Half of each group was age 55 and younger and the other half, age 65 and older.
Half the study participants in each age group were randomly assigned to four weeks of supervised aerobic training or no exercise. Researchers took muscle biopsies of all participants before and after the intervention.
The study, published in the journal Circulation, found for both age groups, four training sessions of 20 minutes of aerobic exercise per day, five days a week plus one 60-minute group exercise session was associated with increased muscle force endurance and oxygen uptake.
Heart failure patients age 55 and under increased their peak oxygen uptake by 25 percent, while those age 65 and older increased it by 27 percent, the researchers said.

I'm sorry, but why would you gain the trust of inner city children, give them an opportunity to go on something as scenic, adventurous, and different (for those who have never gone, at least) as hiking, and then completely betray them by writing down what they say and posting it on a blog named GHETTOHIKES?
You're not entertaining people, you're exposing and making a spectacle out of children that probably look up to you not only as a mentor, but also as an upstanding parental figure.
Seriously, this is fucking disgusting.
Extremely appalling and a horrible breech of trust. Not to mention so fucking supremacist in so many fucking ways. I love how only hippie white folks have valid observations about nature and their floaty, hippie quotes are totally valid.
But the kids should just be glad that someone is bothering to notice them. Ten says that this is a Great White Savior type who is getting credits on a resume for this shit.

I could have been somebody's lover, somebody's heartbreak. I might have planned a murder, been a mother, lost a child, freed a slave, sat upon the knee of a handsome prince and been offered all the tea in the Himalayan's, only to say- 'I'm sorry, your breath is outrageously bad, I think I'll go and be a pop star now.'
Life is cruel and you can't have everything you want. Everyone always tells you to accept reality. Money makes the world go round; we all want to drive a Porsche; a peanut can kill you in forty-five seconds. But what if that was a lie? What if the whole world could be flipped on its head, and we could survive without cars, without iPods, without camera phones, without having to keep buying stuff upon stuff upon stuff, without having to keep destroying everything?
What if all you had to do, to find out everything was bullshit, was to simply laugh at it all, not take all this shit so seriously?
What if all you had to do was just…stop..?
What if all you had to do was eat one…just one, peanut?

Josh Young's post on Journalism | Latest updates on Sulia
On the evening of Feb. 6, Wang Lijun, a vice mayor of a major Chinese city who had a reputation as a crime fighter turned up at the American Consulate in Chengdu in an agitated state, telling a tale of corruption and murder that has ensnared the Obama administration in a scandal it wants nothing to do with. The information Mr. Wang possessed involved Bo Xilai, who was the Communist Party chief in Chongqing until last month and Mr. Wang's onetime patron. http://nyti.ms/InnyHL
