Fossil Valley RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fossil Valley. We originally planned on staying 2 nights and changed it to a week instead. Blake is the friendliest, most attentive host you could find. The sites are well kept, each with soft grass and a large picnic table. There is a dumpster conveniently located as you drive out of the park. There is a new shopping area just a mile from the RV park that already has a Walmart & many other stores opening soon such as Ross & TJ Max. There is a Smith's Grocery across the street from the park and we saw many people walk or bike from the park to many local fast food restaurants. You could not find any place more convenient.
Moab, Utah
Moab KOA
[ 5/10 ]
This was the site of our 2014 family campout. The reservation staff here was great to get 2 RVs close to one of their cabins so we could all be close together. The location is good and well situated for touring Canyonlands and Arches Nat. Rec. Areas. The park has a nice layout and a fun rustic feel. The pool is small, the playground is only a couple swings & a small metal slide that was unusable in the 100+ degree heat. They did have a miniature golf course and a rather pricey laundry. Cable service and Wi-Fi were great. Our biggest complaint was the campers who continued to drive through the park at unreasonably high speeds. It is rather typical KOA in a resort area: rather pricey but always a good safe area to camp, especially with children.
Boulder, Wyoming
Wind River View Campground
[ 4/10 ]
First off, Boulder is hardly a town but it is only about 10 miles from Pinedale which has a few services. The rate reflects Coast to Coast membership. The views of snow still in the mountains is incredible in July. The opposite direction overlooks a winding river and quiet little ranch. Many of the sites have picnic tables but they are unusable due to really tall weeds. This was our biggest disappointment. We did not expect a beautiful lawn, but they could have knocked down the weeds at each site. My husband could not wait to get out after dark to view the stars as there is no light pollution here. He was not out very long before I heard him yell and come barreling in the door. It seems a coyote was just a little curious as to what he was doing out there. Scared the daylights out of my poor husband. This is still the wild west, you know.
Tucson, Arizona
Voyager Resort & RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
Rate is based on a 3-month discounted stay with a Thousand Trails membership. This park is very definitely an award winning park. If coming in for a very short stay, you may be placed up front where they put most of the shorter stay coaches. If you are staying for more than a few days, I would suggest requesting a site on either 9th or 11th Street. There are more palms and friendlier people. It is true that there is something for everyone. I especially liked the fused glass, stained glass, woodworking shop & ceramics studio. We liked it so much that we purchased an RV port so that we could return here to spend our winters. The security is top notch and you can feel totally comfortable here.
Payson, Arizona
Ox Bow Estates RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
We were very pleasantly surprised that this turned out to be such a nice RV park after many old negative reviews. The park is under new management. It is very rustic with many trees and a cool bridge going over a wash. It has the feel of a wooded national park with the addition of all the services: electric/water/sewer/Wi-Fi/cable/laundry, and a ramada for groups. The sites are level and well groomed. It is mostly dirt but with a pebble top. I am really delighted that we chose to stay here and even extended our stay an extra day.
Mesa, Arizona
Mesa Spirit RV Resort (55+ park)
[ 10/10 ]
What a great place to spend the winter! The multitude of activities is absolutely unbelievable. I especially enjoyed the stained glass and fused glass classes. The instructors are so helpful (and patient). The glass shop has everything you could possibly need. The pools are very nice and quite warm which is great on days in the 60's. Close to everything you could possibly want.
Pinetop, Arizona
Blue Ridge Motel & Cabins / RV Hook-Ups
[ 10/10 ]
This is a very unique place in the White Mountains. The RV's are parked around a large center area that is grass covered and is the place where the children run & play like children did ages ago. The place has the most welcoming hosts. The owner is an artist with a chain saw and you will enjoy all the carved wooden bears that reside here. Just a great, fun, rustic atmosphere.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Enchanted Trails RV Park & Trading Post
[ 9/10 ]
This is the Passport America rate. We have stayed here numerous times making our treks across the country. It has a very nostalgic feel to it and it is fun looking around in their store and various rooms. Even their laundry is nostalgic. Make sure to check out the antique trailers that have been restored and are rented out. The only complaint is that the sites and interior roads are all gravel and can be very dusty when it is windy. We will continue to use this for our Albuquerque stopovers.
Elk City, Oklahoma
Elk Creek RV Park
[ 3/10 ]
This is a Good Sam park, but we were quite disappointed especially for the price. Not in a great area. Not nicely landscaped. Sites were only OK at best. Several really ugly RV's. It was only 5 miles from Walmart and that is about the best thing it had going in our opinion. We would not return.
Marshfield, Missouri
RV Express RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Great concept for an RV park right off Interstate 44 for overnight stays. Very clean and beautifully designed for easy pull-thru. Level concrete pads & patios with grill & table at each site. We very much enjoyed our until we went to leave the next morning and found that someone had taken our breakaway cable and the stem caps on our rear truck tires. Other than that, we were totally impressed.
Terre Haute, Indiana
Terre Haute KOA
[ 10/10 ]
Absolutely one of the best KOA's we have visited. We especially enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies we were given at check-in. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Close to fuel/shopping/Walmart. Great place to winter camp. Very scenic with a dusting of snow.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
El Rancho Mobile Home Park
[ 8/10 ]
This park is located just outside Kirtland Air Force Base. Looks like it is not in the best part of town, but that may be misleading. The owner of the park is just great. He will greet you as you enter the park and stand by your window, guiding you very effortlessly into your site. There are mostly permanent residents and you will find a mixture of older and newer RV's. We did not find the sites to be as cramped as another reviewer stated but they are not spacious either. Entirely adequate for a short term visit. We are keeping this park as one of our preferred "spots" in our AZ-OH travels.
Springfield, Missouri
Timbercrest Park
[ 3/10 ]
We have stayed here twice simply because of the location which is in very close proximity to main highways. We will not return to this park again. On both stays (June & October) we were very disappointed. There are many permanent sites towards the back. The temporary sites towards front are pretty sad - lumpy, bumpy ground with weeds instead of grass & cracked cement patios. It is close to shopping.

What idea is worth creating a disruption & what, who, where, how would you disrupt?
It is true that no change ever comes about by remaining comfortable. We must expand the familiar and find new ground, become new people and ultimately disturb the peace (Why change requires a disruption of peace is a whole other subject Ill have to work on another time!).
That's why I am asking the question.. What change is worth making yourself (and maybe others) uncomfortable?

Feb 7 2012: I have lived in six different countries in the last eleven years.
I can confidently tell you that I have grown very fast thanks to all those years abroad. I am not saying that everyone should change countries, but that change can be a very good way to learn and evolve.
My daughter told me when I asked her about our last move. Don't worry, it is going to be ok... there is skype. Now the class she used to be in thailand and her new class in china are corresponding via the Internet.
People around me used to think my weak point was that I loved doing everything and would always change my subjects of interest. I turned that weakness a quality. I am lucky that this century focuses on crossing disciplines.
Egypt taught me about archeology. I taught English to very happy and enthousiastic poor children and took care of an very sad rich little girl. North of Thailand taught me about Quieting my thoughts, keeping calm inside. My kids taught me loads...A handicapped little girl taught me how even one of the tiniest and most dependable human on earth could have a positive impact on many people's life... I learned new languages, new ways of thinking... Etc..
I believe in a way that Everything is linked. No matter who we are, we have an impact on the rest of the world.
Now, IMMANUEL KANT for example, did not change one thing to his way of life during years. doing so helped him to concentrate on his work. And with his new ideas, he changed the world of philosophy, justice, astronomy and so on.
And I agree that Often in my life, I found myself wasting time finding a new home again, settling,etc when I could have been doing something more constructive.
I think a good change for some of us would be to not only Invest ourselves in careers and accomplish amazing popular things but to also acknowledge the importance of attitude. A great attitude in day to day's life has a major impact on people around you.
I think I should start changing less and settling a bit... for a change
Feb 9 2012: Manue, thank you for the insight.. are you saying that "settling" would be a disruption for you? And it is how you would create change in your own life?
If so, I can totally relate!! I too traveled all over from city to city, country to country and found that when I finally settled in Western North Carolina, USA, I was surprised by the amount of discomfort I felt, and still feel today just by being still, in one place!!
Feb 9 2012: I think that going back to France would probably be challenging (except Paris?) it would probably be more challenging than moving in some other "foreign country". If we lived in France, our kids might not be able to go to an International school, and they might have to get adapted to a very different old educational system. And I might find it more difficult to find foreigners from all over the world to share experiences abroad with. I feel, that after a few months spent in France, I would feel the urge to go and discover a new place. I did not feel ready to leave thailand to go to china, but now that I am there, I am having such a good time visitng china, sharing ideas and stories daily with my Chinese neighbor and learning Chinese.
How many times have I heard that in general, people coming back to their home country after years abroad have more difficulties to get adapted than when they just arrived abroad! I can imagine this could to be also true for me.
Now, I have to say that changing countries every two years when you have children is not that easy. And I am getting tired. I feel I am spending far too much time on practical issues (housing, shipment, new circle of friends) when I could be focusing on projects and staying with my old friends. Last year, I spent months writing every single day for hours, with very strict habits to get things done. However, I have not been able to do so with such a regularity during the past months, before and after moving. But, my writing is fed by my life experiences, so that is ok! There is a time for everything. I feel I am a global citizen and I sometimes imagine I could go and travel in space! Anyhow, I feel there will be a time to settle.... Maybe not in France.
How about you? Is western north Carolina your home region? Are you planning to move again? Why? Why not?

Total Film recently caught up with Simon Pegg to talk about his upcoming film, the brilliantly bonkers-sounding A Fantastic Fear Of Everything (more on that in a future issue folks).
While we held court with the Shaun Of The Dead actor, we just had to take advantage of the opportunity to grill him on his secrecy-shrouded upcoming projects: Star Trek 2 and The World's End.
Naturally, Pegg played it cryptic when we mined him for info. When we asked for the entire plot of Star Trek 2, he responded, "It's all about space."
And the final frontier? "Yep - it's about the final frontier. And the one before it. I know it's boring, but one thing JJ installed in all of us is the importance of giving the audience everything they can get from the experience itself.
"When we do World's End we're not going to do blogs from the set, which we did with Hot Fuzz and Paul, because we want to maintain some mystique."
So what stage are they at with World's End, then? "We're just waiting to make it now. The second the green light goes on we will go - that's our goal."
A Fantastic Fear Of Everything opens on 8 June 2012. Look out for more from Pegg in a future issue of TF. Subscribe to Total Film magazine!
Which of Pegg's upcoming movies are you most excited about? Vote with your comments below…

The world is filled with young talented people who dream of making it in fashion. They want to be the next star designer like Alexander McQueen or the next star stylist such as Micaela Erlanger and dress fabulous celebrities. With the best will in the world, fashion school cannot teach you all the skills you need to be successful. Here is what you won't learn....but what you will need.
The word luxury is brandished about a little too frequently these days. As a result the definition of luxury has been watered down too much, steering away from the skills and traditions that it relied upon, and moving towards implying a more "bling" lifestyle that can be considered often rather vacuous.
When it comes to the core concept of launching, nurturing and mentoring new brands, that's when the new concept really reveals its new, winning formula. With the tag 'Fashion For A Sustainable Future', it is clear the mission for the new 'Estethica: Emerging Talents' is to forge a new and stronger generation of sustainable forces.
Fashion and feminism - they're like two people who only hang out together because they have a mutual friend. It's awkward, it's prickly - neither wants to be left alone together. In some ways this discomfort is understandable - the fashion industry, at times, seems to do its best to isolate its target demographic.
Every time a tragic accident like Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, where over 1,000 workers died in the garment factory, happens, our hearts sank. It sank because it could, and should, have been prevented. However, in the current clima with shrinking wages and stratospheric rent and energy bills, Can we afford ethical fashion?
Lingering in a sartorial Shangri-La, all manner of fashionistas are paraded before you, making the queueing not the total ball of the foot ache that one would expect, but actually a wholly entertaining experience. So, here I offer my breakdown of the types of people to expect to encounter at London Fashion Week.
Now that the Fashion Week fuss has mostly calmed down, and those pressing show reports are all but finished, it is time to relax, rejuvenate and revitalise. Though you may not have all the time in the world to spend on number one, an assortment of luxurious London spas are offering a little serenity in the city.

Medaille College is pleased to announce that Nicholas Carr, author of the freshman reading selection for 2013, The Shallows, will speak to our campus community on Wednesday, October 30, 2013. There will be a book signing from 4-5:30pm in the Huber Hall Library & a speaking engagement from 6-7:15pm in the Events Arena (Buffalo Campus). All freshmen are required to attend this event as part of their Learning Community courses. This event is free and open to the public.
Now in it's fifth year, the Summer Reading Program encourages intellectual discourse and a common academic experience for all incoming freshmen at the Buffalo Campus. At Medaille, we know that a key to success is being an active, engaged learner. Our Summer Reading Program encourages active learning and helps freshmen successfully transition to college-level study. The Shallows will help students actively engage with important ideas and inspire them as they embark on a college career. The Shallows will be incorporated into Learning Community coursework during the fall 2013 semester.
In his book, Carr asks the reader to consider how technology affects us. He reflects on what we gain from modern technology, as well as what we lose. Carr gives his readers a way to explore the advantages and disadvantages of our constant use of the internet. The Shallows offers an exploration of the way our brains change in response to our experiences (especially our on-line experiences) and asks us to critically think about the role of modern media. Carr invites his readers to investigate how modern technology is changing us and to ponder if those changes are improving our brains or damaging our ability to read and think deeply.
Developing Active Reading Skills
Reading actively means holding an inner dialogue with the author. Carr's writing style encourages this dialogue: he wants us to question what he is saying, to compare it to what we already know, and to look deep within ourselves to make it personally meaningful. Nevertheless, reading actively is a skill that everyone must continually develop, and it involves strategies that are very different from the passive posture that we adopt, for example, when we watch television. The information below provides discussion questions that will help you enjoy The Shallows, while developing your active reading skills.
The Power of Narrative: Stories function in many ways. They can entertain us, they can make us think, and sometimes we use them to go to sleep. Among their many uses, however, it is clear that stories play a vital role in creating our sense of collective and individual identity. In other words, stories shape the way that we think and feel about our world, as well as how we relate to it and to others. Consider, for example, how stories often inspire and encourage us to look at our world in a new and positive way. They may even inspire us take action and make changes for the better. There is an irony that Carr uses the old fashioned medium of the written word on a paper page to tell a story of the new technological age. Consider the effectiveness of this. Below are some questions to help you reflect further on these issues.
Our Minds: Carr's title suggests that our brains are somehow changing because of our continuous use of the internet. He argues that in addition to the benefits, there are also significant consequences for our near exclusive use of the internet for information. He points to the very real changes that are happening at the cultural, social and biological levels. Do you think the internet is changing us for the better or for the worse? Below are some questions to help you reflect on this larger one.
Community and Culture: The word community refers to a group of people that share common interests and bonds. However, there has been much debate about whether or not a community can really exist online. Do people need to interact face-to-face, without the use of technology, to create a real community? And since culture grows from our sense of community, can we really have a virtual culture? Below are some questions to help you reflect on this larger one.
Nicholas Carr writes about technology, culture, and economics. His most recent book, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, is a 2011 Pulitzer Prize nominee and a New York Times bestseller. Mr. Carr is also the author of two other influential books, The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google (2008) and Does IT Matter? (2004). His books have been translated into more than 20 languages.
Carr has been a columnist for The Guardian in London and has written for The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, The New Republic, The Financial Times, Technology Review, and many other publications. His essay "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" has been collected in several anthologies, including The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2009, The Best Spiritual Writing 2010, and The Best Technology Writing 2009.
Carr is a former member of the Encyclopedia Britannica's editorial board of advisors, was on the steering board of the World Economic Forum's cloud computing project, and was a writer-in-residence at the University of California, Berkeley. He writes the popular blog Rough Type and is a sought-after speaker for academic and corporate events. Earlier in his career, he was executive editor of the Harvard Business Review. He holds a B.A. from Dartmouth College and an M.A., in English and American Literature and Language, from Harvard University.

Links to Interviews and Reviews
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

How frequently will you eat the same thing - creature of habit and particular tastes or need some variety?
- fldhkybnva Apr 18, 2013 06:51 PM
I had a lovely discussion with my mother tonight which is the exact same conversations we've been having since I had some opinion about what I wanted to eat. She refuses to eat the same dish not only in the same day, but usually in the same week. This also applies to food genres - tacos for lunch, means no enchiladas for dinner. I love variety and it's great to find new things, but I tend to know what I like and like particular flavor combinations so can eat the same lunch every day for a week or have different variations of a particular combination of spices and herbs and be a very happy clam. Do you tend to eat the same thing multiple days in a row, have favorite flavor combinations or are you a fan of variety at most meals?
re: foodieX2
Same here.
re: sueatmo
I thought of something....
When dining out a place I rarely ever dine at I often choose one of the same 3 things and my husband teases me about. It's just that their chicken liver dish, their Bolognese and the lamb "sampler" are so, so good that I don't like to risk trying something new.
However at places I dine at on a regular basis I am more likely try something new every time I go since If don't like I know I will be back in matter of days/weeks.
re: foodieX2
In our city, there are only a handful of restos the Khantessa and I frequent. And I tend to order the same dishes over and over. I know what I like and I stick to it.
I'm with you. I like variety and I try to make our menus varied ("Pasta last night, think of somethng else.") but I can happily eat something I like every day (or a couple of times a day) without tiring of it. Especially if it's "flavor combinations". Today I had a chicken burrito for breakfast, frozen Mexican combo meal for lunch and when I got home my husband said, "I preheated the oven for taquitos." I was planning something else, but enjoyed the taquitos anyway. I often make a batch of something to take as lunches for the week and as a kid I couldn't handle much in the morning, so I had a grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast for years on end.
I have a friend like that. Variety is EVERYTHING.
I am happier eating the same thing, or set of things, for a while. I like "perfecting" a dish by making small changes over several consecutive days. It may be kind of OC, but I live alone, so who cares?
Right now, I'm pan frying BSCBs with different vegetable sides. I'll change every couple of nights, but I imagine I'll be sauteeing chicken breasts for another couple of nights, or maybe even weeks.
There's variety in other meals, though. I eat soups and salads and sandwiches in no particular order or frequency.
While I generally prefer variety and seek it when dining out, eating the same thing a few times in a row doesn't bother me at all.
Sometimes I specifically make a big pot of soup, chili or tomato sauce just so I can have it a few days in a row--and that's only partly out of convenience.
I try to make a different recipe every night if I can--I probably could have something different every night for 6 months before repeating a recipe--but time and budget sometime interfere with that.
I don't mind eating something in the same ethnic family more than once in the same week or even day if it works out that way. If I made cheese enchiladas for lunch and a friend wants to go out to dinner for Mexican, that's fine (i might even order cheese enchiladas if they are good at that restaurant). Being a single household who likes to cook and has limited freezer space I am used to serial leftovers. I live in a land locked state, so when I vacation in a coastal area, it's all seafood all the time. A memorable spree during a trip to Maine included 2 lobster rolls and a whole 2lb lobster in a single day.
re: GH1618
Yea, eggs are definitely a thing that I can eat the same way over and over and over! I try to mix it up with different ingredients but other than that it's a great staple
Certain things I can take more than once a week, meals cooked by someone else come to mind :)
In the morning I like riffs..one day toast with goat cheese & lox, need day I'll add cucumber..next day take it down to fig spread and honey, next day a soft boiled egg and a slice of ham..so on. Common di is the toast. I like to start the day with some kind of toast topped with something I have handy.
Rest of the day I like the unpredictable meal.
Must. Have. Variety.
The closest to repeats is when lunch tomorrow is a version of what we doggie-bagged tonight.
CAN NOT repeat breakfast on 3 consecutive days, but can repeat 3x in a week.
Dinner and Lunch need to come from different styles/cuisine types. Tortellini for lunch, so no Ramen for dinner. Hamburger for lunch, no pot roast for dinner.
Can have salad 2x in a day, but that's like repeating a Course, not a food. It won't be the SAME salad.
I once dated a guy from a very small family -- mom, stepdad, and the guy. Mom would make a huge run of something on Sunday afternoon, and that's what they'd have for dinners and Carried lunches until it was gone-- Usually that'd be Thurs lunch. She did that from the time he was in elem school until he graduated and moved to college. He was astounded by the foods that we discovered on the college Restaurant Row.
re: EWSflash
Ditto. I make something new for dinner almost every night. I can repeat things I love though.
In general I like variety, both between lunch and dinner, or over the course of a week. I have no problem eating leftovers on the second day, though.
So if we're having Japanese for dinner, I probably won't have Japanese for lunch. And my husband and I alternate nights for cooking, so we check with each other what we're making that week. When I cook, I try to vary the starch content (so we don't have rice 7 days in a row) and the main dish, but am more likely to duplicate salads from night to night.
If I'm really into something, it shows up more frequently, but not every night.
I can eat something I love more than once a day and several days in a row. Even longer. I love what I love and if I I want to eat it every day for a week, I do so, though I often will change it up by experimenting with favors, etc. For example, I was on a tomato soup kick for a while but I would change it up by adding different herbs. Basil one day, dill another, different types of cheeses, etc.
My husband is not quite that weird, but he is happy to eat leftovers a couple days in a row. When I make leftovers, I change things up so it isn't an exact duplicate of the day before.
Oddly enough, my 12-year-old Chowpup is the one who insists on the most variety. She loves trying different things and she does not want to be bored with her food. I love her sense of adventure...her attitude about food has actually helped me be more adventurous. She was like most kids and wanted to eat the same three things over and over while a toddler, but one she started school, all that changed. She goes to a private school and the lunch ladies there are amazing....they make a wide variety of foods and present a lot of really healthy end interesting options..not the usual Sysco stuff.
My breakfasts and snacks are pretty consistent, and my lunches generally are leftovers from the night before. But my dinners I get variety. I have what I call "recipe ADD". I'll make something that's really fantastic, but I don't get around to making it again for weeks or even months because I love to try new things. I also try not to repeat "genres" within the week. So if I make an asiany dish on Monday, I try not to make something else asiany the rest of the week.
my local burger joint serves this stuff they call Yuzo Jalepeno Slaw. (made with a vinaigrette, no mayo.)
i've centered dinner around it for three days straight now.
another favorite restaurant of mine makes a spicy, gingery, steamed cod. i have that as one of my dishes every time i go to that restaurant. the last time i was there, sitting at the chef's counter, as the dish was being plated, the chef asked, "i wonder how many times over the last year i've made this dish for you?"
for breakfast, every day i have the same thing: a homemade iced blended mocha made with valrhona cocoa powder. i also throw a chunk of dark chocolate into the mix to give it a little texture.
i guess that answers your question
Lunches for me are an exercise in sameness. It's either leftovers or salad. That's it. And I don't have a problem with that.
Breakfast is always some sort of bran muffin (two) and a small glass of OJ. Again, no problem.
But supper is all about variety. We have a dinner recipe index comprised of close to 400 dishes, and we rotate through them, one by one as they come up in the rota.
Breakfast is 99% sausage and eggs, prep may vary. And side fruit will vary. Lunch is in a resto, as much variety as possible and must be different from dinner. Dinner follows a pattern: App/antipasto, protein, side, wine. And I do have a 'favorite' from each regular restaurant.

Confidence and faith. Staying positive!
I have friends who have been there for years, and friends who have been there for months, but the important thing is that they're THERE.
"Imagine a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety."
The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. And the first to forget is the happiest.

The ability to oppose the ideological blandishments of her time to choose the search for truth and open herself up to the discovery of faith is evidenced by another woman of our time, the American Dorothy Day. In her autobiography, she confesses openly to having given in to the temptation that everything could be solved with politics, adhering to the Marxist proposal: "I wanted to be with the protesters, go to jail, write, influence others and leave my dreams to the world. How much ambition and how much searching for myself in all this!".
The journey towards faith in such a secularized environment was particularly difficult, but Grace acts nonetheless, as she points out: "It is certain that I felt the need to go to church more often, to kneel, to bow my head in prayer. A blind instinct, one might say, because I was not conscious of praying. But I went, I slipped into the atmosphere of prayer ... ".God guided her to a conscious adherence to the Church, in a lifetime spent dedicated to the underprivileged.
In our time there are no few conversions understood as the return of those who, after a Christian education, perhaps a superficial one, moved away from the faith for years and then rediscovered Christ and his Gospel. In the Book of Revelation we read: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, [then] I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me"(3, 20).
General Audience,
February 13, 2013
Reflection – It's kind of nice to have the Pope talking about Dorothy Day, isn't it? Probably most of the readers of this blog have at least heard of her and of the Catholic Worker movement she founded. She has an honored place in the history of Madonna House and Catherine Doherty's life. At a key moment of crisis, when Catherine's work in
had been shut down by a vicious whisper campaign of gossip and the
withdrawal of ecclesial support, a devastating blow to her, Dorothy took her in
briefly and gave her help re-establishing herself in Toronto Harlem.
Catherine always considered Dorothy a true saint of God, and it does seem like her cause for canonization is proceeding nicely. Papal approbation in a general audience certainly carries some weight.
Meanwhile, here's you and me in the Lent of 2013, with a pope retiring and the world in a mess. What are we going to do about it? The option of 'politics' is always before us. By that, I don't necessarily mean politicking, radicalism, or getting involved in the local branch of your preferred party. I certainly don't mean obsessing over the makeup of the College of Cardinals and actively campaigning for the papabile of your choice (have you noticed that I have sternly ignored that topic on the blog? I will continue to do so.).
No, politics is a much broader field than all that. It means finding the solution to the world and its problems, my life and its problems, in the external manipulation of events, people, situations to my favor. Politics is from polis – city – and politics is all about getting the city shaped up and in order according to our best ideas of it.
Politics is not evil—some things do need to be organized, and God does ask us to take care of them—but what of Dorothy Day? What of this blind instinct to pray, to bow the head, to turn to God? What of this God who stands at the door and knocks? 'Politics' in its various expressions is the outward visible course of the world; faith and prayer are like a subterranean spring running along beneath the surface of the world. But without that spring, the world is in a terrible state of thirst, of drought.
Without faith and prayer, our politics tend towards self-serving avarice and vainglorious pride. It is prayer that continually orients us away from self and to God and neighbor. It is prayer that turns our hearts towards the poor, towards deep concerns for justice and charity. It is prayer that humbles us, that tenderizes us, that makes us cry out to God for wisdom and mercy in the face of a world that is in deep trouble and distress.

After rolling his ankle and finishing Sunday's game against the Seahawks at far less than 100 percent, Vikings' wide receiver Percy Harvin has deemed himself a "long shot" to play in next week's game against the Lions. Though Harvin feels the chances are slim, he's not yet ready to concede the fourth missed game of his four year career. "We've got work to do," Harvin told reporters. "It's a long shot but I'm not ruling myself out."
Harvin is one of the toughest players in the NFL - as I alluded to before, he's only missed three games in four years despite frequent nagging injuries. However, Judd Zulgad of ESPN Twin Cities called Harvin a "big-time long shot," and his ankle is reportedly sprained in three different places. It would likely take an immense amount of pain tolerance to play through the injury, and even if Harvin can take the pain, the ankle may not be in good enough shape for him to be effective.
There is both good news and bad news about the timing of Harvin's injury. I'll start with the bad: next on the schedule for the reeling Vikings is a divisional matchup against the Lions. After losing three of their last four, a win against a division opponent could be huge for the Vikings, but they probably won't have Harvin to help them get it done. The good news, however, is that after the game against the Lions, the Vikings have a bye week, which would give Harvin two weeks off to recover from his injury.
Stepping up in Harvin's absence will be Michael Jenkins and Jerome Simpson, who have combined for a mere 34 catches and 404 yards this season. They have almost no shot at making up for Harvin's production, as he has 62 catches for 677 yards on his own. Devin Aromashodu (10 catches, 151 yards) will also get more looks. Running back Toby Gerhart may get more carries than usual, as Harvin is often used as a halfback as well.
Harvin's fantasy owners should be planning other strategies for this week, but can expect Harvin to be back in action after the Vikings' bye. The other receivers aren't worth picking up, as they've done next to nothing all season, and quarterback Christian Ponder has been held to less than 65 yards in two of the Vikings' last three games.

(KCEN) -- A person is dead after what police believe to be an accidental shooting in Harker Heights.
On Sunday at 5:39 p.m., Harker Heights police were called to the 400 block of Core for a shooting.
When police arrived to the home, they found a man with a gunshot wound to the upper torso.
The man was transported to Scott & White Hospital in Temple where he later died from his injuries.
Officials say that the shooting is under investigation but currently believe that the shooting was accidental.
Police are not releasing names at this time.

On Monday, a thin layer of ice and snow remained on Ridgelawn Avenue, but residents said it was better than conditions over the weekend.
"It was slow, but I'm used to it because this is not a main street," said Kevin Dominic, referring to the city's response to the foot of snow that fell in the last week.
He commended the city street department for clearing the main roads in his West Side neighborhood: Hazelwood, Schenley and Mahoning avenues.
"I've lived here for 10 years, and it's what you expect," Dominic said.
Nearby on South Bon Air Avenue, lifelong city resident Nick Lavolpa was shoveling a driveway for his elderly neighbors.
"I've been here all my life, and I think [the city] did a little bit better job" than in the past, he said.
More than a dozen city residents contacted The Vindicator through email or social media Saturday to voice concerns that residential neighborhoods weren't yet plowed.
Sean T. McKinney, city building and grounds commissioner, said he appreciated residents' patience as the department addressed main roads first.
"The process normally is we try to treat primary roads — Market Street, Belmont and Mahoning avenues, McGuffey and McCartney Roads, and Midlothian Boulevard and South Avenue. It takes us about a day to get those open with the snow we had," McKinney said.
After that, the department started on the secondary neighborhood roads and then tertiary roads that are the less populated, such as the Sharon Line-area on the city's East Side, he said.
"We try to touch every road throughout every snowfall," McKinney added. "We may do a passing, and we may not completely clean the road or because of the snow amount, it may be packed down with snow and ice that we have to salt to break up. So it may have looked as though they were never there."
After Wednesday's wallop, 24 city employees worked to clear roads, working 12- to 16-hour shifts. Crews were called out again Saturday afternoon to handle additional snowfall.
Overtime is built into the department's budget, and McKinney said he should have the overtime costs calculated by Wednesday. He added the department benefited from not spending as much last year during the mild winter.
The department also contracts with two Youngstown companies, A.P. O'Horo and Marucci & Gaffney Excavating, for graters that can dig farther down into ice than regular plows, McKinney said.
"We ask for the residents to continue to give us some time and be patient. Whenever there is a parking ban, try their best to park their vehicles in their driveways," he said.
The city did have a parking ban last week, and those who do not adhere to future bans could be asking for trouble.
"If we have streets that are being clogged up, we have an ordinance where we can ticket the vehicle and then have it towed away. We don't do it too often, usually on major arteries and freeways when it is necessary," said police Chief Rod Foley.
Mayor Charles Sammarone said the street department did an "outstanding" job with the main corridors cleared by Thursday and the rest of the city by Friday before heavy snow returned Saturday.
"I remember years ago when we had 100-some employees and the answer on snow removal was to give them three days," he said.
Contributor: Staff writer John W. Goodwin Jr.
I must say that on Wednesday I saw the plow on Hubbard Road make two passes, which is much better than in years past. Good job Youngstown.
What a joke. Other cities have all their side streets plowed within twenty four hours not three days. This article and the comments quoted? All fluff and pure crock. Expectations from substandard city managers and mayor. I only have one question. Is Youngstown bankrupt?
Seriously , oh I saw a grader on my street , shame he didn't put the plow down , main roads done first..... South Ave wasn't very clear which is a shame
Youngstown has to do better if it expects workers to move back to its neighborhoods.
I'm told its often better to leave a few inches of snow on the road than to salt it & risk black ice forming .But whichever way , if other cities clear their roads in 48 hours , so can Youngstown .
According to Boardman Township's website , Mahoning County plows South Avenue & Midlothian Boulevard ; so I'm a little confused about McMr Kinney's comments about these roads . In any case , at least Boardman has snow plowing information on its website . Youngstown's website has none ; & in general reflects poorly on City Hall , making it appear disorganised & archaic . One can easily confirm this by comparing it with websites of other local municipalities that Youngstown doesn't appreciate the value of modern technology & management. Online strategies & snow management will have to be an urgent focus for the next Mayor .
Youngstown, 1100 miles of roadway, 24 workers. Boardman, 144 miles of roadway, 22 workers. Hmmmm. I'll cut Y-town some slack.
First off, the city of Youngstown doesn't have 1100 miles of road to cover. Second, the city of Youngstown is larger than Boardman, so why so few street department personnel? And, we all know it is city personnel on here posting. There is absolutely no excuse for the poor managent of the street department here in Youngstown. Half the department must be in a back room playing cards when they should be plowing. They are all slackards, and if Sammarone knew half of what he's supposed to know, he'd know that plowing residential areas three days after a snow storm is just piss poor management. I can't wait to vote for another mayor. What slackards we have in Youngstown. When will these people ever, ever get it. Even Vindicator reporters are idiots when it comes to this issue and the just outright lack, I'm gonna say this again, the just outright lack of municipal services.
I believe that the street department did a fine job, it's a snow storm, this is Ohio it happens from time to time.
Southside res, you should move further south, like Georgia.
Be realistic
Hmm, 24 city employees to tackle the ENTIRE city of youngstown during a snowstorm. Yet, i saw at least that many circled around a single hole in the pavement during the summer. Strange.
You're right about one thing. I should move to a city that does plow its streets normally. Snow is a given any winter. Why wouldn't a street department plan for that? I'm not sure what you're defending. City workers have bad attitudes and are grossly inefficient. Go ahead and keep defending that mentality right up to the day you really need something from the city. All I'm asking the city to do is TO DO THEIR JOBS!!!!! Is that too much to ask? Apparently for you, it is.
get all the hillbillies to put their cars in their EMPTY driveways might help too. Parking ban is a joke just like all YPD other endeavours ,cars need to be towed if parked but too much trouble to do that..and don't even call to complain or your really in trouble. WOW. Thugstown ya gotta love it
Southside Res:
The Street Department cleans, repairs and patches all assessed streets in the City of Youngstown on a daily basis schedule. The Department conducts the City's Leaf Removal Program, collecting and composting several tons of leaves annually.
Highway Maintenance is responsible, citywide, for over 1100 miles of street and expressway maintenance, including:
•Fencing and guardrail
•Berm and slope repairs
•Drainage and culvert repairs/installations
•Pavement repairs and resurfacing
•Strip patching
•Bridge maintenance
•Debris and litter removal
•Crack sealing
•Snow and ice control
•Pothole repair
"Second, the city of Youngstown is larger than Boardman, so why so few street department personnel? "
Hmm, you think Boardman has a lot more tax money to work with? I betcha!
Danikytn :Hmm, 24 city employees to tackle the ENTIRE city of youngstown during a snowstorm. Yet, i saw at least that many circled around a single hole in the pavement during the summer. Strange.
Very strange. Where was that hole? Must have been an old mine colaspe, you think?
I don't know about the rest of Ytown, but most of MY street is still snowy, icy, and slippery.

San Diego - In a victory for the underdog, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) this week sided with Sheetz of Delaware, Inc., the small convenience store chain that took on the nation's biggest fast food seller for its use of the word "footlong." Earlier in the year, Sheetz filed an opposition against Subway's federal trademark application for "footlong," arguing that the term is generic and has no secondary meaning.
In what turned out to be an all out war between the two companies, both submitted evidence of their own Teflon Surveys, each of which came to a different result as to the same question: Does the term "footlong" identify 12-inch sandwiches?" While the Board ultimately found the answer to be "yes," it noted that there were flaws in both of the surveys.
Making the problem worse for Subway, the TTAB found that even if "footlong" is not generic for sandwiches in the eyes of the general public, it is merely descriptive and lacking in acquired distinctiveness. Despite Subway pointing to the millions of dollars it has spent on marketing the term and its survey finding that 54% of people thought "footlong" referred to a brand name, the Board found that Subway had not used the term as a trademark, but rather to identify 12-inch sandwiches. Given this, it appears that as long as subway used "footlong" in relation to its subs, there is no amount of money it could have spent in ads to prove it had achieved secondary meaning among consumers.
Subway even lost out on its argument that "footlong" is distinctive as a Subway brand based on the numerous successful cease and desist letters the company has sent to other companies using the phrase. Rather than accepting this point, the Board instead found that all it evidenced was the other parties' reluctance to litigate with the enormous fast food chain. Highlighting this issue, the Board wrote, "The fact that applicant's business is much larger than some other establishments using "Footlong" in connection with 12-inch sandwiches does not establish applicant's right to exclusive use of the term." Further, it found that widespread use of the term "footlong" by competitors in itself went to show that the term lacked distinctiveness, marking the final blow for the fast-food sandwich giant.

^^It's because her dress most likely won't be for sale, so none of the retailers have it.
Nike still sucks for this. 4 years ago they had a whole page dedicated to most athletes Olympic attire, but this year they've only released a few nations' outfits...

My guild had some issues downing freya, mainly due to kiters getting killed during the 3 lashers phase, or due to several of the exploding lashers getting killed simultaneously, killing a fair few raid members, or due to having to slow dps on these exploding lashers to the point where we took too long killing them that the next wave spawned on us and caused things to become much more hectic.

Poor Luiz, he lost momentum in a blink of an eye. Up until that exact point he was blatantly breaking Stanislav. It is indeed the unpredictability of this sport what makes it totally different from any other.
Well played SIR…..

Pakistan: Now or Never?
Perspectives on Pakistan
Pakistan, blasphemy, and a tale of two women
For all the bad news coming out of Pakistan, you can't help but admire the courage of two very different women who did what their political leaders failed to do — stood up to the religious right after the killing of Punjab governor Salman Taseer over his call for changes to the country's blasphemy laws.
One is Sherry Rehman, a politician from the ruling Pakistan People's Party, who first proposed amendments to the laws. The other is actress Veena Malik, who challenged the clerical establishment for criticising her for appearing on Indian reality show Big Boss. I'm slightly uncomfortable about grouping the two together — the fact that both are Pakistani women does not make them any more similar than say, for example, two Pakistani men living in Rawalpindi or London. Yet at the same time, the idea that Pakistan can produce such different and outspoken women says a lot about the diversity and energy of a country which can be too easily written off as a failing state or bastion of the Islamist religious right.
Sherry Rehman is living as a virtual prisoner in her home in Karachi after being threatened over her support for amendments to the blasphemy laws. She has refused to leave the country for her own safety, nor indeed to accept the position adopted by her party leaders — that now is not the time to amend the laws. Their argument appears to be that trying to amend the laws now would just add more fuel to the fire after religious leaders defended Taseer's killing and organised huge protests in favour of the current legal provisions.
"There's never a right time," Britain's Guardian newspaper quoted her as saying. "Blasphemy cases are continually popping up, more horror stories from the ground. How do you ignore them?"
"We know from history that appeasement doesn't pay. It only emboldens them," said Rehman.
For background, here is the text of the original law introduced into the Indian Penal Code by British colonial rulers in 1860:
Section 295: Injuring or defiling place of worship, with intent to insult the religion of any class:
"Whoever destroys, damages, or defiles a place of worship, or any object held sacred by any class of persons with the intention of thereby insulting the religion of any class of persons or with the knowledge that any class of persons is likely to consider such destruction, damage or defilement as an insult to their religion, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both."
Here is the version of one of the added clauses which have caused so much acrimony in Pakistan, as amended in 1986 by Pakistan's then military ruler, General Zia-ul-Haq:
Section 295-C: Use of derogatory remarks, etc, in respect of the Holy Prophet (pbuh)
"Whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation, or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life and shall also be liable to fine."
The amendment loses any acknowledgement of intent. Yet intent is not only a fundamental part of any legal system but also an essential attribute of faith. Indeed when Britain abolished its own archaic blasphemy laws in 2008, and these were replaced with laws against inciting religious and racial hatred, the idea of intent was retained.
The row which caused Taseer's death was about amending the Pakistani penal code to reintroduce the concept of intent and end the death penalty. It was never about repealing the laws, nor about allowing people to insult Islam or the prophet Muhammed.
That is the reasoned argument. The leaders of the religious right in Pakistan who have brought thousands out into the street in defence of Taseer's killer would know that both the original colonial law and its amendment were man-made. They would know too, since they are also scholars, the significance of the meaning of intent. But reasoned argument does not work against street power.
Then there was Veena Malik, who according to the Express Tribune, became the first Pakistani woman to reach the top 10 trends on Twitter after she went on television to defend her performance on the Indian reality show. During a popular talk show (see video here), she talked back, or even over, her clerical detractors, and accordng to Pakistan newspaper reports, demanded to know why they were so ready to criticise her while failing to condemn suicide bombings or honour killings.
Even those who are probably not fans of reality television (and I'd count myself among them) praised her courage for speaking up at a time when so many have been silenced.
"Her response to the Mufti and the host, brought to the forefront the harassment women have to face that has conveniently been camouflaged as 'honour and dignity'. But what really pushed me to write this blog was a question Veena asked Mufti Abdul Qawi: 'Why am I being treated this way? Why am I being questioned? What is my fault, Mufti sahab? Because I am a woman? A soft target?' wrote Sana Saleem at Dawn.
"I recall thinking at one point during the show, how Veena Malik did not represent me … But after watching her response to the slurs being hurled her way, I take it back. Veena Malik represents me and many, many women in this country who have been subjected to moral policing. In a country where rape is justified, murderers glorified and women threatened by fatwas, Veena speaks for me and many others."
At the Express Tribune, blogger Saad Zuberi described her as "the only person in Pakistan's ultra-holy green-tinted limelight right now who isn't afraid to say it like it is."
"She's bold, honest and pretty straightforward, which is something I can't say for many Pakistanis out there. Sad, I know, but true. We're all busy being pathetic and jealous and confused, while this woman has, as a friend aptly pointed out, displayed something lacking from not only our so-called saviours but the country at large: balls."
Noor Mahmood,
Thanks very much for writing. We need to hear the views of more Pakistanis to get a rich cross-section of views.
Speaking for myself (and I am sure for many other Indians), I do sympathise with the common man in Pakistan, and recognise that the issues facing ordinary people are the same the world over. For example, I have donated (more than once) to Oxfam for flood relief.
I believe that the events of November 2008 (the Mumbai attacks) have unfortunately traumatised countless numbers of Indians and hardened attitudes against Pakistan. It has been an event that changed things forever for so many people. It's unfortunate that a few people can succeed in creating such strong negative emotions that are not justified when taking the mass of ordinary people into account.
Umair is right that trust takes a long time to build but it can be destroyed by events over a very short timeframe.
We should try in this forum to understand the views of other people, and I hope we do travel some distance in achieving that.
I would once again encourage you to contribute more regularly. It would help us all by interacting with you too.

"They are day to day common man issues. It can happen in India too."
It is already happening in India. Yes the trouble has reached Indian shores. But unlike Pakistan it is not wrapped in religion or caste but plain and straight economics. Indians have been traditionally very good in trade and commerce and are happy to forget the past and move forward provided there are appropriate, favorable and progressive economic conditions for ALL. Thats not the case right now and hence unrest in several parts of India. But definitely its not religion; it never was!
I would agree with Umair that you should not talk of splintering Pakistan all the time. Thats a short sighted policy similar to US whom you condemn so much. You are bound to get back emotional answers for telling someone that his country will be split. I am with Umair on this one. Idea of Pakistan should stay BUT not due to nukes.
@Umair, you listening, NOT with nukes. If Pakistan lives off nukes then you are not letting anyone make a progress. You have nukes and safeguarded your country thats good. Why keep boasting of it. Let someone try to splinter your country and then show them nuke power…why have so much obsession with them?
Had kashmiris really wanted any kind of independence they would have staged far more peaceful protests and would not have harbored people like Geelani amongst them who just want to incite people and make martyrdoms out of those innocents so as to make political gains against Indian central government. For someone sitting outside it is very easy to make foolish comments. Visit Kashmir sometime (instead of using your gut and stomach) and then we can discuss what kashmiris want.
They did indeed! Time has moved on, too late for peaceful marches. If I have learned from your fellow citizens post is that kashmiri rebels have been receiving training in Pakistan, and the attack on Indian city of commerce, was supported by Pakistan ISI oufit. If this is true then these guys are not going to like their compatriots kashmiris to go on a peace march after sixty years. Too bad once again your community is going to face violence. Good luck, 2011 has just commenced!

You are still in 1989. You need to come to 2011. You seem to be behind in time. Your mentality itself reflects that perception. Kashmiris have realized that insurgency does not pay. For almost fifteen years, Pakistan sponsored militants into Kashmir and bled itself dry. Kashmiri youth have gone to stone pelting. Now there is only one thing left – trying Gandhian method. You never know, Gandhi's method is very powerful. It puts unarmed public in front of weapon wielding policemen. The police cannot do anything when the non-violent protester does not give up, filling up jails. If Kashmiri Muslims need their independence, that is the only method that might work with India. Violent methods have been tried and it made Indian grip even tighter. Of course, Muslim kashmiris have been fed on the diet of might being the right, with support for violent ways by Pakistan. So the chances of non-violelnt methods are small. And if any moderate Kashmiri leader tries that, your Mujahideen are there to silence them.
Pakistan is at it again in 2011…

I just dont understand that how with such acts can these Pakistanis expect India to cut down on military presence in Kashmir.
"All this feel good attitude in relation to Pakistan's misery will not help you in the long run."
I very much appreciate your efforts to maintain civility in this discussion.
Having said that, available evidence suggests your statement above is not true. Weakening of Pakistan internally , weakening of Pakistan diplomatically and economically while India getting stronger has been very helpful from the Indian perspective. It may not be nice or friendly to say this, but this is the reality.
25+ years of Pakistan sponsored terrorism inside India pak "liberals" were having fun. After the attack on Indian parliament, hijacking of Indian Airlines flight, pak sponsored transistor bombs exploding in Delhi buses, etc pak response used to be "he he..you can not retaliate"….
It is like watching a Bollywood flick, the villain is paying the price….naturally there is a sense of relief.
Frequently paks comment that Indians are "obsessed" about Pakistan. There are 6 Indians for every single pak in this world, some of us are interested in Indo-Pak conflict and comment on this.
For 63 years "Pakistan" has existed only as militaristic, terrorist sponsoring enterprise indulging in nefarious activities. Before India started supporting Mukti Bahini, Pakistan had launced 2 wars against India, and was heavily financing insurgent/ separatist groups from East Pakistan before 1971.
Both acquiring and holding on to Kashmir have been due to Indian perspective that a muslim majority state will solidify India's secular identity..a point repeatedly pleaded by Indian muslim leaders past 63 years…..Never seen any recognition of this from pak "liberals" even in anonymous blogs…
North Koreanization of Pakistan is unfolding …Pakistan has no use for rest of the world except through negative leverage as a source of terrorism, and holding the west hostage in Afghan quagmire.
At the same time, Indians should not get carried away and imagine that paks do not have the desire or capability to launch some other Mumbai style terrorist attack in India.
777xxx777: "I just dont understand that how with such acts can these Pakistanis expect India to cut down on military presence in Kashmir."
The plan would have been to leave the bodies somewhere and spread rumors about Indian security forces dragging them for interrogation and killing them. Followed by that will be rumors spread far and wide causing agitations and riots. Looks like some elements do not want peace in the region at any cost.
So in your view, no chance for Kashmiris to escape from the Indian military? And you recommend the myth of Gandhian method?
Million of years ago there was no Kashmir or the himalayas, but an ocean. The Indian sub-continent was also not there either. let us see if in 2011 the earth is going to move or the Kashmiris are going to move the intruders out of their land? It is avery long year! Your friend netizen did make some good analysis.
rex Minor
"Egyptians are the softest among arabs! They are on the move now, I pray that Kashmiris do not follow their example! You have not got the faintest idea about muslim women!
I did not mean to be rude. It is really getting boring."
***Example of Egypt is not a bad one actually. One of the rare from you. That is applicable to all Kashmiris, however.
Here is the problem about "your idea" of "Muslim women". Which Muslim women are you talking about: Kashmiri, Saudi, Pushtoon or Bengali? Have we not learned so far that it is hard to generalize given the diverse cultural flavors of Muslims across the globe?
What you are talking about as "muslim women" is is a gender issue, not religion-specific.
Sherry Rehman and Veena Malik case is a gender issue as an example, nothing to do with their religions.
"I did not mean to be rude. It is really getting boring."
*** On a lighter note, I always mistype your name as Rx before I correct it. I don't know why.
"Indians should try to understand ordinary Pakistan's issues and be sympathetic. Wishing for the country to splinter up will offer no benefit to anyone including India. Please do not even wish that Pakistan should break up on its own. It won't do any good to anyone. It will make things worse. Who gets affected by all this? Ordinary people."
***I agree about your opinion about splintering up of Pakistan. So do many Indians, more than some Pakistanis believe. Most Indians actually do not even think about it. This is just individual opinion but at policy level, India in its own interests will not do it and cannot do splintering etc. This has been stated by PM of India several times that Pakistan's stability is in India's interest. For the sake of argument even if India has any such intentions, it cannot do it in post-Nuke era. I have said stressed this to my dear friend Umair several times. Recently Chinese news offered a similar splintering up of India in Chinese interests. All these talks are talks or psychological warfare in the backdrop of past successes (India in 1971 and China in 1962 although China did not split India). I do not foresee Chinese walking across the border and doing stuff in pre-Nuke old way. Same is true for India in the case of Pakistan. Times have changed but we seemed to be stuck in the past.
@"Indians should try to understand ordinary Pakistan's issues and be sympathetic."
*** I would extend this to all over the place and everyone should do that, including Pakistanis. If we can not feel for a human just because we do not have a personal connection, we have some problem. In India, in my rough guess, there are people who feel relief that Pakistan is getting its own medicine. It is more of a human behavior than anything else. Others have totally opposite views.
Let us take the positives too. Indians have donated for flood crisis and that perhaps includes some of the Indian posters here too.
From Indian perspective one thing that emerged after Mumbai 2008 attack, and angers Indians in general, is that Pakistanis did not condemn the act with the intensity a normal peaceful compassionate human should do. There was a denial by masses in Pakistan that it could even be done by Pakistan-based terrorists. Let me add here that among those who noticed this trend were compassionate Pakistanis who clearly have no love for AK-47-wielding human out to kill another one. Several years, later despite evidence and admission by Pakistan govt, those people have become muted in their theories but do not condemn that act.
It always amazes me how people suffering from terrorism cannot recognize the pain of another one. We have all kinds of "ifs and buts" to it.
Pakistan: "So in your view, no chance for Kashmiris to escape from the Indian military? And you recommend the myth of Gandhian method?"
If Kashmiris bank of insurgents and helpers from Pakistan, they will face the Indian military. If they genuinely stood up on their own, I will honor their demand. I may not like to let people go based on religion, but then that is only an opinion. People's voice must be respected. They make the choice and they pay for whatever consequences that can arise due to emotional decisions. Kashmir's independence is only the first step in Pakistan's agenda. Once they make sure India is out of there, they will not care a rats rear end and infiltrate the place with their non-state actors. At least one can throw stones at a military. Who can take the aim at militants? The goal from Pakistani side would be to eliminate anyone who desires free Kashmir and their leaders brutally and bring everyone under the merge-with-Pakistan umbrella. And anti-India venom will be injected copiously to push the population in that direction. Then they can declare openly about people's choice and will for merging with the nation only Allama Iqbal could dream of. If Kashmiris rebel, RAW will be blamed for training them and creating chaos inside the Islamic paradise. Or to keep the people engaged, the next Jihad will be launched inside India, probably in Punjab and other neighboring states. Missiles will move close to New Delhi. I can see the whole thing coming. That is why I pray that Kashmiris do not lose their minds and commit the next big blunder. But if they still follow Gandhian method, there will be no choice but to give in to their demands and pray for the best.
Poor kashmiris! On a serious note, have you ever considered writing a book?
Rex Minor
Pakistan: "Poor kashmiris!"
Now you understand. That's good. They will be crushed by the waiting Pakistan if they decide to go on their own.
"On a serious note, have you ever considered writing a book?"
Yep. I am going to write a comedy book with you as the main character in it. am still deciding on the title.
