Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley | Poets.org
Love's Philosophy
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?
See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea--
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
Percy Bysshe Shelley was born in 1792 and is considered to be one of the most influential English lyric poets. He produced numerous works of poetry and prose. Shelley died in 1822.

|John Lewis wooden toy kitchen £50
One of JL's top-selling toys this Christmas. Junior chefs can keep busy while hard-liners in the war on plastic look on approvingly. "We've had the John Lewis wooden toy kitchen for years, it's lovely and well played with," says one Mumsnetter.
|LeapPad Ultra £79.99

|Furby Boom £59.99
The Furby's return is big news this Christmas. Isn't this Sarah Lund-esque festive edition delightful? As Mumsnetter wintercyclist says: "Furbys have come a long way. From creepy little toys with strange faces to quite cute and very fluffy."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The San Francisco Giants are honoring Dave
Dravecky on the 20th anniversary of his comeback from cancer.
Dravecky will throw out the first pitch before Monday night's Giants game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Dravecky pitched eight innings to beat Cincinnati in his comeback game on Aug. 10, 1989, 10 months after have surgery to remove a malignant growth from his pitching arm.
Five days later at Montreal, Dravecky's surgery-weakened upper left arm snapped as he threw a pitch, and he fell to the mound in pain. Two months later, it broke again during a celebration after the Giants' playoff-clinching game against the Chicago Cubs.
Dravecky never pitched again and his left arm was amputated in 1991. He says he has no regrets about making the comeback.

Your wardrobe needs this essential shell. The stretch silk georgette fabric is medium-weight and is light in essence but not sheer. Use the arrow to view the front and back to see the overall blouson shape and then to see the angled shoulder and drape and to see the shirred and tacked detail at the empire line. The hem has thin elastic to keep the shape intact. It fits true to size. Leon Max Collection.
Textural, a-lined and a must-own skirt: this foulard jacquard woven skirt brings back the yearning for sportswear. Use the arrow to view up closely and click to see both color options. The front has a clean shape whilst the back has 2 deep double-pleats which add a peplum-like shape. It fits true to size, fully-lined. Leon Max Collection.

Active Questions
|Guys / 10:22 PM - Wednesday December 26, 2012
Just curious: what would you do if the guy you like asked you out but your friends didn't approve?
I don't personally know what I would do in that situation. What would you do?
- Asked by anjelicathemusicgeek, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 16, Indianapolis, Artist / Musician / Writer
I've been close to being in a situation like this more than once xD and I might be in one again soon.
- Response by deuchoix, A Trendsetter, Girl, 18-21, Artist / Musician / Writer
it honestly depends on how close you are with the guy, what going on love ? :)
- Response by truelove42, A Trendsetter, Girl, 18-21
I remember I really really liked this sweet, wonderful boy, but he was really akward from time to time and a little dorky. He had also used to be really clingy towards my best friend. My friends all thought he was a loser and a couple of them were not afraid to tell me NUMEROUS times. I loved him though. I really think I did. One day, he told me he was moving. I didn't really believe him until he started mentioning his family packing everything. He hated the little town we're from, and I could tell that he was relived to get out, but I knew he was a little sad too. If he hadn't left, I think it would have been wonderful, and I still miss him more than a year later. He was an amazing person with a socially akward golden heart that I came to adore in him. I'll never forget him, so NEVER let your friends tell you to not go for a guy when he ROCKS.
- Response by where4artthou, A Pop Culture Queen, Girl, 16, Student
if she was just a friend i would still go out with him if i knew him but if she me bff or a guy friend i would trust him
- Response by notsoperfect13, A Techie, Girl, 15
Hmm, that is a tough one. But if i go off of my current crush that i've had forever, i think i would go for it! I feel that if i talked it through enough with my friends, they would come to an understanding and find approval in him. :)
- Response by beingfearless, A Trendsetter, Girl, 18-21
If I really liked them, I'd date them anyway. My friends don't really like my boyfriend.. But I don't care. They don't have to date him.
- Response by gabbasworld, An Arty Girl, Girl, 17, Student
Depending on the situation I would most likely date him anyway.
- Response by soulwriterxxx, An Arty Girl, Girl, 17, Atlanta, Retail
Well I wouldn't care if they didn't approve of us going out he , didn't ask them. If there my real friends they would just want me to be happy .
- Response by itsdesteny1, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 17, Las Vegas
Uhmmm..i dont really know. If it was a guy that i really really liked, then i probably would just go out with him because i wanted to. But if my friends diddnt approve because they have heard bad rumors about the guy or seen things or someting like thaat, then i would reconsider. My first and only boyfriend that i was dating not too long ago, my friends didnt really exactly ''approve'' because they just didnt like him. But i dated him anyways soo..
- Response by A Pop Culture Queen, Girl, 16
I would date him.
- Response by awkwardsitch5, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 16, Artist / Musician / Writer
Go for it. Its not their buisness or their relationship, they dont really have a say in it.
- Response by jeni234, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 18-21, Seattle
Well first of all,I think I would try to find out WHY my friends didn't approve of him....then depending on what they say,I don't know if I would say yes or no
- Response by imjustmelovlies, A Pop Culture Queen, Girl, 17, Who Cares?
It really depends on the guy and why they don't approve of him.I would hear my friends out because for me,friends also come before guys. :) wbu?
- Response by 08loveliyah, A Beauty Expert, Girl, 15, Student
Well, I like this guy in my school, but my friends dont like him because he cheated on his Ex and they think he's bad for me, but im the one dating him and not my friends
- Response by UnoULuvBB, A Flirt, Girl, 17, New York, Student
It depends on why they don't approve of him. If they think he's a bad guy then I'd listen to my friends, but if it was just because they thought he was ugly or dumb or something like that, then I would say yes to him.
- Response by A Do-Good Girl, Girl, 17
I would still go for it because at the end of the way it's me that is dating him, not my friends! They just have to grow to accept it!
- Response by xxsparkletracy, A Trendsetter, Girl, 18-21
i'm fortunate to have great friends who are very accepting of me and my choices. however, if the reason they didn't like him had something to do with the way he acts in a relationship or if they dated him (seriously) before then i would hesitantly decline..
- Response by An Arty Girl, Girl, 16, Student
Well I'd ask them WHY they don't approve, then I'd decide whether or not to date him
- Response by homedawgg, An Eco Chick, Girl, 15, Chicago, Student
Honestly, my friend don't care who i date really. I don't have that judgmental friends. But they have disproved of guys ive dated before, and I dated them anyways. Honestly, follow your heart. If your friends are true friends they will stand beside you no matter WHAT you do.

Contemporary Soma @ The Bohemia Room (Grand Central)
697 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL – Downtown Miami
March 12, 2014
This picture is worth a thousand and one words…….nah I made that up …sorry …but seriously being asked "do you get nervous whenever you perform?" the answer three years ago would of been "yeah", but now why be nervous when you have something to say? I wanted to show this photo to the people who aren't performers… and say "would you be nervous if you have something to say?" (A question for a question). Talking about my music on here could be very light coming from me, but I'm not really talking about my music now… I'm still talking about this one microphone. As you could see nobody was there yet, but subconsciously this is what I see and feel in the duration of my skits. I don't hear or see much, it's peaceful up there to me, even if there's someone wildlin' in the audience. Every time I go to a show I gradually sense myself being more of the character I named myself three years ago. Mevoke means "Mandella being the cause of something" it's pronounced (M-evoke) not (Me-voke). Mandella is my legal name I was given from my dad after the great Nelson Mandela, he decided to add an extra "L" in my name, but I'm getting off topic now. Getting back on topic, I finished this poem in February, but way before I even started to write (in December I believe) I told myself "I wanna write a poem and then perform it somewhere" and that's what I did… I showed up to this place I never been to before alone… with no friends….no family….you could say this was a "me giving myself to the people" type of thing. They were respectful, but awfully quite, probably the depths in the poem synergized the environment or it could of been my hearing being detained from me. Who knows, but the experience of walking up to the mic is like someone telling me in my head "take what's given to you" …that person never fails to tell me that in my head. This is the second time I didn't recite my lyrics entirely for the entire day to refresh my memories before the performance. Going over it over and over and over again for a week or so should be enough. If it's there it's there, if it's not there then it's not there… it's not me being hard on myself, you just gotta trust talent sometimes. Oddly enough I feel as if I have superpowers more than I even have talent, being able to place the people in a galaxy of emotions for two plus minutes is something I can't take credit for. God is making me a better artist every day. I don't know how or where my lines come from, but I do know the man above is the one blessing me with them. Lastly before I end this, I would like to shove in this little reminder I've telling myself often… "If nobody celebrates you, celebrate yourself" ….that's it.

Since the ingredient list for this (spoof) cocktail is very questionable, drinking it is off-limits. That said, I wouldn't put it past Leonardo DiCaprio to raise a glass of this, paste on a smirk and toast to us all.

1. The Wake Up
Head pounding, room spinning, wake up, groggily putting pieces together after debauchery of last night's birthday celebration. Naked in bed. My fiancé beside me. Memory flash of him picking me up off of hallway entrance floor last night, carrying me upstairs, undressing me like a baby. OMG! FUCK! I have a baby! Dear god, what kind of mother am I? More
There are as many kinds of hangover as there are types of spiritous beverage, each one belongs purely and wholly to itself, like Puck or Tom Bombadil. Find yours below!
The Ingenue
Like the female lead in a romantic comedy from the 1930s, this hangover inspires you to lead a finer and purer life. Notes of remorse and shame are undercut by a noticeable current of hope for the future. Tomorrow will be better. You will be better. This will never happen again. More
Barf, hurl, vomit or puke — it's called throwing up, but it really brings me down. Even if you have a friend who swears she will always be there to hold your hair back, sooner or later we all barf on ourselves. It happens to everyone, particularly after a night of too little food and too much whiskey. More

Rated 5 out of 5�by SMARSHALL These are AWESOME!!! I have always had a problem with getting cold while hunting but not anymore. These will keep you warm and comfortable while hunting in cold weather. September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Radioman Good quality Looks good and is quiet. The legs and arms are good and long for tall people. April 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Fenie This coverall has great features This coverall that I ordered was what I was looking for. Dick's has very fast delivery. One thing that puzzled me though, was that it had papers in one of the pockets. To me, this item must have been warn by somebody. The paper talks about shot description and has names on it. Also some rules for shooting. I hope this is not a used coverall. Sure looks like it was. I should not have paid full price for a used item. March 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Welcome to NO-Jersey warm & dry ! I've been hunting in these for about a month now, in record cold temps here in "NO"- Jersey. These coveralls deliver ! Very warm & rainblocker keeps me dry, blocks wind too. I dont find the material to be noisy as in some other reviews, nothing is going to be perfectly silent when you rub against tree bark. Pant legs run a little long but who cares, your not wearing them to dinner. I got these on sale but after hunting in them I would have paid full price. Just get 'em. January 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by markwho? good value these coveralls are very warm and comfortable with plenty of pockets...easy to put on coveralls..when you have a safety vest on over the coveralls you have to unzip from the top to vent or whatever..this should have a 2 zipper front so you can zip from the bottom up for vent or going to the bathroom... January 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by bigDave exceptional value Got sent a pair of Youth's XL first by mistake. Call customer service and they swiftly re-shipped another Men's XL to me which I just received. I am 6'3" - 205 and have always been reluctant to order/buy outerwear not listed as Tall/BigMan due to the arm and leg lengths never being long enough for a proper fit. Well I took a chance on these since the price was 50% off and ordered the XL. These fit perfect over a base-layer + jeans/flannel shirt. These must run longer in the arm/legs and boy am I grateful for that. Feel soft and quiet and with appropriate layering these could hold up in the 28-36 degree temp. range. The leg zippers all the way to lower waist going over my hunting boots with ease. Can't wait to wear them this weekend, as the rut is full blast now. I am one super happy tall fella...yeeehaa. Thanks Dick's for offering such a great product at a great price. Customer service rocks !!! January 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by dot123 very nice the coverall came with a hole in the pocket, contacted customer service and was surprised at the customer service response. Taken care of immediately. The next order of geese decoys was to contain 12 decoys but only had 11 in the box called customer service they said we should receive by Friday jan17th. So far would recommend dealing with DICKS January 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by sandy Product has great features I went into the Lexington, KY store and I was amazed how helpful they were. I told them what I needed and they took care of it for me with a smile on their face. The product is amazing. They are light weight, scent shield and fit nicely. Very Satisfied!! Thanks SO MUCH!!! January 9, 2014

UK News
Insights from the UK and beyond
from The Great Debate UK:
Budget day: Politics not economics
--Sam Hill is Senior UK economist at RBC. The opinions expressed are his own.--
The headlines generated by the forthcoming UK budget are likely to be political rather than economic; the general election is next year. Despite a faster than expected fall in unemployment and inflation, macroeconomic developments since the December autumn statement present limited scope for forecast revisions to government borrowing. But come the post-budget analysis, some of the seemingly esoteric revised economic assumptions may have important consequences for how the budget is perceived politically.
The modest changes we do expect to the economic forecasts would be seen as positive in essence. Small upgrades to the growth outlook should translate into borrowing reductions of between £3 billion and £6 billion per year throughout the five-year horizon. That would leave the underlying measure of borrowing at £332 billion for the six years to 2018-19, down from £358 billion in the existing forecast from December, which itself represented a significant improvement on last year's budget.
In these terms the presentation of the budget maths looks, on the face of it, to be a good news story for the government. It can claim deficit reduction is getting back on track. The complication comes though in the assessment that is made by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) about the responsible way to approach tackling the rest of the deficit from here.
The risk for the government is that the OBR's updated outlook leads to the conclusion that further tax hikes or spending cuts are needed – despite those falls in the overall borrowing forecast. Whether or not this happens depends on how much below its capacity size the OBR thinks the economy is operating, both now and in future. The further below full potential the economy is judged to be, the more of the deficit it is safe to assume will disappear naturally as the economy grows. Conversely, if the OBR say there is no spare capacity, the entire remaining deficit from that point must be dealt with by announcing further policy tightening. This portion of the deficit is the structural deficit.
from The Great Debate UK:
Budget preview: Don't expect pyrotechnics
--Nick Beecroft is Chairman, Saxo Capital Markets, Saxo Bank. The opinions expressed are his own.--
Those expecting a rivetingly exciting spectacle when the chancellor announces his budget next Wednesday will be in for disappointment, but that doesn't mean that this won't be an intensely political budget, given this really represents his last chance to make changes which will be fully appreciated by the electorate by the next general election. Having said this, his room for manoeuvre is limited, and the effect on the overall fiscal balance will be minimal.
from The Great Debate UK:
Budget background: Dark with light patches
--Laurence Copeland is a professor of finance at Cardiff University Business School. The opinions expressed are his own.--
Spring has sprung.
The grass has riz.
I wonder when the Budget is….
On 19th March actually or, more importantly in this age of nonstop campaigning, six weeks before the European elections and barely a year away from the general election. Since the 2015 Budget will be too late to affect our wallets before we go to the polls, this is George Osborne's last chance to reassure us that the economic situation is under control. Will he be able to resist the temptation to give us a reward for our patience through four years of austerity and to reassure us that the misery is nearly over?
from The Great Debate:
Britain's austerity experiment is faltering
It was the Welsh sage Alan Watkins who remarked that a budget that looked good the day it was delivered to the British Parliament was sure to look terrible a week later, and vice versa. The avalanche of new information dumped by the Treasury is simply too much to grasp at a single sitting, and governments tend to bury bad news in a welter of statistics. And so it proved with finance minister George Osborne's budget served up last week.
The immediate headlines stressed that rich Brits would pay less income tax – down from 50 percent to 45 percent – but it only took a day before even traditional Conservative cheerleaders like the Daily Mail were condemning Osborne for funding tax breaks for bankers and billionaires by stealing from those living in retirement. The paper's cover screamed: "Osborne picks the pockets of pensioners."
from The Great Debate:
Should Obama mimic David Cameron's austerity?
By Nicholas Wapshott
The opinions expressed are his own.
In medieval times, a key member of a monarch's retinue was the food taster, a hapless fellow who ate what his master was about to eat. If the taster survived, the food was deemed safe for the king's consumption. President Obama has a taster of sorts in David Cameron, the British prime minister, who has embarked upon an economic experiment that echoes the recipe of wholesale public spending cuts and tax hikes needed if both sides in Congress are to agree to raising the federal government debt ceiling. How the British economy is faring offers Obama an idea of what a similarly radical policy of cutting and taxing here would mean to the American economy.
Cameron's election in May 2010 coincided with the start of the Greek debt crisis. The Bank of England governor Mervyn King warned him that the public debt in the UK was so large that Britain, too, might see its lending become impossibly expensive, so Cameron decided that there was no time to lose in putting the fiscal books in order. He decided to slash public spending by 25 per cent over four years and immediately raise value added tax on goods and services from 17.5 to 20 per cent. Such a radical remedy found favor with the rump of British Conservatives who felt that Margaret Thatcher's free-market, small government, "sound money" policies of the Eighties had not been pressed to their limit. In turn, Thatcher's prescription to reduce the size of the state derived from her favorite thinker Friedrich Hayek, the author of "The Road to Serfdom," who believed like many Tea Party supporters that government intervention inevitably leads to tyranny.
What did you think of the 2011 budget?
George Osborne has delivered his budget speech for the 2011/12 fiscal year to parliament.
The Chancellor said corporation tax would be cut by two percentage points to 26 percent from April, rather than by just the one point originally planned. A levy on banks would be increased to help pay for it.
from The Great Debate UK:
Thinking outside the budget-shaped box
- Dave Coplin is national technology editor at Microsoft UK. The opinions expressed are his own.-
The emergency budget was announced recently as a means to tackle the country's deficit and Britain's current economic situation.
from The Great Debate UK:
VAT rise – is it really that bad?
Rachel Mason is public relations manager at Fair Investment Company. The opinions expressed are her own.-
So the new coalition government is putting VAT up from 17.5 percent to 20 percent on January 4 2011 and the country is up in arms, but is it really that bad?
from The Great Debate UK:
Entrepreneurs needed if the UK is going to make up the deficit
-Joe White is managing director of Moonfruit.com. The opinions expressed are his own. Join Reuters for a live discussion with guests as UK Chancellor George Osborne makes an emergency budget statement at 12:30 p.m. British time on Tuesday, June 22, 2010.-
The first Tory budget is a critical one. The Treasury and Chancellor George Osborne have been dropping hints for weeks about a big slash in public sector spending in an effort to try and prepare Whitehall for the worst, and to rally the private sector to step in and fill the deficit.
from The Great Debate UK:
Osborne to show no sympathy for middle or high earners
-Nick Earl is partner at chartered financial planners Wardour Partners LLP. The opinions expressed are his own. Join Reuters for a live discussion with guests as UK Chancellor George Osborne makes an emergency budget statement at 12:30 p.m. British time on Tuesday, June 22, 2010.-
On Tuesday we will hear the first budget from new Chancellor George Osborne.
From the snippets of information we have heard from the Lib-Con coalition camp, I do not anticipate this budget will show much sympathy for middle or high earners.

Managed to sneak out at lunchtime to a little site near where I work that I've just discovered.
In a bit of a rush as I don't get long for lunch, and this was just a recce trip really.
Took loads of pictures before I realised I still had the ISO set very high from doing night shots a week ago.
Does anyone have any special methods for remembering to check settings before taking pictures?
I'm a bit of a numpty anyway
Quote: Took loads of pictures before I realised I still had the ISO set very high from doing night shots a week ago.
Just keep shooting
Especially for those of us without custom settings buttons, its just a case of shooting more - making mistakes, kicking yourself for making them and then remembering not to make that mistake again next time!
Most annoying thing for me is that (least on my 400D) my ISO stays fixed even when I change modes on the dail - a real pain when you setup two or more modes for different shooting (like wildlife in aperture priority mode and shutter priority for some frozen action shots) only to find that after turning the dial you also have to adjust ISO!

Quote: loads of pictures before I realised I still had the ISO set very high
You are not the first person to do that. There was at least one person before you, but I expect we're members of a very big club.
I expect a simple check list or mnemonic would do, but as it sounds like you remembered both the camera and the lens, and had a battery and a ram card, you're doing pretty well already.
Sometimes it's the ones taken when you've not checked, that turn out bestLast Modified By aftertherain at 8 Sep 2008 - 7:23 PM
I always have a quick look at the ones i have taken before carrying on - i try to use manual settings as much as possible, and so always check to see if i've got the settings right, and adjust accordingly. Maybe use the image review function (if your camera has it) so the image automatically is displayed after shooting
I like the idea of a mnemonic. Does anyone use one for their camera settings?
Been trying to come up with one - not doing very well. This is the best I can do.......
White balance
File format
Feel like I'm being nagged already
Can you do better?
Use the same ISO for every frame
With one or two exceptions I've used the same ISO for the last 20 years so using the wrong one is not an issue for me.
What I have done, occasionally, is to forget to check the aperture when changing the lens and end up with an over / under exposed frame.
But I may only waste one / two frames at most as I check the meter reading / aperture / shutter speed regularly.
I generally reset my camera to the same settings immediately after use when I have finished work for the day.
ISO 800, evaluative metering, aperture priority, f4, cloudy WB, exposure compensation off, fine jpeg quality mode, AF on AI servo mode.
Then you know where you are when you pick it up.
I'm a press photographer so I don't really consider ISO 800 to be high, plus on the MKIII 800 is like 400 on the old MKII ( it used to be ISO 400 but in the British climate I find these settings to be quite good to just grab the camera out of the bag and shoot).Last Modified By samfurlong at 8 Sep 2008 - 9:52 PM
I just realised the mnemonic depends on individual work style, I suppose with a DSLR we all need to remember the camera body, the (right) lens, the battery and the ram, but then I often use the mirror lock and timer delay together - if they're still on when you try an action snap, dismay and swearing ensue.
Thus far all my personal mnemonic attempts have been very rude.
Yes, I have gone out with lenses and no body.
I never went with no lens, but I did go with the wrong lens.
Thankfully the camera tells me if the battery is no good or the card is missing - but I have to remember to carry the spares.

United troops trying to take back Tripoli
United troops trying to take back Tripoli
TRIPOLI: Libya's internationally-recognised prime minister said yesterday that military forces in the strife-torn country had united to try to recapture Tripoli and the second city Benghazi from Islamist militias.
Abdullah Al Thani also expressed his frustration over a lack of support from the international community, calling for foreign weapons and assistance in the fight against the Islamists.
"All military forces have been placed under army command to liberate Tripoli and Benghazi soon, inshallah (God willing)," Thani told AFP in a telephone interview from the eastern town of Al Baida.
Since a 2011 revolution which toppled Libya's longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi, interim authorities have failed to establish a regular army and had to rely on state-backed militias.
Former rebels who fought against Gaddafi have formed powerful militias and seized control of large parts of turmoil-gripped Libya over the past three years.
On Wednesday, retired general Khalifa Haftar launched an operation against Islamist militias in the eastern city of Benghazi with the backing of army units and civilians who have taken up arms.
The operation is "under the control of the regular army and the control of the government and the parliament," said Thani.
An AFP count based on hospital sources in the city put the death toll in Benghazi at 66 since Haftar's offensive began, including eight killed yesterday and four who died in a suicide attack the previous day.
Haftar launched a first, unsuccessful campaign against Islamists in the city back in May but failed to muster support from the authorities who accused the Gaddafi-era general of trying to mount a coup.
Before this week's assault, Haftar's forces had been steadily beaten back to a final redoubt at Benghazi's airport, which has come under attack by Islamists since mid-September.
Thani's government and parliament, elected on June 25, have taken refuge in the country's east to escape Fajr Libya, a mainly Islamist coalition which seized control of Tripoli at the end of August.
The fall of the capital followed a weeks-long battle with pro-government militias from the town of Zintan in western Libya.
Thani said the Zintan forces had also been placed under army command and joined regular units which aim to recapture the capital.
"All the forces have been placed under the command of the army to liberate Tripoli," Thani said.
He branded Fajr Libya as "outlaws" who had set up an "illegitimate" parallel government and alleged the group was the armed wing of movements such the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist factions.
Unlike its predecessor, Libya's new parliament is dominated by anti-Islamist lawmakers. AFP
Explaining the Meeting between some elders of Zintan and Misrata in Sabratha
Explaining the Meeting between some elders of Zintan and Misrata in Sabratha
Make no mistake these people who are a couple of 100 people are a partial tribe of the Zintan and are NOT with the other part of the Tribes of Zintan who have Saif al Islam Qaddafi.
The western media, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Ansar Sharaia, LIFG or as they are called now Daash and Libya Dawn(shits) are using the face book and Twitter social media so that they can misinform the public and all Libyans who have sworn allegiance with the Honorable Tribes its distasteful to try to destroy the image or the conquests of the Honorable Tribes.
This meeting that took place in Sabratha the so-called elders of Zintan are Muslim Brotherhood and Ansar Sharaia very extreme which suits of course the above mentioned terrorist groups together with the USA Deborah Jones ambassador. (According to the media center the meeting done in Sabratha included partial elders of Zintan and Misrata who tried to sponsor an initiative of the Municipal Council the leaders of the rebels Sabratha boat house Tallil, in an attempt to heal the rift between the two cities.)

Spies, Lies & Whistleblowers: MI5, MI6 and the Shayler Affair by Annie Machon
Spies, Lies & Whistleblowers: MI5, MI6 and the Shayler Affair by Annie Machon
I desperately wanted to change MI5 so that it performed a useful job well and lawfully, but I did not then feel that I would have been able to do that either from outside the organisation or from a lower level job. In every potential situation, I therefore came up against a dead end. To complain would mark you out as a troublemaker. To leave took you outside any potential ability to alter things. — David Shayler
But I soon realised that people regarded you with suspicion if you asked too many questions, so I learned to keep quiet … I knew that open protest was not likely to to be successful. If one got a reputation as a revolutionary, one would be regarded as suspect and written off. — Dame Stella Rimington, former Director General MI5
I know all too well that I'm taking on the Establishment, but I am no traitor. All I am guilty off is exposing wrongdoing at the highest level. As a result of that my life has been changed irrevocably. This is not the prosecution of someone who has given away State secrets, but of someone who has embarrassed the Government. — David Shayler
You are working for an intelligence agency and you find it to be rotten to the core. What do you do: do you keep your head down and pretend not to notice what is going on all around you, do you raise your concerns with your superiors, or do you go public with what you know?
This was the dilemma facing David Shayler, an intelligence officer in MI5, the British internal intelligence agency. David Shayler took the riskiest option of the three and went public with what he knew, in doing so putting his life and freedom at risk.
MI5 and the government went on the offensive, doing their best to discredit David Shayler and the sordid tale he had to tell. Facing arrest and possible imprisonment, David Shayler fled to France.
In the meantime, Annie Machon, David's girlfriend and herself an MI5 officer, appalled at the treatment of David, went public too to say that what he was telling was the truth.
And if that was not enough, Richard Tomlinson, an MI6 officer, spoke out at the abuses and lack of accountability at MI6.
David Shayler voluntarily returned from France to face trial. He was one of the first to try to make use of the Human Rights Act, which should guarantee the right to a fair hearing.
Unfortunately it was anything but. What David Shayler faced was a political show trial. He was even gagged and not allowed to speak in his own defence.
Writing several years after they first went public, Annie Machon documents in Spies, Lies & Whistleblowers: MI5, MI6 and the Shayler Affair what all the furore was about.
David and Annie witnessed at first hand:
how MI5 failed to foil at least four major IRA terrorist attacks
that MI5 compiled dossiers on British citizens for holding dissident political views
a blind eye turned to a known Libyan terrorist organising terror networks in the UK
illegal persecution of an innocent journalist
MI6 funding of an Al-Qaeda coup in Libya to topple and assassinate Colonel Gaddafi
In Spycatcher Peter Wright wrote of how MI5 'bugged and burgled its way across London'. Writing a generation later, Annie Machon shows that not a lot has changed: drunken officers who lose sensitive files, turf wars between the various agencies, turf wars between different sections within MI5, bureaucratic bungling, cavalier attitude to human rights, blatant lying to Ministers and an oversight committee, dirty tricks and smear campaigns against perceived enemies, enemies of the intelligence agencies that is, not enemies of the state, etc etc.
There were so many cock-ups in dealing with the Provisional IRA that it is a wonder they were ever defeated. This bodes ill for defeating Islamic terrorism. Irish terrorists were at least 'decent' terrorists. They shared the same values as us, they gave a warning when they planted a bomb, they were not intent on killing people, whereas, hate-filled Muslim terrorists are intent on slaughtering the maximum number of innocent civilians.
Prior to working on counter-terrorism, Annie and David were working on counter-subversion, monitoring and infiltrating fringe groups like SWP, Communist Party of Great Britain, and the anarchist group Class War. It is easy therefore to see why the pair were made less than welcome when they attended a fringe meeting at the Anarchist Bookfair 2005. But, they did not have to attend, and it in no way justifies the smear campaign that has been running against them. Annie describes some of the dirty tricks that were run, and the question has to be asked: are the smear campaigns that are being run by allegedly dissident groups, less the lunatic fringe and more dirty tricks by front organisations, or dissident groups that have been infiltrated and hijacked, as was Class War? [Anarchist Bookfair 2005]
Highlighting the abuses of human rights, that monitoring political dissent, is not what the intelligence services should be doing, was not guaranteed to enhance one's career prospects.
David Shayler was prosecuted because he caused embarrassment, and to serve as an example to others who may be tempted to speak out. Is this what caused Dr David Kelly to take his own life (assuming he did and was not killed to silence him), an honourable man who spoke out against the lies on the illegal war with Iraq?
There is a confusion between 'damage to national security' and 'harm to the national interest'. The former is easy to interpret, the latter is open to abuse, and too often is interpreted as embarrassment to those in power, and believe it or not not, there is a security classification of 'causing embarrassment to HMG'.
We saw this in the Shayler Affair, and are seeing it again with the infamous memo where George W Bush allegedly wished to bomb the Qatar offices of Aljazeera. That part is believable, less believable is that Tony Blair acted to dissuade Bush.
We have here parallels with the Shayler Affair where a a Civil Servant and a Parliamentary Researcher are to be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act as their actions are deemed 'prejudicial to the national interest'. But whose interest is that, as surely is it not in our interest, as a democratic society, to be told that the supposed leader of the free world, was contemplating bombing a TV channel in a friendly country, but was dissuaded by his comrade-in-arms in war crimes, the odious Blair?
The suppression of free speech 'in the national interest' is reminiscent of acts carried out 'in the good of the people' so favoured by totalitarian regimes, so no surprise it finds favour with Tony Blair.
The mainstream media as usual are a disgrace. They reported as 'facts' the anonymous unattributable briefings on the Shayler Affair, but rarely checked with the principle actors the truth of what they were being told.
We have learnt recently that the Muslim terrorists involved in the Tube bombings in London on 7 July 2005, were known to the intelligence services, had travelled to terrorist training camps in Pakistan, had met known or suspected terrorists in the UK, were mixing with extremist Muslim clerics, but failed to keep tabs on them due to lack of resources.
Would this tragedy have happened if the appropriate resources had been found? Would resources have been available if they were not being squandered on monitoring political dissidents? Questions that the relatives of the dead should be asking, and demanding answers.
Since Tony Blair came to power, we have had a succession of Terrorists Acts, each more Draconian than its predecessor. What is this legislation for? Is it for dealing with real terrorists, or is it for dealing with political dissent, for clamping down on the domestic population?
Would we not be more successful in dealing with terrorists if we had more competent security agencies, rather than passed legislation whose only function is to suppress political dissent?
Anti-terror legislation was used for dealing with protests at the G8 Summit in Scotland in Summer 2005. It was invoked again Autumn 2005 to deal with an elderly gentleman who was manhandled out of the Neo-Labour Party Conference by a bunch of thugs for daring to shout out 'rubbish' at the government's policy on Iraq during a speech by Jack 'boot' Straw. An elderly gentleman who had fled Nazi persecution in Europe.
When we tie in the abuses that we see all the time, the steady erosion of our civil rights in the name of the bogus 'war on terror', with with the abuses that Annie Machon has laid bare within the intelligence services, then we have every reason to be worried.
The off-the-record briefings and smear campaign run against Dr David Kelly were near identical to that run against David Shayler.
In the US, if someone breaks cover and blows the whistle, the administration shrugs and moves on. There may even be an independent inquiry, to which the whistleblower is invited to give evidence, the whistleblower is not prosecuted. ***(that was once upon a time the US took the advice of the UK and changed the law) In the UK, the whistleblower will be smeared in off-the-record briefings, probably prosecuted to serve as an example to others. If they try to give evidence, as David Shayler did to Tony Blair's Intelligence and Security Committee, they will be ignored, or as we saw with David Kelly after his death, an inquiry will be launched which is nothing more than a cover-up and a whitewash. Having refused to hear evidence from David Shayler, members of the PM's ISC went on to brief against him.
Lord Hutton, who on behalf of Tony Blair carried out the cover-up and whitewash on Dr David Kelly, was also one of the Law Lord who sat in judgment on David Shayler.
The difference between the US and the UK is that free speech is protected. Although this has started to change post-911 with the Patriot Act. Those who have spoken out regarding the 911 cover-up have been ignored, gagged or threatened, so even in the US the climate is changing for the worse. [see 9-11 Revealed]
Tony Blair is not satisfied with merely shooting the messenger, he also wants to shoot those who carry and repeat the message. In the Shayler Affair threats were issued against anyone who either tried to help or reported on what David Shayler was saying.
A former editor of Punch now has a criminal record for writing on the Shayler Affair, a student at Kingston University lost her course place after being arrested and detained for offering to mobilise public support for David Shayler when he was on the run from the authorities in France.
We are now seeing history repeat itself with threats against the media if they cover the infamous memo containing allegations that George W Bush wished to bomb the offices of Aljazeera in Qatar, a friendly country.
Annie Machon's description of MI5 is one of incompetence and bureaucratic bungling. MI5 management that lie to Ministers and an oversight committee to cover up their incompetence and bungling. Competent officers leaving, leaving behind the failures who have nowhere else to go. Having once worked in a similar environment, my experience was very similar.
With MI6 it is more sinister. The picture painted of MI6 is that of an agency out of control. When not busy trying to kill people, MI6 is planting stories in its in-house newspaper The Daily Torygraph.
MI6 financed an Al-Qaeda plot to assassinate Colonel Gaddafi. Although the coup and assassination attempt failed, innocent civilian bystanders were nevertheless killed. But let us assume their hair-brained scheme had succeeded. If it had, Al-Qaeda would now be running Libya. Would the world have been a safer place?
One reason David and Annie went public on the MI6/Al-Qaeda plot was that they were one of the few who knew of the plot and feared the fate that later befell Dr David Kelly to silence them.
Violence begets violence. We see that all over the Middle East. We see it in Israeli-occupied Palestine, we see it in the illegally-occupied Iraq.
After the failed assassination and coup attempt, a different approach was tried with Colonel Gaddafi. Softly, softly diplomacy. As a result Colonel Gaddafi has come in from the cold, has given up any WMD programmes (assuming he ever had any), he is cooperating in the war on terrorism, and Libya is slowly, slowly moving towards democracy.
Contrast the Libyan diplomatic approach with the illegal war and occupation of Iraq.
A well written and researched book and Annie Machon should be complimented for having had the courage to write it. A pleasant and realistic change from the breathy, jolly-hockey-sticks account we have of MI5 in Open Secret by Dame Stella Rimington, former Director General MI5, an account where it is jolly good fun to bug and burgle one's way across London and steam open other people's post.
I still thought the essence of the Cold War and spies and stuff was fun. You know, going around listening to other people's telephones and opening their mail and stuff.
We expect the establishment not to forgive Annie and David, and that has been their experience. If they keep their heads down, they are left alone. If they speak out, then they receive undue attention.
What they fear is ending up like Dr David Kelly, the man who exposed the lies behind the illegal war with Iraq. A man who was found dead in a wood with his wrists slashed. And for that reason they are careful to protect some of their sources, as they do not wish to see them end the same way.
In this they are not alone. Gerald James was the boss of Astra, once a firework company and the company that provided the propellant for the Iraqi super-gun. When Gerald James spoke out, he found his life was under threat. [see Gerald James, In the Public Interest, Warner Books, 1996]
All this is understandable. What is less understandable and deeply regrettable, are the attacks on the integrity of these two coming from within the dissident community. The only possible explanation, apart from the usual lunatic fringe, is that those making the attacks are agents of the state doing their best to destroy the credibility of those who have dared speak out at their former employers.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see a little light shed into the deeper recesses of of our intelligence agencies and wants to better understand how our civil rights are being eroded.
Annie Machon has written a devastating critique of our intelligence agencies and the need for reform. Grounds if nothing else for a public inquiry into their operation.
We need an intelligence agency that is there to protect democracy, that is accountable, not one which is there to enslave us.

Green revealed modern human rights organisations about what is happening in Tripoli and Rishvana
All of Libya is waiting for the Honourable tribes to pick up pace and clean all the mess that NATO, F.UK.US and ISRAEL left behind. All of us civilians are ready when they will ask us to assist them, I will be first in line.
We will never forget or forgive all nations who got involved in destroying Libya for the mere reason to get to our resources and have us Libyans kicked out of our own country. We will fight with everything we have to free our country or die trying from the vultures who think that they can destroy us. They have tried for the last 8000 years and they did not succeed they will not succeed now. One thing is for sure that all Libyans who love our country will do everything in its power to succeed to clean the WESTERNERS MEDDLING AND DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY.

Difficulty Level Easy
I'm glad I bought two bunches of asparagus last week at the farmer's market, because this week there was none to be had. I went a bit overboard during the week making asparagus pretty much every night for dinner. It was tender and delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm hoping that by next week there will be plenty of the vegetable on offer. I was casting about for interesting recipes to make in order to keep complaints about the recurrence of asparagus on the menu to a minimum and I came up with this ravioli that was a big hit.
The recipe actually calls for homemade ravioli, but I don't have a pasta maker and it seemed like too much work for a mid-week dinner to roll it out by hand. I used won ton wrappers which makes it really easy and is a huge time saver. The recipe also suggests that you cook the ravioli in water and then pour the stock over it to serve, but I just cook my ravioli in the broth and save a step and an extra pot to wash. I never throw my Parmesan cheese rinds away, I just put them in a bag in the freezer and then drop one in the stock pot when I need it. It really adds a depth of flavour to your soup. Just remember to fish it out before you serve your soup. I used the mascarpone cheese, but it was extremely expensive and I think ricotta would be an acceptable substitute.
|1 pound
|asparagus, trimmed
|5 cups
|rich chicken stock or vegetable stock
|rind from a wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano (3-inch)
|Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
|1/4 cup
|grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
|1/4 cup
|1/4 cup
|fine dry bread crumbs
|1 teaspoon
|grated lemon zest
- Cut off asparagus tips, then halve each tip lengthwise and reserve.
- Bring stock, cheese rind, and bay leaf to a simmer in a medium saucepan, then add asparagus stems and cook, uncovered, until stems are just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer stems to plate and cool slightly. Reserve broth.
- Purée asparagus stems in a food processor with grated parmesan, mascarpone, bread crumbs, zest, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- Place two won ton wrappers on work surface. Place a generous teaspoon of filling into the centre of one of the wrappers. Wet the tip of your finger and run it around the edge of the wrapper and then place the second wrapper on top. Gently press down and seal the edges, taking care to push out any air. If you leave air pockets in the ravioli they will open during cooking.
- Bring broth to a simmer and add just enough ravioli that they are not touching and cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Lift cooked ravioli with a slotted spoon, draining well over pot, then transfer to bowls. Repeat with remaining ravioli and then add asparagus tips and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Season broth with salt, then divide broth and asparagus tips among soup bowls with the ravioli, discarding cheese rind and bay leaf.
- Filling and broth, without asparagus tips, can be made 1 day ahead. Chill separately, uncovered, until cool, then covered.
