What does Islam have to say about spreading rumours and gossips about others?
O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deeds some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful. (49: 12)
"O you who believe! If a Faasiq (liar — evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done"
[al-Hujuraat 49:6]
The Lawgiver issued a stern warning against passing on all that one hears. It was narrated that Hafs ibn 'Aasim said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "It is enough lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears." Narrated by Muslim in al-Muqaddimah, 6; Saheeh al-Jaami, 4482.
It was narrated that al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'bah said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah has forbidden you to disobey your mothers, to bury your daughters alive, to not pay the rights of others and to beg from others. And He dislikes gossip for you, asking too many questions, and wasting money." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2231.

They want the taliban to win and prosper, knowing that they or their loves ones will not be there to face the consequences. And so, they are inclined to belive all conspiracy theories in order to justify supporting the taliban, something which is becoming difficult by the day. And of course, the same shameless people will spread these rumours far and wide

Debunking Malala conspiracy theories - A fascinating read.If you have come here after seeing and believing in all those conspiracies on Malala attck, please scroll right at the end of this page. I do understand you will only understand images and text messages, so spare yourself of the trouble of reading something and look at images exclusively created for you. If you like them, share them. If you feel you were fooled but still find it difficult to publicly say you believed in crap, please feel free to chew a Mercury thermometer, if there is one handy easiest way to die in shame!

Samia Raheel Qazi: Malala is a CIA agent
The campaign to malign Malala was lead by the usual suspects Jamaat-e-Islami and their supporters. Samia Raheel Qazi, daughter ex-Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Qazi Hussain Ahmed was probably the first one to float this conspiracy theory calling Malala a CIA agent. She tweeted an image tagging media personnels.
The reality is that this was a UNICEF organised meeting in July 2009 attended not just by Malala Yousafzai and her father but also grassroot activists working in the Swat region. The lady in the picture is not Malalas mother but a women education activist (NGO worker) Dishad Begum. They were all invited to meet Richard Hollbrooke following the Swat operation when military had gained control of the area. The meeting was to discuss the education infrastructure and what follow up activities were required to resume schools in the area were needed. conspiracy theorists are welcomed to feel ashamed once they listen to what Malala said to Richard Hollbrooke if you can help us with Education, then please do.
Here is a video of this UNICEF organised meeting, or watch more detailed video here:
if youtube is banned then go here
If seen sitting in a meeting makes you a CIA Agent, does it make Imran Khan a CIA agent too? Qazi Hussain Ahmed of Jamaat-e-Islami is on record having said that he feels at home when he visits America, does it make him a CIA Agent too. Qazis daugher Samia Raheel Qazi leading the propaganda campaign against Malala was educated abroad, is she also an Agent? Why Samia Raheel Qazi getting education abroad is okay but Malala asking for help in education, not for herself but the girls of Swat, wrong?
Comparing Malala and Aafia Siddiqi
The next propaganda tactic of the religious right was to cash in on the sentiment of the public associated with Islam and Aafia Siddiqi. Using religion and Anti-Americanism always works in Pakistan considering peoples sentiments and that is what the conspiracy theorists cashed in. Anti-Malala campaign was launched using the argument that she had said that her political ideals are Benazir Bhutto, President Obama and Bacha Khan. She was asked this question during a TV Talk Show with Hamid Mir and the question was in political context and hence her answer. The religious right claimed that for a girl whose ideals do not include the Prophet Muhammad does not deserve this sympathy. Further, the compared her with Aafia Siddiqi claiming her ideals were Islam and Quran and she is the real daughter of the nation.
Let me remind the readers that Al Qaeda Deputy Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri himself came to the aid of Aafia Siddiqi. On 4 November 2010, Al-Qaeedas media wing released a new audio message where Zawahiri asks, Who Will Take Revenge for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui?. Can someone tell me how many more innocent Pakistani women, or Muslim women for that matter, had the privilege of getting such support from Al-Qaedas top leadership? Why is it that from millions of Muslim women persecuted, countless Baluch women abducted, all Zawahiri cared about was Aafia Siddiqi? What prompts such sympathy from worlds most lethal terrorist for an innocent Aafia Siddiqi which is missing for many more innocent Muslim women?
If it is unacceptable to sympathise with Malala just because she idealise President Obama politically, why do we conveniently ignore that Aafia Siddiqi, unlike Malala, holds a US citizenship and was educated at the American university MIT on American scholarship funds? Why is the Anti-American sentiment applicable on Malala and not on Aafia Siddiqi? If association with anything American is a scale of how good you are, guess Aafia Siddiqi is the one who is much more American that little child Malala. She holds a Pakistani nationality, never wet to the US, was educated in Pakistani schools and almost gave her life defending the right to education of Pakistani girls. What did Aafia did for women of Pakistan?
I would also like to know which verses in the Quran, which Aafia Siddiqi idealises, promoted her to purchase items on internet including about $10,000 worth of night-vision goggles, body armour and 45 military-style books including The Anarchists Arsena; and why did she need these. I would also like to understand which sayings of the Prophet prompted Aafia Siddiqi to open up a post box in the name of Majid Khan, an alleged al-Qaida operative accused of plotting to blow up petrol stations in the Baltimore area. By saying that Aafia Siddiqi idealised Prophet Muhammad and Quran and knowing what she has been upto, are we trying to say that Quran and Prophet Muhammad prompted her to become an extremist?
I would also appreciate if someone tells me how did an innocent Aafia Siddiqi managed to marry Ammar al-Baluchi (as second husband), a nephew of the 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, at a small ceremony near Karachi. Further, the conspiracy theorists who readily believe in photoshopped images are finding it too difficult to believe in evidence given by Aafia Siddiqis ex-husband Amjad Khan of her suspicious behaviour and involvement in Jihadi activities. According to him, his new wife was a more fiery character than he wished. She was so pumped up about jihad, he said. He adds that Aafia wanted the couple to move to Bosnia just 6 months after the marriage why Bosnia of all places, may I ask? he further tells that in the winter post 9/11, she pressed him to go on jihad to Afghanistan, where she had arranged for them to work in a hospital in Zabul province. Khan refused, sparking a vicious row. She went hysterical, beating her hands on my chest, asking for divorce, he recalled. He also claims that she never went to Bagram and he saw her with his own eyes in Islamabad and Karachi but never went public for protection of his children.
Aafia Siddiqis uncle Shams-ul-Hassan Farooqi has similar tales to tell. He tells that she begged him to smuggle her into Afghanistan into the hands of the Taliban. That was her main point, he recalled. She said: I will be safe with the Taliban.
Remember the first verse ever revealed to Prophet Muhammad: Iqra (read). Remember the Prophet said education is mandatory for both men and women. When Aafia Siddiqi was busy buying equipment for a possible terrorist attack and marrying Al-Qaeda terrorist, it was 14 year old Malala fighting a battle against barbarians carrying the torch of Education forward. So, who was actually idealising the Prophet and Quran?
Please have a little shame before you compare an innocent child with an extremists even if you think she was not treated in the right way, there is considerable evidence that she was an extremist.
Malalas diary and wrong translation for propaganda, cashing in on religious sentiment
Malala episode is a staged drama, she was never shot
The next conspiracy completely denies that the event took place conveniently ignoring the fact that it was not just Malala but two of her friends named Shazia and Kainat who got injured too and several people of Swat are eyewitness. It has become a fashion in the country of conspiracy theorists even to ignore the responsibility claimed by the terrorists. They completely ignored the fact that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan had claimed the responsibility of the attack and had warned that they will attack her again if she survives. They further added that they will also attack other people who support secular causes. To add to that, they later issued a press statement using verses from the Quran proving that their attack on Malala was legitimate inline with the Sharia.
It did not end here, in the wave of temporary sympathy, Pakistani media sided with Malala but Taliban were not happy with this. They warned the media that they will attack them but this did not convince the conspiracy theorists that this event has actually happened.
All I can say is take you head out of the sand there has to be an end to this Ostrich Syndrome as you are only making a fool of yourself.
Where was Malala hit? left or right?
Next, they came up with the theory that the Pakistan Army, The US, the hospital management in Pakistan and UK and the media all are party to staging this drama and this incident never happened. They picked up some images of the injured child claiming some of them show the wound on the right while some on the left of her head. A little knowledge of image processing and tools like Photoshop would have been handy to avoid this cheap conspiracy theories. Let me show you how can you invert images from Left to Right or Right to Left on click of a button:
How did Malalas clothes changed all of sudden?
31st October 2012, 07:19 #350In another bizzare attempt, they claim that Malala's clothes are different in the two pictures above. Lack of knowledge comes to aid again – ignorance is bliss, as they say. She is wearing a hospital gown in blue which is a regular practice in all hospitals worldwide.
The hospital gown is made of fabric that can withstand repeated laundering in hot water, usually cotton, and is fastened at the back with twill tape ties.Healthcare workers, especially in hospitals, find thin hospital gowns convenient for listening to the heart and lungs. For nurses, giving injections in the buttocks, abdomen, or thighs is easier when the patient is wearing a gown rather than street clothing.Hospital gowns are much thinner and looser than regular clothing, so patients are less likely to overheat.
Using fake images of drone attack victims
The religious right has excelled at using fake images to gather public support. Only few months back they used countless fake images to cash in on sympathy regarding the Burma Muslims. Here is a list of such fake images. Using the same skillset and cheap tactics, this time they used fake images calling them victims of drone attacks and the argument that why so much noise for Malala and not the drone attack victims. One example follows:
Yes, her name is Laiba but she was not a drone victim, instead shot by Pakistan Army/FC in Peshawar. Read more here and DAWN report regarding this girl here. None is stopping you to protest for the drone attack victims but (i) why do you have to resort to cheap tactics, misinformation and lies and (ii) what do you have to remain silent on Malala to do that?
Further, while victims of drones are collateral damage and regrettable (not targetted), Malala is a targeted attack – she was attacked because she took on the Taliban, she took a stand for the education of girls in a war torn region. The civilian drone attack victims are not attacked as a target, they are not victimised for their identity or for who they are or what they do.
Let me also ask the reverse question: What if Malala was hit by a drone instead? Well, Jamaat-e-Islami would have called her qoum ki beti, there would have been no conspiracy theories, religious right would have owned her as their own and there would have been tyres burning and angry faces on every street in Pakistan. There would have been no Amreeki connection invented.
Malala's links to Adam Ellick, a journalist with alleged CIA links
Another theory goes on to claim that the journalist Adam Ellick who met Malala and interviewed here was a undercover CIA agent and used to hide his identity not to be identified as an outsider.
Adam's interview with Malala is available here and a related Al-Jazeera report with video can be watched here.
There is nothing fishy about it – it is a regular practice in journalism, the idea behind which is security and a respect for local culture, or sometimes just a personal interest of the journalist to explore and experience the local culture when they are at another place for their professional duties.
Where was Malala shot?
The above pictures are from hospital in Pakistan. According to the report provided by the doctors at the Birmingham hospital where she is being treated, the teenager was struck just above the back of her left eye, with the bullet travelling down the side of her jaw and damaging the skull. It went through her neck and lodged in the tissue above her shoulder blade on the left.
The wound us clearly visible in first pictures and partly in latest images looking blackish where it has been covered by the dupatta. The hospital staff in UK was more concerned about the cultural sensitiveness covering the Muslim girl with scarf and appropriate clothing and didn't realise that in a country of conspiracy theorists, they have to publicly show the wounds of a innocent girl to prove she has been victimised. Further, this is how professional and responsible health care works – putting the patient and their privacy first, not satisfaction of the conspiracy theorists. Also, there are rules governing the media in the UK and unlike developing countries like Pakistan, you can not blatantly show even body parts following a suicide bombing incident.

Pakistan's political right has resorted to lies, deceits, usual selective morality and hypocrisy on Malala Yousafzai's issue. Before we get to the detailed analysis of their stance on the issue, below is a summarised comparison between their stance on this issue. Click on the image to enlarge

Taliban statements after the attack on Malala
[Source: ET, ET, DAWN, DAWN, DAWN, PI]
Below is a comprehensive summary of statements by Taliban following the attack on Malala:
Malala Yousufzai deserved to die because she had spoken out against us (Taliban)
Malala deserves to die because she praised US President Barack Obama.
Malala is a spy of the West. For this espionage, infidels gave her awards and rewards. And Islam orders killing of those who are spying for enemies.
She used to propagate against mujahideen to defame (the) Taliban. The (holy) Quran says that people propagating against Islam and Islamic forces would be killed.
We targeted her because she would speak against the Taliban while sitting with shameless strangers and idealised the biggest enemy of Islam, Barack Obama.
Shariah says that even a child can be killed if (s)he is propagating against Islam.
We will kill Malala's father and others who side with them.
We (Taliban) will target journalists and media houses perceived to be working against our agenda and us.
We have a clear-cut stance. Anyone who takes side with the government against us will have to die at our hands," Ahmad warned. "You will see. Other important people will soon become victims."
If anyone argues that she was female, and then we can see the incident of killing of wife by a blind companion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) because she used to say demeaning words for the Prophet and the Prophet praised that act.
If anyone argues about her young age, then the story of Hazrat Khizar in the Quran (states that) while travelling with Prophet Musa (AS), (he) killed a child. Arguing about the reason of his killing, he said that the parents of this child were pious and in the future he (the child) would cause a bad name for them.
We are against co-education and secular education system, and Shariah orders us to be against it.
Malala Yousafzai was playing a vital role in bucking up the emotions of Murtad (apostate) and the army and Government of Pakistan, and was inviting Muslims to hate Mujahideen…Malala is targeted because of her pioneer role in preaching secularism and so-called enlightened moderation. And who so ever will commit so in future too will be targeted again by TTP.
Killing children and females engaged in rebellion against Islamic law was not just a right but "obligatory in Islam.

I don't know about the Taliban conspiracy theories (frankly I find it difficult to believe they are capable of anything so sophisticated), the only one I've come across are the American Everyman site written by Scott Creighton who seems to be an anti-capitalist.
If you really believe he is posting malicious conspiracy theories then why not post a refutation there as it will be seen by more people?

I have not followed the whole story in depth. Just a thought, if malala was shot in the head,she would be in a vegetative state now. Bullet must have grazed her head.

Muslims should speak the truth, not have an agenda and Pakistani Muslims should do and speak in the interests of Pakistan. The terrorist leaders of the TTP are hiding in Afghanistan. They are agents of the CIA who are the intelligence of the US. The US is following a Zionist agenda which includes the destablistaion of Pakistan. Comprende?

Let me simplify for your sake.
The TTP leadership is backed by the CIA. They are given safe havens in Pakistan. The US foreign policy is a Zionist policy which aims to destabalise Pakistan.
You disagree with the above then please tell me why. Ignore those voices, they're your imagination not my words.

Anyways a few questions I must ask you in all seriousness.
1) Why would Jewish nationalists care about Pakistan?
2) How would destabilising Pakistan benefit either Israel or the USA? Presumably a destabilised Pakistan would be in danger of going rogue and possibly launching missiles towards Israel. Also if there is mass anarchy in Pakistan, then it makes it more likely that more terrorist and terrorist plots to attack the West would emerge. Plus destablising Pakistan would in turn put India at risk as well.
3)Even if the USA is supporting the TTP, their ideology is what is truly a threat to Pakistan, as proved by the Malala shooting. Any thoughts on this shooting and how this clearly illustrates that TTP are fighting to impose their own version of Islam in Pakistan?
1st November 2012, 02:06 #373
Who mentioned Jewish nationaism? lol Most Zionists are not Jews and not all Jews are Zionists. Zionism isn't actually Jewish nationalism as many Christian Zionists support Israel on the belief the future will prove to the Jews Jesus is the Messiah and a Christian.
2) How would destabilising Pakistan benefit either Israel or the USA? Presumably a destabilised Pakistan would be in danger of going rogue and possibly launching missiles towards Israel. Also if there is mass anarchy in Pakistan, then it makes it more likely that more terrorist and terrorist plots to attack the West would emerge. Plus destablising Pakistan would in turn put India at risk as well.
3)Even if the USA is supporting the TTP, their ideology is what is truly a threat to Pakistan, as proved by the Malala shooting. Any thoughts on this shooting and how this clearly illustrates that TTP are fighting to impose their own version of Islam in Pakistan?
I'll only give you one question.
1. Why are the TTP leaders given safe haven in Afghanistan?

I have decided not to indulge in this pointless debate ,reply and counter reply.....So i just express my views most times and then leave silently .....It reminds me of a joke that once a reluctant speaker arriving at the stage asked his audience "Do you know what i am going to talk about here..??".....The audience's reply was understandably a "NO".....At this the speaker left the stage complaining that he could not address these knowledge deficient people who were not even aware of what he was about to talk........
But after getting some convincing from management and on listeners request he again arrived at the stage ...Inquired his audience "Do you have any idea that what i am going to talk now...??".....This time that much excited audience knowing the previous treatment shouted "Yes"!"Yes"!!!....The speaker did proceed but only for this line.."Now when you already know everything so i do not need to explain anything here......."
Leave this religious or conspiracy theories....We can not even change any one's views on a particular player,captain or a person ....

Nobel Peace prize for Malala - petition
As of today, more than 61,000 people all over the world have already signed thiis petition, including some prominent people from Canada, US, Pakistan, India, Brazil, France, UK, Denmark, Australia, etc.
Please sign so she has a better chance to win the prize in 2013. That will be wonderful for her, for Pakistan and for peace, it will project a good picture of Islam and it will be bad for the taliban.

Key suspect's sister apologises for attack [/B]
The sister of Ataullah Khan, the key suspect in the shooting of 15-year-old child activist Malala Yousufzai, apologised to her for the incident, reported CNN on Tuesday.
In an interview with CNN, Khan's sister, Rehana Haleem said:
"Please convey a message to Malala, that I apologise for what my brother did to her."
Haleem did not emphasise that Khan had actually carried out the attack, however, she said that the incident "has brought shame on our family. We have lost everything after what he did."
The suspect's sister said that what Khan did was "intolerable" and that "Malala is just like my sister."
She said:
"I'd like to express my concern for Malala on behalf of my whole family; I hope she recovers soon and returns to a happy and normal life as soon as possible. I hope Malala doesn't consider me or my family as enemies. I don't consider Atta Ullah my brother anymore."
Haleem defined how it was like when security officials raided her house, in order to trace down Khan. She said that the officials searched the entire house and seized their documents and pictures.
She further said that she was moved to a house nearby equipped with bars on the doors and windows along with her husband.
"I was pregnant and sick," said Haleem. "Then, finally, after a day or two, they released me and my husband
and told me they were letting me go only because I was sick."
While saying that she had little doubt about her brother's involvement in the shooting, she said that if he was innocent, he would have come back and claimed so. "He would have come to the aid of his mother and our family, his behavior is that of a guilty man. How could he abandon us?"
The police had identified Khan, a 23-year-old man from the Swat district, as the primary suspect.

From Wikipedia, When she was 11, she wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban rule, their attempts to take control of the valley, and her views on promoting education for girls.
The following summer, a New York Times documentary was filmed about her life as the Pakistani military intervened in the region, culminating in the Second Battle of Swat. Yousafzai began to rise in prominence, giving interviews in print and on television and taking a position as chairperson of the District Child Assembly Swat. She has since been nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize by Desmond Tutu and has won Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize.
Former British Prime Minister and current UN Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown launched a United Nations petition in Yousafzai's name, using the slogan "I am Malala" and demanding that all children worldwide be in school by the end of 2015.

Now that's a woman of principle.

Only those who believe in the Nobel peace prize - and the processes whereby candidates are chosen - would see any merit whatsoever in this.
On the one hand Muslims condemn the West, and on the other they hanker after the latters' commendation and recognition. Typical.

If EU and Obama can be awarded for peace then for me this award is pretty useless
7th November 2012, 02:47 #390
Our esteemed PakPassion member Saudi did say that there was merit in having Malala as a poster child. So I guess by that logic, why not?
7th November 2012, 02:55 #391
Well..this is taking it too far....Why is Malala more a victim than others ...she did not do anything extra ordinary than other victims .....if anything give money to 100 girls for education on her name!!

Malala's flight to England - India's shame
Why did Malala have to fly to another continent? So many Indians took on Malala's cause online, yet she had to fly to England to receive the medical treatment required.
What happened to the Malala avatars amongst some members here?? Gone out of fashion?

Antonio Piacquadio
Who isANTONIO PIACQUADIO? He's been called many names: an artist. A party mastermind.A workaholic. One thing is for certain: ANTONIO PIACQUADIO is a visionary. Thehistory of this native New Yorker is deeply rooted in his passion for andsuccess in pleasing large gatherings of people, and as a DJ/producer,PIACQUADIO has come to be known as much for his filthy, tech-house DJ sets ashis generous hospitality.
PIACQUADIO was born and raised in New York, where he's lived his whole life.The eldest of two sons, PIACQUADIO was raised by an airline mechanic father anda hairdresser mother from Colle Sannita, a tiny, old-world village in theprovince of Benevento Campania, Italy. As a youth growing-up in and around thegritty streets of New York, the young PIACQUADIO was a precocious child andheadstrong, refusing to follow the herd. His earliest memories were shaded bymusic – in particular, the early hip-hop and freestyle of New York, as well asmusic from the late Michael Jackson – and he always knew that music would playan integral part in his life.
At age 14, PIACQUADIO played his first gig as a professional DJ (after buyinghis first DJ mixer earlier that year), at Act III in the Bronx, which was oneof the hottest clubs of that era. PIACQUADIO, influenced by none other than thelegendary Todd Terry, brought the owner a two-hour house music mixtape, but hereturned that same day with a two-hour "freestyle" mixtape after the owner toldhim that he did not like house music. He was so impressed that he hiredPIACQUADIO on the spot. The rest is history! Soon it became evident that acareer as an entertainer lay ahead for the aspiring DJ, and under the tutelageand guidance of industry stalwart, Joseph Lodi, PIACQUADIO learned the ropes.
In the arduous, drama-filled and often times, risky, two-decades that ensuedsince that first gig, PIACQUADIO cut his teeth working as a resident DJ and/orpromotions director/manager for New York's most storied clubs. The venuesincluded: Sound Factory, the Palladium, Tunnel, Limelight, Roxy, Exit andMirage, amongst others. In much later years, PIACQUADIO would also touch thedecks several times at NYC's Pacha and Mansion superclubs. PIACQUADIO's love ofpleasing packed dancefloors translated intuitively into his fruitful trackrecord as a DJ/promoter, and some of the most memorial parties atindoor/outdoor venues include boat cruises around Manhattan, and even a 36-hour,nonstop DJ stint at a small club during a snow storm in New York thatknocked-out power lines and paralyzed roads for days. The latter party,promoted at the last-minute, became jam-packed and was attended by 700enthusiastic music lovers. Magic was in the air that night, fueled by greathouse music, and PIACQUADIO could not tear himself away from the DJ booth. Thelargest gig he has played to date took place in Calabria, Italy, in 2008; theevent was titled, "The Different Circus Party" and was located on a beachfrontsite with more than 10,000 techno-lovers going bananas.
After years of deejaying, PIACQUADIO was finally able to afford his own, fullstudio setup in 1992. His initial production rig consisted of: an AkaiMPC-3000, a Korg 909, an eight-channel Yamaha mixing board, and an assortmentof effects processors.
Completely self-taught in the studio, PIACQUADIO learned the basics ofproduction and engineering by doing everything himself. To this day, heprograms all of his own drums, plays all of the keyboards, and writes all ofhis own music for his productions. PIACQUADIO has been producing filthy housemusic and techno for as long as he can remember. For two decades, he has beenhoning his craft. Always the perfectionist, PIACQUADIO has released music underdifferent aliases in the past, but now he feels the time has come to releasemusic under his real name.
The DJs who inspired PIACQUADIO were the greats, including: Danny Tenaglia,Todd Terry, and Richie Hawtin. However, the DJ who has perhaps had the greatestcontinuing influence on PIACQUADIO is Carl Cox, the tireless jock beloved forgiving every last ounce of his physical, mental and emotional energy during aperformance.
From 1996 to 2010, PIACQUADIO was not only tearing up the decks at NYC's bestparties and venues, he was also getting booked for nationwide parties includingseveral sets at WMC (Winter Music Conference) in Miami over the years. He alsowas booked for several international gigs. He has been flown to clubs andfestivals in Mexico (at La Boom and the BPM Music Festival); Amsterdam; thePhilippines; Italy; and the clubbing capitol of the world, Ibiza (at Amnesia).It was only a matter of time until the owner of the legendary club, Sankeys inManchester, UK, came calling. In 2010, Sankeys Manchester was voted by morethan 80,000 readers of DJ Magazine's "Top 100 Clubs" poll as the #1 "best club"in the world on the heels of two decades as a venue where the music, DJs andpatrons are of the utmost importance. When it came time for Sankeys Manchesterowner, David Vincent, to expand his empire to other key cities around theworld, PIACQUADIO was the first and only phone call for the New York outpost.After a brief visit to NYC and observing PIACQUADIO complete a track in thestudio in under three hours, Vincent offered PIACQUADIO a residency at Sankeys.Just like the club owners in NYC, Vincent recognized the talent in PIACQUADIOand has set out to further develop him as a Sankeys resident and artist. Thehugely anticipated Sankeys NYC nightclub is slated to open in 2011 and it's asthough the media and nightlife blogosphere have been lit on fire.
PIACQUADIO never rests. With a trans-Atlantic DJ residency at SankeysManchester, plus a three-disc studio album coming up, not to mention theall-encompassing task that is opening and operating the new Sankeys NYClocation, rest is not an option. This world-class workaholic has much to offerthe techno and tech-house enthusiast, and as always, PIACQUADIO gives himself100% to the music!

Daniel Kasman
I must admit I saw more, much more, in something small due to the titanic vision of something almost too large. Cinema is so full of images it seems like history only remembers that which looms, towering; but perhaps the mysteries of the lesser things are those created by—if not existing on—those towers' shadows.
Contributed to: MUBI, Senses of Cinema, The Chiseler, La Furia Umana, LUMIÈRE, and Cinema Scope
Daniel Kasman (Born 1982) has been the editor at the MUBI Notebook through many changes to the site over many years and, along with Adam Cook, has kept the place a most vital destination for anyone looking for incisive and unique film criticism. He's been breaking down borders and questioning assumptions [look no further than his involvement in posthumously granting Tony Scott the respect he was denied in his lifetime] with grace and deftness since he first started writing criticism. He's a formally adventurous writer and curator, giving time to short form, image-based, long-form, epistolary and conversational criticism. In a given week he could post spare, minimalist entries in the Notebook, or long, winding diary entries about how his experiences of getting to and experiencing a festival can reflect the films on offer. I've mentioned before that his conversations with Fernando F. Croce are some of the most entertaining reads in any given year. Should one ever need a reminder that criticism is as beautiful diverse and nebulous an art form as the one it comments upon, Kasman is always up to the task of providing one.
Take a look at this entry, a report from a trip to the 2014 Viennale:
It is a joy, of course, to see such grandiose films by Ford as How Green Was My Valley (1940) and The Searchers (1956) on vibrant 35mm prints. (The weak but comparatively experimental shaggy-dog cavalry film She Wore a Yellow Ribbon [1949] positively radiated warmth from its immaculate color quality, restored by the UCLA Film & Televsion Archive.) But better still is that pleasure particular to large retrospectives full of accepted masterpieces to encounter the smaller, more inconsequential films made in-between. Such is certainly the case for 1925's Kentucky Pride, a tale narrated by a once-favorited racing horse (!) and not so much a drama as a quintessentially Fordian combination of sentiment and silliness. Likewise 1933's Will Rogers vehicle, Doctor Bull, one of my favorites and a film, like Vincente Minnelli's The Reluctant Debutante (to pull another favorite), that's an example of a master filmmaker and an A-list actor collaborating on what feels merely a programmer between more ambitious and/or lucrative projects. Such movies have a humility to them that is utterly freeing.
"Freeing" is the keyword there because on top of being what he searches for from film culture, it's also the perfect way to sum up his approach to writing. Look, for instance at the range of entry points he provides, without slavishly sticking to one. They're not only entry points into the movies, but ways that the experience itself can impact him and the film. He's a gripping extra-textual documentarian. In this paragraph he comments first on the way the 35mm prints of the classics improves them, even a "comparatively" minor film like She Wore A Yellow Ribbon [the juxtaposition of "major" and "minor" is a pet theme], then on the way the way the program he attended presses films together in unconventional ways, allowing them to converse with each other. Then he moves onto the way reputations collide to create hybrid art, taking time to impart personal preference and speak openly about his place in the program as an audience member. Letting himself into the pieces and the films does not sap his razor-sharp focus one iota. He's one of the most refreshingly clear-eyed around. His attitude is never that a film doesn't meet his standard, but rather that it doesn't meet the standard he knows cinema capable of. And on top of all that, his prose can be delightfully labyrinthine when he finds himself on a roll, a thing to behold. Kasman's understanding of the essence of a filmmaker makes his shorthand intensely satisfying. Look at the asides in this sentence from a review of Steven Soderbergh's Che:
If The Argentine recalls Preminger and Exodus, the second part of Che, called Guerilla and detailing the man's failed attempt to move the revolution to Bolivia, recalls Merrill's Marauders (1962), though certainly not Samuel Fuller's brute forcefulness as a filmmaker. A more accomplished film, though to a degree less interesting because less baffling than the indeterminate angle of attack that The Argentine takes, the second half of Soderbergh's film grasps more firmly the physical sense of guerilla life.
His rhythm here, not to mention the "forcefulness," to use his own phrase, tonally communicate his feeling for the film as well as his individual points. His writing here and elsewhere at times recalls the style of Ghostface Killah, taking gamble after gamble on sentence structure and focus that most writers wouldn't dream of attempting, and getting it right every time. Indeed it's not hard to imagine his last sentence in one of Ghostface's verse's on the Wu-Tang Clan song "Gravel Pit." Kasman's created a safe space for exploration of every facet of film and criticism at the Notebook and his own writing has always led the charge toward ever more freedom of expression and form.
On The Hole:
One thing I've found consistent in the handful of film festival experiences I've had is that by a certain point you've seen so much sloppiness that when a crafty movie comes along, one made with skilled deliberation and mature filmmaking, there is a danger of overrating its supreme comparative steadiness and experience. At Toronto this year, Joe Dante's The Hole is the embodiment of that phenomenon. Its first act alone is made with such inspired knowhow of how to stage a dramatic scene, how to express and use space, and how to define in human terms genre-based characters—in short, are directed with such expressive expertise—that the relief at being in the hands of someone of obvious experienced talent was palpable, regardless of whether the film would stand as highly on its own.
The Hole suffers from a similar problem as Claire Denis's White Material in being fundamentally rooted in its screenplay, an heavy-weighted anchor to the imagination. Still, Dante is one of our foremost spirits of imagination, and let's count our lucky stars that he's still getting money to make feature films (his last was 2003's Loony Tunes: Back in Action); unfortunately with The Hole he is hampered by the overbearing literalness of the Mark L. Smith's script. When a single mother (Teri Polo) and her two sons (Chris Massoglia and Nathan Gamble) arrive in a new town and the boys, along with their next door neighbor (Haley Bennett), discover a hole under their house that opens to an endless void, the potential for horror is beautifully evoked and modulated. Dante keeps the scale of the idea in check and focuses on the various ways the kids explore their new found fantastical feature, how at first it treads the line between creating wonder and horror, and the regular, highly suburbanized ways the boys start and stop their investigations, hide their discovery from their mom, and otherwise integrate supreme weirdness into their every-days lives. But once the titular void starts literalizing each child's fears so that they may over come them, there's little Dante's directorial imagination can do to enliven a plodding series of supposedly fearful confrontations.
On Redbelt:
With a Mamet film, we can be propelled forward on the confident completeness with which the writer/director thinks he has crafted his characters. Whether or not they are whole, or even meaningful, they nevertheless exist and move like defined masses, whose only purpose is to exhibit their own definition, secureness, and resiliency by coming into volatile contact with other such masses. Lean little planets in orbit, they are dying for a galactic collision that will never come in a cinema so pre-determined. But at least in the best of Mamet there is a sense of melancholy recognition, the awareness that since everything has been set up from the beginning—in both senses, Mamet being a dialog writer above all else, and that so many of his films feature elaborate confidence games—a character should accept the sad fate of never exploding gloriously, never being truly tested for this philosophical wholeness Mamet's killer dialog encases everyone in. The over-determination eliminates the spectacular but it does provide a fast ride of confidence, stories and characters skating forward with believable momentum and weight on rails to the end of their films.
On Kinatay:
Dedicate a movie to one thing, respect the singular attention of the camera, and a film should be rich enough to overcome just about anything. Brillante Mendoza gives almost half of his film Kinatay to the nocturnal drive of a group of policemen out of Manila to its suburbs, and another half hour of night awaits them at their destination, a police black site. This rich vision of so much gloom, dim suspension, no action, no spectacle, no drama is a beautiful thing, something out of an avant-garde film dedicated to textures, subtle shifts in color, and spatial uncertainty of a sunless world. There is a story of course, of a young police trainee just married (that very day!) taken along on an off -he-books mission to torture a drug addicted stripper, and for a long time Mendoza plays the story like Haneke's Funny Games (or a Park film), building up the audience's desire for his hero to act violently, here to lash out at his sadistic superiors. And some of Kinatay is that tasteless, with its handholding music (riffing off of Kubrick's synth scores for A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket) and artless, didactic cutaways That Explain Motivation by showing the cops' horrific acts, the home that must be thought of. But, as with Mendoza's previous film Serbis, the rest of the movie is given as a handheld dedication to space—there, a porno theater, here, a sinister, anonymous police van traveling great distances at night for the purpose of terrible things, and later a torture house. But it is a space of obscurity, of uncertainty in a morally certain situation, and so the space, covered and run over again and again by the roving camera, takes on an abstraction nearly outside the story itself. A palette of sleek grays makes a death grip on this film that started—again, didactically—in daylight with a marriage, and Kinatay's immersion into nightfall stands strong, splendidly, as independent force.

David Letterman hosted his final "Late Show" Wednesday night.
After entering the stage to a standing ovation, Letterman urged people to "please be seated" so he could deliver his last monologue.
He opened by joking: "I'll be honest with you -- it's beginning to look like I'm not gonna get 'The Tonight Show.'"
Letterman then said it has been annoying to constantly be asked what he's going to do now that he's retired.
"Want to know what I'm going to do? By god, I hope to become the new face of Scientology," Letterman quipped.
"Don't kid yourselves, emotions are running high in this building," he continued. "Here's a video of the goodbye statement to staff that took place earlier today,"he said before showing a clip of himself blowing a kiss to staffers via hologram.
"Paul and I have been doing this show for 33 years, that's 6,028 shows," Letterman said on a seemingly serious note, before joking: Earlier today we got a call from Stephen Hawking, he ran the numbers because he's a genius. He said it makes out to be about eight minutes of laughter."
Letterman continued with the jokes. "Time gets away from you," he said. "When we started this program the hottest show on television was 'Keeping Up with the Gabors.'
The worst thing about not having his own show? "When I screw up now I have to go on somebody else's show to apologize."
"Do you remember Elian Gonzalez?" Letterman continued. "The kid is 21-years-old and yesterday he announced that he wants to come back to America. Now my question to you is, should I take this personally?"
Letterman later called bandleader Paul Schaefer his best friend, but told fans not to worry because the two aren't done in the entertainment 'biz just yet.
"We are going to continue on in show business. Next month in June, Paul and I will be debuting our new act with white tigers," he joked.
Letterman also showed two video tributes from Fox's "The Simpsons" and later "Wheel of Fortune."
Watch the full monologue below:

This is an open letter to GMPF, our business landlord. It is highly probable that it will be the first of many such letters over the next 18 months.
Dear GMPF,
Ten years ago this month I moved to Chorlton as a bit of a stop gap whilst I figured out what to do with my life. And, as life has panned out in the unexpected way that it does, I never left and I am now happily settled, raising two children and running a successful business in this strange but loveable suburb.
A heatwave was just kicking in on the day I came here back in 2006 which made the whole exciting move even more full of promise. We were in a whole new world of beer gardens, open mic nights and roof top BBQs! I remember going off to explore my new surroundings and stumbling upon the precinct and wondering if I had stepped into a 70's verion of the Twilight Zone. And I don't mean that as a negative – for me it felt special and was somewhere full of untapped potential. I always knew that it would inevitably be updated at some point, but I could very clearly picture a way to do it and still retain some of its nostalgic charm.
In the time I have lived here, Chorlton precinct has had at least 3 owners to my knowledge. And over the years, rumours of redevelopment have been ever present. I remember public consultations and architectural plans aplenty, but then the recession hit and all these plans were, I guess, put on the back burner.
For me, the timing was perfect. In 2011 I had my first child which gave me the opportunity to see those shop units in the precinct sitting empty and I began to formulate a long term plan – I knew by then that I wanted a business in Chorlton precinct and I was going to find a way to make it happen, no matter what.
Fast forward to the present day and that goal has been achieved…for now. I understood when I signed my lease that it expired in 2018 but I didn't worry because I don't think I fully appreciated the potential that my business had back then. I guess I thought I'd be just content to have a shop for a few years and I didn't really consider too far ahead. But time is ticking fast and battle mode is setting in.
I now have 3 children – a girl one, a boy one and a shop one. I unashamedly admit to loving the non-human one just as much as the human ones. The roots of all 3 are connected to the precinct to some degree and I can't accept that in less than 2 years it could all be over if all the spaces are allocated to large corporations. We have all worked hard to create something special in a part of Chorlton which we truly love. The Chorlton Art Market belongs in the precinct.
My fear is that the redevelopment will see the precinct turned into a soulless identikit plastic mall when I know that it has the potential to be something truly special and something which could be a real gem for Chorlton. As anyone who has ever lived here will tell you, Chorlton is a beautifully weird place, filled with people with a great sense of social pride and I believe that you, the landlords, have an amazing opportunity to create something that will sit pride of place in your property portfolio.
When the time comes, please consider the fate of my family business – a business which supports over 60 other local people and a business which is loved by an ever-growing customer base. In a place like Chorlton, with a bit of imagination something 'different' has the potential to thrive…but only if the opportunities are there. Please don't forget about us when you make your plans.

Meet a Westsider:
Mike Greer
Profession/Occupation... owner/ mechanic at Japanese Auto Specialist.
What I like most about the Westside is... all the parks, Garden of the Gods, Red Rock, Bear Creek, Monu-ment Valley and Beidleman.
If I could change anything about the Westside, it would be... Iĺd like to have better access from Garden of the Gods to Red Rock Canyon. Also a construction store like Home Depot.
A good movie Iĺve seen recently is... ôWar of the Worlds,ö with Tom Cruise. It was a good show.
The worst advice Iĺve ever gotten was... probably back when I first started the business. I was told that most businesses fail within the first 5 years. Iĺve been in business now since 1979.
If I could meet someone famous, Iĺd like to meet... the Wright brothers, Orville & Wilbur. They had a going business and they set it aside to pursue their dreams. It takes a lot of guts to do that when you have a profitable business and you take the chance of going broke.
The next time I travel, Iĺm going to... Iĺm thinking of going to Hawaii. Iĺve been there before but Iĺd like to take my wife there.
My favorite childhood memory is... just hanging around the Westside. I remember that in Old Colorado City, there used to be a toy store that had a balcony. Also hiking in the Garden of the Gods. Getting up on the rocks and being so scared about getting down. My friends and I used to do a lot of stuff on our own.
My favorite summer pastime is... riding my bike on all the trails, including Gold Camp Road. I can stay on the trails most of the time; theyĺre pretty well linked.

My pet peeve is... people who answer cell phones while weĺre talking and then they take the call.
If I won the lottery, Iĺd... invest in new technology that I want to get off the ground. I want to build exercise simulators.

Welcome to the SF Swappers blog, a place for like-minded food lovers and cooks to celebrate and explore all things homemade.
How did we get here? Let me tell you the story…
There once were three girls living in Santa Cruz, CA, and they loved rock and roll, and sunshine and healthy and delicious food and none of this seemed incongruous. They became friends and had fun and all ended up post-college in San Francisco where they continued living the good life.
Girl 1 (me): A lifelong chronic traveler, I've built up a checkered resume in between and during trips. From event planning for the United Nations 50th Anniversary to harvesting lavande sauvage in the Alpes-Maritimes in France, I ultimately landed at international travel publisher Lonely Planet where I worked for the past nearly 11 years. Love of books and language also made me find a home as a ESL/writing tutor and events conspirator at 826 Valencia, and a love of food stays with me wherever I go. I am currently taking a break from the work world and have reverted to my natural night-owl state where I stay up into the wee hours reading, and after sleeping in of course, spend my days swimming in the ocean and taking photos. There's been lots of spring cleaning, and an array of personal/crafty projects on simmer. Perhaps above all though, I have been reveling in the leisure of having time to shop for good food and cook! I cook at least two meals a day, often three…and to enjoy sharing lunch every day with my sweetie is a luxury beyond compare.
Girl 2: At UCSC, Stephanie worked at the Whole Earth Restaurant – the closest thing to a nerve-center the decentralized, woodland college campus had. For me, no trip to campus was without a stop at the Whole Earth, where I either had a spicy chai and delicious pumpkin bread to fuel me up for a stint at the library, or a big amazing green salad with a signature tasty blend of seeds on top. Always with seeds. Actually now that I think of it, what were those seeds, Stephanie? So, it was no surprise Stephanie went on to make her way in the world as a chef and culinary mistress – working in highly reputable restaurants and kitchens for the past twenty-some years. She now runs her own personal chef/catering business and is a founding member of a green wedding collective, both with an emphasis on sourcing local and sustainable ingredients and services.
Girl 3: Miss Jane Lerner is a gal who knows everyone and gives the perfect gift. I still cherish a big blue Boscoware bowl she gave me one birthday, and will always remember her going away party where all of the guys from the neighborhood institution Lucca Ravioli she was a regular at, not only hooked her up with incredible platters of food for the party, but all actually showed up to wish her bon voyage in person. This was late night and we were well past Jane's homemade limoncello shrimp appetizer and on to the stronger booze, but as a testament to how much they appreciated Jane, I think they even put up with the intoxicated dual brother/sister dance-off taking place. In New York she now earns her living and happiness writing. About food, about the Brooklyn Flea, and she also helps run BK Swappers which was recently featured in the NY Times!
Jane posted the article on her Facebook wall, both Stephanie and I saw it, and a simple "Are you thinking what I'm thinking Aimee?" comment from Stephanie was the only spark it needed. Here we are.
So thank you Facebook. For making it so easy to stay in touch across the distance, and stoke the fires of similar interests, and provide inspiration when needed. Oh yeah, and for making starting a food swap community in your town – wherever you may be – so easy.
Stay tuned for swapping how-to's and details on our first swap event coming up May 15th!

I've been slow lately on store visits. Just 1 in January and 4 so far in February. The problem I am running into is that the nearest store to me that I have not yet been to is an hour drive away. An hour there, 1/2 hour to eat, hour back - I don't have a lot of 2 1/2 hour free spots in my days. So I think the plan will be to move away from lunch time visits and start more field trips where I get two or three at time.
I am pleased to see that the online survey extended past the 12/31/09 deadline first listed. I figure I've done about 30 so far. Some day, I'll win that $25 gift card.
I revisited store number 2 (Now the oldest location - see here) last weekend. Although it is the closest store to me, I haven't been there in awhile, and when I started my quest to visit all the stores I thought I would hold this one back for another visit until some significant came along. It turns out, 3 feet of snow, kids who have had school cancelled for 7 days now (and counting) and no other nearby store is pretty significant.
Five Guys opened store number 569 yesterday. I have visited 64 locations. I am falling behind.

My aunt didn't waste any time. Within a day or two she had connected with my biological father letting him know that I wanted to make contact with my sister. He phoned my sister, Kim. He let her know that she had an older sister whom she had never met and told her that I wanted to meet her. My aunt sent me a message:
"I just received a call from Kim. She has been quite shook up but is willing to have contact. I have given her your email. I wish you both well."
Not long after that I received an email from my sister for the first time. It was brief, basically stating that she looked forward to hearing from me and learning more.
I wrote and rewrote an email to her and finally just decided to give her the gist of what I knew and who I was. I told her where I'd been born, that I had little brothers, I told her that I was married with a son, and I sent her some pictures.
She responded very honestly. She told me that initially upon finding out about me she was angry not just at her dad, but me. She thought that I might have some sort of hidden agenda. (I don't blame her for feeling uneasy). However, after reading the email I had sent her she said she was excited. She said, "I have always wanted a sister."
We began emailing every day trying to find out as much about each other as we possibly could. We wrote about everything we could think of from childhood memories, to what kinds of music we liked (we were surprised to discover we both loved celtic music). We found out we were both stay at home moms. Both of us described ourselves as shy, but social. We both enjoyed reality television - ha!
There were also some differences. First of all height. I figured since I was tall and I got my height from my biological father she would also be around 6'0" - but she told me she was 5'3". Despite our shared love of celtic music, she was partial to a lot of Broadway music and I admitted my preference to rap. She had four kids, two boys, two girls and I only had one at the time.
After several emails we came up with the idea of sending survey questions to one another so as to get to know each other better. The titles of the surveys looked something like this:
2. Your FAVES
3. Put a STaR next to EvEryThInG yOu HavE dOnE!!!
It was super cheesy, but one of the most hilarious things we could have done. The surveys asked a plethora of ridiculous questions, but in the midst of all the ridiculous questions there were thought-provoking questions sprinkled as well. We found out we were both married in August of 2002, merely 6 days apart.
For a while we just emailed. However, after copious amounts of emails had been exchanged we traded phone numbers. Our first phone conversation went really well. We talked for over an hour and discussed how much we would like to meet up face to face.
Later on she told me that I sounded like a valley girl, which I accepted to be true. I told her she sounded like a Yooper - (if you're unsure what a yooper sounds like, think Minnesotan-ish). We both laughed... really hard.
This must be what having a sister was all about.
It was December and we were both anxious to finally meet each other. My husband and I planned a trip to the other side of the state where Kim and I planned to meet up for coffee.
It felt like a first date. I had specially selected an outfit, planned my hair, and applied my makeup meticulously. I woke up more nervous than I expected with butterflies in my stomach. Would she actually like me in person? After a lifetime of wondering about this person, and a couple months of contact I was 100% invested in this relationship. I wanted nothing more than to burst through the door and hug her and tell her how much I loved her.

Creating your dream registry is a necessary part of the wedding planning process, but if you thought that selecting your new housewares involves mindlessly scanning just the basics, you're in for a pleasant surprise. While your wedding registry should include traditional items you'll need for your new home like dinnerware, linens, small appliances, and glassware, you don't have to pick the staid styles.
Since so many couples are cohabiting before the big day, odds are you already have many of the everyday essentials. If that's the case, consider your registry an opportunity to upgrade to picks that represent your style or unify the items you have at home. To help you build a wedding registry that is a combination of cool and functional, we found fresh takes on 10 major must-have items.
From your new go-to knife and some seriously amazing fine china to art-inspired linens and pretty-yet-practical glassware, each and every one of these housewares are anything but basic.
You'll likely still want to pick out a few more classic options (white everyday china and silver flatware will always be in style), but by adding a few poppy-pieces to your new home you can start to define your aesthetic as a married couple.
So go grab that zap gun and start shooting! Click through to see 10 serious upgrades on the classic registry items.

Limit to what Red Bull will accept says Mateschitz
Dietrich Mateschitz has warned that his company, the energy drink Red Bull, is not infinitely committed to formula one.
The Austrian billionaire's comments come as his premier F1 team, reigning world champions Red Bull, challenge the governing FIA over Daniel Ricciardo's disqualification in Melbourne over the fuel flow sensor saga.
"The fact is that the federation's sensor has given inaccurate values since the beginning of the (winter) tests," Mateschitz, who rarely gives interviews, told the Vienna daily Kurier.
"We can prove that we were within the limits" in Australia, he added.
Mateschitz has said before that Red Bull is prepared to leave formula one if the sport no longer gives the company the sort of economic value it is seeking.
Now, he clarified: "The question is not so much about whether it makes economic sense, but more to do with the sporting value, political influence and the like.
"We have had it all but on these things from our perspective there is a clear limit to what we can accept," Mateschitz added.
He also expressed frustration about F1's all-new era of smaller, greener, quieter and more efficient 'power units'.
"Formula one should be again what it always has been: the ultimate discipline," said the 69-year-old Austrian.
"It is not there to set new records in fuel consumption, or so you can talk at a whisper during a race and the greatest thrill is the squealing of the tyres.
"I consider it equally absurd that we are going a second slower than last year and that the junior series GP2 is almost as fast as formula one with a fraction of the budget," he added.
But even though he may not like the 'new' F1, Mateschitz said Red Bull is not giving up the fight to catch dominant Mercedes in 2014.
"We are working around the clock with our partner Renault and will make another big step in the next two to three weeks. There are 18 races to go.
"We will be back," he promised.

Fly Away
She has not accepted my idea of Homeschool College as being a solid substitute for going away. I find that unacceptable.
We've had a good summer. Almost no fighting or yelling or sass. It's been . . . nice. Truly. Lots of lazing around when we're all home, watching movies and talking about the world. Spending time at the pool, where I do my water aerobics and she pretends she's not mortified to be seen with me. A nice summer.
And now it's almost over and I really, truly, have to plan the rest of my life. She is looking forward to leaving - to leaping away from me and the husband and the world we've created for her. I'm thrilled for her and so sad for me.
I had a stress dream where I enrolled in school to be with her and she ditched me.
She is ready.
I'm almost ready. The husband is resigned.
It's a good family dynamic to have. It's a good way to set her on her own, to give her the push from the nest.
And I have no master plan on having her move back in when I tell her to major in Gender Issues and minor in Film Studies.

There were diverse miracles and testimonies last week in Mgbidi, Imo State during the 2013 edition of the annual convention of The Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement.
The theme of the convention that attracted thousands within and outside the country was "That His wonders may be multiplied".
The founder of the church, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, encouraged Christians to be steadfast and faithful in their walk with God.
Making comparisons with the experience of the Israelites in Egypt, the preacher said God sometimes permits Christians to encounter problems and suffering to manifest and multiply His wonders in their lives.
"No matter what you are going through today, you must know that God is not asleep. You must not lose faith or give up hope. He is permitting it so that His wonders may be multiplied in our lives as His children," he stated.
Muoka said Christians must take it upon themselves to pray for leaders in line with biblical injunction.
He said: "Every time we gather here, we just don't pray for ourselves, we also pray for our country and leaders because the Bible commands us to do so."
There were amazing testimonies of healings, restoration, deliverances, miracle babies and marriages at the sessions.

"Overall View"
10 x 20 acrylic on stretched canvas
Commissioned piece - NFS
Because of the wider spread of the property, I had suggested the wider canvas (10 x 20). I thought it would compliment the setting better than a typical canvas of 16x20 or similar ratio. Again, the only request was to make it "autumn", which I did again with a mix of the greens. The 2 paintings compliment each other nicely, and will look wonderful hung on the same wall.
That is one thing with stretched canvas with gallery edges (as both of these have). They can be hung without frames - and for gift-giving, that is very helpful. (as well as helping with shipping costs!) Picking out a frame for someone is probably harder than actually commissioning the painting! Both of these paintings are on galley stretched canvas with 1/2 inch sides - and I continued the image on all 4 sides. It gives the paintings a very nice, finished look.
There is still time to commission a painting for the holidays - but time is getting close so contact me soon (Thanksgiving is on the later side of November this year). Whether a homestead, house, favorite building or scene - or a treasured pet! An original painting makes a wonderful gift!

Baruch 5:1-9, Malachi 3:1-4, Luke 1:68-79, Psalm 126, Philippians 1:3-11, Luke 3:1-6
As we have entered the Advent season, preparing for the celebration of the birth of our Savior, we are overwhelmed with the secular aspect of Christmas: spending money. We look at the affluent in our society and watch their indulgences with fascination.
We also tend to look at those who have attained their wealth it seems at the expense of others, with no outward repercussions, as untouchable or unstoppable. We, in a sense, envy them. However, I am here to remind you all that there is a difference between us and them.
Those of them that value money more than anything else suffer more than we realize. Their lives are basically in a bubble and their decadence usually comes to light in an unflattering way. They single-handily have created an industry of gossipers and voyeurs documenting their every move.
Those of us who value our relationship with God don't have to worry about those things. We commit sin, but we repent, and we stay in prayer for forgiveness and favor. We understand that the only judgement we have to worry about is the final one. No publicist can spin our way out of that one. No lawyer on earth can successfully defend our case in the end. We must stand accountable for our actions and we are gravely aware of that.
The grass may be greener on the other side, but we don't need all the fertilizer either. Life is tough enough as it is, knowing that carnal and supernatural forces are constantly testing us, we don't need to abandon our relationship with God for the sake of wealth as well.
Not all of God's people need to have millions of dollars to be considered wealthy. Their faith is the true measurement of their wealth, for nothing is more glorious than the guarantee of eternal life and favor with God.
Nothing is wrong with being wealthy. It is only wrong if you are wealthy only in a worldly view. Treasure your relationship with God and live in the security of peace and happiness. That, to coin a phrase, is really priceless.

Prolatus Announces UK Reseller Partnership with Litho Supplies
Tuesday, April 16, 2002
Press release from the issuing companyApril 15, 2002 -- Prolatus UK is today pleased to announce the appointment of Litho Supplies as a UK Reseller Partner. Under the terms of the agreement, signed at IPEX today, Litho Supplies will offer the Prolatus range of remote proofing, retouching and file transfer products on a UK-wide basis through their network of offices. Litho Supplies, based in Bromsgrove, is one of the UK's largest suppliers of technology to the printing and allied trades. Litho Supplies Sales Director for Electronics, Steve Dodds, commented "We see the Prolatus product range as an excellent set of sales tools for our team, both to help us into new accounts and also as good value-added incremental sales into some of our established accounts." He continued "We have been impressed by what we have seen at Prolatus, and we are looking forward to a very fruitful relationship." Commenting on this latest appointment, Prolatus UK Technical Services Director John Georgallis said, "To get a Reseller of the size and profile of Litho Supplies is a tremendous boost for everyone involved with the business." Georgallis continued "This means more feet on the street for us, which will help us follow up the incredible number of leads we have picked up so far at IPEX." Prolatus Inc CEO Jeff Hoekstra commented "Our Reseller Partner Channel is going to play a crucial role in the UK and Europe, so it is great to be working with Steve and his team at Litho Supplies." Prolatus is the architect of revolutionary pre-media production and collaboration suite of tools and solutions. With MarkUp, PROLATUS makes hard proofing more nimble by injecting technology into a mark-up process that has not changed in years. MarkUp is not yet another proofing system - it works with any existing hard copy proof output. The patent-pending system focuses on the correction information, capturing the exact marks made on the proof, creating a corresponding digital image file, and sending it instantly to the prepress specialist or printer. Proofs can be routed to several different people or departments, with MarkUp keeping track of what changes were made by whom. And the proofing marks are easier to read, since they can be viewed as individual layers. No more problems with thick marker lines obliterating details of the proof.

To: Mr. Frank Gleasure, 56 Gardner Street, Allston, Mass. (Boston)
Dear Pa: -
I received your registered letter with money yesterday but you shouldnt have put so much in because you can use it more than I can but I got it safely anyway. I got a letter from Jimmy yesterday, he didnt have much to say & besides I couldnt read half of his handwriting in the first place. I wrote to Madeline about a month ago but as yet havent received an answer. I also got a card from Theresa on my birthday. Things here are going along as usual except that the boat training is getting tougher all the time but it will soon be over, we were out in the boats all night once last week and about 90 percent of everybody on board were sea sick, you never saw such a sorry looking bunch in your life, it didnt get me because I stood on my feet so that I could ride on an even keel, if you let yourself sway with the boat you get sick and I didnt do that so thats why it didnt effect me. Its Sunday here now & its so hot you cant breathe. Well this is about all for now so Ill close till I hear from you again.
