Patrick... I'm frustrated by your writings... I used to love your personality before, but since i encounter you blog...it's just showing me what an actual person you are...
(But why? What did I do that you liked before and don't now?)
Same to those who sparks any racial sentiment might it be in the speech or forum or whatso ever...Once started the other party definitely will retaliate..vice versa...this is not good for multi racial country...
You should not excite the racial hatred posting in your comments as this is not good for multiracial country..but then again being biased you will say this is the freedom of expression whereof when it is "sensitive" to your race..such a big Hoo Haa and NIAMAH will come out of your mouth and blog.
(Racial hatred postings??? I had thought that I was totally against that and said so. No ah?)
As long as people like you, Patrick and Ahmad Bukit Bendera don't change the mentality, untill then we will never hope to see a really muhibbah and equality Malaysia...NIAMAH ur head
Never been called a racist before.

BN brainwashing is still working, though it seems that people learned to sense the uninspiring empty statements a mile away.
"Abdullah pledged to complete the tasks he had initiated such as legal and judicial reforms and a revamp of the ACA. Race relations, religious affairs and eradication of hardcore poverty were also on his agenda to be completed before he was ready to pass the premiership to Najib, he said"
Wonderful! the leader of a nation having such dreams, indeed is comforting. Isn't it.
"although there is no tremendous economic development, the country still had made significant progress."

yar, sure you're not wrong...you can say that anytime. Blardy positive aren't we.
too bad to the fella still swimming in the "BN's Malaysia" pool.

I found that recently it has been a lot of Pro-UMNO posting coment and blogs all over the cybercafe!
this blogs and comments only come out recently about a month or less.
coult it be UMNO paying this cyber kids to do this,just like they paid those Mogok-ster to tunjuk perasan on the roadside?
I wonder who got higher paid?
UMNO-bloggers or UMNO-mogokster?
- 12:10 am
It's a fad these days.
Can't rebut with a point, just say "That's a racist statement!" or "You are racist!"
What to do, we live in a racist country?

I don't think there is anything racist in Tun's post, or any of his posts. I admire his courage for being so open. His writing is fantastic, and always manages to get his main points across.
He's also been called racist from his readers/comments, but I think he 'managed' it better than you. To be honest, I agree with this reader's comment. The posts are getting a lil repetitious harping about the same old story.

Pat...I was with Amin..Bakaq...Nat...and Sheih's sister and relatives at the Police HQ..having a candle light virgil for kickdefella.
All in all...25 of us...but we had only 15 minutes....and was ordered to dispersed by police.
Two wellknown bloggers asked me...why do I responded to those ...out to insult me?
I said...I had to defend myself.
They said...everyone knows me...what to defend?
So..Pat...everyone knows you much much more ..than me.
You are a freedom fighter...an actor....and your voice..thrills millions.
Guys like us..that goes back 40 years...know..only you ...dare to confront and expose the police...at that time..on radio talk shows.
YOU HAVE GUTS....so many admire and respect you!!
So Pat...just ignore all those criticizing you.
Seriously...You need not prove anything.
You are larger than life...more..than you can ever imagine!
Just ignore them.
Be happy...well and good.

The person who commented failed his/her english papers or what?
I didnt understand the comments at all...absolutely, totally.
Ah well, he/she probably means you raced some demented vehicular contraption when he/she said you're a 'racist'...

That fler like watching soccer matches and ask why that fella score not counted one ; dont even know what offside is..to digress a little.. suddenly you reminds me of a talk show u do..which you started with putting a tissues on your head..and you asking why Malaysians put the tiny tissues on the head when raining..knowing it will not help..that was damn kelakar wei...niamah..
- 2:41 am
Who is this fello? Another flip flop, first saying he likes Patrick and now say don't like?
I think this fello don't really understand what Patrick is talking about in his blog all this while.
Engrish also tak betol...Oh blimey!
- 2:54 am
there's a first time for everything lah Uncle Pat ^^
But this is more towards comedy, and show how some people can be so narrow minded sometimes and not think thoroughly before throwing words and start accusing :D
Now that's betul-betul NIAMAH!

Ah ha..Pat, you've got a secret admirer who loves you personally..oops your personality.

- 6:07 am
Never, I love you before and now. Will you marry me?.
That is typical product of BN politic and BN racial unity. The unity basis is build upon ISA and solely "compromisation" (once can not voice-out, can not think, just follow). This is the basis of race unity in BN context for 51 yrs now, and that is so wrong!.
Let's talk more and open, so long the intention is rite! we are doing the real nation building. We rakyat and talking and lead the way for the political leader to follow...

Uncle Pat,
No, I don't think you are racist, you are just brave!
Oh..and I love your performance in En Bloc =P you are cool~
Your fan =D

the person who called you racist could be a rare breed indeed. Nevermind, freedom of speech. But, a big ONE for this guy to shaft it in.... ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON???
For the past 5o years, we Malaysians did not choose our garmen wisely and yet took whatever being given to us. The more you kow-tow this is what you get now. Everything is biased!

I disagree with his opinions.It is not about race but unfortunately all those perverted antics are from a govt which is dominated by a certain race.
He is entitled to his opinions but whether he is right or wrong is another subject matter.
We accept what is good and reject what is bad.
Your satirical portrayal of those incidents are very humourous and comical.
Do what you do best.
- 8:34 am
wow, this fella talks exactly like the gahmeh or the police. Just accuse, bambam bam. Dude, show la where and what did Patrick said that makes you say that he is a racist. Dont just accuse la, show proof.
- 8:57 am
If Patrick Teoh is a racist then our Najib is a saint!!!
- 9:12 am
I am wondering if you are one of the '15' on the target ISA list?
Maybe that guy is trying to warn you.
Anyway our politicians should get ISO14K certification. They are good at recycling old tunes and rhetorics to the rakyat educated by the curriculum of PMR/SPM/STPM/Metriculation/UiTM... (not that everyone can get overseas education). Nothing new to bring the country forward, instead always 'belakang pusing' to syiok sendiri (self relief).
Thanks or no thanks to Pakatan's 916 and those honest commentary by the bloggers to counter the @#$% of mainstream media, rakyat are now better informed.

You do have my sympathies getting such comments from readers. But I do notice one thing - those who condemn people usually do not dare to write down their names, rather they use 'anonymous'. I have read your previous blog entry on this commentor, who also signed off as anonymous. Come on lar, you dare to write, show yourself. Using anonymous is like someone who wants to voice out something but scared of the consequences. If you are scared of the consequences, then shut up. Unfortunately, there are many people like this and they think their mentality is superb!
- 9:37 am
Uncle Pat,
I guess when statements linking certain political party with race backgrounds will definitely spark a racial outburst no matter how innocent or meaningless it is. Umno for malays, dap and MCA for chinese while MIC for indians. the point and fact is, its whats happening nowadays that makes msian at the edge of their seats and anything with regards to other races or religion would and will be taken as a racial remark.
People nowadays are smarter and less conservative, that makes us more open to things but not racial issue. Our leaders or theirs (depending on who u are) have started sumthing that they shudn't. U and ur readers are simply saying ur thoughts and some of them miss the lines in between or something.
- 9:52 am
I'm angry, realllllly angry. Not a good start for the morning, ffff!
Hello, hello, r u deaf, blind or both?
MALAYSIA is a multi-racial country. I just double checked a few second ago.
Again -
The population size of M'sian is Malay 50.4%, Chinese 23.7%, indigenous 11%, Indian 7.1%, others 7.8% (2004 est., source CIA factbook). So the non-Malay M'sian actually constitutes 49.6%!
In term of religion profile; Muslim 60.4%, Buddhist 19.2%, Christian 9.1%, Hindu 6.3%, Confucianism, Taoism, other traditional Chinese religions 2.6%, other or unknown 1.5%, none 0.8% (2000 census, source CIA factbook). So the non-Muslim actually make up 39.6% of all M'sians!
U want to champion human right? Race equality? A patriotist? Then look NO further than these abuses of M'sian Rights.
Look at those ISA detainees? Those ill-treated illegal workers! Those pooooors of all races scattered throughout the country. Most of all look at the true 'Bumis' of M'sia - the natives at the out-fringes of the P/E Msia's 'in-lands'!
For crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we have diversity in unity????
The non-Malay r not small minority. AND they don't just speak B M'sia, they speak other languages too!!!!
If the non-Malay can learn to speak B M'sia, why don't those bigots/ignoramus/nincompoops learn to speak other languages for a change?
This ACT will not down-grade B M'sia, instead it will help to foster inter-racial understandings. It'll also make u people MORE MARKETABLE in this flatten world!
Unless U r too deep-shitted about yr ketuanan to understand yr maruah, to keep on depending on handouts on the expenses of other deserving poors!!!
The non-Malays r not just Muslim, there r other faiths followers,too.
And again the number is NOT small!!
To paraphrase the language issue, it's just like saying that all M'sians must be Muslim, in order to be patriotic. Was it not the mono-linguists constant insidious demand that all M'sians must speak the national language? Yes, speak we do & yet to the extent that they subconsciously demand ALL speak just one language! Where is the logic?
Ya - national school for all. But first clean the school of religious bigots, improve disciplines, expand language options. Most of all PUT the RIGHT people to be in charge - not just quota-filling!
For once look at the facts of life, if not the numbers. U want to continue living in the cocoon? By all means do it to yourselves & leaves us, other M'sians, alone to do things our ways. Period.

padan muka patrick. panggil orang racist pandai pulak.. tapi bila kena batang hidung sendiri, mengamuk pulak.
sometimes we need to look in the mirror and do some self reflection.
but grumpy old men never change... kan patrick?

- Andrew Chia said...
Theory: The guy who posted this was sincerely. He really liked Patrick before. Why did he now think Patrick is racist?
I think our fren got some problems with English, you can see from his writing that his English is not really ok. So, he could have just misinterpreted some parts of Patrick's posting.
Anyway, it's a common problem for a lot of people not to be specific. It's easy to say, "Patrick, you no good." Now, poor Patrick can never figure out which part of him that is no good.
Our friend should quote exactly which sentence in Patrick's posting that he considers racist. Then we can judge mah.

"Same to those who sparks any racial sentiment might it be in the speech or forum or whatso ever"
so any fler who says aku ni bangga sama bangsaku or whatever is a racist. macam ni tak kira BN ke PR ke semua masuk lockup kerana main isu perkauman.
if you want to create a "really muhibbah and equality Malaysia", then macam mana dgn pihak umno yg sentiasa nak bangkit soal2 hak melayu diancam pihak lain?
natashakhm: "The posts are getting a lil repetitious harping about the same old story."
true la, but how if the same old story refuses to go away after 51+ years? after so much development, economic progress and rising living standards, why are we still dealing with the same questions, issues and problems of our parents and grandparents?
maybe the repetition is necessary until we get the message.

Hi Patrick,
He's just another wonderful? product of our eduction system: unable to think critically, and unable to read (we can see that he can't write!) in English.
My guess is, if he did read your posts, he didn't get them: Your engrand too powderful lah!(to steal someone's else's phrase!)

Be cool about it. I share the same sentiment that there are more Pro Umno guys around nowadays. And high flers like you (racist), W Chun Wai (anti-Pas), Teresa(Islamphobe) are getting cat calls. I find it extremly childish. Reminds me of a quote from Hitler ( via zorro's blog) that says something like this" Tell a big lie, tell it repeatedly and loudly and it will become the truth.".
Lets call each other racist ya while Ahmad Ismail is not.

First of all, anyone or everyone who wants to be a saint telling others that they are racist, hypocrites and whatever not (including myself), pls go cermin urself first...
For the past 2 days I hv been reading a lot of f**ked up comments just because commentors dont like how things are being written...
Screw u guys!! We are the writers and why do you guys out there bother how we write it?? If you are so smart then start your own f**king blog and blog all you want and how you want la!!!
KNN CCB!!! When have we not been racist? Every f**king human being is a racist in 1 way or the other... Humans are not only racist but hypocrites and biased as well... Do you dare to say you guys out there are not biased???
F**k u if you said you are not biased!!! If you are not biased then why do you love your child more than the other one?!?!?!
If you are not biased, then why do you have preference? Aint preference a form of biasness??
You guys come out and start whacking people as if you were a noble lot! At least we are voicing out the reality of life rather than you guys living behind your own shadows...
Let me say this now. You guys are equally racist because you judge a person from his or her writing... What gives you the right to judge a person just thru his writing?
Screw 'dem all...

Anomie..If Malaysia have many like you...the younger generations are in safe hands.
I hope your statistics are right. I think so.
In actual fact..oppositions grouped together in population were slightly more than the Muslims...until more babies were encouraged by UMNO.
"Produce ..produce....don't worry.We will take care of them"
So farmers...fishermen produced...and look at our government.
You get what you produced.
I have been sick of Malaysian Chinese selfish attitudes...especially under Mahathir's last election.
But all is well now.
We are heading for a change of government...as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.
Be cool...stay cool and calm.
And for that person who insult Pat...if he is pro UMNO..his days are numbered to succeed in carrying balls. If he has a weak mind...can easily be influenced...then wake up and respect this wonderful senior citizens..Pat .whom I know personally for more than 30 years.
He talks little and do so much for Malaysia.
Please be grateful....and he is no member ..nor support any political party.He is flexible and smart.
But I know...both of us..wanted a change of government....as long as we both can remember.

What in the world is wrong with this person? How in the world did he/her interpret your thoughts? I feel the individual lacks tolerance and the ability to empathize with Malaysians.
I love your writings, they are from the heart and you say it like it is. If only we had blogs and on-line petitions during the "Ducks" fiasco we would still have you on-air getting no-holds-barred commentary.
Keep the fire burning Patrick.
- 11:40 am
Patrick, I'd been following your blog for awhile and no sir, you are definitely not racist. Funny, people accuse you a racist but didnt attempt to elaborate why. Best to just ignore him.
- 7:51 pm
To the illiterate who called Patrick a racist, here is a definition of racism for you to understand before you make another erroneous comment!
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
- 11:26 pm
Patrick, I really hope that donkey who wrote that comment is reading the comments your readers have written about him/her!

Patrick.... u terrible man, such a fucken racist, elitist, homophobic, male chauvinist!!! kekekeke...
hey u muthafucka who claimed Niamah "excites racial hatred".. go polish your England 1st lah... then excite yourself by sucking a banana...
- 2:19 am
What if the other person is right? What if Patrick have been blinded by his own "world view". Instead of "questioning" the other person opinion/feedback, why don't Patrick being brave of assessing his viewpoint. The question goes to all other people here. Government or opposition, racist or non-racist, we should use our brain more than our heart.

"The population size of M'sian is Malay 50.4%, Chinese 23.7%, indigenous 11%, Indian 7.1%, others 7.8% (2004 est., source CIA factbook). So the non-Malay M'sian actually constitutes 49.6%!
For crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we have diversity in unity????"
For anonymous on 10:00 am above, the problem of unity if you look around, most of the issue resolve around friction between Bumiputera and the Chinese. If we take out the Chinese, I dare say the problem of integration and unity shall not be a problem. Why is this happen? This is happen due to inability of the Chinese to accept the native culture and way of life resulted from their economic standing in the country. With the "rich and intelligent" status hold by the Chinese, it is difficult for them to befriend the Bumiputera as they regard them as lower in status compare to them. They might not say this in open, but it is there. For example, if we look in private companies, why is that Bumi workers of the same qualification with the Chinese receives lower salary compare to the Chinese? The answer is that, there is a perception in the Chinese manager that the Chinese worker will be more productive compare to Bumi workers. While this is not true, the perception persist. At the same time, look at the job advertisement that ask for "Mandarin" speakers only, even though the nature of job such that Mandarin is not the requirement. The "high" level of the Chinese status unable to permit them to befriend the native and make them consider such act as non-racist.
Now guys, try not being "emotional" in replying the above thought.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is the sequel to Epic Megagames Jazz Jackrabbit, in it, the notorious Devan Shell returns, stealing Eva Earlong's wedding ring to use to power a time machine which can be used to erase Jazz from history.
While the game was successful, it was not successful enough to prevent the two companies that published the game (Project 2 Interactive for Jazz 2, Orange Games for TSF) from collapsing. The same engine was later used for two other less notable projects, Battery Check, and A Gigantic Demo, an animaniacs game.

File formats
This section lists the major file formats used in the game.
- J2A Format The game's sprites Anims.J2A are in this format
- Jazz 2 Cinematics Movie files used for the intro and ending.
- Jazz 2 Episode Files *.=j2e files contain episode selection screens for default and custom episodes.
- Jazz 2 Language Data Used to translate the game into various languages, users can in fact write their own translations
- Jazz 2 Level Format *.=j2l files use this, these are game levels.
- Jazz 2 Music Format *.=j2b are music files, though the game also uses .it and .s3m music formats interchangeably.
- Jazz 2 Tile Format *.=j2t files use this, these are tilesets (And tile masks) for levels.
- Zlib Compression - Nearly all JJ2 files are compressed using this.
The JCS or Jazz Creation Station is the built-in level editor for Jazz 2. It allows players to create their own tilesets and levels to be played or posted online and was a big feature in the creation of the Jazz 2 community. There are several versions that write incompatible level formats.
There are many versions of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 released and it can be difficult to discern between them. This include OEMs, christmas releases, patches and TSF, as well as a fan attempt at making a 'version 1.25'
Retail versions (1.20 to 1.23)
The standard, most common version, most likely 1.23. These are the main release and its patches to correct various bugs. Only minor differences exist between them.
It's what it says, a Demo. It's the same as the one included with the retail versions with only 3 SP levels, a CTF Level and Treasure Hunt Level. No JCS included.
Macintosh version (version number 1.2.8)
(Version changes to 1.22eu or 1.22us after applying the custom listserver patch.) No changes has been made for this release, aside from the lack of JCS. As it says, it's for the Macintosh.
('Special edition') This is basically a stripped-down version of JJ2 with only one of the four official episodes.
The Secret Files aka "TSF" (version number 1.24)
This was supposed to be an add-on, but it got turned into a separate game with its own .exe file. Compared to the regular retail version it had some changes, like an increased tileset limit for JCS (from 1024 tiles to 4096), a new character called Lori and some animation and engine overhauls. It also has 12 new levels (9 SP, 2 new Race levels and a new Battle level, though the MP Levels aren't either fully integrated, or finished), as well some of the best User Levels at the time. Because of the overhauls, TSF and the regular retail versions are incompatible, although you can still play levels from version 1.20 and above in TSF. Anything made with the TSF JCS will not work with earlier versions. TSF was only released in Europe, which explains the low activity.
TSF Demo (version number 1.24s)
An "upgraded" version of the original Shareware Demo, it now has two of the official TSF Levels added (and Lori of course). Still no JCS though.
Holiday Hare 98 and Christmas Chronicles (1.23x \ 1.24x)
These are the special Christmas editions of JJ2 with 5 new levels (3 SP and 2 Battle). Funnily enough, they both share the same official levels, but each had its own release date and area: Holiday Hare was released in the US in 1998 and Christmas Chronicles in Europe in 2000. Christmas Chronicles is the superior version as it was based on the TSF engine (and therefore features Lori), and had contest entries from the Easter Level contest. Only Christmas Chronicles had JCS, and levels made with that only work with Christmas Chronicles...
OEM / Beta versions
(Version numbers below 1.20) Short for "Original Equipment Manufacturer", these versions are shipped with customised computers when JJ2 was released, hence their nickname. Of course, they eventually made their way onto the net as everybody thought it was the full version. However, as the lower version numbers indicate, these are actually beta versions. Of all versions in the list, the OEM versions are the odd ones out because of different coding and encryption of data. While all retail versions use file formats like .j2l, .j2t and the like, the OEM versions still had formats like .lev and common formats for music (.it and .s3m). Plus they didn't have online capabilities at the time they were created. At the moment version 1.00g is the most common one floating around followed by 1.00h, but another has also turned up: version 1.10o. That version has standard JJ2-specific formats, which means the encryption had taken place at the time it was made.
Version 1.25
Version 1.25 is a fan project by UNKNOWNFILE (that means not endorsed, nor supported by Epic Games) to fix the plethora of bugs and glitches left behind after the hastened releases of JJ2 and TSF. It is available only as a patch for 1.23 and 1.24.

IP address subranges within this IP range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

It's been quite a while since I've been here. I was taking a break for summer & then just when I was about to get started writing here again, the world got twisted and turned wrong-way-round.
Like a train barreling down the tracks at full speed slamming directly into my heart. The words of my 16 year old son's oncologist {the fact that my son even has an oncologist} stopped my heart, my world, my everything. And then in the same millisecond it all began to chaotically race in a tumbling out-of-control fashion; swirling and twisting around me, my mind failing to be able to hold together my very being.
Then came the information. All the information. Treatment. Medications. Side effects. Blood counts. Procedures. I was suddenly being asked to drink from a fire hydrant flowing full force at my face. "Take it all in! Quickly!"
Blurry. Messy. Fear. Tears. Questions. What-if's. Who knows? All clamoring for my attention, my thoughts, my time, my now. And in the very next millisecond, decisions are made, papers are signed, treatment begins. Without time to process, think, ponder, decide. Hit by a train, flooded with information – GO!
My sweet ginger haired boy was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma on September 21. After several weeks of misdiagnosis and "he's a tough case", lymphoma was confirmed by lymphoid biopsy and bone marrow biopsy. Stage 4 Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma – ALCL.
Port went in. PET scan for baseline done. Chemo began.
He's finished one full round of chemo out of a total of six. Five to go {those are some stellar math skills!} Five days of chemo on a 22 day cycle. But as I've quickly learned, NOTHING is schedule-able when it comes to Cancer. Nothing. Everything that I enjoy being so well thought out and printed neatly on a calendar weeks and weeks in advance is up for complete & total rearrangement at any moment thanks to Cancer. Crazy, chaotic, unknown is where I currently reside {hopefully temporarily}. Routine & schedule {two of my favorite friends} have had to sit down and be quiet. At least for a while.
If you're interested, we have a Caring Bridge site for Alex. It'll be the story of Alex and his cancer treatment. Updates, hard stuff & {hopefully} plenty of celebratory posts! Feel free to pop over there.
Here, however, is where I plan to tackle cancer from a mama's heart. It's his cancer story, but it's "my boy with cancer" story. Feel free to follow along here.
He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might He increases power. – Isaiah 40:29

"Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature. If [one hundred years from now] the next centennial does not find us a great nation... it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces." - from James A Garfield's centennial address to Congress in 1876.

Through the Finnmark to Alta
Day 47
After a nice stay in Palojärvi i continued my trip. Just 10 km later I crossed the Finnish-Norwegian border and entered the Finnmark, the northernmost part of Norway. It was still very grey, very windy and quite warm with temperatures round zero. And that's how the road looked like in the open, where the wind covered parts of the roads with snow drifts.
Soon I arrived in Kautokeino, where the Sami culture is quite big. Most signs have the Sami language first, in some of the front yards are fenced reindeers, women wear traditional Sami dresses and on the outside of many houses are reindeer skins hanging for drying.
I made a short break to make some photos of the church and the graveyard.
After a short rest I continued northwards. The landscape was first as flat as a pancake but gradually started to become hilly. Almost all I could see was grey birches and white snow, almost like a black-white painting. The yellow central dividing strip of the road and here and there a traffic sign were the only visible colours.
After an hour the hills got larger and finally a found a parking place, that wasn't in the middle of a birch wood. Even if the thermometer showed 0 °C it was extremely chilly due to the strong winds that even shook my parked car and I had to protect face and hands against the coldness. Just one picture into the valley showing a small village.
The hills got steeper and sheer rocks appeared, some of them covered with turquoise blue ice that seemed to glow from its inside. The landscape started to get a bit colourful.
Now the most interesting part of the road began. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't make any photos, but the road had so many curves and bends and not a single parking bay, that I didn't dare to stop. Suddenly the road was bordered by steep black-brown rock walls, it was almost like driving into a canyon. Then the road went down, the landscape opened again and suddenly I was surrounded by a green pine forest. After some hours of seeing only black-white it was amazing and felt like driving into another country with another climate. Minutes later the cloud layer broke and the sun lingered through the gap illuminating a snowy mountain at the horizon making all finally colourful again.
This looked so nice, that I decided to stay to nights in Alta. Now I only needed a cheap room. The employees at the tourist information had some difficulties in understanding that their job is to help tourists, but that's another story … . Finally I could convince one of them to find a room for me. I drove back to the camping place in Øvre Alta, where I stay in a nice, small cabin without water but with internet (that's more important!) for two nights. But before it went dark I returned into town and took two images near a partly frozen bay.

"The origins of pulp fiction in India can be traced back to Jasoosi Panja, an Urdu magazine that was published from Allahabad in the 1950s. Its publisher, Akram Allahbadi, was a prolific writer and trade unionist who produced some of the most popular works in Urdu pulp fiction," says N.K. Verma, chairman of Diamond Pocket Books. Prompted by the magazine's popularity, Diamond started the 'Rs 1 series' of Urdu paperbacks in 1958. A few years later, Hind Pocket Books published the first of its Hindi pulp fiction books, spawning a wave that was to grip the country's Hindi belt. "We had a diverse readership but our primary readers were women," Verma says.
Sold as an attractive well-rounded package with piquant covers, this original kitsch was popular long before the term 'pulp fiction' became fashionable. Authors like Gulshan Nanda, Surendra Mohan Pathak, Anil Mohan, Ved Prakash Sharma and Ranu were household names, and hugely popular with housewives, college students, frequent travellers, old-timers and aficionados.
"In the glory days, some 50-odd publishers mass produced these books, since people had little access to other media back then," says Surendra Mohan Pathak, the grandmaster of Hindi pulp fiction. Pathak's Painsanth Lakh ki Dakaiti (The Rs 65 lakh heist) sold more than 25 lakh copies over a period of 40 years, a record which remains unbeaten until today.
Cut to 1992. Satellite television arrived in India, heralding a slow and painful death for Hindi pulp fiction. The industry witnessed a hard-hitting 80% drop, which prompted publishers to fan out to other genres such as biographies, spiritual and health guides, homecare and self-help books to stay in business.
As pulp fiction hit rock bottom, writers and their creations slowly evaporated from print and from our collective memories. Even the holy trinity of pulp fiction—Pathak, Nanda and Ved Prakash—couldn't salvage it. "We were the stepping stones from which readers graduated to higher literature. When television stole our readers, we just watched helplessly," says Pathak, a veteran with more than 270 books in his kitty. Today, he feels, the readership is largely restricted to the lower-income groups and aficionados.
In one of the darkest chapters of the pulp fiction industry, it was discovered that many publishers were employing ghost writers to counter established (and hence more expensive) authors. "Ghost writers demanded peanuts for their work and original authors were gradually discarded," says Pathak.
In the past, there have been attempts to translate some bestsellers into English. "But it was not until Blaft Publications' translations that Ibn-e-Saifi's and my books were revived in public memory. Since then, I have received numerous offers for film adaptations and English translations," says Pathak. The Hindi industry, too, is trying to change tracks. Inspired by Bhagat's success, young authors are being encouraged to churn out 300-page light romantic novels; it is a different matter that these writers are required to pay Rs 25,000 as advance payments to publishers to print their books, says Pathak.

Welcome to CoMoChEng – the home of Computational Modeling in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. The primary focus of our research is the development of detailed microkinetic models for complex reacting systems, like combustion and bio-fuel processing.
Our approach is to automate the discovery of reaction pathways, and the calculation of key parameters using ab initio quantum chemistry calculations.
These kinetic models will link to multi-scale models of the reactor systems so that the overall process can be understood and optimized as a whole.
This approach towards microkinetic model development will then contribute to two separate areas of catalytic materials research: the understanding of flame aerosol catalyst synthesis, and the optimization and understanding of catalytic processes, leading to catalyst design and discovery.

Some of you may know we've started a regular event called Veils and Cocktails (the next one is November 18th!), where we get to play dress up with accessories, have a drink, and get excited about all the fun little details that make up a wedding. I'm a little obsessed with veils right now. I've always been a big believer in accessories as a way to take a dress from great to "oh my god amazing", as well as the fantastic ability to make it fit your personal style. Taking a classic ballgown dress and pairing it with a chunky necklace and birdcage veil, all of a sudden we've gone from classic romance to super chic with the exact same dress. You can take something traditional and make it funky, something super clean and simple and make it sparkle, or something totally fun and unique and bring back a touch of classic bridal elegance.
I'm lucky that I get to play with some of the best veils and headpieces out there. Being a flagship for Sara Gabriel means I have the whole collection at my disposal the whole time, and we've created some awesome things for super special girls. In traditional Michael fashion, here's the story of two on my favorite custom veil projects and how they created their own totally unique looks.
Jenna is drop dead gorgeous. No, seriously, stunningly beautiful, a total sweetheart, and any girl who rocks a huge Louis bag and Blaniks when she casually strolls in on a Saturday... that's my kinda girl! Jenna is also super creative, she does gorgeous invitations and stationary at Watermark in Lowry, and she even altered and used her grandmother's wedding dress for her big day!!! Working with a fellow artist is always fun because you get to collaborate, and between Jenna, her mom, myself, and Sara G, I can't think of a more perfect veil to go with the whole look. We started with a tear-drop shaped hat from Stephanie James, removed the bow and original netting, flipped the design, added a Emily veil, switched it out to French Net, added a pouf of net a la Louise, a pearl and rhinestone center, and tons of coque and ostrich feathers combined. Building something that custom certainly isn't for the faint of heart (or the imagination) but when it all came together, none of us could imagine anything more fitting.
The Veil: custom hat/birdcage/pin/feathers
The Look: Vintage couture all the way!
Haley just makes me smile. What a cutie, what a laugh, she reminds me of what weddings are all about! I first met her when she came in for a bridal appointment and we found her dress, a layered Vera Wang in Organza with horizontal beading running under each layer of the skirt. It's a gorgeous traditional gown, and Haley looks like the picture perfect cake topper! When we did our accessories appointment, we wanted to add a little spice to the sweet, so we played with short veils. The Marilyn gave us exactly what we were looking for: a big, fun pouf of tulle that reminded us of an oversized flower. We then decided to use one of Sara's flower combs for the center, complete with a delicate pearl heart and just a little pop of coque feathers. Finally (and this is my favorite) we were able to incorporate a tiny bit of trim from her mother-in-law's gown... including this trim is a family tradition and all the girls in the family have used it. We looped a piece and tucked it into the flower so that it peeks out just over the petals. So sweet!
The Veil: Marilyn/Katrina flower/Family Heirloom trim
The Look: Youthful tradition with a twist.

From September 2018 through August 2019, SFAI will bring together 70 artists, creative practitioners, content experts, and innovative thinkers from all over the world to explore how uncovering and acknowledging the truth can be used as a means of reconciliation.
SFAI believes that the process of truth-seeking and reconciliation are deeply creative acts that can bring individuals, communities, and nations together and heal our divisions to build a better world. In the open call for applications for the Truth & Reconciliation Thematic Residency, we seek creative projects, conversations, and processes by which the investigation of truth and steps toward meaningful reconciliation can occur. We also seek to broaden the residency experience and increase collective knowledge by bringing together in community at SFAI artists from all disciplines alongside other innovators in disciplines such as architecture, planning, policy, education, science, health, law, and activism.
Through our Truth & Reconciliation Theme, we ask:
–How can artistic expression help to counter the often dehumanizing effects of our intensifying societal polarization by confronting misleading or deceptive rhetoric with truthfulness and compassion?
–How can a creative and humane investigation of truth among individuals, communities, and nations engender desire for healing, reconciliation, and how can new narratives respond to traumatic events and culturally sanctioned injustices?
–How can art and community action bring into view a more comprehensive and critical understanding of truth amidst the proliferation of online, and often unchecked, communication platforms and algorithmic manipulation of information streams?
SFAI believes truth in service of reconciliation can be a powerful way to better understand the histories of colonization, imperialism, global capitalism, and racism, and can help to heal the personal, cultural, and national traumas enmeshed in these histories.
In the global context, perhaps the most familiar example of Truth and Reconciliation is South Africa's process of healing after generations of apartheid. Other international examples include Canada's process to reconcile with the generational trauma caused by the residential school system for Aboriginal children, and the work of international courts to address the crimes of brutal regimes in places like Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Columbia, Peru, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Congo, Sierra Leone, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Fiji, and East Timor.
At the national level, the United States government has engaged in outright genocide and oppression of various non-European cultures beginning with the enslavement of African peoples and forced resettlement and assimilation policies toward Native Americans. The United States has not initiated a national level Truth & Reconciliation commission; however, there are regional, community initiated commissions such as the Greensboro, North Carolina process to "constructively engage the confusion, division and bitter feelings" that the Greensboro Massacre of 1979 engendered in the community. More recently, in 2016, the Kellogg Foundation launched "Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation," a national process that will engage 14 select communities across the country to address the historic and contemporary effects of racism and "jettison the deeply held, and often unconscious, beliefs created by racism."
In Santa Fe, throughout New Mexico, and in the greater Southwest region there have been several waves of colonization of indigenous lands and peoples by other nations including Spain, Mexico, and the United States. There are many sides to this complex history, which is further complicated by laws, policies, monuments, and sanctioned traditions that have served to frame particular narratives and allocate power and resources in ways which further divide people and communities.
Memorials, museums, news media, technology, and social media all play a significant role in helping to construct or reinforce our community narratives as they all have the potential to either reveal or obstruct the truth, to bring together or to further divide individuals and communities. Through the 2018-19 theme, we ask SFAI residents to lead the way to honoring the truth and reconciling for the future through their creativity, courage, and artistic expression.
Now in it's fifth year, SFAI's international thematic residency program is a truly unique opportunity, and Truth & Reconciliation will be the second thematic year that we proudly offer this program free of charge to all awarded applicants.
To assist in this year's selection process, we have assembled an incredible team of esteemed professionals in the arts, culture, history, radical pedagogy and creative activism. Learn more about them below.

With "Equal Justice" in Fall of 2017, we awarded residencies to artists and creatives of all disciplines, free of charge to them. With "Truth & Reconciliation," we will do the same, and we need your help to do so!
Our initiative to sponsor residency fees is a direct response to a global rise in intolerance and division. We know you believe in the power of creativity, and we need your support to re-imagine a more equitable world.
Today is the day to show your commitment to creativity & social justice! Sponsor an artist and support this critical work here.

I took Tali to the kiosk on Rothschild for the first time on Sunday morning.
Bringing a new girlie to the kiosk is no less of an ordeal or a statement than introducing her to your mother (not least because wake-up coffee is the clearest indication that you are no longer sleeping only with your dogs).
Avi "Borsa" (so-called because of his preoccupation with the stock market), who rarely descends from his stool once parked on it, made an immediate point of coming over to take a good look. Indeed, I was half expecting him, like an inquisitive child in Madame Tussauds, to reach out and touch Tali's nose.
Anyway, by the following morning, when I was at the kiosk on my own, the news was clearly out – it was official: (to those not already cognisant of my formidable record with the ladies) I was definitely not now gay, celibate, or just incapable of pulling.
Dalia, a fifty-something mother of two, was disappointed, even frustrated, to have missed Tali the previous day (having departed her perch slightly earlier than usual). Avi, however, had already updated her.
"So, who is she?" Dalia enquired, before my bottom had even hit the stool.
"Just a girl," I replied nonchalantly.
"She's nice," Avi interjected, and then repeated, providing the affirmation he believed I must have been waiting for.
"Thank you, Avi," I replied, playing along as genuinely grateful to have received the green light to continue the relationship.
"Take her to a nice restaurant," Dalia instructed. "To Pronto," she immediately followed up, as if I was not capable, on my own, of identifying a nice restaurant.
Omitting to mention that Tali's mother had invited us – and with an unjustified, therefore, air of self-satisfaction – I informed Dalia that we had already been to Idi, a classy fish restaurant in Ashdod. Dalia gave Avi a look as if to say: "You see. I told you. He is not such a clueless twerp after all."
Having passed (even if by cheating) that test, Dalia moved onto her next piece of advice. "Take her away somewhere nice for the weekend." Avi, 49 and single – though, on this showing, clearly not because he knows not the ways to woo a lady – nodded enthusiastically. I ignored them both.
"How long are you going to wait?" Dalia – on a now inexorable roll, and only just moving into fifth gear – continued, "Ilan and I got married after two and a half months."
"We are just getting to know each other, Dalia!"
She rolled her eyes. My mother would love Dalia for all of this.
"Anyway," I said, "I am too young to rush into anything." Dalia doesn't get my humour (or attempts thereat).
But how does an Englishman deal with such unbridled directness and complete lack of boundaries? Dalia and Avi are, after all, kiosk friends and no more.
The kiosk, however, is not unlike the kibbutz chadar ochel (dining room) – it is as if, by merely sitting there, one waives one's right to a private life.
Perhaps, however, I waived that simply by making aliyah. Indeed, the Diaspora Jew's guiding principle – "Don't get involved" – could not be more alien to the Israeli. In fact, he likes nothing more: from advice on dating, to my current weight, my taste in clothes, to how I might better train the dogs (see Who the f*ck asked you?!)
The flip side, of course, of all of this is echpatiyut, Hebrew for caring. In England, no one gives a f*ck, often even about those close to them (never mind virtual strangers).
Anyway, perhaps it is it just that Dalia believes that a guy like me is not going to take the plunge without a little (or, in her case, not so little) push . . . and that it is her duty to inform me that, at 42, I must take whatever I can get.
I saw Dalia again yesterday morning, when even the seemingly imperative question of where I pick up my gas mask could not distract her.
"You have to take Tali to meet your mother," she reopened the issue.
After all this, my mum is going to be a walk in the park.

LINDEN—Officers cited 225 drivers on Linden roads for lead-foot actions last month, according to police.
The citations during the "Obey the Signs or Pay the Fines" campaign for the month of July brought the total number of summons issued to 444, said Linden Police Traffic Bureau Sgt. Michael Babulski.
During the period from July 1 to 31, officers also issued 37 careless driving citations, 23 seat belt law violation citations, 146 other traffic violation citations and arrested 13 persons for DWI, Babulski said.
The "Obey the Signs or Pay the Fines" campaign is the part of the "120 Days of Summer "campaign which cracks down on traffic violations during the summer. The City of Linden received a $4,000 grant from the NJ Division of Traffic Highway Safety for overtime speed enforcement.
Babulski said Linden Police will continue to have increase patrols looking for speeding violations which will continue throughout the year. Two people have died in traffic-related incidents in Linden this year where speed was a contributing factor, he said.

Military action against Iran would be a "very serious mistake fraught with unpredictable consequences", Russia's foreign minister has warned.
Sergei Lavrov said diplomacy, not missile strikes, was the only way to solve the Iranian nuclear problem.
His comments come after Israeli President Shimon Peres said an attack on Iran was becoming more likely.
The UN's atomic watchdog is expected to say this week that Iran is secretly developing a nuclear arms capability.

Every day that we wake up, each of us faces a world filled with the clutter of bad news, difficult relationships, and unwelcome surprises.

Six-year-old rape victim 'out of danger' as police detain 22 suspects
The six-year-old girl who was found naked and critically injured in a public toilet at south-east Delhi's Badarpur on Friday, underwent a major three-hour long operation by a team of specialists at the AIIMS trauma centre on Saturday.
Twenty-two suspects with past criminal records have reportedly been detained in connection with the attack.
Ajay Chaudhary, a commissioner of police, confirmed: "We have rounded up 22 suspects. They are alcoholics and drug addicts, who have some past criminal record. All of them are being questioned. Soon we will identify the culprit and he will be arrested."
Police were deployed at Mehrauli-Badarpur road in anticipation of protests over the rape
Police have also found a bunch of hair, supposedly from the perpetrators, at the scene. The hair samples have been sent for examination.
While surgeons described the girl's condition as being 'out of danger' for now, they said she was at great risk of contracting infections later on.
"The girl was brought to us in an extremely bad state. Her throat was slit at two places to the extent that her wind-pipe was clearly visible. She suffered complex wounds inside her body. Her anal canal was completely ruptured," Dr Biplab Mishra said.
While the test reports of sample swabs taken of the victim were not available till late evening, the doctors said that the case could confidentially be described as one of 'sexual assault'.
Her health is being constantly monitored.
In another incident, two women, aged 40 and 22, were gang-raped by three unidentified persons at gun-point inside a car in the Sohna area of Gurgaon on Friday night. Medical examination of the victims has confirmed rape.

It has been five years since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 hit theaters in 2011, and now fans of the fantasy cult, wizard-themed franchise are ready to dive back to the wizarding world and get a dose of another magical fix.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, directed by David Yates, debuted a brand new trailer last Wednesday morning, and it promises to mesmerize fans with its display of continued mysticism and magic . This action-packed trailer has everything – jaw-dropping magical sequences, fantastic beasts and magical names and curses that are all too familiar to Harry Potter fans.

The Ministry of Magic may have destroyed all the Time-Turners, but us Muggles (or No-Maj, as Americans like to call non-magical folks) will be taken back to New York in 1926, where the movie takes place. The Harry Potter spin-off will follow the adventures of Newt Scamander, the magizoologist who devoted his life to studying the fantastic beasts of the world and eventually wrote the eponymous wizard encyclopedia, based on his findings.
Eddie Redmayne plays the lead character Newt Scamander who is collecting specimens of magical creatures and storing them in his Extension Charmed suitcase. Based on the trailer, the British magizoologist visits the US Magical Congress and there someone Alohomora'd his magical case full of dangerous beasts, its contents escaping into the streets of New York.

The American Magical Congress along with the sinister US Director of Magical Security, Percival Graves (Colin Farrell) subsequently pursue Newt as his collection of dangerous creatures and their habitats roam the metropolis.
Newt then must track down those specimens along with Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), a No-Maj, Porpentina Goldenstein (Katherine Waterston), an American Magical Congress employee and her sister Queenie Goldenstein (Alison Sudol), a legilimens as Newt's error drives a deeper wedge between the city's magical and non-magical communities to the point where a grand battle may happen.
Warner Brothers recently announced that work on a darker installment to the David Yates-directed movie is already under way with tentative release dates for the second and third sequels in a Fantastic Beasts film trilogy having already been claimed by the studio.
The first installment in the Harry Potter spin-off is out on November 18 and will be JK Rowling's screenwriting debut.

I have not celebrated Christmas (or Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.) for the past four years.
Many years before I finally decided to officially stop celebrating, I only did so begrudgingly. I have not liked holidays for years and when I met my husband, he confessed he also hated them and we decided together we would stop doing something we despised and we cancelled all holidays in our house. Except for halloween, because we love any excuse to dress up.
My hatred of holidays started many years ago, when I was a teenager. Like most children of divorce, I felt torn on the holidays, like I should be with both sides of my family and feeling guilty about wherever I was. My mom was supportive and understanding, but I still felt bad when I left her and was not celebrating the entire day with her. I remember thinking, "I really don't want to do any of this." I wished I could stay home with my mom and not have to be faced with guilt ridden decisions.
As an adult, I relish the independence and try to be mindful not to re-create painful childhood patterns. I felt I could put those guilt ridden feelings associated with holidays in my past, however they manifested themselves in other ways.
I started to feel there was so much obligation associated with holidays. I felt obliged to buy more and more for people. I begin to see how much of the holidays were driven by consumption, greed and waste. I felt overwhelmed by whatever the newest trends where and what I had to get people. I now realize how much of this is fueled by capitalistic greed driven by corporations and the push to buy more and more things that are not necessary and harmful to our planet in their creation.
I also begin to see how bad the holidays could make people feel about their situations. I work as a high school counselor, and I begin to hear from some of my students how difficult this time is for them. I think the expectation of the season can make others who are not able to meet those expectations feel bad about themselves and their families. I remember thinking after talking to some kids "why do we even do this?!" Many families do not have the means to buy extravagant presents or have a gathering, I feel awful that the expectation of what you are supposed to do has made them feel bad.
Being a vegan has also made the holidays less enjoyable. I will spare you all a rant, but will say amount of animals raised and killed to be served on a platter this season makes so incredibly sad. I hate that Thanksgiving, an alleged day of gratitude, is based around the slaughter of thousands of turkeys per year. There was a time when I would I would make all my own vegan food and bring it with me to each function, but it was still difficult to be celebrating a day that was based on the meaningless murder of animals.
With all my grinchiness laid in front of you, I will admit that I know the holidays are not defined this way for everyone. I know some people do an incredible job to frame those days in gratitude, giving and love. However, I have found it hard to do for myself and have found so much relief in not taking part in any of the madness.
I am fortunate enough to have time off for the holidays (one week at Thanksgiving, two weeks for Christmas) and I use it to the fullest advantage. I generally travel during this time. In the past four years, I have spent Christmas week in New York, hiking up and down The Grand Canyon, exploring Mexico and soaking in the beauty of Colorado.
I think the picture below sums it up well. My sister is the one on Santa's lap crying and I am the one in the pink, mad about being forced to participate in the nonsense.
Happy Holidays to you, if you celebrate and cheers to you if you don't!
In love and grinchiness,
"I want to be a dentist!" Herbie the Elf
Since I can remember, I've always loved Christmas. As a young gay, it was everything my heart desired real life to be: tinsel, sparkling lights, ginger bread houses and Rudolf. As a child I never understood – and sometimes I still don't get – real life. When I was in school it was always more of a burden rather than a delight; whether I was in elementary, junior high, or high school, I never really felt that I fit in.
When Christmas vacation came around, I fully lost myself in the holiday; relishing in the extra time off, the pretty decorations, relatives and toys.
One of my favorite Christmas cartoons of all time was and still is: Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. When I was younger, there was something about that show which spoke to my subconscious. I always related to Herbie and Rudolf's journey into self discovery; a journey which ultimitly leads them to the Island of Misfit Toys.
When they arrive on the island and we find out its inhabitants are a bunch of irregular toys, something inside of me wished I could go there, stay and never leave. On those cold January mornings, on the first day back to school after the Christmas holiday, I'd often dream about the island as I sat in back of the bus waiting for the inevitable to begin.
When I watch the cartoon today, I realize things really haven't changed much. One of the main reasons for starting Spiritual Bahana was to exercise the creative spirit; when real life becomes too much and I've exhausted the Lord's ear in prayer, I need another form of escape. That's why I still relate to it some thirty years later. This time around, I find that my spiritual sister Angelina has joined me as well.
I dedicate this next song to all our sisters this Christmas who are struggling this holiday just to "fit in."
