From the Federation of American Scientists' "Secrecy News" e-newsletter:
IMPLEMENTING DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCEUpon lawful request and for a thousand dollars, Comcast, one of thenation's leading telecommunications companies, will intercept itscustomers' communications under the Foreign Intelligence SurveillanceAct.The cost for performing any FISA surveillance "requiring deployment ofan intercept device" is $1,000.00 for the "initial start-up fee(including the first month of intercept service)," according to a newlydisclosed Comcast Handbook for Law Enforcement.Thereafter, the surveillance fee goes down to "$750.00 per month foreach subsequent month in which the original [FISA] order or anyextensions of the original order are active."With respect to surveillance policy, the Comcast manual hews closely tothe letter of the law, as one would hope and expect."If your [FISA intercept] request pertains to individuals outside theU.S., please be sure you have complied with all the requirements in 50U.S.C. sections 105A and/or 105B," the manual says, referring toprovisions of the Protect America Act that was enacted last month. "Requests such as these can not be honored after one year and must bedated prior to February 5, 2008, unless extended by Congress."Comcast will also comply with disclosure demands presented in the formof National Security Letters. However, the manual says, "Attentionmust be paid to the various court proceedings in which the legal statusof such requests is at issue."In short, "Comcast will assist law enforcement agencies in theirinvestigations while protecting subscriber privacy as required by lawand applicable privacy policies."At the same time, "Comcast reserves the right to respond or object to,or seek clarification of, any legal requests and treat legal requestsfor subscriber information in any manner consistent with applicablelaw."
A copy of the manual was obtained by Secrecy News.See "Comcast Cable Law Enforcement Handbook," September 2007: http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/docs/handbook.pdf'
The role of telecommunications companies in intelligence surveillanceis under increased scrutiny as the Bush Administration seeks to shieldthe companies from any liability associated with their cooperation inwhat may be illegal warrantless surveillance.
Also, there are new indications that the unauthorized warrantlesssurveillance program pre-dated 9/11. The Rocky Mountain News, theWashington Post, and others reported allegations that the governmentmay have penalized Qwest Communications for refusing to participate ina pre-9/11 National Security Agency surveillance program that thecompany believed might be illegal. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/12/AR2007101202485.html
The Washington Post editorialized yesterday that the telecommunicationscompanies should indeed be immunized against liability, as the Bush Administration desires. Even though it is not known exactly what thecompanies did, the Post said, they "seem to us to have been acting aspatriotic corporate citizens in a difficult and uncharted environment."http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/13/AR2007101301069.html
Writing in Salon.com, Glenn Greenwald disputed that view, arguing thatpatriotism lies in compliance with the law, not in mere obedience toexecutive authority.http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/10/14/rule_of_law/index.html

Swiss Rudimental Drumming Lessons and Workshops
Swiss rudimental drumming is a truly unique art form within the world of snare drumming. This style, specifically from Basel, combines extreme dynamic contrast with intricate flam rudiments and rolls. The development of precise, yet flexible, technique is required to execute compositions in a proficient and authentic way.
I have been studying Basel Drumming for many years and the effect it has had on my playing has been overwhelmingly positive. For this reason I am excited to share my knowledge and experience of this music and it's execution in workshops or one to one lessons.
Due to the technically challenging nature of this music it is advised that participant in the workshops and lessons have a firm grasp of basic rudimental playing and are comfortable with: Flam 5, 7 and 9 stroke rolls; Inverted flam-taps and flam accents; Pataflaflas and ruffs. (If you are someone who would like to learn this style of drumming but doesn't have much experience with rudimental playing have a look at the Tuition section of this website for the details of my standard one to one lessons.)
The topics covered in the workshops will include:
- Reading and understanding the unique notation - Basel drumming notation can be difficult to decipher to the untrained eye. Becoming comfortable with the notation is an important step.
- Rudiment breakdown - Taking the key rudiments which make up Basel drumming and looking into the style and technique for their proper execution.
- Repertoire - The aim for the end of the session is to play a composition as a group, in unison. This piece will be provided as a hand out as well as 2 other pieces of varying difficulty to be taken away.
- Drum Kit applications - My approach to applying this style of rudimental drumming to the drum kit.
What you will need to bring
Each person participating in the workshop should bring sticks, practice pad + stand and a music stand (if possible).
Small group (2-20 participants) - £50 per hour
One to One Lessons
Lessons on a one to one basis provide to opportunity to focus on specific aspects of this style of playing in greater detail. They will include: Reading and understanding the notation; Warm-up and in lesson rudiment practice; in depth technique tuition; my own personal practice approach and a wide range of repertoire.
To get the most out of each lesson a 2 hour session is recommended.
1 hour lesson - £45
2 hour lesson - £80

WC update
Wilson Palacios and Heurelho Gomes complete the group stages of the World Cup today with Honduras and Brazil.
Wilson Palacios and Heurelho Gomes complete the group stages of the World Cup today with Honduras and Brazil.
Our all-action midfielder Wilson - who could yet play with his brothers Jerry and Johnny and therefore create World Cup history - will line-up for Honduras against Switzerland in Bloemfontein in Group H.
Honduras are clinging onto hopes that they can still progress but it would mean Chile having to beat Spain and Honduras racking up a good win against Switzerland. Spain face Chile in Pretoria, both matches kick-off at 7.30pm.
Honduras have lost against Spain and Chile so far and coach Reinaldo Rueda said: "What has happened is rather sad. We have never lost two matches like this before. We have been unable to showcase our skills.
"I want the players to show that just being in the tournament is not enough. There are huge expectations in Honduras. This is a matter of honour and we have a chance to restore our dignity."
Heurelho Gomes is likely to be on the bench again as Brazil face Portugal in Durban this afternoon.
Brazil are already into the knockout stage and Portugal should join them - it would take a heavy defeat and for Ivory Coast to run up a big win against North Korea for that to change.
Meanwhile, Sebastien Bassong didn't get the point he and Cameroon craved as they bowed out of the tournament with a 2-1 defeat against Holland.
Indeed, Seb predicted some changes and he was on the bench in Cape Town. Benoit Assou-Ekotto started and created a good chance for Jean Makoun, who headed over.
Robin van Persie opened the scoring in the first half, Samuel Eto'o levelled from the spot just after the hour and Klaas Jan Huntelaar won it for the Dutch with eight minutes left.
We've pictures of Benoit in action last night at the top of the page...

Don't take Andrew seriously, says Portia
Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller yesterday said that her opposite number, Andrew Holness, should not be taken seriously when he speaks, arguing that he is a part of an Opposition which will find it hard to give credit to the Government for the administration of the country's affairs.
"Don't take what he is saying now seriously. This Opposition has a way of ... there is nothing that the Government does, no matter how good it is, that will ever be good," Simpson Miller said yesterday.
Her comment came shortly after Holness told journalists outside of Gordon House that the Throne Speech, delivered by Governor General Sir Patrick Allen, only painted a glossy picture, but offered no hope to Jamaicans.
"When you look deeper at this, you realise that there are several things absent. There is absolutely no mention of the big projects. What about Goat Island, what about logistics hub?" Holness questioned.
He said that the Throne Speech had no mention of growth, and argued that Jamaicans must "reconcile all that is being said here gloriously on paper, versus what is their experience in everyday life".
"If Jamaicans are honest with themselves, they can't say that their lives have changed meaningfully within the last three to four years," Holness said.

1. Prosecco Brut I Duecento
Great value Prosecco, fresh, gentle with touch of green apples on the nose. Now in a new, more robust bottle. A great, and great-value, party wine.
Araldica is the trading name of the successful co-operative at Castelvero in Italy's northwestern Piedmont region. It is one of the most important producers of Barbera d'Asti and Barbera d'Alba, and also makes excellent Gavi, Moscato and Prosecco. Founded in 1954 by a small group of growers, headed by their parish priest, the co-op has evolved greatly from its simple origins and now it owns the largest winery in Piedmont.
It currently has around 200 members, cultivating 900 hectares of vines throughout the region, but in particular its vineyards in the Monferrato hills are celebrated for the quality of their barbera. As the business expanded in the latter half of the 20th century, the company also acquired a modern, temperature-controlled bottling plant and warehouse, with a large capacity to store its barrels made from the region's traditionally favoured Slovenian oak.
While Italy is generally known for its sun-baked vineyards, Piedmont is actually as far north as Bordeaux, and the nearby Alps make a marked impact on the temperatures which are much more in line with classic French regions. The hot summers are followed by very cold, often snowy winters, and the melting snow is an excellent marker of vineyard quality: the best vineyards have the fastest-melting snow because they receive the most sunshine.
2. Three Choirs Midsummer Hill 2014
A crisp, dry blend (of 40% madeleine angevine, 20% reichensteiner, 20% seyval and 20% phoenix grapes) from Gloucestershire exclusive to The Society. It has a great spice and pear perfume, with baked-apple notes on the palate. A fine match for chicken and fish dishes or an ideal aperitif.
Three Choirs Vineyards Ltd Situated in the English countryside where the three counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire converge, Three Choirs has become one of England's most significant producers. As well as being the second largest wine estate in the country with around 100 acres under vine, Three Choirs is also one of the oldest, having pioneered the English wine movement in the 1970s when the industry was still in its infancy.
Award-winning winemaker Martin Fowke has closely studied the techniques of New World producers such as those in New Zealand, working in cooler climate areas and has successfully tailored the winemaking processes to the prevailing English climate. The gentle undulating south-facing slopes here lie within a special microclimate, sheltered by the Malverns and the Brecon Beacons. The conditions are ideal for ripening the grapes, which are kept cool and clean by the breezes coming up the valley from the River Severn. A variety of well-suited grape varieties including pinot noir is planted and each year, red, white and rosé styles are produced along with sparkling whites.
Martin has recently started projects with boutique wineries around the world to bottle small amounts of their wines as well as brewing speciality beers and producing a range of ciders. He also makes wines for thirty other vineyards in England and Wales at the modern on-site winery. These ongoing enterprises, as well as the visitors' facilities attracting tourists from around the world to this rural setting, look set to keep Three Choirs firmly at the top of its game.
3. Chateau Bauduc Sauvignon Blanc 2014
Crisp, dry white from our vines surrounding the Chateau. Ramsay label only now. £9.95 a bottle.
The back label: 'This crisp, zingy dry white, made exclusively from the 28 acres of Sauvignon Blanc vines that surround the chateau, has been the house wine for Gordon Ramsay and Rick Stein for more than a decade.
Wine of the Week, JancisRobinson.com 26 February 2016: 'a welcome change from the Loire model of piercing citrus and slate, relying instead on ripe yellow fruit flavour and viscous mouthfeel.' Richard Hemming MW.
2014 turned out to be a very good vintage and we harvested the grapes for this wine in lovely weather in mid to late September. Crisp, dry and zingy, this is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from our vines surrounding the chateau. 12% alc/volume, Chateau-bottled, Stelvin+ screwcap. Best from Spring 2015 through 2017.
There are only two restaurants in London with three Michelin stars, and this is the house wine at one of them. We're really proud to have been the house white at Ramsay's for, crikey, fifteen years now.
4. Three Choirs Rosé 2014
Produced from phoenix, reichensteiner, and rondo grapes, this delightful English pink has ripe cherry and raspberry aromas with a crisp palate of red-berry fruits.
5. Chateau Bauduc Rose 2014
Delicious pale, dry rosé with Rick Stein's signature label, as served in his restaurants. £9.95 a bottle in cases of 6.
The back label: 'This Provencal style of rosé was made from 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc. The grapes were harvested earlier than for red, and the juice quickly run off the skins for a pale, dry wine.'
In a dry, ripe Bordeaux vintage like 2015, rosé can be a challenge. If the rosé is a by-product of making red, when you run off some juice from freshly-crushed, powerful red grapes, the resulting pink wine can be deeply coloured, heavy and fairly alcoholic - especially when made mainly with Merlot. The 2015 Bauduc rosé has 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc, harvested earlier than for making red wine to keep the fruit, acidity and the alcohol in check (it's 12% abv - far lower than most 2015 reds), with 20% Merlot for the roundness and texture.
Pale, a very pretty pink, fruity and dry, the 2015 has just been selected as the 'front page' rosé for Rick Stein's restaurants once again. Rick, who visited the vineyard during the harvest, takes a quarter of this limited production wine.
6. Jean-Paul Brun, Terres Dorées Beaujolais L'Ancien 2014
From limestone and clay soils in the south of the region, this is a rich and ample gamay with a deep, resonant flavour. Made using Burgundian cellar techniques, it tastes quite pinot-like with a little bottle age.
Jean-Paul Brun is undoubtedly the best-known producer in the south of Beaujolais. This is the so-called Pays des Pierres Dorées, named after the golden coloured limestone, much quarried for building material. Jean-Paul is based in Charnay, a village just north of Lyon.
Viticulture is important here although it shares the hillsides with other forms of agriculture. Most of the wines are simple and sold as Beaujolais Nouveau, but Jean-Paul is the exception, and aims for a more complex, food-friendly style.
He started in 1977 with just four hectares, and now has 30, as well as 15 hectares of vineyard plots on the granite soils of some of the Beaujolais crus – Fleurie, Moulin à Vent, Morgon and Côte de Brouilly. The vineyard is in the process of conversion to biodynamic viticulture.
Particular specialities include his chardonnay, which accounts for eight hectares of his vines, as well as L'Ancien, a gamay made from old vines.
Jean Paul's winemaking is much more Burgundian and traditional than most of his neighbours, with wines fermenting in vats before ageing in cement or oak. He believes in minimal intervention, and chooses not to add industrial yeasts, which are often responsible for the 'bubblegum' style of some generic Beaujolais. Nor does he practise chaptalisation (adding sugar to the must to increase alcohol), which explains why alcohol levels are lower.
7. Sileni Estate Hawke's Bay Syrah 2013
Steve Smith MW describes the 2013 vintage as a 'vintage of a generation' in Hawke's Bay. This delicious syrah has plenty of fresh black-pepper and plum aromas, and complex leather, violets and cured meats develop on the palate. A very attractive concentrated and complex wine offering good value for money.
Those of you of a classical bent will already know that Sileni Estates in New Zealand is named for the Greek woodland spirits who were boon companions of Dionysus, the god of wine, and close relatives of satyrs and mountain nymphs.
Whether they ever capered and revelled in the area where Sileni Estates grow their grapes is a moot point, but the estate was certainly founded by a wine lover, Graeme Avery, a pharmaceutical scientist and publisher who, in partnership with financial director Chris Cowper and winemaker Grant Edmonds, established the estate in 1997.
Grant is chief winemaker and between his team and him there is experience of working in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Oregon, California and Australia. At their principal winery, a state-of-the -art facility near Hastings in Hawke's Bay, they have blend of high-tech and traditional equipment in balance to bring out the best in the grapes of this warm, dry region, New Zealand's oldest.
In addition to the Hawke's Bay facility, Sileni also have a winery in Marlborough on the South Island where they make benchmark sauvignon blanc and pinot noir.

Chapter 1
"Forty-two, get your head out of your ass and hustle! This isn't a walk on the beach with your girlfriend!" I hear my coach's words, but I can't seem to process them. My vision goes in and out of focus, and I stumble as I walk across the field.
"Adam, you alright?" My buddy Josh asks as he comes up to me. I must have nodded my head, because he pats me on the back a bit too hard before jogging away.
I take off my sauna of a helmet and feel the heat of the sun beat down on my face. The last thing I remember seeing is the world dip and sway before I fall over and black out.
"Payne! Payne, wake up!" Coach Evans grips my shoulder firmly and rattles me awake. I feel water run into my mouth and trickle down my throat. My head throbs with every small movement. I gradually peel my eyes open and squint at the bright sun.
"Dehydrated again, Adam. What did I tell you about getting liquids in your body, especially during practice?"
"Huh?" My eyes wander towards the source of the voice, only to find the athletic trainer hovering over me.
"Can you hear me?" She inquires a little louder than needed. The commotion around me makes my head feel like someone is ramming a sledgehammer into my skull repeatedly.
"Yes, I hear you." I mumble.
"You should be fine, but stay hydrated, Adam." She advises before carrying her fragile looking body off the field. I prop myself up on my elbow and take another sip of water, and cringe at the burning sensation it creates in my throat.
"Get him to the bench. As for the rest of you, hurry up and finish drills!" Coach Evans voice rings in my ears louder than his whistle. Two pairs of rough, meaty hands grab me by the shoulders and practically lift me up themselves. I hobble my way over to the bench, and plop myself down. I sit with my head in my hands until practice is over.
Later that night at the dinner table, an unsettling feeling sat in my stomach. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shake it.
"I got a call from the school nurse today. You passed out during practice?" My mother says calmly. She says it in such a tone that makes me hate her even more. I glance over at my father who sits across from me. I see the anger growing on his face and I immediately lower my gaze to my untouched plate of food.
"I was dehydrated." As I speak, the words taste sour in my mouth and they barely come out as a whisper. My father slams his fist down on the table violently, making my glass of water ripple, and I flinch.
"What have I told you COUNTLESS TIMES!?" My father barks. I could immediately tell what was coming. His words slur out and he wreaks of alcohol. I try to brace myself, but no amount of time could ever prepare me.
"I know you guys don't support my football career but-"
"There is no such thing as a football career!" He growls at my face, and I detect a slight hint of a mimicking tone. I hear his chair skid against the wood floor and fall back as he bolts up from his seat.
"Shut the hell up, Anna!" My mother rolls her eyes in annoyance, wonders over to the liquor cabinet, removes a red bottle, and proceeds upstairs. Moments later, a door slams and the sound of a TV blasting follows. My heart races uncontrollably.
"You are going to quit that stupid waste of time, got it kid?" My father gnarls through gritted teeth. I can tell he isn't in the mood to beat me tonight. I take that to my advantage as I stand up as well with clenched fists. I have suffered in silence for far too long, and it's time to speak up.
"Those are my dreams, dad. I'm not going to quit and you can't make me!" I immediately knew I had the wrong idea and regretted ever opening my mouth. My dad lunges at me, but luckily I'm faster. I knock my chair down in front of him in hopes to slow him down and dart upstairs. I hear the chair break behind me, but I don't stop to look back. I sprint into my room and lock the door behind me. I push my heavy dresser in front of it just as my dad starts pounding on the door. My hands shake and I back away, bumping into my bed.
"OPEN UP NOW!" He yells. The dresser starts to shake back and forth a bit, so I force my desk in front of the dresser as well. I make a quick decision and grab all the bags that I own out of my closet along with my suitcase. I fill them with essentials like clothes, my wallet, a half-eaten bag of chips from the other day, and whatever else fits. I sling the bags over my shoulder, slightly surprised at how light they are, and crack open my window. I chuck my bags out first, and then scale down half the side of my house, before jumping the rest of the way. I felt the grass underneath my bare feet just as the door broke two stories above me. I don't wait around to see what happens next. I grab everything and run aimlessly into the night.
Chapter 2
I end up standing in front of my girlfriend Courtney's house. I stop for a brief moment to catch my breath and recall her old tree house. Quietly tiptoeing to her backyard, I climb inside the tree house and set up a place to sleep with a blanket I brought, get a sweatshirt and use it as a pillow, and I layer up to face off the chilly night air. I try to get some sleep to have enough energy for the obstacles of tomorrow.
I woke up an hour earlier than I usually would so that I could be far enough away from Courtney when she woke up. I knew it was a risk to leave my belongings there, but I didn't have another option. I waited behind a bush, a little up the street from her house, until she opened the door to go to school.
"Hey Courtney!" I yell, popping out from behind the bushes. She looks my way and smiles warmly. I start to jog towards her, but I am forced to slow down when my ankle screams at me in pain. I must have twisted it last night when I leaped from my window.
"Hey, you!" She says softly as I approach her. I pull her into my arms and plant a small kiss on her rose tinted lips. As we make our way to school, I take her soft, gentle hand into my calloused one.
"So, how's my girl?" I ask her in an attempt to make small talk mostly for my own benefit.
"Great! I got first place in the tournament yesterday!" She explains excitedly.
"Congrats! I knew those practices would pay off." I smile and gently squeeze her hand affectionately. Courtney then start getting into depth about her gymnastics tournament. I listen attentively; I love the sound of her voice. "What about you? I heard you passed out during practice yesterday."
"Ah, I'm fine. Just got a little bit dehydrated, but I'm still alive."
"Adam," she sighs wearily. Her expression contorts into one like a mother about to lecture her child. "You need to take better care of yourself." Courtney stops and turns to me. She stares me down like my father had just a short 8 hours ago. I shiver with fear.
"I will, I promise." I pull Courtney closer and kiss her again. We walk for another 5 minutes, talking about nothing in particular, before we reach the school.
"OTP! OTP! OTP!" My friends stay chanting. Courtney laughs and I roll my eyes at this nonsense that happens every day. She kisses the top of my nose and then goes off with her own friends.
"Are your lives really that pathetic and boring?" I ask them. My friends stand there thinking, and stroking their imaginary beards.
"Yes." Josh says with finality.
"Basically." Matt adds.
I laugh a little and shake my head.
"Losers." I scoff. We all laugh as we start throwing insults at each other. It only stops when we see two textbooks sitting on our desks, and a huge collection of numbers written on the board.
"Read the board, follow the directions." Our teacher instructs, not even bothering to look up.
"This should be a fun day." I mumble. Josh and Matt chuckled as we took a seat as far back in the classroom as possible.
"I want to go home!" Courtney wines to me at lunch. I simply kiss her temple and sigh.
I feel like I'm wearing a mask. Everywhere I go, I have a fake smile. I try to hide my pain and fear, try not to look weak, but it's hard. I don't know what to do, or who to trust.
I don't want to burden Courtney, Josh, or Matt with my problems. They are the types who aren't good with tears or conflict.
All I can do; all I know how to do is wear my mask.
Chapter 3
After school, I couldn't follow Courtney home or go into her backyard. She would become suspicious. I reluctantly decided to try and go home.
My parents cars were absent in from the driveway, so I took the opportunity to sneak back inside. I pulled out my key and fit it into the lock. The door slowly creaked open, and I stepped into my house. I paused, listening for any movement. I grinned and closed the door when the hum of silence continues to surround me. My dogs came rushing to meet me.
"Hey guys! Did you miss me, huh? I bet you did, oh, yes you did."
"So did I..." A voice startles me from the other side of the room. I look up and see my mom standing there, her head hung low and her eyes peering up at me. I immediately turn around and open the door, ready to bolt out, when she talks. Her voice sounds desperate, and filled with pain.
"Adam," I don't turn to face her, even with her pleas. "Please wait. We need to talk, please." I inhale a sharp breath and hold it in my lungs. My feet slowly turn me around to face her general direction. I can't bring myself to meet her gaze.
"About what mom, last night? How I almost got beaten to a pulp again, by this man I am forced to call my father?"
"Adam, I'm sorry bu-"
"No! But nothing mom. It's your fault Danielle is in therapy right now! How did this occur to you mom, huh? You woke up one morning and decided to cheat on your amazing, loving, respectful, caring husband; the father of your children too. Is that what happened mom? Did you just say to yourself that a rich jerk was better than a middle class man. It's alright to just get a divorce and ruin your children's lives and Mary a jackass right?" I feel my heart being ripped to about a thousand pieces. I want to let the tears spill, but I can't allow myself to look week.
When she didn't answer I just got more aggravated.
"Answer me!" I shook the house and my mother flinched. She looked smaller; tears lined her eyes and shine on her cheeks.
"I didn't think like that, and I didn't know he was like that." Her voice barely escaped her lips at a whisper.
"Bull shit!" I finally looked up at her; I looked her straight in the eyes. "You knew damn well how he was! You were just so fixed on his money. You don't even care if he beats me, do you? You don't even care if I have countless bruises that I have to cover or make up excuses for them. Don't even try to say you care because you didn't care when Danielle was getting beat like that. You stood there and watched as her skull got crushed! You watched it like a tv show and then left when you got bored. Meanwhile, I was laying nearly unconscious on the other side of the room. Did you ever think of calling the cops that night? No because then you would have gotten caught too. They would have found your damn drugs. You went off to get drunk or high to forget the horrible things you did, to feel good about yourself! That's not how life works for all of us! No matter how high I get, or how drunk I am, those memories never go away. One day, I'll make him pay for what he did to her, mark my words." I looked away again, unable to handle the sorrow in her eyes.
I waited for a response, but when I got nothing I just walked out without even looking back. I slam the door behind me and stand in front of it with my eyes closed.
Every ounce of energy I have is keeping me from walking back in and apologizing.
The events keep playing in my mind as I try to make sense of it all. I jerk them back open when I hear the terrifying crunch of a car on gravel. My eyes dart over to the source of the noise to find my stepfather pulling in the driveway. I don't even hesitate before taking off through the grass. I just run with all I can.
"Adam!" I hear a raging voice that encourages me to somehow pick up my pace. I then hear a bone chilling sound; the car is in hot pursuit behind me.
I don't have time to ponder where I should go. I simply turn at random corners in attempts to lose him. Nothing seems to work. He drifts every corner I take and is still on my heels.
I hear him yelling profanities and other words at me, but I can't understand them. His voice is muffled from the roaring of the engine.
After about 3 minutes, my breath becomes too heavy for me to continue for much longer. I start to lose hope as my lungs slowly start to fail me.
Up ahead, I see a pole connected to a stop light. I don't have time to calculate whether my plan will work or not. I simply test it out.
Just as I approach the metal pole, I wrap my fingers as tightly around it and let the momentum of my body take over. I lift my feet just the slightest bit, and I am sent flying in the other direction.
With a hard smack on the pavement, and a little bit of skidding, I am at a full stop 5 meters away.
I recover as rapidly as I can and continue to jog. I take another turn and finally I have lost him. I slow down to a walk, attempting to repair my lungs and open up my airways once more.
Without even noticing, I ended up in Courtney's yard. I carefully tiptoe around to the back and dash to the tree.
About half way up the unsteady ladder, a familiar voice sounds out from behind me.
Chapter 4
I slowly lower myself back down the ladder and turn around to face her.
"Hey, Courtney! What are you doing here?" I ask her, forcing an unsteady laugh. I want to curl up and crawl into a hole for asking a dumb question like that.
"I'm the one who should be asking you that question. I live here." She didn't look angry, quite the opposite; Courtney looked extremely humored.
"Oh, right. Well I guess I'll be going then. Talk to you later!" I walked to her, kissed her on the cheek, and walked on past her to the street. I hear her try to ask me what I was doing there again but I act like I didn't hear her.
When I turned the corner, I doubled over in nervous laughter and relief. I kept walking and I didn't even notice that I had absentmindedly walked to my house.
As I looked up, my smile faded. All the joy I had felt just seconds ago had been washed away and replaced with fear.
I wanted to move - I wanted to get away before anything else could happen - but there was a compelling force that kept me in place.
I had flash backs from when I was four, the earliest age that I can recall the abuse. I blinked and all the flashbacks dissipated from my eyes, but the memories remained stained on my brain. I stood there like a dear in headlights, staring at my stepfather. He had appeared on the other side of the glass door. He slowly opened it and that's when a bell finally went off in my head.
I wasn't running, but I was speed walking this time. For some reason, the panic in mt had diminished. As i turned the corner, I glanced toward my house. To my surprise, Kurt was just standing there staring at me.
I can't make out the expression on his face from this far, but from his posture he looked kind of upset. His shoulders were slumped, and his head was hanging on his neck like it was attached by a tiny string. I know that our eyes met, and that was my breaking point. Rage rushed through my veins again, and any sympathy had been stored into a vault deep in my heart.
I tried not to make too much of it, but it bugged me all the way to Courtney's house.
I tried to make sense of all that had happened to be able to tell Courtney everything when I got back to her house.
Chapter 5
"Why didn't you tell me any of this? Adam, I could have helped you." I stared out the window of the tree house at the top floor of her house. "Adam, what else aren't you telling me?" Her voice penetrates my thoughts. Her house had reminded me of back when we first met.
"I didn't want to burden you with my nonsense. I promise there is nothing else that I'm hiding from you." It wasn't a full lie. I wasn't hiding my sister from her, I just haven't told her about her yet. "Besides," I continue. "When was I going to tell you? Between our crazy schedules we've barely seen each other for 2 minutes at a time." She makes her cute thinking face and looks down at the cracked floorboards. I look back out the window.
I remember that we met about 2 years ago, the summer I entered high school. It was exactly a month before the first day of school. My best friend, Jake, had just moved to the town next to us. He was too busy to do it himself, so he had asked me to get his phone charger from his old house. Of course, I hadn't checked up on it, so I had no idea it had been sold. He had told me years ago where he kept the spare key, and surprisingly I had still remembered. It was still in the exact same spot as before too, so I picked it up and unlocked the door. When I walked in I remember my heart stopping.
Standing in front of me was an exact replica of my dream girl. Dark blonde hair, vibrant green eyes, perfectly rounded face, rosy, chubby cheeks, and high cheek bones. Besides the fact that she held a raised kitchen knife tightly in her hand, she was perfect. She must have stood at around 5 feet and 6 inches, but her heels made her seem 5 feet and inches. It was a bonus that she had the body of a model.
"Who the hell are you and how did you just get into my house!" Her voice was also perfection and strange enough, her menacing words soothed me. I snapped out of my daze. I stuttered, trying to explain to her, but words couldn't form in my mouth. I got quiet when light footsteps came down the stairs in front of me.
"What's going on down here?" She said more soothingly. I nearly fell to the floor; the girl on the stairs was identical to the one with the kitchen knife. I assumed that it was her twin sister, and I couldn't control a stupid grin from appearing on my face.
They started bickering back and forth, arguing about every possible thing wrong and right about the scenario. I whipped my head back and forth trying to keep up with the rapid discussion. Finally, the yelling reached a point that I couldn't handle.
"Let me explain!" I bellowed over the both of them and they immediately got silent.
"Please do." They both said in unison, making it sound like only one of them had said it. I felt my face get hot, and I knew it was a bright shade of red.
"I-Well uh... I um... Okay." I still couldn't speak English so I paused and took a deep breath. "My best friend used to live here. He just moved out and asked me to come back here to get something. I knew where he kept the spare key, so I let myself in. I really am sorry, I didn't mean to trespass, intrude or any of that." I waited for their reactions, keeping my eyes on the kitchen knife that was still being held up by the first girl.
"Oh, well why didn't you say so! My name is Courtney, Courtney Pierce, and this is my sister Eleina." The girl on the stairs, who I now know is Courtney, explained. Eleina lowered the knife but she didn't let it go. She eyes me suspiciously and didn't accept when I offered her my hand.
"Welcome to the neighborhood." I told them, truing to be friendly.
I noticed very tiny differences between the two. Courtney had long, flowing hair and Eleina had shorter, curlier hair. Eleina had a fiery look in her eyes, but I could tell even by the way she walked that Courtney was the nice one. I took a small look around and spotted Jake's charger.
"Ah, there it is," I walked over and picked it up. "I guess I'll just be going now!" I make my way awkwardly back to the door and pull it open. "Thank you." I add and walk out, closing the door behind me. I left out the part 'for not carving me like a pumpkin' to stay true to it. I stood there trying to catch my breath again before I took one step forward and stopped. Hushed whispers where escaping through the cracks in the door.
"Good job Eleina, thanks so much for scaring away yet another cute boy!" It was followed by stomping up stairs and a loud sigh of frustration after a loud slam of a door. I walked away quickly to not get caught eavesdropping.
"I have an idea!" Courtney screams and holds her arms up in victory. I look back at her and laugh at the cute but silly, accomplished look on her face.
"About what exactly?"
"Tonight," She talks quietly and inches towards me with every word. "How about we go on a date. A typical, cliche, date with dinner and a movie. We are both free, we can talk, spend time together, and be on a date at the same time!" I look at her to see if she is messing with me. She has always hated anything cliche, but I can see the seriousness in her eyes.
"Okay. You know I wonder sometimes."
"Hmm? Wonder about what?" She asks, crawling into my open arms.
"How I got so lucky. How did I get to meet such a crazy girl who gets over-enthusiastic about everything. How did we fall in love?" She flashes me a cute smile.
"Fate." She replies and kisses me for a long time before we look out and watch the sun set.

Hey! So, quick disclaimer - all of this is obviously just suggestion. You're the author, so feel free to take/leave whatever you want. The most important thing, at the end of the day, is to enjoy writing. Fair warning - this critique may get a little brutal, but just remember that, despite everything I'm about to say, you've got a good base here. I'm just throwing my (at times, brutal) thoughts in a pot to let you know how I reckon you could improve. This is by no means a judgement on you or a slight on your writing abilities, I swear. If you start feeling offended, come back and read this, because I truly mean it.
Okies! Let's get this crit on the road! Red for grammatical & spelling mistakes and blue for continuity & writing suggestions!
OK. Overall, you need to:
- Dive into the "show, don't tell" mantra. Dig into your character and try to feel what they're feeling. Your best resource for this is your bodily sensations. Get inside your body and get familiar with how your body reacts to things. The best way to connect your audience with your character is through showing them how your character is doing, not just through their actions or words (although that's really important too), but through their involuntary reactions (i.e. When I get mad, I purse my lips, clench my jaw and fists and set my face like flint. My eyes flash, my face colours, I can feel my heartbeat racing and I start to press forward on my feet. I wouldn't list all of this, but I would say, perhaps: "Her lips pursed as her jaw set, eyes flashing fiercely." <-- This chick is MAD.)
- Stop using the passive tone constantly. It gets really, really frustrating and makes me want to throw things at your character's head. Please don't make your audience feel this way. Active voice needs to be used here a lot more than you're using it.
- Don't waste your words. Within a first-person narrative, every single word needs to help draw a portrait of the character that's telling the story. Don't throw them out there if they don't serve a purpose. Replace those words with ones that actively engage your readers by revealing your character.
- Check your comma usage & spelling.
- Know who you're writing about. It would probably be a good idea to get acquainted with true stories of abuse victims or, if you know a survivor of abuse who would be willing to talk with you about it, to ask a survivor of abuse for their story of their experiences within that sphere. You'll need to tread carefully here, though, so, for the sake of your mental health and the mental health of those around you, I recommend reading as much as you can.
- Kill the cliches. Please, please, please. Nothing is more painful to read, more of a turn-off or reveals your inexperience more than a piece of dialogue or an action that sounds like it has been lifted right out of a Sweet Valley High or HM&B book (or a terrible shoujo/school-romance manga). Please kill them or you'll end up killing your audience's love of your work. I'm not saying you can't use that situational humour - you just have to re-work it in a way that fits within a novel. For example:
We went to kiss, but then, we bumped our heads!
Should look more like:
I leaned in closer, closing my eyes. Oh, boy... here we go!
Looking back, I'm not sure now how it happened - whether she bobbed and I weaved or we were just moving too fast - but closing our eyes was definitely a rookie error. Stars burst behind my eyes as our heads collided.
See? It's not perfect (sorry), but everything there tells you something about how the character is feeling, was feeling and how they dealt with it (plus, bonus round - it tells you something about the character him/herself. They clearly have a sense of humour and can laugh at themselves.)
Anyway. Sorry for the brutality. I enjoyed reading this! I think you've got a good base here - it's just time to dig on in and get dirty with your characters. Maybe next time, post up one chapter at a time, is all.
Nice work! Let me know when the next bits are posted!

Hooked on crochet
Blankets and throws are the easiest as you get to learn new stitches and the tension isn't that important because you aren't wearing it size doesn't matter. I made one baby outfit which I found very difficult but got there in the end.
Crochet is much quicker which means I am more likely to finish a project. I generally do not like to make two of the one thing but with all the various wools available thanks to Lulu's stash I have been repeating bunnies.
I am working my way through the range of Wondersoft of which you can see marshmallow above. I also have two throws on the go as well and a Christmas cal.
Dollshouse Exhibition and craft fair for Kiwoko Hospital
Time for me to finish my own projects. I am never one for repeating projects as I get bored easily and need a challenge. However because the Wondersoft wool comes in a range of variegated colours I have enjoyed making bunny after bunny. As soon as I completed the candy rock one above I started a blue/yellow.
Lulu had shown a Christmas cal on her Facebook page that drew my attention.i have been wanting to do a corner to corner project and thought this would be ideal as approaching Christmas. Well even to have it complete for Christmas 2016! I love working on it and although generally C2C should be quick there are a lot of colour changes and I like to tidy threads as I go which slows it up. The squares are quite big so just on the decreasing part of the Santa one so far.
I have been having treatment for my hip so walks have been short but we still get to Mountstewart even if just for lunch.

No, not "rust free" - "free rust" this diesel cruiser comes with all the corrosion you could want. It's sort of a shame that the environments that these Land Cruisers excel in are the exact conditions that eat them alive. Even though this one is far beyond anything we could rescue, a 6K Land Cruiser with a diesel motor is enticing in any condition.
This Toyota is located just outside of Edmonton, Alberta which seems like a more than fitting location for this kind of vehicle. It has accumulated a bit over 80,000 miles, but based on the condition of the body and undercarriage, it looks like every one of those miles was hard earned.
The seller posted a "cold start" video and the 3 liter B motor sounds like it idles and revs as well as they ever do.
The rust is the star of the show here. All of the normal trouble spots are present along with a few new ones. Lots of field repairs have been performed on this cruiser and our uneducated guess is that you'd be better off sourcing a whole new aluminum tub and scrapping the current body.
The reason we recommend that, is that we think you're going to need to pull the body and do some extensive work on the frame to get this thing to be even reasonably roadworthy. Frame mounts look to have become unmounted in a few places and scaling is present everywhere.
The real question will be whether or not the frame can be salvaged. If it can, for a 6k purchase price there could still be some potential to put 15k into this truck and not be terribly underwater.
Ignoring the obvious issues, there are some interesting elements here that point to a truck that has and continues to serve its purpose.. A gigantic winch up front, OME shocks, and a heavy-duty homemade roof rack show a truck that has lived a life of usefulness.
Add to that the fact that the seller claims that this 42 "runs and drives with no noticeable issue" and that it has a newish looking muffler on it and we're thinking this cruiser needs to find a nice ranch to live on.
Some place where safety inspections and highway speeds aren't an issue would be an ideal home for this Land Cruiser to spend its retirement. At the current bidding we're thinking someone is just buying it for the motor but we'd love to see this become a farm truck that sits in a barn, gets to go crawl around through some trails every once and awhile and maybe helps to clear a tree or mend a fence.
Find this cheap diesel on eBay in Alberta, Canada.

I Saw You Trip Her
Percy: I think this is an intriguing title. How about you guys?
Micah: What about us guys? Is here a punch line or something?
Percy: You didn't wait for me to finish. The title I have in mind is "I Saw You Trip Her".
Rusty: I beg your pardon! You did not see me trip Jan! I would have more sense than to trip her in public.
Percy: I ...
Merci: I second that. I didn't trip her either. If I did, I'd be hurt worse than she would, no matter what story she tries to give you.
Cameron: Is Jan okay? She wasn't seriously hurt when you tripped her this time, was she, Marcus?
Marcus: I did not trip Jan! Not lately, anyway. And it's only her word against mine.
Buddy: I don't know about that. I see you constantly trying to trip her. How badly is she hurt now? We have 9-1-1 on speed dial. Should I call the paramedics?
Cyndi: I have been spending most of my time lately on top of the cooler on top of the fridge. It would be very hard for me to trip Jan from up there.
Sam: Being up high is no excuse, Cyndi. Remember, Cameron once gave Jan a black eye with the cooler on the fridge.
Percy: STOP!!!!! I did not say anyone tripped Jan. I asked if you think "I Saw You Trip Her" is an intriguing title.
Micah: Why would you ask about tripping if there wasn't any tripping?
Rusty: There must have been tripping or Percy wouldn't have accused us of it.
Buddy: I know. Percy tripped Jan and he's accusing us to cover his pawprints.
Percy: I did not trip Jan and I did not accuse any of you. I thought we could do a post on unusual keywords and "I saw you trip her" seemed about as strange as one could get, but that is what someone was searching for who visited our blog.
Sam: A keyword? You had us all fearing arrest over a search engine keyword?
Cyndi: I'm going back to the top of the fridge.
Percy: Hey, guys, do you want to give me a hand with this? *turns around from the computer* Well, I sure know how to empty a room!

Hey! Surprises never cease
And today, when I opened the newspaper I read that Mr. I-love-to-put-my-foot-in-mouth Nazri Aziz has fired a salvo at the Tun. Even calling the old coot a racist! Now that's very surprising indeed. Isn't it? Just read what Nazri said.
Nazri said: "You talk about patriotism, love for the country. Patriotism is for all Malaysians regardless of race. Therefore, the money spent on BTN to have courses must reflect the 1Malaysia slogan by the PM. It should not only be to raise patriotism among the Malays. Malaysia is for all races so I disagree with any syllabus which only concentrates on patriotism just on one community, I disagree. If they have a problem with that, I want to know what is their problem,"
Nazri questioned if Utusan Malaysia, which has been at the forefront of defending BTN courses, believes that Malaysia belongs only to the Malay community.
"Do they want to say that Malaysia belongs only to the Malays and the government is only a Malay government? Should only the Malays be given the spirit of patriotism? Other races are not patriotic about their country? So I want them to point out to me where is it that I've gone wrong If I disagree with the past syllabus," he added.
Nazri also questioned Utusan for deceiving Malaysians on BTN.
I apologise for not being able to credit the source of the above story because it was sent to me by a Niamah!!! reader. But you can read more about it here.
I have no idea of what Nazri's motives are for coming out so strongly about the BTN and reinforcing what many Malaysians are unhappy about recently. But whatever the man's reasons are today I will drink a toast to his health and continued wisdom. Way to go, Nazri!

Hey Pat, the fella only whacking uncle M becos he was being targeted by the old man to be kicked out out of the scene.
But for once, he's speaking wisely.

You want more surprises?
Here, read this:
Ku Li says "Scrap BTN!"

a racist talking cock about a racist talking more cock
- 3:03 pm
yeah he became wise only after the old man stepped on his tail. Still I agree with him that this country is not just for the malays it's for all communities. If they continue with such race divisive courses nobody can guarantee it will not lead to ethnic cleansing.

good cop bad cop?
Sorry i lived in Bolehland too long to see thru this shenanigans...
- 3:15 pm
At last this fler talk sense with regard to the BTN's modules.Even Razaleigh came out openly to denounce the programme that incite hatred and racist in nature.Mahathir got to rest his remaining days in tending to his grandchildren as he is getting more senile than before.His way of thinking is backward and racist like the old days when he wrote the book Malay dilemma.It would stir the volcano to erupt if Najib follows his method of reshaping the counting blindly.
- 3:34 pm
Did the Angel visited him yesterday nite ?
But somehow i just cant trust him.
- 3:39 pm
Patrick, my tears are rolling again.
Nazri, the forever springing surprises guy. One a racist, the other a hypocrite...which one better leh?
- 3:42 pm
Hello Patrick,
Recently, there have been many instances where issues were raced like BTN,education,proton etc. pitching the PM against the former PM.There is a 3rd party agenda?? Just smell a rat!
- 4:15 pm
Wow Nazri, great way to score points, yes BTN encourages patriotism amongs duh duh duh race only, cheers!
- 4:34 pm
- zakwan said...
Anybody can developed ballz 2 slam TDM
But 2 whacked the mouthpiece of UMNO n accusing them of havin a denial syndrome is indeed applaudable
So in a way,kudos 2 Nazri
But want 2 know what I think?
Nazri's tirade against Mamakthir is merely 2 distract attention from the PM of 1Malaysia's deafening silent on the whole BTN fiasco
- 4:36 pm
a bloody racist called another racist a bloody racist, niamah high!!!
- 5:52 pm
- amoker said...
Of course he speaks out. His boss, Najib is as silent as a mouse leaving him open for attack.
- 6:19 pm
lol, pinsysu said 'flash dat darned BTN down the toilet'
- 6:46 pm
A typical case of "The pot calling the kettle black", no?
Like you, l take my hats off to Nazri this time..... ehhh, why the elegant silence from Najib? To be an effectice PM, one must take the bulls by its horn, and say it like a man.... if something is not right in the country, say so lah...... don't do another Pak-Lah's-elegant-silence
- 6:49 pm
Don't be too sure.....the Nazri butthead will come out soon with a rebuttal that he has been mis-quoted.
Are we that stupid to believe the ever vengeful carTun Mamakthir will take this lying down? Even on his deathbed, the carTun will not die lying down.
- 6:57 pm
Maybe after all the brickbats he received from bloggers and commentors, he is wising up. We must all end racism in our beloved country Malaysia. Yes. Go Nazri Go!!!. I am gradually losing respect for TDM everytime he utter a racist remark.
- 7:49 pm
ini melayu cakap main wayang kulit.
mat salleh pula... sing and dance.

- 8:18 pm
Im not sure why but after the "revamp", we won't know the course's content and we will be silenced, instead we should do away with BTN as suggested by Kuli, the only good man in UMNO, to date.
- 8:54 pm
He's been 'butchered' by the rakyat for so long for playing the bad guy role that he's saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!. Now that he is the 'good guy' all be afraid be very afraid and it's harder still to swallow at face value all his rhetorics. However, with X'mas round the corner let's in the spirit of celebration be generous and give him credit on this 1, rightly or wrongly.
- 11:24 pm
kalau, jikalau the bolehland is only
for malays ah ? semua2 termasuked burung2 pun caput lo !!
- 1:13 am
Now the Umno-leaning blogs are whacking Nazri. Hey, what's going on here? Is there something going on that I'm not aware of? But one thing I do know, this old man is getting to be a pain in the you know where.
- 4:17 am
Hi Pat,
Could it b another "sandiwara" fr UMNO! But hats off to Nazri 4 sayin wat other BN ministers dare not say.
- 8:44 am
Yes he is speaking sense for once...
But I don't trust him. There's an ulterior motive.
And it clearly shows how politicians do not defend the rights of the people (Looking at the Malays who are making hoo haas out there), but themselves.
- 9:00 am
I read the Chinese Oriental Daily today. It was reported that Tun M said that we should grant citizenship to the Indons who have long stayed in Malaysia. He said Malaysia & Indonesia are actually abang-adik, it was the British rulers then that separated the people.
Niamah Tun M for getting his priority wrong. You should give credit to the Chinese and Indians in Malaysia who are not given citizenship. They have paid tax to enrich your coffers. As for the Indons, how many of them are highly trained professionals that can add valu to Bolehland?
Tun M has indeed nyanyuk and sheould be sent to Muzium Negara for rehabilitation!
- 10:37 am
TDM is doing a kamikaze to erase his legacy with those nonsense.
No surprise those younger generation will see him as an irrelevant old cock.
perhaps Marina Mahathir should wake his father up to reality.
- 10:39 am
former BTN director Datuk Johari Abdul has confirmed that Mahathir was teh one who made BTN a full-fledged racist indoctrination agency to sow racial hatred.

About time to witness Team A vs Team B in UMNO.
Way to go!
Nazri please dig up all the dirt of TDM!

Don't wast public fund on BTN!

Uncle Teoh.
I think you just wanted an excuse to drink. Remember a swallow does not a summer make.
- 11:41 am
I attended the BTN. Generally it is good. We were taught about the history of Tanah Melayu. Nowadays, Chinese and Indian dont like to know about Tanah Melayu, they know only Malaysia, as if Malaysia is plucked from the sky. They don't realise that Malaysia is made up of Tanah Melayu, Sabah and Sarawak.
- 2:06 pm
Mr Niamah,
I never thought I will pike my coffee. But there is always the fisrt time.
Oh it's not about this 'two-five-boy'.
You should read about what the 'saliva more than flam' fella from a 'apa nama party' ... Berakan?
That story is worth a 1000 Niamahs.
- 5:17 pm
Dr M full of paradoxs.
Age is catching up with hm.
He better keep his mouth shut otherwsise his senile n=mind very soon wipe away his deteriorating legacy !
- 5:42 pm
Nazri should 'lawan' Bapa Rasis.
Anyway what is the concept of 1Malaysia that TDM find not consistent with his BTN doctrine?
- 10:25 am
Prior to his retirement in 2003, the former premier, who ruled the nation for more than two decades, was heralded as the 'Father of Modernisation'.
Now he has been conferred with a new title 'BR' by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz.
'BR' = Bloody Racist or Bapa Rasis
- 10:37 am
Today's Utusan, Berita Harian, NST and The Star did not carry any report on Nazri-TDM's tit-for-tat.
ha ha ha...
At least we now know who is the 'Father of all racism'.
He is an ex-Pakistani who has been conning the Malays into supporting him. A truly Bloody Racist.
- 2:01 pm
haiya....say wrong thing die, say right things also die....very difficult crowd to please. Talk only pandai....
- 2:04 pm
I remember the 1980's UMNO power tussle when that old goat MM narrowly defeated Ku Li, Nazri voted against MM but at the same time he actively supported Anwar (in MM's camp then) to head UMNO Youth. After the election MM conducted a Jap-styled (his infamous 'Look East' policy) 'Sook Ching' of all UMNO politicians aligned to Ku Li, except for Nazri. He was shielded from the fratricidal blood letting by none other than Anwar. There is historic bad blood coursing in their veins to explain the current spat. I read KJ may join the cabinet, if so, I think the PM will have more dependable and loyal ministers to push his agenda for 1Malaysia. Good work Nazri, I hope your memories and generosity still serve you well.
- 4:08 pm
TDM has confirmed that BN is racist with this statement:
"Umno, MCA and MIC are all racist parties...Get out of these racist parties if you are anti-racist!"
- 4:58 pm
- monsterball said...
When Mahathir is upset or unhappy...you will see the real Mahathir with his famous twisting style of talking.
Noticed he went all out to literally kill UMNO when he was not happy with Pak Lah.
Najib make sure Mamak is happy...out come Nazri...calling him."Father of Racism"
Mahathir have openly accept he is a racist by saying UMNO is a racist party...and the show mus go on....with Lim Kit Siang ..having so much fun...with his remarks..waiting for Najib to respond.
To me..Mahathir is.."Father of All Evils"...and strangely..most UNNO members call him."Father of Modernization"
Mahathir have so many fatherhood tiles..that put shame to previous PMs..or is it .the or other way round?
And I must add..ex Judge Ian Chin called him ...the devil reincarnated.
Playing dirty politics...all his life...encouraging corruptions..so that he can steal billions of tax payers money for his family...Mahathir 22 years disunited Malaysians..making him so happy to divide and rule..on going...by Najib..as UMNO actually..have no other choice.
- 5:06 pm
This ploy to incite the Malays to hate the non-Malays on the one hand and to preach the '1Malaysia' concept to the non-Malays on the other hand is a desperate strategy by Umno to unite the Malays against the perceived threats of the non-Malays while subtlety reaching to the non-Malays with their rhetorical concept of a '1Malaysia' merely for electoral support.
One cannot imagine that Utusan Malaysia could have taken the bold step to write its inflammatory articles without the tacit support and agreement from the Home Ministry.
By condoning and allowing Utusan Malaysia a free rein to publish racist and inflammatory articles, the Home Ministry must bear full responsibility should any untoward accident occur as a result of their publications.
- 7:57 am
During Pak Lah's tenure, Dr. M loaded his machine gun with uncountable round of bullets and hit the target most of the time. He seems to unload all the bullets since Najib took over the hot seat. Except for the spat between Nazri on BTN issues, he has been hibernating of late. Perhaps, the fire will be re-ignited if in need KJ is appointed a Ministerial position. Let's wait and see.
- 7:38 am
As a Malaysian (and Malay), I cannot understand how semi-literates like Zaini and Awang are allowed free rein in what used to be a paper of repute. For one thing, it may indicate the level of thinking in most institutions that seem to be run and ruined by such mediocre people.
No wonder the number of Malays applying to leave the country. You know, I am a product of the Universiti Malaya in 70s and early 80s and I cannot imagine that such an article could even see the light of day. It's is these journalists and organisations that need to be investigated.
Woe betide BN if no action is taken against Awang Selamat and Zaini Hassan. They ought to be in a ISA cell for stoking racial sentiments. BN will be doomed in the next election if the PM is going to condone Utusan Malaysia's dangerous moves.
Remember, the 'Modern Melayu' are neither stupid nor sleeping. They will teach Umno and Utusan a good lesson soon.
If the police or the home minister are not going to take action against Zaini for insulting the Indians, the rakyat will have to take action against Utusan and Zaini. This by boycotting Utusan. Don't buy it and ask the Indian vendors not to supply it.

Hello Fatimah
I wish we have more Malays like you in Malaysia.
