The India-Pakistan peace march continues
Sandeep Pandey
The India-Pakistan Peace March from Delhi to Multan is symbolically over, but the Indian participants are leaving quite dissatisfied at not being allowed to march within the country. It was quite embarrassing to be talking about disarmament but moving around under heavy armed security cover, always accompanied by a police jeep, even though obviously, this was for security reasons. Some of the hosts within Pakistan were also uncomfortable with this. However, it was either this curtailed and restricted visit, or none at all.
Marchers from both countries had trouble crossing over into the other country to participate in the march. Both governments delayed granting visas to marchers from the other side, but the Indian government finally did grant visas for all 12 districts that fell on the route; the Pakistani government granted visas only for the cities of Lahore and Multan. It is another matter that the Pakistani marchers could not use their visas for all places, because of the further delays caused by the Pakistani government in granting them permission to cross the Wagha border on foot. By the time they crossed into India, the march was in the last district, Amritsar.
On the positive side, while the Pakistani marchers were walking on the road for five days in India, there was no police accompanying us, which can be considered an achievement of the march.
It is an ironic that whereas both governments created hurdles in the path of peace-lovers from the two countries, L. K. Advani, the mastermind behind the rise of communal politics in India, is soon going to be a state guest of the government of Pakistan.
What this means is that the peace activists who labour to change the relationship of animosity between the two nations over the last 57 years and are mobilising the public support in favour of a friendly and peaceful relationship between India and Pakistan are discouraged at every step. On the other hand, the man whose party brought the two nations to the brink of nuclear war and whose followers indulged in the worst carnage in independent India, in Gujarat, will be enjoying government hospitality in Pakistan.
This only reflects the misplaced priorities of the governments.
Many in India are fighting to free Indian politics of the forces which are a threat to democratic polity, and find it discouraging that their neighbouring nation chooses to honour the leader of these regressive forces. Even opponents of US policy appreciated the American denial of a visa to Narendra Modi, a step that definitely discredits these forces. Many in India admire Pervez Musharraf for his steps to check fundamentalist forces in Pakistan, but they also expect him to help the Indian people in controlling such forces in their country.
The peace march received a very positive response from the many people's representatives they met. The Nazim of Lahore, Mian Amir Mehmood, granted permission for the peace march to take place within the city and allowed participants to plant a sapling that Professor Rameek Mohan, one of the marchers from India, had brought from Rohtak, as a symbol of peace and friendship.
MNA Rana Tariq Javed was present to welcome us at a small function in Sahiwal on our way to Multan. The local Nazim and the SSP, Khuda Bux Malik, were also present here. In Chichawatni the local Nazim welcomed us. In Multan, MNA Shah Mahmood Hussain Qureshi, who happens to be the Sajjada Nashin of the Dargah of Bahauddin Zakaria, almost echoed our sentiments in his speech and granted us permission to move about freely in Multan, where we planted another Indian sapling at the City Council Hall. Back in Lahore, we were hosted in the Punjab Assembly by opposition leader Qasim Zia.
The people's representatives compensated for the negative attitude shown by the Pakistani government towards the peace march. Clearly, the movement for democracy will have to be strengthened if pro-people initiatives are allowed to take place freely here. The peace movements on either side should strengthen the democratisation process in both Pakistan and India; they are already resolved to continue pushing forward the agenda for peace and friendship between the two countries. At the level of the common people this is the most important democratic issue in the context of bilateral relationship.
The original plan had been to organise a joint peace march of activists from both countries. But that remains unfinished. Although in their meeting Pervez Musharraf and Manmohan Singh used language hitherto used by peace activists, the two governments did not cooperate fully in facilitating the peace march.
The activists are determined to return to finish this march next year. Hopefully by then the governments will have realised the advantages of letting such an activity take place.

March for peace
(Kashmir Times - May 17, 2005)
March for peace
by Beena Sarwar
Mazher Hussain from Hyderabad, India, has a dream that many others share. The energetic peace activist dreams of the time when people from India and Pakistan can walk together on public roads in each other's countries. When he first talked about this peace march idea during a visit to Karachi over a year ago, the first thing that came to mind was the difficulties of such an exercise. Visas... security... organisation (lack of, especially in Pakistan where the grassroots or community organisations are not as strong as in India)...
But Mazher, who heads a confederation of voluntary organisations (COVA), was not to be daunted. It would be like a relay of marchers, he said, with a core group walking the entire distance, while local organisations would prepare the ground for their meetings at the villages and towns they would pass on their way. "It is doable, and it will work. You will see," he insisted.
A year later, Mazher is part of the dozen peace marchers from India that Pakistan finally granted visas to (out of the 70 who applied) and allowed to cross into the country on foot for the final leg of the march. They had reached the border on April 18, and waited there until the permission arrived on May 7.
The group includes the young activist filmmaker Monica Wahi, who moved from Delhi to Ahmedabad after the Gujarat communal riots (carnage, rather, as the Indian human rights groups labelled them) and took up residence in an apartment block there in her quest to help the affected women. Supported by other women's groups, she set up a system for them to be able to earn their own livelihood by making and selling readymade garments, simultaneously promoting traditional hand-loom, dying and block-printing methods.
Led by the veteran and respected social activist Dr Sandeep Pandey, the Indian delegation has not been allowed to 'march' in Pakistan but only to drive, due to 'security reasons' according to the Pakistani authorities. It is odd that thousands of Indians and Pakistanis can be allowed to roam on public roads and markets in each other's countries if they are ostensibly there to see a cricket match, but not if they are explicitly making the trip to promote the cause of peace.
Still, the very fact that they are here at all is testimony to their persistence and patience, and that of their fellow peace activists on either side of the border.
The march began on March 23 in Delhi, at the shrine of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. India granted special visas to only nine Pakistanis (out of the 70 who applied), listing the cities they would be passing through on the journey. However, at the last minute, the Pakistani authorities prevented them from crossing into India on foot. At the inaugural of the march, meanwhile, the presence of celebrities like the Indian director Mahesh Bhatt and the Pakistani film actress Meera (one of the three Pakistanis present there) ensured a fair amount of media coverage for the walk.
Meanwhile hectic efforts to secure permission for the other Pakistanis to join the Indian marchers continued, and on April 9, Pakistan finally allowed nine of them, including four women, to walk across the Wagah border to join their Indian friends who by then had reached the River Beas. The Pakistani women included Lali Kohli, the
courageous former bonded labourer from Sindh who recently won her freedom, and young Nayyar Habib of the Labour Party.
The insistence on crossing the border on foot has political significance. It highlights the fact that the Indian and Pakistani governments normally restrict visitors from each other's countries to trains, airplanes and buses, which is far more time-consuming and expensive. Visa holders are restricted to the entry and exit points stipulated on their visa applications -you can't change your mind later and return to Karachi from Bombay if your visa application has Delhi as the exit point.
The peace march ended on May 11, the seventh anniversary of the Indian nuclear tests. Interestingly, the marchers' arrival in Lahore coincided with the authorities removing the replica of the Chaghi hills from in front of the railway station - followed by the clarification that the move is being made for 'repairs', a convenient escape route in case the hawks become louder than the doves.
As for the doves, the reception in Pakistan has been 'amazing', says Monica. Large numbers of people turned up to greet the marchers, from Lahore, to Sahiwal, to Chichawatni and Multan. "It was beyond all expectations, even of the local organisers," she adds. "Isn't it a great injustice for the governments to not allow us to walk as we had asked? To keep people apart who want to meet? Is this why they didn't give us permission to walk, they were afraid of this huge response?" The organisers also raise the very valid question of how Pakistan hopes to host the forthcoming Asia-Pacific Social Forum in Karachi, January 2006, for which the Prime Minister has promised full support, noting that after all, he also promised full support to the 150 peace marchers -a far smaller number than the 20,000 expected for the Social Forum.

Credit where credit is due
by Kamran Shafi
What kind of good governance do we have in the Mother of All Provinces if the government of the Great Chaudhry cannot provide protection to our guests within his own fiefdom?
There are just so many people in the world who fight for an ideal for no other reason but that it is an ideal, and because it is for the good of humanity; there are very few in the world who have such courage of their convictions that they will stand up against the strongest of the state apparatus and say the truth no matter what. Those who are in the vanguard of peace movements across the world are among those we speak about, the Indian subcontinent producing two outstanding examples: our own Karamat Ali of PILER, and the Magsaysay Award 2002 winner Sandeep Pandey of the Indian NGO, Asha (Hope).
It was so good receiving the India-Pakistan Peace March led by Sandeep Pandey at Wagah on Saturday last in the company of Karamat Ali and friends; it was so heartening to see ordinary, lay people, both Indian and Pakistani, so taken up with peace between their countries that they braved with good humour the hot sun for hours on end while bureaucratic procedures took their twisted, and long, and painful paths. It was so gratifying indeed, to see dedicated people like Sandeep, the moving spirit from the Indian side and Karamat from ours, give so much of themselves to amity and understanding. More than anything, it was great to see Sandeep's young children, Chaitanya, eight, and Anandi, five, march with the rest!
That is what brought tears to my eyes, to see the little ones marching for peace: what memories these young children will carry all their lives, of being part at their tender ages of a march which attempted to talk some sense to two poverty-ridden but completely senseless countries, both of which possessed the ultimate in weapons of mass destruction but the mass of whose people lived in abject poverty.
It wasn't easy for this march to proceed, we must note, both governments making it as hard as they could, ours excelling the other side. While the Indians delayed for 10 days the issuance of visas to the Pakistani marchers who were to cross into India to accompany the Indian marchers into Pakistan, the Pakistan government did not allow the Pakistanis to cross the border on foot to join their counterparts for another 13. Once these issues had been resolved and the Pakistanis had crossed over and joined their co-marchers in Beas, the Pakistan government delayed issuing visas to the Indians to cross into Pakistan for a further 19 days. Looks sort of even thus far, this negativism, doesn't it? So how did we excel? By issuing only 12 visas to the Indian marchers while India issued 22 to ours.
It has to be put on record too that whilst India allowed Pakistani marchers to march alongside the Indians from Beas to Amritsar, we did not allow the Indians to march alongside Pakistani marchers from Lahore to Multan. They have now gone to Multan by motor transport. The reason that the authorities have put forward is the presence of extremists who could pose a threat to the Indian marchers. Permission was not granted despite the organisers taking full responsibility for their Indian guests.
A fob-off on the part of the government if you ask me: for we all know that the cowards who kill the unarmed and the weak would not dare attack hundreds of high profile peace activists. Moreover, what kind of good governance do we have in the Mother of All Provinces if the government of the Great Chaudhry cannot provide protection to our guests within his own fiefdom?
Sorry for boring you, gentle reader, but it is important to point out the fault-lines in this peace process so that the leaders spearheading it, even if they are half-way serious, can take corrective measures to identify the stumbling blocks, be they inflexible and pig-headed bureaucrats or stupid and arcane rules and regulations. Indeed who could find anything wrong with the declaration that the marchers are carrying with them and which 7,000 ordinary, poor Indians have signed during the march from Delhi to Amritsar:
"We support India-Pakistan Peace March and demand:
"1. India and Pakistan should resolve their disputes through peaceful dialogue. The Kashmir problem should be solved considering the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
"2. India and Pakistan should abolish their nuclear weapons, and remove the armed forces and landmines across the border. The defence budgets should be reduced and resources should be directed towards development of the poor of both countries.
"3. Travelling across the border should be made easy for citizens of both sides and non-visa entry to both countries should be allowed."
All of the people who signed the declaration also said they did not want their government to buy F-16s or F-18s. "We want the money saved spent on schools, dispensaries, sanitation and potable drinking water, not more weapons", they all said. Needless to point out, their counterparts on this side of the border have like feelings.
All in all, the march is a laudable effort by all concerned that should be supported by each one of us in whatever way we can. Every little bit helps: a letter to the editor of a newspaper; an email to the Big General who is so very web-savvy; a 'phone call to the interior minister's office — anything at all. What today is a small snowflake can tomorrow snowball into an avalanche: of peace, amity and understanding.
This article about the good people of the peace march will not be complete without a mention of the Buddhist Monk Tenzin Rigzin. Dressed in his simple orange and yellow robes, wearing rubber chappals, carrying a small backpack, Tenzin Rigzin was humility and meekness itself. Hanging at the back of the march, out of the limelight, out of the sight of press cameras, bowing low with hands joined together in the traditional Buddhist greeting to everyone who approached, and beating a small hide-covered drum was Tenzin Rigzin. Over and over, softly; again and again. This was his peace drum and he was not about to get tired beating it. Incidentally, Tenzin Rigzin was one of those who appealed to 'Prime Minister' Shaukat Aziz for expediting their visas while they waited at the border for a week and more, to no avail of course.
A short note about the influence 'Prime Minister' Shaukat Aziz has over the regime he nominally heads: whilst he promised representatives of the peace-marchers when they met him in Karachi some months ago that the Indians would get a 150 visas, they ended up getting only 12! And those too much delayed. Good reason for him to reconsider his position if you ask me, and resign. Also, reason for all future requests to do with the government to be routed to the Big General himself: poor old Shaukat Aziz being neither here nor there. Seems to me his 'prime ministry' will be shorter lived than poor old Jamali's! Any bets? I am good for Rs 10 any time.

22 Indians not issued visas
Daily Times
India-Pakistan peace march left in the dust
* 22 Indians supposed to arrive not issued visas
By Waqar Gillani
LAHORE: The 22 Indians supposed to arrive at Wagah today were unable to cross the border at Wagah because they were not granted visas due to 'security concerns', said Karamat Ali of the Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research.
Pakistani Peace Coalition, an informal alliance of non-government organisations, temporarily halted the peace march which started in New Delhi and is scheduled to end in Multan on May 11.
"Though we received a report from India early yesterday (Tuesday) stating that the Indian activists had been granted visas and would arrive in Lahore accompanied by nine Pakistanis today, by late night we knew that their names had not been cleared by Pakistan," Ali told Daily Times at Wagah, where he received the nine Pakistanis.
He said that the NGOs were pursuing the matter with the Interior Ministry. "We have been told that the Pakistani High Commission in India is not clearing the names as a security measure. We believe there is no security risk for Indians marching to Multan."
Ali added the march would be halted in Lahore. "We have requested the nine Pakistanis to wait at least a week before returning home." The future of the march depends on the arrival of the Indians. He said that a meeting would be held in Multan on April 24 to formulate a strategy for the peace march. "As a last resort, we can ask the Pakistani marchers to walk to Multan and conclude the march in May."
Arrival of Pakistanis The nine Pakistanis arrived at Wagah on Wednesday afternoon. They were received by dozens of peace activists, who chanted slogans saying the Kashmir issue should be solved with dialogue and not guns. The marchers went to India last week to cross into Pakistan with their Indian counterparts.
The 200-strong turnout at Wagah was much lower than the organisers' claims. The departure time for journalists to Wagah from the press club was changed twice. During the journey, the organisers' vehicle was called back, and the press people had to go the rest of the way on their own. Due to this, a dispute arose between the organisers and journalists at the border. The media people criticised the organisers' attitude after they refused to acknowledge the oversight. Later, they demanded an apology from the pressmen. The main organisers reached the border late. The organisers had also avoided the media people before the arrival.
The Pakistani peace activists who crossed the border condemned the government for not issuing visas to the Indians. They said that the act was a contradiction of the governments' claims of peace.
Residents of Jalo More and Shalimar Garden arranged a reception in honour of the Pakistani activists.

22 Indians to arrive in Pakistan today - Events planned in Lahore
(Daily Times - April 20, 2005 )
LAHORE: As part of an India-Pakistan joint peace march from the shrine of Saint Nizamudidn Aulia in New Delhi to the shrine of Saint Bahauddin Zakariya in Multan, 22 Indians will cross into Pakistan at Wagah today (Wednesday).
The Indians will be accompanied by nine Pakistanis who had crossed into India last week for the march. The walk was contrived by an informal alliance of non-government organisations, including the Pakistan Peace Coalition and the National Alliance of Peoples' Movements in India. Originally, 180 people were scheduled to participate in it. It will continue till May 11.
The Joint Action Committee for Peoples' Rights, an alliance of over 30 NGOs in Lahore, on Tuesday chalked out a plan to receive the delegates at Wagah. It has also planned their activities for the three days they will stay in the city.
The group will walk to Shalimar Garden on Wednesday before wrapping up for the day. On April 21, they will reach the Lahore High Court and on March 22 they will leave for Multan via the Grand Trunk Road.
The peace activists have been invited to two dinners, one by the South Asia Free Media Association (SAFMA) and the other by the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).
Karamat Ali of the Pakistan Institute of Labour Education & Research (PILER), one of the main organisers, told Daily Times that the Indians were originally denied visas. "They were only given permission to enter Pakistan after intervention by the federal interior minister," he said
The Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi granted visas to just 22 of the 140 people who applied, he said. The Indian group is led by Dr Sandeep Panda[y].
Dr Panda[y], who is from Lucknow, proposed the march plan during a joint convention of the Pakistan-India Peoples' Forum for Peace and Democracy (PIPFPD) at Karachi in 2003.

Priorities in India, Pakistan relations
[Kashmir Times, April 18, 2005]
Priorities in India, Pakistan relations
By Sandeep Pandey
When we reached Phillaur from Ludhiana we met the first resistance
to our position on Kashmir during the Peace March. Our host here was
Mr. Johal, president of the committee which runs the Gurudwara where
we were to stay. He registered his protest as soon as we reached
Phillaur saying that our position that the Kashmir issue must be
resolved according to the wishes of people of J&K was not acceptable
to him as it was a position which favoured Pakistan. He was of the
view that Kashmir was an integral part of India and only Indians had
a right to decide about the future of Kashmir. It was obviously a
narrow nationalist position held by him and shared by few people in
the country. The meeting was being held in a Hanuman temple.
He snatched our signature campaign sheet and started striking out
the statement on Kahsmir. He was stopped from doing this after two
sheets as he was told that there were other people who had signed
the sheets who did not share his opinion on Kashmir and instead
agreed with the position of the Peace March. The peace marchers
tried to avoid getting into an unpleasant situation with their host
for the evening. They tried to reason with him but he was not in a
mood to listen to any other point of view.
In the night after the dinner at the Gurudwara his associates joined
a meeting that we were holding to discuss how to tackle such a
situation in future. Another round of discussion took place on
Kashmir and we tried to reason with them that the any possible
humane solution to the problem must involve the people from J&K. We
explained that the narrow nationalist view held by Indians from
outside Kashmir, or for that matter Pakistanis outside Kashmir, was
born out of feudal mindset and in a world in which people were more
sensitive to human rights violations and also democratic way of
thinking, the conventional nationalist Indian and Pakistani view
could not be imposed on the people of Kashmir. Also, in a world
where economic policy of globalization was taking over, the concept
of nation state was weakening and even the two Governments probably
realize that staying ahead in economic development was more
important than in arms race, taking away pressure from the
governments to make a prestige issue out of Kashmir. It was also
pointed out that the traditional concept of nationalism was not
shared by a major section of the society including dalits, tribals,
women, and other marginalized sections, who were busy with more
basic struggles for life and livelihood than engage with the
question of national pride. They, for example, were not likely to
feel the same enthusiasm if India were to beat Pakistan in a game of
Cricket compared to people who were close to the ruling class. We
don't know whether this discussion had any affect on the associates
of Mr. Johal but he did come to see us off in the morning and seemed
to be more calm than the previous evening. He had probably accepted
the difference in point of view held by him and us and had
reconciled himself with this fact.
Our march while it was in Ludhiana was shown on the national TV
Doordarshan news. As we were walking from Phillaur to Phagwara a
man, Paramjit, who was in the business of buying and selling
buffaloes, after recognizing us came over from the other side of the
road and stopped us. He expressed his happiness that such a march
was taking place and confidently told us that we were going to get
visas to cross over into Pakistan. At that time we knew that the
Pakistani government had dashed all our hopes by refusing to allow
marchers from Pakistan to cross over into India. But Paramjit's
resolve reflected the opinion of common people that people should be
allowed to cross the border freely. Little did we know then that two
days later the Internal Ministry of Pakistan would actually grant
permission to the Pakistani marchers to join the march. This has
also opened the possibility of us going to Pakistan and realizing
our dream of a joint march through the territories of India and
Pakistan and jointly crossing the Wagha.
As we were walking out of Phagwara towards Jalandhar a man came from
behind on a bicycle and got down from his bicycle after stopping
next to me. Surjit Singh earns his living as a Tadi Kirtan singer.
His wife is also in the same vocation. He first congratulated us on
taking out this march. He told me that he had signed our signature
campaign which my colleague Chandralekha from Hardoi District of
U.P. was carrying walking behind me. He then offered a suggestion
with which I was pleasantly surprised.
He said that the third point in the signature campaign, about
allowing people from two countries to meet freely and, if possible,
doing away with Passport-Visa system, should have a higher priority
than the first two points. The first point was about two sides
resolving their disputes peacefully through dialogue, including the
issue of Kashmir according to the wishes of people of J&K and the
second point was about doing away with nuclear weapons, land mines
and reducing the defence budgets so that resources could be spent on
development of poor people on both sides of the border. Surjit's
argument was that for the common people from India and Pakistan the
third point was closest to their heart and it was also probably the
easiest for the two Governments to agree to.
The impact that this could have would also create an atmosphere
where the Governments will find it easier to make progress on the
first two points. I looked at him in admiration and promised him
that I would mention his views in an article. I'm truly impressed by
the understanding of Surjit Singh who is a representative of the
common people. Only somebody like him could have thought like this
because we intellectuals often cannot free ourselves from our
preferences and biases. I'm glad I met Surjit Singh, the Tadi Kirtan
singer, on my way and thank him for educating me about the
priorities of issues as common people see it. I kept cursing myself
why I could not see this simple logic when I was drafting the
signature campaign text. Anyway, we're glad that we've collected
over 5000 signatures on this statement and so far and except for Mr.
Johal, nobody seems to have any problems with the point of view that
we're putting forward during the India Pakistan Peace March.

I feel guilty doing this in the middleNorma concert , but I can give you a money back guarantee on @fatherjohnmisty and his band tonight in #melbourne at the #forum
My plan was to quickly iron my shirt and then take a photo of the sunset over Perth city from the rooftop at our hotel. But then I realised the most important thing was to share that ever since a kid and watching my dad iron his shirt before he went off to work, the smell of an iron and the sound somehow give me this buzz like going into battle. Hell, it's not an suit of armour, but in this day and age, it is. (at Alex Hotel)
Hello my little hollow skulled charitable plastic doggy full of coins..Ill see you when I get home from Perth. I had to go to play guitar in @clarebowditch sweet 10 piece band. Home soon. (at Melbourne Airport - Domestic Terminal)
Inside My Hand
Recording #themoth at howler. Hot night, hot stories!! Theme tonight is ' BUSTED '
Spent the day out on a windswept hill making a short film about my obsession with bees. Ever tasted comb straight out of the hive? #liquidgold
It's not enough to lock up refugees in Australia. Now we're locking up harmless river stones in aid of landscaping security
My poor little collarbone from 4 weeks ago. Good news is I'm out of the sling, playing guitar, driving a car and about to start a lot of swimming. I'll always have a little lump though. Kind of like a tattoo but more calcium-y
Shortest day of the year = longest shadow of the year
Saturday night at my house. Projectors and broken bones. #somelikeithot

While at BriForum 2012 in Chicago the Top 5 sessions I want to see are:
1) How SAML, OAUTH, and Other Identity Federation Solutions Work in a Windows Enterprise, and Why Windows Apps Can't be More Like Web Apps
I am doing lots with Horizon Application Manager so hopefully this will help further my understanding of SAML.
2)The Essential VDI Design Guide
The presenter, Dan Brinkmann is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. Look forward to hearing his advice.
3) VDI is Less Secure Than Physical Desktops: The Reality That Nobody Wants to Talk About
This should be a blood bath. My opinion is on the other side of the fence so it will be great to hear the presenters side of the story.
4) 10 Ways My Users Said, "FUIT"
Should be funny but yet have some good value. I think the saying "Funny because it's true" will get applied a lot.
5)10 Things in AD That Can Hurt Your Application and Desktop Virtualization Efforts (And How to Fix Them)
It's always the things you can't control that bite you in the _ _ _. I hope I can get a couple steps ahead with this session.

The Art of Mastering Stories
Manga: Offering Countless Hours of Entertainment
Manga is considered as the Japanese style of creating graphic books and any comic book lovers are likely to be also interested in this form of publication. It was late in the 19th century that manga was developed and it continues to gain popularity across the globe. There are numerous entertainment websites that focus on offering manga comics to readers of all ages.
Manga websites also provide translations to the manga comics that were originally created and written using the Japanese language. There are a handful of websites out there that translates these manga comics into their native language. If you are in Indonesia and you would want to baca komik Indonesia, you can always rely on the power of search engines to give you top sources. In Bahasa, 'baca' is roughly translated to "read."
Indonesian fans of these Japanese comics who prefer to read manga in their native language can enjoy baca komik Indonesia. As a source of entertainment, manga comics continue to cater to the needs of both adults and children. The genre offered by manga comics is very diverse that it has something between comedy to science fiction. It is, therefore, no wonder that anyone who loves manga can easily lose track of time as they breeze through the pages of each book.
There are also mobile applications that are maintained by providers of baca komik Indonesia in addition to the website they run. Through the apps that they maintain, they are able to give their readers their much-needed mobility so they can read their favorite series whenever and wherever they want to. Some of the content of these websites is also being marketed at a very small price, while there are those whose contents are all available for free.
The difference between Japanese and American comics is mostly anchored on the audiences it caters to. Compared to American comics, manga has various and unique contents that are intended for different age groups. In fact, Japanese manga has contents that are solely for the entertainment of adults.
With the proliferation of manga-focused websites, manga fans no longer have to rely solely on physical comic books to get their manga fix. The majority of the fans of these Japanese works no longer have to spend a lot of money on comic books as 90% of these manga contents have been made available for free on manga websites. Fans who want to read their comics in Bahasa can search for Bahasa-specific manga websites in major search engines using the keywords "baca komik Indonesia."
Through the digital form of these manga comic books called e-comics, fans of these Japanese art works can now easily read the different stories each manga novel offers. Those who don't speak Japanese can even enjoy these works as there are translation services offered by different websites that market these contents.

Baltimore is a great town and fabulous city for weddings. It's also filled with a vast variety of celebrated venues who serve it. We've gathered a list of the 13 Best Wedding Venues in Baltimore. We built the list according to two criteria:
1) Places that photograph exceptionally well, and,
2) Locales with stellar reviews by real clients and real people who've had excellent experiences working with these businesses. These venues have also received various awards from Wedding Wire and The Knot.
The list is not ranked, rather, it's alphabetical. All of these venues are incredible and worth checking out, not just as your plan your wedding, but also as part of a Baltimore city tour--tourist tip! Photos By Kintz offers this list as a guide when scouting venues. We hope you find our 'Key Features/Who Might Like It' typology helpful as you plan.
Have you worked with one of these vendors? Tell us about it. We'd love to hear your experiences!
Here's the list in alphabetical order. Scroll down to read short blurb about each venue.
Key Features: An art museum like none other, American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) contains, "art produced by self-taught individuals, usually without training." For 21 years, the AVAM has been curating their permanent collection of 4,000+ works, while featuring themed, rotating exhibitions of exquisite art. Located in Federal Hill, the building itself is one of architectural beauty. AVAM is close to the city's Inner Harbor hotels for easy access to guest accommodations. There are two venue options. The Sculpture Barn and Garden holds 125 seated with room for dancing with access to a lovely outdoor green space in Baltimore's otherwise urban environment. The Jim Rouse Visionary Center 3rd floor banquet room accommodates up to 400 seated with dancing.
Who Might Like It: The AVAM extends a fresh perspective on what it means to support "local" by displaying hip, original art pieces of the self-taught. The raw spaces and industrial design of brick, metal, and artwork can fill the decor naturally, or be a blank canvas where people can adorn it the way they want. If unique and artistic aesthetic is important to you, then look into this stellar venue.
Key Features: If you find your happy place in a prestigious art museum with world-renowned paintings and sculptures, then check out the Baltimore Museum of Art. The grand entrance into the museum gives it incredible curb appeal and sets you up for spectacular outdoor photos on the stairs. Facility spaces are as diverse as the exhibitions. Be all the gaze as you mingle during your ceremony and reception inside an impressive historic building built in the 1920s. The Baltimore Museum of Art began offering its services as a wedding venue in 2014, and already it has achieved the Wedding Wire 2016 Editor's Choice award.
Who Might Like It: Maybe you've always imagined yourself walking through a vaulted-ceiling, marble-floored room surrounded by Ionic columns and fine art, like that of the Fox Court or the Antioch Court. Enjoy dining outside at your private event in Gertrude's Restaurant and stand on the terrace overlooking the Museum Sculpture Garden. The Baltimore Museum of Art is graceful and refined and promises to add this atmosphere to your special day.
Key Features: Be striking and audacious with the Baltimore Museum of Industry. It celebrates the workers, small business owners, and other laborers who built Baltimore and filled the ranks of its industries. The Alonso G. Decker Gallery can hold between 250 to 500 people, depending on what you want to offer guests. The Open-Air Pavilion seats 300 with room for more if adjoined with its waterfront space. The Museum of Industry is located on the waterfront of the Inner Harbor and affords a splendid view of downtown Baltimore. On-site parking for guests is free and included with rentals.
Who Might Like It: Love the glass, steel, wood, and iron combo? BMI celebrates historical and contemporary Baltimore and has an industrial charm that makes you feel like rolling up your sleeves and having a good time at a wedding. What's more, because you're in a room surrounded by artifacts and items of interest, you can save some cash by selecting to go minimal with the tablescape. Or not; it's up to you! Be sure to tour this positively customer-reviewed venue.
Key Features: Dramatic flair and a little piece of Europe awaits you at The Cloisters Castle. The Cloisters is a large Gothic-Manor house on 60 acres of secluded woods just outside of Baltimore. Elegance and peace will envelop your ceremony. When you book your wedding here, the whole property--house and gardens--are reserved for you the entire day. There are rooms for the bride and bridal party to prepare and relax before the ceremony, as well as a place to change for out-of-town guests. The venue allows up to 155 guests.
Who Might Like It: Europhiles for certain, but also those who love the countryside and private, secluded settings. Stone-work, manicured gardens, grand fireplaces, and a winding driveway set the theme of your wedding at The Cloisters Castle.
Key Features: The Elkridge Furnace Inn is family-owned and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Join history and hold your wedding at the same location that is part of the Civil War Trail and Underground Railroad. The grand entrance through the pergola is unmatched. Pass under the pergola to one of the best ceremony sites in the area, and be encircled by a canopy of Linden, Holly, and Magnolia trees that inspire love and bliss. A Full-Service venue, with catering and customizable menus, make for convenient planning. Plus, they just opened the 1830's Brick House, a new climate-controlled garden house that accommodates small, intimate parties and up to 250 people. The Elkridge Furnace Inn is Wedding Wire and The Knot rated, including The Knot's Hall of Fame.
Who Might Like It: The Elkridge Furnace Inn is a warm and inviting setting. The venue is timeless and offers a gorgeous traditional setting that compliments all couples. It is 'casual elegance.' The Elkridge Furnace becomes your house, and you become part of the family when you hold your event at this site.
Key Features: On its 26 pristine acres, the Evergreen Museum & Library offer two rental locations, and the grounds promise exquisite photographic settings for you and your guests. Choose from either the Upper Garden and Grounds or the Carriage House. Intimate gatherings or large weddings of up to 300 are well accommodated. This venue has five exclusive caterers which help narrow the field and ease decision-making worries. Tall emerald hedges and bricked entrances, and a former Gilded Age mansion complete this aristocratic setting.
Who Might Like It: The grounds and mansion of the Evergreen are akin to famous English royalty houses. If you loved the house and gardens featured in Pride and Prejudice (the Keira Knightly version), filmed at the acclaimed Chatsworth House in England, then we suggest exploring this immaculate venue. Be sure to walk the lawn of The Meadow, listening to the meandering stream and gentle rustle of the woods.
Key Features: The George Peabody Library website claims to be the "premier" wedding venue in Baltimore. It's not an exaggerated claim. Take one look at the photo gallery, and you'll understand. Imagine standing on a black and white marble floor, skylight six floors above, and surrounded by grand columns and gold-embellished railings which house 300,000+ books of the John Hopkins University Research Library. The Library caters cocktail reception in the Exhibition Gallery. Move into the Reading Room for your ceremony and reception, where you can customize your options for dinner and dancing, or simpler affairs.
Who Might Like It: Certainly book-enthusiasts would relish the idea of starting their marriage blessed by thousands of volumes of knowledge, but you don't need to be a bibliophile to appreciate the grandeur of the George Peabody Library. The library is breath-taking and peaceful but quickly becomes charming and affectionate as the music and guests fill the space.
Key Features: The Gramercy Mansion effortlessly combines indoor and outdoor space, and the enclosed atrium is a tremendous bonus for hosting a garden wedding. This location is known for its bride walk--the long beautiful brick walkway advancing through the ceremony garden to the alter. Did we mention it has a marble gazebo? Weddings have access to the mansion's first floor rooms adorned with artworks, antiques, legendary fireplaces, and oriental carpets. Gramercy Mansion can support 150 guests, and couples frequently book its 11 bed and breakfast rooms for their guests. The Carriage House caters to small weddings up to 100. Booking the Carriage House for rehearsal dinner and Mansion for the wedding earns you a discount. Review the Elopement Packages for those seeking something different.
Who Might Like It: The Gramercy Mansion is living art, inside and out. Its elegance is tasteful and non-intrusive. Guests will feel intimacy to the grounds and enjoy the adornment. Being at this venue for your big day is like a having a close friend with you during your wedding.
Key Features: The formal name of this site fails to let you in on its secret; that it is one of the premier waterfront wedding venues just outside of Baltimore. The dock is a photographic jackpot. It has two lawns facing the South River (of Annapolis) and is equipped with a lovely bridal suite perfect for escape before the ceremony. Cocktails are served from the covered deck, or the bar set up under the idyllic Oak Tree. They have a canopy tent for dinners, and a glass pavilion with an indoor, climate-controlled dance floor. The site is historic, formerly a major trade port in the area and responsible for the economic growth of Annapolis.
Who Might Like It: The clean, crisp, airiness of Historic London Town & Gardens draws you in and invites you to wander through the 10 acres of gardens and little wooden bridges. It's bright and immaculate, just like a sailor's uniform. Take a tour of this award-winning venue.
Key Features: Kimpton Hotel Monaco Baltimore Inner Harbor is a well-situated venue, as the name might suggest, on the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. The hotel has more than 10,000 square feet of flexible event spaces and ample room blocks available. The convenience of hosting a party in one of eight event spaces then retiring to your room is a nice advantage for you and your guests, not to mention the ease of a spacious room to primp and prepare for your special event. The hotel and event space is housed in the former B&O Railroad headquarters and has preserved the original jaw-dropping marble staircase and tiffany stained glass windows from 1906, that accentuate wedding photos perfectly. The largest space can hold 150 guests for seated reception. You can view offers and promotions for special events at Kimpton Hotel Monaco Baltimore here.
Who Might Like It: The ballrooms offer a charming setting and provide the added feature of personally customizing your wedding day menu with the Director of Catering, Executive Chef and a mixologist. Your guests will be talking about the stunning setting and delectable food of your wedding long after you've said, "I do."
Key Features: The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is a venue in a class by itself. It supports small wedding parties, to events filled with hundreds, even thousands of guests, with plenty of room for activities. Most receptions happen at The Mansion House Porch. The Lakeside Pavilion is ideal for your ceremony, and the Waterfowl Pavilion is perfect for casual, picnic-style weddings. Look into the Elopement Package for those who want to keep it simple. Get this: You can have zoo animals attend your cocktail party! A select group of small mammals and birds, such as penguins, ravens, rabbits, and a Chinese alligator make wonderful additions to your photos and a highlight of the party. The Maryland Zoo is the recipient of numerous Wedding Wire Couples Choice Awards.
Who Might Like It: The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is where the contemporary world meets nature in harmony. After all, the presence of animals is said to be calming and bring happiness to humans. The sites are private and insulated by greenery, cascading water, and exquisite landscaping, offering beautiful, unique photo backgrounds in areas closed to the public. The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is a non-profit. All rental fees support its operating budget.
Key Features: The Pier 5 hotel is funky and chic, right on the water in the center of all of the Baltimore Inner Harbor activity. The hotel consists of 66 guest rooms, water and city views and has over 7,234 square feet of function space. It offers on-site catering and audio visual services. The hotel is truly a one-stop shop when it comes to organizing a wedding of any size. After your ceremony, stroll from the lawn straight to the red-bricked walkway abutting the water, for a romantic moment alone, before transitioning to the reception. The venue combines splendid indoor amenities with stunning outdoor settings, to complete your wedding vision.
Who Might Like It: Pier 5 Hotel is in the midst of the electric energy of downtown Baltimore. Still, the site's well-designed space encourages you to contemplate the significance of your new journey with the one who holds your heart. Include a viewing of this Wedding Wire 2016 Couple Choice Award winner as you make plans.
Key Features: 1840s Plaza embodies and celebrates the diverse character and history of Baltimore. It comes with an abundance of personality. This venue's classic speakeasy-like ambiance makes having fun a cinch. Allow the singularity of this location to bolster your wedding vision. Host your wedding on one of three floors. Choose from the 1840s Cabaret, the 1840s City Lites, and 1840s Ballroom. The grounds include two charming courtyard gardens which connect this venue to the 1840s Carrollton Inn, a 13-room bed & breakfast. By the way, 1840s Plaza is the sister location of the Gramercy Mansion.
Who Might Like It: This venue has a classic jazzy-flapper, roaring 1920's atmosphere and the social festivity that comes with it. The three rooms are distinct, but all are bold, dramatic, and fun. Use the decor to create a chic, fashionable look for your wedding and then plunge in for a good time.

'The County will seek the cooperation of descendants of the Skinners'
EUGENE, Ore. - Do you count town founder Eugene Skinner among your ancestors?
Lane County administrators have proposed a new maneuver in their quest to engineer a land swap between the County and City of Eugene so they can build a new Eugene City Hall and County Courthouse center.
Long story short: it involves taking Skinner's kin to court.
County Administrator Steve Mokrohisky proposes the action in a bid to finally resolve the legal quagmire raised by the so-called Skinner Restriction.
Last year, a judge declined to rule on whether the restriction applies - but suggested the parties might take Skinner's ancestors to court to settle the matter.
Now the county wants to do just that - with the cooperation of Skinners descendants.
"The County will seek the cooperation of descendants of the Skinners and other parties interested in confirming that the intent of the language in the original deed is carried out," Mokrohisky wrote to City Manager Jon Ruiz. "The County will petition the court to determine that the donors placed no restriction upon the use of that property that would prevent construction of the City's projects as planned."
In a nutshell: The county possesses land deeded to it by Skinner for county seat purposes. The county wants to swap a portion of that land with the city for city purposes. And so far, courts have been unable to rule whether Skinner's intentions would prevent that from happening.
So now Mokrohisky has proposed taking a legal action called a "quiet title action".
The move is "a lawsuit to establish a party's title to real property against anyone and everyone, and thus 'quiet' any challenges or claims to the title," according to Law.com. "Such a suit usually arises when there is some question about clear title, there exists some recorded problem (such as an old lease or failure to clear title after payment of a mortgage), an error in description which casts doubt on the amount of property owned, or an easement used for years without a recorded description. An action for quiet title requires description of the property to be 'quieted,' naming as defendants anyone who might have an interest (including descendants-known or unknown- of prior owners), and the factual and legal basis for the claim of title."
Devon Ashbridge with Lane County said a ruling could take 90 days to a full year. The county proposes to reimburse the City of Eugene for planning costs associated with the delay.
"The quiet title process does require 2 parties to the legal process in order to move forward," Ashbridge said. "The end goal is to create the most vibrant downtown, the best use of space that we can and we think we're working toward the best solution."
The move would require the City Council's OK.
And some City Councilors have expressed reservations.
Among them: Councilor Mike Clark, who said this latest proposal shows both sides are on the wrong track with City Hall.
"I'm really not sure that's the best idea. But I think it highlights the fact that we've been on the wrong track with City Hall for a while," he said Wednesday. "It would be so much more expensive to do this across the way and it's not a legal certainty that we can do it, or that once we did it, it wouldn't have to come down."
Clark sill wants the Council to consider buying and remodeling the Eugene Water & Electric Board building on the waterfront. EWEB plans to consolidate operations at its Roosevelt Boulevard operations center in the future.
"With a few million more, $5 million maybe, it could be retrofit for 100,000 square feet of usable space for City Hall," Clark said.
Regardelss, Ashbridge said the county remains interested in the vacant lot where Eugene City Hall stood before being demolished.
"The county is still interested in purchasing the former City Hall lot," she said, "even if the city determines that it's not in a position or not comfortable purchasing the butterfly lot."

Excel Document Management Tips and Tricks
Recovering Unsaved Workbooks
You've likely experienced that flash of panic that occurs when suddenly the Excel spreadsheet you've been laboring over unexpectedly vanishes off of your screen. I've certainly gotten lost in my work innumerable times over the years and forgotten to save periodically. This often sets the stage for any of a number of bad things to happen: your computer crashes; the power goes out; you close the wrong workbook without saving—the list goes on and on. Fortunately in Excel 2010 and later you have pretty good odds of being able to recover your work.

Microsoft Excel has long had a Document Recovery feature that in many cases will present a list of workbooks that were open at the time that Excel crashes unexpectedly. Ostensibly Excel creates a back-up copy of your document every 10 minutes, and it's these back-up files that are presented to you after a crash. However, if you close the Document Recovery window without making a selection, those back-up files are lost forever. Fortunately in Excel 2010 and later you have a couple of additional recovery options:
• Follow the steps shown in Figure 1.
• Click File, Info, and then Manage Workbook in Excel 2016 (or Manage Versions in Excel 2010/2013), and then Recover Unsaved Workbooks.
In either case an Open Dialog box will appear from which you can choose any workbooks that Excel has saved copies of on your behalf. Excel removes these files after a couple of days.
Figure 1: Select File / Open / Recover Unsaved WorkBooks
There's still more to learn about this feature in Excel, including how to have Excel create back-up copies on a more frequent basis. The one-hour text-and-video course accompanying this article goes explores the Unsaved Documents capability in more detail, along with many other document aspects, such as managing protected view, creating an automatic back-up of specific spreadsheets, streamlining access to files and folders, and faster ways to convert spreadsheets to PDF format.
Repairing Damaged Workbooks
It can be soul-crushing when you're going about your day and instead of a spreadsheet appearing onscreen for you to continue your work you encounter a prompt that informs you that the workbook is damaged and cannot be opened. Although this can be an unsettling experience, all isn't necessarily lost. You may automatically encounter a prompt that informs you that the workbook is damaged that includes options to Repair or Extract Data, but you can also access this feature on your own, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Choose Repair
As shown in Figure 2, the first and best option is to choose Repair, which will recover as much data from the workbook as possible, including formatting. If that recovery attempt is unsuccessful, repeat steps 1 through 6, and then choose Extract Data, which will to recover only values and formulas from the workbook. In this case you'd have to apply any fonts, number formatting, colors, and so on again but you may be able recover the most important parts of your document.

Welcome to a new year and a new #BulletJournalChallenge!
This is an excellent time to identify what you want to achieve in order to set the tone for the month.
The key component to achieving goals and tasks is being clear about what you want to accomplish. By focusing your efforts on crafting a clear monthly and daily log, it will be possible to inch your way closer to where you want to be by taking action every day.
Make progress by checking the monthly log on a daily basis and assessing which of these tasks you want to tackle today.
Over the course of the month, you will see the monthly log get considerably smaller and your daily logs more focused every day.
You will make enormous progress even if you only get one meaningful thing done each day.
By making steady progress every day, you will get closer to what you want to achieve!
Suggestions on focusing:
How to participate:
Share how you're focusing with your Bullet Journal by posting a photo on Instagram or the #BulletJournalChallenge Facebook group. On Instagram add the hashtag #BulletJournalChallenge to add it to a growing pool of inspiration.

Best thing this week: favas
I blame Melissa for my fava bean obsession. She shared some of her garden bounty two years ago and my taste buds have never fully recovered. Up until this week my favorite fava preparation was this spread. It makes a truly amazing meal that I look forward to every spring. Since planting our own crop in my girlfriend's front yard (those are her daughter's sweet little hands holding our gems) a couple of months ago I've been hearing about how tender and delicious fava greens and flowers are when slightly wilted in a pan with Read More →
Spring lately
The weather in my parts has been amazing. Spring could not come fast enough for me this year. Usually, I relish in the stormy months since inclement weather is so far and few between in Northern California. But this year, the grey skies and barren landscape was hard to take. I cannot get enough of the crazy citrus in every other front yard in my neighborhood and the resilient wildflowers blooming on my favorite hiking trail. I have spring fever is the best way and I want to be outside every possible minute of every Read More →
My Freelance Writing and other Thoughts on a Sick Day
Just a quick check in as I roll into day three of the flu. It's rough, my friends. Second time I've been hit this season. I'm resting and drinking fluids like it's my job. Only problem is it's not and when you're income is based on freelance/contract work there are no sick days. Safe to say I'm learning some tough lessons on taking care of oneself, while juggling deadlines that could just as easily be passed on to the next eager freelancer pitching for my project. Does it sound like I'm complaining? I'm not. Just Read More →
Women who inspire: Artist Courtney Khail
Building on yesterday's post, which seems to have resonated with so many blog friends, I'm excited to introduce you to Courtney Khail and her beautiful watercolor creations. She's one of those treasured connections I made through blogging. We met at Alt last year and became fast friends over little more than 24 hours and several glasses of bubbly. Not only is she a salt-of-the earth kind of gal (who just happens to rock the most amazing vintage gowns you have ever seen, thanks to a very chic grandmother) she's also a gifted artist. Courtney is Read More →
It's a New Day
Hi friends. Following a bit of a self-imposed sabbatical, the time has come to announce a few changes around here. I launched Pink Moon Daily in May 2012 with six exceptional contributors – Melissa McArdle, Torrie and Ryan Sessions, Dayna McLeod, Danielle Copeman and Katie Mattern. These ladies (and gentleman) gave their writing, their thoughts and their photography skills to this community with open hearts. I am forever in their debt for supporting the mission of providing invaluable information, inspiration and guidance on living a healthy lifestyle. So first and foremost, thank you to the Read More →

Eagle-eyed transit cops had a subway bongo player singing the blues yesterday – after they recognized him from a wanted poster and nabbed him.
Anthony Thomas had been sought since September 2001 for a Long Island murder.
Cops from Transit District 1, who received the poster from Suffolk County Police Wednesday, recognized the wanted man as the fellow who bangs the bongos on the IND platform at Columbus Circle – which is just downstairs from their office.
Police collared the slippery Thomas yesterday after he jumped on a southbound D train.
His long arrest record includes using several aliases involving 12 different addresses and eight different dates of birth. The curtain came down for Thomas, 29, when his prints matched those associated with the arrest warrant.

The Perks Of Using Underwater Treadmills
August 14 2018
Water running can help you strengthen your muscles and recover from injury—whether you have access to a fancy underwater treadmill or not.
There are three important differences between road running and trails.
Footing: Running on paths filled with dirt, rocks and branches takes a little getting used to. You'll need to get comfortable with some fancy footwork—and strengthen those stabilizer muscles as well.
Topography: Typically, trails are hillier than roads. You don't see many trail races boasting a "flat and fast" course—so getting used to running up and down inclines is a must.
Intensity: Most runners discover that their pace is far more erratic in a trail race. The typical trail race has slow sections (ascents, sharp turns, loose dirt) and fast sections (descents, straightaways, packed dirt). You can't just lock into your goal pace and cruise the way you do on the roads.
What runner girl doesn't like to buy new shoes—but do you really need 'em?
It depends on the trail. Regular running shoes are perfectly suitable for use on most trails. But if you venture onto rocky, slippery or uneven trails, you'll be better off in a trail-specific kick.
Trail shoes are typically lower to the ground and made with denser midsole materials for better stability. They've also got deeper tread for superior traction on wet ground. Additionally, most trail shoes offer better protection against rocks and roots. On top of all that, trail running shoes usually come in colors that hide dirt better!
Avoid newbie mistakes on race morning with these tried-and-true trail tips.
Get out fast.
Bottlenecking is a common frustration in races that include sections of narrow trails. It becomes almost impossible to pass other runners in these areas. Avoid the problem by starting the race a little faster than normal so you don't get stuck behind slower runners. Don't start too fast though, or you'll be the one slowing others down!
Choose your line.
In trail races, you don't necessarily want to run the shortest possible distance—you want to run the smoothest possible path. To do this, focus your eyes on the ground about 10 feet in front of you so know where your foot is going to land three steps before you get there.
Forget about the clock.
Trail races are often so varied in their terrain that regulating effort by pace is impossible. Instead, focus on your internal sense of effort and try to run the most efficient race possible by feel.

This wishlist is inspired by a need for funky prints,comfort, and height.Lets start off with the funky prints in the jogger pants and blazers, why not add some spark to items that would otherwise come in a neutral color.Besides the jogger pants being in a fun print they also serve as amazing comfort can you say lazy chic?
The platform boots look kind of monstrous and I love that.The boots are powerful and add punch easily which go great with the damaged jeans if you're into an edgy grunge look.As for the acid wash jogger pants and those holographic styled shoes, the two make a great modern day 90s look.What's on your current wishlist?

Accessibility Improvements Come to Craft and Garnish
Aug 25, 2016 in Announcements
We just released Craft CMS 2.6.2916, which introduces a slew of accessibility improvements for the Control Panel, especially around Garnish UI elements like menus and lightswitches.
(What is Garnish? It's a UI toolkit that powers much of the Craft Control Panel interface. Oh, and it's under an MIT license now, so feel free to help contribute!)
Our goal is to make the Craft Control Panel completely WCAG 2.0-compliant. We've still got a long ways to go, but this is a strong first step. If you or your clients have any specific accessibility needs not currently accommodated by Craft, please let us know.

"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

* Share everything.
* Play fair.
* Don't hit people.
* Put things back where you found them.
* Clean up your own mess.
* Don't take things that aren't yours.
* Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
* Wash your hands before you eat.
* Flush.
* Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
* Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
* Take a nap every afternoon.
* When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
* Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
* Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
* And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati Novena, Day Four
Jesus says: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
Pier Giorgio responds: "What wealth it is to be in good health, as we are! But we have the duty of putting our health at the service of those who do not have it. To act otherwise would be to betray that gift of God."
