Ed Miliband and Me
Secrets are sometimes necessary in politics. So is telling the truth but not the whole truth. What is never acceptable are lies. Especially from the leader of a party still in recovery from a predecessor who may have fatally wounded it by the tower of lies he built along the path which led to a million dead Iraqis and cascading extremism around the world.
Earlier this year the Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband asked me to come and see him in his suite of offices overlooking the River Thames in the Norman Shaw Building in parliament. In fact he asked me again and again. When my diary proved uncomfortably crowded his office tried even harder to make it happen. "Ed is very keen to meet George" says one e-mail.
It's not that I was avoiding him, in fact I was intrigued as to what this meeting – with no specified agenda – might be about.
In any case I would never refuse to meet any parliamentary colleague, still less the leader of the opposition. Such meetings, often private, are the stuff of politics at Westminster.
And when the leader of the opposition asking for the meeting is the leader of the party I joined when I was 13 years old, served in at every level for 36 years and loved a lot more than the leader Tony Blair who kicked me out of it ever did, it's obvious I would fit him in. I've known many Labour leaders after all.
Harold Wilson, who won four general elections for the party was a friend of mine. I used to visit him, after his retirement in his rather gloomy flat behind Westminster Cathedral where he would demonstrate his tremendous powers of recall on matters ancient and no recall at all on what he'd said just five minutes before.
James Callaghan frequently invited me to tea in the House of Lords. He like me had never been to university, had come into the party through the trades unions, and was a real Labour man.
I regularly dined with Michael Foot in the Soho eaterie The Gay Hussar, discussed the Second World War over tea and crumpets in the Members Cafeteria of the Commons, sat beside him on the green benches, and of course we were fellow travellers over Iraq. When I was facing expulsion from the Labour Party, Michael Foot gave evidence on my behalf ( he having previously been expelled from the party himself).
Neil Kinnock – though we would become bitter enemies – many times offered me a spare room in his then Ealing house when I first moved to London in 1983 and entertained me in his South Wales home.
John Smith was a close friend of mine for many years until his death.
Gordon Brown – for whom Miliband was once an office boy – previously sat under my chairmanship of the Scottish Labour Party; when I was 26 years old.
The meeting with the current leader, which has become something of a brouhaha came out of the blue and entirely on his initiative. It was a one-on-one with no staff present – which surprised me slightly – and Miliband was gracious in the extreme. Apologising profusely for keeping me waiting slightly he actually helped me off with my coat and personally hung it up by the door. He gave me the best seat in the room and sat with his back to the river.
"The proximate cause of my request to meet you was to discuss the boundaries, but I note that we see eye to eye on that anyway, so thanks for that". Those were the first words spoken in the meeting by him. The subject was not raised again throughout the remaining fifty-nine and a half minutes of the meeting.
More than one week before, and crucially, before he asked me for the meeting, the Labour Chief Whip had sent an emissary – my own usual channel – to ask how I would be voting on the new boundary proposals.
I had told that emissary that although the Tory sponsored boundary changes suited me in Bradford personally very well – they put me up against the hapless Lib-Dem MP David Ward with Labour nowhere in sight – I would be voting with Labour because I knew the overall changes were designed to help the Tories win the next election, something a good deal more important than my own electoral fortunes. Helpfully, hours later, I sent the emissary an e-mail expanding on my reasons for voting Labour on this!
Thus, Ed Miliband knew before he met me, before he EVEN ASKED to meet me, how I was going to vote on the Boundary Changes.
This is where, for some, it gets a great deal less interesting.
Mr Miliband did not raise with me any possibility of my rejoining Labour. Nor did he discuss any potential co-operation between us on any other matter, then, or in the future.
Neither of course did I, except to say, as we have said since our foundation in 2004, that no Respect MP would ever vote to put the Tories in power. Ever. We consider ourselves a part of the labour movement, indeed as the ghost of Labour's past, saying the things Labour used to say, standing up for the people Labour used to represent. All this I said in fact from the victor's rostrum a little over a year ago when I turned a solid Labour majority into a landslide victory for Respect in the Bradford West by-election.
So what did we discuss? We discussed politics. Local – Bradford and East London – national – the Bedroom Tax, the proper response to the Tory Austerity savagery – and international – Palestine, Iraq, the USA. That's what parliamentarians do. And that's all Ed Miliband had to say when – months later – the news of the meeting was leaked, presumably deliberately by someone in New Labour, to the Mail on Sunday. It would have had the benefit of being the truth.
Instead he chose to lie. The proximate cause of his lie is presumably rooted in the weakness of his position inside the Labour Party. The intention of the leakers was to administer a further kick at the man they'd never accepted as leader. For them his brother, the prince across the water David, is the true and rightful heir to Blair and the fact that the normal rules of primogeniture were so flagrantly transgressed in his defeat just makes it all much harder to bear.
First Blair himself then a train of camp followers, Peter Mandelson and Lord John Reid in the van, had been putting the boot in to Ed Miliband for the direction he'd been travelling in. Within the shadow cabinet, a pack of (frankly chihuahua-like) attack puppies seem to be constantly biting at the leaders ankles. The proximate cause of that is that Labour's lead in the polls is vanishingly small given the mass unpopularity of the disastrous Con-Dem coalition government. The Blairite solution is for Labour to be even more like the Con-Dems – except where it's possible to outflank them on the right!
All that is more Miliband's business, than mine. His weakness in the ongoing inner-party struggle may well have been a good reason for him not to pursue me for a meeting. It's not a reason to lie about it once news of the meeting he set up, leaks out.
The Mail on Sunday called me at breakfast in my Bradford constituency on Saturday 20th April. I refused to comment and immediately communicated news of the call to Miliband. I did not want to see him damaged. He had impressed me in the meeting. I want to see David Cameron out. That means Miliband as PM. I hate the Blairites – what's not to hate?
If Miliband had played with a straight bat I would have never commented at all.
Instead in an act of unprincipled cowardice he immediately – on and off the record- began to authorise abusive attacks on me and my views. Even then, in last Tuesday's Evening Standard I tried to exculpate him from the charge – which is in fact untrue – that he had tried to attract me back into Labour.
The last straw though came out of his own mouth, under pressure from slimy Nicky Campbell on Radio 5 Live on Thursday morning when he became both personally insulting as well as politically foolish.
He said I was an "awful man" with "awful views" that he wanted to see me defeated at the next election (although Labour has conspicuously NOT placed Bradford West on its target list of winnable seats – little wonder, my majority is more than 10,000 and 56% of the vote in an eight party race).
But if I am "awful" why did he pursue me so earnestly for a private meeting? Why did he say at the end of it "we must do this again…. but perhaps not here" (in his Westminster office)?
If my views are "awful" why have I been elected to parliament six times whilst holding fast to them? Why have I TWICE defeated New Labour, from their left, in rock solid Labour seats; because of my views, or despite them?
And why did his father, Ralph Miliband, hold to virtually identical views all of his long and illustrious life?
Unfortunately perhaps for Ed Miliband, there are many people who share my views, and for whom none of the big parties are speaking, for or to. And who appear to command so little respect from today's New Labour Party. That, I believe whether he knew it or not, was the real proximate cause of Mr Miliband's desire to meet me. Because I speak for them. Clearly and without fear and I intend to go on doing so.
That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me God.

"Tramp the Dirt Down"
The old saw that one shouldn't speak ill of the recently dead cannot possibly apply to controversial figures in public life. It certainly didn't apply to President Hugo Chavez who predeceased Margaret Thatcher amidst a blizzard of abuse.
The main reason it must not preclude entering the lists amidst a wave of hagiographic sycophantic tosh of the kind that has engulfed Britain these last hours is that otherwise the hagiographers will have the field to themselves.
Every controversial divisive deadly thing that Thatcher did will be placed in soft focus, bathed in a rose-coloured light, and provide a first draft of history that will be, simply, wrong.
As is now well-known, I refused to do that today on the demise of a wicked woman who tore apart what remained good about my country, and set an agenda which has been followed, more or less, by all of her successors. I certainly wasn't prepared to leave the obituaries to those who profited from her rule or those who have aped her ever since.
So here is my own memory of Thatcher and what she did in her time on this earth.
On one of my first political demonstrations – against the Conservative government of Edward Heath (1970-74) the slogan of the day was "Margaret Thatcher- Milk snatcher". It was the first but not the last time I spat out her name in distaste.
Before Thatcher, every primary school pupil received 1/3 of a pint of milk every morning. For some it was the difference between breakfast and no breakfast. I was sometimes one of those. I grew up in a brief period of social democracy in Britain, being dosed by the state with free cod-liver oil, orange juice and malt to build up my strength. Having been born in a slum tenement into a one-room attic in an Irish immigrant area, I needed all of that and more. And like millions I got it, until Thatcher took it away.
She became the Conservative leader after Heath's two electoral defeats in 1974 and his subsequent resignation.
She was a new type of Tory leader, entirely lacking in anything resembling "noblesse oblige". She was nasty, brutish and short of the class previously thought obligatory in Britain amongst leaders of the ruling elite. She was vulgar, money-worshipping, and blasphemous. She believed the important part of the Biblical story of the "Good Samaritan" was not that he refused to pass by the suffering on the other side of the road but that he had "loadsamoney".
In the infamous sermon on the Mound in Edinburgh addressing the Church of Scotland she opined that there was "no such thing as society"…"only individuals"
As the Labour leader Neil Kinnock, in one of his better efforts, retorted: "No such thing as society? Only individuals? No such thing as honouring other people's parents? No such thing as cherishing other people's children? No such thing as us and always? Just ME and NOW? ME and NOW?"
She was the living embodiment of Marx's prediction that under capitalism "all that is solid will melt into air… all that is sacred will be profaned"
Upon her election as prime minister (with just 40% of the vote, her position ensured by the treacherous defection from the Labour cause of the rats now squirming on the Liberal-Democrat ship) she set about "transforming" Britain allright. She privatised Britain's key industries, enriching her friends, and robbing the public of their birthright. When she took over "Financial Services" represented 3% of the British economy; when she left office it was 40%.
She destroyed the coal industry, the steel, car, bus and motor-cycle manufacturing, truck and bus-making, ship-building and print-industry, the railway workshops… she destroyed more than a third of Britain's manufacturing capacity, significantly more than Hitler's Luftwaffe ever achieved.
She did this not just because she prefered the spivs and gamblers in the city -they were her kind of people. But because above all, she hated trades unionism, and was determined to destroy it.
I was a leading member of the Scottish Labour Party at the time she came into office, and a full-time Labour organiser. Scotland was to become an industrial wasteland in the first years of her rule.
I was also, from 1973, a member of the then Transport and General Workers Union, one of her key targets – especially our Docks section.
Importantly, for me, I was an honorary member of the National Union of Mineworkers too.
In all of these capacities I was a front-line short-sword fighter in the rearguard action against Thatcherism.
I fought her at Bathgate, at Linwood, when she was sacking the automotive industry. I fought her at Wapping – every Saturday night when she destroyed the Print workers on behalf of her friend, the organised crime firm owner, Rupert Murdoch. I fought every day of the Miners strike when she destroyed the Miners Union and the communities they represented. I fought her at Timex in Dundee at Massey Ferguson in Kilmarnock, and at the aluminium smelter in Invergordon.
I fought against her poll tax – imposed first in Scotland – as a refusenik of the most iniquitous tax in Britain since mediaeval times, the tax which ended in flames – literally – whilst I was on the platform at Trafalgar Square. And which finally produced her political demise.
And I toured – as a political activist – the desolation in Britain's post-industrial distressed areas which she left behind. The City of London – deregulated by her – boomed whilst the coalfields and steel areas sank into penury. I saw the rusted factories the flooded mines the idle shipyards and the devilish results of millions of newly and enforced idle hands.
I faced her in parliament from 1987 as well, on these and other issues.
You see it wasn't just Britain that Thatcher made bleed.
Her withdrawal of political status from Irish republican prisoners and her brutal, securocratic, militarisation of the situation in the north led to much additional suffering in Ireland.
State collusion in the murder of Catholics became endemic during her rule. And ten young men were starved to death for the restoration of political status, before our eyes in her dungeons. She finally died on the anniversary of their leader, Bobby Sands, being elected to parliament as he lay on his death-bed.
During the Falklands War, she sent hundreds of young Argentinian conscripts to a watery grave when she shot the Argentine warship the Belgrano in the back – as it was speeding away from the conflict. She mercilessly exploited the sacrifice of them, and our own soldiers sailors and airmen, to save her own political skin. A lot of brave men had to leave their guts on Goose Green to keep Thatcher in power.
She pushed her alter ego – the semi-imbecilic US president Ronald Reagan – into Cold War fanaticism and burgeoning expenditure on more and more terrifying weapons – many of them stationed on our soil.
She pushed his successor George Bush Sen into the first Iraq War.
I was there, I saw her lips move, when she described Nelson Mandela as a "common terrorist".
She continued to recognise the genocidal and deposed Pol Pot regime in Cambodia – insisting that Pol Pot was the real and recognised leader of the Cambodians, even as they counted his victims in millions.
And she was the author of the policy of military, political, diplomatic and media support of the Afghan obscurantists who became the Taliban and Al Qaeda. She even produced them on the platform of the Tory Party conference, hailing them as "freedom-fighters".
I was one of the last men standing in parliament opposing this immoral policy of "my enemy's enemy is my friend".
On the eve of the triumph of these "freedom Fighters" I told Thatcher to her face; "You have opened the gates for the barbarians….and a long dark night will now descend upon the people of Afghanistan". I never said a truer word.
I hated Margaret Thatcher for what seems like all my life. I hated her more than I hated anyone – until the mass murderer Tony Blair came along.
It would have been utter hypocrisy for me to have remained silent about her crimes today whilst the political class – including New Labour – poured honeyed words, lies actually, over her blood-spattered record.
I could not do it. I believe I spoke for millions. The wicked witch is dead. Tramp the dirt down.

The Coming Battle for Croydon North
On this day in 1983 the Reverend Jesse Jackson embarked on his first attempt to win the presidency of the United States of America. Before then, it was an impossible dream. Twenty years before, black people in America had to sit at the back of the bus, piss in a separate pot – indeed a separate washroom – eat at a different lunch counter, go to a separate school, almost never go to university.
Black people in America scarcely ever voted, found it hard to get registered to vote. Outright racists, segregationists, like Governor George Wallace were pillars of the Democratic Party. Places like Mississippi were still burning with Ku Klux Klan fiery crosses, strange fruit – lynched black men – still twisted and turned whilst hanging from southern trees.
The Reverend Jackson's electrifying run for president that year began to change all that for good. His three million votes in that campaign and his six million votes in 1988 directly paved the way to the presidency of Barak Obama. After Jesse Jackson – who would have made a better president than Obama – there was no turning back, for African-Americans, for the Democrats, for the United States of America.
Thus his endorsement this very day of Lee Jasper our Respect candidate for the forthcoming Croydon West by-election in South-West London is worth his weight in gold for us. That Jesse Jackson is following our democratic rising against the politics of austerity, neo-liberal economics, imperialism, occupation and war is a compliment in itself. That he rates our candidate Lee Jasper so highly is not only a vindication of our choice but might be worth serious numbers of votes too.
We have been attacked, as always, this time for "targeting" black voters (24% of the total electorate), making a change from the usual charge that we are "targeting" Muslim voters – there are 10,000 of those in the constituency. Except we are being attacked for "targeting" those voters too.
Of course the only sense in which we are "targeting" either is that we are asking them to vote for us.
Sinister, huh?
Every party "targets" the voters they think most likely to respond to their policies, don't they?
So what are our policies, and why would black (Christian, Hindu, Sikh) and Muslim voters be most likely to respond to what we stand for?
Well, Respect is the anti-racist party in Britain. New Labour (renamed by the criminal Tony Blair) the right-wing Conservatives and their peculiar bed-fellows the Liberal-Democrats have all played the racist card in recent years, issuing forth their "dog-whistle" pitch in an attempt to attract the "Little Englander", "hunt the immigrant"," scapegoat the Muslim" section of the electorate and ahem, curry favour with the rabid yellow press which whips such sentiments up.
Respect is the anti-war party in Britain. It emerged out of the great movement against the Afghan and Iraq wars, when millions marched against these catastrophes and were betrayed by their parliamentarians. Respect opposes all British imperial wars. New Labour, the Conservatives, and the Liberal Democrats continue to support what they have now re-named the "mission" in Afghanistan, even though the public in overwhelming number oppose it. Britain has neither the blood or the treasure to waste on the plains of Afghanistan where so many other occupation armies have bled and suffered only later, too much later, been forced to withdraw in ignominy.
Respect is the anti-austerity party in Britain. We reject the idea that the working people and the poor, the unemployed, the pensioners, the young people, should pay the price of capitalist failure and bankers' greed. All the other parties support the savage cuts in public spending and the services the money funds. We say, reverse these cuts; the working people have already paid. Many are suffering from the freezing blasts of austerity. Black and minority ethnic communities are suffering the most.
My victory in the Bradford West by-election six months ago – the biggest swing in British post-war history – when Respect won a landslide victory with a majority in the "safe" Labour seat of over ten thousand votes showed that nowhere is "safe" any more for the parties of austerity and war. That a politics of democratic insurgency has been born, and that Britain is not immune from the radicalisation sweeping mainland Europe, Latin America, the Arab world and beyond.
The attacks upon us – and the campaign hasn't even officially started – are a clear sign that the lamestream political class and their mouthpieces in the media are running scared. As well they might be. When all they have to offer is more blood, more pain, more poverty, why shouldn't they be scared that the people, if offered a better way, might just choose it.

Extradition of Babar Ahmad is a stain on Britain's reputation…
To the best of my knowledge I have never met Babar Ahmad, but I know his father well. Like his local MP, Sadiq Khan now a prominent New Labour frontbench spokesman, I have always been convinced of his innocence on the charges trumped up against him in the United States. And even more convinced that if he did commit any such crimes he must be tried before a jury on them in the country the crimes were allegedly commited in. His own country, Great Britain.
It is simply bamboozling that the British state could think one of its own nationals not worth prosecuting for alleged crimes, yet be prepared to imprison him for eight long years then extradite him on the Banana Republic terms of our one sided treaty, to the US instead.
Worse than bamboozling, it is a mark of shame upon our country.
Like most of the current crimes being carried out by the Cameron gang, this one can be traced back to the Blair-New Labour years.
It was David Blunkett, Tony Blair's then Home Secretary, who secretly, behind parliament's back concluded an extradition treaty with the US that Vanuatu would have turned up its nose at.
In short, Washington need not show a scintilla of evidence to extradite our citizens whilst we would find it harder to climb through the eye of a needle than to succesfully extradite one of their citizens to the UK.
Babar Ahmad is certainly not the first and will not be the last victim of this treaty.
Previous victims though are not Muslims, not facing bogus "terrorism" related charges, not likely to face Guantanamo style prison arrangements, and not likely to be banged up for the rest of their naturals as enemy aliens in the infamous US prison system. Most are not black.
Not that Babar Ahmad is even accused of involvement in terrorism of course, merely that he may (he denies it and I believe him) have, that most nebulous of terms, "glorified" it via a web-site.
His long calvary has not of course been confined to eight years, untried, in sundry UK prisons. The Metropolitan Police have already had to pay him a vast sum in compensation for the horrific torture he suffered at their hands when they dragged him from his bed, his petrified wife lying beside him, and savagely beat and mistreated him, insulted his religion, resulting in injuries more often seen in torture victims abroad.
Will Babar Ahmad receive a fair trial in the United States? If you believe that, you will believe anything.
Will Britain ever expunge this this stain from its hands? To paraphrase Shakespeare "all the perfumes of Arabia will not out that damned spot".

Stress and anxiety are a necessary part of life. They are a part of what motivates us to progress in life, create things, earn a living and ensure our safety. When anxiety becomes overwhelming and constant, it can be harming to our well being as well as our quality of life. Even small every day stresses can wear us down when experienced regularly and constantly.
How the Body Responds to Stress
When the body is challenged by almost anything that happens to us, from getting out of bed in the morning or running up a flight of stairs or having to stand up and give a talk, the brain activates the autonomic nervous system (ANS) This is an involuntary system of nerves which controls and stimulates the output of two hormones, cortisol from the adrenal cortex and adrenalin from the adrenal medulla.
When it comes to managing stress the body will either go into fight, flight or freeze mode.
- Fight Mode: some tend to become angry agitated or keyed up under stress. Living in the mode long term may cause extreme damage to adrenal glands and effect health, state of well being and quality of life. For this type of response, it is helpful to take on stress relief activities that will help calm down the nervous system.
- Flight Mode: Some may tend to become withdrawn, depressed or isolate themselves during times of stress. For this type of response it would be helpful to take on activities the will stimulate and energise the nervous system.
- Freeze Mode: Some may retreat, loose energy and find they unable to move forward during times of stress. For this type of person it would be helpful to take on activities that will recharge and energise the nervous system.
When we activate the fight or flight mode, this is nature's way of preparing us to meet a challenge or a threat. A serious threat such as meeting a man eating tiger stimulates a pattern of physiologic reflexes in your body designed to help us survive.
Our heart rate and blood pressure increase, our muscles tense in anticipation of running or fighting. Our blood is shunted away from your skin and digestive organs into your muscles and clotting is activated so you can stop bleeding quickly in case of injury. Our pupils open wide, and all of our senses are sharpened. Adrenaline and other stress-related hormones are pumped into our bloodstream to provide with extra energy.
All of these biological changes occur for survival – imagine what is going on in the body if you are in constant fight or flight mode.
The most important step you can take to help you move through this period in your life is to talk to someone. Talking about your stress with a compassionate, non judgmental and caring person will make you release the heavy burdens you may be carrying.
Hypnosis and Relaxation is often used to alleviate levels of distress and anxiety. During a deep state of relaxation, certain therapeutic techniques can be used to review reasons for anxiety and reduce their intensity

Compare the 2017 Ford Focus vs the 2017 Volkswagen Golf
2017 Ford Focus
2017 Volkswagen Golf
Compact vehicles bring a lot of style and innovation to the road, so it's important for Aberdeen drivers to make the right choice. When comparing the 2017 Ford Focus vs the 2017 Volkswagen Golf, it's a good idea to pay attention to design, technology, price, and trim level. By doing so, you'll be sure to see that the Ford Focus is the optimal choice.
Keyport drivers love a good deal, so comparing price tags is important when looking at vehicles you want to buy. When drivers compare the 2017 Ford Focus vs the 2017 Volkswagen Golf, the difference in price will certainly stand out. That's because the new Ford model comes in significantly less, as this model has a starting MSRP of $16,775. The Golf, on the other hand, has a starting MSRP of $19,895, which is much higher. In addition, when you compare the other features and amenities you'll get with the Ford, this price difference becomes even more valuable to take advantage of.
It's hard for today's vehicles to stand out when it comes to technology, but the Ford Focus can and does just that. This model comes with the SYNC® 3 technology that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, features that allow you to connect your smartphone directly to your vehicle so you can access information and stream music. In addition, you'll receive a five-year subscription to SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link, which allows you to experience 3D mapping and real-time traffic updates for easier access to your destination.
In addition, you'll also enjoy driver-assist technologies, which can help ensure you have a safe and desirable driving experience through Aberdeen. With these features, you'll enjoy a Reverse Sensing System, BLIS, cross traffic alert, active park assist, and a Lane Keeping System, all of which provide peace of mind and a fun experience on the road.
Should you opt for the Golf, you'll also receive SiriusXM, but only for three months. In addition, the VW Car-Net App-Connect may seem like it's similar to the SYNC technology, but it's less intuitive and isn't compatible with all smartphones, which means you may be out of luck when it comes to accessing music and information in the car.
Exterior Design
Due to their small size, most compact cars don't truly stand out on the Monmouth County roads. However, that's only because the right vehicle hasn't come along yet. The 2017 Ford Focus comes standard with an athletic and dominating design that makes it easy to see on the road. The crisp detail of the body contours coupled with the body kits and lower variances, this sports car like vehicle commands all attention. Every driver will want to explore the rear spoiler, bright-tipped exhaust, 18-inch wheels, and all the attitude that comes along for the ride.
For those drivers still looking at the Golf, the design is nothing to write home about. In fact, this vehicle looks like every other compact car on the road today, which means you wouldn't be able to make heads turn. If being stuck in the bland and boring is good enough for you, then the Golf is the right vehicle. However, if you want to enjoy making jaws drop and driving true innovation, then bring the Ford Focus home today.
Most Aberdeen drivers enjoy having multiple options to choose from. After all, you don't share the same style and taste as your neighbor, so why should you be forced to drive the same car? The 2017 Ford Focus understands that variety is important, which is why drivers can choose among 10 different trims to get the one that matches your must-have list. If you check out the Volkswagen Golf, you'll only find two trim level options on that model, which means you'll be stuck driving the same type of vehicle as everyone else who buys it. When you want to customize your driving experience, pick the Ford Focus.
Drive Your Focus Home from Tom's Ford
Monmouth County drivers get the pleasure of driving exciting vehicles through exciting roads, and in order to do this successful, you must pair yourself with the correct model. Drivers comparing the 2017 Ford Focus vs the 2017 Volkswagen Golf may seem as if both vehicles are interchangeable, but once you look into these models on a deeper level, you can experience what the Focus delivers over the competition. Tom's Ford has a large selection of Focus models to choose from, so be sure to check out our dealership at 200 NJ-35 in Keyport, NJ, or contact us at 732-264-1600 to schedule a test drive or apply for financing.

Two things struck me about tonight's campaigning.
Firstly, despite the freezing weather, icy pavements and sporadic bursts of snow, twenty activists turned out on a Thursday night to campaign for the Conservative Party. This is not a sign of a demoralised Party or one in retreat. Even in their strongest areas of Chatham, at the height of their popularity, Labour could not have mustered such numbers.
Secondly, our core vote is far stronger than I (or anyone else) was anticipating. Yes, of course we are taking a knock; we are mid-term of a government which is making some difficult decisions. Some former Conservative pledges have gone soft, a few say they might not vote, but this is all within the range of fluctuation one might expect at this stage of the electoral cycle. My group of five must have knocked on 250 doors tonight, we did not find one former Conservative pledge who had switched to Labour. Sorry Comrades, there is no popular uprising for Red Ed among the ranked masses of post war semi-detached Tonbridgians.
What we need to remember is last time these seats were contested was in 2009, when Labour and Gordon Brown were at their political nadir. We were 40%+ in the polls and Labour was at 28%. In such conditions Labour lost seats which they have never lost before. There are now Conservative councillors in areas which we did not win even in the 1983 post Falkland election. It is part of the natural political balancing that many of these seats will revert; changes in differential turnout alone will account for many such loses. Labour cannot simply win back the seats they should never have lost and claim it a victory.
On the evidence I saw in Tonbridge tonight, Labour's cock might not be crowing as loudly as they hope it will on Thursday 2 May.

Giving of our substance to others (almsgiving) is a complicated issue. One subject that frequently comes up (among those of us that think and talk about these things) is the issue of giving to people begging on the side of the street.
There's a host of reasons that this particular situation causes problems, though I think most of the reasons articulated are merely justifications for an emotional response. It's natural to not want to give what we have to others, especially when our knee-jerk reaction places the potential recipient in some sort of "other" category. When we see another human as part of some category that we don't associate with ourselves (such as nationality, ethnic background, age, socioeconomic status, education level, preference in music, stature, relationship status, dominant hand, hair color, etc.) it's easy to slip into a less empathetic state.
I suspect that our drop in empathy, rather than well placed logic, spawns most of the reasons people cite for not giving to those who ask. So to test that hypothesis, I tried to look up as many of the scriptures I could that directly addressed giving to the poor (aka almsgiving). Here's a summary of what I think I found:
Here's how I came to these conclusions:
Valid Reasons to Give
Here are the reasons I came to with some of the scriptures I figured supported the assertion.
We're asked to open our hands to the poor
There are lots of scriptures that apply to this, but one of the earliest comes from Deuteronomy 15:7-8:
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of they gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from they poor brother:
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
I think it's a completely valid reason to give to others for the sole purpose of obeying God's commandments, and this and other scriptures make it fairly clear that God expects us to make it happen.
Avoid curses and have sufficient
This thought comes primarily from Proverbs 28:27:
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
I suppose giving out of pure love and charity is probably superior than simply wanting to avoid curses, but the fact that this verse is put in a positive context implies that giving for this reason is acceptable.
Walk guiltless
This principle comes from a chapter in the Book of Mormon that will pop up quite a bit in this post. King Benjamin, a Nephite ruler around 120BC gave an epic parting speech to his subjects designed to bring his people closer to God. He talks extensively about caring for others, and includes this point in Mosiah 4:26:
…that ye may walk guiltless before God–I would that ye should impart of your substance to the poor, every man according to that which he hath, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and administering to their relief, both spiritually and temporally, according to their wants.
Our number 1 goal in this life should be to walk guiltless before God, and imparting to the poor here appears to be a necessary step toward success.
Recognition that we're unprofitable to our God anyway
This may seem like an odd reason to give, but it operates as an anti-negative. It seems to be a common tendency for people to think that others should earn what they receive, but if we can recognize that we don't do the same, perhaps we can have a bit more empathy for others and treat the beggar like our brother. As stated in Mosiah 4:17-19:
Perhaps thou shalt say: This man has brought upon himself his misery; therefore I will stay my hand…
But I say unto you, O man, whosoever doeth this the same hath great cause to repent…
For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind?
Once we realize that we are also beggars it makes a bit more sense to give to others. After all, we haven't really earned what we have ourselves, so it's a bit odd to hold others to higher expectations.
Invalid Reasons to Give
There's only one invalid reason to give that I could find, and it has to do with where your heart is while you are giving.
To be seen of men
If you're giving just so you can get the satisfaction of other people thinking you're a great person, you're doing it wrong. As Matthew 6:1 says:
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
The verses that follow in the chapter expound on this point, emphasizing the importance of doing good for the right reasons.
Valid Reasons Not to Give
As with the invalid reasons to give, there wasn't as much here. However, the two reasons I could identify are fairly significant.
Having nothing to give
Fortunately, if you have nothing to give, you seem to be off the hook from giving physical items. You're not off the hook spiritually though, as King Benjamin pointed out in Mosiah 4:24-25:
…all you who deny the beggar, because ye have not; I would that ye say in your hearts that: I give not because I have not, but if I had I would give.
And now, if ye say this in your hearts ye remain guiltless, otherwise ye are condemned; and your condemnation is just for ye covet that which ye have not received.
Coveting is still a sin, even when you're poor. God is more concerned about where our hearts go than where our money does, so having this sort of charity for others is important, even in destitution.
Having a better, wiser system
This idea also comes from King Benjamin in Mosiah 4:27:
And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength.
This can have multiple relevant interpretations, such as not giving more than are capable of giving without putting yourself at risk. It also suggests working hard at providing for others in the most efficacious ways possible. To be clear, this isn't a valid reason to not give at all, but a valid reason to not give to a random person who meet on the street. To avoid giving to a street beggar in a valid way under this scripture, it requires giving substantially to well vetted systems to provide for others.
This may be in the form of giving to charities, or paying fast offerings (as we do in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons)). It may come by helping the recipient overcome their obstacles to self-reliance. Whatever the form, it is clear that it necessarily means an active involvement in such practices, or you would be better off giving to the street beggar.
I suspect that many people that worry about "enabling" the beggar's behavior will fixate on this point. If you got some sort of emotional response while reading this, or feel that you're not justified or validated in your decisions to avoid giving, then you should probably know that you're feeling the "confirmation bias" right now. This part said what you wanted to hear–the thing that protects you from needing to change–but doing so would ignore the bigger picture. Hopefully this will become abundantly clear in the next section.
Invalid Reasons Not to Give
Scriptures were a bit heavier on this subject again, further suggesting that we should err on the side of giving.
Worry about enabling beggar behavior
God doesn't seem to be too concerned with His children enabling beggar habits in others when it comes to almsgiving. This idea seemed to fall under the category of passing judgment on others inappropriately. Remember the verses listed above for recognizing that we're unprofitable and that we're all beggars. King Benjamin also followed this up in Mosiah 4:22 with
And if ye judge the man who putteth up his petition to you for your substance that he perish not, and condemn him, how much more just will be your condemnation for withholding your substance, which doth not belong to you but to God, to whom also your life belongeth; and yet ye put up no petition, nor repent of the thing which thou has done.
I don't think God puts us in the position to judge as to whether the recipient will just stay a lazy freeloader if we give him or her some help, I think God just tells us to help, avoid passing judgement, and recognize that we have a similar relationship with our Heavenly Father.
On a related note, many of those that claim that giving to those on the street will just enable their behavior often seem to use this as an excuse to do nothing, rather than to try to provide help in better ways. Very few of us are giving enough to make this justification, so it's probably best to err on the side of giving.
Concern about criminal history
First, I think this is a weird argument at its face. Some have suggested that having a criminal past disqualifies a street beggar from receiving assistance. Although I don't think having limited options justifies delinquency, I don't know why we would expect a person who lives in a system that inherently stacks the deck against that person to adhere to it. I think it's easy for those of us with sufficient privilege to pursue our greatest dreams with some chance of success to forget that many people are born with capacities and circumstances that will ensure that individual's failure in certain pursuits. I know that we often think that the "American Dream" of completely fluid social status mobility for all people in all situations is a reality, but I think there's too much evidence to the contrary.
With that in mind, I would expect that most people that have a decent chance at doing what they most want to do will follow that path. I don't anticipate that many people grow up dreaming of living on the side of the road or relying on others for their substance, so although the individuals may have made some poor decisions to get there, I think there's more at work than meets the eye as to their full background, whether or not it involves criminal activity.
So to me, historical criminal activity is not a relevant attribute when it comes to whether or not to give to another. As Mosiah 4:19-20 said:
For behold, are we not all beggars?…
And behold, even at this time, ye have been calling on his name, and begging for a remission of your sins. And has he suffered that ye have begged in vain? Nay; he has poured out his Spirit upon you, and has caused that your hearts should be filled with joy…
It just isn't really our place to judge another's worthiness to receive.
They mistreated you
When I talk about mistreatment, I mean multiple things. This could be outright theft such as in Les Miserables when Jean Valjean steals the silverware from the priest and ends up being given the candles as well. It could also be the simple act of deception, where someone is begging on the street and pretending to be poor when they aren't really. Christ told us in Matthew 5:39:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
It's not our job to be concerned about whether the recipient is stealing from us, it's just our place to do our best to be Christlike.
Thoughts Overall
You'll notice a heavier amount of content in the sectors for "Valid Reasons to Give" and "Invalid Reasons Not to Give." To me, this suggests that we should err on the side of giving, even if it means giving in an inefficient method.
There's also a lack of emphasis on the results of the giving. Christ even explicitly states in Mark 14:7 that
…ye have the poor with you always
and in Deuteronomy 15:11 we read
For the poor shall never cease out of the land…
As such, I think God is more concerned with ensuring that our hearts don't get set on riches and that we concern ourselves more with caring for our brothers and sisters than for ourselves. It may be argued that the scriptures focus on the giver rather than on the receiver simply because the audience will primarily consist of givers, but I still think we should be erring on the giving side. After all, God Himself can care for the needs if necessary. Christ also tells us in Matthew 6:28-30:
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Do your best, and leave the results to God.
Keep seeking truth.

Odafe Atogun is an Edo-born Nigerian writer and author of two outstanding novels, 'Taduno's Song' and 'Wake Me When I'm Gone'- both published in different languages including, Spanish, Turkish and Italian. Atogun spoke with Peter Uzoho at the maiden edition of Kaduna Book and Arts Festival held recently in Kaduna State
Taduno's Song, your first book, has featured in two book festivals. One was at the Ake Arts and Book Festival, last year in Abeokuta, and just recently, at the Kaduna Book and Arts Festival (KABAFEST). So tell us more about the book?
Taduno's Song showcases the power of the Arts in society. It is the story of an iconic musician, who in the beginning sang about peaceful co-existence in society – about love, about peace. A time came when the country was under a ruthless dictatorship and he began to use his music as a weapon against the government. He used his music to condemn tyranny, corruption and many of the ills bedeviling his society. Of course, that got him into trouble with the government, so he goes into exile. In exile, he receives a letter from his girlfriend, telling him about the unwholesome state of things in the country – how things were sliding out of control. He comes back to the country where he is involved in a duel with the tyrant, the dictatorial President at the time. So basically, it's the struggle of this musician called Taduno to emancipate his country from a ruthless dictatorship.
What inspired the story?
The story was inspired by the life of the late Fela Kuti – what he did with music. I would say that Fela Kuti was a consistent campaigner for the rights of the downtrodden through his music. He attacked the government using his music as a weapon. I've come to realise that the place of the arts in our society is not being fully explored. It's a very powerful tool that can help advance society; that can really move society forward. So I saw the need to write this story to create that awareness – that the power of the arts is something that we need to use more in trying to elevate ourselves as a people or society.
When and where was Taduno's Song published?
It was published on August 4, 2016 by Canongate Books in the UK and has since been published in the U.S. by Penguin Random House – the biggest publisher in the world. It has been translated into German, Italian, Turkish and other languages. The Nigerian edition was published late last year by Ouida Books.
At what point in your life did you start writing?
I've been writing all my life but I did not take writing seriously in the beginning. I would call myself a lazy writer – yes I'm a lazy writer. I've been lazy most of the time and that's why I'd not gotten a publishing deal before now. But at a point in my life, some years back, I decided to give it my all. I started writing seriously, finished my first book and, fortunately, got a publishing deal that secured the world rights. So at that point, I decided to go full-time. But writing has always been in me; even as a child I've always had this love for literature. However, it's one thing to be talented and it's another thing to be hard working. So, given the success I have achieved so far, I have resolved to be more focused.
How do you feel being a writer?
It liberates me because I'm able to express myself; I'm living my dream and it's so good to be able to contribute your piece to society – to the elevation of society. Arts is about elevating society, it's not just to entertain. So contributing my little bit through my art is something that is very joyful, and I'm deeply grateful for it.
How would you rate the reception of 'Taduno's Song' by the readers?
That's for the reviewers and critics to decide. But for a book to have been published in over six countries, that tells you something. Like I said earlier, it was published last year in the UK and has since been translated into three languages – German, Italian, Turkish, and other rights have been negotiated but three foreign languages are already out in the market. So that tells you the potentials of the book. You can't be a full time writer if your book is not doing well. I mean, you need to survive; you need to pay your bills. So for me to go full-time that tells you a story.
Writing is one art that is highly time-consuming, and you are a family man – you have your wife and children needing your attention. So how do you juggle between them?
It's like the normal person that goes to work every day. You go to work; you come back to your family. So it's the same thing, you have to work. As a writer, the time you appropriate for your work is not different from a doctor, a teacher or an engineer. I'm just like every other normal human being.
What is your biggest challenge as a writer?
To be very candid, my biggest challenge now is the fact that I need to take my work more seriously. There are so many distractions in the world – from social, to family, to economic. You encounter so many distractions. But these are not peculiar to me as a writer. It's something that affects everyone, and I just need to rise above the distractions to dedicate more time to my art.
Would you love to see your son or daughter wake up one day to say he or she wants to be a writer?
I don't see any problem with that. As a parent you encourage your children to aspire to be the best they can be. You encourage and support them.
Apart from Fela Kuti, who was of influence to you, what other influence do you have, particularly in the art of writing?
I have many influences. There is Milan Kundera, the Czech-born French writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Columbian; John Maxwell "J.M." Coetzee, a South African; our own Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, and so many other writers. But my biggest influence is society. Every artist derives his or her inspiration from society. It's the society that provides us with the materials we use for our art. Be you a painter, a musician, a writer, you get all your materials from society. So for me, society is my greatest influence because without society we will not have art in the first place.
Your second book 'Wake Me When I'm Gone' has just been published in the UK. Tell us about it?
To put it very simply, it is a story about grief, love, motherhood and breaking the rules. It is the story of the triumph of a single mother who stood up against evil traditions in a typical African village.
Finally, Book Buzz Foundation headed by Ms Lola Shoneyin has been consistent in organising Book and Art Festivals in Nigeria where established and budding artists across Africa and beyond converge to dissect societal issues. What is your take on this?
What we are witnessing is a revolution. And it is good that we all have the opportunity to bea part of it one way or the other. Initiatives such as this promote the collective development of our minds as a society.

The Cat's Diary:
Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe... for now.

Late one night, a burgler broke into a house. As he tiptoed through the living room, he heard a voice say: "Jesus is watching you!"
Nothing happened, so the burgler crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you" - said the voice.
The burgler stopped dead in his tracks. He looked around. In a dark corner he spotted a bird cage with a parrot in it.
"Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" he asked.
"Yes" said the parrot.
The burgler breathed a sigh of relief, then asked the parrot, "What's your name?"
"Clarence" answered the bird. "That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burgler. "What idiot named you Clarence?"
The parrot's answer: "The same idiot who named the Bulldog, Jesus."

It is a continuous process for us to take care of our health while maintaining our love for food. Now, you must be wondering in all these where the aspect or prostate Massage in Dubai fits in? Well, that's what the article is about Prostate Massage. Read on to know more.

Before knowing about the benefits of prostate Massage in Dubai, let us tell you what is a prostate. It is the walnut-sized gland that is located at the base of your reproductive organ. It is the gland that stores the semen. During the massage, the stagnant semen in the prostate is released offering multiple benefits. Without proper care, you can face different problems including infections.
Here is a brief sketch of the benefits for you to understand this form of massage in a better way.

- With help of prostate Massage in Dubai, you can regulate and increase the blood flow to the prostate. It brings down your chances of impotency.
- One of the problems that can be found in the male population is enlarged prostate. In that situation, one faces issues during urination which in turn can cause a bladder infection. The massage lowers down the risk of getting it.

The Truth About High Bandwidth Hosting
With websites as one of the most powerful and efficient ways of mass communication, there might be a few problems you encounter while hosting your site. A good server host is very difficult to find and you need to look for things such as support offered, uptime, bandwidth and easiness to use before picking a hosting service.
You must use high bandwidth hosting to protect your websites from running out of bandwidth, chances are if your site goes down then most visitors will probably not return as no one likes to see sites that are down. Although you can get web hosting cheap, you should still be looking for a reliable high bandwidth hosting company.
Hosting videos and images with a poor hosting account will do nothing to please your visitors. Get high bandwidth hosting and make your images and videos instantly load. Thus making yours visitors satisfied and they will likely come back time and time again. If you want to run a good site then make sure you get the best hosting available.
If you use up the entire bandwidth allotted for a month, then you are in trouble. Before you choose a host that will give you access to high bandwidth, make sure that you do a detailed study on their features. Many hosts give you attractive offers in the first few months but only to put you in trouble later on. So make sure you read all the clauses correctly.
Compare the markets when choosing a good reliable hosting provider and that they can offer technical support as if any of your sites go down then they can quickly fix the problem without any of your visitors getting annoyed and moving to another website. You should also look to find a host that offers their support for free, most do but there may be one that charges.
Look for testimonials and see what sites are currently being hosted there. This may prevent trouble in the future.
Getting a high bandwidth hosting account is vital for the success of your website.

The Russian military insisted today that it had thwarted a rebel attempt to break out of the besieged city of Grozny and would soon capture it.
Defense Minister Igor D. Sergeyev, who visited Russian troops near Grozny today, said that 586 separatists had been killed trying to escape and that the Russian advance on Grozny had accelerated.
With virtually all of the Western press barred from the battle zones in Chechnya, however, there was no way to confirm the Russian assertions. In addition, the Russian military's account was contradicted by Bislan Gantamirov, a pro-Moscow Chechen paramilitary leader who has been fighting alongside Russian troops in Grozny. He said many rebels had managed to flee Grozny.
''Over the last three days about 3,500 fighters have left,'' Mr. Gantamirov told reporters in the Chechen town of Urus-Martan. ''I cannot say how many are still in Grozny, but those who were able to leave have left, and the last group left today.''
The rebels' fate is one of the larger mysteries in the four-month war. Even judged from afar, it seems clear that the fighting within Grozny has reached a turning point and that the Russians finally appear to be on the verge of taking the city.Continue reading the main story
Grozny, however, is a ruin. Its capture is more of symbolic than strategic importance. By planting the Russian flag in Grozny, the Russian military will re-establish control over the scene of some of its greatest humiliations during the 1994-1996 war.
But the capture will not end the fighting. The rebels almost certainly never planned to keep the city in any case. Their strategy was probably to inflict heavy losses on the Russians and then flee to fight another day.
The main aim of the rebel attacks in recent days has been to blast an escape route through the Russian blockade of the city. According to NTV, an independent television network, the rebel assault began with 800 separatists leaving their settlements in Chechnya and assembling near Alkhan-Kala, just southwest of Grozny.
Their goal was to help establish a corridor so that their comrades in the city could escape. At the same time, rebels in the city were fighting to break out.
A Russian minefield caused some rebel casualties. And Russian troops eventually fought their way into the center of Alkhan-Kala.
The Russian military said it had confirmed that Shamil Basayev, the Chechen warlord, had been wounded by a mine while trying to flee Grozny and had lost a leg. Mr. Gantamirov said he, too, had heard that Mr. Basayev was wounded in the leg, but he did not say how serious the injury was.
But the Russian military did not capture Mr. Basayev, and his whereabouts were unknown.
The rebels have also said that several of their senior commanders were killed in the attempt to escape Grozny, including Lecha Dudayev, the Grozny mayor and nephew of the first Chechen president.
While acknowledging that they have suffered significant losses, the rebels insisted that they would carry on the fight.
''We have conducted a tactical withdrawal from Grozny similar to the tactical withdrawal of 1996,'' they said in a statement on their Web site (www.qoqaz.net) ''We pledge, however, to return.''Continue reading the main story

In February 2017, I was told Butterscotch (Butters) my 8-year-old beauty only had "a few weeks to a few months" to live. My Vet thought she may have a tumor next to her anal gland and referred me to an Oncologist. Not only did Butters have a tumor but it had spread to her lymph nodes as well. I was told a $6000 surgery (!?!) was Butters' only hope. I wanted an alternative and was referred to Holistic Animal Care Shoppe by Butters' Reiki person to try Azmira's Grapeseed Extract. I was told about Azmira's Blood & Lymph D'Tox as well and the combination of the two - plus the Reiki administered by Sharon Cohen - I feel, has greatly prolonged and improved Butters' quality of life. It's a year later, and Butters is doing great! And she doesn't even mind the added supplements in her food.

Have you ever wanted to travel the world and immerse yourself in a new culture?

Orientation familiarizing you with your chosen study abroad program can be sent in video format to you. Your mandatory one-on-one counselor advisement to confirm you're 100% ready to journey to a new country for a couple of weeks to a couple of months (depending on the program you choose) can be done through a Skype session with your counselor. You can even fly out from whatever airport is most convenient for you!
Study abroad programs through USM are meant for college students, not for super rich people. That means that these life-changing programs are affordable for any student.

R.L. Stine's Goosebumps
Contributor: Priyanka Thupili
Like many children, my first reading experiences were dominated by illustrations plastered across pages and the captions that accompanied them. As a four-year-old, I relished flipping through pages and wreaking havoc upon them with the scribbles of crayons and whatever instruments I had access to at the time.
Not too long afterwards, I progressed to books with fewer pictures, if any. Once I turned six, I was rather proud of the fact that I was now civilized enough to stop scribbling in books. Apparently, so were my parents; this was around the time my mother introduced me to the local public library. We had established the habit of a weekly excursion to this oddly quiet place, and as I learned to read faster, I grabbed more and more books. When I was a six-year-old, the first few of these books that legitimately had me hooked were from R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" series. Read more
