About Us
We have been breeding Champion Alaskan Malamutes
for over 30 years--we average about one litter a year. We are members
of the Alaskan Malamute Club of America and the Southern California
Alaskan Malamute Club.
We own and operate a small boarding kennel in the Simi Valley. It helps support our "rescue habit!" Visit our Double T Kennels website.
This is not a breed for everyone--Malamutes have a pack mentality which presents unique problems since most people purchase a dog either as a family companion or as a family guardian. Malamutes, are companions but as part of a pack, which means you must be in charge. If you are not the pack leader, then you run the risk of your Malamute looking at you as if you are subordinate in their hierarchy. That can be very confusing for the dog.
There are some breeders who breed dogs for all the wrong reasons.
They usually sell to people who are buying a malamute for all the
wrong reasons! It's the dog who pays the ultimate price--death. We
began rescuing malamutes because the majority of the mals in shelters
are good dogs who came from bad owners. They have been neglected, left
intact, never trained or simply put into a yard and ignored. We
evaluate temperament, then spend time teaching the basics of living in a
world with humans. Being an intelligent breed, the dogs quickly realize
what is expected of them.

Hillary Clinton plans to give Donald Trump oral sex on his first day in office should he win the upcoming election, it has been revealed.
The Democratic candidate aims to get Trump impeached by performing fellatio on the newly appointed President of the United States.
A hacked email entitled 'The Nuclear Option (CC: Big Bill)' detailed a scheme for a Democratic intern to plant a Trump cigar case containing a hidden camera in the Oval Office and live broadcast the act on Snapchat.
When asked to comment, Trump was characteristically to the point.
"When women like her open their mouths, that's when the trouble starts."

The new year finds me working on updating our list of Christian Festivals and venues. As always, there are changes. Some ministries close while new ones start up. Over the years I have watched many ministries shut down and it is always heartbreaking, not as much for the closing but for the people involved. They almost always experience a deep sense of loss and frustration while asking, "What did I do wrong? What could have been done better or differently? Why did this happen?" Certainly it is not wrong to ask these kinds of questions, the answers may help us grow and do even better next time. But inevitably, in our humanness, the judging and blaming begins. We need to engage in healthy critique of our own lives but we also need to stop judging and blaming ourselves and one another. Ultimately, we must acknowledge that God is in control and He is probably up to something that we simply do not understand yet.
Here's an excerpt from The Christian Musicians Devotional, to help us get a better perspective on unsuccessful ministries:
Unsuccessful Ministry
"What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?"
Romans 8:31
We usually interpret this verse to mean that since God is on my side, I am going to win. But that simply is not what we experience. We do not always win. Does that mean that God is not always on our side? Was He on our side when we won and not on our side when we lost? Do we always win when we do everything right and lose when we do anything wrong? Of course not. So, we must not look at every unsuccessful ministry, bands that break up, labels that fail, or venues that close as God abandoning the ministry because the people involved fell short.
This verse shifts our focus from us and our side to God and His ministry. When we are aligned with what God is doing, when we do not have our own side, no one can be against us. They attempt to stand against God. But God will always win. In other words, people are used by God when cooperating with His will, or used by God unwillingly to accomplish His will. Either way, His ministry is going to be done. So perhaps when a ministry appears to be unsuccessful it would be more appropriate to ask, "What is God doing?" than to start by judging the people.
We strive to do effective ministry throughout our life, but being part of a ministry is not the most important thing. What is important, what cannot be changed by outside influences, is that we cannot be separated from the love of God. It's not all about winning or losing at ministry, or how we do ministry, or even which ministry we are currently doing. It is all about who we are in ministry with—God. God does not remove the challenges and battles of ministry from us. But, our success, our victory is this: we are loved by God through it all.
Prayer: Father, give me discernment to know what You are doing.

WWE: 5 New Rivalries That Would Make SmackDown More Interesting And Fun To WatchJune 5, 2011
WWE: 5 New Rivalries That Would Make SmackDown More Interesting And Fun To Watch
Not so long ago, great rivalries like Batista vs. Undertaker, CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy, and Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho led us to think Smackdown was the best show.
Since the draft, SmackDown hasn't been the best show, and except for Christian vs Randy Orton, they don't have many good things going for them right now.
Not to worry, I've got a couple of rivalries that would make Smackdown more innovative, interesting, and fun to watch again.
Feel free to leave a comment below on what you think of my slideshow.
I hope you enjoy.
5. Cody Rhodes vs. Kane
Rhodes is definitely on the verge of becoming a top heel on Smackdown, but I feel that he still needs to earn some credibility.
Even though Rhodes vs. Mysterio was great, I think he needs one more good rivalry before he becomes the No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.
I say Rhodes takes on the big red monster himself, Kane!
Since he's undashing now, he would cut a promo and insult Kane by saying that even though he's still undashing, he could never be as undashing as Kane. He would then go on to put a paper bag on his face.
This would result in a great rivalry between the two and make Rhodes an even bigger star while furthering Kane's legacy in the WWE.
4. Ezekiel Jackson vs. Sheamus
This could be a battle of Behemoths.
Ezekiel Jackson would be the rising star on SmackDown, and Sheamus wants his spotlight, so he would attack him numerous times during his matches and backstage.
Then, on another episode of SmackDown, they would brawl all around the arena and nearly destroy each other before officials come out to break up the fight.
Finally, they could settle their issues in a Last Man Standing match at a future pay-per-view.
Needless to say, if executed properly, this rivalry would make the future bright for both of these talents.
3. Ted Dibiase vs. John Morrison
When Jo-Mo returns from his injury, WWE needs to move him to SmackDown.
Since Christian's heel turn, SmackDown is in desperate need of a #2 babyface, and Jo-Mo can definitely fill Christian's void.
I don't really see any storyline to help establish this rivalry, but perhaps they could face off in a series of matches to see who's the future of SmackDown.
Anyways, if this would occur, they could probably put on great matches, and the rivalry would give both competitors some credibility.
2. Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett
The Corre would once again take over SmackDown as a dominating force, and after destroying everyone in their path, they take on the World Heavyweight Champion himself, Randy Orton.
Orton would say that SmackDown is his show and that nobody's taking over, and that he'll take them all out like he did to CM Punk and the new Nexus.
Orton would be wrong and The Corre would prove to be stronger then ever before with a new member (Skip Sheffield) by their side.
Finally, Wade Barrett (The Untitled Leader of the Corre) would face Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship.
After a few great matches between the two, hopefully Barrett is able to beat Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship and win his first World Championship in the WWE.
1. Chris Jericho vs. Christian
This rivalry is definitely one a majority of WWE fans would want to see.
I see Jericho returning to WWE in the near future as the charismatic and talkative babyface we all know and love.
So, this is how I see the rivalry happening:
After quite some time, Christian turns into the next heel Chris Jericho. He turns sad, egotistic, and starts blaming the fans for all of his problems. Then, when Jericho returns, he tells him that acting like Christian isn't worth it in the long-run, and that he should change his ways.
Christian, of course, doesn't listen and instead feels that Jericho's a coward and slaps him. In retaliation, Jericho costs Christian an opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Obviously, this would result in an incredible rivalry between the two and hopefully set up a match at Wrestlemania 28.

It has recently come to light that Canada Life had provided its European counterpart with substantial funding in an attempt to expand the latter's finances in preparation for paying back borrowings.
The counterpart, Irish Life, received €200 million in cash earlier this year, according to company filings. The documents said that the funding was made in anticipation of the redemption of Irish Life's subordinated debt, which has since been completed.
In 2013, Irish Life was purchased by Great-West Lifeco (parent company of Canada Life) from the Irish government for €1.3 billion. Great-West then combined its Canada Life business with Irish Life. The European subsidiary generated €54 million in profit according to the group's first quarter earnings this year, marking a 44% year-over-year increase, The Sunday Times reported.
Great-West Lifeco said that the integration of the Irish business had resulted in €5 million of "annualized synergies" to date.

Besides beer pong being a popular game, what other drinking games are out there? College student here going to a big party.
Know any drinking games for college?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
Hmm... Maybe ring of fire? It's a card game and it can be entertaining as everyone tries to remember the rules when they're drunk, each card means something different.
Basically, you get an empty cup in the middle of the table, and arrange the deck of cards in a circle around it, with no gaps between the cards. The game is basically like Jenga - you have to take a card without breaking the circle. The card that you get dictates what happens that round:
A- Waterfall – Everyone must keep drinking until the person who picked the card stops. So who knows how long you will be going for!
2- is Choose – You can choose someone to drink
3- is Me – You must drink
4- is Whore – All girls drink
5- Thumb Master- When you put your thumb on the table everyone must follow and whomever is last must drink. you are the thumb master till someone else picks a five.
6- is Dicks – All guys drink
7- is Heaven – Point your finger in the sky, whoever is last must drink
8- is Mate – Choose someone to drink with you
9- Rhyme – Pick a word such a dog and the person next to you must rhyme with dog, like log, and it goes to the next person and the next, in a circle, until someone messes up and he or she will have to drink
10- Categories- Pick a category such a football and you go in a circle and everyone has to say a word that fits with football such as: touchdown, field goal, USC. Whoever messes up, drinks.
Jack- Make a Rule – You can make up any rule that everyone has to follow, such as you can only drink with your right hand. Everyone (including you) must follow this rule for the whole entire game and if you disobey you must drink.
Queen- Questions – Go around in a circle and you have to keep asking questions to each other. Doesn't matter what the question is, as long as its a question. Whoever messes up and does not say a question, drinks.
King- Pour!- You must pour a little of your drink into the cup that is in the middle of the table. Whomever picks up the LAST king must drink the whole cup, which could be filled with different drinks, so who knows how bad it could taste!
It's kinda complicated but it's fun :)00|00|0
What Guys Said 1
Well my friends and I always enjoy sitting outside around a roaring fire, sipping a nice glass of scotch and talking about our lives while smoking a couple fine cigars. Thats always a good time, and you dont wake up screwed over the next day from getting smashed that night. Not a game but it is certainly a mature and responsible way to handle alcohol.
We are also all seniors in college.00|00|0

Chris Morgan is Associate Dean of the School of Christian Ministries and Professor of Theology at California Baptist University. He is author or editor of several books, and it's the last of these that we discuss below:
- Christopher W. Morgan, Jonathan Edwards and Hell (Fearn, Scotland: Mentor, 2004).
- Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson, eds., Hell under Fire: Modern Scholarship Reinvents Eternal Punishment (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2004).
- Christopher W. Morgan and B. Dale Ellenburg, James: Wisdom for the Community (Focus on the Bible; Fearn, Scotland: Christian Focus, 2008).
- Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson, eds., Faith Comes by Hearing: A Response to Inclusivism (Downers Grove: IVP, 2008).
- Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson, eds., Suffering and the Goodness of God (Theology in Community; Wheaton: Crossway, 2008).
- Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson, What Is Hell? (Basics of the Faith Series; Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R Publishing, 2010). (Cf. my summary.)
- Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson, eds., The Glory of God (Theology in Community; Wheaton: Crossway, 2010). (Cf. my interview with Chris on this book.)
- Christopher W. Morgan, A Theology of James: Wisdom for God's People (Explorations in Biblical Theology; Phillipsburg NJ: P&R Publishing, 2010).
I recently mentioned six books "that preachers, teachers, and students will consult first and with most profit when studying the book of James." Now I would expand that list to include Chris's two books (#s 3 and 8 above).
1. Your first sentence in the book is this: "Non-Christians do not read the Bible; they read Christians" (p. xiii). What do you mean by that, and what does this have to do with the theology of James?
My point is that our lifestyle as the church communicates God to the world. When the church embodies love, holiness, truth, unity, and consistency, people will receive a viable portrait of God. When the world sees the church as filled with pettiness, division, and self-promotion, unbelievers' understanding of God is inevitably distorted.
James forthrightly calls for consistency in the church. Such church consistency is crucial for our effective communication of God, and thus effective mission.
2. You mention that James helps us deal with a tension many pastors feel. What is that tension, and what do you mean by it?
Many of us as pastors and church leaders are inspired by knowing what the church can and should be. We invest our time, our prayers, our jobs—our very selves—in hopes of seeing the church become what God intends. Plus, the more we study and teach the Bible, the more we realize how important the church is. God elected it, Jesus bought it, and the Spirit indwells it. One day Jesus will present the church to himself as a perfectly beautiful bride. We also begin to notice that the church of the New Testament is imperfect, wedged historically in the eschatological already and not yet, and with power, personality, and cultural struggles. Yet in the New Testament we also see the church as passionate about the gospel, serious about obeying Christ, diligent to take the gospel to all nations, generous in meeting the needs of the poor, and concerned to seek unity, even in the midst of some major Jewish and Gentile cultural clashes.
However, the more we serve the Lord in churches, the more we come to grips with another reality, this one a bit disheartening—most individual churches are not what they are supposed to be. These covenant communities do not exude the level of passion for Christ, genuine love for others, servant spirit, or ministry to the hurting that we expect. Many churches exchange God's global purpose of making disciples of all nations for being keepers of the status quo. Much of their leadership, budgets, and programs are centered on themselves.
The irony is that we often encounter these two truths at the very same time. The more we grow in our theology, the more value we place on the church. Yet the older we get and the more experience we have in serving churches, the more problems we see in the church. Biblically minded church leaders always have—and until Jesus' returns, always will—sense this tension between a high view of the church and a realistic view of churches. In fact, it is when pastors or church leaders stop feeling this tension that danger lurks. That is likely a sign of lowering their standards, naivety, or disillusionment. The churches we serve are not the way they are supposed to be, but this should not lead us to despair but to serve the Lord, who can strengthen them.
And if we understand the Bible and its teachings related to the already and not yet, then this tension should not come as a surprise. It necessarily exists because the kingdom has come in Christ, but has not been fully realized. The church, as the eschatological covenant community, is to bear the marks of the kingdom, yet will not do so perfectly until the grand finale of history when the church is presented to Christ.
The epistle of James bears witness to this tension. This letter is written to real-life churches with real-life problems. Its message needs to be heard by churches today.
James, a key leader in the Jerusalem church, writes to help churches composed of Jewish Christians who are struggling with oppression from without and strife from within. Some of them also slip easily into being religious without genuinely following Christ. Throughout his letter James counters these problems and more as he offers wisdom for consistency in the covenant community, the church. And James addresses these challenges with a robust theology. While many think of the epistle of James as loaded with exhortations—and it is—it is much more than that. James offers pastoral theology that speaks to the needs of churches, and does so grounded upon a systematic theology. It is theology applied.
3. How would you summarize the message/theology of James?
I suggest that we see three central orienting concerns (consistency, wisdom, and community) together, and that we view the central burden of James as pastoral. James writes this letter to these churches to offer wisdom for the purpose of consistency in the communities. What do I mean by this?
First, by "wisdom for consistency in the community," I mean that the letter of James has roots in the Old Testament wisdom tradition and seeks to dispense wisdom and its practical results. This approach to wisdom is at the heart of James. James applies the truths about God and covenant faithfulness to such daily issues as trials, temptations, words, wealth, obedience, planning, and brevity of life. In doing so, James stresses that our response to these daily challenges must be consistent with God's person and ways.
Second, by "wisdom for consistency in the community," I mean that James offers wisdom for a purpose: to encourage the covenant faithfulness of the people of God. James's frequent opposition to being double-minded and his regular call for wholeness and integrity apply this wisdom. The goal of wisdom is maturity, completeness (cf. 1:4), and integrity, or as I am calling it, consistency.
Third, "wisdom for consistency in the community" means that James is addressing church matters from a pastoral perspective. As a major leader in the Jerusalem church, and therefore of other churches related to that mother church, James is keenly aware of church needs and problems. Indeed, he spends his day neck-deep in them. So James writes an ecclesiological document that speaks to real-life concerns that the Diaspora churches faced. Reading James with pastoral eyes reveals this community emphasis. These Jewish Christians were a part of local congregations ("synagogue" in 2:2) with teachers (3:1), elders (5:14), and members in need of church leadership's prayers (5:14–16). These believers were experiencing trials (1:2f) and oppression (2:6; 5:1–11). Some were claiming they had faith but had little concern for personal holiness (1:22–25; 4:4) and failed to assist the poor (1:26–27; 2:14–17). The congregations also included some who sought to gain power as teachers, but were spiritually unqualified for the role (3:1–18). Some, including many desiring to be teachers, were quarrelsome, bringing friction rather than peace (3:13–4:10). James writes to address such church problems and responds by offering "wisdom for consistency in the community."
4. How does this book differ from your commentary on James? And why did you write the commentary first?
I have had a long interest in James—personally and pastorally. But the more I studied James, the more I felt I had been missing the church/community emphasis—and doing so while serving as a pastor and preaching through James to help the church! The more I read works on James, the more I felt that others too were neglecting this important aspect. My sermons focused on the individual applications of James's exhortations—facing trials at a personal level, dealing with temptation at a personal level, individual obedience with reference to words, etc. While those sermons were not necessarily incorrect, they shed light on only a small portion of James's burden. Regrettably, it was not until the last sermon I preached in my 2001 series on James that I noticed its intensely community-centered perspective. Since that time, however, it has become increasingly clear to me that James is writing pastorally with an emphasis on the covenant community, dealing with church problems, and thinking from a church leadership perspective.
So I co-wrote (with my friend Dale Ellenburg) the commentary. The commentary's purpose is to give sound and clear interpretation and explanation, and is structured passage by passage. It is to help pastors help the church through James.
I wrote A Theology of James because I found that I did not have time or space to develop my thinking on James's theology. Writing both volumes has been helpful, as now both the particulars and the broad contours more readily stand out. In contrast to the commentary, A Theology of James is structured according to theological context, pastoral burden, themes, theology, and contemporary application. Its contents are below.

This Week's Stand-Out Apps
First off the plate, we showed you how to win big with the Great Contest for the iPhone. For those more into gaming, we slung out a steamy review of the Tetris clone Bricks Up, as well as Alien Raid's tower defense based physics madness.

Top 5 iPhone and iPad Apps of the Week
Quora – Free
If you're like us, you frequently find yourself at a loss about some piece of information or another. If you're even more like us, you likely hit Google with any lingering questions you may have during the day. If that's your modus operandi, then have we got a winner for you: Quora's new iPhone app makes it easier than ever to learn on the go.
The online Q&A service makes it dirt-easy to find information nuggets on everything from sports to the Royal Family. All of the excellent site's data is collected in this free mobile application, making it simple to browse the Quora database while on the go. Best of all, you can ask your own questions, too, and get a response on-the-fly from a real expert.
Skype – Free
Our next iPhone app is hardly a fresh one, but with a recent update, Skype brings a lot of new functionality to the iPhone, the iPod Touch 4g, and the iPad 2. Best of all, the mobile video provider's excellent mobile application is still free in the App Store.
New updates bring full support for Bluetooth headsets, meaning if you're a super important businessman—or just like looking like a Borg drone—then you're covered on all three listed devices. There's also new-fangled image stabilization for when the kids run off with your devices. Other than that, it's the same old Skype you know and love—Oh, but with better emoticons this time around.
Chefs Feed – Free
If you're an iPhone-owning foodie with a thing for apps like Yelp and Ness, then scoot over and make room for Chefs Feed. This isn't just any old food recommendation software: The service makes you best mates with the best chefs in your area, providing you with geo-tagged restaurant suggestions from the Iron Giants themselves. You can search for dishes by type, by restaurant, or even by specific chef.
Obviously, Chefs Feed works best in a city with lots of chefs—We're thinking New York, Glasgow, London, Los Angeles, etc.—but since the app is free in the App Store, it'll cost nothing to boot up and check out. And that sounds like a blue plate special to us!
Vulture Clickables – Free
For those familiar with New York Magazine's Vulture department, you'll already know what the entertainment provider's mobile application is all about.

If you're looking for a quick and convenient way to kill a few hours, minutes, or seconds on your iPhone, Vulture Clickables will do so with ease.
IMDb Trivia – Free
Rounding off our free selection of apps this week is IMDb Trivia, a fresh-faced trivia offering from the Internet-based entertainment giant. If you've ever looked up an actor or movie after uttering the phrase, "Oh, who was that again?" then the app is for you. If you feel like you've never said that phrase in your life, then you need IMDb Trivia more than anyone: Obviously you've got to start watching a few more movies.
The iPhone app is simple enough, offering an array of questions about which actor or actress is pictured, or what movies a performer made.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry Monday met with his Sudanese counterpart Ali Karti but failed to repeat strong U.S. criticism of a deadly crackdown on protestors Al Arabiya reported.
Thousands have taken to the streets to protest a more than 60 percent jump in petrol and diesel prices that took effect on September 23 -- the worst urban unrest in the history of President Omar al-Bashir's 24-year reign.
Authorities say 34 people have died in the protests. But activists and international human rights groups said at least 50 people were gunned down, most of them in the greater Khartoum area.
The real toll was difficult to determine but "could be as much as 200," a foreign diplomat told AFP on condition of anonymity
On Friday, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki blasted which she called a "brutal crackdown" by Khartoum on the protestors, adding it was "heavy-handed and disproportionate."
But in Kerry's meeting with Karti at the State Department on Monday, the crackdown was "not a topic," Psaki said.
The two men "discussed the importance of peace between Sudan and South Sudan and the need to end the conflicts in Darfur, Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan," she said, as well as the need to allow humanitarian access to protect civilians.
"This was not a long meeting; they discussed a range of issues," she added.
Bashir's request for a U.S. visa to be able to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York was also raised, Psaki said without giving further details.
Citing confidentiality, she refused to confirm whether the U.S. had denied or granted a visa to Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Darfur.
Karti on Friday addressed the assembly and accused the United States of denying Bashir the visa, which he said breached its obligations as the host of the United Nations.
He slammed the United States for what he called "a serious violation of the principles and purposes set forth in the Charter of the United Nations."
Bashir did not appear at the U.N. podium, with Karti taking his place, but it remained unclear whether he had chosen not to travel or been refused a U.S. visa.

At least 22 members of American forces in South Korea may have been exposed to live anthrax spores, which the Pentagon says it accidentally shipped off to a military base there, a report says.
The announcement was made by United States Forces Korea (USFK), which is a sub-unified command of United States Pacific Command (USPACOM), on Thursday, Yonhap News Agency reported.
USFK said in a statement that the bio-weapon sample was destroyed after it was discovered that the deadly bacteria may not be an "inert training sample as expected."
"Osan Air Base took prudent cautionary measures May 27, 2015, to investigate a potential exposure to a suspected sample of Anthrax," it said.
It noted that the 22 US troops "may have been exposed during the training event," but claimed that "none of the personnel have shown any signs of possible exposure and there is no risk to the public."
On Wednesday, the Pentagon said it inadvertently sent live anthrax spores to as many as nine laboratories across the United States and one anthrax sample to the Joint US Forces Korea Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition Program at Osan Air Base, south of Seoul.
The labs were supposed to receive dead anthrax samples for research use.
Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said the military was working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to retrieve the samples.
According to the Pentagon, samples came from a military lab at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) Army facility in Utah.
The live anthrax spores were shipped from Utah to labs in Texas, Maryland, Wisconsin, Delaware, New Jersey, Tennessee, New York, California and Virginia.

So guy and I were talking on the phone and then he got off the phone saying his brother was arguing with his girlfriend and asked if he can call me back. I told him oh well call me after then. He said ok. Few minutes went by and he checked my snapchat and replied. Few more minutes and eventually nothing. I texted him saying ok, we'll have a nice night then. Last night we stayed on the phone but he fell asleep. We talked about how cute it was I followed along and the call was about 7 hours. He said he liked it. Now it seems like he was avoiding that from happening tonight. Now I'm feeling insecure that he's finding my kind of flirting weird. Every time I flirt I feel like he's not interested. But when he's drunk he flirts all the time. I feel like I'm getting played.

A/N: To all my old readers: This is another angsty thing from me. I don't know why I'm writing these kinds of things, I really need to go back to the fluffy stuff.
But to all you new readers: Hello, I'm glad you stopped by to read this. :)
This is my first 5+1 fanfic, so if it's a little rough around the edges, I apologise.
Another thing, for the purposes of this one-shot, I have to pretend that Kurt stays overnight at Dalton Academy. Sorry about that. :)
I do not own Glee.
Ghost, or Five Times Blaine Didn't Notice, One Time He Did
The First Time - After Karofsky's Kiss
Kurt Hummel sat in the bathroom alone, the tiles cold to his body. He could still feel Karofsky's lips on his own, moving sloppily as his gigantic hands clutching his face. That wasn't what his first kiss was supposed to feel like. It was meant to be like fireworks, as described in the cheesy romantic movies that he liked to watch so often. His didn't, and he felt dirty. No matter how many times he had washed his face he still felt disgusted. Disgusted and violated.
But nothing in his life ever went right. What was the point of living if life was always going to be a disappointment? Kurt couldn't think of any reasons.
The pale-skinned boy crossed the room in a matter of steps and there he was, in front of a cup containing several razor blade that his Dad uses to shave. Kurt could do it now. He could end the bullying and the trauma that he was put through everyday. All it took was one deep cut into his soft flesh.
He picked up the sharpest one and experimented, lightly cutting across the tip of his thumb, watching the blade run easily through the skin, releasing a droplet of blood. Just that one cut was enough for Kurt to be mesmerised by the sensation that cutting gave him. It gave him power. That small blade was enough to end his life, yet he didn't fear it, he was envious of it. Kurt drew the blade across his uncovered upper arm, watching the blood trickle down his pale skin, a striking comparison. As the droplet fell, Kurt knew he was hooked.
He was just about to cut again, the hand that held the razor slowly moving towards his arm, when his cell phone went off. The blade dropped to the floor with a clatter, and he picked up his phone, feeling annoyed that someone had bothered him when he had finally found a way to release his anger at the world. He answered the call with a sharp, "Hello, Blaine."
"Hey, Kurt," sounded the voice through the speaker, "how was school?"
"It was fine." Kurt's voice was emotionless, but Blaine didn't notice. He never did.
The Second Time - His First Night At Dalton
Kurt felt cold, and he felt alone. Overall, the boy was numb to the core. How could he so heartlessly have left his only friends behind? Karofsky was threatening him with the one thing he wanted; to die. So why had he run away? Kurt's eyes prickled with tears. He just wanted someone to know what he was going through, but here, at Dalton, he knew hardly anybody. His body shook with tremors as his tears fell. He reached for his bag and took it with him to the en suite bathroom.
As he locked the door behind him, he slid down against it, his bag clutched in his hands, his knuckles turning even whiter with the force of his grip. He took a few seconds to recollect his thoughts and calm the tears, before he tipped out the contents of his bag, searching for the glare of a metallic object in the flickering light. When he found it, he grabbed it, his heart beating wildly in his chest. Kurt felt sickened that he was excited for this part of the day; the time when he could sit down by himself and watch his own blood seep onto the floor. He stared at the puddle of precious liquid, transfixed for several moments until he heard a far-off knock and someone calling his name through the door.
Nobody could see him like this, he immediately decided. Even though he felt at his most powerful during this ritual, he was sure he looked vulnerable to outsiders. Nobody would be able to understand the sensation, and he didn't want to have to explain it to Blaine, to his family and friends, or to the psychiatric ward if anybody ever found out. That's why nobody had to know, it had to remain his little secret.
"Kurt, are you in there?" Blaine shouted.
He couldn't hide forever. Kurt quickly mopped up the blood with some tissue and called a reply to stall him some time. After it was all gone, he went to let Blaine in.
Kurt opened the door, and saw Blaine leant against the wall with a stack of books held under one arm. "Hi," Blaine said with a grin, stepping towards the door and throwing an arm around Kurt's shoulder, taking him to the bed so they could sit on it. He didn't notice the low hiss of pain that Kurt had released when he had touched his arm. Blaine dropped his books on Kurt's bed, and jumped onto it. "I'm glad you're in," he said as he got comfortable, "I need help with the French assignment."
The Third Time - After Blaine Sings For Jeremiah
Kurt had literally opened up his heart and admitted that he had feelings for Blaine, but the older boy still hadn't taken any immediate interest. He felt rejected, and now even more lonely than ever. Nobody cared about him that way, and nobody ever would.
He had seen the lust in Blaine's eyes as he followed Jeremiah pitifully throughout the store, and it had caused his chest to constrict in pain. Surely someone must be able to love him? Kurt looked into the mirror in front of him and stared at his reflection, noticing the dark bags that were starting to appear under his eyes due to the lack of sleep he had lately. He then saw the two deep cuts on his arm that had already started to scab over, and he traced them with his long finger. They were beautiful, unlike him.
He reached for the blade again, cutting swiftly across his upper arm. Repeatedly the sharp metal sliced through his skin, until he pitter patter of blood and his slow intakes of breath were the only sounds he could hear.
The scars made Kurt feel that anything that anyone said was nothing compared to what he could do to himself. He was completely invicible.
His arm was covered in cuts, and he decided to turn instead to his upper leg. There was no way that anyone would be able to see the incisions there. The blade was stained with his blood, but Kurt didn't care. He used it to slash through his left thigh, revelling in the feeling of adrenaline that pumped through his veins as he did so. In Kurt's opinion nothing else could compare to this feeling; not even love.
The blood spurted out of the cut on his leg, and it splattered on the floor, rebounding against the tiles, creating a pattern much like an innocent childs first attempt at a finger painting. An alarm went off from the clock in Kurt's room, and he jumped up, startled. He was going to be late for his last class of the day. He mopped up the blood, and quickly grabbed some tissue to wrap around the long cut on his thigh. Kurt put on some clean trousers, and picked up his bag, before running off towards his lesson.
Halfway during the French lesson, Blaine passed him a note. 'What's with the blood stain on your trousers?'
Kurt gasped, before quickly putting on a confused look. He looked down at his left leg where he knew the stain would be, and pretended to look horrified. 'Nothing,' he scribbled down onto the paper, and he shoved it back in Blaine's direction.
'Kurt, it obviously isn't nothing. You should go check it out.'
'Fine, I will.' Kurt put up his hand, excusing himself, and then he walked out of the classroom, rushing to his dormitory room to clean himself up.
After the lesson, Blaine didn't ask anything about the blood, or how it got there.
The Fourth Time - His Last Night At Dalton
Kurt never thought that Blaine would become his boyfriend. He didn't know what Blaine saw in him; he was troubled deep inside, and he wasn't the most handsome guy. Yet, Blaine had still chosen him, and Kurt was grateful.
But that still didn't stop him from harming himself. He still needed the thrill of the feeling of blood dripping slowly down his arm, and the power that it gave him.
Kurt sat on the bathroom floor once more, the blade laid on the floor beside him, and he constantly gazed at it, wondering whether he should do it. He was happy enough to be leaving Dalton; it meant that he got to wear his own clothes, and be with his old glee club again. But it also meant that he would be leaving behind the person who had slowly but surely become his rock during his stay here. Blaine. They had only been together for a short while, but they were already being split apart.
Kurt felt a twinge of guiltnesses make it's way down his spine. How would him leaving affect Blaine? Kurt hadn't really thought about it that much, but now that he had, it was eating him alive.
He picked up the blade, swiftly cutting across his arm where the cuts from the previous times had started to heal. He had learned his lesson not to cut across his thighs from the other time; it was too obvious if it started to bleed, so he returned to his arms again.
The blood ran down his arm once more, creating a trail that criss-crossed over and over again. The pattern was unlike anything that Kurt had ever seen, and it was completely unique. Just like the exhilarating feeling that he still got when he did this.
The buzz of his mobile on the tiled floor echoed and Kurt couldn't ignore it. He already knew who it was from. His boyfriend. They had decided to go on one last date to the Lima Bean, their usual haunt. The text contained the words: 'If you don't come downstairs in five minutes, I will personally come upstairs and drag you down. Just kidding. But not really. Love, B. x'.
Kurt smiled, but the guilt he felt inside still wouldn't go away, and with that thought he mopped up the blood and quickly threw on his prepared outfit, fixed his hair and was out the door in four minutes.
He met Blaine on the stairs, and smiled. "You said five minutes," Kurt reminded him in a teasing tone. "It's only been four."
"I know, but I couldn't resist seeing you again," Blaine admitted, leaning in to give Kurt a chaste kiss on the lips. He held out his hand to the countertenor. "Now let's get going."
Blaine didn't notice that throughout their date Kurt seemed distant, and he didn't see the way Kurt held his arm to contain the pain of the tingling feeling as the cut slowly started to heal itself.
The Fifth Time - After Kurt Was Crowned 'Prom Queen'
Kurt couldn't stop the never-ending tears that flowed from his eyes. Sure, he had put on a brave face and excepted the title with a witty remark, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt any less. He had been humiliated in front of the whole school, and even though it seemed like he didn't care what people said about or did to him, it still cut him to the core.
The countertenor had thought prom was supposed to be a fun time. A time to create memories that he could look back on as he got older with a sincere smile, knowing how much he had enjoyed that night. But as he should have expected, it went completely wrong, and the night was ruined.
The boy didn't understand what was wrong with the bullies. How could anyone think it's okay to hurt another person with abusive words and physical violence? He smiled bitterly. He had thought that McKinley High had got better since he had left; that it would be okay for him to return. That he was safe. But he was obviously wrong; nothing had changed.
Kurt cut his lower arm, slowly reaching his wrist were he knew he could cut if he wanted to end it all. But he didn't know what he wanted. He had Blaine, and a loving and caring family. Surely that was worth more than some mean words that someone had said in a venomous tone?
He cut again. No one understood. They thought that after his speech he was going to be okay, but he wasn't, he was far from it. Kurt had been through things that they would never be able to understand. Not even slightly.
The blood seeped from his deep wounds, splashing into the water that was in the sink and swirling in it, staining the clear liquid and making it red.
"Kurt, dinner's ready," Blaine said through the door. Burt and Carole had invited him to dinner after prom, and Blaine had accepted straight away, wanting to spend more time with Kurt before they were separated for another brief amount of time.
"I'll be out in a minute," he replied, pulling the plug and watching the mixture of blood and water flow down the drain. "I need to go change out of this shirt anyway."
Kurt waited until he had heard Blaine move away, before he came out of the bathroom and rushed to his room, somehow evading any attention. He changed, and made his way to the dinner table. He sat down next to Blaine, and then everyone began eating.
"Could you pass me the gravy, Kurt?" Blaine asked, smiling at his boyfriend.
Kurt reached for the gravy boat and gave a gasp of pain as a horrid sensation shot up his arm because of the long cut that Kurt had inflicted upon himself.
"What's wrong?" Blaine said in a worried tone.
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" his boyfriend persisted.
"Yes, I'm sure."
And Blaine had left it at that, leaning over and grabbing the gravy instead of making Kurt do it, fearing that it would hurt him again.
The Only Time - After New Directions Lost Nationals
Kurt had pretended to be happy when Mr Schue had brought in their small trophy, and he had celebrated with the rest of his glee club, but that was all an act. Kurt was disappointed. He had wanted to win, just like the rest of the group had, but it had affected him much more than the others.
This was the second time Kurt had lost. Once when he was part of the Warblers, and now with New Directions. He blamed himself. If he had put more effort into writing songs and practising then they might have won. But he hadn't, and now it was all over.
He turned the razor blade in his hands. He had come to rely on this tiny piece of metal. He smiled gravely as he gingerly cut across the tip of his finger, just as he had done all those months ago.
Maybe the world would be a better place without him, Kurt pondered. His dad wouldn't really miss him now that he had Finn to do manly things with, and Carole would be able to console him through the first few months, then they'd be able to play happy families with their son.
Blaine would be fine without him. It would be just like it was before Kurt had come to Dalton, before Blaine had met him. He would be able to move on eventually, meeting new people to fall in love and spend the rest of his life with.
Kurt cut across the skin close to his wrist, watching the blood pour out like waterfall. Just a little bit closer and he would be able to end it all. Kurt would have the final laugh to his bullies, and he would make everyone else's lives much better.
He drew in a deep breath as he placed the blade against the vein. He could do this. He squeezed his eyes tightly as he slashed the blade against the veins that were transporting blood throughout his body, and he felt the blood escape. He fell to his knees, feeling weak. Finally, he would be able to go into an eternal sleep.
"Kurt?" a beautiful voice he recognised called. Why was Blaine here? The door knob rattled as Blaine turned it. "Kurt, I know you're upset at losing Nationals, but there's no need to lock yourself in the bathroom." He twisted the knob again, using more force. "Finn said you've been in here all day." When no one replied he called Kurt's name again, before pushing his weight against the door, aiming to smash it down. He could tell that something was drastically wrong.
Kurt's blood continued to pour out of his body, and he couldn't keep his eyes open any more. He was too weak.
The door was finally rammed open, the lock completely damaged due to the strength of Blaine's force. What he saw shocked him to the core. Kurt was curled up on the floor, his wrist cut open and a large pool of blood beside his body.
"Call for an ambulance!" Blaine shouted, his voice reaching Carole who was in the kitchen. "Please!" Blaine's voice was hoarse with emotion. Tears had started to leave tracks down his face as they fell and were instantly replaced by fresh ones. He dropped down onto the floor next to Kurt, not caring that his clothes were getting covered in the boy's blood. He wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's shoulders, cradling the fragile countertenor. How could he have let this happen? How could he have missed all the signs?
"Kurt?" he whispered softly, as he heard the sound of Carole making her way to the scene, the phone pressed to her ear, shouting demands to the person on the other end.
The other boy coughed lightly, and Blaine felt a wave of relief go over him. Kurt wasn't dead yet. He still had a chance to make things right.
"Kurt, hold on. I've got you, you're safe now." He held the boy in his arms, his own tears falling onto him. Blaine kissed him on the forehead gently. "Why would you do this to yourself, Kurt?" he asked, even though he knew he wouldn't get an answer.
The ambulance arrived, the sirens wailing, and Blaine knew that Kurt would be okay. Kurt was strong, he would be able to pull through this. And when he did, Blaine would never be able to look at him without a stab of guilt, knowing that if he had paid attention more this might not have happened.
A/N: So there you have it. My first 5+1 fanfic. :)
Sorry if it made you cry. "I hope it was like a good cry, instead of a bad cry 'cause it was really bad or something." Haha, I just had to write that Darren Criss quote. xD
Anyway, thanks for reading this one-shot, and I hope you enjoyed it.
Please leave your thoughts in a review. I appreciate them. :)

iMac Pro review
Canon EOS 400D
I have a Canon 400D but would like to do some close up work. I have got the normal manual and also purchased the Dummies guide to this camera.
But I still can not find how to use live view mode. so I can take pics using the monitor.
Has anyone got the same camera and knows how to do this.
Yep, no live view. See the comparison here
click here
Liveview, which you do not have on this camera will not give you close-ups, this is down to the lens in use.
Liveview is however a major help when "fine focussing" a macro lens due to the fact that you can enlarge many times the image on the LCD screen, but like Ventanas I much prefer the the viewfinder.
In explanation, I prefer the viewfinder because every bit of information about the shot I am going to get is there to see - shutter, aperture, ISO, compensation and a heck of a lot more without having to move the eye away. Try looking at a screen with just a bit of sunshine and try to cope with the glare.
And I'm used to it this way.
I used to do a lot of macro with my old Olympus 35mm kit using tubes and bellows which cannot be beaten for absolute focus accuracy. Now I just have a set of tubes for my Nikon gear.
If focus and depth of field does become a problem there is the technique known as Focus Stacking which does require additional software such as Helicon Focus or a freeware called Combine ZM which is a bit harder to use.
thanks everyone, Well thats why I could not find the option anywhere the camera has not got it. Just have to stick with the view finder. Just got some great macro lens attachments on Ebay and thought live view mode would help. But thanks anyway.
Just to add. If you really like macro photography consider looking into m42 lenses. These are of great quality and an adapter for the EOS400d can be had for about £3-5. You can get a good macro lens with a close focusing distance for about £10 on an M42 fitting on ebay.
I myself have a wonderful 400mm M42 lens great for bird photography or long distance shots where you have the time to eye everything up. When you consider a 70-300 sigma lens for canon would set you back at least £220 new there are many advantages to be had.
Even better still I paid £20 for it and it works out to be a 640mm lens with the crop factor taken into account. Plus the lens I have was in its day the range topper so effectivly you are getting a mid range quality modern day lens for a fraction of the price.
The macro +1s or whatever you have gotten will be good but nothing beats a good old fashioned lens.
One last point if you do go down the M42 route be sure to note that you will have to manually manage any settings for the lens, unlike your EF-s on the camera which can do everything for you. However for macro shots you would tend to do it all manually.
If you have any other questions feel free to message me.

Winter weather is finally upon us! The snow has already begun to blanket the best mountains in the world, and riders have been ready. If you're stoked on this season – and I know you are… check out or list of the 6 best women's snowboard jackets of 2016/2017
1. Burton AK Gore-Tex 2L Altitude Jacket. Toping the list and taking the #1 spot for best women's snowboard jackets is **drum roll please** the Burton AK Gore-Tex 2L Altitude. Made to handle the roughest backcountry conditions and the toughest female riders, this zip-up jacket delivers guide-worthy protection with legendary breathability. Additional features include a neck gasket collar and powder gasket cuffs so you'll be sealed in tight – away from windy weather and frigid snow. Featuring an exclusive Gore-Seam® technology, the Burton AK Gore-Tex 2L Altitude also keeps your body temperature adjusted so you never have to worry about overheating inside and soaking yourself with sweat. Additional features include, micro-adjustable hood and exterior-access media pocket.
Mammut Biwak Down Jacket. Nothing protects your sensitive skin from winter weather like this puffy jacket from Mammut. Made with an exclusive Pertex Endurance outer shell, the fabric is water resistant and highly compressible so you can stuff this all-purpose jacket in any sack. 880-fill goose down will keep you warm, and the three-point hood allows you to adjust, with or without a helmet. My favorite part about this jacket is the fibrefill body mapping inserts. It can really warm up inside down jackets, but the Mammut Biwak Down Jacket includes this unique underarm transfer to wick moisture away and keep things dry inside.
2. Patagonia Insulated Powder Bowl Jacket. Ok ladies… if you're craving powder – this is the jacket for you. Made with a 2-layer Gore-Tex outer membrane to lock moisture out even in high winds, you'll be snug and comfortable as the strategically placed vents give you breathability to sweat freely AND stay warm. Ventilated and completely environmentally friendly, this jacket features 100g Thermogreen insulation in just the right spots, where you need warmth the most. Additionally, this all-condition backcountry jacket was made for the deepest snow days plus wind chill and bitter ice blasts. It's all good in the Patagonia Women's Insulated Powder Bowl Jacket.
3. FlyLow Gear Bille Coat. Made for backcountry beauties, this jacket has a triple-layered shell that handles cold, wet conditions easily. Its high-functioning design includes a waterproof membrane, DWR coated mid-layers and underarm vents especially positioned for gnarly female riders. Additional features include a helmet-compatible hood, removable powder skirt, 7 stash pockets, and an ultra-tall hood so you can ski with your helmet on. Just incase you get a little too hyped-up out there, and find yourself smothered in POW, the removable powder skirt will keep your assets dry.
4. Arc'teryx Tiya Jacket. Nobody said you can't look fly AF in active snowfall. Take the Arc'teryx Women's Tiya Jacket along for the ride on the next trip you take into the backcountry. It's there for you in every way a reliable jacket should be – with zippered vents for breathability, fully taped seams, helmet compatibility & a drop hood, a slim-looking silhouette, a laminated brim that stays out of sight, and Coreloft® body-mapped insulation for extra comfort and all-weather warmth. Adjustable hem and cuffs make it easy to swap out gloves & mittens, and you'll never need to look for a place to stash anything with plenty of pockets,, specifically designed for goggles, passes and more!
5. Patagonia Down Sweater Jacket. Made to fit Janes of all trades, this down Patagonia jacket is ideal for every cold weather situation. Don't let the #5 spot fool you, this is still one of the best women's snowboard jackets of the season. Lightweight and windproof, it's made with a 100% recycled polyester shell and 100 fill power Traceable Down. What's traceable down? This jacket is filled with goose down from geese that are tracked from farm to apparel factory, to ensure the birds are not force-fed or live-plucked. All certified by NSF – an independent third party, you can feel good about your jacket while you stay protected from the elements. Ultra-comfortable, and ultra-versatile this jacket was made just for ladies who rip, with a classic zip-up style.
Get online and grab these 6 best women's snowboarding jackets for the 2017 season – STAT! They've made our list, now add them to yours!
Another jacket that nearly made the list is the Women's L.L. Bean Ultralight 850 Down
6 Essential Womens Backcountry Gear Must Haves
by Stephanie Buelow
Do you have a female backcountry skier or snowboarder in your life? This winter get a girl what she really wants. We compiled this seasons must haves for any backcountry shredder. These are not just accessories; they are staples to those who want to explore this winter.
The The North Face – Women's Sickline backcountry specific jacket is designed for all weather and steep terrain. Any female would love the freedom and protection this jacket provides. The Sickline has insulation throughout the body of the jacket with less insulation in the sleeves. This design adds to the two-way stretch for maximum freedom of movement. Ideal for hiking or skinning up a slope. This fully featured jacket is also made of HyVent, a waterproof, breathable fabric.
Patagonia's Capilene 3 is made from moisture wicking polyester. Making them an ideal layering piece for the backcountry. Don't let cotton affect your bid for the summit and layer smart for the weather.
Another great baselayer we have been raving about is from Polarmax, checkout the line of polarmax technical base layer options for skiing and snowboarding.
Quick changing lens systems have taken over today's goggles. Show her you care by gifting the top of the line, Smith's I/07s. These spherical lenses have a single pivot, quick release lens system. Switch lenses quickly to prepare for any type of light. We liked these soo much they made our list for the best snowboard googles of the year!
Both the Black Diamond – Carbon and Pure Carbon Ski poles are ideal for going the distance in winter conditions. The Carbon Compactor poles are great for snowboarders because of the weight and collapsible technology. While the Pure Carbon are more ski-focused poles, light and durable for going up and down the mountain.
The Ortovox Zoom + transmitter is a great gift to empower your favorite shredder because the first step for getting out in the backcountry is being prepared. The Zoom + combines design and function with the latest technology in transmitting. An LED display allows clear transitions between transmitting and searching. We dug this beacon so much it made the list of the Best 3 Antenna Avalanche Beacons.
With the Burton Approach glove you have 2-in-1 versatility with touch screen technology. Both weatherproof and breathable this is the glove designed for all seasons. The ergonomic fit brings functionality to the backcountry. This is one of the most versatile gloves on the market today.

The God Particle
This is just something for you to read while waiting for our next post (if it will ever come). This God Particle is called the Higgs-Boson particle. It is a hypothetical particle that is said to be the reason why stuff acquires mass. Mass is basically a resistance to change in motion, or as some may call it, inertia. When reading the articles, I was reminded of the old theory of space being filled with a substance called ether, which was made up to try and explain how light and other electromagnetic energy could propagate through the apparent vacuum of space. It also reminded me of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and the Cassini effect, where a measurable force occurs between two metal plates due to particles and anti-particles suddenly appearing and annihilating each other randomly. This could be seen as analogous to this "ether" substance. (Mr. Choy should have something to say about this, as he is more learned in electromagnetic propagation and wave theory than me).
A good read, thanks to some physicists who came up with short and simple explanations.

Physics Themed: Unit 14 "Forces & circular motion"
14- Forces & Circular motion
Summary: Has a stationary wall ever pushed you? How about a stationary floor? It will be my job in this unit to convince you they both have…..Now that we know about how much work it takes to put our rollercoaster where we want it, we need to find how much force that requires. Also, friction works against our coaster as it robs energy, but ultimately it's a friendly force that lets us stop our coaster too. To master forces we'll learn Newton's laws of motion and do an informative friction lab. Besides ordinary linear forces, as coaster designer MUST understand the forces from circular motion. This is because coasters move in circles in turns, loops and at the top and bottom of hills. Circular motion imparts G-forces and there are severe limits on how much a human body can take. Also, negative G-forces are much more dangerous than positive G-forces for reasons we'll learn about; but, you can't understand or design a rollercoaster without understanding G-forces and we'll learn about this so the concept makes sense to you.

Osama was discussing deal with Pak: Report
As per the deal al-Qaeda would refrain from attacking Pakistan.
Washington: Osama bin Laden and his top
aides had discussed making a deal with Pakistan in which
al-Qaeda would refrain from attacking the country in exchange
for protection inside the country, US officials have said.
Documents seized from the slain al-Qaeda chief`s
Abbottabad hideout include messages between bin Laden and his
top operations chief over the past year which provide the
first suggestion that bin Laden considered Pakistan`s
government amenable to a bargain The New York Times reported
quoting unnamed US officials.
The paper said that such a bargain was to ensure the
safety of top al-Qaeda leaders.
The officials emphasised that they had found no
evidence that such a proposal, which one American official
said was in the "discussion phase," was ever raised with
Pakistani military or intelligence operatives.
But the fact that bin Laden even considered a truce
with Pakistan suggests that he thought the idea might have had
some support inside the country`s national security
At the same time, Pakistan could argue that the
discussions provided evidence that there was no deal already
in place allowing bin Laden to hide in the sprawling compound
in Abbottabad, a middle-class town 75 miles (about 120 kms) by
road from the Pakistani capital, the daily said.
The CIA is pouring over a huge electronic database
that Navy Seal commandos seized during the raid that killed
bin Laden this month.
The new details emerged even as US Secretary of State
said there was no evidence to suggest that anyone in Pakistan
government`s highest level knew about the presence of bin
Laden living just miles from the federal capital.
The information also came at the time when American
officials said that Pakistan had granted permission for the
CIA to send a forensics team to search bin Laden`s compound.
Many American officials are skeptical that bin Laden
could have hidden for so long inside Pakistan without at least
the tacit approval of some Pakistani officials.
Top American officials said they had yet to see any
evidence of official approval from the electronic files. But
new information is being discovered about al-Qaeda`s
structure, particularly about a tier of operatives, bin Laden
corresponded with, who were in charge of the network`s daily
In particular, the documents highlight the central
role played by Atiya Abdul Rahman, the operations chief with
whom American officials said bin Laden discussed a possible
truce with Pakistan.
Rahman is a Libyan operative who came into the job
after a drone strike in 2010 killed his boss, Sheik Saeed

Maya Pieris from Four Seasons Preserves makes some very interesting Chutneys, we have tried that at different events (We must get them sent in for review) and while at Chutfest 2011 I asked Maya for some recipe ideas as it is always interesting to see what you can make with them, and who better to ask than the producer.
Well Maya sent us over 3 recipes she thinks show what can be done simply and quickly.
Indian Rarebit – an excellent snack for the dark days!
Melt 75g good, strong Cheddar like a Denhay, with 10g butter, 2 dsp. of an IPA ale and a tsp. of Four Seasons Preserves "Bengal Apple Chutney" or the "Hot Apple Pickle" (Maya Indian Condiments range), more if you want. Toast on one side 2 slices of your favourite bread and then carefully pour over the melted cheese mixture and grill till lightly browned.
Crusted Salmon
Preheat the oven to 200 C/ 400 F/ Gas 6
Using a grinder mix 40g white breadcrumbs with 1 tsp or more of Four Seasons Preserves "Lucknow Lime Chutney" (Maya Indian Condiments range). Add 2 tsp olive oil to make a rough paste.
Place 250g of salmon fillets, skin side down, in a small baking dish with ½ tin of tomatoes and a cup of tomato juice. Cover the flesh with a layer of the breadcrumb paste and bake for around 20 minutes making sure to add more tomato juice if becoming dry. Serve with a salad and boiled potatoes.
Try this with 250g chicken fillets, tenderised to make an escalope. Dip the chicken in beaten egg and then in the breadcrumbs without adding the oil and fry in a mix of butter and oil for about 5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the chicken. Serve with salad.
Quick Spicy Potato and Prawn Curry
Peel and dice 2 medium potatoes and steam for 4/5 minutes. Heat a tablespoon of oil and cook a sliced onion till golden then add a tin of tomatoes and the potatoes with a tsp of Four Seasons Preserves "Bengal Apple Chutney" (Maya Indian Condiments range) to finish cooking the potatoes and then add 150g prepared prawns and heat for a further 2 minutes. Season if necessary. Serve with rice and poppadums.
