TWO Wrexham FC fans are walking to Cardiff to raise cash for the crisis-hit club.

Dragons fanatics Wayne Price and Stuart Smith have started a 150-mile marathon hike south, wearing red wigs.

They aim to arrive in time for the club's Sunday LDV Millennium stadium final against Southend United.

Along the way, the pair want to raise #10,000 for Wrexham's Supporters Trust and Nightingale House Hospice.

The two left the Turf pub at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday after Wrexham's game against Bourne-mouth, breaking themselves in with a short walk to Ruabon.

Yesterday afternoon they were well on their way to Welshpool via Oswestry, on the first leg of their fundraising trek.

Wayne, 33, said: "If you had asked me this morning how I felt, I would have said great. "But now I am starting to feel the blisters and am looking forward to a nice hot bath.

"We have had people tooting their horns at us in support.

"We should make it to Cardiff by Saturday and are looking forward to the final on Sunday."

The Manchester-based web marketer and 32-year-old father of three Stuart, a painter and decorator who lives near the Racecourse ground, have been planning the trip for the last three weeks.

"I came up with the idea and have bandied it about on web message boards," said Wayne.

"We spoke to our works to get their blessing, for which we are grateful, and have planned accommodation along the route."

Their marathon hike will take them through Oswestry, Welshpool, Newtown, Llandrindod Wells, Brecon, Merthyr, Pontypool, Cwmbran, Newport and on to Cardiff.

Yesterday's leg was 28 miles. The two now aim to average 20 miles a day.

They have already raised about #2,000 and were hoping to secure more cash donations along the way.

Although fans are excited about the final, the Dragons' future is in serious doubt.

The club, which has debts of about #4.5m, has until the end of July to find a new buyer to keep it at the Race-course or face extinction.

So far a deal has not been struck.

Can you help?

Anybody who wishes to donate to the pair's marathon walk appeal can visit Nightingale House Hospice on Chester Road, Wrexham, or the WST shop on Mold Road

IT wasn’t just Nemanja Vidic who departed Old Trafford experiencing double vision on Saturday. Sir Alex Ferguson may have lost a hat-trick of players to this bruising encounter with Wigan – the concussed Vidic among them – but this was the afternoon his defending champions rediscovered their swagger.

In a rare moment of mirth with the media on the eve of this clash, the Scot had jokingly encouraged his audience to wager their money on a 1-0 victory for misfiring Manchester United.

Horse racing enthusiast Ferguson’s tip was certainly supported by the form book, the Red Devils having uncharacteristically amassed six victories by the same scoreline this term.

Before Saturday’s victory which sent the hosts, temporarily at least, to the summit of the Premier League, Ferguson’s men had only managed to find the target twice on one occasion – last month’s 2-0 conquering of Chelsea at home.

It is a statistic Ferguson described as being both puzzling and worrying in his programme notes.

"The facts tell us that we have played eight games and scored only seven goals," he wrote. "That’s highly unusual for us… So, yes, it is a worry.

"Why the goals have dried up is a puzzle," he added.

However, it was a more familiar United that dismantled Chris Hutchings’ men with an elan missing from recent displays, Cristiano Ronaldo’s brace and goals from Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez ensuring the Red Devils surpassed their previous best return for the campaign by two fold.

A most satisfying afternoon, then, for the pensioner, despite much grumbling from the Scot about the timing of this early kick off – incredibly just one of two fixtures to be scheduled on Saturday.

It will have been the performances of his strike duo, though, that will have pleased the Scot most.

This was by far the most comfortable the two men have appeared alongside each other at the business end of United’s attack, their busy and aggressive displays laced with flair and imagination.

Most importantly, given Old Trafford’s recent impoverishment of goals, both players found themselves on the scoresheet, doubling their tallies for the season.

For the first time since his arrival Tevez showed signs of an emerging understanding with his forward partner.

Critics – this observer included – have suggested that the Argentina front-runner and Rooney are too similar in stature and style to play in the same team.

Both men are most effective when drifting deep or to the flanks in a bid to exert their influence on the game, leaving United without a focal point for their attacks – a problem not aided by the loss of Louis Saha to a hamstring injury in the pre-match warm up.

Ferguson’s solution to this clash of styles, however, appears to be the development of a fluid front four, on this occasion made up of Ryan Giggs, Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo.

When either Tevez or Rooney roam out of position, it then becomes the responsibility of United’s wingers to take up a central striking position, the idea presumably being that it makes it increasingly difficult for opposition defences to man mark.

A concept still in its infancy, for much of the first half it appeared to contribute to an unusual lack of width in the hosts’ midfield.

United lacked penetration on the wings, with the majority of their play coming through the centre, as both Giggs and Ronaldo repeatedly ventured infield.

It worked to devastating effect after the interval, however, although a real test will only come against opponents more ambitious than a Wigan outfit who have now conceded 20 goals in just six defeats to United.

Tevez prompted a four-goal rout by crafting a memorable opener on 54 minutes as United recovered from the disruption of losing Vidic, who staggered along the touchline after clashing heads with Marcus Bent, and John O’Shea to a shoulder injury in the first half.

The former West Ham man had been expected to be watched by his countryman and mentor Diego Maradona on Saturday.

However, the Argentina World Cup winning captain lived up to his unreliable reputation with a non-appearance as Tevez began to justify his burdensome "next Maradona tag".

Maradona would have approved of the manner in which he evaded the attentions of Kevin Kilbane, Titus Bramble and Chris Kirkland to confidently slot his second goal of the term.

Ferguson certainly did, saying: "The challenges were coming in first from Kilbane and then from the goalkeeper but he kept his nerve, which I think is the most important thing in that situation, and composed himself enough for a good finish."

It was Tevez’s reward for an industrious display, the kind of showing which has already established him as something of a favourite of the Stretford End, who celebrated his every contribution with the same gusto that greeted his strike.

One became two five minutes later as Ronaldo pounced on Kirkland’s save from Kilbane’s defensive header to nod home, before the Portuguese added a third and the most eye catching of the afternoon.

Gerard Pique, who began the game at right back before slotting seamlessly alongside Rio Ferdinand in the centre after Vidic’s withdrawal, began the move with a piercing pass to Rooney on the left.

The England striker then sent in a low centre giving his Portuguese colleague the simplest of finishes to collect his brace and fourth of the season.

A rapid, devastating counter-attack – this was more like the Manchester United their fans love and rivals hate.

"That’s three in three games for Ronaldo and someone said to me, ‘do you really think he’ll score more than 20?’," Ferguson said. "We’ll just have to see, but I certainly hope so."

It was then the turn of another of Ferguson’s youngsters to turn provider, Salford-born Danny Simpson, who replaced O’Shea on the half hour mark, crossing for Rooney to nod home.

Remarkably it was only the second time Rooney has scored with his head for the club.

"It’s strange he hasn’t score more headers, because he is excellent in the air," added Ferguson.

Having seen the effect a #400 bet had on Ronaldo’s goal-scoring form last term, perhaps the Scot might now see scope for another wager with Rooney.

WREXHAM captain Dean Keates knows better than to under-estimate play-off opponents Luton Town, even though the Dragons have already taken maximum points from their promotion rivals this season.

Nevertheless the 33-year-old midfielder believes the Racecourse outfit have recovered from the hangover that followed their failure to overhaul Fleetwood Town in the race for the Blue Square Bet Premier League title and will head to Kenilworth Road for Thursday’s semi-final first leg in a positive frame of mind.

Wrexham followed last Tuesday’s win at Newport County with a 5-1 hammering of Braintree Town at the Racecourse on Saturday to round off the regular campaign in style and a satisfied Keates said: “We scored five goals and a few little things went our way in the game.

“In the last few weeks that’s not been the case and things have gone against us – decisions or bobbles in the box – but hopefully we are over that and have set a pattern now for the next three games.”

Conceding the Dragons have been through a sticky patch in recent weeks, he added: “We had a bit of a lull because it was in our hands for the past seven or so matches and we let slip the chance to win the league which was a massive disappointment.

“But we have shaken it off now and the lads went to Newport in midweek for the Welsh derby and got a 1-0 win on a horrendous pitch and we’ve come back to the Racecourse and won 5-1.

“There’s been a feeling of frustration in the dressing room in recent weeks knowing what we could have done and what we could have achieved. But that’s gone and now we have to win three football matches.”

Keates is convinced neither last season’s play-off duel, which Luton won 5-1 on aggregate, nor Wrexham’s two league victories against the Hatters this season will have any bearing on what happens this time round.

“Last season we drew there and beat them here in the league but they came here (in the play-offs) and smashed us 3-0 in the first 20 minutes,” he said.

“The fact that we’ve beaten them twice this season goes out of the window and doesn’t mean anything now. It’s simply a case that the best team over the two legs will prevail and go through to the final. Hopefully that’s going to be us.

“The fact we have got 98 points means we have been very consistent, but we missed out on the league. In any other season we would have won promotion and we have also got a goal difference of more than 50 so we can take a lot of confidence from that and we’ll try to push on.

“It’s a matter of who handles the pressure best and who goes into the games in the best frame of mind.

“It’s nice knowing we have beaten them twice already but since then they have had a new manager and a new regime. The tactics will be different and there will be a new style of play so we have to be ready for that.”

A Second Division play-off winner in 2001 when Walsall beat Reading, Keates has a special reason for wanting success with the Dragons.

“I’ve won one play-off final, but that was (played) at Cardiff,” he added. “I’ve never been to Wembley so that’s something I want to do as much as anything. Getting there with Wrexham would be massive for me and I’m sure it will be the same for the rest of the lads.

“Hopefully we will do ourselves and the club credit over the course of these next three games.

“If you look around this club the fans are dying to stand up on their seats and support this club. It’s amazing what they have already done in terms of saving the club at the start of the season which gave us the chance to play.

“Hopefully we can pay them back with not just a great day out at Wembley but with a successful day out as well. But we have two massive games with Luton first.”

Richard Siegal, from Paris, An Interview with Ann Moradian

Richard Siegal, from Paris,  An Interview with Ann Moradian

"If/Then Dialogues"

Richard Siegal, An Interview

March 2010, Paris,France

©Ann Moradian,for The Dance Enthusiast

I was first introduced to Richard Siegal's work last fall in Paris at the Arts Arena. The program, If/Then Dialogues, took place at The Door Studios' intimate loft space near the Bastille. What I experienced could be described as a design in movement architecture that invited the audience to engage not only with Siegal, but also with each other through gesture and movement.
By the end of the night, buoyed lightly with champagne, at least 80% of the audience shifted from verbal to physical 'conversation.' The evening was a powerful affirmation of our humanity, our vulnerability and our interconnectedness.
Richard Siegal at DOOR STUDIOS, Paris - Photo  ©Alessandro Capoccia

I was surprised to discover that a precise control system, which  Siegal calls his If/Then Methodology, served as the foundation for much of his choreographic work.

The movement and gestural phrases are predefined. The choreographic score is written like a flowchart that meticulously notes the range of possibilities the dancers can choose from, and what possibilities remain open to them based on the choices they make. Essentially, "If I do x, then you do y (or z, or q)." The range of possibilities is very clearly outlined, demanding a mnemonic virtuosity on the part of the performers.
Control systems are, let's face it, about control.
So, I had to wonder 'What happens if... someone breaks the rules?'
Richard Siegal at DOOR STUDIOS, Paris - Photo  ©Alessandro Capoccia

Siegal's response is "Yes, at what point does a system break down or implode? You can bore people,to the point that they stagnate. Or you can confront them, corner them, frustrate them... until there is an implosion and the realignment of an idea.”
The first time he worked with his method in 2005, he found that he was too controlling. The dance, If/Then, was "an execution of the system" and it left little room for interpretive expression on the part of the dancers who were (at the time) Janis Brenner and Jeanine Durning. The frustration they felt served as feedback to the 'system.' As in all systems, the feedback pointed toward possibilities for improvement that were integrated later on.
"There is an interesting incompatibility," Siegal says. "Human nature and systems may at times seem to be in opposition." He thought the DVD he made in 2010, also called If/Then Dialogues, was a eulogy to that methodology and exploration. He thought that he was done with it.

But something "uncoupled" during its' use for the Venice Biennale of Architecture, and Siegal discovered hat human nature and his system could co-exist although, Siegal still l points out,  "It became important not to be a slave to the system."
Richard Siegal at DOOR STUDIOS, Paris - Photo  ©Alessandro Capoccia
I wondered what had propelled Siegal, both consciously and unconsciously, to create his methodology.

His conscious intent was "to emancipate the dancer and contradictorily stake my claim as a choreographer. John Cage and Merce Cunningham imagined an art that eradicates the prejudices of the creator," and I participate in that desire," Siegal asserts, " But the relationship between dancer and choreographer is less clear-cut than it used to be. Choreographer and dancer, now, are often mutually responsible for the product. The If/Then methodology began as an attempt to resolve some of the inequities in this relationship."
Not only does Siegal aim to provoke a response from his dancers, he also wants provoke a response from the audience, as in performance art or action art.
Certainly the program I saw at The Door Studios provoked. Siegal's earlier solo Stranger was a one-on-one performance that he describes as a "kind of violence";  a confrontation with the role of the audience, and a demand that the audience  take responsibility for their part in the creation of their theatrical experience.
"The response, " says Siegal, "whatever it is is the thing I am looking for."

Precious Memories

image My husband recently taught my oldest daughter to ride her bike. I knew it would be fun to see him teach her but I had no idea what a special moment it would be. I felt so much joy and pride! Both my husband and my daughter were really patient with one another and I’m sure that’s why it went so smoothly! I also had the privilege of teaching my daughter to read a couple years ago and it felt amazing! There are many days that I feel tired and worn out and I’m not the best mom on those days. But then there are days when we build with blocks, make cookies or snuggle on the couch and read Fancy Nancy. These are the moments I cherish and want to hold on to. It’s not about being the perfect parent. We are all flawed and we’ll mess some things up. What’s important is that our children know we love them. It’s ok for them to see that sometimes we’re weak and sometimes make mistakes. That’s real life. That takes the pressure off them to live a perfect life. It’s a powerful experience for them to see us going to God for strength or to have us apologize to them when we’ve spoken out of anger. I want to live authentically for my children and yet not dwell too much on my imperfections or theirs. I choose to celebrate the good! I know it’s been said many times but the advice to “count our blessings” is a wise one. We have so many!

Nestle Boycott

image Many people love Nestle chocolate, Edy’s ice-cream and Nescafe coffee. Unfortunately the Nestle company is less than worthy of our financial support. For years they’ve been marketing their baby formula to people in some of the poorest countries. Their commercials basically claim that the formula will make child geniuses and unfortunately many many poor people have fallen for it. This has caused a lot of unnecessary death and health issues among the children. You can view the whole story here:

Game: BugZ Standalone

In this video, Hicks smites me down for my actions. The DayZ gods were not exactly in my favour today, however before the footage of this video, I had avenged my 2 fallen friends by killing their killers and their friends.
This is a joke, and I am fully aware it is an alpha game that has been in development for about 1 and a half years (not 3 years, as many claim) and I understand bugs will be there.
Although as anyone does, I too get annoyed with the sheer amount of bullsh*t that comes around in this game at times.

The #HicksPlzFix came from the JewCrew

    The main reason why the development goes so slow is because of all you little whiners. If the programmers were not that busy fixing bugs after each patch (bug fixing is NOT for alpha) , we could’ve have Beta now. But nooooo, you just had to whimper like little babies…

    • Profile photo of obbler

      You should learn to read a bit more. I specifically say in the description that this is a joke, and I have the same mindset as you. It is a piss take. Stop taking all these jokes and things so seriously, Silo Entertainment has done loads of videos like this one where he gets killed by the most stupid of things and has made it funny, yet nobody complains at him.
      Don’t tell me I’m a whiner, I fully understand this game is in Alpha, as it has been for almost 1 and a half years, not 3 years as many dickheads would claim. You sir, have not a lot of idea what you’re talking about. Some of the bugs they have been fixing have been out since as long as I can remember like “The Gun Glitch”. However these sort of bugs have made PvP and other aspects of the game almost impossible to play, for those who suffer from them.

      Next time, bud, don’t judge the book by it’s cover, yeah?

      • Profile photo of Dr. Bonehard

        I didn’t addressed this comment to you personally, hence the plural. So don’t get so easily offended, I never meant to. I just want all the players who whine about bug fixing to stop for a moment and think. Think, for example, why is the 0.58 patch delayed. Well, obviously because the Devs have been fixing its bugs for the last 10 days. And all this will be in vain when the next patch arrives. And the next, and the next… Every month they’re wasting valuable time on fixing things that they do NOT need to. Because it’s freaking Alpha and each time they add something new, it will break other things. Valuable time that could’ve been invested in a more advanced development. Just think about it.
        I would rather experience massive bugs and get the completed game in 1,5 years than playing a semi-bugged game and get the final product in 4 years…

        • Profile photo of obbler

          The “YOU little whiners” made it personal. I apologise for taking it personal, but I am sick to the back teeth of the community arguing over tge development of the game and being so uptight, that they forget to just have a laugh about these bugs. I put in the trololol song to make a joke. I mapped the glasses on Hicks, for a joke. 0.58 has been delayed because the devs WANT to fix the bugs because there are so many at the moment. This is one of the first times they have had to fix any major bugs, and why have they had to? Because people complain about them. Why do they complain? Because they can’t play the game properly. Who made that game available? The devs. I praise the devs for their work, but if they didn’t want to have to fix bugs at this stage, it should have been a closed alpha.

          It’s nothing personal, but perhaps you should notice the difference between a whiner (the people Hicks has to block on Twitter, not me) and the content creators that try to add some humour into their misfortune. Just, appreciate the video just this once and I won’t have to apologise for attempting to entertain the community with a relatable situation made funny with the use of humourous music.

          I’m sorry if you got the wrong impression, and I think we got off on the wrong foot. I am here to make friends, not enemies.

          • Profile photo of Dr. Bonehard

            As I said, it was nothing personal. I get the joke and the “deal with it” glasses. I know where they come from, because I’m a 9gagger and redditer myself. It’s just that I adjudged your post as a good spot to convey my thoughts about bug whiners since your title and thumbnail were definitely about to lure lots of them.

            Peace, brother!

    • Profile photo of obbler

      Oh and hence why the video is tagged under “Fun”.
      IT IS A JOKE.

  • Profile photo of obbler

    This is how the DayZ Community gets torn apart. Because people like Dr.Bonehard take jokes too seriously and mistake content creators, who try to make a joke out of a shit situation, for whiners that complain. I am not complaining, I am joking.

State of Decay Smashes The 500K Sales Barrier

State of Decay Smashes The 500K Sales Barrier

Fastest-Selling Original Xbox LIVE Game

Ambitious open-world zombie-stomper -- State of Decay -- has passed half a million paid downloads since the game's release on Xbox LIVE on June 5th, a figure that Microsoft say makes it the "fastest selling original game ever on Xbox Live Arcade".

Here's what Jon had to say about the game in his review:

I've over-used the phrase "rough diamond" in years past, but now we have a new definition of the term. State Of Decay delivers one of the most authentic, compelling and enjoyable zombie experiences of recent years, and all for an eminently affordable budget price.

Indeed, you'll completely forget that we're all supposed to be bored of zombies by now. Outstanding.

State of Play is still something of a buggy mess, and Undead Labs have confirmed that they're working hard on a patch to fix all of the problems that the last patch threw up, but it's still one of the finest gaming experiences of the year. No, really.

Late  Jun. 18, 2013 at 11:28

The first patch rolled out, but caused more problems?

Thoroughly enjoyed this game, and would recommend it to anyone - so long as they're not the type to get frustrated by niggling annoyances like clipping and pop-up.

I'm not sure how much time I put into my first playthrough. (You could power through it fast, but I enjoyed taking my time.) Probably spent around 20 hours on it. Will definitely replay it at least once or twice more - but I think I'll wait a while, and reduce my backlog of games a bit in the interim.

New Must Have for Your Library: “Poetry of the Taliban” – No Joke

By Debbie Schlussel

Yes, there is actually a book out now, entitled, “Poetry of the Taliban (Columbia/Hurst).” You know, the cold-blooded Islamic murderers of countless American soldiers and even more of their own fellow Afghans. Yup, the same guys that just shot a woman at point blank range nine times to settle a dispute between two Talibani officers. The same guys who execute seven-year-old boys after using and gang-raping them as sex slaves. And the Los Angeles Times has a disgusting article gushing about in probably the same way they would have about the “Poetry of the SS” had the same writers been around then. Pol Pot’s ghost is regretting that all this hipster worship came too late for his poetry edition.

Best-selling author and former New York Times Reporter Joel Engel–whose best-selling books include The Oldest Rookie: Big-League Dreams from a Small-Town Guy [Hardcover], which became the hit movie, “The Rookie,” and a new book, “L.A. ’56: A Devil in the City of Angels” (which I’ll soon review on this site)–has a FANTASTIC critique/commentary on this exercise in absurdity and the LA Times’ sickening drool-fest. Here’s a taste–note that he’s also posted some of the “poetry”:

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, Kindle or hard copy? But maybe I should wait for the boxed set with Sonnets from Portuguese Nazis and Love Songs of the KKK.

Here’s how the Times’s Laura King summarizes the Taliban’s artistic efforts:

Denounced by some as propaganda by the enemy in America’s longest war, hailed by others as a rare window on a largely hidden world, the verse assembled in “Poetry of the Taliban” is by turns bombastic and introspective, dark and mirthful, ugly and lyrical — and perhaps above all, surprising in its unabashedly emotional tone.

Why we need a “rare window” when for a decade we’ve had a front-row seat is unexplained

Read the rest.

Okay, maybe I am not as good as Mohammed the explosives expert, but then I don’t have the gift of killing, err, poetry writing.

Oops correction.

Sorry for the grammatical mistake.

    Sorry I didn’t notice your correction.

I wonder if they have any poems about that famous man from Nantucket.

Ari Mendelson on July 11, 2012 at 5:40 pm

    You mean the one who kept all his cash in a bucket?

    Miranda Rose Smith on July 12, 2012 at 3:19 am

More Taliban poetry:

We will slaughter the Jews,
and the Christians in their pews,

We will rule and create much drama,
Thank allah for our hidden ally Obama.

Jonathan E. Grant on July 11, 2012 at 5:52 pm

Unfortunately there is a precedent, which many readers of this post will remember.

In the 60s especially there was a great deal of anti-Semitic poetry written by Blacks, which was glorified by the ‘intellectuals’. In 1968, the Metropolitan Museum of Art had an exhibit called Harlem on my Mind (sic). The catalog opened with this lovely poem by a Harlem 5th grader

Hey Jewboy, with that Yarmulke on your Head
You Paleface Jewboy, I wish you were dead.

And all the so-called intellectuals thought that was a wonderful poem. So they don’t learn.

Little Al on July 11, 2012 at 6:20 pm

    I remember that poem.

    Miranda Rose Smith on July 12, 2012 at 3:20 am

I didn’t even think the Taliban WERE capable of ANY art. They spend more time destroying it than making it.

Ghostwriter on July 11, 2012 at 6:24 pm

    I was surprised they wrote poetry! We know very well what Islamic terrorists think of the works of Man as well of people.

    In the news awhile back, there was a story of Islamic terrorists destroying a Sufi Mosque in Timbuktu. I really can’t wait for a poetry volume from them to be released soon!

    NormanF on July 11, 2012 at 7:29 pm

SS officers, NKVD officers and Pol Pot’s thugs wrote poetry. So does Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood!

What on earth does that prove – except to show that very evil people can be culturally refined? It doesn’t prove they’re decent people!

Intellectuals have been the worst mass murderers in history. Whoever assembled this islamic terrorist poetry anthology should be take out and… well let’s just say given the same kind of treatment the “Taliban poets” part to those in their sight.

Sick, depraved and outrageous fall far short in describing the nature of this “literary work.” Like we all really need to hear how Islamic terrorists spend their free time when they’re not killing people!

A writer isn’t necessarily a good person – as I told you all about Oliver Stone this past weekend, brilliance at the form doesn’t necessarily mean the person is conscientious towards others. This is just more “halal crap” our popular culture neither needs nor wants to know.

NormanF on July 11, 2012 at 7:22 pm

@ JEG – Hey, your Taliban-poems are lovely! Who needs the book?

DS_ROCKS! on July 11, 2012 at 7:49 pm

“Novels of the Muslim World” for 500, Alex.
The answer: Tom SawYer Head Off.
The correct answer in the form of a question: What is the novel that’s topped the Muslim World’s best seller list for 72,000 straight weeks.

Those who are kind to the cruel are cruel to the kind.

I don’t care WHAT I was. I always knew when something this bogus and heinous was WRONG. Some people don’t and I want to know who they are so I can shun them and tell all who will listen what pitch they are.

Skunky on July 11, 2012 at 8:16 pm

    Skunky, I think this calls for mandatory gender reassignment followed by a frontal lobotomy. It would allow the Taliban to achieve their true lyrical potential without any hormonal or anger management issues getting in the way. 😉

    Worry on July 11, 2012 at 10:14 pm

It is about as edifying as the diary of a serial killer would be. Also, most of those foot soldiers are illiterate, so this jumble was put together by the editors/authors to a great extent.

Worry on July 11, 2012 at 8:27 pm

Let’s not forget that the late Ayatollah Khomeini also wrote poetry, an activity he enjoyed when not issuing rulings that sex with animals was acceptable in Islam and that Muslim girls should, ideally, be married off before they begin to menstruate, citing the Prophet’s consummation of his marriage to the nine year old Aisha.

commonsense on July 11, 2012 at 8:35 pm

    Yes, he was such a charming gent.

    Worry on July 11, 2012 at 8:41 pm

I don’t have much to say on this article, but as I was reading JEG’s few comments with his satire-like poems, I completely LMAO.

That was terrific and hilarious Jonathan, and DS_Rock is right, who needs the book.

“A nation is defined by its borders, language & culture!”

Sean R. on July 11, 2012 at 8:44 pm

    Read the satire poems the author wrote at the link. They are hilarious.

    Louie Louie on July 11, 2012 at 8:59 pm

Do you think they’d give good spin to Israeli settler poetry? Debbie there’s exciting news from Egypt. The Brotherhood wants to destroy the pyramids and the sphinx thing. I for one can’t wait to see those go up in dust. Without western visitors and dollars Egypt will get more and more backwards and in a few years Israel can take back the Sinai, B’H.

You should write a book and put it up in the same section as this author 🙂 Maybe you’ll separate some Mullahs from their moolah

Infidel on July 11, 2012 at 11:30 pm

Love Songs of the KKK.

“Love Songs of the KKK?” Quite possibly that wouldn’t be so bad. I’m willing to bet you there’ve been hillbilly and country western bands, over the years, made up of misicians and singers who secretly-or openly-supported the KKK-and sang quite well.

Miranda Rose Smith on July 12, 2012 at 3:16 am

More poetry from the Taliban and Muslim Brotherhood:

To kill a Jew is a beautiful thing,
It makes me want to stand up and sing,

Killing a Christian is not bad either,
Afterwards, a smoke and a breather.

Jonathan E. Grant on July 12, 2012 at 8:39 am

Oh, Allah in heaven
I’ll meet you at eleven
For you, I would drop to my knees
And kill those who would sneeze
At your eternal truths.

Profound. Simply profound.

Seek on July 12, 2012 at 11:11 am

Allah sweet Allah
Attacking infidels is moot
Cause when you think about it
They too know how to shoot.

Put that in your unfiltered camel and smoke it Taliban.

Ken b on July 12, 2012 at 11:35 am

There was a young Imam from Afghanistan
Who had doubts about being a man
He wore robes and fine hats
And loved other men where they sat
And controlled his lusts with the Koran.

He thought about surahs
He thought about adhan
and all day he thought about the Din
But for all of his thoughts
Which came mostly to naught
He thought most about his lust for sin.

His gallant reflex
He beat into submission
with twigs and boughs
and anything permissive
He did not want to think about sex
So he thought about sheep
and the rest of that tale is tawdry and cheap

His days came to and end
When he participated in
A bomb making class for the Talyib
He crossed his wires, because he was tired
From all of that thinking of sheep.

So now he resides
In a place without Tides
In a place hotter than hot
With men like him who exclaim
“Fresh meat” for their games
And nary a virgin in sight.

The End

Jack on July 12, 2012 at 11:40 am

On a broader scale, it has been surprising to me for a long time how many people maintain intellectual pretensions. They may be stupid as hell, or maybe average, or even a little above average on the bell-shaped curve, but they try to maintain an aura of intellectual competence or ability.

Sometimes they bone up on one narrow subject, and discuss it incessantly, to try to impress people. Sometimes they recite random facts that they have memorized or mismemorized to try to impress people at the cocktail party or dinner table.

And sometimes they write poetry.

They often do this to present a facade of intelligence and sensitivity, even if the poetry is lousy, and it is form over substance. Our society is so dumbed-down that most of the people who listen to them either can’t tell the difference, or for ulterior (political) motives don’t want to tell the difference.

And in a broader sense, this trend is exacerbated by the movement to ‘express your feelings’. In this regard, the feelgood movement and the pseudo-intellectual movement intersect.

    Ken b on July 12, 2012 at 3:19 pm

    Skzion, I’m aware you were sarcastic and were trying to be funny by voicing an untrue stereotype about Poles. I am ready to show the documented factual and not hearsay sources to strenghten my argument why it is an ignorant and harmful, can you?

    Still I would like to provide a link to a couple of late Wislawa Szymborska’s poems.
    Czeslaw Milosz is also worth reading.

    Bart on July 13, 2012 at 6:26 am

I think it would be pretty funny if Achmed the dead terrist (Jeff Dunham) did a comedy routine where he read from this poetry book.

I try to do it to that animal too!

3 men had raped her, my daughter had claimed
not enough witnesses to save her from shame
i shed a few tears as i slit her throat
i could have traded her for a goat!

…maybe not all that funny, but that’s the value of life in the death cult

theShadow on July 12, 2012 at 5:15 pm

The whole concept is quite depraved. Reminds me of the Eddie Murphy ‘Kill my Landlord…C-I-L-L…kill’ sketch, and just as absurd.

Hitler was an artist, Stalin a poet.
So much for the fine arts.

The education revolution America needs

Good editorial in the Washington Post today from Eugene Hickok on the limits of NCLB - or any federal law, for that matter - in driving real education reform. Read it here.

  • 99.9% pure what, though? That's what I want to know.

    (Hint: It doesn't start with the letter 'I')

We're Cheesing Out Over This Chicken Broccoli Bake

Get ready for the most satisfying meal ever.

Most Popular

Sometimes you just need a dinner that makes you go "Ooohhhh, yeah!" Like when you've had a hard day. Or you need a hug, preferably in the form of melted cheese and creamy rice. I had one of those days last week. The doom and gloom of April showers coupled with a stressful work week had me craving comfort in a bowl.

That comfort materialized as this cheesy rice bake, stuffed with chicken, broccoli, and cheddar. But the brilliance of this dish is not the flavor combo. It's the fact that you're making it all in one pan ... one pan, people!

Most Popular

Here's how: You cook the chicken with onion and garlic until it's at the point where you're pretty sure it's cooked through but still a tad timid to take a bite. Then you shove it to one side of the skillet and add uncooked rice. Pour over chicken broth and heavy cream and let it cook until the rice is creamy. In about 15 to 20 minutes the rice will absorb all the liquid and turn into a creamy delight. Stir in cheese and broccoli—and then top with panko breadcrumbs—and you're in biz.

Grant awarded to restore Community House roof

Friday, July 10, 2015

An iconic building in Trumann will be getting much needed repairs thanks to a grant from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. The AHPP recently announced it has awarded over $2 million in grants for projects throughout Arkansas, including a Historic Preservation Restoration Grant of $39,460 for the Trumann Community House.

Mayor Barbara Lewallen wrote the application for the 2:1 matching grant last year when she was director for the Trumann Chamber of Commerce. She said the Community House needs work in several areas such as the windows, the electrical system, and the double doors off the gym, but the main thing it needs is a new roof. "We can use it [the grant] to do the most critical things," Lewallen said. "I know we'll start on the roof and then select the most critical areas."

The Community House Foundation will decide which areas of the building will be repaired using the remaining grant money after the roof is replaced. A plan for repairs must be submitted by mid-July, and the foundation has one year to make the repairs.

The full story is available in the July 9 edition of the Poinsett County Democrat Tribune.

diy project: bark + straw fall wreath

by Brenna

With Halloween over, the holiday season is technically in full swing. I know I am not alone in saying that I feel like fall and thanksgiving always come so quickly. This year, we are bringing the holiday festivities here. With a baby due in December, I have to stay put, but am lucky enough to have our whole family come celebrate at our house.  I wanted to make a welcoming wreath but am not ready for winter proper quite yet. Easy solution: I made a bark wrapped wreath form that will transition into wintery form quite easily. With the last green leaf buds added to preserve the feeling of early fall, I can change these to little white balls of felted wool and silvered leaves as winter approaches.  It’s a simple nod to the holiday season without jumping in yet! —Brenna

Read the full how-to after the jump!

  • Bark (birch or paperbark melaleuca works well)
  • Straw wreath form
  • Scissors or exacto knife
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Decorative paper or fabric for leaves

1. Loosely measure the wreath form to determine how long the bark strips need to be.

2. Cut or tear the bark into strips at least 4 inches wide, and as many as 12 inches wide.

3. Cover the wreath form with the strips. Start by lying the strip down, and putting the wreath form on top of the strip, centered its length. Use hot glue to secure each end of the strip to the middle back of the wreath form.

4. Work around the wreath form making sure there are no gaps in the bark where the straw will show through.

5. Once the wreath is covered, poke a couple of twigs through the bark, and use hot glue to secure.

6. Cut leaf shapes from the paper or fabric and hot glue them to the tips of the twig… or dive directly into winter and use some silver leaves or little fabric berries.

7. Hang on your door and feel the holiday cheer.

Default Wahaaayyy!! QXP 7 out today

Just got an email from a reatailer (PC World) that QXP 7 is out today. Well Well!!! The price is £245 or 292 incl. VAT for the upgrade and £749 or £880 incl.VAT (pheew!!) I've said it before, QXP is too pricey. As I see it, Their main competitor ain't InDesign, but the Creative Suite as a whole.

Compare the prices to Adobe CS2 from the same retailer:

Standard £639.99 or £752 incl. VAT

Prem £795.99 or £934 incl. VAT

So its plain to see that CS, even the Standard version makes better finanancial sense esp when you consider you're getting Photoshop and Illustrator which together cost more than Standard. InDesign becomes the icing on the cake so to speak. Quark have lowered their prices a little but not by a large amount.

Quark Xpress Lite anyone???

Destinations, Dreams and Dogs - International adventure with a fast-track family (& dogs) of Old World values, adopting the Russian-Italian-American good life on the go…!

Scotties Who Sabotage

Have you ever had a dog that takes umbrage at the fact that you have a life of your own? For Misha and Grisha, our Scottish terriers, all must revolve around them… or it must cease to exist. They wish to sabotage my every effort to work, to sleep, to eat, and to exercise. This is their job– and they are very good at it.

For the New Year, I have certain goals and objectives. When I start to work, frequently from my home office, the moans and loud yawns commence.

“Misha, hush up! Can’t you yawn quietly?” I reprimand him when taking an international phone call.

This is followed by Grisha stretching like a yogic pilates professor, another protracted groan emanating with front paws outstretched, concave back, and bottom stretching upward to the sky. You would think that the weight of the world was upon them. Instead, their sole responsibilities are something along the lines of: get up, yawn, groan, stretch; go outside, bark at every rabbit, squirrel, bird and waving branch, do their business; come inside and get a reward, lick their private parts; dance for their breakfast, wolf it down in 30 seconds flat; lay down for a brief nap full of leg jitters, muffled yelps, and eye twitches, until they need to go out again. Repeat the process several times a day.

I sit at my computer and the boys hop up on a chair, facing me eye to pleading eye: they want a massage. Used to the finer things in life, Misha and Grisha feel that we run The Scottie Spa. Tickle their tummy and rub down their back, to the manor born. With their Russian names, soon they’ll be demanding a steam bath in the banya and being beaten with birch branches. At least mud masks are out of the question with their long, black beards, and cucumber slices on the eyes also a no-go, hindering their spying capabilities. The two dogs are now at the expert level of surveillance and sabotage.

When I eat, I must sneak my food. They know the hand that feeds them. The rest of the family can eat normally at the table and we refuse to feed them any scrap at that time. But when I carry my plate to the sink, they follow hot on my tail, nudging my leg repeatedly like sharks. It has happened where they will lay crosswise in the doorway from the dining room to the kitchen, blocking my movements unless they get a handout. It’s the same, first thing in the morning, when I emerge from a shower in the bathroom, and again, they lie in wait for their morning victuals.

This lying in wait has been taken to the extreme recently. There is a couch outside of my bedroom door. It is long and black, just like little Grisha who blends in all too well. While Misha stretches out on the floor, back against the couch, Grisha assumes a Cheshire cat pose, reclining on the couch’s high, narrow back. I pass by him a couple of times before my morning coffee takes effect, not even seeing him, as he observes me with his ever-moving eyes. It’s only when the tail starts its metronome-like rhythm that I glimpse him.

“Grisha!” My pats and kisses only serve to speed up the thumping tempo.

The two of them get plenty of exercise on our daily constitutionals, or when we let them tear out the back door of one house where the backyard is fenced. They dart this way and that, making a full circumnavigation of territories new and old, checking and rechecking for any perceived intruders. But should I pop in an exercise DVD for myself, look out, world! The dogs much prefer that I be a big, old, lazy couch potato like them.

As I step in time to the music, Misha begins to cry and whine. He jumps and prances, but can’t quite get the steps right. He knows that this is a play time, yet is unsure of who does what. At a key moment, he leaps in front of me and I lightly kick him square in the smacker.

“Misha! I’m sorry!” I hold his face, dropping to my knees. If I try to put them outside the room during my exercise, they howl and scratch at the door. The only thing I can do is take to my bathroom and pop the DVD into a computer there.

“Step, two, three, four!” I march and lift and twist on the sly.

The bathroom has become my bunker of choice. Much as in Soviet days when every hotel room light fixture held a listening device, I have swept the master bath and found it to be bug-free. I am safe from the Scotties’ ever-attentive probing gazes, and sabotaging efforts, though I have come to the conclusion that my little guys most likely work for the KGB, now known as the FSB.

My saboteurs willl not find me here. This is the one place where they give me a break… or I give them a bath! They provide me a wide berth in the bathroom, but it’s only a matter of time before they invade this last vestige of tranquility. And so I’ve taken to eating, or exercising, or working there upon occasion. Soon I’ll need to move in a desk. It’s the only place where I can get a minute of peace and quiet, and pursue my own life.

I imagine myself to have outsmarted the little whipper-snappers, but for all I know, they’re out raiding the refrigerator or watching international dog shows on TV, or doing Special Ops training exercises sliding on their bellies under the furniture or parachuting into the family room, rather than sprawled across the doorway, tails wagging, waiting for my exit. They have me just where they want me… especially at night.

Sleeping is almost impossible. For me, not for them. Both dogs insist on sleeping inbetween my legs. Listen, I grew up with a dog who loved to be behind the curve of the legs, but these Scotties could have a career in law enforcement:Â  Spread ’em!Â  Then they circle round and round and plunk down for a long winter’s nap. I never thought I had arthritis or other aches and pains, but currently, every morning, I’m starting to wonder as I must lie immobile for the entire night. Grisha will sometimes move to Benedetto’s head, climbing on top of the pillow, and doubling as a warm winter’s bedcap.

Difficult as it is with these little double-crossers who demand my undivided attention, whenever they reach out to nudge and kiss me, I am theirs. Mission accomplished.

Trump Orders Military to Reject New Transgender Recruits

President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military on Friday to reject openly transgender people as new recruits but authorized Defense Secretary James Mattis to decide how to handle transgender personnel already serving in the armed forces.

Trump also ordered the military to stop paying for gender-reassignment surgical procedures on March 23 except to protect the health of someone who has already begun the process of reassigning sex, according to a senior White House official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.

The Defense Department will have six months to consider how to handle openly transgender people currently serving in the military under a memorandum that Trump signed on Friday, the official said. The memorandum directs the department to consider unit cohesion, applicable law and resources in making the determination, the official said.

Trump announced July 26 he would ban transgender people from serving “in any capacity” in the U.S. military, reversing President Barack Obama’s policy to let them serve openly and drawing immediate criticism from gay-rights groups, many Democratic lawmakers and even some conservative Republicans..

That announcement, in a series of early morning tweets, caught Pentagon officials and key members of Congress off-guard, and the Pentagon said it wouldn’t change its policies until it received a formal order from the president.

Formal Notification

“There will be no modifications to the current policy until the President’s direction has been received by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary has issued implementation guidance,” the office of Joint Chiefs Chairman Joseph Dunford said in a statement after Trump’s July tweets. “In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect.”

Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said the Defense Department “has received formal guidance” from the White House and “more information will be forthcoming.”

The White House waited until 6 p.m. on an August Friday, when the media audience is usually low, to announce the formal notification had come in the presidential memorandum. Trump, who often turns the signing of presidential directives into media events, in this case issued the memorandum out of sight.

Rather than say anything about the formal order in the immediate aftermath, he tweeted about the hurricane dominating media coverage on Friday.

“Storm turned Hurricane is getting much bigger and more powerful than projected. Federal Government is on site and ready to respond. Be safe!” Trump said.

Black Hawk Down

Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, a wounded Iraq War veteran, blasted the ban in a statement issued ahead of the White House announcement.

“When I was bleeding to death in my Black Hawk helicopter after I was shot down, I didn’t care if the American troops risking their lives to help save me were gay, straight, transgender, black, white or brown,” Duckworth said. “If you are willing to risk your life for our country and you can do the job, you should be able to serve — no matter your gender identity or sexual orientation. Anything else is not just discriminatory, it is disruptive to our military and it is counterproductive to our national security.”

Trump said in July his concern hinged on the additional medical costs and “disruption” of such troops. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders cited “military readiness and unit cohesion.”

Care related to gender reassignment costs the Pentagon $2.4 million to $8.4 million annually, the larger number a little more than 0.1 percent of the military’s entire health-care bill, according to a 2016 Rand Corporation study. By contrast, the military spent $84 million on Viagra and other drugs for erectile dysfunction for active-duty troops, eligible family members and retirees in 2014 alone, the Military Times reported.

Treatment of transgender people has become a flashpoint in the U.S. culture wars as social conservatives lead fights in some states to require that students, and sometimes adults, use school and public restrooms corresponding to their gender at birth.

Trump has attempted as a candidate to thread a needle between the two sides. In his campaign, he cultivated evangelical voters while at the same time promising to “fight for” the gay and transgender community.
