A Suicide Bomber Blows Killed as Naval Headquarters

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan News update: A suicide bomber struck near the naval headquarters in federal capital on Wednesday, police said, killing a navy official.

The attacker walked up to a checkpoint at the entrance to the complex and detonated his explosives when challenged by security forces, scattering bits of flesh across a busy road in sector E8 in Islamabad, police and witnesses said.

“The bomber was about 17 to 18 years old. He was wearing a suicide jacket. He came to the gate and tried to enter the complex,” Fazeel Asghar, Islamabad’s top administration official, told reporters.

“Security officials checked him and one navy police constable, Mohammad Ashraf, asked him to take off his coat. The bomber then blew himself up and the navy constable died in the blast,” he said.

Two other navy personnel were critically wounded, he added.

Witnesses described the scene in the aftermath of the blast.

“I was in a nearby street when I heard a loud explosion,” said witness Imtiaz Ali. “When I reached the main Margalla Road there was smoke near the navy complex. I saw three soldiers lying wounded.”

Navy officials were seen rushing towards the gate. Two ambulances reached the blast site and shifted the injured to the navy hospital inside the complex.

The windows of several cars were shattered in the powerful blast, and police sealed the road and diverted traffic.

50th Wedding Anniversary Gifts

50th Wedding Anniversary Gifts, A friend needs a card for a 50th wedding anniversary so I offered to make one of my cards I love to do … This is actually 6 cards folded, stacked and tied with the Zutter BIA.

I added a bunch of tapes in the wire, and each page is in relief, cuts are added, there are pockets for storing messages and feelings, … death cuts come from the basket story and feelings of celebrations, weddings solutions. I added more jewels and ribbons, and my little Cuttlebug folders importance were very busy. I photograph each page, but gives you an idea of how he saw the card.

The last page is very similar to this page. It has a pocket to hold a label that is an “and” label. This page has a pocket to slip a beautiful sentiment in the anniversary.

A Moveable Feast

Latest News Updated, A Moveable Feast: A Moveable Feast is a set of memoirs by American author Ernest Hemingway about his years in Paris as part of the American expatriate circle of writers in the 1920s. In addition to painting a picture of Hemingway’s time as a struggling young writer, the book also sketches the story of Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley.
A Moveable Feast is considered by many to contain some of his best writing. Some of the prominent people to make an appearance in the book include Aleister Crowley, Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ford Madox Ford, Hilaire Belloc, Pascin, John Dos Passos, James Joyce and Gertrude Stein. The book was edited by Ernest’s fourth wife, Mary Hemingway, and published in 1964, four years after Hemingway’s death.

The book contains Hemingway’s personal accounts, observations, and stories of his experience in 1920s Paris. He provides the detail of specific addresses of cafes, bars, hotels, and apartments that still can be found in modern day Paris. The title was suggested by Hemingway’s friend A.E. Hotchner, author of Papa Hemingway, and comes from a conversation the two once had about the city during Hotchner’s first visits there:

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”

Editing by Mary Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway worked on the manuscript of A Moveable Feast during his later years, painstakingly rewriting several key passages, and had prepared a final draft before he died. After his death, however, his fourth wife, Mary, in her capacity as Hemingway’s literary executor, engaged in extensive editing. Literary scholar Gerry Brenner from the University of Montana documents her edits and questions their validity in many cases in his paper, “Are We Going to Hemingway’s Feast?”, concluding that some of them were misguided, and others derived from questionable motives. This would contradict with Mary’s stated policy for her role as executor, which had been an avowed hands-off approach.

After examining the vast collection of Ernest Hemingway’s personal papers, which were opened to the public in 1979 with the opening of the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston and included notes and initial drafts of A Moveable Feast, Brenner indicates that Mary changed the order of the chapters in Hemingway’s final draft, to “preserve chronology”. Brenner notes how this seems to disrupt the intent of the book, interrupting the series of juxtaposed character sketches between such individuals as Sylvia Beach (owner of the bookstore “Shakespeare and Company”) and Gertrude Stein. Additionally, Brenner points out that one whole chapter, titled “Birth of a New School”, which had been dropped by Hemingway altogether, was inserted back in by Mary without sufficient justification in its contents or execution.

By far the most serious edit, Brenner alleges, is that Mary deleted a lengthy apology to Hadley, Hemingway’s first wife and perhaps intended heroine. This apology appeared in various forms in every draft of the book, and Brenner suggests that Mary deleted it because it impugned her own role as wife with its implications that Hadley was the most important spouse.

A News Search Engine, Goby

Latest news Updated, A News Search Engine, Goby: If you’re like me, you like to make the most out of what little free time you have. One way of finding ideas for activities without wasting precious minutes is by searching online. But sometimes the process of browsing the Web can suck you in and waste more time than it saves.
This week, I tested a tool called Goby (pronounced go-be), www.goby.com, which works as an activity search engine to help you find things to do. It tries to be simple enough so that you can get some ideas and start doing the things you want to do rather than wasting hours in front of the computer.

Goby uses three boxes —What, Where and When—with drop-down menus to find results for your query. It crawls the Web searching what it considers high quality information from 500 sources and employs a part-human, part-machine review process to ensure first-rate results. Goby searches through over 200 categories, including live music, art exhibits, outdoor festivals, spas, bed-and-breakfasts and restaurants.

Using Goby was an emotional roller coaster. With very little effort I found things in Washington, D.C., that I’ve never heard of in the seven-plus years I’ve lived here, including tea with Martha Washington and a stuffed Civil War hero horse on display at the Smithsonian. But I also found inaccurate Goby results like an activity in Washington state rather than Washington, D.C., or photos that were supposed to represent a tennis center but instead showed a celebrity’s child with the same name. And sometimes the same results were listed four times in a row.

Goby’s results took a serious nose dive when I looked outside the city in my hometown of Allentown, Pa. I searched for all performing arts and theater near Allentown, an area that I know first-hand has plenty to offer in the way of music, theater and dance. Goby returned two results—one for the Nutcracker in December and another for a Shakespeare play that was put on last July. A quick check of my hometown newspaper’s Web site showed hundreds of performances to attend in the coming months.

Goby.com has been available to the public for only a few weeks and it is still working out some kinks. The more people use it, the more accurate its results will become—or at least that’s what its founders hope will happen. When Goby’s search results are accurate, they include the kinds of thing locals would want to see or do in their own hometown, and that’s no small feat. But people won’t have a lot of patience for some of the erroneous results that now show up in Goby. Also, this activity search engine currently lacks features like the ability to build and save itineraries, make one-click ticket purchases or book reservations.

Though Goby’s query boxes ask users to enter What, Where and When, the When is always an optional specification, and people can enter either What or Where if they only know one of these factors. General suggestions of categories also are made in Goby’s drop-down menus. The What box opens five categories: things to do, food and drink, events, places to stay and, right now, fall fun; many of these open several, more-specified subcategories. For example, I started a search and followed a four-part trail: things to do, outdoor recreation, horseback riding and horseback riding trails—all within the same drop-down menu.

Unfortunately, Goby doesn’t let you build an itinerary. So if you find a few possible activities for a weekend trip to Williamsburg, Va., and then use “What’s Nearby” to find a pub for lunch, a restaurant for dinner and a bed-and-breakfast for the night, you can’t save all of these findings using Goby. The company says it plans to incorporate these features in the near future.

Goby would be incredibly helpful if it had a mobile app. This Sunday when I was across town from my house and had an unexpected block of free time, I could have used Goby to find a nearby art exhibit or a spot for apple picking. Goby says it is working on an iPhone app, which it expects to release later this year.

If you get lucky with Goby, you’ll find activities that let you do as its name says: Go, be and enjoy your surrounding area. But the site’s results need to be much more accurate for me to start relying on it full time.

Bruce Hornsby

Following a critically acclaimed box-set, a duet recording with Ricky Scaggs and a jazz trio album w/ Christian McBride & Jack DeJohnette, the beloved songwriter/pianist/vocalist Bruce Hornsby returns to the format that has brought his greatest commercial success. Accompanied by his seasoned touring band the Noisemakers, Hornsby’s stellar new songs are presented in dynamic arrangements with his signature blend of rock, country, pop & jazz and featuring some of the finest vocal performances of Bruce’s illustrious career.
The title track is the end theme for Spike Lee’s documentary Kobe at Work about the NBA superstar Kobe Bryant. Bruce also wrote the score (his first). Hornsby has a featured role (as himself) in the film World’s Greatest Dad opening August 21st starring Robin Williams directed by Bobcat Goldthwait and featuring several Hornsby songs including the Levitate track “Invisible” A

The album is the first Hornsby release co-credited to his longstanding touring band the Noisemakers, an appropriately eclectic outfit that includes bassist J.V. Collier, guitarist Doug Derryberry, drummer Sonny Emory, reeds player Bobby Read and keyboardist John “J.T.” Thomas.

Levitate (which Hornsby co-produced with studio vet Tony Berg) also features guest appearances by Eric Clapton on “Space Is the Place” and fiddler Andy Leftwitch, a longtime mainstay of Ricky Skaggs’ band, on “The Black Rats of London.”

The album is dedicated to the memory of Hornsby’s talented nephew R.S. Hornsby, who frequently performed with Bruce as guest guitarist, and who was killed in a car accident six days after recording a memorable solo on “Continents Drift.”
