If you thought the recent Miley Cyrus photo scandal drew a lot of attention, you are yet to see anything. Later this year, The Hannah Montana Movie hits theaters. Expect lines down the block at every theater around the country, as well as screams by teenage girls loud enough to send dogs scurrying. Below, Cyrus flashes her signature peace sign to cameras, [...]

Baltimore — (TFN): Opponents of the war in Iraq like to claim that neither Congress nor the U.S. Senate would have voted to support the war if the offspring of congressmen, senators, and members of the Administration were forced to actively participate in a military capacity. In other words, there can be no just war without [...]

The World peace begins with each individual achieving a state of peace within themselves. We can begin to do that for ourselves by becoming aware of the "negative" influences in our lives and choosing consciously to eliminate or shift those influences. One way to achieve this is by sending the following Beautiful Peace images to your friends on Myspace, Orkut, Friendster hi5 etc., thus s

Americans who had known the reason for WWII called for conservative patriotism, conformity, and haircuts as even greater numbers of young Americans and Vietnamese were being slaughtered in our senseless Southeast Asian war.

Time to dig deeperI've been blogging about personal finance now for several months. During that time one person I've heard about time and again is Dave Ramsey and his baby steps.

There is manifestly more to the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India(IPI) Gas Pipeline than meets the eye. In my previous post, I had reiterated my argument that the pipeline would be a security disaster for India, as should have been clear to informed Indians who, despite the clear risk, have been more than active protagonists of the project.The Times of India of May 12, 2008 carries a very illuminating report about an undersea pipeline being considered to bring gas to India from the Gulf. This pipeline will start from a point in Oman and will terminate in Western India. The project, to be executed by an international consortium, will bring gas not just from Oman but other countries in the gas abundant Gulf region to the closest and biggest market for the commodity. It will thus become a relative

THE Sari Club - where dozens of Australians were killed in the Bali bombings - will remain derelict after authorities rejected a plan to make the site a peace park.It was hoped the site would become a memorial to the 202 people - 88 of them Australians - who died in the October 2002 terrorist attack.But Balinese officials said this week they could not accommodate the park in Kuta.The news has devastated Dallas Finn, whose five-year campaign heading the Peace Park Foundation has cost him $300,000 in lost wages and money that he has pumped into the scheme."It was all go. We had the support of government departments - and now this," said Mr Finn, who moved to Bali for 18 months to organise the campaign and work with community leaders.Indonesia News Blog:

"Noi tutti vogliamo aiutarci vicendevolmente.Gli esseri umani sono fatti così.Vogliamo vivere della reciproca felicità, ma non della reciproca infelicità. Non vogliamo odiarci e disprezzarci l'un l'altro.In questo mondo c'è posto per tutti, la natura è ricca ed è sufficiente per tutti noi. La vita può essere felice e magnifica, ma noi l'abbiamo dimenticato. L'avidità ha avvelenato i nostri cuori, ha chiuso il mondo dietro una barricata di odio, ci ha fatto marciare, col passo dell'oca, verso l'infelicità e lo spargimento di sangue.Abbiamo aumentato la velocità, ma ci siamo chiusi in noi stessi.Le macchine che danno l'abbondanza ci hanno dato povertà, la scienza ci ha trasformato in cinici, l'abilità ci ha resi duri e spietati.

Secrets of Felix After investigations we came up with Felix's secrets (Bastards' Master). His real name is Coffman. He is an American citizen; he is a rich man from a rich family. Moreover, Coffman is the owner of MB Trading- a brokerage firm- which is registered in the States. Also, his brother in law is one of the owners of FX Solutions, which is a brokerage firm also registered in the States. So, Coffman, or as all of you used to call him a Felix, is the owner of Forex Peace Army (FPA, which was Forex Bastards before), Forex Diamonds, King Signal Forex, and there is the newest predicate that is owned by him. After all previous announcements, there is no need to show you who Coffman (Felix) is, the bastard who make allegations about other patent brokers, and at the same t

History is against any peace deals with the Taliban. At least three such initiatives (so called ‘peace deals’) had been signed with the Taliban in the past, only to be collapsed soon after. When Rehman Malik, adviser to Pakistan’s Prime Minister on internal affairs welcomed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud‘s latest offer for truce and peace talks, many observers (including me) thought that the newly crowned civilian government in Pakistan shouldn’t...(read more)

The Islamic Hamas movement would be willing to accept a peace treaty with Israel negotiated by President Mahmoud Abbas, if the deal was approved by Palestinians in a referendum, former US president Jimmy Carter said Monday. 'They said they would accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders if approved by the Palestinians and that they would accept the right to live as a neighbour next door in peace, provided the agreements negotiated by Prime Minister (Ehud) Olmert and President (Mahmoud) Abbas will be submitted to the Palestinians for their overall approval,' he told an audience in Jerusalem. The comments, and similar remarks by exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal in a recent interview with a Palestinian daily, reflect a major change in the stance of Hamas, whose leaders have

Photograph from WikipediaThis year marks the 41th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia which made it possible for all (straight) Americans to marry outside of their race. To commemorate the occasion, every year on June 12th is Loving Day, cities all over the country celebrate the Loving family and the sacrifices they made so that all (straight) Americans can love and marry openly. Below is an excerpt of a statement Mildred gave to mark the 40th anniversary of the case. "The older generation’s fears and prejudices have given way, and today’s young people realize that if someone loves someone they have a right to marry. Surrounded as I am now by wonderful children and grandchildren, not a day goes by that I don’t think of Richard and our love, our right to marry, and how much it meant

The continuing saga of Israeli’s subversion of the peace process by constructing new housing settlements on the West Bank porceeds without any serious effort to halt this effort to hamper achievement of peace with Palestinians.

VATICAN CITY, 3 MAY 2008 (VIS) -This evening Benedict XVI presided at the praying of the Rosary in the Roman basilica of St. Mary Major, "Marian temple par excellence" in which, as the Holy Father recalled, the image of Mary "Salus Populi Romani" is venerated."In the experience of my generation", he said, "May evenings evoke pleasant memories of vespertine appointments to pay homage to the Virgin Mary. ... Today we together confirm that the holy Rosary is not some pious practice relegated to the past, a prayer of distant times to be thought of nostalgically. Indeed, the Rosary is experiencing what is almost a new springtime"."In the modern world which is so dispersive, this prayer helps us to place Christ at the centre, as did the Virgin who meditated upon everything that was said about he

Maybe it's because I am not a person of importance but has anyone seen a list of what Israel was supposed to be offering Mahmoud Abbas? I have yet to see an offering list.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND—An international peace-crimes tribunal commenced legal proceedings against former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for alleged crimes against inhumanity Monday. "Jimmy Carter's political career includes a laundry list of anti-war-making offenses," said chief prosecutor Charles B. Simmons. "Carter's record of benevolence, diplomacy, and respect for human life is unrivaled in recent geopolitical history. For millions, the very sight of his face evokes memories of his administration's reign of tolerance." The former president, whom Simmons described as "relentless in his naked pursuit of everlasting global peace," has been sought by peace-crimes officers in the international war-making community for decades. Police apprehended Carter on July 25 in South Florida, w

The basic parameters of any peace deal between Israel and Syria have been clear for years. Israel wants diplomatic relations and an end to Syria acting as a sponsor of terror and a key ally of Iran. Syria wants the return of the Golan Heights as well as international recognition and financial aid from the West to prop up its economy.The strategically important Golan, with little biblical significance for Israel and whose settlers are less than hard-line, would become a demilitarised zone to prevent the attacks on the Galil that were rampant before it was captured in the 1967 Six-Day War. Syria has indicated its agreement to Israel keeping early-warning stations on the Golan and part of it remaining under Israeli control on a long-term lease or as a nature reserve.At least five Is

So, dear SoundRoots reader, by now you have recognized some of my preferences, and near the top are Afrobeat, Balkan brass, and pretty much anything with great global percussion. Not quite at the top is the catch-all known as "Latin alternative" -- an umbrella term almost as indescriptive as "world music," except that at least the former hints at what language to expect.Still, I know from some of your comments (hey...I've been meaning to talk to you about the lack of comments of late. So I will, later. But for now...) that some of you are fans of the emerging rock/pop/reggae/punk/etc sounds emerging from Latin American and expatriate Latinos, such as the Ireland-dwelling Rodrigo y Gabriela.So this one's for you.

You’ve always dreamed of planning the perfect wedding, but no matter how carefully you plan it, there are many things that can go wrong – things that are beyond your control. A wedding is an investment, and as the average cost of weddings rise, wedding insurance is needed more than ever. After all, you wouldn’t buy a new car that costs as much as a wedding without insuring it against damage!

I often try and tackle the entire week’s problems and difficulties in one day, often pitting myself against the opponent (but friend) of time. I feel so accomplished when my list is checked off and even better if I can add a few things I did just to check them off too! Sure I go to bed at night but my mind is still running. It often finds rest to be foreign and I pay with a rest-less night and another full day! I’m amazed at how little time I have to eat right and get the fitness activity I need but as soon as our fire tones are dropped, Jim and I put life on hold to help someone else, tend to the car wreck, put out the house fire… whatever it takes. Often we are up all night on a house fire, skipping the rest to help others. So I’m plotting my schedule to bank a little premium e

War against you, Peace for me! We all agree that War is bullshit. It is something that can only cause more harm, more pain, and more destruction. We have spent aeons writing about peace. Yet, the world as it stands today is on the verge of many battles, many conflicts. The road to peace has been littered with the wastage of wars. So, what can one do to put a final full stop to this phenomenon? By writing such blogs and reading / appreciating poems of peace, are we even denting the prospects of another battle? Is a Mother Teresa or Gandhi or Martin Luther an answer to all wars? How many of those noble souls do we expect to walk by, to sacrifice all they’ve got to stop us from living the life of misery? After all, isn’t it my life, our life? Isn’t this too important to grant c

My whole family have left for Hong Kong. I guess it is work, both official and personal, that make me station alone in Singapore. Sometimes I do feel funny as well when my family members are living their lives to the fullest with all the entertainments. Maybe, the answer is that poor people can enjoy travelling as well.For this trip, I have thrown in hundreds of dollars, partly as my mum’s birthday present.The greatest advantage of their absence is that the electricity bill will definitely drop without the usage of air-conditioner for both rooms, especially my elder brother’s room which he switches on for long hours. Next, I will definitely be able to concentrate on my stuffs when there is no one keeps trying to tell me stories when I am busy.Somehow, I feel weird and lonely. I suppose

"The Dove of Peace"Anzac DayAnzac Day, April 25 in Australia and New Zealand commemorates the landing in 1915, during World War I, of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The Allies attempted to take control of the strategic Dardanelles from Turkey, allied with the Central Powers, in the so-called Dardanelles Campaign, which began in February 1915. ANZAC forces landed on April 25 and secured a beachhead at what came to be called ANZAC Cove, on the Aegean side of the peninsula. Despite additional landings by other troops during the succeeding months, the Allies could not capture the strait, and they suffered enormous losses from battle and disease. By December 1915 the Allied troops, including the ANZAC forces, had been withdrawn. Nonetheless, the AN

The peace symbol -- which has had wars aplenty to rub up against since it was created 50 years ago -- is one of the most recognizable emblems in the world. And some peace symbol standard-bearers are using its 50th anniversary to highlight five years of protest since the war in Iraq began. Among them are peace veterans who marched when the symbol came into its own, spreading with the flood of protest some 40 years ago during the Vietnam War. The symbol was a much more sensitive subject then, said Ed Mulready, a member of Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth), a Wilmington-based peace organization that for almost five years has been holding twice-weekly vigils to urge the return of troops from Iraq. "At times during the Vietnam War, that logo meant you were taking sides," said Mulready,

After more than 30 years of civil war, ending in 1998, the Cambodian government has collected and destroyed more than 160,000 weapons across the country. In the name of peace some of those weapons were donated to the PAPC. The PAPC (Peace Art Project Cambodia) is a project that was created in November of 2003 by British artist Sasha Constable and Neil Wilford, small weapons specialist with the European Union. In the name of peace the weapons were recycled (sculpted, forged or welded) into amazing works of art such as: chairs, tables, bikes, animals and various other sculptures by student artists from the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Isn't there something twisted about sitting on furniture made of guns? Or making art out of AK-47's? What do you think?Personally I'd like to

Rferl - Pakistan's new government is close to signing a peace accord with pro-Taliban militants as part of a softer counterterrorism policy from Islamabad that deemphasizes military strikes and calls for U.S. forces to show more restraint in the area.Britain has expressed reservations about the strategy, and Washington has said it wants Pakistani forces to continue fighting insurgents in the tribal regions near the border with Afghanistan.Under the proposed deal, pro-Taliban militants would order their fighters to stop using violence and stop sheltering or giving support to foreign Al-Qaeda fighters. In return, Pakistani government troops would be gradually withdrawn from the region.The orders to the militants were reportedly issued in pamphlets on April 23 by Baitullah Mehsud, the head of

Pathetic pacifism.  Not just to Syria, but to the world community.  It’s insane to think that Syria will commit to peace if the Golan Heights are given back.  They are intent on Israel’s destruction just as much as other Muslim countries are.

Here's a spot for my ego, eh? If only I could come up with something reflective of my inner being . . . Eckert Tolle is deflating my drive to draw eyes. Reality TV is deflating my sex drive.

I get cornered into this shit and feel like I have to explain myself (I blame my teenage daughters). I don't even feel justified in describing my day. I can only call it "good." Okay, it felt more like "damn good." There's a little description. This is why I should write poetry. Memoir turns pointless.I wonder if I can turn the trip to Carbondale into a poem?

Reflections of Fidel: POPE Benedict XVI outshone Brown, the British Prime Minister, who replaced Blair, whom I met and spoke with for a few minutes during a recess at the WTO Second Conference in Geneva 10 years ago; it was following his speech and I was expressing my disagreement on the matter of an incorrect sentence he used about the social situation of British children. Brown’s voice, positions and tone at his press conference in the presence of Bush, gave me the impression that he is as smug as his predecessor in the leadership of the Labor Party. The activities of the new British Prime Minister, coinciding with the Pope's visit, were just like those of a leader of the government of a banana republic. Benedict XVI paid special attention to April 13 when, 65 years ago, over 1,000

Peace Needs You!  We are far away from the war? This is a somewhat "alarmist” question.War, fire, bloodshed, death, ruins. These terms are often used by the media in the customary manner. Of these, we feel fear; or perhaps of these, we may have already felt numb.However, when we use different languages, writing the confrontation expressions.

A peace process should have the potential to lead to actual peace. If it does not, then it should not be considered a viable option even on a temporary basis. Each time a peace deal fails radical elements become even more radicalized. True lovers of peace, should therefore have zero tolerance for fake peace processes.Two State Solution Based Peace PlansMadrid TalksOslo Accords 1 & 2Roadmap to ?Peace?All of these have thus far been unworkable. From an International Law perspective, any compromise of Jewish religious sites, with no true expectancy of Palestinian compliance with Succession laws, is illegal from the start. The reason the Quartet are forcing Israel into a continued cycle of violence rather than using a more workable plan is perhaps threefold...Israeli governments liter

It’s so funny that when everything is going smoothly that I strain my brain for something to write about and usually come up short.

Then I a forced to admit that he is a highly talented producer, despite being an embarrassingly bad rapper, and that I have enjoyed so much of his work with John Legend, Common, Chris Brown, etc. And yeah, the "Yes, We Can" video went hard.
