Salvador Ramos the gunman who killed 19 kids and two teachers at a Texas elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, was a local high school student who was reportedly "bullied" with few if any friends who officials said legally purchased two assault rifles and scores of ammo last week for his 18th birthday.
Right-wing conspiracy theorists and a Republican lawmakers are spreading a baseless LIES that the Uvalde elementary-school shooter was transgender.
"It's a transsexual leftist illegal alien named Salvatore Ramos," posted demented GOP Congressman Paul Gosar posted in a since-deleted Tweet.
Crack smoker pot Candace Owens tweeted, "What drives an 18-year-old to murder innocent children? I don't know. But judging by the photos of him cross-dressing, we can assume there were plenty of signs that he was mentally disturbed and abused by adults in his life."
And now last but most certainly least we have GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene: "The shooter in Uvalde was obviously mentally ill because he wore eyeliner and cross-dressed."
Smack her, Just do it.
Marge Greene claims that the murderer in Uvalde "clearly had a lot of mental issues going on, as was shown with him wearing eyeliner, cross-dressing…" pic.twitter.com/RHJBXVCZlY

Gay History Month – October 14, 1977: Anita Bryant Hit In The Face With A "Fruit Pie" and it's Still Delicious! [Updated 10/14/2021]

Today marks one of the most iconic moments in gay history when a gay male activist threw a pie in the face of one of the most evil homophobes in America, Anita Bryant.
On October 14, 1977, at press conference in Des Moines, Iowa, while reporters were questioning Bryant about her national crusade against homosexuals, gay rights activist Tom Higgins threw a pie in Bryant's face, which caused Bryant to comment "At least it was a fruit pie" before praying for Higgins and breaking down in tears.
Bryant an American singer, former beauty queen, and pitch-woman for companies like Coke and Florida Orange Juice started the venomous 'Save Our Children' campaign against homosexuals in Dade County, Florida which spread throughout the nation and led to an upswing in violent attacks, including murder, against gay men and resulted in numerous cities denying or retracting gay and lesbian civil rights ordinances
In 1977 Bryant said:
"What these people really want, hidden behind obscure legal phrases, is the legal right to propose to our children that theirs is an acceptable alternate way of life. I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before. As a mother, I know that homosexuals cannot biologically reproduce children; therefore, they must recruit our children" and "If gays are granted rights, next we'll have to give rights to prostitutes and to people who sleep with St. Bernards and to nail biters." She also added that "All America and all the world will hear what the people have said, and with God's continued help we will prevail in our fight to repeal similar laws throughout the nation.
On June 7, 1977, Bryant's campaign led to a repeal of the anti-discrimination ordinance in Dade County, FL by a margin of 69 to 31 percent. The gay community retaliated against Bryant by organizing a boycott of Florida orange juice which she was a spokeswoman for. Gay bars all over North America took screwdrivers off their drink menus and replaced them with the "Anita Bryant", which was made with vodka and apple juice. Sales and proceeds went to gay civil rights activists and organizations to help fund their fight against Bryant and her campaign.
Bryant led several more campaigns around the country to repeal local anti-discrimination ordinances including St. Paul, Minnesota; Wichita, Kansas; and Eugene, Oregon. Her success led to an effort to pass the Briggs Initiative in California which would have made pro or neutral statements regarding homosexuals or homosexuality by any public school employee cause for dismissal. Grass-roots liberal organizations, chiefly in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area thanks to Harvey Milk, sprang up to defeat the initiative.
After the "pieing incident" the Florida orange juice boycott become more prominent and it was supported by many celebrities including Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Paul Williams, John Waters, Carroll O'Connor, Mary Tyler Moore and Jane Fonda.
The fallout from the gay community and it's supporters ruined Bryant. Her contract with the Florida Citrus Commission was allowed to lapse in 1979 because of the controversy, her marriage to her first husband Bob Green failed at that time, and in 1980 she divorced him, citing emotional abusiveness and latent suicidal thoughts. Even the fundamentalist audiences and venues shunned her after her divorce as she was no longer invited to appear at their events and she lost another major source of income. With her four children, Bryant moved from Miami to Selma, Alabama, and later to Atlanta, Georgia where she still lives today.
In June of 2010 smelling the money of the anti-LGBT groups of today Bryant returned to her roots and appeared at an anti-gay, anti atheist, and anti Muslim event sponsored by "Reclaiming America For Christ"
The unsung hero who threw the infamous pie, lifetime gay activist Thom Higgins was a founding member and officer of several gay organizations, including FREE (Fight Repression of Erotic
Expression), The Gay Imperative, and the Church of the Chosen People, a gay pagan religion established in 1975. He was also a member of Target City Coalition and the Cuban Refugee Task Force of Positively Gay.
Thom Higgins passed away November 10, 1994, in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Trump Loving Asian Miss Michigan Stripped Of Title For Being A Racist
July 20, 2019 Featured, Idiots, Trump's AmericaBitch, Donald Trump, Kathy Zhu, Miss Michigan, racism, racistWill Kohler
Via The Hill:
Miss Michigan 2019 winner Kathy Zhu was stripped of her title on Thursday for "offensive, insensitive and inappropriate" social media posts, she said Thursday.
Zhu, 20, tweeted Thursday what appeared to be a screenshot of an email she received from Miss World America officials, who told her she was dismissed from being a pageant participant.
"Miss World America's State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive," Zhu tweeted. "They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and 'insensitive' statistical tweets."
The first racist incident happened in 2018, in which Zhu went up to a Muslim Student Association booth celebrating World Hijab Day.
She then tweeted:
"There is a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus.
So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?
The second occurrence is a reply to another Twitter user in which Zhu says:
"Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community before blaming others."
I wonder if it would it be insensitive to tell her if she doesn't like it she can go back where she came from ?
Jacksonville Church Saves LGBT Prom After Rabid Anti-Gay "Activist Mommy" Forces Library To Cancel
July 8, 2019 Featured, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay IdiotsActivist Mommy, Bitch, Elizabeth Johnson, Jacksonville Florida, Pride Prom, terroristWill Kohler
Two weeks ago we reported about Elizabeth Johnston the rabidly anti-gay right wing extremist who goes by the name "The Activist Mommy," who asked her of Facebook followers to call and harass a Jacksonville, Florida library that was holding a LGBT Prom for local teens.
The library bowed to pressure and canceled the prom which led Johnson to declare herself victorious over the "perversion is taking place in a taxpayer funded library."
But in the end Johnson lost and she lost BIG. The 100-plus LGBT teens who planned to attend Storybook Pride Prom got their special night after all when the Buckman Bridge Unitarian Universalist Church in Jacksonville stepped in to host the LGBT event instead.
According to Grace Repass, the church board unanimously supported the decision to offer space for the event. "It was the right thing to do," Repass told The Washington Post. "The LGBT+ youth in our community deserve to have their prom and we wanted to support them. We see our church as a safe place for people who are figuring out who they are. Our Unitarian Universalist values call us to respect the inherent worth and dignity of every person. So, it's a matter of integrity — to act in alignment with who we say we are."
Over 50 volunteers from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office officers, LGBT veterans, and private security workers helped pull the last minute event together and to keep the teens safe from unhinged Johnson and her minions.
"The inside was so positive and electric," said BeBe Deluxe, a drag queen who appeared at the event. "Everyone was smiling. Lots of moms were crying happy tears. There were kids dancing, laughing and socializing as if nothing had even happened that week. Some of the youth had never met another gay person their age before and this event helped them make friends."
Elizabeth Johnson still claims victory for having the prom cancelled at the Jacksonville library and has not updated her Activist Mommy Facebook page which she uses for far right attacks and anti-LGBT propaganda that her hate was defeated and by a church no less.

Kirstin Gillibrand Does Damage Control: Defends Call For Franken To Resign
March 19, 2019 Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics#Politics, Al Franken, Bitch, fuck you, Kirstin GillibrandWill Kohler
Kirsten Gillibrand's presidential campaign hasn't been going exactly as she expected much of which has to do with her #MeToo crucifixion to get him out of the way politically.
Politico reports:
"Senator Franken was entitled to whatever type of review or process he wanted," Gillibrand said. "He could've stuck it out, stayed in the Senate, gone through [the] Ethics Committee's investigation. Those were his choices, but I had to make my choice."
Some major Democratic donors, including Susie Tompkins Buell, have expressed frustration about Gillibrand's decision to call for Franken's resignation. But Gillibrand said that "if there are a few powerful Democratic donors who are angry," then "that's on them.
It's funny she says: "Senator Franken was entitled to whatever type of review or process he wanted," Gillibrand said. "He could've stuck it out, stayed in the Senate, gone through [the] Ethics Committee's investigation…"
Perhaps if Gillibrand had called for an investigation – which she didn't instead of insisting for his resignation without due process. He would have.
It's also interesting that Gillibrand was so vocal over Al Franken's frat boy behavior but has been so quiet about rabid Republican's Jim Jordan's involvement the numerous male sexual assaults at Ohio State University.
I guess male sexual assault means nothing to her.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand: I'm Going To Run For President (Even Though I Don't Stand A Chance After What I Did To Al Franken)
January 16, 2019 Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. PoliticsBitch, Kirsten Gillibrand, Presidential Campaign 2020Will Kohler
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, an outspoken advocate for women's causes and electing more women to office, is entering the 2020 race for the White House herself, becoming the latest candidate to join what is expected to be a crowded Democratic primary to take on President Trump.
In an appearance Tuesday on the "Late Show With Stephen Colbert," Ms. Gillibrand , a New York Democrat, said she was forming an exploratory committee to raise money and travel the country for her run. She is scheduled to start campaigning within days, with plans to spend the weekend in Iowa.
"I'm going to run for president of the United States because as a young mom I am going to fight for other people's kids as hard as I would fight for my own,'' she said.
Gillibrand is still suffering from the ramifications of throwing one of America's best progressive senators Al Franken under a bus without due process for the sake of the #MeToo movement and to further her political career. A move which backfired on her greatly.

Melania Trump: "I'm The Most Bullied Person In The World."

Melania Trump has raised a fair share of eyebrows since she launched her pet project, Be Best, because it aims, in part, to combat cyberbullying — with critics accusing her husband, President Trump, of being one of Twitter's most egregious offenders.
But the first lady shrugged off charges of hypocrisy to promote her anti-bullying initiative during this month's solo trip to Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, and Egypt. Now a newly released interview excerpt shows the first lady defending her work with Be Best for a personal reason: She sees herself as a victim of bullying.
"I could say I'm the most bullied person on the world," she told Llamas. "One of them — if you really see what people [are] saying about me."
Melania. It's not bullying if saying that you are a soulless gold-digging whore is the actual truth.


Sunday 7th October in Los Gigantes saw the 26th edicion de la Feria de Artesania Popular Canaria Villa de Santiago del Teide (Annual arts and Crafts Fair), organised by the Ayuntamiento de la Villa Historico de Santiago del Teide.
There were 600 square metres of stands with around 70 different craft stalls, offering an interesting selection of pottery, woodwork, textiles, ceramics, confectionary, jewellery, metals etc. as well as a photography and art competition, and entertainment by a Canarian folklore group.
The Fair, which attracted many visitors, started at 8am and continued throughout the day finally finishing at 7pm.


"Indeed I do," replied the old lady, with a smile, "for one of the strangest adventures of my life befell me on my first stage-coach journey. Yes, you girls shall hear the story; I am getting into my 'anecdotage,' as Horace Walpole calls it," and granny laughed with the secret consciousness that her "anecdotes" were always sure of an appreciative audience.
"People did not run about hither and thither in my young days as you girls do now," went on the old lady, "and it was quite an event to take a coach journey. In fact, when I started on my first one, I was nearly twenty years old; and my father and mother had then debated a good while as to whether I could be permitted to travel alone by the stage. My father was a country parson, as you know, and we lived in a very remote Yorkshire village. But an aunt, who was rich and childless, had lately taken up her residence at York, and had written so urgently to beg that I might be allowed to spend the winter with her, and thus cheer her loneliness, that it was decided that I must accept the invitation. It was the custom then for many of the local country gentry to visit the great provincial towns for their 'seasons' instead of undertaking the long journey to the metropolis. York, and many another country town, is still full of the fine old 'town houses' of the local gentry, who now go to London to 'bring out' their young daughters; but who, in the former days, were content with the gaieties offered by their own provincial capital. Very lively and pleasant were the 'seasons' of the country towns in my youth; and I think there was more real hospitality and sociability found among the country neighbours than one meets with in London society nowadays. I, of course, was delighted at the prospect of exchanging the dull life of our little village for the gaieties of York; but when it actually came to saying good-bye to my parents, from whom I had never yet been separated, I was half inclined to wish that Aunt Maria's invitation had been refused. Farmer Gray, who was to drive me to the neighbouring town, where I should join the coach, was very kind; and pretended not to see how I was crying under my veil. We lumbered along the narrow lanes and at length reached the little market town where I was deposited at the 'Blue Boar' to have some tea and await the arrival of the mail. I had often watched the coach dash up, and off again, when visiting the town with my father; but it seemed like a dream that I, Dolly Harcourt, was now actually to be a passenger in the conveyance. The dusk of a winter's evening was gathering as the mail came in sight, its red lamps gleaming through the mist. Ostlers prided themselves upon the celerity with which the change of horses was effected, and passengers were expected to be equally quick; I was bustled inside (my place had been taken days previously) before I had time to think twice. Fortunately, as I thought, remembering the long night journey which lay before me, I found the interior of the coach empty, several passengers having just alighted; but, as I settled myself in one corner, two figures hurried up, a short man, and a woman in a long cloak and poke-bonnet, with a thick veil over her face.
"'Just in time,' cried the man. 'Yes, I've booked two places, Mr. Jones and Miss Jenny,' and the pair stumbled in just as the impatient horses started.
"'Miss Jenny.' Well, I was glad that I was not to have a long night journey alone with a strange man. I glanced at the cloaked and veiled figure which sank awkwardly into the opposite corner of the vehicle, and then leaned forward to remove some of my little packages from the seat; in so doing I brushed against her bonnet.
"'All right, all right, miss,' said the man, a red-faced, vulgar-looking personage; 'don't you trouble about Jenny, she'll do very well;' and he proceeded to settle his companion in the corner rather unceremoniously.
"This was a strange manner in which to address a lady. Could this man be sober, I thought, and a shiver ran through me at the idea of being doomed to spend so many hours in company with a possibly intoxicated, and certainly surly man. How rudely he addressed his companion, how little he seemed to care for her comfort! As I looked more carefully at the pair (the rising moon now giving me sufficient light to do this) I noted that the man's hand was slipped under the woman's cloak, and that he was apparently holding her down in her seat by her wrist. A fresh terror now assailed me—was I travelling with a lunatic and her keeper? I vainly tried to obtain a glimpse of the woman's countenance, so shrouded by her poke-bonnet and thick veil.
"The man was speedily snoring again, and I sat with my eyes fixed on the cloaked figure, wondering—speculating. Poor thing, was she indeed a lunatic travelling in charge of this rough attendant? Pity filled my heart as I thought of this afflicted creature, possibly torn from home and friends and sent away with a surly guardian; who, I now felt sure, was not too sober. Was the woman old or young, of humble rank or a lady? I began to weave a dozen romantic stories in my head about my fellow-passengers, quite forgetting all my recent fears about the 'knights of the road.' So sorry did I feel for the woman that I leant across and addressed some trivial, polite remark to her, but received no reply. I gently touched her cloak to draw her attention, but the lady's temper seemed as testy as that of her companion; she abruptly twisted away from my touch with some inarticulate, but evidently angry exclamation, which sounded almost like a growl. I shrank back abashed into my corner and attempted no more civilities. Would the coach never reach York and I be freed from the presence of these mysterious fellow-passengers? I was but a timid little country lass, and this was my first flight from home. It was certainly not a pleasant idea to believe oneself shut up for several hours with a half-tipsy man and a lunatic; as I now firmly believed the woman to be. I sat very still, fearing to annoy her by any chance movement, but my addressing her had evidently disturbed her, for she began to move restlessly, and to make a kind of muttering to herself. I gradually edged away towards the other end of the seat, so as to leave as much space between myself and the lady as possible, and in so doing let my shawl fall to the floor of the coach. I stooped to pick it up, and there beheld, protruding from my fellow-passenger's cloak, her foot. Oh horrors! I saw no woman's dainty shoe—but a hairy paw, with long nails—was it cloven ?
"Well, your fright did not end so badly after all, granny," remarked one of her listeners.

A message from Jessica - a performer in the Intermediate group.
I first started with Mladi Hrvati when I was seven years old and have been dancing for seven years now. I love being a part of Mladi Hrvati because I like to learn about my Croatian culture and I love to learn new dances. I have made some great friends in my group and I love seeing them at dance practice each week. It's a great way to catch up with other friends who are the same age as me and share the same cultural background.
My teacher Antun Rehlicki is also my Godfather. Antun is always there to figure out any problems that we have and is always helping us improve our footwork so that we can get our dance moves to be smooth and spot on. And ... when we are not listening Antun makes sure we stay focused. I'm extra lucky to have him in my life as my god-father as well as my dance teacher!
My favourite dance that I have learnt so far is 'Srdim se, Dušo' which is part of the new Bunjevačko choreography that we are learning. I like this dance because I think it's interesting to learn how girls used to dance with their male dance partners in old times, and it's also a really pretty dance!
One of my most special memories is from the Annual Croatian Cultural festival, at the Hrvatski Dom in February this year. It was really great to perform in front of such a large crowd that included my family and friends. Before a performance I usually feel really nervous just as we are about to get on stage, but when I'm up there I feel great and I know that I'll be okay because I have my friends next to me and my family in the audience supporting me. When the music starts I feel even more at ease because I know the dance and we all just have a good time together. We do a big group cheer when we're back in the room changing back into our regular clothes because we know that even if we got a step wrong here or there, we did a great job and we did it together as a team.
I'm looking forward to moving into the Adult group one day because I will get to learn new dances and I'll be able to learn from all the experienced members who have been dancing for years.

Копытенская башня (Копытицкая, Копычинская) — одна из сохранившихся до наших дней башен Смоленской крепостной стены.

Местонахождение и внешний вид
Башня находится в парке «Лопатинский сад», одной стороной выходит на сквер имени Александра Сергеевича Пушкина, другой — на земляной вал. Представляет собой четырёхугольную башню с проезжими воротами. Ранее реставрировалась, имеет крышу. В настоящее время никакого функционального назначения не имеет.

История
В составе стены находилась между башнями Бублейкой (сохранилась) и безымянной круглой башней. Происхождение название башни, по одной версии, связано с близостью пастбищ для скота, по другой версии — с торговлей. Во время осады Смоленска польскими войсками в 1609—1611 годах основной удар поляков пришелся именно на Копытенскую башню. Во времена правления императрицы Екатерины II ворота в Копытенской башне были заделаны, а сама башня — приспособлена под архив Смоленской губернии.

В 1918 году башню подожгли мародеры. Сооружение сильно пострадало.

В настоящее время Копытенская башня - одна из немногих сохранившихся воротных башен Смоленского кремля.

Mohammad Yousuf PP SI (Punjabi, ; formerly Yousuf Youhana, ; born 27 August 1974) is a Pakistani cricket coach and former cricketer and captain, who played all three formats. Prior to his conversion to Islam, Yousuf was one of the few Christians to play for the Pakistan national cricket team. Yousuf scored 1,788 runs in 2006 which is a world record for most runs scored in a year in tests at an average of almost 100.

Yousuf was banned from playing international cricket for Pakistan by the Pakistan Cricket Board on 10 March 2010, following an inquiry into the team's defeats during the tour of Australia. An official statement was released by the Pakistan Cricket Board, saying that he would not be selected again because he had created disciplinary problems and infighting within the team.

In reaction to the ban, Yousuf announced his retirement from international cricket on 29 March 2010. However, following Pakistan's disastrous first Test against England in July/August 2010, PCB decided to ask Yousuf to come out of retirement.

Early life
Yousuf was born in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan to a Punjabi Christian family. His family belongs to the Chuhra community, the Chuhra's being Dalits or untouchables who converted to Christianity en masse during the British colonial era in order to escape from the Hindu caste system. His father Youhana Maseeh worked as a sweeper at the railway station, the family lived in the nearby Railway Colony. As a boy, he couldn't afford cricket gear and played street cricket with his brother's taped tennis ball and wooden planks. As a 12-year-old, he was spotted by the Golden Gymkhana, and he subsequently joined Lahore's Forman Christian College and continued playing until stopping abruptly in early 1994.

Yousuf, hailing from a poor background, was plucked from the obscurity of a tailor's shop in the slums of the eastern city of Lahore to play a local match in the 1990s.  His well-crafted shots attracted attention and he rose through the ranks to become one of Pakistan's best batsmen. He was set to work at a tailor's when he was pulled back by a local club was short of players. They called him to make up numbers and made a hundred which led to a season in the Bradford Cricket League, with Bowling Old Lane, and a path back into the game.

Conversion to Islam
Until his conversion to Islam in 2005, Yousuf was the fourth Christian (and fifth non-Muslim overall) to play for the Pakistan cricket team, following in the footsteps of Wallis Mathias, Antao D'Souza and the Anglo-Pakistani Duncan Sharpe. He also has the distinction of being the first and so far only non-Muslim to captain the country, leading the team in the 2004–05 tour of Australia where he scored a century in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He converted to Islam after attending regular preaching sessions of the Tablighi Jamaat, Pakistan's largest non-political religious grouping, whose preachers include Yousuf's former teammate Saeed Anwar and his brother. His wife Tania converted along with him and adopted the Islamic name Fatima. However, the news was kept private for three months due to family reasons as well as his own decision to practice his faith, before his announcement of their conversion publicly in September 2005. "I don't want to give Yousuf my name after what he has done", his mother was quoted as saying by the Daily Times newspaper. "We came to know about his decision when he offered Friday prayers at a local mosque. It was a shock", his mother was reported as saying. However, Yousuf told the BBC that "I cannot tell you what a great feeling it is." As part of his conversion, Yousuf officially changed his name from Yousuf Youhana to Mohammad Yousuf.

Former Pakistan cricketer, sports commentator & former PCB Chairman Rameez Raja, who himself is Muslim, acknowledged the significance of Yousuf's new faith: "Religion has played an integral part in his growth not just as a cricketer but as a person."

International career

Early days
He made his Test debut against South Africa in Durban and One Day International debut against Zimbabwe in Harare. He has scored over 9,000 One Day International runs at an average above 40 and over 7,000 Test runs at an average above 50 (2nd highest batting average amongst all Pakistani batsmen) with 24 Test centuries. He has the record of scoring the most runs without being dismissed in the One Day International match, with a total of 405 runs against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe in 2002–2003. He has also scored a 23-ball fifty and a 68-ball hundred in One Day International. In Test match, he has scored a 27-ball fifty, which is 3rd fastest by any player. He was the top scorer during the successive years of 2002 and 2003 in the world in One Day International match. In 2004, he scored 111 runs against the Australians in the Boxing Day Test. In December 2005, he scored 223 runs against England at Lahore, also earning him the man of the match award. Seven months later in July 2006, when Pakistan toured England, he scored 202 runs and 48 in the first Test, again earning himself the man of the match award. He followed up with 192 in the third Test at Headingley and 128 in the final Test at The Oval.

Rise in ranks
Yousuf was named CNN-IBN's Cricketer of the Year for 2006, ahead of the likes of Australian captain Ricky Ponting, West Indies Brian Lara, Australian spinner Shane Warne, South Africa's bowling spearhead Makhaya Ntini and Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan. He was selected as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in the 2007 edition. Yousuf became the fourth recipient of the ICC 'Test Cricketer of the Year' award for 2007, he scored 944 runs at an average of 94.40 including seven centuries and two fifties in just 10 innings and that was enough to be awarded the honour ahead of English batsman Kevin Pietersen and Australian batsman Ricky Ponting.

A year that started on a promising note, Yousuf carried it forward to break two world records both held earlier by former West Indian batsman Viv Richards. The 32-year-old, Pakistani batsman achieved an unparalleled 1788 runs in just 10 Test matches with the help of twelve centuries which became his second world record. Yousuf is known for his ability to score runs at exceptional rate through his great technique and composed strokeplay. Although capable of hitting the ball hard, Yousuf is quick between the wickets, although he is prone to being run out.

Golden 2006

Statistically, the year 2006 is said to be the year of Australia, Muttiah Muralitharan and Yousuf. Yousuf scored 1788 runs at an average of 99.33 in 2006 and broke two of Viv Richards's world records.

On 30 November 2006, during the third innings of the final Test between Pakistan and West Indies at Karachi, he surpassed Viv Richards's thirty-year-old record and became the highest scorer in Test matches during a single calendar year.He also broke Zaheer Abbas's record for the most runs made by a Pakistani batsman in a three-Test series. Abbas made 583 runs against the visiting Indians in 1978/79. Yousuf hit nine test centuries in 2006, which is a world record for most centuries in a calendar year. Yousuf also equaled the record held by former Australian batsman Donald Bradman, by scoring six centuries in successive Tests – although it took him only four matches compared with Bradman's six.

After his 191 at Multan he became the first player in Test history to have been dismissed 3 times in the 190s, with all three innings coming in 2006. For his performances in 2006 and 2007, he was named in the ICC Test Team of the Year. For his performances in 2006, he was named in the World Test XI by Cricinfo.

Yousuf is a skilful infielder, with a report prepared by Cricinfo in late 2005 showing that since the 1999 Cricket World Cup, he had effected the seventh highest number of run-outs in ODI cricket of any fieldsman. He is also distinguished by his characteristic celebration after hitting one hundred runs for his country, where he prostrates in thankfulness to Allah in the direction of Mecca. He has observed this act (known as the Sajdah) since his conversion to Islam.

Retirement and subsequent return
On 29 March 2010, Yousuf announced his retirement from international cricket, two days after the Pakistan Cricket Board imposed an indefinite ban on him. "I received a letter from the PCB that my staying in the team is harmful for the team, so I announce my retirement from international cricket", he said at a press conference in Karachi. On 27 March, Yousuf said that he had decided to retire from international cricket. "Yes, I have decided to retire as Pakistan player and my decision is not an emotional one", Yousuf told press agency AFP, "It's of no use playing if my playing is harmful to the team". He was placed under an indefinite ban by the Pakistan Cricket Board for his disciplinary problems on Pakistan's tour of Australia 2009–2010.

On 1 August 2010, after Pakistan lost the first Test match against England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, Yousuf was called back in the squad for the rest of the series. He decided not to play the second Test because of tiredness and jet lag. Shortly after the completion of the second test, Pakistani captain Salman Butt announced that he expected Yousuf to return for the third test. The selectors decided to play Yousuf in a tour match against Worcestershire just before the third Test so that his form and fitness could be checked. Yousuf's form check was positive, because on a day inflicted by rain he managed to score 40*. Yousuf then scored 56 against England in the third Test before being caught and bowled by Graeme Swann; in the process Yousuf became Swann's 100th casualty in Test cricket;the day saw a much improved performance by Pakistan as they were eventually bowled out for 308.

In the same tour of England that summer, he participated in the Twenty20 series as well. Despite being considered an "old boys cricketer" and having participated in only a sole T20I in 2006 and considered one who does not slog as often (notable by the low number of sixes he has scored), Yousuf participated and scored 26 off 21 deliveries.

His return continued well when he scored 46 in the second ODI against England. He consistently scored during the five-match England series as Pakistan lost 3–2. Yousuf was subsequently selected to play for Pakistan in all three formats against South Africa in October 2010; he was considered as an option for becoming captain but the captaincy was given Misbah-ul-Haq Yousuf's batting partner Younis Khan; however he was not selected.

Controversy
In 2007, after initially signing a contract to join the Indian Cricket League, Yousuf later refused due to pressure from the Pakistan Cricket Board as he would later face a ban by the board. In return the PCB promised to get him into the Indian Premier League, however, no team bid for him as he faced litigation from the ICL.

In 2008, he once again threatened to join the ICL after the PCB dropped him from their squad. A PCB official was quoted as saying, "We have banned all our cricketers who joined the ICL and if Yousuf also plays for the unauthorised league then he will have to face the same punishment. Yousuf is still our best Test batsman and has a future with the Pakistan team, but not if he joins the ICL." Yousuf decided to join the ICL again to play mid-way through the second season. The Pakistan Cricket Board reacted to the news by banning him from the national team. Yousaf's chances to return to Pakistani cricket improved on 2 February 2009 when a Pakistani court suspended the ban on ICL players.

Pakistan Cricket Board recalled batsman Mohammad Yousuf to the squad for their July 2009 Test series in Sri Lanka. Yousuf ended his association with the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League (ICL) in early May, in the hope of earning a recall for his country. His decision to join the ICL was made because of differences with former captain Shoaib Malik, who had since been replaced by Younus Khan. In July 2009, on his first match after returning to Test Cricket since 2007, Yousuf scored a century to announce his return to cricket.

Yousuf informed the Pakistan Cricket Board that he would not be taking part in the Champions Trophy 2008 because it would coincide with the holy month of Ramadan.

He along with another former Indian Cricket League player Abdul Razzaq were awarded 'A' category mid-term central contracts by Pakistan Cricket Board after they left Indian Cricket League. A little over one year after being welcomed back by the PCB, Yousuf was made captain of the Test team for the tour of New Zealand after Younus Khan was allowed to take a break.

The Pakistan Cricket Board, on 10 March 2010, banned Yousuf and former captain, Younis Khan from playing for the national team indefinitely and imposed one-year bans on Shoaib Malik and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan. Despite receiving the ban Yousuf said that the series against South Africa in late 2010 could be a possibility. Pakistan then toured England in July 2010 and after losing the first test by 354 runs due to a weak batting line-up, the second innings total of 80 being the lowest total by Pakistan against England. Yousuf announced his return to International Cricket and was placed on the squad. He then required a visa which was granted but there was a concern that Yousuf could not come to England in time for that tour.

Yousuf captained his domestic team, the Lahore Lions, to victory in the 2010–11 Faysal Bank Twenty-20 Cup; the team defeated the Karachi Dolphins in the final. That was also the first time in five years that the trophy had gone to someone besides the Sialkot Stallions. Despite his poor fielding skills, Yousuf was given the award of fielder of the series. He did however injure his hamstring in training for the series against South Africa in October 2010. Chief Selector Mohsin Khan elected to withdraw Yousuf from the ODI and T20I squads but said that he should be ready to play in the Test match series. Yousuf's replacement in the limited-overs squad was Younus Khan, who had successfully reconciled with the Pakistan Cricket Board. He managed to regain his fitness and participated in the two-match Test series against South Africa. Also, he managed to regain his fitness quickly enough to participate in the final ODI of the five-match series. Yousuf wore a shirt which had his name written on in ink, which was against regulations. The match-referee called him and Yousuf stated that because he came for the test series he did not bring coloured clothing because he did not think that he would play. Subsequently, the ICC cleared him of any wrongdoing. Minutes before the toss in the first Test match, Yousuf picked up a groin injury. The injury took two weeks to heal and subsequently Yousuf missed the two-match Test series. Amid his recent spate of injuries, former Pakistan captain Moin Khan suggested that Yousuf should retire from ODIs and T20s and focus on Tests only due to age and consistent injuries.

In January 2012 it was announced that Yousuf was holding talks with Leicestershire over becoming their overseas player for 2012. Talks broke down over Yousuf wanting to take time off for Ramadan. Yousaf received the Pride of Performance award in August 2012.

Records

 Yousuf was the third Pakistani batsmen to surpass 6,000 runs in Test cricket, following Javed Miandad and Inzamam-ul-Haq.
 His 24 Test Match centuries is the third most for Pakistan, behind Inzamam-ul-Haq and Younus Khan.
 With his twin hundreds in the Karachi test against West Indies 2006, Mohammad Yousuf became the sixth Pakistani and 30th cricketer in Test cricket to hit a century in each innings of a Test match.
 He is the third highest run scorer in One-Day Internationals amongst Pakistani batsmen. His average of 44.50 places second out of all Pakistani batsmen, following only Zaheer Abbas (47.62).
 His Test average of 54.86 currently puts him in 10th spot for Test batting averages for players with more than 50 appearances.
 He has scored a century at International level against all Test playing nations, and also on the shores of all test nations.
 He was the third player in ODI history and first from Pakistan to score an ODI hundred in his 100th ODI.
 He is the current holder of the record for the highest number of runs scored in test cricket in a single calendar year.  His total of 1799 runs was achieved in 2006 from 11 Test matches from 19 innings with one not out score.

International centuries

Mohammad Yousuf scored 24 Test centuries and 15 ODI centuries.

Awards
Yousuf won the Test Player of the Year at the ICC Awards in 2007.  * In 2011, he was decorated by the President of Pakistan with the Sitara-i-Imtiaz, the third highest honor bestowed by Pakistan.

HomePoliticsAre reforms in southern Africa only about modernising the domination of former liberation movements?
Are reforms in southern Africa only about modernising the domination of former liberation movements?
February 1, 2018 Staff Reporter Politics 0
Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his Angolan counterpart João Lourenço
It was an eventful 2017 for the Southern African region. The end of an era, it seemed, as political dinosaurs shuffled off the stage.
In September, Angolan president José Eduardo dos Santos stepped down after 38 years in power. He was replaced by defence minister João Lourenço.
In November, Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe was eased out of State House by a military-assisted transition after 37 years at the helm. And replaced by his former deputy president Emmerson Mnangagwa whom he had just fired.
And in December, South African President Jacob Zuma also confronted imminent political eclipse. His plans to control the ruling African National Congress (ANC) from the outside were thwarted by his deputy Cyril Ramaphosa edging out his anointed ex-wife Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma in the party's presidential elections.
These events raised important questions. Would the successors offer more of the same – since they were from the same ruling party as their predecessors; parties that had remained too long in power? Or would they usher in a genuinely new era?
In all three countries the new leaders have started to answer that question rather promisingly. Lourenço quickly dispelled scepticism that he would be Dos Santos' puppet by firing his daughter Isabel from her lucrative position as head of the oil parastatal Sonangol, and then his son José from his job as head of the sovereign wealth fund.
Lourenço then gave a temporary amnesty to the rest of Angola's fabulously corrupt elite to repatriate their loot from foreign bank accounts – or face dire consequences.
In other ways Lourenço also moved to revive the moribund economy to attract foreign investors. 'Angola, which was finally isolated, must reconnect with the global economy,' his foreign minister Manuel Domingos Augusto told Le Monde in an interview.
Mnangagwa likewise moved to salvage what was left of Zimbabwe's even more shattered economy, by offering a three-month amnesty for those returning stolen funds and by making the country more attractive for investors.
The latter included the partial repeal of the controversial indigenisation law that forced foreigners to cede majority ownership of their companies to Zimbabweans.
He is also tackling wasteful expenditure, including a ban on first-class air travel for officials except the president and his deputy, a reduction in overseas diplomatic posts and compulsory retirement for civil servants over 65.
And Mnangagwa has offered some compensation to white farmers whose land was seized from 2000 onwards, precipitating the collapse in the economy.
Ramaphosa, meanwhile, though not yet South Africa's president, has already begun to flex his muscles through the ANC, pushing Zuma to appoint a long-delayed judicial commission of inquiry into 'state capture' by Zuma's business cronies, the Gupta family, and also to fire corrupt senior officials from the most captured entity, the electricity parastatal Eskom. He is widely expected to force Zuma out of office before his term expires in mid-2019.
Lourenço, Mnangagwa and Ramaphosa all made star turns at last week's World Economic Forum in Davos, visibly signalling re-entry into the global community. It was the first-ever visit to this gathering of the global business elite by an Angolan president.
Both Mnangagwa and Lourenço then went on to the African Union (AU) summit in Addis Ababa. While Mugabe had been a regular at AU summits, Dos Santos had not attended since 2010.
In some ways these parallel events in Angola, Zimbabwe and South Africa were prefigured in 2015 in other countries in the region still ruled by former liberation movements.
In Tanzania, John Magufuli succeeded Jakaya Kikwete as leader of the ruling CCM party and of the country and began cleaning out corruption and waste.
And in Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi replaced Armando Guebuza as national president in 2015, then ousted him as Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) leader, and started rooting out corruption and inefficiency.
But will this go beyond curbing corruption and reforming economies? Are these measures pragmatically and deliberately intended by the former liberation movements (FLMs as they call themselves) just to ensure they remain in power?
Is this really only about modernising FLM domination? Or are we likely to see far-reaching reforms that truly open up the political space for opposition parties and create the real possibility that the FLMs might actually lose – and concede – power in the foreseeable future?
To help answer that question it is instructive to read the report 'War with the West' produced by the secretaries-general of the six Southern African FLMs – which have ruled since independence – at their 2016 meeting in Zimbabwe.
As previously described in ISS Today, that document describes in lurid detail how the main threat to the FLMs is an elaborate regime-change agenda cooked up by Western powers with local opposition parties, civil society and the like. Opposition parties, therefore, are mere cogs in the great conspiracy.
But, leaving aside the paranoia, the report also describes how 'rampant corruption is seriously damaging the images of FLMs and their Governments. This is causing the electorate to lose faith in their elected representatives and the Party which sponsored them … corruption needs to be uprooted to safeguard the revolutionary parties'. The secretaries-general also warn against the perils of creating personality cults, of hero-worshipping individual leaders instead of 'sound party ideology and policies'.
It is clear then that all six FLMs have for some time been aware of the threat to their power posed by corruption and had vowed to get rid of it. Whether this fully explains the new breeze blowing through the region is hard to say. But there is certainly no evidence in 'War with the West' to suggest a sudden mass conversion to democracy.
Angolan activist Rafael Marques, who heads the NGO Maka Angola, is unimpressed by Lourenço, whom he dismisses as 'Dos Santos redux', suggesting the new guard has just jostled the old one out to get its own snout in the trough. 'What good is it to fire an extremely corrupt official if he or she gets to keep the loot?' he asks.
He adds that Lourenço knew that in firing Isabel and José dos Santos he need not fear any backlash from their father – even though Dos Santos remains president of the MPLA – as he is ill and extremely unpopular. So much so that the most prominent veterans of MPLA handed Dos Santos a petition, days ago, demanding he resign the party leadership immediately, Marques said.
A senior Western diplomat disagrees, believing, at least in Zimbabwe, that the reforms Mnangagwa has already undertaken are a first step to full political reform. Piers Pigou, Southern African expert at the International Crisis Group, says it's too soon to say whether a fresh breeze is blowing through the region or the FLMs are just figuring out joint survival strategies for maintaining their 'Divine Right to Rule' in more effective ways.
The rhetoric from the likes of Mnangagwa – including a promise of free and fair elections this year – has been encouraging, Pigou says, but accompanied by 'deep opacity' on the critical question of whether he really intends greater political pluralism. For the region, 'the next six months will be absolutely critical' in answering these questions, he says.
Then we should have a clearer idea of whether one-man states have merely evolved into one-party states, or into real multiparty democracies.

Ex-FCA official Iacobelli sentenced to 66 months in UAW training center scandal
Larry P. Vellequette
Alphons Iacobelli, former vice president of union relations at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, right, arrives with his wife, Susanne Iacobelli, at federal court in Detroit on Monday
DETROIT -- Former Fiat Chrysler Automobiles labor relations chief Alphons Iacobelli was sentenced Monday to 66 months in federal prison for tax evasion and his role in a wide-ranging conspiracy to win favorable treatment from the UAW for FCA.
He is the highest-ranking person to have worked at the automaker convicted in the scandal to date.
Iacobelli in January pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiring to violate the Labor Management Relations Act and for subscribing a false tax return. He had faced a statutory maximum of eight years in prison.
He also faces tax restitution of $835,000. A hearing on that restitution will held at a future date.
Appearing in U.S. District Court before Judge Paul Borman on Monday morning, Iacobelli, dressed in a blue suit, took responsibility for his crimes and promised to continue to cooperate with the government in its ongoing investigation of the broader conspiracy.
"I have directed all of my energies to that goal for the last few years," Iacobelli said. Indeed, because of his cooperation, the government asked the court before sentencing to reduce his requested sentence from 96 to 76 months.
A 14-page memorandum of sentencing for Iacobelli released last week stated: "FCA sought to obtain benefits, concessions and advantages in the negotiation and administration of collective bargaining agreements with the UAW in an effort to buy labor peace. High-level officials of the UAW sought to enrich themselves and live lavish lifestyles rather than zealously work on behalf of the best interests of tens of thousands of rank and file members of their union."
The memo also noted that, for certain aspects of FCA's negotiations and relationship with the UAW, Iacobelli reported directly to the automaker's late CEO, Sergio Marchionne -- though it doesn't mention Marchionne by name.
Others who have been charged in the ongoing are former FCA financial analyst Jerome Durden; former FCA employee Michael Brown; ex-UAW Associate Director Virdell King; UAW official Keith Mickens; and Nancy Johnson, a former top aide to ex-UAW Vice President Norwood Jewell, who was charged with misusing funds but has not yet been arraigned. Jewell has been implicated in the scandal but not formally named as a conspirator by investigators.
Morgan, Iacobelli and Durden are also being sued by the UAW-Chrysler National Training Center to recover more than $4.4 million in damages.
In court Monday, Iacobelli's attorney, David DuMouchel, argued that his client "was a big part of the problem," with a compromised labor management relationship between FCA and the UAW, "but he wasn't the problem." DuMouchel said there had been "an ongoing conspiracy" which his client had "knowingly joined." He said Iacobelli -- whom he said would be "virtually unemployable" and financially ruined when he is released from prison -- "has to face the fact that he brought this on himself."
In court, prosecutors said that Iacobelli has helped in their investigation of "other targets" in the conspiracy beyond those already charged, though they did not identify them. They said the scheme to pay millions from FCA "and its corporate predecessors" to the UAW and its officials to "buy labor peace" had begun before 2009 and did not end in 2015, and likened the case to public corruption, where UAW members were the victims.
In a statement after the sentencing, the UAW said: "We are appalled by the conduct of Mr. Iacobelli in his capacity as the co-head of the National Training Center (NTC) to defraud and steal from the NTC. As he has admitted, Mr. Iacobelli stole hundreds of thousands of dollars of NTC monies to build a luxury swimming pool and outdoor kitchen at his house for himself. He stole NTC monies to buy a $350,000 Ferrari for himself. He stole NTC monies to buy jewel-encrusted pens for $37,000 a piece for himself. And he stole NTC monies to pay over $1 million in personal credit card bills for himself and his wife. Whatever may be said about the misconduct of others at the NTC, these thefts from the NTC by Al Iacobelli had nothing to do with trying to influence collective bargaining. They had everything to do with Al Iacobelli' s personal greed. And the NTC has now sued Mr. Iacobelli to recover the millions of dollars he stole from it.
"There are many layers of checks and balances in our contract negotiations and ratification, including membership voting, and we are confident the terms of our UAW contracts were not impacted by Iacobelli' s fraudulent conduct at the NTC. The UAW has and continues to respond by making changes to ensure this type criminal behavior will not happen again."

Why Jordan Spieth's Next Four Weeks Are So Important
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Jordan Spieth understandably could have been upset about putting his tee shot in the water and quadruple-bogeying his final hole at the Players Championship, but the three-time major winner was pretty pumped after his final round.
That's because he really likes the way he's playing, and that has his confidence soaring for the upcoming back-to-back tournaments on his home turf.
"I feel as good about my golf game right now as I have in two-plus years," Spieth said Sunday after finishing tied for 41st at 6-under par at TPC Sawgrass. "I went 14-under … with three holes left in the first round until the 17th hole the final round on a golf course that really doesn't fit my game, and I'm going to a few places in a row that I really love.
"Everything feels like it's progressing really nicely. I'm extremely positive about the next few weeks."
The PGA Tour's next two stops are in Dallas, for the AT&T Byron Nelson Classic, and Fort Worth, Texas, for the Fort Worth Invitational. Spieth lives in Dallas and has played numerous rounds at Trinity Forest Golf Club, a links-style course that opened in the fall of 2016 and will be the new home of the Byron Nelson.
Spieth said that gives him a significant advantage over "anybody else in the field, having been there from the day they sprigged the greens.
"I haven't seen a lot of the pins and I know the tees are going to switch around from what we normally play, but I'm excited about the next few weeks."
Spieth hasn't finished higher than a tie for 18th in six appearances at the Byron Nelson, but he has finished in the top 10 in four of his five appearances at the Fort Worth Invitational, including winning the tournament in 2016 and finishing tied for second last year and in 2015.
Those two tournaments will be Spieth's second and third consecutive weeks of golf, and he's expected to play the Memorial at the end of the month. It's the only time he plays four times in four weeks every year, and he likes doing it.
"Historically I play better golf after I've played the week before," Spieth said. "You just get these weird kinks, like what I did there on 18 [at the Players], these kind of, OK, refocus and make sure you're playing away from trouble. I get a little, I don't know if lazy is the right word, but a little lack of commitment or maybe even over-commitment, to trying to be too aggressive first weeks out trying to shoot up the board.
"Is it difficult [to play four consecutive weeks]? No. I'm in my own bed. There's certainly a lot of obligations that I don't have other weeks the next two, but I've done a good job managing them the last couple years and will continue to."
Quadruple-bogey on No. 18 aside, Spieth's performance at the Players was his best there since he finished tied for fourth in his tournament debut in 2014 (he missed the cut the previous three years), and his third-round 65 was his second-best round of the season. He had shot 66 five other times this season, including the first round of The Masters (he finished third).
Spieth missed the cut at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans two weeks ago and didn't play in the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, May 3-6. With his confidence in his game sky high, he's excited about the next few weeks.
"I've got a four-week stretch here now that I really enjoy," Spieth said. "This is the only time I play four in a row in a season, and I like doing that. It's fun. I love being on the road and practicing and grinding and having a chance to play on the PGA Tour, and to have these events, go home — I've got an opportunity in these four weeks to have a lot of fun playing golf and potentially give myself a chance to win. That's what I'm looking forward to."

I Had S3x With My Husband Before Killing Him – Wife Confesses In Osun [Photo]
Views: 633 Replies: 1 Started By: Diala Last Poster: Diala Last Post Date: Jul 18, 2017
Diala Jul 18, 2017 ( Post 1 )
Mrs Omotayo Salawudeen, a 39-year-old housewife based in Osogbo, Osun State told the police and newsmen yesterday that she had sex with Alhaji Hakeem Salawudeen, her husband before killing him, using her hired killer.
Her words:
"My husband of 17 years was a good man who took care my needs and that of our three children".
"He didn't offend me, I was just mad at him and after having sex with him, I took a pillow and covered his month and Oladapo Dolapo, the guy I hired for the job stabbed him to death", she lamented.
Olafimihan Adeoye, Osun state police commissioner, while parading the suspects said the incident occurred on May 27, 2017.
But, the woman said the deceased did nothing to her to warrant the killing, saying that though she regretted her action, it was just her desire to kill the husband.
Dolapo, the 24-year-old suspected killer also explained that the woman enticed him with promises of a befitting accommodation and other largesse to punish her husband by killing him.
The Osun police chief further explained that one Engr. Salawudeen Adesina Jimoh of No 3, Engr. Adesina Salawu Street, Osogbo reported the incident on May 12, 2017 to the police.
"Engr Jimoh told the police that on that fateful day at about 3:00am, two unknown persons entered his brother's house at No 11, Adeniran Street, Alleluyah Estate, Osogbo and stabbed him to death with knife and nothing was carted away".
Based on the report, police directives and other officers on patrol visited the scene of the incident where inscriptions:"No Price No Pay, Aye Axe And Forgiveness Is A Sin" were found on the wall of the house of the deceased.
Adeoye said the police arrested Dolapo first and when quizzed confessed that he was hired by the wife of the deceased to kill the husband with promises of a better life.
However, investigations by the police revealed that Omotayo participated actively in the killing of her husband, even as the police chief assured that the case could be charged to court, soon.
Meanwhile, one Friday Augustine (28), Ojo Tifase (19) and Augustine Adepegba (60), suspected to be robbers were also paraded yesterday before newsmen.
Two unregistered Bajaj motorcycles, one single cut to size barrel, damaged local made pistol, four empty sell of AK 47 ammunition and one cutlass were some of the items recovered from the suspects.

I'm actually leaving for Japan in about a week, gonna be staying mostly in Tokyo but going to Kyoto as well. I really don't have any solid plans, only going to be there for about a week so its not a ton of time. Mostly I want to check out those big gaming stores and maybe pick up a super famicom.
@bard91 That's so borked dude, I almost forgot about Persona.
@bard91 Yup, my recommendation was based on the 3 Fates games only, but I agree with the others, if you just want any Fire Emblem game to dive into the series, Awakening is the best choice!

Sadly due to a number of players injured or away this Bank Holiday weekend we were not able to field a team for our final league match against Clontibret. It's a disappointing end to what has been an exciting season and there have been many highs and lows through-out a memorable year playing in the senior ranks. Our attention will now obviously switch back to the Intermediate ranks for next year where we shall be setting our sights on regaining a place back in the top flight of Monaghan GAA.
