Islamabad

Angelina Jolie on Wednesday condemned a Florida church’s threat to burn copies of the Muslim holy book to mark the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. 

The 35-year-old actress spoke out against the proposed burning during a trip to Pakistan to raise awareness about the floods that have devastated the largely Muslim country over the last six weeks. She visited in her capacity as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N.’s refugee agency.

Jolie’s criticism echoed that of top U.S. officials, who have described the church’s plan as a disgraceful act and have even warned that it could endanger U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Americans worldwide.

“I have hardly the words that somebody would do that to somebody’s religious book,” Jolie told reporters in Islamabad after visiting refugees camps in northwestern Pakistan — one of the areas of the country hit hardest by the floods.

The Christian minister organizing the Koran burning, Pastor Terry Jones, has said he plans to go ahead in spite of concerns. He is part of the Dove World Outreach Center, a tiny, evangelical Christian church in Gainesville, Florida, with an anti-Islam philosophy.

The issue has not gotten much attention in Pakistan, where officials and residents have been trying to cope with the devastation caused by floods that first hit the country at the end of July following extremely heavy monsoon rains. The floodwaters have killed more than 1,700 people and have affected over 18 million others.

“I was shocked especially by how high the floodwaters went,” said Jolie, who wore a long dress and covered her hair with a black scarf in keeping with local Muslim custom. “In some of the people’s houses, it was nine feet (three meters) high.”

U.N. officials have expressed hope that Jolie’s visit would help spark the fundraising campaign to help Pakistan, which has stalled in recent days. The U.N. issued an appeal for $460 million in emergency funds on Aug. 11, but only $294 million, or 64 percent, has been received so far even though it is one of the worst natural disasters in recent years.

“There’s lots of speculation about why this one has not gotten the attention it deserves,” Jolie said. “Even all of the wonderful coverage … is not getting the response that usually it’s able to get.”

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ — RESCUECOM’s Computer Reliability Report has seen a shake up at the top. Asus, which finished in second place for the first quarter of this year, saw a massive jump in its reliability score propel it into first place. IBM/Lenovo improved their scores as well, but slipped to third. Toshiba and HP/Compaq remained fourth and fifth, respectively. All eyes will be on Asus to see if it can maintain its significant jump, or if more of its customers will seek computer repair.

The RESCUECOM Reliability Report is based on two fundamentals: the quality of the computer and the quality of the support provided by the manufacturer. In other words, are the hardware and software components of the computer made to last, and does the manufacturer provide quality computer support when something goes wrong.

These fundamentals are used to calculate an unbiased reliability score for each manufacturer. With nationwide computer repair service for all makes and models, RESCUECOM is able to examine reliability across all brand lines. “We don’t discriminate,” says RESCUECOM President Josh Kaplan. “We judge every manufacturer based solely on the performance we’ve seen.”

Asus’ over 1300 point jump may not be a reflection of the reliability of its machines. “Many of Asus’ computers are entry level ‘eee’ machines or inexpensive netbooks,” says RESCUECOM CEO David Milman. “Consumers may choose to simply replace those machines rather than invest in computer service.” The steady performance of companies like Apple and IBM/Lenovo, says Kaplan, might be a stronger indicator. “It’s not just their computers that are reliable, either,” he says. “Fewer calls for computer repair means that either their machines aren’t breaking down, or their tech support is doing such an excellent job that consumers don’t need to go anywhere else.”

The RESCUECOM Computer Reliability Report is a timely consumer resource, given the current economy. “Consumers are placing a high premium on reliability,” says Milman. “They need products that make sense for their budget, and helping them find reliable computers can make that happen.”

The President Asif Ali Zardari stopped the address and left the place in security cordon in his car waiting for him outside. He is in UK these days for his business and financial issues when the country is dying due to terrorism and flood!

A professor stood before his philosophy class
And had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And start to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
It into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again
If the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand
And poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded
With an unanimous ‘yes.’

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table
And poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
Filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.

‘Now,’ said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things – God, family,
Children, health, friends, and favorite passions
Things that if everything else was lost
And only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else –
The small stuff.

‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued,
‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are
Important to you.

So…

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time
To clean the house and fix the dripping tap.

‘Take care of the golf balls first –
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’

One of the students raised her hand
And inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.

‘I’m glad ! You asked’.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’

Please share this with other “Golf Balls”

I just did……..  Best and profound regards!

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Paris Hilton said she studied the culture of Dubai and promised the Middle East version of her reality show will steer clear of the drinking and the swearing it had in Los Angeles and London.

The remarks came as Hilton, 28, launched the Mideast edition of her “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF” series in Dubai, a glitzy sheikdom in the United Arab Emirates. BFF stands for best friends forever.

“I wanted to know everything about this place first because I wanted to make sure everything was OK,” the hotel heiress was quoted as saying by The National newspaper Thursday. “I just want to respect everyone here.”

The fame-loving Hilton promised to dress conservatively and said her Dubai-based MTV series will be open to women only. There will be no finger pointing and laughing at anybody, the show’s producers said.

“I expect to learn a lot here. It’s a completely different world,” Hilton also said.

Twenty-two contestants will try their best to become Hilton’s new BFF in the 20 days she will spend in the Emirates. No air date has yet been set for the Mideast show. keep Reading

“I said this part, the top, is ok, but not the rest,” Kimberley Vlaeminck from the city of Kortrijk, 90 km (56 miles) northwest of Brussels, told Belgian broadcaster VRT.

The 18-year-old said she fell asleep during the procedure, and woke up in pain when her nose was being tattooed.

A spokesman for Kortrijk prosecutors’ office said police were investigating after a complaint from the teenager.

The tattoo artist said Vlaeminck had agreed to 56 stars.

“She agreed, but when her father saw it, the trouble started,” Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws quoted the man as saying.

Vlaeminck said she wanted to keep the tattoos on her forehead but would have the rest removed.
