Belgrade (AFP) - Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie with her husband Brad Pitt arrived in Sarajevo, Bosnia's capital, in order to launch the first film directed "In the Land of Blood and Honey", the Serbian news agency, Tanjug, reported on Tuesday.  The film tells the love story between the Bosnian Muslim woman and man from Serbia to the Bosnian civil war background, to re-energize and discussions throughout the region once the war-torn.
"I feel a responsibility to show the world what I have learned," said Jolie answered a reporter's question about her motivation to make a movie about the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina that occurred during 1990.

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador said, before the film was released, a lot of Serbian media reported that the film was a perfect lie, and raised a question mark as the film showed that people in the region found t difficult to reconcile with their past.

Sarajevo police region increased security measures, along with the arrival of Angelina Jolie which was greeted with enthusiasm by the visitors who looked forward to the movie's release. Jolie was reportedly donated 2100 tickets to the movie's organization representing the victims of Bosnian war.

He laughed heartily when we talked about the Kama Sutra. Especially when I said that the Indians knew well how to make a baby, he laughed without mercy at all. He pinched my cheek with a very distinctive style (= a bit odd = a little crazy = pretty sexy = lots of love), maybe that was his Americasutra style. He fondled my stomach and said, "Hello? Personal space!" (What the USA's most sexy style. )

Geez, in the bathroom there were still remnants of his kisses and his voice resounded more, "Hello? Public Space? Honey, when is our turn to get married?" he asked. Then I said --- and I am thankful that he is a great partner who is very understanding and always makes me feel more relaxed when facing some serious problems, eg marriage, marriage, marriage , marriage, auw! Auw. Yes, auw. Although I feel it is definitely very exciting times when we are ready to pull the train with one person forever ---, "Later."

Oh holly molly! simsalabim, oh oh dahling, abrakadabrabrabraaa... look, look ...! what a ludicrous image of marriage for us if we intend to unite two people to be half of an intact form. You and I become one? .... ahhahahaaa ... it is impossible!


This is a much better picture for me. And you.

And this is the best picture in my world, every time I get it in myself and when I do not have to always be with you.

► The drones must go on: US won't stop CIA strikes in Pakistan :: http://rt.com/news/pakistan-us-nato-demands-022/

Although the Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Hina Rabbani Khar said that the U.S. drone attacks in Pakistani territory was illegal, but the aircraft continued to bombard it, and Pakistan authorities could do nothing.

Khar said that an American attack would further make the extremism spirit in the region. "Drones are not only illegal and unlawful, and not authorized for use in the domain of international law. But more importantly, these drone attacks counterproductive to rid the region of militancy, terrorism and extremism," Khar said. "Because in one attack, causing not only a target of death, but can kill a target of five to 10 people, and it even gives the militants a reason to attract more people to join."

AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Ghetto was named the State of Israel. (Maybe) Israel is a ghetto area, not a sovereign state. And there are two words about the Jews suffering :  Ghetto and Pogroms.

Jan Pepijn Servaas : I wonder,... about Jones in Kuwait in 2009, who identified the woman as a cat? Women themsleves or men? Is the man identical with the dog?

  Pranay Suresh :For the sake of religious and cultural reasons, we should not call other people as the dogs or make them as if to resemble them. Similarly with calling the humans as the pigs, it is a disgraceful act. Likewise in the Western world, just because a man always has the instinct to chase a woman, it does not mean that he is a dog.

  Valentino Vie : Baby, about the American Radical, I remind you the terms of dispensationalists and its international maneuvering. The American dispensationalists are very attractive and are working hard to organize their constituents to support Israel in various ways. The first group of dispensionalis organizations is the The National Christian Leadership Conference for Israel (http://nclci.org/), which was founded by a Pentecostal pastor David Lewis. This dispensationalists front man is very intense in support of Israel and hate Muslims. The other group is an organization of Christians for Israel with the ultimate goal is to help the Jews from the former Soviet Union immigrate to Israel. Massive exodus of the program claims to have helped 1200 Jews per month.

Perhaps the largest pro-Israel organizations in America is the National Unity Coalition for Israel (NUCI), which was founded by a Jewish woman who drew strong support from the dispensationalists. NUCI is strongly opposed to "the establishment of a Palestinian state." This organization distributes various newsletters, magazines and media to keep the fanaticism of its supporters.

Dispensationalists are also strong supporters of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), which is founded and still run by an Orthodox Jewish rabbi named Yechiel Eckstein. IFCJ sponsors a number of humanitarian projects to help the Jews from the former Soviet Union to immigrate to Israel, providing support for the Jewish people in Russia who are poor and can not return to Israel, and assist the movement of fanatical Jews in Jerusalem.

Dispensationalists is the best friend to Israel for 30 years. One of his influence was the emergence of a strong supporter and seemingly immovable for Israel in the United States. Many of the Pro-Israel organizations created by dispensationalists. Christian conservatives willingness to stand up for Israel has helped U.S. Israel relationship remains strong.

Ok, maybe I should write all this in my longest love letter to you. Will you wait for me and look forward to what will I bring to you? ...hahahaa?

 
The National Christian Leadership Conference for ISRAEL, welcome!!
The National Christian Leadership Conference for Israel has been observing current developments in Egypt and several of its neighboring nations with hope, expectation and concern.

Adriaan Zef : I wonder, why the extreme views of Yisrael Ariel did not discourage the support of the dispensationalists - American Evangelicalism. Even the average visit of these people to movement center of Radical Jewish organizations increased sharply each year. They were very excited to see what was going on there, since the plan suited to their own expectations to welcome the victory of the final battle of ages with Muslims. Dispensationalists find their comfort in knowing that under the auspices of Radical Jewish group led by Ariel, then their desire to speed up the holy war will soon be realized.

23 April 2012 
Last year we rode the camels with "Osama". (Remember our story about the Five Camels are you). Day by day, the earth is getting older. Let us keep together. Much has changed in the U.S. since the first Earth Day, 42 years ago. (Where were you when I was a baby?) But then, the factories were still allowed to spout a lot of smoke and pollutants into the air, and motor vehicles were still using leaded fuel.

Environmental Protection Agency has been established to undermine the cause of damage to the earth. Federal agencies and local also imposed many laws to protect the air, water supplies, and animal and plant species threatened with extinction. But the rules for protecting the environment is still causing controversy in most of the U.S. regions.

About our respective claims on the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on global warming, ...ruh-roh shaggy! We, especially I, still have a hidden and special cooler that will work automatically when I feel the local heat in other parts of our earth.

I underlined your question about the possibility of the environmental legislation contribution on job losses and rising fuel prices. And of course, especially your version about Mother Earth and the Sky Father, and all of your rambling babble towards a third of our night's sleep.

Be a good mother to my baby. I'll be home in the middle of this week. I've got what you want. Wait for me honey, I really miss your belly. — in Kabul, Kabol.

Pranay Suresh : I think the phenomenon is as astonishing grassroots explosion where the general public really care about and the Earth Day is their first opportunity to actually be able to participate in a demonstration, expanded nationally. Thus, I can convey a serious message to politicians and steady to get up and do something.

Pranay Suresh : We have pledged to "One Billion Green Action", Sir.
  Jan Pepijn Servaas : Political will is vital and should instead be a force for buying time in order to make meaningful change. It is a matter of priority to public interest rather than personal or group interests, is not it?
  Fairuz Azalia : The Earth Day should be interpreted as a warning (mental reminder) that underlies the sincere togetherness and earnest of the various parties (government, citizens, businessmen, actors and formal/informal) to make positive changes in the way of looking at nature, the earth as our common home.

Almira Izzati : making history – making change!
  Jan Pepijn Servaas : What campaign are you doing here, Izti Almira? The real change can only be achieved if renewal of the favor is not a mere slogan.
  Almira Izzati I : just typed a slogan in your newspaper headlines, Jan .. .. is it true that political will can make a difference?
  Jan Pepijn Servaas : Why do you ask that? How old are you? And please...if you really care about green, it does not mean you can wear green stockings with high-heeled red shoes in this office.  
  Almira Izzati :what??? ....that's a Santa in your head, the old fool! ......

  Jan Pepijn Servaas : Ah, well,... in the end, which should be pursued is how to create a balance. Our success to caring for the Earth can not be done by threatening or banning. Far more important is how to make us able to live side by side with a beautiful environment and a healthy Earth. Sweet greetings to you, Miss Astrid Adrienne.

Astrid Adrienne : BB, I think the environmental paradigm shift --- from the ceremonial and rhetoric (the environment romanticism) to adopt the more sensitive new lifestyles and sensible --- indeed is a smart choice. We still can't choose but we are still able to do something meaningful for our common "home". Of course, a messy home can still be repaired, but remember, the future is purchased by the present. If we make the greater the damage, then we have to pay it more expensive as well. My question is, "Can we?"


Adriaan Zef : Will you please just shut up? I love you.

See the stars come falling down from the sky. Gently passing, they kiss your tears that you cry. See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face. And the rain come falling down in its crazy way. Still I'm sad. For myself, my tears just fall in the dust. Day will dry them and night will find they're lost. See the wind come softly blow time into my heart. And the rain come falling down while we're apart. Still I'm sad. Still I'm sad.

Valentino Vie : What can I do? Will I be getting through? Now that I must try to leave it all behind? Did you see what you have done to me? So hard to justify? Slowly it's passing by? Forever and one I will miss you? However I kiss you yet again? Way down in Neverland so hard I was trying? Tomorrow I'll still be crying? How could you hide your lies? Your lies? Here I am seeing you once again? My mind's so far away? My heart's so close to stay? Too proud to fight. I'm walking back into night? Will I ever find someone to believe?... Hahahaaa?
  Valentino Vie : Baby, I'm not asking you. I just put a question mark at every end of my sentence, this song's lyrics. I find it funny and I try to laugh when I read it over and over again. Are you in there as well laughing when you read it. Do I need to put a question mark at the end of this sentence.
  Astrid Adrienne : Thank you for your package. No one helped me to open it. My hands were working very hard with hammers and pliers. It didn't matter to me. I was just very wary of reckless movements that may be injuring a very important part around my stomach. That's it. Thankfully, though I was sweating and it was enough to drain my energy, I was finally able to get it of your crate. I washed my hands and soaking them in an antiseptic solution. Then I made a glass of apple juice, Adriaan's favorite juice. While listening to your songs, I also chew my favorite pudding, avocado with mocha sauce. During that time, I didn't know which one was more soft, a piece of pudding in my mouth or a nameless feeling in my heart. Which one was more fluid, the mocha sauce in a ceramic bowl or the tears on my cheeks. But then, I vaguely heard my heart was saying, "I'm not as hard as your wooden crate, neither as sharp as your nails."

Dunno how to restore this nameless feeling to your heart's wilderness.
  Valentino Vie : C'est votre bébé, ... ma femme, j'ai lu quelques mots brillants nouvelles, nos yeux sont en pleine explosion rêveurs. Nous traversons le pont à nouveau dans le mouvement lent, la pluie fouetter nos visages. Je viendrai dans la tautologie de la réalité.

Oh, how time flies. It has been taking me to the old tunes in your memory's furnace. What is sweeter than dancing together, clean, fragrant, healthy, fairly satisfied, you love me, I love you, too, we do not have a tax debt in this country, and we are kissing each other with the aroma of two kisses, it's sweeter than what can be said by a white lily. When I was as young as a white lily --- one of my many favorite flowers --- I followed your musical twang, a white lily in my hand was still buds. Eh-eh, how long (PS: Please don't see the clock motion on your wall or your wrist) and how many dances has been done, now look at me. The white lily has more blooms, and I feel I'm growing older than ever before.

Astrid Adrienne : In the woods, no intoxicating wine, no enchanting fantasy. Give me the flute and sing to me, monsieur Vie, because the song is the best drink. Sound of a flute will remain, though the mountains that echoes the sound has vanished. Strains of musical tones is an angel who lives in the kingdom of Gods heaven. When the angel fell in love with a man, then she came down to earth to see him. But the gods knew it, they were becoming angry and sent a hurricane. Then the storm chased the angel, sowed her on the air and spread her in the halls of the earth. But the soul of music didn't die in vain, because it would always be heard in the corners of human hearing.
