 two thousand people have been martyred, but not a single one has received justice. “How is it fair that you are a laborer, a student, or a traveler, then you are killed by looking at your identity card,” he said.
The PPP Chairman said that the state had promised that the National Action Plan (NAP) would be implemented, adding that the state had promised to the children of APS that terrorism would be completely eradicated from the country.
“But sadly, the backbone of terrorism has not yet been broken. We don’t want to hear that this is a foreign conspiracy and it is behind it. If such foreign conspiracy succeeds, it is your failure,” he added. “Unless the state assures the citizens that their lives are safe, the security of the country and the federation will remain in jeopardy,” he warned.
Former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, PPP Balochistan leaders Ali Maddad Jattak, Iqbal Shah and others accompanied the Party Chairman.

Wales This Week, Scratching The Surface
As tattoos become ever more popular, are new laws needed to clamp down on cut-price "scratchers" operating illegally from front rooms?
Wales This Week, Scratching The Surface is on at 8pm, Monday 25th February on ITV Cymru Wales.
Possible hygiene changes to tattoo parlours
Experts say that tattoo parlours in Wales should have to display hygiene ratings to customers. The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health is putting forward the idea, which it says would improve hygiene standards.Friday, February 24, 2012
Friday Favorite: Gigi's Cupcakes is pure ecstasy
I first experienced Gigi's Cupcakes in Norman, OK, when our friend brought them to us one weekend. They were so beautifully decorated and tasted so delicious I knew I would have them every chance I could.
Last weekend,we were in Norman for work and then stayed with some friends. I declared we must pick up a dozen cupcakes to take as a hostess gift and to honor their son's first birthday. (It's still a gift when you get to enjoy it, too, right?) They were delicious! Although, I'm not a fan of the Canadian Maple, which had bacon in it, I can't deny it was tasty. My mouth waters just thinking of the Pumpkin Cream, Wedding Cake, and Grasshopper.
Right before my family returned home, we chopped up the remaining cupcakes so we could have a bite of each.
I've not been that indulgent in a long time, and it was divine.
The news gets better...it's a chain! Maybe there is one near you. If so, go there now.
What are you waiting for? Go now.
Few sure things exist in life. This is one of them.I'm addicted to benzodiazepines, and probably always will be.

It all started when I was 16 years old. I found my Dad's stash of prescriptions he no longer needed, and boy did he have a lot of them. Zopiclone, Codeine, and *my* whole grail.. Clonazepam. I first tried the codeine. 300mg first time, and boy was that euphoric! My first ever opiate, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Then I tried the Zopiclone, which some of you may know to be a z-drug which is in some ways related to benzodiazepines. That too, was fun. 

Then I tried the Clonazepam. I initially took way too much, probably around 3mg, and I blacked out. Funny how such a dose back then made me blackout. A 3mg dose now for me is still recreational, but I cannot for the life of me blackout on the stuff any more unless mixed with alcohol.  I didn't hear from him for years. It ruined our relationship.

That's how it all started. Me snooping in my Dad's medicine cabinets. Clonazepam is like a wonder drug for me. I'm diagnosed Bipolar and GAD, Clonazepam makes me feel like an actual person. It makes me able to make friends, go to work, talk to random people, flirt with women, and just be a productive member of society in general. It makes me want to get up in the morning instead of laying in bed for 4 hours after waking up, not wanting to face the world..

There's the good sides, and the bad sides as you all know. I've abused benzodiazepines heavily in the past, and still do at times; just not as much as before. I've wrecked my Mother's house on the stuff, I've blacked out and woke up in jail, I've climbed bridges above water and hung off without having any recollection the next day. I've fought my best friend, something I thought I'd never do. I've ruined relationships, the biggest one being with a girl I loved dearly. 

I've even tried killing myself on benzos, and thankfully I survived.  

It's not the drugs fault, it's my fault. I'm an addict, to anything.  Benzos seem to be my DOC though.

I am now prescribed them, but I still abuse them from time to time. I used to be addicted to etizolam. I've done at least 6 different benzos, and I know I'm gonna do even more in the future with the whole RC scene and all that. Hell, I got 4 blister packs of Etizolam stuck in customs right now.. I've never had the legit stuff before, and that really excites me..

I don't know why I made this. My doctor is tapering me off benzos, and I'm trying to cut down my abuse and just hoard them so I can use them as needed.  

I guess I just wanted to share my story. They're a double edged sword.. and sometimes I wish I never ever took that first clonazepam pill from my father back when I was 16, seven years ago.

I love benzodiazepines but the benzodiazepines don't like me.2.2.2 Other scenarios: Shell and...
In 1995, Shell International Petroleum published two energy-supply scenarios ('Sustained Growth' and 'Dematerialisation'), which contained similar elements to the WEC scenarios. In 2001, however, Shell published two further long-term scenarios: 'Dynamics as Usual' and 'Spirit of the Coming Age' (Shell International, 2001). The former envisages 'an evolutionary progression from coal to oil to gas to renewables (and possibly nuclear)…', whereas the latter is more radical, charting the rise of a new technological system based on hydrogen, aided by developments in fuel cells and sequestration of carbon dioxide. This system, widely known as the hydrogen economy, is described in Section 4.3. Shell's analysis of the global market shares of different fuels in these two scenarios is shown in Figure 10, tracking trends from 1850 through into the future.
Figure 10 Share of primary energy for different fuels in Shell International's energy scenarios (2001). (a) In the 'Dynamics as Usual' scenario, supplies evolve from highto low-carbon fuels and towards electricity as the dominant energy carrier, driven by demands for security, cleanliness and sustainability. (Note: The curves for hydro, nuclear and traditional renewables converge after 2020.) (b) In the 'Spirit of the Coming Age' scenario, supplies evolve from solids through liquids to gas (methane and then hydrogen), supplemented by direct electricity from renewables and nuclear.
Although superficially rather different, the scenarios shown in Figure 10 display several similarities, including a gradual decline in fossil fuels in the 21st century, and a global market share for all renewables of about one-third by 2050. Interestingly, the two earlier Shell scenarios (1995) both predicted a much higher market share (around 50%) for all renewables by 2050, demonstrating how marked changes in forecasts can occur on a relatively short timescale. Another indication of the frailty of forecasts was ironically also provided by Shell, which reduced its own estimates of the company's oil reserves on four separate occasions in 2004, by over 20% overall. Time will tell whether these re-evaluations heralded a hastening of fossil fuel depletion.
One organisation, Greenpeace, spurred by warning signs that conventional energy resources may be unsustainable, commissioned a study by the Stockholm Environment Institute in the early 1990s that proved to be even more optimistic than the preceding examples (Lazarus et al., 1993). With similar assumptions on population increases and economic growth (to allow comparison with other scenarios), the Greenpeace scenario develops to a situation free from fossil fuels by 2100, dominated by solar and wind power (around 75%), with supplementary contributions from biomass, hydropower and geothermal sources. Nuclear power is phased out rapidly (by 2010), whereas the fossil fuels decline gradually through the century. This scenario requires improvements in energy efficiency that actually reduce global demand around 2030, before it rises again towards the end of the century, and hydrogen is used as a transport fuel and
