Aim : Spirits Of Your Tide 2008


An Indie/Alternative Rock,Post-Rock band so underrated; their album "Spirits of Your Tide" is absolutely loveable with clean.melancholic vocals and powerful song structures;
I could find information about the band @ cdbaby.com :
"Marco Fiorello and the brothers Luca, Marco and Matteo Camisasca give birth to Aim in 2003. Aim’s members come from other bands of the Milan scene like On the blue, Halway, Molecricket and Scothc Woodcock."
Their debut album"Limit Of Sight" including 9 intense tracks which call in mind bands like Funeral For A Friend,Brand New,Thursday,...
but as cdbaby mentions Aim make itself a recognizable band slowly and mostly by its high level live activity.
By releasing their 2008 album "Spirits Of Your Tide" they reach to the point of maturity in their sound and style.
The album is a "emotionally provocative and cathartic rock"[cdbaby.com] album ;explosions of noise mixed with oneiric vocals.
My favorite tracks are "Too Wild" , Hubis II" and "Salige"

Major Dismisses Blair's Reasoning

The former prime minister Sir John Major has condemned as "inadequate" his successor Tony Blair's justification for the Iraq war.

Major criticised Blair's handling of the war and his presentation of the case for invasion in March 2003. He said the Chilcott inquiry into the Iraq war was raising serious questions about the justification for the invasion and whether the government knew at the time that Saddam Hussein no longer had weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Major dismissed the argument recently put forward by Blair that the Iraqi dictator was a bad man and needed to be removed.

Major said it now seemed there were doubts before the invasion about WMD in Iraq. "The suspicion arises that this was more about regime change than it was about weapons of mass destruction," he said.

Major said he wanted to know whether the cabinet had known about those doubts before the decision to take military action. Doubts about the motivation for the war had done more damage to trust in the UK political system than the MPs' expenses scandal, he said.

Major said he had reluctantly supported the invasion because at the time he believed Blair that Saddam's regime represented a threat because it had WMD.

"I had myself been prime minister in the first Gulf war and I knew when I said something I was utterly certain that it was correct, and I said less than I knew," he said.

"I assumed the same thing had happened and on that basis I supported reluctantly the second Iraq war."

Major said that in the mid-1990s aides to Bill Clinton had raised the idea of regime change in Iraq with UK officials. Major's government responded that any attempt to remove Saddam had to be legal and viable.

"There are many bad men around the world who run countries and we don't topple them, and indeed in earlier years we had actually supported Saddam Hussein when he was fighting against Iran," Major said.

"The argument that someone is a bad man is an inadequate argument for war and certainly an inadequate and unacceptable argument for regime change."

Last month Blair said he would have invaded Iraq even without evidence of WMD and would have found a way to justify the war to parliament and the public. In a TV interview he said he would still have thought it right to remove Saddam Hussein from power.

The Chilcot inquiry has seen a number of previously leaked Whitehall documents suggesting Blair was in favour of regime change. He is due to give evidence to the inquiry over the next few weeks.

حکم جامعه مدرسین برای ”آیت‌الله صانعی“؛فاقد ملاک‌های لازم برای تصدی مرجعیت

محمد یزدی رئیس جامعه مدرسين حوزه علميه قم در اقدامی خارج از صلاحیت این تشکل سیاسی، آیت الله صانعي را فاقد ملاك‌هاي لازم براي تصدّي مرجعيت اعلام کرد.

به گزارش فارس، محمد یزدی ادعا کرد: با توجه به پرسش‌هاي مكرّر مؤمنان، جامعه مدرسين حوزه‌ علميه قم براساس تحقيقات به عمل آمده در يك سال گذشته و پس از جلسات متعدد به اين نتيجه رسيده است كه ايشان فاقد ملاك‌هاي لازم براي تصدّي مرجعيت مي‌باشد.

لازم به یادآوری است که در ایام انتخابات ریاست جمهوری گذشته، برخی از اعضای جامعه مدرسین نسبت به صدور بیانیه های شخصی با امضای این تشکل انتقاد کرده بودند

I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your fateless kiss
or will we leave each other alone like this?

A Rose

A lovely rose with petals soft
A scent so sweet and Light
So beautiful a flower
With colors shining bright
But something not so savory
About the fragrant rose
The thorns ,so sharp upon the stem,
That sharpen as it grows,
Yet still lovely is the flower
Despite the thorns that prick
Just as life and love are sweet
They too have thorns that stick,
But do not fear to live or love,
Life's not exempt from pain
So pick a rose .you may get hurt,
But you will also gain!

Mission:Crossing a Puddle of Mud


So
I entered the struggle,
All alone,
Bare to my bones,
All who were supposed to help
Gone away,asleep
It's been tedious ,i know
But somehow
I'm pleased,
It passed and i've grown
Enough to Doubt anything
Heart of Everything ,
I ought to base the theory of life upon this?
No,i won't,
It's just a section of my life
And i.ve been the unlucky one
In this Labyrinth of time
Walls colored with the innocent's blood,
They all lost their hope,
Gave up seeking light,

Now;i'm here,
and I'm here to stay for awhile,
I rise against what you induced,
I 'll search for what you refused to give,
All the compassion you neglected,
I don't need your hand,
Your impudent presence
My soul is to intermingle with light

I am to dedicate myself
To those who care,
Still pure at heart


Scalding?
It doesn't hurt
I swear
As long as i feel it on the right track
Love ;
Is where my being incline to
