Dead in her tracks, Amy Winehouse had more musical albums in her

Possibly a case of drowning her sorrows over a broken heart it transpires. Behind every demise is a broken heart? Reg Traviss, her former boyfriend, who refused her marriage proposal and dumped her before Amy checked in to rehab last month, may have inadvertently hurried along the maybe inevitable fade out of this latest member to the '27 Club'.

"Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, was found dead Saturday in her London home, police said. She was 27...When she was 10, she and a friend formed a rap group, Sweet 'n' Sour - Winehouse was Sour - that she later described as "the little white Jewish Salt 'n' Pepa." "

Throwing into relief the imbalance in reportage on this Norwegian menace who was "spewing virulently racist and violent views for over five years" toward Muslims while supporting fiercely the other side of the Semitic coin, this feisty blogger offers his notes...

Leaving us with some links to the man who killed in Norway and shocked a Muslim terror expectant world:

"Like countless others in the Middle East, I was glued to a TV screen with a group of friends as news of the Norway attacks came in. To be fair, many of us were relieved to learn that the ostensible culprit was not "one of us"--given the massive efforts Norway makes to contribute to a better life to people in the region, it would have been an understandable attack on a very friendly country.

What remains worrying, however, is that some in the mainstream media continue to insist that blaming Muslims for the attack was perfectly reasonable. "

Plugging a seminar in Kuwait:

"During the Holy month of Ramadan, many changes occur in Kuwait. Restaurants will change their working hours as will most workplaces and shopping malls. Traffic patterns also change and one may find their paperwork halted. There are laws and many tips that will help the western expatriate better understand the etiquette and rules associated with this month."

"Jeita Grotto is one of the most visited places in Lebanon. This is the only road that takes you there. This is also the road to Jeita Country Club and is a scenic drive as it gives a great view of the Nahr El Kelb valley which divides Metn and Keserwan. Most tourists stop along the way to enjoy the view and get their picture taken with the mountains and trees behind them. Sadly this road is also a makeshift dumping site for construction debris and the occasional washing machine."

Read a book about social networking (SM) online taking over our lives. And no, don't read the book on a kindle or online.

"Almost all of us who use the Internet are using some form of a social networking service; the most basic being email. Most too, use other forms of Internet communication like: instant messaging and 'chatting'. But, in today's world, millions of people, especially the young, are using other platforms of socializing through the Internet; these are time consuming and can be addictive. Addictive so much that they can be very time wasting and harmful. These are services like: Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and now, Google+; and the many others out there. "

"Needless to say, the events of yesterday in Oslo are profoundly shocking.

I’ve got nothing useful to add to the discussion or analysis on this topic other than to remind you, dear reader, to try to eschew the myriad of Scandinavian right-wing terror experts that will inevitably emerge in the coming days like Gremlins dunked in water."
