Haqqanis: Calling us terrorists could hurt captured GI

Reuters, file

Jalaluddin Haqqani (R), the Taliban's minister for tribal affairs, points to a map of Afghanistan while his son Naziruddin looks on in Islamabad in October, 2001. The Haqqani insurgent group is named after its patriarch and founder Jalaluddin Haqqani, who was a legendary anti-Soviet mujahideen commander in the 1980s. Back then he was admired by the Americans.

By NBC News' Mushtaq Yusufzai and Waj Khan

Senior members of the Haqqani network said that the United States' designation of the militant group as terrorists could?endanger the life of an American soldier thought to be in their custody and jeopardize peace talks.

"The Obama administration and U.S. military commanders know that their soldier Bowe Bergdahl?is in our possession," a Haqqani commander told NBC News in a telephone interview from an undisclosed location on Friday. ?"He?is in our custody, but his government failed to make any sincere effort for his release, and now this new development could add to his woes."

This image grab from an undated video reportedly posted on the internet by Afghan militants on Dec. 25, 2009, allegedly shows U.S. soldier Bowe Robert Bergdahl, who was captured in Afghanistan around six months previously.

The?Haqqanis, a?Pashtun?tribe with strongholds in southeastern Afghanistan and across the border in Pakistan, have been blamed for an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul and other high-profile assaults in Afghanistan. ?The group is also believed to be holding?U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was?captured in 2009 in Afghanistan?s Paktika province, bordering Pakistan?s South Waziristan.

Members of the network say Bergdahl was handed?over to the Taliban?when a delegation of senior Taliban leaders began peace talks with the U.S. in Qatar in exchange for the top five Taliban commanders from Guantanamo Bay. After those talks failed, the Taliban sources told NBC News that Bergdahl was returned to the Haqqani network.

Report: US offers Taliban more for captive soldier

On Friday, U.S. officials announced that the Obama administration would formally designate the Haqqani network as a foreign terrorist organization. The move was part of a complicated political decision as the U.S. withdraws from Afghanistan and pushes for a reconciliation pact to end more than a decade of warfare. ?

But the move would only undermine the United States' efforts in the region, one of the Haqqani commanders told NBC News.

"How (will) their talks with the Taliban bring peace to?Afghanistan?when they declared us terrorists?" the commander, who asked to remain anonymous, said. "It would further increase their hardship and they should wait for more losses in the coming days."?

Even as the United States takes down al Qaida leaders, one of the most lethal threats to U.S. troops in Afghanistan is a terror network based in Pakistan that America's outgoing top military leader says is an arm of our so-called ally, Pakistan. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a report to Congress saying the network met criteria for a terrorist designation on Friday, State Department officials told reporters. ?

'Frustrated' dad of kidnapped US soldier takes action

The Obama administration has been trying to coax Afghanistan's fighting groups into peace talks, offering the prospect of a Qatar-based political office for insurgents and even the transfer of several prisoners being held at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Negotiations have been dormant for months, and the Haqqanis have been among the least interested in talking.

Designation by the State Department as a foreign terrorist organization would bring sanctions such as criminal penalties for anyone providing material support to the group and seizure of any assets in the United States.

The Haqqani commanders also told NBC News that they were part of the mainstream Afghan Taliban headed by Mulla Mohammad Omar and declaring them as a terrorist group would make it worse for the United States and its allies in in Afghanistan.

Rachel Maddow reports the breaking news of a video released by the Taliban which they claim is captured U.S. soldier Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl.

"We are fighters of Islam Emirate of Afghanistan led by our supreme leader Mulla Mohammad Omar," a senior commander said. "Our aim is to expel all the occupying forces from Afghanistan and install a purely Islamic government there."

The Pentagon welcomed the designation of the group as a terrorist group.

"The Haqqani Network represents a significant threat to U.S. national security and we will continue our aggressive military action against this threat," said George Little, Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, in a statement. "These new group designations will build on our efforts to degrade the Network's capacity to carry out attacks, including affecting fundraising abilities, targeting them with our military and intelligence resources, and pressing Pakistan to take action."

The United States accuses Pakistan's?intelligence agency of supporting the?Haqqani?network and using it as a proxy in Afghanistan to gain leverage against the growing influence of its archrival, India.

Pakistan denies the allegations.

Photos: Pakistan -- A nation in turmoil

A senior Pakistani foreign ministry official, who asked to remain nameless because of the sensitivity of the issue, both denied claims that Pakistan was working with the network and dismissed the designation.?

"If we are sponsoring the Haqqanis, which we are not because they cause more problems for Pakistan than anyone else, then only will this new labeling equate to something," he told NBC News. "No responsible person has proven that we are directing them in any way.?Obviously there are contacts, but the U.S. has contacts for the purposes of negotiations, etc. too with these guys."

Man who was subject of Pa. jet explosives hoax later arrested in Texas on outstanding warrants

PHILADELPHIA - A man flying home to Texas to celebrate his 29th birthday instead spent the day as the unwitting victim of a midair explosives hoax that forced the plane's return to Philadelphia. The man was escorted off the aircraft at gunpoint, then cleared of any link to explosives.

Later Thursday, he ended up getting arrested on outstanding warrants when the plane reached Dallas.

Authorities determined the initial scare was a hoax after searching the US Airways jet and questioning the man, who did nothing wrong and was the victim of "a pretty nasty trick," Philadelphia police Chief Inspector Joseph Sullivan said. Police said they were acting on a tip they received Thursday morning.

Officials didn't name the man, but Philadelphia resident Christopher Shell identified himself in a phone call with The Associated Press as the passenger removed from the plane. He declined further comment.

Hours later, however, Shell ran into legal trouble when he was arrested on outstanding warrants after arriving at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, airport spokesman David Magana said. Magana said the warrants are from North Texas law enforcement agencies but declined further comment.

Shell's Facebook page was filled with references to the episode in Philadelphia and photos of him aboard the aircraft before departure.

"We just spent a half-hour in the air to be notified that the plane, `has technical difficulties' and had to fly back! Flight 1267 CANCELED," Shell later wrote, apparently unaware he was the reason for the return.

Police at Philadelphia International Airport received a call around 7:30 a.m. that named a passenger who was on his way to Texas and said he was carrying a dangerous substance, Sullivan said.

The name matched a passenger on Flight 1267 to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, prompting officials to turn the aircraft around after it had flown a third of the way across Pennsylvania. Passengers said they were told the plane was having electrical problems.

After landing, the airplane taxied to a remote section of the airport, where law enforcement vehicles surrounded it.

Passenger Steve McNeal, of Milton, in central Pennsylvania, said he was sitting next to Shell when five heavily armed officials boarded the plane.

"They turned the gun and pointed it at the guy sitting right next to me. I was shocked," McNeal said after the flight eventually made its way to Dallas. "I had been talking to him on the way out for the first 15 minutes of the flight. Nothing seemed abnormal."

Another passenger, Lisa Flanagan, from Philadelphia, said it looked as though Shell "was in shock. He didn't know what was going on."

Authorities escorted Shell from the airplane and put him in the back of a police car, Sullivan said.

"He was obviously very alarmed, as I would be if heavily armed police officers entered a plane to take me off," Sullivan said. "And he was certainly stunned. And that's why this is no joke. This is no laughing matter."

Bomb technicians and specially trained dogs searched the plane but found nothing illegal or hazardous, said Sullivan, who stressed that the passenger is not a suspect.

Police are treating the hoax seriously, he said, because it resulted in a heavy police response and a significant hassle for all those on the plane, which had 69 passengers and five crew members.

"It's just an incredibly foolish and irresponsible thing to do and, bottom line, it's criminal," Sullivan said.

Sullivan said the investigation into the call had been turned over to the FBI. Earlier, an FBI spokesman said the flight was diverted because of a call reporting liquid explosives were on board.

A pre-departure Facebook post from Shell described how someone he knew at the airport allowed him to go "through security with a breeze." Sullivan said social media posts would be part of the investigation.

Shell's hometown is Fort Worth, and he works in Philadelphia for 2020 Companies, a sales and marketing firm, according to his Facebook page. Various posts and public records indicate he turned 29 on Thursday and planned to spend the weekend in Texas.

Police in Fort Worth and nearby Dallas didn't immediately return messages from the AP seeking information about the Texas arrest, and a local FBI spokeswoman said the arrest wasn't an FBI matter. Shell isn't listed in online records for the jails serving either city.

FBI special agent Richard Quinn said it was too early to speculate about what sort of charges could be filed against the caller but they could be severe.

McNeal, who was sitting next to Shell, said he hopes whoever made the call "pays for it."

"Because in this day and age," he said, "it's not funny."

    Classic Game Room - RETRO GAMER Magazine Review

    Classic Game Room - RETRO GAMER Magazine Review

    Classic Game Room reviews RETRO GAMER magazine, the greatest video game magazine available today. Packed with articles about classic video games like Asteroids, Zelda, Mario Kart, Arkanoid, Metal Slug, R-Type, Robotron 2084 and Metroid, Retro Gamer has some serious depth and awesome reading. They frequently interview designers like Eugene Jarvis (Robotron 2084, Defender) and innovators about their games. RG also has reviews of modern releases for XBLA, Wii Virtual Console and PS3. I enjoy the eBay section where they'll cover eBay prices for various game consoles and collections of odd Sega Saturn games and arcade coin-op machines. Where else can you find a multi-page article about the Vectrex or Sega Nomad? Retro Gamer. It's published in the U.K. so it can be expensive for American and Canadian consumers (because the dollar isn't worth squat) and it is shipped on the back of dragons from Panzer Dragoon. It's a hefty magazine packed with articles instead of ads. You won't find self serving re-hashed marketing messages sponsored by game companies promoting their own games in there. The team at Retro Gamer actually enjoys games and seems to have been collecting them for decades. If you're in the United States (or elsewhere that RG is not on shelves) you may not find Retro Gamer at your local store, CGR recommends a subscription. It's Retro Gamer, OLD!

    SHUT UP LITTLE MAN: Movie Trailer

    SHUT UP LITTLE MAN: Movie Trailer

    The most important audio recording released in the nineties wasn?t a collection of songs by a self-tortured alternative star. The most important recording released in the grunge era was entitled ShUT Up LiTTLE MAn! It was a covert audio recording of two older drunken men living in a small flat in San francisco, who spent their available free time yelling, screaming, hitting and generally abusing each other. The phenomenon began in 1987 when Eddie and Mitch (two young punks from the Mid West), moved next door to Peter Haskett (a flamboyant gay man), and Raymond Huffman (a raging homophobe). This ultimate odd- couple hated each other with raging abandon, and through the paper-thin walls their alcohol-fueled rants terrorized Eddie and Mitch. Fearing for their lives they began to tape record evidence of the insane goings on from next door. In recording pete and ray?s unique dialogue, the boys accidentally created one of the world?s first ?viral? pop-culture sensations. Their tapes went on to inspire a cult following, spawning sell-out CD?s, comic artworks by Dan Clowes (Ghostworld), stage-plays, music from the likes of Devo and a hollywood feeding frenzy. For the newly famous Eddie and Mitchell, this would be a life-changing experience that would see them ingested into the belly and fired out the orifice of the pop culture beast.

Asian Stocks Rally On ECB Move, China Stimulus Plan

Asian stock markets rallied Friday after the European Central Bank (ECB) announced the widely anticipated bond-buying program aimed at lowering the struggling euro zone countries' borrowing costs.

Japanese benchmark Nikkei surged 1.93 percent or 167.89 points to 8,848.46, Hong Kong's Hang Seng surged 2.38 percent or 457.93 points to 19667.23 and Chinese Shanghai Composite climbed 4.20 percent or 86.10 points to 2138.02 while South Korean KOSPI Composite surged 2.40 percent and India's BSE Sensex gained 1.66 percent.

At a press conference in Frankfurt Thursday, ECB President Mario Draghi unveiled a new bond-buying plan called "Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT)" aimed at lowering the short-term borrowing costs of the most debt-strapped countries like Italy and Spain. The announcement triggered a global rally and sent the U.S. stocks to multi-year highs.

The OMT will focus on bonds maturing within three years in countries implementing approved fiscal austerity measures. There is no exact limit for purchases it can make and would not target specific bond yields. The program is tied to strict conditions and will possibly include those nation's already under rescue which are close to reentering the bond market. Meanwhile, the ECB left its key interest rate unchanged at 0.75 percent, disappointing those who were hoping on further stimulus for the slowing euro zone economy.

The better-than-expected U.S. private employment report also added to the sentiment. Payroll firm ADP Employer Services said the U.S. private sector added 201,000 jobs in August, up from upwardly revised 173,000 jobs added in July and also topped Thomson Reuter's expectation of 140,000 new jobs.

"The ECB's action has been priced in after earlier reports and contained nothing new, but there was no 'selling the fact', probably because currencies followed the rally in stocks. It appears markets are warming up to a risk-on mode. Markets may be sensing that while it takes time to deliver, things will get done eventually. Also, firm U.S. data put great emphasis on the payrolls data today," Hiroshi Maeba, head of FX trading Japan for UBS in Tokyo, told Reuters.

Japanese Nikkei surged, led by gains from exporter companies' shares after the ECB announcement. Canon Inc. surged 3.23 percent and Toshiba Corp. rallied 5.98 percent while Mazda Motor Corp. surged 4.49 percent.

Financials went up across the region. Daiwa Securities Group Inc surged 4.26 percent and Nomura Holdings Inc gained 4.14 percent in Tokyo while HSBC Holdings Plc gained 2.53 percent in Hong Kong.

Chinese shares rallied on news that regulators had approved another batch of infrastructure projects which should stabilize and reaccelerate the growth in the world's second largest economy. Sany Heavy Industry Co Ltd rallied 9.97 percent and Taiyuan Heavy Industry Co climbed 9.86 percent in Shanghai while and Bank of China gained 2.17 percent in Hong Kong.

"China's NDRC approved plans to build over 2000 km of roads, nine sewage treatment facilities, two waterways, five ports and warehouse projects. This comes a day after approvals for subway projects in 18 cities and three inter-city rail projects were announced. The approvals were granted between April and August, which suggests that they will start impacting the economy already this year," said a note from Credit Agricole.

In Seoul, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd surged 4.18 percent and Hyundai Motor Co gained 3.30 percent.

US nears deal to cut Egypt debt by $1 bn: report

The United States is weighing a deal with Egypt's new rulers to relieve $1 billion worth of debt, The New York Times reported.

US President Barack Obama first promised the aid in May 2011, along with another $1 billion destined to assist Egypt's democratic transition after the fall of longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak.

Egypt, which has seen its economy worsen since Mubarak's overthrow in February 2011, asked last month for a $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, which in turn urged economic reforms.

The Times said that the Obama administration last week sent the first of two delegations to detail the proposed debt assistance, along with $375 million in financing and loan guarantees for American lenders who invest in Egypt and a $60 million investment fund for Egyptian businesses.

"Our goal is to send a very strong message to Egypt that the government understands it's not just about assistance," the newspaper quoted Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides as saying. "It's about growth and business."

He was speaking ahead of a large business delegation led by the State Department and the US Chamber of Commerce that will take executives from nearly 50 US firms to Cairo starting Saturday.

The Times said the executives and the officials traveling with them, including Nides, will call on the President Mohamed Morsi's government to make reforms in taxation, bankruptcy and labor laws in order to foster investment.

"It's important for the US to give Egypt a reason to look to the West, as well as the East," said Lionel Johnson, the chamber's vice president for the Middle East and North Africa.

Morsi is Egypt's first democratically elected leader and the first Islamist to lead the Arab world's most populous country.

Finding Out About The Fact Behind Our Memories | The Secret ...

Since the millenium, and the extremely earliest work into psychology by Hugo Munsterberg, we have recognized that our memory is not corrected, but discerning, vibrant and effortlessly influenced. Yet the idea that our memory functions like a pc is prevails. We would like to think that our memories are views as chemically coded patterns. We would like to think that when we forget, it just implies we?ve failed to file ?the document? away correct or don?t recognize where to look.

Munsterberg?s very first seminal experiment into memory was when he staged a mock fight in one of his lecture halls. The fight led to some sort of murder and his students were then interviewed to ask exactly what they think taken place. The memory scores were exceptionally reasonable, some as inexpensive as 20-40 %. The tryout has been recreated lots of times over the years, and the next time? it might well be in your own psychology classroom!

Experiments such as this, together with the wall of criminal case law, demonstrate how unstable our memories truly are? and how inadequate eye witness testament can be. Nevertheless we continue to think that our memories are great.

This is so vital to keep in mind when we get self-help to improve our memories. The computer system design only works as a great approach, due to the fact that it feels right. Nothing more! Hypnosis programs and subliminal cds use this approach, because it?s a model or a proxy to the genuine operations of our memories.

In truth, our mindful and unconscious exchanges ideas, makes predictions, fills in the blanks, constantly making connections which should be there, iterating around, exchanging and switching till a story types. It then changes when new more information is presented. It is an unconscious procedure, but one which can be enhanced with self-improvement programs.

It?s tough to deal with the reality about memory, due to the fact that it indicates that our memories are not exactly what they seem. It means we are vulnerable to control, and requires us to recognize that the big gap between truth and our perceptions, is quite staggering.

Our brains are exceptionally unsatisfactory at memorising for a good explanation. Memorising every little thing, taking in each stimulus would be so taxing on the brain that we would certainly fail to work well. Our ancient ancestors were more most likely to survive the wilderness if they might assign complex meaning. Running from the predator was a really good idea. Memorising the kind of color of the fur the predator had was not. It was far more important to understand the environment than memorise it. In other words, our minds have been created in this way? so our modern minds can keep in mind just as much as it has to, not much else.

The very best of our ancestors did not ?sweat the little things? which is why we?re positively terrible at it nowadays. Remember this the next time you?re in an argument with your partner!

Venice: 'Fill the Void' looks at Hasidic community

VENICE, Italy (AP) ? Israeli director Rama Burshtein provides an intimate look inside the private world of Tel Aviv's Hasidic community in the film "Fill the Void," which premiered this weekend in competition at the Venice Film Festival.

A Hasidic Jew herself, Burshtein said she wanted to create a portrait of family life within the community without presenting it in conflict with the secular world.

"The Orthodox world is so interesting it does not need to cope with the secular," Burshtein told a news conference Sunday. "It can be very interesting and the drama can be very strong inside."

The film is about an 18-year-old girl named Shira who struggles with whether she wants to marry her brother-in-law, Yochay, after her sister Esther dies giving birth. The decision is all Shira's, despite the strict formality within the community, and the movie ultimately is a story about facing a difficult decision and becoming a woman.

"It's all about emotions and choices and what leads you to do what you do," said actress Hadas Yaron, who played Shira. "I'm also young. But Shira is different from me because she is not familiar with all these feelings she experiences for the first time."

The movie shows intimate rituals of the Hasidic community, from Esther's funeral to her infant son's circumcision ceremony immediately after, Sabbath dinner and the workings of the matchmaker, who helps broker marriages as girls reach Shira's age.

The community, while residing inside the bustling and secular city of Tel Aviv, is very self-contained. In one scene, as the men study, someone gets up to close the windows that allow sounds of secular Tel Aviv to drift inside.

"This moment in the movie really gives the idea of being in the environment," said Yiftach Klein, who plays the brother-in-law Yochay.

Burshein, 45, was born in New York and graduated from film school in Jerusalem in 1994. During that period, she became deeply religious. She has since been making films within the Orthodox community to help promote self-expression.

"I love this world. I chose this world. I was not born to this world," she said.

She said, however, that the Hasidic world did not appear inviting when she first contemplated it from the outside 20 years ago.

"Part of that was because how I thought they saw women," she said. Once inside, however, she said she found she liked traditional roles between men and women.

"I love my role as a woman. I feel it is true. I chose it. It doesn't stop me from doing films, but the way I see the home, between a man and a woman, I love it like this. It is more sexy."

Breathe Easy: Control Allergens in the Home | Home Improvement

Floor 300x199 Breathe Easy: Control Allergens in the HomeMention respiratory allergies and asthma and most people think of the outdoors. The bad news is the allergens that affect most people are actually indoors and cause problems year-round. The good news is people allergic to indoor allergens can often control them.

Dr. James Meyer, a pulmonologist who treats allergy and asthma patients in Iowa, says in addition to obtaining treatment, patients should keep floors and other surfaces clean and dust-free, capture as many airborne particles as possible and control the relative humidity of the home.

Cleaning with a built-in central vacuum system has been clinically proven to reduce allergy symptoms by as much as 60 percent.

?A central vacuum system gives the homeowner maximum cleaning power, completely removes contacted dust and allergens from the living area and doesn?t stir up dust in the home,? says Larry Hartley, marketing director for Electrolux Home Care Products, maker of Beam Central Vacuum Systems. The systems also offer a wide variety of tools and accessories to clean both carpeted and hard-surface floors, blinds, upholstery, ceiling fans, fireplaces and even the garage.

Fewer airborne allergens resulting from using a central vacuum will help air filtration systems work more effectively. Meyer and other physicians recommend patients install pleated filters with a rating of MERV 12 or greater in forced air heating and cooling systems.

Maintaining the home?s relative humidity at 50 percent or lower will slow the growth of dust mite populations, thereby limiting patients? exposure.

Patients should also keep their physicians informed of any changes in their home environment or symptoms.

Move of the Week: The Side Lunge | Fitness | Health | Epoch Times

Created: September 3, 2012 Last Updated: September 3, 2012

The side lunge is great for opening and strengthening your inner thighs. (Photos.com/Andrejs Pidjass)

\>");

The side lunge is a great exercise for improving balance, joint stability in your legs, and hip mobility. If you are very new to this exercise, you may place your hands on your upper thighs for support. However, don?t get used to doing this because you will become dependent on it.

To improve core strength, you must challenge your core by placing stabilizing demands on it. Use your own core strength to support your torso during this exercise as soon as you are ready for the challenge.

Tightness in the groin and inner thighs is very common, and the side lunge helps to actively stretch those areas while you work out. At the same time, you will work the outside of the hips. Plus the side lunge benefits ankle and knee stability while building hip strength and mobility.

That?s a lot of good reason to start hitting the side lunge.

Performing the Lunge

It is important to note that the side lunge is predominantly a hip action. Your knee bends, but it does so to accommodate the hip and torso bend.

Do not lower yourself by bending your knee. Instead, bend at the hip by reaching your buttocks behind your heel. Make sure the heel of the foot that you are lunging toward stays planted.

Warm-Up Variation

Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width, but not so wide that it?s hard to balance.

Place your hands at the top of your thighs.

Keep the left leg straight and shift your weight to your right leg by reaching your buttocks behind your right heel and allowing yourself to lean forward to counterbalance the buttocks reaching back.

Pushing through your right heel, stand back up and stay in a wide stance. Repeat on the other side.

Bouncing back and forth is a great way to open the inner thighs and groin and get used to feeling the hip action. Once that is easy, take your hands off your upper thighs and pull your navel in to activate your core and low back support.

Moving Variation

Stand with your feet together. Lunge to your right side. Step far enough that it is a long step, but not so far that it becomes hard to balance.

As you plant your right foot, shift your weight back into the right heel by bending at the hip and allowing the knee to accommodate the movement.

Push off your right leg with speed and strength so you have the momentum to get your feet back together. Repeat on the other side.

More Challenging

A more challenging way to come out of the lunge is to stand up on the leg you lunged onto. So if you are lunging right, bring your straight left leg together to the right. Repeat as you travel sideways across the room.

Once the side lunge becomes easy, you can pick up some dumbbells and add some arm curls or shoulder presses as you side lunge.

If you do decide to use dumbbells, choose a lighter weight than what you?re used to. Full body exercises can be very taxing. Always err on the side of caution. You can always work harder tomorrow. But if you hurt yourself, you won?t be working out at all.

Pioneer of a dying art? Tailor Hermon Bholaisingh is a special ...

?I never used to communicate with the home. I was outside there from country to country, but my heart was always set for home.?

In his own words, he was conceived on a pressing table, delivered on a cutting table and learnt to stand by holding on to a sewing machine.
That?s Hermon Bholaisingh, one of the last of a dying breed of pioneers of the local tailoring scene.
In these days of readymade and brand name clothes, it?s no wonder that craftsmen like Bholaisingh are becoming extinct.
His establishment, despite growing significantly over the years, is one of only two such businesses remaining on Lombard Street, which was once considered the tailors? capital of Guyana.

Tailor Hermon Bholaisingh

But the resolve to maintain a business started by his late parents, was born of the fact that tailoring was in his genes (his father a tailor and his mother a seamstress).
He traced it way back to his great grandparents, who came to this country from India in 1869 as indentured labourers, with the skill.
But although, he admitted, that tailoring was not his first choice as a career, it was inevitable that Hermon, the second of five children, would continue the tradition of the Bholaisingh?s, which was started in the late 1950s.
Hermon?s is the typical country-boy-come-to-town- and-made-it story.
He was born at Alness, Corentyne to Harold Bholaisingh and Julia nee Drepaul.
Wellington Park Scot?s School provided the early education for Hermon.
?Then I went to Chandisingh in the Corentyne. Then I came to Georgetown and I went to Indian Education Trust College, then I went to the College of Arts and Science,? Bholaisingh said.
Hermon?s family was one of the big landowners on the Corentyne and life there consisted of milking cows, riding donkey carts, making coconut oil and rice farming.
But like most farming parents in those days, Hermon?s parents wanted their children to pursue civil service careers, and not be confined to the daily grind of the plantation.
As a matter of fact, he came from a family of academics-one of his mother?s brothers was once the ombudsman, while another was a popular doctor.
For Hermon, his parents wanted him to pursue a career in medicine, a path that has been followed by his two sisters, one a doctor in the United Kingdom and the other a nurse in Canada.
His brother, however, had a little more of the tailoring genes in him and he pursued a career as a designer in the United States.
But it was Hermon who really threw himself into the business that his father and mother had pioneered to provide a decent life for their offspring.

Back in the days: Hermon on his pedal machine.

It was not like he cared much for tailoring in his early years. In fact that was far from his thoughts as he went on what he described as a journey around the world after leaving school although the circumstance that led to that was not one that he would readily recommend to others.
He described that decision as a ?long story? which he simplified for this particular interview.

Rebellious?Stowaway
?I was a bit rebellious as a young man and I travelled Guyana on motorcycles and then I joined a ship and started to go here there and everywhere, from country to country.?
In fact he was a stowaway on a bauxite carrying ship, which he joined at Linden, and according to him, his parents gave him up as dead having not heard from him for between five to seven years.
?I never used to communicate with the home. I was outside there from country to country, but my heart was always set for home. Being a young man and having the desire to explore, I stayed away for a while,? Hermon reflected.
He was the only ?coloured? person on the ship and his skill as a boy scout and at cooking played a great part in him remaining on the vessel.
His travels took him through the entire Caribbean, North America and parts of Europe, which widened his horizons.
The ?long story? ended like the familiar Prodigal Son of the bible, with Hermon returning to Guyana and immediately reuniting with his father in his tailoring business.

A cherished meeting with Prince Charles of England.

?It?s a trade that?s in the family blood and like we didn?t had to learn it, but we knew all the weaknesses and strength of tailoring; the long cut, the short cut and the neatness. We were actually pronounced as one of the best tailors in this country- the Bholaisingh family,? he explained.

Jagan?s tailor
He sewed for former President Bharrat Jagdeo while his father was the tailor of choice for the late President Cheddi Jagan.
However, Hermon went back to school, a decision he said helped him to understand the business of successfully running the tailoring establishment.
By that time he was in his early twenties. It was round this time that his mother died and a young Hermon went on to get married and start a family.
Of course, tailoring was the vehicle to provide for his young family.
?In the sixties, there were much family (tailoring) businesses around. There were tailors, yes, but people used to employ others,? Hermon said.
But his family?s tailoring business was unique in that there was his father, mother, his brother and himself.
They, however, still found it necessary to employ other persons who were interested in the trade.
In those days, the business was located at the junction of Lombard and De Roy Streets before it was moved to its present location, also on Lombard Street.
Eventually, Hermon developed his own clientele and the business was divided into two. Hermon took a part, his brother another part. His father continued to operate next door.
?It was friendly competition, everybody had their own clients but we were all still family. If the work was too much for me I would send some over to my father or my brother?and the best came out of us.?

A young Hermon with his father, Harold, the late patriarch of the family?s tailoring business.

Hermon specialized in fat cap, for those who are old enough to remember them.
He then started to make windbreakers which were popular with the new fad of motorcycle riding in Guyana in the late sixties, early seventies.
?Everybody was a motorcyclist ? the boy with the lil ?50?,? he explained. ?And we introduced windbreakers, which were made from a material named ?onion skin?.?
Shortly after this period, Hermon migrated to the United States where he spent a lot of time ?going and coming?.
Of course, he did tailoring in the US since some of the clients he had grown to know through the local family business were over there and readily called on his services.
?I had a list of names of people I know who were over there?.but my family was over here and then I decided that America is not what I want,? he stated.
So it was back home for Hermon where he could use his talent to help his own people.
As a matter of fact, Hermon never left the local family business, since he had always maintained contact, sending materials back home.
The Bholaisingh business began to specialize in sewing suits to add to the trousers and shirts that were the standard wear in Guyana then.
Not surprisingly, today, Hermon still sews for himself almost every piece of garment he wears.
The business also dealt with Indian and African garments.
Of course, learning to sew Indian wear was made easy by the passing down of the skill that the old Bholaisingh tailors brought with them from India.
Both male and female clothing were catered for.
There was immense competition from other tailoring establishment on Lombard Street.
?Lots of shops. You had Canadian Persaud, Paul, Bholaisingh and you had Mr. Lee. Lombard Street was tailoring. Anything you want in tailoring, it was Lombard Street, the best was always there, everybody was good in tailoring, that was no joke.?
Every establishment had its own clients and the styles were varied.
?They had drain pipe, bell bottom, fat pants. They had a pants name barrel baggy, it shape like a barrel and the bottom come off fine. I still have some of those trousers?pleated was always there and fold was a gentleman?s wear, if you build a suit, you make a fold pants, a cuff at the bottom,? he said.
Of course, in those days, the pedal machine was standard and according to Hermon, one had to be familiar with the sound of one?s machine to maintain good sewing techniques.
?If you notice you getting a different ear sound, that mean that the thread fasten up, or a nut slack or the machine need some oiling,? he said.

Challenges ?
Of course all tailors then had to endure the emergence of the shirt jack which replaced the shirt and tie and suits they had grown so much accustomed to sewing.
According to Hermon, that is when tailoring started its slow death.
It was the time of the readymade clothes and the few good tailors had started to migrate to other countries.
?And there are not much tailors like me today, because people ain?t taking up the trade,? he said.
He even encouraged his son to train some of the physically challenged persons.
A few years ago, Hermon had embarked on a programme to train young prospects and many would have had the opportunity to learn from one of the best.
?The majority of them are abroad. When they come to Guyana they always pay me a visit. Yes there are one, one around but there are not tailors in this country. You go to Linden, they ain?t got tailor, Bartica ain?t got tailor, Corentyne ain?t got tailors?tailoring has died,? Hermon declared.
?The brain drain had started in those years, with everybody just getting to go away and the best of the quality of people in Guyana went abroad. They get employment because when I went up to America, I met Guyanese tailors who had they little shop and they were sewing for West Indians and people from the African countries.?
Hermon strongly believes that many persons are still fond of tailor-made clothing.
?There are, yes, I can tell you that. There are persons who don?t appreciate what is selling in the stores. After they buy one or two time they just discard it and come right back to the tailor.?
Another factor that weighed heavily on the demise of tailoring, according to Hermon, was the ?brand name? clothes.
He was harsh in his description of these new types of clothing.
?You could get garbage and you put on a name on it, people go for the name and then they realize that they?ve been caught up in the copyrights war. Take India and China for example; anything that America makes, China double producing it and put on a name and share it out to the world. Mass production in clothing, very, very cheap,? he explained.
With this in mind, innovation was the way to go.
?When you had the Amerindians coming from the interior, we were the first tailoring establishment to establish that link by making bulk work and put it in stock so when they come they just shop and the gone their way,? the tailor said.
Even persons travelling by boat from Linden capitalized on the bulk service.

Weddings
That method of operation is still serving him well as today, he stocks suits and other garments in large quantities that one just has to choose which one fits.
Many persons can attest to just walking into Hermon?s establishment and waking out with a suit in a few minutes for the last minute occasion.
Entire wedding entourages have been outfitted by Hermon?s establishment in a timely manner.
Members of the clergy and the judiciary still remain some of Hermon?s main clients and he boasts a clientele that includes some of the most prominent names in these two areas.
His life was also strongly linked to religion, a trait inculcated by his grandparents. ?You must know your God, you must say your prayers in the morning when you get up in the mornings and evenings. You must go to church?I actually grew up in the church. When they have harvest, I take the donkey cart and gone and fetch things.?
To this day, Hermon is still closely associated with ?churches?. He puts it modestly: ?If a church need a help and I could afford it, I will support them with finance or suits. The pastoral clothing, I still sew them for churches.?
He would build a fence for the church as well as participating in church feeding programmes.
?Everything I do, I put God first. Even if I?m dying, I will die with Him in my heart,? Hermon declared.
He is strongly into charitable work these days wanting desperately to give to the less fortunate.
Apart from running his business, Hermon spends a significant portion of his time checking the newspaper for persons who are success stories to send them congratulatory cards.
Sympathy cards are also sent out to persons who are bereaved.
Hermon does not know most of them but he considers what he is doing a hobby.
It will take a book to chronicle the life of Hermon Bholaisingh and the contribution he has made to this country, but he insists that he is just one humble tailor who will do it all over again if he has the chance to.
