LMAO. Low Road? That's called 'IT'S JUST BUSINESS'ukcanuck wrote:
I got a new hate on for Nonis because as a Burnaby native he has added himself to the list of Toronto assholes who have tried to stick it to Vancouver. You're right he doesn't owe the Vancouver franchise anything and needs to do the best job he can for the Leaves but he could do that easily enough without taking the low road that he did with Luongo...
Fucking suck it up buttercup
And please, tell me, how the fuck is Nonis looking out the best interest of his team low class compared to the shit Gillis said at his hiring? You won't low road, that was fucking low road my friend. I don't blame Nonis for playing poker
It must drive you crazy seeing how we need RH D-men right now and that Nonis traded for a player that is exactly what this team could use right now.
Gillis should have kept Rome.

This is what I felt when I traveled with my officemates. Fyi, this is the first time since 2007 that I've traveled with co-workers. Anyway, while Im busy on the details of the trip, my officemates are busy with the food and transpo. Amazing. Uso pa pala ngayon ang happy fiesta na baon sa isang trip! ^_^
Hundred Islands is a 5-hour drive from Manila. It is accessible from the town of Alaminos City, Pangasinan. Called so because this natural attraction has 123 islands, but not all islands are given a name yet.
We arrived at 5:30am. Although the sun was not in sight, the (pesky) vendors immediately flocked our group and began selling their stuff. Prior to this trip, I already arranged an island hopping tour with Mang Fred, he's a boatman in Hundred Islands. Mang Fred's contact# - 0910.604.7426. Unlimited island hopping using a medium boat costs us P1,800. Fyi, you have the option to tour just 3 major islands for a cheaper rate. It's your call.
Anyway, I have to warn you with something. One of the man who approached us said that we'll be needing lifevests and snorkel sets. We told this man that our boatman already assured us that he will provide lifevests for us. He said iba daw yung lifevest sa boat at sa pangsnorkel. Kalakohan! And even before we agreed, he came back and handed us the lifevests + snorkel sets and the ready made receipt. Para di nalang magkagulo, we agreed to pay him.
And as expected, this man tricked us. Aside from we already knew that we have lifevests in the boat, the lifevests that we rented from this man were mostly defective. What's worse is that only 2 out of 8 snorkel sets were functional. Sayang na ang pera, sayang pa kasi di naenjoy nung ibang kasama ko ang pagsnorkel.
Moving on..
Disclaimer: Wala po akong anumang malalim na relasyon sa sinuman sa aking mga officemates. Kung ang isa po sa kanila ay may nagawang kasalanan sa inyo o may pagkakautang sa inyo o tinakbuhan kayo nung kayo ay nabuntis nila, wag po kayo sakin magagalit. Kami po ay magkakasama lamang sa trabaho. Wala po akong kinalaman sa kanila. Pero pwede ko pong ibigay ang mga tirahan at cellphone# nila.. kapalit ang tamang halaga. Char! =)
The weather was a bit gloomy but it didn't matter much. As long as the waves aren't notorious and we can come back safely, we're good to go!
All the effort and food preparation was made by Chris. Everything you need, dala nya!
parang tatay lang
Next, we went to Governor's Island where the famous viewing deck is located.
Aside from the PBB house, we also take a look at the cave beneath the pathway to the viewing deck. Not much to see here.
With all due respect, the beaches and shores aren't outstanding, in my own opinion. We just enjoyed every adventure we could do. And this is the spot where we enjoyed the most - Imelda's Cave.
I would love to jump but (im scared, duh) Im just not in the mood to swim..
Joke lang, opcors!
Next, we headed to where the Giant Clams are found. Sayang lang nalowbatt agad ang underwater camera. Toinks!
ang galing nya lumangoy, inggit ako!
I was really surprised to see the giant and colorful clams beneath the water. They are huge. Plus, the corals and soft plants are beautiful as well. Too bad, the snorkel sets my officemates rented were mostly defective.
Eto namang isa, matigas ulo. Sabi na ngang ang nagkaka-edad, madali na mapagod.
sa ginagawa kong to sa manager ko, malamang hindi na mangyayari ang pangarap kong promotion. ^_^
As lunch time came, we settled in one of the tables in Children's Island. While everyone was busy preparing the food, I was just setting up our music. What I have was the mini and portable speaker which I received as a birthday gift. Good enough, but I wish we had something like a 3 channel passive soundbar , for sure that would give us quality and clear sound trip for this beach getaway.
ginusto nyo yan, wag kayo magrereklamo na tamad ako.. Ü
And I was really impressed with our food. Happy fiesta!
I've never experienced eating a complete meal in a beach trip, specially this food was all prepared by none other than my manager.
We spent time to rest in this place. The area is not really good for swimming because of rocks that hurts our feet.
Paki-basa ulit ang Disclaimer..
After oversleeping, we headed to our next destination. This Cathedral Cave is really interesting, but sadly the waves are so strong, our boat can't dock anywhere near.
There are also other islands that we passed by but we chose not to go anymore.
The last spot we visited is Cuenco Cave. I like seeing rock formations as much as seeing crystal clear beaches. This place is a must-visit.
Overall, we we're satisfied. The islands and caves we visited may not be outstanding, but it's still a good place to visit if you're up for a day trip beach getaway. Probably we'll try a more adventurous trip in our next team outing.
need I say more? ang daming pagkain! everything I need, dala nila.damit ko nalang ang kelangan ko dalhin. hehe
why I don't like traveling with them?
they made me realize kung gaano ako katamad na babae.

2 Oklahoma teens charged with murder in death of Australian athlete
With the simplest of motives — breaking up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer — three teenagers followed an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him with a shot to the back for "the fun of it," prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the teens with murder.
As the boys appeared in an Oklahoma courtroom, a 17-year-old blurted out, "I pulled the trigger," then wept after a judge told him that Tuesday's hearing wasn't the time or place to sort out the facts of the case.
Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys "thugs" as he told Stephens County Judge Jerry Herberger how Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, died on a city street.
Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards, Jr., 15, of Duncan were charged with first-degree murder and, under Oklahoma law, will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan was accused of using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. He is considered a young offender but will be tried in adult court.
"I'm appalled," Hicks said after the hearing. "This is not supposed to happen in this community."
Shot in the back
In court, Hicks said Luna was sitting in the rear seat of a car when he pulled the trigger on a .22 caliber revolver and shot Lane once in the back. Hicks said Jones was driving the vehicle and Edwards was in the passenger seat.
Lane, who had come to the U.S. to study and play baseball, was out for a jog in an Oklahoma neighbourhood when he was gunned down at random by three 'bored' teenagers who decided to kill someone for fun, police said. (Associated Press/Essendon Baseball Club)
Edwards has had run-ins with the law previously and had been in court Friday, the day of the killing, to sign documents related to his juvenile probation.
"I believe this man is a threat to the community and should not be let out," Hicks said as he requested no bond for Edwards. "He thinks it's all a joke."
The two younger boys were held without bond; Bond was set at $1 million US for Jones.
Family and friends on two continents mourned Lane, who gave up pursuit of an Australian football career to pursue his passion for baseball, an American pastime.
His girlfriend, Sarah Harper, tearfully laid a cross at a streetside memorial in Duncan while half a world away, an impromptu memorial grew at the home plate he protected as a catcher on his youth team.
"We just thought we'd leave it," Sarah Harper said as she visited the memorial on Duncan's north, well-to-do side. "This is his final spot."
Flowers, photos and an Australian flag already adorned the roadside in a tribute to Lane.
"I don't know anybody who's left this. It means a lot," Harper said.
Memorial game set for Sunday
Police Chief Dan Ford has said the boys wanted to overcome a boring end to their summer vacation — classes in Duncan resumed Tuesday — and that Jones told officers that they were bored and killed Lane for "the fun of it."
Lane played at East Central University in Ada, about 137 km east of Duncan, and had been visiting Harper and her parents after he and his girlfriend returned to the U.S. from Australia about a week ago.
His old team, Essendon, scheduled a memorial game for Sunday to raise funds for Lane's parents as they worked to have their boy's remains sent home.
At Essendon Catholic School, Lane will be remembered at a November mass in which all former students who have died are mourned and celebrated, former school captain David Ireland told The Age newspaper in Melbourne.
"He was the sort of guy at school who everyone knew and knew quite well," Ireland said of Lane. "He loved his footy (Australian football) and his sport and spent a lot of time with mates."
Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper reported that roses and a baseball were placed Monday on the home plate where Lane played as a youth with the message, "A wonderful young man taken too soon. Why?"
Australian politician urges boycott of U.S.
Former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer criticized the National Rifle Association and asked Australians to avoid the U.S. as a way to force its Congress to act on gun control.
"Tourists thinking of going to the U.S.A. should think twice," Fischer told the Herald Sun.
"This is the bitter harvest and legacy of the policies of the NRA that even blocked background checks for people buying guns at gun shows. People should take this into account before going to the United States. I am deeply angry about this because of the callous attitude of the three teenagers, [but] it's a sign of the proliferation of guns on the ground in the U.S.A. There is a gun for almost every American."
Tara Harper, Sarah Harper's cousin, said her family was working with the Lanes on funeral arrangements but that the girlfriend didn't want to attend court proceedings.
"She wants nothing to do with them. She doesn't want to see them. She doesn't want to hear them," Tara Harper said. "I don't think we'll ever know why it happened. No answer will ever be satisfying, no matter what it is."
Brazen shooting 'unusual'
Police said they had been called to a home in Duncan's gritty east side in response to a possible shooting. At the home Tuesday, pieces of cement with the phrases "happiness lives in hearts that love" and "with God all things are possible" written on them sat cracked on the front porch.
One window was covered with foil, and cardboard and a satellite dish was perched on the roof. No one answered at the home or at homes next door or across the street.
At the site of the shooting, Bill Renfrow, 85, said he saw emergency workers tending to Lane and believed there had been a hit-and-run accident behind his home.
"It's very saddening. It's a terrible thing to happen. It's so unusual," he said, later adding: "He was a guest in the country."

The Atlanta Falcons continue to beef up their cast of linebackers ahead of training camp.
The team on Tuesday announced the signing of free-agent inside linebacker Pat Angerer. The deal is for one year, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, per a source who has seen it. ESPN's Adam Schefter originally reported on the team's intentions.
The former second-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts hit the open market in March after ending last season on injured reserve with a knee injury. Angerer has struggled with concussions and a nagging foot issue, too, but the Falcons are desperate after losing Sean Weatherspoon for the year with a torn Achilles.
If Angerer is fully recovered from microfracture surgery, he has the chance to win a roster spot and potentially see a bundle of snaps for a Mike Nolan scheme hurting for talent at the second level.
It wasn't so long ago that Angerer piled up 148 tackles for the Colts in 2011, but the veteran hasn't been the same player since.
The Falcons, though, see enough in Angerer to float him one more shot at making a team.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" shines a light on the most unpredictable teams entering the 2014 season.

They look amazing, and I need some... A Canadian friend who currently lives here in Australia is attending Comic Con and is kindly going to purchase me some sets, and I'm not the only friend she is buying for. So if a friendly Canadian girl with some amazing tattoos rocks up to your stand and starts buying up the patches, you will know she is shopping for a bunch of Australians :)

Is this a lunchbox? A boombox? Actually, the Mu Space music player is a bed box. Its body carries a soft bed inside, doubling as an audio pillow thanks to its rotating speakers. This is how it works:
You just have to open it, unfold the bed, turn the speakers inside, and get to sleep listening to slumbering songs. Simple. Even while the Bondi iMac color scheme is a bit passé for my taste, I wish I had one of these while I was waiting at the—horrible—Goa airport to get back to NYC from my—lovely—hunnymoon.

The Difference an Early Diagnosis Makes
Patient story
Jessica Armstrong
January 2014
It was dusk and the men at the Afghan National Police headquarters were turning on the generator that powered the electric lights in the station. We sat in a haphazard circle that stretched across the furnitureless room, our bellies full of kabob and naan bread. My interpreter and I had spent the week working with the Afghan men who formed the police force in this village, and had earned ourselves an invitation to join them as they unwound from a day's work. Now relaxed, we sipped green tea and played a traditional board game, similar to the air hockey I had grown up playing with my brother in Virginia. Late into the evening, the pleasant sound of overlapping conversations mixed with laughter and the thrum of Afghan pop music… it was a perfect evening.
Two days later I lay in a hospital bed on Bagram Airfield. I had collapsed the morning after returning from two weeks in the field, falling in and out of consciousness for more than four hours before I was able to belly crawl to a phone and call for help. I was physically unable to stand. The doctors were initially confused as to why a seemingly fit and healthy young woman would present with a blood oxygen level of only 58; frankly, I was confused, too.
At 29 years of age, I was in the best shape of my life. I had been in Afghanistan for seven months, participating in all day patrols — while carrying an excess of 90 pounds of gear — at least six days a week. On my days "off" I hit the gym hard, working to develop the balancing muscles needed to support my heavy kit and running six miles a day. Prior to my deployment I'd played rugby, competing at the national level, and was an avid runner. Then, in April, I was walking to the chow hall and noticed I was breathing hard. I chalked it up to the poor air quality on the base, and made a mental note to start wearing a dust mask during my runs. Two weeks later I began feeling strange while on patrol. With my heavy breathing drawing looks and teasing remarks from my buddies, I volunteered to go back to the vehicle, where I blacked out. I woke up shortly before we returned to post where a visit to the "med shed" yielded an asthma inhaler. A month later I was patrolling another village on top of a mountain. At 17,000 feet, in the most sensitive area I'd worked in, I suddenly found myself unable to breathe. To the distress of my patrol sergeant, I took off my protective body armor, shameful with the knowledge that I was putting the entire patrol at risk, but no matter how much air I took into my lungs it felt like I wasn't breathing. We aborted the mission and I was taken back to the post hospital. This time I was given a bag of fluid and two asthma inhalers.
This last collapse occurred on June 17th, two months from the start of my symptoms. I was scared, but it now seemed that the CT scan had identified the problem: I had developed five pulmonary emboli (PE). The prognosis was not good. Within 48 hours I was in a second hospital, this time in Germany. The doctors in Germany stabilized me, releasing me after a week into the hands of a young Staff Sergeant who had been assigned to see that I returned safely to the US. Unbeknownst to me, the doctors in Germany had expressed to my superiors their concern that I might not survive the trip.
In October, just four months after my evacuation, I was cleared to resume my exercise regime. Returning to my daily runs, I found that I struggled to complete a single mile. I also noticed chest pain from the exertion, but decided that these were things I needed to work through, and that exercise could only improve my condition. After just three weeks of exercising regularly I became convinced that my body had beaten the PE, and decided to see some non-military doctors for a second opinion.
Thinking back, Dr. Svetlecic must have thought I was a crazy person. Here I was, less than four months after a major PE event, hopping up on her table as I announced that the purpose of my visit was to have her confirm my clean bill of health, and sign the paperwork clearing me to return to Afghanistan. Instead she hospitalized me. And there I sat, two days before Halloween, looking sullen as she explained something I had never even heard of: pulmonary hypertension. She brought in a cardiologist and a hematologist. The three of them showed me images of my chest and explained that, while my lungs were inflating, very little of the oxygen was reaching my bloodstream. I had effectively lost use of 75% of one lung and 25% of the other. My heart was working overtime to try and push through the blockages, and I was at immediate risk for heart failure. My parents were called and flew in for the conversation that no parent ever wants to have: I would not be returning to Afghanistan. I was a ticking time bomb. My heart could go at any moment. At best, my condition was only sustainable for another five months. I was going to die. And then, I saw my father cry.
Two days later I was released from the hospital. Quite simply, we were told, there was nothing else they could do. My parents and I returned to my apartment in a fog. That afternoon, as we sat in my kitchen not knowing what to say to one another, Dr. Svetlecic called. She had done some research, and had learned of a center at the University of California, San Diego. UCSD had pioneered and perfected a procedure called a pulmonary thromboendartectomy (PTE). As an otherwise healthy CTEPH patient I was a good candidate, but it was a long shot. Their waiting lists were long. I gave her permission to refer my case.
On January 20, 2012, I underwent a pulmonary thromboendartectomy at the Sulpizio Medical Center at UCSD, once again embarking on a long, hard road. It was painful; more painful than I ever could have imagined. Dealing with the pain from the fresh surgical site and the loss of my former life simultaneously, launched me into a period of deep depression. Bit by bit over those first three months, my outlook improved. I joined a church in my neighborhood, I made some friends, and then, an absolutely wonderful thing happened: I met someone special. Really special. Someone who could accept me, scars and all, and who, after I opened up to him about my illness, asked only one question: "if something ever happens, what symptoms do I look for, and what can I do to take the best care of you?"
Last September we were married, and I began my married life with the profound sense of being extremely blessed. Despite stretching across three countries and five U.S. states, my diagnosis had come relatively quickly, within six months, as opposed to the average of 2.8 years that most pulmonary hypertension patients go without diagnosis. I was fortunate to have been in the care of a pulmonologist who was unwilling to give up on me, even when her hospital's administrators said there was nothing to be done. I was also fortunate to be connected to UCSD's PTE program, which only began in 1990 — 22 years before it saved my life, and to have access to the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, which opened less than one year before my surgery. I was blessed by all the researchers and all the patients who had come before me, who had done the hard work that led to my happy ending. I had a second chance at life, and at a good life, and I was grateful to have it.
Then, on November 6, 2013, we got the news that my 29-year-old cousin, Christina, had died in her sleep of right heart failure. A member of my own family had died from undiagnosed CTEPH! My reaction was a myriad of emotions: I felt profound guilt for not knowing that Christina had been sick and for not making sure that everyone that I knew was aware of the symptoms. I felt overwhelmed by the extreme disparities in our outcomes. I felt grateful to be alive, and then instantly ashamed of that emotion.
Christina's death changed my life, but not in the way you might imagine. In my grappling to understand how this could have happened, I finally began to study the disease in earnest. I learned that not only do most pulmonary hypertension patients go an average of 2.8 years before being successfully diagnosed, but that the average survivability without treatment is also 2.8 years. I learned that, in addition to a curative surgery for CTEPH, there were nine, now 12 approved therapies for pulmonary hypertension. That week I made a decision to dedicate my life to changing the patient experience for patients like Christina, and for patients with PAH and IPAH, and PH with associated conditions. Earlier this year I honored that pledge by joining the Pulmonary Hypertension Association's Early Diagnosis Campaign — www.SometimesItsPH.org — a dedicated effort to reduce the time between symptom onset and accurate PH diagnosis. Every day I work to reduce the knowledge gaps and the barriers contributing to the high rate of missed and delayed diagnoses. I do it for Christina, I do it for myself, and each day, I am humbled by the incredible people who stand beside me.

We told you on Thursday that Oakland Raiders running back Taiwan Jones would likely be carrying the load against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. On Friday, Raiders coach Dennis Allen made things a little more official.
Running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson were both ruled out for Week 10, as expected. Defensive lineman Richard Seymour is also out.
The Raiders are a hard team to figure out. They have battled to the end of most games and quarteback Carson Palmer has racked up passing yards, but they can't get anything done on the ground. The defense has probably grown worse under Allen.
Any realistic chance for the Raiders to stay in the AFC West will be out the window if they fall to 3-6.

To hold a pen is to be at war, Voltaire
April 19, 2019
Yes, I'm still working on the second cycle of my pen-named Late Roman espionage series. Books 1, 2, and 3, (the seventh, eighth and ninth overall) are now drafted. So for the rest of this year, I'll revise until all three adventures are ready for dedicated fans of the first six novels to impulse-buy, sink back, and enjoy while I tackle the final three stories.
(What am I talking about? ask newcomers to this vague author site who still think of me as the fantasist who imagined talking to Voltaire.)
Well, merge "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold" with "Quo Vadis," and all the unexpected elements of a Late Roman time period few authors tackle, and you have the idea.
There was so much positive reaction to the way the threads of my narrative came to a satisfying close at the end of the first cycle of six books, (although each book is a distinct novel that can be read independent of the others) I'm taking the same care that nothing is published in the next cycle before the longer threads are mapped out.
All these novels are published under a man's name, but they've been finding male and female readers alike around the world, especially in the UK and Germany, thanks to e-book as well as paperback distribution and new expansion via library subscriptions to Scribd or Overdrive. A touch of advertising on Amazon had boosted US sales at last, I'm happy to add.
For the sake of protecting 'the boy brand,' you won't see these dark rough-and-tumble genre babies promoted here.
I laughed when I saw that John Banville wrote his Benjamin Black thrillers in a fraction of the time he wrote his literary prizewinners, leaned back from his keyboard, looked in the mirror and said to himself, "You slut."
So, sluttishly, I say 'hi' to anyone who might have stumbled here and continue to be contactable at email@example.com.
Yours, slutty and productive,
(Secret Pen Name)
To all those superior city types who incessantly ask me, "After London and Hong Kong and New York, how can you stand it? Do you STILL live in that village up in the mountains? I'm making no apologies. Show me the view from your kitchen window and I'll show you mine, here.
January 27, 2011
At last, PEN Suisse Romand's Honorary Prisoner, Chinese writer and political voice He Depu, has completed his eight years' imprisonment in Beijing No. 2. He was released January 24. Insisting he was a free man, he declined to be bundled into a police van without a fight, sustained some injuries at the hands of the police, and no doubt some struggles wll continue for him, particularly with the restrictions the authorities have imposed on his speech and civil rights. But he and Jia Jianying, his loyal and courageous wife, can at last enjoy the simple pleasures of being together after so long.
Sponsoring Mr. He Depu was always more my privilege than of any material help to him. Over the last five years, his perseverance and the bravery of his wife and son in enduring their own unofficial isolation at the hands of the Chinese Communist authorities, has served as an inspiration to me. Moreover, the tables unexpectedly turned in 2009, when my health took a terrible turn and it was this Chinese couple, whom I have still never met, who sustained me with their wishes of support and encouragement. As I joked with my doctors, you know you're pretty sick when you're getting "get well" messages and sympathy from somebody in Beijing Prison 2!.
I'm confident that the Year of the Rabbit is going to be a better year for all of us, and although I've lost a very special correspondent, the world has regained an important voice for Chinese democracy.
Here's the press release from China Human Rights Defenders:
Democracy Activist He Depu Released After Eight Years in Prison
On January 24, He Depu (何德普), Beijing dissident and one of the founding members of the banned China Democracy Party, was released from prison after serving an eight-year sentence for "subversion of state power." He reported that, shortly after leaving the prison, he was involved in a physical confrontation with a police officer who sought to take him to a local police station. Though He's hand was injured, he was allowed to return home and is not in police custody as of the time of writing. Reportedly, friends and fellow activists were warned not to meet with He following his release, and his wife Jia Jianying (贾建英) was called in for a "talk" with police ahead of her husband's release.
Can it be only one more week, and He Depu actually walks out of Beijing Prison No. 2, having completed his sentence at long last?
it seems so long since we took up his case at PEN Centre Suisse Romand and what little we did, it wasn't enough for someone who's suffered so much for the simple "crime" of running for office under the Democracy Party banner and being tortured to "confess" state subversion for believing in the future of a democratic China.
One more week...
GENEVA, November 2, 2010
If there were any justice in the "people's" China, tomorrow would be the long-awaited day of release for PEN. Suisse Romand's Honorary Writer in Detention, He Depu. He has served exactly all eight years of his sentence on a conviction based illegally (under Chinese law) on evidence obtained through torture. His immediate release was demanded by the UN Rapporteur on Torture, Manfred Nowak years ago — to deaf diplomatic ears at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Unfortunately, Mr. He won't be walking out of Beijing No. 2, Cell 17 tomorrow because the Chinese courts have refused to acknowledge or credit him the 85 days of police detention, torture and beatings prior to his conviction. They intend to continue incarcerating him until January 24, 2011. Their reason? His wife's failure to provide "sufficient evidence" that he served time strapped to a "shackleboard' being battered by the Beijing cops.
His wife has registered a second appeal. Meanwhile, during a brief conversation in prison with his wife in recent weeks, Mr. He was nonetheless upbeat, saying, "I'm proud to be wearing the same uniform as (Nobel Peace Prizewinner) Liu Xiaobo and to be carrying the same charge on my shoulders." That charge of state subversion in 2002 was laid on Mr. He for the "crime" of running for political office under the banner of the China Democracy Party.
This amazing laywer with the Beijing Huaji Law Firm got dragged into the Fengtai Public Security Bureau in Beijing and what resulted is his defiant, funny and revealing Twitter'ed transcript of the political quarrel between him and the deputy boss of the Fanjiacun Police Station. In English, translated by China Digital Times, here is another visit to Kafka Land, otherwise known as the post-Nobel world of the Chinese intellectuals being detained on the mainland. This guy is someone to watch!
Ding Zilin, the 74-year-old head of Tiananmen Mothers, who strongly supported the Nobel award for Liu Xiaobo, has now been held incommunicado, (thought to be in Wuxi,) since October 8, 2010.
Is the Chinese government so weak, it's afraid of the voice of a single little old lady?
On behalf of our PEN Centre Suisse Romand I have the pleasure and privilege of nominating our Honorary Prisoner, Chinese Writer in Detention He Depu, for the inaugural Liu Xiaobo Courage to Write Award of the Independent Chinese PEN Center. The final decision will be announced on November 10, the global Writers in Prison Day. We wish all the nominees good health and strong spirits.
February 2010 started the Year of the Tiger with news that The American Library (Geneva) awarded First Prize in their 2009 creative writing contest to Küng's radio monologue, "Lady Macbethad's Epilogue," in which we hear a sympathetic and triumphant backstory to the Macbeth legend.
Küng's sixty-minute radio play, "Dear Mr Rogge," based on the couragous defiance of Chinese writer in detention, He Depu, received a commendation August 21, 2009, from the BBC World Service/British Council 2009 International Playwriting Competition in which there were 1,200 entries. Congratulations to the two first prizewinners, detailed in the link below, whose plays will be produced and broadcast on the World Service. Also thanks to the BBC for sponsoring radio playwrights from all over the world.
February 24, 2010, New Year's reflections by He Depu, Chinese Writer in Detention, Honorary Prisoner, PEN Centre Suisse Romand
China is celebrating its New Year in a few days. I remember spending New Year's Eve at home. (Perhaps beccause of my work in the democracy movement,) I often felt depressed and could not cheer up. Especially when I saw images on TV of pious pilgrims waving flowers and colored ribbons dancing, and singing, wholeheartedly greeting the New Year, I found it particularly difficult to feel cheered. At those moments, as a Democracy Movement veteran, I often asked myself: the Chinese democracy movement, those who wrote on the Democracy Wall, who gathered on the Square, those comrades who were arrested, where are they now? How are their families doing? Those heroes are in prison now because they stood up for freedom and democracy, while I wallow "in a sea of happiness". I felt so helpless. I felt guilty and ashamed. But those feelings of shame and guilt propelled me forward.
The New Year of 2010 is the eighth New Year I'm spending in prison. Although the living conditions here are so much worse than living at home, yet I feel most tranquil. This is because I don't get into self-blame from feelings of shame or neglect of my social responsibility.
I can stand up straight and hold my head high and say the truth, uphold my principles as a human being, giving my all. After the experience of all these years, I understand many things, many problems, things and problems that those who have not had prison experience do not understand.
When I am free again, I will take my time and tell you.
All these years, my strongest feeling is that family members, compared to those in jail, have a much harder life, much worse hardship. They are the weakest people in society. Not only are they dirt poor in terms of their economical situation, but in terms of politics they carry the burden of discrimination (such as the fact that the children of our families are not allowed to take exams for certain departments). Sometimes even their own mobility is restricted. Because of their family members in jail, they pay a dear price— too dear. Without their commitment,
we cannot accomplish the smallest things. To express my deep admiration for them, I have written a little poem for you and for our families. The poem is not good, but it expresses my heart's wishes.
Beautiful flowers in a dream
Pristine, pure, flawless
They blossom in hot summer, severe winter, against the harsh wind.
The whole world turns toward them in unison of praise.
23 February. (from Mrs Jia Jianying)
I went to see Depu. His spirits are good. He is very optimistic. He loves to hear greetings from friends. This time nearly everything I told him was New Year greetings from friends. He was very happy. He even asked me how Liu Xiaobo was doing and whether I had given him the quilted blanket.
When I said: I have helped Liu Xia finish the quilted blanket, he was so happy.
He again reminded me to write to you. He wants to tell you he is doing fine and that you should not worry, and he thanks you. When he gets out, he wîll actually say his thanks to you.
I too was feeling so helpless when I received your support and help. I have always felt deeply grateful.
I hpoe you and husband enjoy good health and happiness. Hope your children enjoy happiness.
Thank you.
He Depu's wife Jia Jianying

Population and Security
In April 2008, General Michael Hayden, director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, cited population growth as one of three top destabilizing trends facing the world (the other two were the rise of Asia and the changing relationship between Europe and theUnited States).While no reasonable expert would argue that there is a simple causal relationship between demography and security-e.g., that a total fertility rate of five children per woman indicates that civil war will break out 20 years fromnow, or that a country cannot remain stable unless its age distribution resembles a bell curve-demographic trends can clearly interact with poverty, poor governance, competition for natural resources, and environmental degradation to contribute to conflict. As examples, we need look no further than Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Haiti, or Egypt-places where in recent years tensions that led to conflict may have been heightened by demographic pressures.
Demographic Diversity
Those pressures ebb and flow according to demographic circumstance. Current world population trends are varied,with a vast disparity between the experiences of the most-and least-developed countries. Although the global population growth rate is slowing, the planet still gains a net 78 million people per year (roughly the population of Ethiopia). Some analysts and policymakers in developed countries are sounding the alarm about falling birthrates, the economic costs of supporting increased proportions of the elderly, and future population decline, but of the projected increase of nearly 3 billion people by 2050,more than 95 percent is likely to occur in less developed countries. If fertility trends were to stay constant at current levels, for example, the population of Yemen will surpass that of Russia-a country currently seven times its size-by 2050.
The majority of the global population lives in countries whose populations will continue growing for the long term, based on current trends. Fifty-seven percent of the world's people, including nearly all of Africa, live in countries where fertility rates are higher than "replacement level," the rate of 2.1 children per woman at which population neither increases or decreases.More than 800 million people live in countries in which fertility averages four ormore children per woman- a level that, if sustained, will lead these populations to double in less than 35 years.

So, here we are once again, the day after opening night of a new NHL Season.
To start, here is my disclaimer...
* My upcoming banter is to NEVER be taken seriously, because quite frankly, I suck at writing.
Last night, I watched the Blackhawks raise (another) Banner, Stanley Cup Style, saw new leafs coach Mike Babcock win the first ever NHL coach's challenge, and in a later game, watched my 2nd favorite team, the get embarrassed at home by a 5-1
It has, in fact been 5 months since my last blog, and for that, i am deeply sorry...
Actually, no i am not.
I'm not sure if it was due to a severe lack in creativity, laziness, or if i just suck at life. I'll go with the latter.
Jumping back into it, there has been some crazy things happening in the world of hock hock this season.
#1 John Tavares had an insane OT winner last night vs Toronto, in Toronto, as the leafs lose (again) by a score
Short and Sweet today
That loud commotion most hockey fans heard coming from the east last night was in fact not a (carolina) Hurricane, but a combination of Islanders and Bruins fans...
While Islander faithful rejoiced after a solid win in their first game of the season, what followed was a collective chorus of scattered boos from the boston area.
Mind you, the bruins fans were not interested in the game per se, but rather how Johnny Rocket fared in
Welp, NHL night #2 is in the books, so i'll get right to it.
Every passionate NHL fan, goes in to the season with a new sense of hope, faith, excitment, "frisson" and vigor. When the games finally begin, some fans are loyalists, some fans are purists, and some fans are quitters.
Yes, disgruntled oiler fan who tossed his jersey into the ice, (after just ONE game) I'm talking to you.
Welcome to HG's Randumb Rum-Blings...

April's jobs: Americans aren't working
There's a lot going on in this month's jobs report. The headline number of jobs created — 115,000 — is miserable: it's basically just enough to keep up with population growth. That's the number the markets look at. The number the politicians look at, however, is the unemployment rate, which ticked down to 8.1%. That's still high, but it's not a statistic to beat Obama round the head with.
The big news, however, lies elsewhere, in the fact that a whopping 522,000 people
left the labor force joined the "not in labor force" rolls last month. When more than half a million people in one month decide that they're not even going to bother looking for work any more, there's no way you can say you're in a healthy recovery.
Zero Hedge has the two charts which matter. First you have the number of people not in the labor force, which has been climbing steadily through the recession and the recovery, and is now approaching 90 million. The only time it fell was during the first quarter of 2010 — the census-hiring boom. This chart speaks volumes to me: it says that while Capital might not be in a recession any more, Labor still isn't working.
Then there's the even scarier one, which is the labor force participation rate — now down to 63.6%.
This chart is just petrifying. The participation rate started falling after the dot-com bust, leveled off during the credit boom (but never really rose much), and then fell off a cliff when the recession started. You'd think it would have started to bounce back up by now, but no. Instead, we're now deep into pretty much unprecedented territory. Yes, the participation rate has been this low before — back in 1981. But that was during the decades when women were still properly moving into the labor force.
As Mike Konczal noted this morning, a key indicator of labor recession is still in force: if you're unemployed, you're still more likely to drop out of the labor force entirely than you are to find a job. And as Dan Alpert noted, in a country of 314 million people, there are only 115 million full-time workers and 27 million part-time workers. It's really hard to get a robust recovery when the number of people earning money is so anemic.
For demographic reasons — the retirement of the baby boomers — the labor force participation rate is naturally going to fall over the next decade. But go back just one year, to March 2011, and look at the official CBO projection of the labor force participation rate. The CBO saw a rate of 64.6% in 2012 — a full percentage point higher than we're at right now. The participation rate wasn't expected to fall to today's level of 63.6% until 2017.
Politically speaking, the unemployment rate is still the number that people concentrate on. But increasingly, being unemployed is little more than a halfway house between employment and dropping out of the labor force altogether. Until the labor force participation rate stops falling and starts rising, the so-called recovery will remain a theoretical economic entity and not a real-world reality for hundreds of millions of Americans. We need jobs, and we need them now. Ben Bernanke, and Congress, are you listening?
Update: The labor force actually fell by 342,000, not 522,000. The working-age population grew by 180,000, however, so the number of people not in the labor force went up by 522,000.

For every marketer or civil engineer who jumps into six figures pretty quickly, there are going to be x number of art history or philosophy majors that turn into professional kiosk managers.
Which is why colleges should consider dropping those programs to be the good "educational" citizen. Not saying that the world doesnt need those, but it needs to be a more strict process. Everyone makes a big deal out of predatory mortgage lending but I am starting to think it's truly criminal giving a 17 year old a student loan for a major that doesn't have a job market...
Agree. The employment statistics schools put out too are so misleading as well.

Maria Iorillo, Licensed Midwife
Catching babies at home and assisting hospital births
in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1986
Welcome to Wisewoman Childbirth Traditions, the San Francisco home birth midwife practice of Maria Iorillo, Licensed Midwife. If you are pregnant, live in San Francisco, and are interested in a home birth, please contact me. You can email me at email@example.com or you can click the link below to schedule a free introductory appointment. I look forward to meeting you and would feel honored to join you on this incredible journey!
The special care of a midwife means:
Comprehensive, individualized prenatal and postpartum care
Continuous support and monitoring throughout labor and birth
Prenatal counseling to build a foundation of confidence, trust and comfort
Acknowledgment of hopes, fears and expectations of birth
Working together to understand and experience the beauty and power of birth
Postpartum and lactation support for breastfeeding and family bonding
Birth is Empowering
Empowerment is a feeling of accomplishment and self-awareness that is the result of an extraordinary experience. A woman in birth discovers her limits and what it means to reach beyond those limits. She finds inner strength where she least expects it. During her labor, she surrenders her power, only to find it again on the other side.
Birth will be like climbing a mountain or running a marathon. What will you do when you hit the wall the first time? What will you do when you hit the wall the second time? Learning to trust the birth process and the body's wisdom is part of the personal journey. Your birth team is there with encouraging words, hands-on comfort measures, and the soothing resource of water. The natural process of birth will take you where you need to go.
When you make it to "the other side" of birth, you can look back with awe and pride. Like stepping over the finish line, you have finally reached a goal that you prepared for on many levels. You experienced your own strength and willingness. You know your own power.
Philosophy: Is homebirth safe?
This is one of the most common and important questions regarding homebirth. Studies show that homebirths achieve similar safety statistics as hospitals when three criteria are met:
the homebirth is planned;
a skilled attendant is present; and
medical back-up and consultation are available.
Licensed midwives provide the skill, knowledge, and equipment to fulfill these criteria. With a 3.7% Cesarean section rate and a 97% satisfaction rate, midwives provide a safe and caring birthing option.
Comprehensive prenatal care sets the stage for a safe homebirth. Clinical evaluation, including lab work, assures that the mother is within the low-risk category throughout her pregnancy. Hour-long prenatal visits provide a relaxed opportunity to ask questions, explore feelings and concerns, and work through any emotional challenges that may arise. Together we will address your fears and honor your process.
Through the intimacy of midwifery care, you and I build a foundation of mutual trust and confidence that will be essential during the birth. Our relationship develops through honest communication and personal integrity. I want to know how you envision your birth and what I can do to help you accomplish that dream. You will get to know the opportunities and limits of a homebirth setting. By answering questions and providing information, I will ensure that you are well equipped to make informed choices throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum time.
When midwives consider homebirth safety, we are concerned with the mother's emotional, as well as physical, well-being. Emotional safety means that the mother is free from excess anxiety and fears. The mother needs to feel secure and supported. At home, she is surrounded by her chosen birth team, which may include family and friends as well as her midwives. With this support around her, she can be vulnerable, scared, open, joyous, exhausted or exhilarated. She can be herself, uninhibited, and do what she needs to do to birth her baby.
Feeling emotionally safe allows you to enter the unknown and surrender to the process at hand. Your midwife is there to guide and facilitate this journey. Just having her by your side can give you the confidence to carry on when the intensity of labor takes hold. The midwife is the wisewoman who has seen birth before and is familiar with birth's many faces. She will guide you based on her experiential knowledge as well as her intuition and values. You will learn to trust your midwife, your birth partner, and, most of all, yourself as labor progresses.
Birth is hard work, probably the hardest work you will ever do. With the right support and preparation, giving birth will be one of the most important and meaningful experiences of your life.

America isn't the only nation that STILL uses Fahrenheit (Fahrenheit is older), in fact most developed nations used it at one point (imperial system is what some call the old system) until the metric system came along.
Actually F is more precise than C take into consideration:
100 - 80 = 20
38 - 27 = 11
20 - 11 = 9; That's 9 degrees of more accuracy.
I'm not saying US system (imperial) > metric though, metric is better IMO because it is waaaay easier to convert.
As an American that is familiar with both systems, I don't care what we use but in reality it is a bigger hindrance for other nations that we don't use the metric system because the massive majority of international media (books, movies, video games, etc.) that is either produced in the US or targeting the US market utilizes the imperial system for our benefit.
Little off topic: Out of curiosity googled "why the US doesn't us the metric system" and it's just crazy the volume of senseless anti-American comments you receive when you try to look at anything like that, people are so ignorant.
I was just thinking about that yesterday... I wonder if Farenheit Air Conditioning systems cost more then the Celcius Air Conditioning systems.
I asked that cause of the Electronics and being able to measure the PRECISENESS of the Temp!
You know i couldn't really be fucked researching something like that... But it just got me thinking & am baffled that's what we waffling on in the Random Babble at the moment.
