Student strike - lockout and repression #8
Three ministers are now talking to the media (I'm watching RDI). Fournier just condemned Khadir for the statement he made, and even said that it shows the need for this law. What kind of nazis are these?
the law will come into effect shortly. The media asked, does that mean that the nightly march today will be illegal unless they give eight hours' notice to the cops? They were visibly sweating, but they said yes. We shall see how far these cowards will go.
Special Quebec Education Law Passes 68-48 (and vid)
"Student leaders call legislation 'declaration of war'.."
FECQ and FEUQ are about to speak to the media.
Lawyers working with the students will file a court action Tuesday to have the law annulled.
In reply to questions, both say they will counsel their members to respect the law, as they did with injunctions. But they emphasized they will work in unity with CLASSE, even if some positions may differ.
Now Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois is speaking - he says CLASSE will fight this law in the courts and in the streets, by expanding the mobilization manifold.
He says the law is functioning already, by preventing me from saying what I and my members think!
Jesus Christ it makes you sick.

Regardng the lawsuit, the www.loi78.com website still collects claimants names (you MUST be a Quebec citizen to be part of the lawsuit). If you want to help, there is also a Paypal button at the bottom of the page, so you can put some coin to help Juripop, the legal non-profit helping coordinating the lawsuit for FECQ.
Montréal police bosses are meeting now to try to figure out how the hell to apply this law, which just received royal assent moments ago.
Meanwhile, apparently police stations across the city are receiving all kinds of calls advising them of itineraries of demonstrations!!!
From the Chilean Winter to the Maple Spring - by Andrew Gavin Marshall
"...So from the Chilean Winter to the Maple Spring: Solidarity, Solidarite, Solidaridad!"
SORRY! Just got back! Biggest demo tonight in Montréal for quite a while - estimated at 10,000. It was entirely peaceful. Then at 21:54, cops declared it "illegal" - as usual, nothing new there. They claim there was one Molotov cocktail thrown. And there has been one (that's right, 1) arrest. And the "illegal" march carries on!!
And lots of masks, despite the municipal anti-mask bylaw adopted today. People say they don't give a damn about the law, they will carry on.
Demo in Québec tonight as well, haven't seen news.
Ce n'est qu'un début - continuous le combat!
ETA: CJAD report:
The nighttime protests have been going on every night for nearly a month.
But some participants said this was their first one.
Milly Pominville, a 20-year-old junior college student, acknowledged she was nervous attending the protest after the passage of the special law.
"I don't want anything bad to happen,'' she said.
"But I hate Jean Charest so much. He has to go.''
LOL - the cops have given up trying to enforce their own "illegal" declaration. This demo is now "illegal" in about 25 different ways. Here's a random tweet from a couple minutes ago:
La spvm viens juste de dire que la manifestation peut continuer si elle reste pacifique ..merci les oinks
Translation: "The Montréal police have just said that the demo can continue if it remains peaceful .. thank you, oinks!"
Marched for a little while in tonight's demo too. Huge crowd. 10 000 sounds entirely plausible to me—perhaps more at its peak. I decided to bail when teargas was used—nasty stuff. Things apparently got calmer after that, though.
The clear favorite of all the slogans: "La loi spé-ciale; on s'en câ-lisse!"
The fight continues.
Demo in Sherbrooke is apparently dispersing now after repeated charges by the riot squad, although it was reportedly peaceful. Does anyone have any more reliable info about what happened?
Good slogan, B. - is that what they call civil disobedience?
And can Amir Khadir be charged under Bill 78 for repeating what Gabriel N-D said (I quoted it earlier)?
GND's situation is an order to appear in court for a charge of contempt of court related to an injunction. Since the injunctions are now without force due to Bill 78, there can be no charge similar to the situation of GND.
Potential violations of Bill 78 (the now famous section 29) would be another story.
CUTV said a little while ago in their livestream that they've received information that an anonymous collective of student spokepersons have called for civil disobedience in relation to Bill 78.
No shit. It just underscores the massive overreach on the scope of this new legislation.
I may not agree with the students' complaint about paying just $3,800 a year for tuition, but I strongly support their right to protest and oppose the proposed tuition hike. I guess that's what happens when one has a "free speech fetish" (I don't just believe in speech that I agree with)...
ETA: Rabble has been a good source of info regarding this student action (there's virtually no mention of events in Montreal here).
Police use tear gas, smoke bombs on protestors after Molotov cocktails reportedly tossed
Appeals for calm from various student associations and political leaders following the passage of a controversial new law in Quebec appeared to be largely heeded as several thousand people protested peacefully in Montreal Friday night.
But about two hours into the event, a series of Molotov cocktails were reportedly thrown at officers by a handful of protesters, prompting the riot squad to deploy smoke bombs, percussion bombs and CS gas against the entire crowd. [...]
"I read the law, and it doesn't make sense," said high school student Laurence Simard, 16, before the march began. "The government is just closed off to the demands of students."
Her friend, Oliver Cohen, 15, said he wasn't too concerned about possible violence, but added that "people are angry. And they have the right to be angry."
Our youth! So proud.
And can Amir Khadir be charged under Bill 78 for repeating what Gabriel N-D said (I quoted it earlier)?
I don't believe so. Charging a (popular) sitting MNA would make him a martyr.
Even though a lot of Quebecers find him a bit over the top sometimes, a trial featuring Amir's "speak the truth to power" style would give him a lot of airtime.
Remember Mchel Chartrand?
Ha! Read on Facebook:
LOI SPÉCIALE: Ta Loi spéciale sert à RIEN Jean Charest. au moins 5000 personnes dans les rues à Montréal ce soir. Je fais un brin de jasette avec 8 policiers de l'anti-émeute, je leur demande: Comment allez-vous faire respecter la loi spéciale? Ils haussent les épaules, regardent vers le ciel et soupirent. L'un deux se risque à me dire que ce n'est pas applicable. Puis je leur demande: Il y a plus de 50 personnes ici, et vous n'avez pas le trajet n'est-ce pas? Le policier me répond: Tout ce que je vois, c'est 5000 groupes de 1 personne.
CHAREST: Même ta Police du SPVM n'en veut pas de ta Loi Spéciale. Dans ta face!
Xavier Dolan and cast wear red square at Cannes
"I am determined to show my true colours because I am afraid of what is happening to youth in Québec, goddamnit [câlisse], with this authoritarian regime. The conflict has expanded to unbelievable proportions. It's not the Québec I knew. I am torn between the première of my film and the fate of my generation," Dolan lamented to journalists earlier today. [...]In April, when interviewed on TVA morning news about Laurence Anyways being selected off competition at the prestigious festival, Dolan took the anchors off-guard by starting with a shout-out to Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, the co-spokesman for the Coalition pour un Solidarité Syndicale étudiante (La CLASSE). "I would like to say first and foremost that Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois is doing an amazing job; he's very articulate and he has impressed me a lot; but also I find, and this is entirely unimportant, that he's very sexy," the out gay director chimed.
The telephone survey was conducted from May 10 to 14 with 1,014 Canadians. For the whole country, the margin of error is + / - 3.1% 19 times out of 20. The margin of error increases for Quebec. It is + / - 6.2%, due to the small sample of 248 respondents.The survey was commissioned by the Canadian Federation of Students.
I think that the Quebec wing of the Liebranos would rather go with this other wonky internet survey that says an overwhelming majority of Quebecers(far more than voted for the Liebranos) support the Liebranos plan to raise fees.
In addition, 66 per cent said they were in favour of the government's emergency legislation, with 34 per cent opposed.The Internet panel of 800 Quebecers did not have a random character, so a margin of error wasn't provided.

I'm not surprised The Star quotes this dubious survey conducted BEFORE the tabling of Bill 78. The coverage granted to that CROP poll in La Presse and the screaming headline is nothing short of journalistic malpractice and will go straight to the Press Council. Right-wing federalists are running scared.
Actually, Vision Montréal voted against the by-law in the end, as did Projet Montréal. But neither of the opposition parties can be said to truly have demonstrated any sort of political courage lately with respect to protecting fundamental freedoms. For instance, before announcing its opposition to the city by-law, Projet had put out a really bad press release, essentially castigating protesters for the "violence" in the streets of Montreal, thus troubling Richard Bergeron's quietude (he made express mention of the fact that he lived downtown...), and not saying a word about police repression.
Ouch - thanks for the correction, Bärlüer. As I said before, things are moving too fast for me. All I remembered is that Harel really, in essence, supported this crap - but then decided at the last minute that she could vote against because the feds and provincial governments were doing a good enough job in repression:
« On peut bien adopter tous les règlements municipaux et les empiler les uns sur les autres, mais il restera toujours la même réalité, que ce sont les dispositions des lois, soit à l'Assemblée nationale ou à la Chambre des communes, qui auront priorité », a affirmé la chef de l'opposition, Louise Harel, qui entendait initialement appuyer le projet de loi. Elle a expliqué sa volte-face par le « grand flou » de ce règlement.
I guess my real point is that notwithstanding any appearances, I don't see Bill 78 as an attack by federalists on sovereignists. It is a question of the democratic rights of the people against the elite - the 99% vs. the 1% if you like - a class question.
I'm very happy that the PQ is on board, for the moment, but I'm certain it's as much a crass political calculation as Charest and Legault were engaged in.
This editorial is signed by five Le Devoir staff, including the Director and the Editor-in-Chief:
Exceptional measures shouldn't be considered as departures from the normal routine of society, but instead as the normal routine held in abeyance while the population remains pacified. The nonsense we keep hearing about freedom, democracy and rights is revealed as such whenever temporary suspensions of exceptional rule are lifted to reveal the state's final word when people refuse to obey authority.

Police are seeking the public's help in finding three teenagers sought in an apparent gang-related fatal shooting on Halloween night in San Pedro.
Carl Valverde, 19, of San Pedro was shot in the head as he was walking with friends at around 9:40 p.m. Oct. 31 at 13th Street and Grand Avenue.
"The victim was walking with a couple friends when three male black suspects, between 16-19 years old, approached (from behind) and (one of them) pulled out a gun and shot him in the head," said Los Angeles police Officer S. Coffee. "The suspects ran off and it's still an open case."
Valverde managed to "stumble eastbound toward Centre" Street with his friends before he collapsed and died, Coffee said.
All of the suspects were described as around 5 feet 9 inches tall.
"It doesn't look like there was any confrontation," Coffee said. Valverde was shot with a pistol in the side of the head as he turned to face his assailants.
Police believe the suspects had gang affiliations.
There were a number of people on the street in the residential neighborhood at the time, Coffee said, and it is believed
"We know there were quite a few people out there trick-or-treating," Coffee said.
Anyone with information is asked to call LAPD's Harbor Division homicide detectives at 310-726-7880.

Michigan's gun laws aren't bad, but we must remain vigilant and keep up grass roots efforts, or we are doomed to failure in this regard. Most high-ranking LE are anti-gun here, making it best to have a pro-gun AG, which we now have. Governor has been warned, as his tendencies are spotty at best.

I was born in Chicago and lived their for twenty years. The City really once was great. I've been in the far suburbs for more than twenty years now, and wonder where I'll wind up. I have two daughters my wife and I are close with, both of whom are in their late teens. I have a close family and wonder if we'll leave or not. We have lots of family in SE Wisconsin so, Madison and Milwaukee libs aside, I could see myself there.

I am a North Carolina native, I was born in Raleigh and I have lived in Wake
County most of my life. I grew up on a small farm in Wake County when it was much smaller in population, everyone around you spoke with a Southern accent and you actually knew all of your neighbors. Wake County is now congested, traffic is bad and getting worse everyday, and you have to do a lot of searching to hear anyone that speaks with that melodic Southern drawl I used to hear when I was younger. If it wasn't for my job I would have moved years ago to somewhere like Wilson County where my father grew up and you can still find areas without bumper to bumper traffic and cookie cutter subdivisions. I have nothing against the transplants that move here as long as they leave their liberal politics behind but I miss the freedom to move around without being elbow to elbow with someone and the natural beauty that I used to enjoy. The cost of living is still reasonable but it is getting higher as my home county grows and things are only going to get worse. I'm going to eventually pull up stakes and let the newcomers have the mess they are creating. I'll probably stay in North Carolina and move towards the Eastern part of my native state. (not the coast however, the transplants are moving there in droves too) |

I live in Utah because it is home with family and a long career. I hated Illinois 40 years ago, no mountains. I hated Denver, too violent. I hated California, too insanely restrictive.
Nearing retirement, I've thought of moving to a better winter clime, but I'm not hearing 'the call'. We shall see.

Born and raise a liberty-loving Californian, even if that does sound a bit odd. I've split time between my second home of Illinois, due to work. I love California for many reasons including its opportunities when it comes to business, but can't stand it due to its heavy hand of regulatory nonsense on guns and beyond. The same thing applies to IL. Chicago is a beautiful city and an American and global landmark, plus rural IL is also gorgeous. It has grown on me. Still, both states are full of anti-freedom politicians. Nonetheless, I feel that if I leave and give up the fight, others will be weakened who stay. I say stand your ground and fight back! We can't all retreat to Texas and Kentucky, as wonderful as those states are!

NH, because it's the only state in the country that actually CUT its state budget 12% last year. It also added school choice and has excellent gun laws.
And they'll stay that way, because enough people in NH actually show up and "do" politics, instead of watching TV. |

Hi I live in Germany right now because the military told me to! Trust me, it's nice here, but boy it is absolutely devoid of anything remotely related to firearms that civilians can take part in. The H&K factory is only an hour or so away, they don't give tours or anything from what I know.
I'm due to go back to the states in a few months, can't say I'm going to complain about that. |

Touchdown on Mars Date: 20 Jul 1976
The image above is the first photograph ever taken from the surface of Mars. It was taken by the Viking 1 lander shortly after it touched down on Mars on 20 July 1976. Part of footpad #2 can be seen in the lower right corner, with sand and dust in the center of it, probably deposited during landing. The primary objectives of the Viking missions, each of which was composed of two spacecraft, were to obtain high-resolution images of the Martian surface, characterize the structure and composition of the atmosphere and surface, and search for evidence of life on Mars.

New Tone
Nightmare on Tea Street 3
Freddie Wants a Tax Cut
It was in the wake of the Gabrielle Giffords attack that a "new tone" was called for by the Left and their echo chamber of the main stream media. Giffords, a Democratic representative from Arizona, was at a supermarket meeting constituents, when Jared Loughner opened fire, killing six and critically wounding the congresswoman.
The Left was quick top jump on the tragedy for political fodder by labeling Loughner a "rightwing extremist." After all, he had a copy of Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf in his personal library. Never mind that he also had The Communist Manifesto, Animal Farm, Plato's Republic and other books across the political spectrum. Not to mention, he was a long time abuser of alcohol, marijuana, LSD, the hallucinogenic salvia and was diagnosed as a schizophrenic. All of that was irrelevant because it was beneficial for the Left that the narrative be that Loughner was driven to act by his right wing political beliefs. In memoriam of the Oklahoma City bombings that were blamed on Rush Limbaugh, the Left point accusatory fingers at Fox News, Sarah Palin and, again Rush Limbaugh and talk radio.

Caruso ProTraveler 14 Molecular Steam Hairsetter
SusanSan AntonioHair Won't Hold Curl?? This Is The Answer!I have thick, course hair that wont hold curl and my friend has fine, thin hair with no body. These rollers work great on both!! Ive been using this product for about 15 years and every one I recommend try it, loves it! Dont get frustrated...it takes a few times to get a feel for how to use it (be sure and tap all the water out of the roller cover), but once you figure out what works best for your hair, you wont know how you lived without it!posted Mar 10, 2005Link to this post
Patricia CookeGulfport , MississippiLove ItIve had my caruso curler set for years and I love it. I curl my friends hair for her son wedding and everybody asked her where did she get her curlie hair from in just an hour. They thought that she had a perm put in her hair and when she told them she just had caruso curler in her hair for 5 minutes and her hair can out just like she wanted. Now she wants to buy one for her self. She said its was a god set to all women and its easy to use and most of all it doesnt dry out your hair like hot curlers does. My friend was surprised that I didnt put any kind of mouse or jell in her hair when I curled her hair. I just curled her hair and waited 5 minutes and took them out and ran my finger through her hair and said she just wanted to leave it just like that . So I put a little hair spray in her hair. She was suprised that her curles stayed for two day. Now she wants a set of her own. So shell be ordering a set of her own soon. She said she was going to tell everyone she knows about your curlers.posted Mar 3, 2005Link to this post

CkmTucson, ArizonaFrustratedIf its a new Caruso unit, then Id give it a rating of 5 stars. But Im finding that the units just dont last. The last time I bought the units, I discovered a replacement form that included the steamer on the list. However, when I called the contact on the form (Helen of Troy), they said that they no longer sell the steamers. When I asked about options, they said to go ahead and buy another complete set. I have more curlers than I know what to do with!posted Jan 27, 2005Link to this post

ChalkbrdIndianaI Never Want To Use Anything Else!Ive been using a Caruso steam setter for almost 15 years now. I never, ever, ever want to use anything else! My old one stopped steaming -- I started scheming. My straight hair desperately needed something! I tried to find one around here and couldnt so I went online as fast as I could to get one. In the meantime, I purchased one of those hot roller things, spent 15 minutes waiting for it to heat up, and then had to leave the rollers in my hair for 15 to 20 minutes to cool. Then, I went outside and within an hour, my hair was straight! The Caruso starts steaming quickly and about the time I get my hair rolled, I can start taking them out. And these curls last ALL DAY. Nothing else every worked for my straight, straight hair. I hope they never stop making these!posted Jan 23, 2005Link to this post

Jojo RochesterFoam ReplacementMy particular rollers didnt come apart so I couldnt replace with the sponge rollers. You can buy foam pad by the foot at the fabric store and replace old foam on rollers. You can get it the thickness you need and cut it to the exact size of roller.Also the foam is more durable Cut it to fit roller and hand stitch it down the side. Cant live without my Caruso. So glad they are making them again. My steamer last 6 months to a year.If I use distilled water, they last longer. When they werent available in stores, I resorted to Ebay but hate the thought of Used hair products. Scared of lice and such. So glad I can come to this website and know I can get a New one. Thanks.posted Jan 4, 2005Link to this post

If you have a hard drive larger than 8 GB, you should partition is so that the first partition is under 8 GB in size (for simplicity, we suggest 7 GB). Failure to do this could eventually result in an unbootable computer, as all System files must be within the first 8 GB of drive space. These Macs can work successfully with larger drives for some time, but once a System files goes outside of the first 8 GB of space, you'll have nothing but problems.
I went back, partitioned my boot disk with a 1GB partition for MacOS 9 and then reinstalled everything using the same install disks.
This time, no question mark!
It started booting into OS9, and then crashed halfway through.
So, one issue resolved. Now to try the other install disk options I have available.

This casserole also tastes great when prepared with cooked ground beef instead of the chicken.
Fruit kabobs make a fun accompaniment; thread grapes with chunks of pineapple and banana on 6-inch wooden skewers.

In 2013, Audi of America reached the pinnacle of performance with the launch of our expanded portfolio of breathtaking
S Models.
As 2013 gets underway, we enter the Audi quattro Cup season inspired by yet another thrilling brand story: The unveiling of the A8, A7, A6 and Q5 TDI clean diesel models.
Driven by the innovation that defines TDI clean diesel technology, we welcome you to a reimagined online portal designed to streamline the registration and planning processes for host dealers and participants. From its competitive advantage over other engine technologies to its astonishingly powerful performance on the road, TDI clean diesel inspired Audi Tournament Headquarters to maximize its own efficiencies through this improved site — and push its 2013 goal to an unprecedented 90 local competitions.
As if these premium Audi experiences weren't enough of an enticement to participate, we've also upped the ante this year with a return of the U.S. Final to The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island in South Carolina. There, finalists will compete for two consecutive days against the stunning backdrop of an Atlantic paradise on the links at Turtle Point and, of course, The Ocean — a course consistently ranked as the toughest in the nation and the site of the 2012 PGA Championship.
Scheduled for August 22–25, 2013, the experience will be the culmination of a tournament season fueled by a passion for the four rings and the amateur golf experience.

So in my life lately, soccer season has begun. Bring on all the snotty nose kids and balls coming at me while I stand and pathetic try to block their shots. For the record, they're pretty good at getting a goal on me. Especially when there's 4 or more of them all shooting at once. If I ever hear one remark from any of the parents about what a shitty coach (or assistant rather) I am..I'd tell them to shove a soccer ball up their ass because I didn't see them stepping up to volunteer. Speaking more on soccer. We have 9? Yeah I believe 9 kids on our team..we've only had 2 days so far so forgive me for not knowing. 9 kids to play 4 on 4 games for a couple of minutes at a time, can get pretty confusing pretty quick when your only subing 1 in at a time because they need to go suck on moms tit. One mom expressed her pissed offness to me last night. Which in all honestly I think is fair. I mean when you only get the same few kids going on I can see why. I also don't agree with having a child on the team that's the son or daughter of the coach…atleast not when its clear they are getting special treatment… This was the other concern of the said Mom. "Seems funny she said". Yeah, actually that is funny. Your kid gets put on and taken off like everybody else. Not when they feel like. At least those are the rules I bet the other teams are playing with. And if we were playing with any other rules, Dude would have it so he was on the entire time. And he's not. Why? Because it's not fair! Open up your eyes Parent-Coach. Oh well. Like I said, it was only day 2 yesterday. We only have 7 1/2 weeks left. It should get better. Right? RIGHT?!?!
The other topic of discussion lately is all about camping season. Spring is here and Maylong weekend is fast approaching. We wont be heading out this year. At least we don't plan to. It's crazy busy and you have to find a spot on the Thursday prior to get a good camping spot. Damn you Maylongers who camp once a year and that's when. I'm not really bothered by it actually. Ginger is supposed to not work weekends, so if it goes back to that this summer, we could go any weekend. That's the beauty of me not working outside of the home. Ginger's schedule is the only one we need to work around. Also on another note. Don't those Maylongers know theres a long weekend every month? Maybe they don't because we don't call it June long..we do have an August long I do believe though..pretty sure that's not its technical term…but I have heard it used.
However the fact that it will be crazy busy Maylong weekend is not the only reason we don't plan on going this year. We have yet to buy a trailer. It's hard when you have certain criteria you're trying to meet when purchasing one. You have to look at if you'll just be using this year and buying another next, or if your buying from a dealership or off Kijiji. Plus when you have a family, bunks are nice to have. And a slide really opens it up…and then we can throw in there I prefer hardwalls…oh and it can't be too old. This is a big deciding factor for me. We've had older campers in the past and don't get me wrong they do the trick. But for once, I'd like one that I can use everything because it all works, we dont have to fix or repair anything, and I don't have to fabreeze every 5 minutes because it has that old camper smell that just doesn't go away.
Picky Picky. I know. But if your spending a pretty penny on something, you better be happy with it.
So we've narrowed it down to this. We will not be buying from a dealership, financing is not an option for us. We hate debt. It stresses me right the fk out. Right now we have a mortgage and a truck payment. Everything else is bought outright, and that's the way we like it. We also hate the idea of paying mostly interest fees when you finance. What a joke. And what they have at dealerships that fits our criteria..is so old and way marked up. So that limits our search A LOT. This leaves us trying to find what were looking for, in the hands of the sellers. literally. Looking this morning, I believe I may have found 3 that could work for us. 1 fits all my criteria. I found a not old trailer, it's got bunks, queen bed, hardwall, and slide. The crappy end of the stick is it's a rear bed slide. We like the couch slide for obvious reasons. The other 2 don't have slides, they're smaller, and around the same year as the one I mentioned. Which is okay. We'll settle for no slide. We've decided that this will be a this summer camper only, and a slide is no biggy. I'm happy. Not because we're getting a camper. That was enevitable..we just didn't know when. Nope that's not why. Why is because Ginger and I disagree way too much about what to buy when it comes to campers. We didn't argue this much when deciding what home to buy. I had come to the decision that if we couldn't stop bickering about it, then him and Dude would go camping in whatever they wanted this year, and me, well I'd go to Vegas. I mean why not for the weekend? It's probably cheaper than camping anyways. My argument "If we want to go places we only have until November."
November is when the little munchkin will be here..and then you know what that means. We we never be kidless for the following approximately 12 following months.
We announced the little munchkin finally. Sent out wedding postponing postcards last week, that say were postponing because there's been a bump in the runway. Its cute.. my awesome girl here in town at a local print shop made them for me. She's so awesome. She went a little artsy on me, and designed an airplane on a runways going on a brides baby bump. I've already had 4 people tell me how awesome they are. Ginger even liked them when he seen them, and that's always a good sign!
Well now that I've got you all caught up on my life, its time for me to get off the laptop and go live it some more. It's spa day today, and time to get my piggys all prettied up!

The initial reactions to the original Wii were extremely favorable..and then they did absolutely nothing significant with the hardware for several years and closed the doors for good. Third party developers never figured it out, most people played it for a month or two only for it to spend most of its life collecting dust, the most exciting titles were available at launch, and overall, outside of the massive hardware sales, it was a failure in terms of generating license revenue or else third party developers would have flocked to it.
Now we have a system that doesn't have any significant launch titles, is even more complicated for developing games, is fatally flawed by a controller with a short battery life, and a host of other flaws.
I was told that the best was still to come with the original Wii, but it never arrived. This feels like more of the same. Underpowered, underdeveloped, poorly implemented, and a hack job of a release.
No thanks! Release some games that would make this system more along the lines of something I would want to own and less of a Nintendo-only arcade that only drops one decent title a year and maybe I'll buy in..
@362doc What utter rubbish you talk - no good titles released for wii after launch? wtf? Wii titles such as No More Heroes, Sin and Punishment 2, Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, Muramasa Demon Sword. Sonic Colours etc. were all released well after System Launch - you muppet

Title: Annie's Ghosts, A Journey into a Family Secret
Author: Steve Luxenberg
Publisher: Hyperion Books, an imprint of HarperCollins
As any psychologist can tell you – no two people who see an event come away with the very same experience. Criminologists and detectives who question people who may have witnessed a crime experience the fact that several different people will report various versions of the event.
Historians who write about people and events have to weigh all of the evidence and make decisions about which facts to include and which to exclude. Ancient history, filtered through the prism of time and dozens or even hundreds of different historian reporters, may be somewhat easier to write about than more current history, which may be missing some pieces of the puzzle that haven't been as yet uncovered.
It is not my place to provide accolades for Steve Luxenberg's 400-page book. The 18, including five on the back cover of this paperbound book (including Bob Woodward, Walter Isaacson, Helen Epstein, and Deborah Tannen) salute the 12 years of research that went into his investigation and discovery of his mother's secret: that there was an aunt of whom neither he nor most family and friends were aware.
Many members of our community have an avocation of producing their own family trees. Some work at this task simply as a curiosity; others for the potential genetic information that such an endeavor produces. Others, like Steve Luxenberg, work at discovering hidden family members with a passion, such as contained in this very absorbing and entertaining book.
Annie's Ghosts is not merely Luxenberg's journey into a portion of his own family history – it may also serve as a template; a textbook case; of how any person who may also be so driven to unearth family secrets of their own families; or of others, can be brought up to the surface for clearer inspection and interpretation. Those are the key words, because simply having some facts at hand doesn't necessarily make for a coherent story – one must use the scientific method of making theories and then building upon them, layer upon layer, as in any other science.
Steve Luxenberg, who is a 25-year journalist at The Washington Post, proves to be enough of a good reporter who was able to peer objectively at his own family history. A very good read.

Nearly half a million of them fought in Red Army uniforms, under communist slogans but with a personal vengeance that was solely the result of Jewish experience. More than the "Greatest Generation," they were the living superheroes hidden in plain sight.
It's all over.
The orchestra is still, the lights are dimmed. Your simcha outfits hang in your closet, silent witnesses to a time you will treasure in your mind and heart forever.
Scene One:
After noticing that you can't log into your computer, your pulse quickens as you are called into your supervisor's office. S/he has some bad news. You are being laid off. You have 15 minutes to clean out your desk and surrender your cell phone before security escorts you out of the building. Job termination, especially in the corporate world, can be heartless.
I have always had a problem with the Omer. Doing the mitzvah of counting the Omer was of course pretty easy. Remembering to start the second evening of Passover and remembering to stop the day before Shavous took a little concentration but somehow I always managed. No, for me the nagging problem was always why was I doing this in the first place, other than the fact it was a biblical (according to the Rambam) commandment.
With the semi-mourning period of Sefira behind us, and the festival of Shavuot as well (as evidenced by the tightness of our clothing due to over-indulging in irresistible versions of cheesecake that is an integral component of celebrating our receipt of the Torah), our community can look forward to participating in joyous engagement parties and weddings.
Dear Dr. Yael:
Do you really believe that the Internet is the reason why the divorce rate is so high among young couples? This may be so in some cases, but what about the fact that many singles are pressured to get married at a young age despite not having any idea what they are looking for in a mate? And add to that the fact that many are pressured to make a decision about marriage after dating for a very short period of time.
From the moment they stand under the chuppah, newlyweds have two years to enjoy the special bliss that new love brings. This new finding, reported by the New York Times, is based on a study undertaken by American and European researchers. 1,761 people who got married and stayed married over 15 years were followed. The research shows that after two years the couples moved into a more companionable state in their relationships.
Shel Silverstein's 1974 poem "Where The Sidewalk Ends" is intended to paint a magical picture of a world of peace and serenity far away from the "black and dark streets." At the time, perhaps the end of the sidewalk was a place that was "measured and slow." Today, however, for many parents, where the sidewalk ends can feel like a scary place.

Florida is famous for sparkling water. We have the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico surrounding our coast. We have bays, lakes, canals and, of course, an incredible abundance of swimming pools in homes, resorts, apartment complexes and city parks.

Leah Katz, a TeenZone camper at Oorah's TheZone summer camp and an 11th grader at Midwood High School, read her winning essay about how TheZone changed her views on Judaism at the Jewish Heritage Awards Ceremony held at Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes's office in April. The purpose of the Jewish Heritage Essay Contest is to acquaint public school students with Jewish history and customs and to help foster a deeper understanding of Jewish culture. The contest is open to students of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Leah's essay is reproduced in full below.
Moshe Sharett, the head of the Jewish Agency's Political Department, visited Egypt in 1945. In Cairo he met a most remarkable young woman, a beautiful journalist who was the darling of Egyptian high society – from high-ranking military brass, to culture icons and Muslim sheikhs, to the court of King Faruk.
The two proceeded to talk about everyday things and surprisingly her mother-in-law did not find anything else to criticize. This occurred a few more times, with my client changing the topic every time by complimenting her mother-in-law or mentioning something positive about her.
There are three kinds of travelers: there are tourists, there are businesspeople, and then there are historians like Ben G. Frank.
The last kind doesn't simply go from here to there. They try to relive history and find the real meaning behind what they experience.
Behind "the news" there's almost always a story that isn't being reported, and certain kinds of phenomenon occur almost simultaneously all over the world in almost every era.
Whether this is a memoir or autobiography or whether this book was written as an article of regional diplomacy, King Abdullah does come across in this book as a quite sincere person making a valiant effort at regional diplomacy, who is trying to quell terrorism in the Mideast and raise the social and economic levels of his countrymen.

I've always been amazed at how historians pore over some old documents and books in some dusty basement storehouses, and yet are able to come up with a volume that's readable and enlightening – and even entertaining. Unfortunately, most of them aren't, but this is surely an exception.
When we first received Rabbi Weinstein's new tome, following the great success of his first book, Up, Up and Oy Vey, we expected a collection of guf-faws and chortles.

Miriam Meets...
Miriam O'Callaghan interview Eilis O'Carroll and her partner Marian O'Sullivan.
Both women explain to Miriam how they met at a lesbian support group in Cork. Eilis had just returned from England and was looking for friendship, Marian had just been made redundant and at forty nine years old was trying to figure out what she wanted from the rest of her life.
They explain to Miriam their different experiences of realising that they were lesbian and their experiences of coming out. Eilis was married with two sons and living in England when she fell in love with a woman and her marriage fell apart. Marian always realised that she was different but it was only after the death of her parents that she began to live as a lesbian.
Both women now work together. Eilis has become an actress after a lifetime working as a brewery rep. She plays the role of Winnie in Mrs Brown's Boys, starring her brother Brendan O'Carroll. Marian spent most of her career working in an accounts department before being made redundant. She is now a stage manager with the Mrs Brown's Boys touring shows. More recently, Eilis has starred in her own critically acclaimed one-woman show Live, Love, Laugh.
They chose Mika Grace Kelly; Imelda May Kentish Town Waltz; Marian Anderson Softly Awakes My Heart and Mungo Jerry In the Summertime

Cocktail delivers exactly what it promises. It's a standard romantic comedy. There are times when it becomes a bad one, but it mostly remains a good one (sometimes becoming a very good one). A film like Cocktail is what I call, a hype/expectation film. The vehement marketing makes everyone expect the treasure chest to burst open and make all of us rich with the greatest film ever made. Inevitably, the swords are drawn out and the entire nation plays the critic. Bad word of mouth is bound to be generated, whatever the box office result or the actual film may be. Cocktail is not the best romantic comedy but it's an unconventional one, and largely a successful one.
We are introduced to Gautam (Saif) and Meera (Diana). Then starts a fun credit sequence with Angreji Beat blaring on the soundtrack. Veronica (Deepika) and Meera move in together and soon become best friends. Gautam and Veronica begin a relationship, which is centered on casual sex. Gautams mother shows up at the flat, which makes up for a hilarious scene. Soon, Meera is put forth as his girlfriend to stall Mummy Ji. The parts after this are smooth sailing with some great laughs (Mummy ji says menopause casually and later performs CPR). But lo and behold! Meera and Gautam end up falling in movie love! I mean, true love.
Cocktail has a few minuses. We never see the characters at their workplace much. I don't remember seeing Gautams house. Gautam is the flirt, Meera is the good Indian girl, Veronica is the modern NRI girl. You dont have to be Einstein to know these are blatant stereotypes. At some point I even felt how regressive it was for the characters to think being Indian is being wife material. In turn, being wife material is knowing how to cook, wear Indian clothing and pray to a Hindu idol. And boys, after you find true love, you automatically stop screwing around. Then there is the most obnoxious one: The good old plot device, when you don't know where the story is going, trying killing a character!
Albeit, Cocktail works. The characters learn how to strike a balance. They learn how to not cry over spilled milk and make amends. Nobody acts the saint, they even tell each other they aren't. They learn how to blend in with each other, like a Cocktail mixes different forms of alcohol. The film becomes a very good one due to its honest dialogues. For every predictable dramatic scenario, there are conversations and situations, which reveal unexpected novelty. There are awkward moments that dont seem like usual Bollywood material. The silences are used to brilliant effect. The songs are appropriately used. From the borrowed songs like Angreji Beat and Jugni, to the original ones: Tumhi Ho Bandhu and Yaariyaan.
The prime reason why the film works is Veronica, who is surprisingly human. She tries to act chilled out, fails, becomes a bitch and in time, realizes her mistake. She is the only one with a character arc and her actions are perfectly plausible. Deepika Padukone has been seen in Love Aaj Kal and Break Ke Baad doing her funny drunk-girl routine. Although, this time the drunk words become sober thoughts. She is not happy-high this time. The club scene where she has brief moments of feeling alone is remarkable. Deepika could have easily done the role of Diana Penty, the heroine who ends up with the hero. But she didn't. In fact, I'm glad she didn't.
Mind you, I thoroughly enjoyed films like Jab We Met, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Love Aaj Kal, Wake Up Sid, Band Baaja Baarat, I Hate Luv Storys, Break Ke Baad and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. Some films are better than the others but the relationships these films deal with are decidedly urban. The problems of these characters may be juvenile but they are more true to life than a Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. This is the kind of mess the younguns get into. I genuinely also believe Bollywood has been making better romantic comedies than Hollywood has in the past few years. For example, Something Borrowed (2011) - this film has a plot which matches Cocktail's almost exactly but it is not the better film. I count myself as the target audience for a film like Cocktail and I did not come out thinking I saw a bad film. Didn't care much for Meera and Gautam's romance but cared for Veronica.
I don't associate the word masterpiece with the genre of romantic comedy anyway. It will never offer great films and never has. Cocktail is like a fun night. If you drink responsibly, you can have fun and not have a hangover tthe next day. Nobody wants to puke but everybody wants to drink like a fish. Thats where the expectation film suffers. This film isnt the most fun you will ever have, but its a regular fun. Im okay with that. I dont expect every party to be the greatest party in history. Glass half full or half empty, you decide.

HDNet Fights Video Vault: Pete Spratt and Antonio Flores at Legacy Fighting 7
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Sep 13, 2011 at 3:00 pm ET
The nationally televised event featured a handful of notables, but few fights made an impact like welterweights Pete Spratt and Antonio Flores did.
In this week's installment of HDNet Fights Video Vault, we present the full fight video.
Each week HDNet and MMAjunkie.com release a new and exclusive fight from the ever-growing HDNet Fights video library. Stunning knockouts, slick submissions, shocking finishes and legendary brawls are the norm for this weekly feature.
Spratt vs. Flores is no exception.
Spratt (22-20 at the time) looked to rebound from a close MFC 30 loss to fellow UFC vet Marcus Davis. Fighting for the fourth straight time on HDNet, Spratt had taken on big names with mixed results. At 40 years old, the 12-year pro had an opportunity to defeat a fellow Texan in Flores (5-3), a fellow striker who was looking for his fourth win in five fights.
Would Spratt pick up his second victory since turning 40, or would Flores notch the biggest win of his six-year pro career?
Check out the embedded clip for the answer.
Additionally, be sure to catch HDNet's live presentation of Legacy Fighting Championships 8 this Friday at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT). Featured bouts include Spratt vs. Jorge Patino and Eric Schambari vs. Andrew Craig.
Each week MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) and HDNet Fights (www.hdnetfights.com) team up for "HDNet Fights Vault," which offer a new and unique video from the organization's ever-growing fight library. The weekly feature is a continuation of a long-standing partnership between MMAjunkie.com and HDNet. For more information on HDNet, which broadcasts more MMA events than any other TV

6. | Crossroads | ||
Crossroads is a neighborhood in Bellevue, known as the "ghetto of Bellevue". Its far from ghetto tho, but since it has the most diversity, its what ppl call it. Crossroads is full of Indians and Mexicans, and of course, whites. The Indians are hard working people, who work for microsoft, and not to be offensive, make the 230 and 245 bus routes smell like BO and Indian food. Its all good tho cause they get there money. The older mexicans work hard, while the younger ones think they are gangsters. Go the the Crossroads community center, and you will see about 15 mexicans in a group any day any time hanging blue flags pretending to be crips. Wannabe's. Dont even worry about them.
In your time spent in crossroads, you most likely will not see a black person. You may however see one or two mixed black/white kids. Crosssroads mall is how the neighborhood got its name. Every Wednesday, the mall get packed with students from Interlake High School cause they got out of school early on Wednesdays. In a normal city, this could mean trouble, but in Bellevue, its so weak that nothin happens. Not even the wannabe mexican cholos get into trouble. The police, for some odd reason are out to get you around here. They always gotta be harrassin niggas (by that i mean the 1 or 2 in the area). So overall, you have normal whites, wannabe cholos, and indians, packed into a small community labeled "Ghetto". Sad, huh? Guy 1: Ay nigga, lets go to crossroads right quick.
Guy 2: Naw dawg, i dont feel like dealin with those wannabe mexicans Guy 1: True, true, dem niggas always gotta be actin hard, knowin they aint doin shit. Guy 2: Yup, plus i dont wanna take that curry smellin bus anyway. Guy 1: Damn, i need to go back to Tacoma, this shit is weak. Guy 2: Most definetly. |

Oh J1O, I'm so sorry you're going through this experience. I have had so many friends, relatives, and co-workers come down with cancer in the past few years, but not much experience with people who have lung cancer. The two I knew who had it (my almost 80 year old aunt, and my boss' 70-something year old mother) discovered it when it was so far along that they didn't last very long. Gut-wrenching. As for what side effects are common, what to expect, I would imagine that the clinic or your FIL's doctor would have brochures (they may have also done some kind of consult before-hand explaining what to expect that you were not present for). Linda's link to the Cancer Care website (points above) and Sandwichmom's suggestion to contact your local American Cancer Society are good ones; there are probably other resources in your community, including volunteers who might be able to sit with him during the chemo or provide transportation if you're not feeling strong enough mentally to be there for him. I thought I'd heard that it takes 2-3 weeks after the first chemo treatment for hair loss to begin; I wouldn't be surprised, though, if this varied from person to person, as well as to the treatment and kind of cancer. Plus, there are now many anti-nausea drugs that can counteract that side-effect. So even though we're accustomed to thinking of chemo as very horrible, many are able to bear it without as much difficulty as was common in the past.

To everyone on this blog that has been touched by lung cancer... For any of you who are from, or will be in the New York area on November 2nd, there is going to be a free and open to the public symposium on lung cancer awareness and research at the Plaza Hotel. The symposium will host leading doctors in the field of oncology and should be an informative event for anyone that has questions and concerns about lung cancer...I wanted to reach out to this discussion board and share the details about this important day...I found the event at www.lungfund.org where the info. for the event is posted. The symposium will include a panel discussion followed by a public Q & A session. This event marks an important opportunity for those of us who continue to be effected by lung cancer. The more we know and learn about the disease, the greater the chances for prevention... |
