Game #106: Jays at Rays pregame
Where have you gone Jason Frasor?
Toronto (52-53) at Tampa Bay (40-65)
at 7:10 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field
Today's lineups:
Aaron Hill, 2B
Lyle Overbay, 1B
Alex Rios, RF
Troy Glaus, 3B
Vernon Wells, CF
Matt Stairs, LF
Gregg Zaun, C
Curtis Thigpen, DH
John McDonald, SS
PITCHING: RHP Jesse Litsch (3-4, 4.01 ERA)
Akinori Iwamura, 3B
Carl Crawford, LF
B.J. Upton, CF
Carlos Pena, 1B
Delmon Young, RF
Brendan Harris, 2B
Jonny Gomes, DH
Josh Paul, C
Ben Zobrist, SS
PITCHING: RHP Edwin Jackson (2-10, 7.00 ERA)
NOTES: With the way the Baseball Gods have been pouring rain on the state of Florida over the past few days, there's a chance RHP A.J. Burnett's rehab outing on Wednesday morning could be a wash. If that's the case, it's likely that Burnett will throw a simulated game under the lovely roof at the Trop prior to tomorrow's game. … Thigpen took on the role of "Little Hurt," filling in as Toronto's DH in order to give a day off to Frank Thomas. It's only the second game this season that the Big Hurt has sat when the DH is in use. … LF Reed Johnson was also given the day off. … Surprise! The Jays made no trades by the 4 p.m. ET deadline. That didn't stop one of the Jays to ring Glaus' cell phone when the TVs in the clubhouse playing Baseball Tonight had the countdown down to just one minute. The room was filled with plenty of laughs when Glaus realized he had been dooped by one of his teammates. … Litsch received a warm welcome from the sparse crowd inside the Trop. He's from nearby Pinellas Park and had plenty of family and friends in attendance. … Jays signed LHP Mark Redman to a Minor League contract and shipped him to Triple-A Syracuse. … The Jason Frasor watch continues. The invisible righty hasn't pitched since July 20 and he'll be the subject of the Jays notebook on the Web site today. So, stay tuned…

I read an article down here about Litsch. He told Carl Crawford that he would face him in the big leagues. I guess the kid had a crystal ball with him.
I know you Jays fans don't like Crawford ( from what he did last night ) If you were ever around him you would want him on your team. One of these guys that are extremely taleneted ( football scholarship to Nebraska–basketball scholarship to U.C.L.A.) but what a great kid from what I have witnessed. Is there a more athletic outfield than the Devil Rays? I don't think so. Any thoughts out there guys?
I would trade lind towers burnett thomas clayton chacin stairs and 4 prospects for crawford and a years supply of coors light.
Crawford is one my favorite players. I like the way he plays and his attitude is great as well. I am sure he is very frustrated playing in baseball **** ( I meant to write Tampa Bay ) lol. Imagine if he played in Boston or N.Y., Crawford would be a household name.
What would you think the rays would want from toronto for crawford.My opinion nobody maybe halliday.
Where in gods name do these #9 starters come up with #1 stuff against the jays if that idiot JP thinks this team is going to be better next year he is a blank ***** goof nutcase.
The Jays and Rays are not a match for Crawford. Crawford came up in late July of 2002, I think he'll be a free agent after 2008 or 2009. I'm not sure on that. Crawford, Upton and Young are guys you need to build around. Kazmir as well, Baldelli is expendable but he is A.J. Burnett, they get hurt when they wake up in the morning.
bosox, you ask if there is a more athletic outfield? well, maybe not, but I would strongly contest that the Jays have the best outfield fielding-wise. All three guys are quick with great arms, all of whom can play center field. Not to mention the man in the middle that already has three gold gloves with a fourth coming in a few months
also, what are the jays gonna do with redman? the rotation is gonna be overstocked as it is with both Burnett and Chacin coming back soon. all JP is doing here is taking away innings from some young guys down in Triple-A
ukgocats3.If the Jays worked on it those 3 outfielders could steal a lot of bases but the team managment thinks base stealing is a thing of the past they should look at the 90 plus against them,Plus we have a catcher that says it dosen't matter if they steal as long as the pitcher makes quality pitches,Why does he say that because he cant throw his granny out. WHAT happend to thigpen catching Zaun start to cry again remember they said 2 or 3 times a week.
The Rays also have 3 guys that could play c.f. Young has one of the strongest arms in baseball. Ichiro and Gurrero have better arms, other than that nobody. Wells is a great centerfielder and he will be winning gold gloves for years to come. The Rays are about 8 pitchers short of a staff. Wheeler, Reyes, Shields and Kazmir are keepers, Sonnestiene and other than that they have a bunch of Joe's and John's hanging around. Jackson has all the stuff but not too much after that. When things go bad for Jackson he gets down on himself real quick and then all of a sudden he has given up 7 runs in 5 innings.
i dont know bosox i think rios has proved his arm is up there with the ones you mentioned. i remember a game i went to in 2005 against the yankees he threw a runner out at home from the wall without a cutoff man– and came close to doing it on the fly. as for the rays pitching staff i couldnt agree more, other than possibly wheeler as a key component. he is sort of old hat. there are 75 other guys in this league just like him.
also do you disagree or agree that the jays have the best fielding outfield in baseball?
Rios has a strong arm but not in the category as Ichrio, Gurrero, Young and Jose Guillen would have to be on that list. Francoer of the Braves would be ahead of Rios. Best fielding o.f. I would lean the Jays way. Rays are up there, it is Upton's first year in c.f. and that kid is a star for sure. Young has a stronger arm than Rios, don't get me wrong Rios has a strong arm.
In the A.L. East I would say the following:
Drew ( best arm of a female )
cabrera really has a strong arm? i wasnt aware of that
i also might have rios ahead of abreu but im biased…
bosox I dont know maybe it's just me but I get the distinct impression that you dont like nancy drew.
I think with wells glove rios arm and johnsons hustle we have the best outfield.
I never liked the signing of Drew and anyone I knew didn't like it. That was a classic case of a g.m. ( Theo ) falling in love with a player. They bidded against themselves, that makes no sense to me at all. 70 million for 5 years, are you kidding me? Who would give that guy that kind of $$$$$? I could go on and on but why bother. Let me focus on the good with the Sox, they're winning despite nothing from Mrs. Nancy Drew. That is my rant for the night.
Jays have a very good o.f. for sure.
Cabrera does have a strong arm but I think he is a Yankeee hype machine though. Always hearing about all these young players with the Yankees but they always disappear after a while don't they? The ones they keep usually do well but the one's they trade falter. Homer Bush, who can forget him.
Homer was my man.
Anybody know how MARK REDMAN???? is doing tonight in Syracuse tonight I guess the Jays picked him up.
Any pitcher that pitched against Homer liked him as well. He was basically an automatic out.
Thats okay I liked his name the only problem was he only had about three homers.
Not a guy that was apptly named.
Hey bosox comeon tell me what the kids name is lol.
My new hero is Jessie Litsch, I might have walked by him and never knew who he was. The kid came back to Pinellas County and shut down the locals. Pinellas Park is also where Boof Bonser of the Twins was born. What is in the water there? Not the prettiest city in the world.
And your hero should be Jessie-how good was that start from a 22 year old kid.
lol great fielding by young tonight… thanks for that insurance run delmon
What amazes me about this kid is his poise. You'd think he's been a major league starter for years.
Not bad for the number 5 guy.
Did anyone say Towers? Gone when Burnett comes back
Hey Bosox
Congrats on getting gagne!
The Box Sox now have the very best bullpen in baseball-bare none.
Gagne is a nice pickup but the Sox offense has disappeared too many times this year. The front office needs to get another bat, they were after Dye but the Chi Sox were asking alot.
"I would trade lind, towers, burnett, thomas, clayton ,chacin, stairs and 4 prospects for crawford and a years supply of coors light."
**really-lol. Maybe you've been drinking too much Coors light dude. Crawford is OK-but I'd take either Rios or Wells any day-and you can keep your beer.
with that pitching, hitting doesn't matter -you guys are now favorites to win it all, in my mind.
Nice game from our guys tonight. Now we need to win again tommorrow.
That would get this road trip to .500 and we have 16 of the next 19 games at home to make hay with.
Cleveland lost again tonight, so we're now only 7 back in the wild card.
Go Jays!!!!!!
Beer aside, I'd definitely take Crawford over either Rios or Wells. In my opinion, he's up there with Jose Reyes as one of the most exciting players in baseball. Put him in the 3 hole and surround him with good, veteran players and he'd be up there in almost every offensive category. That and Crawford shows hustle almost every game and comes through in the clutch, unlike Rios who needs to step it up from being naturally good to a hard-working great (although he does seem to be improving) and Wells who folds in pressure situations (i.e. actually hitting with runners in scoring position).
And, yeah, what's with the Redman signing? He seems like another shot-in-the-dark like Ohka, Zambrano, and Thomson and we all know how those turned out….
And what's this I hear about Adam Lind getting another concussion? That's never good to hear….
I had to go out and get some peanuts so my wife could feed the squirrells true story so I missed all the action on the blog,
I'm watchen the SF-LAD game to see if big barry gets the big one.
I like how Jordan called thigpen the little hurt today too funny.
A concussion for Adam Lind not good.
Anyone know how Redman did tonight.
I don't know how Redman did, but i know he did much better then Josh Towers ever does. Hey, if were not gonna use Frasor, why not trade him to someone who needs a decent relief pitcher, who if like everyone. Throw Towers into the deal, im sure something could have gotten done before the end of the trade deadline.
The only problem with that is our GMs ego wont let him trade anyone he thinks he has built the dream team.
Honestly, does anyone think we could have upgraded through trades ? Frasor, Towers,Wolfe, Stairs ? All guys that could have gotten something decent. Stairs has more homers this year then Texeria, and he's playing for close to league min. The jays could have at least got something like a shortstop, or something ?
I'm with you on that a lot of the guys wanted to see something happen but our GM likes the team the way it is Towers has no value you cant get much for Stairs who wants Clayton they still think frasor has a future with them they are still high on wolfe.
How did you like Jessie tonight.
Scouts say that Crawford is the fastest in the game from home to first, just ahead of Reyes, Ichiro and Gaithwright. This just in Crawford or Rios, you can't go wrong either way. Those 2 are going to be around for a long time. fun players to watch, there front office's better wake up and get some talent around those guys.
The Jays are still alive for the wild card. The Indians I am not sold on them at all. They have 2 very good starters ( Sabathia & Carmona ) after that the bullpen gets used alot and I think that will catch up to them.
well its official. The double A pitcher has the lowest ERA in the starting rotation. My guess is if Towers loses it tonight Listch is staying here and Dejong will be sent back with Towers replacing him in the bullpen. One might also wonder. I know Johnston is a great lead off guy. But I cant help but notice just how well Vernon does there. Lets try it out again. What good is Johnston getting on if Vernon cant swing him home. Plus Johnston can still be valuable in the line up no matter were he hits especially in key situations that require a bunt which would have won so many of these one run games they have had.
JordanJonathan: I could be wrong, but I think DeJong was sent down a while back. But you raise a good question: with Burnett coming back and Litsch pitching well, who gets sent down? Maybe Wolfe? The never-used Jason Frasor? Accardo and Jannsen seem pretty overworked, though, so I don't think it makes a lot of sense to lose another arm in the bullpen.
With Towers' inflated salary, maybe it's got be Litsch no matter how well he pitches?
And after looking at the Jays' AAA starting pitching staff, I'm starting to understand the Redman signing a bit better. Aside from MAYBE (and I stress the maybe) Josh Banks, the cupboard is bare in Syracuse as far as starting pitchers go. A lot of those guys have really struggled, so I guess Redman is a bit of insurance in case the Jays get hit by more injuries. Or maybe JP has some Towers' trade simmering on the back burner?
But then the question remains, if the Jays are looking for retread veterans who can act as insurance, why did they drop Zambrano/Thomson and replace them with Redman? All those guys seem pretty interchangeable if you ask me…..
Litsche was promoted to AAA, when we sent him back down last time. He pitched well there with an era of 1.80. De Jong was sent back to AAA when Jessie was recalled.
Clearly, Jessie is the option for 2008; but if they want to keep Towers for the balance of the year, then I think they'll likely send Jessie back down-although he's the better pitcher.
I think they signed Redman because he's a veteran left hander, who might be a better option than Tallet, or extra insurance, if we get seriously into the race. It could also mean they intend to put Towers out on waivers, when Burnett comes back.
Redman went 4 innings last night at Syracuse and gave up 1 run.
I read in some of the posts that Lind got a concussion. Does anyone have any idea if this is true and what happened?
gsumner: I agree that Litsch is the odd man out unless something happens to Towers. But I'm pretty sure Redman wasn't signed to come out of the bullpen — if you look at his stats, he's always been a starter with only a few relief appearances. I'm thinking maybe the Jays are losing hope in some of their AAA starters (i.e. Taubenheim) and they might be jettisoning some dead weight down there in the near future….
I originally posted the rumour about Lind's concussion — from what I can tell, he hit his head pretty hard while making a play in the outfield, but it turned out not to be a concussion. They just took him out as a precaution. Good thing, too, because Lind suffered a pretty bad one last year and it's obviously no good to have multiple concussions in a career…..
I can understand the jays loosing hope in their AAA starters-the 3 best are up here-so all that's left at AAA are guys that aren't going to make it. They will hold down the fort until some of the guys in A and AA are ready-or spot starts up here in the event of injury.
In addition, I think they view the rotation of Halliday, Burnett, Marcum, McGowan and Litsche as a strong rotation that hopefully stays together for years. That likely leaves Chacin on the outside looking in and Towers-a bad memory.
gsumner: Yeah, looks like Chacin's got a lot to prove if he wants to pitch for the Jays again. The drinking and driving, multiple injuries, and inflated ERA haven't been helping his cause, though….
I expect the Jays hope that by next year, Tracy Thorpe, Jean Marche, and hopefully Rickie Romero and David Purcey
will be ready to move up from AA to AAA.
Looks like they sent Ty back to AA to make room for Chacin at AAA.
Hopefully this stint at Syracuse will be the wake up call Chacin needed. He made the jump from AA to the Jays quite easily and maybe too easily.
The DUI, didn't bother me that much-the Florida cops also caught Tony LaRussa so I think they might be just a bit vengefull-although its still no excuse for getting caught.
I don't think there's any lingering effect there with the Jays, it's the infalted era and high pitch count that need to be addressed.
Yeah, and not to mention the gopher balls — for a while there, Chacin was giving up HRs like it was going out of style….
If Burnett comes back and finds a way to stay of the DL it will be,
Towers will be in the bullpen unless he pitches a one hitter and goes 8 plus innings.
This GMs failure to address the shortstop situation has me wondering is Johnny Mac. going to play a bigger role next year or is Santos going to get a chance to show his stuff this Sept.remember if Johnny Mac's. bat keeps working other teams are going to give him a second look this winter.
Chacin will be in the bullpen this year or he will be traded this winter and if I was Chacin after what the Jays tried to do to him by cheating him out of some of his salery I would beg to be traded.and please dont anybody say JP was just trying to save the team money this GM throws more money away than any GM ever has.also that DUI is nothing compared to some of the things that go on in sports,like dog fighting drugs betting on the sport you play shooting people and many many more things that happen is sports.
Who knows about Redman he may be the best pickup yet lets see now 1 out of 4????????.
Just a reminder to everybody out there today, the game is on the Rogers sports preview channel on digital, but you can listen to the radio call at fan590.com
I'll be back by the time the game starts to chat with anybody else who'll be here.
Garry: Although that would be the ideal rotation, when Burnett comes back the Jays need to demote someone to the minors. Who's that going to be?
I also think it's risky to put Chacin in the bullpen considering his arm and shoulder problems. He has enough problems coming out every fifth day, so to have him come out at inconsistent times out of the bullpen would probably be disastrous. And, yes, the DUI is peanuts in comparison to some of the stuff other players do, but it also doesn't help a guy out who's known for being a bit of a flake. Also, I think Chacin needs time at AAA — he's hardly been impressive over the past two years.

OS: KateOS 3.2
ATI Radeon x800XL
I installed KateOS and updated all my packages from its repositories. But I'm still having problems with no hardware acceleration. As far as I can tell i have transparency turned off (since the option isnt available from Windows Tweaks). I'll my suspicion as the problem.
from xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "VESA Framebuffer"
Driver "vesa"
#VideoRam 4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
Do I need to install ATI's proprietary drivers (which requires Xfree86 whatever that is)? Or would one of the alternatives be better. I'm just looking for 2d acceleration openGL/3d acceleration is not a big concern for me.
Install this:
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linu … adeon.html
I go super fast again
My old ATI Radeon 7000 is not in the list. Don't you know, will it work with this drivers?
I too have a Radeon 7000 and I'm afraid that there is no good news for us regarding drivers. I spent a long time searching and was not successful in coming up with a real driver just a few changes in xconf that do almost nothing.
Radeon 7000 users are out of luck....although it is a very old card.

From San Juan Del Sur, go north on La Chocolata - it's the only major road headed north before you come into town, so it's hard to miss. Then, just stay in this road for about 15 minutes. Just before a wheel falls off your truck, you'll go over a tiny bridge. Take the next Left. You'll cross through a riverbed (a river in the rainy season - don't worry, you can make it in a 4wd). After that, stay left at the Y, following the signs to Playa Marsella. At the next two Y's stay Right. Go up and over the big hill and then you'll be there. If you get lost, ask somebody. Maderas is a popular beach and everybody knows how to get there - except you if you are reading this.

- Rocks
Consistent, sand bottom, beach break located approximately 15 minutes by car (slightly longer in the rainy season) from San Juan Del Sur. Maderas picks up both south and north swells and will hold up to double-overhead waves. Most days, it's a playful wave, fast and racy with occasional barrel sections. Chances are you won't fear for your life surfing here. The best tide is usually, mid-incoming, but high tide down to mid-outgoing also breaks well at times. It is rarely good at dead low. There are two main peaks at Maderas. The primary peak is a peeling right hander that breaks in the middle of the beach, in front of the north end of the parking area. The very next peak to the south comes the opposite direction and is usually a bit shorter and faster, but still a peeling left hander. At the very south end of the beach, in front of the rocks, there is another left peak that breaks on bigger swells. Most of the time it is a short and mushy wave but at times, has a barrel section. There are also more peaks to the North, but they are usually not quite as good as the main peaks and thus, not surfed as often -not a bad place to go if you want to avoid the crowd or if you are learning how to surf.
Maderas is arguably Nicaragua's most crowded surf break (Popoyo is a close second). While it is still easy to get waves here, it is unlikely you will be surfing alone. On it's most crowded day, expect to find approx. 30+ people in the water although more often, there will be less than 20. Since Maderas is usually a broad mix of beginners just learning to surf, locals and traveling surfers who are staying in San Juan Del Sur, the vibe is typically mello. Come to Maderas to get wet and have fun, not to fight for waves. As with most places in Nicaragua, you can beat the main crowds by surfing early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
well, this is one of the best surf spots in Nicaragua. pretty cool by the waves, people and enviroment. near of the city, easy to access,friendly local surfers! its fine!
if u are coming to Nicaragua, visit this surf spot! u will enjoy it!

Great wave, but the crowd is stifling - The waves at Playa Maderas are fun and sometimes picture perfect. I just don't like the crowds. I've been there many times over the last 10 years. It's been crowded every single time (weekday, weekend, morning, afternoon, etc...).
By miiiii , 28-02-2012
- just back from playa madera. confirming the info about the spot. it's great. waves can be big and racy but rather safe. atmosphere is mellow. one can rent boards at the beach from the hostel and a shop just behind the beach. one has to be careful to not step on stingrays that crowd the sand bottom. but this seems to be an issue in many spots in central america.
want to add a comment on huehuete and casares, two beaches further north. they are not classified as spots but advertised on the web as "perfectly surfable waves." this is bullshit. the waves are long 1/4 mile walls that break at once, ie totally closed out, and there are numerous rocks (except at a beach called tupilapa and on a short stretch from where huehuete fishermen take the sea), plus strong tides. don't go there!
By Anonymous , 08-10-2009
- Scored some alright waves and was pretty uncrowded. Was staying in the hostel right on the beach and had my room broken into and basically everything i own - passport and all - stolen. Also had a mate kidnapped in a taxi on the way to San Juan del Sur - knife to throat, got his pin number and withdraw around 2000 Euros. Watch your shit around here.

For a lot of peak oilers, communist Cuba is the "poster boy" for post-peak agriculture. And I do mean "poster boy". The Community SolutionTM actually sells a $30.00 poster, described as: "A detailed presentation of Cuba's transition from an industrial, energy-intensive society to a low-energy, sustainable one. Great for classrooms and presentations at exhibitions."
They also sell a DVD film called "The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil". Here's the blurb:
When Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1990s, the country faced an immediate crisis -- feeding the population -- and an ongoing challenge: how to create a new low-energy society. This film tells the story of the Cuban people's hardship, ingenuity, and triumpth over sudden adversity -- through cooperation, conservation, and community.Of course, we all know that Richard Heinberg loves the Cuba model, and has even proposed implementing it in the U.S. In a piece called 50 Million Farmers, he tells the inspirational story of how Cuba saved itself by returning to low-tech agriculture:
"Everyone concerned about Peak Oil should see this film." Richard Heinberg
Early on, it was realized that more farmers were needed, and that this would require education. All of the nation's colleges and universities quickly added courses on agronomy. At the same time, wages for farmers were raised to be at parity with those for engineers and doctors. Many people moved from the cities to the country; in some cases there were incentives, in others the move was forced.Now, you can imagine my surprise when I'm reading the news today on Google, and run across this little nugget:
The result was survival. The average Cuban lost 20 pounds of body weight, but in the long run the overall health of the nation's people actually improved as a consequence. Today, Cuba has a stable, slowly growing economy. There are few if any luxuries, but everyone has enough to eat. Having seen the benefit of smaller-scale organic production, Cuba's leaders have decided that even if they find another source of cheap oil, they will maintain a commitment to their new, decentralized, low-energy methods.
Cuba expected to turn over new leaf in farmingCuba has been on the U.S. tit for years, as attested by this vintage news item from 2004:
By Carol J. Williams, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
February 21, 2008
MIAMI -- Without Fidel Castro as president, Cuba is more likely to launch reforms to boost food production, create oil industry jobs and put more pesos in citizens' pockets, analysts said Wednesday.
Some changes, probably starting with efforts to help farmers, are likely to occur during the next year, some analysts said.
With food production pitifully low for a country with fertile land and a year-round growing climate, farmers need more land and more autonomy in tilling it to boost output. Cuba imports at least 70% of its food, including a record $437-million worth from the United States last year.Source
Cash purchases of US food have grown exponentially since November 2001, when hurricane-ravaged Cuba began taking advantage of the first breach of a trade embargo imposed in 1960 and maintained through 10 successive US presidencies. Cuban purchases from what is now its biggest food supplier, already nearing the $300-million mark by the end of July, are set to exceed $440 million this year, Alvarez said in an interview.So... all this time, Heinberg & Co have been talking up the amazing benefits of relocalized Cuban agriculture. And all this time, Cuba has been suckling on the tit of industrial agriculture -- to the tune of 70% OF ITS FOOD SUPPLY. Geez... talk about being asleep at the switch.
A couple of further notes...
The Community SolutionTM's blurb about Cuba "A detailed presentation of Cuba's transition from an industrial, energy-intensive society to a low-energy, sustainable one" is complete bollocks. Cuba didn't transition to a low-energy, sustainable society, and it didn't lose 50% of its oil, as shown by the EIA chart of Cuba's oil consumption below. In 2006, Cuba is using just as much oil as it ever did:
Cuba did suffer a 20% drop in oil consumption with the collapse of the USSR, but that oil was not the decisive factor in Cuba's implosion. So Cuba is a very poor model of peak oil. The primary reasons for Cuba's troubles were: a) the implosion of the USSR and its trading block, and b) Cuba's communist economy. This passage from an Oxfam America report(pdf) gives a clearer picture:
The breakup of socialism first in Eastern Europe in 1989 and then in the Soviet Union in 1990 created a major crisis in Cuba known as the "special period." Cuba lost 80% of its export market and its imports fell by 80% -- from $8 billion to $1.7 billion -- practically overnight.As you can see, Cuba's crisis was not caused by a shortage of oil, but by a shortage of everything.
The country went into shock as employment, production, and standards of living went into a tailspin. In the cities, buses stopped running, generators stopped producing electricity, factories became as silent as graveyards. Obtaining enough food for the day became the primary activity for many, if not most, Cubans. At the Cuban Communist Party's fouth Congress, President Castro painfully listed the commitments unfulfilled by Cuba's former allies:
"As of September 30 [1992], we had received none of the rice, 50% of the split peas, 16% of the vegetable oil, 7% of the lard, 11% of the condensed milk, 47% of the butter, 18% of the canned meat, 22% of the powdered milk, 11% of the fresh and canned fish, 16% of the fertilizers, none of the sulphur..."

What Is The Best Way To Choose A Career?
After witnessing the challenges in the lives of professionals dealing with under-performance, under-achievement, stress, anxiety, career stagnation, anger, depression or financial failure; I decided to write this article on how to make better career choices.
Choosing the right career is important because you spend the major part of your day (9 to 11 hours) at work. If you make the wrong career choice, you will put yourself in a painful, challenging situation.
So, choosing the right career ranks as one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life.

OTTAWA – Canada's annual inflation rate remained stuck at 1.2 per cent for the third consecutive month in October, continuing a level of stability that will give the Bank of Canada little reason to adjust interest rates.
The consumer price index compiled by Statistics Canada was slightly higher than economists had anticipated, given that gasoline prices were known to have fallen during the month, but still at the low end of the central bank's target range.
The core inflation — which measures underlying price pressures by excluding volatile items such as energy — stood at 1.3 per cent in October, also below expectations.
Statistics Canada reported gasoline prices were down 1.2 per cent from September — not as big a decline as anticipated and still 4.0 per cent higher than a year earlier.
The consensus estimate had been for the annual inflation rate to fall to 1.1 per cent, which would have been the lowest since June 2010 when it was 1.0 per cent.
The central bank has set a target of keeping the inflation rate between 1.0 and 3.0 per cent.
Despite the low inflation rate and concerns about the global economy, Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney has stuck to saying that interest rates are likely to rise at some point.
The statements seem primarily to be a warning to consumers, who have racked up record-high personal debt during a period of prolonged low borrowing costs.
Overall, the Statistics Canada report issued Friday showed few trouble spots on the horizon for inflation, with most price increases coming in at a modest or moderating rates.
Meat cost 5.1 per cent more this October than last, yet food overall rose only two per cent. Property taxes hiked up 2.8 per cent, and homeowner replacement costs rose by 2.2 per cent.
However, mortgage interest costs decreased 2.6 per cent, natural gas fell 11.6 per cent, women's clothing shed 3.8 per cent, video equipment were 13.2 per cent lower, and computer equipment and software cost 4.6 per cent less last month than they did a year ago.
On a month-to-month basis, prices rose 0.2 per cent, the same increase as in the two previous months, as property taxes, fresh fruit and automobiles were higher, while gasoline, dairy products and mortgage costs were slightly lower than in September.
Regionally, inflation was highest in Newfoundland and Labrador at 2.2 per cent and lowest in British Columbia, where the annual increase in consumer prices was only 0.5 per cent.

Hot Baby Name: Penelope!
Feb 2016
With all of the talk surrounding the birth of Penelope Scotland — the latest addition to the Kardashian-Disick clan — we couldn't help but be intrigued by the newborn's unusual name. Let's face it: it isn't too often you encounter a Penelope, let alone a Scotland (which we can only assume is after her father, Scott Disick). In fact, the first name seems to be one that you find almost exclusively in fairy-tales and SNL characters. Either way, we can't get enough of the quirky moniker!
What it means: The Greek name was first seen in Homer's The Odyssey and stands for loyalty. It also means "with a web over her face". How mysterious!
How (un)common is it?: The name ranks unsurprisingly low on the Social Security Administration's Top Baby Names List. In fact, Penelope came in 169th in 2011 followed by Jenna and Ashlyn.
Well-known Penelopes: Aside from the most obvious Penelope — Cruz, that is — the name is hard to find! There's the movie Penelope, where Christina Ricci plays a really cute girl with a pig nose, and there's a Simpsons character named Princess Penelope. Another one of our favorite Penelopes is also a fictional character: a desperate-to-impress mouthy thirty-something played by Kristen Wiig on SNL. So it's kind of nice to welcome a new, real-life Penelope into the world.
What do you think of the name Penelope? Do you prefer uncommon baby names or common ones?

I interrupt my soprano-saxophone-and-bass-guitar-playing evening to write very quickly about something that annoyed me today. I can't find the fix anywhere else on the internet, so i guess it's up to me to provide the solution.
Yesterday i upgraded to OS X Mavericks. Which is nice. Free upgrade, woo! Most things work well, though i had a few Java version issues.
Today i found that selenium-webdriver was not able to launch Chrome with chromedriver. It would open and immediately quit.
A quick google reveals that the workaround is to start chromedriver with the
--verbose flag and then it magically works again. Which is true in my experience. But all the examples are for selenium wedriver called by Java or Python and i couldn't find one for Ruby.
The first thing i did was upgrade selenium-webdriver gem to 2.37.0 and chromedriver to 2.4. I checked my version of Chrome; it is 30.0.1599.101 which is apparently up to date. When none of those things made any difference, I investigated the verbose option.
I thought i would just have to pass
--verbose to the
Capybara::Selenium::Driver via the
args or
switches option. But no. That will send the flag to Chrome when it launches, but i need the flag to be set on chromedriver.
Ruby open source to the rescue!
I poked around in the source code for service args and found this:
# selenium/webdriver/chrome/bridge.rb module Selenium module WebDriver module Chrome class Bridge < Remote::Bridge # ... def extract_service_args(opts) args = [] if opts.has_key?(:service_log_path) args << "--log-path=#{opts.delete(:service_log_path)}" end args end # ... end end end end
Hmm, so the only service arg you can set is the
--log-path. That's no good.
Ruby monkey patching to the rescue!
In my cucumber features folder i made a support file to monkey patch that method, and add a possibility of sending any service args i like.
# features/support/selenium_webdriver_monkey_patch.rb module Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome class Bridge def extract_service_args(opts) args = [] args += opts.delete(:service_args) if opts.has_key?(:service_args) args << "--log-path=#{opts.delete(:service_log_path)}" if opts.has_key?(:service_log_path) args end end end
Now in my
env.rb file i just have to require the monkey patch file and i'm able to send the verbose flag.
# features/support/env.rb # ... require 'selenium-webdriver' require 'selenium_webdriver_monkey_patch' # ... Capybara.register_driver :selenium_chrome do |app| Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new( app, browser: :chrome, service_args: ["--verbose"]) end # ...
Hey presto, now i can set the verbose flag on chromedriver, and sure enough, it works. I am testing in Chrome again.
It seems a really horrible hack, and i hope a better solution is found soon, either from a Mavericks update, or chromedriver, or maybe selenium-webdriver will add this option for service args in a future version.
I still don't really know why verbose works when normal mode does not. But there we go. I can test again tomorrow, and that makes me happy!
Now, back to my bass guitar! :)

Katherine Heigl, Josh Kelley, and Naleigh Airport Pictures
Katherine, Naleigh, and Josh Head Out For a Musical Adventure
Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley had little Naleigh by their side as they boarded a flight at an airport in Merced, CA on Friday. Josh has been making the promotional rounds lately to support his new country-tinged album Georgia Clay, and he had his guitar in hand as the family made their way across the tarmac together. Katherine has been taking a bit of a break from work since filming New Year's Eve late last year, but will be back on set shortly as she begins filming opposite Robert De Niro, Amanda Seyfried, and Topher Grace in Gently Down the Stream, a family comedy about a divorced couple who pretends to be married for the sake of their newly engaged son. She's also signed on for a role on the small screen in HBO's upcoming The Knitting Circle, but for the moment has been enjoying lots of outings with Naleigh, as well as her mother, Nancy.

Romney edged closer Tuesday to clinching the GOP presidential nomination. | AP Photo
Romney wins Oregon, Nebraska primaries: Presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney won primary ballots in Oregon and Nebraska, partial results showed, moving him a step closer to winning his party's formal White House nomination.
Romney won 73 percent of the vote in Oregon against 12.2 percent for Ron Paul, who suspended active campaigning this week, and 5.7 percent for Newt Gingrich, according to results from nearly two thirds of precincts.
In Nebraska the former Massachusetts governor had some 70.9 percent of votes compared to 9.9 percent for Paul and 5.2 percent for former House Speaker Gingrich, according to nearly complete results.

Ron Paul, who announced Monday that he would cease active campaigning in states yet to hold their primaries, nabbed just 9 percent.

Facing an angry tide of political unrest, Egypt's residency on Tuesday rejected an army ultimatum threatening to intervene if Islamist President Mohammed Morsi did not meet the demands of the people.
Instead, the presidency said it had its own plan for national reconciliation.
The army statement, read out in a televised address on Tuesday, gave Morsi 48 hours to comply with its call.
"If the demands of the people are not met in this period... (the armed forces) will announce a future roadmap and measures to oversee its implementation," it said in the statement welcomed by cheers and celebrations from Morsi's opponents, still camped out in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
In response, the presidency army declaration had not been cleared by the presidency and could cause confusion, it said, AFP news agency reported.
The presidency also denounced any declaration that would "deepen division" and "threaten the social peace".
Morsi was consulting "with all national forces to secure the path of democratic change and the protection of the popular will", it added.
"The civil democratic Egyptian state is one of the most important achievements of the January 25 revolution," said the presidency, referring to the 2011 uprising that toppled dictator Hosni Mubarak.
"Egypt will absolutely not permit any step backward whatever the circumstances," it added.
Tamarod, the grassroots campaign behind Sunday's massive protests against Morsi, also hailed the statement by the armed forces which it said had "sided with the people".
It "will mean early presidential elections", Tamarod's spokesman Mahmud Badr told reporters, according to AFP.
But Morsi's rejection of the army ultimatum has raised the stakes in the country's political crisis, which has resulted in 16 people being killed in protests on Sunday, including eight in clashes between supporters and opponents of the president outside the Cairo headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Egypt's Foreign Minister resigns
Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr tendered his resignation early on Tuesday, the state news agency MENA reported.
The report did not elaborate or say where it got the information, according to Reuters. At least five other ministers have resigned since Sunday's mass protests.
Earlier, Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Qandil rejected the resignation request of five ministers, a senior government official told AFP.
Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou, Minister of State for Environmental Affairs Khaled Abdel-Aal, Communication and Information Technology Minister Atef Helmi, Minister of State for Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Hatem Bagato, and Water Minister Abdel Qawy Khalifa handed their resignation letters at the same time to Qandil, the official said.

I'm trying to follow directions to format a text file but I'm very new at Java and I'm not exactly sure how to do this formatting. Here are the instructions:
"read in a text file and display the contents of the file to the screen output. The file will contain words separated by spaces, lines terminated by the newline character(s), and paragraphs separated by a blank line (i.e., a line with zero (0) characters in it).
Your task is to write the program Format which will take a single command line argument to specify the width of the output line. The name of the file to be formatted will be entered as redirected standard input. The output will be displayed to the standard output (i.e., the screen).
To read from a disk file you will need to import the classes java.util.Scanner.
To create a Scanner class object instance for the redirected standard input (the file to be
formatted) include the following lines:
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
Your program will read from the scanner input a line at a time. For each line read, if the line has a zero (0) length then just display a blank line. Otherwise, the line will contain words. Create a new Scanner object instance whose constructor takes the name of the String that contains the line you just read in. You can then pick up each word using the next() method.
You will need a StringBuilder object instance to hold the output line that you are building up. You then append words to the end of the output StringBuilder. Remember to add a single blank space between each word (but not before the first word in the output StringBuilder). Before adding a word you should check that the current length of the string plus the length of the new word and the blank space does not exceed the output line width that the user specified at the beginning of the execution of the program. If the new word will cause the output string to become too long then the unaugmented line will be displayed, the output line StringBuilder should be cleared (reset to have 0 length) and the new word added to the empty string. Be aware that when the file is completely read there might be some words left in the output StringBuilder. These should also be displayed to the screen. Close all scanners when they have completed their tasks."
This is all the code I have and I'm extremely stuck. If anyone can help me get started with this and help me understand I'd really appreciate it.
package format; import java.util.Scanner; import java.io.*; public class Format { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); FileWriter fwriter = new FileWriter("Text.txt", true); PrintWriter inputFile = new PrintWriter(fwriter); inputFile.close();

World War II, or the '41-'45 War as its known in the States and Russia, proved to be one of the most successful and high-budget movies ever made, even becoming more popular than WWI (rookie filmmaker Gavrilo Princip's only hit, so well-received in the film industry that he was executed). The film, which racked up billions of dollars in British debt, has occasionally been criticized for the death of 72,000,000 actors, including the stars Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler.
The film is famous for a scene in which the British, unable to push Germany's advance back, since neither army can walk on water, are aided slightly by defectors, Russia, the late-as-usual America, and French farmers. The British population, who single-handedly stopped the advance of the Nazis though the use of the most technologically advanced defensive feature of the day: the English channel, quite rightly say that the "yanks are stupid to think that Germany would not attack them". Having next to no aid from the rest of the world since the American President was busy trying to stop the nation from starving(by making them throw up lend-leases), England along with a lot of help from the English channel (without whom they would have lost the entire war and Germany would rule the world) bravely tried to push back the most powerful army in the world on their own, of course Britain got it's ass kicked, but lucky for them they could play their usual trick and retreat back to England borrowing civilian`s boats to flee. The French of course weren't quite as lucky as they didn't have an English channel to hide behind. Out of Germany's hydrophobia, Hitler called off the invasion of Britain to attack mother Russia. In a cowardly sucker punch,only a year after the European war began, the Japanese at Pearl Harbor attacked the sleeping giant called America, who decided to finally save the world again, by fucking around with the Japanese for a while and then topping it all off by roasting two large Japanese cities like Mongolian barbecue. There are several supposed reasons why Hitler declared war on the rest of the world. The most widely accepted accounts agree that Hitler was enraged over the poor quality of bagels and lox in Germany. He then blamed all Jews worldwide for being unable to properly manage their own cuisine (and ruining his breakfast), and insisted they be eliminated.

The ending of the previous film, World War 1, was received negatively by numerous people, particularly the Germans and Japanese. In addition, critics said that the producers should elaborate more on the plot twist involving Russia being seized by so-called "Communists," and that the storyline was far too dark, with too much (im)moral ambiguity.
Based on events in the 1930s, people increasingly began to think the producer of the film, History Inc. was planning a spiritual successor series to address those complaints...
Trilogy Episodes
For your convenience, (and to aid a half-assed imitation of a certain sci-fi series which shall not be named) we will take this immense historical event and chop it up into nice, bite-sized episodes
The Second World War was started due to Hitler's ever growing hate for Adam Sandler. Adam, being Jewish, was a very big influence in Germany and a one-time porn mate of Adolf, decided to move to America. To blow off some steam, Hitler decided to take a walk into Poland with a few 100,000 troops. The Polish (who had it coming) got fucked. Hitler loving the pleasure of more slaves decided to do the same to the French.
In 1918, the winners of World War I (who liked George's idea for "The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" better), decided that Germany would be paying for their round of drinks and mindless slaughter, and so has been left skint (there was quite a lot of it).f
However, something is rotten in the state of Denmark I mean Italy. Europe's Boot came out of the war in a complete mess. Looking at the situation, a fatso named Benito Mussolini rises up. He and his men go around, beat the crap out of anyone who disagrees with his domestic policy, and eventually seize power. Mussolini, or El Duce as he was now known, doesn't do much aside from print bad propaganda posters, but he lays out the groundwork and legitimacy for Fascism. He also gets a certain Adolf Hitler - then a nobody in the Weimar Republic - ideas...
Meanwhile, in 1929, Wall Street is shocked to hear that money, in fact, does not grow on trees as their botanists had reassured them. The resulting Great Depression smashes down on the financial world, reducing stock traders to stock clerks. (If they were lucky) However, it was even worse in Germany. They had already been suffering from hyperinflation so bad that their money was more valuable as stove fuel than as money.
Now, in 1933, a certain big manly badass of a man steps up in Germany, promising to solve their problems by killin jews! than he whipped his whip out right there and than! He won 78% of the vote.
The year is 1939. In a move to secure its place as a superpower, Japan has raped the Manchurian province of China and reinforced the point by brutally slaughtering Jews and sending a select few to work as spies in popular investment banks. The world, however, is busy elsewhere, and continues to be, so the Imperial Japanese forces repeat the same processes on every single island in the Pacific. Along the way, they invent the first-generation Toyota Corolla by forcing Australian POW's to weave pieces of bamboo together and attach it to a set of four tennis balls.
Meanwhile, in Europe, an angry Austrian named Adolf Hitler seizes control of Germany and declares everyone else inferior to his German-ness. Building a massive army to execute his vision of a super party with only the super race invited, or world domination, he seizes Austria. France, thinking that the Maginot Line was perfect, hands him Czechoslovakia as a free sample. With this, Hitler allies himself with his long-time enemy Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union and sets his sights on Antarctica and Canada, with the assumption that the territories captured can be used for the leisure of all Aryans. Skiing and sledding were always very important to Hitler.
As Germany invaded France, the French bravely retreated to fight another day. Except they forgot to fight another day, and decided to go to a picnic instead, where they got their asses kicked (disregarding the South of the country which bravely went over to the other side and fought for Germany and bravely delivered many of it's Jews to the concentration camps). The rest of the French empire followed Vichy's brave example and capitulated. Meanwhile, Britain, having had its ass kicked at Dunkirk, (Think Halo Reach) and noting the fact that it was the last fucking democracy left in Europe, began camping like a COD:MW2 NOOB. But one must never forget those brave French men who fought for their motherland in the first and second world wars whilst the English hid behind the English channel and the Americans slept in late. Again.
At this dark point in the timeline, the head of the Nazi's Luftwaffe, an obese morphine addict (No, seriously) named Herman Goering, begins to chuck fighters and bombers at Britain to smash their puny aeoroplanes. He has estimated that England would be crushed in days, but to his surprise, the RAF fighterplanes make it clear they will not comply with such a short deadline and beat the Luftwaffe back.
Frustrated with this defeat, Adolf Hitler does what any logical Aryan would have done: He invades his "ally" Russia. At first, the attack goes well. Stalin had killed most of his more competent officers in a fit of rage known as the "great purge." (Post-war analysis showed that he had somehow heard Rebecca Black's Friday, infuriating him.) However, as the Russians begin to retreat less often and the snow begins to fall more often, it occurs to the Germans that they left all of the warm coats in Hamburg...
Meanwhile, Japan, irritated by the evil eye America is giving it, finally snaps. In what is one of the worst strategic defeats for the Axis ever, the God Emperor's (Note: He was actually just a short guy with glasses.) forces bomb Pearl Harbor, destroying both the port and America's desire to remain out of the war.
So, the rather pissed off Stalin and Roosevelt go up to Churchill and propose that they should gang up and beat the snot out of those Hitler and Hirohito punks. Churchill likes the idea, and so the grand Alliance is formed in the name of freedom, democracy, and/or totalitarian communism.
Between Russian and America, it akes the Axis some time before they realized what the fuck they had done.
EPISODE V: THE AXIS (tries to) STRIKE BACK!
Cut to 1942-43. Things are not going so well for the Axis: The Africa Corps had by then become the Africa Corpses, those stupid Commies had stopped the German attack, and a group of American dive bombers attacked the main Japanese battlefleet right as the slant-eyes were hauling around explosive fuel tanks and ammo crates to refuel and resupply their fighters. (There was a lot of pretty fireworks that day.) Italy, seeing where this is going, tells Mussolini to fuck off and defects to the Allies.
While Hitler is preoccupied with the Ruskies to the East, the Western Allies do a dirty sneak-attack and land a whole bunch of boats on the French coast while Germany isn't looking. This is also aided by the fact that Hitler had decided to sleep in late that day. At this point, it dawns on some of the less unreasonable Nazis that Hitler is in fact batshit insane, and they unsuccessfully try to kill him via a bomb. Hitler responds by successfully trying to kill them via piano wire strangulation.
Meanwhile, the Japanese come up with a brilliant strategy for fighting the American pigdogs: Shout Banzaii!!!! and charge straight into the American machine-gun fire. While it leaves some stuff to be desired in effectiveness, it does an excellent job at "saving face," so the Japanese decide to make this brilliant new plan a standard tactic throughout their Empire. Needless to say, the war tips further in favor of the Americans.
Episode VI: THE RETURN OF THE BOMBER
By now, things are REALLY not going well for the Axis: Their not-so-presentable death camps have been exposed, most of the land they took over has been liberated, and their leaders hadn't even gotten around to making badass supervillain capes for themselves.
As Stalin's steely (and rapey) soldiers storm the streets of Berlin, it finally occurs to Hitler that he is, in fact, not winning the war. Shocked and devastated by this revelation, Hitler orders one last batch of Jews to be killed, rapes his dog, and blows his diabolical brains out right as a Red Army soldier knocks on his bunker's door.
On the other side of the world, Roosevelt quietly checks on the progress of a group of scrawny nerds banging hammers against an odd device and asks about "Manhattan." The nerds tell him that the project is on track, and the US won't have to invade the mainland and fight off the die-hard fanatics who literally worship their head of state. Satisfied, Roosevelt rolls his wheelchair out of the room.........
.....and suddenly has a heart attack.
As everyone mourns the "World's Favorite Cripple," a new guy named Truman assumes office. Truman takes the "devices," from the nerds mentioned earlier, gets into a bomber, and drops the funny looking gizmo over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The locals are puzzled and ask Truman what the strange device is. Truman explains he prefers to show, not tell people things, and right at that instant, the gizmo activates and incinerates Hiroshima.
Truman then decides to call this gizmo an "atom bomb," and then drops another one on Nagasaki just for giggles.
And so, the Allies win the war, and the Axis... well..... lose the war. The Allied nations all get drunk to celebrate, put several Axis leaders on trial, and then go back to arguing amongst themselves, just like in the good ole' days.
A seventh episode, in which German returns and rises again after a long hiatus, is rumored but unconfirmed. There are tons of them. Watch it!
Britain's Role
Making a cut in the history; with Machiavelli Churchill brilliantly on command, British "just":
- Hid behind english channel knowing Hitler didn't want to get his feet wet.
- Saved the US from the german Luftwaffe(U/S is naval terminology for unserviceable btw)
- Raped most Naval forces that got in their way (Royal Navy was the largest in the world at the time, the Royal Canadian Navy the 3rd largest)
- scorned the Yankees for not saving the lives of US and phillipine forces on Corregidor Island, Stupid Gen. Douglas Macarther
- Managed Africans, Indians, Ghurkas, Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and some country that we wont mention further...
Godzillas role in World War Two
Godzilla had an influential role in the attacks led by Japan. Since he was already employed as an actor by the film business in Japan, he decided to take the governments role as the giant lizard that the japanese aremy desperatly needed. Godzilla was involved largely in the battles of Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. It wasn't until in 1945 with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagosaki by the kitty kat federation of planet Hilter land, which had recently invaded and taken all of planet hilter land, did Godizilla realize that he was fighting for the wrong side of the war. He instead began his attacks on Japan to helpo out whoever he was supposed to be helping(probably planet Hitler land, ruled by kitty kat federataion). He continued his insane, fire breathing attacks on tokyo until king kong attacked him and they had a great battle. Luke Skywalker, his father, robot dino jesus, and a zombie army helped godzilla and king kong was aided by the communists, hitler (who was still in spite because he got kicked out of his own planet), nazis, and an army of flying dolphin-whales. The battle was so epic that it began to break the sound barrier, and then created an awesome flash that kept the whole world from seeing what happened. The result of the battle of 'Zilla v. Kong was the lessening of king knog to only a dog toy, now commonly known as a kong.also, godzilla pwned to the point where a new definition of power was created. it was to be called the united states marines. Because it was decided that godzilla was to powerful to use in only one place, his powers were split later on in his life to become the several million americans that now serve in the Marines.
Of course, World War II received criticism for its excessive violence and the cameo of Sylvester Stallone as Rambo.
Many racists and anti-Semites protested that the Holocaust sequence was so inhumane that it had obviously been faked by the Jew-controlled media, while even more protested it was too good to be true (see Holocaust denial, Holocaust affirmation, Holocaust denial denial and the therementioned further articles).
Others were skeptical of the Rape of Nanking because of the extreme difficulty of even consensual fornication with a city (after obtaining the proper permit to do so, of course), much less the fact that the decapitation of all locals is not typically a part of intercourse. (It turns out that Godzilla was the guy that raped Nanking.) The city of Nanking even responded with a statement that spellcheck does not recognize its name, and therefore they does not exist, after which it proceeded to prove itself correct by vaporizing a moment later.
Six million Jews and other Europeans found the movie so inhumane they buried themselves in mass graves. When some researchers went to Poland to investigate the possibility of its residents being killed indiscriminately, they found that the country had been uninhabited since 1945.
However, the movie's idea of genocide (aka ethnic cleaning), be on retail - by inches - or on "wholesale" ("let's do it once and for all") form; still are extremely popular, particularly amongst Serbian, Israel and some young African nations, while others took the trend of indiscriminant killing.
Other sequences, such as the Battle of Stalingrad seemed to be blatant fakes. Because of a budget cut, actors had to steal prop rifles, often onscreen, from other soldiers who were pretending to be dead, while some stole rifles from troops who were shooting at the enemy. Many also questioned the possibility of unsheltered soldiers freezing to death in Russia during one of the worst winters ever recorded, declaring this to be totally not feasible at all.
Russian Reviewers were insulted since it depicted the Russian army as a sober fighting force, when in reality, they were drunker than an Australian after 4 hours at a pub. Negative criticism was pointed at how Russians had 1 rifle per 10 people, whilst in reality it was 1 per 50
According to critics, the war with the Japanese was just an excuse to film some jungle scenes (which Spielberg got to do anyway with his next movie, Vietnam), and the entire Pacific plotline was called a "convoluted mess" because, with twelve billion islands, there were simply too many to keep track of. Some islands seemed to even have been made-up, like Midway, Guadalcanal, the Philippines, and Hawaii. To more criticism, the portrayal of the Enola Gay (Latin for "butt-humping gay") seemed to imply that the U.S. was a bunch of fruity homosexuals about to make Japan its bitch. Although that did, in fact, happen twelve seconds later, critics retaliated by saying that "Enola" backwards is "alonE", and then asserting that "Anal alone" makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, even if done backwards.
French reviewers stormed out through the beginning of the film during the scene where it is revealed French Tanks had 16 gears in reverse, and the fact that French uniforms were white, guns white, tanks white, which also faced criticism from some Black reviewers. In response to another scene depicting the whole French army trying to escape into Britains vagina, 25 french viewers shot themselves in the temple.
Other people criticized the movie's invention of Fascism, saying that no one would be dumb enough to fall for such an idea.
More criticism arose over the Allies' attitude towards the Jews throughout the movie. Many found it silly that the Allies formed blockades around their countries to prevent Jews from entering, and shipped the Jews who were already in their country to Germany. Some found it more ridiculous that Allied bombing raids on the Nazi death camps always seemed to miss the crematoriums in favor of an unsuspecting Jew, or, more often, an entire Jewish bunkhouse, which were typically miles away from any other part of the camp. To add on to confusion as to which side the Allies were really on, they awarded the entire land of Palestine to the ten remaining Jews and kicked out all the Palestinians. The Palestinians then declared eternal Holy War against the Jews and started to bomb them. Arabs, however, found it totally absurd and absolutely unheard of that any of them would declare a Holy War against anything and then begin blowing themselves up. In protest of this representation, they declared a Jihad against Hollywood and began exploding themselves in random movie theaters.
Spielberg responded to all this criticism by criticizing it, which soon brought the criticizers retaliating with even more criticism of the criticism of their criticism. Before long, the entire argument became a huge, incoherent mess akin to the movie.
In accordance with all this criticism, the movie was given six stars out of five, two thumbs, and the toe of Roger Ebert, and swept the Oscars, Emmys, Pulitzers, and even won a Nobel Peace Prize for setting an example for many aspiring peace activists such as Pol Pot and Slobodan Milosevic, and ensuring that such inhumanities would never ever occur.
It is well known that the S.W.A. won the second world war, however in an elaborate coverup the government suppressed this knowledge because the SWA is too PWN4G3 for the |\|00|3z0r5

Your heart is broken after a break-up, so what do you do?
Chances are you'll start creeping your ex-partner on Facebook, new Western University research shows.
Then you'll move on to creeping their new partner - or who you suspect is their new partner.
You'll probably also re-read and analyze your previous Facebook messages and wall posts and maybe delete pictures of the two of you together in happier times.
"I wanted to see how breakup distress is related to Facebook use," said Veronika Lukacs, who next week will defend her Masters thesis, called, It's Complicated: Romantic breakups and their aftermath on Facebook.
"What I found was that whether you were on Facebook all the time or not, your distress level changed based on how much surveillance you were doing (post break-up)."
Lukacs' research surveyed people who'd broken up with an boyfriend or girlfriend in the past 12 months. Subjects filled out a survey about their breakup experiences. Lukacs also conducted interviews about the subject.
Her hypothesis that Facebook increased post-breakup distress proved true, often because of so-called "creeping" — checking out an ex-partners profile to check up on what they were doing.
Lukacs found that 88% of respondents creeped their ex's page, and 80% looked up their ex's new partner or suspected new partner.
"The more surveillance there was, the more distress there was, but it's difficult to say why," Lukacs said. "Does surveillance make you more distressed, or are you distressed so you do more surveillance? My hunch is that it's a bit of both."
Facebook has added a tricky dimension to a breakup, one where people have to change their relationship status and encounter an ex's smiling face in pictures posted on a mutual friend's wall.
And a solution isn't as simple as deleting an ex from your friend list, Lukacs' research found.
"Deleting seemed to be really effective but it depends on the severity of your creeping behaviour. Some people are active Facebook creepers and seek out information while others are affected by what comes up on their news feed," Lukacs said.
Deleting a friend on Facebook is seen as rude and may strain relationships with mutual friends.
One piece of advice rang true throughout her study: People should change their Facebook password post-break-up. Several survey subjects admitted to hacking into their ex's profiles, or being hacked themselves.
Facebook findings:
- 48% of people remained friends with their exs on Facebook.
- 88% creeped their exs.
- 70% used a mutual friend's profile or logged in as a mutual friend to creep their ex.
- 74% tried to creep an ex's new partner or suspected new partner.
- 64% said they re-read or analyzed old messages from their ex.
- 50% deleted pictures of their ex from their profile.
- 31% posted pictures to try to make their ex jealous.
- 33% posted a song lyric or quote about their ex as their status.
- 52% said they were jealous of a picture their ex posted.

March 5 is the deadline for voting on Measure A in the special election is bringing us closer to resolving the political turbulence swirling around the fate of our West County hospital.
A YES vote on Measure A is the only way to preserve an acute care hospital west of Hwy 101 while reducing future tax liabilities.
A NO vote could result in the loss of hospital services in West County forever while increasing the tax burden by millions of dollars with no benefit whatsoever to the community.

I can only hope this was a joke.

Maybe they figured it was the only way today's students would understand it?
me fail english thats unpossible.
you shoulda snapped a photo of this and sent it to failblog. :D
It'll be gone by the time you go back to take a pic for failblog. 27 mothers will have called to complain already.
Yeah, I should have, but I don't carry a camera.
My cell phone is from 2003, and there is no way to get the pics out of it. Not sure why it included a camera in the first place.
They should have aborted the attempt at communicating in writing.
Doesn't say much for the status of education, does it?
I frequently have to go to a local University as an external assessor. I park next to a sign that says 'Parking space's for official visitor's only'.
Drives me nuts every time I see it.
Or should that be, 'Drives me nut's'.
this reminds me of the time i got my daughter into big time trouble at school when i sent back a note from the teacher - with all my grammar and spelling corrections done in red!
Just remember, it's the lower rung school administration (read:minimum wage for life) types that make those signs at schools, not the teachers, so I'm sure your kids are going to be just fine.
Besides, they have grumpy genes!! They could go to school in Botswana and be fine!
And, get a new phone! :P
Wow Danielle. Sounds like something I would do :). I got in trouble once a few years back while working at a retail store for sending an email back to the coporate office with some corrections highlighted... oops.
Have you tried attaching the pictures to a text meesage and then sending to your email account?
I had a phone with the same problem and that's how I got around it. You can then download the photos and edit at will.
The biggest issue is figuring out how to enter your email address. The @ symbol is tricky.
@Hospital Lab Tech:
I *know* what you mean.
Look up "The Law of Conservation of Apostrophes".
You'll love it.
I resisted the strong temptation to misuse them in this response.
I sent back plenty of paperwork last year with corrections done in red ink. Nothing came home and got signed without me correcting it if necessary (and it usually was).
This is why I pay $15,000/child per year for a private school.

Yikes! Starting? Starting what? Welcome to start exiting?
(I never can remember how to spell the word 'excellent' so I always had to picture the sign on Bruno's Pizza regarding his very excellent hand-tossed pizzas, but the shop closed some five years ago, so have had to rely on other tricks, such avoiding ants at Bruno's.
In efforts for more egalitarianism among cell-phone texters, how about advocating for wide-spread use of esperanto, and limiting the alphabet to 14 letters at the most-eliminate 'b', 'c', 'g', 'h', 'j', 'n', 'p', 'q', 'v', 'w', and 'x', and maybe 'y'?
Hello? Spellcheck??
Ugh. I'd be firing someone. Different schools have different employees doing the marquee . . . at our school, I simply give our custodian a list of what's to go on there, and he puts up the letters. If the principal at that "exiting" school is responsible, someone needs too shute him.
This blog is fabulous! I, too, work in the healthcare industry as an administrator. I would LOVE to talk about the crazy crap in my life although, sorry to say, most of my stories would be about the docs.
Maybe I should go incognito, too??
Chrissy- that's what I'd do.
I avoid other docs. They're wierd.
