2002 L'Aventure Optimus
Tasting notes:
Cassis, wild blackberries, and a chalky, mineral note from our west side terroir dominate the aroma. The mouth is classic L'Aventure, with deep, richly layered flavors of tea leaf, spice, dark berry, and leather sharing the stage. The long finish reveals anise and some graphite notes. Decant this wine, and it will reward you with even more complexity.

DRBD Merged into Mainline Kernel
The HA technology, Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD), is to be merged into the official Linux kernel, probably from version 2.6.33.
The announcement came on the blog of Florian Haas from Linbit, the Austrian company, specialized in High Availability, that until now has nurtured the DRBD code outside of the mainline kernel. On December 8, highest kernel chief, Linus Torvalds, accepted the source text into his kernel tree, which sometime next month should become the 2.6.33 release.
The GPL software DRBD has been ten years in development: Philip Reisner, in the meantime CEO at Linbit, published the code as part of his diploma. DRBD In the case of a system failure, DRBD preserves distributed data in High Availability clusters and provides incremental resynchronization. The latest version 8.3 of the open source software also includes add-ons from DRBD+, formerly reserved for paying customers.

Q:how passionate is a aries really? I am one and I really feel like i need alot of love and emotions from others sometimes
Aries are EXTREMELY passionate. They always need other people there telling them how great and wonderful they are or they start to feel like they don't matter.
I don't think I could go a day without someone caring for me/complimenting me- I'd go insane.

Boy, the sermon Sunday really shook me up! It was about Jesus' imminent return. Am I ready? Will I be left behind?
It scared me to the core. I'd better get right with some things and get busy. It reminded me of the movie, "2012." I guess the Mayans knew something about this stuff. The special effects were pretty terrific. That movie made me think a lot. But then I kind of forgot about it and went back to my old ways.
I guess I mess up a lot, but I really don't want to get left behind in Jesus' return. I mean, the guys who want to serve Jesus after the rapture will have to be beheaded. If people are hostile towards Christians now, how much more so when the Holy Spirit is removed from Earth?
So this brings to the basic question I have as a wimpy Christian: How much sin can I get away with and still go in the rapture?

President Barack Obama unveiled a defense strategy on Thursday that would expand the U.S. military presence in Asia but shrink the overall size of the force with a new focus on cyber-warfare and unmanned drone missions.
President Barack Obama will join top Pentagon commanders to unveil a new "more realistic" vision for the U.S. military, including cuts to ground force numbers as a result of budget strains, officials familiar with the plans said on Wednesday
Israel's foreign minister questioned Europe's commitment on Sunday to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons
The Pentagon on Tuesday sought to play down remarks by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta who has suggested Iran's nuclear program could be on a faster track than previously suspected.
The Pentagon official in charge of the F-35 project said major cracks and "hot spots" have been discovered in the stealth fighter's airframe, creating a fresh challenge to Canada's plan to acquire 65 F-35s for $9-billion
The top U.S. military officer told Reuters on Wednesday he did not know whether Israel would alert the United States ahead of time if it decided to take military action against Ira
By Lee Berthiaume HALIFAX — U.S. Defence Secretary Leon Panetta shot down suggestions Friday that his government is planning to bail on the F-35 stealth fighter because of pending budget cuts — in part, he said, because there is no better option.
The UN nuclear chief said Thursday it was his duty to "alert the world" about suspected Iranian efforts to develop atom bombs
WASHINGTON — Pentagon chief Leon Panetta will bring in the New Year with a $10,000 bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild from 1870, courtesy of a bet with a friend over tracking down Osama bin Laden.

In every event in every occasion; wanting to appease, but never to cease the spotlight of her heart.
Ultrathin and lightweight organic solar cells with high flexibility
The only way that solar power is ever going to contribute an appreciable amount of energy to the betterment (and cheaperment) of society is if we plaster solar panels on everything, everywhere, all the time. And we might just be able to do it now, with this new generation of panels that are thinner than a strand of human hair by a factor of 20.
Thin doesn't just mean lightweight (although these panels are very lightweight), it also means flexible. At 1.9 micrometers thick, the plastic foil cells are, for all practical purposes, elastic. So, you can layer them onto clothing, for example, and not only will you not be able to feel any additional weight, but the panels will be able to flex and crumple right along with the fabric without damaging anything.
Beyond applications requiring flexibility, solar cells that don't take up any space and don't weigh anything become an obvious thing to stick on to all sorts of surfaces just because you can. Back of a cellphone? Sure! Roof of your car? Sounds good! Bottom of your swimming pool? Why not!
The current generation of these cells can only convert 4.2% of sunlight into electricity (which is terrible, to be honest), but by the time commercial availability rolls around in five years or so, our hope is that that number will get bumped up enough to make it worthwhile to start putting this stuff on everything.
Like alchemy I will always be an equal exchange.
Human equality. Its insanity, and will not be created without anarchy.
New days?
Is there anything new in the world, in each day I feel myself getting used to a droll whisper of boredom. A pain of creationless critically challenged conversation.
There is never any rhyme or reason to the way things become pieced together in life. There is no control, if you think there is it is just fake.
So don't try to be a hip - hop artist, or the leader of a rock and roll band. Because this music is just going to play.
I am a inamorato, a libertine with no place to go
I have a secret place inside my mind,
where I keep hidden inspiration you will find.
And when my petty anger goes to my head,
to find out what is killing me,
been so long but somehow i just still care,
I am a inamorato, a libertine with no place to go
Sometimes I think you spite me, ignore phone,
but with a magnified look, this hate I sense is my own.
The many times I've loved you, recently more than myself,
it's time to take that love and put it on the shelf.
Oh, and when I hold you tight,
it makes me want to scream and fight.
Love that turns a cheek, and walks away after the night.
When I hold you right, in my arms you are mine,
but in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same,
I know something goin on and I know who's to blame.
it fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow.
Cuz' something's gone wrong, when your not here tomorrow.

Best AYCE Buffet in Richmond Hill, North York, or Midtown (Started Dec 2012)
Hi everyone. I know that there are other threads on AYCE buffets here, but I thought to start a new post that's more updated.
Therefore, what do you recommend as the best AYCE buffets in either Richmond Hill, Markham, North York, or Midtown Toronto?
The following link propose places like Echo Sushi, Yang's Kitchen. I've also heard of Ginza. However, I've looked at online reviews like Yelp and Restaurantica and each restaurant has significant negative feedback so I'm conflicted. Thank you very much!

Hong Kong or Cantonese Stir-Fry or "Wok-Hay" Restaurants
Hello Charles Yu,
Thank you very much for your response.
I'm afraid that I've been to Judy's Cuisine and John's BBQ before, but they were a bit below my expectations. Their offerings and service were a bit ordinary. I've additionally been to Sun Star in North York. The food and vegetables did have that wok-hay flavour to them, but the problem is their limited menu choice. We really don't know what else to order there, aside from the Set Menus A, B, and C. It has always been the Fried Chicken, Stir-Fried Gai Lan or Choy Sum, or Diced Beef. Of course, they do have seafood including several kinds of fish, but they are very pricey.
I haven't tried New Choice yet, but the reviews here aren't all that positive: http://www.restaurantica.com/on/richm...
I also haven't been to Win's Seafood Restaurant, but again the reviews cast some doubt : http://www.yelp.ca/biz/wins-seafood-r....
So would there be any other recommendations or suggestions for wok-hay restaurants in North York or Richmond Hill? Sadly, I'm not able to make it out to Scarborough.
Thank you again!

Hong Kong or Cantonese Stir-Fry or "Wok-Hay" Restaurants
Hello everyone,
I'd to ask for any recommendations or suggestions for restaurants serving stir-fry or wok-hay, in the true Hong Kong or Cantonese cuisine style.
For example, I used to go to Fantasy Eatery a very long time ago but because there have been some negative reviews of it, I haven't gone anymore. So now, unfortunately, I'm out of a good Cantonese wok-hay place to dine in!
I'd interested in any in North York, Richmond Hill, or Markham.
Thank you very much!

Takeaway or Store-Bought Roasted Turkey
Dear all,
Since my family and I would still like to have roast turkey this weekend, I'd like to ask where roasted turkey, already cooked (deliciously and well, we hope), can be purchased in North York or the Midtown area.
Are there any restaurants or grocery stores which offer takeaway turkey? This would be where I either preorder and pick it up or buy it already cooked (like roast chicken in many grocery stores)?
Thank you very much!

We offer two ways to locate information:
While it is never easy getting grapes to mature perfectly, the 1999 vintage was a little more challenging than most. The cooler coastal vineyard sites in normal years allow for slow maturation, but the 1999 growing season was colder than usual. Luckily, the crop size was small. This fact was the vintage's salvation. Even an average size crop would not have ripened. This year's wine benefited from blending a significant amount of Cabernet Sauvignon from some of the warmer and riper vineyard site. In a
curious reversal of the usual pattern, some of the highest quality red wines were from some of the warmer regions in 1999. The art of blending played a significant role this year. One of the nice things about Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the other Bordeaux varietals is that they take well to each other in a blend.
The flavor profile is classical, with the Merlot giving the red berry freshness and a hint of herbs, while the Cabernet pulls it together with a darker plum-like fruit and the typical cedar. Like all the Echelon wines, the oak flavors are in the background, with the fruit flavors occupying the foreground. Merlot has the structure to stand up to almost any food. It has enough tannins to
pair well with meats such as lamb or duck, and is delicate enough to serve with pasta dishes.
-Larry Brooks, Consulting Winemaker
Combining the best fruit from friends" and neighbors" vineyards, Echelon produces serious wines for everyday drinking. To obtain this exceptional fruit, Echelon pioneered the development of long-term contracts with growers in emerging regions, including areas within California"s Central Coast and the Clarksburg appellation"s Esperanza Vineyard. Echelon"s winery is located in San...Read More About Echelon
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine.

Merlot is coming back into its own. High popularity led to mass production, which then led to a backlash towards the variety (remember Miles in Sideways?).

The Concept of Bad Faith as Defined in L'Etre et le Néant and Illustrated in Sartre's Early Plays.
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Master of Arts (MA)
Romance Languages
E. W. Knight
The purpose of this paper is to define Sartre's concept of bad faith in L'Etre et le Néant and to apply this definition to Sartre's early plays. It is also hoped that the study will show the relevance of the theory of bad faith to our daily practice. Les Séquestrés d'Altona has been omitted both because of its complexity and because it would entail an examination of the Critique de la Raison Dialectique which is not possible in the scope of this thesis. The point of view in this thesis is considered by some to be biased but it is the opinion of the author that objectivity is not possible and that Marxism, which is the outlook of Sartre himself, is the correct one.

Emmylou Harris tells Terry Gross about getting the news that Gram Parsons had died:
I just got a call from Eddie Tickner, who was Gram's manager and my manager, and he said, "I have some terrible news. You know, Gram died last night." And it was such a shock, you know. I think when you're young, in your 20s, you think you're going to live forever and you think everybody you know is going to live forever.
And so it was really difficult to absorb the news and figure out how to grieve, how to go about dealing with this loss of this person who was so important to, you know, as a friend and someone who I cared about very deeply. But also, so much of my life and music, which was so important to me at that point, he was like my teacher and the direction and everything.

I can understand why that would seem alarming if you weren't sure the reason. My guess is your dentist is making a little space so your teeth can line up better.

|Analysis of space charge fields using Lienard–Wiechert potentials and the method of images in the RF-free electron laser photoinjectors
|W. SalahaR. M. JonesJ. L. Coacolod1
|Based on Lienard–Wiechert retarded potentials and the potential due to a beam-induced image charge on the cathode, a rigorous relativistic description of a beam transport inside an RF-photoinjector is presented. Velocity-dependent effects are explicitly taken into account. Simulations are presented for parameters appropriate to the ELSA photocathode where velocity-dependent effects are particularly important. These simulations reveal that at the center of the cathode (r=0, z=0) the beam's self-field and the field driven by the charges image on the cathode are equal. However, the self-field of the beam is dominated by the field due to the charges image on the cathode as one moves from the tail to the head of the beam. Far from the cathode, the self-field becomes the dominant one.

Wedding: 5/2/2014
Mayfair Farms did an awesome job for our May 2014 Wedding! The food was amazing, the service was excellent and everyone we talked to said they had a blast! The food, space, and music play such a huge part in the overall experience and the people at Mayfair know what they are doing! It is reasonably priced for the area. I would highly recommend their venue to anyone considering having their wedding there.
Wedding: 10/27/2013
Mayfair Farms will hold a special place in my heart and that of my husband's for as long as we both live. Joanne, Richard and all their staff made our wedding a beautiful, wonderful day. Joanne worked with us in every possible way. She took our many calls and responded to our many e-mails when we panicked and thought all was lost for certain. Richard personally saved me when I was feeling sick in my stomach with bitters and club soda. I felt sooo much better afterwards and was finally able to enjoy my own wedding for a little bit! The staff was so attentive and kind. And the food was amazing! All our guests told us how delicious the cocktail hour was and my husband and I can attest to the taste of our main course! The foilage during our October wedding was so beautiful and the grounds were just perfect. The pictures we have of that day could not have had a more storybook setting. I highly recommend Mayfair Farms for anyone who wants a wedding at a beautiful location where you will work with beautiful people. They will not disappoint you!
Wedding: 11/22/2013
Mayfair Farms provided us with a beautiful, vintage background for our wedding. Their formal elegance was the perfect mixture of modern updates and classic embellishments. The food was savory; the drinks were abundant.
The staff was amazing, attending to our every need. Our maitre d' was professional and warm. She carried my train, gave us picture hints and even packed up our dinners--since we were so busy dancing!
I would absolutely recommend Mayfair Farms to my closest friends and family! Be sure to check it out!
Wedding: 11/8/2013
I recently got married at Mayfair Farms on 11/8/2013. I cannot say how great it was from start to finish! JoAnn was an absolute pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable and confident in our choice. Our maitre'd Richard was wonderful as was the entire staff. Our wedding was beautiful and our guests raved about the place and the food. I would highly recommend Mayfair Farms to anyone looking for a classic, elegant wedding venue and one that will be very memorable!
Wedding: 9/7/2013
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Mayfair Farms on September 7, 2013. From the very first time we met our coordinator, Scott, we knew we were in good hands. The staff was always courteous, accommodating, patient, and helpful. They really wanted our day to be perfect and special - and it was. They helped us with all sorts of little personal touches, and were more than willing to go along with almost anything we had planned for the day. The grounds are beautiful and were perfect for pictures. There was more than enough space for our large crowd (200 ppl) and the room never felt overcrowded or stuffy. Our guests loved the cocktail hour, especially the martini bar, and other than my husband's meal (he didn't particularly care for the lamb he chose), the food was wonderful! The bartenders were quick with the drinks and our personal bridal attendant (Chevon) was fantastic. We had a fabulous wedding and would recommend Mayfair Farms to anyone.
Wedding: 9/1/2013
Mayfair Farms did an amazing job from start to finish on my wedding reception. Our consultant, Joanne, was extremely detail-oriented and really "got" what we wanted. Our maitre'd, Richard, and his staff anticipated our every need- even needs we didn't know we had- at the reception. The room looked beautiful and all of the food was amazing.
I would highly recommend this place- it's a great venue and a terrific value when compared with other venues in the area.
Wedding: 4/27/2013
From the moment I stepped into Mayfair Farms I fell in love with place. I wanted a venue that was spacious and had lots of natural light and we found this with Mayfair. Through the entire process the service was incredible. If I ever had questions or wanted to take a look again they were so accommodating and helpful. The day of the wedding Richard the maitre d was truly amazing. When we arrived to the reception after the ceremony he walked us up to the bridal suite which had champagne and hors d'oeuvres waiting. When we were taking pictures on the grounds he brought us more hors d'oeuvres and made sure we didn't need anything. He was always there and very attentive. He made sure we had a chance to eat our entrees and he was always there if we needed him. The Viennese hour was truly spectacular. The room was set up beautifully and Richard took us through to preview before he opened it up to everyone. The food was so good I kept wanting to eat more. All of our guests raved abut the food and dessert. I would highly recommend this venue. We truly had an amazing day and couldn't have asked for more.
Wedding: 11/21/2012
I was amazed at how attentive and thorough the service was. Everything was done well and with extreme attention to detail. Anything that we might have forgotten to do was taken care of without us even asking. You can tell that this is their business and that they really know what they are doing. The venue was amazing and everyone was very accommodating. We had such a great time, that we wish we could do it again. Thank you Mayfair Farms for everything.
Wedding: 10/20/2012
Let me start by saying 5 stars is not enough! Our wedding was October 20, 2012. I can not say enough good things about the owner, Jimmy Horn, the coordinator, Joanne Szibdat, or our maitre 'd, Richard! From the first time we went here, we were treated like family. Joanne and Jimmy coordinated everything wonderfully, from our personalized menu to the pricing. Our taste test was unbelieveable...a beautifully set table next to the fireplace with champagne, wine, appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts...enough to feed a table of 10! Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Our maitre 'd RIchard was the best...I definitely did not go without eating at my own wedding as he fed me appetizers, potatoes from the potato bar, pasta, and filling my martini glass everytime it was empty! We left feeling like we were part of the Mayfair family and are so excited we have a wedding to attend there this weekend!
Wedding: 8/18/2012
We had the garden wellington room and absolutely loved it! The room opens up onto a patio in the back. We had a beautiful day, so we had our cocktail hour set up outside with a grill station. We started the whole planning process with Jenny, but she had left for another opportunity. As a bride, I got a little nervous because she was SO GREAT! However, everyone at Mayfair is great. Richard was very helpful with taking over the planning process, and Barbara who was our Maitre D the night of was an absolute sweetheart. The receptionist who always answered the phone was an absolute sweetheart as well. The food was DELICIOUS! The ballroom was beautiful, and the grounds were beautiful. They were very accommodating when something came up. We visited many venues when we started planning and this definitely was the best choice!!!
Wedding: 8/3/2012
We had our wedding here about 3 weeks ago with about 175 people in the main ballroom and everything was FANTASTIC. I don't have enough words to express how wonderful everything was. Richard was great and provided us with everything we needed before, during, and after the wedding. Our head waiter, Robert was also superb. Every time we turned back around he had gotten what we asked, whether it be part of the bridal party or a drink!
We didn't get to enjoy most of the cocktail hour since we were doing pictures, but the little we did get to have (shrimp, sushi, and lamb) was DELICIOUS, as was our main course, Chilean Sea Bass. This was soooo good! The maitre d made sure we ate and we were able to preview everything before hair. The Viennese hour was also delicious. Our cake was perfect, as were the cocktail infused coffees/cappuccinos, bananas foster, eclairs, etc. I loved the desserts!!!
The entire night we felt like royalty. The staff and service was wonderful!
If you are looking for a wonderful and affordable venue, check this place out. It will be worth your while!!!!
Wedding: 7/7/2012
Mayfair Farms did not disappoint. It is gorgeous, inside and out; the food is excellent; the staff is superb. We fell in love with it when we went to see it, and we were not disappointed on our wedding day. I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
Wedding: 6/15/2012
Mayfair was amazing from the beginning planning stages all the way through the ceremony & reception. Joanne was incredibly patient with all my questions & was happy to help with my planning. Richard, our maitre de worked hard to keep everything running smoothly the day of. Everyone was raving about how beautiful everything was & how amazing the food tasted. We had attended a wedding there in 2010 & loved it which was one of the reasons we chose it. I would highly recommend Mayfair to have your wedding or any other event. They will do a great job with smiles on all of their faces.
Wedding: 4/21/2012
I had an amazing experience planning my wedding with the staff at Mayfair Farms. They got everything right that my husband and I asked for... nothing with mushrooms (high allergy for one of our guests), and our favors/place settings were placed just right. From the day of our wedding till still today, we have had great reviews and stories from our guests. Our maitre de was very attentive and nice too. Also, for an April day time wedding, the price couldn't be beat! Many many thanks and recommendations for this beautiful wedding reception venue!
Wedding: 11/5/2011
We were so pleased to have our wedding at Mayfair Farms under the direction of Ms. Joanne Szibdat. She makes this venue a great place to have a fantastic reception. We did not worry about anything because Joanne conducts her business with integrity, honesty, and professionalism. We went to many other wedding venues and we chose Mayfair Farms because it is elegant, classy, and spacious. Additionally, the food was delicious and there are beautiful grounds. The venetian hour was amazing and we received so many compliments on the food and bar service. It was truly a pleasure to work with her and I would recommend Mayfair Farms to anyone as long as Joanne is in charge!
Wedding: 9/6/2009
I can not say enought about the Mayfair Farms. They made everything about our day so special. The food was fantastic, the liquor was freely flowing and our guests all had an awesome night.
Wedding: 10/14/2011
Having my wedding at mayfair farms was everything I had ever dreamed of. The service was excellent, my guests are still raving about the food and the atmosphere! I highly recommend Mayfair farms!!
Wedding: 10/22/2011
Mayfair Farms made my wedding! I don't think anywhere else could have done such an amazing job. Richard was my maitre-d' and he went above and beyond my expectations. Every time I turned around he was there to pull out my chair, get me a drink or wipe the sweat off my face. He did everything! No one had to lift a finger the entire night. He made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. I can't believe how on top of everything he was. He made sure we had enough refreshments in the bridal suite and managed the timing of everything to perfection. No one was in need of anything the entire night. The scenery was beautiful, the food was amazing and the service was spectacular. Not to mention the affordable pricing for everything you are getting. Even at the end of the night my bridesmaid had wanted a centerpiece to take home, but when she turned around it was gone. Two minutes later Richard came out carrying the centerpiece he set aside for her so no one would take it. Look no further for the best venue in NJ!
Wedding: 5/22/2011
I really can't say enough about my experience at Mayfair Farms. From beginning to end, the staff there was just amazing and the venue is so beautiful. Joann was so patient with us throughout the entire process and was always available to answer all of our questions. I also have to recognize the maitre d'. I was definitely stressed out the day of the wedding, like many brides are, and he made sure I was always where I was supposed to be. He even made sure my husband and I got to eat. I would absolutely recommend Mayfair Farms to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Northern/Central New Jersey.
Wedding: 5/6/2011
I had Joanne as my contact and she was so easy to talk to and to get a hold of. Any questions we had she was always eager and willing to help.
The food was amazing; cocktail hour was over the top! You'll be shocked to find out all of the appetizers included in the package. Make sure you save room for the desert, wedding cake, pastries, chocolate fountain, banana foster, ice cream station, desert drinks - another hit with our guests!
There was no extra charge to have a wedding ceremony outside vs. inside and we didn't have to make a decision until the morning of the wedding. The grounds we're prestine, perfect for the ceremony & pictures. We had the smaller room downstairs (Wellington room) and it was perfect. We had a patio for our guests to get some fresh air and our OWN BATHROOMS; there was no sharing with another wedding party.
The staff was extremely nice and attentive. Anytime a guest got up from the table they would be there folding their napkin. They also brought drinks to the tables which lighted the crowd at the bar.
The maître-d made sure my husband and I had time to sit down and eat uninterrupted and eat our dinners and take in and appreciate our wedding day.
The only negative had nothing do to with Mayfair but their other restaurant Pals Cabin (same owners I think). We had our rehearsal dinner there since you get a bit of a discount if you are having your wedding at Mayfair but the service was not acceptable. Our party of ~25 people had only one waiter who was also the bartender. We paid for open bar but no one was behind the bar, at one point we started making our own drinks. We were rushed through dinner so fast that we paid for 4 hours we we're done eating within the first hour and a half (apps, salad, dinner & desert). Then the waiter was gone we had to go find him several times. My only suggestion, do not have your rehearsal dinner at PALS CABIN regardless of the discount.
We have received many complements on Mayfair from our guests. The food and service, nothing but the best! I would recommend Mayfair Farms to everyone!

LONDON -- West Bromwich Albion striker Nicolas Anelka was charged by the English Football Association on Tuesday for performing a gesture considered to be anti-Semitic while celebrating a goal.
The former France international has until Thursday to respond to the charge, and is facing a minimum five-game Premier League ban under the FA's anti-discrimination sanctions.
West Brom said Anelka is now "considering his options," adding that its internal inquiry will conclude when the FA process is over.
The gesture, which is known in France as a "quenelle" and has been described as an "inverted Nazi salute," involves pointing one straightened arm downward while touching the shoulder with the opposite hand.
It was popularized by a French comedian whose performances are considered anti-Semitic. Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala denies anti-Semitism claims, but he has been convicted multiple times for inciting racial hatred or anti-Semitism over the years.
This month, Dieudonne agreed to abandon a controversial show banned in several French cities after angering the government.
Anti-racism group Kick It Out said the FA has "spent a longer time than desirable" before charging Anelka over the incident in the globally-televised match against West Ham on Dec. 28.
Anelka said after the West Ham game that the gesture was meant to show support for Dieudonne, and it was "anti-system" rather than anti-Semitic.
While accepting that Anelka is not anti-Semitic, Britain's Jewish security organization warned Tuesday that the "quenelle" could be directed at Jews more as a result of its use in a match.
"Anelka has introduced a very ugly phenomenon into British football," the Community Security Trust said.
The 34-year-old Anelka had already agreed not to perform the gesture again but has not apologized.
"Anelka made a gesture which was abusive and/or indecent and/or insulting and/or improper," the FA said in a statement. "It is further alleged that this is an aggravated breach ... that it included a reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or religion or belief."
The FA introduced a minimum five-game ban for racism last year in the wake of high-profile cases that saw Liverpool striker Luis Suarez suspended for eight games and Chelsea captain John Terry for four.
A three-person FA independent regulatory commission will deal with Anelka's case, and the European Jewish Congress is demanding "the strongest punishment possible."
"The FA must send a very strong message that offences made against the Jewish community should be treated in the same away as offences against any other minority," EJC President Moshe Kantor said.
"Anti-Semitism is a growing phenomenon in Europe, and in particular surrounding football stadiums, and hate against Jews, as with any other type of hate and intolerance, should be stamped out without demonstrating leniency to the perpetrators."
West Brom's shirt sponsor announced it won't be renewing their deal when it expires at the end of this season as a result of the controversy.
Anelka is one of the most talented and controversial players France has produced.
After growing up in a Parisian suburb, Anelka started his career at Paris Saint-Germain and was quickly spotted by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who signed him in 1997.
Anelka's sometimes nonchalant attitude and apparent lack of commitment to the team started to anger the Arsenal fans, who gave him the nickname "Le Sulk."
Anelka left Arsenal in 1999 for Real Madrid, where he won the Champions League, before moving to PSG, Liverpool, Manchester City, Fenerbahce, Bolton and Chelsea.
Anelka caused the biggest controversy of his career representing France when he was sent home from the 2010 World Cup after insulting then-coach Raymond Domenech in the dressing room. His reputation had reached its nadir, but the stubborn Anelka refused to apologize and ended his international career in the wake of the scandal.

Lord Krishna As Raas Behari2,769 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Lord Krishna As Raas Behari
Gautam Saha: Lord Krishna is Raas Behari, the reservoir of each and every relationship
One can relate with him at any level, in love or hate, in enmity or in kinship
The Lord will play the game by the rules you yourself set
To discharge His part of the deal, He will never forget
As the son of mother Yashoda and Nand Maharaj
He enabled them to exchange with Him "vaatsalya raas"
He was the perfect child, a bundle of mischief and joy
He played in mother Yashoda's lap, her own dear boy
The cowherd boys of Brindaavan related with the Lord in "sakha raas"
They played and fought, and snatched food from each other, as pals
They laughed together and they cried together, as cronies
They faced dangers together and shared their food as buddies
As a friend to the simple cowherd boys of Brindaavan, with whom He played ball
He wrestled with them, and in pure friendship and equality, He took many a fall
When Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama took on the mighty wrestlers sent by Kamsa
They killed the two powerful giants in a trice, thus thwarting the evil designs of Kamsa
Kamsa was always obsessed with Lord Krishna, but with inimical thought
To kill Krishna was his sole obsession, to go to any length his mind was fraught
The Lord was in no hurry, he accepted the challenge to a wrestling bout
When the time was ripe, He snuffed out Kamsa'a life without harbouring any doubt
With the simple cowherd girls of Vrindavan the Lord exchanged "maadhurya raas"
Which has been explained by the great achaaryas as the highest form of "raas"
Mirabai also related with the Lord in "maadhurya raas", in great intensity
The Lord is so magnanimous that He grants fully everyone's wish for intimacy
Lord Krishna also accepts "santa raas", a relationship in neutrality
The great devotee Prahalad related with Him in this form of affinity
We can relate to Raas Behari in "daasya raas", as He consents to be our master
Since everything the Lord does is perfect, He will always be our perfect master
To relate with Raas Behari as His servants is our rightful position
Since the Lord is the Supreme Master of all creatures and the entire creation
To be in such a position is not a diminution of ourselves, or our identity
But a wise decision, where the benefits will accrue to us for all eternity !
Gautam Saha

SEVIERVILLE (WATE) - Assault and false imprisonment charges filed against a Sevier County pastor were dismissed by a judge Wednesday.
Andrew Byrd of Sevierville filed a lawsuit against the Family Chapel Church of God in Pigeon Forge, saying he was assaulted by church leaders on Feb. 21, 2012.
Byrd says the pastor, Joel Arwood, threw him to the ground and beat him, claiming he was trying to cast out demons during a church meeting.
On the other hand, Arwood and his wife say it was they who felt threatened by Byrd. The judge sided with the Arwoods and dismissed the case, but it's not over yet.
Byrd says he suffered multiple injuries, including cracked teeth and lasting leg problems. But he didn't press charges until nearly a year after the incident because he says he spent that time trying to settle it through the church.
"They seemed to want to cover it up as though it didn't happen. By the time we got through all those hearings, we were near the 12 months, so I had to file it," Byrd said.
The pastor's wife, Theresa Arwood, says it was Byrd who was in the wrong. She says he wanted to meet with church leaders to address some problems, but during the meeting it was Byrd who became angry, and even threatened them with a pocket knife.
"Mr. Byrd was kicking his legs up in the air trying to kick my husband in the back of the head," Theresa said.
She says her husband and a few other church members weren't trying to cast out demons, they were trying to pray for Byrd, and restrain him from hurting anyone.
"They were restraining him. He was trying to hurt us. At the point when he calmed down and seemed to be OK, they let him up," Theresa said.
Church member George Lawson says he was at the meeting, and he thinks the pastor overstepped his authority by holding Byrd against his will.
"Mr Byrd was on his back he was trying to get up and I could tell something was being grossly mishandled up to this point," Lawson said.
Lawson says after Byrd was released, everyone seemed fine. In fact, Byrd continued to attend the church several more times, saying his wife wanted him to. In the end, Sevier County Judge Benjamin Strand dismissed the case.
"Very disappointed. I expected it to go completely the other way with the evidence we had," Byrd said.
Byrd was asking for more than $3 million in damages in this case. There is still a civil case pending. In that case, Byrd is seeking money for his medical expenses. No date has been set yet.
Byrd no longer attends the Family Chapel Church of God, instead he has now started his own ministry.

There are also reports that Darren Young might be a part of the cast as well, but that is unconfirmed.

A couple of years back, fans witnessed a real life shoot incident in the ring between JBL and the Blue Meanie. Some blood was involved. Apparently, the two of them have resolved their issues since then, as JBL took to Twitter to wish the Blue Meanie a happy birthday. The former WWE stars appear to be quite cordial with one another now.

The belief within the industry is that Evan Bourne is hoping to make a return to WWE some day. He recently did a shoot interview, but the video was rather tame. He did not reveal too many secrets, and he did not show a ton of animosity towards the company. If Bourne can show that he can stay sober and injury free, then WWE might be willing to give him another chance since he did have a little bit of a fan base.
August 15, 2014
While doing a shoot interview, Evan Bourne revealed some details about a backstage fight that took place between Big Show and Great Khali. He stated that it took place in 2009 while WWE was doing a live event in Puerto Rico. He did not reveal what the fight was about, but Bourne did state that Show threw the first punch. Khali was able to block it, and the two fell to the ground. Khali mounted Show and slapped him a few times before others stopped it.

While there are still some questions whether or not this is a shoot or a story line, Tommy Dreamer is telling fans that he might be done with TNA as a backstage agent after an incident where he bashed Dixie Carter for removing Bully Ray at the last minute from his House of Hardcore show. His departure has not been confirmed yet, and many are still under the belief that this is an elaborate work.
June 11, 2014
Rumors are heavily floating around right now that TNA and House of Hardcore are working together. When Tommy Dreamer cut what seemed to be a shoot interview about Dixie Carter pulling Bully Ray from his show, some felt that it was out of character for Dreamer to do that, as he is viewed as one of the more respectful guys in the industry. Plus, Dreamer himself has a working relationship with TNA already, so it would not be hard to fathom that he would align his company with Carter.

The rocky relationship between Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon is apparently back on bad terms again. WWE officials are said to be quite upset with the former United States Heavyweight Champion for comments that he made about Legends House during promotional events. Piper, who is no stranger to backstage heat over the years, also made some derogatory comments towards Pat Patterson during a shoot interview recently.
May 30, 2014
"For relevant reasons. Once in a while you'll shoot texts back and forth with somebody, or if there's some business thing going on, like if they need something signed or a scan for a video game or something like that but it's not like I talk to the WWE every week and give them my thoughts on what's going on with them or they call me and give their opinions on what I've been doing. It's a business relationship and like everything else when you're gone you're gone and when you're back you're back and if there's anything in-between on a business level or a personal level I'll get in contact with them. I have a good relationship with the WWE and there's no animosity but it's not like we're calling each other every day finding out what we had for dinner that night." - Chris Jericho on his business relationship with WWE

While Taryn Terrell was pregnant, she always kept the door open for a TNA return, stating that she has not accomplished everything that she wanted in professional wrestling.

Some crazy rumors are floating around right now about Nikki Bella and Brie Bella competing in a Hell in a Cell match at Hell in a Cell 2014. WWE is extremely unlikely to do this because they do want their female performers in gimmick matches that might cause severe injury, but the rumors have some merit because it was revealed by an insider who has accurately broken the news on a couple of things in the past.
September 29, 2014
Nikki Bella is not a good actress. Those are the sentiments unleashed by Vince Russo on his latest blog. It has caused people who have not read the piece to believe that he is blindly bashing the WWE diva. In actuality, though, he was just being honest and candid. Russo even stated that he was not being malicious with his commentary on the story line that is slowly pushing fans away from the product.
September 3, 2014
It wasn't enough for WWE to generate some publicity by inviting Michael Sam, an openly gay football player for the Dallas Cowboys, to Monday Night Raw, the company is taking it a step further by bringing in Jerry Springer, who gained a huge amount of fame by hosting a rowdy show featuring dysfunctional relationships, to moderate a discussion between Nikki Bella and Brie Bella next week.
September 2, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
At Summerslam 2014, fans witnessed the beginning of the feud between Nikki Bella and Brie Bella when the former turned on her sister and helped Stephanie McMahon win the match. The belief is that the feud was instigated by the producers of Total Divas. They wanted an intriguing story for the upcoming season of the show.
August 21, 2014
In order to help promote her upcoming match at Summerslam 2014 against Stephanie McMahon, Brie Bella is on the road this weekend for WWE. The company is sending her and Nikki Bella to the Wizard World event in San Antonio. Brie is still on a reduced schedule, as management wants to give her time to be with Daniel Bryan while he is still recovering from his neck surgery.
August 2, 2014
One of the ideas being floated around backstage in WWE is to turn Nikki Bella into a heel. The story would be that Stephanie McMahon finally gets to her by getting Nikki to believe that Brie Bella has left her hanging. Nikki would grow tired of being abused by the Authority, so she ends up doing a heel turn against her sister. The story would more than likely be featured on Total Divas as well.
July 22, 2014
TMZ has quite the fascination with WWE nowadays. The tabloid website recently reported that Nikki Bella, who recently received her real estate license, was spotted showing homes to Cameron and her boyfriend. The couple is getting pretty serious and is wanting to move in together. Cameron, who is one of the stars of Total Divas, stated that she wants a five bedroom place.
July 21, 2014
A lot of fans were hoping to see John Cena next month at the Comic Con event in San Antonio. They're going to be a little bit disappointed because WWE has been forced to pull the heavyweight champion from the event. The belief is that he needs the time to film a new movie. To make things up to the fans, WWE is sending Bray Wyatt, Brie Bella and Nikki Bella.
July 3, 2014
For those of you that do no watch Total Divas on a regular basis, Nikki Bella revealed a secret to Natalya Neidhart this week. Nikki stated that she was once married before. She was in her early 20s and married her high school sweetheart at a courthouse. Nikki stated that Brie Bella was the only other person that knows. John Cena is said to be unaware of the previous marriage.

May 9, 2014
With the way things have been going on Total Divas, it appears that WWE could be building towards a big wedding between Nikki Bella and John Cena. The two of them getting married on the show would generate quite a bit of publicity and interest. Cena is still said to be very much against marriage in real life, but he might be willing to go through with it on television.
May 5, 2014
It looks like some of the confusion surrounding Brooke Tessmacher and her status with TNA is being cleared up. The Knockout is still under contract to the company, and many backstage believe that she will be brought back to Impact Wrestling soon. Brooke is also currently working on obtaining her real estate license, which is what Nikki Bella is also doing.
April 26, 2014
Those that attended the WWE live event in Toronto noticed that Nikki Bella was alone this time around. That's because her twin sister Brie Bella has been given time off from the company, so that she can be with her husband Daniel Bryan, as he and his family mourn the loss of his father. Both Brie and Bryan are expected back with WWE in a couple of days.
April 26, 2014
Even though she has not been featured all that frequently, Aksana has been booked for the upcoming tour of Europe. The company views her as a bit of a draw in that part of the world. The belief is that WWE will have her teaming up with Alicia Fox to take on Nikki Bella and Brie Bella at those shows. The Total Divas stars will likely go over in these bouts.
April 22, 2014
"All relationships have ups and downs. Love is strange. Just make sure you love someone for who they are and not who you want them to be." - John Cena posting a message on Twitter that might explain his relationship with Nikki Bella
April 21, 2014
The theme of the latest episode of Total Divas involved Nikki Bella thinking that John Cena was cheating on her with another woman. When she confronts him, he confesses that he had been lying to her and that he has been seeing a woman. In a very nice twist, this video reveals the heartwarming truth behind that other woman.
April 15, 2014
A video of Nikki Bella revealing on Total Divas that she now has her real estate license. While her boyfriend John Cena plans to be with WWE for the foreseeable future, Nikki is planning for life outside of professional wrestling, as she does not want to be on the road forever.
April 15, 2014
The big story line coming out of Total Divas this week is John Cena purchasing a house for Nikki Bella. The couple was the centerpiece of the reality television show earlier when Cena refused to marry Nikki, prompting wrestling fans to wonder if they were going to break up. Since Brie Bella got married to Daniel Bryan, Cena has to figure out ways to keep Nikki happy.

July 1, 2014
As many of you already know by now, several WWE stars were on the receiving end of a release today, as the company is trying to cut cost a bit.

Hawkins posted this response to Henry.

MAY, 2011 The lithium industry has seen a sharp rise in investor interest in recent years. Forecasts from the likes of Credit Suisse and Byron Capital Markets are bullish and see demand for the metal rising significantly in the coming decade. The main reason behind the enthusiasm is that lithium is the crucial element in the dominant battery technology of the burgeoning electric car industry, and many expect it to remain so as that industry takes off. A race to supply this demand is underway, and investors are looking to Chile and Argentina, two established leaders in lithium mining and the most promising sources of the metal in the future, and even Bolivia, which has the largest lithium reserves in a world but has yet to capitalize on them. They have also turned recently t....

I don't want to have to hate this hard, but I really don't understand why the drama was taking away. Maybe you could explain this in the next column?
Secondly how are some of those Random Acts of Uberness?! "We were in a Vault-25 PUG together and the Wrathful gloves dropped off Toravon. I won the roll, but the raid leader mislooted the gloves to Raeynne. A short tell later, and she agreed to trade them to me next chance she got. It's randomly uber because she could have kept the gloves for herself or just ignored me, but instead she chose to do the right thing. Thanks, Raeynne!" That has seriously got to be a joke, that is not a Random Act of Uberness, it's basic kindness that ever WoW player should show.
And finally your review of the weeks top raiding progress is completely useless. The information is easily findable by just going WoWProgress.com and it's doubly useless when there is unusually a whole separate post for all Region First kills. To offer an alternative maybe you could provide things like how many guilds out of all of them have down normal mode Lich King? Sindragosa? Hardmode Saurfang? These are still available on WoWProgress.com but aren't on the front page and take a little digging to find.
jealouspirate said...
1) It was explained in the first article with the new format that the removal of drama was to foster a more positive community where we don't get our kicks out of making fun of others.
2) Basic kindness among strangers in WoW is more rare than the Ashes of Al'ar. Sometimes it's nice to be reminded that there are some decent folks out there.
3) Just because WoWProgress.com has the same information doesn't mean that WoW.com can't or shouldn't post it.
1) I don't think reading about Drama is really making fun of those people.... And also the reason they gave was kind of full of bullshit as I'm guessing it was just an order from Harper.
2) If you really think they are that rare, I feel sorrow for you as you must have only meet assholes while in Azeroth.
3) Although I do like WoW.com and want them to keep posting, I'd like them to be a little more creative than that. I think people saying the Daily Blues is copying MMOChampion.com are incorrect, giving that Boubouille does not post everyday and leaves some of the blue posts the deems "irrelevant" out, but this is just a blatant copying of WoWProgress.com .
(I'm trying not to just hate and actually add to the discussion, so I don't really understand the down rating on my first comment)
Just as jealouspirate already mentioned, you can't expect that kind of kindness everyday. Just last week, I was in a PUG VoA25 and the master looter accidently looted PvP Mage pants to a Shaman (Shaman rolled for them too D:). Instead of handing it to the mage with the highest roll, he was trying to sell it. In the end, he left the raid WITH the pants.
In a game where your real identity is hidden behind an avatar, it's easy to pull of jerk stunts like that without any real punishment. It's sad that it is this way, which is why it's so nice to hear about people who are genuinely kind and helpful to others when they don't have to be.
Psychology 101: Calling attention to a behavior, whether positive or negative, reinforces that behavior. So the end result of writing a lot of articles about drama, is more drama. Conversely, pointing out when people are nice, results in more people being nice. See how that works?
SoulMasterKaze said...
It's actually really rare to see people doing the right thing, as sad as it makes me to say. Nine times out of ten, the person would just bugger off with the loot if it ended up in their inventory. Anonymity + Internet generally brings out the worst in people, because there's no accountability, in my experience.

This is undoubtedly impressive; the photo alone was sci-fi not even a decade ago. Beam weaponry, electromagnetic cannon, autonomous robot bombers… Pretty much everything we thought of as "futuristic" 30 years ago exists now. Only goes to show that humanity can pretty much accomplish anything if they throw enough money at it for long enough.
I am surprised this feat has not already been accomplished. One would think that it would be a lot easier for a drone to land than for a manned plane to land.
Read The Right Stuff, especially the part about landing on an aircraft carrier. I don't think it can be any easier for a drone.
Bravo Zulu on just getting this far.
Go Navy!!
Without having to worry about crew fatigue and the addition of automated refueling the carrier group could have their defensive perimeter extended by hundreds of miles while the human pilots can remain well rested until they are needed.
Once the drones are successful why retire them, do they not have some usefulness other than sitting in a museum?
"Your grandchildren and great grandchildren, and mine, will be reading about this historic event in their history books," said Adm. Winter.
One hopes they will not be reading about it ruefully.
…"waived off…"
I think you mean "waved off."
Occassionally I forget just how amazing U.S. ingenuity and technical acumen can be. It appears that those who wish to do us harm don't fully grasp it either. Nice when there are some concrete examples – whether or not we succeed today – of how the U.S. is still advancing. Especially nice when the example drives home the point – you do not want to mess with us.
you do want to mess with Afghanistan, or you do not?
If it's so difficult for the controller to land this drone under ideal conditions, what will happen under the usual, non-ideal conditions?
Frankly, I thought that they were going to try an automated landing. Now, THAT would be impressive and a leap forward.
"… waived off …"
In the meantime, the best and brightest minds in China are working feverishly to find a way to copy our ability to land a drone on a carrier.
The person controlling the drone to a successful carrier landing will have some sense of pride; but, not nearly as much as those of us who have actually experienced this feat inside an aircraft.
Still: Bravo Zulu!
I believe this task is mainly accomplished by software, so it is mostly programming and algorithm.
Having worked in software for over 30 years, I know software innovation is VERY hard to protect.It is relatively easy to reverse engineer your competitor's software. If you are content with having 90% of the features, it is not difficult to come up with similar product in 6 months' time. Just look at what Microsoft have done in 1990′s with all Apple's software innovations.
So, don't be surprised that China and Russia accomplished similar feat in the near future if they want.
It is a great day when we can make known the tremendous strides we make in technology. I too am in the technology business, and we are seeing a inspiring growth in the US tech industry. These signs are proof that made in the USA will be making a comeback in the technology industry. GO NAVY!
"Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War (American Empire Project) by Andrew J. Bacevich"
"The Pentacon, a nearly three-quarter-trillion-dollar agency, is the largest industrial organization on the planet. And it's armed to the gills. Washington's best and brightest minds—in Bacevich's estimate, the "elected and appointed officials, corporate executives and corporate lobbyists, admirals and generals, functionaries staffing the national security apparatus, media personalities, and policy intellectuals," who are all deriving "profit, power, and privilege" from the status quo—have not only failed you and me, they are steadily running the country into ruin. Though at times he makes his argument with the wrong tools, Bacevich's chief concern—that we're misusing our military—couldn't be more important."
-USN/USMC First Marine Division, I-Corps, Vietnam, 1966-70 (Being loyal to your country is not the same as being loyal to your government.)
Sierra Hotel, Navy!!
The technical will be accomplished and we will then spend ourselves into bankruptcy with these future weapons.
Let's hope the data is protected and not hacked by the Chinese, the Russians and anyone else of interest.
Maybe they can license the technology to Asiana for their 777s?
THE HORROR … lol. the Chinese just want to make money. stop making them out to be the bogeyman
Anyone who thinks the Chinese just want to make money need to check that country's human rights record and its major military build-up and dramatic increase in naval presence in the Pacific.

His research interests include the hominid brain's four-fold enlargement during the Ice Ages and the brain's cognitive reorganization during the mind's "Big Bang," which occurred about 50,000 years ago.
During his talk, Calvin will examine the causes of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and appraise the conventional methods humans are considering to help reverse the trend, such as conservation, reduced emissions and clean energy sources. He then will examine alternate means he believes are necessary to restore the balance between carbon emissions and consumption, including the development of water-based carbon "sinks" to replace lost carbon-consuming forests.
Calvin is the author of a dozen books, most for general readers, about brains and evolution, including "A Brief History of the Mind: From Apes to Intellect and Beyond" and "A Brain for All Seasons: Human Evolution and Abrupt Climate Change," which won the 2002 Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science. His book with Derek Bickerton, "Lingua ex Machina: Reconciling Darwin and Chomsky with the Human Brain," traces the evolution of structured language. His next book, "Global Fever: How to Treat Climate Change," will be out this coming February.
