General Hospital Update Wednesday 10/26/11

Carly was relieved to be able to tell someone that Jax was alive. Stunned, Jason asked if she'd talked to him. Carly said no, because he didn't want anything to do with her, but she was certain that he had survived the plane crash. Jason thought Carly was doing some wishful thinking, so to convince him, Carly told him about Jax's boat, the Silent Lady, going missing and about there being small amounts of money being withdrawn from Jax's accounts. Jason couldn't believe she'd been keeping this quiet and asked if she hadn't been tempted to find Jax. Of course she had, Carly said, but she knew Jax didn't want to be found and she knew that Sonny would kill him if he knew the truth. Jason doubted Sonny would still want Jax dead, but Carly disagreed. Jason asked how she'd feel if or when Jax returned. Carly would welcome him back, for Josslyn's sake. Jason suggested that Jax might be too hurt to make it home. Carly said she'd couldn't bring herself to Jax's mother, Lady Jane about the crash. Carly hadn't heard from Lady Jane and knew that she would have called if she hadn't spoken to her son in this long. Carly was sure this meant Jax and Jane were in contact were together. Jason was uncomfortable with keeping this from Sonny and Sam. Carly was adamant that she had to protect Jax, so that Josslyn could one day have a relationship with her father. She asked him to please do this because now she didn't have him, Sonny or Jax to lean on all the time.
Jason asked what would happen with her marriage if Jax came back. Carly didn't know, but she thought they were over. Jason asked if she finalized the divorce and Carly said not exactly. She told Jason how Alexis had gleefully handed her the divorce papers and how she'd put them in a drawer. Carly thought divorcing Jax now that he was thought dead would make it look like she never loved him. She also thought staying married was good, because it meant she wouldn't be able to impulsively marry anyone else, without stopping and giving it some thought while she was going through the divorce process. She hoped it would spare her the heartbreak of another failed marriage. Jason said it didn't have to be another failure – she could change her track record by having some faith in herself. Carly sighed that Shawn said the same thing. Jason suggested that she listen. She told him that Shawn also advised her to stop running to Jason with every little problem. Jason agreed that she shouldn't, but reminded her that he'd always be there for her if there was something she couldn't handle. Carly wanted confirmation that Jason believed she was telling the truth about Franco. When he said he believed her, she hugged him and said she loved him. Jason said he loved her too and turned to go inside. Carly called out and reminded him that he didn't promise to keep the secret on Jax. Jason gestured to her to back off, then went into the bungalow. Shawn returned and told Carly he'd taken a walk and gone for a swim. He said it helped clear his mind, so now he was able to help her.
Sonny was at his office. He left a terse message for Spinelli about his failure to deliver the surveillance footage from the warehouse. After he hung up, Kate walked in. Sonny was surprised to see her and said he figured he'd let her make the next move after he'd walked out on her at Jake's. Kate responded by kissing Sonny. He asked what brought that on. Kate said she wanted to see if he was really attracted to her or if her theory that he was trying to seduce her to get over Brenda was true. Sonny didn't want to talk about Brenda, but Kate insisted. She reminded him that he'd ignored her for years, even though they lived next door, until Brenda left and now he was suddenly pursuing her. Sonny asked why this couldn't just be about the two of them, but Kate said he never just let things go and moved on. She believed he wanted to move on quickly to hurt Brenda and show her what she lost. Sonny suggested that he might be looking to Kate to lead him out of the pain. Kate responded that she wasn't going to let him use her as a weapon to punish Brenda for leaving with Jax and said killing Jax was enough punishment for everyone involved.
Sonny said that Jax could still be alive, but Kate countered that it was unlikely that he survived. She pointed out that he hadn't contacted anyone. Sonny hypothesized that Jax might call her, since she took so many mysterious trips to Manhattan. Kate said that her trips were none of his business and besides, Jax would call Carly, not her. Sonny said Jax wouldn't want to contact anyone in town, for fear of Sonny finding out. Kate asked if Sonny had searched for the truth about Jax. Sonny hadn't. He told Kate that he'd had enough of Jax and didn't really care what happened to him. Kate said that since it was unlikely that Sonny had curbed his violent tendencies, he probably hadn't looked, because he was afraid of finding out that Jax was with Brenda. Sonny claimed not to care what Brenda was doing, but Kate didn't buy it and reminded him she knew about him and his vengeful nature. Sonny maintained that he'd turned over a new leaf and wasn't having Brenda watched. Kate found that commendable and Sonny credited her for helping him grow. Kate thought it was debatable that he could grow. Sonny reminded her that she was there, helping him out and asked if she thought she was wasting her time. Kate didn't. She said there was a slim chance that she could help Sonny the man, but helping Sonny the wounded child was a lost cause.
Sonny asked if she was here because there was something real between them, or to ease her guilt for pushing him over to the dark side when she stood him up years ago. Kate scoffed and said Sonny was already working for Joe Scully then and would have joined the mob no matter what she did. Sonny countered that they'd never really know what could have happened, but that was in the past. Sonny unnerved Kate by calling her Connie. He asked if there was a chance for them now. Kate reminded him that the last time they were together she was almost killed. She thought he was being too casual about that. Sonny said he wasn't being casual; he wanted to explore what they had. Kate said they'd done that already. Sonny said they were different now, but Kate felt that the same obstacles were still there. Sonny said they could try and overcome them, which frustrated Kate. She accused him of hearing what he wanted to hear. Sonny asked if there was any harm in them spending time together. "The possibilities are endless" Kate replied, as she softened. Sonny asked if she was afraid her boyfriend Coleman or the mystery person she visited would object. Kate said if Sonny must know, her trips were strictly business that had to be handled privately.
Sonny asked if that was anything like her keeping her relationship with Coleman private. Kate asked what his obsession with Coleman was. Sonny said he wasn't concerned about him and could beat him in a fair fight. Kate reminded him that he hadn't fought fair with her boyfriends in the past. Sonny told her that all of those guys were bums, just like Coleman. Kate said Coleman and the guys from her past all made her laugh. Sonny grinned and said he had the last laugh, because none of those guys were successful. He told her what they were doing now and Kate wondered why he was keeping tabs on them. Sonny said she was the one who said that was where all the hurt and pain started. Kate felt it was more like where the violence and anger started. She told Sonny that if he wanted to revisit this, she never wanted to share violence and anger with him again. She turned to leave, but Sonny said he wanted an answer first, about whether this was real. Kate leaned in close as if she was going to kiss Sonny and said whatever it was, it would start with them being friends. She told him they could have dinner in her office. Sonny surmised that she didn't want to be seen in public with him. Kate didn't respond to this. She told him she'd have her assistant call him to set up an appointment, then she left.
Sonny studied the key fob he'd made from the closet door.
Kate went somewhere and unlocked a closet. She gently touched the wedding dress hanging inside.
On the Island, Spinelli was eager to help Elizabeth, but he wasn't sure what to do. He sensed that there was someone else on the island, but didn't see anyone.
Maxie screamed because her hands were covered in something that looked like blood.
Patrick found Robin lying on the deck. She jumped when he called her, thinking he was Lisa. Robin ordered Patrick to stay back because she was bleeding and his wrists were still raw from the ropes. Robin hated that Lisa was capable of driving her to being so enraged. She found the syringe, still filled with her blood and told Patrick about fighting Lisa. Patrick put the syringe in his pocket. Robin explained that she dropped the syringe because she wanted to kill Lisa, not infect her. She felt terribly about wanting to take someone's life, when as a doctor, she was supposed to help people. Patrick tried to calm her and told her that Lisa was gone now, but Robin didn't think she'd ever be gone for good. Steven walked up. He was still looking for Olivia. Patrick noticed three claw- like scratches on Steve's face and asked what happened. Steve had no idea; he hadn't realized the cuts were there. He realized his sister Elizabeth didn't know about Lisa either, so he left to go find her and Olivia.
Robin looked for Lisa in the water. Patrick was certain she was gone, but Robin was skeptical. She told Patrick that as Lisa's targets, they were partially responsible for what happened. Patrick corrected her and said he was his fault. Robin pointed out that they were too far out in the water for Lisa to think she could swim to shore. Patrick wondered how she got on board in the first place. Robin figured she must have boarded before they did. Robin wanted to make sense of what Lisa did and figure out her next move, but Patrick was adamant that they stop talking about her.
Patrick saw Ronnie and Mac's boat coming toward them. Robin was having trouble remembering what happened between her fight with Lisa and Patrick finding her. She struggled to recall how she ended up several feet away from the stairs, where she'd landed after Lisa shoved her.
Olivia and Steve found each other. Olivia was very shaken and she clung to Steve when they hugged. He asked if she was okay and she said no. Mac, Ronnie and some other cops boarded the ship. Mac asked about Lisa. Neither had seen her, but Steve said Lisa probably left when she saw their boat coming. Mac asked how. Mac told them to stay put until he told them otherwise, then went to see Patrick and Robin. Ronnie asked about the others and Steve told him no one had seen Liz for hours.
Robin told Mac about Lisa tying her and Patrick up and attempting to inject him with her blood. Patrick put the syringe into Mac's evidence bag.
Officer Padilla searched the boat and found Maxie and the captain's body. She pulled her gun and ordered her to move away from the body.
Mac gathered everyone into the saloon and questioned them. No one had seen Lisa leave the boat. The inebriated Matt was passed out on the couch. Steve worried that Lisa had done something to Liz, but Olivia encouraged him to stay positive. Padilla lead Maxie into the room. Matt suddenly woke up. Padilla told everyone that someone had stabbed the captain to death. Padilla and Ronnie were suspicious of Maxie. Maxie was very rattled, but said her hands were covered with nail polish, not blood. She'd dropped her purse and broken the bottle, when she found the captain's body. She explained that she'd opened the closet to look for Matt and the captain fell out. Robin asked how she got on the boat and Maxie told her about the ladder. Everyone realized anyone could have used it to get on or off the boat. Matt asked where Liz was. Mac added that he wanted to know where Lisa was, too.
Spinelli was relieved when Liz said his name. He told her that they were the only two people on the island. Liz remembered someone carry her ashore and wondered who it was. Spinelli helped her to his boat.
Alexis went to Kelly's and was startled to see Luke behind the counter. He asked if she was stalking him. Alexis said she wanted pie and he told her to serve herself. She joined him and he told her that he had a room upstairs. It was dark and dank; Luke had considered conning Carly into putting him up at the Metro Court, but he figured he deserved his current sparse arrangements. Alexis advised him to go ahead and get some enjoyment out of blackmailing Carly, then live in denial in a five star environment. Luke said he could live in denial anywhere. Alexis pointed out that after "recent events" he shouldn't live in denial. Luke mused that that was a tactful way to describe killing a child and the resulting witch hunt his family went on. Alexis said that was a skill she developed as a lawyer. Alexis asked if he was there hoping to run into his family. Luke was laying low, trying to figure out what to do next. His ultimate goal was to end up on a beach with a virgin drink.
Alexis said the two of them were like the grasshopper and the ant. The grasshopper lived in the moment and fled responsibility, while the ant was a hard worker and planned ahead. Luke balked at the idea of being a drone, working for the colony. He liked being a grasshopper, jumping from adventure to adventure. Alexis said she always wanted to try out that lifestyle. Alexis finished packaging her pie and turned to leave. Luke asked how the story ended. She replied that the grasshopper's family tried to put him in rehab, and when he refused they abandoned him. Luke asked if she was trying to say he'd lost his family for good. Alexis thought they loved him and wanted him in their lives. Luke didn't know if that was true anymore. He had enough of talking about his problems and suggested he give her advice instead. Sonny brought up the favor she owed her ex, Sonny. Alexis recoiled and said she'd prefer he not call Sonny her "ex". It was "icky" to her. Alexis didn't think Sonny would ask her to do anything illegal and said she'd refuse if he did. Luke urged her not to rule out breaking the law if she could profit from it. He advised her to take a walk on the wild side. Alexis regretted the times she'd done that. Sonny reminded her that she was a Cassadine. He didn't understand why fierce and fearless women settled down once they had kids and told Alexis she was more fun before she became a mom. Alexis looked appalled.
At the pier, Johnny called his employee and told them to make the boat disappear for good. Later, he received a phone call letting him know it was done. Anthony suddenly appeared behind him. Johnny asked where he'd been and Anthony said he could ask the same thing. "I won't tell if you won't" Anthony said in a sing-song voice. Johnny and Anthony went to Johnny's garage. Johnny wanted to see Anthony's wound, but Anthony said he was fine. Johnny was annoyed that Anthony hadn't followed his order to stay put, but Anthony said they had different methods and different goals. Johnny noted that Lisa really hurt Anthony. Anthony called Johnny a paradox for showing concern for him at times, and being nearly ready to kill him other times. Johnny told Anthony not to get used to him caring and that he could have left him to bleed to death on the pier. Anthony reminded Johnny that questions about Anthony would lead to questions about Johnny and Lisa. Johnny grumbled that once again, he was forced to clean up Anthony's mess. Anthony said he wasn't the only one who had a mess. Johnny questioned Anthony about what he saw him do, but before Anthony could respond, he collapsed.

"The Justice Ministry's initiative is a good sign and we absolutely welcome and support it. We will join all efforts to eliminate this phenomenon," said Zuhair Al-Harithy, the HRC's official spokesman in comments published by Arab News on Tuesday.
This is a radical issue in Saudi Arabia, as it means that they are legally admitting that marrying girls of 6, or 9 years old, is immoral. What about their own prophet Muhammad and his Ayesha? Ahhh... but that is different. He was perfect. That is why God permitted him things that other human beings cannot do. MORE HERE.

So much to blog, so little time!! What's up with the month-long breaks between blogs, you ask? My lack of an internet connection, and most recently, a constant stream of wonderful houseguests to keep me more than busy.
Here in the Kingdom of Lila, the last of our visiting dignitaries departed this morning, leaving memories of many a good meal behind (in my mind and in the size of my thighs!). I must say, it was difficult to choose between all of Portland's excellent restaurants when it came to what I wanted to show people and what I had an appetite for. Because restauranteurs here take "local" and "seasonal" incredibly seriously, what's growing is what's on the menu, and that means rich stuff--hearty root vegetables, and meats like pork, rabbit and duck. You're hard pressed to find a salad that's much more than mixed greens right now, and when a friend came to the Northwest with a craving for salmon, it was impossible to satisfy. Here the good restaurants won't serve salmon if it's been frozen, so when I called 4 different places, they all told me some variation of "sorry, it's not in season." Which is definitely admirable, albeit slightly frustrating. This is also a bit hard to get used to for most people, because in many places in this country and around the world, you can get any food at any time (it just has to be flown in from somewhere). But once you get used to eating food at the peak of it's season, you lose your appetite for the mediocre.
This past week, between delicous meals out, my friend and I collaborated to make what we deemed the best dinner of the week. We spent saturday morning at the farmers market, where we snacked on woodfired pizza (made right there in that oven-trailer) with lamb, leeks and chanterelle mushrooms, a yucatan chicken tamale, and caramel-pecan pie, sampling tastes of sauces and ciders along the way. We admired all of the intersting squashes and enormous root vegetables that are out right now--carrots, parsnips and such. Brussel sprouts were piled high, stuck to the stalks that they grow on like big war clubs, and all kinds of colorful variations of cauliflower (orange 'cheddar', purple, green). The mushrooms were out in mass supply--mounds of golden chanterelles, dusted with the dirt that they're found in. We sampled some wild ones that the farmers call "fried chicken"--savory, smooth round disks. We bought some of those, and my favorite, maitakes (the ones that look like grey coral heads, and taste so meaty). I already had a bunch of roots that I had bought a couple of weeks before, so with those and some shallots, we were set.
We bought some fresh free range chicken legs/thighs from new seasons (3 big ones for less than 5 bucks, I might add). We rubbed those with olive oil, hawaiian salt, red and black pepper, topped that with sprigs of thyme and rosemary (from the bush in front of my neighbor's house). We layed the chicken in a roasting pan atop a bed of sliced onion and golden delicious apples, and baked it until crispy. It was soooo moist and delicious!! I roasted a pan of the root vegetables--yams, parsnips, turnips, celeriac (celery root) with some quartered shallots, and olive oil and rosemary--that was so good too!! THEN we sauteed the mushrooms with shallots and that was just the perfect match for the other two. Such a yummy, savory winter meal. I ate the leftovers for lunch yesterday and impressed myself again. I think I'm still stuffed. mmmmmmmm....

A Turbulent Travel Experience Through Madipakkam
Today I was commuting to Guindy from Tambaram in B51, which would ply through the notorious Madipakkam. When I tag a sense of notoriousness to Madipakkam, it is because of multiple reasons:
- Bad roads. You can see the bus jumping high up to a skyscraper level in the various potholes of the street.
- Unmanaged traffic chaos prevailing almost all 24x7 and quite interestingly this remains unmanned by any traffic cop. Interestingly, we have the following police stations lining up this 15 km stretch -- Madipakkam Police Station, Adambakkam Police Station and St. Thomas Mount Police Station.
I first thought of sharing this on my travel weblog but it caters to more than just commuting through this stretch and hence writing a brief description in my personal weblog.
For sure if any one goes through this road, they would need the help of Amrutanjan almost quite immediately to seek solace and relief from backpains. I used to wonder whether Chennai cops are really security conscious since with such an amount of chaotic road conditions, I just imagine Madipakkam to be another hideout of terrorists (similar to the one that would be shown in Tamil Film Roja, where the track used to wind, unwind, tangle and entangle; and with so many obstructions in the simple 15 km stretch that starts from Medawakkam Koot Road and terminates at St. Thomas Mount Railway Station. Interestingly, the four kilometer stretch from Eechangadu to Medawalkam Koot Road which was serving as a highspeed bypass road for Pallikaranai has also been ruthlessly and callously dug by the good samaritans in the state administration for reasons best known only to them.
In the bus in such a road condition, I used to wonder how effectively the conductor is able to quickly jot down the ticket entries when each 'stage' passes by. Today, I had to make some quick jottings when someone was telling a message on the phone and I really got pissed up by the violent amuck turbulence that shook me like anything between Eachangadu junction and Kilkattalai. If at all there is Olympic contest of writing in moving buses, I am sure we can field our MTC conductors who have taken the Madipakkam route and they are sure to win us a lot of laurels and tonnage of gold medals.
In Tamil some one commented a while back, perhaps in a comical way though that 'Madipakkam is so called because there are so many bends in the little stretch'. In Tamil, 'pakkam' or 'pakam' can be roughly intrepreted as 'stretch' or 'segment' and 'madi' means 'bends' or 'curves' (applicable to clothes in most cases). The tamil equivalent sentence would be "மடிப்பு நிறைய இருக்கறதால தான் இது மடிப்பாக்கமோ?". Not sure, if there are people representatives from this stretch who are really aware of these bad things about their neighborhood and doing something for the betterment of the same. On a personal front, I wrote a couple of email petitions to Chennai Corporation but the good devils over there didn't bother to write a reply even. Some one told me that it falls under panchayat and not under Chennai Corporation. I am trying to see if I can get hold of the respective Panchayat and submit a petition to them to mend these maladies for the welfare of the people.
The worst thing in Madipakkam is that during monsoons, the area gets inundated like anything that transportation services are literally cut. During acute monsoons even boats are summoned to serve the region. Some one has even recorded a video of this during the previous monsoons and shared across over here.
With all these cons on one side, there are some good things to speak about Madipakkam too. Perhaps as the Tamil proverb goes where there is a big slush, the beautiful Lotus blooms from there ("சேற்றில் பிறந்த செந்தாமரை போல்"). It is also said that Lordess Mahalakshmi (The Lordess of Wealth)came out from Thirupparkadal only after some of the most cruel things came out. Some of those entities were: (1) Moodhevi (The Lordess of Impoverishment) (2) The World's Worst Poison (Alakaala Visham). Perhaps, Madippakkam represents this history and reminds us only after wading through all these tussles and hassles, one would be able to witness the bliss.
Let us see them too.
- The beautiful Sri Ayyappan Temple in Sri Ayyappa Nagar.
- The street next to Sri Ayyappan Temple has been named as Sabari Salai.
- Sri Oppiliappan Pattabisheka Ramar Temple (Ram Nagar), Madippakkam

There was disappointment for some of the Premier League's big guns as the season got underway, while holders Manchester United were made to scrap for three points. Reigning champions United managed to bag a maximum haul with a 2-1 win at West Brom but only after a Shane Long equaliser gave them a scare. Elsewhere, Arsenal and Chelsea dropped two points at Newcastle and Stoke respectively, with both encounters ending in goalless draws.

A bit of writer humor, courtesty of my agent Rachelle Gardner.
A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell. She decided to check out each place first.
As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes."Oh my," said the writer. "Let me see heaven now."
A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes."Wait a minute," said the writer. "This is just as bad as hell!"
"Oh no, it's not," replied an unseen voice. "Here, your work gets published."
A writer comes home to a burned down house. His sobbing and slightly-singed wife is standing outside.
"What happened, honey?" the man asks.
"Oh, John, it was terrible," she weeps. "I was cooking, the phone rang. It was your agent. Because I was on the phone, I didn't notice the stove was on fire. It went up in second. Everything is gone. I nearly didn't make it out of the house. Poor Fluffy is--"
"Wait, wait. Back up a minute," The man says. "My agent called?"
Introduction - Boy, are we all different! The world is colored by a vast array of personalities, opinions, and interests. Aren't we glad we are not all the same--dull...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.

any good points on soya milk
i so enjoy my soya milk but have heard bad press results ,is there anyone out there thats got good points please, i am trying dream rice milk with vanilla , but now thats haveing bad results , if we cant have cows milk what can we have
I found I had to try different brands. Some put a lot of flavoring (malt, sugar, etc) in them which seem to upset my stomach. I finally settled on loving Silk Unsweetened. I also like their chocolate-for a special treat I pour it into a durable plastic drink container and freeze it. Take it to work and as it thaws and is icy it's like a cold milkshake. I can't eat any dairy. I like the taste and feel of soy versus rice or other drinks. It has a lot of protien and calcuim too. Sure, none of it tastes like milk but I don't care.
I have no digetive problems with soy, especially this brand. Some peopel get a lot of gas from soy. I think it's a good source of protien and helpful at feeling full for a snack when on a diet.
I don't know what kind of bad press you got but I think it's better than milk. Dairy has as many articles saying it's not good for you.
Good luck!

hi thnks for your reply where can i get loving silk products . havent seen any in england ! the bad press was not to have soya if got thyroid trouble , but like you i love the stuff !!!!!!!!!
Have you tried Goats milk, yogurt, and butter, I like it as much as cow's milk and I think it's helping me, I'm stopping the butter as it's pale in colour and putting me off, so I'm having PURE soya spread which is dairy free.
I use Silk soy milk. I noticed a difference from cow's milk right away. I'd like to try the chocolate flavour for a treat!
am from UK and get silk so ya in big sainsburys stores i use so good milk soya and its ok

She was fine with the doctor but didn't care so much for the 5 shots she had to get. She made sure to let us know off and on during the ride home, but once we got home, she must have forgotten because she was her normal self the rest of the day.

Last week, people posting comments about the lack of Canada's second official language – French – at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics on websites of major news organizations carrying the story. Suddenly, the words "COMMENT REMOVED" began mysteriously filling web space once held by someone's comment.
From the Canadian government-owned and operated Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), to the privately held newspaper The Toronto Star, to many other big names in Canadian media, comments started disappearing.
Private companies have been retained by some media outlets to moderate the comments left on their web sites for what they call "illegal, invective, needlessly profane posts, or inanely offensive commentary."
Granted, the ability for anyone, anywhere, at anytime to go online, and anonymously post whatever happens to pop into their head at the time of seeing something online can produce provocative, and possibly even offensive feedback.
But isn't that part of what makes the free-for-all wild west of the Internet . . . well . . . uh . . . er . . . the Internet?
Yes, we're bound to come across comments from people with less than a full deck of cards, and some of these comments may be just as far flung, and may even offend the majority of the population.
But who are we to decide what does and doesn't appear on the net?
In the case of some of the major media outlets, looks like they didn't want to answer that question either – they farmed out that mega-huge responsibility to a third-party company to do it for them. Maybe they figured if they weren't directly involved in the so-called "moderation" of their websites, then they couldn't be held accountable for the censorship which naturally would follow.
Which raises another sticky question – just who's rules dictate what is and isn't fit for public display? When you hire a third-party company to determine this, in many ways you give up the right to tell them how to do their job.
What if that third-party company has clients whose interests they want to maintain – say the International Olympic Committee?
Then even comments which may not really be all that offensive may be removed, just because they are negative comments about the Olympics.
Sounds very much like when China held the Olympics, and they banned media outlets, and actually cut off their Internet and phone access when they reported things which the Chinese government just didn't like.
Funny, how when that happened, the first to stand up and scream about it were the very media outlets that suddenly lost contact with their news teams in China.
Now it appears the tables have turned, and it is the very same Canadian news media censoring people from saying anything bad about the Olympics here in Canada.
Perhaps the Canadian media needs to be reminded about their experiences in China during the last Olympics? But then again, the real victim is us all – because when the media starts to censor itself, the next logical successor to do the same, will be governments and other private corporations.
And then free speech won't exist anymore, not online, not on the street, not anywhere.

Photo: Richie Lubaton
Hey everyone!
For this month's Dancer In The Spotlight, I wanted to feature my friend from Vancity, the talented Tony Giroux. Originally from France, Tony came to Canada in 2005. He's only been dancing for five years, but has been able to gain some amazing experience in the dance world. In Vancouver, he is currently a part of Project Soul, run by Kim Sato, as well as a smaller crew called Kinesix.
But the most exciting news I heard from him just a couple weeks ago was that he was going to be dancing on stage with Rihanna at the 2012 BRIT Awards...How crazy is that?!
The show was on February 21st, in London, and I caught up with him via Facebook chat while he was there! Read a bit about his experience:
How did you land a gig with Rihanna?
TG: I luckily landed this performance through an audition that took place in London, UK. It was actually an audition through an agency, therefore private, but a friend of mine told me about it and decided to crash it anyways.
How were rehearsals?
TG: Rehearsals were intense! We had two full days (eight hours) and two half days (four hours). One tech before the show and a run-through on the day of. The process of it was definitely tiring, but an amazing experience.
Could you describe your experience there? (Both in London as general and at the Brit Awards)
TG: My experience here has been amazing. London is a big city and I love it! It definitely is a really expensive city and it is a bit hard to move to a city where you don't know your way around or anybody. But I did the move with one of my best friends (Richie Lubaton) and that made everything much easier and better. As for my experience on the Rihanna job, it has been a true blessing as well. Most importantly, the people I met on the job had amazing energy and personalities.
What was the atmosphere like at the Brit Awards? It looked amazing!
TG: The atmosphere was so hype! All the dancers I was blessed to work with were all amazing and enthusiastic. When the performance was almost coming up, everybody got together and hyped each other, singing and dancing, it was quite a sight to see. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I am so grateful to have been a part of.
How does the dance scene over there compare to the Canadian dance scene?
TG: The dance scene in London, from what I have seen, is quite different than the Vancouver scene. There are two sides to the London dance scene: the work and the underground. I could go on forever talking about the two, but briefly, since there is work in this city for dancers, focus can become about figuring out how to book a job rather than training as a dancer. On the one hand, the underground scene focuses on the craft and is driven by so much love for the dance in itself. I believe both scenes are amazing as I try to be part of both.
Vancouver on the other hand is community driven, and people dance for the love of it. Vancity has so many showcases where dancers perform and share for the love of it, as funding unfortunately is much more scarce. It truly is an inspiring city for its talent.

Check out the performance here:
Also check out his awesome choreography!
Anyways, best of luck over there in London, Tony!

Gotcha! Will Getcha!Gotcha!, directed by Jeff Kanew, starring Anthony Edwards and Linda Fiorentino.
There is not much that can be said for the genre of film commonly called "coming-of-age movies." They seldom provide any revelations about life in general or coming-of-age in specific. However, when well done, they are often very entertaining. Such is the case with Gotcha!, a Jeff Kanew film previewed at MIT courtesy of LSC last Wednesday.
Anthony Edwards (Revenge of the Nerds) plays Jonathan, a college student whose skill at `gotcha' far outstrips his way with women. `Gotcha' is a hunt-and-kill game played with airguns ("assassin," for those of you from south of the Mason-Dixon). Jonathan's luck changes dramatically when he goes to Paris for a school break, but not entirely for the better.
Enter Sasha (Linda Fiorentino, Vision Quest), the mysterious courier who likes "young wirjins." She captures Jonathan's lust if not his love and leads him on a memorable European vacation -- one that even follows him home.
While this movie makes no effort to take itself seriously, it passes up most of the obvious opportunities to display infantile humor or flash skin. Also, the movie's ability to entertain is not hampered by the scriptwriters' ignorance of some of the more rudimentary rules of spycraft. They did manage to write in some very funny situational dialogue. They also managed to leave out the grisly scenes that seem to have become obligatory in any movie that offers the slightest chance to include such gore.
Gotcha! is definitely not a Le Carr'e thriller, but it is a very enjoyable teenage fantasy.

Charlotte is officially weaned. It's been over a week since she last asked to nurse. She'd only been breastfeeding at bedtime for the last couple of months--plus the occaisional early morning nursing session when she'd wake up around 5am and want to snuggle in our bed. She'd skipped a few nursing sessions over the last month, but usually ended up making up for them with night-and-morning sessions soon after. But then, about 2 weeks ago, I got her ready for bed and we sat down in the rocking chair next to her crib, and she just cuddled up in my arms, sucked her finger, and immediately fell asleep. She did the same thing the next night. By the third day I was starting to get pretty uncomfortable, and she actually wanted milk. That was the last time. That she'd been slowing down on her milk intake has helped me feel physically comfortable--I still see milk in the ducts sometimes, so I know I'm not exactly "dry", but havent' been engorged at all.
Charlotte's appetite in general has really dropped off the last couple of weeks. They say that this is normal as babies approach 2 years old (she's nearly 21 months now), as their growth rate slows. She stopped demanding constant snacks from the time we get home after work/daycare right through dinner, and doesn't always eat a complete breakfast before leaving the house in the morning (and arriving at school for another complete breakfast). Last night, she even mostly skipped a snack and then refused dinner (steak even!) until nearly bedtime (at which point she devoured most of a sandwich).
She is also still wanting lots of snuggles, including her favorite snuggle spot--my chest. She will actually move my hair and any necklaces away so that she can get the most cheek-to-chest contact and rest her head up under my chin.
I already miss the closeness of breastfeeding her, but it's time to move on, I guess. She's acting less and less like a baby and more and more like a little girl all the time. She's also letting her daddy take a larger role in the bedtime routine, which means that I'll be able to do other things in the evenings sometimes without worrying about her. I also don't need to worry about her jealousy of my nursing a future sibling, or about whether I'll be comfortable enough to continue breastfeeding a toddler during a future pregnancy (while I was pregnant with Charlotte, if anyone came within about 5 feet of my chest, I thought I'd scream...).
I am glad that she still needs her Mommy snuggles though.

One thing about my children that I am thankful for is their ability to deal with Izzy. Rarely, do they complain that Izzy is annoying. Amazing considering they have a two year old brother that wants to do EVERYTHING they do. Izzy cries when they go to school and often will cry during the day when he can't play with Tori or Christian on demand. Izzy misses his siblings and I know they miss him too. They are always so kind to him. They find him entertaining and funny and are always coming up with new games to keep him busy.
Last night was a hoot. Christian began the conversation like this:
Christian: "Mom, where's the doll that I was scared of when I was little?"
Me: "What doll?"
Christian: "You know, the one that wears makeup and acts like he's drunk or on drugs."
Me: "Oooohhhh! You mean Pee Wee Herman?"
Christian: "Yeah, that's the one!"
Me: "Why do you want Pee Wee?"
Christian: "I have a game that I thought me and Izzy could play. He's going to love it!"
And Izzy did............
Christian took the doll and propped him up on Izzy's car. Christian then proceeded to crash Pee Wee Herman down several steps on to the marble entry. Izzy found this so entertaining that he burst in to giggles so infectious that the three of us were lying on the ground holding our stomachs and crying tears of joy.
Christian and Izzy then devised all sorts of different positions for Pee Wee Herman on the car. Backwards, upside down, arms interlocked on the steering wheel. They also crashed Pee Wee in to every solid object in our living room, family room and kitchen. The entire time, bursting with laughter and enjoying one another's company. Pee Wee's smile never left his face.
I loved Pee Wee Herman's character! He was a symbol for silliness and adventure and innocence. Those three traits that my children possessed in a night of fun!

It's been a few days...
Right now I'm thinking good thoughts for Elizabeth and her Dad, hoping that everything turns out ok...
Many thanks to Rich for fixing up my electric guitar and bass, they're both sounding great and having them in good working condition has already made recording more enjoyable.
Work has been ok, we hired 2 new people on Friday and one of them quit after his 1st day, the other one seems like she'll be very good. So I'm blaming the one that quit on his own questionable emotional stability, rather than my meager skills as a person of authority. But I suppose that either thing could be the actual culprit.
Tonight Katie was over when I got home from work. I enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table with her and Jeannie and waxing philosophical on Ralph Machio, cat anuses, and ebola. With G&T's, of course.
Today I thought I would try and write a list of my favorite things for tonight's blog entry. I think, however, I shall just include one of my favorite things: a hot bath when it's chilly in the apartment and it makes me want to not get out of the bathtub.
My thoughts seem pretty scattered this evening, both in the head and in the blog.

Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy, and StupidBy Denis Leary
[In this essay, JT will discuss how Denis Leary uses humor to create social commentary.]
"This is not a book for the faint of heart or the politically correct or the weak or the extreme right wing or the left of center leftist Democrat or nuns or any other members of any organized religion or New York Yankees fans.
I am warning you- I am not here to make you feel all warm and fuzzy or superior to everyone else or all soft and gooey inside. I am here to debunk and declassify and otherwise hold up a brutally honest mirror to our fat, ugly, lazy American selves.
I am here to explain how we can and must thin the herd and extricate the stupid and eradicate the obese and take Rush Limbaugh's head and make a bong out of it.
Senators, psycopaths, fence-sitters (all three of those may sometimes be the same person), celebrity a--holes (hello), presidents, centerfielders, centerfolds- everyone is up for grabs here.
Because I'm sick of it all.
I'm sick of low self-esteem and fake fat-suit-wearing female talk-show hosts and extreme makeovers and Cats the Musical and cats in general and steriod-laden home-run hitters and Paris Hilton and Grey's Anatomy and Reese Witherspoon movies and Paris Hilton's himbo boyfriends and celebrity rehab and Dr. Phil and Terrell Owens and almost anyone else you can think of.
This country- including you and most of the people related to you by birth or marriage or both- is populated by beings who have been so blessed for so long that they have become almost completely immune to any interests other than their own.
Open a-- - insert head.
THAT is the mantra with which most of America lives each and every day." (Leary, pg 2)
Thus begins comedian Denis's Leary's self-help book/memoir. Throughout the entire book, Leary uses humor to create social commentary on what he feels are the roots of some of the most prevalent social problems in American society today. These "roots" range from poor parenting and selfishness to racism and being "politically correct".
Towards the begining of the book, Leary combines bad parenting with selfishness by saying:
"My kid is the size of an out-of-shape NFL offensive lineman, has what within two months might become a full-blown Fu-machu mustache and is already smoking two packs a day and watching internet porn even though SHE is only 12 years old.
Do I put her on a diet and make her start working out?
F--- no.
I sue McDonald's because they make sh---y, hormone-and-chemical-filled food that she eats every single day three TIMES a day because I'm very very busy living my selfish extended adolecent life and don't have time to
a. cook her normal food.
b. monitor her free time.
c. stop smoking pot and drinking so her easiest sources of alcohol and marijuana dry up." (Leary, pg 3)
The theme of selfish parents and bad parenting occurs repeatedly thoughout the book, hailing mostly in a chapter about child stars gone astray due to inattentive parents. Leary frequently cites selfish parents and their ways as the cause of many of our societal problems. In the memoir portion of his book, he speaks frequently about his Irish immigrant parents and their method of "saying no"; he credits them with providing him with the necessary tools for becoming a healthy, mostly-functioning adult. His thought process seems to be that children who aren't taught self-dicipline become as selfish as their parents and contribute to an already faltering American society. Leary's tone comes off a bit strong and over-exaggerated at certain points for nothing more than comic effect; but his message remains clear. It manages to come through his over-the-top perspectives on issues such as these.
Leary also creates social commentary by directly speaking about modern politics; he creates page-long rants on some of the most prominent figures in the American two-party system. He refers to George W. Bush as "George Bush, Jr.", which is suggesting Bush is immature or perhaps below his position; he speaks on Rush Limbaugh who, as stated previously, he believes Americans should "take his head and make a bong out of it"; he also writes a lengthy section dedicated to the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal. As Leary's writing tends to generally be, he overexaggerated and overblows many issues for the sake of his comedy style, but his meaning is, once again, obvious. Through his humor, Leary comments on the current state of politics. He suggests that Americans need to better choose candidates from both parties and retake and reevaluate their government. Leary also indicates that these political representatives are a reflection of the general population and their selfish ignorance; that Americans have become unaware of what is really important.
Leary also creates social commentary on racism. His chapter entitled "We'd Hate You Even If You Weren't Black", although it seems to be one thing, is actually his humorous stance on the ignorance of judging people based on race or color rather than character. Leary speaks against racism many times throughout the book:
"You wanna build a wall to keep the Mexicans out? Fine. Who's gonna build the wall? Where are we gonna get our cheap Mexican weed? Who's gonna host The Dog Whisperer?" (Leary, pg 3)
Although this statement is meant to be funny, he is subtly commenting on one of the most prominent branches the racism that exists in America today. Racism is a common theme in Leary's book; throughout its entirety, he mentions racial stereotypes and insists that they are true:
"Racial and ethnic stereotypes exist because they are TRUE. For instance- don't tell me the Irish don't love to drink. I AM Irish. We invented whiskey, for crissakes. You know what whiskey means in Gaelic? Water of life.
I rest my case.
Of whiskey.
On YOUR politically correct g--dam lap." (Leary, pg 8)
Leary's attitude seems to be that if Americans were to accept all the differences between races and cultures, the climate of racism might change for the better. He attributes these problems to being "politically correct" and trying to hard to please everyone at once. However, Leary also says in the memoir portion of his book that he was taught by his father as a child that "a--holes come in every color", and that he doesn't judge based on race. By mentioning these somewhat differing perspectives, Leary's meaning is that no one should be judged solely on race and that accepting the positive and negative in every race can only be beneficial to Americans as a whole.
Leary's book, for all intents and purposes, is a comedy book, and he tries very hard to be funny and maintain his comedic style through his writing. However, at the same time, it's through this attempt at humor that Leary creates some very obvious and very precise social commentary on the modern American society.
Suck on This Year: LYFAO @ 140 Characters or LessBy Denis Leary
[In this essay, JT will discuss how format and syntax are used to create social commentary.]
Denis Leary's Suck on This Year: LYFAO @ 140 Characters or Less is comprised entirely of "tweets"; a posting on the viral online site Twitter. It's an interesting format for a book, considering there's no real main idea or theme; the book is simply a compilation of random comments that resemble some of the top headlines of 2010. The book consists of portions like the following:
"TSA conducting groin checks. Sen. Larry Craig's been thru 19 times already."
"Sarah Palin: Excellent arguement for serparation of church and brain."
"New Jersey worried about oil residue on beaches. Not from Gulf Spill. From cast of Jersey Shore."
"Jessica Simpson says she only brushes her teeth 3 times a week. Guess she gets dizzy moving her head side to side."
"Man arrested w kilo of coke in chunk of bologna. My bologna has a first name and it won't shut the f--- up."
"Facebook founder pledges 100 million $ to improve Newark public schools. Mayor plans to spend it on yellow crime scene tape."
It's statements like these that really define Leary's writing style; the subject and focus of most of his writing tends to be on American society and pop culture. This particular "tweet" format is not necessarily a usual one for an entire book, but it is the one Leary chooses considering this subject matter. Through this format and the brief syntax used in the 140-character limit, Leary creates social commentary.
The format of the book creates social commentary mainly because it is written to resemble the headlines they are formed after. One of Leary's main themes is the idea that the media has become more and more diluted and empty, with less heavy-hitting headlines than, perhaps, 10 years ago. By writing the entire book in this format, Leary is providing the reader with a very familiar sense of the current media and then surprising them once the content of the "tweet" or "headline" is realized. Leary is subtly commenting on the current state of the American media and poking fun at their everyday headlines.
The syntax used ties directly into this. The brief syntax that is written contributes to the "headline" format of the book. Because the statements are so brief and not complete sentences, they are more likely to resemble news and contribute to Leary's objective of heckling the American media outlet.
Leary's second book is no more than a quick, 10-15 minute read. With that being said, an obvious point is to be had in spite of it. Leary once again uses his particular writing style to create social commentary.

Stanley Grove Primary Academy has been named as a winner as part of this year's The Big Draw, the world's largest drawing festival. The international festival, which began in the UK in 2000, involved over 400,000 people across 1,800 events in 26 countries this year.
Stanley Grove Primary Academy, in Longsight, was recognised in the festival's annual awards scheme, taking home the Creative School Award for an unprecedented second year. Responding to this year's 'It's Our World' theme, Stanley Grove hosted an art installation event entitled 'The Story of Manchester – Past, Present and Future'.
The installation involved students from across the school working together to create a miniature paper city using images from Manchester past and present, as well as pictures of current Stanley Grove pupils to represent the city's future. The installation, which covered over 16 sq ft, was inspired by renowned artist Yun-Woo Choi's cityscapes created entirely from used magazines.
Phil Mellen, Principal of Stanley Grove Primary Academy, said: "To be the first school to be recognised with this prestigious award for two years running is a massive achievement for both our staff and pupils. We're extremely proud to be able to involve our pupils in diverse projects and the way they have worked together to create this unique installation is truly fantastic."
Stanley Grove Primary Academy is a member of the Bright Futures Educational Trust. Bright Futures, which counts schools at all age groups across the North West amongst its membership, is dedicated to providing a world-class education for its students through diverse opportunities as well as a traditional curriculum.
Dame Dana Ross-Wawrzynksi, CEO of Bright Futures Educational Trust, said: "I'd like to congratulate Phil and the team at Stanley Grove Primary Academy for their inspirational integration of art into the curriculum. The Big Draw installation is clearly an exceptional project and one that has deservedly been acknowledged by an international audience."

I found (and bought) my wedding dress yesterday! I can't tell you anything about it, obviously, but it's so pretty and it makes me feel pretty and I think that Brian is really going to like it. And it was WAY under our budget. In fact, I even bought a veil and STILL managed to be significantly under out budget.
When I tried on the dress, I didn't know how much it cost. And when I realized that it was the dress, I looked to the consultant and asked her how much. This was when I was waiting to hear the answer:
And THIS is when I heard how inexpensive it is:
In fact, I exclaimed, "I'll buy TWO!" (I didn't.)
I'm very happy. And it's a good thing that it has to be ordered because if I came home with it, I fear I'd be wearing it now. And everyday until September!!!!
Another awesome thing that happened this weekend is that Brian proposed to me again. The first time when we were in Disney he proposed with a special Disney ring. On Friday he took me to the restaurant we went to the night we met and while I was looking at the drink menu, he slipped the box onto the table, so when I put the menu down, I saw it. Needless to say, I was very excited and I feel pretty lucky. What girl get TWO proposals and TWO rings? Not many...
So now we're almost set for wedding planning. Just a few more things to hammer out and pick, and we'll be done. Which is nice, because then we can just sit back and relax and enjoy the year without worrying about deadlines and to do's.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Mr Gandhi, whose family is the pivotal force of the Congress, told students "this is how India works" when he was asked about dynasty politics.
Modi is likely to address the concerns over the state of the Indian economy and is all set to list the achievements of his government in the last three years. "Look at the huge corruption while the Congress was in power", Shah said at the party's national executive meet in Delhi. "There was no political discussion during the meeting", state BJP sources said here.
He said the PM aimed at taking BJP party beyond elections. The party also supported government's stand on the Rohingya issue.
Briefing reporters, Union Minister and BJP leader Piyush Goyal said in his speech, the BJP president condemned the "politics of violence" in CPI-M led Left Front ruled Kerala and Trinamool-ruled West Bengal. "The Prime Minister said that contesting election is just one of the several responsibilities of a political party and we should use this opportunity to ensure that democracy goes beyond the elections". The national executive on Monday thanked the Prime Minister and finance minister Arun Jaitley for accomplishing two "great achievements" of demonetisation and implementing GST.
Shah explained that the campaign was successful because loyal party workers were spending at least 15 days at the booth level; in some instances, he added, it was even as long as six months to a year. "While the PM is entitled to make sanctimonious and preachy statements about the BJP being an instrument of mass welfare, the fact is BJP is nothing more than an electoral instrument predicated on polarising and dividing society for electoral gain".
The BJP has already started preparing for the 2019 electoral battle.
"UPA didn't take a single step against black money and corruption; obvious their leaders will be uneasy over our measures against it", he said. "Now they do not know how to behave as Opposition", he said.
"PM said sometimes Opposition uses harsh words when there is no specific allegation; harsh language can not be a substitute for substantive charge", Jaitley said.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all I want to thank Mr. Cooper for his passionate defence of this bill. I certainly appreciated his reaching out to me in a phone conversation to talk about some of the finer details of the bill. I too voted for this bill at second reading because I agreed with the principle. I don't think there's a person in this room who denies that what happened with Constable Wynn and Shawn Rehn wasn't a good thing. It was a problem. It's a failure in the way things currently operate.
I too have independently given my full and legitimate consideration to this bill and to all the witness testimony we've heard and the briefs that were submitted. I've also consulted with caucus colleagues who are expert lawyers and with people outside of the caucus in the legal community as well. Weighing what I have seen, witnessed, and read, the evidence in my considered opinion is stacked against this bill.
I do want to say, however, that what happened to Constable Wynn does not.... We can honour his memory. This does not have to be the end of the road for honouring his memory. I sincerely think that what happened in this particular issuance does not warrant a legislative solution. I think we've heard from many witnesses that there is plenty of room for administrative solutions, whether it's through more resources for our justice system, making sure police records are timely and up to date in every part of this country, or even giving more educational opportunities to crown counsel to learn from this opportunity. I don't think we should end the road at this particular issuance.
Now, the Minister of Justice has met just recently with her provincial colleagues. I'm glad to see that this meeting has finally occurred, that the Liberal cabinet has finally acknowledged the crisis that is in our justice system, because the Jordan decision was a long time ago. I think Mr. Cooper's criticisms of the justice minister are valid; I share many of them. There have been vacancies in our courts for far too long. The legislative agenda of this government, particularly with justice bills, seems to be in tatters. It has taken 18 months to get bills forward on marijuana legalization, on impaired driving laws, and the zombie provisions of the Criminal Code. I have to ask myself what the cabinet, particularly the Minister of Justice, has been doing all that time, because there are some very important bills sitting on the Order Paper that have not yet come to second reading debate.
If I may impart some advice to my Liberal colleagues, the next time you have the opportunity to speak to the cabinet, say that there are several very important justice initiatives that can wait no longer; that we need to see properly funded resources for our justice system, whether it's in legal aid, appointing members to the bench, or providing for more administrative services in courtrooms.
We also need, though, to see this legislative agenda put forward so that we can start debating it, because if you look at the remaining timeline we have in Parliament, June 23—the last possible day we have to sit until September—is fast approaching. I would say that it's time to roll up our sleeves and really get to work on some of these pressing issues.
While I will not be supporting Bill S-217, then, don't think for a minute that this is the end of pressuring this government to get to work on these outstanding justice issues.
