Page listing Divorce Notifications from Canada Gazette 1889
Courtesy Collections Canada
The Canada Gazette turned 170 years old on October 2. Why is this important? Does anyone know what the Canada Gazette is? Well, for those of you who are not govdoc nerds, it is the official newspaper of the Government of Canada and has been published since 1841. So, why should we care? Well, like some government documents it can be kind of, (how do I put this nicely), dull. But like many government documents it contains all kinds of unexpected and valuable information that can help researchers and genealogists find that elusive next bit of info.
Yes, the Canada Gazette contains information about rules and regulations that govern our lives, but it also contains all kinds of good stuff about people. Did you know that until 1968, to get a divorce, Canadians had to petition the Senate where a special committee would weigh the evidence and then pass and Act of Parliament granting the divorce? The intent to divorce had to be published six months in advance in the Canada Gazette and two newspapers from the district where the petitioner lived. So, if you suspect that great grandpa had more than one wife, you can check to see if he was a bigamist or a serial monogamist. The online version of the Gazette is searchable by name or keyword.
You would actually be shocked at the number of genealogists who find more than one marriage for one of their ancestors. And the often don't find the divorce documents. As I said in an earlier posting, when you do genealogy, you have to brace yourself for the unexpected. And sometimes that means using resources that you may not have thought of. I always like to try out new sites by running the names I am researcher through the database. When I tried this time, I found that two of my relatives had declared bankruptcy, that an uncle of mine has an unclaimed bank balance and a member of the American branch of my family was given a visa exemption. I also found some land allotments and some company information.
Sources such as this can also be wonderful resources for finding out what was going on in the country at a given time and what was on the minds of Canadians and their elected representatives.
If you are really interested in the history of the Gazette, you can have a look at 160 Years of the Canada Gazette. We have a copy at the Central Library in our Government Documents collection on the third floor.

Ogden Grain Elevator, 1974
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 1185
Sometimes even the ugliest structures evoke a feeling of nostalgia. I felt very sad when the Robin Hood elevator came down in 1973. It had been a landmark from my childhood – I liked to see the jaunty Robin as we made our way downtown. I was impressed that he was also on our flour bag at home. Nice, warm fuzzy for such a cold, concrete structure, eh? Its destruction netted 27,000 tonnes of rubble that was cleared away to make room for the new Gulf Canada Square. Admittedly, there is not much that can be done with huge concrete tubes, in the way of repurposing, but it is still sad to see these landmarks go.
The Odgen Federal Grain Elevator had that effect on a many people, as well. No less a person than Le Corbusier discussed the Dominion Grain elevators in his publicationToward an Architecture. He speaks of them as "not pursuing an architectural idea, but simply guided by the results of calculations (derived from the principles that govern our universe)… [they] stir in us architectural emotions, thus making the work of humanity resonate with the universal order." (p. 106). Well, I guess that explains it. I was responding to the universal order when I cried at the loss of Robin Hood (I'm going to go with that explanation, it sounds like I know what I'm talking about). The illustrations of the elevators included in Toward an Architecture were considered so beautiful (or something) that they were reproduced as postcards. Years later, Yousuf Karsh would photograph similar elevators in Port Arthur, treating them, he said "just like cathedrals."
The Ogden Elevator had an interesting history. Normally these huge concrete terminals were built in port cities. The prairie elevator, with which we are all familiar, was the tall wooden structure situated every five or so miles along the rail line. Those elevators, the prairie sentinels, definitely evoke warm fuzzy feelings. But the Dominion Elevators were designed for the much larger volumes of terminals and ports. The Dominion/Federal/Ogden elevator was designed by C.D. Howe and built in 1915 by the Dominion government to work in conjunction with similar elevators in Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, as well as with port terminals such as Port Arthur, Vancouver and Port Nelson. It would provide storage and cleaning facilities for 2.5 million bushels of Alberta grain and act as the shipping centre to the ports. It was a marvel of construction for its time. It was powered by electricity from the City of Calgary, channeled through a substation on the site to power the 53 engines required to work the machinery; there was a state of the art dust collection system installed and it could handle the loading of 36 railcars per hour. It cost one million dollars to build this massive concrete structure. It was such a wonder that it featured in a publication put together to promote business development in Calgary.
But what do you do with 56 cement silos? It was no longer efficient to run the elevator and its location in the heart of the city made it difficult for farmers to get their grain there. The Calgary Heritage Authority has been working with the owners of the site and has photographically recorded the interior and exterior of the building so there will be a record of its existence. But the old gal herself is gone. I read it took six seconds to bring her down.

Residents of Glenbow Alberta, ca 1911-1913
Doreen Morden Family Archives
We have been helping and, frankly, watching in awe, one of the regular researchers who frequents the local history collection. She is working on a reconstruction of the town of Glenbow, a town that very few people have heard of. It was the centre of a quarry, which provided sandstone for several prominent buildings in the province. The town was five miles east of Cochrane on the north side of the Bow. The land was not really fit for farming as it was on a bench over the river but keen eyes noticed that in the outcroppings were seams of sandstone. Various attempts were made, starting in 1905, to set up a quarry to exploit the resources of the valley but it wasn't until 1908 when an American, Chester de la Vergne, bought the property. He had wealth that had come from the family's refrigeration business and soon he had excavated a town site, which eventually included a school. A post office was in operation from 1908 to 1920. De la Vergne loved the area and established the Glenbow Ranche as a home for him and his family. He built a magnificent house on the property.
At its peak, Glenbow quarry was thought to employ 500 men. By 1909 things were looking very good. A grain elevator was built in 1910 on promises that a bridge would be built over the Bow to connect the farm land on the south side with the town on the north side. But by 1912 the boom that had fueled the prosperity of the Glenbow quarry had bust. Building ground to a halt and there was no need for the fine paskapoo sandstone that had made Glenbow's fortune. The bridge was never built so the elevator stood useless until it burned down in 1915. De la Vergne tried to start a brick making industry in order to give work to his employees, but this, too, was destined to fail. People were forced to leave the town, to look for work elsewhere. Buildings were removed or burned; equipment from the mine was sold as scrap. Three large homes, built by optimistic acquaintances of de la Vergne's lay abandoned for many years and in the 1970s de la Vergne's own house, empty for many years, was burned to the ground. Eventually, the Glenbow land was purchased by E.L. Harvie for farming. The land has since been donated to the Government by the Harvie family for use as a Provincial Park, but Glenbow the town has ceased to exist.
Our researcher's task is to look for information about the town and the people who lived there as part of a volunteer effort to map the old town and quarry. Because there is so little left of Glenbow, the researchers are relying on information gleaned from any resource they can get their hands on. They are searching for the names of people who lived in the town, in hopes of finding as much information as they can. This is where serendipity has come in. (Although, serendipity does come after much hard work J)
Following a clue provided by the information on Glenbow in a local history, our researcher pursued the name of a woman whose child was put up for adoption after she died in childbirth. Using cemetery transcriptions, vital events records, online sources including Ancestry and Rootsweb, she was able to find contact information for a descendant of one of the family members. This person had a photo of some of the denizens of Glenbow standing in front of a building. That is the photo above. What we are hoping is that one of you may recognize someone in this picture. The more people that can be identified, the better chance there is of finding someone who has information. If you think you recognize anyone in this photo, please let me know. I will pass the information on to the researchers. You can post your information as a comment below (or you can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com)
If you are interested in finding out more about Glenbow, you can check out the local history Acres and Empires either in print at the Calgary Public Library or online through Our Future Our Past. You could also think about attending a talk on February 28 at the Chinook Country Historical Society's monthly meeting at Fort Calgary at 7:30. Brian Vivian and Susan Caen will be talking about the town site, the quarry and the area surrounding. (Check out the information here - click on 2011-2012 Monthly Program Details)

Exterior, Millican-Ogden Branch, 1980s
Calgary Public Library Archives
Next year is the big 100th anniversary celebration for Calgary Public Library. On January 2, 1912 we opened our doors to the public and have been going strong ever since. Our first branch was opened in the next year, October 1913, in Crescent Heights. It was a very popular branch, as all of our branches have proved to be. This month, two of our branches are celebrating anniversaries, Glenmore Square, which turns 25 and Shawnessy, which is 10.
Branches have been a very important part of the library system. Our first Head Librarian, Alexander Calhoun, believed that one central library could not serve the already widespread population of the city. Crescent Heights was a logical choice for a separate branch as it was cut off from the city by the Bow River. There were bridges spanning the Bow but the population, which was about 10,000 at the time, could not always easily reach the city centre. Remember that the magnificent Centre Street bridge which now spans the river, was not finished until 1916, the bridge that they used to get across to the city centre was the rickety "McArthur" bridge, which would eventually be washed away in a flood.
Calhoun was a great believer in bringing the books to the people. In 1914 he opened a reading room, aimed at the unemployed, in the Rex Theatre. In 1915 he sent library discards donations solicited from the public to the YMCA reading room, the Sarcee Military Camp and at Victoria Barracks. Actual branch expansion was halted until the 1940s when the Inglewood, Hillhurst and Glengarry branches were opened.
Our celebrants, Glenmore Square and Shawnessy are relative newcomers, reflecting the expansion of the city. Glenmore Square branch started its life as the Millican-Ogden branch in 1986 and Shawnessy opened its doors in 2001. Both branches are hosting celebrations in honour of their birthdays and would like to invite everyone to come and visit and celebrate with them. There are programs and storytimes (and probably cake) at both branches. Check out the schedules on our website under Programs and Events on the left side of the page.

It is Archives Week in Alberta. It is not widely publicized and many people may shrug and say, "So what?" I know a lot of people think of archives as dreary, black and white kinds of places but they are, in fact, filled with exciting and valuable stuff. The theme this year, Archives in Living Colour, was chosen to draw attention to the fact that archives are more than just dusty repositories for old paper – they are living and vibrant and have relevance for all of us. We've all heard the adages about keeping touch with the past – well, archives fulfill that role. They are the, often overlooked, keepers of our history. Just check out their virtual exhibit . It includes images from 23 archives throughout the province including the City of Calgary, Glenbow, the Museum of the Highwood and the Whyte Museum. You will also be able to view virtual exhibits from past Archives Weeks.
In particular, family historians and genealogists should get to know their archives. In addition to keeping documents that are obviously of use to genealogical research, such as older vital event records, church records and census, local archives often collect the papers of people who lived in the area. They also collect information about the area that can include municipal records, including documents relating to land, taxes and businesses. Old newspapers can be found in archives as can employment records. Some archives collect family letters and photographs, and even genealogies and family trees. It pays to know about the archives in the area that your ancestors lived – they can be a treasure trove of valuable information. Here are a few titles to help you find and use archives in Canada:

Judith Umbach Photography Collection, JU 060810-13
We have a number of very significant photography collections here at the Calgary Public Library. We have our Postcards from the Past, the Alison Jackson Collection and the Judith Umbach collection. Judith, who is a former Calgary Public Library Board member, a 'Living Book' in our collection, a heritage buff and a beloved customer, will be giving a talk about Calgary's built heritage using pictures from her own photography collection (which lives in the CHFH Digital Library). Inspired by another great advocate of heritage preservation, Alison Jackson, Judith has been taking pictures of Calgary's changing landscape for a number of years. Her photos of the implosion of the General Hospital and the building of The Bow, to name just two, are an important record of Calgary as it grows and will be a vital historical collection in the years to come. So, we would like you to join us for "Artist Within: History Under Construction" at the Louise Riley Library on Monday October 3 at 2:00 PM or at the Village Square Library on Friday October 7 at 1:00. The program at Louise Riley is a drop-in so you don't need to register in advance. We would like you to register for the one at Village Square, however, and you can do that by clicking here
You can also view the Judith Umbach Photography collection through the Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library, which you can find under "Books & More" on our website or by clicking here

My mother always cautioned me about looking too closely into my family history. She was sure I would find one of them buried on Boot Hill. This was a long time ago, of course, as evidenced by the reference to Boot Hill, but her caution was well intentioned and, for the time, when everyone wanted to be like everyone else, it didn't do to have family "buried on Boot Hill." Well, I ignored my mother and plowed headlong into family history research and turned up some very interesting things, none of which were particularly shocking, since I have a great tolerance for peculiarity and pecadillos.
I also have been working as a genealogy assistant for a very long time and have encountered the family stories of hundreds of people, so, in comparison, my family is boring. This is perhaps a privilege of my occupation – that I get to hear the stories of so many different families but one thing I have noticed and want to pass on to anyone interested in starting their family history is brace yourself. You are going to find information that you may not want to know. You know the Ancestry ad, the one about the grandfather's multiple marriage certificates, that is tame compared to the grandfather who had about eight different families. There was only one marriage certificate, however, which meant that gramps was a bigamist. In one family, it turned out that grandmother was purchased from her father for a horse and buggy. And I can't tell you the number of people who never married yet had children, who went to prison, who were found floating in the river, and on and on.
Many people accept these family stories with aplomb. There is actually a subset of genealogists who celebrate their black sheep (although the definition of a black sheep varies from family to family – in my family it was someone who married outside of the church) But every now and then I encounter a genealogists who is truly shocked and unable to come to terms with what they have found. There is a belief that people in the past were more moral and disciplined, that they followed the rules and, with a few exceptions, behaved in a much better manner than we do now. What I have found is that this is simply not so. Our ancestors swore, cheated, drank, cavorted and behaved badly. And I think that when we start our family stories we need to be prepared for the eventuality that our ancestors may have feet of clay.
Calgary's Sight Seeing Car
We are hoping to see millions (well, hundreds, maybe) of people out this Friday and Saturday for our annual Heritage Weekend. I have decided on the movies I will show for our Reel History lunch break. I will show a disc of slides from the General Hospital nursing school from 1956, a short featurette of the Midnapore Cycle, a play performed about the history of the area around St. Mary's College and a short presentation on the history of the CPR and one of the six dvds from the Family Tree Narrative series, this one on the Hungry Wolf family of the Blood Tribe. This will be a nice break from our other programs and will allow you to rest and eat your lunch.
The other programs I am especially excited about are the one on the Heritage Resource evaluation system at 1:00, the medical history at 2:00, the panel discussion about social media in a heritage world at 3:00 and the tribute to Hugh Dempsey at 4:00. To be honest, I am excited about all of the programs but I won't be able to come to the ones in the morning since I am running the Family History Coaching program in the genealogy area from 10:00 to 12:00. All you genealogists out there, pop on down for the coaching and stick around for the rest of the day. It's going to be fun. The morning programs that I will have to miss are the British Commonwealth Air Training Program and the lantern slides of Mary T.S. Shäffer. Both of these look great and I'm sorry I will miss them.
You can register for these programs (or at least the ones that require registration, some are drop-in) through the Programs link on our website (http://calgarypubliclibrary.com/services/programs-events/register-for-programs) or by calling 403-260-2620. We'd like to see lots of you down here. These programs are always fabulous and sometimes we even have goodies (not that I'm promising anything)
Oh, and don't forget that we are having a Heritage Matters program on the evening of Friday the 23rd. Matthew Siddons, a graduate of the U of C's Urban Studies program will talk about the legacy of five different cultural groups in the heritage of our city. It starts at 5:30, after the library has closed for the evening. We always have a lot of fun and learn a lot at these programs so I heartily encourage you to register and come on by.
Stephen Avenue Then...and Now
It is once again time for our Heritage Weekend. We had a wonderful turnout last year and are looking forward to seeing even more folks down here on Friday September 23 and Saturday September 24. This weekend features a great line-up of people who are involved in the heritage community in Calgary and the talks and programs promise to be interesting and thought-provoking.
We are going to start the weekend off on Friday evening at 5:30 when we will host another Heritage Matters program on the main floor of the library (and after-hours, too, so you can see what happens after the customers go home!) The topic will be "The Convergence of the World in the Last Frontier" by Matthew Siddons, a recent Urban Studies grad. He will discuss the contributions of several different cultural groups to the heritage of Calgary.
On Saturday, join us in the Dutton Theatre for displays, discussions, films and more. We will be hearing about the British Commonwealth Air Training Program, Calgary's historic resource evaluation system, medical history and how heritage groups are communicating in the age of Twitter. We are also hosting Reel History at lunch time. We will show short documentaries relating to the history and heritage of Calgary and Southern Alberta. Although this year we won't have the clack-clack of the actual film projector, this still promises to be a diverting lunch time pursuit so bring your brown bag and join us. As part of the "festivities" we are also launching a new season of Family History Coaching. Volunteers from the Alberta Family Histories Society will be on the 4th floor in the genealogy area from 10-12 on Saturday to help you with your genealogical challenges. (This program is a drop-in so you don't need to register in advance - but we ask that you register for the other programs, please.)
The final program of the weekend will be a tribute to the great historian Hugh Dempsey, on the publication of his memoirs Always an adventure. In the heritage community Hugh Dempsey is an icon. He has been a great author, advocate and mentor and there will be many people at the Dutton Theatre who want to congratulate him on his exemplary career and his latest publication. Please drop by and offer your best wishes to this legendary historian. (This is also a drop-in program so you really can just pop on by).
Always an adventure by Hugh Dempsey
You can register online at http://calgarypubliclibrary.com/services/programs-events/register-for-programs or by calling 403-260-2620.
We hope to see you there.
Part of the reason we are so happy to be staying in the East Village is that we will still be smack dab in the middle of a very important group of heritage partners. Some years ago we formalized our association with our near neighbours and history colleagues, the City of Calgary Archives and the Glenbow Museum, Library and Archives. We call ourselves the Heritage Triangle, because within the radius of a couple of blocks there sit three very valuable repositories of information for researchers. (Once we move, the triangle may need to be renamed – maybe we'll become the Heritage Line or the Heritage Ellipse) In the few years we have been actively collaborating, our affiliation has been very productive. We never hesitate to take advantage of our partners, in the best way of course. Each of us has wonderful and unique stuff and while we may covet just a little, we have also gotten to know the people and the collections so well that we know where to send researchers if we don't have what they need. This is a very efficient and effective way to operate and it provides a very good service to our customers.
Each of the organizations involved in the triangle has its own different and interesting stuff. Among the Glenbow's many strengths are an amazing collection of personal papers from individuals and families in Calgary and area, extensive data on Metis genealogy and an unrivalled collection of historic photographs of Calgary and Southern Alberta. They also have an outstanding map collection as well as directories from many different locales. You can visit the Glenbow site and see some of what they have to offer at www.glenbow.org.
Next door to us is the City of Calgary Archives (officially, the City of Calgary, Corporate Records, Archives.) Their mandate is to acquire, preserve and protect civic documents. Civic documents are the papers of people and departments of the City and its predecessors and organizations and individuals that have a close affiliation with the City. These can be of great value to researchers as they are the primary source materials for the administrative history of the city. The strengths of the City Archives collection include records relating to building research, such as records of tax assessments; records of official representatives of the municipal government such as mayors and aldermen/councilors and a whole swack of documents relating to the Calgary Winter Olympics. You can find the City of Calgary, Corporate Records, Archives online by going to the new, user friendly City of Calgary website (www.calgary.ca) and searching for Archives.
We here at Calgary Public Library are the last (but not least) leg of the Heritage Triangle. We have a wonderful collection of material in our Community Heritage and Family History Collection that is just waiting for you to explore. There is great material for historic research in other departments as well, such as our government documents collection on the 3rd floor. Some of the items in our collection are a complete run of Calgary Henderson's Directories and telephone directories, an extensive collection of local histories of Southern Alberta towns, historic newspapers, a complete collection of Canadian Census on microfilm as well as three great photograph collections, available online through our website. We also have a great staff who are always available to help you – and I can say that for our partners as well, having worked with them as a colleague and as a researcher.
You can see the Heritage Triangle brochure through the link right next to this posting or by going to http://tinyurl.com/3b4soch Do come down and visit us – ignore the construction – we would be delighted to see you.

Safety originally suffered injury in week two. Terry McCormick
Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard finished the season and won the Super Bowl while playing with six cracked ribs, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Pollard originally suffered a rib injury in week two against the Philadelphia Eagles and then re-injured himself in week 14 against the Washington Redskins. He missed the final three games of the regular season, but never disclosed how severe the injury was until after the Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers.
"It's tough dealing with pain," Pollard said. "For us as football players, we know we're going to go through it. At the same time, that's the name of the game. Six of them, yep. Hey, it's up to us to go out there and play and we did."

Working in the marketing industry makes you all too familiar with the great lengths and money spent by brands to attract the attention of children and build brand loyalty from a young age. But is the money and time invested always worth it? Does it pay off for all brands?
Cincinnati graphic designer, Adam Ladd, put brands to the test by asking his 5-year-old daughter Faith what she thinks of when she sees the logos of some of the world's biggest brands. The filmed content records her reactions and is adorable at the very least, thought provoking and provides a rare peek into how much we bombard young children with advertisements, labels and logos.
According to researchers based in America, the average three year old will recognise up to 100 brand logos – an astonishingly (albeit a little heart breaking) high figure, one that I can safely say I would never have matched as a toddler.
In the case of Faith, some of the world's most recognisable brands failed the test – the Olympics logo is humorously described as a "baby's toy", whilst Puma, Greyhound and Jaguar all feature cheetahs in their logos! And she associates the Google Chrome logo with a brightly coloured beach ball.
She clearly spends a lot of time in coffee shops with Mum and distinguishes the Starbucks logo almost immediately. She enjoys trips to McDonalds, describing the 'M' as being designed with French fries – I couldn't have provided a more literal interpretation of the logo if I tried. But her most obvious awareness comes when she confidently states, "that is the Apple store logo".
Apple's logo obviously doesn't have anything to do with computers, but they've created a brand around the logo that evokes such a strong connection it's instantly recognisable, even by young consumers. Which only goes to validating why Apple has taken over Google in the number one spot for world's most valuable brand.
Ladd's video has clocked up more than 1.5 million hits on YouTube, and prompted a UK version by London agency Grain. And yes you guessed it – Apple came up trumps here too.

Writer of What Dreams May Come and many classic Twilight Zone episodes.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer died yesterday in Memphis at 83.
Margaret Sullivan writes that the paper failed to capture his "adversarial spirit."
The booth where Tony Soprano sat with his family in the show's final episode was kept empty all night.
James Gandolfini was real. He was special. You could feel it.
Where the Wild Things Are, True Romance, In the Loop, and more.
Frank Sinatra once called him "the second best singer in America."
"We focus on the best, fun and happy things, and people want that."

He was simply counting on the fact that 99.9% of all sellers would not risk a negative feedback for such a low value item and simply issue the refund and it would have been a risk free and easy way out but I believe that taking the easy way out is not always the right thing to do and half the problems this country faces today is due to people doing just that taking the easy way out IMHO.
I do not think I will lose this case if it goes to arbitration for the following reasons, He has not responded back yet to my reply and I do not think he will because he realizes that his fairy tale of a story about buying a microscope on the 44th day and discovering the problem coupled with the fact he knows that I know he bought a different brand stylus of the same type the very same day is going to present problems for him if he continues, He even states I should resell it to another buyer after getting it back, this indicates there is nothing wrong with the stylus itself just that he did not like the sound of it as much as he does the other one he bought the same day.
Not sure he realizes that him stating the item was indeed new and showed no signs of wear hurts his case rather than helps it. I never claimed in my listing that it was going to sound good or even be without manufacturing problems, I only claimed it was NOS. Hence it is as described.
This is why there is a 14 day no questions asked warranty on these types of items so if there is a manufacturing problem or other issue a buyer can return it without risk or concern. I don't test these out with a cartridge and TT because if I did they would no longer be NOS but lightly used.

Marine Biology student gets unique work placement
Finding work placements which challenge our students is one of the key objectives of the Swansea Employability Academy. Whether around the corner or in another country, work placements can help to enhance students' skills and experience.
At the launch of the Academy, William Kay, a second year Marine Biology student, found out that he had been selected for a work placement as part of a university research team studying wildlife in Patagonia. This was a complete surprise for William!
William is passionate about marine diving birds, and he will have the opportunity to work alongside leading experts as part of a research team in the Southern Ocean

Party Recap...
last year when my niece was born
i saw a winter "one"derland party
and thought what a great party it would be.
so as her birthday approached, i suggested it to my sister.
with one twist...instead of the standard polar bears and penguins,
we would do huskies because amelia has a
husky brother and a husky sister.
for all the party details please check out my blog:

More than often these days, we see published, mostly in photojournalism, stories about the story rather than the story itself.

Be prepared!
A boy scout mentality is required for the programme and box office launch next week. Check out our four step plan to EIFF happiness.
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum
It's that time of the year when I get to start a few conversations in the newly-updated EIFF Web Members' forum and a few Google searches helped me set the ball rolling on this year's chat.
Cannes we kick it?
AD Hannah and fellow EIFFers are in Cannes on a mission, and they'll need energy and skill to survive the riotous Riviera fest.
Toy Story 3 set for the fest
As announced today, it's a huge thrill for EIFF to host the Special 3D Gala screening of Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 3 on Saturday 19 June.
Industry buzz
Now that press and industry delegate registration is open, I'm looking forward to the industry buzz that the film professionals create.
More success for Kells
Things just keep getting better for Tomm Moore as his enchanting animation, The Secret of Kells, has picked up yet another award.
The Illusionist announced as Opening Gala for 2010 Festival
We're delighted to announce that Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist will be the Opening Gala for this year's Festival.
Are you prepared?
'Remember, remember the first of June' may not be poetic but it's certainly prophetic, for this is the date when the programme is revealed.
One cool cat
This week's release of The Kreutzer Sonata has reminded me of an encounter with its star, the supercool Danny Huston, at the 2008 festival.
Monster vs Alien
Rifling through the film festival video archive we've stumbled across fantastic interviews with Hollywood big hitters Charlize Theron and Sigourney Weaver... which would you rather see as the next EIFFtv Classic?
Oscar® triumph for EIFF prems
It was a glittering night in Hollywood - and a happy occasion on Edinburgh's Lothian Road - as EIFF prems scooped statuettes on the biggest night in the film calendar.
The submissions countdown begins
There are only five days left for the budding Spielbergs or Soderberghs out there to get submissions to EIFF for the 2010 Festival.
Off to a flyer
EIFF has secured CityJet as our official airline, making sure that the stars destined for the 2010 Festival will arrive in style.
And the winner might be...
I'm not a gambling man but I'll be tempted to have a flutter on this year's Oscars®. If you want to win big then read on for this year's hot tips.*
World exclusive! No, honestly, it is.
We've discovered some hidden gems from the Festival video vaults, and will soon be showing exclusively online the first of our EIFFtv Classics series of interviews - the first feauring a great scot.
The horror...
It's that time of year... Halloween is nearly upon us and some of the horror flicks on general release are terrifying for all the wrong reasons.
Just like a sports fan who has an illogical fondness for a team and keeps an eye on their progress, I do much the same with EIFF films.
And now the end is near...
As I'm writing this there are just a few hours left until the last reel turns on a Festival film, and I'm reflecting on another great year.
Roger and me
The stars of EIFF 2009 have come in all shapes and sizes but Roger Corman is certainly the most influential of them all. I was lucky enough to grab an interview with him today.
Riding with Scor-zay-zee and Le Donk
It was a once in a lifetime experience for the EIFFtv crew yesterday, as we captured Scor-zay-zee and Le Donk in action.
The next big thing?
Each year at the fest, there's much fun to be had in guessing what 'the next big thing' is going to be, and I reckon a local production could be this year's hot ticket.
Bloggers unite
During a hectic first day of the fest, I finally got to meet my fellow bloggers, and our online audience are in for a treat.
In defence of Antichrist
When it comes to courting controversy, few directors have greater experience than Lars von Trier, but the Festival is right to screen the shocking Antichrist.
A special event for a special talent
In among the glitz and glamour of the Festival, there are moments which remind you that EIFF is, above all, about a passion for cinema.
Another dimension
With the announcement of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs at EIFF, I may be tempted to my first 3-D movie experience in 26 years.
A true local hero
Just occasionally reading about films inspires me more than watching them, expecially when it throws up an anecdote that makes me appreciate a filmmaker even more.
Big, brash and Bay
Checking over the films on general release during EIFF (well, we have to know the competition), one movie sticks out - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Dummies guide to planning your Festival
Every year I inevitably come across a lost soul at Festival time, dejected because they've missed out on a great film or an onstage appearance by their cinematic idol.
Superfly? You will be.
While doing some online research on the supercool blaxploitation pastiche Black Dynamite, I've stumbled across this year's must-have movie merchandise.

Indians cruise to 21 point win in opener
Sophomore Meghan Lewis drained a three pointer 1:15 into the second half to again draw the Norsewomen within four, 18-14.
But Garay ignited a 7-0 run with another trey to close out the third quarter and give the Indians a 25-14 lead.
"We made a small adjustment in the second half and got Michelle (Garay) going," PV coach Jeff Jasper said. "She has a sweet stroke."
Garay led all scorers with 15 points.
"It was a lot of nerves," Garay said of the first half cold spell. "I think we were trying to get settled because they switched defenses. But we got the hang of it, settled in and just took over in the second half."
Demarest missed some shots as the Indians figured out and broke down the Norsewomen's defense.
"They went to a match-up zone," said Jasper. "It took us some time to adjust to it. Though we got great shots out of it, you've got to hit those shots. There was a long period of time where good shots taken just didn't go."
Valley poured it on in the fourth quarter with senior Erin Smith scoring on a put-back, Garay draining a three and Petro hitting a jumper.
"Petro's a solid player and Dara (Liebeskind) is the brightest of players," said Jasper. "She has a great basketball IQ. She knows how to play."

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, think calming thoughts….and begin……
Nope, didn't work, so here goes….
International football can take a short walk off a very deep and never-ending cliff. But for good measure, just to make sure that it is suitably impaled, I want to walk a few paces behind it with an Acme Anvil. Attached to the anvil will be a Bosendorfer Imperial Grand Piano, having been purchased through reparations taken from the Football Associations account.
We learned yesterday, as if any of us were surprised, that Jack Wilshere will effectively miss the rest of the season through a hairline fracture in his foot. So yes, today's blog starts off with anger because it was a game that should not have been played at a time in the season that should be solely dedicated to domestic football. These frigging international bodies are getting their way this summer. Is t it enough that they take players from their domestic clubs and run them into the ground in the heat, then toss them back with little or no pre season before the real football starts? Aren't they happy with ruining a perfectly congested fixture list, that thy must wedge in another money-spinning tie against pointless opponents? England fans themselves said yesterday that they learnt nothing. But that's not the case, is it? They learnt how to lose a player through a useless football match that should have never have been crowbarred into the football calendar.
I hope Arsene loses his shizzle at his press conference today, because I would if I was him, losing one of his key assets and at such an important time. But what does Roy or the FA care? Jack will be back just before the end of the season so they're perfectly happy.
I only hope we don't find out today from Le Boss that more players are out (Kos most likely), because there's no doubting we've been dealt the harshest of injury cards this season. Just check out that injury league table thingy that exists. We've won that at a canter I tell thee. So for all the bluster and commentary about the strength in depth of the oil whores compared to our squad, it is us who are actually tested the most to see how we can cope. Oh well.
Today we might also get an intention on what sort of side Arsene will put out tomorrow. He will always roll out the cliches about putting a team out to win the game, but if you listen carefully to what he says, you can always read between the lines of his intentions. If he's talking about rotation, 'bigging-up' a specific player, then the chances are he'll make a number of changes. That might not be a bad thing of course, as it worked against Liverpool in the cup and after the performance of the weekend he would be justified in showing some players that they're not as secure as they think, but against an Everton side that ran us ragged at home earlier in the season it would pay not to completely overhaul the side. The FA Cup feels within our grasp. A home tie in the quarter finals against a good team and a good performance there gets us to a semi in which we'd more than likely face Moneychester City if we get through. But that's a whole other lifetime away right now, so we'll save those thoughts for another day.

Gonna get serious here for a minute...New Orleans - The Rest of the Story
Posted: September 07, 2005"What happened in New Orleans was the worst natural disaster in US history. What happened AFTER the hurricane was even worse...
No doubt that we will hear many hours of Bush bashing in the next few weeks for all that was wrong in New Orleans.
This my friends is one side of the story that isn't publicized.
What happened was an unprecedented natural disaster, bring out heroic responses of compassion, but also revealing the dark side of our society. The thugs cost more lives by distracting rescue efforts than even a week or more of delay could ever be held accountable for.
FEMA â?? Homeland Security?? Get real if you count to heavily on government for anything, you are sure to be disappointed.
The Mayor of New Orleans that's where the buck stops. It was his job to prepare his city to maintain their sump pumps (3 or 4 did not work)to evacuate and to protect his people. He held back on asking because he did not want to give up control. So . . . the buck stops right there.
(Note: Less than 12 hours after the hurricane hit, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had his hit piece on the desk of the New York Times, which was printed and delivered before the hurricane had even been 24 hours old! His father must be rolling in his grave certainly his Uncle John is who implored us to Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
An Unnatural Disaster: A Hurricane Exposes the Man-Made Disaster of the Welfare State
An Objectivist Review
by Robert Tracinski | The Intellectual Activist
September 2, 2005
It has taken four long days for state and federal officials to figure out how to deal with the disaster in New Orleans. I can't blame them, because it has also taken me four long days to figure out what is going on there. The reason is that the events there make no sense if you think that we are confronting a natural disaster.
If this is just a natural disaster, the response for public officials is obvious: you bring in food, water, and doctors; you send transportation to evacuate refugees to temporary shelters; you send engineers to stop the flooding and rebuild the city's infrastructure. For journalists, natural disasters also have a familiar pattern: the heroism of ordinary people pulling together to survive; the hard work and dedication of doctors, nurses, and rescue workers; the steps being taken to clean up and rebuild.
Public officials did not expect that the first thing they would have to do is to send thousands of armed troops in armored vehicle, as if they are suppressing an enemy insurgency. And journalists--myself included--did not expect that the story would not be about rain, wind, and flooding, but about rape, murder, and looting.
But this is not a natural disaster. It is a man-made disaster.
The man-made disaster is not an inadequate or incompetent response by federal relief agencies, and it was not directly caused by Hurricane Katrina. This is where just about every newspaper and television channel has gotten the story wrong.
The man-made disaster we are now witnessing in New Orleans did not happen over the past four days. It happened over the past four decades. Hurricane Katrina merely exposed it to public view.
The man-made disaster is the welfare state.
For the past few days, I have found the news from New Orleans to be confusing. People were not behaving as you would expect them to behave in an emergency--indeed, they were not behaving as they have behaved in other emergencies. That is what has shocked so many people: they have been saying that this is not what we expect from America. In fact, it is not even what we expect from a Third World country.
When confronted with a disaster, people usually rise to the occasion. They work together to rescue people in danger, and they spontaneously organize to keep order and solve problems. This is especially true in America. We are an enterprising people, used to relying on our own initiative rather than waiting around for the government to take care of us. I have seen this a hundred times, in small examples (a small town whose main traffic light had gone out, causing ordinary citizens to get out of their cars and serve as impromptu traffic cops, directing cars through the inte! rsection) and large ones (the spontaneous response of New Yorkers to September 11).
So what explains the chaos in New Orleans?
To give you an idea of the magnitude of what is going on, here is a description from a Washington Times story:
"Storm victims are raped and beaten; fights erupt with flying fists, knives and guns; fires are breaking out; corpses litter the streets; and police and rescue helicopters are repeatedly fired on.
"The plea from Mayor C. Ray Nagin came even as National Guardsmen poured in to restore order and stop the looting, carjackings and gunfire....
"Last night, Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco said 300 Iraq-hardened Arkansas National Guard members were inside New Orleans with shoot-to-kill orders.
"'These troops are...under my orders to restore order in the streets,' she said. 'They have M-16s, and they are locked and loaded. These troops know how to shoot and kill and they are more than willing to do so if necessary and I expect they will.' "
The reference to Iraq is eerie. The photo that accompanies this article shows National Guard troops, with rifles and armored vests, riding on an armored vehicle through trash-strewn streets lined by a rabble of squalid, listless people, one of whom appears to be yelling at them. It looks exactly like a scene from Sadr City in Baghdad.
What explains bands of thugs using a natural disaster as an excuse for an orgy of looting, armed robbery, and rape? What causes unruly mobs to storm the very buses that have arrived to evacuate them, causing the drivers to drive away, frightened for their lives? What causes people to attack the doctors trying to treat patients at the Super Dome?
Why are people responding to natural destruction by causing further destruction? Why are they attacking the people who are trying to help them?
My wife, Sherri, figured it out first, and she figured it out on a sense-of-life level. While watching the coverage last night on Fox News Channel, she told me that she was getting a familiar feeling. She studied architecture at the Illinois Institute of Chicago, which is located in the South Side of Chicago just blocks away from the Robert Taylor Homes, one of the largest high-rise public housing projects in America. "The projects," as they were known, were infamous for uncontrollable crime and irremediable squalor. (They have since, mercifully, been demolished.)
What Sherri was getting from last night's television coverage was a whiff of the sense of life of "the projects." Then the "crawl"--the informational phrases flashed at the bottom of the screen on most news channels--gave some vital statistics to confirm this sense: 75% of the residents of New Orleans had already evacuated before the hurricane, and of the 300,000 or so who remained, a large number were from the city's public housing projects. Jack Wakeland then gave me an additional, crucial fact: early reports from CNN and Fox indicated that the city had no plan for evac! uating all of the prisoners in the city's jails--so they just let many of them loose. There is no doubt a significant overlap between these two populations--that is, a large number of people in the jails used to live in the housing projects, and vice versa.
There were many decent, innocent people trapped in New Orleans when the deluge hit--but they were trapped alongside large numbers of people from two groups: criminals--and wards of the welfare state, people selected, over decades, for their lack of initiative and self-induced helplessness. The welfare wards were a mass of sheep--on whom the incompetent administration of New Orleans unleashed a pack of wolves.
All of this is related, incidentally, to the apparent incompetence of the city government, which failed to plan for a total evacuation of the city, despite the knowledge that this might be necessary. But in a city corrupted by the welfare state, the job of city officials is to ensure the flow of handouts to welfare recipients and patronage to political supporters--not to ensure a lawful, orderly evacuation in case of emergency.
No one has really reported this story, as far as I can tell. In fact, some are already actively distorting it, blaming President Bush, for example, for failing to personally ensure that the Mayor of New Orleans had drafted an adequate evacuation plan. The worst example is an execrable piece from the Toronto Globe and Mail, by a supercilious Canadian who blames the chaos on American "individualism." But the truth is precisely the oppo! site: the chaos was caused by a system that was the exact opposite of individualism.
What Hurricane Katrina exposed was the psychological consequences of the welfare state. What we consider "normal" behavior in an emergency is behavior that is normal for people who have values and take the responsibility to pursue and protect them. People with values respond to a disaster by fighting against it and doing whatever it takes to overcome the difficulties they face. They don't sit around and complain that the government hasn't taken care of them. They don't use the chaos of a disaster as an opportunity to prey on their fellow men.
But what about criminals and welfare parasites? Do they worry about saving their houses and property? They don't, because they don't own anything. Do they worry about what is going to happen to their businesses or how they are going to make a living? They never worried about those things before. Do they worry about crime and looting? But living off of stolen wealth is a way of life for them.
The welfare state--and the brutish, uncivilized mentality it sustains and encourages--is the man-made disaster that explains the moral ugliness that has swamped New Orleans. And that is the story that no one is reporting."
Where are they?
Posted: August 24, 2005Believe it or not, it is tough for me to find a date. Now, don't get me wrong, I have absolutely NO problem meeting women. My problem is finding a woman who likes the same things that I like. Obviously since I have this little blog here, I LOVE video games. I have ALL of the current gen systems and them some. I just bought a PSP, so I have them ALL. Except Gameboy or DS. Not much of a fan of those. Back on topic. Most women that are between the ages of 30-40 are not into the same things that I am: gaming, horror and science fiction films, writing, etc. My problem is, most of the women who are into these things I am not attracted to. In other words, I do not know ANY hot, female gamers, 30-40 years old, that live in Phoenix.
Now, maybe I am not looking in the right places, but when I meet a beautiful woman, with a gorgeous body, 99.9% of them DO NOT PLAY GAMES. Before you ladies start saying that I am shallow and other such nonsense hear me out. The woman does not have to a perfect body, but I have to be attracted to her. Personality only goes so far. I have women friends that have great personalities, but I am not attracted to them. Now, the women I HAVE met that enjoy gaming are either 19 years old, which is WAY to young for me, or they're my age, weigh 300lbs., have jet black hair, pasty skin and would burst into flames if they went out into the sun. I am sure these women have great personalities and are super human beings, I just don't find them attractive.
It would be great to find a nice, attractive woman, who likes some of the same things that I do, who doesn't look like Golum from lack of sun and doesn't collect hairballs that her cats cough up.
A letter to Jack Thompson
Posted: August 11, 2005I am writing this here because I could not find an email address for this guy. The email address at his website stopkill.com is no longer good. Hmmmm...is he scared? Anyway, on Tuesday an Alabama jury convicted 20-year-old Devin Moore for the murder of three police officers, despite the defense's claim that his love for Grand Theft Auto was to blame. I got to thinking because Jack Thompson's remark about the gulity plea was this: "What we're saying is that Devin Moore was, in effect, trained to do what he did. He was given a murder simulator." Typical to blame everyone else but themselves.
Mr. Thompson,
I absolutely agree that young children should not play these games. That is why they are rated M for mature. Granted, these games still manage to find there way into the hands of children. Who's fault is this? You say it is the fault of the compnay that makes the games. Unfortunately, the developer cannot control wether or not a child plays their game. Why don't you go after the parents who buy these games for their kids? Why don't you go after the parents who don't care WHAT their children play or watch? How about some stricter penalties for stores that sell mature rated games to minors? Why sue the developer and others, driving the price of software up and trying to get them taken from the shelves, when law abiding citizens such as myself and others play these games?
The recent conviction of the scumbag who killed three cops and his attorney trying to use the GTA defense, is just another example of people not wanting to take responsibility for their actions or themselves. Fortunately for EVERYONE, the jury didn't buy it.
Does violence in video games, movies, etc. have an effect on kids? I think it has an effect on them when their parents do not take the time to tell them the difference between right and wrong, spend time with them and nurture them like parents should. I for one grew up watching horror films. But you know what? My parents taught me the difference between right and wrong and I knew that sticking a chainsaw into someone's abdomen is against the law. Did I become a violent psychopath because of horror movies? Nope. I became a successful businessman and respect my fellow human beings. I still play video games as well.
We live in the greatest country in the world. Unfortunately, we require you to take a test to get a drivers license, but any IDIOT can become a parent. Thanks for taking the time to read my email. Have a great day and God Bless America.
This is the letter I wanted to send to him but I can't find an email address for him. We can thank all of the trial lawyers for suing tobacco companies because people smoke and get cancer, we can thank trial lawyers for suing gun manufacturers because people kill people and now we can thank Jack Thompson for suing the video game companies for people not taking responsiblity for their actions. This is the greatest country in the world but because of these trial lawyers, nobody is responsible for their own actions.

On April 8, 2008, DHS published an interim final rule that changed several key aspects of the F-1 optional practical training (OPT) regulations including the addition of a provision that allows for the granting of a one time in a lifetime 17 month STEM OPT employment authorization extension for qualifying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree graduates; a student is NOT eligible to receive an extension more than once, regardless of degree level. The extension can only be granted in one 17 month period; the period cannot be "split" into 2 periods. The employment start date on the new EAD card will be the day immediately following the expiration of the initial OPT employment authorization period.
The STEM Designated Degree Program List consists of Classification of Instructional Programs codes that have been designated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) degrees that qualify for the STEM extension if all other eligibility requirements are fulfilled. A student's degree program CIP code will appear in the upper left hand corner of page 3 of any I-20 issued after April 8, 2008. Please check the STEM Designated Degree Program List to see if you have a qualifying CIP code.
If you meet all of the eligibility criteria indicated above, please submit the documents noted below in pdf format via email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line, "Attn: STEM Extension Application."
After reviewing your materials and verifying that you have a qualifying STEM code, the Office of International Education will issue an I-20 recommending the 17 month OPT extension and mail it the address noted on your STEM Extension Request Form. A copy of this I-20 must be included in your STEM Extension application to USCIS; the I-20 issuance does not guarantee that USCIS will approve your request.
Compile all of the application materials:
You are responsible for mailing your completed application to the appropriate USICS Lockbox or Service Center that processes applications for your eligibility category or place of residence. Please note filing locations are subject to change; please confirm mailing address by checking the USCIS Website and pages 8-10 of the I-765 Instructions.
If approved, the employment start date on the new EAD card will be the day immediately following the expiration of the initial OPT employment authorization period.
As per the revised OPT regulations, you are required to submit an STEM OPT Update Report to me every 6 months during your OPT extension period (through Cap-Gap relief if applicable) confirming your :
Please also provide your SU ID number and your SEVIS number so that your record can easily be located.
Students on a STEM extension are allowed to volunteer, incidental to their status. This means that volunteer work is allowed but does not count as employment for the purpose of maintaining F-1 status
Item 11: Check "Yes." Indicate the USCIS Service Center that processed your request (e.g., Vermont Service Center) and indicate the date of your application (see USCIS I-797 receipt notice).
Indicate Granted—You must submit a copy of your EAD card with your application.
Item 17: Enter program name indicated on your diploma/transcript and enter E-verify information provided by your employer.

"Our revenue growth appears to be outpacing our ability to hire the talent we need," he said. Google increased its staff in the quarter to 3,482 full-time employees, from 3,021 at the end of December. from: [nytimes.com...]
I like this part: Eric Schmidt, Google's chief executive, warned investors yesterday that the company's high profit margins might come down. And he said the company planned to increase its capital spending sharply. But in an interview, he said margins were higher in the last quarter because the company simply could not spend money fast enough.
