Poland: Day 1!
So, I know a lot of this video was about me being awkward and nervous. I'm sure a lot of people might be wondering why. It's a bit difficult to explain, but I'll give it a shot.
Poland was very difficult for me. All of the other countries I went to I was fresh and adventurous and fun. In Poland, I was felt very heavy, very pensive, and couldn't enjoy it as I wanted to. That's not to say that I didn't like Poland. I loved it. I was exceptionally happy to be there. I just had too many emotions burdening me as well.
Last time I was in Poland was when I was 16 years old. I went there for a month to visit family. I stayed at my aunt's place most of the time. We'd go to Warsaw from time to time, and her husband would show me different historical places.
"This is the statue of Mr. Suchandsuch. It's very important. Do you know why?
"You should! You're Polish! You need to know history!"
"I don't care for my history."
And the conversation would end with him looking befuddled. What kind of a Polish man was I if I didn't care for my roots? Not a very good one, that's for sure.
At the same time, my Polish isn't great. I'm highly functional. I understand everything being said to me, but I don't know how to write in Polish, and my grammar is horrendous. I think in English and translate into Polish. My Polish is embarrassing to me. I speak it with my parents, but not with my brother and sister. My brother hates it when I speak Polish to him. My pronunciation is terrible. Better to speak English.
I know a few gyopos here in Korea. A gyopo is someone who's ethnically Korean, but didn't grow up in Korea. Some gyopos don't speak Korean fluently. I know many of them are treated not so kindly because they're not "fully Korean." They should speak the language! Hell, we get yelled at online for not speaking enough Korean, but we're not even Korean! Korean people that don't speak Korean? They get a tongue lashing from ajummas. Yes, I know that's not the case for EVERYONE, but this happens to many that I know. But that's not the point I'm getting at.
My great discomfort in going to Poland was that my identity as a Polish person was incredibly weak. Apart from being born to Polish parents, eating some Polish food from time to time, and speaking the language abysmally, I could barely consider myself a part of these people. My pilgrimage back to the motherland had me embarrassed and ashamed. I didn't want to disappoint all of the Nasties we'd meet there, all of whom knew I was Polish. I was worried most people would be like "oh. So…that's who we relate to? Umm…that's lame" I was so concerned that I'd let everyone down.
What hit me the hardest, and still hits me now as I write this, is how supportive and loving everyone was in the audience. Holy shit guise. The way Martina cried on stage in Sweden is how I was almost getting on stage. My voice quivered at some points and I had to stop talking. Seeing so many smiling faces out there when I felt so deeply that I didn't deserve it was something that was extremely difficult for me to process. Even now I'm finding this post very difficult to write.
This was also very special for me because of my parents. When they came to Canada they were very poor. Very poor. And I was such a shitty teenager, and constantly disappointing them. To be able to go back to Poland to a crowd of loving people made my parents so extremely happy and proud. Thank you for doing this, not just for my own sake, but for theirs as well. Thank you so much.
I'm gonna stop now before Martina sees me get emotional. She's busy editing Amsterdam and I don't want to disturb her. I'll leave this post with a link to the pictures from the event. For the Poland Day 2 video coming later today we'll post the rest of our Poland adventure pics.

Hey Simon, you are far braver than I, returning to Poland. My dad is Polish, mom is Italian, but she raised me. My last name is Polish, I have awesome hair, and I know some Polish food, that's it. I know other languages, and other cultures better than "my own" whatever that means. Sometimes it's hard to live up to "being Polish enough" or "not being Polish, etc., enough, but at the end of the day, you are you. People are going to judge you no matter what you do, that's their problem, not yours. Besides, you are who you are, and it seems a lot of us Nasties like you, Martina, and the rest of EYK. You must be doing something right! woop woop Polish high five!
Oh my gosh. I can't even imagine how many emotional feels Simon must be having reading all of these comments. I'm crying and they have nothing to do with me. May I dare to say that the Nasty fandom is the sweetest, kindest, most loving fandom I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. We love you, Simon and Martina!!!
I was waiting for this post. omg Simon, so many feels T_T
We are very, very, very, very (x100) sensitive about our history, so I understand how burden you must feel.
also I'm currently living in UK and seeing so many pierogi makes me feel so homesick (foodsick?) -
Oh. I'm from Poland and I've been on the fanmeeting. I've screamed for S&M, hugged them. And just a moment ago I read the post and I suddenly got emotional. Simon, we are PROUD that you are Polish! Never doubt it. Right now I just want to hug you one more time and have hope you'll never feel embarassed or ashamed visiting Poland again. I'm almost sobbing and my English is probably very shitty atm, so, just… That's who we relate to? HELL YES!
I'm really glad you were able to visit Poland. I have the same feelings when I return to Korea, because I'm adopted and speak Korean very poorly. Despite the fact that I didn't have an opportunity to learn it growing up, I still feel ashamed of the fact that I cannot connect with Koreans on a native level. And am usually too embarrassed to try. Luckily, like you, I met many open-hearted people that accepted me anyway. I hope you go back again and are able to enjoy it more. You post brought tears to my eyes. <3 화이팅!
I wanted to write something to cheer you up, but all I can do is just smile. I don't care what languge people speak, what food they eat, with whom they are. If you feel Polish, you are one. What you feel is the most important thing. You shouldn't be ashamed of not speaking perfect Polish becuase you spent most of your life in Canada. To be honest, your Polish is better than some young people's Polish xD What's the most beautiful is the fact that you care about us, about your country Poland, about your parents who are Polish. Maybe you don't know all those famous people from Poland (Do you think people who live in Poland know them? I don't think so…) Your heart is really beautiful, you are so good a person that you shouldn't even think that way. It makes me sad that you were so nervous and felt ashamed. We all love you. You make us proud! PROUD. Remember that!
You have never disappointed us. You make us happy, because of you we can smile and proudly say. Simon is related to us!
Please, don't worry about it anymore, and next time enjoy your visit in Poland. I'm sure Martina also want to see your smile.You can cry because our food and vodka are that good but not because of other things.
Keep your head UP (kkk) and be confident! Ask yourself a question. Who am I. And then you will know everything. Don't care about others, care about what you feel.
However, we Polish nasties, Polish people, are proud of you and happy we could meet you! Seeing you so emotional also makes me cry ;;; So smile, because Simon who smiles is the most handsome, the most cool and the most most beautiful one! : ) -
I was born in Poland and raised there as well, but since I moved to Germany couple of years ago I don't feel like Poland is 'my country' anymore…. speaking of history – Polish people had to fight for their country so that it exists on maps, and even if they lost their country they still had tradition, culture, history – that's why they are so proud and think of historical figures as significant for every Polish person to know them. I caught myself calling my 10-year-old brother 'stupid' as he didn't know who Mickiewicz was. Nowadays it doesn't matter what has he done, but Poland is a country that lives its history.
I admit – every time I'm visiting Poland the first thing I'm thinking is FOOD.
And don't worry about your Polish, Simon, I bet there will be people that will say 'wow your Polish is good' as for a person that doesn't use it as first language. I'm using a lot of German/English when I don't find any Polish translations. -
I'm Polish and I never thought about you in that way , I think that you're trying to speak in my native language makes me proud because you're trying and this is the most important thing you don't have to be perfect in that language , look at me my English sucks so much and I'm learning it like 10 years in school soo yeah I feel ashamed too but gues what we all just people we don't have no we can't to be perfect so don't feel that way , put your head up and be proud because you did great job :) For me you are 100 % Polish person no matter what . I'm glad that you visited Poland I hope that next time when you be able to came here you're going to enjoy your time more than this time and that you'll be more relaxed :) I'm a teenager too and I have done so many mistakes and this is your past Simon don't look back we're all growing up so don't be ever ashamed ! Because all Nasties are proud of you ! We all love you !
It's wonderful to hear you speak about this because too few people realize the trauma and complexities of immigration and how it affects people. I think its something more and more people (who have not experienced it) need to become aware of so they can become more understanding to people around them who are struggling with felling split between two worlds or disconnected to a part of themselves. Perhaps with more understanding it can be less difficult and more special to those who exist under the framework of immigration and multiculturalism. I hope those watching this can see how Simon's experiences is like others, and how those experiences play out in their home country.
As for a Pole living in China I'm experiencing something different. Seeing you guys going to Poland gave me a heartache from not being able to meet you even though you were visiting my own country. Now it's easier for me to go straight to Korea then back home… and yet being so close it's still quite impossible to just go and say 'Hi!' to you in person. It's fascinating how unpredictable our life is and where in time and space it puts us… Maybe I'll see you in China, huh? ;P
One of these days :D
Aww, that post was so heartfelt. I never used to feel this way when I was younger, but lately I've felt like I've been becoming less Chinese. :S So I guess I can kinda relate. ><
Simon, you don't need to worry about Polish community so much. In Poland young people are often disappointed and not happy about their motherland in general. Most of teenagers dreams about living in UK, US or Canada. Actually, i don't like the idea of living the rest my life in Łódź (it's right in the middle of Poland, about 100 hm frow Warsaw). Most of us, young people, don't feel the bond with our country, so we don't judge eaisly people like you. As glad as i'm that we share the same heritage with you- you're motherland is Canada. My little cousin was borne in Florida, and right now he speaks Polish fluently, but that's becouse he's with us almost every holiday! You should'nt be ashamed. As long as you won't bump into some mean pro catholic old ladies you will be fine. Pozdrowienia z Polski :)
Okey, I think you are taking this too far bringing in religion and speaking for 'most' of teenagers being 'not happy about our motherland'. I love my country, of course it' not perfect, but the way you wrote about it is just not nice. And for a record people here feel bounded with Poland. Telling Simon not to worry about Poland being judgy ..I think you are doing it wrong way. Simon in Poland we don't judge you for lacking language skills not because 'we are not bounded with motherland ' or hate it so much that we 'dream about moving to UK,US or Canada' but because Polish people are nice and understand the fact you weren't raised in here, moreover they would rather congratulate you for trying to speak your native language and not forgeting your roots than criticize you , so don't worry eat pierogi and chillax,polish nasties love you and Martina ;)
Geee, I knew it would be emotional for you to visit your motherland but I've never ever expected you would feel burdened ~ I am glad that you felt welcomed because you guise are really really welcome in Poland, in fact if you ever want to visit Baltic sea I live nearby and can provide accomodation >_< jk [no but seriously…. my grandma makes insanely delicious pierogi & kluski śląskie] ^^
I hope to see you again some time… I wonder if it will be you coming to Poland again or maybe me going to Korea? Anyways, have you guise listened to the CD yet? I guess it would have been more accurate if 'Jesteś szalona' was included but I hope you will like it regardless^^
Simon, I'm really impressed with how you were able to pull yourself together and go on stage. You didn't seem gloomy at all (maybe a teensy bit fidgety) and I would have never guessed what you were going through up there. It must've been difficult! I'm pretty sure you know that already, but we understand your situation and don't really care how good your Polish is. It's enough that you came to see us.
And let me tell you, both of you don't need any editing to be genuinely funny and entertaining, I was laughing the whole time. Thank you so much for that amazing evening!
Oooh Simon please don't cry. We,Polish Nasties, were all happy to see you and hoped that you and Martina had grat time visiting Poland. We can understand how you feel, we won't judge your Polish,don't be embarrassed :)
Hope you liked it here and please come back anytime, it would be great to see you and Martina again
ヽ(*・ω・)ノps. How do you like the poster i gave you? The big one with your and Martina's portraits,Ironman, Doritos, Spudgy, Meemersworth,TOP and lot of other cute stuff on it? :)
For me it's quite normal that you don't know that much about Poland. We're being learnt about it schools for at least 10 years and I can't call most of ppl that graduate from high school self-conscious Polish. And you grew up abroad. If you had spent most of your free time in library learning stuff about Poland than you wouldn't have had any childhood at all. So cheer up! we loved you before we knew that you are Polish and we will still love you despite the fact that you might suck at polish history (as most of polish, i dare to say). Personally I feel kind a proud of having such a cool fellow-countryman as you^^
p.s. thanks for all the times when you forced Korean celebrities to speak Polish, I had lots of fangirling moments because of that:)
I think you're in the same boat as a lot of other first generation kids out there. I'm a first gen Chinese-Canadian and like you, when I was young I understood 100% of whatever Cantonese was being spoken around me but when I spoke, I had the worst Anglo accent and my grammar was terrible since I just did Google translate in my brain from English to Chinese. People made fun of me (both adults and kids) of my terrible accent so much that I point blank refused to speak to you in Chinese if I knew you spoke even a smidgen of English. I only ever spoke in Cantonese to my grandparents (zero English) and my mom because she was militant about making sure I spoke Chinese. I remember the terror and embarrassment the first time I went to Hong Kong at 13 to visit my family over there. Since it was just me and my mom, I didn't even have my sister to speak to in English. I clearly looked Chinese and understood what was being said to me but I couldn't read and could only mumble in awful heavily accented Cantonese. My highlight of the day was the hour of English news I watched religiously for my English fix. But when I came back to Canada, all that embarrassment finally made me realize how useful it was to have extra language skills. I finally started genuinely practicing my Cantonese and finally became fluent after a year or so. Now I'm 23 and I can proudly say I'm fluent in Cantonese and proficient in Mandarin as well :) So don't fret Simon! You have a great heart and you can never disappoint your Nasties no matter what your Polish sounds like :) If you decide to study more Polish in the future, all Nasties, regardless of our nationalities, will be cheering you on!
Polish food looks so amazing!!
I feel ya, Simon. I'm in the same boat, but I never went back. I just kind of lost my European side to me. Never been back since I left over 10 years ago. I get weird when people ask me about my culture or "how do you say –" or the most painful: when they ask about my family.
Maybe one day I'll take a language class or something and go back. -
guys…why r u so awesome, no seriously how do u do it??????????? love u so much!! NASTY power^^
Simon, you did great on the fanmeeting! You could never disappoint us even if you'd say all the Polish words in wrong way. But actually, we understood everything you said to us! Meeting you guys was amazing, thank you for coming! I can't wait for the next video.

God knows I am still not finished with my first wallpaper (after like a month) and people like jaderabbit, Arrianna, and even LK seems to be able to spit them out like candy. Mad props!

Protests have continued across Egypt after a verdict was announced in a case over the deaths of more than seventy fans of Egypt's Al-Ahly football club in a stadium massacre on February 1, 2012, in the northern city of Port Said, during a brawl that began minutes after the final whistle of a match between Al-Ahly and opposing side, Al-Masry. 21 fans of the opposing side, Al-Masry, were given the death penalty in the court case, a verdict that must now be approved by Egypt's Grand Mufti. The verdict was handed down during a period of high tension across Egypt, one day after the second anniversary of the beginning of Egypt's 2011 revolution that overthrew former President, Hosni Mubarak.

The stolen gold and silver ornaments worth Rs. 40 lakh were kept inside a hole the thieves had dug in the wall of a building
Police on Saturday dug out stolen gold and silver ornaments worth Rs. 40 lakh from a building's wall, which 'thieves' had got cemented after hiding them inside it at Mangalhat.
The accused, Nandulal Singh and Shyamraj Singh, both in their mid-20s, entered the house of the latter's maternal uncle at Dilawar Gunj in Mangalhat using a duplicate key 11 days ago. Since Shyamraj had access to his uncle's house, he had duplicate keys of the main door and even the almirah where the jewellery was kept.
The duo collected gold and silver ornaments weighing 1.6 kg and 1.3 kg, respectively, West Zone DCP G. Sudheer Babu said at a press conference.
They kept the jewellery in a plastic box and went to Nandulal's house.
They dug a hole on the wall of the third floor of the building, which was under construction, and kept the box inside it before getting the wall cemented.
"Interestingly, the house is being built by Nandulal with the money he accrued through sale of gold and silver jewellery he had earlier burgled from two other houses in Mangalhat," the DCP said. Initially, police were unaware of the duo's involvement in the theft.
On learning that the duo was seen moving in the locality, police picked them up for questioning. During interrogation, Nandulal admitted to the offence and led investigators to his building under construction.
Police dug the wall and recovered the hidden jewellery.
The accused also revealed to police that they had burgled the house of one Udesh Singh in the same area three years ago.
Three weeks ago, they struck at another house in the locality. Curiously, even the house owner was unaware of the theft since the duo used duplicate keys to enter the house.

May 9, 2013 | Awesome AMP at a great price |
Review by
Brockfly from Wisconsin
I couldn't agree more with other reviewers. I hooked this amp up to pioneer components (6.5) inch in the front and JL 5.5 inch two ways in the back of my 2002 honda CRV. Also put a 10 inch shallow enclosed Pioneer sub rated at 200 watts. More than enough power to push everything with plent of gain to spare. Still tweaking but sounds really good. I shopped around and this seamed the best value for the money and got a 2 year warranty when buying the 4 gauge amp install kit. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Only gave 4 on durability because I have only had it hooked up for a week.

Hackman slaps homeless man
Comment on this storyPolice in New Mexico say Gene Hackman was acting in self-defence when he slapped a homeless man who had become aggressive toward the Oscar-winning actor and his wife.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the incident occurred Tuesday afternoon in downtown Santa Fe.
Police didn't immediately provide any additional details. A message seeking comment was left for Hackman's publicists at Guttman Associates in Beverly Hills, California.
Hackman and his wife have a home in Santa Fe.
The 82-year-old actor has won two Academy Awards and been nominated for three others over a career that has spanned five decades.
Hackman took the Best Actor trophy for his portrayal of Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in "The French Connection" in 1971, and the Best Supporting Actor award for "Unforgiven" in 1992. - Sapa-AP

The Ibiza International Music Summit 2014 (IMS, for short) goes down on April 16, and they've announced an impressive lineup of conversations between some superstar producers and composers that, frankly, we wish we could be in the room to hear. Created by Pete Tong, the summit is a three-day conference focusing on advancements in the electronic music industry, and features a variety of panels, performances, and presentations that act as the official kick-off to the consumer side of Ibiza's always raucous summer season.
IMS announced via twitter four "in conversation" interview panels, featuring Moby in conversation with David Lynch, Junkie XL with Hans Zimmer, Pete Tong with Giorgio Moroder, and Guy Gerber speaking with Sean "Puff Daddy" (neé Diddy) Combs. To be a fly on the wall for these conversations is a no-brainer — regardless of how you feel about the works of each of the names listed, they're all industry-leaders in one way or another, mostly in fields that they've pioneered on their own. Sure, we can imagine the conversations will be structured to an approved interview format – almost certainly more structured than what led to last year's now-infamous incident between management teams for Diplo and DJ Bl3nd – but the names listed will no doubt have some amazing stories to share.
It's a good look for IMS and we're stoked to see the conversations eventually – lucky for us, IMS keeps a well-curated video page, featuring each of the panel discussions from last year. Though lacking the same name recognition and wow-factor as this year's lineup, you can probably learn a few dozen things about the music industry from the likes of Diplo, Skrillex, and Russell Simmons if you give it the time of day.

Alaska Air Group Issues First Comprehensive Corporate Sustainability Report
SEATTLE, Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air inflight recycling programs diverted more than 800 tons of inflight waste from landfills last year, including some 230 tons of aluminum and 185 tons of paper. That's enough aluminum to build three new airplanes and enough paper to replace 3,100 trees. In addition to recycling more inflight waste, the two airlines have also reduced their carbon emissions by 30 percent per passenger mile since 2004.
These are among several accomplishments highlighted in Alaska Air Group's newly released 2012 Sustainability Report, which summarizes the company's progress on environmental, economic and social goals.
"Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air strive to be good airlines for our customers, good places to work for our employees, a good business for our investors and environmental stewards of our planet," said Brad Tilden, Alaska Air Group's president and chief executive officer. "Our 2012 Sustainability Report comprehensively documents our corporate social responsibility efforts and provides a platform for collaboration and continued improvement as we seek to lead the airline industry in environmental stewardship."
Air Group's Sustainability Report analyzes the airlines' efforts in 2010 and 2011 and is the company's first comprehensive report to conform to the Global Reporting Initiative, an international standard for triple bottom line reporting on performance, people and the planet.
Tilden said the airline chose a holistic approach to measuring and reporting its sustainability efforts. "Our goal is that this report will help us to manage our social responsibility performance with the same discipline we manage our financial performance, which will ultimately help us grow both airlines responsibly," he said. Key highlights of the report include: Planet:- Alaska and Horizon improved their fuel efficiency, resulting in 30 percent less carbon emissions in the environment (measured by flying one passenger one mile). These reductions were accomplished through a variety of measures—key among them migrating to exclusively flying the Boeing 737 and Bombardier Q400, the most fuel-efficient aircraft in their classes. Alaska Airlines topped the domestic airline industry in fuel efficiency (measured by gallons of fuel burned flying one passenger or one ton of cargo one mile).
- Alaska installed the first airport wind-turbine solar panel in Nome, Alaska.
- The two airlines operated 75 passenger flights powered by a 20 percent biofuel blend in November 2011. These flights demonstrated the viability and need for an adequate, affordable and sustainable supply of alternative aviation fuel. The biofuel project grew out of Alaska Air Group's involvement in Sustainable Aviation Fuels Northwest, the first U.S. regional group of its kind to study alternative aviation fuels.
- Flight attendants recycled 91 percent of all paper, plastic, aluminum and glass generated onboard Horizon flights and diverted 49 percent of recyclable materials on Alaska flights.
- Air Group achieved its financial goal of a 10 percent return on invested capital (ROIC) while earning record adjusted profits: $262 million, or 10.7 percent ROIC, in 2010 and $287 million, or 11.7 percent ROIC, in 2011. The company also met its target of growing 4 to 8 percent a year (measured by available seat miles) by expanding 4.7 percent in 2010 and 6.8 percent in 2011.
- Air Group paid its nearly 13,000 employees almost $1 billion annually in wages and benefits, and their success earned them $240 million in bonuses over the last three years (equal to an extra month's pay for most employees in 2010 and nearly that in 2011).
- FlightStats.com ranked Alaska Airlines No. 1 in on-time performance among major North American carriers in 2010 and 2011.
- J.D. Power and Associates ranked Alaska highest in customer satisfaction among traditional network carriers in North America for five years in a row (2008-2012).
- Alaska Air Group contributed nearly $12.8 million in cash and in-kind contributions to charitable organizations in 2010 and 2011. This included $427,000 in matching gifts to charitable donations made by Air Group employees and money donated to nonprofit organizations recognizing employee volunteer efforts ( $10 for every hour of service).
- Air Group spent $208 million with diversity-qualifying suppliers in 2010 and 2011.

I planted a cutting of a schefflera two months ago, and it has a growth with three small sprouts. I thought great! It worked! But as I was moving it I noticed it was very loose in the soil, and looking around there weren't any roots.
I suppose this isn't specifically a cutting, it has part of the root attached. Is there something I should do to ensure it continues to grow? I'm a bit worried it will just die if there are no roots ... |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm a newbie to this but since no one has responded to you yet (this forum has been slow lately) I will tell you what I have read. New growth does not necessarily mean roots have formed yet. New growth can come from energy stored in the plant so treat it with kid gloves preserving its moisture stores because it is actually still a cutting that has not yet rooted. I have a cutting of a schefflera also I am nursing. It is looking great too but no roots yet. Maybe someone else has more experience to know how long scheffleras take to root. Anyone out there? |
- Posted by little_dani 9, S. Tex Coast (My Page) on Sun, Sep 2, 07 at 11:10
I am not sure how long a schefflera would take to root, but I can advise you to just wait for roots. Often cuttings will put on new growth. I have seen Christmas trees put on new growth while decorated and sitting in a bucket of water, but they are not going to root. Schefflera will root however. Just leave the cuttings where they are, continue caring for them as you have been, and wait. It will be o.k.- eventually. Janie |
- Posted by gardeneric00 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 7, 07 at 15:23
Thanks for the info. I noticed the end of the cutting is rather dry and not much is happening there. The sprout occurred about 1" above the soil, and there is still 2" below the soil of cutting. Above the growth the stem seems to be dead/dying, which is probably why the growth occurred where it did. Is my cutting too deep, or too "long"? I noticed a small amount of fuzzy mold on the stem, so I removed the plastic covering to air it out, perhaps I don't need it anymore as long as I keep it misted periodically. Thanks for the help, as a newb to plants in general, I really appreciate the advice. |

The original story is linked here:
Intruder fatally shot in Rosedale
There are a couple of good lines in it. The follow up story was a little better so here it is:
Man unsure why he was victimized
Resident began sleeping with gun after shots fired at house
BY JASON KOTOWSKI, Californian staff writer
e-mail: email@example.com |
Wednesday, Nov 7 2007 9:05 PM
Last Updated: Wednesday, Nov 7 2007 9:08 PM
Steven Troy Stewart started sleeping with a shotgun after someone fired through a window into his living room last month.
He defended himself with that gun Monday evening, shooting at a man who broke through his front window carrying a gun and a gasoline bomb.
That man, Ulises Espino, later died, and three other men have been arrested in a plot to break into Stewart's Rosedale area home and burn it down, Sheriff's Sgt. Ed Komin said.
Stewart said he doesn't know the men or have any idea why he was targeted. Detectives don't know why either.
Alberto Torres, 18, Cesar Montoya, 23, and Jesus Delgado Estrada, 29, were arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, attempted arson and conspiracy, according to Komin. Torres also was arrested on suspicion of participating in a criminal street gang.
Torres declined an interview request from The Californian,but told KGET-TV 17 in a jailhouse interview that he and the other men went to Stewart's house intending to kill him. He said he didn't know why.
Each man was arrested on suspicion of murder because Espino died during a felony the men were attempting to commit.
Espino and Torres drove in one vehicle and Montoya and Estrada drove in another to Stewart's house in the 15000 block of Westdale Avenue, Komin said. Montoya and Estrada, who pointed out the house to the other two men, are brothers, and Espino was their cousin, according to detectives.
Stewart said he heard glass breaking Monday as he lie in bed and he grabbed his shotgun. He walked toward the front of the house and saw a man carrying a gun and a gas can with a fuse on it.
Stewart fired several rounds. Espino was wounded and drove away with Torres while Montoya and Estrada drove off in the other vehicle, deputies said.
The two vehicles later stopped in the area and the men called for medical help, Komin said. Espino died early Tuesday morning at Kern Medical Center and Torres was arrested.
Detectives and deputies from the sheriff's Special Operations Group served a search warrant at Estrada and Montoya's residence at 1825 3rd St., Apt. C on Tuesday and arrested the men. A large amount of money and two guns were seized, one of which was reported stolen in 2006, according to the news release.
Komin has said Espino was in possession of flammable liquid while breaking into Stewart's house and it appears the men intended to burn the house down. He said it appears the shooting was justified.
Opal Stewart, Steven's mother, said her son wouldn't hurt anyone unless he had to defend himself. She also said he doesn't scare easily.
"My son is one of the least fearful men you will ever know," she said.
Stewart stopped to talk while returning to his house Wednesday afternoon carrying a small duffel bag and a shotgun. He said someone shot through one of the windows in his house Oct. 7 and the round barely missed his head. Komin confirmed that someone did shoot at Stewart's house about a month ago.
Stewart has kept his shotgun close ever since.

People love "Bone". I mean, they're crazy about it. It's a shame then that it has never managed to get a film adaptation, despite living in the mires of developmental hell for quite a while now. The good news is there seems to be some new traction for the project, and the new stuff that's popping up is even impressive enough to have Smith pleased with what he has seen. After both Paramount and Nickelodeon swung and missed with the "Bone" property, the rights got moved over to Warner Bros. where several scripts have been tried out but the third seems to be the charm. WB wants to turn their latest take onto the character into a three part, computer animated, 3D film series, and they've even put together a four minute short to show off what it would look like. Series creator Smith told the L.A. Times' Hero Complex that he is, "actually excited about the movie for the first time in a long time." That's probably high praise coming from a guy who has reportedly waded through a ton of crappy film treatments of his baby.
Craig Brewer May Make That 'Tarzan' Trilogy You've Been Clamoring For
In Development By Nathan Adams on June 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentCraig Brewer isn't exactly a household name yet, but he's directed a few films that people know and like. He was behind Samuel L. Jackson chaining up a scantily clad Christina Ricci in Black Snake Moan, he helped Terrence Howard go from pimping to rapping in Hustle & Flow, and he's even done a couple episodes of cable series like The Shield and Terriers. But it's his upcoming remake of Footloose that has him in demand and fielding new opportunities left and right. That's right, he remade Footloose, and industry people are loving it and throwing offers his way. That's gotta be some good Footloose. So, given that Brewer now has a modicum of control over what his next project is going to be, what will he choose? He's going to go after his dream of course, his passion project; he's going to make a Tarzan movie. Warner Bros has been trying to get a new version of Edgar Rice Burroughs's vine swinging, monkey loving, battle cry yelling hero together for quite a while. Probably because Tarzan is a name of something that people have heard, so clearly it's a concept rife for another film treatment. While several attempts haven't worked out, it now looks like they may have found their man. Brewer has come up with a treatment for the character that will tell the story of Tarzan over not just one, but three films. And he's hoping to not only write the scripts, but make these movies his […]
Red Riding is a trilogy of films from the UK about a series of serial killings that terrorized Northern England from the late sixties on into the eighties. Like Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder and David Fincher's Zodiac, Red Riding is just as (if not more) interested in the dark machinations of the men surrounding the case as it is the mystery itself.

A federal jury in Billings this week convicted two Washington men of methamphetamine trafficking charges after law enforcement agents stopped their vehicle in Montana in 2012 and found more than two pounds of meth hidden inside.
The jury on Wednesday convicted Hector Magallon-Lopez, 25, of Toppenish Valley, and Cristobal Sanchez-Chavez, 36, of Union Gap, of conspiracy to distribute meth. Magallon-Lopez also was convicted of possessing meth with intent to distribute. The trial lasted three days.
Federal prosecutors said Montana's federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents were contacted by their counterparts in St. Louis, Mo., about Washington drug traffickers running meth to St. Louis. The St. Louis DEA agents intercepted several phone calls indicating that two men would be transporting a large amount of meth from Washington to Minnesota.
On Sept. 28, 2012, Billings DEA agents, along with Missouri River Drug Task Force officers, conducted surveillance near Three Forks and identified a vehicle occupied by two men.
A traffic stop by a Montana Highway Patrol trooper found the vehicle was registered to Magallon-Lopez and that it matched a vehicle that was described on a wire, prosecutors said. A wire allows law enforcement to intercept telephone communication with court approval. Agents tracked the vehicle with signals from a cellphone number from the wire.
Magallon-Lopez told the trooper he was going to Minnesota to find work at a restaurant, prosecutors said.
Agents took the vehicle to the Sweet Grass County's Sheriff's Office for a search by a drug-sniffing dog. The first dog identified the odor of drugs, but the dog's credentials had lapsed, so agents got a second dog, which also indicated the presence of drugs in the vehicle.
After obtaining a search warrant, agents found about 975 grams, or about 2.1 pounds, of meth hidden under the trunk area.
U.S. District Judge Susan Watters set sentencing for Nov. 20. Both men remain in custody. The defendants face a minimum mandatory 10 years to life in prison and a $10 million fine.

Armenian artist Shmavon Shmavonian donates piece.
Tuesday, March 18th will give people a chance to meet internationally renowned Armenian Artist Shmavon Shmavonian and join the Foundation for the unveiling of the painting he has donated to the Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. The unveiling will be followed by a wine, hors d'oeuvres and dessert reception and the exhibition and sale of Shmavon's fine art.
This donation is part of a growing healing arts program for Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. According to Providence Holy Cross, the purpose of the program is much more important than aesthetics. They say it is a vital part of their mission, helping to heal "the whole person – body, mind and spirit."
Sooner or later, most of us find ourselves in a medical setting, whether as patients, caregivers or visitors. Holy Cross believes that art transforms these typically sterile spaces into warmer, more humane places that nourish the sense of wellbeing, improve recuperation and boost staff morale.
In fact, neurophysiologists now accept that art, prayer and healing all come from the same source in the body. They are all associated with similar brain wave patterns and mind/body changes and are deeply connected with feeling and meaning.
The reception will be held at the North Building Conference Room at Providence Holy Cross on March 18th, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. RSVP's are expected by March 14th, and they can be made by calling 818.898.4600.

"When you're born, you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat." - George Carlin
Who says patriotism has to be dull? America's true greatness is a lot more interesting than red-white-and-blue bunting, tricorn hats, and golf on the moon. Our country was founded as a haven for the oddballs of the Earth - what is freedom if not the freedom to be bizarre? While the U.S.A. may not be the economic powerhouse it once was, we still lead the world in CDP (Crazy Domestic Product). Every day during Keep America Weird Week, we'll salute the nutjobs who've made this the freakiest nation on the globe as we count down the 50 Greatest American Weirdos. Today, meet numbers 50 through 41…
#50. Pete Parisi: My 13-year-old mind was blown by late-night encounters with a public-access headtrip called World Wide Magazine. A slouchy cab driver with a video camera, a mocking sense of humor, and dozens of bizarre friends, Parisi wallowed in the seedy, surreal side of St. Louis for 15 years. No corner of the city was too grimy for him to push his camcorder into, no local institution too august for him to make fun of (and be escorted off the premises by security goons who never got the joke). Too bad he missed the YouTube age...
#49. John Humphrey Noyes: "Free love" isn't some Swedish or Dutch import from the 1960s. The term was coined right here in America, by an expelled Yale theology student and Utopian socialist named John Humphrey Noyes. He founded the Oneida Community in upstate New York in 1848, a radical evangelical commune whose members shared everything, if you get my drift. Their heady brew of politics, sex, and spirituality alarmed the stuffy burghers of 19th-century America, and Noyes was eventually hounded into exile in Canada. But his son Pierrepont Noyes turned the Oneida Community's metalworking shop into Oneida Limited, one of the country's largest manufacturers of high-end flatware. It's a classic example of American alchemy: turning weirdness into gold (or at least silverware).
#48. John "Frenchy" Fuqua: Football historians remember Fuqua for his role in the Immaculate Reception, a controversial play that won a 1972 playoff game for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fashion historians remember him for his over-the-top disco-glam outfits, including fur-trimmed capes, cavalier hats, garishly colored jumpsuits, and a glass cane. His signature footwear: platform shoes containing live tropical fish. Of course the fish were color-coordinated with each day's outfit.
#47. Aaron Burr: Busted a cap in a fellow Founding Father, killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel in 1804. Raised a private army to seize Spanish territory in Mexico and start an independent nation - then told the Spanish that his real aim was to conquer Washington, DC. Fled to London after his treason trial to hang out with radical philosopher Jeremy Bentham. They don't make Vice-Presidents like Aaron Burr anymore.
#46. Doc Dart: In which the scion of a prominent Michigan banking family develops a screechy, squealing "singing" voice, starts a punk band with a bad word in the name, runs unsuccessfully for mayor of Lansing, opens a baseball-card store, records a solo album named after his therapist, attracts death threats from his neighbors by putting a huge anti-American sign on his lawn on 9/11/2001, warns the participants of an elementary school "fun run" to beware of anthrax, disavows his old band to the point where he refuses to speak their name, changes his own name to "26", and now rarely leaves his house except to feed the raccoons and deer who come to his backyard. Forget Charlie Sheen and Joaquin Phoenix. Doc Dart has done more genuinely crazy crap than every fake-outrageous celebrity combined.
#45. Gene Ray: The Internet was a potent channel for insanity before it was even called the Internet, but its potential wasn't fully established until Time Cube. This impenetrable theory - something to do with four simultaneous days happening every 24 hours - set a standard for Internet lunacy that has never been topped. Drop in anywhere at random in Ray's belligerent screed and you'll find grade-A, all-American crankery. "Evil Educated 'Singularity' Stupid - ignores the Cubic Wisdom of Wisest Human and The Greatest Thinker." "Academia teaches evil android singularity, displacing families with today's androids, passive, subsmissive, subservient & stupid." All good fun as far as it goes - but what if he's right?
#44. Carry A. Nation: A hatchet-faced, hatchet-wielding anti-booze angel from hell, Carry A. Nation (yes, incredibly, her real name) was arrested 30 times between 1900 and 1910 for smashing up saloons. Her legal bills were paid through the sale of souvenir hatchets and newsletters like The Smasher's Mail. She cheered President William McKinley's assassination on the grounds that he was probably a tippler. She met saloonkeepers with greetings like "Good morning, destroyer of men's souls." Nation died in 1911 after an ill-fated vaudeville career that included being pelted with eggs by a London audience, but was remembered long afterward in a waggish sign often seen in taverns: "All Nations Welcome But Carrie."
#43. Wild Man Fischer: Discovered in the late 1960s howling his tuneless "songs" on the streets of L.A. for a dime a performance, Fischer was adopted by musical eccentrics like Frank Zappa and Barnes & Barnes (of "Fish Heads" fame). But his own discography - including the first album ever released by Rhino Records - outweirds any of their more self-conscious attempts at freakery without even trying. A 2004 performance of "Monkeys vs. Donkeys" on Jimmy Kimmel Live proved that Fischer had lost none of his perverse charisma, and regained none of his fried brain cells.
#42. Charles Ponzi: Can there be a higher tribute for a con man than an entire con named after him? Carlo Pietro Giovanni Guglielmo Tebaldo Ponzi didn't exactly invent the scheme that bears his name. He just took it to new and audacious heights, defrauding investors of some $20 million. Ponzi learned nothing from the con's ignominious collapse in 1921. While his fraud conviction was under appeal, he traveled to Florida and launched a new land-fraud operation. After 12 years in prison, he moved to Brazil and eventually died there, penniless. But not before telling an American reporter he had no regrets: "(I gave) them the best show that was ever staged in their territory since the landing of the Pilgrims! It was easily worth fifteen million bucks to watch me put the thing over." Showmanship, chutzpah, and money for nothing: what could be more American?
#41. Maryjean Ballner: "If we understood fluent meow, our cats would tell us that petting is passé. Because your cat wants a massage."
Who are your favorite American weirdos? Come back tomorrow to meet ten more of the star-spangled wackjobs who have helped Keep America Weird!
Thrilled to see the guy from The Cruci.... "fornicates" in this. Their first album is a classic. One of those albums that a youngster silently thinks to himself, "Should I be listening to this? It's not gonna mess me up, is it?" *crosses fingers that Wesley Willis makes an appearance*

Ha, thanks! Yes, that first record warped young minds in the best possible way. As for the name, in polite company you could use Doc's preferred (and hilarious) euphemism: the Christmas Folks.
Probably worth looking up the "Let's paint and exercise" guy on Youtube. He's certainly up there with the cat massage lady.

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE include P.T. Barnum or one of his favorite pals on the list. PLEEEEEASE!!!
John "Humpfree" Noyes FTFY

If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
I have tutored many types of students - those seek more in-depth and more advanced topics on the subjects, and those who seek extra help so that they can restore their confidence in the subjects. My experience shows employing entirely different tutoring strategies work most effectively for different needs. For those needing to regain their confidence levels, I tend to find out what exactly weaknesses are first, And then help students fully understand both the concepts and techniques required by mental visualization so that they can catch up and achieve their goals in the least amount of time possible.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

"Why Only For Outdated Version of Firefox ?"
Can't think of a Pro for a addon/extension that will only work with an outdated version of Firefox. Current version of Firefox is v3.0.5 and v3.1 is just around the corner. Maybe works good with Firefox 2, but not good enough to down grade Firefox.
Apparently only compatible with outdated version of Firefox.
I know that there are a lot of users still using Firefox 2, but at some point it is time to move on. Maybe the software author will update this addon/extension to work with Firefox 3 in the future. In the meantime, I will continue to use "Tidy Favorites" which is a richly featured bookmark program that is an external program, not an addon or extension, but works seamlessly with Firefox.

I'm using it on version 3.0.5 without a hiccup. We've corrected the requirements section--the extension should work on v3.1 and beyond, once they come out.

Thursday, August 21 11:33:02
British retail sales grew in July at the slowest annual rate since November last year, while the government failed to make major inroads into a looming overshoot in public borrowing, data showed today.
The figures add to signs that Britain's consumer-led recovery might be starting to slow, and leave the government with a lot of catching up to do if it is to meet full-year borrowing targets in the run-up to May's national election.
Monthly growth in retail sales volumes unexpectedly fell to just 0.1 percent in July, down from 0.2 percent in June and bucking forecasts for a rise to 0.4 percent.
Annual growth in the volume of goods sold dropped to 2.6 percent, the weakest since November last year and again below forecast, despite prices falling at their fastest rate in almost five years, giving consumers more for their money.
Sterling dipped slightly against the dollar after the data, while British government bonds were unmoved.
"Today's release provides further evidence that economic expansion in the UK is slowing," said Rob Harbron, senior economist at economics consultancy CEBR.
"A more measured rate of growth is expected ... as households continue to face relatively sluggish real wage growth, the Bank of England starts to tighten monetary policy, and the government is required to make sharp fiscal cuts to bring the deficit under control," he added.
Government finances data showed an unexpected deficit in July for the second year running, continuing the weak start to this tax year, which is partly due to one-off effects but leaves the government reliant on a big upturn in income tax receipts to meet its fiscal goals.
Bank of England policymakers were split over raising interest rates for the first time in three years earlier this month, according to minutes on Wednesday.
The ONS said the biggest downward pressure on retail sales came from non-store retailing and petrol stations, and some economists said the retail data looked healthier once fuel sales and monthly volatility were stripped out.
Britain's consumers have been the main driver of the country's economic recovery which began last year, helped in part by low inflation that has eased the pressure on their spending power.
Wage growth, however, remains very weak and increased spending has been funded in part by households cutting back on how much they save.
Prices in stores fell 0.9 percent on the year after being flat in June, the biggest decline since August 2009, the ONS said. However household budgets are squeezed by higher prices for other goods and services, with the broader consumer price inflation measure rising by 1.6 percent in July.
A survey from the British retail Consortium earlier this month showed British annual retail sales growth quickened in July.
The ONS said public sector finances, excluding financial sector interventions, showed a deficit of 239 million pounds compared with a deficit 1.047 billion in July 2013. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a small surplus of 50 million pounds, as July normally sees big inflows of tax revenue.
"The government borrowing numbers are far more disappointing (than the retail sales data)," said ING economist James Knightley, adding that they will make the government's full-year borrowing goals hard to meet.
The government aims to reduce public sector net borrowing, excluding financial sector interventions and some other factors, by 9.7 percent to 95.6 billion pounds in the year ending March.
But borrowing on this measure for the tax year to date is 5.1 percent higher than the same period in 2013, largely reflecting a poor first three months of the fiscal year. For July alone, borrowing on this measure was down to 0.8 billion pounds from 1.6 billion in July 2013.
A government spokesman said the greater year-to-date borrowing was due to a different pattern of receipts compared to 2013, when extra revenue came early in the year from a deal to recoup tax evaded by British nationals with bank accounts in Switzerland.
The government said it was banking on a big rise in income tax receipts in January to help meet its goal to halve British borrowing as a percentage of gross domestic product over the course of a five-year parliament. (Reuters)

The 7.1-megapixel Canon Powershot A560 features full manual control, face detection and a 4x digital zoom.
Feature Set
As expected from Canon's Powershot range, manual control and handling are the key selling points of the A560, but coupled with a 4x optical zoom lens and a DIGIC III processor make it even more of an appealing proposition.
Of course, not everyone will favour the additional bulk of the body, but then again this camera isn't targeted at the masses, more the enthusiastic beginner. The camera sports a viewfinder, the layout feels comfortable and doesn't infringe on usability, while the feature set offers pretty much all that might be expected. The icing on the cake, however, comes in the form of face-detection technology and the processing engine, with the latter displaying a notable performance in terms of operational speed.

Taiwan's market regulator told financial institutions to respect Taiwan's dignity in marketing materials for cross-strait financial products, after China Construction Bank Corp. (939) referred to Taiwan as an "island."
Cross-strait market participants must uphold the principles of equal standing, in accordance with the act governing relations between Taiwan and mainland China, the Financial Supervisory Commission said in a statement today. Gretai Securities Market Secretary-General Huang Bing-jing said the bond exchange sent a letter to CCB's Taipei branch saying the reference "hurt" relations.
CCB is one of the first four Chinese lenders to sell yuan debt in Taiwan after banks were permitted to start holding deposits in the mainland currency this year. Taiwan has been ruled separately from China since the Nationalist party lost control of the mainland to Communist forces in 1949.
Construction Bank's Formosa bond advertisement "belittles Taiwan," the Taipei-based Liberty Times said in in a Dec. 11 front-page story that carried the headline: "Siphoning money and brainwashing."
The Bank of Communications Co., Bank of China Ltd. and the Agricultural Bank of China also listed their bonds on the Gretai exchange this week, with the four lenders raising the combined total of 6.7 billion yuan ($1.1 billion).
Taiwan started competing for yuan business with Hong Kong, Singapore and London in February. Chinatrust Commercial Bank was the first issuer of yuan-denominated debt on the island.
As of the end of October, Taiwan banks' yuan deposits totaled 123.2 billion yuan, compared with 98.7 billion yuan a month earlier, according to the local central bank.
