Product description
A revolutionary.-The Stranger Stimulating and exciting.-The San Francisco Bay Guardian Tao Lin writes from moods that less radical writers would let pass-from laziness, from vacancy, from boredom. And it turns out that his report from these places is moving and necessary, not to mention frequently hilarious.-Miranda July, author of No One Belongs Here More Than You Tao Lin-author of the underground sensation Eeeee Eee Eeee-continues his deadpan existential-slapstick style with poems featuring titles such as: I will learn to love a person and then I will teach you and then we will know and hamsters are heads with little characteristics on the head, part one. It is, in short, a book of poetry in which the author attempts in a calm, sympathetic, and at times sarcastic tone, to explain to himself the possible origins and cures of anger, worry, frustration, obsession, and confusion-while concurrently experiencing those things. Tao Lin is the poetry editor for 3 a.m. magazine, and proprietor of the blog Reader of Depressing Books, His stories and poems have appeared in Mississippi Review, Cincinnati Review, Other Voices, Punk Planet, and many other magazines. Lin, author of the novel Eeeee Eee Eeee and the short story collection Bed, was born in 1983.

Review quote
"Tao Lin's poetry passes by slacker era irony and self-indulgent formalism to dig up something deeper and more human, even when that something seems on first reading to merely be depressed hamsters." --Jeffrey Brown, author of "Clumsy" and "Little Things" "I hope this new publisher uses my blurb this time. I was a little sad that the other one didn't use it. They could have sold tens of copies if they'd put my blurb on that book. But this book is better; these poems are serious and funny and more than they appear. I am a big fan of Tao Lin's writing and this book makes me happy." --Matthew Rohrer, author of "A Green Light" and "Rise Up"

OPINION: Over the last few weeks my ears have been burning. I blame Barack Obama.
His recent pronouncement in support of gay marriage should have made me – a card-carrying lesbian – feel upbeat. He managed to get the talking heads all fired up and the media and churches in a frenzy. A good thing, right? So why do I feel slightly queasy?
Honestly, having to endure earnest heterosexuals chewing the fat about the rights and wrongs of my sexual orientation has been about as interesting to me as, say, being in the audience at a Bride of the Year competition.
Listening to endless hate-filled media raves about same-sex relationships from religious fruit loops has almost sapped my will to live, nearly as much as the ramblings of the well meaning, who kindly want me to have what they have.
The old "til death us do part" gig.
At the risk of appearing ungrateful and churlish, I'm with Mitt Romney on this one. I agree with him that marriage was intended as a union between a man and a woman. Just not for the same strange reasons as he does.
I know that marriage as an institution has evolved throughout the ages but it is still loaded with a history that does not float my own personal boat. Why would I want to aspire to a solely heterosexual construct originally designed by the church to facilitate women becoming the property of men?
I live in a world, like you do, where most of friends are straight and many are married – some of them a number of times. One of my brothers is on to his fourth wife. Britney Spears managed 55 hours and, at the risk of anyone saying it's a generational thing, back in 1919 Rudolph Valentino and Jean Acker clocked up a mere six hours. So don't dare talk to me about the "sanctity of marriage".
My own relationship saw in 12 years earlier this month. We celebrated with a meal at a fine restaurant and neither of us looked deeply into the other's eyes and asked to civil union each other.
Even if marriage was a real option for us that conversation wouldn't have occurred over dinner either.
We enjoy a committed, stable, domestic partnership that is recognised in law under the Property (Relationships) Act and which is handy if we ever need to split up our life and assets. We don't need a civil union or marriage contract to be protected in law.
I don't think I've ever felt our relationship status is less or more than a heterosexual one – even if some of them quite often do.
We don't have a marriage licence or wear rings but still manage security, love and commitment.
Many gay couples completely shun the civil union route as somehow not good enough. They are compelled to believe that emulating the marriage ritual is the only path to true equality.
Maybe they think it's a way of ultimately forcing society to accept and love them as they are. Unfortunately, bigotry can't be legislated out of existence.
Yet, by rejecting anything but marriage as the only "real deal" gay couples risk mimicking the heterosexual world they often mock and, more to the point, which often ridicules (and hates) them.
Why I have taken this view? Maybe it's because I am suspicious of the State at most every turn.
I also possess a strong streak of pure truculence that cannot accept that legalising gay marriage is a "gift" to be bestowed on me by a benevolent, all-knowing public. I am the kind of person who takes my own path in life – even if I need to clear it first, as is often sadly the case, with a scrub cutter.
Notwithstanding every word above, I defend to the death the right of every citizen to each enjoy the same civil liberties in law.
Despite my own personal position, I'll undoubtedly be proud of my country when the day comes, and it is coming, that Trevor and Trevor and Carol and Carol take their wedding vows in a church or courthouse.
Whether their marriages will work out any better than straight marriages is a given.
They will suffer the same marital ups and downs; from arguing about who cleans the toilet, whether the mother-in-law is visiting too much or which movie to watch. They might even climb Everest together or do it apart.
In other words, like any romantic domestic partnership, it is neither sacred nor profane. It's just a decision – a very important one – about sharing a life with your favourite other human being on the planet (that you know of) and that's about it.
Ritual or not, that's more than enough for me.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
29 May 2011 01:27 GMT | Politics, Asia, Nepal
Nepal's main political parties have agreed to extend parliament's term for three months, leaders said, in an eleventh-hour deal that will see the prime minister step down.
The agreement on sunday followed days of tense negotiations over the future of Nepal's parliament, or Constituent Assembly (CA), elected in 2008 on a two-year mandate to write a new constitution for the young republic.
Despite being granted an extra 12 months last year, it has been unable to complete the task, amid fierce disagreements between the main political parties.
Its term was due to expire on Saturday, plunging the country into legal limbo. But Bhim Rawal, a senior leader of the ruling UML (Unified Marxist-Leninist) party, said opposition legislators had agreed to give it three more months.
He said the deal would see Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal step down at an unspecified time in the future to pave the way for a new power-sharing government.
The parties have also committed to produce a draft constitution in that time, he said.
Parliament will vote on the extension later on Sunday but with the support of all three major parties - including the main opposition Nepali Congress - it is certain to pass.
Earlier, thousands of people gathered outside Nepal's parliament to press legislators to prolong the life of the assembly and complete the task they were elected to perform.
"There is no alternative but to extend parliament's term," said 48-year-old shop owner Jitman Thapa outside the CA building, where thousands of riot police were deployed.
"So many people have gathered here to voice their concern. But the leaders must deliver the constitution within the extended term."
Political instability
The widespread hope that followed the end of a decade-long civil war in 2006 and the abolition of the monarchy two years later have been replaced by a growing sense of anger and frustration in Nepal, one of the world's poorest countries.
Nepal was without a government for seven months before the current prime minister was elected in February. Such a situation has stifled economic growth, forcing many Nepalese to seek work overseas.
Thousands have taken to the streets in recent weeks in protest at the slow pace of progress since the 2008 elections and politicians' failure to complete the constitution.
Police said 12 people had been arrested on Saturday for protesting outside the CA building, where barricades were erected to keep demonstrators away from the negotiations.
"The situation is volatile and we want to make sure that none of the groups take advantage," police spokesman Nawaraj Dhakal told AFP.
International pressure to find a resolution to the crisis has also grown in recent days.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Monday expressed concern about the situation in Nepal, urging the parties to "show leadership and carry out the necessary compromises to preserve the peace process".
The coalition government, which includes the leftist UML and Maoist parties, initially proposed a one-year extension, but was unable to secure enough votes to push that through parliament.

Marina Antunes [DVD News 04.30.12] action war
There was much talk about the similarities between Tomorrow, When the War Began, an adaptation of John Marsden's 1993 novel of the same title, and Red Dawn when we first posted the trailer for the Australian indie a few years ago. The similarities, both movies centering on a group of teens who find themselves bound together fighting an invading force, are obvious on the surface but these two films couldn't be further apart in tone. It's been over a decade since I last saw John Milius' film but I remember it fondly as a piece of Hollywood entertainment but I don't remember much of an emotional connection to any of the characters in Milius' film whereas Stuart Beattie's story is much smaller in scale, choosing to focus mostly on the story between the individuals than on any fighting.
That's not to say that Beattie's take steers clear of any action: there are a couple of memorable car chases, more than one stunt with oversized vehicles and a handful of spectacular explosions but the story doesn't center on the action but rather on the characters and how this group of friends becomes the only force fighting against a nameless invading army.
It all begins with a trip to the bush for the weekend when the country is attacked by an invading army. The teens are unaware of the events unfolding in the nearby town until they return home from the weekend to find their homes empty and everyone still alive corralled into a makeshift prison in the town's fair grounds. Rather than a death-wish rescue attempt, the group, led by Ellie (Caitlin Stasey), makes it their mission to strike the invading force where it hurts most: by taking out a bridge that is the only route of transport from the coast. Though this mission becomes the centre of attention for the group, it's the least interesting factor of the story which sees the teens changing overnight from sheltered, protected individuals with no particular fighting skills into determined soldiers. It's a subtle change but one that everyone involved struggles with and ultimately embraces.
Beattie's adaptation allows enough screen time to each character that I bought their struggles and changes though none as much as Ellie who becomes the group's de fecto leader. The character is written with depth but Stasey brings it to life with nuance and an emotional gravitas that is hard to ignore. The same is true for the rest of the cast, particularly Ashleigh Cummings who plays the religious Robyn. The moment she faces her new reality is beyond cheesy, the camera pulls back to reveal her walking beyond a child's swing – doesn't get much more obvious than that, but Cummings manages to salvage the moment. There are numerous other scenes much like this one peppered throughout Tomorrow, When the War Began and though they sometimes made me roll my eyes, the overall result is an interesting tale of survival and personal growth. A more subdued version of Red Dawn to be sure but one that feels much more believable. It'll be interesting to see how the story progresses with the second film which is currently in production.
Tomorrow, When the War Began is available on DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday, May 1st.
DVD Extras: World premiere footage with the cast and crew, fan reactions to the film along with TV spots and a feature commentary with writer/director Stuart Beattie

Cute idea. But it beggars belief that any group of teens (no matter how motivated) could successfully stand up to modern armed forces for more than a week at best. I can just hear young Micky Rooney saying "Hey! Why don't we stage the Resistance Movement right here!"

The show was wonderful. It tells the tale of three generations of Pullman Porters as they work on a train. We enjoyed the story and the music. The set was impressively creative, giving the illusion of being in several of the train cars during the show. We would recommend this show.

The condo was just right for our family of 5 and had all the amenities we were looking for to make this our best family vacation yet. Our kids (16, 12 & 10) loved playing on the beach out the front door, surfing & boogie boarding the waves, playing volleyball and taking walks to Hermosa Beach. My early morning or sunset runs along the strand up to Manhattan Beach were so amazing as well. Nanette was so awesome to work with and very quick to respond when communicating.

By Pete Croatto on Tuesday 1st November 2005
Oddly enough, the songs are the only memorable parts of Annie, the lavish 1982 John Huston musical. Six-year-olds who see the movie now are sure to disagree, which is the way it should be.
The movie (adapted from the hit Broadway play) details the story of a 10-year-old, fiery-mopped orphan (Aileen Quinn, who has since slipped into obscurity) who is adopted by crotchety Depression Era billionaire Albert Warbucks (Albert Finney) as a publicity stunt. However, the girl wins his way into everyone's heart -- including FDR -- and eventually finds happiness.
Kids are going to really enjoy this, as it's tailor-made for them. Adults are going to be in a stickier situation. Outside of Carol Burnett's terrific performance as the abusive, gin-swilling orphanage head Miss Hannigan, and Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters as her scheming partners, there won't be a lot to sustain their interest.
Carol Sobieski's script is a big part of the problem, as it exists solely to steer the movie into the next musical number. The dialogue doesn't complement the movie the way great musicals do. All of the character's emotions get expressed via song, which prohibits the actors (except natural performers Burnett, Curry, and Peters) from reaching a comfort zone.
For those shady characters the snappy tunes soften their edges. But everyone else comes across like toe-tapping, bellowing zombies. There's no time for the actors to make the characters come alive, so everything feels really hollow and mechanical about halfway through. The heavy dose of music also completely cuts right through the emotional center of the movie, so we never feel any sparks between Annie and Warbucks or between Warbucks and his statuesque assistant (Ann Reinking, two years removed from the disturbing All That Jazz).
But believe me, there are worse ways to entertain your kids for two hours. They're sure to identify with Annie's spunk and be fascinated by her story. What kid doesn't want a cool dog and to live in a mansion crammed with luxuries and with dancing, caring adults? The songs really are memorable and visually, there's a lot to get their attention. In short, the little ones have a movie to call their own. As for the parents, they can be content with Chicago.
Feel free to add two stars to my rating, boys and girls.

January 22, 2010 When an Iraqi committee disqualified more than 500 candidates in the March 7 election for alleged ties to Saddam Hussein's Baath Party, it theatened to reopen a rift between Sunnis and Shiites. Some prominent Sunnis were barred, and concern spread across Sunni Iraq that Shiites in government were trying to cut them out of the race. The vice president aims for a compromise that will allow Iraq to hold a successful election and, in turn, allow the U.S. to begin its planned drawdown of troops.

December 25, 2009 Christians in Iraq are celebrating the birth of Jesus with some trepidation. This year, Dec. 25 coincides with one of the most important dates on the Shiite Muslim calendar. So Iraqi Christians are refraining from public signs of celebration out of respect for — or fear of — their Muslim neighbors.

November 12, 2009 Incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is hoping for a repeat of last January's provincial elections — that's when Iraqi voters rejected overtly religious parties and turned to his more secular slate. Luckily for him, those religious parties don't seem to have gotten the message. One of the largest Shiite religious parties is spending millions on an Iranian-style mausoleum to its fallen leaders. It's by far the biggest construction in the city of Najaf, but residents say they'd rather see the money spent on services.

An appearance in the New Musical Express 1964-65 Annual Poll-Winners' All-Star Concert, the Beatle's third consecutive contribution to this afternoon show presented by the weekly pop paper. In front of a 10,000 audience they performed "I Feel Fine", "She's A Woman", "Baby's In Black", "Ticket To Ride" and "Long Tall Sally".
Highlights of the concert were broadcast in two 85 minute ABC Television specials titled Poll Winners Concert, the first of these, the one including the Beatles' appearance, transmitted on April 18 (Easter Sunday) 3:15-4:40 pm in most of Britain. Viewers also saw the group collect their poll awards from American Singer Tony Bennett.
Immediately after the NME performance, the Beatles left Wembley and drove to ABC'x Teddington studios, arriving at 6:30 pm. After dinner and a change of clothes, they participated in a rehearsal/camera run-through, dress rehearsal, and finally, live transmission of the weekly series The Eamonn Andrews Show.

Video-taping (including rehearsals) took place from 1:30 pm and two songs were shot, the usual A- and B-side formula: "Ticket To Ride" and "Yes It Is". For the first time, the Beatles wore the fawn-colored jackets which they would wear again the next day at the NME concert and then wear for their famous Shea Stadium concert. (In August)
Both song performances were included in Top Of The Pops on Thursday, April 15th, transmitted from 7:30 to 8:00 pm. "Yes It Is" was then repeated the following week (April 22) and "Ticket To Ride" on April 29th and again on May 6th, all (7:30-8:00 pm).
Another unused scene was shot today, set in a warehouse interior with the four Beatles, Superintendent Gluck (Patrick Cargill), seven of his policemen and 12 "thugs" belonging to Clang (Leo McKern).
Four sequences were filmed, only two involving the Beatles, all four of the group took part in a washroom sequence, in which havoc was wreaked by an excessive hot-air hand-drier and then Ringo shot a solo sequence in a bathroom, not in the finished film.

Today the Beatles filmed the "Pub Cellar" sequence, in which Ringo, having fallen through a trap door, is confronted by "Raja, the famous Bengal maneater".
During a break in filming today, the Beatles received a "Bell" award from Radio Caroline, presented to them by disc-jockey Simon Dee and filmed by newsreel cameras, and Dee also took the opportunity to interview the Beatles for a broadcast on the Pirate airwaves.
The first couple of days this week were spent shooting the interior dining area and kitchen sections of the "Rajahama" restaurant sequence, all on a set built at Twickenham.

Vision Re/habilitation and Therapy. As with most eyecare practices, we want you to be able to see 20/20.

We utilize state-of-the art equipment so that your eyes receive the best possible care.
In addition, we now offer another form of Vision Rehabilitation- Corneal Refractive Therapy- a non-surgical option for those looking to reduce the need for glasses for low to moderate near-sightedness.
