Bright Blessings!
As the Holiday celebrating Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is upon us, the thoughts of conjure practices in the struggle of the African American community and the place of its Magicians and Spiritual workers come to mind. Not everyone believed that the Spiritual world worked the same way. While the Black Church has long been the force for the struggle through Straight Religion, Liberation Theology, as well as Spiritual Succor, the role of the Rootworker and Two Head woman, along with their contributions to the community, have been downplayed.
"Liberation theology sees the Christian mission as bringing justice to oppressed people through political activism, solving their social and economic plight. In liberation theology they have divided the world into 2 groups, the oppressed and the oppressor. The poor are the oppressed and the rich are their oppressors."
And so as Dr. King led, a nation of millions followed. But not all followed in the same ways or with the same beliefs. The work that had to be done went beyond Christianity. It went beyond who was Pagan and who was a Saint in the Churches.
It went beyond the Muslim Conversion wildfire of the Nation of Islam, and the American Society of Muslims, bodies that were sparking the flames of the disenfranchised youth here in the City of Detroit. It went beyond the faith based works of the Moorish Science Temple of America's Nationality social program. It went beyond the young Marxists who were reading the Little Red Book and aspiring to make a new nation of Black Revolutionaries, Black Defense Leagues, and Civic Societies. The Black Panther Party for Self Defense was feeding children breakfast and securing the rights of a people. It was more than a movement, it was a Spiritual Event and Annointed Hour in this nation that everyone was a part of making happen.
Make no mistake. The Magickian in the community may not have been seen in the pulpit, may not have been covered by the cameras, and was definitely not invited to the debate table (officially), the Hands of the Unseen were at work every step of the way. While those prayers were offered up in incense, all those mouths were not speaking those words with the same intent or force from the same perspective.
The hands of the Conjurer that prayed, the legs that marched, and the eyes who were watching for wonders and freedom were also holding the safety and well beings of their people's lives. They gathered roots in the woods and made poultices for the families of those too poor to pay for the medicine from the clinic. They rubbed the deep wounds and drove out the parasites of the body. They laid Healing hands of the bruises of the beaten.
In this writer's family, there was no cognitive dissonance when they were praising the Good Master in Heaven and going to the Two Head woman down the street. Sit in protestors on the front lines, according to the oral traditions that were passed down in my Detroit neighborhood, often had Mojo bags in their pockets. Their families set oil lights. They did protection work to have those brutal forces of oppression "see and not see" their children when they were on the front lines.
In Vietnam, many families had four leaf clovers and other items, pressed between the pages of Bibles, Dictionaries, and other books at certain passages in order to keep their soldiers safe. Same as in the Korean Conflict. Same as in World War II. Same as now.
Chewing John was everywhere when they had to go to court. Devil's Shoe String and Policy Books were in top drawers, tucked between the linen handkerchiefs and the half slips. And many a night, when those who had missing members sat vigil, psalms were sung with as much conjuring as any other spell - though the use of Christianity was the adaptation used by the descendants of those who joined the Black Churches here in the states as a form of freedom. And while the term Witch was despised, the Root woman or man was not held as one of those. Hags and Workers were not the same in any way.
Card readers sat patiently as client after client asked after their daughters and sons going on those Freedom Rides. Dreams were carefully interpreted in the pages of the Kansas City Kitty for numbers to hit and omens to bide that could bring that extra money to the family now that Dad was laid off or fired for being in the marches. Powders and oils were made to add to the workplace to keep the sole provider working.
There were marchers in the streets, hand and hand, and singing hymns. Just as there were bones and tricks laid against the violators. The Conjurer's broke the ranks of their enemies with Power. They softened their hearts. They exacted payment and revenge, as well as healing. These were not the charlatans who prey upon the African American Diaspora and claim intellectual privilege to pilfer the Traditions of the Spirit Workers. These were the buttresses that held the community up and strong with the sense of Duty that comes with holding those ranks.
The Black Market economy of the Street Numbers kept people fed and in shoes while they marched. And who better to give that little extra luck with that, and with getting that raise from Mr. Charlie that the local Doctor. Paradise Valley smelled of Elizabeth root before it was destroyed. The grandchildren of those residents still smell of it today. Only now, they buy it in any part of town they choose.
Times have changed. There is an African American Commander-in-Chief sitting in the White House. There are internationally respected ambassadors, diplomats, and policy makers who help to shape the destiny of the Nation. And yet, there are still no large African American magickal publishing houses. There is still the gaping wound that represents the shortage of major symposiums of Traditional Conjure without Non-African American curio companies being the major sponsors.
And there is still the unabashed poaching and appropriation of the Culture of African American Conjure Traditions with impunity, enriching the coffers of those who have never worked a root or, worse yet, pollute what they have created with blending together Wiccan, Heathen, and other practices that have nothing to do with it. Book writers and tourists who dip go on adventures into the communities and profit from what they skim from the book stand behind the oil counter grow rich on the works of the descendants of the enslaved Root Worker, and the cycle continues.
But it is also a new day. There are those who, while writing on Conjure and Hoodoo, do not steal but seek to advocate and present the information to those who may not be aware that it exists. They come from different ethnic and racial backgrounds, but they are all for the same thing. They are for the preservation of the old ways. There are those who are this and the next generation of African American practitioner who are creating dialogues and being mindful of the contributions that those who have come before have made. To them, this author says, I will dance in your Ring Shout any day you ask.
So while we have come a long way, and have a long way to go, let us remember that as we take those steps, the Conjure man and woman is guarding our tracks. Let us take up our sticks and staves and pound out a rhythm that the Spirits will hear, and smile, upon together.
Blessed Be.

Actress, screenwriter, film director and producer, model, cosmetics manufacturer and now fragrance creator, Drew Barrymore, has come out with her first fragrances – a trio of fruity, floral delights called Cherished, Radiant and Sultry.
Packaged in pretty floral-topped bottles with ombré shading in white, peach and purple, Cherished, Radiant and Sultry are being eagerly anticipated by Drew's many fans, who have enjoyed her brilliant cinematic career in favorites such as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," "The Wedding Singer" and "50 First Dates."
The nose behind this fragrance collection is Givaudan's Stephen Nilsen, who focused on specific emotions at different times of the day. An interesting concept, especially as it aims to capture the many aspects of a multifaceted woman's feminine persona, as pertaining to her various emotions during a given day…
Representing morning and a contented family life is Cherished with its top notes incorporating a blend of morning dew, blackcurrant and Italian lemon, leading to a heart of florals such as iris, rose and lily of the valley, with Tahitian vanilla, creamy sandalwood and cotton-musk at its base.
With its promise of "invigoration and joy throughout the day," Radiant enthusiastically opens again with green and dewy accords of Italian bergamot and water molecule calone, leading to rose, pink peony and magnolia and dissipating to a base of crystal musk, pink amber and white wood.
Finally, the day's reward in anticipation of romantic moments and the fulfillment of a satisfying nightlife, Sultry offers a delectable bouquet of fruity plum, pink pepper and cranberries, leading to nocturnal jasmine, juicy blackberries and ephemeral cashmeran, aptly ending in warm patchouli, Madagascar vanilla and musk.
The Eau de Parfum sprays are part of Barrymore's Flower Collection cosmetics and beauty line, which was launched through Walmart, announced back in December 2012. Cherished, Radiant and Sultry will also be offered through the American retail chain, beginning this October, with the 30ml EDP going for $24,98, the 15ml EDP for $19.98 and the rollerball for $9.98.
Drew Barrymore's new fragrance collection sounds like a pretty tasty way to spend your day – and night! October's just around the corner…

|NEW BACKFILES IN CHEMISTRY By Andrea Twiss-Brooks
We are pleased to report that the Library has extended the years of coverage in its electronic journals collections in chemistry.
The full Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Journals Archive, with more than 150 years of coverage was activated earlier this quarter. This important resource provides immediate access to more than 200,000 original articles from all RSC journals, as well as those of its forerunner societies, covering 1846-1996. This coverage includes analytical titles produced by RSC (some of which the Library did not receive in print), all sections of Annual Reports on the Progress of Chemistry, all sections of the Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Society Reviews, and more.
In addition to this rich historical collection, the Library was able to add access to the 1962-1998 volumes of Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English. This high impact collection is comprised of more than 10,000 articles.
These backfiles can be accessed from the library catalog, and from databases like SciFinder Scholar/ChemPort and ISI Web of Knowledge using the SFX linking service.
Questions and/or comments about these, and any other chemistry resources should be sent to Andrea Twiss-Brooks (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The SpecInfo database is now available to the University of Chicago community. This database contains 660,000 mostly NMR (also has some mass spectra). The search interface requires installation of a java applet (swing.exe); a link to the download may be found on the SpecInfo welcome page. A login and password are currently required; the vendor is working to develop an IP restricted access. The login/password and instructions for accessing SpecInfo are found at: www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/su/chem/maroon/specinfo.html
The product also offers spectra similarity searches for all
methods, substructure searches, name, MW and formula searches as
well as precise NMR shift prediction for various nuclei. Search
results can be compared with experimental spectra and printed out
using a report generator.
NOTE: This product takes 3-5 minutes to initialize. After that, the searches are fairly fast. So be patient when logging on.
The new interlibrary loan system, introduced in January 2004, has two features worth highlighting.
If you need any assistance with the new system please give us a call or send an email.
As of April 1, 2004, any users of SciFinder Scholar (SFS) who are running version 2001 or earlier will NO LONGER be able to access the Chemical Abstracts databases available via SFS.
If you are running an old version on a PC compatible, please point your browser to:
for instructions on downloading the 2004 version of the client. When installing, please choose to install over the previous version to retain the customized profile settings for University of Chicago installations.
Mac users should point to:
and use the following: Login ID = scholar2004 and Password = highbury
Any users who are installing the SFS client for the first time must also obtain the local customized profile file (site.prf). This file can be copied from another machine already running ANY version of SFS. If you do not have access to a local source for the file, contact Andrea Twiss-Brooks (firstname.lastname@example.com).
We hope that this is helpful both for the inexperienced researcher, who may not be sure where to start a search, or for people working in fields outside of their specialties.
In addition, we think that this is an easier way for experienced researchers to get to the databases they use frequently. The alphabetical list is still being maintained and is accessible by clicking the "All Databases (Alphabetical)" box at the top left of the page.
If you think a database is missing from a subject area, or have any questions or suggestions about the page, please contact Reed Lowrie (firstname.lastname@example.com, 2-8552).
The new computers should be in place by early April. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
However, its use can be problematic for two reasons: First, urls often change. Changes in urls are recorded in the library catalog (the catalog is database generated). These same changes are not always automatically reflected in our A-Z list (the list is maintained manually and we are not necessarily notified of changes). If you use the A-Z list and cannot access a journal, try using the Library's Online Catalog. Give us a call or send an email telling us which title is problematic.
Second, the list is not comprehensive. Often the library purchases electronic journal articles in packages. We are not always aware of all the specific resources available in a package and therefore some titles may not appear on the A-Z list. However all titles will be in the catalog. The best use of the A-Z list is when you know, for sure, that we have a subscription to a journal and you want quick access. Please never use the A-Z list to verify that we own a title.
Brenda Rice maintains a separate and regularly updated list on the Eckhart Library web site. "Electronic Journals in Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science" can be found at: www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/eck/db/ej/
Similarly Andrea Twiss-Brooks has been regularly updating a "Chemistry Electronic Journals" list found at: www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/chem/db/ej/
We hope to create similar, specialized lists, for other subject areas in the Physical Sciences. We will keep you posted!

|New Biomedical
By Reed Lowrie
Hello, I'm Reed Lowrie, the new biomedical reference librarian at the John Crerar Library. I'm very pleased to have joined such an excellent staff working in a world class library.
I'm originally from Washington state, but have since lived in mainline Philadelphia, Memphis, and northern New Hampshire. In fact, this is a return to Hyde Park for me, as I spent several years here in the 1980's both getting a masters degree in English at the University and working in a local restaurant while my wife finished her Ph.D. More recently, I spent ten years working at various positions in the Biomedical Libraries at Dartmouth College. I took a break from that to get a masters in library science from the University of Illinois in 2002.
I began here at Crerar last June in a temporary position and joined the staff permanently in January. My initial work has been to redesign some of the Crerar web pages, including a large rearrangement of the science databases (see www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/crerar/db/ ). I've also been putting together an exhibit at the Regenstein Library on the work of Dr. Bernard Fantus, the father of U.S. blood banking (see www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/spcl/curex.html#u ). My next project is to redesign the medicine and biology subject guide web pages. I also provide instruction and outreach services to the campus biomedical community.
Why might you want to contact me? Well, I can help you with MEDLINE searches, or searching other databases in biology or medicine; I can troubleshoot problems with accessing electronic resources; I can help you find print and digital resources for your students to use; I can help you with EndNote problems, or just show you how to use it; in fact, if there's anything to do with any aspect of the library that you want to know about, I encourage you to contact me. If I don't know the answer I'll know where to find it: that's something reference librarians are good at.

Do people still live in the moment? Was that a notion from past? Or did we just outgrow it?
Is it possible that teens and twenty-somethings everywhere are making bad decisions in the name of living in the moment? Everyone is talking about the teen brain these days. It makes me want to throw all the car keys in the world into the sea. But only for a second. It's a reaction.
I drove through a canyon yesterday, one that I used to commute through regularly. It's a fun road, fun to drive, even in a minivan. Unlike Laurel or Coldwater, there isn't much traffic. Just a curvy road through the hills.
There used to be two lanes going each way through most of it. A year or so ago they changed the lines in the road, making it a one lane road for most of the distance, with just a few two-lane spots for passing. The reason, I suspect, was to cut down on the racing. The road was famous for racing, I learned a few years ago, after a kid died on it.
A twelve-year-old Camaro was looking for a race. I could tell by the way it pulled ahead of me on the two-lane part of the road. And, I'm not going to lie, I wanted to pull ahead. I would have been able to take that old Camaro. People always underestimate the minivan, but it has some speed. And the driver was an amateur, a kid really. Who else but a kid would pick a fight with a minivan? It's like kicking a puppy.
Two lanes turned back to one, the Camaro ahead of me, driving at a reasonable speed. The urge to race was an impulse on the Camaro's part. I got it. But the driver was still my rival.
And, suddenly, as we made our way through the canyon, we were both stuck behind a gravel truck going 20 miles per hour. There would be no getting past the gravel truck, those passing lanes had come to an end.
As the three of us lumbered along, I'm sure the Camaro forgot about me, just as I had forgotten about it. All of our attention was on the gravel truck. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
We made it to the North Valley, unscathed, and turned in three different directions.
A fitting end.

ESPN Reporter Gives Vicious Tongue-Lashing to Towing Company Clerk [NSFW VIDEO]
For somebody who makes a living being on camera, you'd think ESPN reporter Britt McHenry would know better.
For somebody who makes a living being on camera, you'd think ESPN reporter Britt McHenry would know better.
The death of ESPN's Stuart Scott continues to be felt in the sports world.
Longtime ESPN personality Stuart Scott died Sunday after a battle with cancer. He was 49.
ESPN signed an agreement on Tuesday which will allow it to broadcast people playing with a Frisbee to more than 83 million households nationwide.
ESPN pulled country star Hank Williams Jr.'s 'All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Monday Night' opener from the telecast of 'Monday Night Football' after Williams appeared on television comparing President Barack Obama to murderous dictator Adolf Hitler.
The song, a modified version of Williams' 1984 hit, 'All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight,' has won four Emmys and has ushered in the Monday night games for some 20 years.
When ESPN's new series 'Rise Up' debuts in September, there will be a familiar voice singing the theme song.

The year was 1967, and Singapore started to print its own currency and made national service a compulsory thing for all young Singaporean men of lawful age. It was the year where fake eyelashes were rented out for S$4 per day; and prices of eggs plummeted to a new low that drove Singaporeans to form a lobby group on "chicken butchery" in order to reduce the supply of eggs. In the same year, "Vietnamese Rose" - a form of syphilis – came into Singapore and men who called on prostitutes shuddered at the mere mention of the name; It was also the year when Sakura and Rita Chao's "New Peach-blossom River" was all the rage in the streets of Singapore.
There were three houses along a narrow bustling street on North Bridge Road, and there lived six families, amongst them were 6 youths of about the same age.
Lin Xiao Bei(played by Dai Yang Tian)is the only son of Lin, the tailor. He fights and gets himself into countless trouble and is a constant annoyance to his neighbours. Yao Jian Hong (played by Jeanette Aw), who grows up with Xiao Bei, is the only person who could tame him. Jian Hong left school at a young age and with her father, they perform martial arts in the streets to sell medicated ointment. She is in the 'turf' for years, and is a candid and forthright girl with a sense of chivalry. Lin Xiao Bei likes her and the feeling is mutual. However she's unhappy with Xiao Bei's frivolous attitude. She wishes that Xiao Bei would be down-to-earth and to succeed his father's tailoring business. Xiao Bei doesn't want to be resigned to running the little tailor-shop. He wants to venture into more ambitious grounds and yearns to strike it rich someday.
Another childhood friend of Lin Xiao Bei is Huang Zhi Hao (nicknamed "Tarzan", played by Elvin Ng), who loves to day-dream. Often fickle-minded, he switches between dreams of being a car racer to a wrestler the next. Both of them are at loggerheads sometimes but turn into buddies in other occasions. Xiao Bei and Tarzan stick by each other through weal and woe. Like chopsticks, the pair is inseparable and can't do without each other.
In addition to Jian Hong, Tarzan's sister, Huang Jin Hao (played by Eelyn Kok), also likes Xiao Bei. She is a vain and materialistic girl with an naïve mindset. Despite not winning over Xiao Bei's heart, she stays loyal to him as a friend. Jian Hong's twin brother, Yao Wu Ji (played by Zhang Zhen Huan) is very timid. He likes Jin Hao but could only keep his true feelings to himself.
Qin Hui Min (played by Zhou Ying) is the only one among the few youngsters who is well educated. Though she is physically weak but with her unrelenting perseverance, Hui Min eventually became a lawyer.
The two generations of these families underwent 30 years of changes, entwined in a chain of love, hatred, bitterness, jealousy, magnanimity and forgiveness. That was their story which is also, Our Story as we, too, had been down the same path…
Singaporeans share countless common memories. Through the years of hardship when the country started out in the 60s; the oil crisis in the 70s and the stock-market crash in the 80s, Singaporeans have lived through it all. We've shared the joys and sorrows. With the onslaught of the current financial crisis, we are being put to test once again. And looking back at how we've rode out the storm over the years bears an exceptional meaning at this point in time.
Catch 'Together' when it debuts 30 November 2009,
Monday – Friday at 9pm, on Channel 8.

Field Of Dreams
The 2010 World Cup is going to come to us from the faraway country of South Africa, a perfect setting since it's winter there now. Let's see what surprises the cup may have in store.
Captivated by the words spoken by a mysterious, disembodied voice, Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) decides to follow the dream he has nurtured all his life. With the help of his wife Annie (Amy Madigan), he sets out to build the field of his dreams, and in the process experiences some moving moments on the nights when he meets up with his boyhood heroes on the Field of Dreams.
The 1989 production 'Field of Dreams' was one of the best fantasy-drama films I've ever seen. Very few films I know portray the father-son relationship so movingly. Also handled well in the film is America's favorite sport, baseball. And right now it's as if the world's favorite sport, soccer, is about to become a Field of Dreams for a continent very far removed from North America. For an entire month, world stars like Messi, C. Ronaldo, Drogba, Eto'o, Agüero, Torres, Rooney, Xavi, Kaka, Robinho, Pampard, Robben, Anelka, Ribery, Casillas, Puyol, Sergio Ramos, Tevez, Lucio, Van Persie and Gerrard are going to take center stage in South Africa at the tip of the once 'dark' continent, where a total of 64 matches are going to be played on the Field of Dreams. The whole world is going to watch and it's going to be great fun.
We are all going to experience South Africa 2010 together. There will definitely be surprises. Magnificent matches await us as well as others that will be rather ho-hum. Since it's winter in South Africa, the weather couldn't be better for football. High-level measures have been taken for security. The sponsors have put together projects to entertain the fans in 'fan parks' created in the cities where the matches will be played. The stadiums are new and comfortable. It would be a little difficult however to say the same of transportation however. Traveling by train especially is not recommended for security reasons.
Racism is a subject to which importance is given off the field in football today. This year's World Cup is taking place in South Africa, one of the places where the struggle against racism sent up its first shoots, and it is even more significant for that reason.
The years of preparation, the newly built stadiums, and the hotels that filled up months ago have all generated great excitement in South Africa, where the World Cup will find its new owner following matches played in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Tshawane, Polokwane, Bloemfontein, Rustenburg, Port Elisabeth and Nelspruit.
Unfortunately Turkey will not be on football's 'Field of Dreams' where 32 nations will compete for the championship. We were unable to pass the eliminations. Instead we are going to watch foreign players from our own league go for the cup this time. We will watch two Turks on the German National Team, Mesut Özil and Serdar Taşçı, and one on the Swiss, Gökhan İnler. From Galatasaray, Kewell and Neill will play for Australia, Dos Santos for Mexico, Elano for Brazil, and Keita for Ivory Coast. Fenerbahçe's Lugano will don the captain's armband for the Uruguay National Team. Beşiktaş's Holosko, and Ankaragücü's Vittek and Sapara will sweat it out for Slovakia. Three players from Cameroun are in the Turkcell Super League: Kayserispor's Süleymanou, Trabzonspor's Song and Ankaragücü's Geremi. And Van Heerden, who came to Sivas just this season, is on South Africa's National Team. Shining star of Beşiktaş, Tello, will be on the Chile National Team and Antalyaspor's defense player, Jedinak, is another player on the Austrian National Team.
This makes 16 players, but the number could go up or down depending on injuries and red card offenses. What's more, two world stars like Anelka and Ribery, who are well known in Turkey, are in the French lineup.
For the first time perhaps, there isn't going to be any clear cup favorite. Brazil, Italy, Spain and Germany are all out in front. But strong teams like England, Argentina, Holland and France with their top-notch players could create a few surprises. Ivory Coast has been tipped as Africa's strongest team by authorities on the subject. But Drogba and his colleagues are in the tournament's 'Group of Death'. If they defeat Brazil and Portugal and make it to the second round, there's a lot they could do with their high energy and fan support. Even if Dunga, who has left names like Ronaldinho, Adrinao, Ronaldo and Andre Santos out of the lineup, makes the Brazilian National Team second, it won't be considered a true success. I say this as one who followed the 1998 and 2006 World Cups closely and who has watched matches with the Samba nation. The Brazilians are incredible football fans, but they are ruthless when it comes to their technical directors. Brazil is perhaps going to be the team feeling the most pressure to win.
In Argentina, which has snapped up all the tournament tickets for the last elimination match, everybody is wondering whether Maradona is going to use a big star like Messi. The fact that Atletico's Agüero played such a big role in their UEFA European League victory could create an ego problem on the team since Agüero is also Maradona's future son-in-law and he plays in the same part of the field as stars like Messi, Tevez and Milito.
I have similar thoughts when I remember Cruyff's quip, "Football is simple, but the hardest thing there is, is to play simple football," or Gary Linacre's, "Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win." No matter what they may lack in aesthetics, the German National Team, like the Italian, is a tournament team. If they get through the first round, they could go very far. Maradona and his unforgettable performance in Mexico '86 come to mind at any mention of the World Cup. The goal world football's number one star sent into the English net in the quarter final is one of the most disputed in cup history. But the second goal he shot, bypassing seven English players as well as goalkeeper Shilton, was the cup's most beautiful by far. Following Maradona we should remember other football greats on the Field of Dreams such as Pele, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Müller, Ronaldo, Romario, Rivaldo, Platini, Didi, Garrincha, Zico, Zoff and Maier.
Soccer fans by the hundreds of thousands are flocking to South Africa to follow the world's biggest soccer event.
The championship is bringing together the world's top football players. The dream teams are turning the turf into a fabulous football fest.
Leonel Messi - Argentina
I've never been to Africa before. I am going to go with Guus Hiddink for the cup. Of course we are going to watch mainly the matches of Germany, who will be in our group in Euro 2012. Germany is a tournament team and a favorite in every cup it plays in. That's why I don't agree with those who regard it as good fortune that it will be in our group.
Mahmut Özgener - President, Football Fedration Of Turkey
I went to South Africa in May 1994 to take part in a board meeting of the International Press Institute. I will never forget Table Mountain. It looms before you just like a table as you descend to land at the airport. The kangaroo paté at Cape Town is very famous. Cape Town impressed me the most, of course, since it is the city at the tip of the continent. In the World Cup I'm for my favorite, Barcelona, and Argentina because I admire Messi. I have a certain antipathy for Brazil, but they are very strong. Spain is also among the favorites with names like Xavi, Torres and
Puyol. I hope that the African teams will be successful too. And to tell the truth, I'm very sad that Turkey couldn't go.
Hasan Cemal - Columnist,The Daily Milliyet
Those who travel to South Africa to experience cup fever are going to find a magnificent natural environment as well
I believe I was one of the first in the world of football to go to South Africa. I went there in 1973 while I was working for a private firm. I'll never forget it. Our 67-kg European boxing champion, Cemal Kamacı, had not been able to get a visa, but I did. I went another time in 1944-95 for the Meridian Cup. Last year I went again as Fair Play Social Communications Chairman. We put together a project called "Win in Africa with Africa', designed to prepare children there for life and to train them through football. We toured Robben Island. You can find delicious meat and seafood in Cape Town. You can join a safari. You should see Kruger Park and Lion Park. There are kilometer after kilometer of shopping centers below the hotels. You can find anything you want. I am very sorry that Turkey won't be playing. I'm not expecting any big surprises in the cup. But I find it wrong to compare Messi with Maradona. Messi needs to do some things atthe national team level first. But that is looking
Şenes Erzik - Uefa Vice-President, Fifa Executive Founding Member
World Cup host South Africa has completed all its preparations and the countdown has begun. The hotels are filled to overflowing. Soccer isn't just soccer...
I personally don't find it right that the World Cup should be given to any place outside Brazil, Argentina, or the Mediterranean countries of Europe. The countries of Africa, Asia or Northern Europe do not reflect football's exciting aspects really well. Not only that but the crime rate in South Africa is rather high. Despite all that, I can't help but ask myself how we forfeited our chance to don our star-and-crescent uniforms and travel down there. As for the tournament, I'm rooting for Brazil as always. Among the players, everybody is talking about Messi, but I believe Inter's Argentine center forward Milito is the man to watch.
Şansal Büyüka - Director Of Broadcasting, Lig tv
I went to South Africa last year as Interim General Secretary of the AIPS to tour the stadiums. I learned a lot about stadiums.A new, 2,500-km autobahn has been built for transportation. The stadiums are extremely modern. And the Johannesburg Chief of Police has said he will employ elephants and rhinos if necessary for security and has given FIFA a guarantee. I would recommend that anyone going to South Africa visit Soweto Township where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and try the local restaurants there.
Esat Yılmaer - President, Turkish Sports Writres Association (TSYD), Interim General Secretary/ Ceo, International Sports Press Association (AIPS)
The World Soccer Championship is the most important event in their career for the new talents who surface and the athletes who strut their stuff
Abdulkadir Keita - Ivory Coast
First of all, I wish all those who are going to the World Cup good luck. I have toured Cape Town, Johannesburg and Sun City in South Africa. If you ask me, I would put Cape Town among the top five places I'd like to live in the world, hands down. It's a very beautiful city.The seafood is magnificent. They've got the world's number one lobster. I can't say the same for Johannesburg. Still, you should see Kruger Park and Robin Island where Mandela was imprisoned. I would advise those who are going to the cup and who can afford it to rent a house in Cape Town and a chauffered car. As for the cup, World Cups are easier tournaments than the European Cup because there are weak teams from Africa, Central America and Asia. Frankly, I'm not expecting any big surprises.The championship contest will be between Europe's strongest teams
and Brazil-Argentina.

There are unfortunate predicaments and there are strange situations, but then there are the times that you get yourself into both at the same time. It took a total of five emergency vehicles and 22 firefighters to help rescue and free an exchange student that got himself stuck in a giant stone vagina sculpture in Germany, per The Metro on June 22, 2014.
Yes, a giant stone vagina.
Before the start of the weekend, an American exchange student ended up getting stuck inside of the giant statue which sits on the campus of Tübingen University Institute of Microbiology in Tübingen, Germany. It was all a bit of a joke to start, but things took a turn quickly.
Erick Guzman was on the scene with the exchange student and he's the one that got the pictures and posted them on Imgur. From there, they went viral.
There was no harm intended according to Guzman.
"I was there!!! He just wanted to take a funny picture."
Some reports state that the exchange student did it on a dare.
It may have seemed like all fun and games, but after getting the pictures, the unnamed student realized he was stuck. His legs and feet got wedged in the bottom of the vagina sculpture and he simply couldn't get out. That was when help was called for.
"The fire department was not really amused, and he was really embarrassed," posted Guzman.
Once arriving on the scene, it took the numerous firefighters a a while to get the student unstuck from the sculpture, but it eventually happened, and he was free to go.
The sculpture is actually called Pi-Chacan, which translates from Peruvian-Indian as "love making." It was created by a Peruvian artist named Fernando de la Jara. It's actually been in place on the German campus for the past 13 years.
According to records, this is the first time that someone has gotten stuck inside the giant stone vagina sculpture.

Luis Rodriguez is dead after five police officers pin him down. It looks as though the weight of those five men may have killed the father and husband, who had not committed a crime. While many suggest that the restraint was what killed the man, the autopsy is not back yet with the cause of death.
Police were called to a Moore, Oklahoma movie theater for a domestic dispute, but that dispute was between Rodriguez's wife and daughter, having nothing to do with the Luis Rodriguez, the man they restrained, according to CNN News on Feb. 26.
Nair Rodriguez, Luis's wife, had a spat with her 19-year-old-daughter inside the movie theater. She got so angry with her daughter that she slapped her in the face. This is when the 911 call went out to police.
Apparently the family left the theater and Nair was so distraught over the argument with her daughter that she got out of the car and started to walk. Her husband Luis went after her to calm her down.
Police pulled up and took Luis down, despite Nair's cries that he didn't do anything and that it was her that hit their daughter. She used her cell phone and videotaped what the police were doing to her husband.
On the tape you can hear her cries trying to get the cops to understand that he didn't do anything. She also says a few times that her husband isn't moving. She asks the officers if her husband is alright. She is told by one of the officers as soon as they secure him and get him on his feet, she can talk to him.
Then an officer came over to tell Nair that they've called for medical help for her husband. She asked the officer who had blood on him if her husband was bleeding. He told her that it was his own blood he had on his clothes.
She wanted to know why they pinned down her husband when it was her who hit their daughter. The officer tells Nair that:
"He refused to give his ID. He got combative."
The video ends as the ambulance is seen in the background. Luis Rodriguez is dead and the results of his autopsy are not back as of yet, which will hopefully shed some light on how he died. The cops pepper sprayed him then pinned him down on the ground for what appears to be an extended period of time.
Was Luis crushed to death by the weight of the five officers? Police are describing how they handled Luis Rodriguez as "normal procedure." The video from Nair's cell phone shows Luis being pinned by the cops. Hopefully a surveillance camera on the theater overlooking the parking lot where this incident took place will shed more light on what happened before Nair started taping the incident with her cell phone.
This is a bizarre case where a mother and daughter's fight turned deadly, but not for them. It was the father of this family who ended up paying the ultimate price for this fight.

When Dominique Ansel created the Cronut, people thought he was crazy and that it would never work or be popular. They were incredibly wrong and that's why his latest creation is getting even more attention. As ABC News reported on March 6, 2014, Ansel has created the Milk and Cookie Shot, and one little picture is taking the world by storm.
That's right. Ansel revealed an image of three little chocolate chip cookie shot glasses (totally edible), filled them with milk, took a picture of them, and posted it on Instagram.
With that, the the Internet went nuts.
It's a simple concept of just drinking the ice cold milk and then eating your cookie shot glass. Many have to wonder why this hasn't been done before. It is likely that someone will say they have done it, but for now, the idea and creation belongs to Dominique Ansel.
Ansel said he created the new dessert when he sampled his first-ever Oreo, which was just a few weeks ago. Once he had an Oreo, Answel had the "extra-aerated" cookie dough backed in a cylindrical mold, and that was it.
Unfortunately, it's not going to be available to everyone just yet.
"As of right now it's exclusively for SXSW," a spokesperson said.
The Milk and Cookie Shots are going to be sampled at the SXSW Allison+Partners event on Sunday, March 9, 2014, in Austin, Texas. Ansel is going to be present at the event and he will also be making cronuts for those in attendance.
There's no word on when, or if, the Milk and Cookie Shots will be made available to all that want them, but the hope is there.

Have a cluster of desktop computers that are used to process data. Sometimes they crash and it would be nice of we could send a signal to the motherboards on them to restart the machine if we stop being able to connect via SSH.
Is there a piece of hardware that exists that can receive a signal signal via USB or serial port instructing it to connect two wires in the same way that pressing the "reset" button on a desktop case would?
In this way, the mechanism could be connected to the restart pins on another desktop's motherboard, and one computer could be used to restart another computer after it crashed. This seems like a pretty simple thing to do and I know I could do it with an arduino or something if I had the time, but seems like there should be something out there already that allows for this.
Thanks so much!

DANCING queen Anna Richards has plenty of reasons to smile.
The 13-year-old from Birdwell virtually swept the board at a regional dance event last weekend which attracted more than 500 dancers from throughout the north.
Anna, of Falcon Drive, who has been dancing since she was a tot, had hoped she might win one of the classes.
In fact the Horizon pupil gained four first places, one third place, won the modern dance championship, was second in the classical dance championship and got the highest mark in the entire dance festival for her character dance.
Her proud mum Adele said: "There was some amazing talent at the competition, which was staged in Doncaster, so we were thrilled at Anna's achievements."
Anna wants to work in the performing arts when she grows up.

ABC has announced the return of "Celebrity Wife Swap," and the third season will begin with a swap between Jermaine Jackson and Daniel Baldwin. The Philadelphia Tribune reports on Monday that the mothers will be switching lives, but their entire families will be affected by the changes. The couples will have to live with their new wives for one week and learn to adjust to the swap.
Baldwin is technically not married to Isabella Hofmann, but this has not stopped ABC from including her in the wife swap. She will switch lives with Halima Jackson for one week, but both women will experience surprises during the show. They are not prepared for the lifestyles they encounter, and viewers will get an inside peek into the Jackson and Baldwin families.
Halima is surprised to learn that Isabella takes care of the entire home and does not live in a mansion. On the other hand, Isabella is shocked by the wealth she encounters in Halima's home along with the announcement that Jermaine's wife does not do much around the household. Both women must learn to adjust to their new families and follow the old lifestyles before they can institute changes.
Similar to other wife swaps, there is tension between the couples and families from the start. Isabella warns Jermaine she will break him, but he takes her threat as a joke and asks her to see if she can really do it. In the end, the show will allow the couples to reunite and discuss the week at a table.
Fans have been promoting the show on Twitter and posting pictures of his wife and home. He seems pleased with the results of the reality program, but Baldwin is not posting any response. "Celebrity Wife Swap" has plans to feature Angie Stone and Laila Ali on the show this season, but other celebrities have not been confirmed.

Napier Lion W-12 Engine
With an industrial history dating to the early nineteenth century, D. Napier and Son began building aircraft engines in the World War I era. Napier began work on a remarkable new engine, the Lion, in 1916. Its three banks of four cylinders formed a "W" or "Broad Arrow" configuration. The arrangement provided a much shorter crankcase, a stiffer and simpler crankshaft, and a more compact engine than the 12-cylinder "V" construction of other high-performance engines of the period. Napier produced the reliable and widely used Lion series from 1917 until 1932 for military, commercial, and special-purpose racing aircraft.
This early version of the Napier Lion is believed to be a Model II or IIB. Napier manufactured these models from 1918 through 1925 to power many British aircraft types, including the Handley Page H.P.15 V/1500 bomber, Supermarine Sea Lion I racer, and the Felixstowe F.5 flying boat.

Have Gun, Will Travel…
Well, well, the Yankees didn't get their man after all…
Talk about a guy (Cliff Lee) who doesn't mind being a hired gun and throwing home life stability (I don't know what kind of family he has) to the wind.
First, he develops his talents in Cleveland. When they can't afford him, he jumps to Philadelphia to help them make the World Series in 2009. In 2010, he starts out with the "promising" Mariners, but when they completely collapse he is dealt to Texas and helps THEM get the big show.
Now, after being courted by the Yankees and Rangers, he decides to go back to Philly to join a starting rotation that would also include Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels, and Joe Blanton.
What a crazy guy (although, the kind of checks he's cashing must be incredible)! I guess if you don't mind not setting down roots anywhere, more power to him.
1 Comment
See sometimes even a friendship can not make a person pick a city like NYC.
In all seriousness, Cliff Lee made a hard choice, but one that I respect a lot. And it is not because he left money on the table. It is for the simple fact he saw that the Phillies ( in my mind) had the best chance to string together some postseason runs that could result in a ring ceremony.
Huge kudo for the Phillies front office that might have caught some flack for letting Werth walk 60-odd miles to the South.
But Werth's departure might have opened the door for the Phillies to wander in as the mystery team and steal the thunder, along with a bright and shiny Christmas gift.

I have two partitions on my laptop, I created a new one when installing windows 8 pro because windows 7 wouldn't upgrade to it for some odd reason. The main partition, which has 631 GB ( has windows 7 installed on it, and the second partition is 49.9 GB and has windows 8 installed on it.
What I need to do is remove windows 7 from the other one (Yeah its dual booting), make it so it boots straight into windows 8, without showing the dual boot screen, and also merge the two drives together.
Only problem is, I have no idea how to do this.

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. — Someone undertaking a coin laundry venture for the first time invariably has questions about location, price, equipment mix, and more.
It is questions like these, and a host of others, that have prompted the Coin Laundry Association (CLA) to develop a New Entrepreneur Workshop for potential laundry owners and investors. Chicago's Hyatt Regency O'Hare Hotel will host the one-day workshop on Sept. 12.
"The New Entrepreneur Workshop will be a one-day, nuts-and-bolts workshop that will cover everything an entrepreneur should consider when entering the self-service laundry business," explains Brian Wallace, CLA president and CEO. "While the CLA currently hosts a monthly investor webinar for those contemplating the laundry industry, one hour is simply not enough time for anyone to learn everything they need to know."
To make sure entrepreneurs are positioned for success before getting started, the workshop dives into topics such as:
- Overview and Trends for Today's Laundry Business
- Demographic Analysis and Site Selection for Laundries
- What's a Laundry Worth and How to Prove It
- Show Me the Money: Financing Basics
- The ABCs of a Successful Laundry Lease
- A Day in the Life of a Laundry Owner
"As a former laundry owner, I can tell you that there is nothing more important than doing your homework before making that initial investment," says Michael Sokolowski, CLA executive vice president. "The laundry business is a fantastic business to be in, but like any industry, success starts with a solid plan, which is what we hope this workshop will provide to potential business owners."
The workshop is open to CLA members and non-members. To learn more about the conference and to register, visit the CLA website or call 800-570-5629.

Retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Esther Tomljanovich will present "Decisions, Decisions–At the Court and In Your Life" Monday, Sept. 10, 6 pm at Anoka Ramsey Community College Coon Rapids Campus. The Student Senate and the League of Women Voters (LWV) ABC League are co-sponsoring this event. The public is invited to attend. Social time and refreshments at 6pm; Justice Tomljanovich's presentation at 6:30.
Justice Tomljanovich served on Minnesota's highest court from her appointment in 1990 until retirement in 1998. She was part of the first state supreme court to ever have a female majority. Prior to the Supreme Court, Justice Tomljanovich served as a district court judge where her leadership capabilities led her colleagues to elect her as the first woman assistant chief judge in Minnesota. She broke many barriers when she entered Saint Paul College of Law (now William Mitchell College of Law) and graduated in 1955 as the only woman in her class.
Tomljanovich addressed LWV ABC at an Equal Rights Amendment rally in Anoka in 1977 shortly after being named as a judge for the 10th District Court.
Justice Tomljanovich's presentation will include a brief synopsis of her background and journey to the bench with an encouraging conversation for being involved and informed and aware of the effects of decisions made along the way, using the two recent amendment decisions as a focus.
Anoka-Ramsey Community College is a non partisan organization and neither supports or opposes any position on political issues.

Making a difference. It's in our culture and code. Nearly every day, we unleash initiatives focused on making the world a better place. To date, we have volunteered over 50,000 hours in our local communities during our annual Monster Help Day and donated more than 70 billion impressions to over 500 non-profits that our teams, advertisers and consumers care about most.
Our philanthropic and volunteer efforts center around three key areas:
• Investing in women and youth
• Strengthening our local communities
• Empowering our audiences to join us in doing good.
Investing in Women & Youth
No company rallies around women the way AOL does. We do this with brands like MAKERS, Cambio and BBG Ventures and leadership teams led by top female talent. We also pursue programs aimed at cultivating the next generation builders of culture and code.
Our initiatives include:
The AOL Charitable Foundation
The AOL Charitable Foundation is a bold new chapter in our citizenship story that is focused on improving the lives of women, girls and underserved youth through:
• Fostering leadership and empowerment
• Improving economic opportunity
• Access to education and technology
• Cultivating creativity
The Foundation provides funding to non-profit organizations working in these arenas as well as providing opportunities for the people of AOL to lend their talent and skills to benefit the organizations and the individuals they serve. The Foundation celebrated its launch in December of 2014 with grants to four local and national non-profits. For more information on the AOL Charitable Foundation, please contact email@example.com.
Leadership & Mentoring
Partnership is at the core of our leadership and mentorship initiatives. AOL works with many organizations to connect underserved youth with our teams to learn more about work, technology, creativity, coding and collaboration. We concentrate on three areas:
• Internships
AOL partners with Year Up to provide six-month internships to low-income young adults eager to get the training and opportunity to pursue professional careers. Learn more about Year Up here.
In 2014, a group from Girls Who Code partnered with AOL to develop Cambio, a website built by girls, for girls.
• Mentorship
The Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York Mentoring Program and AOL team up to pair 10th graders from the Bronx with AOL mentors. Over an eight-month period, students learn about professionalism, teamwork, communication and problem solving.
• Career Exploration
AOL helps underserved youth and girls explore media and technology careers through interactive activities with our brands and different teams working across the business. We partner with All Star Code, Futures & Options, Step Up and Girls Who Code. Read about a Career Exploration visit with a career panel lead by Bob Lord, Global CEO of Aol Platforms, here.
Strengthening Communities
With offices around the globe, AOL is a part of many local communities. Nearly every day we rally our talent and technology around the causes that matter most to us, our neighbors and partners in these locations. It's our teams that lead the charge, through volunteerism and philanthropy. Highlights:
Monster Help Day
On one day, once a year, AOLers around the globe volunteer for a range of community service projects outside of the office. In 2014 alone, AOLers chalked up 11,000 service hours on Monster Help Day. This is a tradition that Tim Armstrong, CEO, started in honor of AOL's 25th birthday!
Matching Grants & Volunteer Time Off
AOL matches employee contributions as well as provides AOLers with three days of paid time off to volunteer with the non-profits they're passionate about.
Walk & Run Program
AOL supports employees who team up to run, walk and cycle for their causes. From marathoning to fundraise for the American Cancer Society to cycling to benefit cancer research, AOLers go the distance for their charities.
Empowering Our Audiences
Every day, AOL unleashes its technology to empower our audiences to learn more about causes and support them easily. Some of our initiatives:
• The AOL.com Cause Module
AOL is the only major publisher to donate space to non-profits on its most premium property, AOL.com. Our cause module sits at the top of the homepage every single day of the year, easily spotted by 7 million daily users.
• Disaster Relief Tools
In times of disaster, AOL brings related content to the forefront of every brand, providing valuable information on how to take action and help others.
• Pro-Bono Media & Content
Our clients' causes are our causes, too. We leverage our culture and code to help them educate our audiences and inspire them to make a difference. We also support the Ad Council to create and distribute pro bono campaigns.
• Creating Cause-Consumer Connections
We invite cause leaders to join us for interviews with moderators and viewers on HuffPost Live, our live streaming network and through BUILD speaker series. It's a chance for them to raise awareness and start a deeper conversation with consumers who can help them.

Engrave "Stealing from Death..." CD/LP
12.) everything pictures black.
an extra piece of human horse power meant to be structured into an assembly line tranquilizing routine stealing time dying on cue for the higher price exploring my frame code number 6079 the next drone in line number 6079 hollow backs and swollen fingertips my coughing fit has a sputum that`s bloodred simple process regurgitation plain function remains humankapital bestimmt die selbstverwirklichung wind up with a fuck up without get up without let up without hold up and coming off quite short the time clock never stops watch the second hand passing around picture the moment of death.
...our destination is the workforce. we all are destined to mold into the workforce at one point in our lives, some earlier than others, some later. if we strip our lives down to the basics of survival it comes down to eating and sleeping. to provide those two basics we have to engage in some sort of work ( that is unless you`re willing and strong enough to live on the streets ). we`re mostly selling our labour or the products of our labour to another person, the bossman or whatever, and we`re doing this for most of our lives, most of the day and most of us are doing it for low wages. we are basically spending the best years of our lives in slavery. i already made my experiences with the `real life´ of working and it sure was hell, working your ass off in a factory for half of the day, getting screamed at by some asshole with an inferiority complex and being tired for the remains of the day. right now i am still studying, getting prepared for a future joblife. i have been fortunate enough to do this, just pushing back the unavoidable decision to sell my life away a little bit further, because i am really afraid to make it. i really can`t imagine my life ten years from now on and i don`t want the clockface to dictate my life.
2.) optimum head movement none.
potential ambiguous self lulled to sleep breathing just a stale flickering haze of white washed terms simple black and white thoughts conveyed goddamn your black and white thoughts euer schwarz weiss system so tired of swallowing this shit any deviance is pictured black optimum head movement none pinned down handed down ideal images prescribing a linear process play pretty play living dead insecure shoulder tension painting this optical illusion this liberalism is spilling just rhetoric device contest its totality ventilate the rotting stench to insist on self constitution perspektivwechsel ausgeschlossen insist on self constitution.
gender, race and social status are just abstractions that divide our lives into certain categories. we are raised in a society that teaches us to behave according to these abstractions and we`re supposed to fulfil our role expectations. however life isn`t some one dimensional, rigid process, life is fluent and can`t be confined into some mold. however society does its best to do so. throughout our socialization ideals and aspirations are conveyed to us on how to live our lives, molding our characters for all time. we are taught these things until we believe them to be true, or at least those ideas are implanted within our minds so far as to where we don`t question or confront them. why are we starving ourselves and sweating in some gymn, the modern experimental lab, for the perfect body when we know it`s stupid, why do so many girls ( and boys ) have anorexia, why are we constantly trying to fulfil expectations others than ourselves? because we have been raised in a climate of consens and fear and it makes different desires and ideas that much harder to obtain, espescially when they`re socially sanctioned. for example i believe all humans to be bisexual, but with the ideal of heterosexuality and with this homophobia being taught to us from day one few will even consider it.... i don`t know...i`m just scared that my thoughts and feelings aren`t mine after all...
7.) houston syndrome.
auf der rückseite des mondes kein kontakt zur außenwelt and it`s going to take more than a rocket scientist for us to reach the surface again hurts when knowing these syndroms wie fremd steht man sich gegenüber man verhärtet zusehends rashly uttered words are eating at me inside me always beating the fuck out of a herd of dead horses lack of words bitten my tongue because this is a fight no one can win maybe we are both hurt scared maybe it`s just me failure to cover the distance right now a way back seems longer than towards the final destination den umkehrgrenzpunkt bereits überschritten i hear someone say the trick is to keep breathing glassy eyes just stand there awaiting the punchline you know you have to stop when i start to scream.
conversations among friends sometimes tend to get out of hand, joking around one word leads to another and the tone can easily get rash and harsh. pun or joke intended or intentional mean, we have to realize that our words can hurt each other, i have found this to be even moreso among those you trust and love. insults from those supposed to know and respect your feelings hurt more than anything else. how can that person you trust and like so much treat your feelings like shit, have you been taken in that much by that person? what makes things even worse is when the other one doesn`t realize the situation and just keeps beating the shit out of a dead horse, continuously treating your feelings like shit. but maybe it`s just me, maybe i just can`t take a fucking joke, or maybe it`s our insecurities that we`re too afraid to let others get close that we have to push them away by being cruel to each other. whenever something like this happens it just makes me feel sad. it keeps tearing at friendships slowly hollowing them out until the point when all contact is lost.
3.) the new realism is a texas product replacement.
this is destruction on purpose to erect and praise modern empty space aufbau durch zerstörung another ploy of concrete such pliable reserve lines this blatant display of priorities politics that benefit the industry those are politics of the industry it`s became predictable just a matter of securing subsidies and scraping up pennies for what it`s worth political rationalism along the lines of technological advance practicality only to a degree with the frame of optimum gain placed on everything within these structures nothing means nothing at all plain concessions evade any substance lies feed themselves on concrete walls remember please lost intentions.
9.) blueprint.
lowering the standards to cover increasing demands thriving on this contradiction it`s the bribery of total productivity perpetuating this exploiting structure there is a fine line between previous intentions and material convenience possibly non-existent proklamiert aufbau durch zerstörung um alles leben auszurotten für eine welt aus beton decisions aren`t based on considering long term effects pulling the strings behind the scenes the tyranny of corporate policy revolving around momentary profit intentions exist just as mute conventions easily written off piles of concrete just one more time just one more grave biting the hand that feeds you.
politics are subject to economics and the imperativ of economics is a continuous development of its productive powers. in this way the capitalist society is one of irrationality and contradiction. it is deeply opportunistic, setting priorities according to the maxime of maximum profit, focusing on momentary profit rather than long term effects of decisions. already marx pointed out the exploiting and destructive tendencies of the capitalist society chasing down new possibilities of profit all over the world until there`s nothing left. the destruction of our earth is already at hand: everyday another species of animals vanishes from the planet, are the rainforests cut down and the ozone layer is fading away and then again governments are debating about and quitting something like the kyoto treaty, which is basically just a small step. we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we prioritize economic profit over everything else. the convenience that rules our lives is an obstacle towards urgent measures being taken. it`s saddening that anything that`s valuable but doesn`t throw of profit is left behind in the wake of economic interests, like reservations about human rights abuses from the chinese government being silenced for the sake of german economic relationships.
1.) cowboy mentality.
preliminary thought übersteigt den verstand wissentlich oder auch nicht ganz egal welches leben an eurem zerbricht all this waving of indignation welcomes simple answers to this complexity reason whispers in economics when disparity demands escapes polished propaganda for approval there`s a hidden plot to everything you`re bringing out the dead again and again yesterdays shadows and all their guilt all your footprints lead to ruins it`s all you have ever known and everything will stay the same allowing nothing to change and it`s so sad the price of oil dictating the value of life watching from the sidelines we all end up in the swing of things same ploy as before completely utterly fucked.
the date is march 20th 2003. tonight bombs and missiles started to rain down on Iraq again. In an deliberate event to overthrow its dictator and democratize it the US waged war against the middle eastern country it had first helped to bring up, support its war against Iran and tolerate the massmurder of the curdish minority and then bring it down in the first gulf war... and now again. all this happens in the name of freedom and democracy. however history teaches us that most wars aren`t fought for these noble goals. quite contrary wars are almost solely fought on economic purposes, whereas humanitarian causes are expendable: in response to the september 11th terrorist attacks on New York and Washington the US enrolled in military action against Afghanistan one of the poorest countries in the world. the war of the US and its allies not only devastated the country further it also put the lives of hundred of thousands of afghan civilians at risk. more than five million people were already totally dependent on international aid before september 11th. after the terrorist attacks in America Washington demanded that Pakistan should close its borders to Afghanistan, trapping hundreds of thousands afghan refugees in the war stricken country and cutting off food supplies. lots of international aid organizations were warning of an impending humanitarian catastrophe and no one really knows how many died during the cold winter months. what`s really saddening and frightening about these incidents is that those are just recent examples of a nation`s interests dictating the value of human life and whereas it can be argued that wars might not be fought solely on economic purposes it sure makes the decision to rush to war that much easier, as seems to be the case now again. there really is no such thing as a just war.
5.) ...and what hurts the most is that i can`t do or say a damn thing about it.
it`s repetitious it`s repetitious it`s cyclic maddening these silent conventions paint distorted smiles with just one arm left i`ll defend your recovery i`m in denial of this eventually everything dies falling to uncharted graves easily forgotten momentary motion simply ceases to exist someday we`ll say goodbye so dance while you still can there`s not a single thing to say or do carrying the weight of broken wings but press those eyes lidless anyway to pretend is to know means a kiss on the face of her pretense forever lasts a moment the past is always buried within cardbox memories i don`t want this memory i don`t need this memory i always thought this was meant forever.
some years ago my grandmother suffered a severe stroke. ever since then she wasn`t the person i used to know. stroke followed after stroke and her health and psyche got progressively worse up to the point where she had to be sent to a mental home as she wasn`t sane anymore and her brain was constantly out of focus. after some time in the institution and on medication her health got better so she could be moved to a retirement home. although she wasn`t as confused as before and things were getting better period, it was all downhill from there on, with alzheimer`s disease and parkinson being the symptoms of slow decay. i used to know my grandmother as always being acitve, planting crops in her garden and taking care of everything herself. seeing her now only a shadow of the woman she once was and seeing her slowly dying is breaking my heart. i don`t want my grandmother to die, i don`t want anyone i love to die. ever since i was a small kid i was fucking afraid of death, of the end to all ends. i would love to believe that there`s some sort of life after death, heaven or hell, that your soul lives on, but i can`t. in my mind everything you once were, your body, your soul, just ceases to exist, you are simply erased from all existence. our lives are short and they end one minute at a time, let`s not waste a single breath.
11.) oh come on dude, outgrow your post-whatever phase
black hair dye pretentiousness and tye tainted sassyness congratulations for rehashing a carbon copy from a copy from a copy putting old friends to death is probably a good way of burning bridges you have come a long way baby but all our photographs are yellowed and cracked polished boredom turns into a market scheme you are assimilation our simplicity sways with everthing we have to it smiling swaying sweating screaming with heart with mind with fire and what have you gained from this where have you been where are you going once you are gone you will leave no trace goodbye.
so this is what`s become of you: another indie carbon copy poser singing all the same lame songs about how your girlfriend dumped you. and i could really care less about you, after all people change and i have to respect that. but what really bothers me is when people like you are mocking me or hardcore/punk in general with your stupid grins of belittlement saying you`ve been into that some ago. true there is a lot of shit within the `scene´, an elitist microcosm within society that pretends to be revolutionary and falls really short of it but there is potential in it and i have learned a lot from this. but apart from all your past fingerpointing, moshing or whatever you seem to have gained nothing from this. you can call this just a phase of puberty and never understand what it means to me. this is fire and fuel to me, there are bands that maybe aren`t that good musicians, but they`re putting everything into what they`re doing and being totally sincere in this. and granted we might not be doing the most innovative music but i claim that we are doing it with all of our hearts and sincerity in the feelings conveyed. maybe one day i will change and stop being involved in this, but all the noise, all the words we listened to, all the shows in some basement, all the late night drives, this will always have a safe place in my heart. to you i say good luck, maybe you`ll find some depth and warmth on greener pastures.
8.) touch up asthetic.
the constant humming of the electric`s static a strung out regurgitation of blurred images of synthetically engineered celebrities black and white bullshit in colour on screen the light hits just perfectly stuck in this infinite loophole angles determine perception and my thought process is numbed if we could only fathom the extent of images projected upon desires contrived and cultivated in decades of white noise and glossy facades it`s perfect it`s sterile it`s artificial death relive my role expectations on and on so commonly hours for so many others.
everytime i turn on my tv i get bombarded with images that tell me what i need to look like, what i need to buy and how i need to behave to lead the perfect life. it`s building this kind of body/ possession/ attitude/ behaviour cult and we`re all hooked on their candy coated images. day in day out we`re wasting our time in front of the elctric screen and while we maybe realize that a lot of what we`re seeing is glorified, artificial bullshit a lot of it may pass without notice, but leaving behind a subtle imprint on our minds. most of what is shown on tv is simply regurgitating societies standards. whereas the media definitely has a big influence as a socialization institution, even moreso nowadays than it did in the past, and could offer alternative norms or lifestyles we`re just shown the usual stuff. it`s trivial but think about how many movies have a guy in it playing the main character and how many movies have a woman as main character that isn`t portrayed in traditional women role expectations... we`re force fed their black and white stereotypes and it`s scaring to think about what all may have passed unnoticed and what might have sunken into our minds, molding our characters and norms. just turn it off.
4.) night sky repercussions.
come along red dawn radiate through blood and heart in and out of cellular structures moving out of focus to be moving all the time in every direction at once every second of every hour there`s a desire to run across the orange wet of streets under night skies to be standing at the shore of something really vast to recompense past stagnant days transparency just like the way birds are weighted down by grey thoughts of dusky skies our hearts are heavy with the dance of days forgotten und das sind wünsche leise dialoge old trees whistling forever petaled secrets you have never known breathe in breathe out wishing for every imperfection savour all these moments oh let it rain it clears the streets of the silent armies so we can dance again.
somtimes i just feel so damn confined within my surroundings that i just get the feeling to start running, to hop on my bike, get in my car and just go.... there`s something comforting and liberating in the way the scenery passes you by or the wind blowing in your face. there is pure beauty out there in nature`s simplicity, in trees swaying in the wind, or birds dancing on the horizon. all this seems so much more real then our neon cities. and it`s the sight of green woods, blue skies, of waves caressing the shore of an ocean that put a lump in my throat and butterflies in my stomach. it makes everything else appear so small and irrelevant and shows that there is something more to life than our pathetic little hearts can grasp.
10.) seized and redeployed.
take what you need from whereever you please recontextualization entirely words are only collections of symbols put in some preordained form and it`s already been said before everything is meaningless unless we choose to give it meaning.
self-expression must not know intellectual property. we learn from the theories and philosophies of great thinkers. if self-expression is confined to your own ideas, it is truly confined and how can anyone expect to express something complex as thoughts or feelings in words if we´re bound to the confines of our own imagination. after all there might be few things that are truly new under the sun and what sense does it make to respect a collection of symbols somebody else already put in some form before you. take what is relevant to you and your life from everything around you and adopt it to your own life, make it your own theory, philosophy, poem, song-lyric whatever...we can only gain from this.

Beer Stores
Info on the Beer Store
Jubilee Bar Info
Page / Wine Talk
/ LCBO Info
The Jubilee Queen is a fully licensed
establishment and as such buys all of it's beer
from the LCBO under license. Below is some
general information about the beer store for
those interested customer.
Who Owns The Beer Stores in Ontario
Contrary to what most Ontario residents think (60-70%), the Beer Store is
privately run by three large brewers.
The history of The Beer Store stems back to 1927 when after prohibition
ended the Brewers Warehousing Company Limited was set-up as co-operative
which at the time was owned by hundred's of small brewers.
At first the small brewers only worked together to store and ship their
products to stores that where privately owned however in 1940 the brewers
decided to get together and buy out the contracts from these stores. The
newly purchased stores then had their names collectively changed to "Brewers
Retail Inc" or more commonly know as "The Beer Store".
After years of consolidations The Beer Store is now owned by Labatt (49%),
Sleeman (2%) and Molson Coors (49%) all of which are foreign owned
