After writing yesterday about the dismaying coverage in the Washington Post about the supposed "controversy" regarding the 2010 Smolensk crash, I've been shocked to see how quickly and how effectively the Macierewicz report has spread throughout the international media.

The Washington Post is a fine newspaper. But even the best stumble at times, and they did so today in a way that made my jaw drop. Here's the headline: "New report rekindles questions about 2010 plane crash that killed Polish leader" The article then offers a he-said-she-said account of the "controversy" regarding what happened.Read More

During the Second World War in occupied Poland there was a saying: "Tylko świnie siedzą w kinie" [Only pigs go to the movies.] The point was to boycott the Nazi propaganda films, which spread the most vulgar and violent forms of antisemitism and glorified the leaders of the Reich.

In Dicken's A Christmas Carol, the "Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come" offers Scrooge a horrifying prophesy of his future.

An article in today's Washington Post by Adam Taylor offers a very disturbing comparison between anti-Muslim sentiment in Poland and France.

Idlewild has consistently surpassed its emo contemporaries. On The Remote Part, the group crafts emotional, affecting, vital rock music. Humming with bar-band ferocity (and never self-pitying), Idlewild tops its exceptional 100 Broken Windows by breaking free of the influences that colored earlier albums. U2, R.E.M., the Smiths, the Cure -- echoes of these great and/or infamous outfits inspire the unique despondency of Roddy Woomble's vocals and the band's tight, guitar-bass-drum onslaught.
Idlewild varies the approach on The Remote Part, allowing for acoustic guitars and (on one track) a string section. These deceptively soft moments make rave-ups like "A Modern Way of Letting Go" even more visceral. This band wrings drama and pathos from elemental arrangements and a bone-dry sound. There's not a wasted second on "Tell Me Ten Words" or "Out of Routine" as Idlewild interlocks melody and propulsion.
Frankly, "emo" is too wimpy a word for what these guys have achieved, and "punk" is misleading. For more than half a year, Idlewild's American fans have either had to wait for The Remote Part's official U.S. release or pay steep import prices. Now that Capitol has finally issued it stateside, it would be deeply satisfying to watch Idlewild finally get the mainstream audience over here it deserves.

In his outstanding second short story collection (after 2002's The Ogre's Wife, a World Fantasy Award finalist), Parks blends wry wit and profound insight with myths and folklore from around the globe. Noteworthy selections include the darkly lyrical and melancholic "The Plum Blossom Lantern," about Michiko the ghost and her nocturnal trysts, and the whimsical title story, which pits an overzealous saint against a laid-back mountain god. The most compelling entry, "Voices in an Empty Room," features a recurring character in many of Parks's stories: intrepid ghost hunter Eli Mothersbaugh. Ten years after a suicide terrorist killed more than a hundred people at an Independence Day ceremony in Canemill, Miss., Mothersbaugh investigates a haunting. What Mothersbaugh uncovers will change his view of the world forever. Blurring the lines between science fiction, fantasy, horror and spiritual speculation, this compilation of 14 magical and supernatural tales is as entertaining as it is edifying.

Read an Excerpt
The God of War looked at his sister with open admiration. "You are a marvel, Eris, but what's this about?"
She looked up from her workbench, the sweat of honest toil glistening on her plain face. The object on the bench was beginning to take shape. Ares didn't yet know what it was, but he surely knew what it meant: trouble. Ares liked trouble, and so naturally he adored his younger sister. Eris, Goddess of Discord.
"They didn't invite me!" she said. It was more of a snarl.
"Who didn't invite you? To what?"
"Zeus! Hera! My own mother and father! They didn't invite me to the wedding feast for King Peleus and that slut, Thetis."
Ares shrugged. "Eris, you're my own dear sister but it's reasonable that no one wants Discord at a wedding. Especially this one."
"I know what the oracles said but that doesn't matter," Eris said primly. "What does matter is that I wasn't asked. They should have asked, you know."
"Would you go if they did?"
"Of course not! You know I hate parties." She gave him a disturbing look. "You were invited, weren't you?"
Ares nodded. "Weeks ago. I was thinking of not going." He noticed her glare and quickly added, "Out of respect for you, of course." Ares might have liked trouble, but he wasn't a total fool.
Eris turned back to her work, slightly mollified. Being Eris, she was never more than slightly mollified once her anger was in full flower. Strangely enough, Ares, the God of War, was one of the very few who could do it.
Eris smiled then. "Oh, I think you should go, Brother Dear. After all, I am. Invited or not."
There was a hint in her tone that Ares found intriguing. He waited untilthe object of her attention was finally completed. She held it up, flushed with triumph.
Ares just stared at the thing. He examined it this way and that, read the inscription, stared some more. "It's a golden apple," he said finally.
"Yes," Eris said, as if the fact was self-evident. Which, Ares had to admit, it was. Beyond that he was having a great deal of trouble finding the point. "It's lovely," he said, "but what's it for? A wedding gift?"
Eris glared at him. "Of sorts, but it's not just the apple! It's the apple and the word together, otherwise it doesn't work."
"It just says 'Kallisti.'"
"'To the fairest,' yes," Eris confirmed with more patience than was normal for her.
"I still don't understand," Ares said.
Eris sighed a sigh of pure martyrdom. "Just trust me, Brother--go to the wedding feast. You don't want to miss this."
Paris, Prince of Troy, was a very confused young man. One moment he was watching his flocks like any good shepherd who also happened to be a Prince of Troy. All he had done was find an apple of pure gold lying half-buried and dirty beneath a bush, brushed it off, and read the single word inscribed on it: "Kallisti." The next moment there were three extremely lovely goddesses in front of him. The really strange part was that he was having a hard time being happy about either. The situation was playing a lively game of spin and toss with his sense of reality and yet the sheep on the hillside grazed on, unconcerned with the troubles of gods and mortals. Paris rather envied those sheep just then.
"So let me understand this: by the mere act of finding this golden apple I have been chosen by Zeus himself to judge which of the three of you goddesses is the most beautiful?"
Hera glared. "We said that already. Weren't you listening?"
Paris bowed his head. "It's just that I'm unable to believe my great good fortune."
"Don't lie," Athena said. "It's unwise to lie to a goddess. You're shaking."
"My sister's right for once," Aphrodite said. "So tell the truth and choose me and we can put all this unpleasantness behind us."
Athena snorted. "You? I'm much prettier than you."
"Hah! How can you say so? Around the world, legions of men old and young alike quake in their sleep for desire of me!"
"That doesn't make you pretty, Sister Dear," Athena said. "That makes you a brothel-sign."
Hera raised a hand in command. "Squabbling before mortals is unseemly. Besides, we all know the apple belongs to me. Choose quickly, my good Paris."
Paris was having a rough time all around. Choosing seemed impossible. Hera was rather matronly but that didn't detract a whit from her poise and refined, regal beauty. Athena was tall and dark haired, and to call her statuesque didn't even do her justice. As for Aphrodite, well, Paris' knees wobbled and his reason turned to mist whenever she smiled at him.
Paris finally shook his head. "No."
All three sets of goddess eyebrows raised in anger and Paris saw the fires of Hades burning for him in their eyes.
"No? You have no choice!" they said as one.
"Your pardon, Your Divines, but by your own words I have one choice: who is to get the apple. Whichever one I favor, I make enemies of the other two. Disputes between goddesses and mortals tend to be a bit one-sided, if the stories are true."
"Nonsense," Hera said. "Zeus made us swear to this. We won't hurt you. Will we?" All three shook their heads in emphatic denial.
Paris was not reassured in the least. "It's not particularly unwise for a goddess to lie to a mortal," Paris said, "since there are seldom consequences for her. Yet it's seldom to the mortal's advantage when she does so."
All three goddesses merely looked away, whistled or shuffled their feet and tried to look innocent. Paris managed to keep his tone light though the effort cost him. "This is a very important decision, as you no doubt agree. At the least I need time to consider."
"You have until tomorrow," Hera said.
"Early," Athena said.
The Goddess of Love demurred. "Not too early. I need my beauty sleep."
"Yes, you do," Athena said sweetly.
"For immortal goddesses you seem particularly concerned about time," Paris said, but hastily added, "Until tomorrow morning then, Fair Ones."
The goddesses disappeared, and it was only then that Paris put his head in his heads and wailed. "What am I going to do?"
"Not much you can do, really," said someone who hadn't spoken before now. Paris looked up.
Just to the side of where the goddesses had been there was a rather plain young girl leaning against a cedar, a fierce frown on her face. That was just surface appearance; by the glow around her Paris recognized a goddess when he saw one. "Who are you?"
"My name is Eris."
"Not..." Paris didn't finish.
The girl nodded, looking a little less fierce and a little more melancholy. "Goddess of Discord. The same. That's my apple, by the way."
"It is? But you weren't with the others..."
She sighed. "I didn't say I wanted in that cattle contest, dolt! I said it was mine. I made it."
"You made this?" The implication of what the girl--and she did look like a girl, and no goddess--was saying sank in. "This is all your fault!"
"It's my doing. My fault?" She shrugged. "Not in my view. Some few decades ago the gods held a wedding feast for King Peleus and the nymph Thetis. I wasn't invited. Of course I had to do something to get back at them, so I sent that apple rolling in."
Paris held up the apple. "And how, pray, does this get back at them?"
Eris grinned. "It ruined the party, silly. It was a rather good party before those three started squabbling over my gift. Zeus was terrified it would interfere with the wedding itself. He was whiter than frost."
"Zeus? Afraid? Why?"
Eris sighed. "Because the oracles said Thetis was destined to bear a son who would be greater than his father. What if randy Zeus had fathered a child on her before he knew that? Or another god had done so, for that matter? By securing Thetis' marriage to a mere mortal, Zeus kept the child from becoming a threat to his power. And it worked, too. Thetis eventually gave birth to mighty Achilles who, while magnificent, is mortal. The prophecy is fulfilled."
Paris was having a lot of trouble getting his mind to expand enough to grasp the nuances of divine politics and society. All he knew was that, come tomorrow, his life wasn't worth a pile of sheep dung. "Eris, why are you here? Have you come to gloat?"
"I wasn't thinking past the party, to tell the truth," Eris said. "I expected Zeus to give the judgment, and have the other two mad at him. The sly boots wiggled out of it by passing the judgment on to whoever found the apple after he cast it into the world. I've been looking for the apple myself off and on, but you found it first, unfortunately for you." She looked him up and down. "Pity. For a mortal you're not too ugly."
Paris put his head back in his hands. "Too kind. So. If you had known, would it have changed anything?"
"Probably not," Eris said. "I'm a goddess. You're a mortal. Mortals are always getting trampled underfoot as we go about our business, and that's the price of being a mortal. I pay my own for being what I am."
Paris looked up again. "What are you talking about? What could be the disadvantages of being divine?"
Eris nodded. "Spoken with the typical certainty of one who doesn't know what he's talking about. How would you like it if everything you were or wanted to be was out of your hands?"
There was such pain and anger in the girl's voice that, for a little while, Paris forgot his own difficulties. "What do you mean?"
"I mean I'm the Goddess of Discord. Do you think it's because I'm a troublemaker by nature?"
"Meaning no offense ... aren't you?"
She put her hands on her hips. "I feel very strongly and I act on what I feel. I won't say I'm sorry I ruined Zeus's party since I'm not, but that was as far as I meant to go. Yet because I'm a goddess everything I do is an act of creation and has a life beyond me."
"What about the three who were here earlier?"
Eris shrugged. "It's the same: Hera is queen because she's bossy. In a human that's annoying but in a goddess it's worse. Athena actually is very wise when her pride isn't in the way, but no one who takes her advice really understands it, and often comes to grief. Aphrodite is in love with the idea of love. She can't help it and she can't stop, and you know what kind of misery that can cause."
"Not yet I don't," Paris said.
Now Eris blinked. "You've never been in love?"
"No. Nor am I likely to, before the two goddesses who don't get the apple do something horrible to me. Have you?"
Eris frowned. "Love? I don't think so." It was clear from her tone that the question had never even occurred to her.
Paris sighed. "I hear it's wonderful and terrible all at once. It's something I'd like to find out."
"Then do it."
Paris laughed. "How? This time tomorrow I'll probably be dead."
Eris shook her head. "None of those three will just kill you outright; they swore to Zeus they would not harm the judge. That won't stop them from seeking revenge, mind, but they'll have to be subtle about it and subtlety takes time. You use that time to fall in love."
"I haven't been able to do so in twenty years of life. I doubt there's that much left to me, even with the delay."
Eris looked thoughtful. "By Zeus's decree the apple sought an honest judge. So tell me the truth: is there one of those three you consider most beautiful?"
Paris shook his head. "That's another problem. It's like trying to choose among three stars in the sky! I can't do it."
"Then don't." Paris opened his mouth to protest but Eris raised her hand. "No, listen to me--in their hearts each of those harpies knows she is the fairest, apple or no. They just want the apple for what it represents. It's the apple that is their goal, not the judgment as such. So don't choose who is the fairest--choose which one gets the apple. Let the best offer win."
"They're going to bribe me?"
Eris rolled her eyes. "Of course! You don't think they care for fairness, do you? I got you into this. I cannot get you out, but for what it's worth I say listen to what they offer. You make enemies of two goddesses tomorrow, and you and I both know what that means. As long as you're paying the price, choose the merchandise you like best."
Paris thought about it. "Aphrodite ... I could choose love?"
Eris smiled sadly. "You can choose whatever you want. Another advantage of being mortal, though for some strange reason you seem to feel it a curse."
Eris slowly faded away.
"Don't..." Paris started to say "don't go" to the Goddess of Discord, but felt foolish. Still, hers was the closest thing to a friendly voice Paris had heard all day.
Eris just smiled. "Don't worry, Paris. I am Discord. More than likely you will see me again if you wish to or not."
And Paris knew she was no doubt right.
Whatever Eris' skills as an advisor, it was soon clear she made a good enough prophet. That night in his dreams the three goddesses came to Paris. Hera, being Queen of Heaven, arrived first, splendid and regal. She had forsaken much of what made her appear human to enter the realms of dreams. She was more aspect than woman now, all symbol and dark fire. She took a look around Paris's dreams first, but they were rather innocuous, tentative things that night. If she was looking for his heart's desire she didn't find it.
"I can make you ruler of the world," she said. "Most men would like that."
"If I give you the apple?" Paris said.
Hera glared. "Of course if you give it to me, fool!"
"It is a fine offer," Paris said.
"You won't get a better one," Hera said, and then she left. No haggling, no chance for discussion. Every inch the Queen of Olympus. Paris shrugged and got back to his dreams.
Athena was next. She appeared in full armor and glory blazing, but it was only a dream and Paris was not consumed.
"I offer you great wisdom," she said.
"For the apple?"
"If you can ask that, then you need my gift more than you think," Athena said, and that was all. She vanished.
The dream was calling Paris back. It threatened to turn into something pleasant and vivid, but Paris knew there was no point. He waited for what he knew was to come.
Where the other two simply appeared, Aphrodite made an entrance in a golden chariot pulled by lions. There was one other difference: where the other two told Paris what they would give him, Aphrodite asked a question.
"All right, Mortal. What do you want?"
"I want to fall in love before I die."
The goddess frowned. "Is that all?"
Paris remembered what Eris had told him. "Since I'm likely to die very soon, I consider that a great deal," Paris said. "And neither great wisdom nor great power will do me much good in these circumstances. So I'm asking for what I want."
The Goddess of Love nodded. "For a mortal, you're fairly quick. Yes, it's unlikely those other two harridans will let this go, even though by all right the apple is mine anyway. Very well; I'll grant you your wish if tomorrow morning you give the apple to me."
"I'll give you the most beautiful mortal woman on earth as your bride. You'll fall in love then, I wager."
"You mean Helen of Sparta? She's married to Menelaus!"
"You give me the apple and I'll arrange it."
"All right, but it's just a lump of gold," Paris said. He knew there was no point, but thought it needed to be said.
"Nothing is just what it is made of," Aphrodite said, and she drove her chariot right out of his dreams. The next morning Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite and sealed his doom.
Eris had been hearing the prayers for a week or more. It was very much a surprise; no one prayed to Eris. No one wanted to attract her attention. Now someone did. Someone familiar. Eris was too stunned to do much about it for a long time.
Finally she turned to her brother. "Ares, can I ask you something?"
Ares looked up from his new armor. "Hmmm? What is it? I'm busy. Hephaestus has no reason to love me and I just know there is a curse on this armor somewhere. I'm going to find it."
"Your armor can wait. I want to know: have you ever regretted something you've done?"
Ares grunted. "I'm a god. Why should I?"
"Don't you regret sleeping with Aphrodite, Hephaestus's wife? You should."
He laughed. "No, I regret getting caught. It was embarrassing. Do I regret sleeping with Aphrodite? No. In fact I'll do it again if I get the chance."
"Knowing that one you probably will," Eris said dryly. "So. Why the new armor? Especially since the Divine Blacksmith is still annoyed at you?"
"Couldn't wait. It's for the war, Sister. Haven't you heard? Paris of Troy has kidnapped Menelaus's winsome wife. There's to be a big war about it. I can hardly wait."
Eris didn't breathe for a while. Being a goddess it didn't really hurt her, but Ares apparently noted the changing colors in her face after a bit. "You didn't know? I'm surprised. It was all because of your apple, you know. Aphrodite told me the whole story. You've outdone yourself, Eris."
"Thank you," Eris said quietly. "I worked really hard on that apple." She turned to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"To see the oracles. As a goddess it's my prerogative to take an interest in the world."
The war was going very badly for Troy. Not too surprising, since most of the gods had lined up against Priam's city. Paris watched the battle from a palace window. Much had been made of the fact that he had shirked the fighting before now, but the truth of the matter was he was better suited to shepherding than fighting, and had never shown much interest in the latter before. Yet Hector was dead now, and without him Paris's options were fast diminishing. His armor had been brought, but he dismissed his servants and stood by the window, watching men die.
"I wish I had the choice over again," he said aloud, to no one in particular.
"Who would you have chosen then?"
Paris turned around. It was Eris. He hadn't seen her since the day of the Judgment. "I prayed that you would come."
"And I heard you," Eris said. "Finally. I suppose you have the right to see your Nemesis ... metaphorically speaking." She came to the window herself, looked out over the carnage below. "I'm the Goddess of Discord. I suppose I should be enjoying this."
"You don't look as if you are."
"It's the lot of goddesses to be defined by their impulses. I wanted revenge, but not this. I didn't know it was all pre-ordained."
"What do you mean, Eris?"
"I mean I've consulted oracles since. If it helps, take comfort that you were fated to choose Aphrodite. A free choice, yet all foretold. Don't try too hard to understand that. It doesn't help."
Paris laughed. "I knew I was doomed. I didn't know just how thoroughly. It's hard to take comfort from that."
Eris shrugged. "How is Helen?"
"Lovely almost beyond mortal comprehension. Also vain, self-centered and with as much wit as a rutting sow. No wonder Aphrodite picked her out."
"I'm sorry."
"Aphrodite betrayed me. She got me Helen at the cost of this war with the Greeks! There must have been another way."
"There wasn't. I told you the war was fated, and even the gods don't muck with destiny."
Paris frowned. "How can you say that? Yes, you sent the apple but didn't this all really start because Zeus was trying to cheat fate?"
Eris smiled then, faintly. "No." Paris just looked at her, uncomprehending, and Eris went on, "As I told you: the oracle said that Thetis was destined to bear a child greater than the father. The oracle did not say, 'Thetis will bear a child who will one day overthrow Zeus.' If she had, Zeus would have been as doomed as you are. Yet there was a danger, and he moved to reduce it. He did what he could. That's what we all do, gods and mortals alike."
"I can do nothing."
"You can't do much," Eris corrected, "but that's not nothing. Take your bow and string it."
Puzzled, Paris did as she instructed. Eris selected an arrow from his quiver and daintily licked the barb. She handed the arrow to Paris. "I'm full of poison. That's my nature," she said. It sounded like an apology. "I've envenomed the tip. Shoot Achilles with it."
Paris just stared at the arrow. "What good will that do? Achilles is invulnerable; even Hector couldn't kill him."
"Achilles is mortal, just as you are. And he is fated to die in this war."
"So? Does that mean I'm fated to kill him?"
Eris smiled then, sadly. "You do see the difference. No, the oracle just said that he will die. This part isn't fate, Paris. This part is the thing you can change. It's a small thing, I know, but as I said we all do what we can."
Paris took the arrow. Achilles rampaged through the battlefield below like a force of nature, striking down Trojan warriors left and right. There was a light of battle in his eyes like a beacon, or a funeral pyre, or the flames that were beginning to rise within the city itself. The screams of the wounded and dying reached up to Paris' window.
"If I kill him, will it save my city?" Paris asked.
Eris shook her head. "No. Yet if you do this, perhaps, something of what it was may be spared. Some of your people may live. I don't know for certain. I do know that if Achilles carries this fight before his death no one will be spared."
"Then it's enough." Paris put the nock to the string.
Eris watched him almost shyly. "I almost forgot to ask. Did ... did you ever find love?"
"Yes, I think so," he said.
"I'm glad about that."
Paris smiled faintly. In fact, Paris didn't think she looked very happy at all, and he understood why. It felt good, understanding one thing the goddess did not.
Eris went on. "It was what you wanted, I mean. You deserved as much, despite Aphrodite's betrayal. At least she fulfilled that part of the bargain."
"No, she didn't."
"But you said..."
"That I fell in love. I did. It changes nothing, but it did happen."
Eris looked confused and, after that, just a little afraid. "Mortals die all the time," she said, as if to herself. "With or without our help. One more doesn't matter..." Her small hands balled into fists. "Oh, sod that!" Eris looked right at Paris. "I never should have made that damned apple," she said.
"Gods and mortals alike make mistakes, Eris. I should have given the apple to you."
Eris just stared for several moments. "But why?" she finally asked. "Because I made it?"
Paris smiled at her. "Most artisans do not own what they make. No, Eris. Because you never meant to harm me, and never played me false. There's beauty in that, and more than I had sense to realize. I should have given you the apple because it belongs to you by right. Kallisti. The Fairest."
For a moment Eris simply looked at him. "You would give the apple to me, the one responsible for all your misery?"
"Yes," Paris said. "I would."
"Mortals are such fools," she said, but it didn't sound like an insult this time. "Choose."
Paris turned back to the window and let the arrow fly.

Russia's adoption ban puzzles U.S. families
MOSCOW From their homes in the American West, the two couples made repeated missions of love to Moscow, each seeking to adopt children with Down syndrome.
Now, with court approval at last in hand, a political squabble with a trace of Cold War friction has derailed those plans, leaving them in anxious limbo.
Brian Preece had been hoping his life as an adoptive father would have started by now, perhaps with a special treat for his 41/2-year-old boy.
"I was planning on going swimming with my son," he said. But instead of splashing in a pool in Nampa, Idaho, Preece and his wife, Rebecca, sat in a Moscow hotel lobby this week, at loose ends after officials refused to turn over the boy even though a court approved the adoption last year.
With them was Jeana Bonner of South Jordan, Utah, on her fourth trip to Russia as part of intensive efforts by her and her husband, Wayne, to adopt a 5-year-old girl.
"There is no process set up, there is no information specific to our case," said Bonner, who left her husband behind in Utah to care for their two biological daughters, including one with Down syndrome.
The families have run into a legal cul-de-sac. After their adoptions received court approval, they expected to wait 30 days for the ruling to be challenged, then get the decree allowing them to take custody, obtain needed documents and take the children home.
But during those 30 days, Russia enacted a law banning adoptions by Americans. It was rushed to President Vladimir Putin's desk in less than 10 days in a surge of anger over a U.S. law calling for sanctions on Russians identified as human-rights violators.
Although Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said adoptions already approved by the courts could go ahead, the Preeces said they were told that the ban has left a legal vacuum.
"The process used to be all streamlined and fairly straightforward. Now there's no instructions," said Rebecca Preece.
"He understands that we're coming for him," she said of the boy. "He knows. He calls us 'mama' and 'papa,' " she said. "We've come for him three times and three times we've had to leave."
A spokesman for Russia's Supreme Court, Pavel Odintsov, said Wednesday that the high court hopes to establish a legal framework for resolving the dilemma, possibly in "a couple of weeks."
The Bonners and Preeces are among 52 U.S. families who'd won court approval before the ban was signed. Hundreds more – perhaps 1,500 in all – were in earlier phases of the adoption process.

Myke's World, submitted by Richard. Scientology is scary. Clowns are far worse. This site is all about a man who is half serious musician...and half TERRIFYING CLOWN! Let's hear some words from Myke's human half...
This shot shows me laying down the groove in early 1998 with Tabasco. In the beginning, Tabasco was a partnership between myself and stand-up comic and magician Rob Power. Rob is one of the most versatile and fun performers I have ever worked with. Tabasco is a band dedicated to good times and having fun. Tabasco plays the hits from the 50's to current tunes but also prides itself on its comic originals. I've since left the band due to personal and artistic differences, but Tabasco continues to play throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Now, let's hear a word from his HORRIBLE CLOWN PERSONA, ROCKY!
I pride myself in keeping my skills honed and fine-tuned. As such I endeavor to attend one to two educational seminars each year to both sharpen my existing skills as well as add new and interesting ideas to my performances. I have attended the following conferences and educational activities:
North East Clown Convention 1998 - focusing on hospital and nursing home clowning.
Clownfest 1999 - parade clowning and working large crowds.
David Bartlett and Carol Crooks Canadian Tour 2000 - balloons, music and humor for all ages.
North East Clown Convention 2000 - musical comedy and performance.
Seriously Funny Stuff 2001 - the healing power of humor, clowning in hospitals and nursing homes.
Clown City's 2002 Convention.
Clowns of America International 2002 annual convention.
Don't even fucking listen to the music on this page...actually, don't even go to this page. On second thought, I realize it's too horrible to subject you to.
"Really, Holmes!" I dropped into my seat, shocked. "You are remarkably tall! What are you, six foot six? Six foot eight?"
As the 19th century diver approaches a giant clam, a flash of brilliant golden light flares from within the shell. I emerge in a swirl of bubbles and do the timeless universal underwater hand signals for the following: ZODIAC KILLER, KKK, BLOOD OF YOUTH
Idleness grows from heresy Jerry. FROM HERESY!
What do Gary Busey, Master P, Snoop Dogg, and Jeff Speakman have in common? We have no fucking idea.
Look at this cat. Why he do this?

I found the instructions for resending the service books and deleted the service books, but have run into a snag trying to resend. The last steps:
3. Click "General Settings"
4. Scroll down to the bottom and click "Desktop [S48......] (3D..."
5. Click "Regenerate Encryption..."
6. Click "OK"
present a problem because there is no "Desktop" or any other option at the bottom...only ***no services***. Any recommendations?

You send the service books by logging into your Blackberry Internet Service account. You will see a service book option when you log in.
Have you checked Entourage to ensure that a copy of the message is being left on the server? try closing Entourage and sending yourself an email. Wait 15-20 minutes with Entourage closed to see if you receive it on your BlackBerry.
You can also check the firewall on your BlackBerry. Go into options, security options, firewall. Ensure that BIS email is unchecked.
As another step you could send am email with a <confirm> tag (including the <> ) in the subject line. Send this from the computer. Wait 15-20 minutes to see if you get a message back confirming that the message was delivered to the handheld. If you get this confirmation message but do not see the email on the BlackBerry it could mean a corrupt message database, which is also easy enough to clear from within the desktop manager (backup/restore, advanced, click on messages on the right and click clear --- this will erase all your messages from your device don't do this unless you are sure it is a corrupt messages database)
If all this fails contact tech support and they can look at the email integration closer, it could be a slew of other reasons that are beyond your control.

I had a similar problem. Only could get emails if Entourage turned off or Send/Receive set up for intermittent checks.
Select each email account
Click the box by "leave copy of message on server"
Everyone probably already knew about such an easy fix but Bolder's advice on it worked for me.
I was having the same problem. Couldn't figure it out and then I found that the phone's firewall was blocking the messages. I removed the block and it works fine now. Hope this helps.

"Thank you so very much for going above and beyond to get our job finished today--we really appreciate it, Ryan!
Raphael (and Manuel) are so wonderful--such hard workers. We are very happy with their work, and their attention to detail, cleanliness and personal touch. I am sure they are relieved to be finished with this crazy job!! I can see why your brother said we would love Raphael--he really is such a great guy--what a sweetheart. We also really appreciate the way you have handled the water leak situation. The dormer looks wonderful--thank you very much. I just want to say that your customer service has really been exceptional all around, I know that this job went a little atypical for you, and took longer than you thought, (and you have a heavily pregnant, demanding, impatient woman on your hands), and I appreciate the way you have handled everything. I/we will have nothing but great things to say about you, and your service and craftsmanship, cleanliness, etc. etc..
The roof looks fantastic!

I have a kingston 4gb micro sd card, which I used in my mobile. Suddenly I have found that the card is not detecting by my mobile after that I have tried to access the card through PC & laptop but none of the device can detect the same. Is it completely corrupted?
have you tried any of the tips above? There are a number of things you can try, but unfortunately, these things do break at some point.
hey tina, i tried all the above tips and none of them worked... it is inaccessible in pc or a mobile phone... what to do... i bought the memory card 2 to 3 months ago only.. help me please...

I have a kingston micro sd card. Its in my hands for over 2 years or 3. And yesterday its was on my cellphone and before I go to sleep, my sd card wasnt recognized in my phone.

How about this, this happened to my daughter and I tried it in my phone same thing. So I put it in a bigger card reader to try it in my computer and it started smoking and when I pulled it out right away I got burned!!

I tested my computers sd slot with another card after it cooled down and it worked fine. It was that micro card, didn't know that could be so dangerous!

what can i do about getting my photos and some voice recordings off my MicroSD card that has snapped, not completely but it's not working?
If the card is physically damaged (snapped) and is no longer recognized by your computer, then there is little chance you'll be able to recover the data yourself or with free tools.
There are data recovery companies that may be able to recover your data, but that's an expensive option.
To hear different opinions and receive all the advice possible, I would recommend you to post this as a new question.
Hello Maam Tina Im John , my microsd was broken by my neice and was lost, inside are passwords, bank account nos and am afraid it will fall into the wrong hands can it be use and whoever finds it can they put it back together and run my files?
was it physically broken? In that case I wouldn't worry. The likelihood that someone finds it who is able to put it back together and read the files is very low.
If it didn't bear any physical damage and was simply no longer recognized by your computer, then someone with a bit of technical knowledge and persistence may be able to access the data.
In any case, you should regularly change your passwords, if at all possible.
If this answer isn't sufficient, I ask you to post a new question. Thank you!
It was broken crosswise and couldnt find it anymore
Yeas it was physically snapped crosswise and broken into 2
Before trying to format the drive losing all of your data run a check disk - you can follow step two from Guy's MakeUseOf Article Here http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-make-corrupt-usb-jump-drives-work/ and if that doesn't work the third step will walk you through Saikat's option to format.
Clean the metal connectors with a rubber or a cotton swab. It could be a physical reason. Try opening it on other devices and if successful, you can do a format to start afresh. These two are the basic first steps, I can think of right now. Let us know if you are successful.
not successful

If electrification drives remain focused only on village electrification, connections and lighting, 'Gaaon Ka Vikaas Garv Ke Saath' will remain just rhetoric. Anjali Sharma, Ann Josey, and Sreekumar N report.
PORT REDEVELOPMENTOn the waterfront in Mumbai
Mumbai's port land should be redeveloped to benefit, among others, the dock workers and slum dwellers, says a recently released report by city based NGOs Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action (YUVA) and Hamara Shehar Vikas Niyojan Abhiyaan. Darryl D'Monte analyses the report.
MUMBAI KOLIWADASThe catch regarding Mumbai's fishing villages
Fishing villages in Mumbai are probably more threatened than those in other cities, due to the dizzy densification of the country's commercial capital, writes Darryl D'Monte.
HIGHWAY TOLLSWhy Fadnavis mustn't be soft on motorists
Sachin Tendulkar's letter to the Maharashtra CM Fadnavis, urging him to reduce toll posts in the state, may just encourage the state further to execute its plan of exempting private cars and SUVs from such charges. Darryl D'Monte argues why that is entirely unjustifiable.
MUMBAI DEVELOPMENT PLANWho will benefit from the 'Manhattanisation' of Mumbai?
The Mumbai municipal authorities have delivered a draft 20-year development plan for the city, but implementation of many of the proposals therein could well deliver the final blow to a city already gasping for breath, says Darryl D'Monte.
KELKAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MAHARASHTRAPursuing development: The perils of the beaten track
The report of a high level committee led by Vijay Kelkar to promote balanced development in Maharashtra has several important recommendations. But will it all come to nought because of its failure to avoid a few conventional pitfalls? Shripad Dharmadhikary explores.
METRO FARESWill passengers have to bear the burden of Mumbai Metro?
Even before the first line of the much-anticipated Mumbai Metro becomes functional, a number of issues have cropped up, most notably one over the pricing of tickets. Darryl D'Monte tracks the arguments, with comparisons to metro rail elsewhere.
CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATIONMoulding the young as change agents
While formal education on climate change is largely structured around doctrines and laws targeted at mature minds, some have realised the importance of building awareness and inspiring action among the younger brigade. Angelica Pereira reports from Mumbai.
WATER FOR MUMBAITravelling afar for solutions nearby
The plan to erect 12 dams in order to meet the water requirements of cities in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region is not only objectionable from an environmental perspective, but also undermines the priorities laid out by the 12th Five Year Plan. Shripad Dharmadhikary reports.
URBAN DEVELOPMENTSpaced out in Mumbai
India's commercial capital suffers from a deplorable lack of open spaces and falls far below both national and global standards in that respect. Clearly, the BMC is not tuned in to the requirements, as Darryl D'Monte shows in his report on the draft development plan for the city.
TRIBAL REALITIESHelping Pardhi children aim for the sun
While state atrocities against Pardhi communities show few signs of abatement, a small school in Mahadev Basti in Usmanabad, Maharashtra brings a ray of hope. Shirish Khare reports.

Jackfruit from the farm of Maharashtra's Prakash Sawanth yielded fruit in a record two years, an unheard of agricultural phenomenon in the country. Shrikrishna D reports on the many specialities of the new variety.
RURAL EXPLOITATIONCutting sugar: The bitter reality
Thousands of landless villagers in Maharashtra's Marathwada region are forced to take up sugarcane harvesting for lack of better livelihood alternatives. Shirish Khare visits the region and uncovers the rampant exploitation and hardships for workers that these contracts entail.

Forecaster Blasts Gore on Global Warming

As part of the Regional Framework for Action on HIV and AIDS Beyond 2015 adopted at the intergovernmental meeting on HIV and AIDS in January 2015, a regional input on the progress made in addressing legal and policy barriers to HIV services is to be submitted to the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Ending AIDS convened in New York, 8-10 June 2016. Towards that end, this report was commissioned for the United Nations Regional Interagency Team on AIDS.
This Guidance Document aims to support country stakeholders including governments, Joint UN Teams on AIDS, civil society partners and others to undertake a review of national laws, policies and practices to enable full achievement of universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services, and to conduct a national, multisectoral consultation on legal and policy barriers to HIV services for PLHIV and key populations.
This document reviews progress made in the Asian and Pacific region in line with international commitments, with particular attention to the Universal Access targets developed for low and concentrated epidemic countries in Asia and the Pacific through regional and civil society consultations in 2006. Based on these findings, the paper also reviews the main challenges and identifies ways forward in scaling up the response to HIV.

Current_Issue.tar.gz - Pocket-Sized Penguins
When my kids were young, it was difficult for me to convince them that penguins were birds. Frankly, they don't look much like birds. They don't exactly sit on bird feeders. Heck, they don't even fly. When they are waddling around in the snow, penguins look gangly and awkward. It's not until you see them in the water that their beauty and elegance really shines. Although I'm not suggesting Linux is awkward, there are some environments in which it really shines. Mobile devices are one of them.
This month, we're covering the whole gamut of mobile Linux. Alexander Sirotkin shows us how to bend Google Android to our will with the Java API. Marcel Gagné shows us a bit about syncing data from our non-Linux BlackBerry handsets with our Linux desktops. Most smartphones lack native Linux software, but thankfully, Funambol fills that gap nicely and supports many different mobile devices. If you have a smartphone, you'll want to check it out.
One of the frustrations of using mobile Linux devices is that the screens (if they have one) are really small. David Harding shows us the nuances of the Conkeror Web browser on small screens. Thankfully, more and more Web sites are being designed for the mobile-sized browser, but a flexible browser still is a great asset on tiny screens. Heck, with Linux, mobile computing doesn't even need screens. Federico Lucifredi shows us how to hack the Western Digital MyBook II. With a little bit of work, you'll be able to take your own Linux server with you wherever you go. Throw a couple in your backpack, and you could be a mobile cloud!
I was sure that for the mobile issue, Kyle Rankin would tell us about the time he did system administration on his server farm from a beach somewhere in Mexico with nothing more than an SSH prompt on his BlackBerry. I may have been wrong with my guess, but Kyle doesn't disappoint this month. He deals with the horrible mistake many of us have made: typing a command remotely into the wrong server. As someone who accidentally has typed his password in an instant message window to someone by mistake, I'd advise reading his column. Twice.
Daniel Bartholomew is back this month to show us Kindle 2. The differences between that and the new Kindle DX are fairly easy to see (basically, it's huge). But, there are some significant differences between the original Kindle and the new regular-sized model too. Daniel compares the two and explains the pros, cons and general interesting things Amazon is offering in its Linux-based devices. If music or audio is more interesting than reading to you, Dan Sawyer tells us all about Indamixx, a recording studio you can take with you on the go. There may be some inappropriate places to set up your mobile studio, but with Indamixx, the problem won't be portability.
Fear not; this month we still have our regular lineup of columns to scratch that geeky itch. Dave Taylor demonstrates using getopt in shell scripts to parse the start flags. Reuven M. Lerner shows us how to check our Ruby code with metric_fu, and Mick Bauer continues his series on building a secure Squid proxy. This issue focuses on mobile Linux, but as with every other month, we aim to please everyone.
I suppose Linux Journal itself is a good example of mobility. Feel free to take this issue with you wherever you go. If you subscribe to the digital edition, you might be reading this on a laptop right now. My only suggestion would be that regardless of which format you are reading, try not to get carried away. Penguins might be able to "fly" underwater, but unless you have a Linux-powered submarine, Linux Journal is best enjoyed on dry ground.
