Wait, What? Ep. 55.2: Press 1 for Yes, 2 for No
Posted by: Jeff Lester on September 8, 2011
Categories: Podcasts
Tags: Bakuman, cursed Indian burial ground, Fighting American, Flashpoint, Graeme, Jack Kirby, Jeff, Kid Eternity, movies, Newsboy Legion, Schism, Thor, Trial of the Flash
And we're back with big finale of the podcast we recorded twice and edited twice (and, in a fine bit of "oh, ha-ha-ha, where's my magical suicide gun?", I had to write this entry twice because the first one got wiped out, ha-ha-ha, no really, where is it?). Included in this installment's topics are The Trial of the Flash Showcase, Flashpoint #5, Thor: The Motion Picture, Flashpoint #5, the first volume of Bakuman, Fighting American and the Newsboy Legion, Flashpoint #5, Kid Eternity, the marketing of Schism, and the comic event that is not Fear Itself #5.
This embarrassment of riches (or, alternately, embarrassment, depending on how you feel about these things) is available to you on iTunes and also right here in this very fine blog entry that will make me lose my mind if it crashes out again before I can schedule it:
Wait, What? Ep. 55.2: Press 1 for Yes 2 for No
As always, we hope you enjoy, and feel free to drop us a note with pictures of naked waffles cavorting out in the sunshine, '60s nudie magazine style, at email@example.com. This blog's spam filters are easily bewildered as it is.
We continue to appreciate your fine patronage!

Quality doesn't always win out in the long run. Jeph Loeb's old stuff like Long Halloween and Superman for all Seasons is Youngblood quality work disguised as Batman Year One quality work and it's gained longevity and has been considered an enduring classic. So you never know.
It's strange, but all the reasons why you say Schism sucks actually make it sound good to me. When I was under the impression that it was going to be the X-Men's Civil War with Wolverine punching Cyclops, I had no interest. Been there, done that, like yet another Superman vs. Batman fighting story. On the other hand, the nuanced take you complain about sounds much more intriguing. I may buy it now.
Another entertaining episode guys. Thanks so much for re-recording. it is much appreciated.
I have to say, I really appreciate how in-depth you two will go in service of your opinions. It's far better than an, "I liked it," or "I didn't," that is found in most other podcasts. That said, I was curious about Flashpoint 5 and JL 1 – having been forced into a comics-buying sabbatical due to financial reasons – and was considering picking them up. But I respect your opinions (and also learned what occurred from the podcast) and will be happy to put that money elsewhere – like the electric bill, or maybe Waid's Daredevil, heh.
I'm disappointed to hear that this first issue of Justice League was so decompressed. One of the initial press releases from DC stated they were going to allow the creators to create the stories in the manner they thought best – no more of this writing for the trade. I know it's in vogue today, and it is how Johns has learned to write comics, which would be a difficult habit to break, but if you're going to stamp a price of $3.99 on the cover and only offer up 24 pages of story – you aren't offering any value for the money put down, in my opinion.
One of the more acclaimed runs of recent runs in recent history is Morrison's & Quitely's All-Star Superman, and that was far from decompressed. Other than that Bizarro 2-parter, each issue offered a complete reading experience, and I think that was one of the many things it had to offer (at least for me).
But, even with the single issue stories, Morrison was able to build toward a larger "uber-arc" making the experience of reading the trade, or reading the issues in one or two sittings, a very different one. It's similar to what Dave Lapham did with his Stray Bullets comic – single-issue stories that built to longer arcs. Why can't we have more of that? Are the big companies afraid that having single-issue stories would make it easy for readers jump off? I'd expect that having multi-issue arcs where little to nothing happens in any given chapter would quickly send people running. But, then again, I'm an "old" guy too.
I've been re-reading my issues of the "Trial of the Flash," and I think Graeme is right in his assessment. There are certainly some crazy things going on in this book, and things that we might deride current creators for trying to do, but Cary Bates gets away with it because it is so entertaining, and because there seems to be no malice toward the character of the Flash, despite the wringer Bates puts Barry, Fiona, et al. through.
I've also been surprised at how much the exposition doesn't grate on me. I always had a hard time with Claremont's writing in X-Men – but I wasn't an X-fan either – but similar writing in these issues I'm reading is, again, fun. The way Reverse-Flash is cackling (I swear I can hear him cackling) as he tells Barry his plan and how he escaped just brings a smile to my face. He's evil, but he's goofy too. I'm really glad you guys mentioned the showcase volume so I could dive into my longboxes and pull these out. Grodd just manifested himself – so I'm looking forward to seeing what he does next (Graeme's remark a couple episodes back has my interest piqued).
Reading this storyline again is also clarifying some other things for me, regarding contemporary comic storytelling. I've been reading Mark Millar's "Enemy of the State" in order to write about my introduction to his work at my blog (only ever read snippets of an issue or bits of a series from him before). And it seems to me that the way in which Marvel and DC and their creators look at death today, especially as compared to how it is being handled in "Trial," and the way they treat death in comics has cheapened it to such an extent that it holds no weight at all. Death should provide the most intense emotional reaction in a reader, but now it's looked at with derision and cynicism and has become a gimmick as pathetic as foil-enhanced, die-cut, scratch-n-sniff covers.
In "Enemy of the State," Wolverine killing pell-mell under the influence of Hydra is just shrugged off by everyone – because he's brainwashed. While Flash's killing of Reverse-Flash, as Zoom was about to kill an innocent woman, has serious ramifications for the Flash and everyone around him. And I imagine it was a pretty serious thing for readers at the time, as well. You couldn't write a story like that today and have it provide as emotional an impact as I am sure it did in the early eighties. Plus, it would only be six issues long.
Finally, looking forward to the DK2 discussion (though I got the preview on Twitter). I have to take Jeff's side on this. I was one of those who did hate it when it was first published (I didn't even bother picking up the final issue, I was so put off by it), but in re-reading it last year, I found it incredibly enjoyable. It moved along at a good pace, had a lot of cynical humor that I enjoyed, and I really appreciated how far away from the original Dark Knight it was. It's not perfect, and I have a big problem with the Dick Grayson reveal, but I would definitely recommend it to people. I do agree with Graeme in that I think it is an "old man screaming at the young'uns" type of book, but I think that's intentional, and I think it works.
But what do I know?
Hey Jeff, this one doesn't appear to be on iTunes yet? Or is it just my system?
@VoodooBen: Think it might just be you, Ben? I can see it on iTunes from my iPhone, and I know other people who've had both podcasts since Monday night. It's the one dated September 5th in the list…
Hope it pops up for you if it's not there!
Found it. My iTunes has been glitchy as hell lately. Thanks, and sorry to trouble you!
I respectfully disagree with Jeff on X-Men Schism. I have been staying away from the X books for several years now. I picked up Schism on the strength of the art alone. I like that there are different high quality artists on each book. The story isn't spectacular by any means, but it is serviceable.
As for a punch up, having seen previews of issue 5,(drawn by Adam Kubert), it looks like an intense battle is finally going to take place between Cyclops and Wolverine.
The problem for Marvel is I have no intention of buying 8 X-Men books a month trying to follow the division of the X-Men into two teams (Team Cyke vs. Team Wolvie). So in that sense, for me at least, Schism is kinda pointless.
I get the completely opposite feeling from Aaron's work. He's very much trying to hit a Millar vibe – hell, I think he's trying to out-Millar Millar, by taking the Millaresque into the realm of outright camp. Where Millar's over-the-top set pieces always make me feel like he's sitting across from me, going "wasn't that AWESOME? huh? tell me that was AWESOME", Aaron's over-the-over-the-top shit makes me feel like he's constantly winking at me and nudging me in the ribs to let me know he's in on the joke. Millar gives you a Venom-infected T-rex, Aaron gives you sociopathic twelve-year-old billionaire serial killers shooting Magneto with guns that fire neutron stars. I am not sure where Jeff got "nuance" out of that.
Jeff: totally a Boom Tube!
Plus the idea of the Asgardians as Space Gods (ie aliens w/ godlike powers and not really deities), which was always implicit in Kirby's work, but diluted by later Thor writers, here made somewhat explicit in the movie.
This was your most entertaining episode yet… Great stuff!
You guys totally Crashed the Flashpoint.
Fo' shizzle, Yo!!
And Jeff: given your Kid Eternity love, might I recommend BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD # 6
After teaming up with Hourman to defeat the Calculator, Batman and Kid Eternity team up to fight General Immortus (assisted by the western Royal Flush Gang). G.I. Robot, Shining Knight, Vigilante, and the Viking Prince make appearances as Eternity's called heroes.
How's that for 22 pages of WEAPONS GRADE AWESOME!

G20 riots
The G20 brought riots to Toronto streets today as angry protesters (the mayor called them thugs) let it be known they weren't in town to simply engage in peaceful demonstrations. Cop cars were set on fire, car windows and storefronts were smashed and arrests were made. Hospitals reported treating a few people for minor injuries.

Oh, and that American Apparel makes me furious. Dumbass girls are fucking TOURISTS and NOT here to actually help any cause. Would like very much to see their homes damaged.
"Fuck the G20"? How about "Fuck t-shirts cause they don't do shit"? Just like the bitches wearing them.
This mentally warped pack took over a peaceful demonstration. The real protester were peaceful exercising their democratic right.
Clearly not. That's the greatest part of this fracas - every jerk I've seen dressed in head-to-toe black, smashing up storefronts and setting things on fire? Have been young white dudes. Oh, those poor white dudes! SO OPPRESSED AND FULL OF RIGHTEOUS RAGE! Society is SO TOUGH and UNFAIR on white dudes!
There was incomplete lack of police presence and most of the area was caught off guard completely. Most of the stores weren't expecting anything and still had merchandise in their windows. I am not sure if there was any looting, but quite a few jewelry stores got hit and had stuff in the windows.
Can we protest the Black Bloc? Maybe we can go and set their homes alight and see how they like their own medicine.
Gah. I'm *SO* mad!
you're right that the police were unprepared. how could you not think yonge street would be overrun by these criminals?
And what's with all the idiots just hanging around 3 feet away from burning vehicles? Are people really this dumb? That picture on your cell phone is so worth it.
@Rachel: i've only heard this from various levels of government, police, etc. nothing from ocap or others who organized protests. if those groups indeed denounce violence and rioting, good for them.
Anyhow in this day and age of teleconferencing, is it really necessary to even hold these summits anymore. Couldn't billions be saved by simply having a web conference.
The pictures are haunting. I am sad that all of this violence and destruction will override the message of the peaceful protestors.
Also, is anybody else reminded of terrorists when they see black blocs?
Those pea-brained G20 vandals don't have a clue about the actual issues, and don't care. 'Protest' is just their rationalization for infantile behaviour. They're nothing but scum.
It's important that the G20 happens and that the political leaders gather in one place to discuss and debate. The security is there for a reason. Of course they need protection and this violent thuggery just proved it. I understand that for some people it is unfair to spend $1 billion dollars on security for the G20. I respect their opinions and I think it's important for the protesters to express their concerns and thoughts. However, the violence and the damage that this so called Black Block group is plain madness and contradictory. What are they trying to achieve in destroying the city? They only proved how much we need security. If everyone was to be free and if there were no governing principles and rules in our society, we would be living in chaos. We all want to feel secured and protected, so do the leaders of G20? And now there are poor victims from this "thuggery" saying the G20 is the cause of these problems. They didn't prove themselves to be worthy. They just wanted to take the opportunity to demonstrate how ignorant they are.
Some idiot was interviewed on CBC radio as saying that the violence was perfectly ok, since it was against the property of evil multinational corporations and not people. He was at a loss for words, though, when the CBC host asked him how exactly Zanzibar strip club was an "evil multinational corporation".
Really, the pampered leftist youth of the city could use a slap to the head and I hope the police provide it. They protest the police state that surrounds the summit, but do so in a way that rather makes it obvious why the police state is needed. Did they expect the citizens to just let them trash small businesses and franchises at will? Morons.
please be safe Toronto...
If you don't like what is happening in your community, here is the great thing about living here, you can run for office and change it. So instead of "blah, blah, blah" ENTER. Why don't you actually go into your community and make a difference?
Talking about "provocateurs" is about as useful as 9/11 conspiracy theory. The cops would have loved to have all collected their fat overtime without incident and gone home. No one wanted this except for the element of thuggish, immature, not-too-bright hard case protesters.
The same people who have invented things that have ensured the progression of the human race from a group of weak hairless primates to the civilization we enjoy today.
I'd bet that even your dildos and vibrators were invented by heterosexual white males!!
LOL @ you and your stupid rants!
Too many of our young white males are being marginalized by stupid dykes like you that couldn't get a date to the prom!!
The 2 soldiers that lost their lives today (as well as the other 148 soldiers )while defending our countries principles.. while some cowardly people behind covered faces terrorized the City of Toronto.
Hopefully, those that participated in these despicable acts are all brought to justice, and given suitable jail terms to stop this madness.
Now.. let us all stand together to end this shameful violence and never ever let it happen again.
Yeah but then they wouldn't be able to justify spending $1.2 billion at the next summit. In the last two G20 summits in Pittsburgh and London, the combined security cost was $25 million.
I have a home, i have an income, I do good. Does that give you the right to take it away because you have less
Aside from that, people got hurt. So no, it's not just property that was just damaged.
Where do you live? I feel like burning down your house. That's cool, though, right? It's just property. I'm sure you're insured.
give you all fair warning that when asked to move or
stop destruction beware cause we will clear area with these FIRE HOSES , please don't make us use them due to
unruly few of you , keep control of yourself's please ..
This is my sugestion
Dear Anarchists,
This is my house and you just shit on my lawn and in my backyard. Go home.
I saw one scene outside of Eatons Centre where one of the BB guys was trying to smash a Sears window and some guy grabbed him and after about 20 seconds his windbreaker helped him slip away... in a way, I sort of wish there was a bit of mob justice on these BB guys and girls, it'd make them fear everyone around them.
they have it coming to them piece of shit protesters!!!!!!!!!!!!
do not need a truck , Fire Hydrant Works Also ..
Which is the greater crime?
Those who want change would do well to take a lesson from the American civil rights protesters in the 1960s.
on one hand, cause a few thousand dollars damage=jail. On the other cause an ecological crisis on a huge scale, kill untold numbers of bird, mammal and marine life, plus cause the loss of livelihood to thousand, you can attend a yacht regatta.
Fixed that for you.
Please explain how we would be better?
PLEASE stand-up for your cause and help those that are trying to help you!
yeah that makes sense.
What right do we have to attack *any* country? Unless the Afghan army is flying warplanes into our territory first, *we* are the aggressors.
It's funny how some of the commenters here lash out so much at a small group of vandals but seem to have little outrage for all the civilian deaths we are responsible for in Afghanistan and elsewhere. State violence is largely hidden from our eyes while street crime is shown in full detail on every news channel round the clock.
I'm pretty sure the cops have been following them through the night and are probably waiting for them to amass together. Then hopefully the rubber bullets will fly into their faces.
I don't want to see those thugs back on the street tomorrow doing more of the same. Protesters I have no problem with. Black Bloc degenerates - surround them with force when they appear and don't let them go - let them disappear.
Shame, BlogTO. You're no better than the mainstream media.
Oh yah brokens windows, yes the broken windows represents our broken society and our broken societal views!
@smiley, and you knwo cause you they were the jerks in highschool you always hated? Doubt it. I actually have a buddy that's down there. They already make enough money doing there jobs as is, this is probably the lsat thing they wanted to do.
I'm not saying that the G20 was necessary, at the same time necessary to even have in our city. It could of been done wirelessly over the internet or even done on the Toronto Islands. Just I think Canada becoming a police state is probably one the last things that will happen. I'll definitely be standing out there with them if I see things heading that way!
As to the their sexuality, that wasn't evident from the videotape? However it is not unusual to see argumentation related to homophobia (and transphobia, too, for that matter) as forms of systemic violence included radical anarchist rhetoric as justifiction for this kind of violence. So I wouldn't be too cavalier about those assertions, either.
Nothing will change, no matter how loud your voice is. Sad, but true. Let's channel our energy for the next federal election and work to get Harper out of office.
more to come...
People exposed the attackers as police agents.
They were wearing police issue boots and when confronted they ran to the police line for safety.
It's all an act to scam the public into giving up their rights.
Remember, the IRA nailbombs were organized by a UK intelligence agent. It's public record, go look it up.
They can afford to fix things, they're not mom and pop shops and it's not really the same as going to someone's house to break stuff.
If you have that much sentimentality about Starbucks then maybe their "You're an individual! You're special! This is your space!" marketing is too effective.
Just sayin'!
However, it still sucks that those parts of the city are a mess, but I'm seriously not going to shed any tears for Starbucks as whole, maybe just some for the people who have to work there. I'm sure they'll fix them up quickly though.
Now, if they had tried to come near the place I work (family run business), I would have been out front with a bat.
While I understand your anger, I think we do live under a government that gives us reason to protest--that protesting should just be peaceful.
There doesn't have to be a murderous dictatorship to want change, and freedom is something everyone should have. It would really suck to have to start figuring out who 'deserves it'.
You *do* remember 9/11 right? You know when terrorist controlled aircraft attacked 3 different locations in the U.S?
You know - like *exactly* how you said "flying warplanes into our territory". Umm ya - I'm going to have to take your critical thinking badge away.
You see, the Taliban gave tacit, if not explicit support for Al Qaeda to attack the west. They attacked the west in '92, '93, '98 and 2000 before 9/11 and 7/7.
So - ya, we were justified in our self defence to attack Afghanistan... unfortunately.
If we are so against the Taliban, why did we (the U.S.) put them in power in the first place and support them financially and logistically while they committed their *worst* crimes (and we knew of them). Why were they invited to the White House and commended for their policies while the U.S. government knew what they were doing. Where was our supposed concern for women's rights, etc. then?
Unfortunately your comment demonstrates the well-meaning ignorance of the typical Canadian. You don't have to believe in conspiracy theories to know that the world is not really the way it is portrayed in our media. Open your eyes, all the information is out there if you make the effort.
What are we supposed to do?
We pay their wages. They have a responsability to us. They live a pretty good life on our money.
What right do they have to hold secret meeting behide our backs?
Yes I want to know if you are having an affair, if you have broken your word to someone whom you took a vow with-then how far can I trust you-you don't even know me.
I think that all people that are hired, should be in a position to be fired.
But alas Canada is not a democratic country. I just wish more people could see it.
I think that like with all previous G- meetings the idea is to ensure that the meeting's agenda and proceedings should be removed from public view in favor of smoke, broken glass,and heavily armed police.
I suppose the whole event has played out exactly as planned.
The state is well ahead of the people at this point.
Are you familiar with the Bush family
and their personal,political,and business connections there.
The US history of war and subterfuge and in the middle east goes well back before 9-11.
Paging Kelly - STFU. Go back to sticking your head up your ass.Or better yet - hook up with OneVoice and I"ll buy you both a one way ticket to Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan.
Black Bloc: all white males -( clearly biogots) who hide behind masks - just like the KKK and Al Queda - only dumber!
What a bunch of idiots.
Thanks to the Toronto emergency services for doing all they have thus far.
Man, I effing love Toronto :)
I am curious about the consequences of the Summit and whether there will be any for Harper.<p>
The violence and vandalism that streaked through the downtown area infuriates me. Anyone who participated in these acts, the ones which completely derailed a perfectly legitimate protest, should leave this city immediately, you are not Torontonians or Canadians as far as I'm concerned.
G20 is unnnecessary to have in toronto, or to have at a place at all.
what the black block have done is outrageous!
First, there were the protesters who, in every situation I saw, were peaceful. Depending on where you were and when, they would make up 10-90% of the crowd.
Then there were the curious onlookers - people like me who live in the middle of the downtown core who just wanted to see what was going on - again depending on when/where, numbers were 10-90%.
Then there were the vandals/anarchists who were neither curious nor protesting and simply wanted to shit disturb and destroy stuff. They were unbelievably small in number and I mostly saw them in groups of 1 or 2. Out of the entire crowd they probably made up less than .1%.
The media have been atrocious and editorial in referring to everyone they see as protestors and CP24 and Ann Rohmer in particular were beyond egregious in their attitudes and generalizations. Living in the exact area where cp24 was located I was in the middle of it all and their reporting was biased and amazingly incorrect most of the time.
I must say, however, that while the police were restrained in that they didn't just rush headlong into the crowd and start whacking people and the arrests were definitely more surgical in nature, the massive police presence itself was gasoline for a fire that was very very small and contributed largely to the unrest. The aggressive stance (feet wide apart, arms on shoulders), banging on riot shields (when nothing but peaceful protest was in evidence), and shouting things like "GET OUT OF THE WAY, I'M NOT STOPPING" when marching up a mostly empty side street instead of just saying "Please move, we're coming through", highlighted the very "us" vs "them" attitude and confrontational nature that had been drummed into the police corps from the ISU.
From all that I saw in downtown Toronto yesterday (and I was all over the place), the confrontations would have been smaller, the damage less intense, and the overall atmosphere substantially improved had the police force been at least 50 if not 80% less (or at least less visible).
The thugs need to be dealt with, as Canadians we all feel that way, but to be intimidated by your own police, being paid with your own tax dollars, engenders feelings of anger and oppression (and I'm sure many of the police also hated the situation they were forced to be in). I love this city, I appreciate it's safety and think our police do a great job, but the image of riot officers by the hundreds along the Queen West will be an image I'll never forget. I guess both Toronto and myself lost a lot of innocence today.
So - you first start off by asserting that 9/11 could be justified b/c of 500k lives lost in Iraq/ME- thus 3000<500k, so it's justified. Again - two wrongs don't make a right. Secondly, those 500k lives lost, were totally unnecessary. The Middle east is run by corrupt plutocratic leaders. I am sure the U.S. / West get no satisfaction from sanctions - we just want change. Do you object to sanctions on Iran after how the Iranian government put down *real* opposition to a democratic movement? Maybe you'd prefer we sat out of involvement - even when the opposition leaders in Iran beg/plead/bleed for our assistance...?
Ask yourself one question today - then look for the answer - why is Gaza and The West Bank blockaded by Egypt and Jordan? (hint - the big bad U.S. is NOT the answer)
Secondly - you are also correct - we (the west) didn't care how Afghanistan treated their wives and daughters - until AQ attacked us. Why did the west like the Taliban? Well, they had almost entirely stopped opium production. So, now use your critical thinking - why would we attack a government that we had previously seen as a friend? What had changed? Hint - the 9/11 was an inside job theory is also *not* the right answer.
My friend - my eyes are wide open - and I have been studying these topics for a lifetime. You are correct that the media are not your friend (what bleeds -leads) but the crazy whacko side conspiracy theories are so poorly reasoned to be farcical.
Oh rich minerals and resources inside Afganhistan obviously there was a reason to attack Afgan.
Really - you think you can just sneak in a little "which any student of history knows is correct"... why - because you say so?
Are you really going to start down the road of "well THEY/WE started it". That is incredibly juvenile. How far back in history are we going to go? The crimean war? Blame this on the crusades? Maybe the expulsion of the Israelites out or Egypt? Really?
Maybe it's time to think that modern states don't really like war - they are expensive and messy, but sometime necessary to protect our way of life. I am pretty sure most Canadians don't like the war in Afghanistan - but I am also sure that they would rather be fighting in the sh*thole of Afghanistan than watching our buildings attacked, repeatedly.
How many airplanes need to be attacked/hijacked? How many subways need to be bombed? Please tell me when you feel it would be justified to fight back?
As to the 1Bil in mineral resources in Afghanistan - it isn't like we are going to steal the minerals (how?) - the Afghanis need to mine them (hint - CHINA already has an operating copper mine in Afghanistan) - we are helping the Afghanis' find a means of economic development that doesn't involve poppy production...
That's all I have to say.
Were both sides using citizens of Toronto as a human shield?
Was this an exercise to intimidate everyone who wants to protest peacefully?
Though described as "anarchist" this group behaves more like a mercenary army. It's possible that they were hired to create this disruption. Was this set up to justify the all the riot police and the big expensive fence and security operation?
It hardly represents how people in Canada normally act. I hope that our government will think twice before ever holding any such event in a city downtown again. We have the entire Northwest Territories and lots of small towns up there. Why not just move the G20 up north? Then they won't have to shut down businesses and put them at risk of damage from rent-a-vandal gangs working for god-knows-whom.
I'm happy to cite my sources for your research/info.
As to your link - ever read Thucydides?
check that out, this kind of bs happens everywhere.
Once the confrontation gets going, all the issues are snowed under. There's not much point in being out on the street unless it's to try to get video documentation of who is actually committing vandalism.
To say that we have our freedom now because they have been fought for is still confirmation bias. AlthoughI agree that we had to follow the US into war, but continue to this very day i think is ludicrous. They claim weapons of mass destruction yet no evidence was provided.
check that out, this kind of bs happens everywhere.
. 150 Hells Angels would have settled those black bloc punks down in 10 minutes.
F#ck you!
I wanted proceeding to be broadcast.
I was going to base my next vote in part on what was said on my behalf. I was denied that information.
I'm left with the government's spin.
Democracy cannot work that way.
What better why to avoid talking about the issues than to break few windows and throw the naif media on a tangent . Half of these so called anarchists kids work for the government.
Also, looking at the "Resistance is the solution" sign, it makes me think of every single stupid pet cause that the Uoft groups UTSU, No One Is Illegal, OPIRG, and SAIA have advocated with the same sign. Coincidence?
I can't even believe all of this is real. My heart is broken.
I was thinking of saying something impolite - but instead I'll just say this;
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
(Also, there are two Rachel's on this thread; the one above is not the one who's commented in this thread and the others.)
I wanted proceeding to be broadcast...."
I too wanted to hear more details about the actual policies, and the various arguments pro and con advanced by different countries' representatives.
And rather than confrontational or even peaceful demonstrations, I would favour the approach taken by a group concerned about the dwindling supply of clean water and how it is to be cared for and sustained. Those people assembled a group of informed activists and scientists for the 2010 Fresh Water Summit, held a few weeks earlier in Bracebridge, Ontario. Attendees made presentations, discussed options, and wrote a communiqué that was delivered to the world leaders before they met in Toronto.
This communiqué is online at:
Anyone who supports this initiative is also invited to sign a petition and leave a comment if they wish.
Two hours of highlights were aired on CBC Radio's IDEAS program under the title "Speaking Truth to Power" at 9:00 p.m. on Thursday and Friday June 24-5, 2010, thus providing Canadians with more insight into the issues than a street demonstration would have achieved. (www.cbc.ca/ideas/ and look in the program archives -- it is not yet clear whether this will be a free podcast -- please request it!)
Because of this Fresh Water Summit, the world's elected leaders and their advisers have been made aware of the concerns and options for protecting and sharing clean water. But if the folks concerned about water had merely done a protest march and waved signs, nobody in the Toronto Convention Centre would have heard anything about it, and the public would also have heard nothing.
People who want to influence the world policy negotiations should adopt the model of holding a summit about their topic of concern, preparing a consensus report, and delivering it to world leaders. There's no future in adopting an adversarial stance and milling around outside the police barricades. You are only marginalizing yourselves.
(Didn't those burning cars and smashed glass kind of look "staged" to anyone else?)
Why are people so upset about a riot, what about billions of dollars spent on a useless meeting of fake-world leaders when that could have gone to the setup Oil spill in the Gulf, and why is every g20 member country that same country corporations run sweatshops.....Italy,..canada...us...france....the list goes on!!!!!!!!!!!
Like what was said earlier extroadinary claims require extroadinary evidence.
If you want to go making statements like that we mgith as well say that, the people who smashed zanzibar were from religious groups, and feminist groups posing as black block who are against women being seen as object.
on the side. THOSE BASTARDS!
In times past, people were suspicious of their rulers. This was because, lacking a mass media, it was rumor which conveyed information, and rumor has no respect for authority.
In our world today, it is the media which we rely upon for our information, and even rumors have become subservient to the mass media. In those places of the world which lack the electronic infrastructure with which to convey the mass media, rumors continue, and governments seek to control the population through violent force. In nations such as ours today, the power of the media has become such that the government is able to control us so effectively that violent force is no longer required. As a result of this lack of violent oppression by government, we have been deluded into believing that we live in a democracy.
One element of the media's focus over the last hundred years has been to discredit any theory which can be classified as a "conspiracy." As a result many people have come to view conspiracy theories with suspicion, rather than viewing government with suspicion. This is a very strange reversal of human opinion, and it is important to note that this is a very recent development in the history of mankind. Conspiracies have driven political direction since the beginning of civilization, and are the rule rather than the exception. It is a testament to the power of modern media that over the course of the last hundred years, a carefully controlled media has been able to condition the population into the belief that conspiracies are the last resort of those citizens who are either paranoid or are white heterosexual males or unable to explain their own failures by any other means.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
Look at those G20 photos. Very strange looking. Totally planned and orchestrated, especially those police car and shopfront photos.
Some of these Criminals were as young as 14 or 16 years! Wonder where their parents were?? If caught, Parents must be held responsible in paying for the damage caused by their criminal kid. No mercy!
I was out there on Sunday, the police were very aggressive. We sang our national anthem and right when were finished the cops opened fire with rubber bullets. Everyone ran in a panic and it's a miracle no one was was trampled as lots of people fell around me. There was no need for it, people were just taking pictures and some were chanting.
This was the largest training exercise our government has ever perpetrated. What do you think they are training for?
So in order to show my disagreement with them, I have looked up what their causes are and I will not support them.
Eg: I will not give to panhandlers...ever..and tell them why.
I will ask politicians to get tough on the homeless issue
I will back candidates who want to lower the minimum wage
I will back candidates who want to lower welfare benefits.
You will not hear me in the streets, but you may notice that the change you are eager for comes slower now.
How do I know this, because unlike most involved in these protests I will actually take the time to vote.
If the police had responded equally harshly to World Cup Soccer hooligans, you wouldn't have the jokers who write for Now magazine and the whining self-righteous protesters talking about how this event has somehow heralded the end of Canada, and the loss of our freedom, and a dystopian future, etc.
This was a manufactured event. Stephen Harper was a dummy for organizing it in the middle of a massive city like Toronto. But he did. And in so doing, he brought the eye of the storm onto this city, as every single person with a bone to pick with some pseudo-political issue saw their chance to run wild in the streets and get on youtube videos.
This was not a landmark event. It was a big spectacle, no better or worse, and definitely NOT more important in the grand scheme of things than say, people spilling onto the streets to celebrate a Blue Jays World Series or a Montreal Canadiens playoff win.
Get over yourselves. You didn't change the world and you didn't bring any sort of meaningful attention to your cause. If your goal was to make it onto G20KuruptCop's youtube video at the 1:11 mark, consider the weekend a roaring success.
Otherwise go back to squeegeing windows and holding Darfur fundraising potlucks in your church basements and leave the rest of us alone until you figure out exactly what goals you are hoping to achieve.
To stand here and bemoan the downfall of democracy, or the loss of Canadian identity with the events that transpired in Toronto this weekend, is to give yourselves WAYYYY too much credit.
My friend wrote something much more eloquently than I could (parenthetical comment was my frustration with these people):
"Totally agreed on the parenthetical comment. "Oh, you're such babies for complaining that it was cold and you were wet and you didn't get any food, when there are people in worse situations in war-torn countries!" The difference being, of course, that we are not a war-torn country; we have a standard of decency that is expected to be maintained, and when it is not we should rightfully be appalled. These are rights and privileges that we should be proud to have, and their revocation should not be treated lightly. It's the same reason why there's the big hubbub about the torture inquiry in Afghanistan - we, as a people, are supposed to be better than this, and our authority figures (military, police, or otherwise) are supposed to represent and uphold these ethics, rather than degenerate into thugs in uniforms, even when faced with people who are not willing to show the same respect.
I much prefer the police action of standing the line while Black Bloc hooligans destroyed things nearby than the police action of charging and attacking peaceful protestors. I can even approve of the former as a maintenance of order, prioritising safety of persons over property, but the latter was just bullying with the backing of threats of the law."
I suppose everyone wants an inquiry. Well see how good it did for the AdScam situation!! Tens of millions spent. Counter lawsuits were launched. And in the end, nothing. No one held accountable.
Time to move on.
By the time the riot subsided, 34 people had been killed, 2,032 injured, and 3,952 arrested.
Now that's a real riot.
Police stomped on our rights, by their orders, throughout the entire weekend. Due process, freedom of speech and peaceful assembly and any number of human rights were violated. All for nothing but a show of force.
Come on!! Who are they bulls..g? Now at least they will get MORE
manpower, BETTER equipment and NEWER TOYS to intimidate the general public!! Well done; Great PR stunt!! Only in a World-ASS
City like Toronto. Really pathetic!!!!
Thousands of innocent people were detained and injured by police officers. Those in power granted new laws to authorities which allowed for illegal searches and detainment of anyone who looked suspicious. This included certified media personnel, children and students and even everyday people who were on their way to work. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was abandoned and our government allowed the city of Toronto to turn into a martial law type war zone.
We have spent hundreds of hours editing this footage and posting it, in the hopes of opening peoples eyes to the seriousness of this issue.
We must never let this happen in Canada again! Stephen Harper and whoever follows after him should be made aware, that the most Canadians disagree with this type of mismanaged funds and totalitarianism tactics. We in Canada value our freedom of speech. Even though some opinions may will differ on this subject, one message should ring loud and clear....NEVER IN CANADA AGAIN MR HARPER!!!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!
I know this is way late, but I just realized that my name has been used in this blog. I just googled my name, and found this.
I have never been on this blog before, and the remarks that were said using my name were not my remarks. The language is not mine, the opinions aren't mine, and what was said does not represent me at all.
I appologize for what was said, and the ignorance that it portrayed.

A 63-year-old Terrytown man was found shot to death in a car in Avondale early Saturday, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. Alvin Alexis was slumped over the console inside a gray Nissan Altima whose engine was still running, according to sheriff's spokesman Glen Boyd.
Authorities received a report of gunshots fired around 1:25 a.m. in the 200 block of Capitol Drive, Boyd said. Deputies located the car in the driveway of an abandoned house at 229 Capitol. Alexis was pronounced dead at the scene.
Boyd said Alexis had a criminal history that included charges of second-degree murder, attempted armed robbery, crack possession, aggravated assault and enticing a person to prostitution.
Alexis was booked with the 1987 murder of Corey Henderson, 17, during a shootout in Harvey. Alexis fled and was captured in Houston two years later. The disposition of the case could not be determined Saturday.
Anyone with information about Saturday's killing is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 504.364.5300 or Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111.

Protesters to oppose DC Comics reboot at Comic-Con
Perhaps inspired by the spirit of Independence Day, a group of freedom fighters are planning to protest a controversial new measure -- DC Comics' recent announcement that the long-running comic book publisher will be rebooting its superhero universe, including characters like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
The company made the announcement recently that the entire DC Universe is starting over from scratch and every series title will revert back to issue #1 in September.
Upset over proposed costume changes (Superman with no shorts?!) and the erasure of decades worth of convoluted backstory, protesters will descend on the San Diego Comic-Con on July 23 for an hour-long march at the world's biggest geek gathering, hoping to draw the attention of the DC brass.
The plan is simple: RSVP on the event's Facebook page and then take an hour out of your busy Comic-Con schedule and parade through the Con, voicing your duress.
Says the Facebook page: "Are you utterly baffled, disappointed and just ANGRY to see how DC ruins your favorite character's design and wipes decades of comic history out of the mainstream universe? Well, you're not alone! And why not make some noise at the biggest pop-culture event this year, where creators, artists and writers appear in person - show them how fans - the fans of the classic characters, the (nevertheless slightly changing) designs, the character's history and personality - really feel about it!"
"My 'mission' is not to run straight to the DC booth and scream 'Give us back the old characters!' - for that would accomplish nothing," explained event organizer Laura Hornack to Comicbookmovie.com. "I just hope that the fans who love the 'old' (and old as in anything before September 2011) comics get a little attention, and that maybe some writers and artist think about the drastic changes."

energy prices too low?
Low oil prices seen stalling clean energy feb 24 2009
Former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore warned Monday against letting low oil prices lure consumers back into gas-guzzling cars, thereby stalling efforts to develop clean energy sources.
Mr. Gore warned that the country's "political will" to invest in renewable energy projects and break its dependence on oil has waxed and waned as the price of oil has fluctuated over the decades.
"We need to get the market to work for us by putting a price on carbon," Mr. Gore said.
Mr. Clinton said that his home state of Arkansas' attempts to cut back on using fossil fuels routinely have been stymied when the price of oil dropped.
"Every time oil dropped, people said give me my Hummer back," the former president said.
The price of oil peaked at around $147 a barrel last year, pushing the price of a gallon of gas to more than $4 across the nation, but fell sharply as the global economy tanked dropping to just more than $30 a barrel.
Lawmakers, environmentalists and energy experts have generally stated that the volatility of oil prices has made it hard to develop a national energy strategy which reduces carbon-dioxide emissions and fortifies national security.
Some energy analysts have proposed establishing a price floor for oil through a government tax, but the concept has been given little credence on Capitol Hill. President Obama's transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, floated the idea of changing how the gas tax was administered last week, but was quickly shot down by the White House.
Mr. Clinton and Mr. Gore talked during an expansive conference hosted by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and focused on how to reduce the nation's dependence on oil, invest in renewable energy sources and build out an expansive "smart" energy grid.
While there's broad support in Washington for cutting back the amount of oil the nation imports, lawmakers have split over whether to allow expanded drilling for oil at home.
The Obama administration put the brakes on a last-minute Bush administration policy which would have allowed for expansive drilling for oil and natural gas offshore, and canceled leases to allow for drilling in Utah. The administration has said that domestic oil production will be part of a broader energy plan to wean the nation off of foreign oil.
Environmentalists have asked Congress to reinstate a ban on offshore drilling that lawmakers allowed to lapse last year, but House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick J. Rahall II, West Virginia Democrat, has said that it is unlikely to happen.
The committee plans to examine offshore drilling this week.

To the Editor:
The Israeli government claims that it wants to establish a Palestinian state through direct negotiations. However, it is hard to take Israel at its word while it continues to allow settlements to expand in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Settlements have been allowed to grow for decades while negotiations have failed to settle key issues between the two parties. The Palestinian people can ill afford to continue on the current trajectory, which could in time leave them without a viable state.
If the Israeli government is unwilling or unable to stop settlement activity, then the American people should support the Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations. We need to ask ourselves if we want the United States to be the country that obstructs what has been entitled to the Palestinian people by the laws of nature and nature's God: self-determination.
Incidentally, our own congresswoman, Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, has been appointed as one of two congressional delegates to the United Nations. Those of us who are unhappy with U.S. policy toward Israel and Palestine should let her know.

Visits from the Tooth Fairy are, by their nature, a commercial transaction. Many families buy or make special under-pillow holders that make it easier for the overnight visitor to find the teeth she (or he) is after and leave behind some cash. What the Tooth Fairy lacked was a coordinated marketing campaign with an online game, books, costumes, toys and other merch. Until now. [More]
No One Has Marketed The Hell Out Of The Tooth Fairy, Until Now
JetBlue Gets Burned By Hot Weather Promotion
As the Mid-Atlantic settles in for what must be the 623rd straight day of searing-hot temperatures, the folks at JetBlue are learning that maybe they shouldn't rely on Mother Nature to cooperate when planning a promotional discount. The airline has had to pull the plug on an ill-conceived weather-related offering after too many people signed up. [More]
Why Do We Do The Whole Diamond Engagement Ring Thing, Anyway?
It's sparkly, it's clear or it's colored, it's cut in more ways than one person could dream up, it sits on your finger like a golf ball or a just-the-right-size bauble, it's a girl's best friend — twinkling alongside many a wedding proposal has been a diamond. And a lot of the time, these chunks of bling cost a pretty penny. So why do we do have this shiny ritual? (And someone please explain how a diamond can be a best friend? It can't even talk.)
Oxygen Products, Oxygen Products, Everywhere! But Can It Really Get Into Your Skin?
The thing about oxygen is, we all need it to survive and thus, we all agree it's a pretty good thing. No one's like, "Oh yeah, oxygen? I'll pass." As something that is essential to our existence, companies have caught on to its universal appeal and have increasingly been marketing products promising infusions/boosts/bursts/whathaveyou of oxygen that ostensibly are good for your skin, because oxygen is so awesome.

Comcast Launches Marketing Campaign To Get Across What The Heck Xfinity Is
Comcast is a cable company. But what is Xfinity? Initially, we thought it sounded like a great name for a porn company, but it's actually the brand name of the various products that Comcast offers. Of course, there's XFINITY Internet. (Yes, they use all caps.) Cable television is XFINITY TV. Home security systems are XFINITY HOME. Phone service is called XFINITY Voice. Despite Comcast spending $640 million in the last two years advertising the brand, experts say that most consumers still don't really understand what "Xfinity" represents. Their solution? More ads.
This HDMI Cable Represents The Edge Of Human Stupidity
We'd like to believe that the packaging for this HDMI cable is the victim of poor translation or some kind of misunderstanding. We sincerely hope that no one working in the consumer electronics industry believes that digital video is susceptible to viruses, those viruses cause noises, and that you can fend them off with a nice coating of Mylar. But we've had to deal with the public, and know better.
HD Contact Lenses Will Increase The Resolution Of Your Eyeballs
I just got back from a long-overdue visit to the local vision-correction emporium, where I learned that for all these years, I've been fumbling through life only able to see 480 lines of resolution through my contact lenses. But now there are HD contact lenses. Bausch & Lomb's PureVision2 HD lenses have been out for some time now, and I'm just learning about this upgrade to reality now.
Verizon: You Totally Need This Unnecessary FiOS Upgrade
Verizon really wants Sean to sign up for FiOS. Really, really wants him to sign up. He's happy kicking it old-school with a regular old copper landline, and dumping the barrage of FiOS ads in the trash. So it was interesting when he got a letter apologizing for nonexistent "service issues" in his area and urging him to upgrade to the newer, shinier fiber optic network. The letter assures him that he can totally keep his current phone plan at its current price – even though the equivalent plan under FiOS is cheaper.
How Giving To Charity Can Be Like Getting Your Name And Number Scrawled On A Bathroom Wall
Gifts to many charities can backfire, placing you on hit lists for other organizations that share information about their networks of benefactors. A donation can place you in the crosshairs of other companies in need of donations, bombarding you with cold calls and mailings and making you feel like the object of one of those "for a good time, call XXX" messages etched on bathroom stalls.
Stephen Colbert Mocks Marketingspeak By Cramming Face With 17 Wheat Thins
Have you ever wondered about the specific brand rules that regulate product placement and on-air sponsorships of products on TV? Yeah, us either. Until Stephen Colbert spent the entire second act of his show last night dissecting and mocking a memo from Nabisco spelling out precisely how Wheat Thins can be consumed and presented on the program.
Packaging Vs. Reality: Kraft Macaroni And Cheese Cups
Jay is smart, and knows that packaged food never quite turns out the way it looks on the box. It's not physically possible. But he was surprised, when cooking a pre-packaged cup of Kraft macaroni and cheese from Costco, that the quantity of food-like substance in the cup didn't really measure up to what was shown on the box. Is he overreacting, or is this really an unrealistic portrayal of the food product within?
How Deep Does A Discount Have To Be For Before You Call It A "Good Deal?"
A study of "Groupon addicts" asked them to specify how low a markdown had to be before they considered it a "good deal." These were some pretty tough customers. How do their standards match up to yours?
Proponent Of Costing Banks More Money By Mailing Back Weighted Business Reply Envelopes Defends His Cause
Earlier this week I wrote about a viral video that promised you could "Keep Wall Street Occupied" by sending back credit card business reply envelopes stuffed with anti-corporate messages and wooden shims. The video said this would increase mailing costs for the banks and force them to engage in a dialogue with their customers. Responding to my review where I called this idea "terrible," the video's maker sent me a note defending his campaign.
Credit Card Bumper Crop Boasts Low Teaser Rates, New Snags
After being such prudes for so long, credit card companies are raising their hemlines and lowering their standards. They're actively deluging customers with credit card offers and using low teaser rates as a crooked finger. However, they're also coming with new hidden baggage you need to watch out for, like cash back rewards that are high, but have to be opted in again every few months.
Here's An Idea: Credit Union Pays Members For Using Their Debit Cards
Instead of charging customers a $5 monthly fee for using their debit cards, one credit union is actually paying its members to use their debit cards. In a direct jab against the big banks, First Community Federal Credit Union is running a promotion that lets members earn up to $5 a month for swiping their debit card.
What's A McRib Made Of?
There's no rib in a McRib. There are about 70 other ingredients. The greatest amount of them come from ground-up low-value pork trimmings mixed together with salt and water to create "meat logs" that are then carved to size. So in what forest do you find a meat log?
Sending Back Protest Messages In Pre-Paid Credit Card Envelopes Isn't Going To Occupy Wall Street One Bit
A YouTube video has racked up over 300,000 hits promoting the idea that you can really mess with the banks by sending back activist messages in those pre-paid response envelopes that come with the credit card junk mail. The theory is that if enough people do it, it will force people in the bank mailrooms to have a meeting about all these Occupy Wall Street slogans showing up in their mail, and making banks engage in a dialogue with their customers, revolutionizing how they operate to a way that's more responsive to the common good. This is a terrible idea and a waste of time.

ROCKY RIVER, Ohio – A North Olmsted man was arrested for his 13th OVI this week.
Thomas Eder, 47, was pulled over when a police officer noticed his car driving left of center near the intersection of Wagar and Center Ridge Roads in Rocky River around 6 a.m. Monday, police said.
Eder and his girlfriend, who was a passenger in the car, lied to the officer about who they were, police said.
A breath alcohol test revealed he had a .177 blood alcohol level, police said.
Eder did not have a valid driver's license, police said, and he was also charged with driving under suspension.
His bond has been set at $100,000.
Eder was charged with a felony because he has so many past OVI convictions and the case has been bound over a Cuyahoga County grand jury.

Jackson set a standard for service
In describing the late Arnie Jackson, the first word that comes to Dave Hannons mind is gruff.
Hannon recalls a time years ago when Jackson led Arnies Army, a crop of young fire services recruits, through hard-nosed drills designed to toughen their skin.
Practice burns of decrepit buildings were the norm, and cub firefighters would be garbed up and assembled in a room that would then be set ablaze. Sometimes, the room was torched before the firefighters were even ready; Arnie Jackson was ready, and that meant it was time to start. The flames rose, smoke filled the room, but as Hannon tells it, the water didnt flow until Jackson decided it was time for that, too.
Firefighters: Can we extinguish it yet?
Jackson: No, not yet.
Firefighters: Its getting pretty hot in here...
Jackson: No, not yet.
Wed be kissing the ground and getting as low as we could, and hed be sitting up there with his helmet melting, Hannon recalls. Finally hed say, okay, go ahead.
Gruff. But at the end of the day, Arnie would put his army up against any other firefighters in the department. The island was the safer for it.
Arnie Jackson died Jan. 2 at age 72. Services will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Madison Avenue fire hall, and the family asks that memorial donations be made to the Bainbridge Island Firefighters Association, and the department with which he was affiliated for 48 years.
Pause for a moment to consider that legacy. In our lifetimes, how many of us will devote 48 years to anything? A few marriages will be so blessed as to survive that long; most careers wont come close, as we change professions midlife or hit retirement age long before. Tastes change, and avocations; most of us wont even spend 48 years in the same community, let alone in community service.
Jackson ran a repair shop at his home in Eagledale, and served as caretaker at the historic Port Blakely Cemetery up the road. He was also a longtime coordinator of the Grand Old Fourth parade in Winslow. But its his career as a fire volunteer for which he will be best remembered. After he was past the age to be hauling hoses up ladders or into blazing buildings, Jackson prided himself on his role as water boss, managing the flow from the trucks as others battled blazes on the front lines. He stopped responding to incidents seven or eight years ago, but was still involved with equipment purchases and facilities development. For years he championed purchase of an aerial ladder truck, anticipating the day when downtown Winslow would be growing more up than out. The aparatus went into service in 2002, with Arnie Jackson emblazoned on its doors.
And he was, colleagues say, more bark than bite.
It didnt matter what situation you were in, said Hannon, the Arnies Army veteran whose tenure with the fire department is a relatively modest 31 years. It could be a sit-down formal situation, but he was still Arnie Jackson, rough and gruff. But if somebody came for his help, hed drop a hat and hed help them.
We spent a lot of time in this community dwelling on change. Arnie Jacksons legacy reminds us of the constants, and the degree to which we can define them ourselves.

This home is ours
Monica Stallworth, 35, discovered many skills she didn't know she had while earning her sweat-equity hours with Hattiesburg Area Habitat for Humanity in Mississippi.
"I did not want to get up on the roof and lay shingles," she said, laughing. "But once I got up there, I didn't want to get down."
Stallworth's home is being built with funds and volunteer labor supplied by West Point Baptist Church, where she has been a member for years. Stallworth will share the home with her daughters Brittany, 13, and Laterrica, 14, and baby son Bryson, 1.
The economic downturn has made survival more challenging than ever. After working at an air-conditioner factory making parts for more than three years, Stallworth recently was laid off. She is babysitting for others and working part-time at the Hattiesburg Habitat office while looking for a new job.
"It will feel different to own a home," she said. "It's so exciting. I can pay my mortgage! And own my own home! I love paying my bills on time and keeping everything up to date.
"It's not scary," she added. "I'll find a good job. I know I will."
A native of Pascagoula, Stallworth has lived in Hattiesburg since 2000. The entire congregation of West Point Baptist Church, located just down the street, helped build the Stallworth family's home. At the dedication ceremony, a church choir member—who also serves on the board of Hattiesburg Habitat—brought the crowd to tears with a stirring rendition of "To God Be the Glory."
"It's very emotional to talk about this," Stallworth said. "It's such a blessing for a single mother. This home is ours, and that's very special."

Dude, all I know is it wouldnt surprise me. Madden 07 sucked so hard on the wii, I traded it in when Paper MArio came out. I am a big Madden fan.
Buy the game for PC!!!!! the graphics rock, the online play is great, its like $35 new, and honestly, I like using the keyboard (most people use a controller and think it blasphemy to even try with a keyboard)
You couldnt play the game on the wii in a true competitive fashion, because
1).....you cannot make adjustments to the line pre-snap on defense.....by the time the ball is hiked, you are caught on the wrong player whose play you were adjusting (say I want to spread D line out or pinch them in, then pick a safety to blitze, then pick the other safety to back up.....you will be totaly ****ed by the time the guy hikes the ball trying the wii controls. This is what happens before every play when I play on PC, XBOX, PSII, etc., and is an important part of the game).
2)....the controls for passing were bad....Id be screaming "look at this shit???" to my friends, as I waved the controller back and forth back and forth, showing everyone that the qb vision works when it wants to...."see guys, the vision cone is supposed to follow which way i point, so I can pick another receiver, but it isnt responding, wait, there it went....?????"

Capitalizing titles
Hi, could you please stop capitalizing all words in the article titles? For the titles, we only capitalize the first word. Thanks — ChaosVoid 10:03,4/24/2012
- Oh, another thing, you don't need to put spaces between the header equal signs and the text, it's fine as it is. — ChaosVoid 10:17,4/24/2012
- Again, you don't need to add the spaces between the == and the text. It's perfectly fine as it is. — ChaosVoid 11:14,4/24/2012
- Dude seriously, just stop adding the spaces between the headers. It's pointless, and it's fine as it is. — ChaosVoid 11:27,4/24/2012
