9. Merging — Von Debian und dem Upstream aktualisieren¶
Merging is one of the strengths of Bazaar, and something we do often in Ubuntu development. Updates can be merged from Debian, from a new upstream release, and from other Ubuntu developers. Doing it in Bazaar is pretty simple, and all based around the bzr merge command [1].
While you are in any branch's working directory, you can merge in a branch from a different location. First check that you have no uncommitted changes:
$ bzr status
Wenn ein Bericht auftritt, musst du entweder die Änderungen comitten, rückgängig machen oder zurückstellen um später darauf zurückzukommen.
9.1. Von Debian mergen¶
Next run bzr merge passing the URL of the branch to merge from. For example, to merge from the version of the package in Debian Unstable run [2]:
$ bzr merge lp:debian/tomboy
This will merge the changes since the last merge point and leave you with changes to review. This may cause some conflicts. You can see everything that the merge command did by running:
$ bzr status
$ bzr diff
If conflicts are reported then you need to edit those files to make them look how they should, removing the conflict markers. Once you have done this, run:
$ bzr resolve
$ bzr conflicts
This will resolve any conflicted files that you fixed, and then tell you what else you have to deal with.
Once any conflicts are resolved, and you have made any other changes that you need, you will add a new changelog entry, and commit:
$ dch -i
$ bzr commit
wie zuvor beschrieben.
However, before you commit, it is always a good thing to check all the Ubuntu changes by running:
$ bzr diff -r tag:0.6.10-5
which will show the differences between the Debian (0.6.10-5) and Ubuntu versions (0.6.10-5ubuntu1). In similar way you can compare to any other versions. To see all available versions run:
$ bzr tags
After testing and committing the merge, you will need to seek sponsorship or upload to the archive in the normal way.
If you are going to build the source package from this merged branch, you would use the -S option to the bd command. One other thing you'll want to consider is also using the --package-merge option. This will add the appropriate -v and -sa options to the source package so that all the changelog entries since the last Ubuntu change will be included in your _source.changes file. For example:
$ bzr builddeb -S --package-merge
9.2. Merging a new upstream version¶
When upstream releases a new version (or you want to package a snapshot), you have to merge a tarball into your branch.
This is done using the bzr merge-upstream command. If your package has a valid debian/watch file, from inside the branch that you want to merge to, just type this:
$ bzr merge-upstream
This will download the tarball and merge it into your branch, automatically adding a debian/changelog entry for you. bzr-builddeb looks at the debian/watch file for the upstream tarball location.
If you do not have a debian/watch file, you'll need to specify the location of the upstream tarball, and the version manually:
$ bzr merge-upstream --version 1.2 http://example.org/releases/foo-1.2.tar.gz
The --version option is used to specify the upstream version that is being merged in, as the command isn't able to infer that (yet).
The last parameter is the location of the tarball that you are upgrading to; this can either be a local filesystem path, or a http, ftp, sftp, etc. URI as shown. The command will automatically download the tarball for you. The tarball will be renamed appropriately and, if required, converted to .gz.
The merge-upstream command will either tell you that it completed successfully, or that there were conflicts. Either way you will be able to review the changes before committing as normal.
If you are merging an upstream release into an existing Bazaar branch that has not previously used the UDD layout, bzr merge-upstream will fail with an error that the tag for the previous upstream version is not available; the merge can't be completed without knowing what base version to merge against. To work around this, create a tag in your existing repository for the last upstream version present there; e.g., if the last Ubuntu release was 1.1-0ubuntu3, create the tag upstream-1.1 pointing to the bzr revision you want to use as the tip of the upstream branch.
|You will need newer versions of bzr and the bzr-builddeb for the merge command to work. Use the versions from Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) or the development versions from the bzr PPA. Specifically, you need bzr version 2.5 beta 5 or newer, and bzr-builddeb version 2.8.1 or newer. For older versions, use the bzr merge-package command instead.

Starveillance is an American/Canadian claymation television series created by Celebrity Deathmatch creator Eric Fogel that debuted on January 5, 2007 on E!. The show is produced by Toronto-based Cuppa Coffee Studios. Fogel chose not to work on his revived MTV hit Celebrity Deathmatch in order to spend more time working on this show.
The show parodies celebrity situations through stop-motion animation. The show is hosted by Glen and Corey, who hide video cameras all over the world to tape celebrities in their private moments.
The first episode, which aired on January 5, 2007, depicted The Olsen Twins and their real estate agent who appears ready to tear his hair out due to the outrageous demands and obnoxious nature of the twins. The next sketch showed a hyper-active Vince Vaughn asking Jennifer Aniston to go out with him. They then show Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's meeting with a wedding planner, where Kevin proceeds to film Britney's rear end and speaks in a tone synonymous with "gangstas". When asked about her gown, Britney says that she would prefer a sweatsuit, Kevin agreed, demanding that said sweatsuit must double as pajamas, "'cause his baby gots to be comfortable". The couple demanded corndogs at their reception. The next skit depicted the aftermath of the birth of Tom Cruise's baby. Tom was very loud and hyper, prancing around and making Katie Holmes miserable by suggesting they name their baby girl L. Ron. Surprisingly, Katie is not shown in a negative light, but simply as an overstressed woman trying to cope with her extremely annoying husband. Later in the skit, Brooke Shields makes an appearance. In the next skit, Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston are filming the reality show Being Bobby Brown where we see that in reality they are nothing like the people shown on their reality show. In the final skit, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are having a meeting with the leaders of two African nations in order to decide which of the countries will host the birth of their baby.

The show got a lot of publicity from E! and was promoted in such shows as The Soup and E! News.
Some skits from the show were shown around the internet months before the show premiered. The skits caused a mixed reaction from the fans of Eric's previous TV series Celebrity Deathmatch, which he left to work on this show.
The response from critics was mostly positive. For example, Variety said:
"Starveillance isn't the kind of concept likely to have significant staying power, but it feels like a logical step for E! as the channel seeks to branch out beyond its limited reality-TV profile into somewhat more ambitious fare -- the kind of show whose best moments are tailor-made to be sliced, diced and repurposed on YouTube." - Brian Lowry, Variety
Teen channel The N aired the episodes from April 11, 2009 to May 16, 2009.

|This is a discussion on Ways to play Early Position within the online poker forums, in the Tournament Poker section; Hi guys. I was just wondering what everyone's strategy to play early position effectively is? I see so many times I'm sat in early position with 10,10
Ways to play Early Position
Hi guys.
I was just wondering what everyone's strategy to play early position effectively is?
I see so many times I'm sat in early position with 10,10 or J,J, A,Q, A,J and do you just call the BB and see if anyone raises and call again or would you raise the BB x2 or x3 and then if someone 3 bets do you fold, call or 4 bet?
I play early position badly in my opinion because I usually always get called/raised and then then miss the flop. And then you lose a substantial amount of chips.
I have decided to play early position differently going forward as statistics I have read, prove that you will win the mojority of your chips in late position and have substantial losses in early position.
Is it feel, gut instinct, luck, or is it usually just easier to fold and fight another day.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Simply the worst position you can be in. Im guilty of over-playing those hands in position, nevermind out. Depending on how far in the tourney you are they're obviously worth a call at least but if I get isolated by a tight agg player I might be wanting to fold if I miss(I wish I could think this clearly in games).
You cant go wrong with the first part of ''Hold'em for advanced players'' by sklansky and malmuth. It has in-depth strategy addressing the hands you mentioned ie. group 2(if suited) and makes PF play crystal clear for beginner/intermediate.
Looking forward to seeing more experienced players opinion on this one, 'subscribed'
Like everything else in poker, it really is situational, dependent upon reads on opponents, your image at the table, your playing style, your ranges, their ranges, table texture, board texture, etc.
It's really difficult to give a specific response that would work for you to such a general question, but it sounds like would benefit by tightening up your range a bit in EP and letting go of hands that are easily dominated, such as KQ, KJ, etc.
The place for those kinds of hands, especially in an unopened pot, is in later position.
I do disagree that "you will lose most of your chips in early position". If that happens to be your case, then you are playing too many hands from there. Early position is a great opportunity, for example, to set mine, if the implied odds and other variables are present.
If you want to be more specific or even post some hands, then we could probably help you a bit more in this regard.
Thanks for your post
In the early stage of the tournaments with hands like JJ , TT , AJ,AQ I prefer raising x3 and than call 3bet with AQ or AJ (if the reraise is small) and folding to all-in. If you are playing against Tag it would be wise to fold to raraise with any of these cards except Jacks.
In late phase of the tournament I minraise with AJ and AQ and bet x3 with TT or JJ if I am big or midstack. When shortstack I shove with TT,JJ and call with AQ and if I am raised I go all in. If the tourney is 6max I shove with AJ also if I am shortstack.
re: Poker & Ways to play Early Position
im with bear here.. being out of position opens you up to alot of little mistakes that can cost you dearly. im ok with being alittle tight passive in EP with hands like AQ JJ down. i try to not build a pot out of position with marginal or even somewhat decent hands. this does allow me to nail some flops and set the trap to crack the guy who is trying to use his position to snag a few pots
i even limp some big hands if i have a real aggressive player or 2 at the table.
Of course it depends how your opponents are playing how you should play from early position. If they're giving your raises too much respect, go for raising larger amount but if there's good and agressive players in your left just raise with premium hands (around AQ+, TT+).
I guess always raise in early position with these hands. You can easily rep strong by raisin in early position making it hard for your opponent to 3 bet you unless they are strong as well. I would probably see a flop with a 3 bet after raising in early position.
You are more likely to have a monster in early position because it would just be foolish to raise in early without a real hand.
Keep the pot small and you'll do fine.
Against thinking players, raising in EP can be a strong move even as a bluff. Against players who only care about their own hand strength, you're just bleeding money from EP.
All situationally dependent, of course. In general, not open limping hardly ever though.
You have to be more selective in the choice of starting hands to draw, because you will have less information about the strength of the hands of your opponents, as you will make a decision in front of them. Thus, in early position you need a lot of attention to their starting cards.
I tend not to raise in early position unless I have qq kk aa. I dont limp with those hands. All other pairs I just call the BB and see were it goes. Its a safe bet to limp and see if someone raises and then if the raise is not to big then call it. I dont recommend limping with premium hands though. I have been burned to many times limping with AA.
With these mid to fairly good hands you should be playing at least some of them in early pos (I tend to fold the AJ but raise the AQ and mid pairs). I like raising more than limping. Yes you're going to get called a lot, but then you have the lead in the hand. If it's 4-bet, you throw it away but don't be afraid to call a reraise sometimes. If you flop a set, 2-pair, etc, you can win quite a few chips (I'm assuming deepstacked here. If stacks are shallow than you have to either reshove/call and shove the flop or throw it away). A limp is ok if you either have a table that will let you limp and set mine or if you plan to reraise. A limp call looks so weak and these hands are tricky enough to play if you don't smash the flop.
It gets tricky if it's early on and you don't know your table well, but after a few hours you should know what kind of players are calling/raising you and what their ranges are. Use that and play the best you can. It's not ideal, but I think it's far too nitty to always be throwing these hands away. That said, don't be afraid to chuck it in the muck if there's a lot of action after you (depending on which players the action comes from).
I noticed on 888 you have a strong adavtnage with these cards
re: early position
without stating knowledge of the other players and whether or not the table is aggressive or passive, I would proceed with caution and play your starting range tight like me. I play nothing in these situations but AA down to 99 AK un and AQ su. I raise about two and a half times to three times in early because it makes it erasier to get rid of hands when something seems off. most of the time depending on the player or players that I'm against I will raise and reraise with everything but AK unsuited AQ suited and pairs 99, 10 10 and JJ if I get a raise with AA down to QQ I three bet and if I have jacks then I reraise loose players that raise too much prefop. the good thing about betting two and a half times the pot is that you can play some hands that you normally wouldn't every once in a while if there isn't too much preflop raising! A5 suited is a strange hand because it has top wheel straight possibility, a nut flush possibility and top pair possibility and when you hit Aces and fives with it then it's hard for your opponents to tell what you have. A5 suited is in the top twenty percentile even though it looks like a rag hand. and in the blinds if there are less people to worry about then IO might consider limping with KQ suited AK, AQ suited AA and KK that way if you hit top pair or if you have an over pair you can bet to control the action and if you hit a big hand like trips or two pair then you always have the option of a trap depending on your opponent.
Rule number one: Never Limp UTG
How many players have limped HUGE hands UTG, never got a raise from those left to act (so they could re-raise/jam), and found themselves facing numerous players (3/4/5 way pot) with a coordinated board that some joker with 4-7off just hit the nuts with? Too many to count.
Rule number two: Always open for the same amount (2x - 2.5x)
If you vary your opening amounts, what are you basing it on? Hand strength, right? Maybe 2x for J-10/Q-J, then 3 or 4 x for big aces or kings. Well, guess what? You are telling everyone what your hand is by your bet size. Don't do that.
Rule number three: Occasionally open UTG with something other than the expected AA/KK/AKs.
This includes other strong aces, but small-medium suited connectors as well. Why? Any idiot who knows you only raise UTG with big cards will chew you up on boards with all middle cards. They know you do not always have a big pair, so they can bluff you off easily when you do not hit. They know your Cbetting with Ace high at best on boards with no paint. What is even worse, they could all just fold. How long can you survive occasionally picking up only the blinds and antes? Not long.
Rule number four: Learn how to properly Cbet.
You are OOP on the flop when UTG. So you are facing 5 callers. You don't hit. C-betting here is probable suicide as ANY board with 6 players in means someone most likely connected with something. This does not mean you fold, but you need to use pot control here. You may or may not want to call a bet. Checking seems weak, but it is prudent to see what others do, especially when you have NADA.
Rule number five: Never forget you are out of position the rest of the hand. Start asking what the others call with before you start betting with a weak hand OOP. You win more in position than out.
Rule number six: Remember that early in the game is THE place to find weaker players who call with almost any two.
Do not be surprised you come in for a raise UTG and get 5 callers. Do not bet down 5 others OOP with AK high early in a game. Later, when the fish are fried, and you can get heads up more often, do it, but proceed with caution.
Part of becoming a good player means learning how to play and win UTG. It's not impossible. Just gotta be careful.
I actually play a very tight range early in position and from the blinds in the early stages of a tournament. Raising is usually not an option I choose with AJ or AQ 10 10 9 9 even JJ i will limp 40 pct raise 60 pct of the time. I don't think it can be said enough, most of your profits in tourneys are made when you are in position and hit a nice flop....I honestly feel I can play 56 suited thru 10 J suited much more profitably in position than AJ or AQ from under the gun. Also, the tighter you play early stages the more your raises later on from early position may allow you to steal. When the blinds go up people are suspicious when you raise consistently from late position but one steal from early position per level helps you keep ahead of the curve.

Trying Something New with Iberica's New Spring Menu
Last week I was invited to try the new spring menu at Iberica in Manchester. The Spinningfield's restaurant is home to authentic Spanish food and dining, aswell as a buzzing, lively atmosphere. I have to admit, Spanish food isn't my first choice when it comes to eating out, perhaps because there isn't much choice out there, but I was excited to try something new and Iberica soon won me over.

Anne-Marie Idrac visited Governor Rick Perry in Austin, stopped by the French exhibits at the Offshore Technology Conference, met with Houston Mayor Annise Parker and spoke to Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy. She also spoke to the French-American Chamber of Commerce, where State Senator Rodney Ellis talked about the great relationship Texas has with France.
"France is a key partner for us, in terms of trade. In the last two years, Texas exports to France have exceeded $2 billion. France's direct foreign investment in Texas exceeds $11 billion."
Foreign Trade Minister Idrac told the French-American chamber one of her missions is to progressively shift French international trade from Europe to other countries.
"Why? Because we have so many links. Texas could be the best place in the world to be. I am ready to believe that maybe, maybe after Paris, if you don't mind, maybe after Nice, to which Houston is in sistership. Houston really seems to be a very, very vibrant place to be."
Ms. Idrac was appointed to her position two years ago by President Nicolas Sarkozy, when the world was entering tough economic times.
"Last year the trade of all developed countries decreased by a factor of, let's say, of minus 12 percent, something like that. We think that with the beginning of the recovery all over the world, it is more and more important to have a more and more competitive and innovative entrepreneurship in France, which is beginning to give good results."
France is interested in American investment, but also in paving the way for more French firms to do business in Texas.
"Two-hundred French companies are already centered here, especially in the field of oil and gas. I think that we could develop in the field of transportation, bio and all sorts of green technologies."
Ed: "You're in a competitive field here. There are other countries that want to invest here. There are other countries that want U.S. investment."
"The competition is for everybody. When you are talking about international business and international trade, which is my job, Nicolas Sarkozy's economic policy is totally focused on the idea to improve competitiveness."
Some economists see a pickup in global trade as a key to pulling out the the worldwide recession.

Crossing the Water: Eighteen Months on an Island Working with Troubled Boys-A Teacher's Memoir
€ 18,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juni 2002
BeschreibungOff the coast of Cape Cod lies a small windswept island called Penikese. Alone on the island is a school for juvenile delinquents, the Penikese Island School, where Daniel Robb lived and worked for three years as a teacher. By turns harsh, desolate, and starkly beautiful, the island offers its temporary residents respite from lives filled with abuse, violence, and chaos. But as Robb discovers, peace, solitude, and a structured lifestyle can go only so far toward healing the anger and hurt he finds not only in his students but within himself. Lyrical and heartfelt, "Crossing the Water" is the memoir of his first eighteen months on Penikese, and a poignant meditation on the many ways that young men can become lost.
PortraitDaniel Robb, a carpenter and writer, has been an editor of academic journals; a teacher in Mississippi, New York, and Massachusetts; a political consultant; and the proprietor of a literary services business. He holds degrees from Middlebury College and the Breadloaf School of English. He lives in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
PressestimmenRobert Coles, M.D. "Crossing the Water" is a wonderfully thoughtful and sensitive account of a healer's odyssey...a lyrically and candidly narrated effort that deserves a lot of respectful and grateful attention from all of us who work with children.

The museum is located on the Blackrock Reef shore, where people can feel the sea breeze blowing and listen to the song of the sea waves. There are total 12 exhibition halls in the museum, the animal specimens displayed inside are the most in China. When people are looking at the fossils or models of those rare animals, such as...
It was amazing place with large of sea activities dolphins shows aquarium and many many things cinema and 3d show and special things about sea and the history of sea also amazing shops and good foods
The have lots of life sized paper mache sculptures of animals. The information is both in English and Chinese. Nothing spectacular but it is free.
Worth the price!Liked the underwater tunnel.You can admire a wide array of sea creatures here.Well organised.
Free entrance and opened during Chinese festivals, the museum in not very big, a bit more than one hour can be enough. The place looks a bit dusty. Dinosaur and earth exhibition at the 1st floor, marines mammals and fish at the 2nd floor, wetland and forest at the 3rd floor, Africa's exhibition in the basement. Not much coherence with...
Very nice marine museum, especially the underwater tunnel. We bought the ticket that includes all the areas (polar museum, marine etc...), but this part was the best. Many species, dolphin show, the thing I didn't like is that some animals have no protection, so people obviously try to touch them even if it's forbidden...
Excellent!! Quite a place with exhibits of dinosaurs, African mammals, insects and marine life. Also has geological section with information about different types of rocks, good for tourists, students and children. P. S. Entry is free, but, please bring your ID card or passport, has free wifi!!!!!
Definitely worth a visit if you're a museum lover. The museum isn't huge but there is plenty to see. Most displays have the titles in English and Chinese, however the descriptions are in Chinese.
Entry was free and I didn't need to make a reservation. I found the museum well looked after and clean. There are a lot of interesting...
I went on during the busy National Day holiday to find this place closed. My Chinese isn't too great so I couldn't figure out why. Maybe it will reopen again soon?
Free and exceedingly well located, It is really fine although some of the atractions seem a bit dusty and unattended, and the lack of english info makes things a bit hard for non-chinese readers. Good choice for kids as well as adults. Choose a sunny day and enjoy Dalian beach view, and the fine houses around it.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Cooling Fan Assembly to repair your automobile. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Lincoln vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. Your Lincoln dealership isn't the only place to buy the best repair parts to fix your Zephyr.
Your Lincoln Zephyr engine won't remain cool while you are driving without many different parts working together, and when one stops working your engine is in trouble. A very important one is the cooling fan assembly, and it will kick on after a temperature sensor detects the coolant is getting too hot. You might notice your Lincoln Zephyr cooling fan assembly usually turns on when you are stopped or driving slowly; this is because the radiator is not able to scoop up enough air to function properly. As the cooling fan pulls air through the metal fins of your radiator, the temperature of the coolant inside the core lowers and it re-enters the engine.
Don't let a broken Cooling Fan Assembly spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Lincoln Zephyr part for your needs. Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Need 2006, 1942 Lincoln Zephyr Cooling Fan Assembly parts? We've got them right here.

Jack's Sliders and Sushi is a hidden gem. Please note that the photo above is not for this restaurant (they may have renovated at one point). The atmosphere is very cozy. Their sushi is fresh and delicious. I also shared the two slider option with a friend... one had salmon and avocado, which was great! It's a small space (perhaps 6-8 tables max) however when I went on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't too crowded. The best part... they serve Crabbie's ginger beer. Will definitely be going back.

For the love of god[ Edited ]
Stop with DLC and start fixing this game allready, over 3 months? and example Hades Life steal still does not give 2 uses. Chalice of Abrosia still does not give 50 mana and 12HP FOR 5 SEC are you there in SSM having trouble with math? you´r attempt to fix that relic was changeing description because you dont have clue how to fix it? OK remove that useless HP and give it full 50 mana and not useless number like 40! do you even realise how much mana goes in waste?? Do you? and why Poseidons give full 50 in a matter of seconds? it seems the Poseidons bubble works like the chalice of abrosia is supposed to.
And how about those weapons that does not work like in description,example Maul of hades,L+square should be chargeable like warhammer of Ares.
And how is this Ascending? when you lose all your magic class weapons,all goes to zero? what kinda demi-god is that when you lose all? and btw im supposed to be 200level allready and not 40.So where is my godly status,weapons,items,armors that makes me feel like a demi-god when im desending my char?
How about buffing Poseidon i see he´s lacking physical power so how about putting +15 at rank 1 to hes war armor so it would be more balanced,so add a fourth stat,i think its kinda undepowered right now....and how about increasing relic of resilients hp and resistance i find it very underpowered right now,hahaha
AND THANKS for those no lifers who suggeted prestige mode,some of has JOB and we dont have time to grind!! what is this? World of Warcraft? **bleep** and then demands more levels,hahaha
Bog of the Bug,you really **bleep** this map,ahaha i have never seen so bugged map like this, "im one with the floor" " i fell trough map" " im invisible but im not"
Who the hell do you listen SSM? those no lifers who demands more content? because i havent seen a single fix that actually works,how many times you have failed to fix god glitch? 3...5? times?
All i want is FIXES to this game!!you´r DLC corrupt the data more than it actually fixes! PARRY anyone? or how about i dodge inside to magic and i dont take damage! how about i do brutal kill and opponent stands up and continues fighting! or my weapon goes clean trough opponent and he just doesent take damage because of the DODGE i-frame! how the hell came up the idea putting i-frames to hack´n slash game? or does all you´r good ideas came up when smoking pot? how about putting i-frame when i walk too? so i can safely walk around or i-frame when im standing still,because those are propably the only few that doesn´t cause i-frame...yet,perhaps in a next patch!.haha
Edit: removed profanity and inflammatory statements
Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: For the love of god
SSM are working as hard as they can so they make this game good, they release DLC's so the people don't get bored of the game and have something new to play with, they listened to the community and made a 1vs1 game mode they keep releasing patches so they can fix the problems but some people keep finding exploits and bugs that they have to patch and fix as soon as they can, so PLEASE people stop hating on them and appreciate their work on this game.

By FRANCO PANIZO
There was an abundance of goals scored by the U.S. Men's National Team in 2013, and many of them came from the 'Wow' department.
A busy year for the U.S. saw it find the back of the net 51 times and the wide arrange of weapons in the Americans' arsenal was on full display throughout those finishes. There were one-timed strikes, well-taken headers, lightning-fast counterattacks, and even a stunning free kick.
SBI re-watched all of those goals and came up with its annual top five list that is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the quality of the finish and its importance. Some tough cuts were made, including Joe Corona's curling game-winner vs. Cuba in the Gold Cup and Aron Johannsson's well-placed winner vs. Panama in World Cup qualifying, but each of the goals that made it onto the list did so with plenty of good reason.
Before we all usher in a World Cup year, here are SBI's Top Five USMNT Goals of 2013:
5. Eddie Johnson vs. Panama, June 11
The pass and first-touch were sublime. The finish was clinical. Eddie Johnson's strike at CenturyLink Field vs. Panama in a summer World Cup qualifier was not only a beautiful play back in a time when things were still rosy for the veteran striker in Seattle, but it also gave the Americans a needed insurance goal that allowed them to breathe a little easier. Geoff Cameron picked out Johnson's marauding run on the right flank with an inch-perfect pass, and Johnson proceeded to bringing down the ball with a classy first touch before hitting a left-footed curler into the corner of the net to give the U.S. a 2-0 victory.
4. Brek Shea vs. Costa Rica, July 16
The finish was not the prettiest, some might even say lucky, but the sequence leading up to it was. Brek Shea's late winner in a 1-0 win over Costa Rica in their Gold Cup group stage finale at Rentschler Field came courtesy of a quick counterattack that reminded U.S. fans that Jurgen Klinsmann's side still has that available in its repertoire. After Costa Rica came close to finding the back of the net on a corner kick, the U.S. pushed forward aggressively to exploit space and Joe Corona hit Landon Donovan with a good ball on the right flank before Donovan one-timed a quality ball into the path of a streaking Shea.
3. Clint Dempsey vs. Germany, June 2
Clint Dempsey is known for being able to create something out of nothing, and that is exactly what he did against Germany in the U.S.'s Centennial Celebration match at RFK Stadium. Dempsey netted his second of the day in that friendly on an individual effort, capitalizing on lax defending by hitting a left-footed curler into the top left corner from distance. The U.S. captain's goal gave Klinsmann's team a commanding 4-1 lead, but it wound up serving as the game-winner after Germany scored twice more to make things interesting in the waning moments of the entertaining bout.
2. Jozy Altidore vs. Germany, June 2
Earlier in that game against the Germans, Jozy Altidore scored on a gorgeous strike of his own. Altidore was in the midst of a scoring drought that had plenty of critics questioning his place in the U.S. lineup, but you would not have been able to tell by the way he took his chance in the first half. The goal came when Graham Zusi collected a Clint Dempsey pass and unleashed a cross from the right flank that Altidore finished with a powerful one-timed volley, stunning Germany and bringing the American fans in attendance to their feet.
1. Jozy Altidore vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina, Aug. 14
If you thought Altidore's last strike was nice, you might be in for a real treat. In one of the more dominant performances in U.S. Soccer history, Altidore helped inspire an impressive U.S. comeback in a road friendly vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina with a hat-trick performance that included a late bending free kick. Altidore masterfully curled his attempt from about 24 yards over the wall and into the back of the net to give his team a 3-2 lead in Sarajevo and the game eventually ended 4-3 in the Americans' favor, marking the first time the U.S. had rallied for a victory on European soil.
What do you think of SBI's Top 5 USMNT Goals of 2013? Agree with the order? Should another strike have made it onto the list?
Share your thoughts below.
how about the Dempsey goal at Honduras? — the game was rough but his first goal of the year was a beautiful over the shoulder finish.
or Brad Evan's winner in Jamaica!!!! — again rough game but defiantly one of the year's best goals if not one of the USMNT best ever!
EJ's goal to clinch us was pretty huge and Landon's one eye put in for the Dos A Cero wasn't bad either.
Shea's goal shouldn't be on here above these…
Jesse D
I was a fan of EJ's flying header 10 seconds after entering as a sub. He jumped out of the roof and hit a powerful header with his first touch of the game.
Oh ya missed that one! That was a great goal!
Shea's goal was a great team goal. There were some great individual efforts but this was the best Team goal of the year.
Evan's goal vs. Jamaica should be on this list. Dempsey's goal vs. Germany shouldn't. You can clearly see the German defender trying to make reservations instead of closing Dempsey down.
On Shea's goal, if Gomez doesn't bump the CR player trying to keep possession in the scrum (:22 sec), Corona doesn't come away with the ball to trigger the counter. That's "playing nasty."
how about Dempsey's PK miss vs Mexico? best non-goal of the year!
World class pass by Donovan on Shea's goal.
Jozy's other goal in Bosnia, the back to the goal, drag move, quick far post finish deserved to be here too. All class.
Justin El Matador
Either one of MB90's wonder strikes should be on here as well… 1 vs. Scotland (was that this year?), and the other vs. Russia (that was definitely this year!)
Justin El Matador
Thanks Franco… time is flying… feels like just yesterday i was watching both of those goals. I could also be going senile at 32 ;-/
So many other quality goals that deserve to be mentioned, but the Wondo redirection goal tipped over the 'keeper in the GC off of a Kyle Beckerman cross was pure class.

I am now begging, borrowing, and even stealing time on other people's computers in hopes to getting everything up to date… bear with me and as always…
~adamlambert~Congrats on ur VMA noms @keshasuxx! Rockstar! Miss u!
article via: voices.washingtonpost.com
Was Adam Lambert snubbed by the MTV Video Music Award nominations?
The nominees for this year's MTV Video Music Awards were announced earlier today and featured a record-setting number of nominations for Lady Gaga (13), as well as nods for Eminem (eight), Florence + The Machine (five) and Justin Bieber (one … wait, one? That kid's getting his own 3D biopic and he gets just one measly nomination?).
Here's who didn't get nominated: Adam Lambert. Members of the former "American Idol" contender's Glam Nation are ticked off that he didn't get recognized in at least one category for videos like "If I Had You," in which he sports a mullet ponytail while rocking out on what appears to be the set for the "Twilight" movies, accompanied by cast members from "Moulin Rouge" and "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome." (I mean that as a compliment, by the way).
Of course, Lambert fans aren't the only ones irked by the VMA nominations. Lovers of Rihanna (who received just one nomination), the Black Eyed Peas and Britney Spears are all voicing their objections in blog comments and on Twitter, where the hash tag #MTVFAIL is becoming more popular by the second.
Did MTV really mess up with this year's nominations? Does it even matter? And most importantly, when will Kanye West Tweet about this pressing issue? (Could be a while. Dude's on his way to Asia.)
Honestly, the VMAs are so ridiculous that it seems like a waste of energy to even bother getting upset by them. That being said, I have just one question: How on God's green Earth did "My First Kiss" get nominated for anything? It looks like it was made in 1983. And no, I don't mean that as a compliment.

New Release: Isaac & Sarah Martin-"Amish Paradise-Volume 1-The Epiphany"
I have decided to dedicate this story to my younger brother. I have fictionalized his name and the path he has chosen to arrive at his understanding of his faith, his ability to embrace what his true values are and to display those values on a daily basis for all to witness, experience, and if they choose to, embrace.
Jacob is his name and living life simply while walking in the shadow of our Creator has been his choice. It wasn't always like that, but thanks to the love and understanding of a beautiful woman, his wife Hannah, he came to see the Light and the Way.
When I was able to take my turn outside of the family, trying to find out if I wanted to be baptized into the Faith, I made a different choice; one that I felt at the time better suited my needs and those of the woman that was nice enough to choose to marry me, thank God. We still embrace many of the values of our previous lifestyle and upbringing, but have chosen to live outside of it. As you may have already guessed, my wife also came from an Amish family.
Jacob was going to follow a similar path like mine, in fact he was going a bit further on "the wild side" during his opportunity at Rumspringa, when his now wife stood in his path and forced him to make a decision, one that would not just change their lives forever, but at the time we didn't know it, it would also change ours.
That is what "Amish Paradise-Volume 1-The Epiphany" is about. Standing on the precipice and looking down into the dark void: What do you see in front of you? What would you do? This is the beginning of the voyage of life that a young couple is about to take. One that allows them to witness, embrace and live the perfection of God's grace and the world He has given us and all its beauty.

Looking for some good authentic food and found it! Great price and some awesome food! We will be back!
Outstanding service, food always excellent, after meal pick up some things from store, meat always good
We had been recommended to go here for really authentic Mexican. Well it might be authentic to some but it had no flavor in the fajitas or the burrito. I added lots of hot sauce but otherwise had no spices
Great food and great service every time we visit! Love it! My burrito was a little cold (the lettuce and sour cream are in the center) but I asked for extra red sauce to poor over it and it was fine! We took some friends there a couple days later and they were very impressed. Don't miss it! You won't...
Found this little restaurant from a friend. You walk through the grocery store and into the back which has about a dozen tables and booths. The place is clean and the staff is so friendly. The food is like home cooked. It's delicious, and authentic. I loved it, and will be back. I got enchilada suizas and they were so...
Had to go to Ocala on business, so took the long way, so we could go to Pepe's for lunch. I had Posole...hadn't had any since we lived in Albequerque 16 years ago. It was a little different..but good. It was the day's special. I ate half a bowl..the bowl must have what seemed like a quart of posole.. Well...
Ran in one day very quickly to Pick up some pastries, but ended up.spending about an hr. I bought meat, rice, tortillas,candles and my lists goes on. The ppl are super friendly and helpful, as I only speak English. Now I visit all the time.
First off before we ordered they serviced us chips which were so hard you could all most bust your teeth on. I asked if that was normal and the server said yes. The place should have a warning EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. For a first timer that was a bad start. I had shrimp tacos which had a OK...
My husband dearly loves really spice Mexican dishes..and he decided to try this new dish..He damn near licked the plate..and he would NOT let me taste it because it matches the name Diablo..IT WAS HOT! BUT, the seasoning was such that you could taste everything without the heat destroying it. The waitress told him it was very spicy, and it...
Finally got around to taking the wife with me to taste some of the very best Mexican fare around. No frills, authentic "south-of-the-border," Mexican food. I had the Enchiladas, while the wife tried the tacos. Spicy food upsets her, so I was holding my breath - the waitress got it RIGHT, and we enjoyed some very tasty food.

The Houston Dynamo entered Major League Soccer in 2005, when the San Jose Earthquakes franchise was put to pasture. The club was created as an expansion franchise with the Earthquake players and staff relocating from the Bay Area to Houston.
The Dynamo went on to win back to back MLS Cup championships in its first two seasons in 2006 and 2007, but lost to David Beckam and the LA Galaxy in the finals last month. Now, the club waits anxiously for its new home acoss from the Astros' Minute Maid Park. Dynamo president Chris Canetti told Harris County Commissioners that they're about 8 months into construction.
"We're about 5 months away from our first-ever Dynamo game, and thanks to our success on the field this year, making it to the championship game, and the rise of the stadium, the excitement around soccer and the Dynamo is just tremendous. It's not only a stadium for the Dynamo and soccer; it's a stadium for Texas Southern University, as well as multiple concerts and other great events that we'll be bringing to the city."
The state-of-the-art, open-air stadium will also be the first soccer specific venue in Major League Soccer located in a city's downtown district with:
"22,000 seats, all the great amenities that we have in the other fantastic sports entertainment venues here in town, the suites and clubs and things of that nature. It's also gonna be a great boost to the economy as well, with over $30 million dollars of annual impact to the economy. And with construction ongoing right now, we have about 450 to 500 workers on-site, creating hundreds and hundreds of jobs."
The Dynamo will pay upwards of $70 million in construction costs, while the city and county will share $15 million in land costs, plus $20 million in infrastructure improvements. The city and county will jointly own the stadium, and charge the team $65,000 a year in rent. County Judge Ed Emmett called the update on construction good news.
"You know, the Dynamo stadium, and that's why I said it the way I did in court, the team is putting $65 million dollars in, they're building their own stadium. The county and the city are chipping in for the infrastructure around it. And so, it's a win-win for everybody. I'm pleased by it."
The Dynamo's first game is scheduled to be played next April.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity & Laura Ingraham: Talk Radio Fails Conservatives
Feb 6, 2008
Our book, The Death of Talk Radio?, warned about the threat posed by liberals trying to pass into law the so-called Fairness Doctrine. Little did we know that its viability would be in jeopardy from conservatives upset over major figures in talk radio playing favorites in the Republican presidential race. The conservative talk-radio assault on John McCain and Mike Huckabee has backfired in a big way.
Supporters of Huckabee are so angry that they have launched a �Send it Back� campaign, asking people who have copies of books by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to send them back to their authors. They�re angry that Limbaugh and Hannity were trashing Huckabee on the air. Limbaugh and Hannity were joined by Laura Ingraham in trying to rally their listeners around Mitt Romney. The ploy failed. Romney won in seven contests on Super Tuesday but failed to win either California, where he expected to win, or any Southern state.
The �Send it Back� campaign also applies to Ann Coulter, who attacked Huckabee as the �Republican Jimmy Carter.� Coulter, who has achieved notoriety for making personal attacks and writing books blasting Democrats, also said that McCain was so unacceptable that she would vote and campaign for Hillary Clinton if the Arizona senator was the Republican presidential nominee.
The phenomenon known as �Huck�s Army� has emerged as a major force in the campaign and helps account for his success. On Super Tuesday, he made a surprisingly strong showing by winning the Southern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
�A vote for Huck is a vote for McCain,� said Limbaugh, trying to warn conservatives to stay away from the former Arkansas governor. But that�s not how Huckabee�s supporters saw it. They voted for Huckabee because they saw him as the superior conservative candidate.
Tim Jones of the Chicago Tribune accurately observed that Super Tuesday was a test of whether the �thunder on the political right,� especially from talk radio, would carry the day. Jones noted that Limbaugh�s campaign against McCain had been having �little apparent effect.� Now the same can be said of his campaign against Huckabee.
In a February 2 dispatch, the Boston Globe reported that Mitt Romney was �pushing hard against John McCain on conservative talk radio.� The story added, �The Romney campaign is clearly hoping to feed the fires of anti-McCain sentiment that seems to be growing hotter by the day on right-wing talk-radio stations across the country.�
But one has to conclude that the campaign largely failed. This suggests that talk radio is not as influential as some people seem to think.
Michael Medved, himself a conservative talk-radio host, said that he had resisted the �relentless war� being waged by the �reigning Titans of Talk� against McCain and Huckabee. �The grand pooh-bahs of the conservative elite have harmed their own credibility more than they have damaged the candidates,� he asserted. That appears to be the case.
A self-described conservative supporter of John McCain responded to this Medved column by saying, �You nailed it, Michael. The days of pundits and politicians picking presidential nominees are over. The people are actually thinking for themselves for a change...�
Could it be that the liberal media are losing their influence and that the conservative media are losing theirs? That�s the question we posed back in a January 4 column. That was at a time when Limbaugh was already on the defensive for attacking Huckabee, the big winner in the Republican Iowa Caucuses, and Fox News was under fire for excluding Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter from a presidential debate.
Conservative talk radio may have just waited too long to rally around Romney as the conservative alternative to McCain and Huckabee. They may have run out of time to influence the contest. But they only have themselves to blame.
Hannity, one of the most popular conservative radio hosts, had been an early and major booster of Rudy Giuliani, who is even more liberal than McCain, and actually spoke at one of Giuliani�s fundraisers. This kind of �conservative talk� may have confused conservatives, at least in his listening audience.
It is highly ironic that Hannity now attacks McCain as too liberal when McCain has gotten the endorsement of Giuliani, who had been given so much favorable attention on Hannity�s radio program and Fox News TV show. If McCain is too liberal to be considered as a Republican presidential candidate, why wasn�t Giuliani rejected out of hand? He is far more liberal than McCain, especially on social issues. Could it have had something to do with Fox News chief Roger Ailes� personal and political ties to Giuliani? One analysis found that Giuliani was getting a disproportionate amount of air time on the Fox News Channel. He was getting more air time, for example, than Romney.
Needless to say, Giuliani�s collapse as a Republican candidate also demonstrates our thesis―that conservative media do not have the influence they think they have. In the end, conservatives will make their own decisions based on information from a variety of different sources.
This is one of the realities of the Ron Paul-for-president movement. He continues to get a significant percentage of the vote, especially among young people. He is not a favorite of the liberal or conservative media but doesn�t seek their approval in any case.
Paul�s network of supporters, assembled through new and alternative media, has resulted in millions of dollars of contributions, far surpassing the other Republican presidential candidates in the last quarter of 2007, which will keep him going into the Republican convention. That is another lesson of the Super Tuesday results. The people count. The media do not.

At first glance, small talk is sort of unquestionably terrible. Even if you can't wait to meet new people, who wants to talk about the weather?
But linguists and social scientists say small talk is no small thing: It's not what you're saying that matters, but the social function it serves.
And it doesn't just make parties way less awkward — it could actually make you happier. Dr. Gillian Sandstrom, a psychologist at the University of Essex, noticed that "just saying hi to the lady at the hot dog stand" gave her a bounce in her step. She asked people to count their social interactions for six days and found that those who had more daily interaction with acquaintances were happier.
She followed up with a study at Starbucks, asking people to either talk to their baristas or get their coffee with maximum efficiency. Those who engaged in chit-chat were again happier. And people who broke the silence at the Tate Modern were in a better mood afterward and enjoyed the exhibit more. Even college students who talked to more classmates than usual felt happier at the end of the day.
"What I'm finding over and over is that talking to people makes us feel connected to others. This matters, because we are social creatures — psychologists think we have a need to belong, and suffer physically and mentally when we don't feel as connected as we want," Sandstrom says.
In another experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago asked commuters to either engage in small talk, "enjoy their solitude" or commute as usual. Those who talked to strangers were happiest, even if they had been dreading the task.
Small talk could even give you a cognitive boost. Researchers at the University Of Michigan found that friendly social interaction can boost our ability to solve problems. And doctors who spend more time talking to their patients are less likely to be sued.
The Small Talk Strategy
Of course, knowing it's good for you doesn't help you actually do it. With all those benefits, why do so many of us dread small talk?
Dr. Carol Fleming, a communication coach with a background in speech pathology, finds an almost universal loathing for small talk among her clients — particularly the go-go executives she works with who don't want to "waste time." The problem, she thinks, is they don't understand the purpose.
"The whole purpose of small talk as we know it is to send out the signal, 'Will you be a friend to me?' But we do it in disguise. We do it in code. We do it in a secret language, where we say 'Lovely day today, isn't it?'" Fleming explains. "They're not really talking about the weather. They're making friendly noises at each other to see if they can find something to talk about."
RELATED: Think You're a Great Multitasker? Your Brain May Disagree
Sandstrom felt so strongly about the need for small talk that she leads How to Talk to Strangers workshops and works with a nonprofit called Talk to Me, which organized a "Talk to Me Day" last July. In her workshops, people are most afraid of awkwardness or embarrassment. And her research indicates a deeper fear: that other people don't find them interesting.
The true secret to small talk, Fleming says, is empathy: Just be more interested in the other person than you are in yourself. Fleming is working on a book on the subject, "The Curious Business of Small Talk."
For the "absolutely paralyzed person," she developed a three-point "ARE" — Anchor, Reveal, Encourage —plan, with two bonus points once you've mastered the technique.
1. Anchor.
Say something about your "shared reality," which yes, could be the weather. "It might be 'That's a beautiful carpet that we are standing on," Fleming says.
2. Reveal.
Say something about yourself, or in Fleming's parlance, "open your kimono first." For the rug example, it could be as simple as "That looks like it might be Moroccan."
3. Encourage.
Ask a question and throw the ball over to the other person. "Do you know anything about this carpet design?" Don't worry about being clever or witty. This is about being friendly, not entertaining the person.
4. Give Free Information.
Don't stop a conversation with one-word answers. If someone says it's a beautiful day, say something like "It sure is. I wish my dog were here. He's still in New York, but I'd love for him to run down the beach on a day like this."
5. Be Specific
Generalities can kill a conversation. In the example above, your conversation partner now has options: Should we talk about New York, your dog, the beach? Fleming calls one-word answers "orphans." Give more information instead, and you can keep the conversation rolling as long as you like.
"These people have no idea that they are the ones killing the conversation with these monosyllabic answers," she says. "Once they know what to do, they're liberated. I've given them the key to open the door."

It seems to be sort of a marketing technique for some attorneys. I agree wholeheartedly.
Actually, it isn't a marketing technique. It's a bona fide method for reducing court time while maintaining privacy. I personally believe both can be accomplished while still keeping the lawyers in control of the case. We all have different approaches. I like being involved in the settlement process through discussions directly with my opponent or with the other pro se party and not being handed settlement terms from one or more other professionals and then my client being being bound by those agreements and my roe reduced to little more than scrivener instead of acting as counselor at law. The method works well for some. I prefer not to handle those sort of case so I turn away those clients and refer them to attorneys who like the collaborative approach.
I have worked with it also and I agree. I meant some issues concept to market their practice. I too do not care for it and believe it actually adds time and cost to the process

Beat her to death, probably; that's what he would do. Punch her and kick her, probably rape her a few times, one way or another, because a man has to have his fun, wouldn't you say? And in Quebec, the law has its priorities right. Publish your web-site in English and you'll never see daylight again; but a woman? You want to flog, pummel, torture and sodomise a woman at will? Oui, d'accord, comme vous voulez, m'sieur.
Benny was a big man. She described him as a saturnine god with dark impenetrable eyes, and when they first met he gave her a look which just melted her, made her little and helpless ... which was fine with Marie-Claire because she kind of liked the notion of a dominant, masterful man; love, protection and desire taken to their logical extreme.
Benny didn't see it like that. Benny saw her as someone to objectify, to use, to blame. He was clever enough to play into her desires. Then it started. The broken bottles, the hands at the throat, the hunting knives, the violations, face down in the snow, screaming. People like Marie-Claire don't scream blue murder. They don't scream, "Stop! Stop it!" People like Marie-Claire scream, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I love you, I'm sorry. " And Benny thrives on those screams.
By the time she started to realise that Benny was ... damaged, frozen, splintered, fucked, it was too late to walk away. It wasn't just her three kids to think of. It was that he'd follow her and kill her, or maybe kill himself. And in any case she was addicted. Benny was subtler than heroin. When he beat her it must be because she was bad; when he wasn't beating her, the relief was so great that she felt warm, safe, loved. In a cold place the temporary absence of violence could make her feel warm.
I know a lot about Marie-Claire but I don't know where she lives. Rural Quebec, somewhere. Endless roads, following the riverbank then veering off into nothingness past little townships strung along the roadside, tar-paper rest-stops with flat-eyed men eating chowder and silent women slowly losing their looks in the desolation of rural gritstone asensuality. Twenty miles from town, and no neighbours to hear her screams. "Sorry, I'm sorry, I love you, I'm sorry."
If the ice storm had broken a day or two sooner, Marie-Claire would probably now be dead, because the telephone lines went down and it was the telephone lines that saved her. In desperation she had begun to trawl the Internet for people who might help, advise, understand, tell her what to do. Her initial approaches were hesitant and disguised, and she was pounced upon by a pack of masturbators who (up in their bedrooms, with purse-lipped wives or beetle-browed mothers prowling outside) attempted to incorporate her, by e-mail, into their lonely sadomasochistic fantasies. Then, by sheer luck, she stumbled upon Karen, a woman I know in America. Karen has had her troubles; but strong and good- hearted people, under prolonged unhappiness, become more, not less, compassionate. Karen set out to help, and for several days corresponded with Marie-Claire almost non-stop.
Then the ice storm broke and so did Marie-Claire. She couldn't take it any more. Called the police, made her children call the police, screamed, did what it took to be taken seriously.
And then she found what manner of place Quebec is, and how its public servants attend to their task of promoting the security of the people they serve. Because Marie-Claire had made two mistakes. She was a woman, and she was distressed. She was taken to a psychiatric hospital, forcibly injected with powerful anti-psychotics, stripped and locked in a padded cell with a reinforced glass wall, so that her humiliation was visible not just to passers-by but to her children. She wasn't even allowed to relieve her bladder in privacy; instead these "doctors", led by God knows what twisted impulse into a trade whose overmastering motive should be compassion, allowed her to befoul herself and lie exposed in her own ordure. This was in Quebec, a few weeks ago.
Then she was taken before another doctor. "Shut up!" she remembers him shouting. "If you don't shut up I have the power to keep you here for life." This was in Quebec, a few weeks ago.
Finally, after 11 days, one doctor, a man who knew what his profession was for, listened to her, cancelled the inappropriate drugs, released her.
Benny was waiting for her. "Call the police and you're dead," he said. Marie-Claire called the police anyway. "Oh yeah," they said, "You just got out the psych ward, right? Quit wasting our time. Hope your kids ain't with you ... we could have them removed." She asked for a restraining order against Benny, a man with assault-and-battery convictions, in breach of parole, a man who, made to attend a men's viol- ence group, so frightened his therapist that he came to visit Marie-Claire to warn her. The request was turned down. The man who turned it down said he had given his reasons in writing to the officer concerned, Monsieur Crottin. She rang Officer Crottin. He said he had had no such letter and if he had he wouldn't tell her what it said and if she didn't stop annoying him he'd assume her psychological condition was deteriorating and have her kids taken into care ...
Everything's documented. All her phone calls recorded. All the names have been changed. Except Quebec. This is in Quebec, now.
The most perilous time for people like Marie-Claire is after they've pulled the plug, but before action against the abuser has been taken. Benny is still there, biding his time. Nothing has happened except the contemptuous belittlement of the victim. So we know where we stand. All you abusers, all you rapists and sociopaths and woman-haters and inadequates, just pack up, head on out to Quebec, and have yourselves a ball. It's a hell of a nice place, if you don't mind the stink. !
