Latest update August 24th, 2017 12:59 AM

By Michael Jordan
I really thought I had heard the last about Yvette Lall; and if you have to ask who Yvette Lall was, then you probably weren't around 15 years ago. She was a pretty, 29-year-old seamstress who lived in Unity Street, La Grange, on the West Bank of Demerara.
Back in October1993, someone strangled Yvette, gutted her with a knife like she was some huge fish, stuffed and tied a crankshaft and a slab of concrete in her empty stomach, then dumped her in the Demerara River.
They caught a fisherman who they said was the killer. He's on death row now. Case closed…or so I thought.
But a couple of months ago, I spoke to Ganga Deolall at the Georgetown Hospital, where he was undergoing surgery.
Ganga Deolall is the guy whom the police identified as the 'crankshaft murderer', as we called him back then.
But Deolall told me that he hadn't killed Yvette Lall. He said that the real killers were still out there.
You know what they say about every man on death row being 'innocent'. But something about Deolall's story intrigued me. But let's go back to what happened in 1993.
Yvette Lall was a 29-year-old woman with a six-year-old son. She worked at Wilsun's Garment Factory in Industrial Site, Ruimveldt, and lived with a sister at Unity Street, La Grange. Lall's husband lived in Venezuela, and she had hoped to join him there.
On Saturday, October 16, 1993, Yvette left for her Industrial Site, Ruimveldt workplace. According to her employer, Roger Philips, she left the worksite at around 5:00 pm. According to a friend, she joined a bus and headed for home.
A mini-bus driver and a friend later stated that Yvette disembarked from the bus, at around 6:30 pm, at the head of Unity Street, La Grange. But Yvette Lall never reached home.
Three days later, a group of fishermen got the shock of their lives when they spotted the body of a woman on the La Grange foreshore.
It is not that the fishermen had never seen a body before, but they had never seen one in such terrible condition.
The victim's head was in a plastic bag, and her hands were bound; and that was not the worst of it.
Someone had slashed the woman's stomach open and removed her intestines and other organs. That person had then placed a crankshaft and a huge concrete slab in her stomach, tied them in place with bits of rope, and then submerged the victim into the Demerara River.
Somehow, the corpse had washed up on the mudflats, revealing to everyone the river's grisly secret.
An autopsy would later reveal that the victim was strangled.
From all appearances, she was in her twenties and was of Amerindian ancestry. Eventually, the victim was buried without being identified.
No one thought that the victim might be Yvette Lall, although she had not come home for three days, and had not attended work.
Yvette's sister assumed that she was at relatives in Albouystown, while her boss assumed that she was merely absent.
All that changed when the sister contacted the relatives in Albouystown and realised that Yvette Lall was not there.
The relatives also learnt that Yvette had disembarked from a bus in La Grange on October 16. That set them thinking about the body in the river.
The sister went to the La Grange Police Station, and they showed her a piece of clothing that was found with the corpse. The sister told the police that the garment looked like Yvette's.
The description given of the body fitted that of Yvette Lall, who had recently cut-curled her hair. Identity was reportedly further confirmed by fingerprints that were taken from the corpse.
Now that it was established that Yvette Lall was the mutilated mystery woman, suspicion fell on a 33-year-old fisherman, who was her neighbour.
The suspect, Ganga Deolall, lived at Lot 11, Unity Street, La Grange. He was married and had fathered three children.
There were reports that Deolall had made sexual advances on Yvette Lall, and even had a photograph of her.
On October 26, police arrested Ganga Deolall.
A younger brother of the suspect was also shot in the hip, allegedly after attacking a police rank with a knife during their investigation.
A few days later, detectives stated that Ganga Deolall had signed a caution statement which indicated that he had sexual intercourse with Yvette Lall in the vicinity of a koker in La Grange. It is alleged that Deolall claimed that the young woman had succumbed during their sexual encounter.
On a rainy day on November 3, 1987, Ganga Deolall appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates Court before Chief Magistrate K. Juman-Yassin, charged for the murder of Yvette Lall.
During the brief hearing, the Chief Magistrate was moved to remark that whoever killed the young woman did not deserve to live.
Although Deolall's attorney claimed that the statement was signed under duress, the document was admitted during his High Court trial. On November 22, 1995, Deolall was found guilty and was sentenced to death.
Like I said, case closed; that is, until, from his hospital bed, I received Deolall's version of the events.
Ganga Deolall admits that he knew Yvette Lall well. He described her as a "nice, good-looking girl."
According to the death row inmate, he visited the home regularly, but had never made any advances on her.
"They used to come by we (home)…we used to live like family," Deolall says.
He alleges that on the day Yvette Lall disappeared, the woman's sister had visited his home. He claimed that he followed the sister home at around 9:00 pm.
He claimed that when the body was found, his brother was holding a religious function, so he never saw the corpse.
Ganga Deolall says that he had accompanied Yvette Lall's sister and others to La Grange Police Station, when it was realized that Yvette Lall was missing.
But after the identity of the victim was confirmed, the police immediately took him, a woman and others into custody. They also shot his brother, Deolall said.
The death row inmate alleges that some detectives, whom he named, subjected him to a beating. This included blows to his scrotum, which he claims remains damaged to this day.
In fact, Deolall alleges that the surgery he recently underwent was for the removal of his damaged testicle.
The death row inmate claims that, after being repeatedly beaten, he eventually signed the statement which implicated him.
He says that after he was found guilty, he wrote to President Bharrat Jagdeo to proclaim his innocence.
However, on February 2000, a warrant was read for him and three other death row inmates to be hanged.
Nevertheless, he was granted a stay of execution.
So, if Ganga Deolall didn't kill Yvette Lall, who are the real killers? According to Deolall, he received information, while in prison, that Yvette Lall was slain by three villagers.
Unfortunately, the 'suspects' now reside overseas, leaving him to take the rap for the murder of Yvette Lall, and to be stuck with the label of 'crankshaft killer.'

Resolving Canada-U.S. Trade Disputes in Agriculture and Forestry: Lessons from Lumber
Prominent trade disputes between Canada and the U.S. involve agriculture and forestry, with lack of transparency caused by Canadian non-market institutions a source of U.S. objections. Though there has been a recent flurry of activity in the binational dispute resolution panel on Canadian exports of wheat, one of every six panels since 1989 has involved softwood lumber. We examine lessons from the lumber dispute to shed light on U.S. objections to the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB). We argue that U.S. lumber lobbyists will continue to use perceived Canadian institutional obscurity to keep pressure on policymakers, while the CWB system enables similar agricultural interests in to agitate for trade sanctions. Traditional strategies such as dispute resolution boards, appeals to the WTO, and bilateral policy reform can only buy Canada time – new strategies are needed if Canada is to maintain sovereignty over its trade institutions.

Kim Kardashian on Elizabeth Taylor's Passing: 'Forever My Idol'
The 79-year-old actress was certainly more than just that — she was a philanthropist and friend to many. In her last print interview, she was interviewed by Kim Kardashian for Harper's Bazaar. Kim even paid homage to one of Dame Elizabeth's most famous roles and dressed up as Egyptian queen Cleopatra for the magazine.
Kim expressed her sadness towards the passing on her blog:
The world stopped for a moment in time this morning when the legendary Dame Elizabeth Taylor passed away.
An era in time is over.
Elizabeth Taylor's achievements in film were outstanding. How can we forget her as a teenager in National Velvet? Then A Place in the Sun with Montgomery Clift when her tulle "daisy" dress became the most copied dress of all time for debutantes. Her performance with Paul Newman in Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, Rock Hudson and James Dean in Giant, Butterfield 8 with Eddie Fisher (which earned her, her first Academy Award), Cleopatra (the start of her life-time, love affair with Richard Burton) and her next Academy Award winning performance for Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? solidified her international elite status above and beyond any other female actor of her day.
Her continual and undying philanthropic work for AIDS gave the world hope, promise and awareness.
This year, one of the greatest highlights of my entire life was when I was asked to remake Cleopatra for Harper's Bazaar magazine in a fashion shoot. Not only did I get to wear Dame Elizabeth's original clothing from the movie, but I got to interview her for this piece! I never felt so lucky and fortunate; it was truly the greatest honor and dream of mine to be the iconic "Elizabeth Taylor" for one day! As I got to know her, I saw her beauty both inside and out, loved her humor and business mind and her spirit for life was truly amazing and contagious.
Unfortunately, this was Ms. Taylor's last interview ever and her last tweet was about our piece in Bazaar together. I am so very grateful to have had this amazing and phenomenal experience personally with my life-time idol, Dame Elizabeth Taylor.
Everyone remembers Elizabeth Taylor's famed and celebrated marriages along with her beautiful, acquired and renowned jewelry collection over the years.
RIP Elizabeth Taylor, forever my idol.
Although she's no longer with us, her legend will never fade. In lieu of flowers, her family has asked that donations be made to her life's work, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

The annual holiday shopping season presents wonderful revenue opportunities for wellness centers, yoga studios, health clubs, healthy lifestyle businesses and other health and wellness businesses.The only catch? It takes planning to catch this wave, because the holiday marketing season actually has eight distinct stages.
(And consider your audience – the "season" includes Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa, for example.)
Build your online, email and print holiday promotions around this calendar:
WHEN: Now through 11/15
WHAT: Early Bird Marketing
- Add a holiday teaser to your normal non-holiday marketing communications
- Update customers and members with new gift possibilities since last year
- Start "wishlist" marketing to help customers hint to their loved ones
WHAT: Primetime
- Help your clients match your services to their gift recipients – by price, by recipient, by area of interest
- Consider tie-ins to charities your wellness business supports
- Use BONGOL promotions – buy one now, get one later. Especially appealing to current clients who secretly want more of your services for themselves. The second item doesn't have to be identical to the first.
- Personalized or customized gifts, like hand-picked packages of services or custom gift baskets built around a gift certificate or prepaid participation in one of your health or wellness programs or services
WHEN: Day after Thanksgiving through end of November
WHAT: Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Sunday-Monday Marketing
- Partner with related local or online merchants to offer "Holiday Shopping Days" that incent customers to buy from your GROUP of businesses
- Consider: special discounts, gifts which bundle services from multiple merchants, punch cards redeemable only after being punched by each participating business
WHEN: First week of December
WHAT: Season's Greetings! loyalty marketing
- Primarily a goodwill message like "Season's Greetings, with our warm wishes for a happy and healthy holiday"
- Include a freebie (our preferred recommendation) or a special offer (but this changes the tone and impact)
- Consider your audience – the "season" includes Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa, for example.
WHEN: No later than December 10
WHAT: Countdown marketing
- Multi-day "X Days of Christmas" or daily deal promotion campaigns
- Best done at your locations and through Facebook or Twitter so you don't overwhelm your email subscribers
WHEN: Two weeks before Christmas
WHAT: Last-chance marketing
- Last day to order – key deadlines
- Last chance to get personalized or custom gifts
- Last chance to prepay participation for limited-enrollment programs
WHEN: One week before Christmas
WHAT: Last-minute marketing
- Stocking stuffers
- Curbside service – they buy over the phone or online, then zip in to pick up their already-gift-wrapped purchase (and YES, you can and should beautifully gift-wrap gift cards and gift certificates!)
- Buy-one, get-one – great for last-minute purchases because you can cross off two names at once
- E-gift cards or online gift certificates – instant delivery makes these the perfect extremely-last-minute choice
WHEN: Day after Christmas and beyond
WHAT: Post-holiday marketing
- Redemption marketing – get people to redeem gift cards and certificates
- Upsell opportunities – for example, selling a sports bra to someone who got a personal training gift certificate

The chairman of Menston Community Association has announced he will stand as an independent candidate for the Wharfedale ward in this year's Bradford Council elections.
Dr Stephen Ellams told a community forum meeting in the village last week he was intending to stand in the election on May 22.
Dr Ellams is currently teaching at the University of Leeds having retired as examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh and from the NHS as a Specialist Oral Surgeon.
He has been involved in local issues for many years, particularly the issue of planning in and around Wharfedale, and is keen to make sure the potential merging of Burley-in-Wharfedale and Menston must be resisted.
Dr Ellams is a founder member of the Wharfedale and Airedale Reviews Developments Group (WARD) and as special projects manager was responsible for commissioning a major report on the A65 Trunk Road.
He fronted the Village Green Application against the current Derry Hill planning application in 2012.
Most recently he presented a petition at Bradford Council Chambers and gave a speech on the loss of Green Belt.
He is currently pursuing an investigation with his local MP Philip Davies by the Local Government Ombudsman on the handling of the current planning applications in Menston.
Dr Ellams was elected chairman of Menston Community Association in October last year and stood in the 1997 General Election for the Shipley Constituency under Sir James Goldsmith's Referendum Party.
He said: "I have now lived in Menston at four different addresses for nearly 30 years and see myself retiring finally in the Wharfe Valley.
"However, before that time I would very much like to represent the communities of Menston and Burley-in- Wharfedale as an Independent local councillor and hopefully rebalance local politics."
Ilkley ward councillor councillor Anne Hawkesworth, who became independent last year, welcomed Dr Ellams' decision.
She said: "I know from my own experience that the only way our local communities can defend themselves from the predations of developers exploiting the shamefully lax attitude of the Conservative and Labour governments to planning matters is to return strong local Independent councillors to stand up for them.
"Councillors subject to the party whip simply cannot do this."

The owner was wonderful and spoke great English. The location, right next to Itaewon (the foreign district of Seoul), can't be beat. There's also various restaurants and an Internet cafe (PC bang) in the same building. Two thumbs up!

The woman who ran the place was fantastic. She was friendly and very hospitable. She made me feel like I was staying at a friend's home. If you can't read the Korean alphabet, Hangul, it may be difficult to find the place as some of the landmarks used in the directions are romanized versions of store fronts that are only in Hangul. However, it's quite close to the subway so if you have a map it should be quite easy to find. If you can read Hangul, you will have no trouble finding it.

Great purchase
I tried out different mattresses at local stores but their prices are out of my budget. Then Overstock has this one which is at least 20% less than any store I can find. This mattress has the latest design of spring coil and material. So you will not be disappointed in quality. Only drawback is that you will have to wait for a few of weeks -- in my case 3weeks total before it gets delivered.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Just as you would find from your local department store

The post-game analysis over November's election continues, but as Republicans reflect on their electoral losses, a common consensus has emerged on the right: the GOP, if it is to stay relevant and competitive in the coming years, has to broaden its demographic appeal.
In the the days following the election, as strategists unpacked the cause of Mitt Romney's presidential demise, exit poll data offered some early insight into what went wrong: Romney, despite winning among white voters in all age groups, had dismal showings in almost every minority group. He lost the Latino vote to Obama 71 percent to 27 percent. His numbers were worse among Asian-Americans, who voted for the president 73 percent to 26 percent. And, as the GOP had anticipated, it was no contest among African-Americans, 93 percent of whom voted to re-elect Mr. Obama.
On the morning of November 7, Republicans were already calling for change: Al Cardenas, the head of the American Conservative Union, told Politico that the GOP "needs to realize that it's too old and too white and too male and it needs to figure out how to catch up with the demographics of the country before it's too late."
More recently, Republican pollster Whit Ayres released a memo warning the GOP that it had "run out of persuadable white voters," and that "To be competitive nationally in the future, Republicans must do better among non-white Americans."
"There are a whole lot of smart Republicans who realize we've got to go in a new direction," Ayres told CBSNews.com.
Even as they tout newfound resolve to overhaul their outreach methodology and appeal to new voters, however, some question whether the party is willing to embrace the substantive change necessary to bring their goals to fruition.
A new direction?
In light of the party's recent losses -- Republicans lost seats in the House and Senate as well as in the presidency -- the GOP says it's committed to learning from the mistakes of the last cycle. The RNC recently launched a five-person committee aimed at evaluating the committee's work leading up to the 2012 election, and RNC spokesperson Sean Spicer insisted the committee is committed to taking actionable steps that will help reverse some of the recent demographic trends.
"We're looking at everything," Spicer told CBSNews.com. He says each member of the five-person team - which comprises RNC committee member Henry Barbour, Jeb Bush adviser Sally Bradshaw, former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer, Puerto Rico RNC committee member Zori Fonalledas, and South Carolina RNC member Glenn McCall - will take the lead on a certain issue and do extensive outreach to discern how to be more effective in the future. They'll look primarily at how to attract new voters going forward, and related questions of messaging, mechanics, get out the vote efforts, via conference calls, one-on-one discussion, and formal meetings.
"The goal obviously is to grow the party and win elections," Spicer said.
A big part of that equation has to do with increasing support among Latino voters. Not only did the overwhelming support of Hispanic voters help deliver Mr. Obama his re-election this year, but as the fastest-growing population in the U.S., Latinos will be an increasingly crucial voting bloc going forward. Romney is believed to have been badly damaged among Latinos by his harsh rhetoric on immigration reform during the primaries - one of his suggestions included "self-deportation" - as well as the party's generally unsympathetic tone on the subject.
In recent years, according to Ayres, Republicans "persuaded themselves that they could use very harsh language about undocumented Hispanics without offending those who are here legally, but that was very misguided." In his report, "The Hispanic Challenge and Opportunity for Republicans," he argues that fixing the nation's immigration system is just one of the many measures the party will have to adopt in order to make serious inroads into the community.
It's clear that lawmakers are getting the message: Many congressional Republicans have already softened their tone with regard to immigration, and Republican members of both the House and the Senate put forth immigration-related bills within just weeks of the election.
"A great many Republicans already have the right tone: People like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio promote conservative policies of limited government in a way that is very welcoming to new people who might not have been Republicans in the past," Ayres said. "So it's not like we don't have examples out there."
Talk vs. action
Despite the recent display of inclusiveness, it's unclear how far the GOP is willing to go on a policy level to make way for new members, and some wonder how fast change can feasibly come to a party that's dominated by elderly white men.

Integrative medicine, which combines conventional care with complementary and alternative therapies, has become an established component of some healthcare systems, hospitals, and medical and nursing schools. This according to a survey of 29 U.S. integrative medicine programs, treating a total of about 19,200 patients each month. The survey was conducted by the Bravewell Collaborative, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to advancing integrative medicine through education, research, and practice.
Allaying concerns that complementary medicine may include a hodge-podge of techniques, the survey revealed that interventions for specific conditions were remarkably consistent among diverse sites. Analysis also showed a strong correlation between the treatments offered for related ailments, such as heart disease and high blood pressure, and fatigue and sleep disorders, suggesting that treatment norms are emerging in integrative care.
"One of the most interesting findings was an analysis showing a lot of similarity in integrative interventions for each condition," says one of the study authors, Donald Abrams, M.D., chief of Hematology-Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital and an integrative oncologist Osher Center for Integrative Medicine,University of California, San Francisco. "Conditions that are very similar have the same battery of interventions used, but allergies, for example, are definitely treated quite differently than acute pain."
The interventions most frequently prescribed include dietary approaches and the use of supplements. In the treatment of 20 common health conditions, half or more of the centers reported using nutrition to treat all conditions except pain, and supplements for all conditions except pre-operative care. Other frequently used interventions include acupuncture, massage, meditation, yoga, and herbal and botanical remedies.
The wide variation in the quality of research about these treatments means that patients need to seek out reputable medical centers staffed by highly trained healthcare practitioners, according to Mimi Guarneri, M.D., director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla, California. "Integrative medicine is about knowing what to use, based on the evidence. Not everyone knows how to do this. It's one of the reasons why integrative medicine is being considered a specialty now."
But does integrative medicine work to alleviate patients' problems? One major limitation of the study was that it did not collect objective outcome measures—such as a fewer heart attacks and strokes, or reduction in symptoms or medication use. The survey instead asked centers to indicate the five conditions for which they were having the most clinical success. Although at least two centers reported success for each of the 20 common maladies, some conditions consistently made the top five. The majority of the centers reported having success treating chronic pain (75%), gastrointestinal disorders (59%), depression/ anxiety (55%), cancer (52%), and stress 52%. Conditions for which less than 20 percent of centers reported success included allergies, diabetes, and obesity.
More than 100 million Americans are suffering with pain, according to Abrams and those patients are among the most likely to seek out alternative therapies: "It's a huge problem that conventional practitioners are not doing as quite as well with as we found reported by our survey respondents." Some of the top-ranked treatments for chronic pain included medical massage, meditation, relaxation techniques, and yoga.
The integrated medicine centers also reported a high level of success treating gastrointestinal conditions using nutritional approaches, supplements, probiotics, and herbal remedies. "The most heavily prescribed pharmaceuticals in the U.S. are for digestive problems," points out Abrams. "We know from our centers that lifestyle changes can mean the difference between relief for these patients and hospitalization or chronic use of pharmaceutical therapies."
Cancer patients were mostly referred from conventional cancer treatment centers. The integrative medicine centers tended to offer emotional and nutritional support, as well as complementary therapies such as acupuncture and massage therapy, to people who are undergoing, or have completed, conventional cancer treatment.
So who pays for all this? The study found that while some aspects of integrative care such as nutritional counseling and psychiatric care are more likely to be covered by insurance, patients are more likely to have to pay themselves for therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and meditation. However, many in the field assert thinking outside the conventional therapy box has the potential to save healthcare dollars.
For example, incorporating integrative therapies for oncology patients at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York resulted in cost savings of $150 daily for each patient due to the reduced need for medications to treat nausea, anxiety, and insomnia according to Benjamin Kligler, M.D., vice chair of the department of integrative medicine at the hospital and professor of family and social medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York. So it is possible that a system in which conventional medicine works hand-in-hand with alternative therapies could both reduce costs and improve patient health.

This seems like a 2008 issue waiting to happen:
Bank of America found itself at the center of the nation's immigration controversy following a report on the front page of Tuesday's Wall Street Journal that it's offering credit cards to illegal immigrants in Los Angeles.
In the wake of the media firestorm, the nation's second-largest bank told the Los Angeles Times today that it complies fully with all banking and antiterrorism laws governing customer identification, which permit the use of individual taxpayer identification numbers, or ITINs, issued by the Internal Revenue Service.
Critics say that it's too easy for undocumented immigrants to receive ITINs.
"At face value the program seems to be problematic," Russ Knocke, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, told the Times. "It seems to be lending itself to possibilities of perpetrating identity theft or creating more risk for money laundering."
One doesn't need a U.S.-issued form of identification to get a Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. As the IRS states:
ITIN applicants are not required to apply in person, and IRS does not further validate the authenticity of identity documents. ITINs do not prove identity outside the tax system, and should not be offered or accepted as identification for non-tax purposes.
So let's say I have some sort of documentation from a foreign government that says that I am "John Doe," even though that's not really my name. Maybe the documentation is fake, or maybe I've committed identity theft. I fill out the IRS form, send in a pay stub for John Doe (the name I gave my employer), and get my ITIN. I go to Bank of America, fill out forms with my temporary residence here in the U.S., open a checking account with the minimum balance and don't bounce any checks for three months. If I do that, I get a credit card with a limit of $500; which I promptly blow and use. And then I go home to my home country, which I was going to do as a temporary migrant worker anyway. And the Bank of America and the IRS are looking for John Doe, who doesn't exist, other than on a piece of paper issued by some foreign government.
I mean, really, did we just have a major national bank offer a line of credit to individuals with A) no U.S.-issued form of photo identification B) no permanent address and C) a desire to depart to a foreign country in the near future? Does anyone else see a problem here?
UPDATE: Hillary Spot reader Peter writes in with some good news:
I called Bank of America to politely voice my concern over their plans to offer credit cards to illegal immigrants. The customer service rep made it clear that I wasn't the only customer who had been calling and emphasized that this was "a test" (i.e. something that BoA might shut down without losing face.) He seemed particularly interested in my concerns that existing, legal, BoA customers would be incur extra costs to cover the high fraud rate on this cards. In short, this may not be a done deal. Thanks for reporting on it and helping to keep the pressure on BoA.ANOTHER UPDATE: A Hillary Spot reader with familiarity with banking offers additional thoughts. Michael writes:
I run a small community bank in a rural area. There is no law that prevents a citizen from another country from opening an account in or borrowing money from a U.S. bank. It happens all the time. Sometimes the new customer resides overseas but does business here, sometimes he resides overseas but wants to put some money in a U.S. dollar account in a U.S. bank because of currency risk and or political risk. Sometimes he resides here. As I think about it, what should the banker do?No one has told us that it's our responsibility to determine if our customer has a valid visa or to make sure they haven't overstayed the time limit on their last entry.The issue isn't that citizens of foreign countries bank in the U.S.; the issue is proof of identity, along with concerns about the reliability of credit extended to a person who may or may not have a permanent address, who is likely to leave the country, and when it is unknown if or when the person will return to the U.S.. I realize I'm just a layman, but it strikes me as a credit risk.Later, Michael adds,
The idea that my credit card costs are going to be affected by higher fraud costs associated with illegal alien cardholders is absurd. If we truly believe in free markets and this occurs, low risk cardholders will gravitate to lower cost programs. Secondly, bank card programs are sophisticated enough that pricing is related to risk. No successful program(and Bankamerica's, formerly MBNA, is unquestionably, without exaggeration, the most sophisticated in the world) would charge a very low risk credit the same as a higher risk credit.Good for Bank of America, but how many illegal immigrants does BoA expect to sign on? How many of them will take out a credit card under a fake name, run up a $500 bill, and skip town?I'm sure it won't be enough to bankrupt Bank of America, but it will be a loss. Why should currently-existing low-risk Bank of America customers "gravitate" — i.e., switch — to another card or bank because BoA's management has decided to gamble by reaching out to the illegal immigrant market? In a nation of 300 million people, is any bank really forced to target illegal immigrants as a desired demographic to extend credit to?

Aluratek Libre Air
After some years of using my Ectaco Jetbook, I couldn't resist and bought a new Aluratek Libre Air online for a few bucks.
Man, what a great (little) ereader it is! I still think the lcd screens of the jetbooks/libres are far superior to any E-ink screen. I just can not get used to teh annoying flashing of the screen I get when flipping a page. I tried one of those, but sold my E-ink reader after a short while...
The Libre Air really feels like a nice upgrade of the Jetbook! The optical D-Pad works great, wifi works flawlessly, the kobo bookstore is nice, the android like buttons (home/back/menu) are handy and the GUI is intuitive.
I am very satisfied with it and will use it as my main ereader. I gave my Jetbook to my wife.
If you can find it (cheap), buy it! You won't regret it.
One question: I am looking for some way that I can use the build in browser to go go to any other website than Kobo. Is this possible? Any firmwareupgrade or workaround that can do this?

The costume possibilities at Millennium are virtually endless
Still haven't found a costume? Don't have time to sift through jam-packed thrift-store racks? Don't have any desire to spray on a prepackaged sexy-nurse outfit? No worries. Millennium (1109 Granville Street) has got you covered. And who better to get you in the festive spirit than assistant manager Billy Bonito (aka Billy Hopeless)?
The former lead singer of the Black Halos has no shortage of ideas—and furthermore, he's more than willing to share them with anyone who's within earshot. Which isn't all that surprising. After all, if you've ever bumped into the perfectly accessorized frontman at a gig, you know that a) the man can talk a blue streak and b) he clearly loves to play dress up.
But first things first. Make no mistake—Bonito and co. want you to know that the vast selection of alternative clothing at Millennium isn't a seasonal offering.
"We're not a Halloween pop-up shop," says the immortal punk rocker during a tour of the store, which started out as a novelty shop in Edmonton 18 years ago before expanding into fashion and opening a Vancouver branch. "This is an all-year-round shop. I love it when people go, 'Oh, you're a Halloween store.' And then I'm like, 'Come and see us in December and tell me that.' "
When it comes to creating a totally rock 'n' roll costume from scratch, Bonito recommends taking cues from the steampunk movement. The pseudo-Victorian, sci-fi "retro-futuristic" subgenre is all the rage in the underground scenes these days. And according to Bonito, there's so much to work with here that it doesn't matter if you don't have a specific idea in mind.
"Just dress to excess," he says. "Accessories, as I always say, make the whole picture."
For example, you could start with a corset like the Burleska red-and-black satin number ($99.99), a tutu or some black pleather short-shorts, and some crazy-ass platforms like the Tuk black-and-red Mary Janes ($119.99).
After that, it's all about the accoutrements. A top hat is a steampunk must-have, and Millennium has a great selection of handmade wool classics ($119), which are so much more effective with goggles ($49.99) around the base. And if you really want to rock that postapocalyptic circus-ring mistress look, go for a leather bullwhip ($89), fishnets ($6.99), a pocket watch, and loads of mechanically inspired jewellery—think clock gears, lots of clock gears. The robotic dragonfly necklace by Alchemy Gothic ($99.99), in particular, is a stunning piece to sport any time of the year.
If you want something that's a little more pared down but just as sexy, perhaps a demonic Bettie Page would be to your liking. Millennium has some gorgeous knee-length velvet pinup dresses ($159.99)—the wine-coloured version would look especially hot with outrageously vampy makeup and glittered red devil horns ($2.99). And the best part about this getup is the dress is so versatile it'll also get you through the December party season.
And if you know of any "nerdcore" dudes looking for a last-minute costume, Millennium's got a healthy assortment of Star Wars merch, like the faux-fur Chewbacca zip-up hoodie ($99.99) and the C-3PO gold-lamé backpack ($69.99)—perfect for carting your collectibles around! (Added bonus: partial proceeds from these purchases go toward supporting starving artist George Lucas, who, at last count, only had $3 billion and change in his account.)
But those are just a few ideas. The costume possibilities at Millennium are virtually endless. So whether you're beige, punk, goth, rock 'n' roll, or a fandom virgin, let this year be a happy, happy Hopeless Halloween!
"Yeah, we love playing dress up," Bonito admits. "And we love making everyone's wildest fantasies and nightmares come true."

The nfl has much bigger say over who plays on NBC than the NBA does on who plays on ABC.
The NFL also doesn't wait 2 full months before televising an NBC game....
The NBA's showcase games are TNT anyway. Those are the events held for the fans. ABC games are broadcast just because ABC owns ESPN and ESPN has the contract. ABC only wants the playoff ratings.
If ABC could opt not to show any nba regular season games outside of Christmas and just broadcast playoff/finals games, they would. They most likely agreed to show a certain number of regular season games on ABC, but demanded a say in what teams they would show.
San Antonio came within one shot of winning the title last season. They are on ABC once, and they only get that game because it's a finals rematch against the heat.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- "Bars? We spent most of the time drinking in the parking lot."
Cleveland resident and longtime club-goer Jim Lanza was surveying Charkha as he remembered what used to be on this very site when he first ventured into the Warehouse District.
Today, this locale is a trendy Indian restaurant and one of the newest -- not to mention most exotic -- additions to the downtown dining scene. But back in 1984, 1265 West Ninth St. was the home of a grungy punk club known as the Lakefront.
Charkha is a marked contrast to the mohawk-and-leather crowd of the Lakefront. And not just because you won't find graffiti on the walls, broken beer bottles on the floors or bands such as Alien Sex Fiend on the stage.
The restaurant, you see, is part of a makeover taking place in the Warehouse District -- featuring a dozen eateries or bars that have opened or are slated to open in the coming months.
The entertainment district has experienced many over the last three decades since the Lakefront came and went.
"The Warehouse District has been in continuous evolution since the early '80s," says Tom Yablonsky, Historic Warehouse District Development Corp. executive director. "What we're seeing now is an increasing diversity in new places opening up."
There are Indian, Mexican and Lebanese eateries to go with dance clubs, burger spots and party-hearty bars. There's also a different landscape taking shape.
"Next year we're going to see a landscaping and expansion of the sidewalks along West Sixth," says Yablonsky. "So what we'll have is more of a cafe experience."
The spate of new openings has as much to do with rehabbing an image as well as the neighborhood, a collection of more than 60 Victorian-era buildings that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
"The Warehouse District took a hit in the summer of 2010," says party promoter Franco Bucci. "A lot of people wrote it off for dead, because they saw the Flats all over again."
Bucci, of course, is referring to the spate of incidents in 2010 that involved underage patrons, unruly crowds and racial controversies.
The incidents led to an agreement between the city and business owners in an attempt to stave off a Flats-like descent. College-ID nights were phased out, security was increased, and dress codes were introduced.
"Things are under control now, which is great," says Bucci, who has hosted a popular international-themed party, Roma, at various clubs. "Now the question is, can it grow and attract a wider crowd that might not go to the area otherwise?"
Bucci is trying, with Temple. The bar -- b in the former location of Spy Bar, 1265 West Sixth St., -- has hosted the occasional live band and eclectic party.
The area has experienced competition from the rise of the East Fourth and West 25th entertainment districts.
"Those areas are more about dining or drinking, though," he says. "The Warehouse District is big enough to accommodate different kinds of people. It just has to lure more of them down and show that it isn't just 'Jersey Shore' bars or just sports bars."
Liquid Nightclub has knocked down walls to transform itself from multiple clubs into a single wide-open club. It also has rolled out a wide-open and eclectic array of themes to appeal to more diverse crowds.
It hosts trivia nights on Thursdays. Then there are the parties. Tonight, Playboy model Daniella Dior will stop by to host a party. On Nov. 10, Paul Oakenfold will come in to DJ.
Then there are naked sushi nights (the next one is Oct. 15). And then there is the sushi bar.
"We're opening one on Nov. 3," says co-owner Dennis Locsei. "We're noticing people coming from out of town, tourists coming to the casino and all around a diverse mix of people coming down that we want to appeal to."

Birthday messages for Muhammad Ali
Boxing legend Muhammad Ali turns 60 on Thursday. Send your birthday greetings to 'The Greatest'.
Born Cassius Clay on 17 January 1942, Muhammad Ali is undoubtedly the most famous boxer ever to grace the ring.
He won Olympic gold in 1960, before going on to win the world heavyweight title on three occasions.
At his peak, Ali was the most recognisable face on the planet, and despite a debilitating illness, remains an iconic figure to this day.
Send your birthday tributes to sport's greatest ever star.
Muhammad Ali still embodies the best of the human spirit. Self-belief, dignity, humour, intelligence and self-pride. What a man!
It's unbelievable that a person I only know from the TV screens, has somehow provided me with inspirations in every aspect of my life. You are truly a great man.
There have been greats and legends who have achieved fame for what they did on field. But, surely nobody can match it with the resolve and self-belief that you showed off it too apart from all the skill in the ring. You are truly the greatest.
The most influential and inspirational sportman ever on this earth. His self pride and self-respect inspired many in different parts of the world to stand by their principles and defend their basic rights. God bless you Ali, to stay alive, and happy for many years to come.
Happy 60th to the greatest boxer who ever lived. You will always be the champ!
Paul Regan, Newcastle, Australia
I was a teenager when Muhammad was at his prime. I can only imagine how good his boxing would have been if the US Government hadn't robbed him of his best years. To think what he achieved (boxing wise) after his lay-off when he beat Foreman, Frazier and almost everyone else, defies belief. He wasn't a saint, but he was a giant of both his own and future generations. Happy birthday champ and may you have many more of them.
You've had my admiration for at least 30 years. Thank you for showing the world what courage means.
Happy Birthday, to a very special person. You have so much dignity, intelligence and heart. A role model for millions across the globe.
Mohammed Ali is the greatest sports man, philosopher and poet. He is a man who challenged and defeated not only his boxing opponent but also ideas that he does not believe in. He really is a true role model for all us out here. Happy 60 years Champ!
The personification of greatness and an inspiration to all mankind. Thank you for the courage you have shown and the love you have inspired.
Tom Rowland-Hill, London, England
I can remember that day in Zaire when you knocked down Foreman. For me that day was your real birth day, I could not sleep that day because you were born. A flame of glory was lit and will remain for ever and eternally as yourself.
I will never forget your fight with Joe Fraizer in which you gave him the worst and the most strong punches. I was then in the USA, out shopping watching you on television in a TV store. I waited until the end of the game and I was shouting "long live Ali!" I still pray for your long life and wishing you the best in your prosperous years to come. May God bless you dear Ali.
One of my earliest memories is seeing you box live on the television. For me (and I guess millions of others) you have served as a role model about standing up for what is right and perhaps most importantly, your actions taught me the importance of racial tolerance. You are one of the few people who have changed the world for the better. Good on ya Champ.
Top man. Top boxer. Definitely the greatest. Warm greetings and heartfelt congratulations on your 60th birthday for a lifelong contribution to sport and humanity.
Sean Middleton, UK
You are my best friend. Happy birthday to you. I wish you all the best - you are always champion. Can you tell me please about food wich food danger for fatttt.
Mohamed Ali, you are the best and you are the master of boxing. Happy birthday to you. Our prayers are with you.
To have so touched the lives of so many way beyond the world of boxing is tribute enough to your extraordinary athleticism, wonderful courage and compelling personality. All our lives have been graced by you being among us. Thank you.
Let us blare the horns and celebrate, for Muhammad Ali has shown us all what greatness really means. He promoted his sport with all his faculties and had brawn to match. He stood up for his beliefs, and rightly so, pointing quite early to the futility of war. He has also demonstrated to us all that medical adversity should not force one into despondence. May Allah continue to bless you and may your shadow never grow less. Enjoy your birthday.
Efosa Aruede, Nigeria
I read about you in school. I read your younger days and your fighting with the racists. Anyway I hope my life will be just as much worthful as yours.
What a fighter, but more importantly, what a man. He certainly opened my eyes.
Happy Birthday to a man who has floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee, and now - like always - makes people happy!
I've been reading all the comments and it has brought tears to my eyes. Words cannot describe your virtues, Happy Birthday Muhammed Ali!
As a black kid growing up in London you made me proud to be what I am, I have a lot to thank you for. Truly the greatest.
Jimmy Lewis, England
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! My name is Muhammad - Muhammad Ali! What a man, what an athlete. To be a great man as well as a great athlete is a rare phenomenon. Quite simply, undisputedly, unquestionably, you were and always will be the greatest of all time. Happy Birthday Champ - you're a living legend!
Muhammad Ali: the best fighter, a much loved father, an inspired poet, the leader of a generation, one of the biggest figures of the 20th century, a showman, the biggest challenge to the racist status quo of America at that time. Surely this man is a gift from above: thank you Allah!
MA you are the best, you are the greatest, you flew like a butterfly and stung like a bee no doubt, you are simply 'Lord of the Ring', a great champ and a wonderful human being. An example for us all, thank you for giving us so much pleasure, have a wonderful 60th and many more.
Congratulations Mr Muhammad Ali. I pray for your long life and happiness. I hope your daughter Laila follows in your footsteps.
Happy birthday.
Salaam Brother, I was born in the year you beat George Foreman and started following your biography a few years back. I really admire you as a role model and pray to Allah that he blesses you and helps you in all the good causes you are involved in.
The innovator who was more than boxer and a sportsman, he was a man who saw the future, changed thinking, the culture and role of sports in our lives. I love the man and what he stood for.
A brilliant role model. May Allah bless him with good health and a long life!
Muhammad Ali - A hero to several generations who transcended sport and truly is the 'greatest'. Happy Birthday!
To a champion of not only boxing but of life, Ali retired when I was seven but he was and still is my hero. A true champion in all senses of the word. Here's to another 60!
A truly worthy role model in a world with a dearth of role models. A man whose influence and compassion reaches beyond sport.
Happy birthday Ali. You talked the talk and you could always walk the walk. A great boxer, sportsman and more importantly a great ambassador for mankind. Happy birthday and may you have many more!
The greatest sportsman ever born. Still the greatest and always will be. Happy Birthday Sir Ali.
In today's world, we brandish the word legend around to frequently in the absence of true icons and role models. Ali, you own the copyright and trademark on that one.
Happy Birthday Champ.
The greatness of Ali was not limited to the boxing ring. He was, and is, one of the greatest people that ever lived. No sportsperson has ever been able to match, or even come close to the way Ali used his stature to challenge imperialism, racism and any other form of oppression.
I was in Malaysia at the time Ali fought Joe Bugner and will never forget the absolute frenzy he caused amongst the locals there. He is the greatest there ever was, and it can also be said that he was the only sportsman who was bigger than the game. When he left boxing the game suffered unbelievably.
What a man, what a star, the greatest boxer of all time. I don't like the sport but have the greatest respect for all you have achieved both in and out of the ring. You are a true sportsman, an example to the over hyped sportsmen of today. Happy Birthday.
He stood up to the US authorities to defend his principles and refused to fight in Vietnam. He helped Black Americans to gain recognition and respect. He delighted the whole world with his sense of fun. He was the best sportsman of all time. Today's boxers wouldn't have got near him with a shovel. Quite simply, he was the Greatest of all time! God Bless you Muhammad and Happy Birthday.
A great champion, a great human being - that's what makes him the best. Happy Birthday.
Simply the Greatest sportsman of the last century - still an inspiration to us all. A very happy birthday to you.
Build, speed and agility - you had them all. With this combination many would fall! Have a great day. Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday to the greatest - I love the man so much. You still give so much to the world, if only there were more like you.
It's unimaginable to believe 'The Greatest' is sixty years old. Come to think of it, every boxer he fought reached that age while they were in the ring with him. Happy Birthday Champ.
Muhammad Ali, thank you for the example you set for all of us. You are one of God's bright stars. A great boxer and more importantly a really great human being - Happy Birthday.
I have followed his life since I was a kid. I was too young to see him fight but in an age lacking role models and figureheads, Ali is someone that all kids should look to. He shook up the world when he beat Liston, and five decades on, very few in the world have had an impact as great as he has. God bless him. Happy birthday!
If ever a fighter had been able to demonstrate that they were the greatest, it was Ali. He truly was the greatest of them all, happy birthday.
The highest praise for Ali still wouldn't be high enough! Happy Birthday, and all the best.
Happy birthday Ali. We know you are ailing as a result of the crude game which should now be banned. However, you proved to be a master of the game during your time and may you live to blow 1001 candles.
Muhammad Ali is the greatest boxer in the world. I have nothing but respect for the great one. May Allah bless you on this special occasion. Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Ali - Always the Greatest!!
Muhammad Ali, You are the greatest of ALL the greatest boxers in history. Happy Birthday!

Looking ahead to the games that are set to dominate the rest of 2011 — Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3, Resistance 3, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Batman: Arkham City — one thing becomes abundantly clear: the game industry is absolutely dominated by sequels. So pervasive are sequels, be they annualized sports franchises or the yearly installment of Call of Duty, that it is often more surprising when games don't receive sequel than when they do.
Of course, if a game were able to establish a stable source of income separate from its retail release, for instance by regularly offering new DLC for purchase, it might make sense to space out retail editions. Such is exactly the case with the King of Music Games, Rock Band 3. Hold on to your discs, friends, because there will not be a Rock Band 4 in 2011.
Released last October, Rock Band 3 is the current culmination of Harmonix's music game expertise, and we here at Game Rant loved it (check out our review). If you haven't given the game a chance yet, there has never been a better time. Rock Band 3 now retails for just $20, and the long awaited Fender Stratocaster Pro Guitar is finally available.
With an available library of over 2000 downloadable songs, and new tracks being added every week (next week brings songs from Culture Club, Faith No More, and Phish), Harmonix can afford to avoid the rush to the next holiday Rock Band release.
Speaking to Game Informer, Harmonix Vice President of Strategy and Business Development Chris Rigopulos addressed the issue of a sequel, while still reassuring fans that Rock Band 3 is not the end of the franchise.
"… we're not planning a Rock Band 4 disc release in 2011. Rock Band 3 is a big game with lots of available music content and lots of new goals and challenges. We want to give our fans the time to explore that fully. But rest assured that Harmonix is still developing new ideas and concepts to advance the Rock Band franchise, and we look forward to sharing those when the time is right."
Of course, Harmonix is no longer known exclusively as the developer of Rock Band. Dance Central is also the studio's work, and it was the true breakout hit of the Kinect launch. Despite making use of a DLC platform similar to Rock Band's, there has been speculation that we might we see a sequel to Dance Central this Christmas.
At the same time, one has to wonder what is left for Harmonix to add to the Rock Band formula. With the inclusion of Pro Mode, keyboards, and vocal harmonies, Rock Band 3 seems to be about as complete a package as possible. That said, I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
What do you think of the news that there won't be a new Rock Band game this year? Do you expect a new Dance Central?

Skott and Shawna
Those are indeed some intense stats!! We are most jealous of the 25 wine and liquor tastings…in fact if it would have been our trip, I think we would have eased of on the charitable deeds, and put a bit more focus on the merlot samplings…. 🙂
Nice work guys!
What a wonderful journey and how nice to follow you all the way! You guys have been terrific, we go back and forth throughout your posts and find so much inspiration! You are our guide on our future trips! When is a book due..?

I'm into personality tests and stuff so I'll just let those speak instead of me writing stupid things (even though those tests probably aren't completely smart either). so, here we go.
Jung/Keirsey/MBTI: INTJ
Big Five/SLOAN: RCOEI, primary type: Reserved
Enneagram: intellectualism (5)
Tritype: 584
Cognitive functions: Te, Ti, Ni, Fi, Ne, Si, Se, Fe
MBTI based on cognitive functions: INTJ
MBTI subtype based on cognitive functions: ENTJ
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral with some tendencies towards Chaotic Good
i'm not an atheist but an apathetic atheist/apatheist as in i don't believe in and don't give a damn if there are/is a god/gods. however, despite not being religious, i do have a Mjölnir (or Mjölner, whichever you prefer) tattoo on my right arm. and yes, i lied, i don't drink often. okay, i do drink a beer almost every morning, but that's basically it, and beer is the only alcohol i drink, everything else makes me feel sick, i throw up after even one sip of wine, whiskey, vodka etc. i do drink Schnaps sometimes (as in once or twice every couple of years) tho.
Since this nice little page is loaded with my supervillain stuff, maybe I should write a few good things about my personality. So, besides wickedness, good things about me are probably rationality, passion, dedication and calmness. Hmmm... That's about it. I adore taking vocal melodies from opera arias and other classical vocal stuff and using them as vocal melodies for death metal stuff so I'm probably a totally insane person too.
I'm working on becoming the most evil supervillain the world has ever seen. I'm pretty cruel by nature so the job's already halfway done. mwahahahaha!
my softer side: taking care of my dog. the beast is a spoiled brat and that's exactly how it should be.
my life goal, besides the obvious, is to be an old bitchy lady with a house full of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters etc. and hopefully a wolf.
MOVIES: I hate that Human Centipede thing, I expected something really good because the idea for the movie(s) is pretty cool, but I'm soooo disappointed, it really sucked. both parts (now there's a third part, maybe even fourth but my eyes won't come near that crap ever again). the worst movie I've ever seen is probably Napoleon Dynamite.
not to be just negative here, my favorite actors are Ewan McGregor and Nicolas Cage, don't have a fave actress (i do like those old movie stars like Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn, Veronica Lake, Sophia Loren etc. but none's a favorite), fave movie's Wild at Heart (there's some nice music in there too, like Powermad's Slaughterhouse, or Nicolas Cage singing Love Me and Love Me Tender).
SHOWS: Star Trek of course. Criminal Minds (I kinda have a crush on dr. Spencer Reid), The Vampire Diaries, Poirot, Columbo, CSI (all of them - except CSI Cyber, that shit sucks), Bones, L.A. Dragnet, Buffy, JAG, Red Dwarf, Married... With Children, Walker Texas Ranger (one of my favorite shows ever; Chuck Norris is a moron, but the show's great) and so on and on and on and on and on and... I'll basically watch any detective, police, forensic etc. show. I'm also obsessed with the Game of Thrones show, it's really bad having to wait for a year to see the next season (update: i've quit watching after finding out a certain lady character from the books won't be in the tv show). Friday Night Cranks.
MUSIC: opera. classical. metal. anything good and dramatic. I quite dislike ballads. okay, I do like a few, but they're not my thing in general. have a strong preference for guitar oriented music. my favorite music ever is probably (tech / brutal) death metal. and rockabilly/rock 'n' roll. when it comes to music i'm quite open minded and curious, but at the same time very old school, if that's making any sense. experimenting, innovations, novelties etc. can be good, but experimenting just for the sake of experimenting is bullshit. my favorite band is Iced Earth with Matt Barlow who was my main inspiration to become a singer, and i'd like to thank him for that, although he most likely won't see it but anyway, thanks man. i'm also a very passionate George Michael fan and have a soft spot for boy bands, a lot of songs have stupid corny lyrics and music but many of those guys are great singers.
some of my fave artists, in no particular order except for number one (have no clue why i didn't write this before, but i do feel like writing it now so here it goes): Iced Earth, George Michael, Oomph!, Spawn of Possession, Cacophony, Suffocation, Candlemass, Queensrÿche (Queen of the Reich is one of my favorite songs to sing, still working on perfecting my performance), Mercyful Fate, Dio, Asphyx, Immolation, Freak Kitchen, Vomitory, Morpheus Descends, Canopy, Forbidden, Schöngeist, Rage, Symphony X, Nevermore, Septicflesh, Renata Tebaldi and a gazillion more. fave composers: Mozart and Grieg.
FOOD: the most disgusting food I've ever put in my mouth is sushi. I feel sick from just saying that word. i prefer italian food like pizza (unfortunately, i totally suck at cooking but i do make a mean pizza, even if i do say so myself), insalata caprese, carbonara, lasagne, ravioli, bruschetta etc. and beer of course.
