New The Red Paintings Video
Stay tuned for more bananas from the site's resident wannabe Aussie (if they'd just get rid of those damn spiders and drop bears!).
So keen for this album. Been way way too long. New single was good, chorus was kinda boring but that string bit at the end yum
The drop bears and bunyips are the least of your worries mate. It's the fuckin magpies that are lethal
The cellist and violinist he has with him on this tour are phenomenal. I wish I had a better camera than I did when it comes to photographs. Took some video of "Mad World" tonight (they made the second verse heavier -- not sure if it was because they're with MSI, some other one-time thing, or if it's a permanent fixture). They played a couple legit new songs and then a handful of remakes/revisits/updates to older material.
And the spiders? Still a no.
Kinda weird they're touring with a joke band like MSI but not the first time either. Yeah, it kind of sounds like this album is a bit more rock focused than their last couple of EPs so maybe it is a permanent thing. What's the theme of their stage show atm?
Eh, most of the ones you're gonna walk into are harmless. The cities are pretty safe. Except for the magpies. Kind of amazed no one has made a movie where a mad scientist teaches them to use rifles.
I feel like i've been waiting for their album to come out my whole life
I feel like it's a really obvious troll, that they're just never going to release that album. I mean, the title even says it's never coming.
Considering they're meant to be doing the Aussie tour to coincide with it's release, that'd be the cruelest fucking dick move ever
>> What's the theme of their stage show atm?
They're still doing geishas in terms of costumes and the body canvases were still extraterrestrial in nature. It was tough to say what Trash was... he looked like he was out of a Russian-tinged Star Wars because he had a gremlin in his backpack/satchel and was wearing an ushanka.

You Asked: How can a Shy Girl Make New Friends?
Dear Sugar--
I moved to Japan by myself for a job a couple of months ago and I am having a hard time making friends. I am a very shy person and I don't feel comfortable walking into bars or going to restaurants by myself (both of which have been recommended as good places to make friends). I also don't feel comfortable initiating conversations with strangers, especially since I can yet string together a complete sentence.
Because I'm Asian, I completely blend in and don't get the benefit of having random strangers start conversations with me like other foreigners in Japan do. I started going to Japanese lessons offered by a community centre in hopes of
meeting people but the volunteers there are all senior citizens. They are very nice but I want to meet people my age. The other students too are all much older. I am a single woman in my mid-twenties and I want to have some
fun! But I don't know where to start. Any suggestions? --Lonely Laurie
To see DEARSUGAR's answer
Dear Lonely Laurie--
Moving to a new city, let alone a new country can be a difficult transition, so while you are shy, stepping out of your comfort zone and being a little more outgoing than usual will help move you in the right direction to creating a new life for yourself. Making friends can be equated to dating, you have to go through a screening process to see if you are compatible with potential new friends, a process that won't happen overnight.
Since you moved to Japan for work, have you gotten to know any of your co-workers? Making friends through your job is a sure fire way of finding people with similar interests. Venturing out and exploring/participating in community activities is another great way to meet people. Join a gym, or a local book club. Instead of reading or working at home, try spending some time in a coffee shop. Volunteering is a wonderful way to spend your time so perhaps look into something a little more age appropriate.
Are you opposed to meeting people on the internet? Even if you don't use it as a way to find a "love connection" you could use it as an easy way to make friends. Do you have a favorite boutique you visit often? Sparking conversation with store owners and sales associates is yet another great way to meet local people that could in time, introduce you to friends of friends.
Making connections with people won't happen overnight, so be patient and don't give up. Getting yourself out there and being approachable is the best thing you can do. Hopefully in time you will develop your own niche and Japan will feel like home! Good luck.

Article — From the February 1955 issue
Two Practical Politicians
Now comes a monumental irony of modern history. Without the peasant's unsatisfied desire to own his land, there would not have been a Russian revolution in 1917 and, almost certainly, the Bolsheviks would not have triumphed in the Communist phase of that revolution in November 1917. Not Marxism or Socialism or Communism, but the peasant's great longing for land was the most powerful single engine of the Russian upheaval of 1917.
In 1917 Lenin perceived this fact. He was thoroughly prepared to junk or alter Marxist theory in the interests of the immediate struggle for power. As a practical politician, he managed to harness a good deal of the discontent which had infected the peasant-born Russian armies; and he used this non-Marxist—almost anti-Marxist—motive to seize power.
Lenin's 1917 slogans were: Land, Bread, and Peace. Despite seventy years of Marxism, in the showdown Lenin rated the peasant's desire for land the most effective political force to which he could appeal.
In China the peasant was even more important to Communist victory than he was in Russia. At first, the Chinese Communists sought to achieve power by mobilizing strength in the cities. They organized the industrial workers and infiltrated union organizations in the approved manner. It took a whole series of defeats, starting in 1927, to disabuse them of this strategy.
The emergence of Mao-tse Tung between 1927 and 1935 developed directly from his two perceptions: (1) that the desire of the poor peasant for a bit of land which he could call his own was a powerful political force; and (2) that if he associated the Communist movement with that force, he had a chance to build an effective military establishment in the countryside, with which he might ultimately seize power. This strategy was regarded for some time in Moscow as unorthodox.
From a Western point of view, however, there is nothing inconsistent with Communism about it. Lenin in his own way was equally flexible in his Marxism. The underlying truth is, of course, that long before 1917 and long before 1949, when Communism was victorious in China, Communism had ceased to be a philosophy of history and an ideological movement in the Western sense. It had become primarily a tactical conspiracy, by a self-appointed elite, for the pursuit and maintenance of power. As such, it was prepared to make its slogans fit its power requirements. Lenin, Stalin, and Mao all did this when occasion demanded.
We are confronted, then, with a first-class irony of modern history. Marxist theory had—and has—no sympathy or interest in the desires of the farmer. Nevertheless, Communist tacticians in both Russia and China achieved power in large part by harnessing to their purposes the peasant's aspiration for his own land.

The athletic complex for the new Montezuma-Cortez high school will be scaled back from original plans, school officials revealed Tuesday.
But the project will still feature a 1,000-capacity stadium, complete with a press box, ticket booth, and regulation turf-grass field for football and soccer.
The stadium will be surrounded by a competition track, and include ample space for track and field events, including javelin, high jump, and shot put.
"The stadium and competition fields will be a real centerpiece and allow us to host regional events. It will serve thousands of kids involved in sports," said Re-1 Superintendent Alex Carter.
And as with most major projects, when the blurry view of estimated costs come into focus there is a sense of sticker shock. The budget for the athletic fields at the new high school was cut from $3.7 million to $1.7 million, Carter said.
"It is our toughest budget cut, almost half," he said.
On the chopping block are stadium lights, stadium bathrooms, a field house, new locker rooms, a stationary concession stand, visitor bleachers, softball and baseball fields, and the tennis courts.
Students and fans will use school bathrooms during games.
No stadium lights means day games only, and it could create scheduling problems for soccer and football teams needing to use the fields for home games.
"We will be going to day games because of the lights being cut from the budget," Carter said. "Day games will reduce the partying by students before the game."
School board member Diane Fox warned that there could be push back from the community on eliminating night games under the lights, a high school tradition.
"We have a lighted stadium at the middle school, why not use that and add softball and baseball fields at the new high school?" she said.
Cortez city ball fields will suffice for school baseball and softball games, Carter said, and the middle school could still be used for night games by the high school if necessary.
Underground conduit will be installed if there is funding in the future for stadium lights, expected to cost $300,000.
"It will be a challenge to book soccer and football games on Saturdays," Fox added.
A regulation size soccer practice field is still in the plans and could be used for competition events, officials said.
Ken Ronig, an associate with architect firm DPS, presented the revised plans.
"The stadium will be situated in a natural bowl on the property. It will be a really beautiful feature," he said.
The track around the stadium will be top notch as well.
"It is an eight-lane, compound curve track. It is the latest in track design, and friendly on the feet," Ronig said.
The $33.9 million school project is expected to be completed by fall of 2015.

Chuck Koplinski: 'Guardians' is 'Star Wars' for a new generation
It's been a dismal summer at the movies, not only where the quality of films is concerned but also in regard to how much fun viewers have been having. Sure, "22 Jump Street" was funny, and "X-Men: Days of Futures Past" and "Godzilla" were satisfying spectacles, but neither was lighthearted enough to leave a smile on my face.
Want more cinema talk? Tune to WDWS Thursday at 4:20 as Brian Moline talks with Luke Boyce of Shatterglass Studios.
Fortunately, there's an antidote to this in the form of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy," a film that shouldn't work yet, somehow does as it finds the proper balance between well-done sci-fi mayhem and self-effacing comedy to produce a crowd-pleasing entertainment that's the very definition of what a summertime, popcorn movie should be.
While this is a Marvel Studios production, the superheroes at its center are not what you would call first-string characters on the order of Iron Man or Captain America. No, these are more like tier-four oddballs, the sorts you focus on after the mainstays and their substitutes and then THEIR substitutes have been exhausted, living in throwaway stories dropped in the back of a more famous character's comic or given an occasional, short-lived mini-series of their own.
This works to the film's advantage as these reluctant heroes carry little baggage or general awareness, so they'll seem fresh to the uninitiated. And while this movie is a part of the Marvel Studios film universe with its already planned sequels set on a collision course with Avengers 3, much of what happens here is self-contained and serves as the perfect jumping-on point for any of the uninitiated.
One of the most pleasant surprises of the film is that each of the five characters who make up this group are extremely likable.
Peter Quill (Chris Pratt in a star-making turn), an overgrown adolescent who was kidnapped from Earth as a child and refers to himself by the self-aggrandizing title of "Star Lord," is an intergalactic scavenger who looks for artifacts of interest to sell to the highest bidder. Think of him as the outer space version of Indiana Jones — and it's hard not to as the scene where he makes his first acquisition is a loving homage to the opening of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." His latest find — a metal orb that unknown to him contains an object of great power — brings him nothing but trouble as nefarious bad guy Ronan (Lee Pace) wants it and sends one of his cohorts, the green-skinned living weapon Gamora (Zoe Saldana) to fetch it. However, she's tripped up by bounty hunters Rocket (voice by Bradley Cooper), a cynical gun-tooting, cigar-chomping genetically modified raccoon, and Groot (voice by Vin Diesel), a kindhearted, walking tree who has uncanny, well, tree powers. They're out for the bounty that has been put on Quill's head by his double-crossed mentor Yondu (Michael Rooker), and when all four create chaos in the center of an idyllic city on the planet of Nova Prime, they end up in jail where they meet Drax (Dave Bautista), a fierce, literal-minded warrior who is out to avenge the death of his wife and child who died at the hands of, you guessed it, Ronan.
These five realize they have a common interest — namely saving the universe and taking out Ronan — and embark on a mad mission to do just that. At its core, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a big, sprawling action movie, and just when it threatens to spin wildly out of control, director James Gunn effectively reins things in with a dose of humor or humanity, which is the key to its success. On paper, it all sounds patently ridiculous, and it is. But there's a sense of unbridled fun and enthusiasm at play here that's been absent from the screen since "The Avengers," and it's no exaggeration to call this the "Star Wars" of the 21st century, it's that much fun.
To be sure, "Guardians" contains the sort of special-effects-saturated action scenes that are part and parcel of films of this sort, yet they are done exceedingly well as Gunn keeps these sequences fluid, easy to follow and exciting.
However, what makes the movie work are the characters, each of them likable, well-drawn and sympathetic, the antagonistic chemistry between them generating one belly laugh after another while each of their tragic backgrounds makes them easy to sympathize with. Across the board, the cast have their tongues firmly planted in cheek, playing up the irreverent tone Gunn fosters throughout.
Though Ronan is rather opaque and the movie threatens to overstay its welcome, there's no question that "Guardians" is a remarkably fun time, and the wait to see this gang share the screen with the Avengers will be for too long.
Seeing what the Hulk might make of Groot is a moment that can't get here soon enough.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' ★★★1/2 (out of 4) Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, David Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin. Directed by James Gunn; produced by Kevin Feige; screenplay by Nicole Perlman and Gunn. A Marvel Studios release. 120 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action and some language). At AMC Village Mall 6, Carmike 13, Harvest Moon Drive-in and Savoy 16 IMAX.
"Hercules" a compelling new look at weathered demigod. (★★★½)
Color me surprised in regard to Brett Ratner's "Hercules," an unexpectedly thrilling, smart and at times moving new take on everyone's favorite demigod.
It goes without saying that they got off on the right foot by casting Dwayne Johnson in the title role, but what's most surprising is the intelligence found in the adaptation of Steve Moore's Radical Comics mini-series by Ryan Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos. Far more than just a sword-and-sandal saga, the film casts its hero not as the son of Zeus, but rather as a mortal whose feats of derring-do have been so exaggerated that the only explanation for these exploits is that Hercules must be part deity to accomplish them, a reputation he struggles to uphold.
After a brief recap of Hercules' 12 labors, which regrettably did not include the sight of the he-man cleaning the Augean stables, Ratner quickly introduces us to the main players and drops us into the middle of the action. Seems that Hercules took to wandering after doing his penance and along the way, assembled about him a band of orphans and misfits. They include Amphiaraus (Ian McShane), a warrior prophet who provides comic relief when predictions of his own demise prove wrong; Autolycus (Rufus Sewell), a loyal friend handy with flying daggers whose interest in money outweighs all; Tydeus (Aksel Hennie), a mute warrior found as an infant whose loyalty to Hercules is unwavering; Atalanta (Ingrid Bolso Berdal) the fierce archer of Greek myth; and Iolaus (Reece Ritchie), a master storyteller who is most responsible for spreading the word concerning his uncle Hercules' feats and blowing them out of proportion as well.
Together, these six are a formidable group whose services are available to the highest bidder, and they are commissioned by Lord Cotys (John Hurt) who is having a problem with rogue invaders led by the sorcerer Rhesus (Tobias Santelmann). He has ravaged the good king's kingdom, leaving him an army of inexperienced farmers to protect the realm. Seems this despot is about to deliver the killing blow, so Hercules and his crew are hired to protect the kingdom as well as train what's left of the army in the fine art of killing.
The premise is taken directly from Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai," and because it's so familiar, Ratner wastes little time setting it up or dispensing with the requisite training scenes, all of which is done with economy and humor. The director has never been given his due, primarily because most of his films are seen as throwaway vehicles. However, most of what he has done has been highly entertaining ("Rush Hour," "Tower Heist") and occasionally moving ("The Family Man"), qualities evident here that help elevate this among the usual action fare.
While the plot holds little in the way of surprises, the formidable cast give it their all, at times attacking it as if it were a piece of Shakespearean court intrigue. Johnson holds his own, especially when called upon to display the grief and guilt his character feels over the death of his family, while McShane and Sewell are of particular note, knowing just when to nudge a joke for a laugh or pull back to tug at our hearts.
Imaginative battle sequences, a good plot twist and a dynamic conclusion deliver more than enough thrills to satisfy even the most jaded action fan. However, it's the way the themes of loyalty, honor and heroism are played out that make "Hercules" more than a simple summer timewaster.
These lessons are rendered in the most sincere manner and lend a gravity to the film that suits it well, as this tale of a man who realizes heroic deeds can be godlike in nature will only nurture the legend of Hercules all the more.

The game was long over, but many of the teary-eyed Jets fans who filled the Winnipeg Arena refused to leave.
The sight of them -- wearing their white shirts and jerseys, clinging to their signs and each other as the players waved farewell before disappearing under the tunnel to the dressing room -- is what I remember most about covering the last Jets game on April 28, 1996 for the Winnipeg Sun.
It was a sombre feeling in the press box as well. I had only been with the Sun for several months, but had already come to know a lot of other media and arena staff. We looked around at each other realizing that -- unless we left Winnipeg as well -- this was the last time we'd be covering the NHL.
After all, the so-called experts had repeatedly scoffed at the notion the NHL would ever come back to Winnipeg.
"Stop dreaming and get over it," they would insist. "The NHL will never return to a small market like Winnipeg. The game at the NHL level has outgrown cities like ours."
There would be no more coming to the rink in the morning for practice, pressing coaches and players for something better than "we've got to come together as a team," before eventually giving up and going to the likes of Dave Manson and Kris King for something with a little colour.
As one of the three reporters covering the Jets for the Sun that last game, it was my job to head to the Red Wings dressing room for post-game comments after they'd dispatched the Jets 4-1 in Game 6 of the first round.
I went straight for Scotty Bowman. I can still see his face as he sat back when asked about being part of hockey history in Winnipeg.
The most successful coach in NHL history had an engaging grin, possibly because he was relieved his heavily favoured Wings had put away the stubborn Jets, as he talked of how he'd come to the Arena in days of the WHA. At that time, Bowman was in the midst of coaching the NHL's most feared franchise in Montreal, but he spoke of great admiration for the Jets and revealed he'd once hoped to lure away defenceman Lars Erik Sjoberg.
I'm not exaggerating when I say it was an honour to be able to cover the NHL in the city I grew up in, as brief as it was. Like most hockey-crazed kids in Winnipeg, we knew the members of the media as well as we knew the players. So forgive me if I was little star struck the first time I was in the press box and renowned hockey writer Al Strachan walked by.
I remembered thinking during that last game in April 1996 about what a huge influence the Jets, both in the WHA and NHL, meant to me growing up. I was a new dad at the time and I felt terrible that kids in Winnipeg wouldn't be able to share the same experience.
I mean Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg -- two thirds of what we believed was the greatest line in hockey -- once came to a pancake breakfast at my home community club in Bronx Park. And Bobby Hull, yes the Golden Jet, would show up at the odd game when I'd play against his son Brett.
We all played a little better when Bobby was in the stands -- not that he ever saw us because he'd be busy signing an autograph for every kid in the rink.
Thank goodness that despite being told it would never happen again in River City, the dreamers never stopped dreaming and the NHL is coming back to Winnipeg, where new heroes will be born for our next generation of fans.

Winthrop Hiram Smith (June 30, 1893 – January 10, 1961), also known as Win Smith, was an American businessman and investment banker. He was notable as a name partner of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith.
He was born on June 30, 1893 in South Hadley, Massachusetts. He was educated at Phillips Academy and graduated from Amherst College in 1916.[1]
Upon graduation from Amherst, Smith joined Merrill Lynch & Co. in 1916, just two years after the firm's predecessor Charles E. Merrill & Co. was founded.[2] Smith, who began as a junior runner and clerk at Merrill, was groomed by founder Charles E. Merrill, who also was an Amherst alumnus.[1]
Smith's career would span more than four decades as he would ultimately serve as directing partner of the firm. In 1940 and 1941, Smith was an architect of Merill's transformative mergers including E.A. Pierce & Co. and Cassatt & Co. in 1940 followed by the acquisition of Fenner & Beane in 1941.[1] Smith is often credited with having implemented Charles E. Merrill's strategy of bringing Wall Street to Main Street and received both respect and affection from his colleagues in the industry and at his firm.[3]
In 1958, Smith handed over day-to-day control of the firm, at the time known as Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Beane. In recognition of his role in building Merrill into a leading national brokerage, Smith's name was added to that of the firm becoming Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith.[1] Smith's name replaced that of Alpheus Beane's who firm Fenner & Beane had merged with Merrill in 1941.
Smith is the father of Winthrop H. Smith Jr. a former Merrill Lynch executive.
He died on January 10, 1961 in Litchfield, Connecticut.[4]

Gibraltar Government Backs Boat Show 'Experience Zone'
Kicking off on Thursday 8 April, this year's Gibraltar International Boat Show intends to leave the previous in the shade with the help of a Government-backed 'Experience Zone'. Lying adjacent to the Ocean Village and Marina Bay complex, this
February 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Kicking off on Thursday 8 April, this year's Gibraltar International Boat Show intends to leave the previous in the shade with the help of a Government-backed 'Experience Zone'. Lying adjacent to the Ocean Village and Marina Bay complex, this sizeable Arena will give everyone a chance to try their hand at a range of both water- and land-based pursuits.
John Wood, Boat Show Organiser, comments, "Whilst the very nature of the event guarantees that the spotlight undoubtedly falls on the attendant yachts, we're also mindful that every visitor - old and young - wants to participate in the Show. Sports enthusiasts are in for a real treat at the Experience Zone as we have a full spectrum of activities from a climbing wall to a golf showcase, tennis lessons to rowing machines and from sailing boats to kayaks. We're thrilled that the Government is backing this Zone and together we are committed to making the 2010 Show truly memorable."
Turning attention back to the business of boats, Sunseeker has once again made a strong commitment to the Show. Their Costa del Sol dealership, headed up by Dominic Byrne, will be exhibiting nine yachts ranging from 34 to a sizeable 90 feet. With several other manufacturers signed-up, the Gibraltar International Boat Show is set to have over 20 million euros-worth of ready-to-buy boats - the perfect opportunity for visitors to start the Mediterranean season afloat.

DETROIT (WWJ) – The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service has announced that it is considering closing most of its mail processing centers across the country, including six in Michigan.
Detroit's Fort Street center is on the cut list.
WWJ Newsradio 950 spoke with American Postal Workers Union Detroit Area President Christopher Ulmer, who said the closure would be bad news for Detroit.
"That shuts down probably, I'm gonna say 2,000 jobs in the city of Detroit, 2,000 well-paying jobs in the city of Detroit," said Ulmer. "It affects all that commerce down in that area. It will be a devastating blow to the city," he said.
Ulmer said some workers at the Fort Street Post Office will retire and others may transfer to other centers.
Without these processing centers, Ulmer said the USPS will no longer be able to offer first-class, next day delivery.
"They want the right to let it take three days to get there, which we think destroys the service," he said. "It's a race to the bottom, not a race to the top. We should be improving service and increasing our efficiency."
The other processing centers in Michigan on the list for possible closure are in Lansing, Kalamazoo, Jackson, Saginaw and Iron Mountain.
The postal service has been forced to downsize because of a drastic decline in customers. Saturday serivice may also be eliminated.


text: Ethics and disability research in Southern contexts: unexplored terrain, unresolved tensions LocationFaculty of Education, University of CambridgeCategoryResearch, Social Sciences, Students DatesFriday 3rd May 2013 (09:30-16:30) Download the date to your calendar (.ics file) ContactDr Paul Lynch Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Dr Nidhi Singal Email: email@example.com This is a free event but there are limited places so registration is essential This seminar is part of a series of activities under a joint BAICE thematic forum with the University of Cambridge and University of Birmingham Disability is an increasingly vital contemporary issue in international development and particularly so in the area of education. Primarily anchored in a human rights approach and human capital theory, significant efforts have been made to increase the enrolment and participation of children and young people with disabilities in a range of different educational systems. However, over the last few years there has been a growing critique of these approaches, wherein notions of social justice, difference and educational quality have become more nuanced, and have also shaped the nature and quality of educational provision for those with disabilities. All these developments have raised some interesting issues for policy, research and practice. Our aim in this seminar is to critically examine ethical issues underpinning disability research in Southern contexts and explore emerging discourses. Some of the questions which will be discussed are: What are the particular ethical issues specific to disability research in the South? What ethical issues underpin the construction of knowledge in this field? What counts as 'giving back'? What is the role of non-disabled Northern based researchers? What is the role of funded projects where North-South hierarchies may influence research? Invited speakers: Professor Nora Groce, University College London, Dr Shaun Grech, Manchester Metropolitan University and Dr Guy Le Fanu, Sightsavers We would very much welcome poster submissions for the event.

Slovenia qualified for only their second World Cup on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over nine-man Russia in their European zone, second-leg play-off tie.
Striker Zlatko Dedic, who plays his club football for Bochum in Germany, scored the only goal just before the break.
He was fastest to the ball when Valter Birsa crossed from the right with Russia's defenders caught cold.
Russia had won the first leg 2-1 in Moscow on Saturday, but Slovenia's win on Wednesday meant they qualified on the away goals rule.
Everton midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov had scored twice in the first match before Nejc Pecnik's goal two minutes from time gave Slovenia hope for Wednesday's return leg.
After conceding Dedic's goal here, Guus Hiddink's Russian side suffered another setback when substitute striker Alexander Kerzhakov was red-carded for a foul on goalkeeper Samir Handanovic in the 66th minute.
Kerzhakov had only come at the interval to replace the ineffective Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko.
Russia shrugged off the red-card to dominate possession in the closing stages with Arsenal star Andrei Arshavin starting to impose himself on the tie.
Arshavin set up substitute Pavel Pogrebnyak, whose header was well-saved by Handanovic.
Yuri Zhirkov then had a fierce drive saved by Handanovic before Dedic wasted a great chance to finish the game at the other end when he blasted over the top with five minutes left.
Slovenia held firm to reach their first World Cup finals since their 2002 debut.
Slovenian coach Matjaz Kek started the game with the same team from Moscow while Hiddink started with one change, bringing in Semak Janbayev as both sides played a 4-4-2 formation.
In the forth minute, Milivoje Novakovic was one-on-one with Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeyev before the danger was cleared before Andraz Kirm hit the post.
Russia's opportunities were rare in the opening period and their miserable night got even worse in injury time when Zhirkov was sent-off.

Britain's Robby Swift (JP / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) and Brazil's Levi Lenz are two of the many pro's currently out in Pozo training ahead of the PWA Wave contest. During a couple of windless days last week the boys prepared a very different perspective on the infamous double forward.
This isn't your usual technique overview though, as Swift and Lenz decided to think outside the box and get creative. Swift leads the vocals as he takes you on his double forward journey, accompanied by Lenz on guitar. The video features plenty of crazy rotations and big crashes as the Brit relentlessly throws himself around the front in pursuit of the perfect double forward loop.

text: While I am waiting for LAWNSITE to set up my button I thought I would further introduce myself. I have been licensed to do irrigation in Texas since 1979. I gave up installation 10 years into my business because service and repairs was not only more profitable it fit my business personality better. I purchased my first remote at least 15 years ago to help me keep up with the workload. Many of you may remember that big clunky RAINMASTER that you had to recharge. Cost, if I remember right, over 2000 dollars. For many years we hooked up a pigtail and then took it off because of the pigtail cost. Three years ago I found someone to manufacturer them for us at a very reasonable price. This allows us to hook up a pigtail and leave it for the next service call. I cannot tell you how much it impresses customers to be able to walk through the job with me and it allows me to show problems and sell additional work. I have been selling these for two years through ads in LANDSCAPE and IRRIGATION as well as TURF. I have not had a single one returned. My web site is www.remotepigtails.com. I hope to also be a good provider of info in regards to remote hookups and other questions.

In the Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami
Murakami plays with space and culture, shedding light on the lack of personal space by drawing the reader into the claustrophobic world of the story's narrator, Kenji, then mimicking the desire to get away from the pervasive presence of a horrific American sociopath named Frank.

While Japan offers the global culture a number of stylish and critically celebrated creatives -- from animators to artists to architects -- in the world of authors there's little doubt that the name Murakami has in recent years developed its own cache. Whether it is the coolly poetic fantasia of Haruki Murakami, or the sharp, disturbing character studies of Ryu Murakami, both have developed an international reputation for being among the best in contemporary Japanese fiction.
Despite some clear stylistic differences, there are certainly some parallels between the two. Both are award-winning writers in their home country, with sizable bodies of work published in Japan that have been reaching foreign eyes more frequently in the last decade or so. Both contain trace elements of the quasi-futuristic postmodernism often attributed to Japanese urban life, and both invest some portion of their explorations to puzzling out just what this means for Japanese culture. In their hands, the Japanese experience seems to revolve around a perpetual anxiety about identity.
But there are undeniable differences between the two writers, and to give them a combined identity to wear under the banner of shared name does a disservice to both. While Haruki Murakami, author of such revered work as The Wind Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore, is regarded as the more "literary" of the pair, placing him on equal footing with the best of contemporary fiction around the world, Ryu Murakami's more lurid, graphic work, including Almost Transparent Blue, Coin Locker Babies, and 69, has placed him in the company of Bret Easton Ellis and Chuck Palahniuk. Whether one camp is more vital than the other is an open debate, but both certainly have their own visions of modern life to share, and if Ryu Murakami is the more carnivalesque fun-house mirror to hold up to contemporary Japanese (and global) culture, then nothing about In the Miso Soup is going to change that perception.
This is, after all, the same man who first came to international attention as the writer and director of Tokyo Decadence, a film that explored in unflinching, unglamorized detail the demoralizing world of prostitution in Tokyo's underground S&M scene. Murakami was well regarded for his bravado in dealing with the subject matter so bluntly, and that reputation won him a new international interest in his much more prolific literary career, where fans were not disappointed to find the same vivid, often perverse close-up zoom on social aberrations as a regular feature. Having won a prestigious national award for his first book, Almost Transparent Blue, Murakami gained the position to write a series of novels that in various shades detailed Japanese life on the fringes, at times affectionately, and at others savagely.
In the Miso Soup carries on Ryu Murakami's tradition in one of its most immediate and affecting examples. Murakami plays with space and culture, shedding light on the lack of personal space by drawing the reader into the claustrophobic world of the story's narrator, Kenji, then mimicking the desire to get away from the pervasive presence of a horrific American sociopath named Frank. We walk into the Tokyo of the sex-trade in the commercial red light district of Kabuki-cho as Kenji the "nightlife guide" informs us that the events that will unfold happened in the past -- deflating the potential ramifications of what's to come by letting us know from the start that, no matter what, Kenji will survive. That comfort quickly proves to be small, for as Kenji introduces us to Frank, it becomes clear that survival comes with consequences, and what they may be for Kenji, we can only guess, adding to the tension rather than subtracting from it.
As Kenji is first meeting Frank two nights before the New Year's celebration, Tokyo police are puzzling over a brutal, torturous murder of a teen girl who is also a known prostitute. Her body turns up dismembered and mutilated, dumped in two different trash bags on the outskirts of the Kabuki-cho district. The newspaper report of the murder is fresh on Kenji's mind as he goes out to meet Frank for the first time, and so he is convinced that the strange and lie-riddled night in Frank's company has made him paranoid when he begins to suspect that his new client is the killer. But as the evidence mounts, and as Kenji's life keeps pulling itself into tighter and tighter orbits around Frank, paranoia gives way to real fear, and a sense that Kenji is now locked into something beyond his control.
In Frank, Murakami has created a character that is both mindless and calculated, a creature who lives on the fringes of society and preys upon it, yet who finds a certain purpose in his own existence that he often finds missing in his victims. While many reviewers have seen Frank as a less cultivated Hannibal Lecter, he perhaps shares equally as much in common with Will Self's Fat Controller from My Idea of Fun. Psychosis is the driving force behind Frank's day to day existence, but he also looms over the book (and Japan) as a rather obvious symbol of America itself, something that Murakami revisits through Kenji repeatedly over the course of In the Miso Soup.
This aspect of Frank is certainly the heart of the tale, and not the ultraviolence that is Frank's mission. Murakami only takes the audience directly into one scene of violence in the story, describing in surreal, morbidly clear detail a moment where Frank unleashes himself onto a small club, but it's enough to impact everything else in the book, letting the sinister atmosphere carry the rest of the story. But this is still Kenji's tale, not Frank's, and though Frank is the catalyst, Murakami uses the gravitational pull on Kenji to explore much deeper issues of personal identity, questioning the idea of Japanese national character, Japan's relationship to America (rather acidly summed up in a brief passage centering on Niketown), and the psychological implications of the emptiness that Murakami reveals beneath the surface of Japanese life. While the intricacies and formalities of the sex industry in Japan serve to highlight these themes, sex itself is less a feature of this story than its seedy commodified setting.
Unlike Coin Locker Babies, which some critics found too sprawling and gratuitous for its own good, In the Miso Soup is a narrow, focused look into one slice of life, and Murakami confines himself to the framework in which the characters live. This singularity makes Kenji a compelling, believable narrator, as well as allowing Murakami to hammer home the confined spaces of the story, and it makes for a quick, frantic read. And unlike the coming-of-age tales that also feature prominently in Murakami's work, the contemporary setting of In the Miso Soup gives the story a sense of immediacy, making Frank a very real, very possible character, no matter how improbable his existence may seem. Ultimately, this all adds up to a slender, razor sharp book that trades on graphic creepiness to make you think about society and our place in the world through demented, but forcibly objective eyes. That Murakami succeeds in taking that reader on such a journey even in translation, even when primarily dissecting a Japan that is only truly known to its natives, is a testament to Murakami as a storyteller.
For all that, there's still the lingering question of whether such postmodern horror stories are of equal value to a more complex and nuanced literary tradition. Ryu Murakami seems like both a product of and a critical inside-man in a Japanese culture that is rich in sexual fetish, neon decay, and a demented horror industry. The movie adaptation of his Ôdishon makes even Ringu and Ju-On seem mild for their supernatural tropes. But rather than celebrate manga-like violence or horror for its own sake, Murakami uses those tropes to ask larger questions, and does so with an awareness of the reader as complicit in the questioning. At one point, Kenji even alludes to Stockholm syndrome in his relationship to Frank, and it's as if Murakami is nodding to the reader in acknowledgment that we are also sharing the terror and sympathy of that closed space. Yet because of his subject matter, Ryu Murakami will probably never quite reap the reputational rewards that Haruki has in international markets. Like Cronenberg movies and Clive Barker prints, psychological horror fiction has a market, but it's a niche one for the most part.
But with the favorable reviews for In the Miso Soup comes an increased chance for Ryu Murakami's work to circulate outside of Japan. One of the more amazing aspects of this book is that Murakami's critical eye and the intertwined relationships of Japan and the United States gives the tone of the book something like that of an outside observer, if not a tourist, to some degree. With some 30 novels to his name at home, and a sensitive and careful translator in Ralph McCarthy, there is still plenty of material to find its way into English. Perhaps then the closed system of culture and society so eerily on display in In the Miso Soup will find greater exposure in the global community, risking the intrusion of the world's Franks at the same time.

Pipe Installation To Close Thru Traffic On Third Street Beginning April 14April 10, 2003
Thru traffic on Third Street will be closed beginning Monday, April 14, for approximately seven weeks as crews install a chilled water/steam pipe from the Baylor Sciences Building to the Baylor Energy Complex.
During the first phase of the project, expected to last about five weeks, Third Street will be closed between Speight Avenue and the Goebel Building. The north entrance to the parking lot by the Sid Richardson Science Building and the street behind Goebel will remain open during the first phase.
During the second phase, expected to last two weeks, Third Street will be closed between Moody Library and the Goebel Building. The south entrance to the Sid Richardson parking lot will be open. However, the street behind Goebel will be closed during the second phase.
Thru traffic will not be permitted through the Sid Richardson parking lot during either phase.
The installation of the chilled water/steam pipe was planned for this month. Once the line is in and has been fully tested, all parking surfaces will be repaved. The 500,000-square-foot Baylor Sciences Building, the largest construction project in the university's history, is right on schedule with completion expected in time for the fall 2004 semester.
Directional signs will be in place by next week. Officers from the Baylor department of public safety will be on duty April 14 to assist with any traffic problems.

It's comforting to know that a mainstream application we're purchasing is accessible; however, it's more outstanding to know that the developer of such an application is just an email away, ready to listen to our concerns and make the necessary modifications. The other day I was using ooTunes Radio and noticed that the Back button in various windows cannot be pressed using the two-finger Scrub gesture. Not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it. In addition, I couldn't find the fantastic NPR Worldwide station which is for non-US listeners. For your information, it's and FM channel in Berlin which broadcasts the NPR Worldwide stream and is the only channel whose schedule exactly mirrors that of NPR's flagship and live programs. It's also without local or state-oriented segments interspersed among the main content.
Anyway, I emailed the developer, Steven Woolley, and mentioned both issues. Much to my surprise, he promptly replied and told me that he's aware of the Back button issue though fixing it might be complicated.
What's, however, more interesting is that he managed to add NPR Worldwide to the list of available stations though he lives in the USA and can't himself tune into the channel. It took him 2 efforts in 24 hours to make ooTunes Radio the only application to provide access to this great channel on a mobile platform -- even NPR's own application hasn't done that for international listeners.
So, once more, kudos to Steve for having made such a popular mainstream application accessible! Such developers make a tangible difference in the way the visually impaired can interact with their iDevices.

I love OOTunes!
Submitted by Melissa Roe on
I love OoTunes so much. This is the only radio app I will ever buy besides pandora. People might say, why not give other apps a try, but honestly why should I clutter my apple device with 10 apps that do the same thing! OoTunes has everything I need! Not only am I able to search for stations with ease, I can listen with no trouble as well as share what I'm playing. On mornings when I need to get up earlier than usual, that built-in alarm clock tuned to new age sky.fm wakes me up and makes my life so much more convinient. Not only that, but it records the streams I listen to. Why have another app that just does one or two of the things this app does when you have it all right here! I'm glad the developer is willing to help out. It makes using this app so much easier to know that you have the comfort of knowing when something doesn't work, some one is caring enough to help you fix the problem or come up with alternative solutions.
I agree, OOTunes is the best radio app on the market. No sense in having 10 different radio apps... I have only 3, OoTunes, Pandora, and IBlink radio for the podcast content. That's all I need.
Once again, I love OOTunes and the devs are commendable for making it a program easy to use for the blind on their Apple devices.
ooTunes is the BEST
Submitted by Ray on
Have to say I enjoyed the post and the reply by Melissa. I agree completely with the author. Steven has always responded almost instantaneously to emails and fixes anything he can once alerted.... not that much goes wrong at all. I bought ooTunes a couple of years ago when I first got my iPhone and it is the only one I use.
If you have suggestions for streams or want to have access to something, as the author says, Steven will make it happen.
ooTunes is the BEST.
Submitted by Piotr Machacz on
Now, hopefully I'm not going to start a war by saying that I don't get why so many people prefer Tune in radio... That out of the way I really like the app. Used to think the UI was a little cluttered, but it's gotten a lot better now, probably because I got used to it.
ooTunes Radio and TuneIn Radio Pro
Submitted by Amir on
Well, having seen both apps in action, I too prefer ooTunes Radio to TuneIn Radio Pro. It has more stations and, in case one cares, is half the size of TuneIn Radio Pro -- 7MB as opposed to 14MB. However, ooTunes Radio is more expensive $4.99 vs $0.99, and that might explain why some users prefer it. But, to me at least, the higher price means a noticeably better application with better tech support. Perhaps one day I'll review both apps as a podcast once my internet situation improves.

Can anyone tell me what this SHOULD be? The alignment shop seems to have it wrong. I'd like to take the correct specs in with me when I take it to have it fixed. Stacey

'Never allow yourself to be a victim': Robin Williams daughter returns to Twitter
ROBIN WILLIAMS' daughter has rejoined social media weeks after she was forced to quit by sick trolls mocking her father's death.
Zelda Williams took to Twitter to post an inspirational message about standing up to bullies.
"Never be bullied into silence, never allow yourself to be made a victim," she wrote.
"Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."
"Never be bullied into silence, never allow yourself to be made a victim"Zelda Williams' message
The 25-year-old chose to take a break from social media after receiving abuse following her father's suicide last month.
Users posted cruel messages and pictures of the Good Morning Vietnam star as well as claiming they had pictures of his body.
In a tweet sent two days after the tragic news broke, she wrote: "I'm sorry. I should've risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye."
Following her return to social media, Ms Williams received messages of support from her followers.
Robert McLaws said: "Thank you for coming back. Please don't let the indecent people darken the light your father brought to all of us."
ChiTownSports said: "Zelda I'm so sorry for what you've had to deal with. Hope you're ok."
Natalie Bussjaeger added: "YES MA'AM! I want you repeating that to yourself every single day."
Those responsible for targeting the actress were suspended by Twitter following the abuse.
Speaking after her father was found dead at 63, Zelda released a statement.
She said: "To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favourite things in the world was to make you all laugh.
"As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you've had it washed."

Trying to log into the PlayStation Network right now? Good luck. Odds are, you'll be trapped in the offline abyss. Yes, there is an unexpected outage affecting most customers. Some people are reporting they can get online and use services as normal, but the general consensus is, the PlayStation Network is down.
The PlayStation Network went down not long ago. It's been less than an hour for people, so before 6pm CST on March 15, 2013, you were probably able to go about your daily business. However, it is for the most part out.
The good news is, Sony is aware of the issue. The official PSN Status page lists the PlayStation Network as offline. An announcement has also been made via the official PlayStation Twitter account. That means people are likely already at work remedying the issue.
In the meantime, all we can do is wait. It'll be tragic if the PlayStation Network is down all weekend. I mean, with God of War: Ascension debuting this week, I'm sure a lot of people were planning to use Saturday and Sunday to get into the multiplayer. Still, this has only just happened and it's best not to jump to conclusions. Sony knows something is wrong. We have to just let the technicians do their work and fix things.
If you want a resource to check during this trying time, I recommend Is the PSN down? It's a website where people can report their findings and is usually pretty accurate when it comes to determining if the service is offline or online. Also, bookmark the official PSN Status page I shared earlier. Following @PlayStation on Twitter is a big help. Just relax for a few hours. Enjoy offline play. Only start panicking if the PlayStation Network isn't back online by midnight.

Anyone who got caught in Hawthorne High's football victory celebration could have gotten sucked in like a riptide.
Players jumped and hollered furiously near midfield. Jerseys and pads came undone in the scrum.
Hawthorne badly needed a win against rival Leuzinger and played like it in a 44-8 victory Friday night to take back the Mayor's Cup on Leuzinger's homecoming.
"We wanted to get it (the Cup) back," Hawthorne running back Paris McDaniel said. "This is probably the biggest win we're ever going to have (this) season.
"We needed it so much, especially going into league playing Culver City at home.It's going to be big motivation for us and it will get our confidence up."
McDaniel ran for 144 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries to spark Hawthorne.
The Cougars (2-3) scored 20 points off turnovers during a 34-point second quarter and pitched a second-half shutout.
McDaniel's most impressive runs came in the second half. The first was a 14-yard touchdown run when he cut back to the right side. His next score was on a 37-yard run in which he cut back left and juked a defender.
Hawthorne also got a 7-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Issai Rivera and an 80-yard kickoff return by Eddie Thomas.
Quarterback Patrick Washington completed 7 of 11 passes for 80 yards with a touchdown, with one interception.
Hawthorne coach Donald Paysinger was most pleased by the points off turnovers.
"That's what we worked on," Paysinger said.
Leuzinger got a 4-yard touchdown pass from Edson Santos to Nathaniel Vaughn in the second quarter.
Vaughn ran for 64 yards on 12 carries and saw time at quarterback as Leuzinger coach Ronald Jenkins said Vaughn will likely play that position the rest of the way.
The Olympians (0-5) have not won since they beat Hawthorne last season, and Jenkins is trying to keep their spirits up going into league play.
Jenkins lost two more players, as Markell Allen and Alberto Perez left the game with concussions.
"It's tough for them and tough for everybody involved," Jenkins said. "We just try to keep them up and keep the positive and keep moving forward."
Santos went 6-for-15 for 47 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, both by Jahleel Enriquez.

My mom seems to think that both my toaster oven and microwave should be replaced!
I found out how to check my microwave for leaks: http://www.wikihow.com/Check-a-Microwave-for-Leaks
But I can't find anything on a toaster oven. Mine is a Hamilton Beech, and I have had it for at least 5 years. I use it about 4 times a week, and there are no problems with temperature,etc. I keep it clean.
What are the signs that it's time to replace it?

Moyers Exits PBS With Attack on 'Right-Wing Media'
Taxpayer-supported Democrat operative Bill Moyers is showing his true colors (all blue) by tainting his exit from PBS with an attack on what he describes as "right-wing media."
"I'm going out telling the story that I think is the biggest story of our time: how the right-wing media has [sic] become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee," the Associated Press today quoted Moyers as saying.
"We have an ideological press that's interested in the election of Republicans, and a mainstream press that's interested in the bottom line. Therefore, we don't have a vigilant, independent press whose interest is the American people," claimed Moyers, who next week is leaving his weekly series, "Now."
Moyers failed to mention that, unlike himself, the few conservative media that do exist aren't on the American taxpayers' dole.
He also failed to mention that for decades the left-wing media establishment, ranging from PBS and NPR to the New York Times and the CBS of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather, has been and continues to be a partisan propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee.
Perhaps the wire story is satire, but it describes the extraordinarily biased Moyers as "a citizen-journalist" who was on "a truth-telling mission during his three decades as a TV journalist."
The story does admit that "humanist" Moyers used to be a top aide to the very liberal President Lyndon Johnson.
Moyers' liberal rants have been increasing in recent years, perhaps owing to the increasing success of the Republican Party, which now controls the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court and a majority of state legislatures and governorships.
This past Election Night, Moyers even went so far as to suggest that if Kerry won the election, the right wing might stage a coup to keep him from taking power.
Wonder what moyers thinks of fraud stories like the blather piece that got him fired...I would like to ask Moyers if he thinks Viacom/CBS/Schiester & Scheister/60 Minutes is " the left-wing media that has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee"
on another note- like him or not (and I'm not a fan):
ABC Locks Up Hannity
Top talker Sean Hannity has the best of both worlds - his ABC Radio network talk show is No. 2 in the nation and he has the most-watched TV debate show on cable news, Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."
The New York Daily News reported Thursday that ABC, fearing that Hannity would be lured away to Fox's growing radio network, has "quietly" signed the conservative talker to a reported five-year, $25 million deal.
"ABC inked the Hannity contract several months ago but has kept the deal hush-hush," the News said. "ABC faces a big threat from Fox News, which is capitalizing on its cable TV dominance to expand on the radio."
Fox scored a victory earlier this week, striking an agreement to feed its news broadcasts to 172 Clear Channel outlets, most of which are ABC stations.
ABC execs note, however, that even if all those stations drop ABC, the network will still have more than 2,300 news affiliates.
Meanwhile, Hannity sits in the catbird seat, telling the News that he's "very happy with ABC and with the Fox News Channel."
how'd you like to get paid $5-mil a year talking politics for 3-hours a day???
What a shame...Moyers will actaully have to get a job where the government doesn't employ his whole family without a care about the marketplace. This from a amn who worked for Lyndon Johnson, who's greed and depravity makes Clinton look quaint, and ran the military into the ground in Vietnam . Without question, Moyers worked for this pig of a man without a peep. And this guy has the balls to
say word 1 about Bush or anyone?

Freed hiker releases song
SAN FRANCISCO — Sarah Shourd, the American woman freed after more than a year in an Iranian prison, yesterday released a song she hopes will build support for the release of her fiance and friend who remain jailed in that country.
A music video of Shourd's "Piece of Time'' was posted on the online site YouTube.com and the song made available for download on the shopping site Amazon.com.
In a telephone interview, Shourd said that the song was one of many she composed while in solitary confinement at Evin Prison in Tehran. She would sing the songs to her fiance, Shane Bauer, and friend Josh Fattal when they were allowed to see each other in the prison courtyard.
"The reason I'm doing the song is for Shane and Josh and to help people understand what they are going through and what I went through,'' Shourd said. "I started writing songs the first day that I was thrown into a cell alone. It was really one of the things that kept me sane.''
The song was released to coincide with the start of the 17th month of imprisonment for Bauer and Fattal, who are graduates of the University of California, Berkeley.
The song describes Shourd's arrest and imprisonment in Iran, beginning, "We walked across hard land/ Into a human trap/ They took us for one long ride/ You're now in Iran, Iran.''
Money raised from sales of the song will be used to pay for legal, translation, and travel expenses related to efforts to win the Americans' freedom.
Shourd was released on humanitarian grounds in January, more than 13 months after the three Americans were arrested while hiking near the border of Iran and Iraq and accused of spying.
The Americans and US government say the three are innocent.
Shourd said she spoke to Fattal briefly over the Thanksgiving weekend when she was at his mother's house and worries about their continuing isolation. He told her he is still singing her songs, she said.
Shourd is from Oakland. Bauer is a native of Onamia, Minn., and Fattal grew up in Pennsylvania.
Shourd said she has not had formal musical training but has always loved to sing.
"In prison, it became a lifeline for me,'' she said. "My greatest hope is that Shane and Josh can be in my next video.''

If you can learn from anywhere, learn from WestJet
November 5, 2012 by Robert Koci
When you are keen to learn, you can learn from just about anyone anywhere. Well, take a lesson from WestJet on building employee loyalty. The company has shown dramatic growth over its short life and on of the reasons is its passion for making it a place where people want to work. The company made this video recently to highlight its commitment to its employees and also to allow its employees to show their commitment to the company.
Every player in the video is an employee of WestJet, and the video was the child of the WestJet team.
Rob Koci is the publisher of Canadian Contractor magazine. email@example.com Tel. 647-407-0754
I had the fortunate experience to build a resort home for one the now retired original owners of Westjet.
He was instrumental in developing the Westjet " culture " and my company benefited in many ways from that experience. Building Resort homes I quickly realized that I was in the service industry much more that I was in the building industry. I had many one on one conversations with the my client and I was able to the clearly define direction our company was taking.
One of most important lessons was to " Treat my employees like my best customers" ( A Westjet Motto ) . It was very important that I had my employees represent me on the jobsites as well as at the resort. Creating an positive build experience for my clients was very important.
My company already had a good culture but this experience defined what that culture was.

Amid the disappointing data about dealmaking in 2012, cross-border M&A provides a ray of hope. The amount of money invested in M&A transactions in emerging markets grew five percent to $162.4 billion, according to a recent report by international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer (although deal volume was down 12 percent).
We'll be exploring emerging marketing and other opportunities in cross-border M&A on Feb. 27, when Mergers & Acquisitions and Bank of America Merrill Lynch will host a symposium on "International Transformation: Unlocking Value and Executing Abroad." The event will be held at the Standard Club in Chicago.
Mergers & Acquisitions editor-in-chief Mary Kathleen Flynn will be there, moderating a panel on "Global Market Entry Strategies," featuring, among others, the Jordan Co.'s Andrew Rice. The Jordan Co. was one of the first U.S. private equity firms to expand abroad. The firm has experience in establishing and acquiring operations in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, with particular expertise in China, where the firm established manufacturing resources as early as 1995.
Other speakers include BofA Merrill Lynch's Alister Bazaz. Broadly speaking, cross-border M&A gives dealmakers the opportunity "to expand their revenue and profit base globally at a time when the U.S. is relatively flat and asset values overseas (particularly Europe) are reasonable," says Bazaz. But there are challenges, including "identifying properties that are for sale or are a strategic fit, given that Europe and Asia are made up of many 'markets'. Availability of debt financing can be a challenge if properties are in 'difficult to finance' countries," he explains.
How can dealmakers "unlock value and execute abroad," as the title of the symposium says?
"By acquiring foreign businesses, one can expand one's customer base, simplify organizational design, simplify go-to-market strategies and streamline overhead," answers Bazaz. "Corporate organizational design needs to be reevaluated based upon multiple variables, not just tax and legal."
