The New GLOBAL FRIDAYS Experience
Darude & Tom Swoon
Kevin Alves
The Church
1160 Lincoln St.
Denver, CO, 80203
This event is 18 and over
Watch & Listen
Darude, a name synonymous with driving beats and unrelenting energy, has been an innovator in dance music since he smashed his way onto the scene 10 years ago with the global hit singles 'Sandstorm', 'Feel The Beat' and 'Out Of Control' and the first album 'Before The Storm'. The second album 'Rush' with singles 'Music' and 'Next To You' again conquered charts around the world in 2003 and now he's back with more genre-breaking singles like 'Tell Me', 'My Game', 'In The Darkness' and 'I Ran (So Far Away)' from his 3rd artist album, 'Label This!' which is poised to rock its way up the charts and across the globe. 2011 saw Darude starting a record company, EnMass Music, with American DJ/producer Randy Boyer and that'll be keeping him busy in addition to touring and planned single and album releases of his own.
Kevin Alves would be hard pressed to deny the reality of destiny. As early as he could remember Kevin always wanted to be a musician and was involved with music from singing to starting his own band at age 15. "Music is the most intense way of expressing myself I've ever found. Alves' influence comes from many styles of music. All eras and genres are fair game as his strongest inspiration comes f
rom music that evokes emotion.
Alves is currently working on his original music and sound design. He recently released a remix for Ultra Records of Ecotek's "Into the night." Also a release with Nadia Ali's label, who Alves worked with for a remix of "Point the Finger," which stayed on Beatport's top 100 for several weeks, Look forward to Alves' new productions and sample
cds coming very soon, and check him out in your hometown where he will be spinning at your favorite venues.

These ABC Women poems are examples of ABC poems about Women. These are the best examples of ABC Women poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
The poem(s) are below...
This is to every precious lady, who through it all has learnt to read life off unscripted pages,
Made sense of voiceless glances and heard the message in sounds without lyrics,
Here is to the wise lady who can make uncorrupted decisions both in the silence and the storms,
Here is to the houses that built us- they may not have been luxuriously the best, but they've made us whole and content, to never panic about many things
Here is to the words that stitched us- they may not have been from the strongest voices but have stood the test of time:
The ones that taught us;
"Never to trust nobody, to always rely on ourselves"
"To fight silently, because it's only a feminine mastery for strongest women"
"Never to cry"- of course this has had its ups n downs
"To forget the pains and the fears" because bad things happen anyway
"Not to expect much from anybody"
"To respect and believe in the power of time"-
As we have later learnt by the way that ordinary folks and scribes call these two time keeping and patience.
So here is to the strength of ladies living inspirational lives because they took to mind most of the good advice that came their way.
Because the sound of this wisdom has now passionately followed us through our peaceful and fugitive moments
It has held us onto doing things not our own way but for life worth a memory...
Respect n blessings to ladies to whom tough didn't mean quit but another chance to prove the extra ordinary is still existent in human nature.
#more respect and honor

She wailed her way into the world...
An avatar they said, Goddess Lakshmi had taken birth...
Her parents' pride, her brother's delight...
She loved and shone her brightest light...
She smiled she laughed in her radiant sight...
She didn't notice the prying eyes...
Pirouettes and piques, with aplomb she leaped...
Fell back on the earth, for a second it hurt...
Not losing her stride, among the cries...
She walked ahead, with her head held high...
Its a man's world, she was warned...
Not true she said, and walked along...
For she was proud of the woman she was...
She did not know of the waging war...
She had no right to dress as she pleased...
Her shorts were labelled as a tease...
She committed a crime when she refused his friendship...
She was punished by a splash of acid...
Pushed and shoved, groped and cut...
She burnt she bled, he simply fled...
It was her fault, said those in power...
She ate noodles, she should have called him brother...
She shouldn't have been out, late at night...
Well, he was justified in playing out his might...
She should have brought a car in dowry...
She wouldn't be laying, a lifeless body...
She gives life, akin to God...
Yet her life is an irony, unwanted... abort...
Lying about the scar on her face...
She tells her friends she fell down the staircase...
For she didn't know how to confide in them...
Of the scathing beatings, by the husband she'd wed...
Killing in honour of the holy mother cow...
Raping the honour of the woman of their house...
They'd given her wings, asked her to fly...
She flew away, and then they pried...
How dare she fly away so high, she was permitted to fly awhile...
Clip her wings, draw a ring...attach her to their pendulum strings...
Stamped her fate, sentenced to a cage...
Live like a prisoner, you deserve it, they say...
Yet they fold their hands in prayer...
To a Goddess, for their share...
For their share of golden glory...
While her life becomes another cover story...

Grandma means so much more then what it says in the dictionary.
It should say wise, intelligent, strong women.
Amazing, loving, and very kind hearted women.
The go to girl in times of trouble, get great advise, and just vent for hours.
She will be proud of you as long as you try your best, and she will tell you what direction to go when you fall on you ass.
My grandma is the best, the best in the world. Ill love her forever, then a little more.
I just want to say thank you for all that you have done.
I have loved every part of it. even though sometimes I was wrong.
Happy mothers day, Mamaw.
We need a grandmas day too, so the entire day can be just about you.
I hope you have a good day, full of smiles and happiness.
I Love You, Mamaw and You Are The Bestest.

WOMEN ARE EVIL - men ARE stupid
Women are evil, men are stupid
when it comes to affairs of the heart, the arrow of cupid
It's sometimes a game that a broken love plays
so clever these women creating such disarray
Men go in like idiots, hook line and sinker
not seeing clearly hidden by blinkers
whilst being ridden, women take men for a ride
there is almost always something sinister lurking inside
To manipulate, all they do is spread legs,for in truth men are just dumb ****s
all they think of is shooting their muck
so to summarize the last statement so easy to control
such a fixation men have on that sweet juicy hole
A nine month period a baby after this
a time when women can truly take the piss
i know men can be such bastards but in short women have the evil last laugh
they will hurt you so easily with there vengeful wrath
From restrictions on kids, to doing your best mate
as i said, just opening legs men just take the bait
yes there are enlightened ones like myself, who recognize this
still with my kid a women controls me and takes the piss
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus
wouldn't it be funny if i was a women with a *****
just to clarify so you understand
i could have an evil intention coupled with a stupid plan
If i had the mind, genetics and equipment equal from each sex
i could get ****ed,**** also cry from cruel texts
i could start a campaign to change how both parties can be
i'd be the one to set both men and women free
Okay there would still in the future be a few underground freaks
would have the evil, stupid thing going on, not taking in my speech
but it's just my thoughts, this will obviously never be
one can only dream, loose oneself in a fantasy
For those who hear my words, take in all that i write
men will always be stupid they will never see the light
so women can continue being evil playing their evil game
today, tomorrow, the future will always be the same
For while women have a pussy, a sweet juicy hole
that will always be the ticket to gain easy control
its like dangling a carrot on a string in front of a donkey
they are the organ grinders we are the monkeys
Men are dominant and strong, women are subservient and weak
whosoever made this bold and silly statement, let the ****ers speak
men are stupid, women are evil and clever
to be honest i see no change, it will be this way forever

Come join the three for another cheap, meaningless day in their lives
They consider themselves to be hip, part of the same sex marriage, Burly the
husband, Flo and Mary the wives
Their day always starts at the breakfast table bashing the males that exist
They wish the males could be on the endangered species list
Sometimes things change among the three, as the estrogen level rises in Burly
Once a month, she wants to be a wife and act very girly
As for Mary and Flo, they think Oprah is hot
Burly thinks Rosie O'Donnell has the goodies she so much has sought
They sip their Busch Beer out of Nascar Coozies
There is no more room for anymore women within the circle of The Three
From their point of view, all men should be women's slaves
Burly has a strong scent of Old Spice after shave
They love watching domineering women type movies
The popcorn is shared by all Three Floozies
They go out to only all girls clubs
They cheer on the under dogs, their favorite one is the Chicago Cubs
Their closets are full of clothes by Dickies
They leave each other love notes on little stickies
Mary likes champagne on a store brand soda budget
Flo likes Butterbeans with cumin to make them smell pungent
Burly likes Pickled Eggs and sardines
Burly's favorite movie line is In space no one can hear you scream
Flo's favorite movie line is Go ahead, make my day
Mary's favorite movie line is My name is Chucky, do you wanna play?
Burly dreams of one day wrestlin' steers
Mary is concerned that Burly one day will leave, that's her worst fear
Flo watches the WWE, she is such a loyal fan
Burly uses her forehead to smash empty beer cans
None of you are mothers, so on your peanut butter selection, quit being choosy
Mary, Flo and Burly are today's Three Floozies

You send bolts through my skin
something I was never to
accomplish with you, when I
saw you it's like my heart sank
to my stomach and I was in
shock my body still my body
heavy felt like when I moved I
was about to fall to my knees
you make me want to get
inside my brain pick you up and
take you out pick you one by
one like a flower because I do
love you and love you not.

Why do women cheat?
Is it unintact relationships
Just looking to be swept off their feet
In search of intamacy or just
More Physical attraction
Is status or attentiveness
Are they looking for a one night
stand...no wait a minute
Thats a man
A unfaithful man causes emotional
damage that with time can be healed
Women seek relationships with
intent of revenge or to replace
With no conscience of how they
make a us feel.
We men are far from perfect
We break up many of homes
When we are the victims
We can only blame ourselves
So dont gripe or groan
To a woman we are always the
Either we dont make them
happy,make them feel special,dont
listen,or flat out dont seem to care
All could have been saved showing
her that you care with opening of a
door,heart to heart conversation,
sharing an intamate kiss and
breathed the same air
Faith, love, loyalty
Is what all relationhip should never
It will then go to shambles
That will be the cause or reasons To
get you heart ripped from your chest
and stabbed in the back

Must our eyes even when we blind see
I closed my eyes but Zipporah D 'Ead was aborting the Evil
Zipporah says Kevin Daddy closed her eyes not to see
And that mother sees but to her it's no Evil
Remember my daughter all we have is nothing you have to see
Until it's too late we must see no Evil
Must our ears even when we deaf Hear
I closed my ears but Mama Zipporah was screaming like she saw something Evil
Kevin Daddy says she is stupid she want supposed to hear
And that Zipporah my sister died of nature not Evil
Zipporah my saint pray for mother I need you to Hear
And don't forget she did her best but too late she is not evil
Remember in this our world money buys ears they all can't Hear
Until it's too late we must hear no evil
Must our mouths even when we Dumb Speak
And closed his mouth but Kevin Daddy drunk in his straitjacket must be something Evil
Zipporah and her mother he says to him they speak
Another one they say cray like the world it's Evil
Remember the voices in our heads shouldn't Speak
Until it's too late we must speak no Evil

Refreshing feel of identifying with music in my life,
The mother's voice still echoes sweet in all life's strife's.
She taught me to walk, run, dance and sing,
My mother still stands strong in love and vigor in my life.
Kindergarten, the start of knowledge in life,
Where Mini, Lakshmy, Susan, Shoba and Meera,
Still shines as star's in my day- to-day life,
Keeping those memories and blooming together.
School days, are times that stays vivid in mind,
Friends that evoked passions of love still impress,
Susan Bindu, Jaya, Brinda, and Manju remained firm,
Even when life made new meanings,connections endured.
College saw, mixed platter, though women who stayed in unit
More in day- to-day life in Bindu, Geeta, Asha, Raji and Vinith,
Patterns of Lost love, admiration's, hero worship,list stands long,
However, for me it was a distressing lullaby of hearts .
Life showed me, women stand strong above all
As I carry endless power of strength, mind and heart,
when I finds myself and knows where I remain in life!
So I stand tall and represent myself as women.
Love never lost its footprints along the line,
I am a woman in Love,being loved and cherished
I knows deep in my heart that i am contend,
Hearts grew deep in love, known love and in Love.
I knew it right from the start, a moms heart
Holding my finger tight, I cradle you in my arms
Your smile and showed all your charms.
Heavens showered me the "Mom', role in prologue.

How can you say women don't have rights?
knowing inside we have the will to fight
how can you say we can't do this or do that?
when we know one fact
that we have a mind of our own.
How can you say women are second rate people?
knowing deep down we are all equal
because we all are born the same way.
How can you say we are built to do certain things like were machines?
knowing we have dreams
just like you.
Because I'm a woman; you think I don't have the right to do what I really
want to do?
like I can't use my own voice?
are you that ignorant?
can't you all see that gender isn't even a choice?
Human rights is to be free
willing to use our minds to be anything we want to be
human rights is to express one's true self
to let it all out from him or herself
so how can you say I have to have the rights in order to be what I want to be?
knowing all along I do have those rights to do what I want to do
or maybe you can't see that I'm human like you
an there's nothing in the world that can change that.

Chivalry isn't dead.
For I know a few good men.
The man who would open
every door
for you, adjust every seat, fulfill
every romantic desire. Who is
sensitive yet still strong and
masculine. For he know he
doesn't need his women but
wants her because life isn't the
same without a women's touch.
Hes the perfect balance of wit
and smarts as well as physically
stout. Clout like the great
bambino, Heart and honor like
the great King Arthur In
another life it was as if he
wielded a sword and shield .
Would protect innocent and live
for only the greater of good.
A man of god A man of life.
gentlemen are in hiding for the
definition of a "real women " is
now misunderstood for being a
" bad bitch" . As well as a "
real man" is misunderstood for
" a real nigga" or a "boss". I
don't want artificial happiness.
Money can't buy me love. But
these so called "females" can
be.. Something's missing
here?!? I want forever.. I want
unconditional, poetic love. A
soulmate.. True romance a
story book ending a queen.
We all want somebody to grow
old with but I will not accept
comfort. I won't accept nothing
less than extradonary. To this
feeling I am no stranger so it's
worth the wait. Chivalry isn't
dead... I'm here as living proof
for I know a few good men

All eye admiration flood upon your presence
Beyond words, this mind bleeds,
Crushed by your metaphysical yet practical brilliance
Deafened by the hilarity of your quirks
Envying those that may embellish in your jests
Frozen in tears where the past brings smiles
Groveling beside the untouched potential
How is it you excel among such fetid company?
Initiating your moon-shines like the sun is your god
Jumping jacks pounding these ever depressing soles
Kittling the fingertips mindfully so
Lackadaisically glancing upon our stranger-friend relationship
Mustering the audacity to surmount your eccentricities
No one could ever quite notice before
Opulent in knowing you have captured so many
Pained inside to the very last penny
Quenched from courage, I remain caged in your glory
Rabid to agitate your unacquainted waters
Suckling upon the overflow—
The leftovers that offer richness I will never know
Understanding you wholeheartedly—I quiver
Violated by the comfort tease of your words
Wondering how love can surface upon unsteady oceans
X chromosome searching for a sharp fool within a current of chaos
Y chromosome spinning, slightly hidden with a small, sparkly smile
Zealous in the frivolous chase—I was latched from the start

your heart is avowed by nostalgic pigeons

Words leave scars,
Hearts never heal,
You look up to the stars,
Wishing you can't feel.
Friends turn away,
Relationships shatter,
Hearts led astray,
No one thinks it matters.
The girl with a broken heart,
Lays on the filthy ground,
Broken glass in shards,
Blood drops can be found.
Get up sweet angel,
You deserve more,
I know you are able,
Get up off the floor.
Hold your head high,
You are who you are,
Higher you will fly,
Fly away far.
Away from this world,
Away from the sorrow,
You are a pearl,
A destiny to follow.
From a grain of sand,
To a pearl like no other,
The world in your hands,
Not torn by sorrow nor lover,
You alone can be the best,
Never cry or lay it to rest,
Strong as the sea,
Wild as the wind,
Gentle as a breeze,
You don't need a prince.
Alone you are strong,
Along with your sisters,
Every woman is one,
We will not be sorrows

The enemy was trying to trap me in his captivity
I am enlightened in this new millennium, world not dwelling in inequity
Instead of stumbling blocks..stepping stones over the trickery.
I gave him my soul lord Almighty not the man of this society
I may be young an age but wise I spirit therefore see how god shine through me for he who here it.
I know (a-men)i know the gift god gave to me that make the demonic unclean spirits flee.
The devil knows and he can feel it
Let him fear it!
Fear the god which is in me
I once was a christ baby
On this day I proclaim a virtuous lady!

Women of worth and
do not see great men as
Men of might and
matchless quality,
do not see weak women as
Men who say all women
are bitches
must have fallen into self-
made ditches.
Women can be your
greatest asset,
abusing them could make
you regret.
Those who say all men are
the same,
should bow their heads in
It show they are making a
that is causing them
constant heartbreak.

when you lose sight of what really counts
its easy to focus on only whats shallow
am i too fat is my nose too big
do i walk or talk weird whats wrong with me
when we forget the depth that is here in this world
and focus on things that are just absurd
so maybe im not a supermodel and my bums a tad on the thick side
and maybe im no a genius thats getting a scholorship on my side
but does that mean im nothing that i dont count
this world is getting sickening count me OUT
im ashamed of myself for even thinking like this
and obsessing to tears over shallow petty shit
i am praying that god hears my pleas for help
because i cant conquer this all by myself
i used to not care didnt care at all
but like any other i rise and fall
i am of the opinion that your body is a shell
and youll leave it behind when you go to heaven or hell
it will rot in the ground and count for nothing
and when i meet my maker he wont care how big my bum is
some women ONLY care about their looks and they dont get it
they dont see the big picture
and i fear theyll regret it
and other women dont care even at all
about their looks because their depth is so massive and raw
but then theres me in the middle with so much depth and spirituality
why do i waste time wondering what are all the things wrong with me
im sick of crying over it ive done it for too long
im sick of getting angry when i cant crawl out of my bod
its a thought that i had reguarding a cacoon
like how catapielers go into them and out comes a butterfly zoom
if i could just crawl out my mouth my soul free for just a moment
and be allowed to have a different shell to live and own it
i wonder what its like to feel just for a second
not arrogance but a sweet compliment from someone who MEANT IT
my desperate pleas go out to you and anyone else who will listen
i hate my body im sick of my face and my voice is just ridiculous
so lets just drop it in the ocean let it sail away
cuz me im going to better places where i dont have to cry all day
where i know that my body is just a little shell a vehicle if you will
its our car or truck or limo or bus to use while we use our free will
and ive always said when you go you don't take your money your lambergini
or your watch expensive jewlery its all staying beind
and you should think about what YOUR world is while im trying desperatley to fix mine

I am no fashion model and that's for sure
I need to do a lot of work to be a Size 4
Feeling pretty and petite is for what I strive
But I am far from being a Size 5
Eating yogurt, salad, celery and carrot sticks
I will never in my lifetime be a Size 6
Always feeling down and praying to god in heaven
Asking him why have I never been a Size 7
Constantly downing myself and questioning my fate
Why don't I stand tall and have a figure to fit a Size 8
Restrictions,diets,sugar substitutes,everything in moderation just give it time
All the while killing myself trying to be a Size 9
Buying butt lifters and waist trainers trying to fit in
Lord knows it's a lot of work trying to be a Size 10
Never been a Size 11 or 12 although I could fit a 13 comfortably at one point in time
But having my four babies helped me jump past a 14 into Size 15/16 depressing but I'll be fine
Then it hit me I finally see
God made me this way because I am a PERFECT SIZE ME

You are the female whose perfectly stacked
You should wear a sign that reads MAY CAUSE HEART ATTACKS
Pay no mind to what other women say
Women have their men neutered, keeping them at bey
You never fall for those smooth pick up lines
You would be in prison, if a smokin' body was a crime
Your last name is Parker, with a circle not so vicious
You get the highest rating of bootylicious
I am Sherlock Holmes, so give me a clue
A hint of how I can get next to you
If a genie granted me three wishes
I only want one, I want to experience bootylicious
Just the look from your eyes put men at your beckon call
Every room should be filled with bootylicious from wall to wall
If they could design a computer using you, there would be no glitches
You would be the mainframe, the nerve center of bootylicious
Bootylicious is in all women out there
Go on men, check them out, take a long stare
The walk, the talk, the strut and the look
Your story is all true, a non-fiction book
As you men stand at the kitchen sink while washing the dishes
Look out the window, you'll spot bootylicious
Please let me know
Let me know when you feel what I feel,
Cause I can't describe how it feels to be me,
Loving you and having so much patience,
Please show me if I'm wrong,
Correct me at any given time,
Cause the more you correct me its the more I fall in love,
Please let me know,
When your heart is weary,I will always be there to help,
As quick as a lightning,
Always eager to assist,
Please let me know,
For I am yours now and forever...

The days I spent with her,
Were days of full awesomeness.
I loved to be with her,
As her love lied in her calmness.
The beauty of our relationship,
Was as pure as gold.
A little old & bold,
With the power to withstand
even the strongest cold.
My journey with her couldn't last for long,
Didn't knew exactly where I was wrong.
It was the beginning of my pain,
Only to loose & nothing to gain.
Left with her thoughts in my mind,
I lived my life like one of a kind.
Just like the leaves are part of trees,
I just want to stay; Alive in her memories

I pack rhymes and squeeze lines like I got a big de-luggage
I eat burgers and beg them elders like I'm some piece of de-garbage
I eat snacks with de-sanguages and flow lyrics with de-language
I eat de-lays while chasing chickens like women need to be de-laid
I de-lay verses when writing poems like I'm so de-educated
I de-language metaphors like Saddam Hussein being decapitated
I de-compose verses & sooth poetic souls like criminals renouncing de-fraud
I consult with presidents and confuse deputies like I'm some de-vice
I complete de-forms and design signatures like Bill Gates on debates
I trail de-tails like polices dogs sniffing cracks of different de-scents
I de-fuse nuclear bombs & threaten twin towers like September de-eleven
I'm precise when closing arguments like women screaming de-fine
I deviate from impurities like preachers praising the Lord's good news
I flow sicker than poets when writing poems like drug disorders
I de-frost tension when aggressively speaking like a deep freeze on degrees

When a kid was she, adored child only,
Treated like a princess, every wish fulfilled.
She was gifted a book one day,
'Adventures of a little girl' it read,
Colorful pictures, exciting story,
She got lost in its glory.
But then she grew up and know what?
The adventures never came true,
She searched in the real world,
Got lost but didn't find any prince charming too.
But she found another book,
'Sacrifices of a woman' it read,
Rules to live by for a woman,
Submissive, sacrificing, bowed down.
"Of course, this won't be true either,' she said,
And kept it aside while she searched for her way,
Tried to be assertive, independent,
For like a princess she had been raised.
But then she found the second story coming true,
Many things the world didn't allow her to do,
Obstacles she came across everywhere,
She felt lost again and again.
'This is stupid," she said to herself,
"The first story was good but didn't come true,
The second is sad but seems to happen with me,
It's my life, so why can't I decide my own story?"
And that resolve started a new story,
She persevered, remained firm and assertive,
Bogged down she didn't remain by the society's norms,
She decided to write climax the way she wanted it to happen.
Slowly, but surely she found her way,
Prince Charming himself came to find her from faraway,
She was not submissive, all those rules she broke,
Yet, a lot of respect from all she evoked.
One night, years hence she sat on her bed,
A smile of satisfaction lit up her face,
She put down the book she had been reading that time,
It was called 'The Story of Her Life.'

Women chores don't always include having a broom in your hand. it also means that you need to be able to connect with your mind, & say what you need to say. Every women deserves a voice. A purpose. Don't let men or our society define you. You are who you want to be. You think what you want to think. And you do what you want to do. Think like a strong woman, but if you have your kids also think like a mother. Live free, but also keep your life under control. You have responsibilities. Goals, don't lose that just because you think you can't be on your own.

Snow on the Way
SEATTLE (AP) - Forecasters say another storm blowing into Western Washington today will bring heavy rain to the lowlands and snow to the higher mountain elevations. The National Weather Service says the snow level should rise from 4,000 feet to 5,500 feet tonight, so the Cascade passes will see a mix of rain and snow. Higher could get a foot or more of new snow.

Footy is a passion, not some cold hearted, spread sheet dominated rational exercise.
On a Monday you want irrational reaction. You want emotion to trump reason.
What you really want is idiotic hysteria.
You've come to the right place.
Western Bulldogs (95) v Collingwood (92)
Neither side deserved to lose this, even though it was great Collingwood did.
This was a thrilling game, which I don't think is technically legal on Friday Night Footy.
Collingwood showed an impressive and unexpected level of heart, exemplified by Darcy Moore crashing head first into the LED signage around the boundary.
Despite a fair gash to his head, he managed to play out the rest of the game and also managed to avoid being fined by the AFL for placing advertising in danger.
The AFL needs to do a lot more to protect sponsor signage. Getting rid of all the players would be a good start.
The Bulldogs lacked urgency in this one and it was only the fact they are a class above the Pies that meant they could get away to leaving the hard work until the last minute.
Brisbane (99) v Carlton (95)
Oh dear. I thought we'd moved past this Carlton.
Their first half was Malthouse era stuff, with the Lions going into halftime with a 40-point lead.
It's important to remember that the Lions aren't good and the Blues embarked on a comeback in the third quarter, after Brendon Bolton told the team that despite his nice guy image, he would feel nothing when he got rid of players at the end of the season.
The fight back almost worked too, with Dale Thomas getting a set shot from the left forward pocket with two minutes remaining to put Carlton in front, but he missed.
It was like the expensive revenge of Mick Malthouse and further endeared Daisy to the Blues faithful.
So Brisbane hung on for a famous victory. Well, famous like a former contestant on The Voice is famous.
Hawthorn (96) v North Melbourne (57)
Going by the reaction to this performance, Hawthorn can't win the Premiership.
History supports that view; being top of the ladder this late in the season is a tough position to be in.
In fact, no team that's been top of the ladder at this stage has ever won the Premiership. I haven't checked if that's true but certainly no team going for its fourth premiership has (this may also not be true).
Despite Hawthorn being done for, their first quarter was solid with them booting eight goals to one.
Brad Scott showed why he's one of the AFL's keenest minds, saying after the match, "conceding a 46-point start makes it very difficult."
North did fight back though. Boomer Harvey even whacked Sam Mitchell. It's hard to take a side there but it made me wonder what Sam Mitchell's ever done to deserve it. Oh, the kneeing. That's right.
In the end, Hawthorn put the foot down and North just couldn't go with them. It leaves the Kangaroos campaign to miss the eight alive and well.
Greater Western Sydney (96) v West Coast (97)
If GWS stuff up their positioning at the final stoppage and lose the game but no one is there to see it, did it really happen?
Oh, I do enjoy a good 'Giants have no fans joke', mainly because I get both of their fans complain to me every time about my material being old.
They're right of course, 'no fans' jokes about the Giants are as old as the Giants themselves, so five years old.
And while it's still true, I promise to refresh my material, stop doing them and start focusing on some new work about Richmond always finishing ninth, free kicks to Hawthorn, Collingwood fans having no teeth, Melbourne supporters being at the snow and Adelaide fans drinking chardonnay.
I've also got a heap of jokes about West Coast not being able to win away from home.
Yet, thanks to Nic Naitanui those jokes are ruined now. At the final stoppage in the dying seconds, he pushed off Shane Mumford, gathered and goaled, to win it for the Eagles.
Just pushing off Shane Mumford is impressive enough, the rest was just showing off.
It's the moment when Nic finally emerges from Jack Watts shadow and is recognised as a great player in his own right.
For the Giants, the shock loss is less than ideal. It drops them to fifth and means a top four spot seems a lot less likely.
Heartbreaking for their fan.
St Kilda (76) v Sydney (146)
The Saints got a reality check against a team that was on a mission to win and win big.
The Swans played this like a final, knowing a top two finish is what's need and St Kilda were just the unfortunate team that stood in their way.
Buddy Franklin is obviously an amazing player 'with ball in hand', as the commentators like to say but it's his presence around the ball that impresses me the most.
He is brutal, crashing through opponents like an out of control jeep ploughing into a row of parked cars.
St Kilda played like a bunch of parked cars for a lot of this.
Their much vaulted pressure coming undone against a team that didn't panic because someone was running at them.
It was just what the Swans needed too, a boost that pushes their percentage higher than Michael Talia.
Port Adelaide (54) v Melbourne (94)
The first half by Port Adelaide was some of the worst football I've seen this year.
They were simply embarrassing. Again.
So many Port players don't do the defensive things. I'd never realised 'the Port Adelaide way' meant avoiding physical contact.
While it's more fun to blame David Koch for everything, Ken Hinkley and the players must shoulder a lot of the blame.
At one point, Port had given away more fifty metre penalties than they'd scored goals. That was partly because the umpires now hand out fifty metre penalties like they're condoms at the Olympic village but it was also the fact Port visited their forward fifty less than a dead beat dad visits their kids.
While parts of this weren't pretty for Melbourne, to win in Adelaide after an emotional victory the week before and not playing their best, says more about their progress than the win against Hawthorn.
They even had players like Viney and Hogan having quiet nights and others stood up.
Now people are talking about them making finals, which means they're dead certs to drop their game against Carlton.
Essendon (75) v Gold Coast (69)
What are the odds of Brisbane and Essendon both winning in the same week? About the same as an Aussie winning a Gold Medal in sprinting.
Yes, it was the Bombers second victory of the year and Melbourne fans celebrated with enormous relief at not being the only team to lose to Essendon this year.
Amazingly, the Bombers even did this without Brendon Goddard yelling and pointing at them.
Gold Coast will rue their inaccuracy but Essendon deserve the credit for not giving in and harassing the Suns all game.
As a Melbourne supporter, I know what Suns fans are going through, shame, panic eating, rocking back and forth in a darkened room with tears streaming down their face. We've all been there.
It just more evidence of the amazing turnaround under Rodney Eade continues.
To be fair, you can't blame Rodney Eade for all the injuries, unless of course the players prefer being injured to spending time with Rodney, not the craziest theory I've ever floated.
Richmond (78) v Geelong (82)
I wouldn't wish being a Richmond supporter on my worst enemy, who coincidentally happens to be a Richmond supporter. Yes, I'm talking about you Janice.
Even by Richmond standards, this loss to the Cats was really something else.
At three quarter time I thought they couldn't lose this that if they tried but it turned out the secret was not trying.
It was all going so well for the Tiges too, right until Chris Scott started doing some of that fancy coaching stuff that had the Richmond coaches' box scratching their heads.
This was a Richmond fan's life encapsulated in one single game.
So much so that experienced Tigers supporters knew at three quarter time it was a lost cause. They loaded up on drinks and curled into the tiniest ball possible.
While Geelong got out of this, the real question, like the nice ambulance officer once asked me, is how did you get into this position in the first place?
A stunning comeback is nice but against an actual AFL team it would have been impossible to do.
Peggy O'Neal promised Richmond fans stability and based on this, she can take a lot of credit for the fact everything is as it's always been at Tigerland.
Fremantle (70) v Adelaide (142)
Well this was a handy little outcome for the Crows. A win in Perth and a big percentage boost.
Remember, Ross Lyon is a defensive specialist so the Dockers did exceptionally well to hold the Crows to 142 points. I'd hate to see what would happen to a side not coached by a defensive mastermind.
No wonder everyone wants out of the Dockers. It's one thing to have to put up with Ross, another all together to do it while losing.
Adelaide on the other hand have no complaints. This was exactly what they needed.
They sit in third with a massive percentage and Port Adelaide next week. The last time people were this excited in Adelaide, South Australia had an economy.

Hankivsky (Ed.), Health Inequities in Canada: Intersectional Frameworks and Practices (pp. 295-311). Vancouver: UBC Press.
Using an intersectional perspective in health services research, this book chapter is aimed at analyzing and improving health care by drawing attention to the following: how health problems are framed; why particular problems are prioritized, and thus legitimized, over others; how multiple health and social issues such as violence and trauma, chronic pain, addictions, and poverty intersect; and the importance of structuring health services in ways that address the intersecting realities of people's lives. These areas of analysis are critical to developing strategies for mitigating the ongoing marginalizing and racializing inequities that shape the lives and health of many women in Canada.

Newell: Football has gone soft
By Robin Slater
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Luton boss Mike Newell was left furious despite watching his side earn a vital point.
Luton boss Mike Newell was left furious despite watching his side earn a vital point against play-off chasing Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.
Newell has accused English football of going soft after Town defender Sol Davis was sent-off for a reckless challenge on Mamady Sidibe.
"That challenge was as good a tackle as I have seen for a long while. He has gone through everything but he has definitely won the ball - we will appeal that one," said Newell.
"10 or 15 years ago people would have laughed if you had got sent off for something like that, now you can get sent off if your shadow goes near someone.
"With the rules as they are you might as well take the tackling out of the game. That was a proper tackle and I won't have anyone telling me that was a sending off."
Stoke manager Tony Pulis was also left bewildered with the referee after his striker Ricardo Fuller was sent-off for reacting to a tangle with Davis with a petulant raised arm.
"I've not spoken to the referee but we're going to have a good look at the video to see if our lad had done anything wrong because he's distraught at what has happened," said Pulis
"If he has raised his arm then we are going to lose him for three or four games, which is a big shame, but if he hasn't we shall appeal the decision."

Ah, hipsters. An almost completely passé concept at this point. But if we made a normcore soap, would it have to dress like Jerry Seinfeld? We swore off mom jeans back in the 80s. Soap for Hipsters is not for the hipster poser, btw. The rich scents of coffee, bacon and craft beer will waft from the bubbly lather and make you ... well, hungry is our guess.

I am travelling to Europe in May, 2016, for a wedding in Malta. Prior to the wedding, we would like to travel around France for approx. 3 weeks. We haven't decided which city we will fly into but intend to hire a car and drive ourselves. We have been to Paris before and have seen the main attractions there so we don't need time in Paris again. I would like any advice on where to begin planning an itinerary. We have no expectations except to finish in a city where we can catch a plane to Malta. Mid level accom. budget. We have begun to research regions and attractions but as yet have no goals.

Not really a helpful answer, Gretchen, but I do understand that one would need many trips to Paris to see it all.
No first-hand experience, but looking at the map, I see a ferry line from Pozzallo in Sicily. Google what goes on there but one sees beaches.
Perhaps Sicily could be an option--you could fly from other cities there. Others can give better info. DH and I loved Sicily.
Report Abuse
I thought you might get pulled up for that comment, Jayne, but I know what you mean - if you don't want to go to Paris on this trip then that's that, regardless of the reason. I think you'll have to specify some more preferences or parameters, thigh - there are a LOT of options! What are you most interested in? Historical monuments? Cultural spectacles? Shopping and gastronomy? if I had three weeks is consider flying into somewhere like Bordeaux and seeing a bit of that region, then heading down via Arcachon to the Basque Country for a pretty different landscape and cuisine. You could go to San Sebastián and even Bilbao. Then you could motor over to Toulouse and Carcassonne, and finally head east to Provence - it looks like you can fly to Malta from Marseille or Nice.
Report Abuse
Sicily is fascinating, and the landscape is crazy - you can be in almost alpine-like villages in the morning, and on the beach or in the thick of it in somewhere like Palermo by evening. Sardinia and Corsica might also be an option?
Report Abuse
jayne - I think that it might be helpful if you could give some parameters for your arrival and departure airports. Have you worked out where your easiest entry and exit airports are? There's no point in us suggesting a route that, say, starts in Nice and ends in Toulouse if you can't fly to Malta from Toulouse.
Report Abuse
Since the OP mentioned France not sure why everyone i recoing Sicily and sSpain.
If it were me I would check out a couple of different areas to get a taste of a variety or French subcultures - perhaps do a road trip from Normandy through the Loire (lovely chateaux), Burgundy and then up through Alsace. You can definitely fly to Malta from Frankfurt and perhaps Strasbourg or Basel.

We've spent over 3 years "on the ground" in France. Our two favorite regions are Provence & Dordogne. Just below that is Brittany & the Cote d'Azur.
A good itinerary would be:
Fly into Nice & spend 5-6 nights on the Cote d'Azur. Rent a car the last 3 days there & explore the beautiful Nice Hinterland
Drive 2 1/2 hrs to Provence & spend 5-6 nights there.
Drive to Carcassonne, visit for 2 1/2 hrs, then drive to St Cirq Lapopie and spend 3 nights there.
- Drive to the Dordogne/Sarlat and spend your remaining days there.
- Either fly to Malta from Toulouse, or take a train from Brive la Gaillarde to Paris & fly from there.

If you go to whichbudget.com and tell it you want to fly from France to Malta it will offer you nine airports (other than Paris). Personally I would pick Nice. I am fond of Nice in the off season and May is probably still early enough it won't be swamped. It makes a very good base city, although if you have a car you might want to stay somewhere nearby.

Fly to Bordeaux and visit the Dordogne for a week, and then drive through the Languedoc to go to the Provence where you would spend another week. If you can get a flight from Nice, a few days there would probably fill out your itinerary.
You should get the Michelin Green Guides for each region to plan the trip in more details.

In May, stay in the southern half of the country. Michael's ideas look good, but you could also visit northern Burgundy (Chablis/Auxerre both very pretty) and then hunker down in Burgundy proper for a bit.

I think Stu Dudley has offered a great general itinerary hitting some of France's neatest regions.

Thank you for all of your very practical and considerate replies. Thanks Stu and Michael, you are most helpful. Valuable advice from others too, thanks.
Gretchen- your comment- really?? Not necessary nor practical. I am not that ignorant to believe that Paris doesn't have so much to offer the tourist but there is so much else to experience in France and with so little time to explore new places, I can't afford the luxury of revisiting Paris.

jayne - there's always one. sometimes, I confess that I'm it, but on this occasion, I think that most of us realised what you were getting at.
Though a few days in Paris are rarely wasted!
hope you have a terrific trip.

Thanks Annhig. Perhaps someone can help me with this question. Which would be the best/ easiest airport to fly into to hire a car and drive out of the cities CDG- Paris or Orly? I apologise in advance if this seems a stupid question to some.
Report Abuse
If you want a southern France itinerary, get a connecting flight from Paris directly to Bordeaux, Nice, or wherever since you really don't want to drive that far. It won't cost much more. Train from CDG to a southern city is another option, but fussier since you are switching modes. If you want to visit Burgundy driving from CDG could work. I doubt Orly gets long haul flights so probably not in the equation.
Report Abuse
Yes, you can fly from Paris or London or Dublin or Amsterdam to Bordeaux, Marseille, or Nice, so you have a lot of flight choices, some of which may be significantly cheaper than others.
If someone told me "Here's two weeks and a briefcase full of money", I would just download Stu Dudley's reports and follow his itinerary above.

ditto to what Ackislander says and about Stu's comprehensive itineraries too (I have not seen one but from others comments like this) but IMO use as a general guide but do not try to follow every turn - part of the fun of driving in rural areas is just seeing what is down that road - get a 1:200000 Michelin yellow map - sold at gas stations, newsstands, cafes, everywhere and stick to the D (departmental) roads that except around big cities are IME basically well-paved untravelled roads that wind between villages - roads in yellow are busier and avoid roads in red - those are oft traffic-palgued with lorries, caravans and cars avoiding the steep tolls of the autoroutes.

I can't afford the luxury of revisiting Paris
Well, forgive me ALSO. With 3 weeks to visit France and "I've been to Paris" I DO believe I'd spare a couple of those days. BUT as everyone AND you have pointed out, that is just "me" and not you. In maybe a dozen trips over 60 years, I always work in a Paris "fix' but again, that is must "me" and not you. BUT I still say it is worth at least thinking about since you have an ample amount of time.
I also am not wealthy--don't know where you got that idea.
Again apologies for a differing opinion. I read a book once and enjoyed it. LOL
And yes, there are myriad ways to visit France in that time. Enjoy them.

Hi Gretchen- yes everyone is different. I appreciate your point of view. In this context, the term 'afford' has nothing to do with wealth and money, I refer to luxury of time.

"I would like any advice on where to begin planning an itinerary. "
You have an incredible wealth of options! You might start at your local library, looking at some guidebooks -- perhaps the Insight or Eyewitness or National Geographic, which are, IME, the best for inspiration. See what places grab at your heart. Then you can start looking at some of the guidebooks that are mor helpful for framing a trip, like Fodor's and Frommer's and the Michelin Green Guide. Finally, the Rough Guide or Lonely Planet for detailed planning.

I think that you should work backwards - which places have the best connections to Malta, in terms of accessibility, reasonable departure times, etc. That gives you where you want to end up.
Most long-haul flights arrive at CDG, but you could of course fly from there to another city or get the train - depending on where you want to go. also it might be possible to fly into somewhere else - Toulouse and Nice have quite a lot of long-haul arrivals too.
With 3 weeks you could see quite a lot of France but there's a danger that you try to fit in too much and end up spreading yourselves too thin - I would consider having at least one full week's stay somewhere, perhaps in a gite, which ought to be reasonably easy to find during that time. There is also a growing trend for B&Bs in France; we stayed in a great one in Pampol once where they had a communal breakfast table and our french improved quite rapidly.
Both gites and B&Bs ["tables d'hote"] can be found here:
Alternatively you should have no trouble just winging it that time of year - there are innumerable little hotels in France that you can just walk into and book a room and we have found some lovely places doing that.
This doesn't help much with the where, but perhaps it's a help with the how.

Last May in France was very rainy and a little cool where we went, but the gardens were gorgeous. We drove around upper and lower Normandy and as far south as Argenton-sur-Creuse, looking for gardens, Plus Beaux Villages, and Villes/villages fleuries. Stayed mostly in B&Bs.

nytraveler, OP's desire to get to Malta easily is what engendered the Sicily suggestions.

Warning Over Fake £10 Notes In Weymouth
7:40am 23rd August 2013
There's concern people are going to be left out of pocket due to fake bank notes circulating around Weymouth.
In the last 48 hours a number of counterfeit £10 bank notes have been used to pay for things in local shops.
Manager at the Weymouth Post Office Leon Gallie says all the fake notes found are of a similar quality.
Leon says when a fake note is found, unfortunately, people are left out of pocket;
"Once they've been spotted and taken out of circulation we can't give the fake money back. We give a receipt for them, and if the note is subsequently found to be genuine then the Bank of England will reimburse the customer. But unfortunately it's the person who last has it who has to take it on the chin."

Moulvibazar: Hummum Waterfall(হাম্মাম ঝরনা)
This was my second attempt to vanquish the remote waterfall Hummum(হাম্মাম) from Rajkandi(রাজকান্দি) reserve forest, Moulvibazar(মৌলভীবাজার). Last time I couldn't reach towards the waterfall with my team comprises of ten members due to extreme adversity from weather. If you have time on your hand, you can read that unsuccessful attempt.
Back to the current expedition. This time we are a team having four trekker, Hasnat(হাসনাত), Muntasir(মুনতাসির), Babu(বাবু), and I'm the Demon Hunter. We have commenced our journey at morning 5:00 and Hasnat(হাসনাত) was driving his car. When we were at Srimangal(শ্রীমঙ্গল) town, it was 8:15 at morning. After our breakfast at a local restaurant, we have started for Champarai Bazaar(চাম্পারাই বাজার). It was several minutes past of 9:00 at when we were at that bazaar.
There, people are now a days trying to make money from the tourists. They are forcing to pick guides from them and possibly it was around 300 taka per guide. Since we have already known to the path, and we have the path loaded on our GPS navigator, we were reluctant to pick any guides. But they were compelling to hire one from them.
By paying 50 Taka, somehow we have managed to escape. From the bazaar we were walking with moderate pace through the muddy road. Interestingly a local tractor(use to transport tea-leafs and other stuffs for tea gardens) offered us a free ride. We enthusiastically accepted the offer. They have dropped us almost near to the Kolabon Para(কলাবন পারা) village.
One of the guy from the village wanted to join us as a guide, but we have denied him politely and thanked him for the offer. Last time there were only one path to reach at the waterfall. But right now people made another twos, possibly shorter in distance. But we didn't know that. We were walking over the new path, and our GPS was showing "Off trek". May be it would be a shortcut, but we didn't want to use this one. So we walked back and picked the right path.
Last time it was raining, so the whole road was packed with tons of blood sucking leeches. But this time it is clean sky with plenty of sunlight. The jungle was warm, and the trek was dry enough to retreat the leeches from the main course.
When we have reached at the Jhiri(ঝিরি), it was having water flowing, but not that much as we have seen last time. We were walking through the Jhiri(ঝিরি) cautiously. The water from the Jhiri(ঝিরি) was not clean like Bandarban(বান্দরবান), too much murky. We have experienced the water height almost up to our waist at some places.
Possibly it was almost 2:00 when we have reached at the waterfall. I was excited by the picturesque beauty of the waterfall, but equally was feeling hapless by the presence of hundreds of tourists who were gathering there. People made that place a picnic spot. They came here with 'picnic lunch packs', but none of them were showing any interest to collect the leftovers. They were just messing that place with those urban stuffs and causing a serious damage over the natural value.
We have to return back to Dhaka by the night. So quickly we jumped inside the water and had a shower for half an hour. It was terribly hot there, but the water from the waterfall usually be cold and which soothed our tiredness instantly.
The waterfall is wider enough compare to others from Bangladesh. Possibly it is 20-30 ft in width, and I'm not sure about the height. May be somewhere between 70-100 ft. The amount of water flow was not that much right now, but it had the minimum number of water to please a visitor like me.
After enjoying the beauty of the Hummam waterfall(হাম্মাম ঝরনা) with such a massive crowd, we started to return back. Like our other tours, we were silent and calm during returning. Non of us talked too much. Just walking and was thinking about what we were leaving.
During walking, nail from my one finger was ripped off from my foot. So I wasn't feeling comfortable in wearing shoes. I have taken my shoe off from my left foot, and walked with only single one. Carried both the shoes at the village, and gifted those to a guy from there. He was initially feeling shy to take those shoes, but later was exulted to get those.
From the village, this time no hitchhiking were available. So we had to walk the entire road until we reached the Champarai Bazar(চাম্পারাই বাজার).
We were messed up by sweating and mud. We wanted to be freshen up from the pond beside the mosque. But interestingly and unfortunately, the dumb Imam from the mosque didn't allow us to do so. There was a temple at the bazaar, and that has a large pond too. People suggested us to use that one, and this time no one did forbid us. After refreshment, two of us went to the mosque for prayer, but again the Imam didn't help(prayer ended half an our ago, so he wasn't interested to open the gate until next prayer).
Before 10 minutes of sunset, we have left the bazaar, and when we have reached at Dhaka, it was almost 12:00. We had a dinner break at a roadside restaurant.
During this tour Hasnat(হাসনাত) showed his stamina once again. he did drive the car during both rides, and also trekked with us. More or less we were sleeping at the car, but he was always cogitate until his task was finished.
Few notes about the naming of the waterfall:
** Few people are calling the waterfall as Hummum/Hammam Jhorna.
** Almost every local people are calling the waterfall as Humhum/Hum Hum/Ham Ham.
** Local people are calling the waterfall as Sitap too. Possibly they are calling the waterfall as Hamham, and calling the water beneath the waterfall as Sitap. Not sure.
So what you'll call the waterfall is up to you. My only request is, just don't mess the place. Its a lovely place for single day expedition with trekking. Don't kill this and let other people to enjoy this.
If you want to know how to reach at that place and where to go, you'll find it from previous expedition experience.

One of the many mandates of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 calls for oil companies to increase the amount of ethanol mixed with gasoline. Unfortunately, there will be many unexpected consequences when we use ethanol as a replacement for gasoline, says Walter E. Williams, Professor of Economics at George Mason University.
For example, ethanol contains water that distillation cannot remove:
- As such, it can cause major damage to automobile engines not specifically designed to burn ethanol.
- The water content of ethanol also risks pipeline corrosion and thus must be shipped by truck, rail car or barge.
- These shipping methods are far more expensive than pipelines.
Other issues:
- Ethanol is 20 to 30 percent less efficient than gasoline, making it more expensive per highway mile.
- It takes 450 pounds of corn to produce the ethanol to fill one SUV tank. That's enough corn to feed one person for a year.
- Plus, it takes more than one gallon of fossil fuel -- oil and natural gas -- to produce one gallon of ethanol.
- 1,700 gallons of water are needed to produce one gallon of ethanol.
- On top of all this, if our total annual corn output were put to ethanol production, it would reduce gasoline consumption by 10 or 12 percent.
Ethanol is so costly that it wouldn't make it in a free market, says Williams. That's why Congress has enacted major ethanol subsidies:
- $1.05 to $1.38 a gallon, which is no less than a tax on consumers.
- In fact, there's a double tax -- one in the form of ethanol subsidies and another in the form of handouts to corn farmers to the tune of $9.5 billion in 2005 alone.

Review time! with The Sky Over the Louvre
Here's an odd beast!
The Sky Over the Louvre is the latest in a series of graphic novels co-pulblished with the museum itself. That's a bit strange, yet awesome at the same time. Here in the colonies, it's published by NBM, which sells it for $19.99. The book is the brainchild of Bernar Yslaire (Bernard Hislaire), who's been drawing comics since the mid-1970s. He had the idea, laid the book out, drew it, and colored it. He wrote it in conjunction with Jean-Claude Carrière, who's been writing screenplays since the 1960s (including the one for Chinese Box, which is a pretty darned good movie).
The Sky Over the Louvre tells a story of the French Revolution, just when the building had been turned into a museum from a palace (yes, the Louvre was once a palace, for those who didn't know that).
It's the time of the Terror, and things are not going well in Paris and France in general. The book is mainly concerned with Jacques-Louis David, who painted "The Death of Marat," one of the most famous paintings of the period (the book begins with David and Robespierre, to whom the artist hitched his star during this time, discussing the painting and what David was trying to do achieve), and his attempts to continue with the propaganda of the regime even as Robespierre, the architect of the Terror, made increasingly difficult demands on the painter's abilities. Robespierre wanted David to create a painting of a "supreme being" which would replace God in the people's hearts, because even Robespierre recognized the need for religion in a nation. Meanwhile, a young man who claims to be from "Khazaria" (which didn't exist in 1793 and hadn't existed for over 800 years) arrives in Paris and bewitches David, who eventually wants to use him as a model. The young man, Jules Stern, seems to be some kind of harbinger, claiming that the Revolution will eventually destroy Robespierre, which of course it did. It's never clear if Stern is more than human, but there's at least an implication that he is.
David is also tasked to paint Joseph Bara, a 13-year-old who managed to get into the army and was killed by Breton royalists. Robespierre and the Convention wanted to turn him into a martyr of the Revolution, so they turned to David. As David grew increasingly frustrated with his attempts to paint the "supreme being," he found in Jules a perfect model for Bara. Then Jules is guillotined, but David finds his body and uses it to complete his painting. It's a particularly horrific scene as he and his assistants stitch Jules's corpse together so that David can finish the work. Meanwhile, of course, his depiction of the "supreme being" helps bring about Robespierre's downfall, a fate that David narrowly escaped. His painting of Joseph Bara, of course, lives on.
What's fascinating about the comic is the way Yslaire shows how David and even the French people desire something greater than themselves to believe in.
They turn a palace into a "people's museum," Robespierre tries to establish a "religion of logic," David ignores the creation of a supreme being because he has found Jules to represent that supreme being for him, and even at the end, David's assistants comment that he found a new supreme being – Napoleon (David, of course, painted this famous scene of Napoleon crossing the Alps). David's desperate desire to find something to believe in is mirrored by the French, as they tumultuously veer from one despot to another, slaughtering the old in fickle fashion to make room for the new. Jules Stern, the symbol of innocence in the comic, is killed and then resurrected in grotesque mockery of Jesus, but David can't see how monstrous this action is because all that matters to him is the beauty of the sublime, and if he has to create a Frankenstein's monster out of his model, so be it. Yslaire, wisely, doesn't comment on David's horrific actions, mainly because it needs no overt condemnation. By focusing on what David does when in the throes of the Terror, Yslaire is able to move from the general mood of the populace during this time to the specific horrors they perpetrated. This is a comic about the limits of art and what people go through to create art, both in painting and, as the revolutionaries attempted, in government. David and Robespierre never let the messiness of humanity get in their way of creating something beautiful, and they are far more monstrous for it.
Yslaire's art is quite excellent, as he incorporates several actual paintings into the narrative (a list is found at the end of the book) to show how the revolutionaries tried to change the art of the ancien régime. The paintings are blended nicely into the book, and Yslaire is very good at showing how the ideal world of the paintings contrasts with the base world of the Terror. He does this early on with the portrait of Madame Charles-Louis Trudaine, whose painting is far more attractive than the woman herself.
There's nothing new in this, of course, but it shows how David distorts reality, which he does in far more sinister fashion with Jules Stern (and, of course, later with Napoleon, who crossed the Alps on a mule, not the great horse that David paints). Yslaire does a very good job showing that the people of the Revolution are, naturally, just people, and artists like David turn them into immortal beings. The coloring of the book is done well, too, as Yslaire keeps things relatively dull, allowing the paintings to stand out. He adds nice splashes of color – mostly red – throughout the book, symbolizing both the tricolor and the blood of the Terror. It's a beautiful book, bringing Yslaire's ideas to fruition quite nicely.
The Sky Over the Louvre is only 66 pages long, which for 20 bucks might be a bit much for you. It's a large hardcover, though, and it's quite dense, so there's that. I liked it far more than the first "Louvre edition" that I got a few years ago (I missed the second one), for what that's worth. It's an impressive book about a horrific time in history, and Yslaire has done a nice job making the actions of the mob a bit more comprehensible. Whenever something terrible occurs, we struggle to understand it. The Sky Over the Louvre doesn't explain it all, but it does show one reason why the Revolution went so horribly wrong. Plus, it's a creepy psychological drama, which is always cool to read.

A Leeds United fan has attacked Sheffield Wednesday's goalkeeper Chris Kirkland during tonight's game at Hillsborough.
The thug, believed to be Aaron Cawley, ran on the pitch from the away end before pushing the former England goalkeeper in the face, knocking him to the ground. (See below)
Leeds United manager Neil Warnock said he was "embarrassed" to be manager of the club.
"I thought it was an absolute disgrace. They should get the guy, prosecute him, put him in prison," said Warnock.
"I'm not proud to be Leeds manager when I see that," Warnock continued.
The 31-year-old goalkeeper was able to finish the game but Wednesday manager Dave Jones said the player was "sore", "dazed" and "maybe concussed" in the dressing room.
Jones said of Leeds fans: "They should be banned from every away ground if they're going to behave like that."
John Mann, Labour MP for Bassetlaw and Leeds fan told the BBC: "I was at the game supporting Leeds as I have done for over 40 years. Both sets of fans were disgraceful. A sizeable group within each were coming out with relentless, abusive chanting. It's sad. There is no question that Leeds should be banned from having away fans for a match. The collective crowd did not hand over this thug after he returned to his seat. There are people there who know him and they should be banned. That stand where the Sheffield Wednesday fans were rioting should also be shut for a match."
Leeds United moved quickly to issue a statement:
"Leeds United Football Club would like to publicly apologise and condemn the action of the fan who came on the pitch and attacked Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland.
"The club will fully co-operate with the police and the football authorities in identifying the individual concerned.
"After the week football has endured there is no place for this type of behaviour and the majority of Leeds supporters will be ashamed of his actions."

We saw it as a really important part of bringing kids up that they see other places and cultures. In 1998, I took eight months off and we lived in three little villages in Europe for six weeks each. My eldest daughter had just done her HSC and my youngest was in Year 3.
They still say that it is the best experience they've ever had. Hanging out with each other for eight months, learning about village life, it's the best decision I ever made.
What was your motivation for doing that?
DK: Generally in Australia our kids live a charmed life. Travelling gives them an appreciation of what we have here and not to be insular. Life is not about the material things; it's about the immaterial experiences and special moments.
Do you collect souvenirs?
DK: We always bring something little home.
Any favourites?
DK: Lib blew up a photo that I took of an iceberg in Antarctica and we put it on the wall. The light was just perfect, it was just one of those fluke shots. I look at it now and go wow, somebody else could have taken that (laughs).
Top of your travel list?
DK: To do the Inca trail.
I've done Kokoda and Kili (Kilimanjaro) twice. I like trekking. And the Inca is probably at the top of both Lib's and my list. We're actually thinking of doing that next year.
Is it about challenging yourself physically or is it more of a spiritual thing?
DK: It's more of a spiritual thing - and learning. You don't do Kokoda for the physical side, you do it for the history and trying to figure where the Aussie spirit came from. You get a sense of it after doing Kokoda. With Kili it was this awe-inspiring mountain, climbing the roof of Africa, you experience four climatic zones going up from glaciers to rainforests, it's pretty extraordinary.
Has anything gone wrong on your travels?
DK: I remember when we were in Hungary, travelling on a tollway. I got so confused at the pay point that I put my credit card in the slot but you were meant to put a token or something in. All of a sudden these loud sirens went off and blokes jumped out with guns and the whole thing. It's part of the fun of travelling I guess.
Is there anything you can't travel without?
DK: An iPad.
CP: What's travel taught you? DK: Tolerance, acceptance and that sense of community - an appreciation of how wonderful people are.
