Dana Milbank on Roland Burris's trip to the Senate.
The Kicker
01:29 PM - January 7, 2009
"Roland Burris (D-Blagojevich)"
- Comments Post a Comment
Most Americans view our government as a bunch of in-fighting boobs. The fact that Roland Burris accepted a senate seat; the fact that Blago appointed him; the fact that the senate flip-flops daily on the issue and the fact that the black caucus want him admitted (racist to the nth degree)further demonstrates that Americans are correct in their assessment!
Well, Blagojevich is not in position to appoint anybody for the position left by President Obama. This is the first time that a governor of the state has been impeached, and one of the few governors of any state to be impeached. Blagojevich was arrested on charges of conspiracy to auction off the vacant Senate seat that belonged to now President Barack Obama. The price he seemed to demand for other political favors is an amount so huge, no amount of payday loans could buy it. Check out this article to learn about payday loans or more on the Blagojevich impeachment.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Jonas Valanciunas bigger, stronger heading into sophomore NBA season
TORONTO - Jonas Valanciunas was knocked about by some of the biggest and best centres in the league in an inauspicious start to his NBA career.
Roy Hibbert, Brook Lopez, Al Jefferson, Kevin Garnett — no matter the night, it was going to be a long one for the Toronto Raptors rookie.
And as Valanciunas's debut went, so went the Raptors, it seems.
"Jonas took his whuppin' last year early," said Raptors coach Dwane Casey. "We were 3 and 19 (to start the season). (Opponents) saw something good to eat with a rookie at centre. That had something to do with our points in the paint, our rim protection. . ."
But the growth of the young Lithuanian over the course of the season became one of Casey's biggest sources of pride in a campaign he otherwise didn't have a lot to be thrilled about.
"He had to learn. We knew that going in, that it was going to be ugly," Casey said. "But as the year went on you could see a young man growing, and it continued through this summer. It's not a finished product yet but he's getting there and I really like what we have."
What Casey has is a stronger, more confident Valanciunas, whose command of English is also much improved from a year ago — evident in his attempt at rapping when asked on media day for his favourite Drake song.
"Started from the bottom now we're here," Valanciunas said in his Lithuanian accent, prompting much laughter.
But Valanciunas, who's considered a huge piece of the franchise's future after the Raptors selected him with their No. 5 pick in the 2011 draft, has been otherwise all business in his approach to his sophomore season.
The seven-foot centre has put on weight. He's noticeably broader across the chest, his arms are thicker. Lithuanian national team coach Kestutis Kemzura went so far as to say Valanciunas had put on too much weight.
"His coach is a great coach, does a great job," Casey said of Kemzura. "But his gradual increasing his weight will be good for him. We're not trying to rush him to get bigger, just maintain his strength. He's got some obstacles to go against in the paint, and if you don't have some girth. . . you're in for trouble. He's learning to play with that extra weight right now so we're not concerned about it."
The 21-year-old Valanciunas made 57 starts for Toronto last season, averaging 8.9 points and 6.0 rebounds. His field goal percentage, rebounds and blocks ranked among the league's top-three for rookies.
He went on to shine for the Raptors in the Las Vegas Summer League, winning tournament MVP honours, and then helped Lithuania to its first Euroleague final in 10 years.
He's healthy this camp, after a calf injury sidelined him for last year's camp. And his teammates say the changes in the big Lithuanian from last season are obvious.
"He's extremely tanned right now. I don't know where that came from," joked Landry Fields. "He's looking a lot bigger, a lot stronger, and more comfortable this year.
"With him toward the end of the season last year, you could really see him get comfortable with who he is, and his role on the team, and I think with more practice, and the pre-season, what we saw toward the end of last year will come along at the beginning of this year."
Valanciunas continues to take English classes and Fields said the improvement in his ability to communicate with teammates has been huge.
"That is definitely something that will help him in his comfort level, and us with him, when we try to explain something, he's understanding. That just takes his learning curve that much higher," Fields said. "As soon as he gets it down pat to where it's almost kind of slang, then we'll really be getting somewhere. Looking forward to that."
Valanciunas isn't ready to talk about his rate of improvement, preferring to say he still has a long way to go.
"If I'm not going to work nothing is going to happen," he said, when asked for his thoughts on being the future of the franchise. "It depends how I work, and how is going to be my learning process. I'm not thinking 'Now I'm a future star.' I know I'm a simple guy, and I have to work really hard to one day be a star."
Former NBA all-star and Toronto native Jamaal Magloire is helping him put in that work in a training camp all the big men say has been physically intense thus far.
"Huge," Casey said on Magloire's role. "He beats the crap out of J.V. every day. He gets him used to the contact.
"We have some two-on-one drills where (Magloire) still gets in there and cracks people, they know it's not like a little coach in there with pads on, it's a real seven-foot guy who will knock you on your butt if you don't come in the right way. Jamaal does a great job of that, he's still in shape, and he's done a heck of a job of being a vocal and physical mentor to a lot of our inside players."
The Raptors train Thursday in Toronto before departing for Halifax for two days.

Valachi shakes his head, "Give me something physical that I can get my claws into. These spirits... I cannot confront."
Yaaay! Post 1000!
Congratulations all on 1000 posts! It has been a very enjoyable 9 months getting this far. Thanks everyone; keep up the great work!
Kendra puts in, "I've not really used any of my true magic yet, only cantrips, but as it is for you," she indicates the fighters, "there has been little here upon which to work. Most of the time we do not even know what we are walking into until it is upon us!"
Riff's face is stark and white, "I never care if I never here the name of this place ever again! Do we not have what we need? The spirits here are mad with strife! Surely it must be what has been afflicting the town. Let us return and tell the council as much!"
"I have one spell remaining me, as well as the ability to declare Iomadae's judgement on a foe. If we indeed meet one that can be bested by force of arms, it will lend me strength for the battle."
"However, I too am wounded. I feel like that cold robbed the strength directly from my flesh. I think it will take more than common healing to restore me. I can press on a bit further, but I think our limit may be approaching. For this day at least."
He fumbles as well, pulling out the wand in his belt, and touching it upon Ember. CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
"We still have much to learn here. There is a sinister power in play, but we still don't know what killed Lorrimor. I say continue in, for now."
To Kendra, Val adds, "I've not been much use as a bodyguard."
Ember stands and channels, giving healing to the group. Healing Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6
"We can press onward a bit more, but I feel Zhan is correct, we have almost exausted our ability to find an answer today." "I am sorry Riff, but so far, the haunts here are ones tied to this spot. You saw how the haunt here could not even leave this room. If there is something here affecting the town, it lies deeper within."
15/15 HP 0/7 Channels 1/4 1st level spells
Zhan 17/20 HP
"Your claws were a great help against those skulls, and I don't think we would have been nearly as successful against that scythe without Agnar's sword. No, the range of challenges here does seem to be diverse, but I would not want to be here without either of you. We should search this chamber for clues. Hopefully we can find a way to put this haunt to rest so we need not have to deal with it again.
As he has suggested, Zhan moves out into the chamber to begin a thorough search. Taking 20; with the size of the chamber he'll need help of course, lest we be here for hours..
Kendra puts a hand on Valachi's arm, "As I told you all upon the day we met, I am not a doll. I can look after myself. That being said I am still very glad each and every one of you is here. My father would be so proud! I think Zhan is right though Valachi; the threats here are diverse, and I imagine we will face physical foes soon enough. Let us aid Zhan in the search. If this cold is as draining as he says, then we do not want to have to endure it every time we cross this room. Keep in mind to bear a lookout as well for other clues to our mission; ties to Ravengro and the purpose the Whispering Way had in coming here."
Presumably, the group spreads out and conducts a close search of the room. The doors exiting the room are like those that barred your entrance, and look similarly like they could be as easily forced. No one does so of course, for fear of provoking something new before this room is dealt with, and until a choice of doors is made by the team. The benches are old, and some are burned, broken, or rotted, from the ancient fire, time, and the penetrating moisture of the pond that begins in the room next door. The search of a room this size does take some time, and some thirty minutes pass before all are satisfied that there is nothing new to be learned. Unfortunately, nothing results from the search that was not known at its outset. There is nothing hidden in this chamber, and no sign of what might have tied the spirits of cold to it.
Riff states the obvious question when all are regathered at the open end of the room, "Well, now what do we do?
Valachi nods shyly to Kendra, then moves to assist Zhan with the search. After turning up nothing, he points to the door off stage right. "I think we know its flooded, but a quick look there before we move on?"
Kendra replies, "Are we giving up on defusing this haunt then?"
Val shrugs, "Any ideas?" He looks around to the others for suggestions.
Delia also shrugs at the question, "I have no idea how to deal with these things. I have the vial here, but I don't think it works if the haunt is inactive. I am ready, however, for the next time one of these things pops up." She brandishes the vial held firmly before her.
"Sorry, but I do not have any ideas," Ember replies. "Maybe if I could study more of the lore of this place..."
Kendra interjects, somewhat cautiously, "We have the spirit planchette; we could ask the spirits thhemselves what would ease their torment..."
"Why yes, that would work. But we would only have one question, so we should decide what we will ask first."
Kendra continues, "Unfortunately, yes. And the question needs to be one that can be answered with a yes, no, maybe, or a single word answer. It will be hard to find out what we need to do in order to put them to rest with those limitations... I have heard that sometimes it is possible to communicate with spirits in other ways as well, so perhaps once we have their attention..."
"Does anyone have suggestions on what our question should be?"
Valachi's brow furrows as he thinks out loud, slowly. "Well, the fire furnace ghost thing took cooling off in the water to release it. This one bursts freezing cold... but we haven't found anything like the bones we found in the furnace..." He sigh, frustrated.
Kendra looks around during the long silence, and at the blank faces that stare back at her, "Um, ok, no concreate ideas. Valachi might have a point though; if the last haunt was settled by cooling, maybe the key to this one has something to do with heat. We could ask if the spirits desire heat...?"
"Light a fire or maybe get some warm clothing? " Agnar suggests.
Sorry I could not get on the site for awhile.
I had the same problem earlier. I couldn't get any Paizo page to load from about 7 am till around 4pm. Seemed like the site was down.
Kendra asked Delia for the spirit Planchette (I believe that was who was carrying it last), and presuming that she hands it over with no objection, Kendra takes it over to the Podium and places it down on the top surface.
The kit contains a thin wooden board, with the words 'Yes' 'No' and 'Maybe' writer across the top, with all the letters and numbers of the common tongue written out beneath. The Planchette itself is a brass piece with a hollow in the center and an arrow indicating that whatever is visible within that window is the focus of the Planchette's attention.
Kendra places her hands on the brass piece and closes her eyes, moving the planchette randomly around the board. Soon however, you see her muscles relax, and the planchette appears to be moving itself around the board, in a slow exploratory style.
Kendra's voice is low and steady when she speaks, "Hear me spirits; those trapped and suffering in this room. Hear me, we wish to lay you to rest, but we need your help to tell us how. Hear and answer my question: Is warmth what you desire?"
The Planchette moves slowly, but settles over the word, 'Yes.'
Her fingers not really placing much pressure on the planchette, Kendra is a bit surprised when it stops moving of its own accord. It thumbs to the lower edge of the slanted podium surface, stopped by the lip placed their to hold papers from falling to the floor.
Kendra moves a stray strand of hair back towards her bun, and returns the planchette and the board to the box. "So, we have a clue. How do we provide these spirits with the warmth they desire? I don't think anything so simple as a fire will suffice; after all, this building was destroyed by fire. If there were bones like in the furnace, I would suggest we take them to a forge or some such, but as there are not... Perhaps if we had a vessel of some sort in which to transport them?"
Just as she is finishing speaking, the podium and the benches in the room begin to rattle for a moment, as though in an earthquake; though the floor you are all standing on remains perfectly still.
"I would say the spirit wants us to burn these benches and podium," Ember comments, stating the obvious. "Agnar, Valachi, Zhan; if you could gather them together?" She reaches for a bench herself, and begins to drag it towards another.
As the podium shakes, Delia lets out an EEP of surprise, before she grabs the vial in both hands, ready to unstopper it. Looking around, waiting for the sign of the spirit's return, she looks to Father, "Help them with furniture, would you please?"
Delia is ready with the vial in case it manifests again.
As Ember reaches for a bench it scoots away a few inches on one end, leaving subtly beyond the reach of her fingers. She could easily reach a bit further to grab it, but the movement seemed deliberately timed.
Agnar moves to pick up a bench so he can start a pile.
Ember pauses, and contimplates her actions. "Perhaps not burn the benches, but bless them?" she wonders aloud.
No response from anything in the room.
Valachi makes a deliberate attempt to grab the jumping bench.
The bench is not jumping. It merely moved perhaps two inches along the floor; just far enough to be out of the range of Ember's fingers.
Valachi moves beside Ember and deliberately extends his hand to grab the bench. Again it scoots perhaps an inch away, but he is able to lay his hand on it without difficulty.
Val lifts the bench, looking at the underside.
"Or perhaps burn just the podium?" Ember ventures a guess. She turns and reaches for the podium.
Valachi - You lift the bench and examine the underside. There is nothing unusual about it. It is an old, worn, wooden bench with no back.
Ember V- There is no response at the verbalized question, but when you reach for the podium, it rattles a little bit as if to discourage the action.
Kendra pipes in, "The spirits here certainly seem to be trying to communicate. Perhaps we just need a way to help them make their wishes more clear." She raises her voice a little and addresses the room, "Spirits? Can you understand me?" The benches and podium rattle in response. "Can you rattle once for a 'Yes' and twice for 'No'?" The furniture rattles again, then after a long pause it rattles once again, pauses and rattles again. Kendra turns and smiles at the rest of the group.
"Spirits, do you wish a small fire to warm you without burning the furniture in this room?" Ember quiries.
Valachi slowly puts the bench down. By the look on his face, he seems unsure whether to be horrified or to laugh.
After Ember's question there is a rattle, a pause, and then another rattle.
"Would you want us to burn the podium?" Ember asks next.
Come on people. I'm not the only one who can offer suggestions.
Two rattles.
What Ember said.
Kendra says, "Do you want another sort of fire?"
Riff gets in on it and asks, "You want heat, but not fire?"
One Rattle.
"Try ask if blankets would be okay since they do not seem to want fire or maybe hides?." Agnar suggests to Ember and Kendra.
Kendra gives Agnar a wry look, "I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, Agnar. Spirits? Why... damnit, I wish they could just answer that." She turns to the others present. "They want heat, but not fire. Why would they want that, and how would we provide it for them. There are no bones here, so we have nothing physical to use to represent the spirits. Spirits? Do you require a proxy or a vessel of some sort? An object to represent your travel from this place?"
One rattle.
Agnar shrugs "They said they wanted heat."
"Maybe we can find a winter blanket, or old lantern... I don't know." Valachi shrugs. "Should we move on and return?"
Delia is confused by the whole exchange, she looks back and forth between both sides the men with their literal ideas and the women with their clarifications, nodding in agreement as each speaks. "What if we are looking at this too black and white? What about heat or warmth, in a not real sense. What about the warmth of compassion, the heat of a body held close, the fire of love? Maybe they just feel the cold of loss and regret." she asks, with eyebrows raised, as if she wants someone to agree so she doesn't feel ridiculous for asking.
We will experiment here with a modest time split, for starters, to see how it goes. The group has reported that they would like to continue until they have one more encounter, so I will keep that in mind. Valachi had indicated that he wanted to explore the room in the North West corner (bottom right on the map) next, so I will make that the next accessed room. When you are posting actions and responses, please make sure to address in which room you are taking said action. Things happening in the current room will be considered to have happened prior to moving into the next room, so you may declare actions in both rooms if you please.
The Next Room
"Might be that we need to locate a key to get through. A bit of smash might work, but I think we should try keeping our presence low profile, if we can." Valachi tries to recall any passages or other doors we've skipped.
In the Auditorium: "I would guess that they just want warmth without a fire. Do we have some object that we could heat up to give them?"
Next Room.
"Seems to be a good idea." Agnar says after hearing Valachi.
The next room
"Shall we try the door on the opposite side then? It appears to of a more common construction. We should note this room though; such a sturdy door is likely to con eal something of note."
Can you repost the current map, please?
Of course.
Auditorium Progress
I apologize for any slow down of postings lately on my part; I am leaving work to go visit family for a week, and so I have been doing all the necessary prep to account for my absence next week. I'll be driving all day tomorrow, but I will have internet where I am staying, so I should be able to continue posting throughout.
"I would guess that they just want warmth without a fire. Do we have some object that we could heat up to give them?"
After Ember says this, there is an immediate single rattle, and then silence.
Zhan notes the response from the room, "I don't believe I have anything like that. I could heat up a shell casing from my gun easily enough, but it is very small, and not likely to stay hot long." He pulls one of the bullets from his belt, and holds it up to demonstrate the size.
There are two rattles in response.
Riff pipes in, "There was a lot of metal in the last room, and plenty of wood in here for fuel. There may also be some what's usable in the coal shoot. We could start up a fire in the furnace, a heat up one of them hunks of iron. Would that be better?
A single rattle answers.
"Is that it? Will that give you rest?" Kendra puts in.
A rattle, a pause, and then a second.
I've reached my destination. My wifi is working, so I'll be checking in regularly.
Auditorium "Then we shall do that," Ember decides. "Riff, can you gather up the needed items to do so. I will assist you."

Dinner is defined as the largest meal of the day, often eaten in the evening after you have already had breakfast and lunch.noun
An example of dinner is when you go out to a restaurant at 7:00 PM and eat a meal.
YourDictionary definition and usage example. Copyright © 2013 by LoveToKnow Corp.
- the main meal of the day, whether eaten in the evening or about noon
- a banquet in honor of some person or event
- a complete meal at a set price with no course omitted; table d'hôte
Origin: ME diner < OFr disner, inf. used as n.: see dine
Used by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
- a. The chief meal of the day, eaten in the evening or at midday.b. A banquet or formal meal in honor of a person or event.c. The food prepared for either of these meals.
- A full-course meal served at a fixed price; table d'hôte.
Origin: Middle English diner, morning meal, from Old French disner, diner, to dine, morning meal; see dine.
Word History: Eating foods such as pizza and ice cream for breakfast may be justified etymologically. In Middle English dinner meant "breakfast," as did the Old French word disner, or diner, which was the source of our word. The Old French word came from the Vulgar Latin word *disiūnāre, meaning "to break one's fast; that is, to eat one's first meal," a notion also contained in our word breakfast. The Vulgar Latin word was derived from an earlier word, *disiēiūnāre, the Latin elements of which are dis-, denoting reversal, and iēiūnium, "fast." Middle English diner not only meant "breakfast" but, echoing usage of the Old French word diner, more commonly meant "the first big meal of the day, usually eaten between 9 A.M. and noon." Customs change, however, and over the years we have let the chief meal become the last meal of the day, by which time we have broken our fast more than once.

Social networking 'top malware source'
Dubai, October 9, 2010
Increased usage of social networking sites and growth of smartphones are among the main targets for cybercrime, said WatchGuard Technologies, a global leader of business security solutions.
"Organisations need to plan for the future," said Corey Nachreiner, senior security analyst at WatchGuard.
"Our top 10 security threats provide companies an idea of the type of threats that can be expected in the coming year, and helps plan the defenses, accordingly," he added.
The top 10 security threats list social networking sites as the number one malware source. This is followed by third-party programs, governments to create secret attack bots, growth of smart phones, data loss prevention, Windows 7, cloud computing, signature-only solutions, Mac threats and popular search engines.
"We have predicted a couple of relevant trends for 2010, which, we believe should not be neglected in 2011 and moving forward," Nachreiner concluded. – TradeArabia News Service

The discourse of betrayal
What is wrong in SA is extremely clear and the issues are, in fact, posed by the Zuma regime itself, writes Mathew Blatchford.
The salient feature of South African politics is the separation of political activity from the lived experience of most South Africans. This is what is usually called "normality", because this is the common feature of all neoliberal societies. Public opinion polls have shown an immense and growing separation between what the people want and what the elites want.
None of this is grounds for singling out South Africa for criticism. Indeed, the despicable, incompetent and corrupt Zuma administration is one of the less odious governments on the neoliberal scene at the moment. Most of the critiques of the Zuma regime are based on spurious comparisons with other neoliberal governments or with the far more neoliberal and plutocratic Democratic Alliance. Thus, most such critiques actually are demanding that conditions be made worse.
What is wrong in South Africa is extremely clear and the issues are, in fact, posed by the Zuma regime itself: inequality, unemployment and poverty, all of them increasing even by the regime's measurements (and far more by honest assessment).
When a regime correctly identifies huge problems, which it then proceeds systematically to exacerbate, the conclusion is inescapable: there is a huge divide between what the regime really wants and what it knows that the people want, and therefore it has to pretend to have an intention (the service of the people) when its real intention is very different (the service of a small elite).
Political disempowerment and economic exploitation were the core complaints raised throughout the colonial and apartheid eras, which leads one to frame the question: What has happened to suppress or co-opt the South African political tradition of discourse and organisation to pursue liberation from these situations?
Instead, we are confronted with a discourse of betrayal: certain individuals have betrayed the traditions of the movement, the culture of the community, or the interests of the workers.
Related to this discourse is the discourse of corruption, which is the same discourse translated into language comprehensible by a community that has no lived experience of liberatory politics.
In both instances, the discourse takes real, existing things – the betrayal of a historic order by political leaders or leaders' tolerance of corrupt practices – and instead of using these things to shed light on circumstances turns them into absolute, fetishised entities beyond which it is not necessary to go. In the old days when there were still Marxists, this was called reification: turning what is actually a possibly useful abstract concept into a thing that is supposedly concrete and by doing so stripping the concept of its use value.
I wonder whether the seductions of reification represent what has happened to the South African liberatory movement? One notices terms such as "neoliberalism" and "revolution", or indeed "democracy" and "developmentalism", thrown about without context or substance.
For the 10 years before the ANC was taken over by neoliberals in December 2007, its critics pointed to the strong strand of neoliberalism in the movement and claimed that it was the whole movement. This enabled them to transform the real problem (South Africa's relations of production in the post-apartheid period) into a false problem – "the wrong people are in charge".
Thus not only political leaders who stood to gain by a neoliberal palace coup but also intellectuals who stood to gain much less were seduced into changing the subject away from intractable socioeconomic problems into easily solved problems of party political leadership. Official public discourse focuses on convenient symbols that hang in political space without any connections to broader political problems.
These symbols should be treated as symptoms of a broader political disease. A clearly disastrous example of it was the treatment of the Marikana massacre, in regard to which all parties involved have gone out of their way to ignore or excuse the culpability of the mining industry. Doubtless many are afraid of the industry's power and many are also too lazy to do more than fit the catastrophe into an already existing narrative, but it may also be that the habit of refusing to make any serious analysis of any event is too strong to break.
None of the symbols worshipped by the intelligentsia has been taken up by South Africans outside the petit bourgeoisie. Nobody believes what politicians say any more. The country is not in a revolutionary situation but it is definitely ripe for massive change. What we lack is any kind of credible leadership or any debate around what form such change might take. – Mathew Blatchford, Fort Hare

The URI! Zone - 07/2004
Bad Santa is the most bitterly cynical movie I've seen in a long time. Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Bernie Mac, and John Ritter, it tells the story of a foul-mouthed alcoholic and his midget friend who works as a mall Santa each year, and then robs the mall on Christmas Eve. I thought it was great but you may not if you have any piety for the holiday season. There are no deep meaningful messages or parables, but there are some incredibly funny scenes. If you too are cynical, you will like this movie.
Mega Man Anniversary Collection is on sale at Target for $26 through Saturday. It contains the first 8 Mega Man games from the 80s and 90s, and is a great port although you can't remap the rather strange control scheme they devised (B is jump and A is shoot, contrary to every video game ever made). I only played a couple Mega Mans as a kid, but I remember them as incredibly frustrating but continuously addictive.

Last night I started tearing out a door frame and shelves to create a bar in my basement. The door frame (which was peculiar to begin with because there was no door or room associated with it) was much easier than expected to remove, because it was hollow underneath the trim. Once I had pried the first side of trim off, I could just hit it with a hammer a few times to get the rest off.

It's time for another weekend. I'll be heading down to William and Mary for another wedding; this time Jason and Rosie. I should be back early on Sunday morning sometime. No updates on Saturdays and no updates on Saturdays with weddings, so no updates, by induction.
More people should be as ingenious as this.Bad cat. BAD.
I went to Rosie & Jason's wedding in the Wren Chapel at William and Mary this Saturday. Because the wedding wasn't until 5, I left Northern Virginia at about 9:30 and didn't arrive in Williamsburg (a scant 160 miles away) until 1:30 in the afternoon. The trip back was early on Sunday morning so I made it back in only two hours after a brief stop at IKEA in Woodbridge.
If you haven't been to IKEA in awhile, it's turned into a furniture theme park of sorts, where you go on a guided tour of the store while stopping at KitchenLand and BedroomLand and so forth. If it weren't an hour away in normal weekend traffic, I'd go there for all my home furnishing needs.

Anyone seen the show, Crossballs, on Comedy Central? It's on Tuesday through Thursday at 7:30 and pairs up supposedly real experts and comedians pretending to be experts in debates on hot topics.

Good stuff. Comedy Central can be hit or miss -- Reno 911 is occasionally funny and their new talk show with the guy who exudes annoyance from his pores and the scariest looking women actress in modern times looks unwatchable.

But the U.S. government accused him of violating U.N. sanctions against Yugoslavia by playing the match there.The US has stressed it will seek the extradition of an alleged army deserter when he travels to Japan for health care.
However, a few days later, he was shipped back to the United States to face the cowardice charge, the first such case since the Vietnam War. Conviction on the charge can result in the death penalty.
Incidentally, I think that the death penalty is a wonderful positive influence on fighting troops. "Go out there and get killed or we'll kill you back home!"

There's nothing to say today. Have a good weekend and I'll post some new pictures next week.
The weekend was a pretty productive one. On Friday night we went out an watched The Bourne Supremacy, which was about as good as the original. The theatre was sold out and we ended up in the front, and the hyperkinetic handheld camera filming effect, which is very in these days, did not make for very intelligible car chases, but it was fine as long as no one was prone to motion sickness. Afterwards, we came back and shot some pool until late.
On Saturday and Sunday, I spent some time working in the basement and also got through some more reading of my new books. I also went grocery shopping at the nearest Shoppers Food Warehouse, where they've recently installed a security camera over every cashier line. Strangely, the cameras are all pointed at the cashiers and not the customers...

On Sunday night, we finally watched Master and Commander: The Far Side of Title Verbosity, which started slowly and got a little better as time passed.

I had another work-related barbeque on Monday night. The weather held up just long enough to cook a bunch of hamburgers, and it's been gloomy and rainy ever since.

Brazil's Rousseff: Obama took responsibility for NSA spying
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept 6

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, angered by a recent report that the U.S. government spied on her communications, said on Friday that President Barack Obama had taken responsibility for what happened and that she may still proceed with a planned visit to Washington next month.
Rousseff, speaking to reporters following a one-on-one meeting with Obama on the sidelines of an international summit in Russia late on Thursday, said the U.S. president had agreed to respond formally to the spying allegations by next Wednesday.
"My trip to Washington depends on the political conditions to be created by President Obama," said Rousseff, according to the official Twitter feed of Brazil's presidency.

Two Toronto men are facing fraud charges after New Brunswick RCMP seized counterfeit credit cards and a variety of electronic equipment from their vehicle Friday.
On Friday, Codiac RCMP pulled over a vehicle the men were driving in Moncton. In a news release, police said the two men were spotted trying to purchase gift cards earlier in the day.
Police said they believe the pair may have used the fake cards at gas bars and stores throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Li Yi, 31, and Puyuan Guan, 21, will appear in Moncton provincial court on Monday.

Did you really mean to say this? How else do you stop "bad people" if not by passing laws and then enforcing them. Google can only do what the law in the US requires.
Passing laws to stop bad people is stupid.

A statement from the official Zorro website says he will be slashing and swiping his way onto the Wii in an exclusive: The Destiny of Zorro.
The game is penned for a Christmas release this year and developed by Pronto Games. Zorro Productions say the graphics and audio are "high quality". With such bold claims, who could doubt them?
Master Foot said:
We don't need Mr. Obvious to tell us that the wiimote will be used as Zorro's sword. Controlling his witty banter will be the real challenge.
Gonzo said:
That sounds interesting.

Godfather. Scarface. Zorro. Nintendo is bringing back all the good games! And with the wiimote it's going to be greater than ever.
hmm said:
I don't really know about this one. I didn't like that movie they made some time ago about it.
Elementrat said:
Sounds like a sub-par, generic licensed game to me. Unless the devlopers actually put some time and effort into it instead of trying to make a quick buck off the franchise. If they did a good job with the sword fighting, it might be worth 50 bucks just to be able to slash the sword around. I'm still waiting for a perfect 1:1 sword fighting game (I think we all are). It may never actually come, but we can always hope.
Wii Rox said:
We need a 1:1 sword fighting game where it mimics your every swing. Don't know if Zorro has that much potential.

Beginning Friday, July 20, 21 restaurants throughout the community will offer diners special menus and deals to those who mention they are participating in Grosse Pointe Restaurant Week 2012.
It is the first Restaurant Week in the Pointes, Executive Director Jennifer Boettcher said. While such events have been popular other places, the Grosse Pointes have never done one, she said.
The closest thing was the Chamber's Cuisine Cruise, during which participants were driven to a selected list of local restaurants for a strolling meal. The cruise has been done for the last few years and always happened in one night.
Both events are aiming to promote the local restaurants but also to encourage residents and others to try out a restaurant they otherwise might skip or didn't know about.
The week will replace this year's cruise, Boettcher said, noting officials will gauge its success afterward to see whether it's worth doing again and possibly hosting it annually.
The following restaurants are participating:
- Super Suppers
Diners may take advantage of the Restaurant Week deals as many times as they'd like in the 10-day stretch. Reservations are not required but diners are encouraged to call the restaurant ahead of time.
All of the restaurants are offering a variety of menu items in a package, such as dinner for two. The menu for each restaurant as well as the rates for each deal are available on the Chamber's website.

Rockies Rumors: Iguchi, Grudzielanek, Rusch, Fukumori
UPDATE, 12-6-07 at 12:20am: Troy Renck says that if the Rox do acquire a second baseman, Dan O'Dowd is ready to trade both Clint Barmes and Jamey Carroll. The Cardinals, Marlins, and Indians would be suitors for those two.
FROM 12-5-07 at 10:09pm:
MLB.com's Thomas Harding checks in with a slew of new Rockies rumors.
- The Rockies have their eye on Tadahito Iguchi and could offer him a two-year deal. However, Iguchi is craving a contract similar to Kaz Matsui's three-year, $16.5MM pact. Should one bad contract beget another one?
- Mark Grudzielanek can be had, but the Rox aren't interested.
- The Rockies will take a gander at the suddenly popular Glendon Rusch.
- The Rox will pass on Kazuo Fukumori - they're worried about his elbow.

Dude i'm gonna give you some advice that will make your videos better or you can just think i'm talking shit and keep making these over and over.First off,i'm not trying to be mean but this sucked pretty hard.It was too short,it didn't make sense at all.The video size was too big so some of the bad guys and even the word bubbles(which were so badly written that i couldn't even read what they said) were out of the screen shot so you have no idea who he's hitting or what he's saying.If you fixed the video size,made the animation better and added alot more dialogue (spoken is usually better) then yo might have a nice entertaining little adventure for Willie D.Trust me,i'm not trying to be mean i'm just trying to get you to make something better so you can start getting higher ratings.Good luck homie.
okay i understand
I laughed, cried and went poo-poo.

Most people use words like "nasty," "mean" or "vicious" to describe defensive tackles. But Derrick Hopkins is none of those things.
Yet, despite his diminutive personality both on and off the field, Hopkins has emerged as a key cog in Virginia Tech's dominant defense.
"I'm a calm, cool, collected guy. I'm not really one to punch you out," Hopkins said. "In the past, I've gotten a little rowdy, but now I'm kind of chill and calm."
But a certain venom does lurk beneath the tackle's calm demeanor. Hopkins put on an absolute clinic against Georgia Tech, earning player of the game honors for his part in helping hold the Yellow Jackets to a paltry 129 rushing yards.
"He played lights out," said defensive line coach Charley Wiles. "Derrick is playing really well right now and it couldn't happen to a better guy."
Hopkins, or "Hop" as coaches and teammates affectionately call him, only recorded seven tackles on the day, but his overall effect in the game was monumental.
Georgia Tech's offense functions best when there's the threat of the quarterback or a running back running "dive" plays right at the defensive tackles. And Hopkins completely eliminated that element of the offense for the Jackets.
"The second half, that whole first drive I felt like I was moving well," Hopkins said. "The opportunities came to make tackles, so that's what I did."
Hopkins' ability to clog the line was most clearly on display during a crucial fourth down play early in the fourth quarter.
With the Hokies up by only a touchdown, the Jackets elected to go for it with two yards to go. Running back David Sims ran right up the middle, but he quickly found nowhere to go and Georgia Tech turned the ball over.
Defensive end James Gayle and linebacker Jack Tyler actually brought Sims to the ground, but it was Hopkins' effort on the interior that made the stop possible.
"(Defensive tackle Luther Maddy) and I just really clog the holes up and Jack and Gayle came and kind of got the tackle, but (Maddy) and I were big factors on plugging the holes and stopping it," Hopkins said. "I was pretty proud of it, we had a third down stop before that, so I was kind of pumped up."
Hopkins is referring to the previous play on the drive, where he wrapped up Sims for no gain to force the fourth down, another example of his physical dominance.
"He's got great quickness, lower body strength. He's hard to get off his feet, he's a player," Wiles said.
What makes Hopkins' dominance relatively surprising is his lack of overwhelming size. Although he weighs in at 311 pounds, he only stands six feet tall.
"I'm a little shorter than everybody else, I'm not 6'5" like some tackles, but I've got good leverage," Hopkins said.
The redshirt senior made expert use of that leverage against the Jackets' offensive line. Although Hopkins was regularly matched up with Georgia Tech's 6'3" center, Jay Finch, he was still disruptive all night long.
"When you get a 6'5" O-lineman, I've got to have good leverage to get my hands to the side," Hopkins said.
In addition to his strength, Hopkins has found success by learning how to control his emotions on the field.
"It comes with experience, I just know what kind of attitude I have to go into the game with," Hopkins said. "I might get a little antsy, but otherwise I'm just cool, calm."
However, that's not to say there isn't a place for emotion on the defensive side of the ball. In fact, he claims it's just the opposite.
"Emotions are a big part for the whole defense," Hopkins said. "Good defenses have good emotions, everybody's excited, everybody's trying to get amped up, because a quiet defense is a dead defense."
