Final Thoughts
I'd like to wish everyone in class a great trip to wherever you're going, be it Paris, Prague, London, Vietnam, Tanzania, Buenos Aires, Brazil, it sounds like it will be an amazing time. Also, I hope everyone keeps their blogs going, even part time, while they're abroad, especially since I'll be at the website at least once a week in this class's counterpart, "The Art of Travel."
Over the past few weeks, as I think I said in my free post, I've had the opportunity to look at the country I'm going to a much deeper degree than I would have otherwise. I think it was good to try and practice challenging assumptions here before doing in vis-à-vis some high level of culture shock (that I'm sure will occur anyhow). Certainly, it would be impossible to experience Germany in the same way that I will experience it over the next couple months but that isn't really my main concern here. I'm glad that I'm going abroad, and I think that the most important thing to have drawn out of this class, at least for me, are the tools with which I can make my travel/tourist experience more useful and become self-reflexive.
That said, I have two very different topics I'd like to talk about briefly for my final post that I find intriguing:
First, I don't know if any of you have heard about this Neonazi demonstration/march on Lichetenberg in Berlin, but essentially 600-700 militant Fascist marched to protest, as I understand it, the government not providing for their interests by doing such things as establishing funded community centers based on nationalist-identity and putting a ban on Middle Eastern immigration, especially as the economy sinks. What I don't understand here is what the Neonazis seek to accomplish through their neostruggle. While, it seems that they are more interested (at least at the moment) in using democracy to serve their goals and not necessarily over-throwing the democracy for a dictatorship that would attempt to make another empire through genocide, they still are using the same ideologies that Hitler used and that failed for him. Haven't we learned, yet, that scapegoating real economic crises onto already disadvantaged bodies makes no measurable amount of sense? Well, in fairness I guess we haven't learned that even in the United States… In any case, I guess I can't be so uncritical of how strongly I'd like to believe Germany, in totality, is entirely past its Nazi past, but I guess that's the nature of democratic hegemony: there will always be the alternate voice.
On a much, much lighter note, I also became interested in learning about German humor over the past couple of days. Someone had suggested to me that German humor was really strange and couldn't really be understood by Americans, and it reminded me of how a friend of mine would always say that any Hollywood comedies were markedly American in their humor. I don't really have much to relate this to except that my understanding of British and Canadian humor is much more dry than American humor, but still translates well.
Anyway, by doing a quick Google/Youtube search, I found a girl defending German humor by saying that absolutely anyone can watch some show entitled "Bernd das Brot" or "Bernd, the Loaf of Bread" and it would be hilarious even without subtitles. I found it rather off-putting, and that, while I did laugh, it was more out of trying to wrap my head around the idea of Germans using this as a defense of how universally-applicable their humor is.
UPDATE: While searching for that video to post the link again here, I found an explanation for it. It's meant to make fun of this scene. I don't know if it's famous or not, but I would guess that it was… although it is on a laugh-track which kind of signifies low production values

Last Updated: Friday - 09/24/2010Week of July 1, 2002Canada denies visas to WYD pilgrimsLatin American youth rejected because they're too poorBy Catholic News Service
"Many of these kids have made tremendous efforts to pay for their trip to Toronto."- Manuel Sarria |
"What kind of travelling record can young boys and girls have in Ecuador, even among the middle class?" asked Manuel Sarria, an Ecuadorian youth minister.
"Many of these kids have made tremendous efforts to pay for their trip to Toronto, and none of them are trying to hide they are not wealthy people. All they want is to see the pope," Sarria said.
In Peru, World Youth Day coordinators reported that almost one-third of some 300 requests for visas have been turned down by the Canadian Embassy in Lima.
"Most of the kids have been promoting activities and working for months to pay their trip to Toronto," said Father Antonio Ravina.
"We had to overcome many difficulties, including the shortage of flights to Toronto, the current economic crisis. When all the problems seemed solved, this is quite a significant roadblock," Ravina said.
In Colombia, diocesan representatives reported that more than 50 per cent of requests for visas have been denied.
Additionally, participants are being charged $120 as a visa fee even though World Youth Day participants were supposed to have their fees waived.
Paul Kilbertus, WYD spokesman, said, "Ultimately, the Canadian government decides who gets into Canada and who doesn't and we respect that."
The Canadian government has waived visa fees for World Youth Day participants, Kilbertus said.
"There have been reports of fees being charged in some countries, but that had to do with a breakdown in communications. For something like that, we can notify the Canadian government and the problem is usually corrected," he said.

About Us…
When the pioneering psychiatrist and family theorist Murray Bowen, MD died in 1990 he left an unprecedented collection of audio and video tapes, articles, letters, notes and paper records chronicling his quest to make the study of human behavior a science. This unsurpassed collection documents the history of a scientific idea and offers a historical view of the development and evolution of family therapy, led by the thinking and research of Murray Bowen, MD.
The Murray Bowen Archives Project of Leaders for Tomorrow is dedicated to collecting, archiving, indexing, preserving and making the materials of Murray Bowen, MD, available to scientists, scholars, historians, clinicians and the interested public. The bulk of the materials now reside at the National Library of Medicine, our important partner in this work.
Mission, Vision, and Goals
In 2008, Leaders for Tomorrow, a not for profit, formally assumed the task of The Murray Bowen Archives Project. Its vision is to give Bowen Theory to the world. Its mission is to contribute to making the Murray Bowen archives of NLM accessible by assisting NLM to reach its goal.
Leaders for Tomorrow has established the following goals:
- Promote, support and contribute to the preservation and processing of material in the collections comprising the Murray Bowen Archives
- Aid development of an Internet-based search and access capability
- Facilitate additions to the Archives
- Foster Archival-based scholarship and its dissemination
Our immediate task is to prepare the paper collection for public access. Work is centered on describing and cataloging these documents. Key to our success is raising the funds necessary to accomplish this goal.
Murray Bowen, M.D. directed his life energy in pursuit of a science of the human. His "odyssey toward science" dates to his early life experiences growing up and working on a small farm in rural Tennessee.

Most died at the very start of their young lives, tiny victims taken in a way not fit for anyone regardless of age. Others found their life's work in sheltering little ones, teaching them, caring for them, treating them as their own. After the gunfire ended Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the trail of loss was more than many could bear: 20 students and six adults at the school, the gunman's mother at home, and the gunman himself.
A glimpse of some of those who died:
They were supposed to be for the holidays, but finally on Friday, after hearing much begging, Charlotte Bacon's mother relented and let her wear the new pink dress and boots to school.
It was the last outfit the outgoing redhead would ever pick out. Charlotte's older brother, Guy, was also in the school but was not shot.
Her parents, JoAnn and Joel, had lived in Newtown for four or five years, JoAnn's brother John Hagen, of Nisswa, Minn., told Newsday.
"She was going to go some places in this world," Hagen told the newspaper. "This little girl could light up the room for anyone."
The images of Olivia Engel will live far beyond her short lifetime. There she is, visiting with Santa Claus, or feasting on a slice of birthday cake. There's the one of her swinging a pink baseball bat, and another posing on a boat. In some, she models a pretty white dress; in others, she makes a silly face.
Dan Merton, a longtime friend of the girl's family, says he could never forget the child, and he has much to say when he thinks of her.
"She loved attention," he said. "She had perfect manners, perfect table manners. She was the teacher's pet, the line leader."
On Friday, Merton said, she was simply excited to go to school and then return home and make a gingerbread house.
"Her only crime," he said, "is being a wiggly, smiley 6-year-old."
DAWN HOCHSPRUNG, 47, principal
Dawn Hochsprung's pride in Sandy Hook Elementary was clear. She regularly tweeted photos from her time as principal there, giving indelible glimpses of life at a place now known for tragedy. Just this week, it was an image of fourth-graders rehearsing for their winter concert; days before that, the tiny hands of kindergartners exchanging play money at their makeshift grocery store.
She viewed her school as a model, telling The Newtown Bee in 2010 that "I don't think you could find a more positive place to bring students to every day." She had worked to make Sandy Hook a place of safety, too, and in October, the 47-year-old Hochsprung shared a picture of the school's evacuation drill with the message "safety first." When the unthinkable came, she was ready to defend.
Officials said she died while lunging at the gunman in an attempt to overtake him.
"She had an extremely likable style about her," said Gerald Stomski, first selectman of Woodbury, where Hochsprung lived and had taught. "She was an extremely charismatic principal while she was here."
Dr. Matthew Velsmid was at Madeleine's house on Saturday, tending to her stricken family. He said the family did not want to comment.
Velsmid said that after hearing of the shooting, he went to the triage area to provide medical assistance but there were no injuries to treat.
"We were waiting for casualties to come out, and there was nothing. There was no need, unfortunately," he said. "This is the darkest thing I've ever walked into, by far."

- The Loss and Recovery of Truth
That the United States is currently in the midst of a serious crisis, even an ideological civil war, which is part of the general and prolonged crisis of Western civilization is obvious to any thoughtful observer. One of the most perceptive observers of the development of this crisis was Gerhart Niemeyer. As a fugitive from Nazi Germany, a devout Christian, and a political theorist who had mastered the philosophical tradition and the Communist worldview, he was particularly well equipped to discern the ways in which the various modern ideologies insidiously erode the substance of truth and order in contemporary society and to seek remedies in the return to the ontological and spiritual roots of order in the Western tradition.

- The Philosopher's Enigma
In The Philosopher's Enigma, Richard Watson explains to believers in temperate and readable prose why he and many others are not believers. His discussion is based on strict Augustinianism, the foundation of seriously argued Christianity. God is hidden – that is, the concept of God is unintelligible – as discussed at length by Leszek Kolakowski in his Religion If There Is No God (St. Augustine's Press) – in the sense that there are no known rational arguments for God's existence. Moreover, Augustine argues that finite human beings cannot understand God's infinite perfections.

The Virtues of Not Going on a Pilgrimage
First of all, I love to travel, as I'm sure that most of us who read Shawn's blog do. I took my first Wonder Voyage with him this summer. It was an enriching, nourishing experience for my soul and a stimulant for my mind and imagination. Travelling is great, and it's best to do it with the right mindset and philosophical approach, and for many of us it's what keeps us alive in an exciting, wide-eyed world of wonder.
But what do you do if you have the pilgrim's itch and you just can't travel?

With the economics of university press publishing becoming tougher and the demands of the retail and wholesale marketplace becoming greater, in 2005 the UNC Press analyzed its warehouse storage and distribution functions. UNC Press wanted to meet the escalating technological demands of the publishing marketplace, which only a large press could afford on its own, and to lower overall fulfillment costs.
To meet these challenges and achieve these goals, the UNC Press created a new model: a separate 501(c)3 organization that operates with a collaborative philosophy to provide total fulfillment services for not-for-profit scholarly publishers. The new company was named Longleaf (after a native pine tree), and it commenced operations in 2006.
Today, Longleaf Services, Inc. serves four leading university press publishers; it enables client publishers to enhance their competitiveness, improve operating efficiencies, and create economies of scale, resulting in better service to their customers and lowering overall operating costs for both publisher and book buyer.

Ionotropic NMDA and P2X(1/5) receptors mediate synaptically induced Ca2+ signalling in cortical astrocytes
Palygin, Oleg, Lalo, Ulyana, Verkhratsky, Alexei and Pankratov, Yuriy. (2010) Ionotropic NMDA and P2X(1/5) receptors mediate synaptically induced Ca2+ signalling in cortical astrocytes. Cell Calcium, Vol.48 (No.4). pp. 225-231. ISSN 0143-4160
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ceca.2010.09.004
Local, global and propagating calcium (Ca2+) signals provide the substrate for glial excitability. Here we analyse Ca2+ permeability of NMDA and P2X(1/5) receptors expressed in cortical astrocytes and provide evidence that activation of these receptors trigger astroglial Ca2+ signals when stimulated by either endogenous agonists or by synaptic release of neurotransmitters. The Ca2+ permeability of the ionotropic receptors was determined by reversal potential shift analysis; the permeability ratio P-Ca/P-K was 3.1 for NMDA receptors and 2.2 for P2X(1/5) receptors. Selective stimulation of ionotropic receptors (with NMDA and alpha,beta-methyleneATP) in freshly isolated cortical astrocytes induced ion currents associated with transient increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)). Stimulation of neuronal afferents in cortical slices triggered glial synaptic currents and [Ca2+](i) responses, which were partially blocked by selective antagonists of NMDA (D-AP5 and UBP141) and P2X(1/5) (NF449) receptors. We conclude that ionotropic receptors contribute to astroglial Ca2+ signalling and may provide a specific mechanism for fast neuronal-glial signalling at the synaptic level. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Visit our new web site www.burnesidebrass.co.uk for all the latest information In March 1993 the Westmorland Gazette published an article Headed "Bill puts Burneside Band on the road" accompanied by a photograph of Bill Turton and Peter Crawford. The article read: "That was until a mate (Peter) wandered into Burneside Post Office where Bill's wife is postmistress and the two made plans- for a village brass band. It didn't matter that around 26 players were needed and that the instruments cost the earth. But in true Last of the Summer wine style, nothing seemed insurmountable." The article ended thus: "Bill and Peter's little scheme might have started as a little joke but the hot air turned into a strong wind- just enough to fuel a Brass Band."

This was at first a chore, but the more I made, the more I liked it. It's an odd trend that my toons tend to start weak and end strong. There a few bugs and hiccups here and there. I couldn't be arsed to fix them. I just fixed the major problems I saw.
If anyone knows how I can export a more higher quality video for youtube, I'd love to hear it, PM me please.
Feel free to recommend this for the 2011 Halloween collection.
My little pony is copyright to Hasbro and this video is intended to be a non-profit fan based parody.
UPDATE: To those of you voting this submission low simply because it kills off Rainbow Dash: Grow the fuck up. It's a non-canon parody of a fan fiction about fictional characters that don't exist (redundancy much?). You were warned twice! Verbally and in writing. Focus on the work and how well it portrays the fan fiction and NOT on how I killed off Rainbow Dash. For fucks sake, kids...
Update2: I haven't a clue as to why there's a "2011 Movie of the Year Award" underneath the underdog of the week. Any explainations?

In addition, there are other benefits and non-refundable tax credits that students may be eligible to claim. Non-refundable tax credits reduce your federal tax; however, if the total of these credits is more than your federal tax, you will not get a refund for the difference.
- Education amount: You may be able to claim a full-time education amount of $400, or part-time amount of $120, for each month or part of a month in the year in which you were enrolled in a qualifying program at the post-secondary level.
- Textbook amount: You may be able to claim a textbook amount for each month that you qualify for the education amount.
- Tuition amount: You may be able to claim the fees you pay for the courses taken at the post-secondary level or at an educational institution certified by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. To qualify you must have paid more than $100 in tuition fees for the year.
- Interest on student loans: You may be eligible to claim an amount for the interest paid in 2012 or the preceding five years on your student loan if you received it under the Canada Student Loans Act, the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, or a similar provincial or territorial government laws.
- Goods and services tax/ harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit: The GST/HST credit is a tax-free quarterly payment that helps individuals and families with low or modest incomes offset all or part of the GST or HST that they pay.
Keep your receipts!
It is important for Canadians to keep all their records and receipts after filing their income tax and benefit return in case the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) asks to see them later. Each year, the CRA looks at income tax returns to review deductions and credits and ensure that various income amounts have been correctly reported. Keep your receipts and supporting documents for six years.

text: I didn't always see the value of buying organic produce. Back in the day, before Autism touched our lives, I was happy to eat the cheapest fruits and veggies I could find. I shopped for the ones that looked shiny, colorful and flawless. But now that I'm raising a son who simply can't process toxins out of his body as well as his typical peers – which is actually quite common among individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders - I am very careful about what kind of produce we use in our kitchen. Now the fruits and veggies I buy may not look flawless at the market, but I buy them because of things I cannot necessarily see. Did you know that 7 out of 10 fruits and vegetables tested are positive for pesticide residue? While I understand that we don't want our produce to be demolished by insects before it can ever be harvested and marketed, it is deeply concerning to me that most of the pesticides used on our food supply have never been tested for human safety!

Siddharth gifts Vidya a flat worth Rs 14 crore
A source informed a tabloid that the flat is in a building called Parineeta on Juhu Tara Road.
A source informed a tabloid that the flat is in a building called Parineeta on Juhu Tara Road.
According to the latest reports, the Nallakunta police has registered a case following a a petition filed by a practicing advocate, Sai Krishna Azad.
Following the footsteps of actresses like Priyanka and Vidya Balan regularly share pictures and videos from their film's shooting with their followers, Bebo has also decided to share her experiences about her film 'Heroine' through Twiiter.
After the much publicized Vidya Balan's 'The Dirty Picture', which revolves around the life of the late sex siren Silk Smitha, had set the box office on fire, Kareena too is keen and hopeful that her forthcoming film, Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Heroine' would be a big hit too.
The success party, orgainsed on Wednesday at a Juhu nightspot, saw almost all the Bollywood bigwigs.
'The Dirty Picture' is a formula film which revolves around the life of late southern siren Silk Smitha. Released in 1766 screens, the film is still continuing to creep up through strong word of mouth and is getting high scores.
Confirming the good response, Girish Johar, head of acquisition and distribution of Balaji Films, said that the film is on the verge of creating a record breaking opening weekend.
Earlier, Silk Smitha's brother had sent two legal notices to Balaji Telefilms. However, after not getting any response from the filmmakers, he moved the writ petition to the High Court.
A source close to the unit admitted that Akshay and John are portraying the characters of male strippers in 'Desi Boyz' and that could be the reason Censor board decided to give it an 'A' certificate.
"The makers of 'Desi Boyz' were expecting a U/A certificate since it's a big-budget film and with Akshay and John in the cast they were largely targeting the family audience and youth as well. Unfortunately for them, the film has been given an Adult certification," said the source.
Issuing a statement, Balaji Motion Pictures stated with reference to the legal notice that the film is a work of fiction, based on the romantic journey of an actress and the inspiration behind 'The Dirty Picture' are the strugglers of the 80's who wanted to make it big on the silver screen.
Buzz has it that Veteran musician Bappi Lahiri has apparently been smitten by the actress's sensuous act in 'The Dirty Picture'. The Bengali musician who has composed the song 'Ooh La La' for 'The Dirty Picture' admitted that Vidya looks glamorous in the film.
"Before the song, I don't think any of her fans could have ever imagined her looking as sexy and glamourous as this," stated the musician.

We're told that we have notoriously short memories. So I wonder, do you remember the infamous "Gloucester 18"? Here's a hint: Gloucester is a small town in Massachusetts that bills itself as "America's Oldest Seaport." Doesn't ring a bell? Then how about the words "pregnancy pact"?
"Bingo," I hear you say, "that's the place where all those girls in one high school made a pact and got pregnant on purpose, right?"
No, you would be wrong — not because you aren't up on your facts, but because until very recently no one took the time to get to the bottom of the story.
Kristen Grieco, a former reporter from the Gloucester Daily Times who first broke the story, has stepped up to clarify the charge against the girls and the town by producing a 67-minute documentary film, The Gloucester 18. It is moving, compelling film that reveals the real story about the supposed "pact" as well as more profound truths about teen pregnancy.
Grieco, who quit her job to produce the film, was investigating a suspicious spike in the teen pregnancy rate at the local high school in March 2008. She also had heard rumors that "a clique [of girls had formed] with the express purpose of getting pregnant." Dr. Joseph Sullivan, the school's principal, pretty much started the ball rolling by saying that some girls purposely got pregnant to explain the spike in the numbers.
The first truth that the film reveals is that there was no pregnancy pact.Teens and sex!!! Always an incendiary mix to delight and attract the media, which can play both the role of voyeur and disapproving adult. After Grieco's story broke, the national press descended on the small, economically strapped fishing village to sensationalize what actually occurred. After all, 16, 17, or 18 girls in one high school getting pregnant on purpose — what could be juicier for the mainstream media?
A Time magazine reporter coined the phrase "pregnancy pact," and it drew reporters from such far away places as Brazil, England, and the Netherlands to every corner and driveway of Gloucester to report the lascivious details.
The media got the story mostly wrong. There was no pact, but there were 18 girls in the high school who were pregnant, which was somewhat above the average number for a given year.
To Grieco's credit, she decided to "hear" as much as she could about the true story behind the spate of pregnancies. She interviewed almost half the girls who had become pregnant (of the 18, six chose to have abortions), some of their parents, and the high school health educators. She quickly found a troubling truth: the number of teen pregnancies at the high school was high, but it was pretty much what it had always been.
The girls who attended Gloucester were white. Grieco expanded her research to Lowell and Springfield, Mass., to tell the stories of pregnant minority teens to see if there were any similarities and differences within the populations. The themes were very much the same. Poverty and teen pregnancy often go hand in hand, and these three towns have experienced hard times during the last decade.
The film introduces us to Kyla, Alissa, Brianne, Hallie, Tabitha, Sarah, Leslie — all of whom deliver their babies and try to adjust to their new situations as unmarried, single parents (only a few have steady live-in boyfriends). We also meet one intact family and several other single moms who are raising their teen girls alone. Not many men are in the picture, which is also an unpleasant truth about teen pregnancy.
Grieco shows us the commonalities that most, if not all, of these pregnant teens share:
The girls seem passive and unrealistic about the challenges of raising a child and staying in school. None have much self-esteem or any future goals; they seem to have drifted into having unprotected sex and rarely, if ever, used birth control. They feel that some adult, hopefully their parent or parents, will accept their babies and help raise them, and most have absolutely no sense of what it takes to raise a child in safety and dignity or the financial and psychological costs.
We learn that a high proportion of the teen moms were born to women who were teen moms themselves, and that the cycle repeats itself. Most of the girls who have a first birth in the film are pregnant with a second within a very short span of time.
The most troubling commonality is that so few of the girls had a loving, protective, and helpful family. I doubted, too, that their parents had been given much advice about sexuality and pregnancy. Some had grown up in the foster care system desperately wanting a family of their own. Many were looking for love and thought a baby would provide it.
Leslie, a minority teen girl from Lowell, is the one whose words and face lingers. Her mom gave birth to her at 15 and her brother at 16. I might characterize her as a "throwaway child" for whom no adult had ever cared. She didn't have a home and spent her time living in shelters and in the back of vans. She seemed to have a lot of unprotected sex, probably in order to secure a place to sleep at night.
Leslie also had spunk. She was more articulate than the rest of the girls in the film. She said that her pregnancy was unintentional, believing that "it couldn't happen to me," because she had been told that she had only one ovary. She rationalized her pregnancy as "perhaps the only opportunity to be a parent." Her only source of income was money earned from braiding friends' hair. Leslie, by film's end, is pregnant with her second child, still with no visible signs of adult support.
Dr. Brian Orr, the former director of the high school health clinic, and Kim, Daly, its former nurse practitioner, offered the best explanations for why so many of the girls in Gloucester became pregnant that spring. They knew that many of the high school girls were having sex, but they were not permitted to prescribe the birth control pill or distribute condoms in the health center. They crossed swords with the leaders of the local hospital that oversaw the clinic. Hospital officials publicly questioned the hospital's liability if birth control prescriptions were written in the clinic. Despite Daly's best efforts to inform officials that "being on the pill is safer [for a teen female] than giving birth," she was unable to change their minds.
Orr and Daly lost the battle and resigned. But the uproar in the community led the Gloucester School Committee to permit kids to get birth control prescriptions as long as their parents opted to enroll them in the program.
But this policy came too late for the "Gloucester 18."
Grieco has no plans for general distribution of her film. It is distributed primarily to education groups and community nonprofits through the Media Education Foundation.
I hope The Gloucester 18 will be distributed to a wider audience, since many more of us would really understand the roots of teen pregnancy. We would learn more about our responsibilities to the vulnerable teen girls who live in poverty and have little hope for the future. We'll also wise up to how the media sensationalizes teen sexuality to the detriment of those who are working to solve a serious societal problem.

For links to listen online and a complete schedule visit: http://www.imemc.org RADIO FREE PALESTINE: 18-hour international radio broadcast on 60-years of Palestinian dispossession TONIGHT @ MIDNIGHT -- Join the International Middle East Media Center in Bethlehem (Palestine), in collaboration with CKUT 90.3fm in Montreal (Quebec, Canada), CHRY 105.5fm in Toronto (Ontario, Canada), CKDU 88.1fm in Halifax (Nova Scotia, Canada), and KBOO 90.7fm in Portland (Oregon, USA) for a historic international radio reflection of the Palestinian Nakba or catastrophe, including contributions from Pacifica Radio and Democracy Now! Thursday, May 15th, 2008, commemorates 60 years of the Palestinian Nakba. In 1948, eighty-five percent of Palestinians living in what is today the state of Israel became refugees. More than 500 Palestinian villages were depopulated and then destroyed to prevent the return of the displaced native population. 60-years later, there are upwards of 7 million Palestinian refugees dispersed throughout the world and Palestinians abroad are the world's oldest and largest refugee population, making-up more than one fourth of all refugees. Israel continues to occupy and colonize Palestinian land through the construction of Jewish only settlements, the Wall in the West Bank, and the collective punishment of civilians in the Gaza Strip. On Thursday, May 15th from from 12am until 6pm (EDT), "Radio Free Palestine" will broadcast on these and many other topics concerning the ongoing Nakba of the Palestinian people. An ARCHIVE of this program is available online at www.imemc.org or email news at ckut.ca.

Date: 03/03/09, updated on 04/03/09 (53 review reads)
Advantages: Very pleasing fresh smell.
Disadvantages: Can be a bit over priced from certain places, But is worth it!
Yves Saint Laurent's Kouros for men I think is a very pleasing fragrance. I bought this for my dad for christmas and he absolutely loved it, it cost £34.00 for a 100ml bottle. I got it from "the perfume shop" but you can get it from almost any cosmetics shop like boots and bodycare etc.
I myself have never used an Yves Saint Laurent fragrance before but I'd heard lots of good things about it. When I thought about buying an aftershave or spray for my dad for christmas I asked a few guys I know what they liked and thought was good and I was suprised when nearly all of them suggested "Kouros". It's a really nice fresh smell I'm sorry but "fresh" is the only way I can describe it, it's not a musky type of fragrance but a purifyng fresh scent.
I myself think it's lovely. He also uses Davidoff's Cool Water for men which is the same type of scent so if you know what that smells like and you like it then "Kouros" is certainly the fragrance for you! Or if you know anyone who likes those fresh smelling scent's then Yves Saint Laurent's Kouros would be nice as a gift.
Summary: Would make a great gift for someone!

June 30, 2008 McCain, My ManBy Kyle-Anne Shiver
I woke up this morning, took at long, hard look at myself, and decided that it's high time I came out of the closet on John McCain. I'm ready to stand front and center now, dear readers, and admit that I voted for John McCain in the 2000 Republican primary.
I had just finished reading John McCain, an American Odyssey, by Robert Timberg, and at that time, was completely enamored by the true American hero's tale. Of all the accounts offered by Timberg, one stood out for me, and made such an impact that I haven't forgotten it a single day, even when I wanted to personally wring John McCain's neck for some odious, legislative compromise he was making with the loathsome liberals in Congress. This one account earned my vote for John McCain in 2000. The time was April 1972. For me, it was truly the best of times. For John McCain, it was the dark, dark night of the soul. I had been married already for two years to a Georgia Tech football player. He was quite a catch and I was more than happy to tag along on the good-times life offered to gridiron guys everywhere. We were both still in college and living a pretty high life, safely ensconced in married housing, partying at the SAE house every weekend, and otherwise enjoying a very charmed existence. Graduation and cushy corporate jobs were in easy sight. The Vietnam War was as far removed from us that year as was any responsibility whatsoever, past pleasing our professors and deciding who would get the beer. My guy had that college deferment, a very, very high lottery number, and the hippie-communists up north and in Berkeley were beating their breasts against the war loudly enough for our whole generation. I went to a few anti-war demonstrations to please my lefty professors and prepared myself to vote for the only acceptable youth candidate that year, George McGovern. I was doing it, I believed, to help our troops come home and get out of that hellhole in Southeast Asia. I had never heard of John McCain or the Hanoi Hilton. I knew the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong communists down South were holding a lot of our guys, mostly pilots shot down in the swampy jungles over there. And, though I'm certainly ashamed now to admit it, I didn't give them all that much thought. Those guys were out of sight and out of my mind. The only thing getting any sway by Walter Cronkite et al were the body bags and the words, "quagmire," "unwinnable," "Peace, Peace, Peace," and "make love not war." And I was quite happy to oblige, spoiled utterly rotten as I was then. That same April 1972, in a faraway, alien place named Vietnam, President Nixon had resumed the bombing of Hanoi, hoping to force the communists to the bargaining table with more than the bunch of carrots LBJ had offered. John McCain had been a prisoner of war, being treated with less than Geneva Convention hospitality at the Hanoi Hilton, for nearly 5 whole years. He was shot down over a small lake in the middle of Hanoi on October 26, 1967. In the years that John McCain was being routinely tortured by brutal communist atheists, with only himself, God and some other American brave ones for company, I had graduated from high school, started college, gotten married and didn't have a single scratch on my lovely little head. John McCain and his fellow prisoners in the Hanoi Hilton were actually cheering the bombing of the very city where they were imprisoned. I was attending a few anti-war demonstrations and passing out a flyer for my political science professor, demanding that Nixon be tried for crimes against humanity. John McCain and his buddies had it right; I had it wrong. My own life of leisure and affluence had been bought and paid for, time and time again throughout our Nation's history, with the blood, limbs and lives of heroes like John McCain, but I was too blinded by ease to give it much thought. My freedom to pursue my studies, to play and party hard, and even to protest a war I didn't understand, was being protected, guarded and defended each moment by men willing to do worse than even die for it. These men were willing to withstand the most abhorrent degradation, inhumane treatment and torture, all to the backdrop of massive hippie-communist temper tantrums back home, the news of which was splashed in their faces daily by their gleeful captors. But I didn't give them a thought, nor even many of my self-centered prayers, which I usually aimed at my piddling personal needs or at the meaningless catchall, "world peace." While my husband and I were counting down to graduation and having our last spring fling in Daytona Beach, John McCain and his fellow captives were cheering the Nixon I thought should be tried for war crimes. As John McCain retold it to his biographer years later:
Even though the bombing was President Nixon's decision, John McCain's own father, Admiral Jack McCain, CINCPAC, was the man who actually issued the orders that resumed America's bombing of the city in which his son was held captive. Such a burden for a father to bear, I simply cannot imagine. And perhaps, when I read McCain's biography, it was this strange irony of Providence that caused me to remember the account and its meaning so vividly. Admiral McCain's wife, Roberta, spoke to the biographer about her husband's anguish years later too. She recounted that her husband didn't speak too much about the possibility that his own orders could kill their young son, but that instead of talking about it, the Admiral retired to his study for an hour every morning and night, on his knees, to read the Bible. "He was," she said, "in agony." (John McCain, an American Odyssey; p. 106) While I was sunning myself in Daytona Beach that April of 1972, John McCain and his family were intricately engaged in a fight for my right to self-indulgence. But at age 21, when I cast my first vote for a new "peace-loving" Commander in Chief, I had no concept of the cost that must be borne by those willing to ensure peace and freedom, instead of just talking about it and chanting nifty slogans. By the year 2000, though, I had gotten a pretty thorough education about such things, not by going to war myself, but through the rigors of hammering out a long-lasting marriage in the face of great odds, and raising our children through many harrowing nights, days and tragedies. That's why when I finally did read of John McCain's American Odyssey, I was prepared to accept the gift of his many sacrifices for our Country and more than ready to turn over the reigns of power to his tried-and-true hands. In the end, of course, John McCain did not win the nomination in 2000, and George W. Bush became President. History, I believe, will judge President Bush in an admirable light, and will find in retrospect that much of his unpopularity has been driven by a media elite intent upon having one of their own in the White House. Whether John McCain would have handled the aftermath of 9/11 better than W, is something we will never know. What I do know now, however, is that in the current election, which pits the character and proven integrity of John McCain against the nifty slogans of an upstart, with nothing but fancy colleges and few hoity-toity political gigs on his resume, there is truly no contest. There is only one real man running this year, only one man capable of bearing the defense of this Nation in a time of war. And hands-down, with no buts, whims or exceptions, that man is John McCain, my man. This is Part One of a five-part series on John McCain, My Man.

"Christmas Time, Mistletoe and Wine" How many times have you heard this so far and maybe its only November?
A few I'll bet, but with Christmas seemingly becoming earlier to us each year, we will no doubt feel the need to get ahead with our present and food buying.
This though only leads to us spending more than we should.
This is because with the shops full of decorations and Christmas tunes, the stores are dictating to us that we have to buy our gifts now, which will mean by the time December has come and gone. We would have spent more over the 2-month period that the shops have been full of Christmas cheer.
