University of Colorado at Boulder: Suppression of Affirmative Action Bake Sale
At the University of Colorado at Boulder, the College Republicans and the Equal Opportunity Alliance were informed by administrators that they would not be permitted to hold an affirmative action bake sale because, CU claimed, the students would be engaging in discrimination. FIRE Legal Network Attorney Robert Corry quickly stepped in, informing CU that he would be filing for an injunction on Tuesday at noon to force the university not to abridge the students' First Amendment rights. The planned bake sale was a political protest, not an exercise in discrimination. Under threat of court action, CU quickly agreed to settle the issue, agreeing to allow the bake sale as long as they charged only "suggested prices" and use race only as a "plus factor" in determining the price. The students consented and held the event, although at the sale itself other students who opposed the protest attempted to silence it, vandalizing the booth and tearing down signs.

Trending in History
Cold War
"There are two great peoples on the earth today who, starting from different points, seem to advance toward the same goal: these are the Russians and the Anglo-Americans. Both have grown larger in obscurity [relatively unnoticed by the rest of the world]; and while men's regards were occupied elsewhere, they have suddenly taken their place in the first rank of nations, and the world has learned of their birth and of their greatness almost at the same time." French traveler Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859) made this statement, quoted in his book Democracy in America, in the 1830s. Over a century later, the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist...
History: The South, since 1886 voted for the Democratic Party. How did the Republican Party...
The Republicans' takeover of the South began because of racial reasons and continued because of cultural reasons.
Beginning at least in the 1950s (it is worth noting that the "Dixiecrats" ran in opposition to the regular Democratic Party in 1948) the South started to move away from the Democratic Party since the Democrats were becoming the party of civil rights. Much of the South was ardently segregationist. When the Democrats started to favor civil rights (this accelerated in the 1960s), the South moved towards the Republicans.
This trend became more pronounced in the 1960s as the continuing Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and the "counterculture" all worked to push Southerners away from the...
Prior to 1820 in America, books, magazines, and other printed material typically were produced and sold locally by individual printers, binders, and booksellers, all working independently. Mechanical limitations, difficult transportation conditions, and the financial instability of the young nation made the business of publishing an unprofessional and unprofitable affair in early America. Only with improvements in transportation, such as the opening of the Erie Canal (1825), and the invention of new technologiesncluding stereotyping (1813), the steam press (1833), and advanced cutting, folding, and binding machines and materialsid businesses akin to the modern professional publishing house begin to...

World War II: How did governments convince the perpetrators who were gulity of mass...
To some extent, the governments involved in the mass killings of World War II did not have to convince their people to participate in those killings. To the extent that they did have to convince them, it was done through the use of propaganda and, to some degree, fear.
Some of the perpetrators were motivated by long-standing hatreds that were not really caused by any governmental body. For example, there had been a long history of anti-Semitism in Germany (and elsewhere) before WWII. As another example, the ethnic Russians of the Soviet Union were strongly anti-Polish due to ethnic/nationalistic rivalries. Such people did not need much convincing to participate.
Government propaganda helped to push people towards...
Quiz: History
History: What advantages did the North have over the South in the U.S. Civil War?
The primary advantage that the North had over the South was manufacturing capability. The North had already had an industrial revolution and had the ability to produce better weapons and more weapons. Obviously, this was a huge advantage for the North! The South was still dependent on slavery and this hindered their ability to industrialize.
Other advantages the North had over the South include a considerably larger population, naval power, and superior military leadership.
Food Security Act Contains Conservation Provisions
Article abstract: The Food Security Act of 1985 contained conservation provisions to reduce soil erosion, to prevent an overabundance of grain crops, and to protect wetlands.
Summary of Event
On December 23, 1985, Congress passed the Food Security Act (FSA). By passing the act, Congress recognized the value of taking erodible cropland out of production in the United States. Prior to the act, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimated that 3.1 billion tons of soil were eroding annually on approximately 420 million acres of cropland. In addition, 3.7 million acres of land were being converted annually from pasture and wetlands to cropland. Title 12 of the FSA contained provisions to...

Mongol Conquests
In many parts of the world, in particular, the Arab Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, the Mongols have become synonymous with murder, massacre, and marauding mayhem. Their advent is portrayed as a bloody "bolt from the blue" that left little but destruction, death, and horrified grief in its wake. A medieval Russian chronicle from Novgorod vividly describes their impact on the region:
No one exactly knows who they are, nor whence they came out, nor what their language is, nor of what race they are, nor what their faith is . . . God alone knows (Mitchell and Forbes, p. 64).
A thirteenth-century Persian eyewitness succinctly summarized their initial impact...
World War II: Who were the perpetrators in the various occasions of mass killing in WWII?
There were many perpetrators of the various mass killings that happened during World War II. The most famous mass killings were what we now call the Holocaust, but there were others. Some of the perpetrators were military, some were paramilitary, and others were simply civilians.
Some of the mass killings were carried out by paramilitary units. For example, one non-Holocaust mass killing was the killing of Polish officers and others by the Soviet Union at Katyn Forest. This killing of over 20,000 military officers, police officers, and intelligentsia was carried out by members of the Soviet secret police, which could be seen as a paramilitary group.
Other mass killings were carried out by more formally military...
Missouri Compromise
Article abstract: A measure that attempts to pacify both Northern and Southern sectional interests by allowing slavery to exist in the southern part of the Louisiana Purchase territory.
Summary of Event
Between 1818 and 1819 both the territories of Missouri and Maine petitioned the U.S. Congress to be admitted as new states. The Missouri Territory had been created from the Louisiana Purchase (1803) and was promised constitutional protection. However, Congress could not decide if the right of property applied to the institution of slavery. Should it be allowed in Missouri and the rest of the Louisiana Purchase, or did Congress have the moral responsibility to rectify the issue of slavery that had...
History: Why did the United States enter World War I?
Since the beginning of World War I in 1914, the United States, under President Woodrow Wilson, had maintained strict neutrality, other than providing material assistance to the Allies. Even in May 1915, when a German submarine sank the British ocean liner Lusitania, killing 128 U.S. citizens out of a total 1,200 dead, the United States, though in uproar, remained neutral.
In January 1917, Germany announced that it would lift all restrictions on submarine warfare starting on February 1. This declaration meant that German U-boat commanders were suddenly authorized to sink all ships that they believed to be providing aid of any sort to the Allies. Because the primary goal was to starve Britain into surrendering, the...

History: What did the Opium Wars between China and Britain indicate regarding China's...
In order to answer this, you need to think about what the Opium Wars were about and what their result was. These were wars that were fought because the British wanted to sell opium to the Chinese while the Chinese government wanted to prevent them from doing so. The British overwhelmingly defeated the Chinese. This gave them the right to sell opium in China. It also gave them the right to get various concessions from the Chinese, allowing the British, for example, to try their own citizens in their own courts rather than making them subject to Chinese law.
So, we have a case in which the British were able to force China to grant them major concessions, including the right to sell narcotics in China. This clearly tells...
1920's Lifestyles and Social Trends
"The Roaring Twenties."
The 1920s have been dubbed everything from "The Roaring Twenties" and "The Era of Wonderful Nonsense" to "The Decade of the Dollar" and "The Period of the Psyche" to the "Dry Decade" and the age of "Alcohol and Al Capone." Many historians regard the years between World War I and the stock-market crash of 1929 as the culmination of a long process of social change, which Frederick Lewis Allen described as a "revolution in manners and morals."
The Wake of World War I.
The 1920s opened in the aftermath of World War I. The war's brutality and devastation in Europe culminated in euphoria at home over the armistice, followed by political...
History: Please explain the origin of 'Children's Day' in India.
In India, November 14th the birthday of the first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru is celebrated as 'Children's Day.' However, the practice of celebrating November 14th as 'Children's Day' in India was begun only after Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's death in the year 1963.
This is because in his life time Nehru was very fond of small children and spent much of his free time with them. Wherever he went in India, Nehru was always surrounded by small children. His ability to establish an immediate rapport with children was legendary.
Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity by Katherine Boo
Behind the Beautiful Forevers opens dramatically as Abdul Hussein, a teenaged garbage sorter, hides from police who are trying to connect him and his father to the suicide of his neighbor Fatima. Abdul crouches on a pile of trash in a room next to his home, hoping that the police will not bother to search the room when they come.
Abdul and his family live in a slum, Annawadi, located on the outskirts of the sprawling Mumbai Airport. Despite the airport's cutting-edge terminals and a proliferation of luxury hotels nearby, this slum has grown up on airport property as waves of migrants from rural India have come to the city seeking to increase their fortune. The Husseins have done better than most of their neighbors....
History: What national and international events precipitated the Marcus Garvey's movement...
Both Marcus Garvey's UNIA and the KKK were nationalist organization in the United States. They were both helped to prominence in the 1920s by some of the same factors.
In the international arena, one of the major causes of their rise was World War I. Another was the rise of radical ideas such as socialism and anarchism in Europe. Both of these influenced events in the United States which, in turn, influenced the rise of these organizations.
World War I influenced the rise of these groups largely through the fact that it caused the movement of many African Americans to the North. It also helped expose some African Americans to influences from outside the country. This led African Americans to form more of a...

Kudos to the Pack.Rat.Pack.People who helped made this thread informative and those that will stumble upon and inform some more.
Am in the process of learning about the original presentation of these films by examining 'Theater Performance' recordings. Would like to identify aspects of this presentation method which no longer exists in the subsequent versions. For instance Reel Change Markers exist no where else.
Outputted the Cue (Motor & Changeover) markers (Reel Change) for reference:
Personally also curious to see if there are versions in which crowd interaction takes place. Would be great to hear the cheers and jeers of the audience. (especially as the home entertainment versions of the movies take over public precedence) But since most bootlegs were made to get a pristine version of the movie, those will probably be the bulk of the conversation of this thread. So post titles, links anything you find relevant.

Am looking for leads, comments alluding to other recordings. If you've got the name/location of some old SW forum which might have a searchable archive, please post or pm, will do some searching to find someone who might have spilled the beans about some old recordings. Also searching through books/magazines/newspapers/tv reports for information which describes the larger context. For instance each movie had someone prosecuted so those kind of stories, also Copyright Law Journals talk about the instances and give odd details like how many copies of each film were lost/stolen when in theaters.
For those rejects interested: ((firstname.lastname@example.com))

Also, is the 1977 bootleg available in any non-newsgroup source? I deleted mine a few years back and I've been kicking myself ever since.

I do have the Moth3r widescreen telecine bootleg, it's divided into two xvid files, I thought I had already offered you a copy, zombie? just give me a PM, I also think it's still available on usenet.

Although a great preservation, this threads about the Theater Going Experience, the Puggo editions are from retail items. Revisiting for informational purposes how the movies appeared when people went to a theater to see it. Being Pre-ANH is just one criteria some of the SW one's will share, but they're might be a SE boot which will be of merit to save as well. So with that in mind i've...
Moved RotS workprint to 'Honorary Mention" category.
Personally i'm more interested in the crappier side of this phenomenon, crowd noise and the occasional head in screen are what i'm after. Would like to hear real people getting into the spirit of the movie. But to find those, you have to dig up all the 'preferred' preservations which are more about saving the film quality not the atmosphere.

Jedi Knight@DJ, thanks very much for the offer! I arrived here today to find my PM box already had a couple of links for me, so no need to worry but thanks anyway.
I also did not realize there is a ROTS workprint. Is it actually just a pre-release telecine of the final film or is it actually a workprint from a rough cut of the film? I can't seem to find a clear answer, though I seem to be getting the impression its the former.

NFO comment: "WEEEEEEE, ripper named the rars funny, isn't he a hoot. nuke this if you want. it's real. check a rar or two could be a SCREENER, looks more like a finished Workprint, since there's 2 fuck off big timers :) "
Since these groups have members who accomplish tasks, might be proof, that there was an uploader, could be the same as the RAR person, then this .nfo creator, then the distributors.

So although this file has value in that t's a look into the film making process, there are other ramifications of this file. This file lead to the FBI/ICE takedown of Elite Torrents, the jailing of several people, the suicide of another and a bunch of other things. If your into this kinda thing, i'm attempting to piece together the puzzle through online searching/requesting and FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests. Progress on that front can be read here:
If you see an angle of questioning to find out more about, let me know and i'll add it to my further attempts.

Bootleg VHS of Empire Strikes Back
by ManosDec 30th, 2008
09:17:55 AM One of my prized posessions is a bootleg VHS copy of The Empire Strikes Back. It's about 4th generation, which means its nearly unwatchable, but I still love it. Some guy in New York used to set up a camera in a theater he ran and tape the movies. I got mine through a hustler I worked with at JC Penny. I lost contact wtih him and found out that the FCC had raided his home about a year later. They confiscated his tapes (blank VHS tapes were worth about $25 a pop then), his VHS machine, and fined him thousands of dollars. That was my first and last foray into the dark realm of bootleg movies.
Anybody remember the first VHS machines...
by ManosDec 30th, 2008
09:23:18 AM designed for mass marketing? They cost $999.95, were top loaders and the remote control consisted of switch attached to a long cord that allowed the viewer to pause the recording. The good thing about them was the record heads. They lasted forever and were easily replaced.
Anyone got any ideas how to get word to this user? He's still active on the boards, last post about two weeks ago.

A second lead on an ESB theatrical preservation: (posted in 1999...)
I remember when some friends had a copy of The Empire Strikes Back (on Beta, no less) that appeared to be from a camcorder from a drive-in movie theater. That may have been before the word camcorder had even been coined!
It wasn't terrible. I mean, what do you expect from video tape, anyway? It's not even as good as broadcast TV! The only really bad part was when they apparently switched tapes (or had to hide the camera for a minute).
This user is offline.
I am ready for the trials!Camcorders didn't come along until the mid '80's. If someone managed this with a bulky camera and portable VTR in 1980, without being seen, I'm impressed.
They would have likely had to swap batteries halfway through.
It would really be something if a 70mm recording of ESB surfaced!

Lead on an audio ESB drive-in recording:
Comment #13 (Posted by Loud and Clear, kid.)An original bootlegger, I saw it at the drive in my first time, took my cassette recorder and some extra batteries. I listened to that audio tape every night that year when I went to sleep. I can still do a pretty good Taun Taun imitation.

Better Grumpy than DopeyThe first film widely bootlegged on VHS/Beta was ET in 1982. So I imagine that bootlegs of ESB would be extremely rare, but there might be better chance of finding a cam of ROTJ. (The '77 SW bootlegs came from telecine sources, I think.)

Some of the SW biography/history books mention how even then Fox/LFL were worried about reproductions of the film. Alluding to film reproductions. So it's a possibility but yeah unlikely.
pg. 73
Sixteen millimeter movies continued to be a mainstay of the U.S. Armed Forces-films in that format were shown in bases around the world. After about 1950 they apparently posed no problem, until 1979. At that time it was reported that more than 700 U.S. Army and Air Force cinemas around the world would not be able to screen Star Wars because of the distributor's fear of piracy. Fox refused to release the movie in 16m format to the Army and Air Force Motion Picture Service due to the possibility of piracy.
This episode marked the first time the AAFES had been unable to acquire film right for hits houses-16m sites screen the movies for free. Fox's increased fear of piracy was grounded in the arrival of a new technology: the videocassette recorder. It worried about how easy it might be to run off cassette copies of it blockbuster hit Star Wars.
Last quote might be from Variety March 21, 1979
Also from this book is mention of another Variety article which could be the source of the SW boots:
pg. 202
"David Barnes admits pic piracy; Star Wars, others to so. Africa."
Variety April 5, 1978, p. 18
Here's a blurb which gives an idea of quantity from back then:
(from American Film: Journal of the Film and Television Arts, July-August 1978, vol. III no. 9, pp. 57–67.)
According to Variety, the Los Angeles piracy unit of the FBI has recovered more than $2 million in bootleg audio tapes and videotapes and films, including forty thousand reels and cassettes of films, together with almost $150 million worth of equipment and raw materials, since the crackdown began several years ago.
In the not-too-distant future, videotape is going to have to be considered almost equal with theatrical exhibition. Big hits like Saturday Night Fever will be seen in a theater first, because that's still a special experience, but viewers will probably be able to pick up a cassette copy on the way home for repeat viewings. It is probably no accident that recent blockbusters have been heavily influenced by music. They're less dramatic, more like a record one plays over and over again. Repeat admissions were certainly a large factor in Star Wars' success.
Never heard that music theory before, but it holds up.

Not that i'm aware of. Contemplating having an archive copy as part of 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media' project, and am currently testing the waters with threads like this one, and others elsewhere. Gauging things before doing something possibly really stupid.

Weekend Rewind: Richie Rich's 1989 'Salsa House'
We're taking it way back (over two decades to be exact) for today's Weekend Rewind. Rapper turned DJ Richie Rich's "Salsa House" was released in 1989 and features vocal samples from Michael Jackson's "Get On The Floor," an MJ track so old that many young fans of the late icon won't even recognize it. Despite its age, the song doesn't sound too dated to be touched by adventurous DJ. In fact, Roger Sanchez blew the dust of this record in 2011 at Southport Weekender.

When I began learning Python, one of the first things I needed to know how to do was open a file. Now, the term "open a file" can mean different things depending on the context. Sometimes it means to actually open the file with Python and read from it, like with a text file. Other times, it means "to open the file in its default program"; and sometimes it means, "open the file in the program I specify". So, when you go looking for how to do the latter two, you need to know how to ask Google just the right question or all you'll end up with is learning how to open and read a text file.
In this article, we're going to cover all three and we'll also show how to open (or run) programs that are already installed on your PC. Why? Because that topic is also one of the first things I needed to learn and it uses some of the same techniques. (more…)

Thank you, Michelle! I will definitely try to bring her along next year, and with any luck, I'll have another film next year as well. It was great seeing you again, and take care!
Hey Michelle! I've been good. We actually just finished shooting my submission for the film festival a couple of weeks ago, so I'm currently in the slow process of editing it. I don't want to ruin anything or sound too cocky, but I honestly think I have a shot at coming in first this year. So yup, I'll be down in Austin in a couple of months. Hope to see you there!
Hahahaaa... Red Dead is greatness! -
Fallout 3 is like jumpin off a cliff with no shoot-
If you haven't Played an MMO, Or some of the new RPG's-

Groupon puts all gun-related promotions and deals on hold
Groupon has suspended all of its gun-related promotions, a move that has led some gun-rights advocates to call for a boycott of the daily deals site.
"All scheduled and current gun-related deals featured on Groupon North America, including shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry and clay shooting, have been placed on hiatus while we review internal standards that shape the deal inventory we feature," Groupon spokeswoman Julie Mossler told AOL Daily Finance in a story published Sunday. "The category is under review following recent consumer and merchant feedback."

Abramovich Cancels Aspen New Year's Bash
Russian oligarch (and former Luxist mascot) Roman Abramovich, who has lost a whopping $20 billion in the global financial crisis, has reportedly canceled a lavish New Year's Eve party he'd planned to host in Aspen next month. Abramovich (above, with hot young girlfriend Dasha Zhukova) had booked the event at the resort's luxe Piñons restaurant, but it's now been called off, the Aspen Times reports. "Nobody really knew about it, and it wasn't supposed to get out," the restaurant's maitre d' told the paper. "We're fine, we've got our regular New Year's reservations." As my colleague Deirdre Woollard reported, Abramovich purchased the amazing Wildcat Ridge estate in Aspen for $36 million last spring. The modern 11 bedroom mansion is perched at an elevation of 9,200 feet with incredible mountain views.

Would there be any issue if I scraped this from yellow pages or say Trip Advisor? I don't need reviews of businesses, I only need the regular common data like Name, category etc.
Please let me know problems I stand to face if the site kicked off well.

Hello. Some may remember my previous site at jasonrepko.org. We've moved to a .com. Jason Repko, the oft-injured Los Angeles Dodgers Boston Red Sox outfielder has decided not to renew his domain name, meaning that I could scoop it out from underneath him and use it for my own purposes as opposed to letting it languish as he chose to do. In terms of his playing career, it's too bad he can't stay healthy, as he is very talented. I, not Repko the outfielder, but the Jason Repko of the University of Washington iSchool and former employee of public radio stations WYEP, KDUR, KBUT and KXCI will carry on at jasonrepko.com.
What you will discover here are my weekly website posts regarding information retrieval, ontology and taxonomy, and transportation issues. Strange mix, indeed. I love to ride my bike, and you will see and read a lot about it and my adventures with it. We live in Seattle, Washington, and the opportunities and scenery for biking are many.
Alas, I couldn't not simply move the old .ORG site to this .COM. It is gone. I will have to rebuild it. Just as well, as I want to distribute information differently this time around in both a professional section and an interests/bike section. It will take some time to get in the swing of things, and I hope you come back from time to time.

Toyota's Land Cruiser has the same powerful 5.7-liter V8 in the Tundra pickup. It is quick, quiet, comfortable, and refined, but not agile. It rides very comfortably and the interior is roomy and well finished.

For all things Survivor! Updates on cast, charities, episode recaps and more!
Thursday, December 2, 2010
Speechless...well kind of. ...well maybe not....
That's the only word that comes to my mind right now at the moment. I promised myself I would not stand on a soap box another season. That I would not be a jerk this season to anyone. That I would hold back my tendency to be opinionated. Usually people get turned off by that I said and no one really wants to read that. Be intelligent. Have fun. No soapbox. etc.
But after viewing last night, the opinionated Brenda has reared her ugly head and it is not pretty. Hold on this may get bumpy.
Okay first off before saying anything else..I must and will give 1000 kudos again to Holly Hoffman! That my friends is a very good WOW! She continues to show a style like unto a winner.
Remember back in Episode 2 when Holly said she too wanted out? For her it was JJ who said to her are u a quitter? What will your family back home think of you if u quit?
Well right then and there Holly summons the inner will and she came firing back and look at her now!
She is now the woman taking Kelly P aside and saying don't do it...you will regret it. Holly holds power now and is a leader, a nurturing presence and she kicks ass in challenges too. You can say Holly has definitely overcome Episode 2. So Holly you would think could speak from a voice of experience and give hope.
She takes Kelly aside and gives her a very rousing mama speech. She even goes on and selflessly (after not being on a reward for a while may I add and hungry) offers up a reward she fought 110 per cent for! While a quitter sits and selfishly, with a sense of entitlement may I add; knowing she is quitting and knowing she is going to eat upon quitting; sits there saying nothing!!
For those who are unaware, Holly selflessly gave up her reward to make sure that the tribe could get rice and a tarp. The camp previously was devastated by a fire and the tarp was burned in spots and the rice/food burned. That's a major act of kindness on Holly's part.
I sat watching this and was so blown away that NaOnka could just sit there? How hard is it to think of someone else other than yourself. Holly gave as much effort as you did and was hungry. You would be eating soon, right? But Nay wants to go out with a bang and with a bang she sure went out.
Watching this go down, I found myself having mad respect for Holly and just speechless at the sheer arrogance of NaOnka. I mean, really?
What Holly does is an exact contrast to the actions of NaOnka. While Holly is not only trying to make sure her tribe is better for it..she is also trying to set an example. An example that is obviously lost on NaOnka. Plus she is trying to negate the girls from quitting. With a tarp and food there should be no problem, right?
Now let's get down to what the girls gave as a reason for quitting...
it's too harsh out here, it rains all of the time and I can't hack it anymore.
Are they serious?
I am not sure the real reasons but what they offered was a cop out. Holly made sure they had food and a tarp. The truth is they couldn't cut it. NaOnka wanted to go out with a bang and Kelly just didn't wanna be there without Brenda. That's the best I can come up with.
I am sure it was tough out there. I am sure that food was very scarce this season as u don't see much eating clips as in other seasons. It was rainy and miserable for hours and hours on end. That would get to anyone I agree. But you woman up.
The way I see it, you should have realized signing up it is not Club Med. It is a game for a million bucks, do u think it is going to be easy?
I do think part of Kelly's was...was because Brenda had just been voted out. Brenda was her only ally and led her through everything. Without Brenda she was lost. But there is no excuse whatsoever for NaOnka quitting. None. Zip. Period. None.
What bothers me even more is that these girls are recruits. Watching how carelessly they walk away from an adventure that I myself would love to have made me sick to my gut.
I personally know of many wannabes (including even myself) who would give their eye teeth to be where they are. In fact today I was texting one and brought up the process with them. Plus awhile ago I sat on the phone talking to someone and started to cry even..just out of sheer frustration over this very thing. As a true fan it is a bitter pill to swallow.
Kelly P did not want to be there! She all but said it! Wanted to go after Day One!!! But she is there and thousands of us are not. How wrong is that?
Last but not least in the end NaOnka actually believed she could win....after stealing food, trash talking people, picking arguments....honestly I doubt that would have happened. Again how crazy is that thinking?
Needless to say they now sit on the jury and in my opinion they should not even have that right as if u leave of your own volition u should be sent home.
If u choose not to stay why be allowed a voice in someone else's game even? To select a winner of a game you quit!
However bylaws guarantee they will be a voice and again that is disgusting. If I had my way or a voice for change, I feel that they should trade places with Alina (openly crying because she wanted to play) Marty or Brenda and bring people back deserving.
Instead upon exit, 7 are left and those 7 wanna play the game. So look out...the game is fixing to get way bumpy!
Last but not least, the quitters did impact someone's game directly. Sash. Sash is now having to scramble to stay in. NaOnka on exit gave her idol to Chase so now Chase too has an idol. How Sash rebounds back we shall see in the coming weeks.
Off my soapbox and back to a fun and amazing season of Survivor Nicaragua!
Plus one side note Holly Hoffman has in my opinion earned her spot for Fan Favorite!
Off my soapbox and packing it into the closet. Until next episode..keep your torch lights lit and enjoy the next episode of Survivor Nicaragua!

Hey Brenda,
You are not alone in your feelings on this weeks' episode. Speechless is definitely how I was after the episode and I feel Nay quit because she didn't want to face her actions for voting out Brenda if she made it to the end of the game. Na needed to feel good about herself, and that was her out. I say we fans should send bottles of sand to CBS casting for continuing to let us down by picking recruits who don't have any drive to go for the million dollars. Blasphemy!
Thanks Brenda, and I endorse Holly Hoffman as well for the 100K!Good stuff Brenda. It is certainly a tribal council that won't be forgotten. It is interesting when you mentioned Holly trying to convince Kelly to stay, man they had more rice, a tarp, what was missing, oh yes it was Brenda. That is why she went, fair enough the elements played a huge part, but ultimately I believe it was no Brenda and Sash was now vunerable.
As for Na Onka, just add this to a collection of stupid, selfish, dumb-ass moves. Naturally I agree they should have boarded a plane immediately and joined the pre merge castaways.
I do give Holly lots of credit for standing up and make life a little bit better at camp.
Great stuff Brenda, I enjoy reading your words.- AnonymousDecember 2, 2010 at 10:41 PM
They should not have had their torches "smuffed", as far as nay, I know where I would have "smuffed" her torch.
I am not bashing Kelly, but I knew Nay had issues from day one, I told ya guys, I told ya, all you "Nay-lovers", you would not be her fan if she treated you this way.
I am not angry, but I am disappointed. - AnonymousDecember 2, 2010 at 11:22 PM
torches should of gone in the fire to BURN...They quit...They should be OUT of the game...Very disappointed on this...
ReplyDelete Thanks each of you for your responses. I appreciate all feedback and share the same bad taste in the mouth over the quitting. If u don't have the balls to do t..then don't sign up...it's that simple! I endorse Holly Hoffman for Fan Favorite and after her showing overall and for sure in the prior last few episodes...I think she has more than earned the title. I hope each of you will please when the time comes cast a vote for Holly to win Fan Favorite! Holly FTW! Thanks everyone!!

The situation is similar in Subic, a town 55 miles (88 km) south of Masinloc. It used to host one of the biggest American naval bases outside the United States, before it closed in 1991.
Operators of the fishing market on the outskirts of the town of 90,000 say business is down 50% since the fishermen were blocked from fishing where they wanted to at Scarborough. Many fishermen here share a similar story to their counterparts further north.
"When we went there, a Chinese vessel, the Chinese Marine Surveillance blocked our path," says Ronnie Drio, 46-year-old father of eight children. "As we managed to get past through it, it looked like they called another one because a different ship appeared and blocked our way again.
"That's when we got trapped. Then a Chinese man stepped out. He looked like their highest officer. He flashed a sign that we had to leave immediately. We were kicked out like pigs."
A number of fishermen have already left Subic and Masinloc and many more are considering it. One of them, 58-year-old Tolomeo "Lomi" Forones, is Efren's cousin. He's been a fisherman for 30 years but now makes a living as a motorbike taxi driver. He makes around $2 on a good day.
"Our income was higher when we used to fish at Scarborough. I even used to save money. But now we earn just enough for daily consumption and sometimes what we earn is not even enough to provide food."
Dangerous waters
He still does occasional fishing trips but against his wife's wish. Janet Forones wants to leave Masinloc and their low income is not the only reason: "Who would not get worried when they are out there? What if they get shot?" She was referring to the presence of the Chinese boats.
What puzzles the fishermen here most is the speed the whole situation has changed. Although the Philippine and Chinese governments have disputed each other's claim to the lagoon for many years, they could fish at Scarborough alongside Chinese fishermen up until a few months ago.
"I do not know why they don't like us or why they do not want us within that area. If Americans were still in the region, the Chinese would have never came to Scarborough because they would be scared. If our government allows the U.S. to come back over here, its OK with me," she says, referring to Washington's commitment to its mutual defense treaty with the Philippines that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reaffirmed last year.
But the solution to the dispute is as distant as ever. Litigation at the United Nations could last years. Most of the local fishermen do not have so much time. So while the governments squabble, many of these fishermen and their families will have to leave the only life they have known and start from scratch somewhere else.

"He doesn't remember you wearing a T-shirt and yoga pants covered in baby spit-up."
That's Carol Fishman Cohen talking about my former supervisor. Actually, she's talking to hundreds of people attending an iRelaunch Return to Work conference.
After spending many years as stay-at-home mothers, Cohen and Vivian Steir Rabin created iRelaunch to help others return to work.
Apparently, Cohen thought my former boss hasn't been following my three years of stay-at-home motherhood, with all of its typical battles with a small child's feeding and diaper schedules. Or the subsequent divorce, which made my job search that much more urgent.
Maybe he remembers me talking my way into real estate meetings two days after 9/11, going into downtown hospitals to meet the few people injured but alive after the terrorist attacks and walking onto ground zero to interview carpenters cleaning up the site.
After I get home from the conference, I e-mail my former supervisor to ask him about opportunities at his latest company. He sounds happy to hear from me and asks me immediately to focus on what I want to do next and get back to him. (What a delightful question in this economy.)
There's nothing like being told that my insecurities about returning to work were normal before I made that call -- and, lucky for me, only inside my head. A 16-year veteran of the media industry (not including that three-year mama gap on my résumé), I needed to change my thinking about my abilities and experience. That realization was a key moment in my return to work.
Although the current 7.7% unemployment rate is the lowest since December 2008, jobs are still scarce, and technology is rapidly changing the ways many industries do business. It still feels like an uphill climb for people who want to return to work to find jobs. It's easier to get a job if you have a job, according to a 2011 UCLA study. And the same study shows that the longer you're out of work, the harder it is to get a new job.
I knew all that depressing news, but it couldn't stop me. Being thrust back into paying my own way, I was highly motivated to find paid work, no matter what. So I took advice from anyone who sounded smart to me, applied what I liked and left the rest behind.
Self-doubt and real-world challenges abound for anyone looking to return to work this new year, whether after a hiatus for parenting, health issues or a job loss. But there are a few ways to prepare oneself for battle. I found the most useful tools at that iRelaunch conference. Here are Cohen's suggestions for getting back in the game:
Figure out your strengths and interests
Soon after I stepped out of the rat race to parent my child full-time, the media industry appeared to collapse before my eyes. Newspapers were laying off colleagues everywhere, magazines were shutting down, and everyone was expected to do more with less. After attending the conference, I did a career assessment to identify my skills and what I like to do, and I tried to imagine where else those skills could be applied.
Despite my assumption that my investigative and research skills would be useful nowhere but a newsroom, I soon learned that other industries value those abilities to dig and snoop and figure out the truth of a situation. They just don't publish the findings: They use them to make money. I also valued my volunteer work serving as a board member of a journalism nonprofit and fundraising for my daughter's preschool (although Cohen says to call it "experience" rather than "volunteer work").
Reach out everywhere
After more than 15 years in my industry, I knew people all over the country who were still working in media and many who had left the industry for jobs in other fields. I e-mailed or talked to everyone to let them know I was returning to paid work and asked them to let me know whether they had any openings. I asked former colleagues now working outside the media how they pitched themselves for corporate jobs and what advice they'd give to make that transition easier. I communicated with former colleagues using the professional social network LinkedIn rather than just plain old e-mail to signify my re-entry into the work world.
I also reached out to people I didn't know. My undergraduate and graduate school alumni offices found communications, consulting and university professionals willing to talk to fellow alumni about their work. Even the mamas on my parenting listservs turned out to be invaluable, as they knew what it was like to juggle full-time work and children. One mom at a really fun company offered to help me apply for a contract position (a valuable way to get a foot in the door) on the spot.
Can you do it?
You may want to head right back to work this minute, but you need to be realistic. If you have responsibilities to care for children or elders or a sick spouse -- or if your spouse or ex travels a lot -- you need to get support systems in place.
I switched my child from a part-time to a full-time school months before I returned to work so I'd be ready to start at a moment's notice. I looked for a job with some flexibility to work at home occasionally if my child is sick. My ex travels a bit for work, but because of joint custody, we mostly have been able to work things out. To be prepared for contingencies, I interviewed a lot of babysitters to help with school pickup if need be.
Start wherever you can

Hello blog! Hard to believe that after blogging weekly during pregnancy I've blogged 3 times since the baby came and she is now 9 months old!
I've thought about blogging and actually started this post several times, but I've never gotten past the beginning. I would like to share the ups and downs of incorporating wellness into my life with a new baby in the house, each day is a new challenge. Some days my diet rocks, other days I give into emotional eating. Some days my exercise is on target, others it is pushed to the back burner. I had forgotten how a baby can throw a wrench into one's plans and with two kids it is easier to get off track. Today, I had a feeling today of, wow it has been 5 months since I blogged and I'd like to get back to it, so let's make this happen.
I can't possibly sum up the past 5 months in 1 post. For the past couple months my wellness focus has been on repairing the body from pregnancy (as well as talking care of the kids, washing cloth diapers, cleaning the house, working, etc…). I got a nasty case of plantar fasciitis. Now it is getting better and I am seeing a physical therapist (Miriam Nelson at Cornerstone Physical Therapy) . We are working on my core strength, left hip area and my foot is getting better. I've also been seeing a physical therapist (Amanda Fugate at Cornerstone Physical Therapy) for pelvic floor strengthening. You may have read the post she helped me with when I was pregnant, or check it out now Kegel Exercises for Women What You Need to Know. Well, I have had great success in that area and for local Asheville ladies I highly recommend her if you want to get back to running and jumping !
My fitness goal is to do cardio 4 times a week for about 45 minutes, lift twice, and do a yoga class once. This is working for me right now. I feel so much better when I get my exercise in! My mood is better, I make healthier food choices, and I sleep better. When I don't take the time to exercise everything suffers.
The biggest change around our house (besides the whole new baby) is our food choices. I'll share more on that later. (sooner than the next 5 months!) I also don't know why this font is to tiny so I will try and work on that too.
Live Well,

EI News...
Dear Families,
Welcome to the Early Intervention Clearinghouse! Our mission is to serve the 20,000 families in Illinois who have infants and toddlers enrolled in early intervention (EI) services. We are a resource for you—we're only a phone call or email away. We have a library of videos, books, manuals, and journals related to the development of young children with special needs and their families. Our librarians are information specialists who can help find resources for you and your service provider. Our Web site links to other resources in the state and nation.
As a mom whose newborn was in EI more than a decade ago, I remember how I wanted information about my baby. I wanted to know if he was growing enough, babbling enough, walking soon enough. I wanted to know how to help him eat, play, and eventually sleep through the night. I also wanted to know more about the speech therapy, physical therapy, and developmental therapy we received. I found information here. We at the Clearinghouse hope that you will use this Web site to help yourself and your child. It helped me to know that the state of Illinois was invested in my son's future and my family's future through early intervention services.
Use our Online Request Form
when you have questions or want to request materials.
Several times a year, we'll share success stories of families whose infant or toddler was in EI. Read Katie's story of the Early Intervention Dream Team.
Warm wishes,
Susan Fowler, DirectorRead more Family Stories...
