don't askThe increasingly muddied picture of a country becomes...ironically: clearer
From the cyclone hit country of Burma, an intrepid reporter wallraffs a report illegally and among other things mention of home recorded DVD's being sold on a black market.
Well, of course its a 'black market'.
Do they think we have capitalistically elevated ourselves to the point we could brand and market DVD's of mayhem in stores legally?
OK, lame jabs at military dictatorships aside, passed blocked roads, stunted aid trickling in and state controlled media there are going to be worse negative death inducing spin-offs yet as PopSci reports:
Ripple Effect in the Wake of Cyclone Nargis
including a bad shock to an already lopsided food crisis in the making as the country dwindles its own food supply to its neighborsCyclone Nargis devastated the countries "rice bowl'' flooding 2/3rd's of the low-lying cropland of the Irrawaddy delta, which analysts say could cause famine
-- - - - - -
So what about aid from neighbors?
Where are Burma's neighbors?
One report called Burmas distinguished apathy and unwillingness to accept offers from its neighbors: "barbaric"
... and just who are this countries neighbors?
And not, by the by, if you believe this report.
- -
Furthermore its a stark observation to make , similar to saying 'Did you also notice the naked man was not wearing a shirt?' to say the Internet sure is getting more fluid for news
..just when you read a report reads that Japan could help Burma by releasing its stockplies of rice , lo, behold, faster than the click of a mouse...it gives them to the Phillipines.
This is after all commerce. Not starving people. Who starves for a living anyway?
So, as an aid worker reports in... you get the pic.
I'd watch Burma for sudden orders from its neighbors for bulldozers, face masks, rubber gloves and earth moving equipment thanks to the influx of cash from its helpful neighbors.
quizzicalLOVE, war and betrayal may be the stock in trade of the operatic repertoire, but composer Nigel Osborne's latest work updates the format to one of the most harrowing war zones of modern times – the Balkans..

Its all opera. Interestingly one of the players cant read music. Its on tour in Scotland before it travels to Turkey, Georgia, the Balkans and the US.
"In 1966, I was 16 and decided to hitchhike to Asia. I'd travelled over borders you couldn't dream of crossing today: Iran, Iraq, even Israel."
Sevdah ideal for opera ? What is sevdah?

Brookfield, Newfoundland.
Quote: "And the Nay Sayers say Global Warming isn't happening." Un-quote.
--
The Bush administration says environmental groups are using legislation such as the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Air Act to advance a climate change agenda to force the US into restricting its greenhouse gas emissions.
Critics of global warming say the polar bear measure would be used to take governments to court when they build new power plants.
Will the polar bear wink itself out at the costs of higher price for fuel?

@ Jumper of RYP's Black Flag Cafe
Overshadowed by co-defendant and movie star Wesley Snipes, a Lake County tax scofflaw named Eddie Ray Kahn perhaps deserved top billing...

Schiess and my word, my understanding from this story is that the tax filer on behalf of Snipes is a former Texas sherriff?

RYP, you can ban me and all of Prince Georges libraries, Universities and IP blocks for major providers
but you can't ban the truth...esp from your self. LOL
Unless you choose to do so! Ha hahahahhaahahaha....(emote Emo emote!)
brightBelieve it or not theres another reason to support the efforts of PETA besides Pam Anderson (do you get it?)(.)(.)

Click here to see why!

And that is the recent attack by a bear in California that killed a trainer
makes you appreciate these are first and foremost wild creatures meant to be an awesome spectacle with an appreciation mixed with caution for the way nature intended...not trained clowns for our entertainment "priveleges".
See the bear rehearsal in the Will Ferrel movie and the vs. actual take seen in the film
and I am sure any thinking person would feel the same way.
PETA tell us when we and our friends and neighbors go see (monkey see, monkey DO?) the new movie Speed Racer, what we won't see is the trainer who allegedly beat the chimpanzee who plays Chim Chim. Or see the chimpanzee bite an actor on the set.
The incident is downplayed here.
Or aggrandized by PETA, depending on which way you look @ it.

brightTerrible! Scary, too! Last time, if memory serves, the Prime Minister invoked the War Measures Act !

Loathe to mention but is this Couillard related in any way to the spotlighted ex-girlfriend of our national Foreign Minister, Maxime Bernier?
accident proneI wish Joseph Campbell were still alive. The amount of knowledge he would be able to transmit in a single sentence about the times which we live would result in transformation in a media structured world that would elevate his status to that of ...well enough said

For instance, imagine trying to finish this sentence for the venerable world myth authority Mr Campbell, take a ride on my imagination with me:
"Indiana Jones IS a hero, a modern day hero and/or/but_........if.."
- -
OK I'll start....you finish,...Indiana Jones is a:... "fictional hero". Period.
But actually in the middle of the Jones trilogy, Temple of Doom he does portray a hero.
I nominate this guy here as a true real life modern day hero.

None here! It's all available on-line.
But yes yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy......Canada has a fly by the seat of your pants Prime Minister.
Once hes done making speeches (this guy is never and I mean NEVER going to make it to the post of elder statesman)
he can next be found just as much at work as your average belly baller Canadian watching a hockey game
Canadas national anthem is not a song solely reserved for the passionate pastime of sports lovers to watch grown men in leotards chase a little black puck around on ice in skates.
don't ask
