Ignignokt Shut Down Boston Yesterday with a Massive Bomb Scare


CNN is reporting the city of Boston reacted to outdoor installments placed by CartoonNetwork to promote its Adult Swim series "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" by calling a bomb-threat. The ads consisted of an electronic circuit board with LED lights in the shape of one of the show's characters. In DIY fashion, the units had a home assembly appearance with exposed wires making them appear of questionable origin. The devices were placed in several locations in several cities: Boston; New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Atlanta; Seattle; Portland, Oregon; Austin, Texas; San Francisco; and Philadelphia. The light-up characters only raised a scare in and around Boston.

Daily News : January 29th 2007

Disclaimer: I wrote this at 4am last Wednesday and yes that is a pic of my cast and no I didn't break my leg.

Have you ever considered the theory of "an eye for an eye a tooth for a

tooth" or do you believe in karmic retribution, luck, coincidence,
fate?
In life I do my best to treat others as I would like to be treated.
And fully agree with for every crime there should be an equal
punishment.
Why am I bringing up these ambiguous questions you ask?

I bring these questions up for last week I helped out a fellow friend.

I drank responsibly, sent myself home at a reasonable hour even shared a cab
with a friend to cut the cost. After dropping my cab mate off I receive a
call from my homegirl whom I had left at the concert hall. Mind you I am
8 blocks from home on the UWS and she is on delancy and bowery.
I tell her no worries, ill turn the cab around and drive you uptown and well
get some food.
Good deed no?
As I'm stepping out of the taxi I don't realize that the street is uneven and a huge chuck of street is missing from beneath my foot. I trip and fall badly hurting my knee and breaking
my fall with my left ankle. I pick myself up and hobble down the block
to my wasted friends car. I remove my shoe and drive us the 80+ blocks
uptown. Once home my boyfriend who is 300+ miles away tries to console
me and my dog try's to make me feel better but to no avail something is
not right. I send myself to st. Roosevelt hospital and here is where I
sit. After 3 xrays, 2 ice packs, 2 perkaset, 1 tetnis shot, 3 homeless
people and a few nice young ER doctors I'm there at 4am. Waiting. Waiting
for an answer as to if I fractured my ankle, waiting for an answer as to
how did this happen to me and trying to figure out if its karma biting
me in the ass for my good deed, a punishment for crimes of my past or
just plain back fucking luck. All I know is the perks are slowly kicking
in and watered down apple juice is decent but I would really like to
know what the f is wrong with my ankle!!!! Will someone please help me
out. Public health care is frightening! Yet, I thank all the people who
are here at all hours to help me in my time of need.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck


I’m fucking outraged! This right winged conservative Arian bitch needs to get sent the fuck back in time and left in the 50s when women were barefoot and pregnant. She has NO RIGHT to be on TV and supporting her family with her prehistoric value system. She’s a pro-life, bush loving, Neanderthal. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was anti-semetic to boot.

I was late to work today because I couldn’t tear myself away from the View to hear what ignorance was spewing from her lips. Not only did she fully support the president and all of his efforts, but she even went as far to say, and I quote, “ I did not sense desperacy in his speech.” Desperacy what the fuck does that mean Hasselbeck do you also use conversate instead of converse. Desperation is the word you were looking for!

I want this BITCH FIRED!!!

She wants to put women back in time and I cannot believe she has procreated and is going to pass on her ignorance to future generations. She does not speak for me and I am ashamed that she is representing my generation on broadcast television LIVE everyday to all of America. Most of this country is filled with ignorant fucks and now they listen to this dribble. The View reaches over 3 million viewers… did you hear me, 3 MILLION viewers. Think for a second who these 3 million people are who are actually at home at 11am week days. I have even scoured the Internet looking for a clip from the show where she bashed the morning after pill but it has been erased from youtube (wonder why?). Honestly, I’m so worked up right now talking about her. She makes me fucking sick, I’ve cursed like a sailor throughout this whole rant. I should be using my words, you know considering I have some command on the English language, unlike our fair Hasselbeck. Oooo those women on the View should hire me, America will not know what hit them. Ratings would skyrocket. I needed to vent about this.

Below you will find some facts about Hasselbeck:

Elisabeth represents the conservative position on The View, defending creationism and opposing euthanasia and abortion. She was a supporter of President George W. Bush's reelection campaign and delivered a primetime speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

She has taken up cervical health as her personal crusade and encourages women to have regular exams. In recent years she has worked with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Making Memories Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, The Wireless Amber Alert Program Initiative and The World Scholar Athlete Games.

Since her appearance on Survivor, she has married (in July 2002) her college sweetheart, current New York Giants backup quarterback Tim Hasselbeck

On an episode that aired on August 2, 2006, Hasselbeck got into a heated debate in which she strongly opposed the Food and Drug Administration's plan to sell the "morning after pill" as an over-the-counter drug. Experts are unsure as to whether the pill only prevents the release of an egg or also prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg. Hasselbeck stated, "I believe that life begins at the moment of penetration... and when that egg is fertilized..." She felt the pill should even be banned in cases of rape and incest, because even then "that life still has value." Hasselbeck argued that advocates of the drug use the "rape or incest" exception as a bait-and-switch distraction from their real desire to make it universally accessible. She argued if the "rape or incest" exception was all advocates cared about, they would not support its over-the-counter status.

The Angelika



The Angelika
This past Saturday, Sapna and I made plans to check out a " Mafioso" at the Angelika. After braving the bitter cold and looking forward to seeing this 1962 black and white mafia flic we were more than happy to sit in a toasty movie theatre with snacks and escape nyc for an hour or two. Unfortunately this was not the case. Not only could we not see the screen due to the prehistoric movie seats and a screen smaller than my LCD at home, but it was freezing in there AND the white subtitles on the black and white film were illegible until an actor in a dark coat walked by the writing. I couldn't wait to leave that theater. So next time I want to catch an indie or a foreign flic it will NOT be at the Angelika with their $6 lates. scoff! I turn my nose up at you stuffy and pretentious Angelika theatre. Get some f'in stadium seating. Foreign film should not equal discomfort.

Ethanol Gas

It truly only takes one person to open your eyes to something you knew little about. Hopefully while people put me on I can put you on. I truly did not know that Brazil does not rely on imports of oil for gas. Here is some background and information on Ethanol/Alcohol. Something we should push for in our country. We needn't be dependent on foreign oil to sustain ourselves. Keep in mind too that Brazil produces ethanol from sugarcane which is relativly easy to do, while in the US they are pushihng to produce ethanol from corn which is more costly and difficult. While on the topic of oil dependancy may I mention that if hemp also makes a viable energy sourse and has a production rate of up to 10 tons per acre, every four months. ( http://www.thehia.org/hempfacts.htm )

The U.S. imports 60% of its oil and barley produces 10%. While Brazil's efforts are being closely followed by countries with big fuel bills. India and China have sent a parade of top officials to see Brazil's program.

Brazil's National Program for Alcohol: a few facts

With the 1973 oil crisis the Brazilian government, then run by the general Emílio Garrastazu Médici, initiated in 1975 the Pró-Álcool program.

The Pró-Álcool or Programa Nacional do Álcool (National Alcohol Program) was a nation-wide program financed by the government to phase out all automobile fuels derived from fossil fuels (such as gasoline) in favour of ethanol. It began with the anhydrous alcohol to blend with the gasoline. This mixture has been used since then and is now done with 24% of alcohol and 76% gasoline. The program successfully reduced by 10 million the number of cars running on gasoline in Brazil, thereby reducing the country's dependence on oil imports.

The decision to produce ethanol from fermented sugarcane was based on the low cost of sugar at the time. Other sources of fermentable carbohydrates were tested such as the manioc.

Daily News : January 19th 2007

Excerpts from the article:
What struck us most was how deeply the Iraq war has radicalized today's generation of young Muslims in Britain. Whether extreme or mainstream, they are angry about the war, angry that their country so devotedly follows U.S. foreign policy, angry at what they see as a worldwide war against Muslims and Islam.

"The new threat is radicalism. It's a cause. Every young man wants a cause."

Extremists and radicals are very adept at playing the media's game. Even though they are a minority, a small number of them can gather on a corner, hold a protest or demonstration and get a massive amount of media attention and air time. That's because today's mostly tabloid media culture in the UK has sensationalized the "Muslim issue" and focuses only on the extremists, rarely finding the facts, context and texture beneath the surface.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/01/17/warwithin.amanpour/index.html

It is really important that you take some time out to see the direction in which public opinion regarding the United States and Muslims is effecting and shaping our future. Decisions that are made today by our representatives in office will shape the opinions of our generation and ultimately our futures. I could really go on a wild rant right now but I'll hold off for another day.

HDTV : Jump on it!

HDTV
High Definition television is the wave of the future. If you are not tech savvy or have no interest in home theatres then this won’t interest you at all. As for me and mostly everyman I know it is as important as air. We all long for a big screen TV, best quality picture, surround sound, and silence during the game, movie or favorite show.


I have recently become the proud momma of the illest LCD/HD TV of life (and no you can’t come watch the game). Having entered a whole new world of HD, monster component cables, HDMI, wide screen format and surround sound I now see little reason to leave the house. If you have yet to see the crystal clear quality and lifelike picture that HD offers I recommend you phone a friend or stop by your nearest Best Buy and check it out. The quality is so incredible that a silk shirt or the sand on the beach looks like you could reach out and touch it. Football games well, all sports look like you’re on the field. HD is the wave of the future, do NOT get left in the dark. While many stations don’t record in HD format they will soon and until they do you can brush up on my favorite HD channel national geographic and get your learn on.

Here is a listing of all of the shows that are shot in HD and some other useful info about HD.

Shun Lee Cafe

SHUN LEE CAFE : Dim Sum
43 West 65th off Broadway
212.595.8895

“Fried or Steamed” the waiter asks with open eyes I respond, "steamed," since I see this cart closest to our table. A young dim sum auctioneer approaches our table wheeling a large cart of smoking bamboo baskets. She then in the most rapid candor spits off in one breath “shrimp with scallion, shrimp shumai , shrimp with crab, chicken, pork, vegetable, chicken with shrimp,” and a slurry of other options which I could not grasp since she was testing my mental preparedness to understand her verbal dim sum onslaught.

Now armed with bamboo baskets of steamed shrimp dumplings and having conquered out first lesson in dim sumauctioneering we were ready for the fried cart. The fried cart was a piece of cake and now our table was booming with shumai , egg rolls, fried mango shrimp, sesame chicken and scallops. All that was left to do was dollop sauce on our plates and let the chops sticks balance our little tokens of Chinese fish and meat carefully to our mouths.


After polishing off 6 orders of dim sum and a shared entrée my dinner date turns to me and asks, "Why exactly haven’t you taken me here before?"
So for this reason alone I felt it was important to try and persuade you to go there as well. While the dim sum in my opinion is some of the best in the city be prepared to spend a pretty penny on your meal. If you prefer Chinese food because it’s cheap and hot then I don’t recommend you eat here. This is a dining experience to be savored and enjoyed. Mmm mmm dim sum.

Hi-Tek : High Teknology

You may or may not be familiar with who Hi-Tek is so allow me to fill you in. He is from the Natti aka Cincinnati, Ohio he is a producer extraordinaire and you are probably most familiar with his work on Reflection Eternal with Talib and Black Star with Mos Def and Talib. ( If you are not familiar please, stop reading my blog). This most recent musical feat from Hi-Tek is refreshing and well I've been jamming to it for a few weeks. My favorite tracks which I recommend tuning into are:
-Music for Life feat. J.Dilla, Nas, Common, Busta Rhymes & Marsha Ambrosius
-Let it Go feat. Dion & Talib Kweli
-Baby We Can Do It feat. Czarnok
-So Tired feat. Dion, Bun B, Devin the Dude & Pretty Ugly
There are other semi-quality tracks but these four happen to be my favorites. Here is a link to his myspace page so you can get a taste for yourself. Just as a disclaimer the song on his page are the wak ones from the album. They should have sought my approval before making those selections. http://www.myspace.com/hitek

Bush to address the nation on Iraq : tonight at 7pm



“If you really want to change the situation on the ground, demonstrate to the president he’s on his own,” said Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. “That will spark real change.”
.. an exerpt from the ny times aricle ..
In both chambers, Democrats made clear that the resolutions — which would do nothing in practical terms to block Mr. Bush’s intention to increase the United States military presence in Iraq — would be the minimum steps they would pursue. They did not rule out eventually considering more muscular responses, like seeking to cap the number of troops being deployed to Iraq or limiting financing for the war — steps that could provoke a Constitutional and political showdown over the president’s power to wage war.

Dubai



I'm absolutley obbsessed with Dubai. My girl Sam just mentioned to me that she would be travelling there soon and it dawened on me that I should put you nice people on the some really insane feats in architecture and construction that are going on middle eastern style. These picures are of a series of man made islands that will sit off the coast of Dubai. A few are called the Palm Islands becasue well, they are shaped like palm trees. While the most exclusive island is the world. So if you ever wanted to live in Africa in Dubai you can. Check out the links I provided to learn more. Did I mention Georgio Armani and Trump both will have hotels there. Let's book a flight...
