<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;m back to school working hard, but only for nine more days, and then I&#8217;m off to California.  Thanksgiving was cool, different this year, but it was a nice break.  I went to Globe, AZ to where my sister currently resides.  The drive was about three hours so it was pretty long.  Its a really small town, but it was alright.</p>
<p>For Thanksgiving, we went to these people&#8217;s house and ate dinner with them and their family, so it was a lot of people and kids and stuff; the food was good too.  The rest of the days we didn&#8217;t do too much, just hung out and stuff.  Later we went to these people&#8217;s house a couple doors down to eat some more food and desserts and play games, it was slightly awkward since it was mainly little kids and then old people, not OLD people, but older people.  This weekend I watched a lot of movies and tv, it was pretty bad, but it was nice being a bum for a while.  I watched The Hitcher, Role Models, Rush Hour 3, Saw IV, and then a bunch of other shows and stuff.  My sister&#8217;s roommate also has a fun dog, she liked me <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Friday night I believe, we went and saw The Blind Side, it was pretty good, but it cost nine dollars!  In this tiny little town, well $8.50, but then a .50 cent fee for using debit -_- but it was still a good movie.</p>
<p>On Saturday we went to the Apache Reservation which is just like 15-20 minutes away from Globe.  It was really big.  We visited this family and he gave me this dvd of elk hunting, it should be interesting, I&#8217;m going to watch it sometime.  Later, we ate at this little restaurant on the reservation; we had fry bread, an Indian taco, it was good and I must have been hungry because I ate the whole thing.</p>
<p>I headed back on Sunday after going to church in the morning.  We left at 5:30pm, it got dark quick too.  The roads were really windy and dark and all white and icy.  It was snowing really really hard, it looked like star wars outside.  We had to go 15-20mph in the 55mph zone cause it was so dark and icy and we were slipping and sliding; you couldn&#8217;t see more than like five feet in front.  Eventually we made it back to NAU though, after over 3 hours.</p>
<p>Now I only have nine more days, this week and two days of finals next week, and then Wednesday I&#8217;m off on my adventure to California, it should be interesting.  I&#8217;m looking forward to it, it will be nice to have a break from classes also for winter break.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The Globe skate team seriously rips. They definitely have one of my favorite teams in the industry to watch. Besides Girl maybe. Or Alien Workshop. Jake Duncombe kills and word is he has a pro model shoe coming out. Which should be the shit. David Gonzales also kills as well as Mark Appleyard. How tech is Luis Oliveira? And Ryan Decenzo. And they are having a completely free full production movie online for us to enjoy. And this is the sixth episode of that. United By Fate episode six. This episode doesn&#8217;t really feature anyone it is more of a montage of the whole team in a small warehouse. It&#8217;s impressive though. And seeing that they got all these tricks in such a short amount of time it&#8217;s impressive. Click the picture to watch it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>J. Simpson of the <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/why-the-dog-of-a-nuclear-deal-with-india-didnt-bark/article1370370/" target="_blank">Globe</a>, Nov. 19, 2009:</p>
<p><em>The photo ops are staples of Mr. Harper&#8217;s international touring in which every step, camera angle and utterance is planned meticulously in advance for maximum television coverage and minimum opportunity for questioning of the Prime Minister.</em></p>
<p><em>But on two substantives issues between Canada and India, nothing happened. The trip that was supposed to complete a nuclear technology transfer agreement and an accord protecting foreign investment produced zilch&#8230;&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Today&#8217;s <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/canada-india-ink-nuclear-deal/article1381488/" target="_blank">Globe</a>:</p>
<p><em>Canada, India ink nuclear deal</em></p>
<p><em>Ottawa and Delhi have concluded negotiations on a deal allowing Canadian companies to resume sales of uranium and nuclear technology to India</em></p>
<p>OK so Jeffrey was wrong, it happens.</p>
<p>But this deal is good news for our technology and uranium producers.  I also think it is a fine example of how growing technology and trade agreements can be used to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.  It is likely this nuclear trade deal will have a greater long-term impact on carbon emissions than anything Canada may sign in Copenhagen next week, or institute domestically in the next decade..</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>The Positive Leader</strong></p>
<p>We value the humanity, humanity pays for that and loves for ever by heart. Christ, Budha, Krishna, Gandhijee, Mhavir Swami, Mohammad, Gurunanak, and many more, are the real leader, those, who have worked for the People, with the People, and devoted self without considering their own interest, even life too, to-day also people remembers, praise and salute them, People requires honesty, welfare activities, improvement, regulation, safety, due care of the dependants, once the trust and assurance is received from the leader, the people gets ready for their sacrifice for the sake of nation. They gets motivation for devotion for their nation and country.</p>
<p>All the leaders or political leader or the ruling leader must understand that they are the trusty of the chair, and they have to see the welfare of the citizens of the kingdom.</p>
<p><a href="http://krishnakant-gandhi.socialgo.com/">http://krishnakant-gandhi.socialgo.com/</a></p>
<p>Only few leaders are working like wise, if all are working, the whole earth, world, globe, becomes heaven and there can not be the scope for War, Clash, Disturbance, or destruction. People will not like to leave this earth.</p>
<p>Me pray to God, that they should give such a good, positive, powerful, constructive, welfare base understandings, feelings, attitude, and approach for the growth of Globe.</p>
<p>Change the Mind Change the Life!</p>
<p>Change the Leader Change the Lifestyle!</p>

<p>Leader must learn, that he has to work for society and not for self, work for over all development and not self, interested, influenced area or group, should not be crazy for the power and money, but should be crazy for devotion, social work, social security, and improvement towards modernization.</p>
<p>Hope the world leader will do to save the Globe.</p>

<td width="90%"><span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Krishnakant &#8211;Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, Americans across the country will sit down together, count our blessings, and give thanks for our families and our loved ones.American families reflect the diversity of this great nation. No two are exactly alike, but there is a common thread they each share.Our families are bound together through times of joy and times of grief. They shape us, support us, instill the values that guide us as individuals, and make possible all that we achieve.So tomorrow, I&#8217;ll be giving thanks for my family &#8212; for all the wisdom, support, and love they have brought into my life.But tomorrow is also a day to remember those who cannot sit down to break bread with those they love.The soldier overseas holding down a lonely post and missing his kids. The sailor who left her home to serve a higher calling. The folks who must spend tomorrow apart from their families to work a second job, so they can keep food on the table or send a child to school.We are grateful beyond words for the service and hard work of so many Americans who make our country great through their sacrifice. And this year, we know that far too many face a daily struggle that puts the comfort and security we all deserve painfully out of reach.So when we gather tomorrow, let us also use the occasion to renew our commitment to building a more peaceful and prosperous future that every American family can enjoy.It seems like a lifetime ago that a crowd met on a frigid February morning in Springfield, Illinois to set out on an improbable course to change our nation.In the years since, Michelle and I have been blessed with the support and friendship of the millions of Americans who have come together to form this ongoing movement for change.</p>
<p>You have been there through victories and setbacks. You have given of yourselves beyond measure. You have enabled all that we have accomplished &#8212; and you have had the courage to dream yet bigger dreams for what we can still achieve.</p>
<p>So in this season of thanks giving, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to you, and my anticipation of the brighter future we are creating together.</p>
<p>With warmest wishes for a happy holiday season from my family to yours,</p>
<p>President Barack Obama</p>

<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure most of you are familiar with these images that have been circulating the blogosphere]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;m sure most of you are familiar with these images that have been circulating the blogosphere:</p>
<p><img src="http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/ii403/hahayouredeadblog/AlGoresGlobalWarming001.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/ii403/hahayouredeadblog/AlGoresGlobalWarming002.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>First, let me point out that Al Gore has <em>failed </em>at proving that Global Warming exists. That&#8217;s like trying to prove that Santa exists. Sure, wouldn&#8217;t it be dandy? But facts are facts and fiction is fiction. So, what does a has-been politician do when his life&#8217;s work has been proven time and time again to be a fraud? Well, if this has-been politician is Al Gore; he resorts to Photoshopping &#8220;evidence&#8221;. I mean, Photoshop trumps science, right? Wrong. Sorry, Al. It doesn&#8217;t. Just like whining about pregnant chads doesn&#8217;t win an election. YES, we all remember your whiny ass complaining about pregnant chads and dimples on ballots.</p>
<p>In the images above you can clearly see that several <em>massive </em>hurricanes have been Photoshopped. It&#8217;s been proven that hurricanes are at a 30 year low. Here are some graphs I found at <a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/09/22/global-warming-more-hurricanes-still-not-happening/" target="_blank">Watts Up With That</a>:</p>
<p><img src="http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/ii403/hahayouredeadblog/AlGoresGlobalWarming003.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Both Northern Hemisphere and South Hemisphere</strong> AND therefore <strong>overall </strong><strong>Global hurricane activity has continued to sink to levels not seen since the 1970s</strong>. Even more astounding, when the Southern Hemisphere hurricane data is analyzed to create a global value, we see that <strong>Global Hurricane Energy has sunk to 30-year lows</strong>, at the least. Since hurricane intensity and detection data is problematic as one goes back in time, when reporting and observing practices were different than today, it is possible that we underestimated global hurricane energy during the 1970s.</p>
<p>Using a well-accepted metric called the Accumulated Cyclone Energy index or ACE for short (Bell and Chelliah 2006), which has been used by Klotzbach (2006) and Emanuel (2005) (PDI is analogous to ACE), and most recently by myself in Maue (2009) , <strong>simple analysis shows that 24-month running sums of global ACE or hurricane energy have plummeted to levels not seen in 30 years</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/ii403/hahayouredeadblog/AlGoresGlobalWarming004.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<blockquote><p>Why use 24-month running sums instead of simply yearly values? Since a primary driver of the Earth’s climate from year to year is the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) acts on time scales on the order of 2-7 years, and the fact that the bulk of the Southern Hemisphere hurricane season occurs from October – March, a reasonable interpretation of global hurricane activity requires a better metric than simply calendar year totals. The 24-month running sums is analogous to the idea of “what have you done for me lately”. During the past 6 months, extending back to October of 2008 when the Southern Hemisphere tropical season was gearing up,<strong> global ACE had crashed due to two consecutive years of well-below average Northern Hemisphere hurricane activity</strong>. To avoid confusion, I am <strong>not specifically addressing the North Atlantic, which was above normal in 2008</strong> (in terms of ACE), <strong>but the hemisphere</strong> (and or globe)<strong> as a whole</strong>. <strong>The North Atlantic only represents a <em>1/10 to 1/8</em> of global hurricane energy output on average but deservedly so demands disproportionate media attention due to the devastating societal impacts of recent major hurricane landfalls</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Interesting, indeed. Visit <a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/09/22/global-warming-more-hurricanes-still-not-happening/" target="_blank">Watts Up With That</a> for more information. Unless you&#8217;re a liberal. From what I understand; you liberals aren&#8217;t all that interested in facts and information. But, it&#8217;s there if you ever decide to quit being morons.</p>
<p>If you look at the second image I posted; the one with the faux-hurricanes&#8230; you&#8217;ll notice that the Arctic has magically disappeared! Funny, since the Arctic ice is currently at the SAME levels as 1979. The good people at <a href="http://www.dailytech.com/Article.aspx?newsid=13834" target="_blank">Daily Tech</a> pointed this out.</p>
<p><a target="_blank"><img src="http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/ii403/hahayouredeadblog/AlGoresGlobalWarming005.jpg" alt="" width="412" height="156" /></a><br />
(click to enlarge)</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Rapid growth spurt leaves amount of ice at levels seen 29 years ago.</strong></p>
<p>Thanks to a rapid rebound in recent months, global sea ice levels now equal those seen 29 years ago, when the year 1979 also drew to a close.</p></blockquote>
<p>Visit <a href="http://www.dailytech.com/Article.aspx?newsid=13834" target="_blank">Daily Tech</a> for more information.</p>
<p>Also, NASA points out that the average temperature of the water near the top of the Earth&#8217;s oceans <strong>has significantly cooled since 2003</strong>. <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2006/sep/HQ_06318_Ocean_Cooling.html" target="_blank">CLICK FOR NASA ARTICLE</a></p>
<p>BBC has found that we have <strong>not observed any increase in global temperatures</strong> for the last 11 years. Yes, that&#8217;s over <strong>ONE DECADE</strong>. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8299079.stm" target="_blank">CLICK FOR BBC ARTICLE</a></p>
<p>So&#8230; tell me&#8230; Why does Florida appear to be dissolving in Al Gore&#8217;s lame Photoshopped images? What the hell happened to CUBA? Last time I checked; Cuba still exists. Also; look at the SIZE of those faux-hurricanes. Anyone who actually believes this Global Warming bullshit simply WANTS to. There is no other conclusion.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something fun:<br />
<B>Letting Al Gore know we aren&#8217;t falling for his junk science, Portland, Oregon 11/18/09</b></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/eLBJkEtKqls&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/eLBJkEtKqls&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Wake up, people. He&#8217;s cashing in and making BILLIONS off of easily influenced MORONS.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>For the past two days, I&#8217;ve been unable to receive incoming text messages from Globe.  I can make outside calls and text to people, but for some reason, nobody returns my text messages.</p>
<p>Today, in exasperation, I went to Globe in Greenhills, they checked the SIM card and my phone and told me that I needed to have my phone reflashed.  I had to wait almost 30 minutes for them to tell me that.  The Globe personnel told me that Nokia would have a way of backing up my phone .</p>
<p>I was referred to Nokia and waited in line again.  The not so cordial  Nokia person told me that they would have to reprogram (without really even checking my phone), and that they have no way of  backing up the phone. The Nokia guy shakes his head and  tells me that Globe should&#8217;ve done that for me.  </p>
<p>But since they didn&#8217;t  I&#8217;d have to use the PC suite to do that.  And bring the phone back to be serviced and that&#8217;s a cool Php 700.00 once they service your phone.</p>
<p>Anyway, I decided to go home and look for my PC suite cd (which is incidentally part of your Nokia package and the USB).  </p>
<p> I came across my MIL who incidentally had had the same problem ( after she lent her phone to my son).  She told me to check my messages settings and to check them carefully- if the settings were set to receive messages.  Incidentally, mine was switched to NO messages from the same center.</p>
<p>I belatedly realized that I had lent my phone 2 days ago to my son (who apparently does more than play games on my cellphone).</p>
<p>Anyway, I changed the setting to YES and lo and behold my phone is working again! </p>
<p>This made me realize that the guy at the Globe center, should have just checked my message settings to fix my most immediate problem. </p>
<p>In fairness, he was very cordial and helpful, but I think GLOBE should train their people better to assess and troubleshoot the cellphones before they forward the client to NOKIA service centers.  They also should take the time to educate themselves on what services the NOKIA centers really offer.</p>
<p>NOKIA service centers seem to serve the purpose of just reprogramming. They stand to profit a lot from non techie people ( like me ) who would&#8217;ve had their phones serviced without even understanding that it was an accidental change in the phone setting that had caused the problem in the first place.</p>
<p>Had I not talked to my mother in law and figured it out, I would&#8217;ve been Php 700.00 poorer today.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a big fan of the Shakespeare story &#8211; who was he? Why did the greatest playwright the]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;m a big fan of the Shakespeare story &#8211; who was he? Why did the greatest playwright the world has ever known leave virtually nothing to prove he wrote the plays that bear his name? Why did he leave no books when he died? Where did he learn all the information &#8211; botanical, historical, international &#8211; that crops up in his plays? Could those plays have really been created by a small provincial insurance clerk who ran away to become an actor?</p>
<p>Whatever the true story is, one fact is unassailable: that the man known as Shakespeare didn&#8217;t actually write the plays that we have today. That&#8217;s not to say those words weren&#8217;t primarily his &#8211; but if he ever wrote those words down, nothing survives today. Instead, the plays we know today as &#8216;Shakespeare plays&#8217; are the work of two men who have been largely forgotten: the actors John Heminge and Henry Condell.</p>
<p>I say &#8216;largely forgotten&#8217;, but in the churchyard of St Mary Aldermanbury is a memorial dedicated to both of them &#8211; and it&#8217;s my favourite memorial in London.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://marchaynes.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/2006_04190005.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-581  aligncenter" title="2006_04190005" src="http://marchaynes.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/2006_04190005.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /></a></p>
<p>While the bust of Shakespeare sits proudly on top of the memorial, the plaques on the main body are dedicated to Condell and Heminge. The text reads:</p>
<blockquote><p>To the memory of JOHN HEMINGE and HENRY CONDELL, fellow actors and personal friends of SHAKESPEARE. They lived many years in this parish and are buried here.</p>
<p>To their disinterested affection the world owes all that it calls SHAKESPEARE. They alone collected his dramatic writings, regardless of pecuniary loss and without the hope of any profit, gave them to the world.</p>
<p>THEY THUS MERITED THE GRATITUDE OF MANKIND.</p></blockquote>
<p>The two were Shakespeare&#8217;s co-partners at the Globe theatre in Southwark, and on his death in 1616, &#8220;from the accumulated [plays] there of thirty five years, with great labour selected them. No men then living were so competent having acted with him in them for many years, and well knowing his manuscript, they were published in 1623 in Folio, thus giving away their private rights therein. What they did was priceless, for the whole of his manuscripts with almost all those of the dramas of the period have perished.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no question of an authorship controversy here &#8211; why the two men would have freely given away a whole raft of plays they could have claimed as their own (many plays of the time being written by partnerships rather than single named writers) is a noble refutation to the idea Shakespeare was not the sole author.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s incredible that if it wasn&#8217;t for them, the works of Shakespeare could have been lost to the world forever. Heminge and Condell were the fine thread between us having the work of the world&#8217;s greatest writer and it being lost entirely.</p>
<p>How different the world would be if they hadn&#8217;t sat down one day, with a pile of dusty papers and half-remembered passages they&#8217;d performed a decade before, and thought, &#8220;Well, maybe we should try and get the lot of them written down for posterity.&#8221;</p>
<p>It starts to make me think of all the great work that&#8217;s been lost forever simply because there was no Heminge or Condell around to save it. Everytime someone performs a Shakespeare play, there should be a round of applause at the start for the men who ensured that those words survived.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://thejakartaglobe.com/lifeandtimes/a-whiff-of-whimsy-travel-sometimes-requires-trust/343511" target="_self">*Jakarta Globe, 25 November 2009</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Strangers. The word tends to have an ominous cloud hanging over it. But in the beginning, everyone is a stranger, an unknown quantity — even the people who become our friends.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As a journalist, chatting to random people comes with the job. It’s a prerequisite, in fact.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The other day, I struck up a conversation with two middle-aged men watching a salsa class in San Francisco. They were from Guatemala. After conversing about dancing and being immigrants, the portlier of the pair said, “You’re very open. Most women here don’t normally speak to strange men.” What a pity, I thought, because those women missed out on meeting these two who, with twinkles in their eyes, taught me a little about their country.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I like strangers. They are a novelty with their different points of view and stories.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But like the Guatemalan said, trust in this day and age is hard to come by. After all, if colleagues can backstab you, friends betray you and spouses more likely than not cheat on you, then who’s to say the strangers you befriend aren’t liable to harm you?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Traveling in unfamiliar territory, everyone I meet is a stranger — a possible threat or friend. So as a solo traveler, I try to be more cautious. But on any journey, nothing quite goes as intended. In my experience, strangers have enhanced my travels and, more often than not, come to my rescue.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As a foolish youth driving solo across England and Ireland, I managed to get my car wedged in a ditch. There, surrounded by dense fog, past midnight, in the countryside somewhere between Dublin and Galway, I sat in the dark waiting for help. Eventually, I flagged down two men on their way home from the pub. Unfortunately, due to the substantial amount of Guinness in their system, their car ended up in the same ditch as mine. It was only after the pub closed and the rest of the inebriated villagers came our way that we were saved.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This time my story began when a 5,000-pound steel cable snapped off the San Francisco Bay Bridge, causing it to close for a few days. Due to the bridge closure, Amtrak canceled its buses, which I needed to connect to a southbound train, leaving me stranded in the city. Amtrak did leave a note on the bus stop sign. Catch the train in San Jose, it read. Nothing else.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I went to the local subway station to find a train bound for San Jose. A kind attendant informed me that the southbound Amtrak would leave the next morning. “Do you have a place to sleep tonight?” he said. At the train station, naturally. Unfortunately, the stations close at night, was his reply.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lack of lodgings was the least of my worries. My mission was to catch my train to San Diego. The route I had to take was simple: a Bay Area Rapid Transit train from San Francisco to Millbrae followed by a Caltrain to San Jose where I was to wait for an Amtrak bus to Santa Barbara, and finally a train to San Diego.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Zipping down to Millbrae, I was slightly apprehensive. Was San Jose the right place to catch up with my wayward Amtrak transportation? Midnight was closing in fast. I turned to the elderly couple behind me and asked if they knew where I could catch the Amtrak train to San Diego. Their names were Bill and Rosanne, and they were on their way home from watching the musical “Wicked” in San Francisco. There were no trains till tomorrow. Again came the question: “Do you have a place to sleep tonight?” “No,” I replied.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Before alighting in Millbrae, Bill turned and said, “You can sleep on our couch tonight.” And with those words, the kind pair saved me from spending the night outside of the San Jose station.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So I hopped into their car and we drove to their home in Belmont. It was a quaint old house with a porch, the random passing deer or raccoon in their yard, a kitchen with flowery wallpaper and a brown-and-white Papillon dog called Mickey.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When Bill discovered my budding love for riding long-distance trains, he took me to his basement. On a wall a sticker read: “My wife says if I buy one more train she’ll leave me. Gee, I’ll miss her.” Bill is a railway aficionado.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">He had spent the last 41 years turning the basement into a miniature country of undulating mountain peaks, canyons, clouds and cities connected by railways tracks and trains of all shapes and colors. We talked of trains till well past the witching hour.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It wasn’t until I was snugly settled on their couch that a thought crossed my mind — what if they were a couple of elderly serial killers? Laughable misgivings that dawned too late and completely unwarranted for the kind couple shepherded me onto a train headed for San Jose the next morning.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A friend of mine once asked what it feels like to befriend strangers. I had answered: happy. Looking back, I’ve changed my mind. My answer now? Grateful.</p>

Weidmann</p></div>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Jimmy-The-Jew:  &#8221;Roissy in DC&#8221;</strong></h1>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p><strong>Now, let me just say this.  I have never felt the need to dedicate a post to Roissy because we all know (in his many pathetic, repeated blog posts dedicated to me) that is exactly what he wants.  He wants to be the &#8220;dark villain&#8221; and the &#8220;dangerous man&#8221;.  Sadly, most women can see upon reading a few words of his that he is not a dangerous nor scary man.  He&#8217;s a sad, lonely, 40&#8217;s-something guy&#8230;..stuck in a big city&#8230;..where he just can&#8217;t keep up with the competition  (please refer to what he looks like and what he WEARS as a man his age to see what I am referring to).</strong></p>
<p><strong>*I am interested to see if Roissy &#8220;takes it like a man&#8221; or shrieks like a schoolgirl and demand it be removed.  ( I say this because Roissy has felt free to find and post photos of me, my family, my personal info, and anything else he can find to &#8220;call me out&#8221;).  I wonder if the &#8220;dishee&#8221; can also take it.*</strong></p>
<p><strong>Desperation drips from his false online persona like a broken rusty rain gutter that everyone gave up on fixing long ago&#8230;&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you are NOT familiar with blogger, &#8220;<a title="Roissy in DC" href="http://roissy.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Roissy in DC</a></strong><strong>&#8220;&#8230;&#8230;I&#8217;d suggest you click and read a bit of his blog (you&#8217;re welcome, Roissy).</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is a man who claims to be a Master of Seduction, a Jesus-Like Savior of (wimpy) men, a Colossus of Gaming, and of course an all around &#8220;Ladies Man&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>He extols the virtues of dodging child support payments, physically intimidating your wives &#38; girlfriends to &#8220;keep them in line&#8221;, and even encourages men to &#8220;raw-dog&#8221; it and have as much unprotected sex as you possibly can (gross&#8230;.can you say STD&#8217;s and MORE babies in foster care???).</strong></p>
<p><strong>Unfortunately, the men he is preying upon don&#8217;t realize that he is NOT out to help them, NOT out &#8220;offer advice&#8221;, but out ONLY to reassure himself in his aging, middle-aged, desperation&#8230;..that ANYONE still wants to hear what he has to say.</strong></p>
<p><strong>You all know the expression &#8220;Well&#8230;.if I&#8217;m going down&#8230;.I&#8217;m taking everyone with me.&#8221;  THAT is exactly what Roissy&#8217;s &#8220;Game&#8221; advice to men is.  It&#8217;s like the crack under a recovering crack-heads nose&#8230;&#8230;.the &#8220;miracle diet pill&#8221; to the lifetime Anorexic&#8230;&#8230;and the walking, talking ENABLER of the further decline of modern men in today&#8217;s society.  He encourages men to go back to the &#8220;id&#8221;&#8230;..the caveman inside themselves&#8230;&#8230;.and care about nothing but eating, sleeping, and fucking.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Every step that man has taken forward in the world, Roissy helps them to take a step back.  For every man who DOES have discipline and character (and self-control)&#8230;&#8230;Roissy helps to enable 10 more NOT to be.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The chauvinism, arrogance, and cock-obsessed points aside&#8230;&#8230;Roissy is a living breathing example of the stereotype that many men have been trying to not be a part of:  drooling, horny, pussy-obsessed, &#8220;cocks-on-wheels&#8221; with not a thought in their head except finding a warm-hole.  (Pardon the nasty expression, but that is the main thought process of men like these).</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anyway&#8230;..I received an email directly from a mysterious (and generous) Miss X.  This is evidently a woman who feels much the same way that I do and is tired of witnessing this sort of degradation in our society as whole. </strong></p>
<p><strong>*NOTE:  I will remove tidbits from the email that could/would give away the identity of &#8220;Miss X&#8221; and how she may be &#8220;familiar&#8221; with Roissy.  I will also mark my own comments with *asterisks* and <em>Italics</em> so there is no confusion.*</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Dear Lady Raine,</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve been a longtime admirer of your contributions to the debate at Roissy&#8217;s. However, his recent smugness has exceeded even my tolerance, and I thought I might offer a little birthday present to you to offset the bile you&#8217;ve received from him:</strong></p>
<p><strong>I believe I know Roissy&#8217;s real name.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I know that you like investigation&#8230;. take a look at James (Jim) C. Wiedmann, employed by FINRA (a private finance regulatory body in D.C.). Also interviewed in the Mail and Globe article &#8220;When Players Turn Into Boyfriends.&#8221; See if this rings any bells:</strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:xx-small;">The pickup artist&#8217;s message for wannabe players and boyfriends alike is essentially &#8220;don&#8217;t be a wuss,&#8221; says J. Wiedmann, a Washington-based white-collar-crime investigator. Mr. Wiedmann, who did not want his full name used, launched his &#8220;reality-based seduction&#8221; blog, &#8220;Roissy in DC: Where Pretty Lies Perish,&#8221; last year. Reviled and beloved, the blog is full of devilish relationship strategies.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><br />
</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size:xx-small;">&#8220;I&#8217;ve written about the importance of instilling dread in your girlfriend by turning off your phone twice a week, or calling her from a busy place where women are laughing in the background &#8230; despite her protestations to the contrary, a little bit of uncertainty goes a long way to keeping her aroused for you,&#8221; Mr. Wiedmann said in an interview.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><br />
</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size:xx-small;">Aside from the usual fawning and vitriolic responses to his posts, Mr. Wiedmann has been seeing more pleas for relationship advice in his inbox lately. &#8220;Most of my male readers ask for advice on how to win that &#8216;one girl&#8217; over. They&#8217;re struggling to get out of the discount bin of the sexual market,&#8221; he says.</span></em></strong></p>

<p><strong>Roissy published a blog entry entitled &#8220;I Am In the Globe and Mail,&#8221; but has recently deleted it.<br />
(<a rel="nofollow" href="http://roissy.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/i-am-in-the-globe-and-mail/" target="_blank">http://roissy.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/i-am-in-the-globe-and-mail/</a>).</strong></p>
<p><strong>He is 41. His birth day and month are the same as listed in this profile, but he lies about the year. This is what he looks like.<br />
(<a href="http://www.puaconnect.com/roissy/" target="_blank">http://www.puaconnect.com/roissy/</a>)</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;d like any further confirmation, try a Google search for &#8220;Roissy&#8217;s real name.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>He loves to brag about his exploits, but abuses women while hiding under a cloak of secrecy. And now he is making it a personal crusade to attack all the women on his blog who are still willing to stick around. Please be careful &#8212; some of the men at his site are very angry and seem a few minutes away from snapping.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>From one woman to another,<br />
Miss X</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>*<em>I also received this in my comments section from another one of my readers</em>*</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>You should send Roissy a nice thank you card:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jim Wiedmann<br />
1778 Lanier Pl NW #9C<br />
Washington, DC 20009</strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>*<em>OH, JIM&#8230;&#8230;.LOL&#8230;..what does one even say about this?  Other than the fact that a 41 year old &#8220;finance-nerd&#8221; who dresses like he&#8217;s a 21 year old emo-prep college-boy.  The fact that he constantly berates women and evidently LIES about his age even to his own readership is really rather funny.  I recall so many articles talking about how &#8220;young hot women just LOVE old, pasty gross men&#8221; and now I know why he&#8217;s so desperate to get other men to believe this kind of thing.</em></strong></p>
<p><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><strong><em>You would think that JUST the fact that he&#8217;s a middle-aged, pasty-white finance-Jew posing as a playboy would be reason enough for people to disregard his opinions and advice (like most people already do)&#8230;..but there are and always will be looking for their &#8220;own personal jesus&#8221; to tell them it&#8217;s okay to hate women, hate life, hate responsibility, hate morals, hate &#8220;hard work&#8221;, and hate ANYONE AND EVERYONE that you can possibly think of to blame for being  what they have become.</em></strong></p>
<p><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><strong><em>This falls into my &#8220;<a title="Why People Are Assholes" href="http://ladyraine.wordpress.com/2009/08/" target="_blank">Why People Are Assholes</a></em><em>&#8221; post.  Roissy may not be a big-name who is going to influence anyone who actually matters&#8230;&#8230;but he&#8217;s certainly known enough to be influencing men who otherwise may have turned to look at THEMSELVES (yes I know introspection is a crazy concept for guys like him) for their failures/shortcomings in life.</em></strong></p>
<p><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><strong><em>It&#8217;s a dangerous world we live in when there is a &#8220;miracle pill&#8221;, a quick fix, and a (insert random group) to blame for everything a person DOESN&#8217;T do to be responsible for their own lives.</em></strong></p>
<p><em><br />

<p><strong><em>Our good friend Jimmy-The-Jew, here is just one of them.*</em></strong></p>

<p><em><strong>*Yes, Ladies I know&#8230;..it&#8217;s hard to control yourself in the presence of such an <a title="Okay, fine it's Colin Farrell" href="http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/05_04/AlexanderL_228x350.jpg" target="_blank">Adonis</a></strong><strong>, but please try to remain calm for the sake of our female dignity.*</strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em>Update:  Much like I expected&#8230;.some of Roissy&#8217;s shrieking henchman came here telling me I have &#8220;stepped over the line&#8221;.  For a bit on the &#8220;history&#8221;&#8230;.this is the first time I have published a &#8220;post about Roissy&#8221; on my blog.  Roissy has published at least 6 or more posts specifically about me.  Containing personal photos of me AND MY son&#8230;.which is &#8220;unsavory&#8221; in the first place.  But he then continued over the past 6 months to try to slander me, give out personal info (like mentioning the town I live in as often as he can) and worst of all posts porno videos and says that it is ME in the video (and isn&#8217;t.)  He has publicly posted lies on his blog accusing me of prostitution AND pornography and attached my photos to the (complete lies) he is telling.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>I never really bothered posting about it here on my blog, because anyone who knows me in real life knows those things aren&#8217;t true and are ridiculous&#8230;..but that doesn&#8217;t change the fact that Roissy likes to go and play in people&#8217;s lives and slander innocent people for his own amusement and to up his blog stats without remorse and without even having  a good motive to do it.  Just because it gets him attention.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Well I think it&#8217;s high time someone finally fixed his little red wagon, and I&#8217;m certainly the woman for the job <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></strong></p>
