My group also saw La Sarbonne University. It’s one of the most well known university in Europe and this university attracts people from all around the world. Many Americans go there to study abroad. The area where La Sarboone is, is where many of the student protests occurred. Remember the news that Paris had a few months ago – the government wanted to change the law about the jobs for the young people.

Now, I know that you may wonder what I did yesterday afternoon since I spent only ONE damn hour at those museums. Yes, I am still PISSED off! At least I’ll be in Paris for another 10 days after my group leaves. We went to the Latin Quatier,Chanel Handbags, a very popular area for young people. There are lots of cute little boutiques. I got an ice cream finally! The french ice cream are the best. Well, I actually didn’t really get a french ice cream. I got the italian vanillla galato and it was delicious! I know that the ice cream is very fattening, but I am walking a lot!! Hundred million times more than I do in United States. The Americans are the laziest people that I have ever known. They rely on cars too much. The French people rely on walking and that’s how the American lives should be and that would solve the obsesity problem in US! Although, according to my host family, that problem is just beginning to exist in France! There are McDonalds on every courner in Paris and of course the French are not too happy that the Americans are spreading their culture rapidly! Come on Americans, can we please stop spreading our bad culture??

Check this fairly decent fake (at least, I believe they’re fake) screens from the aforementioned Gunstar Super Heroes. I have to admit, I got excited when I first saw these…

So I called back, totally fuming. This time I got a really nice and competent sounding fellow (which is always the case the second time around… why can’t I ever get them the first time?) and explained him the original problem, the asshole who couldn’t fix it, and the supervisor who had the gall to hang up, and then demanded to speak with whoever was in charge. This guy was super (and genuinely) apologetic and tried to fix my problems while his superior was available, and changed the address. Finally I got his boss, another woman, and explained everything, and she too seemed sincerely appalled by such poor customer treatment. When she asked what she could do to make things better, I told her that nothing really could be done…. I had been mistreated and mislead so many times, given false and empty promise after false and empty promise, and countless assurances that my account would be appropriated credited for all the headaches that Sprint’s shoddy practices have given me, and none of it has ever materialized.

- Recently announced is Namco’s new classic collection for the PS2, which I’m getting just for Klonoa 1 which I foolishly passed the first time around (though I did grabsoundtrack when I came across it, which is now ultra rare… worth every single penny). Too bad it’s version of Ridge Race will most likely be based on the original PSone version and not the original arcade game.

But I did want something. What? A letter of apology. And what did I hear in response from the woman? “Absolutely. For a letter for an apology, please write to…” They wanted me to fucking write them a letter so I could receive a letter of apology? Fuck them. Fuck Sprint.

- As for the rest of the holiday weekend, I spent much of it getting acquinted with MK’s family. On Saturday we hung out with her grandmother who made us a really scrumptious dinner. Since I was interested in looking for an air purifier, I figured on checking out some local stores and MK though it would be a good idea to bring her along since she rarely gets the chance to get out of the house (she doesn’t have a car, and doesn’t even know how to drive), so she came with us to Target and Wal Mart.

Easter dinner itself included a visit from MK’s uncle Brendan, who’s really funny, and his wife and two daughters. The highlight of the evening after dinner while MK was in the basement doing laundry and I was in the bedroom reading comics; I noticed a burning smell, but didn’t think too much of it (no offense to her, but MK’s mom is not a great cook, so I… as well as others….. assumed it was just some dessert she was trying to make). But after a while, I went downstairs to ask MK if she smelled anything, and then I noticed some smoke coming out of a light where a wall and the ceiling met). We reported this to everyone else and MK’s mom called the fire department while the rest of us evacuated the house, though we made sure to also take with us out valuables, like the rest of the donuts from the morning. About a thousand fire, police, and EMT folks showed up and after some investigating, took out the problem light and disaster was averted.

The demo is available now, but only in French. Once I find out about an American version, I’ll pass it along. Meanwhile, you can see the game in motion here.

- I also finally got this past Friday. I’ve been meaning to switch forever, but it finally took the worst experience with Sprint customer service last week to finally drive me away.

I managed to find a good deal on a decent air purifier at Target (I’ve spent all last week doing research online) plus I scored some DVDs at primo prices: X2 for $13 and Pulp Fiction for just $10. I also got Starfox Assault because they had copies without the annoying “Best Seller” imprint on it. Yes, I’m one of those video game dorks. And Wal Mart was fun just for the people watching aspect. Seemed like every employee had a sore or something on their faces and my fave “customer” was some fat kid with a mohawk that was running around who at one point said “,Chanel Handbags;Dang!” either due to extreme bemusement or disappoint, I forget which. MK and I mainly just killed time in the toy section so her grandmother could just flex her legs, and I found some “robot feet” from the film Robots that makes mechanical sounds when you walk (just think of those Hulk hands but for your feet). It reminded me of an idea I had a for a cartoon character a whiles back… Rodney the Robot Kicker. He was a dog transported to the future when robots had replaced man’s best friend, so he goes around in huge robotic boots (the feet from some fallen foe) and just kicks other robots. Anyway, I’m so pissed that they didn’t have any in adult 10 and a half.

And then she hung up on me! What a bitch!

- Some quick game related stuff….

Everyone keeps saying that “well at least it looks awesome” and the animation is technically impressive, but even that wasn’t enough for me. Then again, it’s really not Otomo’s fault… he help set the standard of what anime looks like and folks have been following his lead (i.e. copying him) for years now, to the point that he distinct look and style is practically generic. But still, too much time and way too much money was spent on a film that’s ultimately bland and by the numbers. Some films just misses the boat and you can see potential in spots, but this one was just a drawn-out, boring, loud mess.

I was trying to pay my monthly bill online last week and discovered that there was no way to change my billing info via the Sprint website (I had just moved and needed to add my new Brooklyn address). So I called customer service and the first person instantly switched me over to this guy who off the back had some serious attitude. After a few minutes, not only did the guy say the problem was not fixable, he said that you can’t pay your bills online anyway. When I told him that I had been paying my bills online for two years, he said “No you weren’t.” I didn’t feel like arguing, so I demanded to talk to his supervisor, and then the guy started to protest “What did I do wrong?! What did I say?!” I just kept saying “I want to talk to your supervisor, and eventually I got someone.

- So Steamboy was pretty disappointing. MK did a good job covering all the basics here, but the biggest problem I had with the film was how mediocre and generic it ended up being. Granted, I had fairly lofty expectations going on; I wasn’t hoping for another Akira (since nothing that’s never going to happen), but I was expecting something more than some generic anime action yarn set in the pseudo-past with steam powered mecha which at this point has been done to death.

Unfortunately, all the excitement meant that I got home much later than I had hoped, but I still stayed up to install the Airport Extreme card on my eMac and was finally able to catch up on all the email that’s been piling up over the past week. Plus I even downloaded some music from Gran Turismo 4 overnight.

At least it’s better than the next Jax game that’s going to be some racing game. Boring…

So immediately afterwards, I went looking for another carrier. Verizon was immediately out of the questions since PixelJump’s tools and software is incompatible with Verizon’s, so it was down to T-Mobile and Cingular. Even though I knew T-Mo sucked from hearing friends bitch about the crap reception and dropped calls, I was still tempted due to the Samsung e715 which I’ve had my eye on since day one (so fucking sexy) and now it can be found at a reasonable price.

Then there’s the abysmal translation, which gives you the constant feeling that you’re missing something, and the at times annoying voice acting. You have a great talent like Patrick Stewart who has seemingly nothing to work with, so he’s just yelling for the sake of yelling and his character just comes off sounding like Picard in that one Star Trek movie where the Borg is taking over the ship and he goes all Rambo, which is as cheesy as it sounds. And as for the characters, none are especially noteworthy or compelling (or even likable), and all they did was yell the whole damn time.

This person, a woman, asked what the problem was. I explained the reason why I called first, and then described the guy attitude from right before. And then she said the one thing which I always hear from a Sprint rep that drives me totally nuts: “I’m sorry, but I can’t hear you.” And to that, I had to reply with an honest: “Of course you can’t hear me, no one can hear me, cuz I’m on Sprint!”

Later that night we watched the Paris Hilton episode of SNL, which I wouldn’t have bothered with if not for the fact that I hadn’t seen television all week since moving and was dying for just something. It wasn’t a totally wretched episode… the nerd phone sex sketch was pretty funny… but there was one called Bear Land, which is about when all humans have died and bears have replaced them in society, yet they can’t talk , that was positively the funniest, most absurdly brilliant thing they’ve had on for years (bear in mind, I was a hardcore Toonces the Driving Cat fan).

- Speaking of racing, here’s some screens from Trackmania Sunrise, an intense looking PC racer from France that I’ve been eyeing for a while (being an arcade racer fanatic and all). Looks fucking insane…

- So it would seem Sony’s Dual Shock infringes on some patents, and they are gonna have to pay some big bucks. But this is Sony, they’ll survive, plus it only really applies in the US. And as one person has already pointed out, is legal crap like this why the really cool stuff stays in Japan?

But I eventually decided upon Cingular and the Sony-Ericsson Z500a. I’ve been using it for a few days now, and it’s not a bad little phone. While I initially had issues with the OS, I’ve found it to be just as robust as Samsung’s, and in some instances better (I was using the a620. The phone may seem too big, but I actually like the size, its feels ultra comfortable, the construction is very sturdy, and has terrific reception. I just wish the ear piece was a bit louder and that there every button could be personalized. Plus, like every cell phone out there, it comes with the worst assortment of ringtones known to mankind. Seriously, who the fuck thinks a baby crying makes a ringtone?!

- So Sly Cooper 3 is coming later this year. Okay, not a big surprise. But how about a Ratchet and Clank game without Clank? Apparently he goes solo in his next game, which is supposed to be more mature in tone, but it’s really a pointless and dumb idea. No gives a rat’s ass over Ratchet, some malformed furry; it’s all about the cute little robot!

Next up is Strangers in Paradise, which I’ve forever heard acclaim about, 30 Days of Night, MK’s other fave comic, Blue Monday, the next Hopeless Savages collection, and some other stuff that’s I’m blanking on. Plus I should probably try to finish Cromartie High School vol. 1 which I picked up at Jim Hanley’s last weekend sometime soon.

- While in Jersey, MK gave me even more comics to read, which has really come in handy since I now have to deal with the slow-ass R train. Last week I got through the Teenager From Mars trade which was a lot of fun, and while at the beach house I read the first four issue run of Hopeless Savages. Late last night, while making ramen, I started the first Y The Last Man trade and I should be done by the end of tonight. And yes… I have finally cooked a meal at my new place! It’s the first meal I have cooked in literally years!!!

Like MK and others have mentioned, the story is both nonexistent or completely nonsensical. I’m one of the few who completely understood what was going on in Akira, and at the 60% mark in Steamboy I just stopped caring. And a weak story would actually be okay, but the film had none of the atmosphere or other ethereal qualities that one would expect in an Otomo piece.

And as MK said, I guess I’m just pissed that there was no giant robot near the end.

Afterwards, he headed out to MK’s family beach-house with a brief stop at a Wawa for some late night chicken sandwiches. We got to bed super late and I slept in till around 1ish the next day. Thankfully MK let me sleep in while her and her mother went to church, and on the while back, she ran over some exposed pipe in the middle of the road or something which slashed a tire. Christ, I’ve never met anyone who’s had such bad luck with driving before.

First the attempted expulsion from the House of Representatives. It failed. Next, fielding a nuisance candidate registering his name as Joselito “Peter” Cayetano. Now, it’s Alan’s citizenship.

All these can be linked to senatorial candidate Alan Peter Cayetano’s courage to bring to public attention the information about a multi- billion dollar in a German bank that could possibly be traced to the Arroyos.

The following report is by Evangeline de Vera for Malaya.

Is the government picking on Taguig Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano?

Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez said he received a tip last Saturday that Cayetano, a member of the 12-man Genuine Opposition senatorial ticket, is a “green card” holder, courtesy of his American mother.

“I’m looking at it. If it’s true,Chanel Handbags, then we have to tell the Comelec,” he said.

In an interview with ABS-CBN, Cayetano dismissed claims that he is not a natural-born Filipino citizen, as required for election candidates.

The congressman said that his mother, Sandra Schramm, is an American by birth. He, however, had given up his American citizenship a long time ago.

Cayetano is a son of the late senator Rene Cayetano and a brother of Sen. Pia Cayetano.

Gonzalez said the issue could be a mere technicality since former Immigration Commissioner Andrea Domingo had issued Cayetano a certificate of Filipino citizenship.

But, he said, Cayetano could still be disqualified if it is found that the certification has not been affirmed by the justice secretary.

Gonzalez was referring to the policy followed on Dec. 20, 1996 by then Justice Secretary Teofisto Guingona Jr. in a different case.

Guingona cited in his opinion a directive dated Sept. 7, 1970 issued by former Justice Secretary Vicente Abad Santos which provides that “identification certificates issued pursuant to orders and decisions of the Bureau of Immigration, which have not been affirmed by the DOJ, are not per se evidence of Philippine citizenship.”

The directive further said that “where the decision involves the determination of the citizenship of the claimant-applicant, the decision shall be forwarded to and shall not be implemented until affirmed by this Department.”

Gonzalez said that if Cayetano cannot produce any records of recognition by a DOJ secretary, then he will technically be considered an alien.

Asked if he is likely to recognize Cayetano’s Filipino citizenship, assuming that the latter has not yet obtained a DOJ confirmation, Gonzalez declined to comment.

“We have to study the effect of that recognition directive. Technicality na lang ito,prada handbags,” he said.

Gonzalez said Cayetano may have been able to run before because nobody bothered to question his citizenship.

On another issue, Cayetano and Chairman Benjamin Abalos of the Commission on Elections traded barbs after the COMELEC approved the senatorial candidacy of Cayetano’s namesake, Joselito Pepito “Peter” Cayetano.

The congressman,Wholesale replica PRADA, who is running for senator under the Genuine Opposition, said COMELEC failed to investigate the background of his namesake. “[COMELEC's] law department should have done a simple cursory investigation,” Cayetano told DZMM.

He said that based on television news reports, the other Cayetano is called “Jojo” by friends and neighbors in Barangay Sasa in Davao City. He added that there is no marine engineer named Pepito Cayetano in the records of the Professional Regulation Commission.

Ilocos Norte Rep. Imee Marcos, meanwhile, said that as far as the party is concerned, Pepito is not a member of the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan. Marcos is a KBL member.

In his certificate for candidacy, Pepito indicated that he is a marine engineer running under the KBL and his nickname was Peter. COMELEC earlier upheld Pepito’s candidacy, saying that KBL is a legitimate party.

Abalos defended COMELEC’s decision, saying that the congressman does not have a monopoly of the surname Cayetano.

“It’s not that you [have a] monopoly. Just because [you're famous], just because you’re on the top list of survey, just because you’re a congressman, you don’t want anyone else with the same surname run against you. That’s not right,” Abalos said.

He said that with the filing of the petition for disqualification, COMELEC can question the KBL candidate and investigate his background.

Last week, COMELEC scratched off 42 people from the list of those who filed their certificates of candidacy for senator. COMELEC said it will allow the 42 candidates to justify their capability to wage an effective nationwide senatorial campaign. (with ABS-CBN report)

CULTURE FEST,Gucci Handbags

Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management,Chanel Handbags, Delhi,Prada Purses, recently organised Tatva-2006, the annual cultural and management festival of the Institute. C R Jayasinghe, high commissioner for Sri Lanka, inaugurated the two-day festival. It witnessed participation from over 30 B-Schools from across the country. After various competi?tions, the fest concluded with a performance by Parikrama as the grand finale.

Highlighting the use of technological intervention for development in interior Maharashtra, IIT Bombay (IIT-B) has created a master plan for the Rahata block (Ahmednagar district) comprising 58 villages and two towns.

“A number of districts in interior Maharashtra do not have access to facilities like water and electricity, though they may have natural resources that can be exploited. We’ve created a plan for a bunch of villages. We are calling it a model block,Replica Watches,” said IIT-B dean of research & development Krithi Ramamritham.

The project is being funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). “The DST approached us to prepare a detailed project report to develop a model block. We conducted a survey during 2006-07 and have submitted our report whereby we want to take technology to the people. The DST is looking forward to implementing it at Rahata, in collaboration with the Rajiv Gandhi Commission for Science & Technology and IIT-B,” said K Narayanan, professor of Economics at IIT-B and the principal investigator in the project.

Narayanan said depending on the project’s success, the DST plans to replicate it in other blocks, each comprising at least 50-60 villages,Hermes Handbags, across the country. He said it was one of the first such efforts to plan for a “model” block, with a focus on providing technological and institutional support to generate employment and create assets at the grassroot level.

The report says since agriculture is the primary occupation in the block, information technology (IT) should be used for providing climate and weather forecasts,Louis Vuitton Handbags, market prices and expert consultation. “The block has institutions like Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Babhaleshwar, which can train farmers in the use of IT,Chanel Handbags,” the report said.

A significant recommendation is a change in crop pattern and enhancement of income though high-yield crops.
