Cateva stiri despre ce se mai intampla p-aici si nu numai. Sunt multe si-mbarligate, si-s cam toate din presa streina. Se da si bere!
In primu' rand, LCBO (1) are acum Ursus. Pentru cei care nu stiu, alcoolul in Ontario si in multe alte parti este monopol guvernamental si poate fi cumparat numai de la anumite locatii. Avantajele sunt selectie larga si preturi rezonabile, dezavantajele sunt ca nu gasesti sa cumperi cu sticla dupa ora 8pm (numai cateva sunt pana la 10pm). 
Sunt cateva vinuri romanesti, dar Ursus e prima bere romaneasca sa intre pe piata. In acest mod, tocmai la timp pentre BBQ season, imbatarea a devenit o datorie patriotica, de sustinere a economiei nationale.

Doi tembeli si-o trag cu pistoale Taser (3, 4). Pistoalele Taser descarca 50000 V in cine vor muschii tai, rezultand in anihilarea muschilor lui. Este interesant ca desi pistoalele Taser au ucis deja zeci de oameni - chiar daca firma producatoare le considera non-lethal si intr-adevar, mai mult paralizeaza temporar decat ucid - ele nu se "bucura" de regimul armelor de foc, putand fi cumparate liber. Firma incearca sa le vanda si femeilor, sub sloganul "siguranta n-a fost niciodata asa sexy". Iata si articolul:
A man who was charged with felony menacing in a double Tasering incident over the weekend said he only fired at a private security guard after the guard pointed a stun gun at his mother's face.
Harvey Epstein, co-owner of Mamacitas restaurant on The Hill, was arrested Saturday night after he got into an altercation with two officers from Colorado Security Services, one of whom had booted a company vehicle for being illegally parked in the alley behind his Mexican restaurant.
Epstein said the van was on his property and should never have been booted. When he tried to cut the device off with bolt cutters after the guard refused to remove it, the situation escalated.
"(The guard) pointed a stun gun at my mother's face and I immediately responded with my personal Taser," Epstein said Sunday evening, within an hour of being released from Boulder County Jail. "And we shot each other at the same moment."
Epstein, 36, said one of the guards jumped on his back after the Taser duel and pressed the barrel of his pistol against the back of Epstein's head.
When Boulder Police arrived, they arrested Epstein and charged him with felony menacing and use of a stun gun during commission of a crime.
He was released on a $2,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court June 6.
Epstein said he owns a Taser because he handles "large amounts of cash" and closes the restaurant "well past midnight," often escorting employees to their cars.
Exactly what happened behind Mamacitas at 7 p.m. Saturday depends on who's doing the talking.
According to a police report of the incident, Colorado Security Services employee Robert Streiff, who manages parking issues for several businesses along 13th Street, told police he affixed a boot to the restaurant van because it was blocking a trash bin and was sticking out into the alley.
Streiff said upon discovering the immobilized vehicle, Epstein told him he was going to "kick his ass" and held a pair of bolt cutters over his head in a threatening manner. Streiff called for his supervisor, Casey Dane.
Dane told police he reached for his Taser after Epstein refused to drop the bolt cutters. That, according to Dane, is when Epstein pulled a stun gun out of his pocket and shot him.
He fired back, stunning Epstein in return.
Dane told police he only pointed his Taser at Epstein's mother, Carmen Epstein, after she picked up her son's stun gun, which still had its probes buried in his skin.
Another witness having a smoke in the alley told police he saw Epstein holding the cutters in a "menacing" way and refusing to drop them when the guards ordered him to.
Carmen Epstein, and Mamacitas employee William High, insisted to police that both guards pointed their pistols at them.
Dane and Streiff said they never took out their guns.
Boulder police Sgt. Pat Wyton said Sunday that Dane acted properly because he felt that Epstein might try to hit him in the head with the bolt cutters.
"The security guard was in the right -- he felt threatened," Wyton said Sunday.
Streiff, who was reached at Colorado Security Services' offices in Boulder Sunday night, declined to comment.
Acum ca Google a adaugat romana la limbile de traducere, iata c-au iesit si polonezii c-un robot (5). Robotul asta iti va raspunde in curand la telefon si iti va citi textele programate de administratorul de "customer service". Deja cei de care dai cand suni la o firma care lucreaza cu publicul citesc scripturi (in sensul computeresc al cuvantului). Acum nu vor fi in stare nici macar sa-ti dea un supervisor la care sa tzipi :)
Romania da iarasi tare in tzepari si cardari (6). In colaborare cu US, am "saltat" o retea de 38 de cardari interantionali, din care 27 d-ai nostri (acuzati si nejudecati inca). Tre' sa facem si noi ceva, ca EU ne sufla-n ceafa cu coruptia si justitia (7, 8, 23) iar Curtea Constipationala ii salveaza pe toti marii talhari, din care cei mai mari sunt probabil in insasi Curtea Constipationala. Cata vreme au inceput sa ancheteze Revolutia si Mineriada (43) si raman inca semne de intrebare cu privire la renditia din Ro (42), e oricum bine ca la noi se vb deja de ce se-ntampla cand nu mai fura ai nostri in afara ci tot de la ai nostri (13).
Italia da in imigrantii ilegali (9), in majoritate romi din Romania (21, 22). Ziarele care raporteaza aceste stiri de obicei fac distinctia intre cele doua etnii diferite, dar ma-ndoiesc ca toti cititorii inteleg asta. In plus, se precizeaza (10): Romanians are said to be responsible for most of the illegalities committed by foreigners there. There is no clear indication that criminality rates for Roma from Romania are higher than for their non-Roma compatriots.Italia nu este singura in violente antiimigranti, Sud-Africanii au facut la fel (11, 19). Deportarile astea masive de "refugiati economici" practicate de germani, francezi, austrieci si acum si de italieni sunt cel mai probabil incalcari ale drepturilor omului dar pe de alta parte, nu ne permitem noi (si aia cu-atat mai putin, ca-s analfabeti) sa protestam. Si-apoi, ce sa protestam, cand Base scapa cu basma curata pentru remarca aia cu "tigan imputit" (12). Umberto Bossi, ministrul italian cu federalismu' e plin de umor involuntar:
People ask us for safety and we must give it to them.Un "doctor" francez fara licenta care lucra la o clinica particulara a operat vreo 100 de romanasi, cat si-a facut vacanta p-aici. Inainte a facut acelasi lucru cu 500 de italieni. Nu cred ca era Cousteau, ca ala era mai mult cu animalutze marine. In afara de asta, alte nume frantzuzesti nu-mi vin in minte. Se pare totusi ca-l chema Pinori (24). A avut loc un festival al filmului documentar in in Miercurea Ciuc. Juma' din cele 44 de documentare au fost facute de artisti unguri, 30% de unguri romani si restul de artisti locali (25). Parlamentul roman a votat sa restrictioneze vanzarea mancarii kk in scoli (26). Eu am crescut cu "bomboane agricole" care erau destul de sanatoase, ca sa nu mai vorbim ca probabil mi-au antrenat si sistemu' imunitar. Tinerii jurnalisti sunt tratati cu tot felu' de spertzuri de saptamana lor - International Students Week in Timisoara (ISWINT). Sper ca intra si bloggerii la categoria asta, si-astept Mertzanu' s-apara la poarta, eventual Made in Ro cu multe fuste peste. Evenimentu' va avea loc July 21-30 si data limita de inscriere este 25 Mai si va avea tema "Revolution: Real vocation meets virtual education". Este organizat de ISWINT (27) si Association of Students in Journalism and Communication (ASJC). Informatii la asjc.bucuresti@yahoo.com or contact@iswint.ro. Pe frontul economic:
- ne aplecam urechea la plansetele bulgareilor, si ridicam taxele de pod (28)
- ne mai apropiem de Israel nitzel, macar in speech-uri, importuri de diamante si tehnica de varf, ca Serbia sau Bulgaria inca nu vor sa se alipeasca, nici macar cu Cadrilateru' (29)
- mai construim o centrala nucleara oficial pana-n 2020 (30), dar daca merge ca si cealalta, o terminam in secolu' urmator, cand vom fi emigrat pe-o alta planeta unde iar au ajuns italienii primii.
- ne mananca inflatia (6%, previziunea revizuita), si n-ar trebui sa mire pe nimeni, in timp ce deficitu creste cu 10.9% (31)
- contribuim la triumful imperialismului band din ce in ce mai multa Coca Cola (nu numai cumparand avioane) - 32
- se va face un nou ski resort (33)
- Cosmote baga o noua oferta promotionala prepaid (34)
- cu cei 4.16 milioane, suntem a 2-a piata ca marime din Europa Centrala si de Est de pensii private obligatorii (35)
- am cazut un loc in topul competitiviatatii globale, fiind acum pe locul 45 (36)
- dar investitiile straine au crescut cu 40%, la 1.2 miliarde euro in primele 2 luni ale anului (37)
- desi se construieste in draci, facem cu 56% mai putine locuinte decat media europeana (38); in Italia si Spania, de pilda sunt 15 noi locuinte la mia de locuitori, in timp ce la noi sunt abia 2.1; nu numai ca le construim noi, dar probabil tot noi stam in ele acolo :)
- Mercedes o sa-nceapa sa faca masini la noi (14, 15, 21), ceea ce-i un lucru bun, intrucat romii care se-ntorc la vatra vor avea o selectie mai larga de masini noi de cumparat. Poate - cine stie? - se-apuca sa si lucreze acolo, ca-i mai usor de "luat" masina asa.
- Renault nu se lasa mai prejos, si-n ciuda grevelor, pompeaza 600 milioane de euroi in urmatorii 3 ani (41).
- Ne facem si cu avioane. Americanii ne vand si ei cateva avioane acolo (16, 17), ca-i mai mare rusinea sa mergem tot pe MIG-uri. Si-n plus, prietenii astia mai mari si mai babani costa, nu vin gratis. De bucurie ca ne baga americanii in seama, ne vindem o fabrica de avioane (18), ca tot nu facem nimic cu ea daca o sa cumparam de la ei.
- Vimetco, un producator de aluminiu, a cerut acces la energie ieftina de la guvern, si cand a fost refuzat, a decis sa-si ia jucariile si sa plece-n China (40).
