What to do in my first anime convention?
July 8th, 2010Well the anime convention is like 4 months away but I want to be prepared and I’m so excited. Can I just wear casual clothes? Also do I have to bring an adult with me since I’m only 14? Should I book the hotel where the convention is at? Could you give me some tips? That all I really wanted to know and I’m going the Saboten Con in Phoenix, AZ with one of my friends. (:
You can wear casual clothes, but usually you wear a cosplay (dressing up as an anime character). And yes, an adult is nessecary in order to get, until you are 18. If you live close to the con, you shouldnt really need a hotel, unless you plan on going for 3 days or something. The only true rule at a con, is to HAVE FUN. Its a great place to be, and you can act like an idiot, and not get wierd looks, because people usually DO act like idiots haha.
Have fun, animecons are amazzziiiinnngggg!

July 8th, 2010Effects of Spill Spread as Tar Balls Are Found
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON
NEW ORLEANS — All along the Gulf Coast for the past two months, the threat of oil hitting shore has kept communities on edge.
But the sight of oil on a Texas beach and at the passes leading into Lake Pontchartrain over the weekend has reinforced what many already suspected: nowhere along the coast may be left unstained by this huge spill.
While the tar balls discovered in Texas appear to have been an anomaly, the tar balls in Lake Pontchartrain, a brackish body of water that is technically an estuary of the Gulf of Mexico, are another sign of the oil’s steady encroachment into inland Louisiana waters. Houses, marinas, restaurants and businesses line the lake, as does much of New Orleans.
Local officials, including the mayor of New Orleans, had already taken measures like setting up barges to block the passes. Kevin Davis, the president of St. Tammany Parish, which lies along much of the north shore of the lake, has compared the wait for the oil to the “Jaws” music signaling a coming attack.
Strong easterly winds, which are expected to continue, most likely pushed the tar balls in from the Mississippi Sound, bypassing the barges, said Anne Rheams, the executive director of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation.
Once the small, heavily weathered tar balls came, crews went to work, gathering roughly 1,700 pounds of oily waste. But the fear has not dissipated.
“When you look at the trajectories and you look at the wind patterns, we know that more of it will be moving in,” Ms. Rheams said.
In Texas, the discovery of tar balls on beaches around Galveston was the first reports of oil on the state’s coast since the spill began. And with confirmation that the tar balls were from the BP spill, Texas joined every other Gulf Coast state in facing the spill’s impact.
But at a news conference on Tuesday, Jerry Patterson, the Texas land commissioner, said the tar balls were only slightly weathered, suggesting that the oil had not drifted so far on its own.
It is possible that the oil had leaked from a ship involved in the cleanup, he said, as some of the oil-water mix collected during the response operation is being taken to a processing company near Galveston. The Coast Guard is still conducting tests.
For now, many people who live and work along the Texas coast say they are not in a panic, adding that tar balls wash up all the time. But that does not mean they think this will be the end of it.
“I figure they’ve got their head buried in the sand if they don’t think we’re going to get it over here,” said Carol Dickerson, who works at Blue Water Bait Camp in Crystal Beach, Tex. “There’s just too much oil, and I know that we’re going to get it eventually.”
The worries in New Orleans are more immediate.
Since the spill began, the city has been in a difficult situation. It has become the headquarters for the area command and is frequently the backdrop for news reports.
But the city has constantly had to give geography refreshers to hesitant tourists, reminding them that New Orleans has no beachfront and is a two-hour drive from the state’s southern coast, where most of the oil has washed up.
Those messages are now more complicated.
“The situation changes a little bit now that tar balls have hit the lake,” said Kelly Schulz, a vice president of the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We’re working on that as we speak.”
The counterclockwise currents in Lake Pontchartrain suggest that if oil did enter in heavier concentrations, it would travel along the lake’s northern coast, which is heavily populated in some areas, before coming back around to New Orleans, Ms. Rheams said.
Most of the lake, which is becoming a last refuge for the area’s hurting fishermen, remains open to fishing.
But Greg Henry, who runs a charter boat company in New Orleans, said he was forced to put an end to his fishing trips in nearby Lake Borgne. He said he was going to have to stick to party cruises, at least as long as the water stayed clean.
“I just don’t want to start doing tours of oil,” Mr. Henry said. “That’s not something I want to show people.”

This means that easterly winds and hurricane activity are pushing "tar balls" into wetlands and estuaries inevitably. Lake Ponchartrain is the big lake that the state wraps around and if these tar balls get pushed into that water body, they will end up right on the city’s shore. Its a tragic thing for the New Orleans fishing community because its big part of their economy. These tar balls are condensed oil that wrap around some kind of sea debris, typically sea weed or clumps of sand. Basically, New Orleans is screwed and I guess you can say that God hates Dixie Land Jazz.

Detained at the MTCC Prior To G20 Summit – Metro Toronto Convention Centre South Building
July 7th, 2010
Security for the Metro Toronto Convention Centre detain Shaun and Dave as they shoot footage prior to the G20 Summit.
This video demonstrates that by standing firm, nobody can give themselves the right to view or delete your film. Trespassers must leave private property upon first notice, and they may only be arrested if they refuse to do so.
These security guards initially said we were being detained and were to accompany them to the security office. We politely declined, but kept filming to see if they would insist on deleting our footage. Eventually another security guard arrives, advises the office to film us on security camera, and claims we were never being detained in the first place.
