Rabbit by Run Wrake


A dreamlike but dark story of lost innocence and the random justice of nature, told with curious images from a distant childhood. When an idol is found in the stomach of a rabbit, great riches follow, but for how long? (QuickTime video)

Near-naked sushi servers a little too raw

TORONTO- A downtown Asian restaurant's female executive chef worries the owner's decision to serve sushi atop almost-naked models to spice up its menu for film fest crowds will damage its reputation.

Clothed only in bikini swimwear and banana leaves, a male and female model will lie on the bar like a sexy garnish and have patrons eat sushi off their bodies for a couple of hours several nights during the Toronto International Film Festival.

Welcome to LostLabor.com


LOST LABOR: Images of Vanished American Workers 1900-1980 is a selection of 155 photographs excerpted from a collection of more than 1100 company histories, pamphlets, and technical brochures documenting America's business and corporate industrial history This collection has been assembled over the last 20 years and many of the titles are rare and difficult to find. Since the images document factories, machinery, and jobs that no longer exist, LOST LABOR provides an unusual visual and historical record of work in 20th century America. The term 'lost labor' can derive from the effects of mechanization, computer automation, technological advances, or through the consequences of corporate takeovers, downsizing and globalization. In many cases, these meanings can and do overlap.

The man, the myth, the monster, the politician


I was talking with my buddy, young Doc Savage (congrats on the PhD, my friend) , and he told me that this guy Garry Robbins.com is running for mayor of St. Catharines. Wow, it's almost worth moving there just to be able to vote for him (just kidding).

The mother of all strikes

I feel her pain but I don't see what she hopes to gain by this. She's outside in a tent, therefore not nagging the ungrateful louts, and still buys the groceries - they're probably lovin' it. Many kids are like gorillas, not averse to fouling their own nests and revelling in the funkiness. Some outgrow it, others don't. In my view this woman could benefit from some child management training with an emphasis on laying down clear expectations and following through with consequences.
'I talked to them, I yelled at them, I cried, but ultimately I walked out,' said Roxanne Toussaint, a single mother of three protesting her kids' lax attitude toward chores.
It is especially ironic for a mother who works part-time with a cleaning service.
They eat all of the food, refuse to help around the house and their bedrooms are a mess, she added.
So on Wednesday evening, Toussaint, 36, pitched a tent outside her home, along with a spray-painted sign in front that reads, 'Mom On Strike.'
'Everybody's got a breaking point,' she said. 'And it can be pretty hard handling teens on your own.'
Only a day into her protest and Toussaint's children , 14-year-old Adrian, 10-year-old Charmaine and Kali, 8 , are already feeling the embarrassment their mother has decided to heap on them.
'I don't know any kids who are not embarrassed by their parents,' she said.

Wake up, Canada

Christopher Hume makes sense but does anyone want to listen?

Coming back to Canada after a couple of weeks in Sweden is like returning to the dark ages.
This country, this province, this city have fallen so far behind the civilized world that it's no longer simply embarrassing, it's alarming.
From waste disposal to public transit, foreign aid to municipal governance, Canada has been left behind.
