| Riot breaks out in Montreal after teen shot dead | | 2008-08-11 13:12:00 | | Montreal's mayor is promising to push for a speedy and public investigation into a riot that broke out following a fatal police shooting.
Gerald Tremblay says the only way to return order to the city's troubled north-end neighbourhood is by being transparent about what prompted police to open fire on a group of youngsters on Saturday.

| Baldwin Reads The Tribe The Riot Act | | 2008-05-27 17:12:00 | | Here's a funny YouTube clip, courtesy of Tiricosuave.com. You could call it "Glengarry Glen Ross" meets "Major League." The Indians have had their problems with their closers this year, so this clip was made from the two films. It takes the "Coffee is for closers" scene with Alec (I'm Moving to France if George Bush Gets Elected President But I Was Only Kidding as I'm Just Another Airheaded Celebrity Who Thinks the Public Cares About My Political Opinion and I Still Want to Assault Henry Hyde) Baldwin reading the Riot Act to the salesmen, and substituted it with the Indians players from "Major League." (You may notice in some of the "Major League" clips, they are actually backwards, and you can tell by the Indians uniforms.)Great stuff, but be careful, as there's lots of colorful language in this clip, which lasts over two minutes.Hey, maybe the Mets can bring in the Baldwin character to get the underachieving Amazin's going.It was just a thought.Enjoy. | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |

| Red Army Real Estate Riot | | 2008-04-04 16:39:00 | | April 4, 2008: The Russian armed forces is finally coming to grips with the fact that it will never return to the glory days of the Soviet Union (which dissolved in 1991). The military was called "the Red Army" back then. A sign of these changes is a huge property sale now underway. The military is auctioning off some very valuable property. The armed forces had acquired, during the Cold War, some 135,000 square kilometers of land (including 7,640 bases and 175,000 buildings). A lot of it is now prime real estate, much in demand in a booming economy. It's estimated that all this real estate is worth at least $12 billion. So much of it is being sold off to raise money for construction of housing for the million military personnel still in service.

| Prison Chocolate Ban No Laugh Riot | | 2007-12-24 01:07:15 | | We were initially delighted when the phrase "Swedish prison" came across the news wires, given the vast storehouse of research material at our disposal— shop keeps who archive a Smithsonian-like collection of similarly themed films, as well as a steady inventory of single cigarettes so we could get a sense of what prison life is all about without all those communal shower come ons. Unfortunately, without a working knowledge of the Nordic language, and the Ikea warehouse not returning our harassing phone calls (not to mention being indisposed to Googling the phrase “Swedish prison” for fear of incurring some librarian's bifocaled stink-eye) we were unable to figure out exactly what kind of penal institution ‘Brinkebergsanstalten’ is, the mouthful of a prison at the center of the following story. So, with no English language reports specifying the gender of those incarcerated, we decided to eschew modern crime statistics and 200 years' worth of temple-probing criminology and assume it’s a massive minimum security facility for women with daily sheer tube top workouts for the prison volleyball team and unscheduled conjugal visitations for inquisitive bloggers. According to reports, Swedish inmates have been banned from putting their kitchen detail/extortion savings (that would otherwise be put toward shanking the least popular guard), toward the purchase of holiday boxed chocolates amid concerns over alcohol content. This measure resulted in the warden-undermining spokesperson for Kraft Foods, the provider of the crowbar motel confectionery to note, “In order to consume the equivalent of one shot of schnapps, you have to eat some 32 pieces of confectionery. Gosh, what effort." No less effort than what cell block 2D's finest distiller of Ziploc hooch has to expend, who could certainly make good use of such a sweetener to take the toxic edge off the soggy bread and rotten fruit whiff of ‘Orange Jack.’ In related news, a California school district su | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

| No One Would Riot For Less | | 2007-03-12 02:43:00 | | Saddle Creek have put up a track off Bright Eyes' forthcoming and muchly anticipated album Cassadaga. Its called No One Would Riot For Less and is pretty much your standard Oberst affair. It's distant and despondent while still feeling personal and true. I don't want to say too much about it for two reasons, firstly because its 2 in the morning, i'm knackered and i need to get up early tomorrow but secondly because i think the music says enough for itself. Enjoy.Bright Eyes - No One Would Riot For LessCassadega is out on April 9. I can't wait!!!! | | By: funfunfun | | |

| A Riot of Swans at Martin Mere, Lancashire | | 2006-10-30 14:21:00 | | The tides were not suitable for sea fishing at any of our favorite marks last weekend so after a lazy Saturday we woke on Sunday to glorious sunshine. After having a quick look at the days weather forecast we decided to brave the crowds and go and give the Wildfowl & Wetland Trust reserve of Martin Mere a visit.This is where last months BBC programme, Autumn Watch was broadcast from and as it's only a short journey from our front door after packing a flask, some snacks, binoculars, new camera and a good bird book we set off and arrived at about 11am.Even though it is only a few miles away we've only been here a couple of times and pulling into the car park we remembered why, it was packed! We quickly entered and made our way as far from the crowds as possible.Martin Mere consists of 2 main areas; the ornamental wildfowl section which is all fenced off and contains many different birds from around the world and the 'meres' which is where the main action is.Every year tens of thousands of wildfowl use this area as their wintering grounds and the reserve is well know for the huge numbers of Pink-footed Geese and Whooper Swans that can be seen from the hides.Even though we are still in Autumn the numbers of wildfowl is still impressive and as the colder months approach these number will steadily increase.On our walk from hide to hide we managed to see all the usual suspects that are listed on the Martin Mere website but the most spectacular thing about this reserve is the sheer quantity of birds.They were everywhere. From the smallest wading birds such as Ruff, tiny Teal and Widgeon, massive flocks of Lapwing through to the hundred plus Whooper Swans and the thousands of Pink-footed geese. It's impossible not to be moved by such sights.We managed to coincide one of our hide visits to a feeding session where grain is put out for visiting Whooper Swans.It was hard to believe that these were completely wild birds that only a few days ago were in Iceland.
