Was just curious if anyone has seen this yet, and if it actually worth checking out... I'm wondering if the film leans towards one side or the other, or actually shows a balanced view of what actually happened.

Anyways, the film is about the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle, which I guess they turned into a movie now. Either way, this is not the type of movie that comes out every day, so I think I'll be checking this one out.]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 15:19:02 -0500

Saw this short the other night at the next gen film fest and saw that Threadless was in the credits. I never really post on here anymore, so I might have missed something, but I was just curious what their involvement was in this. ]]> Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:14:04 -0500

The strike began at 5 a.m. Monday, with many employees hitting a picket line in front of UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento's Oak Park.

The protest is impacting all 10 UC campuses and five medical centers statewide and is expected to last five days, four days longer than a similar strike more than three years ago.

About 8,500 employees statewide are expected to take part, with 460 workers walking off the job in Sacramento.

The striking workers include custodians, hospital workers, food preparers, groundskeepers, security guards, medical technicians and some nurses.

"Public safety is my No. 1 priority and this strike could affect the health and well being of many people who rely on the critical services provided by medical support staff,” Schwarzenegger said in a prepared statment. "While there may be legitimate issues to be resolved, it is unacceptable to use the welfare of innocent people as a bargaining chip."

The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Local 3299, which represents the workers, said wages are a primary concern, adding that 96 percent of workers currently qualify for welfare benefits.

The university, however, argues that it cannot pay more given the current state budget crunch and tough economic times.

Workers said it was not an easy decision to walk out.

"Most of us make poverty wages," said Diamond Robertson, one of the workers on strike. "A lot of us qualify for welfare and we work full-time jobs. It's unfair."

Judie Boehmer, spokeswoman for the medical center, said the strike is illegal and participating workers will likely face discipline.

The university said it has a contingency plan in place that calls for managers to step in to do the jobs of striking employees.

In April of 2005, about 7,000 services workers hit the picket lines. At that time, whcy said they pay was less than workers at similar facilities.

I know that I'm in support of the workers and think they deserve better wages than $10 an hour, which is certainly not a living wage. How do you feel on the matter?]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:17:50 -0500

I first got Snowden three years ago on this day, and man have the years flown by!

I got her when she was just a pup, but she grew up pretty fast. Haha, she used to bark at everything when she was a puppy and would play bite all of the time. She doesn't bark quite as much anymore, but she never got over the biting habit...

She never really was into playing fetch either. I will throw something, and she will whimper until I go and get it and then bring it to her! She will whimper in the same way whenever she wants to eat too! She cries and won't stop until I actually put the bowl down in front of her. Hilarious and cute!

Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know how awesome my dog Snowden is. ]]>
