Seconds of Delay

Most of important events here in North America is broadcasted live on TV channels and sometimes on radio. That's why cable TV is common here. I don't have cable. Therefore the only channels I access to are CBC, CTV, A-Channel (Which covers Calgary and area) and sometimes Global. CBC is very good esp. its evening news, The National, which is broadcasted every night except Sat. and Sun., Hockey night in Canada and many many other programs.Most of these are live. This week 2 events happened which made broadcasters put a 5 and 7 seconds of delay on their live airings. Janet Jackson exposed her right tit in Super Bowl half-time show last Sun. Also Don Cherry said sth. in a Hockey night in Canada program which made CBC to put a 7 seconds delay on his program since after. What he said is kind of offensive to French and European players of NHL. Cherry usually talks like that and is often aggressive.

Your Turn

CBC has an interesting program tonight. Some people have been chosen from across the country to ask a question from the Prime Minister. There was an Iranian physician from Vancouver who asked: Why we (internationally educated physicians) are not allowed to practice even when we pass Canadian evaluation exams?

Poor People Are Similar in Life Everywhere

A Canadian soldier was killed in Afghanistan last week in a suicide attack. Cpl. Jamie Murphy who was from a small fishing village of N. L.
As you see the sad story of poor people is similar. No mater where you are from. Canada, Iran, Japan, Europe, etc. N. L. is a province in the east with a high rate of unemployment. Most of the people who don’t have a job go to other provinces to seek for a work. Alberta is the second home of many Newfoundlanders. Most of them are roughnecks in oil and gas industry in Northern Alberta in cities and towns like Edmonton and Fort McMurray. Andrew, My friend, whom hasn’t been seen for months, is originally from there. He was born in N. L. but most of his family members live in Edmonton now, including his Mom and Dad as far as I know. Canadian Armed Forces is a choice for unemployed, non-educated Newfoundlanders. Therefore what happens is they join the army and are sent to dangerous parts of the world like Bosnia-Herzegovina and Afghanistan.
Today there’s a new story: The suicide attacker is the brother of Khadr who was in American’s Guantanamo Bay camp as an Al-Qaeda suspect and I wrote his story here months ago. This is what AFP announced today and Canadian officials are working on this with Afghan police and AFP.

Supplement

I was goin' to summarize It doesn't take the hero here and write interesting parts as a supplement to the blog but found there won't be enough time. Then I changed my mind and I think I can write some. Here's what I chose for today:

First of all Schwarzkopf is a German name and indicates that he's originally from there, of course. Secondly, I didn't know that the book is not just about Desert Shield and Desert Storm operations, which led to freedom of state of Kuwait. It's an autobiography. The book basically begins with the beginning of the Second World War, when his father goes to Iran to manage a process of supplying Soviets against Germans. The title of book comes from what he said in a TV interview:

It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.

Bad Luck

Last Hockey Night in Canada was a bad one for Edmonton Oilers. They lost to LA Kings while they were winners until 01:10 min. to the end. Look at the scoreboard:

1st Period
Los Angeles 19:53, Brad Chartrand 2 (Eric Belanger, Jon Sim)

2nd Period
Los Angeles 2:34, Trent Klatt 13 (Esa Pirnes)
Edmonton 17:34, Brad Isbister 8 (power play) (Cory Cross)

3rd Period
Edmonton 3:19, Georges Laraque 1 (Mike Bishai)
Edmonton 4:56, Fernando Pisani 6 (Shawn Horcoff, Cory Cross)
Los Angeles 18:50, Joe Corvo 6 (Jaroslav Modry, Trent Klatt)
Los Angeles 19:54, Jason Holland 3 (Jozef Stumpel, Luc Robitaille)

That was an unbelievable game.

Relief

After one week of freezing cold, it was sunny and very beautiful yesterday and also today, showing almost -14 ºC, which is warm(!) in Calgary. People ran to parks and trails for hiking, running and walking with their dogs but I didn't see any cyclist. I wish I could go but was too busy although didn't study enough. This part of f**king CQE Primer which I'm studying now is DOE and is explained as bad as possible, like many other parts of this damn reference. So what I did today was I started reviewing Thechnicomp DOE application guide which was taught in SAIT (Silly Attractive Institute of Trickery) but that's another piece of shit. It's nothing. Even the video which we watched in the class was not good. I have to resort to Juran's Quality Handbook and finish it until I get another reference, If necessary.
