Rachelle Flynn Contributing writer Local gas stations expect the theft of gasoline to increase with the return of students. “It goes through its spurts,” said Darcy Wilson, manager of Stinker Station No. 38 in Moscow. “With gas prices being as high as they are, you really have to pay attention.” Wilson said in the past week they have had two drive-offs, one with diesel and one with gas fuel. She worries about diesel, at almost $3 a gallon, being stolen more than anything. “One got caught and came back and paid,” she said. “They’ll say, ‘Oh, I thought I put my card in.’ The funny thing is, there’s no JOHN BAZEMORE/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS card reader in the diesel.” Garron Lenaz recovers an American flag from the rubble in front of his home in Gulfport, Miss., after Hurricane Katrina To catch the drive-offs, struck the Gulf Coast Monday. gas stations will track a thief’s license plate number by writing it down or with cameras.

    Caregiving and the Case for Testamentary Freedom

    Caregiving and the Case for Testamentary Freedom Joshua C. Tate* Almost all U.S. states allow individuals to disinherit their descendants for any reason or no reason, but most of the world’s legal systems currently do not. This Article contends that broad freedom of testation under state law is defensible because it allows elderly people to reward family members who are caregivers. The Article explores the common-law origins of freedom of testation, which developed in the shadow of the medieval rule of primogeniture, a doctrine of no contemporary relevance. The growing problem of eldercare, however, offers a justification for the twenty-first century. Increases in life expectancy have led to a sharp rise in the number of older individuals who require long-term care, and some children and grandchildren are bearing more of the caregiving burden * Assistant Professor of Law, Southern Methodist University.

Graced by local Peranakan personalities and celebrities who have grown up around Katong, the Opening Gala marked a new milestone in the history of Katong – an area of Singapore associated with Peranakan culture and gastronomical delights. Amongst the Peranakan personalities who were in attendance were the likes of iconic Peranakan stage performer, Mr GT Lye; Artistic Director of The Necessary Stage, Mr Alvin Tan; and popular actress and thespian, Ms Tan Kheng Hua, who was accompanied by her daughter. Said Ms Tan, “The opening of GV Katong couldn’t have come at a better time! We have been waiting for a cinema in this part of Singapore for the longest time and it’s great to finally have a cinema so close to home, right in the middle of our favourite hangout. The Peranakan designs are also truly amazing; we never thought a cinema could look this way!” Adding to the star-studded night were popular radio personalities Rod Monteiro and The Married Men crew from 91.3FM; as well as Glenn Ong from The Morning Express on Class 95FM who spent their teen years in the area during their time in Saint Patrick’s School, just a stone’s throw away.

The new partnership will see at least 10 Malay-language films screened annually in Singapore, starting this month.

Golden Village proudly celebrates this collaboration by screening the first 3D Malay film in Singapore, 29 FEBRUARI. Opening this Thursday, 6 September, the film tells the story of a man born on the leap day of 29 February and only ages once every four years.

Available in both 2D and 3D format, movie-goers will be able to enjoy this title at three GV cinemas; GV VivoCity, GV Tampines and GV Yishun.

  • Jude the Obscure Official Biography

    Jude the Obscure Official Biography

    Jude the Obscure Official Biography Jude the Obscure, circa 2003 Jude the Obscure had a very comfortable place in the Ontario math-core/noisecore scene throughout its existence. I believe they were the first to be called “chaoticore”. Prior to the forming of this band, Grant Freifeld (“Fuzz” on bass), Jason Rice (“Jaundice” on drums) and Chuck Leach (“the Bank”/”Bankenstein” on guitar) played together in a slew of Grimsby, Ontario high school bands, often changing name every few months. When in 1998 they decided to go “heavier”, they asked a guy in their high school who was wearing a Snapcase shirt if he wanted to to be their signer; that was James Long (“Jimbo”). With Jimbo in, Jude the Obscure was born. The final addition was one of Jason’s coworker, Jordan Passfield who was brought in as an experimental guitar player. “A New Life of Painful Sin” demo, 1999 “A New Life of Painful Sin” demo, 1999 Their first show was a house show with Rise Over Run. In 1999 they recorded 3 songs at Scott Bialik’s small basement studio, soundDOME Studio, in Hamilton, live right off the floor. Jude self-released it as their first demo “A New Life of Painful Sin”. Everyone who ever talks about this demo doesn’t speak of it nicely. Nevertheless it is a good representation of what early 2000 metalcore was like. Poster advertising “A Perfect Place” on Punx Without Mohawx Records Their high school friends, Rise Over Run, had gotten signed to the Quebec label Punx Without Mohawx Records, so Jude sent them their demo as well.
