Bus, streetcar wait about to get longer Budget cuts squeeze service on 62 transit routes King, Queen streetcars also affected Busy bus routes include the 25 Don Mills, 29 Dufferin, 35 Jane and Airport Rocket Two long, snaking lines form on the platform at Finch Station waiting for bus 36 westbound. It’s 4:30 p.m., rush hour, and in the end about a dozen people are left behind, with no room to pick up anyone at the first few stops. “Another bus is right behind me,” the driver assures those waiting at the first stop west of Yonge. Starting Jan. 8, that driver may not be able to make that promise,
as Mayor Rob Ford’s budget cuts take a toll on 62 transit routes across the city. The “major service cuts” to 56 bus and six streetcar routes, revealed in a memo leaked Thursday by the Toronto Environmental Alliance, touch every corner of the city. Wait times will increase from as little as 15 seconds to as much as six minutes and 20 seconds, with many in the two-minute range.

Extra-long wait times The longest additions to wait times after the changes will be: Six minutes, 20 seconds for Warden South during rush hour Five minutes on both the 30 Lambton and 47 Lansdowne (north of St. Clair) buses during morning rush hour

TTC is also increasing wait times on the 36 Finch West bus, which was going to be replaced by a provincially funded light rail line under the Transit City plan that Ford killed after taking office. Nancy Jules takes a multi-bus commute to a cleaning job, and she already often waits 30 minutes for the 36 Finch. “I don’t know what I’ll do because it’s my only transportation.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
Occupiers descend on Toronto for mass rally A fleet of buses brought protesters from across the province to Toronto for the rally. Occupy signs and union flags in hand, protesters gathered outside city hall and marched through the financial district to the Toronto Stock Exchange, chanting, “We are the 99 per cent!” The rally comes a day after police and bylaw officers cleared St. James Park, the epicentre of Toronto’s movement since it began Oct. 15.

It was one wonderful way to be woken up. Clutching a winning lottery ticket worth $50 million, Linda Ingram rushed into the bedroom of her apartment in Oshawa to wake her husband of 36 years. “Don, wake up, wake up. Get up. Get up. We just won $50 million,” Linda yelled. “Shut up and prove it to me,” a groggy Don Ingram retorted. The couple picked up their winnings at lottery headquarters in Toronto on Thursday, their heads still spinning. Words like shocked, overwhelmed and overjoyed tumbled from their mouths. “I can’t sleep because I’m so excited,” said Linda, 59. “I’m just so overwhelmed.” Their first goal, they said, will be to retire from the cooking jobs they have had at a local restaurant — but not quite yet. “I told my boss I’d probably work for another week or two,” said Don, 53.

Future not a flat worldwide web
Nice. Moustaches
Seneca College develops revolutionary computer code Will make surfing look more like a video game SCREENSHOT
The Mo Bros (and Sistas) of Metro proudly sport their moustaches for Movember. TAKARA SMALL/FOR METRO
Metro keeping hairy upper lips Team “Mo Mo Metro” has raised $2,265 to date, all in support of Prostate Cancer Canada. They are, from left, Levon Stevenson, Fernando Carneiro, Richard Gawlas, David Van Dyke, Christianne Cruz, Allison Gilles, and Mohan Sivalingam.
The program Students from any of the 24 colleges represented by Colleges Ontario who go to Ireland would see their tuition fees reduced by more than 15 per cent. The first Ontario students eligible to complete their studies in Ireland could be headed overseas as early as September 2012. Gerry Murray, CEO of Institutes of Technology Ireland, says it will start with the hospitality, business and electronics engineering programs.
Irish colleges open to Ontario students Some Ontario college students could soon be getting a little Irish in their education. Colleges Ontario and Institutes of Technology Ireland have reached an agreement to allow Ontario students to complete degree programs in Ireland. In return, Irish students will be able to obtain graduate certificates from Ontario colleges. The agreement, to be
signed Monday, would allow graduates of two-year college programs in Ontario to secure a degree with two further years of study in Ireland. In some cases, graduates of three-year programs will be able to secure a degree with one further year of study. Officials are calling the agreement precedent-setting in Canada and Ireland.

Today’s World Wide Web is Flat Stanley, while its soonto-arrive successor is more like Avatar in Imax 3-D. Thanks to pioneering work being done in Toronto, your daily online experiences are on the verge of becoming a lot deeper and more interactive. The new web is not a flat surface to surf over, but an immersive place, like a game, where people will navigate through a rich mix of video, photos, text and live data. “This is like 1947 with television,” National Film Board producer Gerry Flahive says of the pivotal change. Three weeks ago, the NFB released a taste of the riches to come, in the world’s first immersive documentary, One Millionth Tower. Set in three-dimensional space on a computer screen, the doc allows each viewer to stop and explore a variety of different events happening around the proposed rejuvenation of a troubled suburban-Toronto high-rise project. “It’s a new box, new playground and a new language,” says Flahive. The open programming code behind the documen-

tary is the same one that is about to change the web as we know it. The fifth generation of hypertext markup language (HTML5) allows software developers to embed video and live data (from the Weather Network, to Facebook and Twitter) without resorting to expensive and time-consuming plugins. “This is the montage moment,” says Mark Surman, Toronto-based executive director of the Mozilla Foundation, of Firefox web browser fame. “People have been talking about interactive video for 20 years, and this gives them the tools.” Ground Zero is the York University campus branch of Toronto’s Seneca College,
which enjoys a close relationship with Mozilla. “Our program is about pragmatic and applied computing,” says David Humphrey, who teaches at Seneca’s Centre for Development of Open Technology. “We ship a lot of code from here.” The Mozilla-sponsored projects that made the NFB documentary possible are WebGL, a graphics library geared to video, and Popcorn, a toolkit to enrich the online storytelling experience. “The students worked alongside professional engineers, but they did 70 per cent of the work,” says Surman of Seneca’s contribution to Popcorn.

Turns out T.O.’s a nice city in love with Bieber PETER KRAMER/NBC/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When it comes to tweeting, Torontonians are a happy lot. The tbk Creative group, a web design and social media agency, analyzed tweets that had the word Toronto or the hashtag Toronto to see what people were saying over a 30-day period from Oct. 7 to Nov. 5. And the findings surprised Andrew Schiestel, a senior partner at the London, Ont., firm. “Overall, Toronto is a very positive city. A lot of people might not believe that’s the case,” he said.
“Toronto can get a bad rap for not being a loving city, but you can check that off.” The top adjective used was “good.” It came up six times more often than “bad.” “Happy” was mentioned seven times more often than “sad.” “Win” was cited 11 times more often than “lose.” The Leafs were mentioned five times more often than the Jays, though that’s probably because it’s winter. Other findings were not a huge surprise. The top charity mentioned was

Movember and the top social cause Occupy. Tweets linked to Toronto also included more competitive words like “win,” “fail,” worst,” “succeed,” and “best.” “It may be in part to do with sports,” Schiestel said. “I find a little more infatuation with pop culture in Toronto,” unlike his hometown which found local politicians at the top of the list of Twitter handles mentioned. Twitter handles with the word Toronto in them all involve pop culture and
celebrities. Singer Justin Bieber was first, followed by musician Deadmau5, who assembles tracks on the fly at shows, performing in May at Rogers Centre. After that was Toronto Buyout, which is a Justin Bieber fan club, where fans are urged to go to stores, buy out his CDs and donate them to charity. Coming in fourth was reality star Vinny Guadagnino of Jersey Shore fame, followed by the American rapper Joe Budden. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Lawyer seeks policy to discipline police who lie in court
WEEKEND, NOVEMBER 25-27, 2011
Ukrainian. Heritage
Officers who have given a dishonest testimony fall into ‘a black hole,’ says lawyer Clayton Ruby DARREN CALABRESE/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Prominent defence lawyer Clayton Ruby has called on the Toronto Police Services Board to develop a policy which tracks and disciplines officers who lie in court. Following his deputation on Thursday, the board agreed to have chairman Alok Mukherjee and police Chief Bill Blair discuss the issue and report back to the board. Blair rejected that contention, saying he takes full responsibility for his officers’ conduct.
Ruby
“We are very mindful ... that any allegation must be investigated,” he said. “These matters are investigated and are reported annually in a professional standards report. Mr. Ruby is not aware of that over-
sight. The suggestion that this is not taken seriously is inaccurate.” Ruby said any officer found to have misled the court is “a shame and a disgrace.” “I can’t find anybody who has been disciplined for lying to a court,” he told the board. Asked about this after the meeting, Blair would not confirm if an officer has ever been disciplined for lying as a witness. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Bringing Toronto’s entrepreneurs together CONTRIBUTED
SociaLIGHT, a new conference aimed at entrepreneurs, is launching this year. On Nov. 26, more than 1,000 entrepreneurs and leaders will gather at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre to engage with internationally acclaimed speakers and each other.
“We identified an opportunity to bring together an entrepreneur community in Toronto that was largely fragmented and working in silos,” says Dan Jacob, co-producer of the conference. SociaLIGHT aims to redefine what it means to be a socialite by encouraging
a new generation of leaders and entrepreneurs who put value on the positive social impact a person has rather than monetary possessions and financial status. LIGHT is an acronym that stands for Leader Impacting Global Humanity Today. METRO

Nannies denied, work, wait longer
It’s a. Plane
Immigration announced plan to reduce permanent status granted to caregivers to 9,000 from 16,000 NICHOLAS KEUNG/TORSTAR
For decades, the country’s caregiver program has brought in au pairs and nannies from abroad to care for tens of thousands of Canadian children and the elderly. The program has also provided an opportunity for caregivers, mostly women, to permanently settle in Canada with their families once they fulfill their nanny requirements. But declining admissions for new nannies and longer waits for permanent resident status for those already here is fuelling speculation the program may be in jeopardy. The number of caregivers accepted into Canada declined last year to 8,400, after peaking at 13,800 in
2007. And the acceptance rate last year fell to 57 per cent comRuby pared to 73 per Primero cent five years ago, according to the Association of Caregiver and Nanny Agencies Canada. It now takes 18 months to bring a caregiver to Canada — up from 12 months in 2008, said association president Manuela Gruber Hersch. “The government is slowly killing the program, making it unreasonably financially risky for families to use the program,” she said. As families wait longer
for new nannies to arrive, caregivers already working here complain they are made to work longer. Caregivers must work as a live-in nanny for a minimum of two years before applying for permanent residency. While waiting for their new status, they receive an open permit entitling them to work in other fields. However, they complain they now wait 18 months — compared to six to eight months a year ago — to get the permit. “I have two jobs waiting for me as soon as I get my licence. But right now, all I can do is continue to work as a nanny,” said Ruby Primero, 40, who filed her residency application over a year ago. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICES

Alleged honour killing victim confided in authorities, court hears HANDOUT PHOTO
A court in eastern Ontario is hearing that a 13-year-old girl allegedly killed by her Montreal family became “furious” when a teacher said it wasn’t a good idea to run away from home with her 17-year-old sister. Court has heard that Geeti Shafia repeatedly asked teachers and child protection authorities to remove her from her home, where she and her sisters complained of verbal, emotional and physical abuse. Geeti and her sisters 17year-old Sahar and 19-year-
old Zainab, as well as their father’s first wife in a polygamous marriage were found dead on June 30, 2009 in a car submerged at in a canal in Kingston, Ont. The girls’ parents and their now 20-year-old brother are on trial for four counts of first-degree murder, as the Crown alleges they killed the four over family honour. One of Sahar and Geeti’s teachers testified yesterday that Sahar came to her and asked, if she moved out of the house and into an apart-

ment, would she be able to take Geeti with her.
Fathia Boualia testified Thursday that after Geeti

found out what she had told Sahar, the 13-year-old verbally lashed out at the teacher and became “very angry.” Court heard Wednesday that a 16-year-old Sahar confided in school and child protection authorities that she was being pressured to wear a hijab, that she had been “emotionally rejected” by her parents, and that she tried to kill herself by taking pills in May 2008. “I had enough,” she said Sahar told her. “I wanted to die.”
Fortin said she got no assistance from her family, and her mother said something to the effect of, if she wants to die, let her. Fortin called youth protection services and they scheduled a meeting with the parents. When youth protection worker Jeanne Rowe arrived, Sahar pleaded with her not to call her parents, but Rowe explained it is mandatory. “She was very, very scared of her parents knowing about the report ... She just denied everything.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Iran lawmaker says 12 CIA agents arrested THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE
Security forces inspect the scene of a bomb attack in Basra, 550 kilometres southeast of Baghdad, Iraq, Thursday.
Blasts paint grim future for Iraq Security forces responding to first two explosions hit by third that caused all fatalities and most injuries A string of bombings in a southern oil city killed 19 people Thursday evening and injured dozens more, a bleak sign of the security challenges Iraq will face after American troops go home. The U.S. military is drawing down its troops ahead of an end-of-December deadline to have all American forces out of the country. Incidents like Thursday’s triple bombing in a city seen as key to Iraq's economic development shows the dangerous prospects awaiting Iraqis next year. Three bombs went off in a popular open-air market

Number of minutes between the first and second explosion. in Basra, police and health officials said. The third bomb exploded a few minutes after Iraqi army and police forces arrived on the scene in response to the earlier blasts, officials said. The third blast caused all the fatalities and almost all of the injuries, the officials said. Among the dead and wounded were many policemen and Iraqi army soldiers.
Kamal Ali was working at a clothing shop across the street when the blasts went off. He said after the first explosion, bystanders rushed to help the victims. When another blast went off about five minutes later, the terrified people ran to escape. Then police and soldiers rushed to the scene before the third and most deadly bomb went off. “Most of the casualties are police and Iraqi troops who rushed to help the victims and cordoned off the scene. They sacrificed their lives for the poor people,” Ali said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Iran has arrested 12 agents of the American Central Intelligence Agency, the country’s official IRNA news agency reported, quoting an influential lawmaker. Parviz Sorouri, a member of the powerful parliamentary committee on foreign policy and national security, said the alleged agents were operating in co-ordination with Israel’s Mossad and other regional agencies, targeting the country’s military and its nuclear program. “The U.S. and Zionist regime’s espionage apparatuses were trying to damage Iran both from inside and outside with a heavy blow, using regional intelligence services,” Sorouri was quoted as saying Wednesday. “Fortunately, with swift reaction by the Iranian in-

Hezbollah’s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, boasted in June on television he had unmasked at least two CIA spies who had infiltrated the ranks of the organization. Though the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon denied that, American officials conceded that Nasrallah was not lying and that Hezbollah had subsequently methodically picked off CIA informants.

Shocking ad creates stir Public-health poster campaign puts baby in bed with a butcher knife Co-sleeping advocates say the initiative goes way too far The poster images are meant to shock: A diapered, cherubic baby sleeping on his stomach in an adult bed, a butcher knife next to him. In another, a rosyskinned infant lightly fingers the handle of a cleaver. “Your baby sleeping with you can be just as dangerous,” reads the doom-saying tagline. The posters were unveiled in early November by Milwaukee’s health department as part of a campaign to lower the city’s infant mortality rate — currently 10.4 deaths for every 1,000 live births — by 2017. The campaign tackles bed-sharing, a nurturing practice in which babies share a bed with their parents, suggesting that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) can occur if an infant
Canada’s take Sleeping children: In the other camp is the Canadian Paediatric Society, which, in line with the Public Health Agency of Canada, advises parents to keep their sleeping children in a crib until they’re at least six months old.
Healthy Families: Toronto Public Health takes the same position, said Denise Oliver, associate director of the city’s Healthy Families program. Comment: “The safest place for (babies) to sleep is on their backs, in a crib or cradle,” she said. Toronto Public Health or the Canadi-
becomes trapped underneath an adult, between the mattress and a wall or smothered in sheets or pillows. A common cause of death stemming from bedsharing is asphyxia, or oxygen deficiency, according to Toronto Public Health. But parents and breastfeeding advocates say the sensationalized ad campaign overstates the risks
considerably. And the ads have stirred controversy among some pediatricians who claim bed-sharing promotes parent-infant intimacy or breastfeeding, which provides the baby with nutrients essential to staving off SIDS-related infections. A 2010 study by UNICEF’s Baby Friendly Initiative found that “the prevalence of breastfeeding

was significantly higher among ... groups that shared beds constantly or early for each of the first 15 months after birth.” “If (bed-sharing) is going to increase the chance that a mother and baby successfully breastfeed, then indirectly it might be protective,” said Dr. Dan Flanders, a Toronto pediatrician.
The Milwaukee health department caused a stir with its shock campaign suggesting that sleeping with one’s baby is just like putting him in bed with a meat cleaver.

26 bodies found dumped in Guadalajara HECTOR GUERRERO/GETTY IMAGES
The bound and gagged bodies of 26 men were found dumped before dawn Thursday in the heart of the picturesque city of Guadalajara, Mexico, a sign that full-scale war between drug cartels may have come to the metropolis that hosted last month’s Pan American Games. Law-enforcement officials said the men were found shot execution-style in two vans and a pickup truck abandoned near the
Millennium Arches, one of the most recognizable landmarks in Mexico’s secondlargest city. Best known as the home of mariachi music and tequila, Guadalajara also sits on the main highway running through western Mexico from the methamphetamine-producing state of Michoacan north toward the Pacific Coast state of Sinaloa. In recent months, security officials and analysts have worried that the

city could become a target for the Zetas drug cartel, which has been using paramilitary-style tactics and headline-grabbing atrocities in a national push to grab territory from older organized crime groups. “These acts of barbarism show how the war between cartels and crime is getting more brutal,” Guadalajara’s mayor, Jorge Aristoteles Sandoval, told reporters. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Message A message was found with the bodies in one of the vehicles, said Luis Carlos Najera, public security secretary for the state of Jalisco. He provided no details, but Mexican cartels frequently leave threatening messages with the bodies of their victims as a way of sowing fear and taking credit for their actions.

Arab League threatens Syria sanctions GETTY IMAGES
The league already suspended Syria’s membership for bloodshed and not abiding by peace plan An Arab League committee on Thursday gave Syria 24 hours to agree to allow an observer mission into the country, or it could face sanctions that include stopping financial dealings and freezing assets. The bloodshed in the country continued, with activists reporting at least 15 people killed, including civilians and security forces. Thursday’s threat was a humiliating blow to Damascus, a founding member of the Arab League. It comes as international pressure mounts on President Bashar al-Assad to stop the brutal crackdown on an uprising against his regime. The UN says at least 3,500 have

India’s cabinet decided Thursday to allow more direct foreign investment in the nation’s huge retail industry, a move that could strengthen the country’s food supply chain and open India to giant global retailers such as Walmart. The cabinet approved 51 per cent foreign direct investment in multibrand retail and increased the FDI cap in single-brand retail to 100 per cent despite resistance from both allies
and opposition parties. Top retailers like Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco and Ikea have long lobbied to free the policy further. Foreign multibrand retailers have Indian partners in wholesale operations now but have no retail presence in the country of 1.2billion people. The main opposition, the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party, decried the move. “The government has
clearly bowed to international pressure,” Chandan Mitra, a spokesman, told the same TV channel. India’s food supply chain is so beset by spoilage, poor infrastructure, hoarding and middlemen, the government estimates some 30 per cent of produce rots in a nation with soaring food costs and tens of millions who go to bed hungry each night. If companies like Wal-

D.B. Cooper parachuted out of airliner with the cash TERRI THEODORE/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Amateur sleuth Galen Cook believes the answer to America’s only unsolved hijacking lies in a Vancouver bank vault. That’s where the mysterious D.B. Cooper stashed $200,000 in extorted cash after parachuting out of a 727 jet 40 years ago Thursday, Cook says. And the outlaw’s son agrees with him. Greg Gossett said he’s “totally certain” his father, military veteran William Gossett, was D.B. Cooper. Greg Gossett said his father once pulled an FBI sketch of D.B. Cooper from a locked file drawer and asked if Greg recognized the man. Gossett said he told his

Palestinian rivals remain at odds
MOHAMMED AL-HAMS/CONTRIBUTED/GETTY IMAGES
Rival Palestinian leaders held their first detailed talks on reconciliation Thursday since the Islamic militant Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip more than four years ago, declaring they made progress toward sharing power but failing to resolve key issues. Mahmoud Abbas, the Western-backed Palestinian president, and Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal talked for two hours in Cairo but did not reach agreement on the composition of an interim unity government, a date for elections and other sensitive issues. The meeting raised new questions about whether the rivals are serious about sharing power, or just going through the motions. The split, leaving competing governments in the West Bank and Gaza, has

complicated peace efforts with Israel. The rift is unpopular among Palestinians, but the political camps have also benefited from the status quo and would have to give up positions of power for reconciliation. Both leaders described the atmosphere in Thursday’s meeting as positive, suggesting they are ready to embark on a partnership despite the bitter animosity of the past.

Egypt’s generals refuse to step down Military council insists parliamentary elections will start on time Monday Generals say they have a legitimate claim to power Egypt’s military rulers rejected protester demands for them to step down immediately and said Thursday that they would start the first round of elections on time next week, despite serious unrest in Cairo and other cities. The ruling military council insisted it is not the same as the old regime it replaced, but the generals appear to be on much the same path that doomed Hosni Mubarak nine months ago — responding to the current crisis by delivering speeches seen as arrogant, mixing concessions with threats and using brutal force. Protesters in Cairo’s
“We will not relinquish power because a slogan-chanting crowd said so. ... Being in power is not a blessing. It is a curse. It’s a very heavy responsibility.” MAJ.-GEN. MUKHTAR EL-MALLA
Tahrir Square say they will not leave the plaza until the generals step down in favour of a civilian presidential council, a show of resolve similar to that which forced Mubarak to give up power in February after nearly three decades. “What we want to hear is when they are leaving,” said Tahrir protester Khaled Mahmoud, on hearing of an apology offered by the military for the deaths of nearly 40 protesters since Saturday.
“The ouster of the marshal is only a matter of time,” he added, referring to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who was Mubarak’s defence minister for 20 years before he succeeded him in February. Maj.-Gen. Mamdouh Shaheen was one of two members of the military council who spoke at a news conference Thursday. “There will be no postponement in the election,” he said. “The election will be held on time with all of
its three stages on schedule.” The two generals — Shaheen and Maj.-Gen. Mukhtar el-Malla — said the throngs in Tahrir do not represent the whole of Egypt and warned of chaos if the council were to immediately step down. News reports that were not officially confirmed said Kamal el-Ganzouri, who served as prime minister under Mubarak in the 1990s, has been approached as a possible candidate for prime minister. If confirmed, el-Ganzouri would replace Essam Sharaf, whose government resigned this week.
Yemen regime change superficial: Experts A U.S.-backed deal for Yemen’s authoritarian president to step down fell far short of the demands of protesters who fought regime supporters on the streets of Sanaa on Thursday in clashes that left five dead. The agreement ending President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s 33year rule provides for only the shallowest of changes at the top of the regime, analysts say, something the U.S. administration likely favoured to preserve a fragile alliance against one of the world’s most active alQaida branches based in Yemen.

Portugal sinks into double trouble PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA/GETTY IMAGES
Credit downgrade comes as workers stage big strike Country may need second bailout: Experts Portugal’s efforts to climb out of its economic crisis suffered a double setback Thursday as its credit rating was downgraded to junk status and a strike gave voice to broad public outrage over austerity measures that have squeezed living standards. Portugal’s deepening plight underlined Europe’s difficulties in finding a way out of the continent’s government debt crisis, which has recently shown alarming signs of spreading to bigger nations, most notably Italy. Like others in the 17country eurozone, Portugal has embarked on a major austerity program to make its debts sustainable.
Not Greece A key difference from Greece is that the markets have not given up completely on Portugal. Though Portugal’s key 10year borrowing rate in the market stands at a still-exorbitant 12 per cent, it’s way below the 30 per cent or so Greek equivalent. The aim is to get that rate down below the seven per cent threshold.
But the government’s tough medicine, which is required by international creditors, is unpopular. The strike had a huge turnout, making it possibly the biggest walkout in more than 20 years.
Demonstrators face policemen during a protest against government austerity measures in Lisbon Thursday. Thousands of workers descended on Lisbon’s streets in an outpouring of anger at the country’s tough 2012 budget.

Egyptian-American columnist says she was beaten and groped after being detained near Tahrir Square CONTRIBUTED
A prominent Egyptian-born columnist said uniformed police sexually assaulted, beat and blindfolded her after she was detained Thursday near Tahrir Square during clashes, leaving her left arm and right hand broken and in casts. Mona Eltahawy, 44, arrived in Egypt Wednesday evening and went straight to Tahrir Square, getting close to the front lines of clashes between protesters and the police at the nearby Interior Ministry. She was detained outside the ministry in the early morning hours of Thursday and released about 12 hours later. “They hit me with their sticks on the arms and head. They sexually assault-

ed me, groping my breasts and putting their hands between my legs,” she told The Associated Press. “For a moment I said, ‘This is it. No one is around. I am finished.’” As she struggled, shouting: “No! No,” her attackers dragged her by her hair from the street to the Interior Ministry, cursing her. “What I experienced is
just the tip of the iceberg of the brutality Egyptians experience everyday,” she said, considering herself lucky because her dual nationality might have played a role in sparing her further abuse. Eltahawy lives in New York and is a prominent women’s rights defender, a lecturer on the role of social media in the Arab world and a former Reuters journalist. Eltahawy describes herself as a liberal Muslim who has spoken publicly in the U.S and other countries against violent Islamic groups, particularly in the wake of 9-11. She is known as a scathing critic of the former Egyptian regime. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Snowless Scandinavia
LEHTIKUVA, JANNE KOSKENNIEMI/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fall on track to be warmest ever Winter weather delayed a month For some reason, Scandinavia is not its frigid self, with unusually warm weather delaying the onset of winter in northern latitudes normally decked in white. The lack of snow has been bad news for winter sports — World Cup ski races have been dropped or held on artificial snow, and mountain ski resorts are unable to open. There are even reports of blooming gardens in some places typically entering the winter freeze. “Some flowers, like roses, have actually begun to blossom for a second time,” said Mats Rosenberg, a biologist in Orebro, south-central Sweden. In the Finnish town of Sodankyla, 130 kilometres
north of the Arctic Circle, snow cover started Nov. 17, the latest date in 100 years, said Pauli Jokinen, spokesman at the Finnish Meteorological Institute. Animals — such as stoats, hares and willow grouse — that change colour with the season turned white weeks before the snows came, bringing an eerie feeling to the snowless wilds of Lapland. Earlier this month, World Cup alpine skiing races were moved from Levi, Finland, to Austria because of the lack of snow. According to Sweden’s meteorological office, the average temperature measured for November so far is seven degrees Celsius above average.
A grassy, snowless ski slope is seen in Levi, Finland. Weather experts say this fall is on track to become one of the warmest on record in the northern part of Scandinavia.

Award-winning newsreader caught on camera giving U.S. president the finger Blames peers for mistake

We're sure there are plenty of ways to get fired when you're working in Russian media, but we wouldn't have speculated that flipping the bird at a sitting U.S. president would do the trick. But then along came Tatyana Limanova, an award-winning (former) newscaster for Russia’s REN TV, a privately owned channel, who offered the rude salute to Barack Obama during a live broadcast that aired to 120-million people earlier this month. After the video went viral following a report in a the London Daily Telegraph, the station announced that Limanova

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s once-mighty asbestos sector has ground to a halt for the first time in 130 years, as production of the controversial fibre has stalled in both of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mines. A shutdown this month marked a historic milestone for the Canadian asbestos industry, which at one time dominated world production and led to the construction of entire towns in Canada. Proponents of the industry insist itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far too early to write the obituary on
Canadian asbestos; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to start digging again as soon as the spring. But for now, amid all the noisy political debates and a dramatic anti-asbestos news conference Thursday on Parliament Hill, Canadian production has quietly and suddenly stopped. Work halted earlier this month at the Lac dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;amiante du Canada operation in Thetford Mines, Que., which followed a production stoppage at Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, about 90

kilometres away. The future of both mines is unclear. Jeffrey Mine needs a bank-loan guarantee from the Quebec government before it can start digging a new underground mine. Lac dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;amiante du Canada is apparently facing operational obstacles in accessing its mineral. The production shutdown is the latest dip for an industry that has long been a shadow of its former self.

Germany deflects calls for more bank power Many think the European Central Bank is the only institution capable of calming frayed market nerves MICHAEL SOHN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Germany fended off calls for the European Central Bank to play a bigger role in solving Europe’s debt crisis but won the backing of France and Italy to unite the troubled 17-nation eurozone more closely. Europe’s biggest economy and the main financier of the eurozone’s three bailouts has argued against allowing the ECB to use its firepower to ease a debt crisis that’s shown alarming signs recently of spreading. Instead of using the ECB’s cash-printing power, the eurozone’s richest countries decided to use political tools to dig their way out of the crisis: Germany and France agreed Thursday to push for changes to EU treaties to bring the eurozone’s economic policies

have nothing to do with the ECB,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday in France, after meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italy’s new Prime Minister Mario Monti. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sidney Crosby. It was a day some thought might never come. Canada’s Sid the Kid, out since early January with postconcussion syndrome, returned to the ice Monday night for his Penguins at home — with even CBC choosing to do a special broadcast. He was simply amazing, scoring two goals and two assists in a 5-0 storybook win over the Islanders. Yes, the best player in the world isn’t just back — he’s better
than ever. Feds and social media. Ottawa has rolled out formal guidelines for how their departments should use Twitter and Facebook, recognizing that “Web 2.0 is increasingly becoming a primary channel for sending, receiving and generating information.” The guidelines also say public servants should be aware of the risks of operating in social media circles. In other words, look for tweets of political correctness. Occupy camps. Occupy protest camps in Vancouver, Ottawa and Toronto were dismantled this week after eviction notices went out. The message(s) had been delivered, and the time had come for them to come down. The Toronto camp at St. James Park had taken on a life of its own: As Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti said, “We have Robin Hoods and makeshift Jesuses walking around, pretending that the park is theirs.” Now it’ll be Dog Park again. Password. Hackers love those who choose “password” as their online password. And there are lots of you, according to Internet security firm SplashData, which released the top password name rankings based on millions of stolen passwords. The Top 5: 1. password 2. 123456 3. 12345678 4. qwerty 5. abc123. And you’d better be more creative than going with “monkey,” you monkeys. That’s No. 6 on the list. Fox News. According to a new study, there is “something about watching Fox News that leads people to do worse on (news) questions than those who don’t watch any news at all.” The most informed respondents: People who listen to NPR, those who watch Sunday morning news programs and — best of all — viewers of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. ABA. With the NBA season a virtual wipeout due to the lockout, maybe the American Basketball Association will catch on. The calibre of play may not be up to NBA standards, but teams like the Los Angeles SLAM and Gulf Coast Flash could become household names if national TV chooses to broadcast some games. The legendary Dr. J got his start in the original ABA. There could be another legend waiting in the wings. Watch your gadgets. A new poll by polling/social media company Poll Position found that more than 60 per cent of us spend between one to six hours a day watching electronic devices like TV, computer screen, e-reader, PDA or cellphone.

❄ Racing and non-racing fans are rejoicing over Forza Motorsports 4, the new instalment in the series.
video game reviewer says The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the best RPG to date. It’s a vast, non-linear, open-ended ❄ Metro’s game with a brilliant character-levelling system in which what you choose to do makes all the difference.
❄ Kinect Sesame Street —
Once Upon A Monster is just one of the popular Kinect titles available.
Your holiday mission To get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as a gift, as well as other popular games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim KAREN FALCON
FOR METRO
Don’t know what to buy for that gamer on your list? Not to worry, we have played a bunch of the hottest stuff (ESRB M) and narrowed it down to the best holiday offerings. This stuff is so good you might just want to keep it for yourself.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
360, PS3, MS Windows, Wii It’s a record-busting, firstperson shooter that features no slowdowns, stunning graphics, 16 massive new maps, survival mode, special ops and online multiplayer, too. The campaign is once again a solid and frantic affair that meets all your expectations. Once you are done with that, it’s time to hop online. Online play is where this game shines so brightly it makes your eyes water. It’s just awesome. Rock solid gameplay combined with new modes, a great levelling system, and well-earned unlockables,
online multiplayer is the thing that will keep you coming back for more. And more. And more.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
360, PS3, MS Windows Words cannot describe the magnitude of Skyrim. It’s epic. It’s awesomely interactive and it’s perfect. Perhaps the best RPG to date, this is a vast, non-linear, openended game with a brilliant character-levelling system in which what you choose to do makes all the difference. You can choose to be a thief, skulking around in the shadows, or you can choose to be a warrior, an elf, or a berserker. Choices are almost limitless — for everything. It’s mindblowing. Chances are if you gift this (and you should), you won’t see your friend for a year — they will be too busy wandering around Skyrim hunting for stuff to mix potions and craft weapons. You should give them a year’s supply of frozen pizzas to go with. They’ll need ’em.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception
PS3 Exclusive to the PS3 and just in time for the holiday season, Uncharted 3 has launched to universally stupendous critical reviews. Why such good reviews? Because this game is quite possibly the slickest, best looking, most immersive single-player platformer to hit the market in more than three years. It’s visually stunning and has the most outstanding dialogue and cut scenes we have seen in recent history. This game is a complete package of perfection. It’s a climbing, jumping, shooting and puzzle-solving masterpiece. Oh, and did we mention the multiplayer? Yep, there’s that, too. Your friends and family need this game. A lot.
Xbox Gifts
We played our fingers off and found you the very best of the 360 exclusives. If they have an Xbox, we have you covered.
Forza Motorsport 4
ESRB E What do bowling and driv-
ing have in common? Forza 4. Racing and nonracing fans worldwide are rejoicing at this new instalment. And they should. The addition of Top Gear content is a stroke of genius. Then there are new cars and tracks, AI that responds to your level of difficulty, driving through traffic, and bowling with your car. If you add all that up, it’s the best racing simulator ever.
Kinect Sensor
Gears of War 3
Kinect Disneyland Adventures
ESRB M Everything is better in Gears 3. Everything. Fourplayer coop, new multiplayer modes, bajillions of unlockables, retrolancers, stuff that blows up, and perfect controls make this a top pick for the holiday season. Saving the world on insane is pretty impressive, but the Live is even more impressive. They will play this until their hands go numb — and that’s a good thing.
MSRP $149.99 OK, it’s not really a game, but a peripheral and we are here to tell you that if there is a child anywhere on your list, they need this. We invited a bunch of kids to play recent releases and we discovered the Kinect is actually crack for kids. They can’t stop using it — they just can’t. There are a whole whack of engaging titles this season and if you get them just one to go with their new Kinect, you are their favourite friend or relative — forever.
ESRB E/10+ It’s Disneyland attractions turned into mini-games and it’s addictive. Players will enjoy throwing snowballs at Yeti, sword fighting with pirates, hugging Mickey, and riding the most popular rides in the park. This game is totally stuffed with adventure, hidden secrets, wondrous Disney magic and lasting enjoyment. And there’s no lineups.
Kinect Dance Central 2
ESRB Teen Your teens will be moving and grooving all over the living room floor. With more than 40 new hits and routines, voice controls, dance battles, and an onscreen personal trainer, don’t forget to remind the kids to take breaks so they don’t wear out the carpet too fast.
Kinect Sesame Street — Once Upon A Monster
ESRB E/4+ It’s like playing a Sesame Street storybook — only better. It will get your little ones moving, solving problems, and learning — all at the same time. Six chapters, engaging mini-games, simple mechanics and their favourite furry Muppets makes this game an incredibly riveting experience for young gamers and a charming experience for their parents.

PLAN YOUR HOLIDAY MENUS Hosting meals during the holidays? Plan the menu and buy items well beforehand (e.g. frozen turkey, appetizers, drinks etc.).
MAKE YOUR GIFT-GIVING LIST Jot down names and gift ideas for family and friends. Tip: Be prepared for unexpected gifts; add some extra items to your list (e.g. candles, chocolates and wine).
child’s face at Christmas by setting up a toy mountain at work, at your church or community centre.
SERENADE A SENIOR Get a group of people together and go carolling at a senior residence. These are just a few suggestions. The opportunity to do some good in your community is limitless. You can explore more options at a local church, the Salvation Army or by searching online.
BEST HOLIDAY MOVIES From the nostalgic and the sappy to the humorous and the dramatic, almost everyone has one — a favourite holiday flick — that special movie that you get hopelessly drawn into watching again and again year after year. For some it might be Frank Capra’s 1946 classic It’s a Wonderful Life, for others something more of a modern-day classic like A Christmas Story (Who can forget little Ralphie’s famous request to Santa, “I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!“).
WRAP IT UP IN STYLE Set aside a couple of hours to wrap gifts. Tip: Gift bags are great for dressing up gifts and can be reused next year.

MOBILICITY: THE BEAUTY OF NOCONTRACT SERVICE
M ETRO CUSTOM PUB LISH I NG PRESENTED BY
“Mobilicity is a smarter, more affordable way to use mobile phones,” says Anthony Booth, Chief Customer Officer. Customers get unlimited talk, text and data service for a fraction of what the large carriers charge without contracts, credit checks or extra/hidden fees. Customers pay for their unlimited monthly service at the start of their month and use their mobile phone without worrying about incurring extra charges. “The price of the plan is the price you pay,” says Booth. Today, Mobilicity is offering great Black Friday deals on mobile phones – this on top of its 50% off regular unlimited monthly rate plans sale for the holiday season.
THE DIRT ON
WIRELESS CONTRACTS WHY YOU MIGHT THINK TWICE ABOUT SIGNING ONE
Anne Marie Garcia’s monthly mobile phone bill was through the roof — her $85 a month plan sometimes cost her between $400 and $1,000. Granted, Garcia, a 45-year-old credit union account manager in North Vancouver, called her sister in Los Angeles every morning for 30 minutes (her plan only provided 150 local daytime minutes). Plus, when she travelled, the data roaming charges added up fast. “It was ridiculous. I had to look for an alternative phone.” After 20 years of being with a large carrier, Garcia researched the cellular market and was impressed by Mobilicity’s unlimited wireless network. While she had to pay a $300 penalty to cancel the remainder of her threeyear contract, Garcia said it was well worth it. Now that she has Mobilicity’s unlimited talk, text and data service, her
morning long distance chats with her sister are better and longer than ever, “and there’s no way I’m going to pay more than the price of the plan.” Mobilicity also has the lowest roaming charges in North America.
Interestingly, contract issues are the second highest source of complaints from consumers, according the Canada’s Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services (CCTS), an independent organization that works with telecommunications customers and service providers to resolve complaints about services. Wireless contracts can be problematic in several ways. Here’s a quick look.
LITTLE FLEXIBILITY When Bob Barrett, 56, Toronto, realized his aging mother no longer used or needed her mobile phone, he contacted the carrier to cancel it. Unfortunately, earlier in the year, he had renewed her contract for another three years. Barrett pleaded his case to a few managers but found there were no exceptions to the rules. He would have to pay an early termination fee.
CANCELLATION FEES CCTS reports that many of the contract disputes were a result of early termination fees charged to consumers.
While there is legislation in Quebec and most recently Manitoba, that protects consumers with mobile phone contracts from high cancellation fees, consumers in the rest of Canada are at the mercy of company policy. For the most part, they face large cancellation fees that are usually tied to the contract and the amount owing on the phone. For example, Barrett was advised by his provider that the cancellation fee was $400. While there’s a move to pass similar legislation in Ontario, it hasn’t happened yet.
SURPRISE COSTS Despite having a contract for a plan with a set price, it’s easy to rack up usage beyond what’s covered in the plan — and end up with a huge bill at the end of the month. If you don’t keep track of how many minutes or megabytes of data you’ve used... or the cost of roaming, you could get an expensive surprise when you open your next phone bill.
BREAKING A CONTRACT If you want to take advantage of one of Mobilicity’s sweet holiday deals, there are ways to get out of your mobile phone contract early, according to industry blogs and other online sources. Find someone who will take over the contract. Check websites such as cellclients.com and ca.cellswapper.com. The Utility Consumers’ Action Network (ucan.org) recommends checking the fine print for grounds for cancelling. Some providers may let you cancel without penalty if you move somewhere where service isn’t offered. Pay the penalty. Often it can cost less in the long run to cancel your contract and go to another carrier like Mobilicity, where you can start seeing savings on your wireless usage immediately.
HOLIDAY MAGIC ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE EVERYONE LOVES SCRABBLE...
KEEP TRACK OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Now you can play the classic word game wherever you might be... sitting in an airport lounge or in the waiting room of your doctor’s office. SCRABBLE Free, a recommendation from PCWorld.com, lets you play against random opponents or friends online. You can even go into "Pass N' Play" mode to play against a friend by passing a tablet back and forth. Can you spell GREAT?
When Neluka Leanage of Toronto, goes shopping, she likes to keep track of her purchases on Hello Expense. The app makes it easy to input and track her expenditures by category — and spending habits over a week, month and year. When Leanage sees she’s spending too much on Christmas gifts, she can rethink her gifts list. “You can also download the data in an Excel file,” says Leanage, “so you can print it out and tack it up on your bulletin board as a reminder.”

SHARING PHOTOS Business consultant Larry Jackson of Oakville, Ont. stopped attaching jpeg files to emails ages ago. Now when he wants to share photos with his family and friends, he uses the Dropbox app. It’s a storage service that lets him store photos, documents and other material so he and his family can access it from their PCs, phones or other devices. It just makes life so simple, he says.
NAME THAT TUNE Lisa Barrett, of Newmarket, Ont., is a music aficionado... and used to find it really frustrating when she heard a song and couldn’t remember the title. Now Barrett uses Shazam Encore, a neat app that identifies songs instantly. Now all she has to do is hold her mobile phone up to the music and “shazam!” — it identifies the song immediately.
FOODIES REJOICE! If you’re like retiree Donna Palmer of Kelowna, B.C., you may be wondering what new delicious recipe you can serve at your holiday table this year. The Epicurious app on Palmer’s smartphone lets her find recipes using a voice-recognition search. Cranberry Stuffing, Tree-Trimming Cider Punch, Shortbread Cookies... with a recipe app on your side, the possibilities are endless!

Tips to simplify shopping It’s easy to feel overwhelmed this time of year, but you can survive the chaos Are you overwhelmed at the prospect of tackling your holiday gift list? Here are a few tips to help put your fears to rest and conquer that list like a pro:
1
Get gifts that are personal. Start by making a list. Write down who you are shopping for and then list their interests. This will
help you narrow down gift ideas and ensure success.
2
Avoid spending time on wasteful items — such as a card for every present. Print personalized labels at stickeryou.com and put them on everything from presents to wine bottles to your holiday baking. This
will save you both time and money.
3
Find gifts that can be enjoyed by the whole family. If you have four family members on your list, cut it down by settling on one gift they can all enjoy together. This can include a board game, a DVD set, even a craft toy. For example,
StickerYou.com has a new product called Make + Print Your Own Stickers. It offers packages of 40110 stickers that make for a fun craft project for the whole family. Mom can make family address labels, dad can come up with funny bumper stickers, and the kids can design name stickers for all their gear.
4
Order online. Avoid line ups at the mall — let the gifts come to you. Or better yet — have it shipped directly to them.

Bookmark these engaging titles Books are always a popular gift for young and old
Laugh, learn, follow interesting characters to pass the time
RICHARD SCRIMGER FOR METRO
These pageturners will whet the appetites of book lovers on your gift list these holidays.
KIDS Grandpa Green — Lane Smith A seemingly simple story about an old man and a garden, this is a rich visual feast, page after page of brilliant memories evoked through — would you believe? — topiary. Lane Smith is one of the coolest illustrators ever and this book is a stunner. Meet Einstein — Mariela Kleiner An energetic and FUN book about light, gravity, and physics. Kleiner brings the story home to young readers by showing how science applies to the world they know. Yes, there are test tubes but the colourful cartoony pictures by Viviana Garofoli show kids sliding down slides and dropping things. There are just enough facts to be interesting without overbearing. A breezy, conversational tone helps readers (young and old — there’s stuff for grown-ups, too) to realize how entertaining science can be. Migrant — Maxine Trottier A young girl migrates back and forth between Mexico and Canada every year. Trottier is a prolific and well-loved Canadian storyteller and this book does a great job of bringing the reader into the lives of poor folks travelling to and working in a country that is not theirs. The kid’s-eye persepctive is well captured — we see everything from An-
COMSTOCK/THINKSTOCK
❄ Get caught up on your book list and snuggle up for some quality reading this holiday season. na’s point of view. The illustrations by Isabelle Arsenault are cool and stylish pencil drawings. It’s straightforward and yet poetic — a well-told story of hardship and survival.
TWEENS AND TEENS The Emerald Atlas — John Stephens A vivid fantasy adventure story about three orphans — Kate, Michael and Emma — who don’t even have a last name, but only an initial, who are transported via a mysterious book to a magical world that they have to save from a vile villainess and her even more malevolent master. Sounds like the next Harry Potter, which could be the kiss of death, but don’t worry. There are lots of familiar ideas, but the fantasy world is well imagined and the story is, in fact, really good. Okay For Now — Gary Schmidt Doug Swieteck is a regular guy living in an upstate New York town. He has a
mean, dumb dad, a brother getting in trouble with the cops and another brother getting wounded in Vietnam. Doug finds himself at the library where he learns a sad secret about his favourite book — the Audubon portfolio, whose vivid drawings enthrall him and make him want to draw, too. The book is grotty, funny, tender and magic-fantastic, all at the same time. Blink & Caution — Tim Wynne-Jones What a fast-paced story! A street kid from Toronto witnesses an act of terrorism and has to spend the rest of the story on the run. Everything that can go wrong, does. The stakes are high and there are all sorts of misunderstandings surrounding our dynamic duo. Wynne-Jones delivers mystery and humour, lik-
able characters and offbeat narration. I read it in one go — did not want to put it down.
ADULTS At Home — A Short History of Private Life — Bill Bryson What can I say about Bill Bryson? He could, as one reviewer says, write about dryer lint and make us laugh out loud. Over the years I have laughed and marvelled at his books of travel, his memoirs, and his examination of the English language. So I am not surprised at how much I enjoyed this foray into the world of the home. He studies it thematically, room by room, using facts and artifacts to link science and art and history together. Anecdotes wander like vines through the pages, from poisonous wallpaper to 19th-century household coal consumption (a ton a month!) to the Duke of Marlborough, who was so cheap he refused to dot his i’s to save ink. Wiser and gentler
than David Sedaris, but just as funny. Irma Voth — Miriam Toews Irma is a 19-year-old Mexican Mennonite, a puzzled wife, a dreamer, a keeper of secrets. When filmmakers come to her isolated campo she becomes their translator and begins to see her closed world from outside. Threatened by the past, she and her two sisters take off for Mexico City, freedom, maybe even joy. Toews’ writing is lean and pacy, her characterisations deft, and she has an uncanny ability to make a sad scene funny. My personal favourite of her books. Better Living Through Plastic Explosives — Zsuzsi Gartner These weird and wonderful stories are set in real and fantastic worlds, present and future. This is the wackiest book on the Giller shortlist, which may be why I like it so much. Gartner’s prose is sharp, cutting and edgy. Odd glittery images pile up and then are
pushed aside to make room for new ones. It’s all urban and techsavvy and cold and plastic — the title is very apt — and it could be deadly and lifeless but it isn’t. It’s exciting writing. Gartner is neither bored nor boring. Read Better Living and get a buzz on.
KIDS AND PARENTS Go the F**k To Sleep A totally credible story line — Dad can NOT get his two-year-old daughter to go to sleep and gets madder and madder as she avoids and prevaricates. Written in a kind of parody of old style rhyming lullaby books, this is really a story about parenting. The super-sweet illustrations coupled with the potty language allow for an unexpected lightness. It gives us parents a chance to laugh at ourselves and our anger at our kids in a nearuniversal human dilemma. Such a simple idea, so well done. A book I really wish I had written.

Handmade gifts with a creative twist The holidays can pose a challenge for crafters: What to make for friends and relatives that is useful, attractive — and fast to churn out? Speed and simplicity are key this time of year. These projects capture the imagination and offer ample opportunity for improvising; put your creative twist on any of them for memorable gifts. Felt soap The first time Leah Adams of Seattle gave out felt soap for the holidays, one of her relatives cut the felt away, taking it for elaborate packaging. It wasn’t. The colourful felting is slightly abrasive and holds suds well. Five years later, Adams sells hundreds of felt soaps, including at her Etsy online shop, kneek, or SpiderFelt. But she always includes a tag that warns against cutting away the felt. Adams recommends viewing her Felt Soap Tutorial on YouTube for complete instructions, but it’s basically wrapping a 55gram bar of soap in wool roving, adding water, and then gently agitating the wool until it shrinks tightly around the soap. Presto. e-reader cover Lisa Occhipinti of Venice, Calif., is a painter and sculptor who tears apart old books, incorporating pages into her fine art, but also devising ingenious everyday sculptural
uses, from mobiles and mirrors to wreaths and the “Kindle Keeper.” She finds old books at thrift stores and garage sales. The Kindle Keeper can be fashioned for any electronic tablet, protecting the device while returning the feel of a good book to the e-reading experience. She explains how to customize the project in her book The Repurposed Library (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2011): Start with an orphaned hardcover book whose title or cover art match the gift recipient’s interests and is large enough to comfortably fit the device. Tear out the inside pages. Cut a piece of decorative paper to fit the spine’s height and width, adding 1.3 centimetres to the width. Glue that in; allow it to dry. Apply three small Velcro dots to the back of the electronic device — two at the top, one at the bottom. Attach the hook mates to each piece of Velcro, then remove the paper backing and centre the device on the inside back cover of the old book, pressing to secure the Velcro to the back cover. Simple beaded jewelry The 2011 Martha Stewart Holiday Handbook shares instructions for how to make delicate, beaded necklaces with minimal parts. Its simplicity is the beauty of this project, says Marci McGoldrick, editorial director of Holiday & Crafts for Martha Stewart Living.

“A lot of jewelry on the market now uses ribbon instead of chain, or there’s fabric incorporated into it,” says McGoldrick. Using 50 centimetres of 5mm-wide ribbon and a beading needle, string assorted beads. Attach a clasp and a connector to
the ribbon at each end, knotting them into place. Another necklace: For a continuous strand of beads, use 50 centimetres of silk beading cord. Attach a connector to the end of the cord and thread with beads. At the midpoint, thread two jingle bells, and
then continue beading. Affix the clasp to the other end by knotting it. Embellished T-shirts There are many ways to embellish and personalize a T-shirt; hand or kitchen towels; or a tote. McGoldrick suggests
taking a profile photo of a beloved pet, enlarging it and cutting it out of a fabric that won’t fray, such as ultrasuede. Attach the silhouette and a twill-tape collar and leash to a tote with craft glue; sew them to a T-shirt or towel. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HANDOUT
Synopsis Based on two books by Colin Clark, The Prince, The Showgirl and Me and My Week with Marilyn, the movie’s main character isn’t Monroe, but Clark (Eddie Redmayne), the third assistant director on The Prince and the Showgirl starring Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and Monroe. It was the summer of 1956 and Clark was a 23-year-old who, like the rest of the planet, was smitten with Monroe. The two form a bond, and for a few days it looks like his love for her might actually be reciprocated. Ratings: Richard: 811 1⁄2 Mark: 111

Michelle Williams steals the show in My Week With Marilyn.
‘Marilyn’ charms
My Week With Marilyn gives its actors lots of chances to showcase their chops Richard: Mark, almost 50 years after her death, Marilyn Monroe is still one of the best-known actresses in the world and yet Michelle Williams manages to bring something new to someone we thought we knew so well. Even though I liked this movie and thought that Monroe’s off-screen life, as dramatic as anything she ever did on screen, is tenderly portrayed, the story isn’t as interesting as the performance. What did you think? Mark: This movie is definitely NOT the Marilyn Monroe biopic. It’s a small, charming film about the havoc the sexiest woman in the world can have on those around
her. The movie’s fabulous first half sets up the characters, milieu, and conflicts, but then doesn’t have anywhere to go. So the story is weak, as you say, but its pleasures are in the fine details, including Michelle Williams’ amazing portrayal of Ms. Monroe, and the wonderful sense of time and place on a film set circa 1956. And I’ve never seen Kenneth Branagh better! RC: Branagh is very good, but when placed against Williams’s Monroe his work seems to lack the soul she brings to every frame of film. He does have many of the film’s best lines, however. His delivery of lines like, “Trying
to teach Marilyn to act is like teaching Urdu to a badger,” is letter perfect and adds much to the movie but I think the Oscar nomination here will go to Williams. MB: The movie belongs to her, no question. But there are so many finely etched smaller parts that flesh out the movie. Judi Dench as the regal Dame Sybil Thorndike and Zoe Wanamaker as prickly acting coach Paula Strasberg are both exceptional. But why was the Arthur Miller part so underwritten? And were you impressed by Eddie Redmayne as the boy who becomes a man? RC: His story should have been titled The Week I Al-

most Made It with Marilyn. It might have spiced up his role a bit. He’s good, I think, but when Williams and Branagh are on screen he disappears. He’s a main character but unfortunately for him he’s saddled with a quiet role in a movie filled with bravura performances. MB: I thought the movie was quite funny in places, by the way; the clash of acting styles between the Brits and the Yanks made for good fun, as did Branagh’s growing exasperation with his star. But the abrupt turnaround at the end of the movie where he gushes over Marilyn’s “natural, intuitive talent” seemed forced and false.

We give thanks for these films With Thanksgiving weekend underway down south, we thought we’d show our gratitude for these great flicks It’s Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S., with our southern neighbours reflecting on the people and things for which they’re grateful. Since we love movies, we thought it would be a good time to choose five for which we’re thankful. These are the cinematic equivalent of comfort food; ones that can be watched over and over again, and always rely on making you laugh, lift you up or provide an escape. (The inclusion of anything by John Hughes goes without saying.) Ask us next week and this list might be different. But for this weekend, dig in.
Rushmore (1998) This remains Wes Anderson’s best movie. Young Jason Schwartzman, making his film debut, stars as Max Fischer, who’s involved in everything at the exclusive Rushmore Academy. A restrained Bill Murray is hilarious as the depressed father of a couple of Max’s classmates, with whom Max forms an unlikely friendship — until they fall for the affections of the first-grade teacher.
The Sound of Music (1965)
This is Spinal Tap (1984)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Yes, it’s a huge movie and a classic, winner of five Academy Awards. But there’s something so personal about it; we all grew up watching it — it’s one of those movies that is on television every year around the holidays. Why shouldn’t Julie Andrews be able to come up with just the perfect, inspiring tune on the spot, or make play clothes out of drapes for all seven Von Trapp children, and still find time to make goo-goo eyes at the captain?
Pretty much the greatest mockumentary ever, the one that launched Christopher Guest’s entire oeuvre. So many great, quotable lines. So many ridiculous songs in this fake behind-thescenes look at a spectacularly awful and over-the-top British rock band. So many small, deadpan ad-libs that produce huge laughs.
Admittedly, this is not the Coen brothers’ best film, but the cult of Lebowski is just too powerful. There’s something hypnotic about it: the way The Dude navigates the increasingly surreal adventure in which he’s found himself. Bowling, Vietnam, white Russians, porn, a toe with green nail polish on it and a crucial rug all collide in weird and wonderful ways. No matter what Jeff Bridges accomplishes, he will always be The Dude.
This Disney animated film is an uncharacteristically chickish choice on our part, given its themes of a woman in peril who needs a man to rescue her. So no, it’s not terribly forwardthinking. But when you were little didn’t it all seem so romantic? Aurora was so gorgeous and graceful, tall and blond, the epitome of feminine beauty back then. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“‘HUGO’ WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY.” PETER TRAVERS
The price of progress Documentary critiques a world of haves and have-nots HANDOUT
ADAM NAYMAN
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
When Harold Crooks and Mathieu Roy’s documentary Surviving Progress premiered in September at the Toronto International Film Festival, it was already considered to be ‘timely.’ Adapted from Ronald Wright’s bestselling Massey Lecture about the fallout of technological progress and unsustainable consumption, the film uses sophisticated visuals and an array of famous talking heads (including Margaret Atwood) to paint a despairing picture of a global society divided into haves and have-nots. Discussing the film on the eve of its theatrical release, both filmmakers acknowledge that the Occupy Wall Street move-
Margaret Atwood is one of many famous talking heads who lend their opinions in Surviving Progress.
ment, and its offshoots in other big cities like Toronto, make Surviving Progress even more of a movie of the moment. “It’s a miracle of timing that it occupies the OWS movement’s focus on growing inequality and the hijacking of democracy by a financial oligarchy,” says Crooks. “Those themes are central to Wright’s book and to our film. As the OWS protest transforms, hope-
fully our film will continue to contribute to the conversation about what a sustainable society might be.” “Our producers organized a special screening for about 30 protestors in Montreal,” adds Roy, “and they all loved the film. One 21-year-old philosophy student said that he appreciated the idea of a film with ideas revolving around ethics and morality.”

RECORD STORE NOSTALGIA
GETTY IMAGES
SOUND CHECK
SUPERIOR
ENGAGEMENT
ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA
As CD sales continue to crater, record stores have to reinvent themselves.
N
Play Taxi Media is a Canadian-based media company that offers interactive & measurable digital media solutions.
Something has been lost in the modern world of music.
No. 3: The longbox
People forgot that prerecorded cassettes were briefly better sellers than vinyl or CDs. Back in the middle â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, if you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find that album on one format, chances are youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find it in one of the other sections.
Retailers initially resisted stocking CDs because they had spent millions on shelving displays for both vinyl and cassettes. Now the labels wanted more investment in new shelving? A compromise was reached in the form of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;longbox,â&#x20AC;? wasteful paper and/or plastic packaging that was about as wide as a CD but 12 inches long. This meant two rows of CDs could occupy the same bin space as one row of albums. The worst ones were all-plastic heat-sealed ones that required industrial tinsnips to open.
No. 2: The 45 section
No. 4: Midnight Record Sales
I used to spend hours flipping through the singles section at Sam the Record Man. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford full albums but I could afford a 99-cent 45. This store had rows and rows and rows of them. Funny how the price hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed.
In the days before the Internet, the only way to be the first of your friends to own the new album from your favourite group was to line up outside the record store on the day it came out. If the album was big enough, stores
aturally, some of us grow misty at what record store shopping used to be like. No. 1: Separate sections for vinyl, CDs and pre-recorded cassettes
would stay open past midnight and at 12:01am on the release day, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d let everyone in to buy the record. No. 5: The big record catalogue
Somewhere in these old record stores was a giant catalogue of available albums and singles across all genres. Generally it was clamped to a heavy stand somewhere that the clerks could make sure that no one was ripping out pages. This is where one would look to see if a record that wasn't in stock was even available. If it was, you'd order it by its catalogue number. If you were lucky, you'd have the record in a couple of weeks. Quaint, I know, but I still miss this stuff.

Mastodon: The recipe for metal Their latest offering — The Hunter — includes a wealth of additional download options Continue to hold album imagery dear to their hearts KARL WALTER/GETTY IMAGES
LINDA LABA
Hunting
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
If there’s one thing about heavy metal that’s often overlooked, it’s that the music is as theatrically intense as it is sonically relentless. Take Mastodon, who returned this fall with The Hunter — a proper followup to the Atlanta metalheads’ critically acclaimed Crack the Skye. Not only does The Hunter include a download code for a nifty 3D, interactive Augmented Reality Experience to play with, but the intricate cover also captures Mastodon’s rich, mythology-themed music. “You have to make a good representation of what’s on the inside on the outside,” co-guitarist and singer Bill Kelliher says. “We’re all fans of mythology and dinosaurs and big creatures — the unknown and weird things. All the things that 14-year-old boys are interested in.” Kelliher pauses, realizing that he just equated Mastodon with juveniles.
Artwork aside, it’s the music that galvanized critics to high praise when The Hunter emerged. Quote: “We’re doing the best we can,” says Kelliher. “We had a month before we left for a European tour. I didn’t think we were ready to go into the studio, but lo and behold, all of a sudden we had this amazing f—ing record. It was an outpouring of creativity.”
Troy Sanders of Mastodon performs during day two of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in 2009.
“We’re all still like kids in that way,” he said. As an actual kid grow-
ing up in Rochester, N.Y., Kelliher would browse record stores — and more
often than not, it was an album cover that got him hooked before the music. “I’d pick up the Agnostic Front records, or Iron Maiden’s, and think, ‘Wow, this must be awesome,’” he recalls. “You look at Slayer’s Reign In Blood and think, ‘Wow, this is sick!’” Indeed, we do. “That’s what drew me in to listening to Iron Maiden or Slayer. It piques your curiosity. If there’s a dumb photo of the band on the cover you think, ‘What is this crap?’ That’s not interesting to me.”

Guitarist Ryan Peake says the band is planning to include countries they haven’t played in for a long time on their new tour. “We could do our usual route, but we are keen to give something back to fans who haven’t seen us for many years,” says Ryan Peake.

Which way to Carnegie? Jason Mraz talks about his journey and how he found his way to biggest venues on Earth MEREDITH ENGEL
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
It’s nighttime in Indonesia when we get Jason Mraz on the phone, although day broke just a few hours prior in New York. Mraz is in Bali for his latest tour, which features just him and percussionist Toca Rivera performing at iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House and, this week, Carnegie Hall. Mraz gave us some insight into these strippeddown shows. How’s your tour going so far?
I can’t complain because we’re in Bali at the moment, and I never thought that my tours would bring me here. The night before last we played in Taiwan to a captive crowd of
IN THE FUTURE You have a new album set to come out in 2012?
Yeah, it’s finally finished. It isn’t a departure from anything that we’ve done in the past — there’s certainly a new sound but it isn’t a departure from the 3,000 people. As a musician, you get spoiled when an audience gives you the silence that you crave. When there’s a silent cavern for you to perform in, the sound truly exists in its truest form and I get off on that. Why did you decide to play Carnegie Hall?
We really just tried to pick great locations and great venues that we’ve always wanted to play, because this isn’t
genre. The sound is rich in texture, I think the vocal performances are strong (and) the themes tie together really well on this album. I’ve always been a writer that likes to explore the contradictions, or the paradoxes, in life, or the balance in life, and how all of it I think is necessary, so this new album just kinda carries on that same path of thought.
about promoting an album — we’re just having an opportunity to put our music out there. We could come to New York and play in any theatre or club, and our fans would come, but why not give them the experience of Carnegie Hall as well? And for the musician, it’s perhaps the pinnacle. It’s what you to aspire to, to play in these historic venues. I’ve played in more than one basketball court, and arena, and coliseum, but when you get to play
in a venue that was created specifically for music or art, then the words, the lyrics — it’s going to be so much more powerful in that space, as will the receiving of those words, the listening. Are things different when you play these songs now, as opposed to when you first wrote them?
I think the only thing that’s changed, honestly, other than time, are little silly things like hotel accommodations. The core of what we do is the same: We’re still singing songs about gratitude, transformation, selfawareness, love, self-empowerment — it’s just really human stuff. One of your shows at Carnegie Hall will be just for children. Do you have babies on the brain or something?

I don’t have babies on the brain (laughs), but I have many friends who do have babies on their laps. I’ve written a few songs in the past couple of years that I’ve set aside because I’ve said, “These sound like they belong on a kids album.” Reintroducing these songs in a kids show seems like the best place to test the material out before I do dive into something like a kids album, which I think will show up in the next couple of years. It’s not that I wanna make an album for kids, it’s that I wanna make an album for the parents who I know have to listen to kids albums a thousand times in a row. My brother, for instance, who has a fiveyear-old son, we get in the car and the most absurd music comes on and the song is on repeat —
I don’t know what it is, but it’s all like noise and bells and whistles and goofy voices and stuff, so I have compassion for him and wanna make an album for that.

Steven Tyler, left, and Randy Jackson will return with Jennifer Lopez as judges on American Idol.
Status quo is A-OK
After many tweaks last year, Idol producer says no major changes in store
American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe says don't expect any major changes when the hit Fox TV show returns in January after undergoing an extensive makeover last season. Lythgoe, who helped transform Britain's Pop Idol into the American TV juggernaut in 2002, returned as executive producer last season to usher in the postSimon Cowell era. That ended a two-year hiatus that al-
“The kids that have auditioned this year that we’re going to be taking to Hollywood in December are again really talented and really diverse.” EXECUTIVE PRODUCER NIGEL LYTHGOE
lowed him to focus on So You Think You Can Dance, which he produces and helps judge. For the 10th American Idol season, Lythgoe introduced new judges, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, to join holdover Randy Jackson. Veteran music producer Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope-GeffenA&M, was brought in as an in-house mentor for the contestants. All of them are back for Season 11, Lythgoe said. “I think we made a lot of tweaks last
year,” Lythgoe said. “I'm not sure that we want to make too many more tweaks this year.” Lythgoe said the most significant change introduced last year had nothing to do with the judges: It was a decision to avoid those fishout-ofwater mo-
ments that forced very talented singers to sing in styles that didn't suit them. “The biggest change we made last year was to say, ‘OK, if you're a country singer you can sing any of these genres in your country style,’” Lythgoe said. “‘We're not going to force you to do rock or anything you can't do. You can take a Michael Jackson song and turn it country.’” That resulted in singers such as Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart advancing much deeper into the competition than they might have in previous years. The two teenage finalists, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina, were country singers. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Iron Man powers onto the screen Most scripted network series have Friday night off thanks to U.S. Thanksgiving, but there's a bevy of feature films on offer instead. Fox and Global will show the comic-book extravaganza Iron Man, NBC and CTV counter with the Nicolas Cage adventure National Treasure: Book of Secrets. On ABC and CTV Two, meanwhile, is the animated smash Shrek the Third.
Get your X-mas fill early It's less than a month until Christmas and your TV will not let you forget it. But it's tough to resent
the inevitable flood of holiday-themed specials when the programming is as enjoyable as Will Ferrell's goofy 2003 comedy Elf, which airs Saturday on Showcase following the 1997 family film Dear Santa.
Not in a festive mood? Of course, it's still November and if you're not in the holiday spirit yet, don't fret — there are plenty of other feature-length films on offer Saturday. CTV is showing the Jerry Seinfeld-starred animated film Bee Movie and W has the popular Jennifer Aniston weepie Marley & Me. And with Jason Segel's new Muppets film currently headlining cinema marquees around the world, Peachtree TV is broadcasting his hilarious 2007 comedy I Love You, Man. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Hell on Wheels is an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;important showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; FREDERICK M. BROWN/GETTY IMAGES
Common plays a slave in role that defies stereotypes about slavery The history of slavery in America is a history of resistance and rebellion. Yet, movies and TV do not always showcase those themes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one reason why the rapper Common is excited about AMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new series, Hell on Wheels, a Western that chronicles the building of the transcontinental railroad. Common plays mixedraced former slave Elam Ferguson, who works on the rail system. Portraying a slave, he says, is a big deal, particularly because his character defies the stereotypes often seen in films and television. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen slaves obviously going through so much pain and trouble, they were oppressed and downtrodden, so it was more of a lower position. (My character) has been through a lot of things, but is holding his head up high and his shoulders are up strong,â&#x20AC;? says Common, who was born Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr. At first, Common says he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in a TV role, but then his agent suggested he
N-word One experience in filming the show was really difficult for Common: when white cast members used the N-word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you try to think that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re acting, it still just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel right,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get that feeling like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Man, this is not good.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
read the script for Hell on Wheels. Common says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time he has played a character so complex. The Grammy-winning entertainer researched by reading about African slaves of the 19th century and visiting former plantations in South. He calls his journey â&#x20AC;&#x153;deepâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;heavy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel blessed that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to represent what a black man, what a black person was at

From Smashing Pumpkins to smashing people GETTY IMAGES
Billy Corgan starts indie Chicago wrestling company The long-standing relationship between rock music and professional wrestling has a new partner: Billy Corgan. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman has joined with two wrestling promoter brothers to debut the first show of Resistance Pro, an indie wrestling company, on Friday at a downtown Chicago dance club. Corgan describes himself as a child-
hood wrestling fan who fell away from it, only to rediscover it as an adult hobby before learning about the business. “Our vision is to try to grow talent,” Corgan said in an interview from Europe, where the Smashing Pumpkins are on tour. The Chicago-area native will miss Resistance Pro’s opening night, but co-owner and promoter Gabe Baron says a
second show will be announced at the Friday event. “We have people who are going to work for us who are pretty well known on the indie circuit,” Corgan said. “You have to start somewhere, and part of that is creating a curiosity in the audience.” Resistance Pro’s website boasts pictures of more than two dozen costumed
Billy Corgan
wrestling personalities with names like The Sheik, Danny Dominion and Sassy Stephie. Eventually Resistance Pro’s goal is to expand nationally, but not using Corgan’s celebrity alone. Still, the rocker’s picture is the largest, placed among five wrestlers on an advertisement for Friday’s show. “We have to start in Chicago and build a name for ourselves and build enough of a reputation to take it other places,” Cor-
gan said. “It’s a serious endeavour. I want this to succeed strictly on its ideas. If I had to artificially prime the audience because of my musical life that’s sad. This is going to succeed on its own ideas, not because I jumped the shark.” Corgan’s involvement will mean concussion prevention efforts. He said he won’t allow Resistance Pro wrestlers to perform risky moves, like chair shots to the head. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Full-bellied appreciation History of food, pleasures of eating detailed in Adam Gopnik’s new book It is linked to his book on winter HANDOUT
What’s seemingly never brought to mind is that you can save hundreds (even thousands) by shopping around for auto insurance. All without affecting your coverage. We’ve harnessed the search power of the internet to offer you choice. It’s fast, FREE and easy to use, with absolutely no obligation. And stop paying your current insurance provider a fortune just for old time’s sake.
Acclaimed New Yorker essayist Adam Gopnik toured Canada recently to deliver Massey Lectures on his chosen theme, winter, and he returned this week to talk about another subject close to his heart — food. Winter: Five Windows on the Season was written simultaneously with The Table Comes First: Family, France and the Meaning of Food, and Gopnik allows that related engagements have kept him on the go for several weeks now. In addition to keeping their author busy, the books are “linked or allied,” he said in an interview at his publisher’s office. “They’re both very much about — how can I put this? — the elaboration of meaning in places where you wouldn’t expect a lot of meaning to arise: In what previously had been seen as a bleak and forbidding season, winter, and what previously before modern times had often been seen as a human necessity rather than a human desire, as a need rather than as a desire.” In modern times, people stand at the window and watch snowstorms, he said, and they sit at the table with their families. If they’re lucky, there is an abundance of food and they have to decide what to do with it. Gopnik, 55, is an American who spent many of his formative years in Montreal, and his parents and wife, son and daughter have Canadian citizenship. His scientist mother has been a huge influence in his appreciation of food. “It’s not so much the recipes that she taught me, the ‘do this, do that,’ it’s that your nerve endings become attuned to the nerve endings of your mentor. I’m never scared by a recipe. I can sort of visualize my mother beating egg whites or making a creme anglaise or something like that.” In the book, he declares
Adam Gopnik
Sentimental title
The title of the book, The Table Comes First, was inspired by a conversation with British chef Fergus Henderson, who said he couldn’t understand how a young couple could begin life by buying a sofa or a television. In Gopnik’s case, he and his wife Martha started out with a little travertine coffee table in their tiny New York City apartment, and later they were able to enlarge it with a wooden overlay built by his mother.
that he loves to eat — simple food, fancy food, eating out, eating at home. Now that the weather has turned colder, Gopnik surmised that people across North America are spending more time in their kitchens and dining rooms.
In fact, he said the kitchen is the place where people do a lot of their serious eating and talking, whipping up scrambled eggs at 11:30 at night or having their “Dad, I’m gay,” conversations. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Yeater’s camp still ‘Beliebers’ It looked like Justin Bieber’s paternity suit drama was over, but now lawyers for Mariah Yeater say the young mother is ready to compare her 4-month-old son’s DNA with Bieber’s, Jeffrey Leving, Yeater’s attorney, tells TMZ. And Leving and his team
already seem to be planting the seeds for a defence if the results don’t come back in their favour, as Leving notes that no one from their team was present when Bieber took his DNA test last week, so they can’t say for sure it was done properly or is valid. METRO

Miley Cyrus celebrated her 19th birthday in style with a lavish private party at the nightclub Beacher’s Madhouse inside the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, according to Us Weekly. “Her mom, Tish, went and so did her boyfriend, Liam [Hemsworth],” a source says of the party, which was put together by pal Kelly Osbourne. “The group was up until
3 a.m. just dancing up a storm and having fun.” Cyrus definitely seemed pleased, calling the event “the best party ever” on Twitter. “Let's just say there was a unicorn in the lobby,” she tweeted. And according to E! News, there was in fact a horse with a horn attached to its head inside the party. METRO

In a large bowl, stir together onion, egg, salsa, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Stir in crushed tortilla chips and let stand for 10 minutes to soften. Mix in beef until well combined. Using tablespoon (15 mL) measuring spoon or mini ice cream scoop,
roll mixture into balls and place onto foil-lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet about 6 inches (15 cm) under broiler on high and broil for about 10 minutes, turning pan if necessary to cook evenly until golden and no longer pink inside.

I don’t come to football naturally. I’m much more of a baseball kind of guy. But thanks to my in-laws’ passion for the game I’ve learned to appreciate the art that goes into throwing the old pigskin around and now celebrate the Grey Cup like it has religious significance. While many of you will be toasting this year’s face-off with a beer, I prefer a glass of vino or two. Taking a cue from each team’s colours (and knowing that cheesy nachos and a slice of take-out pizza will be on the menu), I went searching for a couple of similarly dressed Canadian liquids. Unfortunately, finding a pair of home and native wines that met the criteria and are carried across the country is impossible so I’ve gone international. To represent the Bombers my pick is the Schmitt Söhne 2010 Relax Riesling ($11.95 - $14.29), a fast food-friendly German white with a sweet, soft apple personality and groovy, cobalt blue bottle. To support the Lions, the orange labelled Barefoot Cellars Shiraz ($9.99 $10.99), which offers up soft, lightly spiced jammy berry fruit, works well with eclectic cuisine.

Pizzeria Libretto on the Danforth
The Danforth location of Pizzeria Libretto opened on Monday, after months of patient waiting by anxiously obsessive fans of the Neapolitan-styled joint. Don’t expect that this second location will do anything to ease getting a spot in the restaurant; instead, chances are a new crop of thin-crust lovers will emerge from the saucy depths. 550 Danforth Ave.

At Notable we’ve been anxiously awaiting the opening of CHEESEWERKS for months now, but edging in prior to its launch is new Yonge and Eglinton grilled cheesery Construction Site. Serving nothing but modern takes on everyone’s favourite childhood classic, this new spot — which opened yesterday — will have a rotating menu of updated selections. 2200 Yonge St.
Sorry ladies, this one’s for the gentlemen. Vintage collector Jonathon Hagey opened up a pop-up ‘gentlemenswear’ shop underneath Cabaret boutique on Queen West just about a week ago. The shortterm destination — it will be open for one month only — sells gentlemanly wear and accoutrements that will have any kingpin looking decidedly dapper. 672 Queen St. W.
While cacophonously named, Fork U is a ditty of an initiative that brings together some of the city’s top chefs under one roof to support Project Engagement’s Holiday Food Drive. Musik Nightclub is the destination to sample some culinary feats and fine wines on Nov. 30, where you’ll satisfy your palette while satiating your need to be charitable.
The One of a Kind Christmas Show and Sale is back and we can’t wait to get our hands on some artisan goods. This semi-annual event sees over 800 exhibitors out with their custom-made wares. Indie fashions, amazing preserves, and unique furniture and accoutrements abound at this event, on from the Nov. 24 to Dec. 1 at the Direct Energy Centre.
It’s back and ready for your ‘embrace’. The Mistletoe Ball will deck the halls at the Four Seasons Hotel on Dec. 3 in support of the Herbie Fund at Sick Kids Hospital. Imbibe in sublime bevvies while rubbing elbows with some of Toronto’s most notable tastemakers and dining on fantastic food. Live entertainment and a silent auction will ensue, with all funds raised benefiting the Herbie Fund.

SPORTS@METRONEWS.CA
Winning one-on-one battles and performing your best despite game-day jitters on the CFL’s biggest stage separates champs from chumps. Here’s a look at four areas that should decide Sunday’s 99th Grey Cup game in Vancouver. Quarterbacks Lions will win if: QB Travis Lulay, the man who should be named CFL Most Outstanding Player, maintains his composure and doesn’t get caught up in the hoopla that will surround him on home turf in his first Grey Cup appearance. The Bombers win if: Gritty QB Buck Pierce carries the Bombers on his back as he’s done so many times this season, completing remarkable passes, scrambling to avoid the oncoming pass rush and running with the ball when nothing else will work. Revenge would also be sweet for the man dumped by B.C. two years ago. Receivers The Lions will win if: Leos legend Geroy Simon and first-year Lion Arland Bruce, possibly the CFL’s most dangerous receiving tandem, find open room in the Bombers secondary as double teaming both is nearly impossible. They

combined for 10 catches and a TD in the West final. The Bombers will win if: Winnipeg never replaced Milt Stegall, but the multiple threats Clarence Denmark, Terrence Edwards and Greg Carr, provide Buck Pierce with plenty of targets. Any one could emerge as the game’s star. Running backs The Lions will win if: RB Andrew Harris can provide them with a balanced attack by posting positive yards on first down and keeping Travis Lulay out of second-and-long situations. His success keeps the Bombers defence honest. The Bombers will win if: Chris Garrett can somehow produce a performance as sensational as the East final, one of the epic games
in Blue Bombers history. If the passing game should fail, Garrett could still carry his team to victory as he did last Sunday, rushing for 190 yards in 29 carries. Defence The Lions will win if: Their tough defence can manhandle the Bombers offensive line, as they did in making Ricky Ray look very average in the West Final, and not give Pierce time to operate. That pass rush could make it a long day for the Bombers QB. The Bombers will win if: The cocky and confident group that dubbed itself Swaggerville can stop the Lions run, create some second-and-long situations, and set the stage for the secondary to come up with some big turnovers.
Jamie Benn added another two timely points for Dallas (138-0) in a 3-2 overtime win against Los Angeles on Wednesday. Benn’s third-period goal and assist brought his season total to 21. The win was the Stars’ second in a row after five-game losing streak as they look to climb back atop the Western Conference. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Suh shows aggression in loss Defensive tackle ejected as Lions fall to undefeated Packers amid slew of injuries, penalties Ndamukong Suh was on the ground, entangled with the Green Bay lineman who had blocked him down. As Suh got up, the Detroit All-Pro pinned Evan Dietrich-Smith’s head against the turf, then was pushed off of him. What happened next will only fuel the discussion about whether Suh’s aggressive play too often crosses the line. Suh stepped down hard with his right foot, appearing to make contact with Dietrich-Smith’s right arm, and the Detroit star was ejected from the Lions’ 27-15 loss to the unbeaten Packers on Thursday. As much as the Lions have accomplished this season, this was another Thanksgiving nightmare, full of injuries,

The Lions committed 11 penalties for 82 yards, including three important ones when they were in Green Bay territory early on. turnovers and undisciplined play. “I want to apologize to my teammates, my coaches and my true fans for allowing the refs to have an opportunity to take me out of this game,” Suh said. “What I did was remove myself from the situation the best way I felt, with me being held down.” Suh apologized, but the powerful defensive tackle was quick to defend himself, saying he was trying

Lions appeared to have forced Green Bay to settle for a short field goal. Instead, the Packers scored a touchdown moments later, taking a 14-0 lead on John Kuhn’s 1-yard run. It was 24-0 at the start of the fourth, and although the Lions (7-4) scored a couple late touchdowns, they lost on Thanksgiving for the eighth straight time. Detroit had a daunting enough task against the Packers (11-0). Then the Lions lost two starting defensive backs early in the game, when cornerback Chris Houston and safety Louis Delmas left with knee injuries. Cornerback Brandon McDonald was also helped off in the second half. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

51-year-old ’keeper taken for a Wild ride Rec-league goalie called in by Minnesota club scrambling for backup
Nashville’s Anders Lindback, left, chats with Minnesota’s emergency backup goalie, 51-year-old Paul Deutsch, Wednesday night in St. Paul, Minn.
Paul Deutsch’s pals in his recreational hockey league needed to find a replacement goalie Wednesday night. The 51-year-old embroidery shop owner was going to be suiting up for another team: The NHL’s Minnesota Wild. The Wild signed Deutsch to an amateur tryout contract to serve as an emergency backup to starter Josh Harding for Wednesday’s game against the Nashville Predators. “Pretty nervous and I just want to make sure I don’t do anything stupid,” Deutsch said. “Stay out of their way and do what I’m supposed to do ... and let the guys fire away.” Deutsch was signed after
Niklas Backstrom was declared out for personal reasons. Matt Hackett was recalled from Houston, but his flight wasn’t scheduled to land in the Twin Cities until about 6:30 p.m. and the Wild couldn’t risk being short a goaltender. Deutsch’s shot at playing in an NHL game ended almost as quickly as it started, though. Hackett arrived at the arena just before the 7 p.m. game time and Deutsch was scratched. But he did participate in pre-
game warmups. He watched from a suite with members of his daughter’s under-14 girl’s hockey team. Deutsch is a coach for the team and the suite was arranged long before Deutsch received a call from the Wild. “Another goaltending controversy there, if he got in there, who knows,” Wild coach Mike Yeo joked after the game. The Wild won their fifth straight game and Deutsch likely felt much more com-
fortable watching from above than at ice-level. “Told me I better be good tonight so he didn’t have to go in,” Harding said. “It was a lot of fun for him.” Deutsch last played in a competitive league in 1978 as a defenceman for Minneapolis Roosevelt High School. He is a good friend of former Wild assistant coach Mike Ramsey and has been used as a fill-in goalie at Minnesota practices. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reimer ‘10 days or so away’ Leafs coach says goalie won’t be rushed back
Gustavsson set to start against Stars on Friday night CLAUS ANDERSEN/GETTY IMAGES
How close is James Reimer to returning to the crease as the Maple Leafs starting goaltender? After partaking in his first full practice in something like a month on Thursday afternoon in Dallas, Reimer said he felt very close indeed. “For me, a couple more (practices) like this and I should be good to go,” Reimer said. But Ron Wilson, the Maple Leafs coach, cautioned that Reimer is “probably 10 days or so away” from playing in a game. “This is a process, so let’s not rush it. He’s probably 10 days or so away. This is going to be a slow process,” Wilson said. “This is the last day I’m going to talk about it until he’s ready to play. “When we want him to go in there, we want him to be 100 per cent in
“We don’t have very many quality practices for him to catch up. So he’s just got to be patient.” RON WILSON
terms of stopping the puck.” The Leafs play Boston in the second game of a home and home on Saturday, Dec. 3, and the New York Rangers the following Monday before taking on the New Jersey Devils on Dec. 6. Wilson said Jonas Gustavsson will be the Leafs’ starter when they face the Stars here at American Airlines Center on Friday night. Mikhail Grabovski, the centre currently out with a lower-body injury, practised with the club on Thursday but isn’t expected to be in the lineup for

the rest of the road trip, which continues here Friday and concludes in Anaheim on Sunday. “He’s maybe a week
away,” Wilson said of Grabovski. Wilson said Mike Brown, the fourth-line forward nursing a lower-
body injury, was sent back to Toronto to be diagnosed by one of the club’s doctors. The coach said he didn’t yet have a progno-

sis on Brown’s condition. Reimer, meanwhile, said he is anxious to get back to action. He hasn’t played since the game when his mask was knocked off in a collision with Montreal’s Brian Gionta on Oct. 22. He has been suffering what the club has called concussion-like symptoms, including a lowgrade headache. Reimer has since said those symptoms have mostly abated. “When you’re out for this long, you want to get back as soon as you can,” Reimer said. “If I got in (on Sunday in Anaheim) that would be great. If I got in on Wednesday (at home against the Bruins), that’d be great. If I could play (Friday), that’d be sweet, too. But it’s up to the coaching staff and how they feel.”

Vancouver police don’t expect riots at Grey Cup
metronews.ca WEEKEND, NOVEMBER 25-27, 2011
Vancouver police aren’t expecting a replay of any violence similar to the Stanley Cup riot as thousands of football fans converge on the city for Sunday’s Grey Cup game. Police spokesman Const. Lindsey Houghton said Thursday that for starters, there won’t be any outdoor screens for people to watch the match between the BC Lions and the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers. A report on the June riot notes the violence following the final Stanley Cup game resulted partly from tens of thousands of people watching the action between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins on giant screens installed downtown. “It’s a very different event than we saw in the Stanley Cup finals,”

ing up and this is one game on Sunday, at the end of November, not in the middle of June, that will be three hours of hopefully Travis Lulay throwing a lot of touchdown passes to Geroy Simon.” He said that police will be directing traffic as about 50,000 fans exit BC Place Stadium to ensure they get home safely.
Houghton said. The 99th Grey Cup game will be preceded by various indoor and outdoor events. Extra police officers will be stationed at those events, Houghton said. “It’s very important to note that all of the events will be shut down before the game starts on Sunday,” he said. “The Stanley Cup finals was seven games of build-
