"Ring ..... Ring ..... Ring .....



Good Day Readers:

This past Friday we received a recorded voice message from none other other than Senator Mike Duffy no less! We knew we were in trouble when it bagan with, "Shelly has a fantactic record ..... blah, blah, blah." It went on to identify the Saint Boniface Conservative candidate 5-more time using either "Shelly" or "Shelly Glover" ending with "Shelly est la meilleure elle traville pour la langue francsise." God his accent was terrible so much so it hurt our ears and we're not even French. For the rich benefits Senators receive, given how little most do, wonder if there's any requirement they at least be bilingual.

The message ended with another voice urging listeners to call Ms Glover noting the announcement had been authorized by her Decision Agent. It was a little garbled at the end but we thought we heard the address 662 Elizabeth Road which is Shelly Glover's Campaign Office.

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

Breaking News : Shanghaî Disneyland Special Event on April 8th ?

Apparently, an important announcement about Shanghaî Disneyland will happen on April 8th! This time, my friends, it seems to be the right one, the big final official announcement we're all waiting for! More details below from the very serious New York Times:

Disney Said to Have Cleared Hurdle for Shanghai Park

It appears that the Walt Disney Company has cleared the final hurdle in its decades-long bid to build a theme park on the Chinese mainland.

Invitations were sent late Friday to reporters for “a special event” to be held at a hotel in Shanghai on April 8. The invitation, sent jointly by Disney and a development company called the Shanghai Shendi Group, does not say more than that. A Disney spokeswoman declined to give more information.

A consultant working on the project said the company and Chinese officials would formally announce the beginning of construction on Shanghai Disneyland, which is expected to cost $3.7 billion to build and expected to open by 2016.
Disney wants to make Shanghai Disneyland into a megaresort on a par with Walt Disney World in Florida. But the initial phase will be more modest: a “Magic Kingdom-style” park with a castle surrounded by themed areas, like Tomorrow Land, two hotels, a shopping district and a lake.

The park will include replicas of well-known Disney rides, including Space Mountain and It’s a Small World, along with and new attractions based on Chinese history.
“It will be the Disney that people know but with a very strong Chinese cultural presence,” “said the consultant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid conflict with Disney."

Good Afternoon Mr. Pieuk,



A minor research project, but valuable to be sure. Pursuant to the Law Society of Manitoba Rules, the following are the requirements for a pardon:



Application for a Pardon



5-101.1(1) Subject to subsection (2), in circumstances where:



(a) a member’s conduct was censured by the Complaints Investigation Committee and the member accepted a formal caution or



(b) a discipline panel found a member guilty of professional misconduct or conduct unbecoming a lawyer or student or incompetence and imposed a reprimand or fine, with or without an order of costs, and no other order, action or penalty was imposed on the member by the discipline panel as a result of that conviction, the member may apply to the discipline committee for a pardon. (ENACTED 03/05)



Application Criteria



5-101.1(3) At the time a member makes an application under subsection (1), the following criteria must be satisfied:



(a) ten years have passed since the date of the censure or conviction



(b) since the date of the censure or conviction the member has not accepted any other formal cautions and has not been found guilty of any other charges of professional misconduct, conduct unbecoming a lawyer or student or incompetence



(c) there are no charges pending against the member



(d) there are no complaints about the member under investigation



(e) the member has paid the society all money owing by the member to the society and



(f) a discipline panel has not granted any previous application by the member under this rule.



Basically, behave for a decade (and/or fly under the radar) and you can apply to have your reprimand erased. However, considering how many lawyers have been disciplined, there are very few pardons. Perhaps the LSM should take this as an indication that the current state of punishment of the membership is insufficient as they cannot manage to behave for a decade post reprimand?



Still disgusted by the legal community of Manitoba, I remain…



Veritas Justitias Honoris


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Dear VJH:



On behalf of the readership thank you so much for your excellent research! As we sat listening to Chair Heather Leonoff's pre-sentencing preamble, who by the way is Director of Justice Manitoba's Constitutional Branch, we became a tad suspicious as she, in our opinion, over focused/rambled on about the severity of a reprimand. Couldn't help but wonder if it was tantamount to a pardonable conviction for simple marijuana possession.



We also wondered about her statement to the effect Mr. King had not re-offended since the original incident in 2003. Problem for us is back then half of Winnipeg's legal community seemed to be aware of the Douglas-King-Chapman debacle save for the LSM. Perhaps Ms Leonoff might have been wise to preface her remarks by saying something like, "To the best of our knowledge ..... ."



Given there have been very few pardons this would seem to suggest a reprimand with its 10-year timeline is a contradiction in terms much like the oxymoron "an honest lawyer" or what about, "Trust me I'm a lawyer."



Sincerely,

Clare L. Pieuk

Important warning to my D&M friends ( and to the rest of the world )

You will find below a POTC 4 Featurette but what is coming now is definitely a NON Disney topic. Don't go away right now as what i will talk about is really serious - and it's also NOT an April fools!

You know me as a Disney specialist and for sure i am one but there is other subjects that i know also extremely well. For instance i'm a big David Lean movies specialist and even filmed documentaries on some of Lean's most famous movies like Lawrence of Arabia or Bridge on the River Kwai. As a matter of fact i'm probably the last person on Earth who knows the exact - and beautiful - locations where these two legendary movies were filmed!

But that's not the point today as this week-end something potentially extremely explosive is going to happen. You see, among all my specialties there is one that i know really well and it's all about Astrology. For most of the people who have never study it astrology is generally a bad joke, and i can't blame them to think that as what is published each week in the magazines Horoscope section IS indeed a bad joke. 98% of them is just bullshit, there is no other way to describe it.

The problem is that astrology has nothing to see with all this and it's an extremely complex science/art (call it whatever you want) which really works - god knows why and how, but it works. And it's someone who have more than 30 years of observation / experiment behind him who is telling you this. The usual big mistake that almost anyone does about astrology is to think that it's going to tell you WHAT will happen. But that's not how it works. Most of the time astrology is telling us WHY things happen at the time they happen but not WHAT is going to happen. It would be too simple, right? In fact it all depends on the planets position in an astral theme and there is as many different astral themes as there is human beings on this planet, so you'll understand the complexity.

That said, sometime there is what is called a "conjunction" of planets which creates such a potentially explosive situation that it can affect really a lot of people. For instance since the last three months we have a conjunction between Uranus and what is called the "Black Moon" and this is what has created the revolutions in the Middle East. Don't get me wrong, the reason why it happened is mainly because the people were living under autocratic regimes but the reason WHY it happened NOW - and not 2 years before or after - is because of this Uranus - Black Moon conjunction.

Uranus is in essence the revolution (whether it's people revolution or a technological revolution, anything which breaks the rules) and the Black Moon (which also has to see with our part of animality) is, her, in the "all or nothing at all" logic. When both are allied it creates what we can see in arab countries, i.e people who no only stands for a revolution (in this case asking for democracy or a change of regime) but also who are ready to fight to the end, if necessary (and generally it is necessary).

Another example which will lead us to what i want to tell you: the same Uranus who was since six years in the sign of Pisces entered the sign of Aries last month. By doing so he is now doing what is called a "quadrature" with Pluto which is at the beginning of the Capricorn (because both are at a 90 degrees angle). Uranus, as i said, creates the revolutions but is also the master of the unpredictable (and generally, most of the time, it brings unpredictable bad news!). Pluto, in the mythology is the lord of the underworld, the keeper of hidden treasures and powers and, as his name indicates, Pluto is also in relation with nuclear power. When you have a quadrature between Uranus and Pluto it's a very explosive situation. Now, Uranus entered the sign of Aries on March 11, will stay in the sign many years, and the least we can say is that he did a spectacular entrance as on March 11 we had: a major 9.0 earthquake, a devastating tsunami AND the beginning of a major nuclear catastrophe. The sign of Aries is ruled by Mars, which is the "master" of the sign and, as we know the lord of war. One week after Uranus entered in Aries and the dramatic events in Japan, Europe and the U.S entered in war with Lybia. Okay, it's a half-war, but it's a war anyway.

And now, here comes the important warning. Additionally to the entrance of Uranus in Aries we have, also in the same sign, Jupiter - quite a protective planet normally when it doesn't have bad aspects with others planets, which unfortunately is the case here as Jupiter is also in a quadrature with Pluto in Capricorn. We have also the Black Moon which entered in Aries at the end of March. BUT, in addition to this (which is already explosive) Mars, master of the sign, will enter this saturday in Aries AND the Moon will also be in Aries for 2-3 days starting saturday evening. As we are early April this means that the Sun is naturally in Aries.

In two words we're going to have the next four days a conjunction Sun - Moon - Mars - Uranus - Black Moon - Jupiter all together in Aries. All of them will be in quadrature with Pluto in Capricorn and also opposite with Saturn, now in Libra, during all next week. But the "epicenter" (if i can say) of the conjunction, the most dangerous time will be between this saturday and next tuesday. You have to understand that such a conjunction is extremely rare and i warn all of you who are born in the first week of Capricorn (last ten days of December), or at the beginning of Libra (last ten days of September) or the beginning of Cancer (last ten days of June) to be extremely cautious in the next days and week because of the quadrature/opposite aspects these planets will do with these astrological signs.

As usual it's impossible to say from where the knock will come but beware of any agressive situation (and you might also be the one who can be agressive) or violent conflicts or any kind of accident (Mars is often responsible of car accidents but also with anything related with fire) and also be careful with electricity (because of Uranus which has to see with problems with electricity). No need to say that the warning is even more important for those of you who are born in Aries (last ten days of March) and SPECIALLY those of you born between the 20 and the 24 of March.

To be perfectly clear it's what we call "the perfect storm" and if you want to know if this conjunction of planets can have an effect on the rest of the world, yes it does. There is everything in place for anything explosive and destructive in this world whether it's riots and carnage or in the true meaning of the terms. And i really pray that our Japanese friends will not have a second service of another major catastrophe. Keep an eye also on Fukhushima nuclear plant as the quadrature Uranus-Pluto is unfortunately here to stay and not only for one month but for many years - which means that explosive revolutions (in all meaning of the terms) are here to stay for quite a while...

Some of you who have read this topic until this last paragraph might think that i'm totally insane, but believe me i'm not. And i wouldn't have take the hour it took to me to write all this if there was nothing really serious, would I? Whether you believe me or not, just give me the "benefit of the doubt" for the next days or weeks. Who knows, it might save your life.
