Media Portal

is the australian media and news portals deliberately ignoring the news of more attacks on indian students?

since the first case that gained media attention, there has been 5 more attacks within the past 10 days where the victims are now in critical conditions. this month alone there has been 12 major incidents where the victims were hospitalised or their houses and cars burnt, but we have not seen a shred of news about this in the media.

people get bashed and attacked everyday, cars get torched everyday. These students seem to think these attacks are racially motivated, but im sure they just seem like easy targets to those attacking them (no to be taken offensively), seriously get over it. Now the indians are starting riots and attacking other people, they are not in frikin downtown baghdad.

Portal Cookie Cutters $14.90 At Aperture Science, there’s a good amount of joking amongst test subjects and occasionally, if you’re lucky, you can joke around Cave Johnson himself. Just do not, under any circumstances, bring his mother into the mix. Got it? No “your mom” jokes. No “Yo Mama” jokes. Not even a “That’s what she said.” Cave’s very sensitive about those. The penalty for joking about Cave’s mom? No cookies. That’s…

We Are Pilots $7.44 There’s something so apt about the band name chosen by Chad Petree and his Shiny Toy Guns playmates. Synth-driven, bright, and relentlessly safe, the plastic pop sound on We Are Pilots references the ’80s even more explicitly than the Duran Duran-loving Killers. But despite the occasional chirpy electro (most directly referenced in “Le Disko”) and the Human League makeup it’s intensely modern, clo…

Hommage A Piazzolla $7.97 Gidon Kremer, who plays the standard violin repertoire so well, has remained a restless explorer of music. Here is his first album of Piazzolla arrangements, introduced by a moving and perceptive assessment of Piazzolla by composer John Adams. Kremer has completely steeped himself in the spirit of the tango, and of Piazzolla’s transformation of this music into concert works. The selection (mostly…

Portals of Grace $9.03 Azam Ali, who was born in Iran and raised in India, also sings lead for Vas. Given her background, her attraction to Western medieval traditions (she cites the German abbess-composer Hildegard von Bingen as a major influence) makes perfect sense. After all, European early music was largely built on the Middle Eastern sounds and instruments brought home by returning crusaders. At times, Ali’s …

Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series Collection $102.99 Review of Season One: Hollywood’s film archives overflow with the carcasses of dismal movies based on lame ’60s and ’70s television shows, a syndrome that shows no sign of abating. But here’s evidence that the reverse effect, turning a movie into a TV series, can have surprisingly positive results. Indeed, based on the 21 episodes produced for the first season of Stargate SG-1, it could be ar…

Stargate (Ultimate Edition) $3.59 Before they unleashed the idiotic mayhem of Independence Day and Godzilla, the idea-stealing team of director Roland Emmerich and producer-screenwriter Dean Devlin concocted this hokey hit about the discovery of an ancient portal capable of zipping travelers to “the other side of the known universe.” James Spader plays the Egyptologist who successfully translates the Stargate’s hieroglyphic code, …

Halloweentown/ Halloweentown II – Kalabar’s Revenge $9.03 In a place called Halloweentown, good and evil look very different than one might expect. Thanks to a visit from Grandmother Aggie (Debbie Reynolds), Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown) and her family’s tradition of ignoring the Halloween holiday are about to change in the extreme. It seems that Marnie’s mother Gwen (Judith Hoag) has been hiding a big secret from her three children–all of them possess s…
