- REMINDER - Free Screening of the “Lost Boys of the Sudan” on Tuesday, January 24, 2006January 21st, 2006 by Mark
The Western New York Coalition For Progress is Proud to Host a Film Screening, Panel Discussion And Charity Event - “Lost Boys Of The Sudan” on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 at 7:30 pm at UB’s Center for the Arts.
Admission is free, but donations to Journey’s End Resettlement Services of cash or the following necessities which will be given to newly arrived refugees will be gratefully accepted: bath and dish towels, hygiene products, or cleaning supplies.
Nelson Starr, Vice President of the WNY Coalition for Progress and event co-chair, said, “The plight of Sudanese refugees has not received the attention it deserves. This documentary follows two Sudanese refugees orphaned by the civil war as they depart their war-ravaged homeland and come to live in the United States. Their tale from war and horror to the culture shock of American suburbia is extraordinary and compelling.”
A panel discussion addressing the plight of refugees from the war torn region of Darfur in the Sudan will follow the screening. Among the panelists will be Sudanese refugees residing right here in Western New York, as well as SUNY Distinguished Service Professor Dr. Claude E. Welch, Jr. Professor Welch is regarded as the preeminent scholar on African political affairs at University at Buffalo. Journey’s End Refugee Services of Buffalo is helping to organize the discussion.

- The new TV is awesome. 32 inches. It took some home improvement to get it into the entertainment stand, but after much sweat, toil, and a strained back it is in and all is good. Better in fact, everything is better: (after "optimizing" with some THX technology) the first 10 minutes of Episode III on DVD, live Premiership soccer, FIFA 2006, Star Wars: Battlefront 2, and now the hockey game, which we are losing.

- The LOTR marathon is moved up to next Saturday, at 10 AM, and it will be good, better than last year, and the perfect wrap up to my last LOTR jag for a while.

- We got ____ed. Totally ____ed. That dude totally kicked that puck into the net, but when Buffalo tries to call the video ref they couldn't get through to challenge the call and demand a review... whoops.... communication breakdown?!? ____ that. Another NHL hosing for our lads. The good news is that his game is jumping off. Let it all hang out tonight Sabres!
