In Reply to: Re: I hate school posted by Spratley on Monday, February 03, 2003 at 20:08:45 :
: : I'm going to sound like a complete naive, sixth-form-poetry cunt here but i really care so much about philosophy and nothing about my schoolwork anymore. Which means im just going to end up in some factory job with no time to think about life at all. Hmm
: -----------------------
: I have been struck time and time again (I am 28) by how when I was your age I bleeived that live was a track. You get on it or you derail. You had to do things now because if you didn't you'd be screwed up further down the line. You had to do well in school and join clubs and play sports so that you could get into a good college. Because without a good college, you couldn;t get a good job. And without a good Job you'd nevber get a better job. . .
: Well, that's shit. This world gives many more second chances that society will have you believe. When I was a teenager I thought it was a foregone conclusion that I'd go to college. I know popele who didn't go to college and have better jobs than me.
: The reason you hate school is the same reason that you believe that if you hate school now you'll be screwed in the future --because of the things the culture you live in tells you. School is an indoctrination camp, teaching you how to live like a good little ant in this culture. You don't learn anything good becasue the point of school is not to learn good things, its to learn how to learn, how to shut up and listen and then repeat things back. They don't want you to learn good things, they want you to momorize the basic thngs. And they want you to beleive that the good boys and girls will do this willingly, gladly.
: So when someone like you comes along and realizes that they're not learning anything worthwhile, and that they hate school, they are made to believe that hating school is somehow irreversibly damaging to one's chances in life. Why? Becasue our culture beleives that there is one right way to be, and if you're not that way then you are wrong, and being wrong is just about the worst thing to be. People get slaughtered for being wrong, they get ostracized, they get beaten down until they kill themselves for feeling out of place. They get pushed down and squeezed out. But thre are safe places in this world. The trick is to find them.
: You don't need geometry. We could learn geometry in a month if we chose to be carpenters --there's no reason all of us need to know that. But we learn it becasue they have to teac hus something or else let us out of school. And if they let us out of school we'd be on the streets with nothing to do. A hundred years ago peopel your age had careers already started. 100 years ago peop lonly stayed in school till they were 12 or so. 150 years ago people stayed in school until they were 12. Why has it changed? Because population has gone up. If they can't fit us into the work force, then they need to keep us busy somewhere else. School is the best place. So, where very few used to go to college, now just about everyone does. Some people stay in school until they're my age. Where once a 17 year old was considered a full adult, could live on their own, drink and hava family, now 21 year olds are still emotionally immature and ireesponsible. Childhood is prolonged becasue they don't have room for us as adults yet.
: My advice? Play the game of going to school, but use it as a disguise. Become a man in secret, but play the child so they don;tcatch on.

Have you participated in a State Department-sponsored exchange program? Stay connected. Do you teach English abroad? We have free resources to help. Do you want to engage in citizen diplomacy? One of these new websites holds the information you need to get you started.
After extensive research and planning, five of ECA's websites have been given a sleek redesign in order to better serve our audiences. The launch includes five distinct new websites, each uniquely designed to provide people around the globe with the information they need to engage in citizen diplomacy and English teaching/learning activities. The redesigned sites allow Americans and foreign audiences to easily discover how they can be a part of the Department's academic, cultural, sports, youth, professional, or private sector exchanges.
International Exchange Alumni, American English, Exchanges, J-1, and ECA's Bureau site are all now mobile-friendly; feature multimedia and digital story-telling; integrate social media; and illustrate the impact of international exchanges through infographics.
Alumni.state.gov -- The International Exchange Alumni networking website offers professional resources for all past and current participants of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to build upon their exchange experience. The new layout and social media integration encourage community interaction between the more than 100,000 current members. The new "public features" section shares alumni achievements with a global audience, and a project section allows members to build and share collaborative projects.
Exchanges.state.gov -- Our Exchanges website is now divided into U.S. Citizen and non-U.S. Citizen sections to better sort information for our audiences. Now, it's easier to find programs and application details, participant stories, and rich multimedia content. Please review the alphabetical list of programs for U.S. and non-U.S. citizens to familiarize yourself and update the ECA program links that you use.
Eca.state.gov -- The ECA website explains the Bureau as an institution and offers data on the impact of ECA programs, resources for the press, and information for grantees.
Americanenglish.state.gov -- The American English website offers engaging materials and resources for English teachers' professional development and for students inside and outside the classroom. The free collaborative Trace Effects video game helps students learn English and explore American culture through puzzles, games, and adventures in an interactive world.
J1visa.state.gov -- This website hosts J-1 Visa information for participants, program sponsors, host families, and employers. Rules and regulations are easily-accessible and written in plain English. A mobile-friendly, streamlined layout anticipates user needs and makes their search easier.
The redesign responds to U.S. Government and State Department initiatives -- including 21st Century Statecraft and Digital Government -- that call for transparency and greater access to information and data via government websites.

City Council Adopts Updated Design Guidelines and Zoning
Project Overview:
The City of Arvada has updated the Design Guidelines and zoning for Olde Town Arvada. In 1998 the Arvada Downtown Historic District was established and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Subsequently, in 2004, the Design Guidelines for Olde Town were adopted and a process overseeing development in the district and surrounding conservation area were developed.
Anticipation of the arrival of commuter rail and the location of a transit station in the heart of Olde Town resulted in the adoption of the Arvada Transit Framework Plan in 2007. Plan implementation strategies included the exploration of amendments to the Design Guidelines for Olde Town Arvada. These amendments would be supportive of development that is both sensitive to maintaining the character of the Downtown Arvada Historic District and the character of a transit oriented development. In addition, several years of work with the Design Guidelines have identified the need to update and reorganize the adopted document.
Scope of Study Area:
The project area includes all of the lands within the Arvada Downtown Historic District, the Olde Town Conservation Area, and the portion of the Olde Town Station Area Plan designated as "Mixed-Use Olde Town."
The Planning Approach:
An essential component of the study involved the community's assistance in framing a future vision for the Olde Town area. The City conducted community workshops to solicit input from the business community, residents and neighbors. The workshops focused on analyzing the physical opportunities and constraints, building height policies, preservation policies, a proposed draft of the updated guidelines, potential rezoning of the area and defining the "Grand View" from Olde Town. Following all of the input received from the community, a final draft of the design guidelines has been prepared. In order to implement these guidelines, amendments to the City's Land Development Code have also been prepared. These amendments are centered around the creation of the Olde Town Zoning District. The new zoning district will replace the existing zoning which is primarily B-3 (Central Business). This zoning district is to be comprised of seven sub-districts which are designed to reflect the underlying character of the unique pockets of the Olde Town area. For example, the residential pockets on the east side of Yukon Street and in the Grant Place block have a very different character from the Olde Town commercial core along Wadsworth Boulevard and Grandview Avenue. The new zoning recognizes and celebrates these differences. Properties within the Olde Town area will be rezoned into one of the seven sub-districts as reflected below. (Click on image for larger version)
Generally, the uses you have today will still be allowed. The Olde Town area as a whole is proposed to remain a mixed use area, while the code will refine the location of permitted uses to reflect the appropriate character of each sub-district. Development standards in the proposed code will be form based and will focus primarily on a structure's physical form in order achieve the urban form desired for the Olde Town area. Form-based codes address the relationship between building facades and the public realm, and the form and the mass of buildings in relation to one another.
On December 18, 2012 the Arvada Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed guidelines, code amendments and property rezonings. In response to concerns raised by property owners, staff recommended that the OT-RR Subdistrict boundary be modified to exclude the residentially zoned properties and that the allowed uses in the OT-RN Subdistrict be revised to include "eating & drinking establishments" excluding "fast food restaurants with drive-thru" . Planning Commission made a recommendation of adoption to City Council. Staff is recommending an additional change which would increase the overall allowable building width along the Park, allow a 5 story accent (encroachment) within the 10-25' setback along the Park and Ralston Road, and increase the width of building frontage allowed within the 5-10' setback along the Park. A typo regarding the number of feet that results in a two story structure has been corrected as well as removing the footnote disallowing the vertical accent along the Park. These changes are reflected on pages 23-24 of the proposed amendments to Article 6 of the Land Development Code. On February 4, 2013, City Council unanimously adopted the updated Design Guidelines, the Land Development Code Amendments and the rezoning of the Olde Town properties.

Ron Guth: The 1858-O Half Dime is the most common of the O-Mint Half Dimes, just edging out the 1860-O. Mint State examples are fairly common, with MS-63 and MS-64 being the most frequently encountered grades. PCGS has certified only a dozen MS65, four MS-66s, one MS66+, and none finer.
Most of the top examples are well struck, but virtually all show slight weakness on the reverse denticles from 12:30 to 2:00. Overall, however, the 1858-O Half Dime is a fine product from the New Orleans Mint.

Airline Industry

Val Meredith South Surrey—White Rock—Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Transport thinks he can protect Canadians from Air Canada if he is provided with more regulatory powers. I hate to disillusion the minister but there is a better way.
The Canadian airline industry is in its current predicament because previous government regulations did not provide healthy competition. Last fall the competition commissioner stated that the best way to protect the Canadian travelling public was by fostering competition.
While the minister wants to cast himself as the white knight doing battle with a dominant Air Canada, the solution is much simpler. Ensure that Canadians have a choice. If the minister is truly concerned about the Canadian consumer, he will take the necessary steps to foster competition in the airline industry and give Canadians the power to regulate the industry themselves by exercising their right to choose.

Marcel Proulx Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, Nycole Turmel was elected president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada to replace Darryl Bean, who is leaving the position after over 15 years of devoted service to his members.
With the support of a large majority of delegates to the triennial congress of the Alliance, Ms. Turmel is not only the first women to hold the position, but the first francophone as well. Before her election as president, Ms. Turmel had been the vice-president of the Alliance for nine years.
I would like today to congratulate Ms. Turmel on her election to the presidency of the Public Service Alliance of Canada and wish her every success in her new duties.
Premier Of Newfoundland
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Réal Ménard Hochelaga—Maisonneuve, QC
Mr. Speaker, Premier Brian Tobin of Newfoundland shamelessly broke the provincial consensus on health care by saying that he had no objection to Ottawa's having a say on the management of the health care system in the provinces. Captain Canada even tried to catch two other maritime premiers in his net.
Facing serious shortages of resources in health care, the provinces have for months been asking the federal government to return its transfer payments to 1995 levels. Ottawa claims that it is keeping this money so it can have its say in health care.
But we know, perfectly well why Brian Tobin is behaving this way. Captain Canada is working on a double play. On the one hand he is playing the role of courtier and indefatigable ally of the Prime Minister of Canada and on the other as the increasingly unsteady pretender to the throne of Prime Minister, he is trying to weaken the position of the provinces on the health issue in an effort to prepare the place he hopes to occupy soon.
We are not fooled by Captain Canada's double play. Mark my words.

Réginald Bélair Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, forestry has been the mainstay in the lives of a vast number of residents in the Timmins—James Bay riding. The forest industry has created close to 4,000 jobs in the riding and has helped establish dynamic communities like Kapuskasing, Smooth Rock Falls, Hearst and Timmins.
This week we are celebrating National Forest Week. It is a time to reflect on the vital role forests play in our daily lives, as well as their significant benefits. We are also celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Forestry Association, a federation which has been dedicated to the wise use and conservation of our forests.
As Canadians we must continue to be persistent in preserving the health and vitality of our forests since they are equally important to the health of the local, national and global environments.
We have a duty to protect that wealth, so that our forests can continue to meet the social, economic and environmental needs of future generations.
St. John's West Byelection
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jim Abbott Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, the current byelection in St. John's West gives Newfoundlanders the opportunity to strengthen the new voice in parliament, the Canadian Alliance. This new and exciting movement is positively changing the face of politics in Canada. Concerned citizens in St. John's and Placentia have told me they are voting for change. They are sick and tired of the games that the Liberals and Tories play.
The Liberals are trying to resurrect their candidate's floundering campaign by pumping millions of dollars of public money into St. John's for the election.
They have seen it all before when John Crosbie ruled the roost for the Conservatives. They are demanding a change. They are all voting for Frank Hall, the Canadian Alliance candidate, to send a message to Ottawa. He will be joining 57 dedicated members of Canada's official opposition, Canada's government in waiting.
Newfoundlanders are going to start a saltwater wave that will sweep from the east coast across Canada and will remove the old parties and tired old politics.
Congratulations, Newfoundland. You are leading the way with Canadian Alliance.

Christine Stewart Northumberland, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge today the presence in Ottawa of the Environmental Audit Committee, the newest scrutiny committee of the British House of Commons. Its purpose is to assess the contribution of all government activity to progress on sustainable development and to audit the government's performance against relevant targets such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The committee has come to Canada to discuss our unique system of departmental strategies and to meet with the office of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development.
I had the chance to meet with these MPs last evening. I welcome them here in Canada and hope that this is just the beginning of a fruitful dialogue between our respective governments.
The members of parliament here today are Chairman John Horam, Helen Brinton, Neil Gerrard, Dominic Grieve, Jon Owen Jones, Paul Keetch, Tim Loughton, Christine Russell, Malcolm Savage, Jonathan Shaw, Simon Thomas, and Mrs. Joan Walley. Welcome all.

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, this year alone Newfoundland and Labrador will take in more than $20 million in royalties from the long awaited Hibernia oil and gas project, a full $8 million more than what was originally projected.
With that kind of news one would think the people of Newfoundland and Labrador would be overjoyed. But they know that this Liberal government and the previous Conservative government adopted policies that increase rather than help to eliminate regional disparities across the country.
Equalization is supposed to help the seven have not provinces catch up, not keep them down. But today, because the government claws back 70%, each royalty dollar is worth a mere 30 cents.
That is why the federal NDP supports amending the equalization program to increase the amount of money that have not provinces are allowed to keep.
Under this government, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador continues to be resource rich but royalty poor.
Forest Biodiversity

Jocelyne Girard-Bujold Jonquière, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate Nathalie Perron and Marc Plante, who are both residents of my region, for being recognized under the Forest Stewardship Recognition Program of Wildlife Habitat Canada.
That program seeks to recognize the concrete actions taken by people to support forest stewardship and the conservation of forest biodiversity.
In a world whose fauna and flora are increasingly threatened, it is important to change our forestry operations, to make the best decisions and to use proven ways to manage and conserve forests.
Nathalie and Marc were rewarded for organizing two forestry-wildlife forums held in Jonquière, in 1997 and 1999. These two events allowed participants to review the latest information on the impact of forestry operations on wildlife and its habitat, in addition to promoting innovative practices to protect forest biodiversity.
Bravo and congratulations to Nathalie and Marc. Continue your excellent work for sustainable development.

Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the hockey team les Cantonniers de Magog, following their spectacular victory at the Air Canada Cup tournament, held in Montreal in late April.
This is a first national Midget AAA title for the team. These young players deserve recognition for showing discipline, determination and remarkable talent throughout the season. Their efforts paid off, since they are now the best midget hockey team in Canada.
I wish to mention the work of coach Mario Durocher, who led his team like a true leader, and of all the others who contributed to the success of les Cantonniers.
Congratulations to les Cantonniers. The residents of Brome—Missisquoi are very proud of you.

Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to draw the attention of hon. members to Manitoba's 130th birthday on Friday, May 12. As Manitoba celebrates its first birthday of the millennium, it is an appropriate occasion to reflect on our beautiful province and our people.
Manitobans are people of tremendous perseverance who do not give up in the face of adversity. Throughout our history Manitobans have come together to build, to share and to dream of a better future for our children. We have witnessed and overcome many challenges of our time, such as the Great Depression, floods, storms and drought. On Manitoba Day it is especially important that we salute all Manitobans for their strength, determination and hard work that has given us our greatest successes and our greatest achievements.
The people of Manitoba can congratulate themselves for living in a province of economic prosperity, social diversity and cultural richness.
Happy birthday, Manitoba.

Mr. Speaker, as part of the celebrations marking international youth week the Government of Canada is supporting a number of diverse locally sponsored events to acknowledge the many contributions our young men and women make to the country.
I especially wish to share with the House that under the aboriginal human resources development strategy, the government is contributing nearly $1 million to assist aboriginal youth in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in their efforts to fulfill their educational potential and gain access to meaningful employment. As well the youth employment strategy earmarks another $25 million annually to first nations and Inuit organizations across the country to deliver a host of youth initiatives. These programs give youth valuable work experience and skills training through summer employment, science and technology camps, community service, entrepreneurship and internships.
In collaboration with our provincial, territorial and aboriginal partners—

Jake Hoeppner Portage—Lisgar, MB
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday a constituent was told he would end up dead, like murdered RCMP decode agent John McKay.
In 1998 I requested an independent judicial investigation into operation decode. The RCMP operation involving liquor and tobacco smuggling resulted in a highly paid dead RCMP agent, internal leaks from D Division to the target's lawyer, death threats, missing evidence, and conflicting testimony of RCMP officers in court. The most astounding action was when the RCMP stayed an arrest warrant against the Americans supplying the contraband because one of the witnesses was dead and they could not find their paid agent.
No wonder other countries claim Canada is a safe haven for criminals. How many more people will have to die before the government takes action and orders an independent investigation into operation decode?

Caroline St-Hilaire Longueuil, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to draw the attention of the House today to the election of Nycole Turmel as the first woman president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
Ms. Turmel, a native of Quebec, was elected on the first ballot with a very comfortable majority. As well as being the first female president in the 34 years of PSAC's existence, she is the second francophone to hold the position. The 140,000-member Public Service Alliance of Canada is the main federal public service union.
Nycole Turmel has been active in her union since 1979 and on its executive since 1991. She distinguished herself through her extensive knowledge of the issues she was involved in defending.
I had the good fortune to come to know her and to work along with her on the pay equity issue, which culminated in a great victory for 200,000 federal public servants. This energetic and warm woman has announced that her presidency will be open, transparent and accountable.
I wish to express my personal sincere congratulations, as well as those of the Bloc Quebecois, and our best wishes for success.

Mr. Speaker, the veterans affairs minister's worst fears have been realized. ACOA has already become the Atlantic Canada overblown agency.
Let us look at who got some cash: the Royal Bank, Canada Packers, Bombardier, Irving Pulp and Paper, CP hotels, IBM, General Dynamics Corp. and McCain Foods. These are not exactly small fries.
Why is taxpayer money being used to subsidize these massively profitable corporations?

I'm using it in a rock/pop band in very big venues at very loud monitoring levels (with a high risk of getting feedback). I mainly play hard strumming.
I'm thinking about the M1 (actually Takamine tri-ax), the Anthem or the Anthem SL.
I'm also wondering if i can take any advantage of the guitar built in system. Wood worth it mixing both signals. How?
Which system do you think is better? And which is more feedback resistant?
Thanks and sorry for my English. I'm from Argentina.

December 2010: How Is Your Crohn's Today?
Hello everyone! How are you today? For those of you who are new to the blog, every now and then I like to check in to hear how you are doing and how your Crohn's is holding up. You can write a comment letting us know how you are getting along or updating us with your current status.
I have not had very good luck at all this year with my Crohn's. I have pretty much been battling it since January 1 and I am looking forward to the New Year! I am hoping that this is just a bad year and everything will calm down in 2011. It was really weird: January 1, 2010, I became sick and I have been fighting to get healthy ever since.
Typically, November to January is a hectic and stressful time of year, and I am usually worn out by the time Christmas comes. This year, I had a sinus and urinary tract infection on top of everything else! For Thanksgiving, we traveled to Atlanta to spend time with my family, and even though it was great seeing them, I think that the trip further weakened my system. Plus, my new position at work has been very intense, and I ended up working most of the vacation and 12- to 14-hour days ever since. Luckily, I got a little reprieve from work this past weekend and have some much needed down time.
A couple of weeks ago, my Crohn's reared its ugly head in a big way — ertothema nodosum on my thigh and another small nodule developing on my shin. This is never a good sign and always means an increase of the prednisone to at least 35 mg. The doctor told me on Tuesday that I had to go all the way back up to 40mg. I started the year at 40mg and have worked really hard all year to wean myself down (I managed to get to 16mg) and now I have to start all over again — bummer! I was pretty depressed about it all, especially on my birthday (Monday) when I wanted to celebrate and have fun but felt too tired and sick to do anything. Plus, I started to think of the future; all of my fears started pouring in, making me anxious and nervous — as well as trapped and hopeless.
But, I can't let myself think that way and neither can you. It really does no good. I had my little pity party; I cried to myself in the bathtub; I asked 'Why me?'; and now I have gotten over it and must move on. Feeling sorry for yourself is okay every now and then, but you cannot dwell on it because the only thing you get in return is suffering. There is nothing that I can do except try my best and keep a positive attitude. When a negative thought comes in, I just push it back out again and keep myself focused on the present. If I let myself, I am sure that I could easily slip into that dark place where there is no hope, but I will not allow myself to dwell there long. I will not allow the darkness in, and I will keep fighting this battle. We have to keep going, keep positive and live the best we can. Besides, like I wrote in one of my past blogs, life with Crohn's is like a sine wave, forever moving up and down.
I hope that you are doing well and that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Take care,
Kelly R

About the Author: Alberto Rodriguez serves as Spokesperson at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan.
During a ceremony held today, January 11, 2011, in Peshawar, officials from the government of Khyber Pakhtunkwa (KPk) and the United States marked the success of their partnership in providing high-quality wheat seeds to flood-affected farmers across the nation. The $62 million Agricultural Recovery Program includes $21 million dollars for KPk alone to help the province's farmers recover from the floods of last summer.
The program distributed seed packages to households throughout the country just in time for planting the Rabi crop. If the farmers had not received seeds this fall, there would have been no wheat crop in 2011, depriving rural communities of their staple food and leaving many families in danger of poverty and hunger.
It also includes cash-for-work projects to clean and repair irrigation systems and provides farmers with much-needed vegetable seeds to quickly boost family nutrition. The program also provides supplementary feed and veterinary support for livestock to prevent disease outbreaks and offers overall support to ensure the agricultural health of KPk after the floods.
The program is a joint effort between the government of KPk and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and is being implemented by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The Provincial Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Settlement Authority (PaRRSA) and the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) identified villages and union councils in order to arrange the seed distribution, and worked tirelessly in the districts to train farmers and ensure efficient distribution.
"Over 1.3 million rural farming people have been provided food security as a result of this crucial program," stated Ambassador Robin Raphel, the U.S. Coordinator for Economic and Development Assistance in Pakistan. "We are pleased to be able to help the Government of Pakistan provide these essential commodities to its citizens."
USAID's continued partnership with the government of Pakistan will help revitalize KPk's agricultural resources and restore economic activity across the flood-affected areas of the province.

I think there is more than knowing that you do not know. But once again time to think about new possibilities to consider.
I think the conclusions of the flood. Mourning for casualties and quick recovery and support for recovery, if you fight, for a stable investment, many people think is not to worry.

Lehman slavery talk
Friday, October 14, 2011
Christopher Lehman, author and professor of ethnic studies, is a major contribuor to the African-American historical canon.
Christoper Lehman will present "Slavery in Minnesota?" 5 p.m. Oct. 24 in Atwood Theater.
The talk, which is sponsored by the Multicultural Resource Center, will draw on Lehman's 2011 book "Slavery in the Upper Mississippi Valley, 1787-1865."
The talk is free and open to the public. Parking is free on street adjacent to campus and a dollar per hour in the Fourth Avenue Parking Ramp. View the event flyer (PDF).
"Slavery in the Upper Mississippi Valley" documents the persistence of slavery in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin through the end of the Civil War.
Although African American slavery was banned in the region in 1787, slaves were held here by soldiers and federal officials. Among his research findings: Details on Mary Butler and other slaves who lived in St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids in the mid-19th century.
Lehman's previous books, "A Critical History of Soul Train on Television," "The Colored Cartoon: Black Representation in American Animated Short Films" and "American Animated Cartoons of the Vietnam Era" drew national reviews and media coverage.
"The Colored Cartoon" was honored by the Association of College and Research Libraries as an outstanding academic title in 2008. View Lehman's Amazon page.
Last summer Lehman was a Summer Visiting Fellow at Harvard University's W.E.B. DuBois Institute for African and African American Research through the National Endowment for the Humanities.
A professor of ethnic studies, Lehman coordinates the university's African American Studies minor at St. Cloud State and is the former faculty adviser for the Council of African American Students on campus.
He holds a bachelor's degree in history from Oklahoma State University. He earned his advanced degrees at University of Massachusetts Amherst: a master's in history and doctorate in African American studies.

Keep your favorite tools at the ready
If you�re looking for a great way to store cordless drills, check out the rack designed by Club member Joey Herndon of Thomasville, Georgia. He used 7-in. lengths of 3-in.-dia. PVC pipe mounted to wedge-shape scrap 2x4 blocks to create individual drill holsters. He mounted the holsters to a storage shelf that he fastened to the underside of one of his shop cabinets. The shelf provides space for the drills� battery chargers, and the holsters keep the drills organized within easy reach.

Jeppesen, Honeywell Launch iPad-Based Flight Deck Updates
Jeppesen and Honeywell on Wednesday announced an avionics industry first at the European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE); cloud-based wireless flight deck avionics updates via Apple's iPad.
The integrated navigation data service (INDS) iPad solution has initial functionality for operators of the Pilatus PC-12 next generation (NG) turboprop aircraft.
According to Jeppesen, the iPad app loads flight data to onboard Honeywell avionics through a remote connection. The wireless updates are available for the Honeywell Primus Apex Integrated Flight Deck when paired with the Aspen Avionics CG-100 connected panel.
"Eliminating manual loading of flight data onboard through use of the iPad app allows for completion of a quicker pre-flight routine, all through a few taps of a finger onscreen. Now the update process is as advanced as the Primus Apex system it supports," said Scott Reagan, director of client management at Jeppesen.
The two companies developed the INDS iPad app with the goal of providing a suite of worldwide navigation information for Honeywell's Primus Epic platform. Wireless updates using the iPad also takes advantage of the current trend of operators deploying paperless cockpits.
Currently, the wireless updates are only available for PC-12 NG operators, no plans have been discussed yet to launch functionality for other aircraft that feature the Primus Epic avionics system.
"With the recent proliferation of tablets, our customers are increasingly using portable devices for a range of flight planning tasks. We are using these changing patterns to bring affordable wireless capabilities and iPad solutions to market that put the information they need most literally at their fingertips," said Victor Valente, vice president of business and general aviation EMEAI at Honeywell.
The new iPad app is expected to be operational later this year.

In short: Shame scenery doesn't match the City's reputationDate of review: October 8, 2013
Date of review: April 6, 2013
In short: great crowdIn full: crowds were greatDate of review: April 6, 2013
In short: Good busy event, but poor value for moneyIn full: Good event definately worth trying, but too many people in the available space & queues.Shocked to find that despite £39 entry, all the finishers T-shirts were 'Large only'. To small for me & too big for my wife.Date of review: March 22, 2013
In short: Nice raceIn full: My first 1/2 marathon. Felt friendly and well organised.Felt the course was very boring considering the beauty of Bath. I guess it's a trade off between that and quite a hilly course.Date of review: March 14, 2013
In short: Great atmosphere, crowds all the way round. Better organised than previous years.In full: Freezing cold day but great to see so many spectators out supporting which was very uplifting. Couple of problems to overcome for future races; why have all T shirts in Large; far too big even for large people. Long slow queues for baggage post race. It was freezing so waiting this long wasn't good. This race is overpriced and doesn't represent great value, I've run far better halfs for less than half the price. I think the organizers are a bit greedy and taking too much money and allowing too many entries, it's a very crowded race but I suppose this adds to the atmosphere but potentially affects your pb opportunity if you get stuck behind a crowd.Date of review: March 12, 2013
In short: Well Organised, a Bit Early in the Year!In full: Ran this race during 2012. Very well organised, a train is specially put on to transport people to this, and you are directed from the station to the event. Baggage is guarded by soldiers, organised starting positions, plenty of portaloos. Two laps of the city, and despite what some may say, it's not flat, there are a few hills! Great support on the way round, the 131 Commando Regiment who were also running persuaded me to try harder. The little hill after the bridge over the river turned my legs to jelly after ten miles, but people persuaded me to carry on. The final stretch is covered by three video cameras, so give the final 100 yards everything you have left! Medal presentation at the end, you can purchase a plaque with your name and time to add to it. Only fault with this race, too early in the year!!! I don't like taking long distance training runs in January and February in the snow and ice! Not only that it's too dark in the evenings for the mid week races! Did this the once, enjoyed it but have no plans to do it again, as I didn't enjoy training for it. Date of review: March 12, 2013
In short: Great crowd support but course quite dull and far too expensive.Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Well organised, good course, but a bit pricey.Date of review: March 10, 2013
In short: Love Bath, love the crowds, good for a PBIn full: I live in Bath and so I'm a little bias! The organisation was really good, it is well signposted to the runners village, lots of facilities, good entertainment coverage on the route. I never noticed the mile markers but I know the route so I didn't really need them. The course follows the main road in and out of Bath (towards Bristol) so not the prettiest in Bath and you don't take in the sites en route but you can enjoy all that Bath offers after the race!! I was in the white section but must admit there were many runners in this section which were much slower and perhaps shouldn't have been in there. It made it a little tricky at the start where I would have expected to go out fast but instead had to duck and dive around lots of people! Lots of drink stations, jelly babies littered the streets afterwards and a nice goody bag to follow. I like the medal and the fact you are sent you name and time to stick on it afterwards which is a nice memento especially if you get your PB which I managed to. The t-shirt is a tent though. It's a size large, but seriously it's wide enough to fit two of me in there!! Date of review: March 9, 2013

Date of review: February 7, 2014
In short: Another Cracker!In full: Another great race, in a pocket of perfect racing conditions. A late change of route due to a flooded course, all credit to the club and organisers for keeping the race on. A PB for me so well happy...see you next year!Date of review: February 7, 2014
In short: Another fine race put on by Nice Work.In full: Considering the recent wet weather, what a great effort from the organisers to get this race on in a slightly different format. It actually made a nice change to try a different route, although it was still testing. Obviously very busy at the start, but it was soon possible to pull away into the appropriate position. Preferred finished on the road as opposed to the grass. Well done Nice Work and Ashford & District :-)Date of review: February 7, 2014
In full: I ran the Marshal race on the saturday as I was involved in the course re organisation as a result of the flooding. It could not have been done without the members of Ashford and Dist RRC. Brilliant race as alaways. If I say so myself the new course is just as good as the old one. Here's to the next 25 years. Date of review: February 7, 2014
In short: Hard but funIn full: With the change in course from previous years I was quite excited that losing the big hill would make the course easier. No such luck as its still quite a tough run.That said, the marshalls are excellent and encourage you all the way around and so this means although the race is tough its better this way as you get your medal feeling like you have earned it.Best bit of the run for me is near the end where theres a steep downhill of about 1/4 mile, so just when you are struggling you get a huge burst of speed and a pick me upDefinately recommendedDate of review: February 7, 2014
In short: Great organisation, good support, friendly atmosphereIn full: First time doing this race. Thought the communication from Nice Work in advance was excellent, keeping us abreast of the enforced (weather) route changes and amended parking arrangements. Both changes did nothing to impact the run.The route was switched from a big loop into a 5k out, 5k back run - sounds dull but actually was really good to look out for fellow runners on the home leg.Date of review: February 4, 2014
In short: First time for me and loved it!Date of review: February 4, 2014
In short: A good race and thanks to nice work for all the efforts to get the event on despite weather.In full: As usual excellent organisation and a friendly atmosphere The new start and finish were welcomed The new route was overall a tougher run but would be happy to do this route again. Date of review: February 4, 2014
In short: 7k hill was a push but good challenge.Date of review: February 3, 2014
In short: Picturesque, friendly and a great runIn full: Great organisation from Nice Work and Ashford AC before, during and after the event. No problems on the revised route and it was great to run a negative split. Terrific marshalls and locals cheered everyone on. Thanks for a great run.Date of review: February 3, 2014

Thick, great

Love these. Wish they hadn't changed the packaging! They don't close and dry out :(
Excellent value
Posted by Reviewer3091617 on Jan 15, 2013
These wipes are a really good value for a 100-pack. They don't have a strong scent, and they are thick enough to get the dirtiest of jobs done well.
Good baby wipes
Posted by Reviewer1390674 on Jul 16, 2012
Gentle, no scent. Thick cloths. Just a good simple baby wipe.
Better Than Huggies
Posted by Reviewer1477814 on Apr 15, 2012
I feel much better using these over standard store brands that have a host of chemicals.
Use these for everything!
Posted by ViolaHolmgren on Dec 30, 2013
I wipe my dogs dirty feet/stomach with it, buff dirty makeup packaging, wipe hands with in the kitchen etc, they are multi purpose and perfect! But the packaging is huge so they're hard to take with you.
Posted by TheNorwegian on May 29, 2014
Barely any smell. Removes even full party makeup. Tissue is a bit smaller than other brands, but it's large enough. No residue on the skin. Perfect amount of moisture on each wipe. Large box so not very travel-friendly.

I use these for fast and easy slip-on when leaving the house for quick errands or for basic outdoors projects. They are much more comfortable and better looking than the equivalent back-less Merrill's and Keene's that I used to wear in these situations.
My only caution is that Naot's sizing chart is way off the mark. I typically wear a 44; having read already that the Naot runs small, I started off ordering a 45. But even that was too small; I had to go up to the 46 to get the right fit.

in rodents, in massive quantities- just a like a bunch of other foods that most people consider to be harmless (cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and basil). There's never been any connection between bromate and cancer in humans. And this is even true for flour workers that are exposed to greater amounts of it than consumers.
Unless they are eating raw dough, consumers probably aren't exposed to any bromate.
would rather go without it myself and try to make natural food.
Compared to your previous effort, are you getting closer or further away from Pino's?
John, That looks great Could you help out a noob and give some details on your prep, fermentation, bake temp and bake surface.ThanksRob

I recently purchased a goose flute call and I am having trouble learning how to use it. I am having the hardest time making new notes. If you would leave any tips it would be very helpful. -Thanks

Some may disagree with me but flutes do not have the same capabilities as a short reed goose call will have. While goose flutes are easier to use than a short reed, short reeds will allow you to be much more versatile with your calling.
Just about any short reed call would be a good starting point for you. Get your hands on a few of them and try them out. Some really cheap short reeds have a "plastic" sound when used so try to avoid them. Also learn to adjust and shave reeds so you can get the custom sound you like.

I use a goose flute and always have (tim grounds guides best flute). It gives a different sound when hunting with a group of guys that blow short reeds. I can make almost every call they can. I have hunted with guys before that put there short reeds aside and just let me call on the flute. They are great and easy to use.

You completely contradicted yourself:
Reading about what the Offense is trying to do in the preseason and all season long, I don't see how anyone should be surprised at what happened when we lost pryor's legs. That is the outside run game, pryor. This offense is deadly with a healthy Pryor, and lost without him because it is SOOOOOOOO Pryor centric. This offense is truly tailored to what he brings to the offense, just like the Beokman/Beanie years offenses were centered around Beanie.
Pryor is not the primary ball carrier in the rushing game, not in terms of carries.
The point you are dancing around here by qualifying your statement: Terrelle Pryor is the leading rusher on this team (by about 25%). Sure, Boom Herron gets more carries, that just screams to the underlying inefficiency of the offense and the critical fault that I have been screaming about for three weeks, they need a running back to take this load off.
I agree that TP is probably going to be more resilient the Robinson, simply because F=ma, but if he is "the outside run game" in order for us to have an outside run game we are risking the most important part of our team. Teams hit QBs different, they just do. As we saw with EMU we are one cheap shot away from losing our entire offense as it is currently constructed. How does this team win on the road in Iowa when it is 13 degrees and windy, or 42deg and rainy? We need to be able to run the ball, between the tackles with someone that is NOT Terrelle Pryor.
As for the game margin, I was never concerned about Illinois offense scoring later in the game, but that game was 17-13 until the Buckeyes scored a TD at the 2:47 mark in the 4th qtr. The Buckeyes were a fumble return away from potentially losing this game. Hell they got the ball back with 4:36 and scored the TD with a lot of help from penalties. Dude, that game was a lot closer than 11pts implies.
Again, I am not chicken little here, but if you watched that Illinois game and you still feel that the current OSU status quo is good enough right now, then I would like to live in that world where raindrops turn into gum drops and lollipops. The defense is great, the secondary is still a bit untested, but the line has played very well.
As for Nate Williams, he has been good, not great. I didn't realize he was in as many plays this week (I do remember the big sack for loss of 11), but if you say 9 tackles I am not going to argue. I just haven't seen him really do it as a pass rusher this year, not at the level that I convinced myself he would perform at. I legitimately thought he could be a 1st/2nd round pick this year, I would say no chance this year. The Bucks have not gotten consistent PR from the edge this year from the front 4. Most of the pressure has been Larimore, Heyward, and Simon inside.

There's nobody of the caliber of Anthony Davis or Kyrie in the draft, but there are a number of interesting prospects. There's a few guys that interest me and a few guys I wouldn't touch.
Nerlens Noel intrigues the hell out of me, particularly for the Cavs. His defense impressed me even more than AD's did last year. He's not at all a zero offensively like some experts are making him out to be. He looks like he can own the paint defensively in the NBA, and his ACL tear doesn't scare me so much given that the Cavs won't be in contention next year anyway.
Shabazz Muhammed is a guy I wouldn't touch. We already have 2 ball dominant guards who usually look for their own shot - Shabazz literally has no idea how to pass the ball. Or maybe he does, but I've never seen him do it. Also, there was a game I watched earlier this year that he was visibly not hustling or trying all that hard on D (maybe he hated Howland). Dunno if that was an isolated game or not, but everything I've seen and heard about his game and makeup screams a rich man's Nick Young.
I love Oladipo. Not sure how he'd fit with the Cavs (an undersized 3? A starting 2, with Waiters as the 6th man? Utilize a 3 guard lineup?), but he has that superstar, Dwyane Wade quality, in that he always seems to come up with the right play at the right time, on both offense and defense. Freakishly athletic, his offense doesn't match his defense just yet, but I can see glimmers of an NBA star there too. All Defense with 18 ppg a few years in to his career would not surprise me at all.
Otto Porter is another guy I'd want for the Cavs (and I was saying that before Chad Ford stuck his ignorant nose in). He does everything well except shoot a high percentage from the outside, and in Cleveland playing along Kyrie and Waiters he won't be asked to as much. He reminds me of a longer young Battier. I think he can be that guy who contributes a lot more in the win column than the stat sheet.
The last guy I'd consider is Anthony Bennett. Unfortunately he strikes me as the type of guy who will be a bust with his 1st team and then break out with his 2nd, but my god is he talented. Most skilled big man coming out since Demarcus Cousins IMO.
In an ideal world, the Cavs use their picks, assets, and cap space to trade for a star, but assuming they use their picks, these are some names that I've formulated an opinion on. How about you?

David Akers (1975/88): In terms of population rarity, i.e. the total number of specimens known, the 1891-CC is the third rarest Carson City Mint Double Eagle after the 1870-CC and 1871-CC. It is more rare than the 1878-CC or 1879-CC except in high grade, and it is much rarer than the 1885-CC in any condition. The majority of 1891-CC Double Eagles are EF or AU and all of then are semi-prooflike or prooflike. In average uncirculated condition (MS-60), the 1891-CC is very rare and relatively few are known. There are several choice uncs in existence but I have never personally seen a gem specimen.

Jamestown Police Officer Charged After Off-Duty Incident At His Home
A Jamestown police officer has been arrested following an off-duty incident at his residence last week.
Officer Michael A. Bush on Tuesday was arrested and charged with second-degree obstructing governmental administration.
Ellicott police on Jan. 17 were called to Baker Street Extension for a distraught male. Police said Bush was found in the home armed with a weapon threatening harm to himself.
After three hours of speaking to him, Bush allowed police to get him medical attention. Because he failed to immediately follow police, Bush was charged and was arraigned today in Ellicott Court. He was released under supervision of probation.
According to a news release by the Jamestown Police Department, Bush has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. Harry Snellings, Jamestown police chief, said the incident occurred while Bush was off-duty and outside the city.
Questions currently are being referred to Ellicott police.

TRENTON, N.J.—At a kickoff event for the initiative, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes announced the creation of a Medical Reserve Corps for Mercer County. A cooperative effort between the County and the State of New Jersey, the MRC seeks to provide trained, dedicated medical volunteers to assist Mercer County residents during their time of need. According to Hughes, "The MRC program constitutes a wonderful opportunity for civilians to learn about emergency management and make a substantive impact on the lives of their neighbors."
Specific program objectives include coordinating volunteers to assist during emergencies, training volunteers to provide them with appropriate skills, deploying volunteers during emergencies, and cooperating with other Mercer County volunteer agencies to create a unified response system for emergency and non-emergency medical situations. MRC volunteers will perform a diverse array of duties, helping with registration of other volunteers, patient care, traffic control, and possibly even translation for volunteers proficient in languages other than English.
Anyone wishing to join the MRC may register by visiting www.njmrc.nj.gov and filling out an application. Once a person's application has been processed, he or she will receive email notification informing him or her whether or not he or she may participate. "I encourage anyone who is interested in helping Mercer County prepare for emergencies to visit this site and learn about the MRC program," said Hughes.

SolarTech Workforce Innovations CollaborativePartners:
The SolarTech Workforce Innovations Collaborative (SWIC) built collaborative relationships with various players in the renewable energy field to identify emerging labor needs and related skill sets. Working with Workforce Boards for talent placement and community colleges for skill development, SWIC helped move unemployed or underemployed professionals into the renewable energy jobs.
The close working relationship that the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies (CACT) within the Foothill-De Anza CCD fostered with the emerging renewable energy industry and NOVA Workforce Board led to CACT being chosen as the training partner in the SolarTech Workforce Innovations Collaborative (SWIC). SWIC was awarded a $4M grant in June 2010 by the California Employment Development Department through its Green Innovations Challenge.
The Green Innovation Challenge (GIC) grants encouraged industry leaders to find innovative methods designed to meet the needs of businesses to not only fill immediate employment gaps, but also to develop partnerships and infrastructure flexible enough to support green employment growth for the future.
As the education coordinator in the collaborative, the De Anza College CACT worked with community college partners Foothill College, Cabrillo College, Ohlone College, Skyline College, and the Solar Training Institute on programs such as:
The SWIC project built on an earlier project, the Silicon Valley Solar Industry Driven Regional Collaborative, which included many of the same partners. The SV Solar IDRC, founded by Rick Kuhn and funded in September 2007, was a strategic regional response to meet the need for a skilled workforce in solar photovoltaic system design and installation. SWIC partners built on lessons learned from their earlier experience. SolarTech and San Jose State University researchers systematically reviewed workforce needs to insure the relevance of the training to jobs in the region.

Agrobacterium is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria established by H. J. Conn that uses horizontal gene transfer to cause tumors in plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the most commonly studied species in this genus. Agrobacterium is well known for its ability to transfer DNA between itself and plants, and for this reason it has become an important tool for genetic engineering.
The Agrobacterium genus is quite heterogeneous. Recent taxonomic studies have reclassified all of the Agrobacterium species into new genera, such as Ruegeria, Pseudorhodobacter and Stappia, but most species have been reclassified as Rhizobium species.
Plant pathogen
A. tumefaciens causes crown-gall disease in plants. The disease is characterised by a tumour-like growth or gall on the infected plant, often at the junction between the root and the shoot. Tumors are incited by the conjugative transfer of a DNA segment (T-DNA) from the bacterial tumour-inducing (Ti) plasmid. The closely related species, A. rhizogenes, induces root tumors, and carries the distinct Ri (root-inducing) plasmid. Although the taxonomy of Agrobacterium is currently under revision it can be generalised that 3 biovars exist within the genus, A. tumefaciens, A. rhizogenes, and A. vitis. Strains within A. tumefaciens and A. rhizogenes are known to be able to harbour either a Ti or Ri-plasmid, whilst strains of A. vitis, generally restricted to grapevines, can harbour a Ti-plasmid. Non-Agrobacterium strains have been isolated from environmental samples which harbour a Ri-plasmid whilst laboratory studies have shown that non-Agrobacterium strains can also harbour a Ti-plasmid. Many environmental strains of Agrobacterium possess neither a Ti nor Ri-plasmid. These strains are avirulent.
The plasmid T-DNA is integrated semi-randomly into the genome of the host cell,[1] and the tumor morphology genes on the T-DNA are expressed, causing the formation of a gall. The T-DNA carries genes for the biosynthetic enzymes for the production of unusual amino acids, typically octopine or nopaline. It also carries genes for the biosynthesis of the plant hormones, auxin and cytokinins), and for the biosynthesis of opines, providing a carbon and nitrogen source for the bacteria that most other micro-organisms can't use, giving Agrobacterium a selective advantage.[2] By altering the hormone balance in the plant cell, the division of those cells cannot be controlled by the plant, and tumors form. The ratio of auxin to cytokinin produced by the tumor genes determines the morphology of the tumor (root-like, disorganized or shoot-like).
Agrobacterium in humans
Although generally seen as an infection in plants, Agrobacterium can be responsible for opportunistic infections in humans with weakened immune systems,[3][4] but has not been shown to be a primary pathogen in otherwise healthy individuals. One of the earliest associations of human disease caused by Agrobacterium radiobacter was reported by Dr. J. R. Cain in Scotland (1988).[5] A later study suggested that Agrobacterium attaches to and genetically transforms several types of human cells by integrating its T-DNA into the human cell genome. The study was conducted using cultured human tissue and did not draw any conclusions regarding related biological activity in nature.[6]
Uses in biotechnology
The ability of Agrobacterium to transfer genes to plants and fungi is used in biotechnology, in particular, genetic engineering for plant improvement. A modified Ti or Ri plasmid can be used. The plasmid is 'disarmed' by deletion of the tumor inducing genes; the only essential parts of the T-DNA are its two small (25 base pair) border repeats, at least one of which is needed for plant transformation. Marc Van Montagu and Jozef Schell at the University of Ghent (Belgium) discovered the gene transfer mechanism between Agrobacterium and plants, which resulted in the development of methods to alter Agrobacterium into an efficient delivery system for gene engineering in plants.[7][8] A team of researchers led by Dr Mary-Dell Chilton were the first to demonstrate that the virulence genes could be removed without adversely affecting the ability of Agrobacterium to insert its own DNA into the plant genome (1983).
The genes to be introduced into the plant are cloned into a plant transformation vector that contains the T-DNA region of the disarmed plasmid, together with a selectable marker (such as antibiotic resistance) to enable selection for plants that have been successfully transformed. Plants are grown on media containing antibiotic following transformation, and those that do not have the T-DNA integrated into their genome will die. An alternative method is agroinfiltration.
Transformation with Agrobacterium can be achieved in two ways. Protoplasts, or leaf-discs can be incubated with the Agrobacterium and whole plants regenerated using plant tissue culture. A common transformation protocol for Arabidopsis is the floral-dip method: the flowers are dipped in an Agrobacterium culture, and the bacterium transforms the germline cells that make the female gametes. The seeds can then be screened for antibiotic resistance (or another marker of interest), and plants that have not integrated the plasmid DNA will die.
Agrobacterium does not infect all plant species, but there are several other effective techniques for plant transformation including the gene gun.
Agrobacterium is listed as being the original source of genetic material that was transferred to these USA GMOs:[9]
- Soybean
- Cotton
- Corn
- Sugar Beet
- Alfalfa
- Wheat
- Rapeseed Oil (Canola)
- Creeping bentgrass (for animal feed)
- Rice (Golden Rice)
The sequencing of the genomes of several species of Agrobacterium has permitted the study of the evolutionary history of these organisms and has provided information on the genes and systems involved in pathogenesis, biological control and symbiosis. One important finding is the possibility that chromosomes are evolving from plasmids in many of these bacteria. Another discovery is that the diverse chromosomal structures in this group appear to be capable of supporting both symbiotic and pathogenic lifestyles. The availability of the genome sequences of Agrobacterium species will continue to increase, resulting in substantial insights into the function and evolutionary history of this group of plant-associated microbes.[10]

I know the impact that The Beatles and Paul have had on the USA, so I wanted to ask the American 'forumers' what their OTHER favourite British artists are / have been since the British pop-music invasion of 1964 !
PS Don't worry, there is no chance of another British chart invasion, due to the terrible state of British music right now.
