Skip to comments.THE BRIDGE: Black Men Hate Black Women
Posted on 07/02/2008 1:08:52 PM PDT by Coffee200am
*Now that I have your attention, you have to know that the title is far from the truth.
At least it is for any sane person, but not for a growing number of Black women who are now using the R. Kelly acquittal to bolster their claim that Black men hate Black women.
Before I deal with that, let me tell you a story.
It was the mid-nineties and I was hanging out with Jermaine Dupri at the Santa Monica airport in California, where R & B group Jagged Edge was filming one of their videos.
It was Summertime and the honeys were out in big numbers--legs, breasts and butt cleavage on display for all to see.
These honeys were in line to be chosen for participation in the Jagged Edge video and what happened next stayed with me for a while.
Jermaine pointed to the line and said: DJ, watch this, man.
I watched as the young Black women in the line foisted breasts, hiked up skirts and exposed as much flesh as possible the closer they got to the front of the line.
I asked Jermaine if this was usual and he shook his head and replied: Its like this all the time.
Over the years, I learned that such is the behavior of the so-called Video Hoes, who are painted by some as strong independent women and by others as victims of sexism.
While I always have problems with such labels as Video Hoes, I have an even bigger problem with blaming their behavior on sexism. Particularly knowing that their avocation is an unpaid one.
I have yet an even bigger problem when Black women pretend that the existence of Video Hoes is only at the behest of the Black men who make the music. It leaves so many people out of the loop.
It leaves out parents, educators, the media and of course, the women themselves who participate in the degradation of their own image and standing in society.
It also ignores the dichotomy of public opinion regarding music videos, music and sexism, which frankly draws a line down the middle of Black womanhood. Some Black women celebrate the sexual imagery in entertainment, while others decry it and blame it solely on Black men.
But, if Black women can not reach a consensus about crucial issues including sexism and misogyny, then how can anyone expect a consensus from Black men, particularly if they are only watching?
I guess I could have put the cape on and flew to the rescue of those poor victims at the Jagged Edge video, but anyone with half a brain knows that none of those women would have come with me to safety. In fact, I would have been laughed at and cursed out and possibly even assaulted.
So why do some Black women continue to blame Black men for any and everything that happens to any of them?
And why do some Black women claim that because Black women are subject to sexist views and sexist behavior it is only because Black men are failing to protect them or because Black men actually hate Black women?
Simple: Because it is the path of least resistance since anyone can say anything about Black men and very few will come to their defense.
I mean, really, we must ask ourselves: Has it been open season on Black women, or on Black people?
Now, back to R. Kelly.
I tried to stay out of the discussion about whether he was the man in the video and whether the young girl was a victim and whether he should be jailed, because, for me, the man deserved a trial before being convicted and punished.
Some people compare it to the OJ Simpson case and claim that African Americans dont care if a Black person is guilty or notthey just want to see them go free.
Thats asinine.
And its also a damned lie.
African Americans are not so unsophisticated that they just want any famous Black person to go free simply because they are famous. In fact, its quite the opposite.
Black people who cheered for OJ did so because the evidence was not evidence at all. They cheered for his acquittal because whites with the same level of evidence had been acquitted. In fact, most Black people dont really care about OJ, because they know hes an idiot.
Its just that we understand the justice system and if they can get off, so should we.
For example, there was and still is no moral outrage over filmmaker Roman Polanski, who admitted to raping an underage girl and then fled the country to evade prosecution. There are no extradition efforts and no outrage from women who want his art boycotted and/or to use him as an icon for the sexual abuse of women. Further, he was given a standing ovation at the Academy Awards a few years ago.
The people who cheered for R. Kelly understood that no matter how much people became emotionally involved, he could not be convicted simply because people wanted him to be convicted.
The tape was not evidence enough, as demonstrated in many cases involving police brutality caught on tape.
And the witnesses, including the alleged victim who swore she was not the person on the tape and the woman who stole from Kelly and admitted to extortion were not enough.
For all the crowing about Black men not protecting Black women, this case shows clearly that apparently many Black women arent willing to protect themselves, as evidenced by the cheering of Black women over Kellys acquittal.
What is also sad and very confusing is that in light of Black womens failure to stand up for Black women, groups of Black women are still willing to give too much focus to chiding Black men about standing up for Black women.
WhatAboutOurDaughters.com, a site run by Black women, admitted that during the R. Kelly trial, it was Black women and not Black men who acted the most disturbing in their defense of R. Kelly.
Yet, the site has posted and is promoting a petition targeting Black men and their need to stand up for Black women by battling the exploitation of their daughters, sisters and wives.
Something is wrong with that. Where is the petition for Black women to stand up, or the petition for Black women to stop participating in their own exploitation?
Its not that I am opposed to the protection of Black women. I just think it is a mistake to lay the burden of protection solely at the feet of Black men.
I also think it is a grave mistake to link the defense of Black women and girls to the allegedly unjust acquittal of one man. Leave R. Kelly alone, because there is nothing there.
We would do better to launch unified defense campaigns of Black women and girls, simply because it is the right thing to do. We should do so because we love and cherish Black women and girls and they should be defended.
Its said that some people think we need an icon.
Why not go after all the media outlets that facilitate the soft porn of Black women?
Why not go afterand I know this wont be popularthe very Black women who participate in and facilitate the destruction of Black women and girls?
And while were at it, why not go after the Black women who participate in and facilitate the destruction of Black men and boys?
Reallywhos hating whom?

It's always 90%... For Gore, Kerry, all Libs... It'll be closer to 98% this time.
I concur with your analysis.
Looking back as a white kid growing up in the Fifties and Sixties,I can recall when the news would anounce the acquital of a killer of a civil rights worker in the South.Do you think ANY white adult ever got indignant at that injustice?No,not in my redneck of the woods,thats for sure.
I also blame LAPD and the Garcetti for blowing a sure conviction.Marcia Clark was a disaster and the Mark Fuhrman fiasco doomed it for good.
I am not voting for Obama at all. I am merely stating that I am proud that he could have the chance to be elected. While I am Conservative, I am still black. I cannot separate myself from that or what it means. One's experiences in this country is shaped by many things, color being one of them. If you are one of those "color blind" people, then G-d bless you. Most of us are not. I DO see color and what it means, but I don't think it is a bad thing to acknowledge the differences of our citizens. Its what makes us great. I am pro-life, pro-gun rights, pro-off shore drilling and Obama is anti- all of that. It's not that I care what his color is, but what this means for us as a country. It is evidence of how far we've come.
Yes,and its about time these killers were federally prosecuted for the crimes they got away with years ago.Looks like Georgia is getting ready to reopen the 1946 Moore lynching.
The sad thing is that I'm sure there are any number of weaker cases against black men that we could ALL (well, maybe most) rally behind, if they were brought to public attention.
The good thing is that they aren't anonymous psycho killers being let go to roam the streets. I'm unlikely to date OJ, and equally unlikely to travel in R. Kelly's circles.
But the actions that are being supported by this kind of amnesty...
We have been married going on 20 years and have two beautiful talented children. It hasn't always been easy, there are still some knuckleheads out there (black and white) but we are still making it. Thank G-d for His Grace.
No,society has not"moved beyond all that".Lots of these old angers just fester and marinate until the appropriate time when they explode with vehemence.
Here is the irony of the whole OJ phenomenon-many blacks,especially black women,were angered by his obvious attraction to white blonde females.He was seen as a joke in many quarters of the black community.Yet when he got into trouble he had no problem playing the race card!
Personally,I felt little emotion at the acquital.Reason-I was just not too sympathetic toward the whole Brown-Simpson crowd who seemed like a bunch of drug taking,hedonistic selfish boors.Not that I believe that justifies murder but violating basic moral principles can often lead people to do things once considered outside the bounds of civilized behavior.
Also, every black guy I know is well-known for whining about the price of arugola. (that was sarcasm, for those in Rio Linda...)
Isn't an Arab of Semitic heritage? I thought his father was African.
Black people who cheered for OJ did so because the evidence was not evidence at all
There's a lot of white people on death row with a lot less evidence than the prosecution had in the OJ trial. OJ was found innocent because of the defense playing the race card. The jury never even heard the evidence.
And Maryland, the big lib state, had a chance to elect a black governor last election and did not.
Because Steele was a REPUBLICAN,thats why he was defeated,not cause he was black.
Had he fallen in line with the liberal agenda or even played moderate Democrat,he would have been elected.
The liberals still had a chance to vote for him. What was the black vote break down for Steele?
Lots of people on FR keep tossing around the statistic that Obama is 7/16 Arab, but exactly what is the evidence for this? Does it even make sense, given the tribal background and appearance of his father, that the father could possibly have been 7/8 Arab?
His father, evidently according to Kenyan law, is an Arab.
OJ grew up in the housing projects of Potrero Hill and went to Galileo High,a very integrated school at the time.
I grew up in and around San Francisco.I hate to generalize but many black men in San Francisco tend to gravitate toward white women or see them as the ideal phenotype.Even in the early Sixties,you would see numerous black male-white female couples.I wonder if this social tendency influenced OJ.
Its true there are many black Arabs.That part of the world has a long history of trade and slave raiding by Arabs since the Eighth Century.
Yet Obama's dad certainly doesn't LOOK like a traditional Arab.Do you say that because he was a Muslim?
Its kind of a running joke among black women that the brothers will hit on a white woman,"Eight to Eighty,blind,crippled or crazy".
Not sure it THATS so but you do see a lot of black men with VERY rotund white women.
Of course,beauty standards for many black men include"healthy,big boned"women so maybe thats understandable.
Within the last 10 days. I've searched back to 31 July so far, haven't found it yet. It's there, never fear.
See post 73.
Obama has never acknowledged any Arab background.I don't think its anything that would derail his Presidential ambitions,however or influence many votes.
He had no choice who his parents were.
That's asinine.
And it's also a damned lie.
Maybe, but I worked with several black women who were certain that he did it the night it happened. They were equally sure that the "ho" deserved it.
Don't fool yourself-those women know whats happening.They just are under the illusion that"having a man"is worth putting up with the cheating.
Black women collaborate in their own oppression since most have such low self esteem.And forget about all those"tough bad ass sistas"nonsense.Its all a front to hide a lot of hurt and pain.
"Personally,I felt little emotion at the acquital."
Me either. I was surprised but that's about it.
"No,society has notmoved beyond all that.Lots of these old angers just fester and marinate until the appropriate time when they explode with vehemence."
Seems extremely one-sided. Besides, what "old angers" does anyone under the age of 60 really have? A few white guys got away with murder 50 years ago? When can we expect these "old angers" to subside? Ever?
I'm sorry but that's just a lame excuse for acting in a hateful manner.
I think its something twisted in the human condition that keeps these age old racial animosities alive.
For example,in my forty years on and off working in urban schools,I have seen way more INTRA racial hate and anger than the other way around.Black kids will pound the crap out of each other,harass black females and call each other the worst kind of names but as soon as a Mexican or Asian does something against a black kid,its on-the blacks all unite against "the other".
I went to all white schools.Most white kids talked bad about"the niggers"but would run away real fast if they saw four or more blacks together.The big prejudice back then was against Jews.Lots of the Italian and Irish kids didn't think much of the"kikes".Jealousy in my opinion.The Jewish kids dominated the honor rolls in the same ways Asian kids do today.
His plurality of Muslim parentage simply introduces another strong factor of doubt about his veracity. Taqqiyah, anyone?
Well,then we need to attack Obama for his pro socialist POLITICS then,not his alleged ethnicity.
Its a cheap shot and one could ask why we have 150,000 of our best men and women over in Iraq now protecting a bunch of ARAB MUSLIMS!
Do tell me how that works out for you...in, say, 10 years' time.
Iraq is and always has been about geopolitical strategy regarding Iran and its ultimate political isolation and/or the destruction of its theocracy. The fact that the people in Iraq are Muslims is quite irrelevant to the strategy and the goal. A tactical problem, and a knotty one, certainly, but the Iraqis could just as well be Confucians without affecting for a moment the validity of the strategy.
It's also invariably a policy bonus to kill off a murderous and tyrannical regime, and give ANY people a shot at running their own nation. Who knows, in this case, they might become ''moderate'' Muslims after a time. Or not. If not, nothing lost there, other than unfortunately a lot of our good men and women. If so, enormous rewards portend.
Yes, before you ask, geopolitically I'm quite cynical. Please note that Iraq is NOT a strategy that can be used more than once -- so we'd better get it right the first time. I'd rate it about 50/50 success/failure just now, but I'd rate the expectation (look up the term) considerably higher.
FReegards to you!
Lets not wander so far from the original topic.
Whether Obama is one forth,one half or 100% Arab should not even be an issue.
Just his late term abortion position nixes him for me.Not to mention the tax and spend programs he has in store.
Now if he intentionally LIES about his ethnic background,then I think we have cause to be concerned.
Still glad Barack kicked Hillary's butt,though.I'll never back down from that one.
I am certainly not a psychiatrist.I am just being a truth teller and telling you how it was when I was growing up.
Sad but true that we all make generalizations.Of course not all Italians and Irish were anti Semitic nor were all Jews academic whiz kids.Yet the PATTERN at that time was that you found mostly Jewish kids in honor classes and Auto Shop had the rougher across the tracks Italian and Irish boys.Just the way it was.
I don't relate to white guilt.If anything,most of my barbs are directed to the black kids I see throwing away their lives daily.And I can tell you this-I say that to their faces and they respect me for it.
From the earliest days of our Republic, Arabs and Muslims (cut that up however you like) have -- by their own actions -- declared war upon us. Remember the Dey of Algiers? Remember the 'Philadelphia' incident, and Stephen Decatur's frankly quite heroic raid? Remember ''Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!''
It doesn't sound like it.
Define taqqiyah for me, please, and write a coherent paragraph about that subject and its application to Baraka Hussein Obama, Jr. ('Baraka' is his correct birth name, btw, now conveniently Anglicised ... more or less).
State socialists are invariably my enemy. State socialists who adhere, even incidentally, to the enemies of our Republic for 200+ years are beyond the pale, and beyond despicable.
Don't like that attitude? Tough, er, luck.
Islam has always been spread by the sword and by deliberate deception. Osamabama is simply the latest iteration of this theme. The historically inarguable fact that he is and has been an advocate of infanticide, of statism regarding every point in any private citizen's life, of more and bigger goobermint at ALL turns ... well, these are just separate reasons to loathe him.
I certainly don't endorse Islam or any other fascist religion like it.
Yet I think you are barking up the wrong tree when thats your main weapon to attack Obama with.It will seem small minded and bigoted to most voters and will invariably create a sympathy backlash in his favor.

Letter: Sly must be the politician
The Pueblo West View has given much space to criticism of Desert Hawk Golf Course ("A web of obscurity," The Pueblo West View, Aug. 22, 2013).
Perhaps a name change would help present some of the positive features.
I am suggesting a name change to Jekyll Island Memorial.
Prior to 1960, the land presently occupied by Pueblo West Metropolitan District was a near-worthless land mass that did nothing but fill the void between Florence and Pueblo with piles of shale.
As a cattle ranch, it was "use of last resort," it rarely provided its owners with enough income to pay the property taxes.
After a financially successful endeavor at Lake Havaseu in Arizona, the McCulloch people began looking for a large piece of cheap western land near a large body of water.
Once a large gathering of people is established, realtors will tell you there are three important things effecting the value of real estate: Location, location, location.
The McCulloch people understood the trick in profitable real estate was the gathering of the people in the first place.
Their process was to inform people of a place where they could "get in on the ground floor" of the next boom town.
In the case of Pueblo West, it became location near "soon to be built" Pueblo Reservoir and a golf course.
The Bureau of Reclamation was busy putting the finishing touches on Pueblo Reservoir and McCulloch was building a golf course and an inn to convince would-be investors of the potential profits to be made by investing in real estate.
Fortunately for McCulloch, the area was enjoying a "Wet Cycle" with natural moisture almost double the long-range average.
When they took the pictures for the sales brochures the grama grass was lush and green.
The investors (MARKS) were brought in at great expense, put up in the inn overlooking the golf course.
Large scale maps were available and tours of the three model homes, on the golf course, where else, were promoted.
It was a pleasant walk from the inn down across the first fairway, now the tenth, to the model homes.
The sales force, armed with Jeep Grand Wagoneers, encouraged a vehicle tour; after all you could see so much more, before you were returned to the airport.
The building sites adjacent to the golf course were three to 10 times the price of any remaining lots.
The further from the golf course the less the price.
It's hard to explain what caused the growth spurt in Pueblo West from 1997 to 2007, but it did happen.
Like it or not, the homes in the proximity of the golf course generate a huge volume of property taxes due to assessed valuation associated to location near the golf course.
Pundits of the golf course enterprise feel it is nothing more than governmental agencies that invest taxpayer money in worthless assets and then try to hide the transactions, either by writing them off as uncollectible bad debts or by transferring them off the books and onto the books of another entity.
Proponents of the golf course enterprise can use the same style of accounting analysis to prove the golf course enterprise a wise investment.
Should it have fallen into the hands of a private investor that might subdivide it into some other use, perceived property values would plummet?
Depending on the alternate use, the adjacent assessed property values would eventually drop with a resulting drop in County, Metro, school and all the other taxes generated from homes.
Golf; a game where adults pay $10 per hour to drive around in a little vehicle after hitting a ball which they might not find. If they find their ball or one lost by another player, they continue to hit the ball until it falls in a small hole.
This process continues, generally in the same direction past numerous overpriced homes that generate high tax revenues. Traditionally, society places a disproportionately high value on property in the vicinity of this game.
Other game facilities do not share this amenity value.
Sly must be the politician, that promotes spending tax money to generate much desired additional tax revenues.

We always want to bring you the latest denim news ASAP so here it is: Diesel's new Fall/Winter collection has just been made available in their online store–with free shipping! Diesel gives us a variety of options for the upcoming season, and we've chosen our personal favorites to share with you right here:
For the women, the rich brown leather and violet canvas bag is just too irresistible and not to mention a perfect match for the printed jersey racerback tank top. If you're lovin' the leather like we are, the white leather jacket with a zipper closure is just what you need for a night out on the town as the weather cools down. And that caramel textured leather cuff is a great accessory to top off any outfit. Our true love lies with the grey denim leggings that are the perfect transition from the white denim of summertime.
For all you men out there, Diesel's black leather jacket is just the amount of badass us ladies like to see you in (you can look the part, just don't act it). Free fashion tip: the dark tapered jean would be a great match with the leather jacket, so you won't even have to worry about your bottom half looking as good as your top. For a more laidback look, the tapered blue jean or the distressed jean jacket with a Corduroy-velveteen collar is definitely the way to go. Going somewhere? The suede black and brown two-tone travel bag is stylish enough to please the ladies and masculine enough to get the ok from your friends as well.
Check out the rest of the collection at the Diesel Online Store.

According to the Department of Energy, in the United States alone, commercial buildings consume 70 percent of all electricity.[i] How devices, equipment and systems are being used and managed on the inside of a corporate facility has as much an effect on energy consumption as building design.
The only way to guarantee that energy in an enterprise is utilized as efficiently as possible is to monitor, measure and control not only the IT infrastructure, but also the building-management systems and industrial controls.
Physical Boundaries Give Way to Borderless Networks and Devices
Building-management systems have conducted most enterprise energy management over the past several decades. But just as technological advances have made the physical office worker more virtual, physical boundaries such as buildings and campus locations are giving way to borderless IT networks and a broader community of business devices. This can be a challenge for facilities departments tasked with managing and reducing the rising costs and demand for energy across the enterprise. After all, if you can't see the energy being consumed by various IT devices, equipment and systems throughout the enterprise, how can you lower it?
Power-per-square-foot or power-per-user calculations have set the standard for determining how much energy a building's IT equipment consumes. But what if you could see actual energy consumption, utilization, cost and carbon emissions for every device that is plugged into your network? New solutions for enterprise energy management are making this possible, and delivering dramatic cost savings—up to 30% of the total energy lot.
New Solutions Provide a Global View of Energy Consumption
Previously, solutions to manage energy consumption and utilization at the IT-device level have been cost prohibitive, inadequate and difficult to implement. Today this is changing for the better. With technology available now, enterprises can transition their energy-management approach from "always on" to "available when needed" without impeding employee and business productivity or service level agreements (SLAs). The results of this shift include significant cost savings, reductions in carbon emissions, and increased visibility into energy consumption that can aid in capacity planning, policy decisions and more.
New enterprise energy-management solutions are providing a consolidated energy utilization dashboard for every network-connected device in the enterprise (both IP- and non-IP-enabled). This delivers unprecedented "global" visibility into the energy consumption and utilization of every device, system and facilities asset connected to the network, including:

I think this is what a comfort bra should be for a plus-size woman. It really does provide light support that is comfortable. I found that it does run true-to-size...I got the 2x and I am a 42F. That said, if your cup size is bigger, this probably isn't the bra for you. I just wish they made this in beige and that the straps where just a little bit wider. That said, I am back here to buy 2 more.

SCE executives rack up expenses
The highest-paid 10 percent of Southern California Edison employees earned at least $418.8 million in combined total compensation during 2011, and charged at least $11.8 million to their expense accounts, according to a report the public utility filed with the state.
SCE's most recent annual report showed 19 executives and other employees received more than $1 million in total compensation during 2011, and at least 130 others received $300,000 or more in total compensation. The 2,094 employees who earned at least $125,000 (but less than $250,000) in base salary racked up a combined $10.5 million in business expenses.
Four of the employees charged more than $100,000 to their business expense accounts, with the top spender, identified only as "Manager 3," charging $192,402, according to the report. The median expense total for the 2,094 employees was $3,358.
What specific items employees and executives charged to their accounts is anyone's guess – at least right now – because SCE declined to provide documentation or details of spending. Instead, SCE officials provided general comments in a written statement.
"Sometimes employee-related business expenses are incurred and charged to credit cards for a group of individuals or a department, including the expenses charged by the individuals who have been identified," the statement said. "These charges are reported under the employee responsible for the company issued credit card. Charges are recorded to either ratepayer or shareholder accounts, based on the business activity for which it is incurred."
SCE officials did not say which expenses charged by individual employees reflected business expenses for other employees, nor did they say which expenses – or what percentage of expenses – were charged to shareholder accounts.
Ratepayer advocates said the reports suggest some SCE employees may be living the high life at ratepayers' expense.
"Overall, when you look at this, you have the sense of a company that is living high on the hog," said Mindy Spatt, spokeswoman for the nonprofit ratepayer advocate group The Utility Reform Network, or TURN. "Their executives have huge salaries and huge expense accounts."
"The majority of the money these highly paid executives are getting comes right out of ratepayers' pockets," Spatt said. "Most of their expenses are billed to ratepayers, too."
SCE ratepayers covered most or all of the employees' compensation and expenses, according to documents the utility filed with the state. And ratepayers kicked in part of the total compensation for a handful of executives shared by SCE and related companies – including the top official at SCE's parent company, Edison International, who earned $10.8 million in 2011 and charged $334,272 to his expense account.
Peter Thomas Dietrich, senior vice president and chief nuclear officer responsible for overseeing SCE's nuclear business at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, earned $1,291,869 in total compensation in 2011, according to the report. His total compensation included a performance-based annual bonus of $288,264.
Not included in Dietrich's total compensation was a $350,000 hiring bonus, a $75,000 housing stipend, a moving and mileage expense payment of $342,910, and $89,624 in charges to his expense account, the report said. With total compensation, that all adds up to about $2 million (not including business expenses).
Dietrich replaced Ross Ridenoure, who left his post for the good of the station after allegations of deep distrust between some employees and management at the plant surfaced in 2010.
Ridenoure received a cash severance payment of $581,095 upon his departure, as well as $31,702 in relocation expenses, according to SCE's 2010 compensation report. Neither figure was included in his total compensation, which could not be determined based on the figures listed in the report because his name was redacted.
Two unnamed employees with the "SVP and Chief Nuclear Officer" title were listed as employees who retired, were fired, died or were taking a leave of absence in 2010, according to SCE's report. The employees received total compensation of $283,824 and $2,557,014, respectively.
The numbers appear in reports SCE and other California utility companies must file annually with the California Public Utilities Commission, or CPUC. The reports, which show total compensation and business expenses for executives and employees who earned more than $125,000 in base salary during the year the report covers, provide transparency and information for officials to consider when deciding whether a rate increase is justified.
The CPUC does not collect or routinely audit business expenses, but ratepayer advocacy groups sometimes request the information and perform audits when utilities apply for the state's permission to raise rates. It did not appear that any groups audited business expenses when SCE applied for rate increases starting in 2012.
Spatt said the advocacy groups' audits include checks to make sure shareholders are covering lobbying expenses and other costs that cannot be billed to ratepayers.
SCE serves 4.9 million customers, including much of Orange County. SCE's forecasted revenue requirement – the money the company needs to bring in in order to operate – was $6.3 billion, according to its most recent application for a rate increase. The company expected to employ 18,543 workers in 2012, according to the rate application. The majority of the employee wages and benefits – about 80 percent – were funded by ratepayers.

Kit Contains:
Note: The Gloss Moderne Extreme kits do not arrive with instructions. Please see detailed instructions below.
The GLOSS Moderne haircare retail line must be used with the application and maintenance of the professional GLOSS Moderne Glossing Treatment. GLOSS Moderne does not guarantee their results and longevity of the treatment if not used in conjunction with the GLOSS Moderne Retail line.
Key Ingredients:
Keratin: A main protein found in hair that contributes to the strength and durability of the hair. Enhances shine and reduces frizz and split ends.
Panthenol: A provitamin (Vitamin B5) known for it's moisturizing properties. It smooths and coats roughened hair surfaces, making them naturally shiny and soft. Also known to improve the condition of the hair and its structure through its repairing effects.
Coco Nucifera (Coconut) Oil: A lightly textured oil that is extracted from the coconut fruit that is best known for its moisturizing components. It locks in moisture and serves as a protective layer for the hair to keep the moisture contained in the hair and scalp. It is known as a softening ingredient and helps prevent protein loss in the hair.
The GLOSS Moderne Glossing Treatment is a professional treatment and should ONLY be administered by a licensed salon professional.
There is no waiting period or downtime after the treatment is performed. Hair may be washed once treatment has been applied to completion. For optimal results avoid salt water and chlorine as this will cause the treatment to strip out quicker from the hair. It is also best to perform the treatment after getting your hair colored, because color will also strip the treatment from the hair.
GLOSS Moderne, a complete luxury hair care brand with a mission to bring smooth, healthy, shiny hair to those seeking a refuge from brittle, frizzy strands. Known for their formaldehyde free professional treatments, this line is also designed as the after care for Keratin treatments.
Not For MeThis product was applied at my salon , by my stylist, per the directions, which by the way had to be printed out because they were not included in the package. The product dried out my hair horribly. My hair texture is coarse and frizzy. It also faded my color. Stripping is not good. It may work for some, that's great, but not me. I have worked in salons for a long time, I should know I get what I pay for. Sorry...Aug 29, 2013DeniseHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

It Works!I have applied the Gloss Extreme on three different occasions now, and the results have been consistently fabulous. I wash my hair three times with the pre-treatment shampoo, and gently towel dry my hair until it is damp. I apply the Gloss Extreme to my hair pretty generously, comb through each section, then I blow dry thoroughly with my Solano set to high heat and high speed, using the comb attachment. Then I flat iron with my Sedu set at 420F, going over each section 5 times. This usually takes about 3 hours and wears me out, so I do not wash my hair until the next day, after I've been to my local salon to have the ends dusted. I am growing out a chemical relaxer, and this treatment helps to blend the line of demarcation between my extremely curly roots and my straighter ends and also strengthens my hair so it does not break off at the demarcation. The shine, smoothness and frizz reduction lasts about two months, and I got three treatments out of this kit (my hair is mid-back length and very thick). I did not give this 5 stars because the retail price is downright insulting. I only tried it because I was able to get it a steep discount, but the truth is that it is the best smoothing treatment I have ever used. I don't know yet if I will bite the bullet and buy it again at full price, or try a different treatment when this one wears off.Jan 25, 2013Lisa / The Desert.HAIR TYPEBlack / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

She has the power of her convictions. I like that even though I do not agree with much of her convictions.
She has the power of her convictions. I like that even though I do not agree with much of her convictions.
I don't want to pretend that I understand anything about your politics over there and I don't think I even want to try. But I seeing the campaign websites of Obama and McCain - I just can't shake off the feeling that the victims of Katrina were very unlucky because their catastrophe didn't happen in the election year.
Do the VPs even matter? Weren't they just chosen to pacify the voters? McCain chose someone who is young, pretty and fresh and very Christian - to balance his age and indifference towards certain conservative matters, Obama chose someone old and experienced - to balance his inexperience and youth.
E.g. if McCain wanted a woman - why not Condoleezza Rice? She is 53, it's not like she already has one foot in the grave. She has tons of experience, she was a professor at Stanford for political science, she was a diplomatic advisor during the end of the cold war, she was in charge of Stanford and sorted out the financial problems there, she is the secretary of state. What's the problem with her? Is she too driven, too ambitious, too much of an overachiever? Is it the fact that she is pro-choice and no former beauty queen? Is it that she doesn't have a perfect family to show off on stage, is not your average hockey mom and has no son going to Irak? Because having a son serving in Iraq apparently qualifies you to be president:
That's from the official press release of the McCain campaign! I mean, they are kidding, right? They have to be.as the mother of a soldier herself, Governor Palin understands what it takes to lead our nation and she understands the importance of supporting our troops.
i firmly believe that if her gender was male, she would never have been even considered, let alone chosen. Women look at issues (at least this woman does), and don't vote with their uterus.
I'd have to agree with Medusa. If a woman were to chosen, I'd have gone with Condoleeza Rice. Sarah Palin doesn't do much to impress me. It was a wasted move to try to appeal to women who just want to vote for a woman. Thankfully I'm not one of those-the issues are more important.
It'll be interesting to see how she holds up in debates against Joe Biden.
I know that the election shouldn't be about personal stuff and the candidate's families - but the irony in this made me smile.
I find the strategy of the nomination insulting. Not only do I not vote with my uterus, I won't vote for someone just because she has a uterus. But I'm not exactly the targeted audience. I voted for Clinton in the primary, but I'm a yellow-dog Democrat. There was never a snowball's chance I'd go GOP.
I believe this will be a big test for her (family values) and see how she handles it. I hope she can do better than those numerous other 'soul savers' with their "lord, i have sinned" confessions. I just can't buy that.
But willing to listen to her explain what a parent should do with an illegitimate pregnancy of an offspring.
She just makes voting for Obama more and more easier every day!! LOL
Actually my problem isn't that her daughter is pregnant. The problem is that she promotes abstience (spelling???) and didn't want schools to have sex education. Well apparently she's not very convincing is she?
Also, think about this....if McCain were to die or something bad happen to him...would you want her as your president? Just a thought.
Considering I live in Alaska, I know what Sarah is capable of. She's gone up against her party in this state to the point where she first ticked off a lot of well known and well liked Republicans... and then when it turned out she was not only right but good things happened she became an instant success in their eyes. She's not 'big oil' as much as the media is claiming. She actually voted AGAINST and chose a different company than the two big ones here in AK (BP and ConocoPhillips) when it came to the Alaska - Canada pipeline that we're hoping to see built. She's also upped the regulations and taxes of the oil companies in the state. She doesn't just push their crap under a rug like others have *cough*Murkowski*cough*
Her daughter's pregnancy is sad, but at the same time things happen. I can't imagine how hard this is for Bristol. It's bad enough to have your parents know, it's worse when the whole nation knows and uses it against the ones you love. AFAIK, Palin wants abstinence taught in schools ALONGSIDE safe sex... unless she changed her stance in the last two years and I failed to notice (wouldn't surprise me if I did). What disgusts me most is the way they were forced to talk about it, not because it had been noticed but because the media was circulating a report that Trig (Sarah's youngest) was really Bristol's son. It's just sick what they can get away with when it comes to 'reporting news' the national media is getting as bad as the tabloids. It's also why I'm a thorn in the side of a lot of my journalism professors because I don't see how that is fair/balanced journalism. Much less journalism at all!
I personally think McCain's choice is a good one, whether or not he truly believes that is irrelevant to me. And either way when this is all over Alaska wins. Either we get to brag that the VP came from Alaska... or we get our Governor back!

Thanks Toni for that view from a true Alaskan! I appreciate it. It's going to be an interesting election, that's for sure.
Sounds pretty clear to me. She didn't elaborate what "explicit" means - but this sounds to me like she is against sex-ed."Explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support,"
I don't know how you see this - but getting pregnant is in my opinion one of the better things that can happen to you when you have unsafe sex - what about STDs, what about HIV / AIDS? In my opinion this woman is nothing but grossly negligent if she is against explicit sex-ed. She (and everyone who is promoting abstinence-only talk) is risking the lives and health of children and young people everywhere. Young people need to be told how to protect themselves in heterosexual and homosexual relationships, they need to know what's dangerous and what's not, they need to know about the consequences, all the consequences, of unsafe sexual behaviour.

A: I am pro-life. With the exception of a doctor's determination that the mother's life would end if the pregnancy continued. I believe that no matter what mistakes we make as a society, we cannot condone ending an
She is against abortion in cases of rape and incest! Who does she think she is to make this decision for women who went through hell?
Source is Eagle Forum 2006 Gubernatorial Candidate Questionnaire Jul 31, 2006Q: In relationship to families, what are your top three priorities if elected governor?
A: 1. Creating an atmosphere where parents feel welcome to choose the venues of education for their children.
2. Preserving the definition of "marriage" as defined in our constitution.
3. Cracking down on the things that harm family life: gangs, drug use, and infringement of our liberties including attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights.
So preserving the definition of marriage (read: no same-sex marriage) is as important - or even more important (because it's point number 2) - than reducing gang violence and drug use. I just love people who have got their priorities straight.
Source is Eagle Forum 2006 Gubernatorial Candidate Questionnaire Jul 31, 2006Q: Will you support the right of parents to opt out their children from curricula, books, classes, or surveys, which parents consider privacy-invading or offensive to their religion or conscience?
A: Yes. Parents should have the ultimate control over what their children are taught.
Hmm. Yeah. I know that this is a pretty common view in some countries. Still find it questionable. Not possible here (Germany) though. You get thrown into prison if you don't send your kids to a public school or a government approved private school. I think it's the same in France.
Source: Governor's office press release, "2nd Amendment Decision" Jun 26, 2008Governor Sarah Palin today lauded the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision upholding the right of Americans to own guns for self-defense, hunting and other purposes. The high court's 5-4 ruling in District of Columbia vs. Heller affirmed gun rights by striking down the District's 32-year-old ban on handguns.
"This decision is a victory for all Alaskans and individual Americans. The right to own guns and use them responsibly is something I and many other Alaskans cherish," Governor Palin said. "I applaud the Court for standing up for the Constitution and the right of Americans to keep and bear arms."
Other purposes?
Why is it a good one? What qualifies her for the job? What qualifies her in contrast to Condoleezza Rice, or McCain's personal favourite for the job, Joe Liebermann? In my opinion this choice is founded on a few superficial issues and not on experience or abilities.Originally Posted by Tonichelle
McCain wanted to pacify the evangelical voters - job well done, I guess. Now we all know that if the whole abstinence talk isn't working we have to accept it and make sure that the 17-year-old (!) poor girl is married tout de suite, so the child won't be born out of wedlock, will grow up in a beautiful world without STDs, with lots of gun-loving - but of course responsible - people, the child will grow up to know that it is living in a "real, legally and religiously approved" family, because there is a mommy and a daddy who are married (if not divorced at that point - I feel damn sorry for that girl, by the way).
In a world where a second cold war is on our doorstep, in a world where the threat of terrorism has not been reduced since September 11th, in a world where the sudden surge of food prices is going to cause disastrous famines in Africa and Asia, in a world where we have to find new solutions to our energy crisis, in a world where the economical situation is going downhill on your side and on our side of the Atlantic, in a world where old conflicts reawaken and new ones arise, in a world where real democracy and free speech is still a rarity - choosing this woman as one of the most powerful people in this world is the best McCain could do?
http://goldenskate.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=176. In short, she has the same strengths (foreign policy, security) and same weaknesses (economy) as he does.
Have to agree with you there. It didn't even occur to those "journalists" (and I am using the term loosely here) that it's far more likely to have a Down syndrome child when you're in your 40's!What disgusts me most is the way they were forced to talk about it, not because it had been noticed but because the media was circulating a report that Trig (Sarah's youngest) was really Bristol's son
BTW, Toni, what's your take on the investigation into firing of Palin's ex-brother-in-law? From here, it seems that she's certainly guilty. Which, in my book, is not even a matter of abuse of power, but of plain stupidity (why risk your career over this obviously vindictive act; it's not like him not having that job would have made it more likely he gave up on the custody battle; and, IMHO, her "cover up" of the whole thing isn't too believable). I had the same reaction way back way to Monicagate, BTW - couldn't care less what Clinton did with whom, but couldn't believe he would risk so much for that, nor that he lied about it so stupidly.
In general, this choice made it neither more nor less likely for me to vote McCain. He did not choose anyone as socially conservative as Huckabee (which would have insured I voted Obama), he chose someone who most certainly has a mind of her own, and while I thought McCain/ Romney would have been a stronger ticket, a McCain/ Palin one is far more likely to be a good working team (McCain has too obvious a disdain for Romney). I have always been a McCain supporter, but must admit that I am having some second thoughts lately. I liked the Economist headline last week - "Bring back the real McCain". I can only second the argument. The McCain I respect wanted new tax cuts but also did not want to make Bush's ones permanent; supported an enlightened immigration policy; was an environmental crusader, etc. With how McCain has been lately, I am probably about 60% likely to vote for him (not that the Massachusetts vote matters anyway).
Of the 4 Pres & VP candidates in question, I'd personally rate their them as follows:
- McCain
- Biden
- Obama
- Palin
Must agree here.She (and everyone who is promoting abstinence-only talk) is risking the lives and health of children and young people everywhere. Young people need to be told how to protect themselves in heterosexual and homosexual relationships, they need to know what's dangerous and what's not, they need to know about the consequences, all the consequences, of unsafe sexual behaviour.

Serving Bowls
Family and friends are gathered around the table, your best dinnerware is set out and the aroma of your favorite foods drift out from the kitchen and fill the whole house. Everyone excitedly comes to the table when you announce that dinner is ready and you bring out platters and bowls filled with everyone's favorite foods. At Pottery Barn, we have a selection of serving bowls in stoneware, porcelain, ceramic, glass, acrylic, melamine, wood and metal that are beautiful enough to bring out for holidays and special events, and that give any meal that special extra touch that turns it into a feast.
Our stoneware dishes for serving offer you the versatility of presenting hot or cold dishes, and they can move from the oven to the table and to the refrigerator or freezer when dinner is over – and then back in the microwave the next day for delectable leftovers. Fill a tureen with savory soup or creamy gravy. Heap a small mountain of mashed potatoes into a heavy dish that helps hold the heat. Fill deep-sided dishes with chips or a colorful, vitamin-rich salad. Stoneware is also dishwasher safe, so cleanup after the meal is finished is a breeze. Choose stoneware serving containers that match your plates, your home's decor or a holiday theme, like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukah.
Add the delicate beauty of porcelain, fine ceramics or glass bowls to your dinner table, and enhance the ambience with choices from our fine selections of tablecloths, placements, napkins and place card holders. Our dishes are durable enough to last for years, easy to care for and they still provide a subtle and elegant touch of grace to your meal. Fill your serving bowls with vegetables in creamy sauces, light and fluffy stuffing or sweet, colorful desserts. The bowls catch the light and practically create an exhibit that puts your best culinary creations on display.
Our selection of acrylic and melamine serveware lets you choose pieces that are beautiful enough for an important banquet yet durable enough to use outdoors. Acrylic and melamine serving vessels can be paired with matching plates and bowls from our dinnerware collection, or you can create your own serving style by choosing serving utensils that complete the look you want for your table. You can fill these dishes with the same savory hot or cold foods you would put in any other serving dishes, and, if the dishes happen to fall or slip from someone's hands during the meal, they are designed to withstand the impact.
Add a natural touch to your table, banquet serving area or your countertop with sturdy wooden bowls from our collection of serveware pieces. Set out plenty of chips and condiments for easy snacking or supply a large, copper lined bowl of fresh fruit to encourage healthy snacking. These bowls wipe clean with a damp cloth and can be used to enhance the decor of a primitive-style room or as conversation pieces. To create a themed table with our wooden pieces, match wooden serving bowls to our trays and stands or one of our sets of cheese boards and knives.
Add a unique and shimmery touch of beauty to your dinner table or serving area with metal bowls that catch and reflect the light. Match the bowls to other serving pieces, or set them up to add contrast to your dinnerware alongside matching metal chargers that rest under plates or glassware. Serve snacks, like mixed nuts, chips or fresh fruit in these elegant and durable metal pieces. Hand wash or wipe the bowls clean with a damp cloth, and dry the surface immediately, and your metal serving dishes will maintain their beauty and shine for years with very little extra care required.

Light Fantastic
February 27, 2010
Here I would like to provide a wonderful documentary complied by the BBC on the story of light, and how it came to change the way we perceive the universe around us. As is the case with these stories about understanding, things are not always as they first seem… Thus I feel it is a good starting point to grasp the idea of how easily we can sometimes be deluded about things we think we know about i.e. how the physical world, human psychology and the physics of light were not as well understood – nor as easy to understand – as we first thought they were… And how the quest for understanding is about the constant revision of knowledge, rather than set dogmatic modes of understanding.
Once again… I take my hat off to the BBC. Many thanks guys and gals!
Light Fantastic explores the phenomenon that surrounds and affects nearly every aspect of our lives but one which we take for granted – light.
Light is why the sea is blue and the grass is green. Without light, there would be no life, no art – there would be nothing. Light is a necessity for human life but we are still trying to understand it…
The greatest names in science – Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Leonardo, and Einstein – have struggled to unravel its mysteries. This is the story of man's attempt to understand the most elusive phenomenon; told through the dramatic reconstruction of events and experiments that have advanced our knowledge and broadened our understanding. From rainbows to photosynthesis, from brown skin to quantum theory, light affects everything.
1. Let There be Light
Greek and Arab scholars, and later Europeans such as Descartes and Newton all tried to understand light to gain a better understanding of God. Episode one shows how much of modern science's origins came from the desire to penetrate the divine nature of light.
2. The Light of Reason
The second programme explores the link between the development of practical tools that manipulate light and the emergence of new ideas. For example, Galileo's observation that the sun did not go around the earth, was made with a telescope that had been invented for Venetian soldiers and traders.
3. The Stuff of Light
Episode three charts the discovery of the true nature of light and its impact on the modern world. All of today's technologies – electricity, mobile communications and our ability to illuminate the world 24 hours a day – stem from unravelling the mystery of light.
4. Light, The Universe and Everything
In the final programme Simon Schaffer finds that as more people were able to manipulate light, the more puzzling and tricky it became. This led to investigations into the strange relationship between light, the eye and the mind, and the development of new technology such as photography and cinema.

Monique Pullan, British Museum
Over the next three months I'll be leading an exciting joint project between conservators and curators from the British Museum and Norwich Castle Museum to uncover the secrets of an ancient Egyptian textile.
The textile, probably a burial shroud, from the collections of Norwich Castle Museum, has been tightly folded into a small bundle ever since it was donated in the1920s by the Colman family of Norfolk.
There is no record of the textile having been unfolded, and little is known about it beyond the fact that it was purchased in Egypt in 1897. But glimpses of hieroglyphic texts, written in black and red inks, make the Egyptologists at both museums very keen to have a better look at the textile in its entirety.
John Taylor, curator of the current British Museum exhibition Journey through the afterlife: ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, believes it may be inscribed with spells from the Books of the Dead, and possibly date from the early 18th dynasty (1550 – 1295 BC ), – over 3,000 years old.
If so, this would make it a very rare and important specimen – but first the bundle needs to be opened up for further investigation.
Up to now, the extremely fragile and fragmentary condition of the textile has meant that researchers have been reluctant to open it out for fear of causing damage. But now, with support from the Partnership UK program to facilitate skills sharing between national and regional museums, the textile will be coming into the British Museum's Department of Conservation and Scientific Research.
Here we've had the unique opportunity to build up specialised skills in the treatment of ancient archaeological textiles, and will work together with members of the Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service conservation team.
From now until the end of March we'll be updating the blog regularly to show how we investigate and conserve the textile, and ultimately discover the identity of this mysterious bundle of cloth. Whether it turns out to be that rare Book of the Dead shroud or not, it will surely have an interesting story to tell.

Hooper comes back to partner Ryan Caldwell in the second row, with Ben Skirving, Francois Louw and Simon Taylor combining in the back row. Ross Batty starts at hooker, with David Flatman and Anthony Perenise packing down either side of him in the front row.
Michael Claassens partners Stephen Donald in the half-backs once more, with Tom Biggs and Olly Woodburn taking their places on the wings. Olly Barkley and Sam Vesty form a new centre pairing, and Nick Abendanon completes the line-up at full-back.
Both sides sit at the top of their pools going into the game, with maximum points being taken in their respective first two fixtures, and will be determined to get one step closer to securing a semi-final place.
"We're looking forward to what we know will be a tough challenge for us, against a strong Northampton Saints squad," said Bath director of rugby, Sir Ian McGeechan.
