Jamie Lynn Spears is being criticized for letting her 5 year old daughter listen to Iggy Azalea
. Appropriate or not?
I ain't watching this one dance. Put Dick Van Dyke back onReplyCancel
Two kids listening to pop music. Quel horror!ReplyCancel
An Iggy Azalea is a type of lizard found living in my air conditioning unit I think.ReplyCancel
I'm with FSP, any relation to Iggy Pop (is that a real person?)ReplyCancel
I do not know. Don't wanna watch right now. But it's her kid so whatever she thinks. I'm sure I've let my daughter listen to bad stuff lol.ReplyCancel
I have not heard an Azalea song yet and am hoping to continue that. Is she like a white Lil Kim or something?ReplyCancel
It's not her daughter understand half of Iggy is saying. They most likely like the eat of the song and the chorus.ReplyCancel
I watched it & didn't think it was particularly scandalous. Five year olds do weird stuff. I thought she looked more spazzy than inappropriate. Pretty standard 5 year old behavior, in my experience. I only raised two children, though, and they're fine, upstanding citizens, so WTF do I know?ReplyCancel
Well, what about those little girls Sophia and Rosie listening to Nicki Minaj? Everyone loved them.ReplyCancel
I was just making a very important comment on 4 for Friday and it disappeared.
People should get on with raising their own children to the best of their ability before judging on other people's efforts. I would never judge. Oh no. Not a judgy bone in my body.
I just can't believe JLS is old enough to be that girl's mom! They're almost the same size!
OT scandalous shit:
Jenna Jameson off her rocker still
Rumors are Kanye is shacking up with Tisci still in Italy and that Kim is in LA, photos of them together are staged blah blah…hmmmmReplyCancel
I'm commentarily fractured, today – sorry.
Frankly, I think it's more injurious being born a Spears than listening to this song.
Nice try Enty.ReplyCancel
I listened to Madonna, Prince, and lots worse when I was little. I would sing lyrics from Darling Nikki like it was no thang.
As long as the parents are in the child's life teaching ethics and giving them love…everything will be all good!
Maybe, it's more about taste than anything else.ReplyCancel
Iggy Pop is real and magnificent (at 66 yrs old)ReplyCancel
If I have a daughter I will introduce her to Tiffanys I think were alone now. Now THATS a tune.ReplyCancel
@Violet – what was in the disappeared item?ReplyCancel
@Orvilla!!! hey girl congradts xo
I use to listen to Darling Nikki as a kid too!!! that's why we so bad…ReplyCancel
@derek you know it!!! 😉ReplyCancel
I got in trouble for bringing a Hole cd to school and the teacher called my mom and she took away my cds for a month. and I was older like 11…ReplyCancel
Sandy, thanks! Music ain't my thang.ReplyCancel
@derek 'and the sky was made of amethyst…'ReplyCancel
haha it wasn't even the good one! It was Celebrity Skin and it wasn't even MY cd it was my older sisters —half the cds that I "owned" were. I remember my sister yelling and screaming where are all my cds? and then I got in MORE trouble for stealing them….ReplyCancel
I'm pretty sure Phil Rizzuto had no idea what he was doing when he did his part of Paradise by the Dashboard Light and he was probably 70 then.ReplyCancel
@derek celebrity skin…haha, nice
@riven ain't nothing wrong with a little Reba, darlin' (((southern twang)))ReplyCancel
My ex boss let his 3yr old watch the first Saw. That's bad parenting. It's not like she's letting her daughter dance to NWA's F*ck the Police. At 5 kids don't really care about the lyrics. It's more about the melody and musicality of the song. I honestly don't think this is a big deal.
As far as the dancing it's typical bopping around. It's not like the mother who taught her 3yr stripper movies and vined it.ReplyCancel
Riven and Derek …kneeling to the northern lightsReplyCancel
I love that song! Nobodys Daughter (her latest) was really good too. I hope she comes out with some more soon…ReplyCancel
When I was four, I new all of the lyrics to Daddy Dewdrop's "Chick-a-Boom". That is, I could sing them. The nurses in the hospital were horrified that I was singing about finding the bottom of a girl's bikini behind the second door. The words meant nothing to me. I also knew "Gypsies, Tramps, & Thieves", Riven.ReplyCancel
Totally inappropriate.
She should switch to Iggy Pop. Start the kids off right in life!ReplyCancel
But the Tiffany song was a remake…
I don't know who Iggy A is, and don't really care. But. Little kids have been singing along for decades to music without having the faintest idea what the lyrics mean. When they get older they realize what they mean, just like the hidden jokes in old Warner Brothers cartoon.
I think a kid being told she's doing something wrong when she'd only singing and dancing along would do far greater damage to her psyche than the song lyrics would. (Like that Utah high school that randomly photoshopped sleeves onto fairly modest sleeveless shirts… assholes)ReplyCancel
She's* GDIReplyCancel
When I was 13, my language and history teacher put punk music in the class so we could see their political bias (he agreed with them) and their metaphors and other language things.
Iggy Azalea' lyrics are lame compared to that (and many things the kid probably listens everyday).ReplyCancel
Wait hold up! Is this song by IA called 'Fancy' too? Cause if so that's a total coincidence on my part. I didn't watch the video posted and I don't know who this chick is.
As my new broski @Orvilla identified, I was referencing the original and only valid song called 'Fancy.' Which happens to be by the Queen Reba McEntire and is 20 years old.
@Charlie I could never decide whether I wanted to be a gypsy, tramp or a thief. I find it amusing in retrospect that my RPG and D&D characters are always bards, assassins or thieves.
I also got in trouble for singing "Half-Breed" in elementary school. Seriously between my mom's music and my dad's horror films and video games, I'm surprised I made it this long without getting arrested.ReplyCancel
At that age my kid was watching Seinfeld … and Barney.ReplyCancel
@Riven Hugs!ReplyCancel
Kids don't even know what the hell they are singing along to anyways. Parents who get upset about it only make the kids curious about something that would have gone over their heads otherwise.
I know an idiot who was horrified her little daughter used to sing "I kissed a girl" by Katy Perry. Who cares? The kid was like four, she probably thought it was about Katy kissing her mom or her grandma or something!ReplyCancel
I used to belt out "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" in the front yard when I was 5. With a towel wrapped around my head for hair, a jump rope microphone, my bikini top and my mom's chunky-heeled sandals.
My encore was "Seasons In The Sun" in the driveway on my Romper Stompers.
What a weird little kid I was!ReplyCancel
Ok I don't have kids, however my BFF (she turned me on to this site and used to be a regular) has 3 that she loans me whenever I get the motherly urge. She laid down the ground rules as follows: do not expose them to anything I would be ashamed to show my great grandmother after church. It's worked so far, except for that one time the 7 y.o. girl fell and yelled she broke her penis. Damn Family Guy!ReplyCancel
@ Riven–sorry to burst your bubble but Reba's version of Fancy was not the original. Bobby Gentry put out that song in the early 70s. Most little kids are moved by the beat, not the lyrical content. There is nothing too scandalous, or horrendous about the video…although I do question the taste in music…so says the mother that used to sing 80's power ballads to her baby to put her to sleep.ReplyCancel
Low, that's too funny!! Me too!ReplyCancel
Since people are talking about music from when they were kids, here's a funny story about me and my Dad going to buy a single.
We are the World was huge, I'm sure everyone remembers it and probably had the 45. One day my Dad decided he wanted to get it so he and I went to Kmart to pick it up. First I had to go to the toy section and scam him into buying me a Transformer (it always worked, I was using guilt to get them but still it worked and I always got the figures I wanted. I would just tell him that I could play with them while he was at work at night and he could see them during the day and think of me while I was at school. I think I was an evil kid lol)
Anyway, then we made it to the record section since I had gotten my Galvatron figure. We found the We are the World single and I started looking through the other records. I was just 9 at the time so I didn't pay attention to bands or really watch much MTV, I knew the big ones, The Beatles, Stones, KISS, Van Halen, etc. but newer stuff i had no idea about. So I find this one record with a white cover and four really ugly women on it. I asked my Dad why anyone would put them on a record they were trying to sell and he had no idea who they were and agreed that the picture wouldn't help sell many albums.
Cut to a few months later during Summer and I'm listening to the radio a lot since I was out of school. I hear a couple of songs that just were really awesome to 9 year old Chris. I call the radio station and find out the name of the band so I can buy their album (this was back in the day when radio stations had real DJ's and not just morning zoo guys. You could call the booth and talk to them during songs. Imagine trying to do that now lol) The DJ tells me the name of the band and what the album is called. Me and my Dad go up to Kmart (at the time, they had the biggest music department of all the retail stores not solely dedicated to music) and we look for it. Dad finds it and starts cracking up so I go and see what's so funny. The band and the album was the one with the four really ugly women we made fun of a few months before but Dad bought it for me anyway.
I open it on the ride home and start reading the liner notes (God I miss that) and discover the "women's" names were Bret, Bobby, Rikki and CC. Poison: Look What the Cat Dragged In was the album. I honestly thought they were gay until their next album came out, but hey, I didn't care if they were gay, I loved Culture Club back then and you had to have an IQ in the single digits to not realize Boy George was gay. The album rocked and Poison became my second favorite band behind KISS and they still are. I learned a lesson that day, no two lessons, 1) Don't judge a book by it's cover and 2) Bobby Dall cannot pull off drag.ReplyCancel
Ah nostalgia I remember we drove our poor mother crazy when I was 5, my siblings and I only knew 2 songs from the radio, Itzy Bitzy Bikini and Herman Hermits, I'm Henry the VII I am. The lyrics are seared into my brain. Speaking of songs some of us were too young to understand at the time, what about the Kinks Lola. When I was 10 and got my own portable radio, this was a big deal, I used to listen to the Top 40 every week and write the list up.ReplyCancel

Back in April, you may recall an Aussie businessman had a brain explosion on Facebook calling Kiwis "retarded".
This and his other unbelievable comments that women had "no place in business or politics" and describing his Prime Minister as a peasant, were widely reported and condemned as ignorant and insensitive. You can guess what happened to him.
So how come celebrity economist Gareth Morgan got away with describing the Federation as "retards" over and over in an online rant?
At least The Hound at Rural News and even new Truth editor, Cameron Slater, called him up on it. But they are the exceptions. Despite the storm when similar words were used over the Tasman, the silence from the Kiwi media pack is deafening.
Morgan let rip because Federated Farmers appealed the Environment Court's One Plan decision. According to Morgan, farmers should kneel and genuflect before the council's plan.
Of course, the column was written before a Landcare Research report revealed the plan's costings were so off the mark Apple Maps could have thrown them together.
According to the council, farm profitability would only have suffered financial impacts of between about five per cent to just under 17 per cent. However, when the Government asked Landcare to run its ruler over the One Plan, they came up with impacts of between 22 per cent and 43 per cent. No wonder the Federation has called this 'Farmergeddon'.
Morgan is meant to be an intelligent economist, but how does destroying farms help economic progress, or the environment for that matter? Maybe George Orwell was right, "there are some ideas so wrong, that only a very intelligent person could believe in them".
Let us hope the New Year brings better news. Farm safe this Christmas.
The Offal Pit is an opinion editorial not necessarily reflecting the views or policies of Federated Farmers.

Notre appartement etait bien situe, propre et assez bien équipe'. Mais l'isolation aussi bien acoustique que thermique était vraiment insuffisante pour ne pas dire inexistante. Et comme l'immeuble était occupé par des gens bruyants, cela a posé quelques problèmes. Heureusement qu'il n'a pas fait trop froid au cours de notre séjour!
Обзор других предложений от этого хозяина
Я рекомендую эту квартиру очень хорошо расположен в Манхэттене. Это просторный, мы были 7 человек. Описание соответствует действительности. Не беспокойтесь, чтобы получить ключи, Wi-Fi работает ... Малый мере одна ванная комната для 4 спальни это слишком мало, и 2 номера имеют вид на крошечном внутреннем дворе не очень чистый. В противном случае приятный отдых ....
Je conseille cet appartement très bien situé dans Manhattan. Il est spacieux, nous étions 7 personnes. La description est conforme à la réalité. Aucun soucis pour récupérer les clefs, le wifi fonctionne ... Les petits moins, 1 salle de bain pour 4 chambres c'est trop peu et 2 des chambres ont une vue sur la minuscule cour intérieur pas très propre. Sinon agréable séjour ....
The rented apartment, advertized on the platform wimdu.de as "Luxus-LOFT 3 Schlafzimmer, 2 Bäder – Ausstattung" ("Luxury LOFT 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths – Equiped") had several serious defects and deviations from the published specifications. The use of the apartment as described in the ad was not possible, leading to additional unplanned costs and expenses. As per the terms and conditions, all problems were promptly reported and well documented by photographs.
The shortcomings in detail:
• Severe uncleanliness (including bed sheets, towels, bathroom, kitchen, refrigerator, floors) and other serious hygiene issues throughout the entire apartment
• No Wi-Fi or Internet access, a direct deviation from the terms of reference in your ad
• Toilet was broken/defective – the tank ran constantly
• Air conditioning unit did not work (it was masked)
• Soiled linens and bedding
• One of the bedrooms had no bedding whatsoever (due to the low temperatures it was not possible to stay overnight)
• Soiled towels
• Dirty, foul-smelling refrigerator – completely non-usable
• Non-usable cabinets (misconstruction)
• Dirty floors throughout the apartment and in particular the bathrooms
• Dirty windows
• The trash was never emptied
• There were defective doorknobs which would fall out of the door
• There was no laundry detergent
• The clocks were defective
• TVs did not work – all four of them
No promised on-site support was received from you as the responsible US agency. No support was received at any time, no action was taken to address any of the shortcomings. A selection of the submitted photographs can be found in the appendix to my e-mail.
Never again!
Windu is the most expensive website to rent an apartment on the face of the earth. Based on an email sent by CityKit (Management Company of the property) the actual cost of the apartment was $2001.00 for 7 days but we paid to Windu 2,421.21. This means 420 (20%) commission. Making this type of commission could be typical in the industry but letting the client to find out about it is very unprofessional. Hiding key information like the location of the apartment is no very professional either (third floor without elevator) Later we realized the apartment was in poor shape and not properly maintained, CityKit totally ignored our request for simple things missing like extra cover and linen for the sofa bed or to send a technician to fix a huge leak on the bathroom sink. Definitely I won't recommend Wimdu to a friend.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Great location, but it is not really a 1BR apartment, It's a very small place, well locatedand clean. But when you add in all the costs (e.g. Wimdu booking fee) and hassle (driving back and forth to guest services for the key, TV not working) you wonder if it would have been more convenient to stay in a hotel.
Had a great stay in this apt. Everything went smooth, picking up the keys and finding the apt. It was clean and has everything you possibly need. Don't forget to take earplugs :) It's on the second floor, so you're right in the middle of all the sounds from the city. Been here with 4 adults and it's big enough. Location was great, subway just 3 blocks down, grocerystore around the corner... Would stay here again
I would like to have 2 sets of towels for 1 week !
Very good location and good size apartment with all the necessities for our party of 8 people. Quite a few restaurants nearby and a subway station just down the street. We had a problem with the radiators that wouldn't stop heating and one of them had a broken knob. We called the agency who were very nice and helpful and sent a man to fix it - it didn't help though... Also it was litterally painful to shower in the apartment because of the water temperature that was constantly changing between either ice cold or burning hot, and that caused us quite a bit of frustration during our stay.
Besides from that the apartment was very nice and clean and with plenty of towels and we enjoyed our stay!
The location of the apartment (Thompson Street/Houston Street) is very good, subway stations are quite nearby and there are lots of supermarkets, shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.
The flat is located on the 3rd floor which is not very convenient with luggage because there is no elevator; unfortunately it could have been cleaner.

I think last night to kick off the 2012 series of The X Factor there have been some auditions that I thought they were right to say yes to and right to say no to...
I would say that audition from Jahmene Douglas the judges were right to say yes to it I think that Jahmene Douglas has got what it takes to go through to the X Factor finals he has the voice, likeability factor and appeal to sell debuit singles and albums on the same scale that Olly Murs and JLS would in today's record market and also has a enticing backstory where he works at a branch in ASDA in Swindon I think he could of been 1 of the biggest reality stars of the past 5 years and also me being a rapper from Swindon MCjakeqcool I think that he could be 1 of the biggest artists from the Town I certainly think that he could be the 1st act since Billie Piper in 1998 to score a number 1 single an if he is not cheated by his mentor like Steeve Brookstein was back in 2004 he could have a more longevity career then Billie Piper did in the late 90s an early 00s at least his singing career ok maybe not his acting career however if he does have a more longevity career then Billie Piper then his life could be subject to a movie like 50 Cent who has collaborated with X Factor judge/mentor Nicole Scherzinger on top 5 hit Right There who's film based on his life was Get Rich or Die Tryin' I think good choice there for a yes from Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Nicole Scherzinger I think he will go far not just during the contest but after the contest which makes the difference between some1 like Jedward who was sucsessful after the show an Lucie Jones who was not although she had a minor 107 hit in 2010 with Girls Just Wanna Have Fun for Race For Life with Nina Wadia, Kym Marsh, Caroline Quentin, Danielle Lloyd, Sonique, Lucy Benjamin and Nicola T although it did not sell as many records as Jedward's 2010 number 2 hit Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby) which featured Vanilla Ice, 2010 number 80 hit All The Small Things or 2011 number 40 hit Lipstick although it did sell more copies then 2012 hit Waterline which peaked at number 122 in the official UK singles top 200
I think also that the judges Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Mel B(more about her later) were right to say yes to Ella Henderson I think that she has excellent song writing skills and a brilliant voice an I think that she is better then any act to ever audition on the X Factor an she should have a long lasting career that no reality tv star has had since Will Young and Girls Aloud from Pop Idol and Popstars: The Rivals shows which pre-date the X Factor I think the fact she wrote her own song which she sung well enough to be on a winner's single will make her have what no X Factor act has had before what I call a longevity career where a singer can have top 10 hits more then 5 years after after the releace of there're debut single/album not even acts such as Shayne Ward or Alexandra Burke who sold 1 million+ copies with That's My Goal and Hallelujah can do that similarly where Leona Lewis could be number 1 for as much as 7 weeks in 2007 in 2011 she can barely scrape the top 10 it's not just the voice or the X Factor it's that she can write material singer song writer Rebecca Black and Big Brother star come singer song writer Chanelle Hayes both sold more records then band Jahm because they wrote there're own material and I also think that her song is a tribute that her late Grandad would be proud of an I think that he would be proud that she is going to be if the judges mentor her correctly and give her a record deal to her potential she will be the biggest act ever to come out of the X Factor an the fact alone she could be the biggest act ever to come out of the X Factor plus other perks to be taken into consideration is reason enough for the judges to have done the right thing by saying yes to Ella Henderson
I said more about Mel B later now here it is I think that judge Mel B was a awful judge on the X Factor I think that she was wrong to say no to Curtis Golden who I think had not only a finalist worthy voice but also finalist worthy personality an finalist worthy image as a nerd an I think that he got go far on the show an I think that if Mel B was a mentor she would make no money as she would have no acts that prove popular with the public she appears to want a act that can pick up high and low notes on a voice but image is also part of the X Factor, I think she would dis the Spice Girls if she got the chance lol! I think she carried on being comparatively abysmal with her judging an I think she contributed to turning down a act Lea who could have proved popular with voting public if he had got through bootcamp as he was a 82 year old man which I think would be a perk which would help him gain votes to become a comparatively popular novelty act to the likes of Wagner Carrilho an Johnny Robinson from 2010 and 2011's series of the X Factor I think she was told she would be sacked if she did say yes to Ella Henderson the only redeeming feature in the entire time she was judge I think all the time she was judge Nicole Scherzinger or any other judge should have been judge
I think that Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Nicole Scherzinger were right to say no to Zoe Alexander I think that along with 2009's audition from Triple Trouble, 2010's audition from Ablisa and 2011's audition from George Gerasimou from Triple Trouble that Zoe Alexander's audition was 1 of the worst auditions on the X Factor an to be honest the worst of a bad bunch at least George Gerasimou could walk of stage with out attacking the camera man I think that despite the fact that copying other people's music if you have been on the X Factor is a guaranteed way to be successful sell records and make money for the act's X Factor mentor and the act doing vocals on the record respectively that Zoe Alexander's dysfunctional psychopath personality is to objectionable for her to get the public's vote at this time plus she would probally get kicked out of bootcamp for GBH or murder or something worse infact tbh f**k it ppl aint even gonna watch her doing her Pink tribute any more
Apart from Mel B being a awful judge I was also the most disappointed I have ever been with a decision on the X Factor ever when Sheyi Omatayo was given 4 nos by judges the whole audience booed every time Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Nicole Scherzinger said no to Sheyi Omatayo which speaks volumes he would have not only got votes as he is not only unique an would be subject to many votes as a novelty act as per the likes of Wagner Carrilho an Johnny Robinson from 2010 and 2011's series but and this is a BIG BUT he would be better then both of them as he is more talented then them Wagner an Johnny the have the X Factor but not the voice of Louis Armstrong who was number 1 for 4 weeks in 1968 with What A Wonderful World/Cabaret but more then that Louis Walsh thinks he is better then the original... NUFF SAID.
That is my opinion on the acts who should and should not of gone through in the X Factor auditions on August 18th 2012 now people from all around the world let me know yours, thanks MCjakeqcool

Irani restaurants and Poppy tea
Of recent, the Irani tea shop Leopold came to limelight with the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, but this is more a pleasant reminiscence of that genre of eating places, which I am sure, will soon fade away with the onslaught of different eating habits and the fast food genre of eateries. Curiously it was only last week that I saw the Antony Bourdain's new show 'No reservations', about his culinary trip to Kerala (you can see clips on youtube). In the show his guides explain the purpose of a tea shop in Kerala to the awestruck Antony, as to how one gupchupped, gossiped and spent time in a tea shop, making it a kind of social event, not a place to just walk in buy or gulp tea and leave in a jiffy.
Well, one did the same in a Irani tea shop in Mumbai, once upon a time and I guess they still do, if only they had the time they seem to still have in Kerala, which I am sure they in Bombay do not, for in Kerala they have time for all kinds of nonsense, especially if it is anything to do with finding fault with somebody else, notably politicians and public servants. Much of the public actions that emanate are germinated in these tea shops, they seem to stimulate the activist gene, I suppose. But that is Kerala, not Mumbai, and as you can see I am drifting now…
We would, a couple of decades ago, walk down from Nariman point, down Madam Cama road, beyond the university grounds, turn right to Colaba and head to Loepold or another Irani café along the causeway, have a 'bun muska and omelet' and then hopefully see a movie at Regal. Some days I slipped out & met my cousin who lived in the flats next to the petrol pump behind Regal or meandered towards the gateway of India to watch the pigeons and tourists wandering about and dream of spending a day in the glorious Taj hotel (which I did many years later), the entrance of which was guarded by a fierce mustachioed Sikh with a double barreled shotgun.
I will not discuss the Irani restaurants in great detail, for they are very well written about in a three part blog by a blogger in Golden ripples. But I have to make it clear that the Irani restaurants are not actually Parsi restaurants though they are synonymous with Parsi's. These Irani's were later generation Zorastrian Iranians, unlike the Paris who were the original Zorastrians who came to India. Parsis and Iranis are legally distinct, based in part on a 1909 obiter dictum that, among many other issues relating to the Indian Zoroastrians, also observed that Iranis were not obliged to uphold the decisions of the then-regulatory Parsi Panchayat. In other words, they are 'same-same but different' with a 1000 year landing gap in India.
But then ambience of these cafes need to be reintroduced and the scene set briefly before I get to the main topic. These cafes do not go all the way back to the 8th-10th century Parsi entry into India, but much later into the 18th century when the Irani's came. Borrowing text from Wikipedia which quotes
Naomi Lobo has traced the background of these cafes as: "When the Zoroastrian Iranians came to India in the 19th century, they had no riches and were in search of a better livelihood. Bombay, at that time, was already home to another Zoroastrian community, the Parsis. A couple of Iranians worked in Parsi homes as caretakers and met in the evenings to discuss the life they had left behind, and their future prospects. One evening, a man served tea to everyone and charged them a small amount. The result: A business was born, of serving tea. And this was the beginning of an Irani café.
The marble-topped tables and the black stylish cane chairs (known as 'Welcome' chairs, specially imported from Belgium and Poland) became symbolic of the Irani hotel scene.
Was that just hogwash? Was there something to it? How did the concept of mixing tea and opium get popular? Was it perhaps a leftover from the Dutch & the Portuguese settlers, probably the former who brought in Opium to Malabar?
I guess you all know about the involvement of the Jews of Bombay with the opium trade, I won't get into it in great detail, but it is a rich and long story of the 19th century Sassoon family (Sassoon docks Mumbai is named after them) and many the rich Parsi and Jewish traders in Shanghai who controlled the global trade. By the 1820s a large number of Parsis, Marwaris, Gujarati Banias and Konkani Muslims had moved into the opium trade at Mumbai. Of the 42 foreign firms operating in China at the end of the 1830s, 20 were fully owned by Parsis. This effect was evident in the geographical make up of the city. It was the Parsis, many of them beneficiaries of opium's huge profits, who developed South Bombay. It was primarily opium that linked Bombay to the international capitalist economy and the western Indian hinterland in the nineteenth century. (For more info read Opium City - The Making of Early Victorian Bombay By Amar Farooqui).Indigenous shipping and opium trade too were closely interlinked. Parsis in China were recognizable by their appearance, dress and customs, and were known as white heads for the wearing of white head gear. Opium consumption was noticeable, especially among the bone tired working class and was popular with certain sections of the community.
So a lot of people made money, a lot of people were unhappy about them making money and a lot of others were envious. Whatever said and done, the rumor mills worked overtime and the rumor spread in Bombay. It was soon such a big issue that the British joint commission deliberated on it in 1894. One JM Campbell, the commissioner of opium, enquired into the matter. The story is certainly interesting, but then before that I have to tell you about Poppy tea.
Leaving this topic for a while, we see that the British settled down in India, realized that opium business is big indeed and started cultivating it in Bengal (Malwa in Western India already had it, but it was controlled by the Princes of the region). The EIC had a monopoly over the Bengal produce and shipped it to China which was the main user (Malwa Opium was exported to China even before by the Portuguese). Now that is also another long story and you will recall from my previous blog that George Orwell's papa was one of those Opium inspectors in Bengal. So Opium and tea were the mainstays of the British East India Company. They had a whole department taking care of this lucrative and sensitive but dark business and that is how Mr JM Campbell got involved in this sordid story in 1894.
The whole furor over tea shops and opium was started by one Miss Sunderbai Powar in 1892. She struggled for 2 years to get herself and the 'Sunderbai Powar message' heard by the authorities in India and England.
The Soonderbai Powar message & its disposal
Soonder bai said - That thousands of high caste women die of starvation in their dark zenana rooms because their husbands ruin themselves by smoking in licensed opium dens; that young men are led to smoke opium through the wiles of the opium farmer who sets his servants at the street corners furnished with opium pipes to tempt the youths to smoke; that they (apparently either the opium officials or the opium farmer) quietly mix opium with our tea in refreshment rooms and in hotels, so that a craving for opium arises and before we know what we are doing we shall become slaves of opium.
As the alleged writer. Miss Soonderbai Powar, was born in or near Poona, and has spent almost her whole life in Poona or in Bombay, it follows that these statements referred either to Poona or to Bombay. As each of these statements involved serious charges against the management of the opium revenue in Bombay my duty required me to examine into their truth. Inquiries made through the commissioner of police and the health officer of the municipality failed to reveal any foundation for them, except that, in respect to the third statement, it appeared that there had been a rumour, some two years ago, that certain Irani, that is, Persian Parsi, tea-house keepers, put poppy heads in their tea to darken its colour. As Mr. Almon, the assistant collector of abkari, could procure me independent information, and also as he is responsible for hotel and refreshment room licenses, and under the Abkari Act has power to deal with infringements of the Opium Act, I asked him to make inquiry into the truth of the rumour that poppy heads were sometimes put in tea.
The result of these inquiries was that Mr. Almon failed to find that the rumour had any foundation in fact. Mr. Almon suggested to me that, as is usual in such cases, he might obtain from Miss Soonderbai in Poona the individual who made the statement, information regarding the practice which he hail failed to obtain in Bombay. The letter given above was written with that object and with my knowledge. In reply, Mr. Almon was informed that his friend could not arrange a visit, but that a reference might be made to the Rev. A. W. Prautch, of Thana, to whom his friend was forwarding Mr. Almon's letter, and who his friend wrote would probably know Miss Soonderbai and might arrange an interview. On hearing of Mr. Prautch's connection with the matter I decided to make no further inquiry. Mr. Prautch's statement in the letter to the Chairman, that after the receipt of his friend's communication Mr. Almon called on the witness who declined to see him is, I am informed, without foundation
I have the honour to be,
Sir, Your most obedient servant,
J.M CAMPBELL, Collector of Opium.
But was that true or a whitewash? It had all the looks of a royal whitewash for Soonderbai was a well regarded and much regaled person. A later testimony of sorts came from a tea stall keeper, much after Indian independence. This again is heresy, so take it with a pinch of salt….
The Kayanai and Co Irani tea stall owner provides some more details of the event.
In about 1952 an Irani had a café, and this man used to put kus-kus (poppy) in the tea. And believe it or not, the taxiwallahs who were running the taxi, they used to go there and take their tea always, otherwise they were not happy with their tea. Then one by one, all the cafes started kus-kus tea, we had it here at Kayani, finally the Municipality came to know about it and they stopped it. It is prohibited. The Municipality will take your license and you have to go behind the bar if you tried that now. When Britishers were here, they were foreigners, we Iranis were also foreigners, we got friendly treatment when we went to the government departments; they knew that we were new here, we were also foreigners, so they said "you have to stop putting that in the tea", and we did.
The Irani restaurants however are a dying breed for they are now afflicted with another malady, the eaters penchant for South Indian quickie healthy food like idlis and dosas, compared to liberal dabs of butter on fresh 'pav' with a double omlete – Mahadevan explains in his blog how they have given way to suave Shettys and their udupi restaurants. As he says, the dull looking fair complexioned Irani's proved to be of no match to the enterprising Sadanand Shetty's. And he puts it aptly, stating 'Unlike Udipi hotels, in Irani Restaurants we spend more time and less money.
But then there is always the scene from OATIM that you can go back to or see one of the Basu chatterjee movies with the Parsees. There is bound to be an Irani restaurant in some scene that you can relate to…

Very exhaustive treatise. I know for certain that even in smaller towns tea shops used to boil the bark of poppy plant and mix it with tea. Tribals in Bastar also used to boil the bark in water and relished the drink although it was bitter in taste.

ya irani restaurants are a legend indeed ,the Buharis opposite presidency college chennai was also a similar one we have whiled many afternoons skipping zoology class in its emptiness ,one remembers the plate of fresh cakes they would place with the tea to tempt !
- Maddy said...August 17, 2010
Sankunny M says
My memory goes to 69-70 to Bombay when I read Iranian restaurants .The first things that struck when I enter their restaurant is the wooden chair , marble top table , large glass jars with cakes and of course a PHOTOGRAPHS OF THEIR GOD may Zoroaster near the cash counter. My favorite spots were , 1 opposite church gate station, 2, on the way to my office YAGAKSHEMA some what opposite HP petroleum HQ., and AIR Bombay(B.R), of course one at Matunga/Dadar.
I remember with tea they will place a typical glass ware , on the top of it some cakes. While billing they will have look on it and charge for the MISSING items!.

Yeah, Irani restaurants are fabulous. A part of Bombay was lost when the "big one" closed. Thanks for the interesting post

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is the first film collaboration for Russian Filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov and Oscar-nominated Cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, ASC. Their ultimate goal is to transport the film's audiences to the times and places where Lincoln's vampire story occurs — and their ultimate challenge was to make the vampires feel frighteningly real. "Abraham Lincoln is among the most fascinating persons in American history," says Deschanel. "This film is obviously an extreme fictional revision of reality. Seth Grahame-Smith wrote the novel and also co-authored the screenplay. A main theme is that Lincoln was motivated by the fact that a vampire killed his mother when he was 10 years old."
Deschanel's research included reading and referencing pictures from approximately 25 books found in libraries and bookstores about Lincoln and the Civil War. "The American Civil War was thoroughly documented by Mathew Brady, Timothy O'Sullivan and other great photographers," notes Deschanel. "The pictures they took gave us insights into what things were like at the time." During preproduction, Deschanel watched and discussed movies about Lincoln and vampires with Bekmambetov, who is known for his epic vampire films Night Watch and Day Watch. "There have been vampires in movies from the earliest days of the industry," Deschanel observes. "They have ranged from completely schlocky to fairly sophisticated and fascinating. Obviously, you try to adhere to the sense of the things that existed during the period."
Produced in Louisiana and shot mostly around New Orleans, the story of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter takes place during Lincoln's early years in Illinois and his political life in Washington, D.C. Bekmambetov and Deschanel shot with film in addition to using digital imaging technologies. The movie's fight and slow-motion scenes were shot in Super 35 film format at 60 frames per second with an ARRI 435 film camera. All other scenes were recorded digitally with an ARRI ALEXA. Deschanel reports that Production Designer François Audouy and Gaffer Paul Olinde both played important roles in achieving the film's look. "We worked together creating elements that help tell the story from a visual point of view in terms of settings, lighting and everything else," says the DP. "If it was a night scene, it was [filmed by] candlelight or firelight with the right flickering effect. If it was day, it was daylight."
While the streets of New Orleans had the right look for the film's storyline, the production had to be very careful because the city's architecture is "sort of" French Colonial with some Spanish influences. "We had to find the right places that had elements which felt appropriate for Washington, D.C. and Illinois when the story was happening," says Deschanel. "That was the most difficult part. We found places and, when necessary, François altered them so they look appropriate. The good stages were all taken, [so] we ended up building sets in an old building that was once a warehouse. It was noisy during thunderstorms, because it has a tin roof." Deschanel adds that he joined the production a bit late. "They were already building some sets and had made decisions about where we were going to film scenes," he explains. "François and I got along really great. He made some alterations to the size of windows and the placement of things to accommodate lighting. We had a very good relationship, and he did a very good job." One of the challenges of shooting in Louisiana was that the land is very flat. "It was hard to find any kind of hills," the DP recalls. "We had a scene that takes place on a cliff overlooking a riverbed, [but] that location didn't exist in or near New Orleans. [Second Unit DP] Giorgio Scali shot some backgrounds on location, and we built a big cliff outside behind our stage in New Orleans."
Deschanel feels that audiences will enjoy Benjamin Walker's performance as Abe Lincoln because the actor is simply "great" in the role. "When he delivers the Gettysburg Address, you really feel like you are there while it was happening," says the DP, who also credits the contributions made by Makeup Artist Greg Cannom, who has four Academy Awards. "The makeup was extraordinary. You can see Lincoln transform as he ages. I remember the first day [Walker] came on the set as the Abe Lincoln we know with a full beard. [And] Marton Csokas plays one of the vampires, [and] that aspect of the movie took on a life of its own. It was fascinating making a historical film with vampires and finding the right mix of genres."
Deschanel says that much of the movie is told through Lincoln's point of view. The film's scenes were captured with two cameras and sometimes more, depending upon what was happening. "We'd do a medium shot with one camera with a second one slightly off angle or maybe a little bit tighter, rather than at cross angles, to keep the lighting consistent," he explains. The cameras were generally on dollies or cranes, but battle scenes and other action sequences were shot with handheld cameras. The cinematographer's palette of films were KODAK VISION 5219 500T color negative for interior and night scenes and KODAK VISION 5213 200D for daylight exteriors.
Deluxe Labs in Los Angeles processed the negative and provided dailies on Blu-ray Discs, and Deschanel used a projector and a 6-foot screen to watch dailies in his hotel room. "You discover things when you watch dailies that you didn't realize, because when you are shooting you are always to some extent influenced by the emotions and energy on the set," notes the DP. "I think there is a tendency when you shoot digitally to think you've seen it, but, often, you've seen it with a certain kind of attitude that you have while you are shooting, which is full of energy. You're not really seeing it as an audience. Watching dailies helps because you are separated from it by a day or two. I believe that's really valuable." Deschanel is also invested in the editing phase of the film. "To me, a movie doesn't exist until it's edited," he says. "The way it's cut together affects every scene. Until you see that, you can't make the final decisions about what a movie should look like." The film's digital intermediate was timed by Deschanel and Bekmambetov in collaboration with Colorist Dave Cole at Laser Pacific in L.A.

I don't usually come up with strange conspiracy theories like this one but if you hear me out I believe this one may have promise although I am very bad at explain these things.
My theory is that Ace has a twin sister called Ann, mainly because I believe that every single thing that was said in the flashback has deep meaning (Which is very much like Oda).
In the Portgaz D. Rouge flashback she said "If it's a girl I'll call it Anne" which has made me think for awhile maybe there is more to it especially since the scene was shrouded in mystery and like we know from the "Brother Vow" flashback not all the pieces of the puzzle were there (Sabo)
You are now allowed to call me a nut job. Thank you for listening!

The Emery High Spartan football team opened the 2011 football season with a win. Last Friday night, Emery easily defeated Richfield 27-0 as the Spartans controlled both sides of the ball and won the game against the favored Wildcats.
Emery had 375 yards of total offense while holding Richfield to a total of 66 yards of offense in the game. Out of the 375 yards of offense for Emery, 271 if those yards came on the ground and 104 yards came through the air.
Emery received the opening kickoff at their own 20-yard line and consumed nearly seven minutes of the opening quarter marching down the field until the drive stalled at the Wildcat 30 yard line. Emery ran 14 plays in the drive. The two teams battled to a 0-0 tie after the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Emery scored on a 26-yard pass from quarterback Spencer Labrum to receiver David Dyer to culminate an 81-yard drive. This drive was 13 plays long. Emery's Jesse Winn had scored earlier on about a 50-yard run only to have it called back because of an Emery penalty. Cory Cox kicked the extra point and Emery led at the half 7-0.
In the third quarter, Richfield received the kickoff and punted after four plays. Emery scored quickly as Labrum again hit Dyer and Dyer scored on a 50-yard play. Extra point was no good and Emery led 13-0.
Emery scored again the next time they had the ball. Dyer, from his receiver position, ran the ball on a reverse, picked up 38 yards and Emery would score on a 10-yard run by halfback Nathan Thompson. Extra point was good and Emery led 20-0 after the third quarter.
Emery's Dominic Rondinelli had a 41-yard run in the fourth quarter for the final touchdown and after Cox's extra point kick was good, Emery led 27-0.
The Emery rushing game was led by Rondinelli with 99 yards on 14 carries. Rondinelli is a sophomore running back. Junior Cory Cox, from the fullback position, ran the ball 11 times and picked up 54 yards. Thompson ran the ball eight times and picked up 50 yards and Jesse Winn ran the ball nine times and picked up 28 yards. Winn did have one long run called back.
Labrum attempted eight passes in the game and completed six of those passes. Dyer caught three for a total of 94 yards and two touchdowns. Cory Cox caught two for four yards and Winn caught the other for six yards.
The Emery defense was led by their four linebackers as is expected. Defensive lineman do the dirty work up front and get rid of blockers while the linebackers get to clean up with tackles. Emery's two inside backers of Geren Payne and Brett Sorenson each recorded eight tackles in the game. Emery's two outside backers of Winn and Dyer each had five tackles in the game. Sophomore cornerback Bailey Faimalo recorded the games only interception and Faimalo also recovered a Wildcat fumble.
Emery will play their final preseason game this Friday at home against Uintah. Uintah lost last weekend 37-0 to Stansbury.
The 2-A North region, of which Emery is a member, went 7-1 in the opening weekend of football play. In games of note, Manti defeated Delta at Delta 28-14 and Millard defeated North Sanpete 44-13.
North Summit, South Summit, Gunnison and American Leadership also won while North Sevier had the only loss in a game against Kanab.

The TDR method is based on determining the propagation time of
an electromagnetic pulse traveling along a probe segment in the
soil. The TDR device first measures the round-trip time for the
pulse to travel to the beginning of the segment, which is
indicated by the presence of a diode. Then the round-trip
propagation time to the end of the segment is measured. The
resulting value is used to determine the dielectric constant of
the material. This value, when compared to the dielectric
constant of pure water and mineral soil, will indicate the
amount of water found in the medium.

So So
I don't think Sasuke was ever va sacrifice, as far as his clan was concerned. Itachi may have worried about Sasuke being indoctrinated into his clan's ideals (isolation, arrogance, hatred passed down through generations), but I don't think killing siblings to obtain the Mangekyou was particularly common... maybe relative to other clans, simply because the Uchiha have the potential to gain power from it.
The thing Sasuke is puzzling on is oddly intriguing, and I hope the answer is not something trite and underwhelming.
For Sasuke, after all his Raging and going nigh insane, both from anger at Konoha and despair at Itachi's death, Sasuke is forced by Itachi's steadfast insistence on defending Konoha in spite of how much they wronged him, to at least try to discover what it was that Itachi was willing to give up his freedom, his good name, and his happiness for. Sasuke has gone so far as to bring back the 4 Hokages to do this.
What I wonder is whether the Answers Hashirama and Yondaime give him are going to be any different from the things we already know. Like for instance:
What is a Shinobi ? Answer: A shinobi is someone who endures and keeps vigil over the safety of the Village, and protects the unborn generations to come.
What is a Village? A village is a cocoon of safety, a nursery for raising the future generations.
What is a Clan? A clan is A family unit that joins together with other clans to comprise the Village, each clan contributing from its unique attributes to the betterment of the Village.
I guess the question I want to ask is whether Sasuke shouldn't know this already, and whether Hashirama can tell him anything different that he doesn't/or shouldn't already know?
Assuming that Sasuke really knows what he wants, then perhaps the answer he needs is not necessarily what he is asking, but rather the background and circumstances surrounding the Things he is asking about. As we see in this chapter, Hashirama is discussing Shinobis, and we are seeing the meaning of shinobis from Hashirama's father's view, and we are seeing how Hashirama and Tobirama are developing their own differing views on what shinobis should be like.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
But then again Fugaku asked Itachi to protect Sasuke before letting Itachi kill him and Mikoto. Also I guess fratricide wasn't an ordinary occurrence seeing as that would raise all sorts of suspicion. I'm sure someone on the senjus side has to know how they get magenkyou and eternal sharingans.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Don't forget that Minato tends to speak about what a Shinobi is quite often as well:
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
I like these flashbacks, because they also bring in Jiraiya's definition of a Shinobi, which probably reflects Hiruzen's / Hashirama's. It'd be a great opportunity to see how Orochimaru was impacted by Jiraiya's death, and if his perspective has changed at all. It could be a great talking point.
Omfg! This is the most amazing theory ive heard in naruto discussion in a long time.
I believe what he said, that sasuke (and other young uchiha siblings) are indeed raised to be sacrifices for power.
Easy points any can deduce but ill go in chronological order.
- hashirama despises war because kids as young as SEVEN are dying in battle.
-losing his brother, hashirama underwent change and gaibed conviction to change thevsystem, he wanted to protect his brothers all along.
-the uchiha were known to kill siblings for ms/ems andcwas tradition level practice.
-madara "had 4 brothers", (theorize some died as brotherly sacrifices, NOT in battle)
-madara wants to change the system (he was sacrifice age, was escaping to river.. theorize he was emotionally syressed knowing hevwould be killed by his own family for his eyes)
-madara and hashirama form konaha, both fuelled by the hope tobprotect their brothers and friends.
-tobirama migrates uchiha to outskirts, shows frustration at their emotional states (not losing love, but killing their love in secret and tsking each others eyes would probably drive them all sorts of menta)
-itachi, age SEVEN is a genius.. had wisdom of hokage andcleanwd many secrets and jutsu, most importantly.. uchiha secrets and history.
Theory starts..
-itachi comes to face that sasuke will be his "spare" and be sacrificed. The uchiha tradition remained in secret. If killing the clan was the only way to protect his brother them something foul was afoot even if the third dudnt know the truth.
-itachi lectures sasuke during their fight.. explains that uchiha were lusting for power, killing abd blindung hrithers for eyes was COMMON between uchiha for a long time!! He said it was commom! It was their heritage!
-itachi openly says "you were my spare, sasuke".. imlying sasuke was going to be a sacrifice under uchiha's own sanction and approval!
Ok, you can find other details from that yourself
-itachi, having probably learned the true history of the village, likely had some focus spent on hashirama's writings or accounts, also madara's.. learned the ugly uchiha truth.. itachi adopts hashirama's answers knowing hashirama mafe a point to define shinobi and villagebas something to cherish and protect because you love your brothers.
Given the emphasis on around seven years old, younger born being groomed as spares, the duration of uchiha "bloody tradition" abd hashirama likely being identical to itachi in belief and faith...
The practice of blinding and killing brothers was probably at the heart of the conflict between them and konaha, NOT other political realities. It's like tge american civil war... up front it's argued the was about "state's rights" but the plain truth for cast majority was to preserve slavery in the south. I
There are striking parallels you must admit.
Tobirama explains that uchiha loved above all else yet STILL called them evil and cursed (stealing eyes from own brothers)
Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
If killing each other for their eyes to activate ms/ems was part of their tradition, why is it that only very few people where able to activate ms? can't think of an explanation
Sorry but I'm not interested in weaklings

A command line anywhere and everywhere
Command line work isn't a separate task that should live on its own—it's an integrated part of your natural workflow. DTerm provides a context-sensitive command line that makes it fast and easy to run commands on the files you're working with and then use the results of those commands.
Location, Location, Location
What could be better than "right here, right now?"
No matter what application you're in, no matter what document you're working with, just hit DTerm's hotkey and it'll be there for you, already set to the working directory of your current document. When you're done, hit escape or just go on about your work, and it'll automatically fade out, leaving your screen clutter-free.
Natural Selection
Your selected files or your current document (depending on where you are) is available at a keystroke for your command.
svn adding,
tarring, or
scping specific files just got a whole lot more convenient.
Team Player
For those cases where you need something more interactive than the command-by-command style of DTerm (say, for an
emacs session editing a commit message), DTerm still serves as a great launch point. For any command, hitting Command-Return instead of just Return opens a new Terminal.app window set to the right working directory, and executes the command there for you instead. Executing even a blank command this way is a super-handy way to get a full Terminal.app window preset to the right working directory of whatever you're working on.
You Complete Me
DTerm fully supports a standard command line autocompletion system. If you hit tab or F5 in the command field, an autocompletion window appears with recommendations, and continuing to hit tab will even partially autocomplete just as you would expect.
The Results are in the Pudding
(Wait, or is that "proof?" Either way, we like pudding.)
One keystroke puts a copy of your last command's results on the clipboard and dismisses DTerm. This reduces the common open window-cd-command-select-copy-close window sequence to as few as three total keystrokes, for those keeping score at home.
DTerm also keeps a (configurably sized) history of recent results for your perusal and reference. More lengthy processes can also be easily managed through DTerm—it'll keep them going while you're away, let you check on their progress whenever you like, and clean them up after they're done.

DataSmart Compact 10.8-14 Canon iP100 / iP110
Compact attaché case for notebook and printer.
Thanks to the "sandwich" design – the printer is located directly beneath the notebook platform – the case has a very compact shape. Thus, the notebook and printer remain firmly wired into the case, ready to work on. The paper guide is space-saving and crease-resistant beneath the notebook platform, the paper is ejected from the side when the notebook platform is folded closed.
"The notebook is fixed via 3M dual lock attachments and support brackets made from plastic. Thanks to the individual size adjustment via the support brackets the extra large removable notebook platform offers space for from 10,8" to 14" notebooks. Two different socket boxes (2 x Euro 8, 2 x Euro 8 with earth conductor – IBM/Compaq cable) allow the connection of notebooks by differing manufacturers. The Canon iP100 / iP110 printer sits perfectly in the bottom of the case. The notebook and printer mains adapters are connected to the case outer shell via the 220V low heat device connector. The connection between the printer and notebook can either be created via Bluetooth (if supported) or with a USB cable. Due to the compact design, an angled USB cable (not included) can be required. Documents can be securely transported in the document pocket in the case lid. *All the devices pictured (such as notebook, printer etc.) are not included!

Skip to comments.Steele Set for Victory? (US Senate Majority Looking Good!)
Posted on 11/07/2006 10:44:25 AM PST by meg88
If early indications in Maryland and GOP rumblings can be believed, it looks like the GOP will hold on to the U.S. Senate thanks to the election of Michael Steele to the United States Senate.
Several top Republicans in DC are quietly saying they expect Michael Steele to win and Georgia House District 12 to flip to the GOP.
This will be the biggest victory for the GOP. Steele is a true leader that is articulate and doesn't mind fighting the MSM and liberal rags.
He is Democrats worst nightmare! An African American Christian Conservative who is articulate and wants to "fight the good fight."
MD GOPers ...... get out and vote!!!! Proudly voted for Steele and Ehrlich this morning in Harford County.
this is truly awesome news!
Was Georgia HD12 McKinney's old turf?
Man of Steele ping!! Get out to vote in Maryland, you can put Steele over the top.
Just imagine if...we hold the House and Senate.
I will be so happy.
We can do it - If you know anyone who is registered who hasn't voted yet - get them to the polls. It's within our grasp.
Drive them, buy them a beer, do whatever it takes. But be there.
And come on rain!!!!!!
If we can get Steele in MD and Allen in VA early, that could start the big wave!
(Cue the Master of the Obvious graphic - LOL !!)
By the way, this is excellent news for Ehrlich. There may be ticket splitting between O'Malley and Steele, but there is little chance of the converse.
Southern MD voting ...
Here in St. Marys county there were no lines at all just before lunchtime (everyone I talked to at work had already voted this morning) ... 11:30-ish. When I walked into my polling place there were 5 of 12 (approximately) being used and no one in line. I gave my drivers license and in 2 minutes I was in front of the ballot machine. Took another 3 minutes to cast my vote for the Man of Steele and governor Ehrlich ...
On my way out there were many military folks going in to vote.
I really hope Steele wins ...
Dont believe ANY reports from MSM about voter turnout, GO VOTE !!!
I voted for Steele at 7:10am. I'm so anxious to have the results.
Come on Steele....and yes, even Erhlich.
No wonder the Dims are nervous and quaking in their boots!
Steele and Ehrlich will win.
I will be voting for Steele, Ehrlich and John White right after hockey practice!! I'm hoping it will be a good night... but with the record number of absentee votes out there (usually good for the GOP) it might take a few days.
No, it's the heavily black district from Augusta to Savannah that Max Burns won in 2002 but lost to John Barrow in 2004; the GOP legislature redistricted last year and the district no longer includes Barrow's home base in Athens.
No. GA-12 is Eastern Georgia, including, I believe, Augusta -- but excluding Savannah and the coast.
Steele for President!
Christian news and commentary at: sacredscoop.com ...
Voted at 8 AM this morning. Got one son up to go with me, other went around 1 PM, Hubby voting after work tonight. Four Ehrlich and Steele votes from this Shore Family!
The biggest surprise will be when we find out just how well Steele did among black voters. I believe he hits the 50% mark...black voters did not want to tell any pollsters that they were voting for him, and the failure to sense this may well be the death of polling as we know it today...BTW..Erlich wins also...
Happy to oblige. :-)
Not to be a party pooper, but how can they POSSIBLY know this before a single vote has been counted?
Let's not be taken as liberals. Let's wait to make predictions until after the votes are counted, recounted, contested in law suits, appointed to cadidates and confirmed.
....That's all I am saying...
We're here in Indiana, but we sure like Michael Steele and what he has to say....we're pulling for him and a long Steele victory celebration tonight!
C'monnnnn Steele! EAT IT, WAPO!
You bet. He'd be a good role model for African American children. They may learn that they don't need the democrats to hold their hands 24 hours a day just to get around.
Already voted via absentee ballot.
"Not to be a party pooper, but how can they POSSIBLY know this before a single vote has been counted"?
...I'm with you! HOW, HOW, HOW!!!
The exit polling folks from the media pool went into their sealed vaults about 2 hours ago, so it is possible that something got out.
Just voted in central Anne Arundel County - red territory.
I was told that the morning rush was crushing, and it's been busy, with a short wait, all day so far. I only had to wait a minute or two, but actually, it is the first time I've ever had to wait to vote since moving to this precinct in 2001. It was busier today when I went than in 2004.
Very good turnout for a mid-term election, so far.
The way it looks now--this will be the deciding state in who controls the Senate!!
Exit Poll Secrecy Measures Aim to Plug Leaks to Blogs
Wall Street Journal ^ | November 7,2006 | Amy Schatz
Posted on 11/07/2006 5:28:30 AM PST by meg88
Two-by-two, polling specialists from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News and the Associated Press will go into rooms in New York and Washington shortly before noon Tuesday.
Their cellphones and BlackBerrys will be confiscated; proctors will monitor the doors; for the next five hours, these experts will pore over exit-poll data from across the country.
If all goes well, only when they emerge from their cloisters will the legions of ravenous political bloggers have any chance of getting their hands on the earliest indication of which party will end up controlling Congress.
The extraordinary security is a result of mix-ups that prompted grumbling about the accuracy of exit polls after the 2004 presidential election: Bloggers posted data from early exit polls, incorrectly calling some states for Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry and indicating that he would unseat President Bush.
Exit polls will be available for all the key Senate races, giving an early picture of whether it could flip to the Democrats.
The data are collected through the National Election Pool, a consortium made up of the three traditional networks, CNN, Fox News and AP.
In previous years, numbers were made available to the news organizations in waves via secure Web sites. In 2004, the first wave of data went out around 2 p.m. and quickly leaked onto the Internet.
That's what brought about this year's sequestering of the news organization's representatives. The only communication they'll be allowed to make out of the so-called quarantine rooms before 5 p.m. will be to warn news organizations about potential problems in the data.
But at 5 p.m., waves of exit-poll data will begin flowing to newsrooms via limited-access Web sites. For the bloggers, the scramble will be on to get the data first, hoping for an email from a friendly source.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Notice how the demonrats promote Ford and ignore the historic campaign of Steele.
any word on how well Dickerson is doing? I've had to endure a slew of Carson commercials the last few days, and she looks and sounds about 110 years old. How can anyone vote for her?
From what I hear, a lot of people across the political spectrum say Ehrlich is one of few politicians to do an excellent job....its a shame this race is even contested.
That was great..is it on Youtube?..I'd love to see/hear it again..
My guess is that the MSM will try and spin Steele as an anamoly for a few hours. (unless he is the difference in the Senate, and they can't ignore it lol)
Heavy turnout so far in western Carroll County. I voted about 11:30 and the parking lot was full. Inside, one of the election officals told me that there had been steady lines all morning and there had already been as many voters as they had had all day for the primary. Daughter is over voting now and hubby will stop on his way home. This is a strongly Republican district so I expect the turnout here to be high.
Go Steele!!!!!
Political scientists will write volumes on the genius of the Steele campaign, win or lose.
I also think we should send a shout-out to Ambassador Keyes. He was about 14 years ahead of his time...

Game #36 Preview: Canucks @ Sharks
Dimitri Filipovic
April 01 2013 03:21PM
Amidst all of the trade deadline chatter, the Canucks and Sharks will jockey for position in the Western Conference playoff picture.
There's a lot of things you have been able to complain about as a fan of the Vancouver Canucks fan this season; the boring games, the injuries piling up, the lack of "bold moves" (even if the reasoning behind not pulling the trigger on anything drastic is justified). Things as a whole have been bumpy, which has caught people off guard after two seasons of smooth sailing.
With the arrival of April, though, we're heading into a stretch that is bound to provide us with some twists, turns, and hopefully, some excitement. With the trade deadline only two days away - not to mention there being less than a month left in this abbreviated regular season - things are about to pick up. But before anything else takes place, the Canucks need to put forth a better effort than the lackluster one we witnessed in Saturday night's debacle against the Oilers.
Read on Past the Jump for More on the Game.
Broadcast Info:
Puck Drop: 7:30 PM PST
Television: Rogers Sportsnet Pacific
Radio: Team 1040
Monday night's game in San Jose will be the third and final meeting between the two teams. The first contest saw the Canucks get steamrolled right out of the gate, while the second one was determined in a skills competition as the Sharks outlasted them thanks to.. being more skilled? Or being better at flipping a coin, or something.
This game, as essentially every other game the Canucks have played for a month, means a lot. In case you haven't realized, the playoff race in the West is being quite hotly contested at the moment. The Canucks currently sit at 4th with 44 points, with the Sharks only 4 points behind them with a game in hand. It's ultimately quite unlikely that they'll be able to catch the Blackhawks for 1st, so there will be no three-peat (*sad trombone*). However, with the Ducks reeling - you can't outrun the numbers forever, folks - the 2nd seed is in play. As is the Northwest Division. I'm not a big fan of looking too much at the standings yet, because there will be so much movement in the next couple of weeks, but it's still hard not to have an eye on the situation at the very least - especially with nearly 75% of the regular season in the books!
Anyway, it's already clear that this game will be overshadowed by the fact that the trade deadline is a mere two days away. Will this be the last game that we see Roberto Luongo as a member of the Vancouver Canucks? I find it hard to believe that he'll be moved before the summer at this point, but surely anything is possible. Another name that has been brought up in trade talks has been Ryan(e!!!) Clowe, as the Sharks seem intent on moving him.
His situation is interesting because he's a UFA this summer, and it has been reported that he will only be moved if he can sign an extension with his new team. I used to be a fan of his game, but all signs have been pointing to the fact that he's not the same player anymore now that he has entered his 30's. Of course for the right price he's worth a roll of the dice, but if it comes at the cost of a 1st round pick and a prospect, there isn't a pole long enough out there that I'd touch that with.
You've probably heard by now, but on Sunday the Canucks sent down Zack Kassian and Andrew Gordon to the Chicago Wolves, while calling up Nicklas Jensen and Billy Sweatt. Jensen, a highly touted prospect, is expected to begin the game skating with the Sedins. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I hope he gets a legitimate chance, and doesn't get benched for the first mistake he makes.
That means that Alex Burrows is back down the middle, centering Higgins and Hansen. The team's third line will have Sweatt joining Schroeder and Lapierre. You're obviously wondering where Mason Raymond is on that list, and the answer is: "ostensibly injured with the world's fishiest shoulder ailment." Also Cory Schneider starts tonight in net - MAKE OF IT WHAT YOU WIll!!1!

Game Day Links:
I've been out of town the last week, so I was only able to catch bits and pieces of Canucks games. And in all honesty, I didn't hang around the sports bar to watch the Oilers game after the first period.
Was there any indication Raymond was actually injured? Or is this a phantom injury in prelude to (potential) trade?
Canucks Army ? Thats like the Submarines at West Edmonton Mall Being Canada's last line of defense.
Go Riot HONGCOUVER - You and Surrey.

I like this guy or girl!!! They throw out kinda inflammatory things but they always lack context. This is what a troll comment should look like, nonsensical and poorly conceived... much more racist than actually critical of the Canucks. Keep on keepin' on Mac95!
