The undead are another matter.
Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires, but when the bloodsucking mafioso she escaped three years ago finds her again with vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection.
The undead senators won't help her for anything, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, a dangerously seductive master vampire - and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay.

"decent story but does have a few flaws.."
Ok first off one thing i realize looking back after listening to the WHOLE audio book is the narrator does have more variation in her tone of voice the further you get into the book. I didnt like that the story seems to start off in the middle of things and takes AGES to get around to explaining even the tiniest bit of the main characters background and why she is in the middle of running from assassins when the book opens. from there it does turn into a pretty good story apart from the fact that it is VERY choppy. I hope that this author learned how to write things more smoothly in the following books... ( for instance an "intimate" scene in the book where the characters are in bed in the middle of arousing each other and then she throws in a LONG discussion between them that really wouldnt be conducive to that kind of mood... and then after a talk that would have taken quite a while they suddenly remember what they were doing and resume? or out takes in the middle of fights too.. .. the other BIG thing that kept me from giving it a higher rating is the narrator has a problem with mispronunciation. Especially with words like werewolves or wererats she pronounces it weerwolves.
Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"On and on and on with no point....OMG so ANNOYING"
I can't believe all the positive reviews this book received. The main character is so incredibly annoying. She just goes off on these rants for no apparent reason and the story is so slow and boring that by the time the action starts I just don't even care anymore.
I don't get it, there must be something wrong with me because I hated this book. Too many boring details and the characters getting "lost in the weeds" somewhere. The only character I liked was Tomas and I have no idea why the author even wrote him in the story. He could have been a great hero/love interest but he was just never developed. What was the point?
I didn't care for the narrator either, but the story was just so bad it really didn't matter.
In my opinion I would avoid this book - don't waste your time, money or credits.
"Average listen"
There were definitely good and bad parts to this story. It took me quite a while to adjust to this reader, she was probably not the best choice for the voices of the vampires. The story itself was a bit slow in spots, not sure I buy the story lines and found myself trying to figure out how the characters interacted. I think there could've been a chunk removed from the story and nothing would've been missed. "Love" scene was cheesy and ridiculous.
"Plot okay, Narrator is just too much"
I downloaded this selection after having 2 week without a book to listen to. This is a long time for me because I use the books to help with my commute. Sorry to ramble, but the reason I go into this is because I read the reviews of several books and this seemed to be my best bet. The story itself is actually okay, even good in some parts (not rocket science, but passes the time in my car pretty well) however - the Narrator is way toooo slow and overly dramatic with passages. I had to turn the story off several times because her style of reading gave me a headache. And man, SHE IS SLOW. I did read one reviewer who gave it only 1 star. So I was forwarned...but hey author...if you want us to listen to the other books..please get a new reader...I actually daydreamed several times during the story and lost the plot a couple of times. My final thoughts are "does every author have to create their own version of what a mythical creature is...do we lack so much in creativity that the only way to have a story is to bury it in confusing hierarchial structures with convuluted rules that the main character always breaks anyway, surprise, surprise. I am getting tired of picking up new books hoping for interesting plots ex. Laurell Hamilton's early books for Anita Blake only to have 1/2 of the book be about what the HE*L their version of vampire, werewolf, witch..whatever...at least with Kim Harrisons books she doesn't try to give you ALL the information in 300 pages..you have to read several books to gradually be pulled in, not inundated with all kinds of rules, magic crap that you don't understand and doesn't always add to the story? SOrry, just venting a little. This story is okay, but not great. Would have given it 3 stars if the narrator wasn't so annoying.
"Do Not Want"
This has got to be the worst book I've ever read. The writing is juvenile at best, the plot is convoluted and contrived, and the characterization is so shallow it's laughable. The main character of the story spends the entire book a helpless, clueless figure that you just end up hating. Come on lady, get a freaking clue! Whole narrations could have been skipped if she had had at least some sort of intelligence. Instead, the writer acts like every plot revelation wasn't already predicted for several chapters, and takes hours to tell us something we already figured out and the main character should have as well.
Setting aside the barrage of various supernatural aspects to this story the reader has to contend with and the use of historical figures as prominent characters, the writer's understanding of dramatic timing is absent. You don't interrupt a dramatic fight scene to go into narration about the nuances of various supernatural entities. If you must, then you've failed as a storyteller. Couple all this with horrible dialogue and I was begging that the story just end, though I listened to the entire thing just to give the author the benefit of the doubt. Seriously, do not buy this book.
As far as the narration, I have a suggestion. Not every line of a book needs to be read with sultry intonations or biting sarcasm. Just read the book. Stop trying to make everything sound so much more important than we've already gathered is not. I will probably avoid any book narrated by her in the future.
Again, don't bother with this book. I didn't enjoy a single minute of it, and I hope to help someone else avoid wasting their money.
"My Ears are Burning"
This book is great if you like horror, fantasy, thrillers, history, and erotica all rolled into one. I think the only genre this book wouldn't fit in is mythology. The narrator is perfect, her male characters sound a little wimpy/girly but the main character sounds just as I imagined. If your one to blush I do not recommend listening to this book in public. Worth a credit anyway, hope audible gets the rest of the series soon.
I need more ears!
"I'm only half way through . . ."
but I really can't stand Cynthia Holloway. Her mispronunciations are so jarring it's hard to concentrate. I don't know if this is a good book or a bad book. I do know that she has a tin ear for accents -- she should have just read the story instead of mangling the french and italian accents of the characters. I don't know how much choice an author has in who reads their work, perhaps none, but Holloway gets way more work than she deserves. She also savages the Chicagoland Vampire books pretty badly. Tedious and annoying is the only way to describe her reading -- not her voice, which is pleasant, but the girl needs a 'word a day' dictionary so she can improve her vocabulary -- and she should never, EVER do accents again.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
"Touch the Dark"
This book took too long to get to a plot. It is tedious and slow. The narrator is horrible, has the same voice for all the characters, or at least it was difficult for me to distinguish when a different character was speaking. I got two of the books much to my dismay, I couldn't get half way thru the second book, I just gave up. I still don't get the idea of the pythia...(sp.) and I don't know if her father is alive or dead, and the vamp. she was running from in the book, sorta fades from the story completely. I am/was totally confused and had to listen to chapters again, it was a painful read.
"Don't waste your credits"
The premise sounds interesting, and I may still track it down in book form; but the narrator annoyed me so much that I elected to complete my work-out in silence rather than keep listening to her. Very happy that I didn't pay full price for this title.
"Good Story, Narration So-So"
I happen to have already read all the books in this trilogy, so I can now better understand how everything ultimately ties together. I had forgotten parts of the story so it was good to listen to it. If you like urban fantasy books with strong female characters, sexy supernatural beings, and plots that involve time travel, supernatural Councils, ghosts, war mages, internecine wars, and a vampire Mafia, then you'll enjoy this book.
I thought that the narration was rather choppy in that it seemed like the first read-through by the narrator was the one recorded; the words sounded somewhat stilted. I'm still wondering why she gave the Irish riverboat gambler ghost a Southern accent.
The other two books in the series are already out in audiobook format, and I hope that Audible adds them soon.

Huntington residents watched this past week as the resolution of a longtime safety issue as well as a major eyesore on their Main Street became a reality. The buildings known as the Gibb property came tumbling down. Huntington Mayor Jackie Wilson explained the problem has been ongoing for several years and she was glad to see the situation resolved.
The property recently was deeded over to the city in lieu of back taxes and penalties the property owner had incurred. The city will clean up the spot and then put it up for bid where the city will need to recoup the costs of the asbestos removal that had to take place as well as demolition and cleanup costs.
There are several interested buyers at this time. One interested buyer, Percy Mounteer owns the Star Theatre adjacent to the property involved. He would like to obtain the property for parking for his theatre as well as a possible arcade. He has other plans as well if he were to acquire the property. He said it is a safety issue for those attending the show. He said that people park across the street and then jaywalk across to the theatre. Not long ago three children were almost hit as they crossed the street and Mounteer is concerned about these issues.
Huntington residents were amused that at the same time the demolition was taking place the movie playing at the Star Theatre just happened to be, "Bringing Down the House."

A supportive trail shoe tuned to provide an efficient and nimble ride, the Pearl Izumi EM Trail M2 offers moderate cushioning and a semi-firm ride.
Find the support you need to take on the trails with the efficient ride of the Pearl Izumi EM Trail M2. With a platform designed to deliver a nimble yet stable ride, this shoe offers a seamless upper for a socklike fit and a grippy outsole for versatile traction.
Model Number:
Weight: 10.0 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (27mm), Forefoot (18mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The EM Trail M2 is a minimum feature, moderate support trail shoe designed for racing and daily training.
Comments: this shoe has a great feeling upper,love the laces,it has a good width in the fore foot ,the heel fit is good .I would describe the feel under foot as firm.Running warehouse must be measuring the drop wrong this is a 4mm drop so the shoe has a flat feel and will take time for your calfs to adjust if you have been running in more conventional shoes great shoe
From: Rick, USA. 3/19/14
Comments: I'm in love! After about 5 years of being 100% loyal to my Cascadia's I decided to try something new after a few too many ankle rolls. The shoes are amazingly comfy and I get a lot of feedback for the cushion - (I'm reviewing the M2's only here)... Only negative that I can come up with is that they like to eat dust...so wear the gaiters if you hit a dusty trail. Recommendation is to size up about a half a size. I was a 11.5 in Cascadia's and had to go up to 12's. I get about 400-450 miles out of them - another 50-100 for treadmill or street use. 6'1" - Race weight about 170-175 lbs and hibernation winter weight around 185.
From: Dustin, Inland Empire, CA, USA. 2/18/14
Comments: these shoes Rock!! Feel broken in right out of the box, took them on a nice 15 mile trail run for the first run and they performed phenomanally!! big Kudos TO RunningWarehouse..I Placed my order on a friday and reccieved them on Saturday just in time for my weekly long run.
From: Francisco, East Rancho Dominguez Ca U.S.
Comments: I don't run the trails a lot, but often enough to warrant buying a trail shoe. I went with these, as I am a fan of the Emotion Series Road shoes. I found these to be great. No hot spots or blisters and the cushion is decent. I didn't feel rocks most of the time, but every now and then on super rocky trails I do feel a few of the rocks. But not enough to get rock bruises.
From: John, Kaysville, UT, USA
Comments: I really wanted to love these shoes. The upper is fantastic, they're very comfortable and supportive, and the E:Motion system isn't a gimmick--they're super smooth on the toe-off. But they have a serious downside: traction on rocks that are moist, smooth, or tilted (which describes a lot of what I run on) is bad to the point of being nearly suicidal. The rubber is just too hard, which will undoubtedly make them very durable, but which creates terror on the trail like no other. I'm going back to the La Sportiva Helios and relegating these to asphalt, carriage roads, and really dry conditions. If PI puts sticky rubber on this series, they'll be awesome.
From: Henry, Highland, NY
Comments: The perfect shoe, really. I've never felt more secure on the trail and comfortable on pavement than with the PI EM Trail M2. The arch support is perfect, even for my extremely flat feet. It's unobtrusive and disappears beneath your feet, but definitely does it's job. I also love that there is high density foam laterally. It prevents your foot from sliding off the sole when canted, and prevents rolled ankles. Your toes won't hit the toe box on descents. The sausage laces are awesome. Plenty of cushion in the heel for bombing down hills and plenty of grip and protection in the forefoot for climbing back up them. Upper breaths exceptionally well. Go 1/2 size up from what Shoefitr says.
From: Sam, Cary NC
Comments: These shoes are freakin awesome! I have run in a large number of trail shoes and the closest I came to my perfect shoe was the puregrit, until now. The fit is secure from heel to midfoot and roomy enough in the toebox. This may be the first shoe that my foot does not slide around in. The grip is amazing and the cushioning is perfect. Don't let the "M" scare you away. The "N" just didnt have enough cushioning for me and I didn't like the fit so I'm glad I gave these a try.
From: Kelly, Arden, NC, USA

A planned gift is a specially-structured gift that is usually part of a donor's overall estate or financial plan. A planned gift may be revocable or irrevocable, it frequently provides financial benefit to the charity at a future date rather than currently, and it often is the largest gift a donor will make.
Some of the most popular vehicles for making a planned gift are:
- a bequest,
- a charitable remainder trust,
- gifts of appreciated securities,
- lead trusts,
- life insurance,
- IRA beneficiary designation,
- real estate gifts.
The Office of Institutional Advancement is here to help you determine if one of these options might work well for you. For further information, access sample bequest language, read about types of gifts from estate plans, and view our list of best assets to make a gift. We always encourage you to consult a financial planner and/or attorney before making any of these decisions permanent. If you need help identifying someone to work with, we would be happy to assist you.
We know that approximately 80 percent of planned gifts will arrive at a charitable organization without any prior contact with the beneficiary. If you have made a commitment to support National Louis University but you prefer not to tell us, thank you for your generosity. We understand that most donors prefer to keep this information private. If you would like to let us know of a gift plan that includes NLU, please complete the Bequest Communication Form and return it via email or via fax at 312.261.3166.

Citigroup, the third-biggest U.S. bank, said Wednesday it plans to cut more than 11,000 jobs - about 4% of its global workforce - in an effort to reduce costs and enhance profitability.
The move was applauded among investors, who pushed Citigroup shares up 6.3% to $36.46 in heavy trading.
In a statement, New York-based Citi (C) says it will take a pretax charge of about $1.1 billion this quarter and expects savings in 2013 to be $900 million.
The move was lifting other financial stocks, such as Bank of America, up 5.4% to $10.43.
"These actions are logical next steps in Citi's transformation," CEO Michael Corbat said in Citi's statement. "While we are committed to -- and our strategy continues to leverage -- our unparalleled global network and footprint, we have identified areas and products where our scale does not provide for meaningful returns."
CITI CEO: Michael Corbat was NFL prospect
ANALYSIS: Citi layoffs don't mean bigger economic woes
The bank, which employs 262,000 worldwide, did not detail how many of the jobs cuts will be in the United States, although it plans to close 44 branches.
Corbat was elevated to CEO in October after the abrupt resignation of Victor Pandit. "Today's announcement shows that there's a new sheriff in town and nothing is sacred,'' says RBC Capital Market analyst Gerard Cassidy.
Most of the job cuts Citi cited, or about 6,200, will come from Citi's consumer banking unit, which handles everyday functions in bank branches and online.
Citi said that it will sell or scale back consumer operations in Pakistan, Paraguay, Romania, Turkey and Uruguay and focus on 150 cities around the world "that have the highest growth potential in consumer banking."
The bank says about 1,900 jobs will be cut in its institutional clients group, an effort to "improve overall productivity in our markets business, especially in areas experiencing continued low profitability, such as cash equities.'' And another 2,600 jobs will disappear in the bank's operations and technology group and global functions.
Citi says it plans to cut 15 branches in Korea, 14 in Brazil, seven in Hong Kong and four in Hungary.
"This is just the beginning, '' says Raymond James Financial analyst Anthony Polini, who rates Citigroup a "strong buy.
"In a slow growth environment, low interest rates are eating away at profit margins. One would think there are more opportunities to cut, especially overseas," Polini says.
The CEO promised the bank would reduce "excess capacity and expenses, whether they center on technology, real estate or simplifying our operations."
Pandit resigned in mid-October, just one day after the bank said its underlying third-quarter profits were strong and that the bank's outlook was improving.
In November, a regulatory filing disclosed that Citi paid Pandit a $6.7 million bonus and paid a $6.8 million bonus to John Havens, the former chief operating officer who resigned when Pandit did.
Pandit had reportedly clashed with the board over the company's strategy and its relationship with the government. He had been at the helm of the bank for five years, before and following the 2008 financial collapse.
Mike Mayo, a Credit Agricole Securities analyst and long-time Citigroup critic, said in an interview on cable TV's CNBC that the layoffs are needed, but more change is necessary. "The big issue isn't what's going to happen in the next one to two years, but what will they do in the next five to 10. They need a more radical restructuring. At some point, they need to exit some businesses."
Citi nearly collapsed during the financial crisis and had to take two taxpayer bailout loans. It has been shrinking since, shedding units and trying to find a business model that's more streamlined and efficient.
The streamlining hasn't gone as smoothly as Citi hoped. This fall, for example, when Citi negotiated the sale of its stake in the retail brokerage Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, it got far less than it wanted from buyer Morgan Stanley.

What a nice word--druthers. It is a noun, pronounced DRUTH-uhrz. It is a contraction of "d rather" as in I would rather. And that is it's meaning -- one's own way; preference.
Every operating room I have ever worked in has "preference cards" for each surgeon. Very often for each procedure that surgeon does. The card covers the surgeon's glove size (and sometimes type, powderless, etc), preferred skin prep, drapes, patient position, etc. Often the music preference is included on the card. It includes a list of instruments and sutures/needles. It includes the "preferred" dressings for the surgical incision.
I druther have the patient's face prepped with Technicare Surgical Scrub than Betadine.
I druther have Adson's with teeth (fine) than Brown's forceps.
I druther have fine needle holders, smooth like Webster's.
I druther not use towel clamps, but like having them just in case.
I druther have 94.1 FM. You know, the station that my sister and niece won the New Zealand trip from.
I druther have no foley today. I think we'll be less than 3 hours and she's young.........
I druther have the suture in the room and not open it until we need it. We won't waste as much that way.
I druther patient's not have any postop nausea.
I druther have ........
Along theses lines, if there are any residents or fellows who read this blog I would encourage you to ask for copies of your "preferred" staff's preference lists for a few major and minor surgeries. It will be most helpful to you when you move out into your practice. The new hospital(s) will appreciate it as they get used to your routine. When I left my residency a wonderful scrub nurse did that for me. Back then the cards were hand-written, now most places should be able to print it out from their computers.

After four years of distributing through stores, the celebrity designer adds e-commerce.
Allison Enright
Victoria Beckham—a fashion designer and former member of the now-defunct pop group Spice Girls—is now selling her high-end apparel and accessories online at VictoriaBeckham.com, a site that until now showcased her designs but didn't sell them. Beckham launched her label in 2009.
Consumers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe can make purchases through the "shop" portion of the site in dollars, pounds and euros, the e-retailer says. Same-day delivery is available to shoppers in New York and London. The site sells apparel, handbags and eyewear, such as $850 aviator sunglasses. A "look" portion of the site features dozens of videos and images. Consumers choose "shop" or "look" when they arrive at VictoriaBeckham.com to enter either portion of the site.
Each product page includes a link to a "client services" page, where consumers in the United States can either fill out a form to e-mail a question or call a Los Angeles telephone number to reach a representative trained to provide style advice. The call center is staffed weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST. Orders are gift wrapped.
From the product page, consumers can also click "share" and select to e-mail information about the product or share it on a variety of social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and Google+. Consumers accessing the site from other nations see popular local social media sharing options. For example, Chinese consumers can share information on Chinese social media network Sina Weibo and Russian consumers to V Kontakte, the e-retailer says. VictoriaBeckham.com does not currently sell online to consumers in China or Russia, but says it intends to expand e-commerce into other countries in the near future.
The e-commerce site uses the Sellect e-commerce platform and was designed by King & Partners LLC, a web design agency.

Sorry for the real late postgame, long day that not only included the Rangers losing but the Ithaca College Roller Hockey team losing both of their games.
Here are the highlights, stats to come later or tomorrow.
Sorry for the real late postgame, long day that not only included the Rangers losing but the Ithaca College Roller Hockey team losing both of their games.
Here are the highlights, stats to come later or tomorrow.
Alain Vigneault spoke about the trade deadline on Friday and said that he likes the current team that he has.
He said that he likes how this group of Rangers prepare, he likes their work ethic and how they compete.
Vigneault said that he and Jeff Gorton communicate about the team every day and that Gorton knows how Vigneault feels about the roster.
In his return to the lineup on Thursday, Brandon Pirri had an assist and played 10:57.
Pirri had three shots on goal, 1 shot attempt that was blocked, 1 shot that missed the net, 1 hit, 1 takeaway and 1 blocked shot.
He played 3:34 in the first, 4:30 in the second, 2:53 in the third and 8:59 at even strength with 1:58 on the PP.
Alain Vigneault met with the media on Friday after Rangers practice and said (NYR):
Pavel Buchnevich said that during his time in the KHL he was only a healthy scratch once and that he was a healthy scratch for the second time in his NHL career last night against the Leafs. (NHL.com/RU)
He said that he wants to play, score and help the Rangers and that Scott Arniel was the one who told him he would be scratched. (NHL.com/RU)
Steve Zipay noted yesterday that Buchnevich had a long chat with Arniel before practice.
Buchnevich has been speaking with Mika Zibanejad a lot and Zibanejad said that everyone has to remember that Buchnevich is still a rookie and playing in his first year overseas. (NHL.com/RU)
Alain Vigneault announced earlier today that Antti Raanta would start for the Rangers tomorrow in New Jersey and that Henrik Lundqvist will start Sunday against Columbus.
Raanta last played on 2/13 against Columbus, stopping 30 of 32 shots in a Rangers win.
Earlier this season he shut out the Devils, stopping all 19 shots that he faced.
2:13PM: Klein is reportedly suffering from back spasms and will not be available in either of the Rangers games this weekend. (Cyrgalis)
Dan Girardi should be fine to play tomorrow. (Cyrgalis)
1:17PM: The Rangers have announced that Dan Girardi and Kevin Klein are not practicing today and that both have been given maintenance days. (NYR)
Henrik Lundqvist described last night's game against Toronto as one that he felt was similar to the game the Rangers played Tuesday against Montreal. (MSG)
He said that as a goalie he has a short memory but that he remembered losing in the shootout on Tuesday to Montreal and "didn't want to come up short twice in two games." (MSG)
Lundqvist said that he felt it was "really important" to come away from last night's game with a win. (MSG)
2/24/17 | 12:06PM: Elliotte Friedman was on the radio today and talked about the feeling that certain NHL people have that Shattenkirk wants to play for the Rangers and that they are his number one choice this offseason. (Nichols)
He said that Shattenkirk likely turned down a potential contract extension with Tampa Bay because the Rangers are his top choice and the Bruins are his second choice. (Nichols)
10:03AM: Dreger reports that the Rangers have talked with St. Louis about Kevin Shattenkirk but that the price is too high. (TSN 1050)
The Rangers may be "zeroing in" on Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith as a trade target, according to Darren Dreger. (TSN 1050)
Elliotte Friedman wrote earlier this week that Detroit may take a run at re-signing Smith before they make a decision on trading him. (Sportsnet)
Smith, 28, has 2 goals and 3 assists in 33 games this season while averaging 18:44 per game.
The Rangers were trailing 1-0 in Toronto on Tuesday until just past the halfway point of the third when Kevin Hayes put the puck toward the net and it hit JT Miller and went in.
The Rangers out-shot the Leafs 14-9 and out-attempted them 24-18 in the first period, out-shot them 11-9 and out-attempted them 34 to 16 in the second and were out-shot by the Leafs 13-8 in the third but out-attempted them 21-19. (HockeyStats)
Overall the Rangers out-attempted the Leafs 88-59, including 7-3 in OT. (HockeyStats)
Alain Vigneault met with the media on MSG following the Rangers win and said:
Henrik Lundqvist made 32 saves and Mats Zuccarello and Mika Zibanejad tallied shootout goals as the Rangers defeated the Maple Leafs, 2-1, on Thursday night at the Air Canada Centre. >> Read more
First period:
Third period:
8:34PM: Darren Dreger noted the Rangers as a team that will "dabble" in talks for Shattenkirk and are one of the teams that has expressed interest. (TSN)
The rental price for Shattenkirk is reportedly a first round pick, top prospect and "something else," according to Bob McKenzie. (TSN)
McKenzie also noted that three teams in the past year have made deals with St. Louis for Shattenkirk pending that a contract extension could be signed. (TSN)
He said that Shattenkrik reportedly turned down an extension of seven-years and $6 million per season during those talks. (TSN)
11:04PM: Alain Vigneault said that Klein tweaked his back during the morning skate today.
The injury is believed to be "not serious" according to Brooks. (NY Post)
7:31PM: Kevin Klein will not play during the Rangers' game against the Maple Leafs on Thursday night due to an upper body injury, the team said.
The Rangers face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
According to STATS:
Alain Vigneault said that when he can roll four lines and get Jesper Fast and Oscar Lindberg out there regularly the line plays with "pretty good pace."
He said that Fast is "such a hard worker" and that Lindberg has been "playing better" lately.
He added, "they have been getting some offensive zone time and getting some looks. Sometimes the flow of the game, with special teams on either side, you lose that flow and they don't play as much as I would like to get them out there."
In 16 games in 2017, Fast has 1 goal, 2 assists and an average of 12:59 per game.
Alain Vigneault met with the media prior to tonight's game in Toronto and said (NYR):
Leafs coach Mike Babcock spoke about Michael Grabner today and was asked if he was surprised with how Grabner has produced for the Rangers.
Babcock said that he has known Grabner "forever," dating back to his time in Spokane in the WHL, and said that the Leafs coaches and Lou Lamoriello wanted him back "big time" but the organization chose to play their kids instead.
He continued that Grabner had 100 breakaways last season and went 0 for 100. He then said that the last time the Rangers played the Leafs Grabner was 2 for 4 on breakaways and joked that the Leafs "should keep his breakaway count under 4 tonight.
4:29PM: On Brandon Pirri coming back in, Alain Vigneault said "he has done a good job for us. He has been out for a while but there is no doubt that his shot and his release on the PP was an effective weapon for us. I wanted to get that back in. We are 7-1-1 but we seem to be talking about our PP a lot. It's obviously not clicking the way we would like but we will put Pirrs back in and hopefully he will help us there."
2:32PM: Pirri spoke this morning and said that he needs to produce to stay in the lineup and that he isn't worried about things he can't control. (NYR)
On the PP, Pirri said that the Rangers need to simplify and that with the amount of playmakers the Rangers have "there wasn't that one guy, where every time he got it he was shooting the puck. For me, if I am hitting the net then it breaks down their PK and allows the more skilled guys to find those guys back door." (NYR)
Pirri said "shoot the puck, it's pretty simple." (NYR)
Rick Nash scored on a breakaway on Tuesday against Montreal and has a three-game point streak.
Since returning to the Rangers lineup after the bye week, Nash has 4 goals and 6 assists in 17 games, with 46 shots on goal and an average of 17:05.
He said that he thinks his game has been good lately, has been around the net and making plays with the puck. (Game Notes)
Alain Vigneault said that Nash played well against Montreal, scored a big goal and that his line had some "real positive shifts on the ice."
The Rangers were 0-for-4 against Montreal on the power play Tuesday night in a total of 7:13.
The Rangers are 1-for-18 in the past seven games on the PP and 3-for-39 in their past 14 games. (NY Post)
Alain Vigneault said , "there is no doubt that we have some adjustments to make, tonight, compared to maybe the last nine or eight games we had more than two attempts and we just need to execute better and simplify a bit more."
Henrik Lundqvist said that the Rangers played a "good game" against Montreal, did a lot of "good things" and played well enough to win. (Rangers Game Notes)
He said that the Rangers had the looks and were working hard and that while he was disappointed with only getting one point he said "I appreciate the effort here from everyone." (Rangers Game Notes)
JT Miller said that the Rangers played a lot better after the first period and that they responded well in the second and third and limited the chances Montreal had. (Rangers Game Notes)
Alain Vigneault met with the media on MSG following the Rangers loss to Montreal and said:
On MSG, JT Miller was asked by John Giannone about the save Carey Price made near the end of OT and said:
Henrik Lundqvist said, "I just said nice save. You gotta appreciate goaltending when it's that good. We had a chance to finish the game there but he made a really good save.
First Period
Second Period
2/21/17: Alain Vigneault said on Tuesday, "I think that for Mika, the last couple of games have been better. There has been, more confidence in maybe his health, that was a serious injury he was coming back from and you can work out all you want but you need to get back in the groove and feeling good about himself and the last little while he has taken a step in the right direction. He is competing harder for loose pucks, he is hanging onto the puck more and making better plays." (NYR)
2/18/17 | Since returning from his broken leg, Mika Zibanejad has played in 13 games and has 2 goals and 4 assists.
Zibanejad has not scored since netting two in his first game back and only has 1 assist in the past five games.
Alain Vigneault met with the media following the Rangers morning skate today and said (NYR)
Brady Skjei played 17:57 against the Capitals on Sunday with 1 shot on goal, 1 shot attempt blocked and 3 hits.
Alain Vigneault praised Skjei on Monday for his ability to beat forecheckers to the puck or to skate the puck away from pressure.
He added, "It makes it a lot easier on our game instead of defending and that last night was one of Brady's most effective games as far as beating the forecheck."
11:53AM: Alain Vigneault announced that Stepan would play tonight and that the Rangers will use the same lineup that defeated Washington on Sunday. (NYR)
10:45AM: Derek Stepan is on the ice at the Rangers morning skate today with likely scratches Matt Puempel, Brandon Pirri, Adam Clendening an Antti Raanta. (NYR)
Chris Kreider is also skating this morning. (Cyrgalis)

Buchnevich played 4:28 in the first period, 3:13 in the second and 3:05 in the third with 9:13 of the time at even strength and 1:33 on the PP.
Alain Vigneault said on Monday that Buchnevich was "involved, assertive, competitive"against the Capitals and that it allowed him to make plays.
Vigneault added, "It was a better game for him. Again, such a young player and anyone who watches the game, he has tremendous amount of skill and sees the ice well. He just needs to get more experience and get stronger and he will continue to make those plays and be more effective in one on ones."
2/21/17 | Pirri said that since the Rangers are winning it's hard to be down about not playing and that he is just work hard so that when he gets back in there won't be any adjustment period. (NY Post)
He said that he knows he can help the Rangers. (NY Post)
2/20/17 | Alain Vigneault was asked on Monday about the struggles of the PP recently and whether he has considered putting Brandon Pirri back into the lineup.
2/20/17 | 5:14PM: Arizona traded Mark Stone to Calgary for a third round pick and a conditional 5th in 2018. Arizona is retaining half of Stone's salary.
Bob McKenzie mentioned some other UFA defenseman, such as Mark Streit, Michael Del Zotto and Nick Schultz of Philly, Kyle Quincey of NJ, Dmitry Kulikov of Buffalo and Paul Postma of Winnipeg.
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 31 of 32 shots against the Capitals on Sunday.
From the Rangers Game Notes:
Ryan McDonagh said that it was just a matter of time for Lundqvist to get his game going and that he "works too hard" and has such a passion for the game. (NBC)
Alain Vigneault spoke with reporters on Monday after practice and said (NYR):
2:50PM: Alain Vigneault said today, "I would say probable. Hurt his hip a little bit during the game so kept him off and he should skate tomorrow morning and I think right now he should be alright."
12:20PM: Stepan is probable for tomorrow against Montreal after hurting his hip against Washington on Sunday. (Cyrgalis)
11:03AM: Derek Stepan is not practicing today and the team says that he is taking a maintenance day. (NYR)
Stepan had an assist, one shot on goal, 3 shot attempts blocked, 1 missed shot, 1 giveaway, 2 takeaways and 7 and 13 on faceoffs.
Henrik Lundqvist said that the Rangers needed an "A" performance to beat the Capitals and that is what they got "from everyone." (Rangers Game Notes)
Lundqvist said that the Rangers played a hard, smart, physical and fast game and set the tone in the first period. (Rangers Game Notes)
He added, "It could have gone either way, but we are back to going out into the third period and being confident and believing that we can in win this one, and I think that's huge." (Rangers Game Notes)
Alain Vigneault met with the media following the Rangers win over Washington and said (Rangers Game Notes & NYR):
Mats Zuccarello converted a Chris Kreider feed for the eventual game winner in the third period against the Capitals.
Zuccarello spoke after the game and said (NYR):
The Rangers broke a 1-1 tie with 8:37 to go in the third period to cap off a 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Sunday at Madison Square Garden. >> Read more
First Period:
7:49 NYR Ryan McDonagh; Assists: Rick Nash, Derek Stepan
Throughout the season, Alain Vigneault has talked about different things that he would like to do or employ with the Rangers "in an ideal world."
In December, Vigneault was asked about the idea of giving Dan Girardi a rest as a precaution and said that it was one of those scenarios that would work "in an ideal world."
He said that the Metro is very tight and that "you need to play your best lineup and what you feel is your best lineup and that is what we are trying to do, we are trying to win games. "
On Saturday, Vigneault was again asked about the idea of resting Girardi and said that he is only looking at things one game at a time.
Prior to the Rangers loss to the Islanders on Thursday, Larry Brooks wondered if the Rangers were in need of acquiring a forward to play in their top-six for the stretch run and playoffs.
Brooks suggested Vancouver's Alex Burrows as a potential option because of his past with Alain Vigneault and his ability to be an agitator. (NY Post)
Burrows, 35, is in the final year of his contract and has a no-trade clause.
Alain Vigneault met with the media on Saturday after Rangers practice and said (NYR):
5:04PM: The Rangers have confirmed that Ratelle's number will be retired next season.
1:08PM: The Rangers will retire Jean Ratelle's #19 next season, Larry Brooks reports.
Brooks says that the Rangers will honor Ratelle as part of his recognition as one of the top 100 NHL players ever as well as the 50th anniversary of the current Madison Square Garden. (NY Post)
Ratelle said that he is looking forward to being back at MSG and that having your jersey retired is the "greatest honor a player can receive.
Pavel Buchnevich is skating on the fourth line at practice today as well as on the PP. (Cyrgalis)
He is skating with Oscar Lindberg and Jesper Fast.
Buchnevich is on the PP with Ryan McDonagh, Mats Zuccarello, Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. (Cyrgalis)
Brady Skjei is skating with Derek Stepan, JT Miller, Jimmy Vesey and Rick Nash are the other PP unit. (Cyrgalis)
The Rangers were 1 for 4 on the PP last night and had the man advantage for 7:55.
They had a 4 on 3 for 1:15 in the second period and 3:51 of PP time to start the third period.
The Rangers had a total of 5 shots on goal on the PP and attempted 12 shots.
In the two seasons since the Islanders have moved their home games to Brooklyn, the Rangers are 0-3-1.
The Islanders have out-scored the Rangers 13 to 7 but the Rangers have out-shot the Islanders 134 to 123.
The Rangers have not scored more than 2 goals in a game in Brooklyn and Alain Vigneault said last night that the Rangers "seem to have issues" in Brooklyn and that right now there is nothing they can do about that.
Henrik Lundqvist said that the Rangers wanted to get a win in Brooklyn and noted that a win would have provided an "extra good feeling" but that losing the game is not a "big deal."
Following last night's game, Ryan McDonagh said that he felt that the Rangers didn't match the intensity that the Islanders brought. (MSG)
He said that the Rangers had the puck in the Islanders zone for a lot of the first period but that they controlled the puck more in the second and third and were "chasing a bit." (MSG)
Alain Vigneault said that the Rangers had a good first period but only recorded 5 shots on goal and didn't capitalize enough on the zone time they had.
He said that in the second the Rangers made two decisions with the puck "that were wrong and it ended up in the back of our net."
About 3 minutes into the third period, with the Rangers on the PP, the following sequence occurred:

By Sen. Orrin HatchSalt Lake City
Dear Editor:
Pres. Obama recently addressed the nation to discuss "ending the combat mission" in Iraq. Getting to this critical point has been difficult. Many Americans and innocent Iraqis paid the ultimate price. But there's no doubt we've gotten here, because of our brave soldiers.
Without them, we would have failed long ago. Because of them, Iraq is on a more stable and secure path free of the brutal tyranny of Saddam Hussein, and to them, a grateful nation gives its deepest and most sincere gratitude.
Our soldiers endured unthinkable hardships - attacks from a committed enemy; extended tours of duty, which kept them away from their loved ones; and violence that threatened to further destabilize one of the most unstable parts of the world.
As a senator, it has been my solemn duty to ensure that our men and women in uniform in Iraq had every resource to stay safe and protected from harm. I am proud to have supported them and am humbled by their unwavering service.
Despite these tremendous obstacles, they neither lost faith nor their focus to make sure Iraq could stand on its own. Despite a dangerous terrorist threat, they succeeded because of their courage, skill and professionalism and because of Gen. Petraeus' counterinsurgency strategy, commonly called "the surge."
Regrettably, if the president, then serving in the Senate, and other Washington politicians had had their way, we would not be in the situation we're in today in Iraq. In 2006, opposition to the surge was fierce. Then Sen. Obama said he was, "not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse." Many in Congress, allied with radical left wing groups, tried to end the conflict by withholding funding for our troops. But the ones who would have suffered would've been our troops, because they would've been denied the resources to protect themselves and their fellow soldiers. That fringe position was stopped, and rightly so, because we should never sacrifice the safety of our men and women in uniform for political ends.
Thankfully, the president ultimately embraced the surge and that has allowed him to announce the winding down of combat operations in Iraq. The coordinated deadly attacks in Iraq last week show how vulnerable the situation is. The U.S. will have to continue working with this fledgling nation to ensure it doesn't become a failed state in the heart of the Middle East. We cannot allow that to happen. Iran and extremist terrorist elements remain intent on trying to destabilize Iraq for their own personal gain.
That's why thousands of our troops will stay to further train and assist the security forces. Unfortunately, our government has failed to diplomatically end the electoral impasse that has gripped Iraq since January - leading to further instability. The administration needs to work more vigorously to resolve this impasse. Iraq is not perfect; no one should expect that tomorrow it will be a fully functional and peaceful democracy. More work needs to be done by the Iraqis to secure their own future. But it has been the tremendous sacrifice of our soldiers and the vision of the surge once opposed by so many that has given this nation this historic opportunity.

Skip to comments.Obamas Church - Afrocentric, Racist And Bush-Hating
Posted on 01/25/2007 9:55:36 AM PST by Sam Hill
There has been some recent controversy about Barack Obama's religious background. Mr. Obama has recently issued statements through his spokesmen in the media (i.e., reporters) which express his shock at being questioned about such things.
Most of his media spokesmen (i.e., reporters) have then gone on to cite his membership in Chicago's Trinity United Church Of Christ parish as proof that he is just a regular run of the mill American Christian.
But a visit to the Trinity Church's website proves that it is not your everyday Christian parish:
Trinity United Church of Christ
About Us
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.
A visit to the church's bookstore shows they have been true to their word. It is full of (bogus) Afrocentric books, many of which make the usual preposterous Afrocentric claims, such as that Cleopatra was black:
The book store also shamelessly hawks Mr. Osama's books as well:
But Trinity Church's proselytizing doesn't stop with re-writing history and promoting its parishioners.
Here is here is the latest sermon from its pastor, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. (pdf file):
Sunday, January 21, 2007
Marvin Gayes powerful message song is a song that made him famous because it went against the Motown entertainment rule. It raised serious questions about the culture, the country and governmental policy.
His song raised questions about Black-on-Black violence, about drugs, about war and about the way in which we were living (or not living) in a very difficult period of history.
I use his words today on the third Sunday of a New Year to keep before you the painful truth of who we are and where it is we are in this racist United States of America! Whats goin on?
We have lost over 3,000 boys and girls in an illegal and unjust war, and the media is on a feeding frenzy about Barack Obamas church. Where is the outrage about the 3,000 dead American military personnel and the 600,000 dead Iraqi civilians who are dead for no reason other than greed and ego? Whats goin on?
This past Wednesday, January 17th, the House of Representatives deliberated on a bill to cut interest rates on federally subsidized student loans. On Thursday, January 18th, the House of Representatives considered legislation that would repeal some royalties and tax incentives from the oil and gas industries and redistribute that money to alternative and renewable energy such as bio-fuels.
The media, however, is not covering that news. The media wants to know about Barack Obamas pastor. Whats goin on?
On the weekend leading up to Dr. Martin Luther Kings birthday, the House of Representatives passed a bill requiring the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services to negotiate drug prices for the Medicare program. The President who is staying the course and sending 1,500 more troops to their death has issued a veto threat against the measure and there is no public outcry and no media outrage. Whats goin on?
The President, who is staying the course and sending 21,500 more troops to their death has issued a veto threat against the measure and there is no public outcry and no media outrage.
The Presidents New Plan (more troops, more death and more war) promises an insane escalation in Iraq, Iran and beyond! With the torture of Abu Ghraib, the complete destructions of cities like Fallujah and over 600,000 deaths due to collateral damage, the President complained in his speech that there had been too many restrictions on the actions of the United States Forces in the Iraq war.
The Presidents New Plan (more troops, more death and more war) promises an insane escalation in Iraq, Iran and beyond!
Am I the only one who heard that? Whats goin on?
I celebrate forty years of ordained ministry this weekend. I bask in the 40-year glow of Gods Grace, Gods forgiveness and Gods lessons about humility.
The e-mails that I have been getting this week, the news clippings that I am being sent and the racist blogs that are flooding the Internet make me know, however, that even as I bask, the work ahead for the church of Jesus Christ is just as serious and difficult today (if not more so) as it was forty years ago when I was ordained during the Vietnamese War!
The President tries to frame the justification for his insanity by using language describing the debate in this country over the war as a great struggle between those who believe in freedom in moderation and extremists who kill the innocent.
The reality, however, is that the entire war in Iraq and the larger war on terror have been based on lies, half-truths and distortions to serve the agenda of the United States imperialism. Where is the public outcry? Where is the outrage? Whats goin on?
There is more focus on what the Bears may or may not do as they play a football game against New Orleans than there is on the 3,000 homeless who are still living or displaced in the real life game called New Orleans.
Those poor Black and white displaced citizens of New Orleans (not imported team members playing for New Orleans), who have no place to go and no place to live because of this administrations illegal war and its billions of dollars wasted on prosecuting that war, join with me in asking, Whats goin on?
Excuse me! The victims of Hurricane Katrina are no longer on the radar screen of the media. Only Barack, his church, his pastor and white arrogance!
I invite your sincere prayers this weekend. The generation of ministers behind me has its work cut out for them in some incredible and overwhelming ways!
Sincerely yours,
Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
So much for the separation of church and state.
Speaking of which, here is what is being promoted at the top of the church's home page as we speak:
On Sunday, January 28th, immediately following the 11:00 a.m. worship service, meet Senator Barack Obama, author of the best-selling book, Audacity of Hope. Purchase your copy of Audacity of Hope in the Akiba Bookstore and have it personally signed by Senator Obama. You do not want to miss this monumental experience!
Where is the ACLU?
Is that describing his religion, his politics, or both?
He almost sounds like a United Methodist.
The United Church of Christ has affirmed and re-affirmed since 1971 that access to safe and legal abortion is consistent with a womans right to follow the dictates of her own faith and beliefs in determining when and if she should have children, and has supported comprehensive sexuality education as one measure to prevent unwanted or unplanned pregnancies. (General Synods VIII, IX, XI, XII, XIII, XVI, XVII, and XVIII)
Nice bunch of Christians over there...
I tried years ago to go to some of the "mainstream" Protestant churchs in my community. No, not the level of politics in this letter but I was simply looking for a good homily on Jesus and the Bible. I knew that Catholic homilies were less than stellar. I discovered that the homilies in these churchs were no longer about Jesus or the Bible. In fact, I went to a Methodist service at Easter one year to be with my mother in law. Not one mention of the Resurrection or Our Lord. Wow.
Then what are they doing in this country? If they remain true to their native land then they should be making plans for going back and staying there.
Can't tell you how surprised I'm not.
Note the above "sermon" only mentions Jesus' name once and not in a religious or biblical context. Seems fixed on the world rather than the Holy Spirit.
Blog Fodder BTTT
"We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization."
If they are true to their native Africa and not the US then I must assume that they are foreigners. Wouldn't they be more happy in "the cradle of civilization"?
They show the worship service from Trinity on one of the local channels in Chicago, and I watched it a while back. I just caught most of the sermon, and it was pretty much straight politics with a veneer of religion.
So if Congress decides to put further restraints on the political involvement of churches, this one had better be at the top of their list. This one may have gone past current restraints, for all I know.
I am not for restraints, unless a church is so politically active that it's de facto a political organization, but on Sundays I like to take a break from politics. The Lord's Day, you know.
But not to worry. At least Osamabama didn't spend his formative years in an ACTUAL terrorist madrassa.
President Bush has been villified for
being Christian.
Barack Hussein Obama is a radical hating African who
is being applauded by the pop culture.
Racial Socialism.
You go to Obama's Church and you're going to find people who dislike Bush?
This looks like another job for our old friend....
Jesus! Do you realize how many of the Mainline Churches, between the Guitar Masses, the Liberation Theology, and the denial of the Divinity of Christ, are starting to find empty pews as the norm? Makes me want to go Roman Catholic.
Be Seeing You,
Sounds like a pretty racist church.
Statement of Purpose
We honor Dr. Manford Byrd, our brother in Christ, because of the exemplary manner in which he has thrice withstood the ravage of being denied his earned ascension to the number one position in the Chicago School System. His dedication to the pursuit of excellence despite these systemic denials has inspired the congregation of Trinity United Church of Christ. We have prayerfully called the wisdom of all past generations of suffering Blacks for guidance in fashioning an instrument of Black self-determination, the Black Value System.
And we shall, beginning in 1982, institute an annual Black Value System-Educational Scholarship in the name of Dr. Byrd.
This year, 1981, however, we recognize Dr. Byrd as the first recipient of the Dr. Manford Byrd Award which will be given annually to the man or woman who best exemplifies the Black Value System.
The Black Value System
These Black Ethics must be taught and exampled in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect the following concepts:
Commitment of God
The God of our weary years will give us the strength to give up prayerful passivism and become Black Christian Activist, soldiers for Black freedom and the dignity of all humankind.
Commitment to the Black Community
The highest level of achievement for any Black person must be a contribution of substance to the strength and continuity of the Black of the Black Community.
Commitment to the Black Family
The Black family circle must generate strength, stability, and love despite the uncertainty of externals, because these characteristics are required if the developing person is to withstand warping by our racist competitive society.
Those Blacks who are blessed with membership in a strong family unit must reach out and expand that blessing to the less fortunate, especially to the children.
Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
We must forswear anti-intellectualism. Continued survival demands that each Black Person be developed to the utmost of his/her mental potential despite the inadequacies of the formal education process. Real education fosters understanding of ourselves as well as every aspect of our environment. Also it develops within us the ability to fashion concepts and tools for better utilization of our resources, and more effective solutions to our problems. Since the majority of Blacks have been denied such learning, Black Education must include elements that provide high school graduates with marketable skills, a trade or qualifications for apprenticeships, or proper preparation for college.
Basic education for all Blacks should include Mathematics, Science, Logic, General Semantics, Participative Politics, Economics and Finance, and the Care and Nurture of Black minds.
To the extent that we individually reach for, even strain for excellence, we increase, geometrically, the value and resourcefulness of the Black Community. We must recognize the relativity of ones best: this years best can be bettered next year. Such is the language of growth and development. We must seek to excel in every endeavor.
Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
It is becoming harder to find qualified people to work in Chicago Whether this is true or not, it represents one of the many reasons given by businesses and industries for deserting the Chicago area. We must realize that a location with good facilities, adequate transportation and reputation for producing skilled workers will attract industry. We are in competition with other cities, states, and nations for jobs. High productivity must be a goal of the Black workforce.
Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
To accomplish anything worthwhile requires self-discipline. We must be a community of self-disciplined persons, if we are to actualize and utilize our own human resources instead of perpetually submitting to exploitation by others. Self discipline coupled with a respect for self, will enable each of us to be an instrument of Black Progress, and a model for Black Youth.
Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness
Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must keep the captive ignorant educationally, but trained sufficiently well to serve the system. Also, the captors must be able to identify the talented tenth of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captors control.
Those so identified as separated from the rest of the people by:
Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.
Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.
Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of we and they instead of us.
So, while it is permissible to chase middle-incomeness with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method-the psychological entrapment of Black middleclassness: If we avoid the snare, we will also diminish our voluntary contributions to methods A and B. And more importantly, Black people no longer will be deprived of their birthright, the leadership, resourcefulness, and example of their own talented persons.
Pledge to Make the Fruits of All Developing and Acquired Skills Available to the Black community
Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions.
Pledge Allegiance to all Black Leadership Who Espouse and Embrace The Black Value System.
Personal Commitment to Embracement of the Black Value System - to Measure the Worth and Validity of All Activity in Terms of Positive Contributions to the General Welfare of the Black Community and the Advancement of Black People towards Freedom.

I enjoy Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod). Try it.
Good post. Thanks.
So, Obama and his fellow congregationists are Black Separatists. The flip side of the Aryan Nation.
Looks like Obama is a divider and not a uniter.
Ouch! I wish I could disagree with you. My church in San Antonio (University UMC) is in the minority of UMCs in that it is conservative, focused on the Bible, yet very involved in Habitat for Humanity and other outreach ministries. Of course, we also have 6,000 members and are the largest and fastest-growing church in the conference. Hmmmm - one wonders why we're in the minority...
Switch the word "white" for "black" in this diatribe - and it reads racist.
Thanks for posting the reality of this racist left wing church.
I'm sure like all left wing organization websites, this data will disappear now that they have been outed.
Thanks to you and Free Republic, it will not disappear.
When you start pointing fingers at people's religions, you're heading down a slippery slope.
You should join the "Church of the Painful Truth" Neil Boortz is the High Priest.
Wow. If that wasn't a "black church" it would be recognized as OBVIOUSLY racist. Good thing only whites can be racist.
So much for MLK's dream.
Unbelievable. I am so tired of the double-standard racism tolerated by Democrats and the MSM. When will this garbage ever end!
"I went to a Methodist service at Easter one year to be with my mother in law. Not one mention of the Resurrection or Our Lord. Wow."
My Mother in Law was a life long Methodist. She attended church regularily until the last 3-4 years of her life,(she lived to be 89).
She basically stopped going to her local Methodist Church after a series of Lesbian and liberal so called ministers.
She requested that her funeral not be held in her church and no Methodist ministers preciding or talking at her funeral. Her wishes were honored, two years ago.
"A black Democrat politician's church is afrocentric, racist and Bush-hating?
Can't tell you how surprised I'm not."
Yawn. This has been going on for years down here. Glad to see you yanks are finally catching up. ;-)
Ya'll don't think that 90+% black vote is a coincidence, do you? Marching orders come from the churches.
That's cute, the way the author capitalizes Black, but leaves white lower case.
Just out of curiosity, did you notice any non- Black faces in the congregation?
Martin Luther King's dream is becoming a nightmare. The Black Left is leading people down the road to Hell where they will leave them there. Someday, they may be singing, "We Shall Overcome" from behind the Gates of Socialist Hell.
Wow, this is frightening. Now THIS is a story the MSM can really sink its teeth into. Since they've "discredited" the story about Obama being a Muslim, they can now demonstrate what a "real Christian" he is today and highlight some of these beliefs. Obama is a racist pig. This "church" is nothing but a bunch of psychotic and intolerant kooks.
"That's cute, the way the author capitalizes Black, but leaves white lower case."
Good eye.
And the Reverend does it twice, so it isn't just a typo.
Yet he even managed to capitalize "Black-on-Black violence."
That was my first thought. What would people say if such a sermon substituted the words "Black" and "African" with "White" and "European"? I imagine there would be an uproar and the writer would be called an extremist.
I don't recall. I tuned in just to see what it was, since it's kind of unusual for UCC congregations to have TV broadcasts and, at that time, I didn't even make the connection between the church and Obama. In this particular sermon, I didn't notice much that I would call Afro-centric, but there was plenty of bashing Bush and conservatives by name, and that's when I bailed out. (That, and that fact that the guy preaching at the time wasn't very good. He was reading his sermon, which is okay, but he should do it so it doesn't sound like he's reading, and he had a kind of lacksidaisical delivery style.)
I have heard that. I might do that. I think that they consider themselves catholic with a small c.
...or that was committed to Ireland or Sweden?
What of those who are half-and-half? Like Mr. O?
Did you notice that this "Church" is just the black Muslim cult with a name change?
Some great political ads on the way: reading quotes from the Rev. and asking Osama-obama whether he disavows or endorses the quotes. Even if no alphabet-network reporter will ask the question in an interview, you can pose the question in the ads.
With stuff like that hanging out there, this dude is not ready for prime time.
. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
With the emphasis, I would assume everything else is negotiable.

Robert set to Rock Leopard Creek
With any luck, the golfing year should end on a high this week with the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek.
- Related Content
One of the most stunning venues you're ever likely to see, the Gary Player-designed layout is a favourite for fans and players alike and deserves its place in any 'top courses' list.
My only gripe from a punting perspective is that we've a 4/1 favourite who is going to take the world of beating. Charl Schwartzel - who won here in 2004 - stormed to an 11-shot victory in Thailand last week and to be frank I half expected to see 11/4.
- 1pt e.w. Robert Rock at 45/1 (Betfred 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - good course form and appears to have come into good nick at the right time.
- 1pt e.w. Hennie Otto at 55/1 (bet365 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - finished seventh here last year and has won over the course before.
- 0.75pt e.w. David Horsey at 66/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - back in some form. Worth a poke.
- 0.25pt e.w. Matteo Delpodio at 400/1 (bet365 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - strong at Royal Park, a course similar to this one.
I'll come back to Charl shortly, but for now it's worth pointing out that length is an advantage on the 7,326 par 72 layout although the key to success is to avoid the dangers that lie off the straight and narrow with a solid ball-striking week.
The back-nine always provides thrills and spills with three par-fives including the final hole, and unlike many venues across the world it's actually the end of the front-nine which provides the greatest test for players.
That out of the way, I'll first make it clear why Schwartzel will take the world of beating. This event was responsible for his first ever European Tour win, he's been second here four times subsequently, we know he can win back-to-back events as he's done so before and he's not been out of the frame in any of his last four starts.
With that in mind, I came ever so close to going all in because, let's face it, if he plays like he did last week he will win. Not only that, but Louis Oosthuizen has missed his last five cuts here and that leaves Charl as the absolute standout.
However, while he has won back-to-back, both events were in South Africa and the relief of finally winning for the first time in 18 months or so, coupled with the round-the-world travel and a schedule that has seen him yo-yo between Africa and Asia for several weeks now means I can just about oppose him.
Top of the list of players I'm siding with instead is Robert Rock and he headlines the staking plan.
Part of being a successful golf punter is to read all you can about golf, pour over stats, pictures, videos and interviews and generally neglect many other aspects of your life in favour of winning money on this beautiful sport.
But equally as important is surely to watch out for the theories of others and earlier this year both John Rhodes and Ian Richards alerted others to a fascinating link between Leopard Creek and Royal Park, the latter a regular venue for the BMW Italian Open.
Ian used said link to back Garth Mulroy - defending Alfred Dunhill champion - in this year's Italian Open and he played magnificently to finish second at 200/1. The link makes sense, as both courses are similar in length, play to a par of 72 and aesthetically share many similarities.
Mulroy is just one of a long list of players who've produced at both venues and that's certainly something Rock, winner of the 2011 Italian Open at Royal Park, has also done.
That success was of course Rock's first European Tour win in 209 starts but he added to it not long after when beating none other than Tiger Woods to the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship title in February.
It's therefore both a surprise and a disappointment that this hugely talented player hasn't added a single stroke play top 10 since, but perhaps that's explainable by an increase in expectation levels after what was a superb victory that came as a surprise to him as well as viewers.
However, recent signs are that Rock is getting back to his best, particularly on the greens, and a final round 66 in the DP World Tour Championship was a fine way to end the 2012 Race To Dubai.
His best single round of the year came back at Royal Park, where he's also been second as well as landing that Italian Open title, so it's clear that Rock is a player who reproduces at certain venues.
And with that in mind, it's hugely encouraging that his Leopard Creek record reads MC-17-14-2-4-8-38, and in truth that 38th would've been a whole lot better had he putted to a half decent standard last year.
With improvement on the greens clear in Dubai and those directly behind Schwartzel in the betting far from invincible, Rock is worth backing to continue his improvement.
Hennie Otto is another with strong ties to both tracks and he's rated the best of the home contingent outside the market principals.
Otto - who is actually a past Italian Open winner at a different venue - was 22nd in this year's BMW Italian Open, but his finishing position far from tells the full story.
The fiery 36-year-old actually made 22 birdies and just three bogeys on the week, but unfortunately a nine and a seven - both on par-fives - cost him a much higher finish.
Still, he's also been seventh at the track in the past and that's the position he filled here at Leopard Creek 12 months ago, when he was third and just three off the pace entering the final round.
Go back to 2003 and you'll see that Leopard Creek was also the venue for Otto's win in the Sunshine Tour Championship, at the time the biggest triumph of his career, so this is a venue which very much fits his eye.
The negative is that he missed the cut in last week's Nelson Mandela Championship but Otto doesn't strike me as the most patient man around so that stunted event won't have had his maximum attention.
Before that he'd bagged successive top-10 finishes in South Africa, including when defending his SA Open title, and at the price I can see him going very close this week.
David Horsey is a player who looks to be close to a return to his very best and at 66/1 he also makes the list.
The Englishman has positive memories of playing on this continent thanks to a win in last year's Trophee Hassan II in Morocco, and although it's been a while since he played Leopard Creek his one and only visit showed a finish of 21st, in which he improved throughout the week.
With three professional victories on relatively long par 72 courses we shouldn't be too concerned that he's among the shorter hitters on Tour, as he's shown that providing he's driving it straight he can contend anywhere.
That's been the case of late as he's emerged from a terrible season by his standards to post back-to-back top 15 finishes, including in South Africa last time out, and having previously finished second at Royal Park in Italy I reckon there's enough to go at.
Finally I'm going to take an absolute flyer in the shape of Matteo Delpodio at 400/1.
Again I'm relying on the link to Royal Park, as Delpodio grew up honing his game on that Turin layout.
It's a game most of us are unfamiliar with, but sufficient in quality to earn him a 2013 European Tour card after he finished 14th at Q School despite slipping from second after three rounds to 24th after four.
Not only that, but earlier this year after Delpodio finished second on the Challenge Tour, Edoardo Molinari - whose brother is one of the best ball-strikers in the world don't forget - described Delpodio as "the best ball-striker on the range I've ever seen".
Of course it's dangerous to wager money on such statements - especially as Edoardo and Delpodio are close friends - but at 400/1 and given the Royal Park link established, he's worth a few pence.

The Emery County Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual awards and installation banquet on Feb. 11. The chamber honored a business from each town in the county for their outstanding service to the citizens of Emery County.
From Emery-LiveEarth Products, Ferron-Gillys, Orangeville-Food Ranch, Castle Dale-Ace Hardware, Huntington, BKs Stop n Shop, Cleveland, Guymon's Machinery and Fabrication, and Elmo-Turnquist Retreat and Cottages, Green River-Rays Tavern. The new business of the year award was presented to ALCO.
Chamber chairman, Mike Hurdsman said the purpose of the chamber is to foster the economic welfare of the businesses in the county. He said results of recent surveys indicate that $25 million left the county which could have been spent here. This amount of money being spent in the county could have a significant impact on the economy in the county. It is the job and responsibility of the chamber to promote business and financial growth of existing businesses. Hurdsman believes that there will not be any one business to come into the county which will be a cure all, but that economic growth must be encouraged amid the businesses already existing in the county. "If each business could expand enough to hire just one more employee, think of the growth that could be generated," said Hurdsman. He said with 450-500 businesses in existence in the county, we need to support our own and also work with city and county governments to foster the local business climate
Hurdsman said when they were starting their business, Castle Service in Huntington they had a lot of support from other businesses; even businesses they were in competition with called and offered their congratulations and support.
Hurdsman said we need to partner and help each other out in the county and pool our resources together. He said we need to become more involved with Green River and pull both ends of the county together. "Emery County is the crossroads of the west and we have the opportunities, resources, minerals, gas and other assets to promote sell and develop our county. If we don't change we are going to die.
"We need to grow to maintain our lifestyle and we need to be open to new ideas. We need to help make each other successful.
"The things people need are here, we can't grow without services. People need to help others get started and help promote growth," said Hurdsman.
