"As an avid knitter, I am always looking for new projects to make and often like to make gifts for everyone in my family. This hat and scarf set would make a great gift for the men in my life! The instructions are clear and should be easy to follow."
"Any brown paper will degrade over time unless it's coated with plastic or wax. Grocery store brown paper bags should work fine however, if you want the paper to degrade a little more quickly, most paper towels or paper napkins will work fine. The only thing I would worry about is that watering the plants will make both psper tubes and paper fall apart."
"Crafts requiring saws, blades or chemicals should be left to adults. Perhaps children could help with other aspects of the craft, such as painting or gluing."
"I agree with others who have said crafts involving chemicals, machines, blades, etc are best left to adults or with close adult supervision."
"I would have to say any craft requiring the use of machinery (IE woodworking, sewing ) is specifically meant for adults only. Anything requiring the use of chemicals as well. However these can all be taught to children in a form of respect for safety by a supervising adult D"

While the Flames shipped out Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester and replaced them with prospects that Barry Fraser wouldn't draft, the Oilers skate into the Saddledome ready to show Flames fans what six years of sucking can do for you.
The Flames haven't won a playoff series since 2004, the Oilers have won three since then, and in 24 days the Phlegms will be out of the playoffs for the 4th straight year. Make no mistake the last seven years have been brutal for Oilers fans, but at least they have something to show for their loyalty. The Oilers seven-year drought produced Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, Magnus Paajarvi and Sam Gagner.
The Flames' plunge into suckville has garnered them first rounders like: Mikael Backlund (softer than oleo), Greg Nemisz (4th liner in AHL), Tim Erixon (oops, he wouldn't sign in your dump of a city), _______ (didn't have 1st or 2nd round pick when missing 2010 playoffs), Sven Baertschi (solid potential 2nd liner) and Mark Jankowski (say it slowly, Stanstead College in Quebec).
Rob Schremp and Marc Pouliot had a brighter future.
Most Oilers fans won't poke that much fun at Calgary, okay one might in a few paragraphs, mainly because Edmontonians doesn't possess the inferiority complex that exists in Calgary. Oiler fans won't need to say, "At least we finished higher in the standings than you," which was the rallying cry in Calgary the last three years.
Think about that for a second.
Your team never made the playoffs, in fact they "Choked" every year in the final ten games. For the past three years, the Flames were close to the playoffs with ten games to go, and in those combined 30 games, you won a paltry 12. You averaged 4 wins in the final 10 games of the season in your annual push-to-the-playoffs-only-to-fail-and-not-get-a-top-ten-pick.
The only thing more inept than Steve Tambellini's summer free agent signings, is the Flames management in February and March and the Flames play on the ice in March and April.
Which leads us to tonight...
The Oilers and their fans head into this game knowing they will win, which is exactly how the Flames and their fans have felt the last three years. It won't be much of a battle, considering the Flames most effective forward these days is Brian McGrattan.
The Flames got a better return for Joe Piskula than they have for Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester. At least McGrattan is on your team and contributing. Top-notch GMing by Feaster and company.
- Hall/Nugent-Hopkins/Eberle
- Paajarvi/Gagner/Hemsky
- Jones/Horcoff/Yakupov
- Brown/Smyth/Petrell
- Smid/Petry
- N.Schultz/J.Schultz
- Whitney/Potter
- Dubnyk
The Flames will counter with a lineup that would battle stage an epic battle with the 2010 Oilers:
GAME DAY PREDICTION: Oilers win their 5th straight with an easy 4-2 win. The Oilers top line has combined for 19 points in the last four games and they will register six tonight.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Many in Calgary will claim, "Awesome deal, getting something (5th rounder) for Blake Comeau." Get used to saying this Flames fans, as you enter into the phase where you think every draft pick will pan out eventually.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: After he admitted Monday night that he hadn't been, "intellectually honest about his team," Jay Feaster announces during the 2nd period intermission that the Flames will indeed be a playoff contender next year. "Mikka Kiprusoff begged me not to trade him today. He's committed to winning and we will sign him to an extension in the summer.
"Also, now that Jarome Iginla, who secretly always preferred his hometown over Calgary, is gone our core guys will flourish. Want to wager on where we finish relative to Edmonton next year? I'll tell you very honestly. I'm getting a little sour. How many teams . . . every year, for the last 10 years, five years, eight years, have finished in the bottom five, bottom seven, bottom 10? They've had a pick anywhere from No. 1 to No. 10 year after year after year after year, and they still wander in the desert. And they're no closer to getting out than they were 10 years ago. We are still positioned better than the Oilers," screams Feaster.
Good times...
***UPDATE...Turns out the NSOGDB wasn't that far off... An actual quote from Jay Feaster today..."Murray Edwards (Flames majority owner) told me last evening that he expects us to be in the playoffs next year." You can't make this up. Wow, Edwards is delusional if he believes that.
Jeanshorts runs the Oilersnation twitter and when he heard I was writing this GDB he begged me to let him write a quite blurb on behalf of all Oilers fans... so here goes...
Oh, Calgary...
Where do we even begin?
You're like the Springfield Tire Yard of the NHL; You're ugly, can be smelled in 46 states (and 10 provinces) and you're nothing but a humungous pile of burning rubble at this point.
If this is what Jay Fester considers "retooling" then dear god DO NOT let him near your car. It'd be like Pimp My Ride if instead of putting TV's and a new engine in they blew the car up and told you to "never speak of this again!"
Although, it's not like we should really be surprised that Feaster buttfumbled BOTH the Iginla and Bouwmeester trades. We've all seen Spaceballs; it's only a matter of time until he accidentally locks himself in a limousine and eats himself to death.
But hey, it's not all no-name prospects and crying into your cousins breasts in Cowtown. I mean, at least your leading goal scorer isn't former Oiler 4th liner Curtis Glencross.
And it's not like you're relying on a guy who hasn't played an NHL game in 4 years and only has 11 career wins to be your number one goalie next season.
Or that your hot-shot first round pick flamed out (PUN INTENDED) with only one assist in his 10-game stint.
Or that you traded away two of your marquee players and somehow wound up with an even worse prospect pool than you started with, which was already one of the worst in the league.
Actually, basically all that's left is for Murray Edwards to sign Feaster to a five year extension and you'll be set!
You know what, this is typical Calgary. First you steal all our business headquarters and now you have the audacity to steal the title of "Most Comically Inept Run Team In The National Hockey League"? THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!
Unfortunately Calgary looks like they'll be rewarded for this absolute atrocity of a season with a top-three pick. The good thing is that with their recent draft history the nation of Bosnia will be able to celebrate their country's first ever draft pick as the Flames select their top high school player Ahmed Mujo (56GP-0G-0A).
We fully believe in Karma and things coming full circle. Flames fans, and management, have been ripping the Oilers futility hard for the last 4 years. I hope you brought a flashlight, sleeping bag and foamy Calgary, because the basement is dark, damp and it smells like Jerry Sandusky's rec room. Payback's a bitch and this one's going to hurt. A lot.
Tell your hot cousin I said what's up.
"They're ALL my hot cousin!" - Guy from Calgary

April 03 2013, 09:42PM
Feaster is actually quite healthy.
Every night he sleeps in a hyperbolic chamber.
April 03 2013, 09:43PM
Goal, assist and a save for Whitney.
Cheaters!!! Go to the penalty box and be ashamed....
April 03 2013, 09:43PM
Are the Flames even trying? That was a horrible penalty by Sarich. Ridiculous.
April 03 2013, 09:44PM
Goal, assist and a save for Whitney.

April 03 2013, 09:47PM
Seriously that was a sad looking PK. Wow!
April 03 2013, 09:47PM
someone needs to retaliate for MPS for that cheap Sarich hit, if we cant fight to pay them back then lets set MPS up and feed him the passes so he can pay them back personally, Gagners stick looks fast tonight tell him to shoot more, J Schultz can feel free to let the shot go a little sooner if he wants and stop dragging them over so far, its a bit to much time and they are adjusting.
Nice shot Hall. Man he is on fire. He is working so heard without the puck, excellent, now 3 more goals and we are ok.
April 03 2013, 09:47PM
Not getting any better for the Flames in this period.
The teams have officially switched spots.
4 -2 OILERS!!!! Tic-tac-toe past Joey "Don't Call Me Sir John A." MacDonald... right by his missing minister of defence!!!
Actually, a drink for every terrible play that happens to the Flames. We'll be passed out soon.
April 03 2013, 09:49PM
Is Sarich looking for the penalty-box hat trick tonight? And the best part is that he is signed for one more season after this. NMC to boot.
April 03 2013, 09:50PM
Feaster should lace up the skates and chase down some Pringles..
April 03 2013, 09:50PM

If Smid scores then Flames fans will know that their world is coming to an end.
April 03 2013, 09:52PM

Feaster said the players would play better since they were relieved trade deadline was passed.
My first thought was "Well, won't the other teams players have the same level of relief?"
What a f*cking maroon.

Up in Smoke
"We began my friend's bachelorette at a Mexican restaurant with mega margaritas. Around the bride-to-be's third or fourth, she leaned over the table—and the candle in the centerpiece lit her hair on fire! She was wearing a ton of hairspray, so the flames traveled fast. One girl decided to try to put out the flame by dousing her with a vodka tonic—bad idea! The fire continued to spread until the table next to ours threw the contents of an ice bucket on her head. Luckily, she was okay, and the restaurant felt so bad for her they comped our entire bill."
—Lindsay, 24
Stinky Striptease
"When we went to Miami for my friend's bachelorette party last year, we decided to surprise her by having a stripper come to the hotel room before we went out. So this dude shows up and when he pulls down his pants, he's wearing these yellow-stained, paper-thin, saggy tighty whiteys. We were horrified! They were the male equivalent of granny panties meets period underwear. He started to sweat profusely, and it smelled so bad that we tried to open up the hotel windows, but of course they were locked. He made us take turns lying down on the bed while he did his little dance over us, but his stinky sweat beads were dripping on us. It was so gross, that we all had to re-shower before we went out." —Noelle, 29
Candy Girl
"For a friend's bachelorette, we went to a beach town where we used to rent a house during summers in college. One of the bridesmaids thought it'd be funny to make the bride wear a Suck for a Buck t-shirt—essentially, the shirt was coated with candy right where her boobs were. Her friend thought she'd be too embarrassed to do this, but she was wrong. Really wrong. At a bar, the already plastered bachelorette took her blouse off right in front of everyone and put the candy shirt on. She not only solicited guys to come and "suck for a buck," but she ran into this dude she had hooked up with a few years ago. Not only did he suck for a buck, he sucked for about twenty bucks, and they ended up making out right there in front of everyone. Needless to say the next day, half-remembering all of this, she was mortified and terrified her fiance would find out. He never did—at least, not yet."—Leslie, 32
Bride Wars
"I went to a friend of a friend's massive bachelorette party, where the main goal seemed to be to get the bride-to-be totally hammered. Once she was wasted, her friends gave her a list of R-rated things she had to do that night. One of them was getting hot guys to sign her cleavage at the various bars we visited. Later, the groom met up with us and freaked when he spotted the signatures all over his fiance's tatas. He started screaming that she cheated on him...in front of a crowded bar. It was such a vicious throwdown, they nearly called off the wedding." —Ginny, 30
Sleeping Beauty
"I pulled out all the stops when I planned my best friend's bachelorette party, including stocking our hotel room full of liquor. Unfortunately the bride-to-be showed up with a nasty head cold that she'd been treating by popping decongestants. We began pre-partying in the room, but after one shot, the bride-to-be announced she was going to take a nap. She was so tired that even when we woke her up, she told us she didn't want to go out. Our supposed-to-be-epic night was spent in the hotel room, watching movies on demand while my best friend snoozed away in an alcohol-cold meds haze."
—Jenna, 25
Model Behavior
"My best friend is really into art, so instead of hiring a male stripper for her party, I brought in a nude male model and decided we'd launch the evening by sketching him. It started very sedately ... but after a few bottles of champagne (that we also shared with our male model), our group got crazy-rowdy. The maid of honor decided that the portrait would be better if she was in it, so she stripped and sat on the male model's lap! They ended up practically having sex right there on the podium in front of us." —Elizabeth, 27
Break Dance
"We'd started the bachelorette party with a long bar crawl, and by the time we got to our favorite place to dance, we were more than a little drunk. The bachelorette had been bragging that she'd taken pole dancing classes, so of course she couldn't resist when she noticed a column in the corner of the room. While showing off her moves, she suddenly began screaming in pain. Turns out, she'd been a little too eager to show off her moves and smacked her shin against the column, giving herself a fracture. We spent the rest of the party in the emergency room."—Sarah, 28
Bride Left Behind
"A sorority sister's bachelorette was in Vegas, and about 15 of us went there to celebrate. Things were tense when we got there because some of the girls had wildly different budgets than others. After a huge fight, two groups broke off, with one group going to an upscale club and another hitting a divey restaurant. The bad news? Each group thought the bride was with the other, when actually she'd been left back at the hotel! When no one answered her phone right away, she got so mad at everyone that she booked her own hotel room for the night and refused to speak to any of us."
—Jayme, 23

As Labor Day approaches, one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, this Utah road warrior serves as a reminder to drive safely.
Houskeeper offers the following tips for safe driving:
• Drive defensively — expect the unexpected.
• Maintain a safe distance of one car length for every 10 mph between you and the car in front of you.
• Be courteous, use turn signals and obey all laws.
• Keep your options open — have a 'what do I do if I'm cut off' strategy.
• Turn off mobile devices when driving — no cell phones or texting.
Million Mile Safe Driving Award recipients are recognized by the National Safety Council with a lapel pin and a plaque. Reaching this pinnacle requires 30 years of service and a safe attitude.
"Our carriers deliver the mail in all kinds of weather and face daily hazards on their routes," said Cedar City Postmaster Tina Hahn. "So, to drive a million miles without an accident is a tremendous achievement. Greg stands as a great example not only to our workforce, but to drivers everywhere."
The nation's 31,000 plus Post Offices are linked by nearly 214,000 vehicles – the world largest civilian fleet. Nearly 300,000 letter carriers and truck drivers log more than 1.2 billion miles annually when delivering to America's 151.5 million addresses.

Coach John Harbaugh isn't saying whether the Baltimore Ravens will activate injured linebacker Ray Lewis for Sunday's game, but New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said his team has been preparing for Lewis' return from a triceps tear.
Coughlin appears confident it will happen this weekend.
"I would expect that he would be made active," Coughlin said Friday. "That's what I anticipated. It's not my call, but that's what I thought."
'MENTALLY DRAINED': Did Sandy take a toll on Giants?
WEEK 16 PICKS: Giants or Ravens?
Maybe Coughlin knows something we don't. Harbaugh on Friday said only that Lewis was "coming along" in his return to practice since tearing his right triceps Oct. 14 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Harbaugh added that he and the team were feeling "fierce" despite three consecutive losses that dropped Baltimore to 9-5, a game ahead of Cincinnati in the AFC North.
"It was a positive attitude," Harbaugh said, asked to describe the team's emotions Friday. "'Fierce' is a term that comes to mind immediately. That's how I'm feeling. This is the time of year that you work for. This is the time of year where everything is on the line. We love this time of year."
Harbaugh might love it more if the Ravens defense hadn't lost several starters to injury and was now ranked 26th in yards allowed. Beyond Lewis, linebacker Jameel McClain is lost for the season with a spine injury, linebacker Terrell Suggs has been hampered by a torn biceps, and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe has missed the last three games with an ankle injury.
Lewis' return would provide an emotional boost and desperately needed depth. Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride wouldn't guess if Lewis will play Sunday, but he said he wouldn't be surprised if Lewis did.
"It wouldn't shock me, I know he's trying to come back and I know with the number of injuries they've had at the linebacker position, it certainly wouldn't surprise me in any way." Gilbride said. "I know that they're looking for a spark. Certainly his return would help galvanize them a little bit."
The Giants (8-6) fell in Atlanta 34-0 on Sunday, dropping into a three-way tie in the NFC East with Washington and Dallas. The defending Super Bowl champions run the risk of missing the playoffs if they don't win out in the final two weeks of the regular season, though they could clinch a berth with a Sunday win and some help.

Colorado is in the national spotlight as citizens vote on Amendment 64, which would legalize possession of small amounts of marijuana for recreational use by people 21 and older.
The federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, putting it in the same category as heroin and LSD. Schedule I drugs are those that the government says have no medical use and a high potential for abuse. But Coloradans and people in 16 other states and the District of Columbia have disagreed, allowing marijuana use for various medical conditions.
Federal authorities have begun taking action to close medical-marijuana facilities in some jurisdictions, and federal authority supersedes that of the states. But local and state law enforcement officers greatly outnumber federal agents devoted to drug laws, so Colorado marijuana users might face little chance of arrest if voters approve Amendment 64.
Proponents of the ballot measure say the enforcement of marijuana laws diverts police from more important duties and taints good citizens by tagging them with criminal records. Opponents fear increased marijuana use among young people and threats to public safety as impaired people drive and perform other potentially risky tasks.
Communities around the state would have the power to ban marijuana retailers in their jurisdictions, and several political bodies already have stated their opposition to the amendment, leaving in doubt where marijuana could be sold.
A selling point for Amendment 64 is the prospect that $40 million a year in excise taxes would go toward school construction. But that excise tax does not currently exist, so lawmakers would have to ask voters to approve it in another election. And while the vast majority of the state's school boards have not taken a formal stand on Amendment 64, the Douglas County board opposes it.
There are many questions and few firm answers about what will happen if Amendment 64 is approved. If voters say yes, the answers will start to come after Election Day.

Santa Barbara Weather: 54.3°F | Humidity: 56% | Pressure: 30.29in (Rising) | Conditions: Clear | Wind Direction: South | Wind Speed: 1.2mph [see map]
CHP-SB To Conduct "Start Smart" Class
updated: Jul 24, 2014, 1:59 PM
Source: CHP
The California Highway Patrol's Start Smart program is a driver safety education class that targets new and future licensed teenage drivers between the age of 15 - 19, their parents, and guardians. CHP officers discuss traffic collision avoidance techniques, collision causational factors, driver/parent responsibilities, seatbelt usage, etc.
Testimonies are provided by officers who have investigated fatal collisions involving teens, along with the latest "RED ASPHALT" video which chronicles the aftermath of several teenage driver collisions. The CHP offers the Start Smart program to help newly and future licensed teen drivers become more aware of the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of being a licensed California driver.
California teen drivers are found at fault in 66 percent of all fatal collisions they are involved in, although they represent only four percent of the State's licensed drivers. California has the second highest fatality rate involving drivers between the ages of 15-20, and motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death for Americans in this age bracket. "This tragic loss of young lives is a concern to us, and we hope this program can reduce the death toll." stated CHP Captain Mark D'Arelli. Teenagers average twice as many accidents as adult drivers while driving only half as many miles, making the teen accident rate-per-mile four times that of adults. If you are under 18 years of age, your risk of a fatal accident is about 2.5 times that of the average driver and your risk of an injury accident is three times higher than the average driver.
The next Start Smart class is scheduled for Tuesday, August 05, 2014, at 6 P.M. The class will be held at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital located at 5333 Hollister Avenue in the City of Goleta. Teen drivers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The class will be held in the Ashton Education Center. If you would like to attend, please call the Santa Barbara Area CHP office to sign up at: (805) 967-1234.

Building Jewish Leaders at Hungary's Camp Szarvas
For 24-year-old David Csillik — who works as a unit head at Szarvas, JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp — his purpose is clear.
For 24-year-old David Csillik — who works as a unit head at Szarvas, JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp — his purpose is clear.
Aleksey Dolgov doesn't have to think twice before telling you what he likes best about JDC's annual Olameinu summer camp for Jews in the Baltics:
This summer marked 14-year-old Galya's first time at Szarvas — JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp bringing together 1,300 children and teens from 25 countries — but the Turkish teen is no stranger to the idea of being a global citizen.
Wiktoria Jachym, 16, is a proud participant of many Jewish programs in her hometown of Krakow, Poland — Sunday school, community celebrations, the city's innovative 7@Nite Festival, and more. But the high school student's favorite Jewish program by far is Camp Szarvas, JDC's pioneering summer camp experience for young Jewish leaders from around the world.
Oleg Jonelis first attended JDC's Olameinu summer camp in the Baltics in 2002, when his father sent him to enrich his Jewish cultural education. Eleven years later, Jonelis is the camp's director, and he said supervising more than 200 kids aged seven to 12 each summer from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania couldn't be more rewarding.
Some marriages are a match made in heaven. For Barbi Paszternak-Szendy and her husband Andras Paszternak, their June nuptials were a match made in Szarvas.
After attending the four-day Freilehe Kinder camp and festival near the central Kazakhstan city of Karaganda, Viktoria Goldina has an important message about Jewish life in this Central Asian country of about 17 million people.
All year long Henrik Z., 32, who has Down's syndrome and lives with his pensioner mother in Budapest, Hungary, looks forward to the most special week of his summer. That's when he goes to camp Szarvas, where he sees his friends, plays soccer, and celebrates Shabbat with the community he feels closest to.
Mirroring a common reaction among fellow Jewish 10-year-olds in Minsk, Belarus, Pavel's eyes light up with excitement at the mere mention of "Shemesh" Camp at his local Jewish Community Center (JCC). That's because Pavel can't wait to join his friends for a 10-day session of fun and Jewish learning that will include trips to parks, museums, movies, and other attractions around Minsk.
Eric, 26, echoes the frustration of his generation as they confront an uncertain future in their native Greece and neighboring euro zone countries. "Our economic and political situation is really difficult. People are struggling and they are angry," he said. "My parents have been hit hard and now I need to help support my family, which puts a completely new pressure and perspective on what I can do next."

Eleanor Bradshaw, Assistant Curator
As part of the first cohort of Inspire curating MA students at the Royal College of Art, I have had the unique opportunity to work at the British Museum for the last two years, and my time is finally coming to an end! The Art Council's Inspire programme is unique in that it is a course aimed at BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnics) in an attempt to diversity the arts and cultural heritage workforce, hoping to bring with it some different outlooks, perceptions and ideas.
Throughout the lead up to the exhibition Grayson Perry: The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman (which was an incredibly tight eight months) I was heavily involved with the initial curation and planning of the exhibition, as well as working closely with Grayson himself in selecting nearly 200 British Museum objects to go on display. Grayson planned on displaying about 30 of his own works which he wanted to sit – sometimes in juxtaposition and sometimes in harmony – with objects from the Museum collection.
Before we met, Grayson had taken photographs of over 900 objects from the collection, which he brought to me in a Tupperware box. These ranged from miniature Japanese pocket shrines to large Chinese tomb bricks and prints of the infamous transvestite Chevalier d'Eon.
Together, we decided it would be sensible to cull the photographs (and therefore objects) down to about 200 so they would actually fit in the exhibition space. Grayson decided he would play the role of Simon Cowell, so luckily that made me Cheryl. The selection process was truly fascinating to watch. Grayson chose many of the objects because they referenced his own works beautifully. For example, an Asafo banner connects really well with his tapestry Hold Your Beliefs Lightly. Also included in the exhibition are some late seventeenth century German stoneware jugs, which could almost be mistaken for his own ceramic pieces.
Objects were also chosen in relation to certain elements or themes of the exhibition, such as pilgrimage and the craftsman. In some cases he did not choose an object based on the aesthetic, for example the Department of Prints and Drawings has several maps of Pilgrims Progress but Grayson chose his least favourite and the least decorative simply because visually it was easier for the audience to decipher. Conversely some objects were chosen because they were purely spectacular, such as the ornate gold ceremonial headdress from Ghana.
Once selected, I had the daunting task of locating all 200 objects. Luckily, Grayson has almost total recall and could remember what every single object was, what department it was from and if not the name of the curator responsible, then whether or not they had a beard!
Throughout the selection process, many people have questioned why a contemporary artist like Grayson Perry would want to do an exhibition at the British Museum. I think this provokes a very interesting question: can the contemporary and the historical speak intimately to each other and create an interesting dialogue, or should they be kept apart?
Grayson Perry takes you behind the scenes of the making of this exhibition in a new BBC documentary. Come along to free screenings at the Museum on 10 November or 1 December 2011.

John Edwards' Wikipedia Page Strangely Love Child-Free
After all this Mickey Kaus blathering about MSM gatekeepers censoring the news and preventing the reader from learning "what happened yesterday" (or, at this point, last week), it's wonderful to see the citizen-journalists and crowdsourced new guardians of information acting just as ridiculously about this supposed John Edwards scandal. As you'll recall, the National Enquirer caught John Edwards sneaking into a hotel late one night to visit former staffer Rielle Hunter and her child. When they confronted him on his way out, he hid in a bathroom. Fox News confirmed the visit. But none of this meets Wikipedia's high standards of notability! You won't find Rielle or the Beverly Hilton even mentioned on the Edwards entry.
Despite the fact that the basic facts of the evening seem to be proven, Wikipedia's power-mad power-users are immediately deleting any and all mention of the John Edwards lovechild scandal the second any other user adds it. You could go over there and add "In July of 2008, Edwards was confronted at a Beverly Hills hotel by National Enquirer reporters searching for evidence of his participation in an extra-martial affair"-all true and verified by more "reliable" sources!-and it wouldn't last two minutes. (Actually you couldn't add that. The entry has been locked.) It's not notable enough for them, apparently. Though this is. And hell, so is this!
But no, the details of the probable end of the political aspirations of one of the 2000s most visible Democratic politicians are just not as notable as the fictional history of the Wookee homeworld.
(Kudos, of course, to the enterprising editor who buried mention of this scandal in this unread entry on a book by Rielle Hunter's ex-boyfriend Jay McInerney.)

Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT)
Selecting an occupational therapy educational program from the many available can be a difficult decision. You may wonder about the differences between programs. Based on our extensive experience as occupational therapists and educators of OTs, we can tell you that there is a difference! Chatham University's Entry–Level Master of Occupational Therapy Program is one of the finest available for educating and preparing students for a proactive role in the twenty–first century.

Flying Monsters 3D
For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. They became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world. But could they have really existed? 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on their rise to dominating Earth. But another group of reptiles was set to make an extraordinary leap: pterosaurs were about to take control of the skies. These creatures were the first flying vertebrates, which grew to have a 40ft wingspan, the size of a jet. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastic that any fiction.

Alright, just a simple short review because I still dont feel like writing yet but its coming back slowly. so its been a rough last few weeks and the last few days in particular and just when I think it couldnt get any better, the long anticipated 8th studio album by Bone Thugs N Harmony is finally released!!!!
It's been a lonely run for me during the last week and with Mothers Day and everything the sadness has been my only friend (or enemy??). So when Bone dropped their album on May 3rd (or 4th?) I wasnt really into snapping it up even though I'd been waiting excitedly like millions of other fans around the world.
But a couple of days ago I needed something to shift my energies so I decided to mess around on youtube and came across one of the songs named Gone ft Ricco Barrino, from the Uni 5 album. It lifted me so much I went and got the album straight away and I've been listening to it ever since.
Meet Me in the Sky featuring K-Young is powerful with an amazing hook by K-Young this song shows the incredible versatility Bone Thugs showcase so well. Check the official video out below Read the rest of this entry ?

Posted on 10/13/2012 9:27:53 PM PDT by neverdem
Scientists are testing the idea that the stress of modern city life is a breeding ground for psychosis.
In 1965, health authorities in Camberwell, a bustling quarter of London's southward sprawl, began an unusual tally. They started to keep case records for every person in the area who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder or any other psychiatric condition. Decades later, when psychiatrists looked...
Yet the results of his study, published last year in Nature (F. Lederbogen et al. Nature 474, 498501; 2011), clearly showed that people who grow up in cities process negative emotions such as stress differently from those who move to the city as adults. His team scanned the brains of 55 healthy volunteers as they carried out arithmetic tasks under a constant bombardment of negative social feedback. We'd always let them know through headphones that we thought they were failing, or at least not doing as well as other subjects we'd had in the scanner, says Meyer-Lindenberg. In one set of experiments we let them see our impatient faces on computer screens.
This social stress activated two brain areas but the pattern depended on the volunteers' histories of urban living. The amygdala, which processes emotion, showed much greater activity in people who were currently living in a city. And the cingulate cortex, which helps to regulate the amygdala and processes negative emotion, responded more strongly in those brought up in large cities than in those brought up in the countryside, irrespective of where they lived now. Meyer-Lindenberg thinks that this over-responsiveness to stress could make city-dwellers more prone to psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and his results chime with the idea that stress in childhood or adolescence can have a lasting effect on the brain's development and increase susceptibility to psychiatric disease...
(Excerpt) Read more at nature.com ...
Nothing new, it's been observed for centuries.
...and what political ideology mostly resides within cities ?
Causation makes correlation.
I try keeping my brain locked down better than Obama's history. Sometimes things do slip, but it's every now and then, and I'm easily able to regulate the flow of emotions out.
An extremely easy fix would be going away from NYC, while keeping constant contact with friends.
Racist! Right-winger!
(if I need a /sarc tag for that...)
*wipes flecks of saliva off screen*
solution: urban voters only allowed a half vote - we could call it the 'crazy differential'
The biggest problem with large cities here in the U.S. is they are run by DemocRATS. From what I understand, large cities in the Orient in places such as Singapore, Japan and Malaysia are modern wonders to behold. Of course, they don't have Greenie whack jobs and RAT politicians to contend with. My cousin John lived in Singapore. He said the cities here in the U.S. are 3rd world compared to the Orient.
I remember a NOVA presentation on PBS (when I was a teenager) based on crowded cities and their effect on people.
They used rats in gradually over-populated cages—stress producing "environment"—they kept adding rats.
Eventually, the rats turned to extreme violence and cannibalism; can't help but think of our larger cities now; filled with rats that eat the faces off the other rats.
Scientists are testing the idea that the stress of modern city life is a breeding ground for psychosis.
Have you ever met anyone from NYC that didn't have issues?
It isn't exactly news that urban societies are associated with higher rates of mental disorders.
Ah yes, the Universe 25 experiment.
There was a comic book series in the 1980s called Mister X that touched on this. Mister X was not a superhero, he was a brilliant and eccentric architect. He designed a city where every building, shape and line reinforced positive emotions and healthy psychological well being. He did not see the city built, but had a nervous breakdown and spent years in a mental hospital.
When he was released, he found that the city had been built in his absence. But not exactly the way he designed it. This city had the lines and shapes subtly changed. In stead of promoting happiness and positiveness, it reinforced psychosis, suicide, and mental illness. All of its residents were slowly and deliberately being driven insane.
The character spends the city looking for the people who built the city, and the secret of why it was changed.
Ah, so in other words, that has the very same psychosis causing effect as approvingly telling them 24/7 dat dey BEEEE somebody and aren't to blame for their own failed socio-economic station in life. Because the first version these researchers tested has almost NOTHING to do with the price of tea in China.
Interesting results. Probably done by a liberal prof.
But what would be really interesting to know is whether the liberal prof thinks that the liberal sustainable development plan to herd everyone out of the suburbs and into big buildings in cities so that the animals can run free (or whatever their reasoning is) is a good idea.
I can tell you that country people are better adjusted and far less silly than city people. And I've been in both places.
George Gilder on Why Socialism Always Fails
I have met very few people from any major city I would not consider to be more than a bubble off of level...
It's the ones that you can't even see the bubble that scare the hell out of me.
Think: DETROIT. Enough said.
Rats running a nut house sounds like a natural enviornment for cities.
I went to great expense to raise my family in a country setting because I did not want the boys raised in the social stress (insanity) of a city. It's hard enough growing up and becoming a man without playing human predator and prey every day of your young life.
A city child's disconnect with his own self and nature is severe. We participated in a summer program for city kids and took a boy from Harlem into our house. His amazement and love of the country's grew but first he had to deal with the issue of being with his own senses, mind and body. He was driven in the city in reaction to the city and never had the experience of driving himself. One of the things he was most overwhelmed by was the smell of the country versus the smell of Harlem. Sometimes he'd just sit out back, listen to nature and sniff. LOL
The main object of Agenda 21 is to force everyone out of nature and into packed, highly controlled cities. Liberals seem to have a radar for all that is destructive of human life and well being.
Tests in the 1950's show what happens with rat populations.
They are normal, and exhibit normal behavior UNTIL the population is raised past a certain critical threshhold, either by birth, or addition of more rats to the enclosure.
ALL KINDS of abnormal behavior then start up.
Infanticide, extreme aggression, homosexuality, weird dietary behavior, things that can best be labelled "Rat OCD's"
I have the Sci-Am reprints, some of them may even be available online.
Detroit is rapidly turning back into farmland. Not kidding.
Thanks. Great article, excellent summation. To quote... "the results were ALWAYS the same..."
And it is important to pay attention to the fact that it WAS NOT a lack of resources like housing or food.
In fact, they had the equivalent of Public Nesting and rat EBT cards!!
I'd toss in a sarcasm tag, but it's just too damn scary to get one!

Universe 25
© Laurence B. Winn
Sep 1, 1998
Imagine a group of humans, indeterminate in number, confined in a place of fixed dimensions, wanting for nothing. They have plenty to eat, plenty of water, plenty of places to live, and only the dimmest sort of apprehension of a larger world. They might even think of "the outside" as a kind of malicious fiction perpetrated by malcontents. It's a circumstance not unlike the one "sustainable development" is supposed to create for us. Also, not unlike the universes of John Calhoun's rats.
Laboratory animals often substitute for humans in tests of hazardous environmental factors. Their use in the study of cancer-causing and toxic chemicals is almost universally accepted. Their responses can, and do, give insight into human behavioral psychology. They are useful as models for humans precisely because their repertoire of behaviors is simpler than that of men and women, and so it is easier for scientists to control the variables. This also gives us the latitude to say, when we don't like the results of such tests, that humans and rats are different.
And that is why, when ecologist John B. Calhoun passed from the scene in September of 1995, The New York Times noted in his obituary that his work had often met with "studied disregard." He had spent his life studying the behavior of enclosed rodents.
The term "enclosure" has a specific meaning different from crowding. (See an earlier article, First Principles, for a more complete explanation.) Calhoun's animals were not just thrown together in a cage. They grew up in confinement, generation after generation, without the ability to imagine an escape.
The research began at Johns Hopkins in 1946 and continued through the '60s, when Calhoun, then a research psychologist at the National Institute of Mental Health, published a report of the work in Scientific American. What fascinated students and readers of this research, then and now, is that the rats in Calhoun's experiments developed social pathologies similar to the behavior of humans trapped in cities. Among the males, behavioral disturbances included sexual deviation and cannibalism. Even the most normal males in the group occasionally went berserk, attacking less dominant males, juveniles and females. Failures of reproductive function in the females - the rat equivalence of neglect, abuse and endangerment - were so severe that the colonies would have died out eventually, had they been permitted to continue.
Before going on, it is especially important to be clear on this point: None of Calhoun's experiments began with throngs. All of his populations started out small, with superabundant resources, and grew after many generations into a state of crowding that approximated 80% of carrying capacity. That is to say, 80% of the nesting boxes in the enclosures were occupied at the peak population.
Appropriately, Calhoun called his confinements "universes," since the animals inside them knew nothing of an outside. The rats of the early days required complete rooms as universes. This, and the fact that crazy rats are notoriously difficult to care for, is what must have shifted Calhoun's affections to mice in later experiments. Full details of Universe 25 appear in a 1970 paper titled The Explosive Growth and Demise of a Mouse Population.
A few salient points from the paper:
* The mice in Universe 25 developed a social system with a fixed number of places. In nature, the excess population emigrates to what, in human terms, would be a frontier. But in Calhoun's rodent Shangri-La, the possibility of emigration is excluded because ecologists define emigration as a "mortality factor." It is therefore not utopian. Rejected males gathered in "pools" on the floor of the universe, where they fought frequently. Females not accepted in the social structure withdrew to less-preferred nesting boxes in the higher reaches of the universe.
* Dealing with large numbers of maturing competitors overtaxed the territorial males. In response to the invasion of nesting sites by interlopers, females became aggressive, taking over some of the defensive duties of the males. This aggression generalized to their young. A pronounced rise in preweaning mortality marked the end of social structure in Universe 25.
* With the end of successful reproductive activity, the population plunged exponentially and the age distribution shifted into senescence. The remaining individuals of reproductive age had, by this time, lost interest in courting. Calhoun dubbed the males "beautiful ones" for their obsessive grooming. It had been expected that the population would rebound after declining to a few remnant groups. It did not. What's more, healthy young individuals from Universe 25, transplanted to an empty universe of their own, failed to develop a social structure or engage in reproductive activity.
It seems clear that, for rodents at least, the absence of frontiers leads to what Calhoun calls "death of the spirit." This first death leads to species extinction, the "second death." A study of the headlines over the last thirty years or so yields some interesting parallels with the human condition, but there's no room for that here.
A final observation: Calhoun's work remains unfinished. His experiments could be extended to include a frontier, or an unlimited succession of frontiers, by linking a populated universe with a string of empty ones. The path to each new universe would have to be made arduous, say by a maze, or by an electrical grid designed to deliver painful but non-fatal shocks. Even more interesting, for computational types, would be the creation of digital life forms complex enough to check out frontier theory analytically.
Those of you readers interested in such things, do try. One might say your life depends on it.
I should note Calhouns original work was entitled "Population Density and Social Pathology" Scientific American, March, 1962, pps 139-148
He passed, and an Obituary was posted about Sept, 1995
Not sure if his work continues.
Heh, I suppose so. I moved to the city when I was 38 years old and processed my stress by moving right back out twenty years later. It worked, too.
Mental illness is caused by too many people. Hmmmmm.....how do we reduce the population? Do you see where this is going? The liberals must live as long as possible because, well, they're just smarter than everyone else. And their quality of life must be improved by having less traffic and fewer people at their beaches. They're filthy, stinking eugenics believers.

Megabass Pop Max
Based on a hand-carved original by Yuki Ito, the Megabass PopMax ups the ante of the well-respected PopX with a larger body, and redesigned gill-system. In addition to the PopX's gill openings that allow for water to pass through and create life-like bubbles, the PopMax also features a unique gill system that consists of six water-intakes and a water chamber. Four intakes channel water through the gills and out to the sides, creating a unique splashing/chugging action on the surface, while two additional intakes channel water into the internal chamber and out below the PopMax. This generates enticing bubbles and a surface disturbance that bass can't resist. The intake system also acts like a lip, utilizing the water pressure that is pushed through the lower chamber to keep the lure from skipping across the water, and helping to keep the lure grounded so it can be worked faster. In addition, when the lure is paused, water flows out of the chamber, causing the PopMax to raise its head and survey its surroundings.
The PopMax can be worked like a conventional popper, and with gentle rod-tip action, the PopMax will roll-walk dynamically, combining the winning elements of both poppers and walking baits. For best results, fish the Megabass PopMax around rocky or riprap banks, over grass beds, or on shallow points early in the morning. Available in a variety of proven Megabass colors, Megabass also recommends fishing the PopMax on 18lb Megabass Dragon Call fishing line.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I used the white python color at a local pond & caught an 8lber on it followed by a 3 & a 2. Like the other guy said about the price, I agree. I was hesitant to get a $20 lure (also a teen) but the reviews were good and they look so cool. I'm glad I did too. One of my favorite poppers now and I plan to buy another.
From: Andrew: NC 8/26/16
Comments: This popper is absolutely phenomenal. I've caught 5lb bass on these from morning dawn to the end of the day. Being a teen it's a little hard to come up with $20 just for one lure but I intend on buying a few more. Worth the money.
From: Spencer: NH 7/12/16
Comments: My favorite popper, caught around 30 river smallies in 3 days on it. Great paint job just flat out catches fish. Paint job can chip if banged up against rocks or obviously by fish.
From: Brett: USA 1/2/16
Comments: This popper is by far the best top water bait I have ever thrown. I use pumpkinseed & GG bass & they are phenomenal. However, this is more of a walking bait than a popper, but that doesn't bother me because it still catches the fish. I have been using this bait all summer & it has caught well over 200 bass & it has held up great!
From: Richard: St. Louis, MO 12/19/15
Comments: Another go-to bait in my tacklebag. unbelieveable detail to bring out that realistic look. Throwing the Pumpkinseed color. nothing better than a top water blow up!
From: Jason: WI 9/13/15
Comments: I love fishing topwater and invested in the pop max in the French pearl color. It is a DECENT popper. It will catch fish but don't expect to be able to work this bait fast even when trying to walk it. For some reason, it wants to jump out of the water when chugging. Also, this bait is terrible fishing in any current. The bait wants to sink when trying to work it. Bottom line, I would think really hard before purchasing another one of these because I believe there are better poppers for less money such as a zell pop or a g-splash.
From: Drew: AL 7/30/15
Comments: Great bait. Good finish, easy to work with a great sound & the fish really like it. Doesn't catch as many fish as a Rico popper, but the fish it gets seem to be larger which is to be expected when stepping up to a magnum popper.
From: Steve: MD 6/2/15
Comments: I have two of these lures amazing pop to it, I'm a young angler and I got this lure but, I got my uncles to buy one of these, and they absolutely love these lure, I get slammed on these, I love MegaBass reliable quality, Definitely buying more MegaBass
From: Austin: Midlothian, VA 1/11/15
Comments: this is my go to for top water.this thing not only catches bass but the stripers boil for this thing..i use the bass colors and tend to work this bait very fast works better for me
From: Chad: Rancho Cucamonga, CA 9/17/14
Comments: Amazing.. I didn't want to like this bait as I personally think Megabass charges too much for a bait. Boy I was wrong though! First outing and got 4.25lb bass out in Northern Illinois lake, which is brutally tough due to bucket heads. Great great action paired with highest quality paint job. I will definitely need to try out the xpod jr as well! oh and it casts SUPER! Give it a shot if you're not close to me ;)
From: Toshiya: Elk Grove Village, IL
Comments: Great bait! it pop very good, but it walks effortlessly. You get what you pay for with this bait. First time out got a 4lber. This pooper will put other poppers to shame.
From: Ryan: USA
Comments: The best top water popper that ever will be made..Im catching bass after bass of big south fl largemouths some as soon as it hits the water...i got the chartruse back bass color and its killing them..best paint...best multi action popper on the market...
From: Lee: FL
Comments: GREAT lure! I have used it on about 5 trips and I have caught several big bass and a ton of otheres. The biggest I have caught on it so far was a 6lb'er. I have the PM Gill color and it comes with a chartruse trailer feather and it just gets hits, its that simple.
From: Casey: East Texas
Comments: My favorite work of art from Yuki Ito. The best popper I've ever used.
From: Tom: Rome, NY
Comments: Hard to find lure, bought one on an expo in Michigan, best top water plug ever...masterpiece!
From: David: Leon, GTO, MX
Comments: I LOVE THIS BAIT!!! One of the best topwater lures out there, you can walk the dog with it, and impart some crazy action out of it when you play around with it!! Just lost one tonight to a very big Northern Pike!! Awsome bait. Up north use leaders!! And yes, they catch big bass too!!
From: Mr. Bond: East Lansing, MI
Comments: These are the best topwater baits you can buy! Help me to land a 7lb bass on the third cast of the day.
From: Tim: Bethlehem, GA

Recommendation Letters For Education
Credential File Forms
Education majors who wish to teach, you will need to obtain at least three letters of recommendation which take the place of references. These letters collectively are often referred to as a credential file or placement file. Very few schools will consider hiring an applicant that does not have a credential file.
Many of the public schools are using or considering the use of electronic application systems; however, the system does not have an application that allows our office to upload confidential letters in such a way that students do not have access to them.
Therefore, as of Fall 2011, the Career Development Center will be transitioning education students to a self-credentialing system. This means that education students will be responsible for acquiring and sending their own letters of recommendation to those districts in which they have applied.
Recommendation Letter Tips
As with references, districts usually request three letters of recommendation. These letters speak to your character, skills, ability, and work ethic.
- Key letters for a new graduate are:
- Cooperating Teacher
- CMU staff or faculty responsible for observing your clinical experience
- Building Principal (if you have had contact with)
- CMU Advisor
- Additional suggestions for good "extra" letters:
- CMU Professor within a specific discipline: i.e. Science, Social Science, Math, English, etc.
- Athletics: i.e. coached little league in the summer
- Music: i.e. given private lessons, church pianist/organist, music leader
- Elementary or Early Childhood: i.e. worked in a daycare, as a nanny, tutoring
- Obtain your letters:
- Ask references at least one month before you will be finished with your student teaching
- Create a 'packet' for each person you ask that includes: guidelines for writing a Letter of Recommendation, an up to date resume and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The envelope is a courtesy and helps facilitate getting the letter done and to you in a timely manner.
- Once you have acquired your letters, our office can assist you in scanning your letters into a PDF file for uploading into an electronic application system.
- If you choose to persue your career in a different school system or district, you will need to aquire updated letters of recommendation. Recommended letter writers would be: Peers, Building, Principle, Superintedent
- Sending your letters
- When you apply to a school district it is automatically presumed that you will mail or upload your letters of recommendation. Make sure you send copies of your letters and keep the originals in your file.
- We highly recommend that you follow up all electronic applications with a mailed hard copy of your application materials. These materials should be compiled in the following order: Cover Letter, Resume, Recommendation Letters, Unofficial Transcript.
- We also recommend that you keep a record of schools to which you have applied. I.e. person and title of the person to whom you sent the file, name of school and date.
- Names of administrators, addresses, phone and fak information for public school districts in the state of Missouri can be foudn on the DESE school directory website: http://dese.mo.gov/directory

Topic: RMagick segmentation fault on Image.new
I have just installed RMagic and the ImageMagick libs on a Mac. My test script is just:
require 'RMagick'
include Magick
f = Image.new(100,100) { self.background_color = "red" }
The script works fine as a ruby script, run from irb, run from rails console, but not form a method in a helper class.
It fails with "/Users/bnelson/rails_projects/demo_app/app/helpers/blast_graphic.rb:20: [BUG] Segmentation fault" when the Image.new method is called.

I've just been reading Randall Buth's fascinating post of a year ago (Jan 26, 2012) in the thread "Buth and Diacritical Marks" (http://ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/viewtop ... a89c#p4436). The whole question of how Koine Greek texts were written and pronounced in the era of our concern has arisen anew in the proofreading work that Louis Sorenson and I have done on the soon-to-be-published third edition of Funk's Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek (see viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1691&p=9117#p9117). In one of our exchanges on whether the υ of the imperative λύε is long or short, we've raised the question whether there is any distinction between long and short iota or upsilon in Hellenistic Greek. Louis suggested that Randall probably would be content with using a monotonic keyboard for writing Koine Greek -- eliminating grave and circumflex accents. I seem to recall a discussion from a year or two ago about trying to conform our spelling and pronunciation of Biblical Greek to the scribal usage of the first century, such conformity to include not writing accents at all, or perhaps only a monotonic accent. My recollection is that Randall did not favor such an attempt, and that he argued rather that the spelling and accentuation of our modern printed Biblical Greek texts is important for pronunciation. I wonder whether we might revisit that question.
Randall says that the imposition of standard spelling and accentuation as we know it came in with the scribal shift to minuscule writing in the 9th century and that it imposed an Attic system of accentuation upon the Hellenistic Biblical texts. If that's a misunderstanding, I wonder whether Randall and/or others who really know about these matters would enlighten the rest of us. I'm only aware of Germans taking strict care to standardize orthographical usage so that spelling and sounding of words better represent the practice of speakers at the current time. Would it even be possible -- or desirable -- to think about writing Hellenistic Greek so that it more accurately represents the way Hellenistic Greek was spoken (and written) in the time and places of interest to us?

Skip to comments.LAPD Declares Citywide Tactical Alert
Posted on 07/14/2013 9:32:08 PM PDT by furquhart
Getting hotter in Los Angeles, from the sound of it.
Shut down the Obama Phones.
I bet 98% of these low-information idiots couldn't even find Sanford, Florida on a map.
Is this the riots? They better not mess with the Korean shop keepers. They will be ready this time.
Just erect a quick razor wire fence around them and let them kill one another.
Trust me, I won't lose a wink of sleep.
The link isn't taking me to anything that confirms this alert...
They certainly don't have a clue how the criminal justice system works.
Even though 98% of them have already been thru it
They were ready last time.
Yeah, it's not like they have to get up and go to work in the morning.
You wouldn't be able to immediately without knowing where it is beforehand. I'm sure it would be the same with Muncie, Indiana, or Erie, PA. Both places I've been to, that I wouldn't know where they are without looking for them.
Your exactly right! I think ignoring them will work the best...
"We think it's going to remain that way," he said.
Brown said he heard the crowd grew to some 200 but was now starting to dissipate
"We think it's going to remain that way," he said.
Brown said he heard the crowd grew to some 200 but was now starting to dissipate
Listening to the scanner... doesn't sound like much is happening. From the looks of the pics from this afternoon, most of the agitators were lily white college kids who fancy themselves down wit da struggle. I wouldn't count on any quality rioting from them.
Women delivering newspapers might want to skip their deliveries now that LAPD is on alert...
That may be true, but I bet the older ones remember Fred Sanford.
@politicsofamy we got stupid asian women being electrocuted.by iphones and city wide LAPD tactical alerts...
RT @BHScanner LAPD giving an order for protesters to get off of street. —Now things are about to get interesting...
I was surprised at the pictures from NY at how many whites were there. Probably gun control types.
thunderdome it. or escape from new york it. however you want to describe it.
"Shut up, dummy!" /fred sanford
Where were there protests in NY?
Young, guilty white liberals that voted for Obama.
Okay so can FR not be a part of the race pimp enabler crowd and give it the relevance it deserves—Jesus folks they have done what they needed to do— so in your life what is more important making you a trained seal by way of Obamacare or wasting your life on some sad so called "we need the money" social justice steaming pile in Florida.
I haven't heard anything within the past two hours of any problems....and I live here. There were some stirrings around 4pm in around Crenshaw and the 10 Freeway on ramp.
I left LA 20 years ago. Never looked back.
Live stream NYC
Lot of whites, mostly females though, on the Houston news tonight in support of Martin. Also some women carrying signs saying, "Koreans for Martin". The press could do a whole lot to dissipate all of this if they would simply not cover any aspect of it for a while but, of course, that doesn't fit their agenda.
One of the best things that could happen, IMO, is for Facebook, Twitter and all texting functions to be totally down for about 6 months.
"Occupy" leftist radical white flakes. They're the ones behind these so-called "protests."
Sunlight is the best disinfectant. I think it's important that we be vigilant toward the media and the masses regarding this verdict, at least for the time being. I don't think we should focus on this for months to come, but right now it's quite relevant, in my opinion.
I don't think any FReepers have forgotten all the other important things going on. Whether we like it or not, this is a national story, and the reactions of the masses will have national implications.
That article was from yesterday..
"I was surprised at the pictures from NY at how many whites were there."
I had the exact same reaction. Retreads from OWS. And there weren't that many.
Hard core leftists for the most part.
Weaselzippers has some pics and 911 text messages.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Leaving for work in 6 hours. maybe better find a new route.
What few blacks are left in LA, just didn't seem interested...The whites are probably trying to get the Hispanics riled up...But they don't seem to be biting either...
That's a fantastic idea!
4. It's pretty hot and humid outside!
I make my final escape from California in less than two weeks. I can't wait.
I'll be driving down the 405 tomorrow afternoon around 2 pm. Hope they stick to the 10,
Most of them couldn't find California on a map.
Which direction you going whistling?
I've lived in North East Los Angeles all my life. I'm 72.
Thanks for the link. It is from Saturday night. In Phoenix, my son and his family drove cross town late afternoon on Saturday. They counted 12 police cruisers on the trip. This is the most police presence in Phoenix that they had ever seen.
Don't be distracted. The Federal government is going to use sleight of hand, to keep our attention focussed on riots and demonstrations like the ones in Oakland, San Francisco and elsewhere, to try and give Boehner and Cantor breathing room to force amnesty for illegal aliens down our throats. DON'T LET THEM DO THIS!!

In Fiscal Year 2014, SSA assigned approximately 5.6 million original Social Security numbers (SSNs) and issued about 10.4 million replacement SSN cards. In the same fiscal year, SSA also recorded approximately $751 billion in employment taxes related to earnings under assigned SSNs.
Assigning SSNs only to those individuals authorized to obtain them, protecting information once the numbers are assigned, and accurately posting earnings reported under SSNs are critical SSA missions.
These reports describe our efforts to meet these missions.

Amory has spent the last couple of fastpitch seasons, already in competitive Monroe County, working its way up the Class 4A contenders ladder.
Two junior Baileys, center fielder Bailey Oswalt and catcher/outfielder Bailey Boyd, have played big roles in that climb.
The two Lady Panthers will get more practice and more exposure today in the Mississippi Association of Coaches Fastpitch All-Star Games at Jones County JC.
Amory second-year coach Amir Hunt says their improvement, and his team's, has been well gauged by the Monroe County Tournament.
"I don't know a lot about the program before I got here, but it seems like it was always Smithville, Hamilton and Hatley. I know it's just the Monroe County Tournament, but you can pretty much gauge how well your team is doing from that tournament."
Amory won it last season and played North champ Houston within a hit or two of a playoff series win.
The Class 1A/2A/3A North takes on the South at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The 4A/5A/6A games are scheduled for 1:30 p.m. and following the second small schools game. The games feature six Monroe players.
Formerly for seniors, the event switched two years ago to a junior event.
"For Oswalt, she's been going at it really hard trying to get her name recognized," Hunt said. "She had a really good junior year and she's starting to get recognized."
"Boyd plays hard, works hard and is incredibly smart at two different spots on the field. Playing this game will do a whole lot for their confidence, against the best of the best in the state. It will pay off their senior year."
Area teams have 10 of the 12 players on the North 1A/2A/3A roster, including catcher Bailey Bogue and pitcher Brittany Taylor from Class 1A state runner-up West Union, as well as Lady Eagles' coach Lisa Bogue.

The washer's pump system delivers 15 HP worth of high-volume water at about 60 PSI, and the phosphatizing system uses 7.5 HP at about 60 PSI. A 20-HP wash pump is optional. Filtration, oil skimming, and sludge drag options help to maintain water quality. The unit is designed for manufacturers who are intending to wet paint or powder coat metal surfaces using monorail-type conveyance.
