In the TV show Jessie, Debby Ryan stars as Jessie, a starry-eyed teenager born and raised in a military family, who ventures to New York City and becomes a nanny to 4 kids. Born May 13, 1993, Ryan was actually raised in a military family and spent her early years in Alabama, Texas, and Germany. Read our interview to find out more about her early life, and her life as an actress now.
Q: Moving around so much when you were young, were you ever bullied?
Debby: Yes. I was in public school in Germany and I had to learn German really quickly to acclimate. I still got made fun of for being different. Then we moved back and went to American public school [in 6th grade]. My first week there, this boy kicked me in the back of the knee when I was in the hallway. All of my papers flew and everything fell. It was like a really bad, cheesy movie where all my papers, like, flutter to the ground, and I'm like horrified and everyone's giggling and snickering. The bell rings and people just leave me there, and I have to get all my things and I know I'm going to get a tardy thing and have to deal with that. I bruised my knee, so it hurt to walk. I was just so bummed and embarrassed by the entire situation.
Q: Why are people so mean?
Debby: I was really insecure, so I was a weak target and it just made him feel good to make other people not feel good. I realized it's less about me and more about him. That was his issue and he took it out on me. It makes you learn quickly and realize that those are the people you don't want to be around.
When I went to school the next year I saw a girl sitting alone and I sat and ate with her. It sounds easy but it's a total long shot because if you go and you sit with them and they're like, "Why are you sitting with me? I don't know you," it can be completely embarrassing. But I always found the people that ended up being bullied or isolated, and befriended them. By being bullied, you know what it feels like, and then you get to the point of saying, "If I can keep one person from feeling like this, then I've done my job."
I've seen my kids go through it too, the 4 kids on my show [Jessie]. We talked about it. When I was starting to be an actor, it wasn't a cool thing. It was like, "Oh, you think you're going to be famous? You think you're going to be in Hollywood? Oh, that's so cute." Like, "Oh look, Debby thinks she's cool." So I wouldn't tell people when I would miss school for auditions or have to leave practice early. I would just kind of do my own thing.
Karan [who plays Ravi] was talking about when he was filming a movie and coming back and people saying, "What you were really doing?" And Cameron [who plays Luke] was talking about how people were like, "Oh, I'm sure you were off filming a movie with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Like, I'm so sure." There are millions of people all around the world wishing they were you, and then you go into school and there's people making fun of you for being you.
Q: How do you get along with the kids on the show? Do they ever get on your nerves like little brothers and sisters?
Debby: No. They understand that in addition to being Big Sister Debby and Nanny Debby and running lines with them all the time and painting their nails on Wednesdays and making them their Easy Mac on set, that I also am co-producing a TV show, and creating a web series. It's hard because all I want to do is just sit with them and be like, "Ok, do you have any questions about this scene? Let's go over your lines. You're doing physical comedy this week. This is a new thing for you. How do you feel about being in the harness? Are you comfortable?" I mean, they are brilliant, hard-working kids. They're all so incredibly special and smart and perceptive and fearless. You have to be fearless to do comedy. And when you're a kid, tripping over things and being uncoordinated and making silly faces, it's the last thing you want to do because you're like, "I'm not even cool with who I am when I'm not looking like an idiot." I have so much respect for them. They're adorable. I love them.
Q: What has been your favorite scene to shoot?
Debby: There was a scene where I fell into a giant tub of mud. That scene was fun. Cleaning up and pulling Q-tips full of mud out of my ears for the next three days – not as fun. I always like anything that involves stunts. There was a scene where I was in a stunt harness hanging on a window-washing rig, and it was falling and being pulled each direction, so I was supposed to fall and lean in every direction the window-washing rig was. A bucket ends up on my head. There's a rat on the windowsill. I am barefoot and in a ball gown, hoisted above the ground with pads under me. I have two speeches to memorize, so I'm supposed to coordinate all of that. But I love stuff like that. What's so interesting is that while it's a week of set up and hours of rehearsal and stunt rigging and everything, and it's two hours to shoot, it's about 15 seconds of a clip that's in the episode.
Q: You're always are so stylish. Do you have any suggestions for a girl that doesn't have a great budget?
Debby: I take things from my brother's closet. A guy's clothes are not going to fit you like you're a chick, so you can kind of play with it. Something I did with one of his old shirts is cut little slits in it and threaded a ribbon through it and tied it at the waist. So you have a bow, a nice little detail and you just gave it a different shape. Cuffing T-shirt sleeves and cutting neck lines – those are all really easy ways to customize things and figure out how to wear them. Look at one person whose style you really admire. Whatever it is, look at that kind of style icon and look at what they are wearing. Look at paparazzi shots of them going to the grocery store. What are they looking like when they're going to Target? Are they wearing flats and jeans? So find someone with a body type similar to yours and kind of rip off some of their cuts and how it works for them.
Q: What is one thing you wish everyone would do to make the world a better place?
Debby: It's that classic quote: "Be the change." If you don't like something, stop pointing fingers at the people who are doing it. Look at yourself and exemplify that. Exemplify what you want to be and what you find beautiful and marvelous and intriguing in a person, so other people see that and be attracted to it and want to be like it.
Aww. She is so sweet. I read a rumor that she is dating Spencer Boldman from Lab Rats. I don't know if it's true or not, but I think they would be an adorable couple.

By JO SANSEVEROFormer Ferron City Council Member
I am writing this letter to clarify a rumor that has been going around in the county for the past couple weeks, the rumor involves Laurie Pitchforth a current candidate for county commissioner and her tenure on the Ferron City Council. I would like to speak to this rumor; I was serving on the council at the time and served with Laurie.
Laurie was an excellent council member and served her full term. She represented the city well and for the complete time that she was elected. Her term is a public record and anyone who is interested in the truth can have access to the city records just by requesting this information by calling 384-2350 and asking for a copy of the closing minutes for the last year that Laurie served.
I was there and served with Laurie so what I'm saying is not a rumor it is a fact as are the minutes from the meetings.

Skip to comments.Nearly blew my stack over Watergate tape gap: Nixon
Posted on 11/12/2011 5:00:26 PM PST by InvisibleChurch
Former US President Richard Nixon told a US grand jury "I practically blew my stack" when he learned of the long gap on a White House tape sought in the Watergate scandal investigation, according to transcripts released on Thursday.
In one of the biggest political scandals in US history, much has been made of the 18 1/2-minute gap on tapes of Nixon's White House conversations. The key question -- did it include incriminating information about the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters by his campaign operatives?
Nixon spent hours before the grand jury on June 23 and 24, 1975, almost a year after he resigned due to the involvement of his aides and campaign in the attempt to bug his political opponents' offices at the Watergate complex and the subsequent cover-up.
In office from 1969 to 1974, Nixon stepped down in the face of almost certain impeachment over a scandal that damaged national trust in the White House and government.
Nixon, who died on April 22, 1994, was pardoned a month after he left the White House by his successor, President Gerald Ford. He was interviewed by the Watergate Special Prosecution Force before two grand jury members in California.
"Rose had thought it was four minutes ... and now the counsel have found that it is eighteen and a half minutes, and I practically blew my stack," Nixon told the grand jury.
At another point, he said he wished they could recover the tape, to which one of the prosecutors, Richard Davis replied, "I think we all do." There have been recent efforts to recover the audiotape with modern technology but those have failed.

sorry, I really dont care about a campaign break in
now,if you want to talk about selling nuclear secrets to the chinese ... then I'm interested
of course, what does a little congressional report detailing the wholesale export of military tech to china have to do with national security... nah... nothing to worry about
You wouldn't worry about a full scale propaganda assault on American college students funded by the communists?
Met somebody that worked at a military arsenal. (yes. I know which arsenal) They were ordered to give the Chinese a tour of R&D during Clinton's presidency.
Guess that is why Henry Kissinger was a shill for China then and is a shill for China now.
Tell me about it. Compared to Clintoon Nixon was an amateur. Watergate - one gate. Clintoon: Rapegate, Chinagate, Monicagate, Arlingtongate, Whitewatergate, travelgate, Paulagate, forget it...I'll be here for the next three weeks writing all the gates of the Clintoon.
Enemies List? Check. Clinton had their FBI files.
The media just yawned and said it was a mistake.
Clinton lied under oath. The MSM didn't even blink. Heck, NY made his wife a Senator.
In that gap I can imagine that he sought the help of God almighty against Americas enemies.
They were anad are so numerous, so strong, so powerful, so in league with satan.
I never really cared for Nixon, though he honored me with a handshake.
But Nixon was what he was and he was martyred for it.
I'm not a great fan of Nixon's, although for different reasons than the MSM. For instance, he was the guy who established the EPA.
But Watergate was a very minor infraction, which was set off in the first place by some crooked shennanigans by the Democrats. Numerous Presidents—Democrats especially, have done many worse things.
Watergate was all about headlines. Headlines across the top of the front page of the Washington Compost and the NY Times, day after day after day. What had Nixon done to deserve this kind of unprecedented coverage? Little or nothing. What they really resented is that he had gone after some of their Communist pals earlier.
If Nixon had faults, and he certainly had some, it was his willingness to lean to the left from time to time.
Had their been something juicy on there about the Republican Party, you can be assured it would not have been erased.
Or does the public believe that the secretary decided to erase that part, and leave the rest (which was incriminating to the Republicans)?
Correct. Nixon was driven from office for having exposed a few of the traitors liberals put into government and tolerated. Watergate was nothing. His truly toxic legacy was the EPA, the Philadelphia Plan (affirmative action), a declinist foreign policy, Burger, Blackmun, etc.
That he did, but I remember him affectionately.
He did love America, and the fault I see that cost him the most was his inability to think like a criminal, that's why the leftists and Marxists got over on him so easily.
A criminal or Marxist could see how the EPA could be used far beyond it's intended purpose, an honest man would read it in it's spirit.
Anyone wanting to know more about this and how things are done in Washington DC read the book "Family of Secrets" by Russ Baker Amazing revelations!
"Well, senator, when I was transcribing the tape, the phone rang. Then my left hand went here, my right foot went here, and my left foot way over there. That's when I may have hit the wrong button on the tape recorder."
"What, Mr Senator? Oh... Well this may not be widely known, but I do come from a circus family."
BTW, the taping system Nixon used that was so "horrible" was installed by...LBJ. And rumor has it that JFK used a similar system. Nixon knew he was a historical figure and wanted to get the transcript "correct". Stupidly it ended up costing him the Presidency. Imagine if Clinton used a similar taping system. History would NOT be kind. And Clinton knew it.
Who knew he could rap like Run-DMC?

Having sex in the Oval Office, fine. Just don't expect others to go to prison to protect your God-given "right" to have an intern lick your anus. Ref: Starr Report.
I heard somewhere the whole thing started with an investigation of a prostitution ring involving John Dean's wife, Maureen.
IIRC, right before the gap he talks about the burlgars being cuban, and how if it gets out it could "blow the whole Cuban thing" or something to that affect.
I always wondered if he was referring to the Bay of Pigs, as I believe the Cuban guys in the break-in were involved with Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs.
The whole break-in was Dean's business anyway - may he rot in hell someday. (From the excellent book "Silent Coup").
see my post 24.
see my post 24.
political enemies including the lamestream media.
same vigilance caused him to become obsessed with political enemies at home.
If he had succeeded we might not be putting up with the enemies we have at home today. Just sayin'
I would point out that even so, Reagan was taken in on amnesty because of the same fault Nixon had, he made the mistake of believing he was dealing with honorable men.
The American Rat left is like the left elsewhere, they are criminals without honor.
I am not a close student of Watergate but have some acquaintences who have gone the extra mile, including two who actually sat down and read the transcripts of all the tapes. Neither is a professional historian (fairly accomplished amateur historians, however) or a politico with an axe to grind. Both had the impression, which is shared by a number of the published authors on Watergate, that Nixon simply didn't know what had happened. Unless a smoking gun emerges, I will continue to entertain that hypothesis. It's really Occam's Razor: Nixon's mishandling of the whole mess is most simply explained by ignorance. Had he known what was up, he probably could have found a way to cut his losses and contain the damage early.
That leads right back to the big unanswered question: who ordered the break-in, and what was the real target?
Nixon was the worst Republican President this country has had. He got caught being very immoral. I don't think Ford should have pardoned him. He deserved to be in jail. I can care less about Democrats. The Democrats can deal with their own and we should deal with our own. We deserve better than a crooked Republican President.
Yet, the lead counsel for the Nixon impeachment proceedings, Jerome Zeifman, allowed as how Nixon himself committed no discernible crime and wouldn't have been prosecuted even if Ford had not pardoned him.
Well, sphinx, I think it goes back to loyalty. I agree, there's nothing that's ever come out in 41 years that suggests that Nixon knew of, or approved the burglary. His idiot underlings wanted to destroy the democratic nominee by hook or by crook. How ironic, since Nixon crushed McGovern so handily. He had absolutely NO reason to fear McGovern, but people like G.Gordon Liddy thought that the best way to get rid of ones enemies is by cutting off their heads. Read the book "Will". Liddy's philosophy is that when America is threatened, you do everything possible to defend her, even by breaking the law. THAT explains the "reason". Nixon thought he could cover up those misguided fools who were trying to "help" him. The chips fell down and Nixon took the fall. Literally falling on his sword.
Oh, and sphinx, there is a very tangled web that involves Howard Hughes, big Nixon supporter. The plumbers wanted to break into a safe that might contain incriminating evidence about democrats. Hughes REFUSED to allow it, because he had so many skeletons in his own closet and didn't want them revealed.
The right would be well served to become more obsessed with domestic marxists, the political enemy at home, for they are an order of magnitude more dangerous to the Republic than any country on either side of the Atlantic or Pacific.
The domestic communists must be dealt with.
This is not going to be solved at the ballot box, for the marxists have usurped the Founders Constitution and enfranchised all, turning the Republic in a doomed to fail Democracy.
"Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." James Madison
Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams: letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.:Thomas Jefferson
I think the greatest foreign policy achievement was changing our relation with Israel during Yom Kippur war. The effect of Israel defeating her enemies who grossly out numbered Israel and heavily supplied by the Soviet Union with American equipment damaged the Soviet Unions credibility.
Nixon is the most likely candidate to have created the tape gap.
The old book "Silent Coup" by Len Colodny from 1992 is VERY well documented. They surmised that Dean authorized the break-in, but was not truthful to the others in the reason. (His to-be wife was a hooker, and her name was in a little black book that the Dems had or something like that. He was trying to steal the book?)
But, the book goes into MUCH more than that, and how our military was spying on and trying to get rid of Nixon, etc.

Posted on 02/02/2013 3:46:13 AM PST by ABrit
Thandiwe testified he purchased a gun to enforce beliefs hed developed about white people during his years as an anthropology major at the University of West Georgia.
I was trying to prove a point that Europeans had colonized the world, as a result, we see a lot of evil today, he said. In terms of slavery, it was something that needed to be answered for. I was trying to spread the message of making white people mend.
The night before at a Peace Party, he was enraged that two white people were there.
I was upset, he said. I was still upset Friday. I took the gun to work because I was still upset from Thursday night.
Thandiwe said during his last few years in college, his history studies changed his thoughts about how some white people treated black people.
In terms of slavery and race, it was something that needed to be answered for. I saw it as something that the black community hasnt recovered from so my initial way to handle that was to spread information to help combat some of the ignorance that was in the black community about our history,.
Correct me if Im wrong, but you were trying to spread the message of making white people the enemy, asked District Attorney Linda Dunikoski.
Yes, replied Thandiwe.
His second episode of racial violence in less than a month, he assailed a visiting courier with racial epithets and had to be physically restrained from striking and causing harm to visitors at a parking garage where he worked.
Racial resentment is the new mothers milk of education, said a prison psychologist who did not wish to be identified. Students, black and white, learn from their earliest days that blacks are victims and powerless to fight racism, he said.

I appreciate this guy's candor; our government is doing much more harm with affirmative action policies than this insignificant nothing.
Gee, I don't remember ever hearing about this case in the MSM. It must just be an accident that it was never a big story, right? R-I-G-H-T.
"Images by Tyrone Greene (Eddie Murphy)"
Dark and lonely on a summer's night. Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord. Watchdog barking. Do he bite? Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord. Slip in his window. Break his neck. Then his house I start to wreck. Got no reason. What the heck? Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord. C-I-L-L my land lord!
He proved the contrary. The evil comes from 'his' culture. It comes from those snake-bellied politicians and race mongers who filled his head and heart with race hate to fill the emptiness of his own shortcomings. He, like a huge percentage of his race, traded his vote for hate and the entitlements their Obama government deigns to give them - if they keep voting.
As for the part about 'mending' white people, yeah, he's 'mended' me. The 'mended' me doesn't give a rat's patooty about what he and his people think any more. It is the reason why I never leave home without protection from them.
Hehe, that's my favorite comedy sketch ever. The Dave Chappelle show genius.
I believe this individual's thinking reflects that of the current occupant of the White House as well as many of the Democrats in Congress.
They, and we have suffered from an education system that wants to erase the true history and struggles before during and after slavery and WHO made the changes necessary to bring us to where we are and they are today. History is deliberately being erased from the classroom and being rewritten and the propaganda lies are being taught in schools, broadcast via the scumedia the scum politicians and parties to create this divide,encouraging hate, resentment and they hope violence. Just one more way to bring about the ultimate lie "change" which equates to CONTROL
If they're mad about slavery, they should take it to the Moslems. African Moslems invented and promoted the African slave trade and still run it to this day. Though they have lost their European customers, they still capture and sell African and European slaves to the Arab nations and to illegitimate customers throughout the world.
Meanwhile, Moslem Albania is famous as a source of white slaves.
"...at a parking garage where he worked."
That says a lot right there. The value being an antropology major, for one thing, unless he also minored in parking cars.
What? the msm didn't report this hate crime?
I believe you are right.
I am 70, as a child I remember blacks as respectful people that we never had a problem with. We respected them, they respected us. They had their own recreation we had ours ,they had their own schools we had ours. I don't remember much hate. Maybe they were hiding it,I don't know, but the two peoples sure got along good together. We could and did go to their neighborhoods with no problems.
Then the schools integrated, the amusement parks integrated we had race riots at the amusement parks, we had problems at the schools, and it went downhill from there.
I don't know the reason, and don't care to speculate, but that's when the big racist problems started.Today blacks are taught from birth to hate The Man.
Yes: I do believe Obama to be a major league racist, taught it nearly from birth by Frank Davis, his real father. Communist , Rapist, Porn writer,and Racist.
Paul Kersey pegs it:
"Taking the concept of white privilege to its logical conclusion.
This is what Nkosi Thadiwe has done in Atlanta, Georgia.
The blood of Brittney Watts is on your hands, Mr. Tim Wise
He shot three white girls.
One white girl is dead; another is paralyzed; another escaped with only a scar to remind her of... her "white privilege."...........
Tim Wise, congratulations. Southern Poverty Law Center, congratulations. Colleges and Universities across the nation, congratulations.
He simply told the court that he was trying to spread the message of making white people mend. And he did that, by shooting three white girls.
Killing Brittney Watts in the process, an act that Tim Wise (a professional white privilege provocateur, who goes from college to college collecting big pay checks denouncing the very people who built this nation) would obviously applaud.
After all, Mr. Thandiwe is an adherent, a proud disciple of the church of white privilege (a relgion in Black-Run AmericaBRA) which so many Disingenuous White Liberals proudly teach is the reason so many non-whites cant compete in western civilization.
Right Mr. Wise?"
The big mistake is civilized people using civilized behavior and standards when dealing with STONE-AGE TRIBAL SAVAGES...
Gangsta's are the highest form of civilization most savages will ever create.
They might want to remember who it was that INVENTED THE GUN...
GREAT episode!!!!
The vile hate, racism & double standards of the leftwing kooks in the "regressive" black community is, simply put, satanic at their core.
I saw that Dave Chappell skit. It was hilarious and ironic.
Good get re Paul Kersey, a true expert on the failure of black America! There are a number of websites that have been on top of these racist black crimes against innocent whites. Unfortunately the vanilla Republicans are cowed by the truth and will not stand up for themselves or other victims. I hope that the families of the victims will sue the Parking Co., the SPLC/NAACP, the West GA. College + Professors and the black run City of Atlanta!
Just another example of black on white racist violence that was provoked, enabled, and is supported by the Institutionalized White Guilt Complex.
Ironically, most of its most rabid proponents are white Cultural Marxist like Tim Wise and Noel Ignatiev:
Yes, and it peaks in this evil spawn of Satan...
It sure does.
The election of 2008 ripped the smiley-face mask off the face of black racism in America.
And a lot of whites enable that racism.
It was comedy genius the best part being that he divorced his wife because she was a "nigger lover" (his words not mine)...lol
Frankfurt School's goals.
Had to go through the "city" section of Baltimore the other day.
It was shocking — the worst ghetto I've ever seen, in my life. I feared for my life as I drove through these streets.
One thing that stuck out most — the massive amounts of garbage just strewn everywhere in their neighborhoods. All over the sidewalks — all throughout the park areas. It was everywhere. Horrible. Why don't they even bother to pick up their own trash?? It's pitiful.
And so it struck me — these people need to "pick up the trash" from their yards AND from their own lives first ...no one will EVER be able to help those who cannot or will not even bother to help themselves. They are given EVERYTHING for free ...yet they literally just trash it. Are we also to go in and pick up their trash FOR them??
I have NO pity on this segment of blacks in our society. They are hopeless, as long as they refuse to help themselves.
I applaud the ones who make it out of that mess.
Unless I am mistaken, black tribes in Africa enslaved other tribal members and sold them to the white slave traders. In addition, if you look carefully, the muslims were and have always been involved even to this day in slave trade. So get off you pity pot and live the life given to you by God Almighty in this still free country.
He was black and angry. They were white and guilty, just the way he learned in school.
So he shot them.
Thats the evidence that has emerged from the Atlanta trial of Nkosi Thandiwe, who has been sentenced to life in prison plus 65 years for shooting three white girls last year. One died, one is paralyzed.
She did ONCE say something common sense I still agree with.
Some government officials seem to think they have the power to do away with death and had made some silly statement about it. I think it had to do with spending more money on aids.
Her response was that "sooner or later everybody's going to die of something anyhow".
That was about the only bit of common sense that came from anybody in the Clinton administration.
Tim Wise is a fraud. He views himself as an academic, but he never got beyond a bachelor's degree (which he is apparently very sensitive about). He sees himself as a master of statistics, but his education is in political science. He rails against "white privelege", but he himself lives in an exclusive all white neighborhood. The man is a construct of social media.
His groupies claim he is "erudite", but is have seen reposted exchanges with him where he drops the F bomb and goes unhinged when he is challenged. (For some reason I can't see Socrates replying "F*** You" in a debate) His writing reminds me more of a bitchy latent homosexual than any kind of scholar. A very hypersensitive and small man is Timothy Jacob Wise.
I wonder if the unfortunate children of Tim Wise worry that their Daddy hates them because they have white skin. He probably tells them not to worry about it because it's not something he can cash in on.
Good points. Agree completely.
It's not just blacks, either. I have seen appaling levels of filth and clutter in Hispanic and white 'Rat areas too. And consider the garbage-strewn cesspools that the "Occupy" movement created (and left behind for others to clean up).
I think it's a combination of the marxist/socialist mentality coupled with the "tragedy of the commons".
By the way, the "tragedy of the commons" afflicts the wealthy too. And it's at the root of the FedGov attitude that says "Borrow and spend now! Who cares if our kids drown in debt!"
Christianity, not government regulation, is the antidote to the tragedy of the commons. Men who worship the Creator and follow the teachings of Jesus are self-motivated not to spoil the commons for everyone else to satisfy their own greed.
The Founders, in their God-given wisdom, understood this.
The billboard in the picture connected to the article reads, "It's hard to see racism when you're white."
By that token, it has to be equally hard to [fully] understand racism when you're one of its victims, right? I mean what can you REALLY know about your racist 'master'? What can you understand about HIS mind? Why HE does what HE does? How can you know what it's like to walk around sensing you are superior and feeling the need (indeed, compelled by society) to demonstrate that in ways that seek to demean and dehumanize? You can't! You can't know any of it...the pain...the anguish...the sorrow...the...the...self-loathing that comes with it.
No. Being compelled to be racist by white privilege is a white thing. A black person couldn't understand. In fact, many whites are some of its [white privilege syndrome's] greatest victims! We did not create this "white privilege syndrome," yet many of us suffer as a result of it. We are to walk around all the days of our lives being cast/miscast as a racist simply by virtue of being of the same race as the evil practitioners/manipulators of "white privilege syndrome." If that isn't being a victim, then I don't know what is. And, further, we are cast in this light by blacks! They are actually calling us names, hating us without a cause, perpetrating violence against us all in the name of "white privilege syndrome." They are, if truth be told, abusing a class of people who actually suffer from the very malady they use to justify their attacks, thus making these unfortunate souls its double-victims!
My question is when is someone going to take up the mantle to fight for the silent and helpless victims of "white privilege syndrome": white people? No group suffers more, and, yet, the world remains silent. Why?
When I remind my students that there was slavery before the slave trade that came to America, they look stunned, as if something has been kept from them.
Translation: While the Black Community was well on the road to recovery and even beginning to flourish, the Leftist ideas and pogroms turned that around nicely. I want to ensure that common sense and decency play no part in the equation; the Black Community should NEVER be allowed to recover. They need to stay angry and depressed so racist, bigoted, misanthropes like myself can use their rage to ensure violence against the only White people who ever really helped them (the Conservatives) and to ensure they remember that they are still slaves to the Liberals who like them better that way.
It is exactly as you describe. Filthy, run down and trash everywhere. People hanging out on every corner, or passed out on the sidewalk. Just disgusting.
I was never so glad to find my way out of that maze.
Bingo! Blacks were on the road to recovery until they came to rely on others (government) to do the hard work for them. The New Deal/the Great Society share this: they are socialist programs and behind these socialist programs is an agenda. Race/class are the ways the communist manipulates strands of society to fight among themselves. What Obama is doing is the "finishing work." He's putting a nice trim on things by ensuring that blacks cannot succeed in a capitalist society (without an education you can't...without an intact family it's hard...when you are prey to the streets it's doubtful). The communist age is almost upon us. The polarization of black/white - rich/poor is almost irrevocably set. The minds have been made (and made up) to think no more. The racist murderer in the story is a hero to many (think about that!)
The true house negroes (the Jacksons, the Sharptons, the Wests, the Dysons, the Robinsons, you could go on) do nothing but engender racial hostility with every waking breath. These are the new house negroes, because they are being used by their slave masters, the socialist/communist agenda folk to ensure that there is no rest for the land. Their minds are filled with hatred and bigotry (none so blind as he who WILL not see). They never NEVER speak to their own communities' shortfalls without laying it all (ultimately) at the foot of white racism. How convenient.
When I was teaching in Brooklyn, NY in the 1980's-1990's (the days of Dinkins—another race hustler) I remember time and time again my students (who were all black) wanting to get into discussions about race. There would be a bit of tension as they could get themselves pretty worked up (some of them) about slights (perceived or real) that they themselves had suffered. They would look at me, some with glaring eyes, some with searching eyes...but all riveted on me, wanting to know what to make of it all. Invariably, I would say something to the effect, "Are there racists in the world? You bet there are. Racism is a form of hatred and human beings are capable of hatred. There are white racists and black racists-people who hate other people because of their appearance/skin color. But that's not the real issue. The real issue is this: What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do? Are you going to become what they think you are? Or are you going to be who and what you are striving to be? In the end, the choice is yours: you can either prove them wrong, or you can prove them right. Prove them wrong." My students always went away thinking.
I grew up (first 9 years) in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Rochester NY. During the '50s, the Blacks were our friends and neighbors. They were the ones fixing up their houses and properties and making for a nice neighborhood. By the time the race riots of the '60s had come around, a number had jumped on the "Outrage Wagon" and once friends were openly hostile. BY that time, we had moved to the suburbs, but my grandparents still lived in the old neighborhood so i would visit fairly often. The neighborhood had turned around from nice and well-kept and into a slum in a matter of 8 years or so.
Sounds like the "Reality Tour" my buddy took me on in Philly some years back. People camped out at night on building steps at night like war refugess. He didn't stop for red lights.
I understand; at this point I've gone from indifference to antipathy in terms of the permanent minority urban underclass. I work with decent hardworking blacks; while some may harbor resentment they have to behave professionally (as do their white counterparts). When I see blacks really clutch the victim card to themselves, I know I'm dealing with a person who is so mentally defeated that they know they will never be the equal of whites (or browns, or reds, or yellows); affirmative action reinforces this belief in them every minute of their life. In their minds, they are so worthless that without the government forcing somebody to house and hire them, they would be living as nomads in the forest.
What a way to live; in the meantime, you are right to protect yourself against their violent thrashings against the very people who house, feed, and clothe them.
300 character limit so cut out the non quotes.
Good points. I feel the same way, going from indifference, to sympathy during and after college, to antipathy at their entrenched anti-white racism. It really shows how heroic people like Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas are, considering the thuggery of modern black culture, they are treated like race traitors, while the thugs are really species traitors, and they get away with it AND are publically supported and lauded. Rome, Part II.
During the time of Jesus, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the Roman population was enslaved, IIRC!
And there is still slavery today in Africa and the Mid East. For some reason, I don't think Whitey is doing the trading either.
Living on the edge of a welfare reservation/food desert, I was never sympathetic; my family had fled Newark before I was born, so we had no misconceptions about what we were dealing with. I worked with many older Southern blacks during high school and college (hardworking, family-oriented, no chip-on-the-shoulder), and felt they were easily the equals of whites (their children, raised in the North, didn't fare so well).
As Americans know less and less about all school subjects, we've reached a point where the abuses of the South have become more fairy tale than truth. Given that the perps in those crimes are dead, I'm fine with that; I follow up any embellishment of the South (as though it were still happening today) with my own deliberately ridiculous stories about British soldiers eating Irish children in Belfast. It is hard to convince a Yankee born in the 1970s that they had any hand in abusing blacks...
Just wait till he sees where Darwin put negroes on the evolutionary chart! Then he's really gonna be PO'd!
Does anyone know or care what it costs to keep someone in prison for life? "Don't Do The Crime If Your Life Is Worth A Dime"....not..."Don't Do The Crime If You Can't Do The Time". Time is what most criminals have the most of.
By the way, there were almost as many 'white slaves' as black ones before the War of Northern Aggression.
It was the OJ Simpson trial that woke me up. And, all of what you said. That is why Herman Cain absolutely had to be taken down as a presidential candidate. With a black role model such as him, the race hustlers would be put on defense for a change. The image of a black man being successful on his own would pierce the the diabolical meme and scare the bejeepers out of the Left.
The next upcoming black man IMO is Alan West of Florida. Although the left would bring all guns to bare on him (or should I say rope). He lost his re-districted congressional district by a thin margin, and a questionable one at that. I wish he would run for Governor of Florida. He should have been picked as the VP candidate for Romney.
Yep, the ol' white Bronco "test drive." As soon as that shot of OJ heading down the road flashed on the screen EVERYONE in America knew he was guilty. Knew it! KNEW it! But that didn't matter.
The same thing with the Rodney King case. I followed that one pretty carefully and, given the charges (the police were charged with attempted murder) they HAD to be found not guilty in a court of law. HAD TO BE! The case for attempted murder hadn't been proven. But, because of black racist pressure, the DA went after the more serious charge. The verdict was correct. But that didn't matter.
In the end, as Hillary has rightly told us, "It doesn't matter. What does it matter?" You are trying to think...but it doesn't matter. You are trying to decipher right from wrong, good from bad. But, it doesn't matter.
WE'LL tell you when it matters.
PS. Love Allan West! I love that picture of him riding his hog (juxtaposed against the one of Obama riding his Pee-Wee Herman bike). Dream ticket for me would be West-Palin or West-Cruz.

The Waratahs continued their march toward the Super Rugby knockouts with a 33-17 win over the Chiefs in New Plymouth on Saturday.
The Waratahs continued their march toward the Super Rugby knockout stages with a 33-17 victory over the Chiefs at Yarrow Stadium on Saturday.
'Tahs tries from Israel Folau, Dave Dennis and Bernard Foley in response to two from Bundee Aki ultimately proved the difference as the Australian side ended an eight-game drought in New Zealand to underline their credentials as title contenders.
By contrast, the Chiefs' title defence looks on very shaky ground as they end empty handed for the second consecutive week following the heavy loss to the Hurricanes last Saturday.
The Waratahs were well worth the four points having outscored their hosts three tries to two and impressing with the intensity of their defensive work.
The 'Tahs led 13-3 at the interval thanks to Folau's eleventh try of the season and couple of penalties from Foley, who went on to finish the game with a perfect record from the kicking tee.
Chiefs replacement back Aki touched down twice in the space of six minutes around the hour mark to put the home side ahead but 'Tahs skipper Dennis scored the game-winning try with eight minutes left before Foley's try in the last minute rubbed salt into the Chiefs' wounds.
Aaron Cruden and Foley exchanged early penalties but the 'Tahs were soon over the whitewash as Folau crossed in the corner after a great break and hand-off by Adam Ashley-Cooper, who offloaded to put his full-back away.
Foley added the conversion and a penalty on the half-hour mark to give the visitors a 10-point lead at the break.
The Chiefs were probably fortunate to still be in the game, which opened up in the second half.
A little help from the TMO saw the hosts get their first try as Aki flopped on the ball after chasing a Cruden chip, but the replays suggested he started his run from an offside position.
Cruden added the extras, but almost immediately from the restart Kurtley Beale landed a long-range penalty to leave the gap at six points.
Another grubber, this time from full-back Tom Marshall, saw Aki bag his second try with Cruden's conversion from out wide giving the Chiefs the lead for the first time since the 9th minute.
Foley added another easy three-pointer though to put the 'Tahs back in front before Dennis handed off Pauliasi Manu to break clear and race home.
Foley added the touchline conversion to leave the Chiefs trailing at 26-17.
The 'Tahs held onto possession in the closing minutes and made sure the Chiefs would not get a losing bonus point when Foley's momentum took him over the line after a good pass from Beale.
The scorers:
For Chiefs:
Tries: Aki 2
Con: Cruden 2
Pen: Cruden
For Waratahs:
Tries: Folau, Dennis, Foley
Con: Foley 3
Pen: Foley 3, Beale
Chiefs: 15 Tom Marshall, 14 Dwayne Sweeney, 13 Tim Nanai-Williams, 12 Andrew Horrell, 11 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 10 Aaron Cruden (c), 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 8 Liam Squire, 7 Sam Cane, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Matt Symons, 3 Ben Tameifuna, 2 Nathan Harris, 1 Jamie Mackintosh.
Replacements: 16 Mahonri Schwalger, 17 Pauliasi Manu, 18 Josh Hohneck, 19 Mike Fitzgerald, 20 Tanerau Latimer, 21 Brad Weber, 22 Gareth Anscombe, 23 Bundee Aki.
Waratahs: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Alofa Alofa, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Kurtley Beale, 11 Rob Horne, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Jacques Potgieter, 3 Paddy Ryan, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson.

Sir Winston Churchill's Musings on Alien Life
via theverge.com
From a recently discovered essay, drafted in the 1939 by Sir Winston Churchill, it has been revealed that in addition to being kept up to date on all scientific research of the time, the revered politician also mused on the existence of extraterrestrial life. Churchill believed that because of the vastness of the universe, there must be many suns with many planets that could potentially house life. This was well before the discovery of exoplanets. Coupling scientific reason with substantial fact—from the importance of water to an understanding of the habitable planetary zone—Churchill makes quite the case. It's assumed that the Prime Minster had intended to publish this essay, which would ultimately get donated to Fulton, Missouri's US National Churchill Museum.
Zaha Hadid's Spectacular Leeza SOHO Tower, Shanghai

One of four projects underway by Zaha Hadid Architects and SOHO China, the Leeza SOHO Tower promises to be a striking addition to Shanghai's skyline. Currently under construction, when complete the building will reach 207 meters high, and boast the world's tallest atrium—some 190 meters tall. Not only will it stretch the 46 stories of the Leeza, the atrium has also been designed with a twist, ensuring heaps of natural light no matter the time of day or season. Read more at designboom.
Royal Egyptian Scribe's 3,000-Year-Old Tomb
via news.artnet.com
Dating back to the Ramesside period, around 1200 BCE, a tomb has been unearthed on the west bank of the Nile in Egypt. Japanese archaeologists, led by Waseda University Professor Jiro Kondo, made the discovery and researchers have already deduced that the tomb belonged to Khonsu, a royal scribe. Within, ornate hieroglyphics and ceiling drawings, many of which paid homage to Khonsu, were seen and documented. Professor Kondo believes the area holds many more undiscovered tombs much like the treasure trove he just revealed.
National Geographic's New Book Celebrates 128 Years of Infographics
via itsnicethat.com
National Geographic was founded way back in 1888, and now it's celebrating 128 years of infographics with a new book published by Taschen. Despite being around long before the technological advancements we're now used to, NatGeo has always been a respected publication, and the journey through retro illustrations and graphics adds a certain charm. The book is divided into the following categories: History, The Planet, Being Human, Animal World, World of Plants, Science and Technology, and Space—complete with five fold-outs. See more at It's Nice That.
Nokia 3310 Might Return
via venturebeat.com
Whether it's social media fatigue or the brutality of brunch-planning group chats, many reasons present themselves to step back to a less computer-like mobile phone. One of the world's former favorites—the Nokia 3310—might be making a comeback, according to Evan "Evleaks" Blass. Blass has reported that Nokia owner HMD Global plans to launch an updated version of the 3310. It would be the second "dumb phone" from the brand, since the Nokia 150. The basic handset would retail for a very inexpensive amount and hopefully include many of the features that made it so popular the first time around, including a battery that seems to last forever and the ability to take a fall quite well.
Photographing the Planet Every Day From 143 Satellites
via qz.com
San Francisco-based start-up Planet just launched 88 small satellites in a record-breaking take-off from India (among a total of 103 satellites on a PSLV rocket). If all goes according to plan, Planet will begin photographing Earth every single day from their entire roster of 143 satellites, which move north to south scanning the globe. This would position Planet as the premiere provider of satellite image data. Their depth of information will also include historic date from US Landsat satellites and European Sentinel satellites, building an unparalleled glimpse at our the Earth's developments.
Google Maps Launches "Lists" So You Can Share Your Favorite Spots
via techcrunch.com
All Google Maps users (on iOS and Android) can now make lists of places to save for future reference and/or share with friends. At the time of launch, the Lists feature has three options: Favorites, Starred Places, and Want to Go. It's a clever way to keep track of old favorites, possibly quash some "Where do we eat?" dilemmas, and share travel tips with pals. Just be sure not to make your sacred, secret spots public or they'll be overrun in no time. Read more at TechCrunch.
32,000 Drinking Straws Turned Camera
via petapixel.com
From the inventive imagination of Cliff Haynes and the late photographer Mick Farrell, this wondrous photographic device allows lights to pass through 32,000 10-inch black drinking straws, encased in wood, before striking photo sensitive paper. As Haynes explains to PetaPixel, the camera has its own unique signature on images—as none of the straws are exactly even. The resulting imagery feels reminiscent of dot art, but captures portraiture in a curious balance of realism and impressionism. You can view the photographers' works over at PetaPixel.
An Exhibition of 400 Found Notes
via thecreatorsproject.vice.com
For 12 years, Sydney-based artist Laura Sullivan has been collecting discarded handwritten notes. The first one was a fairly dull shopping list, but since then she has found love notes, pro/con lists about romances, and very strange information on Post-It labels. She says she prefers the notes to come to her—she doesn't go searching, "That sounds cheesy right? But it's kind of true. I do get excited on bin day, though." An exhibition of 400 of her finds—called "Found by Laura"—will open 16 February at Sun Studios, Sydney. For those who can't see it in person, follow her project on Instagram.

Wild Green Comet Coming Our Way Saturday Morning
via space.com
For early risers on Saturday morning, a strange green comet will be visible. Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova (named for the three astronomers who discovered it back in 1948) will reach maximum brightness pre-dawn, but you'll need binoculars or a small telescope to see it properly. It will be just 7.4 million miles from Earth, and will appear as a fuzzy bluish-green ball with a fan-shaped tail—proper cartoon cosmic stuff.
375,000 Images From the Met Are Yours to Use, Free
via nytimes.com
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's public domain policy has changed this week, making 375,000 images in the collection free to be used in any which way you can think up. Additionally, the new policy makes data about the collection available. Understanding that visiting a museum is more than gazing at a full paintings, the Met also uploaded detailed images of artworks, and even their frames. All of this is an admirable effort to have art more accessible for more people. Read more at NYT.
Merriam-Webster Just Added 1000+ Words
via merriam-webster.com
Always an entertaining read, Merriam-Webster just announced the words and phrases it's adding to the dictionary this month. Among them are "throwing shade," "side eye" and even "ghost"—not the spook, but the act of abruptly cutting off contact with a person. There are also a few less-timely additions, including "first world problem," "riding shotgun" and "weak sauce." Whatever your feelings on these latest inclusions, there's no doubt that the ever-evolving nature of language is inherently fascinating.

Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body, after
calcium. About 85% of phosphorus in the body exists in bone.
Phosphorus' functions include:
Phosphorus deficiency is called hypophosphatemia. Since phosphorus is present in such a large variety of foods, dietary phosphorus deficiency is rare.
Symptoms of hypophosphatemia may include:
Phosphorus toxicity is rare in people with normal kidney function. However, those with
kidney problems
may experience hyperphosphatemia, or elevated levels of phosphorus in the blood. Hyperphosphatemia can result in decreased levels of calcium in the blood and overproduction of parathyroid hormone, which can lead to bone loss.
The following table shows the upper intake levels for phosphorus. But, it's important to note that these levels are not created for people with kidney disease. If you have problems with your kidneys and are concerned about your phosphorus intake, talk to your doctor.
Are you looking to add more phosphorus to your diet? Here are some good food sources:

When saving an image, "Save a Copy" makes a second image file and keeps the original, while "Overwrite" saves over the original image file.
Images are organized into folders (also known as albums), just like on your computer. By default, the folder name is the date the images were uploaded. But you can change this in the "My Photos" by clicking the cog wheel to the right of the album name and choosing "Rename"
To learn how to change the name of the folder as you are uploading, please see our FAQ "How do I add pictures to my online account?"
To rearrange the images within the folder, in the menu bar above the images click "Organize". You can then sort the images by Name or Date.
Yes. We have a basic red eye removal tool available using our Edit Tools.
For additional information on our Edit Tools, please visit the FAQ "Can I edit my images using your service?"
Basic – Get Started:
You can upload an unlimited number of images for projects, printing, ordering, editing, and sharing. The images will be stored in your account as long as you log in at least once every six months to view the photos. Logging in once every six months lets us know you are still using your online photo account. Should you forget to log in, you will receive two emails stating your images are in danger of being deleted due to inactivity. If you fail to log in after the second notice, your images will be deleted.
Please Note: All images are converted to JPEG for printing purposes. And extremely large images may be compressed to help facilitate printing. This occurs at the time of uploading. So while we do store your images as stated above, re-downloading the images may not be the exact file type and size initially used to upload to us.
Check the Terms and Conditions link at the bottom of the page for more information.
We accept the following file types:
We do not accept PSD (Photoshop), PDF, Word Documents, or RAW files.
To add photos to your online account via the website, please do the following:
There are two ways in which you can crop your images.
The first is prior to ordering anything. When viewing your images in your online folders, you can click the Pencil icon to access the Edit Tools. Please see the FAQ "Can I edit my images using your sevice?"
The other option is to wait until checkout to crop your photos. If your images need cropping, then you will be given three cropping options. "Auto Crop" will be done automatically, but can result in heads cut off if your subject is near the edge of your images. "No Crop" fits the entire image on the print, so that the largest side fits on the paper. The empty spaces that are left by the smaller dimensions are then filled with white space. And the last option is "Manual Crop" which lets you see and do the cropping.
For pick up locations in your area please visit the "Locations" link located in the upper right hand corner of the site.
There are two possible payment types.
Pay Online: If Pay Online is offered, we process prepaid online orders via a PayPal gateway. You do not need a PayPal account, it is just the way we process payments. You can use a Credit card and bypass by clicking "Continue as a Guest." Or you can log into your PayPal account and checkout using whatever payment methods you've set up for your account.
Pay In Store: If Pay In Store is an option you will pay when you pick up your order. However, there may be a limit. For example if the order is over $50 it may prompt you to pay online due to being a larger order.
When placing an order, enter the coupon or promotion code in the field on the Order Summary page. Then make sure to hit the "Apply" button and the shopping cart will automatically total the remaining balance, if any, from the combination of the credit on your account and the coupon.
Please note, if you are combining free prints, dollars off and a coupon on the same order, the free prints are applied first, the dollars off credit is deducted from the sub-total, and then the coupon/promotion code is applied to the order.
Please note, you cannot combine a credit, a coupon code, and a Deal in the same order.
Unfortunately, you can only use one coupon/promotion code per order. You always can split your order into multiple orders and use the separate codes on the separate orders.
Aspect Ratio is the size (width x height) of the image. The aspect ratio tells a lab technician what size(s) the image can be printed without requiring cropping. For example, an image with an aspect ratio of 4x6 can be printed at 4x6, 8x12, 12x18, etc without any cropping, because 8x12 and 12x18 are the same ratio as 4x6.
Many digital point and shoot cameras now capture images in a 4.5x6 ratio. This means that most digital images taken with a point and shoot camera will need to be cropped slightly.
For more information on cropping and cropping options available on the site, please read the question, "How do I crop the pictures in my order?"
Please refer to the Terms and Conditions of the website. It is also recommended that you call and speak with your local lab/store for specific information.
The albums are fully editable. To rename or delete an album:
To create a new album:
To move or copy your pictures from one album to another, you will need to have already created the album you want to move the pictures to. For directions on how to create a new album, please see FAQ "How do I create a New Album?"
Cancel: Due to the high speed at which the orders are fulfilled, we cannot cancel an order once it has been placed.
Change: Orders are sent as packaged non-editable JPG files to the lab that produces them. Thus an order cannot be edited or changed once it has been placed.
You can check the status of your order at any time by clicking the "My Orders" link located on the right hand side of the screen under the "Welcome" section. Click on your order number to see the details of that order.
One of our Live Help technicians can look up the tracking number for your order. Depending on the order, the technicians may not have direct access to tracking the order. However, if you give the technician your order number and the store you ordered from, they can look it up and get back to you.
Ground Shipping: Unfortunately, we cannot track orders that are mailed via standard ground shipping. If it has been more than the 7-10 business days since you received the "Order Shipped" email, please contact our Live Help technicians, so we can check on your order and reship if necessary.

Leicester Tigers welcome back Geordan Murphy and Ben Youngs for Saturday's Premiership derby against Northampton.
Leicester Tigers welcome back Geordan Murphy, Ben Youngs and Julian Salvi for Saturday's Premiership derby against Northampton Saints.
Skipper Murphy has recovered from a knee injury, while Youngs has been released from the England squad after missing last Saturday's match at Gloucester.
Salvi returns to the back row and is joined by Steve Mafi and summer signing Richard Thorpe.
There are calls for Marcos Ayerza, George Chuter and Martin Castrogiovanni in the front row, and George Ford starts at fly-half.
Dan Bowden returns to the matchday squad and back-rower Michael Noone is included among the replacements for the first time.
Meanwhile, Northampton Saints will be lloking to bounce back from home reverse to Saracens seven days ago.
That result saw the Saints slip from the top of the Premiership table, but director of rugby Jim Mallinder believes that there were plenty of good things to take from that performance.
"Of course we want to win, but rugby is also about the way you play and there has been plenty to build on from our previous games," he said.
"We've looked at our past performances and there have been bits where we've played well and bits where we haven't. Of course we've worked on those areas and while it's going to be a massive challenge at Welford Road it's one that we're up for.
"We've got a good side who have had the right attitude in training, and hopefully we'll have the right performance which will lead to the result we want."
Form: Leicester Tigers lost 21-27 at Gloucester on Saturday but have not lost successive Aviva Premiership encounters since October last year. Since September 2011 the Tigers have lost just two games at Welford Road – both to Harlequins. Northampton Saints have slipped to back to back Premiership defeats for the first time since September 2011. Leicester have won their last five fixtures with Northampton in all competitions, whilst the Saints only win at Welford Road since 2003 was 10-9 on 24 February 2007.
The teams:
Leicester Tigers: 15 Geordan Murphy (c), 14 Scott Hamilton, 13 Matt Smith, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Niall Morris, 10 George Ford, 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Richard Thorpe, 7 Julian Salvi, 6 Steve Mafi 5 Graham Kitchener, 4 Louis Deacon, 3 Martin Castrogiovanni, 2 George Chuter, 1 Marcos Ayerza.
Replacements: 16 Jimmy Stevens, 17 Boris Stankovich, 18 Fraser Balmain, 19 Ed Slater, 20 Michael Noone, 21 Sam Harrison, 22 Dan Bowden, 23 Vereniki Goneva.
Northampton Saints: 15 Tom May 14 Ken Pisi 13 George Pisi 12 Dom Waldouck 11 Jamie Elliott 10 Ryan Lamb 9 Martin Roberts 8 GJ Van Velze 7 Phil Dowson (capt) 6 Calum Clark 5 Mark Sorenson 4 Samu Manoa 3 Brian Mujati 2 Mike Haywood 1 Soane Tonga'uiha

Product description · Neyers
2006 Neyers Syrah Old Lakeville Road (Syrah)
#62 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2008
The Sangiacomo Family developed this vineyard in the mid-1990's, using budwood from the three primary red wine vineyards in the northern Rhóne: Cornas, Hermitage and Cóte-Rótie. The 12-acre parcel was divided into three blocks, and each is harvested and fermented separately. From these three components, we create a blend which seems to have characteristics from each of the appellations. The vineyard is located in what is proving to be one of the most favorable spots for Syrah in California. This is our third bottling of wine from the Old Lakeville Road vines, and each has been regarded as one of the most highly rated bottlings of California-produced Syrah from its vintage.
"Ripe and grapey, with rich, elegant spice, pepper and juicy, dusty wild berry flavors that are sleek and focused, ending with a long, persistent finish. Drink now through 2012." 93 Points
-Wine Spectator
"The 2006 Syrah Old Lakeville is deep ruby/purple, offering hints of charcoal, blackberry, raspberry, and cherry notes. It has impressive ripeness and density, richness, and more tannin and structure than the Hudson Vineyard. This particular cuvee will benefit from 1-2 years of cellaring and should last for up to a decade."
-Wine Advocate
"Good deep medium ruby. Briary raspberry, blackberry and chocolate on the rather liqueur-like nose. Then bright and almost shockingly energetic in the mouth for all its creaminess, with juicy flavors of dark cherry and spices. Not as complex as the Cuvee d'Honneur but I like the wine's exotic aspect. Finishes with supple, dusty tannins and very good length. This struck me as the syrah equivalent of the best of today's creamy new-wave pinots from the North Coast."

Montpellier have progressed to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals after beating Pool winners Toulon 23-3 at the Stade Yves du Manoir.
Montpellier have progressed to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals after beating Pool winners Toulon 23-3 at Stade Yves du Manoir on Saturday.
The home side paid tribute to their late forwards coach Eric Bechu with an outstanding showing in poor conditions, with the busy Benoit Paillaugue's 15 points helping them qualify for the last-eight of the competition for the first time in their history.
Toulon came off second best to the power of the Montpol forward pack, which dominated the Top 14 league leaders until the likes of Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe and Joe van Niekerk came on.
Montpellier headed into the game needing two points to make sure of qualification, but they fell behind in the fifth minute, as Jonny Wilkinson converted a penalty for the visitors after the hosts infringed at the scrum.
But Toulon's lead didn't last long, and, when Santiago Fernandez's grubber won possession for his side, a powerful maul created the opening for Thomas Combezou to score. Benoit Paillaugue added the extras and then booted over a hat-trick of quickfire penalties to stretch Montpellier's advantage to 13 points.
The hosts were unable to add to their lead before half-time, but they held their opponents at bay with reasonable ease, and their cause was helped when Toulon's Delon Armitage was sin-binned for a dangerous tackle on 34 minutes.
The second half opened with Montpellier enjoying the lion's share of possession and territory, and they got their rewards just seven minutes in when Paillaugue pounced on a loose Toulon pass to crash over for what would prove to be the game-clinching try.
That put the hosts a full 20 points in front and, though Toulon searched for a route back into the contest, the few times they reached home territory they came away empty-handed.
Chances in the final 30 minutes came and went for Montpellier, but, as the match edged past the hour mark, the hosts knew they'd done enough to keep their interests in the tournament alive. Toulon win the Pool despite the result, with Montpellier taking that all-important second spot.

LP: Lori
She wants to do something "slow".
LP: Lori
She wants to do something "slow".
For real, Bennett?
Break out the celebratory chocolate. A Lori Nichol program for Mao--there isn't much that's better than that.
Thank you for this, Bennett!
Wow, Lori again
happy to read about her LP... not so sure I want to see another program by TAT, even if it is the SP.
Yay! Maybe Tat will do something pretty this time Claire de Lune or Concertofo Violin and Orchestra!
No worries about LP. Lori knows what's good for Mao and she is the CoP expert.
SP could be more challenging this season because they may have no spiral requirement in SP (already decided?). I have no idea how it may look like. But someone said that they did not have spirals requirement in SP a long time ago. So TAT would know well. Mao is so good at spread eagles (not sure if she'd ever done ina bauer in performances), so she can fill in space with those gorgeous spirals and other moves in the field.
Lori always choreographed great programs for Mao. In the short program, she should go for a set of spread eagle, ina bauer, and arabesque spiral.
I'm a little bit scared about the TAT SP for Mao, but if she says she wants to skate to slow music than likely it will be fine, did TAT choreograph Clare De Lune and Ladies In Lavender for Mao?
Maybe Tat will pick something a little more simple to show off Mao's incredible lightness:
or perhaps a cheerful Russian folksong like this one:
Although I liked a lot lune program, my first reaction to the whole new plan of Mao is :banging:
Lori choreographed Mao's Chopin SP, right?

PROVIDENCE – A second pool of mosquitoes in Rhode Island have tested positive for the West Nile Virus, according to the R.I. Department of Environmental Management.
Mosquito samples are tested weekly at the R.I. Health Department laboratory. DEM said the positive results are not unexpected, but urged residents to protect themselves by eliminating mosquito breeding groups and avoiding mosquito bites.
"West Nile Virus is increasingly being detected in mosquito samples trapped at multiple locations in Massachusetts, Western Connecticut, and Long Island," said a DEM release. "While Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) has not yet been isolated in Rhode Island this season, it was recently isolated in mosquitoes trapped in numerous locations in southeastern Massachusetts."

One Piece, what can be said about it that hasn't already been said?
I could start with the connection that you undoubtly will get with the characters, or I could bring up the constant surprises or the humor thats neverending and never dull, alas I could bring up the tearful moments that will, if not make you cry, crasp your heart with gentle hands and make your eyes blurry. I could go about the action, on how it always feels cool and innovating, full of imagnitive ways of using ones capacities in different ways. But I won't....
... instead I will bring up the most important part of one piece, and that is nakama, or companion as it means in english, although that word is not strong enough to describe its real meaning, its the closest one can get. Its a word wich meaning can make a man climb a mountain with his bare hands in the middle of a blizzard, its a word that can make a man go on even though his body can bear it no longer, its a word wich can make you confront your fears and stand up against a foe you know you have absolutely no chans of winning against... it means all that and more.
You guys all got good points but to really sell something you gotta put something like this after it:
[Crack your knuckles] and utter those three magic words "We break legs" (or any other body part you'd like to place in there, genitals for example)
Though FUNimation might be able to fix up the whole North American popularity thing if they deicde to re-release the rest of the eps.
Why don't more people read these mangas?
It's Funimation at Anime Boston talking about their acquisition of One Piece. If I remember correctly, they are going to release the Jaya episodes, and if they have the time, they will redo the beginning and up. It's understandable if they don't redo the beginning of the series immediately; they do have to do a bunch of new episodes first, so that they can get money for it being on TV.
All glory to Haruhi! The one and true God!
The manga is on 465 and the anime is on 318. Do we really have to tell u its good?
