He doesn't like my hair :(
Sooo I just found out that my maybe boyfriend is into blonde wavy hair and that he doesn't really like my dark brown corkscrews (he actually told me).
Now I thought I was cool with that but ever since then thoughts of straightening and the usual jazz are back in my head...
I don't want to change my hair, I really don't but I don't know if a relationship can work with the thought of "I'd actually prefer anything but curly" in the room.
M I overreacting?

Whats a maybe boyfriend?? I dont think he likes you. He likes blondes and you are not. But Im sure he enjoys your low self esteem and the fact that although he has said you are not his type you continue to give him the time of day.

He is shallow and immature. He's not worth it - believe us! :thumbdown:
^this, ^this, and ^this...
I believe that if a guy likes/loves you, then he will accept all of the things that make you who you are. Men will have certain ideals and preferences that are influenced by various factors (society, friends, family, media) but ultimately a guy who is into you will appreciate what you have to offer. If you're not pretty enough in his eyes, then it's "next!" Move on to a guy who will see the beauty in your hair and in you.
I know that when we were dating, my husband didn't really like my hair. Actually I'm not sure he thought I was pretty at all. He'd never been with anyone like me before. But somehow his concept of beauty expanded. He went from being with straight-haired Caucasian blondes with flat butts to a mixed curly girl with crazy 4a/4b kinks and booty, hips, and thighs (sorry for being blunt). Now he digs my hair and thinks it's cool.
So your "maybe" boyfriend's notions of beauty can change like my husband's did, but they might not. And you know what? You are beautiful no matter what he thinks of your hair and there will be plenty of guys who would kill to be with a woman like you. So remember that before you pick up the flat iron and fry your curls trying to fit his notion of beauty. Instead of changing your hair, you might consider changing boyfriends...I'm just sayin'.
And onto the blonde stuff...no disrespect to my fair-haired sisters, but luscious dark tresses are where it's at, you feel me? Curly blonde hair is pretty too, but it is often hyped in Western media as the ideal.
I guess what I'm saying is that you deserve to be with somebody who prefers YOUR type of hotness, not what is touted as conventionally hot. I have very small breasts and I will admit that I'm insecure about that...but the only way I would get a boob job is if I wanted to (so I can look smexy and stay making other chicks jealous. I kid, I kid! :laughing1:)
So it's up to you to decide if he is right for you. And no, you're not overreacting...it is natural to feel that way when your man says something that makes you feel less than desirable.
For a start, I think he is allowed to have his preferences. However, I am not sure why he told you. Did it come up in conversation, did you ask him or did he just tell you?
Secondly, I don't think you're overreacting. It can be hurtful when people don't accept your hair, especially with so much negative messages all around about our curls. I love my hair and I still suffer from it sometimes. A guy I am 'seeing' preferred straight hair before (but now likes my curly hair, just prefers the length from my straight hair - fair enough. I like length too, and length looks better on me), and it hurt a bit.
Remember, he is allowed to have his preferences, but you're allowed to feel hurt or insecure.
Hugs {{}}
A lot of wisdom on this thread: people are able to see beyond just his comment about your hair ... people see that you're even hesitant to call him a boyfriend. He's your "maybe" boyfriend, you say.
In my experience, if a boy/guy really likes you, he will understand he's on an interview of sorts. He'll be on his best behavior. Will show his enthusiasm, which includes praising all sorts of things about you, or at least pointing out things you have in common. He'll generally withhold facts that might upset you or otherwise make you think you aren't his type. An interested boy is on his best behavior so he can find a way to "have" you, unless he's socially deaf or is just a schmuck.
I think most interested guys actually don't discuss how little they care for some part of a woman's appearance until they're in a r-ship (past the "interview" stage). Either way, they are allowed their preferences. And, like Carmen said, you have a right to feel hurt too.
Sorry to say, it just really sounds like this boy may really not be that into you.

I asked my man straight out if he preferred my straight hair or naturally curly hair (I have to straighten it sometimes, because I'm on a gymnastics team and I have to look professional).. He said he really loved my straight hair. I replied, "Well, you're stupid! My curls are SEXY and reflect my crazy personality" and he just laughed and said, "I like u no matter what your hair looks like"
So, is he asking you to change your hair? If so, there might be some serious problems there. If he just prefers a certain look, then tell him that he can go to h----, your hair is not changing. If he's a keeper, he'll love you for who you are, not for your hair!!!

I just remembered, when I purchased my flat iron and was using it frequently, he kept asking me not to ..of course I didn't pay any heed to him because I just loving my straight hair.this was 7-8 months ago. Hmm, maybe he likes my natural hair after all! :-D
Sent from android curltalk app.
Speaking from a guy's perspective. He's allowed to have preference but again having preference vs. loving someone for who they are have two different meanings. I have been married for nine years and have "curl crush." Oddly enough my wife is straight-haired but I would never tell her that I "prefer" curly because I love her for who she is.
I think there is a BIG difference between someone saying "You know, I've always thought I preferred blonde wavy hair..." even though you have brown corkscrews, and someone saying, "I would like you better if you had blonde wavy hair."
My husband is mostly bald and has been the whole time we've known each other. I don't have anything AGAINST baldness, but I always thought my "type" was a guy with thick dark hair. I still love my husband and find him VERY attractive. Of course, I don't think I'd tell him that I preferred thick dark hair (because it clearly doesn't matter)....but if it came up in conversation, I would be honest that while he doesn't have the hair type I've always preferred, I still love him dearly and wouldn't change a thing about him or his appearance.
I would say forget him. It will feel so amazing when you meet a guy who absolutely adores your hair.

Very interesting. I like the message it conveys.
Investment for the coming years? Well.............................................. .........I don't want to sink the thread for my opinions here, but if it really turns out that most of America still wants change, and voters turn out to make it happen, then I'll save that image to my computer and post it up in a Christmas pic thread this year. Meanwhile.....as someone else told me recently (and I know this myself)....I'll keep investing in ammo. I'm not really a collector anyway. Novelties are nice to look at, and that's about it.
Any idea of how many they are going to run?
I don't care who y'are...that there is FUNNY!
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
That's hope and change I can get behind.

In Foley Case Upsets Tough Balance by Capitol Hill's Gay Republicans, the New York Times describes the plight of gay Republican staffers in DC. According to the Times, things are so tough for them that a group gets together every week to "commiserate." The longish article makes an interesting read, but I was particularly struck by these two items. First, the article's author, Mark Leibovich, writes:
"Even though the G.O.P. fashions itself as 'the party of Lincoln' and a promoter of tolerance, it is perceived as hostile by many gay men and lesbians."
Huh? The GOP doesn't just "fashion itself" the party of Lincoln. It is the party of Lincoln! In any case, how is being the party of Lincoln inconsistent with the GOP's positions on gay issues? Did I misunderstood my 4th-grade teacher? Was she really saying "Abraham Lincoln freed the 'gays'" - not the 'slaves'?
Next, the Times sought out former Republican congressman [and former Republican?] Joe Scarborough for a quote, and he didn't disappoint.
Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida who served with Mr. Foley, said, "If you're a gay Republican, you have to act like a Republican." Mr. Scarborough, who is now the host of "Scarborough Country" on MSNBC, said "acting like a Republican" entailed going out on the campaign trail "talking about guns, chewing tobacco and riding around in a pickup truck."
Hey, thanks for not feeding blue-state stereotypes of Republicans or anything, Joe!

CLEVELAND - Heading into today's match-up with St. Pius X in the second round of the Class AAA state tournament, the White County Lady Warriors plan to use the three things that led them to a first-round sweep of Carrollton: strong pitching, solid hitting and temporary tattoos.
While winning two varsity football games in a season would be considered a letdown at some high schools, at Lakeview Academy it's a school record.
BUFORD- The Buford High softball team used 28 hits and two complete-game wins to defeat Dawson County, 6-0, 10-1, in the opening round of the Class AA state tournament Wednesday in Buford.
After opening the day with a 8-5 loss to Walnut Grove, the White County High softball team battled back to defeat Franklin County 11-6 and Walnut Grove 13-0 to earn a spot in the Region 8-AAA championship game Saturday against Oconee County at Lanier Point Park. The Lady Warriors lost that game 8-0 in five innings but came away with a No. 2 seed going into the Class AAA state playoffs which begin next Wednesday.
No matter the sport, there are certain traits that cannot be coached or taught.
Offseason strength and agility drills are supposed to ensure that a football player continues to improve and stay healthy while not practicing every day.
Going into the 2009 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, the Audi car company had emerged eight straight years as the overall champion.
When the cars take to the track in the Petit Le Mans on Saturday at Road Atlanta in Braselton, they won't be filled with regular, unleaded gasoline like most of the cars that take to the roads everyday.
Electric engines and racing are not two subjects which, historically, have had anything in common.
While most racing series in North America have seen a drop in manufacturer participation, the American Le Mans Series has seen an increase.
BRASELTON - If you are a race fan, then the next week at Road Atlanta is built just for you.
The location of a practice can be just as important as the practice itself, especially in the case of cross country.
Going into Friday's game with Washington-Wilkes, the Commerce High football team found itself in an unusual position. The Tigers were 0-3 and on the verge of starting 0-4 for the first time in school history.
CLEVELAND- Before the start of every game, the White County High softball team has a tradition. Each player selects a temporary tattoo from a pile and puts it on her forearm. The Lady Warriors consider the practice good luck.
Sometimes 4 yards can make all the difference.

I'm driving my car this Morning and suddenly the engine just

|Peach jam and tomato preserves sitting on my kitchen table, July 31, 2012.
My husband said, "Nothing's labeled. I ate your delicious peach jam this morning, but I was hoping it was tomato preserves. Could you please label the jars today?"
I wasn't sure if I should try to rein in my sense of relief or laugh out loud. I'm pretty sure I laughed. I know I couldn't stop smiling and it was my husband's turn to be concerned. He gave me a funny look and said, "why are you smiling like that?" I mumbled something about being happy he liked the jam and that I'd pick out a jar of tomato preserves for him to eat tomorrow.
It's hard to describe in words how satisfying it is to make food that has a strong effect someone I love. I imagined my husband looking forward to eating tomato preserves-- and then his disappointment when the jar didn't contain the sweet and sour taste he was anticipating. It's not that I enjoyed thinking about his disappointment, but it did show me how much he really did like the preserves I'd made him on a whim. Somehow it made the moment even sweeter.

A group of Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) students won an innovation award at the World Government Summit with their idea for a coin that could fuse the ideas of citizenship and governance.
The student team, part of a larger, independently organized group of HKS students attending the summit in Dubai in mid-February, beat out a dozen other teams from universities including Harvard Business School, the London School of Economics, Stanford, MIT, and IESE, representing six countries.
The competition, judged by a panel that included Silicon Valley entrepreneur Chris Schroeder and Ideo chief creative officer Paul Bennett, tasked the teams with developing an innovative idea for the future of government. Teams were given just eight hours to develop their ideas, culminating in a seven-minute presentation, and were judged on novelty, innovation, impact, comprehensiveness, and feasibility.
Meeting with HKS Dean Doug Elmendorf upon their return, team members explained the notion behind the winning idea as a way to incentivize citizens to engage in the process of government. The citizens would be rewarded for their work – which would range from recycling to community organizing – with a special government currency (the team used a symbolic coin in their winning presentation). The payment could be used to buy anything from food to health care to education. But it would also form a closer bond between the citizen and the government, by giving the citizen a "share" in the government.
"The coin doesn't just give you an allowance ... it gives you a physical piece of the government," Hamada Zahawi MC/MPA 2017 said during the team's presentation.
The exchange would make the government accountable to the citizen and the citizen to the government. That idea of reciprocity was critical to the team's success, the students said.
The students are eager to continue refining their idea. Summit organizers expressed an interest in exploring the concept further and team members are reaching out to the office of the prime minister of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rasheed Al Maktoum, who presented the team with their award at the summit.
Connecting citizens to their governments is an important element in the Kennedy School's work on improving the way democracies work, and the team's idea fits perfectly in that space, Elmendorf told the students.
Twenty-seven HKS students traveled to the World Government Summit this year (eight other students decided not to travel following the uncertainty caused by the executive order on immigration issued by President Trump). The five-year-old event, organized by the United Arab Emirates, promotes dialogue on innovation in governance. Ayesha Alrayesi MC/MPA 2017, a UAE citizen and director of the Emirates Identity Authority, helped facilitate the trip, which was funded by the summit organizers.
Winners of the World Government Summit's Shaping Future Governments' University Challenge shared their experiences and winning idea with Dean Doug Elmendorf.

2013 Rising Star Participants: Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes
January 30, 2013

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson and forward Harrison Barnes have been selected to participate in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge at NBA All-Star Weekend on February 15 in Houston.
Thompson and Barnes are the first Warriors to participate in the Rising Stars Challenge since Stephen Curry did so as a sophomore in 2011 and will be just the second rookie/sophomore tandem ever to represent the Warriors in the game (Curry and Anthony Morrow in 2010).
Thompson and Barnes will join David Lee at NBA All-Star Weekend after Lee became the first Warriors representative named to the NBA All-Star Game since Latrell Sprewell in 1997.
Klay Thompson was the 11th overall pick of the 2011 NBA Draft and is in his second season with the Warriors.
On January 29, he helped the Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-95 with his sharp shooting. He scored a career-high 32 points on career highs of 13 made field goals (13-of-24) and six made three-pointers (6-of-8).
Klay also had seven rebounds and a career-high-tying three blocks.
As of January 30, Thompson ranks third in the NBA in three-pointers made with 123. He is behind only Ryan Anderson (137) and teammate Stephen Curry (133).
Curry and Thompson, known as the Splash Brothers, are one of the deadliest backcourts in the NBA.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have combined for 67 games with mutiple three-pointers this season. No pair of teammates has hit more than the 256 threes from the Splash Brothers.
Over the last seven games, Klay is averaging 21.3 points on .482 shooting.
That includes .451 from distance (3.3 threes per game).
Thompson had a notable shooting night January 19 in a 116-112 Warriors victory over the New Orleans Hornets – 29 points (24 in the first half) on 11-of-16 shooting and 5-of-7 from deep.
From April 4, 2012 to November 10, 2012, Klay scored double figures in a career-best 21 consecutive games.
The Warriors (28-17) are off to their best start since 1991-92, when they began the season 30-15.
Thompson's shooting ability is a key factor in that success - the Warriors are 10-4 when he scores 20-plus points.
In his second season with the Golden State Warriors, Klay is averaging 16.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 35.3 minutes in 45 games (all starts).
The 6-7 guard, who has yet to miss a game in his NBA career, leads the league in games with at least three three-pointers (27).
Klay will be one of the biggest scoring threats in the Rising Stars Challenge, as he ranks third among sophomores in scoring.
Harrison Barnes was the seventh overall selection of the 2012 NBA Draft.
Midway through his rookie year, Barnes has established himself as one of best dunkers in the game.
He has earned NBA's "Dunk of the Night" honors three times so far. His debut dunk, known as "Flight of the Falcon", came on November 24 when the Warriors hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves.
During that same game, Barnes posted his third double-double with 10 points and a team-high 11 rebounds.
Barnes' other standout dunks were during this past road trip – January 26 against the Milwaukee Bucks and January 28 against the Toronto Raptors.
You can watch all of Harrison's dunks on Warriors TV (warriors.com/tv).
There's more to the Black Falcon than just jaw-dropping dunks. He's one of the league's top rookies – ranking seventh in scoring, tied for eighth in rebounding and fourth in three-point percentage.
Barnes scored a career-high 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting (5-of-6 from deep) in 29 minutes on January 13 at Denver.
When Barnes made his NBA debut on October 31 in Phoenix, he became the youngest Warrior (20 years, 154 days) to start a season opener since Joe Smith (20 years, 100 days) started on 11/3/95 at Houston.
That's not the only Warriors rookie record Harrison Barnes has broken. He scored a then career-best 20 points to go with 12 rebounds in his first career 20/10 game on November 19 vs. Dallas. It was the first 20-point, 10-rebound effort by a Warriors rookie since Stephen Curry's triple-double (36 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists) on 2/10/10 vs. the Clippers.
Barnes tallied 19 points and a career-high13-boards on November 14 vs. the Atlanta Hawks. His performance was the first time a Warriors rookie has recorded at least those figures since Anthony Randolph went for 24 points and 16 rebounds on 4/13/09 vs. San Antonio. It was also the first time a Warriors rookie has had 13 rebounds since Chris Hunter had 13 on 3/6/10 at Charlotte.
This season Barnes is averaging 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 25.2 minutes in 44 games, while shooting 43.2 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from three-point range. Only Damian Lillard (45) has started more games among rookies than Barnes this season.
The BBVA Rising Stars Challenge will feature two teams drafted by TNT Analysts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal who will serve as the opposing general managers. Each team will have nine man rosters, consisting of both NBA rookies and sophomores drafted from a pool that was previously selected by the NBA's assistant coaches. Fans will have the opportunity to vote online for who should be in the starting lineup for each team.
The BBVA Rising Stars Challenge will be played on Friday, February 15 at 6 p.m. PST at Houston's Toyota Center, site Sunday's NBA All-Star Game. The game will be televised nationally on TNT and broadcast live on ESPN Radio.
Congratulations, Klay and Harrison!

Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal accused Israel of hampering the peace process by refusing to free Palestinian prisoners in return release of the captured IDF soldier, Gilad Schalit. "The conditions for an agreement have been known for three years, and the Egyptians know them, too. They are the release of 1,000 Palestinians in two stages." He charged that Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert does not want to release all the 1,000 and is creating barriers to a resolution of the problem. Mashaal went on to complain about continued construction of housing in the West Bank and in Jerusalem. He also made clear that Hamas was not going to allow the appointment of hard liner Benjamin Netanyahu to frighten them into an agreement.
A basic concept in foreign policy is focusing on national interests, not emotional factors. The life of Gilad Schalit is important, but so are the lives of Palestinians. To argue the life of a single Israeli soldier is worth continued war, the death of hundreds, raises issues that transcend foreign policy and enter the realm of emotions. Gilad Schalit will secure his release and his life if Israel focuses on issues, not emotions. There is need to accept the challenge posed by the Arab League and enter the road of a comprehensive peace. At that point, Mr. Schalit will be released.
Israel has created an emotional issue which interferes with the process of peace.

Will Differences in Parent Assets Due to the Omission Sibling-Owned Custodial 529 Plan Accounts Cause Problems on the FAFSA?
Mark Kantrowitz
December 19, 2011
But what about custodial 529 plan accounts that are owned by a sibling of the student? Are they reported as an asset of the parents on the student's FAFSA, as they would on the sibling's FAFSA? Or are they not reported on the student's FAFSA because they are owned by neither the student nor the parent?
The most plausible interpretation is that custodial 529 plan accounts owned by the student's siblings are not reported on the student's FAFSA because neither the student nor his/her parents own the account. In the statutory language in section 480(f)(3) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the phrase "the student" is referring to the applicant, not students generally.
However, there is still enough ambiguity that a college's financial aid administrator may insist on a different interpretation where custodial 529 plan accounts owned by a sibling must be reported as a parent asset. They might note that sibling 529 plan accounts that are owned by a parent are reported as parent assets on the FAFSA, and argue that it doesn't make sense for custodial 529 plan accounts owned by a sibling to be treated any differently. (It really doesn't make sense, but the law doesn't always make sense. For example, the current statutory language corrected an error in the previous statutory language, and may eventually be amended to resolve this ambiguity.) Until the US Department of Education issues clear guidance to clarify whether custodial 529 plan accounts owned by a student's siblings are reported as parent assets on the student's FAFSA, the interpretation is left to the discretion of the college's financial aid administrator, and the decision of the financial aid administrator is final.
If 529 plan accounts owned by a student's siblings are not reported as a parent assets on the student's FAFSA, this can yield different figures for parent assets on the student's FAFSA and a sibling's FAFSA. If both the student and the sibling are enrolled at the same college, this discrepancy will be considered conflicting information. Conflicting information must be resolved before financial aid can be disbursed. Conflicting information can be resolved by explaining that the discrepancy is not really conflicting information, or by changing one or more of the data sources to eliminate the discrepancy.
When the college's financial aid administrator asks about the discrepancy, the family can respond by noting that the discrepancy is due to the treatment of custodial 529 plan accounts. The financial aid administrator may either agree with the family or insist on changing the parent assets reported on both FAFSAs to include all sibling-owned 529 plan accounts.
Incidentally, the term "financial aid officer" may offend some financial aid administrators even though the Higher Education Act of 1965 uses the terms interchangeably, because that's like calling them the financial aid police. The most common job titles are "financial aid administrator", "financial aid counselor", "financial aid adviser", "director of financial aid" and "director of student finance".

Happy New Year . . . You're the Worst!
Writing on this week's Iranian New Year, Barbara Slavin reports on the kind of Nowruz message the Green Movement might like to hear from President Obama:
The White House had no immediate comment on whether Obama would send a Nowruz message this year, or what it would say.
A top aide to Mehdi Karroubi, one of three candidates who opposed incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the June 12 vote, said Obama should send Nowruz greetings this year. However, he argued that the message should focus on human rights and commemorate the scores of Iranians -- such as Neda Agha Soltan -- who have been killed since June by plainclothes thugs, prison torturers, and government executioners.
I think far too much thought gets put into these Nowruz messages, and using them to make subtle and not-so-subtle jabs at the Iranian regime didn't start with President Obama. Because a careful line must be straddled between attacking the regime and insulting the Iranian people (not to mention those all around the world celebrating the holiday), the message tends to be rather canned and predictable; usually something about "respecting the Iranian people, but," and so on.
Does anybody really care? Imagine, for a moment, if the Iranian government used popular Western holidays to take potshots at America and its allies. Oh, wait, it has. They're usually backhanded, they generate some buzz, and then everyone moves on. These "messages" have had very little effect on actual policy, if any, and are mostly forgotten soon after. So why exploit these holidays in the first place? We can guess why Ahmadinejad does it, but should the West play the same game?
This also touches upon a recurring pet peeve of mine: the exaggerated significance of big words and righteous statements. And since words usually get relegated to the archives, we rarely revisit them to take account and measure for actual results. These Nowruz messages - while perhaps cross-cultural, noteworthy and satisfying - don't change much, and if the White House insists on doing one, it should consider sticking to a message that doesn't transparently split Iranians into various factions.

'Glee: The Music' Volume 5 Will Feature Original Content
Our beloved Glee announced they will be releasing two original songs on the fifth volume of 'Glee: The Music' available Mar. 8. An ensemble pop song, "Loser Like Me" and a ballad "Get It Right," perfectly orchestrated to showcase the power balladeer that is Lea Michele.
The Glamour UK cover girl, who is known for her from the heart ballads, is rarely upstaged attention-wise when center stage – with the exception of Christina Aguilera's Super Bowl word flub that is. Every now and then, it's nice to see an artist recognized for their set of pipes rather than their theatrics, per Jesse J.
PHOTOS: 'Glee' Cast at the 2011 SAG Awards
Sometimes I wish someone would remind Michele of this when she tries for sexy verse wholesome, like she did at the 2011 Grammy Awards. I'm just saying – when it comes to Lea Michele, the throw back to the wholesome fashion of the black and white TV era (as seen in the Glamour spread) suits her well!
Volume 5 will also feature Gwyneth Paltrow on title tracks and the cast's Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Heads Will Roll," which holds the title of Glee's biggest audience to date of 26.8 million viewers, per Oh No They Didn't! (which also lists all tracks to be included on this album).

Confessions of a Dead Tribune
Posted on Aug 19, 2011
By Mark Heisler
(Page 2)
Notable in the Times' second-quarter revenue shortfall that precipitated the last round of layoffs was the minimal ad buy for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," the eighth movie in the series with Daniel Radcliffe, originally cast in the role at 11, trying to stay twerpy-looking at 22.
So, if I wanted to look at it that way, I was done in by an aging twerp.
Nevertheless, I don't interpret my agreement as signing away my right to talk about my life. This stuff isn't conjecture, interpretation or based on third-person accounts. It's real, as I lived it. Anything that reflects badly on anyone is, nonetheless, what happened. In this business, the truth isn't one alternative, it's the reason there is a business and the reason the people in it love it, despite everything that has happened or will happen.
If newspaper people often talk in heroic terms, which their papers don't always live up to, there really is something cool about a business in which your job is to seek truth. Not a version of the truth that the audience is sure to like, or the one the rest of the biz is running with, or one that doesn't harm the company, or a socko headline that garners attention. Only one thing matters—Is it true?—and you're one of the people sent out to see, like a Knight of the Round Table seeking the Holy Grail.

Jim Murray, our living legend during my first 19 years at the Times, would often say he expected to wind up on the copy desk, putting paragraph marks in other people's stories. Of course, he beat the rap, writing in his inimitable style until his death in 1998, but the gloom predated him by decades.
In Ben Hecht's 1928 Broadway play, "The Front Page," his star reporter, Hildy Johnson, snaps out at being ribbed by the guys in the police press room for selling out and going into advertising.
"I don't need anybody to tell me about newspapers," says Hildy. "I've been a newspaperman 15 years. And if you want to know something, you'll all wind up on the copy desk—hump-backed slobs, dodging garnishees when you're 90."
By Billy Wilder's 1974 movie remake, Hildy's speech had been updated to:
"So what's the newspaper business ever done for me? See, I don't want to end up like you guys will, on the copy desk, gray-haired, hump-backed, half blind, bumming cigarettes from office boys."
In screenings in 1974, real-life press people were observed laughing it up as their cigar-chomping movie counterparts (veteran character actors Alan Garfield, Charles Durning, et al.) wisecracked while playing poker before a hanging ("I haven't won a pot since Leopold and Loeb"), listened in on anyone who dictated ("Officials are prepared for a general uprising of radicals at the hour of execution but the Sheriff still refuses to be intimidated by the Red Menace") and sent in versions that went one better ("Sheriff Hartman has just put 200 more relatives on the payroll to protect the city from the Red Army, which is leaving Moscow in a couple of minutes.")
However, when Jack Lemmon, as Hildy, delivered his dire eulogy for his pals, the real-life press people grew silent. In 1974, with fewer and fewer cities that had competing newspapers, it hit even closer to home.
It shouldn't be a surprise that bad things happen when an industry has been under the gun year after year, decade after decade, century after century.
At 67, one NBA season from retirement (I thought), the rising tide of BS was enough to prompt me (and, I'm sure, half of the building, including bosses) to muse about throwing the job in their faces.
Whose face I would throw it into wasn't clear. It certainly wasn't anyone in my department, where my bosses, Bill Dwyre, Rick Jaffe, Dave Morgan, Randy Harvey, Mike James and John Cherwa, treated me like a prince.
"You don't understand," I told Cherwa last spring, when he asked me to work a day I figured I had off. "I'm 67. I'm drawing Social Security. I don't need this job."
"Well, I'm 57 and I need this job," replied Cherwa, who knew better than to take me seriously, since I always did what they wanted (or, at least, that's my story).
"In the good news for you," I told him, "you're going to live 10 years longer than I will. In the bad news, you're going to have to work 10 more years than I will."
Last winter, the word came down they wanted me to stop writing for Truthdig, which I had no intention of doing. We had been told to avoid displaying any political affiliation, even bumper stickers on our cars, but as a sports writer with no conceivable conflict of interest with anything I covered, I was beyond the point of conceding the paper's right to whittle the Bill of Rights at its whim.
(I can now reveal my outlaw participation: My wife and I not only put Obama stickers on our cars, we worked for him before the California primary.)
The word came back, Truthdig was OK. Things went back to normal ... until June when they wouldn't run a column I wrote, a first for me.

American journalism is pretty much exclusively about sensationalism. This includes sports and political commentaries.
On a world scale it is entirely insignificant (though not for the people involved obviously), but few people are interested in things that do not immediately affect them or their personal interests.
None of this is unique to American journalism, they are just a bit more myopic (or advanced along the path leading to irrelevance and pure entertainment) than most.

The current socio-political-media climate in the U.S.,
from a Wikipedia entry:
"Cultural hegemony is the philosophic and sociological theory, by the Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci, that a culturally diverse society can be dominated (ruled) by one social class, by manipulating the societal culture (beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values) so that its ruling-class worldview is imposed as the societal norm, which then is perceived as a universally valid ideology and status quo beneficial to all of society, whilst benefiting only the ruling class."

—Heisler considers Obama to be a hero worthy of praise for his monumental "healthcare" achievement? Obama didn't "tackle" the healthcare problem. He sacked Single-Payer, which was the only real solution!—
Near as I can tell Heisler was a sports journalist, not a political one.

Say what you want about Tribune and Zell, but disparaging copy editors?

Mark, thanks for a wonderful article. As a former designer/editor of the closed Rocky Mountain News, all the details you mention in your article sounded depressingly familiar: Clueless leaders, panic and fear. The only thing missing was the mantra that has become too common in newsrooms: "We need to do more with less." What that ends up meaning is usually "Let's do less."
Thank you again for your wonderful article, and the courage to write it.

Some very insightfull observations on the last page. They have been mentioned before, but they are expressed cogently here, that the focus on speed and form (and profit) over understanding and deliberation leads to increasing cognitive dissonance within groups of the population. As he said: groups are living in alternative universes.
Important as the internet is, we have to find a way out of this trap, or we will see a series of (civil) wars mar our transition away from the industrialised society into whatever the networked world is leading to.

Dear Sirs,
This concerns the James Holmes case. Much of this is psychic information, so I need to qualify my statements here
First, I have good reason to believe that the female attorney who sits with him in the courtroom isn't a lawyer. I have reason to believe she is a fake attorney. I have seen this before. I questioned what she knew about the term mens rea, and she couldn't answer. She also couldn't answer about habeus corpus. I asked her several times if she understood these terms. Then I asked her about the terms estoppel, and consideration. Both of these terms concern contracts and torts. Consideration concerns contracts. She answered them very quickly and easily. She said, "I know what those mean ... they mean ...". I tossed these out as variables in this to see if she was willing to answer any question, and she was. But she didn't understand mens rea, which is central to a criminal case. A person can only assume that the woman has been trained as the fake attorneys are, to pretend to be attorneys in certain law suits, and to say the right buzz words at the right time.
This woman was apparently so furious that I was starting to get in the middle of the Holmes case again, that either she or a proxie came in on Saturday night to do something there at the shelter where I stay. As far as I can tell, the security was on guard concerning the movements of this woman. This was what else I found out about her:
She worked for an attorney for awhile as some kind of secretary, not even a paralegal. I heard that she came out of Virginia or Maryland, somewhere East. She has no training in law, but just wanted to be in the middle of a court case. That is it for her.
James Holmes' father apparently is some kind of big wig in financing and/or computers. Yet, Mr. Holmes' father allows his son to be defended by a public defender. Apparently a top notch non-white collar criminal defense attorney can be retained with $20,000. The final bill would probably run to around $10,000,000. This could be paid in installments. If Mr. Holmes walks as a victim of legal fraud, he is looking at a major personal injury suit that would easily pay for all the bills and then some. I just wanted to show here that Mr. Holmes' father is allowing him to be set up to die for a crime he did not commit.
A person shared that four gunmen were at the theater at the time of the shooting. Mr. Holmes was not there. He was at a friend's house, and was taken to the police station at some time during the night or early morning. I hear that there may have been around four or five others in the car with him. It may have been a green SUV large of foreign design. I don't know the make.
Mr. Holmes claims he does not remember being at the theater. He remembers being at his friend's home that evening. He doesn't remember going to the police station. I heard that he was simply commanded not to remember the trip to the police. This command I know personally.
Apparently Mr. Holmes had found out about a plan to torture and murder a man, and informed the police about the plan. Someone making the plan was killed. This set up was retaliation for Mr. Holmes ratting on the people who were wanting to do this, and for aiding in the one participant getting murdered. I heard that the targeted torture victim was a Turkish man.
There were others in the theater who helped with the plans, but who did not participate in the shooting. Women were included here.
Recently the defense counsel offered to the D.A. a plea of guilty, with the condition that the death penalty would be removed from the sentence options. The DA informed defense that defense needed to turn over some information before this plea could be considered. Consequently, this plea of guilty, which would have ensured at least Holmes's life until an appeal, was rejected.
According to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, there is a procedure required in all criminal cases, that the two opponents in the trial turn over all requested documents. This is done in the discovery stage of the trial. According to Holmes, defense had already turned over all documents required by the rules. There was nothing else to turn over to the state. If the opposing side refuses to turn over requested documents, there is recourse, according to the rules. There is no allowance to turn this into a bargaining chip to refuse the right to make a pleading to avoid trial. The man was willing to plead guilty.
I have added below the section from the FRCP concerning discovery requirements for defense, and failure to comply.
As far as I can see, this act of offering a plea that is summarily rejected on these grounds is an effort to make a facade of good faith bargaining before trial, while they in fact did not want the plea to be accepted. The attorneys wanted Mr. Holmes to face the death penalty by forcing a "not guilty by reason of insanity" pleading, which can be easily sabotaged in order to lose the trial. In addition to this, the trial would be humiliating for him, as it will set authorities on the stand, expert witnesses, who will claim all sorts of things about Holmes, belittling him and saying he did or said weird things, and just humiliating him. He would be raked over the coals, and he will be hurt, for the fact that he tried to help a man that someone else wanted to torture to death. They will lie. Apparently the police have already told Holmes that he took some kind of device to pry open the door from the outside, to show that he acted alone. According to one police witness, this type of entry into a theater is an impossibility, as the locks are magnetic, and any effort to force them will set off an alarm in the security office.
I talked psychically to Mr. Holmes last night. I told him a bit about the insanity defense and what was going to happen to him. I told him that the trial was going to be delayed if they choose this defense, and that there was going to be a new judge, presumedly a man from Central America. James got upset. He had thought that this wasn't going to take long - understandably, as he believed it would be quickly proved that he is innocent. Now it has started to hit him, that he is really being set up to die. I told him I would do what I can.
In Frendak v. The United States, 1979, a court in the District of Columbia decided that a defendant could reject the insanity pleading if he so chooses, given certain requirements on this decision. The decision in Frendak was that if a defendant was determined able to stand trial and understand the implications of the proceeding, then he had the right to choose not to make an insanity pleading. A number of jurisdictions have retained the right of counsel to decide for the defendant, but according to one report, this could most likely be overturned by a Supreme Court decision, given the Court's decision concerning other related matters. Essentially, James could possibly put it on record that he did not want the insanity pleading, and his counsel would be hard put to force it on him.
I'm a voice, and James looked at me very soon after the incident, almost immediately. Somehow he knew about what I have done before, my letters and my willingness to talk about the taboo issues. I have already written about James, which I believe is why the attorney was so mad that I was starting to look into the case again.
This looks like an almost identical set up as the one with John Wayne Gacy, including the changing of the judges, and the little maneuvers such as the rejected plea bargain.
James has not confessed to the police, as far as I know. Also, there were no eye witnesses who could actually identify James at the theater. The shooter wore a mask, or all the shooters wore masks.
Finally, as James' father refuses to help him get quality counsel, perhaps the news media who are so interested in the truth, could pool their resources and secure a top of the line defense attorney, to help this poor man get out of jail and not be railroaded through a humiliating trial and a life on death row. He wants to go back to school, hopefully outside of the Denver area.
This is a total waste of excellence and human intelligence. I am going to share this letter with several other news agencies. This will be an ongoing effort, and I will write more on this later.
Thank-you very much.

re: James Holmes.
I don't have anything to substantiate this, but someone told me last night, a man who seemingly was in the middle of the event, that between 40 and 100 people were killed. It was not 14. First, the man said 100 people. Then someone else said it was around 40. It could be presumed that the reason why the number was cut down was because if the real number had been revealed, the lone gunman theory would collapse immediately. I believe that it was around 100.
Also, I have reason to believe that some of the news videos, including a longer news situation, are fake, in that the people talking about what they saw were lying, and were very possibly not even present at the time of the shooting. I am acquainted with a series of news documentaries that come out of the office of one reporter, that utilizes a stable of fake witnesses, whom this reporter interviews in different situations, and they talk by a script. I realized what was going on when I caught one woman in two of the documentaries, using some kind of expression that was too identical, and I looked at both and it was the same person, in two news items coming from two totally different situations in two different locations. I can't say anthing much more revealing at this time, because I could get killed or seriously hurt if I actually revealed his identity. But his reports are fake, and he may not even be in the location he claims he is, when he does his filming and interviewing.
I have reason to believe that the man puts plants in the location before the event in question, who later becomes a fake witness to the event. I saw an extended news item concerning the shooting in which I saw a man such as this who looked like he could be a relative of the reporter, and who said some very ludicrous things concerning Holmes' mental makeup.
I have been watching news videos on the shooting aftermath, and so much of the testimony sounds fake and off, things that should catch the attention of someone who was listening closely. I believe even the short news items, such as with people in the hospitals after the shooting, are made of fake witnesses. Some described the scene in a manner that didn't sound right, such as the guns only looking like sparks in the corner of the room. A few of the witnesses didn't have the awareness to understand how loud a shotgun or a semi-automatic rifle would sound in an enclosed space such as a movie theater, and just overlooked this part of the event when they were describing the scene. I forgot how many shots they described happening in just a minute or two, but if it really was a shotgun or an automatic rifle, it would be absolutely deafening, yet these witnesses didn't catch it.
I am acquainted with this particular reporter, and I am also acquainted with some of his stable of witnesses he utilizes. This man has dipped in and out of the living situation I am in, a homeless shelter in Portland, Maine, for the presumed purpose of doing a documentary of this place. I was told that he could easily have already made the film, and this is still a possiblity, and I would never even have known it, because it would all have been done in a separate location with his actors. The message in the film would have been according to what he wanted it to be, and have nothing to do with the reality of the situation.
These fake witnesses, already in the news videos, could easily, first, be utilized to support the idea that there was a lone gunman popping off a shotgun in the theater, and then leaving, and then later these same fake witnesses could be used at trial for the same purpose.
There were incongruous reports on even the police scanner in the beginning, and there were at least two other suspects that were never mentioned again. Yet within a very short time, less than a day, and maybe just with a couple of hours, the only suspect was Holmes. There were no more suspects to apprehend. The police scanner said there were guns and gas masks in the car, before the man was apprehended. I heard psychically that there were a good number of guns. According to the final report that we all heard, the only gun in the car was a pistol. But the police said guns and masks - plural.
I am looking into the amount of time the police decided there was only one suspect, as I don't believe there was sufficient time whatsoever to make a determination such as this. As you well know, the police didn't have a closed perimeter for at least thirty minutes after the shooting. One of the news witnesses stated he got out during the lull in the shooting, and simply went out to his car, not being stopped by the police. Accoring to one news video, quite a few people just left, without being stopped by the police. Yet it became certain that it was only Holmes and nobody else, at least within twenty-four hours of the shooting, but I believe within maybe one hour.
I have been reading about forensics investigations, and I have become aware of the intricacies of the investigative process, and what it all involves. There is no way in hell that it could be decided that all those killings and maimings could have come from one gun within that amount of time. Absolutely no way. There is so much to analyze to make that determination. Witnesses lie, and people make false confessions everyday. A false confession has to be verified by the facts, and not on its own. It is a point of fact here that Holmes has never made a real confession, and the only people who identified him were the police who presumedly unmasked him at the car.
The man is being railroaded to a death penalty, just as it happened with John Wayne Gacy. The model is nearly identical, including the insanity pleading. The DA rejected a pleading of guilty without the death penalty, on the grounds that the defense hasn't come forward with material for the trial. This is totally bogus, and it looks like both sides are just trying to make a show of good faith.
I also want to report that I understand that Holmes' attorneys are abusing him, saying things like, "I don't like you", and "I don't want you to do anything", this last statement with the tacit meaning that they don't want him to have a life in the world. I also heard that one is physically abusing him. I hear that there is a witness to all of this who can confirm what I am saying. They make him cry. I also heard from someone else that none of them are real attorneys, but are fake.
This is it for now.
Thank-you very much.

As you well know by now, Mr. Holmes has entered not guilty for reason of insanity plea, on May 7, 2013. I hear now that a man affiliated very closely with the Gacy trial has been seen in Denver, and apparently is helping to direct the counsel in the Holmes trial.
I have found some pieces of evidence that may help to work for Mr. Holmes. First, the police scanner showed police who found the white car behind the theater, as saying that there were guns and gas masks. The plural is very clear. Second, James Holmes could not have fired that many rounds into the theater, to have killed and wounded over fifty people. The reason for this is that the rifle he presumedly was using was not automatically firing. The trigger had to be pulled at every round, meaning every shot. This would require the muscle strength in his firing hand to surpass the requirements for the FBI. The FBI is required to fire a 45 automatic 60 times in one minute, and this was not a pistol, but a large rifle, with a more difficult trigger. Also, the shotgun Mr. Holmes reportedly was using, shoots at maximum capacity 9 rounds before needing to be reloaded. Many times in the news reports you hear police and others saying that Mr. Holmes fired up to 100 rounds in a matter of just a few minutes. This would be impossible for such an inexperienced shooter. There was one news report that stated that the accuracy rate, to drop so many people in such a short time, proved that Mr. Holmes had been practicing, as it was about as good or better than trained military. And there is more. There is one video from a cell phone, depicting someone wounded outside waiting for help, and lo and behold, there was an alarm going off behind her, as the emergency door had been opened, which sets off an alarm automatically. Yet there was no alarm when the unidentified man opened the door in theater nine. Also, police were already at the theater, to help in crowd control for the big rush to see the Batman movie in two theaters, as both theaters were packed. Not one witness interviewed after the shooting depicted the caliber of noise that would have been heard inside the theater, if that many rounds were being shot, and nobody rushed into the theater at the sound of so much gunfire, and certainly it would have spread into the lobby, and to the ears of the police standing by. One witness said there were only the sparks of the gunfire, and another said it went, pop pop pop. One hundred rounds of shotgun or assault rifle would have been deafening, and nobody could have missed it. This would have been the most prevalent experience of the whole event, unless you had been shot. Nobody said anything about the noise. Also, nothing was said about any emergency alarm going off. Also, witnesses who said they ducked down flat behind the chairs, suddenly knew what the shooter was doing in the front, although they shouldn't have been able to see him.
Please remember, the police scanner has the police at the car saying, "we have guns, and we have gas masks".
John Wayne Gacy was railroaded into an insanity defense that may have cost him his life. He was represented by absolutely inept counsel, whose opening statement told the jury that the man was guilty, but he was crazy. And it got worse from there. In Gacy's gentle inabiltiy to defend himself, he chose a man who stood 5'1", whose presence made the whole trial look like a joke. Apparently this same man, who, after such a blundering foul up of this trial, got promoted to a bench as a trial judge very shortly afterward. Now rumor has it that he is advising the Holmes defense team of things that need to be done.
One of the big positions for the Gacy defense was that Gacy had the attributes of Dr. Jekyle and Mr. Hyde, good and bad. I have found this same reference now being put onto Holmes, even in an online article by Psychology Today. My guess is that this is going to show up at the trial.
Mr Holmes did not want the insanity pleading, and legally he has the right to refuse it, as long as he allows himself to be evaluated to be able to make this decision. This is the Colorado statute, 16-8-101 and 16-8-103.
James Holmes could not have done the shooting that killed so many people, possibly more that haven't been accounted for. Yet the reasons why he couldn't have done it will be ignored, as the alibi will not be required for an insanity defense. The facts can be swept under the rug, and Holmes is facing a death penalty. The insanity pleading success rate for someone like Holmes is very limited, if there is any at all. The probability that he will be convicted on false testimony for something he didn't do, is very good, and he will be sentenced to death if convicted. It's a sham of the first order. I am out of time.
First, the photo that we see with him grinning strangely, with brown hair, was just a photo with him mugging for the camera. It only shows that he has a sense of humor, and says nothing about his being mentally ill. This I know from talking with him.
Two summers ago I found myself stuck in a homeless shelter in Oklahoma City, called City Rescue Mission. This shelter had a policy that the homeless who did not find work or schooling in thirty days were required to go into a program there called "Bridge To Life". This program happens to be a cult that rapes and beats and degrades the people who have gotten stuck there, as these people just don't know how to survive on the streets of OKC, and get pulled in gradually. When I was there, I found out that Bridge To Life turns the victims into robotic servants of their cult leader, whoever he/she is, and whoever they come from. Your guess is as good as mine here. But the issue is that the cult is run by a belligernt entity to the United States Government, and feeds eventually the workforce in several communities with these brainwashed zombies. One of these communities is reportedly Denver Colorado. The BTL cult machine feeds the service sectors, including security personnel, city employees, library, etc. You also find alongside these employees squadrons of fake police officers, who are running their own operation of picking up people on some pretense of needing to interrogate them for something, and then taking them somewhere to murder them. I am personal witness several times to these fake police, from experiences in Oklahoma City. I have evidence and another witness to confirm what I am saying.
It is reported that a very sizable number of city police in the Denver area are actually fakes coming out of the BTL machine. These fakes may or may not be working alongside the true DPD and APD. They may have their own office or wing, or they may just come out of nowhere at the right time.
It was reported that there were police officers already at the movie theater for the purpose of crowd control, as it was such a maximum crowd for the movie. I was sharing this last night, and someone said that it reminded them of something that happened, that when the shooting started, a police officer was actually there inside the theater, and was telling people not to panic.
I questioned the possibility of a police officer not being able to hear gun shots from the theater lobby, as this would be much louder than the movie running, and would be recognizable for any trained police.
I was discussing all the different details that people were ignoring, and the issue again came up about the security alarm. I said, "they had to have a security alarm, because it would be a requirement in their insurance policy." This is a major oversight. This is something that would be necessarily correct, that in order to be covered by any substantial liability insurance, you would have to have a security alarm on the doors. But there was not alarm on the side door in theater nine, for thirty minutes, so that any house security or police would come down to investigate. Undoubtedly there is a security office, with video monitors of all areas of the theaters. As soon as I mentioned the insurance policy, someone flipped out. They hadn't thought of this. It's a flaw in their cover up.
My theory at this time is that the man who stood up with his cell phone and walked to the door, was talking to someone in security, who had just turned off the alarms in theater nine. I believe that the security that had been set up in the Centure 16 theater, including the house cops, were a part of the corruption, instructed to look the other way and cooperate with what was coming down.
Holmes was targeted obviously because of his father, who is set to testify in the libor scandal. Seeing his son set up for a mass murder charge is going to weaken his stand as a witness to big money corruption. My theory on this also is that Mr. Holmes is not being permitted to hire an attorney for his son, by the same people who are trying to silence his testimony. It is too suspicious that such a well to do man, who has a top notch attorney for his own issues, doesn't raise a finger to help his son, and sets James to the dogs to be represented by inept legal counsel, to assure that he will be sentenced to death.
I have been informed that the man who was central to the Gacy trial is instructing Holmes' attorneys on what to do to railroad him to the death penalty, as they did Gacy. One of their big weapons is their belief that they aren't required to look at any evidence the proves Holmes' innocence, because all that is required is to call the expert witnesses about Holmes' insanity. His guilt, or the fact that he did it, is established at the time of the pleading of NGRI. All the details the show that he didn't do it at all, will be completely ignored. This is what the defense attorneys are being instructed to believe, and there could be a big stonewall with any evidence coming to them before trial, that proves his innocence. The attorneys are inept, and unable to process the information any other way than to proceed in this manner.
Another thing to consider, is that the District Attorney has stated publically that he has polled the Denver and Aurora people as to how they felt about the death sentence, or how to proceed with Mr. Holmes. He has done this while sitting on information that shows that James is in fact innocent, and he is not showing this to the public. He has made a decision to ask for the death penalty, using public opinion as his excuse for doing so. At the same time, no videos have been released to show what really happened, and all evidence pointing to Mr. Holmes' innocence is being suppressed. The Denver District Attorney in doing this is calling up a lynch mob, and he should be prosecuted for this.
Finally, the University of Denver insists still that there is no way that the notebook would have sat ignored in the mailroom for any length of time. They have to move the mail quickly, due to the important correspondances among the faculty and research personnel. It was a plant, and this says it all, really.
I think something is going to give, and it really needs to do so before the trial is underway.
Four more things today: First, James' fathers attorneys are not allowed to take the case, due to same corruption as the Holmes case. This looks bad for a law firm such as theirs. Normally, when a high powered law firm represents a high powered attorney such as Robert Holmes, they take all of the client's problems under their wings, including those of the family.
Second, Mr. Holmes' law firm advised James' attorneys to file a motion to dismiss, on the grounds of insufficient evidence to indict. They didn't do it. Included in this evidence is the fact that there is evidence that James cannot fire a gun. He tried to shoot a gun and got scared and couldn't do it. Also included is the fact that there were witnesses to what really happened in the theater, and their testimony has been ignored by the police.
Please include this in your roster of evidence and commentary.

|Shockwave has always been my favourite Decepticon and i've been looking forward to making him for some time.
I made this as part of a group with White Leviathans Starscream and we alos put on a skit.
This costume was made using the PVC over foam technique and was a bit of an eye opener, really I think my choice of materials was very wrong and the technique could be improved conciderably with higher density foam and different material.
So, while I love the way the costume looks I'm really dissapointed in it from a quality and construction point of view. Oh well!
The eye is rigged up so that I can make it flash in time with his voice and his gun also lights up.
Unlike Prime this costume was made to fit me without any additional height so there are some inherant proportion problems. The chest should be a lot bigger and the head smaller - this is sadly an inherant problem with this size transformers costume, I think I've done quite a good job of minimizing it however.
THIS WAS AMAZING! Loved it! <333
You robo legend, loved the skit :)
The skit was amazing, totally hilarious and the costumes were epic!
Thirded, the skit was great. Brilliant costume!
I loved this... it was great to see a Shockwave cosplay - I'd never seen him cosplayed before. Both your and Starscream's costumes looked great on stage, and the skit was super. ^^
This was you James?! OMG WELL DONE!
King of the robots, amazing!
You did a very good job with this. ^.^

City Secrets: New York City
by Robert Kahn
No current Talk conversations about this book.
We LOVE these books--great for gifts too!
I lived in NYC for a few years, and I loved searching this book for new places to explore. It's a great source for people who've visited the more traditional tourist spots or like to avoid common attractions. My only complaint is that it doesn't have photos.
As a traveller, and devourer of travel books, I love this 'City Secrets' series. Not for a first time traveller, or someone looking for the nuts and bolts of planning a trip, but for someone wanting to get to know some of the lesser known byways, or even the more interesting aspects of the mainstream tourist sites.
