the 8th Annual Midwest Furniture show has set the 2014 show dates for September 10th and 11th, 2014 at the Schaumburg Convention Center.
The Midwest Furniture Show is a regional furniture, bedding and accessories show that is run by the Midwest Furniture Club, one of the largest IHFRA chapters in the United States. It began in 2006 with a handful of manufacturers who banded together to bring the best of High Point and Las Vegas markets to the upper Midwest. The 2013 Show attracted over 500 attendees and 75 exhibitors across a broad spectrum of resources. Major exhibitors included, Englander, Ashley, Istakbal, Butler Speciality, Beverly Furniture, Pulaski, Brill Seating and Flair Upholstery. In addition to furniture companies, finance companies such as American Express, freight carriers, equipment vendors, and advertising firms exhibited.
"One of the reasons manufacturers and importers like about our show is the incredible value" says Geoff Weed of the Midwest Furniture Club. "For $3.50, our exhibitors get the whole package: rental space, marketing, pipe-and-drape and carpeting, a prime venue, free breakfast and lunch for exhibitors and attendees, access to many independent retailers in a major market, staging and storage assistance, and a lively social hour. It's a labor of love, with many IHFRA reps contributing to the Midwest furniture community. Our only requirement, other than paying rent, is that each rental space have an active member of the Midwest Furniture Club in their space."
Weed also points out to changing face of the furniture business when asked about why the show has endured. "The furniture marketplace is changing. With the recession of the last few years, we lost both major manufacturers and retailers. Consumer behavior has evolved to everything from a greater awareness of how credit and finances work to the importance of on-line selling and marketing. But many of our dealers don't attend the major markets. We want to give everyone a chance to succeed, so we bring the resources to Chicago each year."
The costs for exhibitors is remaining at $3.50 a square foot for spaces over 500 feet. Exhibitors sending in deposits after June 15th will pay $4 a square foot. Smaller spaces (under 500 feet) are available for service companies, advertising and marketing firms, transportation companies and accessory vendors at a rate of $4 per foot.
Anyone interested in attending or exhibiting can register at www.midwestfurnitureshow.com or contact Geoff Weed at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ore - Just The Tip
With the amount of post-blawan style techno bouncing around pretty much every producer aged 16-20, it's getting harder to find anything truly innovative in that spectrum. Ore is one of the few who I am really excited about. On the strength of a mere clip of one tune, Ore has blown the 4x4 template of techno into a mechanical mess, with swung intricate beats and raw subs. Definitely a producer to keep your eyes on right now. Not a lot can be said about him apart from he's producing some great music, you know it's all about the tunes. You can check out his mix for Half-Out which features his own exclusives and more.

RGB Button Pad
Rick was talking about this the other day in the office. His idea was to pick up a series of RGB LED's and somehow wire them up so they could pick up the days hexday colors and show them off somehow – think wireless hexday art installation.
"Each button randomly cycles through colors. When pressed, all other buttons take the color of the pressed button, which highlights white. When released the buttons briefly stay at the held color before beginning to cycle again.
The video quality is poor, due to a combination of my crummy camera and my crummy skills at using it. The buttons aren't quite as bright as they seem in the video, but any flickering you might see is definitely not noticeable in person.
Read all about it at upwardnotnorthward.com"

Banjara on Bloor- & Madras on Bloor is it worth a visit? New to Bloor and Bathurst and Hungry!
we moved to Bloor and Bathurst and trying lots of different places.
We tried Rajput's Bistro east of Christie and despite wanting to like it a lot, it was not good at all. (Sauces were all very similar and too sweet and tomato-based, naan was the oddest texture, even the rice was sticking together, the shrimp dish had used obviously grocery store frozen shrimp).
The owner is so very kind and the place is cozy but the food far from acceptable, even if well priced.
There is a Banjara and Madras both west of Christie as well as another Indian restaurant adjacent to it.
Are either any good?
Fresh naan and fluffy flavourful rice is mandatory, otherwise I'd rather just make rajmah, mung bean dals and channa myself and my own average basmati rice.
Are either worth a stroll past Christie?
I haven't been to Banjara or Madras on Bloor, but I do like Maroli on the north side of Bloor, east of Christie. http://www.maroli.ca/menu.php
Maroli serves Keralan cuisine, so naan isn't one of their specialties.
I'd think Banjara is a better bet for good naan.
re: prima
thanks Prima!
I met the owners and their son is in my daughter's class at Palmerston we found out. They are so warm and friendly.
I've not had Keralan food, I look forward to trying it.
It's closer to my nightmare reno on Markham St. anyways but on nights when we are driving somewhere the parking at Banjara could be very handy on the go.
Banjara is our go-to Indian restaurant in this area. They serve \reasonably priced, flavourful, quality food. Service is quick but a little inconsistent. Naan has always come hot and fresh. I rarely order rice dishes so I can't comment on that.
Madras, while run by the same owner, is definitely not as good.
I found Banjara 'just OK'. In Michelin parlance 'not worth a detour'.
Spicing was just 'hot or not' - no layering, and most of the dishes I ordered were rice dominant - they give huge portions of rice (not particularly fluffy, although that doesn't bother me) which makes the dishes appear larger than the protein (or whatever) would require.
So, if you go, maybe follow CornerDemonio's approach.
re: estufarian
Certainly not Michelin rated :) I eat mostly vegetarian dishes. Paneer, cauliflower, dhal, etc. I've tried a fish dish but I've never tried the chicken, lamb, or other meats.
We have liked Indian Rice Factory on Dupont but it is not cheap. They bill themselves as Indian flavours using fresh Canadian ingredients. Their paneer is perfection.
re: ComerDemonio
Indian Rice Factory has some of the best spicing in Toronto. Also an excellent wine list.
BUT their service is atrocious - so much so that I rarely venture there. Thumbs in food; servers actually looking away and talking to others while placing (wrong word!) the food in front of you.
And the prices are certainly higher there (probably justified by the higher quality ingredients) - but I just can't get over being ignored.
re: estufarian
I couldn't agree more....it is our 'closest' Indian restaurant but too many meals marred by indifferent to rude staff and the owner who passed away (r.i.p.)(son has inherited) was one of the most unfriendly people I've ever met...the food was always good or at least 'interesting' in the best sense, particularly in the spicing, but the attitude of both mother and son turned us away permanently...we usually make the trek to Gerrard Street, but also go to Banjara on occasion.
re: Arcadiaseeker
Thanks, I'll add Savera to my list of places to hit over the holidays. I am in the middle of a reno inferno (suprise whole house gut drainage to shingles) so I've had no decent kitchen since late Novermber and won't until mid January so we eat out a lot. It's nice to have options.
I personally love Banjara. I'm not a huge naan fan so not sure about how good that is (though I think it was fresh) but I love their food otherwise. However, I should add I focus on seafood and veg dishes which makes mine a very specific review.
I tried the restaurant that is right next to it (possibly called Madras) once but it didn't impress.
re: Ediblethoughts
Which seafood and veg dishes do you recommend the most?
I also tend to focus on veg dishes at Indian restaurants.
re: prima
I love the spinach fry! They have so many veg dishes and I don't eat Indian more than a once every couple months so it's hard to recall exactly which dishes I've had. I had a lovely eggplant dish (probably the baingan bharta but not absolutely certain). I've had the mushroom curry which was good but a little too saucy for me. I've also had a daal or two. I've had the fish curry and it was good and I'm sure I've had one of the shrimp dishes but can't recall which.
I honestly don't recall any bad dishes; next time I go, I'll make better notes! (I should add though that while my first visits were to the location on Bloor---which was always PACKED---more recently I've been to the depressingly and strangely dead location on Eglinton since that's much closer. I think the food is fairly consistent between the two locations...)
re: Ediblethoughts
Thanks Ediblethoughts.
The place was full by 7, with a line-up by 8 on Friday night.
I tried the shrimp makhani combo platter tonight, medium-hot, $13.95.
http://torontobanjara.com/quickcombop... I like that this is an option- 1/2 a piece of naan, some pakora, a dish of your choice (one veg, seafood, chicken or meat dish), aloo gobi, daal, rice and kheer.
Certainly provided bang for the buck. While the curries weren't as nuanced as the curries at Indian Rice Factory, I found Banjara's quick combo platter to be tasty and a good deal. A recent meal of channa masala, rice, naan, raita, and masala chai came to $40 at Indian Rice Factory, so it was a relative bargain to spend $23 including several sides, a dessert (although Banjara's kheer is way too sweet for me), mango lassi, tax and tip.
I thought the food on my quick combo platter was at a similar level to the Babur lunch buffet. I don't know if the food is more carefully prepared or more nuanced if you order the dishes a la carte, rather than through a quick combo platter. The quick combo platters are very quick. The table to our right had their platters within 5 minutes of ordering. I'm guessing Banjara has huge vats of butter chicken ready on Friday nights.
I agree with estufarian that his 'hot or not', with no layering, assessment.
I wish some of the Indian restaurants in North TO and beyond offered quick combo platters for 1, with the option of ordering your choice of any chicken/meat/seafood/vegetable dish. I realize Amaya Express offers a choice of 4 individual curry boxes ($10.95 for veg, $11.95 for chicken/lamb, and including rice). I like being able to have more choice and more dishes when dining solo.
I'd probably still choose Maroli first for an economical Indian dinner near Bloor and Christie, but I would return to Banjara again, maybe to try the spinach fry next time.
re: prima
I should try out a combo platter; we usually order 4 or 5 dishes and have lots of left overs. I used to adore the IRF (loved it from way, way back) but the quality didn't seem to be great enough to justify the tiny portions. But I haven't been there for several years so maybe it's time to go back and try it out. If you try the spinach fry, let me know!
re: Ediblethoughts
Although the prices are on the high side, the portions were a decent size at IRF on my visit a couple months ago. The rice was overcooked and I didn't like their raita much. But the naan was good. It's too bad IRF doesn't have a combo option or half portions (as far as I'm aware) for solo diners, because if I'm craving Indian before a play at the Tarragon, I only end up ordering a main and a starch, because I don't want to bring a doggie bag into the theatre.
re: Ediblethoughts
Interesting that both Amaya The Indian Room and IRF can charge $17 for butter chicken. What I find it even more interesting that IRF can charge $15 for chickpeas when Amaya The Indian Room is charging $9. $24 for butter lobster at The Indian Room.
I hadn't realized IRF was more expensive than Host http://www.welcometohost.com/togo/ind...
re: Ediblethoughts
Madras Masala is up-and-down. Their menu is too large for the traffic, so many ingredients (by default) are frozen (and probably dried). I've finally given up on them too. Had some decent Dosas for a while, but last couple of times the texture was all wrong - seemed to dry out the saliva, and was a bit mealy.
Banjara has a good reputation, always full, apparently enormous take-out portions. I was a bit disappointed at my last visit, but it may just have been a bit day, Try it, by all means. I think Madras has the same owner, but not sure. Decent prices.
Never tried Madras but enjoy Banjara (we've never eaten in, only takeout and they always ask for level of spiciness - mild, medium or hot).
re: meatnveg
Hey Meatnveg - can you please tell me more about Mt. Everest? What dishes do you order? What do you like about the food? I've been wanting to try it but have heard little about the quality.
re: Arcadiaseeker
It's not your average Indian place, in that it has a Nepalese owner and (as I understand) chef. That being the case, the flavours tend to be a little more muted. This may sound like a bad thing, but the taste profile very closely matches what I ate growing up in India. The spices don't punch you in the face...it's more of a light tap.
If going for their Nepali dishes, I like the Aloo & semee (green beans with potatoes) and Palungo Ko Saag (spinach) or the Kukhura Ko Maasu (Nepalese chicken dish).
Also worth a try is the Choyela and the momo's.
When going there for Indian food, I stick to the tandoori offerings. This is primarily Indian joints can't seem to make curry dishes to my liking (too heavy on oil and/or cream), but also because I love, love, love Tandoori chicken and tikkas (nawabi or haryali).
They do have the thali offerings as well. Good value and good for trying lots of stuff.
re: meatnveg
Good to hear you like the tandoori offerings at Mt Everest. Will have to check it out in the New Year.
Banjara is my current fave in the city. The chilli chicken is particularly awesome.
We get it delivered and have found it fairly consistent. Sometimes the pakoras can be on the cold side but we just put them in the toaster oven for a bit and they're fine.
I've eaten at the restaurant once and would rather have it delivered. Service was fine and all but think they space used to be a donut shop of some sort of fast food thing. It still kind of feels like a donut shop.
I like both places. Madras is pretty much the only place you can get south indian west of Greenwood.
However, although I thought they shared a kitchen, whenever I get naan at Madras, it doesn't taste like it came from a tandoor. It doesn't have the right consistency, it seems more like it was baked in an oven.
Wow! How awesome.
I got such a good education. I. LOVE. CHOWHOUNDS.
Thanks so much.
I ate at Maroli. The owners are lovely! Very fresh food. Portion sizes were fine. Mains a bit oily but very tasty. My husband said it was the first fine tasting butter chicken (we order it for the kids) he had tasted in years. We also had the fish that is served only Friday/Sat. My husband really liked it. I really liked the mixed veg curry.
We ate at Mt. Everest today, (buffet: we were pressed for time). Nan- yummy and fresh. Rice-good and fluffy. Spice-nice. Overall, good food given that it was a buffet after all. And on the healthier side of oilness.
Btw: I love chanting recording in the backround. Makes me so relaxed. Barely noticed until I realize how relaxed I felt :)
The wait staff are very competent yet super stealthy quiet.
I look forward to trying the Host, Banjara and Indian Rice Factory.
thank you for sharing your very helpful experiences!
re: puffychild
Why not call them and ask? I think there's a website, too. Might have a map.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302
The 2012 Camaro ZL1 is powered by the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 LSA engine used in the Cadillac CTS-V. Chevy is promising 550 plus horsepower from the engine, which is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis will become the most powerful production Hyundai ever with the introduction of the sporty new 5.0 R-Spec model, which boasts a 5.0-liter V-8 with 429 bhp.
Mechanically, the 2012 Acura TL will continue with its fantastic V-6s. New, though, is a 6-speed automatic transmission that Acura says improves both performance and fuel economy.
As predicted from the pronounced Red Bull logo on its door, Rhys Millen—drifter, stunt driver and Pikes Peak veteran—will be driving the new Hyundai Veloster in the upcoming 2011 U.S. Rallycross season. Rhys Millen Racing, Millen's race shop, was tasked to building the rally-prepped Velosters. With Hyundai backing Rhys the past few years in his motorsports endeavors, this news came as no surprise. What was completely from left field was the announcement of a second Veloster rally car and its drivers: Robbie Maddison and Marcus Dodd.
Dodge estimates that the 2012 Charger SRT8 can hit 60 mph in less than 5 seconds, reach the quarter mile in under 13 and possess a top speed of 175 mph. In handling, the car is expected to pull 0.88g of lateral acceleration on the skidpad.

Being Water
The text of my sermon from The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Bozeman yesterday:
Being Water: Flexibility, Change and Following our True Nature
"Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening.
Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops.
Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters."
~Norman McLean, A River Runs Through It.
Those words by Norman McLean are famous all around the world. Mostly because they are words that resonate with everyone- on a primal level.
I too, am haunted by water.
Water- perhaps like every other spirit- looms wide in our world- open to the eyes that wish to see it. Or to the mind that wishes to know.
Water holds the vital components of life- we cannot go long without it. But too much and we die.
It is a tremendous force of creation AND destruction, a source of delight and dread.
How many people here do not know how to swim? How many would be thrilled to be adrift on a boat in the middle of the ocean? How many terrified? (Life of Pi)
And yet, do you know the delight of a cold glass of water on a hot day, or a warm bath after a long day of hard labor- or a hot tub after skiing?
Have you considered the water involved in your day- so far?
How much water have you used today?
Is it possible to even calculate?
Water is everywhere. It exists in a variety of states of purity. It is one of a very few elements that transition easily from solid to liquid to gas. It defines places and things on our planet by it's presence: ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, oceans, glaciers, icebergs, clouds. It defines places on our planet by it's absence: deserts, salt flats, stalagmites, etc.
Baking doesn't work without adding and removing water. Neither does fermentation and distillation. And do you have any idea how many gallons of water it takes to make one automobile?
It is an amazing substance, plentiful, misused, often taken for granted, but remarkably resilient- and I believe it can be our teacher.
First, Some Statistics
- 780 million people lack access to an improved water source; approximately one in nine people.
- Half of the world's hospital beds are filled with people suffering from a water-related disease.
- An American taking a five-minute shower uses more water than the average person in a developing country slum uses for an entire day.
- Over 2 1/2X the United States population do not have access to clean water.
- More people in the world have a mobile phone than access to a toilet.
- There is more fresh water in the atmosphere than in all of the rivers on the planet combined- but, If all of the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere fell at once, distributed evenly, it would only cover the earth with about an inch of water.
- It takes more water to manufacture a new car (39,090 gallons) than to fill an above ground swimming pool.
- It takes more than ten gallons of water to produce one slice of bread.
- Over 713 gallons of water go into the production of one cotton T-shirt.
- 1,000 gallons of water are required to produce 1 gallon of milk.
- Roughly 634 gallons of water go into the production of one hamburger
- The average faucet flows at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. You can save up to 4 gallons of water every morning by turning off the faucet while you brush your teeth.
When I start looking things up, sometimes I can't stop. :)
So now, let's think about water and what it does.
What do we use water for? Shout out an answer-
All good things. So we know it's good for washing, drinking, irrigation, skiiing, snowboarding, fishing. So many things.
What I love about water is its flexibility.
In more ways than one, water adapts to our needs. It also is amazing in its ability to adapt to the environment it finds itself in….
How much better off would we be, if we could naturally take the temperature of the room around us, and, if it got to be uncomfortable, we could just change shape to suit us better? That's what water does.
In fact, I think it's what we do, too- if we don't second guess ourselves- but more about that later.
Water is flexible. It moves over, around, under, through whatever gets in the way. It allows itself to be moved by the things it encounters- making music as it flows over rocks and boulders, whispering gently as it is stirred by the wind. Water, I imagine, is delighted by obstacles, because then it gets to find another way. That's the first lesson I try to remember form water.
I have a small fountain in my therapy office. I use it to remind myself and my clients that we are mostly water-66-70% -depending on the person and the time of day. As such, we have a right to claim its flexibility. We have the possibility and responsibility to be moved by the obstacles we see in our path- and to respond with our true nature. Gracefully, and honestly and purposeful. Just like the water from the hose does when it's thrown onto the lawn- it goes where it goes- according to its nature.
We sometimes have difficulty trusting our nature. We've sometimes come from spiritual or cultural traditions that have told us that our natures are to be overcome- that human nature is not godly or holy or noble or right. As such, sometimes, I believe we've lost something of the power of the voice of our true nature- the voice that knows what to do, where to go when we let go, when we just trust our nature to carry us forward.
How does water know where to go?
As a kid in a farming family, I remember being fascinated out with my grandfather as he flood irrigated the pastures. We used canvas dams and irrigation ditches….
I got pretty good at being able to tell where to place the dams so that it would water the pastures effectively. But there also was a lot of waiting. So I played in the water- I swam in the small creeks and noticed the plants that lived in the still waters, like cattails and arrowroot- and the water birch and cottonwoods that grew nearby. The red wing blackbird nests in the cattails, the fish and crayfish and insects and animals- and me. All brought together- all linked by water in some way or another. All following our nature- more or less.
One of the most amazing things about water, is that it changes according to its environment. If the temperature drops, it freezes, if it raises to a higher level it melts. Higher still, it evaporates. It knows how to adapt. I'm not suggesting that this is conscious process, but I think the lesson is clear.
Most of human suffering, I believe, is about not changing with the temperature of the environment. Much of the suffering I've encountered in others -and noticed in myself is about not recognizing that I'm not suited to the environment in my present form- and believing that I can't change.
That I shouldn't have to change.
Let THEM change. :)
Does it sound at all familiar?
It does to me- almost painfully.
But the lesson of water is about the infinite ability to change. To live in one form or another according to the temperature it finds itself in.
We can do that, too.
And we won't lose anything by doing it- except maybe our suffering. And I want to distinguish between suffering and pain.
Pain is real. Pain is important. Pain tells us when something needs attention. Could you imagine life without pain? I wouldn't want to. It's a valuable tool.
But suffering is something else entirely. Suppose I kick you in the leg- would you feel pain? Hopefully. But when does the suffering begin?
Suffering begins when you start to think "Greg shouldn't kick me like that- what a jerk! Wow- that really hurt, I can feel it throbbing now and I ought to just get up and kick him right back because I wasn't doing anything and he just kicked me and…" you get the idea.
Suffering is about embellishing the present with past pain.
It's about losing the present moment in the "should's". My Dad always said "Don't 'should' on yourself- it's a waste. It's better to say 'Next time that happens, I'll pay closer attention.'"
Smart man, my Dad.
If we let go of suffering, and just allow the pain to inform our true nature- then what happens? We may stop interpreting, may stop judging the truth or the justice of the pain and simply allow the experience to inform us.
Especially if we remember we are water. Verse 8 from the Tao Te Ching is one of my favorites:
The supreme good is like water,
which nourishes all things without trying to.
It is content with the low places that people disdain.
Thus it is like the Tao.
In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don't try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present.
When you are content to be simply yourself
and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
Just like water, we encounter resistance and move around it, over it, under it, through it- whatever is patiently allowed.
Pain is simply information- an obstacle, a barrier maybe. An opportunity to adjust our perceptions, change course and keep going.
Water always knows where it is going, because it trusts its nature. It is a reminder to me to trust my goodness and the goodness of all those around me.
Do you think you have a good sense about the importance of water to you now?
In the time it's taken me to speak to you today, we have all exchanged water vapor in this room through the inhalation and exhalation of our breath. It's inescapable. We're all part of each other through water.
And I love that. When you gather next in this room, try and remember that.
When you have difficulty with the person across from you, remember that you are filled with them, and vice versa, simply by breathing.
Isn't that wonderful? It's hard to be angry in the face of wonder. Or sad, or ashamed or afraid for that matter.
I believe that the greatest lesson water gives us is wonder. It is the gift of seeing ourselves in the breath of another.
It is about being haunted- by an inspiring spirit that teaches us to be flexible, to trust that we know where we're going and that we can change if need be.
So for a moment, I'd like to just offer you a brief meditation….
We are water. We are fluid.
We are mighty, we are rough;
we are gentle, we give life;
We are vapor, we are ice, we are snow.
We are the glaciers carve mountains, the springs that provide cool relief.
We make thunder and lightning
and rainbows and oceans.
We are perfectly adaptable, infinitely flexible and amazingly resilient.
We are grace.

Montana Jobless Rate Low
Montana's unemployment rate continues to fall- to 5.7%.
"Montana starts 2013 with a strong economy that has been adding jobs and gaining wages for over two years," said Labor Commissioner Pam Bucy. "Although the national economy faces risks and uncertainty arising from federal tax and spending levels, I am confident that Montana's economy will have the momentum and resilience to continue growth in the next year. Montana will continue to outperform the nation, with lower unemployment than the national average."
Excellent news- and with Pam in charge, it's probably not seen bottom yet.

The Girl Effect
The infographic below was created by the Girl Effect which is a movement about leveraging the unique potential of adolescent girls to end poverty for themselves, their families and the world. It highlights the problem of child marriage which leads to pregnancy and childbirth which can be fatal for young girls- not to mention damaging to a country's economy.

CDC: HIV Cases Decline for Black Women, Increase for Gay Men
Some disturbing news. From Reuters:
The CDC reported that the number of new cases of HIV among black women declined 21 percent between 2008 and 2010, while the incidence of HIV among young gay and bisexual men rose by 22 percent in the same time frame. The rate of HIV infections among black women remains 20 times higher than the number of new cases in white women, and HIV-infected black women account for 70 percent of HIV incidence among all women. Men who have sex with men comprised almost two-thirds of all new HIV infections in 2010.
Joseph Prejean, chief of the Behavioral and Clinical Surveillance Branch in CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, attributed the decline in new HIV cases among black women to HIV testing and the success of HIV
awareness campaigns. "Treatment advances" for AIDS may have caused young men to underestimate their risk and the health threat posed by HIV", said Prejean. Although anti-retroviral treatment prolongs life, HIV-infected individuals can expect to take medicine for the rest of their lives, at an estimated lifetime cost of $400,000. (emphasis mine)
Young black men who have sex with men have the highest HIV incidence of any population group within the United States. An earlier CDC report stated that 26 percent of new HIV cases occurred among young people age 13 to 24. Half of HIV-infected young people do not know their HIV status, reported CDC Director Thomas Frieden, MD.

I would have to go with the VFR1200F as an "only" bike, since it has optional hard panniers (although they are very pricey) and would be the only one that would not look silly with a top case. Bikes without locking storage are toys to me – I end up taking the Dullsville if I am going somewhere.

...Rode one recently, isn't a patch on the VFR12, not a patch and its uglier too. (although to be fair thats like saying which of the Williams sisters is the stunner, neither is exactly a looker)
@ Woodystock – Does it matter which H-D cruiser? Other than the V-Rod variations, touring bikes, and Sportsters, they are all pretty much the same.
I would have used the H-D XR1200R instead, as it is the one H-D that could be taken to a track day or on a canyon ride without being an embarrassment.

I started an orc warrior, leveled him to 46 and I remember thinking "This sucks, I have to bandage after every fight!".
I didn't understand, and therefore did not carry, food with me. I remember thinking "if I have first aid, why should I carry around food too?".
I'm thinking I should start leveling him again, I could probably get him to 70 with the increase in xp from quests.
I can do you one better there, as my original thinking was "I can sit down and heal for free, so why should I spend money on food?"
This was on a human rogue that I levelled to 39 despite shocking incompetence. I didn't really consult any outside sources (guides etc.) for WoW knowledge and just blundered through things on my own. It is almost maddening to think how bad I was and how much time I wasted back then. Good thing it was on a PVE server or else I might have quit playing forever, instead of for 6 months.
I eventually started another rogue on a PVP server and he's now at level 69. I've also got a 54 paladin sporting my first, crappy character's name.

RB/CB/WR Onterio McCalebb 5-10 170
Speed is what McCalebb brings, and his speed shows on the track as well as the field. If the team can find a spot for him to be the return guy it would be nice to have a legitimate threat other than Adam Jones returning kicks. They are trying McCalebb at corner but I don't know if he makes it just there. In my opinion, wide receiver would be the best spot, where he could use his best asset, his forward speed. Could he be a multi position player who backs up several positions?

AmyxBlaze: Open Your HeartBlaze the Cat had always been the same, ever since she was a child. She would sit in front of the Sol Emeralds for hours, her eyes narrowed to a slit-like position, her lips thinned with one of her fangs narrowly poking out. Her nose would twitch endlessly should she sense somebody approaching. Her hands would always be clenched into tight fists, giving off the feel that they would burst into flames at any second.It made her look frightening. The atmosphere she presented was meant to frighten away people. That was why Blaze was always alone.She tried not to let it bother her; after all, it would put her off her guard. It was almost written in stone that she was the one who was meant to guard these precious jewels with endless power.Raising a hand, Blaze uncurled her fist, allowing a small tongue of flames to fly towards the lantern next to her. It was getting dark. The lantern filled the area around the lilac cat with endless light, and she felt soothed. The dark had always left her
A Sonic Christmas TaleChristmas only occurs once a year. Many people take it upon themselves to celebrate, free themselves from worry, and enjoy the comfort of their families. It rarely happens throughout the year for some people, especially if they constantly at war to keep the world at peace from maniacs like Dr. Eggman.Amy's jade green eyes scanned the store's jewellery, on search for anything Rouge might fancy. Christmas shopping had to be the worst thing about Christmas, as it cost heaps. Nevertheless, Amy enjoyed getting out of the house.Eventually, she looked toward the nearest ruby necklace, which was studded with gems. Amy was fixated with it, the beauty that emerged out of it. But that would suit Rouge more than it would suit her."May I help you?" the clerk asked, snapping Amy out of her thoughts."Yes, I'll have this one," Amy stated, pointing at a topaz, coloured magenta pink. It was certainly different, and would help remind Rouge of the good and bad times she shared with that friend of hers
AmyxCream: Ice Cream"Are we there yet?" the somewhat innocent voice of Cream the Rabbit, now aged twelve asked, flipping back her long ears and allowing her chocolate brown eyes to shimmer in the sun. She had grown a lot in six years, in more ways than one, though it was moments like this where the rabbit wasn't afraid to show her childish nature.The company the young doe shared; a tall pink hedgehog of around eighteen, with shoulder-length quills, jade green eyes and a long ruby red sundress, smiled down at her, white teeth shining as the sun caught them, "Nearly Cream, just a little further."It was an incredibly hot day. The sticky sun beamed down on the two females as they walked along the hot pavements, trying their hardest to keep their feet from making contact with them. Wearing only sandals, the girls had fun trying to avoid walking on the grass. Cream occasionally skipped on merrily ahead, throwing short smiles back at Amy, to which Amy would reply with a wave. Summer was here, and needless to s
AmyxBlaze: EmberI looked down into her arms at the small baby hybrid lying there, shaking with each and every breath. She certainly was adorable, with eyes as bright as the shining sun, and fur as pink as angel delight. The child's eyes lowered once more and closed, and at the same time she clenched her tiny fists.The baby's cheeks were puffed out, in a light lilac colour, the same colour as her larger-than-standard-hedgehog-sized ears. Three tiny bangs stuck out of the child's forehead, barely noticeable at first to me. Her muzzle was a filthy grey, with occasional red stains of blood resting not only there, but all over her body. Three feathers appeared to be already growing out of the newborn's head, like a ponytail, mixed lilac and pink.She was a true sight to behold.I looked up to see my partner staring at the baby with wide eyes, almost not believing the sight before her was real. A smile crossed my face again. It had been the hardest thing I had ever had to go through, but it was all worth i
AmyxMina: TruthSilently sliding along his hut, she allowed her eyes to wander upwards, curious, almost as if she were waiting for something to appear out of nowhere. She edged closer to the window, her arms outstretched, ducking as low as she could manage. She didn't know what quite possessed her to do this, other than that irritable urge in the pit of her stomach, telling her there was something good about tonight.She rose up on tiptoe, now directly to the side of the hut's window, allowing her green eyes to scan the inside. It looked like any other hut the Freedom Fighters would house themselves in; cosy, small in size, yet with a homely feel to it that nothing else could offer. The corners of her mouth curved upwards as she tried to seek him out within the room. Finally she managed to spot him sprawled out on a somewhat messy bed, his hand pressed against his cheek and his eyes blurred over as if he were in a day-dream, which, she reminded herself, he probably was.He was perfection at its finest

ShadAmy Parody"SONIC!"The excited yell of Amy Rose echoed through the air, and could probably be heard from all over the world. It was just as was suspected. Amy bounded out of nowhere and latched herself onto an unsuspecting Sonic the Hedgehog, who went from laidback to extremely angry in the space of a second."GET OFF OF ME!" he screamed in anger, without thinking. Yet again, Sonic was famed for his stupidity.Amy let go of him, her eyes welling up with tears, "B-but Sonic…""WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?" he shouted loudly, his eyes almost popping out of his eye sockets. Nobody, not even himself, cared about how out-of-character he appeared to be, "DO US ALL A FAVOUR! CURL UP AND DIE!"At that, Sonic the Jerk ran off, leaving Amy to collapse on the pavement and cry to herself. Typically, the weather decided to rain, and Amy sobbed harder and harder. Her dress was getting dirty. It was strange; whenever Sonic had turne
CruiseSonic settled himself beneath the bell with the initials N.T on it; his arms were folded in disgust, remembering the events of earlier that day. He had not liked the idea of going on a cruise at all. It had all been Chris' father's idea for them to go on a break. Yes, granted, the blue hedgehog would have gladly appreciated taking a break from fighting Eggman, but anything associated with the word 'water' disgusted him so deeply that it was enough to make him throw up. However, everyone else thought that the idea was great and eagerly said they would go. Now the blue hedgehog deeply wished that he had run off before the others had woken up.He knew it would be terrible. As soon as he arrived, every inch of freedom that he had once felt on land vanished in an instant, replaced by the feeling of being trapped. Needless to say, the freedom-loving hero hated it instantly. He ran about as much as he could, trying to shake off the trapped feeling, but it simply would not go.He saw the perfe
sonic couples 1As she sat there, gazing across the nights sky, the wind blew past her, making the grass and flowers sway. She listened gently to the birds in the trees, they were slightly quailing. She closed her eyes and listened harder. Listening to the slightest of sounds.He started to approach her, quietly, delicately, tiptoeing across the grass, which was lightly being pushed down by the wind. She could hear him but pretended not to notice his presence. He sat, silently, down next to her. Allowing the wind to pass by his 2 tails. Waiting peacefully for her to notice him.They sat there for a while, alone, both listening carefully to their surroundings. As if waiting for something to happen, something new, something different.A blue blur dashed toward them, destroying their peacefulness, silence and time together. The blue blur came to a halt, directly in front of them."Oh! I see you got a new girl friend huh tails?" Sonic teased, as he sat down on the grass beside them. "am I distu
Sonamy- Chapter 2A few hours passed, Sonic never leaving the waiting room. His ears were low the whole time, as well as his tail. The teen hedgehog looked at the clock every few minutes, the constant ticking noise filling the room. The other people and patients left already, leaving Sonic to be by himself. As he watched the second hand move, he felt the knot of guilt and worry tighten in his stomach a little bit with each tick. His ears perked as he heard a door open and looked up to see a doctor, holding a clip board walk in. He was the generic man, brown hair, blue eyes and a large, white coat."Are you the one that came in with the.. Mobians?" He asked as he looked the violet hedgehog up and down. It was obvious that the people weren't used to the fuzzy race. Sonic nodded as he looked at the man, his worry and fear seeping through his his purple contacts. "Is the girl alright?" He asked quickly, biting his lip. He saw a smile curl onto the doctors' lips and he gave a slight nod. "Yes, She's alright.

Sonic's love in prison pt 1It was a fine summer day. Sonic the hedgehog was doing his usual runs.Sonic: Look at this day. Its so great. Look at the birds in the treesSonic then noticed he was going pretty fast.Sonic: AAAAAHHHH. I can't stop. Somebody help.Sonic was going so fast he was too hard for anyone to see. Sonic ran for a long timeSonic: I got to stop. I got to stop.Sonic then noticed he was going slower and slower. Finally he stoppedSonic: Woo. That really tired me out.Sonic then saw Amy who was in a police suit but the way she was dressed made her look beautiful. Sonic gazed at her. She was dressed with a red belly shirt, long socks, red shorts, and she had a blue police coat and hat.Sonic: Gee. I think I better go home nowAmy then saw Sonic and cuffed him.Sonic: Amy what are you doing?Amy: Sonic, you're under arrest for broken the limit of speedSonic's thoughts: Wait.

Shadow and Amy Eps.1" No longer in Love"Amy,15 Shadow,18 " GET THAT GIRL!" Eggman commanded to the robots. Amy had just escape from Eggman and was running on the huge EGG Oblivion. The dumb orange robots were after her and were close in her track. " Ahh!" Amy shrieked from losing her balance from all the running. The robots were closing on her, so she took out her hammer and threw it at them like a boomerang. It flew at the robots knocking off each of it's heads. Amy then ran into a different section of the ship. She closed its door and sat on the tiled ground. " Phew! For a minute there I thought those robots would've got me." Amy sighed with relief. Just to think it was over, Amy heard giant stomps on the floor. The ground shook and Amy turned around to see a giant red robot. "Tell me this isnt true!" she said to herself. Amy took out her hammer and got ready to fight. The robot char
Tails' ValentineIt was another quiet evening in FanFictoria, and love was in the air. Young couples were going out to dinner, taking moonlit strolls, and dancing beneath the stars as if they were in a ballroom. Yes, the feeling of St. Valentine's Day was definately sinking in, and everyone else could feel it. ...Well, almost everyone.That same night, a young fox was sitting on the riverside. He had golden orange fur, white on his muzzle and belly, blue eyes, and wore white gloves as well as white and red shoes. He was none other than Miles "Tails" Prower, a best friend of Sonic the Hedgehog. He sat on the bank of the river as he sighed and took a pebble and pitched it across the water. You see, Tails was a lonely little guy with nobody to really call his love. And all his best friends, they had lovers; Sonic had Amy, Knuckles had Tikal, Shadow had Rouge...everyone, except for him, seemed to have a girlfriend. And...well, it made him feel left out. Poor Tails looked sadly to the moon up in the clear b
Now's Not the Time - JetWaveIt was another regular night at the bar, and everyone was relaxing, including the green hawk. He sat, amused, as he watched an angry grey albatross bang his fists on the counter of the bar, arguing with the bartender. Heh... Storm was so predictable, it was embarrassing.The hawks eyes swept around the room, and finally latched onto a purple swallow walking past him. She was so clumsy, she could barely walk in a straight line and was practically tripping over her own two feet. Jet merely shook his head, and continued to watch her, when suddenly, he remembered something. Jumping up from his chair, he made his way towards her and finally grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her back towards the table.Heya! the purple swallow responded giddily. Her voice was slurred due to the amount of alcohol she had consumed. What is UP, Boss? She laughed at her own imitation of the grey albatross.Jet simply raised an eyebrow at this behaviour.

Low and behold, Knuckles was chasing after her.Oh, Come on Knucky, Cant I borrow it just for a little while? Rouge asked in her usual flirty way. it would look so wonderful in my jewellery box. She flew upwards out of Knuckles reach. She stared down at him. Pretty please? Knuckles just glared at her. He came to a halt directly under Rouge and the enormous rock she was struggling to hold up.He then started jumping up and down, like a yo-yo, trying to catch her and the emerald. Rouge was fairly amused by this. She couldnt help but want to fly down next to him and hug the gullible echidna she had always loved. She stopped and pondered about how Knuckles would react. She wondered what it felt like to have his arms wrap around her. Rouge wanted to know if he felt the same way, she wanted to feel his tender lips touch hers.Knuckles shouting
AmyxCosmo: Amy and I"Let's keep moving!" Amy called out towards Cream and I, a look of determination set on her face. I had to admit I felt a bit sorry for Cream, who set the distance between Amy and I. Her head was barely visible amongst the long grass. I myself only just managed to peep over it, my blue eyes narrowed as the grass ends tickled my face.I suppose people are wondering what this is all about. If it hadn't been for that fierce-looking Meterex there would be no story to tell, but it's safe to say I don't really mind recounting what happened.We've been on the Blue Typhoon for days now, possibly stretching to weeks. It had been about a month since we had started looking for the Chaos Emeralds in outer space, where Sonic had scattered them onto various planets. There had been no trace of an emerald, fake or real and needless to say, it was incredibly frustrating, especially for me.Most of our days were spent in the control room, where we'd keep our eyes peeled for any signs of an emerald.

Formative Assessment:
Has anyone ever had a dream about a wild thing?
What did your wild thing look like? Use describing words so everyone can have a mental image of your wild thing.
Instructional Strategies or Activities:
Students use a character from the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, to create their own "wild thing" and learn about adjectives by describing their creature.
1. The teacher will read to the class Where the Wild Things Are. In this story Max has dreams/nightmares about wild things. He learns to like the wild things and has great adventures with them.
2. Discuss the wild things in the story. Has anyone ever had a dream with a wild thing? What did it look like? Tell students they are going to create their own wild thing using pieces of pictures and animals from magazines.
3. Hand out magazines and allow students time to search, cut out, and piece together a wild thing of their own.
4. Students will now talk about their wild thing. Allow a few students to share their wild things with the class. While they are telling about their wild things, generate a list on the board of describing words. Discuss with the class that these words are called adjectives and they describe the wild thing to someone who has never seen it before.
5. Students will now generate a list of adjectives that describes their animal.
6. Share the composed list with the entire class on chart paper. This chart paper can be displayed in the classroom as a reference when talking about describing words.
Extension: Students could take their list of adjectives and create a describing paragraph about their wild thing. Students could create their own adventures with their wild thing in a fictional story.
Summative Assessment: Students will be assessed from their list of adjectives.
4 points – Outstanding
8 or more very descriptive words about the wild thing
3 points - Proficient
5-7 descriptive words are used about the wild thing
2 points – Emergent
2-4 descriptive words are used about the wild thing
1 point – Attempted
1 descriptive word is used about the wild thing
0 points – No attempt

Been gearing the project since 2005, Paramount Pictures finally lands the choice to George C. Wolfe. The Emmy nominated director is set to direct "Blood on the Leaves".
Wolfe will work with Jamie Foxx who acts as the main actor as well as the producer of this movie. The studio is still on the hunt for second male lead that will accompany Foxx.
Wolfe is mostly known for his work in successful HBO's TV series "Lackawanna Blues". He is also working in wide-screen with Richard Gere and Diane Lane in drama "Nights in Rodanthe".
"Blood on the Leaves" will be based on Jeffrey Stetson's 2004 novel that tells on racial issues circling a district attorney during Civil Rights movement.

New Delhi promised to build hundreds of public toilets for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Only 9 were built, and none of them are functioning. This short report from Al Jazeera's Sohail Rahman highlights the fact that over 50 per cent of Indians have no access to clean toilets. It focuses on the lack of facilities in India's growing cities and in schools. The report features rural development minister Jairam Ramesh, the inevitable Bindeshwar Pathak of Sulabh International and UNICEF India's Suzanne Coates.

More reviews by canarydiamond14
This did not work on me at all. It looked great for the first few days, and then I had an awful breakout. My skin does not normally break out beyond a few small blemishes, but this was a full-on breakout.
I had to chuck it, and I went back to Clinique.
my friend gave me this foundation because it was too dark for her. it was in the shade Neutral and fit me perfectly for summer. it has really light coverage. it didnt cover up my acne at all. When i would go in the sun it would slide right off, even with primer under it. definatley wouldnt reccomend this.
More reviews by guitarheroine91
Honestly this was a huge waste of around $15 CAD. I should have researched the brand or read the reviews, because this made every flake or imperfection on my face stand out horribly. I have dry-combo skin. But I even used it on my friend who has combo-oily skin, complete opposite side of the spectrum, and this looked bad on her too. It turned into an oil slick within minutes and was sliding all over her face. Horrible and I really wish I could get a refund.
I have the most oily T zone ever, so I have to be careful with the products I buy, when I bought this I realized it gives me the same I finish look as my physicians formula foundation, it makes my skin look so bright and beautiful I love the end result of it, but because of my oily skin I do require a finishing powdered other thank that I love it...and I love that it comes in a pump
I really like this foundation a lot, especially since wintertime makes my beloved Revlon Colorstay Whipped a little too heavy. This is definitely a lighter-coverage foundation, more like a tinted moisturizer. I think it leaves a lovely dewy finish.
Also, I totally love the pump. I am willing to put up with the heavy glass bottle anyday just to have a nice sanitary pump dispenser.
I think I bought the second-lightest color, which is a good match. And it was on sale at my dead little CVS, which may not necessarily mean discontinuation. Sometimes their stock just gets old and I swoop in.
This is a light coverage foundation,more like a TM really.It will even out skin tone ,but don't expect much in the way of coverage It has a soft luminous finish that adds a healthy glow..I set it with powder as it is can be a little shiny without it. My skin is combination.I have this in 030 naked and it's a perfect match for NW 15-20. This has excellent broad spectrum sun protection and would make an ideal light summer makeup.It's fragrance free and the price is right. Well worth a try if you don't have much to cover.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Ok so I have reeeeeeaaaaally sensitive combination oily skin.this foundation did cover all my trouble spots scars redness and dicolored patches.however it made my skin really oily and irritated my eyes by the 3rd day.the packaging is Awsome great pump and product dispense but just not a good foundation for me
There are six shades, and I have Naked (030), a shade in the middle of the selection. I apply the foundation with a sponge. It blends easily and provides very light to light coverage. Unfortunately, it seems to make my dry skin look and feel more dry after it's been on a few hours so I no longer use it. The foundation comes in a sanitary pump dispenser.
I am writing this review through tears. Last night I bought this foundation on clearance at target for less than four dollars. I've been on the hunt for a new foundation and anytime I see something my color this cheap I figure I might as well go for it. I also was excited that it was Almay since supposedly it's good for sensitive skin right? Um not so much.
I just put this on after putting on my moisturizer and letting that sit for awhile first. I started blending this in and noticed instantly that it made my non oily face look greasy. I also noticed that it covered nothing. I don't need super heavy coverage but what's the point of wearing foundation if it does nothing? I knew that this stuff was not going to work for me and thought maybe I'd just see if I could build it up to get better coverage instead of taking it off and starting over. Well right about then my eyes starting burning and watering terribly. I actually had to have one of my kids get my makeup wipes for me because my eyes were burning and watering so badly I couldn't see out of them. I wiped the makeup off and hear I sit eyes still stinging and watering.
I have NEVER had a foundation do this to my eyes. I put it on normally it's not like I rubbed it on my eyeballs or anything! I didn't do anything different then I do every day so it has to be the makeup. I always wear the moisturizer first that I put on so I know it wasn't that. I do tend to get watery eyes pretty often but only when I do my eye makeup and never do my eyes burn.
I will be taking this back to Target for sure. Thank god I bought it from a place that will allow me to return it. Normally I'd keep a foundation that was less than four dollars and make it work but there is just no way with this stuff. Now I'm stuck needing to go out and my eyes are red and I look crazy! Thanks Almay.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is an ok foundation I guess. It could be better, it could be worse. I wanted to like it but there's just something off about it.
The worst thing about it is that it clings to dry patches that I wasn't even aware of. My skin is usually semi oily, so the fact that I had dry patches and it's not even winter was odd. The foundation blends in pretty nicely other than that.
The wear time is nothing special. Without a skin primer it doesn't last for more than 4 hours I'd say. And it is not sweat proof in any way shape or form. It starts to settle into lines maybe an hour after you first apply so I had to resmooth it.
I don't have much else to say about it. It's so middle of the road. I've had worse, and definitely had better. Meh. Would not buy again.
UPDATE 10/15/2013: I tried mixing this with Revlon Color Stay (the original not the whipped) and it works a LOT better. Before mixing these two foundations I disliked both of them. The almay one for the reasons stated in the first part of my review, and the color stay because it was thick, fake looking, hard to blend. I liked it at first, but started to hate it when I began noticing how fake it looked.
But, I've found that mixing these two, makes them both wearable. The almay sheers the color stay out, and the color stay increases the staying power of the almay. I doubt I'll repurchase either of these when they run out, but at least I can make them work for me until then.

Salt Marsh Monitoring to Reveal Changes in Fish and Vegetation at Sagamore Hill
On August 8th, a biological research group from the Northeast Coastal & Barrier Network, based out of the University of Rhode Island, came to Sagamore Hill National Historic Site to continue a regional salt marsh monitoring project.
The group, which came to Sagamore Hill in 2009 to collect their first data set, is composed of National Park Service employees specializing in biology. The goal of the project is to monitor changes in the fish and vegetation community over time. This research is being conducted at several other coastal National Park sites in addition to Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, including Fire Island National Seashore, Assateague Island National Seashore, Colonial National Historical Park and Sandy Hook, a unit of Gateway National Recreation Area.
In 2009 the biologists used GPS and GIS technology to separate the Salt Marsh at Sagamore Hill into different quadrants. In each quadrant, the group identifies which species of vegetation are present and estimates the percent cover of each species. They also identify which nekton species are present and record their measurements. Nektons, typically larger than plankton, are actively swimming aquatic organisms.
Research is conducted bi-annually, once at the beginning of the summer and once at the end of the summer. Each year the group produces an annual report of their findings. They soon hope to produce a report that will draw conclusions from comparing data from different years. For more information about the project, visit: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/units/ncbn/vs/saltnekton.aspx

Back in August of '99 Buford O'Neal Furrow Jr., whose name I will endeavor to not mock... Okay, I lied. Buford? Seriously? The fuck names their child Buford? I mean besides inbred, bucktoothed hillbillies in the Appalachians? Buford?
Anyway, back in '99 Buford shot up a Jewish daycare center in Granada Hills. He was, surprise! a white supremacist. Injured three kids, a receptionist and murdered a Filipino postman because he was, you know, Filipino. Sure, they eat some fucked up stuff, but that's no reason to shoot a guy.
So, anyway, Buford gets two consecutive life sentences and an extra 110 years tacked on for, I dunno, having a fucked up hillbilly name? Being a brain-dead asshole? Shooting kids? The possibilities are endless.
Well, ten years have gone by and Buford has made some changes.
Seems he's sorry. You don't say?
"I feel a life based on hate is no life at all."I don't know about that. I mean, I hate a lot of people. Folks who cut me off in traffic. Those guys at the restaurant down the street who always get my order wrong. G. Gordon Liddy. Seems to work for me.
Of course, I'm not shooting anyone over it. Though Liddy could use a bullet as far as I'm concerned.
"About 5 years ago I threw away my racist books, literature, etc., and took up a new leaf," Furrow wrote. "I now publicly renounce all bias toward anyone based on race, creed, color, sexual orientation, etc., and am a much happier person."Well, that's great. So happy for you. There's only one problem.
It's bullshit.
I'm sorry, but you spend the entirety of your life chanting the white supremacist mantra and ten years in the cooler throws that all down the crapper? I don't buy it. Maybe there's no angle here. It's not like he's up for parole or anything. Maybe he's just a moron.
Okay, he's probably just a moron.
Boo-fuckin'-hoo. Oh, he's sooo sorry. I'm sure Mr. Ileto's family are tremendously relieved to hear that. And those kids that they had to pull the bullets out of, like Alan Stepakoff?
"There are three points I'd like to make," Stepakoff said. "One is, this doesn't change what he did. The second point is we are glad he has renounced his hateful beliefs. The third point is I'm not fully convinced of his sincerity."How very diplomatic of you, young Mr. Stepakoff.
You're a better man than I'll ever be.
