total prep
Smoked paprika is now available in most supermarkets and a small amount lends this simple dish an intriguing depth of flavor. Serve with buttered rice and steamed green beans.
- Cook almonds in oil with paprika in an 8-inch skillet, over medium heat, stirring often, until toasted, about 5 minutes, then stir in olives and roasted red pepper and keep warm.
- Pat turkey dry and season with ½ tsp each salt and pepper.
- Heat an oiled ridged grill pan, preferably cast-iron over medium heat until hot, then grill cutlets, in batches if necessary, turning once, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer cutlets to a platter and spoon almond mixture on top.

At the heart of security is the question: What are the chances X will happen and what can be done to reduce those chances? This month's cover story, "District Offers Security Lessons," looks at how one school district is trying to reduce the threat of gang-related violence. While achieving that limited aim is no small feat, the country as a whole faces the far more difficult proposition of trying to reduce risk for the nation's 18 critical infrastructure sectors.
Just deciding how to assess the threats, vulnerabilities, and potential consequences within and among sectors to identify and prioritize the risks that need to be addressed is a daunting task. The extent to which progress is—or isn't—being made on that front is examined in this month's homeland security feature, "How Vulnerable Are We?". (subscription only)
The bottom line, however, is that, whether it's from the gut or derived using computational software, risk assessment is subjective. As Henry Willis of The RAND Corporation said at a congressional hearing on applying risk management to terrorism policy, "the notion of a cold, analytic, actuarial risk assessment is largely a myth. Risk is a social construct that incorporates value judgments about context and cause."
It makes sense that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) "is striving to implement an approach where major decisions about investments, budgets, grants, planning priorities, operational posture, and security priorities are risk informed," as explained in testimony by Robert Jamison of DHS. But we must not forget, as he noted, that "Managing risk depends on accepting uncertainty; managing risk does not mean eliminating it."
Nassim Nicholas Taleb goes further, driving home the point in his book Fooled By Randomness that "we live in a world where important events [like 9-11] are not predictable."
For that reason, a number of terrorism experts say that we should be giving at least equal weight to developing resilience—the ability to recover quickly from hits we didn't see coming. James Carafano of The Heritage Foundation told the congressional committee that "The current paradigm of 'protecting' infrastructure is unrealistic. We should shift our focus to that of resiliency."
Others don't view it as an either-or choice. They see resilience as a component of risk management.
Another part of the equation is the need to manage public expectations. "[T]he public's expectations and emotions can impact the effectiveness of response efforts," said Norman Rabkin of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), discussing comments from a forum of experts convened by GAO to discuss risk management.
In addition, he said the forum called for an honest discussion with the public to reach "a consensus on an acceptable level of risk" for the country to take on.The problem with that last point is it creates the illusion that we can fine tune our exposure. As Taleb might say: Don't be fooled.

The locals in the town where Chelsea Clinton is set to tie the knot today are so fired up about the attention ... they're literally renaming their food in honor of the former first family.
TMZ has learned The Rhinecliff -- a fancy restaurant in Rhinebeck, NY -- has rechristened their menu in honor of CC's big day ... with items such as Chelsea's Buttermilk Pancakes, the Hillary Hummus Sandwich, Secretary of Steak Frites and the Bill "True Blue" Burger.
The restaurant also renamed a few things after the Obama family ... even though they weren't invited to the wedding.
Some things may be hard to swallow.
Ugly yellow-toof is getting married. Yay?
Who gives a fat rats ass? Just please don't make any more liberal babies! They are ruining this country!
God Bless our Troops! Nothing else good to say.
The media wants us to care about this wedding, but we really don't.

But she is American royalty! *eye rolls*
I agree, who cares.
Dear Chelsea, you are an ugly pig and your white trash parents and you are the ultimate symbol of glutony. The five million dollars that your wedding cost, could feed a lot of people. You are disgusting and everyone knows your real father is Webster Hubbell, and your platic surgery can't hide that fact. When your marriage fails after 5 years, I hope you feel as stupid as you now look.
The local dry cleaner has free spot removal of all dresses from Monday through Friday...unless you want to keep it without having the spots removed...
Isn't it interesting to see that the Clintons are enjoying their life of luxury while Monica Lewinsky's life was ruined and has trouble even earning a living. People seem to have swept under the rug that whole ugly episode where the Clintons are concerned. I wouldn't feel too good knowing how they have acquired their riches which pays for this fancy wedding.
Clintons, please have a heart and invite cousin Macy Clinton(daughter of trouble-making uncle Roger) who's living on food stamps.
fyi. I thought Lewinsky was hired by a big media company in the UK after making hors d'oeuvres out of Bill's baby batter?
Both of Monica's parents were high-powered, jet-setting socialites in DC. The slut will be fine and loaded no matter what.
The only way I'd really be interested in this is if Monica showed up in the wedding with a sign that says: "Marry me, Bill"
I'd be on the floor laughing if that happened.
Damn, Chelsea is not only butt ugly but has some yellow ass teeth.
Oh they acquired a "SON"
Is he employed?
The groom's a banker. Same as his dad who went to jail for a $10 million fraud conviction.
# 15 Thank you for the info

Thanks to my lovely friend, Stéphie, I came across these brilliant eight new posters from the upcoming feature The Hunger Games; and don't they look AMAZING?!
All characters are so spot-on, it's almost creepy. I am getting more and more exited (:
Thanks to my lovely friend, Stéphie, I came across these brilliant eight new posters from the upcoming feature The Hunger Games; and don't they look AMAZING?!
All characters are so spot-on, it's almost creepy. I am getting more and more exited (:
The first trailer of Snow White & the Huntsman is out! And I must admit, I didn't know what to expect exactly, but it doesn't look that bad! It actually looks pretty good (:
And besides, we girls all like an excuse to watch Chris Hemsworth, not? (;
An awesome looking second trailer from Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows. I was already intrigued by the first trailer, but now my enthousiasm is peeking! Can't wait to go see it in the cinema's!
Such a gorgeous poster…
I watched Never Let Me Go not so long ago, and my god… that is such a sad yet beautiful movie… If you haven't seen it yet, please, do yourself a favour and rent it, borrow it, steal it… It's so worth it.
Some awesome looking stills from the upcoming feature, Tintin!
They surely know how to keep us interested! Another new still from the Hunger Games, this truly makes me eager for the first real teasers!
And again, another two new stills from The Hunger Games!
Is it just me, or does this start to look very promising?
Rory: I get to leave first!
Jess: No, wait! Stop!
Rory: No, you don't get to walk away!
Jess: Hold on!
Rory: My town! I leave!
Jess: I just wanna - where are you going?
Rory: None of your business!
Jess: We look like idiots!
Rory: I don't care!
Jess: Stop running!
Rory: Stop following!
Jess: Oh, come on!
Rory: Go away, I'm leaving!
Jess: Rory, stop!
Rory: Why?
Jess: Because I want to talk to you!
Rory: About what? What do you want to talk to me about?
Jess: Where did you learn to run like that?
Rory: You know, I have actually thought about this moment. A lot. What would Jess say to me if I ever saw him again? I mean, he just took off, no note, no call, nothing, how could he explain that? And then a year goes by. No word, nothing, so he couldn't possibly have a good excuse for that, right? I have imagined hundreds of different scenarios with a hundred different great last parting lines, and I have to tell you that I am actually very curious to see which way this is going to go.
Jess: Could we sit down?
Rory: No. You wanted to talk, so talk. What do you have to say to me?
Jess: I love you.
Two new stills from the upcoming feature The Hunger Games; featuring the three leads Katniss, Gale and Peeta (:
Looks great in my opinion, can't wait for more!
Your blog has now been signed by Tom Felton.
A sneak-peak at the dwarf-cast for the upcoming (I know to be) EPIC The Hobbit; An Unexpected Journey.
The official first movie poster for The Hunger Games! Looks fantastic!
Oh, and also a little visit to the IMDB page made me notice more casting; like Donald Sutherland will be playing President Snow (incredible casting!) and Lenny Kravitz as Cinna! Marvelous! I like.
A very stylish fan-made (I think?) wallpaper for The Hunger Games (:

…and the flash.
My entire life flashed before my eyes. I always thought it was a movie cliche but it actually happens. Nobody was in the house with me and I was in the bed sweating. My legs were aching and my arms were shivering even though I was burning hot. And I saw everything. The bathtub they used to wash me and my cousin in when we were babies. The times our hot water went out before school and we had to boil water. My grandma's house. Watching Power Rangers during our summer vacations. Wanting to be a pro wrestler at one point because I loved Stone Cold, Sting, The Rock, Sabu and a bunch of other random pro wrestlers. Elementary school. High school. Being bullied in both. Every woman I ever kissed. My music and every show we've ever done. My friends and associates. My first job. My internships. My current job. My mother. My sister.
After the flash was over, I couldn't tell if my life was real or if my life was a long dream that was a layover while God decided if I was going to heaven or not. Then I thought what I was experiencing was me waking up from this dream. And I let it go. I started getting text messages on my phone, I can't remember about what. The only words I could type was,
"I need help."
"I need help."
I had to say it twice. Then I called my sister to tell her I couldn't breathe anymore. My breaths were short, my eyes were drying out, and my vision was blurry. Almost like a white blur. My sister hung up and I called the ambulance. By the time she confirmed that the ambulance was on the way, I was clinging on to the kitchen sink with my mouth damn near on the faucet. Water splashed all over the phone and my face and my shirt. Somehow, I managed to unlock the front door and the paramedics carried me outside. They shoved an oxygen tube in each nostril and told me my heart was around 200. I asked,
"What's the normal heart rate?"
"Around 60."
In the ER room, I couldn't really see and I lost almost all of the strength in my arms and legs. Doctors asked me a million questions when I was alone and I couldn't stop looking at this cross that was hanging over the door. The following morning I was walking again. The following week, Blue Cross Blue Shield told me my hospital bill was for $7,000 for one night and that I'm required to pay $1,600. The following month, it was my birthday, which was last Friday. A surprise party was thrown for me at a condo downtown. My cousin and I were smoking on the balcony after everybody left and talking about how we're growing and how everything is changing. How time keeps going whether you choose to sit still and waste it or keep moving along with it. And he told me out of our relatives, he relates to me the most. I didn't respond to that specifically. Just kept staring at the lights and the traffic below us.
No more blur.
…and the timeline.
I'm dating somebody and this is the first time in a while that I'm not talking to multiple women simultaneoulsy. Usually, one gets on my nerves so I go to the next one. Other times, none of them bother me and I go with whoever's energy I'd wanna feel that day. This time, all of my energy is focused one person. But it doesn't feel abnormal to me.
What hasn't changed is that I'm not uppity about talking about this relationship to everybody. When I do though, I've noticed a reocurring theme. I was at this radio station a few weeks ago sitting in the corner while my friend was running her show. We talked about work mostly but the conversation shifted and I ended up showing her a picture of who I'm seeing:
"Awwwwwwwww she's cute. When are y'all getting married?"
"I wish people would stop joking like that."
"I'm not joking."
There was this awkward silence for a few seconds but I wiggled my way out of that topic. Then it happened again last week with another friend:
"Soooooooo can you see yourself marrying her? What are her pros? The cons? Where does she work? What's her money looking like? I mean there's no point in dating if you don't see marriage in the long run, right?"
I'm at the age where single people get paranoid about being single and not having any kids yet. I'm assuming that those factors are attached to the stigma of being lonely after you're thirty. Lonely and unfulfilled. I don't feel any pressure to do either one yet but it's interesting seeing how many people believe in this unspoken timeline of high school, college, 9 to 5, marriage, kids, retirement, and death. And what's even more interesting to me, is how some find complete happiness in just those things and nothing else. And the most interesting aspect, is how those that fit into that box can make you feel left out if you aren't in that same category with them. I was listening to this TED talk podcast months ago and this woman described marriage as musical chairs. Everyone is circling the chairs while the music is playing but when the music cuts off, people race to the open seat. The married people are already sitting down by the time they hit a certain age. The single people are the ones still walking and looking for an available seat. But don't we have a choice on if we want to play that game or not? What about the people that play this game and think homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to play? What if I don't like the music? What if I think we should all have player names so everybody is more identifiable? What if I want my name to be Thotropolis?
I need answers.
…and noodles.
About five months ago, I was reading an interview with Danny Brown on some fashion website and he was talking about what influenced his attire. The sentence that stuck out to me was, "I dress for who I want to attract." And I never done that. Whoever I attracted, I attracted and we would work out our differences and enjoy our similarities. Subconsciously though, I began to do the same thing. Last year I was wearing this green and orange plaid peacoat because i was really into colors at the time. This winter, I wore mostly black. Black fitted coat that sat at my waist. Steve Madden shoes for work, which was new considering that I wore my Clarks prior to that, and fitted dress pants. Fitted jeans and higher quality button ups when I was going out. Without noticing, I started caring about how people viewed me and I desperately wanted to be recognized as a man.
It worked. Until I started having problems at my job. On one random Wednesday, my boss gave me an assignment that was due in an hour and I couldn't get it done. Then she started scheduling one on one meetings with me to talk about my performance and my workload. Beginning from January 2014, each week got worse and worse. Stress was giving me these headaches where the pain would be on both sides of my head and in the front as opposed to the normal headaches in the back of my head. My hair was disappearing fast. I got fat in the face. My mother noticed my spirits were down and cornered me into a conversation one Sunday. Another conversation I initiated with my mentor after work one other day. They both said I lost my confidence and it's something I never experienced up until that point. Sometime in February, my boss accused me of dropping the ball with another big situation. She yelled and cussed at me this time. A couple days later, I scheduled a one on one with her and told her she was wrong for speaking to me that way whether i dropped the ball or not, even though I really didn't. She didn't want to take responsibility and didn't apologize so we agreed to disagree. But I felt like a giant because I knew in my heart that I wasn't wrong and i had the evidence to back it up. My confidence was back but I was still wearing mostly black.
A few weeks after that, I went to the mall to pick up some dress shirts and I noticed a lot of white women flirting with me. More than usual. I was confused because they never give me any kind of attention. Plus, my fascination with being romantically involved with white women died a couple years ago (for no real reason). Here and there since that month, it kept happening and it's still happening more frequently than I'm used to. Like yesterday. I went to Noodles and Company and the manager handed me my food with the biggest smile and that 'damn, where you come from?' eye contact. It's a fucking mystery to me. However, I do remember telling my little cousins years ago when dealing with women, it's never about what you're wearing. It's all about your confidence. Believing in yourself and believing that nobody is better for the person you want to go after. And making sure that person knows that too.
…and hooks.
There's this blog I follow that posts nothing but women with curves. And it's one particular woman that's posted all the time with thick legs, big booty, and the smallest waist you'll probably see. It's odd because it's the tiniest part of her body and I'm sure this is due to her wearing a corset, which she sells on Instagram. It's nothing that bothers me either way but it is noticeable.
I won't say who specifically, in case she happens to read this, but a woman that I'm close to came to me the other day and asked me to help her tie a corset around her torso. We attached the first of probably 20 hooks and she was struggling to breathe. She had to take deep breaths for every hook and it was painful to listen to since she doesn't have a flat stomach. It bothered me, trying to squeeze this contraption around her. And if she was planning on wearing it all day or all week or all month, it'll be torture. I wanted to say, "Whoever you're doing this for, they don't deserve you." Instead we tried to attach this Jigsaw puzzle to her body for 15 minutes. But the most torture that we, men, put ourselves through for women is washing our ass. And sometimes we don't even do that. For me specifically, in the past few years I dated a woman with an overbite, a woman with a very big nose, a barely chubby woman who thought she was obese, a skinny woman who thought she was fat, and I never considered any of these things a problem when I was with them. Honestly, I think we're all missing the bigger picture when it comes to attracting the opposite sex. It's not about appearance or weight or even personality. It's about hygiene. And if you ever learn anything from reading my posts, I hope you learn to always wash your ass. No days off. Pretty please.
With sugar on top.
I'd say yes but as far as when, that depends on future jobs, his marriage, family issues, etc. Some of that is partially why I disappeared in 2013.
…and the bathtub.
I was at a mexican restaurant last month paying for my food at the register. It's a small place with brick interior walls and tiny wooden tables. There's only one cook, a man, and two waitresses, two women. All three of them rotate with working the register and they speak english just good enough for you to understand them. I gave one of the women my debit card, which has my full name on it including the "II" after my last name. She said, "Ohhh you're a second? That's so nice. Are you going to name your son the third?" "Yeah probably." I laughed a little bit because she seemed like one of those people that love kids. I'm not one of those people. I like kids and kids love me but I don't like the idea of having my own. Not yet.
Two of my male cousins are having babies. One is having twins, a boy and a girl, and the other is having a boy. The boy's name will be Blake Daniel Sanders. Blake is expected to be born this week and I honestly won't believe that he exists until I hold him for the first time. It's the first baby in our family that I'll consider my nephew because me and his father have been around each other so much. You know that cousin that you're forced to take a bath with when you're a baby? And some jackass ends up taking a picture of you two and showing them to you your whole life to remind you of it? Yeah, he's that cousin. I'm low key more freaked out than anybody. I keep picturing that random call I'll get while I'm work that the mother is in labor. The lobby where they make you wait and how much pain she'll be in. Looking at him for the first time and experiencing his hand gripping one of my fingers. And how much he'll probably look like my cousin in that picture of us in that bathtub. The older you get, the more you see your friends and family members around your age have babies and get married and secure better jobs and progress and grow and evolve. There are people that actually take steps back the older they get but you never notice them really. You want to keep up with the ones you consider successful. Or at least have something going on. So some days you'll feel like you're in a rut. Other days are little different.
You'll just be happy to not have any children.
Boy, would I love to throw some hot grease on you.
…and the strangers.
Kaytranada performed in Chicago at The Mid, a medium sized club downtown, and I found a nice spot in the crowd where I could see him and enjoy my beer. It was close to the VIP section but close enough to the bar in case I needed a refill. Midway through the second song, a mentally handicapped man wearing blue jeans and a leather jacket walked up to me and shook my hand. Three white kids were standing a little to my left and I noticed them laughing. Almost cheering him on, I thought. I mouthed the words, "Are y'all together?" Because they were laughing as if this man was their friend. But as they got closer, I realized they were laughing at him. "Dude, that guy has been fucking with people since we got here! Dancing and grabbing on our clothes and shit." The man wasn't bothering me and I ain't with laughing at handicapped people so I kinda eased my way away from them.
Soon after, an Israeli man, who looked around my age, stood next to me and said, "Hey man, who is this performing?" "It's Kaytranada." We somehow started talking about neighborhoods in north Chicago and how expensive it is to live downtown. The conversation wasn't long though because his whole point of talking to me was to sell me molly. But before I could even answer, an asian girl that was dancing by herself in front of us, spun around, leaped into the air, and landed on his foot. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Your foot is important!" There's a video on my phone of Kaytranada's set and you can hear this whole exchange. How she's apologetic but drunk. He's nonchalant and flirtacious. She starts giggling and flirts back. That awkward moment when they run out of things to say for a quick second and they try to decide if they want to take things further. You can't see them but the microphone recorded everything loud and clear. He switched his focus to her and left me alone. A few minutes later, as I'm trying to send this video to my friend, I noticed a girl with big, curly light brown hair stand next to me. She looked like a college freshman if I had to guess. Everybody that stood next to me that night said something. This girl didn't. In fact, she waited for about 60 seconds and because I didn't jump down her throat with pickup lines, she went into the crowd and found somebody to dance with. I finished my beers and left after he was done spinning but I made the mistake of not going to the bathroom first. Not even halfway home, I'm stomping on the floor of my car and bouncing my leg up and down uncontrollably. I'm also on the phone as I'm driving. My friend says, "Pull over and piss on the side of the road." But I didn't want to get harassed by police that night if they happened to drive by. "Do you have a water bottle? Use that." So I pulled over on the expressway and found an empty water bottle in my backseat. I decided sometime last year that if I write a book, it wouldn't be a memoir or a non-fiction novel. It would be a collection of short stories, similar to how I run this blog. If I ever write that book, I'll explain what happened exactly. But anyway, there's a quote floating around that says you don't really know how intoxicated you are until you try to urinate.
I couldn't agree more.

…and second chances.
The last full weekend I spent with her wasn't that great. Something was telling me I should've been elsewhere but I forced myself to see her anyway and spend the weekend downtown. When I saw her in a black and white dress the first night, I gave her a halfway hug and I didn't want the hug to last too long. It wasn't her. It was me. But I didn't know why the urge to be away from her was so strong when we've been on the same page since we met. A lot of my interactions with her felt forced. I promise, it wasn't her. Maybe my mind was on work or my mother being sick still or music or the future or how much money I could've saved if we didn't spend it on a hotel or stressing about if she was truly interested in me or not. I don't know.
A month later she kissed somebody else. The night she did it I was making her a personal Christmas present. This happened the week of Thanksgiving, two days after I stood in the Black Friday line, twice, for the PS4. I wanted to end whatever we had going on between us. I didn't need to think about it. But my cousin reminded me of how happy I was when I first met her and how much we complimented each other. She said she never heard me be excited about anybody like that and she deserved a second chance. My other friend echoed the same thing. "You know…she could've just lied about it and not told you at all." She didn't cheat because we wasn't together. It was still the same feeling though. Like somebody stabbed me in the stomach with a knife and dragged it further and further down the more I thought about it and the more she described what happened. A sharp, twisting pain that I can't stand and that I feel anytime we talk about it. Before this, we was thinking about possibly planning a future together. But all I'm trying to do now is forgive her. It's hard because she's a free spirit. Free spirits are attractive and they're attracted to moments. And I have a fear I guess of being a moment. So that makes me a little detached on one hand. On the other hand, another part of me wants to cling on to her. Not to drag down her spirit but almost, with my actions, say, "Our spirits work well together. Fly next to mines for a while. I know I sound like an idiot and I know you like being spontaneous but believe in me. You won't regret it. Trust me." However, I can't tell her to trust me when I can't even trust her, right? I told her on the phone last night that I need to double check and triple check that I want to move forward with her. She didn't say anything. Just the occasional loud sigh into my ear. Then today I asked her a question regarding our future and she said "If I didn't think about the future, I wouldn't be here." Free spirits don't think about the future, do they? Maybe I was wrong about her. Maybe I don't even know her.
That could be our problem.
…and fading.
After I used the bathroom, I caught myself staring in the mirror longer than usual because I noticed that I lost another section of hair. It seems like it's starting to happen every single day now with stress being the main reason why it's happening at a faster pace. That and age I guess. I'm not balding. Not yet. It's more like my hair is fading away very slowly. First, the left corner of my hair started fading. And after years and months of remaining intact, the right side is doing the same thing.
Most of my friends that's older than me decided to run from fading and balding and just cut off their hair altogether. My head is too odd of a shape to do that so I'ma ride it out. It's really just me being sensitive about my hair loss but I accepted it was gon' happen already. Even though some days I obsess over it more than I should. When it truly gets bad, I'ma grow my beard out completely.
Or I might just do it early.
… and the window seat.
This Indian girl walked up to me, while I was looking out the window with my headphones on, asking if she could sit next to me on the bus. She resembled somebody I follow on here. That was my first thought before shaking my head to say yes and making sure she had enough room to sit down. I was listening to Bill Simmons' podcast and distracted by her perfume at the same time. If Jesus planted flowers in heaven, they would smell like her perfume. I'm sure of this.
I fell asleep then woke up when I felt something on my shoulder. It was her head. She jumped up and scooted to the edge of her seat. I fell asleep again. Then her head found her way back on my shoulder. This time, I woke up but I didn't move. And I waited her for to notice that she was doing it again. Like clockwork, she swung her head the opposite direction and went back to sleep. I wasn't sleepy anymore so this time I was wide awake. Her head fell on my shoulder again but now, more of her jaw and her cheek was touching me. She was getting closer and more comfortable.
What shocked me was that my crazy ass wanted her to rest on my shoulder. Because, 1, something told me she needed it, 2, she was pretty, and 3, she smelled like flowers. I was coming from Toronto so when the bus got to London, Ontario, she got off without either of us speaking. As she was getting her bag from underneath the bus, I got to see what she looked like from head to toe. Curly hair wrapped in a bun. No makeup. She was frowning. Arms crossed. Black dress shirt. Grey dress pants. Black flats.
She didn't look up at my window once.
…and wristbands.
My cousin dragged me to a Black Friday Walmart sale this past Thursday for a PS4. I wanted one but I didn't pre order it. I searched the internet and different stores for a week without any luck so it made me not care about it anymore. We had to stand in line for these wristbands first. Four people was in front of us. Five minutes into it, he disappeared and came back with two black beanbags. It was three women in charge of the line and one laughed and said "Whatever it takes!" A manager walked up to us so quick soon after though. "I'm sorry, you can't use those unless you plan on buying them." She took them away and we waited an hour.
This older woman put my wristband on. I told her, "Make it tight!" And of course, she didn't. I found some tape in the store and wrapped it over my wrist. Everybody was laughing. Heading back to my car, two managers stopped me and questioned where I got my wristband from. They said a bunch of bullshit to me and I slowly went from a playful mood to a defensive mindset. One carefully held up my wrist and I thought she was joking at first. "You trying to run a scam or something? We didn't start giving out wristbands yet. This says aisle 5 and aisle 5 is on the other side of the store. It's not even 4pm yet." It was 4:07pm. Aisle 5 was right next to us. And everybody that was in line with me told her they just gave me my wristband. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know it was 4 o'clock already!" I snatched my wrist back and on the way out I told my cousin, "Something gon' happen when we come back later. They gon' give me shit about the tape on this wristband. Watch." We went to eat at my other cousin's house and told everybody what happened. This prompted some of my relatives wanting to go with us to pick up the PS4s. The parking lot was packed this time but that was nothing compared to what we saw when we walked in. Shit was like Jumanji. In both the book and the movie, the warning message is, "Do not begin unless you intend to finish."
Same thing at this point.
…and the late night train.
I had this english class back when I was in community college a long time ago. Me and two of my friends used to sit all the way in the back and never said too much but I always used to get an A on every test and homework assignment because it used to be all essay questions. Plus, there was this girl that sat to the far right and she used to slouch in her chair so her boobs sat firmly on her desk. She did it on purpose and it was my perverted highlight of the day. About a month into the semester, my professor was reading a short story out loud in front of the class. I wasn't paying too much attention so this is the only thing I heard. "Blah blah blah. Something something something nigga." This man was white by the way.
My eyebrows raised up instantly. One of my friends, who served in the military, looked at me and whispered, "Did he just say what I think he said?" The professor continued reading. "Yada yada yada wham bam thank you ma'am nigga" My friend interrupted him and said "Excuse me but you using that word is very offensive to me and every black person in this class." The professor replied, "I'm not trying to offend anybody, I'm just reading the story." My friend shot back at him, "It doesn't matter if it's in the story. That doesn't mean you have to say it." Nobody said anything while they went back and forth. After about five minutes of them having this awkward exchange, my professor went back to reading. He didn't say nigga again but at this point, my friend was saying to me, "I'm about to walk outta this fucking class. I ain't letting nobody say the n word to my face like that. You walking out too right?" I looked at the professor sitting on one of the desks still reading and everybody staring at him like nothing just happened. At the time, I honestly wasn't offended but I didn't wanna leave my friend to fend for himself. It was one of those quick, this-can-alter-your-immediate-future decisions. My friend was 24 years old and extremely opinionated. At 19 years old, I wasn't as easy to offend but this kind of stuff did matter. So I looked at him and said "Fuck it." And we walked out. With every student's mouth on the floor for some reason. We met with the dean of the school twice that following week. By the weekend, I was at his apartment with one of his other friends and some girl that worked at the Walmart gas station close by. Drinking and freestyling all night. The girl and his homeboy disappeared for about twenty minutes in another room. My friend walked in there. Then right back out. He said to me, "We about to run a train on this bitch. You down?" You know those empty lots in certain neighborhoods where a house used to be? And sometimes those lots will have that random, neglected, struggling to survive bush nearby with the colorless leaves barely hanging on it? That's what this girl's weave reminded me of.
"Nah I'm good."
…and Native.
I was in the shower this morning thinking about Native and what it took to finish that project. When I was done recording all of the vocals, it took about two weeks before I could say it was done. My best friend heard it first. Then Malcolm. Then my manager at the time, who sent an email a day or two later saying "Congratulations on such a dope record." He had an idea to have this certain big name, music website to host the EP and they replied to us a week later saying they wouldn't do it. The owner of the website emailed my manager directly and he gave three reasons. One, "He has a lot of room for improvement." Two, "I don't like the mix of the songs." Three, "I know for a fact a couple of these beats are stolen." My skin began to wrinkle in the shower at this point.
Something told me it was more to this story so I scheduled a conference call the very next night and asked my manager what his reply was. It took about ten minutes to get an answer out of him but he basically apologized to the owner because he "wasn't aware of any of this." Then my project went from being "dope" to "needing improvement." There's a trust that should exist between the artist and the manager but whatever trust I had left went out the window because it turned into a fight for my music. And I felt alone in the fight with only Malcolm in my corner. I yelled at my manager on the phone for at least an hour. I always had a suspicion that he didn't believe in me but I never acted on it. I couldn't control what I was saying. "You don't say one thing to me, then hear somebody else's negative opinion, and now all of a sudden that's your opinion too." He didn't say too much on the phone. There's more details that I won't get into but the next day, I released the project without any help from him. What amazed me was how many people were mentioning me on Twitter. Letting me know they were listening to it, telling me their favorite songs, taking screenshots of the album cover to post on Instagram, DMing me just to show love. My contract with him expired in June and I haven't talked to him since. Be careful about who you let around your art. It'll make you scream and stress and lose your hair and randomly think about it almost a year later while you're in the shower and write about it on a blog that you update two times a year.
Happy Friday.

Cavaliers' Deng wins Citizenship Award
New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Cleveland Cavaliers forward Luol Deng has been named the recipient of the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award.
The award is presented annually by the Professional Basketball Writers Association and honors an NBA player or coach for outstanding service and dedication to the community.
Deng recently recorded a public service message for the EnoughProject.org, urging peace during a time of renewed conflict in his native South Sudan. In the video, he tells young people to make peace among those fighting, encourage others to forgive and build trust with people who fear each other.
The two-time All-Star created the Luol Deng Foundation, a global non-profit organization that uses basketball as a platform to give hope to those in Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. The work in Africa focuses on building outdoor basketball courts and delivering initiatives to bring together local communities.
"It's an honor to be recognized for any award, but this one is special because it represents who I am as a person and where I came from," said Deng in a statement released by the Cavaliers. "What I'm most proud of is that my family can look back after my career is over and realize that I was able to make a difference on and off the basketball court. That is something that tells the true story as to who I am as a person, someone who cares about his community and wants to improve the lives of others."
Other candidates for the award this season were Miami's Ray Allen, San Antonio's Matt Bonner, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, Toronto's Amir Johnson, Atlanta's Kyle Korver, Portland's Damian Lillard, Minnesota's Kevin Love, the Lakers' Steve Nash, Chicago's Joakim Noah and the Clippers' Chris Paul.
First presented in 1975 to Washington's Wes Unseld, the only other Cleveland players selected for the honor were Austin Carr in 1980 and Eric Snow in 2005.

There wasn't anything really wrong with the old bike apart from it appeared a little dated and it was more of an ugly duckling rather than a stunning swan. However, Honda have addressed that, given the CBF a new face, new clocks, lightened the frame and improved fuel economy. Great ergonomics, easy to ride, just enough power, relatively lightweight handling, ...

The Honda CB500 is a first big motorcycle you'll never want to sell. It's huge fun because it's so confidence-inspiring, meaning you can take it anywhere and it'll make you feel you can push your limits. Very competent: commuters and couriers love Honda CB500s for their reliability and all-round, top-notch performance. In all aspects, the Honda CB500's a winner.

Non-retro naked street-rod motorcycle was a brave marketing decision from Honda. Unfortunately the Honda CB1100 X-11's sales were slow and the plug was pulled quickly. Often thought of as an unfaried Honda CBR1100XX Super BlackBird – but it's not. The Honda CB1100 X-11 is indecently powerful, big, very well put together and slightly iffy in the corners.
998cc, 96.5bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 14
Honda CBF1000: Nice legs, shame about the boat race… The big Honda CBF1000 is one of the unsung heroes of modern motorcycling. Detuned Blade engine, fabulously easy handling and throttle response and great ergonomics make the Honda CBF1000 hooningly enjoyable, yet novice friendly and a great value all-rounder. It's just a shame the Honda CBF1000 looks so dull.

- Always satisfiedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/29/2014We have been to the White Chocolate Grill numerous times and always find it satisfying. The food is great and the service is excellent! Our favorite is the spinach dip appetizer. Ever time I go I try something different and am not disappointed!. I've had the chicken crepes which may be my favorite! The fish I've tried is always fresh and the taste is simple like I love. I've had the salad with the filet and it is also excellent. I've had wine which is great and also tried their martini selection. The atmosphere is excellent whether sitting at the bar or in a table or booth. It can be a romantic place or a place to go with a group of friends.Special Features:
- ConsistentSuzyqDined on 10/27/2014This is my favorite go to spot in Naperville. The food and service are always spot on. I would make a reservation or go early as it does fill up fast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/26/2014The food was great, Our waiter was very good and personal but....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fantasic food and servicelinda9760VIPDined on 10/25/2014Our Saturday night spot is consistently great - both food and service. It's good to know that what you order one week has the same high consistency the next week! Our server, Mark, was fantastic!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014Made reservations for 6:15 we got there 6:00 and they said our reservation was not until 6:45 and proceeded to seat others as they walked in finally I found your email and they gave us table but had waited almost 40 min:(Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cosmos at the bar were very goodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/25/2014The food was good, but not enough for the men. Had to ask for buns on the table. Wine did not come with the meal. My whole dinner was cool, but good. Waitress asked and I told her and she took it quickly. So others ate while I waited...not good. My dinner came the 2nd time and it was good, but cool again. Waitress gave reason why (sauce under and cucumbers on top made it cool). My friends broccoli was cold. Waitress brought another order. Waitress took my dinner off of the bill. But we would have all rather had a hot meal together with wine.Special Features:
- Disappointing dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/25/2014On the positive side, White Chocolate Grill has a pretty good gluten free menu, that my husband, who has celiac, can enjoy. Atmosphere is nice but really loud; something with the acoustics makes it difficult to hear people at your table. Service was really slow on this particular visit which is usually not the case. Meals were just "okay" and prices seemed to have gone up. Overall, disappointing to spend $150 for a table of four and not be satisfied with the experience.
- good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014The food was very good but We thought the portions a bit small for the price. The waiter seemed a bit rushed and distracted. My wife had to ask for a cocktail. That we did not like at all. The service was quick, the servers were very hospitable and friendly. All and all we would recommend the White Chocolate Grill to friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what it used to be.MattDined on 10/24/2014The food quality has finally degraded enough that I doubt I will be back. Portions are smaller, quality of meats reduced, even the pork was only Denny's quality. To end it, the pumpkin cheesecake was so runny in the middle you could have used a straw. The server should have Sean that prior to delivering it to the table. Moving on...
- Noise levelJjln148VIPDined on 10/24/2014The restaurant was tooooo noisy for any conversation.Special Features:
- Great Service and Gluten Free MenuDavidDined on 10/23/2014We were travelling through the Chicago area on our way back to Alberta and stopped for the night in Naperville. We'd never eaten at a White Chocolate Grill and decided to give it a try when we discovered it had a GF menu (my wife has celiac disease). We noted the GF requirement when we made the reservation on Open Table. When we arrived at 6:30 on a Thursday the restaurant was very busy but we only had a 2 minute wait before we were seated. On the way to the table I asked the hostess about the GF menu and she'd noted it on the reservation request and had it with her. From the time we were seated the staff were attentive and helpful in spite of how busy the restaurant was . The food was great, well prepared and hot.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/22/2014We had an additional 35 minute wait, despite having a reservation, so our initial impression was negative. Upon being seated, however, the manager immediately came over to apologize and promised to make things right. The rest of our visit was perfect. Service and food.....impeccable. We will be back!Special Features:
- I'll be backprimeribDined on 10/22/2014Excellent prime rib. Maybe best ever. Also excellent bacon blue cheese salad. Tho they delivered to wrong person. Waiter was mildly efficient but aloof not humble and scarce.Special Features:
- White Chocolate GrillJacquelineDined on 10/22/2014The bar was crowded and lively. The service was excellent, but the food was disappointing and overpriced. I ordered a blue cheese crusted filet prepared medium. The cooking level was perfect - pink with no blood. However, when I read "crusted" I expected it to be crusty. It was more like a steak with blue cheese soup poured over it... very soggy. My friend had the rib eye with balsamic and seemed to enjoy it. We shared a banana cream pie dessert which was just ok. I probably will not return to this restaurant. Also they do not take Discover card which I found somewhat surprising.Special Features:
- food was excellentemchiagoDined on 10/22/2014From the appetizer to the desserts the food was excellent. A bit noisy for our group that wanted to talk but that was my only vice of this place but everything else is excellent!Special Features:

- ExcellentChrisDined on 10/13/2014Good food. Attentive service...in fact I did not even notice they were there most of the time in a good way, i.e. they just kept things going. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend especially to talk with friends and colleagues.Special Features:
- Not impressedJodiDined on 10/13/2014I was looking for a romantic atmosphere for my Husbands Birthday dinner. Very loud a lot of traffic by our table. I was shocked no choice of bread on the table. We actually felt like a herd of cattle never asked me if my meal was ok. he just brought me a box. I wasn't pleased my salmon was very sweet and the candied carrots were way to sweet. He didn't even notice I only took two bites out of my dinner. on a positive note the appetizer was amazing and our dessert was one of the best cheese cakes I have ever had. I will go back because I believe everyone gets to have an off day. I mentioned above I wouldn't recommend to a friend but that is not entirely true it would depend on the situation.Special Features:
- Very Good Food bur PriceySaddlebredDined on 10/11/2014I ordered the special which was white fish covered with crab meat and imperial sauce. I had to sent it back because I couldn't see hardly any crab on top for the price of $30. They were very obliging and took the meal back and put more crab meat on top. It was very tasty. Also love the chocolate martini!Special Features:
- reservationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/10/2014We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated closer to 7pm. There was a mix up and they had moved our reservation to 7:05. My tip confirm reservation time when you check in.Special Features:
- Convenient and RespectableOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/10/2014On this particular evening I met with visitors staying at the local Marriott and needed a place with decent grilled fish and chicken. WCG was very convenient and their menu fit the requirements. We were seated at a booth in the back, and found the noise level to be acceptable for our discussion, although I think the noise level in some areas we passed through would not have been. I ordered the Perfectly Grilled Salmon, and found it to be just that. The accompanying squash was a little over cooked, but the taste was still okay. I think everyone agreed that it was just good basic food. The bill was reasonable for the quality. Not a place I would drive out of my way to get to, but would not hesitate to visit here again when in the area.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb service and foodDENtoCHIDined on 10/8/2014One of the best grilled artichoke plates I have every had, the entire meal was a delight. We will be back, again and again.Special Features:
- junebugDined on 10/5/2014This was our first visit and we really enjoyed the whole experience! The food was wonderful--especially the pumpkin cheesecake! We definitely will be back!Special Features:
- Ahh-mazimg!Yfood567Dined on 10/4/2014Everything was fantastic! Food was great as was our service! We checked in and were automatically escorted to a high table near the bar to start with drinks before we were seated for dinner. Like I said food was delicious! If you're not a fan of carrots this place will change your mind with their honey glazed carrots.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- consistency rules.....linda9760VIPDined on 10/4/2014This is our regular Saturday night place. The food and service is consistently great. Nate, our server, took fantastic care of us as he always does!Special Features:
- One of our favesKTDLVIPDined on 10/4/2014This place is one of our go-to date night spots, and it always delivers. The food was delicious, the service was perfect, and they even had our favorite seasonal dessert. We always feel well taken care of there. The only complaint we had is that it's pretty noisy in there, but even with that, we still think it's great.Special Features:
- Great place to eattonys8169Dined on 10/4/2014This was a very enjoyable experience for my wife c and I. The couple that joined us was very impressed and said they would definitely be back, as will my wife and I!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gem..CincyDined on 10/4/2014Never been here, and came only because my first few options were booked...very pleasantly surprised on all fronts. Will return! Service was excellent, the food was outstanding and the scene was lively and fun. Very crowded, but the waitress made us feel like we were her only table. Had a visit with the manager who was concerned we waited a bit too long after our arrival for our reservation (we waited 15 minutes)...comfortable tables (we had a four top booth just above the bar area), very clean restaurant and excellent fish special...Special Features:
- Very loud at 5 pm on SaturdayOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/4/2014Food was great, but we were served and waited on by so many people it was really confusing! And, it was so loud it was hard to have conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DebraDebraDined on 10/4/2014We had a great meal & service. The special artichoke appetizer was well prepared. We also enjoyed the seasonal beets as a side to our salmon & mahi mahi. Gluten free menu a plus for my brother who needs this menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/4/2014I had made reservations to celebrate my husband's 50th Birthday for a large group. The restaurant placed us directly in the front room that you see when walking in; as well, there were two LARGE tables of high school homecoming groups for the evening in the room with us. We were given one round table and one rectangle pushed together to sit and eat. My family had a previous dinners at this restaurant 2 years ago. Obviously, things have changed. Obviously, I was hoping that the comments I left in the online reservation box was enough to indicate were to place my group, especially in a better location. Thank goodness our waiter, Adam, made up for the host/hostesses' decision on where to put my family.Special Features:
- Always reliablejcboogersVIPDined on 10/3/2014Have been here many times and food is always phenomenal. First time we have had a sub par entree though. Filet was small, somewhat overcooked and with too smoky a flavor.Special Features:

To create a straight look with a bit of roundness on top, work in styling lotion and blow-dry your strands using a round brush, pulling up at the root for lift. Take small sections of dry hair and flat iron from the mid shaft to the ends.

What gay marriage opponents have in common with gay French philosophers
By Guest Hoyden on December 22, 2010
Fear and bigotry exist for a reason, so I looked at their arguments a little more closely. And I amused to discover that, beneath the surface, the view that marriage-is-between-a-man-and-a-woman-and-a-man-and-a-woman-only can probably be made sense of by the work of a famously gay, leftie French philosopher. Michel Foucault.
In fact, when it came to the political logic underlying their arguments, Foucault and gay marriage opponents had a fair bit in common.

Ethics classes to be offered in SRE time in NSW
By Mary on December 2, 2010
Ethics classes in special religious education time (SRE) are almost certainly going ahead in NSW, in 2011 at least. What do you think? If you have a child will you or would you have them attend the ethics option in SRE time? Will you or would you volunteer to be an instructor?

Giraffe and cucumber water @evanskizero #summer #pinestreet
RIP mint/purple nails with racing stripes. I only did these on Saturday, but in my new surgery rotation they are a no no. Theres no place for this flyness in a TPLO I guess.
Listened to these guys on the 4th of July. If I'm back in September, I'll see them at the Triple Rock. Until then- it's still us against them.
So I started this a year ago and never wrote on it again. I'm not sure if I will ever decide to try and attract followers, so for now it will be a place for me…with a dashboard worth checking every day.
My life is currently temporary, and thats especially comfortable. I have no furniture outside of goodwill finds and only enough dishes for one. I ate dinner in bed last night. The biggest responsibility I have is my cat and an internship position. One step up from a college graduate, but a long way off from adult. Quarter life crisis to come.
BOO HOO. Fuck the whining, I'm going to go see Predators.

Recovered hawk takes flight
Date: September 19, 2012
by: Harriet Sokmensuer | Observer Intern
When Sparky the hawk came to Save Our Seabirds' hospital last September, her legs and beak were damaged and her feathers were completely burned off. The 7-month-old bird had been severely injured when she flew into a methane burner at a local landfill, and her chances of survival were small.
But, one year later, with the help of the Save Our Seabirds staff, Sparky returned to the wild.
Sparky's road to recovery began with a month of intensive care. She soon began showing signs of recovery, and by mid-November Sparky was well enough to be moved from the shelter's hospital to the recovery wing. Sparky went through outdoor physical therapy to ensure that her wings functioned properly, and she slowly began hunting for prey — a necessity for any wild animal.
To keep Sparky wild, volunteers were only in direct contact with her for two months — the rest of the time she was in her pen with other rescued birds. As Sparky grew stronger, she befriended an older female red-shouldered hawk. With her new friend's encouragement, Sparky began to not only hunt, but to compete with other hawks for prey.
When Sparky was ready to return to the wild, Executive Director Lee Fox and volunteer Bev Meadows released her Sept. 5 in Red Bug Slough Preserve. A younger male red-shouldered hawk was released with her. SOS staff hoped they would stick together for the first couple of days.
Even though the volunteers weren't in direct contact with Sparky for more than a few months, it was hard for them to let her go.
"It's bittersweet," said Fox. "I feel sad but also proud of her for having the tenacity to stay the course, get better and get back to the wild."
After she left her cage, Sparky stayed close by long enough for Fox and other staff members and volunteers to say their goodbyes before flying out of sight.
Save Our Seabirds is located at 1708 Ken Thompson Parkway and is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. Save Our Seabirds is free and open to the public. Donations are accepted. If you or someone you know finds a bird in need, call SOS at 388-3010. To volunteer, contact Save Our Seabirds or go to saveourseabirds.org and download an application.

- Rookie cornerback Janoris Jenkins returned from a one-game absence to block a field goal attempt. This was one of a couple strong special-teams plays. Linebacker James Laurinaitis sniffed out a fake punt and tackled fullback Lex Hilliard short of the first-down marker.
- Rookie Chris Givens had a 48-yard kickoff return, the Rams' longest since 2010.
- Rookie punter Johnny Hekker had a 44.4-yard net average.
- Second-year receiver Austin Pettis, who had a touchdown reception at San Francisco in Week 11, had a 36-yard reception against the Jets.
- The Rams allowed 289 yards, the fourth time in 10 games St. Louis has held an opponent below 300. The 2011 team did it four times all season.
