| Nico Matthew Van Alen | Eighteen | FC: Jake Abel | Open |
Nico, Nico, Nico. One word, Ladies man. Nico is a bit of a heartbreaker, he loves to mess with girls. He's young but not the least bit out of control. He knows his way around and finds ways to avoid trouble at all cost. Being his father's only son, there is loads of pressure on him, to be better, to be fit, to be smart, to be cunning. Everything weighs on his shoulders, and of course the family business. It's not that he doesn't want to take over after his father steps down, it's that he doesn't have much of a choice.
Another big pressure is taking care of his sisters, not baby sitting but literally watching them. With Kierra ready to fall in love with the next thing that walks her way and Kendall being a snob, he's got a bit to watch over. Every day his father reminds him that if anything happens to them, it'll be on Nico. Nico is more close with Kendall than Kierra, seeing as no one can really get to close to Kierra. Kendall always runs to him with her boy problems and of course Nico scares the guys off. Although he is protective of both, like his father he is more protective of Kierra.
Because of her reckless ways, he makes an extra effort that boys steer clear from her. Especially the Saldana boys, and of course the Knights. He has never gotten along with them and doesn't intend on starting anytime soon.

The Battle of Washington
Daniel Snyder says it honors the heritage of Native Americans; critics consider it nothing less than a racist slur. We set out to gauge the real sentiment regarding the name 'Redskins' among Native American leaders and in grass-roots tribal communities around the country. The short answer: It's complicated
With special reporting by Emily Kaplan
SAN CARLOS, Ariz. — The dusty roads behind the San Carlos Apache tribal headquarters lead to a place where the debate surrounding the NFL team in the nation's capital does not feel 2,000 miles away. This reservation, a 1.8 million-acre trust of land two hours east of Phoenix, has an air of isolation. Cell phone service is spotty, and many businesses don't have the technology to swipe credit cards. The dwellings of the 10,000 plus residents are scattered across the semi-arid terrain.
But the issue of the Washington NFL team's name—the Redskins—drives the work of one artist on a daily basis. Propped up outside the white trailer that serves as his studio are paintings of Apache men and women on mixed media such as skateboards and household doors. Douglas Miles' work portrays his subjects in traditional dress of cloth headbands and high-topped moccasins; wielding revolvers in a modern twist on their warrior ancestors; celebrating the tribe's matrilineal heritage.
About a year and a half ago, Miles, who has lived on the reservation for nearly three decades, started an art campaign called "What Tribe," with the intent of dismantling racial stereotypes such as the ones he sees in that team name and logo. Instead of a protest or a picket sign, he decided to weigh in by presenting his culture in a way many Native Americans feel is not recognized by the larger American populace. "We're either seen as this extreme noble savage," Miles says, "or this extreme poverty case that needs help."
Indeed, these are the two visages often evoked and juxtaposed in discussions about the Washington team name. The push for a change in the name is pitted against Native Americans' less-abstract needs—job creation, health care, land rights. But in many Native American communities, and to many Native American leaders, the mascot issue is about more than a football team.
That's what we saw and heard during the past month, when The MMQB visited three Native American communities—the San Carlos Apache Reservation, Onondaga Nation in upstate New York and the Seminole Tribe's Big Cypress Indian Reservation in South Florida—and spoke to dozens of other Native Americans living across the U.S. We spoke to leaders and to everyday people in the community like Miles, whom we met at the local café in San Carlos where his daughter works.
The recent groundswell around the team name produced some movement earlier this month, when the franchise announced the launch of the Original Americans Foundation, which pledges to work with tribal communities to provide resources and opportunities. Team owner Daniel Snyder and his staff visited 26 Native American communities to gather information and assess needs, and their initiative has already had a positive and tangible impact—one project has been to distribute more than 3,000 coats to tribes in the Great Plains this winter.
But the issue of the name remains. There is a loud call from many Native Americans, one that did not ask for money or assistance from the team. It asked for a name change. In a four-page letter outlining the new foundation's goals, Snyder did not directly address this call, but wrote, "It's plain to see [Native Americans] need action, not words."
"I would say we do need action," says Jacqueline Pata, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). "And one of those actions is treating Indian country respectfully. One of those actions, Dan Snyder, is changing the name. Respect Indian country, do what is right, and don't cloak it with something else."
At least a dozen members of Congress want the name changed, as do some civil rights groups and vocal members of the national media. The people at the heart of the debate, though, are those at the grass-roots level among the more than 500 recognized tribes in the U.S. The MMQB took the temperature of Native Americans from coast to coast—representing 18 tribes in 10 states—and found a complicated and nuanced issue. What we did not find: the "overwhelming majority" that Snyder and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell have claimed support the name "Redskins."
We found opponents of the name in 18 tribes: veterans of the U.S. military, lawyers, college students, cultural center employees, school volunteers and restaurant servers. Their viewpoints align with official statements from dozens of tribes or inter-tribal councils and from the NCAI, which represents more than 250 tribal governments at the Embassy of Tribal Nations. Many of these people wondered how, or if, their voices are being counted.
By no means is there a consensus. We met a man in San Carlos who grew up rooting for Joe Theismann. Others pointed out how the Florida State Seminoles and Central Michigan Chippewas use Native American mascots with the approval and input of the tribes. Some whom we spoke to on the San Carlos and Big Cypress reservations said they had no opinion, and members of about a dozen other tribes or communities we reached out to did not respond or declined to be interviewed.
But team officials and the NFL paint a nearly uniform picture of support for the name, typically citing the results of a 2004 survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, that 90 percent of the 768 self-identified Native Americans polled said the team name "Redskins" did not bother them. (The question: "The professional football team in Washington calls itself the Washington Redskins. As a Native American, do you find that name offensive or doesn't it bother you?"). That survey is 10 years old. Can the same opinion be applied today?
i learned the word juxtaposed.
This always becomes a none issue for me whenever I see Native Americans on TV refer to themselves as Indians as in India and not Native Americans. Funny how you expect people to have a better understanding of your people when you don't even know the difference.
"Perhaps the most relevant question is not if there is a consensus among the country's more than 5 million Native Americans—the answer is no—but rather, should a name change depend on one?"
You're right.
We should just depend on the superior opinions of enlightened white liberals.
Geez...can we just make up what is racist these days? We should just do away with all color names and just call every damn crayon color NOT TRANSPARENT. You can't be Yellow, you can't be White, you can't be Red, you can't be Black....well not Black in Spanish anyway. We all can however be NOT TRANSPARENT
When the Red Mesa High School in Arizon residing on a reservation and servicing 97% Native American kids adopted Redskins as the name for their sports teams, I suppose they knew it was a racial slur and did it anyway?
When the principal was questioned about it recently, it was a big "so what. We have other worries than what our team name happens to be". Hardly evidence of any racial slur.
For about the last 70 years the name was on hundreds of schools, many on reservations. Only in the last 5 years or so have any "Redskin" schools reconsidered their names.
I wonder how many Americans know that almost all Indian cultures of the Americas were slave societies??? Not a matter of debate, it is a historical fact. Hell, quite a few of them were into human sacrifice also. And how did Indians settle these lands prior to European settlement. The same freaking way Europeans did; they killed or decimated every weaker tribe or group in their way. As another matter of fact, the Oklahoma Territories sided with the South during the Civil War because those 'poor' Indians were using slave labor to make huge, huge profits. How can Indians talk about inequality when even today, black members of the Cherokee and Creek nations are suing in court to get full recognition as members of those same tribes??? Why doesn't Eric Holder or Obama take care of that problem (rhetorical question: we already know that Chief Race-baiters 1 & 2 don't care about their own hypocrisy)??? So take all your touchy-feely nonsense, your irrational race-baiting, your freaking ignorance, and do the tomahawk chop with me right into the abyss.
Bunch of chicken chits, too weak to address the hard issues eh?
Amazing how much attention the media gives towards a sports icon and racism, while saying nothing about the racist acts of AIM's murder and hiding away of Perry Ray Robinson Jr. who marched with MLK, 40yrs and his family continues to call for the return of his body and yet NDN country and the media turn a deaf ear and close thier eyes while they yell racism about a team name.
Sickening! , Even the likes of Angela Davis and support groups will not raise their voice for such racism towards others from within .... GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT PEOPLE.
""I was floored," Oswald says. "Banks is not only aware of Robinson's killing, but where he was buried, and he acknowledges his own role in where to bury the body." It also lent credibility to the theory that AIM's leadership wasn't averse to frontier justice." - NY Times Article April 2014
Can we see if there is a tribe that would adopt the Washington football team? No one complains about the Seminoles, do they? I can see that "Redskins" is offensive, there is really no other way to see it. But using, by the tribes approval, a tribal name brings respect, dignity and a sense of history and cultural education. People I think would want to learn about the tribe, its history, what its beliefs are. I think the Washington fans was truly embrace the change and the authentic feel of who they are, not a stereotype but part of a real living breathing people, a family, which is what all Washington Redskins fans think they are. Just a long shot chance at solving a very real and problematic situation.
Like Goddard, Shoemaker said that by the end of the 18th century, Native Americans were using "red" to describe themselves and to assert their pride of being North America's original inhabitants.
I think it's high time folks get over the mere word and focus on whether the team's owners and senior managers have actual racist leanings and have actually acted in a manner -- other than owning/running a team that had a name given it some 60 odd years ago -- that shows them to be racist or racist-leaning. It's not the word itself that's necessarily offensive, but rather the thoughts and feelings of the folks who use it. It's time as a nation that we start focusing on substance more than form.
I am one quarter native american and I find this entire discussion repulsive. There is absolutely nothing offensive about "Redskins". It is absolutely the opposite. It is honorable. How far is this going to go?! How about going after the Aniak, AK High school moniker of "Half Breeds"?! ...or the Spokane Indians (farm team of the Texas Rangers). Isn't "Indians" politically incorrect these days as well? Get a job, or at least another hobby for crying out loud! Harry Reid, get back to work and focus on something with substance for crying out loud! ...or better yet, retire.
In the article they point to the Annenberg 2004 poll that said 90% of Native Americans did not have a problem with the name and asked can that opinion still apply today. They also said they could not find the "overwhelming majority" that Snyder and Goddell said support the name. They obviously talked to many Native Americans but all they can say is that there is not a consensus. Makes me wonder what SI considers to be a overwhelming majority and what percentage of those that SI talked to do not have a problem with the name.
The fact that they did not include any numbers of that kind lead me to believe that the percentage is far too close to the Annenberg 2004 number that SI would like to admit.
I am Lipan Apache and I say leave the Washington Redskins name alone! Enough has been done and taken from Native Americans already seems like this issue now just wants to diminish our existence. Native Americans have different tribes like Lipan,Apache,Lakota,Navajo and Washington has there Redskins. Why after so many years does this become an issue. Everyone has his or her own opinion but one individual does not speak for us all.
Lets get real here... you can't get consensus among Native Americans so now you write an entire article trying to say you don't need a majority to be offended just a couple Native Americans. This is a slippery slope of thinking for our country but a common thing for liberal Democrat white people looking to make themselves feel better about history. This isn't the n-word or any other negative racial stereotype and it is what Native Americans came up with themselves. The media has an agenda here and it is no coincidence that ESPN has come out with a coordinated effort where they claim they are open to debate yet 100% of their on-air personalities are against the Redskins. 83% of the country has no problem with it in the most recent poll of the country and there is a reason this author chose not to pay for a poll of Native Americans who use Redskins for their own youth team nicknames. This is very similar to the gun debate where you have a minority of rich white people who think they get to make the rules for all the rest of us peasants. Sorry, we still live in America and until the free markets demand that Snyder change his name then he should be left alone to run his business.
NOBODY uses Redskin as a slur or derogatory term. Native American Indians refer to themselves with pride as belonging to the "Red Nation." There is the Red Nation Film Festival, dozens of community groups, etc. Well, when they say the belong to the Red Nation, what "Red" are they talking about? Red for the blood their people spilled when being massacred? No, they are talking about their red skin.
The Atlanta Braves stopped using their "Screaming Indian" logo back in 1989. You now have a generation of younger baseball fans and players that don't even realize the team is named after and in honor of, Native American Indians. I randomly asked several young people in their teens & twenties if they knew what the ATL Braves were named after. Most thought the name simply stood for being brave or courageous. The only a couple of them knew it stood for Native American Indian Braves. How did they know? They grew up in households that had team memorabilia with the old Indian logo. These handful of NAI's need to be careful what they ask for before their people truly get lost in obscurity.
Teams are named in HONOR of something.......someone or some thing they hold in HIGH REGARD......Teams are not named after someone or something that is hated or despised.........Common sense anyone ?
"Washington Redskins " = Hurtful and insensitive name
" United Negro College Fund " = Non Offensive ?????????
How about changing the name to the Washington Negros then ? I mean since the word " Negro " is accepted.
This world just blows my mind.
A seven-month study was conducted by Smithsonian Institution senior linguist Ives Goddard. In the study, which is available online, Goddard concluded the origin of the word was "benign and reflects more positive aspects of relations between Indians and whites."
Native Americans described themselves as Red or the Red People. "Homa" means Red People in Choctaw. "Oklahoma" means land of the Red People in Choctaw and that word did not exist until the territory was named by a Choctaw Indian asked by the Government to do so:
The current logo was designed in 1971 by Native American leaders, including Walter "Blackie" Wetzel, a former president of the National Congress of American Indians. He brought in other leaders from Indian Tribes to help with its creation. When it was done they said it was "perfect".
Interestingly, the same National Congress of American Indians is now blaming the Washington Redskins for having a racial slur as a team name. What has changed? Could it be that the race baiting by other groups out there like the NAACP promising payouts of some kind in the end has mucked the waters?
I'll tell you what is really arrogant and racist. To take the meaning of a word from its original intention that was created by a culture and used by that culture as a proud honorable way to describe themselves and make it a racial slur against that culture.
Who do these predominantly white liberal politicians and individuals think they are to decide such a thing? And look how they have mucked the waters and turned the various Native American tribes against each other on this issue with their thought and PC police.
They are a disgrace to America. They are still lying to the Native Americans and using them as political footballs to the point where they now want to take away the name that they used to describe themselves and then convince them it is a good thing because it was a "racial slur" after all. Absolutely despicable Harry Reid and Co.!
All of this in an effort to distract, redirect, and continue to polarize Americans from focusing on the complete failures by these politicians on the real issues facing Americans of all color, race, and religion.
I'm a proud member of the Cherokee tribe and honestly I don't care about the name Redskins. I think a majority of American Indians don't have a problem with it. In my entire life I have never been called redskin as a slur. I am by no means saying there are those who haven't, I'm saying for my gen and the ones after the term to us has always been associated with a football team not racism. That term used to be know a has a hateful term in the past, but now a days not so much. Lets leave those days in the past and move on and not let a stupid name take power over us. I think they need a nation wide vote held by the tribes if the majority says change it then change it. If they majority says leave it be then leave it be. Again I still don't have a problem with the name. Hate the team being a Dallas Cowboys fan, but the name and logo, which I find tasteful some think it's also racist which is odd seeing as Indians designed it, does not bother me. If they want to change something offensive in sports I'm sure most would agree the need to change that damn Cleveland Indians logo. I Don't mind there name but there logo has got to go.
My father, who passed, was a Choctaw. His grandfather was on the Trail of Tears, and his grandmother was an orphan from it. His parents met at an Indian boarding school and he struggled in American society when he left his hometown. He experienced many of the social problems and diseases of his people. When people asked him if he was an Indian because of how he looked he would say "yes, a feather, not a dot", just to be sure. So he had a sense of humor. He told me that in his gut he was personally offended by the "Redkins" team name because he remembered stories about how the term was used in a derogatory way and so his grandparents and parents changed their names and clothes and tried to change their lifestyles to pretend they weren't Indian because they were ashamed. Local church folk back then called them "heathen Redskins" who didn't have a place in heaven because they told him Indians weren't really human. He didn't have a sense of belonging anywhere. A generation down, the name doesn't affect me personally and few people even know I'm Indian and I don't have any strong feelings about my heritage - I'm fully assimilated and fine with my life and love my country and this planet. I know a lot of Native Americans and other races don't care about the name, or they even like it, and that's okay - nothing against them. But my father cared, and that is good enough for me. In his memory and honor, I'm against the name.
This is not a complicated issue.
It's offensive otherwise there would be no story here.
It seems to me that the offensive ones are those who are not Original Americans telling Original Americans what they should or should not feel about the name. The obfuscated history of the name leads everyone to second guessing the intention of the name. But the intention of the name should not be the focus. If "Jet" became a racial slur than those people called "Jets" should be listened too about their feelings and not be preached history lessons either way. These NFL names, that bring millions of people together of all races and backgrounds together, stand not as a barrier but a bridge. Nelson Mandela recognized this power when he maintained the Springbok. And if it is the collective choice of Original Peoples from the DC area, who the Redskins represent, to change the name, that objection should be listened to. But so far Original Americans have not. What they have said is "recognize us" and this discussion has done everything but that. It has denigrated these people by ignoring what they really want and need. And as a further insult it has told them how they should feel about something that has little importance to them.
Most commenters who think NO ONE is denigrated by the name Redskins don't seem to have a problem denigrating anyone who disagrees. "We're not calling THEM names, we're calling YOU names!" . . . that says it all, don't you think?
I wonder if they (excluding most Baptists) would have a problem if people donned surplices and miters and drank beer out of chalices while attending a game by a team called the "Bishops".
Snyder is a petulant little Jewish man who is obviously unable to grasp the incredibly obvious. What was meant as a compliment, back-handed as it may have been, in the 1930's has simply out-lived its usefulness. Does he need to have the Supreme Court force him to drop the term "Redskin"? It is not as if it is a particularly "good" moniker. It is stale and out-dated and frankly offensive to some people. Not to mention the money and good will to be harvested from a change-the-name contest, new colors and all new merchandise. The team itself is in the toilet and likely to go down the drain the way the inmates are running the asylum these days. While I may not like Mike Shanahan I am certain he is a much better football coach than Snyder and his sidekick Booby Griffon. The poor puppet they brought in (Baby Gruden) is certainly in for a drubbing. Amid all that jazz a name change is nothing.
@Jim Mouser so your argument is because of tradition/establishment?
Abe Lincoln "For the past 50 years, slavery has been okay! When the head butler of Mississippi Plantation was asked about the N-word, it was a "big so what. We have other worries than what they call us!" Hardly any evidence,right?
I can't wait till Jim's older generations start dying off, madre de dios
Excuse my grammar snafu, I did not spell check before I posted, Lol!
@RonAhmay it's amusing that at the end of the century a lot of minorities were trying to define or redefine themselves. In a search for identity a people will move through stages, as their view of themselves and their place and position in the world changes. It is now the 21st century and maybe that sentiment is not the same. Just a thought.
@tony20009 I could almost agree with you but racism is not that easy to define or outlaw, or morally destroy. If it is high time we as people get over something it is the idea that words don't hurt, they don't help to define and shape our world view, and they don't cause us to be callous of other people's feelings because it seems okay and what's the big deal anyway. Hey just another person's view on your view. Be Blessed and have a nice day
I didn't realize you were the ambassador of all native american people with your quarter-status.
disregard the thousands of living natives who signed a petition saying it
offends and demeans them - Hey NFL, CG Whitney over here is not even a
majority of Native ethnically, shoot not even a third, but this person has no problem with it!
We've figured dt out, the name is OKAY!
@cgwhitney He IS working! Things like the above are what Harry Reid does: race baiting, sewing racial disharmony.
What I'd love to know is who is funding and organizing this upstart "Name Changer" business? Seems like business to me. This "issue" was barely a blip on the radar a few short years ago; now one can't go a full day without running across it somewhere.
A campaign this organized takes lots of money and manpower. Who's at the top of the pyramid?
@eick74 And supposedly the team was named for the original coach who was 1/2 Native American.
@eick74 I live in CT and we have Native American casinos here. There is a sports shop in Mohegan Sun that is casino owned (not a franchise). The shop only carries local teams; Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, Giants, Jets, Patriots and... the Washington Redskins. There are several other teams between CT and Washington, the Steelers, the Eagles etc, but they pretty much don't have any of their memorabilia. I found that interesting. How come there isn't a bigger stink over the Cleveland Indians? And Chief Wahoo? I mean there is some outrage over Wahoo but every year it seems like the Redskins name becomes a national story.
@eick74 Yep and despite numerous polls that tend to show majority support for the name they decide to start each page using quotes that are almost completely against the name.
@BrutusTheBuckeye go to any establishment with a group of Native American Indians present that are OFFENDED by that slur and yell out `HEY REDSKINS` and lets see if you walk out alive. case closed.
@BrutusTheBuckeye "...a common thing for liberal Democrat white people looking to make themselves feel better about history."
You hit the nail on the head, my friend. As much as anything else, this is about erasing the memory of American Indians, and thus all the wrongs that were visited upon them. It distresses me to see so many sincere Native peoples fall into a trap intended to further marginalize them.
But if you've tried explaining this to a Name Changer, you've already discovered that they listen impatiently (when they listen at all), and then regurgitate the very same talking points as before, in the same order. Saul Alinsky's RULES FOR RADICALS explains how to do this, so they're working from a playbook, no doubt about it.
@chazatlas There is, not unimportantly, the State of Oklahoma, unfortunate destination for many tribes who walked on, and died on, the Trail of Tears. "Oklahoma" is Choctaw for "Red People".
Nobody seems very upset about this. Nor should they be.
@mrmach1 Correct. No one would ever name a sports team the "Wife Beaters", now would they?
@JimPrato Dude for real, you just had to bring that into the discussion? And you wonder why people still see racism as an issue in America. That you thought that was appropriate, insightful and intelligent way to discuss this blows MY mind. But okay our Soldiers of all races, colors, creeds and religions have fought and are still fighting wars for your right to say whatever is on your mind. I just hope you show a little more sensitivity and restraint in the future. Just because you have the right to say something does not mean it is the right thing to say. Have a wonderful day and God bless you!
@JimSmith4 The only thing I think should be added to your superb marshaling of historical facts above (well done!) is that the logo adopted in 1971 was the first time the helmet had a likeness of an American Indian. At that time, the letter "R" appeared on both sides of the helmet.
At that time, Walter Wetzel and NCAI Council members traveled to DC to expressly ASK the team to put an image of a Native American on the sides of the helmet. Do they sound as if they were appalled by the "slur", "Redskins"?
@JimSmith4 I am one quarter native american and I find this entire discussion repulsive. There is absolutely nothing offensive about "Redskins". It is absolutely the opposite. It is honorable. How far is this going to go?! How about going after the Aniak, AK High school moniker of "Half Breeds"?! ...or the Spokane Indians (farm team of the Texas Rangers). Isn't "Indians" politically incorrect these days as well? Get a job, or at least another hobby for crying out loud! Harry Reid, get back to work and focus on something with substance for crying out loud! ...or better yet, retire.
I appreciate your comment and understand.
Ask yourself this question...If I had just organized a football team and the time had came to make a choice on how we will identify my team.
Would you naturally be inclined to permanently identify Your team in celebration of something you Admire ?
Or would you want to choose a permanent name for your team after something hate or despise ?
I dont believe anyone takes the second aprroach !
@GregGustav And the talking point gallops in....
@GregGustav apparently you didn't read the article... if it wasn't complicated he wouldn't have written 5 pages about just how complicated this issue is. Though I would argue for free markets, if people stopped going to games and buying the merchandise, Snyder would change the name tomorrow, however as the article stated Native Americans themselves go to the games, buy the merchandise and even name their youth teams Redskins so maybe this issue isn't quite so cut and dry.
Do you believe that any and all gripes and complaints are legitimate ???? Your line of thought is ....People are offended or they wouldnt say they were offended.
Does that make it legitimate ?
@citizenpained I'm missing something here. Is there some disgrace in a bishop wearing his vestments? Or is the disgrace in drinking beer? I'm sure a number of bishops would take offense at your insinuations.
Would you also favor renaming the chess piece of the same name? See, I hate to say it, but I see your thinking as twisted and not at all logical. OH! It's always about FEELINGS, isn't it?
@RalphTheGardener Jew-baiter. Shame on you, you miserable anti-Semite.
@RalphTheGardener wow, the anti-Semite section of the Democrat party out in force
@RalphTheGardener Go back to gardening, Ralphie. You're criticizing a team for it's unintentional insult while you flagrantly insult the owner by calling him a "petulant little Jewish man." The obvious thing here is that this is a non-story promoted by the sensationalist media: the people who are most "offended" by the team's name are those who are least impacted by that name. The one who is "obviously unable to grasp the incredibly obvious" is you.
@skyking812 @mrmach1 teams are sometimes named after objects of fear (pirates=terrorists of the sea, raptors, bears, lions, etc.)
@skyking812 @mrmach1 some are called after hated enemies (boll weevils) and some are just for a good laugh or whimsy (banana slugs).
@LarryTRobertson @JimPrato I don't understand what got your panties in a twist. Was it the word "negro"?
@skyking812 @RalphTheGardener I don't see the problem, just as Redskins fans don't.
Let's use their logic...
It is an undeniable fact that Snyder is a Jew.
I believe that Ralph the Gardener stated that out of respect and honor, not to smear the Jewish community with a ill-advised slur. The name pays homage to the great Jewish heritage and culture that Snyder is a part of, it does not matter at all that Ralph might not be Jewish. We should have a New York Jews football team! It is so totally not offensive, Jews are in NY, and the term Jew itself isn't a slur - it's perfect!
@BrutusTheBuckeye @RalphTheGardener
It's cool, the anti-Native American section of the Republican party has its own friggin team. Think one internet comment can pass
@BrutusTheBuckeye @RalphTheGardener Eh, these are the same people also fight for Hamas's rights and freedoms to oppress women and minorities. What happened to the days Americans believed in themselves, believed in egalitarianism and equality, believed that we need to stand up for people getting put down. It's a shame we live today where political correctness goes to the lengths of defending those who actually oppress, and demonizes people at home hurting no one.
Least impacted? You mean that there have been no petitions at all with thousands of actual Native people stating their opposition and offence to the name? It doesn't matter because they are out of sight and out of mind, you say?
Well, gosh, I never thought about it that way before, the team's name is alright, everything is so clear now...

pulled at 137 after two hours in 220 smoke from oak and pecan. I was having issues with my Maverick thermo as the food probe reading crept up to 140 in a bit over an hour, too fast. I used a Taylor thermo that I borrowed from a friend (just to test comparisons between the two, which wasn't much at the time two months ago) and it read a much lower if not plausible temp. so I stuck with the Taylor.
in my earlier posts, say, 6 months ago?, I had talked about my tri tips being done in less than an hour. my smoker at the time was hard to control temp-wise what with the many leaks it had. since I plugged it all up a month ago, it was all easy peasy but I was still worried about the tri tip tonight because of what my Maverick read. initial plan was to pull after 140 but I decided to cut it a bit short and play it safe. turns out that the Taylor worked better and that I'll need a new probe for the Maverick.
btw, the tri tip came out FAN-****IN-TASTIC!! sooo tender and juicy it melted in the mouth. however, I had it soaking in a white wine marinade made by Russian River Valley Reserve, one of the bottles that we bought on our anniversary trip up north last Fall. there's still some marinade left in the bottle and I certainly look forward to using it again.

Rmanj Monastery
The Rmanj Monastery (Serbian Cyrillic: Манастир Рмањ) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery located in Martin Brod, north-western Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the left bank of the Unac River, near its confluence with the Una River. The patron saint of the monastery is Saint Nicholas. It was probably founded in the late 15th or early 16th century. After the Ottoman Empire's conquest of the area, the monastery was temporarily abandoned in 1578. In the early 17th century, it became the see of the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitanate of Dabar-Bosnia, and it remained in this capacity for about 110 years. After the monastery was burned down by the Turks in 1663, it was later rebuilt and reoccupied in 1737. It was burned down again during the Austro-Turkish War of 1787–1791. Ottoman authorities allowed the renovation of the monastery in 1863, and it was rebuilt in two years. It was badly damaged during the anti-Ottoman uprising in Bosnia in 1875 and 1876.[1] Next year, Arthur Evans visited Rmanj (spelled as "Ermanja" by him), and in one of his letters, he described the damage inflicted on the monastery's church by troops under a Bosnian Muslim feudal lord.[2] Once more, the monastery was repaired in 1883.[1]
In World War II, a field hospital of the Yugoslav Partisans was organised at the monastery. For this reason,[3] it was bombed by the Germans and completely destroyed on 23 April 1944.[1] In 1974, authorities of the Socialist Yugoslavia allowed the renovation of the monastery.[3] Its church was completed in the 1980s, and the foundation of the monks' dormitory was consecrated in 1993. In 1995, during the Croatian Army's Operation Storm, the monastery was shelled and badly damaged.[1] Afterwards, Croatian soldiers mined the monastery's church, but the mines were removed by British soldiers of the SFOR. The dormitory was completed in 2006, and in the following year, the monastery was inhabited by three monks.[3] In 2007, the Rmanj Monastery was proclaimed a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1]

About 3 weeks ago I opted for the Vodafone 30day contract at £15pm and so far its been stonkingly good across the south east (mainly Surrey and Sussex). I've also used it on both a Win 7 and MacOSX and I agree with the easy interface, I even taught my otherwise non-tech fiance to use it on both.
I did find that a software update was available via the Vodafone website and that only improved things even more!
Well worth the investment if you don't want to commit to a lengthy contract.

He's chasing power. But the reason he's chasing power is because, really, he's chasing self-esteem. Anyone — I think anyone who feels powerful has no need to reach for it. Those in the world who feel they aren't powerful, they seem to have no self-love, no self-esteem, are constantly trying to get the power. -Tom Hiddleston on Loki

Cake Pops!
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 10-10-2012 - 7:33pm
Did you see these on our main page? How cute!
|Fri, 10-12-2012 - 8:56am
|Mon, 10-15-2012 - 7:46am
Yes they are cute BUT I dont get the whole idea of cake pops, to me cake made out of a box and icing from a tub, isnt lovely, it taste chemical.
|Mon, 10-15-2012 - 8:50am
True. Which type of frosting do the use, is it sugar or butter based?
Looking at cakepops has gotten me hungry for arraksballs, a recipe that been here for a long time, it made with homemade cake crumbs, butter , apple sauce , coco powder and flavourings and rolled into a ball and then eaten.
No stick in these, that would only be in the way, since their destiny will be my tummy. NOM!
* goes to bake a cake*
|Mon, 10-15-2012 - 11:21am
Of course we'd make it all from scratch. Most of the "recipes" I see on our food main page are not really recipes at all, using prepared foods and canned goods and mixes. But the ideas for decorating the pops are fun!
|Mon, 10-15-2012 - 1:11pm
Yes they are cute but still nah for me and oh the cake didnt fail and well J started eating it as it was and I never manage to make arraksballs.
But the big problem for me when it says take a tub of frosting, I dont know if it is sugar based or butter based or milk based.

Ok raise your hand if you knew the term "Black Friday" was first coined in the City of Brotherly Love, my hometown, Philadelphia. It's ok if you didn't know that. I was born and raised here and I didn't even know it.
According to Time Magazine, "The term Black Friday itself was originally used to describe something else entirely — the Sept. 24, 1864, stock-market panic set off by plunging gold prices. Newspapers in Philadelphia re-appropriated the phrase in the late 1960s, using it to describe the rush of crowds at stores."
As Johnny Carson would say, 'I did not know that.'
What I do know, however, is the cultural, societal and retail phenomenon Black Friday has become. It has become symbolic for marketers and advertisers across the land as it signals the start of what they hope will be a very fruitful and beneficial holiday shopping season.
Of course nowadays it's more like Black Thursday what with retailers now bypassing the once sacred idea of a holiday and opening their doors on Thanksgiving itself.
But that's another story for another time.
What Does the Survey Say?
No, not what the fox says – we all know he says ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! I am referring to the recent survey conducted by Deloitte, who surveyed consumers about their Thanksgiving week shopping plans.
The numbers in this survey, in particular one, speaks to the possibility that Black Friday (and the subsequent weekend including Cyber Monday) is losing some of its appeal for consumers. As you can see from the chart below, 53 percent of consumers plan to head online or to the stores this weekend. Yes that is more than half of Americans still planning on doing their shopping on Black Friday, etc., the percentage is down from last year.
Could this mean more consumers are deciding to spread their shopping out through the entire holiday season rather than just during this period of time?
Belinda McConnell, Principal at Deloitte thinks so. "There is less urgency around getting the Black Friday deal on Black Friday," she said. "The novelty of 'Black Thursday' has worn off a little, and we're hearing more consumers say they'll avoid the crowds in the stores on Black Friday. "
Of course this is only a one-year trend so we will need to monitor this going forward naturally to see if in fact the trend continues and more and more shoppers move away from the madness and mayhem of Black Friday, Cyber Monday and so on. I, however, believe this trend will in fact continue.
I think you will see more and more consumers making the conscious decision to not put all (or most) of their holiday shopping eggs into one basket, as it were. This is not to say Black Friday and Cyber Monday, etc, won't have a place at the table. Of course they will.
What it does mean, however, is that retailers need to be cognizant of any change in their customers' collective behaviors and adjust and respond accordingly. Remember Mr. and Mrs. Retailer, the consumer is driving the bus now. You are merely along for the ride. They will decide when they want to get off and do a little shopping.
Spread Out But Still Spending
So it appears more consumers are spreading their holiday shopping season out over a longer period of time. And as McConnell puts it, that could be a good thing as it means traffic is less likely to fall off after Black Friday.
Consumers are also planning on spending the same or even more than they did last year with 69 percent of consumers responding they'll spend the same or more on the holidays than they originally planned.
And when consumers do come into your retail location to do their holiday shopping, regardless of when it is, you better be ready for them from a mobile marketing perspective.
"When they head to the stores, expect them to be online on their phones and tablets at the same time, with significant website traffic on those days coming from mobile devices," says McConnell "We've found that the more informed consumer is more likely to buy, and our research has shown that consumers using smartphones in the store are 14 percent more likely to make a purchase than those who are not using devices. This holiday season, those smartphone-toting consumers are expected to spend 64 percent more than those shopping without phones."

I want to kiss her.
Not because I want to feel the softness of her fair lips or the warmth of her breath as she exhales against me.
I want to kiss her because I can't think of any other way to fully express the beauty that she is. I want her to know that I see her as perfect. That she is perfect.

Road safety is not to be taken lightly. Each year, thousands die on American roads, with driver error as a leading cause. Throughout motorized history, one of the prime ways used to curb deaths has been through speed limits. But are today's speed limits too low? We see both sides of the argument, even though we yearn to live in a world where we can go as fast we want (we hear that place is called "Germany"). More importantly, are speed limits set intentionally low so that – *gasp* – municipalities can make money off of ticket revenue?
This video, by Six 7 Films, doesn't advocate for a world without speed limits. Rather, the Vancouver-based film takes a hard look at what it calls artificially low speed limits that exist for no other reason than to line the pockets of insurance companies, governments and fuel media hand-wringers. It also suggests that roads might actually be safer if people were moving a bit more quickly. The spot isn't all doom-and-gloom seriousness, though, as it features a few entertaining pop culture references from Super Troopers, Back To The Future and The Simpsons. Even the inimitable George Carlin makes an appearance. Take a look below at the video, and the let us know what you think about the state of speed limits in Comments.

Copper rose as stockpiles monitored by the London Metal Exchange fell to the lowest in more than two years and as other commodities including oil gained before data forecast to show improving U.S. retail sales.
Metal for delivery in three months on the LME rose as much as 0.8 percent to $8,509 a metric ton and traded at $8,496 by 12:04 p.m. Seoul time. Inventories monitored by the world's biggest metals bourse have tumbled 26 percent this year to 273,925 tons, the lowest level since July 2009. Orders to withdraw copper from LME warehouses, or canceled warrants, reached the highest level since 2004 at 99,150 tons on March 2, exchange figures showed.
"Given the high level of canceled warrants at the London Metals Exchange, we would argue that underlying demand is healthier than many market participants believe," Tobias Merath, head of global commodity research at Credit Suisse AG, wrote in a report today.
Prices are up 12 percent this year on expectations the global economic recovery will spur metals demand. Futures for May delivery gained 0.5 percent to $3.8570 a pound on the Comex in New York. The June-delivery contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 0.5 percent higher at 60,900 ($9,630) yuan a ton.
U.S. retail sales probably rose in February by the most in five months, according to a Bloomberg News survey. The Federal Open Market Committee meets today amid speculation that improvements in economic data have reduced the likelihood it will initiate a third round of asset purchases under quantitative easing. Oil in New York gained 0.5 percent to $106.91 a barrel. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index rose 0.4 percent.
On the LME, lead rose 0.4 percent to $2,145.75 a ton and nickel increased 0.3 percent to $19,323 per ton, while aluminum climbed 0.4 percent to $2,238 a ton and tin advanced 0.2 percent at $23,525 a ton. Zinc was little changed at $2,089.50 a ton.

|Topic: Must see wineries for first timers
posted 09-04-2012 08:10 AM
It sounds like this is your first trip to Wine Country. If so, you are going to enjoy it and want to return many times.
Here would be my suggestions: If you are going to make appointments, begin the day at 10:00 AM with an appointment, then make an appointment for 1:00 PM. That way, you will be able to "Free Lance" a little more and visit wineries along the way that catch your eye.
If you want to make all appointments, I would suggest two in the morning and three in the afternoon. Most of the time, an hour will be plenty of time.
If you haven't been to Wine Country before, make your first appointment at Robert Mondavi and take the Basic Wine Experience visit. That will give you some background on which to build. Also as you taste at other wineries, ask questions and ask for suggestions for other wineries to visit.
If you want specific suggestions, go to the post that I just made "October Napa and Sonoma Itinerary". These are some of my favorite wineries in the valley.
Hope this helps, and please give us a report when your return. Have a great trip.

Any specific NAMES of individual wineries that are a must-see? Both Napa and Sonoma. I'm trying to plan an itinerary so I can make reservations. We are visiting at the end of September and will be staying in downtown Napa Monday-Friday. Another question is shoul, we do a guided wine tour or just head out on our own (we have a rental car). If the tour is worth the money, any particular company to go with? Thanks so much!
All times are ET (US)

GAMBLING BEARDING THE GODS OF CHANCE page 2
People have so much fun gambling that for generations, most forms of it were illegal in most of the United States. The Puritans considered it blasphemous, and later churches railed against its wickedness except when church-sponsored, as in Wednesday-night Bingo games to benefit the new social hall.
The upper and lower classes continued to gamble anyway. It seems to be basic to the human animal. When I was in elementary school, little boys pitched pennies in dark corners of the playground; the attendant penalties were awful to contemplate and must surely have added to the fun.
Illegality reinforced the joy of gambling and produced colorful "Guys and Dolls" characters and a steady income for the Mafia, while many an underpaid policeman sent his kids to college on the bribes. Then in 1951 the Kefauver Committee did a little snooping and announced that illegal gambling around here came to $20 billion a year, and in 1951 that wasn't chump-change. The government, nobody's fool, realized they weren't getting any of this, so they made the gamblers sign up to pay taxes.
Little by little, respectability has reared its ugly head. This is due to the link between taxes and morality, by which everything that produces taxable income is fine with us. Losing your shirt at Las Vegas or Pimlico is unfortunate but morally okay; losing it at the Saturday-night poker game is wicked, because the winners won't be telling the IRS.
Some complain that gambling is now so respectable it's quite dismally middle class and much of the joy has fled, what with everyone and his dog playing the slots and lotteries, and no office without its football pool. Gone are the fleet and skulking numbers runners; gone the sinister hats and snappy suits of the Damon Runyon touts; gone even the dazzlingly wicked concept of vingt-et-un at Monte Carlo, where countesses in shoulder-length black gloves wagered their diamond earrings and Russian Grand Dukes, having lost an estate the size of Nebraska, shot themselves on the balconies. What, alas, do we need with Monte Carlo when Atlantic City's so much closer, and has saltwater taffy besides?
Fiddlesticks. This is like saying the sexual revolution of the sixties took all the fun out of sex. What gambling has lost in romance it's gained in availability, and it is our duty in these pages to provide pleasure for all, even the respectable. Elitists who still miss the illicit thrill can always try Russian roulette.

Sex tourism is the act of traveling to another location for the purpose of having sex with prostitutes. There are many countries known for this, including but not limited to Costa Rica, Thailand, Cambodia and Kenya. Las Vegas is a popular sex tourism location in the USA because prostitution is regulated by the state.
France's culture minister, Frederic Mitterrand, wrote about his sex tourism adventures in Thailand in his autobiography, "The Bad Life". Frederic sparked a controversy after he wrote about sleeping with young boys on his trips abroad while lamenting about the atrocities of human traficking. Unlike the regulated sex industry of Las Vegas, Thailand depends on slavery and human trafficking to fuel its prostitution profits. The Thai government has been working with western countries such as the United States to alleviate the problem.
The sex tourism industry of Costa Rica is composed of more willing sex workers than in some other countries. Like Las Vegas, Costa Rica regulates the sex industry as an alternative to prohibition. Unemployed mothers often sell their bodies in cities to feed their kids and send them to college. The demand for such jobs skyrocketed after the global economy sunk in 2008. Thousands of women from neighboring countries moved to Costa Rica to cash in on the sex tourism trade. By 2010, there was a shortage of sex tourists to help them pay their bills as the market became saturated.
The child sex tourism industry is alive and well in Kenya, where the government officially denies that the industry exists. Mombasa is a major tourist destination in Kenya, especially for men looking for young boys to sleep with. The poor kids in Mombasa are usually bribed by pimps to prostitute themselves. Some bars even allow these kids to drink despite underage drinking laws. Officials rarely enforce such laws. To them, the leniency boosts the economy. Mombasa once had a thriving economy due to normal tourism. After a violent election and a sunken economy, this once thriving city turned to sex tourism to keep from going bankrupt.

Not so long ago, the notion of getting a show on primetime TV with the words "farming" and "heroes" in the title would have been unimaginable.
But that's exactly what has happened, with the second of six such programmes having aired on BBC2 on Tuesday. The answer, perhaps, to why it's made it onto our screen lies in the other two words in the title.
The series is Jimmy Doherty's Farming Heroes, and the man in front of the camera first hit the headlines through the 2002 fly-on-the-wall documentary about his fledgling business, Jimmy's Farm.
In his new incarnation he's travelling the country, visiting everyone from the massive and the high-tech to the tiny and the traditional. "It's about showing the reality of farming and how diverse it is," says the 33-year-old.
The series isn't, he insists, about taking a particular line or advocating what he does (he's big on rare breeds and sells premium products at premium prices), it's simply about showing - and celebrating - agriculture in all its many forms.
"Think about a programme like Coast. We've had three series of it and have gone round the UK God-knows-how-many times. But no one's looked at the interior and the majority of that is farming landscape. We need to know what goes on."
Farmers have certainly liked what they've seen of it so far. "Inspirational", "unbiased" and "long overdue" are three of the epithets used to describe it. It's going down well with the general public, too. There again, he is a viewer favourite. Think ag college student meets Essex boy. Son of the soil meets surf dude. But, most importantly of all, he's evangelical about his subject.
"Without organised agriculture, we just wouldn't be here. It's the basis of civilisation. Once you view it like that, it's very humbling. Do we need farmers? Yes, we bloody do."
It's all rather different from his previous screen role as the eponymous star of Jimmy's Farm. A lot of farmers, frankly, hated it because they reckoned, with its emphasis firmly on drama (basically, he lurched from one crisis to another, many seemingly of his own making), it did nothing to improve the perception of an industry already with a PR problem. They even called the 2004 follow-up Crisis on Jimmy's Farm.
But it was, he maintains, never intended to be any representation of UK agriculture - it was more about the trials and tribulations of setting a business up (one which just happened to be a farm). "If I'd come out of agricultural college and inherited a farm, it might have been a more conventional story, but that wasn't the case."
He's dismisses claims that he's merely "playing" at the job. Ditto the suggestion that his success has come principally as a result of his friendship with Jamie Oliver (the two have been mates since Jimmy was four and he's godfather to the chef's daughter). The loan he took from him to help get started (the media widely reported it as £55k) was not, he stresses, a handout. "It was a business loan from his company, which was properly done and has been paid back. The TV side had nothing to do with Jamie."
The truth is that Jimmy has always been interested in the countryside, having grown up in rural Essex a particular catalyst was a friend's dad's Gloucester and Dexter cattle. He went on to study a degree in zoology at Coventry and a PhD in entomology (that's insects to you and me).
"I loved the natural world, but the thing about academic life is that it turns all the colour and vibrancy of the natural world into numbers. You're sitting in a room doing statistics. I used to count flies down a microscope. Thousands of flies!"
He'd kept chickens as a kid, grown vegetables as a student and read up on self-sufficiency. "But there was no point doing it as a sideline, it had to work as a business. The only way I could have a small mixed farm and for it to be viable was to do all the processing, add all the value and sell direct to the public."
And that's precisely what he is doing with his equally screen-friendly other half Michaela at their 40ha (100-acre) base near Wherstead in Suffolk. There are 40 rare-breed sows, a small flock of traditional-breed sheep and 45 cows. They had more pigs but scaled back when feed costs shot up early this year.
He's proud of the fact that he's started a farmers' market which has "created a community" and supports local producers proud, too, of the fact that he's created 15 full-time jobs (even if "this can be a pain in the arse at times").
"We've got to take a lot of money each month to break even. We've got huge overheads because there are a number of income streams that keep this business going and involve a lot of people.
"What we're trying to do is offer a range of cuts and breeds that people can't get in other farm shops or in the supermarket."
While he's passionate about his approach, there has always, he maintains, been a role for different systems because of the range of markets. "Saying everyone should be eating traditionally dry-cured bacon from free-range, rare-breed pigs is all very well, but there is a reality in terms of what people are prepared to pay for food."
This is a sentiment which comes through on the TV series. The first episode, when he was in East Anglia, saw him visit an ultra-modern arable outfit, a state-of-the-art celery operation and a big poultry set-up. "Big doesn't necessarily mean bad," he says. "Acre for acre, we're world beaters and that's something to be proud of."
With its arty filming, its modern soundtrack - and even some time-lapse photography - this makes exciting viewing. Hang on, though. Can this be right? Our livestock and arable guys being glamourised, not demonised, on mainstream TV? Well it is. The review in the Daily Telegraph described it as "a timely and revealing journey that demonstrates what a crucial industry farming still is in the UK".
He admits filming has been a "complete eye-opener" and accepts that systems like his don't have all the answers to the burgeoning world food crisis. The grub he retails through his farmshop is delicious, but it's too pricey for many (six Ipswich Super Blue sausages, for example, would set you back £4.62).
"It's been a lot of fun making the show, but bloody hard work." Forget the notion of TV being all glamour, he laughs. Doing it, he reckons, involves a lot of "staying in pokey hotels and eating service-station sandwiches".
The show, meanwhile, is set to do another thing: make jobs in the countryside seem attractive again. "It's an immensely rewarding career. Problem is, everybody wants to be a bloody footballer or web designer these days.
"It's very important to encourage young people - but you're dealing with the PlayStation generation. It's all about instant gratification. Modern agriculture is very technical - so show them the amazing machinery. If you say: 'Look, have a go at this, it's like Star Wars', that will engage them.
"Because farmers are at the coalface all the time, because it's their daily job, they forget sometimes to sit back and say: Yes, this is amazing."
His own career path saw him toy with the idea of joining the police force or the Marines when he was younger. He was in the TA for five years (and is still a military history buff). "I think there is something honourable about service to your country - but I like being in control of my own life."
Jimmy Doherty's Farming Heroes has certainly thrust him back into the limelight, although he's not, he insists, about to be tempted into a full-time on-screen career. "That would do your nut in. That's a very ephemeral world.
"It makes me laugh when people call me the celebrity pig farmer. There is an obsession with celebrity in the UK. We tend to miss what's important in life. I see myself as a bit of a Z-lister.
"The worse thing is that we can't include everyone we saw in the programme. It would have been great to have had an hour on red tape - but people wouldn't have watched that."
And bureaucracy is not the only topic he's critical of government over. "One of the biggest problems for farming is not having enough power or backing from government to say: Hang on, these supermarkets are shafting us. There needs to be a rebalancing of the fairness of those deals. That's what the public needs to see. That's one of the biggest challenges - trying to get an honest day's pay for an honest day's work."
Meanwhile, he remains as passionate as ever about traditional livestock breeds. "They are part of our heritage they're just as important as the paintings hanging up in the National Gallery."
He doesn't deny that he's been on a steep learning curve and made lots of mistakes, but is adamant he's in it for the long haul now. "We'll always be farming. Even if we couldn't be here, we'd go somewhere else."
And if there's one thing he hopes the TV show achieves? "I want people to see the reality of farming and farmers. I truly do see them as unsung heroes.
"I could be in academic life now," he muses, "in some university department with a few bantams in the garden thinking: What if?"
If the show carries on to change public opinion to a more positive view of farming, then farmers everywhere probably should be grateful he isn't, too.

A San Angelo author and Tea Party member has learned that he can bash Islam if he wants.But even in San Angelo, that doesn't mean anyone else will listen.In an bold move defying the stereotype of xenophobic Texas towns, the San Angelo Tea Party has disavowed comments by former President Terry M. Campbell and Grand Prairie activist Dorrie O'Brien at a Sept. 10 meeting on "radical Islam."Somewhere along the way, the topic of jihad switched to all people of quiet faith.According to the news site San Angelo Live, Campbell said the city has "four Muslim families" and "I don't trust any of them."He denied saying, as the news site reported, "and that's four too many."After national criticism, Tea Party officers told the newspaper their only concern is jihadism and that Campbell's and guest speaker O'Brien's comments swiped with too broad of a brush."We see a big difference between radical Islam and Muslims," Tea Party President Nathan Boates told the news site.Civic leader Lyleanne McClellan-Thee, the Tea Party vice president, said: "We obviously don't think that they should all be lumped together."Campbell, 74, a General Dynamics retiree from Florida who moved to San Angelo eight years ago, has repeatedly written to the San Angelo Standard-Times opposing Islam.Another San Angelo news site, ChristianReporterNews.com, dropped his column and deleted his video commentaries after the Tea Party meeting report, he said."I've been called all kinds of stuff," he said by phone from San Angelo.He said he was only joking about the number of families and never said the "too many" part.Although he has written and spoken broadly against followers of Islam, he said: "Personally, I've never met one."O'Brien, a freelance book editor and Tarrant County Republcan Party activist, leads the Grand Prairie chapter of Florida-based Act! For America, a 501(c)(4) which "educates" against "radical Islam."She has been making the rounds of Tea Party and Republican groups selling a self-published book and also drumming up opposition to Christian churches' interfaith community projects with mosques.San Angelo Live quoted O'Brien in her presentation as calling Islam a "poisoned well."Boates, the Tea Party president, said the meeting was meant to focus on jihad and O'Brien "could have maybe stated it a little better."Maybe that's a topic for the next Tea Party.

A special new Lucario figure has been revealed for Pokemon Rumble U. You may remember that Lucario is one of six Pokemon figures who will the available on launch day but if you study this figure's chest and the base you'll notice something a bit different about it.
This new Lucario is based on the Lucario who is the director of the Adventure Division of Pokemon Smash.
Pokemon Smash is a Japanese show presented by hosts who are split up into different divisions of the Pokemon Enterprise. Chief Golgo (played by comedian Golgo Matsumoto) runs the show and beneath him are the two divisions: The Research Division led by Professor Red (comedian Red Yoshida) and the Adventure Division, the director of which is this Lucario.
This Lucario will have the Pokemon Smash special ability when you transfer him into the game. It will be distributed in Japan and the 28 April edition of Pokemon Smash will reveal how you get hold of it.
Given that this special Pokemon is based on a show that's only broadcast in Japan, it would be surprising if this Lucario was made available in the UK.
