GENOA – After graduating from Genoa-Kingston High School, Josh Kurpius studied art at Kishwaukee College, but he never owned a camera before his third year of college.
"Drawing, painting, all the arts – I didn't know what I wanted to do," Kurpius said. "I just went to Kish to take every art class I could take, and finally I landed on photography."
He went on to Columbia College in Chicago to get a BFA in photography at about the same time he developed an interest in motorcycles. He has spent most of his time since college riding his motorcycle – handmade from a 1977 Harley-Davidson Sportster in his dad's garage in Genoa – around the country and taking thousands of photographs to document the road trips.
His chopper, along with a selection of his photographs, are part of an exhibit, "Living Lost," that opened at the Harley-Davidson museum in Milwaukee on Jan. 17 and continues through May 18. Kurpius is hosting an exhibit opening party at the museum on Feb. 1, and the photos from the exhibit can be viewed on his website at www.joshkurpius.com.
Kurpius sat down with MidWeek reporter Curtis Clegg to discuss the long journey that brought him to this point in his career.
MidWeek: How did this exhibit of your photographs become a reality?
Kurpius: It's more than 30 rather large images. Harley approached me on it and asked me if I wanted to do an exhibit there. They are focusing on the American Road Trip, and they knew I had traveled a lot. ...They are also having my bike on display at the museum. It will be sitting in front of one of my images that's about 15-foot-by-20-foot right when you walk into the museum.
MW: What kind of feedback did you get from people who attended?
JK: There was a city-wide art walk that day, so a lot of the galleries were open. There were people there looking at the images on the wall and they didn't know who I was, so just walking through was kind of interesting to hear people talk about the images. I think they said that more than 70 percent of the people who go into the Harley museum don't own bikes and they're not bikers. ...Every image has a story and we went back and forth whether to give the full story or just to give a clue. We decided to just make titles that give a little clue about what the photo is about.
MW: How did you decide which ones to display?
JK: Surprisingly, everything you see on the wall was my decision. I figured coming into it that Harley would say, "Oh we want that one, that one, and that one" but it really wasn't that way. It forced me to sit down and go through my archives of stuff that I hadn't seen for years, or ever seen because I shoot so many images that sometimes some get lost in the mix and you never see them. ...Basically, I did a sweep through and I got together with the curators at the museum and we all liked these (that he had selected) and we were pretty stoked. ...It is a real and unedited look into how I live my life because you don't see me in the photos but I'm doing things as much as they are. ...This exhibit is focused on one group of friends from Chicago and we're all about riding and having a family element to where, "Oh, it's Otto's first birthday in Bloomington, Ind. That's a good reason to ride," or "There's an event going on in California." ...A lot of the images are not my best images. If I had to pick an image to stand alone to hang on a wall, not all of those images would work that way, but all the images as a whole show the whole story.
MW: How long have you been into photography?
JK: It wasn't until my third year of college until I got a camera. I was doing metalworking and jewelry before that. ...Then I got a camera and started doing that, and right about that time is when I got into riding as well. My dad had bikes so he put me on one of his, so about the time I was learning to shoot I was learning to ride, so they always went hand-in-hand. That was in about 2003.
MW: Did you study any other forms of art?
JK: I have turned what I learned in my jewelry class into building bikes. I put a lot of little detail into my bikes that you don't necessarily notice when you are riding by on the street but when you look at it closely there's a lot of detail. I have done a lot of engraving on the engine parts. I basically make everything. ...At one time it was music, playing guitar. That was my life.
MW: What kind of cameras do you use?
JK: I have always used the Canon 5D series. I don't have a special bag or anything for my camera so whatever element I'm riding in, that's what the camera sees. If it's raining, it's getting wet. It seems like just about the time the next generation (of camera) comes out I have ruined the camera and I'll get the newer one. I'm on the 5D Mark III right now. I wore the whole corner off one of them because it was rubbing on the tire of my bike.
MW: Have you had your work published?
JK: Oh yeah, but in the publishing game there's no money now. They don't want to pay. Everybody is a photographer now, and you have all these people with their 9-to-5 jobs giving their stuff away. They want nothing more than to see their work published in a magazine, so the editors rely on that. ...I shoot for a lot of magazines in Europe still. They still have a lot of respect (for photographers), and their print quality is really nice.
MW: Do you have plans for other exhibits or a book of your photographs?
JK: No, I don't typically do exhibits. Now that I have gone through all my images I definitely have plans to put out a book. It's something I should have done a long time ago. The book will probably be a spinoff of this show.
MW: What can you tell me about your chopper?
JK: It's a Harley-Davidson 1977 Sportster. It is what it is because I didn't have a penny to my name and I didn't have the knowledge to build it and then it became my goal to build the entire bike by myself without any help. What that did is it opened up the door for when I'm out on the road, if something happens, well, "I built it, I'll fix it." I know every nut and bolt on that bike. ...The appeal of a chopper is that it's an extension of yourself. ...I'll take a stock gas tank, I'll cut it in half, I'll narrow it, I'll dish sections of it and reshape it, I'll take a fender and add some ribbing around it, I'll take a frame and cut all the gussets and mounts out of it and make my own. If it's stock, I have to make it my own. My bike came out of not having a penny to my name when I built it. It was, "Well, I have this frame. It's not exactly what I want but there's this front end that my dad's not going to use because you can't fit a front brake on it." It was a 70s long-frame chopper, which was the exact opposite of what I wanted at the time, but I just made it work. A friend had a gas tank that he had cut in half but it wouldn't hold fuel, so he whipped it across the shop and said I could have it. I made it work. I made the sissy bar, and a friend gave me a fender. I think I paid two bucks for it. I made the oil tank from scratch and the handlebars were given to me by a friend.
MW: How many miles a year do you put on it?
JK: I couldn't tell you. I don't have an odometer. Most of the miles come from everyday riding, and you can't really calculate those in your head. I ride every day. ...Just this year, I went to Louisville and back, I went to Sturgis, I did a ride from San Francisco to Brooklyn, I rode back to Chicago by myself, then I immediately rode around Lake Michigan. I don't know how many miles that is. That was a month of riding every day.
MW: How do you decide when and where to ride?
JK: I'm a very indecisive person, so I can't ever commit to anything because I know something could come up tomorrow and I'll be in California. All of this travel mainly has to do with jobs, and I think people don't realize that. ...I do work for Harley-Davidson, and that's how I have been able to let go of the magazine and publishing stuff. I'll test-ride bikes for Harley, or they will fly me out to California to pick up a bike and ride it. One of them was a ride from Seattle to Sturgis. The trip across the U.S. was for a documentary movie but I don't know when that will come out. People ask me to shoot weddings and stuff, but I can't commit to a wedding a year in advance. I don't know what's going to come up.
MW: Do you camp when you're on the road, or do you sleep in hotels?
JK: It's all different. The stuff you'll see in the museum, that's all with my close group of friends and those weren't for jobs. Those were just us doing what we do. In those cases, we sleep wherever. There are photos of us sleeping behind an abandoned farm. We always look for a water source because that's where we bathe and wash off. We don't stay in campgrounds or hotels. ...We travel a lot so we know people all over the U.S. so there's always somebody within a couple hundred miles who will take us in and feed us for the night. The flip side of it is, I could be sleeping in some famous person's mansion one night and sleeping in a ditch the next. Those rich and famous people love motorcycles too. ...I'll never pay for a hotel. If it's part of a job and someone else is paying, that's what I'll do. One time Harley told me they were paying $500 a night for a hotel and I was like, "Are you kidding me? I'll sleep in the bushes outside the hotel and you can give me that $500."
MW: Is it part of Harley's corporate culture to support the arts and use creative people like you to sell their motorcycles?
JK: The guy I have been dealing with, I met him years ago. He came up to me and said, "Man, I have been following your blog for years and I have been taking photos off of it and telling our ad agency, 'This is how we need our ads to look.' But then they hire somebody else to copy your photos to do the ads – somebody the ad agency already has." I have friends who have been on those shoots as makeup (artists) or stylists or models and they'll tell me, "They've got a semi trailer with your pictures plastered all up inside of it." They reference them, and they copy them, but they won't hire me to do the ad. They see something they like and they don't understand it, but they're like, "That's cool," and then they'll copy it and put their own twist on it, and it is usually cheesy and dumb.
MW: What is life on the road like?
JK: When I started doing it, it was because of a (bad) thing that happened in my life and I just needed to go. I didn't know anybody and I didn't have a penny to my name. But if you're a kind person, people take kindly to you and you get what you give. I'm just trying to be a good person as much as I can.
MW: Being a good person seems counter to a lot of peoples' perceptions of biker culture.
JK: It's the people outside the culture that look at it that way. It's not the people on bikes. ...I moved to Cherry Valley a couple years ago and I didn't know anybody there, and I travel so much I'm never there. In the winter months I'll go to a bar, and people will say, "Oh there's a biker bar over there." That's the last place I want to go. I don't want to go to a biker bar. I want to go where there are open-minded people hanging out – the artists and freaks and hipsters and weirdos. I would wear a leather jacket and I'd sit there and drink whiskey and no one would talk to me. If I changed into a denim jacket, all of a sudden people thought, "Hey, that guy isn't so bad."
MW: Do you have any plans for this riding season yet?
JK: I never have a plan. I have been so focused on this exhibit that I haven't thought about anything else.

After butter and mayonnaise, the frontier of new foods to deep fry is growing frighteningly bleak. Fortunately there are brave souls out there thinking outside the box.
Artist and photographer Henry Hargeaves, a Brooklyn-based New Zealander, recently shocked audiences with his photos of deep-fried gadgets like the iPod, MacBook, Game Boy and iPad. But all is not quite as it seems.
"I recreated the gadgets from foamcore," says Hargreaves. "My pockets aren't deep enough to sacrifice all that stuff for fun."
Like greasy food, there's growing concern over the long-term repercussions of the world's consumption of electronics. The harmful chemicals in obsolete and discarded gadgets collect in dumps (usually in Asia) with toxic consequences for the environment, like so much artery-clogging fat sediment.
"I'm as guilty about getting excited about the latest Apple product," says Hargreaves. "I see a connection between tech and fastfood culture, both are fetishized, quickly consumed then discarded."
The approximately 245 million cell phones in the United States, for example, have an average lifespan of 18 months, with 900 million already put out to pasture. About 150 million are retired each year, and in an interview with the Environmental Protection Agency, Seth Heine CEO and President of Collective Good, estimates that only 30 million of those are actually recycled.
The interesting juxtaposition here is that deep frying is hardly gourmand when it comes to cooking, and yet the newest devices are designed and marketed as ever sleeker, lighter and sophisticated. The visual dissonance that marinates in Deep Fried Gadgets is typical of Hargreave's penchant for surreal juxtaposition — just see his M&M's as fine art, Bacon Alphabet, Lollipop Penis and icons made of toast.
"I was itching to deep fry some things that you wouldn't usually find near a fryer and thought, 'Why not start with my phone?' I love creating strange cultural mashups."
As for the deep fryer itself, the art project was the last outing for the vat of oil. "The MP3 player had silver paint on it. It and the oil didn't get along very well," says Hargreaves.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

#1 Dem resolution warns climate change could push women to transactional sex04-29-2013, 04:27 PM
Several House Democrats are calling on Congress to recognize that climate change is hurting women more than men, and could even drive poor women to "transactional sex" for survival.
The resolution, from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and a dozen other Democrats, says the results of climate change include drought and reduced agricultural output. It says these changes can be particularly harmful for women.
"[F]ood insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health," it says.

ShipIt::VC -- abstract base class for version control systems
# done for you, elsewhere ... ShipIt::VC->new($conf) # get your instance from your state handle: $vc = $state->vc; # then $vc->commit($msg); $vc->tag_version("1.25"[, $msg]); $vc->exists_tagged_version("1.25"); # 1 $vc->local_diff("ChangeLog"); # returns diff of changelog
ShipIt::VC is an abstract base class, with a factory method 'new' to return a subclass instance for the version control system detected to be in use.
Rather than using 'new' directly, you should call your ShipIt::State $state's "vc" accessor method, which returns a memoized (er, singleton) instance of ShipIt::VC->new.
Commit all outstanding changes in working copy to repo, with provided commit message.
Tag the current version (already committed) as the provided version number.
Returns true if the given version is already tagged.
Returns diff of $file from what's on the server compared to the local on-disk copy.
Returns bool, if any files on disk are uncommitted.

Euro's Advance
The shared currency has appreciated 4.1% over the past three months and 7.2% over the past six, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, which track 10 developed-nation currencies. It has climbed more than 10% on a trade-weighted basis since Draghi's pledge in July.
Draghi spurred gains in the euro last month when he spoke of "positive contagion" in financial markets and a return to economic growth later this year. The ECB cut its benchmark rate to a record low of 0.75% in July.
"Concerns of a break-up of the single currency and general global economic concerns have eased," Alan Wilde, head of fixed-income and currencies in London at Baring Asset Management, which oversees $53 billion, said in a telephone interview on Feb. 14. "Some of these tail risks have dissipated as actions have been taken and markets have gained more confidence."
The gross domestic product-weighted average of 10-year government bond yields in Italy, Spain and Portugal has collapsed since July. That narrowed their premium to rates in seven AAA rated countries outside the currency bloc to 2.54 percentage points, close to the least since July 2011.
Allocation Moderating
Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland have top AAA grades and stable outlooks from Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.
The currencies of Canada, Australia and Singapore have tumbled against the euro by as much as 9.6% in the past six months. Denmark's krone is linked to the shared currency. Finland, another top-rated nation, is in the euro bloc.
"Capital was flowing out of the euro zone -- some went to the Swiss franc obviously, some went into other currencies like the Australian dollar," said Andrew Salter, a foreign-exchange strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Sydney. "That allocation is now moderating" as the ECB has stepped behind the peripheral-bond markets.
Bond Buying
Since the ECB made its unlimited bond-buying proposal, peripheral-debt yields have retreated even though no euro members have yet taken up the central bank's offer, which grants support for countries that sign up to economic reforms.
Net portfolio investment in Spain climbed for a fourth month in November to reach the highest since May 2006.
"I'm long on the euro and short on the Australian dollar," said Akira Takei, head of the international fixed- income department in Tokyo at Mizuho Asset Management Co., which oversees about $35 billion. "The ECB has made it clear that it won't let its member states default on their debt."
Takei said he holds more Italian and Spanish notes than his benchmark index and sees the euro strengthening to $1.42 this year. The median estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg is for the euro to end this year at $1.31. The shared currency gained 0.3% to $1.3387 at 12:49 p.m. in New York.
Draghi told reporters on Feb. 7 the euro's appreciation is a sign that confidence has returned to the currency. While the exchange rate isn't a policy target, it is "important for growth and price stability," he said.

I took him for a walk around our yard. He's a small dog and we have almost 3 acres of land, so it makes a good walk for him. He spotted a skunk and took off after it. I wasn't expecting it, so I didn't have a very firm grip on it. He got a good shot. Then the skunk hustled under a storage shed in our yard. I'm assuming that's what it calls home. This has happened to us before: another house and another dog, but we know the drill. I gave him a bath. No tomato juice - that's just an old myth. My wife wanted to sprinkle coffee grounds on him while he was getting his bath. Supposedly they soak up the smell. I'm skeptical. Otherwise, I just used dog shampoo, and lathered him up good twice. It was messy and unpleasant. We also rubbed some baking soda into his fur after his coat dried. That makes more sense to me. The house still smells some today, not as bad as the last time our dog got skunked. One difference is we don't have nearly as much carpeting in the house now. I think fabric probably soaks up the smells. Our dog still smells some, but it's very faint. I also bought a product at the local Tractor Supply store that is supposed to neutralize skunk smell. We can use that in the laundry to get the smell out of our clothing. In any case that's the last episode of a dog getting skunked that I ever want to have to deal with.
Now we have to figure out how to make the skunk feel unwelcome under our storage shed.

11 Warwick students sing tonight in EG
Tonight, eleven Warwick students will take stage at the 1st Evangelical Lutheran Church in East Greenwich to perform in the Twelfth Annual Songs of Christmas Concert. The concert is a recital for students of vocal teacher Phoebe Madden. Other students of Madden's from across the state will join the Warwick singers to perform both sacred and secular holiday songs. Six of the students are from Toll Gate High School, and though Madden said they are renown for their athletic ability at their school, their voices are strong, too. Other Warwick students are from Cedar Hill, Rocky Hill and Our Lady of Mercy schools.
The event is at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. The 1st Evangelical Church is located at 118 Division Street in East Greenwich.
"They sound like angels," Madden said of her students. "And in these difficult times, people need to hear these hopeful voices."

Div footer alignment in IE and FF
I'm currently trying to rebuild an old website that had to be taken down because it was hacked. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to redo the templates, etc. (The whole site needs restructuring, anyway.)
I want a header, a left hand menu, content and then a footer with text that is centred to the width of the screen, not the width of the content.
My div page is as follows:
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #001166;
#header {
background: #001166;
background-color: #001166;
text-align: center;
height: 66px;
padding-top: 33px;
padding-bottom: 33px;
#menu {
background: #001166;
float: left;
height: 100%;
width: 18%;
padding-left: 10px;
#content {
background: #ffffff;
float: right;
width: 80%;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 55px;
padding-left: 5px;
#footer {
background: #001166;
padding: 0px;
clear: none;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
height: 50px;
It works exactly as I want in IE7, but in Firefox, the footer content ends up in the menu content, rather than separated from it.
I've been going round in circles for a while now, so I can't remember what I had before. It used to be fine in Firefox, but in IE the footer would be at the bottom of the screen, and when you scrolled down, it went up. (As in, it didn't stay at the bottom of the screen always.) That may have been when I was using a container div. I know at one point I managed to get the same bug - the set at bottom of first screen footer - on Firefox as well.
Any suggestions welcome.

look into 'clear' you footer... good practice to get into
also look into 'positioning' and 'float'

I had forgotten "float", thanks. It's there in the others, but not the footer.
I've added float: right; and everything looks hunky-dory again.

Thread: A Small Favor Please..........
#1 A Small Favor Please..........10-23-2012, 09:45 PM
Dear Friends:
There is less than 1 month until election day when the people will decide who will be the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans. It's time that we all need to come together, Democrats and Republicans alike. In a bi-partisan effort for America :
If you support Mitt Romney, please drive with your headlights ON during the day.
If you support Barack Obama, please drive with your headlights OFF at night.
Together, we can make it happen. Thank you!It's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.
A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes. Gandhi
10-23-2012, 10:12 PMMay the FORCE be with you!
If they support 0blowme their lights are always out."The beauty of the Second Amendment is that you won't need it until they try to take it away."---Thomas Jefferson

Recently, someone asked on a Christian Website: How should you celebrate the day after Easter?
We've all heard the debates over how to celebrate the actual holiday, with Christians arguing with each other over whether or not the pagan symbols of eggs, furry bunnies and marshmallow Peeps are spiritually detrimental.
But the day after Easter? Don't we all just go back to work with leftover ham sandwiches in our lunch boxes?

Ah what a fun thread. But since I hardly visit the General Chat section, you folks convinced me enough to jump in here
To start off my opinion, I want to share an article that I read on Yahoo 6 years ago, I don't have a link because Yahoo changed so much since then, but it's a hilarious read and probably the reason why I saved it:
Spoiler for Yahoo article:
While I do share some of those opinions, my love of girls wearing skirts is a lot more hilarious than that. You see, I come from Germany (make that Deutschmark Germany before the whole EU thing), and there was hardly a girl wearing a skirt. I know we're a 4 season country, but that doesn't mean they had to wear those jeans all 4 seasons, sure there were the occasional skirt here and there, but it's comparable to 1 in every 500 girls. I won't talk about the nightlife there because that's not casual wear. The only woman I regularly saw in a skirt was my mom, but that's my mother, man
That's not it though. When I moved to the USA, I think the change was too much of a shock: I went to LA, California, and it's hot, right? Oh my, there was like 1 in every 5 girls wearing a skirt, and any variation of it, mini skirt, thigh length you name it. I always loved going to the malls just to see these girls and their girlfriends dolled up (That always amused me too, it was the first time I regularly saw a bunch of girls hanging out together) Not long after that I entered the corporate world and fell in love with the business suit girls in knee length skirts (not the pants suit type, that makes them look like.... the First Lady )
So my love of the skirt is defined by a simple rule: if it's not jeans, then . I eventually generalized it by "a single piece of cloth that wraps around a girls butt", which is probably too general, but that experience I went through in Germany probably aided in me wanting to become a fashion designer just so I can change their perception of pants. Anything but the pants!... which is a bit odd, since I'm somewhat a fan of girls in hot pants, which could mean since I'm a leg fetish, it must not have been the skirts, but rather I didn't like girls imprisoning their wonderful legs in jeans...
Anyways, this post won't be complete without some pics, so here you go!
Spoiler for (slightly nsfw) skirt love!:
And last but not least, the avatar that started my insanity, from one of my top 5 series of all time, of a girl who transcends space and time, Aoba Kozue! (and all 4 of her egos )
Look at her! Not her butt you scumbag, I mean look at her, she's cleaning the tub wearing a sweater and a skirt. A SKIRT!!!
I mean seriously, PH is practically a 2 season country, rain or shine, and yet where the skirts at

My preferred type of skirt is one where the hem is wider than the waist. I want flowing movement to my skirts. So I pretty much love pleated skirts and dislike pencil skirts.
The school uniform dress from Yuru Yuri is one of my favorite school uniforms from anime. At first you think it's a normal pleated skirt but then you notice that it's a dress that's pleated all the way to the chest. Couple that with the jacket/blouse/whatever and it looks simply fabulous!

I just realized that one of my pages got a nice comment, but I had to open that page first to realize it was there. So, I'm wondering whether it's possible to add a feature where users will get notified whenever one of their layouts has received a comment? (Other galleries will have a kind of message tracker, telling you how many messages you've received, and if you frequently visit that site, you'll know immediately when someone has commented on a page.)
Notification for comments and messages you receive [partly done]
Yep, this feature is on the to do
Sitting here smiling! You guys are great, so thank you thank you!
love that this is in the works!
Great news Jordan! I actually got emails the first two weeks when someone commented on one of my layouts, which was really working out for me... and then it stopped... bummer But having this onsite will make up for the loss of those emails Thank you so much for all the great alterations you are doing, it's just getting better and better!
Yeah, thank you!
I'm glad that one's coming. It's a great idea.
Oh goodie, we need this!
Are you planning to set things up so that we will receive email notification? That would be great! Currently, I don't know how to check for comments or responses to anything! I don't always remember where I posted a question, for instance. Thank you!
Thank you for adding this awesome feature!
Yes, Cindy, I'm hoping to get a notification system up sometime in the next few weeks... will post more once I've made some progress
This will be great on the galleries too! Thanks for all the work!
YAY!!! I'm so looking forward to this feature.
I would really like that as well, and it would be nice if the email notification could include the comments made so you can hold on to them & refer back to them (in case they offer constructive criticism that you could learn from ).
Yes please - I left a comment on one person's blog because I was not sure if she'd find my post in a particularly active thread. I'm not moaning mind, I think you have done a wonderful job here and its fun watching it build and devlop too.
bump to top... so people will see this has already been answered...
bump... still a great idea.
cant wait for this, its my most waned feature. would also be nice if we could "subscribe" to notifications from particular threads, or designers.

Student or Learner
Please what is the meaning of stereotype in a simple way? can you give me examples? can you give me synonyms?
yes, but I didn't understand.
A fixed general image that is considered to represent a particular type of person or thing.
It's hard to understand. Can anybody help?
Stereotypes are a depiction of a group of people, often based on some truths, but exaggerated. They are usually considered offensive because not every member of any group is the same and relying on stereotypes instead of judging people as individuals can be damaging to all involved.
Common ones include that French people are rude and eat frogs. Britons have poor teeth. Americans are obese and disinterested in other nations. Arabs only enjoy blowing things up. Italians are all oily and eat spaghetti.
(1) Your question is a hot potato, as we say in the United States. (Well. at least some of us older people do.) Hot potato = a super controversial subject that people do not want to discuss.
(2) The word stereotype is used in a negative sense, as one of the posters explained
in his excellent post. If you come to the United States, never repeat in public any of
those stereotypes that were mentioned in his post. If you do, you will hurt some
people's feelings. There are some stereotypes that are so powerful that you will
lose your job if you say them out loud; and if you say them to certain people, those
people may physically attack you!
(3) Of course, a few people feel that a stereotype is nothing more than a
generalization. If 75% of Group X eats only vanilla ice cream, can we say that
most Group Xers eat only vanilla ice cream? If you do, many people will accuse you
of stereotyping Group X!
(4) Thus you should do what most people do: keep your opinions to yourself. If you
think that a certain group does. indeed, have a large percentage of members who
act in a similar way (especially in a bad way), do not say anything.
Thanks TheParser. I understood it.

Vulgar Statistics: Stanley Cup Finals
And we are here. The number of teams has been whittled from thirty down to sixteen down to two. There can be only one winner of this 100-something game contest and it will come from one of the two most populated areas in the country. Kings! Devils! On BBG!
There's only one way to say it, the Kings have been better than the Devils in virtually every phase during their run to the Stanley Cup Finals, but what does that really mean? You can admire what each team has done to get here and yet you can question the competition as well. The Kings ran through a Canucks team minus Daniel Sedin, a Blues team minus Alex Pietrangelo and Jaroslav Halak, and a Coyotes team minus Raffi Torres. Not exactly the most back-breaking of injuries to those three clubs, but making them incomplete puzzles nonetheless. Meanwhile the Devils barely beat a Florida team no one thought was any good, a Flyers team everyone thought was very good, and a Rangers team minus Brandon Dubinsky that felt like it had already started writing its name on the cup. Hmm.
What's more impressive, the Devils shutting down a Flyers team that looked unstoppable and finding just enough to beat Henrik Lundqvist, or the Kings' sterling 12-2 record and +20 goal differential heading into the Finals? (Not to mention beating the top two seeds and technically-but-not-really the third seed out West.) Both teams have played every series on the road to get here. The numbers look like this:
#6 New Jersey
- beat Florida 4-3 (18-17)
- beat Philadelphia 4-1 (18-11)
- beat New York 4-2 (15-14)
- Playoff Power Play – 17.9%
- Playoff Penalty Kill – 73.8%
- Record in One Goal Games – 6-2
- Record in Overtime – 4-1
#8 Los Angeles
- beat Vancouver 4-1 (12-7)
- beat St. Louis 4-0 (15-6)
- beat Phoenix 4-1 (14-8)
- Playoff Power Play – 8.1%
- Playoff Penalty Kill – 91.2%
- Record in One Goal Games – 4-0
- Record in Overtime – 2-0
New Jersey over Los Angeles in 6 games – It's tough to know what to make of both of these teams. The Los Angeles Kings are talented at every position, play in a soft division, and yet fumbled their way to the eighth seed. The New Jersey devils put up over 100 points, and you can blame their seeding on their difficult division, but for the majority of the series versus Florida, they looked like they kind of deserved the 6th seed. Will Jonathan Quick's run of fantastical luck end? Will eighth place Los Angeles show up? Can they keep Richards and Carter from boozing it up? Just how old is Martin Brodeur, really? How's Ilya Kovalchuk's back?
I'm taking New Jersey in six games. I think they have a slight edge in every phase of the game. I think Brodeur is still better than Quick. I think the Jersey defense is slightly stingier than LA's, and I think at least two of Ilya Kovalchuk, Patrik Elias, and Zach Parise are better than anyone Los Angeles can put on the ice.
- @jmsexauer – 35 (9-5)
- @MotzQuotes – 30 (7-7)
- @CriminallyVu1ga – 30 (7-7)
- @PhilBBG – 29 (8-6)
- @eduva16 – 24 (6-8)
- @MarkMiller30 – 23 (6-8)
- @StephanieZD – 22 (6-8)
- @buffalo620 – 18 (5-9)
- @CarlHatt – 17 (5-9)
So Jon has wrapped things up. Better luck next year me! (And…yeah…the rest of you also.)

Everyone's grasping at reasons for the Bruins' inconsistency and looking for a scape goat.
If it were up to readers of TheBruinsBlog.net, the man behind the bench would be blamed.
Here's the result of this morning's poll:
Who do you blame for the Bruins' inconsistency?
- Claude Julien (58%, 175 Votes)
- Players (38%, 115 Votes)
- Peter Chiarelli (4%, 13 Votes)
Total Voters: 302
Today on his weekly interview with the Felger and Mazz show on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Bruins President Cam Neely tried to not sound like he was anywhere but behind head coach Claude Julien. However, after talking about the team's mindset and inability to get off to better starts in games, Neely was asked point-blank: is Julien's job is safe.
"Yeah," he replied, "but everybody's accountable. We've got expectations we all want to meet from the top on down through the players. We've improved the last three years. We've had improvement. We feel that we have a better club. We feel like we've added more skill, but we're all ultimately at the end of the day held accountable for how the team performs."
Obviously, Neely wasn't going to declare his coach is on the verge of an exit on a radio show. Nonetheless, he didn't give him a vote of confidence or make a commitment to Julien either. Should things not turn around soon — and that means not just winning, but winning with a few full-game efforts — it would seem Neely, in his role as all-powerful manager of the entire organization, would make someone — or multiple people — accountable. And in pro sports, that usually means taking away someone's job.

Noting '"the rising threat to Israel's rights in the General Assembly and in other United Nations forums,'' Scali. said the U.S. should make a "concrete response" although he did not elaborate on what it should be. Scali also stressed that peace would not be easy to achieve in the Mideast and will be costly to all parties concerned.

JERUSALEM, (JTA) —' Premier -Yitzhak Rabin, evidently buoyed by what he said was an overall im¬ provement ■'-: in Israel's political position in recent weeks, lined up May 27 with the "hawkish" elements of his Labor Alignment who support the government's refusal to offer further territorial concessions without commensurate Arab commitments to non - belligerency. In a speech that marked the end of a three - week marathon debate between "hawks" and "doves" in the Labor Alignment's leadership and Knesset faction, Rabin vigorously defended his government's refusal to come forth unilaterally at this time with a definitive overall peace plan, including maps delineating Israel's future* borders. Such a move by Israel had been urged by former Foreign Minister Abba Eban, veteran Mapam leaders Meir Talmi and Yaacob Hazan, and others who maintained that it was up to Israel lo take the initiative to break the present negotiations im¬ passe, especially in light of its strained relations with the United States. But Rabin asserted flatly that.Israel would never return to its pre - j June 1967 borders and warned that if his govern¬ ment drafted a precise peace program at this time, what Israel offered as its maximal concessions would be taken by • the Arabs as nothing more than an initial bargaining position that could be whittled down. Rabin, who will have his fateful summit meeting with President Ford in Washington June 11-12, drew no maps but in effect presented a broad outline of future frontiers from which . he indicated that Israel will never retreat. He said that Israel would insist on a permanent presence in Sinai of a yet undetermined depth but which must include a land link to Sharm el-Sheikh at the southeastern tip of the peninsula. Rabin pledged ' (CONTINUED ON PAGE 101

Mich. kids go looking for cherries, find pot instead
PAW PAW, Mich.- Some children out picking cherries with their father in southwestern Michigan ended up finding about 50 marijuana plants in a farmer's field along the way. Lt. Robert Kirk of the Van Buren County sheriff's department tells MLive.com that the family called shortly after 10 p.m. Wednesday to report the discovery. Kirk says it appears that someone pulled out a row of corn and planted the marijuana, knowing that the farmer's field would be fertilized and watered. In cases like this, Kirk says whoever planted the marijuana would usually come back before the corn was harvested. Sheriff's deputies pulled up the marijuana plants and they will be destroyed. Authorities say it's common for marijuana growers to try to hide plants farmers' fields this way.

– New WWE announcer Renee Young discussed which talent has been most helpful to her since she joined WWE, during an interview with Gerry Strauss of The Layfield Report.
"Someone that has been really helpful to me would definitely be Michael Cole. He is very honest and great to bounce ideas off of. He is really a great guy that's been such a backbone for WWE's broadcast team for a long time, so he is usually the man with the answers and ideas for me. Also, Tony Dawson and I were hired roughly around the same time and he's been a great support system too. And, of course, Matt Striker and Scott Stamford… those guys are both so good at what they do and I always grow a little bit each time I work with them. Very quick and witty, those two gems are. But so many of the producers and management at WWE have been amazing, a lot of really great people there.
The most helpful thing I've learned, and this is dating back to before I even started at WWE, but it's being able to trust myself and have fun. I work in the business of entertainment. If I'm having fun, it's easier for people watching to have fun too."

SALISBURY, England — Trussell Trust was founded here more than a decade ago to help starving children in Bulgaria, but in recent years the nonprofit has expanded its mission dramatically in a once-unthinkable direction, opening more than 200 food banks across the United Kingdom.
This year alone, the centers have distributed free groceries to about 130,000 British families, more than double the number in 2011.
"The fact that people need food in 21st-century Britain is certainly shocking," said Molly Hodson, a spokeswoman for the trust, as she sorted canned beans at the Trussell Trust clearinghouse recently. "This is a time of crisis in the UK."
As US political leaders debate tax increases and spending cuts to close the nation's budget deficit, England is implementing deep cuts in government spending as part of a multiyear plan to halt a widening budget gap and and preserve the country's AAA credit rating. But two years of austerity have backfired as a struggling economy slipped back into recession and a plan that was supposed to bring deficits under control within five years will take longer than predicted.
In many ways, it is a cautionary tale for political leaders in Washington who face a Jan. 1 deadline to reach a budget compromise before a series of automatic spending cuts and tax increases take effect. About $500 billion in US government spending cuts will take effect unless President Obama and Congress reach an agreement.
Some economists, noting England's malaise, said such measures would defy generally accepted economic views that cutting spending at a time of economic weakness only hurts the economy more.
"An austerity drive now would raise our already painfully high unemployment rate and might trigger another recession," said economist Peter Diamond, a Nobel laureate and professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "If the cuts are big enough, it can derail the economy and set it back, which is what we are seeing in Britain."
Britain's Parliament, led by Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, enacted steep spending reductions when his coalition government took office in 2010. Most departments were required to slash at least 25 percent from their budgets, shaving $180 billion from the nation's $1.4 trillion debt.
The government estimated 66,000 public jobs would be lost in the first two years of austerity, but so far about 372,000 have been eliminated, according to Lombard Street Research, a London forecasting firm.
The Cameron government also imposed a wage freeze for all but the lowest tiers of government workers, tougher requirements to qualify for public housing and disability payments, and massive cuts to the welfare system.
At the same time, the sales tax on most goods and services was raised to 20 percent from 17.5 percent and capital gains taxes on investments increased to 28 percent. Corporate taxes were reduced to 24 percent from 28 percent over five years to encourage business growth and hiring.
Cameron said the measures were necessary for a nation facing its largest-ever peacetime debt, a financial abyss that grew deeper after a massive taxpayer bailout of the nation's banking industry in 2008 and 2009.
The government and its supporters concede that these steps are painful in the short term, but argue they will maintain the confidence of financial markets, attract business and investment, and lead to prosperity, much as the austerity policies of Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s revived a moribund British economy.
Earlier this month, George Osborne, chancellor of the exchequer, the government's top financial official, announced that austerity measures would need to be extended into 2018 because of a slower recovery than forecast, which he blamed on the broader economic slowdown in Europe. But Osborne asserted that the bitter economic medicine was beginning to show results, as evidenced by the flow of investment into British government bonds, a sign of increasing confidence in the UK economy.
"It's a hard road, but we are getting there," Osborne told the House of Commons. "Britain is on the right track — and turning back now would be a disaster."
The British economy had appeared to be recovering from its own housing bust and financial crisis, but spending cuts enacted in 2010 began to take a toll by the end of that year, and Britain slipped into a double-dip recession.
"The consumer died, and at the same time, Europe, the UK's biggest trading partner, went into a tailspin," said Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics a forecasting firm in Valhalla, N.Y.
Nearly everyone in Britain has been affected or knows someone who has been affected. Labor unions have launched protests against measures that slashed jobs, benefits, and public pensions. One in five people between the ages of 16 and 24 are out of work. Job opportunities are scarce — even with a university degree.
Like many who graduated from college since the global financial crisis four years ago, Jonathan Fry, 25, has struggled to find full-time work. He signed up for a volunteer police force in South London in the hope it will lead to something more, taking a 16-hour training course to qualify. But he understands the reality — police hiring is down in an era of budget cutting.
"The hardest thing to do is find a job," Fry said on a recent day at a South London food bank, where he also donates his time. "I'm just biding my time."
Derek Wade, was a high school teacher before government cutbacks cost him his job. Today, he works as a security guard, recently on location at a construction site in Central London, not far from Buckingham Palace, earning much less.
Wade, 47, said he landed the security job after a year of unemployment, but the stress of that period contributed to the end of his 22-year marriage. Now, the father of four lives alone in a small apartment outside London.
"It's tough," he said. "You have to believe in yourself, believe that you'll always land on your feet."
While the UK economy improved around the Olympics this past summer, officials have predicted another decline at the end of this year. About 2.6 million people were unemployed in October, about 1 million or 60 percent more than at the start of the recession in 2008. The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent, about the same as the United States, but is expected to rise.
For those near the bottom of Britain's economic ladder, daily living has become desperate.
Brenda Nanteza and her 7-year-old son have been homeless for nearly two years, spending nights at the homes of friends and acquaintances.
Nanteza, who emigrated from Uganda to London as a college student, dropped out of school when she had her son and worked as a housecleaner. But those jobs have dried up. Without money to buy food and other basics, she frequents food banks while her son is in school.
"I don't know what to do anymore," Nanteza said. "You just can't keep moving from couch to couch."
The government plans to reduce billions more in spending on welfare benefits and overseas development in 2013, redirecting money into improvements for roadways and bridges, according to Robin Twyman, first secretary for trade and business affairs at the British Embassy in Washington.
"We got into this mess because of borrowing and we can't get ourselves out of it by borrowing," Twyman said.
But the cuts, and the recessions, have exacted a toll. Salisbury taxi driver John Reading, 74, said he can't afford to buy a pint anymore and has watched pubs in his town close. Many young people avoid them to save money for other pursuits while older regulars do without. "Everybody's struggling, apart from the very rich," he said.
Reading said he still works because his retirement investments and government pension — akin to Social Security in the United States — have shrunk.
Yet Reading said he is luckier than some. Unlike unemployed construction and factory workers whose fortunes depend on the revival of industries, he can still drive his 20-year-old cab with more than 400,000 kilometers — or just under 250,000 miles — on its odometer.
"Look at the faces of most workers, they're all a bit drawn," Reading said. "We're all worried."Megan Woolhouse can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @megwoolhouse.

City establishes information registry
In an emergency situation, few things are as important as having a way to get reliable information and Crossroads residents have a new way to do just that.Officials with the Big Spring Police Department recently announced the creation of a system that will allow residents to receive critical information about the community by text message or e-mail.According to Lt. Lance Telchik, director of the support services division for the BSPD, the West Texas Regional Communications Registry will allow residents to receive important and timely messages regarding what is going on in the Crossroads area."The city of Big Spring is now providing local residents a way to receive critical and important information about their community," Telchik said. "In addition to emergency notifications, residents are also invited to sign-up to receive local information which impacts their lives and their communities and receive it in the way they choose, by text message or by e-mail."The new system allows local agencies to offer a variety of information to the people who live and work in their area and who want to be informed of critical emergency information, as well as other key information. This is a free service provided by the city of Big Spring and is part of a larger, regional effort made up of several nearby counties."For more information on the West Texas Regional Communications Registry, visit mybigspring.com or bigspringpd.net and click the link.

With so many people fuzzy-warm about a recent gun buyback program that collected hundreds of BB guns, revolvers, shotguns, pistols, a fake AK-47, tear gas cannister shooter, rifles and other firearms, it's important to note that the bad guys kept their weapons.
I had only a short stay at the Penetecostal Assembly of God Church on North Clinton Ave., one of two locales, including Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church, where people exchanged money for guns.
These sections of town had never seen such a wave of Caucasian men carrying some form of pistola — not counting the police officers, of course.
Yeah, getting any gun off the street is a good idea but suburban guys improving their cash flow makes this guy buyback effort seem misguided.
White people have not been shooting up Trenton in a take-no-prisoners effort. I have seen the enemy and they look like me or one of my Latino friends. So, a certain level of astonishment occurred as white men moved toward the payout window.
The gun buyback initiative distributed approximately $300,000, more than double the expected amount with a good portion of the money being paid out for guns worth a far amount less that what gun owners received in this cash-for-cache deal.
No great concern exists for deer hunters. People who hold up hard working employees behind counters, pizza deliverers and taxi drivers are not turning in their guns.
Their bullets and firearms remain as keepsakes for future crimes. Case in point, last weekend's shootout at Donnelly Homes left a 32-year-old woman in stable condition after she took one of 15 to 18 shots fired.
A report said that police are looking for three suspects in their late teens.
Call it a long shot — or a shot in the dark — but I will buy lunch for every employee at the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office if the perps are white.
While death and taxes receive great props, urban cities can point to violence, murder and crime as near certainties.
Sen. Shirley Turner deserves credit for her gun buyback intiative but Trenton could leap toward real improvement if politicians can put up money to reopen our libraries as real, healthy, worthwhile facilities for learning.
In passing, I want to thank all those old white gang members from Hopewell, Lawrence, and Allentown for turning in their guns.
Trenton is a safer place because of your significant transactions.

CV bias?
He also sent this to the TL.
Recently I have seen letters supporting Congressman Chris Carney as "brave and courageous." I dare Rep. Carney to tell me that he did not have a one-on-one meeting with Nancy Pelosi, the most liberal democrat in Congress. He changed his vote and his courageous and brave stance doomed many of the unborn. However that is a whole other letter.
There is a reason I don't trust the Citizen's Voice and it is this. Among research I noticed on opensecrets.org that James Haggerty Sr. has donated three thousand dollars to the campaign of Chris Carney. Matthew Haggerty has donated 2500.00 and Daniel Haggerty has donated eight hundred dollars to Rep. Carney. This wouldn't be an issue except that two are publishers and one is the General Manager of Times-Shamrock which owns our local Citizens Voice and Scranton Times. How am I supposed to read their endorsements knowing that they have invested money in candidates. I also researched the editors and managing staff of your news paper and there were no donations to candidates. I guess this clearly shows why the Times Leader is the newspaper to trust when it comes down to endorsements.
In the end, predictions don't matter when you have a horse in the race. Citizens voice has turned out to be biased and now should be seen as flawed when they make their endorsements this fall when it comes to candidates they monetarily supported. So if the Citizens Voice doesn't print your letter that is against Chris Carney's vote then perhaps this has set the record straight.
Paul Stebbins

Here are my sources for your review
Maybe he missed this LTE in yesterday's Voice
Reps. Carney and Kanjorski voted wrong on health care
I find the editorial section describing the "courageous" actions of congress downright insulting. If anything, this vote demonstrated how Congress is more interested in special deals and listening to party leadership than in respecting the wishes of their constituency. Chris Carney's 10th district is 5 to 4 Republican, yet he voted for a wasteful bill because "Americans deserve the same health care as congress." Unfortunately, Mr. Carney fails to understand that Americans are not allowed to spend money recklessly like their congressional counterparts.
Paul Kanjorski is worse. He essentially voted for the end of Sallie Mae in his own district with the Federal takeover of student loans. In this economy, he didn't place the interests of his constituents first.
I intend to vote against Carney in the upcoming election.

A health care vote was a vote for abortion? Please stop this silly BS. It has been made very clear that federal money cannot be used for abortion. What is it that makes working people fight against health care for 30 million Americans but these same people never said a public word about an unjust war in Iraq? How many people were killed, crippled and disfigured by that war and these principled individuals hold their tongues and don't send letters to the editor. Let's get our priorities straight. American's deserve health care and these useless wars must end. Amen!
- Pizza Pete said...
So Paul Stebbins think that those three individuals must give up their personal right to support the candidate who they think best represents their interests? That's unamerican!
besides putting people in prison or fining them how is this bill going to provide insurance? i have a better idea. if fat fucks stop eating pizza they wont need as much health care!

The definitive question about the media is this:
Do the OWNERS of the media sway the output of the media...or are the WORKERS in the media (journalists, etc...) FREE to write what they want?
Do the OWNERS of an industry control that industry's output, or do the workers?
The OWNERS do, because they OWN it.
Now, you can't have your cake and eat it too...
If the OWNERS of the CV sway the output of the CV...then the nationwide corporate OWNED mainstream media isn't liberal, because it's OWNED by 5 corporations and 90% conservatives. That's who OWNS the U.S. national mainstream media we're supposed to think is "liberal".
So, you can't say the CV sways Democratic because of their ownership...and then say the national mainstream media is liberal.
- Big Dan said...
Also, as a side story, the Times Leader is OWNED by Richard Connor, and he is a diehard Republican who, after the Times Leader broke the Sherwood/mistress choking story, they endorsed Sherwood anyway after Connor took over AND endorsed Rick Santorum.
So, let's be consistent across the board with ALL arguments.
- Pizza Pete said...
Media Liberal is just another sales pitch to steer the dumb Democrats into voting against their best interests by voting Republican. These same no brains who have the audacity to defame pizza eating also think Carney was wrong for having a one on one meeting with the Speaker of the House. Now that makes perfect sense. You need more pizza in your diet but you're going to have to go out of town to get it. NO pizza for you!
The Scranton Times/CV owners have endorsed democrats for decades- No surprise there. They throw softballs at democrats just like Connor's TL does to republicans. If you actually take a paper's endorsement as gospel you are a sheep. And as far as your stance on the "unborn" goes, I'm waiting for you bible-thumpers to raise the billions of dollars it takes to raise these "un-aborted" children right without fear of neglect and abuse. There are reasons for abortion, and I'm catholic & not for abortion for most reasons, and not all people are religious and hold those beliefs. I would say most abortions are done with the lower class people who neither have the intellect or money to support a child they don't want. Instead of patting yourself on the back for blocking abortions, prepare that safety net for the children that are unwanted & a target for abuse.
- Pizza Pete said...
9:28, you are obviously one of the very rare individuals who have either eaten too much pizza or not enough. You are a Catholic and against abortion for most reason? How about as a Catholic being against abortion for ANY reason. You actually believe that the majority of abortions are for poor people? Are you nuts or just pizza starved? Poor people have kids (according to many) as a full time business. They keep welfare running smoothly. I don't think a person had to be religious to believe that the Nazi's killing hundreds of thousands was a religious issue nor is killing the unborn. It isn't a religious issue, it is a moral issue. NO pizza for you.
- Austin said...
Even the most liberal version of the health care bill actually made getting an abortion a lot more expensive. It made sure that not only is federal or state money being used but that the economies of scale benefit is not used to lower the price of abortions.
It did all of this before the Stupak amendment.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I've been in an out of martial arts for years, and after watching the UFC I wanted to make a full commitment to martial arts. I love the purity of unarmed combat. Life is about testing yourself and seeing what you're really made of and I can think of no better way to test myself then MMA. MMA fighters are the closest thing we have to modern way warriors.

Ron Howard is one of Hollywood's top directors. He's been at the helm of numerous blockbusters and award-winning films, including the Academy Award-winning Cocoon, Apollo 13, How the Grinch Stole Christmas & A Beautiful Mind. In 2003, Howard was awarded the National Medal of Arts.
The filmmaker made his directorial debut in 1977, starring in a low-budget comedy he also wrote called Grand Theft Auto. The project was made possible by Roger Corman, who cut a deal with Ron in exchange for his starring in Eat My Dust! with Christopher Norris.
A former child star, Ron Howard rose to prominence with his portrayal of Opie Taylor on "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-1968). He began to focus on directing in the early 80's, leaving his gig playing teenager Richie Cunningham on the sitcom "Happy Days" to pursue this area of film.

LONGONT - A man tried to grab a 13-year-old girl Tuesday afternoon near 17th Avenue and Harvard Street, Longmont police said, but was driven off after she shouted "No!" and kicked him in the shin.
Detective Sgt. Joel Post said the girl had been walking on the north side of 17th Avenue when a southbound truck on Harvard Street stopped and the driver got out, grabbing the girl's arm. After she shouted and kicked, Post said, the man returned to his truck and drove off east on 17th.
Police describe the driver as a Hispanic man about 6 feet tall and between 20 and 30 years old, wearing a black, short-sleeved shirt and a black cap. Post said the truck may have been a red Ford F-150 pickup with an extended cab; the bed was covered with a dark-colored tarp. The truck was likely several years old, he said.
Police checked the area but did not find the truck. Post said that detectives are continuing the investigation and attempting to get a better description of the man and the vehicle.
The call was reported as an attempted kidnapping just after 4 p.m.
