Makderah looks the real deal
LAS VEGAS - Watch out, Citronnade, Wait a While, and Honey Ryder - there is a new player in the filly-and-mare turf division. While there are dozens of fillies imported from overseas every year, Makderah may be something special.
A listed stakes winner at Ascot, Makderah was also Group 3-placed at Goodwood and has finished out of the money only once in 10 lifetime starts. She was good at 3 last year, but the addition of Lasix, which is banned in Europe and most other countries, has turned her into a different kind of animal. Second in her U.S. debut at Keeneland on April 27, she turned the corner in her second stateside effort in a nine-furlong allowance on May 31, blowing her field away in the stretch with a devastating turn of foot.
This past Saturday at Belmont in the New York Breeders' Cup, Makderah looked equally impressive, winning as she pleased over a watered-down field after the scratches of Vacare and Barancella. Despite the lack of serious competition, this race was a showcase for Makderah, who will certainly move on to bigger things.
Makderah has the kind of pedigree to drool over. She has nothing but class throughout her pedigree, starting with her late sire, Danehill, the most successful son of a renowned sire of sires, Danzig.
Kin to Nashwan, Unfuwain, Alwasmi
It is always about class in the dam, and Makderah's female family is as good as it gets. Her dam, Wijdan (Mr. Prospector), was only stakes-placed in England, but her female family made her an attractive broodmare the day she was born no matter what she did on the racetrack.
Wijdan is out of the Bustino mare Height of Fashion, often considered the most important racehorse that Queen Elizabeth II has ever owned and bred. A champion at 2 in England, Height of Fashion became a prodigious broodmare, producing a four-time Group 1 winner and champion Nashwan (by Blushing Groom), who sired more than 40 stakes winners, including two-time champion Bago, as well as champions Wandesta, One So Wonderful, Myself, Najah, and Nashatara. Height of Fashion also produced multiple Group 1 winner Nayef (Gulch); Group 3 winner Unfuwain (Northern Dancer); and Group 3 winner Alwasmi (Northern Dancer). Height of Fashion also is the dam of Manwah (Lyphard), the dam of Mustanfar.
Height of Fashion's dam, Highclere (Queens Hussar), won two Group 1 races, the English 1000 Guineas and the Prix de Diane, and placed in the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes behind the great Dahlia. Most importantly, Highclere is the dam of Burghclere (Busted), the dam of Group 1 winner Wind in Her Hair, who underscored what class in the dam means by producing the Japanese sensation Deep Impact, who won the Japanese Triple Crown in 2005 and was Japan's Horse of the Year in 2005 and 2006.
This is obviously a pedigree of the highest class, and by year's end, we may look back to the New York Breeders' Cup victory as the race that catapulted Makderah into prominence. Not originally nominated to the Breeders' Cup, Makderah no doubt will be supplemented to the races by her owner and breeder, Shadwell Stable, if she continues to develop for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.
Short field for Suburban
This Saturday's Suburban Handicap was supposed to be the first start for last year's Horse of the Year, Invasor, since he won the Dubai World Cup in March, and a return to glory for the talented but brittle Harlington. But Invasor was retired after fracturing a sesamoid bone in his right hind leg during a workout, and Harlington was withdrawn from consideration on Monday because of an unspecified foot problem. Invasor's departure leaves the older division up for grabs, and Corinthian, who has emerged as a serious player this year at age 4 with victories in the Metropolitan Handicap and Gulfstream Park Handicap, can strengthen his case with a victory in the Suburban, a race that has a rich history. The winners of the Suburban are a who's who of the sport and include Equipoise (1933), Assault (1947), Nashua (1956), Kelso (1961, 1963), Buckpasser (1967), Dr. Fager (1968), Forego (1975), Easy Goer (1990), Skip Away (1997), and Invasor (2006).
Hesanoldsalt, second in five consecutive races against the likes of Invasor, Corinthian, Flashy Bull, and Papi Chullo, looms as Corinthian's biggest threat, particularly at 1 1/4 miles. A full brother to Donn Handicap winner Mongoose, Hesanoldsalt, who is a Grade 3 stakes winner, has developed into a Grade 1 runner and deserves to win one of these big races. Hesanoldsalt's third dam, Jungle Mythologic, is a half-sister to Gold Sun, the second dam of a two-time Horse of the Year, Cigar.
Others expected for the Suburban include Malibu Moonshine, a 5-year-old son of Malibu Moon (A.P. Indy) whose fifth dam is the 1953 2-year-old filly champion, Evening Out; Fairbanks, a half-brother to Keats by Giant's Causeway (whose son Mike Fox won last weekend's Queen's Plate); and Political Force, a son of Unbridled's Song and multiple stakes winner Glitter Woman who was second in the Metropolitan Handicap but who may find 1 1/4 miles a furlong too far.

Plugins in Dynamics CRM, allow you to register images against the steps of a plugin assembly. Images are a way to pass the image of the record that is currently being worked upon prior or after the action has been performed. In general it could be said, it is the image of the record as is available in the SQL backend.
Two types of Images are supported, Pre-Image and Post Image.
In case of Pre-image, you get the image of the record as is stored in the SQL database before the CRM Platform action has been performed.
Post Image, returns the image of the record after the CRM Platform action has been performed.
As developers, you may have at times, received the following error when trying to implement a plugin.
It is there important to understand when the images would be available and what state of the record would be returned in these images.
Say you were to register a "Pre-Image" for a plugin registered in Pre-Create Stage. We just mentioned above, that the image is a copy of the record as is stored in the SQL backend. Since this is the create stage and the record has not even been created as yet, there is no record in the SQL backend that can be returned in the Pre-Image and hence any call for the image would fail with the above error message.
The following table explains the Pre-Image Availability
The following table explains the Post-Image Availability

By April Holloway
Last week, residents in the coastal city of Tampico in Mexico experienced a bizarre phenomenon that has been reported since ancient times – raining fish. Civil defence officials in northeast Mexico said that light rain on September 28 was accompanied by small fish falling from the sky.
"Curious case in Tampico where there was a slight rain that included small fish that literally fell from the sky," the Civil Defense Agency for the state of Tamaulipas posted on Facebook, along with images of four fish in a bag and one on the ground.
It is not the first occurrence of strange objects falling from the sky. Throughout history, there have been numerous recorded instances of fish, frogs, jellyfish, beans, nuts, seeds, and all manner of bizarre and unlikely objects, raining down on unsuspecting people below.
A Long History of Raining Objects
One of the first recorded instances of "raining" objects comes from the writings of Roman philosopher and naturalist Pliny the Elder, who documented storms of frogs and fish in the 1st century AD in what is now Italy. In the 3rd century AD, ancient Greek rhetorician and grammarian Athenaeus wrote in his work "The Deipnosophists" (Book VIII):
"In Paeonia and Dardania it has, they say, before now rained frogs; and so great has been the number of these frogs that the houses and the roads have been full of them; and at first, for some days, the inhabitants, endeavoring to kill them, and shutting up their houses, endured the pest; but when they did no good, but found that all their vessels were filled with them, and the frogs were found to be boiled up and roasted with everything they ate, and when besides all this, they could not make use of any water, nor put their feet on the ground for the heaps of frogs that were everywhere, and were annoyed also by the smell of those that died, they fled the country."
Since then, numerous other unusual instances have been documented, including a storm in Italy in 1840 that deposited thousands of partially germinated Judas Tree seeds native to Central Africa; a dusting of sugar crystals in 1857 in Lake County, Calif.; a rain of hazelnuts over Dublin, Ireland, in 1867; live pond mussels in Paderborn, Germany, in 1892; and jellyfish in Bath, England, in 1894.
Perhaps one of the most exciting "rains" to occur was the shower of 16th-century coins that fell from the sky on June 16, 1940, in the Russian village of Meschera. Archaeologists hypothesized that a strong wind swept up a buried trove that had been exposed by soil erosion, before dropping it back down.
One of the first scientists to address the strange phenomena of raining objects was E.W. Gudger, an ichthyologist at the American Museum of Natural History. Gudger published a paper in the journal Natural History, titled "Rains of Fishes," in the early 20th century in which he suggested four possible explanations for showers of marine species.
First, he suggested that certain "out-of-place" animal species may simply be on their migration. Secondly, that fish or other marine species were left stranded on land after overflow from ponds or streams. Third, that estivating fish, awakened by heavy rains, had burrowed to the surface. And fourth, that the fish had been whisked out of the ocean or lake by waterspouts or tornadoes and dumped to the ground many miles away.
The latter theory has received the most support. Jerry Dennis writes in his book "It's Raining Frogs and Fishes: Four Seasons of Natural Phenomena and Oddities of the Sky," that theoretical calculations suggest that "golf ball-sized hail requires an updraft of more than 100 miles per hour, which would be more than powerful enough to loft small fish high into a thundercloud."
The U.S. Library of Congress concurs. Reporting on the latest occurrence of raining fish in Mexico, the library said: "Of course, it doesn't 'rain' frogs or fish in the sense that it rains water — no one has ever seen frogs or fish vaporize into the air before a rainfall. However, strong winds, such as those in a tornado or hurricane, are powerful enough to lift animals, people, trees, and houses. It is possible that they could suck up a school of fish or frogs and 'rain' them elsewhere."
However, some occurrences of falling objects cannot as easily be explained by this theory. The phenomena of raining stones, for example, has been known to last for several days or even weeks, and with rocks too large to be carried long distances in the wind. In Medieval times, such bizarre phenomena were attributed to goblins, brownies or stone-throwing demons.
Scientists have admitted that they really do not have a definitive answer for the strange phenomenon of raining stones. Over the years, many theories have been proposed from poltergeist activity to supernatural beings, gangs of stone-throwers, volcanoes, meteorites, tornadoes, and even divine retribution, as seen in the reference (Joshua 10:11): "the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them until Azekah, and they died."
As with many unusual and unexplained phenomena, scientists and academics have been reluctant to examine the subject in any rigorous manner. Presumably, examining the nature of the rocks and whether they are local to the area in which they fall or from further afield, including from outerspace, could help to at least shed some light on mystery. Until then, we are left with mere speculations as to what causes this bizarre phenomenon.

He holds a PhD in Political Science from Syracuse University, New York. He is the author of several books on the role of the media in American politics, and is past chair of the political communication section of the American Political Science Association.
'The relationship between the US Supreme Court and the news media has always been fraught with tension, as journalists seek to cover an institution that covets its privacy and secrecy. The rapid development of new media platforms and technology has only intensified these strains. This book takes a comprehensive and engaging look at the relationship today and in the past. Both the media and the judiciary have much to learn from its findings.' Tony Mauro, Supreme Court correspondent for The National Law Journal and the Supreme Court Brief newsletter 'Davis' edited collection offers a veritable candy store for exploring the relationship between the Supreme Court and the press in the digital media age. Portraying the 'symbiotic' relationship between a public institution wishing to keep its decisional processes veiled and a press corps bent on penetrating those processes, the anthology offers a set of readings revealing the tensions between the Court and the press invariably caused by their conflicting goals and objectives. The diverse offerings in the reader succeed in revealing the complexity of the Court/press interface through a balance of original empirical research, the perspectives of members of the Court's press corps, and the perspectives of the Justices themselves. The result is essential reading for those wishing to understand an historic relationship through uniquely contemporary lenses.' Elliot E. Slotnick, Professor Emeritus, The Ohio State University '... the Supreme Court still maintains a wary and watchful eye on the news media. Due to this strained relationship, there is relatively little research in the ways that the judges interact with the news media on a consistent basis ... this volume is one step in reducing this gap in the literature ... the scholarship present in Covering the United States Supreme Court in the Digital Age makes it a worthy read for those in the fields of both political science and media studies.' Kate Eugenis, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly

Pluggable Electrical Installation In Easily Accessible Areas
In easily-accessible areas such as trade fair booths and sales rooms, it is not always possible to guarantee that laypeople and authorized personnel will not come into contact with the electrical installation. For this reason, the standard DIN EN 61535 specifies that connectors – both plugged and non-plugged – must comply with the IP2XD degree of protection. As a result of this specification, WAGO has developed new components with maximum electric shock protection: a snap-in strain relief housing for 3-pole plugs and sockets in the WINSTA® MIDI family for conductor cross-sections of 1.5 mm2 and 2.5 mm2 in different variants.
Screwless strain relief allows quick installation and is especially easy to handle. This is why, based on the new IP2XD strain relief housing, a modified, snap-in variant in protection class IP2XC has been added to the WINSTA® program. IP2XC guarantees the accessibility of inspection openings and is therefore suitable for all areas that are not accessible to everybody.

I flew into San Francisco and joined the family who had spent the day doing the Alcatraz boat tour at the end of July as they 'hunkered down' in the Cloverdale/Naco RV park on the banks of the Russian River ... having had too much fun, while they "claimed the coach was broken for two weeks" and they were 'forced' to go to Monterey, and visit the aquarium and shoreline; and then Santa Cruz, where they 'had' to go to the pier and hang out; and then into San Francisco for another night in a hotel; and yet more nights at my cousins' home across the bay in Oakland.... Yes, the scars were -- indelible? Nope... hmm.... non-existent!
So, local drives into the nearby towns and countryside yielded some great wineries and wonderful food. One morning, we took a barely-on-the-map road over the coastal range, stopping for blackberries, admiring the oak/grass rolling hills that soon graded into occasional trees, and then into deep coastal redwood forest - dark, foreboding, quiet. You just knew that if you stopped the care, you'd see fairies playing just above and in the streams and there, just at the ridge and hardly within sight, could it be...yes... maybe...no, a horse? ... but the horn...ah! yes!! a unicorn.... Yes indeed, truly primitive stretches of forest, and magical creatures, can still be found in the north woods!
And then, all of a sudden, we came out the bottom of a steeply cut river canyon onto the ocean. What a sight. Kayakers were playing in the nearby estuary, just in from the protecting sand bar. We were starved...and the restaurant we wanted was not yet open. Alas, with nothing else to do, we were again forced to eat wild blackberries, though these at the shore were nowhere near as sweet as the ones in the bright sun on the high ridges we had left but a few miles back.
After a fine meal and a drive out to the Pt. Arena lighthouse, we found another minor backroad which took us through the deep woods again, and eventually spit us out onto a main coast road between Cloverdale and Fort Bragg. No unicorns here, no sir!
With a flat tire in the Maxx as our reward for the long drives, and with an early (5:15 a.m.) flight commitment to meet the balloon folks in Santa Rosa, Dave and I changed the tire (yes, we did it ourselves -- at that time of day, the covered AAA wagons were in the barn for the night, and the horses were bedded as well). Sigh...it was kinda fun, and, um, kinda not. Hadn't done that in a lot of years.
The next morning found us under clear but cold skies. As we drove down the valley to Santa Rosa, we picked up a cloud layer that left the airport in fog. So they piled us all in vans, drove back up the valley, right past our campsite [darn: could'a slept in] and further up Highway 101 to Ukiah, another 1/2 hour in the opposite direction from Santa Rosa. The Parducci Winery folks are kind enough to offer the balloon company a field in which we set up and launched the balloons. We flew for more than an hour, landing at the Ukiah airport. Wow, as a pilot, I can tell you I have never spent so much time on Short Final!! And a few planes out that morning had to land and take off only using the south end of the runway, as we were hogging the airspace to the north! Glad there weren't any training flights that morning.
The flight was spectacular, though we were surprised at the noise levels when the two big burners kicked in. Jackets? None...there was plenty of radiated heat downwards into the basket for the nine of us. Like in gliders (and when the burner was not on), we floated in silence in the early morning's light high above the valley floor. A wonderful experience that is worth repeating.
Once all three balloons landed and were deflated and repacked, we piled back in the vans and drove to Santa Rosa, concluding at an "al fresco" breakfast set out for us in one of the orchards at Kendall Jackson wineries. Very neat! Champagne, quiche, sweets, orange juice, fresh fruit.... not hard to take.
The last evening I was with the family on the Russian River, we went to a wonderful restaurant in Healdsburg. On the leisurely drive back, Sarah suggested we stay on the country roads and not get back on the 101 highway. So, we had a very nice drive through Alexander Valley, yet another noted winery area, and eventually met back up with the highway in Cloverdale. The sun set, and all was right in the world.
The next morning, we drove the coach and toad to Oakland, where we abandoned our still-troubled coach (needed more debugging to track down the snapping, bending noises in the steering column). The five of us - me, Mary Ann, Dave, Sarah and Mayim piled into the Maxx and drove back to the OC, with luggage! To say it was tight -- well, Mayim had one very small clear spot in the hatchback area, and that was that!
A few days later (beginning of August), Mary Ann flew up to Oakland (alone), for the repair garage had found no identifiable cause or source of the problem and referred us, again, to the manufacturer. She was not feeling too swift, and took 12+ hours to go the 6.5 hours home. With many stops to nap or just rest, we didn't know then that she was beginning the serious stage of gall bladder problems. She had been feeling "off" the prior week we were all together at the Russian River, but it wasn't too uncomfortable just then.
The coach did get fixed, by a wonderful place (RV Solutions in Colton, CA).... the steering column was attached by a single bolt! The repair required 6 new bolts, plus three new welds on broken frame connections. Now, we never hear a squeek or groan in the steering or frame -- thank you Steve Bishop.
August was spent with surgery, a milestone/turning point Homeschool Conference in Sacramento (after which we decided to "unschool" our kids), the Maccabi Games, and packing up our belongings for three different locations (the RV, the boat, and long-term storage). The kids now attend the Sierra Institute for Research and Technology ("SIRT" - see it on the WEB), a private ISP (Independent Study Program). SIRT has two fully matriculated students, two full-time staff (Mary Ann as Principal and Instructor, and Mel as CFO and Instructor), and a school mascot (Mayim). We have a posted cirriculum, accept other students, record attendance... and meet the State of California requirements for educating our children.
On August 30th, the movers came to our rental house, and took our stuff to a storage locker (for the boat and to do a final sort of some personal papers and junk), and to Al's house (where I moved into one of the bedrooms) and then to their long-term storage warehouse. With no furniture left in the rental, we slept in the RV for the last two nights of our former OC life!
Few of the final planned repairs and anticipated improvements to the RV (including, even then, my desire for a voice-annunciated GPS system) got done in the month of August, as there were just to many other little things going on in our lives... Some of the repair/upgrade work we have done this Fall; other tasks are yet to be done, on the road.

"DJ E-Z Rock died Sunday at age 46.
Born Rodney Bryce, the musician was one half of hip-hop duo Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock. A spokesperson for Base has confirmed Bryce`s death to Rolling Stone, but the cause of death has not been revealed."
DJ E-Z Rock was one half of rap duo Rob Base and DE E-Z Rock; they instantly gained hip-hop immortality when they released "It Takes Two" in 1988.
Even today if you go to any club eventually they will get around to playing " It Takes Two." Over the years the classic has been sampled by just about every rap artist.
If I could only listen to two rap songs before I died I would choose anything by Snoop Dogg and " It Takes Two. "
Rest in Peace DJ E-Z-Rock, I`m sure you have everyone in heaven grooving to It Takes Two. "

Anglers in Denmark Urged to Catch 80,000 Escaped Rainbow Trout
A cargo ship crashed into a trout farm in Denmark, now officials are urging fishermen to catch the 80,000 escapees.
A shipping accident on Horsens Fjord near the Jutland peninsula caused the premature release of so many rainbow trout that authorities and environmental officials are asking, almost begging, fishermen to catch them.
Søren Knabe a member of the Danish Angler's Association and chair of the environmental group Vandpleje Fyn said, "Sea trout are currently coming up into Funen streams to spawn, and sea trout eggs are a favorite food for rainbow trout," said Knabe. "The escaped rainbow trout will follow right behind the tails of the sea trout and eat their eggs."
The escape could not have happened at a worse time.
These rainbows are in the six to seven pound range. Since these fish will almost certainly make their way into local streams and rivers the possibility of a fishing bonanza is on the horizon.
Knabe said, "I encourage anyone with fishing gear to get it out and go fishing in the Little Belt." Anglers everywhere are suddenly looking for a map.
The fish would have been worth nine million kroner or about $1.3 million, but are now fodder for anglers looking to enjoy some 'free' fishing. As much as many would like to enjoy the sudden fish lottery, researchers are looking at the real possibility that the farmed trout will disrupt free range and wild sea trout populations.
Fish farms are not the favorite subject of Danish science. Dr. Jon Svendsen of Denmark's National Institute of Aquatic Resources said, "Fish farms pose a much greater threat to the local marine environment, mainly because of nutrient releases into the local environment, which may be associated with algae blooms and subsequent hypoxia"
Whatever the case, there are a lot of rainbow trout out there for fishermen willing to take advantage of them.

When marketers and database managers talk about big data, they mean more than size alone. Big data has the power to transform sales, but only when it's validated and assembled in a usable format. It isn't the amount of data pouring into your marketing database that determines its utility; it's the quality of that data. Here's how to take steps toward improving data quality, not just quantity, with your marketing database services.
Define Goals
What do you want your database to do for you? Knowing what you want to accomplish with your database marketing strategy is the essential first step to achieving success with it. Get together with your database management team and ask the right questions to define your goals. Are you looking for actionable insights into your current audience or seeking new markets? Do you need to focus on acquisition or retention? The more specific you can be when defining your successes, the more achievable they become.
Gear up for Quality
Effective database management is heavily reliant on the right technology for the task. Because data quality is dependent on tech, you have two options: Involve IT in the decision-making, or choose a database marketing company that has the necessary tools in place or can create the data architecture your organization needs to move ahead. As you focus more on data-driven insights, you may want to appoint a chief data officer or data governance specialist who will act as the liaison between technology and marketing. By building the infrastructure for a move toward data-driven marketing in both your technology and the personnel who use it, you're prepared to maintain better data quality.
Take a Practical Approach
Just as great food comes out of a spotless kitchen, great insights come from rigorously clean data. Housekeeping is a practical consideration rather than a theoretical one, but it's fundamental to obtaining quality data. Look at how you currently collect data and see where you can add filters to ensure higher quality as it comes in. For example, if you currently use self-entry forms for data elements such as dates, company size, or state names, you're introducing noise into your system. Swap the entry bars out for drop-down menus, and you've instantly eliminated a potential source for duplicate records or errors.
Make a Map
Where does data come into your marketing database? Some of it might come from entry forms for gated content or newsletter subscriptions. Some may flow in from your call center as agents take leads' information over the phone. Other information might be from your CRM or third-party lists from a list management company. To increase the quality of your data, map where it enters your database and how you handle it once it's there. Visualizing where duplications can arise will show you where to place filters to remove them before they happen and align accounts across multiple channels of inward-bound data.
Enrich Data
The beauty of understanding how data flows into your database is that you can then enhance its quality. Comparing data against a larger, established database as a yardstick is an effective way of enhancing its quality, but you can also increase the value of data within its own database by linking account information. Let's say, for example, that you have a pool of leads in an industry of prime importance for your organization. This sizable pool is still undifferentiated, but by cross-referencing these records with other account data – online buying habits, sales cycle length, turnover rate, and other details customers don't directly share with you – you're able to focus on the needs of just those 20 percent who are most likely to buy.

Speech Choir: REVERSE CREATION by Bernard Backman
In the end, we destroyed the heaven that was called Earth.
The Earth had been beautiful until our spirit movedover it and destroyed all things.And we said…Let there be darkness… and there was darkness. And we liked the darkness; so we called the darkness, Security.And we divided ourselves into races and religions and classes of society. And there was no morning and noevening on the seventh day before the end.
And we said…
Let there be a strong government to control us in our darkness. Let there be armies to control our bodies so thatwe may learn to kill one another neatly and efficiently in our darkness. And there was no evening and nomorning on the sixth day before the end.
And we said…
Let there be rockets and bombs to kill faster and easier; let there be gas chambers and furnaces to be morethorough. And there was no evening and no morning on the fifth day before the end.And we said…Let there be drugs and other forms of escape, for there is this constant annoyance – Reality – which is disturbingour comfort. And there was no evening and no morning on the fourth day before the end.
And we said…
Let there be divisions among the nations, so that we may know who is our common enemy. And there was noevening and no morning on the third day before the end.
And finally we said…
Let us create God in our image. Let some other God compete with us. Let us say that God thinks as we think,hates as we hate, and kills as we kill. And there was no morning and no evening on the second day before theend.
On the last day, there was a great noise on the face of the Earth. Fire consumed the beautiful globe, and therewas silence. The blackened Earth now rested to worship the one true God; and God saw all that we had done,and in the silence over the smoldering ruins… God wept.

So it's 6am, you[1] are hungover or otherwise sleep-deprived as you descend from the humid, exhaust-fumed streets into a TTC subway station. Your eyes are assaulted by fluorescent lighting. The worst occurs before you even enter any kind of conveyance: the subway car first rumbles into the platform, and then a horrific screeching as those not savvy enough to plug their ears suffer the high internal squeal of tinnitus. And like, I'm no engineer, or the least bit automotively inclined, but can't we get some oil for this situation?
This is to say nothing of urine-redolence once on the actual car, which urine-redolence is sometimes often a welcome reprieve to various body odours and halitosic exhalations of the orally unhygienic!

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Winnipeg Jets hope to get on track following a costly losing stretch as they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night at Amalie Arena.
The Jets have lost six of their past nine games, falling in defeat for a second straight contest with Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Florida Panthers. As a result, Winnipeg fell a point behind the Los Angeles Kings for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.
Winnipeg, which also is now just two points ahead of the San Jose Sharks in the standings, has played one more game than Los Angeles, which hosts the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.
Without defenseman Dustin Byfuglien (upper body) and forward Bryan Little (lower body) due to injury, the Jets saw the Panthers net a tie-breaking goal with 3:53 remaining.
Michael Hutchinson stopped just 16-of-19 shots for Winnipeg, with Mark Scheifele and Drew Stafford lighting the lamp. Michael Frolik had an assist to give him five goals and three helpers over a career-high eight-game point streak.
"I think frustrating is the word," Stafford said. "Now is the time we need every point possible. We just need to figure out a way to turn this thing around. We'll take what we can from this one and get ready for another tough challenge in Tampa."
That challenge could come without defenseman Tyler Myers, who suffered an upper-body injury in the second period versus the Panthers. He attempted to return to the game after sliding into the boards in the second frame, but was unable to finish out the contest.
Myers' status for this game is unknown, but the Jets did recall defenseman Keaton Ellerby from the minors on Friday.
Winnipeg will try to earn a split of a four-game road trip tonight as it visits a Tampa Bay club that is set to play the first of six in a row as the host. The Lightning are 26-6-1 at Amalie Arena this season, setting a single- season franchise record for home victories.
The Bolts were unable to secure a victory on the road Thursday, falling 3-2 in a shootout to the Boston Bruins. The Bruins got a pair of goals in the shootout, while Nikita Kucherov and Jonathan Drouin came up empty on their attempts.
Steven Stamkos and Vladislav Namestnikov scored in regulation and Ben Bishop made 28 stops for the Lightning, who had a four-game win streak snapped. Tyler Johnson recorded an assist and has three goals and seven helpers on an eight- game point streak.
"We went on the road and finished with three out of four (points)," said Bolts head coach Jon Cooper. "I think the goaltender did well though he was left out there at times."
The Lightning, who recently lost defenseman Braydon Coburn and forwards Cedric Paquette and Ondrej Palat to injury, did move into a tie with the Montreal Canadiens for first place in the Atlantic Division with the point. The Habs do have a game in hand and visit the New York Islanders tonight.
Tampa Bay picked up a second straight win over the Jets with a 4-2 win at Winnipeg on Oct. 24. Drouin netted his first career goal with an assist and Bishop made 40 saves.
Little and Blake Wheeler had the goals for the Jets and Ondrej Pavelec yielded four goals on 18 shots through two periods in defeat.
The Lightning have won nine of the last 12 at home in this series.

Sports Marketing
Indian sports have been recognized since India was a colony of the British. The commercial success and acceptance of marketing through sports and sponsorship have made it popular in the Western countries and marketing can be in any form of media, like sponsorship in sports events, commercials on television, magazines, social media, placing advertisements in sports pages in newspapers and many more.
Obviously all sports require some athletic ability, but certain sports such as baseball, softball, and golf require a level of technical skills that may be too much to handle for 5 year olds. The word sports off late has been restricted to cricket, especially due to the upcoming craze of the world cup in which India performed exceptionally bad. That is double the fun for the kids because they can live the sports as well as have it themed on their jump. A sportsman while at the field has always to act according to the rules of the game, with set norms of discipline of the game. It has often been seen that, children who are seriously interested in sports get away from studies and even from other extra curricular activities of their school or colleges.
Sign up now to receive Sports Illustrated's best content, special offers and much more. They are considering seven sports for the two spots: softball, baseball, golf, rugby, squash, karate and roller sports. Players who do not believe in this form of approach to sports must be weeded out right from the start. All of us are aware of the fact that playing sports tells us about winning and losing. If you do not have enough time to study the statistics that you need to know before you get involved in sports betting, you should find a service that provides sports handicapping information from professionals who study and know the game. Freelance photography is pretty competitive, especially if you huddle around college and pro sports. Yachting is perhaps one of the most expensive of all recreational activity, and requires the biggest sports equipment recreationally.
Why are fantasy sports games so popular -because we love sports and the fantasy games feed the love. Across the many sports in which I work, when I ask coaches what their biggest challenge and source of stress is, the overwhelming response is parents. Sports photography- photo day- Every little league, high school, college, and recreational league has a photo day. Next you'll need to understand the difference between athletic sports and technical sports. Every newspaper is different but you can usually get a glimmer of the highlights from the major sports teams that played the previous day. We'll break down a few business ideas for the aspiring sports photography expert!
Other sports like F1 racing, archery and shooting are developing at a great pace and there can a great future for India in them. This website would like to provide you with summaries of abstracts, examinations of academic literature and top media articles, etc showing the disintegration of coaches together with players in top professional sports leagues due to racism. There is a greater point here – the business of sports has successfully tapped into our emotions and our lives in a way no other business has.

Alas, I'm really not sure when I'll be back in town - which makes me sad. MLA is being held in Philadelphia next year, so my coming back in 2009 is very unlikely :(
Hope you're unknackered by now! Happy New Year!

1) The myth of the all-powerful DNC—"The idea that the DNC was some kind of monolithic organization that orchestrated the nomination 'against the will of the people'"
2) The myth that Sanders would have won.
Just to get any bias out of the way, let me say that I was a Sanders supporter—I maxed out my contributions to him—but I voted for Clinton and donated to downballot Democrats in the general. I know lots of Sanders supporters, and a few Trump supporters, but I don't know any who didn't vote, or who voted for Stein. (And if I did, I wouldn't blame them for helping elect Trump unless they also live in a swing state, something that Eichenwald doesn't mention). EDIT: Turns out I do know a couple of people who voted for Stein, but not in swing states.
In any case, let's look at those "myths."
Myth 2 is a minor point at best—Sanders could have won, as Eichenwald acknowledges, and nobody who voted for Stein cares much about a candidate's real-world chances.
It's the first "myth"—the all-powerful DNC—that's the meat of Eichenwald's piece, and it's where Eichenwald goes very, very wrong
His points are:
1. The DNC itself is "an impotent organization with very little power."
This is kinda true. But it's also missing the point. Sanders supporters' problems were with the Democratic establishment; for most of us, "the DNC" was shorthand for that. After all, there's a lot of overlap between the DNC and the rest of the Democratic establishment (for instance, all DNC members are superdelegates at the convention.)
2. The idea that the DNC didn't sponsor enough debates, or that they were held at the wrong times, is ridiculous.
Eichenwald is correct here. There were plenty of debates.
3. The idea that the DNC changed the rules to favor Clinton is also ridiculous.
Well, except for Obama's reform that banned donations from lobbyists and PACs to the DNC. That was changed, and people—not just Sanders supporters—were upset at the time. And it clearly benefited Clinton, who had the big-money donors locked up from the start. At the very least, this was inept—it reinforced Clinton's "smug, corrupt, out-of-touch insider" image.
And the big one:
4. The leaked DNC emails—the ones that showed the DNC collaborating with the Clinton campaign–weren't a big deal. This is the core of Eichenwald's argument, so let me quote him in full:
This is very very wrong. And I can prove it. Let's start with this:
Certainly, Sanders had an uphill battle from the beginning. But he "could not possibly have won the nomination after May 3″? That didn't square with my recollection. So I went and checked. After his victory in the May 3 primary, Sanders had 1400 delegates or so (sources conflict); he needed 2,383 to get the nomination, which meant he needed more than were still available in the remaining primaries.
So Eichenwald sounds correct. But here's the problem: Eichenwald's math assumes that Sanders wasn't going to get a single additional superdelegate—that all of Clinton's superdelegates would stay with her no matter what.
And remember, in the very next paragraph, Eichenwald says this:
But only one of the following can be true:
Either Sanders only needed to win the most pledged delegates, and then the superdelegates would have rubber-stamped the decision of the people,
Or Sanders needed to also win a whole lot more pledged delegates in order to overcome a bloc of superdelegates who were going to vote for Clinton no matter what.
If the first is true, Sanders's path to victory after May 3, while very difficult, was not impossible; it didn't become truly impossible until June. In that case, the DNC had no business jumping into bed with the Clinton campaign in May.
If the second is true, then Eichenwald is right that the emails are innocent, but the Democratic establishment was ready and waiting to enact a scenario that Eichenwald calls, in the very next paragraph, "an establishment overthrow of the electorate more common in banana republics or dictatorships."
Either way, Sanders supporters have a legit grievance here.
And somehow Eichenwald forgets that it wasn't just Sanders supporters who were upset at the DNC's conduct. Here's Ed Rendell on the subject of those emails: "Myself and other Democrats who were Clinton supporters, we have been saying this was serious. It truly violates what the DNC's proper role should be. . . . The DNC did something incredibly inappropriate here."
"Serious." "Incredibly inappropriate." Rendell is former Governor of Pennsylvania and former chair of the DNC. He's not some dreamy hippie—he's as much of a party insider as one can be.
There was a reason Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned, after all. And remember: Clinton immediately welcomed her onto her campaign, in a smug, inept fuck-you to everyone except the Democratic elite. Eichenwald chooses not to mention this colossal own goal.
Point being, if liberals had a problem with Clinton and the Democratic establishment, there's no reason to look for "provably false conspiracy theories." There were plenty of legitimate reasons. Like the fact that Clinton was clearly a dangerously flawed candidate, and it wasn't just us who thought so. Here's a thoroughly mainstream reporter:
That reporter? Eichenwald himself, after the primary was over.
And let's not forget the behavior of the Democratic establishment. Sanders supporters didn't have legitimate worries about running a candidate who already had a 20-year-old industry devoted to hating her, who was such a bad campaigner that she nearly flubbed a locked-up primary against a goofy socialist, who was one of the most unpopular presidential candidates in history. Rather, we were being childish, refusing to be grow up and go with the "electable" candidate. We were sexists (never mind that almost all of us would have switched to Elizabeth Warren if she'd run). We weren't worried that Clinton could very possibly lose in the general, we were just whining because our needs weren't being catered to. We didn't have legitimate reason to believe that our political insiders were not offering real solutions to urgent problems (as I write this, the arctic is 36 freaking degrees warmer than normal), we were trying to impose our own left-wing dictatorship.
I'm not exaggerating. Here's a pro-Clinton journalist during the primary:
"The type of movement through which tyrants are born." That's, um, a tad hyperbolic. Is it strange if Sanders supporters (sorry, "Berniebros") were turned off?
And that reporter? Yup, Eichenwald himself, in a piece telling Sanders to get out of the race. (Never mind that Clinton stayed in the 2008 race long after she had no path to victory, and when asked why, came up with this gem: "We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California." So she was sticking around in case someone shot Obama. Imagine Eichenwald's outrage if Sanders had said anything so divisive.)
Oh, and the end of that piece (which, remember, was written during the primary) is instructive:
That reads as a not-very-veiled threat—run Sanders and many Democrats won't vote for him and it'll be Sanders's fault, not theirs.
Even if it wasn't intended as a threat, the message is clear: When the democrats ran a liberal and "a large segment of the usual party supporters" stayed home or voted for the opponent, the candidate was to blame. But when a (much smaller) segment of the usual party supporters stayed home for Clinton, they're to blame. Because she was the serious, grown-up choice, you see.
Bullshit. We are facing the horror of President Trump—which really could lead to a tyranny—for many reasons, but a big one is that the Democratic elite shat the bed. They lined up behind a flawed, uninspiring, insider candidate in a year when the voters—not just some precious lefties, but everyone—clearly demanded something else.
And now Kurt Eichenwald is telling us that we should go home, stay out of the way, and vote for whatever "electable" candidate (which means, as far as I can tell, "electable except for all the assholes who won't vote for him or her") the elite wants to lose with next time.
He can go have sex with himself, and I mean that in much cruder terms.
Feeling a bit stabby today? Here's something to do:
If you still have a Democratic representative or Senator, write them a letter. An honest-to-God, peel-the-stamp-and-stick-it letter.
Tell them that you expect them to fight Trump's disastrous agenda.
And that if they roll over for Trump, you will support—with your vote, with your donations, and with your time—any primary challenger who willfight Trump's agenda.
Follow through on that. If they stand up to Trump, support them in all those ways. If they don't, support a challenger.
Actual letters do more than emails or internet petitions.

So, back in early 2016 Dan and I did a timeline of economists and economic thought for Les Arènes, the publisher of the French translation of Economix. For you French folks, it is (or was?) available in hard copy with a purchase of the book. For the rest of y'all, here it is: http://economixcomix.com/timeline-of-economists/.
French fans: I'll be in and around Paris starting the end of this week:
April 30: A book signing at BDNET Bastille, 26 rue de Charonne, at 16h00
May 1: A talk with Laurent Cordonnier at Salon du Livre in Arras at 16h15 (Information here)
May 4: Interview and Q&A at La Maison de Université in Rouen
Come and soak up the geekiness!
(The autocorrect kept trying to make that last word "meekness" . . .)
So, the Greek referendum is today. Here's hoping that it forces some progress in the endless madness that is the Greek crisis. Because so far the Troika has simply been demanding the same things, in the same terms, for years. Is it even a "crisis" when nothing changes for that long?
Seriously, check out what I wrote about Greece in Economix, keeping in mind that the text was finished in mid-2011. I would write the same thing word for word today.
That's been the situation for the last four years and more. But maybe not tomorrow.
EDIT, 7/5/2015: When I wrote this I was confused by the holiday and thought it was already Sunday. Derp.
WARNING: See edit below.
So, NASA is now predicting that the remnants of the Larsen B ice shelf will be gone by the end of the decade.
I'm going to make my own prediction, just so I'm on the record: It'll happen faster than that. This coming summer (the Antarctic summer, so Winter 2015-2016 here) or the summer after.
No, I have no access to climate data that NASA doesn't have. And I don't read the data better than climate scientists do, or at all. But I'm still pretty confident.
That's because, in a weird way, the right wing is correct: Climate scientists are always wrong.
They're wrong because they start from the assumption that nothing will change. Then they look at the data and report upcoming changes that they can prove. The researchers have no real choice in this; anything less rigorous would leave them open to a slew of well-funded attacks from deniers.
So, for instance, nobody knows what the impact of methane release from melting permafrost will be. Climate models therefore don't take it into account, because any value they gave it would be a guess. But giving it a value of zero is also a guess, and almost certainly a worse guess than any positive value they would have given it.
And so again and again, what scientists can prove at any given time is overtaken by events soon after.
So if climate scientists say the Larsen B shelf will be gone in five years, I'm pretty sure it'll be quicker than that.
Let's hope I'm wrong.
EDIT: Reader Fabius Maximus has pointed me to several cases in which reality has not been as bad as climate scientists have predicted. I'm not sure why I hadn't come across these–it may have been my personal bad-news bias, or the fact that "problems worse than scientists predicted" makes a better headline than "problems in the low end of the predicted range." So, my bad.
The lesson here, kids, is don't listen to nonscientists about the freaking climate.
So anyone who read my rant about N. Gregory Mankiw's atrocious textbook knows I'm not a big fan. Now comes Mankiw's recent op-ed in the Times supporting the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership: "Economists Actually Agree on This: The Wisdom of Free Trade."
It reminded me of another piece: Sylvia Nasar's column supporting NAFTA in the very same paper, 23 years ago: "A Primer: Why Economists Favor Free-Trade Agreements."
Here's the first line of Nasar's article:
So economists were unanimously for free trade 23 years ago, and they're unanimously for it now. Free trade is therefore good. Q.E.D., right?
Well, it's worth reminding ourselves why economists were for NAFTA back than. Nasar wasn't arguing that NAFTA would be great for the US; rather, she was saying that the effect on the US would be minor, while it would be great for Mexico (and that a prosperous Mexico was in the US's interest).
So what happened? Mexico's wages have stagnated to the point that Mexican wages are now lower than Chinese ones. And politically, rather than a prosperous neighbor, we have a country that has teetered on the edge of becoming a failed state.
And while one could argue that it's not NAFTA's fault, one would be wrong. NAFTA actually does deserve a lot of the blame here.
So how can economists, after 23 years' worth of evidence that they were wrong, have learned nothing? How can they still agree that NAFTA-style "free trade" agreements (which is what the TPP and TTIP are) are simply good?
Well, part of the answer is that Mankiw is lying. Some economists have learned from their mistakes. The consensus is not nearly as strong as it was in the 1990s, when the only debate was between economists who thought that trade agreements were flat-out good and those who acknowledged that they might not be good for every person unless the winners compensated the losers out of their winnings.
But the rest of the answer is that Mankiw is a poster boy of what's wrong with too many economists (perhaps in part because so many economists start with his atrocious textbook): he sees the world as a set of postulates and theorems, and he sees no reason to abandon that approach just because facts don't agree. So when he says
That's because to him, it's just axiomatic that our policies can't affect the number of jobs (scroll down to "The Broken Window Fallacy Fallacy" here if you want to see why I disagree).
Then it gets worse. Far, far worse. The second part of Mankiw's article, and seemingly the real point, speculates on why we, the voters, just won't listen to economists on trade.
Here's Mankiw:
Is his answer: "Because economists have been sure and wrong before, and a rational person can doubt whether the same justifications that have proven wrong in the past are correct today?"
No! Check this out:
If you've finished laughing about "fully rational politicians" let's — you haven't? I'll wait. . . .
Okay, take a minute to read it again. Read Mankiw's smug condescension: you stupid voters just don't understand. Only he understands.
Mankiw is giving what are basically the core beliefs of the econ profession:
Thing is, only the first point is true. Economists' models are certainly opaque to the rest of us, but they have a truly atrocious track record, and most economists simply don't care. No other field, except perhaps astrology, fetishizes its methods to the exclusion of its results; no other field looks down on people who check to see what happens in the real world.
So when Mankiw says this:
He's describing himself, not voters. Mankiw, not voters, is "worse than ignorant about the principles of good policy."
And yet he thinks we should have *less* of a voice in our own government.
How the fuck does this guy get to keep his chair at Harvard?
"I observe that, although the speeches on our side are always manifestly just and sympathetic, and . . . are always regarded as saying what ought to be said, yet practically nothing is done which ought to be done, or which would make it worth while to listen to such speeches." —Demosthenes, Second Philippic, ~344 BC
Apropos of nothing, of course.

i've this phone for nearly 2 years nw.. Let me tel u this phone is none of the best!! the battery is so poor!! dont advise u!!
I bought this phone over a year ago, and I too love this phone. Unfortunately, T-Mobile in the U.S. told me that my phone is not compatible with some of their features that they offer on the phone plans.
i love this phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u dont know wht ur mising.............................................................................................
Had this phone for a few years... best I've ever owned. Damn near indestructable, and keeps on going.
I have had this phone for almost 2 years now...and have say it is one of the BEST phones I have ever used...it works great and have not had even a single problem with it...Absolutely love this phone!!!
I loved my samsung E900 sooo much. it was one of the best phones ive ever had, and in my opinion its still far more better than the new phones out now. Unfortunetly my beloved E900 got washed in the machine:( I bought a new one but i was far less from what the wonderful E900 was. I would buy it again, but its too out of date. A great phone, no problems with the touch buttons.
hi ... m disagree with all u guys who says tht this phone is not good .... i hv this phone for the last two years .... nd u know guys m lovin it .... bcoz nobody can operate mah phone .... m lovin tht tocu-pad - one more thin i hv also e 840 ... its all like tht .... but differ in luk .... any way ... m lovin it
Anonymous, 10 Jan 2009what annoyed me a bit about the phone was the touch pad it would stop in the middle of a call ... moreI disagree, this has never happened to me, it records my messages when a call is incoming
what annoyed me a bit about the phone was the touch pad it would stop in the middle of a call or delete a message when writing it.............it also rejects my calls and never notifies me!
i have had the phone for 2 years and never had a problem with it with my job it gets dropped a lot and it is still working as if it was new
I used this phone for a year....but had to put up with many problems...first text message received in a symbolic format it cannot be read in any way!!!!!!secondly when ever a new file is received via blue tooth it corrupts existing files on the handset.It also deleted any file that was stored in handset memory each time you switch off the handset.phone gets stuck making this handset the worst thing i ever had!!!!!i tried to upgrade software, it worked to put an end to the problem with text messaging but other problems still present!!! now it gets restart automatically what an awful thing!!!! is this the way the other E900 performs
IT'S very bad phone it just sport memory card upto1 GB it's browser's memory is also too low i think it's not good to use
i have had this phone for 1 year and it is the worst phone on the plant ! i hate it soooooo much . the camera is shockingly slow and the touchpad is annoying!
On the bright side i am getting the LG KP500 Cookie for crimboo!
all you saddo's that have still got this phone - UNLUCKY !
Princess Of Dah West, 11 Dec 2008i hate this phone i have it for more than two years because muuy mum wont buy me anothe one ; ... moreget a memory card fo your phone then you get more than 15 songs on it ! i think its a brill phone
Had this phone for 1 year, then it got stolen.
Must say I was pretty pleased with it, no complaints.
I agree on this phone being a delicate thing.
wait wait a sec....
I think its a great phone I even bought from my pops,
the thing here is to be delicate with it... definetly NOT the phone for tough fingers.
i hate this phone i have it for more than two years because muuy mum wont buy me anothe one ; fat cow !!
but anyway i hate it because wheneva i press sumthing it goe to another thing and its annoying it wont let me put more tha 15 songs stupid fone !!!
I actually own one of these as a secondary phone to my nokia 9500 communicator. The sensitive touchpad is really a pain even if you get used to it. Accidental presses happens frequently. Its music is good however, you are limited to only 30 songs per playlist (4 playlist x 30 = 120 mp3s). Camera is Good but the catch is it will take at least 2 seconds to have a clear shot, otherwise it gets blurry. In short the camera has lags longer than other cameraphones of the same class. I im to rate it scale 1 to 10 i'd give it a 7.5. Designwise, its a 10.

Sunday, 11 October 2015
Alongside folktales, classic fairy tales and long established writers such as Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll, Beatrix Potter and P.L. Travers it also featured stories by less recognisable or less mainstream authors such as J. G. Ballard, Joan Aiken and Richard Hughes.
Bernard Cribbins (who read some 114 different stories) and other well known British TV icons such as Brian Cant, Thora Hird and Joyce Grenfell through 7 different incarnations of The Doctor (numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 & War) to international superstars like Peter Sellers, Michael Palin and Judi Dench.
In 2006, 10 years after the original series ended, the BBC produced two new stories and also dedicated several hours of BBC4 to a celebration of the show.
Norman Hunter read by Kenneth Williams and Philippa Pearce's 'A Dog So Small' read by Judi Dench. These are followed by an hour long documentary (it starts at 29:05 for those who don't want the stories) and then two more stories, Rik Mayall's full on reading of Roald Dahl's 'George's Marvellous Medicine' and finally Alan Bennett reading A.A. Milne's 'The House at Pooh Corner'. The whole thing is compered by, who else, Bernard Cribbins.

They fear you
by Nicole Jocleen
They fear you
That's why you get the guilty verdict
They can't just let you go
They fear you
That's why your wrongdoers are justified
Trusting in the courts right,
For fear has left them blind
They see you as Nat Turner, John Allen Muhammad, and any rapper you name one.
So that makes it impossible for them to see you as a brother, husband, or a son.
The tragedy is that the fear was caused by the rising anger of an oppressed people.
Having to bear arms in the 60s cause otherwise…
Speaking out in defense since Lena Baker, Emmett Till, and those 4 Negro girls didn't stand a chance
For Michael Donald, Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, and Michael Brown still forced to take a stance
Because all they can remember is that "one time" or that "one incident" when you became what they thought you were.
Hood circles would label that moment ratchet, ghetto, or downright embarrassing. Any who it's damaging to the core.
How can this fear be replaced. It can't. Come too far to be put back in one's place.
Blaming the music, TV, and the internet are logical and illogical at the same time.
There is freedom in speech, but what's often said doesn't shed the best light.
I guess all we can do is…Pray, right?
Sounds so cliché
He said if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. HEAL THEIR LAND
With that being said…Amen

This poem is about the disconnect between the black man and the black woman.
Photo credit: Chelsea Taylor
by Nicole Jocleen
Clearly, there is a disconnect
I didn't see this coming
Cause there was a time when all you knew was me
Now I'm treated by a distant cousin
That you love according to your words
But your actions rarely confirm
What did I do to make you hate me?
Is my newest concern
Why are you so hard on me?
I'm hard enough on myself
Your disdain is so contagious
That I have even begun to alter myself
You are so high and mighty these days
And of course I know that you are wrong
I would never let anyone know it though
My love for you is way too strong
Remember when I fought with you
And proudly raised my fist
I know things have progressed since then
But please let's not forget
What about when I raised our children
When you were killed just for being black
Those times were so hard
It's a wonder my heart didn't crack
Remember when I nursed your wounds
Ol' Massa could be so cruel
I guess we did what we had to do
I think that's when I lost you
You never forgave me for leaving the slave quarters
And sleeping in massa's bed
I didn't want to I promise
If I'd denied him he would have killed me instead
I didn't know what else to do
And it seems like ever since then
All I've been is a hoe, slut, and a joke to you
I've tried to ease your mind about it
I've tried so hard
But I guess some wounds won't heal away.
Slavery's permanent scar

Sometimes I have insomnia
Thinking about life, love, & the pursuit of happiness
Or maybe I should be more concerned with the labels on my purse & his suit
Suit & tie
I can't sleep
Thinking about if I'll reap all the good I've sown and graces pardoned for the dirt I've thrown
Where He reigns light on little black boys whose remains become a beacon of light to the world of the beautiful pain that still persists in this nations veins
And it rains, sometimes
I have insomnia
And reflect on exes and sexes and unanswered texts and proposals fallen to the ground
I get insomnia when no one is around
Coffee, lattes, double shots... To the head if you're Mike Brown
In a bar celebrating your favorite team if you're any other young gifted and privileged white teen
So I glean- through the pages of social media and sermon texts
Trying to juxtapose what it all means
Trying to find meaning in this existence
This persistance of time
This constant awakening of my mind, my emotions
powerless under the force of His wills
I will
Be still
Because this too shall pass
And the morning dawn will prove
That just as the trouble of this world
My insomnia won't last

Over 15 women have come forward accusing Legendary Comedian Bill Cosby of raping and/or sexually assaulting them. There appeared to be doubt in the beginning about the legitimacy of the claims. As the numbers grow, so are people's suspicions. I wrote a poem about it. Like to hear it...here it go.

Our Voice
by Nicole Jocleen
As a woman am I that manipulative
That vindictive
That uncommitted
That your ears block out my whimper
My cries
My screams
As abrasive as I may seem
Sometimes bad things happen to me
Like abuse
Or whatever the case
We stay silent because we can't handle your doubt
When we finally speak up
Were told to shut up
For just now speaking
Especially if were speaking of someone with clout
Well, how bout
As a woman am I that manipulative
That vindictive
That uncommitted
That your ears ignore my whimper
My cries
My screams
As abrasive as I may seem
Sometimes bad things happen to me.
