I was first introduced to Alice Beasley's work through her quilt made to honor President Barack Obama in honor of his inauguration. The piece was part of an exhibition curated by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi called "Journey of Hope." Beasley wove these words taken from Obama's inauguration address into the border of the quilt, "We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of the earth. And because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hates shall someday pass..."
It's a fine epigraph and Beasley incorporates this view into her own work. From Oakland, California, Alice Beasley is an artist who works in fabric to create realistic portraits of people and objects. In her artist statement she says that, "I find color, light, shadow, line and value in the pattern of ordinary household fabrics as well as from fabrics that I print myself. From these I snip small pieces, which I arrange and fuse into a figurative composition. As such the work grows from within rather than being applied to the surface of a canvas by paint, pencil, or similar drawing tools. When the image is complete, I sew it together with the stitch line, constituting the final "drawn" line."
Beasley's work, "No Vote, No Voice" won first place at the Petaluma Arts Center Show, The NeuwPolitic: Artists Explore." Artists who contributed to the exhibit were asked to consider in their work that, "Now is the time for a much-needed dialogue surrounding politics; can art help start these conversations and facilitate the connections that are so needed?" Beasley seems to answer "yes" to this question, as witnessed in many of her works.
Recent politically inclined work includes, an "Ode to the Gator in Chief," called "Feeding Time at the Swamp," which will be on exhibit in a solo show opening June 3 at Bay Quilts in Richmond, California and then continuing as part of the nationally traveling exhibition "Threads of Resistance." http://threadsofresistance.blogspot.com/search/label/exhibition%20schedule
Beasley said of the work, "it was shameful actions such as the new TrumpNoCare Act that caused me to make this new piece called 'Feeding Time at the Swamp'. We're all being fed to the greedy reptiles in this heartless administration one body part at a time."
Learn more about Beasley's art in this video that includes details about "Blood Line," which was included in the "Stories of Migration: Contemporary Artists Interpret Diaspora" exhibit at the George Washington University Textile Museum.

Money makes the world go round; yet, the love of money is the root of all evil.
'Tis better to be feared than loved; yet, love conquers all.
The Romans loved their games. When the Senate wanted to mollify the masses, the floor of the Colosseum was soaked by more gladiator blood than usual, to distract the mob from their troubles. By the way, how about those Yankees?
Life explained in a nutshell: Kim Kardashian. An important person. Republicans. Good, down to earth folk anybody would be lucky enough to drink a beer with. Democrats. Fucking liberal faggot loving scum. Fox News. It's the news.
Murder. Rape. Murder. Rape. Cat up a tree. Murder. Rape. Murder. The weather. Sports. Think about it. This is your local media news all day everyday in the good old USA. The local news is important. Now. Did I miss something?
Remember, blowhard, use your indoor voice indoors.
Shut up. Notice your thoughts as they cross the screen of your mind's eye. Do not judge. Be impartial. Let them come and go, from nothingness to nothingness. Notice the miracle of your own breath. Know that with breath there is hope. Let go of the future. Let go of the past. Be at peace. Live now, because this moment is all we really have. Carpe diem. Seize the day.
Love. A life without love is empty. It is better to be a poor happy man who is loved and cherishes his life than to be the lone miser who counts his piles of pennies. Cash is cold comfort. You cannot take it with you when you go.
Think for yourself. If you can think for yourself my words are probably merely a reminder of your way of being. If you cannot, you probably don't realize it anyway.
You are not alone. If you feel lonely, realize that no one is truly alone, we are all connected to each other by an invisible web of energy and we give each other's lives meaning as we interact. Ubuntu, baby.
The essence of Brahma is creation, of Shiva, destruction. They are inseparable. One cannot exist without the other.
Good cannot be good without the existence of evil. There must be a choice we have to make, or we would be as sentient as plants, growing towards the sun, without rhyme nor reason.
Each of our lives can be likened to a kind of music. There is a beginning, a middle, and an end to each of our pieces. Some people live a rock song. Others Jazz. Yet others, symphonies. Some play badly. Others are virtuosos. Because our lives run the length of years, oftentimes we hit a sour note and hope we can cover it up quickly and hope nobody notices. Some people diligently study, practice, and conform to their sheet music. Others loosely improvise their melodic structures. There are many popular songs on the radio, yet in one hundred years from now, they will mostly be listening to the songs of the age. Much of our music, although timeless, will have been buried by time, waiting for the curious to listen and enjoy the zeitgeist of our age, once again.
There is a reason that when you take an "O" away from good, you have God. There is a reason son and sun are tied in our theology. Amen.
Most of what is important in life is simple. Only a little bit is simply complicated. Don't waste your time sweating the small stuff. Be wise, prioritize.
Use the brute's mind against him by telling him you hate what he hates. He will confuse you for his friend.
I hate the word politics because it is derived from the Latin poly meaning many and tics meaning bloodsuckers. The word was coined in the Roman Senate and yet it holds as much truth now as it did then.

Robert Pattinson was recently announced as the new face of Christian Dior's Dior Homma Fragrance. In a new still for the upcoming ad campaign, Robert is seen in a bathtub with a mystery lady's leg resting on the side. It was announced last month that Robert Pattinson would be the new face of Christian Dior's Dior Homme fragrance.
Now, the luxury brand has released a new still from the campaign and it definitely got our attention!
In the photo, the Twilight hottie is seen leaning over the edge of a bathtub seductively smiling at a woman who is resting her feet along the side.
The black and white photo seems to be taken by an onlooker who is observing the sexy scene.
According to the brand, we'll get the story surrounding the shot sometime soon.
"A new story is about to start. Robert Pattinsonfor Dior Homme Parfum. #DiorRob," they tweeted along with the ad teaser.
Hopefully that means we'll find out which lucky lady that leg belongs to!

Looking at the trending from Thorsten's list: FC1 -- 5 November 2003 - General Availability FC2 -- 18 May 2004 - General Availability FC3 -- 8 November 2004 - General Availability FC4 -- 13 June 2005 - General Availability FC5 -- 20 March 2006 - General Availability FC6 -- 24 October 2006 - General Availability The nine months for FC5 brought the schedule back into the late-March/late-October flow again. If this is important, I think we all have some possibility of influencing that this stays this way; and I think some influence may already be applied. What I see Thorsten saying is, let's keep applying that influence from the community and from Red Hat to keep aligned with i) a schedule that others can predict more than five months in advance, and ii) a schedule lined up with at least one major component (GNOME). Seems reasonable to me. We can do that _and_ remain flexible -- it's better to make up your mind and change it later than to never make it up at all ... or make it up and refuse to budge from a bad decision. ;-D - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

We don't talk much about breakfast. "What are we having for dinner?" is forever stealing the spotlight. Farmers to You offers numerous scrumptious breakfast foods (don't get me started on that Salumi Slab Bacon!). If you don't have time to stir a pot of oatmeal in the morning try making muesli. Muesli is the invention of a Swiss doctor looking to fortify his patients. In its simplest form muesli is a mixture of raw oats and milk. There are zillions of variations, all good.

bought this once to try and have been using this ever since. The water base lube provides great lubrication and is easy to clean up afterwards. also no worries about it staining the sheets cause it hasn't stained at all.
I like that this is a water-based lubricant. It feels more natural than other ones I have tried, and is less sticky. Cooperates with condoms and feels nice.

More suckoff to Implied Vile-lence
More suckoff to Alexie
Strangeways LOOOOOOOOVES Wynne Greenwood!!!
And all but ONE of your choices was brilliant!
So, I'm guessing that Alexie wrote those idiotic Sonics pieces in exchange for the Genius Award?
Great choices! I love Mr. Alexie. Great reactions, too; it's always good when you can make people cry. Or laugh.
It's about damn time you gave it to Alexie. He's deserved it for years.
Congratulations to all.
what do we need to do to get Matt Ruff one of those cakes?
@7: Ruff was shortlisted last year, the first year I was involved in the Literature portion of the Genius Awards, for Bad Monkeys. But he hasn't published anything this year. He's definitely someone I always keep an eye on. Set This House in Order is one of my favorite-ever books by a local author.
everyone should have a piano.
No cake for you, Non.
And congrats to all, but especially to Paul and Lynn!
Annex Theatre/Caution Zero Network - represent!
Congrats all!
Grats, Sherm! You deserve it!
Can't say much about the rest, never heard of them, but I guess they're good choices.
oh, for fucks sake...quit crawling up the "famous" guy's tired old ass.
And what the fuck does Sherman Alexie need with $5k? He lines his litter box with $50 bills.
You couldn't have found a deserving local talent who could use the cash to finish a work in progress? I'd rather see you give it to Dina Martina so she can complete her autobiography, "Camel Toes and Cantinas: My 40 Years in Show Bidness"
Nice picks, esp. Lynn Shelton. congrats to all! Has anyone sent the Stranger a cake for this running feature?
A box of cupcakes would be a better choice, josh.
That Lynn Shelton is a very attractive young man.
Keep crying, strangeways. Alexie is a genius.
Thank you michael @13, my thoughts exactly. After reading the "article" Alexie wrote last week, it becomes glaringly obvious that this award will do little more then stroke his already grotesquely over-inflated ego... and at best, the money will supply him with 50 more sheets of toilet paper.
What a waste.
I should remind everyone that Genius is a merit-based (not a need-based) award. Otherwise we'd call it the Pretty Talented but Financially Insolvent Awards.
The Genius net is big enough to catch people poor and rich, famous and unknown, early-career and late-career. The only requirements are that the winners live in Seattle and that the Genius CommitteeDave Schmader, Jen Graves, Charles Mudede, Paul Constant, Annie Wagner, Christopher Frizzelle, and meagrees that their work is genius.
Each of the winners meets that criteria.
Savage isn't on the committee?
@19 hahahaha. Best first paragraph. Also, has it really been a >year since the last ones? That is insane. I remember that night so vividly - not that we made it INTO the party.
Cake or Death!
yay!!!! Congratulations to everyone!!! Wynne and Sherman are so deserving. Both have reduced me to tears at one time or another. Will have to go read up on the others... What great picks!
The Stranger is the coolest weekly paper evar. Notification via cake? THAT RULES!
In that case, Ann Rule would be a better choice than Alexi...
Brendan @19: you've a right to your criteria. But as someone who's actually paid attention to your Genius awards over the years, giving one to Sherman Alexie is a big eye roller, and it adds to an image of The Stranger as losing its place at the forefront of culture in Seattle. I look forward to the awards announcement each year because it tells me about someone, or some organization, I've nevever heard of. Or - better - it reminds me to check out someone I've just begun to hear buzz about.
I and the rest of the world don't need you to bring Sherman Alexie to our attention. We already know who the hell he is.
And the Alexie Suckfest continues...
Any little credibility the Genius Awards have just went swirling down the drain...
Yuck. I'd have rather seen Paul Mullin get a cake in the face for that ridiculous piece of crap The Ten Thousand Things.
@28 Couldn't agree more. That was by far the worst piece of theatre I have EVER seen in Seattle. Never have I been so angry coming out of a play. Angry at the total bullshit I just had to witness and that a group which I respect (WET) would subject it's audience to such drek.
lynn shelton is awesome
@28&29: God, you guys have not been seeing enough Seattle theater. That's the worst thing you have EVER seen? Guess you missed the bodyBODY Project.
Oh, god...not another go-round of the Talentless Hipster Circle-Jerk Awards!
Next year, just be honest with yourselves, and throw a big fucking party for your friends. Either that, or do something honorable by donating the money to charity.
(Incidentally? Including Sherman Alexie in the list doesn't make the rest of the panel more talented. Nice try, though.)
Hey A Non Imus:
If giving $25,000 in no-strings-attached grants to Seattle artists doesn't count as charity in your book, stay tuned for Strangercrombie in December, when we raise more than twice that amount for the hungry and homeless.
That counts as charity, right?
uh, doesn't the money come from a corporate sponsor?
Since Lucky Strike blew town, Genius money has come from a lot of placessome of it from sponsors, a lot of it from our own pockets.
Congrats to all the winners - especially Paul. Darn those photo consent forms! At least they didn't search your cake.

Not this time. He and Tony Blair had had a long and inconclusive argument about fraudulent immigration from Bulgaria and Romania.
(Mr Howard has to be careful here, since his father, known then as Bernat Hecht, emigrated from Romania to Wales in 1939, changing the family name to Howard nine years later. On the other hand Mr Hecht was a shopkeeper, and not a one-legged roofer, the recent fraudulent immigrant who has now won the same demonological status in the Tory party once held by Nye Bevan.)
Mr Blair had been slightly more downbeat than usual. He wanted us all to wait for the result of the internal in quiry. Mr Howard said (and I paraphrase) that no one would be convinced by an internal inquiry, especially as illegal immigrants were pouring in - deaf piano tuners, blind bus drivers; you get the idea.
The two men began to swap numbers, all of them entirely meaningless since each of their comparisons started with a different date.
This is the kind of selective nonsense that allows you to prove that under Labour it only rains at night, or that thanks to the Tories, more milkmen whistle George Michael's hits than any other singer.
"Anyone can reduce the numbers if you tell people to wave through applications on the basis of forged documents. Isn't it the case," Mr Howard barked, warming - or rather, in his case, chilling - to his theme, "that the home secretary has lost control of his department, the immigration minister is not up to her job and the government's immigration system is an utter and complete shambles?"
This is the point at which prime ministers are meant to offer unstinting support to ministers under attack. It's like the football managers who get a vote of confidence from the board two days before they're fired.
But nothing came. Is Mr Blair, rattled by the fact that all his focus groups show that immigration is a huge area of concern, preparing to dump Ms Hughes?
If so he will find himself dealing with a very angry home secretary.
But Mr Blair has not been doing his job for nearly seven years without learning a few tricks. Like people who count cards in Las Vegas, he counts questions. He knows precisely when Michael Howard has just made his seventh and last intervention. It is when he strikes.
"This issue," he said with grave blandness, "should be handled with care, for very obvious reasons, and I'm not sure today that you have quite fulfilled that."
The implication that, by calling attention to government failings, Mr Howard had somehow fired up racial ill-feeling, was clear enough - and of course infuriating.
No wonder Mr Howard dropped the playful scowl and replaced it with a real one.
His arms were folded across his chest and he began to glower at the floor, as if he could not even risk making eye contact with the prime minister.
At that moment a consoling hand reached from the benches behind and patted him on the shoulder. It was Michael Fabricant, a friend in need indeed, wig meeting Tory.
But nothing would console his leader, who continued to stare angrily like a basilisk with indigestion.

General Election could be shot in arm for United Kingdom economy
The economy could enjoy a business investment boost if the general election ushers in greater political certainty, according to an independent think tank.
The Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) said a Conservative victory on June 8 could bolster stability, encouraging firms to invest and supporting economic growth.
However, it also warned that a stronger Conservative government could pose a threat to growth if the party's moderate stance on immigration gives way to more stringent controls.
Scott Corfe, director of Cebr, said: "On the upside, an increased Tory majority, which would almost certainly be the result of an election, will increase economic and policy stability and reduce the current sense of business uncertainty.
"Increased certainty should feed through into higher levels of business investment, supporting growth in the short term."

Horst Wenzel, known also known as "Mr. Flirt," gives classes to refugees who seek to blend into German society. His main focus? Teach them how to sweet talk women. Let's hope their sad pick-up lines fail to impress the blue-eyed beauties, because we know they only have one goal: To make the blonde hair, blue-eyed, fair skinned, race extinct.
This is what AP Germany teaches:
SUBJECT: Pickup lines
"Mr. Flirt" gave a few examples to his class of Iraqi refugees. "I really love the scent of your perfume," he suggested. "You have a beautiful voice." Then he invited his students to take a stab.
Essam Kadib al Ban, raised his hand and words vomited from his mouth in one EPIC fail: "God created you only for me," he said, then tried another: "I love you. Can I sleep over at your place?"
Wenzel winced, but caught himself quickly, and regained his composure.
He explained the obvious: "Don't tell them you love them at least for the first three months of your relationship, or they'll run away," "German women don't like clinginess." (Or any woman might I add for that matter!)
"Finding a relationship is the best way to integrate, and that's why I'm giving these classes," Wenzel stated.
Last week, in downtown Dortmund, he offered his third installment of "How to fall in love in Germany," taking 11 young men through the paces. The students conceded they had a lot to learn.
Omar Mohammed, a shy, 24-year-old goldsmith from Syria with spiky black hair and almond-shaped eyes, said he's attracted to German women, with their Nordic looks and punctuated accents. But they remain a mystery to him, and he has no idea how to approach them.
"It's hard to meet a girl when you don't speak the language well and can't really talk to them," he said. "There are a lot of differences, not only the culture and religion — we just don't have this total freedom at home."
Still, he said, "I'd love to marry a German woman and live with her. She could help me with the language, and she knows the place and the laws much better than I do."
Some German women were receptive to the idea. Jasmin Olbrich, having a quick lunch of French fries at a food truck outside the educational center, said she liked the Middle Eastern looks and complained that German men "drink too much beer, watch way too much soccer and are just so white!"
"We are really benefiting from the class," Kadib al Ban said. "The teacher is telling us how German women think, how to talk to them … and understand their traditions."
Wenzel usually charges 1,400 euros ($1,500) for a private one-day class, or 4,000 euros for a group. The tall blond is an authority in Germany when it comes to the art of seduction, giving flirting advice on TV and radio. He says a half-million Germans follow his "flirt university" blog on how to find Mr. or Mrs. Right. For the migrants, Wenzel is volunteering his time in occasional classes across the country.
"A lot of the guys are absolute beginners when it comes to flirting, dating and sex," he said.
The class got off to a rocky start. The migrants, unsure what to expect, sat with their coats on and their arms crossed, eyeing their cheerful coach suspiciously.
Wenzel chatted about pick-up lines, paying compliments and original ideas for first dates. Impress and entertain the girls, Wenzel advised. Invite them to the theater, rock climbing, a concert, or take them on a trip to London or Amsterdam. That last piece of advice would probably work better for Wenzel's regular clientele of rich Germans; asylum seekers aren't allowed to leave the city they're registered in, and don't have the money to travel in any case.
Then he moved on to sex.
"Men and women have sex all the time — on the first, second or third date, that's normal." Wenzel said. "It's not a big deal in Germany."
The men in the room giggled, but snapped to attention.
When Wenzel delved into the differences between male and female orgasms and how to correctly arouse a woman they fell silent again. Several men turned bright red and others looked down at the floor in embarrassment.
One of the students became indignant, whispering in Arabic to the man next to him: "But having sex before marriage is a sin; it's haram!"
Might I add a suggestion for this man? If you don't want to fool around before you're married stick to someone who has the same religion as you, preferably a woman who is okay with having no freedom and getting beaten. Good luck with that.
The teacher then asked how to impress a German woman. One student suggested getting ripped at the gym. Wenzel countered that most women don't go for the body-builder type, rather a personality type. Another ignorantly suggested picking up a date in a Ferrari, to which Wenzel replied that would attract women interested only in money.
When class let out, most of the men said they'd learned a lot and were eager to put their new skills to use.
Then the hugest idiot of them all, Kadib al Ban, spoke up in his crackly voice:
"I'd happily have a German girlfriend," he confirmed. "But when I get married, I want to have a girl from my country who shares my culture and my traditions."
These men are pigs, no amount of "flirting" classes will help them with what should come naturally and as common sense. Unless some women are even dumber than I suspected they will see right through these animals who only see them as a piece of meat and not a real human. This class should be called "How to trick a German girl into bed".

So, now we're supposed to believe that the Tea Party members are just a bunch of normal but misunderstood citizens. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just watch and listen to the words of their newest hero Ted Cruz to see what motivates them. They do not believe in democracy as any time there is a democrat in the White House, they try to close down government. Particularly when a black man is in the white house. They are anarchists, bigots, and racists by their own actions and words. They also don't believe in the facts or science; hence, global warming is a hoax. Tell that to the thousands of people across the West who have lost their homes in wildfires during the warmest period in modern history. Tea party members are takers who only want govt benefits for themselves. "Don't mess with my SS or medicare, but deny health care to anyone else. Misunderstood? No Tea Party members, we know exactly what you are!

On top of the financial losses to the businesses, what was the REAL dollar amount for the town to pay for the extra police coverage, town employees getting overtime pay to put up barricades, cone zones, trash, closing off bond park and the cleanup afterwards?
add those numbers all together and see what this really cost the town as a whole, even Safeway employees said the race day was like walking into Safeway in the middle of winter, no one in the store!

RE:'Pro Challenge was an economic disaster' by Jon Nelson
The 2012 race had an estimated $100 million economic impact to Colorado. Estimates from other destinations that have hosted the USA Pro Challenge value the media impact anywhere from $2 to $4 million, which is valuable publicity for Northern Colorado as it recovers from the impacts of wildfires in 2012...
The numbers are not in yet Jon but we all doubt your admittedly 'unscientific' opinion will hold water once they are...
From our perspective the race was an unmitigated success & we look forward to having it back again in 2014 & 2015

have been a boon to the state as a whole, and as stated, let's wait and see that final tally, however, the race day in Estes was NOT a boon to the town, it was a day of major losses for many small businesses, and, not so small businesses.
In a tourism driven town like Estes, we have about a 4 month "big business" season, then it drops off, when a hit like that is taken right at the end of the season, it hurts in a big way, and may not be offset until next season, making surviving the winter here all the more difficult, and that's the real issue here, not the "big picture" of how it benefited the whole state, but the impact on small business owners and the employees who for some reason want to work and be paid year round.
As also pointed out, not just the impact on the aforementioned, but the out of pocket expense put out by the town, which the state as a whole will not compensate the town of Estes or it's business owners for either.

the sand disaster. Cheerleader Charlie is out cerculating surveys to see how much people like him. When it gets to me, if it gets to me, I will run out of pencil lead Xing the not at all box. We need people with clear heads and clear hearts, not cheerleaders who would get on board a reunion of Nazi sympathizers and racist skinheads if their favorite town board member tells them to pump the hell out of it.

Mr Cope. It's like Yogi Berra said about his favorite restaurant in St. Louis: "Nobody goes there anymore. Its too crowded."

Hit the nail on the head. Kind of like the extremists in the south who claim that their organizations aren't as much anti-black as they are pro-white. The proof is there as to what they are all about. The posters with the president depicted as the villain from Batman, Adolf Hitler and a primitive man with a bone through his nose!
Survey most of the crowds at Tea Party rallies and they skew heavily to the over 60 crowd. Carrying signs and shouting about fiscal responsibility while they insist that no one lay a glove on their Social Security and Medicare. Hypocrites!
Meanwhile, they continue to believe that THEIR interpretation of the Constitution is correct. Real good Christians! You would deny the needy some help while you line the pockets of Dick Armey and the Koch brothers who are just using you to accomplish their goals. Go back and re-read early American History. Their is more to it than Glenn Becks spin or the ladies in Estes Park dressed in their Disneyland version of the revolution powdered wigs and tri-corner hats.
People might have some more respect for your group if you would just come clean and state that you want to live in 1913 or 1813 instead of the present. Rafael Cruz, his real name by the way, and his cohorts speak in code and use what are known as dog whistle words. That way they get away with a shout out to their followers while sounding vague as to what they speak about.
Where were all of these screams and hollers for fiscal responsibility when Ronald Reagan was running up huge deficits and George W. Bush spent every last bit of surplus he inherited? Not to mention 2 wars put on the "credit card" and off the books of the federal budget.
If it walks, quacks and looks like a duck, right?

text: Leeds United bid seven figures for Crewe midfielder TSS June 30, 2013 Transfer News 57 Comments Leeds United have bid "seven figures" for Crewe Alexandra midfielder Luke Murphy, according to BBC Radio Leeds reporter, Adam Pope. The news follows unrest amongst Whites fans after days of speculation about the lack of funds Brian McDermott has available to him. While no deal has been agreed yet, and the Whites face competition from at least two other clubs, Pope's claim seems to suggest that GFH Capital, the owners of Leeds United, have found some funds for McDermott to strengthen his squad. Leeds face competition from Blackburn Rovers, who have also had a seven figure bid accepted, and Wolverhampton Wanderers, though their local press expects Murphy to go elsewhere. 24 year-old Murphy has made 186 appearances for Crewe since his début in 2008, scoring 25 times. He was an integral part of Crewe's 2012 League Two play-off and 2013 Football League Trophy winning sides. slick9493 The plot thickens !! MOT Andrew Keogh The thick plottens Ben Packham Wot is goin on????? Leedsusa It does, so everyone quit whining and speculating till all's done MOT Ev ill believe this when i see it……….. henrymouni When you say seven figures, you don't mean our seven midfield players do you? I hope it's true, and we get him. Morcar's Hill The colossus of Crewe will be the lighthouse of Leeds, the attacking point of the midfield Pyramid and the advent of the oppositions mausoleum… Might need another statue outside the ground if this transfer comes off and the boy leads us back to the promised land. Hope this isn't all too Greek for you. henrymouni Ah ha! If we get him it will be the 8th wonder of the world! Fingers crossed!!!! TSS Haha. Brilliant. matt bb Millwall will have paid a loan fee plus we've freed up nearly 900k of wages on Morison, plus Connolly, kisnorbo rachibka off the wage bill as of.monday… If this is true Matthew I'm genuinely curious if Rachubka will find a new club. I can't be the only one. matt bb Yes he May well struggle. But there are plenty of opportunities in China and the states, poor bloke Matthew Yeah pretty much. Although he was shit whilst he was here, he genuinely crumbled infront of the crowd, almost sad to see. Some people have the backbone to perform well at Elland Road, some people fall apart, he fell apart. What he does from here on out is anyones guess. The good thing is, is that we're not paying his wages anymore, complete and utter waste of money there. He won't be missed, but I do hope he finds a career at a club somewhere, probably league 2 or lower. Dave Leeds I'm sure there are 7 figures. Only problem is the decimal point comes after 5 of them. gistheman Brain mc didn't say he had no transfer money did he??? Just not want he had thought. May be gfh have thought they do need to show some money to earn some respect from us fans which if this is true we should be giving some by making some noise at er against Brighton. Fingers crossed mot. henrymouni With it being a last minute bid, he may not have been on Brian's original list. Maybe he has a new list now? Darren iz diz rel lyf? Ev well done for spelling your own name correctly… Rocks and Roll Leeds Joe Bonamassa – Its a new dawn, its a new day AND i'm fee e eeling GOOD!!!! Rock and role and bless my sole, the might whites are on their way back and will be led to glory by the new hero – Luke Murphy, supported by Super Ross Mac Cormack and Chris Dawson (new wonder kid from LUFC) Goodness gracious they have great balls of Fire!!!! mrbigwheels Where am I?. Think I'll check the bottle… spellz I hope we do get him, like I said before the kid looks like a huge bag of potential and I can imagine him doing a sound job with the mighty white shirt on, it will also silence a few saying that GFH are totally broke and give an all round better feeling amongst the fans, lets hope the deal goes through and it is our first 7 figure signing and not our last. Chareose They are totally broke, the manager has as much stated that……..either they have found an external source of cash or this is a load of rubbish spellz If they are spending via whichever source I am happy so I just hope we get the deal done. gistheman When exactly has bm stated gfh are broke??? He said he has to wheel and deal just people reading to much in to what bm has said like 2+2 and making 7 henrymouni I don't think he did. He said he was told to get rid, or sell, in order to bring players in. This would suggest they are struggling for money. BM also said that the money he expected was not there. He was still confident he could do some deals. The investment GFH were hoping for has not materialised yet. Lufc1979ish Why tip off other clubs we have money to spend? mylifeinleeds Exactly my thoughts. Why tell people we have money to spend. Who knows though; we have no idea if this is a Bates last two finger salute to the fans or, if the bid is genuine. Watch this space I guess. TSS Can't see Adam Pope falling for a Bates bluff, nor do I believe he's made it up, it's too easy for Crewe to deny the Leeds bid and ruin his credibility. Personally, I think the bid is genuine (wouldn't have posted it on here otherwise), but that's personal opinion. This site has been going 5 years now and I like to think that part of our success is owed to a refusal to post bullshit rumours. I wouldn't waste fans time with them, and I think that's the reason many of you come back? (Though there are many sites who have been equally successful by doing the opposite). It's not that I'm "in the know" (I've never claimed to be), I just apply common sense to rumours and pay close attention to the more credible sources to see whose information usually turns out to be accurate. henrymouni I agree that Adam Pope is a sound source, and we can only hope we succeed. It would be excellent if we could come out and beat Blackburn & Wolves to the punch. Now that would be a rarity, and a good show for Brian. mylifeinleeds Sorry, both yourself and Adam Pope are very good sources of info, it wasn't a dig at either of you, more of a 'nothing would surprise me' where Bates is concerned – that said, things have moved on quickly, so watch this space I guess. TSS Yeah, I got that. It'll take time for the suspicion to life after so many years of Ken Bates, the man really did a number on our fans. Matthew Perhaps Bates left behind a pot of gold with a note apologising for being a cunt? Iriving08 Smelling salts, Mrs lrving please. Kevin Painter I am going to see my doctor today not feeling too well !!!!!! monkey magic well slap my thigh with a pumpernickel !!!!!!! cynic1 Methinks 'tis a parting gift of 7 figures fron that kindly old gentleman our departing chairman! Don't laugh. Lufc1979ish First day of bates not being chairman and we table a £1m bid for a player. Too much of a coincidence if you ask me. henrymouni IF it is true? Tyler75 If this is true and if you are Luke Murphy surely its a no-brainer to come and play for Leeds and Brian Mac, a proven developer of young talent, rather than Venky's and their rotating Manager of the week policy. I suspect GFH while not having much in the way of spare cash themselves, are not quite without the means to find some funds for Mac.I'm keeping my fingers crossed they can find some more for a quality centre-back partner for Tom Lees. Matthew We went from having the best midfield in the division to one of the worse. Thanks to our former chairman. DUBLIN LUFC Great news if its true, means we've got some cash at least. But i thought we got McDermott in for his nous at finding bargains? £1m for Luke Murphy? Is that good business? Better have more funds coming in if were gonna shell out that much on league 1 players. Smell the coffee So bid £1M for a player en-route elsewhere for more, knowing your bid will be turned down but the supporters appeased…. Or am I being cynical? henrymouni It has been done before, by our club. I doubt Brian would fall for that one though. Maybe it is Good Ken Senselessness's parting shot! TSS I understand your cynicism, it's totally justified, but it hasn't been done before to my knowledge? henrymouni I cannot remember examples but I seem to remember us bidding, and losing out because our bids were too low and/or we would not pay the wages for the 'better' players. Bates' power has just faded thank goodness, but his spirit lives on in his pupil GDR. Goodbye Ken:- Smell the coffee Of course it's been done before, ie lost out on players we've bid for, my worry us intent, do we bid knowing we'll lose out just to show fans activity? henrymouni Burke from Brum. Warnock went in to get him & most of us thought he would be just what we needed – a good winger!! We could not raise the £300/£500 thousand. henrymouni There are many, but the one that sticks in my mind is Wes Hoolahan. He had played for Simon at Blackpool, and was out of the Norwich first team at the time. We could have got him for a nominal fee, but Bates said no, at the death!! What a midfield player he is. djedjedje Great news if true. [Can it be true?] Although, £1m seems a tad generous… but can't complain and all. Anyone else thinking that this so-say £1m has come from Arsenal, Everton, Man City, well one of them, for Sam Byram? Ie. Monday: Leeds bid £1m for Murphy. Wednesday: Leeds land Murphy. Fans jubilant and welcoming at gates of Elland Road of new signing. Friday: Leeds announce that Arsenal had previously agreed to buy Byram for £3m with £2m paid upfront earlier in the week. Fans and McDermott pacified with part of the deal seeing Byram return to Leeds on a season long loan. It wouldn't be the worst result in the world (£3m is cheap of course, but we'll never get the £8m being pimped about, and certainly not upfront), and would be a good keychain of PR by the club as pre-season / season ticket sales kick in. TSS Didn't want to say it, but the thought has crossed my mind. Can't complain either way though, if we don't have the money for McDermott to balance this squad I can see the sense in selling Byram (if funds are reinvested). I;d rather keep him, obviously, but there's no point being strong in only one position. Not if the sale of that one player can make you strong in several. djedjedje Agreed. If Byram is going then I'm at least glad we are bringing in relatively young talent with the transfer money received, and not just using it to finance the wages and signing on fee of the not-so-young Hunt. Matthew If worse comes to worse and Byram does go. If we have him back for a Season long loan, it'll at least give McDermott a year to find a replacement, and if its an academy product, all the better. I don't think we'l lose Byram to be honest, I think he'll start against Brighton, still a full 100 percent Leeds player, and not a loanee. henrymouni It has crossed my mind too, but how much of the money would Brian get? Unless it is a substantial amount, he might as well keep him. We have sold too many 'Best players' not to learn the lesson. henrymouni I think Sam is better than Ince, and is worth at least as much. Brian does want to keep Sam, and even it hampers him with other purchases, it may be worth it? A loan back is a good shout, but I don't think Brian would play those silly games, of pretending he wants him to stay when a deal is done? Also -Sam wants to stay, and he could be worth a lot more next season. Joe This would be a great buy. Some people probably think £1m is a tad steep considering he's a league one player, but I'd rather have 3 signings like this and the Matt Smith, that have resale value and will be around for the long term, than a change-everything warnock style recruitment spree on 10 'proven' journeyman players. At the end of the day, the squad we have might not be perfect, but it's got a solid enough backbone in the form of Kenny Lees, Byram, Peltier, Mccormack, Diouf, Austin and Green and we should build on it, rather than starting from scratch for the second season running. henrymouni He would be a sound buy for £1 Joe. Speaking of Kenny, I wonder where Paul Robinson will end up? Old Goat Think his wages would be out of our range but on the subject of keepers it looks like Cairns is back in the fold after a long loan spell in non-league football. Not sure where he is contract-wise but if he's not in BMD's plans you'd think they'd have cut him loose already. Surely we'll not go with three keepers if money is tight – sure there might be injuries but a standby keeper is usually easy enough as an emergency loan. Kenny is not far into his contract and probably on a big wage. He was also well in with NW. Maybe there have been soundings.

Video from William Basinski's June 2014 performance of "Cascade" at ISSUE, produced by The New Yorker to accompany Sasha Frere-Jone's feature on him in the November 10th issue.
Brian Eno once said that "repetition is a form of change," but Basinski's tape loops physically revise that and bring the idea back as "repetition is change."
I first heard "Cascade," to be released in March, at Issue Project Room, in Brooklyn, in June. As Basinski played, projections—mostly images of rippling water—made by Elaine fell over him and his equipment. Though "The Disintegration Loops" holds gravitas, it is not his most severe or dark work. That prize might go to "Cascade."

Website: http://www.universalyums.com/
This is their first box, the December Box, which will start shipping in Dec.
Universal Yums shipping by priority mail and was delivered by USPS.
First Look: The first thing I noticed was the brightly colored tissue paper. They arranged the tissue paper to look like the German flag.
The information card had a phrase in German and it's translation. There were also faqs about Germany on the information card. Did you know the Germans invented the pregnancy test?
The back of the information card has all the snacks in the box with a picture and description. This really stood out to me, as it can be hard to identify some international snacks, without a picture.
Haribo Gold Gummy Bears: Oh my goodness this are good. Granted you can find these in the USA, but they come from Germany and I was glad to see them.
Hitschler Softi Kaubonbob: This is really soft, sweet, taffy. I tried the
Kinder Happy Hippo Hazelnut: I know Kinder, because they make that really cool Kinder Eggs with surprises in them. These hippos are made with real hazelnuts, milk and a crispy wafer. This little hippo is so cute, I hate to eat him.
Ritter Sport: This is a milk chocolate with praline. They were created by Alfred and Clara Ritter in 1912. This sounds really tasty and I can't wait to try it.
Schluckwerder Marzipan: This is chocolate covered Marzipan. I have tried something like this before, and it was really tasty!
Dr. Quendt's Dinkelchen: These contain your daily dose of fiber! These are chocolate covered crunchy bites. They didn't taste "healthy" at all, and they were really good.
Leibniz Choco Pick Up: These are described as tasting like an American s'more. I didn't tell my husband and had him taste it. C said it tasted like a s'more without the marshmallow. I agree and think they taste wonderful.
Manner Lemon Waffers: These snacks are from Austria, but Universal Yums wanted them included. These are lemon filled cream wafers. YUMMY!
Saltett's Classic: I have never been a big pretzel fan. I usually will eat a couple, if they are around, but that's about it. These pretzel sticks are a whole other story. These are very light, crispy and have just enough salt. My husband also loves these and keep snatching the bag. The bag is pretty big, so there is enough to share.
Curly Peanuts: These are like cheese curls, only made with real, salted peanuts. Because my oldest is allergic to peanuts, we don't keep peanuts in the house. i enjoyed a few and C is taking them to work to enjoy.
Naturals Paprika Chips: I agree with Universal Yums that these taste like BBQ chips with a mild after taste. I am eating these for lunch tomorrow.
Monster Munch: I saved the best for last. These are light, airy and cheesy. They taste similar to Munchos, but cheesy. I couldn't find a link to these, which makes me sad, because they will be gone tomorrow. These are cute little ghost with smiley faces. What more could you ask in a snack. I really loved these and I need to find a way to get more.
Final Thought: This was the first box for Universal Yums, and they nailed it! I didn't do a cost breakdown, as many of the products are from German websites. All the snacks I have tried so far, have been wonderful. I am not usually this impressed with food boxes, but Universal Yums has is all; cute packing, well thought out themes, and great tasting snacks. If you are looking for a snack box, consider Universal Yums! HERE. Universal Yums is also going to give one of my subscribers a box! Just enter below.

This American Dad Is At The Grocery Store To Feed His Family, You'll Be SHOCKED By What The Woman Behind Him Does When She Notices He's Using Food Stamps.
Nearly 46 million US citizens rely on food stamps as a form of welfare . The food stamps are there to help those people who might have trouble putting food on their family's table. It is an essential part of the economy that helps people who can't find a job or who don't make a decent income in their current role. We don't think there is anything wrong with using food stamps when you need to – you'll die if you can't eat, right? But somehow there is always people who look down on those less fortunate than them.
So onto today's video – When this American dad tried to pay for his groceries at Walmart, the woman behind him in the queue decided to become quite offended by the fact that he was using food stamps to pay for his food. After that we can see a terrible argument (with both of their kids watching) about the welfare system.
It's hard to hear what she says, but he says in reply "You know, I put in 50-60 hour weeks… trying to provide for my family."
After that there is a sad argument, where the woman accuses him of voting liberal (like that's a bad thing??) , but only so he can get free food stamps. "That's exactly what you vote for, they give it to you so that you vote that way. I'm not stupid. I have a degree. I'm pretty damn smart," she tells him rather unconvincingly.
No matter what your opinion is on people using food stamps, we have to say that publically shaming someone is the worst thing ever, especially when they are just trying to do right by their family. You have to watch the full video below to see why we're so passionate about this!
And tell us what you think!

Stock #1456-LOU
Engine: 327 CID V8
Transmission: M20 4 Speed Manual
Mileage: 94243 ( undocumented )
Body Style: Hardtop
Exterior Color: Burgundy
Interior Color: White
Our Louisville Showroom is proud to present this classic 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS. This American, steel machine is powered by a period correct 327-cubic inch small block Chevy V8 engine. With a dual exhaust that will take you back in time, you rumble down the road with a rhythmic rap and burble. Backing the epic bowtie engine is the classic Muncie 4 Speed .1964 was the first year for the third-generation Impala. The car is solid and in lovely driver quality condition. The red exterior is complimented by a set of period correct rally wheels with the classic spinner hubcap wrapped in radial tires. Talk about color combinations, the red exterior with white interior is one gorgeous and killer combination. The sport buckets up front beg to be sat in and hug the center console and Hurst shifter nicely. The custom wood grain steering wheel adds a nice custom touch. This is a very well maintained/restored classic that gives you a reason to go cruising on Friday night. Let the stresses of the work week dissolve away; hearing the exhaust purr, we assure you, it won't take long. For 1964, the Impala was slightly restyled, reverting to a more rounded, softer look. The signature taillight assembly had an "upside-down U" shaped aluminum trim strip above the taillights, but the individual lights were surrounded by a body-colored panel. Options on this 1964 Chevy Impala SS for sale include: seat belts, vinyl interior, radial tires, and aftermarket wheels.

US aim in Arab world is to install regimes that would act in US interests - polytical analyst
The forceful, bulldozer-style foreign policy of the US in reality is quite ineffective. Under a close examination it turns out that many geopolitical projects the Washington has fulfilled lately have ended in a failure or in huge damage being inflicted upon those who found themselves in its interest zone. Moreover, the publically declared goals in most cases do not coincide with the real ones, points out Vilen Ivanov, an advisor to the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"When they supposedly want for the democracy to develop in some place, for the human rights to be honored and under that pretext take some practical steps, it is clearly just a cover-up to reach the real goals. They are quite pragmatic and related primarily to the US economic interests and the US attempts to create satellites for itself, which would support it. And they are no picky about methods used to reach their goals, including direct use of power. Often they manage to reach their goals, but they don't forecast the consequences, which would then hurt them and their policy as a boomerang," he said.
In the last ten years the Arab countries have been the main geopolitical interest for Washington. The United States has had greedy intentions towards those countries for a long time. But it decided to seriously take on that region just recently. The global economic crisis that started in 2008 served as a push for that. It was back then that the American authorities decided to try to completely take the Arab countries under their control, thinks Vyacheslav Matuzov, head of the Society of Friendship and Business Cooperation with Arab Countries.
"The Arab world is attractive for the USA for one simple reason – it is a strategic region of the world, the crossroads of global communications. And the main thing – it is the primary source of energy resources. What is going on now is an attempt to strengthen the US influence to go to a tougher control, to install regimes in those countries, which would be acting fully in US interests. They want to remove all the regimes, which could potentially be opponents to the United States, which clearly do not fit in with the general geopolitical strategy of the Americans," he said.
There are many examples of the US interference in other countries' affairs. For example, Washington's policy in Iraq has led to consequences tragic for that country and has not decreased the terrorist threat n the world at all. Next in line is Afghanistan, from which the US is pulling out its troops. In the time of the US presence in that country its social and economic situation has greatly deteriorated, while the production of drugs has gone up multiple times.
The situation with Libya is no less dramatic. Colonel Gaddafi was killed and in the American sense the evil was punished. However, there is no peace and accord in the country whatsoever. Moreover, the state is at the verge of extinction. The entire Arab Spring supported by Washington did not bring any good not only to the Middle East and Northern Africa, but also to the United States itself. The number of people who hate the US for its rude and often meaningless interference in other countries affairs has gone up multiple times.

Walking Around Barcelona at Night
I'm in zombie mode on Air Transat Flight 268 from Toronto to Barcelona. The flight departed 10:35 pm and I was awake most of the night. The Toronto night that is. Little did I know that I would be walking around Barcelona for hours. I landed in Barcelona at 12:30 pm, Saturday. I paid €11.80 for a round-trip ride to Plaza Catalunya via the AeroBus, then €9.95 for a ten-ride, … [Read more...]
Photographing Iceland with Paul and Vincent
I just returned from photographing Iceland with my travel photography partner, Paul Porter. The experience wants us to return to Iceland in winter.

Azalea went on another Tweeting spree after teasing the new clip.
We can't judge an entire song based off a low quality-sounding demo, so before we give our opinion let's wait for something more... official.
In the mean time, yes, Azalea had another itch to Tweet and blasted out a series of messages about the new album and a couple clips of her riding a horse, because why not?
Tweets by @IGGYAZALEA
Iggy Azalea shared a bit of new music from her forthcoming record.Azalea took to Twitter earlier this week to check in with fans. She brushed off shade from Erykah Badu who essentially said the Australian music maker wasn't a rapper, then addressed her upcoming album which she told fans in October is named Digital Distortion. She says the record is finished (aside from recording the features) but admits: "I don't really know what im doing with my music release." Early Saturday morning (Dec. 5), Azalea proved she meant what she said and shared a short clip of a demo we assume is destined for the album:
Late last night... watching these geeks dance around to demos like it was 2011 again, and laughing about it all. pic.twitter.com/k8osbCduGU— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) December 5, 2015
