How many of you have ever been scared to death by a how crazy a Christian can be?
A couple of months ago I was working on doing emails for my internship. It was in the public computer lab area. And... well... let's say I NEVER would have suspected what was going to happen next.
Everything seemed to be going well until I heard a young woman shrieking nearby. I turned around and saw that she was red as a lobster in the face and her eyes were wild while she was shrieking at a young man sitting in front of one of the computers who was looking at her quietly bewildered, shocked, and upset. [It was a one-woman argument... or rather a one-woman screaming fest... O_O]. I had a hard time hearing what she was screaming at him about [she was so hysterical that her words were almost incoherent]... but I did catch a couple of words and the fact that everyone in the computer lab was staring at her. The words I caught were "God" "Jesus" and "How DARE you!" The young man was hard to make out for a different reason... he was so overwhelmed by her reaction that his responses to her shrieks were nearly inaudible mumbles.
Of course... as an atheist when I heard this combination of words... my thoughts were [Oh crap!] I was wishing I could escape... but in order to get to the door... I would have to pass the crazy woman. So... I tried to look as invisible as possible as I leaned my face as close as possible to the screen and became suddenly very interested in my emails. [lol].
Despite my attempt to be invisible she must of seen me.... because next thing I knew I jumped about a foot in the air [okay that's an exaggeration... but you get it right?] and my heart nearly stopped when I suddenly heard her start shrieking at me [right next to me... she made my ears ring for a while afterward].
Of course, now everyone was staring at us... and I was becoming very agitated, uncomfortable, and embarrassed. It only made it worse that I had no idea who she was... or why she was shrieking about him at me.
Finally I made the mistake of the week. She got me so uncomfortable that I quietly blurted out that "Umm.... maybe you need to work this out with him. I really don't care because I don't believe in God."
She looked like a bomb had gone off in her mind. And then... she started on me.
"WHAAAAAAT?!!! HOWWWW CAN YOU NOT BELIEVE IN GOD?!!! HE SAAAVEED YOU!! [shrieking even louder] YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE, RIGHT?!! YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE HE PUTTT YOU HERE!!! HE CREATED YOU!! HOW DARE YOU INSULT HIM LIKE THIS!!"
It goes without saying that this was a very strange and unpleasant experience.... and if you ask me... that fishie lady needs SERIOUS psychiatric help!! O_O

Well, Galen, I know you not at all, but I give you exhibit A:
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU STUPID CUNT before I bash your fucking face in!"
If that isn't you being angry, then I am can only assume you are Dr David Banner.
IMO, bullying is sustained abuse from one individual to another (maybe several) individuals over a period of time - I should know, I have been bullied. What you had here was an ignorant, frightened person lashing out about something that had been forced into her over a period of years. By bullies, perhaps...
We have an ex Prime Minister over here, a rather wet and grey individual called John Major - he had an expression: "We should should try to understand less, and condemn more" - a right wing mantra if ever I heard one...
As obnoxious and appalling as her behaviour was, she should be pitied, not threatened with violence.
Hey, it's up to you, this is all about opinions, not right and wrong...
I hope that I didn't piss you off. Sometimes I have a tendency to ... you know... "open mouth - insert foot." lmao ^_^
Nah... actually... weirdly... your the second person in a year to ask if I was a mod. O_o I guess it's just cause I'm addicted to this site? lol
Do people not get it, the fear instilled in people from childhood?
This reaction, whilst hysterical, is pretty understandable when you have built your life around fairy stories.
It shows how powerful religion is, and why it is such a problem.
She needs to be pitied. And there but for the grace of (insert random deity) go any of us...
I am so jealous you got to experience that without me there. :)
I would have had a field day with her. How dare she do that to you. How dare she disgrace humanity in such a way!
" Actually lady , God does exist. But only in your delusional mind. You didn't know Jesus was actually a homosexual and God crucified him because he had 12 apostles who he was screwing every day!? That is why Jesus got crucified. Punishment for his sins. "
See how she reacted to that. (Or something similar)

Thank Clinton, and leave your data
Dear reader: A Democratic interest group needs you – yes, you! – to help thank Hillary Clinton for her service as secretary of State.
Over the last week, countless thousands of liberal-leaning voters have received emails from advocacy organizations enlisting them in a triumphant sendoff for the former first lady. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, EMILY's List, Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign have all contacted supporters with a simple request: sign a thank-you card for Clinton and show her how much you care.
Story Continued Below
"Hillary's really going to love this," the DCCC wrote in an email last Friday. "Since yesterday, over 170,000 of you have thanked Secretary Clinton for her almost thirty years of service to this country. That's incredible!"
( PHOTOS: Hillary Clinton's world tour, 2009-2012)
Blasting out a compendium of "Hillary's best moments" at the State Department, EMILY's List told recipients: "We're so grateful for Hillary's service to our country and for being a beacon of hope to women around the world and we know you are too … P.S. If you haven't added your name to our thank you card for Hillary's service to our country, give Hillary your message of thanks and sign right now."
A Tuesday email from Planned Parenthood began with the subject line: "Say THANKS to the one and only Hillary."
Of course, there's more than simple gratitude at play here. By urging recipients to sign their names to a list, groups can collect information about their backers and the issues that engage them. Using social media to push out thank-you messages – or petitions, "birthday cards" and other such signature-gathering items – campaigns and outside groups expand their universe of contacts for the future.
Ideally, recipients forward the messages to their friends and family, and more email addresses pile up.
It's a testament to Clinton's unique place in Democratic politics that so many groups would hold her up as a figure for their supporters to rally around: more than any other politician, except maybe President Barack Obama, she commands broad and energetic loyalty across the center-left.
The groups "thanking" her this week say there's nothing insincere about their applause for Clinton. If they happen to be building their email lists and databases at the same time, that takes nothing away from her status as a national political symbol and substantive accomplishments on areas such as LGBT issues and women's rights.
"There are people that, for reasons you cannot fully explain, become icons. And she is one of them," said Fred Sainz, vice president of the pro-gay rights Human Rights Campaign. "She is deserving of this moment where her decades of service are acknowledged."
Said Sainz: "The gays love Hillary. There's really no more simple way to say it."
Democratic strategist Tracy Sefl, a veteran of the 2008 Clinton campaign, joked that it's "only unfortunate [Clinton] couldn't get a commission for every single time her name has helped."
( PHOTOS: Hillary Clinton's life, career)
"She's been out of politics for four years. The real, human, living, breathing Hillary Clinton has been out for politics for four years. But she is unarguably the nucleus for Democratic politics looking ahead," Sefl said. "While she is catching up on her sleep, I hope that the same groups that are fundraising and list-building are also furthering her good work."
Clinton isn't the only figure who's served as an electronic crowd-pleaser over the last few years, amid the dawn of the digital campaign age. Republican groups have urged their voters to "Stand with Paul Ryan" – or Sarah Palin, or Allen West, over the course of the 2010 and 2012 campaigns.

Bruins start home-and-home with shutout of Senatorsby Matt Kalman
BOSTON -- The Ottawa Senators' latest attempt to win consecutive games was no match for the Boston Bruins' recent superiority on home ice.
The Bruins ran their winning streak at TD Garden to eight games by defeating Ottawa 5-0 Friday behind a 33-save shutout by Tuukka Rask and two goals from Reilly Smith. The teams play at Ottawa on Saturday.
Boston (26-10-2) has a point in its past 15 home contests (13-0-2) after Jarome Iginla, David Krejci and Brad Marchand also scored. The point streak is their longest since they went 20-0-3 from Nov. 13, 1982-Feb. 28, 1983.
To earn this win, the Bruins had to shake off a lackluster first period and turn their game around over the final 40 minutes.
"I think our determination," Bruins forward Milan Lucic said about the change in his team's play. "We were making soft plays and weren't hard on the puck in the first period and we just talked about that, correcting that, and we seemed to get our feet moving and start making plays in the [offensive] zone and taking the puck to the net. And fortunately we were able to get rewarded for it."
Rask has four shutouts this season. The past three games he's started, the Bruins have scored 15 goals.
"The third [period] hasn't always been our strong part, and lately it's become that; you know, we really put teams away, and that's something you have to do," Rask said. "At times it drains you when the games are always 1-0 or 2-1 and you have to really be sharp up there. So it's good to get a little cushion there once in a while. Obviously it's not going to happen every time, but I'm just happy that the past couple of games it did."
Robin Lehner stopped 37 of 42 shots for the Senators, who are 0-3-1 in their past four road games. The Senators, who defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-0 on Monday before the three-day Christmas break, have lost eight straight times following a victory.
"I don't know what to say," Lehner said. "Twenty good minutes and 40 bad ones."
The Senators felt like they let their goaltender down.
"We had a good first 20 minutes but got nothing out of it," Senators captain Jason Spezza said. "Then we don't play well at all, we left Robin out to dry there for the last 40 minutes, disappointing effort."
By the first official timeout in the second period, the Bruins, who were outshot 15-5 in the first period, had righted their ship. Boston outshot Ottawa 9-2 in the first 6:21 of the second, and forward Matt Fraser hit the post. The trend continued and Boston outshot Ottawa 20-8 for the period.
One of Boston's 20 shots counted more than the others because Iginla scored during a power play. Torey Krug's one-timer from the blue line hit Lucic in front of Lehner, but Iginla was in a fortuitous position for the rebound. Iginla hammered the puck from the right hash mark high to the glove side for a 1-0 lead at 16:29.
The goal was the 541st of Iginla's career, tying him with Hall of Famer Stan Mikita for 29th on the all-time list.
Along the way in the second, the Senators endured a bit of a scare when Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk hit Lehner in the midsection with a slap shot from the right dot. Lehner was attended to by the trainer and stayed in the game.
The Bruins doubled their lead 38 seconds into the third period. Krejci was perfectly positioned to one-time a rebound of a Matt Bartkowski shot off the glass, and the Boston center beat Lehner to the short side from just above the goal line for a 2-0 lead.
With the Senators pressing to try to get a goal, Marchand was able to tip the puck past Erik Karlsson at the Boston blue line and start the 2-on-1 that expanded the Bruins' lead to 3-0. Smith finished the rush with a one-timer at 10:20.
Smith scored his second goal with 3:34 remaining. The Bruins have now had at least one multigoal scorer in seven straight games, matching a franchise record that was set in 1929.
Marchand provided the final margin by scoring a shorthanded breakaway goal with 27 seconds left.
Each team took some time to find its legs in the first game since the break. By the time the first 20 minutes were through, it was apparent the Senators hit their stride before the Bruins. But everything changed after that.
"We got better," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "I thought the first maybe three, four shifts in that first were OK and then we had a couple bad shifts and then they just kind of took it over. The momentum shifted their way for the rest of the period. But we came back in the second, obviously, a little bit more determined, better prepared mentally, I guess, and I thought from there on we played a real good game."
When the teams meet in Ottawa on Saturday, the Bruins will be without Dennis Seidenberg. The defenseman injured his lower body in a collision with Ottawa forward Cory Conacher late in the third period. Julien said Seidenberg was being evaluated and would not make the trip.
The Senators will be looking to rebound.
"The best part of the whole night is the fact that we get to play the same team again [Saturday] and you have a chance to respond," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said. "You have to come in and show that tonight's not the way it is, that we're a much better team and a much different team than the one that finished the game tonight."

Opens like a dystopian fiction, complete with a Big Brother-esque eye/tagline that's defaced from the second-person singular to the first-person plural (the sci-fi vibe is maintained for a good while). The dancing is filmed with that Private Ryan intensity that Ridley Scott perverted in Hannibal and Black Hawk Down. The emotional effect is more cumulative than immediate. Whenever the dancers stomp and the camera earthquake-shakes I can't help but think more fondly of production house Screen Gems' considerably less slick You Got Served, which has a more honest, homegrown feel, despite its silliness. (It's the TV Star Trek where Stomp the Yard is J.J. Abrams' Star Trek—I prefer my Klingon attacks on rickety, tipping sets, I guess, rather than flawless, technically-airbrushed otherworlds.) Funny that both films share "Beautifull" Meagan Good, very charming alongside star Columbus Short as the kid from the wrong side of the tracks who finds his calling at the all-African-American Truth University. With a completely straight face, the film connects his step-dancing quest to the work of civil rights leaders like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King. Credit cast and crew with making us believe it, for the most part, even if the pro-education message-mongering does weigh things down needlessly. There's a discussion to be had about race in these modern musicals I'm watching: the lily-white Center Stage, the have-it-all-ways-or-as-much-as-Disney-allows Step Up series, the ghetto-chic of You Got and Stomp—though at least You Got has some credible, innately complicated supporting characters like Esther Scott's Grandma (much more than her "Mmm-hmm!" platitudes). Interesting that the '80s musicals I've seen, like Breakin' and its sequel, paint African-American life with a rainbow (or at least presents it as a very, very likely outcome—Reagan's morning?). With You Got and Stomp, it's "Guns, guns, guns." And, perhaps more truthfully, when glory comes (MTV-sanctioned, of course), the films don't negate or deny the tragedies that came before.

Posted on November 10, 2010
Yeah, I might as well admit it. I had all those books for the cart outside the A.C. McClurg Bookstore stockpiled since about mid-September. But I waited until after Halloween to put them out, didn't I? Shouldn't I get a little credit?
Anyhow, I thought I would come clean before you notice and start complaining. I did stick with my own traditional November/December attitude in my book selections. Insofar as I was able to indulge it, I adhered the holiday theme of "Frankly I am the only one who understands how to celebrate this holiday properly the way you celebrate stinks in my nostrils and should not be allowed and if you insist on doing things your way you are unpatriotic, unattractive, uncooperative, and a silly old moo." (By the way, I have seen editorials of this nature concerning Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Eve. We really know how to party.)
Since it's fashionable, then, I have indulged my personal holiday preferences to the hilt and if it offends you, that's just the way it goes. I refer, of course, to the fact that you are not going to run into any holiday cookbooks that are low-fat or low-calorie on the carts unless somebody else sneaks 'em in.
Every year I listen to serious talking heads on television intone, "This holiday season, the average American will consume seven times the number of calories recommended for a healthy diet." And I cry, "You betcha! In fact, I'm going for twelve! Let's raise the curve!"
So if you are on of those whose lifestyle includes skim egg nog, I'm afraid you'll have to run to Border's. We're headed for winter, folks: you want to lay down a layer of protection from the chill. Thus theme on the bookstore carts at this time of year is chocolate, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and enough butter to make Wisconsin the richest state in the nation.
And you don't HAVE to try the recipes, after all. You can just LOOK. It's not as if peeking into these books will make you convert overnight and become one of us who will gladly breakfast on sweet potato pie made with maple syrup (page 165; vanilla ice cream optional, it says. Ho ho ho.) We never ask you in July whether you're going to use those cookbooks for anything besides late-night reading when the blinds are pulled down and the children are in bed. Why feel guilty about it in December?
Anyway, if we weren't intended be gluttons in November and December, why do New Year's Resolutions come right after?

NEW YORK—Many New Yorkers live in small apartments, yet most of them don't camp out in a micro-unit at a museum in order to demonstrate the virtues of living in tight spaces.
Challie Stillman and Lina Franco arrived at the Museum of the City of New York at 6 p.m. Friday for a 24-hour stay in a studio apartment that's part of an exhibit called "Making Room: New Models for Housing New Yorkers."
The exhibit, which runs through Sept. 2, also features designs that were submitted to a small-apartment competition announced by Mayor Michael Bloomberg last year.
Stillman and Franco normally live in a 650-square-foot apartment in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. The museum's 325-square-foot studio is half that size but seems spacious because of the specially designed furniture and appliances.
The murphy bed includes a couch that slides under when the bed is out of the wall. A chair converts to a stepladder for reaching storage spaces.
The kitchen's under-the-counter refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher leave ample work space. Stillman and Franco invited six friends for dinner Friday, but they had food delivered because the appliances are not hooked up.
"Everyone had a place to sit, had a place to eat, and it worked out perfectly," said Stillman, who is the design director for Resource Furniture, the distributor of the furniture in the apartment.
Stillman said it would be possible for two people to live in the apartment for real.
"You'd have to edit your belongings, definitely," she said. "And also, you have to be neat. Everything has to have its place, and if it's not in its place, and it's messy in here, you're going to start to get agitated."
Her partner, Franco, a lawyer, couldn't quite see living in the micro-apartment.
"We would need a little more closet space," she said. "We're both girls and we have clothes. And shoes."
Visitors to the exhibit Saturday said they were impressed.
"I would totally live in that apartment if I were on my own," said Rebecca Hersh of Highland Park, N.J., who was accompanied by her mother, Pam, and her two children, ages 6 and 4. "It's all about good design."
Museum-goer Gloria Feibus said she has an actual 300-square-foot Manhattan apartment and it's fine.
"The only thing I don't have is a dishwasher, and I'm a built-in dishwasher," she said.

Strong atheism
Strong atheism is the positive belief that no god exists.
Arguments for strong atheism[edit]
It is often said that one cannot prove a negative. However, this is not really correct, and understanding this hinges on understanding the difference between two kinds of truth: contingent and logical. A contingent truth is one whose validity is contingent on other facts which may or may not be true or known. Scientific truth falls in this category. A logical truth is one whose validity depends only on logic, on the definitions and properties of concepts we ourselves define. An example is whether 2 + 2 can equal 5. It follows from the definitions of 2, 4, 5, +, and = that 2 + 2 can only equal 4, not 5. It is not necessary for a reasonable, fair, and open-minded person to remain agnostic on that question. There is nothing contingent or unknown about it.
A strong atheist would argue that the idea of a god is logically contradictory and therefore cannot exist as most theists define the word. The Christian god is defined as an omniscient, omnipotent, intelligent, aware being which created and was responsible for the universe. The problem of evil is one example of a logical impossibility that comes from believing that the god is also omnibenevolent, this can be avoided by relaxing the requirements on God's qualities.
Since its inception, science has followed an empirical method, a combination of theory and observation. We construct our understanding by working from the simple to the complex. We understand atoms in terms of elementary particles and their forces, such as quarks, leptons, gluons, and photons. We understand molecules and chemistry in terms of atoms and their interactions. We understand biology in terms of the underlying chemistry and its emergent properties. We understand intelligence in terms of the complex interactions of the underlying neurological or electronic substrate.
Of all the things we know of in the universe, the most complex is intelligence. To posit an intelligence as the creator and driving force of everything else makes no sense, since it would itself require explanation in terms of simpler underlying entities. It makes no more sense than 2 + 2 = 5. It is not incumbent upon a reasonable, fair, open-minded person to remain agnostic on that point.
If there were in fact a deity delivering the divinely inspired word of the one true religion to the human race then it would be expected that all religions would converge on the same answers, yet that is not what we see. There are so many different religions with vastly different beliefs that one should question whether there really is an intelligence behind it all. Since religions diverge rather than converge, this should count as evidence against the proposition of a Theistic deity.

text: Kladno is a city in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It is located 25 km northwest of Prague. Kladno is the largest city of the region and holds a population together with its adjacent suburban areas of more than 110,000 people. The city is part of the Prague metropolitan area.The first written evidence of Kladno dates back to the 14th century. In 1561 the city rights were secured. Kladno was the historical birthplace of heavy industry in Bohemia. For years, the town was home to the Poldi steel factory, the region's largest employer. The factory still stands but has been divided into smaller entities after privatisation and changes in ownership. The mining industry began here in 1842. The proximity to Prague helped to keep the local economy stable in spite of the heavy industrial decline after the collapse of the communist regime.Source: Wikipedia

We know everyone is working to flesh out their Pokedex on Pokemon Go, but this weekend Days of Wonder is dropping their own encyclopedia for Small World. The Small World Pocket Encyclopedia is a must-buy for all of the Small World purists and collectors out there. A smartly designed, pocket sized hardcover volume, the Small World Pocket Encyclopedia contains not only a full set of easy-access rules for the game, but also an FAQ, designer notes, and, most importantly, sixty-three individual entries detailing every race and special power from the base game and all of the expansions.
Only the truly rough, tough, and resilient survived during the Great War. The same applies to The Grizzled. A strategic cooperative card game set during World War I, The Grizzled receives its first expansion set this weekend. At Your Orders! provides additional special missions for players to complete during gameplay, both in experienced and novice versions to satisfy new and old gamers alike. Even more exciting, At Your Orders! also provides expanded rulesets for two player or solo play for the original base game.
Like an expanded, card game version of Galaga, Stellar Conflict is another card game set in the Among the Stars universe. Taking place over two tense, speedy rounds, Stellar Conflict plays for ten minutes with two to four players. In round one, players swiftly select ships from a variety of options, choosing them based off of their abilities and availability. Once that round is complete, these ships are deployed against an invading fleet of alien cruisers that must be vanquished by the armada you have chosen. Hopefully you haven't chosen poorly.
You thought you'd solved the mystery and escaped the Mysterium. You were wrong. Mysterium: Hidden Signs is the first expansion for the popular horror tinged game, Mysterium. Expanding the options and gameplay, this set includes six suspects, six locations, and six objects to deepen the gameplay. Forty-two new vision cards are also included in order to provide players with a range of new communication options. Also, if you manage to grab the first printing of this expansion, you'll receive three promo cards that can be used in the base game.
Cryptozoic capitalizes on the extreme popularity of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty series with the first card game based on the show. Featuring a quick learning curve, Rick and Morty: Total Rickall plays well with two to five players over the course of twenty to thirty minutes. Always ready to skewer pop culture, Rick and Morty: Total Rickall is a play off of The Thing, with Rick and Morty attempting to cleanse their house of shapshifting parasites that have disguised themselves as friends and family. Work your way through these opponents, but be careful not to eliminate the real versions!
There is never enough cute cat games in the world. Proving that fact, Kitty Paw is a new dexterity and reaction game out this weekend. For audiences young and old, Kitty Paw is a one to four player game that can take anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes to play. In the game, players rush to draw and play various cat cards in order to match a designated pattern assigned at the beginning of the round. Of course, that's too simple. Players also will be forced to use only one "cat paw" when drawing and playing these cards as well as pulling from the same draw pile as all other players.
Be ready to get those Tie-Fighter sound effects stuck in your head, because Fantasy Flight has just released another Empire expansion for the X-Wing miniature game. In Imperial Veterans, players receive two ships, the Crimson Tie and the Tie-Bomber. The former is all about nimble movement and swift attacking, while the latter hits opponents with a painful barrage of explosives. This expansion contains all of the materials for players to use either or both ships in their next X-Wing game.

These are GREAT!!! Thanks so much. I liked your store pages, and added them to my Pinterest boards too! Wondering how to get the spread sheet...:)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this! I use it each time I have a conference or do a running record with a student. I tell them their strengths and goals and then I send it home with them so their parents know too. Great idea! In fact, it has inspired me to create one for writing. I usually use a two stars and a wish format when I conference with them about their books. I have been hand writing their strengths and goals. Now I've created a Two Stars and a Wish sheet and I circle what they are doing well at and what they need to work on to make their writing even better. Thanks for the inspiration to make things just a little easier! I plan on posting about my writing conference sheet soon and offering it as a free Google Doc. I hope you don't mind.ReplyDelete

Over the past week, my friends and I have been playing on a new roller hockey court that isn't too far from my house. Prior to that, we've been playing on a relatively unused basketball court (pictured above) for months, which has been fun for recreational hockey/pick-up games, but we really wanted to play on a better surface and actually use a puck instead of a ball.
We finally found a roller hockey court where a good number of people play at. Although competitive, no one plays a rough game, there are people of all ages, and unsurprisingly, everyone is White. Except for me (also pictured above) and my brother. Being the only person of color at a hockey court isn't something new to me. When I played for an in-line roller hockey league in high school, I found myself getting self-conscious about it when people, including my teammates, would poke fun at my first and last name. I remember one time, a couple of kids I played hockey with called me a "a stupid Afghanistanian" when I was carrying my hockey gear off the court.
I find myself operating under White gaze a lot, if not always, especially when I'm playing hockey with people I don't know. I can't help but think about how they perceive me, a brown-skinned man, playing a sport that is filled with predominately White athletes (at least here in the United States and with what we see in the NHL). If my friends and I are playing hockey on our old basketball court, I don't feel like I'm going to be judged if I'm wearing my Pakistani cricket jersey or my Egypt and Turkey soccer shirts. I don't worry about it because I'm playing with my friends — people I know. But when it comes to going on this new hockey court, I feel that if I wear a jersey that says "Pakistan" on it, people will be gunning for me or treating me in a rude way.
Maybe I'm thinking and assuming way too much, right? Wrong. Yesterday, before I went to the new hockey court, I swapped my red Egypt soccer jersey for a red Nautica t-shirt. I figured, "I don't want to deal with people giving me smack about my shirt saying 'Egypt' or making some stupid racial slur or whatever." I got to the court, laced up, and said "hi" and "what's up" and "how's it going, man" to all of the people there. Everyone was friendly, conversational, and pretty much just wanted to have fun. So far so good, I thought.
Since there were so many people, we played with line changes, and I think I played at least six shifts the entire day. I ended up doing really well too and scored four goals. When everyone packed up to leave, my friends and I said "good game" to everyone and that was the end of that. Fun day, right? Well, today, my friends and I played at the court again and a friend of mine told me, "Oh man, I have to tell you something. When you scored your second or third goal yesterday, this kid on the bench said, "f****** spic!" My friend said he was going to say something, but before he could, someone shouted at him and said, "yo, watch your language!"
It kind of messed up the rest of my day. I've noticed that some people at that court try to play more aggressive against me (as opposed to others), and it could be because I stick-handle really well and they're just trying to steal the puck from me, but then there's another part of me thinks it's because of my skin color. Playing hockey for a long time in my life means I'm familiar with how the frustration and aggression levels can rise when you're on the losing team or not performing as well as you would like to. When you factor in a brown guy scoring most of the goals for the other team, would it be wrong to assume that the frustration could build into a racial slur?
The word choice of the person who delivered the racial slur just shows us even more how racists don't even know who they hate. It shows how ignorant, childish, and idiotic they are. I am familiar with the racial slur, I know it's directed towards people of Hispanic descent, but since this is the first time I was called it, I decided to run a few online searches just to read about it's origins and use. Reading about it just made me angrier and I don't think it's appropriate to share that information here.
I don't care if people mistaken me for another race, there isn't anything wrong with being Latino, Asian, Arab, or anything else. What is offensive is when people use racial slurs — there is simply no excuse for it. It's offensive, it's racist, it's flat-out wrong. If he thought I was Arab, he would have used another racial slur; if he thought I was South Asian (which is what I am), he would have had a racial slur for that too. The point I'm trying to illustrate here is that I refused to wear a "team Egypt" soccer jersey for the sake of avoiding ethnic/religious stereotypes, but since I'm brown-skinned, I ended up getting stereotyped anyway. How do you hide your skin color, right? Thank God that I don't wish I could hide my skin color, but what about the people who do wish they could hide their skin color just for the sake of avoiding conflict? Maybe there are times when I do feel that way.
If there is something positive that came out of this, it's that it reminded me that people of color face similar struggles. I would say that most people assume I'm Indian (which is correct and incorrect at the same time, lol), but there have been a few people who mistook me for Latino, Arab, and even Greek. When I hear a racial slur that is used against other people of color, it not only angers me, but also makes me think about the struggles they experience. There are so many different stereotypes applied to all of us and they are experiences that we all share. Most of the time, when I'm sharing some of my experiences with racism with a fellow person of color, I feel comfortable because I feel like they can empathize and understand where I'm coming from. This person who used that disgusting word may have thought that it was "ok" or "acceptable" to use it, but I doubt he understands how hurtful it is.
I try to stay positive about it all. At least someone on the bench told him to shut up, right? Much Love to everyone who has experienced any form of discrimination, hate, or racist bigotry in their lives. Keep your chin up, friends.

Here are photos and detailed descriptions of all the parts that make up the 22.5" Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker for model years 2009-2013.
For part numbers and a diagram showing the relationship between parts, visit the Parts Schematics For Weber Smokers page. To see how a WSM is put together, visit the Assembly page.
Click on any of the pictures to view a larger image.
The Weber Bullet has three major sections:
When these three sections are fitted together, they achieve a fairly good seal—not airtight, but a good seal. This is one of the secrets of the WSM's ability to regulate and maintain temperature easily. The sections come apart for easy cleaning and transportation.
Includes thermometer and thermometer bezel.
Lid Handle (2)
The lid is constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a porcelain enamel finish inside and out. It is fitted with two handles, an adjustable vent damper, and a thermometer.
The handles are made of gray, heat-resistant nylon plastic and have the Weber logo stenciled on them.
The vent damper exhausts smoke and heat from the cooker, allowing them to pass over your food for that great barbecue taste. Most WSM owners leave this vent completely open at all times during the cooking process, since inadequate ventilation can cause an off taste in foods. It may be partially closed if the cooker is running much hotter than desired, and should be completely closed at the end of a cooking session to extinguish the coals.
The damper is made of rust-resistant aluminum and is fastened to the lid with a 1/4" aluminum tubular rivet. The two tabs are used to grasp the damper to adjust it, and each damper hole has a stop tab that limits the open/close motion of the damper. There is also a two-character date of manufacture code stamped into the damper.
The thermometer is positioned opposite from the vent damper. It is housed in a plastic bezel and is fastened to the lid using a wing nut.
Photo 7 shows an interior view of the lid.
Middle Cooking
The middle cooking section is constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a porcelain enamel finish inside and out. It holds two grates where all the cooking action takes place, plus the water pan and the access door through which fuel, smoke wood, and water are added during the cooking process.
The water pan and cooking grates rest on four grill straps that are fastened to the inside of this section. Photo 9 shows two of the holes used to attach a grill strap.
Note that sometime in 2010, Weber changed the shape of the access opening on the 22.5" WSM, making the top corners round instead of square (Photo 10). The round shape helps maintain the structural integrity of the curved shape of the middle cooking section when it is rolled during production.
Charcoal Bowl
The charcoal bowl is constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a porcelain enamel finish inside and out. It contains the charcoal grate and charcoal chamber in which the fuel and smoke wood are placed. The bowl sits on three sturdy aluminum legs that provide a stable base for the cooker.
There are three adjustable vent dampers in the charcoal bowl. These dampers are identical to the one in the lid. Each vent damper is adjusted independently throughout the cooking process to control air flow into the charcoal bowl. By increasing or decreasing air flow, fuel combustion is increased or decreased, thus raising or lowering the cooker temperature. Each damper may be fully open or fully closed or somewhere in-between depending on the need to control cooker temperature.
Closing these three dampers and the lid damper at the end of a cooking session will extinguish the coals.
Photos 13-14 show an interior view of the bowl.
Cooking Grates
The 22.5" Weber Bullet has two nickel-plated cooking grates with a combined surface area of approximately 701 square inches. The grates are supported by four grill straps fastened to the inside the middle cooking section.
The top grate has two handles and is situated near the top of the middle cooking section. It is the same grate used in all Weber 22.5" charcoal grills. The bottom grate is slightly smaller in diameter, has no handles, and is situated 9" below the top grate. The smaller diameter is necessary to provide clearance between the grate and the grill straps.
Water Pan
The water pan is constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a porcelain enamel finish. The water moderates the temperature of the cooker, provides a moist cooking environment, and catches any drippings, preventing them from flaring-up on the hot charcoal below.
The pan is supported by the same grill straps that support the two cooking grates.
Charcoal Grate
This grate rests in the bottom of the charcoal bowl on the three screws that attach the legs to the bowl. It holds the charcoal chamber into which the fuel and smoke wood are placed. Ashes fall through the grate into the bottom of the charcoal bowl.
Charcoal Chamber
The charcoal chamber is constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a porcelain enamel finish. It is placed on top of the charcoal grate and keeps the fuel centered on the grate and prevents the dampers in the charcoal bowl from becoming blocked. The perforations provide airflow to the burning coals and smoke wood.
The access door has an offset section along the bottom edge that engages the opening in the middle cooking section. Tabs at the bottom of the door allow it to hang down in the open position from the middle cooking section. The knob turns a latch on the inside of the door that secures it to the middle cooking section.
The door is made of rust-resistant aluminum and is stamped with a pebbled finish.
The knob is made of a hard, black, heat-resistant plastic.
The heat shield is held in place by tabs on the three legs. Sitting just below and not touching the bottom of the charcoal bowl, the heat shield and the air gap it creates help protect your deck or patio from the heat generated by the cooker. It also has the added benefit of reflecting heat back into the cooker, making it operate more efficiently.
The shield is made from rust-resistant aluminum and has a hole in the center to allow rainwater to weep out.
A small cardboard box containing these parts:
Three rust-resistant aluminum legs are attached to the charcoal bowl using two screws, two nuts, and two steel washers per leg. The tabs projecting from the short side of each leg are used to hold the heat shield in place.
Grill Straps
Four grill straps are attached to the inside of the middle cooking section using two screws, two nuts, and two fiber washers per strap.
These fasteners are used to attach the legs and grill straps:
Owner's Manual
The owner's manual contains assembly and operating instructions, cooking tips, smoker care information, helpful hints, and recipes.
Weber includes a full-length, premium-quality vinyl cover with the WSM. It has elastic strips at the bottom that provide some closure around the charcoal bowl. The Weber logo is printed on the cover.
The 2009-2013 22.5" Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker came with the following warranty:
The warranty takes effect on the date of purchase.
The 22.5" Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker shown in this article was provided compliments of Weber-Stephen Products Co. I was neither obligated to post a review of the product nor was I paid to write this article. As always, I retain editorial control over any content I post on my website.
