Where Does Shaq Rank Amongst the NBA'S Greatest Centers?
Dwight Howard dominates headlines and media reports nowadays, but before Dwight and his sideshow, another imposing big man roamed the paint in Orlando and L.A, one who also had a tendency to run his mouth, but who knew how to back it up on the court. With Shaq, you got an actor, a comedian, a rapper, a cop…even an MBA, but above all else, you got a core basketball player, one of the last true centers to play the game.
Shaq was a talent unlike any we had ever seen. Despite his imposing size (listed at 7'1, 325 lbs.), Shaq also dazzled with his skill and quickness.
With the Shaqnosis dropping Friday, we decided to see just where this unique talent ranked amongst the greatest centers of all-time.
Our Top 5 Countdown of Centers of All-Time:
5. Hakeem Olajuwon:
- Career Averages: 21.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, 1.7 steals
- Notable Stats:
- 9-Time 1st team NBA All-Defense
- 2-Time Defensive Player Of the Year
- 2-Time Finals MVP
- 2-Time champ
Our Take: With his game changing defense and vast array of moves, including his patented "Dream Shake," Hakeem was a force to be reckoned with throughout his Hall of Fame career, culminating in his two NBA championships.
4. Shaquille O'Neal:
- Career Averages: 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.3 blocks
- Notable Stats:
- 3-Time 1st Team NBA All-Defense
- 3-Time Finals MVP
- 4-Time Champ
Our Take: Shaq's ability to dominate games and punish defenses earns him the 4th spot on our list. During his peak in the early 2000s, Shaq wreaked so much havoc on opposing teams that the NBA had to allow zone defenses in an effort to slow down the big guy.
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar:
- Career Averages: 24.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, .9 steals
- Notable Stats:
- Averaged 27+ points per game for first 7 years in the League
- NBA All-Time leading scorer
- NBA All-Time leader in minutes played
- Second All-Time in games played
- Averaged over 21 points per game for first 17 years in the League
- 6-Time MVP
- 2-Time Finals MVP
- 6-Time Champ
Our Take: Kareem's sustained excellence over his 20-year career is unquestioned, but his real legacy lives on in every kid's backyard as we all try to figure out how to master the iconic skyhook that made him a legend.
2. Bill Russell:
- Career Averages: 15.1 points, 22.5 rebounds, blocks unknown (as they weren't a viable measured statistic during his time)
- Notable Stats:
- 5-time MVP
- 11-time champ (in 13 seasons)
Our Take: The league did not start recording blocks or steals until 1973-74, but we can only imagine how many he would have racked up. If you need statistics to validate Russell's position on this list, look no further than his career average of 22.5 rebounds per game, but his true greatness can only be understood by looking at his 11 rings. We may not have him as our greatest center of all-time, but he is without a doubt the greatest winner.
1. Wilt Chamberlain:
- Career Stats: 30.1 points, 22.9 rebounds, 45.8 minutes per game, blocks unknown (as they weren't a viable measured statistic during his time)
- Notable Stats:
- March 2, 1962: Scores 100 points in a game
- '61-'62: Averaged 50.4 points per game, 48.5 minutes per game
- '67-'68: Led league in assists
- Never fouled out of a game
- 4-Time MVP
- 2-Time Champ
Our Take: Chamberlain and Russell battled it out on the court many times during the '60s, with Wilt coming out on the losing end more often than not. But from an individual perspective, Wilt's numbers will never again be matched. He scored at will and dominated games like no one else in history, even going so far as to force the NBA to institute the 3-second in the lane rule.

The kids and I are home today. Littlest wanted to know what kind of cake we were going to have to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's birthday and I may have burst a bubble or two with my response which sounded a bit like "why on earth would we have cake?" Mama-win moment #1 for the day; merit badge for me by end of day for sure! I cajoled his broken heart back to a happier place, and off they scampered for the various kinds of play while I put a few miles on my treadmill.
There is nothing like huffing and puffing on an endless loop to make a person think about play.
I wasn't a very playful child. That explains so much, doesn't it? (smile) In fact, I don't have much time devoted to play in my adult life either. And that also explains so much.
Because people need to play.
A bit ago, I was scrolling through some photos on the computer and Middlest noticed
this one, taken last fall. Mister Soandso took it and more than once has commented that he likes it. Middlest looked at it and proclaimed, "I like that picture. Mostly your smile."
What I like about it is I was playing. This photo is proof that I can be playful.
I think it is time to get more playful, to have lots and lots of more photo opportunities of being playful. Because when we remember to be playful, we remember what it was to look at the world with the eyes of a child…filled with wonder and joy.
Yes, it is time to play.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I think I might go sit on the swing and see how high I can make that swing fly.

As homework for the yoga immersion that I am attending, I have been working on my yoga on a daily basis for about three weeks now. I only spend ten minutes daily on the mat. Anusara founder, John Friend, calls it the "Ten Minute Gift." It has become a gift to me because I spend ONLY ten minutes in practice and still find growth in my poses.
I find the ten-minute practice to be beneficial because it allows me to practice as intensely as I would like without "wearing myself out." I tend to practice in a focused way and trying to practice for thirty to forty minutes a day is much too onerous. Ten minutes is perfect.
As I practiced last week, I remember being in uttanasa (front forward bend) and thinking "I am so close to touching my nose to my knees; I have to get my nose to my knees." As I began to "force" myself closer, feeling my form fail as I pulled, my rational brain said, "Okay. So if you get your nose to your knees, then what?"
Yes indeed. Then what? I relaxed my death grip on my legs while my mind tried to answer the question. The answer stunned me. If I were to reach the goal of getting my nose to my knees, all that I had worked for would be gone. The beauty of the movement, the challenge to align my body precisely and to enter the pose fully aligned would have been over. Instead of reaching the pose in a beautiful, healthy and safe way, I would have been crunched, congested and ugly.
I realize once again that the journey creates the joy and triumph in achieving my goal. The hard work, the anticipation, the painfully slow progress creates my depth of character and tenacity. If I rush the journey, I fail to enjoy the full spectrum of the challenges and everyday successes that eventually culminate in attaining my final goal.
Pushing my body to attain a higher goal is commendable and recommended. Pushing my body beyond its current capabilities is foolish. I have learned to work with my body and to speak its language. I push when my body has more to offer and readily retreat when my body is beyond its limits.
Respecting and honoring my limits throughout the years has provided over a decade of training that has been nearly injury-free. And I have learned to revel and enjoy the process as much as the goal attainment.
My desire in creating Warsaw's Secret Studio is to share the joy of the journey so that you will keep setting and achieving your fitness goals while fully enjoying the open road on your way!

The city of Pittsburgh, Penn., may heed a recommendation to switch all of its streetlights from high-pressure sodium lights to light-emitting-diode (LED) lamps, according to an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The University of Pittsburgh's Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation conducted a Life Cycle Assessment of Streetlight Technologies in the city and found that LEDs are the best bet environmentally when the lamp's entire life is taken into consideration. Even though the production of LEDs is not as efficient or sustainable as that of other light products, when the Mascaro study took into account energy savings as well as longevity of the product, LEDs came out on top.
According to the article, the city could reduce CO2 emissions by 6,818 metric tons per year, save $1 million annually in energy costs and $700,000 in maintenance fees with LED streetlights. Only about 1 percent of the streetlights in the country are powered by LEDs, primarily Los Angeles, Calif., and Anchorage, Alaska, meaning Pittsburgh would be a leader in adopting this technology on a large scale. The city has already installed LED streetlights in the Southside neighborhood and, as an experiment, lit one side of a popular shopping street with LEDs and the other with "other technologies." The result? The article quotes Bill Peduto, city councilman, saying, "the superior quality of LED lighting is obvious."
The LED streetlights are not without drawbacks, however. The LEDs are very bright and cast a blue-tinted light, so light pollution might be an issue. Another issue is heat, or lack thereof — LEDs don't get hot the way traditional streetlights do. In places like Wichita, Kan., this became problematic when a recent article in the Wichita Eagle reported that LED lights failed to melt ice and snow. Wichita's LED traffic lights became covered in snow, making it difficult for drivers to tell the colors of the lights, though the article said no accidents have been attributed to this problem.
The Pitt study of the lifecycle of the streetlights is one of the first cradle-to-grave studies done on urban lighting, according to the Post-Gazette, and the findings indicate that LEDs will become increasingly more efficient as the technology improves. The study "compared LED lighting with computer chips in projecting ... cost reductions for years to come."
Several subcommittees of the Pittsburgh City Council will develop a better streetlight network and, as the city is one of the few nationwide without a lighting code, will propose a Pittsburgh lighting code. Once these analyses and codes are in place, the city will make a final decision regarding the switch. At any rate, Pittsburgh hopes the research study and task force studies will serve as "a standard tool for municipalities worldwide to evaluate streetlight technologies." The city hopes to begin installation of new lights later this summer.

Prior to its departure for Lebanon from the Turkish port of Tasucu, the Global March to Jerusalem's SE Asia delegation was joined by Turkish activists.
According to the Iranian Fars news agency, some of them previously took part in the 2010 flotilla aboard the IHH-owned Mavi Marmara. The 'Asian People's Solidarity for Palestine' website carries the same information.
At the SE Asia caravan's final stop in Turkey – Konya – Global March to Jerusalem organiser Feroze Mithiborwala is reported to have made a speech somewhat contradictory to the march's professed commitment to non-violence.
"Firouz Mitiborwala, representative for IEC and ICC, was invited to the podium to address the people of Konya. He stated that Palestine has become an element of unity for the people of Asia. In regards to Israel's threats towards the GMJ – Asian Caravan, he stated, "Israel has gone crazy, and they are acting no different than Nazi's. Our response to them is a response of bravery. We are ready for martyrdom for our Palestinian brothers."
Meanwhile in Lebanon itself, the Daily Star reports that the number of activists permitted to take part in Friday's demonstrations may be limited to 5,000.
"The committee organizing the march, which is expected to attract several hundred international activists along with thousands of Lebanese and Palestinians, met Monday and decided that the number of people gathering at Beaufort Castle in Nabatieh would have to be limited in number.
They settled on Beaufort Castle, near the village of Arnoun, but members of the organizing committee visited the site Monday and voiced concerns that it could only handle 5,000 people.
Beaufort Castle is located on a steep hill. Members of the organizing committee, which includes representatives of Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as civilian groups, expressed their worries about the venue, which is located on an outcropping with steep slopes on all sides.
A member of the committee, who requested anonymity, said that much of the enthusiasm for the event was waning because the authorities refused to give permission for a gathering south of the Litani River."

Lunch review: Kin Kin Thai Eatery
Kin Kin Thai Eatery is one of a new wave of Thai restaurants in Adelaide offering genuine street-food dishes.
A few years ago, Noppadol Sophon and Wannee Muangpakorn visited Adelaide and saw a gap in the market.
"There was no authentic Thai street food in Adelaide," says Sophon.
At the time, the couple were running a café in Sydney, but had previously worked in five-star hotels in Thailand before migrating to Australia. Sophon worked as a chef at the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok.
"The market [Adelaide Central Market] inspired us to open a Thai restaurant here," he says.
In the meantime, there have been others with the same idea – Hide'n'Seek Thai Bar and Sukhumvit Soi 38 – ringing in a refreshing change to Adelaide's Thai dining offering.
Kin Kin Thai Eatery opened around four months ago on the southern end of Hutt Street, next door to Japanese fusion restaurant Kenji.
It presents as a simple and cheerful café-style eatery, offering a concise list of dishes designed for sharing that changes every fortnight.
Sophon and Muangpakorn draw inspiration from street-food dishes from all over Thailand as well as "Central Market specials".
"We try to make our dishes as authentic as possible by making all our own pastes from scratch; we don't use white sugar – only palm sugar – and we cook everything fresh for each order."
Sophon is accompanied by three other chefs who help prepare some of the more time-consuming dishes.
Favourite dish: Khanom Co ($9). This dish takes two days to prepare. Shredded coconut is cooked in palm sugar until sticky enough to form into balls that are smoked using a jasmine candle and then coated in thin dough made from rice flour and pandan leaf and served in warm coconut cream cooked with pandan leaf, salt and sugar. Imagine the comfort of hot porridge and the sweet chewy texture of a Cherry Ripe coming together as a final treat after a series of equally impressive dishes.
Other dishes: Thai Wafter ($4 each). Sophon says this is an "old school" dish, but like the Khanom Co, it is one we have never seen before. Similar to a Thai-style cannoli, the wafers are made in-house from mung-bean flour, rice flour and sugar, cooked till crisp, then rolled, cooled and stuffed with a mixture of finely shredded chicken breast, coconut and Thai herbs.
Tord Mun Pla ($12). Light, irregular dollops of fried fishcake mixture flavoured with kaffir lime and curry paste and served with chilli, fresh and fried basil leaves, peanut and cucumber relish.
Gai Satay ($8). Two skewers of tender grilled chicken served with satay sauce that's light and fresh, a relish of sliced cucumber, Thai herbs, onion and chill, and two slices of toasted bread. Sophon explains the toasted bread is a traditional satay accompaniment that is used to mop up any leftover peanut sauce.
Steamed Silken Tofu ($17). For this clean and light dish, Sophon sources fresh soft Japaese tofu and serves it in a broth of soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, ginger, shallots and mixed mushrooms, topped with Thai herbs, chilli and white pepper.

Thanks for signing up to the InDaily newsletter.
Kaeng Keaw Wan ($20). After becoming jaded from a lifetime of ordinary green chicken curries, we were happy to eat one worth going back for. Tender chicken pieces with Thai eggplant and bamboo shoots in a delicious sweet, fresh, hot and salty green curry sauce.
Something sweet/to drink: As well as the Khanom Co dumplings, Kin Kin offers a Thai Milk Tea Soft Serve in a cone ($5.50) and Khao Tom Mat ($7; steamed banana and sweet sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf).
The drinks list offers a limited selection of Australian wines, beers and ciders, including a couple of Thai beers, and soft drinks including fresh young coconut.
The service at Kin Kin Thai Eatery is delightful and the food is exceptional.

Capital News Update
President Bush has signed into law a bill that provides benefits for severely disabled children being cared for by their families.
The law extends Supplemental Security Income benefits to families in states that waive Medicaid income ceilings, if the families show that home care for children costs less than institutional care. Forty-seven states now have such waivers.
The law, signed last month, was inspired by the plight of a Massachusetts couple, Kenneth and Kathleen Mulligan, who cared for their handicapped infant daughter at home. Because Mr. Mulligan's salary was $3,200 over the state's Medicaid limit, the family was deemed ineligible for the program. The Medicaid ineligibility precluded them from receiving supplemental benefits from the Social Security Administration.
At the time, the Mulligans' child would only have been able to receive full benefits if she had been placed in a hospital or institution.
The National Urban League proposed last week that the Congress allocate $50 billion of the expected "peace dividend" savings in the budget for an "Urban Marshall Plan" targeted at improvements in education, health, child care, and housing for those most in need.
The recommendation was included in The State of Black America 1990, copies of which are available for $19, plus $2.40 for postage and handling, from the National Urban League, Communications Department, 500 East 62nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10021; (212) 310-9000.

I guess I need to get used to the seizures.
The Crack Puppy would not settle next to my leg last night, as we Facebooked, watched TV and read about Salvation History.
Then she raised up her front end and went rigid.
She was seizuring again.
I immediately threw down the book and yellow highlighter, jammed the laptop between the cushions, and grabbed Ling Ling.
I quickly assessed that she wasn't going to puke or pee, so I did what you do in this situation.
I held her tight and loved her through it.
"Good girl, Ling. It's OK. Good girl, you're just fine. Good girl, Sweetie. It's OK."
Last night's seizure might have been the worst yet; slightly longer and more "trembly" than the last one, which I reckon was about 2-3 months ago.
How It Starts
The sequence is this:
— she's restless and jerks a bit; she won't settle;
— then her head bows up a little and her eyes stare into nothing;
— her front legs get stiff and sort of shoot down or out;
— then she gently trembles and, although she is "out of it", she seems afraid.
The only thing to do it so love on her, hug her tight, and tell her it's going to be okay.
Then in a few minutes, she's back.
Because of this latest episode, we will again increase her meds and see how she goes.
You don't want to over-medicate, so she's zonked out and can't enjoy her life, but we have to do something.
Boat Dog
We adopted the Crack Puppy from some Vietnamese boat people when she was two.
I know.
The Dad seemed like V.C. to me, but the college-age daughter was okay.
And the Crack Puppy was soooooooo cute, so of course we bought her.
About a year later, Ling Ling III had her first seizure. At the time, we blamed the chemicals we used to wallpaper the hall.
But when it happened again, we took her to the vet.
Sometimes I love vets. Sometimes them make me want to scream.
We were told that Ling Ling might have undefined "Small White Shaky Dog Syndrome" (not kidding), or some to-be-determined type of epilepsy, or a brain tumor.
I think it would have cost $1,500 for a doggy MRI and several thousand more to have the tumor removed (no guarantees on recovery), so that was not going to happen.
The option was to take bloods (they were OK), start her on phenibarbitone (which we did, and she behaved like the town drunk for about two weeks), and then just watch her.
And it got better and better.
Looking back, it she might have gone a year without any seizures at all, or, at least none that we were aware of.
Today, in my mind, I am attributing this latest seizure to the fact that her buddy Mayo the Bichon just left after spending a month with us. She's depressed, and I think, maybe, her emotions triggered the seizure.
I really pray they don't get worse, and we are not put in that invidious Place of Hard Decisions.
Ling Ling I, who we had 25 years ago in Houston, was a puppy farm mess of bad genetics, and the cutest thing you ever did see, all eight pounds of her at full growth.
We probably spent $2,000 keeping her going for two years, despite increasingly violent seizures.
When she had a really bad one, we would put a pillow in the laundry basket, lay her on top, and rush her to the vet.
She would literally vibrate like she was strapped onto a paint-shaker, and yellow bile would pour out of her sweet little mouth. It was awful.
The Worst
As the seizures worsened, she lost more of her mind.
She was still cute and enormously happy, but she'd just forget where she was and what a dog was supposed to do.
The next-to-last seizure required major emergency treatments, including a blood transfusion from a Lab.
When she had the very last seizure, she was as rigid as a board. The vet said to put her down.
He thought I was weak or crazy when I said, nope, we'd give her a few more days to come out of it.
I saw that little lion dog fight back from death so many time, that I was not about to steal away her last chance.
But when it became clear that she really was gone, we put her down.
I have not thought of that in a long time.
I hate that those thoughts are now getting transferred to the current Crack Puppy.
I honestly don't think she will ever get that bad.
She's half Shih-tzu, half-Maltese, so maybe that makes her stronger.
I sure hope so.

AMC renewed "Better Call Saul," "Fear the Walking Dead," and "McMafia" for their fifth and second seasons, respectively.
The news comes as part of the network's appearance at the TCAs summer press tour today. AMC President of Originals David Madden commented on the renewals with the following:
"In an environment where viewer choice is almost unlimited, the success of these shows is especially meaningful, with characters and stories that our viewers connect with and return to season after season. It's a privilege to continue collaborating with and sharing the vision of the talented creatives behind these series, and we're excited to start exploring the next chapter in the lives of these unique and complex characters."
"Better Call Saul" has been a constant critical darling for AMC ever since its premiere, and has been on the receiving end of consistent awards attention as well. Its early renewal comes just ahead of its season 4 premiere, set to air on AMC on August 6. Throughout its third season, the series averaged around a 0.6 live + same day rating in adults 18-49, down three-tenths from the 0.9 average of its second season.
The early renewal for "Fear the Walking Dead" also comes just as the series is set to return for the second-half of its fourth season this coming month, starting August 12. The "Walking Dead" spin-off – which not only featured the recent additions of new characters, but also the loss of some of its few remaining original cast members – has averaged a 0.9 L+SD rating throughout its fourth season up to this point, the same as what its third season had averaged.
Meanwhile, "McMafia" – a British import created by Hossein Amini and James Watkins, inspired by Misha Glenny's best-selling book of the same name – aired the entirety of its first season on AMC earlier this year. While it only averaged a low 0.1 L+SD rating on the network, AMC doesn't have to shoulder all of its production and programming costs, which could explain its renewal today.

eve and i took the train to carroll and walked the long hot way to red hook...
which was so quiet and old-seeming, like a mixture of cambridge ma, durham nc, colonial williamsburg, and williamsburg williamsburg.
this puppy was named stan
and we encountered him at steve's authentic, which sells all key lime pies, only key lime pies, from a waterside house that felt like a blast straight from florida.
beyond the pie, i had the best baked good i have ever had in my life, at baked. it was like a homemade twix bar situation (reminded me of that "millionaire's shortbread" i ate in edinburgh), so we're talking buttery biscuit base, caramel in the center, chocolate on top. i was screaming!! it was so good!!

It's probably not a breakthrough, but I'm pretty proud of my find.
I use winamp and I have just been getting into skinning and programming buttons to events... While millin around in the events I saw the one under skins/music/ named start visualization. To me this sounded like it would start the normal winamp vis, so I starting looking up a cool vis for winamp. I found one and installed it. Went to play with it and I realized there is already one there that comes with winamp. I set it up and set up a button on xlobby, works like a charm.
If you're into visualizations and aren't into downloading a bunch of add-on crap that needs xlobby plugins and winamp plugins and all that, just set up a button that triggers the event "SKINS/music/start visualization". You'll have to set up the vis outside of xlobby so winamp knows what to start. Personally I like the "sexy voiceprint analyzer" or whatever it is. It'll pop up full screen and then hit the button you set up for the vis again and it'll disappear.
If you haven't noticed I'm a little long winded, but thanks for bearin with me.

''The Real World'': Ty's gotta have it
On ''The Real World,'' Tyrie's player alter ego, ''Dark Kent,'' goes out on the prowl and becomes involved with two girls
The Real World: Denver
- TV Show
"The Real World": Ty's gotta have it
"I need some ass. I know what I want. I know when I want it. Why should I bulls— about it?" Oh, Tyrie, you're never one to beat around the bush, are you? With that, we can say goodbye to the violent Leroy Jenkins of last week (at least I'm hoping we can) and hello to Dark Kent — Ty's "smooth, sexual, sensual side."
So what does Dark Kent do when he needs some ass? He goes out immediately and hunts for it. It certainly didn't take him too long to capture his prey — he met his first victim, Ashley, right away, and his second victim, Jazalle, the very next night. (On a side note: I found it funny when Tyrie said, "There was this girl there named Ashley, and the second she walks in the door, she has her eyes glued on me," because I'm sure it wasn't Ty's overwhelming charm that made her stare — it was the cameras that were following him around.)
I have to say I am impressed that Ty got both girls' digits and actually called them. (Admit it, ladies, it's so annoying when a guy asks for your number and never calls.) How ironic, though, was it that Jazalle and Ashley were both planning to go to "Reggae on the Rooftop" night at Vinyl? I loved Ty's response to the predicament: "Oh, I got more games than Parker Brothers. I got more variations on my game than Monopoly." Do you think he had those lines prepared and was just waiting for the perfect moment to use them?
Anyway, when Dark Kent reached this fork in the road, he sought help from the one person in the house who's an expert on juggling two women at once: Alex, whose brilliant advice was "Tell them both you'll meet them up at Vinyl, then just see which one you're vibing with better." Or how about meeting up with them on separate nights? Nah, too uncomplicated for The Real World.
Was I the only one who had a hard time telling Ashley and Jazalle apart when they both showed up at Reggae on the Rooftop wearing very similar white tank tops? (Maybe this was a failed attempt by the producers to confuse Ty. Hey, I wouldn't put it past them.) Ty ended up picking Jazalle to be his lucky lady, and Stephen did one heck of a job playing wingman the rest of the night. He even came up with a ridiculous excuse — that there's a limit on the number of guests allowed in the house at one time — in order to prevent a meet-and-greet between Ty's women. Way to think on your feet, Stephen!
Stephen proved to be less sure-footed at skiing. At least he tried, though, unlike most of the other roommates, who stayed home after Davis made an effort to get them all together to do something besides drinking. I felt bad for Davis when his group-bonding plans fell through, but Ty made up for it later when he confronted the rude guy at the bar on 666 night (translation: June 6, 2006) who came up to Davis and asked, "Are you a fag?"
Fortunately, the incident was settled nonviolently. Looks like Leroy Jenkins really has left the premises. Now we'll have to wait and see if Dark Kent will be able to get Jazalle to loosen up on her rule of no sex for four months. (Who sets an exact schedule like that and actually follows through with it anyway?)
What do you think? Will Jazalle be on more episodes, or is this the last we'll see of her? Does Stephen actually enjoy being Tyrie's wingman? And why in the world would Brooke ever tell us, "I love to look like a whore!"?

text: A man observes Ground Zero on Saturday in New York In a now-familiar ritual, the names of the 2749 people who died when the twin towers of the World Trade Centre collapsed under the impact of two hijacked airliners will be read out at the main memorial event at Ground Zero. This year, the thoughts of many Americans will be focused on other victims: the estimated one million left homeless and the thousands feared killed by the hurricane which devastated the US Gulf coast nearly two weeks ago. Both tragedies served to highlight the vulnerability of the world superpower, but where September 11 forged a sense of national unity out of trauma and anger, Katrina highlighted divisions of race and class and triggered accusations of government indifference. On Sunday, The New York Times reported that the crisis in New Orleans after Katrina deepened because of a virtual standoff between hesitant federal officials and besieged authorities in Louisiana. Bush radio address In his weekly radio address on Saturday, President George Bush, under fire for the sluggish official response to Katrina, invoked the national spirit of post-September 11 defiance and resilience in an effort to pull the country together in the hurricane's wake. The September 11 memorial is overshadowed by Katrina's crisis"Today, America is confronting another disaster that has caused destruction and loss of life. This time the devastation resulted not from the malice of evil men, but from the fury of water and wind," Bush said. "America will overcome this ordeal, and we will be stronger for it," he said. The administration is also trying to rally support with a Defense Department-sponsored Freedom Walk in Washington to honor US troops in Iraq, in what critics called a blatant piece of political propaganda by the Bush administration. Rising uncertainty The part of the Pentagon where a third jet crashed on September 11 was opened to the public for the first time on Saturday. Even without Katrina, the new 9/11 anniversary falls at a time of growing uncertainty in the United States. Public concern about the cost, human and economic, of US involvement in Iraq is increasing. Opinion polls show many Americans feel no safer from the threat of another terrorist attack. The part of the Pentagon that wasdamaged on 9/11 was reopened In a minor departure from previous anniversaries, Sunday's memorial at Ground Zero would also reflect on those who have been killed in militant attacks outside the United States over the past four years. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will attend the ceremony, together with New York Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ceremony The event will begin with a minute of silence at 8:46am (1246 GMT), the exact time when the first hijacked airplane struck the North Tower. The names of those who died in the twin towers will be read out by their brothers and sisters. During last year's ceremony, the roll call of the dead was given by the victims' parents and grandparents, while in 2003 the task had been given to their children. The reading of the names will be interrupted for three more moments of silence: at 9:03am (1303 GMT) to mark the South Tower attack; at 9:59am (1359 GMT) for the collapse of the South Tower; and at 10:29am (1429 GMT) for the destruction of the North Tower. Since the emotional intensity of the first September 11 anniversary, subsequent annual memorials have aimed for a more low-key, personal tone and other events - once cancelled or postponed - have crept back onto the calendar. Television coverage Three years ago, television networks devoted their programming to a day of remembrance. This Sunday they are offering live coverage of the start of the American football season, including the opening game of the New York Giants, and the season premiere of The Simpsons. President Bush on Friday honours public safety officers who died on 9/11Broadway shows will open as usual and the fashion industry will converge on Manhattan's Bryant Park for the third day of the annual Fashion Week. The Ground Zero ceremony has been tainted by controversy over the plans for a memorial museum at the site. Demonstration More than 500 relatives of the September 11 victims rallied there on Saturday, protesting against proposals for an International Freedom Center that will show exhibits on freedom struggles around the world. The demonstrating victims' families, who held up photos of their loved ones and banners that read "Preserve Sacred Ground," say the center will shift the focus away from those who died in the twin towers. Among two countries to honour the victims on the anniversary were neighbours Cuba and Canada. While Cuba remembered "the terrible death of thousands of innocent people in the attack on the twin towers", Canada offered its prayers for "our closest friends and allies the United States".

MIX 2011: A retrospecticus
MANLY TALES OF COWARDICE–Guest Artist Spectacular–pg 12(of 14)–by Ryan Dow and Brian Bastian
BRIAN BASTIAN— Has freedom hair.
RYAN DOW— Ryan dow has won my heart–from his consistently solid art and story on his "INTROSPECTIVE COMICS" webcomic, to his introspective thoughts on comics during the ART AND STORY podcasts–my heart Ryan Dow has won. Ryan is a well-loved fixture of the Mpls/Stpl Cells of the International Cartoonist Conspiracy, taking part in all the usual hoo-hah (like BIG FUNNY and MUSCLES AND FIGHTS), and doing his own great comics along the way (like PLUNGER-MAN, WEEKENDS WITH CARL, and JACK AND ZACK MAKE A COMIC). He's even part of the QUORUM OF TWELVE(or so) who are putting together LUTEFISK SUSHI "D"–a highlight of his contribution being the "LSD" podcast he is starting which will have interviewers with fellow QUORUMers and SUSHI "D" contributors (The first episode will be up soon and features some windbag). You have my heart, Ryan. Now hold me, you big hunky introspective cartoonist, you! Hold me and make all the bad men go away.
MANLY TALES OF COWARDICE–GUEST ARTIST SPECTACULAR–pg 2(of 14)–by Earl Luckes and Brian Bastian, also: "phenomenal tangets" goes "kirby-vision"
About the kick-ass creators of this page:
BRIAN BASTIAN writes stuff. He may have even written this. Who is to say?
EARL LUCKES is a man on a mission, and if this lover of comics and 70's culture had a theme song, it would certainly be THIS one (thanks Mark and Jerzy)! Earl burst into comics like no sane person should–by challenging himself to do a 24 HOUR COMIC! After that Earl became a Conspiracy semi-regular and contributed some might fine work to anthologies like ALLEY CAT, SUPER FANTASTICA COMIX, BIG FUNNY, and the MUSCLES AND FIGHTSempire. Earl's stuff is raw, and tough, and hellz fun–just like the 1970's hero-ethic he tries to capture in his work–and I am honored he did this page. OH YEAH!!!–and Earl makes short-films that take modern cinema schlock-meisters like Michael Bay and Steven Sommers to task for their bastardization of the medium. Quite a talent. Best of all, Earl assures me his very own webcomic is in the works, and I for one cannot wait!
Also, "PHENOMENAL TANGENTS", the Kirby-inspired comic I did with Steven Stwalley, has been added to "KIRBY-VISION", the Kirby Museum's Blog tracking "THE KING's" continuing influence. Sweet!
And one last parting shot–today's guest artist EARL LUCKES fancies himself a Fleming Hazmat type…
PHENOMENAL TANGENTS–the all new comic by Steven Stwalley and myself–cover, credits, and pg 1(of 26)
…to be continued…
So a little over a year ago I finally joined 2004 and got an ipod, and it wasn't too long after that before I grew desperately tired of my ipod music library. BUT WHAT TO DO??? My wife suggested I get some "podcasts" to mix it up. I knew this word "podcasts", but thought it (like the ipod only months before had resisted with every fiber of my being) was something I had no interest in.
Boy was I wrong.
I was immediatly enthralled to get weekly doses of things I already loved like THIS AMERICAN LIFE and LE SHOW. I was able to finally get in on shows I had heard great things about like DAN CARLIN's COMMON SENSE and his HARDCORE HISTORY. And then my friend RYAN DOW turned me on to the fabulous world of podcasts about making comics. He suggested I try ART AND STORY, and friends–my life has not been the same since.
ART AND STORY is the premiere podcast about the thoughts and wonderings behind the art of making comics. Hearing ART AND STORYs hosts MARK RUDOLPH and JERZY DROZD talk out loud about things I had only previously discussed to myself in my own head was like finding the perfect amalgam between peers and therapists.
When I started listening to ART AND STORY they had been at it for about a year (episode 48, I believe), and even though each show runs about 2 hours, I burned through the back catalogue and the new stuff in about 4 weeks. It was all music to my ears….and still is! Now even more so since in addition to the regular Wednesday ART AND STORY, there is a live version on Mondays called ART AND STORY ALIVE!. There is also ART AND STORY EXTREME!!, a 20 minute (or so) show Monday-Thursday show where Mark and Jerzy just talk about whatever is on their minds (comics, movies, environmental armageddon), and its "extremely" entertaining and easily my favorite of the three shows.
Anyway…what does all this have to do with the above comic PHENOMENAL TANGENTS? Well, as I was wrapping up that first month of soaking in everything ART AND STORY had to offer, there was an episode where they interviewed KEVIN CROSS. Kevin was there to promote his brainchild–THE MINI-COMICS DUMP TRUCK! The DUMP TRUCK was to be a comic collective where creators across the globe, communicating via the power of a blog and podcast, came together and over the course of 4 months each creator was to do an original mini-comic based a few agreed-upon ideas/suggestions set forth during the first podcast. They would then communicate podcast-wise every two weeks to update status, share thoughts on the process and on making mini-comics in general.
Again, this idea (like ART AND STORY) was love at first listen–and I was in luck! Since the original broadcast of this ART AND STORY episode was a while back, the "first round" of DUMP TRUCK books was almost at an end, and "round two" was about to begin!
I contacted Kevin immediately and informed him I wanted in, and he was more than happy to have me. In fact, in a twist of fate, Kevin had posted the Cartoonist Conspiracy's "HOW TO MAKE A MINI-COMIC" (that I had a hand in creating) on the DUMP TRUCK website when the group started!
I also contacted STEVEN STWALLEY about this, since he and I had been discussing the vauge idea of doing a book together, and we now finally had the proper impetus with which to do one…
There's 25 more pages to post of PHENOMENAL TANGENTS, so I'll continue the genesis of PHENOMENAL TANGENTS over the rest of the month. There'll also hopefully have some co-commentary on the book and pages from Steve, as well as the sad tale of the demise of the MINI-COMICS DUMP TRUCK itself…stay tuned!
a BIG ILLUSTRATION pin-up break
"MONKEY MOD and ATLANTIS LAD vs SNOW ZOMBIES" by Danno Klonowski
Those who know me know I love podcasts, especially ones about the art of making comics. One such beloved podcast is BIG ILLUSTRATION PARTY TIME (http://illustrationparty.blogspot.com/) with Kevin Cross and Joshua Kemble. Anyway, in addition to content BIPT has some of the best production value in the podcasting world…that is until their microphones blew-up a week or so ago.
Josh and Kevin are typical Americas in a financial crunch these days and don't have the cash to just run out and buy new microphones, so instead they are asking for donations from listeners. In addition to asking for straight-up cash infusions, there is also going to be an art auction of original work done specifically for this cause which you should be able to bid on soon (you can learn more about the auction and see all the submitted pieces so far at: http://pcweenies.com/2009/05/27/big-illustration-party-help/).
My donation piece (above) is of Kevin's MONKEY MOD character teaming-up with ATLANTIS LAD to fight snowmen zombies. FUN!
On an unrelated note: my friend, co-Conspirator, and once and future collaborator BUD BURGY has started his own wordpress blog where you can see all the fine work he's done and will be working on in the future (including a project i just wrote and he'll being doing the art on) at: http://budburgy.wordpress.com
So again, to learn more about the auction, be sure to check out these awesome podcasts and websites:

MANLY TALES OF COWARDICE–issue one–pgs 18 and 19
…To Be Continued…
Wow…what a difference a several month break makes.
You may have noticed on panel 3 of page 17 yesterday that Fleming took on a marked change in his appearance–from a sloppy, choppy mutant looking thing to a streamlined cartoony looking character. And I couldn't be happier. Yes, aside from the horrific lettering which I had sadly done before I started inking the story the first time, I'm actually having to clean up very little on these pages–Yay! Saving time!–and I think if I had done these last 7 pages in the original "Who Gives A Crap" style I did the first 17, the panels I've really grown to love (The DaVinci Audiobook, blasting off from England, the UN) would be as useless and ugly as most of the panels which preceded them.
There was actually a pretty healthy (and often hilarious) debate on the most recent episode (#67) of ART AND STORY: ALIVE! that I think MANLY TALES issue one is the missing link of for both sides of the argument (check it out at: http://www.cvcomics.com/artandstory/?page_id=66).
The debate was basically this: Should you keep cranking out crap (like the first 17 pages) for public consumption, or should you wait until you've improved your style/technique/etc enough (like the last 7 pages) before you start making comics? And if you wait to accomplish the technical side will you actually be print-ready if you haven't been doing actual comics and getting any feedback? (That's more or less the jist. There's more to it–including how to make a baby jesus cry–so listen for yourself.)
Well, with issue one here I was clearly cranking out crap that was NOT fit for human eyes to gaze upon. The hours and HOURS I have spent in the last week and a half fixing my many mistakes (and there are MANY more I just got too frustrated/bored to fix) proves that. If I had finished issue one in Fall fo 2006 I don't know that I would have ever printed it. And if I had, I probably wouldn't have done more (and kept getting better) cause I really detested those first 17 pages. But after a took a several month break and finished the back 7 in May of 2007 I felt despite all the opening pages weaknesses, the art of those closing pages (along with the ending I had finally cooked up) had "saved" the story.
Had it saved it enough that I SHOULD have printed it? No.
Should I have completely redone the first 17 pages? Yes.
I know this now (as I knew it then). But I also knew to redo almost all of issue one would have probably also killed the momentum for issue two. And issue two is where I was going to start applying everything I has learned….but that'll have to wait until next Monday. We still gotta wrap this one up…

The Nova 600 Nanolab Dualbeam SEM/FIB enables reseachers and developers to create, modify and characterize complex structures below 100 nanometers. It combines ultra-high resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and precise focused ion beam (FIB) etch and deposition to complement existing technology in Mesa+ NanoLab and extends many applications with nanoscale prototyping, machining and 2D and 3D-characterization.
Structures such as photonic crystal prototyping; laser on a chip prototyping; nano-stamping and modification of MEMS devices like AFM tips have been created with the Nova 600 Nanolab. Analysis of these and other structures is enabled via several FIB-methods like cross-sectioning and TEM preparation. Combined with its SEM's ultra high resolution in-lens backscattered electron imaging Z-contrast characterization, ion induced secondary electron imaging for grain contrast and STEM for nm-sized characterization makes the NOVA 600 one of the most versatile instruments in the MESA+NanoLab


text: What Health Care Marketers Can Learn by Looking at Other Industries RP3 Agency June 27, 2018 Agency, Insights, Marketing, UncategorizedBy Jeb Emami At the Hospital Marketing National Conference in Atlanta in June, ReviveHealth EVP Chris Bevolo spoke about how the health care industry has traditionally been behind the curve in its understanding and application of marketing and branding, but that it continues to evolve. In sharing some key findings from his new book, Joe Public III: The End of Hospital Marketing, Chris also discussed the need for health care marketers to think bigger than just health care. Coming from of an agency that prides itself on bringing outside perspectives to the work we do in the health care space, I couldn't agree more. Here are a few things health care marketers can learn from other industries to help engage existing patients and attract new ones.Understand the Entire Customer Journey. Travel and destination brands do a great job of engaging at every phase of the customer journey. From the discovery or "dream phase," all the way through to the booking and the trip itself, most travel brands focus on understanding the customer mindset and finding the right messages for each step of the journey. Social media plays an important role here, allowing people to share their travel experiences with a much wider audience than ever before.Of course, the customer mindset is vastly different when dealing with hospitals and health care providers. There is no "dream phase" because no one wants to think about needing a hospital until they absolutely need one. As a result, customers aren't motivated to engage with hospital messaging. In working with Children's National Health System, we thought about the primary target audience, parents, as existing on a spectrum of low to high motivation when it comes to the topic of children's hospitals. Regardless of where they fell along the spectrum, the digital experience was designed to match their motivation level. Children's National knew they needed to engage parents before, God forbid, their child gets sick and they become highly motivated. So they focused on building awareness and affinity among parents so that when they are eventually needed, the decision to choose Children's National over other local children's hospitals would be easy.Use Brand as a Tool for Internal Adoption. Too many organizations think of their brand as outward facing, meant to differentiate and attract customers. But the truth is, the most important audience for any brand is internal because it doesn't matter what you promise in advertising if the experience you deliver doesn't live up to the promise. This is especially true in health care, where the patient experience is affected by so many different factors, from the doctors and nurses, to the office personnel, to the folks in the cafeteria.Health care marketers must make sure they involve all internal stakeholders in any branding effort, and do a proper internal launch to ensure that everyone in the organization understands the brand, believes in it, and lives it out everyday, in order to deliver a seamless experience.One of our clients is Long & Foster, the nation's largest independent real estate brokerage. Since their 11,000 agents are the true keepers of the brand, the ones who live it out everyday as they interact with customers, we built the brand and website experience around them and their "Love of Home." Agent satisfaction, and new leads, reached an all-time high shortly after the launch.Meet the Expectations of Millennials. Millennials represent more than 83 million Americans and their expectations when it comes to health care marketing messaging are very different than other generations. They often value convenience more than institutional expertise and want messaging that speaks to them directly, with a certain level of authenticity. Millennials are also much more accustomed to using social media and other digital platforms to research health care options and make decisions about their health. In fact, according to one study, 37% of Millennials are more likely to turn to Google to get routine medical advice than to call a doctor.While these changes may seem particularly daunting for health care marketers, it's important to realize every industry is facing the same challenges. Retail, which is used to a faster pace of change, is a good industry to watch for innovations. Our client Giant Food is focused on offering their customers a faster and more transparent shopping experience, with digital investments in mobile apps and coupons, and social media marketing playing big roles in the brand's overall growth strategy.The health care landscape in this country is changing every single day. With consumers now having access to seemingly endless information right at their fingertips, it's forcing hospitals and health care providers to rethink their marketing efforts and look to other industries for insight into successful communications strategies. As Chris said in his book, health care marketing is dead. Now it has to be as smart and forward thinking as any other industry's marketing. Here's to raising the bar.Jeb Emami is Marketing Strategist at RP3, a Capitol Communicator sponsor. Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website

It takes Sydney-based designer Stephanie Said between two and four painstaking hours to make each hinge on this necklace. There are 22 of them. She makes them on the stainless steel table tops in her studio, which is littered with tools, timber, books, and plants of every kind. Completely cut soldered, and riveted by her own two hands, this necklace exudes the designer's signature raw aesthetic. She calls it 'brutalist beauty'. We call it mind blowing.

The government's most important medical adviser has revealed today that he almost quit as a result of the refusal to sanction a blanket public smoking ban.
Chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson told a meeting of the health select committee that he had repeatedly warned the government about the adverse effects of exempting non-food serving pubs and private members' clubs from anti-smoking legislation, but that his concerns had been consistently ignored.
And following the government's decision to press ahead with a partial rather than full ban on smoking in public places, he strongly considered handing in his resignation, but decided to stay in order to continue championing the case for an outright ban.
He told MPs: "There are some areas where if your advice is ignored and it damages the public health, you would have to consider resignation if you were in my position.
"I have thought very very carefully about that. And my feeling is that I've championed this so far. When I produced my first annual report in 2002 nobody was calling for it to happen."
He added: "And therefore my feeling is that this will eventually come and it's more likely to come if I stay in my post and continue to champion it."
Sir Liam revealed that it was the first time in his six years as chief medical officer that his advice had been ignored by the government.
His comments come as the government published details of its consultation into a possible ban, which reveals that the vast majority of the 57,000 responses were in favour of a blanket prohibition.
The Department of Health admitted that the consultation "brought to light the need for further consideration of exemptions".
Debate over the extent of anti-smoking legislation has split the cabinet, with current health minister Patricia Hewitt in favour of a total ban, while former health secretary, now defence secretary, John Reid, is adamant that the government should only impose a partial ban in line with its original manifesto pledge.
The health protection bill - in which the proposals are contained - will receive its second reading in the House of Commons on November 29th, before going to committee in December.
If passed, the partial ban would come into effect in the summer of 2007.

How to Make It
Preheat oven to 450° with rack on bottom. Wearing long gloves, rinse nettles well. Drain.
Sizzle garlic a few seconds in 1 tbsp. oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add nettles and sauté until wilted, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. If nettles are wet, drain in a colander, pat dry, and return to pan. Gently mix nettles with 1 tbsp. more oil, the pepper, and chile flakes.
Roll dough on a floured board into a 9- by 14-in. rectangle. Ease dough onto an oiled baking sheet, fixing the shape if necessary. Using fingers, roll edges of dough over to make a 1/2-in. rim.
Scatter cheese, then nettles, over dough. Bake until crust is crisp, 15 minutes. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp. oil and cut into squares. Season with salt if you like.

Conservatives are arguing that the likely voter models used in election polls, especially State-level polls, are flawed because they use the anomalous high turnout in 2008 for those who identify as Democrats rather than the historically lower past turnouts. The implication seems to be that polling companies have tweaked the turnout models to be biased to Obama. This is simply wishful thinking by Romney-supporters. Gallup's likely voter model, for example, is a fully objective model. It's true that one factor in many – whether voters voted in the last election – could be biased towards Democrats because of the 2008 elections. But this factor is going to be marginal, and likely balanced out by the entrance of new voters in their 20s and early 30s – who're likely to lean liberal.
But it's interesting to consider why voter turnout amongst liberals is likely to be so strong compared to conservatives. One would expect that the wave of euphoria of electing a new President after the Bush fiasco and having the first black President in history wouId have washed over by now. I would argue that there are two factors behind the continued high turnout in liberals. First, latinos are beginning to mobilize in much larger numbers. In elections to come, they will become an increasingly crucial demographic in elections, and will shift the political spectrum significantly towards the left on economic and foreign policy issues. Second, given the current state of the economy, liberals are especially frightened by the prospect of having someone as out of touch with the common man as Romney in charge of the United States. Though many are disillusioned by Obama, they may still be turning out to make sure that the more worrisome Romney doesn't win.

Jim Morgans Wood Profits
12-in. lazy-Susan bearing, #TR 12C,Woodworker's Hardware, (800) 383-0130; $5. Hose reel, #AR050-1 .Tools On Sale, (800) 328-0457; $67.
I have to pack all my tools into the back of my garage when I'm not woodworking. To conserve space, I bought a pancake-style compressor for its compact size and portability. At 55 lbs. it's portable, but lugging it around is no picnic.
To make it easier to move I put it in a small open cabinet on wheels. I bolted the compressor to the bottom to keep it from vibrating its way out. To make the setup even more versatile, I mounted an air hose reel on top. I put a 12-in. lazy-Susan bearing between the hose reel and cabinet so I can unroll the hose in any direction.

A scene from "Mercy Street," season two (Photo courtesy PBS/Erik Heinila)
Central Virginia appears again on the small screen this month when the original PBS drama series "Mercy Street" returns for its second season. Set in an Alexandria mansion converted to a hospital — but shot in Petersburg and Richmond — the Civil War drama revolves around nurses, doctors, soldiers and free and enslaved African-Americans.
"The Civil War happened 150 years ago, but the scars are still visible and you can feel the ghosts," co-creator and Executive Producer Lisa Wolfinger told Richmond magazine last year about filming here.
Season two premieres Sunday, Jan. 22, at 8 p.m. See it locally on PBS station WCVE.

Fourth largest economy in Europe falters
Italy… is the fourth largest economy inEuropeand has among the highest standard of living in the world. Yet the telltale signs of a potential financial crisis have been in place for a number of years.
PresentlyItalyhas a debt-to-GDP ratio of 120 per cent, the highest inEurope. However, the country has been able to handle such a high debt as its economy was relatively stable and so were revenues to the government. That is until 2009. At that point the government began to run high budget deficits and unemployment sky-rocketed….
WhileItalyis not in the same boat withGreece… the massive size of the Italian economy and the amount of euros needed to help that country would demolish the reserves of the Euro Zone and cause a potentially catastrophic financial crisis.

Black America vs. Obama?
"The disappearing black middle class" ran the headline over the Chicago Sun-Times story. And the statistics from the Economic Policy Institute were indeed sobering.
In 2007, best year of the Bush era, white households had a median net worth of $134,280, compared with $13,450 for black households.
By 2009, the median net worth for white households had fallen 24 per cent to $97,860. For black households, it had plummeted 83 per cent to $2,170, a near wipe-out.
As Algernon Austin of EPI's Program on Race, Ethnicity and the Economy put it, "In 2009, for every dollar of wealth the average white household had, black households had two cents."
One explanation for this surely is the wave of foreclosures on subprime mortgages, a large share of which were held by African-Americans.
Though 10 per cent of theU.S.civilian labour force, African-Americans are 18 per cent ofU.S.government workers. … These jobs are the backbone of the black middle class.
But … those days are over. And as blackAmericabenefited immensely from the Great Society, so it is likely to hurt most as the cuts come.
Already, black voices are beginning to blame the black president whom fate has chosen to preside over the downsizing.
Obama, saysPrincetonprofessor Cornell West, "lacks backbone." He is a "black mascot of Wall Street and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats. ... I don't think in good conscience I could tell anybody to vote for Barack Obama".

UK Chief Rabbi: Equality laws leading to new Mayflower exodus
Britain's Orthodox Jewish leader, Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, claimed that anti-discrimination policies had fuelled an "erosion of religious liberty" inBritainthat was leading to a new "Mayflower", a reference to the flight of the persecuted Pilgrim Fathers toAmericain the 17th century.
Speaking to the House of Commons public administration select committee, Lord Sacks said there was "no doubt'' numbers of religious believers inBritainwere "extraordinarily'' low.
He continued: "I share a real concern that the attempt to impose the current prevailing template of equality and discrimination on religious organisations is an erosion of religious liberty.
"We are beginning to move back to where we came in the 17th century — a whole lot of people on the Mayflower leaving to find religious freedom elsewhere."

I was looking at modding a side window on my HAF X with a HAF 932 side window but cutting it larger to show more of my machine when I add my water cool. Then I thought about opening it more and remembered your side panel mod. One question I have right now which isn't about the side window is about the two mods you did to conceal the 5.25 bay and PSU area. I see you used 3M DI-NOC Carbon as a covering material but what did you use to create the actual forms? Looks like some kind of plastic.

Birthday Presents for Your Boyfriend
Mukta Gaikwad
Mar 4, 2020
He is the love of your life and it is his day. Go out of your way to make it as special as possible. Read on for a few tips on birthday presents for boyfriends, to gift him things you've never given him before!
Definitely, as it is your boyfriend's birthday, you have been planning to celebrate this day since the time you starting dating him. Your boyfriend's birthday is the best day to show him how much you care and love him.
Shower him with affection to make his day worth much more than what he had imagined. So here are a few ideas to make some of the fabulous birthday presents your boyfriend. Get a little creative, naughty and pour in dollops of love into making his day an unforgettable one!
Love is in The Air
Cascade your love with romantic birthday presents for your boyfriend. A gift need not be an expensive branded one. Here's an inexpensive, but a very special way to celebrate his birthday. Cook a homemade meal with his favorite dishes and pack it up.
Don't forget to add a bottle of fine wine. Blindfold your guy and take him out on a drive to a secret place, maybe a place he has never seen before. Once you get there, lay the table, either on the roof of the car or at the back of the car. Remove his blinds, open the bottle of wine and raise a toast to a new year of his life!
Have it His Way
We are sure, you've read between the lines. It's his day and he gets to make the choice. Sharing moments of passion is an excellent to show him your love. A long foreplay as you work your way up to the climax, is amongst the best birthday presents.
Surrender yourself to him, to slip away from the world and into intimate moments of pure love. This is the best romantic gift you could come up with!
Gifting the Traditional in an Unconventional Way
Men like, neckties, sunglasses and watches. But what's the point if you gift wrap a tie and give it to him. He'll open it over! To make it interesting, have a treasure hunt. Make him get all his by playing games all day.
Have some cute, funny, romantic and naughty clues like, 'the place where I saw you first'. The answer can be a coffee shop or some of your other favorite places, with another clue written across the cup of coffee with chocolate syrup! To the end of the quest, treat him with yourself wrapped in a red ribbon!
Baking the Gift
Cakes and birthdays are synonymous. Good birthday presents are always made. This time don't bother to buy a cake. Bake the cake together!
This birthday gift doesn't have to be a surprise. Knead the dough together, mix the other ingredients and the flavor of your choice together. What could be a better gift, than baking the sweetest dish with your sweetheart!
Making birthday presents for boyfriend will always be cherished and loved. Gifting is fun, if you put your heart into it. Avoid the run-of-the-mill gifts, because they will be over soon and the moment will disappear.
Do something out of this world to flatter him with all the love you have for him. Honestly, men are simple species, so don't think too much about what you should be gifting him. Keep it simple, but make it special. Make him happy, and just have it his way!
