America's Best Road Trips
Written by Taryn McKinnon
North America suggests daydream images of expansive landscape sprawling off into the distance like a never ending, unconquerable continent. Because of its massive size, many holidays to the US and Canada centre around major cities on either coast and skip all the stuff in between. Sure, you might think you're getting the highlights, but this itinerary leaves out some of the most pristine landscapes in North America, and certainly doesn't introduce visitors to the spirit of the open road and the tradition of manifest destiny and westward expansion that made the US what it is today. So leave the crowds of LA and the yellow cabs of NYC behind, cram the family into an old station wagon and hit the road to get a real taste of "real" America.
If it's highlights visitors to the US want, a road trip can be the perfect way to see them. In South Dakota, drive over the Missouri River, camp in Badlands National Park, make a pit stop at the Crazy Horse Memorial and end your journey like Nicholas Cage in National Treasure 2 at that classic monument to democracy, Mt Rushmore. Or, explore another cinematic landmark in the infamous location that has been a backdrop for more Hollywood scenes than any other, and drive through the Wild West of Utah along the Monument Highway, stopping to take pictures of the crumbling sandstone monuments.
Road trippers who are looking for a more authentic experience can opt instead for any one of the scenic highways throughout Canada and the US. There are no famous sights to see on these routes, but that's not to say the view through the windscreen will be anything less than impressive. Wind your way through the Appalachian Mountain roads and cozy campgrounds of North Carolina and Virginia's national parks on the Blue Ridge Parkway. In Montana, travel to new heights on the Going-to-the-Sun Road or, in Massachusetts, take to the Mohawk Trail and stop to take in the views, the wildlife, and the wild flowers that grow along the highway. In Canada, try the Icefields Parkway or the Sea to Sky Highway for ice capped peaks, skiing in winter and two of the most scenic drives in Canada.
Mountains not your thing? Sometimes careening the car around those windy curves can be a bit much - especially if you have passengers in the back. For a more relaxed road trip experience, skip going up and down and follow the coast North to South. Hawaii's Hana Highway offers views of the whole island of Maui, driving through the rainforest, past waterfalls, through miles of bamboo and all the way along the coast. If you're looking for something on the mainland try the Pacific Coast Highway winding along secluded coves, beaches and dramatic cliff faces all the way along the California coast. The Florida Overseas Highway is a shorter option that truly stays along the water, including 43 bridges, the drive takes you all the way from Miami to the Keys in just four hours, along some of the most beautiful waters and coastlines in the US.
Of course, when it comes to North American road trips, the landscape might be the last thing on any drivers mind. The focus inevitably becomes trying to conquer the whole thing coast to coast. The Trans Canada Highway does just that; drive from Newfoundland to British Columbia exploring all the best of Canada's wilderness and take yourself and your car all the way from the shore of the Atlantic to the coast of the Pacific. For a more famous route, make like Jack Kerouac, or at least feel like you are, and get on Route 66 for the notorious drive from Chicago, Illinois to California.
Trips across country are epic and that much time in the car is definitely not for everyone. But don't abandon the open road, there's still a stretch of highway for the road tripper who'd rather be a day tripper. The ride from Bourne to Orleans in Massachusetts' Cape Cod is an easy drive, taking visitors through all the charming New England towns with lots of cafes, beaches and antique shops to make pit stops at to stretch your legs. Vermont's Route 100 is another great day trip option in New England and you can still feel like an explorer of the great outdoors when you realize you've driven across the entire state.
No matter the region, or the road, there's plenty of highway in North America to drive across, whether you're in search of a destination or just along for the ride.
Find hotels and accommodation along your route and start planning your trip.

steve - the 'wheel art' was the result of an ice storm that was taking place when e and I were on a road trip. coincidentally we were driving to nyc (a few years back) to see the gates! in ny the city was blanketed in snow and it made viewing the gates even that much more terrific! anyhow, when we stopped for gas, I looked at the hubcaps of the car and saw those crazy shards coming out from the center....thought it totally cool and of course had to snap a pic to preserve the image -

Communication of Results
An increase in public awareness about demographic change is noticeable. However, there is only little knowledge about concrete approaches to workforce ageing. Many companies exhibit a need for mitigation and adaptation strategies, but also – particularly in SMEs – a lack of strategic capacity and solution-finding.
The promotion of concrete examples for practical application of age management, its merits and success factors of interventions from the LAMPs thus will provide incentives for other companies and public organisations to implement similar approach themselves. The relative heterogeneity of the "Lighthouse" companies and public organisations in terms of staff size, branches, public/private status, national legislation etc. will be helpful in making the intervention approach transferable, as the latter will result in a wide array of examples with different preconditions and settings.
The communication activities thus take place at two different levels: Dissemination activities at the LAMP level lie within the responsibility of the Facilitating Partners and include:
- information of the Lighthouse Organisation staff about the intervention, its objectives and results,
- regional dissemination seminars for local and regional target groups such as public and private employers, trade union representatives, labour market stakeholders and relevant political decision makers and public servants,
- a summary of LAMP results (case study), based on the evaluation results, for all interested stakeholders.
At the project level, the Partnership and Project Management have the task to promote the overall and comparative evaluation results to relevant stakeholders in politics and public administration, business and scientific circles and relevant EU bodies in order to demonstrate the economic benefits of age management and engage them in a debate on integration of age management in national policies. This is done by publishing evaluation reports, brochures and leaflets and by presenting the project at conferences and exhibitions.

Thao Nguyen began her career as a singer-songwriter in her teens, while making change for customers at her mother's laundromat. Her musical influences include country, folk and hip-hop, but her music is uniquely her own.
Her latest album as the frontwoman of the band Thao and the Get Down Stay Down is called A Man Alive, and takes its inspiration from Thao's complicated relationship with her father. Their estrangement began when Thao was a teenager and has continued into her adulthood. Her feelings of affection and resentment results in a musical experience that is both raw and intimate.
Thao Nguyen sat down with Jesse to talk about the importance of her collaboration with producer Merrill Garbus in the making of the album, the diversity of her early musical influences and the struggle to fit in while growing up as a Vietnamese-American.
Thao and the Get Down Stay Down's new album, A Man Alive is available now. The band is currently on a cross country tour; you can find those tourdates here.
Lance Bangs is the kind of filmmaker who would prefer jumping into the backseat of a car with a camera than being responsible for a huge budget and massive crew. His intimate approach to filmmaking has been appreciated and sought after not only for films and television, but also numerous music videos for performers including Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Green Day, Arcade Fire, REM and Kanye West.
He was even brought on to help film the intimate relationships within the MTV reality show Jackass, which focused on its talent performing incredibly dangerous and crude pranks and stunts.
Lance Bangs' latest television show is the new Viceland series Flophouse. The show profiles the lives of up-and-coming stand-up comics and the sometimes questionable living conditions they live under while trying to make career for themselves in comedy.
Lance Bangs joined Jesse to talk about his why he prefers his intimate approach to filmmaking, his memories of working on Jackass and why he is attracted to the world of comedy.
The first season of Flophouse is airing now on Viceland Thursdays at 10:30pm.
Jesse talks about the emotional depth to be found in Black Sabbath's 1970 album, Paranoid.

You'll also get to try some unique and fun ways of traveling. Saddle up on a lofty perch on the back of camel in Morocco or hop aboard a kayak to look for orcas in the San Juan Islands. Our trips are planned with conservation, the environment, and YOU in mind. All of our trips include these special qualities…..
- Travel in the company of like-minded people…people who are curious and enjoy life and treasure the natural world.
- Meet people who live in the world community – not just wave to them from a bus window.
- Veer off the main roads on your way to remote villages, ancient ruins, and each country's hidden treasures.
- Be part of something unique. Our trips aren't available from any travel agent, aren't for the mass-consumer market and aren't something you'll see every Sunday in the travel section of your newspaper.
- Travelers are provided with insightful and helpful materials before every trip. You will know what to pack, what temperatures to expect, what documents you need, what are the important issues and latest news items and much more.
- Our trips are terrific values. In every case you are getting your money's worth. Prices include accommodations, in country transportation and some times international air, guides and educational programming, most if not all meals, and a host of extras. Plus the average size group is just 12 – 20 participants. Why so small? Because small groups ensure minimal impact on the environment and maximum enjoyment for the traveler – two things we love.
- We work only with companies that share our mission and believe in traveling responsibly and sensitively.

Trailer Track
A couple of years back now a good friend of mine decided he'd had enough of the 9 to 5 or more accurately the 7 to 3.30! And after some consideration, made the move to finish his employment forthwith. With the empty days stacked up ahead of him he gave some thought to what he might like to do and after several non starts in the job application business he decided he could better fill his time with something more meaningful. So, he set about building a mobile track.
The whole thing was built from the ground up. The trailer was constructed from components under his home in Brisbane and was built specifically to accommodate a track. The track had been drawn out and it was planned to have a split elevation to increase interest and to allow for more track. It was always intended, too, to have the complete track finished with proper landscaping and buildings.
The trailer was finally constructed using readily available components and the work proper was started on the circuit. Thinner board than previously employed was used to allow the track surface to be bent and shaped onto its final three dimensional appearance. Next, with the help of another good friend, the track slowly took shape.
With the main track surface complete, the landscaping was started and work began on the buildings. As you can see from the pictures, the landscaping is very effective. Skills picked up while helping his father with model railway layouts obviously paid off big time here. Even the trees were fabricated from copper wire. Fencing was made from galvanised mesh and the grass area was the 'sprinkle on' grass from the hobby shops.
All the buildings were made by good friend Terry who is a retiree. Many hours were spent in painfully reconstructing the look of structural steel and modern cladding materials and the end result was simply breathtaking. Right down to his and hers conveniences!
Lap timing and race management is by the windows based program used on all of the tracks in these features. The track surface is grey paint and the conductors are self adhesive copper strip from the local glazing company.
The track is truly a drivers circuit. There are no long straight disappearing over the horizon and no super wide bends to allow the easy passage of cars. You are in the thick of it with this circuit! Lanes converge and straights are short. No sooner have you hit the fast button than you are braking hard for the next corner. Hot cars loose most of their time spinning wheels here and the lesser powered models and the more restrained drivers will take advantage of this.
Nearly all the corners overlap which means at best you will be rubbing door handles with the adjacent slots and at worst you could be in contact with everybody! The driver that picks his moment here will come off best. Three minutes worth of racing on this track will be the equivalent of a twenty minute race on plastic or wide spaced board track.
More can happen to the unwary in an afternoon than they would normally experience in a month of racing! Yet, with four experienced racers on this track it is possible to do a whole race without a deslot or incidents! Restraint being the key word. Forget your 25,000 rpm tuners! With that sort of motor the marshalls will see more of your model than you do!. Standard 'S' cans and NC1's rule the day here! Even standard SCX cars can win.
The track has been idle for a little while now and racing has been on the bigger track. It must be about time to dust it off for another session of white knuckle slot car racing! One observation would be that mastering something like this will make a person a better driver. It instils discipline and patience in a driver which will pay dividends on plastic and magnet tracks.

The first Pangaea course took place in 2016 to train astronauts in identifying planetary geological features for future missions to the Moon, Mars and asteroids.
The first week saw astronauts work under leading European planetary geologists and apply their knowledge during field trips in Bressanone, Italy.
The theory included learning about planetary geology from Matteo Messironi, a geologist working on the Rosetta and ExoMars missions, lunar geology from Moon expert Harald Hiesinger, meteorites from Anna Maria Fioretti and Mars from expert Nicolas Mangold, who works with NASA's Curiosity Mars rover.
The theory part was followed by field trips in carefully chosen areas representing other planets in terms of geological features. The practical lessons saw the students recognise rocks, draw landscapes and explore a canyon that has sedimentary features similar to those discovered by Curiosity on Mars.
The second part of the course started in October on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain.
The first students that took part in Pangaea, were:
- Luca Parmitano, ESA astronaut and test pilot
- Pedro Duque, ESA astronaut and engineer
- Matthias Maurer, ESA astronaut and scientist
Luca, Pedro and Matthias have a vast experience combined with missions on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station as well as spacewalk and mission control experience.
Their scientific background is diverse which helped verify how well the course was designed.

Sydney-London Classic Marathon Rally 2014
Owing its name to the famous rally of the early 70's, the Sydney-London Classic Marathon doesn't quite cross as many countries as the original but the originality makes up for it. A mixture of well tried rally heroes like the Datsun 240Z, Ford Escorts and Porsche 911's were joined by Holdens, Volvos and Ford Mustangs, as well as several modern cars.
Starting at at Sydney covering a total of 16,000 km (just under 10,000 miles) the cars drive across Australia, then airlifted to Turkey and driven to London via the Balkans through Italy. Some cars only did certain sections, but all cars that were registered to race the full distance made it. I caught up with the classic cars on the last night before the race finished in Windsor.
Hans Appelgren and Kjell Appelgren's Volvo 123GT
John Henderson and Jeffrey West's Volvo 144
Joost Van Cauwenberge and Jacques Castelein's Porsche 911

Ervin Lupoe's wife and children It was described as one of the most grisly scenes Los Angeles police had ever encountered: the bodies of five young children and their parents, all shot to death, in two upstairs rooms of the family's home.
"The reaction on their faces was not a pretty sight," neighbor Jasmine Gomez told CNN. "There was an officer who came out of the house throwing up."
But even more incomprehensible to some was the story that emerged after the bodies were found Tuesday: A father who, in a last desperate act after he and his wife were fired from their jobs, killed all six family members before turning the gun on himself.
In a letter faxed to Los Angeles television station KABC before his suicide, Ervin Antonio Lupoe blamed his former employer for the deaths, detailing his grievance against Kaiser Permanente's West Los Angeles Medical Center, where he and his wife, Ana, had worked as technicians.
Lupoe, 40, claimed the couple was being investigated for "misrepresentation of our employment to an outside agency for the benefit to ourselves's (sic), childcare." He said the initial interview was held on December 19, and when he reported for work on December 23, "I was told by my administrator ... that 'You should not even have bothered to come to work today. You should have blown your brains out.'"
"Oh lord, my God," the letter concludes. "Is there no hope for a widow's son?"
Kaiser Permanente said in a statement Tuesday night that although the company is "saddened by the despair in Mr. Lupoe's letter faxed to the media ... we are confident that no one told him to take his own life or the lives of his family." TheSun

text: A group of scientist consider ageing as a disease and wants to treat it. The key solution? We don't know yet, but what we know for sure is that regeneration will be an important part of the solution. Why some animals regenerate better than others? Why it is easier for them to recover completely from injuries, from amputated limbs… Why there is few examples among mammals? Wouldn't be nice to come back from surgery without scars or permanent damage to internal organs? Solving these questions and others is the aim of the next project which is focused on one type of mammal that has the ability of regenerate. By backing this project you will contribute to expand your own life spam, isn't it a good perspective to live more?

"Peter Foucault's procedure connects his work with the Surrealist lineage of automatism, the chance-enamored strategies of Fluxus and oddities on the fringes of art such as Harold Cohen's computer-generated drawings." — Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle
We're excited to feature Oakland-based artist, Peter Foucault. Peter creates works on paper that are fueled by his love of drawing and mark making. In his latest series of works, he created and employed a sound-activated robot that "paints" ink-based drawings based on the perception of sound in its environment.

Hi there.
Lately when we with Deniil/onyxsoft works on muiowb, we found that default cybegraphics includes of the latest SDK are not full and a bit buggy. Deniil fix all of this, and i just describe/upload it's all here (to make our SDK better). Let's explain:
1. SDK's cybergraphics includes does not have working WPAA (WritePixelArrayAlpha), but cybegraphics.library emulation already support it, and interfaces/cybegraphics.h also have APICALL for it, but inline/cybegraphics.h not have description of function, and so we added that. Tested it and it works (if test examples of prove need it, i will upload it as well, but we already use it in few prods, so it can be used just as it).
2. SDK also not have main cybegraphics.h file, in which:
- struct CyberModeNode
- defines for Parameters for GetCyberMapAttr() (such as CYBRMATTR_BPPIX , CYBRMATTR_DISPADR and so on)
- defines for Parameters for GetCyberIDAttr() (such as CYBRIDATTR_PIXFMT , CYBRIDATTR_WIDTH and so on)
- definition of divers pixel formats
- SrcRectangle formats defines for xxxPixelArray calls()
And so on. All of this in the cybegraphx/cybegraphics.h, which we not have, but will be good to just put it to SDK as well, so everyone who will want to use CGX emulation, will just works with it with no problems, and for developer will no need to worry about why WPAA not works, or why some defines are not present in SDK.
Archive with fixed inline/cybegraphics.h and with new cybergraphx/cybergraphics.h are attached. That all already checked and used, all definations works and structs works fine via our cybegraphics emulation, but if it will be very necessary, i also can create few "proof-of" example to show that all of this works and can be included to SDK.

Aviation History
FLIGHT, 20 JanUary 1961 91 Sport and Business Pod-and-boom construction is featured in the SZD-25 Lis (Fox), a new fifteen-metre-span Polish glider DOMINATIONS for the Jean Lennox Bird Trophyand the Brabazon Cup for 1960 are invited by the British Women Pilots' Association. Candidates for:he awards must be British women pilots with at least a student pilot's licence or a gliding B certificate.The Bird Trophy will be awarded for work over a period or a series of achievements, and the BrabazonCup for a single outstanding achievement, during 1960. "Any- one with an interest in aviation" may nominate candidates (detailsto Miss M. Woodall, 3 St James's Gardens, London Wll); all nominations will be in confidence; and the awards are to be madeat the end of April. DURING THE 1960 FISCAL YEAR ending on September 30,Cessna Aircraft Co again sold more light aircraft than any other United States company. The Cessna share amounted to 47 percent of the numbers of aircraft, and 36 per cent of the total value. Although total sales decreased slightly, compared with the pre-vious year, from $105,786,000 to $103,278,000, the company's export" sales increased from $6,959,000 to $10,497,000. Thenumber of aircraft exported increased from 494 to 709. In the annual report to stockholders, company president Dwane L.Wallace mentioned the expansion of Cessna operations during rhe year with the acquisition of a minority interest in Avions MaxHolste of Reims; and the acquisition as a wholly owned subsidiary of McCauley Industrial Corp, the propeller manufacturers ofDayton, Ohio. AT SEABROOK (KENT) MAGISTRATES' COURT onDecember 29, Alan James Bennett was fined £40 for being the commander of an aircraft and failing to satisfy himself thata flight could be made safely; £10 for acting as the radio operator of an aircraft without a licence; £10 for operating the radio stationof an aircraft without a licence, and £40 for operating the radio so as to cause interference, impairing the efficiency of telecom-munications. He pleaded guilty to the first three charges but not guilty to the fourth. It was stated that Bennett took off from Southend in a Prenticeon August 25 with four passengers. It was his intention to fly to Le Touquet but, before he reached the Channel, he realizedthat it would be too dark to go on. He turned back and landed at Lympne which was, at that time, closed to aircraft. The follow-ing day, after conversation with an air traffic controller at Lympne, it was agreed to maintain radio contact while Bennett continued his flight to Le Touquet. The procedure he used on the flightwas of a type no qualified operator would have used. "Either he was totally inexperienced," said Mr D. G. Williams, prosecuting,"or he deliberately flouted the rules of radio procedure." Other aircraft had their messages blocked by his transmitting when heshould not have been on the air at all, and very dangerous circum- stances could have arisen. A Gemini on its way to Lympnewas not able to acknowledge clearance for landing because of this interference. Two other aircraft were being dealt with. Onehad to change to another frequency and it was some time before the other could be helped. Bennett said that he was under a misapprehension as to theneed for a licence, and that he was not as inexperienced as the prosecution made out. He had no reason to think he was inter-fering with anyone else, and he heard absolutely nothing on the frequency used. He had been flying for more than five years.The chairman of the magistrates told Bennett that the charges could have resulted in fines amounting to £600 and the possibilityof imprisonment. RETROSPECT From "Flight" of January 21, 1911 Aero Clubs hi Canada: We are daily being reminded by ihv waysubscriptions for FLIGHT come from remote corners of the earth that interest in aviation is world-wide. It may be interesting to many ofour readers to learn from one of our correspondents that even in the town of Oshawa, Ontario, fnr instance, there is a small club whichmeets once a week for the purpose of discussing flying matters, each member taking a turn at reading a paper. AUSTRALIAN LIGHT AIRCRAFT dealers sold 150 light air-craft during 1960 valued at £Al,500,000. The biggest buyers were graziers who used aircraft in their daily work and for journeys totowns. Light aircraft are reported to have grown into a business worth more than £A1,000,000 p.a. Main factor on the growth ofsales has been the lifting of import restrictions, and at least ten types of light aircraft from North America are available.On the other hand the Australian AOPA has asked members to try to improve the accident record—described as "appalling"—during 1961. During the last two years there have been serious accidents to light aircraft at the rate of one every three-and-a-half days, not including minor accidents which did not cause injury. The main type of accident was striking high-tension cables. ORDERS FOR MORANE RALLYES totalled 150 by lastChristmas Day, 76 of them from customers in 16 foreign countries. The 90 h.p. and 100 h.p. versions are now called MS.880 RallyeClub, and the 145 h.p. version MS.885 Super Rallye. The present schedule calls for the completion of the true production prototype90/100 h.p. version this month, completion of the 145 h.p. proto- type and the founh airframe (for structural tests) in February andthe four first production aircraft during April. Thereafter, 16 will be made in May, 20 in June and 30 in July. Production will thenremain at 30 per month for the whole initial batch of 250. Morane have ordered from Continental a batch of 150 engines of 145 h.p.,125 of 100 h.p. and 25 of 90 h.p., deliveries to begin in March. DERIVED FROM the single-seat Breguet 905 Fauvette, theBreguet 906 Choucas has been selected by the French Govern- ment to equip national gliding centres and private gliding clubs.Its role will include both basic and advanced training. The Choucas was chosen in preference to the Wassmer Bijave. A brace of newsworthy Aero Commanders: (upper photograph) the JflOlst production machine, a Model 680F purchased by Asahi Press of Tokyo—who still operate also the first production Commander, a Model 520 purchased eight years ago; and the Commander 5006, first on the British register, recently acquired by Mr Geoffrey Woods, president of Woods of Colchester Ltd

We are continuing to aim our Tuesday training towards the Hogweed Half.
In last week's Fartlek session we practiced visualising the distances set out and running at a consistent pace over those distances. In this week's training we are running timed efforts of 2min at 1/2M speed and 1 min at 10K speed. The aim is to help you to run consistently paced reps, increase your speed endurance and improve your running economy.
On Thursday we've got the Shirenewton runs, followed closely by Curry Night!
Then on Sunday come and run the last Gwent League xc of the season at Singleton Park, Swansea. The men's race starts at 12.15, and the women's very closely afterwards at 12.45. So straight there (don't forget to bring some cakes), on to the start line, do your stuff, scoff down the shared cakes and off home again.
I see on the Bulletin Board that we need a few more runners, so come to the Leisure Centre just before 10 to share cars. We'll be back by mid afternoon. Please let Team Captains Lou or Mark know you're coming.

Okay, my non-cooking friends, here's an easy one: vegetarian tacos. This is a staple at the Freed farm.
Corn tortillas (white or yellow)
Vegetable oil
Refried beans (I like to mix in some hot sauce for spice)
Cheddar cheese
Yellow or sweet onion
Roma tomatoes
Garlic (minced)
Lime (optional)
Salt (I use sea salt)
Pepper (I use white pepper)
optional additions:
salsa verde
salsa verde
shredded lettuce
avocado or guacamole
sour cream (or nonfat plain yogurt)
Prep: Wash and dice roma tomatoes. Add to medium bowl. Mince some onion (to taste- I usually use a couple thin slices/rounds) and add to tomatoes. Dice and add a jalapeno. I leave the seeds in for heat, but if you don't like too much spice, you can remove. Wash and trim some cilantro. I like to use a lot, and its easiest to cut up into little pieces over the bowl with kitchen shears. Add some garlic, salt and pepper, garlic salt if you have any, and lime to taste. Mix all together and adjust to taste. You'll want to make a little while before you plan to eat and refrigerate since it takes a little while for the flavors to mix and absorb.
Shred some cheese. Set aside. Warm the beans on stove in small saucepan or nuke in the microwave (covered!)
Set aside a large plate covered with paper towel to hold the taco shells as they come out of the grease. Use a small pan for the oil. Pour in about a 1/4 inch vegetable oil (should look deep enough to cover a tortilla). Medium-high heat. You'll know its hot enough when you dip in the edge of the tortilla and it starts to sizzle. If it starts to look too brown really fast your heat is too high. Use tongs to dip the tortilla half way in the grease, keeping the other half at a 90 degree angle. When it starts to firm up, hold it with tongs by the brown side and do the other half and reducing the angle to about 60 degrees. Taco shell-ish. You just want it to be big enough to pile on all the good stuff. I usually make 2 per person. They should be crisp, but not falling apart, and not chewy.
To the shell add beans, cheese, some cilantro or lettuce, and a spoonful of your fresh pico de gallo. Delicious and fast. Now go make yourself a margarita! Next up, Spanish rice...

better than good, i'd sayReplyDelete
Oh goodness. You just reminded me that I still have Christmas treats to make too. Maybe I'll get everything done that I wanted to do for Christmas by Valentine's Day! ;)ReplyDelete
Aaah is right (and quiet can be soooo good).ReplyDelete
I've been given $35 in iTunes gift certificates and don't have a clue where to begin--I neither own an iPod nor do I have iTunes downloaded to my PC.ReplyDelete
I keep thinking *well, I could download some music to my PC* but I usually listen to Pandora if anything--I don't really want my music trapped inside my PC.
Can you download tunes to your PC and then burn them onto CDs?
You see, I'm living in 1989. :)
Jessica - Yes, you can. They'll slso be stored in your itunes store, in case you need to put them onto cd again. (scratched, etc.)ReplyDelete

Happy 2013!!! It's a new year already, which means a blank slate in which to read new books, enjoy new worlds and start a brand new list of books read in 365 days. This is the 5th year in a row (since I started keeping a book log) that I made my reading goal and I've definitely come a long way from my 50 book goal in 2008 to the 150 I aimed to read in 2012. Yay for meeting goals!
Although to be fair, I was unemployed (yet again) January through part of October, so that might be why I was able to read so much. Here's hoping I can still hit at least 150 for 2013 since it's already set in stone on GoodReads, which apparently counts the number of books and the page count. Social media never made being a bibliophile so easy.
In 2012 I read a grand total of 156 books (see full visual list HERE), hitting my goal and landing on a nice even number. YAY EVEN NUMBERS! 39 of those were novels, 3 were anthologies, 16 were non-fiction, 45 of them were young adult novels, 36 were graphic novels and trades, 16 were middle grade books and 1 was a poetry collection.
The Best of the Best:
20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
Recommended for: Anyone with a desire to read creepy stories about ghosts, serial killers, super powers and everything in-between.
I discovered Joe Hill last year when I read the amazing Heart-Shaped Box which gave me nightmares for weeks, but this collection is proof that he also shines in short story form. From tales about ladies who haunt movie theatres to vengeful super-powered boyfriends, a family of redneck killers tied to a manuscript and ghostly victims who send messages from beyond the grave via telephone, Hill leaves no terrifying stone unturned.
American Vampire Vol. 1 by Scott Snyder and Stephen King
Recommended for: Graphic novel lovers looking for a high-brow comic book series.
I'm a little late to the American Vampire game (especially considering they're currently up to volume four) but that's not the worst sin, I've gotten into fandoms after they've ceased to exist. This comic book series follows a new kind of vampire throughout the centuries – an American vampire- from the Wild West to the roaring twenties. The other trades travel through different time periods, but volume one will always be the most gripping story for me, giving an amazing back story to the villainous Skinner Sweet and the men who seek to kill him.
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Recommended for: Everyone who doesn't think they could possibly enjoy a young adult novel without paranormal elements.
Awful cover notwithstanding, this is an amazing book, and this is coming from someone who doesn't like plots centered around romances. The novel follows Anna as she's forced into a prestigious boarding school in France and falls in love with the rakishly dashing and awesomely named Étienne St. Clair in a story that's equal parts fluff, angst and sharp wit. Warning: might have you up until 3:00AM finding out what happens to Anna while simultaneously making grilled cheese because you wish you were in Paris.
Daughter of Smoke & Bone and Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor
Recommended for: Young adult aficionados looking for an author at the top of their game.
There are not enough wonderful things to say about Laini Taylor and her writing, and for some reason the only coherent thoughts I can form look a little something like: OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO READ LAINI TAYLOR'S BOOKS THEY MAKE ME WANT TO DANCE AND CRY AND LAUGH ALL AT THE SAME TIME! The series itself follows Karou, a girl with blue hair who is friends with demons and has access to magic. And it's the most amazing YA series in the history of ever. For serious.
Delirium and Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
Recommended for: Readers looking for a refreshing take on dystopic fiction that stands heads and shoulders above similar novels.
Another great new young adult series I stumbled across this year was Delirium, which is the usual dystopic novel where a young, smart girl fights against the oppressive government with a side of love triangle. Good thing Lauren Oliver's writing is so much better than the average young adult trilogy. The world in which teens are cured of the disease amor deliria nervosa (love) is wonderfully brought to life through the eyes of Lena, who I last left on a painful cliffhanger. Can the finale Requiem be here now?
The Diviners by Libba Bray
Recommended for: Lovers of the paranormal, the roaring 20's and a great unrequited love story.
The best paranormal story of the year hands down goes to the ever-fabulous Libba Bray. This brand new series from the author follows Evie O'Neill through New York in the 20's, a world of speakeasies and paranormal mysteries to solve as she works alongside her uncle at The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies (not its official name) and proceeds to be a pos-i-toot-ly adorable young heroine. Bonus points for my favorite trope of unrequited romance which set my shipper heart alight intermingled with some horrifying supernatural elements.
Every Day by David Levithan
Recommended for: Anyone and everyone. No, seriously.
A is cursed/gifted with a unique situation, every day they wake up in the body of a completely different person. Unable to make connections, moving from shell to shell, A does the unthinkable: A falls in love with Rhiannon and risks the secret of their existence to get close to her. An intriguing looks at the different lives humanity leads, what molds us, and every manner of metaphysical question that will keep you up at night pondering. A truly wonderful yet wholly undefinable novel, making it one of the best of the year.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Recommended for: Bookies who want to sob uncontrollably while reading the most gorgeous prose out there.
Is there any more praise that can be heaped on John Green's latest novel? Probably, so here's a little more. TFiOS is one of those novels full of lines that will have your heart shattering into a million pieces, whether out of happiness or sadness. If you have a soul, you will laugh and sob your way through it. And if that isn't enough, it has an unprecedented five stars on Amazon and was at the top of the New York Time's bestseller list for seven weeks. Did I mention it will make you cry?
For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund
Recommended for: Readers who love new takes on old classics.
For Darkness Shows the Stars (the title and cover alone are so beautiful they kill me) is a science-fiction remake of Jane Austen's Persuasion with a post-apocalyptic twist. The story is just as enriching as the concept, with a social divide between the religious Luddites and the mentally deficient Reduced. Add in an epic love story that transcends race and social status and you have a typically romantic Austen novel. Add in ridiculously futuristic names like Captain Malakai Wentworth and a group called the Cloud Fleet, sun carts and genetic engineering and you have sci-fi Austen.
I Am A Pole (And So Can You!) and America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't by Stephen Colbert
Recommended for: Fans of any and all things Stephen Colbert.
Both of Stephen Colbert's releases this year were equally humorous, but only one has an awesome blurb by the late Maurice Sendak and convinced adults that this children's book was awfully inappropriate for their wee-ones. His follow-up book America Again on the other hand touched upon all manner of topics, from the economy to healthcare to food, all in glorious 3-D. No seriously, a portion of it's in 3-D. Would I lie to you?
Memorial Vol. 1 by Chris Roberson
Recommended for: Fantasy lovers or anyone who enjoys independent comics.
An amnesiac girl who calls herself Em wanders into an antique shop that contains a way into other worlds. As Em travels from place to place with her cat Schrodinger (see what they did there?) she learns about her mysterious past and unlocks the secrets to the Queens Maybe, Moment and Memory who rule the lands of Maybe, Is and Was, where the collection conscious of what was, what is and what could be are stored. Classic literary characters abound in this Fables meets Locke & Key world!
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
Recommended for: People who appreciate strong female leads and richly woven fairy tales.
Not your typical children's book, this lush story from Shannon Hale tells the tale of the Princess Academy, where young of-age ladies learn how to properly behave in order to become a Princess. Despite that all the children in the village learn what it takes to be a Princess, only one girl can be chosen by the Prince as his future Queen. Don't worry, it's much less like a reality television show about fighting to become a Princess than it sounds. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
Sacré Bleu: A Comedy d'Art by Christopher Moore
Recommended for: Art lovers and readers who look for a sardonic twist in their books.
Moore's books are always funny, and this one in particular has the added bonus of being smart, funny and reads like historical fiction crack fic. In a good way. Starring Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa, Vincent Van Gogh and the color blue as well as some fully fleshed out original characters, this is Moore's funniest and most original work yet, and that's saying a whole lot. Sorry vampire novels, you have nothing on muses, art and Moore's most recent penchant for fan fiction.
Saga Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan
Recommended for: Comic book readers looking for the best new series of the year.
This character driven science-fiction series has everything you need: a star-crossed romance on distant planets, freelance murderers, a cat creature who can sense lies, ghosts, and a forest made of rocket ships. Accompanied by gorgeous artwork from Fiona Staples and punctuated with Brian K. Vaughan's amazing dialogue, I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best new series of the entire year. Sorry Hawkeye, sorry Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, you can't mess with perfection.
Shooting Monkeys in a Barrel by S.G. Browne
Recommended for: Short story enthusiasts who like their talees to range from the fantastic to the avaunt-garde.
Yet another fabulous short story collection- this one only available in eBook form- contains zombies, drug dealers that sell words to cure writer's block, robotic sex dolls, anthropomorphic shampoo, super powered homeless people and a culture in which you can purchase famous and fictional personalities. At all times imaginative with touches of wit, a good deal of Browne's shorts will be turned into full length novels in the future. So much to love, so hard to wait for a lengthier version to devour.
The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde by Cole Haddon
Recommended for: Lovers of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or Jack the Ripper.
This trade collection of the comic book mini-series of the same name follows Inspector Thomas Adye of Scotland Yard (who looks suspiciously like David Tennant) as he enlists the help of an imprisoned Dr. Henry Jekyll. Hannibal Lector style. Quid-pro-quot Thomas Adye. Insert slurping sounds here. The bromantic duo work together to catch Jack the Ripper as he uses Hyde's serum to wreak havoc on London and decimate their prostitute population. Funny, original and fabulous. Huzzah for bromances.
The Strange Talent of Luther Strode Vol. 1 by Justin Jordan
Recommended for: Violence and action buffs who enjoy their origin stories to have some meat.
One of the better origin stories out there (albeit for a brand new comic book character), Luther Strode follows a nerdy boy through his journey from picked on uber-geek to hulked out enormous anti-hero. Fantastic writing from Justin Jordan, an awareness of popular culture and stunning illustrations by Tradd Moore all work together to create a series that is now available in trade form. If you missed out on adding this to your pull list, I highly recommend grabbing the collected version before the sequel continues its run of awesome.
Stupid Perfect World by Scott Westerfeld
Recommended for: All YA readers big and small and passionate Hamlet fans.
Stupid Perfect World is an eBook only novella from Scott Westerfeld about a dystopic society in which our bodies are modified to protect us from harm and students are assigned to Scarcity class to see what things used to be like back in the day. Back when you couldn't teleport everywhere, needed sleep to survive and suffered from a variety of illnesses and ailments. Add in some teenage angst inspired by Hamlet, a cutesy love story and it's one of the best novellas of the year. Highly recommend!
Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar
Recommended for: People who think Superman is the worst and want to be proven wrong.
I do not like Superman. I think he's boring, pretentious, and far too "good" to possibly be interesting. That was until I was handed Red Son and had my mind blown into a million pieces. In this alternate history graphic novel, Mark Millar ponders what would happen if Superman crash-landed in Russia instead of America. Starring: crazed Wonder Woman, fat Ruskie Batman and a twist ending that will blow your mind. Seriously, you will ponder it so hard you might be risking an aneurysm.
Voodoo Heart by Scott Snyder
Recommended for: Readers who can handle ennui, beautiful writing and unhappy endings.
Your heart will break into a thousand pieces if you read this short story anthology from comic book writer Scott Snyder. While you can expect superb writing and original ideas, don't expect happy endings. Not for the faint at heart or readers who weep easily. Snyder covers airships, biplanes, damaged celebrities, and prisoners- none of whom quite get what they want. If you love bittersweet, you will love this collection. Then you will curl up in bed and cry yourself to sleep while listening to Morrissey. Don't worry, it's worth it.
The Worst of the Worst:
50 Popular Beliefs That People Think Are True by Guy P. Harris (Self-important author tells you you're wrong about everything, using arguments and stories rather than concrete evidence to prove his point.)
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (No attachment to the space theme or the characters, couldn't ignore the racism or the fact that it was written by insane bigot Orson Scott Card.)
The Land of Stories: the Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer (Two children fall into a derivative book of fairy tales that is too long for its own good. Should have hired that ghost writer.)
MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend by Rachel Bertsche (A lonely women desperately tries to make friends in an increasing number of depressing ways.)
Reached by Ally Condie (Lackluster ending to a dystopic YA trilogy with an amazing start that left me wanting- but not getting- so much more.)
Splintered by A.G. Howard (Descendant of Alice Liddell falls into Wonderland and has gag-inducing adventure with her love interest and imaginary friend/Brandon Lee doppelganger Morpheus.)
The Vanishing Act by Mette Jakobsen (So boring I barely remember what it was about besides a dead boy and a missing mom who had an affair with a magician.)
My 2012 Reading Resolutions included finishing all graphic novels and trades (EPIC FAIL), reading more non-fiction (SUCCESS! I read 11 more true stories this year), catching up on all ongoing series (HA!), reading Chuck Palahniuk's Pygmy and Tell-All (DOUBLE HA!) and finishing everything ever written by Joe Hill (ACHIEVED!)
For 2013, I'm going to keep things much simpler by eliminating the massive to-read pile on my side table by actually reading them into oblivion, finishing any books I borrowed from friends/family, and starting to make a dent in the unread books on my bookshelves. The more I read, the more new books I can buy. I'm gonna need a bigger
mouth bookshelf!

Kaplan was born on April 1, 1904 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the youngest of three sons of Benjamin and Celia (Solomont)
Kaplan. He attended English High School and Bryant and Stratton School in Boston. In 1924, Kivie Kaplan and his brothers,
Joseph and Archie, took over their father's leather businesses. The businesses run by the Kaplans were models of management-labor cooperation. The employees participated in a profit-sharing program which paid out several million dollars
over the years. Suggestions from employees were encouraged and rewarded. Everyone in the plants, including the executives,
ate in the same dining room and was provided free lunches. Kaplan successfully helped run the tanneries until 1962 when he
retired to devote all of his time to philanthropic work.
He had joined the N.A.A.C.P. in 1932 and was elected to the National Board in 1954. He was also the National Chairman of
the N.A.A.C.P. Life Membership Committee and active on life memberships dramatically increased from a few hundred to several
hundred thousand. In 1966, he was elected as President of the N.A.A.C.P. and held that post until his death. As President
of the N.A.A.C.P., Kaplan actively worked to make the organization successful. He spoke throughout the United States on its
behalf and sought financial contributions wherever he could. Kaplan was trustee of two black colleges: Lincoln University
in Pennsylvania and Tougaloo College in Mississippi.
Kaplan was also involved in Jewish affairs and was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations
(U.A.H.C.). He was a member of the U.A.H.C.'s Executive Committee as well as its Social Action Commission. He contributed
large sums of money to the Jewish Memorial Hospital in Boston and Brandeis University. The Religious Action Center of U.A.H.C.
in Washington, DC was built with money donated by Kaplan and his wife, Emily.
Kaplan received numerous awards and honorary degrees. Among these were the Amistad Award of the American
Missionary Association, the Men of Vision Award from the Bonds for Israel Committee, and honorary degrees from Wilberforce
University, Wilberforce, Ohio, Hebrew Union College, and Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.
In 1925, Kivie Kaplan married Emily Rogers. They had three
children, Sylvia (Grossman), Jean (Green), and Edward. Kivie Kaplan died on May 5, 1975.
According to colonial records, the first slave owner in the United States was a black
Prior to 1655 there were no legal chattel slaves in the colonies,
only indentured servants. All masters were required to free their servants after their time was up. Seven years was the
limit that an indentured servant could be held.
Upon their release they were granted 50 acres of land. This included any black African purchased from slave traders.
Blacks were also granted 50 acres upon their release.
Anthony Johnson was a Negro from modern-day Angola. He was brought to the US to work on a tobacco
farm in 1619. In 1622 he was almost killed when Powhatan Indians attacked the farm. 52 out of 57 people on the farm perished
in the attack. He married a female black servant while working on the farm.
When Anthony was released he was legally recognized as a "free Negro" and
ran a successful farm. In 1651 he held 250 acres and five black indentured servants. In 1654, it was time for Anthony to
release John Casor, a black indentured servant. Instead Anthony told Casor he was extending his time. Casor left and became
employed by the free white man Robert Parker.
Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654. In 1655, the court ruled that Anthony Johnson
could hold John Casor indefinitely. The court gave judicial sanction for blacks to own members of their own race as chattel
slaves. Thus Casor became the first permanent slave and Johnson the first slave owner.
Whites still could not legally hold a black servant as a chattel slave until 1670. In that year, the colonial assembly
passed legislation permitting free whites, blacks, and Indians the right to own blacks as slaves.
By 1699, the number of free blacks prompted fears of a "Negro insurrection."
Virginia Colonial ordered the repatriation of freed blacks back to Africa. Many blacks sold themselves to white masters so
they would not have to go to Africa. This was the first effort to gently repatriate free blacks back to Africa. The modern
nations of Sierra Leone and Liberia both originated as colonies of repatriated former black slaves.
However, black slave owners continued to thrive in the United States.
By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By
1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone.
Should Your 'Best Friends' SPY on You?
The NAACP and Joel E. Spingarn
4, 2016 NOI (NATION OF ISLAM) Research Articles 896
Abraham Foxman's (and now Jonathan
Greenblatt's) Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL) was not the first Jewish organization to spy
on Black people and Black organizations. Joel E. Spingarn (1875-1939) was the first chairman of the board
of directors of the NAACP and he held that position for many years. The coveted Spingarn Medal,
given yearly by the NAACP, was established by him in 1914.
The last four "winners":
Blacks may wish to rethink accepting the Spingarn Medal from now on. Spingarn was a spy for the United States Army,
which was focused on destroying Black progress in America. Spingarn was hired in May of 1918 and given the rank of major
in the Military Intelligence Division (MID). Spingarn ran "a small unit of undercover agents" who were
looking for "proof of subversion." The MID opened 100,000 pieces of mail a week and monitored Black publications.
According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal: "The documents show Spingarn, who remained NAACP chairman
during his tenure at MID, used his post to obtain critical information for MID, such as a list of the organization's
32,000 members."
With this knowledge it is much easier to see how under Spingarn the NAACP became the
greatest enemy of progressive Black organizations. Spingarn's NAACP actually mounted a vicious attack
against the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) led by the Hon. Marcus M. Garvey.
At the time, the UNIA was the largest and strongest Black organization in American history. The NAACP campaigned
using the slogan "GARVEY MUST GO" through the pages of its CRISIS magazine, and it petitioned
the US government to prosecute and deport Garvey!
Of course, the real reason behind the
attack was that Garvey's strong stance on BLACK ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE interfered with the Jewish control over the
Black dollar. Jewish merchants were ubiquitous in ALL the Black neighborhoods of the major Northern cities, and they had
a network of stores throughout the cotton South (like Neiman-Marcus, Sears-Roebuck, Zales, Rich's, and thousands of
smaller stores). Garvey was attacked for his "anti-Semitism" for simply wanting to establish an economic foundation
for Black progress.
SOUND FAMILIAR? It should. FARRAKHAN has been targeted by Jews for the last
30 years for THE VERY SAME REASON.
Joel Spingarn, a Jew, successfully engineered
this black-on-black fratricide from the chairmanship of a "Black organization" set up by Jews. And THIS Jewish
economic interest is why Jews like Joel Spingarn (and the ADL) get involved and manipulate simple-minded, frightened negro
leaders and push them to target ECONOMICALLY FOCUSED organizations like the Nation of Islam.
We shall overcome—as
soon as we wake up!
Martin Luther King: FBI Files Reveal Jewish Communist Controller, Sex Scandals
US "Civil Rights"
hero and darling of anti-white causes worldwide Martin Luther King was personally directed and controlled by a Jewish US
Communist Party leader, and engaged in drunken sex orgies involving homosexuals, a newly-released top-secret Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI) file has revealed.
(New Observer Online)
FBI file, titled "Martin Luther King, Jr. A Current Analysis" and dated March 12, 1968 was part of 553 files
relating to the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy, released by the US National Archives this week.
Under the heading
"Strong Communist Influence," the FBI report discussed how King's "principal advisor" was a
Jew named Stanley David Levison.
The FBI report said:
Another complicating factor in the picture
is the degree of communist influence on King. One of King's principal advisors is Stanley David Levison. Ostensibly
only a New York City attorney and businessman, Levison is, in fact, a shrewd, dedicated communist. Levison has spent the
major part of his life advancing communist interests.
He has actively involved
himself in fund-raising drives for King, served as his legal counsel in certain-matters, suggested speech material for him,
discussed with King demonstrations in which King was involved, guided him in regard to acceptance or rejection of various
public appearances and speaking, and helped him with mattets related to articles and books King has prepared.
Levison edited most of the chapters of King's new 'book entitled "Where
Do We Go From Here; Chaos Or Community?" Levison wrote one chapter of this book and the publisher's representative
complained to King and Levison that it was obvious certain sections of the book were written by different, individuals.
The FBI report
also makes it clear that Levison was the one who effectively controlled all of King's public utterances.
Stanley Levison has told Clarence Jones, another advisor to King, that under no circumstances
should King be permitted to say anything without their approving it. Levison also informed Jones that King is such a slow
thinker he is usually not prepared to make statements without help from someone.
Under the heading
"Subversives Attracted," the FBI report provided further background to Levison, dealing with his formal position
within the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA):
Stanley Levison was attracted to King and SCLC when King gained
national attention. Levison soon developed a close relationship with King and was known in King's group as "Assistant
Chief." In 1961, he was assistant treasurer of SCLC [Southern Christian Leadership Conference].
Prior to joining forces with King, Levison led a double like for the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA). Outwardly he
was a successful businessman but he was also the clandestine fundraiser for the CPUSA. He was entrusted with raising and
handling secret funds for the Party and used some of these funds to finance his own activities.
The reason King enjoyed this close relationship with communists is best explained by the fact that Levison, in
February, 1962, passed the word to Gus Hall, General Secretary, CPUSA, "King is a whole-hearted Marxist who has studied
it (Marxism), believes in it and agrees with it, but because of hi being a minister of religion, does not dare to espouse
it publicly."
The FBI report then goes on to detail the full extent of the CPUSA's involvement in the
"Civil Rights" movement, and of how it was part of their plan to destroy America.
In this regard, the FBI report shows that almost
all of King's advisors, speech writers, organizers, and personal assistants, were specifically recruited from within
the ranks of the CPUSA, often by Levison himself.
The last section of the report deals with King's deviant sexual behavior.
Under the title
"King's Personal Conduct," the report says:
With the funds that he had received from
the Ford Foundation, King held the first of two workshops in Miami, Florida in February 1968, to train Negro ministers in
urban leadership. One Negro minister in attendance later expressed his disgust with the behind-the-scene drinking, fornication,
and homosexuality that went on at the conference. Several Negro and white prostitutes were brought in from the Miami area.
An all-night sex orgy was held with these prostitutes and some of the delegates in attendance.
One room had a large table in it which was filled with whiskey. The two Negro prostitutes were paid $50.00 to put
on a sex show for the entertainment of guests. A variety of sex acts deviating from the normal were observed.
Previous Sexual Experiences
This activity is not new to King and his associates. As early as January.1964, King engaged
in another, two-day, drunken sex orgy in Washington, D. C. Many of those—present engaged in sexual acts, natural as
well as unnatural, for the entertainment of onlookers. When one of the females shied away from engaging in an unnatural
act, King and other of the males present discussed how she was to be taught and initiated in this respect.
Throughout the ensuing years and until this date King has continued to carry on his sexual aberrations secretly,
while holding himself out to public view as a moral leader of religious conviction.
Troubling Legacy of Martin Luther King
David J. Garrow - Standpoint
documents reveal the full extent of the FBI's surveillance of the civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King in the mid-1960s.
They expose in graphic detail the FBI's intense focus on King's extensive extramarital sexual relationships with dozens
of women, and also his presence in a Washington hotel room when a friend, a Baptist minister, allegedly raped one of his
"parishioners", while King "looked on, laughed and offered advice". The FBI's tape recording of that
criminal assault still exists today, resting under court seal in a National Archives vault ... The complete transcripts
and surviving recordings are not due to be released until 2027 ... There is no question that a profoundly painful

I should be ashamed of my Schadenfreude, but I can't stop smiling.
Liz Cheney, whose upstart bid to unseat Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi
sparked a round of warfare in the Republican Party and even within her own family, is dropping out of the Senate primary, sources told CNN late Sunday.
Cheney, the eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, began telling associates of her decision over the weekend and could make an official announcement about the race as early as Monday.
Cheney's surprising decision to jump into the race, an announcement made in a YouTube video last summer, roiled Republican politics in the Wyoming, a state Dick Cheney represented in Congress for five terms before moving up the Republican food chain in Washington.
Enzi was a low-key presence in Washington who was elected in 1996 and, with few blemishes, amassed a conservative voting record in the Senate. He expressed public annoyance at Cheney's decision to mount a primary challenge. A number of his Senate colleagues quickly rallied to his side and pledged support for his re-election bid.
There was little public polling of the race, but two partisan polls released last year showed Enzi with a wide lead, an assessment mostly shared by GOP insiders watching the race.
Cheney's campaign got off to a rocky start.
Her critics labeled her a carpetbagger, noting that she moved to Wyoming only in 2012 after relocating from Virginia. The issue flared in August after the Wyoming media reported that Cheney improperly received a fishing license despite not living in the state for at least a year, as the law requires.
Grabbing even more attention was her very public dispute with her sister, Mary, over the issue of same-sex marriage. Mary Cheney, who is a lesbian, took to Facebook in November to object to Liz's opposition to same-sex marriage, claiming that her sister has previously supported her relationship while saying something very different on the campaign trail.
The dispute prompted their parents to weigh in, saying they were "pained" to see the sisters battle over a private matter in full view of the news media.
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! It couldn't happen to a nicer woman.

FC: INSPECT Find the meaning of inspect through history. By: Marie Howe
1: I- Ideas President Jefferson had an idea for an expedition in America through the Missouri river. It was because they purchased new land, the Louisiana purchase. The people to do that was Lewis and Clark. It was dangerous because they were the first people to do this and nobody knew what was out there. They could have had there journey end many of times from the Indians who lived around there.
2: N-national Geographic | After Louis and Clark went on there journey the people of America started to move west with the Louisiana purchase. The downside to this expansion was mainly for the Indians. They were driven out of there homes because people moving west said they claimed the land they were on. This would cause many conflicts with us and the Indians. President Jefferson would lie about the treaties with the Indians. In 1831 the was the Trail of Tears to try and move the indians out of the land.
3: S-Social New social advantages were beginning to start too. African Americans were just starting to | be recognized as actual people. They got to vote. In the late 1800's the white people started to try and make the Indians like us. Women even got some rights. They could have a job and vote! | Even though all this started happening, there was still bad things. In 1830 the Indian removal act was passed. In 1834 Indian territory was created. Indians weren't known as citizens until about the 1920's.
4: P-Political Politics were as important then as they are now. There were still changes going on though in our government that would effect now. In the era speaking of the president were Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, and Tyler. The struggle of political rights took place in the 1820's and 1830's. People questioned the limits of democracy then. When Jackson was president it came known as the Jackson era; because so many things happened to America then. One of the laws that came into place was that now you have to be 18 or older to vote. Also in the election in 1824 was important too because there was only one party, republican. In the election Johna Adams made Jackson seem like a murderous man. Jacksons people made Adams seem like he kidnapped. First election that was lies.
5: E-Economic From an economic standpoint the world was definitely changing fast. Since people started to move west and America started to finally expand, new inventions were created. New stores were put up. There were trains by 1832 across America so that would make it much easier to transport things. So all those things make money. Factories were being made like crazy too. America was booming and especially from the gold mines of California, people went crazy for it. The downside is that young children mostly worked in theese factories for long hours; about 14 hours. For very little pay. A few mill girl workers made a book called the Lowell Offering about the hard work in mills.
6: C- Cultural People throughout time change fashion and beliefs.Peoples fashion depended on how rich they were and what they did as a job. For example | people who were below or average tended to wear only clothes that would suffice working and day to day things and they may only have one nice thing to wear.What was fashionable for men at the time was if you were 16 and older pants; they usually went up to the waist. and a button up shirt, a white vest and any dark colored overcoat.For women although it was much more elaborate they wore corsets made from sometimes whalebone. The dress style in the 1820's was an empire waist with and elaborate lace design on the bus and hem. Children copied some of this. The style was generally conservative. People stuck by the bible.
7: T-Technological There were very many technological advantages at this time too. New factories meant new inventions. BUt all those inventions | means there has tio be a law in 1790 there was a law passed called the patent which gives the inventor to make money off of the things he makes. | Such as in 1793 Eli Whitney invented the cotton Gin. Which helped all those slaves get the seeds out of cotton. Also in 1814 George Stephenson makes the steam locomotive. This definetly heplrf in the transportation of things.
8: So now you know how INSPECT described the lives and how things worked in the 1800's. The past decisions effect America so much today, even the little things. Such as laws like the patent what would happen to the growth of America is we couldn't do that? | If we didn't get into fights with the Indians; if we didn't push them from there land would we still come across wild theese people living like they used to? If you question your answers then obviously our decisions change what would happen later. Thats what history is for; to learn from our past.
