BOSTON (AP) — Joe Johnson scored 18 points, Andray Blatche had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Boston Celtics 95-83 on Wednesday night after Rajon Rondo was ejected following a fight.
The Celtics point guard was tossed after he shoved Kris Humphries to retaliate for the Nets forward's hard foul against Kevin Garnett. Humphries and Brooklyn forward Gerald Wallace were also ejected for their roles in the second-quarter skirmish.
Garnett had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Paul Pierce added 14 points for Boston. Rondo had three assists before he was kicked out, ending his streak at 37 games with double-digits. That is tied for second-longest in NBA history.
The Nets led by 21 in the second half and never less than nine in the fourth quarter.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington earned its first victory after starting the season with 12 straight losses, getting 19 points from Jordan Crawford to beat Portland.
Washington survived a scoreless 6:47 in the fourth when Crawford hit on a 3-pointer with 2:06 to play, and the Wizards finally took the 84-82 lead on Emeka Okafor's two free throws with 39.1 seconds remaining.
Damian Lillard was called for traveling with 28 seconds left. After Nene was called for an offensive foul, J.J. Hickson missed a jumper with 2.8 seconds to play. The Wizards lost the ball with 0.2 seconds to go, but held on to end the skid.
Nine teams started the season 0-13, and the Wizards were tired of the ridicule they'd been subjected to — locally and nationally — as they crept toward the Nets' NBA record-worst start of 0-18.
THUNDER 120, ROCKETS 98 Continued...
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kevin Durant matched his season high with 37 points, and Oklahoma City beat Houston in James Harden's first game back at Chesapeake Energy Arena since being traded by the Thunder before the season.
Harden scored 17 points, but was limited to 3-for-16 shooting. He had six shots blocked by the Thunder.
Patrick Patterson scored 27 points and Omer Asik had 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead the way for the Rockets, who began the day by attending the funeral of coach Kevin McHale's daughter in Minnesota.
Harden missed his first nine shots, and by the time he made one, the Rockets were down by double digits in the second half. They never got closer than 10 after that.
CHICAGO (AP) — Luol Deng had 22 points and six rebounds to lead Chicago over Dallas.
Five players scored at least 11 points to help the Bulls (7-7) beat the Mavericks for the fourth straight time.
Nate Robinson added 14 points and six assists for Chicago, and fellow reserve Jimmy Butler scored a career-high 13, including 9-of-10 shooting from the free throw line.
Joakim Noah chipped in 13 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three blocks as Chicago avoided its first three-game losing streak at the United Center since dropping five straight in March 2010.
Shawn Marion scored 18 points for Dallas, which shot just 35 percent to lose for the eighth time in 11 games. The Mavericks (7-9), who had won 21 of 27 against Chicago, dropped to 2-6 on the road. Continued...
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Marreese Speights had 18 points and 12 rebounds to help Memphis beat Toronto for its third straight win.
Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph finished with 17 points apiece, while Randolph added 13 rebounds and six assists. Mike Conley had 16 points, going 4 of 5 on 3-pointers, and Rudy Gay added 14 as the Grizzlies maintained the best record in the NBA (11-2).
DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with 16 points, while Kyle Lowry and Jose Calderon scored 12 apiece. Linas Kleiza added 11 points, but was 5 of 15 from the field, as Toronto lost its sixth straight.
The Raptors played without Andrea Bargnani, their second-leading scorer, who sat out after hurting his left ankle in Tuesday night's loss at Houston.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points to lead New York past Milwaukee.
Anthony, who sat out the fourth quarter, was 9 of 18 from the floor and also grabbed eight rebounds in 30 minutes. The second-leading scorer in the NBA has scored at least 29 points in his last four games, including 35 points and 13 rebounds in a 96-89 overtime loss at Brooklyn on Monday.
New York's Steve Novak added 19 points and Tyson Chandler chipped in with 17 points and eight rebounds for the Knicks, who snapped a three-game road losing streak.
Jason Kidd missed his second game in a row for New York with lower back spasms. Continued...
Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings and Beno Udrih each scored 18 points. The Bucks have lost four of their last five.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Brandon Knight and Charlie Villanueva scored 19 points apiece, and Detroit routed Phoenix to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Detroit is 5-3 since opening 0-8. The Pistons led 55-44 at halftime and then broke the game open when the Suns came unglued in the third quarter. Phoenix picked up four technical fouls in the third and trailed by as many as 44 in the fourth.
Rodney Stuckey added 18 points for Detroit. Kyle Singler and Tayshaun Prince contributed 12 each, and Greg Monroe had nine points and eight rebounds.
Luis Scola scored 11 points for the Suns.
The Pistons avenged a 92-89 loss at Phoenix in early November.
ATLANTA (AP) — Al Horford scored 17 points and hit two clinching free throws to help Atlanta beat Charlotte for its sixth straight victory.
Josh Smith and Lou Williams also had 17 points apiece for the Hawks.
Ben Gordon finished with 26 points and Ramon Sessions had 18 to lead Charlotte, which has lost two straight and three of four.
Gordon's straightaway 3-pointer with 29.1 seconds remaining cut Atlanta's lead to 92-91. The Bobcats got the ball back, but Sessions' inbounds pass from the left sideline was ruled a turnover after the officials watched replays and concluded neither Gordon nor Smith touched the ball, which bounced out of bounds on the other side of the court with 5.2 seconds to go.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Manu Ginobili had 20 points, Gary Neal scored 19 and San Antonio raced past Orlando for its fifth straight win.
Tim Duncan added 15 points in 27 minutes and Tony Parker chipped in 14 points and eight assists.
The Spurs also posted their eighth consecutive victory on the road and have now beaten the Magic in five of their last six meetings.
Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 16 points, followed by Jameer Nelson with 14. The Magic struggled from the field, connecting on just two of their 15 3-point attempts.
Orlando has lost two straight and concludes its season-high, five-game homestand Friday against Brooklyn.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Al Jefferson had 19 points, Marvin Williams scored 16 before leaving with concussion symptoms and Utah won its second straight game by defeating New Orleans.
Paul Millsap scored nine of his 16 points during a dominant third quarter for Utah, and Gordon Hayward had 13 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter to help the Jazz overcome one last New Orleans surge.
Robin Lopez and Greivis Vasquez each scored 18 points for New Orleans, which has lost eight of nine. Brian Roberts added 11 points. But the Hornets, who defeated Utah in an earlier meeting this season, struggled from 3-point range this time, going 5 of 21.
Utah was a disciplined 6 of 11 from deep.

"Great Location, Great Service, Great Hotel!"
I stayed a full week at this hotel while starting a new job in San Francisco. It is exactly one mile from the closest BART station (10 minute drive with stoplights) and conveniently a half mile from two large grocery stores. (for commuters: the BART ride from Concord to downtown SF is approx 45 minutes). My ground-level room was very large and comfortable. […] It had a kitchen, walk-in closet, and studio/bedroom complete with a dining nook. Above standard kitchen amenities were provided -- coffee maker, stove, microwave oven, and a fridge! All were in excellent working condition and very clean. The studio/bedroom was comfortable - the mattress was a bit firm but the pillows were all new and super fluffy. It also had great wall-heater that blew very hard and kept me warm all night. The bathroom was very clean and stocked with multiple bar soaps (note: no shampoo/conditioner provided). The shower had great water pressure and gave very hot water in the mornings and at night. There were only two things I didn't like about this hotel: (1) My room faced Montgomery St, which becomes quite noisy beginning around 4:00AM -- light sleepers should request a room away from the street. (2) The wireless internet is shared by all people in the hotel and therefore mostly unusable -- business travelers and students beware. Overall, this hotel was a great choice and I would recommend it to anybody, budget-minded or otherwise. It will be my first choice the next time I stay in Concord.

"The price is good"
I saw this hotel online, and I finally pick it coz the reviews are okay, and it's a studio, I had never live in a studio before. However, after I check in, I was disappointed firstly because the faucet in the bathroom broken, I didn't shower through out my staying. Second, I really can't figure out how to turn on the refrigerate, TV as well. But the […] price is relatively lower in its area. So, if u really care about the price, it's okay for u.

"Two Queens, Hold the Water!"
Recently I stayed at the Studio 6 in Concord. Last minute booking for 2 Queen beds, . The male that served me spoke limited English, and I don't think he understand it either. Difficult to get directions to room Vending machines, were out of order. The room was large and looked like it had been remodeled. Combination Pergo and tile in room.comfortable,modern […] decorated - browns, lime green -a apartment size frig, 2 burner stove, counter, sink, table and chairs, flat screen and a chair with an ottoman. There was a balcony with glass sliding doors that was nice. The queen beds had 2 smaller than standard size pillows.. Had I checked in earlier and been able to speak to someone that was better in English I would have asked for more pillows. The bathroom- large walk in closet, sink area and separate shower toilet area. Basic towels and soap, no shampoo or extras, The shower was difficult to work, I could not get any pressure and than it took forever to shut off. Not Impressed- basically useless. My traveling companion just past on having a shower I could not get one of the keys to work and when I asked for another one, I had same communication problems, waited 10 minutes for another key and it would not work either. During check out was asked by owner/manager (unsure of his status) about my stay. When I told him about the shower he wanted to argue. I would not stay here again- unless I checked the shower in my room and would be able to get a room where I knew the shower worked.

"Dont stay here!"
I would never stay here again. It's dirty. The rooms looked like they haven't been vacuumed in a very long time. They were mini apartments or homes for people who couldn't get an apartment to live in. One of the rooms none of the lights worked. I was very worried that our car wasn't going to be there in the morning. Yes its cheap but it still should […] be clean! DON'T STAY HERE! Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com
Very disappointed with this stay here. I reserved a non-smoking room and was giving a smoking room I confronted the front desk about this issue and was told that isn't a smoking room when it clearly was cause there was an ash tray in there. The manager then told me he can spray the room to make it smell better. I asked is there a different room he repiled […] there isn't anything else. Then to make matters even less comfortable upon check-in I had to wait for 45 mins for the room to be cleaned it was 4:30pm. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

"Experience could have been much better...."
I liked the size of the room, the location of the hotel, and the speed of the internet connectivity. Unfortunately my wife and I didn't like the hotel service. The coffee maker had issues, the iron was bad, the room was not cleaned when it was supposed to be. At times the front desk could have been more helpful/responsive to our concerns and requests. […] I'm usually a pretty easy-going guy and let some things slide, but I'm pretty sure I will not be staying there again. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

"Concord Inn and Suites"
this was the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in, with the worst front desk mgr. Requested a King non smoking and was given a 2 queen smoking. The desk mgr said no, I asked why were there two ashtrays by tthe bed. Cigarette burns on the furniture, and curtains falling off the rod. NOT A NICE PLACE AT ALL. A motel 6 would have been better and I will probably […] start using them instead. it was really a disaster. And your customer service rep told me it was a 4/5 for cleanliness. I was afraid to shower or put my feet down on carpet or floor. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com
We asked for a non-smoking room and the room we received smelled like people had been smoking cigarettes in their everyday for several years. We bought scented candles to try and kill some of the smell, but the cigarette smell over powered the candles. The room had not been properly cleaned, the floor was not clean, and behind one of the night stands […] was food and garbage.

The room was ugly, beds uncomfortable and no complimentary bfast. There was no shampoo in the room and the coffee maker had a huge bowl for the water but the packet was only for 4 cups.

"Long Term Residency Hotel, Not for out of towners."
This is the kind of hotel where the management lives on staff and functions more like an apt complex with long term residents. AKA, this hotel caters to the homeless clientele in this community. It is not well kept, unclean, staff are not hospitable. I chose it because it was close to the location where my business trip was centered. It wasn't within […] walking distance of any BART stations. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

Convenient, close to lots of restaurants, mall, and freeway. Formerly a Comfort Inn and Suites. Good value in an iffy neighborhood.

Senior home converted to trash. This is NOT a Suite! Do not get fooled by the pictures. Nothing has window or door screens. One room was completely missing all the stuff hanging on the walls, but still had the anchors.Had 7 TV channels. 80% of all lighting was off in and around the building. Creepy! The extra room (Suite remember?) had no TV. 1 sink […] in bathroom only. Internet never worked. My buddy wanted coffee in the morning besides the maker in the room. Nope! Kitchenette?

"Concord Inn & Suites"
I've stayed at this hotel a number of times for business. It's conveniently located on the bus route. This stay was the worst. There's now no Continental Breakfast. I had to change rooms because the first one was next to the HVAC room and the mini-fridge made a racket, so I couldn't sleep. Also, the TV remote didn't work properly. The next room was […] quiet for 1 night, then the guests upstairs were noisy after the10pm quiet time the next 2 nights. The desk manager had to ask them to quiet down. The TV color was off, purple people. The shower drain was slow. Essentially, the hotel rooms are not well maintained. Not a 2 star hotel. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

pyReScene is a tool that recreates original RARs by backing up the metadata. It is a port of ReScene .NET to Python. It provides a mechanism for backing up and restoring the metadata from "scene" released RAR files. RAR archive volumes are rebuilt using the stored metadata in the SRR file and the files extracted from the RAR archive. pyReScene consists of multiple related tools: pyReScene Auto to create a complete SRR with one simple command, pyReSample to recreate sample files, and pyReScene Usenet to create SRR files on the fly from Usenet postings. Lots of other small scripts for managing SRR and SRS files are available too.
Backshift is a deduplicating (variable-sized, content-based blocks), compressing (xz or bz2) backup program. Full saves and incrementals are pretty indistinct other than the amount of data transmitted, somewhat like with "rsync --link-dest" but without the huge number of hardlinks. It also de-duplicates large file content at a granularity of about 2 megabytes on average; there tends to be a unique copy of each file with size less than around 2 megabytes on average.
nyu is a combination of modern academic approaches to parsing formal grammars from PEGs and expression grammars that represents the new state of the art in parser generators. nyu grammars are written in a powerful language based on PEGs (parsing expression grammars) but with modifications to allow both the AST and the parser to be specified intuitively in a single grammar. nyu outputs parsers that take advantage of the chilon::parser meta-programming library for C++. The generated parsers are almost as concise and readable as the input grammars, yet perform as well as hand-written C code. nyu ASTs are built using tuples, variant types, and lists, and allow self referential parsers and AST nodes to be manipulated. Advanced features such as hashed containers and grammar inheritance are also possible and well tested. nyu is currently powerful enough to deal with complex grammars and bootstraps its own parser.
chilon::parser provides an extended PEG-like language using C++0x template meta-programming. This PEG-based language has been extended to support AST building features directly embedded into the type system. chilon::parser uses the input PEG to create the AST type at compile time using tuples, vectors, variants, custom classes, ranges, and primitive types. The AST is populated by parsers generated from the same type description at run-time.

Contemporary Aboriginal Art
My name is Chern'ee Sutton, I am 16 years old and I am a contemporary Indigenous artist with family links to the Kalkadoon people from the Mt.Isa area in Queensland, Australia.
I started painting when I was 13 years old and I paint mostly on canvas using acrylic and raised acrylic paints. I am very passionate about my families' culture and history and wish to share this with the rest of the world.
I have 2 paintings hanging in Queensland's Parliament House, one hanging in Queensland's State Library, a painting hanging in the Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs office and a painting hanging in the Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurers office and have worked with several Government Departments across Queensland.
I believe we are all created equal and should all be treated with the same respect that we wish for ourselves and families.
I love the feeling I get when I donate and can help those in need and I also think "Just imagine our world if everyone gave a little something".

It's fun but hard to do when your woman has a big latin ass.
If you want your partner to try new things but you're afraid to ask try this Andriod game. Loads of fun.
Butler Sex PositionThe Butler is Forbidden Fruit stood up. However, it is not quite as intimate and sensual a position as the receiver is not as totally exposed to the giver. It is nonetheless very pleasurable! The receiving partner stands while their partner kneels behind and between their legs. The position is particularly suited to analingus and other anal play.

First time
I did this position for the first time with a girl who was a little heavier. She had a beautiful face but had some extra weight. I had been single for a while and suffering from dangerous sperm backup levels. A bunch of us were at the bar and she was a friend who used to work at the same place I did. At the end of the night her and a few people headed back to my house. After the other two left, we played some pool and started flirting with each other and exchanged a few kisses. She started talking shit and told me I couldn't beat her at pool. If I won she would suck my dick, but the catch was, If i lost she got to pick something for me to do to her. I agreed and she ended up winning. She said I had to give her head since she won but first I had to kiss her big ass. She stripped down naked and bent over putting her ass in my face. I was so horny by this point I just buried my face in her ass and let her rub her ass all over my face. After she finished rubbing her ass on my face she stepped away and said I had to pay off my bet. I told her just to bend over the bed and I buried my face in her ass and started eating her pussy in this position. The feeling of her ass cheeks bouncing against my face felt so good. I finished her off and she said I would get my chance for revenge in the morning. We went to bed and I'll admit, I woke up in the middle of the night looked at her laying there in her underwear and just buried my face right in her pussy in the middle of the night. We spent the rest of the weekend betting on different things between poker, pool, and darts with all of them having sexual consequences. I think by the end of the weekend I tried most of these position but this was probably my favorite, especially the second time we did it and she sat on a plate of whipped cream before I went in.
Thu, 07/26/2012 - 08:29
I need to go to the bar & find a guy like uu! ;D
Sat, 11/24/2012 - 02:53

This Position
My girl does not like anal and will never try it, yet she wants to try this position so bad! I don't understand. I think she just wants me to eat her out and not touch that region at all. What should I do? What if she likes me licking her ass, should I ask her about anal?
Sat, 09/01/2012 - 10:44
Same Boat
I only get to do her in the ass when we are both really hony and vage is not an opposition. I want to try this an my mrs does to. I guess we could only warn them what they could be in for. And If they like it well I guess we are in or at lest licking. LOL
Fri, 06/08/2012 - 20:31

Mon, 05/16/2011 - 12:01
WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE SURELY HE KNEW THIS COULD HAPPEN Yeah i've had this happen to me in the past but to be truthful i still went on i love it not the farting part but licking out a woman is the best if your guy is put off by what happened then i got to ask DID HE NOT REALISE THIS COULD HAPPEN IF A WOMAN ENJOYS HERSELF TO MUCH ITS A LOSS OF BODILY FUNTIONS MATE TRUST ME THE REWARDS ARE FAR GREATER SO GET STUCK IN MATE

i would love to try this
i would love to try this position and get my bf to lick my ass..i love anal play but he isnt into any anal stuff..any suggestions on how to change his mind?
Fri, 03/18/2011 - 02:51
Tell him that you kinda like
Tell him that you kinda like the idea of him gently licking you ass, and judge his reaction. It might be a good idea to see if he would be interested in trying it while you shower together that way he (or you) can wash everything and that might loosen him up a bit. As well to sweeten the deal you can try some edible lotions to make everything smell and taste quite delicious ;). And if you really want to spark his interest tell him you would be willing to do him a sexual favor ;) good luck
Sun, 03/20/2011 - 02:42
well, thanks for your help,
well, thanks for your help, i tried talking to him about it and he said he just doesn't feel comfortable with it so i guess i'll just have to deal with it..thanks anyways
Thu, 05/05/2011 - 22:06

you should ask yourself why
you should ask yourself why is he not into it i could be a smell or something like that is why he might not want to travel down that road ask him why he want do that for you and if all else fells i would be glad too help you
Mon, 02/14/2011 - 16:51
This would not be a position
This would not be a position that would interest me. And anal sex is something that I simply am not interested in.
Thu, 01/20/2011 - 21:15
Dont get it
i just cant get why my bf wants 2 do this. but judging by every1s reactions...i guess ppl really like it...so ill go for it...i guess.
Wed, 08/24/2011 - 16:07
Tonguing Anal
It may seem wrong but believe me it is fantastic especially after you have taken her from the rear and then lick and suck her clean. Try it once and I guarantee you that you will want more. It's the next best thing to 'Apple Pie'.
Fri, 12/31/2010 - 01:12
Oh, I love this
Oh, I love this position...
Wed, 12/15/2010 - 15:22
It looks like the girl is either rubbing herself or using a bullet vibrator whilst she's being licked out. I would love to try this. Girls PM me.
Mon, 08/30/2010 - 23:42
This Is 1 of my favorite I get to lick my girl's Ass&spank her butt while teasing her clit too and I love it when she start cumming and I lick her sweetness
Mon, 08/23/2010 - 04:45

Fri, 12/10/2010 - 01:35
Wed, 06/23/2010 - 13:31
Not for everyone...
i wouldn't perform this on a woman whose habits i didn't know.. but on a gf or wife, hell yeah... if you know you have a hot nite cuming up try fasting, also nothing beats a clean hot shower before during and after sex/anal play. the benefits of doing this and other positions similar to the butler will blow your mind. squeamish but still curious? try it w/ a condom or a new out of the package party balloon
Thu, 06/10/2010 - 04:31
god i love when my ass gets licked! so damnnnn goooood.
Mon, 06/14/2010 - 03:59

Thu, 06/10/2010 - 21:47

Tue, 06/01/2010 - 12:08
the woman can bend forward
the woman can bend forward more too - say over a table - in order to fully expose her soaked pussy.
Mon, 05/10/2010 - 21:54

The romantic Holmö
Materials: Holmö floor lamp, two types of fabric and my sewing machine
Description: I had a broken Holmö floor lamp from Ikea, the paper was torn by the kids playing and was looking awful ind my living room. I had spent months looking for at new lamp in a different design (WITHOUT paper) but simply couldn't find one matching my furniture and style like the model of this one.
I do a lot of DIY projects in my home and use my sewing machine on a regular basis so I figured out it should be possible to recreate the shade somehow. So out in the fabric store I found myself some grey cotton and some beautiful grey lace. I went home, tore the broken paper of the two round metal pieces that were supporting the shade in top and bottom.
Measured out the fabrics and cut the two different fabrics in the same size.
Then I made a seam down the body of the shade and sewed the round metal pieces into the shade in the top and bottom.
Installed the shade back on the lamp, took a grey satin band and tied it around the top, finished it with a bow, and voila, the most beautiful lamp I have ever had :) (the picture is unfortunately not shown with its satinband and bow, it makes a big difference)

Hope You are careful and the shade doesn't catch on fire from the heat from the light bulb. Cotton can burn pretty easy.

Beautiful lampshade Charlotte! I've wondered about doing just what you've done as the paper doesn't do much for me.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 25, 2013 3:49 AM
I too have been thinking of doing this same hack once we finish our lounge. is it true cotton is not appropriate as it burns easy? I like the lace effect, and the colour
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 26, 2013 12:30 PM
When I was a kid, I made forts to hide under, all around my room by connecting tee shirts and blankets. The tee's caught on fire from a lamp that I was using inside the fort...It was about a foot below the shirts/blankets.
So I'm almost positive the day will come when this sucker gets a giant hole burned in it. But lightbulbs have come along way since I was a kid, so maybe it'll be a lot safer. Good luck! - AnonymousApril 27, 2013 7:01 AM
I've been looking on some other websites and they've added a tracing sheet under the cotton. They say it prevents burning the fabric and also spreads the light more evenly.

Rate the Unit, Day 26: WENDY!
Posted 29 March 2012 - 06:22 AM
- Ratings are assumed to be on Hard Mode.
- Votes need some explanation regarding their gameplay performance to be counted. If somebody else said what you want to already, quote them explicitly.
+/- ≤1 point extra regarding personality/appearance is encouraged, but no more. If you exercise your bias privileges, please do so explicitly.
- Numerical votes out of 10, or something proportional to it. Make it easy to calculate for my sake.
- Every ranking phase ends whenever I get out of bed, between 0700 and 0800 EST. Do the math for your timezone, Brits.
- I will insist you do not use the "Not X" reason on any character, where X is another unit. If you do, your vote will be thrown out.
- Characters should be rated for their performance on all possible routes (A/B / Sacae/Ilia) but should not be penalized for routes they physically cannot exist on (z.B Juno in Sacae).
- "Recruits X" or "takes you to X chapter" arguments are explicitly banned. C'mon, people, this shouldn't need to be a rule. That's not gameplay performance.
- I withhold the privilege to tell you your rating is bogus and demand you revise it if it breaks any of the above. I will not throw out votes anonymously, you will be informed and given a chance to revise.
Bors: 1.14
Barth: 2.07
Wolt: 2.16
Ward: 2.61
Dorothy: 3.17
Lilina: 3.53
Merlinus: 3.53
Roy: 3.54
Treck: 4.66
Oujay: 4.80
Lot: 5.40
Sue: 5.64
Ellen: 5.73
Lugh: 5.98
Noah: 6.13
Chad: 6.42
Astohl: 7.17
Saul: 7.18
Zealot: 7.56
Clarine: 7.78
Dieck: 7.94
Thany: 8.01
Alan: 8.52
Lance: 8.59
Marcus: 8.77
Rutger: 9.61
On this day, 10 years ago, Sword of Seals was launched. Does a more fitting day to rate Wendy exist?
Also it's LUKA'S BIRTHDAY and this was irresistible.
side note: bullshit vote that i decided to keep left oujay > treck. what the hell
Posted 29 March 2012 - 06:30 AM
Because she's so pitiful... This is a perfect time to use this.
0/10 (With all due respect, I'd actually go for a negative rating if possible, but as that wouldn't be allowed, a 0 is the next best thing.)

Bases so poor that Nino looks mighty usable
No con, no defense, no anything
And can you believe someone requested I make her a 'Trainee' unit for my hack?
I refuse to give her a flat 0 because that's just who I am

Posted 29 March 2012 - 06:55 AM
Anyway, do I seriously need to elaborate on this one?
Low level, bad bases, bad joining situation, bad class. And bad growths just in case you are masochistic enough to actually use her. The only reason she is not the bottom of the barrel is that Sophia exist.

Yet one day, I was proven wrong.
But Grandjackal wasn't the only person to hype Wendy up into something that's supposedly "beautiful". Lest we not forget our best friend, Inui, who even attempted to completely justify Wendy and her "awesomeness".
Which means Sophia is the worst, which whatever - arguable, but no one cares.If you are under the impression that I view Wendy as anything but the second worst unit in the game, you are mistaken.
Also you guys assumed too much stuff and misinterpreted me, which made this annoying.
Edit: I just had Wendy gain one level as soon as she joined. Zealot didn't one-round the loldier with a hand axe, then it attacked Wendy as soon as she came out, and it died. Oujay lured in the Archer, Marcus hit it and didn't kill it, and then Wendy killed it. HOW CAN YOU EVER DO THAT WITH SOPHIA!? I don't understand, lol.
If she misses that Mage, she dies, and the kill needs to be set up for her. Wendy doesn't need kills set up. She can putz around and poke things since she has Hit that is over 50.
Wendy actually can be leveled to promotion. Sophia can't because she can't hit things and dies instantly from anything.
Why can't she be rescued and then dropped like everyone else? Also, she can fight the enemies to the left or something. Merc and a Myrm she can actually hit. Then she can just catch up eventually or never. Thany can get her. Whatever. The point is, she can gain EXP, Sophia can't.
There is none. Wendy is horrible.
My point, as it has been from the start, is that Wendy can gain EXP and Sophia can't, at least nowhere near reliably at all. Sophia needs to fight to get to 10/0 before promoting. How does she do this?
Okay, cherry-picking and maybe slight strawmans, but I never understood why people love to argue Wendy vs. Sophia. It's like taking two bricks, smashing them against your head, and attempting to determine which one hurts more. FFS, Treck vs. Sophia had more legitimacy and (minor) entertainment value than the clusterfuck the former argument had.In the next chapter, there are Mercs. Even if the Mercs are rockin' 30 Evd, she has 46 Hit with a Javelin. Just tossing Javelins here and there and poking things with Slim/Iron like loldiers and Archers lets her gain EXP and weapon levels. She can eventually use an Axereaver.
There was also our good friend Trueblade, who posted this in the FE6 Tier List.
Also a random note... I didn't realize bblader made a return one day. Hmm... hopefully we can let the whole "bygones be bygones"? Who knows.The 2nd person of the class group you get is often the best of the set, but there are always abnormalities. In order of superiority in the common class trios and duos or more in FE6:
Percival>Marcus>Zealot (Yes, Marcus is SECOND! Zealot is pretty much Sigurd, as in good starting stats, but ATROCIOUS growths)
Dieck>Oujay>Echidna (of course, Echidna's best in axes, but she's still a hero)
Thany>Tate>Yuno (In my opinion, Yuno should NEVER be used)
Chad>Astol>Cath (Graded in dodge rate and ability to take a hit. Cath is best in the 1st, and Astol is best in the 2nd, but Chad has both in between)
Lilina>Lugh>Hugh (Hugh would be 2nd if not for his variable starting stats)
Clarine>Cecilia (FTLOG, Cecilia starts in a DESERT FOW LEVEL!!!)
Karel>Fir>Rutger (Karel is a Gotoh that gets an addition to all stats upon level up, so that makes him an automatic 1st)
Sophia>Ray>Niime (Sophia's an Est, meaning automatic 1st)
Miledy>Zeiss (Miledy is balanced, while Zeiss is a winged General)
I don't think I need to really state more with this rating. Terrible unit, terrible growths, terrible bases, terrible class, terrible weapon ranks, terrible join time. Anyone who rates her above a 1/10 has to be an obnoxious dumb ass. I'm sorry, but I only speak the truth here. I would even dock her a point if I could... but she's already at a 0/10 and I don't think negative scores work so well.
0/10. Arguably the worst Fire Emblem character in the series.

But the truth hurts. You know what else hurts? Anything that attacks Wendy. For a class whose entire deal is "takes hits," not being able to do that is already a massive failure of role. Her base SPD is 3, her base HP is 19, her base DEF is 8. That means it takes a whopping 10 net Mt and 7 SPD to ORKO her. This is hardly an impossible feat, even for GBA-era enemies, especially in FE6 HM. She does get a little better... but only a little, and only if she gets every level she can, because an early promote just makes her that much more of a joke. And she won't gain any levels, because she's lance-locked, has 4 base STR and 3 base SKL, and her crap-ass durability.
If she were some kind of more balanced SPD/RES tank she might have a minor niche over Barth and Bors, but she can't even do that right; her RES is just as terrible as theirs and goes nowhere fast. She's almost impossible to raise, actively detrimental and endangered on her own forced map, and even if you do stick with her, you end up with a mediocre unit that has no movement.
0/10 is the only fair thing I can give her. I suppose you could try to argue Sophia is worse, but at least Sophia's not pretending to be a class that's supposed to be durable. You expect a girl in full plate armor to be able to eat a couple arrows.

I don't even need to describe this atrocity.
She's just shit in HM, and shit in NM.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 07:47 AM
Her bases are absolutely atrocioius. 8Def is on par with base Treck, and he comes with a horse, joins a chapter earlier, and has better stats in everything else. And yet, her class is supposed to be tankin'. It may be her non-hp best base stat, but that's not saying much as every one of her bases is absolutely shit. Her growths are mediocre, while they're fairly average by FE6's standards, they are not helping her get out of that rut any time soon. It doesn't help that she has 4 move, either, so she can't even keep up. On top of that, she can't even hit the fuckers accurately.
I've tried training her once. It was an all-girls playthrough and by my own arbitrary rules I had to use every female unit at least at some point. So maaaaaybe Wendy could be useful, since at that point I didn't have many combat units? WRONG. I painstakingly trained her to 10/2 and it was the biggest waste of a crest ever (although, at least she was the only female crest user so eh). Lilina, whom I trained alongside her, was twice easier. That should be saying something. It was full of pain, and even as a growth unit if you baby her to death, she's not worth it.
Wendy, I really like you as a character. I like how you are the first female captain of an Ostian AK squad, and that's pretty cool in my books. But why do you just suck so fucking much?
0/10. +.5 bias. Would be 1 bias usually on character but the pain it took me to get her to 10/2 takes that down half a point.

It's called "spend as many turns as needed on chapter 8 to get Wendy to level 20, promote her, then treat her like another Jeigan". She actually turns out not terrible. Decent, even.
I guess it's a 1/10 if you only accept non-absurd styles.

Habitat: grassland, scrub
Flowering: summer
Height: 20 cm
Width: 20 cm
Soil: with grit and humus
The flowers of incarvilleas are large for the size of the plant, and brightly coloured. They are widely flared trumpets, a few to each short stem, in the wild appearing in the summer rain after a dry spring. A few species are shrubby, with more flowers to each stem, but smaller.
Incarvillea forrestii is a species with deep pink flowers, and rather smaller leaves than others.Incarvillea delavayi has rosettes of mid green leaves, divided into lance shaped coarsely toothed leaflets and up to 10 gloriously large widely trumpet shaped, yellow throated, rose pink to purple flowers. Originally from Yunnan in China. | ||
Incarvillea delavayi SDR4711 is an easy species with quite tall, upright stems, which have several of the very large, bright pink flowers. | ||
Incarvillea grandiflora has flowers which are usually solitary, but larger than those of the species. Its habit is also shorter than other Incarvillea, with a scanty rosette of leaves with only 1 or 2 pairs of leaflets. This variety has superb large deep crimson pink trumpet shaped flowers with a yellow tube and handsome white blotches on the throat. | ||
Incarvillea himalayensis 'Frank Ludlow' is a particularly fine form of a species that is closely related to Incarvillea mairei, with large (up to 8 cm across) flowers, reddish pink with a white throat to the trumpet, and two white flares at the pase of each corolla lobe. It is one of two excellent introductions of the species from one of Sherriff and Ludlow's expeditions. | ||
Incarvillea lutea is a fantastic plant, but very rarely seen in cultivation. It is a robust perennial, with tall stems packed with very large, pale yellow, trumpet-shaped flower, deeper yellow within. | ||
Incarvillea mairei has strong reddish pink flowers with a white and yellow throat, a few of the large flowers on each stem, very close to the ground in relation to their large size. | ||
Incarvillea mairei SDR4336 is an easy species to grow, with short stems, barely able to keep the huge trumpet flowers off the ground. This collection is from a meadow with almost pure limestone soil. | ||
Incarvillea mairei SDR6732 has strong reddish pink flowers with a white and yellow throat, a few of the large flowers on each stem, very close to the ground in relation to their large size. From a high-altitude meadow close to a lake. | ||
Incarvillea zhongdianensis white-flowered comes from a white-flowered parent, but seedlings cannot be guaranteed to be white themselves. The flowers, one or two per stem and very large, trumpet-shaped, are held on short stems, barely above the ground. |

On Monday night, cameras flashed, hugs were exchanged, and everyone congratulated the External Advisory Committee on School Choice on its selection of a new student assignment plan for the Boston Public Schools. Based in both family address and school MCAS performance, the assignment model answers the call for "quality schools, close to home."
Or does it? Driving to my house after the Beacon Hill meeting, through Chinatown, the South End, Roxbury, and finally to Jamaica Plain, I worried about children who have no quality schools close to home.
This reads like the Garrity ruling of 1974. The result of that experiment was the segregated system we have today: Low parent participation rates at schools far from home. Middle class flight. METCO flight for the fortunate ones. Blocks where neighboring families are strangers and children don't play together, because they are bused in 17 different directions at a cost of $80 million a year. And, unlike, 1974, Boston's communities today are diverse. But they lack the social capital that springs from community involvement in a shared school.
The solution of a generation ago is not the solution for 21st century Boston.
Community is the very building block of any healthy city.
Certainly a resident of Jamaica Plain can understand that.
Well said, indeed! Thank you for stating the argument for equity so well. Home-Based A gives kids a shot at getting into the good schools closest to their homes, and it neither penalizes nor gives anyone advantage based on their address.
To commenter CCW: The plan doesn't automatically bus kids anywhere. Every child, no matter what, has a chance of attending some of the higher quality schools closest to their homes. The person who designed Home-Based A was trying to balance this value, close-to-home schools, with fairness. Home-Based A does this better than any of the other plans. Exactly what the School Committee does next is crucial: if they leave the walk zone priority in place, then we lose the equity of access that made us all excited about this plan in the first place. If they take the walk zone out, then the plan gets to work as intended.
H. Mann was trumpeting the glory of educating all children when he raised it as the great equalizer. He wasn't talking about busing. Getting rid of the local walk preference sends the wrong message. Modern societies need walkable neighborhoods and we need to erase the idea that the automobile (or the bus) are the answer to all our problems. People naturally segregate. I don't buy the notion that people are stuck in their neighborhoods anymore. If you want a better school, then move. If you are in public housing, then let's move the public housing, or break it up into Section 8 vouchers. This busing of children all over God's creation has got to stop.
This comment has been removed.
One more thing, above I stated that people naturally segregate. Let me add this: People will segregate when they don't have control over outcomes. That's what has been happening for the past twenty years. If the desire is to get more whites to move back into the city, get rid of the busing. Then folks can pick a neighborhood and move to it. The city becomes less segregated over time, eventually integrated.
Well said, neighbor, but I think you're confusing "quality" (as does BPS) with MCAS scores. Let's begin to address the gross inequities in our schools by addressing the gross inequities of our society; perhaps every "low performing" school should include health and welfare services, among other things. There are no simple answers.
I see and agree with Mary's point to an extent, but the gap has been there for decades in the same schools and no or little achievements have been accomplished. This is bigger problem than simply busing and sending these kids to a quality school will do little if the problems at home remain. This is a short-term answer. Education starts at home and I realize poverty plays a big piece. I agree with Amika's comments that the idea of more social services should be explored in the underperforming schools. Please stop wasting all this money on busing or at least cut that expense and direct the money into the schools themselves so the children can experience some beneftis. I also agree with RichStan in that BPS doesn't have the facilities even if they wanted to have all children walk to school. I live in Roslindale (father of three young children) and with all the young kids in Roslindale and West Roxbury, they simply don't have the space. I'll give credit to John Connolly in that the school system has always been the forefront of his campaign. The heart of the community or any organization is children.
"Student assignment alone cannot fix the crushing disparities in our city's schools." That should just read, "Student assignment cannot fix the crushing disparities in our city's schools." Enough already with this endless, pointless discussion. Move on to the real problems and address those. You're just playing into the hands of the Mayor, who thinks a $30 million drop in the bucket (over how many years?) deserves praise when it won't even begin to address the problems in our city's schools.
There are two options here. Either the author is 1. hopelessly naive and a victim of the mystification of race and class in the U.S. or 2. a shill for the right. Either is unbecoming for an educator. Maybe this pap passes for critical social analysis and policy-making at Lesley, but it shouldn't.

Update: Trial Begins for Garland Co. Deputy Arrested in Alleged Sexual Assault of Woman Inmate
By: Lauren Trager, KARK 4 News
Updated: October 9, 2012
A former deputy with the Garland County Sheriff's Office is on trial for the alleged 2011 sexual assault of a woman being held in the county jail.
In today's proceedings, the jury was seated this morning in the case against Garvin Todd Reid, and opening arguments started this afternoon. The trial will continue tomorrow.
Original story (February 8, 2011):
A detention officer in Garland County is accused of sexually assaulting a female inmate. This morning, that deputy pleads not guilty in court.
Already, he has been stripped of his badge and has been fired from the Sheriff's Office.
"It's disheartening to anyone in the Sheriff's office when allegations like this occur," said Sgt. Joel Ware.
Sgt. Joel Ware says he got a call Sunday, an inmate here at the county jail said she had been raped.
Her attacker, she says: detention Deputy Garvin Todd Reid.
"These allegations are serious and inmate or not we are going to take them as such," said Sgt. Ware.
Sgt. Ware says the inmate is allowed out of her cell, trusted to work around the jail.
An arrest affadavit says she was inside this supply room off the jail's break room when, she claims, Deputy Reid came up behind her and raped her.
He only stopped, she says, when someone else came into the breakroom.
"We are not going to tolerate it and actions are going to come swift," said Sgt. Ware.
Reid was arrested almost immediately after the inmate reported the incident to other jail staff.
We went to Reid's listed address Tuesday after he posted bond, but no one answered the door.
"It's a black mark against all law enforcement. And we certainly don't like that, we are just going to have to move forward the best we can and hope that we keep the trust of the public," Sgt. Ware said.
The arrest affidavit says Reid admitted the two did have contact but that the inmate was touching and kissing him.
He did not report this to anyone at the jail though.
Reid had only been a detention officer for about five months.
The Sheriff's Office says they do very thorough background checks on their officers. They say sometimes though, people slip through the cracks.
Reid will next be in court in March and of course, we'll stay on top of it for you.

Parking Lots Stations & Garages in Neosho, MO
Helpful Definition for: Parking Lots Stations & Garages
Parking Lots, Stations in Neosho are designed specifically for automobile parking. Alternately called parking structure, parking ramp, parkade or parking deck, it is a facility with a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place. Parking Garage in Neosho, however, refers only to an indoor, often underground structure. A garage often requires mechanical ventilation or sprinklers.
The movement of vehicles between floors can be effected by interior or exterior ramps, vehicle lifts, and combination systems of ramp and elevator. These parking structures are subjected to the heavy and shifting loads of moving vehicles, and must bear the associated physical stresses associated with them. Automated car parking and modular car parks are other car park facilities in Neosho.
Besides indoor parking, one may also avail of an outdoor parking facility where the charges for parking may be comparatively cheaper.

Reforming Athletics After Penn State Scandal: Opinion
After allegations of misconduct first surfaced in 1998 and later in 2001, along with the vice president with responsibility for campus security Gary Schultz and Athletic Director Tim Curley, these officials "failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade."
In fact, these officials facilitated this abuse by permitting Sandusky, recently convicted of attacking 10 boys, continued use of athletic facilities after he retired from his work at a nonprofit youth organization that he allegedly used to attract and abuse young boys.
According to the Freeh report, the motivation to turn a blind eye was clear and reprehensible. It is "reasonable to conclude that, in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at the University -- Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley -- repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the University's Board of Trustees, the Penn State Community and the public at large."
At many universities, false and corrupting loyalty to football and other marquee sports, reaches deeply into the community, as illustrated by the inaction of Pennsylvania law enforcement. In 1998, a mother accused Sandusky of molesting her son. To the woman, he declined to deny touching the boy's private parts and said "I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness."
Sandusky admitted to the Department of Public Welfare and police investigators other wrongful acts, yet Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar did not prosecute, and saw no reason to use the threat of prosecution to require Sandusky to discontinue his programs for boys.
Universities bend admissions to unbelievable contortions to recruit talented young athletes, and faculties are asked to make special provisions. Alumni and community leaders rationalize that sports permit disadvantaged youth opportunities they would not otherwise enjoy and bring in lots of cash to their alma maters -- but it is simply not worth the corrupting consequences or even profitable to the academic mission of most institutions.

Davenport shocked after dismissal By Brad Monastiere LIFE Staff Writer Expressing shock, CMU women's basketball coach Donita Davenport called the athletic department's actions "classless" after Monday's announcement her contract would not be renewed. After tonight's game at Toledo, Davenport will coach her last regular season game at Rose Arena Saturday night against the Akron Zips. Davenport was notified of the contract decision by Athletic Director Herb Deromedi Thursday afternoon, before last Saturday's home loss to the Ohio Bobcats. Deromedi called her into his office and said the decision was made to not renew her contract and the announcement would be made public Monday. "Did I anticipate this? No," she said. "I understand losing your job because you didn't win." What Davenport did not understand was the circumstances under which the announcement was made. There are two games left in the regular season, tonight at Toledo and Saturday night at home against Akron. The announcement was made public in a CMU press release Monday afternoon. "I am totally shattered at the way it was handled," she said. "To do it with three games left in the season, and to ask the coaches to coach the last throe games, and the players to play the last three games under those conditions is a totally classless act." Deromedi said the reason for the timing was so a new coach could be in place by April 10, when recruits can make official what college they want to attend by signing a national letter of intent. "It's important that anyone who has verbally committed can have the opportunity to go elsewhere if they chose to come here for the See DAVENPORT Page 6 •Assistant Sherry Kelly and Mary Sheltrown are facing uncertain futures following Davenport*a firing.

Flood warning issued for Chippewa River By Nicole Lowe LIFE Staff Writer The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for the Chippewa River, which is expected to reach flood level by this weekend. Between the hours of 4 and 9 p.m. Tuesday the river rose to approximately 8 feet, the National Weather Service reported Tuesday night. "It looks like what's causing the problem here is the thick ice on the river. (The National Weather Service) does not expect any rain tonight. I think that we're pretty close to flood stage," said Deputy Robert David, Mount Pleasant Sheriffs Department. The National Weather Service said to expect a fluctuation of 1- 2 feet of water in the river, leading to flooding. "This happens a lot with melting snow and the rain," said Rob Flynn, director of Parks and Recreation. "The flooding usual- See FLOODING Page 17 Mt. Pleasant drafts ordinance to ban public nudity By Lenny Padilla LIFE Staff Writer Spurred by rumor and public concern, the city of Mount Pleasant has drafted an ordinance to ban public nudity within city limits. City Manager Paul Preston, introduced the proposed ordinance at Monday's City Commission meeting. The proposal was drafted by City Attorney Sue JefTers. The state allows cities and townships to adopt such bans on public nudity. The City Commission sched uled a March 11 public hearing on the ban. "There has been much attention focused on television about an adult book store in Traverse City," said Tony Kulick, director of Planning and Community Development. "It appears that their ordinance didn't prohibit it and the community isn't happy." Kulick said he didn't want the same situation in Mount Pleasant. According to Preston, the proposal was based on similar ordinances passed in other Michigan cities, including Flint. The city has a zoning ordinance on the books severely restricting where establishments that promote public nudity can locate, but does not ban nudity outright. According to Kulick, that ordinance is divided into Groups A and B. Group A regulates the establishment of adult theaters, massage parlors, adult book stores and tattoo parlors. Group B includes such establishments as pool halls and liquor stores. Under the current ordinance, a Group A establishment can only be constructed on commercially zoned land and cannot be built within 1,000 feet of a residential district, church, school, trailer park or public park. Establishments under Group B, must be located at least 500 feet away from those establishments. According to Kulick, there are few sites within the city that meet this criteria, and the land available is privately owned. "We haven't prohibited it, but the property for that kind of thing is not readily available," Kulick said. "It is almost impossible to meet the zoning requirements until you get to north of Pickard Street by the police post," Kulick said. "But that doesn't mean that the land owners will necessarily rent or sell the property to a prospective group." The proposed ordinance defines public nudity as the knowing or intentional display in a public place of any individual's genitals or anus with less than a fully opaque covering; or a female individual's breast with less than a full opaque covering See NUDITY Page 2 Frozen ground postpones repair for outdoor campus lighting By Angela Cook LIFE Staff Writer A few spots around campus without outdoor lights will have to wait for warmer weather before light is restored. Lights along the west side of the Rose Center, the center pole in Lot 15 in back of Barnes Hall, the lights on the north side of the Bovee LTniversity Center and the walkway of Building J at Washington Street Apartments are all without lights, said Dan Lehr, supervisor of the electric shop at Facilities Management. The short lamp posts in front of the Bovee University Center also are out. The problem is occurring because an underground electrical wire has been exposed out side of the building when the ground shifted because of changes in the weather, Lehr said. This problem has occurred in all five areas. Lehr said he does not foresee this to be a major project and expects limited excavation and digging in order to repair the broken wires. Because the ground is frozen, the wires will not be repaired until the end of March, he said. "Its just a matter of finding the conduit and pulling the wire out and replacing the section," Lehr said. Additional lights have not been added to the affected areas because surrounding lights are sufficiently lighting the darkened areas, I^ehr said. "Its not dark by any means," Lehr said. "But there is a noticeable black spot where those lights are out." Ron Williams, associate director of Public Safety, could not comment on whether the lack of lighting posed a danger to students, but said the unrepaired lights posed a problem. "Whether there is a danger or not we want to get them repaired," Williams said. There are more than 1,000 lights campus wide so there will always be lights needing repair, Williams said. "There will always be lights off," Williams said. "But they do work hard at getting them replaced." Song, dance to highlight university's Hispanic Awareness Celebration By Liz Wishaw LIFE Staff Writer Music, food, dancing and culture awareness will highlight the Hispanic Awareness Celebration in March. The theme voted on by the Hispanic Student Organization, "Rooted in the Past, Branching into the Future," leads the celebration through two weeks of events. The festivities start March 11 with an art exhibit of Alex Canelos' drawings and paintings. The exhibit runs until March 23 in the Bovee University Center Multicultural Center Minority social sorority Sigma Lambda Gamma is sponsoring a breast cancer awareness discussion. The event starts at 7 p.m. March 12 in the UC. Sigma Lambda Gamma also will present a movie March 14. The movie and location will be announced. CMU alumnus, Dennis Valdes, is the keynote speaker for the two-week celebration. Valdes, a faculty member of| the University of Minnesota, teaches Chicano studies and history, said Laura Gonzales, director of Minority Affaire. He received hie bachelor's degree from CMU in 1968 and his master's degree in 1970. See HtSP*IMIC Paoe 2

PoliceLink's Law Enforcement Tattoo Showcase

How is a tattoo "unprofessional"? You are just as bad as that couple on the elevator who gave dirty looks to and scooted as far back away from the bearded tattooed man because he looked scary? Really because of tattoos? Little did they know there were never more safe than they were at that very moment standing with a police officer who had previously taken two bullets to save the life of two officers. Yea he worked dope but sometimes our appearance is the nature of the beast. To call him or anyone else unprofessional because he has tattoos is closed minded and quite frankly ignorant. Maybe I think wearing two western style belts and blue jeans trying to bring back the days of Wyatt Earp while on the job is unprofessional. Just saying lets be real guys we do a job that is like no other. Some of us love every day of it. Some of us have found ways we express ourselves, deal with the hurt, the loss. Lets not judge each other on appearance but rather help each other hold that line we so proudly walk day in and day out!
I hate to see fellow officers get inked-up just as much as I do new narcotics officers get earrings or worse. All of it is unprofessional if visible to the public and takes away something from the bearing of the officer.
Some nice ink for sure, my favorites are # 2 and 11 and I'm not at all offended by ink, unless it's offensive.
neck tattoos some how have a different flavor, not preferred..... A great tattoo with meaning, oh yeah I want to see it and know the story behind it, I have plenty of ink myself and it all has deep meaning.
When I need to call a LEO for help, the first thing that doesn't spring to mind is "jeez, I wonder if he/she has tattoos?". I have no issues with tattoos as long as they aren't offensive.
Sorry, but my tattoos are for me, not for other people. I don't really care about other people's tattoos, and I don't really care if people want to see or like mine.
Awww I didn't get on this showcase? I have over ten tattoos :(
While in the academy back in '69 we had a Lt. who instructed a course connecting criminals and tattoos. With the way society has fallen apart in the last forty years it's understandable that police now take up tattoos.
I have no problem with the Tattoos, I have one myself in memory of the Gulf War. It gives me a sense of accomplishment knowing I participated and survived an important event in my life. However, I think in representing Law Enforcement, its better to keep them covered. Nothing Wrong with Tattoos, plan to get another one day, but it will be hidden.
But the artwork is beautiful and so is the sentiment and I respect your right to express that..Just a personal choice on my part
Don't like them, trying to talk my son out of one now..My department never used to allow visible tattoos but they gave up on that with the recent surge..
These are awesome. I love the K9 and St. Michael ones.
I started a group "Cop Ink" with this very idea in mind. WAY TO GO POLICELINK!
Great tat love it
Mine shows on duty. The tattoo debate goes on. Tattoos in today's society have absolutely NO relation to criminal activity! 3 out of 5 people I know have tattoos and they are Accountants, Attorneys (ok, maybe, she is a criminal), a roofer, an electrician, an IT professional, a Teacher, an Imaging Specialist, a Nurse, etc. They all have jobs, most have a spouse and children. Recently, I was at a water park with my kids and my 12 YO observed that about 3-4 out of 7 people there had a tattoo! We as Police represent people from our society. As tattoos become more commonplace - you will see more tattoos on Police! If you DIDN'T then you WOULD have a problem!
I was never allowed a tat and never gave it much taught, after seeing these I want one of my dog ! She's a hero and she is getting old, what a great way to honor & remember her!

I'm not trying to write this much about Macklemore, stories just keep happening. The guy is set to headline the Preakness with Pitbull this weekend and hung out onstage with the Oregon Duck LAST weekend. In two weekends he'll be dating Kate Upton and winning a Most Beautiful Surfing Dog contest or whatever and we'll never be rid of him.
Anyway, the reason we're talking about him today is because he's a loyal resident of Seattle, Washington, and as such, that makes him disdainful of the fine men and women of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Something about a pro basketball team being torn away moments before they became championship contenders, who can say for sure? So what happens when the NEW Sonics try to use the hit song of a guy who loves the OLD Sonics as their pre-game hype music?
