Estelle kicks it with the fellas on Part 1 of her hip-hop remix to "Break My Heart." Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, and Swizz Beatz all pitch in to give the original song new life. The British songbird, who started out as a rapper, spits a few bars over the Swizz-produced beat. Estelle's third album All of Me is due this fall featuring Janelle Monáe, Akon, Common, and Rick Ross.

Rialto Beach
Published on Wed, Aug 27, 2008 by
Richard Olmer
Read More
I am drawn again and again to certain places. Some because they are truly special, some because they are nearby and require not so much effort. Rialto Beach is a place that draws me to it because it nurtures me in a very personal and intimate way. I have seen this beach when it was nearly not there. It was a time when rain and wind and the pounding surf obliterated everything else in the world. I was alone with all the energy of creation. There was "me" and a wild, fierce energy that threatened to destroy me. Yes, I was a fool to be there ... and, yes, it was magical.
I have felt a similar sense when utterly and totally alone on the top of a mountain. I was standing on the edge of nothingness with my eyes closed and feeling a warm breath on the back of my neck ... knowing that I am never alone. I am very much afraid of high places and yet I am totally sure that I am protected and welcomed. I need not fear anything.
Even on a nice summer day when the parking lots are almost filled, it only takes a short walk at Rialto Beach to be apart from everyone else. Once through Hole-in-the-Wall, there are so few people. When the tide comes in and the waves begin to thunder, everyone leaves. In the winter, this place gets so noisy that you cannot hear a friend next to you. A storm is a reason to come, not a reason to stay away. An angry sea can open great vistas of insight and you can be embraced by an invisible spirit that already knows you well. The spirit is always in such places but in sunshine and quiet breezes your mind tends to wander and move to other things. In the storm, you dare not let your mind wander. Rather, you focus and listen and feel with exquisite clarity. You can learn to listen in this way in the sunshine and calm of the everyday.
My wife, Candy, tells me that this was the first time that she had gone past Hole-in-the-Wall and explored the tide pools with sea urchins, anemones and sea stars. There is much to discover here. For some reason, I like to look out at the forgotten pieces of North America that seem to float far out from the shore. They remind me of medieval castles wonderfully protected from attack. Although constantly besieged by angry water and wind, they magically survive. They are hopeful omens and sturdy reminders that the created world lingers with us despite man's constant efforts to explain this creation away.
I think that I can understand the reasons why mechanistic explanations of creation are comfortable to some. Gaseous clouds colliding in space to form matter and life is, however, too much of a stretch for my feeble intellect. Childlike, I look and see and feel and sense a comforting, creative intellect that consciously allowed rock and man to evolve in this lonely corner of an immense universe, as well as other, yet unmet creatures. Out here, seeing the varied forms of life surrounding me, it is hard to imagine that we have the universe to ourselves.
When I come to this place, my mind seems to stretch itself in new and unanticipated directions. As I walk along the cobbled beach, there are always pebbles and stones that call to me to pick them up and examine them and perhaps take them home with me. The infinite variety of the shapes and sizes and twists and turns and colors and textures of driftwood, sand and rock attack my consciousness. The air and feel of sun on my skin create a unique awareness of myself here. I am not in charge here. I am but one small and imperfect part of an immense reality that I am allowed to share time and space with. It is truly a wonderful place.

Robert's Thoughts on Texas State
Why Texas State
The atmosphere here from the moment you step on campus is great. Plus the professors and staff here truly care about your success.
Why International Relations
I love to study different cultures, groups and places. So international studies was a natural fit for me.
Career Goals
I want to work for the FBI or the State Department.
How My Major Will Help Me Reach My Goals
Having a thorough knowledge of how different countries and cultures interact with each other is essential when working for the State Department. With the growth of the counter-intelligence programs in the FBI, having a degree in international relations can be quite valuable.
Favorite Professor
My favorite professor would have to be my economic geography professor,
Brock Brown
. His classes are great in general. Some days you will be laughing in class while others can be serious. He does everything he can to keep your attention and if you don't understand the material he will do whatever it takes to help you. But his tests are not easy, so make sure you learn the material!
Best Studying Advice
I am a fan of group study. Meet the people in your class and get together to study. Also, taking good notes in class does miracles.
My Clubs and Organizations
Student Foundation
Texas State Alumni Association, Student Chapter
Sigma Iota Rho Honor Society for International Studies
Model Organization of American States
Traveling, cooking
Favorite Book
Anything by Tom Clancy
Favorite TV Show
The Closer
Favorite Movie
The Goonies
Favorite Campus Hangout
The rocking chairs on the fourth floor of LBJ Student Center. This is just a place you can sit down and relax. The view of San Marcos and the student center mall is great.
Favorite Campus Dining Hall
The Den is great. It has a little bit of everything and when the weather is warm you can sit outside in the covered breezeway and hang out with friends.
Where to Go for Fun
Texas State
football games
Where to Go to Relax
Float the river.
What I Tell Future Texas State Students
I tell them that here at Texas State you have a name not a number.

Whitey sho is funny.
If I were black, I'd probably have a much more complicated relationship with fried chicken than I actually do (if you can call insatiable all-consuming hunger a "relationship"). Is there no end to the benefits of white priviledge?
I can tell you, it's a bitch. Every time I'm at a damn out door function with food.
"Do I eat the chicken? Do I not eat the chicken? But I want the chicken. I LIKE chicken. Oh shit…do they know I like chicken. Screw it. I'll go with the fish."
Unless it's Catfish. Then I'm SOL.
Ralph Ellison wrote about this dilemma in Invisible Man. "What a group of people we were, I thought. You could cause us the greatest humiliation just by confronting us with something we liked."
Friends Don't Let Friends Photoshop While Racist.
that was rather amazing.
The racism coming from the right fuels their pre-set antagonism to every left wing figure. They'd oppose any democratic president, but with some (not all) the extra spice of racism (and with Pelosi, sexism) pushes them over the edge into crazy land. And of course it can be cynically manipulated, as per the tea party organizers.
What confounds me more was it's manifestation on the left. Not that I thought it was free of racism or anything, far from it, but the insanity of the PUMA contingent was a little reality check of how deep denial of one's true motivations can run. Their reasons for turning away from all their professed political ideals towards any other (white) candidate than Obama grew thinner and thinner and thinner until only "yeah, you're racist" remained. They probably still think they're not racist, or crazy, or both.
Wow, I had forgotten the PUMAs. Like literally, had wiped them from my mind. HOW WEIRD WAS THAT EPISODE OF AMERICA?
I opposed the war in Iraq but couldn't march with the crazies waving Saddam's flag and holding up pictures of the American President as Hitler. No way.
So of course there is principled opposition to the current American President and it's not even partly racist.
But when you peel away any rational argument for the Republitards position (czars, birthers, tea baggers, Addison Graves Wilson and the "illegals" contretemps), then you're dealing with either a political hack who will do anything and say anything to win, or a straight racist or an ignorant bumfuck.
Or all three.
Regardless, this IS about winning, Abe. I suggest you grow a pair and get ready for the assault on the beaches. I'm with Rahm on this one. Open up the flame throwers and scorch the earth until all the Republitards have left are a few congressmen from the deep south and Sarah Palin.
It would be fascinating if the White House went all Rahm on this shit. The end of it might be ugly! But… well, cable news ratings would be huge.
It's already starting. Better get your popcorn.
"Trying to beat back a furor over whether President Obama's centerpiece initiative would subsidize health care for illegal immigrants, liberal supporters of an immigration overhaul on Monday called a main proponent of that claim a "hate group," citing its founder's ties to white supremacists and interest in racist ideas, such as eugenics."
Despite these (warlike?) fantasies the political spectrum is too well matched to have this actually happen. To those who live in heavily blue states ot cities and get all their "right" exposure from… The Awl? TPM? CNN? — it might certainly seem like conservatives are all nutcases, that's hardly the case. Furthermore, your fantasy of putting the right under the knife is made impossible by the dullness of said knife; is it just an accident that the left takes nearly as much corporate money as the right? Money likes it when we're all distracted and upset about whether Perez Hilton should shiv Carrie Prrjan or if a tea party sign is racist or not.
I don't know. It's getting to the point where it's starting to bite back. It's now a moral climate where it's ok to kill people for not believing what you believe in (re:abortion). It's not so long ago AIG employee's were getting death threats.
"Money likes it when we're all distracted"
I agree and I think you'll feel the swing is on. Beck is being boycotted which is going to kill him eventually as his rage cannot be maintained (see the French thing). When the molasses big media start asking ?s like "is it racism" I think the heat is on. Christ, CNN did a whole segment today on racism and that witch doctor image at the rallies. Obama's approval numbers are climbing again. Not that we're all fine. We're not.
As for the abortion thing. Many condemned that AND it was already happening. The abortion debate is a whole other animal that, while somewhat tied to recent events, is a simmering beast that will never die.
I don't know. In my opinion it seems to be a trick of the American right(though it has been used by all extremists since the dawn of time), to create an environment where it is morally correct to murder those who disagree with you by painting them in blackest terms, and making them enemies of the state (in whatever form they currently are). I'm quite certain that those killing abortion doctors would make the case that those Doctors were unamerican, jewish, communist etc as well.
This is about using rhetoric to paint the Republitards as connected to white racism, ignorance, terroristic militia and incompetence. All of that is true and if it takes a "low brow" campaign of simplistic, exaggerated and even misleading propaganda to drive those impressions into the minds of independent voters and secure a progressive majority, then I wholeheartedly endorse it as a noble endeavor.
These wonderful pieces of photomontage aside, racists these days don't even generally think of themselves as racists. Instead they think of themselves as (bizarrely) victims of racism.
I love it when folks in the aforementioned camp level the charge of "that's just reverse racism". There's no such thing as "reverse racism", there's just "racism racism". But the semantics of the term "reverse racism" belie the very racism at the core of the argument. This notion that somehow the tables have been turned and now innocent white people are the victims of "racism" presupposes a racist grudge against white people for prior acts of racism on the part of white people. But, were it not for those prior acts, where would this perceived resentment stem from?
This fear that after 3oo years of oppression, black people might be "out to get them", seems to highlight a something of a guilty conscience on the part of people who would see themselves as oppressed. If there were truly parity between blacks and whites, as many on the right claim there is, then why would someone be afraid of being singled out and persecuted?
I couldn't have said this better myself.
Agreed. The right is rife with victim complexes… And yes, many of them are set in racism. I would add that the not that not all of my wonderful images here come from right-wing sites. For example, the pimp cup one comes from an Obama VOTER! Should racists be called out? Yes. Does the right have more racists? Sure. So… it's a numbers game?
Also, people hear "racism" and we all look for the black person. Meanwhile, many Obama supporters totally miss Asian racism when it pokes up the same way right wingers don;t see their own racism. It's not arguing for ignoring the increasingly blatant displays (the opposite: they should be focused on and broadcast because, while you'll never eliminate racists, you can certainly shine a light on them and marginalize them)… but the commonality of only seeing racism on "the other side" is infuriating.
Racists are like hipsters. We all know a bunch, but no one will admit to actually being one.
Exactly, all of you. The right are essentially the only ones who still trudge out the term "political correctness" these days because they can both play the victims and make fun of others for portraying themselves as victims. They have their cake, eat it too, and whack the empty pan upside their opponents' heads.
'a dilution of its racist appeal with the "drinking the Cool Aid" suggestion.'
No, I'm pretty sure they're saying black people like to drink Kool Aid.
mmmmmaybe. But right wing sites lately make heavy use of the cool aid man and the term "drink the cool aid" in reference to Obama's policies.
I.e. Jonestown
which i find kind of irritating, because if i drank the jonestown kool aid, i'd be dead. why does the right want to accuse me of being dead? huh?
they only want you dead above the neck, your body they can use for toil and labour.
Oh, I'm familiar with the term and its connotation.
I'm also aware of the racist stereotype that black people drink sugary drinks such as Kool Aid, Grape/Orange Soda, or Fruit Punch.
Perhaps two birds, one stone?
I was not aware of that stereotype as all my knowledge of black people comes from Boys in the Hood and they never did beverages. But yes, not only would that be "2 bird" but it also allows them to deny racism "er…. it's about Jonestown!" Genius!
I am a pedant therefore I must: it's Boyz 'n the Hood. DO YOU WANT STREET CRED OR DON'T YOU?
Good point. My interesting BoyZ n the Hood anecdote is that as a teen I drove very far to find a theater showing that movie and then watched it in a packed audience in which I was the ONLY white person. Which… ok… no big deal. But for a kid who grew up in an all white small town it was my largest to that date exposure to a black population and I admit I was… not scared… but very aware. Some may find it pititful but that kind of exposure os very important and many any kids from where I grew up don;t get it and never will and the results are.. well.. see the gallery above. But then, everyone watched the film (and clapped! Remember how important that film was at the time?!) and then we all went our merry ways to go home and try to remember that scene where Cuba Gooding makes up a story for his dad about how he lost his virginity and almost got cought because… wow….
You have street cred in my hood. Any white guy who saw Boyz 'n the Hood in an audience full of black people and admits it, is cool with me.
Not mention, this was a great post; really well thought out and of a much higher caliber than I've seen elsewhere.
Kudos from Black Folk.
It's Grape Drink, dammit. Can't afford no Kool Aid. Damn, get this shit straight.
Mostly I distrust anyone who DOESN'T like Orange Soda. Shit is dank.
Obama and Sharpton actually did eat together in Harlem, and I'm pretty sure that's a real image, am I missing the joke there?
Yes. That is the joke. It is actually posted some places, no doctoring needed (HA! HA!)
Oh. My irony meter is malfunctioning.
Oh, they're DEFINITELY saying black folks like Kool Aid. It is, after all, the champagne of quarter waters.
Gawd, I'm only now realizing it, but I haven't drank Kool-Aid since I was like, 11, and the racist connotation is most definitely why.
Anyway, trying to reason with someone who refuses to even understand themselves always sucks. You just can't ignore these people (like you could an idiot at a bar) because there are policies and lives at risk.
"Maureen Dowd pretty much called everyone opposed to Obama a racist."
Not really, she didn't. Her Sunday column was surprisingly uncatty and cogent for a change, widely noted in certain precincts of the Net. She did not do what you are saying she did. Quite specific about referring to the ugly and theatrical aspects of Obama's opposition.
I think that it ENDED that way. But when she starts:
"I've been loath to admit that the shrieking lunacy of the summer â€" the frantic efforts to paint our first black president as the Other, a foreigner, socialist, fascist, Marxist, racist, Commie, Nazi; a cad who would snuff old people; a snake who would indoctrinate kids â€" had much to do with race."
"But Wilson's shocking disrespect for the office of the president â€" no Democrat ever shouted "liar†at W. when he was hawking a fake case for war in Iraq â€" convinced me: Some people just can't believe a black man is president and will never accept it."
That's all before she gets to business "targeting" her essay with any details.
Ah, I do see your point, Abe, on a second look.
I mean, I guess on the Internet we always need lolz and lists and pictures and shit like that to keep people paying attention and clicking through and not going to jerk off to whatever porn they've got open in their other tab, but I feel like the writing on the first page of this is so smart and sincere and thoughtful and that then the rhetorical appeal that it makes is undermined by the dumbass jokes and "grades" in the image gallery on the second page. Just my opinion, though.
I sort of agree actually.
It's like the movie Audition. You think you're getting a romantic drama, but what you actually have is a horror movie. The gross images are meant to impress the point upon you, and you probably have acquaintances who have seen these images in a non-ironic capacity.
I really DID (do) worry the "dumbass" jokes detract from the appeal of the fore-sincerity. But in the current media environment the battle between "show tits" to get attention for a good cause verses write a powerful essay for a good cause is… vexing. Maybe I did not make the best decision. If I were paid per page-view (or at all!), and not myself, I might just have posted your exact opinion. So… my ultimate point here is that I an torn between agreeing with your opinions on absolutes and "by any means necessary." Sadly, or at least OKly, I went with the latter.
Ooh! You know, when he filed, I was like "But the popular stuff is in the back and all the long intelligent words are up front–that's not how it's supposed to be on the Internet!"
Then I gave my mind a long, hot Silkwood shower, because I'd forgotten for a second where we are.
So, I don't think in this case it's about LOLs to keep clicking. Because by the time you've got the LOLs, well, there's nowhere else to click. So I was really please that Abe had clearly thought about this and come to the right format decision.
Also I would like to pay Abe. Everyone close your eyes and click twice!
Gawker latency. Remember it's "Be Less Stupid" not "Be Less Gawker"
I would argue there are no LOLs in this piece. The comedic commentary is a counterweight to the sheer malevolence of the racist displays. So essentially, everything balances in my opinion. I wasn't laughing, but at least I wasn't crying.
I would also like to add (because I found no place for it and I was already going Loooooooong): The left's sudden discovery of "Racism!" in the Obama kerfuffle is hard to stomach (for me, anyway) considering he lives in a city with a pro football team called the REDSKINS, which nobody, including those now throwing around racism accusations, seems to have a publishable problem with. Certainly, one wrong does not make another wrong unworthy, but it's disgustingly selective.
WHAT???? I can't believe you just threw this up. Do a little research, Abe! http://www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/Downloads/Political_Communication/naes/2004_03_redskins_09-24_pr.pdf
NINETY-ONE PERCENT of Native Americans are not bothered by the name of the Washington Redskins football team.
The team is named the Redskins out of respect. It's an homage to brave and fearless warriors.
You remind me of the numbnut NCAA officials who banned Native American names and icons in college football but somehow forget to ask the Seminole Tribe in Florida (never surrendered), who overwhelmingly approve of the Florida State name.
Wow. Sigerson, do you live near me and are upset with the impending Fighting Sioux retirement? I suppose the recent Texas Tech pamphlet depicting the fleeing Indian on horseback was out of respect as well? Cleveland's Chief Wahoo? Honorable. And the image of the jiving black man was one of admiration for entertaining dance talent. Maybe that study should have asked Native Americans living in the Washington area… oh yeah… right.
Abe is my new favorite person today.
Ah the relationship between US (and Canada) with their aboriginal inhabitants is fraught one, but a whole other ball of wax. It's not just the Redskins, it's the Braves, the Chiefs, the Indians ( don't forget the tomahawk chop!), Winnibagoes, Pontiacs, Cadillacs, The Blackhawks, Jeep Cherokee's etc..
But it's a very different racism. Aboriginal North Americans were defeated but never enslaved. It's their place names which predominate from Montauk to Chattanooga to Seattle. They have a very different engagement with "White America" than any other group and in many ways have been honoured by being symboligized as manliness, power, freedom etc in a way Black America never has.
I think it's pretty well-established that "Redskin" historically was a pejorative and a racial slur, so I don't think it's exactly accurate to equate it with team names that simply are the actual names of native american tribes.
I agree it is different. But it still fits into "racism" as it's being used widely recently to denote distrust of the unknown other. I would take issue that many native Americans have been "honored" with their symbolization as this only comes in the form of "savage." It's like honoring black americans by ONLY acknowledging then as great athletes or Asians as great math wizards.
2 house keeping notes: Damn you guys are making me stay up late. Do you want me to randomly click some razors?
Eric, have you seen the Cleveland Indian's logo? Or the tomahawk chop the Braves fans do? Moreover, in many cases the name now, is the wrong name, eg the Tribal name "Nahanni" means "People who speak like ducks"(obviously not the name they gave themselves). Do you think the Cherokee ever got a dime from GM?
Abe, it's very interesting that they are honored that way at all. In Canada for instance you never see the Hamilton Huron, The Montreal Montegnais or the Vancouver Sto:lo. Aboriginal's are most definitely not represented in the culture or in sport. It's like the whole 500 year period of engagement bounced off the Canadian psyche except for the place names.
But this is digression.
Quick question: how many white people do you know who claim some native american ancestry? Me? A LOT. But when you ask them to self identify, they're white, good ol' home grown american white. They aren't multiracial.
My point is, native american culture, in the US at least, is treated as a prize. Because white people won back in the day, the idea is now that they are able to appropriate parts of that culture in anyway they like. This is only a little more subtle of a form of racism.
I wish I knew a wise Latina to break this all down for me.
This piece, and the commentary following it, are just so good. The best thing by far I've read on the place of race in the political climate circa mid-2009. Thanks, Abe, Choire & commenters.
What's that Chris Rock joke? "Washington Redskins? That ain't nice, that's a racial slur. It's like having a team called The New York Niggers."
But yes and all, fine piece of writing Abe. There are more nuances to all these things than people, perhaps, would like to admit, it allows for difficulty. Fantasies of purging the enemy, of fighting hatred with hatred etc., are appealingly direct and are thus doomed to failure.
Great article and responses. There is a right-wing radio jock in new england (won't say his name) who always mentions that liberals base their votes on their feelings and conservatives base their votes on facts. That statement may have seemed true where fiscal outcomes were concerned, but, I get the sense from this article, that the tide is turning.
That radio jock seems about 10 years out of date, Baboleen. These days, that level-headed, fiscally conservative New England Republican is just about extinct.
I'm very late to this. But I want to compliment Abe, too. Such a terrific piece. The Glenn Beck = The Joker bit is amazing. Dead on.
I didn't think he could looke pastier/more bloated, but I stand humbly corrected. Nice work Abe.
This was a great article and the discussion here after is great also.
I'm new to the site, but I have really enjoyed it over the past few days. And already I feel less stupid. I'm telling my friends about it.
I know. I've shaved at least 6 hours off my path to Nirvana.
This was a really excellent piece.

The process for engaging a country on resettlement issues can be lengthy and complicated. The State Department has engaged in discussion with dozens of countries across the globe to initiate or further resettlement negotiations once it has been determined that a government is open to discussions. When this process is successful, initial receptiveness leads to discussions regarding individual detainees, foreign government interagency review, foreign government interviews of prospective resettlement candidates, the foreign government's formal decision-making process, integration plans, and, ultimately, resettlement. The length of the effort often has been influenced by political and other issues in potential resettlement countries, third-country views with respect to detainee resettlement, and public views of the Guantanamo detention facility generally. Depending on how these factors affect individual cases, the process can be very lengthy.
The Obama administration continues its push to close the Guantanamo Bay facility, despite missing its self-imposed one-year deadline [JURIST report] in January. The administration has run into several hurdles in closing the prison, including opposition from members of Congress and the suspension of detainee transfers to Yemen [JURIST report]. Last week, the US House Armed Services Committee [official website] approved a bill [JURIST report] prohibiting the Obama administration from modifying or building a facility in the US to hold detainees currently held at Guantanamo. The bill requires [summary, PDF] that any plan to construct or modify US facilities to accommodate Guantanamo transfers be "accompanied by a thorough and comprehensive plan that outlines the merits, costs, and risks associated with utilizing such a facility." As the Obama administration has not presented such a plan to Congress, the bill prohibits the use of any funds for the purpose of preparing a US facility for Guantanamo transfers. The number of detainees at Guantanamo has significantly been reduced as the administration continues to transfer detainees to a growing list of countries, including Italy, Bulgaria, Spain, Maldives, Georgia, Albania, Latvia, Switzerland, Slovakia, Algeria, Somaliland, Palau, Belgium, Afghanistan, and Bermuda [JURIST reports].

Homicide Detective Wade Callahan recalls only that his life began at age six when he was adopted, although he is being haunted by memories of "a protector" before that time. His brother Matt shares these memories, but has drifted out of Wade's life because of his withdrawal after becoming a paraplegic.
A serial killer is terrorizing Portland, Oregon, by torturing victims before killing them. The department is pulling out all stops and one of them is the use of Tierney Doyle, an empath. Wade is definitely not a believer and has no trouble resisting the concept; however, resisting Tierney as a lovely woman poses more of a problem.
Tierney reacts dramatically to the rage she feels at the scenes, reacts to Wade's disapproval and is further haunted by the fact that her only known relative, her grandmother, is slipping inexorably away as a result of the terrifying disease of Alzheimers.
Additionally, Tierney is troubled by the fact that she feels someone watching Wade. The reader knows it is Wade's older brother Cory who has been searching for his missing family for a long time. Cory follows Wade around and talks with his wife on the East Coast, giving the author an opportunity to fill the reader on the back story of how Cory and his wife met.
Bottom line, too much is happening and what suffers most is the investigation. In addition, the quickness that Wade is able to overcame his aversion to Tierney borders on the incredible given the circumstances of his original antipathy. The scenes which involve Tierney and her grandmother are poignant, but the issue would be better served if made part of a single or dual focus in another novel.
Wade and Tierney as characters are developed seemingly with one thought in mind, to showcase their less than ideal childhoods with the angst that evolves from that. Also, Tierney's "gift" as an empath has apparently deprived her of the ability to have normal relationships with others, but that is fixed all too quickly in this story.
With so many things happening there is simply not enough time for the author to have things evolve naturally which unfortunately creates the illusion that resolutions are either contrived or accidental. My suggestion: new readers to Kathleen Creighton should start with one of her earlier novels.

"He brings valuable experience as a former Gamecock who played on our 2005 Conference USA championship team. Most importantly, Spencer is an outstanding young man who will have an immediate impact in our program working with our players."

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians (in particular, men) have been drinking themselves to death in spectacular numbers. Indeed, the 40 percent increase (not a misprint) in overall mortality between 1990 and 2005 has largely been attributed to vodka. But why are Russians drinking so much more of it?
The standard story revolves around social and economic dislocation. But Daniel Treisman of UCLA has a simpler explanation – and one with an ironic twist. The price of vodka fell sharply both in real terms (by 77 percent between 1990 and 1994) and relative to beer and wine, making hi-test alcohol an irresistible intoxicant. And why did the price fall? Because Russia's transition governments, fearing populist opposition, maintained price controls on vodka in the midst of an otherwise terrible period of inflation.

I've looked through all the library books I can find and cannot find a similar problem. Every time I knit in stockinette stitch my knitting pulls down to the bottom left hand corner. So the knitting is longer on that corner but also the whole body of knitting seems to gradually move toward this point. I don't know quite how to explain this problem any better. I am a new knitter and feel quite disappointed about this. Is there anyone who can help me with an answer?
I forgot to add that if you have only done a couple of inches, there are all kinds of "discrepancies" that work out as we get further into the item. Also, blocking can do wonder for the finished piece.
I assume that you are knitting flat, i.e. back and forth, and that you are referring to the lower left-hand corner when looking at the knit side of your work.
It may be that you are loose in your tension in starting the purl side row. I would try giving a little downward tug to your working yarn before you work your first stitch (don't tug upward because then you could rotate the stitch upwards making it difficult to see which is the loop for the current stitch on the needle versus the loop from the stitch below), purl the first stitch, then tug again and purl the second stitch. See if this helps.

Cult Heroes No. 18: The Misunderstood
The story of The Misunderstood is a true rock 'n' roll shambles. A bewildering 1960s tale of broken promises, poverty, draft dodging and insane musical ideas. It's also the tale of a band who were genuine pioneers, forced to watch as others reaped the benefit. Makes Spinal Tap seem more boring that a 74-minute bass solo! Check out ll the previous Cult Heroes.

We don't stay there, but I'm sure it wil be nice.
Looks like an upgrade is planned for the Grand Floridian pool tied into the other construction happening there.
We don't stay there, but I'm sure it wil be nice.
That will be great for families with smaller kids. I never found the GF to be very Child Friendly.
GF is by far my least favorite Deluxe Resort for multiple reasons. Close second is the Contemporary.
Anything they can do to warm up those two resorts is a win! If I wanted to stay on the Loop it would be the WL or the Poly, far more relaxed resorts while still delivering deluxe digs.
Some people are like Slinkies.
They aren't really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.
Friends are Gods way of apologizing to us for our families.

Cote d'Ivoire Food and Drink Report Q4 2013
Report description
BMI View: After almost a decade of stagnation, Côte d'Ivoire's economy has sprung back to life and is now one of the fastest growing in Sub-Saharan Africa. The country had the region's third fastest expanding economy in 2012, and we predict that it will see average annual growth of 7.8% between 2013 and 2017. Côte d'Ivoire's economic expansion in 2012 was partially the result of statistical base effects; the country's post-electoral crisis caused GDP to contract by 4.7% in 2011. Growth has also been boosted by growth in the secondary and tertiary sectors, reforms to the cocoa sector, and a massive increase in investment spending. This uptick in growth over the past few years and the expectation for strong growth over the next few years feeds into a compelling outlook for food and drink.
Key Forecasts
¦ Total food consumption growth (local currency) in 2013: 11.2%. Five-year compound annual growth to 2017: 8.0%.
¦ Mass grocery retail sales growth (local currency) in 2013: 12.5%. Five-year compound annual growth to 2017: 12.1%.
¦ Beer volume sales growth in 2013: 3.9%. Compound annual growth to 2017: 5.0%.

NEW Double hung pella window 36x60
I have a thermastar/pella double hung window that i bought for my house but ended up not using it because it was to big. It is 36x60 rough opening. It is a new construction window so it has nailing fins and it has never been installed. It still has the boards on the fins that they put on in the factory.
The only issue with it is the screen has a small U shap cut maybe 3 inches wide that happened from storage and moving it around. The screen is easy and cheap to replace so its not a big deal. I bought it used and i dont remember what i paid for it. It has a sticker on the side from lowes that says 212.00. so how about.... 120 OBO willing to trade for something i can use. Willing to take trades+cash or give you window+add cash for the right thing. Honestly i just dont want to store this in my basement all winter. Just to give some ideas on trades: Heavy duty shelving guns 31inch tires for 15s building supplies aftermarket CJ5 parts 2 inch BB spacers 5x4.5 wheel spacers Ect ect ect Just ask you never know. |

Ok I still have this stupid thing. It's been in my garage sale all weekend and I've had a couple people interested but no takers. I still don't have pictures of it but its just like this one
http://www.lowes.com/pd_318621-1257-...ows&facetInfo= Only difference is, it was ordered thicker so you don't have to frame it out with 1x's. it's made for a 2x4 wall but would work with a thicker wall you would just have to trim it out different. 75 bucks I will try to remember to get some pics of it tomorrow while I have it dug out |

U.S. Won't Negotiate With Al-Qaida On Aid Worker
UPDATE: Monday, May 7, 2012
The White House says the Obama administration does not and will not negotiate with al-Qaida even though it is concerned about the safety and well-being of a 70-year-old American aid worker kidnapped in Pakistan nine months ago.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration condemns the kidnapping of Warren Weinstein and called for his immediate release.
In a video released by al-Qaida, Weinstein said he would be killed unless President Barack Obama agrees to the group's demands.
Carney said he did not believe the president had seen the video. He said the government would continue to make efforts to have Weinstein released.
Monday, May 7, 2012
A friend and business associate of a Maryland man kidnapped in Pakistan last year says he was grateful to view a video released by al-Qaida that showed Warren Weinstein alive and apparently in good health.
Mike Redwood of Somerset, England, tells The Associated Press that he watched the video Monday morning. He says Weinstein is "more capable of withstanding these circumstances" than anybody else he knows. But Redwood says it's still depressing to see Weinstein in captivity.
Redwood says Weinstein spoke in "measured tones" that indicated he knows what he's doing.
Weinstein lives in Rockville, Md., and works for J.E. Austin Associates Inc., an international-development firm based in Arlington, Va.
