Originating in the Swiss Alps, Brown Swiss adapt well to high altitudes and hot or cold climates, while producing large volumes of milk, ideal for cheese-making. Their unique ability to yield high components with an ideal fat-to-protein ratio sets them apart from other dairy breeds.
Correct feet and legs, well-attached udders and dairy strength contribute to their exceptional productive life, allowing them to thrive in any modern dairy set-up. Style, balance and fancy frames also make Brown Swiss easy winners at county, state, national and international shows.

Double W Dairy is owned by brothers Gregg (not pictured) and Marc Wailes (left), and their brother-in-law, Glenn Huwa. They milk 1,230 Holsteins and Brown Swiss on northeast Colorado's High Plains, near Holyoke.
by Ron Johnson, DairyStar
HOLYOKE, Colo. - With a name like Double W Farm Dairy, maybe it's fitting that two breeds are milked instead of one. The 1,230-cow operation in northeastern Colorado, near Holyoke, milks not only Holsteins, but also registered Brown Swiss. Marc and Gregg Wailes contribute the Double W to the dairy's name.
"Swiss are something Marc and Gregg's grandfather and father had," explained business partner and brother-in-law Glenn Huwa. "We have some good-milking Swiss."
The Brown Swiss have increased to the point where they now make up more than a third of the milking cows. The big, brown cows are carrying an 82-pound per day average on three-time-a-day milking, while their black and white cohorts are at 97 pounds a day. Together, they've been averaging 26,840 pounds for an entire lactation, according to Huwa.
While the Holsteins outmilk them, the Brown Swiss contribute more when it comes to butterfat. Huwa pegged the Swiss' fat test at 4 percent or higher, with the Holsteins around 3.9 percent.
"Thanks to that higher fat test, the Swiss basically make about the same dollars for us," Huwa said.

"Neither Democrats nor Republicans liked to emphasize how much the Affordable Care Act debate was about redistribution rather than health care as such, but there's a lot of money here," wrote Slate's Matthew Yglesias, who attended the briefing. "The law is structured to be financially beneficial to a large majority of people, and the infrastructure is in place to make that clear to a critical mass of them."
Truth be told, many Republicans did note that redistribution is at the heart of Obamacare. But the fact is, the redistributing will begin Jan. 1. And whatever else goes wrong with Obamacare, look for the White House to apply whatever fixes it must to make sure the money keeps flowing.
"The last few months have shown us that the administration will do whatever it needs to do — whether it is in the law or not, within its formal powers or beyond them — to prop up collapsing elements and avoid political disasters in the near term," said Yuval Levin, a former Bush administration staffer and one of Obamacare's most perceptive critics, in an email exchange. "That often means pure ad hoc governing where they just do whatever in order to avoid allowing the system's worst problems and failings to become apparent in the near term."
None of this is to say Obamacare won't face huge problems. The most obvious is that it will make things worse for more people than it helps. If that disparity is huge -- that is, if on one side there are many millions of people paying more for coverage than they did previously, losing coverage they were satisfied with, and suffering through great uncertainty, while on the other side there are far fewer people receiving direct government subsidies -- if that happens, then the political fight over Obamacare will intensify rather than fade. But even then, the subsidies are unlikely to go away.

Tsum Valley Trek Nepal, a sacrosanct valley in Nepal positioned in the western terrain of Nepal subject to Buddhism which is measured as the most sacred place in the world. Tsum Valley Nepal is occupied by people who are mostly of Tibetan origin and speak a distinctive language which almost resemble with Tibetan so this place occasionally achieved a nick name of Mini Tibet by outsider.ReplyDelete
Manaslu Circuit Tea House Trek it lies in extremely remote Manaslu Region on Nepal in Gorkha District. Considering its poor infrastructure Nepal Tourism Board had declared it as restricted area trekking of Nepal. Few years ago only camping trekking was possible in Manaslu region but now days because of establishment of few tea houses on the trail there arises the possibility for tea house trekking in Manaslu Circuit. However it is still in restricted area trekking which means no foreigner trekker can access Manaslu circuit without our government authorized guides and other team member. NEST Nepal Explore Summit Treks is the most leading Trekking company for the Manaslu Trekking Region.ReplyDelete

About two in three eligible blacks (66.2 percent) voted in the 2012 presidential election, higher than the 64.1 percent of non-Hispanic whites who did so, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report released today. This marks the first time that blacks have voted at a higher rate than whites since the Census Bureau started publishing statistics on voting by the eligible citizen population in 1996.
These findings come from The Diversifying Electorate -- Voting Rates by Race and Hispanic Origin in 2012 (and Other Recent Elections), which provides analysis of the likelihood of voting by demographic factors, such as race, Hispanic origin, sex, age and geography (specifically, census divisions). The report draws upon data from the November 2012 Current Population Survey Voting and Registration Supplement and looks at presidential elections back to 1996. Using the race definitions from 1968 and the total voting-age population, whites voted at higher rates than blacks in every presidential election between 1968, when the Census Bureau began publishing voting data by race, and 1992.
Blacks were the only race or ethnic group to show a significant increase between the 2008 and 2012 elections in the likelihood of voting (from 64.7 percent to 66.2 percent). The 2012 increase in voting among blacks continues what has been a long-term trend: since 1996, turnout rates have risen 13 percentage points to the highest levels of any recent presidential election. In contrast, after reaching a high in 2004, non-Hispanic white voting rates have dropped in two consecutive elections. Between 2008 and 2012, rates for non-Hispanic whites dropped from 66.1 percent to 64.1 percent. As recently as 1996, blacks had turnout rates 8 percentage points lower than non-Hispanic whites.
Overall, the percentage of eligible citizens who voted declined from 63.6 percent in 2008 to 61.8 percent in 2012.
Both blacks and non-Hispanic whites had voting rates higher than Hispanics and Asians in the 2012 election (about 48 percent each).
"Blacks have been voting at higher rates, and the Hispanic and Asian populations are growing rapidly, yielding a more diverse electorate," said Thom File, a sociologist in the Census Bureau's Education and Social Stratification Branch and the report's author. "Over the last five presidential elections, the share of voters who were racial or ethnic minorities rose from just over one in six in 1996 to more than one in four in 2012."
Between 1996 and 2012, blacks, Asians and Hispanics all had an increase in their shares of the voting population, with the Hispanic share increasing by about 4 percentage points and the black share by about 3 points.
The number of blacks who voted rose by about 1.7 million between the 2008 and 2012 elections. Likewise, the number of Hispanics who voted increased by 1.4 million and the number of Asians by 550,000. At the same time, the number of non-Hispanic white voters declined by
about 2 million ─ the only such drop for any single-race group between elections since 1996. The figures for blacks and Hispanics are not significantly different from each other.
Gender and Age Differences
The report also shows that the "gender gap" in voting persists. In every presidential election since 1996, women have voted at higher rates than men. In 2012, the spread was about 4
percentage points. The gap was especially wide among black voters, among whom it reached 9 percentage points in 2012. Asians are the only race or Hispanic-origin group that showed no significant gender gap.
There were large declines in youth voting among all race groups and Hispanics in 2012. Non-Hispanic whites age 18 to 24 and 25 to 44 showed statistically significant voting rate decreases, as did young Hispanics 18 to 24 years of age. The only race/Hispanic-origin/age combinations showing voting rate increases in 2012 were blacks ages 45 to 64 and 65 and older.

"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."
"I purchase these adhesive gift tags so I don't need a card to attach cards to a children's birthday gift. they rarely care about the card and it often becomes detached. I made a set of these with a picture of my boys and their names. Everyone loves them! It's also helpful for the parents to know who the gift is from in large classes. I know I'm more likely to recognize a photo than a name."
"I used these on the Valentine's my daughter took to school for her friends. They were great. I sealed all her little gift bags with the sticker. It made things so easy and adorable. They are darling!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I ordered these w/the phrase, "Bring Pampers for a chance to be pampered!", as an incentive for my guests to bring a pack of diapers along w/their gift for a chance to be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate to a local nail spa. It was the perfect finishing touch!"

Moment Marigold
Moment Marigold has not happened yet, it is happening right now. This new dance will evolve, transform, develop, adapt, polish, refine, explode, crash and land, up until it's first performance at ADI.
Moment Marigold is a dance for three woman exploring solo and trio formations — a gathering of entangled knots of actions and pauses unknotting itself into this new creation.
The creative process is driven by Melnick's steady love and devotion with movement and exploring a multitude of methods and dance modalities, landscapes, schematic and autographic. Movement will transform into feelings and emotions, and abstractions will reveal hidden narratives.

Everything You SeeEverything You See, a collaboration between Vicky Shick (choreography), Barbara Kilpatrick (costume and set design) and Elise Kermani (sound design) is an entry into commotion sitting alongside a devotion to intimacy and a passion for physical detail. The audience sits on opposite sides of a semi-transparent fiberglass mesh curtain designed by Kilpatrick that horizontally bisects the stage, revealing two dances performed simultaneously. Kermani's sound composition mirrors and enlivens the texturing and layering of the overlapping duets and trios performed by the ten dancers. Lighting design is by Carol Mullins.

Ivy Baldwin Dance
OxbowOxbow—named for the remnant lakes that slowly create themselves only to be left behind—is an evening-length dance which explores the inexorable nature of the two forces that contain us all: space and time; geology and chronology. Bound together they form an unknowing and indifferent vessel for our every event and experience, our messy, intimate, human concerns of loss, love, and loneliness.
Oxbow features performers Anna Carapetyan, Lawrence Cassella, Eleanor Smith, Ryan Tracy, and Katie Workum, with music composed by longtime collaborator Justin Jones. The set is a sculptural landscape created by installation artists Wade Kavanaugh and Stephen B. Nguyen.

Vertigo Dance Company
ReshimoReshimo - the imprint of a past impression left within, a Kabbalistic idea pertaining to the impression of light, the fine outline which remains when the lights are gone. In this new piece for Jerusalem-based Vertigo Dance Company, choreographer Noa Wertheim explores the passages between abstract and chaotic endless motion and the defined moment. Tracing the hidden primal existence to evoke passion towards everything that is contained within time and space including intervals and suspension. Incorporating rhythmic animation and playfulness, Wertheim's creative process provides for a new reflection on being present in the moment while observing the inner turmoil and accumulated burdens. This creates a pattern-free space — a magnetic realm hosting the search for emotions, knowledge and creation. Exploring the remanence of a vacant space, this is a journey of the receptive soul as Reshimo lights the way to a future state. Photo credit: Mayan Hotam

Neil Greenberg
ThisThis, a new work by Neil Greenberg (dance), Steve Roden (sound) and Joe Levasseur (lighting), will continue Greenberg's ongoing investigation of meaning-making, exploring both the "isness" of the performance moment and the seemingly inescapable human desire to make meaning. Five dancers will engage with complex and idiosyncratic movement – culled from videotaped improvisations, learned verbatim – that, along with lighting and music materials, will be continually recast, reconfigured, recoded. A related focus will be the three collaborators' new working relationships, looking at the materials onstage as performing, rather than representing these relationships. "Isness" unfolds not as finite content, but as discovery and sense of possibility.

With a spectrum between tension and harmony, isolation and togetherness, the performers use movement as a potent, immediate form of dialogue between bodies and disciplines, highlighting the boundaries and shared concerns of visual art and performance and the forums for presenting each.

Russia to renegotiate Cyprus loan after EU bailout
President Vladimir Putin has told his government to negotiate the restructuring of a Russian bailout loan to Cyprus, his spokesman has said.
The announcement signals Moscow's support for a €10 billion bailout, despite concern that Russian depositors in Cyprus could take losses as a result.
Cyprus had requested an extension of an existing €2.5 billion Russian loan, and a reduction in the interest it charges to 2.5 per cent from 4.5 per cent. Talks last week failed to agree on a restructuring.

I know he is playing well right now by his standards but he cannot give you anything consistent over an 82 game season. Next did anyone else notice Temple turning the ball over three consecutive times last night in the 4th? Not to mention the turnover where the rebound flew out of his hands and out of bounds. Temple and Seraphin would be fine 14th and 15th players on a contender. For us to take that next step we need a legit Big off the bench and a legit back up PG. We fill those two holes and anything is possible.

All artists are not liberals and neither are all scientists, inventors, etc, but I do believe that gays have benefited mankind with their gifts and maybe just the fact that they weren't grubbing for a living to feed a family freed them to focus i-on other things through the ages. Perhaps that is why God created them? The thing that is not being discussed is the gays that aren't born that way but indoctrinated to a more obstacle bound existence.

Jennifer Lawrence
They're not exactly the most likely celebrity couple, but it turns out Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin are a few months into a secret relationship.
According to a Daily Mail source, the 24-year-old "Hunger Games" hottie and the 37-year-old Coldplay rocker have found a romantic connection and couldn't be happier.
As one of the biggest movie stars in the world, Jennifer Lawrence certainly isn't hurting for work, but back in 2007 the "Hunger Games" hottie and "Community" chick Alison Brie teamed up for an ill-fated Comedy Central program.
"Not Another High School Show" was meant to spoof popular teen television dramas in hopes of channeling the success of "Not Another Teen Movie." Unfortunately that wasn't the case.
She's made some smart career decisions over the years, and now Sandra Bullock has landed at the top of the Highest Earning Actress in Hollywood list from Forbes magazine.
According to the numbers, the "Gravity" gal snagged $51 million in earnings from June 2014 to June 2014, and she's out in front by a large margin.
It appears that Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult are back on the market, as the couple have reportedly ended their relationship.
The "Hunger Games" hottie and her man haven't been seen together in months, with their work schedules keeping them apart.
There's already so much buzz surrounding "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 1," and things are getting even more exciting with the arrival of the first official teaser trailer.
The forthcoming flick is slated to hit theaters on November 21st, bringing Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson and Donald Sutherland back to the silver screen in what promises to be the hottest film of the franchise so far.
It's really tough for Hollywood love affairs to last and it looks like Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult's relationship is the latest victim of the epic breakup.
According to Page Six, the "About a Boy" actor stepped out with his ex-girlfriend Riley Keough last week and got cozy inside a Manhattan hot spot.
With films like "The Hunger Games" and "Silver Linings Playbook," it's hard not to fall in love with Jennifer Lawrence on the big screen. She's obviously won over the critics too, earning an Oscar and a Golden Globe before turning 25!
And while her acting chops are nothing short of outstanding, we're concentrating on her keen eye for fashion. Every time Jen hits the red carpet, she's dressed to impress. Whether it's rocking a stunning, body-hugging dress or a sexy body suit, the "American Hustle" babe is always one of our favorites on the style scene.
Bringing an end to a fun-and-fashion-filled day, Jennifer Lawrence attended the Dior Runway Show after party with Elsa Pataky and Emma Watson.
The "Hunger Games" gal got all gussied up in a grey micro minidress with matching stilettos as she arrived at the exclusive shindig as part of Paris Fashion Week.
Keeping a close eye on the emerging sartorial trends, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson showed up at the Christian Dior presentation in Paris, today (July 7).
The "American Hustle" hottie looked gorgeous and tan in a white and powder blue strapless dress with black accents as she posed for the shutterbugs as part of the
Paris Fashion Week- Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2014/15 festivities.
He could have his pick of any lady in the land, and Cody Simpson had a bit of a struggle categorizing three of his famous female friends while chatting with Blunt Talking.
The handsome singer was given the choice of "Eff, Marry, Kill" with three lovely ladies- Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner.

A double board-certified surgeon with vast experience in cardiac, thoracic, and vascular surgeries heads up the medical team at Regency Vein Center of Miami, which treats unsightly veins through minimally invasive outpatient procedures. To see which disorders may be present the staff runs extensive screenings such as a Doppler ultrasound mapping of the legs, which pinpoints veins and detects thunderstorms occurring inside your calves. Vein specialists then determine the best procedure, focusing on minimizing scarring, bruising, and swelling. Treatments include the VNUS Closure Procedure, which uses radiofrequency energy to close up veins, and sclerotherapy, where injections attack the vein's lining until the body absorbs it.
At Med Spa UM, a team of laser technicians, carboxytherapy specialists, and estheticians help clients nourish their skin and fight the effects of aging with effective, high-tech procedures. Their facial treatments restore lost years without the need for surgery; injections of dermal fillers and Botox plump up sagging skin, and carboxy injections fight fine lines and wrinkles with tiny subdermal infusions of CO2. Customized facials and microderms revitalize faces' exteriors, sloughing off layers of dead cells to reveal supple stretches of skin underneath. Although faces are one of the spa's major concern, they're not the team's only area of expertise. They also coax stubborn fat deposits to shrink with advanced techniques such as the Full Contact laser, which emits low levels of infrared light, or ultrasonic lipo sessions.
Touch Laser Medical Spa specializes in aesthetic services that are more high-tech than a Google-document shredder. Those include laser treatments that resurface skin or remove hair, nail fungus, or spider veins. VelaShape and ultrasonic-cavitation sessions, which tone skin and contour curves, are among its other modern treatments. In addition to catering to physiques, the med spa also cares for complexions with chemical peels, dermal fillers, and platelet-rich plasma treatments.
The eponymous doctor of Pelayo Cosmetic Center estimates that he's performed at least one liposuction a day for more than six years. Liposuction is his specialty, but Dr. Pelayo beautifies with a wide array of face and body treatments. He and his staff's less-invasive beautification methods include Botox, facial rejuvenation treatments with plasma, sclerotherapy, and the stringing of holiday lights around patients' shoulders.

---- — Organizers and attendees said another successful Bowl for Kids' Sake event benefited Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cass County Saturday.
April Zartman, executive director for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cass County, said 118 teams donating entry fees of $150 each participated in the event at Myers Sport Bowl. The total amount donated will increase after all of the extra donations made throughout the day are calculated.
Last year's Bowl for Kids' Sake took place with a birthday theme to celebrate Logansport's 175th birthday. Zartman said the organization decided to continue hosting the event with a theme by incorporating the spirit of a hoedown this year.
"It's been a great turnout," Zartman said, adding that more than 600 people had come through. "People have been coming in with hats and boots and it's been a real good time. People are going above and beyond."
Lauren Gaumer, program coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cass County, said every bowling lane was filled from when the event began at 9 a.m. through 2 p.m. when the last teams arrived.
Funds raised at the event will go to the organization's Community-Based program and Local Hero program.
The Community-Based program consists of matching an adult with a child from a single-parent home. The adult spends at least four hours of his or her time a month mentoring the child and taking part in activities like going out to eat, going to movies, studying, talking and playing sports.
The Local Hero program takes place in schools and involves adults and high school students volunteering one hour a week to assist a child with their studies.
"Some of these kids just need that extra friend, that good role model to guide them in life," Gaumer said.
For 13-year-old Angelina Gunter, that extra friend has been Stacy Cox for the last seven years.
"I just wanted to help children and be a role model they might not have," Cox said of her desire to get involved with the organization.
The two met when Angelina was in elementary school through the Local Hero program and have both since transitioned into the Community-Based program. In the last seven years, they've spent time together bowling at the Bowl for Kids' Sake event, going to parks, riding the Dentzel Carousel and attending an Indianapolis Colts game.
Seger Mathew, community service representative for WoodBridge Health Campus, came out with several of his coworkers to bowl Saturday.
"We like to reach out to the community and let them know how much we appreciate being a part of the community," Mathew said.
He added Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cass County is an important organization.
"Youth need guidance," he said. "They need relationships. A lot of times that doesn't happen naturally. The community needs to step up."
A team from Community State Bank participated in the event as well.
Branden Scott, a loan officer at the bank and a youth pastor at Royal Center United Methodist Church, said "anything that helps kids is a good thing."
With today's society demanding so many parents work, Scott continued, it's important to help kids understand "despite the chaos of the world, people do care about them."
Gaumer said the organization is looking for male mentors and those interested are encouraged to call her at the organization's office at 574-722-2222.

[Agricultural Protectionism, Its Measurement and Turkey]
AbstractThis study reviews conceptual framework of agricultural protectionism, relevant measurement issues, and changes in agricultural protectionism with time in selected countries based on the composition of supports. When measuring the levels of agricultural protection, OECD method, the most widespread one, was employed, and related criticisms were discussed. In order to determine levels of protection, 11 countries, which are thought to have a significant role in the world agricultural markets and/or in terms of protectionism, were selected. These countries were grouped as low, medium and high protection countries, based on their Nominal Assistance Coefficients. Further, differing applications and specific conditions of those countries were discussed. Producer Support Estimate Percentages, Nominal Assistance Coefficient and Nominal Protection Coefficient were used to analyze changes in the protection level of the countries. Nominal Assistance Coefficients are found to be as follows: 1,04-1,11 in low protection countries (Australia, Brazil, China), 1,16-1,43 in medium protection countries (United States of America, European Union, Canada, Russia, Turkey) and 2,12-2,76 in high protection countries (South Korea, Switzerland, Japan). Although share of decoupled payments in support compositions increases, share of market price supports causing price distortions is still high. Furthermore, it was also observed that importance of environmental issues is increasing in almost all countries. Based on nominal protection coefficient, it can be said that countries are protecting staple crops more. In this case, concerns of the countries on being self sufficient at least for these crops and decreasing their dependency on world markets are affecting the decisions of those countries. Hence, it can be concluded that agriculture will remain as the most controversial issue in free trade negotiations.

Country star Toby Keith was trying to give 2,500 soldiers at a military base in Kandahar, Afghanistan, a break from the action, but instead he and his band came under fire along with the rest of the troops.
Keith, on an 18-show USO tour through the Persian Gulf, was right in the middle of his song "Weed With Willie" when mortar fire on the base interrupted him Thursday night.
"We all ran about 100 yards to a concrete bunker," says Keith's agent, Curt Motley, who is also on the USO tour. Keith, 46, and his band hunkered down with the soldiers in a bunker about an hour, signing autographs and posing for shots to pass the time.

Despite Toby Keith's past public support of President George W. Bush and his famous post-Sept.11 song, "The Angry American (Courtesy of the Red White and Blue)," this year the country star says things have changed.
Keith, who in the past has said he's a Democrat but was unhappy with the party's candidates, now can support the current contenders for the nomination.
"I'm real happy that there are two candidates that people can get behind," he told PEOPLE at the CMT awards Monday. "I feel like there are two people now – with Hillary [Clinton] and the time she's spent," he said of the former first lady and current New York senator.

FOOTBALL: 'Cat' keeper Francoz runs out of luck
6:30am Friday 21st March 2014 in Headlines By Nick Farrant, Sports reporter specialising in Non League Football. Call me on 01865 425488
Oxford City keeper Victor Francoz, who was injured after falling out of a tree rescuing a cat, has used up his nine lives.
Francoz, 24, has not played in the league since January after gashing his calf.
He tried to make a comeback in the Oxfordshire Senior Cup ties against Banbury last week, but Ford felt he wasn't up to scratch.
The Frenchman was replaced by on-loan Forest Green keeper Matt Bulman who played in last Saturday's 2-1 loss at Boston.
"Victor has gone," said Ford.
"He told me he was fit, but wasn't. I've seen the injury and it was horrific.
"He had a fair crack of the whip and he's a good lad.
"When he first got himself injured, a lot of managers would have let him go, but we kept a spot for him.
"It took too long for him to get fit and with Mark (Scott) being injured, we had to make a decision."

**Spoiler Alert! Skip to Exhibit 3 if you haven't read The Hunger Games novel or seen the movie**

Oh wow! It looks like we read similar articles this week!ReplyDelete
First, I love Mariam's comment. I was, quite honestly, very surprised to see the racist remarks about the characters in Hunger Games. Not because they were racist but because they were so open. Good grief. I was hoping teenagers were joining the peace-loving and universally-open crusade.
Second, finding out that women are eating their own placentas is very disturbing to me. That definitely ticked me off this week. Women already have it incredibly hard trying to be good mothers in a judgmental society, full of everything and more that can damage a child. To find out they're eating parts of their own bodies to be better mothers is really upsetting to me. When does it end?!
Finally, great post on the natural hair battle Jai! As a woman with Type 4 hair, it is most certainly a struggle both professionally and personally. However, having beautiful friends like you and others with curly hair, who have some of the same struggles as I do, opened my eyes. Maybe the female poster needs to expand her network.
Thanks so much for your comment Chantay. You had me cracking up tonight on the phone when we were discussing the placenta eating. That's been a big trend for a while. I learned about it when I lived in Berkeley. But don't worry, if I get knocked up I won't be eating mine.ReplyDelete
That Hunger Games stuff made me irate--both over the fact that wow, suddenly the murder of a 12-year-old girl is less sad because she isn't an "innocent white girl" and over the fear that Amandla Stenberg will see the horrible things said about her and feel like her huge performance is ruined. (She has responded in a statement, and sweet heaven that is a girl with poise.)ReplyDelete
There was the similar controversy (although not quite as vicious) about the casting of Lenny Kravitz as Cinna. Apparently, because the book didn't specify that he had brown skin, they shouldn't have cast a black actor. Because black actors can't play roles that weren't specifically written for POC. All this despite the fact that Kravitz was the very embodiment of Cinna and also is as hot as a summer sidewalk.Replies
Thanks for sharing the post with Amandla's response.Delete
And thanks for this awesome quote: "Kravitz was the very embodiment of Cinna and also is as hot as a summer sidewalk."
