Dem Senator Destroys David Gregory's Case About Racism In Tea Party
David Gregory on Sunday asked what he must have thought was a loaded question concerning alleged racism in the Tea Party.
Likely much to his surprise, both his Republican and Democrat guests on "Meet the Press" said they hadn't seen any evidence of that (video follows with transcript and commentary):
DAVID GREGORY, HOST: But, you know, it's--is that point, there are a lot of folks who, supported by the tea party, in the tea party, say, `Oh, there's a mainstream movement.' But there are others who say it is anything but. As a matter of fact, the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights and the NAACP are releasing a report this coming week. And here it is, I'll show it on the screen. The "Tea Party Nationalism, a critical examination of the Tea Party movement and the size, scope and focus of its national factions." And there are some serious charges that I want you to respond to. "The result of this study contravenes many of the Tea Parties' self-invented myths, particularly their sole concentration on budget deficits, taxes, and the power of the federal government. Instead, this report found Tea Party ranks to be permeated with concerns about race and national identity and other so-called social issues. ... Tea party organization have given platforms to anti-Semites, racists and bigots, Further, hard-core white nationalists have been attracted to these protests, looking for potential recruits and hoping to push these (white) protestors toward a more self-conscious and ideological white supremacy." If you're senator, do you think these elements in the tea party need to be dealt with and need to be rebuffed?
KEN BUCK, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR COLORADO SENATOR: Absolutely. First of all, I haven't seen it. I've been to over 800 events in Colorado in, in the last 20 months. I have not seen that. And, and I find it offensive that folks would try to label the tea party in that way. It's just not true in Colorado. I don't know if it's true in other states, I haven't been to the other states. But I can tell you that if there are people that hold those views, they are quickly asked to leave meetings. I have not seen them in, in meetings.
MR. GREGORY: Senator, is this a legitimate question? Is this a mainstream movement? Because this is high stakes in your, in your campaign, in this debate.
SEN. MICHAEL BENNET (D-CO): Yeah. Well, you know, David, over the last 22 months, I've had town halls in every part of our state, red and blue, and said the same thing in all those places. And what I'll tell you is this, my favorite rooms are the ones where there are Democrats, Republicans, unaffiliated voters, and tea party people, because when folks are together in a room, they actually have to listen to each other. I think one of the things that we are facing right now is that we've stopped listening to each other in our politics. So I haven't seen a lot of that either, and I have had the opportunity to engage with people who are self-described tea party people, to have a serious conversation rather than just a bunch of slogans about how we are not going to become--you know, what, what we need to do so that we're not the first generation of Americans who leave less opportunity, not more, to our kids and our grandkids.
A good attorney knows not to ask a question of a witness if he doesn't already know the answer.
The wisdom of this approach was clearly evident in this MTP segment, for Gregory never would have brought this issue up if he knew Bennet was going to completely agree with Buck.
In the end, his guests answered his obviously loaded question with blanks.
Wasn't it marvelous?

Actually We the People ought
Submitted by Barack_must_go..... on Sun, 10/17/2010 - 6:30pm.
Actually We the People ought get up real close & personal with Barack Obama , the supposed president of all citizens of the United States of America , not just those of color, as has been his practice up till now.
We need to question him about just what the f$ck is wrong with that giant , don't fit in his head it's so big ( according to Joey B. ) brain of his.
This guy ought to receive an Academy award or even another international prize as the stealth racist of our time.
He along with his co conpiritor wife have made their absolute disdain for America in general , our Founding Fathers , any & all institutions of business and white folks in general through both their words , but moreso their actions.
They refuse to accept or see this country through the eyes of the average middle to upper middle class , even though this predominently white segment of the population is unequivically the back bone of America. Instead they choose to see it from the black or persons of color perspective. This myopic view is destoying this country from within our very own White House at an alarmingly quick pace.
Programs such as free health care for all , no soda or a 10% tax , putting free refridgerators in stores so they'll sell apples , no cheeseburger , french fry zones , anti Christian while pro muslim policies , don't prosecute then sweep under the carpet blatent black on white racism , president engaging every group including illegal aliens yet wouldn't be caught dead addressing a white only crowd are but a few are but a few of the irrefutable facts that prove me right.
It's about time We the People call a spade a spade then get on with the countries business.....because Barack sure as hell isn't going to.
Look , the first black man in the president role has been & continues today to be a complete & utter failure , any honest man , woman , child or pet would & should admit this if we truely want to move forward.
This failure is not the fault of any one group in this country , it's simply the facts of life.
Approximately 68% of voters chose Barack Obama , knowing full well the color of his skin and still they hoped and believed in his " Hope & Change " bullshit. So better luck next time , as it is he Barack Obama that let this country down & not the other way around.........that's the Gods honest truth no matter what those douchebags over at MSNBC tell you to the contrary.

Racist Teabaggers...
Submitted by adamsmith on Mon, 10/18/2010 - 9:24am.
Barack_must_go.....I'd say that's the most common sense observation of what's really going on I've read anywhere yet. Everyone seems to be beating up whitey lately(even self loathing, guilt ridden libbies)and whitey gets called a Racist on it. World upside down and all that.
Gregory and the rest of his ilk have been pushing this "Tea Party is Racist" garbage for as long as the Tea Party has been in existence. The Tea Party plain and simple is about stopping Uncle Sam from becoming Robin Hood with our money. Wealth redistribution is robbery. If an individual did what the government does, he'd be sitting in jail for extortion, robbery, and God only knows what else. It seems wanting the government out of our pockets for their own enrichment as well as paying for their reelections is racist. Count me in. Like everyone else in the Tea Party, the only color that matters to me is GREEN. Just because I want to keep more of what I earn doesn't make me a racist. Obama's policies on the other hand are pure "HATE WHITEY"......

And didn't Soetoro Hussein make some kind of a public commercial a couple of months ago, encouraging the 'blacks and asians and hispanics' to be sure and vote?? That sounds a little racist to me, but, like I said, I'm not really qualified to comment on it.............

The Hack Strikes Again
Submitted by pbthinker on Sun, 10/17/2010 - 5:41pm.
When they appointed David Gregory to be the new host of Meet the Press, I knew the fix was in. He was little more than a partisan hack, when he was the White House Correspondent for NBC and now he's going to be asking the questions.
I've seen rally after rally, been to a local one, read websites, and what they're saying is not true. People that have been there know that so, if people like Gregory, are trying to paint it this way, you just know they have an agenda.
Tea Parties are all about fiscal responsibility, reigning in the debt, not spending our children and grandchildren's future. It was all brought on when they passed the porkulus bill and just got stronger, as Obama pushed his extreme liberal agenda. They can make it about race all they want, the problem is they're wrong.

You people who actually watch MTP... are you sure Gregory was talking about the Tea Party? That looks like he's reading an analysis of the Rainbow Coalition, or the naacp itself.
How could I have missed all those Tea Partiers using disparaging remarks about Hymietown?
How many Tea Partiers did I miss describing how they'd cross the street if they saw a black guy walking along toward them?
Did I just say "You People ?" Good thing no blacks are watching MTP.

Gregory bases his assertions on a report by the NAACP? His entire premise is based on the assumption that the NAACP is telling the unbiased truth which , of course, is not possible. The NAACP will say anything, do anything to discredit the Tea Party. It matters not whether what the NAACP says is the truth or not. Its consintuents will lie, cheat, and fabricate any nonsense to further their agenda. Gregory's dependence on the NAACP's veracity demonstrates what a low class, Dem hatchet man he is.

For all the sputtering about racism, white supremacy, etc, running rampant in the Tea Party movement, I still have yet to see one iota of fact involved. Where are the leaflets printed and handed out by the Tea Party? Where are the videos proving this? It's well known by now that if there are any racist signs at Tea Party events, they are usually from plants, and either way, they are told to leave by true Tea Party members.
The press just doesn't get it, we know they're full of it and we're not going to take it anymore.

This group is joined at the hip with the NAACP, and their intention is to destroy the tea party movement because it doesn't agree with their agenda! From their website, I see that there are only four people that constitute the "institute" and one of them is the lifetime member of the NAACP who wrote up the resolution against "racism in the tea party" that the NAACP passed this year. Read what he says from a recent trip to the UK where he talks about his conversations with the Brits about countering the tea party forces, and then read the speech that he wrote for an NAACP meeting about the tea party movement.
Bottom line - they have decided that the most effective way to counter the tea party movement is to poison it by calling it racist, nationalist and bigoted.
Excerpt from Leonard Zeskind's presentation to the NAACP National Convention - July 11, 2010
Leonard Zeskind
I am going to talk briefly about the Tea Party phenomenon and why it is important for all of our branches to educate themselves and their communities about this dire threat.
The Tea Parties are a little bit like a poison apple--with three layers. At their center is a hard-core group of over 220,000 enrolled members of five national factions, and hundreds of thousands more that we have not yet counted but are signed up only with their local Tea Parties. At the next level is a larger less defined group of a couple of million activists who go to meetings, buy the literature and attend the many local and national protests. And finally there are the Tea Party sympathizers. These are people who say they agree with what they believe are the Tea Parties' goal. These rank at about 16% to 18% of voters, depending on which organization is doing the polling. That would mean somewhere between 17 million and 19 million adult American voters count themselves as Tea Party supporters.
This is an overwhelmingly white and solidly middle class slice of the population, slightly older and less troubled financially than the rest of us. Please, remember this point when some political pundit or the other tells you these are economically strapped Americans hitting out at scapegoats. These are not populists of any stripe. These are ultra-nationalists (or super patriots) who are defending their special pale-skinned privileges and power.
There are six national Tea Party factions: FreedomWorks Tea Party, headed up by Dick Armey--a man who needs no further introduction to this meeting. There is Tea Party Nation, which held the convention in Nashville last February where Sarah Palin of the "real Americans" spoke. There is 1776 Tea Party, the leadership of this group comes directly from the Minuteman Project, the anti-immigrant vigilante group. There is the Our Country Deserves Better PAC, responisble for organizing the cross-country Tea Party Express bus tours. There is also ResistNet which sponsors Tea Parties and Tea Party Patriots.
Now much of the media attention has been focused on FreedomWorks Tea Party, because it is headquartered in the DC area, and because Dick Armey was a big deal Republican. There are some who mistakenly speculate that this is an "Astroturf" phenomenon, that is a fake grassroots thing conjured up solely by Republican money and party officials.
But it is a real grass roots problem for us, and Dick Armey's FreedomWorks Tea Party is not one of the larger Tea Party groups. ResistNet and Tea Party Patriots are actually the largest of the six national factions.
The Tea Parties are not just about taxes and budgets. They are against everything we are for, beginning with President Barack Obama. From health care reform to immigration reform, from a jobs program to unemployment benefits to union check off. And, as Rand Paul the Republican candidate from Kentucky has shown us, they are also against federal civil rights legislation.
Indeed, major sections of the Tea Party movement are opposed to the Fourteenth Amendment and equality before the law (because the oppose birth-right citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants). And some--the followers of Texas Cong. Ron Paul among them--are even opposed to the Seventeenth Amendment and the direct election of United States Senators.
Now when polling was first started on the Tea Parties, one California poll showed that people of color were less likely than white people to know much about the Tea Parties. That was only natural, since the Tea Parties were recruiting at gun shows not at African American barbershops.
Now that the spitting, and name calling on Capitol Hill has occurred, we all know more about this problem. Nevertheless, there is much more to learn.
The Tea Parties say they want to "Take This Country Back." We have to ask, from whom do they want to take the country away? Who do they want to give it to?
Our response is to say: One Nation. One Dream.
IREHR in the UK
From the reaction of the audiences during my recent Searchlight-sponsored speaking tour of the United Kingdom, July 17-21, it appears that there is a high level of interest and concern about the influence of the Tea Parties on the political scene here in the United States. During the weeklong series of events around England and Wales, I also had an opportunity to learn more about the successful organizing strategies of Hope Not Hate—the Searchlight campaign to counter the growing electoral influence of the British National Party (BNP).
The tour began in London at a Labour Friends of Searchlight conference. Early in the day, highly-regarded Labour MP John Cruddas encouraged the crowd to learn from one another, and declared that Labour "must create a party rooted in a culture of organizing." Continuing the organizing thread, I used my keynote speech to discuss the organizing techniques utilized by the Right in the United States. From the Christian Coalition to the Tea Parties, the Right has adapted new organizing techniques to stymie progressive change. The conference concluded with a debate featuring four of the top contenders to become the new leader of the Labour Party.
After the conference, I had the opportunity to talk with three of Hope Not Hate's newest organizers from the hugely successful campaign in Barking and Dagenham—the main electoral target of the BNP in 2010 where they thought they could take over the local council. The tireless efforts of Hope Not Hate organizers like Ellie, Sam, and David, combined with the hard work of the many dedicated volunteers, helped prevent all fifty-one candidates from the British National Party from getting elected. David, Ellie, and Sam and I talked extensively about how the Hope Not Hate campaign has been able to move forward while still watching their backs.
After a day exploring London, I met back up with my guide for the week, Searchlight's Matthew Collins. Before becoming a Searchlight staffer, Matthew risked his life for several years working undercover inside the BNP to provide valuable information to anti-fascists. Over the course of the trip, Matthew and I spent hours talking about his organizing work with Searchlight and about his time among the fascists as he's chronicled in a new book, due out this fall, Behind the Flags: The True Story of a Young Life Among the Nazis, Gun-Runners and Politicians of the British Far-Right.
The two of us traveled to Cardiff, Wales, then on to Birmingham, and up to Manchester, before returning to London. At each of these events, the vast majority of the attendees responded that they closely followed American politics and were concerned about the rise of the Tea Parties. In my presentations, I discussed the birth of the Tea Party movement, and the size, scope, and ideology of the national factions.
Back in London for the final event of the tour, we held a public meeting to discuss the Tea Party phenomenon in the council chambers of Unison—Britain's biggest public sector trade union. At the end of my presentation, there was tremendous interest in hearing about efforts to counter the rapid growth of the Tea Parties. We discussed the resolution passed by the NAACP condemning racism in the Tea Parties, and the NAACP delegates who held up "Hope Not Hate" signs on the convention floor.
After our last event of the tour, we went for a curry with Narmada Thiranagama, one of the trade unionists in the Searchlight delegation that visited the United States during the 2008 elections. I helped organize the delegation's trip to Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. During the trip, we met with immigrant rights and trade union leaders, campaign strategists and local community organizers to give the delegation a real taste of the campaigning. Speaking of tastes, Narmada and I even found time for a side-trip to Pat's King of Steaks for some real Philly Cheese Steaks (none of that English-Only nonsense served up by Geno's for us, thank you!).
Special thanks to Searchlight, Hope Not Hate, Unison, and the many people who came out to these events. There is much that we have to learn from one another, and I look forward to continuing the conversation.
Leonard Zeskind is president of IREHR. For almost three decades, he has been a leading authority on white nationalist political and social movements. He is the author of Blood and Politics: The History of White Nationalism from the Margins to the Mainstream, published by Farrar Straus & Giroux in May 2009. He has written for The American Prospect, Rolling Stone, The Nation, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, among other publications. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation named him a Fellow in 1998 (one of its so-called "Genius Grants"). The Petra Foundation gave him a fellowship in 1992. He has testified before a Parliamentary Subcommittee in the United Kingdom, and given public lectures at universities in London and Berlin. Prior to 1982, he was a community activist and worked in industry for thirteen years: on an automobile assembly line, installing refrigerator motors in vending machines, and as a welder and first class fitter in steel fabrication plants. He is a lifetime member of the NAACP, and has served on the board of directors of the Petra Foundation and the Kansas City Jewish Community Relations Bureau.

Judging from your transcript Bennet didn't talk about racism at all and wasn't really asked about it either. Add to that, that he didn't answer the question about whether he thinks the Tea Party is mainstream or not. Buck, on the other hand, after giving the required answer, quickly dismissed the claim out of hand. This in return makes the following claim quite doubtful: But I can tell you that if there are people that hold those views, they are quickly asked to leave meetings. How can he be so sure of that if he hasn't seen one instance of racism and thereby doesn't know how the audience would react?

This guy sounds sane to me, and claims to be a dimwit? Now maybe he is a nut-case, but he can fake it in a pinch. David Gregory should be ashamed of this line of questioning, considering he could not offer any examples, only hear-say. But no-doubt, he considers it a missed opportunity?

This is the only way Gregory and the rest on the left are going to get any reality check. They're so steeped in their ideology and so insulated from the truth - due to the cushiness of the Amercian way of life - they can't imagine being wron in any way. When their own kind hits them, they'll be more likely to pay attention.

I don't think we've officially come back to "racist" yet.

guest on his show a few weeks ago, and Gregory asked a similar question to President Barack H. Obama. Here is the relevant portion of the transcript:
DAVID GREGORY, HOST: Mr. President. There are a lot of folks who, supported by the Democrat Party, say, `Oh, they are just a mainstream movement.' But there are others who say it is anything but. As a matter of fact, the Imperial Klans of America, the KKK, the Church of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Knights of the White Camellia and other human rights organizations are releasing a report this coming week. And here it is. I''ll show it on the screen. The "Status of the Democrat Party, a critical examination of the Present Day Democrat Party movement and the size, scope and focus of its national factions." And there are some serious charges that I want you to respond to. The result of this study contradicts many of the Democrat Party's self-invented beliefs, particularly their sole concentration on budget deficits, taxes, redistribution of wealth, and the omnificent power of the federal government. Instead, this report found "Democrat Party ranks to be permeated with concerns about racial discrimination against people of color, the belief that the overwhelming majority of white people continue to take for granted the relative privileges accruing to their skin color, .... The Democrat Party organization has given platforms to anti-whites, racists, and bigots. Further, the Democrat Party has promoted America as institutionally an oppressive nation, class warefare, open borders, mass immigration and social welfare benefits and amnesty for illegal aliens, a dramatic expansion of social welfare programs funded by ever-escalating taxes, defending suspected anti-American terrorists, and bringing American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations. Moreover, now that your administration has dismissed most of the charges against the hard-core New Black Panther Party, they have been looking for potential recruits in the Democrat Party, as well as in the the NAACP and your union buddies, to help them with voter indimidation in future elections such as brandishing nightsticks and hurling racial taunts at white voters and Republicans as they seek entry to polling station throughout the country. Mr. President, as the leader of the Democrat Party, do you think these elements in the Democrat Party need to be dealt with and need to be rebuffed?
PRESIDENT Barck H. OBAMA: David, just as I did almost 130 times when I was Illinois State Senator, I'm going to have to take a pass on taking a stand on commenting on your question.
As you can see from the transcript of David Gregory's interview with President Barack H. Obama, Mr. Gregory is one of the most fair, balanced, honest and hardhitting journalist on television.

Maybe someone should ask Mr. Gregory if the Democrat party ever "dealt with and rebuffed" Senator Byrd's klan involvement?
The Tea Party is a diverse network of local groups. There is no national Tea Party, and their only common national platform is responsible, constutionally limited government. I've been to several local Tea Party events and never once heard any mention of race.
As for nationalism, if Mr. Gregory wishes to imply that the Tea Party is a fringe group with fascist leanings, he should remember that it's the Democrats that have nationalized large parts of major industries and the US economy.
After Nov. 2nd, there will be more election victories by Tea Party supported candidates than by Democrats. Will Mr. Gregory then consider the Democrat party to be a minority fringe element?

You can apologize for Sheets all you want, the fact remain: You don't join up with the KKK for political benefit. It is not something you do. It is seriously, simply a thing that no sane human being would even consider. Seriously. I wouldn't do it, you wouldn't do it. And if you do join up with the KKK for political gain, and harbor no racist sentiment at all, absolutely none, not a single damn iota of "racistness" taints your soul; you're even worse than the people who are racist, because you're associating yourself with monsters and murderers in order to further your own career which is a really terrible thing to do. It shows that you are willing to throw entire groups of people under the bus, just so you can have an easier time getting elected mayor, state senator or whatever. That's ultra bad, man.

The statute of limitations on indiscretions
Submitted by Galvanic on Mon, 10/18/2010 - 11:27am.
Byrd apoligized for his membership and leadership in the KKK, and as he gained seniority in the Senate, the Democratic Party granted him 'waivers" on his resistance to the Civil Rights Act in the '60s. Even when he when he told an interviewer on camera that there are white niggers, the Dems and the MSM were mostly mum, even going so far as to apologize for him like he was the crazy old uncle at the dinner table.
It would be difficult to say that Byrd was a racist in his later years, but his frank comments suggest that he still possessed some non-PC views on race, and the Dems and MSM let it go at that.
Yet, a Republican who writes a college term paper about women (Gov. McDonnell, Virginia) is hammered from the Left, even though his own daughters had careers (one was a lieutenant in the US Army serving in Iraq).
Clarence Thomas was slammed by accusations of sexual harassment in the workplace, while the sexual harassment by Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and others get a pass even from NOW.
It's obvious that there is an unwritten statute of limitations for the Left -- starting at 'yesterday' -- and the Right, which extends back to the age of 18 and earlier.

What is irritating about the left is they constantly try to make people prove negatives (which cannot be done). That is why they actually believe in guilty until proven innocent. Just like when Axelrod was questioned about the WH claiming that foreign money was going into Republican campaigns. When the anchor said, where is the proof? Axelrod said "disprove it". You can't disprove something!! That is ridiculous...but that is how those lawyers think. They are all manipulators. You cannot prove a negative and they know it. But they are hoping we are too dumb to know better. Same goes for the fake racism charges.

I've never seen one instance of racism, of pandering to people who aren't white, or being condescending to people who aren't white. What I've seen is an acceptance of mutual philosophies and ideas about how this government was handed over to a bunch of left-wing socialists and how We, The People, need to correct that mistake.

One of the highlights is when old Petr Sykora holds the cup up and yells "I won the effing stanley cup!" Really good stuff.

Laura J. Martin, MD
Oct. 6, 2011 -- There was about a 60% increase in the estimated number of concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBI) seen among young athletes during the past decade, according to the CDC.
In 2001, there were an estimated 153,375 traumatic brain injuries among people from birth to age 19. This number rose to 248,418 in 2009.
Many of these injuries occurred among bicyclers, football players, and children in playgrounds. Basketball and soccer players are also at risk for TBI, according to a new report in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Exactly why we are seeing this uptick is not known, but "I believe this is, at least, in part due to increased awareness," says study researcher Julie Gilchrist, MD. She is a pediatrician with the CDC's Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention in the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control in Atlanta.
"We are hoping that awareness has gotten up to the point that parents, teachers, and coaches recognize the signs and symptoms of concussion and make sure that children are evaluated," she says.
These may include:
These don't necessarily occur right after a game or fall either, she says. "It takes time for symptoms to develop. So if they are showing signs on Monday it may be because of something that happened at Friday's football game."
In the new report, some differences in injury rates were seen based on a child's age and gender. About 71% of emergency room visits for sport- or recreation-related TBIs occurred in boys; 70.5% of all these visits were for children and young adults aged 10-19. Children from birth to age 9 were more likely to sustain head injuries while bicycle riding or during playground activities.
To help prevent concussion, bicyclers and football players should always wear a correctly fitted bike helmet. Conditioning exercises can build the strength and skills that can cut back on injury. "Obeying the rules of games and strict officiating can also reduce injuries in team sports," Gilchrist says.
Jeff Mjaanes, MD, director of the Chicago Sports Concussion Clinic at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, says that awareness of TBI in young athletes is definitely heightened. But, he says, these injuries may also be becoming more common.
"High school kids are bigger and stronger than in the past," Mjaanes tells WebMD. "They hit harder, the sports are more aggressive and they use their heads and helmets as a weapon."
Mark S. Dias, MD, is the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. He says that knowing the signs of concussion and getting prompt medical attention are crucial.
The way to treat a concussion is to rest the brain, he says.
"In those first several days, one should have mental rest as well as physical rest," Dias says. "This means avoiding things like homework, not watching TV, or playing on a computer or playing video games in the first few days after a concussion."
This is often called cocooning, he says. "Rest in a quiet, semi-dark room, with no bright lights and loud sounds."
The CDC and the National Football League have partnered to offer the "Heads Up to Clinicians: Addressing Concussion in Sports among Kids and Teens." This free online course is aimed at helping health care professionals recognize the symptoms of TBI in young athletes.

Shelby asks:
Does cooking oil evaporate?
The Olive Oil Source replies:
Volatile oils will evaporate in a few days or weeks, "fixed" oils are more resistant to evaporation. Most vegetable cooking oils are classified as fixed oils. However, if you set out a container of most cooking oils, it would partially evaporate very slowly over months to years leaving a sticky varnish. You can see this varnish on the sides of pots and baking pans where the process has been speeded up by heat.

A safe deposit box facility that offers "untraceable privacy" to its clients was recently raided by a trio of masked thieves, Las Vegas Metro police said Tuesday.
The robbery happened just after 5 a.m. Saturday at 24/7 Private Vaults on Sunset Road near McLeod Drive.
Authorities said the thieves restrained an employee and looted several of the boxes in the facility. The number of items stolen and their net worth was not immediately known.
Customers are being asked to contact the business to see if their boxes were accessed before calling police.
After that, Las Vegas attorney Bob Massi told FOX5 the customers may have trouble recovering their losses.
"You got to prove what was in the box," he said. "And in order to do that with an insurance company, trust me, insurance companies don't like to pay no matter what, so they have an uphill battle."
Established in 1999, 24/7 Private Vaults allows storage in safe deposit boxes and vaults that require an iris scan to open.
The business is known for its quirky commercials featuring founder Elliot Skaikin, who offers free lollipops with every tour.
While Metro Police wait for customers to report their losses, Massi believes many will not.
"The question ultimately is: Will these people who want to remain anonymous come forward? For example, it could be a spouse hiding cash from their spouse, and they're never going to come forward," he said.
Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

So this evening I backuped my phone and did a hard reset. It said that it will restart phone. I pressed okay and it turned off the phone and screen went black. Waited 5,10,15mins. Nothing appears on the screen and I can't even turn it on. Removed battery and put it back in and then it starts booting up [about 30-50seconds but usually it's faster] and then goes black screen like it's turned off.

The reset method above is not intended for public/general use to reset your phone. I is reserved for use as a last resort for a Nokia Care Point or repair centre before a flash of the phone to be able to bring it into a working state if it is not. This reset _will_ remove or make unusable some applications or may make the device become unstable.
The only two user-applicable options are:
Soft Reset; *#7780# possibly followed by security code (default is 12345)
This will reset the device settings to defaults. It does not delete any personal data or system files.
Hard Reset; *#7370 possibly followed by security code (default is 12345)
This will erase all custom data and return settings to default values. It will not change the system files.
If you used the key-combination method it would be a good idea to visit a Nokia Care point where they will be able to restore the original firmware (latest available version for your device) including apps or system files which will be removed using this reset method. This may not be covered under warranty though and will completely wipe all information from your device so make sure you create a backup in Nokia Suite before you have this done.
Hope this helps,

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A senior athletic department official at the University of Louisville has been named to lead the athletic department at a troubled school.
Julie Hermann, the senior associate athletic director and senior woman administrator at UofL, was introduced Wednesday afternoon as the new athletic director at Rutgers University.
Hermann, who spent 16 years at Louisville, replaces Tim Pernetti.
Pernetti resigned April 5 over fallout resulting from the scandal involving Mike Rice, the former men's basketball coach. Rice was fired after video became public that showed him abusing players during practice sessions.
In a statement released to WAVE 3 News, Tom Jurich, University of Louisville Vice-President and Director of Athletics said:
"I'm thrilled that Julie has been presented with this terrific opportunity. When I started here more than 15 years ago, I had known her previously and hand-picked her to help us build our programs. She has been a person I could count on throughout the past several years and we sincerely thank her for her many contributions. We've been through a lot together and I will miss her dearly. She has earned this opportunity and I'm confident she will go to work immediately to provide Rutgers a positive direction and be a terrific leader. I'm so happy for her."
Rutgers is leaving the Big East to compete in the Big Ten Conference.

So this is finished for the most part. She is all assembled, but I need the background paper. I am planning on using this peach paper and am waiting for my most recent paper order for more sheets of this to arrive before I glue her down. While I wait I'll start on the disorderly version. Chances are I'll be posted both of the final images around the same time.
I had to redo the hands twice, but I am happy I did it. Her fingers seem much more natural to me now and the problem I was having with her hair is also fixed.

La Jolla's Suella Steel to play for U.S. in Super-Seniors championships
By Phil Dailey
Staff Writer
La Jolla's Suella Steel will represent the United States next month at the U.S. Kitty Godfree Cup Team for women 65 and over.
Steel, 68, will be on the team for the 30th ITF Super-Seniors World Team Championships on red clay at Ali Bey Club Manavgat, Antalya, Turkey, Oct. 11-16. This annual event sponsored by the International Tennis Federation is comparable to Fed Cup and Davis Cup competition for professional tour players.
Last year, the team placed third.
"This is the biggest thrill, to represent the United States," Steel said. "It's unbelievable. There's a lot more pressure on you. When you're in a tournament for yourself, it's OK to lose, but it's not OK to lose for the United States."
Steel is one of a four-woman team chosen by the United States Tennis Association from the top American players in her age division. Her teammates include playing captain Betty Wachob (Panama City. Fla), Charleen Hillebrand, (San Pedro) and Lee Delfausse (Waitsfield, Vt).
"This is my 21st cup, and my fifth trip to Antalya," Steel said.
Steel, ranked No. 1 in the U.S. in 65 singles and doubles, offers valuable depth to the team. She has won 76 national championships including two gold slams in doubles and has won six ITF world doubles championships.
Steel was inducted into the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame in 2007 and the 2010 Southern California Senior Tennis Hall of Fame.
Steel, whose love for tennis runs deep, also teaches tennis at La Jolla Alta Master Council.
"Quite frankly, I like tennis because it's defined," Steel said. "The ball is either in, or it is out. There's no politics in it."

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Jubilant Mexicans are celebrating their 2-1 Olympic gold medal soccer win over Brazil Saturday, waving flags and chanting in plazas and streets across the country.
Crowds began gathering not long after the Mexican team scored its first goal in the first minute of play.
Fans in Mexico City, Guadalajara and other cities exploded in celebration as soon as the game ended, marking Mexico's first ever Olympic soccer gold medal. Some fans waving the country's red, white and green flag even took a victory lap around the capital's landmark Angel of Independence statue. Crowds are continuing to gather at the statue to celebrate.
Law student Arturo Castellanos watched the game from Mexico City's chic Condesa neighborhood, where he noted Mexico had marked another key win against Brazil in recent months.

Philadelphia Eagles' fans are well-known for their high level of football intellgence.
Bird fanatic Mike Lederer is no exception.
Lederer is an Eagles fan who has attended nearly every training camp practice to date. You can find all of his daily reviews on the official Philadelphia Eagles messageboard under the name "Sixerboy3". There, he offers fantastic and detailed insight on the highlights, lowlights, and player performances of the daily practices. It seems nothing gets by this guy. In fact, if you ask him nicely, he may even be able to tell you what Andy Reid had for lunch each and every camp day. ESPN's John Clayton couldn't even do that.
Alright, enough hyping up the man.
Because I loved his insights so much, I requested that he answer some questions of mine, that I feel most fans would like to know.
Question 1: Overall, what is the level of intensity at Eagles Training Camp? Has the losses of Jim Johnson, Stewart Bradley, and Juqua Parker made a difference in the excitement as of recently?
Mike: I feel that the level of intensity at training camp has been high this year. Andy Reid runs a very tight camp and it is amazing to see the difference in the details with Reid at the helm compared to coaches around the league. You don't see the ball on the ground constantly and players having to redo mistakes.
I think there has been a lot of adversity with this camp. The tragic loss of Jim Johnson started camp off on a very low note. Sean McDermott has the difficult task of taking over for Johnson and I feel that he has done a good job instructing the players and keeping that aggressive attitude that Philly fans have gotten used to seeing over the past decade. Of course, the big test for McDermott will be when he actually has to call the plays in a real game.
The loss of Stewart Bradley leaves a major void on the defensive side of the football. Joe Mays and Omar Gaither will be counted on to step into the middle and not just perform, but excel. Mays is a hard-hitting LB who will remind a lot of fans of a smaller Jeremiah Trotter. He has an uphill battle ahead of him but Mays can certainly lay the wood. From what I have seen over the past few days, Mays is very good in run defense and bringing pressure up the middle. However, he struggles running sideline to sideline and could be vunerable in pass coverage. Most Eagles fans know what Omar Gaither can do at MLB after watching him play there for the 2007 season. Gaither has been playing alongside Akeem Jordan at LB with the 1st team in their nickel package. I believe the coaches will take a long look at Joe Mays during the preseason and they will give the 2nd year LB out of North Dakota State every opportunity to win the MLB. There is no doubt however that the loss of a 3 down LB in Stewart Bradley is a big blow to the Eagles defense for the 2009 season.
The Juqua Parker incident will be an interesting storyline to follow throughout the rest of training camp. I will say that Tuesday afternoons practice (10-10-10) was the worst practice I have seen at Lehigh this year. With the injury to Victor Abiamiri and Chris Clemens being a pure pash rusher, I don't feel Parker's job is in jeopardy. But his arrest has definitely created another negative storyline at Lehigh.
Question 2: Name three players who have been "lights out" during training camp thus far.
Mike: Eagles fans will be happy to hear this. Desean Jackson has been the best player on the field at training camp. He is just blowing by defenders on the field and catching everything thrown in his direction. Desean has been matched up 1 on 1 throughout camp with Asante Samuel. It is great to watch two elite players go back and forth and push each other to improve. Some worry about a sophomore slump for the 2nd year player out of Cal, but from his performance at Lehigh, it looks like Jackson is poised to break out in a big way in 2009.
Rookie RB Lesean McCoy has not only been the best rookie on the field (no disrespect to Cornelius Ingram fans), but McCoy has been one of the best players on the field. Period. Often knocked for his blocking ability coming out of Pittsburgh, McCoy has shown that he is a more than adequate blocker. In one on one drills against LBs and DBs during the August 5th practice, McCoy had no problems at all picking up the blitz and taking hard blocks to the likes of Quintin Demps and Joe Mays. His running has also been outstanding. McCoy has shown a strong grasp of the offense and runs hard, fast, crisp routes. He also has only dropped one pass out of the backfield through the week that I have been here. Lesean is running exclusively with the 1st team offense and seems to be putting himself in a position to make a major impact in his rookie campaign.
Donovan McNabb has to be my 3rd choice for a player who is playing lights out during training camp. Everybody knows the story with McNabb and the fact that the Eagles have a two year window to win the Super Bowl. While McNabb isn't talking a lot, he is certainly letting his play do the talking. He still has the occasional throw in the dirt or bad read, but I have been very impressed with his accuracy during training camp. I also have to commend him for being in great shape. Donovan looks like he slimmed down in the offseason and looks to be in outstanding physical condition. Donovan also seems very relaxed during practice and looks like he is ready for another deep run.
Question 3: Name three players who have not been performing well during training camp thus far.
Mike: Speaking of QBs, Kevin Kolb has been incredibly disappointing during training camp. And this is coming from a Kevin Kolb believer. Kolb throws a great practice ball. When it is 1 on 1 drills, he hits receivers right on the money. However, once practice goes live, Kolb continues to struggle. He holds the ball way too long and many of his passes are underthrown. He also seems incredibly tentative to throw the ball down field. When he has taken chances, he has thrown a lot of interceptions. I will give Kolb the benefit of the doubt to an extent. It's tough being the QB for the 2nd team going up against the 1st team defense. There is constant pressure in the backfield.
The offensive line. While it's not a single player, the play of the offensive line has been very poor this camp. While Jason Peters, Shawn Andrews, and Stacey Andrews have missed almost all of camp due to injury, the rest of the offensive line has not stepped up. With preseason just a week away, it is a major concern of mine moving forward. I do not have faith in guys like Winston Justice and Max Jean Gilles to be starting offensive lineman on a Super Bowl contending team. It is imperative for the offensive line to get healthy and get used to working together or the team is going to struggle in the early portion of the season.
Rookie TE Eugene Bright has not been impressive during camp. It might seem like a minor position (3rd TE), but there was a good amount of talk about Bright having a chance to make the roster. He has dropped a lot of passes and his blocking seems subpar. For all of you Matt Schobel fans, it looks like his job is safe at this point.
Question 4: Provide a brief insight at the following players and their training camp performances:
Sean Jones
Sean Jones is a ball hawk. I have seen him intercept 3-4 passes over the past few days. Jones has been lining up as the 2nd team SS with Rashad Baker playing FS. He has done an adequate job covering TEs over the middle. It will be interesting to see how Jones progresses through the preseason.
Winston Justice
While the Eagles media department is saying that Justice has taken big strides in his development, I do not see it. I still see a lot of pressure coming off the right side when he is with the first unit. I could still be clouded by his performance against the Giants from 2007, but I would be very surprised to see Justice on the field for the Eagles in 2009.
Joe Mays
Mays is one of the key players to watch in training camp due to the season ending injury to Stewart Bradley. He is going to get every opportunity to win the starting MLB job. As I touched on earlier, Mays is a hard hitting LB that plays very well against the run. Over the past couple of days, you can see Mays gaining confidence playing with the first team. He still struggles a bit in pass coverage but has time to improve before the season starts. One thing I really like about Mays is that he is really decisive. When he commits to a gap, he goes all out trying to blow up the spot. Mays might not always succeed but he's going to give you his best. He will remind many fans of an undersized Jeremiah Trotter in the way he tries to blow up blockers.
Bryan Smith
The 3rd round pick from 2008 has had a quiet training camp. He has made plays throughout practice but doesn't stand out as much as I want him too. Smith looks like he has bulked up a bit from his rookie campaign. He is incredibly fast off the edge and was promoted to 2nd team LDE on Tuesday. His play in preseason will tell a lot about how Smith can contribute in 2009.
Jack Ikegwuonu
The mystery man. There has been a ton of hype around Ikegwuonu since he was drafted in the 4th round last year. Jack looks very fluid out on the field. He is not wearing a brace on his surgically repaired knee. He is smooth out of his cuts and plays physical at the line. However, I have seen Ikegwuonu beat way too many times this camp. It seems Desean Jackson, Kevin Curtis, and recently Jeremy Maclin have beaten him deep on multiple occasions. I see him as nothing more than a #5 corner this season.
Marcus Mailei
The rookie FB out of Weber State hasn't impressed much at training camp. Leonard Weaver has the starting FB spot wrapped up but Mailei has not much to keep his name is the discussion for a roster spot. He has struggled blocking bigger blitzing LBs and DL that get through the hole. Maybe a practice squad player but nothing more.
Question 5: Name a rookie who has impressed you the most so far. (EXCLUDING: Maclin, McCoy, Ingram)
Mike: (You're making me exclude the 3 best!) I would have to say that LB Moise Fokou has had a very good camp at the LB position. Fokou had a great practice on Thursday morning and was consistently in the backfield making plays. He also is very strong sideline to sideline. I think Fokou can be an impact player on special teams in his rookie season. Plus, the people in Philadelphia will love his name!
Question 6: Based on this year's training camp, give us a wacky prediction of anything or anyone in regards to the regular season.
Mike: I am normally pretty conservative in my predictions, but I will say that Desean Jackson is named to his first pro bowl in 2009. The kid just looks like he is ready to take that next step and be mentioned alongside other great #1 WRs in the NFL.
Question 7. Open forum: Say anything you would like to the Eagle faithful, in regards to this year's training camp.
Mike: While there have been several brightspots at camp, it is important to have realistic expectations for this team. There are still several question marks on the offensive line and the loss of Stewart Bradley is a big blow to the defense. If the team is able to get healthy and stay healthy, I see them being right in the mix to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. The season is just a month away. Get ready for a very exciting 2009 season!
There ya go, men.
I will try again to contact Mike sometime in the near future, to get an update on future training camp reports.

Tuesday February 16 2010 – 10:57pm Eastern – Toronto, ON
This blog was sort of inspired by my man Andre – who left a comment on my Feb. 14 blog/chat in regards to the statement that was made by Charles Barkley during the NBA All Star Weekend.
Barkley, referring to Raptors big man Chris Bosh, said "…Here goes the most underrated player in the NBA …"
Do I agree with Barkley's comment?
Sort of.
Perhaps "under-appreciated" would be a more fitting term.
Amongst coaches and general managers – and scouts and advisers and what not – Bosh is not underrated. Folks know how good this guy is.
And I don't know if he's "unappreciated" … because that would mean that nobody appreciates him … and we all know that that's not the case. If nothing else, folks in Toronto APPRECIATE Bosh. The fans do … the Raptors organization does. Heck, many in the T.O. media do too.
That's why I prefer to say that he's "under-appreciated" … i.e. … not appreciated enough.
That appreciation comes through coverage more than anything else.
Thus, to bring it back to Barkley … he's somewhat right … in a round about way. His employers – TNT – don't appreciate Bosh enough. They underrate his talent and lure. Ditto for the Raptors as a whole. And ditto for other major U.S. networks like ESPN and big-time publications and websites like ESPN.com/ESPN The Magazine, SI.com/Sports Illustrated, etc.
Let's be honest … the last few seasons haven't been glorious for Toronto — two first-round playoff exits and then last year's post-season no-show. So TNT and ESPN, et al can't be skewered too harshly for turning a blind eye to the Raps. However, ignoring Bosh is a different story. He has been the constant. To let him fly under the radar and not respect his game is akin to simply not doing your job. CB4 is one of the top big men in the league – arguably a top 3 power forward – and he's a 5-time All Star. He has nearly 40 double-doubles this year and he was one of the best players on the USA's gold-medal-winning team at the Beijing Olympics. Plus, he has helped Toronto to the second best record in the LEAGUE since early December; vaulting into the Top 5 overall in the East.
If he's still "underrated" after compiling those credentials, then folks south of the border simply aren't doing their homework. In today's day and age of satellite/digital TV and every kind of access available ONLINE with the click of a mouse, there's no reason to not know or value one of the best players in the NBA – whether he's on TNT's Thursday night sked (or EPSN's Monday or Friday night games) or not.
It's unfortunate that some will only take notice now that Bosh's looming free agent status is getting the most attention in the headlines — along with a ton of bogus trade rumors and theories about what the Dallas native may do and where he may land in July — as opposed to his (and his team's) play on the floor.
E. Smith
12 Responses to "Barkley On Bosh"
Most of the American Media and the folks that run TNT and ESPN are Anti-Canadian- Garth Joespeh
Well said. It's time for the people who call the shots south of the border to give Bosh the appreciation he's earned.- Lewickipedia
If not Bosh (and I agree) then who?- Veggamattic
indeed Smith,the ignorance of most americans as to the happenings outside the usa is shameful but even more so by media members not doing their due diligence.- jimt
Barkley saying something in a ROUND about way…..too funny from a round about athlete lol.
If Bosh was truly underrated by US media, there wouldn't be such a constant hum about his impending free agent status.
The former is just more manu-news; manufactured to have something to write about.
It's actually comical how many of these non-news stories have hit in the last few weeks. We couldn't just let the Raptors keep winning could we?
Playing time outrage when Evans comes back! NOT
Colangelo stolen by New Jersey or going to the Knicks. NOT
Toronto is a hockey town. No it's not. Who cares!?
And now Bosh is the most underrated as stated by no less than an authority than Charles Barkley.
Steven Smith is penning his next piece as we speak.
Even this morning, Gantner is wondering whether the Raps are too rested over the Grizzlies who are favoured by coming in late at night and play on the back to back.
The horror! Can nothing go right for the Raptors???- Gary
(insert appropriate sarcasm here).
When I was getting into the NBA for the first time, I always watched NBA Inside Stuff with MY MAN! Ammad Rashard lol. I always liked how the NBA was able to market its players even on the teams we hardly saw on TV. But now I find the NBA and the TV execs in the states want to dictate who is hot, who is not, and who should be playing where. Every team should get fair coverage whether positive or negative. Why is it that US outlets don't ask for Canadian journalists ie Eric, Paul, or Jack to come on their shows to give their opinions on the Raptors? And another thing why isn't anyone talking about the 400 million lost in revenue by the NBA, the impending lockout of 2011? We can talk for 2 seasons about where Lebron can go, why isn't Barkley chiming in with his colleauges about that?- Jason D
"…the last few years haven't been too glorious for the raps…"
Their entire 15 year existence hasn't been "glorious".
Why WOULD there be an interest in the raps south of the border?
I'm sure U.S. producers are fully aware of Bosh's achievements, but they also know that to feature the raps in a prime-time slot, is to get lousy numbers, just like Canadian producers know that a decent curling match will outdraw basketball.
It's not the job of the media to promote any individual or team, unless it serves their purposes.
We are all in agreement that the Jays should quit THEIR whining, go spend the money, and compete every year with the Yanks and the Sox. They have the potential to be, not only Toronto's team but also Canada's team…well worth the investment, imo.
Ditto for the raps. They're a good team. They're only one player (the right player) away from being a contender. Make it so… and THEN watch the interest grow; and THEN watch the media sit up and take notice; and THEN watch this snowball thing happen. Now is the time for this franchise to do something HUGE (they have lots of Leaf money).
In the meantime please quit this "woe-is-us-we-don't-get-no-respect" crap. It's counter-productive, unbecoming, and really, really annoying.- jim
Great remarks, Gary.
Who cares what the Round Mound of Rebound has to say. Or any commentator, for that matter.
With all due respect, Eric…I couldn't care less about most of the junk that gets spewed by tv sports personalities. I could do without them – just call the game, and let me generate my own thoughts about the sport.
Just call the game.
Dan Shulman has done it, so simply yet so eloquently for twenty years. His intelligence, and objectivity, shine through. That's all we should ever ask for. Talk about another Canadian legend, huh?
You know, there are cities in the "less-traveled" parts of the US (ie. the Northwest) that have the same complaints about the East Coast cities and fans. Great hockey and basketball players that never get respect because they play in another time zone and thus don't get equal exposure.
There's always someone whining about something. I'm so tired of it.
Face fact, folks. Until Chris Bosh plays in a major US market, he will NEVER receive the attention he does in Canada.
And, there's nothing wrong with that. Just play ball, earn your tens of millions, and be a role model for your young fans. That's it.- brento.
loved barkley's other comment in regards to nate robinson drinking the gaterade pouch pre-slam dunk contest: "notice how gaterade doesn't work for people who suck?"- smitty
look at the power forward position throughout history and you'll notice that it just isn't that glamorous a position. josh smith was overlooked for this year's all-star selection for his undeserving, albeit talented, team mate al horford. kg has received most of his recognition because of his defensive prowess – an aspect of the game that bosh doesn't entirely excel at. dirk lacks "power" in the traditional boarding and blocking sense..
i see bosh fitting in to the same grey area where most of his power-forward counterparts find themselves and thus, there is nothing too unique about him being under-appreciated/rated/whatever. if you're chalking it up to a u.s. media bias, look no further than the flashy play of one sg vince carter and the attention he received throughout his toronto tenure.
I watched the all star game and thought Bosh was getting a lot of airtime. Also everytime CB4 touched the ball commentator Doug Collins always mentioned CB4′s improved play this year. I think CB did well over the All star break just by the way he played. If CB4 keeps it up he will get noticed everywhere!- Neil
Jim – fair comment about the 15 years. Fair comment. However, you're wrong about the ratings. It's not 'cause they won't get the ratings due to curling or hockey or whatever else. One of the big reasons has to do with the inability to register Canadian viewers on U.S. networks. And even further to that — and possibly more important — is the fact that ADVERTISERS wouldn't get bang for their buck … cause their commercials wouldn't be seen in Canada at all.
Further to that … just to make the point … I didn't say anything about the Raptors being on TV more. I simply said that certain members of the media (in the US) need to work on their homework a little more RE: with BOSH, not necessarily the RAPTORS.- Eric Smith
Go Raptors Go!- Raps Fan

Oh hey!
So much is going on in my brain right now. I'm slowly making progress through infinite projects - so things are okay. On the other hand, I've got infinite papers to write in the next seven days and that makes me sort of sad - but the light at the end of the tunnel is so close, it's just a matter of getting there eventually.
Large steps are being made in slow-motion with my short film. And on top of that, I would like to announce it's screening on May 17th! Along with the premier of my newest, shiniest short film, I am assembling a super-team of projects from other filmmakers in the city. It will be full of awesome short films, super rad music videos, trailers for upcoming features, and webseries previews! It's going to be super great, and the program gets more exciting with each passing day. If you follow my film Tumblr (here) there will be filmmaker bios, printable posters, and lots of other fun stuff. The Facebook event is also up!
The past three months have been tedious. It's an exhaustion associated with school, it's like the itch I can't scratch because I'm paying not to itch it or something. It's weird. I'll be very pleased to leave University for good. I'm sure a more lengthy retrospective on the topic will be at hand upon completion.
Needless to say, I can't wait to fall in love with film again this summer.
First Year Screening is THIS WEDNESDAY!
SFU Student Composers in Concert is THIS THURSDAY!
Second Year Screening is NEXT WEEK!
Third Year Screening is on the 22nd!
Fourth Year Screening kicks off the month of May!
My Screening! Plan your May long weekend with some cinema!
