Yup, most of these fools want quality women, but quality women want nothing to do with them.
What I don't get is a lot of the men writing this sort of BS would not give BW the time of day before. So why are they now so obsessed with them?
@jazzyfae45 I'm not shocked either, a lot of losers get it twisted. They think we will take anything and just be happy to have a man. I have been approached by these types and the rejection is usually a shock for theme and doesn't end well. The thing is it's not that these guys are overweight, much older or not very attractive; it's the simple fact that they are nasty and have a stank attitude. I can pick up on shaky vibes from a mile away, this sort of thing doesn't fly with me.
Congrats Matthew! You look amazing!
@SirLoinDeBeef @oekmama Congrats on the weight loss SirLoin! I have begun to cook from scratch(stock, bread and 75% of my food) I have also become more diligent with portion control. My Aunt is a type 2 diabetic and she has no collagen left on her joints she is back on insulin and her weight is out of control. She was slim and athletic as a young woman but began to overeat as an emotional coping mechanism.
Her marriage was miserable and her husband and son were both completely unsupportive(son is now 41 has never held a job and has never paid any bills). This is why I am so passionate about black women's health and well-being. I have seen too many women in my family "weather the storm" at the expense of their own health.
Sorry to hear this about your sister.
Remember, there is no expiration date stamped on us.
@oceanspray The entire lecture is basically Blackistan at its finest
There is so much wrong with this entire lecture that I can't even...
Women should not report a rapist because it might ruin his future? What the hell? Rapist need to be locked up, we don't need violent offenders roaming the streets. If said rapist doesn't want his life ruined then he should have thought about that before he decided to rape. This is why so many pedophiles and predators are never caught in the black community, it's swept under the rug because the girl was "fast" and it might ruin the pedophiles future. Such bullshit.
Women need to watch how they dress in order to avoid rape? Seriously? You can be wearing a burlap sack or covered from head to toe, a rapist doesn't care. Isn't it funny how black women are told to be more feminine and put more effort into their appearance, yet when they do so they are "sluts", begging for male attention, and therefore deserving of rape. You cannot win.
Mr. Lincoln is just a prime example of everything that is wrong with higher education, instead of telling young men to respect boundaries, and you know, not sexually assault women he is shifting the blame onto women. He is a prime example of an arrogant, self-centered, entitled asshole masquerading as an intellectual; the very type of asshole that is now so prolific on college campuses.
@Patricia Kayden Diito, if you don't want to ruin your life then don't commit crimes, end of story.
@seemebeautiful I can't believe this is the direction an HBCU is headed in. The founders must be rolling in their graves.
@KingsDaughter @LorMarie I have some gray and I am 23. Some people just go gray at an earlier age than others(my uncle was only 25 when he was 50% gray, he still looked about 18 in the face though). Most people just think I am a college kid experimenting with color...
@EqualOppLover Ancient Aliens FTW
@friendswmimi I'm catching up on sleepy hollow, I used to watch reality TV from time to time but I stopped completely last year. It's just way to effed up and degrading at this point. Don't even get me started on blood sweat and heels....
@jazzyfae45 I don't get this either and I am not a big Scandal fan, but the logic of mistress=bad and feral animal=OK don't make any sense to me.
Here is what helped me overcome the feelings of worthlessness I hope it helps someone else:
1.) If you are truly depressed seek professional help, a good therapist can change your life. There is no shame admitting that you have a problem, none.
2.) Choose happiness and self-love over the opinions of others. At the end of the day these people do not pay your bills or enrich your life. Verbal abuse is the only form of control these people have left, and they will have nothing once you stop paying them any mind.
3.) Stop comparing yourself to others and focus on being the best you. Think about the features you love about yourself, and find ways to enhance them. This doesn't have to just be physical, you should also include personality traits as well as intellectual qualities.
You also have to understand that the "overweight, twerking baby mama" image of black women does not apply to everyone. These people are ignorant. Everyone has a preference, and we cannot make someone change that, but understand that while this guy might feel this way there are 10 more who love black women.
@jazzyfae45 I had the same issue, growing up my teachers and a few other adults would always say "you are beautiful, give it 10 years and you will see". I didn't see it(in hindsight everyone around me clearly felt I was a late bloomer, but I wanted recognition right then). I also saw all of the "black women are pigs" videos pop up on YouTube. I eventually had to tell myself that these opinions couldn't hurt me, and that it was ultimately my decision to be happy. I chose happiness and self love over the cruel statements and opinions of others and I have not looked back since.
@trinigirl1 @Brenda55 I wanna look like you when I am in my 50's, so stunning!
@SirLoinDeBeef @mzsunshine I'm naturally light brown, minus the future leather bag look. Entitled sun worshippers can lie and hate all they want, I KNOW if I had a pill that could give them that skin color they would take it.
Heck if I made an "age like a black woman" vitamin I would be filthy rich....
@Ri74 Raw coconut oil FTW. I don't know how I ever survived winter without it, it's great for everything: cooking, body oil, hair treatment, scalp treatment, dry patches....
@mzsunshine girl you are so wrong lol
@lindsaynagle I'm 23, I prefer older men(30-35) but I mainly get hit on by frat boys and guys anywhere from 18-20. I tell them I have a younger sister, some are quite mature though(this 20 year old firefighter looked like a young Ioan Gruffudd so I flirted back, he was cute).
@LadyHumor @BreannaNouveaux I upped my game this summer with daily sunblock, and making it a point to use a body scrud weekly and moisturize daily. I have always maintained a cleansing and moisturizing regimen for my face, but I have skimped on body care and sunblock this past winter and spring.
@NYMan @zipporah I think the one thing everyone should be doing to protect their skin is use sunblock consistently. Black women of all shades naturally have an advantage due to thicker skin and more melanin(less wrinkles and less sagging). When I look at some of my sun-worshipping classmates from high school I am a little shocked. Most of these women are only 22-25 and are already showing obvious signs of aging.
I really think obesity and stress undo a lot of black women. Even then black women still tend to have better skin than others.
Facially I look like my mother but body-wise I take after my father(tall and naturally athletic looking), no idea where I might end up based on that. My mother looked very young until her mid-40's then suddenly her age began to show(according to her), dad is in his 60's with minimal gray hair. On the other hand I am 23 and most of my former co-workers had no idea I was already in my 20's.
@Neecy Agree 100%, some women need to realize that the church isn't God. It's not the churches fault. I think a lot of these churches are running a scam and using God as a means to brainwash people, but it is entirely up to the patrons to read the word of Christ and interpret that on their own. Some people have attended church for years and still don't know the Ten Commandments.
I am sorta torn on this. I know this will receive attention, but what about all the black women who have been killed for rejecting a mans advances?
@Neecy I think devotion to God vs. devotion to the pastor needs to be established. A lot of women picture the pastor as their husband and hold onto the ideal black man trope. If someone truly knows the word of Christ then he or she knows that believers do have authority and free will in their lives, and that it is up to them to discern whether or not a church is for them. Another issue is people hold on to the idea that anytime something messed up happens that God intended it. God isn't behind everything, sometimes things are the fault of other human beings(like rape, accidents, and murder) or a result of poor decision making(like being a baby mama). People like to pretend the free will clause does not exist. The brainwashing is deep, it took one of my friends years to realize that God did not intend for her to be raped as a kid(yes, someone actually told her that her rape was God's will).
From my experience some of the most judgmental self-proclaimed Christians are the biggest hypocrites. You have people who are truly devoted to God(not a church or pastor but the lord himself), and then you have these people.
Really, how many times have we encountered the never married professional baby daddy calling himself a man of god?
My thought is if these people really wanted women to be devoted to the teachings of Christ then they would encourage young black women and men to go on missions(travel=life experience and exposure to other cultures), not encourage them to put more money in the pastors pocket.
For me the past secrets are not sexual. As a teenager I dabbled in drugs and the occult. Some people find it interesting and want to know what made me change my mind, others think I made a pact with Satan and run the opposite direction ASAP.
I just don't share that little tidbit about myself anymore in conversations. It's irrelevant at this point and no one really needs to know.
Agree 100%.
Many people are contented in dysfunction and suffering. They either fail to see what they are doing and how they are living is detrimental, think that having a messed up life is what God/fate/the universe intended for them and that fighting it is futile, or they are invested in seeing others lives in discontent because is assures them how they are living is normal.
The sheer amount of grown men and women who become outraged when you tell them to take responsibility for their dating and reproductive choices is appalling. These are adults that refuse to acknowledge that screwing anything that moves without protection is a bad choice. They refuse to realize that dating losers and ex-cons is an all-around terrible idea. They refuse to admit that being a "playa" and trying to up their notch count comes with potential consequences. They refuse to own their decisions and instead hide behind the thin veils of feigned outrage, cries of "slut shaming", and accusations of misandry or misogyny. No matter what it is never their fault they decided to partake in all kinds of trifling behavior and they refuse to accept the consequences. Not everything is God or Satans fault. Not everything is the white mans fault. You can't blame every mishap in your life on social injustice or coincidence; that is bullshit.
What is my point here? My point is yes, sometimes life throws you for a loop, but 95% of your current situation is in your control. A lot of people are content with living in a detrimental situation. They have absolutely no desire to change it, there are also others who refuse to call a spade a spade and will assist them in defending dysfunction. The amount of people who will willingly co-sign, defend and protect trashy, trifling ,and outright pathetic behavior is staggering.
@darkandlovely @nyaw I grew up in the southwest and I agree. If a Latino man thinks you are beautiful and wants to date you he makes it known.
Wow, you are gorgeous. Grad school and med school are the perfect places to meet guys. One thing I have learned is you have to really make it known you are available, I am quite shy so I have had to teach myself to be a little more flirtatious and I had to become better at reading signals. Read between the lines, men of different races might not be as forward as black men or Latino men. Another thing to consider is you are quite beautiful, some guys might think that you are already off the market and therefore will not approach.
@lindsaynagle I'm 5'10(well, more like 5'9.5) and a few men are intimidated. I also get approached by men a few inches shorter most of the time(and most of them are HOT). I don't mind a guy being shorter than me, I appreciate a good looking man regardless of height.
I know that more than a few black men only care about thick thighs and a big butt. They don't care what your face looks like or the rest of you, as long as your butt and thighs are big they are down. It's mainly lower class(read: ghetto) men, but a few well to do men feel the same way.
@JanGibson I don't feel sorry for her at all. There are cases of real racism and real police brutality and she made a mockery of them. On top of that she has zero class.
@Law Wanxi IDK the cop is pretty cute, I actually prefer men who are not heavily muscled, the whole bodybuilder look does nothing for me.
@jazzyfae45 I honestly thing they probably would have been let off more easily had they not created that media fiasco/attention whoring mess, again just my opinion.
@jazzyfae45 If there is one thing I have learned it's that men want to feel like the woman they are with is a prize in some way shape or form. NOTHING is more unattractive to a man than a desperate woman who will put up with just about anything to get his attention.
It's true, even on web development forums I notice this trend. There are usually very few black men dishing out business advice and the majority of the ones that do are foreign(Nigerian, Jamaican, Somali etc.).
"The preferences of black men don't really bother me because i'm not dead set on ONLY dating black men, I know that there ARE men out there who don't think of black women as the bottom of the barrel, in fact WE ARE their preference. And I choose to focus on that. "
As I get older the more I realize it's easier to focus on the people that do like you, than gripe about the ones who can't stand you. Happy I learned this before 30.
@Oaktown Paul @marie_christine2
It's like these women have Stockholm syndrome. That or they actually enjoy being publicly humiliated and abused.
What's more pathetic is black men suddenly take interest in a black woman if white men find her attractive. It's like the thought process is "The white gods find her attractive, she must be worth it".
I always say this but you deserve someone who thinks you're the bees knees and vice versa. That man could be black, but he could also be Asian, Latino, or White. You should be with someone who reciprocates your love and respect, they should enjoy you and want to spend time with you. You should not be with someone who just "tolerates" you.
@The Working Home Keeper A recipe section would be nice, I like cooking, I'm learning to make homemade bread this week.
Can there be a careers section? For people changing careers, working in hybrid careers, career advice and dress tips etc.
Also maybe a tech sub forum in the entrepreneur section. I am trying my hand at freelance web design(I live in an area where there are literally no tech jobs and have decided to make my own) and would like to talk to other tech geeks.
How long will this be open? I won't have money to spare until Tuesday.
@SirLoinDeBeef @thecrazyartist
Yeah, but those guys are usually not given a pass
@kennaGransberg @thecrazyartist I know, said guy is now in his early 30's and is still doing the same things he was 9 years ago. I never dated him(my parents would have freaked out), but I did regret not taking up his offer for a while. I am still quite sheltered and a little naïve(I am 23 now), but over the past nine years I have really grown as a person and matured. All I can think is "how was I so dumb back then?". Back then I just thought it was cool he had a car!
I had a huge crush on one of my friends older brothers when I was 14. I never fully acted on it or dated him, but he made it clear he was more than willing to give it a shot. He was 22, looking back on it I wonder what I ever saw in him. He was very good-looking and as a hormone riddled 14 year old I probably failed to see past that.

DEFINITION of 'Ring Trading'
The method by which certain types of investment business is conducted at the London Metal Exchange (LME), where trading activity occurs within a six-meter diameter circle with two large display boards that show current prices. Each of the ring dealing members have a fixed seat within the ring, behind which an assistant is permitted to stand to pass orders to the ring dealing member, and to liaise with customers regarding market conditions.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Ring Trading'
Trading activity takes place in designated five-minute long periods known as "rings". Ring sessions are divided by trading instrument; for instance, steel trading takes place during the first session from 11:40am-11:45am (local time) and 1:05pm-1:10pm; and during the second session at 3:30pm-13:35pm. Ring trading at the LME occurs between 11:40am and 5:00pm; inter-office telephone trading is available 24 hours a day.

In a recent post to the CCIF mailing list, Bob Marcus outlined the coming opportunties and challenges facing what he described as "Government Cloud Storefronts". In the post he described Vivek Kundra's (US Federal CIO) vision for the creation of a government Cloud Storefront. This Storefront (run by GSA) which will be launched Sept 9th and will make Cloud resources (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) available to agencies with in the US federal Government. (an $80+ Billion a year IT organization).
What's also interesting is the US isn't alone in the vision of centralized access points for procuring Cloud services and related applications. Several other governments including the United Kingdom G-Cloud app store and the Japanese Kasumigaseki Cloud are attempting to do the same with Japan spending upwards of 250 million dollars on their initiative.
Kundra, speaking at a recent conference at the National Defense University on cloud computing elaborated on his GovApp Store concept "Any agency can go online and agencies will be able to say 'I'm interested in buying a specific technology' and we will abstract all the complexities for agencies. They don't have to worry about Federal Information Security Management Act compliance. They don't have to worry about certification and accreditation. And they don't have to worry about how the services are being provisioned. Literally, you'll be able to go in as an agency… and provision those on a real-time basis and that is where the government really needs to move as we look at standardization. This will be the storefront that will be simple."
According to Marcus, "There are strong initial efficiency benefits (reduced procurement time and costs) gained by providing government projects with controlled access to multiple Cloud resources. However unless a set of best practices are followed, there could be negative long-range results such as lack of portability and interoperability across Cloud deployments."
Ed Meagher, former deputy CIO at the Interior and Veterans Affairs departments also sheds some light on the topic saying, "The challenge will be working in both worlds and making those two worlds work together. There's going to be lot of pressure on the [federal] CIO community to help this administration do the things it wants to do, like making government more efficient, more accessible to citizens and more transparent."
I could not agree more. But I also don't think the US Federal GovApp store requires standardization so much as transparency into the underliying processes that support the so called "running" of the app store.
Some thoughts that come to mind include, who exactly is building this app store, how will it be managed, what oversight will it have and how can we prevent abuse (halliburton style contracts anyone?) or even Apple's Iphone app store style "vendor lockout". These are much more important questions that need to be addressed first.
To help solve these issues on September 21, the Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC) will host an open free Session on "Best Practices for Cloud Storefronts" at its Virginia Plenary. The focus will be on recommended minimal standardizations (and compliance tests) for Cloud resources that are included in Storefront. Government IT leaders (e.g. GSA) will be invited to participate in the Session.

LA Clippers finalize Doc Rivers' move from Boston
LOS ANGELES -- After weeks of negotiations and intrigue, Doc Rivers has officially left the Boston Celtics for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Rivers will be introduced as the Clippers' new coach and senior vice president of basketball operations at a news conference Wednesday at their Playa Vista training complex, capping a lengthy process by completing a rare trade involving a championship-winning coach.
The Clippers and Celtics finalized the move Tuesday when the NBA approved the deal. Boston will get an unprotected first-round pick in 2015 from the Clippers for Rivers, who went 416-305 and won the 2008 NBA title during nine seasons with the Celtics.
Boston's front office mostly had warm words for Rivers after he took off for his exciting new team on the West Coast, apparently not eager to stick around for the aging Celtics' rebuilding process.
"We don't have a championship without Doc Rivers coaching," said Danny Ainge, the Celtics' president of basketball operations. "He did an unbelievable job. He has a long history of great success with us in the last nine years, and we wish him the best in Los Angeles."
Rivers is likely to be the NBA's highest-paid coach with the deal, and he'll also have a prominent role in the Clippers' front office with his additional title.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling will expect impressive results for such an investment, but his long-suffering franchise has never been in better shape on the court -- providing Los Angeles re-signs Chris Paul, who is eligible for a five-year contract worth nearly $108 million in July. Paul is widely expected to stick with the Clippers, and Rivers' arrival might cinch the deal.
With Boston likely to spend the next few years revamping, Rivers seized the chance to take over one of the league's most compelling young teams. He was eagerly pursued by the Clippers, who are coming off the best regular season in franchise history with a roster built around Blake Griffin and Paul.
"He felt like it was time for a change," Ainge said. "He felt like we all needed a change. That was his rationalization or justification for going to the Clippers, that this was better for everybody. I don't think there should be any resentment. I know how Boston fans are. This may be a win-win for everybody."
The 51-year-old Rivers replaces Vinny Del Negro, who wasn't re-signed after the Clippers won a franchise-record 56 games and their first Pacific Division title last season. Los Angeles' first-round playoff loss to Memphis likely cost Del Negro, who went 128-102 over three years and became the only Clippers coach to post consecutive winning seasons in 35 years.
Rivers' new deal is expected to be similar to the three years and $21 million that remained on his contract with the Celtics. Boston was knocked out of the first round of the playoffs by New York last month, and Rivers gradually became more interested in the Clippers' vacancy than the Celtics' rebuilding process.
The negotiations for Rivers proceeded deliberately and abruptly over the past two weeks, with several potential moves discussed by the franchises. Ainge would have welcomed Rivers back to the Boston bench, but Rivers apparently saw the Clippers as a golden opportunity.
"Sometimes you've got to let your good people go to pursue what they need to pursue to make themselves happy," Celtics President Rich Gotham said. "While it's tough to see Doc go, I think we feel good about what he did here. We will be lucky to find as good a coach as Doc was."
Los Angeles also spoke to Boston about acquiring star forward Kevin Garnett in another element of the trade involving Rivers, but NBA Commissioner David Stern won't allow teams to trade active players for a coach.
Garnett and Southern California native Paul Pierce won't be reuniting with Rivers in Los Angeles any time soon: Ainge said the NBA has forbidden player trades between the two teams for the rest of the year, and both aging stars are under contract for next season. Garnett has discussed the possibility of retirement with two years and over $23.5 million left on his deal, while Pierce is due to make $15.3 million next season.
Rivers played one season for the Clippers in 1991-92 during his 13-year NBA career, and they made the playoffs that season for the first time since the former Buffalo Braves moved to the West Coast in 1978. Los Angeles has made only five playoff appearances and won just two rounds since that season.
But the Clippers are coming off the best two-season stretch in club history, and Rivers' arrival further alters the franchise's decades-long reputation.
Rivers will be an intriguing match with the high-flying Clippers and their Lob City acrobatics, but his coaching pedigree and leadership skills will provide him with immediate credibility in his new locker room.
Rivers' Boston teams played at a more deliberate pace than last season's Clippers often used last season, but the veteran coach is likely to adapt his offensive plans to fit the Clippers' talent. Rivers' impact on Los Angeles could be felt most on defense, where the Clippers often struggled last season despite their lofty record.
After his playing career ended in 1996, Rivers went into broadcasting before serving as the Orlando Magic's head coach for just over four seasons from 1999-2003, going 171-168 and winning an NBA coach of the year award. He is one of four active NBA coaches who have won a championship.

If you're looking for a rewarding way to spend an evening, might I suggest avoiding the cineplex. There are a few worth seeing that you can watch from the comfort of your home. Here's what's out:
If you are not in the mood for car chases, gun battles, nuclear threats or absurd premises, then I suggest you stay home and rent Silver Linings Playbook. When a Tom Cruise-driven, alien-invasion, end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it extravaganza grosses $5 million opening weekend, you know there are some movies out there resetting the bar. So if you are craving salty snacks, an overpriced soda and some state-of-the-art computer-generated imaging, you won't be disappointed…And, action!
OK. If your Oscar checklist is complete, and you are nauseated by the options at the cineplex—as well you should be—there is a silver lining. Not Silver Linings Playbook yet, but you have options. There are some great DVDs that came out this week, so if you want to stay in and hunker down with a good movie, these are my suggestions:
Let me start off by saying that had I written my traditional list of Oscar predictions—for which I have a remarkably accurate record. Well, I would have failed miserably this year. This had to have been one of the most unusual, scattered, unpredictable, Academy Awards I have ever seen. That being said, I am prepared to eat a little crow and perhaps do a little Monday morning-quarterbacking.
February is finally here, which means Oscar season is finally here. Nevertheless, the hangover of the January curse still lingers. So I have compiled a list of dos and don'ts, if you are so inclined to head to the theater in the next couple of weeks. These are the dos.
The Baldwin Report
It's that time of year when A-list actors wait patiently by the phone and pretend that awards mean nothing (and that approval from colleagues and fans is recognition enough), but hoping against hope that their agent calls to tell them they got an Oscar nomination. The nominations were announced last week, and I must say there were a few surprises…and not the good kind.
I sound like a broken record when I complain about romantic comedies: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back. The film has to follow the formula or the audience is disappointed. So how does a screenwriter inject originality into that formula? Are the characters unknowingly related (gross)? Is one limbless or royal or Dutch? Or…mentally ill?

2013 VOODOO Music Festival Pre-Sale Tickets Now Available
Having established itself as the longest running U.S. music festival in the modern era--taking place every year since 1999--the VOODOO MUSIC + ARTS EXPERIENCE will celebrate its 15th anniversary November 1, 2 and 3, 2013 in New Orleans, LA. An early VOODOO Holiday pre-sale, for both entry to VOODOO and on-site camping, begins today at www.thevoodooexperience.com. The 15th anniversary VOODOO celebration will mark debut of new permanent home in historic City Park.
This special VOODOO Holiday pre-sale--of a limited number of weekend passes and special camping rates--kicks off today (Monday, December 17). VOODOO holiday prices are as follows: Weekend credentials: $99; Loa credentials (VIP): $300; Loa (VIP) credentials with parking: $350. Camping options include: Weekend Camping for (2) two persons (including Weekend Credentials for VOODOO) for $248. This option allows campers to arrive to their 12x12 site with their own tent. Amenities include: 24-hour security, medical assistance, showers, AM and PM food trucks and other activities. Loa Camping (luxury camping) for two (2) persons (including artist credentials for the special behind the fences access and Loa privileges) for $2,500. These ready-to-go, pre-built safari tents include beds, linens, furniture, carpet, electricity, premium showers, bathrooms, 24-hour security and medical assistance, breakfast, late night snacks and more.
"Fifteen years ago we started an experiment dubbed 'worship the music,' a project designed to follow and celebrate the drumbeat first heard in Congo Square and the evolution into what many would consider today's modern music," says Stephen Rehage, the founder/producer of VOODOO. "Out of those efforts came the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, a musical experiment dedicated to people who love great music of all kinds. Voodoo's a place where you see Preservation Hall Jazz Band playing 'St James Infirmary,' while just across the field 73,000 people are singing along to Rage Against the Machine's 'Killing in the Name Of,' or the spontaneous pairing of something like the Red Hot Chili Peppers performing a 12-minute unrehearsed version of 'Clap Your Hand Say Yeah' with the Original Meters. What started as an experiment is, now fifteen years later, something we are proud to share."
The 15th anniversary VOODOO celebration will mark the debut of City Park's Festival Grounds, a new permanent home for VOODOO. Home to the VOODOO since its 1999 debut--with the exception of 2005 VOODOO which was displaced by the city's hurricane damage--New Orleans' 1,300 acre City Park is the region's principal recreation site that attracts over seven million visitors each year.
VOODOO is distinguished as the final musical celebration of the annual U.S. music festival season, and the 2013 VOODOO 15th anniversary weekend line-up will feature top-tier and innovative artists from a variety of musical genres, plus reflect the multitude of cultures that define this historic and beloved American city. Once again, concert-goers will worship the music at VOODOO's six unique performance areas, each of which is enhanced by the use of interactive art.
More details about the credential options and the most up-to-date information on VOODOO 2013 can be found at www.thevoodooexperience.com. 2013 VOODOO partners include: Toyota and Bud Light. More information about the 2012 VOODOO can also be found at www.thevoodooexperience.com. The Voodoo Music + Arts Experience is a Rehage Entertainment Event.

A remake can always be a dicey proposition. The 2011 version of Footloose manages to entertain while maintaining the spirit of the 1984 original. While it isn't a deeply moving drama, the film is more than just pop music and dancing.
Home Theater Forum's Neil Middlemiss reviewed the Blu-ray release and had these thoughts:
This 1080p High Definition release is presented with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio and has a lush look and feel, beautifully representative of the Super 35 film stock upon which it was captured, with bold bursts of green and sunny yellows and gold awash over the rural scenes.
The surrounds are superbly balanced giving a complete and surprisingly immersive quality to the audio. The center channel carries the lion's share of dialogue and is perfectly crisp.

Born in New York on May 12, 1962, Estevez is the eldest son of actor Martin Sheen (formerly known as Ramon Estevez) and his wife, Janet. He grew up on Manhattan's Upper West Side with his two younger brothers, Ramon and Charlie, and his younger sister, Renée. Though Estevez started attending school in the New York public school system, he transferred to a prestigious private academy once his father's career blossomed. In 1968, after Sheen landed a starring role in Catch-22 (1970), the family moved west to Malibu, CA. There, the young Estevez began writing short stories and poems. By the time he turned eight, he had already submitted a script to Rod Serling's Night Gallery television series (it was, unfortunately, rejected).
When Estevez was 11, his father bought the family a portable movie camera. Estevez, his brother Charlie, and their friends, Sean and Chris Penn, and Chad and Rob Lowe, used it to make short films, which Estevez would often write. He then began acting in all the junior high school plays, including The Dumb Waiter, Hello Out There, and Bye, Bye, Birdie. While accompanying his father to the Philippine set of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now (1979), Estevez got his first professional acting role as a messenger boy in the film. His scene, however, did not make the picture's final cut. After returning home to attend Santa Monica High School, Estevez grew interested in sports and did not become involved with the drama department until his senior year. Uninspired by the usual high school productions, he wrote an original play and drafted Sean Penn to direct it. Titled "Echoes of an Era," the story was based on the life of a Vietnam vet whom Estevez met while staying in the Philippines. Around the same time, he landed his first professional stage role opposite his father in Mr. Roberts at the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theater in Jupiter, FL.
Estevez made his small-screen debut right after graduating from high school. He appeared in the ABC After School Special Seventeen Going on Nowhere (1980), before joining his father in the cast of To Climb a Mountain (1981), an installment of the religious television series Insight. In 1981, after returning from India where he served as his father's stand-in during the taping of Gandhi (1982), Estevez landed his first feature-film role opposite Matt Dillon in Tex (1982). The film marked the first of three adaptations of S.E. Hinton's books in which Estevez would appear. A year later, he starred in Francis Ford Coppola's unforgettable adaptation of her novel The Outsiders (1983), with Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, C. Thomas Howell, and Ralph Macchio.
By 1983, Estevez found himself on the short list of young actors. Oliver Stone asked him to star in his Academy Award-winning Vietnam film Platoon (1986), but the director could not finance the project in time (Estevez's brother, Charlie, took the role five years later). Instead, Estevez decided to play a punk rocker turned car repossessor in Alex Cox's Repo Man (1984). Co-executive produced by former Monkee Mike Nesmith, the wacky comedy also starred cult favorite Harry Dean Stanton and was a lasting underground hit. Estevez next gave a successful reading for John Hughes' The Breakfast Club (1985), a film about five very different high school kids who are forced to spend a Saturday morning together in detention. Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy rounded out the cast in what turned out to be the quintessential teen angst film of the '80s.
On the set of The Breakfast Club, Estevez refined a screenplay he had begun writing with Tom Cruise while working on The Outsiders. Based on another S.E. Hinton novel, That Was Then...This Is Now (1985) went into production under the auspices of Paramount and director Christopher Cain, with Estevez as its star. It opened to scathing reviews and little praise for its young writer, but was a moderate box-office success.
Estevez's next role featured him as a recent college graduate opposite Rob Lowe, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, and Mare Winningham in St. Elmo's Fire (1985). The film debuted at the same time as a New York magazine cover story that labeled its actors (many of whom had worked together before) as the Brat Pack and elected Estevez as the "unofficial president" of the group. The actor immediately tried to shake the moniker with a part in Stephen King's directing debut, Maximum Overdrive (1986), but the film flopped. He then tried his own hand behind the camera. At age 23, he wrote, directed, and starred in Wisdom (1985), making cinematic history as the youngest feature filmmaker to take on all three roles. The picture, a meandering heist/road film, flopped.
Estevez revived his career with Stakeout (1987), a hit action-comedy that co-starred veteran actor Richard Dreyfuss, and Young Guns (1988), a successful youth-oriented Western helmed by That Was Then...This Is Now director Christopher Cain. The actor reprised his Young Guns role as Billy the Kid for its sequel, Young Guns 2 (1990), before writing, directing, and starring in Men at Work (1990). The buddy film, a comedy about two garbage men who become wrapped up in a murder case, also featured his brother, Charlie Sheen.
After an embarrassing turn in the bizarre sci-fi thriller Freejack (1992), Estevez starred as a lawyer who is forced to coach a children's hockey team in Disney's triumphant The Mighty Ducks (1992). He filmed the spoof National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (1993) and Another Stakeout (1993), before coaching the Mighty Ducks again in D2 (1994). Estevez then agreed to make a cameo appearance in the third installment of the franchise, D3 (1996), if Disney helped finance his own picture, The War at Home (1996). Estevez produced, directed, and starred in the Vietnam-era drama, along with his father and Academy Award-winner Kathy Bates. Sadly, after premiering at the Austin Film Festival, The War at Home played in only three cities.
In 1998, Estevez made a comeback as the Cowboy in the TNT made-for-cable spaghetti Western, Dollar for the Dead. Two years later, he directed Rated X (2000), a Showtime original movie based on brothers Jim and Art Mitchell, the troubled directors of the infamous adult film Behind the Green Door. After casting himself as Jim, Estevez recruited his own brother Charlie to play Art -- a move which gave the heralded film added clout and a money-making edge. Its positive press also put both brothers back in the spotlight.… Expand

After being out in the elements and getting good and sweaty, your scalp needs extra love and attention. Consider reaching for a clarifying shampoo to break down the excess product and dirt you may be dealing with. Use a cleansing oil shampoo if your hair is parched and depleted of moisture.

Bishop John Leads Clergy Retreat
From September 30 to October 3, 2014, over two dozen priests from the diocese of Charleston, Oakland and the Mid-Atlantic and the diocese of New York and Washington met at the Antiochian Village for a clergy retreat led by His Grace Bishop John. There were lectures and discussion groups in addition to the Divine Services.
Bishop John opened the retreat with a session about the role of a pastor in the solving of problems found in parishes. Questions such as: What is my role? What is appropriate? Who are we ministering to (or who do we need to minister to)? What are my boundaries? What are my obligations? Am I competent here? What is the will of God here?
Just Around the Corner: St. Thekla & St. Raphael Pilgrimage, Sept. 26-28
Download the Pilgrimage brochure and registration form
Registration is open for the Annual St. Thekla & St. Raphael Pilgrimage, with His Grace Bishop Thomas of the Diocese of Charleston, Oakland, and the Mid-Atlantic presiding. Lodging for both adults and children is available for the weekend, which is an annual event at the Antiochian Village Conference Center and camp in Bolivar, PA.
"Did you know that the Antiochian Village is one of the few places places in the United States where you can visit the grave and shrine of a saint of the Church?" notes Bishop Thomas. Saint Raphael of Brooklyn, the first Orthodox bishop to be consecrated in the United States, reposed in the Lord in 1915 and was later canonized by the Orthodox Church in America in 2000. Appropriately, since St. Raphael is buried on the grounds of Antiochian Village, the pilgrimage includes a Service of Supplication to him. Other activities include small group workshops, a panel discussion with Bishop Thomas, a special movie showing, and the full cycle of liturgical services.
Over 500 Attend Parish Life Conference at the Village
Read more reports and view more photos at the St. George Orthodox Church Website
Over 500 faithful from the Eastern Dioceses of New York and Washington, D.C. and Charleston, Oakland, and the Mid-Atlantic participated in the historic 2014 Parish Life Conference (PLC). Held at the Antiochian Village (AV) in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, it was a testament to the vision of Metropolitan Philip, who founded AV to foster fellowship and spiritual growth in the Orthodox faith. The grace of the Holy Spirit emanated throughout the conference, which was focused on the theme of loving God and neighbor, and was hosted by St. George Orthodox Christian Church of New Kensington, PA, with Fr. Meletios Zafaran.
Participants at the PLC had the unique opportunity to pray at the gravesites of St. Raphael and Metropolitan Philip. Father Anthony Yazge, the AV host priest and camp director, guided the group on an uplifting tour of the St. Raphael and St. Thekla shrines, and led a Supplication Service to St. Raphael.

'Hangul' (Kashmiri stag), the only surviving species of the red deer family in Kashmir, appears to be on the verge of extinction.
According to the figures available with the state wildlife department, the rare animal's strength fell from 5,000 in the beginning of last century to 900 in 1980s, when militancy broke out in the border state.
The latest census of 2008 put the figure at 117-180, department sources said.
With the help of World Wildlife Fund's 'Project Hangul' started in the 70's, their population had gone to 340 by the 80's. But it was short lived.
Hangul is the state animal and the fall in their number is a matter of concern.
At a recently concluded international conference on Hangul, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had said, "We will not let the Hangul go extinct".
Governor N N Vohra said the depletion in the rare animal's number was due to human interference.
Adding to the possible extinction list are Markhur, Himalayan Bear and the Musk Deer. Melting of glaciers, depletion of forest covers and water bodies have made their survival difficult.
Experts blame poaching and other human activities responsible for the depletion of Hangul. Destruction of natural habitats, grazing by livestock and deforestation are other causes.
They believe that environmental issues like depletion of ozone layer, global warming and climate change are also responsible for the present situation.
The Dachigam Sanctuary on the city outskirts, spread over 140 sq km, which is home to Hangul, came under the sway of militants. They killed the animal for its meat.
For well over a decade, the area has been out of bounds for the security forces.
Besides Dachigam, the rare animal is seen in Wadwan valley, Bhaderwah, Kishtwar and Tilel regions of the state.
The male deer has impressive antlers and long hair on neck. Hides and antlers of Hangul are considered of high value in international market, sources said.
Hangul has red—brownish coat bringing them to the fold of red deer. The colour, however, changes with season and age.
As regard tigers, the latest census counted just 1,411 big cats, down from 3,642 in 2002 and around 40,000 a century ago, they said.
Tigers and leopards are also falling to the greed of man as they are being hunted for their medicinal values.
Despite the 'Project Tiger' launched by the government long ago, a little is done for their conservation, they said.

Mentor absolutely deserved it, but was still rooting for my school. And, you know, it evens out. Mentor lost a state championship game a few years back when Hilliard Davidson (I think) beat them in overtime after converting a two-point try. These things happen. It looks like they'll get Toledo Whitmer and Hilliard Davidson should be playing Cincinnati Moeller, if that result held down there.
Colerain just never seems to put it together in the playoffs. They run that wishbone option, still, right? Usually, I would blame that because it's hard to come from behind or if it gets rainy and wet, it's hard to hang on to those pitches. Weather seems like it was pretty much fine though and I don't think they ever trailed by more than 10.
Whitmer must have built a pretty good program. They lost to Ignatius in the state semi-finals last year and they destroyed Massillon tonight. And on Davidson, I made a mistake. Pickerington North beat them 21-0, so they obviously advance.
