Offensive restaurant billboard pulled.
- Withnail42 Feb 22, 2011 12:45 PM
This just might be one of the worst thought out marketing campaigns ever.
Oh my gosh.
I am pretty stunned - I can't believe this ever got approved...horrible.
The comments were pretty appalling as well0
I think if the restaurant had left off the "to die for!" bit it might have escaped notice but that's what pushed it over the edge. I remember Jonestown--I was 13--but it was less a "worldwide tragedy" situation and more of a "stupid idiots" situation in most people's minds, which is why "drinking the Kool-Aid" has become a staple in popular lexicon for people mindlessly following along with something and probably why the restaurant thought going that route might be funny.0
re: MandalayVA
I don't ever recall any articles or discussion that referred to these people as anything less than murder victims, which is exactly what they were.0
re: NellyNel
That's because you remember. If you're under the age of 35 you don't and I guarantee that was the demographic this ad was reaching for. And I take it back--for some reason I always thought it happened in 1979 and it was actually 1978.
Just out of curiosity I showed this ad to a few young coworkers of mine. None of them thought it was really that funny but it wasn't because of the reference but because "'drinking the Kool-Aid' is getting really lame." Only one of them knew about Jonestown and that's because it was a trending topic on Yahoo yesterday. A lot of young'uns think "drinking the Kool-Aid" is from a movie. And none of them, even when it was explained where the reference came from, thought the ad particularly offensive, including the vegan who once e-mailed the entire department in outrage over a Canadian restaurant ad that read something along the lines of "I like animals right where they belong, next to the mashed potatoes."0
re: MandalayVA
Sad, sad state of affairs. To paraphrase a quote by Sant y Ana, "He who doesn't remember the past is condemned to repeat it." And I don't necessarily mean conscious, personal memories. This stuff needs to be taught and remembered as an awful, poisonous (no pun or play intended) historical event and an example of why people should be aware of the huge danger involved in giving one central person that much power.
MandaylayVA, I came off at you kind of sharp, and I do apologize for that. In context, I grew up in an area where many of the victims hailed from.....Ukiah, California, 'bout 40 miles over the hill from home. We knew some of the victims, and many of their families. It resonated hugely in our community for that reason; it was very very personal to a lot of us. So, my response was predicated on my memory of the huge and terrible outcry, specifically in my locale, a/w/a what appeared to me to be people's unthinking and trite responses.0
re: mamachef
No big deal and I understand that personal knowledge of people involved in something like this skews the view somewhat.0
re: MandalayVA
I am 25 and this is the first time I heard of the orgins of the whole Kool Aid Cult sayings. It has almost become a generic stigma to quote ANY cult to sucide using kool aid-- almost jokingly or ironically put never serious .... It is a sad event and wish people would not need outside influences to feel important0
That has got to be one of the sickest, most reprehensible pieces of advertising lunacy I have ever borne witness to. The "idea man" who pushed it must have not been around for the horror of Jonestown, and the suits who agreed, complete idiots.
Kids died at Jonestown.
Families died at Jonestown
People were beaten at Jonestown
Human Rights were violated at Jonestown
Wives lost husbands
Husbands lost wives
Children lost parents
Friends lost friends.
People died, horribly and in fear and pain, at Jonestown. And this company wants to invoke that horrible, horrible event as a way of pushing friggin' booze?
I keep thinking that nothing can really suprise me anymore, but if we can substitute "appalled, sickened, and angry" for suprised, well, this one did.
For shame. Shame on them all.0
re: mamachef
Just as appalling to me, are the many comments referring to the victims as "idiots".
These people were forced to feed their children the poison, and watch them die..they were all murdered.
Absolutely disgusting.0
re: NellyNel
They were NOT idiots or anything even close to it, NellyNel. You are soooo right. They were a group of unfortunates looking for a better life who were brainwashed in the most classic of ways. The law of averages, MandalayVa, dictates that there couldn't possibly be that many "Idiots" grouped up in one spot. Were the Jews who followed orders and marched into the death chambers, "Idiots?" I think not. I KNOW not. This billboard trivialized an event which has sadly lost some of it's import in the mist of time and memory. But I bet there'd be a much bigger outcry, if say, that billboard had shown a line of people marching to the chambers with the caption, "Get your Gas here! It's cheaper!"
It's all relevant. And Jim Jones was a monster.0
re: NellyNel
Yes to everything mamachef and NellyNel said, I was in my 20's and living in Berkeley at the time and it seemed as if the world had turned on its axis. Those poor people. Poor Congressman Ryan. Poor families left behind. This is about as low as advertising could possibly stoop.
re: NellyNel
I believe if they didn't drink they were shot.
The Murder of Congressman Leo Ryan was part of the carnage.0
re: Withnail42
I just posted an interview with Congressman Ryan's daughter on Facebook that addresses that terrible day. Maybe then people will think it's EXTRA-humorous.0
re: mamachef
It's on my post above as well.0
re: buttertart
Hah, bt. Where do you think I lifted it from? Us old hippies have GOT to band together and keep the rage alive, and activism in the forefront!0
re: mamachef
Fight the power!0
I thought the final line, about the humor and audience, said it best.
I think the first/premier episode of "Family Guy" was an episode that parodied some cult that believed that a spaceship was following the Hale-Bop (Betting a spelling mistake there) comet. Many considered that to be offensive and I can see their point. Shows like the "Family Guy" and "South Park" are popular because they seek to find humor is risque subject matters and events. So, there's an audience for the stuff and I think many of them would have found the billboard funny. I didn't see a deliberate attempt to offend for attention, so didn't think it was a big deal.
As for bad marketing campaigns, I don't think any company will ever top what Hell Pizza did.0
re: ediblover
I'm just wondering: in what universe do the "audience" who would "enjoy this type of humor" live?0
re: mamachef
I agree.
I am a fan of Family Guy, actually, as are quite a few of my friends.
I can say, without doubt, I know no one who would find this ad funny.
I am not familar with "Hell Pizza" or what they did. I can't imagine....Anyone?0
re: NellyNel
It's a New Zealand pizza chain that's gotten in trouble a few times for their ad campaigns:0
re: mamachef
Uh, South Bend, IN, mamachef. I showed the ad to the Spouse who used to live and work there, once upon a time. Didn't surprise him at all that the billboard ran there.
Btw, his personal response was along the lines of "Ugh."0
re: ediblover
Family Guy and South Park can get away with it because they're cartoons. If it was a sit-com with real people, I think they would probably have to tone it down quite a bit.0
re: Miss Needle
Yes, I also think that it is different when talking about a t.v. show. You can turn it off...a huge public billboard is not something you can choose to overlook.0
I'm more bothered by what bad advertising it is than I am offended by it. If someone is stupid enough to want to associate their product with such an awful event, I can only assume equal intelligence and taste goes into their food. Not a place I want to eat.0
Two phrases seem to be the problem here. Kool Aid has become a sort of political catchall term and has lost its shock value to much of the population, and "to die for" is a way overused bit of hyperbole. (Would you die for some restaurant's braised lamb shanks or creme brulee? I sure wouldn't.)
The billboard was certainly in execrable taste. Which puts it right in line with much of the social and political discourse going on in the country.0
re: Akitist
Aymen, and Aymen again, Akitist.0
I remember quite clearly that when Jamestown just happened
each of us examined our groups of our choice.
To just what extent maintained individuality
as opposed to a march of the lemmings,
It is surely event belongs not on a billboard
but within calibration of each daily moved soul.0
re: FoodFuser
That, my friend, is true and pure poetry. Well-put, FF.0
re: mamachef
I am glad Mods afford us the space to discuss of these issue now thirty years running.
While we mostly partake of the chat of the food
there are issues will always be timeless.0
I remember Jonestown too and find it absolutely incredible that any advertising firm would come up with such a promotion.
For the historians among you, there's always been some question as to whether Kool-Aid was actually used at Jonestown. It may have been a similar, competitive product but the first people on the scene referred to it as Kool-Aid and that's what stuck.0
Wow! Someone from restaurant corporate and the advertising firm was paid to come up with this!
They'll be promoted for this.0
You gotta wonder why Kraft Brands never took a stand. Their kool aid of the family & fun variety is still very much a popular product and to be associated with Jones and other negative images can't be good.0
re: HillJ
Agreed with the lack of Courage of Kraft.0
re: FoodFuser
Absolutely, and 100%.
There is a rumor (unverified) that it wasn't actually "brand" Kool-Aid, but an offbrand called Flav-r-aid. There is a possibility that Kraft didn't want to make huge noise about it because the product wasn't actually their product and they wanted to downplay any association whatsoever by not even touching the subject. Who knows.0
re: mamachef
Except the entire world associates the product and name KoolAid, not Flav-r-aid, with this horrific event and equally with the phrase "kool-aid" used in ads (like this OP example). If Kraft didn't make a huge noise about it the rest of the global world sure did. Again, given the lengths that food companies go to, to protect their brands for any number of reasons, you have to wonder why nothing was ever done to counter the negative association.0
re: HillJ
you are 100% of right, HillJ. On re-thinking the very least they could've done was find a way to disassociate.0
re: HillJ
Ok, then there's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Should General Foods have gone after Tom Wolfe and the publisher simply for referencing Kool-Aid?
I guess now's when I should say this billboard appeals to my very twisted sense of humor.0
re: MplsM ary
Having read the book, I'm familiar with it's publication date (1968). Simpler times.
Jim Jones (1978)...
I can't speak to the should-a...but today the politically correct and the popularity of dark humor run neck and neck. Twisted sense of humor or not, the fact that the sign was pulled fairly soon after it's installation makes me believe not enough people found it funny.0
re: HillJ
"Twisted sense of humor or not, the fact that the sign was pulled fairly soon after it's installation makes me believe not enough people found it funny."
Makes me believe people take time to formally complain about the wrong things.0
re: MplsM ary
Or are willing to admit to their mistakes. Either way, I am glad the decision to take the billboard down didn't cause any major issues for South Bend.
"Jeff Leslie, vice president of sales and marketing at Hacienda, acknowledged that the billboards were a mistake. He said the South Bend-based company ordered the signs removed less than two weeks into Hacienda's new advertising campaign."
"Our role is not to be controversial or even edgy. We want to be noticed -- and there's a difference," Leslie told the South Bend Tribune. "We have a responsibility to (advertise) with care, and that's why we're pulling this ad. We made a mistake and don't want to have a negative image in the community."
There have been a number of billboards in question in the news lately...all concerned the practice of public message. The wrong thing to focus on has different meanings.
Now I'm back to my delicious lunch :)
I think people, in general, are too sensitive.
Somebody mentioned Hell Pizza above and commented about how their marketing has drawn ire from various groups, but I actually think a lot of what they do and have done is pretty clever.
As regards the billboard in question, the Jonestown Massacre occurred a few years before I was born, but I have studied history enough to know the genesis of the phrase "drinking the kool-aid," and while I certainly don't find the billboard funny, I can't say I find it particularly offensive either.
People just seem to enjoy getting offended.0
I have a really macabre and twisted sense of humor and I am not easily offended. But making jokes about (real) innocent people dying is in poor taste -all the time. There are some things that just should never be funny. It think this holds true for massacres of all kinds. There are plenty of other things to joke about.0
re: sedimental
Ya - I agree with sedimental -
I'm usually the one who is annoyed by overly-sensitive people...but this pisses me off!0
re: sedimental
That's a very interesting observation, sedimental and Nellynel, because anybody who knows me in real life would tell you that I too have a macabre, twisted and black sense of humor. I laugh hard at the non-pc; the South Parks, the Family Guy; even Monty Python and his troupe were guilty of completely inappropriate but hysterically funny humor.
But yes. This goes way beyond a tasteful pale.0
re: mamachef
Absolutely, me too!
I have a good friend at work, who is very kind hearted, but also very young. He is 30, so wasnt even born at the time of Jonestown.
I showed him the billborad, and this post and asked him his POV.
Almost not surprisingly he said he did think it was kind of funny.
He admitted he didnt know too much of the story, but that "lots of idiots killed themselves" (not his excact words, but that was the gist of what he meant)
I think a major problem here, is that from the beginning, the story read as: Mass "Suicide" at Jonestown. It is still veiwed as such today.
It should have been called a Mass "murder" because that's what it was.
Perhaps young people would have a slightly different POV if they didnt think these people willingly, blindly, killed themselves.0
re: mamachef
Me too (I am about as non pc as you can get). I am completely irreverent in my humor. However, jokes about horrific real events- the holocaust, Sept. 11, Pearl Harbor, apartheid, etc...... just not funny.0
re: sedimental
As distasteful, irreverent, offensive, and just plain crude as I find this this billboard is/was; If any Corporation, partnership, or sole proprietor wants to commmit a marketing error of this magnatude it is the entity's protected right of free speech. This is akin to the highly offensive "Artistic display" of religious icons in NYC made of dung, urine and in pornographic poses.
It may offend many but to restrict its utterance, print, or display is a much worse condition of all of us who value the Constitutiion.0
re: ospreycove
Yes, I don't think anyone would advocate that it be illegal.0
The replies in this thread have drifted widely from the original topic, and are no longer focused, even tangentially, on food. We've locked this topic so the discussion is still available in searches, but we'd ask everyone to return to discussing food.0

As skin ages, it begins to lose its elasticity, slowly slipping to a lower position on the face.

Love, love, love this bar cleanser even more the liquid. Does not dry my skin out like dove. Gets my light makeup off. It does sting the eye area so I remove eye makeup separately.
This oddly calms my skin and does not make it flaky. The only negative is while it is cheap, I do go through it quickly. But with these results, I am sticking to this cleanser.

This irritated my skin and broke me out.
I like this cleanser alot, it works for me. I have rosacea, acne prone, and dry skin and it's very gentle. It doesn't break me out, leave my skin dry, or flare up my rosacea. It takes most of my makeup off. I definitely recommend it :)
I tend to prefer liquid cleansers to bars because storage is easier, but I'm so glad I gave this bar a shot. I got it for free with a big pump bottle of the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion at Walgreens when I was doing the acne.org regimen. I've since stopped the regimen but I'm still using this bar because it's so amazing.
I really feel like it calms my skin as I'm washing, there aren't any irritating ingredients and it hasn't caused me to break out or anything. It just feels soothing on my face, none of that tight feeling after cleansing.
I do find that it doesn't remove face makeup very well, so I use a little cold cream beforehand and it works fine. Since I don't know bar soaps I'm not sure if this is expensive or not, but the same bar is only about halfway gone after a month of use so it's not a bad value for $4 or so.
If you're looking for a good basic cleanser, try this. It should be gentle enough for most skin types and the price isn't bad.

I am in LOVE with this soap! Wow! I have super duper sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin with rosacea and I have a very difficult time finding products that my skin will tolerate. For the past few months, my skin has been breaking out in tiny little clogged pores and closed comedones that just wouldn't go away for anything. I was using Dove unscented bar soap for the longest time. It would always work great at first and then begin to clog my pores like mad after a few days. Then I would switch back to my Aveeno ultra-calming foaming soap that would feel nice, but would make my skin feel a bit dry and rashy. I was really reluctant to use this soap, but I couldn't ignore the great reviews!
First, I LOVE the scent! I've always avoided soaps with fragrance because my skin reacts to it, but not this! It's so pleasant to use and the smell lingers for a while. It's oddly comforting to me. After washing, my skin doesn't feel dry at all, just clean and fresh. After using for only 2 days, all the clogged pores on my forehead VANISHED. Gone! I couldn't believe it! My skin is so smooth and soft now. It's so wonderful to wake up in the morning and not have to worry about piling a ton of makeup on to make my skin look "normal". Let me tell you, covering bumpy rosacea is no small feat and this incredible soap has shaved at least 15 minutes from my morning routine!
One last thing... This isn't a huge deal for me, but make sure you keep your eyes closed when washing because it burns my eyes like CRAZY. I'm not sure how it's so gentle on the skin, yet stings the eyes like acid, but I'm not put off by it.
For reference, I bought this at CVS for $4.99, which I thought was a bit pricey for a bar of soap. Then I saw it at Wal-mart for only $3.27. Grrrrrr.... I'll have to remember to buy it there from now on! Actually, I'm going to stock up on a few bars so I'll never be without!

This stuff is amazing. Just 36 hours ago my face was a red angry bumpy mess and now it is calm, clear and smooth. My skin had been gradually getting worse and worse the last few months. I was trying out Ponds Cold Cream after reading about Kylie Minogue using it, and then I was trying to compensate the greasyness, bumpy lumps and clogged pores with too much very strong Glycolic Acid which was drawing out all the oil and gunk the cold cream was putting in over months of buildup. Big mess. Out of desperation over my erupting face I was searching MA for something simple and basic to try to calm my skin. I found the great reviews for this Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar and rushed straight out the door at 9pm to find it. I'm so glad I did.
I don't usually believe anyone should write a review until they have used a product for at least a few months, however in this case it has been such a quick turnaround I thought it worth sharing due to the amazing results. It somehow works instantly to calm and balance the skin. I must admit I washed my face about 4 times yesterday and even used some of the soap as a spot treatment overnight. I followed up with a tiny amount of the Cetaphil Moisture Cream which I have been using for about 2 years.
So if you are suffering from stressed out, angry, breaking out skin - give this a shot. Its cheap and easy - what have you got to lose.
I will continue to use this and update my review in a few months after I can see consistent results. Hopefully it will continue to be just as good as it is the first day.

The best cleanser I have ever used, and I have used quite a handful of various brands (both on-shelf and high end brands)! I have normal/combination skin type, and I live in a rather dry region (Eastern Canada). This cleanser left my skin clean and refreshed. It didn't leave a filmy sensation (which I have experienced with most "moisturizing" cleanser), nor tighten/dry up my skin leaving little tingling sensation. It is so gentle yet effective that I won't ever switch to any other cleanser again, not even Cetaphil's liquid facial cleanser (they are definitely not on the same level). Easily lathers up with a few drops of water. Although the lather remains thin no matter how hard you work on it, you only need a little bit to cleanse the entire face and neck (I usually work on it for 5 to 10 seconds). Best of all, it is inexpensive, while a single bar would last for more than 3 months! The only other comparable cleanser I have used is DHC's olive facial cleansing bar, but the price almost doubles that of this one.

The gentle cleansing bar is becoming hard to find, and it is my winter bar soap. I like things that suds up when you use them to remove makeup. I don't want the antibacterial version because I use Cuticura for that type of stuff.
I love how this feels when you use it, and the big bar lasts a long time (a few months, maybe even as long as six). It is a heavy soap and washes off clean but doesn't leave your skin too dry like Ivory can (that was my old face soap in the summer before I found Cuticura).
Very good cleansing product. I am not really a huge fan of Cetaphil in the pump, just because it doesn't make my face feel really clean.

Where have I been! This soap is nothing short of miraculous. I have tried a bezillion cleansers, acne treatments, products for sensitive skin, products meant to help with rosacea, and nothing comes close to what this simple bar has done for my skin! I have super oily, acne prone skin with a healthy dose of rosacea to boot. I was beginning to think that I had run out of options, and must simply learn to live with my inflamed skin. Products meant for oily skin only seemed to produce more oil. Acne products did nothing but leave my skin red and scaly (even treatments aimed at rosacea). I was ready to pull my hair out. My dermatologist asked me if I had ever tried this soap, and I almost laughed out loud. After all, I had tried all the so called miracle treatments out there, and they did nothing to touch the problem (prescriptions didn't help either). Why would some silly bar of soap meant for dry skin help me (and I had tried enough soaps to open up my own store)!
At first I thought she was referring to that stuff that comes in a bottle, but she was very specific. She told me to get the bar meant for dry, sensitive skin called "Gentle Cleansing", and not the antibacterial bar, which I would have normally chosen. It was dirt cheap, so I thought what the heck. I added it to my cart when I was shopping at Drugstore.Com. I also took note of all the positive reviews there as well. When it came, I was a little disappointed because it smells exactly like Dove soap (almost identical). It took me a few days to get used to the smell because I never did like the smell of Dove soap, however it does fade a bit, and it is a little lighter than straight Dove.
Once I got past the scent, I was in love. The first time I used it, I had to keep staring in the mirror because my face looked so calm and white (no traces of inflammation). The part that really blew me away is when I touched my face a couple of hours later. It felt like normal skin instead of an oil slick The next day my face began to clear up considerably! I've been using this soap for a week now, and my skin is so calm, clear and beautiful looking! I'm literally amazed by this soap (it even cleared up a rash that comes and goes on my chest when I am near my period)! This soap is intended for dry skin, and yet out of all the products I've tried over the years in an attempt to normalize my super oily skin, this is the one product that finally works! Who knew! I'm stunned! Not only that, but for the first time in years, my rosacea is under control and my acne is finally going away! If this is a dream, please don't wake me! Love love love love!

I have a love/hate relationship with this bar of soap. I love the fact that it always gets rid of my pimples fast, better than any other cleanser I have tried (i.e. origins, biore, neutrogena, olay, etc) and it's not expensive either. The negative with this product is that it leaves my face feeling tight and after washing I always get that squeaky clean feeling, which I'm not particularly fond of. For a product that claims it's for dry, sensitive skin, you would think it would be a bit more hydrating, but just because it gets rid of my pimples fast I will continue to buy it. Also, I have tried the liquid version of cetaphil and it isn't the same as the bar of soap. The liquid version of cetaphil didn't do anything for me at all.

The "Put the Middle Class First" bus campaign tour held a press conference in front of the Paul Bunyan statue on Main Street in Bangor October 7th.
Speakers like Ohio's former Governor Ted Strickland said Republicans are only looking out for themselves. One reason he cited was the fact that middle class wages are stagnant – staying the same as they were in the 1970′s as cost of living goes up. He said public servants like Mike Michaud for governor, and Shenna Bellows for U.S. Senate will help change this by increasing the minimum wage. President Barack Obama has called on Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10.
"I wanted to come to this city because I know Mike Michaud. I served with him when I was in the House of Representatives. I sat beside him in the Veteran's Affairs Committee… I know his values. I know his commitment to public service and I know he'll be a great governor for the state of Maine," said Strickland, who is now President of CAP Action Fund.
Bangor Council member Joe Baldacci was there.
"The bus tour is focusing on how the current policies in Augusta and in Congress are hurting middle class families. And that we need to invest in people, in our fellow citizens- higher minimum wage, more affordable college opportunities and protecting Medicare and Social Security," said Councilor Baldacci.

Guestbook comments from the owner
We stayed at this villa in the middle of November, occupying all the 4 bedrooms. The house is exactly the same as on the pictures. It's located very close to the beach (about 5 min walk) and to the fruit market (10 min walk). The house is rather big, has all the necessary furniture and houseware, there's a nice garden around the house which provides you with the feeling of being in an isolated area with no noises and hustle. You can listen to loud music, dance, play games - nobody will ask you to be quiet or to come to order.
Sikarin and Ron (the manager) are very polite and helpful. We really appreciated Ron's assistance when we had some troubles and needed someone to translate for us from Thai into English.
The quality-to-price ratio of this accommodation is very high.
We had great two weeks at the villa and there was not a single reason for disappointment.
Sikarin and Ron, thanks a lot!

Alex James is a farmer, a journalist, and the bassist for the band Blur. His memoir, Bit of a Blur, was recently published by Little, Brown.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (Dover, $3). Stevenson created the two best villains in literature: Mr. Hyde and Long John Silver—both irresistible, but terrible. The best fiends are those you can't spot immediately. This is a cracking story, and Stevenson wrote the first draft in just three days.
The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales (Gramercy, $15). I've rediscovered these stories while reading them to my son. Andersen's genius is his ability to write odd endings; sometimes you can't tell if they're happy or sad. Although the stories are only about three pages long, they conjure up huge worlds full of color.
Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome (Penguin, $4). A charming and funny novel about three men and a dog, boating on the Thames. It has no grand premise, it's just three blokes pissing around. Although it seems whimsical, it is, in fact, about the epic struggle of everyday life—of trying to have friends and to do something you want to do.
Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh (Back Bay, $15). This portrait of the 1920s celebrity scene shows nothing's changed. The insider view of glamour reveals how tawdry and precarious it all is. It shows the chaos and madness of being a socialite and is both funny and tragic.
Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote (Vintage, $13). You can outgrow books, but this has stayed with me as the ideal love story. It's a brilliant picture of unrequited love, which is the most powerful and perfect kind.
On the Shores of the Unknown by Joseph Silk (Cambridge, $40). I'm reading this book about the beginning and end of the universe at the moment, and it's channeling me into cosmic ecstasy. It says, roughly, that nobody has any idea where we come from, who we are, or where we're going.

After the shocking murder of Natalia Estemirova, her colleagues finger Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
MOSCOW — Natalia Estemirova was an increasingly rare breed in Russia. Committed to exposing human rights abuses committed by the ruthless leadership in Chechnya, she lived and worked tirelessly in the republic's capital.
Today she was found dead.
Four men abducted Estemirova, the leading Russian human rights worker in the troubled Caucasus region, as she left her home in Grozny at about 8.30 a.m. Wednesday, July 15. Members of her organization, Memorial, started a public outcry. In the midst of it, her body was found with two gun shots to the head, execution style. Her lifeless body was dumped in Ingushetia, a neighboring republic.
Could this be the tipping point?
In previous such murders — and there have been many — the finger-pointing has been somewhat wobbly. The regime of Ramzan Kadyrov, the 32-year-old leader who runs Chechnya as his own personal fiefdom, has managed to shrug off accusations that it is somehow involved in the spate of killings that have seen Kadyrov's opponents fall dead one by one, in Chechnya, in Moscow, and abroad.
Some have remained silent, likely fearing revenge. For Memorial, there is nothing more to fear.
Oleg Orlov, the chairman of Memorial, Russia's preeminent human rights group, said Kadyrov has blood on his hands, and he plans on telling the world.
"Ramzan Kadyrov is personally responsible, not only because he leads Chechnya," Orlov said, reacting more with raging anger than sadness over the death of his colleague. "He personally threatened Natalia, told her that her hands would be covered in blood and that he destroys bad people." That threat came, he said, when Kadyrov dismissed Estemirova as head of the Grozny Human Rights Public Council early last year.
"We didn't say this before because we were scared for her safety. Now we can say it. We have no doubt that her killing was ordered by Ramzan Kadyrov."
Kadyrov has not responded to accusations that he was involved. Maybe he'll come up with a defense like the one he gave when denying involvement in the October 2006 murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya, with whom Estemirova often worked: "I do not kill women and have never killed women."
Kadyrov has been accused of involvement in many high-profile killings. Politkovskaya's murder was followed by the 2008 attack on Ruslan Yamadayev, a member of a powerful Chechen clan opposed to Kadyrov. He was shot dead in front of the British Embassy in central Moscow during rush hour. His brother was killed in March this year, slain by a gunman as he walked to his car in a posh Dubai apartment complex. In perhaps the most brazen killing, Umar Israilov, a former Kadyrov bodyguard who won political asylum in Austria after publicly accusing Kadyrov of human rights abuses, was killed by a carload of assassins in central Vienna in January after a midday run to a grocery shop.
But these are not the killings Estemirova worked to expose. She devoted her life to the everyday revenge killings and reprisal attacks that her research showed were carried out by the Kadyrov regime against average residents of Chechnya.

Meredith's two pharmacies in growing mood
For most of the past decade and all of this one, Rite-Aid was the sole pharmacy in Meredith.
So Rite-Aid needed to find a new home.
After opening for the first time in January in about 2,000 square feet of a neighboring outlet mall, the Hannaford pharmacy finally moved into its new, approximately 8,000-square-foot section of the supermarket Monday morning.
Since January, Rite-Aid has been operating out of a 2,000-square-foot store space it moved to in a vacant building at 343 Daniel Webster Highway.
"That's the plan, to move everything over to the new place by November," he said.

Amanda Wakeley (And Her Team) Loves London!
This year, as we celebrate 25 years of London Fashion Week, Amanda and some of her team reveal why London is so special to them and choose an image that captures their love of the capital.
Amanda Wakeley (Creative Director)
"I adore walking in Kensington Gardens at dawn with my dog Lola. Whatever time of the year it is a magical oasis in the heart of London. When I'm there, I can really feel the seasons – whether it's the short winter days with the mist rising from the Round Pond as the sun comes up, or the parakeets darting from branch to branch and singing out loud in the summer months. What a privilege to have this on our doorstep."
Bridget Bowen (Retail Manager)
"The first picture is outside Chelsea registry office on 6 May 1983. As a child I lived in Africa and used to spend my half-term holidays in Chelsea Manor Street – being on the Kings Road in the '60s and early '70s gave me my love for fashion.
So I joined Jaeger ( who had best training scheme at the time) in 1975. 10 years later, there I am standing outside the new flagship store in Regent Street as the General Manager, with a live camel (Jaeger was famous for its camel hair coats) and a glass of bucks fizz, celebrating the iconic company's centenary. 100 years later, London Fashion Week started.
I love London and have always worked and lived in the West End, Knightsbridge and Chelsea and have celebrated the eclectic fashion swings that emanate from the street and Londoners' innovation and individual style. My passion is selling beautiful clothes that make you feel better about yourself and with a wardrobe full of Amanda Wakeley you can cocoon your body in luxury every day."
Gail McClelland (Ecommerce Manager)
"When I first moved to London five years ago, my sister took me to Portobello market. At the time, London seemed so foreign and huge but Portobello market was like nothing I'd ever seen before – an Aladdin's cave of vintage treasures. Being a total clothes fanatic I felt like I had died and gone to retro heaven. I remember stumbling across the most perfect pair of vintage Eley Kishimoto shoes in my size (that I still wear and love) in the first five minutes – after that, I was hooked.
I know Amanda gets inspiration from Portobello market also. She says that "it still holds the thrill of the hunt for that fabulous piece that will inspire so many other pieces."
Two years ago I finally moved to West London and I now live five minutes from Portobello market and all its charms, which still haven't worn off."

Patriots Re-Sign WR Deion Branch

|Patriots Stallworth On IR, Shiancoe Released
Donte Stallworth (USAT Sports)
A day after catching a big pass for a TD, the Patriots put WR Donte Stallworth on injured reserve. they also waived a veteran TE and released a practice squad OL.
FOXBOROUGH, MASS. (AP) -- The New England Patriots have placed wide receiver Donte Stallworth on injured reserve with an ankle injury.
The move on Tuesday ended his season after just one game, a 42-14 win over the Houston Texans on Monday night in which he scored on his only reception, a 63-yarder from Tom Brady. The Patriots, who had released Stallworth following training camp, re-signed him on Dec. 4 after wide receiver Julian Edelman went on injured reserve with a foot injury.
The Patriots did not give details of Stallworth's injury and he did not mention it as he talked with reporters after the game. In his only full season in New England in 2007, he had 46 catches then played with the Cleveland Browns in 2008.
New England also released tight end Visanthe Shiancoe from the roster and offensive lineman Tommie Draheim from the practice squad.

The Cost of the American Dream
By ahundredaffections on September 13, 2013
Living in the shadow of NYC, 9/11 hits close to home. Literally.
I think this definitely is the one day where everyone can remember where he was and what he was doing when America was attacked on our own soil.
For me, I had just started my first teaching job and was probably in my second full week. I had a free period, and one of my juniors passed me in the hall and said,'Did you hear? A plane just flew into the Twin Towers!' It sounded like horrible news, but at that moment, I didn't know it was a terrorist attack. I wandered around the building trying to find out details, and someone had managed to get a live news feed into the auditorium on the big screen. Teachers with free periods wandered in; some other teachers brought their classes in ...the older students mostly. We were trying to get word about what happened.
We didn't know there was a second plane until we saw it - live- fly into the second Tower.
With a room full of high school students, we watched, in real time, the Towers fall. A collective gasp echoed through the room, and then there were no words as we watched the rest unfold.
As word came out there were planes also in Pennsylvania and DC, the pieces were put together that we were attacked. The United States. On our own soil. Who would do this?
I remember there were mad dashes of phone calls. Several of our students had parents who worked in NYC. No one could get word of what happened. We just tried to keep everyone calm. We prayed. A lot. This was unprecedented; no one knew what to do. How do you finish the school day after that? Just go back to grammar? Not exactly.
What I remember distinctly about that day was driving home. There was traffic on the Long Island Expressway (no surprise there), and as I was at a dead-stop on the highway, as I made eye-contact with the people around me, I knew our minds were all on the same thing. I would venture to guess that we were all glued to the radio, listening, waiting for news, not being able to tear ourselves from the horror we were first-hand experiencing. I just remember looking all around me, at all the hundreds of cars on the expressway with me, and I knew we all were thinking the same thing. There was a certain connection, a certain kinship, in that. Even though we were strangers, in our isolated cars, I felt like we were all in this together.
Attacked. What was next? Were we safe? What was going to happen to us? To America?
We live close enough to NYC that there was a ripple effect to suburbia. One of my co-worker's husband was part of the NYFD and a first responder. Was stuck in the city for days. My friend's brother worked in Manhattan and had to walk home to Brooklyn through the tunnel. The dad of kids in our school worked in the World Trade Center. He didn't make it. This tragedy hits close to home. When we remember 9/11, we really remember. We have pieces of steel remnants from the Towers erected in communities all across Long Island as memorials. Our moments of silence are filled with real names and real faces. The family who lost the dad? They were absent today; they always take the day off from school on 9/11.
My ticket stub from the top of the Trade Towers, 1998.
I read today that this year's senior class was in kindergarten on 9/11. They are the last class of kids who were in school when we were attacked. It's hard to believe that the kids in my classroom were toddlers and have no real recollection of the event - not any more than any other historical event they read about in their textbook...Pearl Harbor, Vietnam War, Berlin Wall, 9/11...just another historical event.
Twelve years have passed. But it doesn't feel like twelve years. I still can't bring myself to watch the documentaries.
Today, in my 11th grade English class, we talked about the American Dream. Compared to most of the world, our lives in America are the dream; what they would give to be in a country like ours - to have the opportunities we do. But 9/11 shows us that not everyone feels that way about America. It is painful when those from the outside oppose us and our American way of life. For all of our flaws, I believe that America (and Americans) has had mostly good intentions towards others and the rest of the world. And I think our involvement in the world is motivated (I hope. Maybe I'm naive) by our desire to spread good will and give freedom to others.

The Vibe for Fall 2012
Acne's collection was tailored, literally in some cases, to the modern man's wardrobe needs. Filled with all occasion appropriate sportswear pieces, looks were heavily layered, but without extraneous bulk, in of-the-season proportions such as oversized shirting and ankle-grazing trouser hems. Bursts of bright red, burgundy, teal, and army green were sandwiched between the predominantly dark looks that opened and closed this show.

Mariners Fan
A blog written by and for Seattle Mariners fans
Something to Choo on
Doug Fister pitched well early on in this one retiring 15 batters in a row before falling apart in the sixth inning as the race to see who will avoid losing 100 games between these two squads heads down the home stretch. There is not much to say about this one that has any positive [...] [Read More]
Mariners clutch-less in Seattle
The Mariners lost tonight 4-2 to the Angels in a manner that we have grown all too accustomed to in 2010 with good starting pitching, good defense and base running, overshadowed by an anemic offense. Despite the fact that the Mariners out-hit the Angels 10-5, our scaliwags simply could not get the big hit when we needed one … [Read More]
Playoff Experience
As the calendar turns to September, MLB teams may expand their rosters to include up to 40 players. The Mariners, however, will wait to expand their roster, as the players most likely to be called to the big club are currently with the Tacoma Rainiers and are poised to win their division in the Pacific Coast League and enter the playoffs later this month.

Mariners win 3-1,Felix lets out another long Cyyy
The Mariners rallied in the bottom of the eighth inning tonight scoring three runs to beat the Angels 3-1. That's the good news, the bad news is that despite going seven innings of 3-hit shutout ball Felix Hernandez was once again denied a victory. Manager Daren Brown decided to pull Felix after … [Read More]
Seattle Mariners Financial Documents
Somewhere in the 8th inning tonight as I was watching Jamie Wright load the bases with walks, my mind began to drift into the much practiced numbness that I have developed over the recent years as a Mariners fan. I was not even particularly upset when another mediocre pitcher of ours in this case [. … [Read More]
Luke French pitches gem as Mariners win 2-1
Luke French pitched a great game today for the Mariners, holding the visiting Minnesota Twins to one run on three hits as he picked-up his third win on the season in the 2-1 affair.

Mariners lose 1-0 as reality returns…..
Well I'm officially back in Seattle just in time to watch part of today's 1-0 loss to the Twins. I'm still a bit out of touch with reality after being on the road for a week, and yet I tuned in today to watch our boys get shutout on two hits by a club that [...] [Read More]
Jose Lopez Finally Finding Some Consistency
Jose Lopez, who played his first full season with the Mariners in 2006–a year in which he was selected as an AL All-Star–has never strung together two consistent offensive halves. He's put up significantly better numbers either before the All-Star break or after the break, but never has he really been a constant and hit consistently throughout a 162 game season. [Read More]

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 10/30/14
Because today's game between the Mets and Braves was postponed due to rain, and the decision was made not to have a doubleheader on Sunday, right-hander Matt Harvey will now have seven full days of rest in between starts. Harvey was originally scheduled to pitch tomorrow's game on Sunday, but Jon Niese who was today's scheduled starter, will pitch tomorrow's contest instead. With the Mets off on Monday, Harvey will get the nod on Tuesday when the Mets begin their homestand with a three game series against the Chicago White Sox. This may not be a bad thing as Harvey is coming off a career-high 121-pitch effort in his last start on Monday. The bullpen could also use the rest after what has been a taxing week for them. Today's postponement was announced early this afternoon due to torrential rainfall and flood warnings in the Atlanta metropolitan area. No makeup date has been announced.

Brooke Shields Goes Anti-Eminent Domain For Lifetime
"Brooke Shields Goes Anti-Eminent Domain For Lifetime"
I'd had the vague sense that Brooke Shields' career wasn't in the best place (as Entourage tells me, if she's involved in a project with Johnny Drama, that's not a good sign), but I'm sort of depressed, both because of what it means for her talent and what it means for her politics, that she's starring in an anti-eminent domain movie on Lifetime about the Kelo case. Speaking out about postpartum depression and the idea that seeking treatment for it isn't shameful is really useful and important. Sparking fears that the government's going to take your property is a lot less useful.

Hi Everyone,
I went for my first ob check today.
|Sat, 04-04-2009 - 10:59am
My LMP was feb 7th, so according to that, they dated me further along then I actually was.
I know exactly when I ovulated and conceived, and it was very late in my cycle- like 5 days later then normal.
So, when I had my ultrasound at what THEY dated me at 6/6, I was actually only about 6/1 (ish?).
|Tue, 04-07-2009 - 12:53am
The others are totally right, it happens quite a lot, so don't worry yet! Even when you are sure of ovulation, conception is sometimes a day or two later, which also puts the dates off. I know the time will drag until your next u/s, but hang in there. The fact that you have lots of symptoms is very positive, so things still look good. :-)

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) - An effort to set a world record for the largest pirate gathering has fallen short in Newport News.
WAVY-TV reports that while plenty of people showed up Saturday at the Mariners' Museum, there weren't enough of them dressed as pirates.
The Newport News home of the Civil War ironclad Monitor's turret was aiming to top the 2012 record of 14,231 set by the English town of Hastings.

I mean yeah, but not really. To build muscle and stay cut you have to workout like mad both lifting and cardio wise. Also you have to eat clean. Every meal must have a purpose and be able to be utilized by your body. People who think they need to dirty bulk and eat 6000 calories a day as just frankly ignorant. My point is that Anorexia makes your body lose all your nutrients and makes you weak. Where someone like this has to have all of his nutritional needs met and down to a science on top of being inhumanly active every day.
#64 to #62 - delphine ONLINE (09/08/2013) [-]
And if that's what makes him happy that's great. My point is that there are similarities. People with anorexia also obsess over counting calories and food and in inhibits their ability to enjoy life. Not saying everyone who body builds is like this, but I'm sure a fair few are.
Personally I think obsessing over food and going to a gym to get exercise it sounds like a waste of time when you could just enjoy your meal and go outside and shoot hoops with friends instead... My grandparents have all lived to be in their 90s and live healthy and fulfilling lives without having their nutritional needs down to an exact science.

#65 to #64 - sloot (09/08/2013) [-]
I think I said it somewhere below in the comments but guys at that level would not be there if they only cared about their appearance. Body building becomes a hobby you fall in love with, just like playing video games or learning an instrument. It provides you with confidence with the realization that every day you are getting stronger and improving. It may sounds stupid but it makes you feel proud knowing on top off everything else you do in your life, every day you are outworking 90% of the people around you. I can work a double shift from my two jobs, finish my hw for class the next day, and not even consider skipping going to the gym for 2 hours.
#66 to #65 - delphine ONLINE (09/08/2013) [-]
I also mentioned that it doesn't apply to all bodybuilders. If it makes you happy that's great it's good to have a hobby you're passionate about. It's just not for me. But it does make sense when you say it like that... I do improv belly dance so when I practice and perform with my friends, it's art. When you work out, you're making art out of your body. I guess I didn't think about it that way before.
#58 to #56 - delphine ONLINE (09/08/2013) [-]
oh, don't get me wrong, there are men who struggle with anorexia I'm not denying that. There are also women with muscle dismorphia. But it's more common for women to struggle with eating disorders and more common for men to have muscle dismorphia.
#46 to #43 - sloot (09/08/2013) [-]
frankly I don't care about aesthetics. That guy is yolked out of his mind and could lift a ******* house (plus he achieved it naturally). Also he isn't a lard ass power lifter that can't even wipe his own ass. I respect him because he is just all around at the peak of physical fitness. He could lift a ton, then go run a marathon. That takes dedication and will power
#60 to #46 - delphine ONLINE (09/08/2013) [-]
I have an uncle who doesn't look like that, but he can lift bales of hay, pound fences into the ground, and a whole sort of backbreaking manual labor all day. A person don't have to look like a Rob Liefeld cartoon to be in top physical condition.
#41 to #38 - sloot (09/08/2013) [-]
that's respect. Maintaining size while remaining at nearly 0% body fat is very difficult. It takes a perfect diet and no days off in the gym. A lot of people look at bodies like this and get disgusted but you have to at least respect their work ethic. In today's world there are very few with that kind of dedication.
#39 to #33 - sloot (09/08/2013) [-]
Any guy who starts lifting to try and impress girls won't last long at all. It becomes more about personal strength and getting better every single day. I have become addicted. My life now revolves around fitness and I always can't wait to get into the gym every day. I think of it as this... you only get one body in this one life. How much of a shame would it be to never get to see it at it's best?

Eckstein donates kidney
Dec 9, 2010, 11:00 AM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — For those who didn't hear the news last night, Nationals hitting coach Rick Eckstein did an incredibly courageous thing: He donated one of his kidneys to his older brother Ken.
The procedure was performed yesterday, and according to the Nats, both Rick and Ken Eckstein are doing well.
This is the second transplant Ken Eckstein, who suffers from kidney disease, has received in his lifetime. The disease runs in the family, with the Eckstein's father and two sisters also having received transplants.
Rick Eckstein expects to be in the hospital for a couple of days before getting back to work. He has an elaborate coaching setup at his Orlando home, including a vast collection of video clips of decades worth of ballplayers' swings, and invites members of the Nationals to work with him throughout the offseason. He should be 100 percent recovered for the start of spring training.

Mark: with Pavano and Lee presumably off the table, and Greinke too expensive at this early stage, is the FO going to wait until another club gets desperate for position players and approaches the Nats for a trade? In other words: same rotation with hopes of a trade down the road?
- MurrayTheRed - Dec 9, 2010 at 12:04 PM
Way to go Rick! So the initial predictions on how the Worth deal could effect Crawford were correct, and Jason Stark theory was wrong!

It seems to me that the Werth and Crawford signings have likely won LaRoche more years and more money. It will be interesting to see how that works out and how it affects the Nats.fpcsteve

If LaRoche's value increased it's because Pena and Konerko are off the board. If Derek Lee signs then it goes up more.

- Ballinonabudget - Dec 9, 2010 at 2:06 PM
I've read that Baltimore, Toronto, and San Diego are all looking for 1st basemen. I don't think San Diego will be much competition, since they are trying to dump salary. So, that leaves Baltimore and Toronto. After LaRoche and Derrek Lee, the 1st base market gets really thin, with the likes of Jorge Cantu, Troy Glaus, and Mark Kotsay.NO, NO, NO, NO TO NICK JOHNSON
- Anonymous - Dec 9, 2010 at 5:45 PM
I know Crawford is younger but didn't everyone call the Nats insane to do a 7 year contract with Werth. Like just the thought of 7 years was a curse of some kind. Now Crawford signs 7 years and a lot more money and everyone calls the Sox brilliant. just sayin
- Bob L. Head - Dec 9, 2010 at 7:03 PM
Crawford is signed through the season in which he will turn 35, which is perfectly reasonable. Werth is signed through the season in which he turns 38, which has the potential to be three years too long in the post-steriod era.

If I was purchasing these springs 15 years ago, I definitely would have went with the Race Version, lower and stiffer. However now that I am a middle aged man, husband, father, and grandfather that still loves to build cars and have fun, I had to compromise for a little bit of comfort. The H&R Sport Springs are manufactured with excellent craftsmanship. The stance of my 99 VW GTI VR6 MK4 is mean, handles excellent, and most of all the wife is happy and no complaints to date! Thank You!

After installing the h&r springs my supsesion feels more responsive. Stiff enough where handling is improved but not too stiff where is uncomfortable. The drop was just perfect with about an inch gap all around. My GLI looks sportier and that's good anough for me.

Bradford students honor veterans
More than 100 students, teachers, staff, parents and veterans attended a program at Bradford Elementary School on Nov. 9. (COURTESY)
Participating in the ceremony were members Cmdr. Charles Trowbridge, Richard Dahlgren and Phil Lord of Wilkins-Cloues-Bigelow-Pearson Post No. 39 in Warner. The program was directed by fifth-grade teacher Lauren Duquette.
Principal Don West welcomed everyone and then Charles Trowbridge and fifth-graders Trevor McConnell and Hailey Hogancamp posted the colors. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited followed by "The Star-Spangled Banner" sung by the second- and third-graders.
Duquette told the audience that the second-graders had written letters for the veterans and presented them to Cmdr. Trowbridge for distribution. The post planned to deliver the letters to veterans at the veterans home in Tilton.
The President's Veterans Day Proclamation was read by fifth-graders Ashlee Start and Ashley Clark. Members of each class, starting with kindergarten, recognized veterans in their family who were or had been on active duty in the service.
The POW/MIA Remembrance Ceremony was presented by members of the fourth-grade classes. Several veteran-themed poems were read: "Heroes Die for Me" written by Jamie Burns and read by Ryan Turco and Andrew Grillo; "Veterans Day" written by Cheryl Dyson and ready by Alex Tanksley and Shawn Rowell.
Principal Don West then thanked everyone for coming and had everyone stand while the colors were retired. Music teacher Matt Mitchell played taps on the trumpet.
Trowbridge, Trevor McConnell and Hailey Hogencamp then retired the colors.

This focus has led to the Venn Group concentrating on creating high quality, yet affordable homes in Penang for discerning owners.
Our prime concern is to create homes where families will choose to plant their roots and grow in a sense of community. To us, it is important to improve people's lifestyle and well being by providing an environment in which they can prosper. By building to a high standard with the use of quality materials we know that this goal can be achieved.

Question 1. What are the skills needed to train as a clinical neuropsychologist?
Answer: In general terms, you will have the academic ability (brains and stamina!) to complete a doctorate, or in some countries a Masters degree, and a willingness to learn about research. You will be fascinated by how the mind works and eager to learn more about the brain and behavior. When you meet people, you find what they have to say interesting, and they respond to this by telling you more about themselves. You love working with people and you may even like working in a hospital environment! You will be a good team member with the ability to contribute but without having to take center-stage. You will have strong ethical values. If you like to gossip with your friends, you will be very clear about the importance of confidentiality in a work environment, and indeed in your personal life when confidentiality is appropriate. You will know how you are going to finance yourself during the training period. You will have good personal support systems in place. You will have dealt successfully with any psychological problems that you have had in the past, and learned from your experiences. You will have a good sense of humor and be more of an optimist than a pessimist (although a balance is fine)! You will enjoy very hard work. You will be content to earn, in your career, a good salary but not a massive salary. (For the same amount of blood, sweat and tears, there are other careers with the potential to make you much richer financially).
