"When the first living thing existed, I was there, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. I'll put the chairs on tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave."The mascot of death. The nature and purpose of the Grim Reaper actually varies between two different versions: one version describes him as a simple guide, the being who takes you to the next world after you die (the fancy word for this is psychopomp); the other sees him as the actual entity of death — you die when he touches you. Either way, he is generally seen as a tall, often skeletal, spectre in a black hooded robe, who wields a Sinister Scythe when he visits commoners and a sword when he visits royalty, though the scythe is the most common of his symbols. He is also often shown with an hourglass as a symbol of elapsing life. These dual accouterments are Older Than Steam, but both were drawn from the ancient Greco-Roman god Χρόνος (Chronos). This god, in turn, was drawn from the Ur Example of the Sassanid sect's Zoastrian god Zurvan Akarana. He is sometimes described as mute, and in some accounts you can challenge him to a game of chess for the right to stay alive. Often he picks up the characteristics of Charon, the boatman of the river Styx in Greek theology. But even these characteristics are filtered through a Christian veil. The Grim Reaper, in his days as a frequent figure of folk tales, was originally used as a menacing, sombre symbol of the inevitability of death. He first appeared in Western art and folklore with the outbreak of the mid-fourteenth century plague epidemic known to us as the Black Death. As with most folklorish characters, he is no longer taken seriously and may even come across as benign, or played for laughs as a bored civil servant type. Even when he's still treated as a menacing figure, there will be humor involved. Still other representations of death forgo the neutral and buffoonish guise entirely and make Death a God of Evil that must be fought. Conversely, actually meeting him may reveal Don't Fear the Reaper is wiser; dying is not as bad as feared. A frequent modern variation is the notion that instead of the Grim Reaper, you can be a Grim Reaper - that it's a position offered to certain people after they die. When this concept was imported to Japan in the 19th century, they translated the name as Shinigami (while typically translated as god of death, it is literally death kami, which doesn't have quite the same connotations). Japanese media then proceeded to play with the character to the point that many shinigami no longer have anything in common with the Grim Reaper, aside from the name. Shinigami are more typically spirits associated with death, rather than being the singular Anthropomorphic Personification thereof. Thus, the concept of being able to defeat or kill Death in combat (Castlevania) or Grim-Reaper figures themselves being able to die (Death Note) can seem absurd to Western viewers. A subtrope of Psychopomp. Compare to Horsemen of the Apocalypse for when the rest of the Four Man Band show up, and Afterlife Express, when the Grim Reaper is or rides on a vehicle, especially a train. See also Archangel Uriel, Enemies with Death and The Problem with Fighting Death. For the Death Metal band, see Death. As with most public services, expect hilarity to ensue if Death Takes a Holiday. A kinder interpretation may portray him as The Sacred Darkness. 'Death' redirects here. If this isn't what you were looking for, try Death Tropes.

Jewish Museum in Prague
of Holocaust
Curator: Dr. Jana
This section deals with the history of the Holocaust of Bohemian and Moravian Jews, gathering, documenting and classify (among other things) archive documents, photographs and the personal narratives of Holocaust survivors.
This section is responsible for the administration of the Terezín Archive Collection, which contains official documents associated with the activities of the Jewish Council of Elders and their offices in the Terezín ghetto, the estates of Terezín prisoners (literary works, music scores, theatre plays, diaries, albums, magazines) and personal narratives of Holocaust survivors. The second archive collection - Persecution Documents - contains various archive documents and estates from the Holocaust period, which did not originate in the Terezín ghetto, and personal narratives concerning the period of Nazi persecution.
The work of this department also involves the administration of a photography collection from the Holocaust period and of a series of tape-recorded narratives of Holocaust survivors; the latter is an ongoing project that was launched in 1990. This section has at its disposal records - in the form of card indexes, registers and a special computer programme - of Holocaust victims from the territory of the former Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and of Jewish victims from Germany, Austria, Holland and Slovakia who passed through the Terezín ghetto. Staff provide information, research services, photographic records from the Pinkas Synagogue and, where required, searches for data relating to Holocaust victims (both individuals and groups).

Here's what you need to know about Roger Rodas – the driver on Walker's fateful journey
Roger Rodas has been named as the driver in the fatal accident that killed film star Paul Walker.
The 38-year-old was driving a Porsche Carrera GT which lost control and hit a tree before bursting into flames.
Pictures from the scene show the true extent of the tragic car crash that claimed the friends' lives.
There is no suggestion anyone was to blame for the crash which happened when the car hit a tree and before bursting into flames in Los Angeles.

Roads and Walker had raced each other in the Pirelli World Challenge Series. According to Auto Week, they raced at a number of other racing events including 25 Hours of Thunderhill.
It's claimed Walker's busy schedule meant he was unable to be involved as much as he would have liked.
He did a lot of charity work
They are big charity workers and were on their way to an event for Walker's founded fundraiser Reach Out Worldwide.
The charity was part of an aid response team to help those connected to the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010. Rodas also did charity work for The Asomugha Foundation.

The latest buzz travelling all over the world has made credit cards, the ultimate financial bane which should be avoided at all costs. People are unable to keep track of their expenses once they start making use of their credit card for purchases and they find that they are unable to pay the bill which comes to their doorstep at the end of the month. People are advising each other to avoid the purchase or the use of credit cards in order to prevent a huge financial crisis from taking place.
But they do not realize that there are many good credit cards available in the market which will not give rise to a financial crisis and which will also prove to be extremely useful in certain circumstances. Credit cards issued by Citibank as well as Chase Manhattan bank can be classified under the category of good credit cards.
Most of the good credit cards available in the market will not be charging a very high rate of interest. They will not provide a very large credit limit which will reduce the probability of raising a very large bill on the card. A lot of students can make use of these credit cards especially in the event of an emergency. The low rate of interest charged on these cards will make them easily affordable for students and people belonging to a lower income level. Extra benefits like rewards can also be obtained with the help of these credit cards.
The process of finding these useful credit cards is not easy and very few companies usually offer these kinds of credit cards for their customers. A lot of people conduct regular purchases and transactions through the medium of their credit cards since it provides them with the convenience of not carrying large amounts of cash wherever they go. Transactions involving large amounts of money can be conducted easily with the help of these credit cards. This is why you should check your credit score often. You can check your credit score for free at this site.
A lot of effort will be required in order to find the right kind of credit cards which will not make the customer accrue a large amount of debt and also prove to be useful in the required circumstances. The credit card should be selected according to the spending pattern of each person. There are three main criteria which need to be kept in mind while searching for credit cards.
The rate of interest charged by the credit card company is one of the most important factors which need to be considered when selecting a credit card. There are many companies which charge0% interest in the first year after the credit card has been issued. But they might start charging extremely high rates of interest from the second year.
Certain credit companies will also take an annual fee or an introductory fee from their credit card customers. Usually people prefer not to purchase credit cards where an annual fee needs to be paid. The reputation of the credit card company should also be considered carefully before making a choice regarding the credit card.

Indian wicketkeepers have always been encouraged to be many-skilled. Three of five in this list have scored centuries, and one holds the record for the most stumpings in an innings
August 23, 2010

In the years when there were at least three claimants for the wicketkeeper's slot in the Indian team, I suggested that such riches were due to the "squatting" style of emptying the bowels in India. Crouching low with intense concentration prepares those with wicketkeeping ambitions. The writer Ramachandra Guha expanded on that theme, saying that such training was ideal for keeping to spinners.
Jokes aside, the fact remains that India, whose spinners, allrounders, batsmen and fast bowlers can take their place among the best in the world, have not produced a world-class wicketkeeper who would walk into any team for his keeping skills alone. This is partly due to the belief that has gained by repetition: that a single skill is one too few. Long before the Dutch conceived of total football, India had already thrown their weight behind total cricket. Generalists were encouraged from the start - it wasn't enough if you kept wicket, you had to contribute with the bat too.
Wicketkeepers were also expected to open innings; the theory being that the reflexes needed behind the stumps were the same that could take on fast bowling in front of them. Few Indian wicketkeepers have escaped the opening slot. Syed Kirmani is a significant exception. He has batted in every other position.
Five wicketkeepers did duty in India's first 11 Tests, and Dilawar Hussain became the first in the world to score fifties and top-score in each innings.
The best of them in the pre-Tamhane era, Probir Sen and Nana Joshi, didn't have great batting records, although interestingly the former did have a first-class hat-trick for Bengal. It was seven decades before Ajay Ratra became the first regular wicketkeeper to make a century abroad (Vijay Manjrekar had kept wicket and scored a century in the West Indies earlier).
Manjrekar, Lala Amarnath, Dilip Vengsarkar, Rahul Dravid have all kept wicket when the regular keeper has been injured, or in the interests of team balance.
Indian wicketkeepers fall into two groups - the quietly efficient like Joshi, Naren Tamhane, Indrajitsinhji, and later Krishnamurthy, Kirmani and Kiran More, or the flamboyant like Farokh Engineer and Budhi Kunderan. Keeping to the spinners has been the real test.

Do Yoga in the Buff, on a Bluff?
At first I thought the spa invitation said "Do Yoga in the Buff," and the last thing in the world I want to do is perform my favorite yoga postures totally on the nude to be able to see all my drops and drags and swoops. I think that naked yoga is just about the worst idea in the world.(Except if you are wrestling yoga-like with a lover or partner but that is totally off subject.
But the inviting spa invitation actually said:
The Spa at Bacara debuts its "Buff on the Bluff" wellness class, beginning with a guided walk through the resort's 78-acres of flower-filled courtyards, native plants and preserves. At the top we will enjoy a 30-minute wellness session on "The Bluff," a grassy lawn nestled at the highest point of the resort, overlooking views of the coast.
"At Bacara, we strive to offer truly exceptional moments that can only be found at our resort," said Kathleen Cochran, general manager of Bacara. "This wellness class is a perfect reflection of that commitment."
Buff on the Bluff is one of many fitness programs offered at The Spa. A 3,500-square-foot fitness facility is outfitted with state-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment as well as a separate Pilates studio with six reformers. In addition, fitness lovers can enjoy beachside yoga, t'ai chi, aqua-aerobics, qi gong meditation and other group classes.
Follow it up with a round of golf or a fabulous spa treatment.

Cut-Out Cookies
Though cookies don't have to be a complicated holiday baking project, there are still some tricks to getting them just right. When beating your butter and sugar before adding the dry ingredients, mix it for several minutes until it lightens significantly in color the butter should look almost white and creamy. Before you add the dry ingredients there's no way to over-mix, so that's the time to beat lots of air into the dough to ensure a light, chewy cookie. And to keep cookies from spreading excessively while baking (crucial for cut-out cookies especially), chill the finished dough in the fridge for at least an hour before baking (or even overnight).

Plans for new casino get local boost
Cedar Rapids and Linn County leaders say their governing boards will be backing local investors who want to build a casino in the Cedar Rapids area.
City Mayor Ron Corbett and county Board of Supervisors chairman Brent Oleson told The Gazette that the council and the board will agree next week to sign memorandums of understanding in support of the proposal.
Corbett and Oleson say the memorandums are designed to help ensure that the local investment group led by Steve Gray withstands any challenge by a nonlocal group in securing a state license for Linn County.
Corbett says Gray's group is spending all the money to get a voter referendum passed, taking all the risk. Corbett says "there is zero risk to taxpayers."

A colleague tipped me to this blog post at the Netflix Tech Blog that I found both amusing and interesting. Some months back, I was talking about disaster recovery testing with a customer, and he used the phrase "chaos monkey" to describe all the things that can go wrong in the data center in the course of testing a DR plan. Little did I know that there was actually a chunk of code named Chaos Monkey written to make things go wrong on purpose.
The folks at Netflix developed Chaos Monkey to randomly disable instances of their production (yikes!) application to test the service's resilience against such failures. The engineers at Netflix will occasionally turn Chaos Monkey loose in their environment to make its mischief while the engineers monitor service availability.
Since the development of Chaos Monkey, engineers at Netflix have developed other members of what they wryly call their "Simian Army", detailed in this post at their Tech Blog. It all makes very worthwhile reading for those involved in IT service disaster recovery and business continuity. The measures taken by Netflix are very impressive, indeed.
While Netflix engineers take what some might consider an extreme approach to resilience testing, too many people I speak with do little or no testing of their DR plan and when they need to respond to an actual data center-wide outage are left with critical business services unavailable.
Disaster recovery testing may not be as fun as a barrel full of monkeys, but it's a whole lot more fun than explaining why your services aren't running two days after a disaster.
Test often, and test hard.

|I've never tried to grow a cactus from seed. I sowed 1 seed each into 9 small peat pots. I used a mixture of vermiculite and milled sphagnum (sp?) moss.
I put these in a flat, covered with a plastic dome, on a seedling mat. Humidity was never a problem.
Now, 4 weeks later I only got one sprout out of 9.
Did I do anything wrong? I read these were easy to grow.
Also, is there ever any possibility of flowering in zone 4?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by sagebrush36 6 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 18, 08 at 14:44
|I have grown many cacti from seed - I would not have used Sphagnum Moss.
I basically use Schultz's or Hoffmann soil - give it a good soak, cover with plastic and put in a sunny window. Sun is less important that warmth at this point.
One possibility of a mistake - you could have covered the seed with too much dirt. With most cacti, just sprinkle them on the soil - don't bother to 'bury' them.
Cacti seed can be sow anytime of year - I prefer anytime, except late fall. Most will sprout in as little as 5 days, but give yourself 3 weeks.
Was it so moist that fungus developed on the soil? Keep moist, not muddy.
Cactus can bloom indoors if given enough light - but from seed - expect to wait a few YEARS.
I have baby pachycereus pringlei sprouts in an east window, no heating pad, planted March 11 and have about 10 sprouts. Some are threatening to show spines, but they just have their primary leaves. No more plastic, but I have other sprouts still with the plastic on - have one or two Pachypodium sprouts - but I always have a problem keeping them going.
Oh, and by the way, I have San Pedro sprouts from last year - still too tiny to transplant, along with Saguaros and Ferocactus Herrarae
|If anything it was too moist. Also, I did bury the seeds.
I'm running out of seeds, but I'll try one more round with the cactus soil as you talk about.
So am I to expect that my little guy is going to have to live in the peat pot for a year before i can transplant?
Also, should I use dilute fertilizer as I would for other seedlings?
Thanks for the advice.

|I have not had much luck growing cactuses from seeds, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. I'm impressed you got one seedling. You did something right!
Despite my limited knowledge of seedlings, I do have two San Pedro cactuses growing on my patio, one of which is about 3 feet tall. So I have some knowledge of caring for this species.
I think if you've gotten a seedling, it must be at least moderately happy, so presuming you don't encounter any other significant problems, I'd leave it alone until it's old enough to be transplanted. All things being equal, most cactuses generally do not need fertilizer, though there are fertilizers available that are specially made for cactuses. You can use those if you want, but follow the directions carefully. It's even a good idea to ask a knowledgable staffer at your store/nursery of choice about how best to use the fertilizer. A nursery that sells, or better, specializes in cactuses, might be your best bet, if you live near one.
San Pedro cactuses are hardier than your Sonoran Desert/Mexican varieties, but if you have your San Pedros outdoors in Zone 4, I'd still bring them inside no later than the late fall. Fortunately, San Pedro cactuses are one of the best cactuses to grow indoors, provided you give them enough light.
Like many other columnar cactuses, they like to spread their roots out far, so when you transplant, give your guy a pot that's at least as wide as it is deep. And although you want to water sparingly, San Pedros are much more tolerant than your average cactus of extra water, so if you get overly excited and water too much here and there, it should survive. But generally, like any cactus .... when in doubt, don't water. Let it dry out between waterings.
And San Pedro blossoms are rare. As I mentioned, the taller of my San Pedros is 3 feet tall, and it has never bloomed. And I live in Zone 9! (Phoenix)

|One other thing - don't be too tempted about putting them outside in bright sun. They are babies and need protection from the sun. Best kept indoors in a south window if you have one, west and east are second best.
Of course, I have lost many a seedling by being overanxious about putting them outdoors.
Protect from strong sun! Indoor windows are fine.
Saguaros grow in the shade of nurse trees like Ironwood trees. When the trees die with age, the saguaros are grown up enough to handle the direct sun. Saguaros seeds that fall in hot sun will end up dying.
Find a nice pot you like and plan on keeping seedlings in it for the next two years. Avoid large pots, they like to be bunched up, their roots are not long at all.
If you want a 'fast' growing cactus (in cactus terms) - find a prickly pear fruit in the summer at your grocery. Eat it, enjoy it, spit out the seeds, wash them, dry them off and plant using my instructions and you have 'real' cacti by next summer. They'll sprout in 10 days or so and you'll see spines a few weeks after that.

Invitations are the calling card of your event. Not only do they inform your guests of the basics, but they set the tone to what your guests can expect. Have them anticipating an uniquely memorable event with custom invitations designed especially for you.
This invitation came to life with the unique ideas planned by the Bride and Groom for their wedding reception.
All the guests wrote a wish on a card for the Bride and Groom's future, which was then tied to a giant butterfly balloon. They later released the balloon and wishes with a hundred live butterflies into the sky.
We incorporated that idea with the lovely vineyard surroundings to create an elegant yet whimsical invitation. As a pre-wedding gift, the butterfly was made into a magnet for the guests to remember the special day.

I recently read a Daily Beast article on autistic males and child pornography by Temple Grandin's mother. I shared the story on my Facebook and was surprised at the mix of strongly positive and negative responses the story generated. Whatever your thoughts about that particular story, it's become increasingly clear that this is a subject that merits reasoned discussion.
Sex crime is a distasteful subject, and the last thing I want is a negative association between autism and such behavior. Autistic people ARE NOT by nature sexual predators of any sort. Multiple studies have shown autistic people are likely to to be victims far more often that we are perpetrators of crime in general and sex crime in particular. Abuse of people with disabilities is a well known and tragically common situation. Let's be absolutely clear on that. At the same time, I feel I must speak up. I say it here, and I'll repeat it later: Very few autistic people will ever have trouble with sex crimes. Very few NT people get involved in sex crime either, for that matter. But those that do are highly visible and the autistic ones I have met needed help much more than punishment. Ignoring that reality is like ignoring the teachers who locked autistic people in basements at school when I was a kid.

Review Details
Tornado Stainless Steel Manual Wheatgrass Juicer - BL-27
Product Rating:
- Product Review (submitted on September 5, 2011):
- This product needs a lot of wheatgrass to produce very small amount of wheat grass juice. It takes approximately 30 min. to juice one ounce of wheatgrass. It is easy to clean. It takes 5 min. to take apart and clean it total. Make sure to dry completely before putting it back together.

Carrier Corp. is enhancing the warranties on its 90% + efficient gas furnaces. Carrier will provide a 20-year parts and labor warranty for the secondary heat exchanger.
The enhancements respond to a recent class-action lawsuit by a small number of U.S. and Canadian consumers claiming premature failure on the secondary heat exchanger found in Carrier, Bryant, Payne, and Day & Night high-efficiency condensing gas furnaces that are 90% AFUE or greater and were produced after Jan. 1, 1989. (Day & Night furnaces sold after January 2007 are not affected.) Carrier denies the claims and maintains that it acted lawfully and properly.

Gordon Ramsay loves to berate his Hell's Kitchen contestants, and he's in medium-rare form on season 5's premiere (Fox, Jan. 29, 9 p.m.). Can you tell which four zingers are his, and which we cooked up?
1. ''That looks like medical waste. And tastes worse.''
2. ''The dish is clumsy...just like you!''
3. ''I just threw up in my mouth, and it tasted better than that soufflé.''
4. ''I feel like I need some plastic wrap on my ass.''
5. ''This makes me want to sew my mouth shut. Hideous!''
6. ''You serve, they eat straight after they vomit.''
7. ''Who's cooked the diapers?''
8. ''Have you ever tasted your own cooking? Take my advice: Don't.''

Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:C)
A global financial services firm, Citigroup provides a range of offerings to consumer and corporate customers.
C is tracking the other banks and the market downward. If we get news of a Fed intervention next week, a year end rally may still be possible. With the US dollar gaining strength, this would appear to be the perfect time to announce QE3.
Since the banks get the money first, C and the other big banks would rise faster than the overall market.
In the absence of QE3 the financial sector will likely underperform the market.

text: Did this last night to wind down a bit. I thought I would spend a relaxing day in the house with my kids yesterday, which actually, as usual, turned out to be a bad idea. I always have this perfect vision in my head of folding my Downey-soft basket of laundry, the curtains swaying gently in the breeze while my children play quietly on the floor. Well, that never happens. Instead, the laundry never gets done and my kids are trying to do flips off the coffee table. The day ends up being way more stressful than a trip to Disneyland on it's most crowded day in the middle of summer. So after the little ones fell asleep, I treated myself to some trash tv and sketched away!

Hanging By Her Teeth – Bonnie Greer
Humorous, Sexy and always very sharp...refuses any comfortable racial essentialism...achieves what many post-modern cultural theorists attempt but cannot express with anything approaching her eloquence; how borrowed, mutable and fragile our sense of ourselves can be, and she does so entertainingly - TLS
By turns lyrical and painful ...Hanging by Her Teeth is [a] strange and mystical tale
- New York Times
Always fresh, honest and often very funny – Time Out
Iced – Ray Shell
The book is a powerhouse…the man writes beautifully…the story is heartbreaking…I kept putting it down and picking it up again…the book won't let me go - Maya Angelou
'has the virtues of performance art – its first person narrative is energized by the power of the speaking voice, which expresses itself in a jagged syncopated style, reminiscent of a rap monalogue. The book also has the values of pulp fiction, it's difficult to put down, even during its most violent moments. Shell understands that an experience so extreme requires it's own form and fictional devices: he absorbs political rants, paranoid delusions, and reflections on social disorder into Cornelius' fragmented consciousness and renders with great sympathy both the mental state of an addict at the pitch of his addiction and the desperation and brutality of a subculture that services such a habit. – The New Yorker
gripping and horrifying – The Guardian
an unconventional, powerful, funny, important novel… a fully imagined fiction…Shell's invocation of the thoughts, feelings and ambience of a crack smoker are the best I've ever read. Above all, because of Cornelius' original and authentic voice, as well as the book's postmodern presentation, it should reach a new readership – Times Literary Supplement
Shell's writing is frighteningly compelling… compulsive reading – LA Times
A quite extraordinarily powerful, hairy and grim diary… Watch it. – The Bookseller
resonates with authentic and chilling power. Ray Shell writes with great style, by word of mouth alone this will be a bestseller – The Punter
tremendous talent – Alarm
This is a tour de force, make no mistake about it… The strength of Shell's writing is his ability to pull you into a terrifying, funny, immensely sad and exciting world - The Voice
It hooks you… this is one of those books you can't put down – Touch
Extraordinary – a modern American tragedy, sharply told. Brilliant. – Lenny Henry
This novel demands superlatives: it is powerful, haunting, devastating and brilliant – Sydney Telegraph
Shell writes with a haunting lyricism that mesmerizes – a kind of poetry of the streets. Full of authenticity and interspersed with humor, this is a classic – Orange County Register
Filled with brilliant and harrowing stream of consciousness… Iced is highly reminiscent of William Burroughs' Junkie, as powerful as Nelson Algren's Man With The Golden Arm, and deserving of shelf space next to Richard Price's extraordinary Clockers – New York
Daily News
Powerful and poetic – San Francisco Chronicle
A Son Called Gabriel – Damien Nicholl
Comic, courageous and often painful, this is a beautifully paced and balanced novel that will have an assured place in contemporary Irish writing - Seamus Deane
Fire Horses – Mark Liam Piggot
Like riding pillion on a motorbike driven by a poet – Jonathan Trigell
Passionate, powerful and poetic- a fine debut from an original talent – John King
Silence – Josie Henley Einion
Bang on the button… this challenges and confronts and asks questions of you as well as of the issues it tackles – Metro
Barber's Apple – Michael Marr
an extraordinary talent, perhaps a Waugh in the making – his fiction is at once hilarious, bloody-minded, and heartbreaking. - Richard Greene
Marr's wit, crazy intelligence and daring suggest a career ripe with promise
- Independent on Sunday
astute, fun and energetic - Fay Weldon
The Snowing and Greening of Thomas Passmore - Paul Burman
An inventive, passionate and insightful writer – The Independent
The Well –Tempered Clavier – Willliam Coles
What a read! Every schoolboy's dream comes true in this deftly written treatment of illicit romance. A triumph – Alexander McCall Smith
Heading South – Luke Bitmead & Catherine Richards
Great stuff. Wonderfully witty and sexy – Deborah Wright
Queer Fish In God's Waiting Room – Lee Henshaw
Distinctive and engaging – The Guardian
Like a stoned new Kerouac… simply brilliant – Dom Joly
In The Footsteps Of Harrison Dextrose – Nick Griffiths
Charming – The Guradian
The book Nick Hornby would have written if he's spent his life obsessing about Dr. Who rather than footie' – Mail On Sunday
conjures up just how mind-blowing it was for an ordinary suburban kid to be transported to a realm of danger and rampant sci-fi imaginings – Financial Times
Earth Inc. – Michael Bollen
A funny, charming, inventive comic novel. Michael Bollen's warmth, sharp wit and eye for satirical detail reminded me of Douglas Adams. Quite possibly the best work of fiction since the Bible – Stephen Merchant from The Office
Black President – Rick Schmidt
This book changed my life – Vin Diesel
Salt & Honey – Candi Miller
An evocative and intriguing read – Heat Magazine, Top 10
Journey – Jae Watson
Ambitious and bold…a book that ventures of the beaten track in more ways than one… intoxicating evocation of the traveller's colourful world – Roundtable Review
Vibrant and colourful with a rich vein of insights, wit and wisdom – Geoff Mather
The Angel Makers – Jessica Gregson
Lyrical, moving and disturbing, this is a gripping read – The Gloss Magazine
Too Little Too Late – Colin Challen
An expert – Gordon Brown

The part-time positions are fully covered in benefits after 1 year and there are several shifts you can choose from. Depending on your area they might also have a tuition assistance program. Great for those of you in school.Cons
I've had several different managers and supervisors while working part-time for UPS and if they do not have their act together your shift does not run well and life can be overly stressful.

How About a Guy in a Brian Terry Mask Shoots Obama in the Ass??
That would be fair game, no?
Big Bird is angry at Romney and slams him. We get it.
Now let's carry out a little pageant play that means something, shall we?
» 23 Comments
All that for a damned Big Bird?Noteworthy Comment +12
O.k. – I'll admit it – I found this kind of amusing. It's high school, and they had some fun with Romney's statement that he would defund Big Bird's network. Big Bird can't dance worth crap, though.+8
A black man in white-face!
Imagine an all white marching band that has a cartoon character kicking the crap out of a white man in black-face that was supposed to be Obama.
How many 'apology tours' would that require?
I say hold the others side to the same standards, that's all.Noteworthy Comment +34
What I posted on YouTube:
I'd have the Principle and Band Director FIRED for not only the overt politicizing of a high school function (Leftists, keep YOUR religion of Marx OUT of OUR schools!), but also for the VIOLENCE (that Leftist CLAIM to dislike when it's convenient to THEM) towards our NEXT PRESIDENT.
BTW – "The Foreign National calling himself Obama" DESERVED negative treatment these past years for "Fundamentally Transforming" our country into as big of POS as HE IS.Noteworthy Comment +29
Double standard all the way!! But, hey, what do you expect in a 'post racial' society?Noteworthy Comment +17
The Big Bird/Romney show was overshadowed by the fact that that band sucked so much. Bloody awful!Noteworthy Comment +13
A minstrel halftime show directed by Ralph Bakshi's grandson+8
Not a lot of white people in that band.
Oh wait, I meant to say no white people in the band.
Where's the diversity? Is this fair?Noteworthy Comment +15
I got A front row seat for a great show tomorrow night. The fat lady will sing at around 10:00 EST. And it won't be a halftime show for you, Barky.Noteworthy Comment +11
I would do a skit of Obama being tucked into bed by the White House Servants and in the background his TV is playing the live feed of Chris Stvens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty beign attacked and killed.
Too much?
I wouldn't show the part when Stevens was sodomized…that might go too far…Noteworthy Comment +16
Black people want to blame the violence and poverty in their self-segregated community on everyone else. …while they assault a political figure in effigy.
Yes, I get it – it was a joke. But it just exemplifies everything I despise about "black" culture. Free speech is only guaranteed if the mob agrees with you.Noteworthy Comment +16
I am quite sure Saul Alinksy would be VERY proud.
Love the Ebonics too….and youz bez wundring wi u aintz gotz a job doowing anyting but cleanin toilets?+8
That's funny. This is what we say here in Chicago…
… fuking niggers.(And I believe THIS comment is just as inappropriate as the jungle dance half time show, but hey, they wanted a reaction, so this is the reaction…)
BTW, an empty chair can't dance…..+8
Every body knows White Men don't dance.+1
I am getting as sick of minority rule as the black South Africans were. Enough of this shit. Black democrats come in two broad catagories: idiot and thug. And don't want either group running my life ever again. Been there. Done that. They're racist, fascist assholes.+9
Can you imagine even one person "in da house" being offended by this ?
Mr Robinson's neighborhood's hs.0
It wasn't a half-time show. It was practice for Tuesday night's riots. They should have had the dancer chase a guy dressed up as a stolen TV.+8
Well sonofabitch! That's MY Hometown! That, my friends, was the NC Central University Homecoming game on Saturday, if I'm not much mistaken. Those are Central's colors and their sashes said "CENTRAL". It's a "HBU" that MOOOOshell has hung around all year! She's been there severaltimes in the past few months alone. They actually extended an invitation about a week ago to the Durham GOP to participate in their Homecoming Parade! I saw a pic on FB of a handful of older white folks holding the GOP banner, preparing to walk in the parade. I prayed for their safety and told them they were either the bravest or dumbest people I've ever seen. NCCU has one of the highest crime rates in the ACC. But white people can actually get minority scholarships to go there. I have several white friends who've grajated from there. The campus is no more than 5 miles from Duke University. And while the cost and the value of a degree from the two schools are worlds apart, in reality the mindset and basic philosophy of the two are the exact same thing… Marxism, by any means necessary!!!+4
Can someone advise me on this:
Starting yesterday, all the videos posted both here and elsewhere, start to load then the screen goes gray and says AirPlay and at bottom, "This video is playing on AppleTV" and I can watch it. I am using an iPad. What's going on?0
I powered off and back on…it's working now. Just in case anyone was worried for me+3
Bunch of thugs…Why are they wasting time in school when they should be out on the streets?
Black band, black audience, black neighborhood…Big Fucking deal.
Let's see what kind of dance they will put on after Tuesday night when Obama gets his salad tossed by the electorate.+3
I bet dey ar no honkeys wit in a mile uh dat skuul.0
This happened in Beaumont,Texas.Central High School.+1
