Justo Rufino Barrios
Justo Rufino Barrios (July 19, 1835 – April 2, 1885) was a President of Guatemala known for his liberal reforms and his attempts to reunite Central America.
Barrios was born in the village of San Lorenzo, in the department of San Marcos. He was known from his youth for his intellect and energy, went to Guatemala City to study law, and became a lawyer in 1862. In 1867, revolt broke out in western Guatemala, which many residents wished to return to its former status of an independent state as Los Altos. Barrios joined with the rebels in Quetzaltenango, and soon proved himself a capable military leader, and in time gained the rank of general in the rebel army. In July 1871, Barrios, together with other generals and dissidents, issued the "Plan for the Fatherland" proposing to overthrow Guatemala's long entrenched Conservadora (conservative) administration; soon after, they succeeded in doing so, and General García Granados was declared president and Barrios commander of the armed forces. While Barrios was back in Quetzaltenago, García Granados was overthrown by a revolt. Barrios again marched on the capital and became the new president. The Conservative government in Honduras gave military backing to a group of Guatemalan Conservatives wishing to take back the government, so Barrios declared war on the Honduran government. At the same time, Barrios, together with President Luis Bogran of Honduras, declared an intention to reunify the old United Provinces of Central America.
Barrios instituted a number of reforms, including freedom of the press. He attacked the Catholic Church, limiting its power and confiscating its property. He was elected President in May 1873.
Barrios oversaw substantial cleaning and rebuilding of Guatemala City, and set up a new and accountable police force. He brought the first telegraph lines and railroads to the Republic. He established a system of public schools in the country.
In 1879, a constitution was ratified for Guatemala (the Republic's first as an independent nation, as the old Conservador regime had ruled by decree). In 1880, Barrios was reelected President for a six-year term. Barrios unsuccessfully attempted to get the United States of America to mediate the disputed boundary between Guatemala and Mexico.
Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras agreed to reform the Central American Union, but then Salvadoran President Rafael Zaldivar decided to withdraw from the union, and sent envoys to Mexico to join in an alliance to overthrow Barrios. Mexican President Porfirio Díaz feared Barrios' liberal reforms and the potential of a strong Central America as a neighbor if Barrios' plans bore fruit. Díaz sent Mexican troops to seize the disputed land of Soconusco. Meanwhile, Barrios was personally leading the army into El Salvador, where he was killed at Chalchuapa, El Salvador. Much of the hope for a reunited Central America died with him.
Today, his portrait is on the five quetzal bill in Guatemala and the city and port of Puerto Barrios, capital of Izabal, bears his name.

I inherited a bunch of raspberry plants along the fence in my backyard. How do I care for them? And prune them? Will they come back year after year? |
Follow-Up Postings:
They will not only come back year after year, but most likely they will spread vigorously if you don't keep them in check. As for pruning, it greatly depends on whether your raspberry is primocane-fruiting or floricane-fruiting. I've linked to the Cornell extension's fact sheet, which will tell you what to do in either case. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Raspberry Pruning (Cornell Extension)
Raspberry canes live for 2 years, and for the most part, they only produce fruit the 2nd year. So at any given time, you will have 1st year canes just beginning the cycle, 2nd year canes that produce fruit, and older canes that are dead. The old dead wood should be removed immediately. The 2nd year canes should be thinned to 5-6 canes per foot, keeping the strongest ones that are within the row that you want to maintain. Dozens of others will probably need to be removed. But keep all the baby canes that start out sort of purple in spring then turn a brighter green. If they spread too far from your row you can prune them out but let the other babies grow. Raspberries spread underground like weeds. They will get all over the place if you let them. They are very vigorous, very hardy plants, difficult to kill. Even in shade or without much water or poor soil they will grow and spread like nothing else. |

i was looking through me old composition books...the ones i used when i used to write a lot of poetry and such...and so it thought i should share some with you guys...i don't care you you don't like it or not, it doesn't really matter to me...lol its all old feelings...the past is the past and it should be kept there. here's one that i called "The Destroyer";
the pain is unbearable
but it's the only way out
as the blade cuts
and my life is flowing.
the only way it'll stop
is from the one thing i despise
it may hide the scar that has been made
but it shows that something is hidden
hidden from the stares that arise.
as i sit there
huddled in my own secret destination
the hurt and sadness is gone
run out by the transquility of pain.
the pain starts to lessen
and my life begins to fade
my eyes soon start to close
and the worst of all feelings begin to take control
i feel my one true enemy
turn into my savior
and take what was once mine
my life is now not in my hands
but in the hands
of the Destroyer.
You're good.
3 wheels are better than 4!
It was really good and I could relate to it, as a few ppl on here could...nice poem.
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman

The Thread That Binds Us
June 30, 2010 at 2:25 pm Leave a comment
I am in the process of starting a needlework group in my community. Years ago, I belonged to a similar group in the Philippines. Gosh, I still cherish the memories of those Thursday mornings when we would gather together at each others' homes to stitch and chat. It was a unique opportunity – one that enabled me to form lasting friendships while sharing my love of crochet with others. Also, it was in this group that I learned to hand quilt and embroider – two priceless gifts.
So, with that in mind, it has long been a goal of mine to start a another group in my current neighborhood – to provide a comfortable setting where woman can come together on a regular basis to simply stitch and discuss whatever is on their minds.
As the first meeting quickly approaches, I have been thinking a lot lately about the role that crochet has played in my life over the years. After all, I have been making things with yarn or thread and hook in hand since 1979…..ooh, how scary is that!
I have come to the conclusion that there is an unparalleled connection among needlers that transcends time. When I crochet, not only am I connected to my fellow needlers on Ravelry or those ladies from my stitching group in the Philippines, I feel a unique sisterhood with women from all walks of life and who have graced this Earth throughout the ages. As I stitch, I feel an incredible bond with…..
- Quaker women from the 17th century who embroidered elaborate tapestries.
- African American slave women who created beautiful quilts out of their masters' scraps. These were often used to mark the path of the Underground Railroad.
- Civil War heroines who knitted countless numbers of socks for Union and Confederate soldiers alike.
- Victorian women who perfected the art of lace-making with dignity and poise.
- Irish women who supported their families during the potato famine with the creation of amazing crochet lace.
- Pioneer women who filled their hope chests with handmade creations to decorate their homes and clothe their future children.
- Paraguayan women who grace the nooks and crannies of this hidden oasis selling their colorful nanduti art.
- Indian women who embroider elaborate scenes on their saris, telling stories for generations to come.
- Japanese women who continue to hand sew intricate silk kimonos and pass on the gift of Japanese embroidery.
This list could go on and on. But, I wanted to share my current inspiration. I think of these women with ever stitch that I make. And, I am so thankful that along the way they bothered to share their needle artistry with others so that today a new generation of women can pass the legacy onward.

Collect data and conduct vital research on large predators, including lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena to provide information for the Thanda Foundation. This will involve being in the bush to observe hunting, social, breeding and territorial behaviour at various different times of the day.
To give you an idea of how your time will be split between the different aspects of the program, the following should be taken as an approximation:
Large Predator Research and Monitoring 40-50%
Conservation work within the Park 30-40%
Data Recording 10-20%
During your volunteering time you will be specifically focusing on the hunting, social, territorial and reproductive behaviours of the lion and leopard populations. Other data will also be collected to improve our understanding of the animals' behaviours. The monitoring of the wildlife through close observations and research initiatives plays a vital role in the ongoing conservation and protection of Africa's Big Cats!
This project will give you the opportunity to learn about these beautiful animals as well as give you an authentic experience of life in the African bush. You will be working in a changing, dynamic environment which is determined by the movement and activities of the animals. Each individual contribution is significant in helping us to achieve our long term goals.
Your role as a volunteer will include:
• Collating and recording research data on the lions and leopards. This will involve being in the bush to observe hunting, social, breeding and territorial behaviour at various different times of the day.
• Be involved in night drives to monitor the movements of the predators.
• Capturing data as required by the reserve management team on their ongoing endangered species work.
• Finding and removing snares. This is a vital part of the anti-poaching effort..
• Carrying out physical work to help regenerate natural bush from reclaimed farmland including the prevention of further soil erosion and the removal of old structures to avoid injuries for animals.
• Contributing to the long term strategy of removing alien plant species from the reserve.

Dear Friend and Horseman,
Welcome to another Horse Training Tips Newsletter.
A couple of my members emailed me with very good questions about leads and lead changes. I thought it may be beneficial to share them with you.
Hi Larry,
Do you have a video that will talk about feeling the leads?
I have ridden all my life but never cared before…the horse took care
of it.
Now I am riding in an arena and leads are important.
My horse is very smooth and one side feels just like the other!
I have read a hundred books and watched other trainer's videos about
but they don't tell you how to feel them!
I can't ride him in performances until I can feel the leads.
Also, do you know
how to teach a horse the leads by moving the shoulders over
rather than moving the hind quarters over? I have heard it is a much
method and that you can do flying changes easily after they know this.
I would appreciate any help.
My reply:
Hi LaDora,
Here is how you can feel what lead your horse is on.
If you will pay attention, you will notice that if the horse is on the
"left" lead,
your left "thigh" will be farther forward than your other thigh.
And, vise-versa when the horse is on his right lead.
In other words, when the horse is on the left lead, the left side of the
rider's body
will be slightly leading (farther forward) the other side of his body.
Getting a horse to pick up a particular lead by moving his shoulders in
the direction
of the lead, is fine when you first start working with a horse.
However, over time, you really need to teach him to pick up the lead by
moving his
HINDQUARTERS in the direction of the desired lead. This "hindquarter
first" lead
departure is CRITICAL if you hope to have control over which lead the
horse takes.
In a nut shell, if you want the horse to
pick up the left lead, keep the
shoulders straight and move his hindquarters to the left as you ask for
the lope.
Always remember, its the
hindquarters that dictate the lead. Not the
If you get the horse to pick up the correct lead behind, the front end will automatically pick up the correct lead also. However, getting the lead in front is no guarantee the horse will pick it up behind.
The "hindquarter first" lead departure is also mandatory for laying the
foundation for
a good FLYING LEAD CHANGE.
You should WANT your horse to do a "hindquarter first" lead change as
this is the
smoothest, most reliable lead change there is.
Asking a horse to change leads "shoulder first", will often cause a
horse to MISS
his hind lead. Plus, it's not as smooth and takes the horse an extra
stride to complete.
Now, after saying that, keep in
mind some horses are natural lead changers that will change beautifully
no matter what. And of course, there is the other kind that won't change
for nothin'.

Another email question:
Hi Larry,
I'm having problems with my leads and lead changes and was hoping you might give me some advice.
When I ask my horse to pick up the right lead, a lot of times he won't. I move his hindquarters to the right and then kick him to lope but he'll go into the wrong lead anyway.
Same thing when I ask him to do a flying lead change. I'll try to move his hindquarters over to get the change but he'll usually not get the hind lead. He ends up in the correct lead in front and the wrong lead behind.
Is it me or the horse? What can I do?
P.S. I have one of your Inner Circle videos. It's awesome. I want to get
more but see that you have closed the Inner Circle program. Any way to
just get the tapes?
My reply:
Hi Jack,
I'll address your question about the Inner Circle videos first. Yes, I plan on making the Inner Circle videos available. The information they contain is too good not to share. Call my assistant, Bev and she'll tell you the deal. 707-665-0833.
Okay, lets get to your problem with the leads.
Keep in mind that without actually seeing you ride the horse, I can only guess what is happening. However, your problem is a common one that I've seen many times so I'm pretty sure I know what's going wrong.
I believe there are actually two separate things that are causing your problem.
Reason #1. When you are moving the horse's hindquarters over to cue for the lead, you are unknowingly letting the horse's shoulders drift that direction too… causing the horse to pick up the wrong lead behind.
If you are going to ask your horse to pick up the left lead, you need to move his hindquarters to the left AND make sure his shoulders stay put. It may even be helpful to hold the shoulders a little to the right.
Remember, ONLY the hindquarters should move in the direction of the lead. If you let the shoulders move in that direction, it cancels out the hindquarters.
This advice goes for lead departures as well as flying lead changes.
Reason #2. You are trying to use your legs for positioning the hindquarters as well as a cue to accelerate into the lope… and that won't work(at least not on a green horse).
Whenever we use our legs to move a horse's hindquarters over to pick up a certain lead, we are in fact "positioning" his body with our legs. We need to keep our leg on the horse so his hindquarters stay in position as he picks up the lope.
Once he is in the lope on the correct lead, we release our leg.
Because our legs are used for positioning in this maneuver, its necessary that we have a different cue to ask the horse to accelerate into the lope.
If we try to use our legs for both positioning AND accelerating, it confuses the horse and makes him unsure of what we want.
So, once I have moved the horse's hindquarters over, I cluck or kiss to him as his cue to pick up the lope. That way I can keep his hindquarters where I want them as I ask him to lope… There are no conflicting signals to confuse the horse.
I suggest you practice your lead departures while riding at a walk, next to a fence. Let's say the fence is on your right and you want to pick up the left lead…
First, pick up your reins and move them slightly to the right to block the horse's shoulders from moving off the fence.
Second, move your right leg back a little, turn your toe out and apply enough pressure to move the horse's hindquarters over to the left. Push the hindquarters away from the fence about a foot or two. Keep them there as you continue to walk forward. (your horse will be two-tracking down the fence).
Third, with the horse's hindquarters pushed to the left, cluck to the horse to ask him to lope.
If the horse lopes off on the correct lead, release all leg and rein pressure and let him go.
If he picks up the wrong lead, correct him by stopping immediately, move his hindquarters to the left and ask for the lope again. Repeat as many times as necessary for him to take the lead.
Here are some common mistakes when asking for "left" lead departures.
Mistake #1: Letting the horse's shoulders drift and not keeping them right next to the fence.
Mistake #2: Not keeping the horse's hindquarters to the left as the horse breaks into the lope. Just as the horse starts to lope, the rider will mess up and release the hindquarters too soon. Thus, missing the lead.
Mistake #3: The horse doesn't pick up the lope when the rider clucks to him. You need to have your horse conditioned to accelerate when he hears the cluck. During your normal rides, cluck to the horse, if he doesn't speed up, pop him on the butt.
Mistake #4: The horse isn't broke. To do lead departures or changes that are consistent and look good, the horse needs to have good initial training.
He needs to be supple, he needs to lightly move away from pressure and he needs to be good in the face. If any of these ingredients are missing, performance will be inconsistent and way below par.
It may be hard for you to grasp a mental picture of all this just from reading. However, once you actually see it in action, it'll make perfect sense to you.
To see this in action, I suggest you watch my video on flying lead changes.
It wouldn't hurt to watch my foundation training video, either. The one on turns, circles and leads.
I should also say, the training and cueing techniques that I have outlined above work extremely well on a wide variety of horses. However, those techniques are not the only way to get this done. Just a very good way.
Good luck.

Well, this wraps it up for this newsletter. I hope you liked it.

Baseball: Matadors take first two games against Riverside; look for first sweep of the season
CSUN looked to have the advantage heading into the series over UC Riverside and quickly showed its dominance taking the first two games of the weekend for the series win, beginning with a 8-7 victory in 10 innings.
The offense provided the runs while the pitching managed to stave off a Highlander comeback in the first meeting then shut down UCR's lineup in Saturday's matchup in a 7-3 win.
On Saturday, CSUN's Jerry Keel turned in another impressive outing with eight innings on the mound while striking out a career-high six batters.
Keel allowed seven hits and two earned runs en route to his fifth win of the year and his third in conference.
The 2-3-4 hitters in the lineup for CSUN each had three hits compiling nine of the Matadors 14 hits.
Vogelsang came around to score twice while extending his hitting streak to eight games.
Williams notched his sixth home run of the year with a solo shot to start of the second inning. CSUN would go on to take three runs from the Highlanders and not see a deficit in the rest of the game.
Northridge added a combined four insurance runs in the eighth and ninth.
Senior Justen Gorski came in to pitch in the ninth and allowed a run on two hits but it was too little too late for the Highlanders as CSUN came away with the win.
Junior Cal Vogelsang extended his hitting streak to eight games on Friday, while the power bats of Adam Barry and Miles Williams knocked a pair of balls beyond the Riverside walls.
Northridge pulled off another thrilling extra-inning victory in the series opener with a Vogelsang double into right field that scored Raslowsky.
Barry continued his hot hitting with a three-run blast in the first, but junior Alex Muren put the Highlanders right back into the game allowing three runs of their own in the bottom half.
Muren threw 5 2/3 innings and scattered 10 hits but only allowing one more run after the first inning hiccup.
Freshman Ryan Raslowsky paced the CSUN offense with three hits and two walks and came around to score two runs on the day including the eventual winning run.
Redshirt freshman Louis Cohen came in to relieve Muren and pitched 3 2/3 innings of four-hit baseball. Cohen allowed three runs during his time on the mound, but came away with the victory after sophomore Harley Holt closed out the 10th with two Highlander runners on base for the save and the win.

Since its inception in 1995, the Acura TL has always been a stylish expression of attainable Japanese luxury, and when the second generation arrived in 1999, the car quickly rose to the top of the near-lux segment. Soon after, with the help of the sporty Type-S, the TL became Acura's top-selling vehicle. The problem was that even the Type-S wasn't the driver's car that other companies were offering. Enter the new-for-2004 Acura TL, with a smooth 270-horse V-6, much-improved dynamics, and interior and exterior styling befitting a car costing well more than the mid-$30K pricetag, giving it strong competitive footing. With the third-generation TL, Acura also set out to define itself as a leader in innovation, offering one of the industry's first Bluetooth hands-free phone interfaces and a standard DVD audio system.
Redesigned for 2004, the dramatic TL is muscular, edgy, and modern. Every crisp line exudes both performance and luxury, making the TL arguably more attractive than the much costlier RL sedan. It looks low and long, and indeed the TL is more than eight inches longer than a Mercedes-Benz C-class and nearly equal in length to an Infiniti G35. As with the rest of the Acura line, there are no trim levels, so every TL looks basically the same, with the exception of those equipped with optional wheels or the pricey A-Spec package. That option, installed at dealers, adds anthracite 18-inch wheels, a lowered suspension, a rear spoiler, and an aero kit.
The clean modernity of the exterior styling is carried gracefully into a well thought-out cabin. While wood-grain trims are available, the more contemporary black plastic and aluminum look that comes with darker interior colors works better with the blue and white gauges to create a cool and relaxed ambiance. Acura prides itself on making the buying experience as easy as possible, as reflected in the single-item (navigation) options list; everything else comes standard. Those standard amenities include XM satellite radio, the aforementioned Bluetooth connectivity, DVD surround sound audio, a 10-way adjustable driver's seat, and a favorite feature for cold winters, heated seats. Gauges are bright and easy to read, and steering-wheel-mounted controls allow you to keep your eyes on the road. The plush leather seats are comfortable and, amazingly, head- and legroom for all passengers are superior to those of the flagship RL.

Hewlett-Packard Debuts New Signage Displays
This week at the National Retail Federation convention, Hewlett-Packard unveiled new digital signage solutions designed for the retail market, including new displays and a software vendor program for building certified hardware systems that are tested to support leading digital signage software applications.
Hewlett Packard LD4210
This week at the National Retail Federation convention, Hewlett-Packard unveiled new digital signage solutions designed for the retail market, including new displays and a software vendor program for building certified hardware systems that are tested to support leading digital signage software applications.
"Customers are increasingly sophisticated, and HP's new solutions provide retailers with efficient and compelling ways to engage customers throughout their entire shopping experience—from home, on the go, and in the store," said Ray Carlin, vice president of HP's Retail Solutions Global Business Unit, in a statement. "Our ongoing investments in comprehensive software and hardware solutions enable our customers to differentiate themselves from the competition, build customer loyalty, and ultimately help grow their bottom line."
HP officials said the new digital signage displays are "smarter, slimmer, and more comprehensive" than previous models. The HP LD4201 Digital Signage Display is designed for business owners who manage their own in-store advertising. It's an affordable, 42-inch diagonal full HD display built to run up to 14 hours per day. It comes with a standard two-year limited warranty, which the company says it longer than typical one-year warranties available for similar TVs of this class.
The new commercial-grade HP LD4210 and LD4710 Digital Signage Displays are 42- and 47-inch diagonal models with continuous full HD native resolutions. They feature an Ethernet port for LAN/network connections and include HP Network Sign Manager software for changing settings on-the-fly from a single source via the network. DisplayPort in and out connections provide compatibility with HP's digital signage players and help simplify cabling requirements for video walls, according to the company. The commercial models come with a standard three-year warranty.
All the new digital signage displays have HP Media Sign Player technology embedded to help simplify media playing from the display. Pictures, movies, and music can be run and managed from a USB memory stick for convenient playback of dynamic advertising without needing a PC or software installation. Each digital signage display is also equipped with built-in scaler technology that facilitates daisy chains of up to 25 displays for creating videowalls. The bezels on the LD4210 and LD4710 are about half the width of their predecessors' bezels, according to HP.
The HP LD4201, LD4210, and LD4710 Digital Signage Displays are expected to be available starting Feb. 1. Reference list pricing in the United States is $1,299 for the LD4201, $1,499 for the LD4210 and $1,999 for the LD4710. HP Digital Signage Display wall mounts, speakers and stand kits also are available.
HP's new independent software vendor program expands the digital signage market for larger retailers and helps software companies succeed by assisting with business and technical challenges, HP officials said. Program participants, including digital signage and in-store media software companies, provide certified hardware configurations optimized for smooth and reliable operation. Software companies work jointly with HP's technical, marketing, and regional sales organizations to serve customers. Charter members include Broadsign, C-nario, Four Winds Interactive, Omnivex, Reflect Systems, Scala, and YCD Multimedia.

After the brawl: Verbal assault on the train
This is one in a series of pieces based on reporting by seven Washington Post staff writers who spent Tuesday night in Washington's East End, taking in the scene in the aftermath of last Friday's brawl in the Metro system, talking to the teens who have taken to hanging out in the city's new tourism and entertainment district, as well as to police, residents, tourists, and business owners. Reporter Kevin Sieff spent the evening with young people as they headed from Seventh Street NW back home via Metro:
8:05 p.m.
Alton Barrett, 41, is chilling, slumped against a brick pillar outside the Metro station, not doing much of anything — an insouciance he has refined at Gallery Place since 1985. He wears a black hoodie, black Nationals cap and black headphones. Ask what has changed about this part of downtown Washington near 7th and H streets NW, and he'll tell you about the movie theater with velour seats that used to show "nasty movies" for 25 cents. It's gone now, replaced with an Urban Outfitters.
He'll tell you that the cheap drinks have gotten expensive, that the Chinatown arch makes the place feel a lot less like Chinatown the way it used to be. Oh, and the kids. He'll tell you how a few of them used to come down here to chill, but how more and more of them keep showing up, disturbing his quiet corner. They steal phones and wallets, he says, and they fight with each other, mostly on the weekend. He knows the crews: the gay kids and the Muslim kids and the hoodrats and the rich kids from the suburbs. "I've seen them fight against each other. ..... All sorts of fights: gay against Muslim, black against white, black against black."
8:57 p.m.
Aubrey Coachman has spent the last five hours guarding Chipotle's soda fountain. He's got his back to the machine, looking in the reflection of the restaurant's window for kids trying to put lemonade in free water cups. So far, he has only caught three people trying to steal drinks. "I can't believe this is how they want me to spent my time," Coachman said. He's done the math: in five hours, he's saved Chipotle just over a dollar. "This is ridiculous."
Ridiculous, Coachman says, not only because of the inanity of the task, but because in this neighborhood, even on a Tuesday, his time would be better spent doing actual security work. That's what he thought he was getting paid for, especially in the wake of a huge fight in the restaurant in February, when 30 people threw chairs in the air and wreaked havoc on the place.
Not long after that brawl, the restaurant hired Coachman.
He seems to know everyone who comes to Gallery Place — those who do nothing but walk the strip on 7th Street between H and F. He's divided the teenagers into two groups: perennials and annuals. The perennials are here year-round, even in the dead of winter. The annuals only show up in summer.
"That one right there," Coachman says from his Chipotle stool, pointing to a boy who looks about 15, wearing a white cap. "He's a classic perennial, goofing all the time. He never leaves this place."
Coachman spends a lot of time listening. He's gleaned quite a bit about the scene. He claims some of the worst troublemakers belong to a gay gang called "Check It." He says they snatch iPhones and wallets from unsuspecting tourists.
9:39 p.m.
"Muslim brothers is everywhere, why shouldn't I hang out here?" says a man slouching against a wall next to the Gallery Place Metro station. He doesn't want to give his name, but says he comes here almost every day to pray with his friends on the steps of the National Portrait Gallery. Prayer is over, though, and now, like the rest of this growing, stagnant crowd, he's doing very little aside from watching people pass by. And those people are watching him, an incongruity amidst the neon lights, dressed in a long white Thawb, or robe, and red prayer cap. He's one element in the diverse crowd. He watches tall black men dressed in short cocktail dresses strut by. He gets quiet as soon as they appear.
10:20 p.m.
Nationals fans clad in red pour off the Green line at Gallery Place, creating a massive bottleneck at the bottom of an out-0f-service escalator. The crowd headed outbound to Branch Avenue, by comparison, is much smaller. They turn to watch the herd trudging toward the exit.
When the train arrives, a group of six women in baggy shorts and oversized collared polos enter the same car. One starts doing pull-ups on the train's metal bar. Another uses the car as a runway, marching down the aisle, shouting "check me out." Other passengers — Nationals fans, people heading home from a late night at work, couples returning from the Gallery Place movies — smile and laugh. Then the scene gets tense. One of the women, who doesn't want to be identified but appears to be in her 30s, starts mocking a 58-year-old woman named Carol, who is studying a physiology textbook in the middle of the car.
"You look like my teacher, Mrs. Wright," she says. "You can't fail me anymore!" The crowd laughs, a little more reluctantly this time. Then the barrage of insults starts. The woman leans over and puts her nose in Carol's hair. "You smell like cat piss, you stupid bitch," the woman says. Carol looks down at her textbook, trying to ignore the assault as the rest of the crowd looks on.
"It's because of you that I'm gay," the woman says. "It's because of you that my children are mentally retarded." The woman gives her friends high-fives after each insult, and they laugh along with her. A family in Nationals uniforms moves to another side of the car. "Don't hate me because I'm loud and gay," the woman says.
Then five Guardian Angels arrive. They stand on one end of the car, arms crossed, saying nothing. The woman in the baggy shorts looks at the youngest member of the group, who appears to be in his teens. "What are you, 12?" she screams. "What are you gonna do, skateboard?" The Guardian Angels say nothing.
"Ha!" the woman exclaims, a few feet from the Angels, who are clad in white shirts and red berets. "These Angels ain't guarding [expletive]."
Carol closes her textbook. "I thought once the Angels got here, things would calm down," she would say later. "I thought they would step in, or call Metro police or something. But they just stood there."
After a few minutes, the Guardian Angels leave the Metro car, and the woman continues to viciously mock Carol. "I have no idea why she chose me," Carol said later. "It made no sense."
Christina Taylor, on her way home from work near Fort Washington, watched the verbal attack intensify. She's been making the same commute for eight years. "Sometimes this ride can be real rough," Taylor said. "Where's the security when we need it?"
10:50 p.m.
Carol and and the rest of her group get off in Suitland. One of the women tells Carol, "I'm sorry, it's just that we've been drinking." She puts her arm around Carol as they approach the escalator. Rain starts to fall outside of the station. Carol walks toward a cab.
"You know, I wasn't scared by what happened in there," she says. "I was embarrassed that everyone, especially the Caucasians, had to see one black woman insulting another black woman like that. Still, even if that woman didn't mean any harm, what if things had escalated? The Angels were there, but they didn't do anything. Where was the security?"

This so sad to read, but it so true. When I ride pass Gallery Place( which I call Time Square) I see nothing but kids hanging down there waiting to start something. A friend of mine daughter said that she ignores the rift rafts by putting on her IPod, but I told her to stop wearing her IPod before one of the knucklehads snatches it and run. I just rode the Green Line 2 weeks ago to go to a Nationals game and it was the loudest 14 stops I've ever been a part of. When I do ride the Green Line I just give that look like " I wish they would even think of doing something to me". I'm not the Guardian Angels, so if one of these suckers even try it, I'm using one of them as an example on who not to mess with.

Why do people think someone should help. If all the people on that train got up and beat the hell out of that drunk maybe next time she would think twice about it

I, for one, would have thrown the drunk off the train. And have been proud of doing it. Meet fire with fire, folks. Or expect to live in constant fear.

SteveTee and dcofer have the right idea. When Obnoxious Drunkie Woman put her nose in Carol's hair, that was assault. I think Carol would have been perfectly justified in defending herself. Pity that other passengers won't step up and defend a 58-year-old woman who was minding her own business... and what does it say that we have 30-year-olds acting like such ignorant punks?

Reponse: The Guardian Angels did just what they were suppose to do "nothing". No crime was committed and therefore there was nothing to do. There is no crime for talking. The Guardian Angels are ages 16 and up. No one in the group is under 16.
Posted by: GuardianAngels | August 14, 2010 10:17 PM | Report abuse
No crime except harassment.
No crime except assault if the woman spit on her victim.
No crime except disorderly conduct.
That the Guardian angels left that car without taking action demonstrates they are cowards, not saviors.

The fact that people sat there and let an older woman be hassled by ignorant people is really disheartening. I read the full article about the teens and I say shame on the Post for trying to glorify that kind of awful behavior. Those teens (and in Carol's case, 30-year-old drunk women) do not need an article trying to force the readers to think of them as everyday good citizens. People like that are far from it.
I know a lot of people expressed shock at Carol being more concerned about what white people think than about her own safety, but when people tend to stereotype anyone who's black and lump all black people together, I honestly don't blame her.

Acura RDX handling in snow
Posts: 10
maxleavitt Posts: 10I'm in upstate NY (where they just closed part of the ny thruway). I posted on Oct 28 about excellent handling in snow. I don't want to be smart alecky in my answer, but you shouldn't be taking fast turns in snowy conditions. I have since put on snow tires and handling is even better, but snow is snow
mrgoody Posts: 4I think the tires on rdx is decided more for summer rather than winter. Because tires are too wide for snow, Since the car is light and tires wide- the car tends to float in snow rather than sink in snow to give grip. I had a Ford Escape fwd drive which I think handled way better in snow compared to RDX. Regarding the sharp turn, tried in a snow covered parking lot- to see if stabiltiy control would step in but no such luck- the car just spun out. I am glad you have snow tires- I am thinking about the same. What size tires did you get and did you get spare rims?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Leo!
Facts about Leo
- Breed: Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Leo's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Leo was abandoned when his owners moved away. Despite his past, he has proven to be a loving, loyal, well behaved dog.
Leo is fostered with kids, cats, and other dogs, and does great with all of them. He is definitely a good watch dog. He is housebroken and crate trained, but doesn't really need to be crated. He has no food or handling issues at all. He walks perfectly on a leash and would likely do well with offleash training as well.
Leo's ideal family would be one where someone is home often, or where there is another dog that he can hang out with. He loves to be with his people, and loves to be with other dogs as well.
If you're looking for a gentle giant, Leo is the boy for you!
All of our dogs are UTD on all shots including rabies, heartworm tested, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Leo, a Milwaukee Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher for sale in Milwaukee, or seeking a Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher dog from a breeder in Milwaukee.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Milwaukee already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Milwaukee breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher breeders who help with Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Milwaukee paves the way for another one to be saved.

Dave Chappelle Is A DJ On The Side?
From DMX and De La Soul on 'The Chappelle Show' to helping host and run his own Block Party with The Fugees, The Roots, and many more, Dave Chappelle has always been into music. Now Page Six is reporting that he's more than just a fan. Apparently Dave has been doing DJ gigs here and there in the past couple of months.
On Christmas Eve, Chappelle visited the Chrystie Street whiskey bar Leave Rochelle Out Of It and eventually headed downstairs to the bar's club. There he threw back a couple pickle back shots and then hooked his iPhone up to the sound system for an impromptu DJ set to the surprise of everyone there.
In Early December, Dave threw a party at a South Beach club called Wall, and he allegedly paid the staff to work after hours so he could continue to play songs and dance in the DJ booth. Pretty dope. -- Max Weinstein

We recently moved into a townhouse that has a finished basement, a main and second floor. When we open the door to our deck on the main floor, we smell a rancid, gassy like smell in the stairwell to the basement. The smell doesn�t come into the main floor and doesn�t go into the basement area. With the door to the deck closed, we don�t notice the smell. We also don�t notice the smell with a second floor window open and the door to the deck closed.
The basement and stairwell had carpet which we thought was the problem but it was removed about two months ago and the smell remains. At the bottom of the stairwell to the right is a furnace room and under the stairs is a storage area. Neither of these areas has the smell. We�ve had the gas water heater and furnace replaced. Both installation people didn�t know what the smell was. We've had them back a second time to check it out. At the bottom of the stairwell is a full bathroom with a whirlpool tub that we've taken showers in. The bathroom appears to have been added at a later date, the house was built in 1985. Nothing in the bathroom has an odor like the smell. We�ve smelled the drains in the sink and tub, the openings in the whirlpool tub and the gap between the tub and floor. We've done many experiments, closing/opening other doors/windows, putting towels in front of doors, sealing off openings, etc. There is an access hole for the tub in the furnace room which I checked. There was no smell evident when I opened it. I cut a new access hole in a closet on the other side of the tub and didn�t notice any smell. The concrete floor had been cut to install the drain then the hole refilled. I don�t know much about plumbing but there doesn't look like there is a vent pipe directly attached to the drain pipes. We have a dropped ceiling so I checked above the panels all around the basement, nothing unusual. No dead animals. We have a humidifier in the basement that doesn�t collect an excessive amount of water, so I don�t think it�s a moisture issue. Nothing is wet or damp. I haven�t checked to see if the smell is noticeable when any other main floor windows are open. Does anybody have any ideas of what this smell could be and why we only smell it when the door to the deck is open?? Any idea of how to get rid of it?? Thanks for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
When I read your description and the fact that a bathroom was added to the basement, makes me think you are smelling sewer gas. Is there a plumbing trap connected to the tub drain? If not then that could be the source of the smell. Fill the tub with some standing water and then open the deck door. Determine if there if the smell still exists. Repeat this with the bathroom sink. If this is not it, then I am also baffled. |

CITES and Livelihoods Workshop5-7 September 2006
SOUTH AFRICA The CITES & Livelihoods workshop will take place on 5-7 September 2006 at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, Cape Town South Africa. The purpose of the meeting is to identify practical measures that will allow Parties to better address livelihood issues in the course of regulating the international trade in wild species. The workshop was prompted by an amendment, passed in 2004, to CITES Resolution Conf 8.3. This recognizes that the implementation of CITES-listing decisions should take into account potential impacts on the livelihoods of the poor. Over 20 Parties are currently registered for the workshop. The workshop is being organised by a Steering Group made up representatives of Argentina, Germany, Ghana, Namibia, South Africa, Botanic Gardens Conservation International, CRIAA SA-DC (Namibia), Fauna & Flora International, International Institute for Environment and Development, IUCN, TRAFFIC International, UNEP-WCMC and WWF International. For more details, please contact email@example.com. CITES Manual for Botanic Gardens: Second EditionBotanic gardens have a key role in implementing CITES, which aims to protect rare species from trading activities. This revised and updated Manual reflects the evolution of CITES itself since 1994, when this pamphlet was first published. PDF download available now, in English and Spanish.

Half of New York voters believe the state should delay implementation of Common Core.
That's according to a new Siena Research Institute poll.
Fifty percent of people polled support a two-year moratorium on the more-stringent education standards.
That's compared to 38 percent who said they should "continue to be implemented as quickly as possible."
The poll also takes a look at Governor Andrew Cuomo's favorability rating.
It fell to 60 percent from 66 percent last month.

Defend Democracy; Reinstate Edd Bauer, VP Education
Petition to reinstate Edward Bauer in his position as Vice President Education and to delegate the decision making power over his disciplinary to a democratic vote of students.
Following a banner drop at the Liberal Democrat Conference on Friday 16th September, Edward Bauer was arrested, charged with Road Traffic Offences and held in custody for 10 days. Despite not having been convicted for any crime, the Guild of Students decided to suspend him "indefinitely" from his role as Vice President Education "with immediate effect".
We, the undersigned, believe that
1. Edward Bauer should not have been suspended from his job before trial or before disciplinary investigations have proven any offences against the Guild of Student's Code of Conduct. This is unjust not only to him, but also compromises - on unjustifiable grounds - student representation in matters affecting their education. He should therefore be reinstated with immediate effect.
2. It should lie in the powers of students to hold their officers to account. The findings of the disciplinary panel should therefore report to the next Guild Council and the judgment of any findings or displinary deemed necessary should be taken by a democratic vote of students.

Dec 18, 2013 1:55 AM by Lindsay MacLeod, KSBY News
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office needs the public's help finding a fugitive who they say escaped after stealing several cars and driving down the wrong side of Highway 101 to avoid being arrested.
Sheriff's deputies are looking for Juan Miguel Bejar, 29, of Oxnard.
At about 3:25 a.m. Saturday, deputies responded to the 4100 block of Via Real in Carpinteria after a couple called in to say they witnessed their car being stolen in front of their home. They told deputies the suspect saw that they were watching him, and he threatened to use a firearm. No weapon was actually seen.
The victims ran back into their home, and the suspect, who was later identified as Bejar, took off in their car.
Deputies say Bejar crashed at the scene and then jumped into a green van that was waiting for him. Deputies say his brother and wife were inside the green van, and the van had been reported stolen from Oxnard.
According to reports, Bejar then led deputies on a high speed chase, but deputies stopped following the van when Bejar drove onto Highway 101 at Santa Monica Road going southbound in the northbound lanes.
Deputies spotted him shortly after near Upson Road and Santa Monica Road. They say Bejar drove back onto Highway 101 at Padaro Lane, again going the wrong direction. This time, he drove northbound in the southbound lanes.
Sheriff's deputies paralleled him on the right side of the freeway. Deputies say Bejar then made a U-turn at Sheffield Drive and got back on the freeway going southbound in the correct direction.
A deputy used a Pursuit Intervention Technique, or PIT, to disable the van.
Bejar ran away from the car, and deputies weren't able to find him.
His wife, Sandra Lopez, 24, of Oxnard, and his brother, Jose Bejar, 28, of Oxnard, were arrested. They have been charged with attempted burglary, receiving stolen property, conspiracy, and possession of a controlled substance.
Deputies searched the van, and they say they found stolen property and burglary tools. The reported firearm was not found.
The sheriff's office says Bejar has an extensive criminal history. He is considered dangerous, and he may be armed. If you have any information on where he is or if you see him, call 911. You can also leave an anonymous tip at (805) 681-4171.

I recently had a question form a reader:
"I must ask because it is so hard to find cute, modest clothes, but where do you get your clothes?"
I am a huge fan of cute, modest, feminine clothing! Clothes shopping, outfit coordinating, and discovering flattering styles is one of my favorite hobbies. I'm always on the look out for outfit inspiration and I love to try new styles but as you can imagine having a hobby like this could get pretty expensive very quickly.
To appease my style hunger without breaking the bank I found myself falling in love with thrift stores and consignment shops!
I can find top brands that I love for next to nothing. Plus in my experience, for whatever reason, it's MUCH easier to find modest, feminine clothing second hand.
Here are a few treasures I picked up. 5 outfits for under $20!
What do you think? How do you feel about thrift store shopping? Does this post inspire you to give it a try?

Hi again,
I'm looking for yarrow seeds or plants of any color at all. I'm successfully using it as a lawn replacement. Doesn't need water, can be mowed and walked on, grubs seem to ignore it, and it stays green in the winter. If you have any you're not using, are moving around from year to year, or want to dig up? I'm there for you. I might not make it to the swap, but I'm going to try. I'd love to arrange this in advance so I can get them into the ground and growing before drought hits. Thanks in advance!

Hi Christine, I have a bunch I would love to trade. Feel free to email me directly. -Terri |
Welcome back, Christine! I suspect I may be able to get a bunch for you at the FSGC swap the afternoon of the 3rd. Let me know if you don't get enough. Many yarrows get woody if cut back hard -- that may not be so nice underfoot after a few mowings... Lynn |
- Posted by gardnwatch z7MD (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 08 at 22:46
Christine, I've got a nice big one for you in a pot. It's got your name on it. If you want it now I can get it to you . If not, I will bring it to the swap. Your call. Bonnie |
- Posted by cfmuehling 7b DC/MD 'burbs (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 08 at 23:39
Thank you, ladies! I think my best bet is to get them before hand, but Lynn, that would be nice, too. Bonnie, how shall we hook up? :) C. |
I put up two pots of yellow yarrow to add to your collection. What a cool idea--wish I had more to give you. If you don't make it to the swap, I'll send it along with Lynn. Please keep us posted on how it works out over time, pluses and minuses. Oops, what is the FSGC? Is Lynn talking about a different swap on the 3rd? |
- Posted by gardnwatch z7MD (My Page) on Thu, Apr 17, 08 at 10:45
Christine, I am free Saturday or Sunday. I see that Larry will be there around 4-5 Saturday. Would two of us be too many at that time? I'll need your address again. Can't remember how to get there exactly. Bonnie |
FSGC is the DC Gay Men's garden club -- I have been their token female straight member for more than 18 years, and their swap, in Arlington, is the afternoon of ours. So I'll be running from one to the other. We'll have a booth at Green Springs this year, too -- look for us! Lynn |
Thanks Lynn, I'm new to this forum so I'm not really up to speed yet. Christine, unfortunately there is a good possibility that the yarrow I have is not millefolium, but the taller species that is less spreading. If you are still interested, let me know. |
- Posted by gardnwatch z7MD (My Page) on Fri, Apr 18, 08 at 19:53
Christine, I've not heard from you , so maybe we can try again next weekend or if not, I will bring them to the swap with me. Bonnie |
- Posted by cfmuehling 7b DC/MD 'burbs (My Page) on Fri, Apr 18, 08 at 22:28
Rian, that's just fine and I'd love it. Bonnie, I'm going to email you directly. |
christine i have quite a bit of white, you interested? i could probably be persuaded to take a day trip to your area :) k |
Christine, I have some too, courtesy of our MAG friends and their generosity last year... pink, red, white, and yellow, but you may want to wait until something comes up so we know what it actually is... Lynne in Bowie |
I've got plenty of yarrow. It has white flowers. |
- Posted by cfmuehling 7b DC/MD 'burbs (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 08 at 9:00
Thanks, all! I'll take any and all because the colors don't matter. It'll be mowed at about 6". It doesn't get a chance to get woody because it doesn't bloom. The more this spring passes, the more happy I am with the gudzillion, tiny seeds I spattered last year. Let's plan on the swap? I think that might be wisest after that last paragraph. Thank you, all. Christine |
