"Really great! Tons of flavor, and leftovers were terrific. These are more burritos than chimichangas though. I also froze a few for future emergency lunches. If freezing, thaw in fridge overnight before microwaving. I did use full-fat cheese because I don't like the texture of low-fat."
"DELICIOUS! Costco had some really fresh looking baby bok choy, and this was the perfect recipe for that. I used arrowroot flour from Penzey's instead of cornstarch, and that gave the tofu a nice sticky-lightly crisp skin with a soft, plump inside that was very much like how I've had tofu at good Asian restaurants. It is not suppose to get super cr..."
"LOVED this! What a fun & simple sandwich. The cheese does get crispy and since it is salty it does taste like bacon (sort of)! At first the cheese just seems to melt and be an ooey gooey mess, but give it time and watch it carefully. Once it is hard on the bottom it is time to flip before it burns. I really liked this as a change of pace from regu..."

Unlike all previous versions of rock 'n' roll history, this book omits almost every iconic performer and ignores the storied events and turning points everyone knows. Instead, in a daring stroke, Greil Marcus selects 10 songs recorded between 1956 and 2008 and then proceeds to dramatize how each embodies rock 'n' roll as a thing in itself in the story it tells, inhabits, and acts out - a new language, something new under the sun.

Churchill's schooldays are undistinguished, but he is admitted to Sandhurst and embarks on a career as a soldier and a war correspondent, seeing action in Cuba, in India, in the Sudan - where he took part in the battle of Omdurman, of which he gives us a stirring account - and finally in South Africa.
Newcago is free. They told David it was impossible, that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet Steelheart - invincible, immortal, unconquerable - is dead. And he died by David's hand.Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers.Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though.
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.
In a ruined and toxic landscape, a community exists in a giant silo underground, hundreds of stories deep. There, men and women live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them. Sheriff Holston, who has unwaveringly upheld the silo's rules for years, unexpectedly breaks the greatest taboo of all: He asks to go outside.
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.
Hailed by The New York Times as "a marvel of storytelling", The Things They Carried's portrayal of the boots-on-the-ground experience of soldiers in the Vietnam War is a landmark in war writing. Now, three-time Emmy Award winner-Bryan Cranston, star of the hit TV series Breaking Bad, delivers an electrifying performance that walks the book's hallucinatory line between reality and fiction and highlights the emotional power of the spoken word.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....
Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio.

Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate.

It begins as a statistical oddity: a spike in children born with acute speech delays. Physically normal in every way, these children never speak and do not respond to speech; they don't learn to read, don't learn to write. As the number of cases grows to an epidemic level, theories spread. Maybe it's related to a popular antidepressant; maybe it's environmental. Or maybe these children have special skills all their own.

One month into our stay, we'd managed to dispatch most of our charges. We executed the chickens. One of the cats disappeared, clearly disgusted with our urban ways.

Brooks and Dunn, Reba McEntire Announce Las Vegas Residency
Next summer, Brooks and Dunn will reunite with one of their most famous collaborators.
Next summer, Brooks and Dunn will reunite with one of their most famous collaborators.
Some of country's older generation of stars have been vocal about their dislike of the genre's new direction, but Kix Brooks is not one of them.
'Duck Dynasty's' Uncle Si Robertson has a new talent he's showing off, and it has nothing to do with duck calls or hunting. The 66-year-old released a six-song EP, 'Me and My Smoking Hot Honey' on iTunes Wednesday (May 14), and it features a duet with none other than country singer Kix Brooks.
Kix Brooks made his acting debut earlier this year, and now fans have a chance to bring him home. Enter here to win one of 10 signed copies of both the DVD and CD soundtrack to 'Ambush at Dark Canyon.'
Kix Brooks spent Wednesday night (Jan. 29) doing something he's been waiting a long time to do. He made his acting debut with the premiere of 'Ambush at Dark Canyon' at the Country Music Hall of Fame's theater in Nashville.
How much Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn got along during the later years of their partnership has always been an interesting and hotly debated, but mostly behind-the-scenes, conversation.
Jake Owen got a digital "talking to" from Barbara Brooks, the wife of country legend Kix Brooks, after he tweeted a picture of himself wearing a bit of a sarcastically sexist T-shirt that read: "Cool Story Babe. Now Go Make Me a Sandwich."
In the video for his new song Kix Brooks proves he still loves his wife just as much as he did they day he married her 31 years ago. It's heartwarming to see the love and commitment they share after all these years, I can't imagine it's been easy with Kix being the super-star he is, but clearly they have figured out how to make it work. Check out his new tune 'Bring it on Home' and let us know what you think of it.
Nashville Kat says Taylor's on the list of celebrities most likely to give your computer a virus, Kat's also got news on Little Big Town's CMT Unplugged episode and the Christmas album from Lady Antebellum.
Tim McGraw uses a forklift, two huge ropes, and tractor tires in his workout, Taylor Swift loves kittens and we discuss the merits of tuna fish with Nashville Kat...I think. I kind of got of distracted after talking about Tim's incredible physique.
Moondance Jammin' Country Fest has announced their full lineup for the Summer 2012 show. We get several familiar names and at least one new face to country music.
Kix Brooks will release his first solo single since the split of Brooks and Dunn in 2010. The country great has teamed up with Eagles' guitarist Joe Walsh to record 'New to This Town,' a song that will be released to radio on March 19.

Zimmerman Acquitted
I'm probably opening Pandora's box here, but I'm interested in your take on this explanation of what killed Trayvon:
A bullet in the heart killed Travon Martin. How many other suspended students from that community died of a bullet to the heart?
Your responses are usually much more... verbose.
Anyhow, you are correct - Martin was killed by a bullet. HOWEVER, you always seem eager to search the deep recesses of history and attribute current happenings to things long past (e.g. slavery, jim crow). Given this proclivity, I wondered if you see anything in Martin's past that may have led him to where he is today. And I'm still wondering, because you chose not to address that issue.
To your point - I have no idea how many other suspended students have died from gunshot wounds. But a related question would be - how many other suspended students chose to attack an armed man?
I refer to my experience. I was not alive during slavery, but experienced Jim Crow in Georgia. I am enjoying the progress in race relations that I have experienced in the past ten years. I'm not interested in speculating about something that you obviously know little about.
Certainly danz57 is a pseudonym used by The Citizen to race bait all you folks.
danz57 is indeed a US citizen but I have absolutely no connection to the rabidly right wing paper of that name.
Shown on the TV protests are people walking around with signs that say "I am Trayvon Martin." I don't get it, I thought he passed away.
Any American with dark skin wearing a hoodie could be considered a criminal, dangerous, and killed - that is what the signs are suggesting. There is a picture circulating with a white family wearing hoodies in support of Travon Martin and the danger of this perception. I think the name of Travon Martin will live in history like the name of Emmet Till. In many cities, the protest crowds are integrated. This is truly an American concern.
The Emmett Till case is an apt comparison.
Imagine a 29 year old 200 lb black man armed with a gun who challenged a 17 year old white boy after first making a derogatory comment about the young man thus showing the attitude he brought to the encounter. The older man pulls his gun and shoots the boy dead. He claims he challenged the boy and the boy attacked and he drew his gun and shot in self-defense.
Does anyone believe that same jury would have returned that same verdict?
No, those good suburban ladies of the jury would have convicted him in a heartbeat and the same people that are defending Zimmerman on this list would be saying that justice was served.
When many people think of the term "racism" they think of Aryan nations/KKK style in-your-face hatred. While that still exists, the far more pervasive and far more dangerous and damaging form of racism is simply a deeply held skepticism toward a different race that believes them to be generally less capable, less honest, and of less integrity than ones own race.
This is the sort of racism that causes casual day-to-day discrimination, causes white jurors to give extreme benefit of doubt to Zimmerman, and perpetuates an unjust and unequal society. This type of racism usually flies under the radar and is often denied by those who practice it. Sadly, many infected with this form of racism even sincerely believe themselves to be nonracist.
Except every once in a while a tragic event like the story of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman occurs which throws off the cover and reveals it in all its ugliness.
Granted, a tragic case but I believe TM was physically superior to GZ. BTW, are you sure DM doesn't write your script? And I guess you'll say it was ok for TM to call GZ a "scruffy-ass cracker" in a phone call, huh?
The point is that Zimmerman had the gun, provoked a confrontation and all indications are he had a negative attitude in approaching Trayvon.
Of course I was not there,but the most likely scenario I envision is Zimmerman confronted Trayvon abruptly, saying "Hold it, where are you from, what are you doing here?" or something along those lines. Which he had no right to do since he is not a law enforcement officer. Trayvon responded by telling him to shove off or words to that effect. Zimmerman then touched, grabbed, or otherwise tried to physical block Trayvon who shoved or hit him.
Zimmerman then went for his gun. In that split second Trayvon saw him drawing a gun, thought his life in clear danger and tackled Zimmerman with Zimmermans head hitting the pavement. Trayvon, now believing he is fighting for his life is on top of Zimmerman who manages to free his gun and fatally shoots Trayvon.
At 17, Trayvon might not haves responded in the wisest way, but he sure as hell didn't deserve to die for it.
No evidence presented by the prosecution supports your version of the"scenario". And just what do you know about the duties, responsibilities, and authorities of a Community Watch Commander?
And just what do you know about the duties, responsibilities, and authorities of a Community Watch Commander?
The duties are on the web (Neighborhood Watch Coordinator)
During the trial it was clearly stated: observe, report to police.
Zimmerman was not a member of a law enforcement volunteer organization. (Sponsored by law enforcement agency and provides training).
We know Z did call out to him; I didn't read that he verbally responded, maybe he did. His only words I know of were from Z's statement, something to the effect that 'you're gonna die tonight', etc... I didn't read Z touched, grabbed, or tried to physically block TM. The only time recorded that Z 'went for' his gun was when TM was pounding his head into the sidewalk. Yes, a lot of assumptions, for sure; glad we have forensic science now to prove the most probable acts and not the practice of 'guessing', as you just did.
Sadly, TM did not survive the incident to present his side of the story, so we're left with piecing together the event through witness statements, and Z's side, of course.
Btw, check out Suggarfoot's link about TM's Facebook statements & possible drug activity. Circumstantial, of course, and not admissible to this case, but I learned a bit about current OTC drug activity by teens & some new slang.
Nice story. I guess we should accept your fiction over testimony and forensics huh?
Boy, I sure hope you never make it through voir dire and onto a jury. Your scenario is an impressive bit of fiction constructed from "whole cloth," as they say. Exactly which facts or evidence support your assumptions?
But, since you like to speculate instead of focusing on the facts that were presented at trial, consider this:
Trayvon's school suspension demonstrates that he was likely involved in burglary - an officer found stolen jewelry and burglary tools in his possession.
Trayvon's text messages and cell phone videos demonstrate that he liked to fight - Trayvon bragged of beating someone who "snitched" on him, and Trayvon wanted to fight him again because the other guy "didn't bleed enough."
When Zimmerman was on the phone with 911, Trayvon was 30 seconds from his (Trayvon's) front door. However, he was shot some four minutes later.
Of course, Zimmerman knew none of this at the time of the shooting; that's why the facts about Trayvon were not presented to the jury. However, it does offer food for thought to us third party observers. I think it supports the idea that Trayvon may have been acting suspiciously (a guy who's likely been a thief is creeping around an area with recent burglaries), and about who most likely initiated the violent encounter (probably the guy who likes to fight and make people bleed, and who likes to take cell phone videos and laugh about homeless people fighting).
At any rate, speculation is irrelevant; the jurors heard the evidence and ultimately determined that the state failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. I believe they got it right, and I don't believe it had anything to do with race.
Zimmerman earlier got fired from his job as a security guard for overly aggressive behavior after he "snapped" and went "nuts" according to coworkers. "He had a temper and he became a liability," former coworker said. "One time this woman was acting a little out of control. She was drunk. George lost his cool and totally overreacted," he said. "It was weird, because he was such a cool guy, but he got all nuts. He picked her up and threw her. It was pure rage. She twisted her ankle. Everyone was flipping out."
The year 2005 was a bad one for Zimmerman: he was arrested for fighting with a cop trying to arrest his friend for underage drinking, and he and his ex-fiancée took out protective orders against each other.
His felony indictments were downgraded or dismissed, in Florida it helps if your father is a retired judge. But Zimmerman had to take court-ordered anger management classes in 2005.
I hope that sometime as you're walking in your neighborhood some neighbor who doesn't know you decides that you're "creeping around" and look suspicious and decides to stop you and question your right to be there. Let's see how you react to that. I'm betting not too well.
...was on his way back w/ Watermelon tea & Skittles to mix w/ Robotussin and make a psuedo-drug that mimics PCP, possibly to sell. His Facebook held discussions of such and alluded to making & selling drugs, including trying to illegally obtain Codeine.
Unfortunately, like your story above, it means nothing to the events of that night or to the trial. If you dragged the past history of any defendant or plaintiff to be considered in any trial you'd triple it's length and belabor the jury with information that has nothing to do with the issue at hand, with the sole purpose of trying to 'paint' someone in a certain light instead of sticking to the facts at hand.
...'hate speech' only applies to minorities (I guess GZ didn't look Hispanic enough!). My neighbor, who works at the airport (for whom I will not say), got into it w/ another employee who called him a 'white trash POS'. My neighbor filed a complaint for the derogatory comment/language, which is against company policy, but nothing happened. Imagine if he were to have called this workmate the 'N' word; my neighbor would probably been suspended for a week, at minimum. This double standard should not be tolerated, period. Heck, I've even adapted to stop using the term 'faggot', and refer to those deviants now as strictly 'homosexuals'.
This is very interesting. The trial has been held. The verdict is in. Under the law, Mr. Zimmerman has been acquitted. Mr, Zimmerman's attorney has stated that 'race' needs to be discussed in this country. Race is the 'elephant in the room' in this trial - but did not enter into the plea of self- defense. If Travon had lived, he also could have pleaded self-defense in the mutual combat confrontation. Mr. Zimmerman is responsible for a death. Travon was not in the act of committing a crime. A tragedy that should never happen again under the law. The law and race perceptions needs to be discussed by good, secure people in 2013 - without recrimination or placing blame - just looking at what is and what we hope to be.
Travon was not in the act of committing a crime.
Right. Other than attempting to murder Zimmerman by bashing in his skull, Trayvon was innocent. The attack on Zimmerman by this 'gansta' (trayvons words) wannabe was unprovoked. Maybe he was all hopped up on 'purple drank' and was preparing to make another batch. He also showed racist tendencies - remember, he called Zimmerman a 'creepy-ass cracker'. That is a racist, derogatory term that blacks use to denigrate people that don't look like them. This 'gansta' was far from innocent.
Those that want to limit innocent people from standing their ground and defend themselves are the enablers of hate, division, and racism.
does. Will he too rush to try Zimmerman without enough evidence in order to satisfy the NAACP and others or will he inform them what they don't want to hear. We'll get to see how "politics" plays into this.
BTW, I wonder if Mr. Holder will follow Janet Napolitano and make a hasty exit soon.
Those that want to limit innocent people from standing their ground and defend themselves are the enablers of hate, division, and racism.
Thank heavens MLK and Ghandi taught us differently. By non-violently standing our ground, and reacting with love instead of hate - bloodshed was limited in taking steps in changing discriminatory practices. Unfortunately, Travon and Mr. Zimmerman reacted to the fear based on racism. Let's hope this does not become the American way.
I stand corrected: Travon was not in the act of committing a crime until he was confronted by Mr, Zimmerman and engaged in mutual combat. According to the testimony - Travon did not know that Mr. Zimmerman was a Neighborhood Watch Coordinator - but died in fear of a 'crazy-ass cracker'. Mr. Zimmerman thought that he was in the act of preventing another crime committed by a 'black man in a hoodie'. To those who feel that 'race' is not part of the fear in this tragedy - you're living in la-la land. IMO.
Sorry, I don't live in Los Angeles area any more. It's about race? Well gee that's not according to the interviewed juror, Prosecuting Attorney, Zimmerman's defense, and the Martin's attorney. If they say it's not about race how do you come to your conclusion?
the best anonymous comment (AJC, I think) that I have seen in any write up of the coverage of the Zimmerman trial is the following: "Only in America can a brown man kill a black man and yet the blame falls on white people"
Even valley thinking can comprehend the fear that motivated this tragedy. What was the 'fear' based on? (According to the words of the two involved - "black with a hoodie" and 'crazy-ass cracker".) Now even one who left Los Angeles recognizes those words indicate 'race' in the thought of the speaker. Right? On The View, the Zimmerman attorney recognized this - but of course - it would have been inappropriate to argue that in the face of a self-defense case between mutual combatants. To ignore the basis for the 'fear' is a product of la-la land inhabitants. . . . IMO. And to ignore 'race' and act as if it doesn't exist as a problem in this country will be unfair to the younger generation - who have moved on - and see through this craziness in a racist society trying to justify its error. (Both black and white society) In order for this to ever be corrected - the underlying basis for the racist 'fear' in this country has to be dealt with.
Let's take race out of it....by de-humanizing Martin and humanizing Zimmerman, it's easy to accept the verdict. Everyone wants to make Martin the bad guy when he isn't even here to tell his side of the story. Whichever side of this people are on - everyone should remember that a 17 year old lost his life for walking down a street after stopping for candy and something to drink. He will never fall in love, he will never go to college, he will never have a life partner, he will never have a career, he will never have children or grandchildren. He had only 17 years on this earth and it was snuffed away by a self imposed "watchman" who should have kept himself in his car like he was told. Instead, he took matters in his own hands. Because Martin cannot speak for himself, we know only part of the story. All I see from this is absolute tragedy. Zimmerman now gets to life his life living in fear, people will avoid him, cross to the other side of the street, flip their locks on their doors and live in fear of him that he will go off the deep end again. I hope that is a bit of torment for him - it is deserved.
So many are agreeing with you, No need for 'campa' in this tragedy. There are no winners.
race had nothing to do with it. In her interview with Piers Morgan, she said that she warned TM that because GZ was an adult and following him, that GZ was probably a homosexual rapist and that he should run away. It had nothing to do with GZ being light skinned or TM being black skinned. According to her that never entered into it. She also said that the use of the term "cracker" does not mean white people, but anybody of any color who might be LEO or security/comm watch.
She went on to say that she believed that TM, who was just seconds away from his fathers house, doubled back to confront GZ, (who according to the 911 call tapes had lost TM at that point) because he didn't want to lead the pervert to his house where his younger brother lived.
I'm curious how the left will react when even though no one involved in the case (victim, witnesses, prosecution, judge, jury, defense) says race was a factor, the media has tried to make it about race anyway. Only now do we see that the real story was that TM was a homophobic gay-basher.
People want to charge GZ with hate-crime, even though there is no evidence for that. If GZ had not had a gun and TM had beat him senseless, would those same people want to charge TM with a hate-crime, since according to Jeanteal, the only reason TM confronted GZ was because he suspected him of being gay and therefore a child rapist? Somehow I doubt it.
go to the 6 minute mark
DM - according to Rachel Jeanteal on CNN last night
race had nothing to do with it. - that GZ was probably a homosexual rapist and that he should run away.
Only now do we see that the real story was that TM was a homophobic gay-basher.
Wow! I listened to the entire video. Do you remember the meaning of 'crackaa' that she shared? (Person of authority/security, etc.) Do you remember her answer to if she thought the situation was 'racial'? Please - others please listen to her interview. I'm sure we all hear based on our own perspective. She made a point of the jury being 'old' school - and her generation 'new' school. I don't pretend to understand the 'sentences' found in many of the renderings of the 'new school' vocabulary. Do you?
This is why it is important for persons to have a face to face discussion about perceptions and understandings of words; culture; etc., We study foreign cultures and languages - but in many cases, we don't understand one another.
You keep using this phrase, but one guy jumping out of the bushes and pummeling another guy is not "mutual combat." The only injuries suffered by Martin - aside from the fatal bullet wound - were bruises to his knuckles from punching Zimmerman in the face. It appears that the only action offered by Zimmerman was firing the round that stopped the beating he was receiving at Trayvon's hands.
So it can only be "mutual combat" if Zimmerman's account is a lie. Just to be clear, that is your position - right? Can you support it with the evidence?
Also, you keep implying that Zimmerman was in fear because Martin was black. I believe he made no effort to attach a racial identifier to Martin until asked to do so by the 911 dispatcher, correct? And even then, it sounds to me like he wasn't sure - "he LOOKS black." I think your analysis may be flawed.
You keep using this phrase, but one guy jumping out of the bushes and pummeling another guy is not "mutual combat.
Did you watch the trial? Where were these bushes at the point of contact that Zimmerman pointed out to the detectives? (There was a video played of his interview with the detectives - and the prosecution made quite a point of no bushes near the dog path.) What bruises? There was no blood on Martin's hands. You evidently did not listen to the testimony given at the trial. It was not my analysis. There was mutual combat. Zimmerman won - he had a gun. Zimmerman did not lie - he fought with Travon. That is mutual combat. Zimmerman had made numerous calls to 911 identifying the suspects in his neighborhood as 'black'. The word coon was most distinct in Zimmerman's call. Coon is a derogatory word used by ignorant persons for 'blacks'. The historical word - crackaa/cracker - has been used in the black community since slavery. The term described the 'man' who used the crack of the whip to keep 'slaves' in line, (Authority figure) Both sides presented their analysis to the jury. The jury made a decision. What is the point of being on 'sides' today? We should be on the side of 'law' that will prevent this situation from happening again.
Also, you keep implying that Zimmerman was in fear because Martin was black.
Zimmerman evidently wasn't that fearful of a 'black' man - or because of his fear, he would have stayed in the car until the police arrived . . .IMO. Please share what words I used for you to arrive at the above implication. At the point of confrontation, it is safe to assume that both men were fearful. If the jury thought that Zimmerman was not fearful for his life - he should have been convicted of at least manslaughter under the law,
What bruises? Good catch - I should have said abrasion. See page 3 of Martin's autopsy, and the accompanying sketch of the body:
But perhaps Martin didn't receive this injury from beating Zimmerman. He could have gotten it from beating the guy who "snitched" on him (per the text messages on his phone). Either way, it does not appear that Zimmerman initiated physical contact with Martin prior to the gunshot wound that stopped the assault... which makes your claim of "mutual combat" dubious.
As to proof of your use of the "fear" angle, please re-read your post at 4:00PM. It looks pretty straight forward:
Even valley thinking can comprehend the fear that motivated this tragedy. What was the 'fear' based on? (According to the words of the two involved - "black with a hoodie" and 'crazy-ass cracker".)
Trayvon obviously thought he was attacking a white person, as he was probably brought up to hate white people.
Trayvon was the only one in the altercation that had racist tendencies based on his own statements. Trayvon made the decision to attack a person carrying a gun and paid the consequences for his actions and his hate.
Danz57, I will agree with you on this point - there have been so many black men wrongly convicted of crimes that justice cannot possibly be served without Zimmerman being convicted of at least manslaughter.
Boy, you have fallen completely off the logic train!--Unless this is a huge dose of sarcasm!
This is no place or time for logic. :-) Sarcasm aside, any honest person that followed the trial close enough and was not preconditioned for an outcome would have to admit that an acquittal stemming from a reasonable doubt is an understandable outcome. But many (most?) people are either preconditioned or not honest, many are angry at their lot in life, and this outcome provides them with an opportunity to express their frustration.
From all indications I've seen the trial was conducted fairly. I am more concerned about the misfitting racial based reaction to it, which I think is damaging to the cause of racial equality.
...you can blame the idiot DA who bowed to protest pressure to try him for the laughable charge of 2d degree murder. If she would have aimed for voluntary/invol manslaughter, Zimmerman might have been made to pay for his indiscretion of following Martin. Stupid legal move, IMHO, and a predictable end; there was absolutely NO proof of any initial intent of Z to purposely harm Martin, which is REQUIRED - at a minimum - to prove 2d degree.
Were you on your soap box then, or were you out in the crowd laughing ahd high-fiving because someone who the majority of the nation felt was guilty was set free by a jury? Just wondering? Were you out there protesting when a young white man was killed leaving a Braves game after committing only the sin of being white? Did you take to the streets when a black thug killed an upstanding, young black man who just happened to be the next male he saw as he threatened to do after a black female had slapped him and in his words--he did not hit women but he would attack next male he saw. Unfortunately this young man, his mother's only son happened to be that innocent bystander? Or is it only when it is reversed that you consider it racist or terrible? Does racism only go in one direction, or doesn't it count when many other fine young black men are killed by thugs and gang members? Double standard?
Why do you have to go back to the Emmett Till case (which was a tragedy and a travesty) when there are so many current attacks---is it because this is sure to incite racism and that seems your aim.
I must say that I have no idea of what the "right" verdict should have been in this case. I wasn't sitting in the courtroom, nor was I an observer of the incident. However, whether the jury got it right or wrong, based on what they heard, they did what they felt was right in finding not guilty. At this point, there is nothing anyone can do to change that verdict. But, I do wonder how rioting in California is going to help this situation. People have been saying that Zimmerman racially profiled Martin, and he may have done so. People are also saying that they don't understand how that profiling can continue in today's society. May I suggest that it might be because of the example society is presented with. Look at the rioting taking place, do you honestly think that this is giving people a "good image" and instilling "good faith" about a segment of society? I suggest that calm protests would produce more effrective and positive outcomes than rioting. I'm thankful that Fayette County seems to have better race relations. Yes, there are still problems, but they are being addressed in a more positive way. Thank you citizens of Fayette County for being more level-headed than some other communities out there.
Many are not looking at the rioting, but at the many peaceful protests happening throughout our country - and in Georgia. Most of these protests are integrated / and the one in New York appeared almost 'white'. Again, because of the rioting in California (Oakland?), one classifies a whole race? It's like having a confrontation with one white person and labeling that person 'trash'. We use racial slurs to denigrate. Some use negative situations to judge an entire race. Most communities in our country are like Fayetteville in progressing in race relations.
You would find the negative aspect that was not intended. Based on most of your comments on these threads, you just can't help yourself I guess. My comments were intended to be positive. I'm sorry you felt that I was classifying a whole race based on your interpretation of my previous comments. But, I guess that's just how you see things.
Your observation is one reason why sincere people should converse face to face rather than by 'words' only. If we had been in a face to face discussion - we probably would perceive from voice tone, facial expression, etc., if a negative or positive statement was intended. It is important for Americans to 'see' how their words are being interpreted. I sincerely believe that the majority of Americans are not racist - but because in many instances we have been separated/afraid to discuss race with one another - we are having great difficulty dealing with this 'elephant in the room'. One reason some citizens in this county who happen to be African American and live in this county have stopped participating in this discussion is the broad brush that is used to describe African American citizens. Some participants have realized this - and have stopped making such broad generalizations - and the conversation has become far more civil. I can say exactly the same for myself and African American contributors who have made broad brush statements regarding 'white' citizens.
Thank you citizens of Fayette County for being more level-headed than some other communities out there.
I felt your statement regarding Fayette County was welcomed and honest.
I appreciate your honest comments regarding "broad brush statements" and the "generalizations" that come with them. I work in a very diverse environment where everyone truly seems to get along. Thankfully, this hasn't been a problem for anyone, and that is one of the reasons I was able to make my statement regarding the citizens in this county. I'm blessed to work in that type of environment and appreciate it even more when situations such as these arise. However, I still cannot fathom why rioting has to occur in order to make a statement. And, I KNOW that these riots are taking place with diverse participants, not only African Americans and ALL of them are wrong for the actions they have chosen as their form of protest. This is not a comment to demean or "profile" any specific group other than those acting out in such a destructive way, no matter their race, nationality, creed, etc. I sincerely hope that you understand my perspective.
Was not Justice served... Was a trial conducted and a verdict rendered?
So are they seeking Justice or are they seeking vengeance?
To correct perceptions/actions based on an article of clothing and the color of skin of a human that precipitates fear. (And some times the loss of life) This sentiment is not just being expressed in the 'black' communities in our country. It has even been expressed in this discussion. Many feel that this situation should not have happened and want steps to be taken to prevent it from happening again.

How do you stop two hot heads from going at it? The courts reviewed the evidence and decided that Zimmerman was "Not Guilty". And while I fully agree that not guilty does not equal innocent it does confer that TM did at least as much to cause his own death as Zimmerman. Sad yes. Worthy of protests no.
We can postulate lots of those but let me try one:
What if, seeing as TM knew he was a stranger in that community, he had
aapproached GZ and said," Hey, I'm TM and currently visiting ---in Apartment/house---, so you'll be seeing me out and about for some time." Immediately defuses any problem that GZ could envision. Then sometimes you're just gonna have two personalities that clash-period.

Excellent point. Just remember as someone else out here stated. Only in America can a brown man kill a black man and it be blamed on the white man.
Might have been a different scenario if Mr. Zimmerman had introduced himself as the Neighborhood Watch Coordinator - or better yet, waited for the police to arrive. There are two sides to this story - we have only Mr. Zimmermans side, forensics, and the young lady on the phone. Other than that - it's speculation. Ladies and gentleman - the trial has been held, the verdict is in. The jurors did their job. The citizens of this country want some action (legal) to never put two people in this situation again. Only in America is a citizen identified as black, brown, or white. There were only two men involved in this tragedy. One is both brown and white. Only in America.
In an earlier post you referenced Jeantel's definition of a Crackaa:
Wow! I listened to the entire video. Do you remember the meaning of 'crackaa' that she shared? (Person of authority/security, etc.)
Now you want to claim that TM did not know that GZ was a security person that he was attacking? Which is it? A racist comment or TM knew who he was dealing with? Straight answer. No long comments meant to misdirect please.
...tonight on Channel 2 news a sister in ATL interviewed said a car drove by and shot down her brother, who was not a gang member and had no idea why he was murdered. He was just hanging out on their lawn and was shot.
You won't hear about it ever again, it won't make the national news. The crap happens EVERY day; the Zimmerman/Martin affair is/means NOTHING comparatively, except for being exploited by major news networks for ratings and those others seeking to enrich themselves on the somewhat unique circumstances of the situation. It was sad, it was adjudicated, it is over. Losers, inc. the networks, and small-minded people with ulterior motives are the only reason we still hearing about this.
I agree with you!! I worked for seven years in a community that was well known for gang activity for over two/three generations. The last year of my service in that community, I attended at least two or three funerals a month for families that lost a relative due to gang activity. NOTHING IN THE PAPERS!! Fortunately, gang activity in Los Angeles has decreased - but Chicago is horrendous. If the little girl who was shot in Chicago had not just participated in the inauguration parade, we wouldn't have heard about that tragedy. Looking at the glass half full - this discussion has pointed out that good people can sincerely have different opinions about a subject - and that the 'race' problem in the United States has improved greatly - but there is still the 'elephant in the room' that crops up and should be dealt with.
...as it is media & opportunistic exploitation that makes these sad events such 'national' issues. Certainly race, or more so cultural, relations will always be a concern in such a melting pot that is America, but issues such of this must ALWAYS be contained within the circumstances that they are, and not exacerbated to be an example of the 'whole' issue.
If you look at other countries such as France or Germany, who have recently (i.e. the last 3 decades) allowed for increased immigration, their problems concerning such have increased exponentially. Clashes of culture certainly tend to lend to the problems arising.
...are a result of race baiters seeking not justice and not equality but unequal opportunity in America.
They want SOCIAL Justice not equal justice... Many others are simply ignorant pawns of these hucksters.
verdict was reached. Both the prosecution and the defense had the opportunity to 'strike' prospective jurors. Both the prosecution and defense had the right to present their case, and both did. Both sides were heard, the jury made a decision and that decision was "not guilty." That is our nation's justice system. Why is "justice was not served" when the verdict people want is not received? Remember the O. J. trial? Many, many people were not happy with that verdict but remained lawful, they did not take to the steets with destruction as their goal.. No one used that opportunity to destroy property that others had worked to obtain. Just what gives someone the right to demolish what they had not worked for? To me, it seems like a bunch of thugs just waiting for an excuse to destroy and plunder. None of those injured or who's properties were destroyed had anything in and way shape or form to do with the Zimmerman verdict. And let the bleeding hearts just skip the part where they come in and say they do it because they are downtrodden, etc, etc, etc. They are thugs plain and simple. Why didn't all these people take to the street when a 2 year old was shot in the face for no reason other than the mother had no money to give to the animals who tried to rob her. In that case it truly was a 'baby' but there is no uproar----and that is just one instance. It is sad when anyone loses their live regardles of the situation.

BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested that neuropsychological and structural brain deficits are implicated in poor insight. Few insight studies however have combined neurocognitive and structural neuroanatomical measures. AIMS: Focusing on the ability to relabel psychotic symptoms as pathological, we examined insight, brain structure and neurocognition in first-onset psychosis. METHOD: Voxel-based magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired from 82 individuals with psychosis and 91 controls assessed with a brief neuropsychological test battery. Insight was measured using the Schedule for the Assessment of Insight. RESULTS: The principal analysis showed reduced general neuropsychological function was linked to poor symptom relabelling ability. A subsequent between-psychosis group analysis found those with no symptom relabelling ability had significant global and regional grey matter deficits primarily located at the posterior cingulate gyrus and right precuneus/cuneus. CONCLUSIONS: The cingulate gyrus (as part of a midline cortical system) along with right hemisphere regions may be involved in illness and symptom self-appraisal in first-onset psychosis.

Bill Brown never imagined a future in which he made chocolates for a living?let alone chocolates that appear in movies. But in 2008, he left his corporate job to open William Dean Chocolates, which he named in honor of his father and grandfather. Often airbrushed with bright jewel tones, his chocolates got their big break when they made a guest appearance in two of the Hunger Games movies, but they're just as delicious off-screen. The only possible downside is that they're almost too gorgeous to eat. Almost, but not quite.
To find a sweet, chilly treat throughout Florida, all you have to do is keep an eye out for a giant ice-cream cone. Topper's Creamery's many locations quite literally represent what's inside of them: heaps of ice cream.

Their selection of cool treats doesn't end with cones, however, as the menu includes classic shakes, sundaes, and banana splits. The staff also whips up brownie boats, which, unlike gingerbread houses, allow owners to eat their belongings without having to file an insurance claim.

Timing fucking matters.Time does a lot of things, it makes you older, it gets you to places, it never stops going forward. However you control when and how you use it!Everyone makes choices on a daily bases, most of them are actually done with your auto-pilot function out of habit.Most people usually sit in the same spot on the couch, chooses what to wear based on previously made combinations and so on, unless they consciously become aware of their action and might decide it's time for a change. It can be a small thing that makes people aware of their optionsYou can count that pretty much every person out there works like this and YOU often depend on THEIR choices.My point of this journal is saying: Use this in your advantage!Time can be compared to a diet. Eating to much bad stuff will make you unhealthy and feel bad, while eating healthy things will keep you going and feel good. So time can either make you feel stuck in one place, maybe even going backwards (ageing already does that for you) or
Draw With Us #3 - Human AnatomyHello again, guys Welcome to this months installment. I've had a few requests for this topic, so month 3 of this segment is going to be dealing with Human AnatomyBefore I start breaking this tutorial up into body parts, I'm going to start off with a 7 part series by :iconfoervraengd: called 'Understanding Anatomy' that covers most of the basics. If you're new to anatomy like I am I recommend checking it out, it's an excellent series!Part 1: IntroductionPart 2: Drawing the BasePart 3: Torso
Products- things you should considerSince I am recently mulling over my postcard set and fight with Iso and calibration and "uh, I have 3 mm cutting border plus 3 mm safe frame, now how much is 59-6 O_o" (it feels like being in 4th class again!) and get a lot of questions about the final thing.... and how doing products is done.Some thoughts:Before you decide you want to have product XY for a con or general sale, you have to check what you can actually do.Auntie Google is ALWAYS your best friend for it. It's doesn't do any good if you ask me where I get my (locally made) products if you need information for Canada. Or... Hawaii. Or... Brasil. It also doesn't do any good if it's not even the best price and service YOU might get.Things you should consider (this example is basically for PRINT):- do I want to print locally?- how much do I want to spend on the actual printing- do I need extra software or help to get the data done (basically Photoshop and Indesign are always your best friends in that case)- how much sh
Draw With Me # 1 - The BasicsHey guys, welcome to the first installment of Draw With Me You can call me Florence. I'm new to The Digital Painter and even newer to writing journals so please bear with me for this first installment!The aim of this journal is to pick a different topic every month and collect some tutorials, references and inspiration to help you guys draw. If there's a topic you're particularly interested in, write it in the comments or send me a note and I'll see what I can find for you So what better way to start this segment off than with the Basics? This journal isn't going to cover everything but I'll share with you some of my favourite resources.First of all we have Brushes! I know I see a lot of advanced digital artists say it's not about the fancy custom brushes that you use and that's true, but these still helped me a lot. Especially when it comes to skin and hair! I know a most of you would have seen these already but they are my all
Money in Art - Scams, thefts and more..I decided to write this journal entry after receiving a few too many "fishy" offers lately.Sorry in advance for the long post.Here I will share with you few personal experiences and ask a few questions that I welcome you to answer.First off, the statistics regarding artists are horrible... Most artists need to have at least a part time job to keep afloat and even the better selling ones are looking for additional sources of income. The misconceptions about art making being a wealthy source of income still exist, even though the term "struggling artist" becomes more and more popular. Art thefts and scams are quite silly if you think about it, but also very scary.I can say this upfront, I been selling my work almost from the time when I started painting... but that isn't enough to even pay all the bills, I also teach, and always look for additional projects that I can profit from... The thought of someone making money from my work while I get nothing for it, is just disgusting.C
How to Advertise you WorkOriginally posted in JewelersGuild, a group I co-founded. I felt others may benefit from this as wellRecently someone posted a comment asking people to advertise for them. This has in turn led us to the conclusion that it is high time we wrote something about advertising your work. Not everyone knows this subject very well, or how to go about doing it. First thing you need to know is that you must be the one to do the work. Don't ask someone else and offer a portion of the profits. That is considered rude, and quite lazy. You don't want that. You want to make a good impression. First impressions go a long way. Now if someone offers to advertise your work that's something else entirely. Secondly, know who your customers are. This is something a lot of people don't consider, and thus do not know how to advertise their work properly. For example let's say you make steampunk jewelry. Your primary customers would be those who are into steampunk. Is your wo
small thoughti used to try and get cover work at zenescope. in fact the first time i got one, i did it all in photoshop and worked it to death....well, about a week later i was asked to color the same cover by a different artist. ouch yeah? i was so totally bad ass and better than mine though, of that there was no doubt. so i did it, and it remained one of my favorite covers id painted digitally for a very long time.now, for long while after that i would do something sketchy and fix it in photoshop. i never paid much attention to my lines, because i could just fix it up in photoshop, be it line quality or anatomy.then i decided to start paying attention to my lines, so actually try to make something i could keep the lines on.and you guys have all seen, just in this one year what has happened as a result.my point here is yes, there can be some great convenient speed saving shortcuts in digital art, but if you find your progress slowing, consider putting photoshop down for awhile.eventually, yo

Dub Your Cassette Collection Onto an iPhone
Children of the late '70s and early '80s (plus mid '90s-born retro fetishists) — your portable music player has arrived at last. The Ion Tape Dock, coming October 23, is essentially a Walkman with an iPhone/iPod dock attached to it, but what happens in between might as well be magic. Pop in a sweet Def Leppard platter, New Jack Swing maxi single, or perhaps something from Leaving Records, then hit that button and voila!

A Thousand and One Stories
By Bill Keith
It's definitely still naughty. Who haven't you met that you're dying to meet?
There's only probably two people in Hollywood that I would love to meet: I've never met Dolly Parton.
I'm probably her biggest fan. I went to college in Knoxville, Tennessee, and that's less than an hour below Pigeon Forge, which is now Dollywood and it's like Vegas. But back then, this was '72, it was like one gas station where they had a bear in a cage. A little baby bear in a cage and you could stop to feed the baby bear. But I would smoke a whole lot of pot and I would drive to see this free concert she would give in the high school auditorium. And this is back when -- long before 'Dolly the movie star.' This is Dolly when she'd come in and say, 'What's a country girl without her hay stack?' and pat her hair. I'd go there and just cry and listen to her. I'd always wanted to meet her and then my friend Del Shores told me he was going to go meet her about a film project at this little place she kept in West Hollywood forever and I said, 'You call me the minute you get out of there and you tell me everything!' He said she met him at the front door in full Dolly drag and that the house looked like Laura Ashley had thrown up in it -- that it was just bows and ribbons. And he said that the first thing when they started talking, Dolly said 'Now Del' -- he said when she talks to you she wants to pet you and arrange your clothes and pat you and she's just so sweet. And she said, 'There's this actor -- a little tiny man that I've seen on these television shows and I think he should play my brother.' And Del said, 'My God, Dolly, he would die. He is your biggest fan.' And Dolly said, 'Where's he from?' And Del said, 'He's just white trash from the hills of Tennessee,' and Dolly said, 'Well honey, aren't we all?' [Laughter] I'd also like to meet Bette Midler. Two tinys. I saw her once doing that little Bette Midler walk. And you know her husband is 90 feet tall -- a big old German! She used to say, 'I dress up like Poland and he invades me!'
She's in Vegas now.
Yessss. Wouldn't you kill to see that? I saw Elton there. Front row. Begged to meet him. I know the head of publicity there because we shot some Will & Grace there, and I said to him, 'Tell him that little guy off Will & Grace is here and that I'd love to meet him. Beg him!' Well he came back and said 'No, Elton don't want to meet you.' [Laughs.]
No! He didn't!
He said 'No. He don't want to meet you. But don't feel bad. He didn't want to meet Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz.' So I didn't feel bad. He said it's just what mood he's in. There's nights when anybody in the audience could come in there and meet him and then there's nights he just don't meet anybody.'
You talk about your excitement over Matt Lauer's appearance on Will & Grace and how you thought you had to explain to him what tea-bagging was. Obviously you need to go on the Today Show to promote the book.
I know! I was scared to death I was. I mean I couldn't even speak. I was just like a Japanese girl behind my hand fan just giggling. How could I talk about tea-bagging on the Today Show?
When does Sordid Lives start airing on LOGO?
The premiere is 10 o'clock on July 23rd. I have never been so proud of anything. We've got Olivia Newton-John, Rue McClanahan. We filmed in Shreveport, Louisiana, which is just a cesspool of vice -- it's just like way below even Vegas.
What can you tell me about the show?
They made me sign this huge confidentiality agreement, which I don't agree with because I thought, 'Honey, you don't know the gay community. We like to whisper. This one whispers to this one, and this one whispers to that one and that's how you get the buzz going. You know you can't keep a tap on it. But it's a prequel -- it's everything up to the movie. And it is out of control. Bonnie Bedelia is brilliant in it. I'll tell you who steals the whole damn TV series is Caroline Rhea. She took over for Delta Burke.
So what's next?
Listen, I'm along for the ride. I used to worry about, 'Oh my God is this gonna happen?' I'm 53 years old and I am in my prime, honey. I am like an aging show pony. They just trot me out. You know it's such a wonderful feeling when you're not thinking that you career is gonna fix you. I spent 20 years thinking, 'God, I can't wait. I'm gonna get a big series. I'll be like Madonna. I'll walk into gay bars and people will just die!' It's so funny cause I was at the Emmys, and I thought, you know what? Back in my drinking days honey, I would have been eating this shit up! Getting to work this red carpet and go out there with Cloris Leachman and stand there in front of Warren Beatty and Annette Benning and all those famous people. and all I could think of was I just want to be home watching Forensic Files.
You open your tour in New York?
Yes, I'm coming with my trainer!
I trust that's a euphemism?
Well, that's what my friends said. No, he's this big, gorgeous straight boy who just kind of goes everywhere with me. He played Scorpion on American Gladiators. He's huuuuuuuuge! And he's got blond dreadlocks. He's the most arresting human being. He walks down the street and people just -- he doesn't even look real.
If he goes everywhere with you, he's got some traveling ahead of him.
Yes, I'm doing 30 cities! I'm getting on a bus in Memphis, Tennessee, and doing 30 cities all the way to P-Town. When I told Lily Tomlin, she said, 'Oh honey, I played the Crown and Anchor. We all did P-Town back in the 60's.' I thought, 'That is so cool!'

Is it possible to create a hyperlink to a specific scroll position on a web page? For example, I'd like to create a link to http://www.stackoverflow.com/, but with the page scrolled down 100 pixels.
You can scroll to a given position using the jQuery scrollTo plugin. If you have a look on its demo page, you'll see that the plugin is capable of many different options, including scrolling to a certain position. That would mean you'd have to control the target's JavaScript, though, so this might not be suitable for a link to an external site. |

Similar to Paul's answer, you can also link to the first occurrence of a tag ID in an HTML document. This won't be an exact number of pixels though. For example, link/scroll to this page's question or answers. |

For those who crush your cereal when making RKT for modeling, do you use the same ratio of marshmallow to cereal as you do if you were making them for eating? I have read that you can get a smoother finish if you crush the cereal before making the RKT, but I haven't been able to find any info as to whether the recipe should be different than "normal".
Thanks for any help!
