I will start out by saying that every so often they will do a small, nice gesture. Maybe pass out fruit or at Christmas dress up as Santa and elves. Well, there is a guy up stair that dresses up pretty funny for certain holidays and people like it.Cons
They like to distract people with anything they can to avoid giving out real pay to people. I'm fed up with the simple answers they paw-off to people, when our turnover rate is high. Like no one knows really why people are leaving and why we have so many interns to run our business. They don't have that many people beating down their door to work for them.
I love the comments that they are family friendly. Just saying it doesn't make it true. Where is the cheaper heath care costs, decent pay, or better flexibility in hours or better vacation.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Spend less time trying to convince people of how great your company is and instead do good things for them. Then the praise will come. Very poor advancement with them. Either they don't promote or give lame raises.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEO

- Career Opportunities
I worked at Watlow Electric Manufacturing full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Group meetings. Lots of OT all the time. Most of my co-op friends are fun to be with.Cons
They have lots of positions to fill. Why, it's due to turnover. Why such turnover? Because if you want to move into any good paying job, you'll have to be there 20 years. My facility has only a few hundred and of those had maybe 100 non-manufacturing support personnel. So Engineers, designers, Purchasing, CI, Customer Service and on. We lost a good bunch of them already. The company feels that if they keep using these rotational kids from collage, they'll never have to worry about getting people and then they can also force the pay levels lower. This has worked so well for them. Like one post below said the rotational engineers think the job is good paying until they see what other companies will offer them. So they leave and others seem to follow.
I agree with another post below also. The support team is always short and never has enough resources to get jobs done. Watlow doesn't hire additional resources, only replacements. This leaves them to their priority lists and charts. They specialize in these. Move the people around and around and around.
They can't afford new people or to hang on to them. But then you hear 1 of our facilities got to celebrate a 100 year celebration. No money though remember. Why didn't the rest of the plants get to celebrate this. "One Watlow'" right?
This next part goes on for all the non-manufacturing employees not just one group either. For the 3 years I was at this place, I saw only the afterhours buddies get special position jobs that don't get posted for everyone to apply. I also have watch HR strong arm pay at every turn. This is both at local and corporate level. They'll give you the "do it for the Greater Watlow". Not for yourself, but think of the Big W.
They will waste money on stupid trainings for 2 days though. Everyone has to go to a program called something like Enrichment of Your Lives or close to that. People don't want to argue and just go. They spent $1,000's's's's's on the conference hall rentals, The program content from a consulting firm, CD's, books, and peoples time. Each month they did this until everyone was through with the training. It was a joke, but when asked about the program, people told them it was great so they don't get lectured. All that money that they have so little of, just to tell people to believe in themselves. That was so useful right?
There was so many action items people vented in those meetings about that they had to use several tablet pages to keep up. In the end not even1 item on that list has been worked on.
I've been fortunate enough to see all 5 of the big facilities and 1 small one outside the US. The US facilities, with the exception of our Minnesota plant, make it look like we traveled to some company that is making parts out of a garage. Now that I think about it, our IL or WI plant looks half like a garage and the other half is more modern. I was told to not be fooled by the modern looking side by the line operators. They told me it looks a little nicer but runs terrible and their expected to make parts still at rate even if it's down. That same facility is also spending tons of money to dress up the building outside. Really? This is wasted spending. I wanted my place to look nice to. Why didn't we get a new outside look.Advice to ManagementAdvice
People keep leaving and you do nothing. Instead you institute a base raise system which gives everyone a standard only. No matter how good you do or bad. You make benefits so costly that its a pain now to survive on. You medical contribution hasn't changed in 3 years and some have said longer or if it did only $10 more. Remove the people getting the 30% bonus and higher from getting the 2% everyone else gets and reduce the 30% and higher down by 10% boosting the support members and lower supervisors higher than 5%+ let them keep the 2% everyone gets. I think bonuses are great but if your making $120,000 and get just the 30% level you get a $40,000 check. What about spreading that a little better like 15% and drop it down to the levels below that are only at 5%. A $20,000 bonus is still pretty good.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO

I have been working at Watlow Electric Manufacturing (more than 3 years)Pros
my employees are great ad really bend over backwards to get work done. The company has a personal, positive view of itself.Cons
Raises are standard and now all the same. If you do great or poor you all get the same. The wonderful 2% increase. Health coverage is expensive at 3,000 deduct for single and 6,000 for family. We shuffle issues around until everyone forgets the problem and sucks it up to accept it will never be worked on. We focus on personal pet projects and not tough issuesAdvice to ManagementAdvice
meet with not only employees but also mid-level members to discuss issues. Allow anonymous comments to allow people to open up also. Spend some money to fix all the issues in that place. you close 1 issue for every 12 we opened up. I don't see the greatness described in other posts on this place. most of these great comments seem to be around people that have gotten their first career break in this place. That view will change as they work with other companies. The turn-over rate in the facility and company was terrible. This should be the real sign that you have a problem. You need to have your management people do something about it besides say that they know the market rates and we know that we are paying well. If you are paying well even little things wouldn't matter to much. It seems you might not be paying well. At the 2% raise rate, in a few years you'll be making less money vs the inflation rate. so in reality you will be working for less year after year. There is also a problem when we have to wait months to fill a position opening and only have a few candidates to choose from. If this company was so great we should have dozens of applicants in a few months. Instead we beg Agencies to help us find more.
Your engineers, Supervisors, CI support, Quality group, Lab teams etc. have not seen a market bump in years and have always been told that the company has only a little money to go around. Every year Watlow has almost no money. Is the company doing that bad?Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

To All in the paths of big storms...
Be careful and best of luck; A lot of us here are thinking about you!!
Best Regards,
Don B.
We got about 8 inches of snow here in London on Thursday night and Friday - closed all the schools in the area and made getting to work a real pain for many on Friday. Today we're enjoying a gorgeous winter wonderland sort of day with sun and pristine expanses of snow - the sort of day that makes up for the inconvenience of living in a snow belt.
However points east, maritimes, New England etc. may take a LOT longer to shovel out. Anyone here from Boston area?
The part of our family near Boston has yet to check in this morning. But the son in southern New Hampshire called to say they surprisingly did not lose power, and things were fairly nice today.
Let's hope the locust trees near the street and power lines on DH's road did not take out the power. His home is about 25 miles NW of Boston near 128.
Here in Central Mass we did not lose power even though we had 30 inches of snow and gale force winds. Cape Cod and the South Shore, however, are completely in the dark and it's going to take some days for them to get it back.
Over 2 feet of snow. Power off form 9:30 PM to 6:00 AM. Back off at 9:30 AM and just came back on at about 6:15 PM as we were headed into single digits tonight.
I kept warm by heating pots and pans full of water on my gas stove, bringing them to a boil every 2 hours or so and shutting off most rooms. The sound of the boiler humming away is so sweet.
Sounds really miserable and no power makes it worse. We had that happen so we put in a wood heater to make sure this never took place again. Now I love my wood heat better then the gas(except for the mess)Hopefully the worst is almost over but the clean up
A friend in southern NH sent us a picture of the pathway to her mailbox, it took her 30 minutes to slog through the snow which looked about knee deep or so, how do you know where the pathway is.....tomorrow will be a real blue Monday back to work for most people.
Down here, we have the next 4 days predicted as thunderstorms and winds, a lot of moisture, and that may exit northeast for the Atlantic seaboard....hopefully not icy roads for you guys.
Quite a mess.
Power has stayed on since last night. Dogwood has collapsed and was pulling down on both the power and cable lines. Snow has dropped off the branches and they no longer are laying on the wires. A lot of big branches. It will take a couple of good long days to clean it up and burn it all.
I will get either an emergency generator or a gas insert for my fireplace this summer. Soaking rain coming in tomorrow...what a mess that will be.
Pretty though
Bernd, the trick to getting a snow blower to go through very high snow is to-
First slug through and get one pathway through the snow. Once this initial path is in take swaths only 1/4 the width of the snow blower. This way the auger on the blower can handle the amount of snow going in and will eat right through very deep snow.
When you try to gobble through a whole width (in my case 24 inches) it is too much and you end up trying to plow the snow rather than feeding it into the auger and discharging it. I had over 2 feet and by taking about 6 inch 'cuts' off the edge it ate right through the snow and sent it flying.
The first pass is rough and requires a lot of back and forth to get it through. You also need a 2 stage blower, single stages cannot handle any heavy loads. Electric snow blowers are only good for very, very light snows (useless, in my opinion). I had to rescue my next door neighbors who have an electric blower; trying to be 'green' It could not touch the heavy snow we had and they were having a horrible time trying to shovel out......like a good neighbor, I was there to bail them out with my carbon dioxide breathing, snow eating machine.
Jon, good for you. I like to hear about neighbours helping neighbours. We have neighbours who will help if needed.
My husband developed plantar faciitis early this week.Then we got about 18" of snow on Friday. He was able to hobble out on Saturday but the tractor wouldn't start. We are both retired, so I told him not to panic that we could dig ourselves out when it stopped snowing. He was able to remove the snow today, so I was able to get out to restock the fridge and pantry.
So, I hope everyone fared as well as we did.
Jon, I have a 9 HP Craftsman 2stage snowthrower. We had only 7 inches snow, so no problem. I did the snowbank the plow had left in the driveway at the road as you describe, slicing 1/3 to 1/2 off. Though the wet snow on the road the blower did not take. But 30 inch high would take hours with many breaks inbetween. We did not lose any power in upstate NY. Best luck to you! Bernd
Many years ago my then neighbor's wife would be out shoveling out the drive so when her husband got home he could drive right in. She had a bad back so I would go out and help her out. My neighbor eventually bought a snow blower and every time there was heavy snow he would then come over and clear out my driveway.
What goes around comes around. It pays to be nice, even if it just makes you feel good.
We haven't had any long power outages for many years since they put up heavy duty cable reinforced lines around the area. The snow would not have been bad, but the winds were really hurricane force and brought down a lot of trees onto lines. About 75% of the city had at least a short outage.
The municipal light plant in town did a great job and I saw some Western Mass line crews out on the road in the area that they must have brought in. They did a very good job under some very difficult circumstances. Hats off to them.
A thread like this one really looks beautiful with the new format of GardenWeb. How long has this been in effect? I thought I was on here last night, and did not see the beauteous decorative framing for our photos and postings. Very colorful. Very much appreciated.
God bless you all, so good to hear that you are digging out!

Philadelphia Flyers goalie Steve Mason has never been afraid to try out a new helmet design. As a matter of fact, his most recent redesign is already his second since being traded to Philadelphia in April. Mason's first helmet with the Flyers featured a lot of stitches, a shredded Flyers logo, a zombie from the Walking Dead, and his English Bulldog named George. What could possibly be next? A sketch of Mason's new cage art, complete with zombie Revolutionaries. (From NHL.com) Well, according to NHL.com's Adam Kimelman, Mason will sport a full-blown Philadelphia zombie apocalypse helmet for his first full season with the team. The mask will prominently feature Betsy Ross, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington leading the zombie charge as the apocalypse takes over Philadelphia in 1776. Franny Drummond, the designer of the helmet, said Mason wanted a new spin on a lot of horror-type qualities that he has had on past helmets. "He said, 'I want horror, but without a horror movie,' " Drummond told NHL.com. "He [Mason] said, 'why don't we do Ben Franklin as a zombie,' [and] I said, 'I guess we could do it.' I said I'll do sketches, over the summer we'll go back and forth over design work, and this is basically what I came up with. Betsy Ross, any historical figures, and taking it and making it into a zombie apocalypse that hit Philadelphia in 1776." "This mask is going to have a lot of glowing, very eerie," he said. "That's why with Betsy Ross, if you notice the background, she's got the candle with the smoke coming up. She's going to be black and white like an old photograph, and then it'll have a little bit of backlit, so you'll see the orange glow off her shoulder." Mason is a self-proclaimed fan of The Walking Dead, so the zombie theme is fitting for him and culturally appealing as well. This might not be the only zombie helmet we see from Mason this season, as Drummond says Mason likes to try different designs regularly. "Derek [Settlemyre, Flyers head equipment manager] said he changes them constantly," Drummond said. "He's always changing gear, so you get a new lid and go."

The other day our nine year old came home from school with a coin collection box for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. "Do you have any coins, Mommy?" she asked, and I sent her upstairs to raid the plastic jug on our dresser. The cardboard bank is now sitting on our kitchen table.
I'm a regular reader of Runner's World. Like most special-interest magazines, there's a lot of repetition of ideas if you read long enough, but it's excellent monthly motivation and entertainment for this unexpected hobby and lifestyle of mine.
At times the magazine is downright inspirational.
I had a great time with an engaging group of Christian educators and pastors in Austin last week, leading a workshop on Spirituality in the Smartphone Age. The folks were funny and thoughtful.
As I drove home from breakfast with a church member recently, I caught the last 15 minutes of The Diane Rehm show on NPR. She and her panel were discussing the upcoming midterm elections. One of them shared a recent poll, in which only 15 percent of respondents said they were "closely following" the midterm elections. Among voters ages 18-29, that number is 5 percent.
The topic turned to voter turnout, especially among young people. How can we get young people to register and vote?
Essential questions for leadership
I meet monthly with a group of pastors to talk about ministry, leadership, family systems stuff and more. (We also catch an occasional Nats game.)
The other day our facilitator shared this handout, which inspired much discussion:
I'm meeting this week with The Well, my yearly cohort group. I laugh more during this week of "preacher camp" than I do any other week of the year. This year has been heavier than normal, with several concerns for friends, loved ones, and ourselves. This has made the mirth all the more necessary and sweet.
Many colleagues have wished for their own preacher camp.
Jimmy Fallon is succeeding a giant of late-night television, and he's entering a crowded field. At 39 years old, he's taking a leap onto a larger stage and needs to prove himself in some ways. As I watched, I was struck by the smart stuff that was going on under the surface, whether calculated or not, and I started to relate Jimmy's debut to other situations leaders find themselves in.
In the Gettysburg Address, we see the classic preacher's conundrum: the call to put words around that which is ineffable. Can we do it in 272 words?
Recently I listened to a debate on the radio show Q, "Is the Internet making us smarter or stupider?" Lots of great stuff I'm still chewing on, but one thing caught my attention.
The other day I heard Maya Lin talk about her design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. I've visited the wall many times, and it's always crowded with people, many of them deeply moved by the v-shaped black granite gash in the earth.
I was planning to write about my predecessor in ministry, and then I read Jan Edmiston's post, "Please. Get Some Non-Church Friends," which is about much the same thing.
It's been a wonderful summer—our family's trip to Iona, Scotland was over-the-moon wonderful—but it's good to be back into a routine. I put my lastborn child on the school bus this week. I won't lie, there were a couple of happy mommy tears as he waved from the second seat and rumbled away.
These days I know a startling number of pastors and seminary graduates who cannot find jobs in the church. Some are geographically limited by spouses—many of whom are pursuing their "dream job" while the wife (and in virtually every case it's the wife) languishes in under- or unemployment.
I was with a group of folk from another congregation recently, introducing them to NEXT Church and talking about my involvement as co-chair. We got to talking about generational differences when it comes to membership in an institution, particularly a church.
This is almost unfathomable.
I lived in Tornado Alley during my teenage years, but they were quiet years for tornadoes. Honestly, I never took them seriously. Teenagers are invincible, after all. Whenever the subject came up we'd make jokes about trailer parks. It was classist privilege—I know that now, wrapped in a candy coating of "it couldn't happen to me."
It could.
My husband and I went to see 42 the other night. Good film, well worth seeing. There was the tiniest layer of cheese over the movie, and the score was not the least bit subtle. But it was well done, and it captured the essence of his story, at least according to Robinson's widow.
A church member had told me to be on the lookout for references to faith, and they were certainly there.
I wrote a post last week about Sheryl Sandberg's new book Lean In and said in part:
There is still a tremendous gender gap in ministry. By and large, women are the associate pastors and solo pastors. Men are the tall-steeple preachers. (Men of my generation are very sad about this, and they lament it—sincerely, I believe—but will gladly move into those prestigious and well-paying positions even as they tilt their heads sympathetically and decry the patriarchy.)
Some of my Facebook friends have been posting beautiful, excruciating articles about the loss of Noah Pozner, the youngest victim of Newtown. He was a twin. He was a darling child. And his family has been thoughtful, yet unflinching, in their mourning of him.
You can read the articles here and here—please be warned that they are wrenching. You may forget to breathe.
A couple of articles are making the rounds among my friends right now. The first is this Century article by Craig Barnes (the new president of Princeton Seminary), who provides his reflections on why pastors cannot (or should not) be friends with parishioners. Of course there can be close and intimate relationships, and pastor and flock are friendly to one another. But Barnes argues that the clergy role is such that true mutual friendship is impossible, or at least inadvisable.
The second article is about a pastor of a large church in Charlotte who's on a leave of absence at a treatment center after struggling with depression and alcohol abuse.
My friend Jan recently uninstalled the Disaster Alert app on her phone. Her hope was that the app would move her to pray and respond to natural and human-inflicted disasters as they happened. Instead, the app overwhelmed her and stressed her out.

5 Stunningly Hot Moves You Should Ask Your Cam Girl to Do
It's not unusual to wind up with a bit of a creative block when you're using cam sites on a regular basis. The idea of cam sites is still appealing, but you're having trouble deciding what you should ask your favorite cam girl to do for you. We've all been there, and it can make using cam sites a little more daunting than it should be. You don't want to ask her to do all the same things you've seen before, especially if you're spending quite a bit of money on her. You might even wind up tipping her before you know what you want her to do, which is never an ideal situation to be in.
We have some amazing moves you should be asking your favorite cam girl to do for you – don't worry about getting creative block any longer. Just keeping these requests in mind will help you make the most out of your cam site experiences since you won't have to spend so long worrying about what to ask her to do when you're using cam sites. Trust us, these are some awesome but simple requests that will please you every time.
1. Using a Bullet Vibrator on Herself
If you're searching for something new for your model to do and you're on one of the highest rated live cam sites available, then it may be time to ask her to break out the bullet vibrator. Small but powerful, bullet vibrators are a great way to watch a cam girl pleasure herself without blocking much of the action. There's nothing sexy about watching a cam girl mash a giant vibrator against her pussy, because it blocks all of the good parts from view. Bullet vibes have all of the awesome sensations (for her, at least) without all of the bulk.
Watching her use a bullet vibe can be a great way to get things heated up, especially if she plays with herself while she's using it. As long as her camera is angled properly, you'll be able to see all the good bits without having to worry about being bored or cockblocked by a too-bulky vibrator. It's a win-win situation all around, so if your cam girl has a bullet vibe, it might be time to ask her to break it out for you.
2. Doing a Little Dance or Strip Tease
You might think that asking a cam girl to strip for you is a bit plain, but think about it this way – you're on one of the best cam sites on the Internet, such as LiveSexAwards.com, and your model is smoking hot. She knows what she's doing and any strip tease she does is going to be anything BUT boring. Ask her to do a little dance and she might just surprise you with her skill – she might have been an exotic dancer in the past, or maybe she actually has a pole set up in her room. You never know what you might wind up with, but chances are good that it will be amazing. Of course, some cam girls just aren't that good at dancing, and that's fine – but you'll never really know until you ask her to do it, so there's no reason to delay. She might only do a striptease or she might go for the gold and actually put on a performance for you, but either way it's a good way to get things started. If you are eager to know the best live cam site, then check out LiveSexAwards Review: Does It Really Make the Grade? See for Sure No doubt, it is the number one rated site but we leave the decision for you to judge.
3. Changing Her Outfit
It seems simple, and it might not be that high up on your top-rated live cam site requests, but it's actually a good thing to ask her to do. Asking a cam girl to change her outfit can be more exciting than you ever realized, especially if you have a fetish or kink for a certain type of costume. Chances are that she has that costume all ready for you, and watching her put it on can be just as amazing as watching her take her clothes off on a regular occasion. Since this is such a simple request, it's usually not going to be one that she denies. If you're worried about getting turned down, then a simple request like this is not only hot, but it's pretty much guaranteed that she will do it for you. Don't worry about being denied, and focus more on what you're going to ask her to change into.
4. Showing off All Her Sex Toys
If you're watching a cam girl on a high-quality site like LiveSexAwards.com, you can bet she's going to have an impressive range of sex toys to use during her performances. If you ask her to show off her sex toys, it gives her something sexy to do and it allows you to preview the goods so you can decide what to have her use on herself later on. Some girls really know how to put on a show, and it's not like she's just going to dump a Tupperware box full of dildos out on her lap and stare at you. She's probably going to take each one out and show it off, and from there it should be fairly easy to convince her to lick it or play with it a bit.
Plus, you never know what she might wind up pulling out of her box of tricks. She could have a type of sex toy you have never seen before, so if you want to experiment and try new things, this is a great way to get started in that direction with minimal effort on your part. Not to mention it's such an easy request that she's not going to turn it down, especially if you're willing to tip her for it. You can't go wrong.
5. Stretching herself out with Her Biggest Toys
When you've gone through the trouble of browsing ratings of live cam sites, you should absolutely get your money's worth whenever you log on to the site of your choosing. Asking a cam girl to stretch herself out with her biggest toys can be a great way to get that money's worth, plus it can really hit on a size kink if you have one. Some cam girls have some freakishly large toys, and watching her use one on herself can really excite you in ways that you never before thought possible. If you know that she's the type of girl that has larger toys, you might want to ask her to do this. It might take a bit of extra tipping and convincing, but its still worth giving it a shot.
Some sites do have rules against overly large toys in accordance with certain country's obscenity laws, so it is something you have to be careful about. Make sure that she's okay using these types of toys and that she's allowed to use them before you get started. Once that's taken care of, all that you need to do is sit back and enjoy the show – it's bound to be an interesting one. You might be surprised by just how much some cam girls can really fit up there – it can get a bit crazy, and you're bound to be entertained if nothing else.

Call for arrest of watch captain who shot kid
ORLANDO, Fla. -- College students around Florida rallied Monday to demand the arrest of a white neighborhood watch captain who shot an unarmed black teen last month, though authorities may be hamstrung by a state law that allows people to defend themselves with deadly force.Read more

Richard is a sad little man. Another one who can't get over the whole Casey Anthony thing. Someone should do a study on the wackos who are still fixated on that case.

He could alievate a murder conviction by pleading to felony negligent homicide or felony manslaughter. But that's ok, if he goes all the way to trial, at least the facts leading up to his conviction will be known and there will be less chance racist democrats will have any ammunition to claim any plea based conviction was a cop out by zimmerman or race based political prosecution.

Actually, if we talk facts here, there is no proof the shooting was self defense because Florida law provides that a person who can prove self defense is immune from prosecution and Zimmerman is not immune from prosecution, therefore logically, factully and lawfully, one can deduce that zimmerman cannot prove self defense.

There is no frog necessary, Zimmerman is being prosecuted, Florida state law states that a person who can prove self defense is immune from prosecution. I suppose if frogs had wings, they could fly into the courtroom and pick up Zimmerman and fly him to a country where he cant be extradited to the U.S. for the continuance of his PROSECUTION that he ain't immune from, LIL.
#14456 May 31, 2012
I think the Zimmerman Family is wondering the same thing. All eyes are on Florida again, will they sacrifice justice to rectify themselves? I think the prosecution in the Anthony case did a fine job, it was the retarded idiotic jurors with an IQ of less than 40 that was the problem. Without getting into it and analyze what's past the fools never asked to see one piece of evidence. Judge wooden eye Perry appoints a juror that isn't able to judge anyone, oh ok????? He has a deadline to keep at all cost.
Zimmermans Father Blasts Obama:I Never Foresaw So Much Hate Coming From The President| The father of the man accused of killing Travyon Martin slammed President Obama and civil rights leaders for supposedly spewing hate. Robert Zimmerman, father of George, told a local Fox affiliate in Florida that groups demanding justice for Martin like the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP are just trying to get notoriety or profit from this in some way. He called on Obama to go beyond the hate. Obama spoke publicly about the case last week, saying he supported new investigations into the killing. While Obama made a personal comment about his own children, he never mentioned Zimmerman. Watch it:
I can't even imagine how GZ felt hearing this from the President of the United States....ironically the same one he rallied for and voted for. It sounded like he was one of the terrorists in the 9-11 attacks.

Angela Corey said the first thing she did when she met Martin/ Fulton was pray. What??????She should be reprimanded for that comment alone. I'm paying her salary to what, pray? Meanwhile GZ was in hiding because his life was being threatened. What a coward, pandering to racists. Her speech was a disgrace! I can't wait to NOT vote for her in the elections.
The only thing "special" about Angela Corey is her salary.'Cause it's sure not her class.
#14459 May 31, 2012
do you have PROOF of that statement - or is this just a frustrated rant because the case was not hushed up and shrugged off like Zimmerman and you all wished?
NOTHING so far have shown the killing to be in self-defense! I am not going to accept the killer's version without the detectives and forensics backing it up with real facts!
#14460 May 31, 2012
#14461 May 31, 2012
Are you really as stupid as you appear to be? What "forensics" do you think are going to come out?? You think there's some forensic marker that will show whether or not Z. "shoved" the Thugboy like DeDe the ghetto ho claimed she could hear??? What exactly do you think will come out that will disprove Zimmerman's story? Think the rotted corpse of the dirtbag thug will sit up and speak?
#14462 May 31, 2012
give the detectives and forensics more credit than that - lets wait and watch
#14463 May 31, 2012
Oh, and you stupid cow, EVERY piece of evidence so far has backed up Zimmerman's story. EVERY ONE. He says ThugTray punched him in the nose. He had a broken nose. He says ThugTray beat his head on the ground. He had injuries to the back of his head. He had evidence on his clothing that indicated that he was on his back on the wet ground. ThugTray has NO bruises, lacerations or other indications that anyone hit him in any way. His only injury was to a finger, consistent with punching another person, and a GSW that ended his criminal career. Witnesses identify ThugTray as having been on top, beating Zimmerman's head on the ground. Of course, as the blacks pressure those people and they fear for their lives, they're backing down some, but I believe they'll re-find their courage by the trial. What EVIDENCE-real evidence, not crap you make up like "Tray thought Zimmerman was a thug" which you cannot possibly know- REAL EVIDENCE, PLEASE-do you have that Zimmerman's account of ThugTray's attack on him is NOT true??? Don't bother, I already know you have NOTHING because there has been not ONE SHRED of evidence that indicates anything of the kind. You're just a racist who thinks that because this ghetto thug pig was black he MUST be a victim. Thank goodness Zimmerman had that gun or that ghetto scum would have kept beating his head on the ground til he was dead. YAY ZIMMERMAN!
#14464 May 31, 2012
In other words, you have no clue because there IS no clue. You're just sucking on another dead kid's bones. Freaking GHOUL.

Exactly. The racist black "leaders" Sharpton and Jackson, the greedy parents Tracy and Sybrina, and idiots like Corey who bowed to political pressure (which may well have come from the very top of the political ladder) and arrested a man and essentially ruined his life and future, with ZERO evidence of wrong-doing on his part. I hope Ms. Fat-Butt Corey is voted out in the next election. I hope Mr. Community Organizer Socialist Butt Wipe Obama is voted out in the next election.j And I hope that a jury has enough brains to laugh Corey out of court and set Mr. Zimmerman free. I don't know how the poor man will ever be able to have a normal life again with a bunch of low-class blacks out to kill him, but I hope he can get past this unfortunate incident and forget that the scumbag dope dealer Trayvon Martin ever crossed his path.
#14467 May 31, 2012
hey, freaking racist b*tch - THERE IS NO PROOF that Zimmerman killed Trayvon in self defense - SPIN IT ANY WAY YOU LIKE!
Like there is no PROOF or TRUTH to the statements you keep making about Trayvon being a thug, selling drugs that night, not finding a dealer/client, not wanting to be identified...
pure Bullshit and LIES
#14468 May 31, 2012
Awww look at her stamping her dirty little feet in a tantrum. When Zimmerman walks are you going to cry and whine and claim to have loved ThugTray, too???? Maybe you'll change your name to show what an obsessed, creepy, corpse sucking FREAK you are about this case too..........you're almost as funny as that wacko Rambler chick..........HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA HAHAH. And your mouth is as dirty as the rest of you, stinkgirl.

Virtual reality games often cause simulator sickness, but new research findings point to a potential strategy to ease the affliction.

My wife & I along with our 15 year old daughter took a half term break to Aqua Fun Club Marrakech. Firstly you will need the patience of a saint at passport control on your arrival to Morocco & pay no more than 400 dirham for a taxi to the hotel 300dhm is better. On arriving at the Hotel (about 10pm for us) the staff was very helpful getting us through the check in process & showing us to our room (very good standard & size rooms). The buffet was still open (until 11pm) so after getting suitably refreshed we had a look round. We were greeted by a member of the animation team (izzy) who in the days to come became a very valuable source of help and a constant smiling face at the AFC. His knowledge of not only the hotel and its timetable was fantastic but also outside the hotel the Moroccan culture, trips to town and the mountains and even helped me get to and from golf (not organized through the hotel). The hotel is cleaned constantly it's a wonder there is a pathway left the female staff work tirelessly to keep the place spotless. All the staff are friendly and very hard working, the water park was very clean with a very good selection of slides etc 33 at last count...

To Womankind
Womankind, please make up your mind!
You want a man true sensitive
A vulnerable romantic type
Open to his inner self and willing there to live
And yet - is it contrarily? - you need a man protective
To keep you safe, your children well secure
To chase away the other wolves
And memories from the door
I'm just one person - not quite two - enough perhaps
For what you want... but not for all your needs
So now what happens to the rest of me,
Inadequate, the wounded part that bleeds?

A protector who is able and willing to be vulnerable, gentle, passionate. So beautiful, but in short, I think we all want it all, and even then we want more. What a kind way to express this frustration we all share, even those of us who make the rules. (Report) Reply
Original Unknown Girl (5/9/2007 8:59:00 AM)
Frank, I like the threads of this poem and empathise with you your problem. You are right and Dee probably mentions it that for some, sometimes nothing is ever enough. Us women are strange beings, we want that whole masculine protecting man-thing going on but we want you all to be sensitive too, and if you are too much of one and not enough of the other we're not happy! I guess it's an eternal dilemma for all, both sexes struggle to understand EXACTLY what they want but you convey your frustrations here most eloquently. Bravo! HG: -) xx (Report) Reply

An interesting write; unfortunately people are in love with an impossible ideal of the opposite gender, thus ensuring a fated and eventual demise of most relationships. (Report) Reply

Frank..what...you mean you can't be all things to all people? ? ? What's wrong with you man? ? (just kiddin...really and truly!) You can only do all that you can do...and for some...even that won't be enough.
