Fourth Moravian student to receive prestigious award in last four years
(Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) - Moravian College graduate M. Leslie Smith has been selected to receive a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship. Smith will spend a year in Madrid, Spain, researching the roles of Spanish women during the beginning years of franquismo (1930's and 1940's), focusing on how women were affected by the literature of the time. Smith's Fulbright Scholarship is the sixth such award given to a Moravian student in recent history. She is one of only sixty applicants to receive the award nationwide.
Smith will conduct research and attend classes at the Instituto Universitario de Estudios de la Mujer (IUEM), the women's studies institute of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
The research will be an extension of Smith's honors thesis, "The Literary Portrayal of the Roles of Spanish Women in Four Post-Civil War Novels," an analysis of the female protagonists in Camilo José Cela's La colmena, Mercé Rodoreda's La plaza del Diamante, Carmen Martín Gaite's El cuarto de atrás, and Carmen Laforet's Nada. These four post-Spanish Civil War novels portray the roles of women during the 1930's and 1940's, the beginning years of franquismo.
Dr. Carmen Ferrero-Pino, assistant professor of Spanish, who served as Smith's advisor, said, "The Fulbright is a great honor to Leslie and to Moravian College." "While conducting research at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Leslie will be emersed in the langauage and culture of Spain which will expand her horizons academically, socially, and culturally. "
Smith was appreciative of Ferrero-Pino's guidance and expertise. "Dr. Ferrero gave me the guidance and freedom that I needed when completing my honors project. She was also experienced in what I was researching, and she provided resources that I otherwise wouldn't have even been aware of," said Smith. "With my Fulbright application, She has helped me make contacts and solidify my project. She's become a sounding board and a friend to me."
Dr. Dennis Glew, professor of history and chair of the scholarship committee, guided Smith throughout the application process. "Dr. Glew has had unwavering faith in me, and he's been a constant resource of information," said Smith "Applying for any type of scholarship can be overwhelming, but Dr. Glew's experience kept me focused and his encouragement kept me going. Just walking into his office provided a wave of relief whenever I was feeling overwhelmed with applications, my honors project, classes, or anything else because his belief in me and what I was doing never faltered," Smith said.
Smith's future plans focus on teaching. "Upon returning to the United States, I plan to teach either English literature or English as a second language in a high school while pursuing my master's degree in either English literature or education. I will most likely teach at an inner-city school for a while and eventually live abroad and teach English as a second language in a Spanish-speaking country," Smith said. "I know that I am ready to share my education and the importance of education with others. There is never an end to learning, and the best teachers are lifetime learners. I plan to spend the rest of my life teaching and learning from other people."
The daughter of George R. and Joyce Smith of Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania, Leslie attended Hazleton Area High School. She graduated this spring from Moravian College with a 4.0 grade-point-average and received a Bachelor of Arts in both English and Spanish.
Smith has been recognized with a number of Moravian's highest academic awards including the Moravian College Alumni Fellowship Award (for academic achievement, campus leadership, and community service); the Virginia Chatfield English Scholarship (English major with highest GPA); and Comenius Scholar (highest academic scholarship for entering students at Moravian).
A regular on the Dean's List at Moravian, Smith is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa (national honor society) and received their award for Moravian College's "Unsung Hero," and the Sophomore "Rising Star."
Smith is a member of Sigma Tau Delta (English honor society), Phi Sigma Iota (foreign language honor society). She served as president of Phi Eta Sigma (national leadership honor society ) and as secretary of Kappa Delta Pi (educational honor society).
While at Moravian, Smith worked with The Learning Connection Mentoring Program - serving as a mentor for a local elementary school students. She served as president and treasurer of the Zinzendorf Literary Society, Student Academic Advisor, Manuscript Literary Magazine board member, Comenian newspaper staff, IMPACT campus programming board, and Emerging Leaders Program.
Smith was a student teacher at a number of Bethlehem schools. During the spring, she taught 7th grade Developmental Reading and English Language Arts at Northeast Middle School and she taught 9th grade Honors and Applied English at Freedom High School. Previously, she worked with students at Liberty High School and Moravian Academy.
Smith is the fourth Moravian student in the last four years to win a prestigious Fulbright. Last year, Courtney Rice, a German major from the class of 2001, received a Fulbright Scholarship and served a year teaching English at a German middle school in the town of Oberschönau in Sachsen (Saxony). She continued her research on the history of 18th and 19th century Moravian education.
Daniel Byrne, a German and history graduate from the class of 2000, received a Fulbright Scholarship in 2000 and served as a "pädagogischer assistant" teaching history at a high school that prepares students for university studies. Byrne also conducted research on postwar author Heinrich Böll.
Marianne Zwicker, a German graduate of the class of '99, received a Fulbright in 1999 and spent a year conducting research in Berlin on the status of Germany's Gypsies following the Holocaust.
Other Fulbright recipients from Moravian include Patricia McAndrew, class of 1968, an honors history student who received the award to work with a well-known Danish ballet master. Helen Bachonin, class of 1965, received a Fulbright for study at the University of Madrid.
The U.S. Congress created the Fulbright Program in 1946, immediately after World War II, to foster mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchanges. Today the Fulbright Program is the U.S. Government's premier scholarship program. It enables U.S. students, artists and other professionals to benefit from unique resources all over the world.
Each year the Fulbright Program allows Americans to study or conduct research in over 100 nations. The Institute of International Education (IIE) coordinates the activities relevant to the U.S. graduate student program and conducts an annual competition for the scholarships, most of which are for one academic year of study or research.
The Fulbright (Full Grant) provides round-trip transportation; language or orientation courses, where appropriate; tuition, in some cases; book and research allowances; and maintenance for the academic year.
The U.S. Student Program is designed to give recent B.S./B.A. graduates, masters and doctoral candidates, and young professionals and artists opportunities for personal development and international experience. Most grantees plan their own programs.
Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Visit the Web site at www.moravian.edu.

I wrote previously that I didn't think the Celtics could outscore the Knicks and that was certainly the case in Game One. Boston was crisp offensively in the first half, but was hapless in the second. The Knicks allowed their foe to shoot just 25.9% in the second half and forced 11 turnovers. Kenyon Martin gave New York a huge boost in 17 second half minutes. Not only did he provide solid defensive rebounding and rim protection, but he was strong in jumping out and guarding the Celtic small forwards at times.
New York has been a great fourth quarter team all season and that showed true again today. They outscored Boston by 10 in the fourth quarter, holding the Celtics to 8 points. That's not a typo. The Celtics scored 8 points in the 4th. That's unheard of, especially in a playoff game. They also did a great job containing notorious Knick killers Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, holding them to 10-27 shooting combined. All in all, it was a great defensive effort.

Perhaps in a bid to cement their country's reputation as the world's leader in citizen-inspired content, a Swedish customer-owned pet insurance company has decided to celebrate their ownership model by surrendering its creative to the tender mercies of the consumer.
However, they might as well abandon the effort after Eva's request for a team of skydiving cats to spell out her name against the backdrop of an azure sky. Because there's no topping it, and even if somebody happens to pull off such an achievement, we worry about our ability to handle the emotional wallop it would have to pack in order to compete.

Signage can say everything about a new establishment. It can denote the atmosphere, types of patrons, and mission of a company. A well-crafted sign conveys information about the product and service. But it must do all this within a single glimpse, as commuters rush to and from their destinations. Neon signs for bars or open signs made of neon are great examples of short and effective messages, drawing new patrons in with proclamations of their favorite beer brands. These types of window signage are affordable and easy for new businesses to install. Watch out for any services that offer these options for exorbitant fees. See what to avoid by checking out the four most expensive signs in the world.
1. Atlanta Road Signs
Wonder why some states charge insane tax rates and why city and county organizations take so long to repair road damage? Depending on the materials and function of the road sign, they can cost upwards of $1200 to repair or replace. Think about that the next time some immature friends joke about demolishing a public sign or stealing one to decorate a room. Federal and state money is poured into maintaining these signs and cost taxpayers a pretty penny. These cost are not relegated to just the US, even countries overseas are suffering from the cost of public signage.
2. Pricy Digital Sign with No Warranty
A business owner in Petersburg, Virginia spent over $22,000 on a digital sign, but is in a legal dispute with the manufacturer regarding the warranty. After making this enormous investment, the owner is worried about the risk of having this public-facing sign hang without coverage. Natural elements, theft, and vandalism are just some of the dangers this expensive sign may face.
3. Kentucky's Highway Warning Signs
Motorists traveling down the KY 79 are out of luck, losing a high-priced solar powered sign to thieves. With a cost of over $1000, the replacement is a sheet with printed text, without illumination.
4. The Harmon City Center, Nevada
In an unfortunate chain of events, the $275 million hotel and entertainment center project was dropped and is scheduled for demolition. With new signage ablaze across the glossy exterior of The Harmon's skyscraper, a local artist was compelled to call it "the world's most expensive sign." A series of construction issues and defects ground progress to a halt, as a lack of steel reinforcement puts the City Center at risk for collapse.

LAUREL HILL — Lauren Gordon plans to attend Northwest Florida State College in the falland earn a degree in psychology.
And the accomplished student and athlete will have a little help to pay for her education.
True leader
Gordon is the president of Laurel Hill School's senior class and Fellowship of Christian Athletes group, she's the school's Beta Club vice president and is active in the Leadership Club.
On top of it all, she balanced playing varsity sports and work while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average.
And for such achievements, the 18-year-old has earned the city's $1,000 scholarship.
The honor comes as no surprise to Gordon's supervisor at work, Red Raspberry and Boutique owner Donna Howard.
"(She is) one of the best things here at the Red Raspberry," Howard said. "She is dependable ... very eager to work."
Tough separation
Gordon, who was this year's Homecoming Queen and has enjoyed playing varsity softball, volleyball and speaking at school functions, has been a Hobo since the seventh grade.
She anticipates her future, but moving on will be tough, she said.
"I'm really going to miss the whole experience of being at Laurel Hill School," she said. "Everyone is just so close ... they are more than just teachers; they are more like friends and family members."
Attending college close by will allow her to stay involved with LHS and speak at future FCA events, she said.
An inspiration
The teenager, who regularly attends Christ Family Church, credits her father, David, and her Christian faith as keys to her success.
"Everyone has obstacles in life," she said. "You can't do it by yourself; it is God that helps you."
Her deep faith is one of the many traits that make Lauren an amazing individual, David said.
"I know people will take that with a grain of salt since I am her father," he said.
"She has definitely inspired me."

Facebook bans breastfeeding
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Gadgets
Like most social networking websites, Facebook has rules against posting naked pictures of yourself (or anyone else). It's a good rule -- mostly because it keeps pornographers from creating fictitious profiles just to promote their websites (and let's be honest, even if we're friends, I probably don't want to see you naked).
But where's the line?
The site has recently come under fire for removing pictures of breastfeeding mothers, and banning users on the grounds that they'd uploaded "obscene content" to their profiles. In response, nearly 7,500 users have joined a group on the site called "Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!"
The company has responded by saying that they aren't removing photos of breastfeeding, but merely anything that shows an exposed breast (which violates their Terms of Use).
However, many mothers say they've had photos removed in which no breast was exposed -- leading many to wonder about the site's real intentions. Others who have been banned for posting breastfeeding photos have been told by Facebook that their accounts won't be re-instated under any condition -- even though the photos have been removed from their profiles.
All this, when it's been established time and again that breastfeeding in public is legal, and companies that discriminate against breastfeeding mothers are routinely fined for doing so. I have a feeling that -- if push comes to shove -- this may eventually get the site in some hot water (as well it should).

Again, my guess is that if Maggie Gyllenhal (spelling, wow) had her lingerie photos uploaded to her facebook account, no one would give a rat's patoot. Ah, the joys of our society and their double standards!

Want to see my "obscene" breastfeeding pic on Facebook? Of course you do! Haha! http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=569942343
That is one of my new baby son's first breastfeeding sessions - he was a little ticked at all the paparazzi apparently!

I am not for or against the relationship of babies and breasts in public... I just do not care. If I am not involved, I am not interested. That said, I have questions and comments not tainted with bias (see first sentence, this paragraph).
First, is Facebook a government run "tax supported" operation, or is it private "for profit" business?
Second, are these Facebook breast-feeding events real time, or do they reflect history?
Third, did the removable of the "feeding events" from Facebook cause any kids to go hungry?
Fourth, did the mommies posting their boobies and babies on Facebook agree to the terms of use?
I thought the breast-feeding law allowed women unfettered opportunity to execute their biological imperative as needed; thereby avoiding the judgmental negatives of arbitrary discrimination by those infected with too much prejudice and too little tolerance. That is the law; it is right, and if it bothers you, put a towel over your head.
However, the application of any law, no matter how many past ills addressed, cannot extend beyond its letter and intent, and to try, lessens its effect and simply makes you look dumb, disagreeable, or both.
To complain about Facebook's removal of your protected feeding event pictures appears to be a step beyond the intent of the law with no real support. If Facebook is removing your pictures and closing account wrongly, organizing against such action may be the right thing to do, but only to address those specific actions, which are not relative to the actual breast-feeding.
There is a big difference between sticking your boob in your kid's face, and sticking a picture of you feeding your kid in "my" kid's face. If I refuse to allow the latter, it has no effect on the former... right? I am relatively confident the law does not address a right to gain attention through photographs of infant nourishment, public or private.
Is this not so much about public breast-feeding as it is about the want to advertise it, or possibly the need to do whatever one wants while forgetting under virtually all circumstances, your right to swing your arm ends abruptly at mine.

Great one mamaloo :D
Here's mine;

Why is it that only breastfeeding mamas only fight to keep breastfeeding breasts unsexual? They only fight the fight for themselves and all those other tramps need to cover up. How is that fair? ALL female breasts should be made to be unsexual. I think ALL females should have the right to go topless every now and then. Right?
9-08-2007 @ 12:37PMDaMoKi Bob said...
Thank you...
In relation to your comments as to why bare breasts cannot be considered unsexual?
You are trying to apply the right of moms' who wish to feed their kids freely to cover your wish to feed your need to expose your breasts freely with no reaction, and no judgment. Have you a history of bad reactions exposing yours? The worst logic ever is to apply a single example as a "general rule". Do you expect all women have bad reactions? Not true of course!
You are being judgmental toward women who dress in a provocative manner (as defined by who? You?), or men who admire and appreciate the female form mostly due to their biological imperative stacked (not so punny) upon a heavy dose of cultural influence.
Un-sexual breasts... why? I would "really" like to know why you want to alter the result of evolution: physical, emotional, cultural, social, and of course advertising. I do not ask with any intent to be disrespectful, on the contrary, I am willing and eager to see what and why you think as you do, and what you expect to accomplish.
You must know your proposal has the same chance to affect change as a dog lifting his leg against a title wave. Oh, you may, if you make this a "life dedication" cause, create opportunities for women to strut sans cover, but, there is a small probability – surely lost among sub-atomic components of string theory – men would devolve to a neutral, some would say neutered, state in which breasts lose their intrinsic sexual appeal: a reality of which most women are bluntly aware.
Nevertheless, in the end, I want you to know with part of your proposal you are certainly not alone. I for one will support, and stand behind women who on occasion … oooh, it's so hard, I can't bare to say it… but, you can figure it out, can't you?
Initially, and at times ultimately, the secondary and primary sex characteristics affect attraction between individuals. It would be great – and I admit some do – if we initially found attraction to the character content of others. To ask lactating mommies to shoulder that load is shouting against the darkness.

I think you should be able to show your breast as long as it's done tastefully, and it's not Britney or Paris oh sorry those are crouch shots girls.
9-09-2007 @ 11:11AMJoy said...
I'm just kind of wondering WHY anyone would want a pic like that in a public forum to begin with????
9-09-2007 @ 3:27PMDaMoKi Bob said...
What's wrong with the picture? If you don't like it, don't look at it! It is not obscene, not illegal, and not your decision. Like the stork says about bringing pickle's to a restaurant, "It's perfectly natural!" Have you "looked" at a public beach, Sears' catalogue, or daytime TV lately?
Et si oculus tuus scandalizat te erue eum et proice abs te bonum tibi est unoculum in vitam intrare quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis. (Google Matthew 18:9.)
If you read the 45+ comments on the ParentDish blog "Breast-feeding mom takes on Applebee's" you will find "sooo" many people saying about the same thing.
Hey, I'm a guy; I like women, I like curves, and heck, I like milk, but except for my "holy-moly!" reaction to any physical oddity, I found nothing particularly stimulating or attractive about it.
Would you rather see a "3B" nursing mother: in a Burka, in a Bathroom, with a Blanket over them? If anything, that would be objectionable.
It is ironic to juxtapose your apparent implication regarding the picture posting judgment, against your judgment about its posting… as manifested in your question. However, to answer that question… I don't know.
My question to you is, why not?

I for one am not interested in watching anyone "PARENT" in public, that includes, but is not limited to, discipling your children in public, breastfeeding in public, demanding or expecting special accomodation because you have kids, etc. I am a single female adult, who has chosen not to have children, and I don't display acts of my single, childfree lifestyle in public, so why are mothers permitted to display acts of their motherhood in public. Would I get away with it if I strolled around in public wearing nothing but sexy lingerie, I doubt it. Would I get away with displaying acts of sexuality in public, I doubt it, these are all parts of my single lifestyle, why am I not allowed to freely act out my lifestyle in public, but mothers are? Simply because you allowed a man's sperm to penetrate your womb and get you knocked up and I took precautions to prevent it from entering my womb, doesn't give you the right to force your lifestyle on me. If I have to sit in a mall or a doctors office and watch your tits hang out and dangle over a babies mouth, then you and your kids should be forced to sit in the doctors office and the mall and watch my tits hang out and dangle in the mouth of some hot rich stud. fair is fair! Being a mother does not entitle you to any special rights in society. You think you can get away with anything because you proclaim it's in the name of motherhood. I protest. I too am a female, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander...so if you can let your tits hang out, so can I.

Why would lactivists want their breast feeding instructions shown on a porn site?
Just type in breast, f--- or anything else and you can view and hear porn - this IS permitted by facebook.

Having breast fed two children myself, and encouraged many other new moms to choose breast over bottle, I totally agree that restaurants and public places should allow a mother to breast feed her hungry child. How this same argument can be applied to facebook is puzzling. One has nothing to do with the other.
Breast feeding in public serves a purpose: your baby is hungry and needs to eat, regardless of where you are at the moment. Posting pics of breast feeding after the baby has already eaten doesn't serve any necessity to the baby. I'm not saying these pics are obsene - I'm just saying websites are not doing any dis-service to the baby (or mom) by not allowing these pics. Nobody's going hungry over this policy. I don't think they should be using the word "obscene" and they should re-think the extreme penalty (ie. banning the user from the site - perhaps just a notification that the content is not permitted on their site with a warning that a repeat would result in closure of the account should be sufficient)
Public places that do not allow babies to eat when they are hungry are doing a huge disservice. Facebook's policy does nothing of the sort. Let's keep things in perspective here.

My opinion on this whole Facebook breastfeeding ridiculousness...
I am a breastfeeding mother. I have done a lot in my life, but the 2 things I am most proud of are giving birth and breastfeeding. I can only speak from my personal experience, but for me, breastfeeding is an incredibly beautiful experience in bonding and nurturing. This image epitomizes the love I feel for my child and the my identity as a mother - new person I have become. By posting breastfeeding images on facebook (none of which show nipple or areola), I am attempting to share with family and friends both near and far this wonderful view into my life. As a mother my body has taken on a completely new meaning as I recognize the purpose it has beyond the sexual. I feel beautiful and confident in ways I never have before. This is the new me. This is my new life. Many people post photos on facebook to illustrate ideas of identity and goings on in their lives. Many of these photos are emotionally charged. My breastfeeding photos are posted to express this emotion. I also post them out of support for breastfeeding because it is undervalued in North American society. Just take a look at sad breastfeeding stats - we need to create a supportive breastfeeding culture. I'm sure that most of the other women that have posted BF photos feel very similarly.
There is nothing obscene about breastfeeding. If there are people out there too immature to handle or accept it, then don't look. It's that simple.

This is all a result of the American obsession with sex and the sexualization of everything. Why is this such a "non-issue" in Europe? Personally, I think we Americans need to *grow up* and stop trying to control and regulate *everything* beyond what is actually bad or harmful.
9-30-2007 @ 3:27PMEthel said...
I think DaMokiBob had some great points earlier. I don't really feel that Facebook has any obligation to allow pictures of nursing moms. HOWEVER . . .
I also don't feel that supporters of nursing have any obligation to keep quiet. Facebook may have a right to remove nursing pictures, but we have a right to respond to this socially inappropriate action. We have a right to make this policy inconvenient for them. If we make things inconvenient enough, Facebook may decide that this is a bad business decision and may change its policy.
We also have good reason to react to this policy. This is actually very pertinent to the right to nurse in public. While Facebook is not directly impacting our children's ability to eat, they *are* impacting our culture and people's attitudes by making it more difficult to normalize what should be considered a normal, healthy behavior. They are making it easier for people to consider breastfeeding a bad thing that should be hidden away. These attitudes, in turn, *do* make it more difficult for mothers to feed our children, and also discourage future mothers from choosing the healthiest way to feed their children. A mother who equates visibly breastfeeding with pornography (because she knows sites that disallow porn also disallow nursing pictures) will feel less comfortable nursing, especially in public.
So I do think this is a valid breastfeeding rights issue - possibly not a legal issue (I wouldn't know), but definitely a related social issue. Civil rights issues don't stop with enforcing the law, they need to change the attitudes that allowed discrimination to be legal in the first place. And yes, breastfeeding is a civil rights issue. It may not be as big as other civil rights issues like racism (it could be seen as a branch of feminism), but it does impact the rights of members of our society and, by impacting them, impacts our entire society and our economy (i.e., through working nursing moms and infant health care costs).

Tie your tubes just to be safe. I hate the thought of a sub-human moron like yourself accidentally breeding and exposing us to your flawed genetics, or exposing an innocent child to your flawed parenting. Children are not annoyances to be tolerated; they are little people who need disciplining, "special accomodations," and yes, nutrients, while out in public. I can feed my infant daughter without anything dangling, as you soooo eloquently put it. I don't like feeding her in public but if she is hungry, so be it. Her comfort is more important than my comfort or modesty. Clearly, your comfort or lack thereof with breastfeeding is about the least important thing on the planet to a breastfeeding mom. So you go play with your boy toy of the month in a mindless and forgettable fashion (can you say slut?), but keep your mouth shut around those of us actually doing something with our lives ... growing and nurturing the next generation. Maybe your sad little unused womb is the true force driving your obnoxious post.

This is not an Auburn vs Alabama thing nor is it a black vs white thing. This is a tragedy thing. It is a good vs evil thing and hopefully, the young men who lost their lives were spiritually ready when their lives so quickly ended. Prayers of strength go to their families, their fellow students and the entire Auburn community.
Make beautiful sculptures out of each of the trunks; something specifically designed for Auburn's campus. They did this in Biloxi, MS with damaged palm trees after the hurricane. The Toomer's trees would forever be enjoyed by everyone on campus.
Remember the brick through the window of Curry's house when he coached bamer? Seems as if Partlow and Brice are appropriated located near UA campus!
$1500 is not much to pay for a BCS ticket but perhaps for trailer dwellers it is. Last year tickets were $2,500 and up outside the stadium after the game had begun and there were but a handful. Aubies were offered thousands to sell their tickets but held on to them to watch their tigers win the National Championship as being THE ONLY UNDEFEATED team in the nation. The only reason so many tide fans are in New Orleans is that it's an easy bus ticket from tuscalooser. If by chance bamer wins, it still will NOT be an undefeated team but only second best.
This story sickens me to the core. Really? The article states that Harvey Updyke is popular among many bama fans who beg for his autograph? What happened to the separation of bama nation from this horrible creature? This is so sick and distasteful on so many levels, apalling to level headed people who appreciate higher education offered at both highly reputable universities, use our time on earth to help unite people, not separate, and work to save our environment, not kill it out of ignorance and rage. I urge all graduates and fans of UA to respond to this article with disdain and demand this reporter not print this type of filth for the world to see. Without publicity, this creep of a creature Updyke will fade into the background. Unfortunately, with this article the door is now open for the entire world to view what bama has been denying all along, its separation of Updyke and state.
Because we just got back from Arizona! Can you say National Champions?
If Auburn wants to put up 10 statues it is really for Auburn to decide. Scarbinsky, who are you to even comment on this issue? Not your business buddy, nor is it anyone else's business. Auburn is a very well respected university, both on and off the field; just ask many university bound students who do not have the entrance requirements to be accepted at AU, unlike the campus across the state. Not a slam, just stating facts. Auburn celebrated with the Tiger Walk many years before Alabama began the elephant walk, we first introduced Aubie as our mascot long before Big Al. What does this prove? Nothing. What Auburn does is for Auburn. Perhaps Alabama is so use to being in the spotlight that they have become a bit narcissistic? Hmmm...food for thought...perhaps TIGER MEAT!
Well, one anyway! It's located down 280 in God's Country and is known as The Loveliest Village on the Plains for a reason. Anyone who has never been has seriously missed out on enlightenment! War Damn Eagle!

Watch Justin Timberlake Perform "Mirrors" on "Fallon", Plus a Barbershop Rendition of "SexyBack"
"Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" is hosting a full week of Justin Timberlake. Last night was his second appearance, and he performed "Mirrors". Timberlake, Fallon, and his Ragtime Gals also sang "SexyBack" as a barbershop group, complete with suggestive winks and period-appropriate dancing. Watch both below.
If you hadn't had your fill of Timberlake on TV, Vulture also reports that on March 19, The 20/20 Experience's official release date, Timberlake will participate in an hour-long CW special, elegantly titled Target Presents the iHeartRadio Album Release Party With Justin Timberlake. Among performances and interviews, Timberlake will premiere a new video on the show.
Below, also check out Timberlake's "Saturday Night Live" dress rehearsal performance of "Mirrors", featuring a cameo from Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Bill Hader (standing in for Martin Short) as The Three Amigos.
"SexyBack" (Barbershop-style):
Fallon…. for an entire week….OMG!!
Following his "SNL" appearance, the crooner will do a full week's worth of performances and "chatting" with Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" during the week of March 11 to 15. Might we see another history of rap on the show? We'll have to wait and see.
"His visit will mark the first time any featured artist has appeared in every show during a single week!" he said.
These appearances all lead up to the release of his latest solo album, "The 20/20 Experience," dropping March 19 after Timberlake's hiatus from music since 2006 to focus on his acting career.
The former NSYNC frontman made his highly anticipated return to the Grammy Awards stage earlier this month with Jay-Z, who is featured on Timberlake's comeback single "Suit & Tie." The two are reportedly in talks to co-headline a stadium tour this summer, according to Pop & Hiss.
Shortly after the Grammys, he released "Mirrors," another song from the album, and then performed the single for eager fans at the Brit Awards in London on Wednesday.
Timberlake married longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel in Italy in October 2012 and we get a glimpse of their wedded bliss in his "Suit & Tie" music video when she pops up to light his cigarette.

I have already written before that having emerged victorious from the Cold War, Europe lost the post-war peace. The continent is on the verge of strategic degradation that may either become a caricature of military-political division into opposing blocs or a time of disquieting uncertainty. The military-political conflict over Ukraine can escalate as well.
In Search of an Order
For those who believe in the magic of numbers, the year 2014 was further proof in its existence. The World War I centenary had been anticipated in awe and History, by taking another dramatic twist, confirmed the worst of expectations. It pronounced that centuries-old conflicts are still with us and that such concepts as the balance of powers, borders, and sovereignty are still relevant even in the era of a global interdependence.
The west is without direction and losing sight of moral convictions, writes Sergey Karaganov
In a pre-election article published a little over two years ago, Vladimir Putin wrote that Russia wanted to harness the Chinese wind for its sails of development. Every sailor knows that in stormy weather, and the world is a stormy place today, controlling a sailing ship is incredibly difficult. But by working skilfully there is a chance of inching one's goal much faster.
Stephen Sackur asks one of President Putin's influential former advisors about the next stage of Russia's apparent neo-imperialist foreign policy after developments in Crimea.
Anatol Lieven has published a brilliant essay that should be read and absorbed by everyone who wishes to understand what is happening in and around Ukraine today. I quote it with thanks to the author for permission to do so.
I'm confused. A few weeks ago we were told in the West that people occupying government buildings in Ukraine was a very good thing. These people, we were told by our political leaders and elite media commentators, were 'pro-democracy protestors'.
A couple of days ago in Washington, a former high-level U.S. government official mentioned to me that if a civil war breaks out in Ukraine, it would follow not the Bosnian scenario, but the Spanish one.
Historically important moments occur unexpectedly. Events that do not seem crucial by themselves can become turning points. The Ukrainian conflict which started as a result of Kiev's refusal to sign the European Union Association Agreement – a technical 400-page legal document – nearly brought about the disintegration of the Ukrainian state while precipitating a grand international crisis.
EU calls me 'Putin's chief propagandist', yet in Russia journalists are free to tackle difficult issues without fear of state sanction

Thank you, everyone, for commenting. I welcome your responses whether you agree with me or not. The purpose of my blog is to help our region live up to it's potential. I'm certainly not proposing our urban area impose its will on our more rural areas.
I would like for my children & grandchildren to stay in our Birmingham area.
As best I understand, SMSA is determined by the % of people from outlying counties who work in the core business areas (Birmingham-Hoover). About 50% of the working people in St. Clair & Shelby County work in Jefferson County. If Jefferson County fails, a lot of people would be put out of work in the surrounding areas.
jce, I live in Vestavia. The purpose of this blog to begin a conversation on how our segmented/dysfunctional governments are holding us back. There is no single political office holder who can make a difference. The Mayor of Birmingham only represents 19% of our metro population. You might consider reading my overview. http://www.thecomebacktown.com/2012/01/10/our-government-structure-is-killing-us/
Thank you everyone for your comments. The purpose of this blog is to create a discussion on why our Birmingham region has not been competitive with our Southern peer cities. I contend that it's all about government structure. We have 37 municipalities in Jefferson County & no home rule. Charlotte, Nashville, & Jacksonville are exploding while we wither. Please consider signing up for our newsletter at http://www.thecomebacktown.com/enewsletter-sign-up/ and join in the conversation. If Birmingham & Jefferson County die--so will all of us in the suburbs
Chuckbiddinger, thanks for your thoughts. I would like to think that the situation is not hopeless and that we wiill go down together? I want to be optimistic and think we can find some kind of way to make our region succeed>
au55, thanks for your comments. I am not making judgment on the occupational tax. I am just saying in my opinion it would be best to give the commission authority to do their work and then hold them accountable. If they do a poor job, then don't vote for them next time. With the current government structure, we can't hold anyone accountable.
Chuck, thanks for your insightful post. You gave us additional perspective. Please continue to help us move the conversation forward for better government.
Homewooder, what a great reply. Thanks for looking forward rather than backwards.
imnotbflat, I'm not a reporter. I'm just a citizen like you trying to start a conversation on how we might improve government.
Dear CareaboutCTS, Thank you for your thoughtful comments. You gave some insights I had never thought about before. Please consider joining our newsletter http://www.thecomebacktown.com/enewsletter-sign-up/ and encourage others to do so.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts, opinions, and recommendations. The goal of the ComebackTown.com is to begin a conversation to develop better government. If I thought government in our area was ideal, there would be no need for the conversation.
However, just because things have not been good in the past, I don't think we should just give up. Hence the name "Comeback town."
Let's identify our problems, generate solutions, and move forward.
There's no rule that says that if you've failed in the past you are destined to always fail.

Many of the troops that come to Camp Friedlander return summer after summer because of the wide variety of activities. We understand that younger Scouts and older Scouts like to engage in different things and the camp program is built to offer exciting opportunities for every age.
While Merit Badge instruction is the core of the camp program, there's plenty more going on. Open program area times allow Scouts to explore a new interest, campwide games challenge patrols to compete against each other, and the Order of the Arrow holds events every night of camp. Your week of camp will be jam-packed with fun and new experiences -- check out some of the great things waiting for you at Camp Friedlander.
Again for 2015, Trailblazer will be a half-day program!
A boy's first summer camp experience is a pivotal time in his Scouting career. Boys who reach the rank of First Class within their first year as a Scout are more likely to stay in Scouting and will quickly be on their way to filling leadership roles in the troop.
The Camp Friedlander Trailblazer program gives first-year campers a jump-start towards their first rank advancements of Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class. We pride ourselves on having the most effective first-year-camper program around. The knowledgeable staff and many outdoor resources available at Camp Friedlander teach Scouts the skills they need to meet requirements while giving them hands-on experience.
There's plenty more going on throughout the week at Camp Friedlander. Check out all the great activities and programs we have planned for Scouts and adults...
An important leadership position in every troop is the Chaplain Aide. These Scouts help lead troop religious services and insure a tone of reverence is kept at troop functions. Chaplain Aides will be trained by our camp Chaplain to help them take their position to its full potential.
Returning in 2015! The half-day Trail Crew program will provide participants the opportunity to learn trail-building techniques while working on requirements for related merit badges such as Soil & Water Conservation and Landscape Architecture. Participants will also receive a specialy designed water bottle to remember their experience. Due to the nature of work performed and the tools that will be used, participants will need to be 14 years old or older.
Now in its fifth year, the ACE program offers Scouts who have been to camp for a few years the opportunity to enjoy some of the most exciting summer camp activites around while maintianing time to work on advancement and merit badges.
Project COPE, or Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience, is an activity operated for Scouts over the age of 13, comprised of group initiatives, team building, problem solving, and physical challenge. The goals of COPE include the development of trust, communication, self-esteem, leadership, planning, problem solving, decision-making, and teamwork.
Not many camps in the Midwest can say they offer scuba and snorkeling classes. Scouts looking for a new challenge, preparing for a trip to Sea Base, or who just have an interest in underwater adventures will be thrilled by the scuba and snorkeling programs at Camp Friedlander. A local certified scuba diving group, taking advantage of the skills and equipment they have available, provides the Snorkeling BSA and the Scuba BSA program.

Annoyed Portland business owner plans 'anti-anti-abortion' rally
PORTLAND — Despite a storm that dumped 10 inches of snow on the city the night before, anti-abortion demonstrators were out in force along Congress Street Friday morning, Dec. 28 – as they have been every Friday since the summer.
They expect to be back this week, too, when a downtown business owner hopes to stage a counter-demonstration of his own.
Last Friday, about a dozen members of Pro-Life Mission of Maine stood outside the Portland clinic of Planned Parenthood, at 443 Congress St. Most held signs showing aborted fetuses. Some recited prayers or sang hymns. A couple of children handed out tracts.
The clinic, which offers a range of reproductive health care, provides abortion services on Fridays.
Nearby stood Mike Fink, a pawnbroker whose shop, Guitar Grave, is next door and who also owns a restaurant a few yards away. Fink said he is organizing what he calls an "anti-anti-abortion" rally for Friday, Jan 4.
Although Fink supports the availability of abortion, he said the reason for his rally is not the demonstrators' beliefs, but their tactics.
"They're getting in people's faces," he said. "I used to enjoy walking to work on Friday, but not anymore."
According to Fink, the demonstrators sometimes shout at people entering or leaving the clinic, as well as pedestrians on their way to neighboring businesses or just passing by.
"These stupid people are deliberately trying to be confrontational," he said in a letter. "... They do not understand that they are aggravating and insulting people and they are not promoting their views in an appropriate place and time."
Pro-Life Mission organizer Donna Hebert said her group's members limit themselves to handing out pamphlets and explaining that there are alternatives to abortion.
"Many of us have walked in the shoes (of Planned Parenthood clients)," she said.
While the protesters last week were all from her group, according to Hebert, she said she couldn't vouch for the behavior of other groups and individuals that sometimes join the demonstrations.
She emphasized that Pro-Life Mission members were standing on the public sidewalk, and said they were careful not to overstep the threshold to the clinic, where a Planned Parenthood volunteer and an off-duty police officer were stationed.
"(The demonstrators) are on their best behavior because you're here," the volunteer told a reporter.
While not crossing the threshold, demonstrators have overstepped boundaries in other ways, according to Megan Hannan, director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.
"They've followed people down the sidewalk, yelling at them," she said. "Things have gotten out of hand. It makes our patients angry, and it makes other people in the building angry."
Anti-abortion activists have photographed clinic staff and volunteers, Hannan said, and posted the images online.
She said they've also photographed patients in the clinic's waiting room through its second-floor windows, prompting the clinic to close the window blinds.
"A health-care provider shouldn't have to shut its windows," Hannan said. "We want to keep the blinds open."
Hebert acknowledged that her group's members sometimes have tried to "communicate" by words or gestures through the windows.
Planned Parenthood moved to the Congress Street office more than a year ago, and the demonstrations began this summer. After that, the clinic hired the off-duty police officer to provide security at the entrance.
While there have been no threats of violence against the clinic, the demonstrations raise that fear, Hannan said.
"The reality is, there are people out there who want to kill Planned Parenthood people," she said.
Fink said he has seen confrontations that "could have incited violence" and noted that the demonstrator turnout is usually larger – and more vocal – than it was Friday.
"I'm surprised (violence) hasn't happened already," he said.
Fink attended a Dec. 19 meeting with Mayor Michael Brennan, other city officials and the building's owner to explore possible solutions to the situation, including the creation of a protest-free "buffer zone" around the clinic entrance.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Maine has been monitoring the protests and wants to be included in discussions about setting buffer-zone limits, Executive Director Shenna Bellows said on the organization's Facebook page.
She said city officials need to "tread carefully" to make sure that the rights of the protesters and the clinic's clients are protected.
Another building tenant, the Portland Regional Chamber, recently held a meeting with neighbors that were concerned about the rights of businesses.
"While we very much value freedom of speech, the universal sentiment was that (businesses) are being disturbed," PRC Chief Executive Officer Godfrey Wood said. (Wood is married to Karen Wood, publisher of The Forecaster.)
The demonstrations "send a perception of danger" that discourages pedestrians from the block, while disrupting businesses, he said.
"People in our office have said, 'I just can't concentrate' (because of the noise)," Wood said. "That's not right."
Meanwhile, Fink is proceeding with plans for his rally on Friday. He's asking people to carry signs and honk car horns to show their opposition to the anti-abortion demonstrations.
Hebert said she's unfazed by the reaction.
"We're here on a rescue mission," she said. "We would be here with or without the hype."

Cacao avocado mousse with maple macadamia topping
This lush, creamy, dark chocolate treat is full of nutritious energy. It's so rich you only need a few bites and for a chocolate fix, it does the job very well. I thought a maple nut crunch sprinkled over the top would be a nice contrast to the deeply dark chocolate.
I used raw cacao powder but you could always use baking cocoa instead.
Recipe for cacao avocado mousse with maple macadamia topping:
2 medium sized, just ripe, good avocados, chopped
Heaped 1/2 cup raw cacao powder or baking cocoa
90mls agave nectar (or to taste)
1/2 tspn vanilla bean paste or 1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
A small handful macadamia nut halves
Organic maple syrup
Preheat oven to 160C (150C fan forced).
Toss macadamia nuts with a decent drizzle of maple syrup until combined and covered well, then place in single layer on baking paper lined baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool and harden.
Place mousse ingredients in food processor and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Spoon into dishes and refrigerate until firm.
Roughly chop cooled, hardened nuts and maple syrup. Sprinkle nutty topping over mousse and serve either at room temperature or cold from the fridge (I prefer room temp).
Serves: 2

Emma-I'm amazed at the chocolate mousse ingredients. I can see that it is made from cocoa powder, and vanilla, but avocado?…wow! how genius, and I'm wondering how it alters the taste of the chocolate. I can see the velvety smoothness of the mousse, looks delicious…so it must be!
June 6, 2012
looks wonderful
June 8, 2012
This looks so good. I haven't tried maple syrup with chocolate before or avocado mousse! It sounds like a really interesting pudding.
July 6, 2012
I've been wanting to try chocolate mousse made with avocado for some time now. I just tried avocado in a chocolate dessert for the first time, and I couldn't taste it at all, so now I'm quite sure I'll like this. I love that you made it extra dark!
Amy permalinkNovember 1, 2012
So delicious! You would have no idea there is avocado in this recipe!

On the last day of 2012, the U.S. Department of Transportation levied fines against two airlines that kept passengers stranded on delayed flights -- Virgin America and Copa Airlines.
That pushed the number of violations issued against airlines in 2012 to a record 49 violations totaling $3.6-million in fines.
According to a department spokesman, of those 49 violations, four were violations of the so-called tarmac delay rules.
The other two airlines fined for that violation were Pakistan Airlines and Jetblue.

I have a huge collection of 6x6 negatives and slides, most of them outdated product shots; I discarded hundreds, but in between were shots of studio setups and people on site which I liked to keep.
I placed negatives and slides on a cheap lightbox and photographed them with a canon A1200 in macro mode - a really low-end point-and-shoot, but the results were surprisingly acceptable.
The autofocus went nuts, so I used a simple clamp fixture to keep the camera in position and shot about 250 repros. Not High-end, but it did the job in "no" time.
If you have no ligtbox, a pane of glass from a picture frame with a sheet of semi-transparent paper will do.
For "post-processing", Picasa did a very decent job.

By Kathleen T. RhemAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 13, 2003 Three suicide bombings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 12 were a "well-planned terrorist attack," Secretary of State Colin Powell said today while touring some of the damaged areas.
Speaking in Indiana, President Bush called the attacks "the ruthless murder of American citizens."
Suicide bombers attacked three residential areas with high concentrations of Americans and other Westerners at about 11 p.m. local time, shortly before Powell arrived in the city for a scheduled visit. Press reports put the death toll at 29, including nine terrorists, with nearly 200 others injured in the blasts.
Powell originally said there were 10 Americans killed in the attacks. Later, he said "maybe a little less." He added that he would leave official announcements to the Saudi Information Ministry.
During his visit to one of the blast sites, the secretary said the attacks have "all the fingerprints" of an al Qaeda operation.
"This is criminality, terrorism at its worst, and there is no justification for it in any way, shape, fashion or form," Powell said.
He assured reporters that the events of the previous day will only serve to steel America's resolve to "go after this type of terrorism and roll it up." He said American and Saudi officials will continue to work closely to target terrorists' finances, information and intelligence systems.
"This is why the president has said that (fighting terrorism) has to be a No. 1 priority, not only for the United States but for the civilized world, so that things like this cannot continue to happen," the secretary said.
During a speech on the economy at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, Bush said the United States is facing a challenge in protecting its citizens from terrorism.
"(The) attacks in Saudi Arabia, the ruthless murder of American citizens and other citizens remind us that the war on terror continues," he said today as he expressed sympathy for those injured and for the families of those killed.
"These despicable acts were committed by killers whose only faith is hate," Bush said, adding that the United States will find the killers.
"And they will learn the meaning of American justice," he said to strong and extended applause.
The cheers and shouts continued as Bush said, "Anytime anybody attacks our homeland, anytime anybody attacks our fellow citizens, we'll be on the hunt, and we'll find them, and they will be brought to justice.
"Just ask the Taliban."
The president said officials estimate operations in Afghanistan brought about the deaths of about half of al Qaeda's senior operatives. The other half is on the run.
"We will be patient and we'll be relentless, because that is our obligation to future generations of Americans," Bush said, "an obligation which says that we must work hard to make sure people can grow up in freedom and peace in this country."
He said liberating the people of Iraq was another battle in the war on terrorism. "Thanks to our United States military and coalition forces, America is now more secure," the president said. "The world will be more peaceful, and the Iraqi people are free."
The American military's next task is securing and rebuilding Iraq. "A free Iraq will make the world more peaceful. Because you see, when people are free, they're less likely to promote terrorism," Bush said. "When people are free, they're more likely to work to realize their aspirations in a positive way.
"Freedom around the world will bring peace," he added. "And that's why America stands so strong for free people everywhere across this globe."

Halloween is coming up fast and it's time to do some serious decorating. Orange and black are blanketing stores from left to right, making it tempting to go out and buy some of those compelling decorations. However, there are things you can make that are just as cute and way less expensive using those famous Halloween colors. Like making giant candy corns. All they are made of are paper, glue, and a few other materials. They can enhance any table display, and give the house a bright Halloween feel. Click below to print out the candy corn template to begin your next craft.
- Construction paper
- Tissue paper (light & dark orange, yellow, white)
- Crepe Paper Streamers (orange, yellow, white)
- Scissors
- Mod podge
- Glue
- Ribbon
- Candy corn template (Please note: this template was used for the base of an ice cream cone and it will work for a candy corn. The image is kind of small so you may have to enlarge it a litte).
DIRECTIONS for LARGE CANDY CORN:
- Download and print two of the candy corn (ice cream cone) templates and glue or staple them together to make a large cone.
- Cut out a piece of tissue paper big enough to cover the mouth of the cone. Cut a strand of ribbon to your desired hanging length. Poke a hole in the the center of the tissue paper and stick the ribbon through the hole. Then, knot the ribbon that end of the ribbon that you just pulled through the slit and glue the tissue paper around the edges of the cone.
- Cut out small and medium sized pieces of yelloow, orange and white tissue paper.
- Mod podge the yellow tissue paper around the bottom part (the widest part) of the cone, taking up about two inches. Do the same for the other colors, with the orange taking up three inches and the white taking up the remainder of the cone.
- Let it dry. Then, decorate!
- Print out the candy corn template once, and staple or glue it together.
- Cut long strips of streamers. Cut the streamers into 3 foot long strips.
- Take the yellow streamer, and fold it in half. Cut little slits about half way through the streamer to create a fringed look when you open it up. Continue this process for all of the streamers. (Make sure to cut the side where the edges meet, not the folded side.)
- Cut the yellow strip into sections to make it easier to glue. Take a strip and glue it around the bottom of the cone. Fluff out the fringes.
- Continue this process with the yellow taking up the bottom two inches of the cone, the orange strips taking up three inches, and the white taking up the remainder of the cone.
- Repeat for more candy corns.

Interview + MP3 + Video: Swedish Punks Masshysteri Proclaim Love for Chuck Berry, Touring
The Swedish punk band Masshysteri, which is in the middle of a one-month trek through the U.S., is playing The Wedge tomorrow, March 31. (Read Jason Toon's critic's pick here..)
I called up guitarist and singer Robert Petterson to ask about the tour thus far. Luckily, he was sitting in a van in traffic in Texas somewhere and welcomed the distraction. Petterson, 29, has been to the U.S. before, playing in superb acts, The Vicious and in the Regulations.
Konstantin Sergeyev Masshysteri photographed on their current tour. Petterson is on the far left.
Courtesy of the band, here's an MP3: "Hatkarlek" (click "Save As" to download), which translates to "Love-Hate."
How has the reception been thus far?
It's been really good. It's really cool to be able to come over here and sing in Swedish.
Why does Masshysteri sing in Swedish, when your previous bands have sung in English?
It was during The Vicious tour [in 2007] I started thinking about singing in Swedish instead. When English is not my native language -- I can just pretend to sing in English -- I can pull out all the cliches. It can feel all right, but it's not really from the heart. It feels better now too. Less people understand the lyrics, but it's a lot more honest. The feelings are really close to me and to us, and more honest. I might write a song in English, but for now we'll continue [to] write in sing in Swedish.
Well I came here with the Regulations and the Vicious. It's not really the same -- maybe a little bit different, but I think like this better. This time around it feels like we can play in front of a crowd and surprise people, kind of.
Can you describe the scene in your home city of Umea? It's been described as incestuous because many bands share members.
Right now it's a great scene. We have great places to play and they have a lot of good bands and shows are really fun. There's a lot of healthy competition going in some ways, because people are there are a lot of good bands and people want to keep making good music. There are a lot of artists and stuff too. it's a cultural city a college town with a lot of young people.
Hjerstop is also touring the States soon. What is your relationship with them?
They're awesome. We live kind of far away from them. [For their tour] they're on some huge three-month long tour, and we just did a month.
What can fans expect from your live show here in St. Louis?
I've never thought about it like about that. It's not as hardcore [as Regulations], there are a lot more melodies. Sometimes [there is a mosh pit] anyway.
A running joke in St. Louis is for fans to yell "two more and a cover" at the end of a touring band's set. What covers are you working into your set this tour?
We cover "Johnny B. Goode" sometimes and people start diving during the song. It's funny.
You know Chuck Berry is from St. Louis?
[Laughs] Yes, now we have to play that I guess.
Can you describe your sound in three words?
It's about love, death and rebellion.
Have you seen American fans singing along in Swedish?
Yes and I love it. It's amazing. No [they don't get he words right]. Some people sing along to whole songs and I love it.
Do you have any limited records on this tour?
No, there was some kind of color vinyl, but it's sold out.
Who are a few of your favorite, currently playing U.S. bands?
Roky Erickson [laughs], Government Warning was good, the Germs [laughs]. Pissed Jeans. I've seen them three times and they are amazing.
Which U.S. city has had the best food on tour thus far?
Gotta be New York. We had a lot of vegan food and they have like vegan cakes and stuff. I guess they have that in almost every city, but in New York they were everywhere.
Which U.S. city has shown the most hospitality?
Almost every city so far.
Aww. that's sweet. Which city has had the largest show?
Richmond [Virginia] and New York. There were 200 people at the show in Richmond, and it was awesome. We have a lot of friends there from before.
You were in St. Louis last with the Regulations in 2005. What do you remember about that show?
I think it was at a skate park. That was like, that could have been the last show of the six-week U.S. tour, we were all very tired. [Masshysteri] will be better this time.
Masshysteri appear on March 31 with Rundown, Maximum Effort and Glass Teeth. $9 under 21, $6 over 21. 8 p.m. The Wedge, 442 Bates Street, St. Louis.

i must say, i was a skeptic because of all the gossip behind this place. everyone said the food was great but i had mixed messages about the service. but fortunately i checked it out and am glad i did. the lady who served us was apparently the owner or manager, but she was kind, funny, whitty and generous. her description of the foods were precise and mouthwatering!! i could tell she was a cook herself. she did not hesitate to bring us samples when we could not decide on what type of rice to choose from. the restuarant it self is a sight to see. the food portion was huge, fresh and perfect. i have never had kobideh this good. the fillet mignon was juicy and tender. all u could taste was the quality meat. it was not covered up with any spices or marinades that took away from or over welmed the flavor. i ordereed the Soltani which was the most expensive dish on the menue @ $19.55 but for the portion of fillet mignon and the 1 lb ground chuck kabob all the rice... it was a bargain. i pigged out and actually finished the entire plate, but that is a feat not everyone can accomplish!! so for the average joe or jane, count on plenty of left overs! at the end of the meal, we were so stuffed we could not even move, but our server brought us a pot of hot fresh brewed tea "on the house". she said it will help the digestion and wake us up which it did. this is my first time writing a review and i do this not only for the food but more for the service. she deserves recognition for her genuine attitude! good luck Amoo's, i will refer u to everyone!

The food at this place is ridiculously good. I've eaten a lot of kabab in my life, but nothing like this. Especially the barg kabab (sirloin). The ambiance isn't going to put this place on Zagat's most romantic, but if you want kabab, this is the place.
Posted by Brandon on 04/12/2008
I went here once with my dad and i loved it and have been back many times since. It is my favorit place to eat. everything there is delicious. the first time i went i was expecting the kabobs to be small and thought the $8 for kobedeh was exdpensive but than my plate came out with the meat sticking off both sides of my plate and wioth the mountain of rice i couldnt beleave it. I definatly recomend it
Posted by zack on 11/26/2007
i have to warn every one to be careful when you start eating. my friends have bitten their own tongue and almost choked because the food is soooo good, its hazardous ! definitly worth the drive and the money. it's pricier than Moby but so is Fudruckers when compared to McDonalds. they seem to keep improving and that's a wonder because their food has always been great. i don't know how they do it , but the rice is unlike any other and they have a bunch of different options like the Zeresh polo which is awsome. its a sweet saffron rice mixed with a kind of tangy berry. their kabobs are all good and they serve their authentic dishes all day. they recently have added some soups and appatizers. the Ash is a great soup for the chilly days ahead. just try them and you'll never go any where else. the only problem is the bread. i wish they made them fresh on the premises. but all in all its great!!
Posted by anna on 11/10/2007
the best kabob ever.... so juicy so well prepared. thanks you so much guys .... i LOVE your food.
Posted by Brent on 05/04/2007
Sometimes great food comes in unlikely packages. Amoo's isn't much to look at but the kabobs are absolutely wonderful. Our family especially likes the chicken dishes. Because its location was a bit awkward to pull into, we didn't try this resteraunt for over a year ... even though we lived within a mile. After trying it once, we keep going back again and again. I expect you will enjoy it as well.
Posted by Nick on 02/05/2007
After eating at so many kabob stores such as shamshiri,moby dick, friends, and the kabob store in the mall right when your plate comes in you will know exactly the price gives you much more than what you paid for. They provide you with more rice and just about twice the amount of meat you would get at moby dick. This is an unknown kabob store due to its location yet trust me the drive is well worth it. I recommend the chicken sultani as the kubedah is amazing and huge along with the chicken being delicious. Anyone should make the trip just to see exactly how good it is.
