The Qadariyya, Mutazila, and Shîa
The Qadariyya, Mutazila, and Shîa
The Qadariyya, Mutazila, and Shîa
These three groups are essentially one and the same in several of their fundamental tenets of doctrine, especially in their annullment of the reality of the Divine Attributes apart from the Essence and their rejection of the Divine foreordainment (al-qadar) of evil as well as good on the rational grounds that Allah cannot but will good in effect setting up as many co-creators for evil as there are rational beings.
The Prophet (s) said: Talk about foreordained destiny is for the worst of my Community at the end of time.[1] Al-Suyuti succintly defined Qadari doctrine as the claim that evil is created by human beings.[2] Ibn Abi Yala relates the following description of the Qadariyya: They are those who claim that they possess in full the capacity to act (al-istitâa), free will (al-mashîa), and effective power (al-qudra). They consider that they hold in their grasp the ability to do good and evil, avoid harm and obtain benefit, obey and disobey, and be guided or misguided. They claim that human beings retain full initiative, without any prior status within the will of Allah for their acts, nor even in His knowledge of them. Their doctrine is similar to that of Zoroastrians and Christians. It is the very root of heresy.[3]
The Qadariyya or Libertarians are little different from the rationalists known as the Mutazila or Isolationists. Both are traced back to the same founders: Amr ibn Ubayd Abu Uthman al-Basri (d. ~144) who left al-Hasan al-Basris teaching circle and isolated himself, and Mabad al-Juhani (d. 80) the first who spoke about qadar in al-Basra.[4] Al-Dhahabi introduces the former as the ascetic (al-zâhid), the devout (al-âbid), the Qadari, the elder of the Mutazila and the first of them.[5] However, the name of Qadariyya highlights the doctrine of qadar, while the name of Mutazila refers to the broader Five Principles tawhîd, adl, thawâb, îmân, and amr bi al-marûf which al-Ashari and al-Maturidi refuted in whole and in detail in many of their books. Following is a survey of these Five Principles integral to Mutazili doctrine:[6]
1. In the chapter of tawhîd, the Mutazila and the Shia in their wake held that Allah cannot be seen at all, whether in the world or on the Day of Resurrection as that would necessitate corporeality and direction for Him. In contrast, Ahl al-Sunna held that Allah will most certainly be seen by the believers on the Day of Resurrection without our specifying how. Al-Ashari authored several refutations of the Mutazili and Shii view, and early Hanbalis considered that the belief that Allah will not be seen on the Day of Resurrection entails kufr.[7] Furthermore, the Mutazila and the Shia in their wake held that the Attributes are none other than the Essence, otherwise, they claimed, there would be a multiplicity of Pre-eternal Entities (qudamâ); therefore, to them, the Quran is created and both they and the Shiis deny the reality and pre-existence of the Attribute of Divine Speech. The vast majority of the early Muslims including Ahl al-Bayt reject this fallacious reasoning as summed up by Imam Malik: The Quran is the Speech of Allah, the Speech of Allah comes from Him, and nothing created comes from Allah Most High.[8] Similarly al-Tahawi said of the Quran in his Creed of Abu Hanifa and his Companions known as the Aqida Tahawiyya: It is not created like the speech of creatures. This is the position of the totality of the Salaf including the Four Imams and their immediate colleagues, in addition to Sufyan al-Thawri, Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak, al-Awzai, Jafar ibn Muhammad , Abu Jafar al-Tabari, Dawud ibn Khalaf, Zayd ibn Ali and others of Ahl al-Bayt, Ishaq ibn Rahuyah, al-Bukhari and his 1,000 shaykhs by his own verbatim report in Khalq Afal al-Ibad, and countless others of the pious Predecessors.[9] Dr. Said al-Buti wrote:

Expectations Of Supervision
Successful supervision is an intentional process that requires thoughtfulness, skills, and willingness to learn from our mistakes. All supervisors have their own work duties in addition to their supervisory responsibilities. Successful supervisors balance their supervisory and other work responsibilities. Managers have a huge impact on their employees' quality of work life. Often, employees' work relationships with their supervisors make the difference between employees staying in or leaving a position.
The on-campus Supervisory Leadership Development Program promotes four key areas of responsibility and skill development for supervisors:
- Managing Self
- Managing Others
- Managing the Work
- Managing the System
Let's explore them one at a time.
Managing Self
It is crucial to understand your own work style: Linda Marchesani, Director, Workplace Learning & Development
To successfully manage others, we must understand ourselves. We can not successfully manage others if we are unable or unwilling to manage our selves. We will not do it all perfectly, all the time. We all have strengths and areas that challenge us. Managing Self includes acting as a role model for others and developing our skills in several areas:
Self-Awareness And Integration of Self and Role
- Understand your own work style preferences.
- Recognize and work comfortably with their own and others' work style preferences.
- Be aware of your own values.
- Recognize other people's different values and work well with them.
- Understand your role in the larger environment.
Does all work need to be done one way? We all have work style preferences. If supervisors and employees can agree on the desired end result, then letting employees take the lead in completing the task, while keeping to University policies and procedures, can often make for more productive employees and workplaces.
Effective Communication
- Consistently and clearly communicate expectations.
- Listen effectively.
- Provide clear feedback.
- Notice and attend to non-verbal communication.
- Adapt your personal communication style to fit a variety of situations.
- Match the most appropriate method of communication to your message.
Understands the Importance of Diversity
- Understand your own social identities and how they impact your work as a supervisor.
- Understands the different types of social diversity that exist in the workplace.
- Interact effectively with people who have different social identities.
What is your experience with working in a diverse workplace?
Managing Others
Supervisors are responsible for overseeing the human, financial and material resources of the University. As a supervisor you are obligated to maintain the highest standards of performance for yourself and your staff. Every supervisor is responsible for establishing and supporting a work environment that recognizes every employee's dignity and worth and that encourages collaboration, innovation, and quality work.
Managers do this by:
Creating and Maintaining a Respectful Workplace
- Knowing the components of an open, accepting and respectful work environment.
- Assessing the current climate of trust, respect and inclusiveness in your work environment.
- Identifying steps to create a more respectful workplace.
- Effectively supervising people with different social identities.
We are all responsible for supporting a respectful workplace. Supervisors have an even greater responsibility for maintaining a respectful workplace, as supervisors are responsible for overseeing and enforcing workplace rules. Supervisors need to address inappropriate behavior as soon as it occurs. You can make it easier by working with staff to establish guidelines for respectful behavior, educating new employees about the guidelines, and consistently enforcing both your workplace guidelines and the University's policies.

Conducting Performance Management
- Understands your role and function in performance management.
- Know the cycle of performance management.
- Write effective goals.
- Coach employees and provide feedback for performance improvement.
- Recognize employees contributions.
- Use University forms for performance evaluation and development.
Performance management is more than filling out a performance review once a year. Effective and meaningful performance management promotes ongoing communication between a supervisor and employee, which establishes plans and criteria for success, as well as identifying successes and areas for improvement. More Resources: Performance Management and Performance Management and Evaluation.
Encouraging Teamwork and Work towards Conflict Resolution
- Encourage effective teamwork.
- Understands basic methods of resolving conflicts within the workplace.
- De-escalate situations before they become crises.
- Help resolve conflicts.
- Gather appropriate input and/or participation from people involved in a conflict.
- Makes decisions as needed to resolve the conflict.
Managing Inappropriate Behavior
- Know the standards and expectations of appropriate workplace behavior.
- Identify inappropriate behavior in the workplace.
- Consistently and fairly address inappropriate behavior and seek help when needed.
Managing the Work
We are all here to get a job done, serving the University's larger mission. The University can not operate without it's employees and as a supervisor, you have a special role in managing and supporting your area's work. This is accomplished by:
Resource and Budget Management
- Make the most of your available resources.
- Organize and prioritize resources to meet changing work demands.
- Understand the University budgeting and accounting system and how it relates to your area budget.
- Organize your own work and time to be able to meet needs of the staff and the organization.
Learn about University budgeting and accounting.
Goal Setting
- Educate employees about how their roles serve the mission of the department, division and the University.
- Develop relevant goals for your team and individual employees.
- Develop work plans that meet desired goals.
- Establish measures of performance as appropriate.
Delegation and Coordination
- Know your employees' job descriptions.
- Understand the basics processes of employees' work.
- Effectively delegate work to employees.
- Monitor and evaluate the employees' successful completion of the work.
- Work collaboratively with others to analyze and improve work processes.
How have you delegated work in the past? What has helped you delegate work successfully? Delegating of work can help employees develop their skills by allowing them to take on new projects. Done well, delegating can be a win-win situation for everyone.
Managing The System
Managers are responsible for learning and knowing the University's systems. Although you do not need to know every part of the University, you should become familiar with the systems that are relevant to your area and its work. You can do this by:
Understanding Legal Issues and Campus Policies
- Know the campus policies relevant to your position.
- Implement campus policies appropriate to your position.
- Seek assistance regarding campus policies when needed.
How to get the best from your employees
Video: Catherine Porter, Ombudsperson
Practicing Risk Management
- Understanding basic risk management procedures.
- Recognize when something is beyond your responsibility or expertise and seeks appropriate help.
Definitions: General Risk Assessment Considerations
Risk type: Risk of danger to the employee or other members of the University community.
- Operating equipment while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Credibly threatening or attacking other employees or other community members.
- Condoning or allowing a hostile work environment (harassment).
- Consistent failure to follow safety guidelines
Risk type: Risk of danger to the University due to legal liability or damage to its reputation.
- Condoning or allowing a hostile work environment.
- Not upholding federal or state legal mandates.
- Not acting in compliance with applicable labor agreements.
- Failure to take appropriate action to take action to enforce safety standards
Risk type: Risk of damage to the workplace or University property.
- Knowledge of and application of safety practices.
- Following accounting and money handling guidelines.
- Securing workplaces to avoid theft of property.
- Not taking appropriate steps to assure accurate reporting of time.
Steps to take to address the above situations:
- Discuss with own supervisor and personnel staff.
- Take immediate steps to avoid immediate danger.
- Investigate as much as possible.
- Consider employee's work history.
- Create complete documentation of events as soon as possible.
- Follow contracts and policies.
- Apply progressive discipline if needed.
- Check with Campus Resources
Campus Resources
- Human Resources, Labor Relations – 545-2736
- Treasure's Office, Risk Management & Insurance -587-2055
- Office of the General Counsel,Legal Counsel – 545-2204
Understanding the dynamics of supervising in a unionized environment
- Access the union contracts and follow the expectations for your position.
- Know how to practice progressive discipline.
- Understand the basics of the grievance process.
As a supervisor in a unionized environment, you should remember that supervisors and employees must adhere to the provisions of their respective collective bargaining agreements - their union contracts. Even though you may also be a unionized employee, when you are acting as a supervisor, you are an agent of the University.
Go back to strengths you listed at the beginning.
- How well do your strengths match the information above?
- What additional strengths do you bring to supervising?
- And in which areas might you want to grow and improve?

White Cuckold, White Slut Wife, Brainy Black Bulls Pt 3
Written by Nudemodel / Oct 2, 2008
WHITE CUCKOLD, WHITE SLUT WIFE, BRAINY BLACK BULLS Pt 3 By Nudemodel
It was my first full night as a naked filthy sissy white cuckold for a new filthy white slut wife and eight masculine athletic superior black bulls. I had been an inferior black owned naked filthy white animal for the sexual pleasure and amusement of superior Afro-Americans, Africans, and Afro-Caribbean?s for many years.
All of these superior black African-Americans, black Africans, and black Caribbeans belonged to an organization founded in New Orleans in the 1950s called Negroes Subjugating Caucasians. Most of them were members of a more aggressive modern offshoot of Negroes Subjugating Caucasians called Blacks Crushing Whites.
Like all of their naked inferior white breeding sows and inferior white cuckolds, I was thankful to have been put in my inferior white racial place by superior blacks.
Now for years I had been thrilled with being a mindless naked Caucasian animal for the sexual gratification and worldly amusement of dominating superior black people. I never had a problem with their superior black rights to my naked inferior white flesh and anatomy and their superior black rights to restrict my good-for-nothing inferior white liberty to talk.
My new filthy white slut-wife Peggy, who was a debased white breeding sow for eight superior black bulls, slept naked with me in the same bed. We inferior whites were required to be always totally naked to advertise our reduction to Caucasian animal status while on the farm property. The only and rare exception was when a pressing need compelled a superior black man, woman, boy, or girl to temporarily permit our black-owned white asses to be garbed. Otherwise we exhibited ourselves as black owned naked Caucasian animals.
The black bull masters who controlled us were part of an organization of black bulls. They had the same rules for their naked inferior white breeding sows and cuckolds. When we slept, our bedroom doors were always open. This was for the convenience of any black bulls who came 24/7 at all hours to breed with the white breeding sows or to use her and my subjugated black owned naked white asses for sexual gratification and fun.
This white breeding sow had bred ten dark-skinned and patently African-looking boys and girls. All of them had been legally classified as racially black.
As we naked subjugated inferior whites were required to do with all superior black men, women, boys, or girls, we addressed the white breeding sow's black-bred children as "Superior Black Sir" or "Superior Black Ma'am." Five of the white breeding sow's black-bred boys and girls were now over eighteen, two superior black boys and three superior black girls.
As had been the case with my first black-subjugated white slut-wife years earlier, I had no sex with this new white slut-wife. Sex with her was only for her eight handsome, muscular, and virile black bulls and any superior black males and females they invited. I only licked her cunt and asshole clean after they had fucked her or fucked her in the ass. And I French-kissed and licked out her mouth and lips after they had fucked her in her sex-organ mouth and throat.
I now took female hormones and used lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, and nail polish to appear more emasculated and effeminate like the masculine black bulls wanted their naked white sissy cuckold. Usually after having been fucked sometimes twenty times by virile black bulls, the filthy white breeding sow was all fucked out and was not open to any more sex.
On this particular day the filthy white breeding sow's eight superior black bulls had fucked her a total of twelve times the previous night.
She had, of course, licked all eight of their superior black assholes clean before they had begun fucking her. This sexually aroused both the black bulls and her. Like me, she got sexual thrills and fulfillment from the humiliation, repugnance, and literal distaste of licking superior black assholes clean.
As her white cuckold, I always licked-out her white asshole while she was licking the eight black bulls' superior black assholes clean. This turned her on and got her sexual juices flowing. Then I watched while the black bulls fucked her in the cunt to breed and in the mouth and ass for their rightful superior black sexual excitement and fun.
Now the superior black bulls had gone on their way. We two naked inferior whites stood for a second looking at each other's bare bodies.
We both knew that we were black-subjugated mindless white sex-meat and were both pleased with it. We craved to be naked filthy white bitches to serve superior black men, women, boys, and girls. We loved the dirtiness and self-disgust of licking superior black assholes clean. We craved to atone for slavery and white racism by sexually serving and sexually servicing superior blacks.
Her black-bred children were all dark-skinned and appeared African. In a white-dominated society accustomed to seeing and regarding people with even minimal black ancestry as black, they were seen and regarded as racially black. There was no question that my naked white breeding-sow wife and I had to worship her superior black boys and girls as our superior black authority figures and masters.
They were not only dark-skinned and African-looking, but they regarded themselves as superior blacks. And the black bulls made sure that they knew they were superior and dominant black masters of black-subjugated inferior whites like my naked slut-wife and me.
We knew that we had to flaunt our white inferiority and degeneracy by disreputably and subordinately exhibiting our naked white bodies to them all day and all night.
So that night my naked white slut wife rolled over to face me on the bed. We had not yet talked about her superior black-bred children. She wanted to make sure I understood my place. We talked in low whispers because we did not have superior black permission to talk.
"I am pleased that the superior black bulls want us to serve my superior black boys and girls by presenting ourselves to them as sluttish naked and subjugated specimens of our inferior and degenerate white race," she told me.
"I am, too. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the superior black race by exhibiting myself as a stripped-naked inferior filthy white animal," I replied.
"I am glad to hear that," she told me.
"I came here as a black-subjugated white-boy bitch and pleased with my inferior white place," I said.
"My three older superior black girls, Tonya, Cameo, and Georgia, made the previous filthy white-boy cuckold lick their superior shitty black assholes clean every morning," the naked white breeding sow told me. "He, of course, loved being their naked asshole-licking filthy white sex-pig. They also made spending money by pimping him out as an asshole-licking filthy white hoe to black women and girls."
"One of the black bulls told me about that," I said. "I'll love licking your superior black daughters' superior black assholes clean every morning and being their naked filthy white sex-pig, too." And I was indeed looking forward to getting the smooth flesh of their young superior black buttocks around my older inferior white face and my mouth and tongue on their unwashed superior black assholes and licking them clean.
She gave me a knowing smirk. "I knew you were the type. I am, too. I love to lick the black bulls' assholes clean every day when they come here to use me for breeding and fun," she said. "It turns me on to turn them on that dirty way."
She rolled over on her side and went back to sleep. No black bulls came in to use her for breeding and sexual sport any more that night.
Peggy and I got up the next morning and walked out through the open bedroom door naked. I started to get into the new routine of being a middle-age filthy white-boy cuckold husband as well as naked white slut and mindless white whore to her superior black kids.
Peggy went out into the kitchen naked, and I followed naked. She began to make breakfast for her superior black boys and girls as she always did. Now, however, she had me to help. The work of it went faster.
The superior black boys and girls were getting up. They got dressed in stylish clothes and hurried to get their faces washed and their teeth brushed.
They were ready about the time that Peggy and I set the table and had their breakfasts ready.
Naked Peggy's superior black daughters Tonya, Cameo, and Georgia came into the room dressed in stylish expensive clothes and sat on one side of the table. Her superior black sons Dwayne and Travis also wore expensive designer clothes and sat across from them.
The five younger superior black boys and girls, an eight-year-old boy Brandon, a seven-year-old girl Kiki, a six-year-old boy Keon, a five-year-old boy Lance, and a four-year-old girl Melanie, sat around a different table that was round in shape.
None of them paid much attention to their naked mother Peggy. She was nothing new to them. But I was. And all of the superior black boys and girls, both the older group and the younger group, gave me cute contemptuous smiles and nods while glancing at my penis and gonads.
It felt stimulating to be compelled to present my debased naked white slut body to the well-dressed superior black boys and girls as a subjugated specimen of the degenerate inferior white race. All of them sat around the tables decently dressed and conscious of their black domination over us two naked slavish white animals who had been seen by all of them, either in porn or live, licking-out and tongue-fucking black assholes.
"Did you sleep well, naked white-boy bitch?" the spiffily dressed eight-year-old superior black boy Brandon asked. I knew that even though I was a naked middle-aged white man, I was a naked white-boy bitch to the superior black boys and girls.
"Yes, Superior Black Sir," I answered submissively and respectfully while he shot a contemptuous smirk at my dangling small white cock and balls.
Other than that and a few similar comments and snide glances, the superior black boys and girls ignored naked Peggy and me and exchanged chatter about things in their lives. When they were done with breakfast Peggy and I cleared the tables and washed the dishes.
The five younger superior black children then went out and caught a van that took them to a special private school that the black bulls had set up for them.
That left the five older superior black boys and girls, all of them now at least eighteen. Today was, in fact, an eighteenth birthday for the youngest of them, Georgia. Later in the day several black bulls would take the older superior black boys and girls to a birthday picnic at a private park.
Right now, though, they had just finished breakfast and Peggy and I were standing around naked after having finished washing the dishes.
"We're going over to breed with your former white slut wife now, white boy," Dwayne told me.
The black bulls had told me that the older superior black boys had become black bulls for my former wife. It was completely okay with me. "Have a good time, Superior Black Sir," I said.
"See you two filthy naked white sex-pigs later," Travis said as they headed down the front steps toward their new German-made sports car.
Georgia shot me a grin. After her mother had told me last night that the previous filthy white cuckold had licked out the superior black girls' unwashed assholes every morning, I was looking forward to it. If the superior black young women wanted to continue that routine with me, I would be grateful for her superior black ass in my white face and my subjugated Caucasian tongue licking-out her unwashed black asshole. I gave Georgia a shrug.
She stuck her tongue out at me to mock my degradation and black owned subjugation and saucily sauntered over to me with a coy smirk. She wrapped her hot little ebony hand around my black owned white cock and balls and began fondling them.
"Hello, naked filthy white-boy Daddy," she said in a taunting tone. "You have my superior black permission to use your sex-organ mouth speak to us this morning."
"Thank you, Superior Black Ma'am, and hello, Georgia, Superior Black Ma'am," I said while she manipulated cock and balls in her hand. "Happy Eighteenth Birthday, Superior Black Ma'am."
"Thank you, asshole-mouth filthy whiteboy Daddy," the teenage black girl told me. "You like licking-out shitty superior black assholes, don't you, filthy white-boy bitch?"
"Yes, Superior Black Ma'am," I answered while she fondled my sex-organs.
"We know that you were a black owned filthy white hoe licking shitty superior black assholes clean for all-black sex parties in Germany," she told me while looking me in the face with a contemptuous smirk and continuing to fondle in my crotch. "Were they shitty superior American black assholes?"
"No, Superior Black Ma'am," I told the arrogant teenage black girl. "Only one or two were superior American black assholes, Superior Black Ma'am. The rest were superior black girls and women from Bahamas, Jamaica, Trinidad, Haiti, Congo, Togo, Nigeria, South Africa, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Ghana, Angola, and some other African places I can't remember, Superior Black Ma'am."
"Which of those superior black assholes had the best shitty taste and flavor, filthy asshole-mouth white-boy hoe? The African, Caribbean, American?"
I knew how I should answer the arrogant superior black girl. One of the black bulls had advised me to be polite and say "American" if a superior American black person asked me. Especially since I didn't actually know which superior black assholes had the best taste.
"American, Superior Black Ma'am," I said. "American superior black assholes have the best disgusting taste and flavor, Superior Black Ma'am." She shot me a dirty satisfied sneer.
"Good answer, shit-tongue Daddy. Okay, it's affirmative action time now, naked filthy white-boy Daddy. You're going to lick my fine shit-tasting superior Black American asshole clean now and every morning, filthy whiteboy bitch," she told me with a sarcastic tug at my cock and balls.
"Thank you, Superior Black Ma'am," I said while my slut-wife's superior black daughter fondled my black owned sex-organs. "I am grateful and looking forward to it, Superior Black Ma'am." And I was indeed grateful. I looked forward to licking her and her sisters' superior black assholes clean at any time. And I knew that my new filth white slut wife felt exactly the same way about licking her black bulls' assholes clean whenever she could.
Georgia raised her dress and slipped her panties down. I quickly and admiringly looked over the sexy round ebony flesh of her superior black ass. I was anxious to get my inferior what face into it and begin licking her black asshole clean. Naked white Peggy looked on with a dull, approving expression as I knelt behind the eighteen-year-old superior black girl. She understood my lust to get my mouth and tongue on superior unwashed black anal flesh because she felt the same lust for her superior black bulls' unwashed black anal flesh.
Georgia's two superior black sisters exchanged winks and smiles with her.
"Thank you for allowing me the privilege of licking your superior black asshole clean, Superior Black Ma'am," I told Georgia as I lustfully looked over the smooth flesh of her two shapely bare superior black buttocks.
Then I pressed my white face between her black buttocks and began licking around her unwashed black asshole. After several licks around her shitty anal flesh I turned my head to the side and sputtered out some distasteful dirtied saliva.
"Just lick my superior black asshole until you know it's clean, naked filthy-mouth whiteboy hoe," she told me as I pressed my face between her black buttocks again.
I licked around it and sputtered out spit several more times. I did not immediately tell her when I had licked it clean. Instead I wanted the pleasure of sticking my tongue into her asshole and tongue-fucking it several times. When I had done this, I backed my white face out of her superior black ass.
"Your superior black asshole is now licked clean, Superior Black Ma'am," I said.
She took a step forward and pulled up her panties. Her sister Cameo then stepped over, pulled down her panties, and raised her dress. I looked admiringly and lustfully at her superior black ass.
She backed her shapely black buttocks into my white face. I eagerly pressed my inferior white face into her superior black ass, licked around her black asshole three times, sputtered out dirtied spit, licked around her asshole again, and sputtered out dirtied saliva again. I did this several times. Then she stepped away.
The last superior black sister, Tonya, was waiting. She already had her panties and jeans down and held her dress up. I eagerly crawled over to get behind her black ass and was glad that these three superior black sisters had this routine.
Tonya shoved her bare black ass into my face. I loved the feeling of the smooth flesh of her superior black ass surrounding my inferior white face. I got my tongue on her superior black asshole, licked around it, sputtered out dirties spit, licked around it again, and sputtered out my dirtied saliva again. I did that several times until her superior black asshole was clean.
I relished my subjugation to the three superior black girls' black supremacy and power. I savored my filthy humiliating white oral activity in the superior black asses of the three dominant black girls made clear to me as well as to everyone who was there.
Tonya moved her black ass out of my white face, pulled up her panties, and smoothed down her dress. I remained kneeling in case she or the other two superior black girls might want me to lick-out or tongue-fuck their assholes some more.
"You may stand up now, asshole-mouth filthy whiteboy Daddy," Georgia told me.
"Thank you, Superior Black Ma'am," I responded as I stood up.
"You're going to enjoy licking our shitty superior black assholes clean every morning, aren't you, asshole-mouth white-boy?" Cameo asked me with a sneer.
"Yes, Superior Black Ma'am," I answered honestly.
"Will you feel good about licking our superior black assholes clean to make up for slavery and white racism, ass-face whiteboy?" Tonya asked me.
"Yes, Superior Black Ma'am," I answered honestly. "I am grateful for the opportunity to lick your superior black assholes clean to atone for slavery and white racism, Superior Black Ma'am.
"Okay, we want you and the filthy white breeding sow to kiss now," Georgia told us two naked whites. "Deep French kisses."
The naked white slut wife stepped over to me. We embraced and kissed.
All three of the black girls shot me appropriate sneers and shot glances at our naked white flesh. But then they turned and ignored the naked white breeding sow and me. My white slut wife and I stopped kissing.
"Okay asshole-mouth white animals, stand with your sex-organ mouths open and holding your black owned white asses," Georgia told us. "And you do not have our superior black permission to speak until we tell you to."
Peggy and I stood with our hands on our bare white asses and with our mouths open. The three black girls got out their iPods and began messaging their boyfriends. They were sexually stimulated from my active tongue on and in their superior black assholes and clearly were having fun with their messaging.
"What did you text to the hoe?" Georgia asked Cameo.
"To try not to use any toilet paper before she comes here," Cameo grinned and snickered.
"Oh, I texted her that yesterday," Tonya said. "And she texted back something about our naked filthy white cuckold luxuriating in the shitty taste."
The three superior black girls snickered and giggled at it and then went back to text messaging their boyfriends.
After about a half hour, a black bull brought a black male and a black whore in the front door.
"Hi girls. We're here," he said. They put away their iPods and got their video and still cameras.
The black whore stepped over to me, wrapped her ebony hand around my small white penis, and fondled it.
"I guess that these are the two naked white animals are going to make porn with us," she said.
"Yeah, we're going to shoot it out in the sunlight," Georgia said.
"The idea is to show with images and graphics that inferior white faces were created to fit snugly into superior black asses," Tonya added.
Standing there as a naked white animal while holding onto my bare white buttocks and with my Caucasian sex-organ mouth open, I felt elated that superior black Tonya had grasped what I had found out. I had often had exactly the same thought when my black owned white face had been mashed deeply into the crack between superior black buttocks. My white face did seem to fit snugly in superior black asses.
"And that inferior filthy Caucasian mouths and tongues are primarily sex-organs created to sexually excite superior black assholes and to lick them clean," Cameo said.
She shot a glance at her naked white breeding sow mother and me to see our reactions. If she would have allowed me to speak at that moment I would have told her that I agreed completely. When my filthy Caucasian mouth and tongue were licking and tongue-fucking superior black assholes I felt that they had been divinely fashioned to sexually excite superior black assholes and to lick them clean.
"We want to get the video part done before the younger kids get back from school and before our brothers get back from using the cuckold's first white slutwife's filthy Caucasian tongue as their asshole cleaner," Georgia said.
"These two naked filthy white animals begged us to let them be in the porn video," Cameo said. "They wanted to help recruit more asshole-licking filthy white pieces-of-ass to serve and sexually gratify superior blacks and breed with them."
"What we plan to start with is several views of these filthy white sex-animals' faces. Then we are going to use graphics from an online carpentry course to show V-shaped wedges fitting snugly into V-shaped openings," Tonya said.
"Then we are going to use computer graphics superimpose these two inferior white faces on the V-shaped wedges. And after that we are going to superimpose the V-shaped openings for the V-shaped wedges on bare superior black asses," Cameo said.
"That should begin to get the idea across," the shapely black whore said. "But how are you going to illustrate that their filthy Caucasian mouths and tongues were created to sexually excite superior black assholes and lick them clean?"
"Some of it is going to be voice over while we show these naked filthy white animals enjoying licking-out and tongue-fucking superior black assholes," Tonya said.
"Some of it will be testimonials from these filthy white asshole-licking animals as they take brief breaks from licking superior black assholes clean," Cameo said. "They'll say into the camera that they believe that their filthy Caucasian tongues were created to stimulate superior black assholes and to lick superior black assholes clean."
"And it is not only these two naked filthy white sex-pigs," Georgia added. "We have five other filthy white breeding sows and five other filthy white cuckolds to say that, too."
"They all volunteered," Tonya said. "They all wanted to let other filthy white pieces-of-ass know the pleasures of submitting to black superiority and using their filthy Caucasian mouths and tongues to sexually excite and clean superior black assholes as they had been divinely created to be used."
"Do you want to comment on that?" the black whore asked naked Peggy and me. "You naked white animals have my superior black permission to speak."
Cameo raised her video camera to record it, but first panned out naked white crotches to record out black owned white sex-organs. Then she moved the camera to record out facial expressions and facial identities.
"I agree with it," Peggy said to the camera and to the black whore. "I hope that the video recruits lots of new black owned asshole-licking naked filthy white sex-pigs to serve and gratify superior black people."
"Those new naked asshole-licking filthy white sex-pigs will discover their true black owned inferior Caucasian vocation in life and feel fulfilled and grateful to serve and gratify superior black people," I said to the camera and to the black whore.
Georgia looked over her naked black owned mother and then glanced at my small sissified black owned penis. "So you two naked white animals get pleasure from using your filthy Caucasian mouths and tongues to sexually excite and clean superior black assholes as they had been divinely created to be used?"
"Yes, Superior Black Ma'am," naked white Peggy answered her superior black daughter.
"Yes, Superior Black Ma'am," I said.
"And have you noticed how perfectly your black owned filthy white faces fit into superior black asses?" Tonya asked.
"Yes, Superior Black Ma'am," the naked black owned white breeding sow answered her superior black daughter. "It can hardly be an accident that our white faces fit so snugly into superior black asses."
"Yes, Superior Black Ma'am," I said. "Our inferior filthy white faces must have been designed to fit into magnificent superior black asses while we use our filthy black owned Caucasian mouths and tongues to stimulate and clean superior black assholes."
"Okay, that's enough conversation for now, naked white animals," Tonya said. "We'll let you know when you can use your filthy white sex-organ mouths and tongues to talk again."
Naked Peggy and I opened our sex-organ mouths and stood holding onto our bare black owned white buttocks again.
"We aren't going to have either of your faces in our video," Georgia told the black whore and the black male. "Just your black asses and their filthy degenerate white faces."
"So would you two project helpers now take off all your clothes below your waists," Cameo told them.
They were pros and quickly stripped below their waists.
I looked over the black whore's delicious shapely black ass. The shapely dark ebony flesh of her thirty-year-old buttocks was arousing. In spite of female hormones to make me a shemale, my cock stiffened slightly at the sight of her beautiful black ass.
I craved to get my inferior white face tightly into the crack of her superior black ass. I salivated at the thought of getting my filthy Caucasian mouth and tongue onto and into her noble superior black asshole.
"Did you get our text messages about not using tp?" Georgia asked the superior black whore.
"Yeah," the black whore answered. "It's cool."
I looked over the black whore's shapely black ass again. My filthy Caucasian mouth and tongue were about to get a luscious disgusting taste of the superior black whore's not wiped and unclean asshole. I relished the thought of submitting my filthy black owned Caucasian tongue to lick her noble superior black asshole clean and sputtering out my shit-tasting saliva as I did so.
She and the other superior black masters knew that my filthy black owned inferior Caucasian face had been divinely created to fit snugly into superior black asses. And they knew that my filthy black owned Caucasian tongue had been divinely created to sexually excite her noble superior black asshole and to lick her superior black anal flesh clean of any and all shit.
Georgia had her kneel on a couch, spread her shapely black legs apart, and bend forward to reveal her asshole and cunt better.
"The important thing as that we want to get our filthy naked white animals' facial expressions when they first lick shit off of superior black assholes. And then we want to follow it up and get their filthy white expressions while they lick all of the shit off of superior black anal flesh," Cameo told the black whore.
"Okay, I'll do my best," the black whore said. She shot me a dirty grin.
Georgia set down the video camera and tripod, inspected the lighting to make sure it was adequate, and then nodded to Cameo and Tonya.
"Okay, naked filthy white animal, lick all of the shit off of her superior black asshole while we videotape you," Tonya told me.
I was a naked inferior white animal and did not speak unless superior blacks allowed me to. So I knelt behind the black whore. I looked at her asshole. It was clear that there was shit on it.
Georgia saw it, too. She zoomed in on the black whore's asshole to capture the shit on it.
"Okay, naked filthy white animal. Your filthy Caucasian tongue was created to lick superior black assholes clean. So lick it clean now," Tonya told me.
If it had been the first time that I had ever done it, I would have balked at the copious amount of shit on her superior black asshole and what harm that might do. But I had licked thousands of shitty superior black assholes by then. It was not only completely okay, I relished and savored the gratifying distasteful disgust and dirty degradation. Moreover, I now realized that filthy tongues of inferior Caucasians had been created to lick black anal flesh of noble superior blacks clean of shit.
I eagerly moved my filthy inferior white face toward the black whore's superior black ass. I slipped my tongue out and made contact with her shitty asshole.
I sampled the bitter disgusting taste of her shit. I treasured the filthy disgust and self-disgust of its taste.
I licked my filthy inferior Caucasian tongue around her shitty superior black asshole. When I had done it several times and my saliva was getting saturated with bad tasting shit, I turned my face toward the camera and half-spit and sputtered out shit-tasting saliva.
Then I returned my filthy inferior Caucasian tongue to her superior black asshole. It was still shitty. I knew from lots of asshole-licking experience that I had to lick it again several times to adequately clean it.
Georgia continued to videotape me. Tonya and Cameo watched.
Tonya began to read a voiceover. "Evolution created filthy inferior Caucasian tongues to stimulate superior black assholes and to lick them clean of shit. The naked filthy white animal has been happily fulfilling his biological purpose and as you see has been zestfully using his black owned filthy Caucasian tongue to lick a superior black asshole clean of shit as evolution designed it to be used."
Cameo spoke up from behind the camera. "Is her superior black asshole almost licked clean of shit now, filthy naked white animal? You have my superior black permission to answer that question."
"Yes, Superior Black Ma'am. I have licked her superior black asshole completely clean now, Superior Black Ma'am," I said without turning my inferior white face out of her Superior black ass.
Tonya motioned for the black whore to stand up beside the couch. She did.
"Now we will illustrate how filthy inferior Caucasian faces were divinely designed to fit snugly into superior black asses," she said.
"Okay filthy naked white animal, squash your inferior white face deep between her meaty superior black buttocks and keep it there while you lick around her asshole."
I pressed my inferior white face deep into the black whore's superior black ass and began slowly licking around her superior black asshole. My white face felt comfortable and proper in her superior black ass. The smooth soft meaty ebony flesh of her ass cheeks fit snugly around the inferior white flesh of my face cheeks as if my inferior white face was designed to be there.
My eyelids were closed and surrounded by superior black ass flesh. But I felt the black whore's ass being pulled slightly apart.
"You see how the filthy white animal's inferior Caucasian face fits snugly into this superior black ass," I heard Tonya's voice say.
I couldn't agree more. I felt like nodding agreement, but my asshole-licking filthy white face was held in place by superior ebony ass flesh surrounding it.
I felt Tonya's hand push my head deeper between superior black buttocks.
"See how his inferior white face continues to fit snugly into her superior black ass even when it is pressed deeper between her superior black buttocks," Tonya said. "You can sense the design here."
After another minute of videotaping during which my inferior white face remained pressed deep into the black whore's superior black ass, the three superior black girls ended that scene and got ready for an almost identical one. In this one their filthy naked biological mother's inferior white face in the muscular black guy's ass.
I stood up and stepped out of the way of the videotape production and placed my hands on my inferior white buttocks and opened my sex-organ filthy shit-tasting inferior Caucasian mouth and stood and watched.

Anna Paquin is probably used to doubling up since becoming a mom to twins, and she had to do just that again at Comic Con this year, with appearances at both the True Blood and X Men Panels.
Today Anna joined stars such as Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Ellen Page, Halle Berry and Ian McKellen to talk about the upcoming movie "X Men Days Of Future Past".
Here's the Panel video:
And a few photos from the event:
I particularly like Anna in the middle there, standing on a box. She must be used to working with very tall people by now!

This post is brought to you by inspiration of a royal nature.(Source)
Oh Kate Middleton. You are fabulous. And I kind of want your life. Call me if you're willing to discuss a swap for a week or weekend or day or minute… or whatever…
But anyway, it's true. I sort of idolize her. She's elegant. She has a classic sense of fashion. She gets to travel the world. She's sporty. And, oh yeah, she's a princess.
To be honest, I'd be satisfied with just 3 of the 5. Maybe even 2 of the 5…
I'm not picky.
But anyway, as a fan of hers, I feel it necessary to say "happy belated anniversary" to her and Will. Especially since I made a point of watching the nuptials last year.
It's one of my favorite "Mon and Amy" stories. Because we got up and hit the gym at 4:00 in the morning to watch the ceremonies start and ended the day with champagne to watch all the post-wedding coverage we had already seen 3 times that day.
I mean, we were going to get up to watch anyway, might as well be doing something during, right?
This was still sort of in that period where I was getting used to the morning workout- attempting to make it at least 3 days a week and calling it a win.
Now, it's a set habit. And I'm at the gym/running no less than 4 mornings out of the week (when I work 9-6 in the office- it's always changing). Sometimes cursing happens while getting dressed (not very princess-like of me, I'm sure), but I get there.
It feels awesome to sleep in. But it feels so much better to have my workout done and out of the way. When I do get home after work, all I have to do is take off my jacket and throw myself back into the dent in my couch for the evening.
Keeping that in mind, I did a pretty standard 22 minutes on the stairmill (to achieve that Middleton booty) before retreating to the elliptical for another 16 (why not 15? who knows- I like weird numbers) and finally to the weight room to mess around with free weights and that weird hip adduction machine I've started to like so much.
There's no doubt that morning workouts are much more productive for me than evenings ones. Especially in intensity.
Which is a good thing. If I want to get in princess shape, this will surely help.
Please excuse me… now that I have that crossed off the list, I must track down a stylist to help me on my quest to become the next Kate Middleton.

A class act in every respect. I hope he has a long and happy retirement.
Maddow has about 8 viewers in Michigan. Who cares about her blather?
You're wrong about the freeze threat here. The traditional safe day for planting vegetable gardens is Memorial Day, a full month after late April. Even then it may not be safe -- we've hard hard frosts in early June several times.
You're r-e-a-l-l-ly stretching it to claim Moore's slop drew inspiration from "Fahrenheit 451," Ray Bradbury's classic novel. Moore merely swiped the famous title and engaged in wordplay, which outraged Bradbury. As Bradbury told People magazine in 2004: "No. 1, he didn't ask (permission to use the title), and, No. 2, he took it – period. Even if he did ask, what he has done is a crime."
Hi, Bernie. Kudos for keeping on top of the comments here. I have one suggestion that would GREATLY improve the online Journal site: Emulate the Free Press and use only Facebook for folks who post comments at Mlive.
Anonymity might be justified in some occasions, true, but it has turned online comments here into a swamp of fever dreams for racists, cranks, crackpots, the mentally disturbed and partisan hacks. Having people use their real names when they post comments may cut down on their numbers, but it ultimate will increase readership.
I've worked for several bosses who threw veteran workers out of their areas of expertise in order to end an atmosphere of "complacency." It NEVER worked out -- the good people resented the changes, and incompetents were promoted to levels that allowed them to create widespread chaos.
I fear the new mayor, unwittingly or not, may want good, old, dull and boring Grand Blanc to become an "exciting" community like Burton and Flint Township.
You've obviously never heard the Rabbit Lady and other people featured in "Roger & Me" talk about Moore's exploitation of them. It's all on film. Check it out ... if you dare.
Pretty good stuff -- keep up the good work Abdul.
Blake, whether it's a football game or an election, the larger number ALWAYS comes first. To state it otherwise is to confuse the reader.

How about naming names, eh? Starting with the name of the school.
Since when doesn't the Journal identify people in photos? Just wondering.
What, pray tell, is the name of the church? And why is such important information missing from this story? Have you ever heard of the "Five W's" of journalism? (FYI, they are Who, What, Where, When and Why.)
The ultra-rich leftists will do anything -- ANYTHING -- to help the less fortunate ... short of spending their own money. Providing aid to the poor is what taxpayers' money is for.
It's STILL a stupid headline.
The headline writer -- not the reporter -- is obviously an idiot who doesn't know the difference between a bathroom and a bistro.
Is there any reason the store was not identified? This is shoddy reporting.
Drill, baby, drill.
Yeah, the charge comes from the free, open and honest government of Nigeria. It probably was filed by the same Nigerian official who offers me free millions in e-mails every other day.

Far be it from me to tell you what to do… I certainly don't like it when people tell me what to do. But if you enjoy racing / music / unique experiences, you've officially got a risk-free opportunity to give Dyad a try, as the game's demo is now available on the PlayStation Store.
So play it.

2015 SQL Video Tutorials Released
I recently mentioned that I was working on a SQL tutorial video series based on my best-selling Sams Teach Yourself SQL books (and their spin-offs). Well, the videos are now online, close to 3 hours of yours truly walking you through getting started with SQL. The lessons are based on the flow and format of the SQL books, even using the same examples and sample data, and are designed to be used in conjunction with the books if so desired. The videos are on Safari Books Online and InformIT and other streaming sites.
2015 Just Wrapped Next SQL Book
It's been sixteen years since the publication of my first book on SQL, Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes. That book was met with such positive feedback that it has been updated three times, has spawned several DBMS-specific spin-off titles, has been translated more than a dozen times, and is part of the curriculum in numerous schools and colleges the world over. In all of its various flavors and iterations, this little book has helped hundreds of thousands learn the basics of SQL. And along the way it has become the best-selling SQL book of all time, a fact that is both incredibly humbling and a source of great pride.
I mentioned the DBMS-specific spin-off titles, thus far for Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL, MySQL, and MariaDB. Well, the (much delayed) 4th is on the way. Earlier today I finished reviewing the manuscript for an edition focused on Oracle PL/SQL (covering Oracle 10, 11, 12, and XE). The book page says it's out of print, but that's just because it's not yet shipping. It is available for pre-order, and I'll post a note when I have a final publication date.
Oh and I'm not done yet. I'm also wrapping a SQL video series, and I'll post more on that when I have a link to share.

new iMac worth upgrading?
View Single Post
Member Since: Oct 08, 2012
Posts: 1
I have an old iMac (20" late 2006, with 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo, upgraded to max 4 GB RAM, 250GB hard drive, OS X 10.7.5). Have been toying with the idea of upgrading to a new iMac (seems the low-end would be just as good as any for our needs). Just kind of realized I've had this for 6 years now. Still runs great, upgraded the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB a couple of years ago which gave it new life as we were getting frustrated with click/processing delays after upgrading either to 10.6 or 10.7.
I read that 10.8 is not supported on my model (although in the App Store it offers me to upgrade, haven't tried going through the purchase yet...), just wondering what else I might be missing out on? Per Craigslist looks like I can probably sell this one for $400 locally and if it's $1168 on Amazon, wouldn't be such a big jump.
Thoughts? I don't use it as much now that we have an iPad 2, two iPhone 5s (have had iPhone 4 and 3G in past as well), etc. Mostly use the iMac for managing photos, occasional emails to family with photos/videos of the kids, some Excel/Word work a few times a month, and a Fujitsu ScanSnap to manage a paperless life. Also use Quicken to manage finances. My wife may be using it more once she quits her job to stay home when we have our next child in about 6 months.
The only bother I have is sometimes it does "think" a lot when trying to work in iPhoto (while syncing pics with an iPhone, and sometimes just getting from album to album or sorting/searching), especially if I also have an Excel spreadsheet up and Mail and iTunes running.
Space is not an issue as I have an external 1 TB drive via USB as well as a 500 GB drive plugged into the Airport Express. My iPhoto and iTunes libraries are stored on the 1 TB via USB. Internet speed is fine, no complaints there.
Will a new iMac (21.5 inch) give me a big boost in performance or does the fact I keep my iPhoto and iTunes libraries on the external USB 2.0 drive have more to do with the slowness? What other gains might I get? Checked one out in the Apple Store today and the display seems very crisp, looks a lot bigger even though it's only 1.5 inches. Very fast but I realize those store display machines don't have a 30 GB photo library and a 20 GB music library. Is there much of a difference in the HD camera versus the one I have? We do use Skype or FaceTime from time to time but honestly use it on my iPhone or iPad more since they are more mobile (can go to the kids' rooms etc).
Thanks for any input!

Rated 5 out of 5�by Jackie32 I Love It!! This Denali fleece hoodie is awesome! Here are the highlights: 1. Very soft and comfortable. 2. Very warm even in temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. The hood comes in handy for when it's raining, snowing, or windy. This is important because the rain/snow/wind won't mess up your hair when I'm going out to a restaurant or running errands with my friends. 4. Lot's of pockets for storing keys, lip gloss, etc. 5. Looks great (I got black on black). Side note. The North Face jackets typically run a bit small, so definitely go up a size, especially if you usually wear a sweater or sweatshirt with your coat when it gets cold out. Also, it helps to go up a size if you've been blessed with above average-sized breasts like me LOL. January 3, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by Nana Very Warm and Comfortable This is my second jacket, only needed to buy this one for the color, The material last a long time, I've had my first jacket over 5 years and it still looks good and is warm. I love this jacket. October 7, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by gr8t2bhere "Typical" North Face Like many, many people I have a North Face Denali jacket that has been great but I always wished it had a hood as I'm not a hat person. So I was thrilled to see they finally made one with a hood. Hood is good - doesn't fall into you eyes like other coats do. Only complaint is I wish it was a little longer since the tunic sweaters are in and I hate having it hang below. The color in the Dicks online website is very misleading and not like the actual colors. I couldn't find these in any of the Dicks' stores to verify color either so I had to take my chances or do a return. Everyone is wearing North Face which would normally turn me off but the quality is good and that is hard to ignore. It is pricey but I caught a Dick's online special so that eased the pain a little. December 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nessa09 So soft Couldn't ask for a better jacket, not to heavy, not to light love it! October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lady Lyn Great jacket Great addition to my North Face clothing! Very warm without a lot of weight. April 3, 2014

Tommy Hughes is a man of few words.
The London Knights defenceman, an absolute rock on the back end, became the newest member of the New York Rangers organization Monday after inking a three-year entry-level NHL contract.
Hughes, who went unselected in the past three NHL drafts, hasn't flown under the radar only on the ice. Away from the battles in the corners, the 20-year-old Londoner goes about his business with minimal fuss.
"It's pretty crazy," said Hughes, pausing for a few seconds to collect himself while in the spotlight. "It still hasn't really sunk in yet."
The Rangers invited Hughes to their development camp last summer, but he was unable to attend because of a broken foot. New York's scouting staff has chatted with Hughes for more than a year now, talking after games as recently as a couple of weeks ago.
Contract negotiations between management and his agent, however, didn't heat up until a couple of weeks ago.
"I heard (the Rangers were ready to sign me) after Game 4 in Saginaw, so it wasn't much of a distraction," Hughes said. "It's an Original Six team, which is pretty amazing."
The stay-at-home blueliner was an OHL walk-on, graduating from the London Jr. Knights AAA major midget team for the 2009-10 season. Since, the 6-foot-2, 215-pounder has appeared in a total of 202 games in green and gold.
Over that time, Hughes has notched only four goals. Despite boasting a heavy shot, his value lives entirely in London's end.
"He blocks shots, he's fearless out there," Knights head coach Dale Hunter said. "He just kept getting better and better every year."
In the not-so-distant past, the Knights have developed a handful of pro defencemen cut from the same cloth, namely Ranger Dan Girardi and Ottawa Senator Marc Methot.
"They were like that for me when they were here, and that's what Hughesy does for us," Hunter said.
A trademark of Hughes' game is his unorthodox skating style. Though it often appears like his long strides slow him down, Hunter insists it's quite the opposite.
"He's a very good skater. He's fast. He stays in a crouch, which he should anyways, and he's strong," he said.
London Knights players signed to NHL contracts
- Tommy Hughes (New York Rangers, undrafted)
- Anthony Stolarz (Philadelphia Flyers, second round, 2012)
- Chris Tierney (San Jose Sharks, second round, 2012)
- Olli Maatta (Pittsburgh Penguins, first round, 2012)
- Scott Harrington (Pittsburgh Penguins, second round, 2011)
London Knights players drafted by NHL team but unsigned
- Justin Sefton (San Jose Sharks, third round, 2011)
- Alex Broadhurst (Chicago Blackhawks, seventh round, 2011)
- Josh Anderson (Columbus Blue Jackets, fourth round, 2012)

Updated at 1:46 p.m.
Democrats are flagging an interview Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., did Tuesday with Louisville television station WDRB in which the longtime Republican senator says the "American economy is still strong."
Lugar's quote, in more context: "The American economy is still strong, that we're making progress although it's very slow in terms of job creation, and that we still have a dollar that is the world currency and we are still selling bonds to everybody all over the world despite the S&P downgrade."
Following Standard & Poor's announcement late last week that the U.S.'s credit rating would be downgraded, the stock market has been on a roller coaster ride -- closing down more than 600 points Monday while rebounding to close up more than 400 on Tuesday.
"Dick Lugar believes the American economy is resilient and will come back from the damage done by President Obama and the Democrats. Even with the damage done, the underlying basis for the American economy is strong, and we Republicans have full faith in our free market," said Lugar political director David Willkie.
During the 2008 presidential election, Democrats blasted Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for an unfortunately timed remark along similar lines that proved damaging to his campaign. McCain said "the fundamentals of our economy are strong," in mid-September of that year, just as Lehman Brothers was collapsing and the nation's economic state reached a critical condition.
Democrats would like to see Lugar go down in the primary so that their own general election chances improve in a race against Treasurer Richard Mourdock, who has less appeal to Democrats and independents. "His remarks are nothing short of insulting to the Hoosier families who are very worried about what's happening on Wall Street and don't feel that the economy is strong," Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Shripal Shah said in a statement.
Anecdotally, it's interesting that Democrats are using this line of attack -- the president, a Democrat, is the figure voters most often held most responsible for the economy. But it illuminates the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" strategy often at work when parties try to elevate or push down a candidate in the opposing primary.

The new shop for fishingflies.
Here, in a few clicks you can buy a variety of different flies to suit your waters and fishing style.
The flies you buy will then be shipped as fast as possible directly to your home. It's simple, fast and reliable.
Shipping is now available around the world !
Dark streamers as a black zonker or a muddler, on the right, are especially deadly at night when the bigger fish feel confident to leave the deep basins and start to hunt in the shallower waters. If you want to catch the bigger trouts, that is the way to go.
Streamers can also be used daytime to fish the deep holes and backwaters but then in lighter colours.
This muddler, on the right, can imitate a big caddisfly, if you fish it as a dry fly as well as a fish if you let it sink and fish it as a wet fly. A very versatile pattern that can be tied in a lot of sizes to suit the conditions. One of my favourites for big grayling.
On the left, a nice grayling taken in northern Sweden. In the middle of the night you have a chance to come in contact with the bigger fish that use the dark hours to feed. This one wasn't an exception and took the black rabbit zonker when retrieved against the current.

Farmland Lawsuit
Class Action Notice Website
May 17, 2013 Update
Case Summary
Some hourly employees at the Milan, Missouri plant have sued Farmland. These employees contend that Farmland has failed to pay wages to its kill, cut, maintenance and shipping employees for all the time the employees spend putting on and taking off gear and equipment, sanitizing, walking to and from the production floor, and other off-the-clock work activities. These employees assert that the failure to pay these wages violates the Missouri Minimum Wage Law. These employees contend they are owed additional compensation beyond what has been paid to date. They are seeking unpaid wages and doubled damages as allowed by Missouri law for themselves and for other current and former kill, cut, maintenance and shipping employees at Farmland's Milan, Missouri plant. Farmland disputes these allegations and asserts that it properly paid its employees consistently with all applicable laws.
The Court has allowed this case to proceed as a Class Action for wages under Missouri law for current and former hourly kill, cut, maintenance and shipping employees who work or have worked at Farmland's Milan, Missouri plant at any time since April 29, 2008.
