Hekim doesn't spend extra money for the pigs feed because her husband works as a contractual chef in the nearby army camp. The leftovers in the army mess are brought by her husband and they use them as pigs feed. She says that if she had to purchase feeds for pigs, she would spend half of her money in buying the pigs feed, which would disable her to buy more piglets. With the help of her husband, she manages to raise pigs in the easiest way. She also manages to let her four kids get education in private schools and also rents paddy fields for ploughing since she doesn't own one.
With the Kiva loan, she will buy five more piglets and raise them. She wants to raise as much as she can because she is not worried about the feeds. The feeds are provided free of cost from the army mess and they are enough to feed a number of pigs. Thus, she says, "The more pigs I raise, the more profit I make."
Hekim's future plan is to own a paddy field and a plot of land for the family. She believes in her dreams and says that her husband and she will work hard to fulfill their dreams.
She also thanks WSDS and Kiva for the support and says, "God bless Kiva."
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of WSDS's effort to reach some of the most underserved parts of India's troubled northeast region, where there is very poor penetration of both formal and informal financial services. By supporting this loan, you are enabling access to finance for women living in some of India's most remote areas.
Important note about this loanDue to Indian government regulations, if you fund this loan, you will not be repaid for at least 3 years. This borrower will likely repay your loan much sooner than that, in which case, the Field Partner may re-loan your funds to help other local borrowers. We want you to be aware of this minimum 3-year waiting period and the associated risks before making a loan to Indian borrowers on Kiva. Learn More >
About WSDS-Initiate
WSDS-Initiate is an inclusive nonprofit that works with women across all tribes and minority communities in Manipur, located in the remote northeast region of India. Most organizations concentrate their work in the plains region of Manipur, but WSDS is among the very few organizations serving women in the isolated hills. Political unrest and frequent economic blockades in the area make it very difficult to provide services, resulting in Manipur having the lowest penetration of financial services in the country.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The Day Dreamer 1966

- 1/10/12
Unmistakably a Jules Bass master creation. I'd not seen this since I was a youngster.Bass creates another learning feature that is not short on talent with the likes of Burl Ives, Ray Bolger, Haley Mills, Jack Gilford and funny man Victor Borge. It was state of the art in animation when it came out in the '60's era. One can easily see and trace how impacting Bass had upon pushing animation TV onto the path enjoyed today. Manythanks to TCM for finding it and airing it. Certainly hope it can be re-aired in the future.

General Info
Naughty woman peeking at vids of men jacking off and loving every moment of it.
I think sex should be celebrated and enjoyed - not repressed.
Lately I've been watching a few vids of women masterbating - mostly to get tips and ideas (and they've prooven to be quite helpful, I must say).
My husband and I enjoy a very satisfying sex life and I enhance it and get myself juiced-up by watching your sexy videos and pictures. Thank you everyone for posting them!
Turn Ons
There's nothing like watching a man cum. Especially when it's on me! Does that make me bad? Watching a mans strong hands stroke himself to orgasm is so totally sexy.
Another big turn on are my own nips. I've been known to get off by just tugging on them.
Turn Offs
Dirty fingernails. Yuck. Dragon breath. Yuck. Selfish lovers. Double yuck.
And what is it with some of these videos on here? I mean c'mon people clean up your homes! I've seen quite a few videos of disgustingly messy bedrooms and dirty beds. Gross! If you're gunna film and show the world your stuff, for cripes sake, set the stage a bit.. clean up and straighten it up. Also I've seen two videos lately that look like they take place in some sort of hospital/institution - like the person was a resident or patient. Rubber mattress, etc. Major yuck.
Another turn off (I'm on a roll, lol) is young people on here. I mean really young. Don't worry I don't watch those videos; that's what the backbutton is for. Extreme yuck.
I'm not embarassed to admit that I enjoy watching porn. (what else would I be doing here? LOL) I rather prefer amateur videos, as opposed to the professional "beautiful people" films. Sure, those are fun too, but I can relate to the average person/couple much, much more.
Anything by Muse... they make me wet.
I can read a racy romance novel in a day. The sexier the storyline, the faster I read. In fact, I usually masterbate a few times mid-story. Can't help it, when I read I get so engrossed that my imagination really gets into the characters and what they're doing that I fantasize myself straight into a massive orgasm. It's a fun way to go.
About myself
Marital Status
Tobacco Consumption
I'm a non-smoker
Alcohol Consumption
I don't drink at all
About my Partner
Ideal partner
I've already got a partner and he's the love of my life... but a little bit of a prude in my book. I'm definitely more daring and racier. If I could change one thing, I'd rev up his libido a bit.
And another thing as long as I'm wishing here - I'd add 2" on his throbbing cut cock. (Hey, who couldn't use 2 more inches!!!!)

Favorite sexual fantasy
Just one? My biggest fantasy would be to lactate. I've wanted that one since forever. I'd love to be the center of a Bukkake session. Man, that has to be HOT! I'd like to be tied up, blind folded and forced to cum. I wish my husband would be more forceful and "play" rape me. And I wish he'd grab my head and force me to swallow his cum (not that I wouldn't do it voluntarilly anyway.. haha). I'd really like to do some vampire roll playing. I'd like to do something sexy in public like jacking off my husband in the park or movie theatre. Gosh.. there has to be more.....

Map out the mountain.
It's no wonder the Union Atlas Binding is a favorite of all-terrain killer, Torstein Horgmo. Lightweight, responsive, and gimmick-free, these bindings waste no space on useless bells and whistles, and every feature from the Multizone highback, to the minimalist baseplate profile, to the dual-density padding is fine-tuned to improve response, comfort, and board feel. Dope details like magnesium buckles, multi-position straps, and quick-adjust forward lean give the Atlas a high-end feel without costing you more than you paid for your season pass. When you're a rider with a wider stance, the Canted Gas Pedals on the Atlas supply extra leverage for ollie power, as well as allow the ankle and knee joints to be aligned, thus alleviating pain.
The Atlas highback eliminates highback bite for improved comfort and is cored-out to minimize weight without sacrificing response; plus, Vaporlite (injected-EVA) bushings dampen vibrations for a smooth ride. An extruded 3D aluminum heelcup reduces weight while maintaining strength and stiffness, and the Stage III Duraflex ST Atlas baseplate makes minimal contact with your board to eliminate dead zones in the board's flex beneath your feet. The SonicFuse ankle strap provides a secure and responsive fit without creating painful pressure points, and the toe strap is low-profile and cored-out to wrap around the front of your boot for a comfy and secure fit.

New and Improved
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I have ridden Union for 5 years now and have always been really happy with the performance, comfort and overall experience with these bindings. Three years ago I fell in love with the Atlas and pretty much had decided I would never ride anything else. And then they took it away!! Well its back and better than ever. Asymmetrical waffled high back, canted foot bed and super cush ankle strap paired up with the NEW ULTRAgrip toe strap!? It's gonna be a good season...
Its Back
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Ya Union this binding is gold in all ways. Missed you last year Atlas
These ROCK
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I just got these on snow for a few days, and gotta say... They ROCK.
Rode all day with zero foot pain (unlike cartels), and the performance was everything I hoped. GOOD JOB UNION!!!!

Anonymous, Vendor Rep
IT's BACK!It's BACK!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Yes!!! The Atlas is back. After a years absence in the Union line, the Atlas is back with an all new high back and canting. This binding is team favorite. If you are considering a Force, but are on the lighter side or just like a little softer baseplate, the Atlas is perfect. With all new straps and mellow canting underfoot, the Atlas is one of the most comfortable bindings in the game. The asymmetrical waffle highjack is light and supportive against the heel loop but is torsionally flexible for grabs.
The Atlas is a staple in the Union Binding collection.
Can you pls elaborate on the difference b/w the Atlas and the Force? For context, I am 200 lbs and really only care about control of my board - no park/pipe for me, Im just after stability at speed.

I do not see a reason to Notify User when there is no Blocking involved. Even for monitoring, unless you limit it to specific files, notification for all files will only serve to annoy.

Payback on those Nigerian Email Scammers
We all know about these scams by now: You get an email claiming so and so of Lagos or Kenya has died in a horrible accident and if you help the group repatriate the money he had (usually millions) they'll give you a cut of it.
Well, I often have free time on my hands and a fake email account so I love to take these guys to task. Below is a complete email transcript between me (this time posing as Dr. John Bigbootie of Yoyodyne industries) and a Nigerian Email Scammer (This time posing as Rev. Edward Franck, the beloved protectorate of rich orphans). Enjoy!
His contact email to me:
FROM FATHER Edward Franck.
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise, when God remembers
his people, this is how miracle will come to them.Let me introduce myself to you. I am REV.Edward Franck in St. Peters Cahtolic(sic) church in Abiodjan Cote d'ivoire I heard the death of Dr. And Mrs. Johnson williams from the republic of South Africa. Before his death, Dr. Johnson was an Ambassedor of
South Africa in Cote d' ivoire. They are my church members, they went home
for the christmas holidays on the 5th December 2002 and on the 12th December, they had a ghastly motor accident
in which the wife died instantly and Dr. Johnson Williams died five days later in the hospital.
After their burial, His three (3) children came to me in Abidjan here, His eldest daughter Grace Williams, disclosed to me what her late father told her before his death, that her father deposited two metallic
Trunck Boxes containing $12.5million in a private security and safe deposit company here in Abidjan Cote
d'ivoire. According to her, she said that her late father registered these
>Boxes as family valuable properties not as money for security reasons...blah, blah, blah...
...I told her that no one can assist them without any comission, then we dioscussed to give
you 15% of the total amount of the money for you to assist them in this
following ways:
(I love this line, apparently I'm already his sweetheart!)
My dear, these is the ways I want you to help them.
To help them get resident permit to stay in your country.
To make sure that they continue their education in your country....
Best Regards,
Father Edward Franck
Co ordinator.
How tragic, who could say no to that? Certainly not Dr. John Bigbootie,
head of Yoyodyne industries, Devout cahtolic (sic), sworn enemy of
poverty, injustice and Dr. Buckaroo Banzai. However, John needs a bigger
piece of the pie:
Father Franck,
I am a hard man but a fair one. I did not get to be head of Yoyodyne
industries by being a softy. But as a fellow Cahtolic I must do my part
to help. I, however will want 40 % of the 12.5 million. That comes to
just shy of 5 million. Risky ventures require big payoffs, I'm sure you
understand. Contact me with the details.
John Bigbootee
CEO, Yoyodyne Industries
Certainly now Dr. John was hooked. However, Father Franck couldn't help but
renegociate the fake terms with me. Those money grubbing Cahtolic Priests!
On Mon, 09 Feb 2004 03:52:13 -0800 edward franck <********@yahoo.com>
>Dear Friend,
>I have received your mail and I have discussed with the family members.They
>will be willing to release 25% to you for your participation.Please
>write back immediately with details of your telephone lines so that
>I can call you.
>With Love,
>Father Franck
Well, Dr. John didn't get to be head Alien from Planet Lectroid by being a
sucker!, He knows haggling when he sees it, It was also time to let Father
know he was dealing with a big man, the inventor of the Oscillation
Overthruster (with Dr. Emilio Lazardo), only slightly less powerful than
the 'Flux Capacitor':
as you well know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I'll need 35% to do the deed. Please discuss with the family and then
get back to me. I need a return that justifies the risk. You may have
reviewed our company online, and if so, you are familiar with our most
famous product, the oscillation overthruster. We are currently working
on version 2.0, which has been very costly. If I am to use our capital
funds to help this family out(it's not illegal because we are a privately
held company), I must ensure the safety of our company.
So tell me is Franck a German name, or is is Dutch originally?
John Bigbootee
CEO, Yoyodyne Industries
Father Franck had no choice but to up the offer for such a bigwig Also,
it might have to do with the fact that clearly Father Franck was falling
in love a little, I think:
On Sat, 14 Feb 2004 11:20:57 -0800 edward franck <**********@yahoo.com>
>Dear Sir,
>I have delayed in replying this mail to you because I have to discuss
>in detail with the family.We understand that you will use most of
>your time in trying to help ,but I also want you to understand that
>the family really need this money for their future.
>Please in the name of christ,accept 30%.Then Like I demanded in
>my previous mail.Furnish me immediately with your private telephone
>line so that we can constantly be in discussion.Most importantly
>send down your physical address so that we will know you very well.
>When I have received these details that I have demanded,I will give
>to you the contact of the security company and their website.We will
>also plan our Procedure of action.
>With Blessings in the name of Christ.
>With Love, (See! See! He loves me!)
Father Franck has a short temper and is very demanding. These qualities
turn on Dr. John Bigbootie, but also remind him of his arch-nemeses: Dr.
Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Hong Cavaliers. Time to find out just who
we're dealing with, in trade, Dr. John will accept his offer:
Dearest Father Franck:
I would be willing to supply the 30 percent if you can provide me with
the following answers to assuage my fears. I would have to give you access
to our computers here at Yoyodyne, which apart from handling who can
and cannot access our money, also contains plans for such things as the
new and improved Ocsillation Overthruster, so bear with my questions,
even if they seem odd to you:
1. Please tell me the precise date of the tragic accident.
2. Are you now, or have you ever been affiliated with an organization
called the Hong-Kong Cavaliers?
3. what are the levels of education for the 4 children? (This will help

Action Team, NASA or the World Space Exploration League (WoSEL)?
Thank you,
Dr. John Bigbootie
Well, father franck was more than happy to answer the questions:
On Wed, 18 Feb 2004 16:27:11 -0800 edward franck <***********@yahoo.com>
>Dear friend in the Lord,
>I will answer your questions in the order you asked them:
>1) The Precise date of the accident is 12th December 2002
>2)I have no affilliation with an Order in Hong Kong
>3)The eldest daughter was in the University,while the other two
>were still in secondary school.
>4)They have allbeen baptised in Christ.
>5)I have no connection with Dr Banzai.I do not know him.
>6)I am not affilliated with any On-line team.
>I hope the above answers did justice to your questions.Meanwhile,
>it is very important that we understand that these children are suffering
>and need immediate assistance.
>It is important that you send your physical address and your telephone
>contacts so that I can call you.
>Meanwhile call me on this number immedaitely you receive this mail
>for a better discussion.My number is:*************.
>Remain Blessed,
>Father Franck
However, Dr. John was no idiot. Only Buckaroo Banzai would hyphenate the
word 'Online'. Time to call his bluff!:
I'm afraid I don't believe you. Luckily I have agents in the Cote d'Iviore,
most notably John Whorfin and John Smallberries. They tell me Dr. Buckaroo
Banzai has been seen there recently with the Hong Kong Cavaliers. They
claim they were there just to do a benefit show, but I know better, they're
snooping on our plant, trying to trace the diamonds we use in the Oscillation
Overthruster! Will you stop at nothing Dr. Banzai? I fear this means
our transaction has come to an end.
I will stop you and your mad band of swashbucklers someday!
Dr. John Bigbootie
But The reverend was not to be pushed away from such a prize hen as Dr.
Bigbootie. He had one more go, this time, feigning innocence:
Dear Sir Big Bootie,
>I am sorry I dont know what you are talking about.We are very honest
>People here.
>Father Franck
I'm sir Bigbootie! I love it! The FINAL RESPONSE:
So you say. I've been consulted by my colleague John Longjohn and he
has told me there is no such place as Cote D'ivoire! Also, apparently,
the correct way to spell 'Franck' is 'Frank'! Next you'll claim that
English is not your first language, when we know for a fact that everybody
in the whole world speaks English! And are you a Reverend or a Father?
Your story isn't even Straight! We cahtolics know better. Can you even
recite the Five Psalms of Ack-al'baathat Glorg, Overlord of Omicron Perseii
8? If you can't you can hardly claim to be a cahtolic!
Banzai, I know it is you! Give up this farce and face me in one on one
There was no response. To this day, Dr. Buckaroo Banzai remains at large.

Avoiding Bangkok scams
Bangkok scams are rampant. A while back we featured a story on scams throughout Thailand, but The Big Mango deserves some special attention. Now you might fancy yourself a savvy traveller, but these scammers are skilled.
In fact, let's start off with a story. A young lady, let's just call her Melena, was with a pal exploring a touristy area of the city. She was carrying a bag with the name and logo of the university she had attended. Suddenly an eloquent and well spoken Thai man came up to her. "Oh did you go to university there? So did my brother!" Conversation ensued, eloquent man had a tip for a great shop with specialty goods, he was going to just call his buddy over to point out the right direction. SCAM! A good scam, but a scam. Let's break 'em down.
The shopper's helper
We'll use this title to refer to the above scam. There is a man. He has nice clothes and speaks excellent English. Sometimes he's old and seems so sweet and innocent. He dispenses advice like a fountain and knows an amazing shop run by his cousin. You should go — sometimes for gems, sometimes for clothing … always a scam.
What happens if you take the nice man's advice? More often than not nothing terribly harmful. You will be taken to a gem shop that you don't feel like going to and it will be annoying. Sometimes, however, you will be pressured into buying some of those bogus gems for quite a price, and that nice, well-dressed man will then get a kick-back. Moral is, be suspicious. If the kind stranger has shopping advice, tell him you already have plans.
Sorry it's closed
"Miss! The temple is closed! Buddhist holiday!" We'll save you some time right now and tell you that the temple is not closed. In fact, the temple is rarely closed. Particularly when visiting sites like Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho and Jim Thompson's House, you will be met along the way by seemingly helpful men who tell you the site is closed. The reasons will be something like: "they're cleaning", "it's lunchtime" or "there's a ceremony." Lies. All lies.
These men will then suggest another activity: probably a tuk tuk ride to Chinatown, which is always open of course, where you'll be brought to check out gems, gold, souvenirs and more. The less sinister version is when tuk tuk drivers tell you that the attraction is closed in the hopes of taking you on a day tour for a normal price.
The taxi or tuk tuk rouse
"10 baht, anywhere in the city!" Sound too good to be true? It is. Tuk tuk drivers offering this price and this service are 100% scamming you. You will not go anywhere in the city but a tailor or gem shop. If that's fine with you, then hop in! Just know that by doing so you are relinquishing control of your day.
This scam is most common with tuk tuks, especially those that hang out on Khao San Road and in front of major attractions, but it does happen with taxis as well. More commonly — extremely common, in fact — is when taxi drivers quote you a fixed rate that's often five times the price of the normal metered fare. If you tell the driver where you want to go and he comes back with a flat rate, shut the door and find another. Meter is the law and he knows it.
Just feeding the birds
This one used to be commonplace at Sanam Luang, the great grassy expanse that fronts the Grand Palace, though the ever-vigilant tourist police seem to have cut down on it. It starts with an unassuming man tossing breadcrumbs out of a bag to feed the pigeons. He walks over and places the bag in your hands. "Go ahead," he says with a smile, "you can feed them too!"
Once you've thrown a few morsels, he will put on a straight face and say, "Okay, 200 baht." When you give him a confused look, he'll start getting pushy, maybe even start making a scene, while insisting that you have purchased a 200-baht bag of bird food from him. He'll refuse to take the bag back. Crazy as it is, many tourists shell out the cash to avoid a confrontation. Avoid it altogether by not taking the offer in the first place.
Want to play cards?
This is one that we still have a hard time accepting people fall for. But just in case, here it is. A man asks you to go back to his home to play cards. Are you going to go? Did your mother ever tell you not to talk to strangers? Apparently some folks do go and once there they are thrust into a high stakes poker game that involves their money being systematically stolen from them. In sum don't go to a stranger's house, particularly when the reason is poker.
Keep in mind that all of these scammers are generally not harmful so long as you don't take the bate, and even if you do, it's usually only your wallet that will take a beating. They're not going to pull out a gun and force you into a tuk tuk. Always keep an easygoing attitude and avoid getting aggressive at all cost. Being too guarded and thinking that every local is a scammer is a recipe for a not-so-enjoyable trip. Keep your wits about you and all will be fine!

I ordered a chef salad and the lettuce was brown. When I informed the man behind the counter he said that is the way he received and that is the way he had to serve it. I would have preferred that he told me that he couldn't prepare a salad because the lettuce he received was not suitable for serving. I would have ordered something else and still would be a loyal customer.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse

Inexplicable but essential: Romney has to give his wavering ranks, especially his fundraisers, reason to hold on to Oct. 3.
Think about the incentives facing a wavering member of Congress.
With Pence out, Huckabee wavering and Palin problematic, conservatives are looking for a heartthrob.
But at crucial times when wavering Democrats were eager for a lifeline, the Republicans absolutely refused to throw one.
The guidelines may have convinced a wavering Israeli cabinet minister or two that rejectionism is getting costly.
"I don't see what that has got to do with it," said Jack, wavering.
Hetty's eyes were fixed on his now, with no wavering in their gaze.
When I was in the country they were in a wavering and undecided state.
Only her husband's earnest remonstrances decided her wavering will.
My aim was wavering; my bullet only made one man duck his head.
late 13c., weyveren, "to show indecision," probably related to Old English wæfre "restless, wavering," from Proto-Germanic *wæbraz (cf. Middle High German wabern "to waver," Old Norse vafra "to hover about"), a frequentative form from the root of wave (v.). Related: Wavered; wavering.

1977 Dodge Other • V8 4WD Automatic • 55,000 miles
We have a 1977 m880 dodge military pickup. When I turn the key, it starts immediately, but once the key is released, it dies. I'm thinking the ballast resistor is shot. Your thoughts?

Resistor was a real common problem. It is bypassed by the ignition switch during cranking to boost the lower battery voltage up while the starter is drawing it down. Check for voltage on both sides of it with the ignition switch in the "run" position. If voltage is missing on one side, replace it.

by H. Lewis Smith
Laurence Fishburne will be the narrator of an upcoming PBS documentary about black workers in the post-slavery South. The film, titled "Slavery by Another Name," is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglas A. Blackmon. Blackmon's composition is a powerful account of how America surreptitiously maintained slavery under the guise of peonage and forced labor from 1863 to the 1960s.
The narrative brings to light one of the darkest and most shameful moments in American history, exposing the awful truth about the interminable abuse of power and continued post-slavery exploitation of racial subjugation deep into the 20th century: White America was fraught with the idea of blacks being treated and accepted as whole, equal human beings, so, they continued to treat them as limited 3/5 sub-humans/n**gas. The report will debut February 13, 2012, on public TV stations nationwide.
Blatant and defying scum-of-the-earth criminals exploited legal loopholes and federal policies that discouraged prosecution of whites for continuing to hold black workers against their will. In this post-slavery era, the victimized African Americans were treated with barbarous inhumanity: they were overworked, underfed, wretchedly clad and lodged, and had insufficient sleep. They were often made to wear iron collars armed with prongs around their necks and gags in their mouths for hours or days; drag heavy chains and weights at their feet while working in the coal mines, fields, and work camps; and strip naked only to have their backs and limbs pointlessly cut with knives, bruised and mangled by hundreds of blows with inordinate objects (broom sticks, 2 x 4 wood, whips, etc.).
Blacks were frequently flogged with terrible severity and confined together day and night for weeks into cramped and foul spaces. The runaways were often hunted with blood hounds and shot down like wild beasts or torn into pieces by dogs. African Americans were often suspended by the arms and whipped and beaten until they fainted—only to be revived and beaten again until they fainted yet again, and sometimes, until they died. Their ears were sometimes cut off, eyes knocked from the sockets, and bones broken. Blacks were maimed, mutilated and burned to death over slow fires. All these things, and worse, took place up until as recently as the 1960s.
Many people living today were alive during the post-slavery racial subjugation days—those of you who weren't your parents most certainly were—and had they been in the wrong place at the wrong time, they could have easily been a victim. Just by simply walking down a road, one could have been stopped by a sheriff—or anybody white—arrested on some trumped up charges, convicted of crimes he did not commit, falsely imprisoned, and once again enslaved with no rights. This unfair and unjustifiable imprisonment became the reality for tens of thousands of victimized blacks.
The n-word symbolized (and still does today) fear, intimidation, oppressive action, brutality, slavery, the death of innocent men, and the brutality of segregation and Jim Crowism. The message was clear and shared universally among whites: whatever happens to black men is strictly the result of their own choice: if they choose not to submit quietly and meekly to the emerging new order—in other words, remain in their appointed place of being n**gers/n**gahs and allow themselves to be treated as such, then they have chosen the only other alternative available to them—death.
Because they elected life over death, blacks learned many years ago to tread lightly and stray widely from crossing the path of whites. Although laws were enacted to formerly recognize blacks' rights after the Civil War, many unspoken and underlying more real and impacting norms still existed. As a result of blacks learning to operate within certain confines, this mentality or survival tactic still exists today yet much of the black community doesn't realize they're living their lives in some gated or appointed space—not truly free. They linger only in this realm and continually pass around sickening thought processes and beliefs that continue to contaminate the minds of generations of blacks on an epidemic level.
Everyone's help is needed in an effort to eradicate a depraved and ongoing 400- year-old mind manipulation or enslavement and racist process. To sit back passively, and not say or do anything as Black African-American users of the n-word shamelessly make a mockery of their ancestors' humiliating, painful and sometimes deadly experiences is tantamount to condoning all the lascivious acts perpetrated upon them.
Every black person needs to work to expose the awful truths that continue to burden the black community, and change the thinking of Black people—the young and old—and drive them to more positive and noble pursuits. Liberated Blacks must unlock the gates and help cure the mental disease that ails the black community by sharing the serum of healthy self-respect with others most in need of hope.
Mentally-liberated African Americans who care about the state of Black America, and are cognizant about the error in the ways of less fortunate black brothers and sisters, who, to this very day, are still mentally crippled as their uninterrupted embracement of the n-word profoundly indicates, can have tremendous impact and become that agent of change.
The first step to change is to refrain from partaking in—in any way—reckless and destructive behaviors that contribute to the demise of the black community. Stop supporting blacks who publicly use the n-word. There is absolutely nothing funny or dignified about the history behind that word; to embrace the word is to embrace its history. Many readers will be very angry when they learn the contents of Blackmon's book, but it is with ill-conceived contempt to become furious with the white man and fully blame him for the on-going state of the black community, when Black peoples' acceptance of the use of the n-word voices SUPPORT for each and every evil deed conducted by those who accursed the race with the word n**ger/n**ga in the first place.
Dr. Benjamin E. Mays once said that, "[It] is not your environment, it is you– the quality of your mind, the integrity of your soul, and the determination of your will that will decide your future and shape your life."
When Black African-Americans begin to love themselves and others, use of a word that was meant to demoralize and devalue a race of people will be unacceptable. Blacks must be forward looking and discover other words that uplift and have no vile historical baggage attached to them. The black race is far superior to the idea of being labeled as an n-word, and it's more important than ever that the group respond accordingly by displacing inferior imaginings with nobler reflections.
To this very day, post-slavery subjugation is still being carried out. Dismally, blacks themselves are now the perpetrators of this plight by keeping alive an expression that was and is surely a "worker bee" that only works to feed the destruction within the community. Blacks must realize that they have always been given permission and freedom to refer to one another with the N-word, but they will never be given permission to refrain from using the term. It is the hope that Blacks will realize that freedom is being able to first realize a problem or barrier exists, and then separate self from any destructive environment, habit or behavior—no longer a prisoner or slave to the limiting factor.
As Fishburne's documentary will open the eyes of all Americans to the harsh race realities that this society faces, perhaps, the film will impact Black Americans in a more profound manner. Perhaps, the documentary will help Blacks realize the injustices that they faced (and still do face today) all in efforts to be kept in their places as n**gas, will become angry at this treacherous plot, and work relentlessly and at all costs to change their mentalities and direction of the black community.

There are some in the African-American community who are diametrically opposed to referring to themselves as black, it's almost as if the sky is falling when they hear others refer to themselves as black.

Slavery is not African history. Slavery interrupted African history. ~Mutabaruka
The idea of reclaiming the abominable n-word n**ga—a racist term—as opposed to reclaiming one's [stolen] history is reprehensible and serves as evidence of low self-esteem, simple-mindedness—lacking mental capacity and subtlety.

Talk:Ramus Pomifer
|WikiProject Astronomy / Constellations
|(Rated Stub-class, Low-importance)
Merge request[edit]
Ramus Pomifer seems to be an alternative name of Cerberus (constellation), behold the description of the two obsolete constellations:
- Cerberus: It was depicted as a three-headed snake that Hercules is holding in his hand.
- Ramus Pomifer: It was depicted in the form of three serpents wrapped around a branch held in Hercules' left hand.
This is in accordance to the Musca/Apis/Vespa confusion and the Tarandus vel Rangifer confusions before the constellations were standardized with regards to name/genitive, abbreviated forms and borders. Rursus 16:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge request retracted by requestor (User:Rursus), because Bayer's Uranometria 1603 exhibits Ramus Pomifer as an asterism in Hercules, while Cerberus (constellation) was created by Johann Elert Bode in c:a 1800. Rursus declamavi; 23:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I should like to see some evidence of three snakes being part of depictions that do not also label the area Cerberus. I get the impression that a long-standing compromise was to combine the two depictions, so seeing actual citations from early descriptions or images from pre-Cerberus charts are necessary for me to believe the snake part.

In just a split second—the time it took for Barbaro to take that one bad step in the 2006 Preakness Stakes (Md.)—life for Michael Matz was forever altered. "Barbaro's injury changed me as a horseman," said Matz simply. "This is an incredibly humbling business. I went from having the best 3-year-old in the country to trying to save the best 3-year-old in the country."
Through his life as a horseman, Matz knows all about triumph and tragedy. Prior to his career training Thoroughbreds, Matz was one of the world's leading show jumping riders, with Olympic and Pan Am Games medals to his credit and victory in the FEI World Cup Finals.
Barbaro's story, another page-turning chapter in Matz's life, is one that all horsemen fear, especially those in demanding sports such as racing, steeplechasing and upper-level eventing. For these elite equine athletes, brilliant success and tragic failure are often heartbreaking compatriots.
Now, nine months after Barbaro's injury, Matz continues on training other horses, although Barbaro is constantly on his mind as the colt continues to fight for his life. And it's a vigil that millions of people have followed through the extensive media coverage, with Matz and Barbaro's owners, Roy and Gretchen Jackson, and the staff at the New Bolton Center at the University of Pennsyl-vania where he's been hospitalized since the injury.
"The support this horse has generated is overwhelming," said Matz. "Everybody wanted to help--well-wishers sent cards and prayed. The public really rooted for this horse in so many ways."
Barbaro became a household name--especially to Thoroughbred racing fans--when he entered the Kentucky Derby as an undefeated favorite. Even though the racing press questioned Matz's training schedule, in which Barbaro started in the Derby after an uncommon five-week layoff and just one prep race in the previous 13 weeks, the bay colt cruised to an impressive victory.
Racing columnists and reporters then began touting Barbaro as the next great superstar--his was the widest margin of victory in the Derby since Assault won the 1946 running by 8 lengths. They compared Barbaro to the legendary Secretariat in his domination of his peers, and predicted a Triple Crown romp even though it had been 28 years since Affirmed had become just the 11th horse to claim the elusive Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont (N.Y.).
After victory in the Derby and throughout the media blitz that followed, Matz remained quietly optimistic, although as he recalls now, the two weeks between the races went like a blur. He focused on Barbaro's program and continued with the long-range plan he and assistant trainer Peter Brette had developed for the colt's season.
"Everything happened so fast. Thinking back now, I didn't reflect on what he did and how great a horse he could have been," contemplated Matz. "Gretchen feels the same way too. She said, 'We didn't have a chance to enjoy it. Let's do it again.' "
A Love Of Thoroughbreds
Matz began training race horses part time in 1998 while he concluded his show jumping career. At the time, he was aiming Iron Spring Farm's talented stallion Judgement for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. But when their performance in the selection trials didn't qualify them for the team, Matz took it as an opportune time to retire from the sport he'd starred in for nearly three decades.
"Those last few years I was doing both and gradually cut down on the show horses," said Matz. "It was a little difficult at the time, but I had a commitment to ride in the trials, and I kept that commitment."
Even though Matz left show jumping at 49, an age when many riders are still going strong, there really weren't many more major titles in the world he had yet to win. He'd ridden in three Olympics (earning team silver in 1996 in Atlanta), had multiple Pan Am Games appearances to his credit with five gold medals and three bronze medals, and he'd won the 1981 FEI World Cup Final.
However, Matz didn't begin his connection with horses until he was almost 15, when a neighbor invited him to go riding. Then, one thing led to another and Matz became immersed in the sport, starting as a groom and working his way up the ladder.
He began his international show jumping career at age 21 when he forged a strong bond with a U.S.-bred Thoroughbred named Mighty Ruler (by Bold Ruler). The bay carried Matz to his first Pan Am Games in 1975 in Mexico City, where he earned the team gold and individual bronze.
It was in 1977 that Matz joined forces with his most famous partner, Jet Run. The elegant, bay Thoroughbred (by Jet Traffic) was bred by the noted Winter Place Farm in Maryland and had a pedigree meant for the racetrack. His jumping prowess was discovered early on, however, and by age 6 he'd already logged his first grand prix victory. Matz crossed paths with Jet Run at the 1975 Pan Am Games when he watched the horse carry his Mexican rider, Fernando Senderos, to individual gold and team silver.
Following the 1976 Montreal Olympics, F. Eugene Dixon Jr., purchased Jet Run for the U.S. team and thereafter Matz and Jet Run were nearly unbeatable. They won the 1977 American Jumping Derby (R.I.), the 1979 American Gold Cup (Pa.) and both team and individual gold medals at that year's Pan Am Games in Puerto Rico.
In 1981, the pair topped the world's best show jumpers--despite a record-setting blizzard in England on the final day of the competition--to claim the World Cup Final; Matz is one of only six U.S. riders to win the coveted title in its 27-year history. That year Jet Run also earned the American Grandprix Association Horse of the Year title and had his likeness plastered in magazines and on posters that adorned girls' rooms all over the country.
Matz also rode Jet Run on the U.S. team in the 1982 World Cham-pionships, and, after finishing the Winter Equestrian Festival circuit (Fla.) in 1985, the gallant bay was retired to the Dixons' farm in Pennsylvania. At the time of his retirement, Jet Run was second to Melanie Smith Taylor's Calypso in career winnings on the AGA circuit and third behind Rodney Jenkins' Idle Dice and Calypso with 14 grand prix wins.
Therefore, it was no surprise when Jet Run was inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 1996, and 10 years later Matz received the same honor when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame last March, the day after Barbaro won the Florida Derby on his march to the run for the roses.
After Jet Run, Matz continued his show jumping career with a collection of talented horses, including Heisman, Rhum IV, Olisco and The General. His final Pan Am Games appearance in Buenos Aires was memorable for the individual gold medal he won with the Argentine-bred The General as well as for the team bronze he earned with wife D.D. at his side on the team.
The 1996 Atlanta Olympics became Matz's swan song in international championships, and the fulfillment of winning team silver was perhaps overshadowed when he was asked to carry the U.S. flag in the closing ceremonies. "It was a great moment in my riding career and in my life," he said.
His was a career only few could imagine and even fewer could emulate, with some of the world's best horses as his partners. And Matz won the USET Show Jumping Championship Trophy a remarkable six times, the last being in 1995. "I had a good time and enjoyed it. But I don't miss it," he said thoughtfully. "Looking back, I think it was a good time. But I had my time, and now it's someone else's turn."
International show jumper Lisa Jacquin, who trained with Matz when her For The Moment won the 1995 AGA Championships at age 21, said at the time, "I chose Michael because of the fact that he's by far one of the best horsemen in the country when it comes to the care of the horse."
She also identified Matz's two predominant traits as honesty and dedication. "He's in his own class and deservedly so. It just comes easier to Michael than the rest of us," she said.
A Life Change
Even though show jumping and flat racing are very different, the horsemanship required to excel in both takes years to develop. Matz had a head start when he shifted focus to flat racing, because his decades spent with Thoroughbred show jumpers allowed him to move into the new sport with a firm grasp of what it takes to turn out a winner.
"I've always liked race horses, even from the beginning," he said. "And when I finished with the show horses, I had to make a choice. The only thing I could do is teach. I don't mind passing on knowledge, but I didn't want to do it full time. And because D.D.'s family was involved in racing, it was a natural next step."
Although Matz didn't have one particular mentor in racing when he began, he said he studied many different trainers to develop his own conditioning program. "A lot of trainers were very nice to me when I asked them questions," he said. "You might look at a guy and see his success and take a little bit from him, and then see another. Learning from everybody is the key."
Matz noted that training horses for the track and for show jumping are parallel in many ways. "You get a horse fit and figure out each horse's personality," he said. "There are, of course, certain things you do better with a horse you might have [realized] later. You can reflect and realize you might have been too hard on a horse or not hard enough in training. And, you have to consider what type of horse you're training--are you training for a speed class or a grand prix? It's the same thing with the race horses, you have to work with each one on an individual basis."
As Matz began his career in racing, his reputation grew as his horses found the winner's circle. "I'm so lucky," he said. "With the hunters and jumpers I had very good support from owners, and in racing I've been supported by great people too—they've trusted me with very nice horses."
Barbaro's owners, the Jacksons, West Grove, Pa., neighbors of Matz, chose him to train some of their horses by virtue of his record in both sports.
"He's certainly all he's reputed to be," said Gretchen of Michael. "I've enjoyed being with him in every capacity of that word. He has an intimate knowledge of the horse, and my husband and I never, I promise you, doubted what he chose [for Barbaro]. We believe in his program and believe it's a very good program. He has the highest ethical standards and is just an exceptional person."
In 2006, Matz logged his ninth year in training, a relative newcomer in the sport compared to others in his field such as Bob Baffert and Barclay Tagg, just two of the legends of racing he faced in the Kentucky Derby.
"I tried to do the best I possibly could with the show horses, their care and management, and I brought some of the same situations to race horses. Sometimes in the morning you get the work done a lot quicker, but you still try to have enough riders and people working to take the time with the horses. You want them out of their stalls as much as possible, whether in a paddock or on their back."
Matz averages 50 to 75 horses in training at any one time and has barns at the Fair Hill Training Center as well as at Delaware Park. In Florida, he's based at Palm Meadows where he has 65 horses in two barns.
Although as a show jumping rider, Matz was among the best in the world, he had to start back at the bottom rung of the ladder again when he signed his trainer's license for the racetrack.
"That was the real challenge. I wasn't the best in the world, but I was probably in the top 10 percent," he said modestly of his show jumping career. "Now I'm in the bottom 10 percent. It was a challenge that fueled me. This year was my best year in money won. My races won isn't as high, but I've won the right ones."
In addition to his success with Barbaro in 2006, Matz also saddled Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Round Pond. He received the 4-year-old mare in late June from Richard C. Porter of Fox Hill Farm after she'd developed a hoof problem.
"She'd run in two races in Oaklawn [Ark.] and won, but Mr. Porter decided he wanted to change her situation," said Matz. "I received the mare at Fair Hill where there's a wood-chip track that was good for the horse."
Round Pond was off from racing from March until the end of August, when Matz pointed her toward the Molly Pitcher at Monmouth Park (N.J.). "She ran great there and was beat by 4 inches on a muddy track," he noted. "She tried really hard, and that was a good race to come back. We waited five weeks to run her in the [grade 1] Beldame Stakes [N.Y.] where she was third, and then the Breeders' Cup."
Matz fiddled with Round Pond's shoeing throughout the summer, trying to discover just the right solution to her problem. He switched her from glue-ons to regular shoes after the Molly Pitcher, and in the Beldame he wasn't pleased with her comfort level and sent her back to the farrier for glue-ons for the Breeders' Cup.
"From then on, it all went as planned," he said. "She came in as good as you could ask in the Breeders' Cup--and at that point it was good enough [for the victory]. Unfortunately, two horses in the field got hurt [Pine Island and Fleet Indian]."
In the press conference following the Breeders' Cup, Matz expressed his sympathies to Pine Island's owners for their loss after the filly--the leading 3-year-old in the country--dislocated her left fetlock joint and was euthanized. "Our thoughts are with all the connections," said Matz, in a strange twist of fate.
By virtue of Round Pond's impressive Distaff win and Barbaro's Derby victory, both horses garnered Eclipse
Award nominations from the National Thoroughbred Rac-ing Association, the Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers Association. At the awards ceremony on Jan. 22, Barbaro finished second to Breeders' Cup Classic winner Invasor in the Horse of the Year voting and also finished second to Bernardini, the victor in the Preakness, in the 3-year-old colt category. Round Pond finished second in the champion older female voting to Fleet Indian.
Barbaro's connections didn't leave the 36th annual Eclipse Awards without standing center stage, however. Team Barbaro was honored with the Special Eclipse Award, which recognizes outstanding individual achievements or contributions to Thoroughbred racing.
The Eclipse Awards are the pinnacle awards of Thoroughbred racing, and Matz made his presence known in 2006.
"In show jumping, you always want to be in the Olympics and it's the ultimate dream in that sport," said Matz. "I'm lucky that in a short time [in racing] I've gotten a horse to the Kentucky Derby and to the Breeders' Cup, two of the dream races in this sport, and I've been lucky enough to win both.
"I feel very fortunate to have had two talented horses that gave me a chance going in, and that's what it's all about," he continued. "The Kentucky Derby is special. Not many people can say they've won the Kentucky Derby. But good horses make good riders, and good horses make good trainers too."
The Will To Survive
Michael Matz and Barbaro may have been meant to cross paths. After all, both have, against huge odds, managed to survive devastating circumstances to which others, unfortunately, succumbed. For Matz, it was a fiery plane crash and for Barbaro, he's still struggling to overcome a catastrophic injury and the complications that ensued.
In 1989, Michael and his wife D.D. (then fianc�e) were on route to Philadelphia when the plane they were on crashed in Sioux City, Iowa, after a catastrophic engine failure that destroyed all of the plane's hydraulic systems. Of the 296 passengers on board United Flight 232, 111 died.
Michael escaped the burning plane with three unaccompanied young children in tow--two holding his belt and a third following close behind. Then, he fought his way back into the burning wreckage to search for D.D. and rescued an 11-month-old girl from the luggage compartment.
For his heroism, ABC News named Michael their "Person of the Week." "We were lucky to survive it and go on," said Michael of a chapter in his life he finds difficult to reread.
In an emotional sidebar to the Kentucky Derby, the three children Michael rescued (now young adults) joined him there to cheer on Barbaro. Thanks to the extensive TV coverage of the Derby, their reunion was captured for all to appreciate during the Derby pre-race festivities.
It was just two weeks later that millions of racing fans worldwide, rooting for Barbaro to win the second jewel of the Triple Crown, watched horrified as jockey Edgar Prado struggled to pull Barbaro up in the Preakness (Md.) after he shattered his right hind leg early in the race. In an instant, the Triple Crown contender began a more important race, the race for his life.
Dean W. Richardson, DVM, chief of surgery and the Charles W. Raker Professor of Equine Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania's Veterinary School's Widener Hospital at New Bolton Center, was called into action. Richardson is an internationally recognized orthopedic surgeon whose research focuses on cartilage repair.
In a nine-hour surgery, Richardson repaired three fractures--a broken cannon bone above the ankle, a broken sesamoid bone behind the ankle and a broken long pastern bone below the ankle. The fetlock joint--the ankle--was dislocated.
Richardson said the pastern bone was shattered in "20-plus pieces." The puzzle that was Barbaro's hind leg was repaired with 23 screws and a metal plate. The damage was so severe that most horses would not survive. "Barbaro presented a case that was about as difficult as such an operation could be," said Richardson.
The mainstream media followed Barbaro's plight closely, and racing fans worldwide responded, sending thousands of cards, flowers, horse treats and e-mails to the horse while he recuperated. During the Belmont (N.Y.), about 20,000 people signed a 62' x 7' get-well card.
"The injury to Barbaro this spring was the adversity of the most wrenching kind," said Bill Nack of the National Turf Writers Association during their annual dinner where Team Barbaro was honored with the "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons Award. The honor is presented to the individual or group exemplifying the spirit of racing. "And team Barbaro acquitted themselves so well that I suspect they ended up with more admirers and friends around the world than they would have if Barbaro had won the Triple Crown."
As Barbaro's right hind leg slowly healed and his prognosis improved, his connections' trepidation slowly trickled into optimism. Unlike Ruffian, the high-strung filly who broke her leg in a high-profile 1975 match race and couldn't be saved, Michael believed Barbaro had the right qualities to make a tractable patient.
"He has a very good disposition," he said of the colt. "He's strong and athletic and there's not a mean bone in his body. The people that worked around him—Peter Brette and his groom—had nurtured that respect. It's a two-way street."
Throughout Barbaro's recuperation, the colt's owners, Roy and Gretchen Jackson, observed Michael's dedication. "To me and my husband, it was very, very significant for us that after Barbaro broke down Michael was always there," said Gretchen. "He was there on race day and was always there afterward. I wonder how many trainres would go to that extent. Michael did 90 percent of Barbaro's grazing, which wasn't really publicized. He loves that horse in every sense of the word."
Just when Barbaro was making strides in recovery, he had a major setback in July when he developed laminitis in his left hind foot resulting in a partial hoof wall resection.
Despite rumors that Barbaro's euthanization was imminent, this wasn't the case, and the Jacksons continued to allow Richardson to do everything he could to keep the horse comfortable even though the prognosis was grim.
"The reality is that when you come in and see this horse every day, he nickers to you," said Richardson during a July press conference. "He's still eating well. He has excellent G.I. function. He is capable of walking around the stall."
Again, Barbaro continued to progress through the summer and fall, the cast was removed from his broken leg and his left hind foot improved after surgery. Barbaro even began to venture outside his stall, and on Dec. 21 he appeared on ABC News' Good Morning America walking outside the hospital with Richardson, both hind legs in support wraps.
Although he appeared with ample weight and a bright eye, Barbaro's abnormal movement alarmed some TV viewers.
"We are aware that there is some public concern about his abnormal motion on the right hind limb, however, this is not unexpected," said Richardson. "His gait may be abnormal as he learns to adapt to having fusions of two major joints in his lower limb and to the special shoe. In addition, the fracture had some collapse on the medial [inside] part of the pastern region after he developed laminitis on the left hind foot. Although this is visually unattractive, the mechanics of the lower leg are not seriously affected because the pastern and fetlock joints are fused.
"Our goal was to give him a leg that would be functional and comfortable enough to live happily. The right hind has healed well enough that we are optimistic about that possibility," added Richardson in early January. "However, Barbaro's left hind foot, which had laminitis, remains a more formidable long-term challenge. The foot must grow much more for him to have a truly successful outcome."
Unfortunately, Richardson's ongoing concern with Barbaro's left hind foot was rekindled in January when the colt began exhibiting pain after a cast change. On Jan. 13, they assessed the situation and performed additional surgery.
"In today's procedure, another area of undermined hoof wall was removed," said Richardson. "Because he has been more uncomfortable on his left hind, we put a cast back on the right hind lower limb for additional support."
And while Matz, the Jacksons and the veterinarians continue to support Barbaro in his battle against the odds, the colt's outcome remains far from certain. "We have not accomplished anything yet. There's still a long way to go. He's definitely heading in the right direction again, though," said Richardson.
