"Imperial city of Chinese treasures" Beijing by cheezecake_deli
Beijing Travel Guide: 6,598 reviews and 16,752 photos
Beijing is a city that has gone by other names - Yanjing, Dadu, Khanbaliq and, as recent as a century ago, Beiping. Inhabited for thousands of years, it is located at the northern boundary of the traditional Han Chinese world - indeed, it has been, at times, outside the control of the Chinese altogether (for instance, as the capital of the Mongol state of Jin in the 13th century). Despite this, it has played a central role in Chinese politics since the Yuan dynasty, and even the Communist party moved their seat of government here after establishing the PRC. Much of the cultural heritage of Beijing, such as the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and both Summer Palaces, date from the Ming and Qing dynasties, 500+ years that saw much grand building work in the city. As the capital city, Beijing's importance in modern Chinese history also cannot be understated. It was to Tiananmen Square that the Red Guards flocked, in the 1960s, to listen to Mao and it was here, in 1989, that a bloody suppression of popular protest was made in front of the world's cameras. Beijing has moved on from that notorious event, to a rollercoaster ride in the new millennium: orchestrating a booming economy, building for the Olympic Games, and managing increasing competition from other Chinese cities (chiefly Shanghai, Hong Kong and Guangzhou).
Beijing should be on the itinerary of every traveller to China, at least once and preferably several times. It is a veritable treasure house of imperial Chinese architecture and art, but is also a modern city of skyscrapers, ring roads and subways. The city may seem slightly alienating at first - you're more likely to notice the 10-lane traffic, incessant noise and pollution - but scratch below this surface and there is a whole world of Chinese treasures to be discovered. There is easily enough to see in a week, but, to really appreciate all that is on offer in Beijing and around, you will need weeks, if not a lifetime. My advice is not to be too ambitious: choose what you want to see in the time that you have, everything else will just have to wait for the next trip! Unlike, say, Shanghai or Hong Kong, the main highlights of Beijing are definitely cultural, so it helps if you have some basic knowledge of Chinese history.
Top 5 sights:
1. The Temple of Heaven
2. The Forbidden City
3. The Summer Palace (Yiheyuan)
4. The Great Wall of China
5. Prince Gong's Mansion
Heck, there's so much more:
6. The hutongs
7. Jingshan Park
8. Beihai Park
9. The Ming tombs
10. Tiananmen Square

Church's clothing room outfits students to go back to school
MIDWEST CITY — A father came in with his three children orbiting him like rockets. School was days away, and they didn't have any supplies. The only one who seemed worried was the father; the kids still bounced around with the joy of summer break. Luckily, he brought them to the Eastside Church of Christ clothing room, where they could stock up on paper, folders and other gear. Several volunteers loaded up plastic bags of supplies while parents helped their children find clothing, shoes and backpacks. The church's clothing room is open once a month, and volunteers also host a back-to-school event for families in the Midwest City-Del City, Choctaw-Nicoma Park, Jones, Harrah, McLoud and Spencer school districts. More than 150 students received school supplies and clothing during the church's annual back-to-school event. And hundreds of more families came by after them. The clothing room at Eastside is so popular and the back-to-school drive is so essential, the supplies were running low by the end of the day. Some things just weren't available. Unfortunately, the glue sticks and pencils were already gone, a volunteer told the dad. There weren't any boxes of tissue or bottles of hand sanitizer. But they could take home pens, markers, paint, binders and other necessities. The clothing service at Eastside doesn't always have everything everyone needs, said Wanda Weale, the Eastside clothing service coordinator. But it gives hope each month to people.
Clothing roomEastside Church of Christ offers free clothing, shoes and accessories each month. Items are available once a month during an open giveaway and throughout the month for individuals and families with referrals from social agencies, churches, schools, the state Department of Human Services and members of Eastside Church of Christ. Volunteers are needed to prepare for the giveaways and work at the events. Volunteers meet at the church, 916 S Douglas in Midwest City, each Monday to sort donations and organize the clothing room. For more information, call 732-0393.

It's to early to say at the moment, but we may put the game out in pieces starting in July 2010 but it's still a Premature to say an exact date. We plan on showing a lot of in game footage, screen shots very shortly.

It's to early to say at the moment, but we may put the game out in pieces starting in July 2010 but it's still a Premature to say an exact date. We plan on showing a lot of in game footage, screen shots very shortly.
We are going to be publishing this game digitally to start. Hopefully we can bring a publisher on to publish retail at local stores as well as localization for multiple countries.
We are making dozens of dinosaurs =)
It's to early to tell but we are aiming for lower end machines as well as higher end.
Vote for Primal carnage and we will release something special! -Cheap pop lol
Lightspire is on hold, so that's not true.
We plan on dozen's of NPC dinoaurs both friendly and none. To bring the world to life.
The team and I have plans for a dozen or so dinosaurs for this game. We are focusing mainly on the dinosaurs everyone knows and grew up to love at first, as well as introducing some new ones.
It's much easier to design game play for a t-rex class and raptor rather than a Therizinosaurus. Since we have to keep balance, game play, abilities in perspective.
We will have a bunch of random NPC dinosaurs to bring the levels to life and we are using a brand new AI technology for individual AI behavior such as flocking, herds, and interactions.
As I understand your frustrations with the same ol' cliche, hence the reason why I started lightspire, since I was tired of seeing Elves, orcs, dwarves in every fantasy game and decided to evolve it. There is not many Dinosaur games out in the market today, I do not count turok as one since their Dino's seemed a bit more alien like.
It wont be easy to please everyone as much as I would like to, but I'm sure more people would rather a t-rex to not have feathers than feathers. It's all based upon opinion, as I respect yours I have to also respect the others. Perhaps we can add skins for each dinosaur as achievements, where you can unlock new skins/ models based on stats.
It's almost like if your making a Space / Sci-fi game, we all know there is no sound in space, so why have sound fx for space ships? A lot do it because it's more appealing.
Read the Brief description at the top. I'm not going to spoil any of the story just yet. On a side note, no one really knows for sure how a dinosaurs behavior was it's all based on multiple theories, which gives you a bit of creativity when dealing with dinosaurs. We plan on going the direction that most people are used to seeing when they think about certain dinosaurs.
You got it.
Unigine is not our engine, it's a commercial game engine we are using from www.unigine.com But we are making a specific announcement about our relationship with them and why we are using their engine shortly.
You sir are correct, don't forget a little Battlefield 2 mixed in.
Indie game =)
Hey guys these are some awesome replies!
Yes that is a cage. Just send me an Email regarding using the concept for your practice. If you give our team the credit for the concept art than it may be fine.
Will whale man be a playable character or a giant boss battle where you and a dozen other rabbit players team up to take him down for achievements and perhaps new gear / upgrades?
It's a Sniper / tranquilizer combo.
Great job guys on releasing, very proud of you and your entire team. Your hard work has paid off and you have my vote. So when's MWLL 2 coming out? =)
It can and it will.
"Looks at Game Design Document\" - Yep we have a couple bigger planed.
HAh, glad you guys noticed the scream! We figured it's a fun inside joke. The scream wont be used in the game though, strictly added it for humor of the animation testing.
Lan /Online/ Single player / and more that we are not saying yet.
No worries Mik0112, you can triple post if you like! You have some great criticism and it's appreciated. The more ideas, crits we get will help my team and I with producing the game at the quality the fans will want.
It's just the lighting of the render. Wait until you see it moving around real time in the engine it looks fantastic.
HAH! yes, we actually re-made that character as you will see in next update. That's funny though. Cheers
Thank you for your comments and ideas! We will give it a shot and see how it looks, thanks.
Lightspire is on hold until we finish Primal Carnage. We plan for primal carnage to raise money for us to continue development on lightspire full time since it's a very ambitious and large project.

Denver Pubs
The luck of the Irish is never very far away when you're in Denver, thanks to the abundance of pubs you'll discover throughout the city. These pubs offer cozy ambiance, friendly crowds, traditional music and authentic food and drink. Put on something shamrock green and start exploring.
Fadó Irish Pub Denver
1735 19th St.
Fadó (pronounced f'doe) is the Irish expression meaning "long ago". The term, commonly used as the preface of old Irish stories, has become the name of one of Denver's most popular pubs, located just a stone's throw from Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies in Lower Downtown (LoDo). At Fadó, you'll find hospitable surroundings, good food and good drink, and friendly conversation -- in other words, what the Irish call "craic."

Scruffy Murphy's is easily one of the most authentic slices of the Emerald Isle you'll find in Denver.

Pints Pub
221 W. 13th Ave.
While there are plenty of Irish pubs in Denver, the city also has a fantastic British-style pub in the shape of Pints Pub, located just down the street from the Denver Art Museum.

Not a huge Michael Vick fan, but he gets too much shit. He isn't the one who can't block AT ALL and he isn't the one dropping passes. The play calling is also fucking terrible.
Now it's time for the Iggles to trim the fat
I'ma ball at the mall shuttin' down the sea wall
Vick is one of the most worthless QB's in history.
What can Vick say that they can't? Won a couple playoff games that got me nowhere, and killed some dogs and went to prison. Congrats.
I think I would take Vick over Rivers, but just because I need some change.

The Case for Faith: A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity by Lee Strobel $0.99
In his #1 best-seller The Case for Christ, legally trained investigative reporter Lee Strobel examined the claims of Christ, but despite the compelling historical evidence that Strobel presented, many people grapple with serious concerns about faith in God. As in a court of law, they want to shout, "Objection!" They say, "If God is love, then what about all the suffering in our world?" Or, "If God cares for everyone, then why does he eternally torture some in hell?" In The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his tenacious investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief--the eight "heart" barriers to faith. The Case for Faith is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with formidable intellectual barriers standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends.

The Grand Weaver: How God Shapes Us Through the Events of Our Lives by Ravi Zacharias $0.99
How differently would we live if we believed that every dimension of our lives—from the happy to the tragic to the mundane—were part of a beautiful and purposeful design in which no thread were wrongly woven? That's what best-selling author and internationally-known apologist, Ravi Zacharias, explores in The Grand Weaver. As Christians, we believe that great events such as a death or a birth are guided by the hand of God. Yet we drift into feeling that our daily lives are the product of our own efforts. This book brims with penetrating stories and insights that show us otherwise. From a chance encounter in a ticket line to a beloved father's final word before dying, from a random phone call to a line in a Scripture reading, every detail of life is woven into its perfect place. In The Grand Weaver, Dr. Zacharias examines our backgrounds, our disappointments, our triumphs, and our beliefs, and explains how they are all part of the intentional and perfect work of the Grand Weaver.

God or Godless?: One Atheist. One Christian. Twenty Controversial Questions. by John Loftus & Randal Rauser $0.99
Perhaps the most persistent question in human history is whether or not there is a God. Intelligent people on both sides of the issue have argued, sometimes with deep rancor and bitterness, for generations. The issue probably won't be decided by another book, but when we engage in civil conversation, we can begin to understand each other's point of view. In this unique book, atheist and former pastor John Loftus and theist and professor Randal Rauser engage in twenty short debates that consider Christianity, the existence of God, and unbelief from a variety of angles. This is the perfect book for Christian, atheist, and agnostic friends to read together, and it encourages honest, open, and candid discussions on the most important issues of life and faith.

Read the Bible for Life: Your Guide to Understanding and Living God's Word by George Guthrie $0.99
The Bible may be the most bought book in the world, but it is also often the least read and least applied due to a basic lack of understanding and motivation on the part of readers. Read the Bible for Life aims to improve biblical literacy in the culture and the church by simultaneously moving readers toward greater skill in reading the Bible well. Chapters focus on the various types of literature in Scripture and how to read them well. For instance, how should we read a psalm differently than we read a parable? How should we read a story of the Old Testament differently than we read a letter from Paul? How can we engage these various parts of Scripture in a way that is truly life-changing? The book also discusses issues such as reading the Bible in context, and choosing and reading a Bible translation. As we better understand how to read the Bible skillfully, we begin to see how every person of the Bible, every psalm, and every teaching fits into the Bible's powerful, overarching story, and we begin to realize our place in the story that God is still writing in the world.

Crazy Stories, Sane God: Lessons from the Most Unexpected Places in the Bible by John Alan Turner $0.99
You probably know a lot of Bible stories: Joseph and his coat, David and Goliath, Daniel and the lions, Jesus walking on water. But there are other stories in the Bible that preachers and Sunday school teachers tend to skip over because, well… because they seem crazy—the kind of stories that make us change the subject quickly when children bring them up, because we don't know why they're in the Bible or what they could possibly mean. You want examples? There's the time a prophet calls a couple of bears out of the woods to maul a gang of rowdy teenagers. There's also a story about a woman who dresses provocatively and tricks her father-in-law into getting her pregnant. And their son ends up in the genealogy of Jesus! What are we to make of these strange, sometimes cryptic, sometimes even off-color stories? What are they doing in the Bible? In Crazy Stories, Sane God popular author and teacher John Alan Turner takes us on a wild and unpredictable ride through the weirdest and least familiar stories in the Bible. Through it all, Turner shows us how even these odd episodes reveal important things about the character and nature of God and, consequently, what they mean for us today. ORDER YOUR COPY NOW >>>

Faith on Trial: Analyze the Evidence for the Death and Resurrection of Jesus by Pamela Binnings Ewen $0.99
For those without faith or with lingering moments of doubt, Faith on Trial sets forth solid evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ – much of it only becoming available in the last few decades. Lawyer, author, and former agnostic Pamela Binnings Ewen illuminates Christianity as the only world religion that can be based upon verifiable facts. Developing those facts, she invites readers into the jury box and then examines under court-required standards the gospel testimonies of the witnesses: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Were these authors of the gospels writing from personal knowledge, or was it second-hand information? Holding bedrock Christian beliefs up for detailed scrutiny, Faith on Trial forms a powerful chain of proof using archeological, historic, scientific, manuscript-based, and even medical evidence to build the case. Facts and reason are not provided as substitutes for faith in Faith On Trial. But for those seeking answers, or those who doubt, these facts and reason can provide the key to revelation and a firm foundation for faith. ORDER YOUR COPY NOW >>>

God and Other Things: Conversations That Defend Faith, Question Evolution, and Search for Truth by Wade Winningham $0.99
Could this book change your life? It is very likely. If you are reading this, you are a searcher for truth. This book will help you find it. Or you are looking for a way to defend your faith. This book will show you how. You may ask: Why another book on faith and God? Because believers are surrounded by a culture that tells them that God is irrelevant. On college campuses and in the media, people of faith are seen as naïve, or delusional, or just plain stupid. They are not. This book will make that point clear, and help you to make it as well. With a fast paced, conversational style that gets to the point quickly, it keeps your attention by allowing you to eavesdrop on a conversation between two friends as they disagree about obstacles to faith. It is more of a coffee shop conversation than a textbook, and anyone with a curious mind will benefit from it. ORDER YOUR COPY NOW >>>

SNL helps Marvel debut their first female-centered superhero movie for Black Widow.
Its a challenge for actors in blockbuster movies to keep secrets about the production. however, in Mark Ruffalos case on Avengers: Age of Ultron, it was easy for him not to spill the beans for this reason.
Anyone who has paid even a modicum of attention already knew that Marvels Avengers: Age of Ultron is going to be a huge blockbuster. But as it turns out, it may be even bigger than anyone thought, as advanced ticket sales are freakishly massive. Like Hulk-sized.
Do you have what it takes to lift Thors hammer? Iron Man doesnt. Bruce Banner doesnt. Hawkeye doesnt. Captain America, for the most part, doesnt. But that didnt stop any of these pedestrians from trying to wield Mjolnir after finding it on the street.
Beyond their long history with the team in the comics, director Joss Whedon felt it was necessary that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch be present in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Every fan of The Avengers remembers that memorable line Bruce Banner delivered during the Battle of New York: Im always angry. Now Joss Whedon has revealed its origin.

I wanted to use up the miso I had and found this recipe. As I cooked it I thought it would be horribly bland, but it was dynamite. I absolutely loved it and shared it with friends and family...SO GOOD!
I liked it, the kids didn't.It wasn't thick enough for them as they prefer pumpkin soups. Very nice though.

"Pompidou Center - dingy & dull plaza" Centre Pompidou Tip by rexvaughan
Centre Pompidou, Paris: 2 reviews and 3 photos
Maybe it is unfair to call this a tourist trap, but the day we visited we found very little appealing about the center. Granted, we did not visit the National Museum of Modern Art which I understand is a collection of great 20th Century art, but the center itself is purported to be a great gathering place. Maybe we hit at a bad time but there were few people about, the plaza was just a huge concrete area and the building itself seemed a bit dingy. As a matter of taset, I do not find the building attractive or appealing at all. Of greatest interest were the statues by Nikki de St. Phalle in the pool, especially when viewed with the old church in the background contrasting the old with the new.
Unique Suggestions: Go inside to see the museum. I am sure it would be worth the time.

HOUSTON (AP) — The incoming leader of the National Rifle Association has a long history with the powerful gun rights lobby and a penchant for bold statements that are sure to inflame an already explosive national debate over gun control.
James Porter, an Alabama attorney and first vice president of the NRA, assumes the presidency on Monday after the group's national convention wraps up in Houston. He didn't wait until then to ignite a new furor over gun control, telling the NRA grassroots organizers on Friday they are the front line of a "culture war" that goes beyond gun rights.
"(You) here in this room are the fighters for freedom. We are the protectors," Porter said.
Porter, 64, whose father was NRA president from 1959-1961, is part of the small, Birmingham, Ala., law firm of Porter, Porter & Hassinger. The firm's website notes its expertise in defending gun manufacturers in lawsuits.
Porter takes over the organization as the NRA finds itself in a national fight over gun control in Washington, D.C., and state capitols around the country. The NRA had a major victory regarding gun control with the defeat in the U.S. Senate of a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun sales. But it lost ground in some places as several states passed laws expanding background checks and banning large ammunition magazines after December's mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
Glen Caroline, director of the NRA's grassroots division, noted the coming fight over gun control in the 2014 elections. "Our senators are on record. They cannot hide from those votes," Caroline said.
As shown by his "culture war" comment Friday and others in his past, Porter's style is likely to be one that fans the flames of an emotionally combustible debate.
Porter has called President Barack Obama a "fake president," Attorney General Eric Holder "rabidly un-American" and the U.S. Civil War the "War of Northern Aggression." On Friday, he repeated his call for training every U.S. citizen in the use of standard military firearms, to allow them to defend themselves against tyranny.

HOUSTON (AP) — The National Rifle Association kicked off its annual convention Friday with a warning to its members they are engaged in a "culture war" that stretches beyond gun rights, further ramping up emotions surrounding the gun control debate.
NRA First Vice President James Porter, a Birmingham, Ala., attorney who will assume the organization's presidency Monday, issued a full-throated challenge to President Barack Obama in the wake of a major victory regarding gun control and called on members to dig in for a long fight that will stretch into the 2014 elections.
More than 70,000 NRA members are expected to attend the three-day convention amid the backdrop of the national debate over gun control and the defeat of a U.S. Senate bill that would have expanded background checks for gun sales. It was introduced after December's mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. A small gathering of gun control supporters were outside of the convention in Houston.
Porter's remarks came in a short speech to about 300 people at a grass-roots organizing meeting and set the tone for a "Stand and Fight"-themed convention that is part gun trade show, political rally and strategy meeting.
"This is not a battle about gun rights," Porter said, calling it "a culture war."
"(You) here in this room are the fighters for freedom. We are the protectors," said Porter, whose father was NRA president from 1959-1960.
Rob Heagy, a former parole officer from San Francisco, agreed with Porter's description of a culture war.
"It is a cultural fight on those 10 guarantees," he said, referring to the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. "Mr. Obama said he wasn't going after our guns. As soon as the Connecticut thing happened, he came after our guns."
That theme carried throughout the day and reached a crescendo in a 3 ½-hour political rally punctuated by fiery speeches from state and national conservative leaders.
"You stood up when freedom was under assault and you stood in the gap, you made a difference," former U.S. senator and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told the cheering crowd of more than 3,500 at the rally.
"This is a critical time in American history. Something big is happening in America," Santorum said. "Stand for America. Fight for America."
Texas Gov. Rick Perry criticized gun control supporters as opportunists who prey on the raw emotions of tragic events.
"You can almost set your watch for how long it takes for people who hate guns, who hate gun owners, to start a new campaign," after a mass shooting, Perry said.
Obama, who has pushed for gun control measures, was a prime target for criticism the entire day. NRA Executive Director Chris Cox bragged about the organization's political victory.
"It was great to see the president throw a temper tantrum in the Rose Garden," Cox said.

Fantastic mustard - have ordered more
Posted by 4780315284233451830 on Apr 21, 2016
I have ordered more of this mustard. I've had it with sausages, and chicken so far. It's tasty with a nice tang. I will try the yellow one at some point but it's hard to go past this one. What I like is that it contains apple cider vinegar - good for people with blood sugar problems as it blocks some of the digestion of starch - when you digest starch it raises your blood sugar. I like it as it doesn't contain gluten, sugar and rubbish like others. I'm very careful with what I put into my body.
Best mustard in the world!
Posted by 5605975844288518311 on Feb 19, 2016
I love this mustard so much! i go through at least one jar a week. perfect with fish or on ham. It has a pretty strong and bold taste, much different from the cheap mustard you buy in the supermarkets. if you like bold flavors and loose mustard, this is for you!
Perfect Brown Mustard!!! I love it!
Posted by 5004887133368787390 on Jan 15, 2016
This is the best brown mustard I will only buy...I stocked up...I love vinegar so this does not bother me. I use it in a salmon dish I make a tangy mango sauce, poured over salmon and WOW!!! What a delight... This is so healthy for you, plus being certified organic so no chemicals. Great product, will buy again.

Delicious, on the sweet side.
Yummy mustard
Posted by 4994548901562193742 on Jul 30, 2015
Though a tad sour, but tastes good, I add this whenever I feel like my food is too bland, definitely adds a lot of flavour. I also use this together with PB2 and some sweet chilli sauce to make a simple salad dressing.
too much vinegar
Posted by 4997132257844886066 on May 11, 2015
A bit too much vinegar to my taste. Too acidic. Even though behind all this sourness you can really spot a great taste, still that vinegar just kills the whole experience. Not sure what I'm going to do with the whole jar...and will just keep looking for that perfect one...
Very good
Posted by 5734304313578817311 on Mar 18, 2015
But this is not dijon, so it is not strong. But a good and subtle taste and most of all, so satisfying to know it is a *clean* product!!!
Perfect for veggie burgers
Posted by 5536595171908109527 on Feb 21, 2015
This has a nice consistency I use for veggie burgers and veggie dogs. Delish!
The best
Posted by alexvio on Jan 31, 2015
This is the best mustard i've tried so far. Good and healthy. You can feel the taste of vinegar pretty well, but it's a good taste. I love it.
Perfect organic mustard

Really good tasting and organic! Just perfect.

I love breastfeeding. As a nutritionist I always spoke to new and expectant mothers about the benefits of nursing and was beyond excited to establish that special bond with my LO. I planned on stopping at around age 2 or whenever he decides he wants to wean. It is truly something I am passionate about and have researched becoming a lactation consultant in addition to my career.
However, I am 248 pounds and having extreme self image issues. I do everything I'm supposed to do. Drink a gallon of water a day, eat healthy, workout twice a day. And I'm not losing anything. My inches are the same and after stepping on the scale (which I shouldn't have done), I've gained a pound. My body is truly working against me. I don't want to stop nursing but the thought of going into another year and some months weighing this much is scary. I wanted to lose the weight healthily and be able to run and play with my LO. And of course feel good about myself. I will also be done with my masters in May and can't imagine telling clients to eat healthy when I'm obviously obese.
Sorry it became so long, but has anyone been in this situation before? I feel selfish considering this but I'm honestly becoming depressed about it all. Thanks for reading.

Hate crimes laws are an attempt to address that by trying to dissuade people from committing crimes against certain stigmatized groups, essentially codifying into law that it's not okay to be prejudiced against these groups of people. Of course, the law often already states elsewhere that prejudice is bad, but it doesn't seem to be enough that our laws say "Everyone is equal" if that's not how things work in practice.
Stigmatized group or not, with murder I'd think that there'd be some element of hate involved. I don't see how the extra classification would only apply to certain groups.
Or that if the victim may be part of some minority, that that automatically implies that the crime committed was a hate crime. That's not necessarily so either.
When things don't make sense, I don't them. XD
