text: Here's the deal.. After not riding for a few years after starting a family I have jumped back in this year.. My main bike is a Trek 5900 I bought brand new in 2001.It's very well equipped and gets the job done. My back up bike is a 99 Raliegh R700 which I have had since new also. The drive train is shot, but the wheels which are Mavic CXP 33's on Ultegra hubs are good.. Is it worth upgrading the group to new 105?I want this bike to ride from November to March, it just needs to be a solid beater bike. I figure a new 105 bike would be at least $1,500 and new upgrades would save some money over that. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Overview of Koreatown
Those looking for relatively cheap three bedroom apartments for rent in Los Angeles should consider Koreatown. This up-and-coming neighborhood is known for its abundant nightlife and social scene. There are quite a few excellent restaurants, such as Kang Hodong Baekjeong on 6th Street. This restaurant is renowned for its Korean BBQ. Koreatown also boasts many cool bars, such as R Bar on 8th Street near the Wilshire and 8th intersection. This chic bar is a speakeasy-style watering hole that requires you to say a password to get in. At R Bar, you'll be able to enjoy karaoke, which is a staple of the bustling nightlife in "K-town." A quick search on Rent.com for three bedroom apartments could show many listings near the hotspots of the area.
Searching for Three Bedroom Apartments in Koreatown
If you have a young family and are looking to move to Koreatown, a three bedroom apartment may be the best choice for you. While home ownership is a dream of many families, it is not a financial reality for a large number of them. Three bedroom apartments tend to be much cheaper than houses but will still provide enough space for most families. Alternatively, you might be a single student or professional looking to move in with friends and save on rent costs. These types of apartments in the area generally run from $1,850 to $2,150 per month. This is roughly $300 cheaper than average in Southern California, making Koreatown an ideal place to live when commuting to school or work in Los Angeles.
Before you move into your new apartment in Koreatown, check out this Rent.com blog, which provides useful information on how to scope out a neighborhood before you move there. This is important if you are moving to the Los Angeles area for the first time as Southern California offers a unique lifestyle.
Typical Layout for a Three Bedroom Apartment in Koreatown
The typical layout for a three bedroom apartment in Koreatown varies widely. Some are "railroad" apartments in retro Art Deco-style buildings. These floor plans have all three bedrooms in a row. Others have a kitchen and living room in the middle with one bedroom on one side of this area and two on the other. The square footage ranges from 700 to 1,200 feet with some being smaller than the norm.

"Noord-Brabant" Provincie Noord-Brabant by Twan
Provincie Noord-Brabant Travel Guide: 1,977 reviews and 6,524 photos
North Brabant is bordered to the north by the Dutch provinces of South Holland and Gelderland, in the west of Zeeland, Limburg in the east and in the south to the Belgian provinces of Antwerp and Limburg. Except Gelderland and Overijssel has no other Dutch province much 'neighbors'. North Brabant is a large province (after Gelderland largest) and it holds an important logistics, including cross-border transit function, both to the south and east.
With a population density of 501/km ² North Brabant above average urbanized. The urbanization is at the center of the province is greatest where the 'kite' (the city ring Breda, Tilburg, Eindhoven and 's-Hertogenbosch) is located, the rest is a rural province. The province also has its scenic values well preserved. Natural Beauty can be found especially in the national parks Loon and Drunen Dunes, De Biesbosch and De Groote Peel, in the fens area Kampina in Oisterwijk, the Grenspark The Zoom Kalmthout Heath, and in the wooded area of Breda. The area south of Eindhoven named De Kempen is a beautiful area with farmlands and forests.
My Visits
Bergen op Zoom
I´m born and raised in Zijtaart. After that I live in Hoensbroek, Limburg for two years to return to Zijtaart in 1998. In 2004 I move to 's-Hertogenbosch for one year, where we desided to buy a house in Sint-Oedenrode. In 2010 we got the opion to built a new house in Sint-Oedenrode, therefor we had to sell our house and move to Zijtaart again temporarily. 1st of January 2012 our new house got finished and we move back to Sint-Oedenrode to stay forever.
The main communities in Northern Brabant are: Eindhoven, Tilburg (two municipalities with more than 200,000 inhabitants), Breda (more than 175,000) and 's-Hertogenbosch (140,000). The first three belong to the top ten nationally : Eindhoven (the fifth municipality of the Netherlands, Tilburg (6th municipality of the Netherlands) and Breda (9th municipality of the Netherlands), 's-Hertogenbosch following distance as the 18th municipality of the Netherlands. following these big four is five cities with a population of 50,000 to 100,000, in descending order: Helmond, Roosendaal, Oss, Bergen op Zoom and Oosterhout.
All these cities are also leading in the development of Dutch industry, and are also in the "Brabant city", a combination of the Brabant cities together with suburbs. Together count the nine largest cities mentioned therein have 1.1 million inhabitants. They may in this respect be called a metropolis. Among planners, this area is also known as the "Sand City Brabant", as an allusion to the name Randstad for the urbanized west of the Netherlands. The area is including many smaller cities such Schijndel, Waalwijk, Boxtel, Dongen , Goirle, Oisterwijk, Vught, Geldrop, Heeze, Etten-Leur, Uden, Veghel and Veldhoven, while more peripheral, various places of more than 25,000 inhabitants are like Deurne.
The name Brabant is derived from Braecbant. This is a combination of braec, that means pants or marshy land, and bans, which means region.
Until the 17th century, a large part of the area that is now the province of North Brabant constitutes part of the Duchy of Brabant, of which the largest part is now in Belgium. In the 14th and 15th centuries experienced Brabant Golden Age. In particular, this applied to the cities of Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven, Breda and 's-Hertogenbosch.
Following the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1579, Singapore became the subject of struggle between the Protestant Republic of the Seven United Netherlands and Catholic Spain that occupied the Southern Netherlands. With the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 was the northern part of Brabant part of the Republic, it was designated as a State-Brabant.
Attempts by the Republic to the people of Brabant Protestant failed to make, and Brabant functioned mainly as colony and military buffer zone. In this period Brabant systematically financially stripped by the Republic, leaving economic development barely existed. Because the vast majority of the population was Catholic, Brabant was not as full, eighth province to the Republic allowed. The Catholics in the Republic of Brabant were restricted in their practice and belief, this arose many hidden churches.
In 1795 the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, the Batavian Republic, which the Catholics acknowledged as equal citizens and which Generality Country Staats-Brabant became a province, called Batavian Brabant. This situation ended during the French rule when the area was divided over several departments.
After the fall of Napoleon in 1815, at the Congress of Vienna states that include the Austrian Netherlands and the former Batavian Republic were merged into the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. The whole area of the ancient Duchy of Brabant was now in a state united. It was divided into three provinces: North Brabant, Antwerp and South Brabant (with Brussels and Leuven). North Brabant was on that occasion extended with some pieces of Holland (the areas south of the Moerdijk and the Merwede) and the former glories Megen, Boxmeer, Gemert and Ravenstein.
During the Belgian Revolution in 1830 there existed among the population of the 90% Catholic North Brabant have some sympathy for the Belgian case, but remained within the limits and the manifestations thereof by the Dutch authorities could without much difficulty be suppressed.
From the end of the 19th century the province more and more industrialized. Textiles produced in Tilburg and Helmond, while Eindhoven became the fifth city in the Netherlands thanks to Philips and DAF. Former small towns grew so rapidly into new industrial cities. Breda and 's-Hertogenbosch were known as historical centers like old garrison towns of Brabant, witness the many barracks that both municipalities hostels. In addition, also in Bergen op Zoom an old garrison town with a monumental historical core.

This commentary originally appeared Dec. 19 on Real Money Pro -- Click here to learn about this dynamic market information service for active traders.NEW YORK ( RealMoney) -- A quiet start to what should be a quiet week. Of course, what should happen and what actually does happen could end up being two very different things. If any year seems like a good bet for the market to have a volatile holiday week, it would be this one. However, I don't believe it will happen. The Market Volatility Index (VIX) still resides in a state of contango, even though the December futures finish trading Tuesday afternoon.

Unable to break the stand-off over Twenty20 Champions League with the ECB, BCCI Vice-President Lalit Modi has made it clear that the tournament would be played in India. The tournament will commence a day after the Champions trophy concludes, from September 29 to October 8 at three venues - Jaipur, New Delhi and Mohali. Modi also said England cricketers were unlikely to feature in the tournament as their Board was unreasonably objecting to various rules and regulations, the ban on ICL players, the share-holding pattern and profit-sharing formula. With England participation in doubt, Pakistan has been convinced to replace them in the League, which was originally scheduled to feature top two Twenty20 domestic teams from India, Australia, South Africa and England. A team from Sri Lanka or New Zealand could fill the slot if Twenty20 champions Middlesex choose don't participate. The details of the tournament, would be finalised in Mumbai on Wednesday at a meeting to be attended by officials from the BCCI, Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Cricket Australia (CA) but England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will go unrepresented. "We are going ahead with the tournament whether England joins up or not," Modi said. "South Africa and Australia are fully on board with the various rules and regulations but the ECB is being unreasonable and continues to have objections to issues like the shareholding pattern and the governing structure. But we can't wait any longer and we are going ahead. It's now up to the ECB to decide whether it wants to join us or not," he said. Modi's statement came after the English press reported that the ECB was finalising a "rival" Champions League, to be held in Abu Dhabi.

Chichi Spruel and Derick Spruel say they were with two people when the shootings occurred, killing one and injuring the other. The lawsuit says theater owners knew about previous crimes and failed to take action.
According to KMGH-TV ( http://tinyurl.com/ajyfm9r), the company says it could not have foreseen the mass shooting that left 12 people dead and 70 injured last July.
A judge has ordered James Holmes to stand trial on 166 counts related to his allegedly opening fire in the theater with multiple weapons during a midnight premier of "The Dark Knight Rises."
Holmes is scheduled to enter a plea March 12.

There will also be increase in interactivity on its Neopets site via a new virtual world called World of Neopia. A paid tier to Nicktropolis is also expected. Nicktropolis is the overall virtual world divided into sections for each Nickelodeon show and property.
The new worlds will be developed out of Nickelodeon Kids and Family Group's Virtual World Studios (formerly titled NeoStudios, announced in July 2007), which will develop virtual destinations for kids, tweens, teens and families each year, while continuing to innovate upon the company's existing virtual worlds.
The SpongeBob, Monkey World and Neopia will also have paid tiers, although there is no word on how much they would charge.
The news is timed to the Virtual Worlds Conference this week in New York and will help Nickelodeon compete with the increasing Disney family of sites. Disney recently acquired Club Penguin (which also charges for subscriptions) and launched Toontown Online to target online-savvy children.
Steve Youngwood, executive VP of digital Media at Nickelodeon, told THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER it will be difficult to launch a new brand like Monkey World:"Now a virtual world is putting its foot out there as another viable medium, not just to extend brands but to create brands," he said.
However, if the online worlds succeed, it would position Nickelodeon as a key player in digital media, generating revenue from subscriptions and advertising.
"For our audiences, virtual worlds are the convergence of gaming, entertainment and community online, and by announcing these new worlds, we are ensuring that our content pipeline is going to remain fresh and vibrant," Youngwood said. "We are very fortunate to have a digital production studio that, like our linear animation studio in Burbank, will be dedicated to creating great new content experiences for our audiences both with our existing brands and properties and new, original ones."
Neopets alone has 45 million registered users. Nick parent company Viacom acquired the site several years ago and considers it a success.
Additionally, Nickelodeon Kids and Family Group will continue to evolve and add innovative experiences to its current virtual worlds. Over the next few months, the Nicktropolis will add new environments such as a comic book store, pirate ship themed area and another centered on the new Nickelodeon series THE MIGHTY B, from co-creators Amy Poehler (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE), Cynthia True (THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS) and Emmy and Annie-nominated storyboard artist and writer, Erik Wiese. A regionalized version of Nicktropolis will also launch in the U.K. in April.
In other Internet news, Paramount Digital Entertainment announced today they will extend their popular VooZoo application to MTV Networks' vMTV virtual world and Makena's There.com.
Paramount, MTV and Nickelodeon are all owned by Viacom.
This marks the first movie studio to partner with There.com and underscores Paramount Pictures' commitment to making famous scenes from its most popular movies available to users in social environments and on wireless devices.
With VooZoo, vMTV and There.com members can send each other video emoticons called "Voohoos," which are made up of video clips from Paramount Pictures' library that last from a few seconds and capture the most famous one-liners from a gamut of movies including classics like FOOTLOOSE, FLASHDANCE and BEVERLY HILLS COP to mainstream favorites including MEAN GIRLS, CLUELESS and ZOOLANDER.
Members of both worlds will be able to purchase the clips for about $1 each and use them when chatting with other members just as they would use other emoticons such as "smile", "lol" (laugh out loud), or "twist" (a dance move).
Instead of just quoting lines from pop-culture icons like Cher Horowitz (CLUELESS) or Ferris Bueller (FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF), members can actually express themselves with the actual movie clip, which plays in a small window above their head.
While There's library of literally hundreds of emotes is already one of its most popular features, the ability to incorporate the "complete" multimedia experience of these iconic moments will take it to a whole new level, arguably one of the few that can't be easily reproduced in real life.
"We are very focused on giving consumers premier choices from our catalogue of movies that goes way beyond a passive experience," states Derek Broes, senior vice president of new business development, Paramount Digital Entertainment. "VooZoo allows consumers to differentiate themselves from one another by which characters and lines they choose to express their thoughts during virtual conversations."
Over time, thousands of movie clips from Paramount Pictures' library will be made available to There.com members. All of the movie clips offered will comply with There.com's PG-13 environment. Consumers will also have the opportunity to purchase a DVD via a sell-through capability that will pop up once a video clip is selected.
In addition, MTV Networks will offer clips reflecting the best pop-culture moments from its extensive stable of hit shows. The VooZoo application is currently in private beta in There.com and will be available some time in Q2 in vMTV.
"vMTV marries the great programming of television with the unparalleled interactivity of the Internet," said Jeff Yapp, Executive Vice President of Program Enterprises for MTV Networks. "With the VooZoo application, our audience can have an even deeper level of engagement with the popular major-motion picture and television franchises they love."
"There.com is all about social interaction and self-expression. Your avatar can already dance, talk, run, jump and drive a buggy and the addition of video movie clips takes social interaction to another level," said Michael Wilson, CEO of Makena Technologies. "Rather than repeat a movie quote when talking with friends, our members can use the actual movie clip, allowing them to share their thoughts and feelings in a richer, more engaging way."
VooZoo in vMTV and There.com marks the third migration of the application onto multiple platforms since its debut on Facebook last month. Earlier this week, Paramount Mobile Entertainment, a division of Paramount Digital Entertainment, announced the launch of VooZoo Mobile, further demonstrating themselves as a studio leading the charge in the creation of digital solutions for short form content.

Cities and Citizenship
Education and participation, the subjects of the preceding chapters, are of obvious importance to the attempt to promote republican-liberal citizenship. A less obvious but no less important subject is the city: the site or context in which citizenship historically has been thought to develop. Nor is the city important only for its historical connections to citizenship. For better or worse, urbanism is apparently becoming the way of life of more and more people around the world. If republican liberalism is to prove a plausible and persuasive theory of politics, it must attend to cities as well as citizenship.
My purpose in this chapter is to sketch the outlines of a republicanliberal conception of the city. Part of this sketch will focus on the obstacles that contemporary cities place in the way of conditional altruism and active, public-spirited citizenship; another part will suggest some steps that might be taken to remove or overcome these obstacles. But first I want to indicate what the republican-liberal conception of the city will not be.
To begin with, republican liberals cannot simply accept today's sprawling metropolis as the ideal city. In this respect they differ, once again, from those liberals who regard politics as merely another form of market activity. According to the market view, the metropolitan complex consisting of a central city surrounded by a profusion of suburbs is an efficient arrangement that responds to the preferences of "citizen-consumers." Much as a cafeteria provides a wide variety of foods to satisfy diverse tastes, so the proliferating municipalities of metropolis offer a wide variety of services and amenities from which mobile citizens (in the legal sense) may choose when they are deciding on a place of residence. As Charles Tiebout explains the point, "the consumer-voter moves to the community whose local government best satisfies his set of preferences. The greater the number of communities and the greater the variety among them, the closer the community will come to fully realizing his preference position." 1
From the standpoint of republican liberalism, the problem with this cafeteria or shopping-mall conception of metropolis is that it undermines both

PATTANI, Dec 13 – Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Thursday met representatives of Thailand's southern teachers to give them moral support and listen to their concerns as teachers have recently become primary targets for being killed by insurgents.
After chairing a meeting of agencies concerned at Pattani provincial hall, Ms Yingluck, Deputy Prime Minister/Education Minister Phongthep Thepkanchana, PM's advisor Gen Yuthasak Sasiprapa, and army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha met 20 teachers representing educators in the three southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat.

From Survey to Screengem
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times (not quite the worst, but you get the idea).
Our program today veers between the lighthearted and the harder edges of our society.
We start with a new poll (pdf) by New America Media. Polls are always controversial and subject to debate, but we found this one so interesting we felt we had to bring it to you. It's about how African Americans, Latinos and Asians see each OTHER (as well as whites). The pollsters believe it is the first of its kind to ask these groups these questions in this way. It's multilingual. People were interviewed in their language of choice — whether English, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese or Tagalong. I cannot possibly summarize all the findings here, but the poll found that each of these groups — black, so-called "brown" and "yellow" — have some very negative attitudes about each other and very different views about race. Large majorities of blacks and Hispanics think racial tension is a real problem in this country; only 37 percent of Asians thought so. Asked whether they would EVER vote for an African American for president, 37 percent of Asians said ... no, they wouldn't.
And nearly half of all Hispanics and Asians said they are afraid of blacks because they are responsible for the majority of crime (I am assuming they didn't mean securities fraud, predatory lending and Enron, but I digress) and nearly half of all blacks said they feel threatened by Latin immigrants.
On the other hand, significant numbers of all groups pushed back against the negative attitudes. And all the groups expressed optimism about the future relations of these groups. Go figure. What does it all mean? We couldn't possibly sort it all out so we made a start. If you have a minute, read the poll for yourself, see what you think, and see if you see areas for further discussion. AND, if you'd like to take part ... the wonder of radio. If we can get you to a telephone we can get you involved in the discussion.
The Perfect Holiday! The Queen, Latifah, was in the house along with her crew from the new film. It opens today, we had a lot of fun. They stopped by last week so we couldn't keep the love to ourselves. We invited an in-studio audience of NPR folks and friends. Enjoy it! We even had snow for their arrival ... it was so Christmassy!

Regarding the discussion on race relations (12/12), I was a bit annoyed that an Indian (Vijay Prashad) was given the opportunity to comment. When will a sure enough BLACK person get a chance? You know, the person who is presumed to be a shoplifter JUST BECAUSE HE/SHE IS BLACK; the person who is presume unqualified JUST BECAUSE HE/SHE IS BLACK. The darker one's complexion, the more likely one is to experience prejudice. Every other race knows that supporting and promoting negative stereotypes about Blacks is the best way to curry favor with Whites.
The truth is that ALL races feel that the worse thing to be is a Black person. The darker you are the more vile you will be thought to be. Even Black people believe this. That's why we kill each other over nothing, abuse our bodies with drugs, infect each other with deadly diseases (HIV/AIDS), commit crimes against each other, don't support each other, and on and on.
Racists and White Supremacists have accomplished their mission: Blacks are in self-destruct mode and too many of us don't even care enough to do anything about our demise as a race.
I really liked the interview with the cast of The Perfect Holiday. That was very well done.
I really don't know what it reflects about me or America when I say I was not surprised by the poll numbers from New America Media. I just wish more time was spent discussing the issues yesterday . . . I mean less than 13 minutes given to the segment were barely enough to scratch the surface about America's critical race issue that dominated this year's headlines and the Presidential campaigns.
Other than that, I enjoyed the segment immensely. I agree with one of your guests, Vijay Praschard about his theory that most immigrants don't think they've experienced racism but consider Americans as rude. I laughed out loud when he talked about some Indians and other cultures feeling the need to change their names.
As a first generation American-born individual in my family with a unique name, I have to nativigate among a few cultures. Over five years ago, in my professional world, I was introduced to a new employee who was black by my then boss. We exchanged pleasantries and that was that, until a few hours later when I got a rude awakening. I walked into the lunch room to get a cup of tea where the said new employee was having lunch with another colleague. The new employee asked me if there was another name I was called other than "Moji." I asked him what he meant because I was really surprised by the question. He said "Well "Moji" is not your typical American name like a "Charlie" or "Mary" . . .so I just want to know if you prefer been called another name." I looked at him silent for a few seconds as I stirred sugar in my tea. Then I replied "you know Mr. J-, you're right my name is not a typical American name, but so are some of your Black American names like Laquisha, Sheniqua and Moeshas. I believe if you could say those, you could call me "Moji." Mr. J- was speechless and my other colleague almost choked on his food from laughing on my way out.
Michel Martin, & "Tell Me More", thanks for doing the piece on inter-ethnic relations. I live in the Bay Area & was shocked by the Asian columnist who wrote the article "Why I Hate Blacks". It created a firestorm of protest from the Black community here in San Francisco & the greater Bay Area.
I have to say, I was taken aback by his article, but down deep, I knew he was expressing what many Asians harbored about African Americans. These things are unspoken for the most part, but they are "FELT", by many
African American folks, when dealing with Asians (not all) but far too many for my comfort zone...
I applaud the New American Media for doing this ground breaking survey, & "Tell Me More" for giving it some "Air Time"; which I feel it would take several shows to really do the subject justice. Which I hope you & "Tell Me More" will consider doing.
In fact this has been an issue close to my heart ... for many years now. I felt that there needed to be a dialogue between African Americans, Latinos & Asian Americans on how we see & relate to one another. It would
be great if the dialogue/survey could have included Arab Americans & Native Americans, who we seem to have forgotten , "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind", so to speak. Well, hopefully they will be included in the next survey.
I remember when than, President Bill Clinton was doing his "Town Hall Meetings On Race", the subject of how minorities viewed each other surfaced in one of the meetings, only to be given scant attention before they where back with the Black white divide &discussion; I was sorely disappointed!
One would think, that the San Francisco Bay Aera would be quite evolved when it comes to multiculral relations; I've attended many workshops over the years dealing with multicultural themes, only to be left with, what was that about? They are usually the same old tired exercises, that
only scratch the surface, for everyone is trying to be at their political correctness best, for to speak the truth would be too scary for most, that attend these workshops. So in essence, I find them to be just
"Feel Good Sessions", with a "Big Group Hug" at the end! Every one seems to busy tip toeing around the issue's for any real meanful dialogue to take place.
Hopefully with the help of this survey, we can begin to have a real honest, open discussion, on what divides us & ultimately what can heal us & bring us together. Their is hope yet!
This is why I hate polls sometimes. Who did they ask? I think we all are prejudice and have our own quiet thoughts, no matter how fair we are or try to be. I am not anymore afraid of Blacks than I am any other race. If anything I am afraid of men. So if I am ever in the car of a parking lot and a man walks by, especially if he is not dressed well (clean clothing) then I am going to lock my doors. If you so happen to be black oh well, but the same goes for white, Asian, Hispanic, or any other race. I am a women and there are bad people out there and I need to be precautious.
As far as this pole and peoples perceptions we have no one to blame but images that have been instilled in us for centuries. First of all, since white people first came to this land, they have always depicted every other race as dirty, violent, and worthless. Indians, Blacks, Asains, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, and anyone else, especially if they are brown, won???t and don???t measure up to Whites in their opinion. But even before this country was this diverse, they did it to other whites, Italians, Irish, etc. The only difference now, is that with so much diversity, they have to have a team???blacks have been most different from these other races so this idea and image of them can be found around the world as well as within our own country.
But these images don???t do anything but make matters worse. They become self perpetuating. And breaking away from them can be very difficult, as we see in this pole. I am Puerto Rican, I have run into my fair share of Puerto Rican people who for some reason see Blacks in the same image as many other white racists. What makes this so hard to believe is that, if it were not for blacks, what has become our culture could not be possible without them. Sadly, who we are as a people, to which we are very proud of, could not have been without the slave trade. And on top of that, some Puerto Ricans may feel as if they are better, but when it comes down to it, those same racists, won???t be able to find much difference between us and blacks. Yup, all ya???ll Hispanics who are on this high horse, come off it because many people look at us in the same light as blacks.
These polls just prove that, whites, have been successful in playing us against each other, thus keeping us from coming together and being stronger as a whole.
***I speak of the closed minded, racist, whites. I know it???s not all of them.

Ray on the left, NoRey on the right. Extreme locavore chef Lou Kohl of East King County's fictitious Dirt Farm was exposed a couple weeks
Ray on the left, NoRey on the right.Extreme locavore chef Lou Kohl of East King County's fictitious Dirt Farm was exposed a couple weeks ago as being a satirical figment of a shameless writer's imagination. Yet that hasn't stopped Kohl's real-life spokesmodel (avatar?), NoRey frontman Alejandro Garcia, from scheduling numerous public appearances for his coke-snorting, bull-murdering alter ego, including a Vanna White role at last week's Voracious Tasting & Food Awards at the Paramount.
On Monday morning, Kohl appeared on Marty Riemer's podcast to discuss his culinary adventures. Also scheduled to appear was musician Shawn Smith, of Brad and Satchel fame. But due to a calendar mixup, Smith didn't make it. So it was a good thing Kohl brought his guitar.
A native Wisconsinite, Kohl explained that he acquired his South American accent from the many Latino servants who worked the grounds of his department-store tycoon family's estate. Throughout his interview with Riemer, Kohl was curt, deadpan and unintentionally hilarious, staring at Riemer with a face of stone when the KMTT disc jockey compared him physically to the ultra-serious, hirsute singer Ray LaMontagne.
But it turns out Kohl has more in common with LaMontagne than looks alone. Absent Smith, Kohl offered to play a pair of songs from his favorite band, NoRey. The results were as if the lead singer of NoRey were playing himself (which, in actuality, he was), further explaining his smoldering relationship with Grammy-winning jazz chanteuse Esperanza Spalding, of whom Kohl remarked: "She definitely knows how to use her fingers properly." Listen for yourself (start around the 23-minute mark to skip the chatter):

- Great working cap gun Review by Buck Owens
Price Value Quality
Trigger action is very good, solid weight, good construction except the plastic stock handle is a little shaky. It is a full size replica pistol, not some 5 inch dinky cap gun, overall very pleased.

I just watched that movie Juno for the first time and I truely hate it ... I just don't like it at all and it pissed me off that pregnancy was taken so lightly ... maybe I am just being werid and misunderstood the movie.
I would never watch this movie again
I still can't believe that I am a mother of 5 ... it's hard at times but so worth every moment of it and wouldn't change it for the world
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Juno.
ALI: 20, Obama lovin, agnostic, loving partner to Jeremy, college student, FTM to Miss Presley, 6.4.2009.
3 fur babies: Reggie, Zeke, & ^Lincoln^.
I loved the movie! I didn't think that they were taking the issue of pregnancy lightly. Did the parents blow up and make Juno feel worthless? No. Did they allow her to come to terms with her own decision? Yes. They loved and supported her.
Danielle- Mom to 3!
"Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference. ~unknown
I agree with above, I loved it for the same reasons, it wasn't a rosey you got pregnant and you and the baby live happily and easily ever after.
Now, Knocked Up! I HATED!!!! How often does the random jerk that knocked you up give up all his pot and loser friends to fall in love with you? Um, NEVER! I hated that the movie didn't empower her more to not want his loser arse!
I think this movie was a postive movie on an outlook of teen pregnancy....it showed compassion and even set an example that teens do have a choice to think there actions through and do what they thnk is right. Also i like that hollywood decided to let juno be a kid again, there are kids that dont make that choice and end up losing the joys of the teen yrs. Plus the soundtrack rocked...
I guess I just misunderstood the movie but I really didn't like it.
I still can't believe that I am a mother of 5 ... it's hard at times but so worth every moment of it and wouldn't change it for the world
I loved that movie! I did not think that the issue of pregnancy was taken lightly at all! They portrayed a teenager that was mature enough to make the decision that was best for her, and a family that was supportive of her decision. Real life may not always work out like that, but hey, it's a movie!
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle. -Gloria Steinem
I think Juno and Knocked Up were both hilarious!

The author studies the title problem by using the fourth-order degenerate diffusion equation $h_t+ \nabla(f(h)\nabla \Delta h)= 0$, where $h$ is the thickness of the liquid film, and $f(h)$ is a prescribed function related to the solution-dependent diffusion coefficient, $f(h)\to 0$ as $h\to 0$. First, a special discussion is devoted to the finite-time singularities and similarity solutions of a particular one-dimensional equation $h_t+ (h^n h_{xxx})_x= 0$. Then the author examines weak solutions of the general equation which correspond to various constitutive laws for moving contact lines (Young's law, Greenspan-McKay law, van der Walls and superdiffusion models).

It's with this in mind that I've assembled this sample itinerary for one month in China, which spotlights must-see places in China and also, some that you might not have considered for your first trip to the Middle Kingdom.
Need help planning your trip to China? Hire me as your travel coach!
Shanghai is China's most Western city and is also home to one of its largest international airports. These facts, combined with the lack of historical things to do and see in the immediate vicinity of Shanghai, make the city a great place to get your bearings in advance of your month in China.
History be damned, however, there are a lot of modern things to do and see in Shanghai. Take the Shanghai Metro to Lujiazui station and walk around in the futuristic district of the same name, which literally means "east side of the Huangpu River." Cross back over the water and walk along the 1920s-era Bund, which provides great views of one of the most modern skylines in the world.
Dig deeper into Puxi (the name for the west side of the Huangpu River), whether you can explore People's Square and the Shanghai Museum, shop and eat street food along East Nanjing Road, stroll through the historic French Concession or see one of the only "old" structures in Shanghai, Jing'an Temple.
I recommend spending between 2-3 days of your month in China in Shanghai. Depending on how closely you follow the remainder of my suggested itinerary, other things to see and do near Shanghai are the cities of Hangzhou and Suzhou, the ancient "water town" of Zhujiajiao and the Anji Bamboo Forest, where the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed.
Beijing and the Great Wall
One reason I recommend making Beijing the second stop of your month in China is that, quite frankly, it's ugly, dirty and difficult to navigate. It's sprawled out, too, and although it has a large metro system, it is decidedly more difficult to figure out than Shanghai, something you'll notice as soon as you disembark from your overnight train into the chaos of Beijing.
Beijing is also chock full of things to do, being that it's essentially cross-section of China's entire history. Most peoples' first stop is at the Forbidden City and Tian'anmen Square, two structures whose close physical proximity to one another belies the worldviews they represent.
To continue along a historical trajectory, visit sites such as Lama Temple and the impossible grand Summer Palace, or simply explore Beijing's traditional Hutong houses near Houhai Lake.
Or, to explore Beijing's post-communist side, traipse through the grounds of the 2008 Summer Olympics (namely, the Bird's Nest Stadium), or walk through Beijing's financial districts of Chaoyang and Xicheng.
Of course, the most famous attraction in the Beijing vicinity isn't in Beijing but rather, in the mountains just outside the city. Obviously, I'm speaking about The Great Wall of China. The wall is absolutely massive and has many sections you can visit. I personally recommend visiting Simatai, although many tourists go to Badaling, which is accessible by train.
Overall, I recommend spending 5-7 days of your one month in China in Beijing and its vicinity. If you have additional time, you could take an excursion to the coastal city of Tianjin
The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival
Another easy side trip from Beijing, if you come in winter anyway this is, is to the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival. The epitome of a winter wonderland, it takes place during January and February, when temperatures in the Manchurian city dip as many as 30º below zero – Fahrenheit and Celsius, at times!
OK, I guess maybe "easy" isn't the right word – you'll need to prepare yourself extensively for travel in the extreme cold, both in terms of gear as well as your mental state. But in my mind it's all worth it: One month in China – let alone one human lifetime – wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival.
Xi'an and the Terracotta Warriors
Like Beijing from Shanghai, the city of Xi'an is a quick overnight train ride away after you finish exploring China's current capital. I say "current" capital because Xi'an, too, was once China's capital.
Xi'an is an often overlooked but completely fascinating addition to any one month in China itinerary, for several reasons. First and foremost, the city's orientation (relatively) far to the west means it's infused with Chinese Muslim (Xinjiang) culture and, most deliciously, the food. After you spend an afternoon and evening wandering through the Muslim Quarter, spend the next morning walking around the old City Wall, which provides great views of the iconic Bell Tower.
The most famous attraction of Xi'an and vicinity is without a doubt the Terracotta Warriors, located about an hour away from the city by bus. Dating back to the time of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, the warriors have made their way around the world, but are best seen in their proverbial native habitat.
Overall, I recommend spending 2-4 days of your one month in China in Xi'an and its vicinity.
Chengdu and Sichuan Province
Hop a flight from Xi'an to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, to begin the next leg of your month in China. Huge and (increasingly) rich, but without the international recognition of Beijing or Shanghai, Chengdu is a city waiting to be discovered.
Chengdu is most famous, both internationally and within China, for its cuisine, which centers around the mouth-numbing Sichuan pepper. Whether you stroll along Jin Li Street in central Chengdu, or visit Yu's Family Kitchen, an iconic restaurant that prepares a 33-course Sichuan menu for you in your own private dining room, spicy food is all around.
Chengdu and its vicinity are also home to most of the remaining Chinese pandas, the bulk of whom live at Chengdu Panda Base just outside the city limits. A visit to the base not only gives you the opportunity to visit with pandas of all ages, but an informative insight into the past and present of the panda – and why its future is likely bleak.
Overall, I recommend spending 2-4 days of your month in China in the Chengdu area, extending to between 5-8 days if you explore the hiking on offer in rural Sichuan province, such as Mt. Emei or Qing Cheng Shan, which I tried (but spectacularly failed) to scale.
Using the Internet in Mainland China
Before I get to Hong Kong – which really, 1997 handover notwithstanding, has very little to do with China in any way – I should discuss with you one thing you're going to find hard to deal with: The Internet in mainland China, or lack thereof.
The West says it's due to censorship, the Chinese government say it's to help Chinese companies compete, but irrespective of the real reason, you're going to have a difficult (i.e. impossible) time visiting Facebook, Twitter, et al while in China, unless you download a VPN client (such as ExpressVPN) that masks your IP address and allows you to access these domains.
TIP: Download and install your VPN before traveling to China to prevent Internet service interruptions.
Hong Kong
Depending on how far into your month in China you are by the time you finish up in Chengdu, or if you have a little extra time to spare, I recommend taking a side trip to Hong Kong. Although most people on both sides of this "Special Administrative Region" would concede that Hong Kong isn't excessively Chinese, it's a great epilogue to any China trip.
After flying to Hong Kong (or, if you're on a budget, taking a cheaper domestic flight to Shenzhen, then crossing by land into the SAR), stay at one of the budget guest houses at Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, then take the Hong Kong Ferry over to Hong Kong Island and get to exploring.
Walk up through the Mid Levels, past the Hong Kong Zoo and to Victoria Peak, or head back to Kowloon and get lost in Cantonese street food or shopping in Mong Kok. Or, explore some of Hong Kong's more traditional sights, from the Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden in Kowloon, to the Big Buddha of Lantau Island, near the airport.
I recommend spending 3-5 days in Hong Kong although, truth be told, you could spend much longer there if you really wanted to.

LOVE the Pantone collection gotta get some ASAP....that light blue and white always looks good together
February 21, 2012 BY John Kim / 9
The final bid price of the Air Jordan XI 'Blackout' opened up the woodworks for eBay auctions of Air Jordan samples, with sellers hoping to cash in on the AJ Sample craze set. The 'Pantone' samples are another trending topic there on Sneaker News, with the Air Jordan X and XI Pantone samples garnering a ton of deserved attention, but does this Air Jordan IX stay on par? Let us remind you that a similar colorway of the Air Jordan IX released – the Air Jordan IX 'For The Love Of The Game' of 2010. That particular pair featured a similar White/Blue upper, but with a white patent leather mudguard that stretched up the the ankle. Of course, these Pantone samples a far rarer and should fetch a premium should it become available as a true auction, but to see what the listed price for this pair is, check out the auction from digioaux on eBay.

LOVE the Pantone collection gotta get some ASAP....that light blue and white always looks good together
they're ugly anyways
these are better than the FTLOTG ones in all aspects except the tongue
What is the meaning of PANTONE? Why is it named PANTONE? need help.
I like the FTLOG better than this 1 but for the rest of the pantones theyre just sick
they are gonna keep teasing us..
If these weren't so damn high I'd consider making an offer.
Pantone is a company that specializes in paint matching systems (like those cards you see at Home Depot with all the paint samples on them). Every year they come up with a "Pantone color of the year." The year that JB made the "Pantone" line, this specific shade of blue was Pantone's color of the year.
Thank you very much for your help!

Policy would require board members to forward complaints to school employees
Published: Sunday, January 5, 2014 at 5:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 5, 2014 at 5:08 p.m.
Members of the New Hanover County school board will soon handle complaints or questions in a more hands-off manner.
What: New Hanover County Board of Education meeting and policy committee meeting
When: 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 7
Where: 1805 S. 13th St.
The school board policy committee, which meets Tuesday, will consider a new policy that would require board members to refer complaints or questions to a school district employee instead of handling the inquiry themselves.
Board members should refer the person making the complaint to a district official, the school board attorney or the superintendent, the policy reads. They should also "refrain from forming or stating opinions concerning complaints that involve the conduct or performance of employees or students because board members may later be asked to serve on a hearing panel concerning the matter."
Board members hear many questions and concerns from parents and community members, said policy committee chairwoman Jeannette Nichols, and this policy ensures that they're all handled the same way.
"I just thought, we don't have any kind of policy like that, and we need some guidance, something in place so we all follow protocol," she said.
Nichols said she'd gotten many calls from parents about former New Hanover High School Principal Todd Finn, both supporting him and with complaints about his leadership.
For the parents with complaints, "I would always suggest that they go back to the principal and work with him," she said. "I didn't take it upon myself."
Board chairman Don Hayes said most of the complaints he hears have to do with day-to-day operations, such as a problem in a particular classroom or with a bus route. Hayes said he always recommended to parents to speak with the appropriate people at the school and in the central office to get the problem solved, but to call him if they still weren't satisfied after that.
The policy committee will review the new complaint policy before it goes before the full board.
The policy committee will also look at a third version of the district's grievance procedure, which policy committee members and school officials have been working since November to update. The goal of the new policy is to give employees a clearer picture of what can and cannot be grieved and how the procedure should progress.
The full school board will also discuss Tuesday whether to approve a contract between the district and the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office to fund school resource officers for the rest of the school year.
The school district decided in April to spread 11 sheriff's deputies among the county's 25 elementary schools for extra protection after the December 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Before, the district split two school resource officers among the county's elementary schools.
For the first half of 2013, each elementary school got its own officer, but district officials stressed that this was only a temporary measure.
In December, New Hanover schools received funding from a state grant for eight of those officers. School districts that received a portion of the $7 million statewide grant were required to put up $1 for every $2 from the state.
The new contract, which will run from January through June, includes the grant funding and additional local funding to pay for the remaining three officers, said New Hanover Deputy Superintendent Rick Holliday.

The rest of the game was quite close with the Saints outscoring the Colonels by a mere two points. Trinity won the game despite Copiah Academy's Josh Cook knocking down seven 3-pointers as he led five Colonels players in double figures with 23 points.
The Saints also got a solid performance on the boards from Sky Logan, who pulled down 11 rebounds to go with his five points.
Trinity Episcopal (11-5) will be on the road next Tuesday night in its MAIS District 5-AA opener when it takes on Columbia Academy.
Ferriday 49, Lakeside 39
SIBLEY, La. — Brandon Scott led all scorers with 23 points and DaJohn Mitchell added 10 points to lead the Ferriday Trojans past the Lakeside Warriors in an LHSAA District 2-2A game Friday night.
Ferriday's defense in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference. The Trojans were only up by four points after three quarters of play before outscoring Lakeside 11-5 in the final eight minutes. Frankie Myles led the Warriors with 12 points.
Ferriday (7-10, 2-1) plays at Jonesboro-Hodge next Tuesday night.
Jefferson County 65, Wilkinson County 53
WOODVILLE — Ry'Ale Brown led all scorers with 33 points and Jamel Anderson added nine points to lead the Jefferson County Tigers past the Wilkinson County Wildcats Friday night in a key MHSAA Region 7-3A game for both teams.
Jefferson County had a 12-10 lead over Wilkinson County after one quarter of play before the Tigers put up 22 points in the second quarter as they took a 34-26 lead over the Wildcats into halftime.
The Tigers then put away the Wildcats with a 19-13 advantage in the fourth quarter. The outcome of this game put both teams at 11-9 overall and 3-1 in region play.
Avoyelles 58, Vidalia 56
MOREAUVILLE, La. — Fred Scott scored 16 points while D.J. Turner and Derrick Lair had 12 points apiece as the Avoyelles Mustangs rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat the Vidalia Vikings in an LHSAA District 3-3A game Friday night.
Both teams got off to a slow start and the first quarter ended in a 6-6 tie. Avoyelles then led at halftime 30-22 before Vidalia outscored the Mustangs 16-7 in the third quarter for a 38-37 lead. Unfortunately for the Vikings, they were not able to hold on to their lead as the Mustangs outscored them 21-18 in the fourth quarter.
Vidalia (2-2 in district) was led by Deion Brown with 15 points and Terrell Virgis with 14 points. The Vikings host Marksville Tuesday night.
Block 52, St. Mary's 37
NATCHITOCHES, La. — Dorian Bowman had 16 points and Trevor Vault added 11 points to lead the Block Bears past the St. Mary's Tigers Friday night to remain undefeated in LHSAA District 4-1A.
Block's defense held St. Mary's to single-digit scoring in three of the four quarters. The Bears led the Tigers 13-6 after one quarter of play and 29-19 at halftime. St. Mary's tried to get back in the game in the third quarter, but Block responded with a 16-9 advantage in the fourth quarter.
St. Mary's was led by Blake Teskell, who had a game-high 23 points.
Block (8-12, 3-0) plays at LaSalle Tuesday night.
