Video: Glee's Sue Sylvester rails against 'sneaky gays'

This is just superb, it hits the nail on the head. I love the Sue Silvester character.
"… because if I can't tell who's gay, how will I know who to judge?"
Hilarious and spot on.
Who's to say there weren't straight-acting gay types back in the days of Oscar Wilde. If they blended in without being too obviously flamboyantly gay, then of course we're not aware of them nowadays, doesn't mean there weren't around though. Hardly a 'modern' phenomenon.
Hey, we are EVERYWHERE, even in the most unexpected places!
Its hard to tell weather to laugh or just hold my head above all the lame 1950's logic stereotypes that people still seem to think are relevant, I guess we gotta take it in stride.
Being Gay is just one of those things you can still stab at with horrible humor but at the same time I doubt a show like that could get away with making fun of any other "groups" unless they are not centered around any religion or race pretty much.
I don't really know where im going with this honestly, it seems like one of those shows I would be too embarrassed to watch or even be around anyone while its playing (if only for that episode)
I want Sue Sylvester to train me.
I've gotten a wee bit unfit lately.
I think she could sort me out.
She reminds me of Iris Robinson.
I'm no longer a teenager so she probably wouldn't fancy me. But I reckon she could sort me out.
Sign of the times. Yes, we were "OUT" there. Now it is passe. since the mainstreaming of the gay community, we have become very conservative and ordinary. It is very hard to identify a gay man now because of his new identity to fitting into every day society. Very ambiguous is how gay men are seen today
The only current known gay character in Glee is 'so flaming they could be seen them from space'. Either there's a touch of hypocrisy going on, or Glee needs to pull its sock up and have a gay character who is less broadly stereotyped and more representative.
Oh I can't stand it when people say "don't like the gay guy in Glee 'cause he's camp".
A lot of gay guys are and Kurt is a great character (needs a lot more screen time)
Sue is slso GREAT. Loved the clip.
And that is how Sue C's it.
So the black girl in Glee should also have her skin tone adjusted to better represent the average skin tone of the black population across the globe? And why not make the wheelchair kid blind, deaf, and mentally challenged as well?
The characters and this show ain't ambassadors to no one. This isn't a race to tick "the PC boxes". They can do what they want.
The previous comment was obviously made by me and is dedicated to BenB.
A lapsus calami if I ever saw one. :D
Unless sexuality is represented in the media as incidental instead of the be-all-and-end-all of someone's personality, we'll never be seen as equal in society. Telling people that gay = camp will only reinforce that belief. It's less a case of adjusting skin colour and more of not having a black character say 'I looove me some fried chicken!' in every scene.
"All I want is just one day a year when I'm not visually assaulted by uglies and fatties."
"I, for one, think intimacy has no place in a marriage. Walked in on my parents once and it was like seeing two walruses wrestling."
"I'll often yell at homeless people: 'Hey, how is that homelessness working out for you? Try not being homeless for once.'"

Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona XtraBackup 2.2.2-beta1 on May 8th 2014. Downloads are available from our download site here. This BETA release, will be available in our Debian experimental and CentOS testing repositories.
This is a BETA quality release and it is not intended for production. If you want a high quality, Generally Available release, the current Stable version should be used (Percona XtraBackup 2.1.9 in the 2.1 series at the time of writing).
New Features
Bugs Fixed
my.cnf option,
open_files_limit. The effect is the same as for the server: it changes the maximum number of file descriptors available to the xtrabackup process. The actual limit depends on the platform and
ulimit settings. Bug fixed #1183793.
CREATEd or
ALTERed during the backup, an attempt to prepare such a backup later would lead to Percona XtraBackup crash. Bug fixed #1291299.
innobackupex and
xtrabackup, that was supposed to make sure no child processes are left running in case
innobackupex got killed or failed with an error, relied on the fact the
SIGTERM and
SIGINT signals were not blocked by the
xtrabackup process. However, both
SIGTERM and
SIGINT might be blocked by the process that had invoked
innobackupex, for example, by the Percona XtraDB Cluster server processes doing an SST, in which case they were also blocked by the xtrabackup process, since the signal mask is inherited by child processes. Fixed by replacing
SIGTERM in innobackupex and
SIGINT in xtrabackup auto-termination with
SIGKILL. Bug fixed #1294782.
Release notes with all the bugfixes for Percona XtraBackup 2.2.2 are available in our online documentation. All of Percona's software is open source and free, all the details of the release can be found in the 2.2.2 milestone at Launchpad. Bugs can be reported on the launchpad bug tracker.

For Immediate Release
[San Francisco, CA] Yesterday more than 40 members of the Elsipogtog First Nation, including Chief Arren Sock of the Mi'k Maq Nation, and supporters were arrested by police at an anti-fracking protest in New Brunswick, Canada. Photos of the incident show a militarized police force arresting injured protesters.
Michael Brune, Sierra Club executive director, issued the following response:
"The Sierra Club stands with anti-fracking protesters in New Brunswick, Canada, and around the world who are protecting their land and their families from the real danger that fracking brings to the health and safety of their communities.
"All Canadians and all Americans should ask themselves whether a police response with tactical units and snipers was meant to serve public safety, or squelch opposition to fracking in the service of the oil industry."

The following is a guest post from Jennifer of Sweet Plantains.
Am I the only one who is always left with that frustrating little half-serving of oatmeal every morning?
Leftover oatmeal has always left me rather confounded…I do have a few ideas up my sleeve for using them up: throwing the last bit into banana bread, blending it in my pancake batter, even saving it for the next batch of oatmeal to stir in at the last few minutes of cooking. But these choices, while frugal and practical, just don't leave me too excited.
Until now. After an amazing reader told me to try baking my leftover oatmeal, I've had such fun creating different recipes of baked oatmeal each week!
Which brings me to this delicious recipe: Coconut Baked Oatmeal – a glorious reincarnation of this week's leftovers, transformed into a rich, creamy, custardy dish that's full of delicious coconut flavor.
It's such a family favorite at our house that it's become a weekend tradition – I wake up Saturday morning, head to the kitchen, and get it all mixing while my kettle boils for coffee. While we all enjoy a leisurely start to the day, the coconut custard and the oatmeal meld together into a truly satisfying and indulgent breakfast.
This recipe uses coconut balsamic vinegar – an ingredient that's new to me, but oh, so wonderful! I've got to say, when my aunt gave me a set of infused balsamic vinegar's earlier this year…I was dubious. And a coconut balsamic vinegar? Now that's just weird, right? Well, as it turns out…no. Not weird. Try delicious. Amazing. Transforming. You will love it!
Coconut Baked Oatmeal
- 3-4 cup cooked oatmeal
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
- ½ cup evaporated cane juice
- 1½ cup heavy cream
- ½ tablespoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoon coconut infused balsamic vinegar, or 1 T vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 375. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Put the oatmeal in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Stir on low until smooth and clump-free.
- With the mixer on low, add in the eggs one at a time until incorporated. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes, until the center is set but still jiggles a bit when the pan moves.
- Serve warm on it's own, or topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream or Greek yogurt, and fruit.

Photo of the lake in my local woods which I finally found after many a dog walk
Wow, looks so greenish and peaceful, is a very pretty landscape and I love it so much, amazing!
Very nice image!
Amazing photo and the colors look so vibrant ^^
really beautiful shot
I love the green colors...........
At first hand it may look a simple landscape picture, but it is not. What I especially like about this picture is not only the very beautiful different shades of green, but also the succesful balance between the two trees on the left and right, not completely visible, but adding a lot of depth to the scenery. This also made it important to have most of sharpness in the foreground, with still enough details in the background. Well done!
nice shot! very hm whats the word. Tranquil and peaceful
have a good one keep it up
best wishes
have a good one keep it up
best wishes
very beautiful shot.
So beautiful!
So beautiful!
my kind of place
Pretty and bright.
Beautiful. Looks so serene. Which woods was it in?

This place has a fun atmosphere and the food is quite good.
A lot of the guests were quite dressed up. If I was wearing something slightly more casual than I was, I would have felt out of place!
Overall, I had a good time and the food was worth the money.
And I can only imagine that the outdoor area in the back is a perfect drinking spot in the summer!more
I LOVE the jam tree! granted after a few jam cocktails, you may be too full to continue...but the drinks are great, as are the jam shots - and the happy hour is even better!
They also have a full menu of bloody mary's on the weekend, some of which are to die for.
Super cute outdoor patio in the back as well - just wish when we'd been living in London it was warm enough to take advantage of...more

The reviews for the other branch of The Jam Tree were so enthusiastic, we decided it was definitely worth a visit - and Qype's 50% off offer didn't hurt either.

I've noticed that several people have mentioned having an amnio after having a positive (or sometimes even a negative) M21 test. I'm curious about what people have been told about the accuracy of an amnio. I realize it's a test that's been done for a heck of a lot longer than M21, but as far as I can tell their accuracy levels are the same. If the results differ, which one is believed?
I'm not trying to question anyone's decisions, I just want to educate myself. I had been looking at M21 as an alternative to an amnio, but it sounds like people are being advised otherwise.
Thank you for helping me understand.

It would seem that the Mormons don't want anyone to have any fun. They didn't want Gay Americans to marry, now they've got their collective special undergarments in a twist over pornography. Specifically how watching and wanking is "ruining" marriages. Sigh. If it's not the gays ruining marriage, it's Sasha Grey.
Called Out in the Light, the program doesn't distinguish between your average porn viewer (i.e., every man you know and many women) and the kind of sex addict who blows his kid's college fund on hookers and blow. Because porn inevitably sends every single one of its viewers into a downward spiral ending in infidelity, STDs, financial ruin and chapped wieners.
In news that was definitely news to me, according to the Mormons, watching porn is also the same as cheating on your partner. One "expert" quoted in the Deseret News said, "most women don't distinguish between an affair, an escort service, and pornography." Huh?
The paper reported, "One client, trying to help [the doctor] understand the scope of her husband's betrayal, said she knows of men who have only 'been with one woman.' Then she added, 'My husband has been with thousands.'"
Um, no. Your husband watched a lot of naughty TV. Last time I checked you couldn't catch an STD off a computer screen. But OITL doesn't believe people can just watch a skin flick or two and go on with their day.
To get the other side of the story, I contacted Lux Alptraum, editor of the extremely NSFW site, Fleshbot to see what she thought about the article. "Most smokers will not have multiple fingers amputated because of their habit, but the woman who did makes for a great anti-smoking commercial; likewise, if you're trying to promote an anti-porn cause, it makes sense to have the people who were unable to consume adult content in a healthy manner at the forefront of your cause."
No doubt there are people who abuse pornographyjust as there are those who can't eat just one Twinkie or have just a beer. Eric Danville, managing editor of Penthouse Forum, has been in the porn biz for 20 years. He told me, "an ostensibly 'happily married man's' reliance on porn has always struck me as a symptom of a marriage in trouble, not the cause of the trouble. If men and women alike would embrace human sexuality, be honest with each other and themselves and just communicate better, marriages wouldn't suffer nearly as much."
Alsosorry Mormonsbut men aren't the only ones consuming porn. Danville assures me, "Female porn consumerism has been trending up for years."
Now where'd I put that copy of Bend Over, Boyfriend. . . .

in response to Michael LeBronConnect to the iMac from the MBA and mount the drive you want to back up to. Then, open TM and set that drive as the backup drive and let it complete the initial backup.
Time Machine will automatically mount the drive when necessary to do the subsequent backups.
Andy Murphy2 Jun 3, 2008 12:01 AM
in response to Michael LeBronYou might find that you first have to set the iMac to use Time Machine with the disk in question (so that it gets recognised as a Time Machine disk). You can turn off backups once you've done this (the disk icon will change colour - green with a time machine symbol).
It's not totally stable when you do things this way, however. I'd say mine has worked 90% of the time, which is sufficient for my needs. To get it it going again you typically have to go through the steps noted once more.
Mine stopped working recently though. Fails to mount the drive for some reason, which I'm having a bit of hassle fixing. I wish Apple would quit trying to push proprietary hardware for things as basic as backups. I would have thought it straightforward to allow Time Machine to use any network attached file store.

The enforcement of the rules governing standardization have been a joke. Garbage in garbage out. It has been common practice by physicians for years, simply to resubmit a claim that has not been paid in what someone in the office considers an appropriate time. Lots of duplicate data. This wreaks havoc on averages and statistical analysis.
There is a whole new diagnosis code system going into effect in October of 2014. There is not a simple map from old codes to new codes, since there are almost ten times as many new codes as old codes. In addition many payers do not capture secondary and tertiary diagnosis codes. One last thing. The docs do not want to be measured, since they claim, with some justification, that the degree of illness is often not included in analysis.
Until the transactional standards are enforced, the data will be junk.

I'm taking back the mod ownership to NProductions. Unfortunately, most of the team members are left, including the main concept artist HeartbreakOne (because real life issue). Now this mod is return as a one-man team mod. This mod development now like a crawling zombie. But even like that, this mod will not die, I won't let it die!
Even this mod got so many problem, with the rise and fall of progress, and the team members come and go (mostly go :/), this mod still have some progresses. Here's some of the things done, might be not in order.
We got pretty lot things done, this picture is a preview of how a Drones base will be. But note that the leftmost building is just a temporary model for Drones Factory. See this picture for more information: Img28.imageshack.us
Then see the three circular building at the rightmost? What is that?
They're the new Drones Reactor. This building provides powers for Drones forces. Without sufficient powers their units will be disabled and productions slowed down. Make sure you build them a lot enough.
Concept by HeartbreakOne, model by Gen.Kenobi and n5p29.
Next, there's the new unit render, Drones Defender Tank. This unit is tier-2 anti-air vehicle, armed by missile pods by default (for aircraft only), can be upgraded with either additional pods for extra missiles, or replace them with vulcan minigun that effective against infantry (can't be used against air though). Requires Factory Expansion upgrade to be built.
other picture: A.imageshack.us
Concept by Gen.Kenobi, model by n5p29.
More will be coming soon. Stay tuned.
And well, since now I'm the only one who work on this mod, I will post upcoming updates not really frequent. Then, see you in the next updates.
GRANS Studios is hosting a Mini-Mod Challenge. Get started now!
Some more details of Recolonize Mod game mechanics. Will be updated in times. And you can also ask the questions about this mod game mechanics.
Hello everyone! Gen.Kenobi asked me to make some news about Recuitment so here it is! read below for more info:
Quick update for Recolonize mod. The mod progress on July-August: Drones defenses and air unit
No articles were found matching the criteria specified. We suggest you try the article list with no filter applied, to browse all available. Join now to share your own content, we welcome creators and consumers alike and look forward to your comments.
Now this mod looks interesting. Looking forward to see some action ingame
this mod is not dead, update is being made.
many things happened since last time, there's plenty to explain.
all ive seen so far is the drone army, what about the humans?
you cant be serious if you are planning to leave the normal armies, it should be a total conversion
Human have got some concept arts there, just the model has not being made (currently focusing on Drones).
This mod WILL be launched. It has to, even if it takes 5 more years to finish... =)
indeed. but 5 years seems too long. :P
Five years would be a bit much, but if that's what it takes for quality, then so be it. :P
I really hope you don't abandon this one guys, it has a ton of potential and many awesome idea's. I also hope development doesn't cease on this mod, from where I'm standing it's easily the most interesting mod out of all the GRANS mods. ;) It would be a real shame if work is halted on this, to continue on with the other GRANS mods. :(
The problem with mod development is it's so erratic, so random.
From experience I've seen it's possible to get A LOT of mod work done in a year, depending on how motivated/active your team is.
Unfortunately the reverse is also true, if your team lack motivation, or time, then very little work gets done over long periods of time.
Okay that was longer and more rambling than I would have liked. But to sum up, basically please don't give up on the mod. I believe if you find the time to finish it, it will become something pretty special. :D
- Sam
mod is diedddddd
actually it's "not dead". we have some internal problems, moreover since we have lack of team member, we are not productive these months.
I can help with modeling/texturing if you need it?
PM me with a sample of your work.

I have visual studio 2010 Premium installed. It has been working fine for many months. All of a sudden I opened up a project yesterday and I can no longer type in the ide.
All commands respond to the correct key combination (ex., Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R to rename), but I can't type any letters, numbers, etc in the code window. If I start to type, the IntelliSense window opens up, but I cannot add anything from the IntelliSense window if I highlight and hit enter.
Copy and paste does not work. I can highlight in the IDE, Ctrl+C to copy and paste into notepad.
Up, down, left, right arrow keys work for code navigation.
I can run fine in safe mode. I uninstalled all plugins and all extensions. I tried repairing Visual Studio. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck.
Also, if I try to create new project, I get the error -
Creating project 'MyProjectName'... project creation failed.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot?

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

A great way to witness your faith, this wrap bracelet not only looks beautiful on your wirst, but it becomes a readily available rosary to pray when you find a quiet moment. These imitation pearls mimic the lusters found in natural pearls and are complemented by the Aquamarine glass beads. The elegant pearls easily spiral around your wrist, creating a stunning bracelet and a wonderful sacramental.
|Raja Marhaba (Granada Hills, October 20, 2015)
|Very beautiful and delicate.
|Charlene (Rayne, April 2, 2015)
|This bracelet is described as fitting most adults but it is the size of a child's bracelet. It is certainly too small for me and I have small wrists. Lovely item but disappointing due to the size.

Noble received an Eli Lilly Fellowship and is traveling to five cities to run in five races. She completed the Nashville Country Music Half Marathon Saturday, April 25.
Noble noted that Myers Elementary School Principal Ginger Conrad also completed the Nashville race.
Noble's Web page for students to keep them updated about race information can be found at www.tellcity.k12.in.us/elem/index.htm.
CANNELTON - Cannelton's school-board members approved a resolution in a special meeting Monday that will permit the corporation to sell bonds, take care of some debts, fund energy-saving renovations and lead to "a good situation for the schools to thrive," Superintendent Al Chapman said Tuesday.
He has been working for months on efforts to sell bonds, and they will bear fruit in the sale next week of approximately $2.4 million in bonds to the Oppenheimer and Co. Inc. investment firm, which will sell them to long-term investors.
TELL CITY - County property-tax bills could have a June or July deadline, but July is more likely, County Treasurer Martha Wooldridge said Monday.
She attended a regular meeting of the county commissioners to secure their approval of a contract with Manatron, a Michigan-based company employed to print and mail tax bills. The county council had already authorized the $18,000 for those services, she noted. The commissioners approved the contract.
County Auditor Connie Berger said she hoped to get tax rates from state officials this month.
INDIANAPOLIS - Four Indiana State Police troopers and a Tell City police officer who led a 2008 effort against methamphetamine in Perry County were honored Tuesday in a Statehouse ceremony.
Gov. Mitch Daniels presented Governor's Public Service Achievement Awards to 35 employees representing eight state agencies. Among the honorees were local Indiana State Police employees Sgt. Paul Andry and Troopers David Qualkenbush, Jackie Smith and Katrina Smith.
TELL CITY - A motion approved Monday by the Tell City Common Council could lead to the formal adoption next month of an ordinance banning smoking from both City Hall and the park surrounding it.
At-large Councilman Tony Hollinden presented the motion, saying the effort fits with city efforts to promote wellness.
The motion, which would prohibit all tobacco products, generated little discussion before passing 4-1, authorizing City Attorney Jim Tyler to prepare a formal ordinance for consideration at the council's June 1 meeting.
CANNELTON - Although Mother Nature has kept many gardeners at bay with a wet spring, a program offering free garden plots is ready to take root in Cannelton.
Purdue Extension of Perry County is offering 10-foot by 15-foot plots to anyone who is interested in growing their own vegetable garden, said Brenda Hagedorn, consumer and family-sciences educator for Perry County.
ROME - The former county courthouse in Rome is a new addition to a list of threatened Hoosier landmarks. On Monday, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana announced its 10 Most Endangered, an annual list of landmarks in jeopardy.
New on the list for 2009 is the Old Perry County Courthouse in Rome. Built in 1819, the courthouse lost its government role in 1859 when the county seat moved to Cannelton. After the county government departed, the Rome courthouse transitioned to use as a school, remaining the centerpiece of the shrinking community.

So I was born and raised a Baptist. Recently I have been questioning the Bible and what it says. I 100% believe in God and that Jesus was a person (there is plenty of evidence that he was) but I am not sold on the contents of the Bible.
I am okay with my decision about that. I feel like through the many, many translations there have been things added, and taken away, to benefit the person who is doing the translating. There is just so much controversy and hate to go with all the love that is supposed to be going on.. I feel like the KJV, specifically, was more to keep people in line, and follow certain rules than to actually promote what Christianity is truly about.
I have been talking to dh about this lately and he agrees with me to a point. Obviously everything cannot be taken literally, that some things are more for morals and to teach lessons (if you take Leviticus literally, your gonna have a bad time). I just don't see how it can be up to individuals to decide what is for moral intent and what is for literal intent and then to be able to be one cohesive religious unit.. Which, isn't how it is, look at all the different variations of Christianity..
What really is bothering me though is that I feel badly about it. I feel like I have been trained my whole life to not question my religious beliefs and that it is what it is. I feel like I am doing something wrong by using my sense of reason to determine my beliefs.
I feel that since the beginning of time humans have worshiped a God, whether it be a Christian God or a Myan God or any other God, humans have always believed and worshiped.. This alone makes me not quesetion whether or not He exists.. Just maybe not in the context of a specific religion.
I hate that I feel bad about it and I feel a bit lost. I don't really know where to go from here as every thing I know and every thing I have learned is about a Christian God and a Christian life..
I don't really know what the point of this post is. I cannot talk to any one irl except dh and I wanted to vent/express my feelings.
also here is a response to come questions I was asked on my BB. I think this reply helps my op
I guess I am not upset about my decision, but I feel like I should be because I was raised to think that questioning the Bible and discounting its contents is wrong.
I have studied the Bible my whole life, where I grew up if you didn't know your Bible then you were going to hell. Church wasn't an hour out of my Sunday morning it was Sunday morning group followed by service, go home for lunch and dinner then come back for Bible study and evening Service. Then there was service and Bible studies on Wednesday night and at least one other day of the week had a church night also. Also since I have been in WA, I have been a part of churches and study groups and it hasn't changed my opinion about my feelings.
I have always had doubts and have always been told doubting is normal and its just the Devil trying to pull me from my salvation.
What really got me questioning it and making me feel like I wrote in OP is the quality of the people we call Christians, not just the ones I know personally but the ones frequently seen on tv and in the news lately. I do know some amazing, true, loving, kind, beautiful Christians but they are slim pickings. I know more people who use their religion to condemn those of us around them who are questioning or who are "different" and they can pull direct quotes from the Bible to back up their beliefs..
To me the God I love wants people to be like Jesus and to be kind and good to everyone regardless or race, sexual orientation, religion, or beliefs.. I also don't feel he would condem anyone to hell if they lived a fulfilling helpful, kind, giving, loving life.
I guess I am just at a transition point where I know what I don't believe in and what I do, but I am still thinking in my Christian trained mind that it is wrong to be feeling this way when really I shouldn't be feeling bad at all.
Does that make any sense?

Ridiculed because of his enormous ears, a young circus elephant is assisted by a mouse to achieve his full potential.
Constantly watched this VHS when I was a kid. Explains a lot.
Add a review?
One word: cute. There's nothing particularly remarkable about Dumbo. It's much simpler and more lighthearted, other than the drunken hallucination, which is rather creepy to be honest, though very fun to watch. The film isn't as grand as the eponymous protagonist's ears, nor as epic as previous Disney films, though it has moments of fine and powerful emotion, resulting in a film memorable in its simplicity.
Classic early feature from Disney with a fun and often touching script that tells its tale quickly but effectively. Watching with modern sensibilities one can call the filmmakers on hints of racism but some films need to be watched in the context of their times.
How could you make a film like that you sick motherfuckers
a flying elephant. how original
Not the best that Disney has to offer, though it's sweet, well-animated, and it spotlights a touching mother/son relationship.
A heartbreaking tale about a bullied kid forced to work in a circus while his mother is in jail, turns alcoholic and is tricked by a black gang. This is disturbing, Mr. Disney.
Pink Elephants on Parade. That is all.
his name is jumbo jr, ya jerks
This was playing on in a antique store that I wandered into. I wasn't brought up watching cartoons and had never seen it. The music hit me like a harpoon. "Sir, please don't touch the volume! Hey, Excuse me?! Excuse Me!" They kicked me out.
The elephant dream sequence is still fucking terrifying when I'm 27
74 anos depois e ainda fazemos isto aos elefantes. Se há filme que me faz chorar desalmadamente de todas as vezes que o vejo, é este.
"Pink Elephants" takes it from Great to Masterpiece.
Got my Dumbo Blu-ray in the mail today. Watched it again for the first time in years. Short, sweet, and to the point. Great value too!
I remember crying for this movie when I was kid. My mother kept laughing cause its her first time to see me cry in a movie. :)
In terms of storytelling this film strikes me as pretty progressive. As a Protagonist Dumbo manages to drive the film without really doing anything til the end but it works. Some cinephiles dismiss Disney for mass producing cuteness but I can't agree here. It has sweet moments but the bulk of it is harsh or downright scary. In terms of craftsmanship I'll take 'The Pink Elephants' sequence over anything Pixar.
I'm so relieved that I held out from buying the import, my favorite childhood Disney finally makes its way onto Blu-Ray in September
With its simple story (due to Disney wanting to tone things down after the financial flop of Fantasia) this charming film is entertaining, moving, and ultimately timeless.
70 years of age and not a wrinkle to this mofoca. How awesome is that? A film that still makes my eyes water like onions. A film that still rips my soul apart. I still think I'm dumbo. How dumb can a guy be?
One of the few Disney protagonists who is ever drunk!
Euphoric nostalgia
Excellent film. Better than most.

Depression is not a disease, it is a symptom. Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use, with one in four women starting their day with medication. These drugs have become the panacea for everything from grief, irritability, panic attacks, to insomnia, PMS, and stress. But the truth is, what women really need can't be found at a pharmacy. According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may permanently disable the body's s

The Case of the Stolen Blanks
The real story behind the cheating scandal at the National Scrabble Championship.
Moore had played the boy a day earlier. The boy had drawn both blanks, but Moore won anyway. Aware of scuttlebutt about the boy's suspiciously strong performance at the previous tournament, Moore saw the side-by-side blanks as a potential red flag. Each player filled the bag with tiles from his own side. As they finished, Moore grabbed the top of the collapsed bag with both hands to allow the tiles to settle. That also allowed him to watch his opponent's hands. Moore told officials he saw the boy grab the blanks with his left hand and close his pinky, ring, and middle fingers around them. The boy dropped some other tiles into the bag with both hands and then moved his hands below the table. Moore loaded the remaining tiles on his side into the bag, placed it next to him, and called for a tournament director.
Moore told the director he saw the boy palm both blanks. The director dumped the tiles onto the board to search for them. At that point, a player at an adjacent table said: "He just dropped two tiles on the floor." Moore saw that one was a blank; the other landed facedown. The boy picked them up and put them on the table. He was taken from the tournament room, questioned by tournament officials, and, in the presence of the mother of another youth player, ejected from the event.* All of the players who had lost to the boy were subsequently awarded wins.
Moore finished second in Division 3. At the awards ceremony, when he was called up to receive his $800 prize, Moore got a standing ovation. He told me he's glad he did what he did, but distraught about what the boy and his family must be going through. "While necessary, there is certainly no joy in having to punish a [kid] for such an offense," Moore said.
Cheating in Scrabble is rare; according to NASPA, there have been just five suspensions for cheating since 2008. Why? Beyond personal validation, there's little at stake. First prize in Division 1 in Orlando was $10,000, and apart from the winner, 45-year-old New Zealander Nigel Richards—who won for the third time in a row and record fourth overall, and who has won at least $200,000 playing Scrabble in the last dozen years—no one is making much money playing the game. Scrabble games aren't individually refereed. Self-policing rules. Most players love the game—whether at the intellectually rich level of the top of Division 1 or the less rigorous plane of Division 3—too much to take a risk. As three-time national champion Joe Edley put it in a 1995 Sports Illustrated article by S.L. Price (which helped inspire me to play and write about Scrabble), "nobody wants to cheat; otherwise they lose a significant part of their life."
That's why the media storm over the cadged blanks feels so cheap, and so unrepresentative to those of us who love Scrabble so much. "Is the cheating incident really seen, even by us, as more noteworthy than one of the most amazing tournament finishes ever?" a top expert, Jim Kramer, posted Friday on the Yahoo listserv Crossword Games-Pro, where the posts have been about the cheating incident and media fallout, and little else.
Kramer's right, so let me shift the focus. Richards was facing another Scrabble legend, former national champion David Gibson, a 61-year-old math instructor from South Carolina, who won, in 1995 and 2003, the only two Scrabble tournaments that awarded a $50,000 prize to the winner. Heading into Round 31, Gibson was first with a 22-8 mark and a point spread of 1,740. Richards was second at 21-9 with a spread of 1,402. To win the tournament, Richards had to outscore Gibson by 170 points in the finale. If he won by 169, the two would share the crown.
Either outcome seemed unlikely. While Richards is considered an offensive master, Gibson is known for defending cautiously. But Gibson blundered on his second move, and Richards pounced with a bingo, TRAPLIKE, for 80 points. (You can replay the game here.) Four moves later, Richards bingoed again—ADJUTANT for 98, using a blank for the N. On the very next turn, Gibson missed a bingo of his own: NORTHING (which means movement toward the north). Three turns later, Richards bingoed a third time with MELANITE (a black variety of garnet) for 61. Gibson, whose annotated Scrabble dictionary is a book of wonder, uncharacteristically missed another bingo, ARCIFORM (having the form of an arc).
Despite all that, Gibson still had a chance to hang on to the title. But he couldn't do it, the game ending with the second blank unused on his rack and the score 475-298, a difference of 177 points. Two of the greatest players of all time, joined in one of the most remarkable finishes Scrabble has ever seen, and all anyone wants to talk about is a kid who made a terrible mistake.
Correction, Aug. 18, 2012: This article originally stated that the boy who was caught cheating at the National Scrabble Championship was ejected from the tournament in the presence of his mother. It was the mother of another youth player. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

The rules prohibit cavessons and hackamores. The equipment you mention us english equipment. I doubt the usef rule book for Dressage prohibits bosals or tapaderos lol.
Well, at some point I'm glad because I'm sure people would have tried to use a flash with a curb bit at intro level...
Anyway, there is no point in a spade bit at Intro level.
That's it.
Well that's cleared up then. So without the nose band would poor use of a lever bit be very obvious -gaping and such?
This is the basis for my interest in 'western dressage'. I want to learn and try to improve my riding and my horse. I have no interest whatsoever in formalities, politics, competition, and such.
I can't wait to do western dressage, personally. I like the idea because its something I can do with my APHA gelding (who also does regular dressage, hunt seat in the field and show ring, western ring events, western cow events, all halter events, ummmm.....lets say everything except saddle seat). Number one, it's another event to do, something to keep my horse and I fresh. Number two, I own a paint--not a warmblood. It lets us stock breed owners have more competitive test scores, while still having the benefits of some dressage training (can't wait for stock breed classes for traditional dressage....someday!). Western dressage patterns/tests are a simplified version of western horsemanship (equitation) patterns at breed shows, also letting people with stock bred horses who can't or don't want to show in horsemanship compete in something.
IMHO, asking a stock breed owner why we want to do western dressage as opposed to "English dressage" (or both) is like asking us why we do western horsemanship, hunt seat equitation, and all around competitions at breed shows....why would we do just one event when our horses are made to do ALL the events? Seeing all the controversy here about WD I guess "one horse to do it all" isn't the goal of a lot of riders, but us all arounders won't muddy the discipline, and true western training has quite a bit in common with dressage training (there is common ground!!).
A word on curbs....the western curb is not used like or really even similar to the double bridle on an upper level horse. We don't use even half the contact on those bits that an English rider would on the double, even when we have contact (yes, I have ridden with a double before). Our horses are not steered by the bit, they are turned/bended/half halted with our seats and legs entirely. We pick up a little finger and our horses know to rock back and collect. Wiggle the drape in the reins an inch? The western horse slows each foot step. My horse loves his 8 inch shank with 1 inch port far more than my copper mouth loose ring, because he knows that when its in, his face won't ever be touched. That is why it's appropriate for a "lower level" western horse to wear the curb--as long as the horse has been finished properly, he will be much happier in the curb than the snaffle. Snaffles are our training bits, when they have to work more, frame up, move their feet in all directions, etc etc etc--the curb is a vacation.
Hope that explains it a little! :)
I attended a western dressage clinic at Equine Affaire. The audience was packed. The clinician (who I thought was not very good) had a difficult time explaining basic concepts to the enthusiastic audience.
What struck me was how involved the audience was in what a dressage person would consider basic. Contact, self carriage, through, all of these basic things were new and complicated to them. Yet they were excited to have the secrets of doing dressage revealed, it wasn't boring or snobby, it was fascinating. As I watched I realized that these people came to realize that riding figures in a sand ring with a little white fence wasn't JUST pattern riding. I think it's something that they thought was out of their reach before, and a sport that didn't really welcome them.
Given the opinion of many people on this BB I think that they are right, it's not fair to bash western dressage and tell people that all they have to do is change their tack and get an expensive dressage trainer. I think we should be welcoming people to dressage any way they want to get here.
I think that western dressage has the possibility of attracting a whole new group of people to the sport, and that maybe some of those people, still hungry after their introduction to western dressage, might want to buy that dressage saddle and come on over a bit more.
FWIW, when I wanted to do a trail class at my barn's show series in California more-than-several-years ago, the "western" organizer said that they were part of the "western classes" and insisted that I do them in western tack ... plus, because my mare was older than some age, I had to use a curb bit one-handed, not a snaffle.
Honestly, if you want to be true to 'real dressage principals' you have to follow one of the non competitive schools. SRS/Cadre Noir, or the folks like Bent Branderup who are marching to their own tune.
What kind of training is the FEI advocating when it allows the over cranked nosebands and the over cranked necks?
For me, I would take a well ridden horse in a spade bit WITHOUT it's mouth cranked shut over a Gold Medal winning FEI horse with a gel padded noseband and crown piece (gel padded because it is so tight.)
As for what is "important," well, there are enough options out there that everyone can decide for themselves what is, and is not, important. If I hit the power ball lottery tomorrow and decided to send a fancy horse out for training, I would pick Buck Brannaman over Anky ANY DAY, everyday, and forever.
In answer to the original question: Haven't a clue!!
BUT, it does have me thinking more about quiet riding, thoughtful riding and communicating more clearly with my horse. So, in that regard, it's beneficial. But everyone should ride like that every time no matter what the seat or discipline. If western *dressage* promotes that, then it's good.
IMH (no one really cares)O. Competitive western dressage is just another excuse to collect ribbons and for shows to fill classes. Good western riding should have all the same basics as good dressage riding and be judged in the western disciplines. There's a reason for western tack and a western horse's way of going. Carry on.....
Fwiw, I generally think Western dressage will be good for horses and riders. I do find it troubling though that so many people seem to think that a "western horse" can't track up, and that's supposedly one of the reasons why WD is needed. My fear is that WD could encourage amateurs to give their horses a pass in this sense, and not seek to develop them to their full potential. I really hope that doesn't happen.
What we really need IMO is improved dressage judging that awards marks starting from each horse's potential, and in the US a points system that forces high scoring horses AND riders to move up or into Open divisions. I suspect WD is becoming popular partly because people like the idea of dressage but want to be competitive. They also want to have fun, and some of the breeds in question are genuinely difficult to train for throughness and impulsion, even for pros.
Thank you to those of you who stayed on topic. :)
I think I have a much better idea of why people are interested in it. The common denominator seems to be a correctly moving, forward horse. The typical WP horse movement is why I got OUT of showing in Western rail classes.
if the 'series' was a western-oriented series...all they had in their books were western-oriented rules, and the age of the horse requiring a shanked bit is absolutely a western-themed rule. Junior horses in snaffles or bosals, Senior horses in curbs.
You have to go to a thing like the Oregon Horse Center 'series' in order to ride in whatever tack you want. That's just how the rules are written by the different organizations.

I am being palgued with gnats all over my garden. it is impossible to go out there to work. The walls and fence panels are covered and hovering in the air and on the plants. I live near a resevoir and they are usually in swarms there. There is also a works yard at the back of the house for the water company and they are drilling a bore hole. Could this be the problem and any ideas how i get rid of them or at least reduce the numbers.
Move or-
Encourage birds into the garden-
failing that-
Are these biting insects?
Hi Bajangirl,
There are some Nematodes called Sciarid Fly nematodes that you can buy to try to tackle the problem, but to be honest with the water so close you might be fighting a losing battle aganst them, but then again for about £10 for a pack it might be worth a go so you can enjoy your garden.
Thanks I am so desperate I am willing to try anything and everything. I have been like a she-devil swatting the walls but it only sends them into a frenzy as you can imagine.
Our garden is like one big swarm of gnats. The garden to our left is even worse but the one to our right is slightly better. We had the same problem at about this time last year but never any problem before that.The only weird thing is that our L side neighbours took out a long-standing fish pond in the Autumn before last. We would have expected this to have improved things NOT cause a problem.
Any ideas please. PS The gnats think I am a meal on legs!!
If you are serious about getting rid of the midge you can buy Midge Magnet, Midge Machine that are very affective but they are not cheap £500-£2000!!!!
Or you could try making your own.
The dead midge make a excellent fertilizer for the soil.
Any pond or lake will dramatically increase the midge situation as the eggs are laid in water.
Thanks Edd just watched the video on youtube and will definitely give it a go the little beasties are back again although not in such a large concentration this year.
Thanks Edd. I was about to make a Midge Magnet this morning but Mother Nature helped me out - we had quite a sharp frost last night and it seems to have killed them all off!
I am sure that it wont be long before the next batch hatch out so I will keep my bottles handy and my son can always be relied upon to provide a very sweaty sock!
