BOSTON (AP) – Some things seem to capture the public perception of gangster James "Whitey" Bulger's life: a sterling silver "psycho killer" skull ring, a rat-shaped pencil holder, a stack of books about the Mafia.
Brexit – British Exit – it is. The end of the European Union in the United Kingdom in Thursday's referendum there began to make its presence known in financial markets even before the very close vote count was well established.
How was your weekend, Memphis? Here's our weekly rundown of local happenings you need to know about, from the annual AutoZone shareholder convergence Downtown to the new Star Wars movie...
Two games in, it is still a bit too early to declare Marcus Mariota the franchise savior for the Tennessee Titans.
But one thing that stood out is that we may have learned as much or more about Mariota's makeup in last Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns than we did in his week one shellacking of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – A diamond and gold pendant Elvis Presley gave Sammy Davis Jr. was among 160 authenticated artifacts sold Thursday evening during an auction at the King of Rock 'n' Roll's longtime Memphis, Tennessee, home.
Tennessee's football team has something to prove as it concludes the first week of preseason practices and moves forward to the 2015 season.
The Vols must prove they belong in the national picture in Butch Jones' third year as coach.
Tom Rieger recently joined the Greater Memphis Chamber as senior vice president of member development, a role in which he will oversee major fundraising activities, conduct membership drive campaigns and implement revenue enhancement opportunities.
If the University of Tennessee's football team gains bowl eligibility with a victory Saturday at Vanderbilt, it can look back to a quarterback change Oct. 25 against Alabama as a pivotal point in the season.
"When it comes to college football, the South has no equal, because the Southeastern Conference has no equal. Find me a conference with a better commissioner, better players, better head coaches, better staffs, better game-day atmospheres, better-looking coeds – better anything."
Everyone was in a good mood. Not just normally affable Grizzlies players Mike Conley and Mike Miller, but former Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins and Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Jim Brown, a couple of hard-nosed throwback types.
Lights, camera, action. In 1980 the United Negro College Fund launched the Parade of Stars telethon. It became a nationwide fundraising program raising millions of dollars for generations of students, and support for historically black colleges and universities. It became the largest one-day African-American special event in the country. It changed black history – and American history – creating an acknowledged culture of fundraising in the African-American community. America's largest corporations became engaged. Small churches, teachers, sororities and fraternities became engaged. Donors and volunteers from across the country organized to support UNCF and celebrate black philanthropy.
VA Medical Center Women's Veterans Program and Cardiology Clinic will hold its Red Dress Fashion Show and heart health program Monday, Feb. 11, at 11 a.m. at the medical center theater, 1030 Jefferson Ave. Constance Adcock, coordinator of WomenHeart Memphis, will speak. Visit memphis.va.gov.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – It had been a long time since LSU enjoyed such a performance in its Southeastern Conference opener as it did Saturday against Ole Miss.
The Tigers led from start to finish in a dominating 81-55 victory against the Rebels on Saturday. The 26-point margin of victory was the largest for LSU in a league opener since its 92-66 victory against Florida in the 1980-81 campaign.
MEMPHIS (AP) – Re-signing center Marc Gasol is the Memphis Grizzlies' top priority right now as the franchise attempts to maintain the momentum created during last season's playoff run, general manager Chris Wallace said Thursday.
For some Memphis consumers, it's a completely natural impulse to go out of the way to keep from going far away when there's money to spend. Those particular consumers will run over a TCBY to get to YoLo, shove past a Starbucks to get their caffeine fix at Otherlands, Republic or Cafe Eclectic, hop over an IHOP to stand in line at Brother Juniper's and dodge Dillard's to suit up at shops like Oak Hall and James Davis.
The Memphis/Mid-South Chapter of the Federal Bar Association will present the seminar "Appeals A to Z" Thursday from 1:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Clifford Davis and Odell Horton Federal Building, 167 N. Main St., 11th floor, jury assembly room.

The apartment was really big and comfortable. Everthing was perfect outside of the lack of hairdryer. Nonetheless, they have provided us one after we had requested. Everthing else has been perfect.
Very nice and spacious appartment. It is quite well located, just closed to Berliner Tor station with connections to all the most important places to visit in Hamburg. It´s only 20 minutes directly from Airport. In the neighborhood you can easily find supermarket (Real and Lidl), bakery, bank, ...
Do not worry about the building, as you enter in it is seems that someone is going to mug you. It is a little bit scary but nothing to do with real life. It is safe and silent.The apparment was EXTREMELY TIDY AND CLEAN, and looks like in pictures. You can find a kitchen with all electrical appliance, even you can find coffee-machine filters for free!. Very confortable beds and a super WLAN internet access. Agentur am Fischmarkt really made our visit in Hamburg.
It was perfect!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice place to stay. The House is old but well kept. As it is very close to the red light district it can be quite noisy at night. You can be sharing the apartment with three other room guests so be ready to share the bathroom. Perfect area for tourism.
Perfect: hospitality and communication With the owner, near to the center +++
Great place to stay, nice neighborhood.
As advertised (I got the exact room portrayed in the picture), nice and clean. Welcoming and accommodating host, the neighborhood was not particularly noisy (at least not more than expected)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
This is a cosy little apartment in a very quiet location. We had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay. The kitchen was very small so not suitable if you want to do your own cooking but if like us you only want to make tea and coffee it is perfect. Thanks to Carmen for meeting us with the keys and being so helpful.

Shirazi people
Coordinates: 4°32′S 39°25′E / 4.533°S 39.417°EThe Shirazi are a sub-group of the Swahili people[1] living on the Swahili Coast of East Africa, especially on the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Comoros.[2] Local traditions about their origin claim they are descended from merchant princes from Shiraz in Persia who settled along the Swahili Coast. However, some academics are skeptical of the claimed Persian origin.[3][4] There are several different traditions about the settlement of the Persian merchant-princes in seven towns along the Swahili Coast.[5]
Like the rest of the Swahili people, the Shirazi speak the Swahili language and practice Sunni Islam and Shia Islam.[6]
Several ruins of settlements in Tanzania are attributed to the settlements of the Shirazi era, including the Tongoni and Kaole Ruins, as well as those found on Tumbatu and Pemba islands.

U.S. children's author describes violent chaos during 2008 India hotel terror attack
CHICAGO Minutes before an American was sentenced to 35 years in prison for helping plan an attack on Mumbai, India, one of his victims tearfully pleaded for a harsh punishment despite the terrorist plotter's widespread cooperation with U.S. investigators following his arrest.
David Coleman Headley, 52, shifted uncomfortably in a gray tracksuit and kept his eyes fixed on the Chicago courtroom floor Thursday as he listened to an American children's author describe the violent chaos during her 2008 trip to India.
Bullets flew past her check and panicked diners dived under tables as gunmen burst into a hotel restaurant, executing people one by one, said Linda Ragsdale, almost shouting as she stood a few feet from Headley during the sentencing hearing.
"I know the sweet sickening smell of gunfire and blood," said Ragsdale, 53, of Nashville, Tenn., who was shot through the chest — the bullet passing along her spine and then out her thigh. "I know what a bullet can do to every part of the human body … These are things I never needed to know, never needed to experience."
She did not comment after the judge imposed the sentence, but others victimized by the attack that has been called India's 9/11 said they were disturbed and upset Headley didn't get the maximum life sentence he faced.
With credit for good behavior, he could walk out of prison before he turns 80.
"He lost his right to live life as a free man. He doesn't deserve to be let out. He gave up that right when he played a role in the attack," said Kia Scherr, whose husband Alan Scherr and 13-year-old daughter, Naomi, were at the same table as Ragsdale and were killed.
It was prosecutors who pressed for leniency, saying they wanted Headley to get no more than 35 years as credit for his almost immediate cooperation after his 2009 arrest and providing intelligence about terror networks, including the Pakistani-based group that mounted the attack. Rewarding Headley with the hope of at least a few years of freedom, they said, would encourage future suspects in terrorist cases to spill their secrets.
A somber Judge Harry Leinenweber sounded reluctant about imposing the lesser sentence, saying the assault in Mumbai (also known as Bombay) was so unfathomable and terrifying that, "perhaps the lucky ones were the ones who didn't survive."
"I don't have any faith in Mr. Headley when he says he's a changed person and believes in the American way of life," he said.
The attack heightened the strain in a historically antagonistic relationship between India and Pakistan, which have fought three major wars. Indian officials accuse Pakistani intelligence of helping to plan the assault — an allegation Pakistan denies.
It was Headley's meticulous scouting missions that helped make the assault by 10 gunmen from a Pakistani-based militant group on multiple targets in Mumbai so deadly. TV cameras captured much of the three-day rampage that including multiple targets, including the landmark Taj Mahal Hotel.
Headley showed no emotion when the sentence was announced.

The Crescent Moon Kingdoms, home to djenn and ghuls, holy warriors and heretics, are at the boiling point of a power struggle between the iron-fisted Khalif and the mysterious master thief known as the Falcon Prince. In the midst of this brewing rebellion a series of brutal supernatural murders strikes at the heart of the Kingdoms. It is up to a handful of heroes to learn the truth behind these killings:
Doctor Adoulla Makhslood, "the last real ghul hunter in the great city of Dhamsawaat," just wants a quiet cup of tea. Three score and more years old, he has grown weary of hunting monsters and saving lives, and is more than ready to retire from his dangerous and demanding vocation. But when an old flame's family is murdered, Adoulla is drawn back to the hunter's path.
Raseed bas Raseed, Adoulla's young assistant, is a hidebound holy warrior whose prowess is matched only by his piety. But even as Raseed's sword is tested by ghuls and manjackals, his soul is tested when he and Adoulla cross paths with the tribeswoman Zamia.
Zamia Badawi, Protector of the Band, has been gifted with the near-mythical power of the lion-shape, but shunned by her people for daring to take up a man's title. She lives only to avenge her father's death. Until she learns that Adoulla and his allies also hunt her father's killer. Until she meets Raseed.
When they learn that the murders and the Falcon Prince's brewing revolution are connected, the companions must race against time - and struggle against their own misgivings - to save the life of a vicious despot. In so doing they discover a plot for the Throne of the Crescent Moon that threatens to turn Dhamsawaat, and the world itself, into a blood-soaked ruin.

I'm a voracious audiobibliophile, mainly interested in speculative fiction, with the occasional mimetic fiction or non-fiction title sneaking in.
"A welcome new voice in fantasy, read with aplomb"
Ahmed???s debut is a welcome new voice in fantasy. Beginning with a short, dark prologue of torture which introduces us to a powerful, evil raiser of ghuls known as ???the gaunt man??? and his jackal-faced assistant, we are then introduced to our atypical hero, Dr. Adoulla, ghulhunter: set in a teahouse rather than an inn; set with cardamon tea and a book of poetry rather than stew and a tankard of ale; set with a 60-year old, portly, tired protagonist who longs for retirement rather a group of young adventurers longing for fame and treasure. Haunted by a lingering dream of his beloved city run through by a river of blood ??? a vision introduced in more sinister detail in the prologue ??? Adoulla nonetheless finds the strength to??? stand up from his tea and face the day. In terms of the narration, Gigante???s characterizations really are something here, from the voices of demonic jackal-ghuls to the somewhat pompous and sarcastic Adoulla, to a far-flung cast of characters from cross-eyed restaurateurs to the regal Falcon Prince, beggars, on and on. The principal narration is performed in a tone which fits both the dark and yet somehow also, in its way, playful content, as Ahmed???s abiding love for fantasy and D&D as source material are evident. I'm looking forward to more in this series.
"Fun, light fantasy"
Throne of the Crescent Moon is a pretty good debut novel. I thought the characters were great, the plot fun, and the world a nice change from medieval Europe. The magic is the weakest part of the book, because it seems to be used too easy by the characters, with little or no cost involved. The plot is straight forward and predictable, but entertaining.
The gem in this book is the narrator. I've never listened to a Phil Gigante performance, but I can say he is among the top narrators available on Audible.
If you enjoy sword and sorcery fantasy Throne will be worth your credit. I only gave it 3 stars because I felt it was a bit empty when all was said and done. I like my fantasy with a little more meat to it, but I'll be listening to book 2 when it comes out.
"fabulous voices!"
The voice acting of Throne of the Crescent Moon by Gigante is superb. I listen to a lot of audios and this one is one of the best out there. This isn't just a recitation of a paper product, this is stage acting.
One of the strongest points of this book is Ahmed's the phenomenal characterization. These are real people with real motivations and concerns that I really care about. Gigante's acting is illustrative of the depth of personalities that Ahmed has written.
I love that you can hear Adoulla's tired old bones and Raseed's righteous indignation. You can hear the busyness of the Dhamsawaat streets.
And it sounds to me like things are pronounced correctly, which is so critical to making an audio version being immersive, as Throne of the Crescent Moon is.
The first time I heard Mouw Awa? yeah, my hair stood on end. It's *that* good.
"Fun adventure story, but the narrator is too hammy"
I have a feeling I'd take this novel more seriously if it were read by someone who didn't feel compelled to overact. Phil Gigante seems popular, but I found him often nearly painful to listen to. His conceptions of the characters are cartoonish -- each one has only one mood as far as he's concerned. Since the Bedouin girl is initially angry and snappish, she always sounds angry and snappish, even when she's supposed to be talking about tender feelings. I might try another Saladin Ahmed novel in the future. I like the Middle Eastern context, and I have hopes he'll get past the modified superhero storyline, but I'll stay away from Gigante narrations from now on.
"Great (non European!) Fantasy"
I bought this book after reading the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms trilogy and was looking for another fantasy novel with persons of color. This fit the bill perfectly!
I really enjoy listening to fantasy audiobooks because I can hear how different words are pronounced. Gigante also does creepy voices really well which makes the villains come alive.
The story is a little predictable and I felt the ending was a little rushed, but I would definitely read/listen to another book by Ahmed.
"A ghulish tale"
Good against evil
While the book seemingly focuses on the fight of good against evil, really it is a book about introspection. The key characters in the book are all reassessing their lives during their struggle. Their inner struggles trump the outer struggles in my mind. Looking forward to their future adventures.
Cannot pick one
I never want to listen in one sitting
"Well done"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The adventure and spooky enemies made the book interesting at first, but I was more drawn in to the relationships that developed among all the characters - each of which are very important. It was interesting to see how Ahmed portrayed people with varying degrees of spirituality, or at least the spectrum of how we decide to interpret religious works. I really recommend reading it.
"Fantastic story and fantastic narration"
This is one of the best fantasy stories I've ever had the joy to experience and the superb narration added that much more to it. The pacing, characters, and conflict were all written with a master craft-person's touch.
"Amazing Action Fantasy"
I would totally listen to it again. There's so much to it, I'm sure I didn't catch all the fun details the first time around. I'd also love to revisit these characters again. They come alive in the story.
My favorite character was Zamia the Bedouin. It was wonderful to see a young woman character who is smart and tough, and does not wait to be rescued all the time. She acts and fights like the warrior she is, while still being believable as a young woman.
There are so many. I enjoyed the scenes the where Abdulla and Racid battle the sand ghouls, the scene where Lita and Racid fight the Humble Students, all of the scenes with the Falcon Prince. But I also loved the homey scenes at the tea house and the scenes between Abdulla and Miri. Characters and action are equally developed in this well rounded story.
The ending made me tear up.
Phil Gigante gives a masterful performance of this brilliant work. I'm really glad I listened to this as an audio book before reading it. Wonderful work all around!
"Fun Adventure"
The narrator is good. Easy to understand and fun to listen to. The adventure is fun for what it is. If you like Sword and Sorcery type stuff, or need a lighter novel to space between super-long fantasy books, I would recommend this.
"Sci-fi infused w/ Asian, Arabic Culture & Religion"
Without giving much away, this story tells of the supposed last adventure of a old, ready-to-retire ghoul hunter, Adoulla in the company of his sanctimonious young apprentice, Raseed. In seeking out a terrible ghul backed by ancient dark magic, the duo uncover a political coup and a long forgotten legend relating to the history of the monarchy.
The narrator is brilliant in bringing to life a story rich with Arabic and/or Indian myths, culture and religious anecdotes and touched by tales of long lasting love, friendship and duty. It is this Arabian/Asian infusion that sets this sci-fi book apart from those I've read. I really did enjoy it, failing to put it down as while it may have been slightly predictable in issues of romance, much of the book leaves the reader in great suspense, even fear and arouses intellectual curiosity and intrigue throughout. I would gladly follow this kind/class of sci-fi.

European horse producers can teach us a lot
Published 07/11/2012 | 06:00
With more than 700 of the world's top young showjumping horses competing at the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) jumping championships this year, the event was the perfect opportunity for Irish breeders to examine the type of horse required for the top flight.
In September, Declan McArdle and I accompanied 30 Irish producers to the event in Lanaken, Belgium, as part of Teagasc equine educational tour.
Here are some of the highlights of our trip, including several stud farm visits.The first thing that struck us on arrival at Lanaken is the sheer size of the complex. It takes six weeks to erect all the stands, marquees, tents and covered practice arenas for the four days of the show and another three weeks to dismantle.
With start lists in hand, we all set off in different directions to watch the qualifier classes for five-, six- and seven-year-old horses, which were taking place simultaneously in different arenas.
There were 240 horses entered in the five-year-old class, a further 269 in the six-year-old class and 194 in the seven-year-old class, so it is no mean feat to reach the finals of this competition.
The five-year-olds jump 1m25 in the qualifiers and 1m30 against the clock in the final or 1m25 in the consolation class.
The six-year-old qualifiers feature a 1m30 qualifying track and only the top 30 horses go forward to the 1m35 final against the clock. Seven-year-old horses jump 1m40 in the qualifiers, 1m35 in the consolation class and 1m45 in the final.
The demands on young horses are high at Lanaken. Given the hectic season our Irish Sport Horses (ISH) have at home prior to Lanaken, it is a big ask for these young horses to compete at their best from beginning to end.
This is a show where there is no forgiveness from day one, so horses must start well and keep the performance up.
Perhaps the calendar here at home should be addressed in this regard. The ISH horses certainly put up a good fight and we should be very proud of them. Five of the 15 ISH team horses made it through to finals on Sunday.
The best performer in the finals was the bay Darco stallion Codarco, ridden by Thomas O'Brien. With a little more luck on our side, we could have been in line for more great results but the clock took its toll unfortunately.
Whilst at Lanaken, our group had an opportunity to do course walks with Comdt John Ledingham, Tom Holden, Edward Doyle, and Jack Doyle. This is something that breeders should try, in order to understand the demands of the tracks and what questions course builders are asking.
Perhaps this is an area that could be developed for breeders here at home as both riders and course builders are only too happy to share their knowledge.
As part of the trip, our group also visited the farm of Ludo Phillipaerts and his sons.
Ludo shot to fame back in the late 80s and early 90s through his success on the stallion Darco.
Darco still plays a significant role in the damlines of many of the mares on the farm and consequently in many of the riding horses.
The Phillipaerts stud is a fabulous facility with no expense spared, including a wall dedicated to showcasing Ludo's successes in the saddle. However, our main interest was in quizzing the farm manager who looks after the mares and youngstock.
The stud carries a sizeable number of mares and youngstock on an outside farm.
Taking a look at one group of mares, we could see they were a nice looking bunch of mares with good toplines, mostly correct, and good length to their bodies and limbs. But not only that, they had all either jumped themselves to 1m30 or above or were very closely related to horses who had. The pedigrees were deep in performance attributes.
We discovered that they tend to put the three-year-old fillies in foal and take a foal off them at four in order to see what they will be like as potential broodmares.
Next, the mares are put under saddle and a further selection takes place. Those that are good enough progress to jumping and may enter an embryo transfer programme.
The foals are jumped loose over a small fence after weaning in order to gauge their ability and then left alone until they reach two years of age.
At two, they are loose jumped perhaps four times, again over small fences through a grid.
In fact, the farm is slow to compete their young horses. For those horses with talent, all the focus is on producing them slowly for the sport rather than the sales ring. These talented horses will not compete before they are six years old, and then only lightly.
Our group had the opportunity of speaking to world champion Philippe le Jeune at Lanaken and he also emphasised that too much jumping at a young age was not beneficial in the long term.
He insisted that they were animals, not machines, and must be treated as such, a point that Comdt John Ledingham had made earlier in the day.
Interestingly, the attitude to soundness of wind and limb at the Phillipaerts stud did not appear to be as stringent as here in Ireland.
Their attitude to wind unsoundness was that the majority of issues are rectifiable with veterinary intervention.
This means that as breeders, we need to be careful to ask the right questions when sourcing bloodstock from abroad.
All two year olds on the farm are x-rayed. With regard to OCD and bone chips, they seem to have a more relaxed approach being critical only of multiple chips. So again, caution is required on our part.
Next, our group travelled to visit another local breeder, Gerard Lenaerts of Stud Farm Overis. There we saw some very nice foals that had already been sold for in excess of €10,000.
Gerard has a band of 25 mares and annual costs of €200,000, which must be earned to keep the business running. He uses embryo transfer for some of his mares and chooses popular commercial stallions on all his mares.
All the dams have performance pedigrees and have performed themselves or are closely related to performers. Nothing is left to chance, he insisted, adding that he uses the internet extensively to market his youngstock.
The group were given the chance to view a small number of two-year-olds still on the farm. One by one, they were pulled out into a small paddock built specially for the job of loose schooling.
Each of the young horses was allowed to show its paces loose and jumped over a grid of fences.
Afterwards, the group were taken to a cosy café to chat about the horses and pass around business cards. It was clear to all that Gerard is a consummate professional when it comes to marketing his horses. We have a lot to learn from our foreign counterparts in this regard.
Finally, we took the opportunity to Z Quality Auction at Zangersheide Stud, where we first had to come to grips with the fact that in many cases, the foal is with its embryo transplant recipient mare rather than its own dam.
With 57 foals on offer, the auction had a turnover of €568,000. The average foal price was €9,965 and 16 foals sold for more than €10,000.
The top price paid was €26,000, achieved by a colt foal Taloubet Z x Berlin x Germus R. Its great-grandam jumped at Grand Prix level and its great great granddam won the EC Young Riders for Great Britain and also produced AD Uceline, who jumped to 1m60.
While there were some pretty ordinary models among the foals, a few stood out above the rest. In general though, the foals had good toplines and active hind legs, as well as performance damlines.
We hope the group gained some useful insights from our time with the various professionals who so willingly offered of their time at Lanaken.
We look forward to organising the next Teagasc educational tour in the not too distant future and welcome any suggestions for the next trip.

Posted on 08/02/2012 7:29:29 PM PDT by MinorityRepublicanEdited on 08/02/2012 8:11:00 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
After all the shouting, tweeting and protesting is over, the fried-chicken empire of Chick-fil-A will be just fine. Sales at the company, which recently leapt into the debate over gay marriage, may even get a lift in the near term.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
"a business that has misjudged its bigger audience. "
Pray tell who, exactly, is this "bigger audience"?
The "public" has voted down gay "marriage" every single time it's been put to a vote.
The scoreboard is something like 37-zip.
Since the author of this piece, John Bussey, writes from Washington DC, he thinks that's "controversial."
Beats me. I thought they where judging their audience just fine.
The 1%er's (the gay/lesbo/libs) that won't eat there probably wouldn't have before the flap anyways.
Written by a moron.
Chick will see a large surge in consumers in the short term, and a small surge in the long term. There is a large enough percentage of people who've never been to a Chick-Fil-A who will patronize them from here on to overshadow the loss of consumers engaged in a permanent boycott. It's a win/win for Chick.
Friend told me today, she went there and tried to eat. The wait in line was an hour and a half. The parking lot was full, they had cops directing traffic. And this was in Indiana.
I had never heard of this franchise. If I ever encounter one in my travels though, I will immediately stop and buy a chicken sandwich with waffle fries.
Dream on. Chic Fil A appealed to the majority. This issue is a financial gold mine!
Gee, does anyone think the homosexual kiss in ( which will gross out any normal person who may wonder in and make them a new Chic Fil A traditional marriage supporter) is going to be anywhere near as massive?
The freaks will assemble, and the normal people will be laughing their butts off at the kinky freak show. It'll be like the Jerry Springer show - Live. Every kind of weirdo will be there.
The homos think people go to see their parades to support them. They have no idea people go because the freak show is free. Circuses used to make people pay for that stuff.
Can I make an observation, about this article in particular and media coverage in general?
Chick Fill A did not leap into the gay marriage controversy. They did not seek this out. Their owners are devout Christians. One of those owners gave an interview with a Baptist magazine. Somehow this interview made its way into the MSM, where the liberals went into their outrage routine. The owners did not launch a campaign against same-sex marriage.
The point is, the liberals picked this fight with Chick Fill A. Don't you see what is happening? The liberals decided to pick this fight, to damage this company, and to teach a lesson to others, as to what would happen to them if they get on the wrong side of the liberal homosexual mafia.
Over at the dumpster they are all echoing each other that in the long run, they will lose out.
Conveniently glossing over the fact that homo marriage has been defeated everywhere it has come up for a vote.
They got the orders to climb Mount Nikita and now, like Yamamoto supposedly said, "they have awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve."
Having homo marriage become part of the rat platform is just gravy.
He wasn't telling the 'public', he was being interviewed by a Baptist newspaper.
A member of the gaystopo saw it, and now they won't rest until the man is prosecuted for his personal beliefs.
It's just the way they are.
I'd take the WSJ seriously if they would have been right about anything in the last ten years. Seems they are little more than NY Times knockoff.
And Chic Fil A was well rewarded for speaking up. Their honesty was nothing short of blessed.
This should embolden any company that wants to side with the majority. It's one of the best advertising campaigns "never created" by a companies PR department.
Also, Rahm, everyone knows that Chicago values refers to city officials demanding bribes to do their jobs and gunfights in the streets like some third-world city.
"For the average consumer, let alone the average Chick-fil-A consumer, this kind of thing goes right over their heads."
Guess he didn't see the pictures of how heavily patronized CFA was all across the country. What a clueless and condescending comment. Compare contrast- CFA/ JCPenny stock drop.
What color is the sky on this guy's planet? He must have missed yesterday's big show of support, which, along with everything else, probably brought in new customers who hadn't tried it before and just did so to show support for the 1st Ad or the owner's principles, and may come back in the future. It's hard to buy advertising this good.
Yeah, that is usually leftist, suck up to the intellectual elite, lame stream newspapers with "the customer is always wrong" attitude, and cratering circulation numbers, that do this.
I think the NFL owners love the fact that LA doesn't have a team. With the threat to move to LA, all of them can get new stadiums from the tax paying chumps. On the other hand, once a team moves to LA then the threat of the remaining teams moving to Portland, Oregon (largest metropolitan area without a team in easy driving range) just won't scare a stadium out of the current teams' cities.
Chick-fil-A did not leap into anything. It was dragged into a controversy of others' invention.
Dear Dilbert, you couldn't be more spot on! And the majority knows it.
Ick! Nasty and very bitter. Also probably suffering from human spongiform encephalopathy.
"Chick will see a large surge in consumers in the short term, and a small surge in the long term."
Well put and on the money, I think.
I heard a report on the radio that the franchise in Racine was packed from opening to closing. A caller on local talk radio said that he couldn't get in at lunch, so he took his family there for supper around 7:30 pm. The line was around the mall and out the door.
Mall security told him that he probably wouldn't make it into the resturant before Mall closing, but he elected to wait in line anyway. He said everyone in line was jovial and friendly. One person went to a pizza place next door and bought slices of pizza for some of the customers waiting in line.
Chick-fil-a managers came out with free cookies for those waiting in line, but Mall Security wouldn't let them pass them out. At the end, the people who couldn't get in the restaurant to eat took up a collection and donated money.
When the 9 pm closing was announced and the doors shut, those still waiting in line applauded and cheered Chick-fil-a. The talk show host was flabbergasted. He said he'd hever heard of such a reaction in all the years he'd tried to get people to attend meetings, etc.
The chain probably won't be a big hit in Northeast and Pacific Northwest so expansion into those places are unlikely.
We stopped tonight at 9:30 p.m. to grab a late dinner after a long day of meetings. The parking lot was full, inside the restaurant was full and both drive-thru lanes were jammed. Wonder if they are people who are left over from yesterday.
I was actually having a bad case of Peach Shake withdrawal and needed a "fix". Young lady at the drive-thru window said they were "so out of everything ice cream". There were two very large trucks there with more supplies. So happy for them.
I did not even know what this place was about (Chick-fil-A) until a week ago... But from now on, when I want fast food, I will go there!...
Somehow, the sandwich and the potatoes tasted especially good... :)
Jeff Bezos donated a considerable amount to pro-gay marriage groups last week.
1. Any calls for boycotts?
2. Any 'controversy' for a CEO entering a political matter?
3. Any protests?
Nothing. Barely a blip on the MSM radar because he supported the cause they support.
The goal here was to reframe the entire argument so that anyone for traditional marriage — 90%+ of the country — is now intolerant /extreme / hate speech / in danger of losing business or reputation.
Push the debate far to the left and create a new center line.
From "Do what you want in private and leave the rest of us alone" to "indoctrinate your children, use whatever bathrooms they want, marry and have all rights that implies, and anyone speaking against them is arrested."
There are so many scriptures that this whole episode reminds me of..... Romans 8:31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.... Deuteronomy 6:10-12 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
"We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore" This is much deeper than a discussion of free speech, homosexual rights, or supporting a companys right to conduct business as they see fit.
What we are witnessing here is the beginning of the end of a fundamental shift in the common mans ability to express his distain for the Liberal ruling elite who for years have tired to shape and guide public opinion towards their twisted views.
Average Americans have so many more avenues to absorb true knowledge and factual evidence of what is happening in today's world. We see the decline in values, the wickedness around us, the propaganda forced on us and our children and finally we are tired and ready to something about it. The TEA Party was born of this awareness.
What the question is now for patriots and common sense Americans is how far we will go to right the wrongs a hundred years of progressive liberalism has caused in the country's slide to communism.
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Our Fore Fathers deserve our very best, whatever that is.
So far the Gaystapo has managed to:
Show two faggies liplocking & giving the finger outside a CF-A (fag poster childs already)
Send some gay creep in to berate a Chick Fil-A employee and get his sorry @ss fired (hope U like ramen 7 days a week loser)
Get some lib to block the drive-up with his car & get arrested
Tomorrow's Gay Highwater Mark Day. It's all downhill after that. So tired of these drama queens.
Or should we call it Hetero Liberation Day!
"The Cluck Heard Round the World"
And, "may even get a lift in the near term."
I'd say that having to close your doors early `cause you ran out of food is an uplifting sign for a restaurant.
The Wall Street Urinal. One micron to the right of Newsweek.
Maybe. Ya think?
Correct. If they had just released statements calling on people to "boycott" the chain for Mr. Cathy's beliefs this would not have turned into what it was. What they did was not only attack his beliefs, but they attacked his very right to believe them by threatening to take actions to prevent his business from being able to do business and using the power of government to do so. That's when the battle lines got drawn. This was an attack not only on beliefs but on the right to even have the beliefs. And the people responded.
This sorry article is a reminder that while the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal is conservative, the rest of the paper is not.
The liberal, globalist corporate CEO's have been sticking their fingers in the American middle class' eyes with their radical social and political agenda.
It's true that elitist liberals will all gang up against the moral guy in American business, but it might turn out the limo-liberals get their hats handed to them as they have in the past. They should not be involved in unpopular, fringe causes like promoting gay marriage, sluthood and gay sex. They are even sexualizing children.
As odd as it sounds to this limo liberal at the WSJ to hear a business man speak about God's moral authority, it is even wierder to see coproate CEO's promoting anal and child sex around the globe. It's abusive, filthy and unhealthy behavior and mentalities.
it is "arrogant" and "inviting God's judgment" for supporting something controversial, such as gay marriage.
Mr Cathy did nothing of the kind. This crap is coming from the WSJ? I don't know how their franchises do businesswise elsewhere, but around here they are packed every day of the week. They have a very good product and that drives their customer base
If you don't see one on the street, they are in just about any mall food court
Indeed! :)
Little has changed. L.A. doesn't need NFL football, and good chicken joints don't need big eastern cities.
Best observation I've seen today
Hey Karl, where do you think the Browns will be going?
Chick will see a large surge in consumers in the short term, and a small surge in the long term.
CFA just got vaulted into the big time. The family has always been wise about expansion, don't over do it. No foreign franchises for instance. They will do well as people who never ate there sample their product.
The queer kiss in is Friday the third. I'll be going there to buy,because the queers won't be. I'll have some fun if there are any freaks there. Nothing hateful, but fun

South Korean scientists have dramatically sped up the creation of human embryonic stem cells, growing 11 new batches that for the first time were a genetic match to injured or sick patients.
It is a major advancement in the quest to grow patients' own replacement tissue to treat diseases.
The same scientists last year were the first to clone a human embryo. Now they have improved, by more than tenfold, their efficiency at culling these master cells, thus making pursuit of therapeutic cloning more practical.
"I didn't think they would be at this stage for decades, let alone within a year," said Dr. Gerald Schatten of the University of Pittsburgh. He acted as an adviser to the Korean lab in analyzing its data, which was being published Friday in the journal Science.
"This paper will be of major impact," said stem-cell researcher Dr. Rudolph Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass. "The argument that it will not work in humans will not be tenable after this."
This research is not cloning to make babies. Instead, scientists create test-tube embryos to supply stem cells, the building blocks which give rise to every tissue in the body and which are a genetic match for a particular patient, preventing rejection by the immune system.
If scientists could harness the regenerative power of those stem cells, they might be able to repair damage from spinal cord injuries, diabetes, Parkinson's and other diseases.

Patriot Pastors: raising God's army
Sunday's New York Times carried a chilling piece on the religious right's efforts to sweep state and local elections in 2006 by enlisting "2,000 evangelical, Baptist, Pentecostal and Roman Catholic leaders in a network of so-called Patriot Pastors to register half a million new voters, enlist activists, train candidates and endorse conservative causes in the next year." It seems the good old-fashioned Ohio Republican Party isn't conservative enough for the religious activists, who call themselves Patriot Pastors.
"The establishment of the Ohio Republican Party is out of touch with its base," said Russell Johnson, the pastor of the Fairfield Christian Church and the principal organizer of the project. "It acts as if it lives in Boston, Mass."

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ Researchers at the University of Kansas are studying bees for new types of engineering technology.
Rudolf Jander is professor of animal behavior. He and two students are watching how European honeybees find their way back to their hives when disoriented. They say the research could be used to design new types of unmanned space vehicles or safer firefighting techniques.
One of the students is trying to train bees to find their way back to their hives. He sets out licorice-smelling syrup on two tables, spaced 15 meters apart, and watches how bees taste the syrup and return to their hives.
The researchers then plan to confuse the bees by moving the syrup to other tables and then moving the tables themselves to see how the bees adapt.

Forecast Horoscope
Das The cheerful and inexpensive forecast for one year.
The means by which you revive and renew a relationship will vary according to your temperament. If a relationship is quite unsatisfactory and you are naturally impulsive, you may respond in the "classic" manner by seeking a new love affair. If you are more conservative and also happier in an existing relationship, you will go through a period of tension that will lead you to reexamine the relationship and make necessary changes. If you are living with your partner and having problems now, a relationship counselor might be helpful. You need new ideas to enliven your relationship, which an outsider might be able to provide. Some couples create new arrangements under this influence, such as an open relationship, in which they allow relationships outside of their own. In this regard you must do what is appropriate for the two of you.
If you are not in a permanent relationship, you may become involved in a relationship that is completely different from anything you have experienced before. However, in this case, you should be aware that the excitement and newness of such a relationship may be a large factor in making it work, and when it becomes older and more routine it might not last.
If you are involved in an artistic activity, you will brim over with new ideas. This can be a very creative influence, although you may have to wait until it is over to integrate what you have learned into your regular techniques. Jupiter opposition Sun: A turning point From 8 August 2016 until 18 August 2016: This can be and usually is a very positive time. But you can make more or less out of it, depending upon how you handle it. In most ways it represents a period of culmination in your life, and you will be tempted to expand beyond any reasonable limit. There is no question that you have a good chance for success in any one of a number of endeavors at this time and, within reason, you should pursue them. However, you should not restrict yourself solely to material and physical growth now. Even if you don't have all the material goods that you want, you should turn your attention to spiritual and inner needs. Ultimately, nothing satisfies like satisfaction. Objects that you acquire, possessions, money, and even social prestige are merely devices to make you feel that you have satisfaction. They are not the state of satisfaction itself. It is your inner difficulties that make your life less than it could be, even if you have corresponding problems in the material world. You must look for the solutions within yourself, and this time represents a turning point, where you should begin to look for the answers. Under this influence, the tendency is to go after everything that you want in the material world without caring especially about whoever is in your way, to gather as much stuff as you can and indulge yourself in what you want. Then, as the influence subsides, you may feel that this effort has failed, leaving your life as empty as it was before. Do not be arrogant toward others or assume that you have everything right. Through meaningful encounters with others, especially intimate one-to-one encounters, you can find out which way you should go at this time. Work with another person and think in terms of mutual growth. By trying to achieve goals set by both of you and by trying to be a twosome, you each will become more conscious of what you are as an individual. If you can recognize the real meaning of this influence in terms of your own life, this can be an extremely productive and growth-oriented time, a period that will always have meaning for you. Jupiter conjunction IC: Your inward needs From 30 August 2016 until 9 September 2016: This is a time for expansion and growth in your innermost personal life, a time when you will seek security at home and with your immediate family. It may be necessary to reexamine your past life to find out what it can teach you about yourself. But this should not be a source of anxiety. In fact, you should feel quite good about what you learn at this time. The symbolism of this influence is that you incorporate more and more of the outer world into your innermost life. On the material level, you may buy a larger, more elegant or more spacious home. Certainly it would be a good expression of this symbolism to improve your existing home and make it more comfortable. At this time you should do everything to ensure that your personal life is as comfortable and secure as possible. You need to have a feeling of inner peace and security in order to continue to move out in the world. In fact you should not think so much about outward success now as about the more personal and inward needs that we have discussed here. And you should realize that your real need now is not land or a larger home, but a feeling of strength and inner growth. This is the time to tie up any loose ends in your personal life, straighten out any relationships that are not working well, any leftovers from your past life that are still affecting the present adversely. To do this you may have to speak to others very openly about yourself and your innermost thoughts. So this is a good time to settle and put down roots. The feeling of belonging to a place and a group of people is very important to you now. You don't have to do this in a way that limits your freedom of movement, and during this time it is very unlikely that you will do so. But everyone needs a solid home base so that they can feel at peace in their other activities. If you don't make an effort to construct such a base now, you will have difficulty later when your principal concerns are turning elsewhere. Jupiter square Jupiter: Impending shortages Mid-November 2016 until end of July 2017: With this influence it is very important that you keep your affairs from getting out of hand. There is a strong tendency to excess, which may make it impossible to keep up with whatever you are involved in, simply because it is more than you can handle. Be particularly careful concerning financial matters, for you are likely to spend without thinking, confident that there is an abundance of money or other resources to back you up. You may not notice the pinch immediately, but shortly after this period you may experience shortages that will be severely exacerbated if you spend money foolishly now. But money is not the only area of concern. You may be overcommitted to projects that demand more time than you really have. So in every area of your life, make sure that you really have the time or resources to do what you have set out to do. Do not overestimate the resources at your disposal. If you avoid that pitfall, this can be a very fruitful influence, because it gives you more confidence and optimism and allows you to undertake projects that you would ordinarily be reluctant to take on. Also your basically positive attitude helps to ensure that your affairs will turn out the way you want. Under this influence some persons experience a kind of ego inflation in which they have delusions of grandeur or overestimate their self-importance. This can lead to arrogant behavior and inflated pride with little or no real substance behind it. What this influence does is test your sense of proportion. You have to know what you really can and cannot do and who you really are. Insofar as you fulfill those conditions, this influence will give you apparent luck and greater power to achieve.

Lysacek Wins Figure Skating Gold
By slightly more than a point, Evan Lysacek of the U.S. won his throw-down with Russian rival Evgeni Plushenko, claiming the gold medal Thursday in men's figure skating.
Mr. Lysacek, who was ranked second after Tuesday's short program, skated a clean long program Thursday that nailed both jumps and spins -- yet lacked the quadruple toe loop, figure skating's most physically demanding move. That won him a combined score of 257.67.
"I couldn't have asked for much more than to have my personal best at the most important moment in my life,'' said Mr. Lysacek, after his performance.
Mr. Lysacek's win also proved it's possible to be No. 1 without performing the quad, where the skater leaps up and twirls four times in the air. The skater stopped doing the maneuver last year, after a broken foot made it too painful.
The brash Mr. Plushenko, who's called the quad the "future of figure skating,'' landed one early in Thursday's program, but lost points for sloppy execution and wobbly jumps elsewhere. He scored a total of 256.36 for the short and long programs.
The quad proved risky for other less sure skaters. Japan's Daisuke Takahashi, who took home bronze, attempted one and fell, costing him points. Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland, who performed two quads -- both a bit shaky in execution -- still ended the night ranked behind Messrs. Lysacek and Plushenko, largely because his moves weren't as clean as they should have been.
The Olympic battle between Messrs. Lysacek and Plushenko is philosophical as well as physical. Mr. Plushenko has argued that figure-skating should be like any other sport: It should feature tougher and tougher feats of physical prowess. Mr. Lysacek notes that figure skaters are rewarded for form and consistency as much as anything else.
"If it was a jumping competition, they would give us 10 seconds to run and do your best jump,'' said Mr. Lysacek after his performance. "But it is a four minute and 40 second performance, about sustaining that level of skating, excitement and endurance.''
Mr. Plushenko remained dismissive of the way the performances were judged, even in defeat. "If you exclude quads then the males just do ice dancing,'' he said, after Mr. Lysacek's win. Mr. Plushenko did concede that Mr. Lysacek was a good skater.
Of course, Mr. Lysacek is no slouch at jumping either. Triple jumps are tough to land, and Mr. Lysacek's program had eight of them, several of them linked with other leaps in combination.
Steadiness also helped him on Thursday, compared to Mr. Plushenko, said Frank Carroll, Mr. Lysacek's coach. "Plushenko was brilliant in the jumping,'' said Mr. Carroll. "But his ... skating was up very brilliant and down.''

MIAMI (AP) - A Palestinian man has pleaded guilty in Miami to
federal charges of conspiring to obtain stolen military weapons and transport explosives to the Middle East.
Abdalaziz Aziz Hamayel, of the West Bank, faces up to five years

We were on holiday in Churchstoke and looking out for somewhere to eat in the area and found Checkers in Montgomery. It was one of the best meals we have ever had. A lovely intimate lounge area for drinks and nibbles, and a very helpful waitress who matched glasses of wine to each course. The food itself was stunning - subtle, tasty and memorable. I would recommend this place without hesitation. Dave
