"Now you know I'm going to be lambasted and called anti-Semitic… They'll say Farrakhan was up to his old canards; he said Jews control Hollywood. Well, they said it themselves! Jews control the media. They said it themselves! Jews and some gentiles control the banking industry, international banks. They do! In Washington right next to the Holocaust Museum is the Federal Reserve where they print the money. Is that an accident?"
Farrakhan: How many of you are lawyers? Only have one in the house? No wonder we go to jail so much, brother! But at the top of the law profession, who are the top in law?
Audience: Jews.
Farrakhan: Sorry I didn't hear you.
Audience: Jews!
Farrakhan: Any doctors in the house? Ain't got no doctors? Oh there's one way in the back. At the top of the medical profession, the top in that are members of the Jewish community. Anybody in media? Who's the top in that field?
Audience: Jews.
Farrakhan: Anybody a rapper in the house? There's rappers. You can rap, ain't nothing wrong with that, but at the top of that are those that control the industry. Any of you have Hollywood ambitions, Broadway ambitions? Who's the top of that?
Audience: Jews.
Farrakhan: Same people! They're masters in business. Well I'm not a businessman I'm a banker. Well who's the master of the bankers?
Audience: Jews.
Farrakhan: TALK TO ME!
Audience: Jews!
Farrakhan: You don't discredit them because they're masters, you discredit them by the way they use their mastery.
Audience: [applause]
Farrakhan: Now, I close.
"White Christians, [you saw the plight of blacks] but what did you do? You walked right by on the other side. Then along came the Jewish people. You did a little better. You came and looked at us: 'damn they're in bad shape! Let's see how we can take advantage of the shape that they're in.'"
"Do you know Jewish people were not the origin of Hollywood, but they took it over? "
"In 100 years, they control movies, television, recording, publishing, commerce, radio, they own it all. Magazines. Why do you want all, everything?"
"Did you know that the Koran says that Jews are the most violent of people. I didn't write it, but I'm living to see it."
"I think we have made a grave mistake; we have been deceived into thinking that the Jews have been our allies in our recent civil rights struggle... Yes, he poses as your friend. He's with you as an agent, he's with you as a manager, he's with you as an investor, he's with you as a guide in economic development, but he has never asked you to do what he has done. He networks with other rich, influential Jews and he buys, he invests, he's in trade and commerce."
"Some of you think that I'm just somebody who's got something out for the Jewish people. You're stupid. Do you think I would waste my time if I did not think it was important for you to know Satan? My job is to pull the cover off of Satan so that he will never deceive you and the people of the world again."
"If the white race is under the name Israel, where did the name Jew come from? Adam never said he was a Jew. Abraham didn't say he was a Jew. Moses didn't say he was a Jew. The name Jew comes after Judah. Hebrew is different. The original Hebrews look just like you. The original Hebrews are Black."
"How did we get a Black president? Because those Satanic Jews know the time that this is the time of your separation from them that God wants to give you a land of your own as the cornerstone of the Kingdom of GodÉ You didn't see when they got in the room and said Ôwe have to deceive them and through them deceive the entire world'É How could they be the chosen of God and leading the world into filth and indecency?"
"You can't do nothing in Hollywood unless you go by them. You a hip-hop artist? You can't do nothing, you gotta go by them. You want to be a great sports figure? They own that plantationÉ Children of Israel, they got you jumping through hoops."
"They stole land in PalestineÉ And this Synagogue of Satan knows that the end of their time of rule is up. The jig is up."
"If they go to war with Iran, which they're setting the stage for now, it'll be because the Zionists have pushed Obama to do their bidding andÉ to put a black face on an illegitimate war and use black and brown and poor white to fight a war for the Ashkenazi false Jews that have come out of Europe. These same people started apartheid in Africa. The same Jews are guilty of Jim Crow and the laws that segregated us and they're the same forces that are in Palestine right now telling Palestinians in their own land what roads they can travel on and what they're not free to travel on."
"White people, although they hated us, are not the architects of white supremacy. That started in Europe and it is here in America and we document the architecture of white supremacy in this volume, Volume 2 The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews."
"This thing called anti-Semitism this is what I want to deal with, so that never again when somebody is critical of Israeli policy or Jewish misbehavior that all of a sudden we are called anti-Semitic. I will prove to the world that those who even use the term are not Semitic at all."
"I know that by singling out not all Jews, but those specific irreligious Jews that the scripture calls the Synagogue of Satan, those who use their power to influence people away from the way of God, making evil fair-seeming to them … these irreligious Jews who claim they are Jews and they are not. They blaspheme the name of a Jew; a Jew is a good name. There's deception here and the deceiver and the deception has to be exposed."
"We could charge you with being the most virulent anti-Black group in the annals of our history. I didn't say we would, I said we could. I used the conditional tense. I said we could charge you with being the most deceitful person acting, playing with our friend while you have been our worst enemy."
"These who call us anti-Semitic are not Semitic at all. They have no connection whatsoever to the Holy Land. They are usurpers, land grabbers."
"You are of the Synagogue of Satan and therefore will be dealt with by God."
"Now, Jews are very sensitive people. If you even look like you're gonna criticize them they get very defensive. And you could say they're defensive because of what they suffered in Europe. That may be one reason. But the main reason is, see when somebody has lied, and stolen your birthright, the one thing they fear is not your guns, because they got some bigger. They don't fear your so-called scholarship 'cause they arranged your education. And they never taught you anything that would allow you to upset their rule. But what they fear most is the truth."
"I've asked [the Jewish people], 'since your people put ours in this condition, why don't you help me raise our people up from the degraded state that your people have put them in.'"
ŇTo all of those who feel that the children of Israel are over in that place they call Israel, you are mistaken.Ó
ŇOther than the Bible there is no historical record of anybody names Jews in bondage in Egypt in 400 yearsÉ you have to keep your eyes open for the game that may be put over on you by a smart crooked deceiver. Now there's no historical record of their suffering in bondage like thatŃnow they were freed from a bondage alrightŃbut that was in the hills and cave sides of Europe.Ó
ŇThese people have no legitimate connection to that land. They didn't come into existence in the Holy Land.Ó
ŇJewish people claim Abraham. Sorry. Sorry. I have to tell you the masquerade is over.Ó
ŇDo you know that in Europe in every nation where they were, they led an industry in commerce in trade in banking? And the gentiles were angry with them because everywhere they went, they ruled. So the gentiles rose up against the Jews and persecuted them in Europe.Ó
ŇWhen they came to America they went into the South and there they found common ground with the gentiles who hated black people, because that same Babylonian Talmud, the rabbis developed the myth of Ham. That you and I are the children of Ham, cursed, black, doomedÉ So when they got in the South they just fueled the gentiles with the curse of Ham and that has spread throughout the world. It has poisoned the bloodstream of Islam, of Christianity, of Judaism, of Communism, of Socialism.Ó
ŇI'm here to tell you no black man or woman becomes a multimillionaire without friendship in the Jewish communityÉ. Did you know that nearly all prominent Negro actors and musicians have or had Jewish sponsors and managers? ÉThey have a way of attaching themselves to your gifts, but you get nothing. They get it all.Ó
ŇAnd do you know that when our brother was elected, Jewish people wrote, as Bill Clinton was the first Black president, Barack Obama would be the first Jewish president. Now that's a terrible thing to say but they were telling you, Ôwe own the brother.' His early money came from Goldman Sachs. He was nurtured by Jews who saw in him his brilliance. He's a beautiful human being. And they knew that as brilliant as he was, they could use him to trick black people away from the promise of God.Ó
ŇHe's president now and he's upsetting them. Because all the Jewish presidents met him in the Oval Office and told him to go easy on Israel and settlements in the West Bank. And because he was strong out of Israel they started calling him what they been calling me: an anti-Semite.Ó
ŇA lecture like this has put me in deep trouble with those forces that run this world. I have never been more prepared in my life to do what it takes, even if it's the loss of my life, to free you. But I can tell you, they killed their last prophet when they killed Jesus.Ó
"I'm not an anti-Semite, I never have been one. I do not hate the Jewish people; put that down! What I hate is the degree of control that they exercise over Black intellectual, cultural expression. I do not think that no human being should determine how high we can go, that can only be determined by God and by us; not by no white man, no black man, no human being [crowd cheers]."
"Now the thinking of these neoconservatives is written of in scripture. In the book of Revelations, 2 and 9, it reads, 'I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not but are a synagogue of Satan.' What is the blasphemy? A Jew is a noble name. A Jew means one who is in a covenant relationship with God in obedience to the divine laws, statues and commandments of God. But these people claim to be Jews but they're not in obedience to God's law, they have given a mission of evil a divine look on it. And George W. Bush has swallowed that bait, hook line and sinker. The synagogue of Satan is a gathering of persons of like mind and spirit who are in opposition to the will of God. So Paul said we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers that are not of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.
"Dewey, Kant and Hegel, and the rabbis that wrote the Talmud, make blacks inferior."
"I call them the so-called Jews because to be a Jew you have to adhere to the statutes and laws that create the special relationship. How can you be a Jew and promote homosexual marriage?"
"See, you so called Jews Đ I'm not gonna give you the credit for being one of those that obey God. You portrayed us, you know what images do, that's why you jumped on Mel Gibson. But you painted us, big lips, red eyes, kinky hair, you put in the movies like that. You mocked our characteristics and made us to hate God's creation of us. You did that. Hollywood did thatÉ.You take our strongest, more courageous black minds, you think we don't see you? And you put us in Hollywood. You give us television shows, and then we gotta bug our eyes."
"You don't mention the horror of our suffering. Here's whyÉit's because of something called the Hamitic curse. Now I know that this is kinda rough. But according to the Babylonian scholars, writers of the Talmud, not the Torah, but Talmud. Now I want you to listenÉ.Look at this now, the Hamitic curse was written off in the Talmud 400 years after the birth of Jesus. And the way they wrote it was, I got to find the exact words, 'cause it's really powerfulÉ.Oh, Lord, let me find it. I'm gonna take my time. Oh boy, well I'm gonna say it, in the Talmud they talk abut because he looked at Noah in that condition and marked the redness of his eyes, the turning of his head made these kinks in his hair, the thickness of his lips Đ that's our features. We were black and cursed.
"But what you have in the Bible has been added to and taken away from by the Jews. Oh here goes this anti-Semite.' This Koran says that the Jews have altered the word of God out of its place. They did not want the masters of the people to know what Jesus really said, what Moses really said, because then you wouldn't have a yardstick to measure their deviations."
--"What is Islam?," speech at Mosque Maryam,Chicago, 11/23/03
"What had they done to deserve such a harsh judgment from God? Those who are Jews and those who are Christians, those who believe in Allah on the last day, they have their reward from their Lord. There are beautiful members of the Jewish community who are trying their utmost to follow the law and the teachings of Moses and the prophets that God sent to Israel. But there's another Jew who is not really a Jew. He is an imposter posing as Jew. In the Bible, in the book of Revelations [it] saysÉ 'Those who say they are Jews and are not, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan.' Who are the masters of Hollywood, how could you be a righteous Jew and promote that which is forbidden by the God of Israel? Come on now. How could you be a righteous Jew and publish the filth that is published daily feeding the minds of the American people and the people of the world filth and indecency, and making it fair seeming in their eye?"
"What is Islam?," speech at Mosque Maryam,Chicago, 11/23/03
"We know that the most powerful people in the country, many of whom are Jews, don't like Farrakhan."
What is Islam?," speech at Mosque Maryam,Chicago, 11/23/03
"Even though the Koran says and the prophet Mohammed predicted that the Mahdi would come, somebody would come as a guide. Why? Because his own community had lost the path that he had put them on. Christians, you have lost the path that Jesus put you on. And the Jewish or Hebrew community lost the path that Moses and the prophets of Israel put the Jewish people on. We're off that path."
--8th Anniversary The Holy Day of Atonement speech at Mosque Maryam, Chicago, 10/16/03
"When Jesus was preaching, his enemies were the scribes, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, He was preaching in the Roman Empire, and the people wanted to trap him for the Roman authorities. But under the Roman authorities were the Jewish religious authorities. They were wrapped in the law. But they were wrapped in the letter, but not in the spirit. Jesus was more than a man of the letter, Jesus was a man of the spirit. But he said, 'I didn't come to change the law. I came to fulfill that which was written in the law.' There's a whole lot difference between a man that gives the law and a man who fulfills what is written in the lawÉ He did something that they thought was contrary to the law. And sometimes when you're a religious hypocrite, you use your knowledge of the law to hide a self-righteous hypocrisy."
8th Anniversary The Holy Day of Atonement speech at Mosque Maryam, 10/16/03
"See how you can see Jesus in ancient Rome. See how you can use or see the rabbinical scholars, the Levites, the Sadducees, the Pharisees, and their attack on the master? É See how Pontius Pilate washed his hands of the matter? See how they [the Jews] brought him into court on false charges? See how they plotted to crucify him? And it's easy to sing about what was. It's difficult to believe that what was, is. The Rome of yesterday is nothing to the America of today."
8th Anniversary The Holy Day of Atonement speech at Mosque Maryam, Chicago, 10/16/03
"You say I hate Jews. I don't hate the Jewish people, I never have. But there [are] some things I don't like. 'What is it you don't like, Farrakhan?' I don't like the way you leech on us. See a leech is somebody that sucks your blood, takes from you and don't give you a damn thing. See, I don't like that kind of arrangement. You become our manager, you become our agent. Every one of us that got talent, we can't make it because you opened the door, and when you opened the door you get and we end up dead with nothing, owing the IRS."
"So from that point on, when I said that, the next day, in New York, a rabbi was on television calling me the new black Hitler. Now what is that? You are so used to black people cowing down that you're not used to a man talking to another man? So you're gonna call me Hitler, a man who had nothing in his heart but the murder of Jews. You're gonna put that on me, so that any of your children will feel that it's an honor for me to be dead. And then some of them come out where I'm speaking, said, 'Who do you want, Farrakhan! How do you want him? Dead.' Did you think we were gonna take that crap sitting down? Do you want to ignite revolution all over America? Is that what you want? Do you want the anger of God? So what I'm saying to my Christian friends-there has not been a black leader in America locked in a struggle with the Jewish community but Louis Farrakhan. Now open your eyes. Name me one. When it comes to someone being a black anti-Semite who do they single out, who is made the litmus test when you go to work and they ask you what do you think about Farrakhan? They ain't asking you a damn thing about nobody else. Why me? Did you ever stop to consider who are the scribes. The Latin word, scribo, meaning 'I write.' For 18 years they have written against me, more than any black leader before or since. The scribes, who are these Pharisees? See, who are they, who are these guys? They call themselves Muslims. But they're not true. That's what they said about Jesus. He wasn't true. Because you felt he went outside of the law."
"I'm not into integration. I ain't for that. God told the Jews, he didn't want you intermarrying with others. But you disobeyed him. He don't want us uniting into this that he's come to judgeÉ You can't integrate with wickedness if you want righteousness."
"You can go to Palestine, called Israel today, you can see Sodom, you can see Gomorrah, ain't nothing built there. God hadn't let anything be built there to show you his displeasure against homosexual behavior. Now the church says it's all right. I was an Episcopalian before I was a Muslim, and I liked my church. I can't remember anybody in the church, if they were gay they were hiding that. They were sure acting like men, you know what I mean."
"I don't hate Jews. I honor and respect those who try to live according to the teachings of the Torah, but you can't criticize Jewish people. If you criticize them you are anti-Semitic. If you don't agree with what they are doing, you are anti-Semitic. The Bible says, Revelations, those who say they are Jews and are not, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan. I don't hear you preaching that full Gospel. You are afraid of consequences. But no man can say he's a Jew and promote homosexuality. No man can say he's a Jew and promote that which is against the commandments of God. No man can say he's a Jew and run the despicable, degenerate movies. The filth and degenerate language."
Saviours' Day Speech, Chicago, 2/23/03
Farrakhan on past anti-Semitic remarks:
"I can never apologize for telling the truth... I can apologize for the
manner of telling the truth."
BET Tonight with Travis Smiley, 9/11/00-9/12/00
Farrakhan on Sen. Joseph Lieberman:

Los Angeles Times, 8/12/00
Farrakhan: "Is the Federal Reserve owned by the government?"
Audience: "No."
Farrakhan: "Who owns the federal reserve?"
Audience: "Jews."
Farrakhan: "The same year they set up the IRS, they set up the
FBI. And the same year they set up the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai
B'rithÉ It could be a coincidenceÉ [I want] to see black
intellectuals freeÉ I want to see them not controlled by members of
the Jewish community."
Dallas Observer on-line, 8/10/00
Farrakhan on Jewish control:
Farrakhan said that he is fighting the "inordinate control" some
Jews have over Blacks, particularly in entertainment and business.
Associated Press, 7/31/00
"They [the Jews] are the greatest controllers of Black minds, Black intelligence. They write the scripts -- the foolish scripts on television that our people portray. They are the movie moguls that feature us in these silly, degrading, degenerate roles. The great recording companies that portray our people in such a filthy and low-rating way, yet they would not allow such a man as Michael Jackson to say one word that they thought would besmirch their reputation, but they put us before the world as clowns and as purveyors of filth. No, I will fight that."
Meet The Press interview, 10/18/98
"Of course, they [the Jews] have a very small number of people but they are the most powerful in the world, they have the power to do good and they have the power to do evil...Now what do the Jews do best? Well, they have been the best in finance that the world has ever known...They finance a lot of stuff in the world, and there's nothing wrong with that, but they are not good politicians, they are the worst politicians because they don't recognize really their friends and as well their enemies..."
Saviours' Day Speech, Chicago, 2/22/98
"I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government...Yes, they exercise extraordinary control, and Black people will never be free in this country until they are free of that kind of control..."
Meet The Press interview, 4/14/97
"To continue to point out the truth of that control and how that control never will allow us to be full and completely men, free, justified, and equal. Why should we be controlled by the power, influence, and money of others? We should not be under that kind of control...going to Jewish philanthropists, begging them for money to support our causes, and through that money, there is control, and that kind of control limits the freedom of our people to speak freely, write freely, think freely, and act as free men..."
"And you do with me as is written, but remember that I have warned you that Allah will punish you. You are wicked deceivers of the American people. You have sucked their blood. You are not real Jews, those of you that are not real Jews. You are the synagogue of Satan, and you have wrapped your tentacles around the U.S. government, and you are deceiving and sending this nation to hell. But I warn you in the name of Allah, you would be wise to leave me alone. But if you choose to crucify me, know that Allah will crucify you."
Saviours' Day Speech, Chicago, 2/25/96
"I don't own Hollywood. Who depicted Black people? Who writes the books? Who writes the plays, the songs that make us look less than human? Do you mean to tell me that Jews have never done any evil to Black people?...Were they not involved in the slave trade? Yes, they were...and to the extent that they were involved, somebody has to bring them to account. And I believe that has fallen on me."

NIMS: Information Sharing for Results
By Lieutenant David J. Mulholland, U.S. Park Police, Washington, D.C.
re you a law enforcement executive interested in getting a piece of the recently released $1 billion in public safety interoperability grants (PSIGs)? Maybe you are considering a different Department of Homeland Security or Department of Justice block grant. Perhaps you are a law enforcement executive who is not looking to the federal government for grant funding but still has an interest in enabling the sharing of information among all primary and secondary responders during an incident response. If so, you now have a compelling interest in the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
In February 2003, U.S. president George W. Bush issued a Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-5) on the management of domestic incidents. The purpose of HSPD-5 is to "enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system." HSPD-5 directed the Department of Homeland Security to develop NIMS, which has been defined as a system that would "include a core set of concepts, principles, terminology, and technologies covering the incident command system; multi-agency coordination systems; unified command; training; identification and management of resources (including systems for classifying types of resources); qualifications and certification; and the collection, tracking, and reporting of incident information and incident resources."1 HSPD-5 also directed that all federal agencies begin using NIMS upon its publication and that, beginning in fiscal year 2005, NIMS compliance would become a prerequisite for state, local, and tribal public safety agencies to receive grant funding. Law enforcement officials who desire to benefit from a wide range of future funding opportunities must increase their knowledge of NIMS and the compliance of their agency information systems to NIMS specifications.
Information Sharing during an Incident
NIMS provides principles to organize incident response in a uniform manner (the Incident Command System), collect and share information during an incident (multiagency coordination systems), and notify the public before and during an incident (public information systems).
Law enforcement executives should look to the NIMS principles to ensure that information systems used during incident response allow for real-time information flows between participating agencies during an incident to develop a "common operating picture" available to all jurisdictions' disciplines. In addition to ensuring that field personnel and decision makers have a good understanding during the incident of all events that are occurring, an information-sharing system based on NIMS principles should both enable the collection and sharing of intelligence and sensitive information securely and provide information to public information officers to inform or warn the community as appropriate.
Core Requirements of NIMS
It is critical for a law enforcement executive to have a system in place that allows for the exchange of information (data) that meets NIMS requirements for information sharing. During an incident, or in preparation for an incident, data-sharing systems must be established that facilitate the exchange of real-time information, including across disciplines (police, fire, EMS, and transportation) and across jurisdictions. Real-time information, flowing freely and accessible by all stakeholders, is necessary to provide situational awareness for responders either in the field or at incident command centers.
A properly organized system permits incident commanders to provide strategic direction across all agencies involved in a response. These systems must be exercised and utilized during routine calls for service so that they may be easily implemented and managed during large-scale unexpected crisis events.
Real-time sharing of information is critical to incident commanders and responders, but it presents challenges such as ensuring that shared information is accurate. The information-sharing system should have a procedure to inform participants of the validity of any available information.
The system must facilitate the sharing of information using common terminology as defined in the Incident Command System and common language, so that there is no misinterpretation or confusion among disperse responding and participating agencies. Additionally, the system should facilitate information sharing with nongovernmental agencies—"nontraditional" secondary responders critical to incident response such as the American Red Cross, public utility companies, and so on.
To ensure that information is shared in a secure environment, the system must identify and authenticate users and allow them access only to the appropriate level of information, segregating law enforcement information from the general view and intelligence information from noncleared or nonvetted personnel.
The system should leverage current information-sharing standards such as the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) and the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EXDL), to name a few. The system should also incorporate the ability to import and utilize geospatial information.
Finally, the system should integrate with appropriate emergency operation centers (EOCs) and Joint Information Centers (JICs). JICs are clearinghouses within the NIMS structure designed primarily for facilitating information dissemination to the public through the public information officers whose agencies are involved in the incident.
CapWIN: A Case Study
The IACP recently conducted a comprehensive review of the Capital Wireless Information Net (CapWIN) to determine the level and extent that CapWIN met NIMS requirements. The CapWIN network is an incident management and information-sharing system in which over 35 agencies in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia participate. The analysis has shown that the system meets a great majority of the NIMS requirements. CapWIN provides the ability to post documents such as incident action plans (IAPs), emergency operation plans (EOPs), maps, resource listings and locations, and NIMS forms. Additionally, the system has the ability to export the incident data log directly into the NIMS-formatted incident log (ICS-214). Recommendations were made for minimal changes in nomenclatures to select fields to achieve NIMS common terminology. Agencies in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia can now look to CapWIN as a tool for achieving the informationsharing requirements of NIMS.
Law enforcement executives are encouraged to review their current systems that manage and enable information exchange between agencies during incidents to determine whether those systems fulfill the principles of NIMS. Executives considering procurement or adoption of information systems designed for incident response should closely examine whether those systems comply with NIMS principles.

Is Chavez Jr. Avoiding The Garcia Gym To Avoid Dedicating Himself To Training Or To Avoid Conflict?
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has often been criticised about his training (or lack of) habits by not just the fans but by his actual trainers. His lack of dedication has shown in his loss to Sergio Martinez and in the weight fiasco for the Vera fight which even had his dedicated fans wondering when he would dedicate himself to his preparation.
For a while those fans had an answer when it appeared that Chavez would begin training at Robert Garcia's gym in Oxnard, California but that has yet again changed.
Chavez is no longer going to train at Garcia's gym and will now be training with Vladimir Baldenebro in Santa Monica, California. His reasons for the change, the feud between Garcia's gym and Freddie Roach's gym where Chavez used to train out of.
"For now I am preparing with Vladimir Baldennebro," said Chavez. "I have not decided if we are going to adjust to a new coach. I will not be a part of the problems and I think there is a tense situation there and I do not want to be around people who can hard me and will continue now with Vladimir."
Could Chavez truly be avoiding the beef between the two gyms or is he settling for someone that will tolerate his training habits and will not force him to buckle down. His next performance could answer that question.

X-Men: The Last Stand
If you want to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hollywood is a cesspool of whoredom and back-door deal-making, just look at the credits of the writers responsible for this monstrous piece of crap.
Between them, Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn have written "XXX: State of the Union," "Elektra" and "Inspector Gadget." Now admittedly, screenwriting is a profession where one has very little control over the final product, but just how much talent does it take to write lines like "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" (unless you're William Congreve) and "take cover!" There are also two uses of the word "bitch" that I found offensive, but more than that, I found them lazy. They're unnecessary and pointless, and that in itself is profane.
Maybe there was simply a hack reunion going on while the movie was being made because the producers also brought in director Brett ("Rush Hour 2") Ratner, who has about as much talent as an avocado pit. He's replacing Bryan Singer and it's obvious that any personal connection to the material is now completely gone. "X-Men 3" is utterly witless, soulless and utilizes the kind of music that, were it played in an elevator, would inspire riders to shatter their skulls against the walls to seek relief. Seriously, I could easily do my whole review about the music. Imagine Barbie from the sorority down the street jamming her iPod buds into your ears and blasting the entire "American Idol" repertoire at a volume of "11" until the battery runs out and you get some idea of the kind of torture I'm talking about.
Ratner and the writers churn through their character development like starving squirrels discovering a secret stash of nuts. This edition begins with the government announcing that scientists have developed a cure for the mutant X gene. This sends Magneto (Ian McKellen) into a paranoid fit and Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) into defensive mode. Meanwhile, all the mutants, including Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), are trying to figure out what to make of Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), who's come back from the dead and has incredible new superpowers, including one that allows her to stand around and stare off into space while doing absolutely nothing for seemingly hours on end. Seriously, Janssen has this look on her face throughout the entire movie that screams "Help me. I'm in a really bad movie and I know it."
Internet chatter about the film has been dominated by curiosity about Angel (Ben Foster), a winged mutant whose ability to fly seems to stem from the fact that he'd easily get his ass kicked if he landed in one place for too long. Sadly, you could cut out every scene the character is in and the film would lose nothing, except maybe some audible groaning.
Hopefully, I made my last stand during an X-Men movie when I got up to leave the theater.

Cost Plus opens new store in Woodinville
by Deborah Stone
Cost Plus World Market recently celebrated the grand opening of its Woodinville store, marking the retailer's sixth store in the Seattle area.
The store, known for its spirited and eclectic approach to retail, has approximately 18,000 square feet filled with an array of home decor items, casual furnishings, tabletop accessories, decorative gifts and gourmet foods and beverages, all imported from countries around the world.
Founded in 1958 when a San Francisco businessman blended his passion for travel and retailing by selling shiploads of imported wicker he found during his trips through Asia, the company has grown to 143 stores in nineteen states.
With its international flavor, great variety and competitive prices, Cost Plus has developed a recipe for success that has allowed the company to continue its expansion across the country. It carefully reviews local demographic data to select new locations for its stores, focusing on key factors including a well educated population, strong numbers of homeowners with household incomes above $50,000 and a high number of women, 25 to 55 years old.
Buyers for the company search the world visiting remote villages, old, established factories and covered bazaars for unusual products to bring home to display in the stores. Some of these unique items include baskets from Indonesia, chocolates from Belgium, pottery from Italy, handcrafted iron candlesticks from India, masks from Ghana and recycled wood furniture from Indonesia, along with eighteen varieties of olive oil and 500 different wines.
The Woodinville location has already attracted hoards of shoppers who had been eagerly awaiting the opening of the store, after watching its construction during the past year.
"We have had a great response since opening," comments Sarah Mohrmann, the store's assistant manager. "The parking lot has been full and the place has been really busy. People seem really glad that we're here. I think it was a smart move to open a store in this area and I know it will do well."
According to Mohrmann, the most popular items are the baskets and the various ethnic foods.
Mohrmann encourages the community to stop by and check out the new store. She says, "Once people come in, they find it hard to leave because it's such a fun place to wander around in with so much to look at. It's a colorful environment and our staff is very friendly."
The new Cost Plus World Market in Woodinville is located at 13990 NE Mill Place, across from the Woodinville Town Center and is open 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., Monday-Saturday and 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. For more information call (425) 424-3214.

This letter is addressed to the low lifes that broke into my daughters home. Your actions prove to me you are either on drugs and desparate to find ways to feed your self-destructive habit, or you are just too lazy to work and earn a living the normal way. Either way, I consider you to be the scum of the earth, not fit to walk among good God fearing people. The truth be know, do you think your mother and father would be proud of you and your actions? I doubt it. To steal what others have worked hard to acquire is despicable, especially from a young girl (my grand daughter), her new footwear (Toms) and her other items she cherished and worked hard to earn the money to purchase. What kind of sick individules do we have amongst us? Know this, who ever you may be, if found you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In this case it is too bad the frontier justice is a thing of the past, they knew how to deal with thieves. In all my years as a Marine, the one thing that was hated the most was a thief among us. They were considered lower than whale dung and that is at the bottom of the ocean.
If you have one once of decency left in your possibly drug ate out pea brain, you will return the items you so callously stole.

Sony Xperia Z2 vs HTC One (M8)
The 20.7MP camera that made its debut on the Sony Xperia Z1 is now gracing the Xperia Z2 as well. We're not complaining, of course, as we know what the snapper is capable of. The 1/2.3" size of the sensor makes it bigger than those found in most other popular smartphones, and with cameras, a bigger sensor is always a good thing. Pixel size, however, is average at 1.1 microns.
HTC has taken an unorthodox approach when designing the 4-megapixel UltraPixel camera found on the HTC One (M8). It is practically the same one that the last-gen One M7 had, but with an added secondary camera that captures depth information. The latter gives us the option to apply fancy effects to photos – to blur out the background or to convert images into 3D-like renditions. On a technical note, the One M8 camera relies on a 1/3" sensor with 2-micron pixels, and pixel size is touted as the camera's advantage over other cameraphones. These larger pixels should be able to capture more light, which is projected to result in good low-light performance. Resolution, however, is the UltraPixel camera's biggest drawback – it captures 4MP stills at a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Launching the Camera app on the Sony Xperia Z2 brings us to a clean and intuitive user interface, with large buttons for taking photos or video. The camera opens up in Intelligent Auto mode by default, which attempts to set the scene mode automatically, and it tends to be pretty accurate at that on the Z2. A manual mode has not been omitted, however. It lets the user control scene settings as they wish, to turn HDR on or off, and to take full-resolution, 20.7MP stills (Auto mode yields 8MP ones). Furthermore, Sony has added slow-motion video effects, background defocusing for professional-looking close-ups, 4K video support, and the option to download additional camera modes.
The camera UI on the HTC One (M8) isn't bad. We like that it is clean, with no knobs and toggles in the viewfinder's way, but switching between photo and video mode, or between the front and rear cameras, takes more taps than it does on the Z2. Nevertheless, kudos go to HTC for adding true manual controls to its camera software.
When it comes to actual image quality, the Sony Xperia Z2 is a class above the HTC One (M8). First of all, its images pack a lot more detail. Also, Z2's camera tends to be better at setting the right exposure, while the M8 might leave the photo under- or overexposed. Unless we use a tap to manually select the area that we want exposed, that is. On top of that, digital noise is more discernible in the M8's photos. Low-light indoor photos from the HTC One (M8) may turn out a bit lifeless, with dull colors. The Xperia Z2, on the other hand, produces livelier colors in a low-light indoor situation. Interestingly, very dark scenes in which the HTC One (M8)'s flash has fired look quite good, if not better than those from a Z2 with its flash on.

All in all, the HTC One (M8) UltraPixel camera is still a good one – it is fast and its photos are definitely usable – but it falls behind when compared to the camera on the Z2, or any other of today's flagships.
The Sony Xperia Z2 takes smooth, good-looking 1080p video at a steady 30 frames per second. Sound is clear and dynamic as well. The option to shoot 4K video with it is welcome, but it would be hard to truly appreciate it unless you have a 4K TV to enjoy the footage on.
The HTC One (M8) shoots daytime 1080p videos that are about as good as the Z2's. Framerate is set to 30fps by default, but there's also the option to crank the dial to 60fps for extra smoothness. Night videos, however, are not as fluid as those from the Xperia Z2 and exhibit a stronger motion blur.

There's a lot to love about the Walkman music player on the Sony Xperia Z2. First of all, it has a UI that is both beautiful and functional. We like its option to fill in any album art that happens to be missing in our collection. Modes and tweaks are present, to no surprise. You get an equalizer, which you're allowed to modify yourself, as well as ClearAudio+, which is an option that aims to enhance audio automatically, depending on what's being played. The Music application on the HTC One (M8) is also a pleasant-looking one, although we find its lack of an equalizer rather puzzling. It has a music visualizer, on the other hand, and like the Walkman, it can pull missing album art from the internet.
Watching videos on the Sony Xperia Z2 is a pleasure thanks to its large and vivid display. Moreover, the stock video player did not have any troubles playing back videos of any popular format. Either the gallery or the dedicated Movies app can be used to play videos with, both the ones you have recorded and the ones you have copied onto your handset. The latter has a clean and stylish UI, with a built-in option to edit videos shot with the Z2. There is no dedicated video player app on the HTC One (M8). (You can download a third-party one, of course). Instead, videos are listed in and viewed from the Gallery application. The video playback UI is clean and simple, but can also be used to trim videos in case that's required.
As we mentioned earlier, both phones sport front-facing speakers that produce high-quality stereo sound. The HTC One (M8), however, outpaces the Z2 in that respect. The former's speakers are louder and with much more depth, while the ones on the Xperia Z2 can't reach the same output level and have less presence in the lower register.
Another perk that makes the HTC One (M8) stand above the Z2 is its built-in IR blaster. With its help, HTC's phone turns into an intelligent remote control for your TV and set-top box. The pre-loaded TV application lets you switch channels, adjust the volume, and browse the TV menus, all the while acting as a TV guide (not available in all markets). The Xperia Z2 does not have an infra-red blaster, unlike many other flagship smartphones.

Z2 looks pretty cheap and not classy. The white trim ruins it.

have you ever seen one in personal? :) xperia z I agree it's not classy, but not looking so cheap also, but hell, ugly. It looks like a brick and u can bitch slap anybody using that phone, but z1 and z2, really looks premium, and eye catcher... i love z1 compact, because i have small hands, and i don't want to use 2 hands for a phone, for multi-tasking purposes. plastic yes, but it doesn't look cheap, it's beautifully crafted really well made, and very comfortable to grip and browse with your thumb only... :)

The Z2 is prettier to me.

HTC One all the way IMO
2. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Ultimately it comes down to aesthetics for me because both phones are truly beasts at what they do. I'd prefer thee HTC One simply because I'm a huge HTC One fanboy. The Sony Phone is utter perfection though. I just wish the back had like this shattered look to it so when you drop it and it actually shatters, you can't tell.
3. giani (Posts: 269; Member since: 13 Nov 2012)
So, as per yr conclusions general score is 4-1 in favor of m8. But the z2 has a higher rating in the individual review. Hah ?!
8. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
hah 8.8 is pretty high for ultragimmickpixel camera.
11. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
that's what you call cosolation or a balancing act. no ad-subsisting site or blogwould want to offend fans. there should be some redeeming factor somewhere.
15. giani (Posts: 269; Member since: 13 Nov 2012)
Straight edgeNexus, if you dont get my point, please don't TROLL.
I was only trying to make Nick T confess. It is very clear from the comparison that he prefers the M8.
16. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Sorry didnt get the point till the edit time passed out. :-)
4. FaisalWibowo11 (Posts: 163; Member since: 12 Aug 2013)
HTC one M8 is a near perfect phone, great design, great specs overall, but only let down by its camera. But had it has a 1/2.3" 8MP ultrapixel sensor, then it is perfect..
18. MichaelA (Posts: 18; Member since: 14 May 2014)
It's not all about MP's, but don't even think about printing a photo from the M8 to anything like a 4x6 or 5x8 because it's going to look terrible. I rarely ever do this, but when I do I want a alright pic, not crap. If I had to choose I would go with the Sony, but why not just wait for the LG G3 instead?
33. adwienc (Posts: 136; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
And software buttons.
5. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2275; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
M8 since it offers more internal memory, and up to 128GB ?
10. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
at least all flagships released this year can use sandisk's 128GB sd card. that's been tested and proved on some youtube video.
14. josephnero (Posts: 555; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
lesser battery?crappier camera?
28. BattleBrat (Posts: 1458; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
The Z2 accepts 128 gb cards too
6. cyborg009 (Posts: 112; Member since: 17 Sep 2011)
Sony has good UI but it should be smooth not laggy... they should focus on optimizing it. I'm using Sony phones from old SE times and though I'm entirely in love with Z2's display I'm thinking of either getting a lumia 930 or oneplus one as my next phone.
7. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Ergonomics- Htc One(curved back)
display-Tie i guess
UI-One Sense more beautiful and functional
Hardware-Z2 ram
Camera-LOL no comments
battery-dont know
conclusion- Z2 due to all rounder IMO
29. BattleBrat (Posts: 1458; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Id give the M8 the edge in multimedia, boomsound+ higher output headphone jack+ ir blaster.
31. FCB-Eto (Posts: 37; Member since: 17 Aug 2013)
Battery life the Z2 kills the M8 and S5 those two respectively do 71hrs and 72 but the Z2 manages 89hrs it's on Gsmarena, but get this that's without any power saving enabled.
9. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
no contest here
12. papss (unregistered)
I love both actually. I prefer the looks and design of the z2 (I like square phones with sharp corners) but like the UI of the m8...
13. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Yeah i love sense 6, 5 days on and i have no tempt to flash ROMs, unlike s5 touchwiz when i was dying to flash CM.
19. Odiin (Posts: 340; Member since: 23 Apr 2013)
any day Sony Xperia Z2
20. sanyamjain75 (Posts: 14; Member since: 04 Dec 2013)
I wish they both join hands and design a piece of perfection..
Strength and the weaknesses of others can be helped by both Sony And Htc as they both are not in a good condition..
25. Totse2k15 (Posts: 458; Member since: 11 Feb 2014)
Z2 overall win for me. I'd buy Z2 over M8.
26. GoBears (Posts: 449; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
I think it's pretty awesome that both these fantastic devices run Android and we have choices like this. I like the M8 myself. I wish the M8 had the Z2's camera but the M8 camera isn't near as bad as people make it out to be and I'm really loving the fact that it has s-off and bootloader unlocked. Running CleanROM with xposed gives me tons of options on an already awesome phone. Android FTW!
27. therons (Posts: 40; Member since: 25 Feb 2014)
Both is monster. if HTC put better camera and waterproof thing, i will go with HTC.
but overall Z2 is best choice.
anyway i love HTC M8....is a design masterpiece..
30. techperson211 (Posts: 1230; Member since: 27 Feb 2014)
Z2 anytime of the day. Waitin for z2compact and z3 before upgrading my z1 compact.
32. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
I can't believe the m8 won even though the z2 got a higher rating at pa's review
35. mojtaba_mn (Posts: 268; Member since: 22 Feb 2013)
only one m8 i think it,s best for me
37. bugsbunny00 (Posts: 2062; Member since: 07 Jun 2013)
4mp on m8,not even close to the Z2.ILL GO WITH Z2..
38. ogee4life (Posts: 105; Member since: 12 Apr 2014)
PA are completely confused, ui lag? First I ve not seen any site or reviewer complain bout lag even with cramped or heavy loaded home screens. The only thing I may accept the htc beats the Sony over is the quality of the speakers. But from tests I have seen on you tube and elsewhere it's marginal and remember the Sony is water proof will take that any day over a bit louder or clearer sound. The multimedia apps on Sony kills anything htc has to offer, htc multimedia apps very boring in design and visualisations nothing compared to the Sony that I know for sure for eg the walkman player the camera ui and movies ui plus effects available.
40. Phoneboy123 (Posts: 3; Member since: 12 May 2014)
Sony's interface is kinda bad :o ( no BlinkFeed etc , just a basic launcher )The additional it has over M8 is kinda useless since M8 doesn't lags at all while Z2 does sometimes. Moreover the movies UI plus effects is purely software addon , and sadly it lags on the Z2 too. Personally I'll prefer M8 haha.
43. FCB-Eto (Posts: 37; Member since: 17 Aug 2013)
In your dreams blinkfeed and Zoe are cool add ons but don't come and talk about lag on Z2 you're lying. Sony's interface is good and none of the soft key ui comes close expecially with the theme engine Sony introduced in jellybean 4.3, with a simple change of a theme softkeys on the navbar and icons on the status bar are changed not to mention the background in various menus across the system. When you bash Sony you should say in your opinion.
45. Branson28 (Posts: 33; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
I have the Z2 and have never experienced lag, even when under a lot of pressure. Hell the phone doesn't even heat up at all when working intensive processes like other phones do. I personally like how unobtrusive the UI on Sony is. Honestly when I had a Samsung Galaxy S4 I deleted all the extra crap that touchwiz adds. Some people prefer a more basic approach, and we don't use/need all that extra stuff :)
41. theo14461 (unregistered)
HTC M8, over the Z2.
42. steedsofwar (unregistered)
Better camera,
3GB ram,
better battery life,
better benchmarks
Better physical size (grip width),
better audio,
snappier UI,
greater internal storage,
micro sd,
The Sony slightly edges it and takes the trophy me thinks. I own an LG G2 so I am torn between the 2014 flagships.
44. newbey123 (Posts: 581; Member since: 19 Mar 2012)
M8 for the win.
46. The13thKing (banned) (Posts: 849; Member since: 26 Feb 2014)
If it weren't for the camera, I'd chose the M8 over the Z2 with my eyes closed.
47. mark_ray (banned) (Posts: 35; Member since: 26 May 2013)
In my openion the HTC One M8 is the best phone in 2014. The only contendor now is LG G3 which will be released in couple of days, to let's wait and see
48. The13thKing (banned) (Posts: 849; Member since: 26 Feb 2014)
nope, it isn't ... the terrible camera .. the huge bezels with no ip67 certification to make up for it .. these are bad things for a flagship in 2014.. but it's okay though
49. theo14461 (unregistered)
Has anybody wondered why Phonearena picked these two models, for a comparison? Okay, so the Sony has a kick-ass camera, I'd still rather have the M8.
50. Altair (Posts: 367; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
There is one major difference between these two devices here. One is a copycat and another is a true original design, that others follow.

56. skywalker (Posts: 11; Member since: 05 Jul 2014)
Tested both countless times...HTC is just a much more solid phone so far. Reviews lean on HTC's software is more smooth and responsive than Sony is. When you actually compare them both directly, you'll instantly know what that means. just seems to me that Sony just doesn't know how to make best use of Android and... even the top-notch hardware it tends to include(ie. the 20.7MP camera) its apparent that Sony relies almost solely on hardware to compete with HTC and other flagship devices, yet Sony doesn't make enough use of it (and its so expensive because of this).
Even the camera... ppl keep saying how Sony beats HTC in this dept hands down. How so? Just by larger MP? Lets not mention that Sony only actually offer 8MP for the most extensively used smart scene mode(or whatever it's called,I used Chinese version so...), HTC BEATS Sony hands down when it comes to capture speed, camera loading speed, and camera stability..... (and trust me, these are just what most people need on a day to day basis, imagine trying to capture a fast moving penguin in the aquarium....), these are much more important than a few more MP.... okay, lets talk zooming in... when you zoom in with HTC, it gets blurry faster, but it blurs beautifully, cleanly. In contrast, when you zoom in with Sony, its all grains and noise along with blurs. when you take pictures with Sony anywhere other than day time scenery(including low light, it captures at a much slower speed than already is, and less quality and MP, much more noisy... doesn't even feel like 8MP anymore.
Now lets talk typing on touch keyboard... HTC, with its own keyboard, just feels much more smarter and responsive and more accurate than sony is, Chinese AND English, actually, Sony's Experia keyboard is just...totally unusable for me, I had to go get Google keyboard to sub for it, HTC's own keyboard beats Google's keyboard by far as well in my opinion.
Overall, HTC phone is just... better.... its true it lacks MP in the camera dept... this is probably its only flaw if you like, but it still beats Sony's in many practical ways. Also, seems to me that HTC knows this themselves, so they are just downing their camera just so that they won't have to give it their all to beat other flagahips; they beat others in every other way. this way HTC still leaves space for improvent and at the same time still beat Sony...
57. skywalker (Posts: 11; Member since: 05 Jul 2014)
And lets not forget how much better HTC sounds both in and outside calls...and how much better it looks for more people, and lack of problems.
Sony with its camera overheat problems and the build problems(top right side)....... actually, heating problem isn't limited to camera usage for Sony; it heats up so easily doing anything, and also camera lags or force closes from time to time.
for the water proof gimmick from Sony, they state that the water cannot be hot, cold, or impure in any way(swimming pool water and ocean water are unacceptable.) okay, in what way is water proof feature useful? what's the use of putting the phone in a glass of room temp drinkInc water?
also, placement of ports is better for HTC as well, having both 3.5km headphone Jack and micro USB 9n the same short side. I hate that Sony has micro usb port on the top left side, good thing they also have a magnetic charging feature...
For Sony's exclusive dedicated camera shutter button feature, it's hard to use, I find myself leaning towards using the on screen shutter button. what's a really good camera shutter button? check out the old HTC evolution 3d...
also, for the record, I typed thsee long comments with a Sony, it's a pain in the rear end if you ask me... have to keep correcting. HTC was just better by experience.
what else...?
58. skywalker (Posts: 11; Member since: 05 Jul 2014)
forgot to mention... if the water proof feature is useful in any way, it is to resist unavoidable splashes from say rain-water, but HTC does this just as well. And I didn't mention before that Sony does not guarantee water-proof with dust at cover-edges.... this is like... impossible... basically this says that if Sony is ever damaged by water, it's gonna 100% be OUR OWN fault..... DON'T dip Sony Z2 in water; treat it like HTC to be safe...
I meant to type 3.5mm in my previous post, not km.... excuse me for this (Sony typing....)
Sony's Stamina mode is really useful, but ONLY limited to off-screen. When you use it, the battery would drain, but I have not compared the usage time between those... from various reviews, however, they seem similar. But think, HTC's 2600mAh vs Sony's 3200mAh... In my experience, I have to charge both of them on average maybe every 1.5 days.
I know I forgot to mention SOMETHING more about Sony's disadvantage... I just can't remember on the top of my head now... but I hope these are helpful for people who are having a hard time choosing between the two devices... all these said, Sony Z2 is still a way-above-average phone, and one of the best-looking phone for sure.
Waiting for HTC's next year flagship!!

LOCK HAVEN - The President's Commission on LGBT Affairs at Lock Haven University will present a program by TC Tolbert, a genderqueer, feminist poet and teacher committed to social justice, at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 25 in Room 118, Health Professions Building.
The program, "LGBTQ 101: From Homoflexible to Transfabulous," is designed for all students and members of the public to assist them in understanding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer identities and oppression. It is especially designed for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of these issues on campus, in the workplace and schools.
It is free and open to the public.
TC is co-editor of the forthcoming "Anthology of Trans and Genderqueer Poetry," the first anthology of its kind. The book will feature the work of more than 35 trans and genderqueer poets, as well as a poetic statement by each author describing the relationship between the author's experience of the body and their experience of writing poetry.
TC was awarded the Arizona Commission on the Arts Individual Artist Award in 2012 and a residency at Byrdcliffe. TC has two chapbooks, "spirare" and "territories of folding."
TC's work won the Arizona Statewide Poetry Competition in 2010. TC's first full length collection, "Gephyromania," was a finalist for the Sawtooth Poetry Prize in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and is forthcoming from Ahsahta Press.
