Grandma Makes Me Laugh
Since the last few Yankee games have been abysmal, I don't want to talk about them. They are making me angry. I need a few laughs. So today, I'm going to talk about someone who never fails to make me laugh. She is a die-hard Yankees fan just like me. She's my Grandma.
My Grandma is 86 years old. And she's kind of Italian. And she's lived in the Bronx her whole life. She does a lot to make us laugh, but the main thing she does is butcher words. Like when she says "toast," she actually says "toes." Or "dollar" is "dolla." She never puts the "r" on her words. And sometimes, when she hears people actually put the "r" on the words, she says things like, "Oooh they talk with the 'r'."
Throughout the many years I have known my Grandma, and the many Yankee games we've watched together, I've noticed something: She butchers everybody's name. And what's really funny is that she actually says these things!
Here is a chunk of the Yankee roster – the way Grandma pronounces it:
– Mariani Rivera
Mariani, Grandma? Really? Must you make EVERYBODY Italian? How about Mariano? Or if that's too complicated, why not just call him Mo?
– CC Sebastian
Look at CC…he's obviously disgusted this "name." Sebastian…where is that from? Okay. Grandma's niece's son is named Sebastian. But really, there is no excuse for that.
– Robinson Canoe
I guess this one was easy to mess up. But really? CANO.
– Kerry Woods
Again, this one is probably easy to mess up. But somtimes, I think she tries to mess them up. Kerry WOOD…is it really that hard?
– Derek Jeetah
Grandma never pronounces the "r" on the end of Jeter's name. It's just "Jeetah." It rhymes with "cheetah."
– Austin Sterns
I think Grandma only said this one once, but that's because I corrected her right away. Kearns…Austin KEARNS.
– Curtain Granderson
Okay, this one isn't really fair. Grandma just got tongue-twisted when she called him "Curtain." But she still said it. Me, my little brother, and my Grandma were all watching the game one night. Me and my brother left the room for a minute, and Grandma shouted "HOME RUN!!" We asked, "Who, Grandma who!"
"Curt..uhhh…Cu…Curtain…oh, ah fanabla."
She didn't need to explain any more. We got it. Through our frenzy of laughter, we explained, "CURTIS!!!! CURTIS GRANDERSON!!! Aahahhahaaa….you just called him CURTAIN!!!!"
– Nick Swiffah
This one is everyone in my family's favorite. She messed up the mess up. "Swiffah?" How about "Swiffer?" Or better yet, NICK SWISHER!!!!
This one has a little story. It happened one night during the offseason of 2008. It was dinnertime, and everyone was coming into the kitchen. We left the YES Network on as always. News of the Betemit/Swisher trade was just released.
Grandma just found out about this trade. She didn't know who the guy was that the Yankees just got. So she shouted, "ROBBIT, ("Robbit" is my older brother, Robert. We all call him Bobby. She calls him "Robbit," as opposed to "Robert" or Bobby.") ROBBIT…"
"Yes Grandma?" Bobby asked.
Bobby was silent, confused like the rest of us.
"Who?" He asked.
"WHO'S NICK SWIFFAH?" Grandma tried again.
This time, Bobby went to the TV to see for himself. The headline "Yanks Trade for Nick Swisher."
"GRANDMAAA!!!! It's NICK SWISHER!!!!"
She didn't have time to respond. We all started laughing at her. But she was a good sport about it, as always. "Oooh!" she said. Then she joined in with laughs. To this day, we still remind her of this one. And she never got it wrong the right way again. Now she calls him "Swizza." Then I say, "No, Grandma…Nick SWISHER."
I don't think she'll ever get it right.

HAHA, my mother calls Cano Canoe too! And she always calls Jorge Jorgay, which cracks me up.
Grandma is awesome. Maybe she should be a Yanks broadcaster? Love Jeetah! lol

*Waits for Sensei* ._.
*walks towards you*
Hello, I'm Kiritsugu's senpai and have been entrusted with your training ^^
So, if you have any previous training in this element I ask that you link it to me here please?
If this is you first time training in Lightning, tell me why you would like to learn it and how you think you could use it battle?
Oh hello there :3 , nice to meet ya. And I'll be doing Lightning all over again ^^
I wanna learn lightning because it allows the user to generate lightning by increasing the high frequency vibrations of their chakra, allowing for piercing damage and fast movement which are very helpful. The electricity paralyses the target so that they are unable to move and leave them vulnerable to a finishing strike. Lighting is very useful in battle, having lightning as an element, lightning can be infused into bladed weapons in a way similar to Wind Release through chakra flow for increased the piercing power through vibrations.
What do you mean again o_O'
That is a great answer. ^^
Now, could you tell me a little about the strengths and weaknesses of lightning?
I like to learn . not really >_> , had some difficulties
Thank you :3
Lightning is strong against earth due to it's piercing power, and weak against wind because wind is an insulator to lightning, Lightning can be used as a defense mechanism like using techniques such as Chidori Nagashi for defense and getting the user out of Genjutsu, I believe.
Good, in the case of Nagashi it will only get you out of certain genjutsu up to B-rank. More on it when a sensei teaches you genjutsu
Also note that lightning can be combined with a fire jutsu of the same rank, as lightning cannot be burnt by the fire it will travel through the flames without losing power to create a difficult to counter combination. Lightning can also be mixed with water to increase its power and in some cases, increase the speed at which the lightning travels.
Now, as for the properties of water... *performs a few hand seals, causing rain to begin falling*
I want you to hold out your hands and gather a puddle of water in them, then we shall explore the properties of lightning.
Alright Got it :3
*Listening to Senpai's Orders I hold my hands out in a way that allows them to hold up a small puddle of water in them.*
Good, *Puts one finger into the puddle of releases a small bolt of lightning into the puddle*
Feel that? Describe what you felt. Also describe how the lightning interacted with the water.
Last edited by Shinta; 11-20-2012 at 07:03 AM.
*due to me not expecting that directly, and due to the lightning stinging me, I push my hands away dropping all the water, I also feel very little numbness at the points of my fingers.*
Woah that surprised me ._.
That was kinda the point
Did you feel how the lightning radiated out in the water and did you feel the vibrations that give lightning its power? (That would be the part that numbed you )
I did , I did feel that o-o
Good, give a brief summary of what it felt like to you, describe what you felt happen with the lightning in respects to its nature. Whenever you perform a Lightning jutsu you must try and replicate this using you own chakra.
We'll move on after that.
I really don't know what to describe other than what I did, sorry Senpai >_<
You should have felt the lightning's vibrations and its tendency to spread out through water, which can of course be controlled with your chakra. I need you to replicate the vibrations of the lightning with your chakra, and also the raw destructive power... something we shall see more of as we continue.
Begin by channelling your chakra into your hands, manipulating it so that is mimics the properties of lightning described earlier. Now use this 'lightning' chakra to send small bolts of lightning out towards my clone, standing a few feet away.
What do you notice about the sound of the jutsu?
I see, sorry again >.<
*I start by focusing on channeling my chakra to my hands, then I begin manipulating it so that it takes the properties of lightning such as continuous vibrating, once I feel the lightning is ready I shoot small bolts of lightning from my right hand towards your clone.*
Well as a lightning it should sound like a loud crack, or even so simply a crack, right ?
No need to apologise, I just like to make sure my students understand the element ^^
You are correct, lightning does have a defining crack or crackly sound as bolts are released or if a wave is released.
(Raiton no Jutsu) - Lightning Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra to create small bolts of lightning to attack their target
Now I want you to once again gather your lightning chakra into your hands, and then slam them onto the ground, releasing a surge of electricity that would travel along the ground to shock my clone.
Why would you use this in battle?
Nice :3 and thanks.
*After listening to your orders, I start by focusing my lightning chakra then channel it to my right hand, I utilize a sufficient amount of it then I quickly slam my hand on the ground which results into releasing a surge of electricity that travels along the ground shocking your clone and making it Poof.*
O__O' Name change?
(Raiton: Raikou Oonami) - Lightning Release: Lightning Surge
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra and slam their hand on the ground to release a surge of lightning across the ground to the opponents feet to shock them.
This one I want you to surge you lightning chakra all through your body and then release it as a spherical shield of lightning that should stop my clone as he tries to jump on you.
When might you use this in battle?
Yeash :3 , me like this one.
*I start by gathering a good amount of chakra and utilize it throughout my body then I surge the lightning chakra through my body and release it all at once resulting in a shield of lightning that is able to stop your clone as he tries to attack me.*
This is a good way to deflect projectiles and defend from shirt ranged attacks, too bad it's a D-Rank though :p
For a minute their I though I had you confused with another thread
Doesn't matter if it is D-rank, I wouldn't want to be near that when you use it
(Raiton: Raijingu Sanda) - Lightning Style: Raging Thunder
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user hits the opponent with an electric field shield that covers the users body.
Now, put up the shield again and this time charge it with enough raiton chakra so that it will explode and push my clone backwards as he tries to tackle you. The explosion should shock him as well as push him back.
How would this fair against a taijutsu user? (Not rank just if they were free forming)

I just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy at 36W. I was induced due to Preeclampsia. Since then the doctor was worried about low blood sugar and weight. Several attempts to breastfeed but my little guy was too frustrated due to hunger and me not having anything to give. I then supplemented with formula by cup so as to not be confused with nipples. He slowly gained weight but I was more frustrated by the fact that I could not feed my son. He got confused with the cup feeding and then did not want to suckle at the breast. We then had to tube feed him while at the breast to get him use to where food comes from. Still no milk from me, Dr gave me Domperidone to jump start my milk production. My breast then got HUGE! And hard lumpy rocks and where so painful I couldnt even try and breastfeed my son. But when ever I pumped I still would hardly get anything out from each.
I discontinued medication my breast have now gone down but are still some what painful. I have been using a nipple shield to help since he dosnt latch on very well to begin with and he dosnt seem to relive the pressure, I think that I am not letting down. He will nurse for 20-30min on each some times and he dosnt seem to be satisfied and I end up having to give him an OZ or two of formula after.
I end up being upset that I cannot feed my son and feel like I have failed. I have these swollen breast but hardly anything comes out and my son isnt filling up on them and I hardly pump anything out.
Any help would be appreciated....

Recipes for a Haunting Halloween
Who says Halloween is just for kids? The young at heart will have a ghoulishly good time when presented with this spooky yet scrumptious spread of grown-up goodies.
As guests arrive at your haunt, offer steaming mugs of Hot Apple Cider to chase away autumn chills.
Loaded with beef and vegetables, Pumpkin Stew will thrill every hungry ghoul and goblin attending your bewitching bash.
Put a spin on the traditional and pass a basket of breadsticks shaped like Witches' Broomsticks. Then toss some salad greens with Favorite French Dressing.
Getting into the Halloween spirit will be a snap when you serve Spiderweb Pumpkin Cheesecake. (All recipes are shown here.)
Snack Mix Serving Suggestion
Instead of simply setting out bowls of Sweet 'n' Spicy Halloween Munch, place individual servings in edible containers like waffle cones and set them in a bowl filled with candy corn. This way guests will be able to munch as they mingle.
Or, instead of waffle cones, make paper cones. Take heavy-duty paper (such as origami paper) and roll it to make a cone shape. Secure with tape and fill with snack mix.
Spinning a Spiderweb Garnish
This spiced cheesecake makes an appearance on my Halloween table every year. Folks get a kick out of the candy web and chocolate spiders. When preparing the Spiderweb Pumpkin Cheesecake (or another favorite Halloween dessert), add these fun and tasty garnishes.
- Carefully drizzle syrup over outlines in the pattern of a web. Cool completely.
- Pipe 1-inch spiders onto parchment paper or foil; cool. Attach spiders to webs with remaining melted chocolate.

Living the dream—that's an expression that always creeps into ski bum lore…but what does it mean? It means skiing pow, all the time. And working? No thanks. Except this combo actually requires more ingenuity than moving millions on Wall Street everyday. If you want to LTD, all you need to do is keep your eyes on the prize, wing it on blind faith, and get used to eating free bar peanuts.
While living the dream, your income is going to be, ah, limited, but the simplest way to watch it become a useful sum? Don't waste your money at the bar. This entails learning how to socialize/dance sober or only wasting other people's money. Those who don't have their eyes on the prize love buying drinks.

Chapter 1
Author and narrator Gary Paulsen spent most of his life "in the forest or on the sea," frequently hunting. While running a dog team one December morning, he finally began to examine the rightness of this aspect of his life.
Paulsen followed his trapline, acutely aware of the surrounding pristine beauty. Suddenly, a white-tailed doe exploded from the woods, chased by a wolf pack. She raced onto a lake's thin ice and fell through. Although she recovered, the wolves were on her, and Paulsen, watching helplessly, was witness to her horrific death.
While two wolves held her nose, others ripped her rear until they could pull out her entrails. She was still alive and standing as they hungrily devoured her. Paulsen, sickened, yelled, but the wolves only paused. One rose to see him, and Paulsen observed its blood-covered head.
Paulsen realized the wolves "[were] not wrong or right—they just [were]." "It was wrong to think they should be the way [he] wanted them to be." With that small understanding, he was seized by an insatiable desire to learn more—about the animals and the woods.
Chapter 2
Paulsen became involved with sled dogs relatively late. At forty, he lived with his wife and son in Minnesota in a cabin with no plumbing or electricity, trying to supplement his meager income as a writer. He took a job trapping for the state; some friends gave him four older dogs and a broken sled. Through trial and error, Paulsen got the dogs to run. Obeah, a large, wolf-like creature, became a passable leader.
Paulsen ran his line regularly, catching a few beaver. He felt confident but really knew nothing about trapping or dogs. One bitterly cold night, twenty miles from home, he foolishly decided to let the dogs run rather than camp, thereby learning a valuable lesson from one dog, Storm.
Storm pulled "from somewhere within himself," exceptional in strength and devotion. The going was tough because of the terrain and extreme weather. Suddenly, Storm began to spray blood from his rear end.
Paulsen unhitched Storm and tied him in the sled's basket. Determined to pull, Storm went "absolutely insane," ripping the sled until he got to the side, pulling awkwardly.
Storm pulled for seven more hours, spraying blood continuously, while Paulsen waited in dread for his beloved dog to die. Amazingly, when finally home, Storm stood tall, tail wagging. The mysterious bleeding stopped, and Paulsen knew he had learned a little about the insatiable drive behind animal behavior.
Chapter 3
From a very young age, Paulsen hunted and trapped. After a "simple . . . almost silly" incident, he believed they were wrong. One dog, Columbia, pulled a prank demonstrating humor. In the kennel, the dogs were restrained by chains. One day, Columbia maneuvered a bone just out of reach of Olaf, his dim-witted neighbor. As Olaf struggled, Columbia watched and finally "leaned back and laughed."
The trick's sophistication astounded Paulsen; he reasoned other animals also must be capable of high-level planning. Concluding it was wrong to kill such intelligent, complex creatures, he stopped trapping.
Until he began training his dogs for the Iditarod, a grueling dogsled race across Alaska, Paulsen ran trap lines without trapping to take his dogs out. On one "phony" run, his sled shot off a gully edge. Paulsen sustained a serious knee injury and was stuck forty feet below the trail.
Ordinarily, when a musher is lost, a team continues on. Paulsen's dogs, however, found their way to him; with their support, he made it home. This reinforced his belief that his dogs had much to teach him. In their compassion, they possessed "great, old knowledge; they had something [humans] had lost."
Chapter 4
Paulsen notes that the main element setting people apart from animals is fire. An early insight from this came on a run to train young dogs for the Iditarod. The first night, Paulsen started a small fire; the dogs instinctively "went crazy with fear."
Paulsen calmed them; fear quickly became fascination. When the fire went out, they wailed a song of loss. Within an hour, his pups went from fear to understanding to loss. He reflected that humans take much longer to go through the same process, marveling at the dogs' advanced sophistication.
In another incident, Paulsen was stopped for the night when a large doe appeared. Chased by wolves, in a "mad gamble" for her life, she sought protection from two usually fearsome adversaries, man and fire. Tense, the doe stayed until the wolves left, then disappeared.
A third experience involved a bear, Scarhead. One summer morning as Paulsen burned trash near the kennels, Scarhead made a mess trying to get "whatever smelled so good." When Paulsen chased him, Scarhead towered over him threateningly. Paulsen froze, but the bear walked away. Angry, Paulsen ran for his gun to kill Scarhead. Then he thought, "Kill him for what?" "When it is all boiled down [he was] nothing more and nothing less than any other animal in the woods."
Chapter 5
One late spring day, Paulsen was running his team on a country road near his home when he came upon a dead ruffled grouse. The bird had left a nest with fourteen eggs in it and, out of sympathy, Paulsen carried them home and placed them in the care of a banty hen called Hawk. When the eggs hatched, Hawk adopted the chicks and raised them as her own. All went well until the baby grouse were old enough to fly. Banty hens cannot fly, and Hawk, furious at losing control of her brood, took out her anger on anyone unfortunate enough to venture into the yard.
Among the targets of Hawk's ire were Paulsen's wife, who had to cross the yard to hang laundry; the family's small terrier, Quincy; and Paulsen's six-foot-two-inch son, who entered the forbidden territory to fetch the mail. Fred, the resident Labrador retriever, and a hapless fox who had come to pilfer one of the chicks from the yard, were also victims of the feisty hen. Hawk finally mellowed when the baby grouse grew up and returned to the wild, but it was a long time before anyone—human and animal alike—could venture across the yard without looking over their shoulder when she was present.
Chapter 6
Paulsen recalls a number of mysteries—"unexplainable, out-of-place" events—that he experienced during his sojourns in the woods. In one incident, he was feeding a cookie to a small chipmunk when a red squirrel, normally a passive, non-carnivorous creature, appeared out of nowhere and tore the chipmunk to pieces. Paulsen was at a complete loss as to how to explain the random, violent encounter.
In another incident, Paulsen was running his dogs in the dark when the team was spooked by an eerie, green-yellow glow emanating from a spot down the trail. Initially not alarmed, the outdoorsman became frightened when the dogs began to keen a death song. Drawn by a curiosity which was stronger than his sense of...
(The entire section is 748 words.)
Chapter 7
Over the years, Paulsen has owned many dogs, and each one has taught him much. He discovered something about temper in animals through Fred, a dog who became "enormously fat." In an attempt to help the canine lose weight, the author started him on an extreme diet and exercise program. When the requirements became too severe, Fred, a normally placid dog, pointedly bit his perceived tormentor once, with clear purpose. Paulsen got the message loud and clear, adjusted the regimen, and Fred regained his sunny disposition.
Paulsen learned the rudiments of sled-dog running primarily through trial and error, and consequently made many foolish blunders along the way. On one occasion, he stubbornly ignored his team leader Cookie's obvious desire to go in a certain direction, forcing her instead to proceed along his own chosen path. This ultimately resulted in an unavoidable tumble into a steep gully. Cookie, obviously frustrated with Paulsen's refusal to let her follow her instincts, allowed the fall to happen, and afterwards, the dogs went on strike as a unit, refusing to pull. Ignoring their callow master, they lay down to sleep for eighteen hours, rising to continue on with glee only after they felt that he had learned his lesson.
The dog that taught Paulsen the most was a mighty creature named Storm. Storm was one of the outdoorsman's first dogs. Paulsen estimates that they logged more than twelve thousand miles together and the two came to know each other perhaps better than family. Storm was exceptionally clever, and relished pulling pranks on fellow canines and humans alike.
Storm had a habit of carrying short sticks in his mouth while running; he would choose a new one each day and present it to Paulsen periodically, for approval. Paulsen soon realized that the dog was using the stick as a means of communication, to tell him that "everything was all right." When Storm grew old, he...

"The Race—Day 1"
The Iditarod begins in Anchorage. The first time Paulsen participates in this incredibly arduous undertaking, he pulls the thirty-second spot, right in the middle of the seventy-team race. Paulsen's team of fifteen dogs are insane with anticipation as they wait for thirty-one teams to be sent out before them. Finally, they are on their way, only to have to repeat the process again a short time later: the start from Anchorage is a sham, staged for publicity. In reality, a freeway blocks the route to Nome; thirty miles out of town, the dogs are stopped and taken in trucks to Settler's Bay, where the race truly begins.
By the time Paulsen's team leaves the second starting...
(The entire section is 776 words.)
"The Race—Day 8"
The race progresses to the barren interior of Alaska. The tundra is endless and unchanging and Paulsen's lead dog, Wilson, literally begins to fall asleep on his feet, mid-run. The musher discovers that if he softly calls out "Willy" when he sees the dog weaving a bit, he can keep him on track. When a fellow racer later comments that twice during the night, he had been passed by a person who was looking for someone named Willy, Paulsen, realizing the ludicrousness of his situation, does not even try to explain.
"The Race—Day 9"
In the "ghost town of Iditarod," Paulsen is accosted by a man who disembarks from a plane. There is a muzzled,...

Three of the five people Gov. Scott Walker appointed to a commission investigating Supreme Court Justice David Prosser were recommended by a former Assembly speaker who once worked for Prosser.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that former Speaker John Gard told a Walker aide in an email that he found people for the Judicial Commission who were "fiercely conservative" and "will never wimp out."
Prosser is accused by the Judicial Commission of violating judicial ethics when he allegedly wrapped his hands around the neck of Justice Ann Walsh Bradley last year.
Gard was an aide to Prosser in the 1980s, when Prosser was in the Assembly. Gard told the newspaper he did not discuss Prosser's case with those he recommended and did not talk to Prosser about the appointments.

PB's Cafe Boulud Has New Canadian Sibling
- 7:16 pm Wednesday, June 13th, 2012 by M.M. Cloutier
The newest restaurant by internationally known chef/restaurateur Daniel Boulud—the mastermind behind Palm Beach's Cafe Boulud, several New York restaurants and others as far afield as Beijing and Singapore—has opened at Canada's Ritz-Carlton Montreal, which recently debuted a $100-plus-million renovation.
It has been a very Canadian season for 57-year-old Boulud—a longtime Montreal visitor who counts a few Montreal chefs among his good friends—as the New Yorker and Lyon, France native is opening another restaurant at the new Four Seasons in Toronto in late September.

Ross, a defensive end, and Thomas, a wide receiver-defensive back, took part in Football University's Top Gun Camp at the Dublin Jerome High School in Dublin, Ohio.
The two players were invited to the camp after their performances at the FBU Dallas and Houston camps. They joined 800 of the nation's other top athletes at their respective positions and trained with current and former NFL players and coaches.
The Top Gun Camp is the culmination of Football University's 30-camp nationwide tour, gathering the top performers from across the country and allowing them to compete and display their abilities together on one stage.
Headlining the Top Gun Showcase were quarterbacks coach Jeff Rutledge, former quarterback coach of the Arizona Cardinals; wide receiver coach Billy "White Shoes" Johnson; offensive line coach Jim McNally; defensive back coach Ray Buchanan; and wide receiver coach Charlie Collins.

Read receipts
About read receipts
A read receipt is an email notification delivered when a recipient opens (and presumably reads) an email you send. The receipt confirms that the recipient saw your message and records the time. When you view a message for which you've requested a receipt, the current status appears just below the body of the message when you view Gmail on the web.
Your G Suite system administrator specifies whether you can request read receipts, and whether Gmail sends the receipt automatically when a recipient opens the message or asks recipients to approve sending the receipt.
Read receipts are not delivered in the following cases:
- The message is opened using a POP client or a G Suite Sync client.
- The message is opened using an IMAP client, but your administrator has not configured the feature to send receipts automatically.
- The message is sent to a user through a group mailing list or alias. The message needs to be addressed directly to a user's email address in order to receive a read receipt from that user.
Request a read receipt
If you request a read receipt, requests will be sent to every recipient in the To: and Cc: fields. It does not send a request to recipients in the Bcc: field.
- Compose a message as usual while using the desktop version of Gmail at mail.google.com.
- Click the More options icon in the compose window.
- Click Request read receipt.
- Send your message.
Return a read receipt
When you receive a message for which a user has requested a read receipt, Gmail may automatically send the receipt or may ask you to approve sending the receipt.
You will be asked to approve sending the receipt only if your administrator has configured the feature to ask, and only when you open the message using the desktop version of Gmail.
To approve a read receipt, follow these directions:
- Open and read the message as usual while using the desktop version of Gmail at mail.google.com.
- When you close the message or navigate away from it, you will be prompted to send a read receipt.
- Click Send receipts or Not now.
- If you click Not now, you will be prompted again the next time you open this conversation.
Read receipts and other email systems
Read receipts work across most email systems, so that you can get notifications from recipients using other email software that supports read receipts. However, the behavior of the receipts may differ depending on the recipient's email software and how they access the message. For example, IMAP-based email clients may return a receipt when the message is marked as read even if the recipient does not open the message.
Do not rely on read receipts for certifying mail delivery. Although read receipts generally work across email systems, you may sometimes get a receipt for an unread message or not get a receipt even though the recipient has read the message.

"You, you, fascist!"
There are very few words in our political vocabularies that are more emotionally loaded, while at the same time more saddled with multiple, not-quite-identical meanings. When a Google search on "Bush fascist" yields 5.2 million hits, and a search on "Obama fascist" yields 5.9 million, you have to wonder just what this word is supposed to mean, anyway.
We could start by looking at the symbol from which the word derives. Take an axe, surround it with a bundle of rods and lash the whole thing together as tightly as you can, and there you have what the ancient Romans called the "fasces." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces)
It was this symbol of unified power that Benito Mussolini and his Fascist movement latched onto in the early years of the 20th century. (It's found in many other places, of course, including the iconography of the United States of America.)
To Mussolini and his followers, fascism represented a unification of the power of the state and the power of the market. He is quoted as saying, "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." (It may be worth noting at this point that such a merger can happen in two ways—either by the state expropriating and nationalizing the means of production, or by the market influencing and ultimately corrupting the state.)
In the intervening years, the meaning has broadened. Perhaps the best way to think of fascism is as the enforced unification of all aspects and institutions of a society, not just the market and the state, but also the workforce, the church, the media, the arts, the schools, the family—everything. (It should be obvious, by the way, that this unification might be done in the name of almost any ideology, across the political spectrum, or in the name of almost any religion, or atheism for that matter.)
This notion can become very attractive to everyday people under a variety of unsettling circumstances—in times of external or internal threats, economic uncertainty, social upheaval, or cultural transformation. (Do you begin to see why I've been thinking about this a lot lately?)
It can also become very attractive to the folks at the top of a society, when they begin to suspect that the peasantry is getting restless.
In the fascist state, there are no such things as "competing interests"—unlike the messy chaos of democracy, where there are so many competing interests that no one of them can claim dominance. No dissent is tolerated, no discussion is necessary—except perhaps on questions of methodology and efficiency.
Of course, people being people, such a unified state is deeply unnatural—so it must be imposed. Here is where many of the negative qualities we associate with fascist societies emerge. To unify the populace, fascist governments frequently identify scapegoat minorities, on whom are placed the blame for all the ills of society.
Militarism, the virtues of force, and strict discipline are emphasized. Repression becomes rampant, imagination is squelched, and justice becomes arbitrary and capricious.
Fear and intimidation, torture and disappearances become societally accepted methods of control. These qualities make fascist societies seem strong, almost invincible in their early days, but actually contain the seeds of their inevitable downfall.
But could it happen here? In recent decades, some commentators and columnists have looked around America and identified numerous signs that they interpreted as symptoms of incipient fascism. (Search "Britt fascism," or "Naomi Wolf, fascist America" to find a couple of those analyses.)
Their fears were neither fully realized, nor entirely dispelled.
Fortunately, there's another way to think about fascism, how to respond to it, and how to make sure that it can't happen here.
But more about that next month…

Balancing Your Diet
A healthy diet is more than calories in versus calories out. You need balance and variety in order to meet all your nutritional needs.
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are an important part of any healthy diet. They are a major source of vitamins and minerals, contribute to daily fiber intake and supply valuable antioxidants and phytonutrients that researchers suggest can help prevent disease. Eating various colored fruits and vegetables will ensure that you are getting a variety of nutrients each day. They are also low in calories, which means a lot of nutritional bang for your caloric buck.
Generally speaking, healthy adults should limit fat to about 30% of their calories each day. This means at 1,400 or 1,500 calories a day, you should be eating no more than about 50 grams of fat per day. Stick with healthier monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats like fats found in olive and canola oils, nuts and seeds.
Saturated fat
Saturated fat is found mainly in high- fat meats and dairy foods as well as coconut oil, palm kernel oil and some processed foods. Limit saturated fat to 10% of calories or less, which means about 17 grams when following 1,400 or 1,500 calories a day.
Trans Fat
Much like saturated fat, there is a proven relationship between diets high in trans fat and high LDL ("bad") cholesterol, which increases the risk of coronary artery disease. Trans fat can be found in vegetable shortening, stick margarine, fried foods, salad dressings, processed foods and store-bought baked goods. Limit trans fat as much as possible and try to stay below 1.5-2 grams per day.
Eating foods high in cholesterol can increase blood cholesterol for some people, which is why it's recommended to limit daily intake to 300 mg even though saturated and trans fats have a more significant effect on blood cholesterol. Cholesterol is found only in foods from animals, such as eggs, meat and dairy products.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease, and salt can be a contributor to high blood pressure. High-sodium diets do not cause high blood pressure in everyone, but it is still wise to limit sodium to 2,300 mg per day. One teaspoon of salt contains about 2,300 mg of sodium, but keep in mind that most of the salt we consume comes from processed foods, not the salt shaker. Foods high in sodium include lunch meat, condiments like soy sauce and ketchup, frozen dinners, canned foods, boxed mixes, seasoning packets and foods labeled as "smoked," "cured," "pickled" or "brined."
Healthy adults should be eating at least 20-30 grams of fiber each day, although most Americans eat far less than that. Fiber can be categorized as soluble or insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber can help lower cholesterol while insoluble fiber helps maintain a healthy digestive tract. In addition, fiber helps you feel full, which can help prevent overeating. Foods high in soluble fiber include oatmeal, beans and barley, while foods with insoluble fiber include whole wheat and rice.
Tips to help boost fiber:
- Leave the skins on fruits and vegetables.
- Add extra veggies into soups and side dishes.
- Sprinkle oat bran or wheat germ over yogurt or stir into casseroles.
- Choose whole grain breads and crackers. Whole wheat or whole grain flour should be listed as the first ingredient on the food label.
- Toss kidney beans or garbanzo beans into salads.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
March 28, 2012
By Chris Lechuga
Receiving an education from The University of Texas at El Paso is considered a family tradition for Maria Castañón Moats and her siblings and cousins. As first generation Mexican-Americans, they chose to stay in their hometown to pursue a college degree in various fields of study.
"There's a great following in the Castañón family of all of us being very involved with the University," Castañón Moats said.
Nearly 20 years after completing a bachelor's degree in accounting from UTEP, Castañón Moats earned a seat on the leadership team of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of the world's largest accounting firms, when she was named chief diversity officer in July.
Castañón Moats migrated to El Paso from Mexico with her family at a young age and began her college career at UTEP in 1986. After a full day of classes and working part-time at a local Wal-Mart store, she spent her time studying at the newly built University Library and playing intramural sports, where she met many new friends.
"When I think about the four years that I went to school, it was just a great experience," Castañón Moats said. "UTEP gives those students with stories like mine an opportunity."
In 1990, she became the first in her family to graduate from college when she walked across the stage to receive her UTEP degree. Soon after, she passed the exam to become a certified public accountant and left El Paso for Dallas to begin working for Bank of America. Four years later, she was hired by PwC, where her hard work and dedication immediately made a mark at the firm.
"Maria always thinks about the people on her team and how we can make their experience at the firm more positive," said Paul Gendron, North Texas market assurance leader at PwC. "She has a passion for her work at PwC, and she consistently displays this passion in everything she does for her clients and her PwC teams."
As the first Latina in her new position as chief diversity officer, Castañón Moats will focus on strategies to diversify the firm's leadership and advance the diverse talent within the company. She said her education from UTEP was critical in her development as an accountant, a professional and now a business leader.
"It was the right thing to stay in El Paso," Castañón Moats said. "I don't have a job; I have a career, and I happen to love it."

All About Pie Crusts
Special Touches for the Upper Crust
- For a shiny top, brush the crust before baking with lightly beaten egg white. If desired, sprinkle with sugar.
- For a golden brown crust, brush before baking with milk, cream or an egg wash mixture of 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. If desired, sprinkle with sugar.
- To make pastry cutouts, roll out scraps of leftover dough. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters or a knife. With water or egg wash, moisten the back of the cutout and place the design, moistened side down, on the top crust.
- For cutout designs, use a knife or canapé cutter before setting the top crust over the filling.
- For a snowflake design, fold the dough for the top crust into quarters on the work surface. With a knife, cut small slits or holes into the folded edges, tip and center of the dough segments. Unfold to reveal a snowflake shape, similar to the designs children cut from folded paper.

Judge holds assault suspect without bailApril 10,2014Assault suspect held without bail
A Whitehall, N.Y., man, who was charged with breaking into a Fair Haven womans home, holding her at gunpoint and choking her, was ordered jailed without bail by a Rutland criminal court judge Wednesday.
Charles P. Kendall, 44, pleaded innocent in court to felony counts of burglary and aggravated domestic assault in the first degree with a weapon and misdemeanor charges of violating a restraining order and interfering with access to emergency services.
After lengthy arguments Wednesday, Judge Theresa DiMauro granted a request from Rutland County States Attorney Marc Brierre to jail Kendall without bail.
DiMauro said the evidence in the case appeared to be strong and the risk to the woman he threatened was high. She also decided based on a history of contempt cases in New York courts and his failure to abide by the conditions of a restraining order, that neither bail nor court orders would remove the risk to the woman Kendall allegedly attacked on Feb. 15.
Fair Haven Police say Kendall broke into a home on North Main Street and used a .22-caliber Derringer pistol to threaten a woman who was in bed. During the break-in he allegedly demanded to see the womans cellphone and then choked her to the point that she couldnt breathe.
Kendall was arrested by Whitehall Police in late February for being a wanted fugitive. On Tuesday, he waived extradition and was returned to Vermont where he is being held at the Rutland jail.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Media representatives surround an ambulance as it leaves the main entrance of Tihar Jail in New Delhi on Monday.
NEW DELHI -- The alleged ringleader in the gang-rape and death of a young Indian woman in December hanged himself in jail on Monday, officials said, a dramatic twist in a case that has provoked outrage across India.
Ram Singh's lawyer said his client had been composed and calm when he spoke to him on Friday and that there were other inmates in his cell in New Delhi's Tihar jail, raising questions about whether it was a suicide and how it could have gone unnoticed by staff in India's highest security prison.
Officials at a prison in India say a man accused in the gang rape of a woman killed himself in his jail cell. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
The lawyer and a prison official said Singh had not been on suicide watch.
Police have described Singh as the ringleader of five men and a juvenile on trial for the December 16 attack on the 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist on a bus in the Indian capital. Singh was driving the bus.
All six accused have pleaded not guilty to rape and murder.
The assault triggered nationwide protests, a toughening of rape laws and an intense debate about rampant crime against women in India.
Tihar prison authorities ordered a magisterial inquiry after Singh was found hanging in his cell at around 5 a.m. (7 p.m. ET Sunday), prison spokesman Sunil Gupta said.
Singh's lawyer, V.K. Anand, told Reuters that his client did not appear to be distressed when he spoke to him on Friday.
"I believe he was satisfied with the way the trial was proceeding because we had a very strong case against the prosecution's claims," he said.
"This is not suicide, this is something else. I know he had a few complaints of jail authorities torturing him, but nothing that would make him take his own life. We can't rule out foul play. Nothing is adding up," he said.
Manish Swarup / AP
The mother of Ram Singh cries as she speaks to journalists inside the family's home in New Delhi on Monday.
Anand has previously always denied that his client was being maltreated in prison. He did not elaborate on the "torture".
Singh had been kept in a cell with other inmates, he said.
A former director of the jail, Kiran Bedi, said Singh should have been kept isolated from the main prison population.
The trial of the five adult men started last month while the juvenile's trial began last week. Ram Singh's brother Mukesh Singh, gym assistant Vinay Sharma, bus cleaner Akshay Kumar Singh and fruit vendor Pawan Kumar are the other men on trial.
Under Indian law, the juvenile cannot be named.
The attack generated headlines around the world, but the case has since largely disappeared from public view, in large part because authorities have barred reporting on the trial, which was due to resume in a fast-track court on Monday.
Police allege the six attacked the woman and a male companion on the bus as the couple returned home after watching a movie on December 16. The woman was repeatedly raped and tortured with a metal bar. The couple were also severely beaten before being thrown onto a road.
The woman died of internal injuries in a Singapore hospital two weeks later.
The police report used to charge the accused draws a picture of Ram Singh as the ringleader. On the night of December 16, the accused gathered at his house for dinner, where he came up with the plan of taking the bus out to look for a victim to rape, the report said.
The police say they found him sitting in the blood-stained school bus, wearing a bloodied T-shirt, the morning after the crime. A DNA test revealed that the blood belonged to the rape victim, the report said.

So I've needed to create a script that will show tomorrows date, with the exception of Friday, Saturday and Sunday as I would like to show that option as Monday and a countdown timer that expires at 2PM every day.
So far I have:
Code: Select all
<?php date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); ?>
<?php echo $this->__('Order in the next ') ?>
<?php date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$today = strtotime('today 14:00');
$tomorrow = strtotime('tomorrow 14:00');
$now = time();
$timeLeft = ($now > $today ? $tomorrow : $today) - $now;
printf("%s\n", gmdate("H:i", $timeLeft));?>
<?php echo $this->__('and receive your order ') ?><?php $date = date("d-M-y", strtotime("tomorrow")); echo $date; ?>
Perfect, but how would I throw in the Friday, Saturday, Sunday variables?
Also is it possible to display the date written out example: Monday, October 21 ?

And I thought all the sports talk about Jeter was bad…
I was disappointed to see no resolution for the Albert Pujols contract
negotiations with the St. Louis Cardinals.
With the passing of Albert's deadline, we'll have to tolerate an entire
season of discussion regarding Albert's future before the contract negotiations
resume after the season. I may be a
die-hard Yankees fan, but I have no desire to see Albert play his career
anywhere except St. Louis.
Scott Rovak/Getty Images
I really thought that the Cardinals organization would have put forth a
highly competitive offer prior to the deadline.
It really makes me wonder why the Cardinals would invest $8 million in
former Yankee Lance Berkman who has clearly seen his better days rather than
look for a less expensive option with similar production to invest the Berkman
dollars toward the re-signing of Pujols.
I realize that $8 million for one year is insignificant in terms of what
it would take to sign Pujols over 10 years but there are ways the organization
could subsidize the contract without sacrificing the team's play-off
If Albert does become a free agent after the season, I agree with those
that say the Chicago Cubs would make a very strong play for the future Hall of
Famer. Nothing against the Cubs, but I'd
hate to see that happen. It's not unlike
Brett Favre and his decision to play for the Minnesota Vikings after a Hall of
Fame career with the Green Bay Packers.
Granted, they were separated by Favre's one year in New York with the
Jets but his decision to play for the Vikings did adversely impact the way he
is viewed by the Packers fans. Perhaps
Favre will be able to salvage a relationship with the Packers fans but he'll
never hold the stature of former Packer QB Bart Starr or current Green Bay QB
Aaron Rodgers now that he has won a Super Bowl in Green Bay. Albert deserves an untarnished legacy and he
should be remembered the way that Stan Musial is when his playing days are
over. Hopefully, the Cardinals
organization will use the days and months between now and the end of the season
to sharpen their pencil…
I wish reliever Neal Cotts the best of luck in his attempt to come back
from injuries. The Yankees released him
today after reviewing the results of his physical. I had hoped Cotts would experience a re-birth
under his former pitching coach, Larry Rothschild, but it was not meant to
be. Hopefully, this does not mean the
end of Cotts career but wherever he goes and whatever he does, I wish him the
I had hoped that reliever Brian Schlitter would clear waivers and return
to Yankees camp but he was selected by the Yankees latest nemesis, the
Philadelphia Phillies. Losing Schlitter
wasn't so bad since he probably would not have found a spot in the bullpen, but
losing him to the Phillies was bittersweet.
It used to be that my second favorite is any team that beats the Boston
Red Sox. My new second favorite team is
now any team that beats the Phillies. In
a Phillies-Red Sox World Series, I would pull for Boston and that's something
that I thought I'd never do…
Personally, I want a Yankees-Dodgers World Series! A Bay Area resident, I am withdrawing my NL support for the Giants and aligning myself with the Don Mattingly-led Dodgers. There is no way that I could root against my baseball idol from younger days…unless he is playing against the Yankees, of course. Granted, I am not crazy about the whole Frank McCourt divorce situation and the Dodgers don't have the Giants pitching staff but I have faith in Donnie Baseball…

I'll be rooting for Donnie too – as long as the Dodgers aren't facing the Yanks, that is. As for Pujols, that's a sad situation. I'm sure Cardinals fans are disappointed that a deal wasn't reached by now. But I still don't see Albert going anywhere else.
I hope Mattingly does well. Dodgers/Yankees final? On what planet? LOL!
The Cardinals will sort out this mess in due time. With all of us speculating on it for the next few months, I hope they can get a deal done quickly after the season.
As far as jeter and his negative headlines he the fault of all that trying to get all that money and getting it and as far as Favre is concerned thaeres no telling how many titles he would have had if ron Wolf would have got him help in the late ninties and early 2000's. Wolf admitted that himself. The fans when they think of Brett and what he had to work with they'll remember how good he really was!

My DS will be 4 mo old when I return to work. I will be away from him 8 hrs/dy 4 dys/wk. I will only be able to pump once while at work (and even then will be difficult some days). I probably will only nurse 4-5x a day (1x before work, as soon as I get home, 2-3x before bed and with one pumping session while at work). I plan on nursing exclusively the three dys/wk I don't work. My question is, will my milk supply be compromised? What if I can't pump enough to have for him while I'm gone? And, should I be building a freezer stash?
In general, how do some of you manage continuing to BF while going back to work?

It's been a few weeks since I wrote my last blog as I've been exceptionally busy with bitters production and preparation for Tales of the Cocktail, however this really isn't an excuse for not posting something so apologies to my regular reader (singular). In all seriousness, trying to find the time has been a bit of a nightmare so I took the advice of a very wise man who shall remain nameless, "If you're struggling to get something on paper, get someone else to do it for you."
I've long been wanting to write a piece on my ever expanding book collection though this posting was inspired by a question posed to me by Craig Harper a number of weeks back;
"If you were to recommend just one book to a bartender, of any skill-set or experience, what would it be?"
Talk about trick questions! This wasn't one I could easily pinpoint and I'm sure I changed my mind at least five times during our call; from Jerry Thomas, to Harry Johnson, to Charles H. Baker, to David Embury, to Dave Wondrich, and back again. I've a pretty enviable collection which I'm forever adding to and I could argue a case for many of them, so it occurred to me to utilise my Facebook and Twitter contacts and put this question out to the masses, reaching every corner of the globe. This would serve a three-fold purpose;
1. To ascertain which books have had most influence on the wider bartending community,
2. To form a reference point which could essentially act as a guide for anyone looking to start their own library,
3. To highlight any books I don't yet own but really have to get my hands on!
I targeted a number of influential industry figures of various standing and let them do the rest of the work to get to 50. Before you go any further please note each person's name is followed by a link to their workplace (so you can pop in for a drink if it's a bar they work in), the title of the book they selected, and finally the author.
I would have liked to add a line from each person about their choice as I had some great justification;
Paul Mant: "Harry's ABC. Not because of its seminal historical value but because it was the first pocket sized alphabetised book that allowed bartenders to keep it on them and pretend like they knew it all when in truth they were ducking under the bar to make it look like they did."
Anistatia Miller: "I always direct people to Harry Johnson's Bartenders' Manual. Why? Because we have to remember that being a great publican stands above being a great drinks maker."
and my own personal favourite from Jim Romdall: "In life, it's never about the drink you're having, it's about what's happening around you while you're having that drink."
...though I'm sure you'll understand this would have taken the length of this blog to ridiculous proportions.
For anyone wishing to purchase a particular title that's listed, I have taken the time to link the book titles/authors to sales links on AbeBooks and Amazon. Click on the title and it will bring up a list of books available for sale. These will range from first editions to modern reprints so you can buy based on your budget. I also want to point out I'm in no way affiliated to either of these companies and won't in any way profit from any sales.
Without further ado, the books...

No mention of Arthur Bell?
I would ad Gilbert Baker to this list.
No Martina????Ken Mehlman is one of the great DOUCHEBAGS of all time- it was him, as RNC Chair/Bush Cmpgn director who put gay marriage props on ballots to turn out the base to vote for Bush and against us- we should NEVER forgive this man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is Chelsea Manning on this list?
VERY suprised Queerty's Lord/God and King isn't on here…..
Ken Melhman did great harm to the gay community. There is nothing he can do to make up for it. Why would you skip someone like Vito Russo and list him? Pitiful.
I feel like there has been a bit of gay-washing around Harry Hay. While I am very thrilled he was included, I think more should be said about how utterly radical he was and how he was also the Founder (with others) of the Radical Faeries.
Reverend Troy Perry who founded a church specifically for Tlgb christians before stonewall and helped to organize the first pride parade…among many other historical firsts
I couldn't agree more, Chelsea was nothing more than a headline seeking gadfly, and tried using her unbeknownst gender identity as a defense to making such a stupid decision to divulge classified information for personal gain. She is not a champion for anything other than Chelsea. Take her off of this list if you want to keep it legitimate.
This list is invalidated by the inclusion of Ken Mehlman.
And Cher??
What did she trailblaze?? Cosmetic surgery and Botox?
I agree, there are a number of questionable inclusions on this list but none are more egregious than Mary Cheney who instead of contributing to our movement has been donating tens of thousands of dollars to our enemies–like Mitt Romney–while living the life of a 1%-er–and in that famous hissy fit she had with her repulsive sister Liz–Dick came out on Liz's side rather than evolving like Queerty claims.
No RuPaul?
hip hip hooray to all the men, women and trans people who have done so much to help so many.
Where are Harvey Milk, Barney Frank, Billie Jean King, Ellen DeGeneres, Greg Louganis, et al?
I remember Bella Abzug. She wore really terrific hats, and she was a great lady, too. She should be on the list. I would have also included Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue. On the other hand, Melhman and Cheney do NOT belong on this list.
i'd give a nod to Brian Sims. For many reasons.
I love it …the 45 Trailblazers Who Changed the World are ALL Americans. Nobody anywhere else in the world including the UK or Canada or South Africa hjas done anything since 1969 to advance LGBT human rights or same-sex marriage or anti-dicrimination laws. What a sad world. But then again PEOPLE magazine for years runs a special feature on the World's Most Beautiful Person..and can you guess what country that person invariably comes from?
Love to all above, except for Ken Mehlman. He can kiss my ass.
@Shanestud: "I love it …the 45 Trailblazers Who Changed the World are ALL Americans."
Yes, quite.
Where's Georgina Beyer, the first transsexual politician in the world? She certainly deserves to be there more than Christine Jorgensen.
Oh Queerty, where's Harvey Milk??? Elizabeth Taylor?? Even Barrack Obama???
Gene Robinson??
Well, this is definitely open to discussion as a starting point. I suggest Queerty make a call for input beyond the comments section.
For me, if you're going to include Mary Cheney & Ken Mehlman, you might as well include folks like Anita Bryant & that tap-dancing bathroom senator. After all, if not for their adversity we wouldn't have mobilized & turned public opinion as dramatically as we have.
Chuck Dima got the Big Apple Softball League going. He always looked out for LGBT kids who were on the street and used to hold Thanksgiving Dinner in his bar on Christopher Street where he always brought in those with nowhere to go.
Not really sure why Steve Gallardo is on here either. Yeah sure it's nice to have out politicians and everything, but he hasn't exactly changed the world. In fact the only thing that's changed since he came out is he ended his bid for congress and is now running for a county commission seat.
Manning has every right to be whom ever she wishes. If she wants to be Chelsea now, by all means allow it. However, not on my dime. This person considers herself a whistle blower, but she is a traitor to our country. If she feels she needs to be a woman, that is a personal decision only she can make. The taxpayer, regardless of their opinion on the LGBTQ issues, should not have to pay for someone who sold out their country and probably caused inumeral deaths of our boys and girls in the service of their country. Also, while wearing the uniform of any branch of the military you are sworn to loyalty. You have never been sworn to sexual preference, it was policy. You were however sworn to protect and preserve this country. The Rosenbergs were put to death for less.
There are quite a few people missing. Milk, Frank, Ellen, Greg Louganis. For allies, President Obama & VP Biden, Oprah, the Govs of NY, MD, IL. I agree about Donahue & Marlo & really, no Elizabeth Taylor.
Mehlman = a self hating former closet case. How many kids killed themselves after his shameful 04 campaign?
Mary Cheney????? LOL @ that one. WTF has she ever done for anyone other than herself.
Manning. A traitor. No place on this list. I agree with everything Candleman01 said
