Providence Stuns Villanova in Regular Season Finale
from staff reports
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Villanova men's lacrosse team's NCAA tournament hopes, which once seemed secure with the nation's second-toughest schedule, took a significant hit with a stunning 15-11 loss to Providence, a team that before Saturday had lost 11 straight and had never won a Big East game.
Senior Jake Nolan and freshman Greg FitzMaurice led the Friars in with three goals apiece. Nolan also notched two assists. Sophomore Sean Wright scored two goals and registered three assists in the victory. Sophomore Andrew Barton contributed a goal and three assists.
In the first quarter, the Wildcats took an early 2-0 lead scoring at the 11:37 and 10:34 marks, but the Friars responded with four consecutive goals to gain a 4-2 edge. At the 8:57 mark, Niall Cahill scored his 12th goal of the season on a pass from Nolan. Seven seconds later, Bromley won the faceoff and stormed down the field to score his first goal of the season at the 8:50 mark. With 7:11 on the clock, FitzMaurice gave the Friars their first lead of the game, 3-2, when he scored on a ball from Wright. Josh Torres extended the Providence lead to two, 4-2, when he scored at the 3:35 mark, unassisted, to cap the quarter.
FitzMaurice scored his second goal of the game early on in the second quarter at the 12:04 mark to extend the Friar lead to three, 5-2. Villanova's Max Hart scored a goal a minute later at the 11:04 mark but Nolan followed with his 12th goal of the season with at the 10:35 mark to put the Friars up, 6-3. Wildcat Kevin Cunningham scored consecutive goals to decrease the Villanova deficit to one, 6-5, at the 7:03 and 2:36 marks, before teammate Michael Vigilante scored the equalizer on a man-up goal with 1:04 remaining to knot the game at six goals apiece entering halftime.
Following halftime, Nolan scored his second of three goals in the matchup when he took a low shot off a pass from Wright at the 13:06 to give the Friars a 7-6 lead. It would not last as Villanova scored with 9:50 to play but Wright put the Friars ahead again, 8-7, less than a minute later, at the 9:21 mark. Weber then extended the Friar lead to two, 9-7, when he scored with 6:30 on the clock. Wright scored again in the quarter, at the 3:59 mark, before Villanova's Will Casertano scored with 1:54 to play, to cut the Friar edge to two, 10-8, entering the final quarter of the game.
Providence gained its largest lead of five, 13-8, following three consecutive goals from Barton, Noyes and Textor, at the 14:41, 13:33 and 10:32 marks, respectively. Villanova responded with consecutive goals of its own at 8:13 and 7:32 but it would not be enough. Nolan scored his third and final goal of the game and season at the 5:04 mark on a pass from Barton to extend the Friar lead to four, 14-10. Providence and Villanova traded goals to end the game, with the Wildcats coming within three on a goal from Hart at the 4:02 mark and FitzMaurice capping the scoring at the 1:27 mark to end the game with the Friars on top, 15-11.
Dzwilewski notched 14 saves in his final regular season game of his collegiate career.
The game marks the end of the Friars' regular season. The team finished 2-12 overall and 1-5 in the Big East.
Villanova now turns its attention to the Big East tournament, which it will host next week. The second-seeded Wildcats will meet third-seeded Syracuse Thursday at 7 p.m.

Murder at Government House (Penguin Crime Fiction) (edition 1989)
by Elspeth Josceline Huxley
Work details
Murder at Government House by Elspeth Huxley
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I liked this mystery set in Africa during the colonial period. I especially liked Vachell and Olivia working together to figure out who killed the Governor and why. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Murder on Safari.
A high official of an African colony is murdered just before an importance conference and a transplanted Canadian policeman (aided by an anthropologist) must sort out the various business and tribal clues to find a surprising solution. Pleasant and interesting for the glimpses into different cultures.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0140112553, Paperback)Life at Government House in the African colony of Chania seems relaxed and booming though Olivia Brandeis, a young anthropologist, senses trouble brewing. And when the governor, Sir Malcolm McLeod, is found strangled at his desk, her intuition is proven sound.
Enter Superintendent Vachell. His interrogation removes the crust of calm from the local community. But it is not until Olivia relates her encounter with a tribal witchdoctor that the riddle surrounding the murder is solved.
"Secret societies, murder and mystery are set against the vivid African landscape in this crime classic from the author of THE AFRICAN POISON MURDERS and THE FLAME TREES OF THIKA." (Publisher's Source)

Pennsylvania is on its way to becoming the Wild West for Cybercharters, where anything goes, so long as it's online.
The state already has 16 Cybercharters. Now it is considering another 8 of them. The only states with more students enrolled in virtual charters are Ohio and Arizona.
This likely expansion will occur despite repeated evidence that the academic quality of these virtual schools is inferior and that the costs are inflated. Also, the money to fund their bloated budgets comes out of the budget of public schools, so its a lose-lose proposition.
The fact that the state's largest Cybercharter is under investigation by the FBI is unlikely to have any bearing on the state's decision.

"O" meaning "Original"?
The only group denied tax-exempt status due to IRS investigations during the Obama administration was a liberal group. It's OK, that one flustered Karl Rove too…
It started under a Democratic administration-Carter, 1978, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
apparently you have never heard of the patriot act…
Hey look.. another right winger making statements with ZERO facts to back them up..gee what a suprise
Still waiting for just ONE example from the "hundreds" you stated were denied.
At a certain point it cannot be blamed on ignorance, deliberate lies are what you tell.
If I recall correctly, Superman originally did not fight for "truth, justice and the American way"
From my link above:
"However, when the "never-ending battle for…" phrase originally appeared, it was in the popular Adventures of Superman radio series that ran from 1940-1951. It was not until the middle of 1942, with the United States firmly entrenched in World War II that the term "the American Way" was added to the opening of the series. But later in the decade, by the time the war ended, it was dropped once again.
The phrase has become ingrained in the world of popular culture through its use in the popular Adventures of Superman television series which ran from 1952-1958, where it was part of the opening of every episode…
…, and that has become the way the phrase has been known ever since (Christopher Reeve even explicitly says it in the 1978 Superman film). Now you know, though, that omitting "the American Way" is only taking the phrase back to its origins!
In Action Comics #900 Superman announces that he is going to renounce his U.S. citizenship so that he could be a "citizen of the world" and not have his actions construed as being part of U.S. policy.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
Well, he hands you a nickel,
He hands you a dime,
He asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time,
Then he fines you every time you slam the door.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
"….but trying to paint this as a Democratic program is either partisan hypocrisy or just stupidity."
Be careful what you post, Gary. From your first post in this forum: "Yes, of course this stuff would've never started under a Republican administration. Oh wait, that was how it started." which is not true. The FISA was introduced by Ted Kennedy and signed into law by Jimmy Carter in 1978.
And, you are correct about it being greatly expanded under Bush. Whereas the FISA is the basis for all of this stuff, it is only 16 pages (pdf) long. The Patriot Act is 132 pages (pdf) long and contains many, many amendments to the FISA.
Folks need to go back and look starting in '81 about what the "Acting President's" people were up to, including those who went to prison, and those who were convicted, but pardoned by GHW Bush. They used the movie star to play out mythical scenarios that MGM wouldn't buy, but "conservatives" did.
"…. result in the domestic collection of data on American citizens ON American soil?…."
I am not definitively able to say whether American citizens were spied secretly upon between the FISA and the Patriot Act. That information is not publicly available. None of the warrants are available; however, from the FISA page 3 :
• ((f) "Electronic surveillance" means—
(3) the intentional acquisition by an electronic, mechanical, or other surveillance device of the contents of any radio communication, under circumstances in which a person has a
reasonable expectation of privacy and a warrant would be required for law enforcement purposes, and if both the sender and all intended recipients are located within the United States;
From page 8:
(5) the application which has been filed contains all statements and certifications required by section 104 and, if the target is a United States person, the certification or certifications are not clearly erroneous on the basis of the statement made under section 104(a) (7) (E) and any other information furnished under section 104(d).
Anyway, yeah, they could spy on American Citizens.
Just as general information, Since the FISA's inception, there have been 33,949 FISA applications with only 11 rejected. There is something that I haven't seen brought up is a thing called a "National Security Letter" of which 304,862 have been issued since 2003. These are issued by the FBI (mostly, but can be used by other agencies) to get around subpoenas and warrants. When issued they come with a gag order. These NSL's are what have been used to get personal information from Google, Facebook, etc., and are currently in the court system as to legality. They can be issued by personnel as far down the chain of command as a Special Agent in Charge in a Bureau field office.
There is a ton more on this out there of the nature of what I've posted. I've truncated way to much to give all of the exceptions and provisos trying to keep this "unsuccessfully" short so please don't beat me up with any that I left out that you run across.

Everyone Needs an Eli
Patricia Sánchez, National Catholic Reporter
Two weeks into the new year, the sacred texts alert us yet again to the fact that we do not create our own lives or futures, regardless of our penchant for planning and organization. We are called into being, called to serve and called into the unknown future by a God who knows and loves us and never departs from us. Our response to God is constituted in what we do with all the divine calls that punctuate our days and nights with possibility.
In formulating his response to God, Samuel (first reading) was aided by the older and wiser Eli. Most of us have the need of an "Eli" at one time or another in our lives. Some of us are also called to be an Eli for others. At times, serving as someone's Eli simply means being present to them -- listening, talking,...
TAGGED: Bible, Eli

In Kent, Washington, a man has been charged after a days-long crime spree in which he targeted men he met off gay dating apps, GROWLr and SCRUFF.
Leverne Lee Maxwell, 32, is accused of seven felony charges, including raping one of his victims at gunpoint. That particular incident took place April 7 after Maxwell met his victim through the GROWLr website and mobile phone app.
Seattle PI reports:
Having met through the site, Maxwell posed as a buyer for a Kindle eBook the man was trying to sell, the detective told the court. Once inside the man's home, he asked for a glass of water and again became very aggressive.
"You're a little (anti-gay slur) aren't you," Maxwell told the man, according to charging papers.
"You're gonna suck my (expletive)," he continued.
Maxwell then pulled a pistol and threatened to kill the man before sexually assaulting him.
Four days later, Maxwell robbed a second man that he met off GROWLr at gunpoint in South Seattle, taking his laptop and iPhone. Then on April 13, Maxwell stole another man's iPhone after meeting him through SCRUFF.
According to charging papers, Maxwell used a phone belonging to the mother of his two-year-old child to contact his victims. Investigators were able to link Maxwell to the rape through a used condom and fingerprints, as well as a handgun recovered from his apartment. They also claim to have video of him selling a stolen phone in Kent and several men have identified him as their attacker.
Maxwell, an 11-time felon, was arrested April 19 and charged with first degree rape, three counts of first-degree robbery, two counts of unlawful gun possession and one count of first-degree burglary. He denied the rape, claiming they had consensual sex, and also denied robbing anyone or using a gun to do so.
Maxwell remains jailed on a $750,000 bail and is expected to appear in court May 6.

NO judgement on internet hook-ups or selling items at all but you have to be careful. You have to meet people in public first and get a read on people before moving forward. I hope the rapist who needed a gun, gets his ass ripped up in jail.
See what happens when people slap a name like Leverne on their son?
A rapist that uses a condom ………?
The gay mafia is on it, DOFEK. This guy will wish someone had been merciful enough to use use a gun on him…
I really do envy those who have the nerve to let total strangers into their homes and have hot sex. I feel pity for those who are so lonely they resort to hooking up with online strangers with the belief their chances are less getting HIV than going to a bathhouse, where in my opinion you are more physically safer and run no more higher risk of getting HIV than letting a total stranger into your HOME.
Imagine how many unreported incidents that HAVE happened. Every time I read or hear on the news about a single man being found murdered in his apartment online hookup is the first thing that goes thru my mind.
@Bob LaBlah: upon reading this story the reporter stated the guy who was raped was selling a tablet not cruising for sex
In my experience with online hookups its usually attractive guys beings sneaky and cheating and that works just fine for me
With the lack of laws protecting homosexuals, he's probably going to get 1 week in prison.
11-time felon? Uh, why does he keep getting out? Don't most places have a 3-strikes law to enhance sentences?
@oilburner: Good for you. I hope your luck (so far) stays with you.
@Caliban: My thoughts exactly. Why didn't anyone notice a pattern?!
@Caliban: For what it's worth, Caliban, Wikipedia claims that three-strikes laws come into play when someone commits three or more "serious" crimes. Maxwell is an 11-time felon, but were the crimes he committed considered serious by the court? Also, he may be serving his time out on parole, probably under the belief that he isn't a danger to society- which is usually why three-strikes laws are used. If he's found guilty, he may finally have maxed out on the court's good will.
This is a terrible crime spree and one can only hope justice will be served appropriately in this matter.
First of all, 11 FELONIES??!!! WTF? Why is this guy out on the streets? Come on Washington! Really?! What does one have to do to get put away for good there?
Second, I used to live in NYC where there were quite a few online hook-ups that ended in someone being killed, usually horribly, and in a couple of cases, the whole apartment set on fire afterward. No thank you! I'm way over those hookup apps too. I always do MUCH better face to face than online. Though face to face doesn't protect you if the person you're with is going to kill you anyway. But, I've been attacked going home with someone (not in NYC) so you never REALLY know the person. It's just a better way to talk to someone and get a vibe. In any case, NEVER hook up with someone without anyone knowing and invite them to your house. That's just asking for it.
11-time felon? Felonies, by definition, are serious. Why was this guy walking the street when 3-time marijuana convicts are in jail for life?
@Polaro, because he is probably white and they aren't.
Let's go ahead and take bets on how quickly his lawyer works in the "homosexual panic" defense.
THAT IS SO SCARY!!! He's messaged me on Growlr before. I live 20 miles from Kent!!! OMG!!! OMFG!!!
@Caliban: 3-strikes only applies to Class-A violent felonies. You can commit as many other felonies as you want and continue to get out…
With online hookups, definitely feel someone out, whether they've been using drugs/drinking, willing to play safe only, and offer up their number and mulitple clear face picture. Anything can happen, but common sense can help you protect yourself. Far cuter guys on grindr than any bathhouse Ive been (very different demographic, though that says nothing about HIV/STD status)
@Bob LaBlah: I certainly agree completely. Baths are far safer and healthier!!!
@tardis: Thankfully here in Washington, we have protections for LGBTs in place. In my opinion, WA is one of the best states for LGBT individuals.
@DarkZephyr: We are really lucky here in Washington thank god. I'm just about to start a new job and it will be the first job that I will be out of the closet at, and I am so excited. The Advocate just posted an article with the "gayest cities in america" and I'm not sure how… but this was the top five…
1. Tacoma, Wash.
2. Springfield, Mass.
3. Spokane, Wash.
4. Washington, D.C.
5. Seattle
LGBT Law-wise Washington has really excelled in the last few years. 10 years ago we used to be behind CA in non-discrimination protections, and now we match that and surpass CA in marriage laws.
This is why I don't do quick hookups. Anyone who wants me on Growlr is going to have to talk to me for a long time before they can meet me. Most psycho's don't want to take that time.
@oilburner: I'm with you. This supposed world renowned bath house not far from me smells like poop, poppers and bleach. Furthermore, just like you have to be careful with online hook-ups, you have to find some ray of light in that bath house to pull those people to first because a) it's so dark and b) they're usually butt ugly. Scary ugly. Furthermore the supposed "transgendered" they're letting in those places now are doing their dirty deeds of stealing and stabbing while dressed in drag just like they do outside of the bath house. Have it!
….this whole business make me wonder how do you actually rape someone with one hand? If a gun is in the other?….what do you do? Just say you're going to shoot them if they don't do as they're told?
I feel that this is a little bit of B.S. story because the victim/victims (so-called) must have got turned on by the idea of a person brandishing a gun and then saying–"Drop 'em and spread 'em and put some lube up there!!! I'm sure you know what I mean?
Daggerman, you're one stupid piece of turd. If you can just use a little imagination, gun in one hand (pointed at head), other hand either pushing/pressing the person down, and hard penis (with condom already on or not) probing and piercing the orifice(s). Why is this so difficult to picture? We do know what you mean; you mean to stay in your pretty little bubble of denial, cuz continuing to get your regular dose of dick in whatever ways you're
used to is apparently more important to you than safety. Wake the f#%k up!

Hospitalized inmate fatally shot by deputy
Walworth County sheriff's officials say an inmate under guard at an Elkhorn hospital was fatally shot by a deputy during an escape attempt.
Authorities say Alfredo Villarreal, 18, of Janesville, was undergoing tests for an unidentified medical issue when he attacked the deputy Monday about 7 p.m.
Sheriff's officials say Villarreal punched and kicked the deputy in the face multiple times. The deputy used a stun gun on the inmate which failed to stop him.
The sheriff's department says Villarreal then tried breaking a window in his room with a chair. And when that didn't work, he tried to hit the deputy over the head with the chair. The deputy then shot and killed Villarreal who died at the scene.
The Walworth County Sheriff's Department has turned the investigation over to Waukesha County.

2007, 3LT. 30K on the clock. $31,900.
Nice ride. Do you know the GM color name for that red? I like it a lot. It looks darker than normal to me, maybe it's just the outside lighting though.

25+ year ASE Master Certified Tech
22+ year Honda Master Tech
Hope you enjoy your new ride, I know you will.
Nice looking ride there Paul.
The C6, with every single possible RPO imaginable is very complicated. I have a lot of learning to do. It's like learning to fly a new plane when I used to fly.
I can't believe this car had one owner in Hunginton Beach, all maintenance including oil changes done at the dealer, non-smoker, very well maintained. What a difference between a C5 and a C6. Even the doors are electronic.
The nav system takes an engineering degree to learn! But I love that kind of stuff.
I have never seen such an advanced car in my life. It really is amazing.
It handles like a dream, it even has special handling at slow speeds, very tight.
It came with the original Eagle run flats but next week I'm gonna put Michelin Pro Pilot sport AS ZPs. I had Michelins on my C5 but they weren't run flats. These Eagles aren't as bad as people make them out to be. The ride is nice, I don't feel anythin gin the road as people claim. I just need to replace them be ause of tread wear as I read the Eagles don't last too long.
Too much fun.
Paul, congratulations on the C6! Monterey Red is my wife's favorite color for a Vette. If I ever decide to upgrade to a C6, it WILL be a Monterey Red one! Good luck with it!

Congrats on the beautiful C6. But what happened to your love affair with C5s?
Here is your post of less than a month ago.
"I liked my C4 but I love the C5 much more.
I come from an airline background, aircraft cockpits.
To me the C5 is a lot like a cockpit of a 777.
The C6 on the other hand is similar to a lowly Cessna 172.
I've sat in boatloads of 'em but never drove one.
The power and handling don't really get me excited, I like the way a C5 looks. The exterior is sexy, the interior is lush.
The C6's interior to me is Spartan. Plain, it looks as plain as my mother-in-law's Hyundai.
when I'm in my car it's like flying, you become one with the machine.
Maybe I could get used to a C6 but w/o all the buttons and gadgets it's not the same.
Just my opinion for what it's worth."
What was your Epiphany? Just curious.

Very nice ride. I hope you get to enjoy it for many years to come!
Jay !!!
OK, here's the deal.
I changed my mind when I drove this C6 which is RPO'd to the max. I mean it has every single little last option you could possible order from Chevy.
I like the REAL tight handling of the C6 in slower speeds compared to the C6. The C5 seemed MUCH wider as compared to the C6. I'm totally enamored of the C6 now. I still love the real sleek, almost feminine curves of a C5 but a C6 looks like pure muscle.
Having said that it really is a toss up. I now like 'em both but I prefer the C6 with the maxed RPOs.
Sometime I'll tell you a story about this billionaire in Reno who collected hundreds of brand new cars. 30 of them were brand new C5 anniversary editions. A dealer here in GA bought them all and he has like seven left. They have 15 miles on them. I was THIS close to buying one but my credit union would only finance what the car was worth, book value. They didn't understand it was brand new. I could go on if ya'll ask me to as it is a long story but these cars are loaded, anniversary C5s.

Skip to comments.All history is black history
Posted on 02/29/2012 8:39:22 AM PST by combat_boots
Why Black History Month? If a people has a past worth learning about, they also must have a future worth caring about.
Irvine, CA - When I was a child, Black History Month, which since 1976 has been celebrated in February each year in the United States, used to mean something.
Perhaps it was because I lived in the New York Metropolitan area in the still race-conscious 1970s and 1980s, but during February it was hard not to get at least a hint of an education about African American history and its contribution to the larger American mosaic, whether it was school activities or public service spots on television, or surrounding the growing chorus of voices to make Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday a national holiday.
True, February is the shortest month of the year; but contrary to urban legend that's not why it was chosen as Black History Month. Instead, it was because the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, perhaps the two most important figures before Martin Luther King in the quest for black freedom in the United States, both occurred in mid-February.
There were plenty of reasons to criticise the "ghettoising" of black American history into one short month. But the idea at least had the virtue of getting kids to think about the fact that there was such a thing as a specifically African American narrative within the larger, and largely white, version of American history we were being taught in school. And if you grew up in an urban, significantly black cultural milieu, the focus on history - that is, on black people having a past worth learning about - added a bit of extra gravitas to the increasing dominance of African American artistic production within American culture as a whole.
(Excerpt) Read more at aljazeera.com ...
Mark Levine is actually in our forthcoming film, "Other Walls 2 Fall," and can be seen in our trailer at www.rockinthewallstudios.com under "Projects: In Production."
I want a white history month. You know the race that contributed more to technology and cultural advancement of the human race than any other race. Oh wait I get called racist If Im proud of being white. Sick of the double standard as are millions more like me.
"celebrated in February each year "
Umm, Mark...I think the word is observed, not celebrated.
Many of us find it to be a contrived observance, much like kwnaza and the rest of the made up, fairy tale holidays.
American History is the subject that should broach the history of American immigrants of African origin.
I celebrate life, but not too many man-made, feel good events.
It still means nothing. Just more "White-washed" (rewritten "history") all part of the PC Crowd's "we're good, you're evil" mantra
I always fast forward. Note they selected the month with the fewest days lol.
I wouldn't be proud of that. Our culture is a sulphurous blast of vanity.
Here is what black history month is.
14-year-old brutally murders mother because she wouldnt let him join gang
Wednesday, February 29, 2012 8:34:38 AM · by chessplayer.
http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2012/02/28/14-year-old-brutally-murders-mother-because-she-wouldnt-let-him-join-gang/ ^
Joshua Smith, 14, was at one of lifes crossroads. His mother, Tamiko Robinson, fought hard to keep the Detroit teen on the straight and narrow. Members of a local gang in their twenties pressured him to live life as they did, on the edge. Early Monday, Joshua made his decision. According to the Mail Online, he entered his stepfathers room, got hold of a 12-gauge shotgun, and pumped at least ten rounds into his sleeping mother. The execution, carried out gangland style, was a clear and unambiguous message. It speaks volumes about two lives, destroyed in an instant.
Also note that 'Presidents' Day' has become a shopping day/day off. Washington and Lincoln's birthdays? Nah.
Ringtone to add and words for "The Black National Anthem"
And the MLK Birthday? Pander pander pander. Washington and Jefferson did far more for this country and Lincoln? Only held the Union together.
You know the race that contributed more to technology and cultural advancement of the human race than any other race.
True however the white guilt progressives and other hate America first clans will never stand for a white history month.
Which kind of white? Everybody has a commemorative month, or at least a week. Geeks have January; women, Irish-Americans and Greek Americans share March; Arab and Scotts Americans have April; Orientals and Jews get May; and the list goes on. There's no double standard, you're just not paying attention to when your sub group's month is. Though I actually prefer to pay attention to other subgroups, subgroups with tasty cuisine, because often times their restaurants run specials in their months.
I'm an American-American.
Not counting the times when my normal work schedule gave me Monday off I only ever got President's Day off once, oddly enough the year after the company I'm in got bought by a Canadian company. They dropped that holiday the next year though.
Because they're not brought up at schools or workplaces.
Neither is black history month anymore. The only place I've seen BHM mentioned at all this year is here, people complaining about it. I haven't even seen the History Channel mention it this year, which traditionally was the only place I ever heard about it from.
I think that the first Blackman my Grandfather met was a wandering Blacksmith who shod horses up in the Unitas in the 1900's.
We need a special month for each group—what about Indians who really had it bad in US history? Where is there day? Sitting Bulls Birthday? What about Asian Americans? They got it in the neck big time—Where is Charlie Chan day? What about Mormons? they were killed and even forced out of the nation—Where is our Joseph Smith Day? What about Mexicans—they faced a lot of problems? At least they have Cinco de Mayo. And us Irishmen—The Americans formed a whole political Party to try and keep us out (the Know Nothing Party)—at least we have St. Patties but it should be a National Holiday like MLK. This isn't counting all the other groups who helped America be great.
Totally agree with your post.
Conversely, what has Africa or Islam contributed to modern man?
Show me one invention. Just one!
ITs only been a one way flow. And they want a 7 th century caliphate?
Bass ackwards fools, idiots supreme!
Tabula rasa.
Posted comment at the WINS Black History month webpage:
White history is coming to a grinding halt because we have given credence to this absurdity.ML/NJ
But, but 0bama said Islam helped America from herearliest times, and California tetbooks said muslims discovered America.
So we're going to get month-long features from many MSM (or even ANY) sources about the great "Orientals" in American History? Please keep me informed.
what about Indians who really had it bad in US history? - November
What about Asian Americans? - May
Mormons get stiffed, but you guys have an entire state.
What about Mexicansthey faced a lot of problems? September
And us Irishmen - March
Everybody gets something, just gotta go look. Really everybody that whines about this should first go to this page:
You'll probably find the group you think should be recognized on there somewhere. Except the Mormons apparently, but if Romney wins that'll probably get "fixed". Commemorative days, weeks and months are all over the place. You just don't hear about them because there's so many. Pretty much every day is a dozen "celebrations".
Have there been month long features for Black History Month? I haven't seen any. Like I said to somebody else, the only coverage I've seen of BHM this year is FReepers whining about it.
It's brought up at schools, tv, and workplaces.
Mouthpieces want to hang slavery on the whiteman, and whiteman America.
Aint so.... more need to be aware and a great tool is the following vid.... which implies Islams long standing guilt in slaving...
Why any self respecting blackman can participate in Islam is beyond me!
Not anyplace I've seen. I mean I'm sure it is somewhere. Doubtless BET (does that channel even still exist) is all over it, probably schools in black neighborhoods. But really if the FReepers would just stop pissing and moaning about it I would have gone the entire BHM without being reminded it was BHM. People gotta get over it, commemorative months happen, every month has a bunch, some get more recognized than others, maybe your aren't as celebrated as other, life's not fair that way, suck it up.
All part of the big lie from the greatest liar and conman of ALL TIMES to EVER hit America's shores!
Are you black?
Call me racist or whatever, but I am damn sick and disgusted with this African American and Hispanic American hyphenated ethnic crapola. Either they are Americans or they are not. If African or Hispanic first, then they can go to hell.
Thank you.
I am getting a headache. Must be blood pressure.
You're not paying attention. You could follow the link I gave at post #23 on this thread; or you could check GoogleNews which reports "about 11,500 results" during the past month.
Then I must assume you would be really, really upset if I called myself an... a Robot-American?
What really burns me is that there is slavery in this world NOW. Right NOW. Revenge for something from 150-500 or more years ago is so 1863.
Sudan, Somolia, wherever Islam lives.... even Obama's Arab Spring franchises....that we paid for.
About as white as a person can get, German heritage, in the software business, listen to heavy metal and prog rock.
I've got 6500 hits on American Heart Month which is also February. Who should we blame for that?
The only reason BHM is as big as it is (which isn't actually very big at all) is because there are members of the black community that work their butts off to make it big. And your link is meaningless, one local channel whoooo. It's supposed to be a NATIONAL month where the NATIONAL big deal about it? There isn't one, except probably on BET.
Yeah. Just a little local link.
To the most listened to radio station in the largest market in the country. The reason I know about it is that I hear this cr@p every morning while I'm shaving.
You could also read bilge like this from AT&T or this from GM.
Keep me posted when you see similar nonsense about Jewish History Month.
Pander is correct.
MLK plagiarized his dissertation, was an adulterer and hired prostitutes. Politicians in Washington decided he should be honored instead of George Washington.
If that is not pandering, what is?
Then maybe you should try a different radio station.
If you want Jewish American Heritage Month to get similar notice DO IT. This doesn't happen on accident, this happens because people put work into it. Get your favorite synagog & Jewish community center & kosher deli to start a festival, introduce people to the wonderful world of kosher pastrami. We have a huge Greek festival every year in Tucson, not because we have a lot of Greeks but because the Greeks we do have are willing to put forth the work to make it happen. So go ahead and make it happen, if you took half the time you're spending complaining about BHM and put it into making JAHM an event it would already be one.
There has been a little thing kicking around the last few years in Virginia called "The Slavery Museum".
It is undergoing bankruptcy and reorganization again.
Only problem is they are not allowed to depict or mention slaves being slaves etc.
Sorry but isn't that tantamount to having a Navy Museum and not being able to mention or show the fact that humans actually lived aboard Navy ships in bad conditions?
You said it didn't happen at all.
I, for one, wouldn't want any notice of a stupid "Jewish History Month." I would find it condescending and demeaning.
maybe you should try a different radio station.
I listen to WINS in the morning because it at least gives the weather every few minutes. I used to listen to WCBS, but when they continued to celebrate Dan Rather after he was caught red-handed committing fraud, I switched. Since then, all these stations are now owned by the same corporation, but WINS is the only one that doesn't preempt its regular news (such as it is) schedule for meaningless baseball and/or basketball games. So if it's okay with you, I'll keep listening.
It's not happening as much as some whiners want to think. It certainly is the "biggest" of the ethnic commemorative months, but it's not that big. Really not one mention on History Channel at all, not the network or the website. The freaking History Channel which used to totally obsess on BHM hasn't even mentioned it.
Well if you don't want your month (which is May by the way) recognized then why are you even complaining?
Get the weather off the web, the night before. That's how I get it. If you really MUST get it on the radio I'm sure there's half a dozen other station in the NYC area that give it regularly. If you don't like the content but keep listening that's YOUR fault. I don't listen to any radio station at all, because I have better content than they do.
Because I find Black History Month to be pure pandering. They don't even consider the blacks that are most deserving of a spotlight because I guess they are all "Toms."
We really don't need to pretending that there are alternate histories. Yes, there can be different emphasis and/or focus, but anyone who is teaching Maya Angelou as literature needs to be removed. We need to be teaching real American History and real English Literature to a population now almost completely ignorant of it.
Of course it's pandering, ALL the commemorative days weeks and months are pandering. Mothers Day? Pandering. Fathers Day? Pandering. Hurricane Preparedness Week? Pandering. Fire Prevention Month? Pandering. That's the whole point of these things, to pander to some group the sitting president want to vote for him by giving them the false impression he cares about them on an individual level. They're all stupid, none of them are really more stupid than the rest, some of them can be useful for getting cheap food though so it's good to know when they are (like Jan 23 is National Pie Day, good day to hit your favorite pie place).
And the bad news is Maya Angelou would get taught as literature even without BHM. All the wrong people (the literati) love her crap. But that's really a whole other ball of spew.
Maybe you're stupid equating Black History Month with Mother's Day?
Maybe when your mother is young, it seems stupid but when she's in her 80s like my mom is, maybe it will be cause for one more plane trip to go spend some time with her. It is for me.
So you can't be nice to your mom on days not Mother's Day? Meanwhile it became so commercialized that the woman whose push made it happen got tired of it. And it spawned all the other days, and weeks, and months. It created the commemoration industry. We probably wouldn't even have BHM if there hadn't been Mother's Day. So yeah they're equated alright.

Confused- odd/even pant sizes???

I tried to search but didn't get an answer. How do odd/even jean sizes work?
For instance. I have a pair of 6's, a pair of 5's and a pair of 5/6's...I was told they are all the same and that odds are for juniors and evens are 'womens'. However they do NOT fit me the same. The 6's are big, the 5's are TIIIIGHT and the 5/6's are comfy.
So is there a trick to how to read jeans lol?! I'm trying to pick a jean size goal but I don't have THAT much to lose. I originally aimed for a 6, but they all fit great and I'm flabby now. My 5's are REALLY tight, but I was going to say 4 as a goal because I'm confused about the 5 vs 6 thing....
Odds for juniors, evens for misses. Your fitting issues make sense. Juniors tend to be less hippy as they are still going through puberty. Therefore, if you have a women's shape, the 5's will be tighter, the 6's will be looser and the 5/6's should be somewhere in between.

'Up All Night' Recap: 'Working Late and Working It'
When we last caught up with the Brinkleys, they were preoccupied with maintaining their coolness. On this week's "Up All Night," Chris starts to wonder where sexy went and tries to persuade Reagan to bring it back.
The latest episode centers around what seems to be an indisputable fact of family life: babies are tiny, evil sex vampires. Just like cats steal your breath, babies sap your will to do the nasty. Chris begins to realize this when he makes Reagan a romantic dinner (gnocchi - nature's most powerful aphrodisiac), which fails to get her in the mood but succeeds in getting her to shed her work clothes. Unfortunately, as has become the norm, she slips into the much too comfortable "charity walk sweatpants" that just don't do it for Chris.
When new parents inevitably hit this kind of sexy plateau, the responsibility for keeping things hot always seems to fall on the woman. I'm not trying to make a feminist statement here; it's just the way things usually are. Perhaps it's because men are more visual that they not only like their wives and girlfriends to want sex but to also look like they want sex. Or perhaps it's that a lot of men don't see themselves as sexy beings or know how to present themselves in a sexy (not cheesy) way. So, the guy who's whining about his wife wearing ice cream-stained pajama pants every night is often the same unshaven guy playing video games in a wife-beater and nasty gym shorts. Well, "Up All Night" takes a jab at that "double standard" in a sly way. Chris wants Reagan to dress sexier, but while she never asks the same from him, he is the one who is sort of "objectified" through most of the episode. (And I have no complaints there.)
Being a nice guy (a part Will Arnett plays beautifully despite its placement well outside of his creepy dickhead wheelhouse), Chris doesn't want to come right out and complain about his wife's newfound frumpiness, so he seeks the advice of mellow fellow dad Reed (SNL's Will Forte). Reed, the previously unseen surfer dude Chris befriended in the pilot, occasionally spouts Spanish and uses terms like "shame spiral," which is all it really takes to be deemed "a good dude" (and super-cool) in Chris's eyes.
Reed encourages Chris to lead by example if he ever hopes to escape "sweatpants purgatory"—specifically, swap out his oversized tee for a form-fitting deep-vee and his smiley-face boxers for Swedish briefs made by Bjorn Borg. On a lesser show (like, oh, let's say "Two and a Half Men"), the scene where Chris and Reed stand in the living room assessing each other's bodies and high-fiving with their pants around their ankles would be just another lame set-up for a gay joke. But here, with Forte playing the genuine and kind teacher to Arnett's earnest but clueless student, the emotions are just right, saving the show from being plunged into the dark sitcom cliché abyss. (Like the guy wearing the $3,000 undies is gonna go dive into an abyss. Come on!)
While Chris is cooking up spicy ideas at home, Reagan is having a terrible day at work. When Ava discovers that her ex-fiancé, former boy-bander B-Ro (The Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone), is getting married, she goes on a studio-trashing rampage before focusing her anger on Reagan, whom she blames for their breakup. As it turns out, Ava and B-Ro had a dysfunctional Bobby and Whitney-style relationship, filled with the highest highs (a hit duet, "Basically," a hilarious Color Me Badd-ish ode to sexual settling) and lowest lows (lots of cheating and several well-publicized sidewalk scuffles), but Ava still ignores Reagan's insistence that B-Ro was all wrong for her.
Reagan returns home to find Chris (who's forgotten part two of Reed's plan: "keep the body tight and the message subtle"), bending over (and over) in his tight jeans and using baby Amy as a bicep-building tool. She quickly figures out what her husband is getting at and the two have an uncomfortable conversation that ends in Reagan giving Chris the dreaded "pray hands" and disappearing to the bedroom to mull over Chris's "helpful advice."
The next day, Reagan strides into the kitchen in an evening gown, sarcastically announcing, "It feels so good to be fancy first thing in the morning." This is where the story falls a little flat for me, as Reagan's response isn't really that funny or relevant to the argument. There's a big difference between fancy and sexy, and Reagan must understand which one Chris wants her to be. Since we already got a Kelly Bundy flashback (within an Ava/B-Ro flashback), perhaps the better make-Chris-uncomfortable move would have been to give the hair a good teasing and go into full-on hypersexual slut mode? I can't stop wondering if Will Arnett has ever gone through this with his real-life wife, Amy Poehler, and how she would have reacted. (WWAD?) Mainly because I spend an unhealthy amount of time wondering what it would be like to live with those two. I'm really not sure who I have the bigger crush on. Oh, to live in a world where Amy, Will and I are all swingers (or Mormons, I guess) and they know that I exist. Aaannnywaaay...
Ava helps wrap up both stories by 1) meeting up with B-Ro to discover that he hasn't changed at all and 2) hooking Reagan up with a sexy red thong. Although I generally like Maya Rudolph, I haven't been sold on the character of Ava until now. I'm not sure I love her yet, but I do like her. When she can distance herself from the hot mess that is her own life, she is a great friend to Reagan, and like any talk show host worth her salt, dishes out some sage advice. In this case, it's that Chris is "one of the good ones." That much is obvious, but Chris drives that point home with a sweet slideshow of how his life would suck without Reagan. My guess? They have sex after it fades to black.
Grade: B
Random Thoughts:
* There were a lot more laugh-out-loud moments last week, but we got Will Arnett out of his pants this time around, so you know, it's all good.
* Making young Reagan look like Kelly Bundy was a great sight gag. I can only hope that Chris pulls out some old polaroids of his days as a magician.
* I hope they don't start to lean too heavily on them, but so far I'm loving all of the random late-'80s and '90s references. The Lisa Stansfield mention cracked me up, but I'm sure it won't be funny two weeks from now when I still have "All Around the World" stuck in my head.
* The Brothers Solomon reunited! And cheers to you two other people who saw that movie!
* If a man sent me a flower arrangement shaped like a dog with a card that read, "I Woof You," I would never fight with him and I'd pretty much wear anything he wanted me to wear. Seriously.
* The lyrics to "Basically" are pretty fantastic. Check out the video here:

Will be intersting if Fisker considers building this Atlantic Coupe.
This is my entry for Carspyshots.net Photoshop Contest 14. Initially I wanted to do a RS5 Shooting Brake. It ended up looking more like a 2-door fast back. And so I tried to make it look like the Coupe GT and Coupe.

Are the kits easy to use?
The eight-page zipper repair manual contained in each kit has detailed step-by-step instructions along with illustrations. Replacing a slider on a jacket takes about five minutes and is done at the top of the zipper. Replacing a slider on a tent also takes about five minutes and is done at the bottom of the zipper.
My slider fell off the bottom of my jacket. Will your kit repair this?
If the box or pin on the bottom of a jacket are damaged, they cannot be repaired. The entire zipper needs to be replaced. Please call ZRK at (541) 482-5020 to order your replacement zippers.
What if I need help?
We have a zipper help line (1-541-482-5020) for those customers needing additional parts or extra repair advice. In addition to replacement parts for our kits, ZRK has a large variety of hard-to-find sliders on hand for nearly every zipper alive.
Questions? Call (541) 482-5020 OR Email ZRK Enterprises
