No Gay Rights At NYC Rite Aid
Rite Aid simply ain't right. A reader sent in this image from one of the pharmacy's New York City locations (on Sixth Avenue at West 13th Street) and, as you can see, it's not the most welcoming message.
This isn't the first time Rite-Aid has found itself in a queer controversy. A DC-based manager came under fire last year after booting an "overly affectionate" gay couple.
The best part of this sign, we think, is mention of "anything that would make our customers uncomfortable is prohibited in the store." We suppose manager Tom Marquez didn't consider the gay customers in that one, huh? Someone else must have, because the sign, which appeared around 7am on Sunday, was soon removed…
And, just for your reference, here are Rite Aid's corporate numbers and the number for Mr. Marquez's location: 212-727-3720. Do with that what you will…
Update: Rite Aid insists that the alleged manager doesn't work there and the sign was of their making.
Update again! The original reader just wrote in and said not only were there four signs at the Rite Aid in question, but offers this queer detail: …"When I called yesterday to complain the woman at the Rite Aid told me that Tom Marquez wasn't the store manager but the manager for the whole area. so I don't think it's a phony name…I think he's definitely a real person. In the audio link the store employee doesn't say she doesn't know who Tom is, she only says he doesn't work in that store. He's probably regional management, but maybe someone put it up and just used his name."
Final Update (We Hope!) A concerned and peppy Rite Aid spokeswoman just gave us a call to inform us that neither Tom Marquez nor any other Rite Aid employee had anything to do with the lamentable sign. She also told us that the sign's message "doesn't represent the views of Rite Aid or their employees." The police have been contacted and they're trying to track down the culprit, who Rite Aid hopes will be prosecuted to "the fullest extent of the law" for this "vandalism." The spokeswoman also used the word "appalled" to describe her and her peers' feelings about the alleged homophobia. Thanks for the clarification, Rite Aid!
That's almost comically awful. If I was in New York, I would definitely be making as many complaints as I could …
This is so screwed up…I don't even know where to begin…
This is in Chelsea? Unbelievable.
A same-sex make out flash mob at this location seems appropriate.
"A same-sex make out flash mob at this location seems appropriate."
Yes, and GLBT couples should go in regularly and kiss on the checkout line. RiteAid can keep throwing couples out, but they keep coming back and making out.
I already dropped a note to RiteAid's Board (pointing out the sign's spelling errors too, naturally). This is not quite Chelsea (Chelsea runs 14th Street and up), but it's certainly the West Village and is, oh, a block away from NYC's Gay Center [ah, the irony…..]. I believe I may drop by to meet Mr. Marquez today…..
Call the store and complain – or use the contact info at RiteAid.com to file a complaint. This is incredibly ignorant.
And, continuing with the irony here, here's what it says at the top of the Rite-Aid contact webpage:
"Rite Aid is a place where customers are treated with respect and they feel appreciated and welcome."
Cough. Hack.
If you call, you will need the zip code which is 10011. I hope they get bombarded by calls.
What a douchebag. Shitty store, shitty service and a shitty manager.
I love when people write "should" and "would seem appropriate." If you want a frigging kiss-in, ORGANIZE ONE.
Yes, Darth Paul, I agree, I'm all for a kiss-in. We should organize a kissing protest. Fuck them.
Friday July 11, 7 pm works for me.
I think it's time for us all to descend upon this Rite Aid by the hundreds to hold hands, hug and kiss in the isles. It's time for a good old fashioned hug-in protest.
Come on boys and girls. Let's get off our asses and do it.
ok..Friday July 11th, 7pm..
Kiss in. I'm there.
I just posted this at the Rite Aid website. If you do the same, their zip code is 10011.
I was a loyal customer and shopped frequently at the Rite Aid store at 13th street and 6th avenue in Manhattan. Thanks to the actions of Tom Marquez your store manager I will no longer do any shopping at your store. I maintain a business around the corner and will persuade my employees and friends to do the same. Tom Marquez anti gay discrimination is a horrendous mistake and will do more harm than good to your company. It's a shame since I preferred Rite Aid to Duane Reade and CVS, but now they will be getting my hard earned money rather than your bigoted stores. It's a real shame that you allow this behavior to ruin your formerly good name.
I created a FaceBook Event for a July 11, 7 pm Kiss-in.
Not sure if this link will work on Queerty, if not search for "Rite Aid Kiss In" or look on the board of the group "One Million Strong for Marriage Equality" which I posted it. RSVP please, anyone can attend.
lets do it july 11 @ 7 PM!
This cannot be legit. In the West Village? No freaking way.
Has anyone written the Mayor's Office and the Corporation Counsel's Office?
NYC Admin Code is clear that they cannot discriminate this way. They can likely post the sign, but I am sure they'd violate the regulation if they kicked gays out for showing affection.
New York City Administrative Code –
Title 8
Civil Rights
§ 8–101 Policy. In the city of New York, with its great cosmopolitan population, there is no greater danger to the health, morals, safety and welfare of the city and its inhabitants than the existence of groups prejudiced against one another and antagonistic to each other because of their actual or perceived differences, including those based on race, color, creed, age, national origin, alienage or citizenship status, gender, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, status as a victim of domestic violence or status as a victim of sex offenses or stalking, whether children are, may be or would be residing with a person or conviction or arrest record. The council hereby finds and declares that prejudice, intolerance, bigotry, and discrimination, bias-related violence or harassment and disorder occasioned thereby threaten the rights and proper privileges of its inhabitants and menace the institutions and foundation of a free democratic state. A city agency is hereby created with power to eliminate and prevent discrimination from playing any role in actions relating to employment, public accommodations, and housing and other real estate, and to take other actions against prejudice, intolerance, bigotry, discrimination and bias-related violence or harassment as herein provided; and the commission established hereunder is hereby given general jurisdiction and power for such purposes.
Check this out. Someone called the store and posted the call online. The employee said that sign was not outside the store and "Tom" is not the manager.
well, i owe rite aid an apology if it was a prank, but i called corporate and raised dignified hell.
I phone the store twice and spoke with Isha. When I asked for Marquez, I would be put on hold..hold..hold and more hold. I know that game.
I phoned back and Isha told me it was her first day there, and she knew nothing about the letter and did not know who Tom Marquez might be.
I called the corporate office. Spoke with a gal named Jackie (obviously after me) and she was a bit baffled by it. I could tell in her voice that she was really taken aback. Anyway, I sent her to the Queerty site so she could see for herself.
I love the thought of doing a major kiss in there.
I will be there 7/11 @ 7pm. Doing my best to post this on every medium available. Damn Shame!!
I called a pharmacist, figuring they would be the least willing to bullshit. I said I was returning a call from Mr. Marquez. The pharmacist said "Oh okay" and put me on hold and then came back and asked who I was. I said my name, then she came back and said he wasn't available. I said, "I called the correct Rite Aid, right?" She replied, "Yes."
I also called the public relations department who informed me that they are aware of the situation, and handling it.
That Rite Aid location doesn't open until 9am on Sundays, so if the sign(s) "appeared around 7am on Sunday", that seems a bit fishy.
If in fact this is legit, and if in fact there is going to be a kiss-in, a gay couple and a straight couple should propose marriage during the event.
I am hard pressed to believe a store manager would post such a sign without corporate approval, which they would never get. A more likely situation is that someone at that store expressed this opinion and the targeted party made up the sign to "get them." Vigilante justice… and a protest organized before all the facts are available? For shame. I guess knee-jerk reactions happen all over.
One more thing, witness that the sign is taped from the OUTSIDE. Which means anyone could have done it. And with strapping tape, no less. If you worked at a store with big picture windows, would you use a hard-to-clean adhesive on them? I'm all for standing up for our civil rights, but perhaps we should be using the "little grey cells."
Uh, did you know that the word "gullible" is not in the dictionary? This whole thing is an obvious fake.
Why is the flier taped from the outside of the window on the sidewalk side rather than from the inside? Would someone in authority at a store in THE VILLAGE really post this and put his name on it?
Someone has some grudge directed at that manager — who may not even work at that particular store — or against Rite Aid. Either way, it's bogus. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
In unrelated news, it was just announced that Jesse Helms is going to be buried in a right-wing plot.
Granted there may have been a rush to judgment by some, including myself.
I'd say however, wholesale dismissal of this as "nothing to see here" seems equally rash and naive. The facts will reveal themselves, eventually.
I'm staying tuned. I'm curious how (if?) Rite Aid will respond.
whut clark said. it should prove interesting to see how rite aid responds. at least they know we are out here and we are as vocal as the wingnuts. i will now call and convey my regrets about the misunderstanding.
It doesn't sound fake so far. If so, the store would have come back with a more articulate answer by now. It sounds like they are scrambling. Why pretend he doesn't work there if there is nothing to hide?
didn't even have to make the call, they had already called me and left a number. i called and left a message of apology.
Well, we know this wouldn't happen in Duane Reade. Their employees are so lethargic and slow they wouldn't have the energy to put up a sign.
SPEED DIAL Lambda Legal, any store which posts ONLY same sex kissing, hugging, touching, and makes no mention of opposite sex kissing, hugging, and touching…is illegal discrimination of public accomadation.
KER-CHING….Rite Aid just made a VERY COSTLY mistake, and if this would lead to National boycott, they are going to dry up and die.
Received this letter today after emailing the CFO and CEO of Rite Aid…
My name is Ashley Flower and I work in the media relations department at Rite Aid. I was asked to respond to your email.
Our findings show that no Rite Aid associate, including the one identified posted these signs. We are appalled that anyone would post these signs outside of our stores, and they were removed as soon as store managers became aware of them.
They certainly do not represent the view of Rite Aid nor the associate identified.
I want you to know that we've notified the local authorities on this act of vandalism and are offering out full support and cooperation so that the individuals responsible for this act of intolerance can be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Again, we're taking this matter very seriously. One of our core values is to be a place where all customers and associates are treated with respect and dignity, where they feel appreciated and welcome.
I hope I've answered all of your questions, but if I haven't please don't hesitate to give me a call—my information is below.

Bullshiiiiiit! as luck would have it I happen to be visiting some family in NYC and decided to stop by the Rite Aid being discussed here. And the manager is indeed guess what!, a black man with a somewhat distinctively Spanish speaking accent that would explain his surname.
The store needles to say is largely run by ethnic minorities. Now anyone who has been to that store knows that there is no way in hell that someone who's not working there could've posted such vitriol on the windows since they have a security man there who monitors everything through a screen.
As a side note after visiting the Rite Aid I decided to walk some more through the neighborhood and to my joyful surprise started hearing what I thought seemed like an organized protest in front of the Jamaican owned GOLDEN KRUST but as I rushed in a hurry to cheer them on and possibly join them I was disillusioned to find out that it was not in front of the repulsive restaurant but in front of the Painters and Allied Traders district council 9 of NY building. Honestly whats becoming of what was once TERRA FIRMA for Gay people. Soon we will be getting stoned and mobbed by Jamaicans and African Americans in the West Village! What a shame.
As if there aren't enough reasons to boycott RiteAid – I mean there's the monopolizing of neighborhoods, driving up the cost of commercial space, driving out small business owners, and sub-par service that often comes with a scowl, and now disdain for LGBT customers. I can't say I am surprised.
Dan Manjovi
I just called the 800 customer service number to lodge a complaint. The agent told me that none of the store's employees or managers posted the sign – that it was done by someone unaffiliated with the store and that they've reported it to the police.
My guess is that this "Tom" is just denying it now that he's in hot water.
Churchill-Y, your post reeks of racism, ironic in that you're all upset about possible homophobia.
As, Ms. Lopez might say, Get Right.
Soon we will find ourselves in the same situation even in the village:
Of course this letter is fake…its obvious. Even if it was real and was expressed by that one manager, no one can believe that Rite Aid is going to have a company policy like this.
But more importantly, why are we getting so fired up over this story when there are only a few comments on the story about Fred Barnes encouraging McCain and the Republicans to demonize the gays again to beat Obama? Are we so desensitized to Republican hatemongering that we let it go unchalleneged?
Ask yourselves, what does more harm: this stupid prank letter or the real threat created by a nationwide campaign of scapegoating gays?
Has anyone called Fox News or wherever that scumbag Barnes works to complain about his despicable tactic?
Focus people.
Of course you're right. The difference in my mind being, that Fred Barnes, Faux News and the GOP capaign tactic hit machine is a lost cause.
All the complaining and letter writing in the world won't convince those 3 to abandon those tactics so long as they work. So rather than focus on THEM, focus on coming out to your friends, family and co-workers so they realize the rhetoric these hate-mongers peddle is undeserved and should be rejected.
the rite aid by my apartment on 14th Street employs the SLOWEST clerks in the the city. No, really, it's painful checking out there. I think I'll go over there now and blow someone in the shampoo aisle..
If I saw that flimsy note I'd rip it down.
There's truth to CHURCHILL-Y's comments- blacks and latinos are amongst the most homophobic(and f*ng lazy employees). I certainly hate it when they take over communities: it's all downhill from there.
For God's sake, if you don't like Rite Aid's policies, take your business elsewhere. Walgreen's is likely right around the corner…….. Besides, I agree with the sign. Why would anyone need to kiss and hug in a Rite Aid anyway????? Take your damned PDAs and go elsewhere……… If you can't keep your hands off your partner's ass for 5 mintues, then you have issues. Here we go again, gays need therapy. Period.
Wait Girls,
Wait girls,
Did Churchychicken just say she was in NYC? hahahaha Since when the low class Blue collar worker that she calls herself and claiming that Hillary is in her corner, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH can visit the Big Apple?
How did you get to NYC girl Greyhound, Trailways, or hitch hiking? It suits your liking.
Now this bitch sees a dark skinned Man and out of her mouth spews venon where it said the guys last name was hispanic (Not that it matters).
What the FUCK do you know about the West Village Churchychicken your kind isn't welcomed there?
By the way BITCH All LGBT lives and congregate there
This isn't Hickory Stick Kentucky where you live.
DUMB ASS Your Mother should be BITCH Slapped for even having you! Now everyone if the manager was White she would have paid it no mind. She sees dark skin, or at least claim to seen the person and her pimpled pussy gets all up in a twizzy.
There is no TRUTH to Churchychicken's comments queen. You're just as stupid and hateful as your suster is!
I have no love for Corporate America, but this is obviously fake. At my local CVS pharmacy, I asked to put up a sign about a local charity event. One of the employees gave permission – and it was down before I left the store after getting my Rx. (thanks to my corporate health plan, can't go to the independent pharmacy) No signs of any kind are allowed other than what is approved by corporate headquarters. And as already pointed out, it was taped up from the outside with tacky shipping tape? Someone had a grudge against Tom Marquez.
Oh, and Miss Understood – I usually like your posts but maybe the telephone thing was because he got 5000 protest calls and he does have work to do…….
Well Bleepers, if you hate when blacks and latinos take over communities, you're just gonna really hate it when Obama takes over the most powerful community in the world…the entire United States!
I guess you and the rest of your ignorant and pathetic racist friends can just simmer in your hate and think about the good ol' days.
What a loser.
Whoa, this dialog has really deteriorated. Let's all get along.
Did anyone notice the "prankster" spelled management as "managment" – that's usually a tipoff that it is an idiot….
Re; John #55 – Given the caliber of people they hire as managers, I wouldn't put it past a Rite-Aid Manager to misspell "management"! :-)
And speaking of caliber – Mr. C, you sound as hateful as you say Churchychicken is. When you say things like "your kind ain't welcome here", that smells from discrimination. Keep your street level vitriol to yourself, and come back out when you're ready to play nicely.
MS, you single out Mr. C and say nothing to churchbitch? Its hypocritical and you are no better than what you condemn. So Fuck You. I don't play nice either.
I always play nicely and KEEPS IT REAL!
And if you can't deal with that sweetie.
It's both sad and scary to realize that gays fall for such obvious hoaxes. Now tell me: WHO has the phobia? This sure does make the gay community look like a bunch of stupid neanderthals. And bigoted, too. Notice the elitist comments about the store's minority workers, all members of Local 1199/SEIU I might add?
This is the answer I received after I complained to Rite-Aid via their website….
Let me assure you that were taking this matter very seriously. These signs
absolutely do not represent the view of Rite Aid nor the associate
identified. One of our core values is to be a place where all customers and
associates are treated with respect and dignity, where they feel appreciated
and welcome.
We are conducting an investigation regarding this matter as our findings
show that these signs were not posted by any current Rite Aid associates as
indicated. As soon as the signs were noticed, they were immediately removed.
We've notified the local authorities on this act of vandalism and are
offering our full support and cooperation so that the individuals
responsible for this act of intolerance can be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law.
Customer Support
Which cheeks are you going to kiss? Attention whores! How would you feel if heterosexuals came on your property and starting kissing? Do you ever use your brains or just your genitalia? You make yourselves look bad with your ignorance.
Rite Aid on 9th ave and 22nd st. "lost" me and my husband's wedding photos, and offered no help to try find them or offer us an apology. The manager just said she didn't know what happened. There were other people's pictures spread out all over the place. Clearly they look through people's things, and clearly they threw ours out.
This is the Internet, so I shouldn't be surprised that this OBVIOUSLY FAKE sign — similar in tone and grammar to a recent racist "letter from management" taped outside a McDonald's location in New York — has fooled so many people. Again, let me reiterate that this is CLEARLY fake. The misspelling, the poor grammar, the shoddy tape job. People (including reporters from Queerty) really need to stop believing the wrong 50% of what they see.
I am not a huge fan of corporate companies (killing the ma & pa shops) but clearly this is a hoax. Maybe consider a new title for this post?
Think about it. Anyone for ANY REASON can do that to any store anywhere! Its just a piece of paper taped to the store.
The sign in question appeared four years ago on the outside of one of our stores. We immediately investigated, and found that no Rite Aid associate, including the one identified, posted the sign. We were appalled that anyone would post a sign like this outside our store, and it was removed as soon as store manager became aware of it. This sign certainly does not represent the view of Rite Aid nor the associate identified. We notified the local authorities on this act of vandalism and offered our full support and cooperation. Again, we took this matter very seriously. One of our core values is to be a place where all customers and associates are treated with respect and dignity, where they feel appreciated and welcome.

|Aliaron you nailed it! I am so sick of it.
|Jun 18 2009, 11:03 AM Post #42
Not only is EJ being "pimped," Sami gets her tiara at the funeral for being such a good Brady girl and keeping the "evil/disgusting" EJ away from Grace.
It's not a funeral...its a coronation!
BTW..Will thinks his mom made the right choice by keeping the secret from EJ and Nicole (he says it today.) What I dont get is why Will's all hating Nicole and barely says anything about EJ?
|Jun 18 2009, 11:24 AM Post #43
Nicole is only helping Sami because she knows if the switch never happened, Sami's baby would be alive and Ejole would be the ones grieving over Mia's baby. Nicole already has one of Sami's kids, she doesn't want all of them.
As for Will...at first I was saying WTF. When they first brought him back on screen when Lucas was in the hospital, he still had beef with the whole EJ situation. But, with EJ suing for custody and Will knowing he'll probably get it, of course he's gonna blow sunshine up EJ's ass so he can still be close with his lil bro. After all he was babysitting with Mia a majority of the time. Plus he's still pissed at Sami for keeping this secret from him.

I think I might love you.
|Jun 18 2009, 11:48 AM Post #45
|Have Sami and Stephanie even ever been in the same scene before this? It would've been nice if they'd crossed paths a bit, and Stephanie had been shown to have a relationship with Sami and Johnny. We're supposed to assume they care about each other, but they're not a part of each other's lives at all, so it's going to be hard to buy the guilt Stephanie should feel over this.
|Jun 18 2009, 11:59 AM Post #46
I don't know, but since they are related it's not that far fetched, IMO. I haven't seen my cousin in 15 years but I cared when I heard about her custody disputes with her kids.
|Jun 18 2009, 12:41 PM Post #47
I'm not saying she shouldn't care, but since this is probably going to factor in her breaking off her engagement, I would've liked to see them having a strong enough bond for her to really be torn up over it all, beyond caring in the more abstract way about people they love, but don't know. If that makes any sense.
Edited by six, Jun 18 2009, 12:42 PM.
|Jun 18 2009, 12:59 PM Post #48
I don't disagree with you, but I think Stephanie's motivation has a lot more to do with hating EJ than some family bond with Sami. He's the reason she got stuck in a morgue drawer for some indeterminate period by some creepy guy who had a scary crush on her and was trying to abduct her and who knows what all else. That to me is their bond: Sami and Stephanie both hate EJ. I know you're an EJami fan so you may (or may not) feel Sami's hatred of EJ is temporary or not really hate or whatever, but the fact remains that they're both furious with him and want revenge. If Stephanie can help out her family at the same time as she's getting revenge, great, not to mention which, even though her scenes bore me, I think she didn't want to lie to the cops in the first place.
|Jun 18 2009, 03:34 PM Post #49
|I didn't think about mutual loathing bringing Steph and Sami together (you're right about me being an ejami fan, but I support feelings during their upcoming custody issue). Missing out on a chance to send EJ to prison driving Stephanie's decision to leave Philip works better for me, than guilt over letting Sami down.
|Jun 18 2009, 03:48 PM Post #50
After all... tomorrow is another day!
So have any of y'all who spent the last few pages of this thread posting totally enraged about the writers for what they are doing to Will for the sake of EJ's alleged "pimping" actually bothered to read Prevuze today and want to maybe dial that back a bit?
|Jun 18 2009, 04:02 PM Post #51
Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.
Yep...and from what I got from Prevuze it certainly sounds like the Bradys and FOBs are doling out a heaping pile of hate and condemnation on EJ.
I found it to be pretty classless. Sami and EJ - I get where they are coming from and I fully expect them to be hateful toward one another - but it would seem to me the Bradys and everyone else should be dialing back the DiMera skewering considering they are at the funeral of his daughter. Like him or not...it's just not the time or the place. :redface:
|Nicole Walker
|Jun 18 2009, 04:44 PM Post #52
|I am so glad that Will is acting the way I thought he should so maybe this crap about siding with EJ is an act. Who knows? Maybe Will could help Sami get JOhnny back.
|Jun 18 2009, 07:06 PM Post #53
You know I read Prevuze and while I agree that will is another apologist of Sami's, it was speculation based on a spoiler and it was perfectly in the right to believe that Will would have sided with EJ.
I dont ask you to "dial it back" when you make speculations about Ej and his "supposed" love for Sami. I think we all can post without "dailing back" our opinions of spoilers.
|Jun 18 2009, 07:10 PM Post #54
I agree!
I'm so sick of the Bradys and their self-righteousness. I can't even believe not ONE of them will tell EJ sorry for the LOSS of your daughter!
And Roman...throw away your fuckin badge because NONE of you use it correctly. You only use it when DiMeras or non-FOBs are breaking the law.
|Jun 18 2009, 07:55 PM Post #55
i see both sides. i think it's problematic that will seems to have totally forgotten about what ej has done to his family, but on the other hand, i think it's unbelievable that everyone in town is siding with sami and making her out to be the victim without anyone ever once questioning the fact that she had to have sex with ej to concieve grace in the first place.
so the whole storyline is screwed up no matter how you look at it.
|Jun 18 2009, 09:10 PM Post #56
They're probably all afraid he's going to hire someone to put them in a morgue drawer.
I wouldn't express my condolences to his perpetual scowl and constant whining either. I would agree if he just looked completely torn apart by this loss, but he doesn't. He looks pissed, full of his own awesomeness, and like he just can't believe that this underling would dare defy him.
|Jun 18 2009, 09:30 PM Post #57
After all... tomorrow is another day!
I simply asked an open question of anyone who thought the writers were contorting Will to pimp EJ if they still thought the show was doing so after reading the way things are described in Prevuze (as I think the Prevuze quotes put that idea to rest) and maybe wanted to rethink things or weren't so mad after all i.e. maybe dial that (that being the rage at the writers) back a bit.
Yeah, I asked this question in a perhaps bitchy and/or snarky sort of way, but that's hardly a new development with my posts and I think judging by the first couple of responses other people got what I'm saying.
If you took my post as some sort of specific attack or attempt to stifle you that is not how the post was intended. I have no desire to see yet another thread deteriorate into fanbase fighting shit, especially when my post was actually defending THE WRITERS from what I thought was unfair criticism of how they are writing the Will character and not even really having anything to do with EJ or EJami.
I am genuinely curious though if you and/or others still believe the show is still "pimping" EJ and/or EJami based on what goes down at this funeral.
Because that is not my impression AT ALL (which I will elaborate upon tomorrow in the weekly discussion thread after the Friday epi airs).
|Jun 18 2009, 09:50 PM Post #58
Even taking into account the day ahead--and I too have seen the funeral scenes from tomorrow's show--we haven't yet seen the scenes that were previewed in this article. According to the summary:
We haven't yet seen Will react to the service of the papers nor him calling Sami a terrible parent and "side" with EJ, which is how I would describe him saying he understands why EJ is doing this. Thus, while I agree that Will is critical of EJ in tomorrow's show, there seems to be a shift in his opinion or at least he does not appear to be acting consistently with his prior comment. Which heaven knows is no surprise with these writers, who can't remember what happens from one minute to the next. But, those who are complaining about Will's relationship with EJ being rewritten aren't necessarily wrong simply based on Will's comment from tomorrow's show.
|Jun 18 2009, 09:58 PM Post #59
After all... tomorrow is another day!
That is a good point. I guess we shall see for sure when we get that scene, probably in tomorrow's prevuze/Canada show.
|Jun 18 2009, 10:01 PM Post #60
The way you expressed yourself in your message here, I wouldnt of thought of replying to your post. I dont know you, so I dont assume to read your intentions other then what you wrote and frankly, it didnt say "hey, I think if you read PREVUZE, the writers actually have Will defending Sami..." IMO, your post didnt come out that way.
I personally believe EJAMI is dead and was never a couple, but I also have been watching soaps for a LONG time! Any DAYS writer can retcon anything and POOF we have Sami denying/ignoring she said EJ's evil and would keep Grace from him again....just like EJ's insta-forgiveness of the rape by Sami.
As for EJ's current situation. Sure I see some "pimping." He's cast as the "evil guy who has a heart." So we can sympathize...but not too much because he's "evil," so that justifies Sami doing what she did to EJ. Do I think he's getting the short end of the stick? SURE, but everyone whose in Sami's SL always do. Ultimately, everyone smells like shit and Sami smells like a rose.
As to the Will spoiler. I can't speak for anyone, but this is the ONE character whose hatred of EJ was known even to speculation that he actually shot him. So when I read that he's basically in EJ's side, then I'm going to get pissed and question it.

A few months ago, I made these delicious cookie dough bites, and was craving them in a bad way last week. I didn't have any coconut butter (homemade recipe) on hand, and to be honest was too lazy to make some. I was, however, in the process of making my little one some cookies. While I was preparing the dough, I stuck a spoon in and popped some in my mouth. I am so glad I did because this is how the cookie dough squares were born, and I didn't even have to make coconut butter. I baked one batch and while they were baking, I placed another batch in the freezer to make squares.
If I had to choose, I throughly enjoy the raw dough better. I find the baked version has a much stronger almond taste which is nice, but I prefer the less subtle almond taste in the raw dough.
These squares are most definitely going to make my holiday menu!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Squares
- 3 cups of almond flour, homemade recipe here
- 1/4 cup plus 1Tbsp of coconut oil
- 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp of liquid sweetener (honey, agave, maple syrup, or coconut syrup)
- 1 cup of vegan chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp of vanilla flavor
- salt to taste
- Combine all the ingredients expect the chocolate chips in a mixing bowl and incorporate well. I used my hands.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
- Take the dough and press it down into a 9×9 glass pan.
- Put in the freezer until firm, and cute into squares.
- Place in the fridge for storage.
- If you leave them out of the fridge too long they become soft and gooey

Mr. Spaetzle and the "Coffee Intolerant!" slap on the back?
Hardly seems worthy of a long probation. Wait… what else did Caulfield do?
A better question might be, what wouldn't Caulfield do? I love, love, love Caulfield, I believe he is one of the great characters in American Literature, perhaps even surpassing his namesake. I also love Frazz the Fabulous Renaissance Man, and all the rest, even Mrs. What'shername (brain freeze), Caulfield's bete noire — or is he hers? Hmm. Thank you, Jef Mallett, you hand me laughs, things to think about, and the occasional "Oh, NOW I get it!" later moment. Please keep doing it.
I love this comic strip, but am I the only one who thinks it's odd in general that a little kid hangs out with his adult school janitor during school, weekends, and they even get together over the summer for what seem like planned outings?
There are such a thing as inter-generational friendships. Also you have two people who march to their own drummers.
Frazz is the best teacher in that school, that's why the kids come to him. I knew a janitor like that once. He was ABT but couldn't be a faculty member because of cerebrial palsy. Still, he could explain concepts better than the professors, so he was the go-to in case of problems.
No April Fools prank is worthwhile unless one ends up doing time.
Why do people think Frazz is such a good guy? He has the kids' best interests at heart, sure, but he can be a real jerk. He's smug, pedantic, and self-righteous. He lacks empathy. He's a show-off and a know-it-all. If the kids learn anything from him, it's that proving you know things that others don't is the most important thing you can do.
Good gag, RSR. But it's the same kinda stereotyping humor that Frazz trades in most days. Fat jocks who play ball sports are dumb; overweight people are weaklings; smokers suffering in their attempts to quit should be mocked; anone who is not Frazz should be talked down to. Why pick off these easy targets day in and day out? He's (often) a mean guy and I've been surprised to find that no one else thinks so.
I, too, was friends with my elementary school principal for many years after my school career, and as an adult, I was on a first-name basis with him. RIP Eli Barkan (1931-2005). At age 70, he could still run 20yo guys off the basketball court! There was also a tribute baseball tournament named after him: http://www.hardball.net/elibarkanchallenge2008.htm
No ifs, ands or butts; my fresh avatar?
It was badly kneeded…
I tend to agree with you. The smugness especially is a big reason I only read this occasionally.

On the rare occasion he's had an opening on his Missouri coaching staff, Gary Pinkel has usually made his staff younger. After the 2008 season, he hired Josh Henson, then a 33-year-old assistant at LSU, to coach the offensive line. Also that offseason, he promoted Barry Odom, 32 at the time, from director of football operations to safeties coach. Then, when Odom left after the 2011 season, Pinkel brought in Alex Grinch, who was 31. But when David Yost left the staff in December, Pinkel had one quality in mind when considering candidates.

Spring property season bursts into action
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- August 30, 2013
THE Spring property season is bursting into action this weekend with 1792 auctions scheduled across the country on Saturday.
According to figures from RP Data, there are 777 auctions scheduled across Sydney, while in Melbourne, the country's biggest auction market, there were 830 planned. Brisbane has 130 scheduled while the Gold Coast has an additional 120.
Even more homes are expected to hit the market after the Federal Election on September 7, fuelled by warmer weather, strong recent sales and record low interest rates to create a bumper selling season.
Last week, Melbourne's clearance rate was 76 per cent once all results were counted, according to RP Data, while Sydney was at 75 per cent with agents reporting over reserve results and strong bidding. Time on market is also coming down in most markets: the typical time on market for houses in Sydney is just 29 days, while in Melbourne it is 39 days.
Click on the map and adjust it to see auctions in your area, and then click on individual sites to see details of properties.
According to Tim Lawless, senior research analyst at RP Data, all capital cities have seen a rise in dwelling values, with the average homeowner gaining just under $30,000 in the value of their home.
"The biggest winner was Darwin, where the housing market has recorded growth of more than 13% since bottoming out in January 2012," Mr Lawless said.
"Darwin recorded the most substantial dollar value increase at $56,638, followed by Perth at $50,249 then Sydney at $46,160."
At the other end of the scale are Adelaide and Brisbane where the rate of recovery has been much more subdued with dollar value gains of $4,319 and $7,018 respectively.

It's no secret that the UFC is the home to the top fighters in the world. However, it's not a place that is a lasting home if you cannot win fights.
The UFC has began drastically cutting fighters on their roster ever since the inclusion of the Strikeforce roster and its new women's division. Competitors have been cut left and right if their performances aren't up to par or if they cannot stay out of the loss column.
Let's take a look at the current schedule of fights and see which fighters are likely on the chopping block should they lose their next bout.

The 16th Annual Chatham House conference on climate change will assess what national and international actions must be taken now to manage 21st century climate security challenges. Although disunity remains over how to manage the climate challenge, there is agreement that action is now needed to adapt to the impacts of climate change that can no longer be prevented and to build resilience against the impact of extreme climate events.
The conference will examine the key economic, social and geo-political security threats caused by climate change and debate what national and international responses are required to manage these security challenges.

A small beach with many palm trees, close to town.
Located between Tiririca and Ribeira, Costa Beach has fine, white sand. Access to the beach is easy but there is no infrastructure.
Not many people hang out here because the swimming is considered dangerous, so you will almost always find it deserted!

The season of the terrible movie ideas has just thrown itself WIDE open with the announcement that there will not only be a film version of Robosapien, but also a film based on the life of the Burger King. Yes, that Burger King.
I would like to officially decree that anyone who pays to sit through what will essentially be a two-hour BK commerical deserves to be shot in the face by manatees on the way out of the theater.
Seriously, what's next? The Wal-Mart Smiley Face Movie? Easy Button: The Next Chapter? Grimace: Man Of Purple, Man Of People? These are terrible times, people. We let ourselves get pushed and pushed and we keep going for it until the entertainment we used to treasure is no longer recognizable. DON'T GO to these movies, and maybe, just maybe, they'll get the picture.

For businesses that were penalized by the Google Penguin and Panda updates, much of their suffering could have been easily avoided. Had they taken the time, and or money, to have a comprehensive SEO audit done of their sites, many of the issues that resulted in penalties would have been discovered. In fact, their traffic would likely have increased had they had an audit done early.
Many companies that have seen their rankings fall dramatically are only now hiring agencies to conduct audits to find out why. Yet, this is like having a car inspected after the transmission has fallen out. It would have been more cost effective to have the checkup done before the car seized up. Just as you take your vehicle in for regular checkups to keep it running smooth; it's a good idea to do an audit on a regular basis.
Too many site owners think their sites aren't at risk, not aware that their site has potentially devastating flaws. More importantly, they are content with the number of sales or conversions it produces when simple tweaks could increase their ROI. They have issues that aren't just causing problems with search engines; they could be causing visitors to leave.
Here are some reasons an audit will be profitable:
It could keep you from being penalized
The elements that have caused other sites to lose rankings should be searched for first. This means examining the links that are coming into a site. This alone can be a time consuming process, not just to detect, but to resolve. Your audit will reveal many of the links that are suspect and some of these might be simple to take care of, while others may take more work. If you do receive a notice from Google during this time you can at least tell them you're addressing the issues.
Duplicate content could also be hampering your site. It could be content duplicated on other pages of your site or content that you've taken from the manufacturers of the products you sell. Or maybe the agency that developed the content simply stole it without your knowledge from another site. No matter how it happened, duplicate content could result in pages not ranking for your phrases.
You're going the wrong direction
In addition to looking at why your rankings could fall, an audit will also look at what phrases you should be targeting. This could reveal that the phrases you're currently ranking for aren't necessarily the phrases you should be targeting. This is where using that cheap SEO firm in the past could come back to haunt you. They managed to get your site to rank for phrases, but now you discover that these phrases have no value. An audit will reveal the phrases that have the most potential for sales.
It can make for a better user experience.
The search engines are looking to provide their users the best experience so it's natural that many things that they penalize a site for also result in poor experiences for visitors. Broken links, poor navigation don't just create problems for Google. Your visitor could get lost and in the process leave your site for a competitor. Through an audit you'll look at how to increase conversions with your visitors.
It's About Your Brand
You only get one chance to make a first impression. A site audit is a way to get a fresh perspective on your site. What you and your staff thinks works may not really resonate with visitors. It's that too close to the forest to see the trees thing. Bounce rate is often an indication of your site's success and one of the elements that the search engines might be using more for rankings. In today's age you need to get the attention of visitors right away and hold them.
A SEO Audit provides a road map for your future
A SEO audit will result in you having a better picture of where your site stands and what to be concerned about. It should also serve as a blueprint to what you'll be doing forward. In the review that your consultant will provide once you've received your report, they not only are pointing out your site's failings. Their explaining what should be done. This can serve as the foundation for your new approach, whether you're doing the SEO in-house or having the agency provide the work.
An SEO Audit is expensive undertaking, but think of it as preventive medicine. Without it you could lose money on a daily basis if your site is penalized. And even if your site hasn't been penalized and you're getting a lot of traffic, if they aren't converting into customers you're missing out even more.
If you're concerned about your site and haven't had a site audit done, then now is the time. It's not just that your site could be at risk, it's that you're losing money with the way it currently is. Bring in someone like myself to fully evaluate your site. My customers have benefited dramatically from the site audits I provide and it's a major reason none of them have suffered from any Google penalties.

So I wasn't blogging today because it was a day full of driving and I wasn't sure anyone really wanted to read about that. BUT, my husband said "If you're going to commit to something you have to follow through." He says our "fans" want to hear from us! So... here I am. I didn't even realize we had fans! Hey guys!

The time is approaching quickly, and amidst all the craziness of this month, I almost forgot…
For 24 hours, millions of people around the world do not participate — in the doomsday economy, the marketing mind-games, and the frantic consumer-binge that's become our culture. We pause. We make a small choice not to shop.
This Friday, 26 November 2004, is Buy Nothing Day. To many people, this day is often considered the biggest shopping day of the year. Those in retail call it "Black Friday"".
Here are my entries on BND for 2003 and 2002 (#2). Maybe you'll find some inspiration.
Stepping out of the consumer stream, for even 24 hours, is a fascinating personal experiment. Will you react with Zen-like calm or panic? Will there be withdrawal, anxiety, an epiphany? Can you holdout? Can you remember? People tell of strange and wondrous, mind journeys when they close their wallets, ditch consumer culture and the daily routine.
What I usually do is try to get outside and take a hike out in the woods, far far away from the bustling shopping malls, maddening crowds and frustrating traffic. I highly recommend doing so, it's actually quite therapeutic.
You can also find and participate with some BND activist groups:
- Find a local Jammer Group on Adbusters
- Culture Jammers on Tribe.net
- BND Yahoo Group
- Caring Consumers on LJ.
Please feel free to share any more related groups in the comments.
Their tag line says it best: Participate By Not Participating. There are plenty of ideas at the official site, and it's a great place to start.
What will you be doing for BND?

"Led by Dr Ki Bang Lee, a team at Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology developed the paper battery which is designed to be cheap to produce, and use urine as its power charge source.
Using 0.2 ml of urine, the team were able to generate a voltage of around 1.5 Volts with a corresponding maximum power of 1.5 mW. Battery performance can also be adjusted by using different construction materials.
The research was published in the Institute of Physics' Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering."
