Given Donald Trump's horrifying attitude toward women, it comes as no surprise that his son, Donald Trump Jr., would take a similar stance.
Trump Jr. appeared on the Opie and Anthony Show in 2013 to discuss All-Star Celebrity Apprentice, which I'm sure he touched upon over the course of the 48-minute segment. It's his comments about women in the workplace that stand out above all else, however.As BuzzFeed notes, Trump Jr. is a "guy's guy" and appears to be having a hard time getting used to women appearing in spaces he's specifically gendered for men. The hosts agree: Having a woman on the golf course is unusual, to say nothing of the PGA's sexist history.
"We're just becoming a different society for better or worse," Trump Jr. laments. "If you have a guy's place, you have a guy's place. I have a hard time letting go of that. Maybe I'm not going to have a choice."
Buddy, let me tell you about your sister's business success. Did you know that only a quarter of key management positions are held by women? Guess you've never been in a board room or something.
Women invading men's sacred space isn't the only issue at hand for Trump Jr. It's also their attitude toward potentially offensive humor that gets him riled up. Before launching into his mini "women are weak" tirade, he preempts his statement by acknowledging its implicit shittiness, yet goes on just the same:
"I'm sure I'll get myself in trouble one of these days. If you can't handle some of the basic stuff that's become a problem in the workforce today, then you don't belong in the workforce. Like, you should go maybe teach kindergarten. I think it's a respectable position. You can't be negotiating billion-dollar deals if you can't handle, like, you know."
Opie and Anthony come in with the assist, somehow deciding to pull up porn during the radio show to prove a point while also mocking those who cry foul on such behavior. It's probably not chill to show your co-worker sexually explicit content because you want to bro around, but that doesn't apparently matter to these chucklefucks.
One of them baits Trump Jr. with this question: "Wouldn't it be funny if we showed tits and Donald sued?" And Trump Jr. plays right into it.
"I'd feel harassed! This is my get-rich-quick scheme. I'm now suing you guys because I feel uncomfortable," Trump Jr. proclaims. "And by the way, that's what happens in the world. I can play along, I can be fine, and then I can decide randomly, 'Uh-oh, you now have crossed the line, even though I've been going with it.'"
Trump Jr. should know a whole lot about the efficacy of lawsuits given his dad's experience serving papers thousands of times while wading his way through over 169 federal lawsuits against him over the course of his shoddy real estate career made possible by a modest donation from his father and Trump Jr.'s grandfather.
Needless to say, this is not a good look and probably not the last we'll hear of Trump Jr.'s discrimination toward women. If the rapid-cycling chaos of his father's remarks have shown him anything, it's that words do matter and that "locker room talk" is not OK, no matter the setting.

Being made to work for Poundland 'was like forced labour' says jobless graduate in human rights claim
- Cait Reilly's lawyers say programme breached Article 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights, prohibiting slavery and forced labour
- The 22-year-old said she spent by five hours a day sweeping up and stacking and cleaning shelves at Poundland in Birmingham
- Another claimant, Mechanic Jamieson Wilson, refused to do 30 hours' unpaid labour a week cleaning furniture for six months
- Lawyer compares taking away jobseekers' benefits to putting asylum seekers in detention centres
Cait Reilly, pictured, yesterday asked the High Court to declare the Government¿s back-to-work programme unlawful
A graduate made to work for her jobless benefits as a shelf stacker in Poundland yesterday claimed the scheme amounted to 'forced labour' which breached her human rights.
Cait Reilly yesterday asked the High Court to declare the Government's back-to-work programme unlawful after she was required to work in the budget store or risk losing her £53.45-a-week jobseeker's allowance.
The 23-year-old said she had to give up a voluntary post in a museum to take the placement but was promised a job interview if she completed two weeks training at Poundland. However, she says, that never materialised.
The Government is fighting her claim and strongly denies that its flagship work programme, which has placed thousands of jobseekers on unpaid placements since its launch last year, is equivalent to 'slave labour'.
Unemployed mechanic Jamieson Wilson, 41, is also challenging the legality of another Government work scheme that compels the jobless to take unpaid work.
Lawyers for the pair are seeking a judicial review into the Department for Work and Pensions programme, saying it violates Article 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits forced labour and slavery.
The schemes, championed by Employment Minister Chris Grayling, aim to help 250,000 young people over the next two years through training and unpaid experience in the public, private and charity sectors. Placement-providers include chains such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Argos and Asda.
Miss Reilly, who graduated in geology from Birmingham University in 2010, was placed on the scheme after attending a retail jobs 'open day' in October last year at the suggestion of her Jobcentre Plus adviser.
Legal challenge: Cait Reilly, pictured, was 'forced' to leave her voluntary work at a museum to stack shelves at Poundland or risk losing her benefits
Only after attending was she told she had to undertake a period of training or risk losing her benefits.
Nathalie Lieven, QC, appearing for Miss Reilly, said her placement at Poundland, near her home in Kings Heath, Birmingham, involved carrying out 'menial' tasks, adding: 'Such work did not contribute to (Miss Reilly's) search for work to any extent.'
Miss Reilly had undertaken the work under 'menace of penalty' in breach of her human rights, she added.
Unhappy: Cait Reilly is shown outside the Poundland store in Birmingham where she claims she was forced to work
The court was told Poundland is a successful firm with a net turnover of £500million, and her placement did not contribute to the public interest.
Miss Lieven told Mr Justice Foskett the way in which the back-to-work programme was administered was 'blatantly unlawful', and had put thousands at risk of unfairly losing their benefits.
She also accused the Government of 'seemingly sub-delegating to private sector providers' how the schemes were run, including whether those who refused unpaid work should lose benefits.
Miss Lieven added: 'These claimants have an entitlement to subsistence-level benefits.
'Taking away these subsistence-level benefits for up to six months is in many ways just as fundamental as being detained as an immigrant in prison.'
The court heard that Mr Wilson, also from the Midlands, had been unemployed since 2008.
He was told last November he would be required to undertake up to six months of unpaid work cleaning furniture.
After refusing, he had his benefits cut, and now faces the loss of his jobseeker's allowance for six months.
Paul Nicholls, QC, appearing for the DWP, argued that both legal challenges were 'wrong in law'.
He said the purpose of the schemes was to assist the long-term jobless to better equip themselves for work, and thousands of people in different situations had benefited.
The case continues.
Prestigious: Cait Reilly, 22, is a geology graduate from Birmingham University

While this may not be the ideal market to launch a hedge fund, UBS is enjoying surprising success. UBS Global Asset Management has launched the U.S. Fundamental Equity Market Neutral fund, an equity long/short hedge fund.
The portfolio is market-, sector- and factor-neutral. It is broadly diversified, typically holding 100 to 150 long positions and 100 to 200 short positions. Since inception in March, the fund has reported a gain of 9.1%, according to public databases.
"This is a fairly unique market-neutral strategy as all of the holdings in the portfolio are selected based on fundamental, not quantitative, analysis," said Ian McIntosh, portfolio manager for the Systemic Alpha team. "We expect 85% or more of the portfolio's active risk to come from security selection. We have minimized many of the factors used by quantitative managers, who comprise the vast majority of managers in this investment space."
The strategy offers monthly liquidity and has no lock-up period. It charges a 1% management fee and a 20% incentive fee.
UBS Global Asset Management manages some US$770 billion in traditional, alternative and real estate assets as of the end of March.

Listeners of The Bettor's Box get a dose of baseball betting insight and analysis twice a week here at BangTheBook. This show, recorded on Mondays and Thursdays, goes so far below the surface to help handicappers make money betting on baseball. Host Adam Burke uses sabermetric analysis to highlight players and teams that are of interest to bettors. This show covers a lot of topics and dishes out a lot of excellent information in a short amount of time. With picks for the night of the show and thoughts on the series and games coming up on the horizon, The Bettor's Box is a show that everybody needs to incorporate into their handicapping breakdowns.
Listeners of the show can also hit Adam up on Twitter at his handle, @SkatingTripods, to talk baseball betting, topics for the show, or any other sport at BangTheBook. He's always willing to discuss baseball, as well as the other sports. Don't hesitate to ask him for more clarification about sabermetrics or about the observations that he has seen in previous games.
Going Beyond the Box Score is a good way to uncover things that may impact teams and betting lines. Adam goes Beyond the Box Score on every show to find tendencies, trends, wagering angles, and more about some of the series that just wrapped up. On this Thursday edition, the Pittsburgh Pirates sweep of the San Francisco Giants was under the microscope. What is going on with the Pirates that has been so successful? Are the Giants going to continue this letdown after a hot month of May?
Two other series were covered, including the New York Yankees sweep of the Seattle Mariners. What worked so well for the Yankees in this series? Is Adam ready to buy in on the Yankees yet? What is wrong with the Seattle Mariners? Could their trade to acquire Mark Trumbo be a difference maker? Also, what's wrong with the Baltimore Orioles? They were a subject of this segment as well.
Interpreting and understanding line moves is very important for every baseball handicapper. That's why Adam takes the time to go Down the Lines and examine the betting market moves that happened earlier in the week. During this segment, he also broke down some of the Thursday lines and dished out his pick for Thursday night's action.
Combining sabermetrics and daily fantasy, Adam covered 10 different pitchers in-depth on this show to see which ones he thinks listeners should buy and which ones listeners should sell. This was definitely the best segment of the show as it should provide for some future help for listeners when handicapping the games on the schedule.
Remember to follow Adam on Twitter (@SkatingTripods) and also be sure that you follow @BangTheBook on Twitter. The top comments, questions, and suggestions will be mentioned on the show and every Tweet sent to either handle will get a response.
Subscribe to us on iTunes and get all of our podcasts downloaded instantly to your mobile device or computer. You can also find us on Stitcher, player.fm, and right here at BangTheBook.com.

Skip to comments.Harry Potter and the Dark Side
Posted on 07/18/2005 6:36:15 AM PDT by Kitten Festival
J.K. Rowling is historys richest-ever author, enjoying an incomparable global readership. With eager consumers lined up at midnight to buy her book on the date of release, she stands as the literary phenomenon of our times.
Rowling resembles no one in popularity so much as Charles Dickens, who inspired excited crowds in America to meet the packet ships from England, calling out for the next installment of the story of Little Nell.
She also rivals Dickens in her ability to create some of the most delightful names in literature. Uriah Heep, meet Severus Snape.
Few authors today write books for adolescent boys, who readily fall away from reading and are lured to the video tube. Daring to write long and complicated plots, Rowling doesnt underestimate her readers. Her books contain delightful inventions on almost every page: from mail delivery owls to the winged boars (flying pigs) that grace the Hogwarts school gates.
But huge success makes for a big target. Rowling does not lack for critics.
Some are bothered by her abundant use of adverbs, or worry about exposing very young children to the violence in the books good vs. evil plot lines. Occasional gross-out humor and love of annoying practical jokes dismay some adults, but meet the literary tastes of the adolescent boy.
By far the most serious criticism of the Harry Potter series comes from those Christians and Jews who believe any mention of magic in literature is completely and automatically off-limits based simply on the Biblical prohibitions against witchcraft.
I respect such critics, but I disagree with them. A few of them go overboard, muttering darkly about bargains with supernatural forces. But many are sincere and intelligent.
There is a basic difference between reading a Harry Potter book and invoking the dark forces. Casting actual spells is one thing. Reading about them while engrossed in a struggle between good and evil on the magical plane of childrens literature is quite another.
Magic has become a literary convention of imaginative literature, positing forces fo
Harry Potter is crap- give me Grand Theft Auto!!! Now that is some dark stuff.
Your screen name gives you away. You're HIM, aren't you? Shall I go insane now?
Too much sexual innuendo for my kids. I read reviews at the Catholic Bishops website and the Kids in Mind reviews. I admit I have not seen it, but I don't like the things I read there.
And, Aslan represents...
Well, duh. My point was that a "good" character (Lucy) had to be stopped by an outside agency from doing what she knew to be a wrong, selfish, and evil act.
Oh my, you're so clever it seems you've missed the point entirely. It's okay for a given writer to write about any subject as long as he/she maintains integrity, even when writing fiction. Take a look at good fiction, Steinbeck for example, and you will find the authors are masterful at telling the story of their characters from a perceptive (outward) rather than from projection (inward) view. It's okay to describe a character of a different race or gender from a perceptive viewpoint when outside the group, but it's dishonest to write as though you're that race or gender and this is how I actually think. Can you discern the difference? Why do you suppose the author of the Potter books needs a male character as a vehicle to promote witchcraft?
Actually, the subsequent books are full of magic, potions, mystical creatures. I loved them as a kid and have read them to my kids.
Well reasoned. Potter books are not universally bad for kids, but in the wrong hands, heck, manure can be deadly!
Nancy Drew was written by a man and she taught me all there is to know about life.
It's possible that I'm too jaded to see it, but I'd love to know what those reviewers considered "sexual innuendo."
Its setting in a British boarding school isn't enough?
Now THAT'S funny!
Hary Potter ping.
That's not from Harry Potter. I've seen all 3 movies, and don't remember that at all.
I know where your coming from. I'm an animator who just is coming from a school that's wall to wall liberals and I would guess Lucas Film and ILM (my dream job) would be no different. Yet, conservatives like us continue to deal with it and move on.
OTOH, if you consider "wand" to be a double-entendre, the books become far more funny (from a purely juvenile sense) to read.
Sorry, that was in Fantastic Four. I had posted that I preferred HP movies to that kind of stuff. Someone had asked what I didn't like about the FF movie and somehow we got our lines crossed!
LOL! We really don't want to see Dumbledore and McGonigal nude, now do we?
What can I say? The stars were right.
Does it endorse mistreatment of little people and house violence?
And no Elder Sign in sight ...
Maybe not chickens, but they are probably trimming the ends of Cat5e cable and then using the cuttings to tell fortunes (similar to reading entrails).
Agree to disagree, I suppose.
They might as well disembowel goats. When they use digital diagnostic equipment to evaluate network issues, the CIO says, "Yeah, well that doesn't prove anything!"
Your son seems quite insightful. My oldest boy, 11, just read the first Harry Potter book, and said it was reasonably interesting; maybe he'll check out another from the library. My 14-year-old daughter said it was boring.
In the wrong hands, the Bible is dangerous. Anything string enough to build on is strong enough to beat someone with.
I've read all of the books except the new one and as a Christian, am not bothered at all by the series. It's more about good -vs- evil than anything else.
I can't wait to start on the new oen.
The story -- and it might be an urban legend -- is that Lewis and Tolkein were sitting together, lamenting the fact that the youth of (their) today had no myths. And out of that conversation came the two great epics of the 20th century.
Lewis' epic adhered more closely to the Bible. Tolkein's reached back more into ancient tradition and sheer invention. But they both served the function of ancient myths, to teach moral lessons and illustrate virtue: Courage, wisdom, loyalty, determination, compassion. Those are eternal, no matter what the external trappings of the story. And the Harry Potter books depict all of them well. As well as some others I probably forgot to mention.
(As an aside, I will not be moved from my position that Samwise Ganjee is the real hero of the LotR trilogy. He had no special skill, no great strength, no supernatural powers, no preordained destiny. He Just. Would. Not. Give. Up. We can't decide to have the skill of Legolas or the power of Gandalf. We can decide to be Sam.)
I've struggled through two books of the Ring trilogy. I haven't had the energy to start the third.
There are people who fervently believe all fiction should be banned(burned) because fiction is by definition, untrue! Don't let anyone read lies!!!! Especially bad are political campaign flyers and recent supreme court decisions;obvious works of fiction.
To fear literature is to be doubtful of the rock upon which you stand.
I've read the books so that I can discuss them with my oldest son, who is also reading them. Guess what? We still believe that Christ died for our sins, and that our redemption is through Him only.
Plus, we got to read some pretty good books. Tolkien they're not. But they're pretty good.
Love it, love it, love it! Too bad it's too long for my tagline or I'd steal it!
I'll warn you in advance--if you ever decide to tackle The Silmarillion, start taking vitamins a month or two ahead of time.
LOL, that's no lie!
I love LOTR, have read them many, many times -- but I would say that I ENDURED the Silmarillion, or SURVIVED it.
My punk teenager ate it up, though, and my wife thought it was fun. Humph.
Oh good lord! - Said in my best kelsey grammer impersonation.
You mean to tell me you have never seen Army of Darkness. Only one of the best cult films of all time. Bruce "The Bruce" Campbell is one of the most underrated actors of all time in a comedy-action sense. Ok.... First skip the censored crap on tv and go rent Evil Dead 1 & 2, and Army of Darkness.
Personally, I have my limited edition of Evil Dead 2 with the fake skin (Necronomicon) case.
Plus, the Bruce was the only reason to watch Xena (other than that totally hot lesbian thing).
That's me - putting the "Fun" back into "Fundamentalist".
Kind of like a flying dutchman?
That would be a new wrinkle...
Heh... Yeah...
ROFLMAO!! Ya Got that RIGHT!
OK Enough aleady! T H White Once and Future King, J RR Tolkien LOTR, Richard Adams Watership Down, JK Rowling Harry Potter.
Would you authors stop writing World War II analogies? We get the point. Hitler Bad.

Book DescriptionThis is a 'mixed relations' view of Australian history that breaks the bounds of narrow domesticity. The author looks at the interactions of indigenous people with Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Malays and Afghans. Based on over 100 interviews with members of families who still form extensive networks across the continent, this book is part family stories, part historical narrative, creating a new way of looking at Australia's past. Challenging the 'white Australia' perspective as descriptive of the whole continent, the author argues that Australian settlement history starts in the north, with the well-documented Makassan trade. Both numerically and in terms of their impact on Aboriginal policy, Asians have continued to play a dominant role in the north and therefore in Australia, and are implicated in the Stolen Generation.

The Rolex Company was founded by Hans Wilsdorf in 1905, although the company was initially known as Wilsdorf & Davies. The name was changed to Rolex in 1908 and was soon one of the leading watch companies in Europe. Rolex watches continue to be known around the world for their quality and appearance. Older Rolex watches are frequently sold as collector's items. Determining the date of a Rolex watch takes a few steps.
Step 1
Remove the watch band bracelet at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions. The serial number and model numbers are located inside the watch band at these locations.
Step 2
Match the serial number with the serial number and date on a guide to Rolex watches. You can find these guides online at websites such as Pre-Owned Rolex.com and Quality Tyme.net.
Step 3
Note that Rolex did not necessarily issue watches according to manufacture date. Some serial numbers were issued at the same time. Thus, serial numbers and their dates are meant to be a guide only and cannot guarantee the manufacture date of a Rolex watch. If you are unsure as to the date of a watch, take it to an authorized Rolex retailer for assistance.
Step 4
Turn the watch over and look at the case back. In 1953, Rolex reached the serial number 999,999. They then began to re-use serial numbers but engraved the case backs with Roman numerals to indicate what serial number series the watch belonged to. For instance, serial numbers in 1955 included '200000 II'. Rolex instituted a 7-digit serial number in the 1960's and began using letters that spelled out "R-O-L-E-X" in 1987.
Step 5
Contact the Rolex Company in Switzerland if doubt remains as to the exact date of a watch. Rolex Switzerland keeps a precise date record of every watch produced.

@Sue77 I can completely understand your reservations & doubt hun. So I will do the positive thinking for you on your behalf 😊 I'm really praying that this will be your lucky rainbow xx
It's not really the 'lack' of symptoms - it's that the past few days I've been getting bad lower back pains. And when I miscarried, the only 'symptom' I had of m/c, were these back pains. So it's making me feel/think that history is going to repeat itself 😕

hi ladies!! asorry i have been MIA once again ( sister and best friend were here for 2 weeks and my computer sh!t itself) but im back!!
congrats to those who have got BFPS, big hugs to those who have had AF arrive and fx and baby dust to those still to test!!
eko i am impressed by your willpower not to test... it is so hard isnt it!!
AFM.. AF was due yesterday and still.. nothing! and i dont feel like she's arriving either. I have had sore boobs, vomited a few times in the past few days, been crazy emotional (cried because i couldnt find the panadol and totally lost my sh!t and cried for 15 minutes when one of my piercings came out. and it wasnt from pain because it didnt hurt. then i found myself thinking what the hell is wrong with me LOL), my immune system has been absolute sh!t (managed to get a cold even though im in 40+ degree heat, my conch piercing (ear) is playing up even though it hasnt had any problems in 3 years, a burn on my leg from 2 weeks ago randomly got infected) and i have had random very mild cramping in my lower tummy but not AF type cramping. So i have yet to crave and POAS, mostly because i am petrified of getting a negative when things are looking so positive. does anyone think i should test or am i just being stupid? i cant rely on AFs due date because my cycles have been all over the place. two cycles ago was 37 days then last cycle was 26.
if anyone needs a good laugh i found this incident pretty hilarious and probably the funniest drunken injury i've ever had (and i've had many haha) the abovementioned burn on my leg is from sitting on a mossie coil. so it's more like upper thigh than leg lol. I was with my sister (we'd been to a local pub intending to have a quiet couple of drinks when the owner supplied us with free jugs of beer) and came home and were sitting on the air bed talking. Drunk me attempts to stand up, fails and sits on the mossie coil. BUT it took me a good 60 seconds to realise i was sitting on it LOL. it was hiarious at the time, but the painful blister the next day wasnt so funny!!
Anyway i hope everyone has had a wonderful day, fingers crossed and good luck to those POAS tomorrow morning (i may cave and join you!)
Ouch that sounds nasty lol Good luck with getting your BFP
How much do the FRER tests cost in AU? I don't think we get them in NZ?
mrstuilawa - i think you should test. it all sounds very promising!
Went and bought new tests just to make sure it wasn't a bad batch that I used this morning.
I couldn't help myself......tested again and up came a line again, still faint but definately there!!!
DH can even see it to...........

An Ellison footnote
RealClearPolitics executive editor Carl Cannon comes to the defense of DNC chairman wannabe Keith Ellison in an Orange County Register column in which he finds Ellison the victim of "the character assassination that's now a permanent feature of our politics." Cannon has an arguable point to make about the necessity of civility and good faith in our politics. Although the point is arguable, it is misapplied to the case of »
Mr. Ellison regrets
Minnesota's own Keith Ellison is the DNC chairman wannabe with a past. He's a past and long-time local advocate of the Nation of Islam who claims not to have picked up on the doctrines of the hate cult until well into his tenure. Since he abandoned the Nation of Islam and turned or returned to Islam, Ellison has been a friend of CAIR and other radical Islamist front groups such »
Keith Ellison for dummies revisited
I wrote the Weekly Standard article "Louis Farrakhan's first congressman" and posted the companion Power Line post "Keith Ellison for dummies" in October 2006, when Ellison was on the verge of election to Congress representing Minnesota's Fifth District. The latter piece includes some of the basic documents supporting my narrative of Ellison's long association with the Nation of Islam. I was provoked to write these pieces by the poor job »
Sunday morning coming down
Frank Loesser prospered writing songs for the movies, for the war and for Broadway. As John Bush writes in his Allmusic profile of Loesser, "it appears that Frank Loesser had several careers packed into his one life."

What happened in Minnesota: A coda
Donald Trump narrowly lost to Hillary Clinton in the contest at the top of the ticket in Minnesota this year, but in other respects Republicans had an astoundingly good year. They amplified their majority in the Minnesota House to an unprecedented number in a presidential election cycle, when the turnout advantage usually accrues to Democrats, and took the majority in the Minnesota Senate. Republicans haven't held a majority in the »

Valerie Jarrett was on hand at the briefing sessions to lend her »
With Ellison inside the Nation of Islam
Working from public documents and my own interviews in 2006, I constructed a picture of Keith Ellison as a serious long-time advocate of the Nation of Islam. This is the picture I drew of Ellison in "Louis Farrakhan's first congressman" and in the companion Power Line post "Keith Ellison for dummies" just before his election to Congress in 2006. Ellison's past and his continuing deceptions about it have emerged anew »
Ellison seeks full-time work
Speaking at a gathering of Democrats in Denver last week, Keith Ellison argued that he could both represent Minnesota's Fifth District in the House and lead the Democratic National Committee if elected its chairman. "All there is to do is to vote 'no,'" Ellison explained, vowing that he would spend "every other moment" working for the party. No comment was sought from Ellison's Democratic colleagues in the Minnesota congressional delegation. »
On Ellison, pass the popcorn
Alan Dershowitz thinks that Keith Ellison is just the man to lead the Democratic Party — if you want to bury the Democrats. On that point, he agrees with many Power Line readers on Ellison's candidacy to to chair the DNC. In the video below, Professor Dershowitz expounds on what he sees as Ellison's — what's the word? — "weaknesses" as a prospective party leader. Professor Dershowitz argued his case »
Ellison remembers to forget (again)
As Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison seeks to take on the leadership of the Democratic National Committee, the Washington Post has published Ellison's column whitewashing his past in the Nation of Islam as part of its Acts of Faith series bearing on religion. There is a certain logic in this. To enjoy Ellison's column, you must suspend your disbelief and ignore the evidence that starkly contradicts it. You must »
Ellisonian gleanings
Keith Ellison is trying to plug the leaks that have sprung in his nascent campaign to head the Democratic National Committee. Ellison seeks to plug the leaks with lies and he's lying as fast as he can talk. Let's tune on him in action. Last week the Investigative Project on Terrorism released audio of Ellison speaking during a 2010 political fundraiser, criticizing what he saw as the inappropriate and disproportionate »
A not ready for prime time player [With Comment by John]
For the past 10 years the Star Tribune has shielded Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison from serious scrutiny. The Star Tribune has reported the apologetics of Ellison and his devoutly liberal Jewish supporters as facts. They are not. Ellison's success in misleading the hometown crowd has deluded him into thinking he is ready for prime time as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He is not.

Considering the increasingly international scope of Damon and Naomi's music, and their prolonged interest in melancholy (their first LP was titled More Sad Hits), it makes sense that they'd put together a series like this: a collection of tearstained art-folk music from around the world. It's not surprising, but welcome. This first volume features two musicians from Japan (Mikami Kan and Tomokawa Kazuki), one from Turkey (Fikret Kizilok) and one from Korea (Kim Doo Soo). Each has his own style, lyrically and musically—some more philosophical, some more directly political, some more cynical—but each is a serious talent, though nearly unknown in the US. As the liner notes point out, the four draw less from their country's folk traditions, are more poetic singer/songwriters in the tradition of a Bob Dylan. The 16 songs here are all remarkably powerful works, and they're only hints of what these musicians have accomplished in long careers. The copious liner-notes bios detail the ups and downs—stylistic changes, battles with censorship and personal addictions, falls in and out of favor with fans. Even in this supposed global information era there's still music of stature and depth being made in other countries without our knowledge—it makes me wonder if "world music" as a genre isn't often a limiting force, the way it tends towards sociology, towards music that represents the perceived culture of the musician's country of origin.

I know I'm probably better off on my own
Than lovin' a man who didn't know
What he had when he had it
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
Never …
Yeah yeah
I seduce you with this Aston Martin I bought today
Oh, you done did more drugs than me? You must be hallucinating
Oh, you did more percs than me? Then you …
I can see it written all over your face
You doubted me from the first day
And it never went away
So I say this…
Girl I thank you, I thank you
I thank you
'Cause …
Freeband Gang
I seen a so-called good girl turn on me
I smoke this dope to burn, burn, burn on it
I gave her new waves and then watched her turn on me
With …
I'm so cold I'm dripping icicles1
I go and take your man, that nigga might miss ya2
Spent his whole commission on my neck and ear3
To stand around me need to have your winter gear4
Pay me coats and benzies5 it's that burg ice6
That's why I do not feel these bitches' frost bite7
Grown money ever since they done I make my own money8
You broke honey? And they call me BANKS cause I can loan money9
Colder than December my diamonds on Anna Wintour10
So that's fly11 ice in my life
I don't see no limits so I strive and I shine twice12

They rise when I arrive in this
All hail the supreme ice princess15
Tell the carriage hurry up and come and get me16
Tell the haters in the wrong you can miss me
Hollywood you can go and A-list me17
I like a shot of hard whiskey18

That ice cube up in the lobby bitch white fox
Peep the opulence, ice box the coolest confidence26
Isis queen that icy witch, winter fresh in that whitey bitch
Shimmering Aphrodite, winter wonderland body so frosty in that bugati27
Porcelain snowflake and pappi popsicle in your pocket

Coco a la mode who frozen from head to toe ice grilling the status quo
Cold killer so now you know29
I'm feelin it, I'm feeling a change
I'm feeling it, in the air
So let me in30

text: I'm in a bit of a dilemma at the moment and feel that the Naafi readership may be able to offer some advice. My dear old grandmother cashed in her chips last week (*sniff blub etc) and so I'm being forced to ruin a perfectly good weekend to go and get her planted tomorrow. I had been hoping to get some good quality midweek funeral action out of the situation but that was not to be. It has also been brought to my attention that this Sunday is Mothering Sunday. Now this isn't usually a problem for me as my old dear thinks herself lucky if she receives a five minute phonecall on the day and a card a week late if the postman hasn't "lost" it. Now in an ideal world we'd have a singsong, quick stretcher race outside, lob her in the hole, chuck a bit of muck on top and I'd be away down the M40 like Stirling Moss. Unfortunately I have this weak whiny civilian voice in my head that's coming out with bone ideas about hanging around until Sunday and being bored rigid about which members of my extended family are suffering from which unpleasant ailments. I can only put this weakness down to the proximity of my Mother's Mum's funeral to said day. The much louder squaddie's voice in my head is saying fuck her at least she doesn't have to bother buying a card this year. Who should I listen to?

Hi there,
just want to know everyone's experience on breast feeding. When did you start to notice the feeding times change?
During the day I have to feed every 2 hours and at night it is spaced out between 3-4 hours which is great.
but it's hard during the day to get anything done, takes nearly an hour for. Feed and trying to get him back to sleep, then he's up again in an hour to feed again.
hr is 6 weeks old on Sunday.
what have you all experienced in this?

Here is our latest project. It is a sledge for hauling gear to the camp in the snow.
And is you have a few minutes to spare and want to "geek out" on the build video, here you go.
Until next time…
Here is our latest project. It is a sledge for hauling gear to the camp in the snow.
And is you have a few minutes to spare and want to "geek out" on the build video, here you go.
Until next time…
What better way to welcome in the new year than to spend it with family and friends in our own little winter wonderland.
We escaped to the mountains for a few days of snowshoeing, XC skiing, sledding, campfires, ukuleles, and lots of shoveling snow.
Let's start with a little video:
…and how about a few more pictures.
And finally here is our pal Walker in full twist mode.
Happy new year everybody.
We headed back to a very familiar winter playground for our family. Smithbrook Road in the central Washington Cascade mountains. Here are a bunch of photos we wanted to share:
Note: The little smile 🙂
Left to right – Travis, Remy, Booker, Suzie, Teresa, Kat
Soon we turned off the road and dropped down into the valley. The terrain was really steep so I went down first and stomped in a pretty doable switchback pathway all the way down.
Even little Remington managed the descent with no problem.
Finally it was Travis' turn to come down (with the sleds)…
and inevitably the crash…
About this time we broke out our snow shovels and began grooming a proper sled track, with a launch pad and some jumps.
Sled run after sled run worked up an appetite, so we took a little break for some lunch.
It was wonderful to get back up to Smithbrook Road, and stomp around in a winter wonderland that has been the site of so many great family adventures for us over the decades.
That's all for now. Hope you all had a great Christmas and happy holidays.
Hope you liked the video. Don't miss a chance to get our and enjoy nature.
After nearly 50 years of service, my brother Buzzy is finally retiring from the Seattle Police Department. For any of my pals in law enforcement, this is the place where your jaw drops and you say, "holy smokes". (Or something like that).
So I thought I would make him a special commemorative keep sake box to mark the occasion. Here is a little video of that project:
What better day then Thanksgiving to present the box to Buzzy. I had a chance to show him the video and hand over the cedar box. We also spent a little time examining the video editing process and seeing how all the video clips, background jingles, and voice over segments blend together to form the final project.
Speaking of blending, one of the things a most enjoy about a project like this is the blending of some old school woodworking craftsmanship, and the creativity of shooting and editing an interesting (I hope) little video.
Well thanks for following along. I hope you liked the show. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Bespoke is an adjective for anything commissioned to a particular specification. It may be altered or tailored to the customs, tastes, or usage of an individual purchaser.[1]
… More about that in a second.
So everybody that knows me, knows that being a grandpa to five little grandsons is one of the greatest joys of my world. Yep, its all boys. We don't have any granddaughters, officially speaking. However, we've been blessed to have three beautiful girls as unofficial granddaughters to light up our lives, and we certainly think of them as family. Camille, Audrey, and Hazel. Camille is now 17 years old, yikes…Where does the time go.
This summer on a camping trip, Camille and I discussed the possibility of her designing, and us making (together) a handmade leather purse. Of course I said yes. We talked design and made some cost estimates. Later Camille sent me a drawing of her design and it looked pretty cool. Maybe a little technically challenging but well within my limited capabilities. I came up with a couple of ideas to enhance the design and simplify the buckle closure, and we were on our way to a true "bespoke" heirloom quality leather purse.
Job #1 was to make a paper pattern of the purse. Initially we'd use it to refine the shape of the purse and to estimate the size of the leather we were gonna need. Eventually we would carefully separate the pieces of the paper purse out and use it for the pattern to cut out the leather.
I used a circle template for the scallops on the flap, and tried to make them somewhat symmetrical.
Finally we set a date to go leather shopping. I tried to prepare Camille for the sticker shock of how expensive leather would be, and expected that we might pay close to $100.00 bucks just for the main piece of leather. In addition we'd need some hardware and the shoulder strap. It can add up quickly.
Imagine our delight when we found the perfect 6/7 ounce, veg tanned, shoulder cut on sale for about 1/3 of the expected price. Score!
I was excited to get going and would have started that very same day… But of course I needed to wait until Camille's school schedule allowed her to be there to begin with me. But I did cut out and wet form the custom phone pockets a few days before the official start. That way they would be dry and ready for the dye process along with the rest of the leather pieces.
The smaller wooden blank was the size of Camille's current phone. The other one was a bit larger. It can be used to hold a few small items but in the event that she gets a larger phone some day she can switch to the bigger pouch. The idea was to make the purse so it would be future proof. Again, truly a "bespoke" one of a kind item.
So our first night was a huge success. We cut out the pieces, beveled the edges, and applied the dye. Camille stamped her name in a small leather strap that will hold a key ring clip inside the purse. We agreed that I would work on some of the stitching on my own while she was busy with school and all the other mysterious things that 17 year old girls must do.
Stitching the main part of the purse together was going to take hours sitting on the stitching pony. There would still be plenty of smaller things for Camille to practice her saddle stitch on.
Then it was time to climb aboard my home made stitching pony and spend a few hours running saddle stitches around the back and then the front.
And that's where the project rested for a week until Camille and I could resume the build together.
Our next work day and we jumped right in. Camille managed to get her hand in every part of the construction. With both of us working together it looked like we were going to finish up the purse in one final evening.
I just can't tell you how pleased I was to spend some quality time with my dear friend Camille, and to see how proud of herself she was for what she was able to accomplish. And finally… Here is the finished purse.
Thanks for following along, I hope you liked the project. And a special thanks to Camille for being so awesome!

Smarter Bathrooms
Property Maintenance, Bathroom Renovations, Bathroom Renovation
The bathroom is probable one of the most used areas in the house. People need to bathe in order to get their day started. Many individuals don't want to leave home without taking a bath. Taking a bath is part of their daily routine and they will stay in it as long as time permits. This is the reason why making changes could help make the place look more desirable and comfortable. Here are the things that you need to consider when planning bathroom renovations.
*Don't rush-
You need to put into account that this project doesn't have to be rushed. You can make little changes in your room such as purchasing a bathtub and flooring. Do this and it will definitely provide a new feeling when you use the space.
*Sit in a bathtub before purchasing-
You need to check whether or not the bathtub is the right size in order to determine whether or not it's right for you. There are sellers that would permit their customers to try the tub but there are others that won't.
You need to ask the store if it's okay to sit on the tub before doing anything else. If they don't allow customers to try their product, then you should make an estimate of your size and see if it fits the tub. You can borrow a measuring tape from the seller or you can bring your own. There's no point in purchasing a tub that's too big or too small for you. It will only cause uncomfortable feeling when you try it.
*Select durable flooring-
There are many types of flooring materials that you can use. Choosing a material could make or break the appearance of your bathroom so be careful. You need to know the different materials in order to determine which one to purchase. Here are some of the examples:
Ceramic tile,
Natural stone,
Glass tile,
Bamboo and cork,
Pebble bath tiles,
Robin Reigi...
Mentioned above are only some of the materials that you can use for your bathroom floor. Picking the right one could help enhance the appearance of the place as well as make it more comfortable. You can make the place look like whatever you want because it is available in many shapes, colors, sizes, and texture. The looks of the place is only limited by your imagination so try to be creative. If you want to learn more about the different designs, then you can look at bathroom showrooms online. There you will have an idea of what design you will opt for your bathroom project.

Smarter Bathrooms would like to congratulate all finalists on their incredible and inspiring design entries and thank you to all entrants for maintaining the high standard of design in Australia.
I often say, if I had a dollar for every time someone tells me they have a small bathroom, then I wouldn't need to renovate bathrooms for a living!

Every space saving idea for your bathroom needs to be considered.
Smarter Bathrooms are more than just bathrooms, and as all renovators know, the benefits of dealing with one award-winning company means your kitchen, laundry and bathroom renovation can take a unique, functional and stylish look and feel while removing the stress to achieving your deadline.

According to a recent article on designbuildsource.com.au titled DIY Renovators Warned About Asbestos, Australia's biggest building and construction organisation has warned do-it-yourself renovators about potential health risks of mishandling asbestos during home renovations.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Have upgraded from a motorola e? to a bb curve for 2 weeks and then to a bold because the keyboard was too small on the curve for my big thumb..
Awsome phone, big learning curve for me not being that computer literate...to the problem:
I cannot get the voice dial to recognize 98% of my voice commands, i say "call Jake" it responds "did you say Ben?, did you say Cruz?, etc, "sorry no match found."
I have perused several forums and saw the question posted only once in massive lists with the only answer was to increase/decrease sensitivity, reject more or less, which worked absolutely great in the curve but has no effect in the bold. I drive all the time at work and especially need the hands free aspect of phone dialing. I hope Blackberry has a patch or something.
Thanks in advance for any help
