Hey there ladies and gents, great thread.
I love black people. I grew up in the Bahamas so I'm used to seeing strong black people. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, everyone in the media. That could be one of the reasons I have dated only blacks (with the exception of one spanish/greek guy) but I don't believe so. There are very very very few AP's where I am from, esp when I was a kid....I felt really isolated. The fact that I am from a tri-racial background of course made me "WHITE" to my peers. The fact that i listened to music other than rap/hip-hop/reggae made me a "WEIRDO" to everyone!
Which of course only made me rebel more. I really did yearn to be around people like me....but never once did I say "I wanna be around white people...they are like me". I do not get the fascination with this european beauty. The thin lips, the lack of hips, the boring, thin hair.
My gf in a beautiful black woman. I am so happy I found her. She was raised in NY (Harlem), and is such a strong, vibrant, INTELLIGENT individual. She has taught me about many black figures, and I in turn share my knowledge on ital living, and the simplicity of the Caribbean (there is no App for that!). She has been growing her locs for 14 years, and is helping me on my journey (3 months in!!) We can spend spend all day listening to the teachings of Marcus Garvey and all night head banging.
I really fell in love with her when she threw a house party a few months back and I realized how diverse her friends were....black, white, indian, asian...it blew me away. a lot of people can preach about having friends from all walks of life, few can prove it.
So basically to sum up this rant, it would be nice to see more AP's together. I think we just don't give each other a chance. I love being able to talk openly about oppression and moving forward with my partner and not have it be deemed as some old "racist" jive. To be able to scream "nigga, nigga, nigga, turn down the volume" and then burst into giggles cuz no one is offended.
But most importantly I think if AP's were to get together it would really show everyone that black punks are not trying to conform to what is still viewed as a "white" lifestyle. Black is beautiful.
Obviously, if you love a white person I am not hatin' on you. Just make sure you are happy and love the person...not the color.
Interesting thread. I'm mixed (AA/Native Am/English/Irish/Dutch and except for a few rare exceptions, have dated AA, Latino and mixed guys. Living in NYC, I guess I've had more options than a sister living in, I dunno, Toadsuck Arkansas, and the guys who turned me on to Fishbone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Bad Brains, Suicidal Tendencies and Slayer were brothers. White guys are cool to look at and chill with but when it comes to forming a relationship, I prefer and am simply more comfortable with men of color. Guess I take after my Mom :)
I think Artsynerd hit it on the head: most of us APs have been on the receiving end of funny stares and rude comments from other black people simply because we don't fit into that stereotypical box of what black is...and lets just keep it real, on the dating tip its the white people who want to show you any type of romantic interest. after awhile, you get conditioned to that.
Fortunately, I haven't had to fit in that box or become conditioned to only expecting to catch rhythm from White cats 'cause NYC has plenty of brothers who dig rock and other alt shit (and yours truly). I plan to be at AP'11 and although I'll be with my man, it'll do my heart good to see all you fine AP brothers congregated in one place.

New Leadership for the Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties
The Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties gets a new Executive Director. Carlos Rodriguez takes the helm of the nonprofit organization that distributes food to over 250 community partners.
The South Bronx native comes with over 15 years experience, serving as the Vice President for Agency Relations and Benefits Access with the Food Bank for New York City before leaving. Rodriguez says he's learned how to create awareness and to manage the growing new reality of hunger among populations that have never experienced it.
He says, "over the last five years alone, I understand, that we've seen over and 84% increase in the number of people that are served through this Foodbank and so being able to manage that growth, being able to make the right partnerships to bring solutions those who need it, is what I bring to the table."
Rodriguez says one of the first things he plans to do is to really listen to the operators of its partner agencies, the emergency feeding programs. "To listen to see what their needs are. How can we help manage their increase? What type of foods do they need?"
He goes on to say "as part of their new strategic plan that we're launching, we want to, as we grow stronger and more prepared to deal with this increase, make our partners just as strong and strengthen them to be able to provide for the community on the front lines."
Rodriguez's resume includes a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from the College of Holy Cross and a Master's Degree in Urban Planning and Not-For-Profit Management from Milano at New School University in Manhattan.
He says he began working with hunger relief organizations right out of college because he wanted to give back.
Presently, Rodriguez makes the long commute from Bergen County to Neptune Township and he hasn't ruled out relocating to the shore area. He's married with two sons ages 2 and 5.
He takes over for former Executive Director Susan Kelly who left in June and says he takes over an organization that's in good shape. "We're so fortunate here in Monmouth and Ocean Counties because my charge is really to build on a strong foundation. We have a tremendous team, a tremendous community here. It's really one of the things that attracted me up to this Foodbank is the real since of community, not only from the staff but from everyone around to really just work towards and end to hunger if not everywhere, then at the very least right in our own back yard."

Sophomore Simon Giourmetakis scored an unassisted goal in the second overtime as the Canisius College men's lacrosse team picked up a 11-10 double overtime win against Manhattan at the Demske Sports Complex on Saturday night. The Golden Griffins are now 1-4 overall and even their record at 1-1 in the MAAC.
Sophomore Jimmy Haney had a team-high three goals while junior Adam Jones had four points - one goal and three assists. Playing in his first game of the season, junior Nick LoCoco had a goal and two assists while Giourmetakis also had two goals on the day.
"We needed a win in the worst way and we were able to come out on top tonight," Canisius head coach Randy Mearns said. "Our guys have been working so hard, and a win like this is something to build off of. Manhattan has a great team, and I'm proud of the way we battled back in a game of scoring runs. We were able to break through at the end and finish this game with a victory."
Each team had a chance in both of the overtimes. Canisius blocked a Manhattan shot in the first overtime and in the final 90 seconds, the teams went back and forth. After a Canisius turnover, the Griffs forced a Manhattan turnover and a shot from Travis Gibbons hit the post. Manhattan couldn't clear and the Griffs had another shot to win in the final seconds, with a shot from Gibbons hitting the post again.
Canisius won the faceoff to start the second overtime, but Jon Fiorillo came up with a save for Manhattan. The Jaspers came down and Canisius goalie Sean Callahan made his biggest save of the game. The Griffs got the ball into the Manhattan zone and Giourmetakis was able to beat his defender, scoring in the upper-right corner of the goal for the game-winner.
Callahan (1-4) had a career-high 13 saves on the day to earn the victory. James Synowiez and Justin Jensen each had four points (three goals and an assist) for Manhattan (3-4, 1-1).
Manhattan controlled the time of possession in the first half, but Canisius was efficient on offense - scoring on two of its first three and four of its first seven shots to take a 4-1 lead. The Griffs got on the board first when LoCoco found Haney in front of the net and Haney scored easily. The Griffs then got a goal in transition when Jones found LoCoco on the right side as LoCoco scored his first goal of the season to give Canisius a 2-0 lead.
After a Manhattan goal, the Griffs scored twice in the span of 50 seconds. LoCoco found Haney again and then Jones scored unassisted to put Canisius up 4-1. The Jaspers scored the final three goals of the half, holding Canisius to zero shots during the final 11 minutes.
The Jaspers carried over that run to the start of the second half, scoring the first goal to go up 5-4. Canisius responded with a five-goal run, including two goals in a span of 17 seconds. Jones found Brendan O'Hagan on the back door to tie the game and Tim Rowley made it 6-5 when he won the faceoff and went the distance for his first goal of the season. Giourmetakis went coast-to-coast for his first goal of the day, making it 7-5. A goal from Tom Vivian and a man-up goal from Gibbons put Canisius up 9-5.
Manhattan scored the next three goals to cut the Canisius lead to 9-8. Haney got his third goal of the night when he gathered the rebound of a save from a shot by Jones and scored to make it 10-8. Callahan came up with two saves on the ensuing Manhattan extra-man opportunity, but the Jaspers scored twice in the final seven minutes, including the game-tying goal with 1:47 left.
Manhattan won the faceoff and Callahan was able to force overtime with a save with 14 seconds remaining. The desperation attempt by Canisius wasn't successful and the teams went to overtime.
Canisius returns to the field on April 3, when the Golden Griffins travel to Saint Joseph's. Game time is set for 1 p.m.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/7/2014 (1087 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's hot — in the mid-20s by mid-morning — and getting hotter today, but rain is possible over the next few days.
That's not cooling relief for a region battling near-record flooding already, but Environment Canada says there is a good chance of storms tonight, then showers on Sunday and Monday.
Today, though, will be hot and humid. In fact, a heat warning has been issued for portions of south-central Manitoba, with Humidex numbers expected to hit 40.
A southwesterly flow has drawn up very warm air across much of southern Manitoba and with the recent heavy rainfall there is abundant low level humidity, forecasters say.
Temperatures this afternoon should reach 30ºC in Brandon, under mainly sunny skies, although there could be more clouds late this afternoon. The UV Index will hit 9, which is the highest it's been all year, and considered very high.
Partly cloudy skies tonight will bring a 60 per cent chance of showers, with the risk of a thunderstorm this eveing and after midnight. The low overnight will be 16ºC.
Tomorrow will see a mix of sun and cloud, with a 60 per cent chance of showers early in the morning. Winds will pick up to about 20 km/h from the northwest early in the afternoon, with a daytime high of 26ºC.
Into Monday, cloudy skies are expected, with a 60 per cent chance of showers and a high of 23ºC.
Sunny skies return late next week, though. Tuesday and Wednesday will be clear, with a high of 26ºC, followed by more sun on Thursday and Friday, with temperatures predicted to be 28–29ºC.
The normal high for this time of year is 25ºC. The normal low is 12ºC.
The hottest it's ever been on a July 5 was in 1961, when it hit 33.3ºC. The coldest ever was in 1983, when it was 2ºC.

New York can have its Broadway. We've got Elton and Britney, b*tch! Paris can keep its lights. We've got some of the most breathtaking sights this side of the rainbow. And no one's going to tell us that an oasis called Sin City isn't going to be friendly in all the right ways.
Wynn and Encore have "pride concierges" to point you in the right direction, but every hotel goes gaga for the gay dollar. The Luxor has a weekly LGBTQ pool party ever summer. And the Hard Rock Hotel is located near the infamous Fruit Loop, home to some of the best LGBTQ-friendly hotspots like Piranha and Freezone. Shop, dine, see the shows, stay and play in style at Mandalay Bay, Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas, NY-NY, and dozens of other hotels – all while feeling secure to be you. And for that extra dose of pride, pop into a wedding chapel to tie the knot!
Q: Can I get married in Vegas?
A: Yes you can! The wedding capital of the world is now truly for everyone. Bring your partner, your friends and even that one family member whose face you really want to rub your relationship in and get married the way Elvis intended. From The Gay Chapel of Las Vegas, the city's only gay-owned-and-operated chapel, to the massive Strip hotel accommodations, wherever you go in this city you'll find a priest, minister or rabbi ready to walk into a bar and make a serious statement about your love.
At many local chapels, couples can choose from themed wedding packages including beach party, disco, Egyptian, Gothic or Elvis Blue Hawaii wedding. Services are available including limousines, flowers, photography and video. Some even have pink Cadillacs to carry you away. And the major Strip hotels can put together an all-inclusive event for your ceremony that'll make every straight couple on your guest list jealous – like they aren't already.
For more information on these chapels, visit the VEGAS.com guide to wedding chapels. And remember, we may be Sin City, but don't let anybody call you sinners – at least not until you get back to your honeymoon suite.
Q: Where can I stay to be close to the LGBTQ scene?
A: Where can't you stay? Vegas is quickly becoming the go-to locale for LGBTQ excursions. And our ever-expanding community means you're always close to the action – no matter what kind of action you're looking for. But if you want more specifics, try these:
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is closest to the Fruit Loop and local favorites like Piranha and Freezone as well as hotspots like Alexis Park and Rumor Boutique Resort. But the scene is ever expanding. And if you'd like to be closer to the Strip, you've got several great options.
Luxor has a weekly LGBTQ pool party during the summer called Temptation Sundays. The Cosmopolitan hosts Confidential, a weekly LGBT party at Bond and also houses fabulous nightclubs like Marquee.
Tropicana Las Vegas will have the Xposed! Pool party and has always been a friend of the family. And Wynn Las Vegas and Encore offer many amenities aimed at giving the LGBTQ traveler the best experience possible.
Q: What are the best LGBTQ clubs?
A: We like to think they're all the best. But if we have to choose:
Piranha is a cool combo of darkness and sparkling life. The two-story lounge effortlessly merges dance floors, a pool table, a fish tank and an outdoor patio into a club that spans descriptions. They've got drag shows, drink specials and a sound system so powerful that it may, possibly, make some of the seats vibrate… We won't say how we know that.
Freezone is across the street from Piranha and bridges the gap between a local bar and a hot nightclub. When the dance floor isn't hosting drag shows, the stripper pole and mirrored walls are open to any patrons who thinks they're capable of taking a spin – it's harder than it looks.
Be sure to check out our full list of LGBTQ clubs to find the spot, or spots, you find most intriguing.
Q: What are the best bars?
A: There's a lot great LGBT bars in Las Vegas, but rather than give you a list, we thought we'd break it down by theme.
A sports bar: The Garage is off the Strip by Flamingo and Maryland Parkway. With sports on the screens, dart boards on the walls and assorted games around the room, the Garage is an attitude-free establishment featuring two-for-one specials and much more. And if you've got tattoos, check out Marked Up Mondays to get drinks for your ink.
A country bar: Charlie's Las Vegas is the only LGBTQ country bar in Las Vegas. But believe us, it's enough. There's no better place to corral yourself a cowboy – or at least let one pour you a strong and affordable drink. Every Thursday Charlie's holds free line dance lessons from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. On Monday nights enjoy karaoke, on Tuesday nights join in bingo (and get a free shot every time the bingo calling drag queen screws up) and on Sunday nights watch "Charlie's Amazing Drag Revue" with JewDi Vine and Michelle Holliday.
Dive bars: Funhog Ranch has your desires for leather and Levis covered, even when the leather and Levis barely cover anything at all. Cheap drinks, a great mix of patrons and no last call keep the party hopping as long as you can keep going.
Snick's Place is the oldest gay bar in Las Vegas, just don't make any old jokes to the bartenders. The quaint hole in the wall opened in 1976 and still has the feel of a gay bar, a neighborhood bar and a neighborhood gay bar all rolled into one. Happy hour specials Monday - Friday from 2 - 4 p.m. and 2 - 4 a.m.
Outlying/neighborhood bars: Las Vegas Eagle is a leather and Levis bar that's famous for its "Underwear Parties" on Wednesday and Saturday nights. It may seem a little odd for a leather and Levis bar to feature underwear parties, but it's sexy people in their underwear, so we're not going to question it. If, for whatever reason, that's not your thing, you can also partake in karaoke contests on Tuesday or Thursday evenings or indulge in bagels, bloody Marys, mimosas and other treats on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Flex and Goodtimes Bar & Nightclub are two great bars located west of the Strip. And Spotlight Lounge and Badlands Saloon are east of the Strip in a commercial center with Entourage Bathhouse and Hawks Gym. All four bars are open 24 hours and feature happy hours and friendly atmospheres.
Q: What shows/attractions should I see while I'm here?
A: If it were up to us you'd see everything. But we know you've got finite amounts of time and money. So here are a few options:
"Jersey Boys" at Paris Las Vegas and "Rock of Ages" at The Venetian are two shows any musical lover shouldn't miss. Rock out to some hair metal or be rocked by some hotties in harmony.
If you're looking for something a bit more sophisticated, The Smith Center for the Performing Arts features outstanding performances from musical and stage legends in their Reynolds Hall and exceptional acts in their intimate Cabaret Jazz room.
If you'd like to dip a little more sin in your Sin City affair, taste the sensual side of Cirque du Soleil with "Zumanity" at NY-NY or the daring inventiveness of "Absinthe" at Caesars Palace.
Somewhere in the foggy middle ground between sophisticated delights and tawdry trysts lies Britney Spears residency at Planet Hollywood.
And when it comes to drag, no one does it better than Frank Marino and his talented cast of female impersonators in "Divas" at the LINQ Hotel & Casino.

Fredro Starr Snaps On Charlamagne Tha God
Photo Credit: Clear Channel
Our sister station Power 105.1 in New York City is home to one of the most controversial morning shows in America. Charlamagne Tha God has been known, especially, to stir the pot with visiting guests. This morning, they had a Throwback Thursday edition of The Breakfast Club and sat down with NY group Onyx. For those who don't know, Onyx is made up of Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr. Many people know Fredro from his days of acting on shows like "Moesha" and movies like "Sunset Park". During the interview, Charlamagne brought up comments Fredro said about Brandy around the time the show was still on-air. Fredro didn't take kindly to what Charlamagne said and things got heated QUICK!! It almost came to blows! Afterwards, Fredro repeatedly brought up an incident that had Charlamagne getting punched in the face on camera. See the entire interview here. Fast forward to the 8 minute mark to see tensions flare. Be aware that the interview is unedited and the language is for mature audiences only!

Tech delivered one of its finest single half performances of the season, leading Colorado 37-19 at the break.
Jordan Murphree sank a third consecutive field goal at the 14:36 mark to put the Lady Raiders up 16-2 and capped a 16-0 run.
Murphree's 3-pointer at the 15:30 mark gave her more points than the two she scored in the loss at Oklahoma.
A turnover and fastbreak layup for Chucky Jeffery to start the game looked ominous for the Lady Raiders, but Tilmila Martin sank a three to put Tech back in control.

As far as the Texas Tech women's basketball team is concerned, Saturday's 95-90 double overtime loss to Texas at United Spirit Arena is in the wind.
The Lady Raiders are not dwelling on it, they're not thinking about it, and they're reluctant to even talk about it.
In talking to the team Monday at practice, it was clear the Lady Raiders were disappointed, but also anxious to get back on the court Saturday to face Texas A&M.
Coach Kristy Curry was pleased with the energy the team brought to its first practice since the loss and focused on turning the page.

ESPN.com's Charlie Creme has posted his latest women's basketball bracketology projections.
Creme included eight Big 12 teams, but not Texas Tech. Colorado, Missouri and Kansas State were the three other Big 12 schools left out.
Creme included UCLA, which Tech beat at Pauley Pavilion.

Kelsi Baker, a 6-foot power forward at Horn High School in Mesquite, Texas, was named the Player of the Week by the Dallas Morning News on Monday.
Baker, who signed with Texas Tech last November, had a triple-double a week ago with 22 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. She followed that performance Friday with 12 points and 14 rebounds.
The triple-double was Baker's second of the season.
"I feel like she's going to come in and be an impact player for us," said Tech coach Kristy Curry, who watched Baker's game in person Friday.

I hope there aren't too many people betting on Big 12 women's basketball this season.
If so, I hope they're really, really smart about who they put their money on.
It seems like very little has gone "according to plan" in the Big 12 this season. Nebraska is king of the conference right now; Baylor continues to struggle after losing its third conference game to Missouri; Oklahoma State has entered the picture as a threat any day of the week.
Baylor is 1-3 in conference play.

I really have great respect for the fact that after Texas Tech got handed its worst loss of the season and of the last four years, Kristy Curry marched into the postgame press conference with all three of the team's seniors behind her.
Ashlee Roberson, Jordan Murphree and Tilmila Martin all had forgettable nights on the court, but they didn't run from it.
"At this point we just got to come back and work harder each day in practce," Roberson said of the team's outlook after a 1-4 start to Big 12 play. "You can't look at today's game and dwell on it.

Mumbai, Dec 6 (ANI): Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday announced cash rewards of Rs 25 lakh for each player of the Indian team for becoming the number one Test squad in the world.
Earlier in the day, team India led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni had defeated Sri Lanka by an innings and 24 runs on the fifth and final day of the third and penultimate Test match to win the series 2-0 and claim the top spot in the ICC Test rankings.
The win gave three points to India, taking its tally to the top at 122 points in the rankings, which left South Africa and Sri Lanka behind.
"We have decided to give each Indian cricket team member Rs 25 lakh for becoming the number one in ICC Test rankings. Each of the support staff and selection committee members will be given Rs 10 lakh," said Shashank Manohar, BCCI President at a award function here.
It was a team effort from the Indians which saw them creating history, as after piling on a mammoth 729 for 9 in the first innings, it was the bowlers who responded with brilliant individual performances.
Zaheer (5/72) started with a ripper in the first over to get rid of captain Kumar Sangakkara (137), who was the lone Lankan batsman to stand tall amid the Lankan ruins.
Harbhajan and Pragyan Ojha scalped two wickets each, while the hero of the Kanpur Test, Srisanth bagged one.
This was the third time in the last four years that India has won two matches in a row. Once Sangakkara was gone, it was a matter of time before India romped home. (ANI)

A 15-year-old majorette who performed at some of President Barack Obama's recent inauguration festivities has been shot to death in Chicago amid the city's deadliest January in more than a decade.
Police say Hadiya Pendleton was shot in the back Tuesday in a South Side park and died at a city hospital.
Authorities say Hadiya was one of about 12 teenagers sheltering from heavy rain under a canopy when a man jumped a fence, ran toward the group and opened fire. The man fled the scene in a vehicle. No arrests have been made.
Police do not believe Hadiya was the intended target of the shooting. A teenage boy was shot in the leg. Police did not release his name.

FROM far Dakotas cañons,
Lands of the wild ravine, the dusky Sioux, the lonesome stretch, the silence,
Haply to-day a mournful wail, haply a trumpet-note for heroes.
The battle-bulletin,
The Indian ambuscade, the craft, the fatal environment,
The cavalry companies fighting to the last in sternest heroism,
In the midst of their little circle, with their slaughterd horses for breastworks,
The fall of Custer and all his officers and men.
Continues yet the old, old legend of our race,
The loftiest of life upheld by death,
The ancient banner perfectly maintaind,
O lesson opportune, O how I welcome thee!
As sitting in dark days,
Lone, sulky, through the times thick murk looking in vain for light, for hope,
From unsuspected parts a fierce and momentary proof,
(The sun there at the centre though conceald,
Electric life forever at the centre,)
Breaks forth a lightning flash.
Thou of the tawny flowing hair in battle,
I erewhile saw, with erect head, pressing ever in front, bearing a bright sword in thy
Now ending well in death the splendid fever of thy deeds,
(I bring no dirge for it or thee, I bring a glad triumphal sonnet,)
Desperate and glorious, aye in defeat most desperate, most glorious,
After thy many battles in which never yielding up a gun or a color
Leaving behind thee a memory sweet to soldiers,
Thou yieldest up thyself.

Veteran Health Indiana
Veterans House Home Away From Home
The Veterans House of Indianapolis promises to be a welcoming "home away from home" for Veterans and their families during an extended hospital stay.
As construction continues at the VA's Cold Spring Road campus, many pieces are rapidly coming together as the medical center builds both the structure and the infrastructure. Recently, Recreational Therapist Kimberly Few, 8 year employee of the VA, was announced as the new program manager for the Veterans House. "This is a perfect opportunity for me", said Few. "I've worked with veteran service organizations and volunteer groups in a variety of settings, and I think that experience prepares me very well for this program."
Many groups and individuals have contributed to the success of the emerging Veterans House program. Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) are working diligently to raise funds to help furnish the house, and provide the daily essentials needed to maintain the living conditions. Additionally, a Memorial Brick Program has gotten early success as families and groups find they can commemorate the memory of their Veteran or give encouragement to Veterans of recent conflicts.
Groups, organizations, churches, city government entities and Veterans/family members are invited to participate in the building and outfitting of the Veterans House program. Contact Kimberly Few at 317-988-1220 for more information.

Santa delivers gifts from fire truck
'Twas the night before Christmas and all around here, there were sightings of Santa spreading holiday cheer.
"A lot of these kids aren't sure if Santa's going to come to their house so when they do get to see him and Santa gives them a gift, it's just a special feeling when you see their face light up," said Eastern Prairie Assistant Fire Chief Jason Brown.
Instead of twelve reindeer and a shiny red sleigh, he came in a fire truck on Christmas Eve day.
"Kids that don't get to be fortunate enough to be home for Christmas or that are in the hospitals and sick, it's something to brighten their day by seeing Santa and getting presents," said Katie Hyatt.
With presents for children and candy canes too, he came with a message for them and for you.
"I think we've forgotten what Christmas is," said Gerald Gaines. "It's for children. It's supposed to be."
It's not all about boxes with ribbons and bows. But sharing hope with each other through highs and the lows.
"It's exciting because they don't get to see stuff like this that much but when they do it's a good time for them," said Hyatt.
After Santa gave gifts to all in his sight, he drove his red sleigh off into the night.
This was a part of the 20th annual Operation Santa that the fire department does. They also visited children in hospitals before hitting the streets.

Nobel Prize-winning novelist Doris Lessing dies aged 94
By Kevin Liffey
LONDON (Reuters) - The novelist Doris Lessing, who tackled race, ideology, gender politics and the workings of the psyche in a prolific and often iconoclastic career, died in London on Sunday at the age of 94, her publisher HarperCollins said.
The British-Indian novelist Salman Rushdie hailed the "warmth, sharp mind and ferocity" of a writer who continually reinvented herself to challenge conventions, but defied the feminists and leftists who would have claimed her for their cause.
Lessing won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2007, only the 11th woman to do so, but characteristically refused to offer the expected gushing response on hearing the news, observing drily: "One can get more excited than one gets, you know."
Born in what was then Persia, now Iran, on October 22, 1919, Lessing was raised in Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.
When she moved to Britain at 30, escaping the scene of an unhappy childhood and two failed marriages, she had in her suitcase the manuscript of a novel that broke new ground with its depiction of an inter-racial relationship in her white-ruled homeland. "The Grass Is Singing" was an immediate bestseller in Britain, Europe and America.
Her early stories and novellas set in Africa, published during the 1950s and early 1960s, decried the dispossession of black Africans by white colonials and exposed the sterility of white culture in southern Africa - work that made her a "prohibited alien" in Southern Rhodesia and South Africa.
Lessing wrote that, for her, Africa was "not a place to visit unless one chooses to be an exile ever afterwards from an inexplicable majestic silence lying just over the border of memory or of thought".
But it was her 1962 novel "The Golden Notebook" that brought her international fame with its experimental style and format, and linked her firmly to the feminist cause. Continued...

Russian parliament backs ban on "gay propaganda"
By Gabriela Baczynska and Alissa de Carbonnel
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's parliament backed a draft law on Friday banning "homosexual propaganda" in what critics see as an attempt to shore up support for President Vladimir Putin in the country's largely conservative society.
Only one deputy in the State Duma lower house voted against the bill, but passions spilled over outside the chamber, where 20 people were detained after scuffles between Russian Orthodox Christians and gay activists who staged a "kiss-in" protest.
"We live in Russia, not Sodom and Gomorrah," United Russia deputy Dmitry Sablin said before the 388-1 vote in the 450-seat chamber. Sablin said Russia is an old country "founded on its own traditional values - the protection of which is dearer to me than even oil and gas."
Veteran human rights campaigner Lyudmila Alexeyeva described the draft law as "medieval" and said it was intended to appeal to conservative voters after months of protests that have sapped Putin's popularity.
"It (the Duma) is relying on the ignorance of people who think homosexuality is some sort of distortion," she said.
The legislation has served to deepen divisions in society since Putin returned to the presidency in May and began moves seen by the opposition as designed to crack down on dissent and smother civil society.
During the process, Putin and his supporters have underlined what they see as conservative, traditional Russian values.
He has drawn closer to the Russian Orthodox Church during this time, hoping the support of one of the most influential institutions in Russia will consolidate his grip on power. Continued...

Melchior trophy returns to Bro. Martin, Holy Cross
For those who don't know better, it could be assumed that Brother Melchior Polowy was a Sacred Heart religious associated with wrestling at Brother Martin High School.
A large trophy, which carries his image, seems to have a permanent home in the school's Ridgley Center.
For the 14th time, Brother Martin has captured the Louisiana High Schol Athletic Association's Division I team title. And the Crusaders had the trophy ticketed for a return to the school long before the Feb. 16 championship tournament at the Pontchartrain Center was halfway through the final events.
Brother Martin led a cluster of five Catholic schools at the top of the leaderboard by scoring 315.5 points.
Martin was followed by Jesuit, 265; Catholic High of Baton Rouge, 246.5; St. Paul's, 223; and Archbishop Rummel, 198 points. The closest public school was Comeax, which finished sixth with 164.5 points.
The school at which Brother Melchior did introduce the sport to Louisiana 68 years ago also has a trophy that carries his image.
For the 27th time, Holy Cross overwhelmed Division II with sheer numbers to claim the team trophy. And the Tigers did it with just one individual champion, Alex Nicosia, who won the 126-pound title by defeating Teurlings Catholic's Tristan Lee.
But Holy Cross had eight wrestlers pick up points as runners-up, which helped give the school a total of 276, and a 44.5 winning margin over Teurlings.
Five Crusaders won individual gold medals and three were awarded silver medals for second place.
But the star wrestler of the night was St. Paul's senior Connor Campo, who finished a perfect 46-0 season by winning his second Division I, 232-point title by pinning Archbishop Rummel's Rick Lacava.
The 10 Catholic school champions
Mason Mauro 106 lbs.

Antique German Dolls
For more than four centuries, Germany was a global center for dolls, fostering everything from technical advancements such as the mechanical voice-box to purely imaginative improvements such as the concept of the "baby-doll." Most of Germany's dolls were made in the region of Thuringia, where more than 500 different doll-making companies were headquartered. The close proximity of so many producers created a fertile environment for innovation, leading to innovations that we take for granted today, including the toothed, open-mouth design credited to Kämmer & Reinhardt and the range of bisque skin tones produced by Simon & Halbig.
During the 17th century, Germany's earliest dolls or "Docken" were typically cut from a single piece of wood using a foot-powered lathe. These dolls had large, rounded heads and bodies roughly shaped like cones or playing pieces from the tabletop game Skittles. Most had no movable parts and portrayed adult characters rather than children. Eventually, small wood attachments were glued to the solid bodies of these primitive dolls to simulate arms, legs, or even facial features.
Wood dolls with flexible limbs attached by peg joints were introduced in the late 18th century, and are often called "Dutch Peg Woodens." Intricate features were created by sculpting a flour-based substance called "Brotteig," literally meaning "bread dough," onto their wooden forms. These dolls were then finished with a bright, durable coating of bismuth paint.
Porcelain was adapted to doll production in Germany during the early 1700s. The country's natural resources allowed many German companies like Armand Marseille, Dressel & Kister, Simon & Halbig, Hertwig, and Limbach to develop a variety of glazed porcelain or bisque dolls. The Gebrüder Heubach factory created particularly emotive bisque doll heads, most of which were sold to other companies for finishing. The detailed expressions on these dolls ranged from shy embarrassment to complete fear, as seen on a frightened Heubach doll with a large black fly perched on her nose. Heubach also made popular mechanical variations like "Whistling Jim," a doll whose chest was fitted with a bellows system to create a realistic whistle when pushed, as well as character figurines called "Piano dolls" meant for display rather than play.
In the early 1800s, German factories embraced a newer papier-mâché or composition technique, whereby a soft mixture of paper pulp and glue was mold-pressed to produce specific parts. Once dry, the individual pieces were sanded, painted, and varnished to make them more durable. Though the composition method helped to standardize production, early papier-mâché dolls were often consumed by mice attracted to the flour contained in their glue mixture.
Baby dolls, called "Täuflinge," were first produced in Germany during the 1850s, initially in a popular waxed papier-mâché style. The popularity of baby-dolls endures to this day, though the waxed composition method was soon dropped because of the rapid deterioration of the material.
By the second half of the 19th century, American retailers like FAO Schwarz and Macy's were selling Armand Marseille's porcelain dolls, which were designed in every price categor...
One of Germany's most renowned doll designers was Käthe Kruse, who began making detailed cloth dolls for her seven children in 1905. Kruse sold her first group of 150 dolls to New York's FAO Schwarz toy store, and in 1913, her dolls won the Grand Prix at the Gent World Exhibition. Kruse's most successful design, called "Doll VIII – The Faithful Child" was modeled after her son, and was the first of her dolls made with a human-hair wig.
Another successful female entrepreneur from Germany was Margarete Steiff, who established her doll business in 1877 with simplistic cloth character and animal figures. Her soft stuffed dolls were typically made from felt, plush, or velvet with embroidery or buttons used to create distinctive features. Although most famous for her animals, Steiff also designed charismatic human caricatures, like the dapper "Grosspapa" or Grandfather. Steiff dolls are easily recognizable by the company's signature button sewed into each doll's ear.
World War I brought an end to Germany's dominance of the doll world, and its wrecked economy stifled recovery in the years following. Despite this setback and the one that followed World War II, German companies continued to release innovative doll designs, such as the Bild Lilli character. Lilli dolls, first produced in 1955, were based on a newspaper cartoon series featuring a shapely, fashionable, and no-nonsense young woman. It was one of these novelty dolls, often sold in smoke shops rather than children's stores, that Ruth Hansen brought back to the U.S. in 1956, helping to form her prototype for the Barbie series, which debuted in 1959. Hansen's Mattel acquired the rights to Bild Lilli in 1964.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (lgbtq) college centers emerged in the early 1970's in response to student, faculty, and staff activism and demands for safe and protective spaces from heterosexism and homophobia. Despite 40 years of practice, however, little research has been conducted about these spaces. Recognizing the importance of lgbtq campus centers and the political and identity struggles within the movement that created them; this dissertation addressed this gap in research knowledge. Specifically, the study aimed to: (1) interrogate the power and influence of the leadership of lgbtq centers (directors and other primary leaders) via the exploration of the ways in which dominance in the form of "homonormative whiteness" is interrupted, disrupted, resisted, and (re)produced discursively and spatially through lgbtq campus-based centers; and (2) examine tensions that arised as directors and programs operationalize social transformation praxis models while maintaining their core purpose of safety and respite from heterosexism and homophobia. To explore these issues, I undertook a modified extended case study of six campus centers. The case study data included in-depth interviews with directors and center leaders, researcher observations, photographs, and hand-drawn maps produced by center leaders. The methodological approach was broadly critical and interpretive: specific analytic strategies included critical discourse analysis (spatial and dialogic). By examining the role of lgbtq center leadership discourse and center space in the (re)production and resistance of homonormative whiteness, this study contributes to several bodies of literature: (1) center development and practice; (2) intersectionality and praxis within student and community centers; and (3) social justice within higher education.

Genetically engineered mice carrying lab-built human chromosomes?
Yeast cells packed with artificial genetic material that enables them to produce, not bread, but a cellulose material that could make, say, a mobile phone? Surely this is the stuff of science fiction?
Except that it is not. The mice are already alive and kicking, thanks to research on new techniques for gene therapy. And the development of super-powered yeast (or a prototype of it, at least) is part of the plan for the £60m of state investment in "synthetic biology" that the Science minister is setting out today.
There is nigh unimaginable potential here – from medicine to fuel, from plastics to electronics. The question is not if the marriage of biology and engineering will change the world, it is when. The Government is right that Britain should lead the field – and right to use public money to help the fledgling industry along.Reuse content

CLYMER — The elementary faculty at Calvary Baptist Academy decided to take advantage of the snow by providing the students with a sled-riding activity recently.
Even though they have missed some days of school, the students still found time to make it outside to go sled riding. The kindergarten students, as well as grades one through six, enjoyed this escape from the classroom for a couple of hours. The mass amounts of snow that we have gotten took on a positive effect.

Despite the fact that snow often makes many people down and gloomy, the students still found a way to make it enjoyable and memorable.
In other areas, this week the students received their third-quarter progress reports, letting them know where they stand academically. The reports hopefully will encourage each student to continue working hard to achieve their best during the school year, with the hopes of earning a top grade at the year's end.

Apple's market cap has been worth more for a while, but now even a single share of AAPL stock is worth more than Google's, having reached that milestone today at 12:26PM EDT, as noted by Fortune's Philip Elmer-Dewitt. Boom.

Are we done with "apple is worth more than…" posts?
Gotta love it. The underdog stays ultra-popular, as it is well on its way to becoming the largest corporation in the world, while Microsoft has always been and continues to be hated, as it is becoming more and more of an afterthought in many a pie charts.
It's Apple and Google and the rest is in "Other", a distant third of three and no, Windows 8 will not save Microsoft. The real reason that OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is already announced and ready to challenge Windows 8 is the fact that Apple wants to steal as much attention from its competitor, which, granted, is still No. 1 in the desktop OS category, but Apple is sending a clear message that despite the fact that its Mac business is but a fifth of its mostly iOS-based revenues, but no less important in their overall strategy.
Yep…this is happening…and as many companies that used to thrive are either folding, getting run over, or slashed to pieces – by their own former CEO no less, right HP?. That said, customers all around the world do not seem to be bothered by this corporate giant, because they're getting treated better than they ever have been and receiving quality products that have resulted in unprecedented customer satisfaction ratings, which is not a new thing for Apple, it's just getting noticed by more people.
Comparing share prices is meaningless unless the number of shares outstanding for both companies is exactly the same. Boom.
Boom, bitch.
… but Android OS is winning because it leads smartphone market share at 50% and Apple's iOS is losing because it only has 75% of the mobile profits. Google is just pounding Apple to death and Droid Lovers are enjoying every moment of it. That little green trashcan mascot of Android must be very lucky for Google. If Ice Cream Sandwich ever reaches 5% on Android smartphones it will be curtains for the iPhone.
Are we done with "apple is worth more than…" posts?
No. It never gets old. In fact, it gets more satisfying for Apple shareholders to hear about, each passing day.
OLD news. AAPL surpassed GOOG a long time ago. Stock price doesn't matter. Market Cap and Percentage Change do.
Comparing share prices is meaningless unless the number of shares outstanding for both companies is exactly the same. Boom.
Yes Indeed

The Aeros nearly wasted another solid outing by left-hander David Huff Saturday afternoon at Canal Park. But this time the left-hander could care less.
This time, the Aeros came back to win 2-1 in 10 innings against visiting Harrisburg to snap a three-game losing streak.
Thus, instead of raising their winless streak to 0-5 with Huff on the mound, they instead handed him a much more palatable no-decision.
"I don't really care about my win-loss record as long as our team's winning,'' said Huff, who has now gone 17.1 innings without allowing an earned run spanning three starts. "So I don't have a winning record and a lot of no-decisions. I have no problem with that.''
Matt Whitney's two-out double down the right field line in the bottom of the 10th inning scored Michael Aubrey from first, with Aubrey safely sliding just under the tag of catcher Luke Montz before being mobbed by his giddy teammates.
But the call didn't rest well with Senators manager John Stearns, who upstaged the Aeros celebration by putting on quite a show in trying to change the mind of home plate umpire Brad Purdom. Stearns slammed his helmet, threw his gum and stalked Purdom belly-to-belly as he tried to exit the field.
But unlike Aeros manager Mike Sarbaugh, who was ejected with a quick hook the previous two games, Stearns' tantrum was allowed to go on - as was the one by Harrisburg's Jorge Padilla after being called out on strikes to end the sixth inning.
Taking the high road, Sarbaugh had little so say about the umpire's sudden cache of patience and opted instead to talk about Huff's impressive five-inning outing.
"He did a real good job using both sides of the plates and mixing in his off-speed pitches,'' Sarbaugh said.
After watching the Senators bombard his fellow pitchers for a combined 27 runs the previous two games, Huff limited them to one unearned run on a harmless single. He also struck out five, giving him a team-high 25 on the season.
"My thought coming in was that they were getting too comfortable in the box,'' Huff said. "I was trying to make them uncomfortable by working both sides of the plate and throwing my fastball up and in to shake things up a little bit.''
Harrisburg's run came in the fourth inning on a one-out walk that was parleyed into a run on Huff's throwing error to first while trying to nab Luis Jimenez on a dribbler down the third base line.
"Being a slow runner, I thought I could get him,'' Huff said. "The whole time (catcher Armando Camacaro) is going, 'No! No! No!', but I was so caught up in the moment I didn't really hear him.''
It didn't matter, as Akron's Brandon Chaves tied the game with a two-out solo home run to right field in the seventh - leaving the close contest in the hands of the bullpens.
Akron's T.J. Burton, Jeff Stevens and Randy Newsom pitched five scoreless innings to hold up their end of the bargain. Former Aero Jim Ed Warden took the loss for Harrisburg.

When is enterprise mobility not really ENTERPRISE mobility? (hint - most of the time!)
Posted by Tim Sheedy on December 17, 2009
- 461 Recommendations
- 0 comments
We often hear about how important enterprise mobility is to businesses. For years ICT events companies have been holding events about "enterprise mobility" and "the future of wireless" etc - and they have filled halls with attendees and sponsors/exhibitors.
But really - is mobility really that important to businesses? Weren't the people with "mobile" in their title the first to go when the global financial crisis hit? And point me to more than a handful of businesses whose business relies on their mobility capabilities.
I am constantly looking for good case studies of enterprise mobility implementations - where companies that have done something truly interesting - where the mobility element really added to the solution (as opposed to porting an existing capability or application to a mobile device or platform). And I am regularly told by the telco operators and handset manufacturers that they don't really have that many case studies... So I have to ask the question - has mobility in the enterprise lived up to the hype or the promise? And the answer appears to be a resounding NO.
I do agree that BlackBerries and iPhones have made huge inroads into businesses. I do not know that many companies that do NOT support one or another mobile device for e-mail and calendaring applications. And the ability to send and receive e-mails from the airport, kitchen or bathroom (!) has helped to increase the productivity levels of many people - and in some cases, has changed the way we work. But even then, I would question whether these services truly enterprise services?
I define an enterprise capability as one that the business cannot do without. PCs and laptops are an enterprise-level requirement for information workers - if their PC breaks they cannot do their job - hence the IT department has a system in place to replace or repair people's PCs if there is a problem - ensuring they can continue with their job.
Contrast that with an organisation that has deployed BlackBerries or iPhones or other smartphone devices. Most of these companies source their devices through mobile operators - and if something goes wrong with the device, they are treated in the same way as an consumer who has a broken phone: the device is sent for repair and the owner is told it will be back within 5-10 working days. If they are lucky they might be given some god-awful "dumb" phone as a replacement for the time the smartphone is being serviced.
So I ask - how important to the business is the "enterprise mobility" service if users are expected to go for two weeks without their device?
There are exceptions to this - I know of at least 2 major global organisations that buy their smartphones in bulk directly from resellers or distributors - and if there is a problem with a device they replace them on the spot. Some businesses have also negotiated preferential service contracts with their telecoms supplier to ensure fast turnarounds in device repairs and replacements.
So if your smartphones really are key to your business - if you truly cannot do without them - you will need a new way of sourcing and managing these devices. Perhaps treating them in the same way as you treat desktop and laptop PCs might be a good option. If this won't work for your business (i.e. you LIKE the fact that the operator subsidises the devices!) then perhaps organising a better servicing agreement with them would work for you. If, however, they are not truly enterprise mobility devices, then perhaps you should focus less on these smartphones, and more of your attention on areas that are key to your businesses success. And if this means politely telling the senior executive who has just read the "executive technology" section of the latest in-flight magazine that their requirements are not really that important, then so be it!

2006 DTS Noise issue
I have a 2006 DTS with 75,000 miles. I have a on and off again humming/pump type noise coming from the trunk area. It happens every 45 seconds to 3 minutes and lasts about 15 seconds. It appears to be coming from the rear passenger side in around the trunk area. Any ideas anyone?
Re: 2006 DTS Noise issue
You probably wont get many responses seeing as how this is the CTS forum but I have a buddy at work who has done a good deal of engine/body work on his 06 DTS. I'll see what he has to say.
Re: 2006 DTS Noise issue
I apologize that you are experiencing a humming noise coming from the trunk area in your DTS. I see that you are reaching out to the community to see if they have any opinions on what the sound is, but if you are interested in taking your vehicle to a dealership I would like to help. In order to assist you with this concern, I would need you to private message me your name, contact info, VIN, and dealership you would like to work with. Thanks for your time and I will look for your updates.

I don't know if it was an option of the DTS. But would it be the self leveling compressor?

Buttons next and the back, I thought everything was clear …
My postscript has been specially writhed for you, pebas. </blockquote
Sorry zigmat,my mistake.
Bets Regards.
I like the double span shadow ! Here's my criticisms:
- The next and back buttons are very confusing, especially since they don't do anything. - I think you should include a template of the actual blog page with comments. - You should dim the lines on the note paper, or else make sure the text aligns with them. As it is it's bad for readability. - You're kind of mixing metaphors. It looks like a notepad, but notepads usually don't have round corners, and you would need to add more shadows and details. Right now it looks a little weird because it's in between a realistic notepad and web 2.0 rounded corner boxes.
That a nice opinion. Thank you Koroshiya.
I already uploaded that item, but i will do a blog post demo.

Is it possible for a dark red mark on the chin from a boiling water burn into a scar?
hi, the other day I came out with a large blind pimple on my chin. To try to draw it out, I boiled the kettle and poured some of the boiling water onto a flannel to try and draw the infection/pimple out. Instead when pressing the flannel on the pimple, a layer or more of my skin peeled off my chin. It came off with the flannel and just rolled off! The skin underneath was red raw and took days to fade and not be noticeable. I am so so worried this will scar? is it a scar? thanks in advance!

Developing Guidelines for Designing for Deconstruction
Crowther, Philip (2000) Developing Guidelines for Designing for Deconstruction. In Deconstruction - Closing the Loop, May 2000, Watford, U.K.
|PDF (172kB)
This paper presents the preliminary findings of a research project that attempts to produce a set of guidelines that can be used to assist in designing a building for easy future deconstruction, or to asses an existing building or design to determine how easily it might be deconstructed to recover materials. Guidelines are being developed from industrial design practice, and from architectural technology employed in the past to achieve deconstruction. Guidelines can be used, along with an elemental breakdown of the building, to determine those parts of the building that will be easy to recover, and those that will not. If an environmental or financial assessment is also incorporated, a judgement can be made of those parts of a building that are worth recovering. In this way the deconstruction assessment can form part of a full life cycle assessment. Guidelines are presented according to the level or scale of deconstruction that they assist in, such as recycling, reuse or relocation. The guidelines cover issues of material type, component design, fixing methods, information management and sustainment, and handling methods. It is proposed that design for deconstruction can be implemented in the construction industry to improve the ease of future material and component recovery, and thereby increase the current rates of reuse and recycling.

BLANTYRE, Malawi (AP) — Pop diva Madonna, spending her fourth day in the southern African country of Malawi on Thursday, picked up ailing children and joked with them when she visited an overcrowded children's ward in Blantyre, the country's largest city.
"Muli bwanji? (How are you?)" she greeted them in Malawi's main language, Chichewa.
Madonna, with her son, Rocco, went to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, which she has been supporting for five years through its chief pediatrician, Dr. Eric Borgstein.
"Eric Borgstein is a hero of mine" said Madonna. "He is doing a wonderful job."
The ward performs at least 500 surgeries per year on poor children, said Borgstein.
Madonna is the largest individual donor to the hospital and funds programs run by Borgstein that include treating children with cancer, said Trevor Neilson, president of the Global Philanthropy Group that is managing Madonna's projects in Malawi.
Born and raised in Malawi, Borgstein said he studied medicine at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands before to returning to his home country. Borgstein said he has been working in children's health for 15 years, treating up to 40 patients daily. Malawi has only three pediatric surgeons, said Borgstein.
He is currently a partner of Raising Malawi, the non-profit organization Madonna co-founded with Michael Berg in 2006 to help Malawian children.
On Friday, Madonna is scheduled to visit Consol Homes Orphan Care Centre, 50 kilometers (31 miles) outside the capital, Lilongwe.
