With the objective to develop a firm base in the Indian market, youth garments major Pepe Jeans India Limited has decided to focus on below-the-line-initiatives for product promotion. The group has planned to sponsor and organise fashion shows, road shows and various style awards running through the year. Managing Director Chetan Shah said, the purpose was to position Pepe in Indian market as an affordable, stylish, comfortable and youthful brand.
Further elaborating the firm's strategy, he said that the latest advertising campaign of the product in India was international in nature. "There is no Indian model or agency involved. On one hand, while the advertising campaigns in print and electronic media will not be changed, the marketing strategy on the other hand, will be to partner and sponsor different style events in the country. Road shows will be conducted extensively across different colleges in India," added Shah. Pepe Jeans would sponsor the MTV Style Awards in October. Keeping in line with these activities the music band 'Junoon' was sponsored recently in South India.
Currently there are 30 Pepe Jeans outlets in India. The denim major is planning to add seven more by the end of this financial year. As Shah informed, almost 50 per cent of these stores were run by franchise partners.
However, in line with the refreshed initiatives, Pepe would launch a new range of accessories and clothing items almost every month to offer the Indian consumer a wider choice. A tie-up with Lycra has recently been worked out keeping this objective in view.

That would explain why Bibi doesn't know about it.
I think the story is true, a leak from the intelligence community that were thrown under the bus to cover up Libya. By leaking the talks, it threw a monkey wrench into the gambit to get deal done before the election.

During Kensu's travels, he came across some ancient ruins. While he was investigating there was a cave-in, and Kensu's right arm was severly damaged. It was then Kensu witnessed a shining spirit surronded in golden light. It spoke to him and said that it would restore his arm if he helped it by portecting the world against a future cataclysm. He accepted and his arm was more than just healed, it had been transformed into on of the greatest weapons ever. The spirit had entrusted him with augments containing the spirit's very essecence to increase his power even more. He is able to carry up to nine Chakra Crystal Augments in his arm at any time and the more of the same type or colour the more power he gets. He is also able to quickly switch them with ones he carries in his bag through a simple series of hand signs.
This is a list of the many types of augments he uses:
Red Heat Crystals
These crystals emanate red hot heat and are sometimes use by Kensu to cook things. During battle, Kensu uses them to cause extreme burns through punches or using his zanbato.
Red Fire Crystals
These crystals are used to shoot red-hot flames out of Kensu's hand and incenerate a target.
White Wind Crystals
These crystals create a blade of sharp wind that can easily cut through any substance. Kensu uses this crystal in his zanbato to increase the sharpness of the blade.
Black Fire Crystals
Also known as Amaterasu Crystals, these crystals are similiar to Red Fire Crystals except the flames are black and are much hotter. While these crystals are far more powerful than Red Crystals they take far more chakra to activate.
Blue Water Crystals
These crystals allow Kensu to shoot a large amount of water at an opponent. This water can also be compressed into bullets for rapid-fire. This type of crystal also allows Kensu to breathe underwater.
Crimson Inferno Crystal
This is one of the more powerful summon crystals. Summon Crystals summon great beasts to Kensu's aid, but there is a certain amount of time that they allowed to be in his world. This one summons a giant minotaur with a mane of pure flames and an axe that creates huge infernoes upon touching a surface. This summon stays around for about 10 minutes.
Azure Torrent Crystal
This is a water element summon crystal. This one summons a mighty serpent, covered in armored scales that are so hard that any punch or kick that connects it will make the opponent bleed, with the ability to create massive surges of water. Its time limit is also 10 minutes.
Teal Hurricane Crystal
This is a wind element summon crystal. It summons a giant teal bird that can create large gusts of wind by flapping its large wings. The bird is also incredibly fast and can fire compressed blasts of air from its mouth. Its time limit is also 10 minutes.
Brown Demolition Crystal
This is an earth element summon crystal. The summon of this crystal is huge creature composed of trees and hard minerals. By slamming its large hand on the the ground it is able to create earthquakes and also create large roots that sproutout of the ground to attack the enemy. The time limit for this one is 8 minutes.

I really like this girl she is an amazingly beautiful, sweet, intelligent person. Our first date went really well but we didn't have much physical contact. I think a good to end a second date would be with a warm hug followed by me gently touching my forehead against her forehead while say "I hope we do this again." This will test weather or not she is comfortable with me and hopefully leave her wanting more physical contact.
Do you think this is a good idea? Girls how would you react to this?

How can I send shopper's calculation from the Calculation Widget Addon to PayPal?Asked by ArtArtFaces on July 21, 2015 at 04:20 PM
I have made my order form, and the total order price calculated by your Calculation Widget. I just signed up a PayPal Business Account and tried integrating PayPal from the Payment Tools tab, but I'm stumped on how to associate it with that number shown in the Calculation Widget. Is this possible? Please help. Thank You!
Please disregard this question. I've figured it out. In the configuration for the PayPal tool, you have to select the custom field. In my case, the custom was Total Prices (The name of my Calculation Widget). Thanks! Good luck everybody!

This was a very time consuming and tough edit. I first shot the model on top of a high-rise building in Portland. In Photoshop CS6 I added the jets, planet and clouds via brushes and then blended the colors in Lightroom. Once I had the hues and colors even across the board I went back into Photoshop to overlay the American Flag and further blend the image to have a throwback Superhero, Wartime poster feel to it.

Have you doubted or questioned your religion ever? What's you religion? What made you doubt it? Where do you stand now?
Most Helpful Guy
I used to be agnostic, so i came to Christianity through rational deduction and logic. It is the only worldview that can provide an objective basis for the things we trust and take for granted when we don't think about things like the mind, ethics, our worldviews.
I came to the realisation based on a combination of history, philosophy, science so i'm very confident in the belief rather than if i mindlessly adopted them. I have questioned before but have found the answers through research and critical thinking and in fact they strengthened my beliefs.
(and yes, i have looked into all religions and beliefs including atheism)11|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
I was raised to be Christian and doubted that from around 11 years old. I didn't understand why people believed in something that seemed highly unlikely and hadn't been proved (there is evidence for both a god existing and not existing, just it hasn't been proved yet) and I didn't like the way my father preached about stuff without following it through and expected me to believe in it when I hadn't really been given an option. Also, I'm an ancient history student and I was always super interested in Greek myths and I remember being very confused that we consider those just to be fairytales and legends whilst I was expected to believe the bible was the truth. I guess it also had a bit to do with my sexuality later on, I couldn't get why a god would create people and say he'd love them always and then condemn them for being the way he made them. It just didn't make sense to me and I've been atheist ever since that whole big moral dilemma of 'am I a bad person if I don't believe? am I going to hell' which I gotta tell you, was not fun for an 11 year old to worry about.00|00|0

Renminbi Internationalisation: Precedents and Implications
- Authors
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
- Disciplines
While it is commonly assumed that there are no known precedents against which to benchmark the internationalisation of the Renminbi (RMB), this paper argues that the PRCs own development experience provides a useful perspective on the internationalisation debate. In particular it indicates that lessons can be learnt from both the successes and the shortcomings of efforts to internationalise the RMB in the 1970s. During this period state-owned banks in Hong Kong played a central role in mobilising finance for foreign trade. Access to Hong Kong's developed financial institutions allowed the PRC to maximise receipts from foreign trade as well as minimise the risks of undue swings in capital flows. The paper shows that although China no longer faces foreign exchange scarcity, economic reforms have not yet resolved vulnerabilities in China's financial institutions and as such Hong Kong's role in mitigating the risk of undue capital swings remains.

How much is "efficacy" worth? At a time when New York City's schools find their budget chipped away by the Mayor, Governor and Uncle Sam alike, when many buildings are in ruinous condition, when class size is rising and teachers lack books and supplies, any large educational innovation invites scrutiny -- even one ardently championed by an engaging new Chancellor in his honeymoon period.
As he has moved around the country, from Boston to Sacramento, Calif., to Tacoma, Wash., to New York, Rudy Crew has carried the philosophy and program of an organization called the Efficacy Institute with him like a talisman. Founded in Lexington, Mass., in 1985 by Jeffrey Howard, a Harvard-trained social psychologist, efficacy is based on two big ideas: that all children, especially minority youngsters, can learn vastly more than most do today and that the biggest barrier to their achievement is the low expectations their teachers and schools hold for them.
This philosophy is already ensconced on Livingston Street, as are senior aides to Dr. Crew who have close ties to the Efficacy Institute. The Chancellor says he has not yet decided whether to put all the city's teachers through the institute's formal training program, which begins with a four-day seminar that it terms "a powerful vehicle for changing attitudes about personal development."
Were New York to pay the institute's going rate of about $280 per person for such seminars, the direct cost would exceed $17 million, not including the far larger sums paid to teachers (or substitutes) for the days involved. Installing the efficacy curriculum in the schools themselves would be still more expensive -- and the time it consumes would presumably be subtracted from other subjects.
Setting aside the sizable question of how else such money might be spent, we can fairly ask what benefit New York's children may expect from this investment. Alas, as with so many other appealing education innovations, there is scant hard evidence that efficacy training for teachers raises the learning levels of their pupils. (Small studies in Peoria, Ill., and Detroit suggest that youngsters in classrooms using the efficacy curriculum did somewhat better in reading and math.)Continue reading the main story
We can find plenty of heart-warming anecdotes and positive feelings. And there's no denying that test scores rose handsomely during Dr. Crew's second year in Tacoma. But that city's schools were simultaneously overhauling their curriculum and standards and had no control group by which the impact of any one intervention could be gauged. Moreover, no difference was visible between schools whose teachers had received efficacy training and those still waiting for it.
In and of itself, that's not damning. After all, a favorite stratagem by which the education establishment fends off any bold reform that threatens it is by asserting that this mustn't even be tried until it has been proved! That attitude typically paralyzes all innovations save for the most marginal (and those accompanied by money from afar).
Still, one might expect that the Efficacy Institute, after more than a decade of work in school systems, would be able to display hard proof of the impact of its teacher retraining program. One might also expect that New York would not plunge into a complex and costly citywide endeavor without demanding proper evaluation after trying it on a smaller scale. (One sorry consequence of changing chancellors every couple of years is that none has time to test anything in an orderly way.)
Let's look more closely at the program's tenets which superficially resemble today's popular education slogan -- that "all children can learn." This follows from the observation that youngsters rarely learn much more than what the adults in their lives expect and oblige them to. That's the main reason efficacy calls for setting ambitious standards and taking a positive attitude toward students as they strive to reach them.
So far so good. How many of us, after all, will double our effort to speed around the track if the coach has already declared us incorrigible sloths? Thus the "little engine that could" was able to conquer the hill. And the impoverished Hispanic students in Jaime Escalante's Los Angeles math classes -- memorably portrayed in the film "Stand and Deliver" -- passed the advanced-placement calculus exam under the tutelage of a teacher who radiated confidence in their capacity to do so. But expectations alone don't yield learning. Indeed, during the heyday of education's "self-esteem" fad, research indicated that youngsters with the highest opinions of themselves also tended to have the lowest test scores. Successful education also demands well-conceived standards, a proper curriculum, high-quality materials, astute instruction, ample time, a conducive atmosphere (for example, a safe and watertight school) and having the rest of one's life in decent enough shape that one can concentrate on the three R's.
Mr. Escalante's math successes turn out to be 10 percent expectation, 20 percent superb pedagogy and 70 percent dogged hard work in school and out, week in and week out, by teacher and pupils alike.
The efficacy program doesn't prevent any of those other things from happening, but, save for standards, it doesn't pay much heed to them. More like a cult in which belief transcends all, or a pop-psychology movement like EST, efficacy beckons adherents into its tent for soul-baring, esteem enhancement and attitude adjustment but does not equip them with many tools.
Much of the attitude adjustment turns out to involve race, always a touchy topic but nowhere more than in urban schools with their mostly minority students and still mostly white teachers. This gets even knottier in communities whose youngsters span many ethnicities, for efficacy's focus is almost exclusively on black students. And it has a quasi-political mission in which self-help and separatism loom large.
Dr. Howard, whose separate for-profit firm provides diversity training to major corporations, envisions a "third movement" to succeed civil rights and desegregation in providing opportunity to young African-Americans. "The fact is," he writes, "white folks don't have a clue about what to do about these problems, and given any other priorities they can switch their attentions to, they will. So if these problems are going to get solved they have to get solved by a mobilized black community."
As for the school system's mostly white teachers, efficacy's message includes the unsubtle suggestion that what's wrong is mostly their fault -- that their lack of faith is what holds their minority pupils back. This isn't quite the same as telling teachers that they are racists but it signals something similar.
The problem with this view is that it pays no attention to the many classroom practitioners who have strong positive attitudes toward their students but lack essential tools for imparting knowledge and skills to them. Today, for example, nearly a third of American high school students take math, science and English from instructors who either did not major (or even minor) in those fields in college or are not certified to teach them.
How are young people to learn what they need to know from teachers who don't know much of it themselves -- no matter how lofty their sense of personal "efficacy"? One might think communities that can scrape together a bit of cash for education renewal would be wise to start with such basics.Continue reading the main story

Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette
Recipe by Japanese Delight
Saw this on Rachel Rey 30 min meals! She said that you can make the dressing with any jam you have. Haven't tried it yet but I plan to soon!!
Top Review by Abby Girl
This was just OK. When I first tasted it, I found that it had this sweet/oily taste to it. I really added a lot of salt and pepper to counter balance the sweetness. It would be a good everyday vinaigrette if the strawberry, balsamic vinegar and olive oil ration were fixed a bit. This was definately my "clean up" salad as I used "its and bits" of lettuce, mango, cuks, tomato, feta cheese, avocado and some dried blueberries. I think this dressing would be worth playing around with to get the right ratio!!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 teaspoons strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions See How It's Made
- Place jam in a medium bowl and whisk in vinegar then extra-virgin olive oil.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper.

I told this guy that I don't wear makeup and he was like but your one of the hottest girls in our grade so I was wondering if it's rare to be attractive without makeup? Have you seen girls without makeup that look good?
- Yes it's rareVote A
- No it's not rareVote B
Most Helpful Guy
It is extremely possible and more common than girls think but it depends on the guy. Many girls are just insecure and use the idea of "putting effort" into their appearance to feel a little better. But many guys actually prefer less makeup. My last girlfriend only wore makeup to large formal gatherings.10|11|0

I have been looking for a small Batman insignia fondant cutter to make Batman cupcakes for my son's bday. I have been able to find tons of cookie cutters online (etsy,etc..), but I noticed that they are all 3D printed. My assumption is that using 3D printing allows the seller to more easily customize items. My question is: Does anyone know if there are safety concerns about the types of plastics used for 3D printing? Are they food safe? Should I even care? Really, I am just using the cutter to cut out a bat so the contact time would be very minimal, no high temperatures or other factors that can increase leaching of chemicals into foods. I have found various information online, but am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or information/resources about this......Thanks

Best Toys for A 18 Month Old
At 18 months old, toddlers are enjoying their newfound freedom of walking (and running!) around and getting into everything.
This age was a ton of fun with my daughter. She just wanted to go, go, go!
I remember walking tons of stairs (she loved those!) and going down her Step 2 slide over and over.
18 months is a BIG age for big independence and developmental milestones.
It's crucial to keep their mental development flourishing, and toys can play a big part of that. There are so many options out there, we hope to help narrow it down for ya!
Other big things to remember at the 18 month stage:
- The "I do it!" syndrome is big at this age, as toddlers are beginning to understand how to do things and want to do it themselves.
- 18 month olds are beginning to speak more than one word at a time, with rapidly developing vocabularies (around 50-200 words at this point).
- They are also understanding basic instructions at this point, and mimicking mom and dad in some of the every day behaviors.
Here are some considerations for buying the best toys for a 18 month old:
Love for Music: Toddlers at this point are now dancing around to music and enjoying it!
Continued Physical Play: Toys like slides, cars and other things to ride are always a big hit at this age
Role Play & Pretend: New experiences are great at this age, so acting out real life at their level is a big learning opportunity.
Best Toys for a 18 Month Old: Love for Music
Music is a big component for this age since 18 month olds love to sing, move and dance around.
These are some great options below to encourage the dancing and the movement!
100 Singalong Songs For Kids CDLeapFrog Learn and Groove Musical TableToddler Sing and Play App for IpadMelissa & Doug Learn-To-Play Piano
Best Toys for a 18 Month Old: Continued Physical Play
18 month olds love, love, love toys where they can ride it, play it, or move around with it.
These are all great options that get them physically moving, practicing and developing different kinds of movement and balance.

Best Toys for a 18 Month Old: Role Play & Pretend
These types of toys are great for letting 18 month olds act in every day situations.
Pretending to cook in a kitchen, drive around in a pretend car, or pretend to be a fireman or mailman are all activities that are great for the imagination.
We've rounded up some great options for this area of development:

In yet another surprising development, noted producer Suresh Babu is making his moves quickly to develop a parallel Tollywood in Andhra region rather fighting for 'rights' in Hyderabad. As he said it umpteen times earlier, Tollywood will be moving, literally his efforts will make the industry surely move or else distributed.
From a time Suresh Babu is stressing that Nellore district could also become another hub for filmmaking. Though there is Ramanaidu Studios already in Vizag, he never iterated that the beach-city could be another big hub. Reason is here. Along with venture capitalist Srini Raju, our big producer is building a new film city at Tada town in Nellore District. Already 3000 acres land is purchased by this duo but Suresh Babu remained tight lipped about it. We came to know that this shrewd businessman wants to make Tada a big hub of films because that will not only help Telugu cinemas even the nearby Chennai people could come and shoot for their Tamil flicks.
As part of this film city, they are building almost all the infrastructure including recording studios, laboratories and two huge floors for shooting indoor. Also technical equipment including cameras, cranes and light-sound related apparatus will be available for rent. Apart from that many buildings that we see in present day Ramoji Film City are also being constructed. There is huge location advantage for Tada because of the Pulicat lake around and many other natural landscapes including beaches and greenery. In the next 18-20 months, this new film city is expected to become active.
As Hyderabad and Vizag locations are beaten to death in Telugu movies already, this new location and new studio will become an instant hit, feels Suresh Babu.

Philip Morris Raises Prices, Cuts Allowances
Parliament, Virginia Slims, Chesterfield and Merit brands will see an increase. Meanwhile, the company also cut promotional allowances on Marlboro and Basic.
By Mehgan Belanger
RICHMOND, Va. -- Effective Dec. 15, Philip Morris USA, a subsidiary of Altria Group Inc. and the largest cigarette maker in the U.S., raised its list prices for some of its brands, while also making promotional spending adjustments on other brands.
"We periodically change promotional allowances to address competitive trends in the marketplace. In some cases, that means more allowances in certain geographies and less in others," company spokesman David Sylvia told CSNews Online. "We are always looking at how we can best use promotional allowances to respond to trends. [These adjustments] fit with this strategy of moving promotional allowances around to meet trends."
Off-invoice promotional allowances at the wholesale level were cut by five cents per pack—or 50 cents per carton—on its Marlboro and Basic cigarette brands, Sylvia said. Meanwhile, reward funds for its Retail Leaders levels three, four and five, were cut by 50 cents per carton on Marlboro and Basic brands.
However, in some markets, the company increased special promotional allowances for those levels of retail participation on all Marlboro cigarette products, said Sylvia, declining to list the geographies due to competitive reasons.
List prices were raised by five cents per pack on the Parliament, Virginia Slims, Chesterfield and Merit cigarette brands, he said.
The price increases were "relatively modest and in-line with our view that only a modest net price increase to the manufacturers is likely for 2009," said Goldman Sachs tobacco analyst Judy Hong in a research note cited by Reuters.

By Jon Fucile
Twitter is a good way to bring fans together in one place to talk about the team they love and have good-natured battles with fans from opposing teams. You can send Tweets you like to all your followers, make your own and have private conversations with Montreal Canadiens fans as soon as theyre done setting their house on fire after a first period goal.
But if you really want to get into some good debates you need to make more friends! Today, we here at Wicked Good Sports are going to walk you through a few examples and better prepare you for the world of Twitter sports arguments.
Were sure youre sitting there saying I dont need tips Ill just be nice to everyone! You could not possibly be more wrong.
Take for example the start of the Bruins-Canadiens game Monday night. Our subject went right on the offensive as soon as the puck dropped:
Classic move! In this example, Montreal fans like to pretend their players are respectable and get SUPER upset if you make jokes about diving or faking injuries.
It also helps if you make reference to some recent history between the team. After the incident between Max Pacioretty and Zdeno Chara, Dr. Mark Recchi made a joke about how Pacioretty might have been exaggerating his injuries if he was at the movies a couple days later.
Because this is still a sensitive topic, our subject here is sure to get a lot of replies after that comment, increasing his Twitter awareness.
Next, start attacking players who are slumping, talentless or way over paid. If you can find a player on the opposing team that is all three you should certainly target them.
As that fool Bill Simmons has taught us, making silly pop culture references also seems to help with the insult. Science currently has no explanation for this.
Next, mock the tradition of the team and city and talk about the history that 90 of their current fan base wasnt alive for but still quotes every five seconds.
By this point your inbox should be FULL with comments about your mother, bad things happening to your behind and death threats. Sip some hot cocoa and laugh as the hate mail rolls on it.
Almost every dumb fan base like the one in this example only talks trash when their team is winning. Make sure to call them on that and invite more dialogue.
The goal here is to spark more conversation and this should do the trick.
Another important move is to call the opposing fan base on their hypocrisy as often as possible. In our case study today, Montreal fans love to talk about how the Bruins players are dirty. When a player from their team does something dirty, and believe us it WILL happen, make sure to mention it. The opposing fan base will LOVE it.
The opposing fans will make a series of illogical excuses so just laugh in their faces and carry on.
By now, your Twitter feed should be blowing up and you should be enjoying all the hate. At this point you need to forget any morals you may have and go for the throat. Mention something terrible that happened to the opposing team again and make casual jokes about it as if you dont care.
If Gwen Stefani were here, she would say that at this point the opposing fans will be going b-a-n-a-n-a-s! bananas!
When they start tossing bigoted statements your way, again mention how much their team disgraces the game and how much they suck. This will just twist the knife a little deeper and work them into a bigger frenzy.
Once you can literally feel their fury through the computer screen it is time to sign off and let them stew. Oddly enough, this will anger them more than if you stayed and harassed them more. Sign off with a parody of a song you like that talks about the opposing team.
Youll be super popular in no time!
Also, Montreal is the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

I wrote in my Chiefs' off-season preview that Tyson Jackson would be lucky if he got the 3 year 12.6 million dollar deal that the Chiefs gave teammate Mike DeVito last off-season. DeVito is a very similar player, a pure base 3-4 defensive end that excels against the run, but doesn't offer much as a pass rusher, but the difference is DeVito has more of a proven track record. DeVito was Pro Football Focus' 7th ranked 3-4 defensive end this season as a part-time player, including 4th against the run, while Jackson was 14th and 10th respectively in a similar role. DeVito was also in the top-10 among 3-4 defensive ends in a similar role with the Jets in 2010-2012, including top-5 positional run grade finishes in 2010 and 2011. Jackson, meanwhile, graded out positively just once from 2009-2012, after being drafted 3rd overall in 2009.
Given that, it's pretty absurd that Jackson not only matched what DeVito got, but greatly exceeded it, signing a 5 year, 25 million dollar deal with almost as much guaranteed money ($11 million) as DeVito received in total money. That's far too much to pay for a one-dimensional player who can't get to the quarterback, especially one who doesn't have a proven track record. The Chiefs seemed to wake Jackson up by slashing his salary for the 2013 season, but who is to say he doesn't coast now that he has all this guaranteed money in his pocket and revert to the bust of a former 3rd overall pick he was from 2009-2012? Thomas Dimitroff is a great GM, but this move reeks of Scott Pioli, who was recently hired as the Falcons' assistant general manager and who reached for Jackson with the 3rd overall pick in 2009.

- This is a protest poem for the Jena 6 incident and its ramifications. I am not one to write overtly political poems, but I've wanted to write this for a long time.
- It was much easier to write than last night's poem.
- I feel a great sense of relief that this poem is in the world. The piece is meant to start dialogue, so feedback is appreciate about the poem itself or the issues it raises, as long as the comments are given in the spirit of sharing and healing.
- I don't claim to have any answers.
- The lines are not breaking correctly in Blogger.
Whew! Sorry for the long explanation.
"I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. If the protests at the school do not stop, with the stroke of my pen I can make your lives disappear."
~ Jena, Louisiana District Attorney J. Reed Walters as he addressed Jena High School students in an assembly last fall.
Because of the stroke your pen, we are here:
the people you sought to abort from history
with a thick white rope.
My friend, we'd like a word with you.
Every day the past tightens around our necks
and its low, constant hum is a new Jena tree
taking root somewhere else.
This is more than a prank. A beating.
It is the geometry of hate, the tip of a scale,
a reminder that inalienable rights are, indeed, alienable,
and that equality, justice, respect, and opportunity
are still not available to all under the law.
We may have come on different ships
but we're all in the same boat.
My friend, the boat is sinking.
Because of the stroke your pen, we are here
to bring you the bodies
that swung and hung exclamation points
against a terrible wind.
So this is a poem for those who think it's funny to drop a noose from a branch.
This is for those who claim they have our best interest at heart but don't,
and this is for those who do.
This is for those who thought the unmaking of flesh would be our undoing.
This is for those who were flimflammed, swindled, railroaded, bamboozled, duped, set-up, double crossed, hoodwinked, and flat out lied-to.
This is for the 40 acres. The mule.
For the women we never looked at and the girls we never raped.
For those in the wrong place at the wrong time,
which was always. Which was never.
For the nameless, homeless, stranded souls who cannot be identified by DNA testing.
For the more than 4,700 people lynched in America.
We ask how many more lives will be thrown away because nothing was done?
And for those who say we should just forget the whole thing,
we say NO. Hell no. Not this time.
May memory grant you mercy
because we won't give you anything—
not our dignity or our shame
not even the last word,
because by the stroke your pen, we are here.

Here's a wonderful interview Bronson gave to his friend Aaron Stipkovich in February, when the first season of The Bronson Pinchot Project was premiering. It's wonderfully long and filled with great moments, check it out here: http://www.andmagazine.com/content/phoenix/12293.html
The video has been made private for the second time. Hope everyone got to watch it while it was public!

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles these days. You purchased your Silverado 3500 because its dependability and long-lasting quality struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Auto enthusiasts know that a trusted name is built into each Chevrolet, and understand that only the best replacement Silverado 3500 parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. Chevrolet vehicle drivers have come to expect a certain level of reliability when driving their Silverado 3500 around town.
We may take this for granted, but it wasn't until the 1950s that vehicles were equipped with reliable air conditioning. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the A/C condenser on your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 acts like a radiator (it also looks like one) by cooling the refrigerant after it leaves the compressor, and then sends it to the drier and expansion valve. You can locate your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 A/C condenser sitting right in front of your radiator, because that is the best place for it to absorb the air stream as your car or truck moves down the road. If you notice the A/C condenser is leaking, then you will likely notice your air conditioning blowing lukewarm air as a result of the lack of refrigerant.
Bring your Silverado 3500 back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a A/C Condenser repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Chevrolet Silverado 3500 part for your needs. All the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 A/C Condenser parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001. Choose your year below to refine your search.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/5/2013 (1549 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
IF you're considering moving downtown as soon as a major grocery store opens in that area, you might want to buy some really, really, really green bananas.
Peter Kaufmann, a real estate broker at CBRE and the author of a soon-to-be-released report on the feasibility of a downtown grocer, said not only is there no magic bullet to fix the dearth of fresh produce and meat in the central business district, but entrepreneurs aren't lining up for the chance to get in the game, either.
A former city councillor, two-time Winnipeg mayoral candidate and longtime grocer, including part-owner of Kaufmann Foods at the corner of Donald Street and Broadway until 1999, Kaufmann knows of what he speaks. He predicts it will take somebody "courageous" to start a grocery store in the heart of downtown.
"It has to be somebody who can see the long-term picture and has a bit of money behind them. It's not going to be an easy thing," he said.
A downtown grocery store would look nothing like any of its suburban counterparts. About 10,000 square feet would be ideal, Kaufmann said, but the financial requirements are daunting.
"It would have to do $80,000 to $100,000 a week, or $6 million to $7 million a year in business, just to get it going and they won't be making much money. The margin in groceries is such that a net profit in a very successful grocery store would be in the two per cent range," he said.
A store would likely require an investment of at least $2 million to pay for new equipment and the latest bells and whistles, Kaufmann said. A would-be owner would likely need $600,000 to $700,000 of their own money to be able to borrow the balance.
"Then it's pretty precarious. You need the right landlord, the right rent and then you've got to pay business tax and property tax," he said.
Kaufmann's report could be released as early as this week and the man who commissioned it, Ross McGowan, president and CEO of CentreVenture Development Corp., is anxious to see it.
As old warehouses were converted into condominiums over the past 15 years and newer projects, such as the Glasshouse, are coming on board as part of downtown Winnipeg's rebirth, the one constant has been the need for a grocery store to support the 16,000 -- and growing -- people who live downtown.
The challenge has become more acute since the recent closures of Zellers in the Bay building, Extra Foods on Main Street and Food Fare on Arlington Street.
It has always been a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg situation, though. Residents need a grocery store before they'll move downtown and a grocery store needs a certain amount of business for it to be viable.
"We have committed to working with the various stakeholders to address the shortage of a grocery store," McGowan said.
No steps will be taken, he added, until he and his team are able to digest Kaufmann's report.
Even if a prospective buyer and a piece of property can be matched up shortly, it would still take 12 to 18 months before it would open, he said.
The grocery landscape has changed significantly since Safeway closed its downtown location at Broadway and Donald in 1979. Not only do fewer people make weekly grocery outings to fill their cupboards and pantries -- they tend to make fewer, smaller trips -- but large chains have become much more dominant in the market.
"Back then, 30 per cent of groceries were sold by independents, now it's less than 15 per cent," Kaufmann said.

This is an amazing song from a movie called Late Summer Blues (בלוז לחופש הגדול). It translates to something like, "Yosi, my quality child". In the movie, a young soldier named Yosi gets recruited into the paratroopers unit in the IDF and is killed in a training exercise. His friends sing this song for him at an end-of-school assembly.
