My Post:
Hope all had a good Christmas – unfortunately, Not for a 24 year old White woman in Baltimore. When waiting at the cash register to make a purchase a black male came up and grabbed her from behind – and then brutally cut her throat with a knife. The assailant cut her throat down to her spinal cord severing her major arteries. 15 Blacks in store left. Didnt try to help or talk to cops. Nice. Google Woman Stabbed to Death at Liquor Store Aysha Ring MSM IGNORES STORY
Your Post:
hope you all had a good new year – unfortunately, not for Oscar Grant III, a male who was lying face down on the floor co-operating with a policeman & the policeman took it upon himself to shoot him dead. policemen are supposed to protect not kill.
i miight start hating & abusing every White policeman i see from now on…. or then again i might just think, i cant hate all White policemen for what one officer did, that would be just plain pathetic!
You had mentioned that you didn't know anything about Oscar Grant – but that you had "just googled it to make a point". I think your point is that you can't judge an entire group from the actions of one.
You wound up making an entirely different point though – one perhaps unintended. Read on and I will tell you what point you actually made.
My post was intended to illustrate that the mainstream media is racially selective in its reporting. Often deciding not to report on even particularly heinous racially motivated crimes committed by Blacks against Whites. And to make people aware one specific racially motivated brutal murder of a White woman by a black man that she did not even know.
My post was also intended to communicate to readers that in media "Perception equals Reality". Media editors decide content and content influences perception. Using a simple mathematics analogy, the question arises as to whether media editors are intentionally manipulating the "perception" side of the equation to influence your reality.
Of course they are.
An interesting paradox concerns the massive reporting that plane crashes receive. Plane crashes are statistically extremely rare, but practically everyone is made aware anytime one happens – national headlines abound. Auto accidents are relatively commonplace and do not receive much national media attention, if any. Perhaps the fact that Blacks commit terrible crimes against Whites is just so commonplace that it just isn't worthy of a national headline. But Whites committing terrible crimes against Blacks (such as was alleged in the infamous Duke Rape Case) are so rare they are essentially over-reported and easily make national headlines? Google "Duke Rape Case" unless you are already familiar.
White Guilt Propaganda & The Culture of Blame
Some say that there is an intentional White Guilt Propaganda campaign raging in our mainstream national media. Guilt has certainly been used as a political weapon of mass destruction before and was used to "de-Nazify" post war Germany.
Many people have a gut reaction to the "Holocaust". That word alone evokes guilt, righteous indignation and pity. It was designed to evoke guilt from Germans, righteous indignation from Jews and pity from everyone else.
Now just replace the word "Holocaust" with "Slavery and "Racism". This is the primary tactic used by civil rights activists in the US.
Look, there's a White person – Let's Play the Blame Game
How does this work? Blacks try to convince Whites to feel shame about slavery and that they as White people are responsible. Never mind that most White people did not own slaves. Never mind that African Blacks were complicit in the slave trade and that it was African Blacks that captured and sold other African Blacks into slavery.
The jews were the Slavers
Never mind that slavery was a jewish industry. Never mind that the slave ships were owned by jews and the slave auctions were run by jews. Never mind that the major sugar and cotton plantation in the South were owned and run……by jews.
Read up on what Louis Farrakhan has to say about "Blacks and jews". It's not the "kosher" version of history….it's the truth.
89 Years
Never mind that slavery existed in the US for 89 years and White people ended the slave trade. Never mind that 29% of the free black population of New Orleans owned and abused slaves. That's 3000 black slave owners of black slaves in New Orleans. Never mind that slavery never ended in Africa and that Blacks are still selling other blacks into slavery today. Never mind that it will probably take White intervention to end slavery in Africa. This kind of manipulation does not work between parties with equivalent moral standing and is why Blacks avoid any mention or proof of complicity or shared responsibility. In addition to invoking the guilt response in Whites, many Blacks simultaneously harbor righteous indignation and use that emotion to justify violence, rioting, etc.
Guilt is also often used in personal relationships as a manipulative tool. Some people are really good at using guilt as a weapon to get what they want. And our schools are actually spreading White Guilt Propaganda so that White kids are made to think that they are in some way responsible for slavery, racism, etc. Disturbingly, it is having a damaging effect on the self esteem of White children. They are being brainwashed into a conditioned response in their future dealings with Blacks to willingly allow themselves to be taken advantage of. The problem is that many common themes used in White Guilt Propaganda are exaggerated or outright lies.
Many White people are actually starting to realize that they have been maliciously taken advantage of by Blacks. More and more White people are seeing White Guilt Propaganda for what it is. Disingenuous propaganda with a purpose. Predictably, the normal reaction for anyone to having been manipulated and taken advantage of is righteous indignation. And righteous indignation has its own consequences.
15 Black Patrons
My post also pointed out that there were 15 black patrons in the store at the time of the murder (5200 Baltimore National Pike, Baltimore, MD). There were 15 black patrons in the store at the time of the assault who were in a position to provide some sort of material aid or comfort to the victim.
None of them did.
"The woman was waiting in line to pay when a man came up behind her, grabbed her from the rear, reached forward, cut her throat and then turned and walked out," said Bill Toohey, Baltimore County Police spokesperson.
So what do you think it was like for Aysha Ring – what do you think it was like for her to be innocently standing there one moment, and then instantly suffer a massive neck wound?
Do you think she "just fell down and died"? Or do you think it was a little more horrific than that? We've all stood in line, maybe a bit impatiently just waiting to pay for something – but what if all of a sudden someone you weren't even aware of just grabs you from behind and cuts your throat? Just like that. No words. No warning. Knife slashes through your skin, your muscle, your veins and your arteries. Would it hurt? Would the shock of it make it difficult for you to immediately tell how bad it is – as a sea of blood gushes from your gaping wound? I'm hurt….how bad is it? You try to scream. Your hands go to your neck – all you see is blood. Blood everywhere and its getting worse, not better. You feel your own blood flowing down your throat – you gag trying to force it out of your lungs so you can still breathe. You panic and stagger – searching for help, trying to stop the blood as forces its way between your fingertips soaking all your clothes, onto the floor – onto everything. More blood than you've ever seen…you can't stop it. There's screaming but its not your screams. They are the screams of others. Yours just sound like gurgling. You're dying… and you know it…. You are aware of people coming toward you. Maybe they'll help. No – they avoid you and pass you. To the side, some stepping in your life blood and tracking it out the door behind them as they leave. Precious minutes pass. Not just seconds. Minutes. Then what happens? Your blood pressure drops to a point where you pass out. And you're still bleeding.
Are you dead yet? No.
Is anyone helping you?
No. Has anyone helped you? No.
Bystander Effect – or Justice Served?
There may be no legal duty to help someone who is struggling to live as a result of an underserved attack – but there is a moral duty to help. A moral duty that a random group of 15 black people collectively avoided. Was this just a case of "Bystander Effect"? (Google "Bystander Effect" for more info)
Bystander Effect is a social psychological phenomenon in which any specific individual is less likely to offer help in an emergency situation when other people are present. There are two important components to Bystander Effect. One is a sense of diffusion of responsibility and the other is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. Certainly, diffusion of responsibility may account for the collective sense of shock and resultant lack of help. But what about behaving in a socially acceptable way? Why was it apparently "socially acceptable" for a group of Blacks to leave a White woman with a terrible neck wound? That group of Blacks did two things. They collectively withheld help to a desperate White victim and they all left the scene. Why did they all apparently feel that is was "socially acceptable" to leave the scene before help arrived?
As this White woman undoubtedly clutched her neck in agony as torrents of blood spilled to the floor, was there a collective sense that justice for Blacks was somehow being served? If so, the scope of the problem evidenced here is almost unimaginable. A problem so vast and so deep that it may well be irreparable.
None of the black patrons tried to help the White woman. Some even stepped over the woman as she bled from her neck arteries as she was dying. The woman was likely conscious for a while as it takes some time to die that way. Conscious, as black people from the very community where she worked, and whose people she worked to help through her job at a school devoted to inner-city Catholic education…stepped over and around her and just let her die.
Maybe she would have died anyway due to the severity of her wounds. But someone could have at least tried to pinch off her arteries with their fingers to try to stop the bleeding as much as they could. Failing that, someone could have at least tried to apply external pressure to the wound. Failing that, someone could have at least stuck around to provide moral support to the victim. Failing that, someone could have at least waited around for the police and ambulance to arrive.
Nobody did.
I suspect that if there were at least a few White patrons present…someone would have tried at least ONE of those things – no matter the race of the victim.
I was not judging an entire group from the actions of one individual. I was making an observation of the actions of an entire group. It just so happens that one defining characteristic of that group was their race.
Perhaps you can explain the reasons for this group behavior. I believe that out of a group of 15 random White patrons similarly situated – it is extremely unlikely that ALL of them would shirk their moral duty to help and step over a White woman or a black woman as she bled from her neck arteries. Leaving her to die there alone.
Oscar Grant
By now you may have actually googled "Oscar Grant Criminal Record" and discovered that what I discovered. Since you are the one who picked Oscar Grant as a representative case of injury done to Blacks by Whites, lets investigate the Oscar Grant situation a bit further.
Oscar Grant had a juvenile criminal record – details of which are not available due to the fact that juvenile criminal records are sealed. Once Oscar Grant reached majority, he was involved in at least 12 different criminal cases according to Alameda County Courthouse records. He had also just been released from State Prison in November of 2008.
To better understand Oscar Grants reality, consider that Oscar Grant died when he was 22 years old. He had been an "adult" for 5 years or about 60 months (I don't know Oscar Grants birthdate). During that 5 year period, he had been arrested 12 times at a minimum. 60 months divided by 12 is 5 months. Construing facts most favorably to Oscar Grant, he managed to get arrested and charged for one criminal case about every 5 months. But wait, its worse than it seems. Oscar Grant was unavailable to be arrested for at least a portion of that 60 month period. Oscar grant resided in State Prison during 2007 and 2008. One of the pre-requisites for admission to State Prison (vs. County Jail) is a sentencing period of at least one year. No less.
Oscar Grant was riding on the specific train, and in the specific car in which there was a violent event. Someone on that car was alarmed enough about the violent event that they felt the need to call 911 and report it as an emergency. Police detained several people from the train. During the detention event, bystanders were yelling at the police and some were physically approaching the officers in a threatening way (see the videos). There appeared to be some sort of difficulty getting Oscar Grant cuffed – no problem with the others who were seated along the wall next to Oscar Grant.
The police officer who had just cuffed Oscar Grant drew his weapon. His weapon discharged into Oscar Grants back. The shooting appeared to be accidental. The BART police are issued Sig Sauer .40 caliber pistols. Sigs and Glocks do NOT have separate external safety devices as do certain other types of pistols such as the Colt 1911. Sig pistols are equipped with a de-cocking device (search google for details). Mis-use of the de-cocking device can result in an accidental discharge. Sig pistols (as all pistols) can be accidentally discharged depending on how they are handled.
Oscar Grant was not just waiting in line at a store when a White police officer came up from behind to shoot him in the back. There is no moral equivalency or comparison to be made between these two cases. But clearly, neither of these victims deserved to die.
Now lets turn to Aysha Rings reality. As mentioned earlier, she worked at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Baltimore, MD. Cristo Rey provides a rigorous college preparatory education to students from primarily black families from Baltimore and is specifically devoted to helping "low-income", "inner-city" youth only. A clearer picture of the environment appears when considering the actual ethnic breakdown at Cristo Rey: African American: 71%, Multi-racial: 14%, Latino: 7%, Caucasian: 6%, Other: 1% and Asian: less than 1%.
So why was Aysha Ring there? Why did she want to help Blacks? Was it because she recognized where so many of our social problems are coming from and was still idealistic enough to think that she could make a difference? Was it because she felt pity for Blacks who are destroying their own environment and ours? Was it because she felt some vague sense of guilt because of the practice of slavery so long ago? Did she buy into the black Culture of Blame along with its component of Black righteous indignation? What role did the effects of White Guilt Propaganda play in her decision to place herself in mortal danger by circulating among a high concentration of Blacks? I can't answer that question. Aysha Ring could have told us – but she is dead now. I suppose there if there is a silver lining to this story, maybe it's that at least she wasn't raped first and then murdered.
Black people are promoters of what can only be called the Culture of Blame. They, along with sympathetic kool-aid drinking Whites blame Black failures on Whites, on Hispanics, on Koreans…on anyone and everyone but themselves. My message to Blacks is that they need to embrace the concept of personal responsibility. They need to realize that their reality and fate has everything to do with their own choices and their own actions.
The bitter irony is that the only reason why the White woman Aysha Ring was in that black community in the first place was because she worked at a school whose sole reason for being – was to help the people of that community.
In my opinion, the moral of the story to White people is – don't bother even trying to help Blacks. Don't buy into the whole White Guilt Propaganda campaign. It exists only to separate you from your valuables, and may even cost you your life. Realize that Blacks have been playing Whites for fools. And that the black Culture of Blame has created a massive and unearned income stream for Blacks, at the expense of Whites. If you try to help Blacks, you only place yourself at risk. Blacks don't deserve your help, they need to help themselves. Many of them actually they hate you even though they don't know you and you never did anything to them. Some will intentionally physically harm just because you a White, and don't count on black bystanders to lift a finger to help you if you are in need.
The message to White police officers (and all police officers) is to do everything possible to avoid accidentally discharging your weapon. Google "Accidental discharge Sig Pistol" and see what you find. The message to all young people who encounter the police is to simply comply with police instructions and avoid at all costs escalating a confrontation.
The unintentional point you made was that perhaps Aysha Ring and Oscar Grant are indeed good examples of the nature of violence between White people and black people in America.
In one case we have a White woman who was working to help black people who was intentionally killed by one of the very people she was trying to help. And in the other case, we have a black person who was (probably) accidentally killed by a White police officer who was responding to a 911 emergency.

"But, imagine paying ridiculous amounts in taxes, and then see the healthcare system fail you."
kublakhan1984 you just described the situation in Canada to a T. "If a man is not a socialist at 20, he has no heart. If he is still a socialist at 30, he has no brain."

What exactly is a "black" person?
Is a "black" person defined as anyone having any negro genetics at all?
To be considered a "black" person do you have to be 10% "black", 20% "black"….40%
What amount of negro genetic admixture defines a "black" person?
What's the actual definition?
In South Africa – most American "blacks" are considered to be "colored". Not "black".
"Colored" people are racially mixed negroes…for example, a "mullato' is half negro and half caucasian.
A "quadroon" who is 1/4 negro and 3/4 caucasian.
No – Obama is not a "mullato" – he's a "jewlato" because he's half jewish – not "White" at all.
Why do I ask about the negro admixture issue? Because genetics play a very significant role in intelligence and behavior.
In the US, being "black" is really being a member of a political group enabling the acquisition of unearned income.
Yes, the "black" political party in the US is enjoying what can only be described as "Negro Privilege".
What's "Negro Privilege"?
Negro privilege is a Jewish-devised scheme that seeks to artificially elevate undeserving negroes into societal positions that they objectively do not merit. This practice operates as an unseen, invisible, and unquestioned pervasive norm in society today. It is the proverbial "fart in church".
I call on negroes to interrogate their own ineptitude and how their chronic under-performance has falsely enabled them. I call attention to how the mechanisms of Jewish racist false enabling policies that operating to artificially elevate negroes are damaging our nation.
I call on white people who support Jewish-instigated negro privilege to interrogate their own pathological value system and how they erroneously justify false enabling practices based on race and not merit.
I call upon those same white people to realize that they strain to treat negroes differently based upon their race – and that by definition they are the true racists.
By looking closely at the subtleties of Jewish-devised negro privilege, I issue a call for all negroes to own up to their unearned and undeserved privilege and replace their Negro Culture of Blame with the White Culture of Personal Responsibility.
We must confront environments that condone or perpetuate Jewish negro privilege.
Only an honest airing of this destructive practice will enable a clear and honest confrontation with this trenchant and vexing concern.
Man Paul stepped his interview game up this time!!! Schooled him!!!
French Canadian
Approximately 34 million criminal acts were committed in the U.S. in 1992–about 94,000 crimes daily.
This is a Justice Department estimate.
We don't know the exact number, because many, if not most, crimes are not reported.
We do know, however, that the national crime rate-crimes per capita-has tripled over the past 30 years, and at least 71 percent of all violent crimes involve some kind of economic loss.
Prior to 1986, Hispanics were classified as a distinct and separate racial group. Not anymore.
jewish CONTROLLED GOV COUNTS HISPANICS AS "WHITE"
The FBI and U.S. Census Bureau no longer distinguish between Hispanics
(who are actually Spanish speaking Indians for the most part) and Whites;
their crimes are lumped together in one ethnic pot.
The 22,354,059 Hispanics living in the U.S. do not exist, at least not in the ethnic sense when it comes to the FBI compiling criminal statistics for mainstream and news organizations.
Included by the FBI as "WHITES" is not only Hispanics, but also West Asians, Jews, Middle Easterners, North Africans, Iranians, Iraqis, Libyans, Palestinians, and refugees from the former Soviet Union. The question that immediately comes to mind is: "Why would the FBI and the U.S. Census Bureau classify persons of Hispanic origin as being white?"
The answer might surprise you. The FBI and the U.S. Census Bureau, along with jewish media purposely distort criminal statistics and conveniently classify Mexican-Americans as white because they do not want the American public to know the truth–that Blacks are responsible for committing the vast majority of crimes here in the United States.
Buy good health insurance before you get sick, and you'll be golden. Or, just brush your teeth…then you won't have to go into debt to get your tooth pulled out! People would take better care of their health if they knew they had to pay for insurance. We are keeping lung cancer patients alive who don't even have the decency to stop smoking! That's where your taxes will be going, and that's how your country will continue to go into debt if they push nationwide healthcare.
Damn ron paul was in the zone in this interview.
I don't need to live in America, I know healthcare isn't the greatest there either. But, imagine paying ridiculous amounts in taxes, and then see the healthcare system fail you. Now, also imagine paying high taxes for healthcare, and then watch your elderly grandfather wait for hours (in pain) in order to be seen at the emergency room. Let me keep my taxes, and I would prefer to pay for services, rather than wait for him to die for "free" services.
Nah he is perfect the way he is. Fuck these fools if they don't vote for him because they get what they deserve. He can't dumb it down more than he already has.
In Japan I learned a saying, "Tada wa ichiban takai." = Free is the most expensive!

I feel so sorry for Ron Paul. He's trying really hard, yet going nowhere. He really does care about the Country, in regards to the Country's own welfare. Just a little too on the liberal side, and he seems to present ideas of anti-federalism. I'm not too sure if I'm all up for the states regulating everything. That's was the problem in the beginning before the constitution…
loved the British bit from Paul against this robot
Ok try living in America. The only place you can get medical care is in the emergency room of a hospital. ANY kind. If you don't have insurance private physician practices will not even let you in their office or see you—not even for a small injury. of course they claim a Hippocratic Oath–harm no one. Come down to mighty America–home of the free and filthy rich-and see how fun it is compared to your system. We have the best trained, best equipped, and the most EVIL doctors you've ever seen.
The government has nothing to do with heath care. the private insurance companies and the HMOs lobby corrupt political officials and they have made it fully privatized. havent you been following the legislation? Right now, government provides ZERO healthcare. You people baffle me.
statist and corporate? no wonder this county is fucked. how can a private corporation be a tool of statism in the socialist model? In socialism, you dont use money. Do you know what are you talking about? lol I'd rather pay higher taxes and get healthcare out of it than go into thousands of dollars of debt to get my damned tooth pulled.
So which is it Ron Paul? Private sector or government health care? Does anyone feel we need anymore deregulation? lolol Can we trust men to be honest traders in which supply and demand create a competitive system in which one person makes greater wealth than another? Take a look at the all monopolies. They were once small companies, then they get bigger, and bigger, and then they take over. the answer is no. men are greedy animals and we are one of the few species that exploit their own kind.
A smart man.

I hope this makes you laugh, but as I was unboxing the new China Glaze Sunsational Collection to prep it for swatching, my husband looked over and said he really liked the colors. Obviously, he just knows TOO MUCH about beauty in this house, because he commented a second time—hours later, when I was editing the photos. "Ooh, I really like that collection!"
I kid you not.
So this collection is already Mr. Beauty Junkies approved! But will it be Beauty Junkies reader approved? I'll have to let you decide on that for yourself—but I'm happy to be able to bring you these 12 new shades.
China Glaze Sunsational Collection
Sunsational is like two collections in one. Six of the shades are jellies, and six of the shades are cremes. With that in mind, I've broken them down into two sections in the swatches, so you can see what shades are of which category. If you're not a jelly fan, I urge you to steer clear of those shades in the store, because looks can be deceiving in the bottles. There were a few that I couldn't even decipher from a creme until application—please keep that in mind and double check if you've picked a jelly or creme before purchase.
On the other hand, this is a well-rounded, vibrant, and fun collection. I found the cremes to be dang near flawless! Just my personal preference—I choose the cremes over the jellies, but it's only because I'm not the hugest jelly lover. (Not because these are bad jellies.)
In terms of consistency however, I do want to note with the jellies:
- Isle See You Later is the thinnest polish of the collection. It may even take three coats before you're happy with it.
- You Drive Me Coconuts is probably the thickest jelly I've ever had. Two coats of it gives nearly full coverage.
- Are You Jelly? gives really good coverage and had the most perfect flow of all 6 jellies.
Each swatch was performed with two coats of polish, and one coat of Seche Vite. (My favorite top coat!)
That's Shore Bright — medium purple creme
Bottoms Up — bubblegum pink creme
Neon & On & On — coral pink creme
Too Yacht to Handle — vibrant teal creme
Highlight of My Summer — bright mint creme
Sun of a Peach — bright peach creme
Keepin' It Teal — turquoise jelly
Are You Jelly? — bright grape jelly
Isle See You Later — marine blue jelly
Shell-O — coral-pink jelly
You Drive Me Coconuts — neon pink-purple jelly
Heat Index — neon pink jelly
Will you be picking up any of the shades in the China Glaze Sunsational Collection?

- Google generated $54 billion of economic activity for American businesses, website publishers and non-profits in 2009.
Nowhere was Google's innovation and generosity more visible than at an event they hosted this morning at Clive Coffee.
Sure, they lavished guests and reporters with free coffee, orange juice, and a magnificent breakfast spread. They even gave us embossed moleskins and big thick Google pens. But that's missing the point. The point is what amazing things they've done for small businesses.
Tucked into the warehouse of the SE Portland coffee roaster and equipment dealer were Google execs, bloggers, reporters, and public-relations people. I mingled with these ad-world power players while wearing my shiny new executive nametag
, which made me feel like a real reporter. Clive Coffee owner Mark Hellweg spoke about how the California-based benevolent search deity helped him earn money to sell his incredibly good coffee. Later, I got a bag of it for free.
- Aside from being a well-known search engine, Google is also the world's best advertising company. These moleskins are also top-quality. I'm jotting notes in mine right now.
"We started our business in October 2008, just as the economy was really getting bad," said the handsome and eloquent Hellweg. "Cook's Illustrated recommended the Dutch Technivorm coffee machines that we sell, and people went to Google to look for them. We spent $1,000 on Google AdWords, and started selling a lot of coffee makers."
Hellweg has benefitted so much from Google's services—on which he spends 75% of his marketing budget—that he's opening Clive Coffee's first retail location this summer. I hope he does incredibly well. My gift bag contained a handwritten thank-you note from Hellweg, which I'm magneting to the file cabinet as we speak.
- Mark Hellweg, who roasts awesome coffee, which I got for free.
Alan Moss, Google's superhero-lookalike Director of Online Sales, spoke at length about the great company. "Google has become indispensable in people's lives," he said. "For the first time ever, Google is releasing data that shows our economic impact on businesses across the country."
He then shattered a vase with his piercing good looks as I distributed the capers on a complimentary smoked-salmon bagel.
"We also provide in-kind donations in the form of free ad credits to non-profit organizations," he added. Thank you, Google. Thank you so much.
- Google started as a small business fueled by innovation and hard work. Here is some stuff they gave me.

Department of Homeland Security:
Financial Management Challenges
GAO-04-945T: Published: Jul 8, 2004. Publicly Released: Jul 8, 2004.

(202) 512-4800
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 brought together 22 agencies to create a new cabinet-level department focusing on reducing U.S. vulnerability to terrorist attacks, and minimizing damages and assisting in recovery from attacks that do occur. GAO has previously reported on the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) financial management challenges and key elements necessary for reform. DHS continues to be faced with significant financial management challenges, including addressing existing internal control weaknesses and integrating redundant inherited financial management systems. Additionally, DHS is the largest entity in the federal government that is not subject to the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990 or the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996. In light of these conditions, Congress asked GAO to testify on the financial management challenges facing DHS.
One of the challenges DHS faces is obtaining an unqualified financial statement audit opinion and fixing the previously identified internal control weaknesses that the department inherited from component agencies, as well as newly identified weaknesses. Component agencies took action to resolve 9 of the 30 internal control weaknesses DHS inherited, while 9 of the inherited weaknesses were combined and reported as material weaknesses in DHS's first Performance and Accountability Report and 5 were reported as reportable conditions. The remaining 7 inherited weaknesses were classified as observations and recommendations to management. In addition, improper payments, a significant and widespread challenge facing the federal government, can typically be traced to a lack of or breakdown in internal control. DHS would be remiss to not pay adequate attention to developing a strong internal control environment at the department. According to DHS officials, the department is in the early stages of acquiring a financial enterprise solution to consolidate and integrate its financial accounting and reporting systems. Similar projects have proven challenging and costly for other federal agencies. For example, efforts at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration failed to meet the needs of users and key stakeholders. To avoid similar problems, DHS must ensure commitment and extensive involvement from top management and users in the financial system development and integration. Currently, DHS is the only cabinet-level department in the federal government that is not subject to the CFO Act. As such, this department, with a fiscal year 2004 budget of nearly $40 billion and more than 180,000 employees, does not have a presidentially appointed CFO subject to Senate confirmation and is not required to comply with the requirements of FFMIA. DHS should not be the only cabinet-level department not covered by what is the cornerstone for pursuing and achieving the requisite financial management systems and capabilities in the federal government. S. 1567 would, among other things, amend the CFO Act to (1) add DHS as a CFO Act agency, and (2) require DHS to obtain an audit opinion on its internal controls. Enactment of this legislation will increase the likelihood that the financial management challenges at DHS will be overcome.

In Memory
Allen N. Fitchen, "Skip" to all of us in '58, died Christmas morning, December 25, 2009 at the age of 73 following a sixteen-year siege with lung cancer. Just outside the window of his room at the hospice facility for his last few weeks, family members hung seed and suet for his beloved birds. Very few came until Christmas Eve, but the next morning, as the card sent by the family noted, "a sudden profusion of birds – some in pairs – filled the tree. Cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, doves, downy and hairy woodpeckers all made appearances. Since they didn't feed and stayed less than a minute, they must have had a higher mission. We hoped Allen sensed it and that his spirit responded."
Skip was a quiet man, unassuming, content to stay in the background, even uncomfortable with large gatherings, but very much his own person. He could be quite competitive (for example, in tennis, squash, or family touch football games on Chicago's Midway, with sometimes surprising results). He was exceedingly well organized, had a sense of humor, a wide circle of friends, loved to travel, and was not a stranger to good times.
Our memories of Skip began with the initial formation, sustained through the College years and then renewed forty years later, of that remarkable trio – Skip, Dave Stephens, and Chris Horton. Hal Scutt remembers Skip as the quiet one of the three, but no less a full member for being so. Indeed, they were so close they often referred to one another in the third person as "NipBananaHorts," very much a unit but, still, three quite different people. Skip's first wife, Jane Cady Fitchen, recalled with some amusement that in her freshman year at Mt. Holyoke, she dated all three of them, however casually – mind you, that was while the three were rooming together at Psi U! The affinity of personalities finally settled things, and Skip married Jane in 1959 and whisked her out of Mt. Holyoke to Cornell where Skip earned his masters in English a year later.
Jane fondly recalls the weekend social life at Psi U, especially the toga party. She remembers the football games, constant music – jazz (Erroll Garner) and classical, hilarious conversations, the libations, and activities at Psi U punctuated occasionally by bottles of home brew exploding upstairs under the brewer's bed. And constantly, there were the conversations with Skip about books, and books, and more books.
Immediately out of Amherst Skip taught for a year – apparently a long year according to his fellow teacher and friend Cliff Terry – at Northfield Mt. Hermon, the New England prep school. He taught English, lived and ate with the boys in the dorm, coached three sports, and otherwise found somewhat chafing the niceties of that other time and place. Asked to give a sermon in Chapel, he instead read passages – remember, this was 1959 – of Catcher in the Rye believing it would speak more directly to his audience, the younger one, at any rate.
He and Cliff would let off steam at watering holes in the vicinity of school. Early on, when a bartender wondered if they weren't really just students at Mt. Hermon, a gruff voice at the end of the bar emanating from, it turned out, the football coach, said he'd vouch for their teacher status. Another time, Skip passed himself off as a LIFE reporter to a comely ecdysiast whose nom de plume was "Tootsie Roll." He interviewed her on pub life in the area and assured her that the LIFE photographer would follow up in a day or two. Right!
Skip was hired by Macmillan, first as a college textbook salesman in Ohio, then as an Editor inNew York. In 1967 Skip joined the University of Chicago Press as Humanities Editor. He was an avid recruiter of ground-breaking scholarly writers including Wayne Booth, Jacque Derrida, Mircea Eliade, Frank Lentricchia, Martin Marty, W.J.T. Mitchell, and Jaroslav Pelikan. His approach reflected clear ideas of what he wanted to accomplish. Over the years every contact with writers would be fastidiously recorded in detailed memoranda prepared immediately following each of the many trips to recruit, cultivate and assess the progress of his authors. He took no notes; everything was done from memory.
Arguably the most famous of Skip's accomplishments as an editor/publisher was bringing A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean to the public when Skip was senior editor of the University of Chicago Press. The feat was notable because the University of Chicago Press had never published a work of fiction. It is every editor's dream to have a classic piece of literature dropped into his lap and to shepherd it through the publishing process. Allen lived that dream when, in 1974, Norman Maclean walked into his office at the University of Chicago Press and handed him the manuscript that would become a legend. The novella, which would be made into the popular movie by Robert Redford, is considered by many anglers to be one of the best stories ever published about fishing.
Although best known, Maclean's book was not Skip's only important career contribution. He diversified Chicago's list in the humanities, greatly expanded the lists in religion and philosophy, introduced lists of popular culture, enabled major contributions in cartography and its history, and cultivated poets including Howard Nemerov whose "Collected Poems" won a National Book Award.
Skip and Jane hosted dinner party salons while at Chicago, embracing writers with whom he was or wanted to work. They were the talk of the Press. The bar was always well provisioned, and Jane remembers her culinary efforts (even as she sometimes wonders, still, if all of their guests could!) as well as often serving as designated driver, before it came to be called such, transporting guests to their respective hotels. A month after Skip died, in testimony to his lasting impact on the press, nearly a dozen friends still there nearly thirty years after he left, gathered for lunch to swap stories at a local pub Skip himself had gone to many times.
Jane suspects Skip had a hankering to write his own material, not just midwife the efforts of others. She remembers him retreating to the basement to write short stories which she never saw and which were never published.
In 1982, Skip moved to Madison to become Director of the University of Wisconsin Press.
There his role was more, though not exclusively, administrative. In the creative vein he campaigned for ten years and finally got the University of Wisconsin Press to publish John Bishop's classic study of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Four years after moving to Madison, Skip and Jane divorced; two years after that Skip married Shirley J. Bergen, a Wisconsin native. When Skip, Shirley, Chris Horton, and Sherry took the "truly fantastic three-week sojourn [2002] in Provence and Tuscany" about which Skip wrote for the 50th Classbook, there was something about his organizational ability he didn't tell us. (It was clearly implied, though, by his revelation there of the existence of more than 30 volumes of "Trip Reports" documenting Skip and Shirley's travels). Just as Chris prepared note cards on significant aspects of every museum scheduled on their itinerary, Skip hauled along a small library of his birding books to be absolutely sure that any new "ticks" (for non-birders, a tick means adding a species to one's life list) were grounded on precise descriptors. (The ethics of birder behavior in the "ticking" process is of some moment; it's all self report, often on a very fleeting glance or mere vocalization, only sometimes supported by other pairs of eyes and ears.) In his approach to birding many of Skip's characteristics were on full display. He went at it very much as a scholar, hence the small library he hauled with him to Tuscany and Provence. Just as with his authors, he was relentless in his pursuit of birds. His brother John, also a birder, remembers their putting 1800 miles on the odometer just within the confines of one week and the boundaries of southeast Texas. Over his birding career Skip accumulated a life list of over a thousand species, more than 600 within the boundaries of the American Birding Association area. John recalls the competition between him and his brother, especially the discussions of the "cost per bird" as they planned trips in hopes of adding new ticks. (One trip to AttuIsland costing $6000 earned John 20 ticks – you do the math! Attu is so situated geographically that it often briefly hosts errant Asian species whose relief at finding land must be jolted by the sight of scores of pairs of birder binoculars pointed up at them.) John's journey roused Skip's competitive juices; it wasn't long before he and Shirley hied themselves off to Costa Rica and Belize to fatten his world list! Cliff Terry remembers with quite apparent lingering fright – as does Jane – the hair-raising U-ies Skip would effect as he'd race back to confirm a tick he'd thought he caught a glimmer of as they were driving past!
Skip was a man at home with books, intellectual repartee, and the sanctity of the cocktail hour. He was comfortable at the dinner table, on the road, in his editorial offices, with birds, and the woods. (Or maybe, should it be said more precisely, cutting wood? His son Chris remembers his father enlisting him and his brother, Bill, to the Forest Preserve one winter day in a bit of a blizzard to reclaim fallen – or still standing – dead trees. Norman Maclean was there, too. While the boys worked a six-foot, two-man saw, the two seniors "sat on a stump drinking Irish Whiskey while yelling encouraging comment and keeping a keen eye out for the law [apparently cutting wood in the Forest Preserve is frowned upon in Chicago].")
Skip's life touched a host of others – family, colleagues and authors, friends from childhood, college, and travel. Each carries memories and souvenirs of the relationship. We mourn his passing.
Skip is survived by his wife, Shirley J. Bergen; his former wife, Jane Cady Fitchen; his [5] brother John '67; his daughter, Anne Fitchen Currier; and sons, Christopher and William; his stepdaughter, Eleni Otto; and six grandchildren.

Many, either in person or from published sources, contributed to the development of this piece from which the abbreviated version in AMHERST was abstracted. Cliff Terry, John Fitchen '67, Chris Fitchen, Anne Stephens, Sherry Horton, Jane Cady Fitchen, Hutch Tibbetts, and Martin Gross were interviewed and written materials (e-mails, remembrances, obituaries, etc.) from Hal Scutt, Chris Fitchen, Fred Greenman, Joe McDonald, Ron Seely, James Janega, Vertelle Kanyama, Sherry Horton, Margaret Mahan, and John Fitchen provided additional sourcing. Shirley Bergen was addressing health issues during the initial preparation of this remembrance, but when she improved, she and her niece Denise were able to review and respond to the late drafts. The Class appreciates the help all of you rendered.

I love Active Directory! I have loved it since it was introduced to the Microsoft world with Windows 2000 Server. Active Directory provides so many opportunities to the network administrator. The control features of Group Policy are so encompassing and emporwering! There is one question that I hear over and over again.
"So Chris Henley, How do I set up more than one password policy for my domain?"
Ouch! With Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 there was a single password policy that was part of the domain policy and there were no other policies. The implications of this were that if you wanted to run a single domain with multiple levels of password policy you were simply out of luck.
Guess What? In Windows Server 2008 Microsoft has introduced a new object called the password settings object. You guessed it! The password settings object can be linked to active directory structures to provide multiple password policies for a single domain.
"So how exactly do you set up a password policy object?"
It is so much easier to show you than to describe it. Watch the short video clip and you too can create password policy objects using your Windows Server 2008 DC's.

Ingrid Medical Marijuana Strain Review
From: Wellspring Collective
Grade: A
Type: Strongly Indica-Dominant [Ingrid is a cross of Sagarmatha Seeds' Stonehedge mother and a male Juan Moore's Dixie Crystal]
Price: $50/8th
Appearance: (9/10) This sample was of slightly above-average density, and was a uniform medium green with huge tall trichomes and pale orange hairs. It had some of the best trich coverage in terms of density and trich head size that we've seen; seems like a true Hashplant. Nicely swelled and bubbly calyxes with a nice manicure give this one a high bud-to-leaf ratio as well. The trichomes were mostly clear-cloudy, with maybe 10% ambers… great harvest timing.
Aroma: (8/10) Very strange, uncanny, and pungent odor that smells like dog poop. Especially pre-grind, that is all you can think of – it's a weird putrid sweetness with a sharp attack. After it's ground, it got even stronger with a component of herbiness but mostly an acrid musk and the poo smell. Not pleasing exactly, but unique, pungent, and unmistakable.
Taste: (7/10) Fortunately it didn't taste like it smelled, and instead produced an ethereal and herby (maybe some sandalwood in there?) taste that almost reminded us of a Haze weirdly enough. Another interesting trait is the wonderful almost menthol-sweet smell the actual smoke had, as it left the room smelling fragrant. The taste wasn't overt at any point, but the smoke was very pleasing and smooth with no coughing.
Effects: Right off the bat, this strain produced a strong experience, with low eyes and a rising warmth that entered the head, face, and eyes (especially the eyes, which were almost burning). It was nearly dizzying, making it a little bit difficult to walk around without getting a little unbalanced or having to take it a little slower than normal. Once the initial attack subsided (about 30-45 minutes), a glorious and medicating body high was the main effect. Superb relaxation throughout the entire body with a good deal of warmth and the urge to stretch and yawn makes this one perfect for relaxing after a day of physical activity. It stayed at medicinal levels well into the 2nd hour and is one of the better body-centric strains we've had recently.
Duration: Long, 2.5 — 3+ hours
Medicinal Traits: (We are NOT doctors — personal opinion ONLY) General relaxation, pain relief, tension relief, sleep aid, possible ocular relief.
Overall: With its um, distinctive and pungent aroma, it's ridiculous trich coverage, and long-lasting, medicinal effects, Wellspring's Ingrid is truly a winner of a strain. This one would do the trick for almost any type of pain or discomfort, and its relaxing effects were both mentally and physically medicating. It would probably get on top of most patients who aren't heavy users, as even a 0.3g dose was enough to put a veteran into the "overwhelming" range at the onset. Its enduring medicinal-level efficacy was the key component of its high score, as there was almost no drop-off in effects as the 2nd hour elapsed, which is unusual.

Learning From the Fruit Fly
Photo: Patricia Sampson, EECS
Wed, 12/22/2010
Press Contact
Diving deep into the functional elements of the fruit fly to grasp a better understanding of human biology may seem like a long shot, but that's exactly what CSAIL Principal Investigator Manolis Kellis and his colleagues have done. In a paper released in the December 24 edition of Science, Kellis and members of the model organism ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements Consortium (modENCODE) publish the integrative analysis of the Drosophila (fruitfly) project, which is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute.
The paper details modENCODE's research into the inner workings of the fruit fly, providing the basis for years of further study into the functional elements shared by both humans and fruit flies. The findings should provide scientists a better understanding of human biology, gene regulation and how the body reacts to disease, information which can be used in medical studies.
"This is everything a computational biologist would wish for for Christmas, but is too shy to ask. This is the first time this amount of data is available on a single organism across such a diverse range of phenotypes," explained Kellis. "By probing the cell with dozens of different types of experiments, systematically and uniformly across different conditions, modENCODE has provided computational biologists a treasure trove of information, which is a dream come true for large-scale data mining."
Kellis' work could have an impact far beyond the confines of fruit fly research, as the biological lessons and principles learned are likely conserved between the human and fruit fly genomes. Additionally, the methodology used will likely guide researchers undertaking similar studies in other species, including humans. "Through the study of model organisms, such as fruit flies and worms, scientists can reach a better understanding of the human genome because many of the cellular mechanisms that lead to body plan formation, brain development, and even behavior, are deeply conserved across animal species," said Kellis.
Kellis' work provides a striking example of how computer science can have a deep impact in other fields, such as understanding the basic principles of biology. Kellis is an associate professor of Computational Science at MIT, and has helped train many students and postdocs in the field of computational biology in his group and through his course, "Computational Biology: Genomes, Networks, Evolution."
"I could not be happier with the current direction of genomics - we are just scratching the envelope of what is possible. The questions are becoming richer, the data sets denser, the kinds of computational models coming more complex," said Kellis. "The transformations genomics has gone through in recent years have made it an ideal field of study right now, and they are only accelerating the pace of genomics research."
Kellis, the recent recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award, is thrilled to be immersed in such a breathtaking field and hopes to encourage other computer scientists to explore the field of computational biology. As for working at CSAIL, Kellis remarked that it is, "wonderful to be surrounded by all these computer science students and postdocs who can take this sort of complex data set to the next level."

they have copy, just not actual passport, thought i mentioned thatEdited By: saca Jul 7th, 2013 at 11:39 AM
doesnt matter as I dont plan on skipping town or anything anyway, going to try and barter down to something reasonable, hoping 25k'ish
You sorta did, think I am following, through the work permit in your passport they can find you. Think that is what you were getting at
just report it stolen ffs

are all things that hold validity, im just going to put it off and ignore it for a little while though... has worked out so far.
Got transfered back to the amurican restaurant, I dont think they were using the specials, I would go over in the afternoon and come up with specials, show them how to make them, then go to the other restaurant, and these guys would just tell the servers we didnt have any specials tonight cause they didnt want to make them haha, some of these jokers are the real deal. I'm sure they all view me as some sort of lazy hustler but we just cut different corners, I like to think there's an art to it, and these guys are not talented.
felt like a beast earlier today, 5 of the guys were trying to scoot this cast iron stove a few inches and it wasnt budging a bit, they all gave up and I wanted to see how heavy it was and gave it everything i had and nearly knocked it over, scooted it all the way into the wall and it was a pain in the ass to drag back out, that took some bamboo levers and shit, always amazes me, I've heard nothing but how tough these little bastards are but they dont have any strength.
Also to the guy with the Michigan back pack, if you looked up this thread, I lied to you, i've never lived in michigan, I just needed a ride to work and it seemed an appropriate conversation starter, sorry on that, appreciate the lift though.
Just posting to say I love this thread. I didn't start reading it till a few days ago, but reading it all at once made it like a novel. It is an amazing story, at some points almost unbelievable. It makes me think twice at going to work nowadays...
found it!
nice haha
Norv doing work again.........
classic norv
"Also to the guy with the Michigan back pack, if you looked up this thread, I lied to you, i've never lived in michigan, I just needed a ride to work and it seemed an appropriate conversation starter, sorry on that, appreciate the lift though."
Lol Norv.
Saca that tribute video is to the king. Probably the most beloved person by his own people in the entire world, it's gonna be a huge shitshow when he finally dies. That video and the way that everyone stands and makes sure all the tourists are up with hats off during is one of the things that really endeared me to Thailand. Can you imagine the shitshow if you were required to stand up to an Obama movie at home?
GG bike, been running around HK and Macau for the weekend and totally fell behind on the thread. Any word on Bangkok next month?
yeah bike is gone, I may rent one tomorrow and go on one last mission before just paying for it, I talked to the rental place and they said 30k baht, I'm going to walk in there and tell them all I have is 18 but I dont have it on me, they can either accept it or call the tourist police and send me to jail and they'll get nothing, if they play ball i'll pull out the 18, but if they pick up the phone i'll just hand over the 30, not a big deal. thats like 50% of the entire bank roll I came over here with, pretty happy that a few months later I can just shrug it off
I think there is definitely a chance the place repo'd it and theyre just going to get paid for it as well, but what can I do. Its going to be awesome if I run into it in a few months though and get a surprise motorbike.
Could it have been towed? did you call all the towing places?
I like your game with 18k now or just 30k if they grab the phone, lol classic
everyone I've spoken with on the issue says they dont tow bikes, they just put a chain on them and you have to call to get it off
there is a cage of bikes I guess somewhere that my buddy is going to take me to tomorrow, I guess if I left it in the middle of an intersection or something it would be there... although with the name and number of the rental place plastered on it i'm sure they would have been notified immediately and went and got it.
when I spoke with them earlier I acted like all was well at first and just said sorry i'm late i'll be by later with the monthly fee, they didnt seem shady at all, then I called back and asked if they towed it, they said no and I said it was stolen, they didnt seem surprised and said 30k I owe them, I called back an hour later and told them my thai friend just got off the phone with the police and they have it, so no worries... the guy on the line didnt care which lead me to believe all was legit, but then the owner called and was kinda weird, he asked "I have other customers who's motorbikes were towed, can you tell me exactly what number you called and what branch of police you spoke with that has your bike"? I thought it was strange, like he knew I was full of shit cause he had it or something... like i said though, shit happens. One lesson learned here, no matter how drunk you get, never leave your bike behind
going to get an std check tomorrow, all is well but Ive made some questionable plays and would like to buy a little peace of mind
If I had a rental out that long I would totally have someone look at it, see it's a pos now from damages, take it back without telling you, get you to pony up 30k baht. I would be HOPING you fucked it up. Either way I'm getting a new bike and probably a profit. Nobody wants an old fleet anyhow.
Dude probably gets them wholesale too so it's all good.
yeah for sure, I dont feel any anger towards them if thats what played out, I handled the situation like an ass hole and they just played the game better than me
No doubt bro, I'm giving them props too, can't hate the game. They probably make a huge chunk of profits off that scam. The rentals are just a cover. If I was you I would think about opening one of those businesses out the back of your kitchen.
Seems like the best place to post this considering people reading this thread may have interest in SE Asia travel:
Under $750 Delta roundtrip flights between LAX and Singapore
This fare is available for travel from August 21st-November 30th, and then again from January 1, 2014-May 20, 2014 for Monday through Thursday departures.
I like to use ITA Matrix free software to search for all the available fares and date ranges, etc... If you every fly and you aren't using ITA Matrix to search, you are missing out... get it, learn how to use it and how to search the codes (not difficult) and profit.
Hope this helps somebody get over the water.
thats an amazing deal
And in other Bangcock news: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/07...est=latestnewsEdited By: skeeze666 Jul 9th, 2013 at 01:58 AM
"BANGKOK – Thai police announced Monday that they have arrested a Bangkok taxi driver accused of stabbing an American passenger to death in an argument over a fare worth less than $2......."
I'll post more - you don't need promo codes, but you can use different codes for searching:
1) http://matrix.itasoftware.com/
2) Search Calendar of Lowest Fares, put in a departing date, then put in a length of stay in nights (so, 1-3 or 3-25)
3) Put in your departing and destination city codes
4) Search and it will show you the lowest fares over the course of a month, and when you hover over the date it will show you the best prices for different length of stays
5) If you find something you like you go book it directly on the airline website
6)The codes come in if you want to get more advanced to find great deals. You can enter multiple departing and destination cities in the fields - Example is DTW for Detroit, then click on the Nearby link and select all the other airports you are willing to fly out of, or into..
Then - click on the Advanced Routing Codes button and it will bring up another field... Click on the ? and it will give you a bunch of codes you can add in... example, if you want to fly Boston to LA and definitely want a layover in Dallas to visiti a friend or something, you can put in a code that will only search flights with a stop in Dallas...etc... tons of codes to use for that shit, but if you only care about point A to point B for lowest fare they don't really matter... I like it because I can search for non stop only on Delta etc, which I earn most of my status and miles on...
Anyway... play around with it and you may find some incredible deals.... I went to Puerto Rico last year just because I was searching random places to take a trip and plugged in some routes and found round trip for $245 from Detroit... with hotel points for my stay and car rental certificates, it was a cheap trip.
Yeah ITA is the shit, but if you're flying into SE Asia you also gotta crosscheck with AirAsia because it's completely insane cheap fares around the region are one of the prime reasons I still live here. Spent the weekend in HK and Macau for under $150, bought a 5-flight circular trip around Borneo and back to KL last November for $65 total, can sometimes fly to Langkawi Island for $20 round trip, currently can find some BKK round trips for under 40 bucks if you are looking months in advance. This week there's a massive sale on AirAsia if you buy by 14th July, but the fares are only good from Feb to Juneish of next year.
I had a 4-5 hour flight from Bangkok to Bali for $20 on Air Asia. Didn't take it when I had the chance, next day I paid like $44 lol. Think I have flown Air Asia 9x, they are the nuts
Yeah I can't speak to inter-Asia fares etc... Every time I fly internationally I use miles... never paid for an international flight in my life.
Are peanuts included?
police dont have it, I feel its 50% motorbike place grabbed it, 10% stolen, 40% sitting on some street somewhere. Making one final attempt today, my buddy is picking me up, we're going to the last place I remember being, and we're going to get bombed, and hopefully the night plays out the same way and we find it, i'm even going to wear the same clothes in case someone recognizes me and can offer any advice on what i was up to
lol you got drunk and lost your bike and/or somebody stole it. The moto place having it is like 1%Edited By: Zeppelin Jul 9th, 2013 at 09:44 AM
It's saca tho. Obv an international scooter gang is involved

All right, everybody, be cool and check out this full-length trailer for El Rey's "From Dusk Till Dawn," the TV adaptation of the Robert Rodriguez-directed, Quentin Tarantino-scripted/co-starring movie about Texas bandits, vampires, and a family and their RV. The show is premiering on the El Rey network, and if you know what that is and how to get it, you're way ahead of me, buddy.
It co-stars Fez from "That 70s Show," playing a crime kingpin or some such.
Based on the thrill-ride film, "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" is a supernatural crime saga centered around bank robber, Seth Gecko (Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard "Richie" Gecko (Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Garcia) after a bank heist left several people dead. While on the run to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former minister Jacob Fuller (Patrick) and his family, whom they take hostage. Using the family RV to cross the border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires. They are forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the film, adds new characters and backstories and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.
Starring D.J. Catrona, Zane Holtz, Don Johnson, Robert Patrick, Jesse Garcia, Brandon Soo Hoo, Madison Davenport, Wilmer Valderrama, and Eiza González.
Premiering on El Rey on March 11th.

The second season premiere of MTV's Teen Mom 2 launched to the biggest ratings in the franchise's history, while a conservative parent group took aim at the show.
Teen Mom 2 delivered 4.2 million viewers, up 17 percent from the series debut back in January. The MTV release notes that the Centers for Disease Control announced the U.S. teen birth rate declined 9 percent in 2010 and is now at the lowest level ever reported. In other words: We're not glamorizing teen pregnancy so get off our backs already!
But the folks over the the Parents Television Council say the show is harmful to young women nonetheless, launching a well-timed press release this morning admonishing Teen Mom and other MTV series:
"After many years of pursuing equality for women, the findings of today's study suggest a glamorized, but grossly distorted view of what it means to be feminine," says PTC president Tim Winter of his organization's research. "Compared to men, women were far more denigrating to themselves and other females … With MTV reality 'stars' as celebrity role models, teens are learning that outlandish behavior is rewarded, and that degrading, sexualized language is not only accepted, it is encouraged."
The thrust of the PTC's argument is that MTV reality stars on shows like Teen Mom, Real World and Jersey Shore are setting a bad example — they're insecure, mean and sex obsessed. "Females talked about sex acts more than men, talked about sex more graphically than men, mentioned sexual body parts more than men, and talked about intercourse and foreplay more than men," wrote the PTC. "Only 24% of what females said about themselves was positive."
Of course, the reason these shows are hits is because there's plenty of viewers who want their reality stars acting insecure, mean and sex obsessed. How else are we going to feel superior to them? Do we really want spent 10 p.m. watching a sober JWoww study for her midterms?
"The saddest commentary is how ultimately these media themes and images serve to paint a very vivid picture of low expectations," Winter says.
Which is precisely right. But isn't it that we have low expectations for the reality performers on the shows, not for ourselves? The question comes down to whether you believe reality stars serve as detached entertainment, or your believe reality stars function as role models — whether they're meant to or not. What do you think?

Charles Linden, author of the Linden Method, is a man who knows what he's talking about. For the benefit of anyone who is unfamiliar with his name, and/or his reputation, Charles is a man who has dedicated his life to helping others to learn how to deal with anxiety and panic attack disorder.
Charles Himself Was a Sufferer
One of the reasons that Charles Linden is so successful in this particular field is that he himself was a sufferer; but he discovered how to cure himself, and now his is free from what for many, can otherwise prove be a totally debilitating condition.
Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder
We all feel the effects of anxiety at some point in our lives. This often manifests itself as:
- A sense of worry
- The feeling of what we commonly describe as "butterflies"
- A tightening of the stomach muscles
- Feelings of nausea
- Shortness of breath
- Accelerated heartbeat
Who Suffers from Anxiety Disorder?
Small children may feel anxiety which expresses itself in one or more of the above mentioned ways when about to attend a new school; young people when they are waiting for their exam results; anyone going for their first job interview – any situation whereby the outcome is unpredictable can lead to a sense of anxiety.
Anxiety Attack Explained
Charles Linden explains that anxiety and panic attacks are not an illness. Rather, they are a condition; and he is living proof of the fact that it is a condition that can be managed and self-cured, as explained in full detail in his book and program, The Linden Method.
Feelings of anxiety are generated by the Amygdala, a tiny organ within all of our brains. When we find ourselves in an uncertain situation, it is the Amygdala that sends out chemical messages that result in the familiar physical feelings of anxiety. This is quite normal.
But in many people their Amygdalas get reprogrammed and send out their chemical messages in relatively normal situations. This becomes the default position and it is what is responsible for anxiety attacks which to outsiders, are totally unwarranted.
When Anxiety Disorder Leads to Panic Attacks
Charles Linden himself suffered from this disorder, which, when taken to a higher stress level resulted in panic attacks. These panic attacks make people's bodies physically react in totally inappropriate ways; for example shortness of breath, and/or symptoms that closely resemble that of having a heart attack.
The Linden Method
The Linden Method has been put together by Charles from his own actual experiences, how he learned to manage these attacks, and eventually overcome their effects. He is now anxiety attack free and is passing on his wealth of knowledge on the subject to the world at large.
Charles Linden
Charles Linden has become a recognized authority on the subject of anxiety disorder. He appears on TV chat shows, speaks at functions, and has written several well acclaimed books on the subject, the latest of which is entitled The Linden Method.
If you, yourself are a sufferer, this material that includes video, audio, a book and Unlimited Support, comes as highly recommended for you to check out.

Robert Grant has kept the most outstanding rookie curse at bay thus far. And this season the Edmonton Eskimos linebacker is gunning to beat the sophomore jinx.
Dodging the latter will go a long way to furthering the 24-year-old Grant's efforts to avoid falling prey to the former.
The four players who received the nod as the Esks' most outstanding rookie from the local chapter of the Football Reporters of Canada prior to Grant are all outta here.
Donnie Ashley (1999), Jerome Peterson (2000), Yves Dossous ('01) and Kelvin Powell ('02) hung around after getting the nomination, but were eventually let go.
Obviously, Grant isn't a superstitious individual. He simply smiled when the subject of the most outstanding rookie jinx was dredged up.
"I'm starting to understand the game a little more," said Grant, a running back at the University of Hawaii before he was converted to a defensive back. "Now I'm just trying to work with my teammates around me and make plays."
The six-foot, 200-pounder made his fair share of big plays on the way to earning the most outstanding rookie nomination last season.
Grant's CFL debut came last July versus the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the same club the defending Grey Cup champs face tomorrow night at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
Lining up at free safety for that game, Grant recorded his first CFL interception. And after picking off the pass, Grant's running back instincts kicked in as he returned the ball 71 yards for his first CFL touchdown.
By the end of the '03 campaign, the Oakland-born defender was the Green and Gold's starting middle linebacker.
On top of four sacks, Grant picked up 35 defensive tackles and finished the last season with five interceptions. As well as the 71-yard return versus the Ticats, Grant parlayed another of his picks into a six-point play last year.
"The biggest challenge was just trying to adjust to the run and understanding run gaps and run support," Grant said of his move to the box.
"I think this year I have a much better understanding of that and I've been a little more effective at the linebacker position.
"I miss playing running back sometimes, but that's why I try to get my hands on the ball as much as possible."
Away from the field, Grant is an accomplished artist. His latest work is an oil he's dubbed Generations.
It features the faces of 40 musicians, including Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Mary J. Blige, Tupac, Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix.
Grant plans to market prints of the collage at malls throughout North America once the season is over.
"I was working on that six or seven hours a day, but during the season I don't play with it too much. I try to focus mainly on football," explained Grant, who is now bookending with Singor Mobley at the outside linebacking spots.
Grant's path to the linebacker position isn't radically different from the one Mobley followed.
Mobley was a running back in high school, became a defensive back at college and spent three seasons as a backup safety with the Dallas Cowboys.
Following his stint in Dallas, Mobley spent the 2000 season in Edmonton's secondary before joining the linebacking fraternity full time the following year.
"He sort of reminds me of myself," Mobley said after a moment of reflection. "When I first came in here, I played halfback. I could cover, but they thought I'd be a better tackler so they moved me down to linebacker.
"That's the same thing with Rob. He can cover, but he has a knack for the ball and playing linebacker is a good position for him."
Through the first 14 games this season Grant has 39 defensive tackles to go along with a pair of pass knockdowns, a sack and two fumble recoveries.
He's also picked off a couple of opposition passes, but couldn't convert either into a quick six points.
According to Esks' defensive coordinator Greg Marshall, while Grant has made incredible strides he's not yet earned his journeyman's ticket.
"The biggest thing with Rob is he has to be consistent every game," Marshall said.
"He has a penchant for making the big play, which everybody notices. But sometimes he has to be a little bit stronger in some of the little things he does.
"Overall, Rob's doing fine. He's a guy that's playing a position that has to be an impact guy. When he's been able to do that, we've played well. When he hasn't been able to do that, those are some of the games we've struggled."

your mom could look them in
their innocent eyes, hear "Grandma!"
