Jesse Jackson challenges "segregated history"
Reverend speaks as part of Black History Month events, sparks debate

Nearly one thousand students, faculty and members of the Worcester community gathered in the Hogan Ballroom on Monday to hear the Rev. Jesse Jackson speak about civil rights and the African-American experience. Jackson, who stood alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement, ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988 and in 1990 was elected to serve as a U.S. Senator from Washington, D.C. He also served as "Special Envoy of the President and Secretary of State for the Promotion of Democracy in Africa" under President Bill Clinton and has received numerous honors for his civil and human rights work, most notably as the founder of the National Rainbow Coalition. Most recently, he has hosted "Both Sides with Jesse Jackson" on the Cable News Network. Jackson took the stage to applause from the audience. Upon seeing throngs of students straining to hear and see him in the rear of the room, Jackson invited them to the front, where they sat cross-legged on the floor. Jackson began his speech with a brief discourse on the history of the African-American struggle in America, noting that much of the struggle is not represented in history books. "You cannot separate American history from African-American history," he said, referring to this lapse as "the great nadir of American history." Jackson then went on to list several prominent American institutions, from Washington, D.C. to the foundations of Wall Street, that he described as being built upon slavery. "America's first trade policy was a slave trade policy," he said, also saying that "importing Africans and exporting cotton was the original source of American wealth." He said that the Church had blessed the slave trade and noted that this phenomenon was not one limited to the South, as popular history suggests. "We've been enslaved longer than we've been free," said Jackson, noting that the institution of slavery existed in America for 246 years before its demise at the end of the Civil War. Slaves were not allowed to read, write, own land or marry during this period, he said. Further illustrating this point, Jackson posed the question of whether blacks should celebrate the Fourth of July. He suggested that July 4, 1776 need not be celebrated, as even a mention of African-Americans is notably absent from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He then used the example of Frederick Douglass, a Civil War-era orator and abolitionist who refused to give a speech commemorating July 4 in 1852 due to the fact that it ignored his basic humanity. Finally, Jackson said, July 4, 1865 is a date African-Americans may celebrate, as it marked the first time they became a recognized part of the American community. Jackson also spent time discussing his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. He said the movement was born largely out of a desire to see the promises made to African-Americans after emancipation, including the right to vote, to be treated as first-class citizens, to be treated fairly and to have protection from anti-African-American elements, fulfilled by the U.S. government. He noted that fifty years ago to the day, the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education had made segregation illegal. With this decision, said Jackson, "the law changed, but the culture did not change." He suggested that "South Africa learned the apartheid system from us." Mentioning renowned civil-rights events such as the demonstrations following the lynching of Emmett Till, the Montgomery bus boycotts and especially the 1963 March on Washington, which he attended, Jackson further detailed the struggles of African-Americans during this period to finally secure the rights that had been promised them. He had himself once been jailed for trying to use a public library in Alabama, he said. "Being jailed was a badge of honor" to members of the movement, he said. Jackson also described how on the way home from the World War II front, African-American veterans, including his own father, were made to sit behind Nazi POWs on train rides in the South solely on the basis of their color. He went on to say that King had been jailed 26 times during his civil-rights involvement, during many of which he was stabbed or beaten, for, among other things, "the right to use a [public] toilet." "We've paid a big price to be American," he stated. Jackson also likened King to Jesus, citing both as ethnic minorities dreaming of a new world. He commended King's rejection of an "eye for an eye" vision of the world and suggested that because of King's inspiration, "you can be in disgrace and dream of amazing grace." Jackson then described American history as being divided into four stages. The first, he said, was the effort of abolitionists to end slavery. The second, led by King, was the movement to end segregation and claim basic civil rights. The right to vote without impediment was the third, and the current fight for the right to have access to capital marks the fourth stage. He suggested that the first three stages denied this access, reiterating his belief that slave labor allowed for the development of traditional American repositories of wealth. Saying we live in a "rainbow world," Jackson said that the idea of February as Black History Month is not simply a reason to "get angry at white people." He stated his belief that those who know only of their own culture suffer from a "cultural deficit disorder," noting that most of the world's people are not white, male, Christian or affluent. Paying special attention to the fact that most of the nations in the Americas speak Spanish, Jackson said that those who speak only English are "somewhere between backward and retarded." He then challenged those present to reject "segregated history," rejecting the idea that "ethnic studies" should be separated from American studies. Jackson colored his description of social inequity with several sports metaphors, citing the Olympics as an event never afflicted by racial or ethnic tension due to the level playing field it offers. He suggested that those who have long been oppressed by social order do well in athletics because of this equality. Using the analogy of a first down in football, he suggested blacks have had to run 12 years because "they had something to prove," while whites have only had to run eight "because they inherited some yards." He also said, "we didn't know how good baseball could be until we let everybody play." Jackson also made several politically-charged comments. During his discussion of Frederick Douglass' refusal to speak on the Fourth of July in 1852, he said that Douglass had refused to perform "like some Clarence Thomas." The comment drew a mixture of boos and cheers from the crowd. He also chastised the Bush Administration, especially Attorney General John Ashcroft, for not meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus and other civil-rights groups in three years. Discussing the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections, Jackson said that Clinton had lost the white vote to his Republican opponents but was carried to victory by the overwhelming support of minorities. Condemning the Supreme Court's actions regarding the Florida vote count in the 2000 presidential contest as disenfranchising minority voters, Jackson said, "We won again in 2000 but the Supreme Court did its usual thing." Again, crowd reaction was mixed. Concluding his formal remarks, Jackson harkened back to Jesus, saying His teachings constituted the definition of character. He used the parable of 'The Good Samaritan' to suggest that our neighbors are those willing to assist others regardless of race or creed, people he said have "the capacity to care beyond oneself." Mentioning the case of Rodney King, a black man who in 1992 was beaten by four white Los Angeles policemen, Jackson suggested that the hero was not King but rather the white photographer who took it upon himself to film the beating rather than ignore it. "The challenge is before us to make America the land of all our dreams," Jackson said in closing. After announcing that there would be a question-and-answer period, Jackson asked all those present who were not registered to vote on campus to stand. He then directed them to the front of the Ballroom, where registration materials were available. He noted at several points throughout his talk that Holy Cross students have the right to vote for officials in the Worcester area and to do so on campus, a right he attributed to the efforts of King. Jackson faced a series of questions from audience members, including one student's inquiry about whether African-Americans should accept their circumstances and assume responsibility, even if doing so meant working harder for success. Jackson echoed sentiments he had expressed in his speech, saying that an even playing field must be fought for: "You cannot say the civil rights era is behind us." Asked about affirmative action, Jackson asserted the programs usefulness, noting that it addresses gender inequality as well as racism. Citing the use of "legacy points" in the college admissions process, Jackson asked if returning Holy Cross to its former status as an all-white, all-male institution would "be a badge of honor." He said that he did not want to be color-blind, but "color-caring and color-compassionate." In response to a question regarding recent controversy surrounding same-sex marriage, Jackson said that while the controversy marks a difficult social transition, people were ultimately entitled to equal protection under the law. He stated that people must not be allowed to make decisions for others. "If you don't like it, don't do it," he said. When Jackson was questioned about his comments last year referring to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell as a "slave" of the Bush Administration, he criticized Powell, the war in Iraq and Clarence Thomas '71. "There is a war in Iraq that is based upon a lie...We've killed a lot of people and we're no safer," said Jackson. He described Thomas as "a right-wing conservative who has no base in the black community" and further said, "He is not a hero among those who are oppressed." The comments again drew mixed approval and outrage from the crowd. Several audience members cited questions concerning Jackson's personal actions among the evening's more tense moments. One questioner asked Jackson how he could compare himself to Martin Luther King when he had fathered illegitimate children and supposedly extorted money through false accusations of racism. He replied that King himself had been accused of extortion during the Montgomery bus boycott and said of his questioner, "His struggle does not offend me. In time he will grow." When one audience member accused Jackson of impropriety and extortion in his dealings with companies such as Anheisher-Busch and Coca-Cola, particularly suggesting Jackson had unfairly positioned his sons to bid on an Anheiser-Busch plant, Jackson denied any wrongdoing, saying he had merely sought to open a previously obstructed business opportunity to African-Americans. When the questioner continued to press him, Jackson replied, "I was there, I am the history." He further added that it had been some 20 years between his involvement in the matter and his sons' bid on the Anheiser-Busch plant. Noting his sons' college educations, he said, "If Bush can be president, my kids can sell beer." As Jackson attempted to end the question-and-answer session, cries from the crowd rose up asking him to field one more audience query, and he acquiesced. The question, one at which several audience members later expressed outrage, was: "As a man of God, how do you defend fathering an illegitimate child?" After a moment's pause, Jackson responded, "I thank Him for his grace." He described his child as a blessing, and noted that while he could engage in mean-spirited attacks against the Catholic Church, he would rather work with it. He further said that he was grateful he had chosen the life of his child over abortion. As early as 45 minutes before the scheduled start of Jackson's speech, the Ballroom, adjacent lounge, and hallway overflowed with people. Police and other event staff swarmed the area in an attempt to maintain order. College officials opened Hogan Suite A and the Ballroom balcony to accommodate the crowd. See related sidebar. As efforts to accommodate the crowd continued, Jackson's speech was delayed by 45 minutes. Representatives of the Black Student Union, citing traffic as the cause of the delay, introduced Jackson following an a capella performance of "His Eye is on the Sparrow" by Andre Isaacs '05. Reactions among the Holy Cross community regarding the speech were mixed. "The way some of the questions were direct attacks and the rude shouts of people in the background made me embarrassed to be a part of Holy Cross," said Caitlin Condign '06. She added, "The actions of certain people there were disgraceful to the school." Matt Appleton '06 was more critical of Jackson. "While I found it most admirable that Rev. Jackson registered students to vote, his gross misrepresentations of the American history, especially during the Founding period and the Civil War, was most troubling," he said. He added that Jackson's "inability to respond in anything other than a dismissive manner to legitimate student questions demonstrated a profound lack of respect toward Holy Cross' student body." Jackson's speech was held in honor of Black History Month and was sponsored by the Black Student Union.

Meet the coach
Mon, Jan 10th, 2011
Posted in Sports
Posted in Sports
The Minnesota Vikings have decided to retain Leslie Frazier as their head coach, removing the "interim" tag shortly after Sunday's hammering at the hands of the surprising Detroit Lions. Frazier is tasked with leading an underachieving team forward from this season's let down. Frazier will have a lot of work ahead of him before next season starts. There will be changes, but before we get into that, let's get to know the new man in charge.
Leslie Frazier was born April 3, 1959 in Columbus, Mississippi. He was a defensive back for small school Alcorn State University. He began his NFL career has an undrafted free agent to the Chicago Bears. He played for the 1985 Bears championship team. Unfortunately, that was his last season in the NFL wasa knee injury returning a punt in the Super Bowl cut his career short.
Frazier's coaching career kicked off at Trinity College in 1988, where he was head coach until 1996. He moved on to the University of Illinois as Defensive Backs coach for the 1997 and 1998 seasons. Frazier's NFL coaching debut came in 1999 as the Philadelphia Eagles hired him to be their Defensive Backs coach until 2002, when he took the Defensive Coordinator job of the Cincinnati Bengals. From the Bengals, he went to Indianapolis Colts and worked under Tony Dungy as a Defensive Backs coach for 2005, and the 2006 Super Bowl run. In 2007, the Minnesota Vikings got their man as they hired Frazier to be defensive coordinator. In 2008, Frazier was named assistant coach, behind Brad Childress, and also retained his title of Defensive Coordinator. In his four years as Defensive Coordinator, the Vikings defense has been one of the most feared units in all of football. In the last three years, the Vikings haven't ranked lower than 8th in total defense.
Frazier inherits a Vikings team with a need to get younger at nearly every position. It would not surprise this writer if this off-season Vikings management blows the team up. We may see a complete overhaul of this roster. There are 17 players with contracts expiring this off-season, including Tavaris Jackson, Sidney Rice, Chad Greenway, Ray Edwards and Pat Williams. Pat Williams is already on record as saying, "They're going to be rebuilding around here." The Vikings championship window was open, but they lacked the coaching to put them over the top. They finally got their coach, but is it too late? Time will tell.

Jahvid Best's Status
ALLEN PARK -- As the Detroit Lions opened training camp on Friday, running back Jahvid Best was forced to watch from the sidelines.
Best was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, which restricts him from taking part in any team activities.
Best was placed on Inured Reserve last season after suffering a concussion and has yet to be cleared for physical contact.
"Well I can't get back out there until I get cleared," said Best. "I'm working as hard as I can to be cleared and once I am I will be back out there."
Best participated in positional drills during the team's minicamp a few weeks ago and claims he hasn't had any setbacks.
Many specialists, including some outside of the team, have been consulted.
"I've talked of thousand of doctors," said Best. "Not literally but I've talked to a bunch of doctors. Now it's just waiting to get cleared, as soon as I get cleared I'll be back out there."
There is no clear timeline on when Best will be able to return but he does seem optimistic that he will play again soon.
Team Gets iPads
The Detroit Lions traded in their normal, three-ring binder playbooks for brand new Apple iPads.
The iPads – touch screen computer tablets - allow players to have convenient access to the team's playbook as well as film, notes and other beneficial material in one compact location.
"It's cool," said Justin Durant. "It's 2012, technology is crazy. It's real cool, it's real convenient, just being able to have all that information on one little device. Being able to log into it and being able to write and pull up the film."
The benefits are undeniable but some players have a tiny problem.
"It kind of ages me a little bit," said wide receiver Nate Burleson. "Being that I'm about to be 31, when I came in, we weren't even close to the iPad, I don't even think iPhone was out, let alone the IPad."
The advance in technology will make grueling camp life a little more easy for the team but won't help provide entertainment.
"You can't play no Angry Birds, no internet, none of that," said cornerback Chris Houston. "I like it, because communication is better."

Social media has changed society.
Last night, the chilling news of the time Troy Anthony Davis died came to me neither from one of the TV news stations I was monitoring nor from the major high-brow traditional newspaper sites I kept checking online.
No, the news came to me first in a Facebook post from southwest Atlanta blogger Kupenda Auset:
"'They can take my body, but they cannot take my spirit.' ~ Troy Anthony Davis. Time of transcendence: 11:08pm. R. I. P."
Like me, Auset was monitoring livestream reports from Democracy Now as well as tweets, Facebook posts and even phone calls from people at the Jackson prison.
Troy Davis is gone but his execution late last night served as a wakeup call to the amazing power our government currently has over our lives.
The everyday citizen in the United States was able to see through social media that the letters, the recants, the three stays of execution, the maintaining of his innocence to the very end was not enough to sway the pardons board, the state supreme court or the highest court in the land.
That was humbling. But there was something else we learned in this saga.
That is the power we do have, moving forward.
Troy Davis had a face and a following but currently, some 3,500 more or less faceless men and women sit on death row and, reports show, there are a range if disparities in the lineup.
Though black Americans make up 12 percent of the U.S. population, half of all people on death row are African-American, according to Amnesty International. Numerous experts have shown that, no matter their race, they also are often from poor backgrounds and are likely to have been victims of abuse and violence in their childhoods.
But, statistics aside, though the vast majority are probably guilty, DNA tests have already proven that some are innocent. That is the sinker for many who oppose the death penalty.
We have power now in our real-time social media networks southwest Atlanta and friends.
So, what will we do about capital punishment in Georgia? In this country? What say you?

Assessing U.S. International Competitiveness in Biomedical ResearchJuly 27, 2012
A new report from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation looks at the increased global competition for biomedical advantage.
Where the U.S. was once the world leader in advancing life sciences such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and medical devices, it now faces the threat of losing that advantage from decreased federal investment, and growing competition from overseas.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation claims that with its leadership, the U.S. has an extremely globally competitive, high-wage life science industry that supports more than 7 million jobs and contributes $69 billion annually to U.S. gross domestic product.
But federal investment in biomedical research through the National Institute for Health has decreased almost every year since 2003. And other countries have not only boosted their funding of this research, they've also put in policies like tax incentives that are meant to support biomedical innovation.
China, the ITIF reports, has identified biotechnology as a key strategic industry and intends to spend $308.5 billion in biotechnology over the next five years. The Foundation says that if this trend continues, the U.S. government's investment in life sciences research will probably be barely half that of China's in current dollars, and roughly one-quarter of China's level as a share of GDP.
The Foundation argues that the challenge to U.S. biomedical research competitiveness isn't just that other countries are spending more on biomedical R&D.
"Another problem is the lack of consistency and predictability in the level of U.S. biomedical research funding. To be sure, the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) included a welcome, albeit temporary, increase in NIH funding. But the positive impact of that ephemeral surge has not been maintained, and NIH funding is threatened with a drastic rollback by the looming automatic sequestration scheduled to be triggered January 2, 2013 (unless Congress reaches a budget deal in the interim)."
The Foundation claims sequestration would cut NIH funding by at least 7.8 percent, leading to a $2.4 billion reduction in 2013, the largest cut in the agency's history.

Trucking Along - stay classy Kelowna
I recently moved back to Kelowna (my hometown) from Alberta . Being a professional driver working everyday in the valley, I would just like to say Thank You to the many courteous drivers I encounter everyday on the roads in and around Kelowna.
People here are on the ball compared to many of the cities I've driven in. Thank You for the quick flash of your headlights so I know my trailer is clear. Thank You for slowing down a bit so I can get my rig into traffic . Thank You for moving over to the outside lane so I can merge.
Like it says on the back of the buses, Thanks for the Brake! Often when you help a truck move through traffic you will see a couple flashes of the hazard lights from the truck, that's us saying thanks to you!
Keep up the good work folks its very much appreciated!

Tis the season for the "Nutcracker"
More: Bio, Facebook, News Team
PHILADELPHIA - November 18, 2012 (WPVI) -- For many families, it wouldn't be the holidays without the Nutcracker. But this year, a local dance school is giving the classic tale a distinctly Philadelphia twist.
The Rock School of Dance calls its show Nutcracker 17-76. Instead of being set in a parlor during Victorian times, it takes place at City Tavern in the heyday of Colonial- era Philadelphia.
The basic story elements are the same& two children entrusted with a magical Nutcracker embark on the adventures of a lifetime&. and it's set to Tchaikovsky's familiar Nutcracker score. But Nutcracker 17-76 has a revolutionary theme.
Bo Spassoff, President & Director of Rock School for Dance Education said, "Ben Franklin is one of the central characters and George Washington makes an appearance and Thomas Jefferson."
"They're British soldiers as huge mice and so we have a wonderful snow scene with lots of snow and then the second act is a lot of athletic dancing," Spassoff continued.
The Rock School teaches the art of dance to students from all over the world. Many will go on to become professional ballerinas and Broadway and film stars. Nutcracker 17-76 features a cast of nearly 200 and it condenses the classic tale to a faster-paced, more action-packed hour long version.
Stephanie Spassoff, Artistic Director of Rock School for Dance Education added, "Oh it's Nutcracker and Nutcracker is for a young person-especially girls, I think it just has a special magic. And so it's really geared to a family to be able to go in and have the little ones as well as the older ones enjoy it."
Nutcracker 17-76 will play December 1st at the Merriam Theatre and December 8th at Centennial Hall at the Haverford School. Go to The Rock School for show times and tickets.

A, Theory Methods 72, No. 12, 4534-4540 (2010). Let H be a real Hilbert space, C a nonempty closed and convex subset of H, T:C→C a nonexpansive mapping, F(T) the set of fixed point of T, and ℝ + be the set of nonnegative real numbers. Let {T(T(t):t∈ℝ + } be a nonexpansive semigroup on C, i.e. (1) for each t∈ℝ + , T(t) is a nonexpansive mapping on C; (2) T(0)x=x for all x∈C; (3) T(s+t)=T(s)∘T(t) for all s,t∈ℝ + ; (4) for each x∈C, the mapping T(·) from ℝ + into C is continuous. The purpose of this paper is to prove the strong convergence of a method combining the decent method and the hybrid method in mathematical programming for finding a point p∈F≡⋂ t≥0 F(T(t)) i.e. a point in the common fixed set of a semigroup of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert-space.Reviewer: T.

We pay for your shipping on all orders over $25 shipped to the United States. Please note, this $25 total does not include tax or shipping charges. Our free shipping method is USPS First-Class Mail. USPS Priority Mail and USPS Priority Mail Express shipments will incur additional fees. We'll happily ship packages internationally; however, we're unable to provide free shipping outside of the U.S. For more information on international orders, see below.
All orders are shipped via the United States Postal Service (USPS), with the option to choose the United Parcel Service (UPS) at checkout. All orders placed before 2:00 p.m. ET Monday-Friday will be shipped the same day. If you order after 2:00 p.m. ET on Friday, or anytime on Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, your order will ship the following business day.
SunglassWarehouse.com is pleased to offer international shipping! Packages shipped using the United States Postal Service Priority Mail Express International usually arrive within 3-6 business days and are insured against loss or damage at no additional cost. Priority Mail Express International shipping rates start at $23.95 and are non-refundable. A signature is required upon delivery. We also offer USPS Priority Mail International, which usually arrives within 6-10 business with rates starting around $17.95.
International customers can also choose to ship their item(s) via USPS First-Class Mail International. Please be aware that shipping tracking is NOT available with this method. Items that are shipped via this method are not insured and will not be replaced if lost, stolen, or damaged. If you need to guarantee delivery, please choose USPS Priority Mail Express. USPS Priority Mail Express provides tracking information from our door to yours and requires a signature upon delivery.
While most international packages are delivered within 7-14 days, in rare instances, delays of up to 6 weeks have been experienced once the package has left the United States. We are not responsible if your package is delayed during shipping or held up in customs. All customs fees and duties are the responsibility of the customer. You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches your country.
SunglassWarehouse.com has no control over delays through customs, customs duties, and import fees, and cannot predict their cost. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. At times, custom policies may also delay the delivery of your package.

We love sending sunglasses to military friends! Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee delivery time to military addresses. It takes 1-3 days for Priority Mail to arrive at the primary military post office, and 2-9 days for USPS First-Class Mail. From there, the package is under the control of the military mail system. Your order should arrive in about the same amount of time as other packages from the U.S. (in most cases 7-14 days). The actual transit time depends on where you are stationed. If you have any problems entering your APO/FPO address information please contact us, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Please Note: When sending to military addresses, please do not choose UPS during checkout, as all orders must be shipped through the post office.
Packages shipped within the United States are shipped with a delivery confirmation number. This means your tracking information will not be available until your order has been delivered. It is not uncommon for packages to show only confirmation of delivery and not an origin scan.
Please be aware that the USPS provides only a delivery confirmation service for most destinations, not a tracking service. USPS delivery confirmation services are designed to be a low-cost alternative to full tracking and primarily provide delivery information. Confirmation of delivery or attempted delivery is provided. Information is generally available on the evening of the date of delivery or attempted delivery. For those orders shipped via UPS, you will receive actual tracking numbers.
All shipments will be considered lost if they have not arrived after 20 business days.

vibe: 2 | quality: 4 | service: 4 | selection: 3.5 | food: 4 | $$
Atmosphere - This restaurant is right int he middle of the gigantic mall at Arundel Mills. I don't like malls, going to DuClaw was the trade for me going to the mall at all with girlfriend. So, I might be harsh here. The music was pretty awful. People are visible walking around outside The place is small. The decor is simple (in a modern sense), but it is fitting. The seats of the booth we were seated in moved to reveal smashed drywall and wires. I guess I didn't like the atmosphere much at all.
Quality - The offerings of DuClaw are varied and what I had, the Old Flame (an old ale) and Venom (APA) were both pretty good, particularly the latter.
Service - Our waiter was nice and helpful. My beers came filled almost to the brim off of the tap with only a tiny room for head. Food arrived promtly. No complaints here. Granted they were about as busy as a ski resort in Equador when we came, so I can't talk about how they fair when more crowded.
Selection - Well they don't seem to have much beer aside from their own offerings and macros. However, the variety of their offerings is diverse enough to create a decent variety. Besides, who would go to DuClaw to try a pint of Clipper City beer?
Food - What I had was great! I had a portebello sandwich and it was delicious. My girlfriend got nachoes and they were covered in that disgusting yellow goop that is passed off as cheese. They seemed to have done *something* to it, because it didn't taste that gross. The dessert, Vesuvius Cake I believe, was delicious.
Value - The pints seemed to be around the range of 3.50 - 4.00. Quite reasonable if you ask me. The food was not expensive either. Two meals, a dessert and two beers under $30 is reasonable.

I went to the DuClaw location in Arundel mills, I was very pleased with my experience here. The waitress even told me about a combination of naked fish and sweet baby jesus that they make called the PB & J beer. Which I got and was delicious! The also have a large menu selection.
When it came to food I got their lamb burger and and misfit chips which were very good. I myself am not a guge kettle chip fan I couldn't stop myself from eating all of the chips on my plate. Also if you haven't had sweet baby jesus yet try it out of the tap it is ridiculously good, and it is easy to see why most stores have trouble keeping it on their shelves.

Visting Arenal via Liberia felt like I need to laugh to keep from crying. Not quite, but my starting Liberia accommodations were a rough beginning. Ahhh but back to La Fortura and Monteverde makes it worth the effort. Pampering, zipping, hiking with flora and fauna felt like I was home.

Arenal Volcano, and the nearby town of La Fortuna, are a great hub for various Costa Rican exciting activities, such as zip-lining or hiking through the forest canopy, river cruises, white water rafting, volcano watching, and visiting volcano-fueled hot springs.

Alamo incorporation? Re-elect Mary Piepho

Re-elect Piepho? You've got to be kidding; I'd rather vote for my neighbors peach-faced parrot.
on Jul 24, 2007 at 5:15 pm
Dear S. Smith,
Does your neighbor's parrot have a name? I am prepared to pay the $960 to register the parrot for the District 3 supervisor's election.
Bless you,
Hal Bailey

Well, it sounds like we're all on the same page...at least 4 of us and hopefully when the time is right, there will be many,many more. Send Ms. Mary Piepho back to Discovery Bay, Concord, Etc, Etc...just vote her out of Alamo.
I'm not that fond of Guy Huston, but the removal of Ms. Piepho will be a big + for the residence of Alamo and we may not even have to incorporate.
Thank you,

Vince, I didn't see your disclaimer "paid for by the Mary Piepho re-election committee", or better yet, "paid for by Mary Piepho with our money when she approved her last salary increase".

Hi, I have a ffmpeg problem that I'm hoping someone can help me sort out:
I'm trying to create a fade-in effect and fade-out effect on a video, but it ends up with some corruption.
Here are the major steps I'm doing:
1) get 3 second segment from the beginning of the video and 3 second segment from end of the video (and keeping a copy of the middle part)
2) add fade in and fade out effects to the small begin/end clips
3) rejoin the three clips back together for an overall fade-in/fade-out
The corruption appears to only effect the middle segment of the video - I get Green Screen flashes, etc.
(there are a few other minor steps I do which I will mention below)
Here is a copy of the ffprobe on the input video (in case it helps)

I have a routine that will tell me the number of seconds in a video, the all.mp4 video is 14 seconds in length
Here is my command I am using to extract the three parts of the video:
ffmpeg -y -i /var/www/all.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:00:03 -sn /var/www/a.tmp.mp4 \
-vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:00:03 -to 00:00:11 -sn /var/www/b.tmp.mp4 \
-vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:00:11 -to 00:00:14 -sn /var/www/c.tmp.mp4
I have a routine that counts the number of frames in a segment, I use it on the a.tmp.mp4 and c.tmp.mp4 files (python code below)
cmd = "ffmpeg -i " + fileName + " -vcodec copy -f rawvideo -y /dev/null 2>&1"
I look at the output and find the number of frames: (python code below)
numFrames = re.search('frame\W+(\d+)', output).group(1)
using the numFrames for a.tmp.mp4 (89) and c.tmp.mp4 (58) I add the fade in and fade out effect:
ffmpeg -i /var/www/a.tmp.mp4 -vf 'fade=in:0:89' -y /var/www/a_withfade.tmp.mp4
ffmpeg -i /var/www/c.tmp.mp4 -vf 'fade=out:0:58' -y /var/www/c_withfade.tmp.mp4
I then create a concat.txt file with the contents:
file 'a_withfade.tmp.mp4'
file 'b.tmp.mp4'
file 'c_withfade.tmp.mp4'
ffmpeg -f concat -i /var/www/concat.txt -c copy -y /var/www/all.mp4
(yes, I want to overwrite my original file)
I have examined each of the three parts of the video individually and they all play fine
(ie, a_withfade.tmp.mp4, b.tmp.mp4 and c_withfade.tmp.mp4)
As I mentioned, the middle portion becomes corrupted as a result of the joining of the files.
Any pointers would be appreciated, I have been working with video for a week+ now so I'm still somewhat of a newcomer to ffmpeg, etc.
I'm guessing that this has to do with the way the mp4 video is compressed vs rawvideo but I'm not really sure.
I have found that some people have fixed corrupted videos using a command like the following (which doesn't help me):
ffmpeg -i all.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy all_fixed.mp4
I can upload the video if it will help, but I suspect that it won't help with this problem.

Results 1 to 2 of 2
try the free NLE AviUtl. At least that will be much easier to do the fading in a GUI.
Make sure you check the "video guide" by x-racer first, and you may dig into the details from the "Non-official guide" by me.
The links to both guides are already listed on AviUtl 's page.

Katy Perry's song, lyrics and video for "E.T." gained great popularity for various reasons. The one reason we are interested in is the occult signification. We posted a series on this issue as follows:
Katy Perry: is "Part of me" an alien, an angel or the devil?
Katy Perry movie: from gospel to godless
Rhianna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Will.I.Am – in space!
Katy Perry's new album Prism "I put all the evidence in the music"
Here are some of the lyrics written by Katy Perry, Max Martin, Lukasz Gottwald and Joshua Emanuel Coleman:
You're so hypnotizing / Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel? / Your touch magnetizing / Feels like I am floating, leaves my body glowing
They say be afraid / You're not like the others, futuristic lover / Different DNA / They don't understand you
You're from a whole other world / A different dimension / You open my eyes / And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
…Infect me with your love and / Fill me with your poison…Take me…Wanna be a victim / Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien / Your touch so foreign / It's supernatural / Extraterrestrial
…Every move is magic…This is transcendental…I wanna walk on your wavelength / And be there when you vibrate / For you I'll risk it all
Understood for that which it is, this song is a virtual invitation for possession. Katy Perry, who has stated, "I sold my soul to the devil," has her, mostly prepubescent fans, going around repeating, "Infect me with your love and / Fill me with your poison…Take me…Wanna be a victim / Ready for abduction." Considering the litigious nature of demonism, this is quite concerning.
Lady Gaga is another pop-occult artist whom we have written of in the following:
The MK Ultra/Monarch interpretation of Lady Gaga's recurring nightmare
The meaning of Lady Gaga's recurring nightmare: influences and programming
The meaning of Lady Gaga's recurring nightmare: sex, blood and exorcism
Lady Gaga has just released a new album, Artpop, which is saturated with encouragement to perform perverse sexual acts. Some of the song titles are Aura, Sexxx Dreams, Jewels N' Drugs, Dope, Applause (how pathetic to have to beg your fans to applaud you). Another song title of interest is, "Do What U Want" which is just a particularly worded quote from Aleister Crowley's "Do what thou wilt" (shall be the whole of the law).
Her song "Venus" picks up where Katy Perry's "E.T." left off. Here are some of the lyrics which were written by Paul Blair, Herman Poole Blount, Hugo Pierre Leclercq, Nick Monson, Stefani Germanotta and Dino Zisis (it is amazing how many people it takes to write pop trash):
Rocket #9 take off to the planet (to the planet) Venus
Aphrodite lady seashell bikini (garden panty) Venus / Let's blast off to a new dimension (in your bedroom) Venus…
I can't help the way I'm feeling / Goddess of love, please take me to your leader / I can't help, I keep on dancing / Goddess of love, goddess of love
…When you touch me, I die / Just a little inside / I wonder if this could be love / This could be love / 'Cause you're out of this world / Galaxy, space, and time / I wonder if this could be love (Venus)
Have an oyster, baby, it's Aphrod-isy / Act sleazy Venus / Worship to the land a girl from the planet (to the planet) / To the planet
…Neptune, go / Now serve Pluto / Saturn, Jupiter / Mercury, Venus, uh ha! / Uranus! / Don't you know my *** is famous? / Mars, now serve for the gods / Earth, serve for the stars!
Note that nine, as in Rocket #9, is the number of the beast as per occult numerological reduction as 6+6+6=18 and 1+8=9 thus, 666=9. So, the song remains the same; songs blurring the lines between the demonic and alien (which are one in the same in such cases) and urge the worshipful sexual union between humans and…something else.

Man charged in burglary/police assault
By 67AM KPUA News
A 22-year old homeless man has been charged with several offenses stemming from Mondays burglary at a condo in the 75-6000 block of Kuakini Highway in Kailua-Kona.
Police, summoned to the scene shortly after 7:00 a.m., said the perpetrator entered the unit through an unlocked door and took several items including a jewelry box, ukulele and cellular phones while the residents were asleep.
Officers were called back to the complex some two hours later after Ian Medeiros was spotted sleeping behind a garage with items matching the description of the stolen goods. Police say one officer was injured when struck on the head by Medeiros while taking him into custody.
Medeiros was charged on Tuesday with second-degree theft, resisting arrest, first-degree assault of a police officer, first-degree terroristic threatening, promoting a dangerous drug and
possessing drug paraphernalia. His bail was set at $10,500.

The article currently states that Zimmerman worked on Star Trek: Voyager however in a recent interview I just read (as above), he states that he never worked on the show. I take it he's been credited in one or more episodes? --| TrekFan Open a channel 13:48, March 2, 2014 (UTC)

Load Up With Calories Packed With Nutrients
Friday, March 22, 2013 2:15 PMã
Nutrition experts are reminding the public that if you are going to load up on calories, make sure they are not empty calories..
(audio below)
Wellness Dietitian expert Gina Haggard, from Blanchard Valley Health System, was a guest on WFIN@Ten and said dark green and dark blue fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals. Haggard pointed out that there are breads, cereals and other food products made from grains which do not raise your blood sugar like conventional wheat flour..
(audio below)
You should also watch your juice intake which can be loaded with calories because of added sugars. Opting to eat an orange once in a while rather than have orange juice or eat an apple rather than drink apple juice is better because the body works harder to digest the fiber.
