Holy Candy Exclusive: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' New Project!
February 3, 2008 | Pop Culture
Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise and a dozen of their closest security guards went out for lunch at Joan's on Third in Los Angeles over the weekend.
While several Web sites have expressed concern that the two are morphing into carbon copies of each other, Holy Candy has learned that Tom and Katie are simply getting into character for their upcoming project:

Aimee says:
The matching outfits are kinda creepy.. actually they are totally creepy!! Tom probably uses his powerful mind control to dress her in the morning.
scott says:
not to mention underneath the planet of the scientologists. Actually my only concern with the all-black outfits, which by the way call up images of doom and Michael Jackson lurking under an umbrella on a sunny day, is the dandruff might stand out like the distants stars. My guess is it wouldn't be quite as romantic or subtle as the twinkling night sky.
stell says:
What a creepy picture! Just imagine what Suri must have looked like that day.
midevil says:
Scott, the church of $cientology does not recognize dandruff.
Bee Hind says:
Tom is wearing black because it's slimming.
Katie is wearing black because she is mourning her single life. -
jewed says:
That photo makes it look like she is a mannequin that he is moving around. I've tried to dress one of those things-it's hard!
gia says:
i think they were going to heath ledgers memorial service after lunch, but regardless they are still creepy. plus it looks like he is twisting her wrist.
omj says:
I must applaud your bravery Candy.
martini lover says:
love the poster!
librarian kathleen says:
Mateo says:
She looks like her battery pack needs a boost.
Mezza says:
How controlling is his body language? One arm around her and the other doing that hapkido-type hold on her wrist. She looks like she's all stiffened up doing the 'don't touch me' thing.
Mmmn, yeah. Madly in love. Oooo, er.

Are You Paying More to Eat Less?
Weight-Loss Doesn't Have to Drain Your Wallet Too! |
So you're dieting, you're trying to lose weight. But then why does it seem like if you're trying to eat less and trying to weigh less, that you're spending more and more? With meal plans, you'll be spending 100s of dollars a month for the food and shipping. Diet pills can quickly add up too, especially when they're mostly over $50 dollars for a bottle! The new trend in "Calorie Counted Packs" which are supposed to help you snack smart cost more than just buying a whole box of whatever food you were after in the first place. It seems like there's always a solution out there…but it costs more than eating 'normal food'! Why pay more to eat less? |
Look at the above illustration, just one tablespoon becomes 9 tablespoons of nutritious chia gel when you add filtered water! How much chia should you eat? As much as it takes for you to feel full when hunger strikes. Chia seeds are extremely safe and all natural. Every bag has over 30 dry tablespoons of chia seeds. | ||||||||||
But how does it all work? MySeeds Chia Seeds are covered in a layer of soluble fiber. This fiber reacts when you add it to liquid and forms a big bead of gel around each seed. This gel has the flavor of the liquid, while the seeds don't have a taste at allthat's how you can add them to nearly anything. Your body cannot easily remove the gel from the seed. It stays on throughout most of the digestive process, only being removed and used to hydrate you while in the intestines. This handy trick keeps your stomach thinking you're full…while all you really ate was a small portion of seeds and the drink of your choice. |
Chia Diet Savings Secrets & Statistics
What food company actually wants you to eat less food? People eating less means people buying less…which is bad for the company's bottom line. Studies have emerged that state the artificial sweeteners in diet sodas and low-calorie alternatives may actually lead people to eat more. Why? Your body recognizes that these chemicals are un-natural and non-nutritious. You don't feel as satisfied, and you may even crave more food. It's counter-productive on all levels. Artificial or pre-prepared foods are also more expensive. The more steps and chemicals that have to go into making something, the more it's going to cost you. What about these seeds then? *With 23% complete protein (yes, the same as that is found in meat) The economy will get better…but wouldn't you like to always- have some extra money to play around with? And for that matter, wouldn't you like to always have better health? With over 30 servings in every bag (plus bonus servings to prevent 'hungry-days' or 'snack attacks') these Chia Seeds can help you accomplish your goals. At less than a dollar a day, they cost less than most diet pills, but unlike chemical concoctions, they're safe and free of side-effects. "With the ability to keep you feeling full, you won't be tempted by expensive calorie-counting snacks or vending machine temptations." (Remember, if you get a .75 cent snack or drink on only 340 days of the year, that's $255 dollars! Most people spend more than 1 dollar getting a snack or coffee.) It's easy, inexpensive and delicious to lose weight and achieve better health when you go with MySeeds Chia Seeds. |

Subtle. . . for the Sixties!
Late Sixties:
Those "Sleeves" are hanging strings. Swingy!
Pop Art comes to da beach!
The graphics and bright color blocks got heavy, Dude
in the Seventies...
I took these photos at the "Fifty Years of Fashion" exhibit at
Ala Moana Shopping Center, celebrating 50 years of both Statehood, and of shopping at "Hawaii's Center," the worlds best people-watching venue, that I can see from my boat.
The garments were on loan from the University of Hawaii's "Historic Costume Collection. "...one of the largest assemblages of garments, textiles, and related artifacts of any American university. It consists of the following four sub collections: Asian, Hawaiian, Ethnic, and Western. "
When the missionaries landed in Hawaii, they dressed just like they had at home. They covered their bodies, not a bad idea in the sub tropical sun, but in black, somber costumes of heavy wool. What's more, they insisted that the Hawaiians cover themselves similarly. The "Mother Hubbard" begat the Mu`u Mu`u. Kiawe trees are sometimes called "missionary thorns" here in the islands because it is said that those Calvinists planted them so that the Hawaiians could be induced to wear shoes (I don't!). This would also have the additional advantage of forcing them to work for money!
With so many cultures brought here to provide labor for King Sugar on the plantation, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean attire have always been part of the Honolulu street scene.
Up to the Sixties, businessmen in Honolulu wore coats and ties - just watch re-runs of HAWAII 5-0. Denizens of our courts continue to dress like their mainland counterparts, though defendants and witnesses are not regarded as disrespectful for appearing in the local attire (Clean t-shirts, work clothes, flip flops). Most men here don't own a suit (or a winter coat ;-)
In Hawaii , for the most part, clothes are less important than your grooming and how you carry yourself. After all, that fat character in ugly beach wear might just be a vacationing Supreme Court Justice from Ohio or Stuttgart. This is not to say that I would not dress properly for a business meeting, interview, or court appearance, but there is much more latitude in Hawaii. Famous writer and professor of Hawaiian Studies, Haunani Trask, is NEVER seen in western clothes at all. She wears a sarong EVERYWHERE. At home, my husband and I adhere to the same local standards of dress. I tie my sarong under my arm-pits, he wears his around his waist with a t-shirt; and yes, I have gone in public wearing only that. In fact, on mainland trips I pack sarongs for lounge/sleepwear, and have even scandalized my hosts by wearing it to dinner! I take being a Hawaii person very seriously and expect the same respect a Scotsman wearing a kilt would demand.
OK, I'll dress properly should you invite me. When in Rome. . .
Tasteful aloha shirts (we know the difference!) dress slacks, and closed shoes are executive work wear here today. And just as one needn't be thin or young to dance hula publicly, I can always hide behind a tasteful, tailored mu`u mu`u and look quite respectable.
ALOHA, my over-dressed friends!! Cloudia

August finally sees the Las Vegas heat start to dissipate. You'd be forgiven for not realizing it, though, since it's only a difference of a few degrees between July's high temperature (106 F or 41.1 C) and August's (102 F or 38.9 C). But if you need some tips to beat the heat, we've got you covered! Pro tip: hit the water.
On the plus side, mornings are lovely, with average lows of 77 F (or about 25 C). That's the perfect time for an early (and often discounted) round at one of the best golf courses in Las Vegas.
Note: the desert sun is intense, so if you spend much time outside, be sure to stay hydrated and sunscreened!
- August 2: First Friday Art Celebration
- August 3–4: Bank of America Museums on Us
- August 10: Second Saturday Vegas StrEATS
- August 15: Thirsty Third Thursday Pub Crawl
- August 23 – 30: Las Vegas Restaurant Week
Plus All Month Long: A special "Win Cards" deal for beginning gamblers; karaoke and dueling pianos at Vegas' Best British Pub 2013; The Outdoor Picture Show every Friday and Saturday night; and the always-fun Sprinkler Run.
At the Riviera Hotel & Casino in August
At the Queen Victoria Pub: Thursday Night Karaoke and Friday/Saturday Night Dueling Pianos
Come discover for yourself why The Queen Victoria Pub is Vegas' Best British Pub for 2013: work your way through the hundreds of craft beers available while you join a fun crowd belting out classic tunes. Open seven days a week, our Pub is located near the casino floor and features honest-to-goodness pub grub.
Win Cards
Here's a terrific offer for beginning players: the perfect chance to learn how to play the quintessential casino games and score some cool (and helpful!) souvenirs. Learn more about the Riviera's 100,000 square foot casino.
Classic Vegas Shows
Of course, no trip to Vegas would be complete without taking in a show. No matter your taste, we have just the right experience for you. Ready to be awed? Check out ILLUSIONS starring magician Jan Rouven. Yearning to be titillated and tantalized? You can't beat the sexy new Crazy Girls 25th Anniversary show. Meanwhile, our Comedy Club is a terrific spot to tickle your funny bone.
August 23 – 30: Restaurant Week
Various locations
If you'll be visiting Vegas this week, you can take advantage of a once-a-year opportunity to sample some of our finest restaurants at a fraction of the price it normally costs. Better yet, proceeds from the event benefit Three Square, Southern Nevada's only food bank. A full listing of restaurants and menus will be available at their website in early August; participants in past years have included restaurants across the city operating under some of Sin City's top chefs. Come hungry!
Recurring & Ongoing Monthly Events
All Month: Outdoor Picture Show
'The Green' at the District, adjacent to Whole Foods Market
East side of Green Valley Parkway, at I–215 in Henderson, NV – Map
The District at Green Valley Ranch is a mixed-use community that offers plenty of mid-range to high-end shopping and dining. During the warm months, they present the free "Outdoor Picture Show" on Friday and Saturday nights, a screening of classic and older films suitable for the whole family. This month, they'll be showing:
Aug 2: Flipper

Illinois Beats Nebraska for Sixth Win in Seven Games
But Illinois, which had five players in double figures, kept punching back. Tracy Abrams (16 points), Brandon Paul (14), D.J. Richardson (13), Myke Henry (12, nine rebounds) and Nnanna Egwu (10) all had their moments. Even Tyler Griffey's lone basket, a three-pointer when the
Illini trailed 49-45, was important.

To the Editor:
I was angry and insulted and hurt. I was also lucky. On Feb. 23rd I attended a talk held at Afrikan Heritage House, given by former Black Panther and community organizer, Charles Barron. I have an interest in the history and function of civil rights in the United States, and was anxious to attend a talk by a man who has played such a role in this history as Charles Barron has. I got much more than I expected.
Mr. Barron's talk lasted about an hour and a half with questions from the audience. He had many good things to say. He reminded the audience to be proud of what they were. He praised the African American students for getting to college despite the adversities that they were confronted with. He also warned his audience of around 60 people that the ugliness of racism is still prevalent at every echelon of society, from the neighborhood to the executive boardroom. He received much applause that he rightly deserved and a fair amount that I feel he did not.
Because along with a message of positive encouragement for African Americans, came a strong message filled with gross generalizations about whites. For example, Mr. Barron grouped white males in the United States into a huge and conspiratorial fraternity of good old boys perpetuating racism towards blacks. He also suggested that such tyrants as Moamar Quadafi and Fidel Castro were demonized simply because of their color.
Leaving Mr. Barron's talk, I was quite angry and felt personally attacked. I no longer feel this way. Upon further reflection I have stopped looking at Mr. Barron's talk as a statement of how far civil rights in this nation have yet to travel, and have begun to look at it as dramatic illustration of how far they have come.
Thirty or forty years ago, the tables would have been turned. African Americans and other ethnicities were allowed a very limited voice with which to speak their views, and many were ruined or laid down their lives in the pursuit of a society in which all voices would be accepted regardless of the speaker's race or beliefs. That a speaker with such potentially accepted inflammatory views as Mr. Barron can speak his message at public forums in settings like universities and city halls is a tribute to the changes in our society that persons like himself have fought to bring about.
I strongly disagreed with Mr. Barron about many points in his talk, but his presentation illustrated to me just how far our society as a whole has progressed towards being a place where each of us can freely speak our mind.

Dunbar Defeats Anacostia to Win Turkey Bowl
Elton Hayes | 11/22/2012, 10:19 p.m.
Crimson Tide Fends Off Indians 12-8
Visibly frustrated, Anacostia quarterback DeQuan Turner trudged over to his team's sideline in the third quarter. He just coughed up the ball on a fumble at Dunbar's 19-yard line, and stalled a nine-play, 62-yard drive. With points at a premium in the game, Turner knew the mistake could prove costly.
Anacostia head coach Cato June walked the young player over to one of the team's aluminum benches, pulled him close and whispered a few words into his ear. June then patted his quarterback's shoulder pads and walked away.
"I told him to just believe," said the first-year head coach. "Part of your job as a head coach is to be a motivator. I told him to just believe that we were going to win. I told him to be the one [player] who was going to be the hero."
Turner would get that opportunity a quarter later, but watched as it slipped away. Facing fourth-and-one at Dunbar's two-yard line, Turner took the snap from center, rolled to his right and heaved the football in Don'Tae Lee's direction as Lee sprinted toward the right corner of the end zone. The spirited Anacostia crowd fell silent as Turner's pass, and Anacostia's last chance to win, sailed over Lee's outstretched hands and bounced on the turf.
Dunbar defeated Anacostia 12-8 on Thursday, Nov. 22 at Eastern High School in Northeast to capture the 2012 District of Columbia Interscholastic Athletic Association (DCIAA) Varsity Football Championship. Anacostia replaced disqualified Wilson High School last weekend when District of Columbia Public Schools officials discovered that a Wilson player lived in Maryland, following the player's arrest. Wilson defeated Anacostia 40-20 on Nov. 10 in the DCIAA semifinals.
While Anacostia didn't boast the same regular season record and semifinal victory as Wilson, Dunbar head coach Jerron Joe, 25, didn't take his new opponent for granted.
"I knew going into this game that [Anacostia] plays extremely hard," Joe said. "They're a well-coached team. I informed my guys that regardless of the circumstances with everything going into the Turkey Bowl, they still need to play hard. It's just great how resilient my guys were today."
Dunbar, which played in its third straight Turkey Bowl, struggled early in Anacostia territory against the Indians' defense. It took the Crimson Tide offense three trips before it scored its first points. Dunbar quarterback Lamal Matthews connected with James Duff for a nine-yard touchdown pass with 8:48 remaining in the second quarter to give Dunbar a 6-0 lead after an unsuccessful two-point conversion attempt.
Matthews, a senior, ended the game with 182 yards through the air and a touchdown while adding another 60 on the ground. Dunbar's fiery leader earned Offensive Player of the Game honors for his championship-worthy performance.
"To end this way, feels great," said Matthews after Thursday's game. "We weren't really paying too much attention [to] the situation with Wilson. We didn't pay it any mind. We knew that we played our way here. But to go out with a championship in my senior year, feels great."
With the disqualification of Wilson, Anacostia coaches had to quickly assemble a game plan on short notice. But the Indians appeared ready to play.
Turner finished the Turkey Bowl with 202 passing yards and a touchdown and 74 yards rushing. Turner's favorite target, wide receiver Tyray Johnson, snagged seven catches for 74 yards and a touchdown.
June, who was hired to revive a listless football program, hopes that Thursday's Turkey Bowl appearance is just the first of many.
"You really can't put into words, the feeling that you have when you're out there playing in the Turkey Bowl," said June, 33, who played on the Anacostia team that defeated Dunbar in the 1995 Turkey Bowl. "I want this team to understand and feel what it's like to be a winner. Now that they've tasted and felt it, it means something. And they'll remember that. I'm just proud of the way they represented Anacostia and Southeast."

Hey guys! Since Megatokyo Forums are my own facebook/twitter rant space I wanted to remind everyone of that shooting in Florida.
For those that don't know - Zimmerman shot an unarmed 17 year old Trayvon while Trayvon was kicking his ass. With Florida's self-defense laws Zimmerman shot Trayvon in defense. This brought about the wrath of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (of course). Zimmerman (half-hispanic) represents all those racist white tea-baggers that believe in the second amendment as their right to shoot anything that moves. Trayvon (after finding his facebook) is then shown as a typical black gangbanger/thug for the crime of posing on facebook (he should of tried the duck-face). So yay we're all racist! BUT before I get to that I have a simple question/racist grenade: why is it that a black teenager gets shot and the whole country gets pissed off but a white college student gets capped and this isn't even front page news? |

The 'newsworthyness' differs in that in the case of the Miss State shooting, iirc, they have a suspect in custody (or two), and regardless, it is an ongoing investigation. In the Martin case, the person that actually shot Martin was not held for any length of time, not drug tested/alcohol tested, nor was a background check run, and the case was essentially shelved by Sanford PD before all the hooplah was made about it. So really, it wasn't the supposed racism of the shooters/victims in either case, but the actions of the police involved that generated (or in Miss State case, did not generate) the initial buzz. If Sanford PD had not initially shithandled the whole event, then the Martin Case would still be tragic, sad, and have some uproar, but would not be as egregiously big of a deal (probably). |

...I mean we have a perfectly good thread containing stupidity over there. Why generate more?
Manual is right where the big issue is the way the police handled it. Investigators and senior officials should have recognized the situation as "potentially explosive" and handled it properly because now we don't know what happened beyond some guy shot an unarmed kid.

You know, on a semi-related note, wouldn't this thread be better off in the Party System forums?
If my hunch is right, it'll end up a lot like the Atheism-Debate Thread, and turn into another political battleground between the two usual MTF tribes... That said, to be related, I agree with Manual. From what little I've read, most of the bad feeling at first came from the way the case was handled, and the hints of racial tension seeped in later. Now, if I read the headlines lately, right, there are claims that the kid who was shot may have attacked first. I don't know, since I'm on my way to work, I can't really confirm at the moment either. Maybe trawl MSNBC.com? I think that's where I saw it... |

Concerning the point of why didn't the police run a background check on Zimmerman, from what I have read in the various articles the police had already run a full background check on him recently because he was in the process of wanting to become a police officer. As to why the media is trying to create a frenzy with the Martin/Zimmerman issue, it's been a while since they had a Bernhard Goetz type story to run.

So why does this need another thread? In before QQ white people, everything is racism against you! Also in before white people or Asians on this board go and QQ about reverse racism despite the fact that they still clearly benefit from white/Asian priviage because they magically get MOST the honors classes and jobs even in situations where there's a just as qualified POC available. Also also in before someone on this board says there is no such thing as reverse racism. Black people can beat up whites and Asians while screaming racist epithets and it won't be racism because backs are the one-down power dynamic. Racism only exists when a privileged group fucks a less privileged group. Also also also in before someone on this board hints that racism is ONLY hostile, there is no such thing as beneficial racism (or beneovalent sexism for that matter). Rock on wiggers and wapanese. Also also also also in before someone misses my point and thinks I'm being a racist scumbag that's against acculturation. This post has been edited by harahara on Mar 27 2012, 12:34 PM |

Read my lips... Group: Mafiosi Posts: 4417 Member No.: 57659 Joined: 29-January 07 |
Personally, I think they are both stupid people.
Trayvon was suspended for possession of marijuana, and probably attacked Zimmerman when he wouldn't leave Trayvon alone. Regardless of how much someone is annoying me, I wouldn't attack them unless I felt genuinely threatened, but it sounds like he had the right to just walk away and ignore him. That said, Zimmerman obviously did not back off from following Trayvon around, despite being told numerous times by the 911 operator that he should do so. Zimmerman also escalated the situation to deadly force when he came under attack by Trayvon. So really, they are both wrong. The situation was unnecessarily escalated, and Zimmerman shouldn't have been allowed to have a firearm, but Trayvon shouldn't have attacked him. I know weapons don't kill people, people kill people, but stupid people shouldn't be allowed to have weapons in the first place, especially when they can't exercise control. This is why I don't like weapons in the hands of civilians, because they can't exercise discipline and don't have the knowledge to read whether a situation dictates the necessity of deadly force. Personally, I don't see racism here between the two individuals. Stupidity, certainly. But not racism. Now, as for how the police handled things or their handling of the issue being racially-motivated, I cannot really say. If they did not follow certain protocol when it came to investigating the situation (i.e. checking Zimmerman for drugs/alcohol, etc.) then that of course needs to be addressed, but honestly, I think this is going to come down to Zimmerman pissing his pants like the coward that he was after getting his ass kicked by a high-schooler and shooting Trayvon because he was so scared that an unarmed kid was going to kill him. Also, Obama's really stepped in it by calling this a national tragedy. 9/11 was a National Tragedy. This is stupid people being stupid. Hardly comparable. |

I'm with you here.
I'm not with you here. Why should all civilians suffer for the dumbasses? Why should a responsible civilian be denied the oppurtuntiy to defend themself? And there's been plenty of times that military men loose control as well. Also, one last thing, Trayvon may have been in the right when he attacked Zimmerman. It's not really clear who attacked who first. Suspicious of Martin as the teenager walked inside the gated community he was patrolling on Feb. 26, Zimmerman followed him in his SUV. He called 911 to say Martin, who was walking in the rain to the home of his father's fiancée, looked as if he was up to no good because he had pulled the hood of his sweatshirt over his head. The 911 operator told Zimmerman to stop following Martin and await the arrival of police. Zimmerman ignored that order. At some point, he got out of his SUV and shot Martin. Zimmerman claims he used deadly force only after being attacked by the teen. Phone records show Martin was talking to his girlfriend seconds before he was shot. The unnamed 16-year-old says Martin told her someone was following him. Then she heard a man demand to know what Martin was doing in that neighborhood before the cellphone went dead. source This post has been edited by harahara on Mar 27 2012, 01:16 PM |

Setting aside the situation, the problems appear elsewhere. Why did the police automatically believe the survivor? Ultimately no one but Zimmerman knows for sure what happened where even he may not know for sure but it should not be ignored he has the best reason to spin his side of the story. Not even approaching CSI level of investigation there are enough questions about the Zimmerman's side of the story that it would have caused an investigator to have doubts. So far people aren't getting that vibe from the police which is what is causing a lot of the worries.
I will not be surprised if people dig into the backgrounds of both Martins and Zimmerman that they find both were not saints. I will not be surprised Martins is more like kids found around the nation who get into trouble and dabble in stuff kids shouldn't be into. I will not be surprised Zimmerman is overly paranoid or exhibits some behavior that is borderline paranoid and manic. None of that matters to the investigation that should have happened just on the facts of the event. Right now the police appear incompetent or don't care or worse. That is the big problem. ps. Did Obama call it a national tragedy? I guess I am listening to wrong (or maybe correct) news. This post has been edited by Tomar on Mar 27 2012, 03:07 PM |

This is where it gets tricky because he was (supposedly) being attacked. Therefore one could argue that the force was justified with Florida's stand your ground law even though zimmerman was an idiot who tried to play wannabe cop and put himself in a dangerous situation. The main point of handguns is self-defense and one can't really be expected to know what to do when on your back getting your ass kicked by a thug with no one helping you (yes again he was stupid for putting himself in that situation). Truth be told I would probably do the same thing if I had someone slamming my head into the sidewalk. It's a little impracticable to brandish a firearm and yell freeze when someone is curb stomping your face into the ground. I also am going to disagree with you on the allowing civilains weapons part and the military knows better than civilians on use of force part. Just my opinion. |

Who again was beating the piss out of that armed watchmen - who was alone at night and panicked. Not always justifiable to cap someone kicking your ass but this was kind of a grey area, it depends on the situation and the jury. I would call it justified, you probably wouldn't. |

There had been a number of break ins in the area, weirdo. The first thing I heard about this story was that it was a white guy that chased down a black kid and shot him when he reached in his pocket for a packet of skittles. Then we wonder why there's a massive controversy. Good job media. |

The rage behind the shooting is more that Zimmerman has only been questioned and police have made no attempt to press the issue. There's enough misinformation and lack of information that people think this shouldn't be the case. Even if Zimmerman was acting completely in self defense, there are enough conflicting reports that you have to investigate this thoroughly which seems too late at this point.
I'm not saying that Zimmerman should go to jail if he defended himself, but the simple fact of the matter is that manslaughter might have been committed and the Sanford police have done a poor job in convincing the public they did their due diligence in their investigation. |

Here's probably my favorite current article on the issue. Quoting in full, because it's not that long:
"Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the facts of the case are basically as Zimmerman's defenders claim: Zimmerman killed Martin because Martin was beating him up and Zimmerman felt his life was in danger. Even so, it seems to me that Zimmerman should do jail time for killing Martin. Here are some things we know about the case: 1) A man with a gun pursued an unarmed teenager who had done nothing wrong. 2) The man with the gun initiated a confrontation with the teenager. I realize that we don't know exactly how any fight between Zimmerman and Martin started. And we never will, because only Zimmerman knows the details, and he's not exactly unbiased. But by my lights, if you pursue an innocent, law-abiding citizen, thereby giving him or her reason to believe that you mean them harm -- and reason to conclude that their self-defense may require fighting--you have initiated a confrontation. Zimmerman will presumably depict his role in the encounter as passive. That testimony should count for roughly nothing, but in any event I'd say that even if it's true, he still initiated a confrontation just by pursuing a guy in the dark until he caught up with him. (And he did that even though he knew he was violating the rules of the Neighborhood Watch game and in fact had just been reminded of that by a 911 dispatcher!) 3) As a result of the confrontation, the man with the gun shot the teenager to death. When I see pictures of George Zimmerman I actually feel kind of sorry for him (though not as sorry as I feel for Trayvon Martin), and if his defenders are right about what happened then I should feel even sorrier for him. Still, do we want to live in a society where somebody with a gun can chase down an unarmed, law-abiding citizen, presumably scaring them to death, then kill them after a fight unsurprisingly breaks out--and still get off scot-free? Do you want every wannabe cop in America reading that this sort of thing is legal? Do you think America's actual cops want to live in a world like that? If we don't want to live in a world like that, then the law shouldn't let George Zimmermans kill Trayvon Martins. And if Florida law now allows for things like this to happen, and Zimmerman gets off the hook, then after this case is over, the law should change." |

Er, no. Even if you put yourself in a bad situation (but do not provoke violence), if someone else then chooses to put your life in danger it's not your fault.
So if someone comes up to me in a non-threatening manner and initiates a 'confrontation' even though there's no physical threat to me, I have the right to beat him to death? Really? Not that that's what happened here. This post has been edited by TheWinkel on Mar 27 2012, 07:57 PM |

Disability Rights Activists Block Traffic; Protest MBTA Fare Increases
BOSTON/State House - Six disability rights activists blocked Beacon Street for nearly an hour Monday afternoon to protest a proposed increase in the cost of using MBTA services that amounts to a doubling of the cost for many riders. Chanting "if we can't ride you can't drive" the wheelchair bound activists stopped traffic on Beacon Street in front of the General Hooker entrance of the State House. Other activists ran a long silver chain and padlocked five of the six chairs together. Members of the Mass Senior Action Council and housing advocates with Jamaica Plain-based City Life/Vida Urbana participated as well but did not block the street. Attorneys with the National Lawyers Guild observed the protest. Drivers backed up for as far as the eye could see down Beacon Street honked their horns to encourage the protesters to move. Proposed increases in fares to the trains and the "The Ride" van used by seniors and the disabled to go to work and get around the city will pose an insurmountable hurdle say advocates. The protest began a few minutes after 12 noon. Boston Police arrived approximately fifteen minutes later and tried to convince the group to move out of the street and onto the sidewalk. Attempting to strike a compromise an officer Lieutenant Tom Lee asked that at least one protester move his chair so that a lane could be formed to allow cars to drive down Beacon. James Brooks an organizer with City Life and one of the protest leaders refused to have the group move. He told police their demand was to reach out to Governor Deval Patrick and have him speak directly to the protesters. The Governor has the power to veto MBTA fare increases as proposed currently. No one from the Governor's office was seen meeting with the disability protesters publicly. It was not clear whether or not the Governor was aware of the protest. In a statement issued Monday and emailed to Open Media Boston Governor Patrick's Press Secretary Kimberly Haberlin said "The Governor as well as members of his administration have met directly with commuters throughout this process including at the 30 public hearings held across the state. We value the public's input and recognize they helped shape the final proposal which avoids the most drastic cuts. That said we know this plan is a one-time patch and we need a permanent financing solution to the broken and underfunded transportation system we inherited. While we have taken important steps to reform streamline and reduce costs at our transportation agencies we must have an honest conversation about what kind of system we want and how to pay for it. We will need the commuters who were here today to continue to engage as we work with the Legislature on a long-term fix." The state legislature which must approve the "T" budget including a 100% increase for "The Ride " has not shown much willingness to reduce the fare hikes or develop other funding mechanisms. Police were visibly reluctant to physically remove the demonstrators. At one point two officers tried to move activist Brian Shay and his electric wheelchair which was locked in place and very difficult to budge. Lieutenant Lee explained that if necessary the protesters would be removed from their chairs and placed in the back of a police wagon possibly risking injury to the disabled demonstrators. At that point approximately 50 minutes into the demonstration James Brooks conferred with the other protesters and agreed it was not wise to risk injury while being arrested. Vowing to return and block traffic again if necessary the protesters said they were angry but not deterred from their struggle to make sure riding mass transportation is affordable. They renewed their demand that Governor Patrick agree to veto the MBTA fare hikes. Due to a reporting error Officer Thomas Lee was incorrectly listed as a Lieutenant. His rank in the Boston Police is that of Captain. Bookmark/Search this post with: Delicious Digg StumbleUpon Reddit Newsvine Facebook Google Yahoo Technorati

Battle Royale: Five smartphone screens face off
With the recent release of DisplayMate Multimedia Edition for Mobile Displays, a battery of tests to measure the quality of portable screens--and apparently because I'm a glutton for punishment--I thought now would be the perfect time to bring five popular smartphones back to CNET Labs for a down-and-dirty comparison of their screen performance.
The five phones I chose to put through the ringer (ahem) are the Samsung Behold II, the Motorola Droid, the Apple iPhone 3GS, the HTC Nexus One by Google, and the Palm Pre Plus. These five were chosen because of their relative popularity and similar feature sets.
We used three different types of tests to evaluate each phone:
Scientific measurements: We used the Konica Minolta CS-200 ChromaMeter to test the maximum brightness, black level, and contrast ratio of each phone and reported numbers for each of these three tests.
Test pattern screens: We used several DisplayMate Mobile test patterns to test for color-tracking errors, 24-bit color, and font legibility, among others.
Real-world: Finally, we conducted real-world anecdotal testing using 3D games, photos, and a little tool I like to call "the Sun" to test the diffuse reflectance of each display.
All test screens were viewed within each phone's native gallery application. Some phones may handle pictures differently--and even improve them to some extent--outside the application. That said, we believe that testing within the respective gallery applications is still a viable test as this is where most users will view pictures on their phones.
In order to diminish potential repetition, I'll dive right into the details of how each phone performed; if you'd like to know more about our tests, you can binge off nerdy details in our "How we tested" section at the bottom of this article. Please note that this is an evaluation of each phone's screen performance and nothing else. Check out the full reviews of these phones to determine which is right for you. Also, DisplayMate recently conducted a more technically focused evaluation of the iPhone 3GS' and the Nexus One's screens that I recommend you take a look at.

He has been recognized with the American Cancer Society Professorship of Clinical Oncology.
He describes his areas of special interest as "wellness as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual-financial model" and fitness, mind-body connection, aging and burnout.
Dr. Creagan has been an associate medical editor with Mayo Clinic's health information websites and has edited publications and CD-ROMs and reviewed articles.
"We the team of (the website) provide reliable, easy-to-understand health and wellness information so that each of us can have productive, meaningful lives," he says.

Forgiving: Forgive others to start healing
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.
37 comments posted
A routine checkup for one of my patients turned into something far more powerful. My patient had undergone surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, but he's now cancer-free and looking forward to a life of health and well-being. As we visited, I asked him about his family and his business.
Need more help? |
If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
He was quiet for a few moments and then tearfully responded that a devoted young colleague had been tragically killed in an industrial accident. As head of the company, my patient was devastated. He said he'd requested an outside review of the company's systems and procedures. State and governmental agencies documented that every reasonable safeguard had been followed. This was simply a tragic mistake.
Often these situations ignite an avalanche of anger, bitterness and recrimination, followed by bitter, protracted lawsuits that drag on forever. In this case, however, none of this happened. Of course, the family was overwhelmed with feelings of grief and loss, but they did not strike out against the company. Their belief system was deeply anchored in forgiveness. They embraced the notion of a grand plan that unfolds according to a greater purpose.
The family reached out to my patient and publicly forgave him and his company, allowing the healing to begin. It is a rare person who has the gift of total forgiveness in the face of devastating loss. But it reminds us that during tragic times we find sources of strength and peace to keep us going.
What other lessons can we learn from this experience and what stories can you share about the power of forgiveness?

Forgive and forget does not work , when you feel your whole life with someone(40+)years has been one BIG LIE.finding out that your husband had sex the nite before your wedding and has lived his life doing what ever makes him feel good. You trying to keep your family together so your kids did not have to go through a divorce . holding on for all those years has stolen you joy. there has been some good times but feeling you have been cheated out of the best years of your life really hurts.Finding out about an affair and sex on the internet 4yrs ago, makes you wonder just what has be going on. sad to say you only married this man because you were pg at 19.and trapped, unable to have the courage to change. You feel you have been cheated out of life, so you stay in a mentally abusive marriage because in your generation and religious beliefs holds you back (1970s). you are trapped with small children and no education except a stay at home mom. Finding out about thing by hearing taped conversations really tells the truth ,althought the person denies all. Anger, deceptions.and revenge is all that fulls your days for 12 months now. HOW DO YOU HEAL AND LIVE HAPPY AGAIN.

On 27th January 2013 what i saw caused my heart beat stop for 5 mins.My 1 year relationships which i took it very serious, devouted, did everything for this man, never to know he was going to break my heart, He visited me at the house and then he told me he was going to see his parents who happen to stay near my house, After 20 mins i felt things were not right and decided to go to his house Oh my God, he was on top of another women. I saw darkness.I jumped over the gate, he had not closed the bedroom window so i saw it. Since then i have tried to move on and i am unable, i loved and trusted this man so much.I have tried to forgive him and no. it cant happen. I always feel that the only cure is to revenge. Up to date am still fighting this depression, it affected me very much. I was depressed up to today whenever i remember that day my heart throbs fast.I cant forgive him.

I was abused in all forms by the father of my son. My relatives/family wants me to file case and sue the GUY, but I decided not too. I even reach the point of killing myself after a month that I gave birth to my son. My life was too miserable. Then one day, I wake up thanking God for the life that He gave me. I even doubt myself that I passed all of them. When I tell people about the store of my life. I'm amazed that I was too strong to pass that challenges. Now my son is now 5 years old and I leave a very simple life and I'm happy. Without hatred to the GUY. I see him with his family, still he haven't changed. I forgive him and now I leave in happiness with my son. forgiveness is possible — even if reconciliation isn't.

Holding on to anger and bitterness is easy, but forgiving is hard. In my case I had to look at my own actions and understand that I was partly to blame for the situation but in cases of abuse the child is never to blame. As we all work thru our own issues I hope we can all find the strength inside to "let it go" so our anger does not affect the loved ones surrounding us. I pray I find the strength soon and I am grateful to those who have shared their stories.

Forgiveness is not an emotional decision. It is a deliberate act of the will. My only motivation for forgiving was a desire to honor that command given by my LORD. My feelings did not agree with my confession for over two full weeks, but my will and desire prevailed, and breakthrough came. The freedom from that load was worth the struggle! That was over thirty years ago, and I still remember the thrill of being free! Since then, I have had many opportunities to be unforgiving, but did I grab on to them? NO WAY! Not after discovering the joy and liberty of forgiveness, not after knowing that if I refuse to forgive, I place myself under a curse, and I am open to being oppressed and in torment! Read Matt. 18:21-end. Nevertheless, it is possible that un-forgiveness is so deep-rooted that one might not even recognize it! Here is an exercise that helped me...you may try it and see. Ensure you have some private time alone, and invite the Lord Jesus in to help you forgive in the end. List the name up to 5 persons you may be angry with, or have a judgment against. Select one to write to; tell what they did, how it made you feel (don't be afraid to re-experience the emotion), tell how it has affected your life up to now, and what you are doing about it today (forgive)! It has done miracles for me - over and over again! Test it, and enjoy the freedom that comes from honoring God by forgiving others!

My dad was abusive and violent towards me. Years after I left home in a pohne call from him where he was being bitter about my sister I stopped him talking. I camly told him that even though he had done so much harm to me I wanted him to know something. I said " I forgive you". As I was putting the phone down I could hear him having a breakdown, he sounded like he was affronted. I didn't think before I said it, it just came out. And I ment it. And it was like Id been carrying something heavy and awful around that he gave me and I only noticed when I handed it back to him. The relief was amazing. Then for some reason I started laughing,for ages, tears running down my face. When my dad died a few years ago, I was holding his hand. I can't always manage forgiveness, but I always try, now that I know how amazing it feels.

Forgiveness has been difficult throughout my life. My so called brother sexually abused me when I was five years old and beyond and my so called father emotionally and physically abused me from the time I was 5-13. I took it upon my self to try and kill myself in order to get away from this abused. I spent several weeks in the hospital and then I returned back home to only be put back this situation. I'm 67 years of age and still live with the scars of abuse. I'm the youngest of 14 children and was the only one that had sustained this abuse making me believe I wasn't his son and to this day none of my siblings have anything to do with me. One thing that kept me going and forgiving is the love of Jesus Christ that lived within my life throughout this abuse. I've learned to forgive but well never forget. Keep me in yours prayers.

How can you forgive domestic violence against children receiving mental health problems after I for my part, avoid all contact with my ex-husband who has exposed our daughter and in addition, believes that he has right on his side and that there was a plea for help A man with such big psychological problem should probably be treated by health care and not by me Sorry yes I am bitter for our children's lost childhood and because I did not and could protect it against her father's father was and I deeply regret that I did not understand and saw that she was difficult because of him. And I can not bring myself to ask her to tillgi - but I recommend her to either confront him with the injustice he has done or prevent him One should not tolerate so much wealth allden injustice that affects everyone but themselves. Violence athlete should have to stand accountable for their actions and not be treated as if it was a shame and let them continue with the As long as there are dangers for igjentakelser is there too little purpose to meet it with love.

I am glad I found this site! I have been struggling with forgiving some co-workers for their actions that were directed to me. After I go over the pain and feeling of distrust, I wanted to find a way to get back at them. I realize now, that this makes no sense and I am spending my time in the wrong places. As I have asked often for forgiveness, I now find it's my turn to forgive those who wanted to disrespect me. I am gaining strength each day and my feeling of seeking revenge lessens. I have forgiven them

Forgiveness isn't really about the other person. It's about you, setting the prisoner free only to discover the prisoner was you. When you hang on to anger, hatred and resentment because of something someone did to you, you are the only one who is paying the price. You will bring poison into every area of your life as long as you hang on to all that bitterness and unforgiveness. Forgiving someone, as hard as it is to do, will allow you the freedom you need to release yourself from the emotional prison you have been placed into with this person by not being able to forgive. It is not about them, and whether they deserve to be forgiven, it's about you and being true and kind to yourself so you can move on.

Nice post, Dr. Creagan. It takes a very special person to find the courage to forgive another. When I was nine years old, I was given my last rite because they thought I was going to die. At a time where most humans would have someone around for comfort, I had no such luck. All I needed was someone to sit next to me and say:"I'm here for you." I called upon a middle-aged woman--a family friend and begged or her presence. Her answer was:"Leave me alone; I 'm not your mother." Amazingly, I defied Mr. Death. Well, that's another big story. However, years later, fate brought that same woman into my life under the most amazing circumstance. She was sick, homeless and lonely. I nursed her back to health and cared for her as if she were my own mother. I never once mentioned the past.

I agree, as a Christian I know I have to forgive, but it seems SO hard to forgive an absive man who mentally and physically abused my daughter in front of her 9 year old son! I may someday be able to forgive, but I feel I NEVER want to see him again! On topofit, he is SUCH an opinionated man!

people think of it this way everybody has to forgive at one point in life,its the test of life everybody gets a turn,to learn from the experience is to forgive or you be in pain so ones you learn that be wise about who you choose to share your self with,not everybody has gone thru the test,its all a learning process to know your self is to know the other one love..so hurry up and learn dont you want to know what happeneds next. apply this info where it best fits

I tend to be a giver. I give to much and when there is a disagreement, I end up expendable. It seems to me that people that are continually abrassive and than do something nice end up having better realationships and luck than I have had. Moving forward has been difficult. I always want validation that I know I'll never get. Any tips on forgiveness?

On so many levels I disagree and find this article manipulative emotionally, psychologically and just plain shallow. Forgiveness is not ever to relieve others of blame or responsibility. Forgiveness actually heals those who have been hurt and impacted by whatever event has occurred. One can forgive forever the person or entity who has caused or somehow helped to create suffering, but that action does not create any change in others. It creates change in the one doing the forgiving. People who have been forgiven and want to be forgiven will find this life changing and an event that is meaningful, but forgiveness in and of itself does nothing to those who have caused harm. This article while expressing a noble ideal, loses it's credibility when it glorifies forgiveness as some healing component to happiness and well being for someone that may be at fault for another s pain. I found this article too shallow and emotionally button pushing. By the way I have been the forgiver of the person who raped me and murdered my friend, but that act of forgiveness has not impacted the person who did those acts. Letting go is not forgetting what happened, that act was so horrendous. Letting go was the act of "not being victimized" by what happened, but moving on with my life rather than staying stuck in that moment. Whether the doer repents or not is of no concern, I choose to move on and not be further victimized by an insane act. My act of forgiving didn't mean becoming an amnes

Jane, I agree that forgiveness is a form of letting go, and that the two are not necessarily the same. But to clarify the earlier comment, I view forgiveness as primarily different from reconciliation or forgetting, because the latter two are contingent on the assent of someone else whose choices are beyond control. But forgiveness is the free choice of its grantor to let go of resentment or chances for retribution. It is the act of allowing oneself the freedom to move forward that is the gift of forgiveness. If forgiveness were dependent upon the (all too rare) expressions of genuine contrition and repentance of an offending party, then opportunities for forgiveness would be proportionally limited, and it's hard to see the capacity to forgive constrained in that way. In sum, forgiveness is more than *merely* letting to--it's moving forward in freedom, without rancor, without regret, without contingency--and therein lies its power to mobilise one's life to the better in the present and going forward. This is just one individual's viewpoint.

Perhaps there is a difference in "letting go" and "forgiveness." Letting go of an injustice is a decision to free ourselves from something in the past that harmed us. It is a decision to move on with our lives with greater freedom. Forgiveness is a response to honest repentance. Forgiveness involves at least an attempt at reconciliation and a healing of a relationship. If there is no repentance, perhaps the best we can do is "let go."
