I really listened to them when they were on terrestrial radio...I gave them a fair shot just like I gave Bubba a fair shot...I did not like any of them. And then one time I saw those two asshats on Letterman and Opie just grinned like an idiot when Dave was calling them the new bad boys of radio...I hated him ever since.
I liked O&A and Howard. Best was when Howard was on during the drive into work and O&A on the way home. Guess that was weird. Plus I would listen to Imus when Howard was in a 30 min commercial break.

New Londonderry church construction ahead of schedule
On Friday morning, around 60 members of the Orchard Christian Fellowship stood on the sidewalk, watching in silence as construction crews hoisted the church steeple onto the building's roof. Construction on the 5,800-square-foot church, which is located next door to the town's Historic Society complex on Pillsbury Road, began in early December.
Pastor Ken Glazier said the goal is for the 325-member congregation to move into its new home by July 1, though with the project coming along way ahead of schedule, that day might come somewhat sooner.
Project manager Steve Miron of Northpoint Construction in Hudson said that despite the snowy winter, things are coming along quite well. Miron said the 25-member construction crew has made significant progress.
Glazier said his congregation, which currently holds its Sunday worship services and Christian education programs at Matthew Thornton Elementary School, continues to grow.
On a recent Sunday, parishioners entered the new building with Sharpie markers in hand, leaving heartfelt personal messages and their favorite Bible verses on the building's interior walls.
"We're beyond excited to finally have a permanent place to call home," Glazier said.
Parishioner Lee Carvill, who serves on the church building committee, said the finished facility would seat up to 300 people and also feature a lobby area, an office and a nursery.
Orchard Christian Fellowship was formed in 2008, after a group of parishioners split from the nearby Londonderry Presbyterian Church to form its own congregation.
Updates on the construction process will be posted regularly on the church's Facebook page, The Orchard.

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
In Sula, Toni Morrison explores a community's role in the individual's search for wholeness. The story begins at the end, after the African American community known as "the Bottom" has been destroyed and replaced with a golf course. The narrator reveals the history of "the Bottom" forty years before it was destroyed, in chapters titled simply by the year of focus, beginning with 1919 and ending with 1965.
The community gained its name from a joke played on a slave by a white farmer. After promising his slave freedom and land upon the completion of some difficult chores, the farmer did not want to part with his choice land. So he told the slave that the hilly land—difficult to plant and plagued by high winds and sliding soil—was the bottom of heaven, the "best land there is." Consequently, the slave accepted the land, and "the Bottom" is where Sula Peace and Nel Wright are born.
Nel, her mother Helene, and her father live in a home Nel considers to be oppressively neat. Carefully groomed by her mother, who is admired in the community for her beauty and grace, Nel prefers the disorder that she finds in Sula's home, where "something was always cooking on the stove, . . . the mother, Hannah, never scolded or gave directions" and "all sorts of people dropped in." During her only trip outside Medallion, ten-year-old Nel meets Helene's estranged mother and sees her own mother's usual grace disturbed by...

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Medallion. Imaginary Ohio town in which the main action of the novel is set. Morrison grew up in the small town of Lorain, Ohio. Bordered by Kentucky to the south but a Northern state in the Civil War with important Underground Railroad sites, Ohio functions in many of Morrison's novels as a place of alternating prejudice and freedom for the black characters.
The fictional Medallion's geography shows the distinctions between black and white characters: The white characters live in the fertile valley, protected from the harshest winds of winter, while the black characters inhabit the rocky, unproductive hillside where the poorly built houses cannot protect their residents from the elements. During a particularly difficult winter, when ice coats the ground and does not melt for days, the black residents lose their jobs in the valley because they cannot get down the steep hill in the ice.
By the end of the novel, the Bottom, the black neighborhood, is disappearing because the wealthy white people have decided the hillside on which it stands is desirable for a golf course and for luxury homes. The new development reflects the town's power structure as did the earlier layout.

Context (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
Morrison's exploration of friendship between African American women makes Sula a major link between Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) and Alice Walker's The Color Purple (1982). Furthermore, the friendship between Sula and Nel does not depend on or revolve around men. Morrison explores this friendship, its maturity and its eventual dissolution.
Nel and Sula's relationship blossoms out of mutual admiration, for Sula appreciates the quiet orderliness of Nel's home. In stark contrast, and in addition to Hannah's sexual liaisons, the Peace home is characterized by Eva's unpredictability. Sula's grandmother has one leg, and the town rumor is that she either placed the other on a railroad track or sold it to a hospital. In either case, Eva provides food and shelter for her family. Yet Eva is not simply a provider; she is also a sacrificer. When her son, Plum, returns from the war in a questionable mental and physical condition, she burns him to death as he sleeps in his room.
Helene, Nel, Sula, Eva, and Hannah continually challenge stereotypes as the narrator reveals these women's thoughts, fears, and concerns. Morrison's depictions stress the fact that women cannot be limited to select roles; they are too wonderfully diverse. Not unlike Hurston, Walker, and a host of other female writers, Morrison gives voices to the many women who remained silent when required to choose between...

Historical Context
The events in Sula span much of the twentieth century, during a time of great changes in civil rights for African Americans and other minority groups.
African Americans in World War I
When the events of the book open, in 1919, veterans like Shadrack and Plum are returning from service overseas. Like Shadrack and Plum, many of them were emotionally and physically scarred from the experience of war, but African-American veterans did not receive as much respect for their service as their white counterparts. In the book, Shadrack is discharged from the hospital because there's no more room, and when he hits the streets, whites assume he's drunk, and he's arrested and taken to jail. All he has to show for his service is "$217 in cash, a full suit of clothes and copies of very official-looking papers."
During the war, more than 350,000 African-American soldiers served in segregated units. When they returned, many began working for civil rights, reasoning that if they were considered good enough to fight and risk their lives for their country, they should be given full participation in society. Both African Americans and whites joined the newly formed NAACP to fight discrimination and segregation, but it would be many years before segregation laws would be overturned.
African Americans had only recently been given the right to vote in the United States. Although they had supposedly held this right for much longer,...

Literary Style
Point of View
The novel is told from the point of view of a wise, omniscient narrator, who sees into all the characters' hearts and minds with tolerance and acceptance. The use of such a narrator is interesting; the characters are all given equal time, and no one, even Sula—for whom the book is named—is more major than anyone else. In addition, the use of varied points of view allows the reader to see all the sides of any event and understand the complexity of what really happened. In the book, horrendous events are depicted, but the narrator avoids making judgments about them; they are simply presented, and the reader sees various characters respond to them and is allowed to come to an independent determination of what these things mean and whether they are good or evil.
Realistic Dialogue
The author frequently uses dialect speech, bringing the characters to life and letting the reader hear them talk, in a very natural way. For example, in the following dialogue between Eva and Hannah, Hannah has just asked Eva if she loved her children and played with them when they were little, and Eva deflects the question by telling her about the hard times she went through:
"I'm talkin' 'bout 18 and 95 when I set in that house five days with you and Pearl and Plum and three beets, you snake-eyed ungrateful hussy. What would I look like leapin' 'round that little old room playin' with youngins with three...

Literary Techniques
Morrison's greatest talents lie in her descriptive abilities. Her prose is extremely poetic, full of lush, vivid descriptions of the setting and characters. Even the opening sentences blend mundane historical detail with careful description:
In that place, where they tore the nightshade and blackberry patches from their roots to make room for the Medallion City Golf Course, there was once a neighborhood. It stood in the hills above the valley town of Medallion and spread all the way to the river... . One road, shaded by beeches, oaks, maples and chestnuts, connected it to the valley.
The descriptions of the towns' foliage is more than an effort toward botanical accuracy. Morrison's use of words simultaneously invokes an imagined vision and a sense of sadness at the neighborhood's loss. Throughout Sula, Morrison adeptly gives her language this double meaning.
Morrison's characters are as vividly drawn as her descriptions of the natural environment. Eva, Sula and the rest of the Peace family are entirely believable characters, as are the rest of the Bottom's residents. One technique that makes Morrison's characters seem more real is their moral ambiguity. The actors who perform the drama laid out in Sula's pages cannot be conveniently categorized as good or bad. Each character, like people who populate the real world, demonstrate the capacity for both benevolence and spite. Eva, for...

Ideas for Group Discussions
Sula is a fascinating study of black life in rural America during some of the nation's most trying moments. While appealing as a document focused on a particular time and racial group, Morrison's novel also expounds on universal themes concerning familial ties, love, jealousy, and ambition. Its characters are complex individuals, each capable of committing acts of unmatched devotion and extreme cruelty. There is not a sense of absolute morality in Morrison's created world. Instead, characters have relative merits and faults understandable only in the context of their entire lives.
Operating behind the individual dramas Morrison crafts is a national movement toward greater acceptance of African-Americans. Sadly, however, this acceptance moves far too slowly and never raises itself beyond the level of tokenism. Sula's denouement demonstrates the extent of African-American frustration at the white community's failure to adequately address the calls for equality of opportunity emanating from the nation's black neighborhoods. Spanning years from the 1920s to the early days of the Civil Rights movement, Sula tracks profound changes which struck the United States during the middle years of the twentieth century. Unlike a conventional history, however, Morrison's novel is intensely personal, highly dramatic, and profoundly moving.

(The entire section is 436 words.)
Social Concerns
As a historical novel, Sula's social concerns are particularly focused on the time and place in which the novel's action occurs. Spanning the months following the conclusion of the World War I to the tumultuous days of the Civil Rights movement, Sula is concerned primarily with the struggles against poverty and racism faced by the African-American inhabitants of a small Ohio town. Relegated to the curiously named "Bottom" neighborhood (which actually consists of the homes on hills surrounding the white district) Medallion's black inhabitants are both figuratively and literally separated from the prosperity and security enjoyed by their white counterparts.
Throughout the novel, the African-American residents of Medallion wait patiently for the opportunity to work on the road and tunnel which runs out of town. Until the end, however, the work remains available only to white residents. At one point there are hopes that the work will become integrated, but these are quickly dismissed:
For three years there were rumors that blacks would work it, and hope was high in spite of the fact that the River Road leading to the tunnel had encouraged similar hopes in 1927 but had ended up being built entirely by white labor—hillbillies and immigrants taking even the lowest jobs.
The exclusion of even highly educated and skilled black men from the work of the road explodes the notion that American...

Compare and Contrast
1920s: More than 350,000 African-American soldiers, who serve in segregated units, return home from World War I.
Today: The United States armed forces include large numbers of African Americans, who serve in every capacity and are no longer segregated; some African Americans, such as General Colin Powell, U.S. Secretary of State during the administration of George W. Bush, achieve the highest rank.
1920s: Overall, the unemployment rate is about 5.2%, but this figure is much higher for African Americans because of prejudice against them.
Today: Unemployment ranges between 5 and 6 percent and African Americans are integrated into all sectors of society, though they still experience a higher level of unemployment than whites.
1920s: "Jim Crow" laws, which were implemented in the late nineteenth century, segregate the South, mandating separate spheres of existence for African Americans and whites. Restaurants, stores, buses, hotels, transportation, housing, and other areas of life are rigidly separated, and African Americans who cross the barriers can be arrested and imprisoned.
Today: The widespread and growing civil rights movement brings increasing attention to the problems caused by discrimination and segregation. Although old laws restricting African Americans from voting and full participation in society were finally overturned in the 1960s, racism, bigotry, and...

Topics for Further Study
Research the Jim Crow laws and describe how they affected every area of life for African Americans.
Find out about the Civil Rights movements of the 1960s and discuss their effectiveness. What issues do you think still need to be addressed to ensure equality among different groups of people?
Research the contributions of African-American soldiers in World War I or World War II. Choose a particular soldier and write about his life before, during, and after the war.
How do you feel racism affects you? Write an essay about your experiences.
In the book, relationships between mothers and daughters are difficult and painful. Do you think this is the case for most mothers and daughters? Why or why not?
Choose a character from the book and write a story about his or her experiences during a period that is not covered in the book. For example, write about Sula's life during her ten years away from Medallion, or Shadrack's life during the war.

Literary Precedents
Morrison's novel fits into a rather lengthy tradition of novels which simultaneously celebrate black identity and descry the inequities endured by men and women of African descent. As early as the Colonial Era, African-Americans were finding their voice. The most notable of these early authors was Phillis Wheatley. She published her collection, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral in 1773. These poems appear rather problematic to today's reader. In some poems, she celebrates her removal from her home continent, asserting that it was better to live as a Christian in slavery than as a free heathen. Obviously, such rhetoric only perpetuates the myth of cultural and moral superiority that legitimated the practice of slavery.
Roughly seventy-five years after the publication of Wheatley's works, America witnessed an explosion of writings by African-Americans. The slave narrative became a genre of literature unto itself even while it aided the cause of emancipation. Many of these narratives were told from a male perspective and therefore lack much of the thematic attention to familial bonds that makes up much of Sula. The most notable exception is Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861). Told in the first person and relating details of her bondage, escape, and life of freedom, this work parallels Sula in two ways. First, it dwells on the particular concerns of women under the oppressive systems of racism...

Though Morrison does not continue her examination of the lives of the Bottom's residents in subsequent volumes, she does present similar characters in other novels with similar thematic and social concerns. From her first novel, The Bluest Eye (1970) to Paradise (1998), Morrison has consistently focused on the lives of African-American women and their families.
The Bluest Eye, like Sula, takes place in Ohio. Morrison set her first novel in the middle of the twentieth century and placed at its center the eleven-year-old Pecola. This young girl struggles with her maturation, much like Sula and Nel. Furthermore, The Bluest Eye contains considerations of family conflict similar to those in Sula. Pecola's father, however, is not a benign, caring presence as Eva usually appears to be. Eventually, Pecola's father rapes her, demonstrating the upper limit of violence perpetrated against children by their overbearing parents.
This violence against children appears often in Morrison's fiction. In Beloved (1987), however, violence is not a sign of familial strife but of the potential for the maternal bond to assert itself in surprising ways. Set in the years which bookend the Civil War, the novel tells the story of a woman who escapes slavery but is tracked down by a band of slave hunters. When cornered by these men, she kills her baby and attempts to end her other children's lives. She commits the murder...

To find out what constitutes acceptable proof of change(s) and to obtain a Change of Name/Address Form, contact the Registrar's Office at 617-541-5320.
Changing Course Grades
Generally, once a student receives a letter grade as a final course grade, no grade changes are made. In the event that the instructor determines that a final course grade change is warranted, this must be done by the end of the ninth week of the following semester (excluding summer). The deadline for submitting a change of grade requested for a letter grade will be the same for changing an incomplete grade to a course grade. The Registrar's office will not accept any grade changes after this deadline. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the professor involved and the academic dean of the student's major.

Original Message
Then why does the illuminati tell us;
(KJV)Psalm 2:2-5
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord , and against his anointed, saying ,
[3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
[4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
[5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
So, here we have the Illuminati telling us that the "kings of the earth" are against an non-existent God and His anointed. Well, that's rather weird for them to do. The kings ARE the illuminati aren't they? Lets carry on.
(KJV)Deuteronomy 17:2-5
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
[3] And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
[4] And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it , and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
[5] Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
So, the illuminati tells us that worshipping the sun, moon or any other thing in sky is an abomination, but aren't Rome (rumoured to deal with the Bible) and Catholicism sun worshippers? What about the other religions that do worship the sky? Did Egypt not worship the sky as well? But we are supposed to believe that the Bible stemmed from some Egyptian beliefs. Why would the illuminati tell us to not do something that they themselves do and promote? More weirdness.
(KJV)Deuteronomy 4:15-18
Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
[16] Lest ye corrupt yourselves , and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
[17] The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
[18] The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
(KJV)Exodus 20:2-6
I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
[6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
(KJV)Deuteronomy 7:23-26
But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
[24] And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
[25] The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
[26] Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
Don't Hindus and satanists worship graven images? Don't most believers of Christ? "Jesus" (Cesare Borgia), The holy calf, Shiva the Destroyer, the baphomet, Molech (Bohemian Grove) and the like. So again, why would the Illuminati tells us that worshipping images are evil, when they do it themselves and encourage it?
(KJV)Luke 4:5-8
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
[6] And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
[7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
[8] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
(KJV)Mark 8:36-37
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
This is pretty straightforward. If you want to be famous, you have to sell your soul and worship Satan, but why would the Illuminati tell us this? What do they gain, by telling us to NOT be famous? Furthermore, why do the rich and famous have an uncanny knack for partaking in rituals and throwing up satanic hand gestures? Why do they all attack the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Man, these illuminati people are some crazy ones huh? Hypocrites.
(KJV)Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
(KJV)1 Timothy 6:9-11
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
[10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
[11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Now, why would the Illuminati tell us that we shouldn't seek material gain, when it's quite apparent, that they want us to seek after material wealth/gain? I mean, listen to today's music, all it is about is sex, money and drugs. Also, why would they tell us to flee these things and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness?
(KJV)Hebrews 13:4
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
(KJV)1 Corinthians 7:9
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Why would the Illuminati tell us to wait till marriage to have sex, but they are on the other hand, relentless with getting us to have premarital sex? Again, look at the music and tell-a-vision shows. Finding a virgin is practically unheard of, if you are over the age of 15. Now, that we have abortion, condoms and morning after pills, premarital sex is at an all time high. Who created these products? Freemasons, but Freemasons WANT us to be celibate?
(KJV)Ephesians 5:18
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
So, the Illuminati wants us to abstain from alcohol, but yet they make it so easy to obtain it? Why does society promote alcoholism?
(KJV)Jeremiah 10:2-5
Thus saith the Lord , Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
[3] For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
[4] They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
[5] They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
(KJV)Colossians 2:8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
(KJV)Colossians 2:20-22
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
[21] (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
[22] Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
(KJV)Matthew 15:8-9
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
[9] But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
So, in the Bible, the illuminati tells us to stay away from traditions of the heathen, but yet they spend millions every year on advertisement, movies, etc getting us to do them. Why?
(KJV)1 John 2:15-17
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
[16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
[17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(KJV)James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
What does the world promote? Everything mentioned above. Being caught up in the world, brings us into the matrix. There is no way of seeing the truth, because we are too caught up in what's going on in society (media included). So, why would the illuminati tells us to depart from the world/society, when things such as the media are their most reliable assets? Hint to those that know about FOX News.
Atheists!.....you have some explaining to do.
Glory be to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!!!

Emperor, Vader, Ki-adi Mundi, Red Leader, Yoda.
HMm, I'm trying to think of who else got a good deathe scene.
OH, Jabba. mm slave leia.
But yes, most everyone in the movies gets chumped when it comes time to die.
But Mr Lucas doesn't seem to have much.. go ..with his ideas ,and doesn't seem to want to know
of what could be done ,that Guy who wrote Buffy etc ,,is really onto plots,, and the way the Fans
took Boba Fett into their hearts,, so gave a rather Pitiful story concering Boba Fett,,and having that
Jango Fett ,,to be the main Man ..as I said, didn't want the fans ,more or less to want him to put more into

racist PLP govt version of 50's " No blacks allowed on this bus!
Justice Denied - Bermuda's Black Militants, the 'Third Man' and the assassination of a Police Chief and Governor.
BY MEL AYTON http://www.melayton.com/BERMUDASROYALGAZETTEARTICLEJUSTICEDENIEDMARCH122012.pdf
The controversy continues over the 'Bermudian only' meeting set by Colonel David Burch, with Bermuda Democratic Alliance Chairman and international business employee Michael Fahy voicing his objection, stating that Colonel Burch told him he could not attend.
Minister of Immigration Senator Lt. Col. David Burch sent out an email in mid March setting a meeting to discuss term limits for guest workers. Colonel Burch stated that only Bermudians who work in international business can attend, and ID must be shown to prove Bermudian status.
Mr Fahy works at a senior level in international business, employed by Marsh IAS, the largest captive management company in the world. Locally the company employs approximately 150 people, including Mr Fahy who is Vice President and General Counsel.
Mr Fahy told us he emailed the Colonel saying he would attend the meeting in his capacity as an international business employee, and he was subsequently dis-invited.
Bernews asked Colonel Burch about this situation, and the Colonel confirmed that he dis-invited Mr Fahy.
Below is the full email trail:
From: Fahy, Michael
Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 11:07 PM
To: Bermudians In International Business
Subject: Re: inviteI will be there on the 8th.
Michael M Fahy
From: Burch, David
Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 8:27 AM
To: Fahy, Michael
Subject: RE: inviteYou are not invited to this meeting.
From: Fahy, Michael
Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 10:37 AM
To: Burch, David; Bermudians In International Business
Subject: re: inviteDear Minister Burch
I would be grateful if you would explain why this open invitation is now being retracted.
For the avoidance of doubt I am in international business and unless there is a solid justification for the withdrawal of the invitation then I should be able to attend on the 8th in my capacity as General Counsel of IAS in Bermuda.
Michael M. Fahy
From: Burch, David
Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 6:49 AM
To: Fahy, Michael
Subject: RE: inviteMy meeting – I get to decide who attends.
From: Fahy, Michael
Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 5:03 PM
To: Bermudians In International Business; Burch, David
Subject: RE: inviteDear Minister Burch
With respect, your invitation was to Bermudians in international business and it did not say anything about any particular Bermudians in international business being excluded or that you were going to pick which Bermudians in international business could or could not attend the meeting. Thus I look forward to attending on 8th April 2010.
Michael M. Fahy
From: Burch, David
Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 5:13 PM
To: Fahy, Michael
Subject: RE: inviteI am not in the habit of justifying my actions to people like you – it is my meeting and I get to decide who is invited – you are not invited – end of story.
Mr Fahy told us that "Minister Burch's invitation retraction is inexcusable" and went on to explain that he can only assume the invitation is being retracted due to his beliefs and/or political opinions which he says seems to be a direct contravention of the Human Rights Act [HRA] of 1981.
Mr Fahy stressed that he is a legitimate member of the international business community, as Counsel and VP in a captive management company, and also mentioned that "the notice itself was likely a contravention of the HRA by discriminating against others based on national origin in excluding non-Bermudians."
Stressing the fact that he is not just being petty, Mr Fahy said it concerns him on a wider scale, saying "His behaviour is an affront to democracy and demonstrates the lengths that will be taken to quell dissention or those that question the Minister. The phrase "people like you" is terrible – it is not right and the Minister should apologise"
The meeting had already been a point of contention with a member of another political party, with UBP Senator Michael Dunkley requesting to attend, and being told by Senator Burch he cannot, as he does not work in international business.
Both Mr Fahy and Senator Dunkley have stated their intentions to attend the meeting this upcoming Thurs Apr 8 at the Berekely Institute despite being not invited, which should provide for an interesting exchange at the door.
This is why Bermuda is reeling from gang violence, gun shootings,drugs,Tourism collapse,unemployment,business closures, and international business is pulling out .
This from the sissy buffoon, "Handbag" burch, Ewart Brown's UNELECTED race pimp propagandist ,who was previously reported to the HRC,Human Rights Commission, for calling a black UBP politician caller to his Hott FM radio show, a "house nigger"
this is the racist PLP black version of 50's No blacks allowed.
On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks, age 42, refused to obey bus driver James Blake's order that she give up her seat to make room for a white passenger.

A man is under arrest on DWI charges for the fourth time in 10 years.
Warren County Sheriff's Deputies stopped 29-year-old Travis Queary of Lewis County on Route 9 Sunday night.
Police say Queary's blood alcohol level was more than two times the legal limit.
Since this is his fourth arrest, he now faces felony DWI charges, and the loss of his driver's license.

Midwife-author shares the importance of celebrating womanhood with this empowering reading companion
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The truth is not all women in today's society have the choice around childbirth. And now is the perfect time to change that. Women should not be made vulnerable to the system. And that's exactly what midwife-nurse Irene Chain-Kalinowski wants to achieve with the release of her book, My Body My Baby. This hopes to give childbirth back to women so they can make informed choices and celebrate them.
"You need to be well informed throughout your entire childbirth experience and only then can you make healthy choices," adds Chain-Kalinowski. "After all it is 'Your Body and Your Baby'." And this book does just that. It allows women to take charge of childbirth – and celebrate this experience.
Oftentimes, women are vulnerable and busy taking care of their baby after their birth that they do not have time to complain. But they do need to find time to do that. The media release needs to highlight that women deserve the right to free and informed choices. In this experiential, insightful and empowering read for expectant mothers, the author has indeed re-echoed the voices of countless women throughout history, calling for every woman to be able to choose where she births, to have control of her experience, and to be given choices.
This book is available online and can be purchased at www.bookwhirl.com, www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com.

She holds a Diploma in Homeopathy; where she studied with the Auckland College of Classical Homeopathy in 2001 and received a Postgraduate Certificate in Health Sciences (Health Professional Education) from AUT University Auckland in 2003.

The appointment was only 20 minutes long...but I am NOT complaining. This was a gynecologist in the practice who no longer does OB. I had not met him before...but I may go to him from now on. He didn't give me any "you're not 21" or "you're fat" or "you don't deserve to bear children you horrible mean woman." He was just nice and helpful, differently from my NP.
He began by asking why we were there, so I told him all the "we've been trying since last August and still haven't gotten pregnant...." Blah Blah Blah...you've heard it all before.
Guess what he said!? "So you've been trying for a good year"....(wow, his math is so much better than my NPs...he understood that from August to August = 12 months. He told me after one year I am considered to be infertile (I'm official now), and that I should have some basic tests started to understand the cause of the infertility. (aaaaaahhhhhh) <--angels voices
He spent the next 5 minutes explaining the process if IF testing, the common reasons for infertility, and all the other stuff I am proud to say I already knew...but I didn't cut him off or anything because he was so nice and because my husband needed to hear all that stuff from the doc (he never trusts me with medical advice for some reason).
He then asked about how often we were having sex, and I explained we tried for every other day during my 'fertile' time and otherwise probably once or twice a week (more like once 'cause the 'fertile' time wears us out...but whatever. He seemed puzzled..."What do you consider to be your fertile time?"
Heh Heh Heh. Well...let me show you doctor *whips out 6 months worth of printed FF charts complete with OPK tests, mucous charting, and perfect temperature shift data* Doctor=shocked. He apparently had never seen a computerized BBT chart before. "Wait, explain this to me, excellent data collection, excellent record-keeping". Heh. I know. I'm a professional.
"Well from looking at your awesome perfect obsessive-compulsive BBT charts" <---not exact words "the problem really does not seem to be with ovulation." Really? Do tell? (my charts are textbook by the way).
Let's start with some basic tests first. Here's your SA order + specimen cup. Here's your HSG order (call to schedule on CD 1 so it can be ordered right after your menstruation). Here's your US order (call us to schedule near next ovulation so we can check your follicles). Here's a huge gigantic monstrous bag of prenatal vitamins (thanks).
And then, doctor? Then?
"Then depending on what we find we'll move from there. There are a few things we can try in this office, such as clomid ovulation induction and IUI, and that may be something you can do down the road, but I'll be honest with you...if you were my wife I would want you to see an infertility specialist, and there are several REs in the area now, I would like to refer you to one of them after these initial tests." (so respect him for saying it)
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh<---angelic voices again.
"And always remember, 5-10% of couples who didn't conceive in the first year, still go on to conceive in the second year without any intervention. I tell you that not because I think you should wait for testing, because you are 31 and it's important not to waste any time in case there is a problem, but because sometimes couples can do everything perfect, and still not get pregnant."
"Remember that each cycle, even if you have perfect timing, perfect mucous, a perfect egg, you still only have a 20% chance of getting pregnant. It's kind of like dice. One person may roll a dice and get a 6 on the first try. The next person may roll the same dice 12 times and never get a 6. *begin elementary statistics lesson* (again, I didn't interrupt because he was really nice about it). Everything may turn out fine, and you've just been unlucky enough to never roll a six."
Leaving the office with my big bag of prenatals and my husband by my side, I saw other couples there and thought, "they are here for pregnancy visits, and they probably think we are too." But we weren't. We were there for an infertility consult. And we got everything we wanted.

By Brian Dukes Staff writer
Around this time of year, the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County fields plenty of phone calls leading up to the International Folk Festival, an annual affair that celebrates the area's melting pot of cultures.
This year, the phones have been ringing a lot more, thanks to the free Aaron Neville concert scheduled for this weekend's multiday festival.
"Toward the end of August, people start calling about the festival," said Deborah Mintz, executive director of the Arts Council. "But the phones have been going crazy a lot more than usual. We've received calls from all over the East Coast from people excited about seeing Aaron Neville."
The festival starts today and continues through Sunday in Festival Park and throughout downtown Fayetteville. It features the Parade of Nations, arts and crafts, family activities, music, dance, roving performers and a cornucopia of cuisine featured throughout the International Cafe.
"The festival is a celebration of all the people of our city and where we've come from," Mintz said. "It's a celebration of us."
Grammy Award-winning R&B star Aaron Neville will perform Saturday at 8 p.m. at Festival Park. The concert is a collaborative effort between the Arts Council and Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks & Recreation; it marks the first time a performer of Neville's level will take part in the festival. The concert is part of the city's 250th birthday celebration.
"He's such a big star and so many people have called us about coming to see him," Mintz said. "We're delighted about partnering with the city to bring Aaron Neville here. He'll add another great layer to the festival."
For Morris Cardenas, a local singer-songwriter and guitar player, Neville's concert comes as a surprise, especially since he will perform as an opening act.
"Aaron Neville is a legend - he's sang in the White House - and he's got a unique style of singing that no one has duplicated," Cardenas said. "To be able to perform on the same stage is a privilege I will cherish for many years."
Cardenas, who will perform Latin rock music with his Borderland Band, compared the opportunity to the time he opened for Bob Hope at a military base in Okinawa.
"That was ages ago," Cardenas said. "But I'm just as excited to play for Aaron. It's not every day you get this chance."
Cardenas, who will share opening-act duties with country-rock act Aaron Bradley, said he hopes festivalgoers show up early to see the pre-Neville entertainment and that they take advantage of the opportunity.
"We hope Fayetteville's as excited about Aaron Neville as we are," said Morris. "He's a legend, and he's coming here to do a free show."
In addition to adding a national act as entertainment, longtime festivalgoers may notice a few differences this year.
The Parade of Nations is returning to Saturdays. Last year, the parade, which features dozens of cultural groups, was moved to Friday night.
It was moved back to Saturday morning at 10:30a.m. to give the groups enough time to get into international regalia and line up.
The parade will follow the same route as last year by starting at the Market House and traveling down Hay Street to Ray Avenue. The parade lasts about 90minutes and will end at Festival Park.
The Native American Cultural Showcase has been moved into Festival Park, giving it a larger area to showcase regional acts.
The Small World Kids' Area, which was in Festival Park last year, will now be in Linear Park, behind the Headquarters Library on Maiden Lane.
What hasn't changed, however, is the sheer volume of opportunities to be entertained and educated, said Mary Kinney, marketing director for the Arts Council.
"We really want to stress this year that the festival is a lot of fun," she said. "But it also gives people a chance to learn so much about other cultures."
