Durban is located on the east coast of South Africa in the province of KwaZulu-Natal and in the municipality of eThekwini. It is the third largest city in South Africa and the busiest port in Africa. Durban is the closest seaport to Johannesburg and with two yacht clubs and the Bartle Arts Trust incorporating local visual art and musical creativity, some good restaurants, coffee shops and pubs, it is a lively port.
Durban was originally called Port Natal, and was founded by British settlers. It is in the middle of a vast sugar-growing area that was originally worked by labourers from India, many of whom stayed, started businesses and built homes. Durban has the largest population of Indians outside of India and there is a vibrant Eastern feel to the city. You\'ll find dozens of good curry restaurants and you just have to try a bunny chow while you\'re there. It\'s a half or quarter loaf of bread hollowed out and filled with curry.
The beach is the main part of Durban, with the only surf museum in South Africa and it is one of the most surf-friendly cities in the world. There is great surfing in the city, as well as up and down the coast. There\'s some reasonable diving in Durban Bay but the South Coast has some truly world class spots.

Chali 2na - Lock Sh*t Down ft. Talib Kweli
Artist: Chali 2na
Featuring: Talib Kweli
Producer: Jake One
Album: Fish Outta Water
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 18 votes )
In the wake of acclaimed alt-hip-hop group Jurassic 5's '07 split, it's understandable that Chali 2na is feeling a bit like a Fish Outta Water. Nonetheless, it seems that the husky-voiced emcee's solo career is going swimmingly, and on the lead single off his forthcoming LP, he lets listeners everywhere know that he can still Lock Sh*t Down. 2na and guest artist Talib Kweli kick off the cut by requesting listeners, "sit back and just watch us bubble," and, true to form, both emcees "come with more heat than the sun do." Over Jake One's leisurely mix of staccato synths and swung percussion (accented by occasional power-drill sound effects), the twosome spit braggadocio-heavy verses brimming with polysyllabic rhymes, and the contrast between Chali's stentorian delivery and Talib's chilled-out but still aggressive flow is just the seasoning this record needs in order to hook listeners. A lead single that tastes good and has good taste, Lock Sh*t Down should convince many to take the dive and pick up a copy of Fish Outta Water when it drops on June 23rd.

|hmm.... I don't have any advice, but I started mine about a month ago, indoor by the windsill, without heating mat, and all seeds germinated in about 7 days!
They grow so fast so they became quite leggy. Since it is still early in the season, I am going to just start over directly outdoor.

Town Confirm Edwards Staying to 2014
Thursday, 31st Jan 2013 17:58
Town have confirmed that skipper Carlos Edwards has activated a clause in his contract entitling him to an extra year at Portman Road, as TWTD revealed on Sunday. The Trinidadian will now remain with the Blues until the summer of 2014.
By making his 30th start of the season at Bristol City on Saturday, Edwards triggered the option for a second year which was included in the contract he signed in April.
Meanwhile, Town have said striker Aaron Mclean will stay on loan at Portman Road for the remainder of the season as planned.
On Saturday, Hull City boss Steve Bruce said he was considering recalling the 29-year-old from his spell at Portman Road.
Elsewhere, Bury have signed right-back Carl Regan, suggesting they're unlikely to want Blues defender Jack Ainsley, who has been on trial with the Shakers.

Syrian Troops Launch New Attacks as Annan Heads to Damascus
Syrian troops have reportedly launched fresh assaults on rebels in Homs, Daraa and the suburbs of Damascus. There are also reports of a steep rise in refugees crossing into Turkey. This comes as U.N. envoy Kofi Annan travels to Damascus to discuss implementing a ceasefire plan that is supposed to be in place no later than April 12. According to Amnesty International, at least 232 Syrians have died since Syria accepted Annan's six-point peace plan last week.
Afghanistan: U.S. Soldiers, Afghan Police Killed in 2 Attacks as Senator Urges Exit
In news from Afghanistan, a suicide bomber killed at least 10 people Wednesday, including four U.S. soldiers who had strayed from their base to take photographs in a park despite warnings not to roam around the city. The killings occurred in Maymana, the capital of the relatively peaceful Faryab province. In western Afghanistan, Taliban gunmen have reportedly killed eight local Afghan police officers. Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia has sent a letter to President Obama urging him to accelerate withdrawal from Afghanistan, arguing that recent steps to pull troops back from combat in 2013 do not go far enough.
9/11 Suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to Face Guantánamo Tribunal
The Pentagon has ordered accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four suspected co-conspirators to stand trial before a Guantánamo war crimes tribunal. All five of the men were once held in secret CIA prisons before being sent to Guantánamo in 2006. The American Civil Liberties Union criticized the decision not to try the men in a civilian court. The ACLU's Anthony Romero said the tribunals violate due process by allowing the use of hearsay and coerced or secret evidence. On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked about the decision to proceed to trial.
Jay Carney: "Well, it has been more than 10 years since 9/11, first of all, and the President is committed to ensuring that those who are accused of perpetrating the 9/11 attacks against the United States be brought to justice. The President remains committed to shutting down Guantánamo Bay. In that commitment, he is of the same opinion as his predecessor, as his opponent in the 2008 presidential election, as the senior leadership of the United States military and many, many others, who believe that Gitmo ought to be closed."
Greece: Retiree's Suicide Sparks Protest over Economy
In Greece, a 77-year-old retired pharmacist shot and killed himself outside parliament in Athens on Wednesday. His suicide note reportedly said, "I have no other way to react apart from finding a dignified end before I start sifting through garbage for food." The suicide has prompted an outpouring of sympathy from Greek citizens, who held a protest march and set up an impromptu shrine with notes condemning the economic crisis. One note asked, "Who will be the next victim?"
WTO Rules Against U.S. Effort to Discourage Underage Smoking
Efforts by the United States to discourage children from smoking have resulted in a fight between the United States and the World Trade Organization. On Wednesday, the WTO said a U.S. law banning the production and sale of cigarettes with cloves violated global trade rules and was unfair to Indonesia, the world's leading producer of clove cigarettes. The watchdog group Public Citizen is urging the Obama administration to refuse to comply with the WTO ruling. Public Citizen's Lori Wallach said, "This case underscores why countries must insist that WTO rules be altered and that no new agreements use the same corporate backdoor deregulation model."
New Orleans Police Sentenced for Post-Katrina Shootings, Cover-Up
Four former New Orleans police officers convicted of shooting unarmed people following Hurricane Katrina were sentenced to prison on Wednesday in what the U.S. government described as the most important police misconduct case since the Rodney King beating nearly two decades ago. The officers — Kenneth Bowen, Robert Faulcon, Robert Gisevius and Anthony Villavaso — were sentenced by a federal judge to between 38 and 65 years in prison. A fifth former officer, Arthur Kaufman, was sentenced to six years. Kaufman did not participate in the killings but engineered a four-year cover-up of the crimes.
Clinton Warns Window for Iran Diplomacy Is "Not Infinite"
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Wednesday that the time to find a diplomatic resolution with Iran over its nuclear program is "not infinite." She said all options remain on the table.
Hillary Clinton: "We want to see a peaceful resolution of the international community's concerns, but the time for diplomacy is not infinite, and all options remain on the table to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and until Iran comes into compliance with its international obligations and demonstrates the peaceful intent of its nuclear program, they will continue to face strong pressure and isolation."
U.S. Drone Crashes in Seychelles
Reuters is reporting a U.S. drone crashed Wednesday at the main airport in Seychelles. The Indian Ocean archipelago is home to a secret U.S. drone base used for hunter-killer missions in Somalia and across the Horn of Africa.
U.S. Eases Burma Sanctions After Election
The United States has announced plans to ease some sanctions on Burma. The move comes just days after Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi won a bid for parliament after spending much of the past two decades under house arrest and in detention.
Chile Approves Plan for Hydroelectric Dams
Chile's Supreme Court has approved a plan to build five hydroelectric dams in Patagonia despite strong opposition from environmental groups. The project will involve flooding 15,000 acres of land, including large swathes of forest.
Obama Signs Ban on Insider Trading by Congress
President Obama has signed a new law aimed at curbing insider trading in Congress. The STOCK Act, or Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, prevents members of Congress from using confidential information to trade stocks and securities and requires lawmakers to publicly disclose stock and other trades within 45 days. The insider trading ban also extends to congressional staff and other government officials. Obama praised the new law.
President Obama: "The STOCK Act makes it clear that if members of Congress use nonpublic information to gain an unfair advantage in the market, then they are breaking the law. It creates new disclosure requirements and new measures of accountability and transparency for thousands of federal employees. That is a good and necessary thing. We were sent here to serve the American people and look out for their interests, not to look out for our own interests."
Obama to Sign Pro-Corporate JOBS Act
President Obama is expected to sign the so-called JOBS Act today in an effort to roll back major regulations for emerging businesses. The legislation has drawn widespread criticism for scaling back corporate checks and balances and posing a potential risk to investors. Former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer called the act "a bad sequel to a bad movie," saying, "It shouldn't be called the JOBS Act, it should be called the Bring Fraud Back to Wall Street Act."
Yahoo to Fire 2,000 Workers in Sixth Mass Layoff in 4 Years
In business news, the internet giant Yahoo has announced plans to cut 2,000 jobs in its sixth mass layoff in the past four years. The cuts represent the biggest layoff in the company's 17-year history and include at least 14 percent of Yahoo's workforce.
Board to Oversee Detroit's Finances Despite Union Complaints
Detroit's City Council has voted to give power to an oversight board that would review the city's finances and its attempts to force concessions from city workers unions. The decision came amid fears of a state-appointed emergency manager taking control of the city. Meanwhile, a federal judge has rejected an attempt by municipal unions to stop the new agreement.
Videos Show Blackwater Guards Running Down Woman in Iraq
Harper's Magazine has posted online a number of videos purportedly showing Blackwater guards in action in Iraq. One video dated April 1, 2006, shows an armored vehicle swerving to run over a woman in a black full-length burka as she attempted to cross the street. None of the vehicles in the armed convoy stopped after she was run over. Other videos show armed vehicles smashing into cars driven by Iraqi civilians in an order to move them out of the way. Harper's reports that the Blackwater tape ended with the inscription: "In support of security, peace, freedom and democracy everywhere."
11 Attorneys General Support Amendment to Overturn Citizens United
Eleven state attorneys general have issued a letter to Congress declaring their support for a Constitutional amendment that would overturn Citizens United, the controversial 2010 Supreme Court ruling that opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate spending on election campaigns. The advocacy group, Free Speech for People, hailed the move as a step toward reclaiming democracy.
OWS Charges Dropped Against NYC City Council Member Ydanis Rodríguez
The Manhattan District Attorney has dropped charges against New York City Council Member Ydanis Rodríguez, who was arrested when the police cleared the Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zuccotti Park last year. Rodríguez was initially charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration.

Hog futures fell from the highest since July on speculation that the outlook for cooler weather later this week in the U.S. Midwest will slow demand for pork. Cattle gained.
While temperatures across parts of the Corn Belt may be 6 to 12 degrees above normal for the next two days, the weather is projected to turn cooler than normal by mid-week, with areas in the western Midwest 15 to 20 degrees below normal by May 3, Joel Widenor, the vice president of agricultural services at Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland said in a telephone interview.
"We might have had a good grill last week, but I don't think it'll be very good this week," Mark Schultz, the chief analyst for Northstar Commodity Investment Co. in Minneapolis, said in a telephone interview. "It doesn't look very promising for grilling out, at least in the Midwest."
Hog futures for June settlement fell 0.4 percent to 92.125 cents a pound at 11:40 a.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, after touching 93.075 cents, the highest for a most-active contract since July 9.
Cattle futures for June delivery added 0.1 percent to $1.22775 a pound. Prices were down 1.4 percent this month through April 26, heading for the third straight decline.
Feeder-cattle futures for August settlement slipped 1 percent to $1.4965 a pound.

Triple Trend Medical Bracelets
- Product Review (submitted on October 3, 2012):
- I just got my new bracelet in the mail, which is odd because it seems that I just finished ordering it. It arrived lightening fast and it is beautiful--the picture shown doesn't do it justice. I have a large wrist and it fits perfectly. It's comfortable enough and pretty enough to wear everyday. It seems very sturdy and the engraving is just beautiful. I spent alot of time shopping for a medical id bracelet before deciding on this one and it was certainly an excellent choice. I am definitely bookmarking this site and will surely order from them again soon.

Stop Freaking Out About the Debt! 5 Reasons There Is No Debt Crisis
Continued from previous page
In fact, if that slowdown becomes the new norm, Medicare spending will stay essentially flat as a share of the economy from here on out. That doesn't show up in CBO's long-term projections because their methodology uses cost growth over the last two decades to predict future trends. ( See page 60.) It's literally within the realm of reasonable possibility that the long-term debt problem is already solved — all without lawmakers having to cut a dime.
5. We don't know how much debt actually causes crisis: Ryan and others often citea finding that economic growth slows as debt-to-GDP reaches 90 percent. But there's a big correlation-causation problem with this. Remember the denominator: slowing GDP, regardless of debt, could raise debt-to-GDP just as much as higher debt could. And the countries that fit with the 90 percent threshold prediction also present an apples-to-oranges problem when compared to America. Britain, Japan, and France — advanced democracies like ours, with their own currency — shouldered debt levels far in excess of 90 precent over extended periods of time in the past. No debt crisis arrived.
In conclusion: the "debt crisis" is a mere phantom — only one of many possible futures, and far from a certainty. The interest America is paying on its debt is currently lowerthan it was in the 1990s, despite a lower debt-to-GDP ratio then. When inflation is factored in, current real interest rates on our debt are negative. Financial markets are willing to pay us to borrow from them.
Meanwhile, every dollar we cut — nay, every dollar we fail to borrow — is a dollar that isn't going to shore up the safety net, to rebuild the country's infrastructure, or to support struggling Americans while their livelihoods remain on the line. That we're passing on this opportunity to repair our country, much less even considering the monstrosity that is the Ryan budget, really is absurd.

How does it make any sense at all to prosecute this elderly man for possessing a small amount of addictive, pleasure-inducing substances? What kind of country is this?

While generally for decriminalizing, and in some cases, legalizing, I gotta say:
Meth is some bad news. It ain't pot, nor booze. Very few, if any, can control it for long. And if you were acquainted with someone using, you'd know it.
Some bad $#+t.

Long Description
CANEY LAKES RECREATION AREA is a RV Park in or near the town of Minden. It is a almost small park with a claimed 48 spots to park your camper. This park must not have any pull thru sites that we are aware. Do not worry too much about the length of your very long RV rig since the sites are built for large RVs. Electric hookups are provided. Power is no problem – the park has 50 amp service. No need to fill the freshwater since there are water hookups. You will not be able to stay indefinitely as there are no sewer connections. Be prepared to actually put the computer down and enjoy your coffee as there is no 802.11 Wireless Internet. You had better hope you have satellite if you are a Couch Potato – no cable tv at this park. Animals are welcome here. Not sure this is a good thing for a high class RV experience, but tent camping is allowed. A neat thing about this park is that it does have some waterfront attached to it. Shade trees are at this RV park so you will be able to sip gin and tonics in style. Do not just drive by Minden – instead stop and rest at CANEY LAKES RECREATION AREA.

I was relieved to hear that they found the Chilean miners alive, and amazed that they will be trapped for four months until rescue. It also reminded me that I like reading books about people who are isolated somewhere for a long time. (I hope this doesn't sound morbid.)

How does social pressure affect sticktoitiveness?
I want to learn as much as possible about the psychology of purposely forming new habits (like exercising each day) or sticking to something which requires daily work (like learning a language). I am especially interested in the role that social pressure of peers can play in a person's success (Alcoholics Anonymous, study partners, even the recent findings that a person's weight is related to the weight of those close to them may be examples). Books, articles, jumping off points -- academic or otherwise -- would be very much appreciated!

Help I'm being attacked - except I'm not.
Whenever a situation gets slightly confrontational/argumentative/critical (not necessarily dangerous), I experience a flight or fight response: my hands and legs shake, my heart races and my thinking slows down (along with all the other classic fight or flight reactions). It doesn't feel like an appropriate reaction to what's actually happening (hey, someone was rude to me in a meeting. I should stop shaking). I'd like to calmly deal with these situations, and try to tell myself that the person isn't actually hurting me, but my physical reaction is so strong and immediate. Any suggestions on how to not activate this reaction or at least reduce it?

Falling in love (infatuation) with a dream person.
I've had the experience occasionally of having a dream about someone and then waking up feeling a very strong longing and attraction for them. It can be a person I've encountered casually in real life, or someone who I knew only from the dream. If it's a real person, I may not have been aware I had any such feelings for them. The feeling can last for a few hours or go on for some days. How common is this phenomenon? Have any of you had a similar experience? Is there a name for it? Has it been studied?

Thursday wasn't the best day to be out on the water, but firefighters have to be prepared for rescues in any kind of weather.
So 18 volunteers from Waterloo, Nebraska were learning how to operate the department's new airboat, a $120,000 rescue craft that had its maiden voyage on the Elkhorn River. That's where hundreds of recreational tubers will be floating this summer. There's also the potential for flood emergencies.
"Two years ago, the Elkhorn River flooded western Douglas County north and south of Waterloo," said Waterloo Fire Chief Travis Harlow. "In the King Lake area, we performed over 42 water rescues."
While the airboat will patrol the Elkhorn River during peak times for tubing and canoeing, it won't be used to bust drinkers. It's designed to hold five people for water rescues and has a top speed of about 50 mph.

Before anyone asks, Rape is wrong, and treating women as sexual objects is wrong. I am not herein suggesting any rape victim has deserved their rape. CNN Anchor Don Lemon told a woman who reported that Bill Cosby had sexually assaulted her that she could have perhaps prevented some of it by fighting back, specifically, biting the penis. The internet and social media are going wild with mockery of such a statement. This is perhaps less mockery but we are paying attention to the act of Don Lemon interviewing the accuser. If Lemon had let the accuser speak without being challenged, he'd have perhaps been accused of not doing his job. Although it seems to me, the bias is towards the accuser in such cases of public airings versus the courts, even if the defense attorneys and ultimate victory in courts are very much on the side of the wealthy and famous.
Don Lemon discredited his CNN Anchor chair by seeming to attack the accuser, and suggest something that seems perhaps to be a fantasy. If only the starving children in Africa would live near food, they wouldn't starve. If only the people of Buffalo NY would move they wouldn't get dumped with snow. If only... But this isn't altogether true. Whether men should rape is obviously known, they should not. But whether they do or not, is entirely different. Words are the weapon of the PC people. Don't do this does not equal people not doing this. Because a woman has a right to wear anything and not be called a slut, not be catcalled, not be insulted, or hit on, does not mean she won't be. She is likely to be all of those things. Men should not say or act upon those words, but they do.
So this isn't me, Alex Ness, saying Don Lemon is stupid. I haven't a clue if he is. This is me saying, you can say whatever you like, and it doesn't change reality. Men rape, men are assholes towards women. The issue at hand is about men's behavior and words, and Don Lemon said something that was fantasy, or words without a backing in reality. It to me reflects the ridiculous PC world of words over reality. The reality is, the woman in question was being attacked. Her first instinct was possibly how do I survive, not how do I hurt this fucker. People need to understand that what we need is a change of reality, not a change of words. Instead of telling people just fight back, long after the attack is done, ask perhaps what was going through her mind at the time. Get a sense of the victim's suffering. Don Lemon failed in that.
Rape is a volatile issue because at least in some cases it can be a POV issue of men/women. But there are ways to measure damage to a woman, through the rape kit, and if there are repeated victim stories that have a common accused there can be a narrative created, and more. I am not accusing Bill Cosby, but, Lemon's seeming defense of Cosby by seemingly asserting that if it were rape the victim could have stopped it by biting the penis, suggests a desire to soften the event, and make it questionable.
I suggest Lemon has made himself an ass by acting as he has, and has not helped clarify the issue. But I suggest, we need a different way of dealing with rape in America. We need to acknowledge that it happens, treat it as being something horrible, and not try to explain it away through the fantasy of words. Fantasy of words in the PC world go both ways, both to obscure, and to falsely enhance. I suggest we begin to say what things are, rather than say what they should be.
Whether or not Cosby's legacy is secure does not matter one bit. If he raped women, he should not be able to escape the punishment.

Robert Plant Doesn't Seem To Be A Money Grubbing Son of a Bitch
People will tell you that every decision in life comes down to money. But in the recent affairs of Robert Plant, former lead singer of Led Zeppelin, it simply isn't the case. I've tried to tell people this, and all too often I am called an idealist, or a reverse cynic, whatever the hell that is, or a wide variety of nasty names meant to suggest that I have no clue about how life works, because real people choose to take the money, over all other concerns every time.
I am not a fan of Led Zeppelin and I can honestly say, there was a time I was watching a Robert Plant video when I had the flu, and the video caused me to vomit. It wasn't his fault, but just for those who think I am worshiping him for his talent, or his choice, I am not. For one thing, I don't know his motivation for turning down 250 million dollars. Another thing is, maybe that amount of money just isn't enough to get back together with people he doesn't like. I don't know the answer.
What I do know, is, in this world people think he is fool. I've seen the comments about this on twitter and facebook, I've seen the news items popping up all over the net. Everyone makes their assumptions. He is by no means a hero for turning down money. He is not a hero for saying no to a reunion. But maybe we should applaud his ethics for being willing not to do something he didn't believe in, just because he was being paid insanely huge amounts of money. I've never made much money, so I can't speak for the choice he made, I'll never have that choice to make.

Not D&D, Still RPG
RPGs I LIKED:
Tunnels & Trolls
This game is the highest scoring for me of the non-AD&D games. The reason for it is, simplicity of learning the system, the fun of the general system, and, you can play it solitaire. Get snowed in a weekend or two in Fargo with your work done, no books to read and no one can visit, and you'll see the point.
Gamma World
Gamma World first edition was a bit silly, but, it was fun silly, and it worked in many ways. The various orders and fractures of society do make sense, for what the world is actually going through. I did not like some aspects of the game, and almost no one played the game and understood it in the same way as I did , but, I did enjoy it a lot.
Call of Cthulhu
This game did capture the flavor of the world of HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. I liked the game mechanics, and the flavor of how the game is structured. I ended up playing, however, with a load of stupid, or over confident jerks who thought guns and bombs would mean victory. My professor of arcane knowledge and his assistant, who was a master of kung fu and also a bright man, were skilled and never went mad, but they were always cursed with people who accompanied them who wanted to kill what could not be killed.
SOME RPG's I DID NOT LIKE:
I was always told, dude, you need to play Runequest, the combat is so much more realistic than D&D and it is more fun and the religious aspect is more real. Well, ummm, when I played it, it was silly, and stupid, and made less than any sort of sense. I am not suggesting Every round of every game of Runequest was like this, for every player, but my experience, (which this column of course reflects) was that RQ was truly a system that was ok, but in a setting that did not move me, with a world and monsters that I thought were boring and childish. Your mileage will vary. My mileage will obviously vary.
Warhammer Fantasy RPG
This was a huge disappointment for me. I love the culture of Warhammer, the monster names, the dark nasty beasts, the angry edgy warriors… but the game play was hard, didn't make a lot of sense. The players who played it were people who played the miniatures games, and didn't want to play role playing, so, everyone who was at the table came looking for something else, and got nothing out of the game. It was no fun. However, I did use the names of some of the beasts in my AD&D world, and I call Orcs: Orks, as it should be.
I bought this game for cheap one summer and brought it with me to college thinking my friends and I could play. But it had game mechanics that were not conducive to role playing, and ultimately, we couldn't see the point of it. Someone I knew ask for my opinion of the game, because they had bought it as well and I said, it is a nice looking game. And truly, that is about it. The pieces were nice, but, it had very little RPG potential.
Boot Hill
Cowboys, Native Americans, Outlaws, Sheriffs, Rustlers, all sorts of player potential comes to mind, but Boot Hill was dreadfully thin in the development of actual characters. You might have fun in a gun fight, or it might last one shot, but even then, the gun fights depicted weren't very realistic (My brother is an expert as is a friend from the military, and both could explain in great detail how it wasn't even close to real). All I wanted was a framework to hang my hat on and make use of for the setting, and to create my own system for shooting. But it was really bare bones.

Sports team names, racism and media perception.
I'm going to be blunt. Why are non-pejorative sports team nicknames based on Native American themes racist? Protest groups go beyond the pejorative names to say that names like Braves, Chiefs, Indians and Warriors are derogatory to Native American peoples. The claim is made that using these names in conjunction with smiling caricatures like the Cleveland Indians' Chief Wahoo is demeaning to these people.
So isn't it hypocritical that these groups are represented by smiling Native American spokespeople who stand in front of these "offensive smiling caricatures?"

Growing your Brain
I am not someone who believes that there needs to be an hierarchy of taste when it comes to enjoyment of what we read, watch, listen, and play. If you like midget wrestling, or reading westerns, or watching The McLaughlin Group, more power to you. I believe that the same reasoning goes for listening to Abba, watching Godzilla, playing Super Mario, or reading romance novels.
But, while I believe that you can like whatever you like, guilt free, short of snuff films, and evil behavior, I don't think that is necessarily as important as what you watch says about you. The average human spends more time changing channels on the television and considering the drive thru menu at Arby's than contemplating the meaning of life. That isn't a criticism. And of course, there is no way of measuring it that I can be certain, but, the truth is that most people prefer to avoid the deeper questions, and that is readily found in popular culture's media.
So when you enjoy reading a book, you are making a statement. If you read a romance novel, you are perhaps escaping. Maybe you are heartbroken and need a lift, or maybe you love the fantasy of it. Maybe you like reading science fiction or westerns. Or maybe, you like reading Franz Kafka because he challenges your mind. The same concept of escape, and genres extends to every other medium. We can choose to grow in any form.
So, then, what am I suggesting? I am not saying anything really big, except this… there have been studies that suggest anecdotally that learning new things, exposure to new ideas, new concepts keeps your brain active. People learning new things and new concepts were less likely to suffer Alzheimer's disease. Since my mother suffered and died from that horrible disease, I'd like to think I have some place in telling you, that is a worthy cause to take up.
If you have played video games for 30 years, and you don't want to play board games, fine. Try a new genre of video game. If you read only fiction, and only mysteries of the fiction sort, I suggest you either try a historical work solving a great mystery, or you try writing your own. Do things that use different mental muscles. I promise you that even if you decide that you don't like it, the things you do like will still be there when you come back.
Personally I am changing one thing for a brief time. I have been working or going through health treatments or being in hospital for the last two years. I haven't read for pleasure or watched movies in that time. So I plan to do some lovely reading.
