Great News.My Man Raphael Saadiq Doing The Music For Our New Spike Lee Joint.Y'Know Saadiq Is Gonna Bring It.
— Spike Lee (@SpikeLee) July 27, 2013
Not his usual compadre Terence Blanchard (who scored many Spike Lee films) this time… but Raphael Saadiq, as the above tweet from Spike states.
Saadiq is also writing music for Fox Searchlight's Kasi Lemmons' musical Black Nativity, which is out this fall. Oddly enough, while Saadiq is writing music for that film, Blanchard is composing the score.
Still no word on what this new Spike Lee joint is about. Nothing. Nada. All we know is that there'll be lots of nudity and blood addiction. But it's not a vampire film, as he's emphasized.
As of the time of this post, he's raised just over $276,000 of his $1.25 million Kickstarter campaign goal, with 24 days left. Will he get there? Well, he's about $1 million away, with just over 3 weeks to go; meaning, he'd have to average roughly $334,000 raised each week, for the next 3 weeks. The upcoming middle 2 weeks tend to be the toughest (in a 4-week campaign like this), with the final week seen a last-minute surge in contributions to get many-a campaign over the proverbial hump.
Read our interview with Spike, in which he discusses the campaign and project, HERE, if you haven't.
And then check him out live, tonight, in a conversation with the Black&Sexy TV crew, via their YouTube channel HERE.

Hey Mrs Tape, your an experienced photgrapher, what do you think about this thing about Obama's Dad being Frank Marshall Davis?
To me the likeness is striking, there may be some interesting revelations ahead!
- 14.7.12
re: B.O.'s father, here's some comparitive pictures. Ignore the fact that its a raving right wing site - they all are, but look at the shapes in the faces.
The shape of Obama's lips especially are exactly like Davis's, the lines around the mouth the groove between mouth and nose, the shape of the eyes is very similar too.
Obama Senior has no little ridge on the front upper lip like Davis and Barak, but instead they are fuller, smoother and go inwards at the upper front. He also has a fuller, shorter face and high cheekbones.
- 14.7.12
Scratch all that, I'm a half cocked douche. Further in depth investigation shows Obama's mother had lips with a little point at the front like Obama's.
File under possible right wing nuttery.
Now I'm really confused :(
- 15.7.12
- girlontape said...
it's campaign time J... the only thing that matters is getting Obama elected
- 15.7.12
I suppose if you are of a bohemian mindset then you prefer politicians with less Old Testament and more jazz but the Empire rolls on regardless.
A politically active friend of mine cracked the beers open when Obama got in, but you should have seen his face when I asked if Obama would top Bush's kill count. He's got some way to go but if he gets in again and knocks over Syria and Iran, well, he could get an all time high score.
Some may see him as a mitigating force against the aggression of the US, but I'm not convinced about that.
But hey, don't we need all that oil, whomever sits on the Big Perch? What are we going to do without it?
When I'm not puzzling over Obama's true family I like a bit of Gore Vidal - he's very interesting on the Empire, and very funny.
- 15.7.12
- girlontape said...
hail the ole empire and yes, i feel much safer with obama in the white house than his bible-thumping drug addict fundamentalist predecessor...
- 17.7.12
But you're not safer, haven't civil liberties become even more under attack under Obama, don't the brewing wars bother you?
What do you think of the drone attack committee that Obama is part of in which he personally selects targets, including children?
What do you think of the powers he has used to kill American citizens without trial or due process?
Don't these strike you as bad things, not the marks of a moral hero?
- 17.7.12
So, you don't mind how out of control political and military power is, as long as you don't feel you are in it's crosshairs?
Are you sure this is not going to affect you?
- 17.7.12
- girlontape said...
I am so over that anti-American shite and so will you when you grow up J... honest
- 18.7.12
I was thinking the same about you...
So, what happens when your hated republicans get hold of the measures Obama has introduced?
- 18.7.12
But enough! I suppose someone's photography blog isn't the place for it.
- 19.7.12
- girlontape said...
I 2nd that motion J... more to the point: did you collect me?
- 20.7.12
Collect? Are they keeping you at the post office with my ebay stuff?
- 21.7.12
- girlontape said...
you were so busy ranting against imperialism you overlooked the point of this post... beauty will save the world -Solzhenitsyn
- 21.7.12
I did overlook the collect thing.
OK, I'm not entirely convinced of the thesis, though it is one I do think about often, but you're a sport and the photos are cool so I'll collect.
- 21.7.12
Exlains that blundering feeling I had.
- 21.7.12
- girlontape said...
You're so funny J.
The world is a terrifying place, in the hands of raving madmen and cold-blooded apparatchiks, some of us are lucky to live in relative safety while the vast majority are racked with war, famine, pestilence and devastation. I don't have any answers. Thanks for collecting me.
- 26.7.12
It's true, in many respects I am super lucky (with a bit of skill too). Thank you for reminding me.

The last day of summer hits Sept. 21.

For the box office, however, summer petered out weeks ago, coming to a dead stop the weekend after The Bourne Legacy got released and limping forward for another three weeks on cheap-ass horror movies (The Apparition, The Possession).

"The New Normal" on NBC
TV writer/producer/director Ryan Murphy has had a solid run of it. He went from "Popular" to "Nip/Tuck" to "Glee" to "American Horror Story." Now, he's trying his hand at sitcoms with "The New Normal." Murphy's never shied away from humor, but he's always had the hour-long format to play in. That's allowed him plenty of room in which to shoehorn his trademark social criticism. "Glee," for example, has about a 1:1 song-to-sanctimonious-speech ratio. Clocking in at a network-standard 22 minutes, "The New Normal" doesn't leave a ton of room for the funny. But Ryan's working on it.

The FBI has denied a claim by AntiSec that a list of Apple IOS UDIDs (unique device identifiers) the hacker group published came from one of its computers. The U.S.'s top law enforcement agency said there was no evidence indicating the FBI had either sought or obtained such information, let alone that one of its computers had been compromised.
Over the holiday weekend (in the U.S.), AntiSec published a list of more than one million UDIDs that it said came from, "a Dell Vostro notebook used by Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K. Stangl from FBI Regional Cyber Action Team and New York FBI Office Evidence Response Team."
The list contained, "Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc."
AntiSec said that it was publishing the data in part to raise awareness that the FBI was collecting the data in the first place, a practice that could well violate the Constitutional right to privacy in the U.S. if it was being done without due process.
Indeed, as part of the discussion about the situation, it had been suggested that the data was more likely to be from an app developer's database. The FBI erroneously seized an Instapaper server in 2011, for instance, and the data could have come from that event.
The FBI is denying the whole thing, however, and in a statement issued to AllThingsD, said:
The FBI is aware of published reports alleging that an FBI laptop was compromised and private data regarding Apple UDIDs was exposed. At this time there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data.
There is no doubt more to come on this subject.

Weekend Plans: From Dreams to Reality
We'll admit: Sometimes our culinary imagination can get away with us. We spend a sizable amount of time during the week daydreaming about the food adventures we'll have over the weekend. This week was a doozy …
Thoughts of a cheese sale, a garden picnic, a Pierogi Fest and a taste tripping party danced in our head throughout the workweek. We'd also find time to squeeze in a car trip, with appropriate snacks of course, in a newly acquired set of wheels. Berry picking, perhaps. And then we heard Alice Waters would be shopping at our very own farmer's market. Alice Waters! That was a must.
It all seems magically doable. That is, until Saturday morning inevitably rolls around, and we're faced with a big pile of reality.
That's right, laundry.
And not just laundry – although it's become our euphemism for all manner of dreaded household tasks. The apartment must be cleaned, errands must be run and any number of unexpected minor tasks must be attended to. Ultimately, we realize there's just not enough minutes in one short weekend for all of our culinary dreams to come true.
So we begin to prioritize. Alice Waters doesn't come to town every day, and neither do hundreds of artisinal cheeses at bargain basement prices. A taste tripping party with Miracle Fruit, too, is likely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The rest? Well, they'll just have to wait until the laundry is done.
What are your culinary priorities this weekend?
If you're in Chicago, Alice Waters will signing her latest book at the Green City Market from 9 to 11 a.m. today. In other words: Hurry!

Upcycling Art
Material : stainless cylinder
I made artwork using gas charger. The nitrogen gas charger which is needed in a whipping dispenser is dumped in many cafes and has a sleek color and shape. During the year, I have collected various gas cylinders from Starbucks and worked on different art works. I worked freely without being dictated by genre.
I sought to explore the hidden aesthetic of deserted objects by respecting the aperiodicity, the randomness and the ultimate feeling. The visitors had various imaginations such as forests, waves and stems. In addition, I wanted to symbolically capture the mitigation of pollutant emissions in the unpolluted atmosphere and hope that these people will feel a strong understanding by environmental protection through various forms, sizes and structures.

VERGENNES - Back in 1987, Win Grant saw the 1930s era Kennedy Brothers facility as an unique business opportunity. The giant, former woodware factory was an ideal locale to develop a crafts and antique center for local artisans and dealers.
"In 1987, we converted the factory into the current configuration to enable crafters and antique dealers to market their goods directly to the public," said Grant. "We have adjusted our product mix over the years to match the current market conditions. We still rent small to large craft booths to juried crafters and have a large antiques shop. The new configuration has opened opportunities for the other businesses to join us in our offerings."
Since the '80s, Kennedy Brothers Country Store and Gift Shop has grown as a destination-attraction for shoppers looking for Vermont food and craft products. Kennedy Brothers' fresh fudge is famous beyond Vermont along with fancy foods and the equally fine Kennedy Woodware. (The Scoop Shop and the deli are also favorites.)
But the onslaught of the 2009 recession has been merciless on many local businesses and Kennedy Brothers is no exception.
With several areas inside the giant facility vacated, owner Win Grant had to think creatively to revitalize his local enterprise venture. Enter Vermont Sun, a popular physical fitness establishment based on Exchange Street in Middlebury.
When Vermont Sun owner Steve Hare decided to close a fitness centers in Florida earlier this year, he faced liquidating or storing thousands of dollars worth of the latest high-tech exercise gear from treadmills to weight machines. Recognizing a Vermont business opportunity, and knowing that Kennedy Brothers was in search of new commercial tenants, Hare contacted Grant for a meeting. The result was a landlord-tenant arrangement made in heaven.
With Kennedy Brothers' vacant 3,000-square-foot upstairs area boasting copious amounts of natural lighting, high ceilings, reinforced concrete flooring, and classic brick work, Hare envisioned a Vergennes expansion of his Middlebury Vermont Sun operation.
Ironically, a Vergennes city committee-after surveying the community of its needs and wants-had just recommended that the Little City consider establishing a fitness center for local residents. As the old zen-master saying goes, when the student is ready a teacher appears, but in this case, when the community is ready to work out, a fitness center appears.
The installation of men's and women's showers, secure locker areas, UV suntanning booths, a conference room, giant television wallscreens, and other fitness center appointments are now underway at Vermont Sun-Vergennes-all in preparation for the facility's Jan. 9-10 grand opening and open house. The public is welcome to drop by at that time between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
"I am psyched about this," said Win Grant. "Steve Hare is helping us reinvent Kennedy Brothers while serving our great community by providing a comfortable, safe place for physical fitness that's vital to our health and well being."
Hare was equally reinvigorated while looking over his new Vergennes fitness domain.
"Our emphasis here, as it is in Middlebury, is on individuals and families. We provide memberships that include personal training for under $100," said Hare. "Ron Dedrick, our general manager here in Vergennes, will also be our personal trainer. Ron is happy to welcome anyone from age 12 to 100. And a Vermont Sun membership will be good at both Middlebury and Vergennes facilities."
According to Dedrick, the community is already chomping at the bit to learn more about Vermont Sun's benefits.
"Well, the buzz is very good," Dedrick said. "We're looking forward to our Jan. 9-10 open house event and meeting the public. I think they'll be very impressed with the facility and what we can offer them."

More child horrors
Well, I suppose burning the child to death in a microwave would qualify. Can you just imagine the ensuing furore had that happened?
But wait! It has!
Ms. China Arnold has recently been convicted of that very offense! Apparently she did it because she was annoyed at something her lover de jour had said or done. So why didn't it get blanket coverage like the Anthony case? Why was it largely hidden away in local outlets like the Dayton Daily News?
Well, as the man said, a picture tells a thousand words.
72 comments:
The casualness with which Erectus switches from merry banter to extreme acts of cruelty and then back to good-cheeredness strikes me as distinctly unhuman.
A bit like my pet terrier. Most of the time it is the sweetest thing in the world, craving love and attention more than anything else.
Then, I set it on a rabbit hole and if I let it, it burries its way down to where the young rabbits hide and it will kill them all without with relish.
That behavior on the part of my pet terrier can be perfectly well explained, since no political correct word-mincing is required: "It just follows its instincts and has no impulse control whatsoever."
Now, when it comes to Erectus, humanity is supposed to not notice the obvious. Instead pseudo-explanations like the education gap, poverty, slavery or low self esteem are concocted.
The good news is that people begin to notice and eeeever so slowly start to see the obvious.
I've had converstions with persons I'd previously pegged as rabid leftists who expressed horror at the notion of sending their brats to a kindergarten frequented by the dark races.
Can't fool all the people all the time, I suppose.
P.S. Some of you probably know the blog "Stuff black people don't like". Apparently its creator has had his idendity revealed and has been fired from his job. I can only repeat my suggestion to use anonimity software like "Tor". Especially if you happen to espouse the more militance/violence minded viewpoints.

I've seen that side of them in Latin America first and I'll never forget the sight. A black security guard at a shopping center behaved extremely well and deferential towards affluent patrons.
When a street person dared sit down on an empty parking space to take a rest, said security guard whipped out his nightstick, administered a savage beating, obviously enjoyed doing it and then went right back to sucking up to his betters. The whole deal lasted no longer than a minute.
It's a good thing that no large size micro wave oven was at hand or it would have been put to use instead of the nightstick.

Well you know that the MSM can't report what the negroid really does or people might start thinking there is a reason to stay away from them, and then not so many White people would be killed.

It would be interesting to see how much of this is inter-generational. Those who have low impulse control breed more often and less frequently than those who do have self-control. So the low self-control groups eventually outnumber (and outvote!) the high self-control groups. The result is an ongoing downward slide for civilization.
Think about it. Here we are two generations after the Civil Rights movement (in America) and the welfare state the Sexual Revolution and so forth. Liberalism has become the prevailing national ideology. Are we in the promised land?
We see civilizational disintegration everywhere:
* Inner cities which have become de facto third world slums.
* Criminal gangs and cartels becoming insurgent forces.
* Millions of third worlders pouring over the frontiers in one of the greatest mass migrations of history.
* Economic collapse.
* The abandonment of the American manned space program.
* The growing realization among Europeans that their governments have sold them out to the multicult.
There seems to be no more sense of the Future. The idea of progress seems to have been dropped in favor of treading water and hoping to keep things stable long enough to collect one's retirement. Even liberals have stopped talking about "ending poverty" in America; instead they cash in on jobs they can get administering welfare bureaucracies.
You'd think that pathologies such as the one described in this item would have long since been solved as the USA ends discrimination and piles on the welfare programs. Let's not forget this woman can take advantage of affirmative action. Instead, we are seeing just the opposite take place, skyrocketing out of wedlock birth rates with all that portends for quality of life. and let us not forget the well reported (in the blogopshere) rise of flash mob violence.

Self delusion guys. White people are not waking up. People grow up with a view and sadly they rarely change. The smarter among people reach a certain age and they can't stop themselves from finding out more about what's going on. Depending on their focus they will end up enraged at the unfairness of our societies for the minority or the unfairness for the white person. Neither person will change, imagine what it would take for you to change to being a Marxist. That's why the focus of our Joo occupied governments are on the minds of our kids. Catch em early and embed those leftist views.

A fun fact about black evolution (or rather devolution) is that they apparently develloped some resistance to bad parenting.
In this video you see a black mother throwing her ten month old baby on the pavement:
That throw would have cracked the skull of most white toddlers, but it seems as though the head is not a vital organ for black whelps.
This one has a crossbow bolt in his head but it doesn't seem to bother him very much:
Being hard to kill and engaging in blinding-speed-breeding appears to be a very succesful evolutionary strategy that outweighs even bad or non existant parenting.
Too bad they have not yet develloped a resistance to microwaves or else the tragedy in Ms China Arnolds household could have been averted.
- 6 July 2011 at 23:06
You're forgetting something Reg.
It's totally understandable, a habit of the last days of the assumption of white supremacy.

You're forgetting non-whites.
- 6 July 2011 at 23:12
Interesting point about black evolutionary strategy. It has been establsihed in sports such as soccer and rugby that blacks actually suffer far less head damage than whites. For example centre backs in soccer frequently suffer late-stage brain damage from so much heading of huge incoming balls. Blacks don't have the same injury rate. The reason, they're skulls are actually thicker! In every sense.

The uninformed, liberal media is long past farcical. It inflames dormant situations, with the perverse hope of creating news from their meddling.

I'd like to know what the journalistic morons' ultimate agenda is. The best I can come up with is: Eternal chaos in a "new" America run by second-raters. The current White House, which gets no media scrutiny, is all the evidence one needs of that goal. show more

- 7 July 2011 at 11:33
I think those of you that are against this verdict need to look at the case without the prejudice of the media. Remember under our laws Casey walked into that courtroom an innocent person.
The state had the burden to prove she was guilty of murder beyond a reasonable doubt. They, with the most experienced team of attorneys and unlimited resources did not do that. I for one am very happy that the state can't convict someone on theory and send them to death row. I am extremely saddened by that beautiful child's death, but there would be no justice for Caylee if Casey was wrongly convicted. Many times in the past the wrong decision was made and an innocent person went to prison and even death row. That is a greater tragedy than Casey going free. Caylee will get her justice when judgement day comes for the person(s) responsible for that precious child's death.

Proving what a great blessing it is to be free of white guilt.
Let me pose you a question.
You find yourself in a contentious situation with a black. Could be anything from caught stealing in your shop to trying to muh dik the children.
Option A) you interact with said beast in a calm, reasonable and polite manner informing it of your displeasure at its actions.
Option B) You beat its shit loose until its mates are astounded that the soles of its feet face upwards when it walks.
Which one of those options successfully projects your feelings in a manner it can grasp?
Here's a clue, there is a reason that they apparently are a bit shy about stealing from shops in LA that are owned by Koreans.
- 7 July 2011 at 15:59
The topic of child abuse is the ulcer that just keeps on oozing.
Listening to Ramzpaul's latest video, I became aware of a new law in California that mandates the teaching of "gay history" in the state's schools. In the finest newspeak diction it is called the "FAIR Education Act".
But this law presents teachers with a practical problem: Which historical figure was gay? After all, in centuries past most people preferred discretion with respect to their sexual identities.
I'll wager a set of chaps that the educators' answer to this conundrum will be to simply declare the gayness of all their favorite historical figures.
Dissent won't be allowed and doubters reminded that "the science is settled."
The narrative of the civil war will consequently be as such: "The evil homophobic slave holders in the south denied their racial and sexual minorities all forms of self actualization. Abe "long John" Lincoln had therefore no other choice than to arm the participants of New York's Christopher street day parade and march them toward Richmond."
Other famous gays: John F Kennedy, Mother Theresa, Mao, Sitting Bull, Ghandi and Winston Churchill.
I don't care a hoot about what consenting adults do in the privacy of their home, but that is where any form of deviance should begin and also end.
It has definitly no place in schools. I do not know if teaching "gay history" might contribute to actually making kids into sodomites. But why conduct such an experiment at all?
P.S.: In case any of you wondered what the American Continental Army was doing at Valley Forge... According to the "FAIR Education Act" it was something like this:

Hey Savant...I love this little tidbit from the news article...
'Crystal McGhee said she did not believe her niece could get a fair trial in Dayton because of the publicity.
"She was a good mother," McGhee said. "I watched her raise her children."
Bishop Richard Cox, president of the Dayton chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, attended the trial daily. "We still believe she is innocent," he said. "She needs to be set free."'
Its always some preacher from the "Southern Poverty,Negro, anti-violence Christian
Fellowship" or something isn't it?
I wonder if he would want her babysitting his own child? I didn't think so...the only reason he thinks she's not guilty is cuz she's black...is it any wonder that every black ruled town, city, state or country is a dysfunctional disaster? Not 1 success story...the odds are staggering.
- 7 July 2011 at 16:34

Like Jeremy, I too would like to know the extent to which the 'average American' is aware about what's going on.
Most Americans do not have a clue.
I've discussed some of these issues with your average person. They might agree with some points. But then they turn on their television and get the agitprop.
For example, I spent some time discussing some of the pros and cons of race realism with a friend over a period of evenings. This was a tangent to other political discussions we had had. Things proceeded nicely: I didn't argue; I listened to his views; he made some interesting comments. He seemed to be "getting" it.
A few days later I talked to him again and this is what he said: "I discussed this with [a friend of his] and this is 'racism.' I think we should just treat blacks fairly and they will be nice to us in return."
End of discussions.
The thing is, there is much peer pressure out there to conform to the liberal worldview. Communication theory tells us that people's opinions are shaped in large part by the need to fit in with their peers; people want to be with "ins" and not the "outs."
Where I have had success in discussing racial issues is with people who have a solid understanding of history and philosophy. People who read a lot on their own. People who are by nature individualistic and rebellious, and thus less concerned over what their peers have to say.
This suggests that race realists need to create communities where these issues can be discussed with a certain degree of mutual approval. The internet is fine for disseminating ideas and discussing tactics. But you have to get out there in the real world and see what works.
- 7 July 2011 at 18:37

Of course you neglect to mention that "being nice to blacks" by necessity requires the utmost cruelty to our own.
Open your eyes and look upon the facts that are literally beating you in the face.
"Being nice to blacks" has on a world wide scale required that,
We destroy the education of our children, dumbing them down to microbial levels so that the poor hard done by blacks are able to compete.
We destroy our ability to put food on the tables of our families by insisting that they get jobs regardless that they have no desire to work, thus bring our industries to their knees.
We destroy our peoples advancement so that they can out breed us and take over our lands like locusts. If we had used the money wisely that our people have spent on sustaining these vile creatures breeding habits around the world in the last fifty years we would currently be working on a colony on Mars by now.

Maybe I am drunk with optimism, but, for the first time in my life, I see signs that the pendulum is beginning to swing our way and gathering momentum.
Even if less people than we would like are outright race-conscious, the iron grip on opinion by the old MSM has loosened perceptably. Much of its activity has become a self-referential circle jerk.
That being said, most countries in the West are beginning to resemble pre-revolutionary France.
In one corner you have the chattering, monied and governing class.
In the other, you have the people. And thanks to the internet, the people now possess a bullhorn.
Both sides are contemplating each other with growing mutual dislike and distrust.
With the distance and estrangement between both camps growing day-by-day, it is only a matter of time until someone says someting stupid of the "Let them eat diversity"-category.
Does that sound far-fetched? Just compare Marie-Antoinette with Michelle Obama flying her family around the world with a fleet of 747s. Do you see a resemblance?
If current trends prevail, in the near future European and American commuters will have to use bicycles because they can't afford gas any more. How do you think "Michelle's flying circus" will be perceived then? And will she notice?
At some point, dislike will turn into outright hatred and finally "change you can believe in". We are not at that point, just yet. But the alignment of both camps is taking place and noticeably so.
I do hope that we all do our part of "spreading the word" in the camp of the people. It would be a shame if our historical moment came and we let some Neo-Marxists run away with it.

Dubious claims about Muslim men grooming white girls hide legitimate worries about a system that fails victims of abuse
What has not emerged is consistent evidence that Pakistani Muslim men are disproportionately involved in these crimes.
ra pc crap from the guardian
journalist. 46% of groomers are asian so she cleverly points out that there is not a disproportional number among a subset.
The first UK-wide study of street grooming of children has found more than 2,000 victims of systematic abuse.
The ethnicity of around half the offenders was not known but in the remainder a quarter of offenders were Asian and 38% were white.
32% where Unknown???????
Ceop said it had evidence of 230 gangs, mostly young men, who were identifying and grooming children for systematic sexual abuse. Some groups were large enough to be considered organised crime enterprises that were supplying victims to be raped by paying clients.
The report said that the majority of victims were white girls - although in a third of cases the ethnicity was not known.

Look at how alternative medias such as the Internet have been instrumental in the current upheavals in the Middle East. For that matter, anti-PC groups have been using the Internet to organize effectively in recent years: men's rights groups have gained some successes against radical feminism.
Try googling "cyberwar" and see how effective all this has become.
Or consider how the mainstream media is losing control, with (liberal) newspapers imploding. It's in large part because the Internet provides alternative means of communication.
The big thing is, how can anti-PC groups go to the next stage, of mobilizing a larger public base. You do not need the majority of people. You just need a cadre which has its act together, and maybe 5-10% of the population who want to get active--but active in an intelligent way.

It is not just the internet. At least here in Germany, the anger building against "them" is becoming palpable.
You know what the society for the German language has designated as the word of the year in 2010? "Wutbürger", which roughly translates to "Citizen Rage".
The beauty of it is that the concept of "diversity" and our current ruling class are joint at the hip. They have so pushed this abomination that all "respectable" parties have come to be identified with multiculturalism.
From this point on, race conscious people can work with the concept of "guilt by association". Something that our enemies have done to devastating effect in the past.
When I see what is happening at the ballot boxes in Austria, Switzerland and Finnland, I am very encouraged indeed. And when I contemplate what is happening in the streets of Athens, I am saddened that peaceful solutions have failed, but encouraged that the people are finally awake now.
P.S.: Something to chuckle at: Amren links to a Reuters report about some Ugandans who found a live bomb in the bush. They did the natural thing for their race: Hung it on a string, beat on it with stones and thus put it to use as a schoolbell. What could possibly go wrong?
While I am befuddled about the existence of schools in Uganda, the rest of the story makes perfect sense.

Dirty Filthy Texter
by Whaleoil on July 8, 2011 · 2 comments
Most brands, even political parties don't like to highlight detractors or bad customer experiences. That of course depends on where you are looking at it from. Austin's legendary Draft House theater has got over 2 million views of their video publishing the voicemail of a detractor.
We do not tolerate people that talk or text in the theater. In fact, before every film, we have several warnings on screen to prevent such happenings. Occasionally, someone doesn't follow the rules, and we do, in fact, kick their asses out of our theater. This video is an actual voicemail from a woman that was kicked out of one of our Austin theaters. Thanks, anonymous woman, for being awesome.
Please listen to the accent and tell me that this "woman's" name isn't of the Voneesha or Latrina variety.

Sadly, very true. best thing we could do for everyone concerned would be to ship every negroid and negroid mix back to Africa -- which part of Africa, does not matter ... it's all African in the end.
Seal them in for a hundred years -- no aid, no medicine, no food parcels -- then take a peek inside.
If there are more than ten adults standing, seal it up again and repeat until satisfactory.

I am merely repatriating money that is mine to begin with.
But thanks for all your kind thoughts ... :o)
And your advice.

The Casey Anthony verdict wasn't quite as bizarre as it seemed. Problem was, the bprosecutor charged her with murder 1, i.e. premeditated murder that potentially carried the death penalty. So they had to be convinced that she planned to kill her. Personally I think she did, but it's a bit tricky when someone's life is in yur hands.

Well, here's another horror for you.
The Swedes aren't dissolving their nation on schedule:
The Swedish government plans to boost sexual education in schools, announcing a 10 million kronor ($1.5 million) investment to expand the subject from biology classes into history, social studies and religion.
"It will give teachers the tools necessary to inspire to dialogue and reflection," minister for integration and equality, Nyamko Sabuni, wrote in an opinion article in daily Dagens Nyheter (DN) on Tuesday.
According to Sabuni sexual education is still controversial in Swedish schools.
When the national TV network Sveriges Television (SVT) together with sexual educators RFSU showed a film called "Sex on the map" (Sex på kartan) in Swedish schools it met with strong reactions as a dark skinned boy was shown having sex with a lighter skinned girl, and because the film featured homo-, bi-, transsexual and queer issues.
According to Sabuni there is a growing frustration with harassment and violence being swept under the carpet in Sweden.
"Sexual education in Swedish schools is important from an equality perspective and in order to combat sexual violence, sexual harassment and other violating behaviour," Sabuni wrote in DN.
Please go to the page where it will be revealed that minister for integration and equality, Nyamko Sabuni ain't exactly a native Swede. Native, definitely.
This along with the genderless kindergarten and the naked mole rat Barbera Lerner Specter, make me wonder if we should just write the Swedes off.
You know the feeling you get when whales decide to beach themselves?
The sympathy at some point or another turns to:- "Ah, fuck it. Your choice."

Bridgend teen left baby in unlocked house
One of the commentors pointed out that a woman who left her children alone for 20 minutes had them seized.
Once upon a time people did not feel sympathy for the likes of the derby mother who buggered off to Spain on holidays leaving her eldest daughter to look after the other. She would only have been 11 or so.

In other words, Mormon feminists are awfully quiet.
The Mormon Women's Forum, established in Salt Lake City in 1988, can scarcely draw a crowd to its annual fall conference. Exponent II, the Boston-based quarterly for Mormon women, which led its readers "gently, gently towards feminism," is still publishing nearly 30 years after it was launched. But it is more likely to take up issues of grief, aging and being single in a married church than the question of priesthood power.
These days, Mormons feminists are less likely to publicly cut their ties to the church than to quietly slip into inactivity or simply go underground, nursing their concerns in private.
Feminism as a movement within Mormonism "is dead or dying with our generation," says Claudia Bushman, an LDS historian who teaches at Columbia University. "Feminism is such a potent word, it's been expunged from our vocabulary."
But does that mean there are no independent, free-thinking women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Or that all women's issues have been resolved? Or that they no longer care about the questions that remain in a church which excludes women from its top offices?
The answer to all three is no, says Jill Derr, managing director of BYU's Smith Institute for Latter-day Saint History. Young Mormon women today "take equality between men and women on a personal and professional level as a given," she says. "It's not even a question."
Young scholars are more well-rounded, more disciplined and less scarred by the experience of overt discrimination, Derr says. They expect to balance family and career and presume the church's approval. "They did not live through the polarizing era that was such a marked part of our lives," she says. "They can look at our history through a more nuanced, complex lens."
It may be just the term "feminism" that makes people wince.
For some, it carries too many negative connotations derived from past battles and is synonymous with a confrontational style or hostility to motherhood. Or they feel it has been co-opted by those who define it solely in terms of reproductive rights or competition with men. One BYU professor says "feminism" has been dropped from women's studies discourse almost entirely, replaced by the more neutral term "gender."
Women can preach and pray over ward pulpits as often and as prominently as men. They sit on ward councils, serve as presidents of women's organizations. They officiate at some women-only temple ceremonies. More and more of them are serving full-time missions for the church, becoming just as well-versed in Mormon scriptures as their male counterparts.
On the home front, the church has stopped pushing big families and begun talking about birth control. Mormon leaders still see the nurturing of children as the most important thing a woman can do, but are more sensitive to the needs of working women. They encourage couples to make family decisions prayerfully, based on individual situations, not on a universal mandate.
Whenever Derr goes to academic conferences, she encounters people who say, "I know the history of Mormon women. They had a lot of power. Now they've lost it." That's not the way she sees it. But there's no question that the institutional roles of LDS women fluctuated throughout the faith's 163-year history.
In the 19th century, many Mormon women did feel a stronger sense of their partnership with the priesthood. They were outspoken leaders of female organizations. Ironically, polygamy and the church's outsider status in America gave Mormon women some freedom from the reigning Victorian ideals of domestic life. Leaders like Eliza Snow spoke openly of their spiritual powers and being the offspring of heavenly parents -- one of them God the Mother.
Mormon women were early suffragettes, forming alliances with national leaders such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who spoke in Utah. They were the first in the nation to vote and among the first to pursue professional careers in medicine, business and law. State Sen. Martha Hughes Cannon was the first U.S. woman to be elected to a legislature.
But when the church gave up polygamy in order to gain national acceptance, women struggled to maintain their independence. "The image of Mormon women as docile homemakers, a la June Cleaver serving Jell-O to a smiling family in a 1950s sitcom, is just one of the many things Mormonism adopted from conservative American culture," wrote Margaret Toscano, who was excommunicated on Nov. 20, 2000, for feminist heresies.

The past few days have been tough for me with the horrific shooting that took place in Newtown, CT. I will confess up front that I am "anti gun"! My belief is a gun has one purpose, to kill.
It would be nice to lay my head on the pillow at night and know that my two daughters, son-9n-laws, and the four little angels in my life can go to a mall, school, restaurant, movie theater, etc., without being fearful of someone carrying a concealed weapon and using it.
What has happened in Newtown IS too much for the heart to endure. My heart is breaking for all those directly and indirectly affected by this horrific crime.
On a happier note, my daughter had her Christmas Tea today. She LOVES having teas. She fell in love with teas after we lived in Europe and her best friend introduced her to them. This was a nice time for her and her friends to gather and talk about their fears for their children. Support is very important. It's always good when you can talk to others who have the same fears and concerns as a parent - it helps one to understand that they are not alone in their fears. And hopefully, it will ease some of the anxiety they are dealing with at the moment. She lives close to Aurora, CO, where the shooting took place not long ago. :(
Too much killing going on. It's time for it to stop!

SEASON ticket sales at last season's Super League Leaders' Shield winners Castleford Tigers are up 12 per cent compared to 12 months ago.
When the club's 'early bird' discount offer ended last month, 3,770 fans had bought a 2018 season ticket.
Tigers chief executive Steve Gill said: "We are delighted to confirm a 12 per cent rise in comparison to the same period last year. 2018 was a fantastic year for all involved at Castleford Tigers in what I believe to be a ground-breaking season for the club.
"We made many new friends and competed at the highest level of Super League and it is without doubt very rewarding to know that our club has continued to grow its fan base year on year. I would like to thank all our fans who have invested in the club early for the 2018 season.
"In fact, I'd like to thank all our fans who turn up every week to support our boys whether it be home or away. We're getting close to that time of year when we all start to think about the new season, and I do believe 2018 will be another special year for Castleford Tigers."
Collection dates for fans who bought season tickets before the 'early bird' deadline have been confirmed:
They are Tuesday, December 12 (10am to 4pm), Wednesday, December 13 (10am to 7pm), Thursday, December 14 (10am to 4pm) and Saturday, December 16 (10am to 2pm).
Tickets can be collected from the vice-presidents hospitality suite at the MAH Jungle.
Those who purchased a season ticket in store need to bring with them their A4 yellow receipt.
Fans who bought a season ticket via the club's online box office need to print out their receipt and take that along with them.

Hughes Lumber & Building Supply in Charleston, S.C., will start a liquidation sale this week, with plans to close Dec. 1. The family-owned business will be sold to make way for redevelopment plans, The Post and Courier reports.
Co-owner Edward Burn told the The Post and Courier that the store's employees will either be relocated to a Mount Pleasant location, or have found jobs elsewhere after the store closes. "I hate that we are leaving the great citizens of Charleston," Burn said. "Hopefully, at the end it will be a good thing for everybody."
Burn said that no decision has been made as to whether the company will rebuild elsewhere.
Plans for the site call for a block-long development of 33 apartments, ground-floor retail and a 590-space parking deck.
Hughes Lumber & Building Supply was founded in 1888, according to the company's website. The Burn family bought into the company in 1910. Edward and John Burn are the third generation owners of the business. The family also operates Hughes Equipment and Party Rental in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

In a world where it seems there is an eternal amount of beauty gadgets being invented every day it is hard to recognise which ones will actually work for you and improve your appearance. That sinking feeling when you realize the newest product you have bought isn't all it was cracked up to be doesn't have to happen IF you do your research and seek out the best reviewed and top selling gadgets. In this article I will be looking at a range of tested and recommended products that every woman should have on hand.
Hair Straighteners - Corioliss C2 Iron
Usually GHD would be the first port of call for top end and reliable hair straighteners. However, many women are now dropping the GHD's in favour of the newer Corioliss brand. In particular the C2 Iron is reported to be the new miracle of the straightening world. The C2 Iron provides the option of either straightening or curling hair and its plates are made from strong titanium which is gentler and beneficial on hair. At £130 the straighteners may leave you with a hole in your pocket but remember hair straighteners should at least last a couple of years!
£130 ($210)
Toothbrush - Philips Sonicare DiamondClean
One of the most advanced toothbrushes available to the public the Diamond Clean from Philips is a rechargeable toothbrush like no other. The key feature of the brush is the diamond shape bristles which are designed to make teeth whiter whilst giving a full clean. A point of contention here may be the price which is understandable but there are so few toothbrushes out there that make you feel like you've just come from the dental hygienists. Replaceable brush heads for the DiamondClean can be found for under £20.
£249.99 ($400)
Curling Tongs - Yogi Hair Wand
Curling tongs can often be a useless annoyance for women and a little bit fiddly to manage, until, that is, the emergence of the Yogi Hair Wand. The great thing about the Yogi is the ease in transition from smaller, tighter ringlets, to more flowing and less defined curls. Another plus from these curlers is the long lasting effect after each usage. Users reported that even after 2 or 3 washes of their hair, the curls still remained.
£50 ($80)
Rollers - Babyliss Thermo Ceramic Rollers
Heated rollers can appear to be tricky and to be left to the professionals but these easy to use thermo ceramic rollers are far from difficult to manage. Due to the high powered heating system within the rollers, hair will be curled within minutes and can last for days over several washes. This product shows that if there is any time for a surge in heated rollers sales, it's now.
£25 ($40)
Body Brush - Clarisonic Plus
A must have for anyone with problem skin and takes pride in maintaining the largest organ of the body. The Clarisonic Plus is a cleansing brush that improves skin tone and reduces pore size – a lot like exfoliating. The body brush has the added advantage of being both quicker and more effective than manual washing, just 60 seconds of using the brush up to twice a day will have skin looking and feeling smoother whilst removing any trapped oil or dirt.
£179 ($290)
Hairdryer - Parlux 3200 Compact Hair Dryer
A few makers of hairdryers may claim to make the best in the business but most hair and beauty experts will tell you that nobody comes near to Parlux. Parlux is used in most top class salons and have only been on offer to the public in the last few years. The power of this compact hair dryer will have your hair dryed in half the time whilst looking as if you just stepped out of the salon.
£55 ($90)

Holly is very interested in learning to sew. I am about to make a step with her later this Spring or early summer and let her on my machine... I think. But first I want her to build up some patience and do some hand work first.
I have not started her off with anything major, but something very child friendly for now. To learn the basic technique of a needle and thread before we really branch out to a real needle and thread... which will be coming very soon. After she finished this little project I am going to move her onto an embroidery hoop project. She is really enjoying it and it keeps her little fingers very busy - this is a GREAT fine motor skill and test of patience.

We've got a glowing reputation.
Blush + Blow London says
Jess has completely exceeded my expectations when it came to what I was hoping to achieve in the press. She has, and continues to, secure mentions and reviews in not only the biggest blogs but also the most incredible print. She has helped us to reach thousands of potential clients.
Our research has shown that 45% of our clients within the first three months found out about us through the coverage that Jess secured.
Not only that, but she has her finger on the pulse with our social media, attracting interaction and brand awareness with her effortless understanding of our brand. Thank you Jess, having you on board with Blush + Blow has been a massive game changer and a big reason we have been fortunate enough to have such success so quickly.
— Bridget-Claire O'Keeffe, Owner & Founder of Blush + Blow London
From Daniel Galvin salons
Jess has made a huge impact to the DG brand over the last three years. From taking ownership of our social media platforms and pushing it in exactly the right direction to suit our target audience, to securing countless mentions and coverage in key press including Vogue, Tatler and Harper's Bazaar. Jess also secured copious reviews with high profile bloggers for the launch of our new Selfridges hair salon, flagship salon and Kensington salons.
She always goes above and beyond our expectations and puts every effort into her work and all that she does for us.
Jess's hard work, coupled with her warm and dedicated nature, means she's an absolute pleasure to work with. She really takes the time to build relationships with all our staff at every level to better understand the business and deliver exactly what we need every time.
— Stephen Nurse, Operations Director at Daniel Galvin
Praise from County Wedding Magazine
I've worked with Jess for around two years now and continue to do so as I feel she's one of the best PR's around. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she always shows initiative, warmth and knowledge that can only come from an individual with a true passion for beauty and the editors she works with.—Ivana Sidey, Beauty Editor at County Wedding Magazine
The journalists all agree...
"Warm and engaging"
Jess is not only warm and engaging, but always incredibly professional. Her response time is unlike any other PR's I've ever worked with, which makes it so much easier for me to meet my deadlines: every story I've ever worked on with her has been completely stress-free and seamless. The trouble she goes to in meeting the needs of both clients and journalists is amazing- even more so because she makes it seem so effortless!
—Sarah Rodrigues, Freelance Journalist
"A delight to work with"
I have known Jess for three years and in that time she has been a delight to work with. Helpful, enthusiastic, capable, thorough and brimming with ideas! She takes her time to understand your needs and present well thought out and logical solutions. Her PR skills, knowledge and contacts are exceptional and I never fail to recommend her when I get the opportunity. Always a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with Jess well into the future.
—Dija Ayodele, Founder of 3107 Skincare & beauty journalist
We get high praise from Reed Hair Salon
So after nearly 10 years in business we decided to rebrand our company. Having never gone down the 'PR' route we decided it was time for some help! Jess came highly recommended and on meeting her, I instantly warmed to her. I was always frightened that by working with a PR they would take over and wouldn't quite understand our passion and vision…certainly not the case with Jess!
She came and spent time with us, worked along side us and pointed us in the right direction. Not only did Jess help us enormously with her wonderful copy writing skills for our website, she put her PR skills to the test by approaching magazines and inviting them into our salon...Our exposure went through the roof!!!
And that's not all…. Being a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to social media, Jess has taught me all the tricks in the trade with one of her one-to-one social media learning sessions!!!
—Vicki Meredith Owner and Founder of Reed Hair Salon

Bill would increase the maximum deductibility limit to 140%
The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) recently congratulated the House for introducing legislation that would increase the maximum deductibility limit to 140% of current liability. AGC CEO Stephen E. Sandherr said that the pension bill is especially beneficial to the construction industry because it's the number one user of multi-employer pension plans.
In 2001 and 2002, AGC found that multi-employer pension funds were facing funding deficiencies because the maximum deducibility limit was 100%, and that it was difficult to create sufficient savings plans in the event of a downturn in the market. According to the AGC, the House proposal would allow the plans to save more for future retirees and avoid funding shortfalls in the future.
AGC has been working with the Multi-Employer Plan Coalition, a group of employers, unions, and trustees on the Taft-Hartley plans, to address the needs of multi-employer plans for the construction industry and beyond. The Coalition created a legislative proposal, presented it to Congress, and worked to ensure that the majority of its recommendations were a part of the House bill.

Born in England in 1643, Isaac Newton grew up in the age when Renaissance thinkers were challenging accepted ideas throughout Europe. Fascinated by all earthly science, Newton developed laws of motion and universal gravitation which also furthered our understanding of the movement of celestial bodies. This vibrant biography profiles the famed physicist as an acclaimed mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, philosopher, and inventor as well.

Provision of storage facilities (Item 1ka): VAT liability of supplies of storage - new rules introduced
Before 1 October 2012, the provision of a clearly defined space used for storage of goods and which met the conditions of a licence to occupy land was exempt from VAT. But an owner of such a space could choose to 'opt to tax' their land, in which case the supply of a licence to occupy land became taxable at the standard rate of VAT. However, storage suppliers such as traditional removal companies who provide no discrete area and are at liberty to move goods around have always had to charge VAT on their supplies of storage.
It was clear that previous legislation had created an anomaly in the VAT treatment of storage between different storage providers. Therefore, the change introduced by the Finance Act 2012, required the standard rate of VAT to be applied to supplies of storage facilities with effect from 1 October 2012 and it is based on a more general use of the space for storage.
This is intended to create a level playing field by ensuring that the provision of facilities for the storage of goods is taxed consistently and to address avoidance within the storage sector.

Sac PD: Man Points Gun At Mom In Park With Kids
Woman's Purse Stolen
Sac PD: Man Points Gun At Mom In Park With Kids
Woman's Purse Stolen
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —
A woman at a park with her children had her purse stolen by at least one armed man, Sacramento police said Wednesday.
She set her purse on a bench and saw a man take it, the woman told police.
She stopped him as he tried to run away, but that's when a second man approached her with a gun, according to a news release.
He pointed the weapon at her and both men fled, police said.
Her wallet was inside, among other items.
Police are looking for two men in their late teens or early 20s. The park is located in the 7300 block of Durfee Way.
A witness followed the men for a short time, but lost them eventually and no further description was provided.

My little sister mistakingly gave me this jacket a few years back. Why? Not sure. Does it matter? No. As long as it's hanging with all the other goodies in my closet, I don't ask questions.
On a side note, thanks for listening to my bitterness lately. I'm not going to lie...I'll probably dish out a spoonful of bitterness here and there, but it will get better. I promise. Stick with me until then.

I read a lot of blogs and a common theme is Friday Favorites. I always love those posts – I inevitably find a piece of clothing I want, a book to read, etc. So here are my non-dog Friday Favorites.
- Goodreads – I joined less than a year ago and I already have 30+ books on my "want to read" list. The website allows me to track what I've read, review what I've read, add books to my wish list and receive updates from other friends who are members of Goodreads about what they've read and enjoyed (or not enjoyed). It's 10 times easier than carrying around a worn piece of paper with a list of to-read books.
- 48 Hours podcast. I finished season two of Serial. Meh. Good but not great. Did not hold my interest nearly as much as season one. Sword & Scale is great but new podcasts are only produced every two weeks; I walk twice a day and run 2-3 days a week so one episode every two weeks didn't cut it. Stuff You Missed in History Class kept me entertained for months but I've listened to the majority of the episodes that interest me. Then I stumbled upon 48 Hours in podcast format; all of their TV episodes are turned into podcasts so I have found my new podcast addiction.
- Lularoe leggings. I know, how trendy and unoriginal. But I love them! I'm not-so-secretly pissed the temperatures are insanely hot and I can't wear them. 😦
- This dress from White House Black Market, aka my favorite store ever. I don't have $150 lying around to spend on a dress but man, if I did, this dress would be mine.
- Ellen on youtube. Marty doesn't appreciate her humor but it's right up my alley. Fortunately for me, he's been traveling a ton for track meets so I get to indulge and binge on Ellen clips.
- Another sign of my true, inner dorkiness: I just bought this:
This was the first Broadway show I ever saw and it remains my favorite. I was watching one of my favorite songs on Youtube the other week and I just had to have this soundtrack – with the same cast of the show I saw. Best $18 nostalgic dollars ever spent.
- A long weekend. After today, my first, honest-to-goodness long weekend since probably the holidays. Track and field is still competing so I have work to do but I do not have to be in my office for three whole days. I've already stocked up on wine.
- Because of the aforementioned holiday weekend, Monday is the annual "Murph" workout at CrossFit boxes nation-wide, including mine.
The original workout in memory
of Navy Lieutenant Michael
Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y.,
who was killed in Afghanistan
June 28th, 2005.
- 1 mile Run
- 100 Pull-ups
- 200 Push-ups
- 300 Squats
- 1 mile Run
I fully expect to Rx it this year. My time will probably be slower than last year, but this time around I know I can Rx the pull-ups. In a sick way, I can't wait. I probably won't be able to walk for a few days and it's doubtful I'll have any skin left on my palms, but oh well!

The leaves are falling already,
Their colors never had the chance
To change.
Like loved ones taken
Too young.
Or the last bloom of summer.
Those who say they have
No regrets haven't lived, or are good liars.
Because no one ever got it right
Every time.
The shadows tell their story too,
Moving ever-so-slowly across the rock walls;
Cold, giant, and underwhelmingly welcoming.
They're sneaky – those shadows.
We want to climb & capture them,
But they are only ghosts.
And ghosts never change either.
Nor do they have regrets.
At the middle of life,
And I have my color,
And time –
For now.
