San Francisco Church to Hold "Beyoncé Mass"
Posted at 1:02 pm on April 19, 2018 by Kira Davis
Have you ever been sitting in some boring old church service on a Sunday morning and said to yourself, "You know, Jesus dying on the cross for my sins would be a lot sexier if they'd pump some hip-hop up in this joint!" ?
Well, your prayers have been answered!
A San Francisco church will holding a special "Beyoncé Mass" – a service set around the music of hip-hop legend and Queen of Booty-Shakin', Beyoncé.
What kind of church would make a secular pop artist the center of their (supposedly) Christian worship service? Many may not be surprised to learn it's an Episcopal church.
The San Francisco Gate reports that Grace Cathedral will hold it's mass on April 25th.
Hosted by the Vine, a weekly contemporary worship service espousing progressive theology set to a pop beat, the Beyoncé Mass will give parishioners a chance to sing along with their favorite songs and discover how the 36-year-old star's art "opens a window into the lives of the marginalized and forgotten — particularly black females."
One can only imagine what the difference between "progressive theology" and plain old theology might be, but apparently the key in differentiating the two lies with one of the best-selling female pop music artists of all time. Why let your worship be the same dry, dull songs of praise to the Lord Jesus Christ when you can sing along to Beyoncé as she tells the world to suck on her balls?
Last night I got to witness and be a part of Beyoncé's "SUCK ON MY BALLS" chant irl and nothing will ever top that
— Rebecca Black (@MsRebeccaBlack) April 15, 2018
"In this year where there's been so much conversation about the role of women and communities of color, we felt a need to lift up the voices that the church has traditionally suppressed," said [Rev.Jude Harmon].
The Beyoncé Mass is part of three-part series the Vine is hosting at the Nob Hill church that started with a program on Mary Magdalene called "The Original Nasty Woman."
"The beauty of Beyoncé's music is she explores those themes in an idiom that is accessible to everyone," Harmon said. "We can use it as a conversation starter. That's what it's designed to be."
There's no indication of what the actual conversation hoping to be started may be, but dollars to donuts it has very little to do with the message of the Gospel that tells us we are all sinners, have all fallen short of the Glory of God, and yet Christ came to us while we were still unworthy to take our sin upon his sinless self and spare us from our just rewards.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. –Romans 5:8
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.- 2 Corinthians 5:21
He popped all my buttons, and he ripped my blouse
He Monica Lewinsky-ed all on my gown. –Beyoncé, Partition
Surely the poor and marginalized will be so relieved to know there's a church out there brave enough to let one of the richest women in America speak for them.
I guess for the "progressive" set the whole "Jesus was a socialist who hated the rich" thing only applies to people who aren't Beyoncé.
But if you thought Jesus wasn't going to be in the mix at all in this service, you'd be wrong.
"I know there are people who will say using Beyoncé is just a cheap way of trying to get people in the church," Harmon said. "But Jesus used very provocative images in the stories he would tell to incite people to ask hard questions about their own religious assumptions. He regularly provoked. We're following in the way of Jesus."
I thought the "provocative images" Jesus used in scripture were things like challenging the assumptions of the rich and elite class and suggesting that the "unclean" poor and diseased were just as valued (if not more) in the kingdom of God as any privileged person. Perhaps my translation deleted the parts where he used crotch-thrusting to illustrate God's eternal love. I'll check into it.
The evening will feature music, readings from scripture by women of color and a sermon by Rev. Yolanda Norton, who serves as the assistant professor of the Old Testament at the San Francisco Theological Seminary, where she also teaches a course called "Beyoncé and the Bible."
If you're looking for a "church" that is more concerned with gender and race than eternal salvation, Grace Cathedral just may be your jam! Don't forget your booty shorts and your Bible – Beyoncé Edition™.
Look, I love Beyoncé as much as the next person. You may not care for her presentation, but she is an extremely talented artist and there's something to be said for the fact that most of her raunchiest performances are in celebration of her love for her husband. She's worked hard her entire life to be as successful as she is and that shouldn't be scoffed at.
But this isn't about Beyoncé, and that's the real problem here. The Episcopal Church in America has been drastically separating itself from the Christian gospel for decades, to the point where many don't even classify it as a "Christian" church any longer. Those Episcopalian churches who have remained faithful to scripture have increasingly found themselves in the position of either breaking completely with mainline Episcopal oversight or requesting to be reassigned to parochial leadership in more "traditional" regions like Africa or Latin America.
It may not be shocking that a "Christian" church in San Francisco is letting Beyoncé headline their message, but it should be of concern to every faithful Christian that those who avail themselves of the umbrella of "the Christian church" are so brazenly casting aside the very difficult but true message of the Cross…
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16

Balmoral Memories
Les 'Tummy' Kewin
The Esplanade, Esther Road
For my name and memory, I leave it to men's charitable speeches and to foreign nations, and the next ages. Frances Bacon 1561 – 1626.
My memories of Balmoral, Mosman
I was born in a little country town called Pericoe near the Victorian border. The Kewin Family moved to Balmoral in Mosman when I was six months of age in 1921 in the early Depression years, my memories from 4 years of age will never fade nor be forgotten. I was number three in a family of five brothers and sisters, Bertha, Gwen, Ken, myself Les (Tummy) and Jack. My father passed away when I was just 3 years old and only 6 weeks before my youngest brother Jack was born, so I grew up knowing the tough times as well as the good times during my early years at Balmoral Beach. With the most wonderful Mother and family I had bestowed upon me and with all my very good friends my very early years were truly spent in paradise.
Early recollections at the time were of Braemar House on the corner Lawry Parade (The Esplanade). Braemar House was a restaurant and dance hall. Next door was the amusement park with swings, slippery dip, hoop-la and many more show time games.
There was a merry-go-round, (with no engine in those days) it was pulled around by a little black horse that we kids and everybody loved. In later years the amusement park was made into tennis courts, a popular sport of the day, but now is developed into homes that exist along the Balmoral waterfront.
I clearly remember Dermot Graves riding to school just above the top of Esther Road. We used to swim the horses along past Joels Boatshed.
The 1920s and '30s of the Music Hall Charleston era, the Dance Halls along The Esplanade four in all were Braemar, The Astor, Lavos and Featherstone behind the fish and chip shop and also the butcher shop. As kids we would climb on the vacant block of land next door and watch the adults dancing and being entertained with music of the times.
During this period in time the Mini–Golf craze courses were the rage, actually there were four mini-golf courses at Balmoral at the time in the middle of the Great Depression. There were many empty houses and flats in the area at this particular time. I met my childhood sweetheart Joan during early boyhood days, we grew up together and have been married now for 67 years. We have four daughters, nine grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. We have lived in 15 different homes in this area but many do not exist to day.
There were quite a few quaint and different characters who lived at Balmoral then, one I remember clearly. He was "Dublin Tom", well known he was and is mentioned in Mosman Library photos. He lived in a cave just past where the Sea Scouts Building now stands.
Before the trams started to run to Balmoral, the area was served by white buses run by the White Transit Bus Company their depot was on the corner of Military and Cowles Road at Spit Junction. Many the times when there were too many passengers the men would have to get out and walk up Raglan Street to Military Road from Cullen's Corner. Ladies remained on board. As kids we would hang onto the spare wheel at the back of the bus and scale a ride up Raglan Street, on our way to school.
The were some friends my age during the 1920s and '30s. There were the Wylie boys Ronnie and Lennie plus Billy James all from Almora Sreet. We had common back fences and large backyards that went through to Esther Road. Our neighbours were the three Ford brothers, the Pethebridges, Frank and Ted (Bubba), plus my two brothers Ken and Jack and we all played together. There are not many of my old friends now left in Mosman.
As a young boy I had an 8 foot canvas canoe. I would paddle over to Grotto Point lighthouse wharf, dive from the wharf that existed. I would look back at the expanse of the whole escarpment "Balmoral Slopes," impressions never to be forgotten. We young fellows growing up in Mosman were surely rich with natural gems.
With my mates we would sneak around the rocks at the southern end to swim in Cavill's Baths, which were the old converted septic tanks. These came from the house up on the hill that had sewerage connected, where as we, living on the flat area at Balmoral we still had an out back dunny, removed once a week by the "Dunny-Man".
Mosman had a nine hole golf course at the time on Middle Head commandeered by the Navy during WW2 and it still exists, it is HMAS Penguin. The old clubhouse still remains. With my friends we would wait in the bush and fox for golf balls rolling off the fairways show the golfers where they were, even sell them ones we found, this was one of the ways we could earn enough to go to the "Fliks on Saterdee Arvo." Money was scarce but we survived.
One particular time I remember the finding of an Aboriginal skeleton during the building of the promenade.
Shearers Baths at the ferry wharf and Joel's boatshed I remember well. Large notices were displayed at the time – Ladies and Gents Mixed bathing Prohibited before 12 o'clock, the order of the day. James's Dressing Sheds also existed at that end next to the Balmoral Beach Club.
Another of the buildings creating much interest at the time was the Amphitheatre built by the religious sect "Star of the East." It ended up in controversy, built with money contributed by selling seats to view the second coming of Christ through Sydney Heads and was also used for musical and vaudeville shows at weekends during depression years. Iit was demolished and a large block of flats erected at the far end of Edward's Beach.
Both my wife and I served in the Australian Army during the war years myself 4 years and Joan for three years.
I was a Butcher by trade having served my time at the well known shop of Pistola's situated Military Road at the junction of Middle Head, Bradley's Head and Prince Albert Streets towards the Beuna Vista Hotel and opposite Jewke's Chemist Shop. Joan and I have been married now for 67 years with the Kewin Clan spread around still holding the values born while growing up in Mosman during the Depression Years. Being Mosmanian and in conclusion…
'A Mother's Hope'
Youth fades; Love droops;
The leaves of friendship fall;
A mother's secret hope outlives them all.

Wonderful memories from a wonderful man & an even better Dad.

Hi, My parent managed Joels Boatshed around 1942-1946. He looked after the boats and mum operated the kiosk at the entrance. I used to play or have lunch with anybody that turned up on the beach. A wonderful place, and sorry to see the boatshed gone. I remember I was not allowed to go up to the top workshop overlooking the baths at certain times as I believe a little nude bathing used to go on. Many fond memories of Balmoral and Raglan Street Mosman.

Billy James was or is my uncle. My mom was Betty. Other siblings were Foncie, Josie, Jack, Molly and Peggy. From what I recall no one used their real names. I know Billy was "Reg". Betty was "Claire". You might be able to help with the others.
— Peter O'Donnell · 23 April 2009, 17:25 · #
Les thank you for your wonderful memories of Balmoral. Mine were of a later date mainly the late 50s. My sister and I almost lived at the beach in Summer. Getting up early and running down the hill past Queenwood Girls school, thongs slapping the pavement, hair blowing in the breeze with the lure of the Summer King tide spurring us onward. We didn't stop 'till we dove into the crystal clear water. Mostly we had the whole beach to ourselves.
— Rhonda Blunt nee Higgerson · 5 September 2009, 05:14 · #
I also grew up at Balmoral Beach, Esther Road, in the 40s and 50s. Wonderful time of my life, attended Queenwood and left when I was 21 for overseas and never really came back. In the meantime our home on the corner of Esther Road has been demolished and replaced by Units. I'll never forget my time there and now I live in Germany for just on 50 years. I'm happy here but I still often think of my time at Balmoral.
— Barbara Baumgaertner nee Thompson · 5 April 2010, 16:10 · #
I too lived in Esther Rd, No. 15 at the corner that has been demolished and now 2 prestige units. Very sad the house has gone as it was a really interesting one. Loved growing up in the area around 1968. Spent so many hours on the beach and surrounding area.

To Caroline Morton: I was a great mate of Norman and Roy Joel in cubs and scouts, Balmoral 12 Foot sailing club and as apprentices in Cockatoo Dockyard. I have a photograph taken outside the boatshed and under the big Moreton Bay fig tree of the 1st Balmoral cubs and scouts in 1939. Norman and I were still cubs then. I also crewed with Norman in his 12 foot skiff "Balmoral" and later he also crewed with my brother and I in "Ronles". I can send you a copy of this photo if you contact me on imarewel@xtra.co.nz.

I believe my father – Hilton- was the older stepbrother of Les Kewin. If you have a brother or cousin named James son of Ken who lived in Mosman then it is probably so. I see in Les's article a statement about Braemar House being a dance hall. I have an newspaper article of 1927 which shows my dad (aged 20 )was arrested for riotous conduct at a house on the corner of Raglan St And Lawry Parade Balmoral which had been converted into a dance hall where alcohol was sold illegally.

To Jacqui Parsons and Karen McCann
I believe my father was the older stepbrother of Les Kewin.If you have a brother or cousin named Jimmy son of Ken then it is probably so. I note in Les's account that he mentions a 1930's Braemar House in Balmoral as a dance hall. I have a newspaper article from 1927 regarding my father,Hilton – 20 years old, being arrested and fined one pound for riotous conduct at premises of the same address on the corner of Raglan Street and Lawry Parade( The Esplanade) where cardboard had been placed over the windows and the rear room was used as a dance hall where alcohol was sold illegally.It was shown that 19 young local men had formed a club called The Query Club for the purpose. The principal was remanded on 100 pounds bail which seems like it was a serious matter at that time.

We used Joel's Boatshed for our trips out on Judith, the lovely Boat from The most kind gentle man, Tom Joel, barefooted on all surfaces, always ready with a smile, shy in a way, but lovely lovely man.

Oh, the flashes of memory your letters give.
When the navy had taken over the southern end, the wire mesh fence cut off the best flathead fishing spot ever.
Somehow :) a secret hole under the fence enabled access with cane rod and rudimentary tackle.
I still have a net repairing bobbin that I found in these years…… and now your notes bring back memories.
Yes, hard, sparse years, but full of adventures for a young bloke…… and great flatheads.

Many of Mozambique's parks and beaches are inhabited by few people and therefore they offer tourists the chance to relax in beautiful, untouched environments, and this is especially true of the Quirimbas Archipelago. This beautiful chain of islands is a exotic, remote with exclusive lodges on private islands. Hard to beat for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. This area is also popular for scuba diving, with its exceptional vertical drop-offs, and fishing due to the great size of reef fish, parrotfish, angelfish, cave bass, morays and many others.
Along with gorgeous beaches, Mozambique provides tourists with game-viewing opportunities. The Quirimbas Archipelago National Park consists of the 11 southernmost islands which present a vast expanse of mainland forest. The park is one of the most important and bio diverse marine regions in the world and combines landscapes of beaches and mountains.


Construction of the UK Royal Navy's second new Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) started today, marked by a ceremony led by Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, at BAE Systems in Glasgow.
The Secretary of State formally started construction of HMS MEDWAY, the second of three River Class Batch 2 vessels, by operating the plasma steel-cutting machine at an event attended by representatives from the Royal Navy, the local community and BAE Systems employees.
Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, said: "These new ships are an important part of the £160 billion we are investing over the next decade in the equipment our armed forces need.
"The contract will benefit the dedicated workers of the Clyde, their families and the local economy in Glasgow. And the investment will ensure these shipyards continue to develop into world class engineering facilities at the heart of a thriving British naval shipbuilding capability."
Mick Ord, Managing Director at BAE Systems Naval Ships, said: "This is a proud day for everyone working on this important programme to deliver three new ships to the Royal Navy. The pace of progress on the River Class vessels reinforces the naval design, engineering and manufacturing skills we have in the UK.
Construction of the first of class vessel HMS FORTH is now well underway with its first unit transferred into the Ship Build Outfit Hall in Glasgow last week. The vessel is now being assembled alongside the final sections of the second Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier, which will be delivered to Rosyth during the course of this year.
The 90 metre OPV is based on a proven BAE Systems design, which is already in service with the Brazilian Navy and Royal Thai Navy. Engineers at BAE Systems have modified the design to meet the requirements of the Royal Navy in support of UK interests both at home and abroad. The OPVs will be globally deployable and capable of ocean patrol with a range of in excess of 5,000 nautical miles and a maximum speed of 24 knots.
The vessels will include a modified flight deck capable of operating the latest Merlin helicopters, larger stores and more accommodation for embarked troops. They will also be the first ships to be built with a BAE Systems designed operating system called Shared Infrastructure, which will be rolled out across the Royal Navy's surface fleet over the next 10 years. Shared Infrastructure is a state-of-the-art system that will revolutionise the way ships operate by using virtual technologies to host and integrate the sensors, weapons and management systems that complex warships require. Replacing multiple large consoles dedicated to specific tasks with a single hardware solution, reduces the amount of spares required to be carried onboard and will significantly decrease through-life costs.
The manufacturing contract for the three ships was announced in August 2014 and construction of first of class HMS FORTH began in October 2014. The production of HMS TRENT, the third River Class ship, is expected to begin by the end of this year. The first ship is due to be delivered to the Royal Navy in 2017.

B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon.
B.C. ended the fiscal year with a smaller-than-forecast deficit of $1.84 billion, according to the provincial government.
The deficit would have been $241 million had it not been for the one province's one-time repayment of $1.6 billion in HST transition funding to Ottawa.
Finance Minister Kevin Falcon predicted the province is on track to return to a balanced budget in 2013-14.
But he cautioned while the 2011-12 results are better than expected, B.C. still faces great economic uncertainty from fluctuating commodity prices and potential economic impacts from the European debt crisis.
But B.C. Auditor General John Doyle pegged the deficit at $2.36 billion, finding the province understated it by $530 million due to its continued practice of deviating from accepted accounting methods.
Because the government posted a deficit, cabinet ministers lose 10 per cent of their salary. They're all receiving the other 10 per cent of the legislated 20 per cent pay holdback because their ministries met their targets.
A deficit of nearly $2.5 billion had been budgeted.
B.C.'s economy grew by 2.9 per cent in 2011, third among the provinces and better than the national average of 2.6 per cent.
Retail sales, an indicator of consumer confidence, increased by 3.1 per cent in 2011.
Excluding the one-time HST repayment, government spending was held to an increase of 2.6 per cent, down from the 4.3 per cent budgeted.
The provincial government spent $42.8 billion last year, with an additional $934 million going to health, $67 million to education and $51 million to social services. There were cuts in most other areas to offset the HST repayment.
Nearly $3.6 billion went to capital spending on schools, universities, hospitals, roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
B.C. took in an extra $1 billion in tax revenue last year, half of it from more personal income tax.
The provincial debt climbed $2.8 billion to $50.2 billion.
B.C.'s taxpayer-supported debt-to-GDP ratio – a measure of ability to pay – fell to 16.4 per cent, one of the lowest ratios in North America.

Curtis Lamont Conway (born January 13, 1971) is a former American football wide receiver in the National Football League. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 1993 NFL Draft out of the University of Southern California (USC). Conway also played for the San Diego Chargers, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers.
Conway attended Hawthorne High School in Hawthorne, California and was a football and a track star. He won All-America honors as a senior quarterback. His high school quarterback coach was Dave Keller. Even though he was an All-American QB, he was more known for his exploits on the track. During that era, Hawthorne was a regular contender at the CIF California State Meet. In 1987 as a sophomore he was the anchor of the California State Record 4X100m relay team (40.24) set in the preliminaries, Hawthorne High School was DQ'd at the finals after initially finishing second. In 1988 as a junior he placed second in the 100m (10.85) and placed third 3rd in the 200m (21.30). In 1989 as a senior he won the 100m state title with the time of 10.32 and placed 2nd in the 200m (20.89).
Prior to USC, Conway attended El Camino Junior College in Torrance, California, but did not play. He came to USC as a QB but converted to WR in 1991.
1990: 26 kick returns for 555 yards. 12 punt returns for 161 yards and 1 TD.
1991: 21 catches for 240 yards and 1 TD. 18 carries for 29 yards and 1 TD. 20 kick returns for 493 yards. 24 punt returns for 172 yards.
1992: 49 catches for 764 yards and 5 TD. 6 carries for 37 yards and 1 TD. 27 kick returns for 675 yards and 1 TD. 31 punt returns for 346 yards and 1 TD.
He had over 1,000 yards three times in his twelve-year NFL career, in which he played for the Chicago Bears, the San Diego Chargers, the New York Jets and the San Francisco 49ers.
During his twelve years in the NFL, Conway threw for two touchdown passes, a rarity for the wide receiver position. The most notable of the two came during a game against the Miami Dolphins on November 13, 1994. Conway lined up split off of and parallel to the holder, on a bizarre field goal formation. Rather than the snap being taken by Eric Kramer, Conway received it, and threw a pass which was tipped up into the air by a Dolphins' defender and caught by fellow Bears' teammate and tight end, Keith Jennings and run into the endzone for a touchdown. His 329 catches during his tenure with the Bears (1993-1999) place him 3rd in franchise history on their all-time receptions list, and his 4,498 receiving yards rank 5th on the Bears' all-time yardage list. He also was the 1st Chicago Bears receiver to record back to back 1000 yard seasons.
Beginning in 2009, Conway began working as a color analyst on national NFL radio broadcasts by Compass Media Networks. He teamed with Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton and Gregg "Free Beer" Daniels on play-by-play. He is currently a studio analyst for the Pac-12 Network and a cohost of Total Access on the NFL Network. He joined the San Diego Chargers network for the 2015 season as a studio analyst.
On July 23, 2007, Conway married female boxing champ Laila Ali, the daughter of Muhammad Ali. He has three children from a previous marriage. Cameron and Kelton Conway (b. 1995), and Leilani Conway (b. 1999). Conway and Ali welcomed their first child, Curtis Muhammad Conway, Jr. on August 26, 2008. On April 4, 2011, they welcomed their second child, a daughter, Sydney Jurldine Conway, who was born at 3:00am.

Ask PM Erdogan why he did this to the relations between the two countries? Why is he serving US interests in the region and ignoring Turkish people interests? Who benefited from destroying 8 years of building good relations with Syria in 8 months?! The Ottoman Empire is gone, so get over it.. All previous empires have gone.
Ask him why did he get involved & get his country involved in Syria's internal matters from hosting the Syrian proved terrorist opposition while Syria doesn't host PKK fighters, imposing sanctions on Syria that is harming the people in both Syria & in Turkey, asking Syrian president Assad to form a government headed by a Muslim Brotherhood member and half of the ministers from the same terrorist group that is well known by Syrians for detonating car bombs?!
Remove the Muslim Brotherhood govt from Turkey, hold them accountable to the chaos, deaths in Syria as well as destroying the relations with the country that opened its doors wide open for Turkish people and opened the entire Arab gate for you.. Let's open a new page of cooperation and mutual benefits and leave USA, you don't need to be a slave for the country who is leaving the region after their crimes in Iraq and later their withdrawal after a humiliating defeat in Iraq.
Stop the war media propaganda against Syrian govt, you know it's all lies because you are the biggest contributer to the killings in Syria, if you don't, we Syrians will never forget and we will never forgive you.
Think about it: you belong to this region, not to Europe they refused you rudely, not to USA they use you and will throw you.. You don't have good relations with any of your neighbors now."


Spotted a vintage shirt on instagram with some familiar details.
Nice to see some "reissue" Lot 44s on CL's blog. Always my fave cut.
That's not true. Maybe they were not on Christophe's blog, but they definitely were on the MF website. I ordered mine (in the now sold out P30 brown denim) in Nov 2017.
That's not true. Maybe they were not on Christophe's blog, but they definitely were on the MF website. I ordered mine (in the know sold out P30 brown denim) in Nov 2017.
They might have been sold out according to the website when in fact they still had some stock. I have scored two shirts that were sold out on the website only to have them discover some stock buried somewhere and post about it on Instagram.


Heat radiates from my skin. The light reflects off my white shirt and is absorbed again by my black velvet vest. The sweet breath of a friend mingles with the air and I anticipate what will happen next. I fall into a trance as someone else takes over my body. He fills every space of me; he reaches into my fingertips, and puts his feet in my shoes. The voice I feel coming out of me is no longer my own, but the stranger's. His voice is a sweet buzz just behind my ear, creating a visceral feeling within. Like an infusion entering my bloodstream, his voice embodies my consciousness. The stranger drives me forward, and holds me up. He can't see the audience staring at him, but I can. He does not feel the fear from their gaze, but I do. A rush of fear, cold as steel, washes over me, but his voice puts me back at ease. This is why he is in control. I cannot do this. I cannot let people peer into my day, watch me in my nakedness. He doesn't even know he is being watched. All he sees is a wall. In his reality, all there is is a wall. For a brief period, he is one with me. I give him my body, and let him use it as a capsule for his own life. He wraps himself around my lungs. He inhales and exhales with me. Our blood rushes from vein to heart at the same rate. We have the same hair, and skin, and clothes. I can't help but confuse our emotions. When he cries, I cry. When he laughs, I laugh. I can feel him, using me like a living marionette doll. He pulls the strings just beneath my skin, and walks me around like a ventriloquist and his dummy. He controls me. He twists and pulls the cords attached to my eyes. He pulls at my lips, and my cheeks. He weaves his cognizance with my own. For two hours, we occupy the same home, a feeling, an instinctual state of mind consisting of pure ecstasy, amity, and pleasure. For two hours, if he is happy, I am happy, and if he is sad, I am sad. He feels the stale air that I feel as we breath together. He manipulates my tongue and produces a line. He throws it out to pierce the dust floating in the air around us. We engage in this complex dance for two hours. He leads, I follow, and at the end he is gone. As I take my bow, I look out at my spectators, the ones that watched my possessor. They saw only this stranger; they never got to meet him, but I did. I was he, and he was I. Briefly we were one, in body, mind, and spirit. But now the stage is empty, and only I remain.

Johnny DuPree (born November 18, 1953) is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party who served as the mayor of Hattiesburg, Mississippi from 2001 to 2017. He was the Democratic Party nominee for Governor of Mississippi in 2011, the first African-American major party nominee for Governor in Mississippi since the Reconstruction era.

DuPree won the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State of Mississippi in the August 2019 primary, but lost in the November 2019 general election.

DuPree was the Democrat candidate in Mississippi's 4th congressional district for the 2022 midterm elections.

Early life and education
Johnny DuPree was born in Fort Benning, Georgia. As a small boy, he moved to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with his mother, brother, and sister.

DuPree has bachelors and Master's degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi, and a PhD from Jackson State University. He is a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity.

Career
DuPree entered public service in 1987 when he was appointed to the Hattiesburg Public School Board. A year later, he and his wife established a small real estate business. In 1991, he was elected to the Forrest County Board of Supervisors, where he served for 10 years before running for mayor of Hattiesburg in 2001.

Mayor of Hattiesburg
In 2001, DuPree became the first African-American mayor of Hattiesburg, after winning 53% of the vote. He was re-elected in 2005 and 2009. During his first campaign for mayor, DuPree ran on a platform of shoring up education and protecting small business. At the time, Robert Ingram, the executive director of economic development at the University of Southern Mississippi, predicted that DuPree would support locally owned small business while also being active in industrial recruitment.

Despite damage to the city resulting from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and a global recession in 2008, the health of Hattiesburg's small businesses remained steady during DuPree's tenure as mayor. Ingram's predictions for Hattiesburg under the DuPree administration were largely accurate. In 2010, employment statistics showed Hattiesburg registering only 8.6 percent unemployment at a time when the rate in the state was 11.2 and the national rate was 11.1. Also during DuPree's tenure as mayor, annual crime statistics released by the Hattiesburg Police Department showed a 10 percent overall decrease in reported crime since 2008.

Response to Katrina
On the Sunday before Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, DuPree was invited to address the congregation of Mt Carmel Baptist Church, where he warned the congregation about the "devastation churning its way across the Gulf of Mexico." In the aftermath of the storm, the city lost power and water for several days. Due to the lack of a response from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the city under DuPree resorted to leasing essential equipment and goods on its own, items such as generators, which would normally be available through federal and state emergency services.

Because of Hattiesburg's position as a regional hub and as the first major metropolitan area outside of New Orleans, the city was flooded with thousands of evacuees. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, DuPree's government worked to meet the needs of the displaced evacuees without assistance from federal agencies.

In the weeks following Katrina, DuPree was a vocal critic of FEMA's inept performance and perceived indifference. Although the federal response to the Katrina disaster resulted in many high-profile accusations of racism, DuPree was among those who emphasized the role of income disparity. He also stated that "those charged with providing to those in need simply failed when called upon."

Elections
In the Democratic primary of the 2011 Mississippi gubernatorial election, DuPree faced businessman and future Clarksdale mayor Bill Luckett and two minor candidates. Despite a significant fundraising disadvantage, on August 23, 2011, DuPree defeated Luckett by 179,748 votes (43.6%) to 161,833 (39.2%). He lost to Republican nominee Phil Bryant in the general election on November 8, 2011.

In his 2013 mayoral re-election bid, DuPree faced fourth ward councilman Dave Ware, a Republican who ran as an independent, along with three minor candidates. In the June 4 election, DuPree was believed to be the winner by 37 votes out of over 9,600 cast, but concerns were raised about possible voter fraud, eligibility of some voters, and the fact that the city clerk left ballots unsecured in city hall the night before the election. Ware filed an election challenge on June 24, and a special judge was appointed by the state Supreme Court to hear the case. The jury initially found in favor of Ware in a 9-3 vote, the bare minimum for a verdict, however after Judge William Coleman polled the jurors, the count shifted to 8-4 and a mistrial was declared.

After a new election was ordered, another dispute arose over choosing replacements for two election commissioners who resigned. Ultimately, a clean slate of commissioners was chosen to oversee the special election. On election day, one precinct's ballot box was returned unsealed and, despite state law stating boxes must be locked and sealed at the precinct, the ballots were counted anyway. In the end, DuPree again narrowly bested Ware, this time by a margin of 217 votes.

In 2017, DuPree was defeated in a bid for a fifth consecutive term as mayor, losing to Toby Barker, a Republican member of the state House of Representatives, who ran as an independent.

In 2019, DuPree ran for Secretary of State of Mississippi and won the Democrat nomination in August. He lost the November 2019 general election to Republican candidate Michael Watson.

In 2021, DuPree announced his candidacy for Mississippi's 4th congressional district in the 2022 midterm elections. He lost to Mike Ezell.

Personal life
DuPree has been married to Johniece since 1972. They have two daughters, April and Monica and two grandsons, Chandler DuPree Taylor and Chesney DuPree Taylor. As of 2011, his older daughter, April DuPree Taylor (Coustaur Taylor), worked at the Department of Communication at the University of South Alabama, and his younger daughter, Monica DuPree, was an educator in the Hattiesburg Public School District.

2) How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.

Elizabeth A. Hunt


In their new paper, Evergreening of Pharmaceutical Exclusivity: Sorting Fact from Misunderstanding and Fiction, Professors Kristina Acri née Lybecker and Mark Schultz, along with CPIP John F. Witherspoon Legal Fellow David Lund, analyze how the term "evergreening" is used in the context of pharmaceuticals.
Settling lawsuits with generic manufacturers that seek to invalidate a patent.
In addition to identifying practices claimed to be "evergreening," this paper also discusses the impact and value of these practices. For most situations, the practices reflect specific policies that are having their desired effect, such as the increase in studies of drug safety and efficacy in children brought about by pediatric exclusivity. In some cases, the practices are simply legal impossibilities. Only in a few specific situations related to regulatory requirements do the authors observe strategic opportunities that could plausibly be considered problematic.
The paper, which started as part of Professor Acri's work through CPIP's Thomas Edison Innovation Fellowship, can be found here. The abstract is copied below.
When people use the term "evergreening" to describe pharmaceutical industry practices, they typically display an unwarranted confidence that they know exactly what they mean both descriptively and normatively. However, a consistent and coherent definition of "evergreening" does not appear to exist.
This article surveys legal, academic, trade, and popular sources that use the term "evergreening" to develop a taxonomy of the policies and actions to which the term is applied. We find that the term is used to cover roughly seven categories of circumstances. Our review finds that the use of the term, taken as a whole, is more typified by the diversity of practices to which it applies rather than any consistent meaning. There are some commonalties, but they exist mostly at a general level.
We then analyze these seven categories to determine if the rhetoric matches the reality. Evergreening is most frequently used as a pejorative term, with a common implication that the "evergreener" is engaged in some sort of strategic behavior at least, or perhaps an immoral if not illegal practice. However, the categorical application of a pejorative term such as "evergreening" to any of the general policies and types of actions we examine is unwarranted and inappropriate. Proponents often apply the term to ordinary use of legal rights as they were designed and the concept makes no meaningful distinction between beneficial and problematic actions.
Unfortunately, "Evergreening" is a key concept in health policy that obscures far more than it illuminates. Once the term is stripped of misunderstandings and loose rhetoric, little of value remains. This is not to say that all policies and actions that extend or preserve exclusive rights are prudent or defensible in individual cases. Rather, the discussion regarding patents and public health would gain much clarity and rationality from addressing the disparate things labeled as "evergreening" on their individual merits.

Types of Drugs
What Type of Drug is Ecstasy?
The scientific name of ecstasy is MDMA (or, to be more precise, 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine). It is a synthetic, psychoactive drug that has similarities to the stimulant amphetamine. MDMA was initially popular among young adults in the nightclub scene or at "raves" (huge, all night dance parties), but the drug now affects a broader range of users and ethnicities.
Ecstasy could contain just about anything. It is generally manufactured in clandestine labs by criminal drug dealers, not chemists. Ecstasy usually comes in tablets, which have been found to contain anywhere from 0-50% MDMA. The most common non-MDMA ingredients in "Ecstasy" are aspirin, caffeine, and other over-the-counter medications.
One of the most dangerous additives commonly found in "Ecstasy" is DXM (dextromethorphan,) a cough suppressant.
MDMA acts by increasing the activity of three neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. The emotional and social effects of MDMA are likely caused by the release of large amounts of serotonin, which influences mood. Serotonin also triggers the release of the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin, which play important roles in love, trust and sexual arousal and this may account for the feelings of emotional empathy produced by the drug. After Ecstasy leaves the body dopamine levels plummet, causing depression and irritability.
Ecstasy tablets may be any colour, and are generally embossed with a logo or design such as a butterfly, heart, lightning bolt, star, clover, or Zodiac sign. Ecstasy can be found in powder or in capsules.
Other street names are: E, XTC, Rolls, Adam, The Club Drug, Molly, Mandy, Designer Drug, The Party Drug, Hug Drug, Disco Biscuits, White Doves, New Yorkers, Love Drug, Clarity, Lover's Speed.
Effects of Ecstasy
The short-term effects of ecstasy include mental stimulation, emotional warmth, euphoria, empathy toward others and increased physical energy. Enhanced sensory perception is also a potential effect. This means that a person taking the drug may seem to be friendly, hyperactive or full of energy, and may seem wide awake even after hours of activity.
Side effects include confusion, depression, sleep problems, drug craving, and anxiety.
Ecstasy pills are easy to spot: they are small and coloured. They might look like little sweets.
Signs of ecstasy use include irregular sleeping patterns, unusual bursts of euphoria, a lack of awareness of pain and multiple sexual partners.
Other signs of ecstasy abuse:
Sweaty, a side effect of the high body temperature that is caused by the increased blood pressure and heart rate.
Dizziness or feeling faint.
Sore jaws (from excessive teeth grinding)
When abuse of the ecstasy becomes chronic signs include paranoia, depression, confusion and aggression.
Symptoms of ecstasy/MDMA Overdose
Faintness
High body temperature
Users tend to think Ecstasy is harmless fun, but it does pose serious health risks.
The greatest dangers Ecstasy abusers face in the short-term are super-elevated body temperature and dehydration. These are typical side effects, which can occur with any use, and they can be fatal.
On the other hand, drinking too much water suddenly can result in swelling of the brain and, in some circumstances, this can be fatal.
Other physical damage caused by ecstasy includes:
Involuntary jaw clenching and jaw problems
Cracked tooth enamel, worn teeth, tooth decay
Reduced appetite
Chills and sweating
Acne-like rash on the face and neck
Loss of control over voluntary body movements
Elevated heart rate
Brain cell destruction
Psychological Damage from Ecstasy Use:
Drug craving
Psychological addiction
Poor decision-making ability
Getting into fights or accidents
Anxiety and paranoia
Violent, irrational behavior
Decreased ability to process serotonin – critical to sleep and well-being
Physical symptoms of ecstasy withdrawal include:
Body ache (usually because of excessive dancing or other activities while high)
Constipation or diarrhea
Fatigue and lethargy
Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
Disturbed sleep
Extreme thirst
Soreness of the jaw (involuntary grinding of teeth is common during the high)
Psychological symptoms of ecstasy withdrawal include:
Problems with memory
Suicidal feelings
Treating Ecstasy Addiction at Castle Craig
Castle Craig Hospital has over 30 years experience in treating drug addiction – treatment begins with with a period of detoxification. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has proven to be an effective approach for preventing relapse. CBT is focused on helping addicted individuals abstain — and remain abstinent — from ecstasy and other substances. Community-based recovery groups—such as Narcotics Anonymous—that use a 12 Step program, can be helpful to people trying to sustain abstinence and are part of our continuing care programme for each patient. Participants benefit from supportive fellowship and from sharing with those experiencing common problems and issues. Please visit our treatment section for more details about our rehabilitation programme.

Q: Vectorizing a loop I am creating some artificial data. I need to create household ID (H_ID) and personal ID (P_ID, in each household).
I found a way how to create H_ID in vectorized way.
N <- 50

### Household ID
# loop-for
set.seed(20110224)
H_ID <- vector("integer", N)
H_ID[1] <- 1
for (i in 2:N) if (runif(1) < .5) H_ID[i] <- H_ID[i-1]+1 else H_ID[i] <- H_ID[i-1]
print(H_ID)

# vectorised form
set.seed(20110224)
r <- c(0, runif(N-1))
H_ID <- cumsum(r < .5)
print(H_ID)

But I can not figure out how to create P_ID in vectorized way.
### Person ID
# loop-for
P_ID <- vector("integer", N)
P_ID[1] <- 1
for (i in 2:N) if (H_ID[i] > H_ID[i-1]) P_ID[i] <- 1 else P_ID[i] <- P_ID[i-1]+1
print(cbind(H_ID, P_ID))

# vectorised form
# ???

A: Another example:
P_ID <- ave(rep(1, N), H_ID, FUN=cumsum)

I found out about the ave function a few days ago (here), and find it a really useful and efficient shortcut in many situations.

A: P_ID <- unname(unlist(tapply(H_ID, H_ID, function(x)c(1:length(x)))))

A: Inspired by Martin Morgan's solution to a closely related question, here's a truly vectorized way to generate the P_ID using the cummax function. It becomes clear once you note that P_ID is closely related to the cumsum of !(r < 0.5):
set.seed(1)
N <- 10
r <- c(0, runif(N-1))
H_ID <- cumsum(r < .5)
r_ <- r >= .5 # flip the coins that generated H_ID.
z <- cumsum(r_)  # this is almost P_ID; just need to subtract the right amount...
# ... and the right amount to subtract is obtained via cummax
P_ID <- 1 + z - cummax( z * (!r_) )
> cbind(H_ID, P_ID)
      H_ID P_ID
 [1,]    1    1
 [2,]    1    2
 [3,]    2    1
 [4,]    3    1
 [5,]    3    2
 [6,]    3    3
 [7,]    3    4
 [8,]    4    1
 [9,]    5    1
[10,]    5    2

I haven't done detailed timing tests, but it's probably wicked fast, since these are all internal, vectorized functions

A: seq_along() is a useful tool here. This example splits H_ID by itself into a list containing the households:
> head(split(H_ID, H_ID))
$`1`
[1] 1 1

$`2`
[1] 2

$`3`
[1] 3 3 3 3
....

A solution to the Q then is to lapply() the seq_along() function to each list element; seq_along() creates a vector 1:length(foo). The final two housekeeping steps, unlist the result and then remove the names:
> unname(unlist(lapply(split(H_ID, H_ID), seq_along)))
 [1] 1 2 1 1 2 3 4 1 1 2 3 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 1 1 2 1 2 1
[31] 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 3

A: Here's a reasonably compact and expressive solution. Somewhat similar to Simpson's in terms of its intermediate values:
cbind(H_ID,   unlist( sapply(table(H_ID), seq) ) )

The core to its strategy is to use the table()-ed values as argument to seq() which by default will take a single numeric value and return a sequence from 1.

Brahs, when I look out over these beaches that we call our home do you know what it is that I see? Our friends are gone, brahs. They're all replaced by tourists and socks-and-sandals wearing, salt-life bumper sticker having, lame-ass herbs. Now, I don't like to speak ill of anybody, but, my dudes, we are on the precipice of a cluster fuck right here. It's down to the wire now; the big one is coming in and we need to be out there and ready. If these feds and their narc friends take us out it's finished. Game over, man. So far I have been voting to waste kooks and frubes, basically if you didn't surf or you suck I voted for you. Right now I am hella suspicious of mudd and vhb but when it comes down to it I'm a surfer, dudes, not a detective. I read waves not people.
But now I'm at a loss.
I need to meditate on this.
Gonna hike up into the mountains and seclude myself.
Really give it a good think before I can vote.

Okay brahs. This might be our last chance to do this while we're all here. And that's kinda lame because it didn't have to be that way, and there's a bunch of waves and banks still out there. But like, the next generation of Presidents will come along, some day, and catch 'em. It's the way mother earth works, man.
But like, years ago, when I was still new to the scene, man, there was this one babe who started showing up on the beach at the same time. And like, the first few times she didn't really seem like she wanted to be there, she was just some dude's girlfriend, right. Just wanted to hang out and drink and sit by the bonfires and wasn't really into living life to the extreme. But one day, she finally got talked into getting on a board herself, and you know what happened?
From that moment on, man, we could never get her off the board. Once she tried it, she found out she really liked it, and nothing else would do anymore. She caught every wave, man. Tireless pursuit of life at its fullest. No wave she would not chase down. She surfed hard, man. She wanted to be President, too, but of course it didn't work that way. Not because she was a babe, per se, but we were out of masks too, man. "Sorry, babe, looks like you don't get to be President." But she was chill with it and just caught the waves until we were back and she stashed that cash where nobody but us could ever find it. They still haven't, man. Righteous.
Then one day, then as now, the FBI was coming for us, man, but she was the one on the beach because there was a huge wave out that day. Dangerously huge, man, like worthy of Maverick. None of the rest of us were up to it, but of course she was. Her and one other dude. But he was a Narc, man. I saw him cuff her, try to bring her in. There was a chopper. She knew her time was up, man. Then, right as that monster wave was cresting, she told him to look at that wave, and how beautiful it was, and pleaded with him to let her catch that one last wave. Of course he said no, so she pointed out to him that she was surrounded. There was nowhere for her to go. This beach, see, had cliffs on both sides. You know the one, right? Yeah. I still remember, because it made me laugh so hard. She said "What am I gonna do, I can't paddle to New Zealand!" And you know what? That Narc got a heart for like one second, undid the cuffs, and told her to Vaya Con Dios one last time as the FBI surrounded her.
So she paddled out, and this wave was so HUGE man, like I said even we wanted no part of it, it was a killer, brah, but what did she have to lose? I heard the Narcs say something about getting her when she came back in. But of course she didn't. Even over the roar of the wave that crashed over her when I saw her for the last time, I could hear her laughing.
That was the last any of us saw of her. But like, years later, I got a letter, and it was written in her handwriting. It read simply:
"Update: I'm still laughing."
Guess she paddled to New Zealand after all.
Anyway, I tell you this story because she always rode so hard, grabbed life by both hands, man, and it inspired us then and still inspires me now. She did this thing, man, where she'd stay up all night reading Tide Charts, man. All night. Like I said, once she got into it, she really got into it. Least I can do now is try and do what she'd do, maybe the next generation will keep it going. I reviewed the whole thread, man, looking for vote patterns.

I've made the wrong decision in this situation so many times that thinking about this game rn makes me wanna barf
I guess I think fuckles is probably good and capital makes me feel uneasy and if no one else is going to make a move then fuck it
if anyone else has a better idea I'll try to check in before the deadline but I'm gonna go play with my daughter now and not think about this game
by can't » Sun Feb 14, 2016 1:38 pm
There's no better move PE. But if people want another radical idea to get behind instead, I'm going to put a vote down for VH Balanced. Boom
ride.
by VHB » Sun Feb 14, 2016 1:59 pm
Yeah, Palmer, I was thinking Capital too. He cast the last vote on Day 2 and it broke a tie, ensuring a death. Unless he somehow knows that Separator (who he voted to condemn) was FBI, that looks really weird.
We could lose if we're wrong and it's 2-4 (if its 1-5 then no worries, brah). If we think it's 2-4 we can technically afford to punt until tomorrow when it becomes 2-3 but that's an absolute do-or-die if that's the case.
Capital, would love to hear from you, and have it be something that can chance my mind, broski.
by Jarl Skeletal » Sun Feb 14, 2016 2:33 pm
my vote on day 2 was the same as my vote on day one, brahs. I voted for separator because he wasn't around and then when he was he was just hanging out on the beach. Nobody else stood out at that point so that's what I went with.
But now, without death reveals and our main dude Bohdi probably dead, it's kind of a toss-up for who to vote for now . I have to go with you VH Balanced
Honestly, the tie is probably better.
I wonder what's going to happen from here
by mudd » Sun Feb 14, 2016 2:48 pm
i finally made it to the water and now i've lost my board goddamit
i feel pretty exposed as the last vote in a tie-breaker. but i'm already on the record for being suspect of capital so i'm sticking with my gut. waiting out a tie is crazy but not crazy enough.
by bigcat » Sun Feb 14, 2016 2:52 pm
Voting is closed. Stand by for lore.
A circle of surfers stands around the nightly bonfire.They are all eating pizza. They think about killing each other, things are getting way harsh. But wait, there are too many opinions.
All of a sudden a huge tidal wave rears up on the beach. It's coming closer and closer, threatening to engulf them all. Good god. Who knew the FBI had climate control. Well, we all suspected.
As the tidal wave gets closer and closer, VHB shouts, "You dummies! Look! It's just a front of clouds moving in. Durrrrr!" Everyone laughs and does cheers with their kombucha as the last glimmers of sun fade from the horizon.
Night 5 begins... NOW.

whatever this is and wherever I'm going I just want to say I ride hard for surfing and I fucking love you Keanu.
to my moms and pads: you never understood me but you simply slay anyway
http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=https ... e=notanarc
on the plus side i've finally got up on my board!
on the minus side, we're about to lose another person and whoever dies now was unquestionable team good. ugh.
He should have known.
Anyone who's ridden long enough sees the Wave right before it's time to go to the Surf Shop in the Sky. And no surfer knew the ways of beach lyfe better than this particular bb.
WIPEOUT!!! VHB is dead. Day 5 will last until tonight (2/14) at 7:30 PM EST.
ugh really
Vh was probably right about a tie being a good move or whatever but I'd rather just get this game over with asap
I also don't know what vh dying means as a wolf strategy here
if it was intended to make me confused then congratulations
I hear you bra. this is so FOCKED OP.
This vote is to release my homie edit palmer
I mean capital
