One Day in Fraser Valley: country singer Kadooh | Eat North
Since setting out on a journey to reconnect with his roots, the Alberta-born-B.C.-based country singer Kadooh has continued to carve out a unique path in Canadian country music.
Following the success of his 2019 self-titled EP, Kadooh's newest single, "Rattlesnake Bite"–which was co-produced by close friend and award-winning musician Chard Kroeger of Nickelback–showcases his ever-evolving style with a highly danceable upbeat blend of modern country and classic guitar-driven rock.
"Country music is a genre I've really grown to love, and I think it's opened itself up on both the pop and rock side. The parameters have really expanded, and that's been really great for me," said Kadooh. "This song is a put down your phone, get up and head to the dance floor anthem! Allowing people to let loose and burn off some much-needed steam!"
We recently caught up with Kadooh ahead of the highly-anticipated release of "Rattlesnake Bite", to find out where the talented singer loves to dine in the Fraser Valley region.
The Hilltop Cafe's food is amazing! Their slogan is "If you're in a hurry, go somewhere else." The sausage patties are so good!
Vi-La Palace is so welcoming and the food is hands down some of the best you'll ever enjoy!
When I barbecue chicken at home it's wicked awesome, but if I don't feel like cooking, a sweet prime rib beef dip from Lou's Grill is one of my favourites. Add in some sticky toffee pudding… all I can say is BAM!

There is a very peculiar issue that's been affecting our forums for quite some time now. For some users, the 'Mark Channels Read' button isn't marking any channels as Read, and some of the Channels appear as 'Unread' spontaneously, even if no new posts have been been made.
Changed Marking type to Cookie based. I changed to cookies,and then back.
I'd really appreciate if you guys could help me out with this one. It's very annoying.

Franko Luin, Carniola's designer, on this typeface: Carniola is a pastiche of different type designs from the beginning of the 20th century, mostly American. I am not very fond of it, but was convinced to release it by someone who needed a typeface with a time typical feeling. On the other hand: why not use the original typefaces from that period? Carniola has its name from the Latin name of Kranjska/Krain, a principality in the former Habsburg monarchy (Austria-Hungary), now part of modern Slovenia.

Q: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header present AngularJS I am trying to build a quick demo site that I do not have control over the server I am trying to connect to. Here is the code that I am using to build it with AngularJS. I am running the file through a simple Python HTTP Server and viewing it at localhost:8000.
    var retrieveAppliances = function () {
        console.log('Attempting to retrieve appliance list.');
var requestUrl = '****';
    $http({
        method: 'GET',
        url: requestUrl,
    })
    .then(function (response) {
        console.log(response);
    });
};
retrieveAppliances();

I have read multiple places to try switching the method to JSONP but doing so resulted in a parsing error.
While I have considered trying to build a server.js file and running NodeJS with it, I am unsuccessful in learning the basics of making an AJAX request and proxying that to my app.js.
I will greatly appreciate any help that someone may be able to give me, with clear and easy to follow steps.

A: If you're running an Ajax call to a different origin (e.g. different host, port or protocol) and the server at that origin does not have support for cross origin requests, then you cannot fix that from your client.  There is nothing you can do from the client.
If the server supported JSONP, you could use that, but that also requires specific server support.
The only solutions from a browser web page are:

*

*CORS support on the target server.

*JSONP (also requires support on the target server).

*Set up your own server that you do have access to (either on your existing page domain or with CORS) and then have that server get the file/data for you and proxy it back to you.  You can either write your own proxy or deploy a pre-built proxy.

*Find some existing third party proxy service that you can use.

If you're interested in making your own node.js proxy, you can see a simple example here: How to create a simple http proxy in node.js?.

LEGALLY SPEAKING: What happens if grace period following visa cancellation lapses?
IF THE GRACE PERIOD (FOLLOWING THE VISA CANCELLATION) HAS LAPSED, CAN I JUST PAY THE OVERSTAY FINE WHILE WAITING FOR MY NEW VISA?
You can pay the overstay fine as long as your previous sponsor has not yet filed an absconding case against you. Your sponsor has the right to report you as an absconder if you failed to leave the country or get a new visa after the lapse of your grace period following cancellation. Even if you are willing to pay your overstay fine, the Immigration office will still require you to clear your absconding case.

Captured ISIS Fighter Talks about Use of Slave-Girls as Rewards for Fighters
Source: Alaan TV (UAE)
Abu Al-Mughaira Al-Muhajer, an ISIS fighter captured in Aleppo, talked about the practice by ISIS of buying slave-girls and handing them out to fighters as rewards. In an interview, broadcast on September 22 by the UAE-based Alaan TV channel, he recounted that he had been given three supposedly Yazidi and Christian slave-girls, and that he had later complained to his emir after realizing that they were the wives of FSA fighters.
Following are excerpts
News caster:: The Al-Sham Front in the Aleppo area has captured a group of ISIS fighters. One of them is Abu Al-Mughaira Al-Muhajer, a fighter from Aleppo. He talked about how ISIS emirs used slave-girls as rewards for their fighters. Let's watch.
Abu Al-Mughaira Al-Muhajer:: Whenever they took captives, they would bring slave-girls, and they would place them on the slave market in Al-Raqqah. Afterwards, they would sell them for dollars. Their price would range from $250 to $500. The Islamic State would buy slave-girls and give them as rewards. After I informed on my brother who wanted to leave ISIS, I was rewarded with three slave-girls - one from Damascus and two from Homs. All of them had been beaten on their backs. They told me that the girl from Damascus was a Yazidi, and that the two girls from Homs were Christians. They told me that they had been captured, but it turned out that they were wives of FSA fighters from the Islamic Front. So I went to the emir and told him that they were not slave-girls or anything. He admitted that they were wives of FSA fighters, but said that they too needed to be captured.

It's 2016. Can we stop using MD5 in malware analyses?
So let's just stop using MD5 everywhere. And, while we're at it, do the same with SHA-1, a collision for which is expected to be found this year, and skip straight to SHA-256.
Finally, if you're worried that your Tweets will be too long if you use SHA-256 hashes to refer to malware samples, use a link to the file's report on VirusTotal or malwr.com instead, which takes up fewer characters than even MD5. Or, if you really want to, find a way to encode SHA-256 hashes into emojis.

Q: CASE inside ORDER BY with multiple columns I want to conditionally order a query
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN TRUE THEN users.name, users.lastname END

but it raises syntax error syntax error near or at ",".
Examle below works like a charm
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN TRUE THEN users.name END

I've also tried
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN TRUE THEN "users.name, users.lastname" END

which raises "users.name, users.lastname" does not exist
    ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN TRUE THEN "users"."name", "users"."lastname" END

this raises syntax error at ","
how to put multiple columns inside CASE inside ORDER BY?

A: You need to use ROW constructor in order to compose few columns together
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN TRUE THEN ROW(users.name, users.lastname) END

if there is more than 1 value inside ROW() you can skip ROW keyword. Here is shorter version with syntactic sugar:
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN TRUE THEN (users.name, users.lastname) END

A: Just use two case expressions:
ORDER BY (CASE WHEN TRUE THEN users.name END),
         (CASE WHEN TRUE THEN users.lastname END)

Winter Walk was inspired by just that. A snowy walk through the woods by Denyse Schmidt in her New England stomping grounds. In her words, " the hushed, cold stillness that throws the richly neutral palette of ... winter into sharp relief." She's as poetic a writer as she is a designer, her collection "celebrates the beauty of nature in repose — winter, the cool, muted, sophisticated season – silently laying the groundwork for the imminent splashy showiness of spring".
Her characteristic small scale prints are beautiful here mixed with very awesome dots and a beautiful muted palette.
Spark - I know quilters who keep their Denyse Schmidt fabrics in a separate place, special and cherished. I say, use them. Make something beautiful with them and mix them with her collections from the past.

U. of Alabama Student Publicly Quits Secretive Greek Society Known as 'The Machine'
Kate Dries
Filed to: university of alabamaFiled to: university of alabama
fraternities
The University of Alabama's not-so-secret political coalition The Machine, which controls their Student Government via approved members of the Greek system, has dissent in its midst. On Monday, the student paper The Crimson White published an op-ed from a senator who says she no longer wants to work under their influence, as well as a story featuring three anonymous members of SGA about what it's like to work with The Machine breathing down your neck.
In brief, the Machine is a group of students who are all members of historically white Greek sororities and fraternities, whose job it is as representatives is to work to influence members of the SGA to vote in ways that will be advantageous to Greek life at the University. Once approved candidates are voted into office, Machine members communicate with them on who they'd like to get elected and how to vote on specific matters.
But the effectiveness of this voting bloc seems past its prime. "I refused to let an oppressive system silence my opinion any longer," writes UA Sophomore Alex Smith in her op-ed, which, even if you don't understand the details of way the social stratosphere functions at the University of Alabama, speaks to its insanity; it's as though you're reading about characters on House of Cards. Smith writes that she was told by a Machine representative when elected that she "would never be told to vote against my conscience," but that shortly after, that dictum was reverse, and she received a text with explicit instructions on who to vote for. When Smith pushed back, she "was told I needed to 'not bring any unwanted attention' and to 'not make people raise their eyebrows this early on.'"
Smith also further emphasizes the how difficult it has been for current SGA President Elliot Spillers to work effectively during his tenure due to the Machine (Spillers is the first black SGA President at UA since 1976 and the first non-Machine appointed leader in decades).
It was painstakingly clear the only reason the senate would not approve the appointment of President Spillers' chief of staff was because he wasn't who The Machine picked. We were told that he "wouldn't be good for the greek system." I remember having conversations with other Machine senators who believed blocking the appointment was unfair and that President Spillers had every right to choose who he thought would be most qualified for the position. To be honest, we were all a little afraid of what would happen if we didn't vote how we were supposed to. Would we be in trouble? Would our fraternity or sorority suffer? What would this do to our future SGA careers?
Smith writes that she's leaving SGA because she doesn't understand "why The Machine intimidates and suppresses the voices of students while simultaneously sabotaging any progressive plans independents propose, especially when those plans would help every individual on this campus, including greeks. Her thoughts are echoed by the other anonymous "Greek-affiliated" SGA Senators who discussed how the Machine functions with the Crimson White. They describe an initiation process that, unsurprisingly, "has a root in hazing activities," which are "mostly emotional for girls and physical for guys."
"I spoke to a Machine rep and they definitely go through extensive hazing," Logan said. "And they describe it as being something that brings [them] closer and teaches [them] to look out for each other... it's like, 'We're all gonna have to suffer this so we might as well get to know each other while we do it, make it as enjoyable as possible.'"
Interestingly, both pieces explain that once elected, the Machine doesn't seem particularly interested in the platforms of the particular candidates they elect, just that they do what they're told.
Jamie attributes the lack of Machine interference to a general need for power as opposed to support for any particular candidate's platform.
"I don't think the Machine cares. I think the Machine just wants to have a majority in Senate," Jamie said. "That's all they care about."
This is hardly the first time individuals have spoken out against the Machine, though it does seem to occur in fits and spurts; a 2004 Crimson White article outlined the struggles of Emily Aviki, a Chi Omega SGA Senator who was verbally threatened when she didn't vote the way Machine representatives told her to. But the pieces are timely, given the tensions that seem to be rising to the surface at Alabama over the past few years. A few weeks ago, screenshots of texts showed sisters in the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority being told not to vote for their sister Halle Lindsay for Homecoming Queen because she wasn't a Machine-backed candidate, and to instead vote for Katelyn Katsafanas. The Alpha Gamma Delta sisters were concerned about losing the support of the Machine if word got out that they weren't supporting Katsafanas, which, in their mind, could have ruined them socially. And it worked, it seems: while Lindsay made it to Homecoming court, Katsafanas ultimately won Queen.
Alabama Sorority Sisters Won't Support Black Sister Running for Homecoming Queen
New reports from the University of Alabama claim that one of the black women who was accepted into…
If it wasn't clear before, much of the Machine's power seems rooted in student fear of unknown rather than anything else. But it does have real world, non-University of Alabama ramifications: two years ago, the Machine successfully got a former student/SGA president and another UA alum elected to the Tuscaloosa school board, reportedly through tactics some considered voter fraud.

dude, I just checked my orders online since I left work at 6. A bunch came in. This thing is starting to get out of hand. . .
The classic model of breakthrough discoveries is a lot like Columbus' discovery of america. Columbus searched for something he knew (india) and ended up finding something that didn't know (america). Such is serendipity. It's not so much moving in the same direction as everyone else, it's more about purposely going in a different direction than everyone else and seeing what you find. It's all about being a fool in the right places.
Perhaps a computer program that mines facebook data that sends you messages about serendipitous events?
Nothing bothers me more than the atheist who comments on the lack of scientific rigor of a particular religious belief but then listens to his stock broker.
Happy 2011 everyone, let's hope this year will be a good one.
My new years resolution: increase serendipity. My strategy. . . pull a random noun out of the dictionary and do a task related to it. Or cross fertilize it with a task you want to do, then see where it leads. The purpose isn't to be "right". It is sometimes necessary to go through a wrong area in order to get to a position where the correct stepping stone is visible. It's about movement rather than judgment.
This will fail 95% of the time, but it can lead to breakthroughs and new possibilities.

What is a gyre? It's the weather pattern helping fuel 2020's wild hurricane season
Gyre references a weather pattern that can develop in the tropical atmosphere.
Author: Alex Sosnowski (AccuWeather)
Several systems from the hyperactive 2020 hurricane season, including many of the land-falling storms along the Gulf Coast, developed in a similar way, stemming from a breeding ground created by an unsettled weather phenomenon that can brew at times over part of the Atlantic.
The more common use of the term 'gyre' describes large areas of ocean water currents, but it also references a weather pattern that can develop in the tropical atmosphere and more specifically the atmosphere over the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific.
A gyre, relating to weather, is simply a broad area of slowly spinning air that rotates counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. A gyre by itself generally does not produce high winds and severe weather, but it can help spawn these conditions.
During the summer and most of the autumn, winds in the tropical Atlantic and tropical eastern Pacific tend to blow from the east.
However, during the latter part of the hurricane season, and especially during October and November, northwesterly winds in the lower part of the atmosphere can occur frequently in the Gulf of Mexico.
Some of the northwesterly wind flow can be drawn southward into Central America for short periods of time.
"This contrasting wind pattern from the east and northwest creates an oval-shaped, counterclockwise flow of air, called the Central American gyre" that can set up anywhere from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula to Panama and even over the western part of the Caribbean or the easternmost part of the tropical Pacific, according to AccuWeather's top hurricane expert Dan Kottlowski.
Within this tropical gyre, the air is not only rotating slowly, but it is also rising. When air rises in the atmosphere, it creates low pressure and moisture, which in turn generates clouds, showers and thunderstorms. The gyre can persist for a few days to a few weeks and can lead to long-term unsettled conditions.
Within this broad area of unsettled weather, somewhat stronger pulses of low pressure, associated with more intense clusters of thunderstorms and stronger spin in the atmosphere can develop.
These smaller features can occur on their own, but they tend to arise more often when a tropical disturbance, called a tropical wave, arrives in the zone of unsettled atmospheric conditions.
Tropical waves are batches of thunderstorms that originate from the Indian Ocean and Africa and travel westward across the Equatorial Atlantic, as well as eastern and central Pacific basins.
Sometimes these spin-up disturbances can become strong enough to develop into tropical depressions, tropical storms and even hurricanes and can travel hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away from the breeding ground of the gyre.
"We tend to see the gyre set up once or twice during the month of October alone, and it was the Central American gyre that helped to give birth to Gamma and Delta in the Caribbean during the autumn of 2020," Kottlowski said.
The gyre can set up in the spring as well, but this occurrence is more rare than during the autumn.
"The gyre does not happen very often in the spring because the easterly winds in the tropics are not yet well established. But, in rare cases, it can set up during April, May and June if the easterly flow sets up earlier than average," Kottlowski said.
In the spring of 2020, the easterly winds were well established. It was the Central American Gyre that contributed to the development of Eastern Pacific Tropical Storm Amanda at the end of May 2020 and then, just days later, Tropical Storm Cristobal in the Gulf of Mexico during early June.
It is highly unlikely for the Central American gyre to be established during July and August as a northwesterly flow across the Gulf of Mexico is extremely rare during this part of the summer.

Home/World News/Ukraine suffered a lot due to the bombing of the Russian army, 10 to 13 thousand soldiers died in the war
Ukraine suffered a lot due to the bombing of the Russian army, 10 to 13 thousand soldiers died in the war
Complaint filed against former Olympic winner, accused of inciting violence against the President, know the whole matter
Ukraine Military Loss: It has been more than 9 months since the Russia-Ukraine war, but still no one is ready to back down. Before 9-10 months, no one had thought that Ukraine could fight with the Russian army for so long. Due to their spirit, the soldiers of Ukraine are engaged in rescuing even the second most dangerous army in the world, although they are suffering heavy losses in this.
In the war with Russia, Ukraine has lost 10 to 13 thousand soldiers so far. This information was given by Mykhailo Podoliak, advisor to President Zelensky, to a TV channel. This figure can also be close to August, because at that time the Chief of the Ukrainian forces had given information about the death of 9,000 soldiers. By now this figure would have increased further.
Ukraine lost 10-13 thousand soldiers
Mykhailo Podoliak told the Ukrainian TV channel, "We have official figures of top command officers and general staff attached to the armed forces." According to these official figures, between 10,000 and 13,000 of our soldiers have been killed so far. The number of injured soldiers is even more than this. We will never hide the figures of the dead.
Russia claims 1 lakh soldiers killed
Recently US Army General Mark Milley claimed that 40,000 Ukrainian civilians and over a million Russian soldiers were killed or wounded in the war. Meanwhile, the President of Ukraine Zelensky has also made a similar claim. Zelensky has claimed that by the end of this year, Russia would have lost one lakh of its soldiers in this war. According to Ukraine, so far the Russian army has lost about 88,380 soldiers. At the same time, Russia says that less than 10,000 of its soldiers have died.
Putin lost more than 160 generals
According to a BBC report, Putin has lost more than 1500 high army officers in this war, out of which more than 160 are generals and colonels. Earlier, a high official of the US Army had claimed that more than one lakh soldiers of the Russian Army were killed in this war. However, how much damage has been done to Russia in this war, no information has been given on this from the Kremlin yet.

So when can we expect to see this last comic? is there a deadline or something? Please try and make the last episode(s) less poor than recent efforts - although to be fair I couldn't do better. :)
anonymous at 4:08AM, Dec. 19, 2008
Here's an update for you Drunk Duck natives who don't check this comic's forum: The show's over. Sorry, guys. The authors have called it quits, and even with a community of dozens contributing to this project, the comic has been pretty much sagging update wise in recent months. We just can't keep this train moving any further. Go to this thread to submit your entries for the final strip to wrap things up: http://community.thewotch.com/index.php?showtopic=4377

Oh. I hadn't even seen the "KICK" until you mentioned it. Thanks.

when that's done claim the flashlight in the flashlight thread. From then you've got 3 days to turn around the finished product. The page must follow some simple guidelines which can be found in the rules thread of the same forum. (huh... the link has a bunch of crap in it. this one should work just fine.) http://community.thewotch.com/index.php?showforum=49
If you'd like to participate visit the forum at http://community.thewotch.com/index.php?s=7870f9b3dec87c6c8ec9a462baaa1962&showf orum=49 and register an account. It shouldn't take too long to get confirmation depending on how busy the host is.

Okay now, how does one make a submission. Surely we can do better than these last few.

Kevin's just waking up from being beaten down by Missy and is awake until he comments on Jimmy's shorts... the 'Kick' and Kevin out cold is just to Jimmy shutting him up with her foot.

PC Sexuality
Harold Covington
Sometimes in this job, helpless to intervene or stop it, able only to offer an occasional few words of advice or comfort, I witness things which this system does which can only be called pure evil.
One of these events occurred in 1990-92 when a once strong and proud man named Phil H. was humiliated, destroyed, bankrupted, and his very soul violated and contaminated and desecrated by a woman whom, pathetically, he has to my knowledge never ceased to love to this very day.
Her disgraceful and vicious behavior in this matter cuts to the very heart of this whole dichotomy between White men and White women, not because it is excessive, but because it is typical. I could cite dozens of similar stories I've run across personally down the years, including several of my own, but Phil's case I know a bit better than most because he got to be pretty regular pen and phone comrades and I got a play by play description as a White woman and lawyers and a court system run by Jews destroyed his life piece by shredded piece, in one of the most contemptible and egregious acts of betrayal I have ever observed on the part of any woman of any race.
Phil's mistake was to acquire certain racial and religious beliefs along the line of Christian Identity. Since he lived in Idaho, one weekend he attended one of the gatherings at the Aryan Nations compound in Hayden Lake – a legal political and religious assembly wherein constitutionally protected freedoms were exercised. (Take the bitter and ironic laughter as read.)
Security at Hayden Lake is completely non-existent, as anyone who has ever attended such a pow-wow can confirm, and every knees-up on Butler's property is so heavily infiltrated with Federal agents, ADL spies, and undercover news media that there has been more than one documented case of them spying on one another, trying to entrap one another into illegal acts or gun deals, etc. One of the undercover reporters was snapping pictures and Phil's face ended up on his local front page. I repeat – his photo at a completely legal gathering on private property, exercising freedoms clearly protected by the First Amendment.
In a pig's eye. That photo turned his life into a blasted wasteland.
Phil's wife of 12 years had been perfectly well aware of his racial views from the time they first met and it had never been a problem so long as the shekels flowed into her greedy little manicured hands at a prodigious rate, which for a time Phil was able to provide. However, about this time Phil's business hit a slump and there were some other financial problems and the flow of goodies was sharply curtailed. About the same time wifey got involved in a fling with a local glitterati type, of which there are many in the Idaho Panhandle, some kind of ski bum I think this guy was. So she decided it's time to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. She filed for divorce and, of course, Phil's smiling mug at the AN gathering was the centerpiece of the festivities.
Phil sent me the actual legal papers on all this, and I think from this point on we can all fill in the blanks. Between his attorney and hers, his financial carcass was picked clean as a whistle. Over $100,000 ended up going to lawyers and assorted legal parasites alone. She forced him to liquidate his business and give her the entire proceeds. She ended up with (as I recall) something like $2,500 a month child support, an insane sum which the judge admitted she (of course) was awarding "to make sure that money goes to your wife and child and not to racist causes." (Phil was never a member of AN and used to donate maybe the odd $5 or $10 to AN and to me every three months or so.)
But the worst of all was Phil's child visitation rights, if such they may be called; this ruling is in fact a kind of ritual humiliation of the White and Christian fundamentalist male which is becoming all too common in the liberal court system today. Phil was allowed to see his 12 year-old son for something like two hours every two weeks, only at the county courthouse or police station in an interview room, only in the presence of the wife, and only in the presence of a police or county sheriff "community relations officer" to make sure that Phil did not (I'm quoting direct here) "attempt in any way or manner to instruct, indoctrinate, or propagate in the mind of [boy's name] any doctrine or belief system of a racial, White supremist [sic] or Christian Identity nature." Phil ran out of money about that time and has not been able to hire another lawyer to appeal, nor would it do any good if he did; his son is almost 18 now anyway.
Phil has spent the intervening years fighting back with a dignity and stubborn strength which excites my admiration and makes me wonder how many guys like him are out there. He understands and accepts that he cannot stop her and that he is helpless unless he wants to pick up a gun and "go postal," the last tangible remedy left to him. He told me he considered it but decided he will not complete the destruction of his own life and his son's by killing the bitch.
What he has done is the White male equivalent of passive resistance: he has simply done like Nancy Reagan advised and said "no." He refuses to pay for his ex to disport herself with the ski bum and a subsequent string of lovers, apparently of both sexes and mixed races as she enjoys her "liberation" from Phil's racist patriarchal shackles. He refuses to get a job and spends his days intermittently homeless and living in his car, when he has one, or in a boarding house when he is able to scrape up a little money collecting aluminum cans or doing odd jobs. This can get pretty dodgey in those terrible Idaho winters, but he manages, although sometimes he has to go as far as Boise to get admitted to a shelter when it's really bad – but when the weather breaks he shoots right up to Coeur d'Alene again. He's managed to sneak onto welfare a couple of times until they found out and tried to garnishee his benefits, so he canceled them.
Phil has been arrested at least twice that I know of and once did 30 days for contempt when he refused to get a job and pay his obscene child support. This was in the winter and when the judge hauled him back in front of her to berate and browbeat him he asked for another 30 days because the jail was heated and he got fed better there than he could feed himself homeless on the outside. She was so enraged she kicked him loose. The second time she tried to order the sheriff to put him on bread and water in an unheated cell, but the sheriff explained to her, gently and patiently, that torture is illegal in this country, even for White males, and refused, so she threw Phil out into the snow again. He was also busted a couple of times for "stalking" when he got caught near wifey's home, but nothing ever came of it because the "stalking" consisted of wifey and the boy observing him panhandling or sleeping in a doorway on a public street.
His credo is now simple, and he has told it to the judge and anyone else who cares to listen. "She did this. She can live with the consequences. She gets nothing from me, not ever again. End of story." To the question, "What about your son?" he answers, "I can't give him money and material things, but I can give him a visible example of how a true man lives his life and stands up for what's right no matter what it costs him. I think that will be more valuable to him than whatever benefit he might get from my money once she gets through spending most of it on herself and her latest toy boy or girl."
I sure as hell hope that kid has the smarts to learn that lesson and not just be resentful because he can't buy the latest Nintendo or Air Nigger athletic shoes.
Phil did one more thing. In 1992 he wrote a leaflet for me called "Politically Correct Sexuality." This comes from the heart and soul of a really big man in every sense of the word. Sieg Heil, brother!
Politically Correct Sexuality
Guidelines to Acceptable Gender Attitudes and Relations under the Bill and Hillary Clinton Co-Presidency
Phil H.
RULE 1. Men and women are equal. Period. End of story. If anything, women are superior. No contradiction of this basic premise is allowed. None. Period. End of story. Any biological, physical, or practical facts which contradict this basic premise simply do not exist. Period. End of story. Any person, man or woman, who attempts to disagree or argue that there are innate biological, physical, or emotional differences between men and women must be shouted down and silenced by any means available.
RULE 2. For White heterosexual males, marriage is the only socially acceptable institution for the relief of innate biological sexual instincts. Sexual activity outside marriage for White males is sexist and shows disrespect for women. Sexual activity for White females outside marriage is liberating and shows independence and strength of character. Blacks of either gender may engage in any sexual behavior of any kind on an unlimited basis, without restraint or social reproof. (NB: Blacks are immune to criticism of any kind.)
RULE 3.For the duration of any sexual relationship before, during, and after marriage, the provision of relief for the man's biological sex drive is entirely at the discretion of the woman. She says when, where, how, and is in full control. In most states nowadays, if she is displeased with her mate's sexual, financial, or social performance, she may accuse him of marital rape and have him sent to prison for many years.
RULE 4. IMPORTANT: Women always tell the truth. Men always lie. No woman is ever guilty of anything. All men are always guilty of everything. Any accusation of physical or sexual abuse made by the woman against the man is to be believed, completely and without question, regardless of how improbable or bizarre the allegation. Any denial by the man, any attempt on his part to point out facts which do not conform to the woman's version of events, any attempt to bring out any past falsehood or neurotic behavior on her part, is inadmissible and shall be disregarded, scorned, and shouted down.
RULE 5. The only White males who are entitled to credibility, responsible position in the community, or any rights at all are homosexuals. The duty of the heterosexual White male is to work hard, obey his woman, and to pay for everything. At all times he shall remain humble and maintain a respectful silence unless spoken to.
RULE 6. Women will receive the advantage in any dealings with the courts and the legal system. The theory behind this is that women have been traditionally disadvantaged and must therefore now receive preferential treatment, i.e. two wrongs make a right.
RULE 7. When children are involved, custody will almost always be granted to the mother, unless the mother shows up for court reeking of liquor, obviously stoned on drugs, or else raving mad and confined in a straitjacket. Sometimes she'll even get custody under those conditions. If the mother is in a mental institution or serving a prison sentence for a felony conviction, the children will almost always be given to the mother's relatives. Granting custody to the father is to be avoided at all costs in order to avoid preserving White Male Hegemony, whatever that is.
RULE 8. Any accusation of physical or sexual child abuse leveled by the woman against the man is to be believed without question. Great strides in jurisprudence have already been made in the legal disposition of child abuse and rape cases. Such tedious formalities as the Constitutional right to be confronted with one's accuser, the right to cross-examine witnesses, the legal prohibition against hearsay evidence, the right to a speedy trial, the right not to be denied bail and not to have excessive bail imposed, and in some cases the right to trial by jury have already been done away with in many states. In the state of Washington the progressive legal concept of preventive detention without even a criminal charge is being implemented against White males who may offend against politically correct sexuality, while in Idaho a new hate crimes law defines ALL WOMEN as a politically protected minority, thus covering everyone except heterosexual White males against discrimination and "crimes of bias."
It is to be hoped that under the enlightened rule of Presidents Bill and Hillary Clinton, the whole time-consuming business of a trial for accused White male child abusers and rapists may be done away with altogether, and the process streamlined so that the accused man is arrested, immediately taken before a judge for sentencing, and then directly to prison. The victim of White male aggression has already suffered enough, and it is unjust that she be put through the ordeal of having to relive her nightmare in a courtroom. Besides, the savings to taxpayers alone argue strongly for such a progressive approach. The money saved can be used to feed the millions of starving people in Africa, or better yet, to bring them here to a new home and new life in America.
RULE 9. When the woman tires of the marriage and ends it, the man will be legally compelled to pay one third to one half of his NET income to support a wife and family who are no longer his and whom he may never see again, sometimes for as long as twenty-five or thirty years. If the man objects to this perpetual debt bondage, he is liable to be imprisoned for any length of time without trial, for contempt of court. Should the man revolt in despair against this life of perpetual impoverishment and financial slavery which becomes utterly unbearable, and take flight in a desperate attempt to find someplace where he can start over and possibly build another life and another family before he is too old to do so, then he is a dog, a cur, and he will be hunted down like the vile beast he is and punished with all the majestic wrath of American justice.
RULE 10. Women are born with an inalienable right to HAVE IT ALL: love, money, respect, subservience, obedience, children, career, adventure, romance, political power. Man exists on this earth solely to provide her with this wonderful, stress-free, disappointment-free life which is rightfully hers. She is Woman, hear her roar! All men are morally required to look like Robert Redford, earn a minimum of $300,000 per year, perform like a bull in bed when his woman is in the mood and never, ever make the slightest demand otherwise, and generally to fulfill every whim, every fantasy, every materialistic desire she may have. Men must treat her like a princess while respecting her as an equal – indeed, as a SUPERIOR being – and above all, they must LIKE it. Any White male who does not meet the above standard is a failure as a man and a wretch who almost certainly harbors secret right-wing, racist, sexist, homophobic, neo-Nazi criminal thoughts. Society must be protected from men like this.
A FINAL SOLUTION TO WHITE MALE DOMINATION. Anyone who voices even the mildest protest or dissent against any of the above is a right-winger, a sexist and a neo-Nazi. These people must be shouted down, intimidated, and silenced by any means available. As a long term solution, appropriate Federal legislation against this kind of hate crime must be enacted by the Co-Presidents and the new, progressive Democratic People's Congress. Anti-social elements who persistently refuse to love all of the diverse peoples in America's gorgeous mosaic must be removed from society and put into camps.

Z - Profile of New General Zod Michael Shannon


When we were young, my sisters and I sometimes managed to get hold of the newspaper before our parents read it. Not that we wanted to read the news; we were more interested in japery than politics, and we needed regular material to exercise our skills.
It would have been boring to take a thick felt-tip pen to draw specs, frown lines and beards on the various politicians in the papers. Much more effective to do it insidiously, deepening and extending facial lines and shadows already present, working in harmony with the pixels of the printing, suggesting an unshaven appearance rather than superimposing full-blown facial hair. Successful distortion is not a crude overdrawing, but a work of art.
When we make observations about others, are we likely to subtly exaggerate an existing weakness or flaw that we think we have perceived? Many people, churchgoers or not, would never dream of telling a straightforward lie about anything or anyone. "Let's be charitable," they may say when discussing someone's faults/accomplishments/finances/life decisions. Does that mean validating the subject's worth and genuinely wishing the best for them, holding full agreement with the value God places upon that person? Or does it mean ostensibly showing a vague positivity whilst gradually deepening lines of reported conversation, softly highlighting character flaws and subtly drawing selective comparisons between one person's life and the life of another?
Godly conversation, of course, does not mean flattering and ingratiating everyone, agreeing with everything, always being 'happy' and never confronting problems. That would be Ned Flanders*, not Jesus. In fact Jesus missed by a mile our accepted standard of inoffensive blandness (Matthew 23; 15:12, Mark 8:33, Luke 19:46).
How do you steer a safe course between airbrushing and uglification? "Speaking the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15), falls trippingly off the tongue but takes real discernment to practise. The "love chapter", I Corinthians 13, introduces love as "a more excellent way" than the whole catalogue of spectacular spiritual gifts. It concludes by listing faith and hope as standing strong together with Christian love—unsurprisingly, because this detailed description of Christian charity depends on belief in salvation despite all human failings and frustrations. It stands upon the basis of God's value for each person, and is in fact in concurrence with God's love for them.
Father in Heaven, you know us fully, and love us; lead us to know you, and to love one another because of you. In Jesus' name.
* Ned Flanders: a chirpily sanctimonious neighbour to the Simpsons in the eponymous TV cartoon series.

Jake Wright back at Sheffield United - Why Bolton reportedly didn't keep him
Tom Seymour
Jake Wright is back at Sheffield United after Bolton Wanderers decided not to extend his loan deal.
Wright had been in decent form for Bolton after joining them on deadline day in the summer. The defender made 12 appearances in all competitions, despite missing the entirety of October with a hamstring injury.
It was thought that manager Keith Hill would try and extend Wright's stay at the University of Bolton Stadium until the end of the season.
Yet Hill has decided against that and according to the Bolton News, that could be because of the 33-year-old's last game for the League One club.
It came at home to Burton Albion on New Year's Day. Bolton were beaten 4-3 in a performance full of defensive issues, with Hill bemoaning "huge errors."
Both Wright and centre-back partner on the day, Josh Earl, have since returned to their parent clubs. Earl plays for Preston North End.
However, the issues at the back are perhaps a little deeper. Hill's side have conceded 19 goals in their last eight matches.
Replacements for Wright and Earl have already been identified. Burnley's Jimmy Dunne is being considered on loan. Meanwhile, David Wheater could return to the club from Oldham Athletic.
What next for Jake Wright after Bolton snub?
(Photo by Andrew Kearns – CameraSport via Getty Images)
It is almost two years since Wright last played for the Blades in a Championship victory over Middlesbrough in April 2018. He did not make a single appearance during their promotion campaign of 2018/19.
Clearly not deemed good enough for the second tier by manager Chris Wilder, that is unlikely to have changed now United are in the Premier League.
It means that Wright will probably need to find another club during the January transfer window if he wants to keep getting game time.

Thirteen years ago we went to our first ferret meeting; there we met Fido, a beautiful 4 year old albino boy. He came from Victoria & was found with two Rottweilers in an abandoned building. Needless to say Fido loved dogs & hated ferrets.
It was love at first sight. That was the start of our love affair with ferrets.
We had 4 beautiful years filled with love & getting our place ferret proofed, every time we plugged something Fido was into something else. For such a little fellow you gave so much love, even when you were sick for the last 2 years you still played & cuddled.
This has been a long time coming but every day since you left us you are still in our hearts & always will be. We miss you baby boy.

I might have found my perfect weeknight dinner. Seriously.
With just a handful of ingredients–mostly pantry staples–I whipped up this linguine with spicy tuna marinara sauce in about thirty minutes. Not only was it simple to make, my kids asked for second helpings. Second helpings of a brand new to them dish. Both kids.
I'll bet you have these items in your pantry: canned solid white albacore canned crushed tomato, and pasta. I like noodle type pastas the most. I think it's an Asian thing. I ate a ton of noodles growing up.
I always keep a few cans of Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna in my pantry. I prefer solid white albacore over chunk light tuna because it's firmer (holds up to cooking) and tastes better. Albacore is an easy way to add a lean protein with healthy fats into your dish. I also learned that Bumble Bee only uses responsibly caught Albacore!
For this recipe, you can use any type of pasta you want. I used whole grain linguine to amp up the nutrients of this dish. The tomato sauce is garlicky with a hint of spiciness. You can definitely add more if Sriracha paste if want more heat.
If you don't have arugula, spinach works well too. Just toss it in at the end and let it wilt with the heat. I love that it's a super quick meal you can throw together on busy weekday. I've already received requests to make it again because my husband loved it too. We had zero leftovers!
I hope you'll try the recipe and give Bumble Bee Albacore a try.
Get dinner on the table in 30 minutes--thanks to pantry staples.
Cook linguine according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. Set aside. Prepare the sauce while the pasta cooks.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium high heat until it shimmers. Add garlic and cook until it turns golden, about 2 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes, chili garlic paste, salt, and 1/2 cup of pasta water. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally as it simmers.
Add all of the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until coated and heated through. Add arugula and tuna. Toss until combined. Remove from heat and toss in basil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

The strange loves of Carol Danvers

Carol Danvers has been popping up everywhere these days. Not only is she the star of her own book, but she's had flashback miniseries and guest appearances all over the Marvel Universe, and with her full-length debut on the horizon, chances are that's not going to change anytime soon. It's easy to see why — Carol is a stubborn, strong, cocky, brave, and sometimes foolish woman who seems to win everybody over via charm, but perhaps more importantly, with her complexity.
That also must be why she's left a trail of broken hearts in her wake. Out of all of the Marvel superheroes, Carol's love life has been one of the most tumultuous, and that's saying something. The very intense tragedy surrounding her romantic interests is extreme, even for a comic book character.
Well, because all of Carol's romances tend to go pretty far off the rails, there's really no great place to start. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride, because our first story is all about Wonder Man. While appearing as the leader of the Mighty Avengers, Carol started an illicit affair with Wonder Man, and… that's about the extent of it. They dated for a little while but while he grew attached and Carol almost immediately lost interest.
Classically unlucky in love and most other things, Wonder Man really does just have a habit of picking emotionally unavailable women, and it can be pretty brutal to watch after a while. He calls Carol things like "the most beautiful woman in New York" while she's thinking about how boring she's starting to find it to date superheroes. To that end, she finds a Standard Handsome Guy to start seeing. That's where she goes super wrong though because of course, it turns out this guy is a Kree and, well, he gets kidnapped by Skrulls and we never see him again. Meanwhile, her relationship with Simon is in ruins, but she shows up for sad sex. Comic books aren't for kids anymore, folks. This story was actually pretty messed up.
Logan is a guy who could and does have his own Strange Loves, and one of them just happens to be Carol. This is a relationship that occurred mostly off-panel, but it comes up in most of their interactions since. While nowadays they would be considered old friends, the level of intimacy they knew in the before times when she was in the Air Force is pretty much a sliding scale for whatever vibe the writer happens to be going for.
These are two of Marvel's characters best known for uncertain and unreliable memories, so that might be why their constant references to the past are still surprisingly vague. Regardless of anything, they do love hanging out and being rude to each other while making esoteric references to random things that happened to them in the past and lowkey alienating everyone else in the room. That sounds like exes to me.
The first person to take on the name Captain Marvel in Marvel Comics was the Kree warrior known as Mar-Vell, who was sent to Earth to spy on humanity and deem whether or not we are a threat to the universe. Even though we definitely are a threat to the universe, Mar-Vell let himself go soft on us and was ultimately put on trial for treason against the Kree. He escaped and was lost in space for a while.
Mar-Vell had met a woman named, you guessed it, Carol Danvers in his days on Earth, and the two of them had fallen in love. Well, more accurately, he had fallen in love, and she thought he was a pretty cool guy. While he was lost in space, she gained the powers of the Kree through a blood transfusion, and did what anyone would do: stole her possibly deceased ex's identity.
When Mar-Vell returned to Earth wondering why there was a lady superhero dressed like him and using a similar name, things got pretty awkward. In typical Carol manner, she gave him a winning smile, they made out, she bounced, and all was forgiven.
Mike Barnett
Oh, Mike. Oh, Mister Barnett. Trigger warning for excessive violence, folks. This one is not going to be pretty.
Mike Barnett was Carol's therapist in the '70s, and they started dating while she was his patient. In fact, we discover that they are on a date when they're in their swimsuits on a beach and Carol says, "Oh, this is a date, not a session." Now, generally, if someone shows up to do their job and you say, "just kidding, this is a date and I'm not paying you," that person will sue you and you will never see them again and that is right and just. Don't surprise people with dates! Ever! Mike Barnett is into it, though, which should, in turn, cost him his license. Look, we don't need to belabor the point, I'm just saying, this whole thing is unethical and you need to throw it out.
This was a really weird time for Carol. The first Ms. Marvel solo series definitely has some satisfying moments in it, but as with most female-led solo books of the late '70s, the emphasis on the sexism of the male characters is agonizing to read. Her love interests were "regular" guys during this time. Carol dated Mike, but then sometimes made out with a reporter from her job, and later ended up going on some dates with another guy that was only around for a couple issues. This was when Carol worked as the editor for Woman Magazine, a job she kind of hated. Understandable, considering the fact that J. Jonah Jameson owned it and spent most of her time on the book just openly yelling at her in front of everyone.
What's that? What happened to Mike, you ask? Ah, yes. Well, while Carol was mostly playing the field and in general not paying that much attention to Mike at all, he was having thought bubbles about how he wanted to marry her. All of that came to an end, however, when the eventual X-Men villain Mystique showed up, and, for incredibly tenuous reasons, graphically murdered Mike over several panels. Then... the series ended.
We saved the best for last! Of all the people Carol has dated, the greatest of them all is absolutely our guy James Rhodes, otherwise known as War Machine. Rhodey is best friends with Tony Stark, so right off the bat you know this guy has the patience of a saint, which is probably why he was such a good match for Carol. He's one who walks the very fine line between being completely there for Carol while never infringing on her freedom, and that is exactly the kind of guy our girl needs in her life. Oh, what's that? She accidentally caused his death during Civil War II and even though he's back now that's really weird and nobody knows where they even stand and love is a lie? Okay, great.
Anyway, at least it was cute for a little while. Even though this was a mostly short-lived and off-panel romance, it was still great. When Carol went to outer space for a year at random, Rhodey refrained from asking her to stay or even fully defining what that would mean for their relationship. When he had the chance to help her from afar, he did. He even wrote her letters. Folks, James Rhodes is a heck of a guy, and he was a great influence on Carol. It didn't really do him any favors in life, but, well, that's love for you.


NOTICE: The application deadline for SCSD School Choice programs (Syracuse Latin, Dual Language Programs, Montessori, K-8 Transfers, High School Choice, High School Transfers) is 3/31/19 @ 11:59 PM.
Complete and submit all required forms and supporting documents.
A representative of the Department of Student Registration will contact you with your child's school placement.
Special education records, such as an IEP.
Finally, the additional forms found in the Registration Packet must be filled out and submitted as well. The packet consists of information that we must collect but that cannot be collected via the online process.
Students entering Pre-K must be residents of the City of Syracuse to enroll. Children must be 3 or 4 years old, on or before December 1, 2019 to enroll in Pre-K.
Students must be 5 years old on or before December 1, 2019 to enroll in Kindergarten. Active Pre-K students do not have to re-register in order to attend Kindergarten.
To register for Kindergarten, please see the Registration Process and Requirements section.
Students who are currently enrolled (active) in a Syracuse City School District- Pre-K or affiliated Pre-Kindergarten program do not have to re-register for Kindergarten. They will "roll up" to Kindergarten and be assigned to their home school (the school zoned for the student's home address), based on seat availability. However, if a student was withdrawn from the Pre-K program during the school year without completion, they must be re-registered in order to attend Kindergarten.
The District is phasing-in Montessori @ Lemoyne and phasing-out Lemoyne Elementary School. Therefore, students who reside in the Lemoyne neighborhood will not be automatically assigned to their home school for Pre-K or Kindergarten. Families who are currently enrolled, as well as families with students who are new to the District, will be given the option to choose a different elementary school within the North quadrant. The Department of Student Registration will correspond with each family to confirm their school of interest. Parents/guardians will be asked to rank their choice, and then given their highest priority based on seat availability.
In addition, the District has phased-out Hughes Elementary School and phased-in Syracuse Latin. Pre-K programming is available at Syracuse Latin for families who reside in the Hughes Neighborhood and request to enroll their children in the Pre-K Program at Syracuse Latin. Please be advised that students who are enrolled in Syracuse Latin for Pre-K will not roll up to Syracuse Latin for Kindergarten. Syracuse Latin is a selective enrollment school and all families are invited to submit an application during the open enrollment period of February 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019. Submission of an application does not guarantee enrollment. Students must participate in the testing and screening process, be deemed eligible to enroll in the school, and then selected in the lottery should there be more students deemed eligible than there are seats available at each grade level.
The Syracuse City School District is proud to offer a wide selection of unique programs for students entering PreK through 9th grade. Parents/guardians seeking the opportunity to enroll their child in one of these programs must complete an online application during the open enrollment period of February 1 – March 31, 2019. Submission of an application does not guarantee enrollment.
Important Note: Per Board policy, students can only receive two transfers during their elementary and middle school years. Students enrolled in high school are only eligible for one transfer during the span of 9th-12th grade.
4.Students Currently Attending Frazer or Westside Academy at Blodgett, or students who live in the West Quadrant and attend CORE, ELMS, or Grant.
Each address in the Syracuse City School District has a zoned school assigned to it, and this is known as the Home School. A transfer may be submitted during the transfer period. This transfer type is applicable when a transfer application is submitted to transfer to the student's home school AND there is a sibling already attending there.
A transfer submitted in order to place the student at the same school that a sibling currently attends. For the purposes of the Transfer Program, a 'sibling' is defined as any school-aged child who is enrolled in the Syracuse City School District and lives in the same household as the transferring student.
Each address in the Syracuse City School District has a zoned school assigned to it, and this is known as the Home School.
The District is divided geographically into four quadrants. A transfer application may be submitted to request enrollment at another school that is in the same quadrant as the student's home school.
The New York State Department of Education has the authority to determine that a school has not made demonstrable improvement over a certain period of time. This decision can lead to a school being identified as a school in "Receivership".
Once a school is in "Receivership", the District is then required to offer students who would attend or are enrolled in the school an opportunity to REQUEST a transfer to a school in good standing.
Families who select this option are given priority in all transfers, and are allowed the opportunity to transfer if there is a seat available in the school of choice. If there are more students who request a transfer to a specific school than we have seats available, the District will conduct a random lottery using the Smartchoice Online Lottery System. If there are no seats available in the school of choice, the student will be placed on the waitlist through the Smartchoice online lottery system.
Please note that seat availability is limited at each school listed below.
