I've mentioned this tons of times before but just never really got around to it. But we're upgrading!!
I'm moving this puppy up to using SMF 2 which should give us a whole bunch of new options and functionality. So not only is it new lipstick, it's a whole new pig.
1- Upgrade to take place this week!
4- Lightweight responsive theme that works on all those pesky mobile devices.
5- a sleep deprived Nolefan.
Seriously though, this is gonna be fine and other than the smiley issue and the lounges that use a special plugin, i don't think we have to worry about anything. The whole baby is backed up in case we need to switch back.
That's great Noles, will it allow us to join Tapatalk or have some other phone friendly version?
looking at doing both.. the new design is responsive so it will adapt to any mobile device. Adding tapatalk will be the next step.
I need to get me some smiley lovin' while it's still possible!
I don't understand modern technology and don't use a mobile phone or any gadgets I see people using . I hope that I will still be able to access the Saloon. Hope all goes well Noles and thank you for the work you do to keep Raoul's Saloon going.
Nolefan - I have dug a bunker in my front lawn and will move there as soon as you give the word.
Xwarrior Can I come too? I still have a gas mask from 2nd Gulf War (with atropine needle) And by the way Noles I don't think you should refer to pigs in such a deprecating manner.
Dear piglet - you are welcome anytime. Maybe these V4 things make a bigger bang than a V2.
I heard that the Chinese plan to blow some smog in our direction so your atropine needle may come in handy. It would be nice if you could bring more than one needle.
PS I agree with you on the subject Noles gave for this post. I thought he was going to announce that it was your birthday.
So folks.. it's on and it's live!!
I'm still tweaking things and getting used to all the new stuff.
There will be a new look coming soon, once i've managed to find some time.
Sorry, had to do that. Looks good so far. Good job Noles!
The thing I used was new posts in threads I posted in and then new posts. I can't find a way to see these which means I will probably miss 90% of the posts I was following.
Missed that, too at first look. They're in the top menu bar (above the title). The avatar icon, third from the left. Both choices in the pull down menu.

The Baltic Germans didn't want to give up their social status and the even the anti-bolshevik Russians considered the Baltics as part of the Russian Empire. » SUPPORT THE CHANNEL Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thegreatwar Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.de/thegreatwar/ Become a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUcyEsEjhPEDf69RRVhRh4A/join » SOURCES Bennett, Geoffrey Martin.

Over the past year, thousands across CAR have been killed and nearly a million have been displaced. The United Nations recently stated that the entire Western half of the country has now been cleansed of Muslims. CAR has never fully recovered from France's colonial rule, and it has only known ten years of a civilian government - from 1993 to 2003 - since achieving independence in 1960. Coup after coup, often with French military involvement, has led many to refer to the country as a phantom state. The current conflict has now completely erased the rule of law and order, and left the UN and international community looking confused and impotent. In March 2013, the Séléka, a mostly Muslim rebel alliance, rose up and overthrew the corrupt government of François Bozizé, while bringing terror and chaos across the country - pillaging, killing and raping with impunity. In response, mostly Christian self-defense forces, called the anti-balaka, formed to defend CAR against Séléka attacks. Clashes grew more frequent throughout 2013 as the Séléka grew more ruthless. In December 2013, French and African troops went in to disarm the Séléka and staunch the bloodshed. The anti-balaka, seizing on a weakened Séléka, then went on the offensive. CAR had no real history of religious violence, and the current conflict is not based on any religious ideology. The fighting, however, turned increasingly sectarian in the fall of 2013, with revenge killings becoming the norm. And as the Séléka's power waned, the anti-balaka fed their need for revenge by brutalizing Muslim civilians. "Too few peacekeepers were deployed too late; the challenge of disarming the Séléka, containing the anti-balaka, and protecting the Muslim minority was underestimated," Human Rights Watch said in a recent statement. The bloodshed has not stopped. The UN is still debating whether or not to send peacekeepers. Even if a peacekeeping operation is approved, it will take six months for troops to be assembled.

The West has used everything from signals intelligence operations, espionage, fighter jet saber-rattling, and diplomatic standoffs to stem the rise of Russian influence around the world. These efforts are coming to a dangerous head in Ukraine — a classic Eastern Bloc proxy state — where the presence of NATO troops is driving tensions to Cold War-era levels. As the armed conflict between the Ukrainian army and Russian-backed separatists enters its third year, VICE travels to the frontline to take a closer look at what international assistance really looks like for those caught in the line of fire.

Octane rating or octane number is a standard measure of the performance of an engine or aviation fuel. The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating (igniting). In broad terms, fuels with a higher octane rating are used in high performance gasoline engines that require higher compression ratios. In contrast, fuels with lower octane numbers (but higher cetane numbers) are ideal for diesel engines, because diesel engines (also referred to as compression-ignition engines) do not compress the fuel but rather compress only air and then inject the fuel into the air heated up by compression. Gasoline engines rely on ignition of air and fuel compressed together as a mixture without ignition, which is then ignited at the end of the compression stroke using spark plugs. Therefore, high compressibility of the fuel matters mainly for gasoline engines. Use of gasoline with lower octane numbers may lead to the problem of engine knocking.

War is a state of armed conflict between societies. It is generally characterized by extreme collective aggression, destruction, and usually high mortality. The set of techniques and actions used to conduct war is known as warfare. An absence of war is usually called "peace". Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant casualties.
While some scholars see war as a universal and ancestral aspect of human nature, others argue that it is only a result of specific socio-cultural or ecological circumstances.
In 2013 war resulted in 31,000 deaths down from 72,000 deaths in 1990. The deadliest war in history, in terms of the cumulative number of deaths since its start, is the Second World War, from 1939 to 1945, with 60–85 million deaths, followed by the Mongol conquests which was greater than 41 million. Proportionally speaking, the most destructive war in modern history is the War of the Triple Alliance, which took the lives of over 60% of Paraguay's population, according to Steven Pinker. In 2003, Richard Smalley identified war as the sixth (of ten) biggest problem facing humanity for the next fifty years. War usually results in significant deterioration of infrastructure and the ecosystem, a decrease in social spending, famine, large-scale emigration from the war zone, and often the mistreatment of prisoners of war or civilians. Another byproduct of some wars is the prevalence of propaganda by some or all parties in the conflict, and increased revenues by weapons manufacturers.

"The Red Badge of Gayness" is episode 45 of Comedy Central's animated series South Park. It originally aired on November 24, 1999.
In the summer of 2013, fans voted "The Red Badge of Gayness" as the best episode of Season 3.
The episode's name is a play on the Red Badge of Courage.
As the entire town of South Park is preparing to hold its annual American Civil War reenactment of the (fictional) Battle of Tamarack Hill, the children rehearse as a Union Army rally band.
In the morning of the reenactment, Jimbo informs the reenactors that over 200 people will come to see them reenact the battle, setting a new record. He also takes the time to remind everyone that the primary sponsor of their event is Jagerminz S'more-flavored Schnapps, "the schnapps with the delightful taste of s'mores." In addition, the special guest will be Stan's grandpa, Marvin Marsh. Meanwhile, Cartman comes dressed as General Robert E. Lee, and the boys are outraged by his dressing as a Confederate officer. Evidently under the impression that the reenactment is a competition of some sort, Cartman bets that the South will win the Civil War, and if it does, Stan and Kyle will be his slaves for a month, or vice versa. Knowing that the outcome is supposed to be historical victory for the North as planned, Stan and Kyle eagerly accept the challenge.

Tuohy is CN Lacrosse Coach of Year
Pat Tuohy is the 2014 Courier News Boys Lacrosse Coach of the Year
Tuohy is CN Lacrosse Coach of Year Pat Tuohy is the 2014 Courier News Boys Lacrosse Coach of the Year Check out this story on mycentraljersey.com: http://mycj.co/1iy1yh8
Andrew Constant, @ConstantMyCJ Published 7:30 p.m. ET June 22, 2014
_ (Photo: _ )
As the season unfolded, the Westfield High School boys lacrosse team continued to chug away and keep focused on the goal that head coach Pat Tuohy laid out.
"Last year we made it to the sectional final and lost to Ridge, so we had that game on the radar all season," Tuohy said. "That's what we wanted to make it to and we had a tough time with our regular season schedule, but we just kept pushing towards the postseason. We wanted the one or two-seed, but we got the three-seed and it just set us up. You couldn't have scripted it any better for us."
Westfield took out defending state champion and second-seeded Ridge in the semifinals and then blasted top-seeded Bridgewater-Raritan for the title in Tuohy's second year at the helm.
He is the Courier News Boys Lacrosse Coach of the Year.
"We wanted to just make sure that every year we're getting better and beating Ridge in the sectional semifinals was huge for us," Tuohy said. "Going in there, playing them at night on their turn, there was no panic in our group. They were calm and knew what too do and there were games when we'd lose badly, but the confidence of my group never wavered. They never thought they would lose and that's what carried us through the postseason."
Westfield would go on to beat Southern 10-6 for the Group IV state title, the school's first state title since 1987.
Tuohy, a Westfield resident that volunteered with the program in between tours of duty in Iraq with the Marine Corps in the early 2000's, before graduating from Roanoke College in 2006. He returned home to work with the JV team and eventually take over the top squad two seasons ago.
He's seen the program grow to new heights under his leadership and Tuohy said she's excited for the future of Westfield lacrosse. With a host of juniors and underclassmen coming back next season, expect the Blue Devils to continue moving up the ranks.

The Beaver Wars in Colonial America
The Beaver Wars were a series of battles that were fought over control of the fur trade in colonial America. During the wars, the Iroquois Confederation took control of the fur trade, eliminated rival Native American Indian tribes, and terrorized French settlements. The French and their Indian allies responded with attacks on Iroquois villages and English settlements. The conflict lasted for nearly a century and ended with the Peace of Montreal in 1701.

Summary of the Beaver Wars in Colonial America
The Beaver Wars were a series of conflicts that took place in the 17th century between Native American Indian tribes, French soldiers, and European settlers. During the wars, the Iroquois Confederation, or Five Nations, expanded its hunting and trapping grounds, and took control of the fur trade from colonial New York into the Ohio Country. By the time peace was finally agreed upon, many tribes had been forced to move out of their traditional lands, or join the Iroquois, and European settlers on the frontier lived in constant fear of attack. The Beaver Wars are also called the Iroquois Wars, or the French and Iroquois Wars.
Beaver Wars — Quick Facts
Some consider the start of the Beaver Wars to be the 1609 fight at Lake Champlain between Samuel de Champlain and his Algonquin allies against the Iroquois.
The Mohawk tribe essentially directed the actions of the Iroquois Confederation.
The first professional soldiers in New France were members of the Carignan-Salières Regiment who were sent to help protect French settlers from the Iroquois.
The Beaver Wars came to an end with the Great Peace of Paris in 1701.
History of the Beaver Wars
The Beaver Wars were fought over control of the fur trade throughout New York, New England, the Ohio Country, and southern Canada. On one side were the tribes of the Iroquois Confederation, who lived in the New York area and traded with the Dutch. On the other side were the Native American Indian tribes that traded with the French, and French colonial forces.

Native American Indian Tribes and Trade with Europeans
At the time, the Iroquois Confederation was made up of the Five Nations, five tribes that were located in the area around the St. Lawrence River basin. Those tribes were the Mohawk, Oneida, Onandaga, Cayuga, and Seneca.
For decades, the Iroquois traded animal pelts to the Dutch and English for many goods, including tools and blankets that simplified their lives. Beaver pelts were important to the trade with the Europeans because they were vital to the production of hats for the wealthy in Europe.
Further west, the French developed strong trading ties with many tribes that were connected because they spoke variations of the Algonquin language, including the Huron.
Iroquois Expand Hunting Grounds
By the late 1620s, beavers were nearly extinct in the Iroquois hunting grounds around the St. Lawrence River, so they looked to expand their territory into areas where beavers were abundant. The Iroquois wanted to have complete control of the trade with all Europeans throughout the region, including the French.
Around 1628, Dutch traders provided the Iroquois with firearms, which gave them a significant advantage over the tribes that traded with the French. With the advantage, the Iroquois decided to expand their territory and take control of the hunting and trapping grounds of the Huron and other tribes.
Over a period of roughly 75 years, the Iroquois waged war on the frontier. They carried out raids on tribes that traded with the French, and on French settlements on the frontier. The French retaliated with a military regiment that attacked Mohawk villages and burned their crops. Eventually, the French gave firearms to their tribal allies, which allowed them to fight back against the Iroquois on more even terms. The French also fortified many of their settlements to help protect against attacks, including Montreal.
Due in part to the influence of Europeans, the Beaver Wars took a drastic toll on the tribes that lived from the Hudson Valley to the Great Lakes through the Ohio Country. Many tribes were forced to flee west, toward the Great Lakes or Great Plains. Some tribes were forced to join the Iroquois and were essentially eliminated.
The Great Peace of Montreal
After the English took New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the English expanded their trade with the Iroquois. However, English settlers also started moving west into Iroquois territory, which concerned them. The French saw an opportunity to establish goodwill with the Iroquois and a peace treaty was agreed to in 1701 between the French and leaders from 39 Indian nations.

Significance of the Beaver Wars
The Beaver Wars were important for several key reasons:
The Iroquois expanded their territory, control of trade, and population.
The Iroquois developed stronger ties with the English.
Many tribes were forced to leave their ancestral territory and move to the Great Plains.
Some tribes were basically eliminated when they were taken captive by the Iroquois.
The Wabanaki Confederation was formed by the Abenaki People and other Algonquian tribes in order to protect themselves from the Iroquois.
Timeline of the Beaver Wars
The Beaver Wars took place over the course of a century after Europeans arrived on the shores of the East Coast of America and the lakes and rivers throughout the Hudson Bay. There were many key moments that shaped the course of the wars and led to the expansion and growth of the Iroquois Confederation.
In 1609, French explorer Samuel de Champlain and Algonquian allies killed three Iroquois chiefs near Lake Champlain.
In 1613, the Dutch and Iroquois agreed to the Two Row Treaty when Dutch traders and settlers moved up the Hudson River into Mohawk territory. It was physically represented by a wampum belt made from purple and white beads. The treaty represents a commitment to friendship, peace between peoples, and living alongside each other "as long as the grass is green, as long as the rivers flow downhill, and as long as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west." The treaty served as the basis for all future Iroquois relationships with Europeans. The principles of the treaty were restated by Iroquois leaders and were extended to Covenant Chain relationships with the French, British, and Americans.
In 1648, the Dutch authorized the sale of firearms to the Iroquois.
From May 2 to 10, 1660, the Battle of Long Sault took place when the Iroquois attacked French militia forces and their Huron and Algonquin allies. The French were under the command of Adam Dollard des Ormeaux. The battle is memorable because Dollard grabbed a keg of gunpowder, lit it, and tried to throw it at the Iroquois. However, when he threw it, it hit the wall of the fort, exploded, and killed many of the defenders at Long Sault. The Iroquois overwhelmed the fort. Dollard is remembered as a hero for sacrificing himself for the cause of New France.
This illustration depicts Dollard preparing to throw the lit keg of gunpowder at the Iroquois during the Battle of Long Sault.
In March 1664, England took control of the New Netherland colony from the Dutch.
In 1665, France sent a regiment of professional soldiers to New France. The regiment was called the Carignan-Salières Regiment and the first troops arrived at Quebec City in June. By September, the entire regiment was in New France and they were under the command of Lieutenant-General Alexandre de Prouville de Tracy. The members of the regiment were the first professional soldiers in Canada.
In 1666, the French conducted two attacks on Iroquois villages in New York. The first was in January 1666 when the French captured a Mohawk chief and took him as a prisoner. The second attack was led by de Prouville in the fall. The French targeted Mohawk villages, which were empty when they arrived. The French burned the villages and the crops and seized the land for New France.
In 1681, the French started to supply firearms to the tribes fighting against the Iroquis. The colony of Pennsylvania was founded the same year, and settlers started to encroach on Iroquois land.
During King William's War, which lasted from 1688 to 1697, the French and their Indian allies conducted raids on English settlements in New York, New Hampshire, and Maine.
In 1691, the Battle of La Prairie took place. Major Pieter Schuyler led a combined force of colonial troops and Iroquois warriors and attacked the settlement of La Prairie. Schuyler was surprised by a French force that had been sent out to block the road to Chambly. The fight was intense, and Schuyler was forced to retreat to Albany.
On October 22, 1692, Marie-Madeleine Jarret de Verchères, a 14-year-old-girl, played a key role in stopping an attack on Fort Verchères. She helped fire cannons and firearms at the Irqouis attackers. In 1701, she was granted a pension by King Louis XIV for her bravery.

Shovels & Rope's Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent play a blend of folk, alternative and Southern rock that is both expressive and stunning.
Harmonizing together at Edmonton Folk Fest's Main Stage, it appeared as if the duo were serenading one another as they exchanged looks and fed off each other's energy. Playing songs heavy with kick drum and snappy snare drum beats, the band gave their audience something to move to.
The muddy and distorted semi-hollow guitar the husband and wife exchanged turns playing was the intense driving force behind the duet's performance. While only sharing the stage with each other, musically, Hearst and Trent were able to generate a complete sound, as if they had an entire band backing them.
With the addition of some slower tempo and compassionate songs, the pair showed all sides of their creative capabilities.

Civil rights activist points out errors in proclamation commemorating Ax Handle Saturday
Department of the Interior says proclamation was compiled from publicly available information
Published: September 7, 2020, 8:56 PM Updated: September 7, 2020, 10:33 PM
A new Federal proclamation commemorates Ax Handle Saturday, the infamous event 60 years ago when black residents were beaten by a racist mob after a sit-in at a downtown lunch counter. But one local activist who survived the attack tells our very own Jenese Harris that the proclamation isn't accurate.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On the 60th commemoration of Ax Handle Saturday, an attack on Black teenagers participating in a 1960 lunch counter sit-in, big names in politics, including U.S. Reps. Al Lawson and John Rutherford, took to social media to honor the day.
The biggest honor was a proclamation from the United States Department of the Interior that commemorates the day Ax Handle Saturday happened.
But according to local civil rights activist Rodney Hurst, the 1960 NAACP Youth Council president who was 16 years old when he and others were attacked on Ax Handle Saturday, the proclamation has multiple errors.
The proclamation states: "... the largest civil rights demonstration in the history of Jacksonville, Florida took place on August 27, 1960, when nearly 3,000 protestors peacefully demonstrated in Hemming Plaza, now James Weldon Johnson Park, as part of a coordinated effort to challenge racial discrimination ... "
But Hurst said there were not thousands of protesters.
"As I look through this proclamation, there were not 3,000 protesters downtown. We were not protesting in Hemming Park. We were protesting, but we were protesting racism by sitting at these visible vestiges of segregation — the white lunch counters," he said.
There were actually 35 sit-in participants — not 3,000 protesters. The attackers totaled approximately 150 to 200.
The second line in the proclamation states Ax Handle Saturday "resulted in the eventual integration of public accommodations citywide."
But Hurst said that's false. A biracial committee was formed despite opposition from then-Mayor Haydon Burns' office.
"The only thing that came out of that (meeting) — and it was a first step — was the integration of the lunch counters downtown — not citywide integration," Hurst said.
In the proclamation is another statement: " ... this sit-in was part of a direct action campaign created by Rutledge Pearson ... "
"No, he did not. Mr. Pearson was our advisor. We (NAACP Youth Council) made the decision to sit in," Hurst explained.
Another statement in the proclamation says "Ku Klux Klan and White Citizens Council members" were responsible for the attack.
"You can't blanketly say that these were just Klan members and these were just White Citizens Council members," Hurst said.
The proclamation also states ax handles were "previously hidden around the park."
"No, they were very public about it, and the police saw them," Hurst said.
And the proclamation states the civil rights movement in Jacksonville began with Ax Handle Saturday. But it actually began in the 1950s.
Hurst said facts are needed for a moment in history that has shaped the local and national civil rights movement for generations to come.
"If a proclamation is going to be issued by the federal government, the least they can do is get their facts straight," Hurst said.
READ: Designation of James Weldon Johnson Park as part of the African American Civil Rights Network
The Department of the Interior told News4Jax: "This proclamation was compiled from publicly available information, including local sources. The designation recognizes the significant role the James Weldon John Park played in the struggle for civil rights."
The Department of the Interior also said the National Park Service provides recommendations for the inclusion of the network and Secretary David Bernhardt is committed to ensuring historical accuracy.
News4Jax reached out to Lawson's and Rutherford's offices but had not received a response from either as of Monday night.

Kaepernick's Afro and the visual shorthand of radicalism
The quarterback's hair and face always made a statement. Now it could be his trademark.

When Colin Kaepernick first began sitting and then later kneeled during the national anthem to protest police violence, the quarterback wore his hair cropped close to his head. As the spotlight on his activism grew, so too did his locks, first into a mass of short curls, then cornrows, then a bigger crown of still-defined curls and, finally, a billowing, uncontrolled, woolly, seemingly semi-sentient mass that doubled as a silent trigger of white fragility.
Those changes mirror the evolution of the art of black radicalism, as documented in a new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power. Tracing art from the 1960s to the present, it weaves a story of resistance and self-love. Kaepernick filed an application to trademark his image recently, and it would have made a perfect coda to this exhibit.
The Nike-endorsed athlete and quarterback without a football team asked the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark a simple black-and-white image that shows how Kaepernick is likely to be remembered in perpetuity: He stares straight ahead, unsmiling, his eyebrows furrowed, with a perfectly shaped Afro filling up the frame as it connects to his beard.
The Kaepernick of the trademark application functions as a defiant embrace of militancy, the sort you would expect of Stokely Carmichael. It is not an image interested in acquiescing to white guilt or discomfort. Kaepernick is not here to make you feel better about racism and fatal police violence. He is demanding to be taken seriously. It is a departure from his in-person demeanor, which is warm and often accompanied by an easy smile. It's the most conclusive evidence thus far to suggest that Kaepernick understands his evolution from man to symbol.
When called out in public, say, at the US Open, Kaepernick raises a single fist, the salute to black power. The image, when accompanied by a raised fist, falls along a continuum of black radicalism — from Carmichael's quest for Black Power to Angela Davis' defiant Marxism to Kathleen Cleaver and Dorothy Pitman Hughes' calls for revolution to Tommie Smith and John Carlos' silent protest at the 1968 Olympics. His Afro is cut and shaped into a retrosphere that frames Kap's head like an irrepressible halo.

Soon after it debuted, the hair inspired gushing headlines: Colin Kaepernick's hair sees me, wrote Kara Brown at Jezebel, while Essence explained Why Colin Kaepernick's Glorious Afro Is Significant. Kaepernick's 'fro is a studious departure from modern permutations, which tend to be more textured and less obviously manicured — think Jordan Carlos, Seaton Smith, Solange or even the illustration of Starr Carter on the book jacket of The Hate U Give. It lacks the wiry, mad-professor quality associated with Cornel West. Rather, it's a throwback to George E. Johnson's Afro Sheen blowout kit, to Anthony R. Romani's clenched fist Afro pik, to blaxploitation, to Black is Beautiful, to Nelson Stevens' Uhuru screenprint of a black woman carrying the freedom of an entire people atop her head.

His jersey may have said San Francisco, but his hair screamed Oakland.
In his quest to draw attention to the injustice of lethal state violence exacted on unarmed black people, Kaepernick has become something of a walking museum exhibition, carrying 70 years of history, politics, resistance and symbolism within a few inches of black keratin emerging from his head. Kaepernick's Afro, and the politics that inspired it, call back to the birthplace of the Black Panthers, just a 30-minute drive across the Bay from San Francisco. The money he's raised for charity has gone toward community building and empowerment and eliminating police brutality. Echoes of the principles of the Black Panthers' Ten-Point Program lurk in the 10-Point System of Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp. Touches like these indicate a fluency in the language and history of black American radicalism. And Kaepernick's particular brand of it has been contagious. He's been able to call on the financial resources and star power of other celebrities, including Joey Bada$$, Serena Williams, Meek Mill, Zendaya Coleman, Jesse Williams, Yara Shahidi, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry to further his causes.
Kaepernick's bended knee, raised fist and picked-out follicles have fomented an explosion of artistic interpretations and, in the wake of a new Nike campaign, copycat memes.

One of the most ubiquitous illustrations of Kap depicts the athlete-activist kneeling, his hair curled atop his head like Elizabeth Catlett's Black Unity sculpture of a black power fist carved out of mahogany.
If there's a downside to widely recognized symbolism, it's that it becomes ripe for co-opting. Loss of control is part of the price of ubiquity, which is how the same song that greets visitors to the Soul of a Nation exhibition, Nina Simone's "Feeling Good," can also double as an anthem for shilling weight loss products. It's how the revolutionary politics of Che Guevara became twisted and diluted the more his image became well-known. Eventually, that single image of a wild-haired, bearded and beret-wearing Guevara became less associated with the overthrow of capitalism and more the province of causeless rebels who could barely articulate who Guevara was or what he stood for — but knew that image looked cool.
Capitalism's funny that way.

Davis is a revolutionary who actually lived long enough to take umbrage with her own iconography's descent into semiotic mishmash. "I am remembered as a hairdo," Davis told a Baltimore crowd in 1994. "It is humiliating because it reduces a politics of liberation to a politics of fashion. … The pertinent history of my legal case is empty of all content so it can be [made into a commodity] for the advertising industry."
Perhaps Kaepernick will be able to avoid such a fate, although history suggests otherwise. His cause has already been willfully misinterpreted and truncated into the deceptively named "anthem protest" despite the fact that Kap was never protesting the national anthem itself (racist though its lyrics may be). And so, via the Patent and Trademark Office, Kaepernick is seeking a measure of self-determination from the same entity that for many years functioned as a tool to deny that very thing to black people: the U.S. government.

There was a moment this year when the CEO at work asked me to recheck some figures because something was off by one, and I replied, "I did the split and I don't really make mistakes like that." Not because I'm cocky but because I am methodical - hence, project management life. By the way, I rechecked figures and I was right because duh. I'm not really someone who makes mistakes at work... or at least, admit to them. My mistakes tend to happen in my personal life. These are my favourite mistakes of 2016:
1/ It's Not A Tumor
The worst and best moment of my year was in April 2016 when Middling Niece had an awful kidney infection and cancer scare. Friggin' doctors scared the living crap out of my Phamly when they warned us some growths visible on scans could be cancer coming back and I bawled my eyes out like I hadn't done in years. This was during a peak period at work as well, so I spent my long days consumed by deadlines, my evenings in hospital playing with my niece to break up her boredom and my nights trying not to cry more before repeating the same cycle next day. It turns out what the doctors thought could be her cancer returning was just a bizarre mucus caused by an infection so bad they hadn't seen anything like it before. My mistake was listening to the experts - Middling Niece is still in remission. That's the last time I listen to doctors!
2/ The Long Ending
I struggled for most of this year with a long distance relationship. It actually felt like work and no fun but I kept it up because I don't like admitting defeat. I'm stubborn like that. It was a big mistake not to end things sooner - we both were finding it hard to keep ourselves and each other happy. The reason it makes my favourites list is because the drawn out ending meant I didn't have the shocked heartbreak of a sudden ending, I had relief like a weight had been lifted. It changed my energy and as soon as I became single, I made some ridiculously fabulous and supportive new friends, and am still meeting interesting and fun new people.
3/ The Unsexiest Tinder Profile
My pics aren't my best but they sum me up pretty well, I think. One dude actually told me I'm cuter on my Instagram than my Tinder profile and I'm not doing myself justice. That's right, I had Tinder profiles mansplained to me. Unmatch - ain't nobody got time for dat.
I also quote my parents in my bio 'cause there is nothing sexier than making guys think about your parents while they're trying to picture you naked to decide whether you're bone-worthy.
Mum: "Ngoc (Jade) was the duck (she means dux) of her school. She could have done anything with her life but she chose music (now fashion) and that's why her hair's like that."
Dad: "Your mind is simple. That's why you're a happy person." Turns over my palm. "See? Look how clear the lines are. You don't think much."
The good part is, I think I filter out all the gross men with my super goofy profile. So far the men who don't care about me as a human being and only want vagina time have been awfully polite and considerate in their offers. While at the same time, the dudes that seem interested in who I am as a person seem genuine.
So, in conclusion, things I've learned from 2016 is never listen to experts, taking forever to end a relationship isn't a bad thing, and being unsexy in the online dating world is good for avoiding mega creeps. Here's to new and better mistakes in 2017!
We don't celebrate Xmas normally in our Phamly because Vietnamese. We usually gift the little ones because their Italian-Australian half is into Xmas and eat our usual Phamly dinner of rice paper rolls or banh xeo (Viet pancakes). This year, their Italian-Australian mother is cooking a lamb leg and all of a sudden we have to learn how to Xmas the Aussie way.
Little Sissy Pham turns to her boyfriend and says, "You're white. How do we do white Christmas?" In his family it's meat, potato and veggies. Sounds easy enough. Then yesterday, Apple made Little Sissy Pham and I a delicious pre-Xmas dinner and showed us how Xmas is done in the real world. Meat, potato bake, mango & avocado salad followed by Xmas treaty desserts. We are stealing her ideas for the Phamly's first white Christmas tonight. We do Xmas on Xmas Eve because Mum Pham and Dad Pham learned how to Christmas in Germany. It's all a mixed bag of multi-cultural references really.
Wishing everyone a nice holiday season whatever you celebrate or don't celebrate. I hope you get a break from reality to reflect on 2016 - the good and the bad, and clear the slate for whatever comes next. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to prep for my second day of eating for 10 hours straight. Love to all.

I renewed my driver's licence recently - I look same, same but different. As Dad Pham likes to remind me, it's a miracle or dumb luck that I ever got my licence because my un-coordination extends into driving. I used to be an anxious, bad driver but I've improved over the years - these days, I'm a confident, bad driver. I don't know which is worse. Kidding - I'm actually half decent at driving; it's the parking and then remembering where I parked that I remain awful at.
A lot has happened in the 5 years since I moved back to Brisbane and got a QLD licence made. I have:
grown out my fringe
switched jobs a lot
failed at online dating
fallen in and out of love
stopped grieving
had my heart broken
According to Little Sissy Pham, I am "older and less angry."
Since reaching my 30s, I've become a lot more zen and comfortable in my own skin. Part of it is accepting myself for who I am - a quirky, imperfect, sometimes dopey, sometimes intelligent, optimistic human being; and part of it is knowing whose opinion matters to me and not caring what the rest of the world thinks. I've also learned you can't please everyone, and if your loved ones love you back, they'll accept and support your decisions - even when you've made a terrible call. Bless the good souls in my life.
I spent too much of my 20s doing things because I felt I should be doing them, not because I wanted to. Prioritising career over family & friends - no more, partying all the time - no more, drinking socially despite my allergy - no more, eating animal despite my guilt - no more. Losing Mum Pham when I was 27 woke me up from that life path. I felt lost in space for a year or so before I found my feet again, much more grounded than before.
There's an easy freedom in being yourself. Life doesn't weigh you down with worries about what you should or shouldn't be/want/do/have. I'm hoping this newfound sense of self will help me navigate the wacky world of dating and relating to other human beings... and I don't end up dating someone else's monogamous boyfriend again.
It's one of life's great jokes that Dad Pham can steer a rickety ship loaded with desperate refugees into open ocean, yet he can't drive a car in Australia. I'd always known my parents were Vietnam War refugees, but I only learned in recent years that Dad Pham was the one sailing the boat out to sea. I mean, he is a retired navy captain - it makes sense now that I know but it never crossed my mind until he volunteered the story. Like with all Dad facts, it was randomly and matter-of-factly dropped into the middle of a conversation about a beach trip.
Last Sunday I asked him if he was scared when he was on the boat. He answered, "No. I accepted my death before I left the shore. That's why so many people stayed behind - they couldn't face death. I knew I'd rather die at sea than live with the Viet Cong." I can't imagine being so desperate that I'd risk death for a small chance at a better life.
Soon after Dad was released from the 're-education camp,' he was approached by people who had a boat but no one to drive it. They promised him money in exchange for his help, but they and Dad knew they couldn't afford to pay him. Being a former prisoner of war, Dad and anyone he associated with would be persecuted if he stayed. He made the tough decision to leave his family and friends behind.
Dad couldn't tell many people he planned to leave because whispers of fleeing could lead to persecution or execution. He did tell the woman he was in love with. She was a secret love not even her brothers knew about. He asked her to come with him but she didn't want to leave her parents behind. They reconnected over email recently and Dad doesn't know how to use email so I was his go-between, which is the only reason I learned about her. She's now a successful chef at a Western hotel in Vietnam.
When the time came to go, Dad snuck a rickety fishing boat filled to the brim with refugees out into the ocean. He knew the busy thoroughfare in open ocean beyond Vietnam's borders where commercial ships traveled and that's where he navigated towards. They risked pirates, drowning, dehydration, starvation along the way; and when they reached their destination they risked abandonment as dozens of ships avoided the refugee boats for political, economical, social, whatever reasons. Dad always says his trip was blessed by God because of the many moments things could have gone bad but didn't. I knew kids in school who weren't so lucky - one witnessed his father's decapitation by pirates so I don't get mad that he went on to hurt me in primary school. Hurt people hurt others - it's a sad life cycle I refuse to perpetuate.
When they reached the thoroughfare, Dad Pham watched dozens of ships ignore their pleas for help. Finally, he made the men on the boat take down the cloth shades that provided some protection from the sun to reveal the people aboard the boat. His idea worked. Showing the passing ships that his boat carried mainly women and children is the reason a German commercial ship stopped to rescue them.
The photo is of Dad in Singapore where the German ship took all the refugees from Dad's boat while they waited to be processed as refugees and flown to Europe. I'll tell you about his journey from Singapore to Germany in the next episode, and how he found faith after witnessing the worst in humanity.
