Television Tv Show Anime Cowboy Bebop OBSERVATIONDECK

Cowboy Bebop turns twenty years old this year. Since its premiere in 1998, its audacity of style, its inventiveness combined with an evident work ethic have remained unique. There are plenty of other great anime series but none have so successfully divested themselves of any established genre, something its creative team did quite intentionally as the original release featured the tagline, “a...

Hearing Elijah Cummings admonish republicans has me bawling! He yelled “We Are Better Than That!” Especially after Corey L. was jizzing his jeans over a ten yr old with downs separated from her mother and brother.

Rep. Cummings is a better man than I’ll ever be a woman around this because I can’t tell you what I wished on Lewandowski other than that tax fraud lawsuit NYAG is bringing against him as the signer of those Trump Foundation checks totally breaks him

Have you seen this Roo? https://www.thedailybeast.com/more-than-600-members-of-jeff-sessions-church-accuse-him-of-child-abuse?ref=home https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/methodists-bring-church-charges-against-jeff-sessions_us_5b28fc2ee4b0a4dc9920b9dd I agree with the tweet at the top. But if these pukes are going to justify their immorality with perverse interpretations of Scripture we need churches to push back. I read the Rep. Lee story earlier. What do you think happens if it’s true? Will Congress finally act or continue to allow this thug to dismantle our democracy? Flawed though it is it’s better than Trumplandia.

This did happen last night I know Reverend Al is on his way to TX Reverend Barber spoke on Joy Reid’s show this past Sunday I am proud that my own minister is one of the signatories to this letter And I’m proud of my state Off the top of my head, since the news is still breaking (sigh) that’s all I have right now.

Hamilton Beach is not nearly that old. Couldn’t find the year but it is plastic. We had one of the glass ones for a long time. I use it to make iced coffee. Chopping ice cubes needs something with a little more horsepower but it works fine. Bitch to clean. Forgot the basil in the fridge and it wilted. Never would have used that much basil anyway. But.

How much volition is involved in the ways people become important to one another? Presumably it varies on a case by case basis, which is one of the things that makes Seijun Seisuki’s 1991 film Yumeji a bit dizzying. A post-modernist nightmare version of a biography of painter and poet Yumeji Takehisa, Suzuki portrays the artist lost in a reality where the relationships between people...

“We were wrong,” the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser editorialized Thursday on the opening of the remembrance of lynching victims, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum. “On the day when people from across the globe come to our capital city to consider the sordid history of slavery and lynching and try to reconcile the horrors of our past, the Montgomery Advertiser recognizes its own shameful place in the history of these dastardly, murderous deeds. “We take responsibility for our proliferation of a false narrative regarding the treatment of African-Americans in those disgraceful days.” Know what’s even sadder about that statement? The Advertiser was thwe only one to admit it’s mistakes. The rest of the state papers (especially the Birmingham News) haven’t done so and probably never will.

Richard Prince 04/29/2018

Thanks, IDM3. I wrote this on Feb. 27, 2006: “The News wrote Sunday: ‘Eighteen years ago, in a centennial edition, The News made this observation about its coverage of the civil rights movement: “The story of The Birmingham News’ coverage of race relations in the 1960s is one marked at times by mistakes and embarrassment but, in its larger outlines, by growing sensitivity and acceptance of change.” ‘ Here is the complete item: Paper Praised for Publishing Rights-Era Photos Phone calls from the news media rang the phone off the hook at theBirmingham (Ala.) News today. They were reacting to the paper’s publication of a special sectionwww.al.com/unseen [link no longer works]of “lost, sold, stolen or stored” photographs from the civil rightsera that some editors initially were lukewarm about making public, reporter Barnett Wright told Journal-isms today.The calls came from around the world, said Wright, who wrote the Sunday storyhttp://www.al.com/unseen/stories/?story.html [link no longer works].“Hundreds of photos from that era were lost, sold, stolen or stored inarchives,” the story said. “Some of those pictures appear today forthe first time in the newspaper, in an eight-page special section titled ‘Unseen. Unforgotten.’“The section is the result of research by Alexander Cohn, a 30-year-oldformer photo intern at The News. In November 2004, Cohn went throughan equipment closet at the newspaper in search of a lens and saw acardboard box full of negatives marked, ‘Keep. Do Not Sell.’”One discovery was a picture from inside the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in 1963, moments after explosives blew the face ofJesus from a stained-glass window and killed four little girls, thestory explained.“I shot a picture of Jesus, and everything was intact except his face;his face was blown out,” photographer Tom Self, 71, recalled in thestory. “It was an eerie feeling to look up there and see the whole frame of the window and just the face was gone.” Other photos showed the Freedom Riders, civil disobedience, and school desegregation and voting rights efforts.The bombing of the church earned the city the nickname “Bombingham.”Cohn, a master’s student at the University of Missouri, toldJournal-isms that the words “Keep. Do Not Sell,” came fromeditors at the time who “didn’t want anything negative aboutBirmingham to get out.”Even for this project, said Wright, a former managing editor of theblack-oriented Philadelphia Tribune, some editors feared publication would make the paper look bad. Publisher Victor Hanson III, however, thought “it would be good for the newspaper and for the community.” After Cohn’s discovery, the photo editor suggested Wright work on the story, he said.“In all, Cohn said, he found 5,000 images from 1950 to 1965 in thecardboard box. He examined 2,000 and estimated that most had not beenpublished,” the story said. Cohn, who is white, amazed Wright with his knowledge of Birmingham andthe civil rights movement. “In high school, I learned a little bit,” Cohn said, and after discovering the negatives, “I started poking around.” Actually, according to the story, “Cohn interviewed dozens of photographers, clergymen, elected officials, civil rights movement participants, historians and other witnesses to the events.”Many of the negatives had no captions or incomplete identification, soCohn began his interviews, with Wright providing backup and fact-checking.The News wrote Sunday: “Eighteen years ago, in a centennial edition,The News made this observation about its coverage of the civil rights movement: ‘The story of The Birmingham News’ coverage of race relations in the 1960s is one marked at times by mistakes and embarrassment but, in its larger outlines, by growing sensitivity and acceptance of change.’” Cohn, who is back in Missouri, returned to Birmingham to work on theNews effort after his internship was over. “I wanted these pictures to see the light of day,” he said. “The best way for me to get a grip on it was to turn it into a master’s project.” He said he wanted the project to run during Black History Month, and during 2006, the 50th anniversary of such civilrights milestones as the culmination of the Montgomery Bus Boycott andthe court battle to admit Autherine Lucy as the first black student at the University of Alabama.“It’s been nothing but positive all the way through,” Cohn said of thecooperation he received. As for his future, “I’m still looking for a job.”

the deadline is only for the 2017-2018 application that awards aid up to the end of june. this one is most helpful for the students that are already enrolled in school now. students can fill out the 2018-2019 application for the aid that will be disbursed after july 1st. this one is for anyone attending school from jul 1 2018- jun 30 2019. the oct 1st application availability will be for those attending school from july 1 2019-june 30 2020.

dtavi44 06/12/2018

The deadline of June 30, 2018 is as you mentioned only for the 2017/2018 award year. There is no reason to complete the 2017/2018 FAFSA if you won’t attend school until fall of 2018. Anyone who starts school after June 30, 2018 will need to complete the 2018/2019 FAFSA (which is also available now).

The best camera is the one you have with you, but with the right bag , that camera can be much better than the one on the back of your smartphone. Since so many people are heading out on vacations over the next few months, we figured it was a good time to ask what we should all use to carry our precious optics.
