Another week, another New England Patriots loss. The team’s third straight defeat did not impact the team’s playoff outlook — it was already eliminated from the tournament last week — but it still was a disappointing one: New England was blown out 38-9 by the Buffalo Bills in a game that was never really close after the first two drives. The Patriots therefore fall to 6-9 on the season, and will finish below .500 for the first time since 2000.
Let’s now take a look back at the contest to see how New England opted to use the talent on its roster, and who played the biggest roles versus the Bills.
Total snaps: 50
G Joe Thuney (50; 100%), OT/G Michael Onwenu (50; 100%), WR Jakobi Meyers (50; 100%), WR Damiere Byrd (50; 100%), TE Devin Asiasi (47; 94%), OT Justin Herron (44; 88%), C David Andrews (41; 82%), QB Cam Newton (33; 66%), G Shaq Mason (30; 60%), WR N’Keal Harry (30; 60%), OT Jermaine Eluemunor (26; 52%), FB Jakob Johnson (19; 38%), RB Sony Michel (19; 38%), QB Jarrett Stidham (17; 34%), RB J.J. Taylor (16; 32%), RB James White (16; 32%), C James Ferentz (9; 18%), TE Dalton Keene (3; 6%)
The Patriots used plenty of different personnel combinations on the offense side of the ball, with two factors contributing to them: not only was the game essentially out of reach at the half, with Buffalo up 24-9 after 30 minutes, New England also suffered some injuries along its offensive line. As a result of this and another minor rotation at left tackle, only Joe Thuney and Michael Onwenu as well as Jakobi Meyers and Damiere Byrd finished with a 100 percent playing time share.
Shaq Mason and David Andrews leaving the game because of foot and calf injuries in the second half created opportunities for other linemen. James Ferentz played nine snaps at center — the second straight week he had to replace Andrews — while Jermaine Eluemunor saw 20 at right tackle after already playing six earlier on the left side; Onwenu moved inside to right guard for his final 20 snaps of the day as Thuney and Justin Herron played all of their respective snaps at left guard and tackle.
Elsewhere, one name stands out: rookie tight end Devin Asiasi appears to be establishing himself as New England’s number one tight end with Ryan Izzo still on injured reserve. While he split snaps with fellow third-round pick Dalton Keene the last two weeks, Asiasi was on the field for all but three of the Patriots’ 50 on Monday night. Keene took the field for the other three, with the duo seeing no playing time alongside each other.
Total snaps: 72
S Adrian Phillips (62; 86%); CB Jonathan Jones (61; 85%), CB J.C. Jackson (59; 82%), CB Jason McCourty (57; 79%), DT Adam Butler (55; 76%), DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (52; 72%), LB John Simon (46; 64%), S Kyle Dugger (43; 60%), S Terrence Brooks (42; 58%), LB Anfernee Jennings (37; 51%), LB Chase Winovich (35; 49%), S Devin McCourty (35; 49%), LB Josh Uche (31; 43%), DT Byron Cowart (30; 42%), DT Nick Thurman (28; 39%), CB Joejuan Williams (27; 38%), LB Terez Hall (24; 33%), DT Akeem Spence (22; 31%), CB Myles Bryant (22; 31%), LB Tashawn Bower (15; 21%), LB Cassh Maluia (8; 11%)
With Stephon Gilmore out for the season after suffering a partially torn quad last week, the Patriots’ top-three at cornerback consisted of Jonathan Jones, J.C. Jackson and Jason McCourty — the three played 61, 59 and 57 of the team’s defensive snaps, respectively. Alongside with safety Adrian Phillips they led the team. One player is suspiciously absent from the top of the playing time list: Devin McCourty had to leave the contest because of a shoulder injury just 35 snaps in.
McCourty was the highest-profile injury but not the only one that changed the Patriots’ defensive personnel. Outside linebackers Josh Uche (leg) and Tashawn Bower (neck) both left the game in the second quarter — leaving the team thinner than desired alongside starter-level options John Simon and Chase Winovich — while off-the-ball linebackers Terez Hall (ankle) and Anfernee Jennings (?) joined them on the sidelines in the second half.
Those injuries in combination with the game script both led to some increased playing time for players who otherwise would see little to no opportunity on defense. Accordingly, players such as Terrence Brooks (42 snaps), Nick Thurman (28), Joejuan Williams (27) and Cassh Maluia (8) all were given regular snaps they would likely not have gotten under ideal circumstances.
Total snaps: 28
CB Justin Bethel (26; 93%), WR Matthew Slater (26; 93%), S Cody Davis (26; 93%), LB Chase Winovich (23; 82%), LB Anfernee Jennings (21; 75%), WR Donte Moncrief (17; 61%), FB Jakob Johnson (16; 57%), S Terrence Brooks (14; 50%), S Kyle Dugger (13; 46%), CB Joejuan Williams (13; 46%), WR Gunner Olszewski (13; 46%), P Jake Bailey 812; 43%), S Adrian Phillips (10; 36%), CB Jonathan Jones (9; 32%), LS Joe Cardona (9; 32%), LB Tashawn Bower (7; 25%), DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (6; 21%), DT Byron Cowart (6; 21%), DT Akeem Spence (6; 21%), LB Cassh Maluia (6; 21%), S Devin McCourty (4; 14%), LB Josh Uche (4; 14%), LB John Simon (3; 11%), CB Myles Bryant (3; 11%), G Joe Thuney (2; 7%), OT/G Michael Onwenu (2; 7%), OT Justin Herron (2; 7%), G Shaq Mason (2; 7%), OT Jermaine Eluemunor (2; 7%), OT Korey Cunningham (2; 7%), K Nick Folk (2; 7%), LB Terez Hall (1; 4%)
The Patriots used 32 different players in the kicking game, with nine of them being used exclusively in the game’s third phase: special teamers Jake Bailey, Joe Cardona and Nick Folk, as well as core coverage players Justin Bethel, Matthew Slater and Cody Davis. Return men Donte Moncrief and Gunner Olszewski also did not see any action in their listed positions of wide receiver, whie Korey Cunningham was not inserted along the offensive line.
As was the case at times earlier during the season as well, linebackers Chase Winovich and Anfernee Jennings again saw a hefty workload — showing that they have value to the team beyond defense, even if they are being used on a rotational at their nominal positions.
Did not play
Given that Jarrett Stidham was inserted into the lineup in the third quarter, and that injuries forced the Patriots to adapt on the fly, the team used every single player on its game-day roster: all 49 men who were active saw the field at one point.
QB Brian Hoyer, RB Damien Harris, LB Ja’Whaun Bentley, C Marcus Martin, LB Shilique Calhoun, DT Lawrence Guy
The Patriots had not ruled any players out heading into Monday — tight end Jordan Thomas was sent from “out” to the Coronavirus reserve list on Saturday — but still ended up with six inactives following a series of practice squad elevations. Among those who were unable to see the field were starting-caliber players on both sides of the ball: Damien Harris (ankle), Lawrence Guy (shoulder) and Ja’Whaun Bentley (shoulder).

To those that know me; it is no surprise that I often sign up for charity fundraising events. You see, I love a challenge; and along with it, some healthy competition. It’s a chance for me to appease my thirst for adventure – all whilst helping others. That’s why I decided to sign up for the HHUGS Boat Race. The fact it was due to be held after Ramadhan was an added bonus. Ramadhan is the perfect opportunity for my family and I to fundraise collectively. I was looking forward to competing against others; whilst making a difference to HHUGS families.
to the current pandemic; I’m now unsure when the boat race will go ahead. I was
deflated; as I was looking forward to another physical challenge, another
chance to have fun whilst fundraising for those in need.
My last fundraising venture for HHUGS was six weeks ago, it gave me that buzz that you only get from helping others.. My family and I walked five miles in the cold, all to help HHUGS families survive winter.
It was a Sunday – our allocated chill day. A chance to spend some quality time with our loved ones. For some, it is a rare opportunity to have a lie in, for others it a perfect excuse for a hearty brunch. Usually on cold wintery days, when we hear the rain pour heavily against our window, we snuggle deeper into our duvets, avoiding the thought of the hectic week ahead.
But, on the 23rd of February 2020, a collective of brave individuals ventured out, sacrificing the comfort of their warm beds, out of their cosy homes and headed to Hyde Park, despite the cold. They donned their warmest winter jackets, determined to make a difference.
Amongst the brave, were my family. Despite the strong winds and the rain at times, our motivation to keep going was the thought of the families that are in need, within the UK, on our doorstep but who are sadly often forgotten.
The work that HHUGS does is not only vital within our community: what they offer to families who are left behind is unique. Within the Muslim community you tend to see a lot of attention and effort is directed towards international causes, however HHUGS is amongst of the few who are a beacon of light for people close to home. Unlike any other, they give relief to those families who are left isolated, shunned from their community through no fault of their own and desperately in need of urgent support.
There was an air of excitement from the very beginning. The push to fundraise and reach our target to walking together, side by side. We strove to the very end to reach our target, because we knew that HHUGS families were depending on us.
Although many families would like to fundraise together, it can be a daunting prospect. Many of the sponsored events are harder for children and the elderly as they usually consist of vigorous activity such as mountain climbs or treks. However, the Winter Walk was very family friendly. People of all ages were able to participate together: children came along with their parents and were excited to be part of the day.
With each step, we were one step closer to providing families with the support they needed to survive Winter. We embraced the cold to ensure that single mothers did not need to choose between heating and eating.
At the end of our five mile walk, we were reminded just how impactful our participation was. I was taken aback as to how a simple family fun day out, on a Sunday Winter morning, fills the heart of HHUGS families with such immense gratitude. What made it all the more worthwhile was when we were told that when a HHUGS beneficiary became aware of our five mile walk, he was stunned; amazed that people who did not know him personally, were walking, sacrificing their time and comfort, to support families like his own. But it was his final words that blew me away:
‘’From now, until my last breath, I will make Du’a, every single day, for every single person who is on that walk, and who is aiding us at this point in time.”
For families like his, we walked. For those, for whom there is no barrier between their supplications and Allah – such a man was now praying for the likes of my family and I! We walked to remind these families that they are not forgotten, that there are people who care. That we are listening to and are aware of the struggle they face every dinner time, the struggle they face every morning when they wake up to a cold house. The struggle they face when they try to make their children’s clothes last a little longer.
Each step we took was precious, cherished by HHUGS families whose lives are changed due to our participation.
Although due to the current crisis, it’s uncertain when I will next be able to take part in physical events to fundraise. I may feel disappointed but Allah always opens doors, whatever our situation. That’s why I’ve now decided to sign up to HHUGS’ Race to Jannah challenge. From the safety of my own home, my family and I can compete; using HHUG’s exclusive new gaming system. I look forward to keeping an eye on my competition via the leader board system and will strive to a winner this Ramadhan.
I may not be
able to exercise my muscles much with this challenge, or lose that Ramadhan
belly, but this challenge allows me to save lives, by protecting lives; I
can stay home and stay safe whilst still making a difference.
My family and I might be finding it a little tough isolating at home, but we can take comfort in the fact that we’re in it together; and that it’s only temporary – for many families, like those HHUGS support, for a community to socially distance from them, to experience intense isolation is nothing new. Unlike my wife and my mother, they don’t always have the luxury of their loved ones being around them. So join me, in changing lives, and be a winner this Ramadhan.
Sign up now for the Race to Jannah!

Time to recap the last week of the Witchual Workout! If you don’t know about it – the Witchual Workout is a daily program designed to get you (and me) up and moving regularly – with a dash of magical inspiration to help build and enhance your daily practice. You don’t have to be a dancer of any kind to participate and I encourage you to listen to your body and modify as needed. Many of these episodes can be done from a seated position as well.
The major theme for last week’s episodes was the magical technique and application of shimmies in a variety of ways. A great workout – and a lot of fun too!
Monday, December 7th – Witchual Workout 96: Body Magic Mechanics – Shimmy!
Tapping into the waning moon energy, we’re going to work on our lower body shimmies. In this episode we focus on the basic structure and technique of what I refer to as a “heel-based shimmy” – it’s a great body movement for shaking things up – both for building and dispelling energy depending on your focus. This one will definitely get your heart pumping and your blood flowing, so listen to your body. It takes some time for your body to get used to this kind of movement, but if you practice at least once a week with this video, you will notice the difference within a month. Do it daily and you’ll get it within 1-2 weeks!
Tuesday, December 8th – Witchual Workout 97: Oracle – Time (What is Time?)
Today is an oracle day and we received “Time” from the RITES group. Time gives us a lot to think about, especially at this part of the year, but the major thing to think about is how it relates to our path and practice. We work with a drum solo to get a sense of pattern, timing, and making choices about how we wish to participate, how much movement we want to make. If you’re not familiar with shimmies, go back one episode and check out #96.
Wednesday, December 9th – Witchual Workout 98: The Great God Pan
It’s Wednesday, so we’re looking to the divine again for our theme. Today’s inspiration is Pan – the goat-footed Greek god of the grove (and groove!). Pan reminds us of the wild within ourselves, the primal and passionate aspects we tend to ignore. Perfect deity to help us work with our shimmies and have some fun with it.
Thursday, December 10th – Witchual Workout 99: Tarot – The Ten of Wands
Today is a Tarot day – and we received the 10 of Wands. Tens mark nearing completion of a cycle, and with wands, we ask ourselves – what have we learned? What plans are we seeing come to fruition? What is our part in that? Are we using the knowledge gained over time, or are we still rushing ahead? We know that our goals are just over the horizon – do we have the patience and grace to get us there?
Friday, December 11th – Witchual Workout 100: Shimmy + Focus
Today is the 100th episode of the Witchual Workout – that’s amazing! Thank you so much to everyone who has been watching and supporting these videos along the way! This episode is about considering how the shimmy can be used to raise and build energy, or to break it down and disperse it.
I’ve made a handy playlist of all of the Witchual Workout episodes – you can access it here. You can absolutely jump around to different episodes or themes, or levels of difficulty. Some episodes are designed just for sitting or focus on a single part of the body, so you can do what you are able or feeling engaged to do so.

Huntley's Chad West, 18, has been racing dirt bikes since he was 5, and now he gets to do it locally.
Woodstock KTM and Harley Davidson began sponsoring Friday night motocross (dirtbike racing) last year at the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock.
After the Lake Geneva Raceway closed in 2006, Woodstock was the perfect alternative, West said.
“I was surprised, but I was also super pumped at the time,” West said of getting to race in Woodstock. “After Lake Geneva closed, everyone was looking for a Friday night track to go racing.”
“All your friends are out at the races, and it’s where you go hang out on the weekends.”
Doug Jackson, one of the owners of Woodstock KTM and Harley, said it was both a business and a personal decision to start racing in Woodstock.
“I grew up racing dirt bikes. I feel like the area needed a dirt bike track to allow kids to ride and race,” Jackson said. “When a child gets on a motorcycle early on, it captures them for a lifetime.”
West concurs with getting hooked on motorcycles early.
“I always wanted to ride,” West said. “It’s what we did as a family. It was our thing.”
Jackson said the fairgrounds board was receptive when he approached them about having dirtbike racing in the stadium.
“It helped them out quite a bit. It provides them a nice income opportunity,” Jackson said of the fairgrounds. “I think its good all the way around.”
The racing is not limited to youngsters and attracts a wide range of riders and fans to the Woodstock venue.
“We’re just trying to kickstart dirt biking in this area,” Jackson said. “It’s a spectator event as much as anything.”
With a couple of hundred racers coming out to race Friday nights, it looks like the kickstart is working. Jackson said they have racers as young as 5 and have about 15 classes of racing, including vintage bikes.
“We have classes for even first-time racers,” Jackson said. “They need more places to ride in our area.”
Even for those who don’t ride, Jackson said the racing presents a nice, local family outing.
“I think it gives a family an opportunity to have a nice cool evening, like watching a Friday night under the lights football game,” Jackson said.
While the initial attraction to racing in Woodstock for West was its location, he said the venue has exceeded his expectations as a longtime racer.
“It’s been really good. There’s high competition through every class,” West said. “It’s all centered around having fun on dirt bikes.”

Gordon Gekko turns his back on greed for the FBI
Tim Walker is The Independent’s Los Angeles correspondent, covering entertainment and other concerns from the West Coast of the US. He was previously a features writer and the editor of the paper’s diary column. His first novel, Completion, is being published in January 2014.
Wednesday 29 February 2012
The FBI has enlisted an unlikely ally in its fight against insider trading and securities fraud: Gordon Gekko, the villainous executive from 1987 movie Wall Street, who told an audience of potential investors: "Greed, for want of a better word, is good."
Now, Michael Douglas, who won an Oscar for the role, is appearing in a TV commercial supporting the bureau's crackdown on financial crime in New York. This presents the tantalising thought of other movie villains repenting their sins for a suitable cause. Might Alan Rickman – aka the Sheriff of Nottingham – be persuaded to campaign on behalf of the #Occupy movement? Or could Colonel Nathan Jessup of A Few Good Men – as played by Jack Nicholson – join Lady Gaga to oppose Republican calls for restoration of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays in the US military? "Santorum, you can't handle the truth!"

Among the advice indelibly ingrained in me from working at a newspaper for many years:
- Don’t use more than five sentences in a paragraph.
- Don’t worry about “flow;” you’ll build your own meaning.
- Don’t open with a question.
- Don’t open with a list.
Opening with one strong image invites the reader into the dark house of story by switching on a light in the entryway; opening with a list is more like assaulting the hapless guest with multiple floodlights. Instead of gaining the orientation he seeks, the reader is overwhelmed with images you’ve given him no context for sorting.
Some authors use lists to great advantage, however—and later, you’ll see some right in the novel’s opening. Let’s look at some examples.
Elizabeth Joy Arnold’s Promise the Moon explores a family’s healing after the young father’s post-Gulf War suicide. After a one-page introduction from the man’s wife, Arnold switches to the perspective of the young daughter, Anna. The list is found as this POV opens:
My dad was a hero soldier. I looked up hero in my dictionary, and this is what it said:
1) A person who is admired for great courage, noble character, and good deeds.
2) A sandwich, usually made with crusty bread, a.k.a. submarine, hoagie.
3) An illustrious warrior.
My dad was the number one and number three kinds of hero both. A double hero.
Seeking a dictionary definition not only shows Anna’s innocence as she tries to sort through a monumentally complex subject, it reveals her story goal: she wants to know her father. Other lists this character offers throughout the story, such as the top three awkward things people said to her after her father’s death, show that this is how she processes the chaos in her life. The humor promises that this book will encompass the full range of human emotions.
In my novel The Far End of Happy, an accumulation of lists suggests the burden my protagonist suffers while dealing with her husband’s downhill slide toward suicide. These include a fix-it list for the aging farm, a bulleted list of emotions she off-loads into her journal, mental health resources of which her husband would never take advantage, a list of creditors and amounts owed, and a list of reporters wanting to talk to her during the standoff.
Opening with a list
In a bold move, Colum McCann opens his novelization of dancer Rudolph Nureyev’s life, Dancer, with a list that is one-and-a-half pages long. I can almost hear my newspaper editor saying, “If you’re going to break a rule, break it big.” Here are a few of my favorites. [Read more…]

Concert to bring Disney magic to Aberdeen on Sunday
Concert to feature classics from 'Frozen,' 'Lion King
The Civic Theatre just might be the happiest place in Aberdeen on Sunday.
“Disney in Concert: Magical Music of the Movies,” put on by the Aberdeen University/Civic Symphony, is sure to appeal to all ages. The performance will include a highly orchestrated combination of animated classics, theatrical vocalists and musicians. The single, 90-minute performance will be 7 p.m. Sunday at the Aberdeen Civic Theatre, 225 Second Ave. S.E.
A.J. Robb, with Disney in Concert, has been working with the cast as the local producer. Robb has been working with Disney in various capacities since 2004. He was on hand for several days to assist as a music director, vocal coach and rehearsal pianist for the cast and the symphony.
“I will be working with the cast for 15 hours total for several days. We will talk about the evolution of the songs and how we format them with a larger orchestra. It will be fun to get down to the granular level,” Robb said. “They are going to love working with it, it's great material. I've done this show a lot and it never gets old.”
"A.J. is very experienced as a professional vocal coach and musical director," symphony director Robert Vodnoy said. "A.J. will spend a full week in Aberdeen, coaching the vocalists and attending (symphony) rehearsals."
The single performance is a multimedia spectacle of nearly 75 years worth of Disney classics. The cast and musicians are very excited, albeit a little nervous, to present such well-known works to a live audience.
“It’s kind of nerve-wracking to know that at least half the audience will know the songs so, don’t mess up!” said Nathan Wilson, a Northern State University student and cast member. "It really makes that one night really special. No re-do's, opening night is closing night."
“This is challenging music and stylistically different from the classical music they are used to performing. They just need to respect the material as they would any other well-known artist,” Robb explained.
To complicate matters, the timing will be crucial for the symphony since there will be three screens showing clips of Disney films with which they will need to synchronize.
“It’s a lot of pressure to have the video, so we need to stay on tempo with the movies,” NSU symphony member Sara Kjetland said.
“The tempo has to be perfect,” agreed musician Leandro Fernandez Moutin.
It took a little convincing for Vodnoy to get the very pricey show here and be able to use his hand-picked, local cast. Disney also has some requirements of the symphony to be able to perform their pieces.
"It was difficult and unusual to get this show here. Typically, this show is performed by singers from the company which created it — Symphony Pops. I think that because I worked with them to produce the show in Indiana in the summer of 2014, I was able to persuade them that we would be able to deliver a high quality performance," Vodnoy said. "There are a lot of extraordinary expenses which include not only the rights and royalties to this music and videos, but also the production costs."
Disney has a precise set of guidelines to follow.
"We can only license the show out to the orchestra that has the right number of instruments, flutes, violins, trumpets, like that," Robb said.
The logistics of getting approximately 60 people, equipment and three animation screens on one stage has been a feat in itself.
Scott Pauer of Pauer Sound and Music will be taking care of sound and video. Tina Hanagan of the NSU scene shop is handling the lights and calling the show. Dan Yurgaitis, NSU theater director, will be tasked with fitting the spectacle onto the Civic Theatre stage.
"We are fortunate to have some really talented people here in Aberdeen to ‘make the magic happen,’" Vodnoy said of the support crew.
The cast does some of its own prep work to get themselves in tip-top shape for the high-energy show.
"No partying. If you drink too much water you get dried out, not enough, you get dried out. No milk before rehearsals," Wilson said.
"Lots of tea," cast member Emily Davis said.
The popular music is different from what the symphony and cast members are used to performing. Some of the members have done research via YouTube and Vimeo videos to hone their skills.
"It makes it a bit easier because they are contemporary songs. Range-wise, it's probably the widest range of notes I've ever sang," Wilson said.
"My range isn't tested too much, but the music is still difficult," Natalie Allcock, NSU student and cast member, said.
Mary Marion, a retired music teacher of 28 years and the rehearsal accompanist, is a big Disney fan and looks forward to playing her part in the performance and getting some one-on-one training with Robb.
“I’m as big a nerd as anyone is for Disney. I will be doing the piano part with the orchestra, so that’s really exciting for me,” Marion said.
“It’s cool to be able to sing the stuff you grew up with, the stuff you sang as a kid and getting to perform it know,” said Eli Corbett, NSU student and cast member. "It's aimed towards the kids, hopefully they will be singing along."
"(The songs) belong to my childhood. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is my favorite. We did them when I was in orchestra in Finland, so they are familiar," Iiris Sakkinen, NSU symphony member, said.
The performers hope Aberdeen will come check out what should be a generation-spanning spectacle of princesses, pirates, lions and beasts.

Above my writing desk I have a small shelf where I keep only the most inspiring and influential books I’ve read. When I find myself stuck, I’ll often take them down, open to a random page, and reread passages to be reminded of what mastery of the written word looks like. Here are the five ‘old faithfuls’ I invariably find myself cracking open.
It should be said that McCarthy sometimes isn’t the easiest author to read. He’s an immeasurable talent who plays by his own rules of writing, breaking countless others as he does his thing. But ‘The Road’ is arguably his most accessible work, and a hell of a piece of speculative fiction. The prose is minimal and frighteningly effective, weaving a bleak world with the all right words and perfect pacing. It’s so sparse and fluid; yet holds surprising warmth in a world created out of coldness and indifference. It’s mastery more easily digestible than some of his prior works.
If there’s one author I think is the perfect blend of literary and commercial, it’s Lehane. An insanely good storyteller, D.L. writes with real depth and goes quite dark, but the end product is smooth and authoritative. They’re the kind of works that make for terrific movies too (Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River, Shutter Island, The Drop). ‘Coronado’ is a short story collection that proves to be a crash course in the art form done right. Lehane makes writing look too damn easy, and I know from experience how unbelievably hard it is to pull that off. For such a small book, I got an awful lot out of it. Big ideas unfolding in small worlds are what you’ll find in Coronado.
This was the book that showed me how far you could stretch your prose and still have it sound dynamite. A drug-addled mix of loosely interconnected stories, reading it is like navigating through a string of dreams, both blissful and bad. The spectrum of themes is considerably wide. Everything from love and loss to happiness and sheer horror is covered. One moment the writing is slick as oil, the next it is jagged as broken glass. It’s downright chaotic in places where the mental states of the storytellers are in question. You know the main characters in this book are all unreliable narrators, but you still believe every word they say, because the stories Johnson tells are just that convincing.
Admittedly, short story collections are featuring prominently in this piece. They often prove to be great vehicles for authors to demonstrate their proficiency in an array of subjects and styles. As well as a master of short stories, Raymond Carver was a master of minimalism with rarely a word wasted. He’s an author whose works should be read by everyone. In all honesty, I didn’t even enjoy some of the stories in this collection, but that doesn’t diminish the skill and craftsmanship contained in each and every one. His ability to floor me with one flawlessly written and perfectly placed sentence still astounds me to this day.
Of all Mr. King’s books, this is the one I praise the most. Part biography, part ‘How-to’ manual, this is a must-read for anyone and everyone. There’s so much for aspiring writers to absorb in these pages. Trials and tribulations, successes and failures, riding on cloud nine and hitting rock bottom; it’s all here. The insights provided while reading about SK’s long and lucrative career are honest and invaluable. While it might not improve your actual writing, per se, it will certainly help with your mentality on the subject. When I finally put this book down, I found myself inspired and newly determined. When people ask me about the most inspiring books I’ve read, I always cite ‘On Writing’ as the book that really lit a fire under my ass to pursue writing as a career.

First induction a success
Published 11:33 am Wednesday, October 31, 2018
Fond memories of exciting success took center stage at the inaugural Randolph-Henry Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony Saturday, Oct. 20, at Central Middle School with about 225 people in attendance.
Randolph-Henry Director of Athletics and Assistant Principal Christopher Holt noted being pleased with how the event proceeded, and he was not the only one to feel this way.
“The feedback that I’ve gotten from everybody has just been ultra-positive,” he said.
Holt said the inaugural induction class was particularly large by design, while future annual classes will feature no more than six individuals.
The 2018 class included Richard Bankston, Burl Clements, Larry Dunn, Mary Dunlap, William Elliott, George Gaines, Eugene Gryder, Michael Haskins, Deborah Laine, Stacey Lee, Herbert Moss, Kelly Powell, Freddie Stovall, Monique Williams and Barbara Wilmoth. Most of them are pictured on A5 in a group photo taken after the ceremony.
Three state championship teams were also inducted and had representatives at the ceremony. These teams included the 2002 and 2005 varsity baseball squads and the 2005 varsity golf squad.
Holt said it was an approximately two-year process to bring the hall of fame and the inaugural induction from idea to reality.
“I was truly blessed to have a lot of help from a lot of people, including our inductees, our coaches of those teams, family members providing photographs, a beautiful, incredible meal provided by Longwood University,” Holt said.
He credited Alyson Oseguera for managing all of the pictures as they came in and for putting PowerPoint presentations together. He also highlighted Rhonda Benn for her decorating touch that helped create the right ambiance.
Individual donors, the county’s school board and its board of supervisors drew praise for their contributions.
“It was a true team effort to make something like that happen,” Holt said. “It was a really neat weekend for everybody involved, starting Friday night and continuing on through Saturday.”
Inductees were introduced at the Friday, Oct. 19, varsity football game, fed a meal and given the opportunity to reconnect.

What is Nucynta ER?Nucynta ER is a narcotic pain medicine that contains tapentadol. Nucynta ER is used to treat moderate to severe pain when a continuous, around-the-clock narcotic painkiller is needed for an extended period of time.
Nucynta ER is a federally controlled substance because it has abuse potential.
What is the most important information I should know about Nucynta ER?Nucynta ER has abuse potential. Mental and physical dependence can occur with the use of Nucynta ER when it is used improperly for long periods of time.
Nucynta ER can cause serious breathing problems that can become life-threatening, especially when it is used in the wrong way for long periods of time. Tell your doctor if you have any lung or breathing problems (such as asthma); your doctor will monitor you.
Do not use Nucynta ER for short-term pain relief from injuries, surgery, or pain that you only have once in a while ("as needed").
Swallow Nucynta ER tablets whole. Do not break, split, chew, dissolve, or crush the tablets before swallowing. Do not inject the contents; if you do, Nucynta ER can be released too fast. This can cause you to have trouble breathing and lead to death. Tell your doctor if you cannot swallow tablets whole.
Nucynta ER can impair your mental and physical abilities. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how Nucynta ER affects you. Also, do not drink alcohol or take other medications that can affect your brain (such as medications that make you drowsy and narcotic painkillers) while using Nucynta ER.
Prevent theft, misuse, or abuse by keeping Nucynta ER in a safe place to protect it from being stolen. Nucynta ER can be a target for people who misuse or abuse prescription medicines or street drugs. Also, do not give Nucynta ER to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms you have because it can harm them or even cause death. Selling or giving away this medicine is against the law.
Who should not take Nucynta ER?Do not take Nucynta ER if you are allergic to it, any of its ingredients, or if you are having an asthma attack, have severe asthma, trouble breathing, or lung problems.
Do not take Nucynta ER if you have paralytic ileus (impairment of the small intestines).
Do not take Nucynta ER within 14 days of taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), a class of drugs used to treat depression and other psychiatric conditions (such as phenelzine).
What should I tell my doctor before I take the first dose of Nucynta ER?Tell your doctor about all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal medications you are taking before beginning treatment with Nucynta ER. Also, talk to you doctor about your complete medical history, especially if you have breathing or lung problems; brain problems or head injury; paralytic ileus; liver or kidney problems; adrenal gland problems; thyroid problems; seizures; pancreas or gallbladder problems; urination or prostate problems; constipation; severe scoliosis (curving of the spine) that affects your breathing; low blood pressure; alcoholism; mental problems, such as depression, anxiety, or hallucinations; history of or a present drug abuse or addiction problem; a family history of drug abuse or addiction problem; plan to have surgery; or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is the usual dosage?The information below is based on the dosage guidelines your doctor uses. Depending on your condition and medical history, your doctor may prescribe a different regimen. Do not change the dosage or stop taking your medication without your doctor's approval.
Adults ≥18 years: The recommended starting dose is 50 milligrams (mg) twice a day, given approximately every 12 hours. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dose for you based on your condition, previous pain medication, and tolerance for narcotic painkillers.
How should I take Nucynta ER?Take Nucynta ER exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change your dose without speaking to your doctor.
Swallow Nucynta ER tablets whole. Do not break, split, chew, dissolve, or crush the tablets before swallowing. Do not inject the contents. Also, do not pre-soak, lick, or wet the tablet before placing it in your mouth.
Do not discontinue Nucynta ER abruptly. Your doctor should provide you with a dose schedule to gradually discontinue the medication. This will help to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
Dispose all unused tablets by flushing them down the toilet.
What should I avoid while taking Nucynta ER?Do not drink alcohol while you are taking Nucynta ER. Alcohol can increase your chance of having dangerous side effects.
Do not drive, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how Nucynta ER affects you.
What are possible food and drug interactions associated with Nucynta ER?If Nucynta ER is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Nucynta ER with the following: alcohol, antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine), central nervous system (CNS) depressants (such as alprazolam, diazepam, or phenobarbital), certain antidepressants (such as fluoxetine, amitriptyline, mirtazapine, or trazodone), certain antipsychotic medications (such as haloperidol, olanzapine, or chlorpromazine), certain painkillers (such as buprenorphine, butorphanol, nalbuphine, or pentazocine), droperidol, other narcotic painkillers (such as oxycodone or tramadol), or MAOIs.
What are the possible side effects of Nucynta ER?Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking this drug.
Side effects may include: breathing problems, confusion, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, faintness, headache, low blood pressure, nausea, seizures, sleepiness
Can I receive Nucynta ER if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?The effects of Nucynta ER during pregnancy are unknown. Nucynta ER can harm your newborn baby if you use it during breastfeeding. Do not take Nucynta ER while you are breastfeeding. Tell your doctor immediately if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Nucynta ER?If you miss a dose of Nucynta ER, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and return to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at once.
How should I store Nucynta ER?Store at room temperature. Protect from light.

E15 SECURES FINAL REGULATORY VICTORY
Last week, E15 received its final regulatory approval and is now approved for sale. The Environmental Protection Agency approved a plan submitted by the ethanol industry to address residual E15 left in the hose after fueling. There was a concern by US EPA that consumers could get a higher blend of ethanol than what they wished because of the residual fuel.
In Illinois, the Illinois Renewable Fuels Association and Illinois Corn continue to work on state legislation to provide incentives for the sale of higher blends of ethanol. In fact, our proposed changes would adjust the state legislation to provide an incentive for the sale of the highest blend allowable by the US EPA.
In other states, different obstacles exist preventing the widespread adoption of the higher blend. Additionally, opposition by some members of Congress could prevent consumers from having the choice to fuel up using more renewable fuel.
“This announcement is one more victory on the way to the finish line,” said Jeff Scates, Shawneetown, IL family farmer and Illinois Corn Growers Association President. “The finish line is decreased dependence on foreign oil, more environmentally friendly fuels, and cost-savings for U.S. consumers. The public has the right to choose all of these things when they choose to fill up with E15 and I look forward to the day when that choice is offered to them in the marketplace.”
“The ethanol industry is grateful for the support from the White House and the numerous agencies involved in bringing this fuel to the marketplace. Clearly this administration understands that ethanol plays a significant role in reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” statement issued by the Renewable Fuels Association and Growth Energy.
“At USDA, we applaud today’s action by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that essentially completes the federal actions necessary to allow consumers to buy fuel containing up to 15 percent ethanol (E15). This announcement gets us one step closer to giving American consumers a real choice at the pump. It also supports the “all-of-the-above” energy strategy, including production of renewable biofuels, implemented by the Obama Administration to help wean us off of imported oil,” statement issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

- Story Text:Polls opened in Georgia on Saturday (October 8) in a parliamentary election seen as a test of the stability of the ex-Soviet state criss-crossed by strategically important oil and gas pipelines and traditionally buffeted between Russia and the West.
A fifth of Georgian territory remains under the control of pro-Russian separatists following a short war with Russia in 2008 and the economy is emerging from a deep slowdown that has eroded living standards.
Polls suggest the ruling Georgian Dream party, funded by the country's richest man, billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, who made his fortune in Russia, is likely to win. But they also show strong support for the opposition United National Movement (UNM) and that many voters are undecided.
Georgian Dream came to power in 2012, ending the nine-year rule of former President Mikheil Saakashvili's UNM.
Asked what were her expectations from the poll, Tbilisi resident Maka said: "From the election I expect changes, (political) course towards Europe, democracy, changes."
Both the government and the opposition would like to see Georgia join the European Union and NATO, but such a move would be strongly resisted by Moscow. Georgian Dream also favours stronger ties with Russia.
"I voted for Georgia's European future, for welfare, education and for healthcare for every citizen of our country," said Prime Minister Georgy Kvirikashvili, the head of the ruling Georgian Dream party, after casting his ballot.
The head of the opposition United National Movement party, David Bakradze, said the people of Georgia were sick of "instability...confrontation, polarisation and the backslide" which were the result of his political opponent's four-year-rule and expressed hope that election would help turn Georgia "into a developed European democracy."
The pre-election atmosphere in the nation of 3.7 million, a U.S. ally, was marred by a car bomb that targeted an opposition deputy in Tbilisi. Givi Targamadze survived, but five passers-by were injured.
In a separate attack, two men were shot and wounded last Sunday (October 1) at a speech by Irakly Okruashvili, an independent candidate, in the town of Gori.
Under Georgian Dream, dozens of ex-officials have been arrested on charges such as abuse of power, and some Western countries have accused the government of selectively applying justice.
Saakashvili, now a regional politician in Ukraine, is wanted at home on a string of charges, including corruption. He says the charges are politically motivated.
Many Georgians accuse the government of mishandling the economy, which has been hit by a decline in exports and remittances despite expanding by 2.7 percent in the first eight months of this year.

This PC-program has been developed through many years of research and experience carried out in spinning mills. Spinning Geometry and bobbin dimensions have been designed to help spinners and winders to improve productivity in spinning and winding departments.
Spun yarn weight of spinning cops effects efficiency of ring frames and winding machinery. Hence, this makes necessary for checking of package weight very carefully and obtain optimum values for spinning and winding. Amount of yarn spun onto ring tubes depends upon the following factors:
These two factors determine the yarn weight but they are also influenced by
Therefore, for optimum results all these above parameters should be checked and regulated. Hence ,setting and controlling all these parameters without a PC-program requires a lot of time consuming calculations and computations.
Spinning efficiency is closely related to number of doffs per shift As the package weight increases number of doffs per shift decreases and efficiency increases . This necessitates the optimum shaping of spinning bobbins The other important point is to increase efficiency in high speed winding . The quality and formation of spinning cops have an enormous effect upon the efficiency on winding and work load. Especially unattended spinning cops due to end breaks causes lower efficiency in winding.
Optimum package weight is determined by volume and packing density . This PC-program computes packing density in three volumes considering the conicity of tube i.e. bottom, straight and top sections.
Since yarn package is weighed so yarn packing density is computed . The other important point is the number of coils per ring rail stroke which determines the coiling distance. Coil spacing depends upon the yarn diameter and should be 7 to 8 times of yarn diameter. Since yarn diameter is computed for a given type of raw material and yarn count hence optimum regulation of coil spacing is achieved.
Unwinding tension is greatly influenced by the spinning bobbin shapes. In order to achieve high speeds in winding following measures should be taken in ring frames:
Therefore, setting of spinning technical data parameters effect determines the quality and productivity of winding department.
This PC-program also includes spinning geometry technical data parameters . End break rate is influenced by the spinning yarn tension during spinning. Yarn tension is influenced by
In modern ring frames yarn tension is regulated by regulating the spindle speed. To increase spindle speed spinning geometry and balloon shape should be checked with stroboscope. This procedure will identify the off-standard running spindles. Hence, this PC-program predicts running yarn tension according to given technical data so that excessive spinning tension could be avoided. It is clear that increasing spindle speed could be achieved with this SPINNING GEOMETRY PC-PROGRAM.
Approximately 60% of end breaks in ring spinning frames breaks occurs from front role to ring . The causes of end breaks are not all the time related to yarn strength and evenness . Not proper spinning cops formation also may lead to high end break rate due to air-drag forces ,spinning balloon and eccentricity between spindle and ring . Therefore, spinning cops formation is not simply a winding onto tube and also has an effect upon yarn hairiness .
We carry out this PC-program as a part of increasing production improvement in ring spinning research and development project . If you are interested in this project please get in touch with us.

-Illium. comes in 3 isotopes: stable, mildly radioactive(half-time of thousands of years), and heavily radioactive(half-life of hours to days) liquid, relatively low melting and boiling point. the stable form releases the least energy. higher abundance than Naquahdah, releases less energy.
-Xerium. comes in just 1 stable isotope. higher atomic number than Illium. non-radioactive, non-fissionable, extraordinarily chemically reactive. on the Periodic table, it would be under Lithium, sodium, and francium etc.
Xerium salts are numerous and have wildly varying material qualities. solid at room temperature.
-Valarium. noble gas. radioactive, half-life varies wildly between isotopes. the most stable has a half-life of many millions of years. fissionable, highest energy density of all. there are no Valarium salts, the material is difficult to work with. hard to find.
-Naquahdah. i believe it should have a lower energy density.
-Naquahdriah. element of it's own, radioactive, unstable, but higher energy density than Valarium, which in turn has a highe energy density than Naquahdah.
-Trinium. stable, non-radioactive, non-fissionable material with extremely high strenght and incredible material properties. the same Exotic Particle Field that keeps these superatoms from degrading (the same exotic particles that Naquahdriah releases on fission) massively increases the Material Properties of Trinium
-Neutronium. highest atomic number of all. ultra-hard to find. incredible material properties. it's incredibility is only matched by it's rarity and impossibility to be processed. only advanced races with extensive knowledge of this stuff can actually use it for construction.
uses: (radioactive) Illium takes over the use of Liquid Naquadhah, as the material in itself never made a whole lot of sense to me.
power density and material incredibility are inversely related to their abundance: the more incredible, the less abundant. the higher the powerdensity, the lower the abundance. Naquahdriah holds the lowest abundance among the Power dense, Neutronium among the Material Incredible.
Naquahdriah should be the rarest: it's radioactive, and as it's name implies, comes from Naquahdah. natural Naquahdriah has already decayed, artificial is possible. *or recently formed*
Neutronium is the hardest to find. with it's density and all, on planets it'll be located inside the core.

Mind-Bending, Building-Sized Brilliant Inception Ads in NYC
by Alex Billington
July 1, 2010
The dream is real. We're down to the last few weeks before Chris Nolan's Inception hits theaters and jump starts the summer movie season. I suggest you don't watch any more footage from the movie so that you can experience it in the best way possible. Peter of SlashFilm showed me these awesome building-sized ads for Inception found in New York City that I have to show you guys. One of them (via Tumblr) has water flowing out windows to make it look like a dream. The other one (via Twitter) also plays with reality by bending back the entire wall of the building. Absolutely brilliant marketing for a brilliant movie that certainly deserves it.
I just love seeing marketing that actually integrates the concept of the movie into the design and I also love that they're not using floating heads to sell it. Every bit of marketing we've seen for this has been top-notch!
These photos aren't the greatest quality, but that's all I can find online right now. If you also live in NY and can snap a better photo or seen any better shots of these ads, please let us know so we can update the post! If you haven't seen them, watch the first teaser trailer and second teaser trailer for Inception at those links as well as the theatrical trailer. We have a few Inception interviews that'll be hitting in the next few weeks.
Inception is both written and directed by acclaimed Oscar nominated British filmmaker Christopher Nolan, of Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight. Nolan wrote the screenplays for Memento, Batman Begins (with David Goyer), The Prestige & The Dark Knight (both with Jonathan Nolan). Warner Bros is bringing Inception to theaters starting on July 16th this summer. Only a few weeks are left!

These are awesome and I've loved everything released for this movie from the viral game to the website to the kick ass posters. Speaking of which, I put this video together using some online program I found. It's rough around the edges, but I dig the tune and just thought I'd share it with fellow fans out there who are stoked to see this sure to be awesome movie. Any feedback would also be appreciated. http://www.youtube.com/user/DLMEntertainment1#p/a/u/0/1t8FAX60rbg http://www.dlmentertainment.com/?c=135&cn=Inception Cheers, Derek M DLM Entertainment

Joan Baez. The name conjures images of a hippie-era folk musician who performed at the legendary Woodstock concert (while pregnant) and dated fellow musician Bob Dylan. Her renditions of songs like “Diamonds & Rust,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” and “We Shall Overcome” remain iconic to this day.
But Joan Baez, now 71, is still going strong. She just kicked off a tour this week and will have 10 special shows where she will perform with Atlanta’s own Indigo Girls, including shows at Atlanta’s Chastain Park Amphitheater June 14-15.
The concerts won’t be the first time Baez collaborated with Indigo Girls’ Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. The three have performed together since back in the early 1990s. They also recorded “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” together for Baez’ album “Ring Them Bells,” on which Baez also covered Indigo Girls’ “Welcome Me.”


i386 refers to the 32-bit edition and amd64 (or x86_64) refers to the 64-bit edition for Intel and AMD processors.
Wikipedia's i386 entry:
The Intel 80386, also known as the i386, or just 386, was a 32-bit microprocessor introduced by Intel in 1985... This is termed x86, IA-32, or the i386-architecture, depending on context.
Wikipedia's x86_64 entry:
x86-64 is an extension of the x86 instruction set. It supports vastly larger virtual and physical address spaces than are possible on x86, thereby allowing programmers to conveniently work with much larger data sets... After launching the architecture under the "x86-64" name, AMD renamed it AMD64... x86-64 is still used by many in the industry as a vendor-neutral term, while others, notably Sun Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation) and Microsoft, use x64.
Even if you have an intel CPU, you should use AMD64 to install 64-bit on your computer (it uses the same instruction sets).
I highly recommend using it. For the most part you will not notice a difference but for large workloads (such as video editing, gaming, etc), the computer will perform faster (the computer has the ability to calculate 2+2+2=6 instead of having to do 2+2=4+2=6 in an example). In the Windows world, a 32-bit OS will not let you use more than 3.5 Gigs of RAM on your computer (even if you have 8!). You'd need to use a 64-bit OS in order to fully use all RAM. For Linux, however, there's no such limit (thanks, Uri).
Regardless, the world has shifted from 32 bit and it's only there to support older machines that are incapable of running 64 bit. The upcoming Windows 8 is said to support 128 bit, to give you an idea of 32's age!

Upcoming Wiki Changes
Important! There are changes coming to the Wiki. For information about these changes, as well as what options users have, please visit the Wiki Service Change Options and FAQs page.
No author defines the Victorian period more than Charles Dickens: ambitious, talented, and prolific in the extreme with his many novels, stories, articles, and plays; tireless in his devotion to editing the periodicals Household Words and All the Year Round; deeply committed to using his work and fame to combat the injustices of Victorian society and promote charity and social reform; exhaustive in his representation of all aspects of Victorian life and all manner of character. Mary Elizabeth Braddon was also highly ambitious and compulsively prolific, penning more than 70 novels as well as short stories, plays, articles, and poems while editing periodicals as well. She enjoyed great popularity and success, and, like Dickens, was devoted to addressing societal problems in her work, particularly those pertinent to women. But while Dickens is famous for (among other things) his social realism, Braddon has been called the “Queen of Sensation,” producing perhaps the most celebrated novel of the genre, Lady Audley’s Secret. The vehicles of realist and sensation fiction differently allowed Dickens and Braddon to mobilize social commentary on issues such as gender, class, morality, and the law. These disparate modes also impacted the stature of each author, with Dickens enjoying celebrity and unparalleled esteem, while Braddon’s unconventional personal life and voluminous output of lesser fiction—albeit for financial reasons—compromised her status as a noble literary personage. Today, it is far easier to appreciate not only her talent, skill, and intellect, but also her dynamic engagement with and profound critiques of Victorian culture, from the neatness of Dickens’s plots to the oppressive “ideals” of femininity to the modernization of English life as the 19th century draws to a close. The vast catalogues of Braddon and Dickens, then, teem with the essential and the elaborate makings of Victorian literature and culture, and they exemplify the powerful exchanges between the two.

Draft legislation aims to impose government oversight on hedge fundsWASHINGTON, DC - New legislation filed by senator Carl Levin and senator Charles Grassley aims to impose government oversight of hedge funds. The proposal was filed as the Obama administration was preparing a broader legislative overhaul of the regulatory system, which is also expected to include measures to more tightly regulate hedge funds. State regulators and the Congressional Oversight Panel, created by Congress to oversee the Troubled Assets Relief Program, issued separate but similar regulatory proposals on January 29.
Senator Christopher Dodd, head of the Senate banking committee, is planning a sweeping round of hearings in February that will focus on the need to more tightly regulate the financial markets and will feature testimonies from Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, and Paul Volcker, a former Fed chairman who is an adviser to President Obama.
The regulatory overhaul is one piece of the administration's effort to restore confidence in the financial system, which it expects to complete before the meeting of the G-20 nations in London on April 2.

Just when you thought the SCGOP couldn’t get any more politically tone-deaf, it turns out their state Party Chairman and 2010 gubernatorial front-runner are both members of additional “whites only” societies.
SCGOP Chairman Katon Dawson and S.C. Attorney General Henry McMaster are members of the Camellia Ball and Columbia Ball, respectively, two all-white dance clubs that hold annual debutante balls at swankly local clubs.
Republicans who are serious about reaching out to the black South Carolinians who represent a third of the state's electorate should read these words with much concern. Despite the empty words and occasional window dressing, the leadership of the Palmetto State GOP has all but set up a cross in front of it’s headquarters and set it afire when it comes to reaching out to non-white South Carolinians.
We saw the racial exclusivity of the GOP leadership in 1994, when then SCGOP Chair Henry McMaster decided to add an advisory question about flying the Confederate flag over the State House on that year’s GOP primary ballot. We saw it again a few years later when efforts by black Republicans to convince former Governor David Beasley to appoint blacks, regardless of party affiliation, to a wide range of state boards and commissions were rebuffed. We see it yet again in the names of supposed GOP leaders who are involved in whites-only social clubs.
In spite of this, many Republicans seriously don't understand why black voters won't give them the time of day.
One of the most important lessons from the Barack Obama candidacy is that a growing number of Americans expect the membership of their social organizations, churches and political affiliations to at least somewhat resemble the demographic make up of their communities. Consistent with this trend, those who are interested in politics and are conservative may not join the Democrats after attending a mostly (or all) white GOP meeting, they’re increasingly going to be leery of joining a party that is sorely lacking in diversity, or whose leaders could care less about shutting the door in the faces of one-third of the state's population.
Time and time again, the support of the GOP grassroots for advancing black candidates for elected and party offices proves they aren’t racist and know the GOP needs to reach out and become more conclusive. As the actions of Dawson, McMaster and others run counter to those efforts, it's time for grassroots Republicans to insist their leaders do better, or step aside in favor of those who will make the GOP more welcoming to new constituencies. Given the recent strong performance racked up by Obama in South Carolina, as well as the slowly shrinking GOP legislative majority, there may not be much time to act before the Democrats are once more running the show in South Carolina.
We’ve got a lot more to say on this issue. Stay tuned for our next posting on this issue ...
