Boston has launched a new public service campaign to fight Islamophobia by offering the public ways to address aggression toward others because of their appearance or beliefs.
The campaign launched Monday involves 50 posters that provide a step-by-step guide to handling when someone is being harassed. They will be posted on bus stop benches and other public places around the city.

servant who would help to hold and wipe so the lady would not have to
get out of her dress.

.Crotch less undergarments were popular with the ladies also. We had a woman tailor when we did Civil War reenacting that custom made them from old patterns from the mid 1800's for our Ladies.
They really help with some of those outfits they wore.

Some years back we were on a river rafting trip with our kids, and with friends with two young sons. For some reason the subject of the younger son's potty troubles came up (probably via his older brother). The dad looked up at the young man guiding the raft, and said sorry about that.
The guide said no problem, my dad's a proctologist. This is dinner conversation at my house.

The people who don't harass look at them and say "Fuck you. it isn't like I'd sit back and let somebody get hurt in public. Fuck that noise, and fuck the whiners who want it. I hate these asswipes who tell me what to do so they can feel good."
The people who would harass anyone in public look at hem and say "Fuck you. I'll treat people how I like and fuck 'em. Dipshit asswipe whiners."
The one thing that unites both groups is that they think the people who put them up are asswipes. And in that they are correct.

It would be funnier if it were moved to the late 18th century, and mentioned that early settlers in the Ohio valley were so afraid of Indian raids in the early settling period, before they got good defenses in, they were leery of starting fires to keep warm since the Indians would track them by the smoke, so they would capture a type of prairie chicken, (now extinct because of their innate tameness) and sleep with them as a sort of hot water bottle to keep from freezing;
so the term "surrounded by heath hens" was born

For me, great art needs passion of some type. Love, hate, political, whatever. He was a political animal--it's all he knew. I heard someone describe him as a better propagandist than Albert Speer. I agree. If you look at his post-Napoleon work though, while his skill is still masterful, there's something missing. His paintings seem dry and emotionless. The double-losses of the Jacobins and Bonaparte, along with exile from his beloved France, destroyed what made David David.

Do they expect me to peek in on the homes of professional athletes on a fixed schedule to make sure Mrs. Jock isn't getting whupped on for burning the meatloaf again?

Who is that for, exactly?
Are they implying I beat my (non-existent) wife?
Are they implying it's somehow my fault that some dumb 'roided up meathead jock goes all ribbed-sleeveless-white-cotton-shirt on a regular basis?
Do they expect me to peek in on the homes of professional athletes on a fixed schedule to make sure Mrs. Jock isn't getting whupped on for burning the meatloaf again?
What exactly do they mean by asking me to "help end domestic violence?"
What is the message here?
Can I just watch the damn game in peace for once?
No wonder their ratings suck.

We had a "white ribbon" thing on domestic violence here a while ago. I am one of those who would like to batter people who hit their spouses. At one point, I had quite a lot of (physical, emotional, verbal) provocation to engage in a bit of that myself, but , like, you don't hit girls because its unfair and gross and that's that. I think most guys are like that, but not all are, and if you want to fund raise and bring the issue out into publicm, that's good and I can get behind that.
What I hated about the campaign was that people kept asking me to buy a fucking ribbon to (and I QUOTE) "show that I was against domestic violence", and I kept thinking "So, if I don't buy one, I'm FOR it? Screw that noise. Fuck you, get your ribbon out of my face."

Fenelon was never surrounded by heat hens or heathens. He was at one time surrounded by Protestants so whatever term is appropriate for 17th century Protestant (Huguenots) would work. ;^) Cardinal Bousset sent Fenelon to the most troubled area of France-the heavily Protestant districts of Poitou and Saintogue. There was persecution and confusion and rebellion (Louis XIV had revoked the Edict of Nantes which protected Protestants) Fenelon stipulated that no troops would accompany him, but he would go as a work of mercy and peace. Both the Protestants and Catholics were impressed by his way of handling the assignment, and it was said that though the Protestants were not converted they were charmed by his character and grudgingly he may've won their esteem and respect.
That was more than you probably wanted to know about Fenelon, I bet. :^)

I appreciated the honesty of Ace's opinions and his evolution as circumstances changed. My own opinion is that some of the more hostile commentary was paid gangs. I was a Cruz supporter and came to support Trump, in a lukewarm fashion. President Trump has pleasantly surprised me and I think he can do very good things. He now has my support.

In a previous thread about when did we start with I cannot spare this man he fights I posted a link to an October 2015 ace post where our very own Jay Guevara used that phrase. I looked at MY posts in that thread and am surprised how skeptical I was of Trump at that point. The thread that ace wrote then was about Trump's mouth going to be the end of him - even though up to that point it hadn't been. My position was kind of "no need to pile on, but I expect he will crash and burn on his own."
I think EVERYONE was wrong.
Except one and I need to go back to thread to see who it was. Someone in sales, and they were saying how everything Trump was doing was salesy and that he was closing the deal. Read like Scott Adams before Adams picked up on the Persuader thing.

"The two officers were driving through an alley near the home of Justine Damond, 40, after she called 911 late Saturday to report a possible assault, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the state agency investigating the shooting. The officer who was driving the patrol car told investigators that right after the loud noise, Damond approached the car on his side. The officer who was in the passenger seat then fatally shot Damond through the driver's side window, according to investigators."
So there's a loud noise that may or may not have resembled a gun shot, victim approaches driver's widow and begins talking to driver, shooter reaches across driver to shoot victim. It's looking more and more like this is either 1) sudden jihad syndrome in which muzzie can't abide improperly dressed immodest woman, 2) affirmative actioned grossly incompetent cop, or 3) both.

Maybe I'm giving Trump too much credit, but I think he knows exactly what he's doing here.
And maybe it's because I'm in sales and have to go through these dumb sales trainings all the time, but he seems to be using a lot of sales methods on people -- where you say something that suggests an answer -- kind of get people to decide something (carly is ugly) "on their own" even though you never said that.
And the "classiest, best, greatest" verse "loser, low energy, horrible guy" stuff is classic salesmanship.
So, again, maybe I'm giving Trump too much credit here, but to me he seems to be treating this election as a sales presentation.
for those of you not in sales, think about the pick up artist type shit. He's "negging" a lot of people, but not outright saying things that can be used in soundbites or thrown back in his face.
"What? All I said was look at her face. You're the whacko who thought I called her ugly. Your word, not mine."
"Heh? All I said was "wherever". You're the sicko who took that to mean "vagina""

The story behind that work is great. He was driving along with his family and happened to look over at a sleepy little village in the middle of nowhere. He stops the car, gets the camera out and snaps the picture all in a period of about two minutes. There's no time to test the lighting and other camera functions before the effect is lost. It became a masterpiece with almost no darkroom manipulation. Wow.

Because the police are only releasing details one tiny little drip at a time, I suspect it's a bad shoot, and precisely for the reasons you state.

The cop lawyered up pretty quickly, didn't he.
Loud noise. Sure that always makes me want to reach for my weapon and start firing without identifying the threat first. Oh, and excuse me partner while I reach across you to plug multiple rounds into the woman standing at your window. Wow.
Everything I've seen thus far -this was definitely a bad shoot, and the city better brace itself for a serious lawsuit coming their way.

Well, right now he's probably wondering if he will be crucified in the press, and abandoned by police and city leadership, should he jeopardize their oh-so lovely story of the first Somali police officer. He's already seen other cops around the country attacked from all sides when there's a bad shooting incident, and also how diversity trumps safety.

To quote David Bowie, I think we're all going through ch ch ch changes. These are extraordinary times and we are mere mortal. Well, not Kate Upton but the rest of us.
By the way, David Gergen asks why Trump is so obsessed with Putin? Gosh, Davey, I'm not sure it's Trump who is obsessed with "Raz" Putin.
Possibly relevant, I'm currently obsessed with Watchmen, movie and graphic novel (which is cool the way Kindle does it). I think they made a movie in which Veidt is the hero and Kovacks is the villain but I'm watching a movie in which Veidt is the villain and Kovacks is the hero. Or maybe it's just nihilism. Or maybe they're saying that the world is a complex place without clear cut heroes and villains. It's like a Rohrschach ink blot test. (Snort)

What to do, what to do? Hmmmm. My guess is that in the end the white woman gets tossed under the bus. Because Muslim trumps everything.

Yes, the way I looked at it, to win, the Republican had to take all the Romney states (not necessarily a given, but the way to bet) and then turn at least 3 Obama states - pretty much Florida, Ohio, and one other.
If you looked at the candidates we had and their ability to flip Obama states, Trump actually was the logical answer.

My only "concern" was the level of democrat voter fraud, legendary since the 1960s. There was an undercurrent of concern from the usual suspects. Whatever it is that makes the standard issue Republican roll over for fraudulent elections, Mr. Trump wasn't playing that shit. That's why they pointedly asked him if he would "accept" the results of the election were he to lose. Meaning, will he raise a fuss if it were stolen? And they all got the vapors. Can you believe this shit?

I love hot dogs, and have tried them all over the country. And I don't mean methods of preparation (which are very regional), but rather the brands themselves (which are also very regional, and vary greatly in taste and texture).
I used to like Sinai 48's, until Ballpark bought them and shut them down. Vienna Beef is good, and a major player in Chicago, but unavailable where I live now. There are some other good natural casing hot dogs from Chicago, but again they are only locally distributed. I have always wanted to try some of the brands that I see are made in Michigan, but don't know anyone who lives there and am not getting on a plane to make the purchase myself. Local brands, mostly made by Cloverdale Foods, are awful; the flavor is so weird I suspect them of putting in cinnamon or nutmeg. Hebrew National is definitely the best mass market hot dog available in local stores, although I just discovered a natural casing hot dog made for Trader Joe's that is very good in both taste and texture.
In conclusion, always remember Harry Callahan's famous admonition "Nobody, I mean NOBODY, puts ketchup on a hot dog!"

And I switched about 1/2 way thru the primaries.

In one he was said to have loaned the use of his jet to the NY Reagan for President group so they could get the papers to get Reagan on the ballot to Albany on time. That's just my memory of what I read as is the next.
In the other Trump was being driven through NYC in his limo and saw a guy being attacked by another guy with a baseball bat. He ordered his driver to stop and got out and stopped the attack and berated the attacker with "What do you think you are doing, stop it."
These stories were from well before the present day and had named sources/witnesses.
These two and others I found later painted the picture of a man that I could support as President. One who would fight for what I consider American principles/values.
