In case a monkey gets into your yard, is a good reason for everyone to have a gun

Hi Harry, sorry you have been having difficultly as you might have read I have a great deal of difficultly myself in recent weeks. In my case I lost my password and had to actually go into my database to correct it. Sometimes my web server will block my ip address as a precautions and I have to white list the ip address manually. Both solutions required a relatively technical solution outside of the software. You problem is different (not an IP address or password issue) since you were able to login using a different browser. You have have pretty much ocalized the problem, to the original browser. You can try clearing the old browser's cache to see if that helps. Rebooting your system can't hurt either. The cause is probably not white trash, as I'm sure they have better things to do, like figuring out how to buy food now that SNAP benefits have been cut Thanks for you contributions

I never heard of this woman, and I won't judge her on that clip. as it was doctored for effect. She probably lost by a landslide. Imagine a real life drop squad: They would just be rounded up and arrested, as someone would sell them out in a about 5 minutes.

Yeah I'm sure Adams is Mackin'

Consider sharing a sample chapter here? Your name, jkm Mbdw, has no vowels rendering it unpronounceable in English. I almost did not approve your account on this basis alone. The domain associated with your email account appeared legit and that is why I approved it. I say all of this because your name will raise flag with other potential booksellers and readers as well. What is the reasoning behind you name?

I did not know Miles Davis went around shooting at people so often. It is surprising he did not land in jail. Interesting how they worked the white guy so prominently into the film; even in the trailer his presence seems forced. It looks like yet another brilliant performance from Don Cheadle.

@Sara, I have no personal recollection of Adam Clayton Powell. He died when I was a kid, and was most alive before I was alive. One of the avenues was renamed for him, and there is a magnificent statue of him on 125th street. I can't relate anything about him from personal experience, but I too heard he was a great man. But again that was a long time ago... He was the pastor of one of Harlem's most prominent churches. In fact I just got a book about his wife in the mail:

Missed your voice @Xeon.

I decided since I celebrate Black History every day that I'd ditch the 29 days of Black history month, and just do what I do can call it 366 days of celebrating Black history (or literature in this case). Today I'm celebrate Literary Events.

I generally don't do anything special for Black history month, because "every month is Black History Month" as far as I'm concerned. That said, I'm going to introduce 29 new features on AALBC.com every day this month. 1st Day of Black History Month: 100+ Recommended African-American Children’s Books

Congrats on your honor, and welcome to the forum. Hi @M. Ann Machen Pritchard, when you post a shortened URL and no other information, that screams spam. This would discourage a lot of people from following the link-because one has not idea what is waiting for them on the other end If you sent this as an email it might even trigger spam filters. Rather, if you posted the information in the following fashion, your message would be more appealing and potentially attract more attention. [Minneapolis, MN, January 9, 2014] M. Ann Machen Pritchard, author of Val’s World Featuring The Family Unity Roundtable, has been chosen as one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. The awards were sponsored by The Authors Show. Her win secures a place in ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’, an annual publication that will be available in January 2014. - Read the full press release here. You'll notice that the hyper link still uses your shortened URL so you can track clicks on the link (assuming that is why you used it). In fact, given the document is a press release you could simply paste the entire press release here. Better still you could post the entire press release and information about the book. I'm critiquing this post not just for your benefit but for the benefit of other reading this. Truth be told the simple fact that you posted something puts you in a different class of author

Shirley you may edit the poem by clicking the "edit" link directly underneath it. I also teach a GED class I often have students who "graduated" from high school with an IEP, which apparently is worthless. They are all very disappointed in that they did not understand that they effectively did not get a high school diploma.

I watched the season premier of Empire, a few weeks ago, during a "Empire" viewing event hosted by WNYC here in New York City. They had a panel discussion afterwards which including Fab Five Freddie and other pop culture/hip hop folks. I had fun, as the crowd reacted wildly to that drama filled first episode. I know if I was sitting in my living room, by myself, I probably would not have had as much fun. The whole show was over the top and does not take itself too seriously. It opened with Cookie (Taraji) caged in a gorilla suit. Later Chris Rock was cast as a evil gangster, which was too comical to be taken seriously. The show Empire is a complete diversion; you'll learn nothing and it has no socially redeeming value. It appears to be doing quite well for Fox TV, making them a lot of money. For some, it is a guilty pleasure, while others see absolutely nothing wrong with it and love the show. I dunno what to think, but for people who will never travel or experience any of the trappings of wealth and power, what is the harm in a one hour fun filled escape from reality? Then again, it is never just an hour. There is the social media activity Empire watchers engage in during and after the show, there are the other TV shows that folks watch religiously. The older I get the more convinced I'm am that TV and social media are a waste of our time. Don't get me wrong; TV and social media are potentially great things, I just don't think we use them in a great ways, and they are doing us more harm than good right now.

The Pope spoke at a school a few blocks from where I live. A full two days before his arrival the streets were cleared, making street parking a real problem for three days. That is about all I have to report. I had zero interest in seeing him, or hearing anything he had to say. It is interesting to me that so many people have such strong feelings for him both positive and negative. I wonder what percentage of American truly worship him? It was hard to avoid hear news account of thousands of people lined up over night just to catch a glimpse him speed by in a motorcade. I feel like it is everyone else but me who thinks it is crazy to go through so much effort to see any man (I appreciate many people believe he is divine). The same goes for all the media attention paid to Donald Trump. Again the media would have you believe that the majority of Americans want him in office, when I'd bet money it is just a small percentage of people. If the media bother to discuss candidates in terms of issues and qualifications--rather than celebrity. i doubt Donald would have any support at all. But the media will milk the Trump candidacy, and the Clinton email scandal, for all that it is worth, meanwhile the public goes along largely ignorant standing in line to see the Popemobile whiz by What a country.
