let me take a stab at it.
the thing is, africans brought to this country helped to build it. the u.s. would literally not exist as it does today without blacks.. they are as american as apple pie and yet many feel, for reasons like this, that they are not welcome in this country. at the same time there is a pride and a yearning for a connection to a land from which they were displaced. how to bridge these two feelings is tricky and it's something that only each person can decide for themselves.
but having brought them here some 400 years ago and having maintained their domination over them since, (again, read this) it's really not appropriate for white people, as a whole, to outline the contours of black identity. whether in how they name their children, how they dress, what they eat, whatever. even with the best of intentions, chances are that whites will step in it. Black History Month is well and good in one sense (again, the pride thing) but it also helps to highlight the subjugated position blacks have in this country for the rest of the year (the domination thing).
oh and generally speaking, slavery's having happened a long time ago doesn't mean anything. thought experiment: suppose blacks had been paid for their labor? suppose, with that income, they'd been able to own property and build wealth in greater numbers? suppose they'd passed that wealth down through generations? suppose the reconstruction hadn't happened to thwart whatever post-slavery economic progress was possible?
the point is the effects of slavery are still trickling down. and it's galling to have it glossed over the way that it is in this country. an honest accounting and an end to institutionalized racism would be healthy for the entire country, yet a modern president can't even suggest that he might apologize on the country's behalf for racism without a shitstorm.
so suggestions for animal print clothing to celebrate black pride from what i assume is a school with a majority-white administration is just dumb.
Happy to oblige.
Basically, the entire thing started with an article in a book entitled Hallucinogens and Shamanism (see here) which is a so-so treatment of the subject, by a mixture of scholars and journalists (although there are a couple of good articles.) The specific article that made the claims was called "The Role of Hallucinogenic Plants in European Witchcraft", and was written by one Michael Harner, whom you can read about here, but, to save you the trouble, he is the 'founder of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and the formulator of "core shamanism."' He is well known for his mystic healing practices, wherein he and his disciples use some herbal remedies (many of dubious effectiveness, some actually quite toxic) and some of 'the powers of their minds' to miraculously heal people, or enable them to miraculously heal themselves. (Incidentally, I hesitate to link to the Wikipedia article, because basically none of his detractors have any say on it whatever, all criticism of any kind having been successfully purged from it, although the edit history is quite illuminating. However, Wikipedia's what the people seem to want these days, so have at it.)
Yes, he has a degree in anthropology. But honestly, he has basically appropriated a whole bunch of shamanic/druidic traditions from a hundred different places, cobbled them together into a synthetic religion, and then spent his life converting people. He uses the witches as another example of a mystic visionary tradition to feed his pet religion.
This article is the first suggestion that anyone made that witches brooms were drugged dildos that I know of, and it was done by cherry picking (so to speak) the facts in a pretty ridiculous way, and parsing things very carefully indeed. Since then, the claim has been made repeatedly, but if you look at the articles and books making it, they all pretty much use Harner as their primary source. If they don't admit it directly, you can tell because they cite the same evidence that he does in his article.
I'm sure he believes what he says, but everything he sees is shamanism, and if there's not enough evidence for it, he's happy to go find some more on one of his mystic spiritual quests to find some.
There's your primary source.
Some may remember me from a year ago when I was introduced to the reddit community via an epic AMA. To celebrate my cake day, I'm giving away the Kindle edition of my book "Chomp, Chomp, Chomp; How I Survived a Bear Attack and Other Cautionary Tales" free to any redditor who wants to read it. Just go here and download.

Good until midnight tonight PDT. Thanks all!
I guess he was saving water, and instead of using hot water, he used this to keep the water hot, or heat it up. he passed away in the tub with this thing still in there, it might not have been an active boil, i'm pretty sure it was just like a huge slow cooker..yeah, near boil, until it dried up. i'm sure that it was a few days before they found him.

Actually, I was reading about this in this particular book: Dinner with a Cannibal and the idea that it tastes like "Pork" is only because the islanders who used to perform Cannabalism during their first human contacts only really had one other land mammal's flesh to compare to human flesh, and that was wild pig. They didn't have beef, lamb, goat, etc.
The people who ate humans more recently, like those from the Ande's plane crash where people survived 72 days on top of a mountain after a plane crash by eating those who died and were frozen, actually say it's much more similar to Marbled Beef(like Kobe), but better, and "The best meat they have ever tasted."
A short basic synopsis of the book can be read here
https://www.google.com/search?q=702+731+1500 is all that's needed TMK, the rest stuff like safe search off.
(I like to make urls shorter when linking to them, sans url shorter. Like on amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Denix-Century-Flintlock-Pistol-Ornate/dp/B003CZEYS4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377062620&sr=8-2&keywords=butt+pirate can be shortened to http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CZEYS4/)
As it so happens, I'm giving away a book I wrote for free. Today (July 8th) is the last day it's free, so be sure to get it quickly, if you want it.
If you do read it, please consider posting a review on Amazon so others know if it's worth their time.
Thanks, just ordering the book now... sounds interesting. I fully agree that things should look like what they are because "people don't read".
Sorry, out of stock. Customers also bought:
I hope you enjoy shopping with us! Read our customers' reviews to be sure you won't be disappointed in your purchase.
Sounds like Ted Nancy's Letters From a Nut. He sends letters to real people and places and publishes the letter and response. They are laugh out loud funny.
fuuuuck, I did not know this existed (or will exist, as it seems), although the hardcover I bought with the joker face coming off dust jacket is pretty awesome.
You actually aren't supposed to do that. The warnings not to put Q-Tips in your ear on the package are there for a reason.
It gives you no medical benefit and when you clean your ear with them you actually push a good deal of the ear wax deeper into the ear canal, which builds up over time and can result in a blockage, which can cause pain, hearing problems, ringing in the ear, or dizziness. You can also accidentally puncture your ear drum using these.
Most people also don't have to and shouldn't clean the ear wax in the canal, it's there to clean and moisturize your ears, prevents insects to a certain extent from entering it and is anti-bacterial. Constantly removing it often results in earaches and a higher risk of ear infections.
If you actually have to clean your ear, use ear syringes, they are a cheap and safe way to clean your ears, never use Q-Tips for that!
This is why I have dash cams in my cars.
If you don't want to spend a ton of money on good cams, get This one. It's cheap, but it records decent video and has a date/time stamp, and that's all you need to prove in court that someone cut you off/brake checked you to prove you aren't at fault.
Tip: Put in a 16GB or higher SD card and set it to 3min files. Works the best.
This reminds me of a book I used to buy for friends .. the perfect coffee table book
I have The Complete Far Side 1980-1994 (2 vol set)
The thing weighs a TON, but I love it. I grew up reading them.
Dude, I totally read a book about you! good that your mate survived!
Swallowing Stones
You're wrong. The average cost of electricity is ~$0.11/kWh. 1000w is enough to boil three gallons of water very quickly, just google 'water boilers 1000w: http://www.amazon.com/MARSHALLTOWN-Premier-742G-Bucket-Heater/dp/B000BDB4UG/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1356817956&sr=1-1&keywords=Bucket+Water+Heater . The true cost of the extra cup of coffee is a tiny speck of that, as we are calculating just the increased energy usage vs normal coffee heating, so we're talking maybe a penny's cost for each pot of coffee.
A small coffee at McDonalds costs is $0.99 before tax.
One extra cup would greatly offset the cost of heating a pot. That's a 900% return on that investment. That's insanely huge, and now you see why McDonald's did it.
On top of that McDonalds sells ~1 billion cups of coffee a year (http://scheingrosslaw.com/mcdonalds-coffee-lawsuit/). A pot of coffee makes ~12 cups of cofee. That's a 8% increase in coffee sales with a 0% increase in food cost. That's 80 million cups of coffee that cost McDonald's less than a penny each to produce.
You can see very easily now, why McDonald's would say 'fuck you lady'
Yes that is it! I don't know anything about the boxed set but I wouldn't be surprised if it was out there. This is the Batman storyline, although it looks like each of the other series (Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, etc...) have trades for this storyline as well.

I live in the USA, and I have one. I bought mine off of Amazon. I paid $21 for the dashcam and $13 for the SD card.
If you're interested I can upload some video onto youtube for you to check out how it works. It's alright for $34.
The "most helpful review" is also humorous!
Not quite what you were requesting, but still in the ball park of the subject matter at hand.

Protip: Pick up an ear wash kit at your local pharmacy. It should include a plastic bulb you can use to wash out your ear that works very well in addition to peroxide. Or even better get one of these.
I can't express to you how much I love The Far Side. I mean, I have calendars, random books and, of course, The Complete Far Side.
You guys should appreciate "The Design of Everyday Things" by Donald Norman. He points out the obvious that so many people overlook, like handles imply you are to pull.

Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond
This book gives good insight to why certain societies developed at different rates. The short answer is geography - this is the most basic necessity for humans to move from hunter gatherers to more developed societies is the presence of very specific, interdependent circumstances based on geography.

A Hand in the Bush: the Fine Art of Vaginal Fisting, by Deborah Addington
If you like those books, also try [Guns, Germs, and Steel](http://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/0393061310/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229375628&sr=8-1 "basically a short history of humanity") by Jared Diamond.
Reminds me of Ted L. Nancy's Letters from a Nut
according to the straight dope, a book from 1973 Hallucinogens and Shamanism also says this. Haven't read it, but looks like that book might cite primary sources
This is a cool article...you all should also take a look at this book: "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Era of Colorblindness.". It also says a lot about this issue.
What a cool sister.
You should get him a new one for his next birthday, include a bottle of Gun Oil to go with it.
Jared Diamond wrote a book on this topic: Guns Germs and Steel
He argues that culture and civilization is determined by geography, not genetics.

I would think that most writers would be fine linking a comic if you link where they can get a book from.
