From 1956-1960, we lived in the Florida Housing Projects. Low income blacks lived in the Desire Housing Projects. The two were adjacent to one another and separated by Florida Blvd. The housing projects and schools were segregated. In September 1960 I enrolled and attended William Frantz Elementary School. On November 14, 1960, the day before my sixth birthday, six year old Ruby Bridges, escorted by 4 US Marshalls, was the first black child to enter the school. White families pulled their kids out of school, many of the white teachers refused to teach. While my mother was no racist, we moved to the Lower Garden District to get away from the turmoil. I remember being at school when this event occurred.

Comment on iMac Display Freeze by wfrantz

I "solved" my problem by buying a new iMac. I still have my old iMac collecting dust on my desk. I don't know what to do with it. It works but it is very unreliable.

I'm tempted to try re-flowing the Grid Ball Array under the GPU.

Hi, did you solve your problem with the iMac? Did you try with the external USB display adapter?

Hi William, I don't know if you remember me, you were my mentor at HNS back in 2001. I saw your picture on Google Images and followed the link - just wanted to say hello.

Comment on Save Toby Really is Illegal Extortion by J. Allen

J. Allen — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 04:20:16 +0000

Technically, it is extortion if the subject "makes a demand" and such demand is for money or property not otherwise owed, and failure to act results in a behavior meant to intimidate, injure, cause emotional or psychological harm, or other related duress to the person so threatened.

So yes, if he eats a rabbit it is his own business. If he asks for $5000 that's fine too. If he makes it a condition he will eat a rabbit if he can't raise the money, that's fine. But if he can be found to present the condition under the presumption that the act will render unhappiness or anger and moderation conditional transfer - yes.

Fine line, but he's crossing it. Though getting a DA to file the indictment is UNLIKELY. These things cost money, and the DA will weigh the value vs other crimes that must be prosecuted. DA time is limited.

It also is funny that people outside Russia often pronounce Sochi as Japan sushi meal. I think later this will change.
