"The Navy Yard has been a very bike-friendly place in recent years"

again, what do you mean. besides the organized tours you have to pay for, since when can you just ride around the navy yard? i tried to get in once and was turned away by the guards.

Posted by: randolph at November 9, 2009 10:51 AM in response to Navy Yard Entrance Opens, With Bike Lane!

i'm confused- there is a bike lane through the navy yard that anyone can use? i thought you needed an ID card to get in there?

what is the candle stick used for!?

Posted by: randolph at November 4, 2009 11:35 AM in response to Church Reboot on Clinton Avenue

from wikipedia:

"The Celestial Church of Christ is an African Initiated Church founded by Samuel Bilehou Oshoffa in 1947.

Samuel Bilewu Joseph Oshoffa was a carpenter born in French Dahomey, now called Benin, in 1909. A traumatic experience led to a spiritual awakening,Oshoffa believed that he received a call from God, this occurred in a forest during a solar eclipse,Oshoffa then became lost in the forest for exactly forty days and forty nights. Oshoffa felt called to preach, heal and raise the dead, this led him to found the church in 1947.[1] By divine ordinance he is called Prophet and he is also called Reverend, Pastor, and Founder, as he was the supreme head of the church and was responsible for the church coming into being. As "The Pastor" he had ultimate and unchallengeable authority in doctrinal and disciplinary matters. This made his death in 1985, after a vehicular accident, problematic.

The movement has continued to grow since Oshoffa's death, but has also suffered setbacks—the most immediate being severe difficulties related to the matter of succession.

Although the church takes elements from Yoruba thought, it also has strong similarities to the "purification movements" against paganism that are relatively common in African Christianity and Islam. Oshoffa believed he had a mission to combat "'Satan', 'fetish priests' and other 'powers of darkness'."(Marburg article) The name of the group comes from the Bible: Deuteronomy 26:15 "Look down from thy Holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Celestial and the land which thou hast given us, as thou didst swear to our father, a land flowing with milk and honey". The name signifies that they deem themselves as celestial or a representative of the heavenly on Earth."

they are those weirdos that you see on myrtle on weekends with the pillsbury dough boy hats on.

i completely disagree. in the hood everyone drinks everything through a straw, be it grape soda or colt 45.
