My four year old grandson just left with his daddy for his first big fencing tournament at George Mason. He's been wanting to go with him for a while. Not sure how it's going to go.

NYPD detective under fire over raunchy pole-dancing video: ‘I have no words’​


This cop is really getting NYPD blue.

A detective in the city police department’s special victims’ unit is raising eyebrows after appearing in a raunchy pole-dancing video that’s gone viral, The Post has learned.

Melissa Mercado, a seven-year veteran of New York’s Finest, popped up on a music video published by World Hip Hop, which shows the curvy cop gyrating and shaking her body while wearing only a thong and a skimpy bra.

Why would this be an issue?
 
That's pretty young to be fencing!
He's just going to be with his daddy and stay in a hotel. He's a daddy's boy big time.

I expect he will actually start early. My son lettered in fencing at UNC in the 90s and became and stayed good friends with Coach Miller into his last week. He refs fencing events fairly regularly. He did the nationals in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago and is going out to do the same in San Francisco in a few weeks. I have no doubt that he'll have his son involved.

JD Vance admitted that he has seen the flood of memes making fun of him over the last week.

Social media users can’t stop editing photos to depict the vice president as a round-faced baby, an emo rocker, an alien, a toddler with a propeller hat and gargantuan lollipop, the painter Bob Ross, a minion from Despicable Me—and just about anything else you can possibly imagine

I just met the fencing coach at Columbia. It was a random acquaintance. He lives in my building here. He had just returned from the Junior Olympics in North Carolina. I mentioned Coach Miller of UNC and of course he knew of him, legend that he was.

Yeah, I took fencing in PE in 1970 with Coach Miller.

Since swearing in for his second White House term, Republican President Donald Trump flexed his executive power muscle by focusing on immigration, as he said he would during the 2024 campaign.

On the surface, this is a little too thought police to suit me since it's not directly job related. However, I could see where her charm around the office could have worn off.

I took it about two years later. It was just a lark for me. I had no idea of who Coach Miller was or what had accomplished when I signed up. IIRC, during the time I was in his class he was working on his PhD with his thesis focuses on the techniques he used to identify promising fencers in his PE classes. At the time, it was said that about 90% of his All-ACC fencers had been recruited out of his PE classes. IIRC, he didn't have any scholarships to lure high school fencers from out of state, so when he did recruit, he used what influence he had to get these out-of-state fences financial aid.

I hope it goes without saying that I was terrible at fencing, as I am/was at every activity that requires balance and manual dexterity. But there was this really hot young woman in my class who was about six feet tall and had the poise, bearing, and balance of ballarina. She was recruited for the team, and-IIRC-made the roster.
