Wallace, a retired country club manager who has owned his own organic fertilizer company for the last four years, grew eight giant pumpkins this season, said Thomson. Of that number, four survived, and he chose what he thought was the largest specimen to take to the fair, said Thomson.
One argument says that James overreacted, that it is hypocritical for an athlete being paid millions of dollars to use such incendiary language. It’s not racism, it’s just how businesses operate, it is argued. Yet, given the NFL’s track record regarding issues of race in the era of Colin Kaepernick’s exile, James’ idea of the NFL’s corporate hierarchy, right or wrong, isn’t an uncommon one at the barbershop, dinner table, bar or any safe space where people, in particular black people, congregate.
“Taco Bell should really consider taking out the seeds in the watermelon freeze. My niece just choked. Very very scary,” a consumer named William Ginyard tweeted.
In addition, as James’ political, social and cultural voice has evolved, so too has the backlash. Shortly before the start of the 2017 NBA Finals, James’ Los Angeles’ home was spray-painted with “n—–” across the gate — an act some of James’ detractors pegged a hoax. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump publicly questioned LeBron’s intelligence. There’s Fox Sports analyst Clay Travis, who did the same this week after James’ Instagram story. Conservative media personality/Fox host Laura Ingraham‘s “shut up and dribble” segment is impetus for an entire documentary for James. And there’s Breitbart as well as other conservative pundits who’ve labeled James as divisive. There are well-populated social media hate groups. This is the same kid who spoke to Jay Bilas after his first nationally televised high school game, talking about “no pressure.”
Did James fly too close to the sun by actually typing the lyrics out on his Instagram story? To some, he definitely did. And these rebuttals, without question, deserve attention and empathy. Every community has stereotypes about which it is rightfully sensitive — the black community included. Yet, within a suggestion that James is in favor of anti-Semitism is the choice to ignore the calls for unity he has made from his platforms for years, and ever more as his societal caché has expanded. James’ history is about inclusion over exclusion — a battle he’s taken to the front door of the Trump White House on more than one occasion. Given the racial climate of the moment, it’s fair to wonder if some (not all) of the reaction to James’ post isn’t more about the power of the man who posted it.

Dry pieces of pork tenderloin ($39) unceremoniously jumbled with corn, sweet peppers and avocado is a rare miss. But beef is well-represented in the form of a sizzling charred filet ($43) with roasted root vegetables, a restrained application of Hollandaise and paper-crisp carrot chips.
The record-breaking, cream-colored monstrosity checked in at a plump 2,528 pounds Thursday night, with the pumpkin resting on a pallet and the numbers registering on a digital readout. Geddesâs creation is the second heaviest pumpkin ever grown in the world, a mere 96 pounds less than the giant produced in Belgium in 2012.
Stuttgart-headquartered JatroSolutions has been focused on bringing chuta to market as a food ingredient since 2015.
James shrugged off the backroom chatter, saying he’d love to play with any superstar and that Davis was one of many. And then Dec. 21, on James’ first-person interview series The Shop, his unfiltered thoughts on the NFL became the focal point of the episode. James praised NBA commissioner Adam Silver — who, for the sake of the conversation, is Jewish — for his willingness to allow players to utilize their platforms to speak about issues important to them. The NFL, James argued, doesn’t share the same viewpoint about players, whether they’re on or off the field. “In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality,” the four-time MVP said. “And it’s like, This is my team. You do what the f— I tell y’all to do. Or we get rid of y’all.”
The rules were simple: the venue had to have opened in 2018 (December ’17 at a stretch) with major revamps also getting a hall pass. And the dish (or drink) must be one we can’t get out of our heads.
The point at which grain corn is “safe from frost” is defined as physiological maturity and is correlated with the appearance of the thin, black layer of dead tissue at the tips of the kernels. Grain moisture at physiological maturity typically ranges from 30 to 35 per cent, but can vary based on hybrid. If frost is light and the leaves, stalks or husks are not damaged, kernel development will continue. Yield losses from death of leaves only prior to physiological maturity are estimated to be 35, 27, and 6 per cent for soft dough, full dent and half-milk line stages of development, respectively.
