I have the 680 and its been a solid, good sounding unit. I've had no complaints regarding it's sound quality and in several cases have been very happily surprised by what I'm getting from it. I'm feeding it with 2 sony diversity wireless units, soon to be 4, so it's valuable to have 6 inputs (4 xlrs)
Usage wise, there's a made-for-680 portabrace bag which is great and provides easy access to all parts of the recorder whilst in use. I wish the same could be said for some of the control/menu/ergonomic choices on the unit itself. For some obscure reason there are 2 separate menu functions, one of which is accessed via the top of the unit, which would typically be covered. It's a peeve rather than a deal-breaker, for me, as once setup you don't really need to frequent that part of the recorder too much.
I'm currently exploring timecode options, so far I've narrowed it down to an Ambient Lockit box, which I'll jam-sync the Scarlet with. Apparently you can take a feed from the lockit and record it to channel 6 of the tascam. In post you can use WaveToBWF to convert the audio-recorded timecode to a bona fide timecode track.
There's some good information here:

Good luck!

what do I need to transfer photos from my COMPUTER to my mini Ipad
- Asked by Terence B
- 26/02/2013
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerYou should already have everything you need, but I'll run over it... You need a computer with iTunes installed, a sync cable to connect the iPad to the computer, and of course the iPad. Fire up the computer and Itunes, then connect the iPad to the computer. Once ithe iPad connects and finishes syncing select it in Itunes. (It will appear in the upper right area of the screen once the computer detects it is connected) Now just click on the "Photos" tab. From there you can enable photo import to the ipad and choose which folders on your computer to import. After you do that click Sync and the folders & photos in them will import to the ipad.

Copy your Image files or Videos in the sub-folder, make sure that your files have an 8-character format such as DSC_1234.mp4 or .jpg.
Once you connect your SD Lightning Connector your Photos/Video Albums will open up, Select and Import the files into your Album. You will have the option to Delete or Keep the Files on the SD Card upon successful transfer.

Thread: Rexy Mainaky as Coach
Rexy Mainaky as Coach
Lost and lonesome
Doubles coach Rexy cuts forlorn figure in training
Haresh Deol
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011 05:58:00
KUALA LUMPUR: It was an unusual picture at Juara Stadium at Bukit Kiara yesterday so unusual that it certainly raised the eyebrows of those present.
Former national shuttler Razif Sidek was pacing between courts, handing out pointers to national doubles players Koo Kien Keat, Tan Boon Heong and Hoon Thein How, while also coaching KLRC pairs Gan Teik Chai and Tan Bin Shen, and Zakry Abdul Latif and Fairuzizuan Tazari.
National doubles coach Rexy Mainaky, meanwhile, was seated at the far end of the courts away from the players surrounded by a handful of journalists.
Even BA of Malaysia (BAM) general manager Kenny Goh seemed surprised with what he saw on the courts but chose to remain silent.
Razif has made public his intentions of wanting to serve KLRC. That could materialise sooner than expected as the pairing of Zakry-Fairuzizuan seem to have a soft spot for the former shuttler. Teik Chai-Bin Shen also seem to enjoy Razifs company on the court.
It is crucial for both pairs to obtain the services of a doubles expert in their bid to secure a spot for the London Olympics next year.
"As far as we are concerned, he (Razif) is training us," said Zakry.
"Perhaps he will join KLRC soon, if the terms are right," added Fairuzizuan, without wanting to elaborate further.
Rexy, meanwhile, has been sidelined after Kien Keat-Boon Heong announced they would prefer to train under Pang Cheh Chang instead.
Rexy has apparently given his blessings for the duo to move on with another coach.
The Indonesian is now waiting for the decision by BAMs coaching and training committee tomorrow. It is highly unlikely Rexy will be given the axe but he could be handed a new role.
"Theres nothing to say at this point in time. This episode has taught me who my real friends are. When all is well, everyone praises you. The minute things go down, youre left all alone. This is life I suppose," he said.
09-07-2011, 01:01 PM #2Badminton: A morose Rexy at training
Ajitpal Singh
NATIONAL doubles coach Rexy Mainaky looked an unhappy man at Juara Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday as Razif Sidek made a return to the courts to monitor Zakry Latif-Fairuzizuan Tazari, who had a sparring session with World No 5 Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong.
As things stand, Rexy looks as if he is being sidelined as the BA of Malaysia (BAM) coaching and training (C&T) committee is expected to endorse Kien Keat-Boon Heong's request to train under Pang Cheh Chang.
The former Olympic champion is willing to listen to the committee but if they decide on something which is against the Indonesian's principles, he will come out with his own conditions.
According to sources, Rexy, whose contract with BAM is until 2013, will question the committee if he is designated to train only particular pairs in the national team.
The committee could, however, assign Rexy to the national back-up squad who are under the purview of Tan Kim Her.
A high-profile close door meeting is expected to take place today to discuss the problems within the association.
Zakry Latif was delighted to have Razif as his training advisor during training yesterday.
"Razif is just helping around... nothing is official yet," said Zakry.
This "sandiwara" reminds me of school??? Remember, in the past, teacher is the one in charge when you are in school? Teacher is in charge and parents leave everything to the teacher? NOW, is teacher touches the sudent, scold the student, PARENTS will turn up in school all "heated up"? SO, our so called 'champions", after few years of titles, got big headed, now cannot perform, request change coach?
Think we, the public who indirectly "fund" these players, should just consider ourselves got ripped off by them and HOPE they do well in future?
Rexy has won many important titles partnering ricky. He knows what it takes to be a winner, both psychologically and skills/strategy wise.A coach can only do so much. At the end of the day, its up to the players to play and win games, not the coach. How hungry are the players to win? Saying is one thing, doing the talking in the court is another.I believe rexy is doing a good job and the best he can. If he didnt care, he wouldnt have been so emotional. In fact, i feel rexy felt more hurt than kkk/tbh when they lose.
Also, i have to admire rexy for his professionalism. He's an indonesian and indonesian doubles is not exactly going great guns at the moment.However, he has remained committed to train malaysian players. He paired kkk/tbh together and felt a responsibility to help them to the death.And even graciously agreed to their request for a change in coach. That one has to admire his professionalism and in his commitment to the best interest of his players.It is really hard to take when someone u have brought up for so many years tells u that he/she wants a change.Well done to rexy and i do hope he will be able to unearth new gems for malaysia. Just like misbun who has moved on.kkk/tbh is not the future of malaysian badminton. Young kids are.

Doubles coaching saga sparks rumours of Rexy planning to quit
By RAJES PAUL
PETALING JAYA: The men's doubles coaching saga has taken a new twist, sparking rumours that chief coach Rexy Mainaky is planning to quit the national team.
Last week saw some major upheavals in the doubles department of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), with elite shuttlers Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari quitting the national team to join club side KLRC and top pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong telling Rexy they do not want to train under him anymore.
They said that they preferred to train under Pang Cheh Chang instead.
To make things more complicated, former international Razif Sidek made himself very much "at home" at Stadium Juara by coaching Zakry-Fairuzizuan and Gan Teik Chai-Tan Bin Shen on Tuesday.
This must have proved too much for Rexy, who called in sick yesterday, thus sparking off speculation that he was planning to quit the national team.
This is not surprising considering that Rexy had twice threatened to quit the job since joining the national team in 2005.
So, will the BAM let him go this time if Rexy pulls the same stunt?
That, and more, will be answered when the coaching and training committee meet at Stadium Juara today.
The meeting is also expected to resolve the issue of having one too many men's coaches in the doubles department.
If BAM endorse Kien Keat-Boon Heong's request to train under Cheh Chang, which should be a formality, Rexy and his assistant Rosman Razak will have only four players – Vountus Indra Mawan-Lutfi Zaim Abdul Khalid, Ong Soon Hock and Hoon Thien How – to train.
And Soon Hock only trains three days a week under Rexy.
Soon Hock is expected to be paired up with back-up shuttler Mak Hee Chun and they are likely to train under back-up coach Tan Kim Her for the next four days of the week.
The coaching and training committee, headed by BAM secretary Ng Chin Chai, are expected to review the whole doubles set-up today and some of the changes may not go down well with certain parties.
The panel could break up the men's doubles players into three groups – under Cheh Chang, Rexy and Kim Her – as some feel that this would create healthy rivalry within the pairs.
But some feel that this "divide-and-rule method" could give rise to jealousy, uneasiness and discord among players and coaches.
Another option is for the BAM to keep the two groups – elite and back-up, with Pang handling Kien Keat-Boon Heong and Kim Her continuing his good work with the back-up squad with his assistant Chong Kien Ling.
This, however, will leave Rexy and Rosman with nothing to do – unless BAM take the extreme measure of putting the duo in charge of the women's doubles department.
It is also uncertain whether BAM will go to the extent of promoting their Bukit Jalil Sports School men's doubles coaches – Yap Kim Hock, Chang Kim Wai and Koay Kar Lin – to the national team and demoting some from the national squad to handle the school team.
National Sports Council (NSC) director general Zolkples Embong said that they too were "waiting with great anticipation for BAM's decision as most of the coaches have contracts with the NSC".
"We will just wait for the outcome. There will be a review of the coaches' contracts (which include perks and salaries) based on the decision made by BAM.
"Whether Rexy moves down to the back-up squad or Pang moves up to the elite squad ... we will be fair with our review," he said.
Unlike the men's singles, talent is abundant in the men's doubles department but without a proper coaching structure and unity among the coaches, it will be tough to exploit their potential and to turn them into world-beaters.
It's your move, BAM.
Badminton: The future should be BAM's only priority
K.M. Boopathy
THE BA of Malaysia (BAM) coaching and training committee (CTC) will be finalising several issues today and the decisions must be aimed at lifting the future of Malaysian badminton and not just offering stop-gap measures.
Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong's request to train under Pang Cheh Chang looks certain to be granted but the CTC's role should not end there as the top pair should be told in no uncertain terms that this is their last chance in order to strike gold at next year's London Olympics.
While it is acceptable that players are allowed to voice their choice of coach, BAM has been too lenient -- to the extent of allowing Kien Keat to miss training for several days with the player offering lame excuses.
The CTC must warn both players that such actions will not be tolerated.
If Kien Keat believes missing training is the best way of letting his intentions known, it is the CTC's responsibility to educate the player.
Even if national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky is not suitable to coach Kien Keat-Boon Heong any longer, an official decision has to be made.
The players, no matter who they are, shouldn't take the law into their own hands as there are rules to be followed.
It was unforgivable that Rexy was not informed of Kien Keat's absence and even BAM, which is believed to have known the situation much earlier, didn't make an effort to inform the coach.
The CTC is expected to retain Rexy but the coach must be given specific targets to achieve until his contract expires in 2013, and not just be given a couple of pairs to work without any clear goals.
There is a possibility Rexy may be asked to take control of the women's doubles, a position to be vacated by Cheh Chang, but the CTC must first ensure that the Indonesian can be effective in training them.
The CTC should also consider utilising Rexy to guide junior pairs who will graduate to the national senior ranks after the World Junior Championships in November but whatever the decision, it must be target orientated.
The position of the high performance director is another issue which has not been finalised and there is a possibility that an official appointment could be delayed until December.
Datuk James Selvaraj's one-year stint ended last week but he is likely to continue until the end of the year.
If the CTC wants to give Selvaraj a longer run, he should be considered until the Olympics as it is pointless appointing a new candidate in January.
this is so sad.......when you are up, everyone come over and praise you...when you are down....everyone will start to condemn you...
so sad...thats life....whatever the outcome, i hope Rexy will be strong.....even if he choose to leave Malaysia, he will have my blessings...

Rexy, just quit BAM will you??!! Not worth the $$$, the sweat, the pain. There are tons of places where you can be a hero again.
Rexy - It's time to quit
Rexy has done so much to lift the standard of KKK and TBH. No double coach player has managed to gamble to pair a world junior champion double player with a senior player and train them and achieve A LOT in a short period of time starting by winning the All England. Rexy influences was huge when KKK/TBH was on the top of the world and even when he threatened to quit twice, Bam scrambled to persuade him to stay since they know that he can make a huge change.
But i think people tend to forget very quick and not so grateful to the individual that has contributed tremendously since KKK/TBH recent poor progress has create a window of opportunity to condemned Rexy. KKK/TBH can go and train with PCC or with any one but they should remind their brain and heart that it was an Indonesian former olympic champion, Rexy that made them to what they are now and BAM should also knows that!.
If people surrounds you tend to not be so grateful to what you've done then it's time Rexy you quit and i'm confident that MANY other countries would bend at your foot to seek your knowledge to guide their double players.
Probably not such an easy decision for Rexy himself!
When you have been with a national team for such a long time, in charge of the top players, responsible for the performances, and for formulating procedures and strategies, it's not easy to just walk away. You form attachments, bonds with people, affections, and a sense of responsibility. Some of the best work you have done is right there; it is often, for many people, what defines them, at least professionally. Sometimes, for a person to just toss it all and start afresh somewhere else is something he has to be forced into.
If Rexy is despondent at the moment, it is a natural reaction. The culture, atmosphere and sense of family he has received, and he has also himself infused, is real for him. How do you walk away from your family? If your family does not want you to tell them what to do, how would you feel? This is all real for him. Only he can sort it out. Right now he probably needs emotional support; someone to tell him he is still Rexy Mainaky, with or without the players, the associations or the infrastructure. As long as he has his mind and his sharpness and intelligence and his talent and conviction, he is still the formidable Rexy Mainaky. I sincerely hope he does not lose it.

I really think that its fairly possible that KKK/TBH have hit the wall with Rexy, and fairy enough that they want to be parted with Rexy. But I just dont think the process is dealt in proper manner by KKK/TBH and to some extend BAM. Rexy's statement shows how complicated and politically clouded the whole thing is. I guess it can happen everywhere and not just in Malaysia, so I hope Rexy can gain from the experience for the future either he'll stay or leave BAM.

I wish I could train under him.
The writing is on the wall but this saga happened so fast for Rexy to make his escape but his contract expires in 2013 (2 more years), and as Limsy said at RM180K a year plus performance bonus, that is a lot of dough. Rexy has to separate sports from business (or livelihood).
Rexy prolly watches from the sideline and see how far KKK/TBH would go under Pang/Razif. Also, I feel Rexy is a sincere person who would not gravitate if TBH/KKK screw up bigtime. The MD landscape has changed with 2 top KOR pair, 2 INA pair, FHF/CY, the 2 danish pair and KKK/TBH. Even the Taiwanese and Nippon pairs are tough. So, chances of winning OLY12 or even medalling, I would not bet on it, in fact, I think TBH/KKK best years are over
Personally i think the problem do not lie on rexy.. It's the player themself.. What a shame..
I support his decision to quit BAM......more news will come out very very soon

I need 50 rep to get exalted with the shadowpan, and no dailys to get it? Is there any way for me to get that last 50 rep without having to wait a day?
Like he said
Wait a few hours, or buy an expensive Hozen Peace Pipe.
Isn't there a rare spawn that drops Hozen Peace Pipe everytime?
I'd recommend just waiting a day since all you get at exalted are mounts. Plus if you're working on achievements you'll have to do the dailies for some time after exalted anyway.
Just wait lol. Patience is virtue :P
What is the issue with waiting a day???????
because he wants it now, try to look if you skipped a quest in townlong, beside that there is no way to get extra rep
There are some quests in kunlai summit that reward you with shadopan rep. First chain you get from inside the wall. Cant remember the area's name, but its a sha infested place and yangols are attacking it. Its right from the entrance to vale, if my memory serves. After completing that you get another chain that takes you near the entrance to townlong, but i cant remember if that gives rep.

[He turns around. Some bots are trying to subdue him to get him to go to the hospital because he had a quite a few bites taken out of him by lizards yesterday. However, he doesn't really understand what a hospital is and he doesn't really understand that the bots just want to help. So he's going to lash out and swipe at a few and maybe smack a couple with his tail, sending them flying while snarling loudly, acting like the hurt, cornered, and scared creature that he is.]
Don't attack me! Small daggers! Small daggers!
[Those small daggers would be needles with tranquilizers in them because he's not calming down and he's not planning on going quietly. The dragon opens his mouth, fully prepared to shoot out a blast of fire... but he lets out a sharp noise of surprise as one bot succeeds in giving him a shot. That bot soon goes flying into some wall. The shot only makes Toothless more panicked and aggressive. Anyone want to help attempt to calm him down?]

Obama, Romney cancel campaign events ahead of Hurricane Sandy
Romney campaign to move inland Monday, Tuesday
Both presidential candidates have canceled campaign events in the coming days as the East Coast prepares for a major storm, and Virginia's governor said Sunday his state would take measures to ensure residents are able to vote, despite potential obstacles brought on by Hurricane Sandy.
"We'll be ready, but we're planning for contingencies if there's still a problem," Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said on CNN's "State of the Union." He said his state would "absolutely" make polling centers like schools and fire stations a top priority for restoring power, should widespread outages occur.
In Virginia, the effects of a major storm could linger until Election Day. Hundreds of thousands of customers in Northern Virginia lost power for more than week following Hurricane Irene in August 2011, and clean up efforts could be prioritized over making the trip to the polls.
Virginia offers early absentee voting only with an excuse, unlike other states which offer less restrictive ways to cast ballots before November 6. That means the race in the commonwealth will be won or lost on Election Day.
North Carolina and Maryland, two other states in the storm's projected path, offer in-person early voting, which has benefited Democrats in the past. Martin O'Malley, Maryland's Democratic governor, said Friday that early voting in his state could be affected by the storm.
In Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, residents only have the option of voting early by mail.
The approaching storm has already led both President Barack Obama's campaign and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney to modify campaign schedules.
Obama's final Monday campaign event in Virginia and first Tuesday event in Colorado were canceled, and the president will instead "return to the White House to continue to monitor Hurricane Sandy," Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement Saturday.
Earlier on Saturday, Romney canceled his Sunday events in Virginia and said he would instead join his running mate on a bus tour of Ohio.
Vice President Joe Biden also canceled a Saturday event in Virginia.
Romney is scheduled to campaign in Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin on Monday, then in Ohio and New Hampshire on Tuesday.
On CNN Sunday, top Obama aide David Axelrod said it was too early to tell how, if at all, the storm would affect the election.
"I don't think anybody really knows," Axelrod said. "Obviously we want unfettered access to the polls because we believe that the more people come out, the better we're going to do, and so to the extent that it makes it harder, you know, that's a source of concern. But I don't know how all the politics will sort out."
While Obama and Romney have a host of battlegrounds states to visit that are out of the storm's path - including Colorado, Iowa and Ohio - the consequences of a major storm would echo beyond mere logistics. A hurricane hitting the most densely populated section of the country would also suck media coverage from the campaign, as television networks and newspapers deploy resources to cover weather rather than politics.
It could also provide a contrast between the two candidates - one who is a sitting president, and one who wants to become one.
A strong leadership image of Obama making official tours of affected areas could boost his image in the eyes of voters; conversely, any missteps in the administration's response to the potential disaster would have damaging results.
In the statement, Carney said Obama "is being regularly updated on the storm and ongoing preparations, and he has directed his team to continue to bring all available resources to bear as state and local partners continue to prepare for the storm."
He said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has "pre-staged resources" and that Obama "will continue to receive regular briefings."
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters earlier in the day that the campaign is "closely monitoring the storm, and we'll take all necessary precautions to make sure our staff and volunteers are safe."
Romney also faces opportunities and pitfalls. His response, like Obama's, will be closely monitored and evaluated for its tone. Rivals will be ready to pounce at any sign of politicization, while the candidate will also be able to bolster his image of a leader by making visits to damaged areas.
Romney made such a visit to New Orleans following Hurricane Isaac, the storm that forced organizers to cancel the first day of the Republican convention in August. That visit didn't generate any negative headlines for the candidate.

I love reality television. By love of course I mean I am addicted to it. Even though most of it is useless, I cannot stop watching. Reality television is like drugs. You try it once at a party, and before you know it you are in front of the television watching a Kardashian rerun over any other offering. I'm not a drug user, but I'm guessing it's more like crystal meth than a joint.
I wrote this week about The Real Housewives of Atlanta. I got many angry emails based on the following statement: These ladies live a life that I like to watch because I am unfamiliar with it. The southern and African American aspects are new to me, but the best thing about these women is that unlike any other city in the franchise, they will not pretend to be friends when they are not.
People were mad I thought the ladies of Atlanta were a true representation of African American women. Really? I don't think, nor did I say, that Sheree is like all Black women from the South. I learned about a prayer shawl and that is Southern. I saw an elaborate funeral with a band and a horse and carriage, and that is African American.
I learned about weaves and wigs, but that was from Kim so that lesson does not apply. I understand the frustration from the African American community that these women are not representative of who and what they are. If anyone can understand, it's the Jews. We've got Patti Stanger spewing her crap fest and everything thinks she is what Jewish women are like.
The Jews of reality television are never cool. They are either weird, nerdy, obnoxious, and always stereotyped. Or, they are fun and great, until they do something people don't like, then they are attacked and everything is blamed on them being Jewish. Reality TV has not been kind to Jews or Blacks. We need a new reality show that properly depicts how fabulous we all are.
I think 6 women, 2 Jews, 2 Blacks, and 2 Latinas would be great. Educated and normal women who are not fame whores, but just cool chicks who want us to see into their cool lives. I'm trying to think what city would work and I'm not sure. The Real Housewives of Los Angeles makes the most sense but with Beverly Hills and Orange County already out there, we need to head east.
RHOA does not show the world what it means to be a Black woman, just like Patti Stanger is not someone the Jews are proud of. I can't comment on the Latinas of reality TV because there aren't any. The only real thing about reality TV is our addiction. If these shows are what people base their opinions of Jews and Blacks are then God help us because Bravo is not keeping it real.

Remember when the housewives were fun? Remember when they laughed at themselves, were silly, and gave us a peek into their lives, and it was a life we could see for ourselves? Me too. Those days are gone and this week on RHOBH it became very clear that those days are never coming back.
We start off with Lisa and Pandora picking out the final wedding invitation. Last week Lisa tweeted that she did not pick the boxed invite, but then we saw that she did. Granted it was smaller than the original one we saw, but it's still pretentions and with postage over $150 a piece, which is gross.
Lisa is truly beautiful and has a killer body, so I don't understand whey she feels the need to wear clothes that are so tight, and shoes that are so high. She would walk better if she went one size bigger on the clothes and one inch shorter on the shoes. She's simply too old for her current look.
On to Adrienne, she is designing her own shoe line and I use the word designing very loosely. She pulls out her favorite designer shoes, and tells her team to copy it. Fascinating really that she went with this approach with the cameras rolling. Not the way I would have gone, but that's just me.
Sidebar: Adrienne is sweet girl, but she has a level of immaturity that I don't really understand. From her clothing choices, to her designing practices, to how she handles her friendships, is all a little young for me. Plus, forgive me but it must be said, side ponytails are simply not cute.
The next scene is so wrong I can't wrap my head around it. They show Russell and Taylor in therapy. I'm not going to comment as it is inappropriate, but I will say that I think it is disgusting, rude to his children, and a sell out for Bravo to show it. I also think Taylor is a liar.
I was not there, and do not know these people, but I do not think Taylor was physically abused by her husband. I think they were both emotionally abused by each other, and I think he took his own life because he knew she was going to destroy him and his reputation. Just my take.
Back at Lisa's, they are sampling dinner for the wedding. Pandora does not want housewives drama, the wedding planner is divine, Lisa tries to eat cotton candy like Taylor, but misses the grossness of it, and the caterer is whoring out his company on every surface in the kitchen.
Kyle and Brandi go out for a manicure, just the two of them, since Taylor bailed. I don't trust Kyle. She is back peddling on her bad behavior but who cares? Deeo down she is insincere and not a good friend to anyone other than her sister, and even then not so much.
Brandi talks about her divorce, and then tells Kyle she wants to plan a party for the girls with a porn star come and teach the ladies to orally pleasure their partners. Dear Lord are they for real? Who does that? The skank level is very high in both BH and ATL this week.
Adrienne is having a fashion show and party as her house for her new imitation show line. She is talking to the party planner and is it just me or is Adrienne wearing Mom jeans? They are high and wide, and like all of her wardrobe, out of date by a couple of decades. Such a shame.
Adrienne is getting ready and we find out she has a stylist. Really? He better start clarifying that he only works with her for parties, because if he is putting out her day clothes, he will never get another client. Adrienne clearly is a member of the Kardashian Too Much Makeup Club.
Taylor is in the car with Russell and again I am skipping over it. It is wrong on so many levels that he is on this show, while Taylor tries to ruin his reputation. I know it's been said before, but does Bravo not feel any moral obligation to his children? Clearly they are of no concern to them.
Sidebar: Taylor's dress is perfect, Kyle's dress is embarrassing. Lisa's dress is too small. Brandi's dress is fine. Camille's dress is divine. Kim is a no show. Dana is non-existent and clearly has no real place on this show. She seems fun but it's just not translating to the screen.
Lisa arrives and within a minute of walking through the front door, Adrienne pulls her aside and tells her she is pissed off that the bachelorette party for Pandora is at Planet Hollywood not The Palms. I am finding it hard to deal with Adrienne. She is a baby and needs to grow up.
Camille is my current favorite Beverly Hills housewife. That means nothing really since liking this show is bound to make you crazy and indecisive. I change my mind each week with who I like but for a while Camille has been on top and Klye Has been on the bottom.
The fashion show stars and Adrienne stumbles through her speech. It was as if she did not know what the organization she was supporting did. The fashion show happens, but Adrienne's shoes are hidden under the gowns and the show is an epic fail if you ask me. Where are the shoes?
I watched the entire hour waiting to be entertained, but nothing. Then, just as I'm about to shut off the TV, there is the preview for next week and we see that Taylor is going to be drunk. That my friends will be worth the price of admission. Sadly, we all know that will be good.
I can honestly recall when I used to watch these shows and think the women were great. Now I just think they are pathetic, with a smidge of entertaining thrown in on rare occasions. At the end of the day they are a train wreck and nothing about this show is keeping it real.

This show is the most interesting of the housewives. These ladies live a life that I like to watch because I am unfamiliar with it. The southern and African American aspects are new to me, but the best thing about these women is that unlike any other city in the franchise, they will not pretend to be friends when they are not.
I really love these women and think Phaedra and NeNe are two of the best things to ever happen to reality television. That said, this week was painful. It crossed a lot of lines for me I found myself questioning if I really wanted to invest my time in watching it. Of course I'm not going to stop, but come on Bravo. This was a disgusting show.
We start with Phaedra going to visit Kim. I must question my own sanity when I tell you that Kim is becoming the most appealing woman on this show. How did that happen? Bravo is clearly editing her in a way that will make us like her more so we will watch her new spinoff. It's working. I will watch her show and I think I'll actually like it. Who knew?
Kim calls out Phaedra for the fight at the baby shower and says that Peter, at 65, is too old to be fighting at a party. Hilarious. Meanwhile, Peter is meeting with Mal to work out their issues from the wedding. The exchange was stupid and both were ridiculous. Mal tells Peter that Cynthia wanted to kill herself before the wedding. So lame.
I understand Peter's position about Mal trying to hide the marriage certificate. We all saw her shenanigans, and I get it's her sister and she was worried, but she crossed a line. Mal made a mistake and Peter is angry, but Cynthia is week and needs to stop being such a wimp. These three are a mess and that they allow us to see their dysfunction is odd.
After this many years on television, would you not be careful in what dirty laundry you show the world? This is not the smartest group of ladies. Over with Kandi, she is planning her 35th birthday party. She is with Sheree and Phaedra and between the three of then I sometimes can't tell if they have strong accents or simply do not know how to speak English.
Phaedra Parks needs her own show. She cracks me up and I look forward to her scenes because I know she will say something entertaining. I feel the same way about NeNe. Poor NeNe. She is getting blamed for everything and it's too bad. I like her and think she is getting a raw deal from the ladies. She is sweet and I think she should not trust Kandi.
NeNe and Kandi are shopping for shoes with Derek the hairdresser is wearing the highest heels I've ever seen a man wear. I have never seen so many men in heels as I've seen in Atlanta. God bless them for owning it and strutting their stuff. NeNe is going to go to Kandi's party and she will simply stay away from the people she does not like.
Kim and Kroy are meeting with a nurse to discuss circumcision. Kim says she is worried because her son's penis is his future. Love it. Kroy is changing a diaper on the fake baby and it's very sweet. I really like Kroy and I am happy for Kim. I'm not placing any bets on how long it will last, but I'm pulling for them and think this might be the real thing.
NeNe goes to visit Cynthia and I'm glad they are still friends. I think it's an authentic friendship and that's great. Peter is on the phone and we hear his investor's check has bounced and he is $40k in the hole with his new business. Peter is, for lack of a better word, a loser. Why she married him when there were so many red flags is unclear.
We hear from NeNe that she slept with Gregg and it was great. I want them to be together and so I hope it works out. I don't know where they are at now, or if they are together, but I hope so. Peter is talking to NeNe about how he wanted his wedding day to be perfect and blames Mal for ruining it. Maybe it was his hiding his financial troubles that ruined it?
Sheree takes Phaedra to see the construction on her Chateau. Phaedra seems to have an obsession with butts, and not just hers. For someone who talks about etiquette and manners, she sure is quick to jump to the ass talk. The chateau is coming along slowly and Phaedra lets the contractor know she is watching, and ready for court if he does not hurry up.
Mal and her husband are at Cynthia's new agency. He's gorgeous and Mal is still sulking. Cynthia throws her sister and her marriage under the bus and it's sad. Cynthia is a moron and her sister needs to realize she cannot help her. They remind me of the two sisters in The Bodyguard and Cynthia is Whitney Houston. These two are a mess, but I'm with Mal.
It's time for Kandi's party, but not before we once again have to listen to Kim pee. That is getting old already. Kandi is getting ready and her hair and makeup look horrible. Phaedra shows up, with her taser, and the party is on. Cynthia looks gorgeous then Laurence shows up and it's over. He is the prettiest one there. These men in partial drag are fabulous.
NeNe shows up and the room divides. Sheree says she does not care NeNe is there but she cannot take her eyes off of her. Sheree is talking about how she is a grown up, but she is annoyed and you can tell. Phaedra calls the two groups Crips and Bloods, which is funny. Kandi says she does not like being in the middle, which is funny since she causes so much drama.
Phaedra gives Kandi a stripper for her birthday and this man is beyond description. He is very well endowed and has the ability to pleasure himself due to his rather insane gift. If was nasty, inappropriate in front of Kandi's mom, and a truly ridiculous move on Phaedra's part. However, having him there and watching NeNe's face was worth it.
I would have died if he was brought to a party I was throwing. Seriously bad move. I have no interest in seeing this man's special gifts and Phaedra, the southern belle, should be ashamed of herself. Kandi's mom is pissed off and she storms out of the party. I felt bad for Kandi that she is being cussed out by her mom, but still, I felt bad for Momma Joyce.
This week was a waste of my time and I could have done without it. Next week looks like it will be interesting, if interesting means watching people's lives fall apart. I like these women but they are not fun anymore. They are mean and nasty to each other and don't seem to realize we are watching, and they do not look good. I'm again sad for all of their kids.
The money and fame of reality stardom is enticing, but these women are mothers and that this is what they put out there for their kids to see is mind boggling to me. Can Phaedra be mad when her son becomes a stripper? What about Cynthia when her daughter wants to marry an old man? Time for a reality check so these ladies can start keeping it real.

It has been an interesting week in the blogosphere. I am reeling from what has been written both on my blog and on Twitter. The level of hate and bad behavior that has been caused is quite remarkable. I never would have imagined that I would be faced with such hate.
As a Jewish writer, who writes on a Jewish based website, I have been personally attacked many times. Religion is a dangerous thing to write about as people are committed to their convictions. I am one who believes in faith, and so it is difficult for me when my beliefs are questioned.
In times of trouble I lean on faith. In 45 years of a full and blessed life, God has not asked me to deal with anything I could not manage. I have a relationship with God and he guides me through the challenges of life. Well not guide really, but gently pushes me along the path.
It's usually the right path, but there have been times in my life when I have gone the wrong way and he still pushed me, which is comforting because even though I knew I may be making a mistake, he is with me, watching my back, and there to catch me should I fall, and I have fallen.
Writing Keeping the Faith is something I enjoy and am very proud of. It is my take on the world, and sharing my opinions has been fun, scary, enlightening, educational, and at the end of the day, my truth. My child will be able to look back at these posts and really know me.
I love my child more than I can explain, or even understand. My entire heart is wrapped around this remarkable human being. He is what makes my soul sing. I am able to see God because of him, and I am sure that is how most loving and caring mothers think about their children.
I always wanted to be a mother. It was my childhood dream and there was a time in my life when I thought it would never happen for me. I was the victim of a violent crime and I truly thought my life would not include motherhood. That I am able to be a mother is a miracle.
I have survived many things in my life and am stronger and wiser because of the challenges God has asked me to overcome. I never would have thought in a million years that the one thing that might break my spirit would be a bunch of mean spirited and hate hurling women on the Internet.
Keeping it Real is a blog about television. It's a fun, snarky, sarcastic and entertaining look at a medium that I love. TV is fun to watch, and fun to write about, especially reality television. This week however, it stopped being fun and came dark, nasty, scary and dangerous.
I wrote an expose of sorts on a woman that I feel is crossing the line in terms of reality television blogging. She is mean and hurtful and there are many, many documented cases of her attacking and hurting people in a way that they have not been able to recover from. I had enough.
Maybe it's because I work at a faith based publication, or maybe because I reference faith and God, but people came to me for help. I listened and tried to be supportive as a decent human being, but they needed more from me. These people needed someone to be their voice.
It was with a little hesitation, but belief in doing the right thing, that I wrote the blog. I wanted to help. This is not about a few crazy women with too much time on their hands. This is a network of hate that needs to be stopped. Why are there no rules and regulations for us?
How is it that a woman writing in her basement can randomly select lives to ruin, and have no accountability? My blogs were not intended to hurt, but to help. When given the choice to stand up for the right thing, or be quiet, I chose the only option if I wanted to be true to my faith.
The Talmud tells us "Whoever saves one life saves the world." If I did not try to help women who reached out, how could I explain to God that I turned a blind eye? We also say, "If I am not for myself who will be for me? Yet, if I am for myself only, what am I? And if not now, when?
I am a blogger. This is my job and so I want to stand up for myself and my work, in addition to needing to stand up for those who can't do it for themselves, and it must be now because now is when things are bad. This is my life that is being attacked. My work, my family, my livelihood.
My child has done nothing, yet he is being attacked. I have no criminal record, yet it being said that I do. My employer has supported my voice being heard, and they are being attacked for my blog. It's not okay with me, and while I cannot fight battles for eveyone, I can fight my own.
I am not going to go away or shut up when it comes to these women, and until they are held accountable for ruining the reputation of what I do for a living, and what other women do for work and for fun, I am not going to be quiet. Eventually somebody who can help will listen.
I panicked for a minute, but that has passed. I'm not afraid of bullies, threats, or lawsuits. I am afraid of a world where people can hide behind a computer screen and attack innocent people, and nobody helps the victims. If I can help, just a little, for just one person, I will.
It's time for decency. We all have opinions and should be able to share them without fear. I take responsibility for my part and apologize for any harm I have caused. I imagine this will get worse before it gets better, but know that I am in it now and my goal remains the same. Peace.
This is a blog about television and so it's odd that I would be writing about faith, but I did not know how to address the situation without bringing faith into it as that is how I deal with struggles in my life. It's just television and for it to get this ugly is shocking and wrong on a lot of levels.
I am here to listen and if it means I am to be advocate, then I will do the best I can because there must be rules, regulations and repercussions. At the end of the day this is upsetting, exhausting and unfortunate, but it is happening and so I keeping the faith so I can keep it real.

The finals are finally here and let me just say that it feels like this season has been on forever. It's been fun though and I am happy Ricki and JR are in the finals. If Rob Kardashian, who I actually think is quite sweet, wins this show I will lose my faith in humanity. I get that he has worked hard, but a Kardashian simply cannot take home the coveted trophy.
Ricki danced first and pulled the poor fat me card which was lame. She looks great and needs to let it go. What I didn't know about Ricki is that she is a talk show actor and a host. This information was provided courtesy of Brooke Burke Charvet, who may be the dumbest woman on television. I believe Ricki is an actor and a talk show host. You're welcome Brooke.
Rob dances next and it's just okay. The Kardashian family is cheering him on, including his porn star sister Kim. That she was able to put aside her divorce drama to support her little brother is sweet. By sweet of course I mean I could care less about this family and that they are famous at all is troubling. I have signed the end the Kardashians on TV petition.
JR is next and his dance is just okay, but he is terrific. I just like him so much and Karina is insane. Her body is perfection and I like watching them dance. He came in third in the first round but I'm not counting him out just yet. He is a better dancer than Rob and so I am putting my faith in humanity that JR is not ranked below a Kardashian.
Ricki's freestyle was good, but not great for me. Her costume was nice, and I must say I laughed out loud when Derek told her to shut her face in the video package, but I want something modern and fresh, but this was more classic and old fashioned. It was good, and she could totally win, but the freestyle should be the most exciting dance and this was not.
Rob was up next and his freestyle was slow moving to start and I was bored. It picked up but I was not interested. The song choice was not a winner for me and if the freestyle is what makes a champion, then this lost it for him. Cheryl's final dance with Drew Lachey was perfection, and this was just okay. I don't get why the judges loved it so much. A perfect 30? Really?
JR goes last and I loved his dance. It was fun and fast, which was great, and also had complicated lifts and was very different from the regular dances of the season. He also scored a perfect 30 from the judges and was in my opinion, the winner of the freestyle dance. I want him to win and really hope he kills it tomorrow and comes out the overall winner.
All three of the finalists have a shot at the championship and at this point it's just as much of a popularity contest than a dance competition. I voted for JR to win and I hope he does. He was entertaining and fun all season and if you look at an overall performance, he has deserved it. We'll see what happens tonight. No Kardashian America! Keep it Real!
And the winner is….... JR Martinez. THANK GOD! I wanted him to win from the beginning and I voted for him a lot. I would have been surprised if Rob Kardashian had won. By surprised of course I mean grossed out. Someone tweeted that Rob was on Dancing With The Stars longer than Kim was married, which is hilarious. JR deserved the win and I'm happy for him. It's also nice for Karina who has been there from the beginning and never won. Ricki Lake came in 3rd place which is great, although I thought she would beat out Rob. It was a great season and I enjoyed it. From the very first dance weeks ago, to the show ending with Brooke speaking with her mouth full of confetti, it was fun. I'd like to see Teresa Guidice dancing. Or any housewife really. If they pick another Kardashian I will be annoyed. Until next season, thanks to Tom Bergeron for being fabulous and always keeping it real.

This show gets harder to watch each week. By harder of course I mean with each week there is less to like about any of these women. They are a disgusting group and I am embarrassed for them, since clearly they have no shame. I find them all repulsive but Taylor takes the cake.
This week starts with the end of Lisa's tea party, and Camille putting Taylor's abuse out in the open. I don'tI buy Taylor's broken jaw story and when Camille sold her out she didn't even bat an eyelash. She seemed to be caught in a lie more than anything else.
Camille leaves, Taylor fake cries then makes up with Lisa in a painfully awkward way. Taylor is in need of some serious medication and some acting lessons because her fake crying is laughable. Lisa is sucked into the game, while Kyle is ready to stir the pot at any given moment.
We see Kim moving in with Ken and it's creepy. They seem nervous together and while I want to be happy for her, these two are using together and so any remote chance that I could be on their side is gone. These two need to be on Celebrity Rehab not the Housewives. Not a cute pair.
Over at Kyle's, she is "making" grapes. Really? Who makes grapes? Her pal Faye comes over and I'm surprised by how much she looks like a monkey. She claims to be an abuse specialist and it's stupid. Kyle is a gossip and a drama queen and she is desperate to be relevant.
Lisa's daughter is going to Vegas for her bachelorette party and it is going to be at The Hard Rock Casino. Adrienne is going to be pissed about that. Meanwhile Camille is having lunch with Kyle and Adrienne. Adrienne sticks her tongue out when she drinks and it's disgusting.
I like Camille very much this season. I think Adrienne is a spoiled brat in desperate need of a makeover, and Kyle is a busybody who has a boring life and is in desperate need of fame. Kyle, much like the last bachelorette Ashley, is always picking her teeth with her tongue.
It's time for Kennedy's 5th birthday party. This child never seems to be happy which is sad. That Taylor is putting on this fake and pretentious party for her child is disgusting. She is a fame whore who married for money and cares about nothing but how fabulous her life looks.
The party is ridiculous and a kid does not care about all this crap. Give them some candy, a cake, a couple of friends and some bubbles and they are good to go. This was for the cameras and I'm ashamed for her. Another ridiculous thing about this party was Dana. She can go.
Can someone, anyone, explain to me why Taylor does not wear a bra? Ace Young from American Idol, a million years ago, is there and he is apparently hammered. He cannot sing, needs to wash his hair, and is flirting with Taylor. Taylor is a skank, and by skank of course I mean whore.
Lisa is planning Pandora's wedding and once again in a dress that is too small. They are choosing invitations and the one they love is ugly. Wedding planner Kevin Lee is back and he is fabulous. Lisa is planning the party as if it's for her and try as she might to seem real, she is fake.
Watching Russell at the birthday party is sad. We will never know what really happened in their marriage, and we certainly can't trust Taylor's side of the story, but I cannot look at this show and not blame her. I truly believe her appearance on this show is what did him in.
Brandi shows up to the party and it's awkward. I like her but this show was a mistake for her, and they don't take her seriously, but if one of the new chicks is going to come back, let it be Brandi. She is fun and Dana is forgettable. If given a chance, Brandi could be great.
Taylor is bitching about Camille to Kyle and Kyle is listening intently so she can then gossip about it later. Taylor is crazy. She says she never should have shared personal information with Camille, but the fact is she shared it with all the ladies and with us. This is her fault.
Adrienne arrives in a shirt that looks like she made it herself. As we predicted, she is pissed off that Lisa is planning the bachelorette party at planet Hollywood not The Palms. Who cares? Kyle is worried about all the infighting in the group. Right. She's happy as can be.
Kim is talking about her Disney life, again, when Brandi goes over to say hi. The music is hilarious. It's a gunfight at the saloon and I can't stop laughing. Brandi tries to make peace but Kim is a bitch. She's still mad at Brandi for putting her drug addiction out on the table.
Sidebar: I wonder if an addiction to crystal meth can cause you to mistake the sound of a horse for the sound of a cat. Kim is an Arabian horse who meows. I love Kim and she is entertaining as hell but this poor girl needs to get some help. I feel sad for her and wish her well.
That this show continues to paint Russell as a monster is pathetic. For Dana to bash Russell is sad since she told me they were friends. I worry for Kennedy that she will grow up and see her mother ruined the reputation of her father. She might hate her mom when she grows up.
Ace sings for Kennedy and it's a crap fest. He sounded horrible and the song was stupid. Are they kidding? Ace is wasted and cannot hold a note. Kennedy could care less about this mess her mother has put on for her. Then Taylor and Russell give Kennedy a horse for a present.
Sidebar: Ellen Barkin on Watch what happens Live was perfection and I freaking love her. She is a real Real Housewife of New York city and those trolls could learn something from her. By troll of course I mean Ramona. Rock on Ellen. You can follow her @ellenbarkin and me @ilanaangel.
Dear Lord. I want to scream. The only thing crazier than Taylor talking about her life is listening to Kyle talk about Taylor's life. Other than Camille, I don't like any of the women this year. This show is a clusterf*%$ and I hate that I watch it. Nobody is keeping it real.

We start off this week with Sheree and her new house. How in the world does this woman have enough money to build a "chateau" in a fancy shmancy neighborhood? Furthermore, how drunk does she think we all are that we believe she was born anywhere near 1975? She is a loon, and focusing on the "necessities" only, like a library, ballroom, massage room and theater. Dear Lord this woman is too much.
Over at Phaedra's, she went from being pregnant and certain she would whoop her child, to being so desperately in love with her baby that she can't bear to hear him cry. She is super cute with her son, who I must say is absolutely delicious. That is one beautiful baby. Meanwhile Apollo is now the strict one with the baby. He is also getting into a little trouble, which is a shame and shouldn't be a big deal.
He was stopped because the cops thought he was someone else, but in the end he has a criminal past and so every time something routine happens, it's blown out of proportion. I feel bad for him because he is trying to live a life that society does not think he deserves to be living, and that is a lot of pressure. I do not know what his issues from the past are, but they are weighing heavy on him and his marriage.
Over at Cynthia's house, she is having dinner with her daughter, her impossibly handsome baby daddy Leon, and her really creepy husband Peter. We find out that Peter is going to open another bar. He tells us he is good at it, but we already know he sucks at it, so whatever. There is still friction between Cynthia's mom, sister and Peter, but he could care less. There is something very unsettling about Peter.
Kim is having lunch with Sheree and lets us know that other than their fight in the street when Sheree tried to pull off her wig, they are tight and have been for a decade. Whatever. Kim is only friendly with Sheree because she does not have a friendship with NeNe. Kim is talking about her new house and Sheree is clearly jealous. I don't get these two chicks or their convenient and forced friendship.
NeNe is getting her son ready to go to his dad's for the weekend. Her son is very sweet and I wanted to hug him. I really like NeNe and even though there is a backlash against her, I still like her and she is my favorite Atlanta housewife. It was sad to watch her stand on the front porch and see her son leave. I find myself wanting to hug NeNe too. I hope she comes out of this happy, healthy and whole.
Phaedra and Kandi are shopping for a baby shower gift for and Kandi once again is a passive aggressive gossip. She tries to make us think she does not want to get involved, or care about other people's business, but she is all up in their crap like her life depends on it. Kandi is a gossip and totally fake. She went from the classy one, to the trashy one and I don't care for her too much. She smiles while she stabs you in the back.
It's the day of Kim's baby shower, and she has invited 130 of her closest friends to celebrate with her and Kroy, who by the way is truly fabulous with Kim's daughter's. It's very cute to see and again let me say that is one yummy little dog. The shower is over the top and pretentious, even for Kim. Before I go on, let's just take a moment to say that the yellow tri-color stands of her wig are beyond ugly. Seriously ugly.
Kandi shows up at the shower and we hear she has not spoken to Kim for her entire pregnancy. Not surprising since we know Kandi is not really a good friend. Phaedra points out Kim was very judgmental of her shower, yet went even more pretentious for herself. Meow. Poor Phaedra has to listen to Kim's dad pitch himself for a job and God love her, Phaedra has perfect manners. I freaking love this chick.
Kandi is stirring the pot, again with Sheree by talking about Cynthia. We hear that Poppa Smurf Peter gave an interview and trashed all the ladies. Cynthia and Peter arrive for the last 20 minutes, didn't bring a gift and you know things are going to get ugly. I like the ugly stuff with these chicks. Phaedra and Sheree are calling Peter out on all the crap he said in the interview and Peter is not backing apologizing.
Apollo is pissed off that Peter disrespected his wife and is clearly annoyed, then Peter brings up the incident with Apollo and the police and it is on. Peter is being a total ass and poor Apollo is trying hard to stay in control, and it's sad. I feel bad for Apollo and think Peter is a schmuck. Cynthia is clearly embarrassed and the cops are now in the room. Apollo was great and I loved him tonight. Peter, not so much.
The promos for this week were much more entertaining than the actual show, but it was still good. A party is never the same without Nene and it's sad that Kim did not invite her. I don't get how she is friends with Sheree and not NeNe. They will make up eventually and NeNe will have been left out. I like these girls but how they treat each other is sad and immature. They need to grow up and start keeping it real.

Hard to believe this season is almost over. It's gone by fast. Probably because there were so many people I didn't care about, that seeing them get the boot went by in a steady flow. The final four was a mix of expected and surprises. I picked JR and Ricki to be in the finals week one, but am totally surprised that Rob Kardashian and Hope Solo are still in it.
I think Maks is an ass, and Hope is boring, so I wanted them to go early. Hope was not a great dancer so she should is lucky she hung on. I think Rob is a fame whore, and his sister Kim is a regular whore, so I didn't care if he went home either. The difference between Rob and Hope is that Rob can actually dance, so it makes sense Hope was sent packing.
Important to note that even though I am happy Hope finally got the boot, watching the video about her childhood made me cry. She is an inspiration and hero to little kids who are going through family struggles. She proves that you can create your own destiny and become whatever you want. I think her dancing sucks, but she is an amazing human being and I admire her.
Sidebar: I just want to put it out there that I don't think the singers on this show are very good. I get that they learn new songs each week, and it's a hard job, but there is a homeless guy on the corner of Laurel Canyon and Ventura singing Christmas carols, and he sounds better. There are millions of unemployed and talented singers in LA and it's time for a change.
Let's just talk about the Kardashians for another minute. I'm not a fan. Even their voices annoy me, but with that said, I think Khloe is hilarious, the best of the bunch, and the only one worthy of a TV show as she really is quite entertaining. Kourteney is useless, the two little ones are boring, Kris is insane and Kim is a porn star, with no clear talent, even in bed.
There is a large backlash building on the Internet to get rid of the Kardashian family on television. Petitions, and letter writing campaigns, which all stem from Kim and her fake marriage for money. I almost feel bad for them but in the end I don't. They had a nice run and managed to turn their 15 minutes into what seems like forever, so they should be proud.
With that said, I really like Rob Kardashian. I didn't in the beginning, but he has won me over. He is so sweet, and trying so hard, and he has earned his spot in the finals. I am so happy he is there. For him to make it is quite remarkable. He started the show getting votes because of his family, and now he is in the finals in spite of his family. Bravo Rob.
I can't write about Dancing With The Stars without commenting on Brooke. I cannot stand her voice, her stupid questions, her lack of personality and apparently missing sense of humor. If we learned one thing this season, it was that the co-host of DWTS should be Carson Kressley. He is an entertainer, funny, charming, smart and the only real choice.
The four young men who were the spotlight performers were really good and their video package was great. I was proud of them and hope they had the best time. As for The Muppets, they are perfection. I have always loved the Muppets and it's so great that a new generation of kids will get to know and love them, and us old timers can have them back.
The finals are set with Ricki Lake, JR Martinez, and Rob Kardashian. I think this is a great group and next week will be fun because they can all dance. I'm ready for this season to be over, but I've enjoyed it. The mirrored ball trophy could go to any of the finalists and that will make it fun to watch. I'm wonder if Kim will come for Rob. Probably not, that would be keeping it real.

Browsing Research articles (Dept of Geology) by Author "Milesi, J.P."
Now showing items 1-3 of 3
Cailteux, J.L.H.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Lerouge, C.; Kaputo, A.K.; Milesi, J.P. (Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/jafrearsci, NaN, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: The Neoproterozoic central African Copperbelt is one of the greatest sediment-hosted stratiform Cu–Co provinces in the world, totalling 140 Mt copper and 6 Mt cobalt and including several world-class deposits (P10 Mt copper). The origin of Cu–Co mineralisation in this province remains speculative, with the debate centred around syngenetic–diagenetic and hydrothermal-diagenetic hypotheses. The regional distribution of metals indicates that most of the cobalt-rich copper deposits are hosted in dolomites and dolomitic shales forming allochthonous units exposed in Congo and known as Congolese facies of the Katangan sedimentary succession (average Co:Cu = 1:13). The highest Co:Cu ratio (up to 3:1) occurs in ore deposits located along the southern structural block of the Lufilian Arc. The predominantly siliciclastic Zambian facies, exposed in Zambia and in SE Congo, forms para-autochthonous sedimentary units hosting ore deposits characterized by lower a Co:Cu ratio (average 1:57). Transitional lithofacies in Zambia (e.g. Baluba, Mindola) and in Congo (e.g. Lubembe) indicate a gradual transition in the Katangan basin during the deposition of laterally correlative clastic and carbonate sedimentary rocks exposed in Zambia and in Congo, and are marked by Co:Cu ratios in the range 1:15. The main Cu–Co orebodies occur at the base of the Mines/Musoshi Subgroup, which is characterized by evaporitic intertidal–supratidal sedimentary rocks. All additional lenticular orebodies known in the upper part of the Mines/Musoshi Subgroup are hosted in similar sedimentary rocks, suggesting highly favourable conditions for the ore genesis in particular sedimentary environments. Prelithification sedimentary structures affecting disseminated sulphides indicate that metals were deposited before compaction and consolidation of the host sediment. The ore parageneses indicate several generations of sulphides marking syngenetic, early diagenetic and late diagenetic processes. Sulphur isotopic data on sulphides suggest the derivation of sulphur essentially from the bacterial reduction of seawater sulphates. The mineralizing brines were generated from sea water in sabkhas or hypersaline lagoons during the deposition of the host rocks. Changes of Eh–pH and salinity probably were critical for concentrating copper–cobalt and nickel mineralisation. Compressional tectonic and related metamorphic processes and supergene enrichment have played variable roles in the remobilisation and upgrading of the primary mineralisation. There is no evidence to support models assuming that metals originated from: (1) Katangan igneous rocks and related hydrothermal processes or; (2) leaching of red beds underlying the orebodies. The metal sources are pre-Katangan continental rocks, especially the Palaeoproterozoic low-grade porphyry copper deposits known in the Bangweulu block and subsidiary Cu–Co–Ni deposits/occurrences in the Archaean rocks of the Zimbabwe craton. These two sources contain low grade ore deposits portraying the peculiar metal association (Cu, Co, Ni, U, Cr, Au, Ag, PGE) recorded in the Katangan sediment-hosted ore deposits. Metals were transported into the basin dissolved in water. The stratiform deposits of Congo and Zambia display features indicating that syngenetic and early diagenetic processes controlled the formation of the Neoproterozoic Copperbelt of central Africa.

Abstract: This paper is prepared within the frameworks of IGCP Project 470 and the associated BRGM scientific project ''Africa 1999–2004'' to accompany the 1:4,000,000 scale map ''Geology and major ore deposits of Central Africa, presented at the 20th Colloquium of African Geology in Orleans in June 2004. It incorporates geological and metallogenic data from eight countries in Central Africa (Angola, Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Congo Brazzaville, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Equatorial Guinea and Zambia). The map is a harmonised and geo-referenced preliminary map, based on a GIS at 1:2,000,000 scale, and focusses on the spatial and temporal distribution of selected major deposits.

Abstract: Luiswishi is a Congo-type Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted stratiform Cu–Co ore deposit of the Central Africa Copperbelt, located northwest of Lubumbashi (DRC). The ores form two main Cu–Co orebodies hosted by the Mines Subgroup, one in the lower part of the Kamoto Formation and the other at the base of the Dolomitic Shales Formation. Sulphides occur essentially as early parallel layers of chalcopyrite and carrolite, and secondarily as late stockwork sulphides cross-cutting the bedding and the early sulphide generation. Both types of stratiform and stockwork chalcopyrite and carrolite were systematically analyzed for sulphur isotopes, along the lithostratigraphic succession of the Mine Series. The quite similar d34S values of stratiform sulphides and late stockwork sulphides suggest an in situ recrystallization or a slight remobilization of stockwork sulphides without attainment of isotopic equilibrium between different sulphide phases (chalcopyrite and carrolite). The distribution of d34S values ( 14.4& to +17.5&) combined with the lithology indicates a strong stratigraphic control of the sulphur isotope signature, supporting bacterial sulphate reduction during early diagenesis of the host sediments, in a shallow marine to lacustrine environment. Petrological features combined with sulphur isotopic data of sulphides at Luiswishi and previous results on nodules of anhydrite in the Mine Series indicate a dominant seawater/lacustrine origin for sulphates, precluding a possible hydrothermal participation. The high positive d34S values of sulphides in the lower orebody at Luiswishi, hosted in massive chloritic–dolomitic siltite (known as Grey R.A.T.), fine-grained stratified dolostone (D.Strat.) and silicified-stromatolitic dolomites alternating with chloritic–dolomitic silty beds (R.S.F.), suggest that they were probably deposited during a period of regression in a basin cut off from seawater. The variations of d34S values (i.e. the decrease of d34S values from the Kamoto Formation to the overlying Dolomitic Shales and then the slight increase from S.D.2d to S.D.3a and S.D.3b members) are in perfect agreement with the inferred lithological and transgressive–regressive evolution of the ore-hosting sedimentary rocks [Cailteux, J., 1994.

NYU.edu is larger than the previous version – 360 pixels wider to be precise. As monitors get larger so do their aspect ratios, the 960 pixel width offers University authors the ability to use more dynamic content and the site viewer more opportunity to view that content. It also changed our design and visual styles.
Design Foundations
The look of the NYU.edu reflects back on previous versions but looks forward to a more Web 2.0 design that is clean and free of too many flourishes, allowing the content to take the spotlight. After all NYU.edu would not exist if it were not for the content and work done at the university.
There was a process of a number of months to investigate the best design to meet all of the targeted needs and audiences. What has evolved is a strong foundation for the next chapter in NYU's online presence.
