Darlene Ortiz was with Ice T for 17 years, beginning with his early days hustlin' on the streets and his subsequent rise to fame. In Definition of Down: My Life with Ice T & the Birth of Hip Hop, she tells how hip hop started, with intimate glimpses into their daily life and stories about their climb to the top and all the rappers who got their start in those times.
©2015 Darlene Ortiz (P)2015 Darlene Ortiz
Great telling of her story. Enjoyed the audible version because you can hear her honesty.
"Heartfelt Story "
Great heartfelt story. Darlene is beautiful inside and out. A genuine perspective on the history of hip hop as well as personal and family relationships. I enjoyed the stories about the Comfort Inn, Charmers, the Porshe, fake resume, purple thong, tour hoes and overall history of hip hop. Good story about loyalty and integrity.
"Beautiful Soul!"
I got a glimpse of the story of a beautiful woman who possess a beautiful soul! Great read!
"Great Story."
Well narrated story. The authors story moved me as a man to consider a woman's perspective on a rise to fame and the aftermath. Long live the Queen.
"Lovely lady Cool Darlene!! (LL Cool D!!)"
I love the book and it was great to understand that Darlene was raised by these two good men and quite frankly I think she came out a 110 percent good strong woman. I see a lot of her on C Hulcombs 5150 Show and I love it. To see how she can keep up with the fellas is a small bit of proof of the woman she has grown to be and I'm sure what we see in the public is a very small picture of who Miss OG Darlene Ortiz really is. They say a real good love only comes around once in life time which is a statement I don't necessarily believe. I really hope she finds real love again.Much love to her and her family, much respect and great book Darlene. You are definitely an accurate definition of being down. True love from your fan Shawn, Peace Love and Happiness to you D.
"pretty good"
I enjoyed learning more about Darlene and ice tea. I learned many things that I did not know. She is really the definition of down. Really good book.
"Powerful the true character of a good woman."
They just don't make women like this anymore. So many guys would give their left arm to have her.
"Worth a listen 5150 Nation"
Good listen. Wish she had edited out the
mistakes for a smooth listen. Also would have been nice to review the pictures in the book while she talks about how the pic happened. But overall a good listen.👌👍
"A great love story, movie material!"
very easy to get through. you can feel her love throughout the book she keeps it classy.
"True testament of devotion and loyalty"
I've long admired Darlenes' strength courage and beauty, not to mention her cemented place in the history of hiphop, following her story, I was/am so impressed and touched by her ability to weather so many challenges early in her life to become a truly classy and empowered woman, many females of today's generation can admire and learn from her story what it truly means to be committed to your family, you man and your children and still be sexy smart and powerful. 5150 nation supports D 100%!

We can all agree that exercise is important to our physical health, but more than that, it can create more positivity, less stress and increase levels of happiness.
This shows a direct link between a happy life and the amount of exercise done.
It can't be said that exercise is needed to live a life of abundant happiness but who can say they don't feel better after a run (after the initial breathlessness and aches and pains wear off).
It goes deeper than a physical happiness though. With feeling good about yourself being an underrated phenomenon in today's society, we are focusing more on short term psychological gain rather than long term.
Snacking between meals, eating more than you need, may feel satisfying at the time but looking at the future, deep down we know these things won't help us in the long term.
Today's society, however, glorifies the quick fix, and the instant gratification. This, combined with the easier option means our bodies take the brunt of the strain as exercise becomes the last thing on our mind. It is essential however, and more so than we even realise, to physically look after our bodies. Not only does it mean a better and longer future, but if recent research is correct, then a happier one too.

Great product! I had a big problem with squirrels going around my plants and even eating some of them. Now they pass straight by it. The smell is really strong so I suggest you don't have guests in that day.

Mayo Clinic Grows Research Footprint to Fuel Urban Bioresearch Campus
Discovery Square will more than double Mayo's current footprint to deliver new cures, accelerated through collaboration and also promote business growth
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic announced the next major step in realizing Destination Medical Center's (DMC) vision of creating Discovery Square, a first-of-its-kind urban bioresearch campus that brings together renowned physicians, researchers, scientists and entrepreneurs to address unmet patient needs in an ultramodern setting for science innovation. Mayo Clinic is initiating a process to identify a strategic real estate development firm to expand its Rochester, Minnesota, campus by building more than 2 million square feet on Mayo Clinic-owned land as research, commercial and product development space over the next 20 years. This is in addition to Mayo's current research footprint in Rochester of 1.3 million square feet. Discovery Square, which will include Mayo and other private businesses, is a key milestone for DMC, the largest public-private partnership in Minnesota state history, and one of the largest economic development initiatives in the U.S.
"At Mayo Clinic, we feel that we have a responsibility to bring forward discoveries that will deliver hope and better health to people around the world," says John Noseworthy, M.D., Mayo Clinic president and chief executive officer. "There is no better way to stimulate innovation than through collaboration, which has been part of the Mayo culture for over 150 years. We're looking forward to welcoming businesses, medical innovators and researchers from around the world to Discovery Square who will work together to accelerate advances in bioscience, research, education and technology for health and wellness."

Mayo Clinic's total research budget in 2015 was more than $662 million. This total includes $281 million of Mayo-based funding and $381 million of external funding.
"World-leading research drives everything we do for patients at Mayo Clinic," says Gregory Gores, M.D., executive dean for Research at Mayo Clinic. "From providing the best individualized care to addressing the world's most challenging health care problems, Mayo researchers relentlessly pursue discoveries that benefit people today and for generations to come. The addition of Discovery Square will extend that commitment by creating a new discovery science platform for innovators to collaborate with Mayo Clinic."

Well Living Lab opens during Mayo Clinic Transform 2015
Delos®, Mayo Clinic collaborate on first ever, human-centered research center
dedicated to creating healthier indoor spaces
Rochester, Minn. (September 30, 2015)— Exposure to indoor environments is at an all-time high. In fact, Americans spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors, whether at home, work, school, retail stores, fitness centers, health care facilities and more. But what many people don't realize is that buildings, and everything in them, can affect human health and well-being. Today marked the opening of the Well Living Lab, a new research facility dedicated to studying these environments and creating healthier indoor spaces in which to live, work and play.
"There is a growing awareness and body of scientific evidence that indoor, built environments can affect human health and well-being, with the perception often being that indoor environments have a negative impact on health," said Brent Bauer. M.D., medical director of the Well Living Lab and professor of medicine for Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program. "But new knowledge shows that by building healthier indoor environments, we can actually preserve and enhance human health and quality of life."

Mayo Clinic launches 'YOU ARE … THE CAMPAIGN FOR MAYO CLINIC' to perpetuate medical care research and education
Philanthropic effort supports patient-inspired innovations
ROCHESTER, Minn. — To accelerate the pace of research, solve unmet needs of patients and improve the quality of health care, Mayo Clinic today announced a philanthropic campaign to raise $3 billion by Dec. 31, 2017, strengthening Mayo's strategic priorities in patient care, research and education.
"Reliable funding is the biggest barrier to advance medical breakthroughs that can benefit patients suffering from diseases," says John Noseworthy, M.D., Mayo Clinic president and CEO. "Traditional funding sources, such as federal grants, cannot cover the cost of discovering cutting-edge science and implementing those solutions in clinical practice."
A focal point for the campaign is biomedical research. For example, funding will allow scientists and researchers to apply healthy tissues to regenerate and cure diseased organs; find trusted answers on diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease based on an individual's genome and harness Mayo's collective knowledge to improve the cost-effective delivery of quality health care.
Destination Medical Center (DMC) Selects Subconsultant Team

- Master Planner – EE&K, a Perkins Eastman Company

- Transportation Planner – NelsonNygaard Consulting Associates
- Market Analysis and Economic-Fiscal Consultant – AECOM
"This world-class team of planners brings a broad base of experience with projects globally, nationally and throughout the state of Minnesota," says Lisa Clarke, interim executive director, Destination Medical Center Economic Development Agency.
The subconsultants were evaluated based on the selection process approved by the Destination Medical Center Corporation (DMCC). Selections were made based on the experience of the firm, capabilities of the team proposed, knowledge of the market, and strength of their response to the request for proposal among other factors.

"Expanding our reach is not a new goal for us," says John Noseworthy, M.D., Mayo Clinic president and CEO. "In fact, as we consider our history, growth has been a constant for 150 years."

I was shocked by how much I enjoyed this film. The pacing goes quite
well between the bloody confrontations and "Oh Sh*t" drama between the
characters. They take their time fully developing a few characters so
that you actually care about what happens to them, while giving them
ample flaws so that their terrible choices don't come out of left
field. Getting to know the serial killer was especially intriguing,
humanizing him somewhat when he's not in his element, the awkward
real-life situations were a good parallel to the menacing silhouette
that terrorizes innocent couples.
The comedy, on the other hand,was low key and sometimes very clever. There are a lot of asides to other famous horror movies and some very meta humor if you get all the references. One scene in particular starts at the end of filming the movie in the movie, then transitions into famous scenes from other horror movies before coming full circle. Mind. Blasted.
It's not that scary, it's not outwardly hilarious, but it is THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING and a good *ss time.

Bassist Alex Blake, who wowed the crowd with his seated, heavily percussive upright bass attack. Though Weston and guest Candido, conguero supremo, were the top billing, Blake stole the show with his unique approach.
Blake's remarkable soloing on African Sunrise employed every imaginable aspect of his instrument. Tapping on the wood, strumming, sliding his fingers up and down the strings, scatting along with his bass lines, he displayed incredible virtuosity combined with inventive musicality in a fashion that was stunningly entertaining.

He has established himself as a popular and successful teacher for his very special style of teaching. The similar style of presentation has been reflected in this book. Human neuroanatomy deals with the study of anatomy of human nervous system. Nervous system is considered as 'master system' of the body which regulates the functions of other systems.

Disclaimer: I'd expect royalties if I owned Naruto. Which I don't.
Her team stared at her.
"What," she said flatly, "It was for a mission."
Tenten had been assigned yet another undercover mission, a ridiculously easy one in her opinion. She had met a spy for the exchange of certain documents that the local police at a nearby civilian village had been desperate to obtain in order to charge and apprehend the members of a syndicate, and the exchange had taken place, very conveniently, at a grand masquerade party the silly crime lord had thrown in his mansion. Since everyone had been in disguise, it had been a breeze for Tenten to mingle and obtain the necessary documents. She had just gotten back, and decided she would be able to make it for her team's early morning training. She thought the costume she wore was practical enough to withstand some sparring, and it wasn't too outlandish.
Come to think of it, Shizune and Tsunade had been the ones to suggest this outfit. They had been smiling too. Again. Tenten was beginning to label these her 'smiley missions' because of the joy it seemed to give the Hokage to play dress up with Tenten when she got sent undercover.
"Tenten," Lee blinked, "Are those cat ears?"
"Hm? Oh," she reached up and plucked off the two furry triangles attached to her buns. Shizune had been the one to add this detail, a little too gleefully, as Tenten recalled. "Yep. I bet my whiskers are still painted on too huh?"
"Tenten," Gai said very seriously. "Your mission went well?"
"Of course, it was a simple C-class," she shrugged.
"You were wearing what you are wearing now?" he prodded. There was an odd glisten to his eyes that made her worry. "Yes, sensei."
"What you wore, in fact, is what enabled you to complete your mission?" he seemed to be going somewhere with this, but Tenten couldn't see where, yet.
"Yes, it was part of what I had to do for the mission to work. The Hokage didn't want me to use chakra to henge, since they had some security that could sense that sort of thing."
She looked down at herself. "I'm supposed to be someone called Catwoman. From a comic book. It's pretty cool, right?"
"It is COOL, you say," boomed Gai, and they all saw it, tears at the corners of his eyes, "Tenten, I KNEW you would finally come around. Do you not see? It is a skintight black jumpsuit!!!! You are a Beautiful Black Beast of Konoha!!!"
"Yosh!" Lee cried out, "She is indeed, Gai-sensei! She has almost become one of us! Oh, Tenten, will you not now wear the green--"
Lee and her sensei wept, as Tenten stomped away from the training grounds to get changed.
It was hard to stomp in four-inch heels, she quickly discovered. Throughout her mission, in fact, she had had to struggle with a desperate sort of shimmy to keep her balance while walking around the mansion. It had drawn too much male attention to her butt, for some reason, and not a few whistles and, what irony, catcalls had sounded throughout the ballroom.
A couple of shinobi were likewise stopping in their tracks as she passed them, some commenting loudly on what an improvement on the Jounin uniform she was wearing. She whirled around at Genma and cracked her whip at him when he tried to pull her tail.
"Easy, pussycat," he grinned while she mock-hissed at him. Then he backed away a few paces, and walked briskly away after a quick wave to her. She turned to see Neji almost immediately behind her.
"What," she muttered again, "I hope you're not here to tease me. I am NOT wearing a black version of Lee's jumpsuit. It's totally different!" she passed her hand over the shiny black material along the side of her body to emphasize her point, "YOU don't think it's like Lee's, right?" she asked, looking up at him hopefully.
"Not. At. All," his voice sounded strangely strangled. And he looked very, very angry, for some reason. "I'll walk you home."
"Huh," she considered it, somewhat grateful that she had an excuse to stop walking for a moment while they talked. She had intended to remove the stilleto heels when she started training, but the Green Beasts had driven it out of her mind and she didn't want to sit on the curb to take them off now. They were pretty hard to remove too, being thigh-highs.
"I might not go on as many A-class missions as you Neji, but I think I can make it to my own house safely alone," she gave him a wry look, "Shouldn't you be training?"
"They were set on making ME wear the green jumpsuit," Neji said, in a way that implied it was somehow HER fault for setting them off like that, "Let's stick together Tenten, there's no telling when they'll try to ambush us separately."
"Oh, so it's for YOUR peace of mind," Tenten nodded sagely, "Well, I suppose I'll indulge you this time," they smirked at each other. She turned around and began to walk again, he half-heard her mumbling about having to swivel her hips so much just to retain her balance.
"Tenten." She looked over her shoulder at him questioningly.
"Could you, perhaps, henge into your normal attire while we walk to your place?" she wondered at the request, but obliged. She hadn't really spent much chakra during the mission. Unbeknownst to her, he activated his Byakugan as they walked together, so he was the only one who could see through the henge.
"Thanks for walking me home anyway, I just realized," she sighed, and felt the material strain at her chest, it was that tight, "You'll need to help me peel this thing off when we get some privacy. I almost had to forego underwear, the way it clings."
"Neji? Neji!" He had fainted dead away.
A/N: Should I have made a disclaimer for Catwoman as well? Heh. Happy Halloween!

Gastonia FD: House fire started in kitchen causes $10,000 in damage
GASTONIA - The Gastonia Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 1415 Rankin Ave. on Sunday afternoon.
Firefighters arrived on the scene of a one-story home with smoke showing from the front.
They entered the house and found a fire in the kitchen that had spread to the walls and attic.
Gastonia firefighters had the fire put out in about 10 minutes and had a total of 20 personnel on the scene. No injuries were reported, and fire damages are estimated at $10,000. The fire started on the stove.
The Red Cross will provide assistance for displaced occupants.
Officials recommend the public follow a few guidelines while preparing meals. First, keep anything that can catch fire --such as oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging and towels -- away from the stove top.
Always stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling or boiling food. If you have to leave the kitchen, turn off the stove. Last, officials advise when simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly and remain in the home while cooking. Use a timer as a reminder.
If you have a cooking fire leave the house and call 911. Keep a lid nearby when cooking to smother small grease fires. For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed.

With the Vikings' poor start to the 2011 season, there has been a lot of self-evaluation among the players. Linebacker Chad Greenway is among those looking internally as the Vikings try to stop the slide and get the season back on track.
The problems that plague the Vikings have forced the team to get back to improving at the most basic levels – an approach that have been borne out of the team's current struggles.
"I think the biggest thing is just trying to focus on practice – getting better and improving day by day," Greenway said. "If you can do that, then you've got to try to eventually get over that hump and turn close losses into wins."
The problem, as Greenway sees it, is to translate the progress being made on a daily basis at practice onto the field. He said the team was encouraged by having a chance to beat the Packers last Sunday, but said that moral victories have to start changing into actual wins on the field and that the team is moving in that direction.
"We're doing our best to correct the mistakes, but they keep showing up on game day," Greenway said. "It's more about how we're playing – 11 guys playing together."
Greenway said he sees a lot of similarities in the Vikings and the Panthers. While Carolina is 2-5, the team has energized its fan base with the exciting play of a rookie quarterback and the ability to challenge for a win in each of its seven games. While the progress being made has yet to translate into a winning streak, it is moving in the right direction – even if the improvements are being measured in baby steps.
"The biggest thing is that all the games they've lost they've been in," Greenway said. "They're in the same position or at least similar position that we've been in. They just have to get over the hump and win a couple of games."
Greenway said the reality of the Vikings 2011 season is that they have dug themselves a hole that is likely too deep to get out of to make a legitimate playoff run. With just one win through seven games, the Vikings are closer to being a team in position for a premium draft pick in April than a playoff spot. But he added that nobody is looking ahead to 2012. There is still half a season remaining to get the franchise on track. The Vikings believe they can salvage something positive from a season that, to date, has been noted by a lot more negative.
Greenway said that, despite their record, the Vikings are making headway moving forward and that the process isn't going to get sidetracked. The rest of the season starts Sunday against the Panthers and the Vikings will be trying to play some inspired football from here on through.
"You always have hope," Greenway said. "We're pushing it to the next week and trying to string some wins together. We absolutely have hope and we're going to keep fighting."
John Holler has been writing about the Vikings for more than a decade for Viking Update. Follow Viking Update on Twitter and discuss this story on our subscriber message board.
