Onyx Biography
Source: http://www.defjam.com/artists/onyx/onyx.html
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Almost six years after the fervent introduction of one of music's most emphatic Rap groups, remnants of a post-bald headed hysteria and hoarse-throated deliverance left in the wake of a multi-platinum debut opus entitled Bacdafucup have continued to resurface atop Hip-Hop's ever--metamorphosing and fleeting waters.
However, not since the primal unified chants of 1992's potent "Throw your Gunz," has a group, so convincingly, been able to capture the raw rage of ghetto angst and translate It into a musical relevance for the world to see than Onyx. Started off in the chairs of a small Queens barber shop in '91, the beginnings of a new rejuvenated Hip-Hop renaissance were well underway. From collaborating on rhymes while cutting hair to battling potential contenders on line at such clubs as the Building and Red Zone, Onyx honed and developed their collective talents at every opportunity they had, a practice which eventually caught the discerning eye of the legendary Jam Master Jay.
Complete with an album's worth of material, Onyx were introduced to Jay and subsequently signed to a record single at JMJ Records, which extended to an EP, and ultimately led to the climactic producing of Bacdufucup Selling over two million copies, Onyx 's debut album forcefully grabbed the industry by its reigns and steered it Into new grounds of Hip-Hop potency. Receiving wide-spread industry adulation for their spirited and reveling music, Onyx captured Soul Train 's Best Rap Album honors that year by beating out Dr. Dre's would-be classic The Chronic and slamdancing themselves on stage to accept their award.
Riding the amazing success of Bacdafucup, Onyx spent the next two years on tour, showcasing their unparalleled and uncompromising energetic stage show for millions of newly-dedicated fans. Performing along side the likes of Hip-Hop greats such as KRS-ONE and Run-DMC, Onyx was quickly boosted into an elite level of stardom usually reserved for the most revered and tenured of artists. Overwhelmed by their newly-found fame and success, coming off the high of touring and being embraced around the world, the group felt the need to put things back into perspective. As Sonee explains: "The fast pace of the rap game had us all wild and not really thinking.
Right off the tour we came back and that's when you saw the realness around you again. We all had to sit back and think and get things clear." A realness which was captured in Onyx's introspective and dark follow-up gold album All We Got Iz Us. Manifested in the sophomore LP's first single "Last Days," a matured Onyx presented an ominous outlook at everyday reality that not only reflected the group's grounded perspective but provided for uncoated, hard-to-swallow truths throughout the industry. In between recording the second album, Onyx's charismatic panache and believable grittiness were recognized by outside industries as well, as the group's acting avenues began to flourish.
Aside from appearances by Sticky and Fredro in such major releases as HBO's "Strapped," and Spike Lee's "Clockers," Sticky was featured in the Hughes Brother's "Dead Presidents," while Fredro starred in the Rhea Pearlman/Danny De Vito directed "Sunset Park," as well as two fall seasons along side Brandy on UPN's successful sitcom " Moesha. " Having remained in the spotlight since their initial mad-face invasion In '92, Onyx has continued to master their highs in every venture they've assumed, leading up to now - the release of their highly anticipated third album entitled Shut 'Em Down.
Sharpen up your razors and prepare your lozenges, for the original shiftee, low-down, gritty and grimy triumvirate of Fredro Starr, Sonee Seeza, and Sticky Fingaz - the ardent collective known to the world as Onyx - have returned from a two-year excursion complete with a new album in tow.
Fittingly christened Shut 'Em Down, Onyx's third LIP is the inexhaustible practice to the group's fiery raucous-filled preachment and sets to finish what the first two albums have started a complete industry hostile takeover. Lending from both previous albums, Onyx extends their belligerent epithets of Afficial nastee-ism way past current trends of big will mythomania, setting the stage for their long overdue and rude awakening return as verbalized by Sticky on their first single "Shut 'Em Down":
"To all Y'all real willies / throw ya Rollies in da sky
Now all my crooks / rob them playas outside."
Two plus years in the making, a seasoned Onyx returns with their new album same as they ever were-essential b-boy fundamentalists with an unparalleled frenzied charisma that only this animated trio can bring. Developed around the musical creations Of Such producers as Self, K-Love, Budda and DJ Scratch, Shut 'Em Down marks a stylistic change from their last predominantly self-produced album, providing the ideal cinematic backdrop for Onyx's pertinent ghetto philosophies and visual street narrations. Explains Sonee about the album: "The music is all vibes, feelings and emotions.
Be it wild, or live – we've got a concoction of a lot of things happening." 15 tracks deep, Onyx's third album surfs the entire coast of emotional ranges, landing at such stops as the amped up "Raise It Up," a '98 throw-your-guns-ode to street constituencies across the nation, the elevating "Hydro," an up-tempo and inventive wordplay about the group's main source of inspiration co-produced by Fredro, the ominous "I Don't Wanna Die," a graphic examination in triple time of why every man wants to go to heaven but no man wants to die, and "Veronica," a visual tale of set-up and deceit cleverly developed around the conversational dialogue between Sticky, Fredro and Sonee. Says Fredro in a critique of Shut 'Em Down: "Hip-Hop is really colorful now... we're here to bring back the dark side."
In their strategic plans for total domination, Onyx rises to new found levels of creativeness while maintaining their ever kinetic vibe and overbearing presence. "We're strictly offense, never defense. We don't react to what's going on around LIS, we're just changin' things - keepin' it movin," states a matter-of-factly Sticky. And keeping things moving is exactly what Onyx are doing. Aside from being featured in the upcoming Miramax release "Ride" (including a Soundtrack appearance with Wu-Tang), the group has also been setting the foundation for their Afficial Nast record label, nurturing under their wings Such artists as All City, X-1 (Sticky's little brother), Gang Green, Buttafucco, and songstress Sunshine, all scheduled to appear on an upcoming compilation album later this year.
Sticky Fingaz is also set to start recording songs for his solo album upon completion of Shut 'Em Down.
Critical and self-analytical has Onyx been during the time in between making the new album and as such it has reflected a concerted growth on their behalf, both musically and mentally. "You can't think that anything is your height, because once you feel like you've reached your height You're eventually going to stop reaching," offers Sticky. Having pioneered a new distinct Sound in Hip-Hop six years prior, nothing has changed - Onyx is still setting the energetic and volatile pace for the rest of the Hip-Hop world to follow, one mad face at a time. As Sticky so eloquently sums it up, "Onyx is 'bout to give Hip-Hop a bloody lip!"
ONYX released an album in July 2002 entitled bacdafucup II (sales of the record unknown), also in '99 Onyx member Fredro Starr landed another role in the movie 'Light it up' and returned on the silver screen in 2001 with a role in "Save the last dance". Also both Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr released solo albums in late Spring 2001 gaining luke warm success.

In recent years, almost all HIV infections occurring in U.S. children have been the result of mother to child transmission. However, the epidemic is slowly coming under control. In 2005, only approximately 141 children were born with HIV, which is less than one-tenth the number of infected children born each year in the peak years of the mid 1990s. Much of this reduction has been attributed to early identification of HIV infection in pregnant women, so that antiretroviral therapy and other interventions during pregnancy, labor, and delivery can be started to prevent transmission to the baby. This type of therapy, combined with treatment of the newborn, can reduce the risk of perinatal HIV transmission from approximately 25% to less than 2%.
Unfortunately, in order for treatment to do be as helpful as possible, women need to be diagnosed with HIV as early as possible during pregnancy. This is why current CDC guidelines recommend testing for all women during the first prenatal visit and then again during the third trimester. However, even women who don't get tested during pregnancy can benefit from testing at the time of delivery. Treatment during delivery has been shown to reduce the rate of HIV transmission to the infant by more than half.
In 2007, more than one quarter of women who gave birth to an HIV infected infant had no idea they were infected until it was time to give birth.
Knowing is Half The Battle
In 2005, slightly more than one-quarter of the newly diagnosed HIV infections in the United States occurred in women, and many of these infections were the result of sexual relationships with HIV positive men. Furthermore, 80% of the estimated 120,000 to 160,000 HIV positive women in the United States are of childbearing age, and as many as a quarter of these women may not know their status. These women, who don't know their HIV status, may be at the highest risk of passing the virus on to their children if they choose to become pregnant, particularly if they do not receive HIV testing, and treatment, as part of timely prenatal care.
If you become pregnant, it is extremely important for you to be tested for HIV as early as possible during your prenatal care. Even if your risk of exposure is minimal, it is better to be safe than sorry. Knowing your HIV status will help with your peace of mind. More importantly, however, if you are positive, the sooner you start treatment, the safer you can keep your future child.
If you are pregnant, and you don't know your HIV status, ask your doctor to test for HIV you as part of your prenatal care. Although all doctors should be offering HIV tests to every pregnant patient, many do not. That's unfortunate, because universal testing and treatment of pregnant women could help eliminate mother to child transmission of HIV.
Choosing to Become Pregnant When HIV+
In these days of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HIV has become a disease that people are living with for decades. Many HIV positive men and women are interested in having children of their own. Although the risks of transmission during pregnancy have not been eliminated, new treatments and technologies have made it much safer for HIV+ couples to have children.
If you are part of a couple where one or both of you is HIV positive, and you are considering having children, it is important to see your doctor for counseling before trying to become pregnant. Your doctor can help you decide whether trying for a natural pregnancy is right for you. And, if it is, they can help you reduce the risk of transmission to you, your uninfected partner and/or your future child. Other options for childbearing may include use of assisted reproductive technologies or adoption, and, after counseling, some couples may decide to remain child-free.
If either you or your partner is HIV positive, it doesn't have to be the end to your dreams of having a family. However, it can make the decision making process more difficult. Therefore, it is important to begin the process with as much information as possible. If your physician is uncomfortable discussing reproductive options with you, seek out someone else who will give you the help that you need. It's better to wait and do it right than to risk the health of your future child any more than absolutely necessary.

My oldest daughter is six years old. The big thing in our town for kids her age is soccer. Practically every kid from kindergarten to second grade plays soccer. If you've ever seen young kids this age play soccer it doesn't offer much in the way of athletic competition, but it offers a ton of entertainment.
Kids follow the soccer ball in a mob around the field. There is no real passing and they don't keep score. For the first year there is no goal-keeper. Kids will often forget about the game and end up talking with their friends on the field. Referees will tie the shoes of the players during the middle of the game. Kids will occasionally stand in the middle of field staring off into the distance or into space distracted by the dragonflies that sometimes circle the field or by a distant ice cream truck. All you can do is to take it stride. After all, these are six year olds.
Not unlike those kids on the soccer field, I am a man who is easily distracted, and this is no less true when it comes to faith. When it comes to trying to live a Christian life, I am so prone to following butterflies and dragonflies. For a time, I might think that being Christian is all about being religious, or about knowing a lot of scripture, about attending as many church functions as possible, or even about being spiritually disciplined. But in the pursuit of these other things, I have also found disappointment. I have been burned out and have lost my way. Like a kid who gets separated from their parents at a mall during Christmas I've gotten separated from Jesus as the result of distractions and my own sin.
This past year I started writing this blog and an important part for me, were those Monday with Jesus posts. I wouldn't presume to say that those posts were great theology, or even that they were great writing, but they were very helpful to me, insofar as they allowed me to think about Jesus in a new way. In my life, in claiming to follow Jesus, I've often twisted and used the words of Jesus for my own purposes. During the past half year, I've tried to reclaim and visit again those familiar texts in the gospels and think anew about who is Jesus and what does it mean to follow him. Along the way, as I've taken this new look at Jesus, I have found someone far more loving, compassionate, understanding and radical than the Jesus I formerly knew.
This past fall I also read a wonderful book called "Speaking of Jesus" by Carl Medearis which also follows this same theme of focusing more on Jesus. Too often as Christians, our faith and our testimony focus around religion and around ascribing to religious practices. Christianity becomes an elaborate fraternity or club with rituals and ways of doing things that speak more to our desire for significance and belonging, than anything else. In promoting our church or denomination, Jesus becomes lost in the fine print.
I'm reminded of A Charlie Brown Christmas. At the beginning we find our everyman Charlie Brown. He's depressed about the holidays. He's not at all sure what he is depressed about, but he feels terrible and cannot pinpoint why. He's disappointed with his sister's Sally's materialism and his dog Snoopy's commercialism. He goes to Lucy and her cure for him is "involvement." He needs involvement. He needs to find something to occupy his time. He needs to do something that will make him feel important. Lucy encourages him to be the director for their Christmas production.
But he's still Charlie Brown, and even this task is proves to be too much for him. Finding that his friends have no interest in being directed, he's discouraged and so they send Charlie Brown to a Christmas tree lot. They tell him to find a big and impressive tree. At the lot, Charlie Brown sees these huge live trees and these grotesquely garish artificial trees. Instead of bringing back one of these big and exciting trees, Charlie Brown is drawn to this embarrassingly pathetic little Christmas tree. When Charlie Brown returns with his tree, he's ridiculed. How could Charlie Brown think to bring back this unremarkable and unimpressive little tree? This is Christmas after all.
In this moment of Charlie Brown's shame and frustration, he asks whether anyone knows what Christmas is all about. In response Linus shares the Christmas Story from the book of Luke, about how a virgin gave birth to a baby in a manger. You see Christmas isn't about "being involved", about having an important task, about Christmas shows, about impressive trees, decorations or even presents, it's about a baby who was given to us in a manger. In this most unremarkable and unimpressive place a savior is born and this is what Christmas is all about.
I think that this is a lot how things work for many of us. Like the kids in Charlie Brown, we get distracted from the true meaning of Christmas, but for us it's even more fundamental, we get distracted from what it means to even follow Jesus. It's about being busy. It's about being involved. It's about the show and about finding an important place for ourselves.
Now we near the end of our year. In our family Christmas letter, I wrote the following:
(T)he word for 2011 is advent, which seems all the more appropriate since this is a Christmas letter. Advent is traditionally a season of preparation and expectation in advance of the birth of Jesus. We likewise feel that God is working out His own advent in our lives. We've gone through transitions and now He's preparing us for what is to come, which we hope is more of Jesus.
It is my dearest hope that this Christmas and that 2012 may be an opportunity for us to experience more of Jesus. This is certainly a theme that I wish to further explore with you in this blog.
Toward this end, I hope to read more of the gospels. I also hope to read more about Jesus. A few books on my reading list include the following:
Simply Jesus by NT Wright
The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey
One.Life: Jesus Calls, We Follow by Scot McKnight
Practicing the Way of Jesus: Life Together in the Kingdom of Love by Mark Scandrette
I would love to read even more, but let's start there. What I've come to realize again, even now as we approach Christmas and another year is that Jesus is someone worth getting to know. What will this mean for me and my life? I honestly cannot say, but I would very much like to find out, and I hope that you can travel this road with me as we rediscover Jesus.

FORT MYERS BEACH: Lee County Commissioners want to tear down Seafarer's Village on Estero Boulevard at the base of the bridge. But the town mayor is fighting to save it.
The Fort Myers Beach Town Council talked about the fate of Seafarer's village for 2.5 hours Monday.
The meeting was called last minute to stop county officials from bringing in the wrecking ball.
The county says Seafarer's is an eyesore and a liability because it is in disrepair, with mold and exposed pipes and wires.
The sheriff's office has been called out on reports of trespassing, a-c thefts and vandalism on the building.
The county's recommendation is to demolish Seafarer's and build a parking lot in its place.
But, not all Fort Myers Beach Town Council members are ready to see the building go. The council wants to purchase the property and keep restoration as an option.
Even though this is just a small piece of Lee County, it's 100 percent of what happens to Fort Myers Beach. We think we have the right ideas and motivation to make this something tourists, citizens and visitors would enjoy," Fort Myers Beach Mayor Larry Kiker.
Monday, beach leaders made a unanimous decision to ask the county to hold off for 90 days while it negotiates on a price for Seafarer's
It also wants to negotiate taking over three county-owned beach properties including the beach across from Seafarer's, Lynn Hall and Bowditch Point.
County leaders were originally set to vote on the demolition in early April.

Advice for Surviving a Super Bowl Party:Women over 45
How to Still Feel "Super" the Morning After
2. Try a Smart OTC Solution. Drug store aisles can be daunting, so, for sufferers of occasional constipation, Dr.Yoshida urges you to educate yourself about over-the-counter options. If you are experiencing this issue, Dr. Yoshida recommends a gentle solution: MiraLAX. It's safe to use, and doesn't cause the unpleasant side effects that may come to mind when people think of the word "laxative."
3. Get Off the Couch. Though your first instinct may be to hit the snooze button, getting up and moving is a good idea. There is no better way to feel better quickly than to get your metabolism moving again. However, since your body might be a little dehydrated, intense exercise could make the problem worse. "It's cold outside, but even a brisk walk can help," says Dr. Yoshida.

A year ago, 10,000 Maniacs released their most recent album, "Music from the Motion Picture." It was the first studio album by the band in 14 years.
"In decades, it seems like," bass player Steven Gustafson said. "It seems like it was another life."
Songs from the new album, along with hits like "These Are Days," and "More than This" from when the band was fronted by singer Natalie Merchant, will be among those performed when the band stops in the Chicago area for a Feb. 15 concert at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles.
While tickets are still available to the St. Charles show, a Feb. 14 show at the City Winery in Chicago is sold out.
"We've been having a wonderful time playing shows. We've been performing most of the hits, some deep cuts from the albums, surprise cover songs," Gustafson said. "And at the end of the show we bring out a terrific three-piece horn section from Chicago that blows the roof off the place."
For more than 30 years 10,000 Maniacs have been making music, helping to define alternative and college rock in the 1980s and '90s with albums including "In My Tribe" and "Our Time in Eden."
Over the years the band's configuration has changed, with the group currently featuring Mary Ramsey on lead vocals, Dennis Drew on keyboards, Jerome Augustyniak on drums, Jeff Erickson on guitar along with Gustafson on bass.
"It's strange to think of that," said Ramsey of the band's recent 30th anniversary. "Time goes by quicker than you think.
"We've had kind of nice run of writing music together and enjoying performing with each other. The wonderful part is the way the fans react. It's just sort of an inspiration," said Ramsey, who began working with the group in 1990 singing background vocals and playing the violin.
The shared love of music is key the longevity, she said.
"It's the ingredients of every player that makes this work. The songs have stood the test of time — good songwriting," Ramsey said. "But also our continuation of composing music and having a vision of what we want to share with people. And what they want to share with us, which is just a very pleasant experience."
While times and technology may have changed, some of the process has stayed the same. The band's 1997 album "Love Among the Ruins" was made the help of fans through PledgeMusic.com, a fan sourcing web site.
"It was a lot of work for us older folks, to play the younger kids game here. It was really quite fun," Gustafson said. "It's the miracle of networking and planning. You know what? We did the same thing 30 years ago when we started. Only a hard drive back then was an overnight drive from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta and our computer was a briefcase full scraps of paper with people's phone numbers on it and photographs … and we had to stop at the gas station and use the pay phone."
To record their first album, they sought loans from friends and relatives. While the recording time was free at their university, they had to pay for the tape — about $500 per reel.
"We vowed to pay them all back, with a bonus," he said.
Now on tour, the group is also busy working on two new projects. The band is working with former Maniacs guitarist John Lombardo to record some traditional English folk tunes, he said.
"A lot of the origins of this group are different influences," Ramsey said. "There's that natural fit with those sort of musical styles and sort of folk sensibility … It's going to be a nice kind of fit."
While the band is not sure if the folk songs album will be released as a physical record, they are working on another album featuring new songs.
"We'll probably get to that in the fall or next winter, as we approach our 33 1/3 birthday. You got to put a record out for that," Gustafson said.

Ted Mulry (September 2, 1947 – September 1, 2001) was a British-born singer, songwriter, bass player and guitarist who achieved success in Australia firstly, as a solo performer, and then leading his own band Ted Mulry Gang, sometimes officially credited as just TMG.
After getting tired of being backed by different backing bands, in 1972 he switched from acoustic guitar to bass and formed his own band, "Ted Mulry Gang", with guitarist Les Hall & drummer Herman Kovacs. The band signed a recording deal with Albert Productions in 1974 and released their first album Here We Are. Guitarist Gary Dixon joined around this time to complete the foursome. With his own band behind him he adopted a more hard rockin' style.
Their first major hit, and the biggest of their career was the 1975 single Jump In My Car which spent 6 weeks at number one on the Australian singles charts in 1976. Over the next few years they achieved a string of hit singles including a rocked up version of the old jazz song, Darktown Strutter's Ball, Crazy, Jamaica Rum and My Little Girl. Many of TMG's songs, including Jump In My Car, were co-written with guitarist Les Hall. By the early 1980s their chart success had ended but they remained popular performers on the Australian pub circuit throughout the decade.
In 1998 Ted released a solo CD called "This Time" of songs co-written by himself and his brother Steve Mulry. In early 2001 Ted Mulry announced that he had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. A series of tribute concerts organised shortly before his death, Gimme Ted, brought together an assortment of Australian rock acts of his era to pay tribute to him. These included a reunion of his band Ted Mulry Gang with his brother Steve Mulry standing in for him as lead vocalist.
In January 2006, David Hasselhoff recorded a version of Ted's classic Jump In My Car whilst in Australia. Hasselhoff's version of Jump In My Car was subsequently released in the UK and went to #3 in the charts there in October 2006.

The name Fred Gable, is synonymous with the School of Pharmacy where he brought his love of music and theater and art. For almost 30 years, Fred Gable wore many hats at the School as an Administrator, Instructor, Advisor, Director of the Morter Pestle Players, Founder of the School's art collection, and, upon his retirement in 1980, Assistant Dean.
In 1968 his suggestion that the graduating class present a watercolor to the School in memory of a student who had passed away following his first year at Temple, was the start of the School's impressive art collection. Today the collection consists of over 140 pieces of fine art and sculpture and is one of the largest collections among the Schools and Colleges within Temple University.
When Fred was approached in the late 1950's by a group of students who wanted to start an amateur theatrical group, his response was characteristically enthusiastic and he proceeded to write the music and lyrics for an original musical comedy entitled Personality Plus. Fred Gable directed and staged the annual campus productions over the next 14 years until 1972. He also organized a series of campus activities that ranged from a series of authors' talks to lectures by newsmakers to performances by the Lyric Opera Company of Philadelphia.
Born in South Philadelphia, he graduated from South Philadelphia High School in 1947 and earned a bachelor's degree in pharmacy in 1951, a master's in pharmacy in 1953, and a master's in sociology in 1959, all at Temple University. From 1953, Fred Gable worked in the Army hospital at Fort Meade, Md., before beginning his teaching career at Temple in 1955.
He is the author of Psychosocial Pharmacy: The Synthetic Society, published in 1974 by Lea & Febiger, and Opportunities in Pharmacy Careers, published in 2003 by McGraw-Hill.
Per his request there was no memorial service. In addition to his daughter, he is survived by a son, Dana.
Recently a permanently endowed fund had been created at the Temple University School of Pharmacy to honor Fred Gable's long association with the School. His family has requested that contributions in his memory be sent to this Temple University, attn: Fred B. Gable Endowed Cultural Fund, P.O. Box 827651, Philadelphia, PA 19182-7651.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Plans to build a frac sand transfer facility in Eau Claire, have been shut down, at least for now. Tuesday, the city council rejected a developer's agreement from Muskie Proppant on a 9 to 1 vote.
The company had wanted to build a rail spur on the city's north side. The spur would've been used to transfer frac sand. Representatives from Muskie Proppant told the city council there would be no mining or processing at the site, and that all of the washing and drying would happen in Pierce County, where the sand would have come from.
This was a project that, at one time, the council seemed to favor. Just two weeks ago, most of the city council was prepared to vote in favor of the project but due to language in the resolution, a two-thirds vote was needed to pass it. Because one council member was not in attendance, that wasn't possible.
At Monday night's hearing it was pretty clear where the public stood. In the time WQOW News 18 was there, not one person spoke in favor of having the sand transfer facility in Eau Claire. Tuesday, some city council members said, that influenced the way they voted.
City council member Andrew Werthmann says, "It took a year for the neighborhood to realize, fully, what was going on. Red flags were not raised, because purposely, they were kept down."
"We believe the process has not been appropriate process, we believe it has been a flawed process," says Muskie Proppant LLC attorney, Brian Nodolf.
Tuesday, Muskie Proppant submitted a request that city council table the development agreement for two weeks. They wanted to take the time to speak with neighbors about some of the concerns expressed at Monday's public hearing. That request was denied.
Nodolf says,"It was a voluntary mechanism, we said, look, we're happy to table the development agreement issue for two weeks, speak to the neighbors. If there are additional issues, that people believe need to be addressed, we'll address them, and we'll be happy to put them in writing for the city."
Almost a year ago, the Eau Claire Plan Commission approved a conditional use permit submitted by Muskie Proppant. Nodolf say,"What we saw tonight, was supposed to be a discussion about the approval of a development agreement for the extension of a rail spur. What we instead saw, was in essence, a new conditional use permit process, hearing, which we've already been through and been approved."
On Tuesday, city council member Dave Duax, who also serves on the plan commission, addressed that concern.
"I don't really think we understood what we were dealing with, we were babes in the woods so to speak. I think the plan commission tried and I think members of the plan commission today, know a lot more than they did a year ago and today if this was brought up, I think they would be more up to speed. We were not, " says Duax.
Councilman David Klinkhammer was the only member to vote in favor of the agreement, with some adjustments in mind.
Klinkhammer says,"Once we've granted a conditional use permit, it makes more sense to make sure that property values aren't adversely affected, that people's health are not adversely affected."
WQOW News 18 asked attorney Brian Nodolf if any legal action could be taken because the city already approved a conditional use permit. He says,"I believe there are a number of legal issues here, I am not going to elaborate on them at this time, as I said we will evaluate all of our options, as we move forward and proceed on the one we see is most appropriate. Our focus is on moving forward with the project we we're planning to do and that, as I said, we are committed to doing it. So, we are not really weighing other options for the property."
The company did not give a specific timeline on when they would move forward.
One more note, Muskie Proppant already owns a portion of the property just off Anderson Drive where the proposed rail spur would go in.
Eau Claire (WQOW) - A frac sand transfer facility won't be built in Eau Claire. At least not for the time being.
Tuesday night, the Eau Claire City Council rejected the plans from Muskie Proppant on a nine to one vote. A motion by Muskie Proppant to postpone the vote for two weeks also failed. The company wanted more time to talk to the city and residents about the project.
Muskie Proppant wanted to build a rail spur on the city's north side. The spur would've been used to transfer frac sand. Tuesday night, a developer's agreement went before the Eau Claire City Council.
A public hearing was held on Monday. The city council heard from an attorney representing Muskie Proppant about the project. Attorney Brian Nodolf says there would be no mining or processing at the site, that all of the washing and drying would happen in Pierce County where the sand will be coming from.

A name is worth a thousand words and, when you say Ice Cold Champagne, many words come to the minds of her fans. But, when you say just Steph, many have no clue about the real beauty behind the exotic photos. Don't be dismay because by the time you finish reading this article you'll add a few more words to the category, one being Stephaine.
Steph as I will refer to her, most who gaze at her provocative pictures may think differently, but upon meeting, you will be totally surprised by her shyness and, warm persona. Ms. Champagne invites us in to share a very intimate side of her as she talks about the business, family, relationships and her plans for the future.
J'ADORE: So you're shy? Yeah right?
CHAMPAGNE: Seriously! I am shy initially, and then, I'm really laidback! [Laughs] I'm a cornball, think Carlton meets Sade meets Doogie Howser. But yes, I hear the intimidated thing all the time! I recently met a fan and he was just floored by how down to earth I was. I do think people look at the image and take it as the personality.
That's interesting! So, were you born and raised in Detroit?
Yes I was born and raised in Detroit (Westside).
What was it like growing being Steph?
I was (and still am) very shy. I know it seems strange given my site and my comfort level with my body but it takes me a while to warm up to people. I think I am socially shy if that make sense. I developed people skills much later in life. I was a nerd for real! My parents didn't prioritize looks at all. My IQ was very high when I was younger (may still be but haven't been tested) but I was extremely sheltered (no sleepovers, mall trips, phone calls all night, etc). No not at all. My focus was school and, I wanted to be like DR Huxtable or Flo Jo! Then, I saw that movie in health class showing childbirth, YUK! [LAUGHS]
So, is that when you knew, you wanted to model?
Actually, It was a little later when an ex boyfriend who was fledgling photographer, one of my ex boyfriends was a fledgling photographer and I was his test model. He submitted some of my shots and it started from there.
Did you ever strip for a living?
Yes! My Dad was old school and felt at 18 you should take care of yourself...I was a 2nd semester junior at an expensive University!! Stripping was cool, I was able to have a carefree lifestyle and still pay my tuition, but there is a stigma that goes with it that I understand. I think personally about 85% of the women that strip fit into the stereotype but the 15% of us that don't...its a job not a lifestyle!"
How does your family feel about your modeling?
Well to them it's a hobby. Like I said I was a wiz in school. My Dad used to want me to get married and settle down but understands that, 'they don't make men like they used to', and
[laughs] he says, 'he feels sorry for young girls nowadays'. Personally, I really don't think there is anything shameful about the nude human body at all. I do understand that some people have given it such a stigma and so it's a bad thing. I feel that in its natural sense it is beautiful and
innocent, Americans make it such a negative thing.
Speaking of beautiful body, how do you maintain that curvous shape and, what do you feel are you best assets, physically that is?"
I work out, not regularly like I should but I do take it serious. I do about 30 minutes of cardio and then about 45 minutes of weights/resistance, then end with another 15 minutes of cardio. I don't eat pork, I do eat lots of green veggies, but I lovvvvvve sweets, not chocolate so much but candy, cakes, pie (cherry), etc. I want to become a complete vegan but I love steak too much and Popeye's, dangit! I think my best assets are my eyes...but they give away my mood and thoughts sometimes. My worst? My legs...I know some people love them but to me they are too big...Even when I was skinny I thought they were too big!"
I think a few fellas would disagree about the legs, Steph. Girl, you know you're sexy right?
I am a corn/goof ball. I think being comfortable in your skin and being open-minded is sexy. I think that not hiding what you perceive as a flaw is sexy. I don't limit that to dark or light skinned, small or curvy frame.
Do you think it was harder for you to get into the internet/video modeling biz, than it is for ladies today?'
Yes, I think its harder now. Girls are doing any and everything to get a feature spot in a music video. Also, the average size woman is considered fat and too shapely (yes, I have heard that...from Black casting directors and magazines at that!) But, I am very fortunate to be the owner, administrator, web-mistress of my site: www.justmesteph.com . I am an aspiring Soccer mom. [Laughs] Seriously, I also dabble a little in day trading. One of my members introduced it to me and, it's been pretty cool so far!! Of course I would love to do some acting but nothing has come thru yet, so we'll see!
Okay time to spill the beans. Are you dating Steph?
No, I'm single. Even if I were in a relationship, I wouldn't tell. [Laughs] It is very hard to maintain a relationship in this biz. The fans don't want to think they have a possibility of being with you and the man you date has to understand that yes, you are a fantasy woman to lots of people. That's why I like open-minded men who are secure within them selves.
What else you like in a man?
I am really into a man's stance...how he carries himself. I love confidence, not arrogance. I have run the gamut in terms of looks and size that caused me to have superficial relationships, so now I go for personality security in his manhood and open-mindedness. A lot of folks think I only date ballers, athletes or corporate guys, so not true!
So, you haven't dated any famous guys? I'm so not believing that!"
I plead the 5th! [Laughing] An R&B singer; a Pittsburgh Steeler; a Houston Rocket' and, an Arizona Cardinal. But hey, a lady never tells! Besides, I later found out they were married and hiding it. That's why I don't focus in other celebs!
Okay, ever have any stalkers or negative encounters with females calling you out about what you do? And, I know you went straight up, Detroit style on their behinds, cause 'um, we don't play in the 'D'!! [Laugh]
Yes & yes! I just feel like they [the women] are insecure with themselves. I mean why else would you care what I do? I am not flaunting my job to you don't judge me by how I am able to pay my bills...find your hustle in life and work it whatever it may be!! -I am so not a fighter...I was well into adulthood before I had my first fight (have only had two). My mother taught me not to lower myself to their level...like, 'don't let a loud mouth idiot make you mad and fight, at the end of the day, they are still a loud mouth idiot and you have become one too!' As far as a stalker, I've had one before. It was crazy because he wanted me to have his son and give the child up."
Wait, was his name Loc? [We both laugh, at our little secret] Okay never mind, continue. "she gathers her composure and finishes the story"
Well, I turned him down and then he proposed marriage. When I declined that too he got loony. Sending crazy packages to my job, sending letters to my ex-boyfriends and their families, he supposedly sent letters to the local government trying to implicate me as a call girl, it was crazy."
Whoa! Now, tell us about the craziest thing that ever happened during on a shoot?
Hmm, I better keep it PG13 huh? I am very clumsy...like unbelievably so, have always been. So, I was doing a shoot on
a hammock and it is difficult to balance. Well, I am posing and flipped it right over...just like in the cartoons!!!"
That's funny! Who were some of your favorite models to work with?"
See, you gonna have me "catching shade" because of this question [laughing], SaphirraChanel (she is wild but I love her ambition and business drive), Tiara (same zodiac sign and she is very positive and about her biz), MiaNorr (very business and laidback), Montana (surprised me too...she is crazy but again about her business)...notice a theme? And last but not least my D-town models kami2hot and Foreverafox, I know that I don't know nearly enough about this job of marketing yourself so anyone that I can learn from."
Yeah, I hear those girls really handle their business. Steph, where do you see yourself in the next five, ten years? Married w/ kids and, the little house with the white picket fence?
In 5/10 yrs, a soccer mom!! I want the minivan and, chair the bake sale for the school events! I would love to have another child. I want to be married and settled though. I crave a "regular" life where my family I can enjoy the fruits of my 20's.
Well, fellas, a Cold glass of Champagne or, a warm embrace from Just Steph? How about a little of both, I'll let you decide. Either way the shy, humble, and sometimes silly, carefree cornball behind both names will keep you intrigued by this beauty.

Gradient-Based Learning Algorithms for Recurrent Networks and Their Computational Complexity (1995)

Introduction 1.1 Learning in Recurrent Networks Connectionist networks having feedback connections are interesting for a number of reasons. Biological neural networks are highly recurrently connected, and many authors have studied recurrent network models of various types of perceptual and memory processes. The general property making such networks interesting and potentially useful is that they manifest highly nonlinear dynamical behavior. One such type of dynamical behavior that has received much attention is that of settling to a fixed stable state, but probably of greater importance both biologically and from an engineering viewpoint are time-varying behaviors. Here we consider algorithms for training recurrent networks to perform temporal supervised learning tasks, in which the specification of desired behavior is in the form of specific examples of input and desired output trajectories. One example of such a task is sequence classification, where

ENG 1 and ENG30
Take Krusoe if you are truly passionate about writing and want to become a better writer. Took him for English !, which was actually kind of a lot of work and I also took him for creative writing, which I strongly recommend. Great man and teacher with a dark sense of humor!
Awesome professor, probably my favorite yet.
Genius. Teaches with style and ease and a great understanding of Literature and the mysteries of life, without appearing entitled/annoying like many Eng proffesors do. Great sense of humor. Be HIGHLY descriptive, take risks in your writing, and go to him for advice and you will see your writing bloom as well as your grade.
Really funny guy. Makes you think outside the box when it comes to classroom discussions. You'll have to write essays about sadness, insanity, and other random topics. Make sure you're really descriptive when you write.
AMAZING! Write your essays with a lot of description and take risks. Don't be afraid to get strange or personal in them or be somewhat poetic. If you are a good writer and enjoy writing, I am sure you will enjoy and get an A. Took so much from this class. Krusoe is also the perfect mixture of hilarious, laid back, and 100% knowing his stuff.
Krusoe is very passionate about English and insightful with the readings. Many questions and discussions will be held. You are to do about twenty essays and a research paper. The hardest part of the class will be the research paper and his grading, which is reasonable but still a little tough. Great class.
Excellent teacher, esp. for writers. You'll write notes on essays, a weekly essay in class and one report. Discussions on book essays were interesting and all the writing invaluable. At my age (50's) I was ready for a waste of time. Quite frankly, I feel that I have improved as a writer thanks to this class and Prof's comments and attention.
Very interesting discussions during class. Minimal homework. He is a very difficult grader and seems really unpredictable. I went to his office hours regularly to get help. Always ask him what you did wrong on your essays, otherwise you'll be extremely lost. Participate in class and show him you care. He drops a few essays so don't stress too much.
Pretty good teacher, class consists of a lot of notes from the book as homework due once a week, essays, and a research paper. If you do the notes consistently, write good essays and find a good partner for the research paper, you'll have a guaranteed A or B and he wont make u do the final if ur grade is high enough to not be affected.
Krusoe is the best creative writing teacher I have ever had the privilege of having. He is phenomenal. I have never met someone who understands writing more. The class was life-changing. Honestly.
Jim Krusoe is an excellent mentor for writers, his ability to see the writer you can become is a priceless gift to his students. He understands the struggle that creative writing can be and sympathizes without coddling. A fine teacher and wonderful writer.
As a warning...try not to take Krusoe because you don't really learn anything. I took him in Fall '10. He's a nice guy but he's not a good teacher. His comments he makes on the essays are hard to read and understand.
This guy is one great professor. Classes revolve around discussions which at the end aid you on your writing. Very nice and easy to talk to. Would highly recommend to those that are active listeners and looking for a "chill" class that isn't dull.
I've been attending Krusoe's class for many, many years. Nearly a decade. There is a certain pretention now I've never seen before. It would be nice to see Jim more enthusiastic. It would be nice to see a class more enthusiastic which may be why Krusoe is not. It's zombie land.
Doesn't let you know that he drops x number of tests until semester is almost over. Class is centered exclusively on discussions -- not on teaching you how to write. Weekly in-class essays on obscure concepts such as, "theft," "captivity" or "coldness." Kind, generous personality. Great writer, was never meant to teach entry level English courses.
I'm glad I found this site. Krusoe is one of my most favorite people in the world. He's generous, smart, thoughtful, light-hearted, and well read. After a series of misfires in searching for a creative community in poetry, I appreciate his class, and his wisdom, that much more. Still unsure? Read his work.
Hard class to get an A in because of vague grading techniques. Pretty simple class structure, there are reading notes and an in class essay weekly. He is pretty lax on attendance, but obviously the more you show up, the better you'll do. Overall, interesting man and a decent class but you might have to accept getting a B at best.
He is by far one of the best professors I have had so far at smc. He is passionate and genuine- not to mention he has a keen sense of humor and animated eyebrows. He is not however the easiest A- he is challenging. The readings are mostly very interesting- lots of classics. I highly recommend him!
If we are lucky we have had at least one teacher who has changed our life. Jim Krusoe changed mine. I continue to be challenged by the high bar he sets for what writing can be.
This guy is so full of himself it's unbelievable. He covers it up by pretending he's humble. I see through that crap. The rest of the class is like a cult and almost as full of themselves as the instructor. Strange experience.

SOHH Whatcha Think: 50 Cent Serves Floyd Mayweather W/ Low Blow, Kanye West Drops $1 Mil On Kim K's Kake, Slaughterhouse Member Gets Porked
Tuesday, Sep 18, 2012 11:51AM
Thriller Tuesday. It's a high-speed chase today starting with 50 Cent heating up the tensions between himself and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. with a low-blow photo next to Manny Pacquiao. Ouch! Kanye West is returning the favor to Kim Kardashian by throwing up $1 million for her b-day. Big spender? A Slaughterhouse member becomes the victim of a porky prank? All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. G-Unity
Things are really starting to rumble between 50 Cent and Floyd Mayewather, Jr. If it wasn't bad enough that they appear to be beefing on the low, then 50's decision to publicly show how serious the feud is by standing next to Mayweather's arch enemy may be the tipping point. Media Take Out has the proof:
If You Had ANY DOUBT That Floyd Mayweather And 50 CENT Had Beef . . . Peep This Photo .. . That 50 LEAKED!!! September 18, 2012: Rapper 50 cent not only PARTNERED with Floyd's MORTAL ENEMY Manny Pacquiao (Manny is currently SUING Floyd for $25M) . . but now 50 is taking PICS with dude - and sending it out to the world. We REALLY hope that those two are just PRETENDING to have beef, so that they can TRICK Manny into fighting Floyd. Cause we LIKED THEM TWO as a team . . . (Media Take Out)
If this feud isn't legit then 50 Cent has to be considered one of the greatest marketing geniuses in the biz. How else could you explain the anxiety that he's caused so far? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Birthday Cake
Could Kanye West and Kim Kardashian be the hottest couple in the game? If not, they sure do flaunt like they are. Months after Kim K got Kanye a pretty pricey Lamborghini, it turns out that Mr. West has returned the favor by throwing up a million bucks in birthday gifts. Splash via Bossip has the scoop on this special treat.
Cha-ching? These two appear to be deeply in love and who can hate on that? Kanye West calls Kim his "Perfect B*tch" and Kim calls her new pussycat "Mercy." This must be love. #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. Slaughtering Time
When it comes to murdering rap records, Slaughterhouse stand in a class of their own. But away from the microphone, they appear to have a ton of fun, especially when Royce Da 5'9 and Shady Records boss Eminem link up. Turns out Royce got put on the spot by a porky prankster named Chops the Pig. Complex has the inside on this gag:
Slaughterhouse is quite creative with their new promo ad that features Chops The Pig prank calling Royce Da 5'9". In this clip Chops tries to get Royce to invest in his "Flying Pig" energy drink. Watch the video above. (Complex)
Not sure about any of you all, but the name Chops the Pig doesn't really ring any bells. Regardless, hearing how stunned Royce Da 5'9 is during the latter part of this exchange is all worth it. #SOHHWhatchaThink?
That about wraps it up for today. This is SOHH On The Spot giving you the morning scoop from your favorite gossip sites.

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Portfwd
Charly's Column
Incoming TCP connections do not always end up where they are supposed to. A freely configurable redirector points digital debris in the direction of a new and better place.
Just a little while back we discussed Rinetd [1], a TCP redirector. Rinetd is lean, reliable, and easy to configure; on the downside, it lacks some advanced features. This month I'll examine Portfwd, a tool that includes some of those features missing from Rinetd. Portfwd (Port Forwarding Daemon, [2]) takes the form of a 116K tarball, which you can build and install in the normal way: ./configure; make; make install or almost. The all-important binary went into hiding in the src directory after I typed make install. A symlink (ln -s /usr/local/portfwd-0.27/src/portfwd/usr/bin/portfwd) took care of that.

This should close everything out, with the players "exceptionally cleared" of any wrongdoing.
