H. D. is best known as an exemplar of Imagism, the first important movement in twentieth-century poetry and a precursor of literary Modernism. As formulated by Ezra Pound, Imagism rejected conventional verse forms and upheld the image as the primary source of poetic expression. While H. D. gradually abandoned the movement's principles to accommodate her interest in mythology, occultism, and psychoanalysis, critical attention during her lifetime remained focused on her Imagist works and their revelations concerning her association with such prominent intellectuals as Pound, Richard Aldington, D. H. Lawrence, and Sigmund Freud. In recent years, however, scholars have more fully explored H. D.'s quest to define herself as an artist and to create in her later works a female mythology based on classical sources.
Hilda Doolittle was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to an academic family with ties to the Moravian and Puritan faiths. She attended Bryn Mawr College for two years, during which time she became friends with the poets Marianne Moore and William Carlos Williams. In 1907 H. D. became engaged to Ezra Pound, whom she had met at the age of fifteen. Although they did not marry, their intermittent relationship drew H. D. to London, where Pound had settled in 1908. She actively participated in the city's literary scene, associating with D. H. Lawrence, May Sinclair, W. B. Yeats, and Richard Aldington, whom she married in 1913. That same year Pound arranged for the publication of several of H. D.'s poems in Poetry magazine. Submitted under the name "H. D., Imagiste," the poems "Hermes of the Ways," "Priapus," and "Epigram" embodied Pound's concept of Imagism, which incorporated elements from classical Greek lyrics, Japanese haiku, and French symbolism. Following the appearance of these poems, which were hailed as revolutionary by reviewers, H. D. assumed a leading role in the Imagist movement. During World War I she replaced Aldington as the literary editor of the Egoist, a forum for Imagist writers, and was a major contributor to Des Imagistes: An Anthology, a collection of Imagist poetry edited by Pound and published in 1915. When Pound abandoned Imagism following the publication of this volume, H. D. and Aldington, in conjunction with Amy Lowell, led and further developed the movement, arranging the publication of three succeeding Imagist anthologies.
In 1918 H. D. separated from Aldington and began living with the novelist Winifred Ellerman, who wrote under the pseudonym Bryher. They traveled extensively after the birth of H. D.'s daughter in 1919, visiting Italy, Greece, and Egypt before settling in Switzerland. In 1933 and 1934 H. D. underwent psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud, a process that proved pivotal in her artistic development. She resolved many of her feelings concerning her bisexuality and her difficulties with writer's block. Psychoanalysis also prompted her to view her personal experiences as part of a universal pattern that linked her to women throughout the ages and to regard her poetry as the key to understanding that pattern. In 1956 she published her recollections of this period in Tribute to Freud, which Vincent Quinn characterized as essentially "a self-portrait brought into focus by her confrontation with Freud." H. D. later developed an interest in mysticism and esoteric religions, particularly those which emphasize the strength and independence of matriarchal figures. The poems she wrote during World War II while residing in Great Britain reflect these concerns. After the war she returned to Switzerland, where she wrote her third major work of fiction, Bid Me to Live (A Madrigal) (1960), a semi-autobiographical account of her life in London in the 1920s. In 1960 she became the first woman to receive the Award of Merit Medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She died in 1961.
During the 1920s H. D. established herself as an important Imagist poet with the publication of the collections Hymen (1921) and Heliodora, and Other Poems (1924) and began to experiment more widely with different genres and techniques. For example, Palimpsest (1926) and Hedylus (1928), nominally considered novels though they defy easy categorization, evince H. D.'s development of her narrative voice, particularly her use of flash-backs and stream-of-consciousness monologues. H. D.'s verse, especially that collected in Sea Garden (1916), Hymen, and Heliodora, epitomized the practices of Imagism, which included the use of concrete, sensual images, common speech, concision, and the creation of new rhythms, intended to produce, according to the Imagist credo, "poetry that is hard and clear, never blurred nor indefinite." Her poems of this era, including "Oread" and "Garden," have been widely anthologized, and the publication of her Collected Poems in 1925 inextricably linked H. D. with the Imagist movement. H. D., however, once observed: "One writes the kind of poetry one likes. Other people put labels on it. Imagism was something that was important for poets learning their craft early in this century. But after learning his craft, the poet will find his true direction."
H. D.'s experimentation beyond the tenets of Imagism has drawn increasing attention from critics, particularly feminist scholars. In the verse following Collected Poems, she employed increasingly complex rhymes and rhythms and ultimately rejected the predominantly visual imagery characteristic of her early work in favor of phonetic and rhythmic effects to recreate moods and objects. Her "war trilogy," which includes the volumes The Walls Do Not Fall (1944), Tribute to the Angels (1945), and The Flowering of the Rod (1946), was inspired by the realities of living in war-torn London during World War II and presents the "Goddess," or mother-symbol, as a means of transcending the horrors of war and attaining spiritual wholeness and self-realization. H. D.'s last major work, Helen in Egypt (1961), is a book-length combination of poetry and prose that embodies the philosophical and aesthetic concerns that dominated her later work. Rejecting the traditional male focus of such epics as The Iliad and The Odyssey, H. D. concentrated on Helen of Troy and her efforts as an exile in Egypt to come to terms with her past and to forge an independent self-identity. Many commentators contend that this work and those that followed the Collected Poems are her best, although a few maintain that she broadened her range at the expense of the clarity and conciseness that had been her trademark as the quintessential Imagist poet.
H. D. has been recognized as a leading figure in the movement of Imagism and an important influence on modern poetry. Yet despite her prominent position in modern letters, several feminist critics have asserted that the critical neglect of her work is due to her gender and the fact that she wrote poetry about the struggles and concerns of women. Such scholars have praised her efforts to rescue women's stories from a masculine literary tradition, her questioning of masculine definitions of women, and her challenging of established gender roles. Commentators have also lauded her exploration of her own identity as a woman and author and her attempts to redefine literary traditions with a women's voice. In recent years, there has been increasing critical attention to H. D.'s oeuvre, particularly from feminist commentators. She has earned praise for her technical achievements, her poignant portrayals of her personal struggles, and the beauty of her work. H. D. has often been referred to as "the perfect Imagist" and is viewed as one of the major poets of the twentieth century.

In the following essay, Friedman contends that "as a woman writing about women, H. D. explored the untold half of the human story, and by that act she set herself outside of the established tradition."
H. D. is a major twentieth-century poet who all too often receives the response "H. D.?—who's he?" When people are reminded that "H. D." was the pen name for Hilda Doolittle, it is generally remembered that she was one of those imagist poets...

In the following essay, Rohrbach examines H. D.'s identification with the classical female poet Sappho.
Like all deeply famous figures, Sappho keeps her anonymity. I do not mean this in the sense that Sappho is no one; rather, she could be anyone. Having borne witness to the 1890s 'boom of interest in her, modernists were well aware of the interpretative leeway that Sappho's ambiguous...

At the beginning of this reunion show, Andy Cohen seemed extremely nervous. I think he was afraid Shray might pull out a pitch fork and snap Kim's wig off.
I was anticipating some drama between Kim and NeNe, but apparently they had a two hour discussion (most likely while drunk) and worked everything out. They are besties once again.
Lisa isn't pregnant (which is sad, I like her husband, Ed). She openly talked about having less money because her hubby's football career was over and that they moved into a smaller house that used to serve as a storage home. Can you imagine the shame of having to move into your multimillion dollar storage home? How em-burrising.
Oh hell naw...
I loved how Lisa rolled her eyes every time Kim spoke - especially when Kim spoke about her fictillness. I think her exact quote went something like this:
"Yaw, so I had an illness. It started with my thyrahd, and then was anemia. And yaw, I lost my hair. I am loving my wiiig. The Caucasians need to catch up with the African-Americans."
And then there was a wink and a hand clap. I don't know, but Andy looked eaxctly like he didn't believe her. I don't blame him.
She was also asked about her wine drinking problem and she said:
"I drink whatever I damn well please."
Andy also told Kim that viewers can't believe she is 31. She said that last season, she didn't look good, and she admits that. Ummm, last season...what about this season? Sometimes I forget her age, and when I remember it, I am shocked. She has a teenage daughter. That means she had a baby in high school. That means....White trash? Imajussaying.
During a commercial break, Kim's off again married, millionaire sugar daddy/boyfriend showed up. This was right after Kim told Andy that it was over, she don't have tiiiime for hiiiim, he won't even get dee-vorced. Well, Papa must have heard Kim's whiny voice and came running to win her back. Andy was childlike delighted to meet Papa, it was adorable.
Basically, Kim was defensive about everything and was so shocked that people were curious about her life. Obviously she loves the attention a reality tv show star gets, but she doesn't like the criticism. She handles the criticism like an immature child would handle it. And she looked a little fat. There, I said it.
Shray looked terrible. Her hairpiece looked like a nicely trimmed poodle and her eye makeup just looked a mess. I think I saw her nipple a few times. It was disturbing.
The best was when Andy asked Shray if she was a lesbian. She got so uncomfortable, it was wonderful. I don't think she's a lesbian. I think she is asexual. I assume she has no genitalia. And no heart.
The best was when Andy asked Shray if she was a lesbian. She got so uncomfortable, it was wonderful. I don't think she's a lesbian. I think she is asexual. I assume she has no genitalia. And no heart.
Oh no Shray, please stop with the fancy hair-dids
Kandi talked about the death of her ex-fiance, A.J., and it was genuinely sad. I didn't like the way that Kim was squeezing her while she was talking, but other than that, the entire clip was sad. Andy handled it very well. It was the realest moment of it all. Kandi, you are real.
I'm such a good friend.
Next week is part two of the reunion special and Kim sings...oh it is going to be so terrible. Ear bleeding terrible. The look of humor on NeNe's face while Kim is singing is priceless.

Large, densely branched shrub or small tree up to 5 m tall. Leaves thick, leathery, evergreen, mostly alternate or in whorls of threes, elliptical, 8 to 15 cm long, 1.5 to 5 cm wide; margins entire and rolled in. Flowers white to pink, 2 to 3 cm in diameter, in large showy clusters. Found in all the southern states but less common in the coastal plain; most common on dry, rocky slopes and ridges and in open woods.
Very similar to mountain laurel and also toxic. Shrub to 1.5 m tall. Usually a smaller plant than Kalmia latifolia with narrower and smaller leaves and smaller flowers that are more often pink than white. This species usually occupies wetter sites and mostly limited to mountainous areas of Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia.
The resinoid, andromedotoxin, and a glucoside, arbutin, are the toxic principles responsible for symptoms. Sheep, goats and cattle are susceptible to poisoning if they consume the plant, especially the leaves.
There are recorded cases of toxicity in humans and monkeys. Most clinical cases of laurel toxicity are seen in the winter and early spring months. When other forage is not available, livestock may consume the toxic evergreen laurels.
Signs of toxicity occur usually within six hours after consuming the plants. Symptoms include incoordination, excessive salivation, vomiting, bloat, weakness, muscular spasms, coma and death. The animals are often found down, unable to stand, with their head weaving from side to side.
Animals should not be drenched or given medicine by mouth in severe cases since they may be unable to swallow due to weakness of the throat muscles. The administration of mineral oil or saline laxatives by stomach tube is suggested. In addition, intravenous electrolyte solutions may be used.
Medium sized tree with dark, smooth bark. Bruised twigs and leaves with a distinctive acrid taste and odor. Leaves alternate, deciduous, light green, elliptic to lanceolate, 6 to 12 cm long, 2 to 5.5 cm wide, crenate to crenate-serrate, two small glands near the juncture of blade and petiole. Flowers small, white, in terminal racemes 4 to 10 cm long. Ripe fruit black, shiny, juicy, .7 to 1 cm long. Distributed throughout the south, most common in fence rows, open woods and pastures.
Shrub with extensive rhizomes and thus often appearing in clumps. Leaves are smaller than P. serotina with smaller, sharper teeth and ripe fruit are dark red to purple. Uncommon except perhaps along streams in Tennessee or in moist places in Oklahoma and Texas.
Small to medium-sized tree, sometimes clipped to form dense hedges, 1 to 3 m tall. Leaves alternate, evergreen, dark green, shiny, elliptic to elliptic lanceolate, 5 to 10 cm long, 1.5 to 4 cm. wide; leaf margins variable, entire to serrate or denticulate. Flowers small, white, in axillary racemes 1.5 to 3 cm long. Ripe fruit dull black, only slightly fleshy. Georgia to Florida and west to Texas; most common in fence rows, low moist woods and maritime forest of coastal plain; often planted and escaping widely.
The toxic principle is hydrocyanic acid (also called prussic acid) which is created by enzymic action on the glucoside, amygdalin. It is present primarily in the leaves of trees that have fallen and are in a wilted condition. The bark and twigs are also toxic. Poisoning may occur in the spring, summer or fall.
Ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats) are most often affected, but single stomach animals, such as the horse, can also be affected.
Symptoms are difficult breathing, bloat, an anxious expression, moaning, staggering, recumbency and convulsions before death. Animals may die within one hour after consuming the leaves. The mucous membranes are bright red in color, as is the blood.
The intravenous injection of sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate is suggested. It must be given as early as possible. Treatments may need to be repeated within a few hours.

The Bottom Line
While Will Ferrell isn't at the top of his game in this family friendly soccer comedy, "Kicking and Screaming" will definitely entertain the younger crowd. Adults may get a little tired of a plot that seems to circle around without really going anywhere, while kids will get a kick (couldn't resist the pun) out of the soccer action.
- Will Ferrell can drag a laugh out of pretty much anyone
- Duvall and Ditka in the same movie? That's priceless
- No commentary tracks
- Deleted Scenes - Almost enough deleted scenes to make a separate full length feature film;
- Outtakes - 8 minutes of pretty funny outtakes;
- 'Behind the Net - Making of featurette with cast and crew interviews;
- 'Kickin' it with the Kids' - Interviews with the young stars of "Kicking and Screaming;"
- 'Soccer Camp' - Behind the scenes as the kids learn soccer skills in preparation for the movie;
- 'From Rome to Hollywood' - How the two Italian kids were recruited for this project;
- Alternate Takes
- DVD RELEASE DATE: October 11, 2005
Guide Review - "Kicking and Screaming" DVD Review
Will Ferrell stars as Phil Weston, a dad - and all around good guy - who gets roped into coaching his son's team when the real coach fails to show up. This wouldn't be so bad if his team wasn't soccer's equivalent of baseball's Bad News Bears and if he didn't grow up under the shadow of a father (played by Robert Duvall) who won at everything and who just happens to have a son playing in the same soccer league. Mike Ditka co-stars as Phil's next door neighbor who has his own grudge to settle with Phil's domineering dad.
The soccer action's great, Ferrell is engaging enough to get a few laughs out of the adult audience, and the kids who are part of Phil's onscreen soccer team are terrific young actors.
"Kicking and Screaming" is light, fluffy, fun family fare. Perfect for those nights when you want to disengage your brain and kick it on the couch with your kids.

Any team that receives a perfect sportsmanship score during the season is declared a winner, as are the teams with the highest point totals in each age group.
The winning teams receive tickets to a DC United game, where they will be able to take a team picture with the MLS Cup Trophy, meet a DC United player, and participate in a field-level halftime ceremony.
Sportsmanship points are determined by game referees. Points were assigned throughout the Spring 2013 season, and compiled following its conclusion.
Representatives for the winning teams will be contacted shortly by the NCSL. The winners will be recognized on the field during the October 4 home game vs. Chicago Fire.
Congratulations to these award winners.

In June of 1940, Estonia was invaded and occupied by Russian military forces. The nation was incorporated by force into the Soviet Union under the provisions of the 1939 Hitler-Stalin pact – a plan to conquer all of Europe and divide it under spheres of Nazi and Soviet influence. This criminal annexation has never been recognized by the United States and by most Western countries.
Estonia is located on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, south of Finland, east of Sweden, north of Latvia, and very definitely west of Russia – both geographically and ideologically.
Of all European countries, only Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania lost their sovereignty during World War Two. Unlike other countries which had communist governments imposed on them, the Baltic countries were absorbed through the use of brutal force. In 1941, 60,000 Estonians were either killed or sent to Soviet concentration camps where they later perished. In 1949, 80,000 Estonians were deported to Siberia.
Between 1939 and 1949, a stunning one-third (350,000 people) of Estonia's population was lost. Most western countries have never accorded diplomatic recognition to the Soviet incorporation of Estonia. Estonians from throughout the Free World assemble periodically at festivals held to strengthen cultural ties and call attention to their country's plight.
Freedom loving people everywhere should remember the words of Benjamin Franklin inscribed on Thomas Jefferson's seal: "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." Let there be hope that someday every nation behind the Iron Curtain will be free. Let us all hope that day will arrive soon.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

The Silent Scream (DVD) Eight Languages
"When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing." – President Ronald Reagan to National Religious Broadcasters Convention, January 1981
Ronald Reagan became convinced of this as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House. More recently, it was by catching just a glimpse of what this film reveals that Planned Parenthood director and abortion advocate Abby Johnson turned and became a strong advocate for the pre-born.
The modern technology of real-time ultrasound now reveals the actual responses of a 12-week old fetus to being aborted. As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist's suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn't have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
"…a high technology "Uncle Tom's Cabin" arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement." – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

You'll need 4 quickdraws to get to the anchor (now above the lip). Although there are 2 bolts at the anchor (right at the lip at the top of the route), only one of them has a hanger and chain on it. I like to see 2 bolts at every anchor, but I still used this one anyways.

Governor Barbour testifies before U.S. House Energy and Commerce CommitteeBy Teresa Collier | Published 02 Mar 2011 12:17pm |
Governor Haley Barbour was in Washington calling on the federal government to rethink its plans for Medicaid. Elizabeth Wynne Johnson explains.
Barbour says the health care law's plans to expand Medicaid will cost Mississippi too much money. He wants to turn the federal –state health plan for the poor into a block grant program. That would allow Barbour and other governors greater leeway.
BARBOUR: "I can't imagine Mississippi opting out of Medicaid. We're a poor state, it's an important program. We just want to run it better… We can control the cost much, much better if the federal government gave us more flexibility."
Some states might use that flexibility to reduce benefits and exclude all but the most destitute from coverage. Barbour also told the House Energy and Commerce Committee that a federal requirement of a standard benefits package would prompt Mississippi businesses to drop their workers' health care coverage.
BARBOUR: "That's why our employers will drop coverage, because their premiums will skyrocket." 1:48 (No.4)
Democrats on the panel defended the new health care law. Congresswoman and former nurse Lois Capps of California, cited Mississippi's poor record on infant mortality. She asked Barbour if Medicaid could help change that.
BARBOUR: "A little bit….In my state we have an extremely high rate of illegitimacy…we have a lot of children being born to mothers who themselves are in bad health, maybe because of life choices…like drugs or alcohol." 2.20 (No. 5)
President Obama has rejected Barbour's Medicaid plan. One White House concession – states will be able to opt out of certain key requirements of the health reform law a few years earlier. But they must find other ways to accomplish the law's goals.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAC) credit strategists are out swinging for loan funds versus bonds this week, arguing that the first group has "a better long-term value proposition than bonds while also shielding investors from the risk of rising interest rates."
The boom year for junk bonds is slowing down both in performance and asset flows. As my colleague Michael Aneiro pointed out on Thursday, junk-bond funds and ETFs registered a teeny tiny $9.5 million net inflow in the week ended Wednesday, according to Lipper data. The two big junk-bond exchange-traded funds, the SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK), and the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG), registered outflows of $153 million and $65 million respectively over the week through Thursday, according to XTF.com. The HYG ETF is up 11.7% for the year on a total return basis, according to Morningstar. But the one-month gain is 0.8%, after trimming 0.3% in the last week.
Loan-fund flows, meanwhile, are picking up, to the tune of five $400 million or better weekly inflows of the last six, according to figured cited by BofA's Hans Mikkelsen and Neha Khoda. But auguring in loan funds' favor, the brisk pace is relatively new. Loan funds are not nearly as picked over when it comes to fund flows, by BofA's figures. Non-U.S. high yield has seen huge inflows, as have emerging market debt and U.S. high yield.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder. Barrons.com's Focus on Funds looks under the hood of ETFs, mutual funds and hedge funds for overlooked values, actionable ideas and the latest pitfalls for fund investors.

News: Joe Budden Slaughters The "Love & Hip Hop" Dating Rumors
Friday, Apr 5, 2013 11:50PM
Slaughterhouse's Joe Budden has cleared up rumors and speculation which suggest he has officially hooked back up with former flame Tahiry Jose based on his relationship with eye-catching "Love & Hip Hop" cast member Kaylin Garcia coming to an end.
According to Budden, he is single and not interested in rushing into another serious relationship just yet.
"It didn't definitively tell very much," Budden said of the show's season finale when he appeared on "RapFix Live" on Wednesday. "It ended with Tahiry and I trying to co-exist, trying to see if we can do that successfully. It didn't end in a relationship with Tahiry." Budden understands why many fans who saw Monday's show on VH1 came away thinking that he and Tahiry had reunited officially -- after all, they did take a trip to the Dominican Republic together and lay in bed with one another. "I would never do that. I would never jump from one relationship directly into another. Though it may have appeared that way, that's not what happened," he said. "I'm single and celibate," he declared to "RapFix" host Sway Calloway. (MTV)
Last month, Tahiry also denied the Budden romance rumors.
"No, don't believe the hype," Tahiry said when asked if she and Budden are back together. "Don't believe the hype. Like I said, you guys, don't believe the hype but you guys should tune in Monday night at 8 on VH1. [Me and Joe blog rumors?] What else is new? Like I said, you can't believe everything you read. [Him and Kaylin breaking up and us getting back together?] That's something you should ask Joe about -- me and Joey are not back together. I'm going to let you guys know that right now." ("The Breakfast Club")
A few days prior, gossip of Joe and on-camera girlfriend Kaylin Garcia splitting up surfaced online.
Rumors has it that Joe Budden has officially ended his very public, Instagram-fueled, relationship with 20 year-old, gangsta-grilled banger Kaylin Garcia. From what we hear, Joe has wanted to leave Kaylin for a while now, but felt bad for her as she had little life of her own. In addition, Bossip sources confirm that the has the "Zumba instructor" has moved out of Joe's New Jersey home and his life, also that Joe could be back to chopping down his big booty bae Tahiry! We can't say that we are totally shocked. It seems since the new seasons of Love & Hip-Hop New York started there have been little to no freaky Instagram pics, no lovey-dovey tweets, not to mention Kaylin's very limited camera time with Joe outside of the fight with Tahiry. We're sure more details will emerge from this never-ending clusterfawk love triangle soon enough. Stay tuned... (Bossip)
Back in 2009, Tahiry addressed their publicized break-up after a solid 5 years together.
"I just feel like -- I'm never going to speak bad about Joey," Tahiry promised. "I love him. Five years. It was a long time. We were just growing apart. We were not in the same zip codes. I just didn't feel like after five years we were building that foundation together. For a long time it was, 'Joe, Joe, Tahiry, Tahiry.' When it was beneficial, it was Joe and Tahiry. But you know after five years, you're supposed to feel like you're building something. I didn't feel like we were building anything...I dated one other rapper [Ed. note--that would be Fabolous]. We're very good friends now, contrary to belief. Very good friends. Remember after that I said, 'Ugh! Never a rapper!' Not because he was bad, because it was a lot. People think it's easy. All glitz and glamour, but it's not that easy. Then Joey came. And when he came, it wasn't supposed to happen, but I'm glad it did. I'm not interested in dating anyone right now. But I'm not saying never say never because you know sh*t happens" (Complex)

According to a diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks, U.S. troops massacred an Iraqi family in the town of Ishaqi in 2006, handcuffing and then shooting 11 people in the head including a woman in her 70′s and five children ages five and under.
McClatchy is reporting that the soldiers then called in an air strike on the house to cover up evidence of the killings.
This account differs sharply from an official version of the 2006 incident, which indicated that coalition forces captured an al Qaeda in Iraq operative in the house, which was destroyed in a firefight. The WikiLeaks cable, however, corroborates accounts by Ishaqi townspeople and includes questions about the incident by Philip Alston, the U.N.'s special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
The cable is dated twelve days after the incident, which took place March 15, 2006. In it, Alston says that autopsies performed in Tikrit on bodies pulled from the wreckage of the farmhouse indicated that all of the dead had been handcuffed and shot in the head.
The victims included "at least 10 persons, namely Mr. Faiz Hratt Khalaf, (aged 28), his wife Sumay'ya Abdul Razzaq Khuther (aged 24), their three children Hawra'a (aged 5) Aisha (aged 3) and Husam (5 months old), Faiz's mother Ms. Turkiya Majeed Ali (aged 74), Faiz's sister (name unknown), Faiz's nieces Asma'a Yousif Ma'arouf (aged 5 years old), and Usama Yousif Ma'arouf (aged 3 years), and a visiting relative Ms. Iqtisad Hameed Mehdi (aged 23) were killed during the raid."

(WMC-TV) - As Mid-South residents, we were beaming with pride this week as Memphis music received the recognition it deserves.
First Lady Michelle Obama greeted our music legends, past, present and future, with the words, "Memphis is in the house!" And of course, she meant the White House where students attended a workshop with instructors like Sam Moore, Justin Timberlake, and Charlie Musslewhite.
That evening, they were joined by some of our other musical all-stars for a magnificent night of Memphis soul music that will be shown on the PBS television network next week. Memphis can rightly claim a legacy of leadership in many musical genres, but it's always great to see the Stax group receive the recognition they are due.
Closer to our own TV family, this week, we're celebrating as four Memphians made the cut on NBC's singing competition, The Voice. We'll be cheering for all of them as that competition plays out here on WMC-TV 5 over the next two months.
That's my turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment or anything else, email email@example.com or call 800-465-1210.

Anthony Kyle Beasley, 21, was arrested and charged with second-degree unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance after police found finished meth product and components for a meth lab inside his home.
Adam Hadder, assistant director of the Walker County Narcotics Enforcement Team, said Deputy Jim Browne was patrolling Coon Creek Road around 12:20 a.m. on July 11 when he noticed a strong odor coming from one home.
"There was a guy on the porch and he quickly went inside the home when he saw the officer," Hadder said.
Browne, who Hadder said has had specialized training in meth labs, went to the front door of the home and immediately realized the odor was the result of someone manufacturing methamphetamine.
"He said the odor was extremely strong and he thought there could be an active lab inside," Hadder said.
Beasley came to the door when Browne knocked and allowed the deputy and NET officer Steve Smith, who had been called to the scene, to search the home. Hadder said the officers found an inactive meth lab, five grams of finished meth product and several components used in making meth labs.
"Luckily the lab wasn't active, but even an inactive lab can have an odor that lingers for hours, which was what Deputy Browne noticed as he was patrolling the area," Hadder said.
Meth production continues to be one of the top drug problems in Walker County, Hadder said.
"Labs are more clandestine than in the past," he said. "People are trying to go farther into the woods or in areas with less population to produce meth. We don't get as many calls from neighborhoods as we have in the past, but the amount of meth being produced here is still a major problem."
A bill, which wasn't passed in the Alabama Legislature this year, would have made psuedoephedrine, a main component in methamphetamine, only available with a prescription.
Hadder said the bill would help law enforcement in the fight against meth and urged citizens to contact their legislators about the issue.
"It didn't happen this year, but people should contact their representatives and senators to voice support for the bill," Hadder said. "Feedback from voters could go a long way in getting the law passed."

How about the cities and state drastically cut their spending? It doesn't matter from which pot money is taken, in the end we're all paying for this through taxes. Start eliminating bureaucracy and cutting the pensions and this would be a mute point.

It is hard for me to respect people who don't know the difference.
(Where did you go to school?)
And cutting pensions is NOT the answer.
IF you want good people to work for government, and you cut pensions,
then you will have to pay them more. And salary is taxible, so you have to pay even more to make up for that.
Part of the problem is PAYING for pensions.
Most pension funds were not fully paid for, because in better times the return on investment of the funds was helping fund them. Then, when that stopped being true, the gov'ts did not increase their contribution, as they should have. now they need to make up the difference.

Fail Bowl n.
A football game between two teams with fired head coaches.
Derek Dooley is out. If he's lucky, he'll be on the first bus to Athens to spend Christmas with his Daddy Vince before the Volunteers can draw and quarter him. While our parting with Joker has been as peaceful as such partings can be (indeed, it has gone better than anyone could have expected) I could have sworn I saw pitchforks out on the UT campus this morning. They take this way too seriously.
Then again, generations of heartache gives you the sort of perspective a UT fan can't be expected to have yet. Maybe we should take some Chicago Cubs fans with us and I would recommend some Red Sox and Lions fans as well, but those two are actually doing sorta well lately.
In any case, Dooley is fired, and with the Vols in total disarray the time has come to let the Dooley regime part by giving Tennessee the unthinkable - a 2 game losing streak to us.
1) We may or may not see Dooley burned in effigy in the stands. Bringing flammables to Knoxville is not advised.
2) Even if we lose, the Vols will be upset with the teams performance.
3) I'll place even odds on this being the highest scoring SEC football game in history. It may also be a higher scoring game than either basketball game we play in February. Our kids have finally learned to stop an FCS squad, and the Vols currently couldn't stop a well oiled high school offense. That said, they have one of the best offenses we've seen. It'll be like we're playing against the 1997 UK Wildcats - another team that can hang 50 to 60 on you, but would let you score 40 no matter how horrible you were.
Final score prediction UK 86 - UT 80. It's gonna be a wild Thanksgiving Saturday.

Baseball announces X-Mas Pitching Clinic on Dec. 5-6
Related Links
The JU baseball team has announced the addition of the Tim Montez Advanced Pitching X-Mas Clinic on Saturday, Dec. 5 and Sunday, Dec. 6, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at John Sessions Stadium.
Run by pitching guru Tim Montez, this camp is designed for players interested in intensified pitching instruction from one of the top pitching coaches in the nation. This advanced pitching clinic is a perfect tune-up for the high school player for the upcoming Spring season.
It will cover all of the drills, and mental training that the Dolphin pitching staff currently goes through. It will also include weight training and special stretching exercises that will foster healthy arm care. There will also be digital video-taping to analyze each pitchers mechanics. This clinic has a limited enrollment to insure that each pitcher receives the individual attention needed over the two day period to improve their game.
Montez, who has 18 years of experience at the Division I level (JU, Fresno State, Arkansas, UC Santa Barbara, Cal State Northridge, UC Santa Barbara, Pepperdine), has had 31 pitchers sign professional contracts and has coached six current Major League pitchers: Matt Garza (Fresno State), Doug Fister (Fresno State), Cliff Lee (Arkansas), Justin Lehr (UC Santa Barbara), Russ Ortiz (Montclair HS) and Barry Zito (UC Santa Barbara).

I dropped it around episode 13, Kiddy-Girl-and, i Loved season 1 so much even though the ending left much to be desired… a show that started off with a bang left on a whimper, kinda like Eden of the east. One of my most recent favorite shows that ended a while back. Had a GREAT start but lost steam as it went along. I might go back to KGA based on what I've read on episode recaps online seeing as how things get interesting again past midway. But in the long run it reminds me of the pacing of …

Somethings wrong with u buddy… it seems like you stopped at the plot synopsis instead of even bothering to watch one episode with a comment like that on Astarotte… Last Exile Fam is awesome, again, obviously someone doesn't know how to connect the two plots together… reminds me of the people who complained that Chrono Cross wasn't a true sequel to Chrono Trigger. News Flash: it was, it just wasn't the sequel YOU were hoping for… :/
- Top 25 Most Underrated Anime:
@00:26 That's the reason why it succeeds, because it was about the characters and not about the card game, which is how you were viewing it. If you were thinking "dear god not another yugioh" then you're watching the wrong show buddy. Chihayafuru is an excellent show, knowing that it will A) Never get a US release (marketing problems are so obvious on this one…) and B) the sales for it in Japan are probably gonan tank… and hard… so that it'll never get a second season make me sad :'(

Entertaining trash. Gekkan Shoujo is top 5 material, that show is awesome. Terror at the very least in the second slot is great; because love it or hate it, there's just no way SAO II is relinquishing it's throne anytime soon as much as I hate to say that.

Richard S. Weil
Attorney - Mediator
Disputes and conflicts are facts of life. When people are unable to resolve their differences, they often file lawsuits, and the expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable process of litigation begins. Surprisingly, just 3% of the lawsuits filed in New York end in a trial. A small percentage are dismissed. So it is very likely that a case will settle at some point. The question is, when?
Mediation is a useful tool for exploring settlement early in a case, or even before suit is filed. It allows people to address the issues that are important to them and to control the outcome. It is generally faster and less expensive than litigation. Most often, it works, producing settlements that benefit everyone.
As a lawyer and a mediator, Richard Weil has a deserved reputation for resolving disputes effectively and efficiently. His 43 years' experience as a litigator and transactional attorney and his two decades of ADR service give him a breadth of legal knowledge and an understanding of the human factors that underlie many conflicts. He is patient, persistent, creative and well-prepared. He is able to put people at ease and to understand and convey different points of view. Mr. Weil helps parties explore their cases' strengths and weaknesses and assess the risks and costs of continued litigation. Above all, he is committed to helping parties resolve their disputes.
Mr. Weil is an active member of the New York mediation community. He is a member of the State Bar Dispute Resolution Section Executive Committee and the City Bar ADR Committee. He mediates for Federal and State Courts, serves on the ADR Advisory Committee of the Manhattan Commercial Division, leads State and City Bar mediation initiatives and has written about mediation for the ABA and State Bar Dispute Resolution magazines and the New York Law Journal (See "Articles" on this website.)
