News: "I Guess I'll Get [Peace] When I'm Dead," Says Bow Wow [Video]
Wednesday, Dec 8, 2010 2:35PM
Cash Money Records' Bow Wow has broken his silence on controversial Twitter messages he posted last month hinting at the young star possibly attempting suicide.
Denying having contemplated taking his life, Bow Wow admitted to believing he would never achieve mental clarity while living.
"All I know is the business, I ain't had time to go play football or none of the regular stuff," Bow Wow said to radio personality Angie Ange. "So at times, it haunts you. It do because of course you're gonna be unbalanced. How can you have balance in life when you haven't seen the other side? I'm unbalanced because I've only seen one side of life. I ain't seen the other side. It's not by choice, it's just how it is. Some days I wake up and I do just want to fit in sometimes -- I didn't really mean it like, 'Yo, I'm gonna kill myself,' it's like, when will I get peace? I guess I'll only get it when I'm dead. So that's how I meant [it], I didn't mean it like, 'Yo, I'm about to kill myself right now.'" (KYSDC)
A few weeks ago, Slim Thug questioned Bow Wow's hip-hop regrets.
"I'm nowhere near Lil Wayne or T.I. with success, but I feel so blessed and successful to be where I'm at," Slim said in an interview. "So I never felt like I wish I was dead. Bow Wow is trippin' and he need to shake whatever that is off and understand he blessed. He got a lot of success. At the end of the day this n*gga made hits and he got songs I like. He need to be proud of whatever the f*ck he did and shake that sh*t and don't ever say no sh*t like that again. For real that's real sh*t right there." (XXL Mag)
In early November, Bow Wow revealed his internal feelings about his career.
"I swear i be wishing i was dead sometimes. Because i feel like that's the only way ill get peace.," Bow tweeted Saturday (November 6).
"People don't know me man. Yall don't ... start looking at Shad. Not Bow wow. F*ck Bow. I go through sh*t daily. I'm Just like yall"
"I sacrificed my life for this Hip Hop sh*t. I put my "REAL" life on hold. If i could do it over.... I wudda went to school. Got me a reg job." (Bow Wow's Twitter)
In an interview prior to the infamous tweets, Bow Wow discussed his upcoming, currently untitled Cash Money Records debut being a controversial LP.
"This album will be my most personal and probably most controversial because of the title," Bow said in an interview. "Some might hate on it, but it's true. It's going to make people understand why I'm feeling like that. I haven't announced the title, but I pretty much have it confirmed in my head...There's a certain perception of me. But I'm ready to open up and give the world all of me. I had to sacrifice acting up an image that I never wanted in the first place, and I did it because it was the only situation that was going to put my mother in the right place and take care of my family. But it doesn't feel good doing sh*t that you don't really feel good about. I never felt like I could be me. Now, I'm ready to say if you don't like it, than you don't like me." (VIBE)

Top-ranked super middleweight Lucian Bute went head-to-head against Jean Pascal during last night's (Jan. 18, 2014) big boxing event on HBO, dubbed "The Super Bowl of Boxing," which took place inside the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
When all was said and done, Pascal cruised to a unanimous decision win on the judges' scorecards, earning 116-112 from Claude Paquette, 117-110 from Pasquale Procopio and 117-111 from Jack Woodburn. Michael Griffin was the referee.
Bute falls to 32-1 while Pascal improves to 29-2-1.
In the co-main event, Mike Perez and Carlos Takam battled to a majority draw. It was a tepid affair and the most action the bout saw came from an accidental headbutt in the first half of the fight, opening up a sizable gash on Perez. They picked up the pace a bit in the later rounds, but it was not enough to establish a clear-cut winner.
Maybe next time.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has lowered its outlook on Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR) to negative from stable as continued weakness in coal markets will likely challenge the company's operating conditions.
Megan Johnston, a credit analyst at the firm, said operating conditions for Alpha will remain challenging for the foreseeable future due to ongoing weakness in the Central Appalachian thermal and metallurgical coal markets.
S&P cites natural gas substitution and global economic sluggishness for the lackluster demand, saying credit measures at Alpha will remain weak at least through next year.
The ratings firm backed the coal producer's corporate credit rating of B-plus, which is four notches into junk territory.
Many coal companies have shut down mines in response to one of the weakest markets for the fuel in decades, as low natural-gas prices sap demand for coal.
Last week, Alpha reported its first-quarter loss widened as coal revenue continued to slide amid weak demand for the fuel.
Shares closed at $7.27 and were unchanged after hours. Through Friday's close, the stock is down 47% over the past 12 months.

Title IX Hurt Men's Sports at Olympics
Article here. Excerpt:
'Feminist-imposed gender quotas hurt us at the Olympics in events which our Nation once dominated. The systematic elimination of certain men's sports from colleges has weakened our competitiveness. We won only four medals in all of men's wrestling, less than half the total won by Iran, and only a fraction of the medals won by Russia in this masculine sport. Wrestling is an immensely popular and valuable sport; it's inexpensive and safer than other sports. Wrestling develops discipline in boys. Many high-achievers, such as Donald Rumsfeld and pro-life attorney Phill Kline, developed their toughness as wrestlers.
But although tens of thousands of high schools have thriving wrestling programs for boys, at the college level Title IX gender quotas have cancelled wrestling at all but a fraction of colleges. Many hundreds of successful college men's wrestling programs have been eliminated, not for financial reasons, but due to Title IX gender quotas. These quotas typically require that the percentage of men and women in intercollegiate sports at a college equal the percentage of men and women enrolled as students, even though many colleges have become 60% women and only 40% men.'

Tune in LIVE to the Triple Feature tonight at 9:00 PM Central, to hear Tom, Joe and I shoot the shit about Monsters vs. Aliens and probably some other stuff. If you've always wanted to ask the three of us a question, we regularly answer reader/listener questions on the show — just shoot us an e-mail at group (at) thetriplefeature.com.
If you can't make it for the live recording, don't forget that you can always download the show as a podcast through iTunes — it's free, and believe me, you get what you pay for with the three of us. 100% professionals, we are. ahem
So! We have a bit of a contest — a Multiplex/Night Projectionist Give-away! Those of you who have been paying attention noticed the copy of The Night Projectionst #1 in the last few strips, and writer Robert Heske has been kind enough to sign three copies for me to give to three lucky winners. (You'll also get a free copy of the Multiplex eBook: HD Edition #1 not signed by anybody, but that's really old, so whatever.)
But I couldn't just give it away to three random people, no. Drawing inspiration from today's Multiplex strip, I want you to go to the Multiplex Forum (sign up if you have to) and share the story of your Creepiest Date Ever. You can use the term "creepy" loosely, if you want — just make it an interesting story. The three best stories before NEXT MONDAY will get copies of the comic(s). See additional rules in the forum post.
(If you don't win, don't feel bad — you can still read The Night Projectionist Noir online every week.)

Trailer Watch: The Theory of Everything trailer
Friday, August 15, 2014
There's no telling how the film will turn out, but the trailer for The Theory of Everything impressed me by having a respectably balanced focus on both the life of Stephen Hawking (and relationship with his first wife) and the work he is so admired for, unlike so many other film biographies of so-called Great Men.
James Marsh (Man on Wire) directs Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones in the November 7th release.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Federal regulators say aggressive efforts to collect debt from patients at the University of Minnesota Medical Center violated patient protection laws.
Federal documents show that the Fairview-owned hospital repeatedly subjected patients and their relatives to "abuse and harassment" during bill-collecting attempts in the emergency room and other wards.
Fairview says it has made several changes and expects "to be found in full compliance" once follow-up site visits are completed.
Minnesota Department of Health complaints director Stella French says Fairview has enough time to correct the problems and avoid sanctions.
Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson sued Fairview's bill collecting company, Accretive Health Inc., earlier this year. An out-of-court agreement bans the Chicago company from doing business in Minnesota for at least two years, although Accretive denied any wrongdoing.

I swear I think I have to go to like 2 or 3 job talks a week! Last week at the last minute, I got sucked into giving a tour of our environmental labs. Not that I don't like being rampantly judgmental of faculty candidates, but seriously, I have a dissertation to finish... Unless of course you meant that *you* were the one giving job talks...

Sounds like a good mix of core and swim. I suck at swim-math. I just realized yesterday that I added up all of last weeks workouts incorrectly - and thus shorted myself some 300yards. Boo. :(

About time, Big Ten Network!
Here's psuwresfan on scoring chances for Iowa and PSU:
125: McD vs Precin – Precin beat him once and was winning a 2nd time before getting pinned.
133: Futrell vs Ramos – Futrell beat him at Midlands and could easily do it again.
141: Kennedy vs Marion – I don't think they've wrestled but certainly a toss up.
149: done
157: Taylor vs St. John – Taylor heavy favorite
165: Yohn vs Janssen – Janssen won the match in the dual meet and is a slight favorite. But J Rob sucks so he'll [Yohn] lose.
174: Lofthouse vs Manuel – manuel beat him by a point in the dual, but Lofthouse wrestling better now toss up
184: Grambrall vs Dallago – Didn't wrestle yet but could be a good bout, Grambrall is the favorite though
197: Brandvold vs Lofthouse – Brandvold is the favorite and wrestling well but should be close
Hwt: Raising vs Nelson Raising won 4 2 in the dual meet but who knows how these fattys will wrestle.
Penn State:
125: Pataky finished 7th
133: Long vs Graff – Long dominated the first match but this one should be much closer still a favorite.
141: Alton vs Friedly – Haven't wrestled but Alton should be heavy favorite, chance for bonus
149: Molinaro vs Grajales – Molinaro won earlier this year Grajales is tough. Molinaro slight favorite
157: Taylor vs St. John – Taylor big favorite hopefully bonus
165: Vollrath gets 7th – HUGE PIN
174: Ruth vs Heflin – Haven't wrestled Ruth is the favorite but must wrestle much better than he did yesterday. Small chance for bonus.
184: Wright vs Steinhaus – Steinhaus Dominated wright earlier this year, but Wright is better. Still big underdog but he has been all tournament. A win here would be gigantic and would be a great moment for the team in a ton of ways.
197: Done
HWT: Wade vs Apland – Wade has beaten Apland several times this year but meh.
So there's still a chance Penn State just has to take care of their own business and hope Iowa drops a few of these matches.

Sacramento, CA --- After quite a bit of nibbling, I'm Confident got his picture taken last week for trainer Bob Johnson and pilot Tyler Smith. He'll attempt a curtain call in Saturday's Cal Expo headliner while facing a slightly tougher group.
The 8-year-old son of The Panderosa comes into the assignment with $272,000 in his bank account and a 1:53 mark that was established last season at Hoosier Park. The fact that he gamely re-rallied to get the job done last week will not be lost on the bettors.
"He was one of three horses I bought last summer in Indiana from Gilbert Herrera," said Johnson, who co-owns the performer with Marty Garey and Hank Wieseneck. "All three had over $200,000 on their card, but he's the only one who really worked out.
"He has that back class working for him and I was actually shocked he was on the lead last week and then re-rallied to beat the favorite. As far as Tyler Smith is concerned, I've never seen a driver with so much talent at such an early age."
Last summer at age 20, Smith became the youngest driver in harness racing history to reach 1,000 victories. He has been dividing his time between Northfield Park in Ohio and Cal Expo of late, although the nasty weather back East shut down Northfield earlier this week.
"I was driving for Bob this summer and he suggested I look into coming to Cal Expo," said Smith, who will turn 21 later this month. "After talking with (General Manager) Chris Schick, I was very excited about the opportunity."
Smith, who captured the Hoosier Park driving crown, noted that he actually prefers to race on a mile track.
"On a half-mile track, post position can be a big handicap and you almost always have to be moving. I like the chance to be patient and think a little more out there."

Peeking Easter Bunny Cookie+Cupcakes
I wanted to do something different for Easter Cupcakes so I started sketching some ideas. One that stuck was using cookies along with the cupcakes. (I guess it's still on my mind since I just did that with Praline Cupcakes.
I thought it'd be cute to have little cutout bunnies peeking out of 'grass' in a flower pot. (yet another one of my cupcake ideas revisited…)
They turned out just as I had hoped and as always the cookie + cupcake combo was deeelicious!
cupcakes (I used fresh strawberry cupcakes: recipe, here)
green gel dye
bunny cut out cookies
Use any sugar cookie recipe and cut out bunny shapes, bake cookies and let cool.
While the cookies are cooling I made a simple mixture of powdered sugar and water, with a touch of gel dye.
Using a clean paintbrush (I have a set just for baking) I painted the ears and the face.
For the eyes I used the same technique with the paintbrush just using cocoa powder, powdered sugar and water. Set aside the bunny faces to dry.
Bake your cupcakes and while they are cooling tint your buttercream green. I didn't want fancy piping, I just wanted it to look like crazy grass, so I frosted them then tapped at the top with a spatula until the frosting became spiky.
I added more green to the leftover frosting and added touches here and there = that gave contrasting grass colors.
Place the frosted cupcakes in the ceramic pots. You can get these at your local craft store for under a dollar. These 2″ pots are the perfect size.
Instead of just jamming the cookie in the cupcake, I cut a small slit so the cookie will be stable. Not too deep, just enough so the cookies sit nicely.
Carefully place the cookies, being careful not to break the ears off!
I added a few sugar flowers and wafer leaves which make the flower pots even cuter. Once the cookies are in you are ready to serve!
These would make cute little place settings for a lovely easter brunch!

There are many women that want to change up the look of their style and perhaps create a funky appearing hair do, but they don't want to live with the permanent nature that comes with many of the styles and colors that come with these hairdos. For these women, there is now a solution that can come with these hair dos, including the use of hair accessories, rather than creating permanent changes within the style.
With the use of hair accessories, it can be simple to make the small changes within the style, or even drastic changes within the style that can be easily adjusted and removed. Here are some tips that you can use while using funky hair accessories to create the style that you want.
When choosing hair accessories, you don't always have to stay within the same length of hair. There are many hair accessories that are available to change the appearance of the length of the hair. For example, are you looking for something to create the appearance of longer hair? Consider hair accessories like clip in hair extensions that are available in a variety of colors. Are you looking to create the appearance of shorter hair? Use clips to pin up the edges of the hair, under the bottom layer to create the look of a sharp bob. Using hair accessories, you can easily transform the appearance of the hair, down to the length.
Hair accessories can even be used to create funky looks when it comes to creating various colors and textures within the hairstyle through the use of clip in hair accessories that can add jolts of color to the everyday styles. Now you can have color without damaging the hair or taking advantage of permanent choices within the hairstyle, too.

In his new book, Christ to Coke, art historian Professor Martin Kemp examines eleven mega-famous examples of icons, including the American flag, the image of Christ's face, the double helix of DNA, and the heart.

A few weeks ago, we were joined by two wonderful new publicity assistants, Nick and Bobby. Now that they're settled in, I decided it was time to harass properly introduce them to you. Hopefully this (incredibly interesting) Q&A will show how lucky we are to have them on board.
Do you speak (or pretend to speak) any other languages?
Nick: Yes, Farsi. My parents were born and raised in Iran. They came to the US to continue their studies at college. They met here in the States and a few years later I entered the picture. My first language was, in fact, Farsi. I grew up in a house where my parents and grandparents both spoke to me in Farsi. I did not learn English until I was in early elementary school. Looking back, this now explains so much…
Bobby: I studied Spanish up until sophomore year of college, but I can't really call what I do with the language "speaking" it. I also studied some Japanese when I studied abroad, and I can now ask where the train station is, I think.
What is your favorite book that was not originally published in English?
Nick: War and Peace. I read it for the first time a few years back after my brother continuously insisted on my commitment to finishing the behemoth of a book. Finally, I gave in and I am now forever indebted to him. This book is my bible and is undoubtedly this best piece of literature ever created. It is both a beautiful story as well as a deep philosophical piece that proves to be a perpetually modern novel that will never lose its relevance in society. This is the only intellectual answer I will provide, promise.
Bobby: Labyrinths by Borges, which might not count since it's a collection of short stories. No other author has inspired so many moments of disturbed awe and wonder for me. I like when a book freaks me out enough that I have to leave the room.
Fill in the blank: Don't stop _____________.
a) believing
b) 'til you get enough
c) the music
Nick: 'til you get enough.
Bobby: Believing, duh.
What's your favorite viral video?
Nick: Does Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video count?
Bobby: Stalking cat.
Which is more awesome: a Jesus Christ lizard, or a 0 Comments on Meet the New Assistants! as of 1/1/1900

I'm cheating (just a tiny bit) today. Liz and I have this whole "Exercise of Writing" week going on, and I need it and Poetry Friday to play nice together. So, I'm giving you some poetic excerpts from one of my favorite books about sports (and so much more):
I own the hardback, which looks quite different.)
Wrestling Sturbridge was Rich Wallace's first book, and he's gone on to write many more. But when I met him at the Highlights Foundation Writer's Workshop at Chautauqua, he had just published this strong debut novel, with blurbs on the back from the likes of Robert Cormier, Jerry Spinelli, and Chris Crutcher. (It also received starred reviews from Booklist and Publisher's Weekly, and was noted by ALA as a Quick Pick and a Best Book for Young Adults.) He's still on the Writer's Workshop faculty today, so catch him there, if you can.
You would think that I (a girl) would not like a book (about a boy) that features a sport (wrestling) that I've never attempted, but you would be wrong (arm twisted behind your back wrong.) I love this story, and one reason is the short poetic lists that are interspersed throughout the book. Here's one:
Things I've done twice:
* pinned Al (seventh grade)
* told my father to go to hell
* read Conditioning for Wrestling: The Iowa Way
Things I haven't:
* left home for four days
* been suspended from school for
telling a teacher to kiss my ass
* had sex
And here's one more:
What happens before a match (in this order):
* diarrhea and mood swings
* a kind of prayer where you curse at
God and beat yourself up, then tell
God you're sorry and he says it's okay
* a concentrated sense of focus
What doesn't:
* you don't joke around with anybody
* you don't resign yourself to losing
* you never say it doesn't matter what
Maybe Rich Wallace didn't think of those brief interludes as poetry. But I choose to.
Poetry Friday is hosted today at Mentor Texts & More. Come play.

At first I wasn't sure what I'd do for this, but the first thing that popped into my mind was a song called "Enough." Then I remembered a sketch I'd done about 4 years ago - I was doing a lot of stained glass back then and it was a design for a glass panel (entitled "Ascension"). It also reminded me of one main aspect of my faith - that Christ's death and resurrection were "enough." The debt is paid in full.
very nice line work! interesting to do stained glass work.
Beautiful...I love the lines and the feeling of power in this piece. I do hope you create the stained glass some day....that extended hand will be tricky.
I, too, am glad that Christ's death was enough. Amen.
Beautiful design - I would love to see this done in glass!

While Adam Vinatieri is on the mend from hip surgery, the Colts have quietly brought in former-Cowboys kicker Billy Cundiff for a tryout.
Cundiff, who wasn't immediately available for comment, is currently an NFL free agent and isn't quite ready to hang up his helmet. He auditioned for the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago and is trying out today for the Colts with hopes of securing a spot on the roster.
Prior to the tryouts, Billy Cundiff was working for a venture capitalist.
In other news, Joseph Addai and Mike Pollak have been held out of OTAs due to injury. That's not a good start for two guys clearly on the hot seat. (Shake Edit: Oesher reports that Addai had his knee scoped after the season, possibily the reason why he's sitting out of OTAs)

If anyone hasn't done this before, Yahoo! only lets the commish set the lineup 1 day in advance so it is easy to make mistakes.
we had this issue because we had inactive owners. hopefully we won't have that this year. if it does happen, there is no way around it. if we can't find in-season replacement (which i tried to do real hard, but in the end our replacement was inactive as well), i'll have to set the lineups.
as for choosing teams, you should not post anything at this point. we still don't know whether we'll have 5 or 6 teams available (depending on whether greyone appears until wedensday). when it's time i'll post a new thread with all due explanations. until then you're free to look, but don't touch

We have all seen it happen; a new restaurant opens with a winning concept, superb cuisine, and a popular location – yet it still fails. According to experts, the cause most likely is one of under funding. Start-up costs have a way of ballooning, and can sink a business before it even gets a chance to open. How much opening a restaurant costs is determined by many factors; there are ways a frugal businessperson can keep costs low to help ensure a restaurant's success. If an expense can wait, put it off until your restaurant is turning a profit.
- Facilities Costs vary widely, depending on whether you will be leasing or buying your facility. While construction costs can add up quickly on new buildings, taking over a unit from a similar business can drastically lower your outlay. You will need signage so customers can find your restaurant.
- Equipment New building costs can run as high as $500,000 for ventilation systems, refrigeration and cooking appliances, and bar equipment. If your space is already outfitted for a restaurant, you will just need to take care of upgrades and any equipment specific to your cuisine. You will need to obtain furniture, linens, furnishings, and pots, pans, dishes, glasses, utensils, cutlery, and storage containers.
- Food and Drink Your bar and wine cellar will need to be stocked before you open. Have about a week's worth of food and staples to get you started. Experts suggest starting with a limited number of menu options – you can always add more, but this helps avoid losing money from food wastage.
- Marketing and Advertising You need to invest in print and radio ads, flyers to distribute locally, and grand opening signage to start building a customer base before you open. Social media is a very effective, low cost option to raise interest in your restaurant.
- Reserve Some experts recommend reserving 10% of your start-up budget for unforeseen expenses so you are not caught short at a critical time. An alternative is to establish a line of credit that you can tap if necessary.
- Miscellaneous
- Licenses and Permits
- Insurance- property, general liability, liquor liability, and Workers' Compensation
- Accounting (software or company)
- Telephone system and internet
- Staff uniforms
- Menus
