Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fight for liberation regressing
The Facebook page jailkerrycampbell isn't getting much traffic yet, but the San Francisco child protective services caught up with the real Kerry Campbell Wednesday and nabbed her kid. Now the overbearing beautician mama is pleading remorse and promising to check in to some self-esteem therapy.
Daughter Britney, 8, should start right away, too. Britney is a puffy-cheeked pageant contestant who got regular Botox shots -- four times in the last year, starting with her eighth birthday "present" -- from her mother, to smooth out the facial wrinkles. Most of us would have recognized these as dimples.
Britney also gets body waxed to prevent pubic hair from crowding the bikini line when she reaches puberty.
Kerry says her daughter will thank her when she's a star -- and she's going to be a star. Monster? Kerry Campbell said she's just following the advice of other pageant moms.
"It's a tough world, the pageant world."
No, it's a tough world. Especially for girls who grow up in the warped realm of a mother who will go to obscene lengths to live out her thwarted dreams vicariously. The normal, neurotic hormone-ravaged adolescence the rest of us survived is so yesterday for some kids.
I pity the young feminists RebELLEs, gathering for their second conference in Winnipeg Friday. They are girding for the new revolution, built on decades-old battles fought in consciousness-raising workshops of the 1970s, human rights tribunals in the 1980s and the boardrooms of the 1990s. The feminists of the 21st century have also taken up the job left undone globally, in countries where women are publicly stoned for adultery or where lesbians are murdered during "corrective" rapes.
Progress comes in baby steps on many fronts, socially and globally, but I see the fight for liberation regressing, too.
On the home front, in fact. I've given ground on the domestic politics of division of labour. (I've accepted the fact that if I don't wash the floors, they don't get washed.)
The more daunting challenge is the raising of our daughters and sons, particularly our girls. They are growing up in a hypersexualized world, fraught with far more land mines than what I faced 40 years ago.
It used to be an 11-year-old girl was on the tipping point of growing up female, at risk of losing her jam as she tried to survive the snake pit of junior high. That's now the lot of eight- or nine-year-olds.
Body image? Notch the age back three or four years.
And they are drowning in the not so subtle stuff, too. When I was a ruffian left to my own devices, we'd find porn mags stuffed into culverts, with empty beer bottles and used condoms. Now kids are a click away from music videos that glorify sexual exploitation, degradation and violence.
Pre-teens post breathtakingly risqué photos of themselves on Facebook. It's a dangerous practice for all the obvious reasons, but it's also dangerously coercive, moving the line of what's socially acceptable behaviour.
Once I signed into social networking, fretting about the helicopter syndrome became academic real quick; in the Internet age, the parent who is not hypervigilant is not doing the job.
Kick them out to play in traffic or explore the riverbank, it's safer out there.
The rapid sexual maturation of our girls is wrapped up in pervasive marketing. But kids learn from role models and the strongest modelling starts early, in the home.
The stuff you see or hear in the playground, virtual or down the street, is the stuff women throw at each other all the time and little girls are finely, biologically tuned to the cues of femininity.
They are expert social navigators.
They see Mom changing the way her face looks, obsessing over the bulge, hear the moms talk about their diets and body enhancements.
It is a stretch to link the routine domestic influences on girls to the mind-bendingly destructive parenting of Kerry Campbell.
But a stretch concedes the two are connected; it's a continuum.
Aging feminists fought with traditional roles. We asserted our sexuality to assert equality. Our girls are struggling to assert their value in a world where sexual prowess is equated with feminine power and perfection.
In the (r)evolution of gender equality, none of us gets to pick our battles, but I'd gladly take mine over theirs, any day.

My concerns about accuracy in a handgun are only about combat distances. I have rifles for longer ranges.
Thanks for the new sig line...
Not to waffle on an answer, range is going to depend on the intended use. When shooting practice with one of my pure defense guns, it is usually 7 yds, draw, fire, reload, fire. 10 rds total, 25 second limit. For competition matches, typically 35, 25, 20, 15- mix of standing, barricade, kneeling, etc. Law Enforcement shoots here may run from 7 yds to 65. On the other hand, I am sometimes the idiot over on the 100 yard line with the revolver with the LOOONG barrel. But I usually manage not to embarass self too badly, and at least hit the target. And yes, have stood on the range and watched a member of the USMC team use my model 36 to shoot cloverleafs at 50 ft. Having seen the trophy shelf in his office, I did have the good sense NOT to put money on the outcome.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Now that sounds like wisdom C3.
Handgun accuracy is usually about the shooter, not the gun. I have fired a lot of different pistols at varying ranges. I'm old enough to remember when mandatory qualification in an agency I worked for included a string of Single Action fire and also some actual 50 yard shooting. (At 50 yards we can quickly separate the boys from the men.) Back then you would approach the range and be issued a range gun you had never held or fired before. S&W M-10, Colt OP or PP, S&W M-15, 19, or 13, etc. All .38s and that was the common factor. You would step up to the line with a dozen other guys, shoot your 60 shot string (with some left handed shooting thrown in there), then clean the pistol and turn it in while the shoots were scored. Later if you weren't happy with the score you could go try again. Sometimes you got the exact same pistol, usually you didn't. If you could shoot, it didn't make a durn bit of difference which pistol you picked up. Can't tell you how many times we heard some novice blame the gun on his 310 score, then have nothing to say when someone else using the same gun shot a 590 (out of 600). All of the gun types were capable of covering a playing card at 50 yards. It was up to you the shooter to let them do that.
Later on PPC became in vogue and the 50 yard shoot and Single Action passed into oblivion as 25 yards became the official maximum range. [Yes, on weekends you'd maybe show up with your pet PPC revolver and spend the whole day at 50 yards competing with someone else who was also doing a 50 yard shoot. Maybe try his gun while he tried yours.] I never saw an inaccurate pistol. I did see mushy trigger pulls, creep, and loose or uncomfortable grips, but those things were fixable.
Then came modified PPC with the 25 yard shot being less important than shooting at 7 or less. Somewhere in there I transitioned from a 4" in a duty holster to become one of the 2" concealed gun guys. Private experimentation against others at the old 50 yard range on weekends soon disclosed that both the little S&W M-36 and the Colt Detective Specials could shoot quite well at 25 yards, and with a little practice and some experimentation even at 50. Similar when we all transitioned to short M-19s.
Somewhere in there agencies adopted the scoreless target in which what would have been an 8 ring shot with the old Colt K target now scored as high as a 10 shot as long as it was in a general 'lethal zone'. This was good for agencies because if we pretended a person could shoot well with a target that fudged scores, then we would spend less money on training. Around the same time period unlimited free ammo for range practice also stopped.
Likewise 'elitism,' as in being an expert shot at all ranges, could be discounted by dropping the shooting scores of marksman, sharpshooter, expert and distinguished expert, and simply substituting qualified vs. non qualified. In some agencies this allowed minimal skill shooters to be promoted as previously in at least two agencies I worked with firearms skill levels had been a pre-requisite for a promotion. Make everyone all pass or fail and everyone can theoretically go up in salary (somehow often only the new hires with college degrees but no experience went up while the ex vets with no degree stayed low salaried) even if the skill level (and experience) was less.
Around the late 80s pinpoint accuracy was very much discouraged. I got yelled at once by 3 different supervisors for cutting my initials into a 7 yard target (sheer boredom and quiet civic protest at the lowered standards that now ruled) while new recruits alongside me sprayed shot gun patterns and were scored the same. Thereafter I would put 33 rounds into the shaded area, then intentionally miss the target's kill zone. [In the 70s (and earlier) top scoring shooter for the year got a plaque and an extra week (off the books). 12 years later you got nothing.] They modified the course again and cut it down to 30 shots. On one hand some of the daintier officers were complaining of sore fingers, and on the other hand the departments were cutting costs by requiring less shooting.
Selling off the real estate where the 50 and 25 yard ranges were kept provided a cash income to the towns and agencies doing the selling. To maintain the pretense that it made no difference, indoor shooting in a trailer came into vogue. Smaller targets would somehow simulate the needed techniques for a 25 yard shot. Lead poisoning law suits soon raised their head and wax bullets came into vogue (any one else remember the Federal and S&W Ny-Clads? A teflon coated lead bullet supposedly not producing any toxic fumes) for judgment shooting. Then came the computerized laser simulator course. I got out of the game at the end of the wonder 9 craze. We qualified with bakelite 9mm bullets in a trailer, then went elsewhere to fire 9 rounds of real ammo, but in an unscored situation, least someone realize that the bakelite bullets had very little resemblance to the real thing.
I was lucky. I had a place of my own to shoot at. I quickly learned that at any practical range my 9mm Luger, my Ingles and my issued Sig 228 were all much more accurate than I would ever be. Bullet holes that touched each other were not unusual at either 7 yards or 20.
At all ranges the front sight is the king. Where it is will tell you where the bullet will go.
Trigger pull consistency and breath control is the queen that sits with the king.
Practice is the Lord that sits at their feet.
Those of us who were serious about being a little better than the other guy back in the days of the old Colt K target, fired at least 1,000 rounds a year. Some way more than that. (job training materials at tax time for the cost of the ammo.) You learned that until your skin toughened up, grooved triggers could mean bloody fingers, but smooth triggers left blisters somewhere around bullet 180 per day. Do two ro three years of that and you got fairly accurate.
IME it isn't about combat range accuracy vs. 50 yard accuracy. Rather instead it is about shooter experience and familiarity with the weapon, the ammo, and the range to the target. It's like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it, it is learned.
he pulls a knife, you pull a gun
Kdog's point is a valid one, I think. At 25 m. the accuracy potential of a handgun is just beginning to truly kick in. At 50m. it is easy enough to separate the sheep from the goats. I do a lot of long range shooting (100+ m.) with my pistols and iron sights. Consequently, accuracy is important to me. Therefore, I like to know what a pistol will do from a Ransom Rest for two reasons. First it gives me confidence in the pistol to know that it will shoot two inches at 50m. Second, it makes my burden inescapable. I know if I miss a target at that distance, the fault is my mechanics, not the gun's.
At combat distances a pistol that will do only a pitiful six inch group at 25 m. from a Ransom Rest will still be capable of a two inch group at a combat distance of 25 feet. That should be plenty good. But the important thing to remember is that nobody uses a Ransom Rest in combat. So the combat solution boils down to the shooter's ability and training not the gun's potential. Nevertheless, the shooter should try to bend the odds in his favor to the maximum possible when selecting his defensive handgun; reliability, shootability, power and accuracy in that order are the things I would consider in a defensive pistol. (shootability would encompass ergonomics, sights, trigger, feel, balance,etc.)
Just e question for my interest.
Here in germany, when a gun (pistol or revolver) is testfired and the testtarget shot at by the manufacturer and the sights zeroed in, that is always done at a range of 25m.
So the testtarget delivered with guns built here in germany, will always show the accuracy on 25m.
What is the distance chosen in the US by companies like Smith & Wesson, Colt, Springfield, and so on, for testing the new guns and zeroing them in?

When They Come for Your GunsSubmitted by Cyril on Fri, 02/21/2014 - 05:50
By MainePrepper, 10/28/2012 :
- Login to post comments
I would like to make one more observation about this.
This video is a perfect example of the argument being diverted. The question shouldn't be how you will react to the confiscation of your guns. The question is why are we only willing to use our guns to protect our guns?
The 2nd Amendment isn't for the sake of guns but to give us the ability to safeguard all our rights and freedoms. So far it doesn't seem to be working. But we still have our guns.
Oh, they're working, and well...
Guns in the hands of civilians in such massive numbers preclude the regime from various courses of action. The very fact that the people are armed and many highly trained denies them tactical options. It actually increases the chance things could be resolved peacefully, by denying effective domestic warfare by the regime.
The simple fact that we are all not locked in a dark cage in Guantanamo is the result. It's working, quite well in fact.
Sometimes you measure success in what doesn't happen. This is a perfect example.
I know what you are saying. Do you understand what I am saying?
Here is a pretty good summary I just came across. Just so I don't have to write it all myself.
As we know we still have our guns but our Rights are falling by the wayside. The government has and is slowly legislating away our natural and constitutional rights but we have yet to use the one right guaranteed in the constitution for the undeniable purpose of safeguarding all the other rights. The 2nd.
You could say that "us" having guns has slowed the progression but I say they like to do things slow and methodical anyway so it is no skin off their nose.
Now back to my question. Why is it that we will let our rights be trampled and are only willing to use our guns to protect our guns? Why would they take our guns since we have proven that we will not use them to stop their fascist tyranny?
I'm just trying to make a point. That's all.
Saw this before when it was
Saw this before when it was first posted on youtube.
He makes some good points. Hand over your guns and you will live, for a while.
Fuck you is an expensive word. I'll pay the fee and die free.
"You only live free if your willing to die free."
Problems with this guys video.
First off he watches to much Hollywood.
There will be no wholesale gun grab. It will be done subtly if at all.
The point is NOT to defend the 2nd Amendment but to defend my property, my natural rights, myself and my family.
The political system is NOT working as he seems to think.
He uses the disarmament during Katrina as an example of how allowing yourself to be disarmed strengthened the 2nd Amendment. If so then why is he so worried about disarmament?
He talks about hiding guns and giving them one or two to appease them. This is nothing new and it may work for those who have weapons that can't be traced but for most they will know just what you have before they come.
He uses a story of a surprise attack on Washington's troops where he retreated and left the guns as an example of how giving up your guns is not a bad thing cause you can always get more guns. REALLY? So they are going to take your guns but let you go out and buy more?
He is trying to make a point by demonizing those who don't agree with his assessment or the straw man he has erected. This just makes him seem condescending.
He says we should go on the offensive. Who is we and how much of what he says has he actually done?
He says we should "regroup". With whom? All groups are monitored and your group will be targeted first in any power grab.
The ratio of gun owners to government employees is irrelevant. We are not two armies squaring off against each other. Strategic retreat for victory does not compute in a gun grab scenario.
This guy is confused.
I understand
his point about handing the criminals - something (one of your guns) when they come a knockin'.
However, one of the problems with this approach is that once they are in your house (they won't be hanging out outside while you give them one of your guns) - they will steal whatever they want. Remember these people are CRIMINALS and traitors to their oaths. Handing over any guns to them will not be the end of their tyranny - it will just be the beginning.
Another point he made is: It's not about going out in a blaze of glory. This sounds logical, but if/when we get to this point - the disarmament - the real suffering will start. Since I have been on their list for years now, I don't expect any mercy from these evil people. Therefore, in my case, I would rather "Die with my boots on" vs the alternative. Just sayin, when it comes to the form of my inevitable death, I'd rather choose how I go.
"Government is the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex". - Frank Zappa
Again those words sing in my head.
"...And did you exchange, a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage?" courtesy Pink Floyd
Agreed. I would rather die with my boots on.
Huge Floyd fan
Thanks, that's a classic statement indeed.
Rogers has a huge pair, and he has spoken out against Tyranny before, and hope he keeps it up.
"Government is the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex". - Frank Zappa
Same Here
"And my people building monuments to weather the flood
I'm a leave how I came screaming covered in blood
Died once born twice both times we knuckled up
Along side our people we gon struggle with love"
-Blue Scholars
We all share this eternally evolving present moment- The past and future only exist as inconsequential mental fabrications.
Principle wins the day and if held with discipline, the value of freedom is authentically achieved while momentum preserved for its future defendants.
Despite the disappointment of unnecessary tyranny and loss, ultimately it could be said that this video is a rationalization of cowardice

Is This Android Tutorials Course Right For You?
This Course is NOT for you if...
If you have a lot of experience in learning programming languages all by yourself, and you are a PHD type of candidate, who can master software coding by just visiting different online websites and reading books, then you probably won't need this course - as you can do this better alone in a self-taught type of system.

If you want to be amongst the developers that are bidding on the mushrooming number of Android projects, and making money by offering their programming services on sites like Elance, WorkExchange, Rent-A-Coder and oDesk amongst others.
If you want to work as a freelancer that gets paid $30 to $40 per hour to write Android code, in a global market that currently has a short supply and high demand for Android coders.
If you have searched the Internet and tried other courses, only to be frustrated for not having found any systematic training program.

A Few Testimonials
Here's what some of our candidates and students who have graduated from our Android Course are saying...
This course has a lot of examples and showed me what kinds of things are possible with Android and what options can be used to make interested applications. The assignments were good practice to try my hand at new techniques and using new features of Android.
- Andrew Cockerham (Texas, USA)
EDUmobile.ORG course materials for android were well organised a person like me who was completely new to android dev to get into the pick of things quickly. I had my first app created and published in the marketplace in no time. Thanks EDUmobile.ORG for the well organized course material
- Sachin Jesukaran (Mumbai, INDIA)
I've really enjoyed the training. At the beginning of the training I had virtually no knowledge of how to write Apps for Android. The training, which I am able to do at my own pace, has brought me from ground zero, to actually writing an app that I plan to put on the market sometime in January 2011. I plan on finishing the course in a few weeks, but I will refer back to the training often.
- Chet Young (Alabama, USA)
The Sigma Android course provides a comprehensive and thorough overview of the Android development platform. The lessons are great for both beginner programmers and professionals (with informative video tutorials and code samples) and cover all the areas necessary for developing a full-fledged Android app. The course is ideal for anyone looking to get involved in Android mobile development.

After a dip in February followed a strong surge in January, new home sales edged slightly upward in March.
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, sales of new single-family homes rose 1.5 percent in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 417,000.
At the end of March, 153,000 homes were listed for sale. That's the highest listing amount since November 2011.
March's rate of 417,000 is 18.5 percent higher than the March 2012 estimate of 352,000, nicely illustrating the recent boom in sales.

A couple of things...
AUTHOR: Striderq - (U.S.A.)

2) If you decide to walk away from the car you need to realize that the company will probably sell it at auction. They will get less that your contract's full price so you will owe the difference. Additionally the repo will appear on your credit report for 7 years, decreasing your score until it "falls off".
3) The only legitimate complaint I saw was the $50 fee to recover your items. I would suggest talking to a lawyer to find out what the laws of your state/county/city say about a fee like this. I have never heard of being charged to recover your items.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Cutting To The Chase
AUTHOR: Jim - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2011POSTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2011
YOU signed a contract which required YOU to make a payment on a due date and stated YOUR failure to make the payment on or before the due date could and would result in a repo. YOU failed to make the payment on or before the due date. They exercised their right, under terms of the contract, to repo the car which they did.
Whether or not the car had problems is NOT the issue. YOU failed to perform under terms and conditions of the contract. Apparently the prospect of a repo and/or bad credit is not of concern to you as you stated they can keep the car.
Perhaps instead of bad mouthing them because they exercised their rights under the contract because YOU failed to do yours...perhaps you should look up the words:
"failure to perform"
"subprime credit"
You can go to any lawyer you wish. The bottom line here is YOU failed to perform under terms of a legally binding contract which YOU agreed to. The seller exercised their rights accordingly.
There's NO case here!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Let the Great World Spin (2009)
by Colum McCann
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was a very interesting reading. It starts with two Irish boys who will later go to New York. The main setting takes place in different parts of NY with there residents of different social backgrounds. What me struck most was how the author linked all those different characters to a whole. First they are each introduced in someone else 'biography' but with every new chapter each protagonist gets his own view of the events.
It was a fast-paced reading and I loved it until the very last page.
Wildly inconsistent characters, some of which McCann bored me half to death with. Overall, though, relatively enjoyable.
Nicely written, an enjoyable (though sad) read. More like a collection of sketches, loosely connected.
I really enjoyed this book. The second 'event' that was revealed about halfway through the book was much more interesting than the high wire walk from the beginning. This is the first of Collum McCann's novels I have read, and I am definitely open to reading more. It reminded me a lot of my absolute favorite book, If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things, in that it wove the stories of seemingly unrelated people together around a central event.

It reminded me a lot of my absolute favorite book, If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things, in that it wove the stories of seemingly unrelated people together around a central event.
This is an exceptional performance by a writer whose originality and profound humanity is evident throughout this highly original and wondrous novel.
The lousy feeling that you've been duped into buying a bogus product increases as you read Let the Great World Spin, and like all chintzy things manufactured for tourists, the book can't withstand the slightest amount of tensile pressure. Apply a little scrutiny to the artistic decisions being made, and worse and worse details appear, from the awful prose, which ceaselessly pitches and yaws between staccato bursts of words and breathless run-on sentences, to the gaudy, exhibitionist displays of grief. But tackiest of all is the way that McCann deals with his African-American characters, who come off as nothing more than anthropological specimens.
It is a mark of the novel's soaring and largely fulfilled ambition that McCann just keeps rolling out new people, deftly linking each to the next, as his story moves toward its surprising and deeply affecting conclusion.
Here and elsewhere, "Let the Great World Spin" can feel like a precursor to another novel of colliding cultures: "The Bonfire of the Vanities," Tom Wolfe's classic portrait of New York in the 1980s. But McCann's effort is less disciplined, more earnest, looser, rougher, more flawed but also more soulful — in other words, more like the city itself.
Gritty yet hopeful... in terms of sheer lyricism, McCann pulls out all the stops. My review copy was an absolute mess of Post-its and marked passages by the time I was halfway through.
A book so humane in its understanding of original sin that it winds up bestowing what might be called original absolution... a pre-9/11 novel that delivers the sense that so many of the 9/11 novels have missed.

No descriptions found.
A rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s. A radical young Irish monk struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gathers in a Park Avenue apartment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam, only to discover just how much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways. A 38-year-old grandmother turns tricks alongside her teenage daughter, determined not only to take care of her family but to prove her own worth. Weaving together these and other seemingly disparate lives, McCann's allegory comes alive in the voices of the city's people, unexpectedly drawn together by hope, beauty, and the "artistic crime of the century"--a mysterious tightrope walker dancing between the Twin Towers.--From publisher's description.… (more)

No, I just have more experience with CentOS and don't like the package manager starting services before letting you configure/secure them. I had a hostrail VM get rooted because debian started openssh after updating it. That was a problem because I had the root password set to "root" and dropbear with password auth disabled on another port.FreeVPS.us - The oldest post to host VPS providerThanked by 1Infinity

Do the LibDems want to cut spending or not?
I still can't make out what the LibDems want to do about the debt crisis. They say they will be more radical than the Conservatives, closing the deficit wholly through spending cuts rather than through a combination of spending cuts and tax rises. But, at the same time, they say they will avoid "Tory butchery".
Vince Cable promises that any cuts will be the subject of consultation with those directly affected. Yet those directly affected are surely the one set of people who, by definition, can't be objective, and who will oppose the reduction of their budgets whatever the national interest.
Most worrying of all, the LibDems now say that they would oppose any fiscal tightening this year. Yet it is precisely because Labour keeps deferring the cuts that we are in this mess. Gordon Brown is behaving like Nick Leeson, doubling and doubling in the hope of putting off the worst of the pain until after polling day. As a result, we have the same level of deficit as Greece, despite the additional trillion pounds seized in taxation since 1997. The agony will come soon enough, and will be far more severe for having been postponed.
You think I exaggerate? Then ponder this. In the time it has taken you to read this blog post, our national debt has risen by around 380,000 pounds. 390,000 now.

Sony is rumoured to be working on a new browser-based, casual MMO based on the Star Wars universe.
I don't know. Bioware's Star Wars RPG (Knights Of The Old Republic) was a very good game. Providing they don't make the graphics very demanding (so it'll run on almost any PC, just like World Of Warcraft) I can see it being quite entertaining.Originally Posted by DraigUK
I will probably try the Bioware one, but don't hold out all that much expectation of it being any good. Still. I live in hope.

An agreement has been reached to end the eight day strike at the nation's largest port complex. The crippling strike prevented shippers from delivering goods across the country.

Regretting that last hit? We've all been there—and as far as I'm aware, there's nothing you can do but kick back and wait till you've come back down to Earth. If you're looking for a little something to smooth your descent, however, a listen to Bilal's latest mixtape single through quality headphones should be just what the doctor ordered. Perennially-blunted crate-digger MADLIB mans the mixing boards on Too High, serving up a mellow, slightly discombobulated jazz backdrop for verses seemingly centered around the neo-soul mainstay and recent eOne signee's abortive romance with a superficial, success-seeking shorty. I say "seemingly," because I don't think the jam was meant to be understood straight, but the lack of THC in my system doesn't stop it from being a damn fine listen. For Too High and much more, check out Bilal's latest street album, The Retrospective, when it drops December 5, via the artist's Facebook.

Incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne reportedly owes over $1 million in taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.
According to reports, a tax lien was filed against Wayne in early June.
Lil Wayne owes some serious cash money to the IRS, which filed a $1.13 million tax lien against the star last month, according to Florida court records. The IRS filed a $1,138,760 lien against Carter on June 3 in Dade County (Fla.) Circuit Court. According to the lien, which you can see here, he owes income taxes from 2004, 2005 and 2007. The address on the lien is the same office occupied by his One Family Foundation charity. (Detroit News)
Producer Bangladesh recently accused Cash Money Records co-owner Baby of withholding money from Wayne.
"This is why Manny Fresh don't f*ck with [Cash Money] because he never got any royalty money," he said in an interview. "That's why Baby can go around flaunting this cash, because that's everyone else's money… It's not even Wayne's fault. Wayne is not getting money. He is given money, he's not getting money. If Baby gets a million dollars he'll buy Wayne a Phantom, but that's in Cash Money's name. That 14-bedroom mansion isn't Wayne sh*t. That's why he have his own company, because he was trying to leave Cash Money and the only thing that would keep him there was [if they] gave him his own thing. But Baby still controls that. All those Young Money artists don't even know that they not getting royalty money." (VIBE)
Currently incarcerated on a gun conviction, Wayne released a letter to fans this week.
"So I've been writing and let me be the first to tell you that the lyrics that I'm writing are… well there's no word that I can think of that properly defines them. Amazing would be too typical and perfect would be unfair. I listen to the radio sometimes, emphasis on sometimes, and I hear the new music. I like some. I applaud my Young Money family for what they're doing. As I'm not surprised. This is what we're supposed to do. Congrats to Drake and Nicki for all their recent success. Those 2 are going to have me retiring early. I love my team. Much love to Tez and Mack. I know that people are inquisitive of what I do all day, so here goes. I wake up around 11AM. Have some coffee. Call my kids, and my wonderful mother. I then shower up. Read fan mail. Have lunch. Back on the phone. Read a book or write some thoughts down. Have dinner. Phone. Pushups. Then I listen to ESPN on the radio. Read the bible, then sleep. That's my day." (Weezy Thanx You)
Despite serving a one-year jail sentence, Wayne could be out as early as November.
Lil Wayne is approximately halfway through his one-year jail sentence, which began March 8 when the superstar MC turned himself into authorities after reaching a plea deal. According to prison records accessed by MTV News, the rapper has a projected release date of November 4.

Hegel's 'Phenomenology of Spirit'
An Introduction

This book introduces Hegel's best-known and most influential work, Phenomenology of Spirit, by interpreting it as a unified argument for a single philosophical claim: that human beings achieve their freedom through retrospective self-understanding. In clear, non-technical prose, Larry Krasnoff sets this claim in the context of the history of modern philosophy and shows how it is developed in the major sections of Hegel's text. The result is an accessible and engaging guide to one of the most complex and important works of nineteenth-century philosophy, which will be of interest to all students and teachers working in this area.

Dear Friends:
First off, I'd like to share my regret at missing the last couple of weeks' blog. This has been a hectic time -- I am opening a new place in Connecticut on May 17th, and finishing up my third book (about sandwiches). My kitchen and cookbook duties had to come first.
But I have been reading your comments when I can, and I want to put in my two cents about one thing -- the language on the show. I'm flattered that people think I have enough input over the production and editing to impact this. In reality, we spend about six weeks shooting the show, during which time the judges are in a state of semi-isolation, kept from interacting with the chefs except in our kitchen walk-throughs and the Judges' Table. The "talking-head" interviews you see are filmed away from us and then woven later into the episode by the editorial staff. I see those interviews when you do -- when I watch the show. And you can be sure the chefs are on their best behavior when I stroll the kitchen, (though I wouldn't be surprised if they are swearing at my back, as I move on through.)
That said, I have to agree that the gutter language has been excessive. One of my biggest thrills has been meeting kids of all ages who tell me that Top Chef has induced them to try new foods, or get into the kitchen and start cooking. It bums me out to think that parents might decide to restrict their kids from watching because of the chefs' language. Admittedly, we cooks are a special, salty breed -- more longshoremen than naval officers, if you catch my drift. But I learned fairly early in my career that making my mark as a chef would require me to do more than just cook -- like interacting with the public and the press. In short, I cleaned up my act. The chefs in our competition would be wise to do the same, and hold their food and their demeanor to a high standard. To the extent that I am able, I will ask the producers to stay on the chefs about this in subsequent seasons. In the meantime, to the parents out there, my apologies.
