MP3: Talib Kweli – "Keep It In The Pocket" Kero One Remix / New Tour Dates 04.30.2009Bay Area Rapper/Producer Gives West Coast Makeover To Talib Kweli Track Critical Praise for Kero One:"Kero makes hip-hop that's not incredibly experimental yet it carries a consistently solid "kick-back-and-chill" type of resonance." - EQ Magazine"Music Vibes: 9 of 10" - RapReviews.com"The production on Early Believers is beautiful." - LeisureLab.com"Kero relies on excellent production, live instrumentation and honest lyrics from his point of view to make an album that flows from start to finish and will most likely end the year in more than a few top ten lists." - Evolving Music.comThe Song:With Kero One's recently released sophomore LP Early Believers receiving high acclaim and great reviews, the Bay Area-based rapper and producer is staying busy. Already back at work in the studio, Kero, whose production skills are featured throughout Early Believers, was hit up by DJ Deckstream to remix Talib Kweli's "Keep It In The Pocket" for Soundtracks 1.5, a compilation project also featuring remix production from the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff. Up until now this remix was only available exclusively in Japan. For fans of Kero living stateside, this remix will serve as an extra-special treat.With "Keep It In The Pocket (Kero One Remix)," Talib Kweli is given a touch of the guitar and synth-infused jazzy sounds that have become a recognizable and loved staple of Kero's productions. Up-tempo and melodic with a bouncing bass line, the remixed track is a perfect fit for Kweli and meshes seamlessly with the rappers vocals. Throughout the track Kero keeps things interesting with clever chord changes, unique percussion, and flawless guitar solos. On the intricacies of the production process Kero says, "The original was pretty hard to beat. The original version had no chorus, however, so I took one of Talib's vocals and made it into a hook. I also put my vocals on the hook to back up his existing vocals and to thicken up the hook." After a few listens, it's safe to say that Kweli should hit up Kero for some beats on his new album.

His early career was marked by endless hours of researching, cold calling, and networking to gain exposure for his debut, self produced project Windmills of the Soul. Persistence paid off with a little help from fate when one of the 50 copies of his album was picked up in a tiny record store in Tokyo, Japan. Success was immediate, as Windmills of the Soul became a hit overnight, which opened the floodgates for international touring and performance opportunities. Three years later, after a Best Hip Hop Album of 2006 award and collabos with Talib Kweli and Mark Farina, Kero One is back with his sophomore album entitled Early Believers, via his label, Plug Label. Modulating from soulful jazz tinged tracks to upbeat synth-driven party bangers, Kero One features some his favorite vocalists such as Giles Peterson protégé UK singer Ben Westbeech, Finland's own modern day "Stevie Wonder," and Portland's Ohmega Watts. Early Believers will be released in April 2009, just in time for spring cleaning and summer fun.Web editors contact Michelle to speak to Kero.Streams:Talib Kweli - "Keep It In The Pocket" Kero One Remix* http://media.audibletreats.com/Talib-Keep_It_In_The_Pockets_Kero_One_Remix.mp3 *Behind The Scenes of "When The Sunshine Comes"* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l94rMPlvkpw *

GZA Collaboration With Rock Band 'Black Lips' Premieres At AOLOne of the defining moments of this year's SXSW was the pair of surprise collaborations between Atlanta garage rock rabble-rousers The Black Lips and Wu Tang impresario GZA. This first took place off the beaten path at The Compound for Dickies Battle of the Bands, inspiring the unlikely pair to enter into a whole new chamber together. Soon thereafter, rumblings shot down 6th Street that the unlikely collabo might occur again at The Vice Records Showcase later that night at Emo's. Sure enough, immediately after the band took the stage, GZA emerged to a roomful of cheers and slack jaws. The following week, the web was atwitter with reports from both events and a grainy MTV video documented a piece of the experience.But now anyone who missed the display of hip-hop and gutter-rock allegiance has a chance to get in on the action. Indeed, the Lips are releasing an iTunes EP including 200 Million Thousand fave "Drop I Hold," along with a never-before-heard version of the song featuring verses from the Genius himself, GZA. In addition, the release will feature an instrumental version of the track and the video for the album-version of "Drop." All this, for a whopping $1.99 during its first week of availability, beginning next Tuesday, May 5th. Earlier today, AOL Spinner and AOL Boombox jointly premiered the genre-defying collaboration, recorded at Werewolf Heart Studios under the watchful eye of Engineer Filip Nikolic.

Hip Hop Heavyweight, Del the Funky Homosapien, Releases Free Album: Funk Man: The Stimulus Package 04.29.2009Del Embarks On National Tour To Promote Release; Album & Tour Sponsored by Arnette, Skull Candy, Osiris, and Bandcamp.com
* http://delthefunkyhomosapien.bandcamp.com *
Critical Praise for Del:"...Del's reputation has remained strong in both fan and critic circles." - Thrasher Magazine"The Homosapien is one hell of an entertaining MC" - YRB(April 29, 2009 - Brooklyn, NY) Less than a year after the release of his last album, Hieroglyphics member and co-founder Del the Funky Homosapien joins the ranks of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails with the free release of his new album, Funk Man: The Stimulus Package via Funnyman Entertainment. Del is currently on a nationwide promotional tour for the album and will be playing in over 30 cities.As an early adapter of technology and having the status and perspective only a veteran can possess, Del takes advantage of his unique position to adopt a still experimental distribution strategy with Funk Man's release. Even with longevity, very few artists can hope to successfully launch a free full-length album. However with Del the Funky Homosapien's solid fan base and sponsorship deals with Arnette, Skull Candy, Osiris Shoes, and Bandcamp.com, Funk Man's release not only ensures support for the creative process, but also gives fans easy access to music they crave.With a six year hiatus between Del's prior two solo releases, fans and critics may be surprised by the release of Funk Man: The Stimulus Package, which is out only a year following Eleventh Hour (Def Jux/Hieroglyphics). Del attributes this timing as a reflection of his life. Having shed the negativity that plagued him in past years, he feels a sense of renewal, which has resulted in newfound creativity. Additionally, after working consistently with record labels in his previous projects, Del is reenergized by his ability to produce music independently.Being without a record label shouldn't be cause for alarm because Del, known for his intricate, honest, and humorous word-play, funky beats and artistic versatility, continues to deliver his signature style on Funk Man: The Stimulus Package. The high-energy album is comprised of raw lyrics, driving rhythms, and Del's undeniable funkiness. Throughout Funk Man, Del challenges the listener to be genuine, especially when he says, "it's okay to be who you are. You can be free. So what if people are taking about you, they're going to be talking about you anyway and they probably want to be you. They wish they could by funky, let their hair grow out, be like you." Del shows his commitment to this message and the funk in each track, from "Get It Right Now's" sense of urgency, to "And They Thought That Was Hell's" pop culture warning, and "Straight From the Big Bad West Coast's" historical breakdown.Funk Man: The Stimulus Package marks Del the Funky Homosapien's 14th project as he has been in this hip-hop game for almost two decades. Starting at the tender age of 17 as protégé to his cousin, Ice Cube, Del quickly rose to the top of the underground hip hop scene with his albums, I Wish My Brother George Was Here (1991) and No Need for Alarm (1993), both released through Elektra Records. Soon after parting ways with the label, Del joined the Hieroglyphics family, comprised of notable emcees Pep Love, the Souls of Mischief, Casual, and Domino. In 1998 the critically acclaimed album 3rd Eye Vision was the first to be released under the Hieroglyphics Imperium label and since then Del has had consistent success with his solo and joint efforts, including Deltron 3030 (2000), Gorillaz (2001), Full Circle (2003), and Eleventh Hour (2008) to name a few.As a witness to the destructive technology, i.e. video games, that replaced the comic book industry thirty years ago and seeing the same trends within the music industry today, Del has taken a proactive approach with Funk Man, in his reluctance to rely on standard distribution models. Funk Man: The Stimulus Package is Del's journey back to basics and the timely message coupled with the LP's free release display's his acute awareness of his fan's needs and the music industry at large.Tour Dates:Wed-Apr-08 San Luis Obispo, CA SLO BrewThu-Apr-09 Pomona, CA Glass HouseFri-Apr-10 San Diego, CA CanesSat-Apr-11 Phoenix, AZ MarqueeSun-Apr-12 Tucson, AZ Club Congress (Early Show)Mon-Apr-13 Flagstaff, AZ Green RoomTue-Apr-14 Albuquerque, NM Sunshine TheaterThu-Apr-16 San Antonio, TX Warehouse LiveFri-Apr-17 Dallas, TX GranadaSat-Apr-18 Austin, TX Emo's OutsideMon-Apr-20 Baton Rouge, LA Spanish MoonWed-Apr-22 Athens, GA Georgia Theater Fri-Apr-24 Raleigh, NCLincoln Theater Sat-Apr-25 Poultney, VT Green Mountain CollegeSun-Apr-26 Burlington, VT Higher GroundTue-Apr-28 Boston, MA Middle EastWed-Apr-29 New York, NY BB KingsThu-Apr-30 Allentown, PA Crocodile RockSun-May-03 Philadelphia, PA First Utilitarian ChurchTue-May-05 Ann Arbor, MI Blind PigWed-May-06 Columbus, OH Skullys (Late Show)Thu-May-07 Lexington, KY DameFri-May-08 Chicago, IL ReggiesSat-May-09 Madison, WI High NoonMon-May-11 Columbia, MO Blue NoteTue-May-12 Omaha, NE SlowdownThu-May-14 Boulder, CO Fox TheatreFri-May-15 Denver, CO BluebirdSat-May-16 Colorado Springs, CO Black SheepMon-May-18 Salt Lake City, UT Urban LoungeStreams:"Get It Right Now"* http://media.audibletreats.com/Del-Get_It_Right_Now.mp3 ** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n52_xavMyfQ *Del's Stimulus Address* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nCTRrgmd1s *Bio, pictures, and streams available here:* http://www.audibletreats.com/download/del/ *Offical site:* http://delthefunkyhomosapien.bandcamp.com/ *MySpace:* http://myspace.com/delthefunkyhomosapien *

Drake feat. Tanya Morgan - "Right To Left" 04.28.2009Tanya Morgan's Sophomore Album Coming Soon. Move To Brooklynati on May 12th!The Song:This new track featuring Tanya Morgan is an unearthed gem from Drake's Comeback Season Mixtape recording sessions. A Toronto native who first got big from his eight seasons on the hit Canadian television show Degrassi, Drake has been labeled the next big thing by everyone from Lil Wayne to Vibe. Being mutual admirers of one another, Drake joined forces with Tanya Morgan for this track. The beat gains strength from its aggressive drums, punchy synth chords and contrasting piano melody, and provides an ideal backdrop for this old-school crew banger. The track opens with a verse by Donwill, moves on to a verse by Von Pea, then a third verse by Ilyas and finally wraps up with a verse by Drake, each emcee spitting about why he is one of the best in the game. With the weather changing and convincing us that summer may still be in line to arrive on time, this is a jam that fits perfectly with the sunshine and should keep you moving straight on through till next fall.For more information on Brooklynati local events and citywide attractions, please visit www.Brooklynati.com .Listen to the first single, "So Damn Down" - http://media.audibletreats.com/Tanya_Morgan-So_Damn_Down-DJ_Mix.mp3 .Get your virtual tour of Brooklynati here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=413Io1IQ2OA .The Background:Tanya Morgan is back with their third project, Brooklynati, following the success of Moonlighting and The Bridge. Since Von Pea, Ilyas, and Don Will formed Tanya Morgan in 2003, they have received high praise from media elites such as Spin, The Source, XXL Magazine and a resounding seal of approval from the blogosphere. Considered by many to be our generation's torchbearers for De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, Tanya Morgan will once again put their skills on display with the unique hip-hop Americana sounds of their Brooklynati album this spring. Based on the fictitious city of Brooklynati, this release pushes the boundaries of a concept album by incorporating not only lyrical imagery but also cultivating a culture and mindset, which can be experienced through the City of Brooklynati Chamber of Commerce website: http://www.brooklynati.com/home.html. The sites, sounds, memories, and events of Brooklynati will be unleashed on May 12th through Bay-Area based record label Interdependent Media, the architects behind the funding and development of Brooklynati.

Most of us have probably seen clocks or numerical displays that flip sequential boards to display the next number in a sequence. If you wanted to take that a step further, you could make a replica of "Dottie," which flips small dots as pixels. As the great video below says, it makes a "pleasant mechanical flipping sound all day." It also tells the date, chimes every 15 minutes, and gives an animation show once an hour.

You may be familiar with a website in the UK called Colour Clock (http://thecolourclock.co.uk/) which converts the time into a hex value and then uses that value to update the background color. It's very hypnotic and once you get used to how it works you can actually tell where you are in the day just by glancing at the screen from across the room.
I had an Arduino Uno R3 and an Adafruit 1.8″ Color TFT Shield w/microSD and Joystick that I was trying to use for another project that kept stalling out. One night just for fun I decided to see if I could recreate the Colour Clock and it only took a couple hours. If you're familiar with Arduino you could easily swap parts out for a simple TFT breakout board and something tiny like a Beetle and make a very compact unit. You could even wear it as a badge.

Meter clock: keeping "current" time. Read more about the clock:
I've seen a few meter clocks in my travels of the web, and I love the idea. A few days ago, I decided that I must have one of my own. Such began the "How to do it" pondering cycle. I had seen builds where the face plate of the meter is replaced. This works, but I wanted to try and find a way to do it without modifying the meter, if possible. After some more ponderation, I came up with what I think is a serviceable idea.
I came across this style of milliamp meter on Amazon. They're not quite 0-60 mA, but the 0-100 mA (a 0-20mA meter for the hours) is close enough. And they were cheap. So yay.
Part of my requirements were that the clock run off of an Arduino Pro Mini I had lying around, and with minimal additional parts. In order to drive the meters with some degree of precision, I would use the PWM pins to vary the effective voltage across a resistor in series with the meter. This would, by the grace of Ohm's Law, induce a current that, based on the PWM duty cycle, would be scaled in such a way as to move the needle on the meter to the corresponding hour, minute, or second.
One minor issue came up in the form of the max current the GPIO pins on the ATMega328 chip can source/sink. The pins can source/sink a maximum of 40mA, a bit far from the 60mA needed for the minutes and seconds meters. Enter the transistor.
Using a simple NPN transistor switch circuit, I was able to provide the current for the minute and second meters from the 5V supply. The PWM signals switch the respective transistors on and off, effectively varying the voltage across the resistors in series with the meters.
The resistor between 5V and the meter is actually 2 1/4 watt 100 Ohm resistors in parallel for an effective resistance of 50 Ohms. The two in parallel was necessary as 5V x 0.06A = 0.3W (more than 0.25 that a single 1/4W resistor can handle safely).

Brett's new masterclock is Arduino-controlled and keeps very accurate time by periodically synchronizing with the DCF77 "Atomic" Clock in Mainflingen near Frankfurt, Germany. The DCF77 library for Arduino is used to decode the time signal broadcasted from the atomic clock. The time is displayed as hours, minutes, and seconds on six 1″ seven segment LEDs. A 4×20 I2C LCD display is also used in the project to display additional info such as display brightness, sync information, signal quality, auto tune'd frequency, auto tuned quartz accuracy, etc. Both the displays are auto-dimmed based on the surrounding light intensity using an LDR sensor and pulse width modulation technique. His clock also includes a bluetooth link for updating the Arduino firmware from a PC without an USB cable.

Elia wrote an article detailing his binary wrist watch project:
I have just finished my binary wrist watch project (well, the new revision anyway). I was surprised at how small I was able to make it compared to last time.
I chose to go with the "super-yellow" color LEDs as they fit the purple OSHpark PCB very nicely. The biggest challenge was actually making a good looking wrist band for the watch. I originally intended to use a design like this but it turned out that due to lack of enough para cord I had left, I went with a simpler design that I had done once before.

Superb physician! An excellent manner with children and detailed explanations for the adults. My son first saw Dr. Gold at 3 months old and had surgery at 7 months with excellent results. My son is now 18 and continues to see Dr. Gold. I highly recommend this physician....I wouldn't take my child anywhere else!
I have few problems with my vision, but the ones I have had have been very bad. The Doctor with his upbeat personality and excellent skills, after a single surgical procedure, restored my vision to near 20/20. He is top drawer.
Dr. Gold is great! We have been going to him for 6 years now. Both of my kids have had eye surgery by Dr Gold. The kids love that he is silly with them! I would highly recommend Dr. Gold!
The review by Anon below, I have news for you... most Dr's forms ask how you found them or "how" you we're referred to their practice, Dr Gold and the Eye Physicians practice are not the first. How did Dr. Gold belittle your husband? No mention on that...
Worth it? He was very rude and he belittled my husband when we had to take my premature daughter for check-up. The first thing that I saw on filling out papers was questionaire on his marketing, how I heard about him, etc. Radio, church, etc. I don't care
He may have a wait but the doctor makes it well worth it .. I would not take my children anywhere else.

The Cottage is just a little over 3 years old and perfect for the couple wanting to get away for a while. Described as an open, airy, tropical setting with a fantastic location and outstanding views. It even has use of a private, classic old bahamian dock 50 meters down the sand beach (obviously dock usage is at your own risk). The furnishings can include the bedroom with a king size bed or two twins.
Contact Nikki Ferguson, the on island manager for all your needs (golf cart and boat rentals, fishing outings, etc.). She will see you are met upon arrival and transported to the Beach Cottage, as well as making sure you get back to the airport on departure day.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Debbie & Dave Shieber May 25, 2013 at 1:09 am
Thank you Nikki! This was our first time on Staniel and it was a dream come true! We stayed at The Beach Cottage and it was paradise. Right on the water and beautifully clean and stocked. We didn't want for a thing. It was the perfect cottage for us! Nikki made the reservation process easy and she and Monique took care of us from the moment we arrived on the island. We will never forget our first trip to the island and we will definitely be back next year! Thank you 3Ns! See you next year!

Preheat oven to 200ºC. If you have time, tie the beef with individual pieces of string at 5cm intervals (you can also get your butcher to do this). Brush the beef roast lightly with oil and sear it on all sides over a moderately-high heat until evenly browned.
Season the beef with pepper and salt and rub the fresh herbs over it. Tuck a few bay leaves under the string.
Place the beef on a rack in a roasting dish. Add a little water to the roasting dish (about ½ cup). Roast for 60 minutes for rare, 75 minutes for medium and 90 minutes for well done. For ease and accuracy use a meat thermometer.
Remove the beef roast, cover loosely with foil and rest it for 20 minutes before carving. Serve with salad or roasted vegetables.
Judging your roast's degree of doneness using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the meat should be: Rare – 55-60ºC, Medium – 65-70ºC, Well done – 75ºC.
You can also use tongs to test the roast's doneness. Gently prod or squeeze the roast – rare is very soft, medium rare is soft, medium is springy but soft, medium well is firm and well done is very firm.
Most beef roasts don't need to be tied, but some cuts like rib eye/scotch fillet and eye fillet/tenderloin benefit from it. Tying it gives the beef roast a compact shape, which helps it cook evenly and slice easily. It also gives you the chance to tuck in some extra flavour.
» Metric Converter
Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache are the best wines to pair with Roasted beef rib eye seasoned with thyme, oregano and bay leaves.

My name is Natalie and I love Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, One Direction, 5SOS and a lot more. I am not 18 years old but I don't know how to remove my age on here xD Taylor is such an amazing person. I hope one day all the swifties will get to meet her :) She touches the hearts of so many girls out there and it doesn't matter what mood you're in there is always a Taylor song there for you. I think it's great that she writes her own songs because it makes it original and unique. There isn't one day in my life that I havn't listened to a Taylor song. Well maybe not when I was born haha, but you get the point. Because the owners of TC are so wonderful I got the chance to buy pit seta for the Red Tour on May7th 2013 and Taylor Alison Swift touched my hand, yes I did cry. Pit was an amazing experience and if you ever get the chance, don't pass it up! I also saw Tay on the Speak Now Tour on October 11 but I had nosebleed seats then. I didn't mind though, I still had the time of my life and the show was flawless. Some swifties have met Taylor some have not including me, some collect merchandise some don't, some have gone to 3 concerts while others have only gone to 1 or not any at all, but that's not what matters, what matters is being there for Taylor and voting for her for award shows and listening to her music, that is what really makes you a true fan. If you already didn't notice yes Justin Bieber means the world to me. I actually got the chance to meet him on November 2nd 2012 and it was one of the best days of my life. He does not deserve any of the hate that he gets and it hurts me to see people make fun of him. I'm a belieber and I will be forever and always. I also absolutely love Little Mix, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran, and tons more. I hope you enjoy looking at my profile and I won't bite so feel free to talk to me whenever!
I love you kidrauhl

!!! upskirt!!! (3:09 for those of you who are going to search for it) har har
bad voice acting :(
Vanquish: starring Hillary Clinton as the president.
Is it just me or is the voice acting a little... off...
The action looks pretty good and the story looks kind of cheesy (in a good, doesn't-take-itself-too-seriously" way). I could see the voice acting getting on my nerves though. I'll keep my eye on this one
Check this out after having seen 9001 freakin' ads for it, and gotta say looks pretty sweet. Reminds me that the Japanese can still make good games.
WOW WOW WOW!!! Looks friggin AWSOME!! Love the fast paced gaming...cant wait!!!
The demo is breathtaking! something new at last!
Would you rather perfer it be the French, Chinese, or Australians? Oh no, no multiplayer boohoo ya it would suck if it was just like Halo Reach all multiplayer and no story. Horrible voice acting in a trailer oh my. The people who played the demo loved the game while all the ones who just watched a trailer complain about it, I wonder whos opinion everyone should believe?
I played the demo and all I have to say is that I can't wait until this is released....
I played the demo on my ps3, I still cant stop playing it after 10 times
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM MR CANDY????? ah i luv platinumgames and their rediculousness
this one looks like nothing I've ever seen before
If this concentrates on Single Player, It better have some other playable characters or skins, But thats just me!
Whoa! This looks fun.
Zone of The Enders, m?
Played the demo - gives nice thrilling sense) and everything is blurry, crazy and explodes) want a review first, though, but looking forward to it. Seems like us, Russians, have sort of world-dominance obsession.)))
man, its going to be short. and there's no multiplayer. too bad.
- Game looks good, but I feel like I've seen this story way too many times, it's always the Russians -
NO MULTIPLAYER?!..is there even COOP at least?!
The game is very good. the controls are crazy!
If only the story looked any what appealing : / ...
OMG that voice acting is terrible!
demo is just awsome...gamepaly is just awsome...graphics just awsome.
Should have spent less money on rollerblade knees and more money on voice direction. Gameplay still looks fun though.
The gameplay of this game is GREAT, try the demo...
looks promising...
Oh my god...this must be the absolute worst dialogue in any game, ever. Hands down. The story could use some help too, I can tell....wow... The only thing that can possibly save this game is the gameplay, but even that...
If they do this like Borderlands that levels up and that have tons of customization... it could hit the spot..
Typical Japanese over the top cheesy action with horrible voice acting. Looks fun though and the demo is great. I'm looking forward to it.
Looks really fast paced. Except that you apparently have some kinda slow motion ability to use at your advantage. I'm hoping that the ability is not always readily available, otherwise it's gonna be a very cheap way to bypass all the difficult situations you encounter. Then again, that's just me, cause I'd prefer a challenging game.
Wow, seemed like there many final plot points, hope it was just half of it
Wow the trailer pretty much told you the WHOLE story of the game. I rather play cod then a crappy game like this. NICE TRY SEGA!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to getting this game.
Will there be multiplayer?
If the games as good as the demo its a must buy
oh look another shooter, what a surprise.
shinian sad: Some subtitles would be much appreciated. international players completely agree with that!!
Yep...getting this game.
First. Day. Purchase.
so where can i buy that suit
That chick is hot :)
thats pretty freaking gangsta
@ all - Replaced the original video with the English dub video. Enjoy!

DFW-The Black and White Cookie
- c
- chickstein Jun 16, 2008 02:55 PM
Please, I beg you...where can I find a black and white cookie in the Metroplex? I am dying here! I have to have one. Help me....please!
Cindy's NY Deli, the one on central has em. Supposedly NY style, softer thicker. Not the kind we had growing up here.
Rush Patisserie in Deep Ellum has them on the menu: http://www.rushpatisserie.com/menu.html
re: ShannonSutlief
I've heard people drive in from Tyler to pick up a dozen of Samantha's b&ws. A couple of my friends have confirmed that Rush Patiserrie's version is dead on to NY
re: ShannonSutlief
Rush's black and whites are more cake-like in consistency. They are good but might not be what you would expect.
Bagelstein's!!! Very good, moist, thicker....comparable to the ones in NY. Used to drive miles for them when they were up in Richardson. They just moved a few months back to the Preston/Royal area. Yea for me.
Ed's Deli at Preston and LBJ has them.
Never been a fan of the black and white cookie. Even the supposedly good ones are too dry and cakey.
re: ChristieP
I have never had one here that taste like the ones in NY...Hey, it's a good excuse to continue to go to NY!
re: jinet12
I plan to ship them home when I go in Ocotober.
Now that Bagelstein's is gone, i had to go someplace else for my Black and White cookie fix. So naturally I tried Ed's Deli since it was the closest place. Now, talk about the biggest disappointment of the year. After my second bite, i threw the whole thing out. It was that bad. It was stale and crumbly. It got all over my computer keyboard and I was really irritated. This was after having a very mediocre bowl of Matzo Ball soup - flavorless and severely lacking in key ingredients. Just don't bother with Ed's! And oh yea, their bagels are horrible too. It's like sponge bread. Yuck!
Luckily, several days later as i was picking up a cappuccino at Drip coffee, i noticed these delicious looking B&W cookies staring at me. One bite of these and I was in heaven! Since Drip used to get all their baked good from Doughmonkey (of course all the good places are gone!), they now get all their baked goods from Rush Patisserie (in Deep Ellum). These cookies are moist and yes cake-y, just the way they should be. Icing is not too sweet. Worth every calorie!

After DJ Pauly D, Usher and Joe Jonas were rumored to be possible candidates of Britney Spears' opening act, now Nicki Minaj is thrown into the contender list. According to TMZ, lawyers for the two female singers are in "serious talks" to seal the deal.
In another news, Britney said she would love to hook up with Kylie Minogue in a song. The Southern Belle heard about the Aussie singer's duet offer, and responded it in a recent radio interview, "I think that would be brilliant. I think that would be so much fun I'd do a pop record. She's great. I love her."
Britney indeed considered to record an all-female-star song. She's keen to make it happen with fellow stars like Rihanna, Lady GaGa and Adele. "I feel like we actually need to come together and do a song that can actually show how much power we do have - an idea like that would be astounding," she stated.
Back to Britney's opening act rumors, it's only Pauly D who has responded to the report. The "Jersey Shore" star told OK! Magazine, "Britney's a friend of mine. I would love to do the tour. Love, love, love to do the tour. So we'll see what happens."

Best Home Made Sore Throat Recipe??
- n
- nooodles Jan 22, 2005 12:30 PM
I'm in search of a sore throat soother that doesn't involve store-bought lozenges and syrups. I'll include the two that I've been using since I was a kid, but I wanted to see if other people had more potent recipes!
1 mug hot water
lemon juice to taste (1/2 a lemon, usually)
honey to taste (2 Tbs, roughly)
small pot of water
palm-sized piece of ginger, sliced
brown or rock sugar
Simmer the ginger in the water for an hour or more, then add sugar. This makes a potent drink, and personally I think it tastes better (more mellow) after it's sat around and re-heated the next day. It's QUITE spicy right after you make it, but has more depth of flavor and syrupiness the next day. If you make this too strong or have too much at once, it might make you salivate uncontrollably. Ginger is weird that way.
Thanks in advance for sharing!
Can you buy Traditional Medicinal teas where you live? They offer one called "Throat Coat" which involves licorice...link below...I've not ever tried it but knew of it when I worked in a Health Food store a few years ago...the manager would bring all of us a cup of the TM Ginger Aid tea at 4:00 each afternoon...I loved that! She grew up on Barbados. I only know of the lemon & honey that you already mentioned...hope you feel better soon!
re: Val/FL
I think throat coat is indispensable when I have a sore throat. It's made from Slippery Elm and really helps relieve the pain (without the upset stomach and numbness that lozenges can sometimes give you) I swear by that stuff.
re: Karl S.
Yes - I swear by lemsip. It's kind of like theraflu, but tastes a heck of a lot better and doesn't make me feel speedy. Here's a link to an online pharmacy that will deliver it.
This is sort of a summertime variation of what you posted. I found it very helpful last summer when I had a virus.
About 1/2 T coarsely grated ginger, steeped in 12 oz. boiling water. Strain. Stir in honey to taste and let cool. Chill, then add lime juice to taste.
A friend used to make jello into a drink, she would dilute a little so it never quite set. Apparently it is very soothing. I never tried it but it sounds good.I imagine you could substitute juice for water and get some needed vitamins that way.
Ginger makes you salivate uncontrollably? At the risk of being crude, it makes me urinate about 5 times for every 8 ounces of ginger tea or ginger beer...it makes it rather unpleasant.
I thought it was just me.
Variation on #2 for sore throat:
in Mug: add one sprig of fresh rosemary and slices of fresh ginger. Add hot water. Let steep for 5 minutes and drink slowly.
This is kinda weird, but my mom (who is a natural foods nut otherwise) always gave us hot tea made from Lipton's lemon ice tea mix...It really does work.
Works for a general cold as well
Boil in water
honey to taste
clove of garlic
couple of dried chilli peppers
couple of slices of ginger
lemon zest
after pouring into cup i like to put in a little lemon juice.
1 cup of strong tea(peppermint if your coughing, camomille(sp?) before bed), large Tbl. of honey, squeeze a good wedge of lemon, stir well, and sit back...
Straight from the Dominican girlfriend slash witch doctor (and tested just two days ago on my sore throat - only 10 hours later I was belting scottish drinking songs along with a CD, to the annoyance of the upstairs neighbor):
4-10 1/4 inch slices of ginger
1-2 1/4 chunks of apple (i.e. 1/4 or 1/2 an apple)
1 cinnamon stick (look for La Flor, it's much cheaper)
For cup:
1 - 2 teaspoons sugar
Juice of 1/2 lime (preferred) or lemon
Get it all up to a boil then reduce to simmer for 5 - 20 minutes (depending on desired strength). I like to simmer it until the cinnamon stick unfurls. If you leave it overnight steeping, you'll get a nice zing from the ginger.
Put 1 - 2 teaspoons of sugar in the bottom of a coffee cup and pour in the tea. Then add the lime or lemon (this is one difference from other recipes posted here, you don't cook the juice).
You don't have to chuck the rest of the apple you cut either. You can use it the next day. The cut side will be brown of course but won't affect the taste in the tea.

- Abstract
- Article
- References
- Cited By
Pay for performance (P4P) aims to use reimbursement to incentivize providers to deliver high-quality services. This article examines P4P in five Medicaid nursing home programs: Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Utah, and Vermont. It describes each program and draws lessons regarding program participation, financing, measurement, administration, and development. Findings highlight the importance of obtaining stakeholder input, both initially and on an ongoing basis. Findings also highlight the need to provide opportunities for acceptance and learning by phasing in programs slowly, beginning with performance measurement, followed by public reporting and, finally, by introducing P4P incentives. Funding P4P using new appropriations, incorporating multiple quality measures and domains, and relying on existing data sources when possible were deemed important; so, too, was allowing programs to evolve over time to account for innovations in quality measurement.
