|Its in the 100s' in July and August here in S. Texas. zone 9A. I think I should already have some fall vegetables in the ground, but I can hardly get anything at all to germinate, its so hot. (I guess its the heat) I brought a tray of newly planted lettuce into our dining room, and it germinated.....but of course since there is very little light, they immediately became leggy and died. I am sure that older generations somehow were growing fall crops, and without having to supply an air conditioned room and expensive fluorescent grow-bulbs. What is the solution?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Excessive heat is about the least of my gardening issues here in this cool summer Z8, but you may find this chart helpful, indicates approximate guidelines for your Fall crops. It appears you are early for the Fall lettuce, and for several other things too

Aww HLMM...what a super comment to boost my smiles this morning! WOW...imagine that, all those circles in glass! I'm crazy about colored glass, and now you've got my imagination stirred! I so appreciate your wonderful insight! Thank you kindly! xo
Thank you Sharon!! It was a super-fun commissioned piece! I'm loving larger canvas...I used to be afraid of it! LOL So happy you like it!
Yes, Angelo! One, inspired the other...and my jewel-trees came into existence to live magically ever-after! So happy you like it! xo
Hi MoArt!! Yes...when I joined S6 a few months ago, I didn't quite understand how to upload with larger files for maximum options for prints, etc. LOL So, I recently re-posted a few of my pieces. Thank you for visiting and promoting 'again'. I always appreciate your kind compliments and promotes! xo
I really like this - it has that kind of brightness and freshness that really feels like early morning in summer.
Such a kind thoughtful comment, Patricia! It's very close to my inspiration for this one! Thank you bunches! xo
Anai, you're so sweet! I appreciate your visit and feel on top-of-the-world, that you would promote and LIKE my art! I DO think so highly of yours ;) xo
Oscar! ---that you find a unique magic and love my 'jeweled' trees, is such a special compliment to me! Sometimes I think I might try to refrain from the 'circles' and then, they show up big-time all over my canvas. It's always so lovely that you appreciate my fun with colors. Thank you! xo
Another enchanted paint.. so many fruits on these beautiful trees!! The sparkle at the Grass quite amazing!!
Hi ya Sylvia! OMG it's just everywhere! The iPhone case was something I just refashioned two days ago and reposted, so THAT is VERY new, that they have the iPhone case. What to do, what to do. Remember a little while ago when Warner Bros. threatened to sue S6 over the Batman art and use of their trademark 'name'? They are boo-coo RICH and have muscle enough to have had IT ALL taken down here. The licensing issues and property rights are askew. What to do?
I like that you posted the link Sylvia!! Good idea. Good message. The ONLY place I post my art for sale is here...so, this is the ONLY place that my art is copied from. My FB page is public, I guess. But, the traffic there is not huge.
I know, so sad! But I like posting the links when I find them. Helps people keep tabs of what's going on:(

Der Knabe träumt, man schickte ihn fort
Mit dreißig Thalern zum Haideort,
Er ward drum erschlagen am Wege
Und war doch nicht langsam und träge.
Noch liegt er im Angstschweiß, da rüttelt ihn
Ach Meister, ach Meister, sie schlagen mich tot,
Ach Meister, mein Meister, so sprachst du schon,
Ach Meister, mein Meister, ich geh, ich geh,
Hinaus aus der Stadt! Und da dehnt sie sich,
Und alles so still, und alles so stumm,
Er kommt ans einsame Hirtenhaus,
Ach Hirte, du bist ja von frommer Art,
Ich will sie ihm geben, er trinke dafür
Der Hirt, der winkte dem langen Knecht,
Ach Meister Hirte, ach nein, ach nein,
Da sind die vier Groschen! Er wirft sie hin
Du hältst es nicht aus, du gehst zu geschwind,
Komm, setz dich unter den Weidenbaum
Er faßt den Knaben wohl bei der Hand,
Nun sprich, du träumtestEs kam ein Mann
Er zog ein Messer!War das, wie dies?
Und fragt ihr, wies weiter gekommen sei?
Der Rabe erzählt, was der Böse noch tat,
Christian Friedrich Hebbel (1813-1863)
The boy dreamt he was being sent
To the moorland village with thirty crowns,
For which on the way he was being slain,
Though he was neither idle nor slow.
Still sweating with fear, he was shaken
Ah master, ah master, theyll beat me to death,
Ah master, my master, thats how you spoke in my dream,
Ah master, my master, Im going, Im going,
He leaves the town! In front of him the moor
And all is so silent, and all is so still,
He reaches the lonely shepherds hut,
Ah shepherd, I know youre a pious soul,
Ill give him the money that he might buy
The shepherd beckoned his lanky servant,
Ah, master shepherd, ah no, ah no,
Heretake the four farthings! He throws them down
Youll never make it, youre going too fast,
Come, sit yourself beneath the willow,
He takes hold of the boy by his hand,
You had a dream, you say.Yes, there came a man
He drew a knife!Was it like this one?
And if you ask what happened next,
The raven will tell what the ruffian did,
English: Richard Stokes © 2007
A poor young apprentice dreams that he was given thirty Thaler to take safely across the heath, but that he was killed along the way. As he lies in a sweat-soaked state of terror his master shakes him awake. The opening piano figuration is a distant relation of the opening of Zwielicht, its contrapuntal imitations and chromatic descent illustrate everything from danger and menace to the whistling of the wind in a bare landscape. The motif is also designed to mirror the boys fear, his pre-pubescent pleading placed in the treble clef. To his horror, the task that he is now commanded to do by his master (whose phlegmatic brutality and lack of compassion occasion no more than a few rough chords) is to deliver thirty Thaler to a place that lies on the other side of the lonely heath. The boy sees that the morning sun is as red as blood. It is useless to beg for mercy, he must go as bidden. He begs his master to tell his mother that if she looks for him, he will be found under the willow tree.
On his way across the heath the boy stops at a shepherds lonely hut. He is so frightened that he wants someone to accompany him for the rest of the journey; he has saved a few pence, and begs the old shepherd to allow his servant to accompany him in return for this payment. During this conversation the piano music offers a brief respite from the otherwise ubiquitous music of chromatic danger. Yes of course the shepherds boy will go with him, but when a tall young man emerges grinning from the hut the boy recognizes his murderer from his nightmare and flees in terror. For this scene Schumann provides only a few background chords.
Just as the boy is in sight of the willow tree on the heath, the shepherds sinister servant catches up with him and taps him on the back. He begins a terrifying conversation with the boya mixture of mock-concern (youre only a child) and menace. The motive here is not merely the stealing of thirty Thalers. This is a scenario that haunts all parents, but the shock here is that it seems too modern a nightmare to be depicted in a work by Schumann. Tell me your dream, says the monster, and then, as if the boy is the fulfilment of terrible longings of his own, God damn me, I never dreamt I would meet up with you. When he takes the child by the hand, the victim offers no further resistance; nature looks on in baleful lament. Was I the man you saw in your dream is this the knife you saw? The tension engendered here is entirely the poets, but Schumann does his best to accompany it with music derived from the first motif, as well as octaves between the hands and throbbing chords in the right hand as the murder seems to be imminent.
At this point Hebbel breaks off the narrative, and Schumann also retreats into the background. Only two birds in the willow tree are witness to what happened next: the demise of the boy is neither quick nor merciful. The raven cheerfully stays to see the worst, he tells of the stench of the executioners sweat; the dove recalls that the boy wept and that he begged for mercy.

Der Hagel klirrt nieder,
Es leuchten die Wogen,
Die Blitze sprühen,
Der Schaum kommt geflogen
Fort, fort, fort!
Der Donner laut kracht,
Die Erd, gleich dem Meere
Er: Der Steuermann erbleicht,
Sie: Greif kühn zum Ruder,
Die Leuchtfeuer glühn
Er: Und siehst Du und hörst Du?
Ein Schiffsmantel deckt
In dem Schlosshof, neben
Ein todtkündend Gespenst
Auf die Letzte und die Schönste
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
The hail is rattling,
The waves are flashing,
The lightnings are glancing,
The foam is flying
The loud thunder is tolling,
The earth is like the ocean,
He: The helmsman is pale,
She: Ply the oar,
The beacons gleam
He: And can you see, can you hear?
A boat-cloak covered
In the court of the fortress
On the topmost watch-turret,
And with oaths as wild
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
Like Hebbel, Shelley tells a story in a highly epigrammatic form, the action telescoped into as few words as possible. Years ago Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau asked me to obtain for him the English verse of this work, saying he would prefer to recite the original Shelley than this impossible translation. But some of the problem stems from Schumann himself; the composer (by this stage of his life hardly at his most cogent) made unaccountable cuts to the text; these make the work more difficult to understand in this form. I suppose the piano music here could be adjusted to enable the narrator to impose the whole of the Shelley poem back on the German original.
This is the very last of Schumanns works that seems to have been influenced by the (by now) hoary story of his struggle to marry Clara Wieck. A response to injustice that had begun with the phrases of countless immortal Lieder here expires in melody-free recitation. During their struggle to get married, the young Robert and Clara had been cast in their own minds as fugitives (they had often thought of elopement) and Freidrich Wieck as the old tyrant. Some reawakened memory of this struggle seems to have encouraged Schumann to choose this poem among the many to which he might have given his attention in the Shelley volume. In this scenario the bride has run off with another man whom she truly loves: this leaves the abandoned bridegroom shamefaced in the court of the fortress, while the father rants in the topmost watch-turret like Tolkiens Sauron.
The depiction of the rushing waves of the storm is as much of a musical cliché as the highly mannered theatricality of Shelleys verse, in this context melodramatic in every sense. The most lyrical, and surprisingly peaceful, accompaniment is given to mention of the lovers whose blood beats one measure. The brooding left-hand motif of the father (briefly heard and never developed) seems rather Lisztian; indeed if one were made to play a guessing game about the authorship of this music, Liszts is a name that would come to mindand he was another composer who would take his cue from Schumann and write recitations for speaking voice and piano from 1860: Bürgers Lenore, Lenaus Der traurige Mönch and Tolstoy.

Anyone know the law for a concealed knife. Tactical folder or beltknife? Columbus in paticular.
This is a discussion on Question for Ohio people within the Defensive Knives & Other Weapons forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Anyone know the law for a concealed knife. Tactical folder or beltknife? Columbus in paticular....
Anyone know the law for a concealed knife. Tactical folder or beltknife? Columbus in paticular.
Ohio makes no mention of knives other than switchblades, autoknives etc. In the CCW law (2923.12) it does mention deadly weapons, here is what it says;
"Deadly weapon" means any instrument, device, or thing capable of inflicting death, and designed or specially adapted for use as a weapon, or possessed, carried, or used as a weapon.
What this means is, the knife needs to be a "tool" and not a weapon.
*** legal advice you get on the internet is worth what you pay for it, consult a lawyer if you do not understand the ORC as it is written.***
"Just blame Sixto"
SIXTO is right, there is only a mention of "Deadly weapons" being illegal.
However if you look at the case law, we can learn what to expect in ohio. Balisongs for instance, are illegal for concealed carry because there is a strong precedent for balisongs being defined as a deadly weapon.
Most fixed knives are considered deadly weapons, there are some cases where this was not true. But the precedent is strong enough I wouldn't carry one concealed.
Folders...no explicit restrictions. If you're going to carry concealed make it a small blade with a non aggressive name, and intended purpose. For instance, the "reality based blade" would be the exact opposite knife that you want to carry concealed. The less aggressive it seems, the better chances you have. And if you get pulled over, that's a knife for fishing or for widdling or for open boxes. If it's for self defense, it's your ass.
Folding knives, fixed knives, double bladed knives, and balisongs should be completely legal for open carry.
Very Grey in Ohio.
I carry my Spyderco Delica about everywhere, and aside from crazy drunks at the bar never really had anyone say anything about it. A folder about 3 inches in length should be fine for you, although I am not a lawyer, that is just my experience.

Thanks for the replies. I was just wondering because a lot of people seem to carry. Right now I carry a Schrade Tactical. About a 3.5" blade. It has a dagger style blade. I think I'm getting the Ka Bar mule that was discussed here a while back. It could pass as more of a "tool" type knife.
Key point is to remember to always say its a tool if you are ever asked about it. Everybody has to open boxes from time to time...
"Just blame Sixto"
It's important to remember here that perception has to do with everything in this kind of law. I would strongly recommend not carrying that blade.
Keep in mind with the mule, that when it is sold it is described as a fighter/utility. A lawyer could EASILY make the case that it's a knife designed as a weapon just because of that. And in ohio it would look like they'd win.
Perception, seems to be the key here. Unfortunately I live in a very liberal city. Fortunatley, most of the LEO's are not.

They need to update those codes Anubis, a lot of their weapon's stuff is no longer valid due to pre-emption, thanks for the link though.
Just an afterthought I had for the OP. My folding knife is a tool, I use it at work to cut boxes and such. As such it is readily at hand, clipped onto my pocket in what could be considered plain view (i.e not concealed completely). Now, with a lot of pocket knives you would probably be ok with them in your pocket, or clipped, or in a belt case. (Keep in mind IANAL, and this is just a random thought).
A concealed fixed blade, on the belt or in a boot or somewhere, is going to be a much tougher sell as far as it being a tool, because it isn't really readily accessable, like a tool would be. Just a thought.

I think you could get away wiyh most folders. I believe that the type of person using the knife. The situation that caused deployment, would be looked at as prudent. Then again I could be very naive.
That is my belief. I take my Spyderco clipped onto my waistband when I run, will I be cutting boxes, no. However, if I get mugged on the trail/streets and defend myself I don't think it will cause too much of a problem.
My one encounter with LE while carrying I had a knife too, funny thing was that it never even came up and he probably saw it clipped to my pocket. Of course I informed him I was carrying.
Especially with a CHL holder informing, I think that they aren't gonna be to concerned about a folder in the pocket. Although I have been wrong before.

I carry my old work knife. Gerber Air Ranger, 2.5" blade I think (maybe 3").
That black paint is pretty eaten up, clips has it's wear on it, there's no denying that it's a tool by looking at it.
I REALLY do need to sharpen it though, I put one heck of a shallow angle on it to keep the dge at work, and need to narrow it now that I'm not working there any more.
But, it's still a tool. Just like my guns.

Associated Press
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- While Saudi Arabia's royals work out the succession of the throne behind closed doors, a few voices are raising the most sensitive matter of all in the kingdom, questioning the ruling Al Saud family's claim to absolute power and its unchecked rights to the country's oil wealth.
At least 10 Saudis in the past weeks have posted video statements on YouTube sharply criticizing the royal family and demanding change. At least three of those who appeared in videos have since been arrested, along with seven others connected to the videos, security officials told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.
It is impossible to know how widespread the sentiments expressed in the videos are among the Saudi public. But the flurry of postings by Saudis is almost unheard-of and startling, given that public criticism of the king is strictly prohibited. It underlines the challenge that Saudi Arabia's rulers have themselves recognized -- that they must address the growing needs of the country's youth, along with demands for transparency, reform and greater public participation in government.
At the same time, the royal family is facing an equally critical question: How to pass the throne to the next generation of Al Saud.
Since Abdulaziz Al Saud founded the kingdom in the 1930s, the throne has been passed down among his sons, of whom he had several dozen by multiple wives. The succession from brother to brother has been relatively smooth for decades. But the time is approaching when the family must decide which brother's son will get the throne next, potentially putting the monarchy into one particular branch at the expense of the others.
King Abdullah, on the throne for nearly a decade, is almost 90 and recently appeared in public with an oxygen tube. His half-brother Prince Salman, in his late 70s, is the crown prince, the designated successor. Abdullah has already outlived two other half-brothers who held the crown prince post.
Two weeks ago, the kingdom took the unusual step of officially declaring the next in line after Salman, naming Prince Muqrin, who at 68 is the youngest of Abdulaziz's sons.
Muqrin, a close aide of Abdullah, was chosen as a transitional figure toward the eventual handing of the torch to the next generation, said Joseph Kechichian, author of several books on the kingdom, including "Succession in Saudi Arabia."
That handover is potentially divisive given the stakes. Analysts say there are more than a dozen princes among Abdulaziz's grandsons from the various branches who could qualify for the throne after Muqrin.
The next monarch will inherit a country where half of the population of 20 million people is under the age of 25, in need of jobs, housing and education. The world's largest oil exporter, Saudi Arabia is fabulously wealthy, but there are deep disparities in wealth and unemployment is growing among the young. The population is expected to mushroom to 45 million people by 2050.
Royals are showing that they are aware of the challenge. This week, Muqrin attended a conference unveiling a state-backed report on the minimum income families need to earn to cover their basic needs. At the conference, he criticized the country's banks for making giant earnings while doing little to help society.
"They're like a saw, they cut on the way in and cut on the way out," he said. "Their contribution is small in comparison to how much they benefit from the citizens and state."
Last month, the governor of Mecca, Prince Mishaal, one of King Abdullah's sons, said in an economic forum that there must be greater youth participation in planning and development.
The string of videos emerged on YouTube just after Muqrin's appointment was announced.
In each, a person talks to a camera, some speaking before a blank background, others in non-descript rooms. In most, the speaker holds up his or her national identity card with the speaker's name and other information, a bold act of defiance to show they are not seeking anonymity. Two of the videos are by women, all wearing all-enveloping black robes and veils over their faces. Most of the speakers are in their 20s or 30s, though some are as old as their 50s. They are from different provinces of Saudi Arabia.
The first video to appear, by a young man who identified himself as Abdulaziz al-Doussari, appears to have inspired the others. In his 30-second video, he says he makes the equivalent of $500 a month -- though he doesn't specify his job -- and says he's fed up with being unable to afford a car, a home or marriage.

Happy returns boost offence
Kane and Slater make impact with high energy
Neither contributed to the offence, but the Winnipeg Jets got a pretty healthy injection of experience and ability into their lineup Thursday night.
Both left-winger Evander Kane and centre Jim Slater did their part in a 3-2 shootout win over the Phoenix Coyotes at the MTS Centre.
It included Kane's return to the top two lines, skating with centre Mark Scheifele and right-winger Blake Wheeler.
"He just creates so much with his speed and his intensity," Wheeler said, asked about having Kane back on the line first the first time since Jan. 26. "He plays every shift hard. He's been out quite a bit but he wanted to shake off the rust tonight and I think he played really well.
"I think it's exciting going forward to have that kind of guy on a line. He's going to create a lot of chances for us and he's going to score some big goals for us."
Kane, who's been out a month because of an infection in his hand, originally caused by a fight, dropped his gloves midway through the game after exchanging slashes with Phoenix's Keith Yandle.
"I did (think about fighting)," Kane said, smiling. "That's why I dropped my gloves. More so instinct. It's not going to stop me from fighting or defending myself. I definitely had a Frank Ricard moment there from Old School, blacked out there for a second.
"Then came back to life and realized I had a bad hand. I don't think he wanted to fight me either so I probably got the right guy."
Jets coach Paul Maurice said he wasn't too nervous about Kane's reaction in the game.
"I don't really like to take that away from anybody," Maurice said. "Remember the Jarome Iginla fight years ago against Nashville? It turned into a three-week dialogue on whether a guy like that should fight. It was great in that game. That was a while ago. You don't want to take that energy away from anybody but you always want to make sure guys are fighting in their pay grade."
All that said, Kane said he felt pretty good in the 20 minutes 30 seconds he played.
"I was definitely a little tired out there, first game in little over a month," he said. "But I felt good, had some scoring chances.
"We were able to win the game, I think that's the most important part."
He had the game on his stick with six seconds left in regulation time, with a pass from Scheifele right in front of Phoenix goalie Mike Smith.
He redirected it just wide.
"Those kind of things, you want to put those away but sometimes you don't get that bounce," he said. "I'm happy that Seto (Devin Setoguichi) and Olli (Jokinen) came to life in the shootout there."

The front-yard dog went into the street to see the other dog, and the man kicked it. The homeowner rushed out to confront the man and then called police. The man told an officer that he was protecting his dog and that the other dog frequently leaves its front yard and harasses him. The officer told the man to avoid the other dog owner, and he told the homeowner to keep her dog on a leash.

Review this album
Nov 12, 2012F.A.M.E. will only satisfy the twelve and unders who shouldn't even be listening to it in the first place. Anyone with depth of thought should steer clear of this mess.
Jul 15, 2012Another atempt to be ''cool'' and ''hip'' and ''popular'' and thats all this album gets him. It says nothing about his maturity as a man or an artist, the videos are like-wise very bland and the same ol same ol we've seen over and over and over and over. Take a guess about what his lyrics are about......................SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX!! If you havent bought this album then God bless your ears!… Collapse
Jul 13, 2012This album is classic. Probably Chris's best album. I expected so much less because of Graffiti. But this CD blew me away. It was one of my favorite albums of 2011. & i still listen to it to this day. Pick This up if ur TEAM BREEZY as they say
Jul 13, 2012The album all around has to be a personal best for me. It's amazing as a comeback for Chris Brown back into the music mainstream world. Complete with stunning tracks and great collaborations, This album has shown it's great ability in the chart & winning awards at many music awards.
Jun 29, 2012How did this win Best R&B Album at the Grammys? it isn't even a real R&B album, its a pop/dance with R&B and Hip-Hop influences. anyway the album as a whole is just trash. Don't get me wrong some of the songs like "Look at Me Now" and "Beautiful People" are good but not good enough to give this album a good rating on metacritic.
Mar 31, 2012F.A.M.E. is a fun R&B album which Breezy's fans won't be disappointed and also has really cool catchy songs that you can dance and jam too in the club.
Nov 17, 2011Chris Brown's "F.A.M.E." is a fun, hip, enjoyable CD for all Breezy fans! The deluxe album is the best one which includes 4 other tracks. With F.A.M.E., Breezy works his ass off trying to allow new fans with his music, to be honest, Hes a wonderful R&B singer. Every track on here is amazing! She Ain't You is by far my favorite track on here to this day! So, this album, you gotta get a copy! If you bootleg it, hey **** happens and don't get caught. So, yes, I recommend it!

Sep 2, 2011My least favorite Chris Brown album. This album is not an R&B album instead its a commercialized pop album just released to make Chris Brown relevant and to gain fans back. It did go number 1 but if it wasn't for "Look at me Now" i doubt that would have happened. The best songs were the ones released except yeahx3. The album sounds the same and was poorly put together. Hopefully Fortune will be better.… Expand
Apr 6, 2011This is not real R&B! I not happy that this album went number one, but it's a improvement based on the his last album, Graffiti. But this album is still overwhelming.
Apr 6, 2011Best R&B/Hip-Hop album of the year packed with hits and potential hits. Best tracks: "Oh My Love", "She Ain't You", & "Beautiful People". Chris' best album yet.
Apr 4, 2011F.A.M.E exceeds all expectations. you can go through track 1 all the way to 17 w/o skipping. Hits like "Deuces" "Yeah 3x" "No Bull" "Next 2 You" "She Aint You" "Look At Me Now" "Beautiful People" the list goes on and on. Every song on here can be a single. well done mr. brown #TeamBreezy
Mar 29, 2011Before you read this, you should know that this is from a person who believed that Graffiti was one of his best work. This album may not be, but it looks rushed. You have five songs that most people have already heard on the album and eight songs that don't live up to the hype I was expecting. Deuces needed no reintroduction being the smash it was from the mix tapes, and No BS didn't need to be replayed for the THIRD time. This seems like another attempt to mix two different sounds together with no sense of a medium or a flow.
But as a positive, the album sounds well as a whole, minus a few unneeded tracks. As a return from his media blackout, he seems to be coming back to terms with his livelihood. There is no same sound, but that could be a good sign as well. It show diversity that most would've thought left Brown a long time ago. The two biggest highlights in the album have to be "Look At Me Now" (with pulse-pounding kicks, an addictive hook, and one of the best verses from hip-hop veteran Busta Rhymes, this is easily a fan-favorite) and "Next 2 You", featuring the new teen heartthrob, Justin Bieber, who does not overshadow, but does not underwhelm, and seems like a well-thought out choice for this tribal-inspired pop smash.
If you are a fan of Breezy before the incident, this is right up your alley. If you're like me and actually wanted a more singular sounding Chris Brown, best stick to the mix tapes.… Expand
Mar 28, 2011There is one really good song, "All Back." Too bad he really can't. When you punch women and throw chairs and other awful things that kinda goes down in crazy history forever. "Bomb" is pretty good too. That's about it. A forgettable album.
Mar 26, 2011In My Opinion, F.A.M.E. was a very well - made album. Not only was there a very good quality of songs in the standard edition, but the deluxe edition just kept the suspense and good feeling coming. The songs compiled in the track-listing was very great, ones such as "Beg For It", "Bomb" feat. Wiz Khalifa, "She Ain't You", "Oh My Love" and more had a great impact on Chris Brown's redemption. Well Done… Expand
Mar 24, 2011FAME is everything I wanted from a comeback album. Although not the best it still helps for the way to make the thingy to work. FAME allows for the best in R&B to shine in a way that is completely innocuous to Chris Brown's career.
Mar 24, 2011I'm giving this album a 9 because of #5. He should not use Michael Jackson's material. He sounds better on the rest of the CD using his own content. The production here is better than Graffitti and the singing is more inspired. He clearly has an agenda to entertain people with this album and I believe he has accomplished it. I have read other reviews (including users) on this site and I must say some of the things I have read are inaccurate. First, under user ratings as of the time of this review, there are 2 ratings of 3 and 0 that use the exact same wording. Makes one wonder if they even listened to the CD. They offer no specifics about particular songs and, furthermore, the fact that Mr. Brown has 4 top hits off of this album (and that was before the release) makes their statements simply not true.
Second, some of these so-called professional reviews compared Chris Brown's current effort to Jodeci. Now if you are like me, you are probably wondering how they drew that conclusion. Well, I am here to tell you that the comparison has to do with one member of Jodeci (whose name eludes me) had an alleged abusive relationship with Mary J. Blige in the 90's. I say that because if you listen to Jodeci, nothing about FAME sounds anything like it.
Third, and this is my final say on this album, this album is exactly what Chris Brown needed to put out. I agree with the so-called pro's that said that this album at least gives the fans hope of a stronger future Chris Brown (so in that respect I guess I partially agree with Car123 about Fortune). I'm not going to take the time to go through the album song by song but I will say that I think song #8 (Next to You w/ Justin Beiber) is professionally underated. And Oh my love is a much better song than She ain't you (I wonder why the pro's made such a big fuss about such trash when the rest of the album was clearly superior). In close, I tell anyone who took the time to read all of this to buy this album. ESPECIALLY if you bough Graffitti. You will not be disappointed and Chris Brown is back from the dead. If I offended anyone with this I do apologize but I believe I have been truthful about this album and someone needed to take the time to write it. Thanks.… Expand
Mar 23, 2011Very underwhelming. I expected much better. Most song on this album sounds the same. Hopefully Fortune will be better. Besides the hit Deuces, F.A.M.E leaves much to be desired and i think Chris Brown needs to go along the same route as his debut album if he wants to make a hit again
Mar 23, 2011I really feel like this is the best album Chris Brown has put out since his first one from start to end just a prefect 10 all the way. With songs like "She Ain't You" ,"Deuces" , "Up 2 You", "No Bullshit","Look at Me Now" and "Yeah 3x" you really can not go wrong with a great album.
Mar 22, 2011Besides the hit Deuces, F.A.M.E leaves much to be desired and i think Chris Brown needs to go along the same route as his debut album if he wants to make a hit again
Mar 22, 2011I think Graffiti was an amazing album that would have been a giant sucess if it was released later. Most of the reviews about it were really biased... Well and as much as i was not sure if Chris Brown will top his previous work, He did just that with F.A.M.E. . Just like Graffiti, Chris jumps from one genre of music to another. This album is much more positive than Graffiti and have more up tempo tracks. Deuces was a perfect choice for the first track as this is the ultimate comeback track for Chris, what is there to say about it? The lyrics are great, vocals are great and you've probably heard it by now. Second track is called "Up 2 You" and is one of my favourite tracks on album, it's a slow heartfelt pure R&B ballad. Great production and impressing vocals. Next are No BS which most of you probably heard by now too, (it's really nice slow jam) & Look at Me Now - The only track where Chris arguably gets outshined by other artist. It's a great hip-hop banger and Chris' verse is really nice although the speed at which Busta Rhymes spit is just unbelievable. The 5th track which i also consider one of the best on F.A.M.E. is "She Ain't You" . It samples Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" and SWV. Really catchy chorus and again great lyrics. 6th track is a production by Harmony. Chris again attempts to rap on it although those raps are much more melodic. The chorus got that 80s, 90s feel to it and features Seven's vocals which are real good. Overally i like the song but i wasn't impressed by lyrics. My least favourite from the 13 track offering probably.
7th track is YEAH 3X, it was all over music programmes and radio so i doubt anyone didn't have a chance to hear it. I'm not really a fan of euro-pop sound but this song is actually really good and when you hear it you just can't help but dance. It's also very positive!
Next 2 You, i wasn't sure how it's gonna turn out. Never been a fan nor a hater of Justin Bieber so i was quite curious what it will sound like. Well...it's a mid-tempo love song with great lyrics and great vocals from both Chris and Justin. One of the better tracks on album.
Then after Next 2 You, comes a great great and deep "All Back" on which Chris sings about his lost love and that he wants eveyrything he lost (porbably after incident in 2009) back. This song is a real gem on here and it shows how amazing voice Chris Brown has.
Wet the Bed comes next, i think the "plum" sound in the background is really nice touch. Ludacris delivers a great verse and the chorus is catchy. Vocals are again top notch. This is very simillar song to No BS although it's much more raunchy.
Oh My Love is the 2nd production by Harmony, the beat is really really simillar to Say It With Me although this song is much much better. The verses are a very fast (think Busta & Twista) raps while chorus again has that 80s/90s feel. Kind of reminding me of Michael Jackson's Off the Wall album or even a couple of songs from Thriller.
Should've Kissed You - It's co-produced by Chris Brown, it's well a little less memorable R&B ballad. The vocals are again really good but what really makes this one special for me is the fact alot of people can relate to the song including me. Definately nice one, not as impressing as Up 2 You or All Back but still really enjoyable.
The last song is prod by Benny Benassi - Beautiful People. It's Trance if i'm not mistaken...i'm not really into this type of music and was really suprised when i first heard this song cause it's something different than usual stuff Chris Brown made in past. To be honest I did enjoy it though. The beat was well done and the message behind the song was great. "The beauty is inside you."
There is pretty much nothing about F.A.M.E. that disapoints, some songs are better some songs are worse but all did satisfy me. I'd recommend this one mostly for people that like R&B cause there are alot of R&B songs like on all previous Chris Brown albums. Although i'm sure everyone can find something for themselves! The Deluxe edition includes 4 additional songs. Beg for it & Love me are good but nothing amazing to be honest. Bomb is a great hip-hop song with a lil Reggae vibe to it and Paper,Scissors,Rock is the best out of these. I'd recommend to get the deluxe version as it's worth it.… Expand
Aug 4, 2011This album is about keeping Brown relevant and making the musical man child marketable again, and on that level it's a moderate success. He's still got a long way to go before he regains his previous stature.
Apr 21, 2011If you already didn't like Brown – he would classify you as a "hater" – this album's combination of lewd (Wet The Bed, No Bullshit) and saccharine (Next 2 You, Should've Kissed You) content, delivered in that gross, oozing cadence of his, will only aggravate you further.
Apr 18, 2011F.A.M.E. will satisfy 12 year Malibu and Miami beach frequenters, but anyone with a soul should steer far clear of this mess.

Arizona Cardinals
'Gut feeling' preserves Carson Palmer's big day, Arizona Cardinals' win
TEMPE, Ariz. -- It doesn't look like much in the box score, but it may have been the most important play in the Arizona Cardinals' 27-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday.
Timeout #1 by ARZ at 04:46
The Cardinals, up 24-14 and facing a 2nd and 10 from their own 10, ran a play that resulted in Carson Palmer throwing an interception. It was a bad throw on a bad read, and it gave the home team new life.
Except it didn't count, as Cardinals coach Bruce Arians had asked for a timeout before the play because, as he said Monday, he did not like what he had called for.
"When I called the play, I second-guessed myself," Arians said Monday. "I don't normally do that."
It's a good thing he did, given that Jaguars linebacker Russell Allen had stepped in front of Larry Fitzgerald to intercept the pass deep in Cardinals territory.
The Cardinals ended up punting three plays later, but the Jaguars having the ball at their own 42 is a much better spot than Arizona's red zone.
Arians said he was "tired of being stuck down there" and was looking to get the ball away from his own end zone. Though they were not winning the game, the Jaguars were winning the field position battle, and the Cards' coach wanted to flip the things around.
However, the coach said that was not the right time to run such a play, given the situation and the personnel he had on the field.
"It wasn't the right guys for that play, it wasn't the right time -- second and long -- for that play," he said. "It was more of a first down call.
"And seeing a little bit, it looked like they were going to be in a two-deep zone, and that's not what we wanted."
The coach's decision helped preserve Palmer's sterling performance, as the QB completed 30-of-42 passes for 419 yards and two touchdowns. He did not throw an interception (that counted) for the first time as a Cardinal.
And while it may have looked like Arians and the Cardinals caught a break, the coach made sure to point out the team wasn't nearly as close to disaster as it may have seemed.
"Referee did a good job," Arians said. "He couldn't find his whistle but he did run in and stop the play, because I had called timeout a little bit quicker than what it looked like.
"And they let the play continue -- and it was one of those gut feelings it was going to be the wrong thing happen at that time, and fortunate for me we got it stopped."

PRO FOOTBALL: Amerson making progress
By Zac Boyer
The Washington Times
DeAngelo Hall knew the two-hour drive from Ashburn to Richmond could be, at its best, a lonely, miserable, soul-sucking affair, so when the Washington Redskins were scheduled to head south for the start of training camp late last month, he prodded David Amerson to join him for the ride.
Amerson was all ears. The second-year cornerback had been eager to avoid the drive himself, and the seemingly innocuous offer from Hall — a close teammate, a veteran — was enticing. After all, what better way is there to get out of making such a drive than to accept an offer from someone else?
Hall, as it turned out, had a motive. For the better part of 120 miles, he counseled and challenged Amerson — a strategy he designed to understand what makes his younger teammate tick.
They spoke about football, but not in terms of Xs and Os. They discussed their personalities, their passions and their performances. They touched on their reputations and their personal branding. And, before pulling up to the Omni Hotel in downtown Richmond, Hall left Amerson with one lasting charge.
Can you be great?
"It's definitely motivation," Amerson said. "It made me want to go work hard."
Big things are being asked of Amerson this season, now that he's shifting into a full-time role opposite Hall as one of the Redskins' starting cornerbacks. Washington's defense ranked in the bottom half of the league last season, and though its pass defense salvaged statistical respectability with a string of late-year successes, its expectation is that it can do much more.
That conviction has been hardened through the Redskins' first preseason games. Their first-string defense did not surrender a scoring drive until Saturday's 23-17 loss in Baltimore, when Justin Tucker capped the Ravens' fourth series with a 36-yard field goal early in the second quarter.
All told, the Redskins' top defense began the preseason by holding opponents off the scoreboard during its first nine series. The only touchdown it allowed came with 25 seconds remaining before halftime Saturday, when quarterback Joe Flacco connected with wide receiver Steve Smith for a 24-yard reception.
Baltimore likely would have scored earlier if it wasn't for Amerson. Flacco nearly found wide receiver Marlon Brown on a fade route late in the first quarter, but Amerson played Brown perfectly, running in stride and reading Brown's eyes well enough to put his hands up and knock down the ball.
Two plays later, Flacco tried to connect with Smith on a short screen pass, but Amerson headed it off by shedding a block and grabbing Smith by a leg as he attempted to lunge for a first down on third-and-2.
"He's into the second year of a system," defensive backs coach Raheem Morris said earlier this preseason. "He understands the little details of what he needs to do to get better, and he's done a nice job of really coming in shape and ready to play. He's made some nice plays."
Amerson, 22, was the Redskins' top draft pick last season, a second-rounder chosen out of N.C. State who arrived with conflicting reputations: that of a ball hawk who had an ACC-record 13 interceptions as a sophomore in 2011, and that of a cocky opportunist who snagged only five a year later.
He played approximately two-thirds of all defensive snaps as a rookie last season, rotating in on the outside while Josh Wilson, now in Atlanta, shifted inside to cover the slot. Amerson finished with 48 tackles and two interceptions, including a 45-yard touchdown return against Oakland in the fourth game of his career.
It was because of that promise that the Redskins chose not to look for another starting-caliber cornerback and instead added a few peripheral pieces, including free-agent journeyman Tracy Porter and fourth-round draft pick Bashaud Breeland.
"I think last year, it was really good for me to get out there and really get comfortable and really get into the emotion of a defense … and just really figure out mentally that I can compete with any of these receivers," Amerson said. "I'm just as good. I've got the ability to be one of those shutdown guys. That's what I'm trying to work towards."
Hall can see it, which is why he's tried to get on Amerson early in his career. Recently, he noticed Amerson is seemingly always leading the defensive backs in sprints, which reflects Hall's hounding that greatness knows no shortcuts.
"I want to try to train his body to give me everything he got, so [nothing changes] when he gets on a game field," Hall said.
As for his mind, Amerson knows only he can develop that. Thus, on the way back from Richmond two weeks ago, he hit up another teammate for a ride — strong safety Brandon Meriweather, who has played all over the defensive backfield during his college and professional careers.
With cornerback E.J. Biggers and strong safety Trenton Robinson also in the car, Amerson's chat with Meriweather wasn't as personal as the one he had with Hall on the trip down.
Then again, Meriweather said, it didn't need to be.
"From what I hear, they say your second and third years are always the best years of your career," Meriweather said. "He's a young vet now. It's not like he's still trying to figure things out."

Thanks for the help, guys. Just ordered some Rose 4.5s!
Thanks for the tip, CT.
Also, if I could trouble you all for another opinion: Should a basketball shoe be snug around the toes or should you leave some space like a non-sports shoe?
Yeah, I was leaning towards the Roses, possibly the 3.5s (maybe 4.5s if I can justify the extra cost). I've read some good things. I was also looking at the CP3s.
The only thing about the Roses is...
Anyone have any personal recommendations for good ball shoes? I've been looking at a few but I'm sure some other opinions wouldn't hurt.
It's amazing how arguably one of the best regular season games ever (ending the Heat streak) featured none of the Bulls marquee players.
I would have tried to have ooped that in 2K.
This is the most active the board has been in months.
I doubt this is a precursor to a Melo signing in the offseason. It'd be a waste of a very shrewd move by the front office.

|Anime, Manga and Game
Garuda (ガルダ, Garuda) is a hawk and the personal summon of Sasuke Uchiha.
While resembling a normal hawk, it is much larger in terms of size to one. It was depicted as being brown in colour and has dark markings around its eyes as well as along the sides of its beak.
Part II
Five Kage Summit Arc
During his fight with Danzō Shimura, Sasuke summoned this hawk to avoid falling off the Samurai Bridge after being injured by Danzō's Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere. Sasuke later disembarked from the bird in order to evade the Wind Release: Vacuum Wave while it flew towards them. [2]
In the anime, the hawk further assists Sasuke in his battle by using its body and the wind to direct one of Danzō's wind-enhanced shuriken and sending it back at him, severing Danzō's right arm and having him release his grip on Sasuke, thus allowing Sasuke to slash Danzō in the chest; in the manga, it was Sasuke who severed the right arm with his Sword of Kusanagi. After Sasuke killed Danzō, the hawk was seen flying away from the battlefield.
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
Sasuke summons the hawk when he makes his second assault on Madara Uchiha.
Final Arc
The hawk was later summoned once more to stop Sasuke and Naruto from falling into lava when Kaguya teleported Team 7 above a river of lava. Kaguya then launched a pinpoint attack, striking the hawk's tenketsu in its wings which effectively disabled its ability to fly. Naruto saves both the hawk and the rest of the team with his chakra arms, afterwards the hawk returns to its dimension.
- In the anime when Garuda débuted, a lot of its design is lost from the manga and the markings on the side of its beak are noticeably missing.
- The Garuda is a large mythical bird or bird-like creature that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist religion.
- Sasuke was first seen riding a hawk on the cover of chapter 1.
- Since all summoning animals are located in the same dimension as humans, Garuda should've been caught in Infinite Tsukuyomi, as other animals were seen caught in the genjutsu. However, Garuda seems to have bypassed the genjutsu. It is unknown if it was by chance, if all summoned animals were exempt from the technique, or if Sasuke was able to break the genjutsu when summoning it.
