Any camera will give you this if you use the audio input on the

All of them. The trouble people usually have is software that handles
the sync incorrectly (or doesn't really try to handle it at all. If
it's based on ffmpeg.... yeah 'all bets are off').

Just about any camera made.

Any NLE will do this. I use Cinelerra, but I'd urge you not to :-)

You'll not hit the limits of human perception in video-- even 10 bit
isn't quite there, and you ca always get closer to see more
Audio perception maxes out at around 48k/16 bit, but record to 24 bit
if possible (for production headroom).
However, anything but very high end professional equipment won't
approach these limits in reality no matter how many megapickles they
offer, and the formats being used for recording are low-rate/lossy.
That said, you could do worse than a D7000 or a 5D... depends on what
you're doing. DSLRs make great video cameras, but the ergonomics are
still better suited to still photography. Something old/cheap like an
HV40 is easier to use, but the output quality is not current

And so I teach my children to work alongside me as I plant trees, and nurture the land, and feast on the best in life, naturally. Life is to be celebrated, nurtured, harbored, protected, NOT thrown away. As long as we keep sharing the beauty of life and the value of living it in harmony with our children we will forestall the bankruptcy feared in this proverb. (Notice I said forestall). Sadly our culture regularly proves that money truly is the ROOT of all evil.
Let us celebrate and educate and emulate what is lovely, good, praiseworthy . . . and be encouraged that love endures.

This year's Houston Jewish Film Festival kicks off with Kaddish for a Friend. Director Leo Khasin pits Alexander, an 84-year-old Jewish man determined to maintain his independence rather than be sent to a nursing home, against a Palestinian teen named Ali who vandalizes his apartment and destroys many of the man's possessions on a dare. Desperate to avoid deportation, Ali's family forces him to repair the damage he has done under Alexander's hostile eye. The two barely constrain their contempt for each other, but slowly come to an understanding and eventually a friendship. The film is a metaphor for the search for peace between Jews and Arabs, but manages to remain intensely personal, as each player finds virtue in his traditional enemy, and fault in his own rage.
A collaboration of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Holocaust Museum, the festival's opening weekend also includes Deaf Jam, the story of a deaf Israeli teen who performs poetry slams using sign language, and episodes of Larry David's critically acclaimed comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm. And there's plenty more on the roster after that, too.

Neighbors Won't Haze You
The story behind One-Eyed Jacks is nearly as compelling as the actual film, and for a betrayal-and-revenge Western, that's saying something. The 1961 movie is the lone directorial effort of star Marlon Brando, who either fired Stanley Kubrick or took over after Kubrick quit to make Lolita, take your pick. The story could've come from any of several credited and uncredited sources, including Sam Peckinpah, Rod Serling, novelist Charles Neider and Brando himself. Usually such production woes make for an awful flick, but Jacks is considered a masterpiece. Dallas Cinemania will screen a 35mm Technicolor print 8 p.m. Thursday at Angelika Film Center, 5321 E. Mockingbird Lane. Tickets are $10. Visit dallascinemania.com.

David Arquette says he decided to be honest with 6-year-old daughter Coco when his marriage with Courteney Cox hit its
roughest patch.
"We went to a beach and had a picnic," Arquette told Howard Stern on his Sirius Satellite Radio show Tuesday. "[I] explained to her that we're grownups, and a lot of the time when grownups are growing up, they need to figure out their lives. ... Sometimes that takes each other having a little space."

Howard Stern and his new bride are spending a lot of post-nuptials time together – running.
That's because Beth Ostrosky, 36, is training for Sunday's New York City marathon.
"The greatest thing is that he's a runner and he's been running most of the mileage with me," she told PEOPLE at the Animal Fair Magazine 8th Annual Halloween Pet Costume Party in New York City this week. "I have him all weekends for the runs, and that's huge."
Ostrosky, who has been running every day since she married the radio jock at a star-studded wedding on Oct. 3, says her husband's encouragement is helping her stay focused on her goal.

Has the spark gone out of their relationship, now what Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky have finally tied the knot? No way, she says. "It's only gotten better."
The best part of married life? "Howard calls me his wife now," the giddy newlywed told PEOPLE Tuesday at the Saks Fifth Avenue launch of their annual Key to the Cure shopping weekend. "It's the first week, so [that's] really exciting."
The two were wed in a romantic ceremony at Manhattan's Le Cirque restaurant Oct. 3 – while celeb guests Kelly Ripa, Billy Joel, Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman looked on.
So does Ostrosky have any tips for other brides-to-be? "Don't sweat the small stuff," she said. "In the end, the color of the flowers doesn't matter!"

Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky's wedding last Friday at Le Cirque restaurant in Manhattan had guests both in tears and laughter, PEOPLE reports in its latest issue, on sale Friday.
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel kicked off the ceremony with a poem in which he teased Stern, 54, for his early bedtime habits and love for the TV show The Bachelor.
During the self-written vows, in which Stern told Ostrosky, 36, she was the love of his life, "People were crying," says a guest. "The vows were from each others' hearts."

After taking their time to walk down the aisle, Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky really got it right when they were married Friday night in New York City – amid a glittering crowd that included the Trumps, Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos (who officiated), Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman (together again, apparently), Chevy Chase, Joan Rivers, Barbara Walters and Billy Joel, who performed two songs.
The couple's secret? Planning.
It started "last December," said Elli Jafari, general manager of the midtown restaurant Le Cirque. "We really kept the secret well. Even my best friends didn't know about it."

Howard Stern and his longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky were married in New York City on Friday night, according to guests who attended the celebration.
The guest list for the wedding, held at the restaurant Le Cirque, included Joan Rivers, Barbara Walters, Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman and Stern's radio co-host, Robin Quivers.
Stern, 54, and Ostrosky, 36, were joined in a ceremony officiated by Mark Consuelos, the husband of Kelly Ripa, who also attended. Billy Joel sang two songs, and Chevy Chase delivered a raunchy roast, said one guest.

Don't believe the hype!
Despite a slew of wedding reports, it seems Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky are still single.
"We are not married," Ostrosky told PEOPLE Thursday night at The Bridge, a golf club in Bridgehampton, New York, where Sotheby's unveiled works by artist Damien Hirst for an upcoming auction.
So what sparked all the wedding talk last week? She said the happy couple hosted a "family celebration" at their Hamptons home on Aug. 23 – prompting the press to assume it was the big day.
"It was a beautiful, beautiful event," said the model, who has been engaged to the shock jock since last Valentine's Day. "I wore a white dress and Howard wore white pants and a blue shirt. But it was just a celebration of the wedding. The real thing is in October."

Unlike Chris Noth's Mr. Big character in Sex and the City – who left Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw waiting at the altar – Howard Stern is not experiencing any last-minute change of heart, according to his soon-to-be bride.
Although, as far as that ever-elusive wedding date is concerned, "Honestly, we haven't figured it out," Beth Ostrosky insisted at Sunday's Hamptons premiere of the movie musical Mama Mia, sponsored by Blackberry.
Still, Ostrosky, who turns 36 on Tuesday, tells Hamptons magazine, "Howard and I were on the lawn the other day, hanging out, saying that we absolutely cannot wait to get married. There are no pre-wedding jitters. It's all excitement and joy."

Still intent on marching down the aisle together, Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky have once again revised plans as to where their wedding will take place.
Whereas recently the bride-to-be – whose engagement to the Sirius Radio star turned 1 year old on Valentine's Day last month – told PEOPLE that the ceremony would occur in New York's Hamptons, that rural setting may now be swapped for an urban one.
"We're going to get our friends together at a restaurant, very low-key … in the city," Stern, 54, holding hands with his 35-year-old fiancé, told PEOPLE at Thursday's Cinema Society and GQ screening of Stop-Loss, in Manhattan.
No further details were forthcoming, as Stern, fresh from two glasses of wine, said he needed to get to the men's room. Fast.

With aggregated budgets of about $2 billion and a total of 12,000 employees, the Offices of the Inspector General (IGs) are not a tiny presence in government. Their amazing ability to attract media attention for various lurid exposes (even when, as is typical, on closer inspection by knowledgeable people there is less there than meets the eye) gives them influence in Washington even beyond their budgets and numbers.
IG's certainly do good work, particularly on the criminal and fraud-detection side. Their audits of wasteful spending – the bread and butter of their media coverage – are a mixed bag, sometimes on-target and sometimes merely sensationalistic. Many of their other audits are basically reports on agency compliance with various rules. These are again very much a mixed bag – partly, the rule violations are often trivial, and partly, obeying the rules is typically only a small part of what it means to have a good, effective program.
Now, however, voices are beginning to be raised suggesting that diversification of the IG role could increase their ability to contribute to effective and efficient government. In a recent column called "Making the IGs Part of the Solution," Gadi Dechter of the Center for American Progress – a Democratic-affiliated think tank that has shown an admirable interest in improving public management – urges that IGs should not just be exposing what doesn't work but also what does work.
The purpose is not (certainly not just) to give a more balanced picture of government, but to point out practices being applied in one place in government that could usefully be transferred to other places in government. (Full disclosure: My wife Shelley Metzenbaum, who is in charge of federal performance measurement out of OMB, is quoted several times in the column.)
Dechter's column cites two examples – a Commerce IG study of telework in the Patent and Trademark Office concluding that this could save money while maintaining quality, and a State Department IG study of efficient practices used at some U.S. embassies. In both cases, the information would be valuable to other organizations, or other parts of an organization, trying to improve their own performance.
There is another way I think IGs could contribute to improved agency performance. The more performance measurement becomes part of the way the government does business, the greater the temptation to cheat on measurement reporting. The auditing industry in the private sector (which provides a role model for IGs) grew up there to police companies on behalf of shareholders, given the incentives to game profit or other business performance measures, because those performance measures were so important. IGs should take a cue from the commercial audit industry to make auditing of the quality of government performance data an important part of their mission.
Will this ever happen? It is sadly hard to be optimistic. Getting headlines for sensationalize waste reports is so much more fun. In Dechter's column, the Project for Government Oversight, the interest group advocating IGs uber alles, poured cold water on his suggestion.
But I have to assume most IGs actually believe in good government. The British National Audit Office follows the kind of approach advocated here – criticizing, but also seeking to praise and spread good practice. There have to be more IGs out there who would rather be more effective at improving government, even if it meant a few fewer headlines, right?

Garden City field day shows drought effects
By Jennifer M. Latzke
The K-State Southwest Research and Extension Center, Garden City, Kansas, hosted its annual Spring Field Day May 27. With just a little over 17 inches of rain on average for the year, and just 2.05 inches since the first of the year, 2014 is shaping up to be the driest spring on record for the station, explained John Holman, cropping systems agronomist.
"We are sitting at 40 percent of normal precipitation," Holman told the crowd. The center applied about 7 inches of additional irrigation over the wheat variety plots since they were planted in the fall. In a way, the extreme conditions showed just what the wheat varieties are capable of producing when challenged.
Guorong Zhang, wheat breeder at the Kansas State University Agriculture Research Center-Hays, was on hand to discuss the public and private wheat varieties on trial and their performance under the harsh drought conditions.
One experimental variety out of the K-State program was KS 061406-LN-37, with more than 10 percent more yield potential than Everest, from which it's derived, Zhang said. Its resistance to rusts is still unsure as yet, since this year was so dry and there weren't a lot of rust races to challenge wheat. Breeders are excited about this variety's yield potential, Zhang said, but they still need one more year of baking quality data to see what its place on the market will be.
Showing promise, yet again, was TAM 112 and TAM 111, both of which can endure longer periods of drought, Zhang said. "TAM 112 has more yield potential than 111," he said. "It also has wheat curl mite resistance, which makes the wheat resistant to wheat streak mosaic virus."
Limagrain's T153 is a 2011 release with good drought tolerance and stripe rust resistance, Zhang said. "It looks like it will perform good this year," he added.
Oklahoma State University's Billings, showed it's a good fit for irrigated acres in western Kansas, Zhang said. "It has good resistance to rusts," he said. "And it is a medium to early variety."
Another variety out of OSU, DBLSTOP Plus, is a Clearfield wheat variety that shows tolerance to drought, resistance to rust and offers the herbicide resistance package that comes with the Clearfield genes, Zhang said.
For those with an eye toward white wheats, Plainsgold Antaro, a Colorado State University-bred variety, is a good drought tolerant derivative of TAM 101, Zhang said. It offers stripe rust resistance and is not prone to sprouting, he added.
K-State canola breeder Mike Stamm, with Holman, discussed the various canolas on trial at the Garden City location.
The location is the site of the National Winter Canola Trials, Stamm said. More than 50 varieties of canola were planted in the study, including some international varieties that are being screened for their use in western Kansas and the southern Great Plains. They were planted about Aug. 30.
"We irrigated soon after we planted, and then we had another 1 inch of rain," Holman said. "That came up to about 2.5 inches of moisture at planting, and it really deepened the seed placement." The stand wasn't as established as well as he'd hoped, and so they replanted the trials three weeks later. That wasn't the only challenge Mother Nature threw at the crop this year. In May a hail storm took the top off of the developing crop, Stamm said. However, canola, as an indeterminate crop, continued to grow and put on new pods.
The station found success with a split pivot of corn and canola, Holman said. The combination of a more drought-tolerant crop like canola and a more water-intensive crop like corn seems to utilize water resources to the fullest extent. The next phase of study at the station will look at irrigation scheduling on canola, Holman said. Specifically, when is the best time to apply water during canola's growth stages to maximize water efficiency on the crop.
Some late spring freezes affected the station's canola in that the plants weren't quite as tall as in year's past, Stamm said. However, he cautioned farmers that height isn't exactly a predictor of yield. Some of these canola varieties can be shorter and have some of the best yields in the state. They just won't know until harvest and the crop's in the bin.
Sarah Zukoff, the center's entomologist, was also on hand to talk about insect pressures and identification in fields. And Holman discussed cover crops and their best uses in low water situations.

In debt? Collectors still have no right to bully you
I don't like to admit it, but I've never been good with money. I like to blame it on my parents who never really taught us about finances, but I'm almost 40, so I think the time has come for me to take full responsibility for my mistakes.
I've had my fair share of financial problems, which means I've been on the receiving end of phone calls from the "lovely people" whose job it is to try to collect debts on more than one occassion. The majority of them have said what they needed to say and gone on to call the next person on their list. Others have been a little rude or persistent and I've dealt with them accordingly (by asking to speak to a supervisor, for example). But only a few weeks ago, we had to deal with one that took the cake.
And it wasn't even a phone call! It was a letter from some collection agency that threatened my husband with arrest if he didn't pay some kind of speeding ticket he supposedly got in Texas when he was driving cross-country during our move from Miami to Denver almost six years ago. What?
While we knew there had obviously been some kind of mistake, I'd be lying if I said that getting a letter like that doesn't scare you just a tiny bit. We ended up resolving the misunderstanding, but it got me thinking about all those people who might erroneously believe that it's okay to be incessantly harassed by debt collectors. Well, I'm here to tell you that it's NOT! So if you've been receiving phone calls from debt collectors before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. or they're calling you at work even though you've told them not do that, they're breaking the law.
Check out some of the other practices that are illegal for debt collectors under the Federal Trade Commission's Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:
- Using threats of violence, harm or arrest
- Using obscene or profane language
- Falsely claiming that they are attorneys or government representatives or that you've committed a crime
- Misrepresenting the amount you owe

Wow 6 yrs for them to send a letter? Thats crazy. I have been bothered before by collectors and I have to say that I would not like to have their job bc I have been kinda rude to some that call me, and I couldnt imagine how some people treat them. I just deal with it and pay it whenever I can. I also know when someones calling me so I dont have to answer :)

Authorities in southeastern Wisconsin say a pilot whose small plane crashed as he was trying to land has been taken to a hospital with head injuries.
The Walworth County sheriff's office says 79-year-old Ronald G. Scott of East Troy was trying to land his plane Saturday afternoon when he crashed.
Scott was the only person in the aircraft. His condition was not immediately available.
Deputies say the crash occurred on a privately-maintained grass airstrip in the town of East Troy.
Scott was flying an experimental 1969 plane that he designed and built himself.

eReader screen showdown: iPad IPS LED Backlit LCD versus e-Ink Displays
Summary: We test the iPad's IPS screen for e-book readability under a variety of lighting conditions versus the competition using Vizplex e-Ink.
19 of 21Image
The iPad on left is shown with the Font/Text controls on the Kindle app for enabling White on Black text next to the PRS-700 with the Mighty Brite. Unlike iBooks, the control for reversing the screen color and high contrast is built into the application.Click here to read more at ZDNet Tech Broiler
Here are two identical pages of text on iBooks using White on Black and Black and Black on White text. We've found that Black on White is much more appropriate for nighttime reading when using an iPad.Click here to read more at ZDNet Tech Broiler
The Kindle app for iPad actually has the ability within the on-screen menus to switch between black on white and white on black. Additionally, we've noticed that the Kindle app wastes far less screen estate on the "widgets" and controls than iBooks does, so we find it to be a superior reader for nighttime reading.Click here to read more at ZDNet Tech Broiler

Egypt court releases 20 Morsi supporters
By Naglaa Fathi, Thursday, March 13, 2014
GHARBIYA, Egypt – A criminal court in the southern Egyptian province of Minya on Thursday ordered the release of 20 supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi over charges of staging "unlicensed" protests.
The court also remanded ten more Morsi supporters in custody for 15 days on charges of breaking into and torching a police station in Minya in mid-August following the violent dispersal of two pro-Morsi sit-ins in Cairo.
Meanwhile, prosecutors in the Nile Delta province of Gharbiya ordered the release of four Morsi supporters who were accused of staging a protest without permission.
The authorities have launched an all-out crackdown on the ousted president's supporters and the members of his Muslim Brotherhood movement following his ouster on July 3 by the military.

Brooklyn's Finest Lyrics - Jay-Z
Review The Song (12)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ay Yo peep the style and the way the cops sweat us
The number one question is can the Feds get us
I got vendettas in dice games against ass betters
And niggas who pump wheels and drive Jettas, take that with ya
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Hit ya, back split ya, fuck fist fights and lame scuffles
Pillow case to your face, make the shell muffle
Shoot your daughter in the calf muscle
Fuck a tussle, nickel-plated
Sprinkle coke on the floor, make it drug related, most hated
Can't fade it, while ya'll pump willy, I run up and stunt silly
Scared, so you sent your little mans to come kill me
But on the contrilli, I packs the mack-milli
Squeezed off on him, left the paramedics breathin soft on him
What's ya name?
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Who shot ya? Mob ties like Sinatra
Peruvians tried to do me in, I ain't paid them yet
Tryin to push 700's, they ain't made them yet
Rolex and bracelets is frostbit
Rings too, niggas round the way call me Igloo Stick - who? (motherfuckers)
Chorus: Jay-Z
What, what, what, Jay-Z, Big Smalls, nigga shit ya draws
Brooklyn represent ya'll hit, ya fall
Ya crazy, think a little-bit of rhymes can play me
I'm from Marcy, I'm varsity, chump, your JV
(Jigga) Jay-Z
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Nigga baby, My Bed-Stuy flow's malicious
Delicious, Fuck three wishes, made my road to riches
From 62 gem stars, my moms dishes
Gram choppin, police van dockin, D's at me doors knockin
Keep rockin, No more Mista Nice Guy
I twist ya shit the fuck back with the pistols
Blazin, hot like cajun, hotter than leaving holding work at the Days Inn
With New York plates outside, get up outta there, fuck the ride
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Keep ya hands high, shit gets steeper
Here comes the Grim Reaper
Frank Wright, need the keys to your Integra
(That's right)
Chill homie, the bitch in the Shownies told me
Your holding more drugs than a pharmacy
You ain't harmin me, so pardon me
Pass the safe before I blaze the place and here's six shots just in case
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for nine six, the only MC with a flu
Yeah I rhyme sick, I be what your tryin to do
Made a fortune off Peru, extradite, china white hero(i)n
Nigga please, like short sleeves I bear arms
Stay out the way from here on
(Clear) gone
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Nea Gutter had two spots
The two for five dollar hits, the blue tops
Gotta go, Coolio mean it's gettin Too Hot
If Fey' had twins, she'd probably have two Pacs
Get it? Tu-pac's?
Time to separate the pros from the cons
The platinum from the bronz
And butter soft shit from the leather on the Fonz
The S1 diamond from my eye class don
A Chan Don sipper from a Rosay nigga, huh
Brook Na, sippin on
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Cristal forever, play the crib when it's mink weather
The M.A.F.I.A. keep canons in they Marc Buchanans
Usually cuatro cinco, the shell sink slow, tossin ya
Mad slugs though your Nautica, I'm warnin ya

Let them rest in peace | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/30/11
Anonymous these idiots have made America look more stupid haha.... I think all you guys saying that big was In on the Pac shooting or the he payed for Pac to get killed are stupid no one knows so shut up and let these two great reppers rest in peace... And this is an amazing song and bi is making fun of Pac cause he had sex with faith that is all
Pac defined RAP | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/14/11
jay z is a good business man and he sells telling his story, biggie was a hustler and he sold telling his story. But lets face da facts here, pac was da one. No other rapper dead or alive can be compared to him. When he was stil alive he dd better than both jayz and biggie. Even 15 years after his death jayz is still behind.
Waste | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/19/10
Di!! suck!!! lips jay z is a pop artist jus like the spice girls, he's a fake 40yr old who still thinks he's 20 and from the hood and y'all who like his style are fake too and even acknowledging him is a serious joke.
Biggie could spit,but he was second to Pac. Only PAC spat real deep sh!! never fake or hype jus pure deep sh!! and bcuz of that them jealous illuminati sell outs had him killed, but Pacs ppl made sure fat boy gets buried too! PAC turned Biggies lyric round on him " somebodys got to die, if I go u got to go" Fu!! all you jay z fans y'all soft
Dear Mr. 2Pac fan :) | Reviewer: John | 10/6/10
Look, no disrespect to Pac, but I think we should all be honest here. When Pac got shot he ASSUMED Biggie and Puffy had something to do with it and lashed out with Hit Em Up. This song is HARDLY a diss in comparison to the... gee... I dunno, 10, 15 death threats Pac dropped in that song. If Pac really KNEW for sure who had shot him etc., I can gaurantee he would've done something violent to them. And to let you know, at the time, ALL rappers are victimized at some point in most cases. So you tweaking shit over these lyrics and making the comment you make just goes to show that well... really... You're a Tupac whore.
BIG and JAY>>>>best ever | Reviewer: dafreak | 4/2/10
Theres no one dead or alive could top the lyrics, flow, delivery, and story-telling that the BIG man had, and for people to say that this is a diss on Pac then you dont know what your talking about, and if so, BIG shoulda went a lot harder...Hit em' up came out almost a year before this song did, so BIG had every right to diss on him, if you wanna hear a real diss then listen to Long Kiss Goodnight or Who Shot Ya...Pac got killed cuz he was leaving death row not to mention they decided to jump a known Crip at the MGM the night he got shot...
anonymous | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/28/09
2pac fan.
Your grammar is terrible and you obviously have little to no knowledge concerning the feud between Big and Pac. So, please, for the sake of not making America sound like a moron, please attend the 3rd grade and learn that you shouldn't leave your participles dangling.
just...respect...the...hustle | Reviewer: K!NG | 8/3/09
look all i know is what i hear.
and its pure genius. g.e. nius.
im technically not qualified to speak out on the "supposed" beef between pac ind big. i wasnt there to eye witness da shit.
but neva da less respect the hustle.
the lyrical composition of dis joint is masterful.
you hear dis and you get hyped das da essense of hip hop right there.
word to the fans:
every time you hype issue of tension between pac and big you let the legacy of that arist die.
when you do dat you just allow the next person to have power over the artists respective talents.
if you know what you know jus keep it to ya self
dont force on anyone.
you know they diserve it
shut up | Reviewer: Arela | 3/7/09
Jay n big's lyrics are the real definition of rap. fuck you all who aint know this. Pac writes. I woke up in the morning and ask myself
Its life worth living should i blast myself. Its cool anyway but good enough for the comprehension of a little school child. I might not understand every Big's line but they rap me when i get Chill homie, the bitch in the Shownies told me
Did you know? | Reviewer: stright outta Poland | 1/19/09
You gotta know, the last verse was supposed to be "I'm warning Ya, most hated in California", but Hov' said to chill, cause that time he figured like he had no beef with pac. Pac was a sneaky muthafucka. They killed him with their grip here, that's fo' sure.
best song eva made | Reviewer: ISAIAH | 1/12/09
this is by far the hottest song lyrical done the other people who commented on the song is some dumb bitches the song hot what does the song have 2 do wit the death of pac and big nothin this is a jay z and big song fuck pac rite now why did u put him in ya comments 2 the song big had nothin 2 do wit pacs death and in this song he makes fun of pac sleepin wit faith any way biggie and jay are lyrical genius

Derelict vessels removed from St. Johns River
Updated On: Apr 26 2013 09:19:57 PM EDT
Taking to the St. Johns River on Friday, a Clay County Sheriff's Office task force targeted some of the worst boats on the water, working one by one to remove them.
Some of the boats had been there for years, if not decades, and those behind the effort say they were long overdue to be gotten rid of.
"The issue here is some environmental concerns for the vessels that don't deteriorate that are going to be sitting here for who knows how long," said Chris Castelli, of the Sheriff's Office. "And some of these vessels are navigation hazards for this area, people that are coming through this area maybe at night and they're not lit. So that's an issue."
Over the years, for a slew of reasons, people have left their boats in the part of the river near Green Cove Springs. Deputies say dumping of derelict vessels is not only a nuisance, it's a crime and a danger to boaters.
So the Sheriff's Office, the commissioners, the Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission teamed up to rid the waters of the problem. They hired contractors with cranes and barges to do the job.
"We literally are able to lift them directly up and not take them across any hazards and put them right onto the barge," said Wayne Konga, of South End Marine.
Deputies say the deed had to be done, and it should serve as a lesson to people that the river is not a dump.
"The persons responsible for the vessels are criminally liable as well as civilly liable to the taxpayers who have to fund the removal of these vessels," Castelli said.
