Next to Coolio, Prince Paul may be rap's best sport. Consider the Handsome Boy Modeling School--a duo featuring producer and ex-Gravedigga Paul (nee Paul Huston) and Dr. Octagon's Dan the Automator (Dan Nakamura)--and its inauspicious showing at the 1998 South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin. Crammed into a tiny DJ booth inside a Sixth Street club called Bob Popular's, the pair spun records and called out raffle tickets during a Tommy Boy Records showcase. Lesser DJs would scoff at the notion of performing such a menial task, but Huston, the producer responsible for the imaginative skits on De La Soul's first three records, fully embraced the gig. Doing his best imitation of a whacked game-show host, he sarcastically called out the winning numbers and feigned enthusiasm for the fabulous prizes.
"Oh yeah. I forgot all about that," Huston says when asked about the performance. "That was a blast. I was like [in a deeper voice], 'If you have number 115, that's 1-1-5, you're a winner.' I like doing stupid stuff like that. It's low-maintenance."
Huston doesn't always take the easy way, though. With his brand-new solo album, A Prince Among Thieves, he has finally--successfully--realized an idea that had been percolating in his head for nearly 10 years. A hip-hop concept album more inspired by children's records than by Pink Floyd's The Wall or The Who's Tommy (neither of which Huston has listened to), Thieves comes complete with narrative structure, a motley cast of characters, and a real message. It tells the story of Tariq and True, two black kids whose ambitions reach far beyond their ghetto home. Tariq is an aspiring rapper, and True, his best friend, is a drug dealer who can rhyme. Like films such as Boyz N the Hood or Juice, Thieves has the tragedy of black-on-black violence at its center. It's one of the most ambitious and audacious hip-hop records in recent memory, bringing a vibrant shot of street-savvy imagination to a slumping genre.
Trouble starts when Tariq, who needs another grand to finish his demo before his meeting with Wu-Tang's RZA, asks True for the extra cash. True agrees to loan him the money only after Tariq agrees to peddle drugs for him for a week. The album, which opens with the sound of medical personnel attending to Tariq and True as they lie on the pavement after a shoot-out, retraces the steps that got them to that concrete stretcher. Thieves starts on a serious note, but in typical Prince Paul fashion, it quickly devolves into humor and parody, with Huston reaching flamboyantly into his treasure trove of old-school funk beats to create a stirring soundtrack.
"When I started writing, I didn't know exactly where I wanted to go, but I knew I really wanted to write something serious," says Huston. "People think that Prince Paul always jokes around, and I wanted to shock everybody and do something really dramatic. My intentions were to be serious, but then my personality came out in the middle of the writing. I'm not a writer by any means, so this was a new experience for me, and I couldn't tame myself."
Thieves is as much a showcase for Prince Paul as it is for its cast: a loony weapons specialist played by Kool Keith; Chris Rock's desperate drug addict, who's willing to perform fellatio in exchange for a hit; and a crooked, loudmouthed cop brought to life by Everlast. Even though the characters are stereotypes, the terrific performances and hilarious situations keep the material fresh, despite the obvious references.
"It is a parody of everything I've ever seen," Huston says. "You've got the crooked cop, hooker, sex scene, good and evil, pimp, crime boss. Every element in my story is like something you've seen before. The mom who tells her boy to do something with his life--that's like John Travolta and his pops. It's all the same crap. With a lot of it, I can't tell you where the parody or the concept comes from, but I can tell you that I've seen it a million times, and I've squeezed it all together."
Huston, who says he's been DJing "since before rap was on wax," grew up on Long Island. On his way back and forth to Brooklyn, he spied DJs in the parks and took their cues, using makeshift turntables in his bedroom. By the time he was 12, he had already developed some serious skills.
By 1986, Huston was the DJ in Stetsasonic, among the first hip-hop groups to use live instrumentation. He went on to produce De La Soul's 1989 debut Three Feet High and Rising, a seminal effort that featured the first use of skits--short, often silly segments between songs. On Three Feet, the members of De La Soul were introduced as if they were contestants on a game show.
"We had no idea what was going on with Three Feet High and Rising. It was like the blind leading the blind. Looking back, I think, 'Wow! They believed in me?'" says Huston, who has since produced 3rd Bass, Big Daddy Kane, Boogie Down Productions, and Chris Rock, whose Huston-produced comedy album, Roll With the New, won a Grammy in 1997. He adds that the skits were the result of "trying to figure out the sequencing of the songs." He also came up with the game-show concept as a way of introducing the members of De La Soul, because the game show, he figured, would best enable them to translate their personalities and vocal inflections. While Frank Zappa might have done something similar first, he didn't spawn anywhere near as many copycats. Now it seems every rapper, from Eminem to Wyclef Jean and Busta Rhymes, uses skits. Most can't come close to the ones on Three Feet High and Rising. Huston, however, says he doesn't take offense when he hears a bad skit.

The 14 Best Summer Foods for Weight Loss
'Tis the season to skimp on clothing, not flavor. These light and refreshing summer foods will tingle your tastebuds and help you shed lbs.
By Megan Cahn
We're all familiar with the importance of drinking water—especially during the hot summer months—which is why eating its namesake melon is a no-brainer. Watermelon will keep you not only keep you hydrated, it will help you feel full and satisfied. Plus, it's high in amino acids and antioxidants and is an excellent source of vitamin A and C, Glassman says. Eat it by the slice or try a uniquely delicious and refreshing watermelon salad with feta cheese, mint, and olives.

I was born and raised in "Cigar City" Tampa, FL. I was raised in a typical Cuban home. We had big birthday parties and ate rice and beans with every meal. Jesus Christ saved me at 17 when I was on a mission trip to the Bahamas (kind of ironic right). I had a scholarship to play college football at a university in South Carolina. Early my Freshman season I tore my ACL & MCL. Soon after my injury I felt the Lord calling me back to Tampa and pursue a degree in ministry. I went to Trinity College of Florida where I graduated with a degree in Pastoral Ministries with an emphasis on Youth Ministry.
Before starting at Trinity I met the woman who is now my wife. After several years of serving in the Tampa Bay area, my wife and I packed our bags and moved to Conway, Arkansas. I am now the Student Ministries Pastor of the best Youth Group in the world at Family Life Bible Church. I occasionally blog at YouthMin.org and make websites for people.
I am married to Corinne, have zero kids, and a growing record collection.

November 27, 2014
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Window blind maker Dalphis has closed its plant in Memphis, putting about 75 people out of work.
The Commercial Appeal reported the closing last week came about four weeks after Dalphis came out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Company President Charles Duffley said an investment group that bought Dalphis decided to liquidate the business because it wasn't meeting expectations.
The plant manufactured window treatments such as Venetian and motorized blinds and plantation shutters for the home-improvement industry.
Duffley and CEO Benjamin D. Morris were among those being laid off. Employees were being paid through last Friday.
A spokesman for the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development said the department would meet with affected workers.

I've been running two Fit-PC 1s for network services on my SOHO network for several years. The only reason for two is that one is the firewall, the other provides everything else (including amanda backup to a 1 TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex), and (being paranoid) I wanted those functions separate.
The Fit-PC 1 is clearly underpowered compared to more recent small machines, and I would not recommend them to the author of the article for his application (if you can still get them). But they are solid reliable machines, well worth the price. They consume ~5 watts max each (my measurement).
I would suggest the Fit-PC 2, though.
The Fit-PC 2 should run from automotive 12 volt power. Folks using PV can bypass the inverter and wall wart to power them. That saves you those inefficiencies.

A disciplinarian coach and a less indulging board are a combination that Indian cricket desperately needs.
Intense slip-fielding drill gives a clue to the team's likely playing XI for the Manchester Test.
Most Hindi serials fail to reflect political and social upheavals outside the home.
The way Ishant knocked over the otherwise dogged England tail enhanced his reputation as a fearsome fast bowler.
Replying to a query on UAE wickets, Ishant said the pitch conditions are the same anywhere in Asia.
Some things in cricket are meant to be funny. Here are a few video collections for you to laugh at.
India must win the match to level the two-Test series after New Zealand won the first game at Eden Park.
"We learnt from the second innings there that if we bowl with discipline, we will get more rewards. And that's what we did".
After Ishant Sharma's heroics with the ball, India were placed comfortably at 100 for 2.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni wasted little time asking New Zealand to bat on the green wicket.
Just one half-century in 24 innings costs Suresh Raina berth in Asia Cup squad; Pujara finds way in.
Zaheer exuded confidence that India still have a chance to win the Test match and go 1-0 up in the two-Test series.
India had been bowled out for 202 before lunch but not asked to follow-on before their bowlers dismissed NZ for 105.
Hosts amass 503 before quicks have India struggling at 130/4 on Day Two.
More than amount of grass, it is whether the grass is lively or not or base of the wicket has moisture or not.

About the one I'm looking for...
Like most of us I am looking for someone who is honest, intelligent, and pleasant to be around. I am looking for someone that is down-to-earth, without drama (maybe sometimes), someone who likes to have fun, and likes to be outdoors as much as possible.
I'd just like to add...
I want someone in my life that I can trust and someone that that will be my friend. I am not necessarily looking for a commitment, but if that is what it leads to it would be good thing.

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Using a paring knife, score plums all the way around, starting and ending at stem end and cutting just through the skin (you want to keep plums intact).
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat, add tea bags, and let steep about 5 minutes; discard tea bags. Add sugar and bring mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat, add plums, cardamom, and star anise; scrape in vanilla seeds and add pod. Simmer until plums are just tender, 15–20 minutes. Remove from heat and let plums cool in poaching liquid.
Discard vanilla pod, cardamom, and star anise. Halve plums, remove pits, and return to poaching liquid.
DO AHEAD: Plums can be poached 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

The white piece of paper
"Why is this so hard?"
"'Cause it's a white piece of paper."
"How high are the stakes?"
"How high can you count?"
"So what do you do?"
"Whatever it takes to get started. And we read new memos, and we try new themes, and we hear new slogans, and we test new lines, and after a few weeks of that…we've still got a white piece of paper."
—The West Wing, "100,000 Airplanes"
The first three seasons of The West Wing have a lot of virtues—along with some equally obvious flaws—but what I like about it the most is that it's fundamentally a show about writing. When you're an author entering an unfamiliar world or profession, even one that you've meticulously researched and explored, you naturally look for a hook that allows you to relate it to your own experience. A show called The West Wing could have focused on any element of the executive branch, but it's no accident that Aaron Sorkin ended up centering so much of it on a speechwriter, a communications director, and a press secretary, all of whom spend most of their time dealing with words.
I've been hard on Sorkin in the past, mostly due to my disappointment in the first season of The Newsroom, but there's no denying that he's as adept as anyone alive at filling that blank piece of paper. Sometimes, his facility can be a problem in itself: he has a way of falling back on old tricks, bombast, straw men, and a lovingly crafted simulation of the way intelligent people talk. Yet even the worst of his vices go hand in hand with tremendous strengths, and we only need to compare Sorkin to other writers who have tried and failed to write smart characters—as in every line of dialogue in Dan Brown's novels—to remember how talented he really is. It's impossible to watch an extended run of The West Wing, as my wife and I have been doing over the last few weeks, and not emerge wanting to sound smarter and more capable. And when I feel the need to punch up the dialogue in my own work, I'll often go back to reread a few old West Wing transcripts in hopes of picking up some of that magic.
Of course, The West Wing works because it takes place in a world that can sustain a heightened conversational register. Everyone is blindingly smart, as well as on the right side of history, and you can sometimes sense Sorkin straining when called upon to write characters of different backgrounds or opinions. If the show has one glaring weakness, it's that enormous chunks of dialogue could easily be transposed from one player to another without much in the way of revision: everyone shares the same values, and if the characters stay distinct in our minds, it's thanks more to performance and delivery than writing. Compare it to a show like The Wire, which adeptly handles so many different voices, and The West Wing can start to seem limited. In some ways, it's an expression of the different ways in which Sorkin and David Simon—a veteran reporter for the Baltimore Sun—came to television: instead of will and craft rising to create a simulation of experience, it's experience straining to bend craft to accommodate all the things it needs to say.
And what fascinates me the most about The West Wing, when viewed from a distance of so many years, is how fully its politics are an expression of a shrewd narrative strategy. Many of us catch ourselves wishing that our real policymakers were as articulate and principled as the ones here, but it's a fantasy created less by a coherent vision of politics than by a writing style. The show's idealism, which everyone agrees was its most striking characteristic, isn't a political or philosophical stance, but a set of tactics that allowed Sorkin to maneuver so gracefully within a narrow range. (You can say much the same thing about the cynicism of House of Cards: it's easier to write a television show when everyone breathes the same air, whether it's tainted or pure.) The West Wing came to mean so much to so many people because it happened to be written by a man whose talents were best exercised within a show that gave us our best versions of ourselves. It's as happy a marriage between talent and subject as television has ever provided. But it all emerged from those small daily choices and compromises demanded by a white piece of paper.
Great art and the problem of spoilers
Today on the A.V. Club, an article by critic Noel Murray has inspired a nice little discussion on the problem of spoilers, an issue on which I have some mixed feelings. On the one hand, I've been spoiled before. I had the death of a major character on The Wire spoiled for me by a clue in the New York Sun crossword puzzle, of all things. (Why, Peter Gordon, why?) And it always stings. On the other hand, I also believe that avoiding spoilers entirely can make it hard to read any kind of serious criticism. In some cases, a detailed plot summary can make it easier to get through a challenging work of art, whether it's Game of Thrones or Andrei Rublev. And a good work of art is, or should be, more than the isolated details of its plot. It's impossible to spoil a movie's visual aspects, its director's style, or the details of a great performance—although it's certainly possible, alas, to spoil a joke.
In fact, you could make the argument that a defining factor of great art is its immunity to spoilers. And the opposite also holds: once a bad work of art has been spoiled for you, there's rarely any reason to seek it out. Like a lot of people, I enjoy reading detailed plot summaries of horror movies that I never intend to see, to the point where I could probably give you a pretty good description, sight unseen, of the plot of Saw II. And I don't think I've missed much—which is not the case for The Descent, for instance, not to mention The Shining. The same is true, unfortunately, of many works of mystery and science fiction. All too often, such stories are little more than delivery systems for a twist or an interesting idea, which could be conveyed as effectively in a paragraph as in an entire novel. (That's why I like Borges, who pretends that the novel he wants to write already exists, and gives us the essential points by writing a review of it.)
A really good novel or movie, by contrast, has qualities that can't be expressed in summary form. And it's still possible to enjoy such works of art while knowing how they conclude, if the artist's craft is strong enough to return you, at least temporarily, to a state of narrative innocence. One of the most striking examples is The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Everybody "knows" what happens in that story, so it's startling to read it again, as I did a few weeks ago, and remember that the original novel, unlike its many adaptations, is structured as a straight mystery. Stevenson saves the revelation of Hyde's true identity for the end of the ninth chapter, and the effect, if you can put yourself in the position of a reader experiencing it for the first time, is stunning—the only detective story, as others have pointed out, where the solution is more horrible than the crime.
The same is true of many classic movies. I've lost track of how often I've watched Psycho—I've seen it on the big screen three times, twice in the past two years alone—and yet the structure of that movie is so strong, with its brilliant opening mislead, that the first appearance of the Bates Motel, through its dark curtain of rain, hasn't lost any of its original power. (Seeing it with an audience also helps, especially when it comes to that wonderful second murder, which has rarely, if ever, been spoiled.) The same is true, to a lesser extent, of the end of Citizen Kane: I'll never be able to experience it the way it was intended, but by the time that moment comes, I can glimpse at least a shadow of what it might have been. Is it good enough? Yes. But I'd still give anything to experience it, just once, the way it was meant to be seen.
Lessons from great (and not-so-great) television
It can be hard for a writer to admit being influenced by television. In On Becoming a Novelist, John Gardner struck a disdainful note that hasn't changed much since:
Much of the dialogue one encounters in student fiction, as well as plot, gesture, even setting, comes not from life but from life filtered through TV. Many student writers seem unable to tell their own most important stories—the death of a father, the first disillusionment in love—except in the molds and formulas of TV. One can spot the difference at once because TV is of necessity—given its commercial pressures—false to life.
In the nearly thirty years since Gardner wrote these words, the television landscape has changed dramatically, but it's worth pointing out that much of what he says here is still true. The basic elements of fiction—emotion, character, theme, even plot—need to come from close observation of life, or even the most skillful novel will eventually ring false. That said, the structure of fiction, and the author's understanding of the possibilities of the form, doesn't need to come from life alone, and probably shouldn't. To develop a sense of what fiction can do, a writer needs to pay close attention to all types of art, even the nonliterary kind. And over the past few decades, television has expanded the possibilities of narrative in ways that no writer can afford to ignore.
If you think I'm exaggerating, consider a show like The Wire, which tells complex stories involving a vast range of characters, locations, and social issues in ways that aren't possible in any other medium. The Simpsons, at least in its classic seasons, acquired a richness and velocity that continued to build for years, until it had populated a world that rivaled the real one for density and immediacy. (Like the rest of the Internet, I respond to most situations with a Simpsons quote.) And Mad Men continues to furnish a fictional world of astonishing detail and charm. World-building, it seems, is where television shines: in creating a long-form narrative that begins with a core group of characters and explores them for years, until they can come to seem as real as one's own family and friends.
Which is why Glee can seem like such a disappointment. Perhaps because the musical is already the archest of genres, the show has always regarded its own medium with an air of detachment, as if the conventions of the after-school special or the high school sitcom were merely a sandbox in which the producers could play. On some level, this is fine: The Simpsons, among many other great shows, has fruitfully treated television as a place for narrative experimentation. But by turning its back on character continuity and refusing to follow any plot for more than a few episodes, Glee is abandoning many of the pleasures that narrative television can provide. Watching the show run out of ideas for its lead characters in less than two seasons simply serves as a reminder of how challenging this kind of storytelling can be.
Mad Men, by contrast, not only gives us characters who take on lives of their own, but consistently lives up to those characters in its acting, writing, and direction. (This is in stark contrast to Glee, where I sense that a lot of the real action is taking place in fanfic.) And its example has changed the way I write. My first novel tells a complicated story with a fairly controlled cast of characters, but Mad Men—in particular, the spellbinding convergence of plots in "Shut the Door, Have a Seat"—reminded me of the possibilities of expansive casts, which allows characters to pair off and develop in unexpected ways. (The evolution of Christina Hendricks's Joan from eye candy to second lead is only the most obvious example.) As a result, I've tried to cast a wider net with my second novel, using more characters and settings in the hopes that something unusual will arise. Television, strangely, has made me more ambitious. I'd like to think that even John Gardner would approve.

Arizona Cardinals
Michael Vick to Arizona Cardinals? ESPN insider suggests it
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has not had a good season.
Vick has thrown just 11 touchdowns against nine interceptions, has been sacked 27 times and has lost three fumbles.
He's missed two games with a concussion, and appears to be running out of time in the City of Brotherly Love.
Though he's just a couple years removed from a Pro Bowl season in which he threw 21 touchdowns and just nine interceptions while running for 676 yards and nine scores, at 32 some may think Vick's days as an NFL starter are coming to an end.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter says not so fast.
"When you look around the league right now there are enough teams with enough quarterback questions," Shefter opined on ESPN radio Wednesday. "But you look at right now, who has quarterback questions? Michael Vick, would he be an upgrade in Buffalo, would he be an upgrade in Arizona, would he be an upgrade with the Jets?
"Would he be an upgrade with any team that has quarterback questions right now? Those three come to mind."
Schefter noted that if any of those teams feel like they can do better than Michael Vick then it's possible he'll be relegated to being a backup for whatever team he's with next season.
However, given that the Cardinals have started Derek Anderson, Max Hall, John Skelton, Kevin Kolb and Ryan Lindley over the last few seasons, it's fair to believe that no, the Cardinals cannot do better than Michael Vick.

PA: Search For Cop-Killing Mutant Impacts Hunting Season
It is completely understandable as to why hunters are prohibited from the forests in several towns, at the moment. With a sharp-shooting survivalist cop killer on the loose, public safety (as well as safety for the officers involved in the manhunt) comes first. Alas, it does come with a price:
…as the manhunt nears the one-month mark, the press has largely moved on and the state has canceled hunting season in seven area townships. Hunters can still track their game elsewhere, but the businesses that depend on sportsmen, from taxidermists to bed-and-breakfast proprietors, are cursing the killer police describe as ŌĆ£pure evil.ŌĆØ
[ . . . ]
Dave Weiss, a hunter who lives in the Monroe County seat of Stroudsburg, understands why the Pennsylvania Game Commission implemented the temporary ban on hunting and trapping. His anger is directed at the man suspected of killing Dickson.
"I'm mad for all of the sportsmen out there,ŌĆØ said Weiss. ŌĆ£And this ban affects a lot of people whose livelihood is dependent on hunting. It hurts the entire economy of the Poconos. It has a ripple effect. That area was built on tourism."
Area motels, campgrounds, sporting goods stores, restaurants have all been affected by this lunatic. Not to mention, of course, the families, friends, and co-workers of the slain and the injured troopers.

November 26, 2014
June 23, 2006
After much consideration, Commonwealth Attorney Jim Camblos has decided against charging parents at home during a May 28th party involving underage drinking.
Albemarle County police responded to a loud noise complaint during the early morning hours of May 28 in the 6000 block of Hillsboro Lane in Crozet. They discovered an underage drinking party and arrested 16 juveniles. However, since then Camblos has been determining whether or not to charge the parents with contributing to the delinquency of minors.
In this case, Camblos says the parents intended to have an alcohol-free party, they just did not succeed. He said however, he wants to warn parents that they face a difficult decision in the future.
"I'm not going to tell you how to raise your children. I'm not going tell you the best way to do it. I'm just going to tell you that there are liabilities, there are risks there, and there are dangers there. You need to be very careful in what you do," Camblos said.
Camblos says he recognizes that drinking and teens is a problem and they will continue to prosecute the offenders. In fact, police have made over 100 arrests for underage drinking with a vast majority being at Foxfields. Camblos said these arrests will continue to be prosecuted while he is charge.

Mel Gibson Tapes: Evidence of Tampering, Editing By Oksana Grigorieva?by Free Britney at . Comments
His vile rants have forever altered people's perception of him, but Mel Gibson's lawyers claim the now-infamous tapes of his outbursts were tampered with.
The actor's legal team says it has hard evidence that the four tapes (and counting) Oksana Grigorieva secretly recorded were tampered with and edited.
If true, it's still Mel ranting like a sexist pig, making death threats and racial slurs, and demanding to be orally serviced before burning down her house.
But it may make the tapes inadmissible in a court of law.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department will have to authenticate the Mel Gibson tapes before handing over the domestic violence case to the D.A.'s Office.
That could take some time. Gibson faces investigation by authorities for allegedly attacking Oksana Grigorieva - while she carried their daughter no less.
Authentic or not, follow the jump for ALL the Gibson tapes ...
Mel's lawyers deny he physically attacked Oksana in any way, and will present evidence to the Sheriff's Department that the tapes have been altered.
They say they have "concrete forensic evidence of tampering" with the tapes, including editing, though it is unclear if Oksana is the supposed culprit.
Grigorieva recorded Gibson's rants, but denies she is the person leaking them to various celebrity news outlets this week ... but who else could it be?
"We are not aware of any presentation Gibson's lawyers are making, but are not surprised they would make such unfounded claims," her lawyers said.
In addition to the criminal investigation against Mel, there is the matter of custody over Lucia. Grigorieva wants a judge to strip Mel of custody.
She will use tapes as evidence Mel is a danger to the child, and the authenticity of the tapes will almost certainly be raised by Mel's attorneys.
Whose side are you on?
"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone"
Mel Gibson. What a huge mistake buddy, we all know how relationships could be but you should be smart enough to know when to call it quits. it seems alcohol is the devil and making you into a bad guy. She really put a knife in your back letting these tapes out. I wish you the best MAX. CANT BUY ME LOVE!
And just to add this, if he does admit to having some issues and addressing them i feel as though he will get some level of respect back... I hate that he says derogatory things such as N****ers and C&^t and things of that nature. Perhaps he needs to find a subtler approach to voicing his opinion. Buy a boxing bag, do some yoga!! MEL WAKE UP TO YOURSELF AND SEPERATE YOURSELF FROM THIS SITUATION!!!!!!
The fact of the matter is - he needs mental help!!! That relationship is over. The way he speaks to her is with so much hate but i really feel like he loves her and wants her to follow his orders as HE is the provider!!!!! Well i do hope they come to some sort of conclusion and he gets some help by giving up the booze and getting away from her... There definitely needs to be a middle man to share the custody of there daughter.....
I think there are always two sides. One side is never completely innocent. I still LOVE Mel. Sad that she stooped to this level to try to destroy him. He is FOREVER Mel Gibson.
She's not so innocent and her baby should be taken from her if she allowed him to hit the baby (which I don't believe at all). How long ago did this supposedly happen and it's now coming out? Come on people; she just wants the "poor abused me" attention - I'm a woman and can't stand women like that - gives us all a bad name! You do have supporters behind you Mel! and I'm glad to read a lot of posters agree - you say bad things in heated arguments; a lot of which we regret; and nobody can say for sure what you actually said since the tapes were altered!
Wow, the tapes are damning...however, I don't actually believe her side is so innocent. It's clear that he's pissed. Mel feels used and he's embarrassed because he fell for the "young chicky" like so many middle aged men do regardless of their social status. I'd look to his former wife of over 25 years and to his children to get the real opinionw on what kind of man Mel really is. It's very unfortunate that this woman drove him to the point of using racist remarks. I don't believe Mel is a racist, but the use of the "n" word upsets me. I've heard alot of couples argue and I've heard it get this bad between common, normal people who aren't in the spotlight of Hollywood. Which of us haven't been driven to the point of saying horrible things at least 1 time in our lives? Mel struggles with substance abuse, a career that's clearly slowing down, aging and basically feeling like a chump because he was tricked and now is going to lose even more money.
Please - pleez - ppalease can we say -- ussian * iatch ! I still like Mel Gibson and think he has some probable provocation from this HO ! By the sound of her voice on the this tape she sounds like a real pro whore and looks even worse. GO GO MELly Mel !!!!
This is all a bunch of CRAP and you're all falling for it and its VERY PATHETIC! OMG! America is SERIOUSLY hard up for Drama 'cuz this is a very obvious FAKE situation w/the tapes.
...soooo stupid!
I hate Mel Gibson, and so what bastard asshole, if you play you pay! Maybe you as a star do not realize the jerk you've sounded like on tape,and until now I respected you from Braveheart and The Passion of Jesus! What an idiot, I hate you, let your money burn you inside out, and when you want a daughter to love you, realize the shit you said and it was either a drunken orgy rage or a vicious vile Henry VIII idiot person. It is only by the grace of God that you were killed driving a car like Diana and her lover with such a horrid person that you are. Jekel and Hyde and oh gee.....at least we hated Heather Mills but could love Paul over this domesstic drama, but it will be hard to respect/or honor you after this....dug it deep, didn't you!

If the fate of cowboy swing rested solely on singer-guitarist Wayne Hancock's shoulders, there'd be nothing to worry about for a good long while. Many artists embrace a musical style, but Wayne "The Train" seems to have internalized his. A nasal vocal twang just this side of Hank Sr.'s and a song-crafting style in the mold of vintage Western swing (with the periodic nod to rockabilly) are Hancock's calling cards. Add a smokin' backup band that plays by the same rules, and you get a sound to which "retro" doesn't quite do justice.
Hancock, a thirtyish ex-Marine, earned his chops playing in rural Texas bars as a teenager and, once out of the service, established himself in the early-'90s Austin scene. He garnered good press for his singing in Chippy, a 1994 stage play set in West Texas, and debuted on CD to critical acclaim with 1995's Thunderstorms and Neon Signs. Hancock's command of the Western lexicon made for material strong enough to stand alongside classics of the genre rather than just echo them. His latest, Swing Time, is a "live" set recorded in Austin. Judging by the onstage company he keeps there, the excitement won't stop with the vocals when he hits town. Cowboys and Indians open.

The helicopter was one of two helicopters dispatched empty from the company's base to pick up passengers from a confined area remote site at a private residence. The landing at the remote site was uneventful. Passengers were loaded into the other helicopter, and it departed without incident about 3 to 4 minutes prior to departure of the accident helicopter. The passengers were loaded into the accident helicopter, and the pilot briefed them prior to takeoff. The pilot stated that he used maximum allowable power to initiate the takeoff and started forward movement with the cyclic "needing to clear the trees/wires on the takeoff." The helicopter stopped climbing at about 30 ft agl, as it reached tree top height. The nose started to turn left, and the pilot could not stop the turn with right pedal. The helicopter continued to turn left as it settled into the trees and descended to ground impact. The pilot reported no mechanical discrepancies with the helicopter. Four minutes before the accident, the nearest weather reporting station, located about 4 nautical miles from the accident site, reported winds from a true heading of 050 at 19 knots gusting to 29 knots. Review of an on board video recording of the accident flight indicated that the helicopter departed downwind on a true heading of about 251 degrees. The pilot stated that "downwind takeoff was the reason for accident." He commented that the wind was "25 to 30 [knots] with gusts." The pilot stated that he had spoken to the operator's chief pilot the day before the accident "about the poor choice of performing this charter with high winds 25, gusting to 30." He further stated that on the morning of the accident he reiterated his concerns "about the required downwind takeoff at the remote site" to the company's operations manager. According to the operator, "the downwind departure resulted in the helicopter settling with an uncontrolled nose rotation to the left." The operator expressed the opinion that had the pilot performed a maximum performance confined area takeoff into the wind, the helicopter would have achieved effective translational lift to clear barriers without any incident or problems.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Open Road Recordings' newest rising star, Madeline Merlo, is excited to announce the release of not only a brand new single - but her debut self-titled EP! The 5-song Madeline Merlo EP features the debut single "Sinking Like A Stone," and the brand new single "Alive."
"Alive" was co-written by Merlo and fellow B.C. native & producer Dan Swinimer.
The official video for "Alive" was shot in Las Vegas, NV, by award-winning director John 'JP' Poliquin, and premiered on CMT Canada on August 8, 2014!
When Maple Ridge, BC-based Madeline Merlo signed to RGK Management and Open Road Recordings in February 2013 it was a dream come true for the 20-year-old Country singer/songwriter, and the realization of an ambition she's had since she first took the stage as a child. "My father was a musician and I think it's in my DNA to be an artist," Merlo says. "I remember always knowing that was what I wanted to do. It's always been music for me."
Merlo's first single "Sinking Like A Stone" hit iTunes worldwide, Tuesday, February 18th, 2014, and will be released to Canadian country radio Tuesday, February 25th. CMT Canada will premiere the video exclusively on Tuesday, March 4th, as part of a two-week "Fresh Face" artist campaign.
Local buzz has been swirling around Merlo for months – but recently skyrocketed when her hometown station (93.7 JRfm Vancouver) selected "Sinking Like A Stone" to be featured in their weeknight New Country Challenge. The song received a massive response, winning five consecutive nights – and was promptly added to rotation. Merlo first played in a band and began gigging in high school and continued to hone her vocal chops by performing in musical theatre productions and taking every opportunity she could to further her skills as a performer, recording artist and songwriter. "From a very young age I did commercials, sang in competitions and took advantage of any chance I got to let my creative energy out."
Her early attraction to country music was instinctual, she continues: "The first concert I went to was Shania Twain. The first song I performed in a competition
was a Carolyn Dawn Johnson song and country has just always worked for me. I love the instrumentation, the intricate musical details, and the fact that the
songs so often tell the kind of stories you can take positive messages from."
Even before signing to RGK and ORR, Merlo maintained an intensely busy schedule; writing and recording with BC-based songwriter/producer, Dan Swinimer a minimum of four days a week and gigging several times a month. "Mostly at coffee houses for just a few people," Merlo says, "but I never cared how many people were there. I just wanted to sing for anyone who would listen and wanted to hear my music."
It was Swinimer who invited RGK's Ron Kitchener to hear Merlo in action at Vancouver's Railway Club in December 2012, Merlo says, adding that signing to RGK and ORR was a lucky, right place right time scenario: "I guess he liked what he heard and decided to sign me after that."
Kitchener not only like what he heard, after seeing Merlo perform, he believed he'd found a world-class talent. "It was Madeline's voice that grabbed my attention first,"
Kitchener says, "but after spending time with her I realized that with her confidence, talent and general approach to life, she's destined to go
places and we're highly motivated to bring her music to the masses."
Madeline Merlo has always had an eclectic taste in music, but her sound and style are grounded in the music she grew up on, the classic country of artists like Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, R&B greats Etta James and Billy Holiday and modern superstars such as Miranda Lambert. But although you can hear shades of those artists in her voice, she has a style all her own, chops, spirit and soul to spare, and a unique sound she hopes will set her apart from the pack when she releases her first recordings in early 2014.

About this recipe: What's better at lunch than a fresh soup? This vegetable soup takes little effort, cooks in around an hour and can be reheated. It's the perfect soup to take into work as it keeps in the fridge for 2 - 3 days.
Depending on how you like your soup you can adjust simmering time. Longer for a thicker soup, shorter for a thinner soup :)


text: Netanyahu expected to win third term Share This: UPI 1/22/2013 6:36:50 AM JERUSALEM, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Israelis voted in parliamentary elections Tuesday widely expected to return Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to a third term but with a reduced majority. Security was tight for the vote, with more than 20,000 police officers deployed across the country. Some 5.6 million Israelis were eligible to vote. Netanyahu, who voted in Jerusalem with his wife, Sara, and sons Yair and Avner, called on Israelis to vote for the center-right Likud and right-wing nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu parties, which formed an alliance before the election. "I keep saying that the Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu represents the whole people and in this case the whole family," Netanyahu told reporters standing with his family after voting. "Anyone who wants Israel to succeed should vote for one large party." Opinion polls indicate Netanyahu's joint Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu alliance will win about 32 seats in Parliament, or Knesset, down from the previous election but enough to form a majority with right-wing parties. A right-wing bloc is expected to give Netanyahu support of about 63 seats in the 120-member Knesset, the BBC said. Netanyahu called early elections in October after his coalition failed to agree the annual budget. A victory right after U.S. President Barack Obama's inauguration would probably embolden Netanyahu, The New York Times said, letting him continue his aggressive approach toward Iran, while mostly ignoring the Palestinian conflict.
