Noting that Jay-Z and R. Kelly have largely avoided taking the stage together, the New York Daily News quotes an unnamed tour insider saying the performers can't stand each other.
"Offstage, they're not even speaking," the source told the newspaper. "It's become a huge problem."
So huge that Jay-Z and Kelly only perform briefly together at the beginning and end of each show, while the rest of the time they tag-team on solo sets.
"Jay-Z and R. Kelly took the stage together...as all-conquering heroes, acting and looking every bit the part of the joint tour's weighty moniker: Best of Both Worlds," begins a review in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "Less than 10 minutes later, though, the pair separated and spent most of the evening performing apart and trading off 10- to 15-minute solo sets--suggesting this is a marriage for financial gain rather than true, star-crossed love."
But Kelly's publicist, Alan Mayer, dismisses talk of a feud.
"These kind of reports are totally predictable when you get two big stars together and in this case, it's totally not true," Mayer told E! Online.
Nonetheless, reports suggest much of the chill has to do with Jay-Z's lingering reticence to associate himself too closely with Kelly's kiddie-porn problems.
The stars were supposed to hit the road two years ago when the disc hit stores but nixed those plans in June 2002, when Kelly's infamous sex tape found its way to the media, eventually resulting in charges of possessing child pornography.
Album sales for The Best of Both Worlds tanked, but fans apparently forgave Kelly, who declared his innocence and rebounded the following year with his multiplatinum 2003 release, Chocolate Factory, and 2004's double-CD, Happy People/U Saved Me, which sold 403,000 copies its first week last month.
Jay-Z agreed to partner with the resurgent Kelly, recording the follow-up album The Best of Both Worlds: Unfinished Business (due next Tuesday) and launching the long-awaited tour, set to hit 40 cities this fall.
But things got off to a rocky start in Chicago last month. The Daily News says that Kelly wasn't thrilled when Jay-Z brought down the house in Kelly's hometown. "Jay-Z destroyed R. Kelly onstage," a tour source told the newspaper.
The second Windy City show started two hours later, which tour organizers blamed on "logistical and production concerns." The delay caused a ripple effect, leading to the cancellation of the following show in Cincinnati.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports the reason for the initial delay was because Kelly arrived at the venue two hours late, ticking off Jay-Z.
But Kelly publicist Mayer says the delay had more to do with a lack of rehearsal time than any diva-type behavior.
"That first show was the first time they had run through the entire show and it ran long and so they were cutting sequences...That's why the second show was delayed because they were still making changes," said Mayer. "As a result of that, they had to cancel a third show."
And then there's the controversy over Kelly's raunchy set, which includes hot-and-horny tunes like "Snake," "Bump 'N Grind" and "Ignition" accompanied by some raunchy onstage antics.
Chicago Sun-Times critic Jim DeRogatis (who also happens to be a witness for the prosecution in Kelly's case) wrote in an Oct. 1 review of the opening show that the concert's opening video shows Jay-Z and Kelly's tour buses headed to Chicago with the latter being chased by a line of police cars. DeRogatis says Kelly apparently made light of his legal problems throughout, at one point appearing with two dancers "in a barred jail cell and feign[ing] wild intercourse."
Prosecutors subsequently requested a videotape of the performance after reading DeRogatis' piece, even though Kelly's defense team took issue with the critic's interpretation of the concert antics, calling DeRogatis "flat-out wrong" and "tainted by bias," adding that the cage was part of a "jungle motif" unrelated to Kelly's legal woes.
In any case, Kelly "was considerably tamer" in subsequent shows, according to the Associated Press.
Of course, Jay-Z could be focused on bigger things. The rapper, who claims he is retiring from his recording career in the coming months, is supposedly in the running for president of Def Jam Records, according to Rolling Stone.
Barring any further snags, the tour will next hit Little Rock, Arkansas, on Thursday followed by a show Friday in Birmingham, Alabama. The trek is scheduled to wrap up Nov. 28 in Phoenix.

I have written about Urbana Corp (TSE: URB and TSE: URB.A) several times, and Saj Karsan wrote about it here. The short story is that this is an investment company with holdings comprised of stock exchanges and other financial companies. The bulk of the company's assets (by value) are publicly traded, so therefore easily valued. Unlike many of the companies I feature on this site, an investor doesn't need to question whether the inventory should be written down, or whether receivables will be collectible. Other than a potentially overvalued future tax asset (management will need some capital gains in order to utilize this!), the assets are transparent and mostly liquid, making the investor's job somewhat easier. The manager publishes the company's NAV weekly, but I've created a Google Spreadsheet that updates the values of the publicly traded stocks (including the currency fluctuations) in real time.
You can see the spreadsheet here.
Also, the company continues to repurchase Class A Non-Voting shares, which over time should close the massive gap between NAV and the current share price.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for improving the spreadsheet.

David Harsanyi: Economic 'fairness' is backfiring
And though it's reasonable to contend that Republicans need to display more compassion - if for nothing else than their own political survival - isn't it also reasonable to take stock of how things have gone for the poor under four-plus years of progressive rule?
Now, if you're heavily invested in the market, life is peachy. A confounding fact, no doubt, when one considers that nearly every economic indicator known to mankind has been pretty abysmal of late. We are experiencing high unemployment, a shrinking labor force, stagnant gross domestic product growth and rickety consumer confidence. A disconnected market, though, has been on a historic boom. So if we need any more proof that life really isn't fair, think about this: The rich have the Federal Reserve, and you have Harry Reid.
What does it mean in substance? According to a new Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data, thanks to a robust stock and bond market, coupled with a lousy housing market, the recovery has meant that households with a net worth in the upper 7 percent have seen their net worth rise, on average, by nearly 30 percent in the years after the recession and that everyone else's net worth has dropped by an average of 4 percent.
The economic gap between whites and minorities is even worse. According to the Urban Institute, whites, on average, have two times the income of blacks and Hispanics and six times the wealth, and that gap is accelerating.
This is going on, if you can imagine, even after a tax hike on the wealthy.
The left's answer to this accelerating disparity under Obama will, no doubt, be more regulatory burdens, more tax hikes (the President is still obsessed with closing loopholes on private jets - a rounding error, in his budget), more deficit spending and more programs that smooth over all the unjust vagaries of life. Most often, these solutions erect barriers to mobility for small businesses and entrepreneurs - the types of people who help alter the dynamics of mobility. Despite what you may hear, more revenue for government doesn't create wealth. A freer economy and more societal stability do.
If Americans believe that government should promote opportunity and mobility and not equality of outcomes, as this administration claims, allowing more economic freedom would not leave us hapless in the face of unregulated anarchy. It would do the opposite. It would invite more innovation and more opportunity.
Or forget policy. Maybe this is a moral question. Maybe it's a question of leadership. You may believe that government has no business telling us how to lead our lives. I would agree. But if the President were really concerned about inequality, rather than praise abortion mills, he might want to speak out on the importance of families, which, whether we like it or not, are one of the leading indicators of personal prosperity. He might want to speak out about the immorality of a welfare state that helps destroy those families.
Because really, what policy passed or proposed by Democrats over the past four years has started or would start fixing the income disparity in any substantive way? There are two obvious ways to start doing that, and neither seems to interest the President.

Even thought he was a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers for more than a decade, Coco Montoya remains one of the most underappreciated old-school blues guitarists. Touring in support of his most recent disc, the fiery and soulful Dirty Deal, Montoya has always been an equal to genre heavyweights such as Buddy Guy and B.B. King. Produced by Paul Barrere and featuring members of Little Feat, the new effort is the kind of classic blues/soul that has sadly become anachronistic to many of the younger practitioners of the blues, those who sacrifice the song for the solo. Sure, Montoya's guitar is front and center in the mix, but there is room to roam for the groove and feeling expressed in songs such as Montoya's own "Coin Operated Love" and Johnny Copeland's poignant "It's My Own Tears." Few working the blues circuit today can tackle chestnuts from Otis Rush and Lowell Fulson and invest them with the kind of authentic integrity that Montoya so effortlessly generates.

Nike Roshe Run – Black/Anthracite Siren Red
Is it too early to mark the Nike Roshe Run as one of the top models introduced this year?
The reaction that this shoe has been getting has been mainly positive and Nike continues to release solid colorways, lately with the black/anthracite-siren red.
It seems as if the staple color scheme for the Roshe is a solid upper with a loud outsole, which isn't a bad thing but makes a large amount of potential possibilities for this sneaker.
These are available now in stores like Shelta. Via MashKulture

Elliot Johnson is doing everything that he can to make an impact on the Braves in their quest for their first division title since 2005. In Atlanta's 2-0 win over the Indians on Tuesday night, Johnson tripled in a pair of runs in the second inning, spurring Atlanta to the victory. In his post-game interview with Fox Sport South interviewer Tom Hart, Johnson did his best impression of a NASCAR driver to much more success than his impression of an impression over the weekend, thanking four sponsors in the first ten seconds of his interview with Hart and then spouting off racing cliche after racing cliche. Hart tried to bait Johnson into bringing back his Tim Kurkjian impression, but Johnson wasn't biting. You need to do what you can to try to make the postseason roster, I guess. [MLB.com]

ÆON Co., Ltd. (イオン株式会社 Ion Kabushiki-gaisha ){{#invoke:Namespace detect|main}}, commonly written AEON Co., Ltd., is the holding company of Æon Group. It has its headquarters in Mihama-ku, Chiba, Chiba Prefecture.[1]
It operates all the AEON Retail Stores (formerly known as JUSCO supermarkets) directly in Japan. Meanwhile AEON CO. (M) BHD operates all the AEON Retail Stores directly in Malaysia.
Æon is the largest retailer in Asia. Æon is a retail network comprising 129 consolidated subsidiaries and 26 equity-method affiliated companies ranging from convenience stores "Ministop" and supermarkets to shopping malls and specialty stores, including Talbots. ÆON is Japan's single-largest shopping mall developer and operator.
It is originally founded in 1758 by founder Okada Sozaemon (岡田惣左衛門){{#invoke:Namespace detect|main}}.{{#invoke:Namespace detect|main}}{{#invoke:Namespace detect|main}}[citation needed] The current company was established in September 1926. In 1970 three companies, Futagi, Okadaya, and Shiro, formed JUSCO Co., Ltd. The employees voted to name the company "Japan United Stores Company." On August 21, 2001, the company became ÆON Co., Ltd. On August 21, 2008 the corporate structure changed. ÆON Co., Ltd. became a holding company while ÆON Retail Co., Ltd. took over the retail operations formerly held by ÆON Co., Ltd.[1]
As of March 1, 2011, all JUSCO and SATY stores under the AEON umbrella in Japan officially changed their names to Aeon while all the JUSCO stores and shopping centres in Malaysia are fully re-branded into Æon since March 2012. However, JUSCO stores still operate in the Greater China region and some others.
In November 2012, AEON acquired the operation of Carrefour Malaysia with an enterprise value of €250 million.[2] All of the current Carrefour hypermarkets and supermarkets in Malaysia will be fully re-branded into "AEON Big" in the near future. The acquisition of Carrefour Malaysia will make AEON as the second largest retailer in the nation, combining the sales from AEON Retail stores (formerly known as JUSCO) and current Carrefour outlets. [3] Post-acquisition, AEON's ASEAN business vice president said the retail giant envisages to open 100 outlets in various formats in the country by year 2020. [4]

best burger in Los Angeles
- c
- Chris Dec 9, 2000 01:35 PM
My family is starting a journal (with the reporter being my six year-old) on the search for the best burger in LA. The criteria is wide open, and will probably evolve as the tasting continues. I'd appreciate any chowhounder's advice on where to get started. The pre-journal favorite is the Pie & Burger in Pasadena. Thanks in advance.
re: Joe Blowe
As for In'n'Out's fries, I agree. Try ordering them well done. They're better that way.
re: Joe Blowe
I've been recommending LA Burger on pico near cresent heights. no one else ever mentions them. anyway, it's a tastey burger.
re: Joe Blowe
Nice list. I agree with the choices (but not the order).
To your list I would add Pig on Beverly. The burger there was nothing short of fantastic.
I have yet to find a great hamburger in LA and I've tried all the above mentioned places. My idea of a good burger is thick patty of freshly ground beef cooked to a juicey medium rare and served on a fresh kaiser roll. This kind of burger needs a minimum, if any, condiments or toppings. Does anyone know where to get one of these, short of buying the premium ingredients and preparing it yourself at home?
The kind of "burger" served at stands and counters around town is a thin patty or two thin patties cooked until dry and lifeless(for fear of e-coli). The end result may be tasty but that is only because the mountain of toppings (cheese, chili, special sauces, pickles, tomatoes, etc.)that only serve to mask the blandness of the "burger" patty itself. I admit to indulging my craving for this kind of "burger" every now and then, but it's like the "burger" is only an afterthought.
re: mike
Try Cassell's, on Sixth near Vermont. USDA Prime beef, ground several times daily--get the 2/3 pound burger cooked rare if you really want to taste the meat. (The Sterns, for example, once called this the best hamburger in the United States.) Good lemonade and homemade potato salad; awful fries.
re: Pepper
At the advice of Citysearch: Best of LA, I recently tried the 2/3 lb. giant at Cassell's and was not impressed at all. It's a decent burger, but my expectations were much higher, and definately NOT the "Best Burger In L.A.". Don't see what all the fuss is about The Apple Pan on Pico is about either. Again, a decent burger, but not deserving of the "Best of LA" title.
re: mike
FINALLY, A WORD OF SANITY IN THE BURGER WARS! I AGREE THAT MOST OF THESE BURGERS BEING TOUTED AS "BEST IN LA" ARE LOW-RENT, DRIED OUT, SPECIAL SAUCE (i.e. RUSSIAN DRESSING) SATURATED GREASE BOMBS THAT ARE NOTHING MORE THAN KISSING COUSINS TO THAT KING OF CHEAP BURGERS: MCDEE! AS A CHOWHOUND WHO APPRECIATES A QUALITY BURGER, I'D FIRST PROPOSE THAT ANY "BEST" BURGER HAS TO BE COOKED OVER OPEN FLAMES, NOT ON THE GREASY GRILL. SECOND, I'D HAVE TO PROPOSE THAT IT STAND ALONE, WITHOUT A MEALY TOMATO AND A WEDGE OF ICEBURG BETWEEN IT AND THE BUN. AND FINALLY---FORGET THE FREAKING SAUCE! A "BEST" IS PURE BURGER, BUN & CRISP PICKLE. THAT BEING SAID, WHERE DOES THIS CHOWHOUND GO FOR HIS BURGERS? THE LOCAL DAILY GRILL. BEST BURGER IN LA. AT ABOUT 8 BUCKS WITH FRIES IT'S NO BARGAIN, BUT THE BEST IN LA...SO FAR....
There is one underrated, if even rated at all, hamburger that deserves notice. The San Francisco Saloon on Pico Boulevard near Sawtelle serves a fantastic burger grilled on an open flame. I have never read a review or seen any notices about this place. The first time I had a burger here I thought that it was an anomoly, but I have never been disappointed. The burgers are thick and charred nicely. I like my burgers with the bare minimum of condiments (Only Ketchup) and you have to ask them to eliminate the inexplicably included mayonnaise. It is worth a journal entry,
Also try the Pie n' Burger in Pasadena. It is well documented on Chowhound and worth the trip. It is most definetely a greasy spoon burger, but a successful one. The pies are wonderful. They make their Coke from scratch which is pretty nice to see. Enjoy!
re: Michael S.
I wrote up the San Francisco Saloon in the L.A. Reader about ten years ago, but I haven't seen any other reviews of the place... They do indeed make a fine burger. I have a fondness for the burgers at Houston's in Manhattan Beach, which are quite good and served with perfectly cooked but generally over-salted fries. Unfortunately the burgers are served on a very soft bun which falls apart while you're eating it. Alas for the demise of Fat Face Fenner's in Hermosa, which had the best burgers in a wide radius. Since they moved the seafood has been fine, but the burgers aren't up to the old standard.
Has anybody tried the burgers at Outlaws on Culver Boulevard? I keep meaning to do so, but I always end up getting a steak or the mixed grill instead. I like the place a lot, both for the good food and the cheerfully seedy atmosphere. It attracts an interesting crowd, a mix of bikers, wannabe cowboys, local blue collar, and interesting riffraff. Last time I was there a Buddhist monk in saffron robes was sitting at the bar having an animated discussion with a woman in a power suit and a scruffy looking guy with hair past his elbows. One of those "only in LA" moments...
I think the key to a truly great hamburger is a very high quality meat patty. They serve a very high quality meat patty at George Petrelli's Steakhouse at 5615 S. Sepulveda Blvd. (at Jefferson) in Culver City (310) 398-9777. Petrelli's burger is 9 to 10 ounces of choice sirloin steak and steak timmings. No cheap cuts of beef in this burger. The owner personally cuts and grounds his own ground beef evry day. They will cook it to your desired doneness. Petrelli's hambuger is served with french fries and the usual add-ons. I think the burger is only served at lunch though. The hamburger is $6.95 and the cheeseburger is $7.35.
Burger lovers, check this out and let me know what you think.
re: Dave Feldman
It was a slice of old L.A.--until it moved to fairly sterile quarters across the street. Although I have to admit, Petrelli's has always been one of those oldish Westside restaurants, like Bruno's and the rest of the Culver City Italian places, whose appeal has managed to elude me.
Anybody been to the Buggy Whip recently?
re: Pepper
My brother lives within walking distance of the Buggy Whip. Occasionally I suggest going there, and I hear groans from my family, not because the food is horrible, but because the portions are so huge (my family, like goldfish and dogs, will eat themselves to death if given the opportunity).
I get the feeling that the quality has stayed level over the past ten years, and little has changed.
re: Dave Feldman
As far as I know, the Buggy Whip is the last place left that serves Green Goddess dressing without irony. And for that alone (as Green Goddess is yet another fine California invention), it deserves a historic preservation act of its own.
re: Pepper
Rest assured, I have it on good authority that Green Goddess still reigns at the Buggy Whip.
re: Pepper
As you know, Green Goddess dressing was invented at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. It's still served at the Garden Court restaurant. Seems to be making a bit of a come back elsewhere up here too. Just wish they wouldn't make it with low-fat yogurt - yuck!
re: Dave Feldman
On a recent Friday night, I met a friend who was staying overnight near Los Angeles Int'l. Airport, and decided that I'd satisfy my curiosity about the nearby Buggy Whip restaurant. Not only was my curiosity piqued by the recent posts by Pepper and Dave Feldman, but the Buggy Whip is owned by the ex-husband of a good friend, and I'd heard a fair amount about it through her. We arrived around 8:30 p.m. to a totally empty restaurant--not a good sign on a Friday night. The only folks around (all of whom, like me, were well along in years) were at the bar, where a pianist/singer was holding forth. One look at the totally boring and mediocre wine list and I suspected that I was in trouble. I ordered fresh oysters to start, followed by prime rib with the Green Goddess salad and a baked potato. My wife also had the oysters, with sand dabs as her entree. Our friend had sea bass. The oysters, Olympias from Washington State, were fresh, nicely chilled, and tasted just fine. The salad was a disappointment, due primarily to the lack of flavor in the celebrated Green Goddess dressing. The prime rib was huge, but substandard in both flavor and texture, and well above the "rare" that I had ordered. My wife's sauteed sand dabs were okay, but nothing special. Our friend's sea bass, which had been baked in foil, was perhaps the best of the three entrees, but, again, nothing to get excited about. I found nothing to justify a return visit.
I think that the hamburger at Bar Marmont is great, as are the fries. It's on the thinner side, which I actually like, the bun is excellents, and they spread on some very tasty spicy sauce.
re: BB
Yeah, Had an AWESOME BURGER there, and the salads are HUGE. The Ginger Salmon Salad is great and they owners father is doing Sushi again on saturday nights. I eat at the new location (3100 Washington near Lincoln). Saw some great looking desserts the last time I was there, I will have to check them out.
I suggest... if you are still searching for a good burger... The Apple Pan on Pico in west LA. It's across from the Westside Pavillion. This little shack has been around since 1947 serving up the best burgers in the WORLD. It's counter seating... first come first serve, and the guys who work there have been there since it started. I love the steakburger, but my sister swears by the hickory burger. try it out.. you won't be dissapointed.
re: Carrie
Reagarding the Apple Pan. The problem with these otherwise innocuous burgers is the relish: a huge amount is cruelly applied.
I've been going here for 8 years and just recently I tried their Ostrich Burger and it was fantastic. But the Billy's Deluxe is The Best Hamburger I've had this side of the Mississippi. And The Turkey Burger (mine's with cheese) is great. All the ingredients are as fresh as can be. And the patty's are big 1/2 pound pre-cooked wieght I imagine. It's in Sherman Oaks in the Valley on the NE corner of Van Nuys Blvd and Magnolia Blvd.
I'm no afficianado, but I like Hamburger Hamlet from what I've tasted. (I'll brace for incoming insults....)
I'm not really an expert either, but I used to live downtown about 4 years ago and I would go to the Happy Hour at McCormick and Schmidt's where the burgers were only $2 or something (I don't know if they still are during Happy Hour) and they were really, really good. At the Happy Hour pricing was a steal. I'd definitely recommend them.
I'm surprised not to see The Counter on this list - it usually shows up and I think they make a great burger. Problem is I hate the room. Always crowded, always loud, always a wait. Not a pleasant experience. And I'm also surprised not to see Barney's (an Oakland important), which I love - there's an outdoor version in the Brentwood Country Mart and a sit down shop further east on San Vicente.
re: Mark Sarvas
I went to Barney's at the Brentwood Country Mart a few years ago and I got a bacon and blue cheese burger with onion rings. Few meals stay with me like this meal at Barney's. I can't believe that this restaurant is popular with any self-respecting foodie in the Bay Area.
As for the burger....
The deep-fried bacon on my burger (picture one large bacon bit) is such a bad start to any meal. How many chow-worthy places can you think of that deep fry their bacon?
The blue cheese, which seemed to be right out of a Costco jumbo tub, was substandard. Costco sells many great products but a tub of blue cheese is not one of them.
The final nails in Barney's coffin were the onion rings. So over cooked that they quite possibly could have been used as coffin nails.
I seem to remember the experience setting me back $10-12.00. The prices seem to be in line with the recently inflated Fatburger prices. Well at least you can get a great burger at Fatburger.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.- Charlotte County Sheriff's detectives have charged a Port Charlotte teen with armed robbery, after an incident that occurred at a local bank drive-thru yesterday evening.
According to reports, a woman pulled into the drive-thru area of the Bank of America, located at 24051 Veterans Blvd., shortly after 8:30 p.m. to make a deposit. The woman had her 7-year-old son in the car with her.
While the victim was in the process of depositing the checks, a male dressed in all black clothing and carrying a handgun came up from the back of her car and approached the driver's side window. The suspect demanded money, so the victim pressed the button to conduct another transaction. She withdrew cash from the ATM which the suspect grabbed as soon as it was dispensed. The suspect fled on foot and the woman sped away to report the incident.
While deputies were meeting with the victim at a nearby location, other deputies went to the area of Bank of America. The Sheriff's Office's Aviation Unit and members of the K9 Unit also responded. The Aviation Unit used its Forward Looking Infra-Red unit (FLIR) to locate a 'hot spot' in a wooded area near the bank. They directed the K9 units to that location and the K9 Units took the suspect, who was dressed as the victim described, into custody.
After further investigation, detectives arrested a 17-year-old on the charge Robbery with a Firearm or Weapon. He was booked into the Charlotte County Jail and turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice.

You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. This little jingle came to my mind as I thought about Dr. Joel Wallach's visit to Walla Walla scheduled for earlier this week.
I first heard of Wallach some 20 years ago while living in Farmington, N.M. I had learned about his book "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" and because I was intrigued by the title I bought a copy. After perusing the book it was my opinion that he was either ignorant of current scientific evidence or he was deliberately ignoring it .
By the time you read this, the meeting already will have taken place, but I want to take the opportunity to write for two reasons.
One is that some people may have left his meeting convinced that they needed to buy the product or products he promotes. The second reason is to alert folks to the existence of the website Quackwatch. which is devoted to debunking false medical claims.
One of Wallach's claims is that the average age at death of doctors is 58. I knew that was not true from reading the obituary column in the Journal of the American Medical Association for a number of years. Not only that but I knew from my own medical school class that a significant number of my medical school classmates are still alive and we all are above the age of 80.
In a presentation by Wallach I accessed while preparing this column I heard him say that he had done 3,000 autopsies on humans. He is a veterinary doctor and a naturopath. I know of no hospital nor mortuary in this country that would allow either veterinarians or naturopaths to do autopsies on humans.
In the same presentation, he quoted from the U.S. Senate Document 264, which would have been entered during the 74th Congress, second session, in 1936.
Following are portions of that document: the alarming fact is that food now being raised on millions of acres of land that can no longer contain enough of certain minerals are now starving us — no matter how much we eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them…Laboratory tests prove that fruit, vegetables, grains, eggs, and even the milk and meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago … it is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99 percent of the American people are deficient in these minerals.
What Wallach failed to mention — could that have been deliberate? — was that although this was in the Congressional record the information did not come from any governmental research.
It was originally printed in a 1936 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine and was inserted in the Congressional record by a Florida senator.
It is my understanding that members of Congress are free to have things they are interested in inserted in the Congressional minutes. It needs to be emphasized that just because something has been entered in the Congressional minutes does not mean that if is official, that it represents government approval, or that it represents good scientific studies.
The Quackwatch article on Wallach mentions a number of other statements he has made, such as that he has cured cases of Alzheimer's disease in pigs. Or that 50 percent of Americans 70 years old have Alzheimer's disease. The true figure is much lower in that age group. Or that facial wrinkles and grey hair are caused by copper deficiency.
From my knowledge of Wallach it appears he did not come to Walla Walla for his health but because he has products to sell. One of the things he sells is colloidal mineral waters. Someone needs to ask him to provide the references from respected scientific journals that show the benefits of colloidal mineral waters.
A number of other companies are peddling these waters. Most of them come from shale deposits in Utah. One of those companies is reportedly grossing $3 million per month. This makes it sound like plenty of people are buying in to the propaganda these companies publish. There have been reported adverse effects from using those waters.
As a final note a question has been raised about ethics. It seems quite appropriate to me for someone to ask Wallach how ethical it is for him to promote products that have not been scientifically proven.
Dr. Don Casebolt of College Place is a retired physician who is passionate about preventive medicine. He spent four years as a medical officer in the U.S. Navy, the last 2 1/2 years as a flight surgeon. He also worked on the Navajo Reservation for 22 years.

First and foremost, I think I owe Dr. Jackie an apology. At the time I did not realize how much time and thought she had put into the Lemon Squeeze, and now I really appreciate her effort to get the ladies together to make peace.
It was hard for me to sit there and keep silent, since I was still furious at Mariah. I had not received an explanation or an apology from her since the party -- only a letter from her stating that she would be canceling all charges, as I explained in an earlier blog entitled "Paypal is No Friend of Mariah's"
The reason I never lie is because not only is it bad energy, but you look like a fool when you get caught.

Russia. As much as that sprawling, Eurasian country has given us, nothing – not even vodka – can rank above the country singlehandedly turning the dash cam into a spectator sport. Thanks to various safety issues, those diminutive little video cameras are a necessary part of life in the former communist country. While we're sure they spend most of their lives recording meaningless miles, every once in a while, they capture something truly extraordinary.
Take a look below for what could be the next great Russian dash cam video, discovered by English Russia. The short but amusing video involves the transportation of what looks like a large animal sculpture in a dump truck. Oh, deer.

FM Davutoglu to succeed Erdogan as Turkey's PM
Thursday, August 21, 2014
ANKARA - Turkey's President-elect Recep Tayyip Erdogan has nominated Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to be the country's prime minister and the leader of the ruling Justice and Development Party.
Davutoglu's name has been determined by consensus reached after intense negotiations within the party, Erdogan said Thursday following a meeting of his party's executive committee.
Davutoglu will replace Erdogan as the prime minister of the Republic of Turkey if elected as the party chairman at the extraordinary congress of the party due on August 27.
Erdogan said no feeling of resentment occurred within the party during the process of determining the nominee.
"Those who are expecting discord and dissociation in our party will once more be disappointed both during the period until the party congress and its afterwards," he said.
Erdogan will be inaugurated as Turkey's 13th president on August 28, one day after the party congress. He is expected to designate the new PM on August 29.
According to the results of August 10 presidential election, outgoing PM Erdogan won by 51.79 percent of the vote while his rivals Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu and Selahattin Demirtas garnered 38.44 percent and 9.76 percent respectively.

A Statistical Study of the Variability and Features of Audio Signals: Some Preliminary Results
Audio coding methods (both lossy and lossless) can benefit from prior knowledge of audio signal statistics, which can exploit time domain stationarities. An extensive study is presented applying numerous criteria (e.g., energy, entropy, tonality, and likelihood) to successive frames of audio data. The statistics of these criteria variations are presented and classified, together with an assessment of their respective performance.

Need recs near Hampton Beach
I know this is pretty far-fetched, but I'm heading to the good ole Hampton Beach Casino this Friday to see a show and wanted to know if there's anything at all resembling decent food in the area.
If there's nothing decent foodwise around, how about a decent place to grab drinks before the show?
Ocean Wok for Chinese....very good Americanized Chinese.
Merrilee's Dockside Dining at Eastman's Docks before the Hampton Bridge on the Seabrook side. Nice deck for dinner and drinks. Casual.
I've heard great things about Ocean Wok.
In Seabrook you can go to Markey's or Brown's for some lobster/steamers. Both are really casual...not sure what your looking for.
The Tuna Striker down at Eastman's is my favorite place for drinks...it's a total dive but just fantastic at the same time.
Top of the Harbor in Seabrook is awful...IMO. Rude service and overpriced.
Ron's Landing is right up the street on the same side as the Casino. Food is decent and the drinks are pretty good.
In Seabrook right at Rte 286 is the Round Rock Restaurant - a locals place that sees a lot of off-season traffic.
I concur with the CH'ers that recommended Ocean Wok. We were just there this past Friday (second time this summer) and was excellent as usual. The crispy battered haddock in sweet and sour chili sauce was very good both times. Service is very good as well BUT parking can be extremely difficult as it is very limited.
Ron's Landing is very good (was much better when Ron was part of it though). And you could park near the Casino and walk to and from Ron's easily (10 minute walk at the most).
Mama Leone's (bottom floor of the Hillcrest on Ocean Boulevard) has decent Italian food and the Ashworth has a casual pub (nautical theme) with good pub fare - both are within easy strolling distance to the Casino.
re: RandyL
Second the vote for Brown's. Bring your own appetizers, wine (or beer), table cloth and candles. Sit outside and watch the sun go down over the inlet.
I have been a few times to a really great restaurant called the Purple Urchin. It is right near the Casino Ballroom and the food is very very good. They have excellent seafood and the lobsters are great. We also like to hang out sometimes on the patio bar they have when we want to grab a bite and have a few drinks. Very fun place with great food. You also cannot beat the view!
i agree, check out the Purple Urchin - my friends and i stumbled on it last summer when going to a show.. we had a lot of fun and even ended up going back there after the show- they have an outdoor patio with good drinks and the food was really good and not over priced!

The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory. - Col. Jeff Cooper.

All I can say is I had a couple tears in my eyes as I stood and raised my hand yet again now for the 6th time as I watched this video. Each time I said it, I meant it more than the last and even though Im retired now, this is my country and the re-creationists cannot have it while I live and breath. They cant have any of my rights until In so dead I cant defend them anymore. Then I hope that a whole slew of young American Fighting Men and Women after recognize the meaning of raising their hand after Im gone. Its not to protect the President, The Congress or Mrs BHO, its to defend the Constitution and that all!
Weib, you need to read some entire history books that place things in context, and not just Bartletts quotations.

Judges grant McKinnon extradition review
@ Deja Vu
LOL, I'm sure if the Ernest Saunders defence fails he'll try the Pinochet methodology of avoiding extradition and failing that we'll all be subject to mass hysteria from the rent-an-excuse-for-Gary-cos-we-are-limp-liberals-and-don't-like-the-nasty-US-of-fucking-A crowd.
Personally, I'd wish he was extradited as soon as possible to stop this freaking crass saga of sympathy for a nobody that broke the law. FFS, Mitnick broke the law and did his time, what makes poor little Gary and his "oh dear I seem to have suddenly developed an illness when ALL of my options for avoiding extradition have failed. Please take pity on poor little me, flutter-flutter/puppy dogs eyes"** any different?
Gary, you shouldn't have done it, if you hadn't then you wouldn't be in this position, would you?
Paris, because if she can, "Young Gary" can...!
**My personal view of events only.

He did no damage to UK systems or UK assets, so why would we want to prosecute him here then?

...But I still think the dick deserves all he gets for dicking around with something he shouldn't have dicked around with, US .mil systems.
Open you f**king eyes Gary, you have landed this one all by yourself so don't go crying back to the CPS now.
MPs join fight to save McKinnon from US prison
I'll pay for his airfare to the US....
He did the crime, so now it's pay back time and for all those muppets that will state "he did it in the UK so he should stand trial here"
It does not matter where the perpetrator was when he committed the crimes, his victims were in the US, the systems he attacked were in the US, so simple logic suggests that the trial should be in the US.
After all, a Libyan who planted bombs on a Jumbo was not in Scotland when he did that, but as the victims were in Scotland when the Crime happened and the properties that were destroyed/damaged were in Scotland, they stood trial on Scottish 'soil'. and under Scottish Law.
See, isn't logic easy !!!

UK teen is world's youngest certified ethical hacker (maybe)
Boot Camp Chimps
I'm always very wary about these so called "Certified Ethical Hackers". The qualification appears to effectively demonstrate that the "Show Monkey, Monkey Do" principle is still working as well as it has every done. Very much like it did with the Novell, Microsoft, etc courses where after a week of intense parrot style studying and little if any real world experience, you then become a fully 'Certified <Insert Vendor of your choice here> Professional'.... BOLLOCKS...!
Don't get me wrong, the teenager who passed this course has done well, I know of some Monkeys who've actually failed the course.
All the "ethical hackers" I know and work with would not touch these courses with a barge pole (although some have been known to go on them to ridicule and humiliate the course tutors) and most Security Professionals who need the services of Ethical Hackers know that experience is the key and any Monkey waving a 'pseudo qualification' is avoided like Microsoft Security (alleged) products :o)

Cornish separatists menace Jamie Oliver
Cornish Pasty
Whats wrong with the Cornish minority? Are they frightened that 'new blood' might dilute their stagnant gene pool and prevent them from inbreeding?
I'm not surprised they have someone from the faux Free Wales Army, both groups seem to have an IQ that verifies centuries of inbreeding.
Statements such as "English Out" are proudly used by both groups, but ask them this simple question: "OK, I'll get out of Wales/Cornwall, but can send all the Welsh/Cornish fsckers back?", they kinda go geo-stationary!!!

Bip Ling must surely be the poster girl for the slash generation - she's got more off-shoots than a bansai and more energy than a kennel-full of puppies to carry out her many day (and night) jobs. DJ, model, fashion darling, designer, art buff... the list goes on but a new title can be added to her bursting repertoire: popstrel. With years of experience in the music biz, Bip thought it about time to get her own tunes on the air and so a song was born. Naturally, for the girl whose blog could cause the sanest surfer to trip out with it's hilar content and gif-tastic visuals, this is no ordinary production. With designer clothes a-plenty, a wink or four of ironic and knowing references and her signature cartoon-y graphics, Miss Ling's latest venture is a fun-fest. We caught up with the firecracker to learn more about 'Bipping' and you can watch the video below!
GraziaDaily: Firstly, what prompted you to record a music video?
Bip Ling: I've been DJing for over seven years and I've always loved music. I get obsessive about finding new tracks and sounds, and spend a lot of time researching what's new for my DJ sets, and also music for my blog. I can't write the blog if I don't have some sounds on in the background, the two always go together, the music fuels my blog. I thought it would be fun to try and capture some of the noise going on in my head and put together an ironic take on what I was thinking and how I saw things, all to a good beat.
GraziaDaily: When did you first write it?
Bip Ling: I started thinking about writing it over a year ago, and then it took me a while to build up the lyrics and get them to a point where they felt right.. The chorus "She's cool, She's hip, she's Bip the Punky Chip with the Saucy Dip" was inspired by a funny rap that I made up when I was a kid, I was excited to find out that my name Bip rhymed with so many different words and I used to play with it for fun. I wrote the rest of the song at the beginning of last year when I was in a transitionary mood yar.
GraziaDaily: How did you make it happen?
Bip Ling: My ideas all came together with support from a lot of cool people. A lot of my favourite designers provided clothes, we had Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Ralph Lauren, Christian Louboutin, and David Morris Fine Jewellery. Spirit Media helped realise my ideas, and my agents at Storm were brilliant at putting it all together. My friend Naomi Regan did the hair, Jade Bird and Tashi Ungar did makeup and Theo White was great at organising a lot. It was Bipping crazy but fun !
GraziaDaily: How and when did you first come up with the idea?
Bip Ling: I was approached by two British producers who wanted to record my Brit accent for something they were working on. And this made me think about putting my voice to some of the ideas and lyrics I had floating around in my head. I started writing and came up with "I take the photo, the photo into the camera which goes through the wire. The wire into the computer, the computer uploads, uploads, uploads, GEEZ I have taken LOADS!" I got hooked on the idea of making my BIPPING track, and then worked with a few producers to get the right sound.
GraziaDaily: In general, when do you best ideas come to you? Is there anything in particular that inspires you?
Bip Ling: I find inspiration in all sorts of things, from the sky to the way I'm feeling, ideas come to me at the weirdest times. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and I have to blog, or write some random notes down. I take inspiration from everything around me, people, interesting style, art – whether it's paintings, sculptures, photography, architecture, a conversation...
GraziaDaily: How would you define A.) bipping and B.) mooching?
Bip Ling: Bipping is a word play on my name Bip Ling, and for me it describes the way I work and how I process and create my blog - it's that moment when all my ideas come together. I came up with 'mooching' five years ago when I was 19 and it describes the attitude I was feeling. Mooching is the way of life and attitude - doing what ya want when ya want, it's the way to be seen and the way to see.
GraziaDaily: And so… what is your favourite saucy dip?
BBQ sauce yarrr!!!!

WILKES-BARRE – An attorney for a man facing drug charges has asked a judge to decide whether police should be required to turn over an audio and video recording of a alleged drug transaction made by a confidential informant in the case.
Assistant Public Defender Michael Kostelaba argued prosecutors are obligated to release the recording because it's important evidence in the case against Aaron Frantz.
First Assistant District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said police have rightfully denied access to the tapes to protect the informant's safety and ensure he or she can continue to work with police.
Frantz, 63, of Zerby Avenue, Edwardsville was charged in July 2012 with selling cocaine to an informant on Oct. 21, 2011. The informant had placed a call to Frantz, then wore a video recording device while making the purchase, according to an arrest affidavit.
Kostelaba has asked the District Attorney's Office to turn over both the audio and video recording, but authorities have refused. That prompted him to file a motion Thursday seeking to compel the disclosure of the tapes.
In an interview, Kostelaba said the defense should be permitted to review the tapes if the informant is to be called as a witness for the prosecution. It's what police purport to be evidence of the crime, therefore it's critical to the defense, he said. If the (informant) is a witness, they're a witness. They can't just be a witness for one side.
Sanguedolce said the courts have long recognized the legitimate interests of police in protecting the confidentiality of informants.
Not surprisingly, drug dealers tend to be violent, said Sanguedolce. When someone who is a drug dealer finds out another person ratted them out to police, it puts that person in danger.
With that in mind, the courts have said defendants are not automatically entitled to review tapes. They must show a valid reason as to why the information is crucial to their case.
There has to be more than a mere allegation, Sanguedolce said. The defendant must demonstrate a good faith basis, (such as) the officer misstated the fact in the affidavit.
The motion will now be assigned to a judge, who will issue a ruling at a later date.

Although this past year wasn't a film blockbuster, it had some bright spots.
Philip Kaufman's Quills is a harsh, lush lecture on sensuality and censorship.

There are many diseases associated with pugs because of their unique appearances. Some common health problems among pugs are pug dog encephalitis, respiratory diseases, and leg and bone defects. Some of these are genetically acquired at birth while others are obtained while growing up. For this article, focus will be given to the pug throats' most common problem called elongated soft palate.
Pugs have a unique face shape that caused an elongation in the soft palate—the back of the throat that a pug can stretch longer than what is normal and makes air passage difficult. Because of the constriction in the throat where air passes, you will sometimes hear your pugs wheezing or producing some funny sounds while breathing. It also causes coughing and snoring which some people find disturbing.
As a pug owner, you should not let your pug exercise too much or they will have difficulty breathing which is a common problem with pug throats. You will find them gasping for breath. This is not good because it can cause acute problems with respiration and even heart attack which is fatal.
Also, pugs tend to play too much because it is in their nature. It is up to you to monitor their play time to make sure that they do not overexert themselves and that they will have enough time to rest and relax.
Fortunately, this common pug throats condition is treatable. You can ask for an animal surgeon to shorten the soft palate. This process will be very good for your pug since it will add more years to its life. It is also best to consult a vet before the condition gets worse.
